Monomoy Sunday report
Chuck, Rich and I got to North Monomoy around 11am and fished until 2ish. Some terns working here and there but no signs of fish we waded the flats a bit. The water was very cold and a fog was starting to come in because of a sudden temperature change so we went for the Crib area. Called Mike Powers who was in a kayak to alert him of the possible fog situation, he was coming up the west side of South Monomoy when we and had not gotten anything. We met up with Terry and could see the Esteys out on the west side of the island. The current flow at what I believe to be the Crib incredible, kinda unfishable as the wind was in line with the current flow. The four of us fished our way back on the east side on our way to the pick up point. No luck. we discussed hitting south island and decided against it, lack of sleep had finally caught up with us. Gotta go to work now..... It was a fantastic experience.
RE:Monomoy Sunday report
Terry, Mike and I got to Monomoy at about 10:45 and headed over to the flats. Terry and I worked the flats for a bit while Mike headed south. Being dead at the flats, Terry and I headed south to meet up with Mike, Jim and the rest. Mike and I fished the dropping tide until we were within casting distance of South Island. We saw the other guys head back but decided to tough it out - besides we were seeing unbelieveable numbers of sand eels being pushed by the current and the occasional really big bass. Despite all the bait Mike was only able to pick up one and I was working on the skunk. With two hours left to the pick up we decided to work the channel back up the island where I was able to pick up a few schoolies. All in all it was a pretty good day though Saturday on South Beach was much better.
Tight Lines,
RE:Monomoy Sunday report
Hi All,
Casting clinic, food, Monomoy, and fishing buddies. It doesn't get any better, especially when the weather holds
for most of the event. Thanks to all and thanks for making Diane feel comfortable (although we exhausted her completely, physically, ha !)
A nod to the new Pope too.....
RE:Monomoy Sunday report
Correction to my previous post:
It was not the Crib that we fished on the way out it was just the south east corner of the island, but the current was fierce.
I talked to Mike Powers on the way home (3ish) he was still out there and had gotten one. Thanks to Juro and John for the casting clinic, although it may not have been apparent at the time I know the advice is really going help me improve my cast. Meatballs, catapults and tunnels of light right. That reminds me, Thank you Jay and Diane for the meal on Friday, it was great.
RE:Monomoy Sunday report
Got to the Rip Ryder launch point at about 6:45 AM. Met a pair of sleep deprived guys doing the "walk of the living dead", Brian Zinck and Eric Roach, who were there for the 6:00 AM shuttle. I advised them that uncertain weather had altered the plans for the early shuttle. We grabbed the 8:00 AM shuttle to North Monomony. While hanging on the causeway I decided to change lines and created a monster rats nest (don't ask). Anyhow, at the drop-off point I told Brian and Rick to go on and I'd probably catch up with them later and proceeded to unravel the mess I'd made. Just as I was finishing with my rigging another shuttle dropped off a lone flyguy. The guys name was/is Gary, very bouyant and obviously glad to be there. We chatted on our way to the west side and when I told him this was my first time out there he offered let me tag along. He advised that he liked to keep moving and was passionate about sight fishing. My incompetence with the line change led to a chance meeting and hookup with someone very knowlegeble with the place and how to fish it.
We waded out in a direction towards Hardings Beach, I guess. With the outgoing Gary advised that the fish would tend to be moving left to right. Not long after starting out fish were breaking in front of us, just out of casting range. I then saw a change in the look of the water (counter current movement?) but couldn't decide what it was until a pod of about 20 fish were 15 feet in front of me. At that range I couldn't do anything about it so I froze and advised Gary. He nonchalantly cast and hooked up immediately. I then cast and started stripping, then as I started to pickup for another cast a couple of fish start chasing my fly - and what do I do, I play keepaway. Oh well. Over the next ten minutes we sight a couple of smaller groups of larger fish and Gary gets a fish from each group. One was in the 26 to 30" range and had Gary into backing. We continued moving out but things pretty much died. This was about two hours into the dropping tide. Gary advised that prime time on that flat was throughout the incoming and the early part of the drop. We moved back towards shore looking for stragglers. I didn't get any fish but had a great time, learned how to fish a small piece of the place and had the pleasure of enthusiastic company. I will be back soon.
Fred A.
RE:Monomoy Sunday report
Fred -
Glad you had a fun adventure despite our loss of continuity on Sunday. Sounds like you were fishing the northwest side of NM, perhaps past the humps to the upper Common flats?
Brian and Rick -
My humble apologies for the last minute change in plans, with even less sleep than you two probably had shared between the entire group we were oblivious to all schedules and plans. Hope you had a good outing anyway.
I hope to visit again before the flats warm up too much and the fish get dour, please contact me for a mini-clave if you are interested in a smaller make-up excursion.
RE:Monomoy Sunday report
Juro and all:
First, thanks for a great chance to put faces to the names I see here on the board. I had a great time with everyone and hope to meet the rest of you in following claves.
Secondly, as I mentioned at the camp on Saturday afternoon, I am planning a Monomoy reunion for a one day trip sometime in late June. I am looking at Friday, June 30th as a tentative date. My thinking is that by sticking to a weekday, we will encounter far fewer fisherpeople. I am not looking to do anything out of the ordinary for shuttle arrangements other than get on an 8am shuttle with either Keith or the Outermost harbor. Hopefully, the temps will have warmed up on N. Monomoy waters slightly to get the fish
more active..........so, if anyone is interested, let me know. I will try to pin down a definite date by the end of this week and then post a thread.
Thanks again to Juro and the rest of you for a great time !!

Streicker Bridge Fact Sheet
Posted September 2, 2010; 12:00 p.m.
• Project description: Streicker Bridge spans Washington Road, connecting the athletics and science buildings on the east side of campus with new and existing buildings and facilities on the west side, completing a missing link in the pedestrian route along the southern edge of campus.
• Location: Washington Road between Faculty Road and Ivy Lane, south of Jadwin Hall.
• Timeline:
--Construction began -- fall 2008.
--Construction completed -- spring 2010.
--Bridge opened -- summer 2010.
• Engineer selection: Christian Menn of Switzerland in collaboration with engineering firm HNTB, New York, April 2005.
• Engineering: The design is known as a "deck-stiffened arch"; a pair of post-tensioned cast-in-place arched walking surfaces join to form an "x," and are supported by a third, weathering steel arch.
• Project configuration: The structural span extends approximately 350 feet across Washington Road. Ten-foot-wide walking surfaces merge at the center of the span. The four legs of the "x" lead to science facilities: the Icahn Laboratory -- home of the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics -- and the future site of a planned psychology and neuroscience complex on the west side; and curving into graceful arcs at a pedestrian plaza between the new Frick Chemistry Laboratory and the Jadwin Hall physics building to the east. The bridge spans service access roads and lands on the west side over a tunnel that will connect Icahn and psychology/neuroscience when that building is completed. The span also connects athletic facilities, including Poe and Pardee Fields and Roberts Stadium on the west side with Jadwin Gymnasium and Princeton Stadium on the east side.
• Dimensions: The walking surface rises to approximately 24 feet above the road at its highest point. Minimum clearance to structural elements over the road is 17 feet, 6 inches.
• Building materials: The walking surface is formed of cast-in-place concrete with embedded steel reinforcing and post-tensioning cables, supported by a weathering steel arch. Railings are composed of stainless steel posts and trim carrying stainless steel mesh guards.
• Landscaping highlights: The arches of the bridge extend through the forested, naturalistic woodland of the adjacent stream valley. On the west side of Washington Road, the ellipse walk will lead to a pedestrian court and garden fronting Poe Field and the entry to the bridge.
• Data collection: The bridge is outfitted with some 100 point sensors, together capable of taking about 25,000 measurements per second. Also running through the concrete is a 122-foot, cable-like sensor that takes measurements at 800 additional points. The sensors measure temperature, strain and vibration in the concrete. The data allow engineers to compare the actual performance of the bridge with computer simulations of how it is supposed to behave.
• Project team: HNTB, executive engineer; Christian Menn, design engineer; Turner Construction Co., construction manager; Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, landscape architecture; and Van Note Harvey, civil engineering.
• Named for: The project was funded by a gift from real estate executive John Harrison Streicker, a member of Princeton's class of 1964.
• More information available online:
--Sept. 2, 2010: Elements of new Frick lab join to create 'best infrastructure' for chemistry
--Aug. 10, 2010: Chemistry lab carries Frick name; move-in begins
--April 29, 2010: Connecting art and engineering in Streicker Bridge critique
--Feb. 25, 2010: New Chemistry Building reflects its environment
--Dec 7, 2006: Alumnus funds pedestrian bridge to link two sides of campus
--Aug. 3, 2006: Plans moving ahead for science neighborhood
--April 27, 2005: Graceful arches connect in concept for pedestrian bridge

Japanese Kickboxing Scene: October Preview
- Written by Dave Walsh
With both K-1 and GLORY holding events this month, October is looking to be one of the best months for kickfighting fans this year. The outlook for the Japanese scene is quite similar as Krush, RISE and MA Kick are all showcasing some of their top fighters in competitive fights, with Krush and RISE continuing to bring in foreign competition. This article will take a look at the coming month in
October 5th – J-Network: Next J-Generation 5
Headliner: Akihiro Kuroda vs Shingen Endo for Kuroda's J-Network Lightweight Title
Akihiro Kuroda is possibly the most visible "unknown" fighter in
October 7th – MA Kick: Break-30
Headliner: Yosuke Morii vs Hiroki Akimoto for Morii's WBC Japan Featherweight Title
This headliner, along with Yuki vs Javier Hernandez and Henri van Opstal vs Yuichiro Nagashima, is the biggest fight of the month. The 24 year old champ Morii and the 20 year old Akimoto battle for divisional supremacy (with Genji Umeno primarily fighting in K-1 and
Headliner: Danilo Zanolini vs Ren Takeno for Zanolini's HEAT Middleweight Title
Zanolini won the HEAT title back in 2010 and has defended it twice, most recently against K-1 veteran Su Hwan Lee. Zanolini is 1-1 this year with the loss to Hiroki Nakajima and the win over Soichiro Miyakoshi. Takeno won the DEEP*KICK 70kg tournament. Also on this card is a heavyweight clash between longtime K-1 fighter Peter Graham and one-time K-1 fighter Prince Ali.
October 8th – Krush.23
Headliner: Hirotaka Urabe vs Xavier Bastard/Yasuhiro Kido vs Ludovic Millet
Krush brings in the foreign competition once again, this time with a pair of Frenchmen. Urabe was originally set to face Hamza Soessi, but he was replaced by Moustafa Rousso, who himself was replaced just yesterday by Bastard. The event is only a week away, so hopefully Urabe's opponent doesn't change again. This card will also feature the final leg of the -63kg Krush WILDRUSH League as well as a triplet of 60kg fights that could help determine Hirotaka Urabe's next challenger, pitting Naoki Ishikawa against Sho Senchaigym, the returning Yuji Takeuchi against Fumiya Osawa and Kan Itabashi against Katsuya Goto.
October 14th – NJKF: Kick to the Future 7
Headliner: Heihachi Nakajima vs Ayumu Sasara for Nakajima's NJKF Featherweight Title
Nakajima is coming off of a pair of losses, though those losses came to Rajadamnern Stadium champ Kaimookdam Aikbangzai and WBC Japan champ Yosuke Morii. Sasara has won 3 in a row, including his most recent fight against Takuma in the NEW JAPAN WARS 2012 Featherweight final.
SNKA: Magnum 30
Headliner: Tsukuru Midorikawa vs Hayato Otsuka for Midorikawa's SNKA Welterweight Title
Midorikawa has lost two in a row coming into this fight while Otsuka just had a 6-fight winstreak snapped. However, the focus of this card is prospect Rui Ebata who looks to stay undefeated in his pro career after a draw in his latest SNKA title defense.
October 21st – Krush-EX 2012 vol.5
Headliner: Yutaro Yamauchi vs KEN
This event is the Krush return of 70kg tournament finalist Yutaro Yamauchi who has only fought once since losing to Kenta in the tourney finals, losing his WBC Japan Super Welterweight title to Soichiro Miyakoshi. Also featured on this card are Keiji Ozaki and Namito Izawa.
October 25th – RISE 90
Headliner: Yuki vs Javier Hernandez
Rivaling MA Kick's BREAK-30 as the biggest Japanese event of the month, RISE 90 features 2 title fights and 2 #1 contender fights, as well as the headlining bout of Yuki vs Javier Hernandez. In a heavyweight title fight, Kengo Shimizu rematches Raoumaru. In the finals of the Featherweight tournament, Ryo Pegasus takes on Ittao. In a 63kg #1 contender fight, Son Hyun Lee takes on Hiroshi Mizumachi. Finally, in a 65kg #1 contender fight, Yasuomi Soda takes on Yukihiro Komiya. RISE regulars Yuto Watanabe and Dyki take on outside opposition, facing Yuji Sugawara and Takashi Ohno respectively.
October 28th – REBELS.13
Headliner: Henri van Opstal vs Yuichiro Nagashima
The event that closes the month for the Japanese scene will take place in two parts, as most recent REBELS events have due to It's Showtime Japan, with a new series, REBELS Muay Thai 1, being held first and REBELS.13 afterwards. The Muay Thai portion of the card features 3 WPMF Japan title fights. First, Welterweight champion T-98 looks for his first defense against Hideya Tanaka. Super Featherweight champ SHIGERU attempts to retain his title against Tomoaki Suehiro. And at Middleweight, Super Welterweight champ Takayuki Weerasakreck and #1 ranked Kenichi Iritsuki battle for the vacant title. The latter portion of the event is headlined by a 70kg fight between Henri van Opstal and Yuichiro Nagashima, while MA Kick champion Mohan Dragon faces Zen Fujita at 65kg and Toshio Matsumoto takes on Hidekazu Kimura at 85kg.

Truth decay
Baseball players steal bases, basketball players steal basketballs, and that's all acceptable behavior within the confines of the game. Football players, however, have a disturbing tendency to steal cars, and that is — generally speaking — not acceptable behavior.
While it would be hard to call it a trend, exactly, there's a little something afoot with NFL players and car theft. It seems as if once every few years or so, an NFL player will be driving along, minding his own business, only to be pulled over in some static backwater town by bored, overweight cops who, through genius detective work, subsequently discover that their angry, over-muscled suspect is driving a stolen auto.
Usually, after many hours of communing with expensive city lawyers and sifting through piles of confusing out-of-state fugitive warrants, the cops end up dropping the charges, issuing citations for speeding and verbal resisting, and letting their out-of-town guests walk, after the visitor has forked over a small fine and an autographed football.
It doesn't always happen that way, though. For players like Bam Morris, Tamarick Vanover, and Mark Ingram, stolen-car beefs resulted in real charges and big-time scandals. (Ingram's deal was the most interesting. The ex-Giant was caught in 2001 in a Ford Expedition ripped off from a Budget Rent-a-Car lot; when he was busted he had more than three grand in counterfeit bills on him — and one of Lawrence Taylor's checkbooks in his car. It took police a while to sort that one out).
Others, such as then–Atlanta Falcon cornerback Juran Bolden (who apparently bought a stolen car illegally) got off somewhat more easily. Overall, there have been about a half-dozen stolen-car situations involving NFL players in just the past decade or so.
Now we have our latest such case, this one involving a little-known Oakland Raiders defensive end named Bryant McNeal. McNeal was pulled over by cops in tiny Chapin, South Carolina, this past week, and, at first, was chippy with arresting officers, teasing them for the lameness of their speed trap. "You're always trying to get people right there at 35 miles per hour, man," he said, after being stopped for the standard broken-headlight offense. "You're trying to stay awake. You're a real hero." Cops shrugged but then booked McNeal after they saw that his license had been suspended. They then dug more deeply and found that there was a warrant out for his arrest in Florida, for selling a Land Rover to a pawnbroker for $15,000 when he didn't really own it.
Police also found a charge for writing a fraudulent check to a dentist, which begs the question: doesn't this guy have full medical? In either case, I'm giving this guy a flat 50 on the crime scale. Cheating a dentist just isn't right.
McNeal was a star at Clemson — that's worth pointing out because we've had a hell of a lot of South Carolinian arrests of late. Which brings us to . . .
Troubled waters
The San Diego Chargers, when not whining about their playoff losses, have lately been in the habit of racking up criminal charges like yellow flags — so much so that they're in danger of becoming Cincinnati West. Their latest foible came this past weekend when Anthony Waters, a standout linebacker they drafted out of Clemson (in South Carolina!) this past year, got run up on assault charges in a bizarre incident involving an amateur baseball player named Colby Sarvis.

Now retired from the high-powered Miami scene to the sleepy fishing town of Bass Creek, Tobin only represents people who he believes are innocent. When he is asked to represent a suspected serial killer on death row, Tobin, at first, is hesitant. After reviewing the criminal investigation, however, he becomes convinced that the man was set up and decides to take the case. That decision not only pits Tobin against the powerful elite of Apache County, its citizens, and the woman he loves, it also takes him down a road of self-searching and despair, and ultimately, into the courtroom where he must fight for his life in a battle that neither he nor any other lawyer has ever waged.

Nice!!! Unfortunatly I don't collect the exclusives from MR. This one almost makes me want to go for it though.
May the force be with you.
WOAHHHHH GOOD FIND!!! thanks for posting this up or i would have never known! The ROTS Anakin saber is one of my fave designs, so im going to preorder this thing right now! Thank u monstermile
The description says a production size of 4000 units worldwide. Do you know if MR usually sticks to their stated production sizes or would they expand it later on if it is a hot seller (which im sure it will be) ?
Because I heard the same thing about the Sidious Best Buy exclusive, that it was only 3000 units or something, but come on its been on sale at BestBuy.com forever now, im sure they sold way more than 3000!
What do you all think?

It's April, supposedly the cruelest month, but after a winter that seemed like 150 days of March, how bad can it be? After all, April means spring, Daylight-Saving Time, and warmer temperatures. That's not so cruel. And April is when the umpire yells, "Play Ball" — in some cases with Major League Baseball's steroid investigators. still, it's nice to think about heading back to the ballpark.
Of course, April is also tax time, when all but a microscopic slice of society too wealthy to be bothered with such piddling matters ante up so that George W. Bush can pay the vig on his five-year hocking of America. So fork it over lest Uncle Scam be left unable to enrich his cronies and perpetuate the wholesale massacre of the Iraqi people, and while he's in the neighborhood, maybe the Iranians, too. Speak out in protest, and you may quickly learn that it's also latter-day Scoundrel Time, the label Lillian Hellman pasted on another era when fascistic character assassins operated unchallenged by those who knew better.
Anyway, it's time for a bit of spring cleaning — time to round up the national experience and put the embarrassing low points of First Quarter 2006 neatly on the curb for pickup and disposal into the dustbin of history. Pray that we do not recycle.
Blasted republicans In his State of the Union address, in January, George W. Bush told us, "Abroad, our nation is committed to an historic, long-term goal — we seek the end of tyranny in our world." Which is kind of like the producers of American Idol calling for the restoration of dignity in the performing arts. The event marked the first official public appearance of Justice Joseph Alito, who had just been confirmed to the Supreme Court. Alito looked understandably woozy after a meteoric two-generation ascension from struggling immigrant to robed enemy of the working class. A few weeks later, the man Alito looks to as his "unitary executive" (your one-stop fop for all your authoritarian needs!) attended Coretta Scott King's funeral. Republicans and several media wags (but I repeat myself) were shocked, shocked!, that speakers used the occasion to nonviolently point out how much the prez and his administration suck. For his part, Bush got through the solemn affair by graciously smirking whenever the orators indicted his policies.
This winter, Dick Cheney starred in the modern fable, "The Emperor's New Fluorescent Orange Clothes." Cheney is that most deadly of predators in any forest or field: the well-armed fat cat.
Having learned to hunt by murdering fowl Pavlovian-ly conditioned to associate shotgun blasts with the distribution of corn pellets, these titans of government and business haven't the patience to do things like wait until a bird distinguishes itself from a human — by, say, flying — before pulling the trigger. Had our vice-president followed this simple rule, he'd never have shot one of his Texas hunting companions because, well, pigs don't fly.

Story highlights
- Emporis Skyscraper Award given to buildings completed in the last 12 months that are higher than 100 meters
- This year no North American buildings are acclaimed, despite winning in previous two years
- Panel of architecture experts award rankings according to aesthetic and functional design criteria
London's The Shard has taken top honors in the annual Skyscraper Award from Hamburg-based building and construction data company Emporis.
The awards, announced annually since 2000, are chosen by an "international jury of architecture experts" who select nominated buildings completed in the last year and are at least 100 meters tall, according to "aesthetic and functional design criteria," an Emporis spokesperson said in a statement.
"Construction of The Shard was complicated by the particularly tight site and therefore needed innovative planning," said Emporis.
"This makes the result all the more impressive: a skyscraper that is recognized immediately and which is already considered London's new emblem."
DC Tower 1 in Vienna, Austria, designed by Dominique Perrault Architecture, took second place.
It was lauded for "the contrasting way in which its facade is treated: three mirror-smooth sides are broken by a craggy, jagged fourth that gives the building a strength of expression and sense of solidity, despite its slim stature."
Third place went to the Sheraton Huzhou Hot Spring Resort, on Lake Tai near Shanghai, China.
"Its daring design is further accentuated by its illumination at night, which creates imposing reflections of the building in the lake," said Emporis.
That hotel became known as "The Donut" after being featured in several media reports at the time of its completion.
No North American buildings made the top 10 this year, while five European buildings were celebrated, the most since 2008.

Report: Apple's Steve Jobs Received Liver Transplant and is Recovering
Jason Mick
June 20, 2009 11:45 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple observers noticed that CEO Steve Jobs' health dramatically decreased in 2008. Mr. Jobs reportedly has received a liver transplant and is currently recovering, eagerly awaiting a return to Apple at the month's end.
(Source: WSJ)
Apple's CEO and cofounder hopes to put his health problems behind him
Founding one of tech industry's biggest players -- Apple -- and personally turning the company around in the late nineties was nothing compared to the challenge that Apple CEO Steve Jobs faced in 2004. Battling a rare and deadly form of pancreatic cancer, Mr. Jobs recovered thanks to surgery and reassumed his leadership role at the company, integrally helping to conceive, develop and release hit products such as the iPhone and MacBook Air.
Last year, though, many observers took note that Mr. Jobs looked sickly at public appearances. Sure enough, in January of this year he took
medical leave
, announcing he would be gone from Apple on medical leave until the end of June. In his absence Apple Chief Operating Officer Timothy Cook took over many of the day to day duties.
Now details of Mr. Jobs' medical battle, veiled in secrecy, have at last emerged. According to a
by the
Wall Street Journal
Mr. Jobs received a liver transplant in Tennessee two months ago. Mr. Jobs had earlier this year had relocated from California to Tennessee, a state known for having a shorter waiting list for organ transplants. At the time
had reported that Mr. Jobs was applying for a liver transplant.
Apple spokespeople contacted by the
to seek confirmation of the sourced reports refused to comment, merely reiterating that Apple "continues to look forward to returning at the end of June, and there's nothing further to say." According to the
report, COO Cook may take over additional roles to help Mr. Jobs during his recovery.
Earlier this year it was discovered that Mr. Jobs was receiving hormone therapy. Reportedly he was unable to digest food properly and receive nutrients. The liver is an integral part of hormone production, and also produces bile, needed for digestion. The liver is very sensitive to toxins, and can be damaged by chemotherapy, which Mr. Jobs likely received during his cancer treatment.
Liver transplant recipients have a 58 percent chance of surviving 15 years. Liver transplants have been performed since 1967; the liver was the second organ to be successfully transplanted, with the kidneys being the first.
Mr. Jobs is currently 54. Apple fans are eagerly awaiting
his return
, as he has always pushed the company and given it a
creative spark
. Apple released its latest hot offering -- the iPhone 3G S --
this Friday
. Apple also announced new MacBook Pros, detailed its new OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and revealed Quicktime X. Speculation has already begun that the company is preparing a major refresh to its iPod lineup for the fall.
"Well, there may be a reason why they call them 'Mac' trucks! Windows machines will not be trucks." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

A Hot Day's Night: The Beetles -
The semester is almost over here in Michigan, and I am looking forward to more regularity in writing these blogs. Sorry for the recent infrequency, and the occasional excursions into the arcane. I am looking for well posed, interesting, new questions to focus on, and you know how to find me if you have a good idea. In this entry I want to build of the recent heat and the early spring.
The thread I made through the last blog ended up with Plant Hardiness Zones, which are those maps that gardeners and farmers use to decide when to plant seeds. Over the last 20 – 30 years the warming of the planet has caused the northern migration of these zones. The Washington Post has an excellent graphic that shows the changes between 1990 and 2012. Since I am not so facile, I have taken from this graphic the two extremes, 1990 and 2012.
Figure 1: 1990 U.S. Plant Hardiness Zones. (From Washington Post)
Figure 2: 2012 U.S. Plant Hardiness Zones. (From Washington Post)
What I want to look at here are the very coldest temperatures, the purples. If you look at Zone 2b, the zone below -40 degrees F, it essentially disappears between 1990 and 2012. Zone 3a, which is between -35 degrees F and – 40 degrees F becomes much smaller.
So this past winter, and especially March 2012, was extraordinarily warm in the 48 contiguous states. In fact, I, who fly too much, had one of the easiest winters of travel. Based on Jeff Master's blogs, I chose several times to go through Chicago, and for the most part I have landed with splendid views of a blue Lake Michigan. There was an interesting piece on Talk of the Nation, noting the relation between a warm winter and the lack of flu. So what is the problem? It's not below -40 degrees anymore. Air travel is easier. We might have less flu. Does anyone besides me, planting potatoes on a dry 80 degree day in March, worry about this?
I have been spending a lot of time with beetle-killed wood this year. You might recall a couple of blogs back in 2009 where I talked about the pine beetles which are killing millions of acres of pine trees in the western U.S. and Canada. (Climate Change and the Forest, Climate and the Beetle) It is beautiful wood, often with a light blue tint. I am using it to restore a couple of 100 year old out buildings. There is a LOT of it; in fact, more than one can imagine managing. There is some lumber being made, some fire wood being made, but for the most part there are millions of acres of dead trees. I have talked to a couple of people who wonder why there is not more outrage about these massive forest kills. That's fodder for the comments.
Back up to the maps. The pine beetle responsible for killing the pines in the Rockies is itself killed, controlled, by temperatures less the -40 degrees F. This is at the edge of the coldest temperatures normally seen in the U.S., and these cold extremes have largely disappeared since 1990. In the map below, I have used the interactive version of the map from the US Department of Agriculture to extract the State of Colorado. There are only very small areas of Zone 3a remaining.
Figure 3: Plant hardiness zones in Colorado for 2012. From US Department of Agriculture.
We adapt to climate change – or we will. Now, one of the most effective adapters seems to be the Mountain Pine Beetle. In The American Naturalist there is a pre-publication posting of an article on the Unprecedented Summer Generation of the Mountain Pine Beetle. That is, rather than there being one generation of Mountain Pine Beetle during the year, in Colorado, in recent years there have been two broods. The paper is by Mitton and Ferrenberg. There is a press release of the paper here.
They noted in 2008 pine beetles flying and attacking pines more than a month earlier than the historic norm. They set up experiments to test three hypotheses: 1) That temperature had not changed; 2) That the length and timing of the flight season had not changed; and 3) the life cycle of the beetle had not changed. Their results found that there had been significant warming, with spring coming earlier. They found that the behavior of the pine beetle was explained by earlier emergence of the beetles, followed by a second brood of the beetles in the summer. Figure 4 shows this schematically. It is striking to see the move to earlier springs in the figure – as with the hardiness zones.
Figure 4: The historical mountain pine beetle (MPB) univoltine life cycle (above calendar arrows and linked by black arrows) and the observed MPB bivoltine life cycle (below calendar arrows and linked by red arrows). Univoltine means one brood per year, and bivoltine means two broods per year. Calendar arrow colors represent monthly temperature regimes: blue for <0°C, yellow for 0°–4.99°C, orange for 5°–9.99°C, and red for 10°C and higher. From Mitton and Ferrenberg, Mountain Pine Beetle Develops an Unprecedented Summer Generation in Response to Climate Warming.
This research took place in an area that in the 1970s was judged to be "climatically unsuitable for Mountain Pine Beetle development … ." The study is convincing that the devastation of the forest due to the pine beetle is directly related to the warming planet. It points out the vulnerability of the tree populations, as the trees that are being impacted now have not developed a historical resistance to the pine beetle. Since most of the beetles that are born live, this impact is not incremental, as that second generation is enormous.
So, yes, this warm winter has had its advantages - less fuel oil was needed. But in the western forest we are seeing this case study of wide ranging ecological disruption. The consequences of the disruption will unfold in the next decades. Questions of fire and soil erosion will emerge. The impact on tourism will be realized - and, of course, water quality and the change in the ecosystems of the western forests. The Mountain Pine Beetle is adapting rapidly to global warming, what are our strategies to adapt to the Pine Beetle?

This particular thought has been much on my mind for months and since most of you here have a fondness for sci-fi and allied entertainments outside of strictly Star Wars, I felt this was a good place to voice my protest.
DC Direct, DC Comics' toy manufacturing arm, which makes the best action figures ever based on their own properties, had planned, then canceled, figures based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' "Watchmen" series. The line was going to include two releases of some of the best figures of some of the best characters in the history of comics! The first release was to have included Dr. Manhatten, Silk Spectre, and The Comedian. The release of the figures was to coincide with the anniversary of the series and have been part of a merchandising blitz.
Then it happened. The incredibly fickle Alan Moore rekindled his blood feud with DC over creative issues and refused to sign off on the anniversary celebration of his master work. In support, Dave Gibbons jumped off of the Watchmen Anniversary bandwagon as well, prompting DC to just drop the entire celebration, including the release of many related items. Not the least of these being the action figures. DC felt, "it just wouldn't be a party without them [Moore and Gibbons].
That is as may be, however, I fail to see the logic in abandoning the figure line in absence of an anniversary celebration. There is no such fanfare surrounding the so-called "Hard Traveling Heroes" or various Vertigo characters. It was not Flash or Green Lantern's career milestones that prompted figures based on their respective Rogues Galleries. Superman, Aquaman, Shazam! - Not a party or celebration in the lot, yet the figures kept to their scheduled release dates.
What am I rambling about? I am hopeful that we can get a groundswell of support to petition DC Direct to greenlight the Watchmen figure line again. We should not have to do without (as fans) what would have been the best selling DC Direct line ever just because Alan Moore is a spoiled brat and Dave Gibbons is a bleeding heart conformist! Thoughts o' Watchmen fans?

PokerWorld's RNG solution ensures the even distribution of cards whereby no sequence or relationship can be discovered in any way. The RNG solution is unaware of what's going on in the game itself, so when the game requests a random card, the RNG has no idea of whose turn it is nor how the game is being played.
Technical Systems Testing RNG
TST laboratories provide fully independent and impartial testing and certifications for industry operators, suppliers, manufactures and regulators. TST analyzes system software and equipment, and the environments in which they operate, against manufacturer's specifications, legislative and regulatory requirements, and to generally accepted industry standards.

Microsoft CryptoAPI RNG
PokerWorld uses the cryptographically-secure RNG system found in Microsoft's CryptoAPI. "Cryptographically secure" means that the RNG is so completely random that even a large amount of computer analysis cannot predict or detect patterns in the output, a fact that has been validated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
- Microsoft's CryptoAPI RNG complies with Federal Information Processing Standard 186-2 appendix 3.1, using SHA-1 as the G function. It has been validated by the NIST's Cryptographic Module Validation Program.
- It is important to note that computers are deterministic machines, and as such, they cannot produce truly random numbers. For this reason one often refers to Pseudo Random Number Generators (PRNG). Pseudo implies that a PRNG does not produce truly random numbers, but numbers that are random enough for a specific practical use.
The validation of Microsoft's CryptoAPI by the National Institute of Standards and Technology proves the PRNG system used is highly random and highly secure as it is a critical building block for the CryptoAPI. For more information on NIST processing standards and security validation, please visit:

Sur Les Conjectures de Gross et Prasad I - Wee Teck Gan, Benedict H Gross, Dipendra Prasad and Jean-Loup Waldspurger
A note to readers: This book is in French.
The conjecture of Gross and Prasad determines, under some assumptions, the restriction of an irreducible admissible representation of a group \(G = SO(n)\) over a local field to a subgroup of the form \(G' = SO(n - 1)\). For two generic \(L\)-paquets (more precisely two generic Vogan's \(L\)-packets), the first for \(G\), the second for \(G'\), the conjecture states that there is a unique pair \((\pi,\pi')\) in the product of the two packets such that \(\pi'\) appears in the restriction of \(\pi\). Moreover, the parametrization of \(\pi\) and \(\pi'\) (in the usual parametrization of \(L\)-packets) is given by an explicit formula involving some \(\epsilon\)-factors.
In this second volume of Astérisque devoted to the conjecture, the authors give its proof when the base field is non-archimedean. In the first paper, they consider an irreducible admissible and self-dual representation of a group \(GL(N)\). They prove that the value at the center of symmetry of its \(\epsilon\)-factor is given by an integral formula in which the character of an extension of the representation to the twisted \(GL(N)\) appears. The second paper proves the conjecture for tempered representations. It is a consequence of the stabilization, in the sense of endoscopy theory, of the two integral formulas proved in the first paper above and in volume 346. Here the authors use some properties of \(L\)-packets that are still conjectural, but were probably proved by Arthur. In the last paper with Mœglin, they extend the result to non-tempered generic \(L\)-packets. It follows from the following fact that they prove that the elements in these \(L\)-packets are irreducible induced representations from tempered representations.

Family: Alcidae, Auks, Murres, Puffins view all from this family
Description ADULT SUMMER Has black neck, back and wings, dark gray crown, and otherwise white plumage that includes striking white face. Bill is mainly yellow with orange-red tip and notably swollen orange base of gape. Eye is surrounded by orange-red orbital ring and dark eyeline and vertical "horn" above eye are highlighted as if by mascara. ADULT WINTER Similar, but has darker, duller, and smaller bill plates, bill being "pinched in" at base. Face is much darker and eye lacks ornamentation. JUVENILE Recalls winter adult in plumage terms, but dark bill is much shallower (almost gull-like).
Dimensions Length: 14 1/2" (37 cm)
Habitat A mainly Alaskan specialty in breeding season, and locally common there, nesting colonially in crevices on sea cliffs. Off-duty breeders are often seen swimming in waters close to breeding colonies. In winter, range extends south and species is entirely pelagic and typically lives in offshore waters, well away from land.
Observation Tips Easy to see if you visit an Alaskan breeding colony in summer and relatively easy to see in inshore Alaskan seas at this time of year. Outside breeding season, most sightings comprise chance oceanic encounters from boats.
Range Alaska, Western Canada, California, Northwest
Voice Sitting birds sometimes utter grumbling calls from within rockcrevice nesting sites; otherwise silent.
Discussion Bizarre-looking and distinctive alcid that is unmistakable within its western range. In breeding season, laterally flattened bill is disproportionately huge and colorful. Swims buoyantly, dives frequently after small fish, and flight is speedy. Adopts upright posture when standing on rocks. Sexes are similar.

Memorial service for Aaron Lemonick scheduled, Oct. 18
Posted October 14, 2003; 05:10 p.m.
A memorial service for Aaron Lemonick, professor of physics emeritus and longtime University administrator, is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18, in the Princeton University Chapel. Lemonick died June 19 at age 80.
Lemonick, who served as dean of the Graduate School from 1968 to 1973 and as dean of the faculty from 1973 to 1989, was a beloved presence on campus for five decades. His great personal warmth and skill as an administrator helped drive an important period of growth and strengthening of the University faculty. He also was a gifted teacher who inspired generations of physicists as well as non-scientists and local schoolteachers.
Lemonick, who was married to the late Eleanor Leah Drutt, is survived by his two sons, Michael and David.
The memorial service will be followed by a reception at Prospect House.

LBJ's Great Society: 40 Years Later
1964 was a very busy year for Lyndon Johnson. First he rammed through Congress the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, giving him war powers in Vietnam. Next he signed into Law the now famous or infamous, depending on ones political slant, Civil Rights Act. He called this ambitious undertaking his "Guns and Butter" program. The first part of this equation to go sour was the war effort. Johnson treated the war like a political problem that he could solve by twisting the arms of Ho and Giap the same way he had got things done in the Senate for so many years. When this strategy failed to produce results he next tried to micro-manage the war from the Oval Office as if it were a giant chess game with our troops as the pawns. He went so far as to select bombing targets and to turn missions on and off like a switch with a carrot-on-a-stick approach to entice Ho to the peace table. Meanwhile on the home front, with his Great Society and War on Poverty programs, he was socially engineering our country into a welfare state while funding a military adventure overseas. When asked by a reporter if it was fiscally prudent to fund a war effort and his social programs at the same time he replied, "Heck yeah man, we're rich".
When Cronkite abandoned him on National TV, as he strolled through the ancient city of Hue with his battle helmet and somber intonations that we were mired in a quagmire and that it was time to seek peace, (code word for surrender), with honor, Johnson folded up like a wet tissue, tucked his tail between his legs, and slinked off back to his ranch in Texas.
As bad as his failure in Vietnam proved to be, the results of his Great Society Programs were far more insidious, deadly and injurious to our Nation's psyche. The mammoth social welfare entitlement programs that streamed out of Washington did more damage to the fabric of our society than any number of Vietnams could have done. The irony is, that the segment of our society that it meant to help, was the one that was most grievously harmed. Of all those who fell victim to the welfare mentality, none suffered more than the black communities.
In the fifties, although blacks were still struggling for equal oppertunities and were on the low end of the economic ladder, the black family was for the most part strong and stable. Two parent families were the rule, not the exception. They attended church together, had strong moral values, and did not comprise a majority of the prison population. Compare that to the present state of the black community after 40 years of Liberal Socialism. Our prisons are disproportionably black, unwed mothers and single parent families are the rule, black youths without a strong male role model other than rap stars and basketball players, roam the streets and are drawn into a culture of drugs and crime.
The following statistics are provided by Star Parker's Coalition of Urban Renewal, (CURE).
*60 percent of black children grow up in fatherless homes.
*800,000 black men are in jail or prison.
*70 percent of black babies are born to unwed mothers.
*Over 300,000 black babies are aborted annually.
*50 percent of new AIDS cases are in the black community.
*Almost half of young black men in America's cities are neither working nor in school. What we have here is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.
What was the message of the social programs that came out of LBJ's Great Society? One of the most devestating to the family was that if an unwed woman became pregnant, moved out of the home of her parents, did not name or know who the father was, then Big Daddy in Washington would provide for all her essential needs. Ergo she no longer needed a husband or the support of her family. In fact, the more children she had out of wedlock, the more money she would receive from the government. This program was the death knell for many families, especially in the black community. Unfortunately many black men saw this as the best of all possible worlds. They could father as many children as they wanted, from multiple women, without ever having to accept the responsibility of fatherhood. Many women rejected marriage in favor of a boyfriend who could slip in the back door and not jeopardize her government check. In this dysfunctional culture why would education be important? Why seek an education only to have to compete for a good job in the market place when they could just hang around the neighborhood and have all of life's amenities? In fact studying and getting good grades, for many blacks, became a social stigma. They were called "Uncle Toms" and accused of trying to act "white". Many blacks who had the potential to succeed gave in to this pressure and opted for failure. After all they had the perfect excuse. Did not the NAACP and race hustlers like Jesse Jackson tell them that it was not their fault? That they were just innocent "victims" of white racism?
This is the legacy of LBJ's Great Society.....compassion

Dubbing - Some thing contrasting with foam (ie. Black and Red)
Body - Foam (Any color)
Thread - Match Foam
1) After wraping thread on hook, tie on under color of tail.
2) Tie in black tail over other tail and trim over hook.
3)Cut foam rectangle approx 2 1/3 longer than hook shank and 1/4 inch wide. Cut at 45 degree angle from corner to point 1/3 of width and then angle up and cut parallel to side. Repeat on other side.
4) Wind dubbing onto thread.
5) Tie in body with back 1/3 hanging over tail and wing hanging past eye.
6) Wrap dubbing along shank. Dont' wrap foam, go below. Wrap back to body tie in point.
7) Fold back 1/3 over body and hold down with a few wraps (Thing will make to wing angle up). Fold wing back over body and add wraps at point where wing ends. Make to wraps very tight to compress body foam.
8) Whip finish and apply drop of head cement at body tie in point.
You can vary the colors to whatever works in your area.
