Astronomy Lecture Series: A Scientist Looks at
April 21, 2010
7 to 8:30 p.m.
As part of the 11th annual
Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series
, Astronomer
David Morrison, Ph.D.
, of the
NASA Ames Research Center
, will present
A Scientist Looks at "Doomsday 2012" &
The Rise of Cosmophobia
, an illustrated, non-technical lecture,
Wednesday, April 21, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
in the Smithwick Theatre at
Foothill College
in Los Altos Hills. Admission is free and the public is invited. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Arrive early to locate parking.
Many people have heard the rumors through the media, on the Internet, seeing the big-budget movie, or from friends that the world will end in 2012--and that some astronomical event or alignment is to blame. According to some versions, this "doomsday" scenario was predicted by ancient civilizations and we are just waking up to "the truth." Is there scientific basis to these rumors?
Dr. Morrison runs
Ask an Astrobiologist
, a Web site through which the public can ask NASA questions about life in the universe, and for the past two years he has found himself overwhelmed by questions on the "2012 doomsday" topic. He has now tracked down many of the stories that gave rise to a new fear of the heavens--what he calls "cosmophobia". At the April 21 lecture, he will discuss the scientific perspective on the chances that we won't be around after 2012. There are lessons here about the way a scientifically unsophisticated segment of the public can be manipulated by hoaxers out to make a buck by frightening people.
Morrison is the director of
NASA's Lunar Science Institute
and director of the
Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life
at the
SETI Institute
. A world-renowned planetary scientist and expert in the field of asteroid impacts, he is the author of more than 155 technical papers and has published a dozen popular books and introductory textbooks. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his scientific and educational work, including the
Sagan Medal
of the
American Astronomical Society
for public communication. Dr. Morrison was a founder of the multidisciplinary field of astrobiology, which is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. This multidisciplinary field encompasses the search for habitable environments in our Solar System and habitable planets outside our Solar System, the search for evidence of prebiotic chemistry and life on Mars and other bodies in our Solar System, laboratory and field research into the origins and early evolution of life on Earth, and studies of the potential for life to adapt to challenges on Earth and in space.

FERC's ROE incentive adder policy sends the wrong signals.
Scott H. Strauss is a partner and Jeffrey A. Schwarz is of counsel at Spiegel & McDiarmid in Washington, D.C.
FERC's ROE incentive adder policy sends the wrong signals.
Since mid-2006, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has responded to a Congressional directive by considering—and, generally, approving—scores of public utility requests for "incentive" rate treatment of new transmission investment. Recently, FERC has been ruling on incentive rate applications on an almost assembly-line basis. Between September 1 and December 4, 2008, FERC issued nearly a dozen separate incentive rate orders approving requests for hundreds of millions of dollars in incentives. But FERC must confront, directly and consistently, serious flaws in its emerging policy regarding one category of incentive: return on equity (ROE) incentive adders.
The need to delineate when and to what extent ROE adders are appropriate is more urgent than ever. Current transmission plans include billions of dollars in proposed new projects. The Obama Administration has promised to "moderniz[e] the grid," 1 while interest groups have called for new facilities to interconnect renewable generation resources. 2 Unless FERC applies more focused guidelines, the ROE incentive regimen will function largely as a windfall for transmission owners and, worse, won't encourage cost-efficient construction and maintenance of transmission systems.
Incentive Rate Regimen
In Section 219 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. § 824s, enacted as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, 3 Congress addressed concerns about under-investment in transmission infrastructure. While assuming for purposes of this article that certain incentives may be needed to promote transmission construction, at the time Section 219 was enacted there was evidence suggesting the industry already had begun to remedy past under-investment. The Edison Electric Institute's 2005 "EEI Survey of Transmission Investment" 4 found:
• "[T]he industry has reversed a long-standing downward trend in transmission investment," id. at 3;
• "[T]ransmission investment, in constant dollars, declined from 1975 through 1998[, but]… has been increasing since 1999," id.;
• "Over the 1999-2003 period, transmission investment increased at a 12 percent annual rate," id. ; and
• Planned investment for 2004-08 was 62 percent of 2003 net book value, reaching "levels not seen in nearly 30 years," id. at 5.
EPACT 2005 nonetheless directed FERC to establish, by rule, "incentive-based (including performance-based) rate treatments for the transmission of electric energy[,]" in order to "benefit consumers by ensuring reliability and reducing the cost of delivered power by reducing transmission congestion." Among other things, Congress directed FERC to provide incentives that promote "reliable and economically efficient transmission" and to offer ROEs that will attract new transmission investment. Congress also instructed FERC to encourage deployment of transmission technologies and other measures to improve the capacity, efficiency, and operations of existing facilities. However, FERC's discretion to adopt incentives was limited. FPA Section 219(d) provided that all incentive rates would remain "subject to the requirements of [FPA] sections 205 and 206" and must be "just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential."
In its rulemaking proceeding, 5 FERC announced its incentives regimen and a

"You wouldn't like me when I'm angry..." OR "Dr. Jekyll and Jiminy Cricket"
I'm a collector of odd facts. I remember hearing this one some time ago, about how grasshoppers morph into brutal locusts under certain conditions but I find that often the "facts" you hear word of mouth aren't always factual. (Unfortunately, a lot of facts in those 1001 Fascinating Fact books are often wrong too... I've thought of writing a 1001 Fascinating Falsehoods [you thought were facts!], but I'll just have to add that to my to do list.)
Anyway, it's true!. I guess grasshoppers are the poster-insect for serotonin induced mania.


text: I love the Clone Wars show and watched every episode. I do not like the figure line (just don't like how cartoony it is, didn't like the other cartoon line either) but since Hasbro as confirmed for the one millionth time (I don't know why people keep asking) that they will never cross over figures I have decided to just suck it up and buy an Ashoka cause from what I can tell, she's close enough as as good as it will get. However this figure is impossible to find! I remember everyone was having a hard time when she was new but it seems Hasbro isn't carrying her over in new waves. This is ridiculous! She's the first new Star Wars character introduced in major media in years and they aren't producing her like mad as every little kid and collector is going to want at least one? Any word of Hasbro planning to correct this issue?

Didn't find anything new today. Although, Eagle Rock Target finally put up their endcap of Target SW exclusives (Aayla Starfighter, Kashyyyk BPs and Galactic Heroes). Only a couple months late.
Wanted: -
SW Customs Album
Finally found a full set of Dark Knight Movie Masters. They are by far the best figure out right now! All I have to do now is find the 4 other mask pack-in variants on the Goon...
Picked up a Vader & Leia Infinities comic pack at TRU Hawthorne today. This is the first time I have ever seen this comic pack in stores, so I'm happy I got a chance to snag it.
Just a reminder, no one has claimed the Neyo and Crimson pack I stashed yesterday. If anyone is still interested, PM me.
Being the fool that I am, I wasted time going to LC TRU and MLK/C WM. Not only were their SW sections horrible, their Indy sections were even worse with only Mutt Williams and Cairo Swordsmen available. La Brea had only Swordsmen as well as a grey dot already on the Indy pegs.
Fortunately, the much maligned LF TRU had the figures I've been looking for and with good paint apps - both of the KotCS (for Stilla's benefit, that's Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ) Indy's, a Cemetary Warrior, Sallah and Raiders Indy w. jacket. The latter 2 I've had on preorder from HTS but after hearing all the poor paint app accounts both on here and other sites, I decided to just get the good paint apps while I can and then return the HTS ones later on.
Btw, Turbo, if you want to talk about crappy figures, you haven't seen crappy figures until you've seen the ones for the new Hulk movie.
There's a new Hulk movie? What a shame. Hollywood will never learn that Comic book movie's suck @ss along with 90% of all the other movies they make.

Infrastructure Enhancements Key to Port of Vancouver USA's Future
November 27, 2012
The Port of Vancouver USA – the third largest port in the State of Washington – has been investing heavily in its infrastructure in anticipation of surging U.S. exports.
The demand for agricultural commodities and aggregates has never been stronger, said Curtis Shuck, the port's director of economic development and facilities.
"We are determined to become a critical transportation hub in the region," he said. "Our deep water and rail connections are a big advantage now, but we can't stop building for the future."
Indeed, improvements underway include its rail expansion project – which when complete – will reduce congestion on the lines by 40 percent and triple the amount of unit trains that can be handled by the port.
In a deal announced recently, the West Vancouver Freight Access Terminal 5 Expansion / SPL project was awarded to Apollo, Inc. of Kennewick, WA which is currently 55 percent complete with construction that will add approximately 2,450 feet of new track and relocate 6,300 feet of track within the Terminal 5 loop track. This configuration will result in the ability to handle 120 cars at the new facility versus the original 110.
Granite Construction began paving 1,600 tons of asphalt layered with geo-composite fabric earlier this month, and is currently 80 percent complete. Coast Rail, the rail subcontractor for the project, then laid 800 rail ties, arranging the foundation for future rail that will unload potash at the facility.
This is the second phase of a two-phase project. The SPL project began construction in August 2012 and is estimated to be complete in the first quarter of 2013.
"The same level of investment is being made in warehousing and staging areas," said Shuck.
He also noted that a grant agreement between the Washington State Department of Commerce and the port was finalized in September, completing the steps necessary to secure $5.7 million in grant funding that will be used to develop 58 acres of the port's Centennial Industrial Park.
Situated on the north side of State Route 501 in Southwest Washington, Centennial Industrial Park encompasses 108 acres zoned for light industrial use. The property has proximity to a deep-draft shipping channel, key freeway freight corridors, and dual-carrier rail service by BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad. In addition, a binding site plan and a development agreement for the property are in place between the port and the city of Vancouver, making the project fully vested.
"There's good reason for the Columbia River Economic Development Council's designation of this property as a development of county-wide significance, "said Shuck. "It's one of the most development-ready light industrial sites in Clark County, and thanks to the grant funding we can fast-track our site improvements to meet growing market demands, which is especially important now that the port's industrial occupancy rate is 99 percent."

You were the one that made the declaration that if something better existed, then you would buy it. That, by implication, means you have no brand loyalty to Apple, therefore I asked you to prove lack of that brand loyalty by scratching off the logo.
I'll help to try and clarify BitZtream's point a little... not adding an Apple logo onto a computer that does not yet have an Apple logo is worlds different from scratching an Apple logo off of a computer that does have one. "The Apple branding on my devices isn't important" means that one does not care if it's there or not. Not caring about whether or not there is an Apple logo means that, without added incentive, one is not going to add an Apple logo if it's not there, and one is not going to scratch it off if it is. It does not necessitate scratching off an already-existing logo, because it has already been posited that one does not care.
Furthermore, if one scratches the Apple logo off of one's computer without an external incentive to do so, then it can be safely assumed that one does, indeed, care whether or not there is an Apple logo on the machine.
In fact, I believe that it would be enlightening to see how many people would pay $50 less to get an Apple computer that doesn't sport an Apple logo versus an otherwise-equivalent one that does.
Yes, you are correct. I *AM* concerned enough about logos to the point where they are not the sole criteria by which I choose to use something. Similarly, I know enough about them to realise that just sticking a logo on something means the price of it can be increased. Other than that, I can't say I even remember who made the BIOS on each one of the PCs I own - maybe when I'm bored with "fishing for fanbois and reeling them in", I'll reboot this machine, take a look and then let you know.
It sounds to me like you're making an implicit straw-man comparison here. I doubt that most people who buy Apple products do so solely because of the logo, though that may play a non-zero role in the decision-making process, and the branding likely does get reflected somewhat in the price of the product. For instance, Mac OS X does not come pre-installed (legally) on any other manufacturer's computers that I know of. Say what you will about the relative merits and demerits of that operating system versus others, Mac OS X is more valuable to some people than Microsoft Windows is, and those people will pay a higher price for a Mac than they will for a "Windows machine" of equivalent hardware specifications.
I am not automatically an Apple hater - it's just in 30+ years of using computers and gadgets, I've never worked out a good enough reason to buy anything they've made. I stand prepared to be educated by those who do - so off you go then, I'm listening...
I completely agree with your stated position, though I can only really claim a mere 15+ years of using computers and gadgets, myself.
One potentially good reason that one might buy an Apple machine, if you are genuinely looking for such a reason, is to be able to develop applications to sell on the App Store. That kind of exposure could be lucrative under the proper conditions. It's not a good reason for me to buy a Mac for myself, but I believe that it is a good enough reason for the rational consumer who does have those needs.
They are both thefts, stealing ideas or stealing merchandise, where is the difference? Both are the products of others. What if the online source is a paid subscription model? Would that make the two equal? Is it OK to take from an public source like Wikipedia? Does that lessen the crime or just make one victim stand out more than another?
I don't see a difference except in who is getting cheated, in the first you are depriving someone the profits of their successful livelihood, in the second your depriving yourself of becoming better, in fact your caving into the problem many see in "this generation" (which this generation is this at the time is subject to those looking down on them) which is too do as little as possible for the greatest reward. You are establishing a work method that will likely stick with you your entire career and it will hobble them in it.
Downloading a copy of a Ke$ha song and listening to it for one's own entertainment generally does not lead to passing it off as one's own song.
On the other hand, copying down what an expert says about one's topic into a paper without citing that expert is, in fact, passing it off as one's own work.
It's the difference between downloading Firefox and downloading the source code to Firefox, removing references to the people who wrote the code, compiling/packaging it, and giving it to someone, calling it "this awesome web browser I wrote".
(I know, that analogy is flawed in some ways, but it illustrates the main point...)
And again you fail. Math is correct this time, but the statistical extrapolation is flawed.
If the math is the same as what you're doing, then the statistical extrapolation is no different from what you did; I just used more months to illustrate that, as you point out, that extrapolation is flawed, since applying it can potentially result in impossibly large numbers.
So you've hit on what I'm trying to say: you shouldn't project that a browser's market share will increase by k% each month into the future. All browsers' market share figures must add up to 100%. So, right off the bat, the projected share will be greater than 100% after some amount of months.
Unless there's some reason why using 6 months is OK but using 27 months is not? Because with k=40 (see above for what I mean by k), the number is over 100% after 6 months too.
There are other better reasons why you shouldn't use this figure for projections, but I haven't been able to both give those reasons and keep this post kinda short, so I just left it at the one.
OK, then, I shall try again.
If I follow your math correctly, then in just 27 months, over 105% of internet users (17% * (107% ^ 27)) will be using WebKit browsers!
If I follow your math correctly, then in just one year, 101% of internet users (17% + (7% * 12)) will be using WebKit browsers, leaving just -1% left to split between Mozilla-derived, Opera, and Internet Explorer!

OtherOS was Sony's single best security feature.
Well said.
George Hotz ("geohot") tried his hand at it, given that he had been rather successful at cracking Apple's iStuff. He found an exploit that gave hypervisor access, and in response, Sony removed OtherOS in a firmware update, as geohot's hack required use of OtherOS.
So this can all be traced back to geohot getting involved... though in my opinion, Sony shouldn't have responded by removing OtherOS, causing all the collateral damage. It inevitably was going to result in a lot of really serious people getting involved and, by extension, more stories like this.
A bald-faced lie? They said Wikileaks was violating several of the terms of service. One of the terms of service is "don't use our service to break US law". It's pretty clear that Wikileaks was violating US law. Ergo, not a lie.
Nearly every legal expert who has spoken on this topic has argued that Wikileaks has not violated US law.
At any rate, you're nitpicking over the wording used by the Amazon representative. Perhaps "doesn't own or otherwise control the rights to the classified content" was not the clearest way to put it, but unless you're deliberately being dense, the meaning is clear: Wikileaks is not permitted by US law to distribute these documents. Clearly, distributing documents in violation of US law qualifies under "don't use our service to break US law".
Publishing classified documents is not illegal, unless the documents fit certain criteria that (so far) these leaks do not. The person or organization who leaks the documents does have some liability, but not Wikileaks. As has been said many times before, Wikileaks is analogous to the New York Times in the Pentagon Papers incident.
Thank you for a comprehensive, readable explanation of the supply-and-demand model as it applies to digital (and other) sales. May this post be modded up to +5 Informative.

Tannehill is Kyle Boller 2.0
Someone has waaaay too much time on their hands. Go get a girlfriend, or a boyfriend, or whichever! Holy ****
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious
@Thewarrior Depends on the talent surrounding the player? I agree slightly but, Not as much as you think... Dan Marino did pretty damn good with average talent surrounding him... Andrew Luck is doing VERY WELL (8-4) with a HORRIBLE DEFENSE and Little talent around him on offense. Unless you think an offense with Vick Ballard, Donald Brown, Donnie Avery, and Ty Hilton, and Reggie Wayne is considered "An offense loaded with talent".
The Dolphins should be over 500. with what we have, right now! Tannehill missing as many deep balls as he has this year troubles me. Those deep balls are not the Receivers fault, when the receiver gets over the top of the coverage; ITS the QB's job to deliver the pass on point. He honestly reminds me of a young Chad Henne. (Just a bit shorter, I know how you feel about how they have to "look the same" to compare them) Tannehill also NEVER PUMP FAKES and he ALWAYS stares down his receivers!!! Just like CHAD HENNE!
The real reason we should be over 500. is because of our defense alone! In reality, are defense forces opposing teams offenses to play one dimensional the ENTIRE game. Our front 7 is VERY good! All we need is more consistency from the QB position. 7 TD to 12 INT is not gonna work! I don't care how good your defense is!
This one is fine. I thought you banned my other account Nub. I guess I had too many curse words or I was to harsh in one of my post.
Damn...they'll give anyone a college degree now-a-days!
Okay. What do the non-aquas want as a solution? Commit to Matt Moore long term? Draft another qb in the 1st round next year? Pick up a scrub free agent next year that has never demonstrated the results you obviously command? Or are we just venting here?
People bitch bitch bitch that Tannehill is not this or he is not that cause he is struggling on an offense with below average talent. What is the solution that all of us aquas are missing?
JC, We want an Owner/GM that has the NUTS to suck for LUCK! What was the point of winning games at the end of the season last year? You invest 1 more month of losing games to get a FRANCHISE QB IN ANDREW LUCK FOR THE NEXT 15 YEARS! The Colts knew what they were doing. What did we get out of it? We want a Owner/GM that would trade up to get RG3! Daniel Snyder (owner of the skins) has NUTS!!! The Owner/GM for the Falcons has NUTS trading up for Julio Jones! NUTS BABY!!! NUTS!!! We want a GM/owner that understands that letting your coach make decisions is OK! These were 2 Blue chip prospects. 2 Guys that are intellectual and have brilliant football minds. Not gansta's,pot heads, and hot heads. EVERYBODY KNEW Luck and RG3 were cant miss players! Just like EVERYBODY knew back in 1998 that Manning was the Lock and Leaf was a Hot head with talent... Everybody KNEW LEAF WAS A HOT HEAD CHILD WITH TALENT!

Picasa gives you the choice to scan once or to scan always. When this has happened to me, I go in and change it to something else (like scan once) then change back to scan always and then it seems to find the new again. ????? Not sure why that works but you can give it a try.
That's kind of what I was going to say, Lynn. I guess it's sort of like restarting the computer again once in awhile so that things that aren't, can be recognized?

I find that too sometimes and when I get impatient i do exactlywhat you did and it finds it. Its like it needs to refresh.8

good news for Kennebec Salmon
The National Academy of Science has determined that the Kennebecs Salmon are wild and distinct. In an earlier summary they did not aknowledge them. After reviewing the document provided to them by Freinds of the Kennebec Salmon they revisted the Kennebec. They were very interested in the rivers potential since the removal of the Edwards Dam. On April 19 they came out for a tour of the river and were impressed. They were so impressed that they recommended that the state not stock the river with salmon. They felt this would be detrimental to the Kennebecs wild and distinct present population.
The NAOS became involved when Maines salmon were listed as an endangered species. The governor and Maines congressional delegation brought in the NAOS in to review the listing. This was thier last ditch effort to dicredit the listing and Maines wild salmon. The academy after a year long review supported the listing.
This is a real victory for Kennebec Salmon. Up untill now they have been the ugly step children of Maines Salmon. Now they have been recognized for what they truly are distinct, wild and incredibly tenacious and adaptable to survive in this river against all odds.

This is one of the best things I've heard in ages concerning atlantics in the United States. For decades those few like you and I and others we know who visualize wild a/s thriving in the northeast before the industrial error (era) have been clinging to a small ray of hope that these salmon might return to the US someday.
Most of society either has no interest or their interest is squashed by the reality that we've made the ideal of wild atlantics thriving in America remote at best. This confirms that it is not just a dream but a potential, not just a wish but a goal.
This is a victory for those who believe there is an inherent value to earth unadulterated, and a loss for those who only see the value of a natural resource in terms of dollars and cents. In the end, a successful recovery would mean much to the economy as well.
Kennebec River Info
Thanks for the update. Here's an older site that is full of the background information on the long struggle to get the Kennebec Salmon some recognition and help. Excellent pictures and links to the dam removal story.
Anyone with more recent information would be appreciated if they made the information/links available.
There is an old Greek saying that a civilization is highly developed when its elders plant a tree knowing they will never sit in the shade of that tree. Atlantic Salmon restoration is still a long shot and a tenuous gamble, but I can't think of a better legacy for my son and daughters (unless it would be Eastcoast steelhead runs in the Charles River !! )

Handling an Asthma Flare-Up
What's a Flare-Up?
If you have asthma, you probably know about flare-ups. That's when your asthma symptoms get worse. During a flare-up, you might have:
- trouble breathing
- a tight or painful feeling in the chest
- a whistling sound when you breathe (wheezing)
- a cough
Flare-ups happen because the airways in your lungs have become more irritated and swollen (puffy) than usual. The lungs may make sticky mucus, which clogs the airways. And the muscles around the airways tighten up, making the airways really narrow. These troubles in the lungs make it tough to pull air in and push air out.
You can learn to handle asthma flare-ups. Here are three ways to be prepared:
- Learn how to spot clues that mean you're likely to have a
- Have a plan for how you will deal with a flare-up, no matter where you are (home, school, a friend's house, or on vacation).
- Find out how to prevent future flare-ups by taking your long-term control medicine (also called controller or maintenance medicine) and avoiding triggers.
Spot the Clues
After you've had a few flare-ups, you may notice that you feel a certain way when a flare-up is coming on. You might have a tight chest, an itchy throat, or a tired feeling. Or do you have a cough, even though you don't have a cold? If you have a peak flow meter, this might be a good time to use it.
Have a Plan
Get help if you feel like a flare-up is about to happen. Let people around you know what's going on, and then remember your asthma action plan. That's the written plan created with your doctor that tells you which medicine to take and what to do next. Don't ignore the flare-up or hope it will go away on its own. It won't and you might end up in the emergency room.
Prevent Flare-Ups
Asthma flare-ups can be handled, but it's even better if you can prevent them from happening. One way to do that is to avoid triggers. We're not talking about triggers on guns! Many kids who have asthma also have allergies, so common triggers include things that cause allergies. Some of these are pets, dust mites (little bugs that live in dust), mold, or cockroaches.
Other triggers do not cause allergies, but they simply irritate the airways. These include tobacco smoke, cold air, exercise, and infections, such as colds. If you try to avoid your triggers, you might be able to prevent some asthma flare-ups.
If your doctor prescribed long-term control medicine for you, taking it as directed is another important way to prevent flare-ups. Long-term control medicine needs to be taken regularly, even on days when you feel fine.
Some flare-ups are serious, but others are mild. Flare-ups can happen suddenly, but can also build up over time, especially in kids who aren't taking the asthma medicine they need. You won't be able to stop all flare-ups, so do your best to be prepared for one.

The Henryville Special
Henryville Special
Tied by Gene Holowachuk (Cooperstown NY)
Hook: Mustad 94840, sizes 14-18
Thread: 6/0 or 8/0. Black or color to match body.
Ribbing: Grizzly hackle tied Palmer over the body. Tie full. Barbles should be slighltly less than hook gap.
Body: Olive or green wool yarn or synthetic dubbing, tied thin. Have also used peacock herl. Try to match naturals.
Underwing: Barred lemon wood duck fibers (or dyed mallard), sparse slips. Fibers should just extend very slightly past bend of hook.
Wings: Natural dark grey duck quill sections tied tent style over the body & extending just past the underwing. Cut to shape.
Hackle: Brown or ginger. Wrap two or three turns only.
Notes: Palmered hackle should be wrapped so the hackle barbles point toward the front of the fly. Palmered hackle on top of body should be clipped off before tying in underwing. Use no more than three wraps of brown hackle - it is important not to over-hackle the brown legs in the thorax area. If the grizzly Palmered hackle is of sufficient dry fly quality & tied in full, then it will be a good floating fly. Wings should be flared & separated so the fish below will have a good natural-looking silhouette. To enhance the durability of the wings, coat the wing quill in advance w/ either 'hard as nails' or spray it w/ a fixative such as Tuffilm.
History: (from "Popular FLy Patterns" by Terry Hellekson, 1977, Peregrine Smith, Inc., ISBN 0-87905-066-7): The Henryville Special was originated by Hiram Brobst of Palmertown, PA, to duplicate caddis hatches in the Henryville section of Brodhead Creek. He originally named it the "No-Name" but later Al Ziegler[husband of Eleanor Henry Ziegler of Henryville House] got hold of the fly & renamed it the Henryville Special. As w/ any fly that gets extensive use it has been tied in numerous variations. It has proven to be a deadly fly & some feel that it is the best caddis imitation to have ever been created.

Ernest G. Schwiebert
Regarding the question of Ernest Schwiebert's demise, click on these two links below to see articles which seem to indicate that Ernest is very much alive, well and still very much with us. I would appreciate any definitive information which other members of this forum might have re Ernest Schwiebert since if he is still among the living, I would enjoy communicating directly with him. Thank you.
Henryville Huckleberry
Yes I am an E. Scwiebert fan also. Just reread a couple of hsis short stories from several of his books I have. It was mentioned last month on the forumn that he may have passed away, I tried some research on the net but could not find out if it was true. Would think he would have published something since 2000 though which is when the Yale anglers club banquet was referenced above it. Met him on the Beaverkill 30 years ago he taught me what a red quill was during the Hendrickson hatch period. Made all the difference in the results that day.
Does any one know the true situation on Mr. Schwiebert ?
I don't subscribe to the journal. I just happened across the reference to it.
However, I'm a fan of Mr. Schwiebert and his writings. I should re-read some of his books.
|Mike, are you subscribing to that Journal. I started a subscription last year and have really enjoyed the reading. The only problem is that it only come out twice a year.
Hmmm, reports of Mr. Schwiebert's death may have been greatly exaggerated. Either that or their was an imposter in New Haven:
Yale Anglers' Journal
An Undergraduate Publication
2000 Dinner Press Release
Literary Journal Launched By Yale Freshman Hooks Subscribers From Around the World
Internationally successful Yale Anglers' Journal springs from a note passed between friends - an Ivy dynasty of "Yanglers" is born New Haven, CT, March 1, 2000.
An eclectic group of enthusiastic supporters of angling literature and art are expected to attend the first annual Yale Anglers' Journal dinner which will be held at Yale on April 19th to celebrate the success of this unique undergraduate enterprise and to raise funds to widen and deepen the non-profit Journal's international subscriber base. Author Ernest Schwiebert will be the keynote speaker. Several other authors and artists as well as representatives from the angling press, sporting literature booksellers, and sporting art galleries will also be present to discuss the art and literature of angling.
|Jim, I have to agree. I had heard of Lefty Kreh in the UK before I came to the USA but finally had a chance to see him in action at the NJ flyfishing show a couple of years ago. I have watched many fly casting demonstrations before and since but have never witnessed anything like the consumate skill he posseses. This, combined with his endearing humor, ability to impart knowledge and patience as a communicator put him right at the top! You are indeed fortunate to have enjoyed his personal attention!
If there is one person that exemplifies a flyfishing guru in our current time, it would be Lefty Kreh. I had the pleasure twice this year to spend some quality time with him to address some casting concerns that I had, particularly with sinking lines. He gave me some excellent tips; but more importantly, his wealth of knowledge on flytying, knots and general flyfishing knowledge, puts hime at the top of my list for "my hero."
He's 76, and I don't know how much longer he will be, the still young and energetic person that he is, willing to share his life-long knowledge on our passion.
Beleive Lefty Kreh and Dave Whitlock are two definites for the list.
Not sure of the other 2-3 for a poll.
Gary Borger ?
Eric Leiser ?
Did a quick seach on Amason Books for fly fishing books came up
with 1013 matches. Scan down the authors and you will see lots of names. Most of which I had heard of but I am not sure they could be considered icons like Wulff or Schiebert yet.
...local icon...sorta'
...I've heard about a local Chatham guy who caught alot of fish this year...but what sets him apart from us common mortals is the fact that, in spite of driving rain, winds, Canadian cold fronts, and impending hypothermia, he never once donned "sissy" waders. They call him "Iron Alloy Man"...
I totally agree that Lefty should be right up there.
Trey Combes must also get a vote for his definitive works on blue water flyfishing.
I would add Lou Taboury because it was the cover of his book (Inshore Flyfishing) in a London bookstore that sparked my interest in Saltwater Flyfishing.
In terms of past greats I would have to add Hugh Falkus on both Altlantic Salmon and Sea Trout (sea run browns). Another UK author who's written some very thought provoking ideas on Brown Trout would be John Goddard.
|Dble Haul
I'll have to weigh in with my two choices:
First, Lefty Kreh. He has done so much for the sport that I won't even attempt to itemize his accomplishments. He can catch fish anywhere, and does not just specialize in salt water. In fact, his favorite fish to pursure, if he could only have one, is the smallmouth.
Second, Dave Whitlock. He is an author, artist, master fly tyer, excellent fisherman, teacher, and a great ambassador for the sport. He is another who can catch fish anywhere, fresh or salt. His illustrations in numerous fly fishing publications and books are wonderful, and he has earned many awards for his works in conservation.
Now what was the original topic? Leaders?
Thanks maybe we should have a preliminary poll of who will be
on the poll for the contempory icon fly fisherman ?
I think it would be easy to come up with names for the past icons
Wulff, Schwiebert, Waterman, Haig Brown, etc...
I guess Lefty kreh should be one of the names. Not sure of the others yet
Poll, did someone say poll?
I'll see what I can do...
Thanks for the plug, pmff.
I'll start researching it asap.

Darlo Pedal Picnic This Sunday
Come along to Darlington Cycling Campaign's Pedal Picnic this Sunday! The pedal picnic is an alternative to a "critical mass". The aim is to stimulate discussion on cycling around Darlington using the infrastructure that we have. It is designed for everyday cyclists, and is more a social, rather than a sports, event.
Meet at the Arts Centre, Vane Terrace at 1pm(1300hrs) this Sunday (22nd August).
Bring a bike, some food or food to share and some waterproofs,just in case of inclement weather. The route I have in mind and have already "test" ridden, is to leave the Arts Centre and head to Cockerbeck Park/LNR, using the advisory route(yellow) on the Tees Valley Cycling map, Darlington. On leaving Cockerbeck, we shall cycle around the edge of Branksome until the off-road cycle path is reached. This path is then followed to Westpark where we shall stop and picnic. After the picnic the route follows West Auckland road, on the roadside cyclepath, until the junction of Brinkburn Road. We'll then follow the advisory route back to The Arts Centre via Willow Road, Pierremont Road, Pierremont Crescent, Millbank Road, Cleveland Avenue, Trinity Road and ending back at the Arts Centre.
For those who would like to join a critical mass ride, the nearest event is organised by the soon-to-be-born Newcastle Cycling Campaign on the last Friday of every month.
Edit: A low turnout, but a lovely day. Darlington will always be in the forefront of the "slow town" movement, so these things will take time to develop. Unperturbed, the organisers are meeting on 31 August to plan the next ride. Watch this space!

is a very useful material that has very unique properties.
Mixed with small, chopped carbon fiber strands,
filament offers incredible rigidity, structure, and great interlayer
adhesion. Due to the fact that there´s a very low risk of warping,
is very easy to print with and has
a matt surface when done. The finished prints are very stiff and rigid and are
very useful if you need an object with high stiffness to weight ratio.
PrimaSELECT™Carbon doesn´t require a heated bed, but if you have one, set
it to 35-60˚C to get a really good first layer adhesion.
Due to the abrasive nature of PrimaSELECT™Carbon we recommend that you
use a hardened steel nozzle for this filament. Using a regular brass nozzle
isn´t a problem but it will wear out the nozzle in a short time.

Attacks on the Press: On Syria's Front Lines, Dangers from All Sides
A hard slog with low-life smugglers is a small price for avoiding Syrian forces. By Paul Wood
A hard slog with low-life smugglers is a small price for avoiding Syrian forces. By Paul Wood
New York, April 2, 2012--A prominent Syrian videographer who ran the media center in Baba Amr where two foreign journalists were killed in February has been detained since Wednesday, according to news reports.
Ali Mahmoud Othman was initially held at a military intelligence unit in Aleppo and is believed to have been tortured, Paul Conroy, a photographer for The Sunday Times, said in an interview with the U.K.'s Channel 4. Activists were cited in news reports giving the same information. Conroy and other reports said Othman was transferred to Damascus over the weekend.
Weeks of sporadic protests seeking government reform burst into full-fledged unrest on March 15, 2011, when thousands of demonstrators gathered in four Syrian cities. Within days, authorities had cut off news media access to Daraa, a center of the unrest, beginning a sustained effort to shut down international news coverage of the uprising and the government's increasingly violent crackdown. As the civilian death toll has reached well into the thousands, according to U.N. figures, the last four months have taken a particularly dark turn for the press. Eight local and international journalists have been killed on duty since November, at least five in circumstances that raise questions about government culpability. Yet one year after the Syrian uprising began, killing the messenger has not silenced the message.
New York, March, 1, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the news that two French journalists injured in Homs last week have reached safety in Lebanon. "We are relieved that Edith Bouvier and William Daniels are now safe but are concerned that the Syrian government's assault on Homs has made it impossible to retrieve the bodies of our colleagues Marie Colvin and Rémi Ochlik," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. "We remain deeply concerned for the safety of all Syrian journalists who are risking their lives to report on the unrest across the country."
New York, February 28, 2012--British photographer Paul Conroy, wounded last week during a mortar attack on the central city of Homs, was evacuated on Tuesday, according to his newspaper, The Sunday Times, and news reports.
New York, February 24, 2012--Syrian authorities must heed the call issued by more than 60 countries today to stop the ongoing shelling in Syria, and allow medical access and safe passage to the wounded and dead journalists trapped in Homs, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
New York, February, 24, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists supports efforts by the international community to impose an immediate cease-fire in Syria to allow for the safe delivery of humanitarian aid and a cessation of hostilities. Two journalists injured in Wednesday's Homs attack require urgent medical attention and evacuation. The bodies of two more journalists have also been trapped in Homs since they were killed on Wednesday.
In a video posted to YouTube by a Syrian activist, injured Sunday Times photographer Paul Conroy speaks from Homs with his local doctor, describing his injuries and asking for humanitarian assistance, cessation of the shelling, and safe passage out. In English with some Arabic.
Click here for Edith Bouvier and William Daniels' appeal video.
New York, February 23, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists demands that Syrian authorities allow safe passage for the evacuation of four foreign journalists trapped in the besieged city of Homs, along with the bodies of Marie Colvin and Rémi Ochlik, two journalists killed in intense government shelling on Wednesday.
In this video posted to YouTube by a Syrian activist, injured Le Figaro reporter Edith Bouvier and Sunday Times photographer William Daniels speak from Homs along with the local doctor who has been treating them. They are pleading with the world to make the barrage of rockets stop and to allow Bouvier to get urgent medical care. They speak in Arabic, English, and French.

Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.

"Fungus is a great party band and my solo project is more sober and intimate, so the balance works out great," he told me earlier this week.
Lingo formed his first band while attending Connecticut College years back ("an inspiration between Medeski Martin + Wood and Dispatch," he recalled), and subsequent highlights included opening slots for New Found Glory and the President of the United States of America, as well as a victory at the 2004 WBRU Rock Hunt. The Lingo split in 2005 and Johnny was recruited by Fungus Amungus after a piano residency at the Century Lounge and tapped further into his artistic vision.
"Playing with Fungus has expanded my skills tremendously, but I write a lot of songs that don't really fit their style, so I needed an outlet for my solo material," he said, and promptly hit Danger Studios in mid-2007 to cut the album.
From the brash and playful openers "Step Outside" and "1 in 10" to the lounge lizard blues of "This Man," Shake It Off provides a nice canvas for Lingo to display his charm and skills with various friends lending some help, including violinist Spencer Swain (Zox/Cowgirl) on "1 in 10." A personal favorite is "Guess Again," a stark and emotional detour from the album's overall poppy vibe.
"Not many parents want their kid being a musician and, like most artists, without my personal struggles I would probably have nothing to write about," he said. "You need fuel for the fire, and 'Guess Again' is a metaphor for those who have been doubted or doubt themselves.
"I call myself a 'piano rock' artist, so I wanted the sound and songs to be diverse yet focused around the piano," he said. In contrast to the approach on Shake It Off, Lingo recently downsized to a two-man operation for shows — just keys and drums — but affirmed there will be "plenty going on to keep the listener interested."
Lingo will stay busy on the live circuit in '09, booked for weekly solo sessions through March with the after-work crowd at Tazza as well as channeling his inner ham at McFadden's, all while continuing his duties with Fungus and further promoting Shake It Off. And working a real job or two like the rest of us.
"Over the last eight years I was beating my head working crappy sales jobs, and now I'm teaching piano lessons to kids and feel like my life has more purpose than ever before," he said. "And if my dream of being a rich rock star doesn't work out, then I can always fall back on teaching piano."

Call for public art: Mural depicting the glorious contributions
of the Maine
Seeking designs for a 36-foot-long, 8-foot-tall mural to replace
a degenerate, "one-sided" mural at the Maine Department of Labor office in Augusta. Please e-mail jpgs
to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Submissions are encouraged to honor Maine's grand business
history, from logging to ship building, from the brave executives who put down
the 1937 women's strike to steadfast proponents of child labor, from the paper
mill bosses who purified our waters with dioxins to those who intrepidly called
in the National Guard to restore order in the face of wrong-thinking mobs and
crybabies, and surplus and salvage company CEOs who selflessly offer damaged
goods for retail sale before giving it all up for public service.
Favorite entries will be published in the Portland Phoenix and
online. All submissions will be forwarded to Governor Paul LePage as potential
replacements for the Augusta
office lobby.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), based in Geneva, is responsible for the project known as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC lies in a tunnel 17 miles in circumference and as much as 570 feet beneath the Franco-Swiss border. It is funded by and built in collaboration with more than 10,000 scientists and engineers from more than 100 countries, as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. This is a monumental project of epic proportions, and yet most people are unaware of it. The scientific purpose in lay terms is to measure energy in highly accelerated motion.
Dec. 9, 2009, CERN tested the Super Collider and had results based on accelerating protons to energies of 1.2 trillion electron volts apiece and then crashing them together. At first glance, you may wonder how this would impact your life. Actually, the implications are profound. If the collider gets the results the scientists are looking for, it will rewrite the future in terms of energy production. If it fails, it means the work will go out the window or, perhaps, more appropriately, down the hole.
Recently, CERN scientists announced the discovery of what they are calling "the missing cornerstone of physics." The Higgs boson was the missing particle, and one of the main reasons for the development of the LHC. It was named after professor Dr. Peter Ware Higgs, a British theoretical physicist, who in 1964 predicted the existence of the particle.
In tests conducted in July, the scientists of CERN have apparently successfully found this theoretical subatomic particle that has been unofficially named the "God particle." Since Dr. Higgs first proposed his theory, 11 of the 12 proposed particles have been found, but the Higgs boson particle continued to provide a challenge to scientists. Understanding it is essential to understanding the composition of the universe. It is regarded as a key to understanding why matter has mass. Dr. Higgs' theory claimed that the missing particle allows all particles to combine with gravity to give objects weight. Mass is absolutely essential for the universe, as we know it, to exist.
The results are not 100% conclusive. Rolf Heuer, director of CERN, told the elated crowd, "As a layman, I think we did it. We have a discovery. We have observed a new particle that is consistent with a Higgs boson."
The term, "God particle," was initiated by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Dr. Leon Lederman. Understanding what happened in lay terms is the following. Particles in the universe theoretically should have no mass. The results of the super collider in demonstrating the existence of the boson is of major importance. The full understanding of this particle could provide the basis for new thought and information that can result in today's conventional wisdom disintegrating under analysis. It could possibly lead to harmonious theories embracing the core philosophies of all religions, as well as scientific theory.
It does not solve the religion vs. science dilemma, because scientists can use the data to prove that life arose spontaneously in the universe. The religious can use the data to claim that when the Supreme Being created the universe, the elements and potential for life were implanted in it. What might be most interesting is the mutual acceptance of its existence and what, ultimately, will result from the discovery.
CERN and collaborators point to the discovery as being so fundamental to the laws of nature that it could spawn a new era of technology and development in the same way that Newton's laws of gravity led to basic equations of mechanics that provided the basis for the industrial revolution. The potential harmony between core religious thought and science is awesome to consider; add the economic and scientific potential and it is understandable why this discovery is getting so much attention. It is an extraordinary breakthrough.

About the Practice
Practice Philosophy
During his years of practice, Dr. Fata has maintained a core philosophy regarding the treatment of his patients:
"I believe that I have a responsibility to do everything I can to ensure that you achieve exactly the result you want, whether you are considering breast augmentation or any other cosmetic surgery. My responsibility begins with the initial consultation and continues to the end of the recovery process. And further: once you have obtained the results you want from cosmetic surgery, we have only just begun our plastic surgeon / patient relationship, and I will always be available to help you in any way that I can."
Dr. Fata's practice encompasses the full spectrum of cosmetic plastic surgery and he has performed thousands of procedures. He has a special interest in breast augmentation and was one of the first plastic surgeons in Indiana to provide a "24 Hour Rapid Recovery Program" for breast augmentation that has allowed women to return to most normal activities the day after surgery. He has since expanded this program to include other cosmetic surgery procedures with no down time, such as the "Ribbon Lift", a variation of the "Weekend Facelift".
Practice Specialization
Dr. Fata performs a wide range of cosmetic surgery procedures in his Indianapolis office and his surgery center in nearby Carmel, Indiana, including breast augmentation (breast enlargement), breast lift, and breast reduction, and he uses both silicone gel breast implants and saline breast implants. He also performs liposuction, tummy tuck (or Abdominoplasty), cosmetic eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty (surgery of the nose), and facelifts.

EC-Council ECE System
As a member of the EC-Council Scheme Committee, I'm looking for input from those that have earned any of the EC-Council certifications that require ECE credits to maintain (ENSA, CEH, CHFI, ECSA, LPT, ECVP, ECSP, CNDA, ECDR).
What are your feelings on the system? Is it fair? Are there enough ways to earn credits to maintain your certification(s)?
I am open to any and all suggestions, comments, criticism and anything else you may want to address on the subject. If it's something I can answer, I'll try my best to do so and if there are strong feelings about certain topics I will take them back to the other committee members so that we may address the concerns.
I know this subject has been discussed here in the past. Now that the ECE system has been around for a while, I'd like to get everyone's thoughts on it so that we can make it better.
Thanks for your help.

It looks like they glued leftover pieces of wrapping paper to the walls.

Someone needs to trim that black and white curtain. It looks awkward!
You can buy that "sexy shoe" chair at any sex shop. Couldn't they have gotten some kind of fancy, custom one made by like, Betsey Johnson or someone?
Snooki's is on the left, JWoww's is on the right. Phone alcove and closet in the middle. Ugh, that red cloth is killing me.
Even the font looks cheap! Did I mention it's in a former fire house? The Real World Philly firehouse puts this hovel to shame. There's not even a pole to slide down. Come on!
Again, with the poorly done wallpaper. And the wood paneling makes me want to cry.
Seriously, someone should tell Snooki how much money she makes.
The only thing sadder than a poorly done leopard print room is a poorly half done leopard print room.
I can't even look at it.
Even the bathroom looks cheap!
Okay, the pressed tin ceilings are nice.
I think I saw those chairs at Ikea. They are meant for the outdoors.
This font might be suitable for a cheer captain at one of the lesser high schools. Might.
These "Scarface" style portraits might be the only cool furnishing in the apartment.
Seriously, MTV, there's a difference between being cheap and being tacky. And Snooki and JWoww deserve a resplendently tacky apartment.

Good as he is, he didn't make it into the finals. One Golden did, but did not survive the finals.
I can say this, the handlers have to be pretty fit to compete in this sport!

Prior to the ubiquity of the internet, most people were limited in the number of ways they could express their ideas, and the type of audience they could reach. The average person might have exchanged letters, postcards and telephone calls with other individuals. They may have written letters to newspapers and sounded off to their coworkers, or friends at the bar. Many families will be familiar with the tyrannical figure who shouted their opinions at the TV – seemingly oblivious that they were trying to engage with a plastic box. Lucky and opinionated residents of London were free (and still are) to make their way to Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, where they could rant and rage about anything from Feminist Anarchist Veganism to the exploitation of bees for their wax and honey.
These days it's possible for everyone to say what's on their mind and to also have an audience which is keen to listen and engage with them. It started off with blogging – people would write down their thoughts and post them on a website periodically for others to read and reply to. Of course, expecting people to read in developed Western countries is quite unrealistic in the modern age, and often considered tantamount to abuse. As a result, video blogging on sites like YouTube began to become incredibly popular. Vloggers provided content that was easily accessible and required a minimum amount of effort to be absorbed. Regular bloggers winced with anguish as they saw their audience disappear overnight to watch videos of people talking about other videos and schoolgirls trying on makeup and costumes in their bedrooms.
The problem, however, with video blogs is that they still require a tiny amount of effort on the part of the audience. They are forced to sit in front of a screen for minutes at a time, unable to get away to grab a soda from the fridge, 'like' and 'lol' their friends' Facebook pages and check whether their lemon chicken and egg rolls or four-cheese meat lovers' pizza has arrived yet.
That's where the success of the podcast lies – the listener is free to pay as little attention as they want, safe in the knowledge that their entertainment – or, more commonly, infotainment – will carry on regardless of whatever else they are doing. Thus you see people boarding trains while listening to podcasts, driving to work, actually pretending to work, in the gym, at school, flying a plane and pretty much anywhere you can think of, listening to podcasts.
What that means for you and me, is that we no longer have to find ourselves being ignored, or suffering the humiliation of having our arguments comprehensively dismantled as soon as we have made them. We can now sit in our bedrooms and set the world to rights, safe in the knowledge that the only people who will hear us already have a sympathetic ear to what we want to say.
Starting up your own podcast isn't difficult. At the most basic level, you can talk into your phone or Skype and just record what you are saying. Of course, that might work for people who consciously want to be seen to make as little effort as possible, but for audiences who care about what they listen to, you'd better do your research on microphones from somewhere like this site, and choose which one best matches your needs. If you are going to be doing studio-style presenting and interviewing, a shotgun mic is probably the way to go. To record into your computer, you'll need an audio interface and some audio editing software. Once you are happy with your audio content, clip it, switch it around, add effects, music and so on until you are happy with your first podcast.
Your podcast isn't actually a podcast until it's available to be streamed or downloaded (or broadcast live) on the internet. Broadcasting live without an established audience is kind of like shouting out to anyone who might be listening, while you're stranded alone on a tiny boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 1670 miles from Ducie Island. Launching your podcast like a traditional blog, and supporting it with social media marketing and forum participation is the way to find new listeners.

Horses aren't eaten mainly due to the emotional attachment people have to horses, as mentioned earlier they are considered like our dogs. I personally have ate horse on several occasions and find it rather good. If you didn't know it was horse you would never guess it.
I Had kangaroo once. Not bad, though it did make me a little jumpy.

I heard someone on the news talking about most horses not being raised "for consumption", something about injection s and meds used on them that can effect people somehow. I have my doubts to that being valid but I have no idea for sure.

Stocks were broadly lower on Friday afternoon, as investor paused after another session of record highs Thursday and disappointing earnings from tech giants.
At recent check, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.2%, the S&P 500 was slipping 0.1%, and the Nasdaq was falling hardest, down 0.9%.
Although stocks started the day on a downbeat but flattish note, earnings misses from Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG) were weighing on investors' minds, overshadowing better-than-expected quarters from General Electric (GE) and Schlumberger (SLB), which also announced a $10 billion share repurchase plan.
There was also no new economic data to counteract the tech disappointments.

A friend in town warned me that women on the Mississippi Gulf Coast never wear blue jeans, but instead dress for informal occasions in something called "coast casual." So I've been ransacking my mind for clothes.
My niece Chelsey once observed that my closet looks like it belongs to Johnny Cash, it's so full of blue denim and black. If jeans can't be a staple, I'm Eve in the Garden before the fall.
Used to, a visit to the coast meant you pulled on cutoffs over your swimsuit and shed the former as quickly as you got to the beach. A T-shirt was optional, worn only if you had banking or other business to conduct before sunning.
Somehow I'm thinking that's not what my friend meant by "coast casual."
I briefly lived on a swell Georgia island when I was young, and my favorite thing about it was the universal casual attire. Men never wore neckties, and the women wore sandals and no pantyhose. Everyone's clothes looked well-used.
But an island has its own set of sartorial rules that don't apply on any mainland. St. Simons Island's brand of casual might not work here.
When you write for a living, you don't need a lot of clothes. I wear jeans and a T-shirt most of the time. I have a couple of black dresses for speeches, funerals or other sad occasions.
Not to brag, but I have lots of nice T-shirts. People are always giving them to me. My favorite is a winter T-shirt with long sleeves that says " Piggly Wiggly" on one side and "What happens at the Pig, stays at the Pig" on the other. My Paris friend Marie-Lu had a fit for one, and I mailed it. Haute couture.
I have more T-shirts than I'll ever wear out, but I never can resist them. Cause T-shirts, for instance, are important.
Ever since people started paying so much for their cars, bumper stickers have become a thing of the past. Nobody wants that sticky stuff on the back bumper of his precious Lexus.
Now it is T-shirts that reveal our politics, our religion, our sexuality. All of those things our mothers told us not to talk about, we now wear proudly on our bodies like sandwich boards.
"Rednecks for Obama" is my all-time favorite political shirt. I also have an old Jesse Jackson shirt from the 1988 convention, a couple touting Clinton-Gore, a "Jimmy Buffett for President" and "Free Willie" (after Willie Nelson was arrested on marijuana charges in Louisiana).
As soon as my friend shared the "coast casual" edict, I became self-conscious about my favorite things. Are flip-flops " coast casual" or only for beach-bound ex-hippies? Can you wear jeans to the grocery store, or must you put on a pair of Capri pants? Are T-shirts even allowed?
At the height of singer Linda Ronstadt's popularity, she gave an interview to a news magazine. In it, she said she hoped never to have to wear "grownup clothes." The accompanying photograph showed Linda in cutoffs and a white baby-doll smock, big, golden hoop earrings dangling beneath long hair and on her feet, no shoes. In those bare feet, she was walking the beach looking like a million dollars.
That's my idea of the ultimate "coast casual." If it doesn't work, I may have to move.

Chemical Sciences, Geosciences, & Biosciences (CSGB) Division
Condensed Phase and Interfacial Molecular Science (CPIMS) research emphasizes molecular understanding of chemical, physical, and electron-driven processes in aqueous media and at interfaces. Studies of reaction dynamics at well-characterized metal and metal-oxide surfaces and clusters lead to the development of theories on the molecular origins of surface-mediated catalysis and heterogeneous chemistry. Studies of model condensed-phase systems target first-principles understandings of molecular reactivity and dynamical processes in solution and at interfaces. The approach confronts the transition from molecular-scale chemistry to collective phenomena in complex systems, such as the effects of solvation on chemical structure and reactivity.
The CPIMS program is unique is its relevance to DOE mission areas, providing a fundamental basis for understanding chemical reactivity in complex systems, such as those encountered in catalysis, energy storage, separations, and the environmental contaminant transport in mineral and aqueous environments. This program is a major supporter of basic research on chemical reactivity of molecular species in the liquid phase, on metal clusters, and at solid-gas and solid-liquid interfaces. Fundamental studies of reactive processes driven by radiolysis in condensed phases and at interfaces provide improved understanding of radiolysis effects and radiation-driven chemistry in nuclear fuel and waste environments.

Family: Alcidae, Auks, Murres, Puffins view all from this family
Description ADULT SUMMER Has mainly sooty black plumage with striking white patch on wing. ADULT WINTER Has white underparts and mainly white neck with dark streaks down nape. Crown is dark-streaked and has dark-centered gray back feathers and black flight feathers; retains white wing patch. JUVENILE Similar to winter adult, but with more dark streaking on face, neck, and underparts.
Dimensions Length: 13" (33 cm)
Habitat Locally common year-round on rocky coasts in Canada and Greenland; nests under boulders and in rock crevices. Usually feeds in inshore waters at all times.
Observation Tips Common on suitable coasts, but mainly Arctic breeding range renders many areas inaccessible. Usually fairly easy to see on coasts of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia; sometimes visits harbors.
Range New England, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska
Voice Utters high-pitched whistles when in breeding colonies.
Discussion Rather plump-bodied seabird. Strikingly pied plumage is contrastingly different in summer and winter. Swims well, dives frequently, and flies low over water on rounded wings with whirring wingbeats. All birds have white underwings, red legs, and red inside of mouth (obvious when bird is calling). Sexes are similar.

Sure seems like you're taking a cheap shot at Catholics there, Lonnie! If I'm wrong then my apologizes, if not then why don't you explain. I mean since I am Catholic and really interested in your point. I'm not sure if dogs get to go to heaven but I hope that they do. I would really like to see my old dog Lady again. If dogs really do get to go to heaven will there really be flyers and birds for retrievers????? Sounds like hell for the birds!! Just wondering.
Remember, they can't go unless they have been Baptized. And, did they have any mortal sins or did they go to Confession prior to passing? If not, they may be on their way to Hades.

Dogs are in heaven, and I am about as theologically conservative as you can get. People are fallen, animals are not. Jesus died to save people because theynwere the only ones needing saving because they have fallen.Will my dog be in heaven, I say most likely. When you talk about heaven you have to mention the new earth where all of creation is cleaned up and perfected. There will be dogs, dog trainers, get togethers to work our dogs, but no e-collars... .
