Ariat International was co-founded in 1990 by Beth Cross and Pam Parker, who set out to build a company with a new way of thinking about footwear for the riding and everyday needs wear. Incorporating technologies to enhance fit, comfort and performance in an industry that had been relatively unchanged for 50 years was no easy task. Ariat International began by assembling a group of top footwear designers, engineers, and manufacturing professionals to build the world's most innovative and advanced footwear for people who love horses and horsemanship. Ariat re-thought everything about riding boots and cowboy boots from the sole to the shank and through the shaft to design the final product. Today, Ariat is the world leader in performance equestrian footwear offering products for work, riding, and casual footwear for any occasion.
Regardless of how you live and work each day, Ariat boots are made to cushion the foot while stabilizing the heel and arch, which dramatically reduces fatigue and stress to the feet, legs and lower back. Ariat technology can be found in a variety of casual Ariat shoes as well — providing you with comfortable alternatives for time out of the field and off the saddle.

I've been offline for a while, just came across this. I can't come close to imagining how a human being worth being regarded as human could do this. I hope I never find out the identity.
I would take this dog in in a heartbeat. There's never too many residents at the inn to take in a dog that has suffered so much and still has the will to survive.

An easy-to-assemble salad that explodes with fresh flavors!
Purchased black bean salsa adds a lot of character to this salad without extra work! Look for it near the dips in the dairy or snack chip section or in the deli of your grocery store.
For a special presentation, instead of layering the salad in a bowl, arrange the salad ingredients on individual plates and serve with the vinaigrette on the side.
Skip the shredding. Buy already-shredded lettuce in the salad section of your grocery store.

Very good location, sweet apartment and a nice contact! Thank you!
Great apartment in a really central location. Was ideal for what I was needing for this trip, which was a base in town, from which I could come and go with ease. The people who manage the booking were wonderful, terribly understanding and worked around my needs and schedule changes without complaint. Very amiable and open to helping with anything that you may require.
Very good place to stay in. Recomend it!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
everything great, thanks
The flat is cosy and nice. Perfect for a short break, if you like to be in the centre,I would highly recommend it.
The apartment is very clean and well equiped. The connection to the center is realized by frequently operating buses. The host has been very friendly and helpful.
I would rent rent the apartment again.
Todo ha salido a pedir de boca en nuestra estancia en Madrid. El apartamento tal y como aparecía en la propaganda y la atención excelente. Si tenemos oportunidad, repetiremos.
Es coqueto, silencioso y la ubicación muy buena. Pero sólo sirve para ir a dormir. Descarten la idea de desayunar o incluso prepararse un simple sandwich. Es imposible ponerse de pie en la cocina (si no quieres dejarte los cuernos contra el techo de madera a dos aguas) por lo que hasta tomarte un vaso de agua resulta incomodísimo.

Cauliflower, enhanced with toasty almonds and a briny parsley-olive mixture, holds its own as the star in this simple and slightly spicy vegetarian supper.
Leave a Review
Made this last night and we really enjoyed it, especially as it is basically a pantry throw together. I added some of the almonds to the olive mixture and browned bradcrumbs for the top for added crunch. Also used wine instead of water. My husband had three helpings, so it is probably a 3.5, not a 3!
My sweetie and I really liked this! It was quick, easy and tasty, a good meatless meal. I used olives stuffed with almonds and garlic from the olive bar, and basil instead of parsley because I had it on hand, I love cauliflower, and this is a great way to make it the star of the main dish. Tip: cook the cauliflower a little more or a little less depending on whether you want it al dente or softer.
first off, i messed up and put the almonds in with the olive/parsley combo; secondly, i got a cuisinart processor for christmas, and am not used to it yet; let¿s just say i ¿over-processed¿ the olives, almonds and parsley into a pesto instead of a coarse-chopped mixture ;0). however, i believe my mistake worked for the best b/c we really liked it. a few in the family prefers a pesto sauce over a chunky combo. a plus for this recipe is that it met my criteria for a weeknight meal: simple, uncomplicated, nutritious and used ingredients i buy on a regular basis already and have on hand, meaning, it didn¿t swing outside the budget. the saltiness of the olives seemed enough, so didn¿t use the ½ tsp salt called for; had rotini on hand and i think that worked better than the spaghetti would, b/c the rotini¿s ridges held the sauce, making for a better taste-bud experience. next time, i¿ll use either broth or wine in place of the water, see if it ramps up the flavors, which were good already, but 2 of the resident ¿food critics¿ said it could¿ve been a bit more flavorful. am thinking a mixture of green & black olives and a dusting of buttered panko crumbs may help. But as it was, it was a good dish for our weekly meat-free dinners, worth 4 forks and one that I will make again
This was really good and fast and easy. It's a great combo of flavors and I'll be making it again soon. My husband, who is "suspicious" of cauliflower, loved this dish. I will definitely be making this many more times.
This was a fairly easy recipe, but I wasn't impressed with the result. Coarsely chopping the olive mixture meant that I should expect lots of stuff in my teeth when I was done with my meal. I think it would have been nicer to make it sort of like a sauce/pesto texture. I added braised tofu for my protein, which came out nice. But it wasn't a dish that was memorable.
I liked the flavors and it was a great way for me to add cauliflower to my diet (I'm not normally a big cauliflower fan), and my toddler liked the cauliflower as well. I found it to be too salty though--I'd try cooking the cauliflower without salt next time and see if that helps.
The marriage of all flavors are what makes this dish exceptional. NOTE: the recipe says to serve this immediately. There's a good reason for this instruction. Don't offer another glass of wine before and expect this dish to sit and then be perfect. It's meant to be eaten as soon as it is properly prepared All in all, a new vegetarian recipe in my repertoire.
I made this recipe exactly as written, no substitutions and we loved it. Served it to guests the second time, loved it again. The second time I accidentally stirred the almonds in at the end and it was fine. I'm always looking for a new way to use cauliflower and this is a keeper.
Yummy, but VERY rich. Would have been better served with a simple salad than alone.
Ok, I've revised my previous opinion. Forget the pasta, let it sit overnight, sprinkle the almonds on just before serving and have it as a 'salad'. It was really good!

Family: Vespertilionidae, Vespertilionid Bats view all from this family
Description Small bat with yellowish- to grayish-brown pelage, and a somewhat paler belly. Dorsal hairs are tricolored, and membranes are dark brown. In winter, hibernating individuals sometimes collect droplets of moisture on them, given them a sparkling appearance. Forearm 31-35mm.
Dimensions 75-90mm, 33-45mm, 6-10g
Warning Bats are susceptible to rabies, a serious viral disease that results in death if untreated. Rabid bats rarely attack humans or other animals, but bats found lying on the ground may be rabid. Never touch or pick up any bat. Stay away from any animal that seems to be acting strangely and report it to animal-control officers. If you are bitten by a possibly rabid animal, you must immediately consult a doctor for a series of injections; there is no cure once symptoms emerge.
Habitat Forests & woodlands, Canyons & caves, Cities, suburbs & towns
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Texas, Eastern Canada
Discussion Also known as Tricolored Bat. Summer roosts are in and on buildings, under shutters, and in attics and lofts of barns. Hangs with a hunched posture while sleeping. Individuals swarm in late summer and early autumn, seeking mates before entering hibernating caves. Uses a variety of habitats, especially open pasture.

From Salma Hayek, Former Advisory Board Member:
As a woman and a mother, I believe in speaking out strongly and passionately whenever possible to help diminish the suffering of women and children all over the world.
Just as I want to be there for my daughter, I want all mothers to be there for their children, because every child deserves to have a mother in her life. Cervical cancer has cut short these relationships far too often in poorer parts of the world — even in areas of my native Mexico — where women don't have the same access to health care as women do in the U.S.
Grounds for Health's cervical cancer screening, treatment and training programs successfully address this problem; and, by bringing life-saving care to mothers — and future mothers — who are the lifeblood of their families, they are saving daughters, sons, husbands and communities.

Elaborately decorated jackets are markers of high status and protection in Southeast Asia.

This fine hemp jacket laden with white shell discs was worn by a mature male member of a noble family with access to the prestigious shell beads imported from the coast.

ARSC HPC Users' Newsletter 365, July 13, 2007
HPC Faculty Boot Camp Agenda Posted; Drop-In Visitors Welcome
ARSC's annual faculty "boot camp," July 30 - Aug. 17, is an intensive, hands-on opportunity to gain new, or improve existing high performance computing skills, including how to manage extremely large volumes of data, run simulations for longer durations, and visualize data in 3D.
All faculty camp sessions are open.
Users, prospective users, other members of the university community, and the general public are welcome to attend presentations of interest. Here's the schedule:
You may contact the coordinator, Tom Logan, firstname.lastname@example.com , with questions.
WORKDIR Purging on Midnight to Commence, August 1st
This is a notice that purging on midnight will start on Wednesday, August 1, 2007.
As described in our web pages on storage:
http://www.arsc.edu/support/howtos/storage.htmlthe work directory filesystems on each of our platforms are a finite resource and are intended to be used as short-term storage. These working directories are accessed via the $WORKDIR environment variable and are not backed up. These directories include the following on midnight: /wrkdir.
In order to ensure that these filesystems continue to provide high-speed access to potentially huge temporary files, ARSC will be re-enabling the automatic purging of files on the $WORKDIR filesystem. This means that files on the $WORKDIR that you have not accessed in more than 30 days will automatically be removed. All /wrkdir files that you have not accessed in more than 30 days will be removed beginning on August 1. Please move any files you wish to save to $ARCHIVE_HOME now. Note that the $WORKDIR directory is not backed up and files in this directory which are not archived are at risk.
Here are some of the common questions and answers that you may have about this process. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact consult AT arsc.edu or 907-450-8602.
Question: How can I tell which files will be purged?
Answer: The purger uses the 'last access' date for each file. You can view this date for each file by using the -u option to ls. For example:
ls -lu
Note that this is different than the 'modified' date that Unix/Linux/OSX normally show. Anytime you read the contents of a file (or use a command like cat) you update the 'accessed' date field for that file.
You can also use a tool called getPurgable. Invoking
/usr/local/bin/getPurgablewithout any options will list out all files that you have in $WORKDIR that have not been accessed in over 30 days. You can see all of the available options by invoking getPurgable with -help
/usr/local/bin/getPurgable -help Usage: getPurgable [-p path] [-a agelimit] days getPurgable [-p path] [-a agelimit] [-n days] getPurgable -help -h -? -p (path) : Path to the filesystem (default is $WRKDIR) -a (agelimit) : Looks for files older than agelimit (default is 30) [-n] days : Looks for files that will be older than agelimit : over the specified days -h (Help) : Prints usage information
For example,
/usr/local/bin/getPurgable -n 3will show which files will become eligible for purging over the next 3 days. --
Question: Where should I put my data?
Answer: Copy the files and directories you want to retain to $ARCHIVE_HOME. As an aside, please remember that none of the $WORKDIR filesystems on any of our systems are backed up. Thus, it is a really good idea to backup your working files to either $ARCHIVE_HOME or $HOME regularly -- regardless of whether they are subject to purging or not. Only files that have not been accessed in more than 30 days will be purged so files that you are actively accessing in $WORKDIR will not be removed.
We recommend that you copy your files as opposed to moving them. This way you can, if needed, compare checksums between the copies to verify that they were copied correctly. We also request that you tar up directories prior to copying them as this can greatly speed up file transfers to the storage server. We recommend that tar files not exceed 200 GB. We do not recommend that you gzip or compress your files prior to copying them. Compressing the files on the systems can frequently take much longer than just copying the raw tar files and data is automatically compressed by the tape drive hardware prior to being written out.
Finally, note that if you need a larger quota in your $HOME directory to store source code, make files, etc., please send an email to consult. We are unable to grant $HOME quotas as large as the $WORKDIR quotas, but we can increase $HOME somewhat.

Cerebro to be Retired, July 31, 2007
The cerebro research cluster is scheduled to be retired at 8:00am on Tuesday July 31st, 2007. Cerebro home directories will be backed up before the scheduled decommission, however all data in $WORKDIR will be deleted. Therefore, if you have any data stored in your home directory or $WORKDIR, please retrieve the data before Tuesday the 31st.
If you have any questions regarding the decommissioning of cerebro or transferring data from your home directory or $WORKDIR, please contact the ARSC Help Desk.
$WORKDIR or $WRKDIR, Which Should I Use ?
Both $WORKDIR or $WRKDIR point to the same, purgeable filesystem. You should prefer the $WORKDIR variable, as it is now the standard across all the HPCMP centers, which will make migration between centers easier. Similarly, $ARCHIVE_HOME and $ARCHIVE are equivalent, but you should prefer $ARCHIVE_HOME.
Common environment variable names are only one part of the Baseline Configuration (BC) Project, which is working to create consistent working environments across all resources of the Modernization Program. We introduced this to you in issue #345:

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I have a binary formatted file with floating point numbers in it, [[ but I can't remember if I compiled with REAL*4 or REAL*8 when I [[ created the output. I know I should really be using NetCDF or HDF [[ for output files, but I didn't know about those file formats when [[ I created the file! Is there a simple way for me to see the values [[ in the file without writing a new program? There ought to be a [[ way to do this on the command line! # # Sean Ziegeler # Personally, I find that dissecting binary files is an important skill. On UNIX-like systems, I use the "od" command. It can dump the file as ints, reals, and other standard types. For more information, type "man od", but in-short, you will want to dump the file as 4-byte reals and then as 8-byte reals and see which one makes more sense. I am going to assume that you do not have any other non-real values before your reals (more on that later). So first try the following (piping to "more", "less", "head", etc. since the output may be very long depending on your file size): od -t fF mydatafile more What you should see is something like: 0000000 7.845912e-40 1.229055e+03 3.921417e+37 9.261866e-06 0000020 -7.855965e-31 1.486139e+23 -5.087093e+06 -7.099653e-04 ... The left column of numbers are hexadecimal offset values (see the man page). As you can see in the example, the above values fluctuate wildly and probably aren't correct. So, try the command again for 8-byte: od -t fD mydatafile more If those numbers make more sense, then you probably wrote out 8-byte floats. In the case that you did write out header information or other values before your reals, you can use the "-j" flag to skip some bytes before writing out values. The following example skips 100 bytes before printing out real values: od -j 100 -t fF mydatafile more I mention that because, quite often, Fortran programmers use the sequential unformatted format rather than "direct" access. In those cases, you will usually have a 4-byte record separator before your real values start. Thus, you may need to try "od -j 4 ..." One other handy hint for Linux users: the "khexedit" program is a GUI-based program with some of the above features. It isn't good at listing long strings of real numbers, but it can inspect them one at a time and without all the cumbersome command-line switches. # # Jed Brown # od will do the trick: # in bash... $ bindata () { perl -e 'print pack("ffdd", 1.1, 2+1e-8, 3.3, 4+1e-8)'; } $ bindata od -t f4 0000000 1.100000e+00 2.000000e+00 2.720083e+23 2.162500e+00 0000020 1.577722e-38 2.250000e+00 0000030 $ bindata od -t f8 0000000 2.000000473484397e+00 3.300000000000000e+00 0000020 4.000000010000000e+00 0000030 # # Kate Hedstrom # Perl used to come with an xdump script for reading binary files in a nifty format. I'd use that to see if there was some pattern that repeated every 4 or 8 bytes. I can attach an old xdump to this message. A:[[ **BONUS ANSWER (courtesy of Kurt Carlson) on the problem of [[ ** preserving file ownership when moving directories between hosts. FYI, using 'sudo tar xf' is STRONGLY discouraged (considered bad practice). Yes, it preserves ownership... and when installing things it may set very wrong ownership. So many sys admins were burned at some time in their careers by untarring as root that it generally makes the list now of "don't do that." Untar as yourself and set ownerships appropriately when you're done. Anyway, there is no real solution for the question you posed. Possibly one approach might be to use source repositories (cvs/subversion/...) where you have logs of who checked things in but actual ownership is irrelevant (as it should be).

According to the organizing body of this convention, "It was established mainly in response to concerns that an increase in krill catches in the Southern Ocean could have a serious effect on populations of krill and other marine life; particularly on birds, seals and fish, which mainly depend on krill for food. The aim of the Convention is to conserve marine life of the Southern Ocean. However this does not exclude harvesting carried out in a rational manner."

How imortant is it for the bird to land close to the ribbon someone put out for landing spot.

Depends on how many times the judges are gonna call it a no bird
Darrin Greene
Average about 2 no birds a test. Shot some I thought were no birds, and they sent the dog.
I think the reason I thought about it was from reading someone else talkink about how accurate some people placed the birds

"Your dog learns as much by doing his work right,by your praise and encouragement, as he does by your displeasure and correction." DLWalters
I recently shot flyers at a test. Everyone should try it. It gives you a new appreciation for the guys that can put a duck in the same spot most of the time. It is also important to use quality shells. We hand threw them, and they were all over the place due to the wind swirling. I think a winger is a good idea, but these are still birds that can fly and do there own thing.
Cherokee Foothills HRC
I agree with Steve S. The ribbon shows the direction moreso than a spot. In fact, after the practice shots and before the test dog, I usually tell the gunners to pick up the ribbons. There are a lot of dogs that can see the ribbon and there's no sense in creating an unfair advantage either way.

Struan's Master of the Hunt JH, WC ("Charlie")
Struan's Just Plain Perfect ("Jane")
CH Struan's Driving Us Crazy ("Daisy") ... the baby in charge
Dixie ... the "spare parts" dog
it's a flyer...their landing spots are unpredictable and judges do/should take that into consideration when judging flyers. A ribbon left in the field is actually something I try to avoid as a judge as if the bird doesn't land on it and I release the dog...dog has problems...it just gives the handlers something to nit pick about later on. It's great if the gunners can drop the birds in the same spot each time, but it's not practical so even if you think that last flyer you shot should be a no bird and the judges release the dog anyway, those judges are typically going to take that fall location into consideration when coming up with a marking score.

Visitors heading out to the Overland Park Arboretum are now greeted by a big surprise: a ticket charge. After more than two decades as a free attraction, the 300-acre outdoor venue just-off of 179th street and 69 Highway is now charging $3 dollars to enter and a buck for kids.
Thanks in part to the controversy over a bronze statue of a topless woman, last year was the best ever for the arboretum which is trying to get visitors to think of them as MORE than just a park. Joining us on The Local Show is the Chair of the Friends of the Arboretum Dennis Patton.
This is great news! Keep in mind that, when you buy gas, 90% of the money you spend leaves your community. If you calculate the total, it's tens of millions leaving your local economy every year.
When you buy an EV, you're going to use 100% domestic energy that costs about 20% that of gasoline. The 20% goes to your local utility, so most of that money stays local. The other 80% stays in your pocket. You can then spend that money, several hundred dollars to maybe more than a thousand, on local goods and services. When thousands of your fellow citizens are doing this, millions of dollars that used to go out of state, or out of the country, will instead be spent locally generating jobs and wealth in your community.
Oh, and your air will be cleaner, too!

Temperature limits
The permissible operating temperature for angular contact ball bearings can be limited by:
- the dimensional stability of the bearing rings and balls
- the cage
- the seals
- the lubricant
When temperatures outside the permissible range are expected, contact the SKF application engineering service.
Bearing rings and ballsSKF angular contact ball bearings undergo a special heat treatment. The bearings are heat stabilized up to at least 150 °C (300 °F).
CagesSteel, brass or PEEK cages can be used at the same operating temperatures as the bearing rings and balls. For temperature limits of cages made of other polymer materials, refer to Cage materials.
SealsThe permissible operating temperature for NBR seals is –40 to +100 °C (–40 to +210 °F). Temperatures up to 120 °C (250 °F) can be tolerated for brief periods.
LubricantsTemperature limits for greases used in sealed SKF angular contact ball bearings are provided in (table 1). Temperature limits for other SKF greases are provided under Lubrication.
When using lubricants not supplied by SKF, the temperature limits should be evaluated according to the SKF traffic light concept.

By Tiernan Ray
Following a better-than-expected fiscal Q3 report tonight from Red Hat (RHT), and an upbeat Q4 forecast as well, shares are up $5.97, or 12%, at $54.97 in late trading.
CEO Jim Whitehurst was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with me by phone following the company's conference call with analysts.
One big feature of the quarter was the company's software billings, which came in at $453 million, up 19%, and, as Whitehurst pointed out to me, above Street expectations for perhaps $421 million, or just 11% projected growth.
Billings were the big problem for Red Hat last quarter, causing the shares at the time to drop 11% in the after hours. Having blown past Street expectations for billings, as Whitehurst put it, "I'm hoping we're over the hump with that," he said. The problem, as Whitehurst had told me back in September, was that deal size had increased with many customers of Red Hat, and as a consequence, deals were more complex and taking longer to put together, which resulted in lower billings in any one quarter.
But now Whitehurst thinks the company has reached more of a balance, so that things aren't quite so unpredictable. "That dynamic really picked up in Q4 of last year," he observes, of the larger deal size. "So, I'm hoping that we are past the worst of that now."
Whitehurst said the company's encouraged by its progress in selling the open-source "OpenStack" software program, which entities large and small are using to build cloud computing infrastructure.
"We had several solid six-figure deals with OpenStack," he says, although much of that is in an early, experimental stage for the enterprises that are kicking the tires.
"They are buying, maybe, 50 nodes at a time, experimenting, getting used to it," he says, but "certainly there is a lot of enterprises interest."
Most of this is being used to build the new IT apps, not the old stuff, he notes. "It's all the new generation of apps written to be on a distributed infrastructure."
I point out to Whitehurst that some companies may look to EMC (EMC) or NetApp (NTAP), or VMware (VMW) or Microsoft (MSFT) to build upon all the gear they've already got with one or more commercial virtualization packages, presenting obstacles to OpenStack uptake. That was certainly one of the messages of a note on Monday by UBS software analyst Brent Thill.
"Well, yes, they are certainly the alternative that's out there," he says of the blue chip IT vendors. "But we have a compelling story to say, Hey, why lock yourself into the same stuff you're frustrated with already?"
"Companies don't want to create the next Microsoft," he insists, by going with more proprietary software.
Regarding "OpenShift," Red Hat's software for building cloud applications, or "Platform-as-a-service," PaaS, as it's known in the cloud business, that product "continues to do quite well" said Whitehurst, though it, just like OpenStack, is still at a very early stage of deployment.
"It is hitting a clear DevOps need out there," he says, meaning application developers.

That fat guy with the shaved chest hair bothers me, especially on the one episode where he didnt wear a tie and he had the top of his shirt open...
hurray for birthdays!
Is it just me, or does Jerome (who's last name escapes me right now) look like a bad Jon Lovitz character? I can't help but think this everytime I see him!
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
What happened last night on Jeopardy, I forgot to watch it.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
I forget who won, but all three were within a thousand dollars of each other. It was a really close game.
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
Well after two nights of the three night final the standings are
Brad 38k I think....
Ken 26k
other dude 10k
So Ken has some work left over if he wants to win.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
When I watched it Monday nite, I thought the questions were MUCH tougher than normal. Judging by the relatively low scores over the first two rounds, I'd have to say it wasn't just me. I really expected this to be a high scoring affair, but I guess I was wrong. I would have preferred a bunch of easy garbage (see SNL's "Celebrity Jeopardy!" ) and have a high scoring shoot-out.
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
Nothing actually against Ken, but I hope he goes down tonight so people will shut up about him.
That's my jacket!
It looks like the tournament hype failed to live up to expectations. It was clear by yesterday's show that Ken had met worthy opponents who weren't pushovers like 2/3 of his competition during regular play. Kudos to Brad Rutter, the 2 million dollar winner. He had the right answers and he seemed faster on the draw than Ken was. Brad didn't have to wager a single dollar during Final Jeopardy because the tournament was already in the bag.
In related news, Comedy Central has signed Ken to do a game show for their network, perhaps similar to the channels most successful game show, "Win Ben Stein's Money." Look for it to air next year.
"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is. But this I am sure of - do their duty the Jedi will." --Yoda from Attack of the Clones.
Just call me Slicker. . . .
Serious reason for dredging this up, though: Has anyone heard about Jennings being a total douchebag on his site? What, $2.5 million isn't enough when your fifteen minutes of fame is up? I read about it on a Yahoo! News story and refuse to actually visit this guy's site.
If ever anyone deserved a pimp-slappin'....
That's my jacket!

Feels good!
To have something go right. Who says each of our letters don't count?
Dear Massachusetts Activist:
Thank you for all of your hard work writing letters and calling your
Senator and Representative in the Massachusetts legislature after
we contacted you last month. Because of your continued efforts,
Massachusetts' Riverways Program was rescued from Governor Romney's
veto list when the House of Representatives overrode the Governor's
veto of Riverways (2300-0101) in a UNANIMOUS vote of 156-0, and the
Senate joined them with only one opposing vote!
Please take a few minutes today to thank your elected officials for
voting to save a program dedicated to protecting and restoring the
Commonwealth's watersheds. Your follow-up not only lets them know
their vote is appreciated, but also shows that you follow their
voting record and hold them accountable for their votes. A sample
thank you note follows.
Contact information for your Senator and Representative can be found
at http://www.state.ma.us/legis
Dear (Insert title and name):
Thank you for your vote to override Governor Romney's veto of the
Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Environmental Law
Enforcement's Riverways Program (line item 2300-0101) and for
restoring funding to this program.
Massachusetts' watersheds not only provide critical habitat for fish
and wildlife, but rivers such as the Charles contribute over $100
million to the economy through fishing, recreation, and tourism. The
Riverways Program is the chief advocate for the rivers of
Massachusetts and promotes the protection and restoration of the
Commonwealth's watersheds by providing technical assistance and
outreach to communities, citizen groups, and others. Your vote goes
a long way toward ensuring the continued protection of this treasured
state resource.
Thank you again for your vote to save Riverways from Governor
Romney's veto!
(Insert your full name and address)

restore America's rivers, and being a part of American Rivers' River
Action Center (http://amriversaction.ctsg.com/wac/).

Your right Juro it does feel good, and thanks to everyone else that wrote in support of Riverways. It's a great program run by inspired people. And although it is 2003 we can still finds scenes like this along our rivers and streams. We have a lot of work left to do.
Tim -
Again I am both disturbed and inspired by the images and thoughts you put forth on your site. I guess sending thoughts in writing to officials is not such a major accomplishment afterall, although it's something we must always do and do more of, it's also important to take measurable, physical action.
Per your photo essay on the illegal dumping into Trout Brook:
It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants.
The question is: What are we busy about?

I havent been on here much lately but I thought I would let you fellas know about my hunt this morning. When daylight started breaking the snow started falling and the fog rolled into the knobs where I was hunting. As you can imagine the birds werent doing nothing, never heard any birds or seen any.
At about 10:00 the snow let up a little bit and I decided to try a new location. The first field I checked I spotted a flock of gobblers and made a plan to move on them. Before I could get into position though I spotted a flock of hens that was in a lot better position to work. I was within seventy yards of the birds so I let out some Kee Kee's with some excited yelps and got the lead hen talking. It wasnt just a couple of minutes and she led the flock right down the fence row to me. At about 25 yards I let her have it and ended my wet and cold morning. Hopefully I will catch up with those toms before the week is up.

Staying in Cambridge Hall at Manchester Metropolitan University and attending the UKUUG Linux 2001 Conference.
At the end of the first day of the two-day European Union summit, armed police of Gotenborg city threw rocks and shot into a crowd of anti-globalization protesters. One person was seriously wounded in the stomach by Swedish police militia.
Today I joined a non-violent protest against the police shootings in Sweden, in front of the Swedish Embassy in Oslo, along with various other humans. For about 15 minutes, a large group of terror policemen was effectively blocking the road in front of us and behind us, leaving us no escape. That seemed like a provocation from the police ("Gotcha!"), but fortunately everyone just kept listening to the talks, ignoring the men, their bats, their white helmets and their grinning dogs.
Spotted Håkon Wium Lie, inventor of Cascading Style Sheets, among the protesters today.
The online version of the GNU C Library manual was updated yesterday.
Just filed the application for transfer to Civil Service. I'll end up serving 4 months extra duty for that, 16 months in total.
In Norway, where I currently live, there is conscription, as there is in half the nations of the world. It is demanded that you make yourself available for the military machinery of the state for 12 months and are willing to take the lives of others and jeopardize your own.
Update: 2 months extra for doing Civil Service, 14 months in total.
In Tim O'Reilly's response to Jim Allchin's comments on "open source" software development, he links to Ontario Swine Improvement Inc.:
I was disappointed, because Allchin's comments ignored all of the reasoning behind the widespread change from the term "free software" to the term "open source." (While there is a lot of overlap between the ideals of the free software movement and the open source movement, the two are not identical.)
I'm amused that O'Reilly makes open source look like swine.
Exciting day with many interesting talks by free software ûberhackers at OSDEM (denoted FSDEM by rms).
If you get the chance to hear people like rms, wichert or Jeremy Allison sometime, I deeply recommend to attend their talks.

Analogies are often dangerous... Regarding the 220 vs 120, well as long as the resistor is bigger than the value you calculated, you're safe and the lower current will safeguard the led, which will just not be as bright.... up to a point of course, too big a resistor and the led will be too dim to see.
I understand that the bigger resistor is the lower current will but I miss some explanation about how to choose the resistor's value.

It is classified as endangered in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. This turtle has suffered from degradation of its habitat and pollution. It has been killed in huge numbers for its meat and eggs, its calipee, which is used in turtle soup, and its handsome shell, used to make tortoise shell jewelry. International trade restrictions on tortoise shell have helped. Additionally, Hawksbills were once frequently caught in the nets of shrimp trawlers, but turtle excluder devices have reduced this threat significantly.

The Assassination Attempt You Have Not Heard Of
by Erick Erickson
The American Thinker brings us word of an attempted assassination you probably have never heard of.
It happened in September of 2010 in Missouri. A 22 year old named Casey Brezik, wearing a bullet proof vest, charged toward Missouri's Democratic Governor Jay Nixon with a knife and attempted to slash his throat.
The only thing I can find that represents MSM coverage is ref to a Kansas City Star article that is no longer available if you go to that website, but there are plenty of other articles about him (Nixon) from that time frame re 8/1, 8/12, 9/5, 9/15 & 9/29, and there is a mention about this on Jay Nixon's Wikipedia page. But there are charges filed against Brezik for 1st deg Assault & Armed Criminal Action filed in State Court .
Something smells here. No refs at all from CBS, NBC etc or local affiliates of an attack on the leader of a state Why would a major (?) area newspaper "scrub" any references to an attack on the state's Gov ?
Any Missouians here that remember this in the news?

You may have been in attendance at the 1st Q&A session with George Lucas last Saturday morning...or seen pictures(which have been popping up globally thanks to AP) of the little boy who got to go up & shake his hand. That was my son Tyler, age 8. Due to his disabilities, our family was seated in the handicap section. It was yet another gift he has imparted to us. His simple gesture of "Thank you" at the mike brought the house down, and for days people came up to us with gestures of love & graditude...some simply saying he nailed the moment for many. I never thought in my wildest dreams I would even get that close to the saga's creator, but his look to me when I went to the front to snap a picture, was one a proud parent gives another. After all...he is the Father of the Force.

Kate Carbine knew that there were good mothers in the ward.
She just wasn't one of them.
So why did she ever let herself get involved in this co-op daycare with Lissa and "Fangs"? Lissa has no children of her own and therefore has never made a mistake in child-rearing, while Fangs is the perfect Mormon mother - Relief Society president and practicing physician, with a spotless house and a marvelous sense of humor.
Some people were meant to be mothers, Kate figures, and some people weren't.
As you'd expect from the author of Paradise Vue, what happens next is funny and full of wry truth. And when Kate Carbine's year of co-op daycare is over, you'll look at the children in your life and be grateful they're only a little bit strange!

Even being a girl, even not understanding wrestling in the least, many of my memories of the Olympics are of wrestling and boxing. I watch the Olympics hoping that they will be as good as they used to be--and then there's no wrestling or boxing coverage--and I'm totally disappointed.
The Olympics have jumped the shark.

I was a paper scrapper for several years before I discovered the digital possibilities. The impetus was an add in a magazine, (McCalls crafts, I think) showing a layout of a baby page. My first grandchild was due in a few months, and I decided I had to try this. And I was hooked! My first digital scrapbook was actually a Power Point presentation well, several linked presentations of a trip with my sisters in 2001. When I finished that I decided to create a heritage album, using all the photos and documentation my aunt had collected during her life. And I knew Id need at least two copies, and that there would be lots of pages, so creating it the traditional way was not likely to be completed in my lifetime. I had PSE 3 by then and a scanner, so I began. Six years, 100+ pages, and 15 printed albums later, the project was done. Along the way I searched online for digital scrapping sites, and found some, but they were cumbersome to use. And then I found Scrap Girls advertised in a magazine Creating Keepsakes, I think checked it out, and never looked back. I taught biology and related sciences for twenty years, but at the end of the 2005 school year I retired, partly because I just couldnt face the prospect of another year grading science fair projects, but mostly to have time to play at scrapbooking. Retirement also makes it possible for us to travel in months other than July, and to take longer trips DH just has to get all those bird photos! Our 48th anniversary is this month; as Dave would say, weve been married forever.
The many aspects of Scrap Girls I appreciate are its ease of use, mostly a factor of organization, I think; the wonderful quality and variety of products offered; the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff AND members. I was amazed once to receive a response to a question from Brandy Murry in Amsterdam in less than 30 minutes! Incredible service! The tutorials are outstanding well written and illustrated, and always introducing new techniques. I also love the inspiration provided by layouts in the gallery, again, from members as well as designers. I think I spend more time browsing and saving favorites than I do scrapping.
Of all the layouts Ive made, I think the two page spread about my maternal grandmother, Letters from Helen, is the one I cherish most. I never knew her, as the page explains, except through a few pictures and some letters. These will be part of a heritage album for my mothers side of the family.
Again, thank you for this honor. I truly appreciate it.

As fashionable as exposing your bra is, there's a big difference between showing one off under a sheer lace top and having a strap sticking out from the back of a racerback dress. But just because the dress you love doesn't work with traditional bras (hello, backless!), doesn't mean you have to go unsupported. Here are seven strange and magical non-bras and bra accessories designed to keep you lifted and in place, even in the most challenging dresses.
1. For strapless and mesh-top dresses: Strapless body suits and bustiers.
Strapless bras are great in theory, but in reality they slip, especially if you are over a C-cup. Instead, try a bustier or body suit. The increased surface area means the bustier or body suit can better grip your body and support your chest without slipping. You may also want to try going down a band size and up a cup size for a little extra hold.
Teal Dress, ASOS CURVE, $42; Black Strapless Bodysuit, VA BIEN, $90; Nude Bustier Bra, VA BIEN, $79; Strapless Print Dress, GUESS BY MARCIANO, $126
2. For low-backed dresses: wrap-around bra-converting straps.
This strap, worn with a normal bra, will give you those extra couple of inches you need to pull off that slightly-too-low, low-backed dress.
Low-Back Gold Sequin Dress, FASHION TO FIGURE, $42; Low Back Strap Attachment, NORDSTROM, $9; Cut Out Geo Bodycon Dress, FOREVER 21, $40
3. For sleeveless and racer-back dresses: bra converters.
Not only do they help you hide your straps in the back, they also give you a little extra lift and cleavage.
Black Sleevless Dress, FINDERSKEEPERS, $179; Strap Converter, FASHION FORMS, $12; Cobalt Blue Racerback Dress, BOOHOO, $15
4. For backless halter dresses and dresses with low arm holes: Stick-on bras with convertible straps.
The front closure helps bring your breasts together and the convertible straps give you lift that would otherwise be impossible, although they only really work on A, B, and C cups.
Black and White Racerback Dress, MAURIE & EVE, $150; Black Adhesive Bra, PURE STYLE GIRLFRIENDS, $40; White Halter Dress, ASOS, $50
5. For plunging necklines: Long-line plunge bras.
Perfect for necklines that extend below your sternum.
Black Deep V Pencil Dress, ASOS, $121; Black Convertible Strapless Plunge Bra, FINE LINES, $54; White Plunge Dress, SOLACE LONDON, $108
6. For super-low spaghetti-strap dresses: strapless stick-on bras.
Some stick-on bras are made out of silicone, which can weigh your breasts down and make them look saggy, but these are super thin and lightweight. They can't do much for you in the way of lift, but they're great for keeping you covered and creating a little cleavage in barely-there dresses.
Multicolor Maxi Dress, VICTORIA'S SECRET, $148; Nude Adhesive Bra, NUBRA, $40; Orange Printed Dress, REBECCA MINKOFF, $99
7. For backless, front-plunging dresses: Tear-drop pasties.
For C-cups and under, these special pasties use a medical-grade adhesive to lift your breasts individually and hold them in place. Sadly there is still no retail option for larger chests, although if you are really determined, you can try taping your breasts in place. Just spot test first with a small piece of tape to make sure there's no irritation, cover the nipple with a piece of fabric or a pasty to protect it, and make sure you have plenty of acetone nail polish remover and/or baby oil on hand to help you remove the tape when you're done. It's not glamorous or easy and it can be pretty uncomfortable to remove, but if you really love that dress, it's an option.
White Plunging Neckline Dress, AQ/AQ, $143; Breast Life Tape, PURE STYLE GIRLFRIENDS, $17; Black Halter Plunge Dress, JOHN ZACK, $58

Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
The City of Bellevue Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan is a comprehensive approach to the content and organization of all emergency management documents for the city's Emergency Management Program. The CEMP describes the basic strategies, assumptions, operational objectives and mechanisms through which Emergency Management Program will mobilize resources and conduct activities to guide and support local emergency management efforts through preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation.
The CEMP consists of two parts: the base plan and the annexes.
The Emergency Operations Center
The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) serves as a centralized location for emergency operations. Activited at the request of the City Manager, Emergency Preparedness Manager or any city department director, the center will coordinate and support the community response to a disaster and coordinate efforts with county, state and federal agencies.
Designated staff report to the EOC to coordinate response efforts and support field operations. All or part of the Emergency Management organization and/or the EOC may be activated during a disaster.
The level of activation will be determined by the nature and extent of the disaster. The EOC can be operational 24 hours a day and is equipped with alternate power supplies for use during a general system failure.
Emergency Management Program Strategic Plan
This plan is a road map Bellevue's emergency management over the next few years. It aims to strengthen the foundation of the city's emergency management activities by coordinating existing and future activities that protect citizens, property and the environment from the wide range of natural and human-caused hazards that threaten the city.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|i'm so outta here
RE:7/4- Monomoy Island, flats, fly, wade, saltwater, Chatham.....
As "stewards of our environment" it seems there is one aspect of fluro leaders we ought to consider: the effect manufacture of this material has on the environment.
I certainly think it has to contribute to the overall mass of fluorocarbon emissions discharged per year, but I would be curious to know just what percentage it claims. I also know there are several types of fluorocarbons, some more damaging than others. Does anyone know the details of how leaders are made and if it contributes significantly to the problem of greenhouse gas levels??
This isn't meant as a criticism or an injunction against using fluorocarbon leader. It's just something that nags at me on a personal level. Any of you chemists out there have a take on this?
RE:7/4- Monomoy Island, flats, fly, wade, saltwater, Chatham, Cape Cod
A striper that bit through the hook?!! Now that's a BIG fish!
7/4- Monomoy Island, flats, fly, wade, saltwater, Chatham, Cape Cod, fis
Exaggerated tides have started. This normally brings in fresh fish. It will last until July 9. Look for fishing to be pretty good.
Walked a ½ mile out in knee-deep water in pea soup fog this A.M. using a compass to find the honey hole. It produced 5-6 fish in the 20-inch range. One fish that was lost had to be big as it bit the hook in half?
With increasing strong winds and storms forecast for mid-day we decided to just fish for ½ day. Hit several spots that had been producing on the same tides earlier this season. Today in these same spots it was slow. Looks like its mostly resident fish from here on out.
Fishing was slow for us today. Lil sun, in and out made it tuff to only sight fish. We positioned ourselves in an area where we could blind cast when there was no sun and sight fish when there was. It was an area where they transition in and out of the deeper water and also swim in and out of a cove.
Id like to thank AlanT for his crab pattern! My client's cast to several big fish on the flats today and landed a 40 incher (approx.25 lbs.) on his crab fly. He was most gracious to throw me one this A.M. at the dock at Outermost Harbor and Marina.
Noticed something for the first time this year on the flats. A good # of fish were not in a hurry on the flats. They would swim slower and hang around, grubbing for food. This is something you will normally see amongst the residents this time of year.
Moving slowly around and not wading out to far provided us with something not many people ever experience. Tailing Bass on the flats. You could see their tails flopping back and forth for balance.
A friend of mine saw, and landed a 30 incher under the same situation. A slow and stealth like approach is what is needed.
A dozen 20 lb'ers were sighted.
Congrats go out to Tom Brightman, first time flats fishing with a 25 lb. bass released!
Another very slow day. Worked transitional funnels on the flats while blind casting. Then to look for tailers. Worked several other feeding areas and came up empty. O-well. Today what we did was not called fishing, it was called tuff!
Decided to try someplace different than Monomoy today. With no sun we found fish in a foot of water cruising back and forth along a sand bar looking for a bite to eat. Very fussy, went through 20 different flies of all shapes and sizes. Finally lowered myself to throwing a white and chartreuse clouser. If I had had a kitchen sink I would have tried it. Good # of fish sighted w/ no sun! On the drop we decided to hit a flat that had a grass filled bowl next to it. They tend to hang a little longer on the flats if they have a safe exit. Good # of big fish sighted with the help of the afternoon sun and a couple caught. We walked one mile from the boat drop off and were exiled to an area void of boats and other anglers. How sweet it is!
Saw half dozen of those 20+lb'ers!
7/1 and 2
Sun made for some fabulous sight fishing on the flats! Lots of big fish spotted and cast to. Few keepers caught and released for future generations.

Fluorocarbon leaders have been getting a lot of attention in the last couple of years. The company tech reports usually claim that their line is superior to all others! With all of the different brands out there, I thought I'd give you my 2 cents.
I try to get away with as heavy a leader as the fish will let me so I can get the fish in a reasonable amount of time. Typically this means 8-12 lb. for the salmon, 4-8 lb. for the steelies and 8-20 lb. for Striped Bass and Blues. Bottom line is lighter leader=lower visibility leader=more strikes. Buyer beware though, there is some real CRAP fluorocarbon out there. About the best I've found is Orvis Mirage. It is low diameter, more flexible/durable than the others I've fished. Be sure to compare line diameters when buying any leader material, but especially with the Fluorocarbon. You'll see that the CRAP out there is quite a bit thicker than the good stuff. Some of the junk fluoro. will also delaminate as you fish it, not good.
This whole discussion really depends on what you're fishing for. From experience I can tell you that the steelhead have the best eyesight of all the trout and salmon. The lighter your leader the better . . . even better still if you fish fluorocarbon. Two big advantages to fishing fluoro. is that it is much more abrasion resistant than standard mono and because of it's reduced visibility you can often go a little heavier than you could with the mono. For example, fishing steelie's under normal water levels I usually fish 6-8 lb. leader. I can fish 8-10 lb. fluoro. with the same results. Yes, the Mirage fluoro. is very expensive, but I figure if it catches me a few more fish than it is worth every penny.
I have used several different kinds of Fluorocarbon leader material (Stren, Berkley,P-Line, International Angler, Bass Pro, Orvis). I feel that the Orvis Mirage or Orvis Mirage IGFA fluorocarbon is the best out there. It is quite abrasion resistant, has a low diameter to test ratio and disappears underwater. The downside is that it is expensive at $9.95/25 yards. However, I know it helps me to catch more fish, so it's worth the cost. I have been told that Yozuri and Triple Fish also make high quality fluorocarbon, but I have not had a chance to fish with it. Just remember something. The different brands that are rated at the same test will break over a wide range. The Orvis Mirage IGFA is guaranteed to break at the labeled test. If you compare that line in 8 lb. to Berkleys Vanish in 8 lb. you will find a big difference. The Berkley will break at as high as 12 lb. I have had guys complain that the Orvis breaks too easy. It breaks at what is labeled, and most lines out there over test by quite a bit.
Since Fluorocarbon does not absorb water such lines are both stronger and more durable than ordinary mono. 30% stronger in freshwater. 40% stronger in saltwater. Twice the shock resistance of nylon minimizes break-off at the strike. Reflects very little light - almost invisible in the water. The high density of fluorocarbon makes the line sink rapidly. Fluorocarbon Line is an ideal line for most fishing purposes!
We should all try to remember that we are stewards of our environment. If it were not for conservative minded people 20 years ago, we would not be enjoying the fruits of their labor today. Please remember that a fish is too valuable a resource to only be caught once. (Lee Wulff)

I apologize for not looking you up & telling you what a great show it was, Randy. I really should have. I didn't linger at the Avian booth because I have no need for more decoys. Of course I also had no need for scratchbox calls either, but I came home with 3 of Izzy's. Two will be gifts.ticklishtompro wrote:I posted in the general discussion category. Thanks for coming down Putt, I wish I had been introduced. I was the Avian X decoy guy.
Sorry I missed the boink demo, Charlie. Hurry up & get it posted on your website, so that I can add it to my limited calling arsenal. The toms up here in NE Wis have never heard that call. It almost won't be fair using it on them. I am glad to hear that I'm not the only guy whose calling sets off car alarms.charlie elk wrote:Putt, thanks for bringing up the "boink" you should have stayed a little longer, I was convinced to demonstrate the "boink - bonk" call or whatever name fits it.

I was born in 1986 in Berlin. My work is influenced by my favourite characteristics like oddity, insomnia, perfectionism, aesthetics, and humour. Throughout my studies of Visual Communication at the 'Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee' and the 'Universität der Künste' in Berlin, I deepened my passion for both sides – art and design. The difference between design and art? It is like moving from the living room into the bedroom. Let's say my work is a flat then: I am a desartist.
