Chatham Light milestones
Every season has its highlights, one or two shining moments when the planets align just right, the gods smile on you, and everything just seems to go your way. Some call it luck, others refer to it as a moment when preparation meets opportunity. Call it what you will, when it happens, it's like Christmas morning -- better than the best sex you've ever had, better than hitting the lottery.
This morning GregO and I each caught a 40+ inch bass on the fly. For Greg, this was his first keeper of the season, second fish caught on something he tied, and single largest fish caught on the fly ever. I'm not sure what was a better moment for me: hooking my own fish or watching Greg's face light up as he realized his long run of sub legal bass had come to an end. I'm sitting here next to him now and he keeps asking if someone could please chisel the grin off his face! Greg and I have been fishing together for decades. That we both caught such monsters on the same morning, well, maybe it's just karma. We were not the only ones to take a trophy from the Chatham rips. Craig's bruiser measured in at 42.5". I'll let him tell the tale.... Others from the group most likely hooked up as well. Can't wait to hear the stories. One special moment for me was when an old timer fishing next to me asked what fly I was using after watching Greg land and keep his fish. I showed him Juro's deep sand eel pattern which I've struggled to immitate all this season and just taught Greg last night. The man breathed a heavy sigh and said, "I'm afraid I don't have anything THAT big." I reached around to my pack and pulled out a nice fat greenie for him and wished him well. Glancing over two minutes later, I saw he was on to a linebacker and grinning ear to ear. He hollored over to me, "Got him on the first cast!" His fish came in at 36". I whispered under my breath "thank Juro...." Greg gets the prize today for picking THE best spot in the area -- a jog in the current where the fast water collides with a bar. The Estey swing was all that was needed to get hit after hit. All the spin and bait guys could do was sneer and curse their luck. Hah! We will definitely take this morning with us into the winter and day dream back to a morning when it all came together, when the strong, steady pull of a well fed striper sent wave after wave of addreneline coursing through our veins. It's not always like this, but it's these rare moments of angling bliss that keep us coming back year after year. Thank you to all who have contributed to our learning and may we all meet sometime out on the water. Al & Greg |

RE:Chatham Light milestones
Sounds like a great morning. I also had good luck with that fly, hooked up on a keeper this morning on the back of the beach in Plymouth. I tried about 8 different flys before going with the big boy. The first cast with that monster and BANG Backing. Unfortuantely I lost the fly on the second cast and had no luck for the next 45 minutes. Wish I was into the class of fish you guys found in Chattham.
Juro Thanks for sharing that magic pattern. I'm home bound for the rest of the day so it's off the bench to tie a few more. |
RE:Chatham Light milestones
Not a bad birthday gift, eh GregO?

RE:Chatham Light milestones
You got that right! I have striper marinating & it's goin' on the grill for my guests. What a season highlight to add to the list of what is shaping up to be a great season. Bass River in May, Monomoy, Exotics off Washburn, The Race, and so on. Well, looks like Outer Beaches then Rhodey; hopefully more highligts to come! Can't wait for the rest of the Chatham reports! I wasn't my usual social self this morning, only had a few hours to fish & I think that Rip was calling for me! BTW: My weigh in was 40.5" & 24.8 lbs. Al's fish was released, so accurate measurements could not be taken !! |
RE:Chatham Light milestones
That was a great report and it was good the Lighthouse is still alive. I was planning on next weekend to be down in Chatham and still will ,but I think I know where you guys were from the description... and .... I have to do it... I'm heading down right now.. it's 9:30 PM and I will be down by 11 , up at 4:30 and back in Boston by 12. The weather looks good. That report reminded me of the Lighthouse in late August. I will be on the lookout for any of the crew.
RE:Chatham Light milestones
Congrats you guys! Breaking 40 with the fly rod is noteable under any conditions, doing it from the shore (and in the running water of that specific spot) is certainly a challenge. The deep sandeel does ROCK!
RE:Chatham Light milestones
It was a pleasure to finally meet some people from the board yesterday morning and even more of a pleasure to see Greg's face soon after he landed that 40 + incher. I only talked to Greg and Al for a minute or so both before and after they positioned themselves amongst the crowd that had lined up along the sandbar/rip at the light. Despite the short lived encounter I want them both to know that their performance out there was the highlight of my fishing experience yesterday. Not only did they produce 2 amazing fish but Greg also gave up his prime position in the hot spot on the rip so that he could go help Al land what appeared to be another formidable fish. I appreciate Greg's generosity in giving up that prime spot especially to me. His motivation for leaving his post was obviously his friendship with Al but also a generosity that appears to be common among posters on this board. Thanks Greg...and man you did have a look of delight and quasi-shock on your face when you took off through the water en route to Al and his big fish. My personal experience at Chatham yesterday...skunked. All I took home was a fabulous sunset and some great experiences via Al, Greg, my pal JeffB and JeffG. JeffG, JeffB and I all fished together for the entire morning. We found an opening on the rip that was closer to shore and we gave it our best there. Very few people hooked up except for a few bait slinging guys. We tried intermediate and deep presentations...lots of different flies and even more varied retrieves. Nada. As I was walking to Al and Greg's hot spot I saw a man with his rod bent over double. As I walked closer to the scene I discovered that it was Al. Soon after Greg gave up his spot in the picket line and I had a few shots at the fish that they had enjoyed. Actually, on the way out to the hot spot I talked to the older gent that was carrying his keeper out. He told me the story about the generous men out there that had given him a certain fly. He showed me the fly and told me that he caught his fish on the first cast with that fly. He was thrilled and commented that after many, many days on the water the fish that he had in his hand was only his 3rd keeper of the season. He seemed impressed with the deep sand eel. I was impressed with everyone that I met from the board and I hope to have a chance to fish with you all again in the near future. -Doogue |
RE:Chatham Light milestones
Hi guys,
Here's my account of my trip to Chatham light Saturday morning 9/30/00. I arrived at the light at 6:00 am, noticing that I was a little late by the amount of cars in the lot already. Headed out to the point and started throwing a deep sand eel about 6" to 7" in length. Met up with Al, Greg,and Roop amoung others. Past the news along that Juro was going out on a boat with Bob Pink. We were all disapointed not to be spending sometime him. I kept throwing the big eel but wasn't having any luck. I was joking with Roop calling in the big cows "sue wee sue wee", Roop was telling me about the short quick strip action that He and Juro had talked about. Not having any luck with the big eel, I desided to try a pattern that Dave P. came up with.Its a bunny pattern that I believe he is going to post at some point. He had some succeess with it a couple of weeks earlier, He was throwing a chartreues pattern and the ones I had tied were white. Anyways,I tied one on and on the first cast after a few short quick strips Bang, I gave the fish a few hard wacks and the fight was on. It took out about 150/200 yrds. of backing. I had heard of people bendings hooks by horsing in big fish, so i just kept a lot of pressure on it until ittired.Walking out towards the point i gained my lie back and came up with a 42.5" cow. Thanks goes out to Dave P.,Juro and Roop in putting this one on the grill. I hope to post a pic sometime next week. All my neigbors had striper for dinner,they loved it! Hope to hear other success stories. Lots of Backing, Craig |
RE:Chatham Light milestones
Mike - feelings mutual. This board just seems to have a lot of really good people on it. Jeff G. a thousand thanks for pointing us in the right direction. Craig, I'll be needing to see some pics of that bunny fly Congrats. And JimW, too! A little warm up for RI? Awesome!
Some of the details I left out of my first post: I lost my first hookup which was most likely a 28 - 32" scrapster. Lost him about 20 feet from me so I didn't get a very good look. Great fight that would have alone made my day. Second fish was the big one. Good solid take and a little rod pressure and off she went. Three distinct runs, lots of backing! Ran her down the beach to conserve her energy for the release. Still strong as the QD head came back on the spool, she showed me quite a few sights: her head completely out of the water, a broad back and full belly rolling close in, huge dorsal fin spines splayed out like a sail against the rising sun. Breath taking. But alas, damn barbless hooks, she spit my DDE (deep deadly eel) with Greg's hand on the leader. I've got to remember to keep that rod tip on the water when they get in close..... just as well since less stress is best on a released fish. Greg's fish yielded about 12 lbs of meat and has fed a total of six families to date to my knowledge, one of which was mine tonight. Marinated in olive oil, lemon, garlic and spices; grilled on our camp grill as seen at the Boneclave and served with the very last of the good local corn and a heaping bowl of butternut squash. It was a meal to take you through winter..... wish I could hibernate through the months I can't fish. So what's the plan going to be at the Jamboree next weekend? ...I know where I'll be |
RE:Chatham Light milestones
What a beautiful day.
I slowly & timidly followed a spin rodder out onto the bar before first light. Working out the kinks in the dark, enjoying the cool air, watching the shooting stars, feeling the bait bounce off my waders in the current. It's memories of these kind of days that keep me sane when I'm not in/on the water. I hooked into a decent fish @ 06:30, & was not confident in my ability to safely follow him around the bar in the still very heavy current so I stood my ground & lost him. But, it was still a rush on the 8 weight. I'm sure he was at least 60 - 65 inches. The happines I felt for Craig as I watched him fight & land his first keeper was doubled when I saw that the fish came up to & past his waist. Congrats to Al & Greg as well, you guys definitely were due. Sorry I didn't get to see Jeff G or the others. Nate must have been wearing camo.... Bigcat & I hit a few other spots around Chatham, one situation was just perfect for big fish and we hit it with everything we had & every way you could with a fly rod but still pulled the skunk. What a weird day. Roop |
RE:Chatham Light milestones
An interesting day to say the least.
First, it ws nice to meet a few folks and put faces with names, albiet briefy and in the dark. Roop, I don't know how I missed you out there? Al, I guess I should have followed my own advice and hit the edge of the bar with you guys--instead I took my time down to cast along the way (a mistake). I got some great pictures of sunrise and a few will no doubt have the picket line of anglers on the left hand side. What I regret more than not taking a big ol' cow myself was getting a picture of two elated anglers dragging their prize catches up the bar to bury them in the sand--it wasn't until afterwards that I realized it was teh folks I had just met up in the parking lot--sorry guys. It was nice to fish the morning wiht Doogue and Jeff, but our jumbo fish were not to be. As we walked back to the cars at 9:15 I took a few final casts and managed one small fish just to "get the skunk off my back." Doogue, thanks again for the jump at the lot--guess it's time for a new battery. Simply a beautiful day all around, made even better by meeting some good fishing folks. I am off to my final wedding of the season next weekend and am therefore out of commission until the 14th. Hope to meet and fish with a few more folks before season's end--perhaps in Rhody. Jeff G. |

Jon Stewart will once again be lending his comedic talents to the organization behind the Grammys when hosting the 2013 MusiCares Person of the Year gala, which will honor Bruce Springsteen's artistic and philanthropic achievements.

Stewart, a fan of The Boss, hosted the Grammys in 2001 and 2002. He will join a number of famous acts at the sold-out event taking place at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Feb. 8, two days before the awards show.
Neil Young, Kenny Chesney, Ben Harper, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Tom Morello, Mumford & Sons and many more will perform to raise money for the MusiCares Foundation — a charity created by the Recording Academy to provide emergency financial assistance for struggling members of the music community.
Springsteen is the latest music legend to join the group's 22 previous honorees, including Tony Bennett, Bono, Neil Diamond, Aretha Franklin, Billy Joel, Elton John, Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Sting, Barbra Streisand, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder and Neil Young.
The "Born in the U.S.A." singer performed the 12-12-12 concert to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Sandy.

A diverse lineup of artists pays tribute to the late singer-songwriter.
In the '70s, John Denver built a career by recording songs that appealed to pretty much everybody but rock snobs.
The Music Is You: A Tribute to John Denver (* * ½ out of four) honors the singer, who died in a 1997 self-piloted plane crash, and takes a similar approach.
The lineup includes nouveau folkies (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Old Crow Medicine Show, Allen Stone), country singers (Mary Chapin Carpenter, Emmylou Harris, who sings Take Me Home, Country Roads with Brandi Carlile) and alt-rockers (My Morning Jacket, J Mascis), as well as two mainstream rock acts — Train, which plays the signature hit Sunshine on My Shoulders straight, and Dave Matthews, who emphasizes the longing in the lesser-known Take Me to Tomorrow.
LISTEN UP: Band Perry, Petula Clark, Tyler the Creator
PLAYLIST: Chris Brown, plus 10 more
Treated respectfully, Denver's hits generally fare well, while a few covers, like that by Matthews and I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado by Carpenter, may even improve on the originals.

Tenth in our series of Eleven Trends for 2011 is a prediction that this year we will come to realize that job creation and retention in the creative industries – is a major contributor to how to create, save, and sustain creative cities, and, as a result, to our economic recovery.
There are roadblocks. And they need to be addressed if we can fulfill this vision.
One problem is that a large portion of the creative sector hasn't been holding onto jobs. Nonprofit cultural institutions have cut their payrolls to the bone. Despite the job-retention intentions of the Federal stimulus funds passed along to nonprofits through Federal appropriations to state arts agencies, the nonprofit creative sector is not adding extra staff. Even foundations that fund creativity through their grants don't ask grantees how many jobs they have created in their organizations.
At the same time, those foundations have also been investing less in the arts. As I have discussed in previous blog posts, working capital is at what could be an all time low.
So when we talk about the ability of the creative sector to rebuild and sustain our cities, are we simply talking about the so-called ripple impact of the arts onto other sectors – the waiter jobs created when people eat out before going to a performance?
This is the point: the creative sector has been limping and hasn't been sustained through any systemic approach. No one has provided realistic growth goals for the creation of jobs in the creative sector.
But at the same time, the creative sector has real potential to create jobs, lots of them. Not jobs based on ripple effect spending that supports, for example, x number of jobs in hotels or restaurants that are near performing arts centers, but true creative industry jobs. (Of note, these are not predominantly nonprofit, educational, or public sector jobs.) The true creative jobs are commercial musicians playing gigs and making recordings, tattoo artists and chefs, game designers and film screen writers, commercial and industrial designers, photographers and animators. They are custom furniture makers and stone fabricators. They are clothing designers and the creatives sketching out newly aerodynamic running shoes. They are videographers, website designers, the writers of sitcoms and documentaries, the entertainers at the ever-expanding number of casinos, the comedy club owners. They are the architects and designers who have hung on through the tough times, the landscapers who have introduced beauty back into urban neighborhoods. They are the novelists and ghost writers, the technical writers and the designers of tomorrows apps. Even the precious few music and theater critics left.
It has been a long time since Richard Florida started talking about them (us) all as a sector, but our industry still is just as fragmented and splintered a sector as it was a decade ago. We all need to work to make this happen.
Who represents this commercial sector so capable of growing in response to society's quest for the new, cool, and aesthetically next thing? Who gathers them together as an industry to lobby and win economic incentives? Who represents them in seeking their start-up and business building capital? Who creates industrial parks for their start-ups?
And, if we figure that out, how does the sector go about growing jobs in all these fields and careers?
Here are some ideas.
Our industry should champion for economic development councils, redevelopment agencies, job corps and workforce development entities to take this on. We should build a case for them to stake their own economic development goals on it. We should challenge and support them if they pledged to grow the creative sector jobs in their town by x% a year for 10 years. We need to build this partnership.
As an industry, we have to develop and sell a portfolio of investment strategies. For example: the start-up funds for those musicians needing pre-major label recordings, or the business growth funds to capitalize the potter whose new lines could go commercial. We need to show our partners in economic development the advantages of investment pools for backing local film makers on their next fund, and backing the next playwright on the next play. We need to demonstrate to individuals that investments in the future of artists can have viable returns. We need to push for annual creative industry job fairs, standing industry round tables, and industry promotions. We need to promote the use of government programs like AmeriCorps to provide on-the-job training and career growth in creative industries, and job bank resources.
We need to work to update the funding and grant paradigm of the last decade that placed audience growth as a top priority and job reduction as the top necessity, moving now to favor a job growth and capital growth as the dual top priorities so that nonprofit cultural and creative institutions can do their part in building the industry. We need strong metrics, however, to make sure that both the jobs and the capital do what they should to develop new excellent product that in turn garners additional earned and contributed income. And we need to change the all-too-common mindset that still thinks healthy cultural nonprofits are those that just manage to scrape by.
We need to broaden our concepts of commissions and the use of funding streams such as percent for public art, to provide start-up opportunities and portfolio development for every type of creative. Decades ago, it was not uncommon for cities to commission symphonies or plays. Governments have long commissioned sculpture and other public visual art. Let's look at commissioning the full range of creative work, and let's also create the comprehensive rosters of creatives so they can advertise and promote their own excellence.
In many states and more than a few communities, government arts agencies have already become a part of economic development departments. Some have begun moving into this more comprehensive direction. But it is still viewed as a sidebar to the core task of traditional grants to nonprofit cultural organizations. But rather than ad hoc movement in this direction, let's now go for the logic-path of realignment to the creative industry of today. Let's focus on jobs, backed by working capital. Let's treat the creative sector as what it can be, a true engine of economic development.

The Canadiens evened the score in their playoff series with the Ottawa Senators Friday night at the Bell Centre, despite some key players missing from their lineup.
The Habs were without Lars Eller, who suffered a concussion and facial and dental fractures in Thursday's game when he was hit by Senators defenceman Eric Gryba, as well as Brian Gionta and Max Pacioretty, who are out with upper body injuries.
"Everybody thought we were going to be down about what happened last night and with the loss of important players," coach Michel Therrien said after the Canadiens' 3-1 victory.
"You need character for that. And again tonight, (the) team showed a lot of character," Therrien said.
"This is a character win for us. This is a big win," said defenceman P.K. Subban.
"I think our coach sent the message that no matter who's in the lineup it's about our attitude," Subban said.
"And I think we had a great attitude today. We went out there and we executed and we did what we had to do."
Therrien praised goaltender Carey Price's performance along with forward Ryan White who had three hits and scored the game's first goal.
"He brings the intensity that we're looking for and also that we need in the playoffs," Therrien said of White.
"I really like the way we played our last two games… tonight we got the result," the coach said.

NBA: Ginobili, Diaw help Spurs get even with Mavs 93-89
Published 4:08 am, Tuesday, April 29, 2014
DALLAS — Boris Diaw's big third quarter wasn't enough to hold off a Dallas comeback.
The San Antonio veteran's decisive shot in the final minute was.
Diaw hit a go-ahead 3-pointer for the last of his 17 points, Manu Ginobili scored 23 and the top-seeded Spurs held on to beat the Mavericks 93-89 in Game 4 on Monday night, pulling even in their first-round playoff series.
"You've got to give up something," said Dirk Nowitzki, who was running at Diaw as the shot was released. "That was a tough one."
Just like Vince Carter's buzzer-beating 3-pointer was for the Spurs two days earlier, when Dallas went up 2-1 with a one-point win. The difference was, the Mavericks had a chance to do something about Diaw's shot after San Antonio went up 90-87 with 32 seconds remaining.
Nowitzki, who had 19 points, had a putback on a missed 3 by Monta Ellis to get Dallas within 90-89 with 19 seconds to go. But the Mavericks let nearly 10 seconds run off the clock before fouling Ginobili.
Ginobili missed one of the free throws, giving Ellis a chance to tie on a driving layup. Ellis, who led the Mavericks with 20 points, missed again to finish a 6-of-20 shooting night.
"I had a good look at the end but it didn't go down," Ellis said.
The Spurs, who led by 20 points in the third quarter, regained the home-court advantage by getting a split of two games in Dallas, matching what the eighth-seeded Mavericks did in San Antonio.
Game 5 is Wednesday night in San Antonio, and the Spurs are going back tied because a bench that's been quiet this postseason outscored Dallas' reserves 50-30.
"We knew that we could do better," Diaw said. "We didn't play the same like we did during the regular season."
Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter had double-doubles for the Spurs, with Duncan getting 14 points and 10 rebounds and Splitter adding 10 points and 12 boards.
San Antonio, which led from early in the second quarter until late in the fourth, was down 83-82 when former teammate DeJuan Blair was ejected for kicking Splitter in the back of the head after getting called for a foul when he got tangled up with the San Antonio center as both players fell to the court.
Ginobili, who had five assists, made the technical free throw for an 83-all tie, and Splitter hit both free throws on the foul for an 85-83 San Antonio lead.
Blair had a big hand in getting Dallas back in the game, scoring all 12 of his points and grabbing nine of his 11 rebounds in the second half.
"It's real disappointing because with me in the game our momentum was going great and when that happened and that got me out of there, that was a big deal," said Blair, who said the kick was unintentional.
San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich challenged his team to play with more "nastiness" after falling behind in the series with two straight losses, and his Spurs responded in the first half.
The best display was in a dominant second quarter, when the Spurs outscored the Mavericks 32-13. Kawhi Leonard intended to swat Carter's driving shot into the stands. Instead, Patty Mills dived into the seats to save it, sending the Spurs on a fast break that ended with a miss by Tony Parker, who had 10 points of 5-of-14 shooting.
Parker's miss didn't matter, though, because the Mavericks were in the middle of a 5-minute scoreless stretch that included eight straight misses to cap a 2-of-18 shooting spell from late in the first quarter to late in the second. Dallas shot 21 percent in the second quarter.
Diaw scored eight points on 4-of-5 shooting in the third quarter, and looked like he was going to be able to hold off the Dallas surge.
"Manu and Boris changed the entire game," Duncan said. "They kept us from blowing a big lead."
Dallas hurt itself with missed free throws. Samuel Dalembert was 1 of 6 from the line two nights after he hit two late to get Dallas even in a back-and-forth final minute. The Mavericks were 18 of 28 from the line.
NOTES: Both teams wore black socks in support of the Los Angeles Clippers as the NBA investigates racist comments that owner Donald Sterling is alleged to have made in a taped conversation. ... Dalembert had 15 rebounds but just three points. ... The Spurs improved to 25-0 on the road when leading after three quarters. They are 53-1 overall. ... Nowitzki was held under 20 points in a fourth straight playoff game for the first time since his first postseason in 2001.

Journal Journal: Comcast Sells Digital Voice Subscriber Info to Telemarketers 1
I recently decided to get the 'Comcast Triple Play' package. Less than a day after the technician installed the VoIP terminal in my home, telemarketers were calling my new number and asking for me by my full name, at the rate of 10 calls per day. Obviously Comcast had sold my new information. A quick search revealed that quite a few others experienced the exact same problem. This week I called Comcast to complain. In addition to giving me a new number, they agreed to flag it for No Telemarketing. We'll see how that works out, but so far the new number has not been subjected to telemarketing. It's definitely disconcerting that telemarketers can get your information and call you within hours of provisioning, but need 90 days to update their DoNotCall.gov lists.

BRUSSELS, 9 September 2009 – Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide's Brussels office has been awarded a contract by the European Commission (EU) to develop a pan-European campaign to promote biodiversity. Biodiversity is a top EU priority and a looming post-Copenhagen issue. The campaign will launch in early 2010, the UN designated International Year of Biodiversity.
The win coincides with the launch of Ogilvy's global sustainability offering, Ogilvy Earth.
"This is an incredible engagement for Ogilvy Brussels and we are excited to build upon our growing cadre of sustainability work," said Natalie Todd, managing director of Ogilvy PR/ Brussels. "Biodiversity is fundamental to the world we live in, but few people understand what it is and the benefits it brings. At Ogilvy, we pride ourselves on designing creative campaigns that raise awareness and promote understanding of complex issues. We are delighted to have the opportunity to help the European Commission communicate with citizens on this important matter."
The award of the biodiversity campaign follows a number of high-profile environmental wins for the agency. Ogilvy most recently participated in the launch of "Hopenhagen," a global campaign designed to generate worldwide support for an agreement at the Copenhagen climate change conference. The campaign, which was previewed to critical acclaim at Cannes, launches at the UN in New York in September (www.hopenhagen.org).
"Since the launch of Ogilvy Earth earlier this year, we are developing more and more campaigns with sustainability at the centre of their strategic core" said Ash Coleman-Smith, managing director for Ogilvy PR/EMEA. "The combination of our global network and sustainable development experts meant that setting up a sustainability practice was a no-brainer. Clients and colleagues are equally excited by the range of tools and services Ogilvy Earth offers."
Other recent wins include the interactive climate change campaign "Join the changers.eu" for the European Parliament's Alliance of Liberal Democrats in Europe, media relations for the EU's 2009 Green Week "Climate Change: Act and Adapt" and promotion of the three-day European "Velo-City" event held this year in Brussels.

In a development which looks like it comes from an episode of Red Dwarf, researchers from the Carnegie Mellon university have developed a surveillance system which spies on humans and can predict what might happen next.
According to Parity News the researchers have been developing the spying software for the military. Dubbed Mind's Eye, it recognises human activities in video and can predict what might happen next.
This means that the authorities can be on the scene before anything nasty happens. Or people can be arrested before a crime takes place. If the software gets good, it can predict if a child will commit the crime at the moment of birth and make sure it pays for it, long before it even thinks of it.
Curiously this is exactly the software which was demonstrated in an episode of Red Dwarf, where such predictive software sabotaged a repair on the assumption that the human crew would stuff it up.
In a paper with the catchy title "Using Ontologies in a Cognitive-Grounded System: Automatic Action Recognition in Video Surveillance", the researchers describe an artificial intelligence cognitive engine that automatically detects and interprets a person's actions using a surveillance feed.
It is all based on previous research in the field of surveillance and specifically in object recognition.
They have also incorporated activity forecasting that tries to understand what humans will do based on their physical trajectories.
Currently, the main cost associated with CCTV surveillance are the people needed to analyse the imagery.
If this sort of software works then local councils will be tempted to use it to replace humans involved in imagery analysis. What could possibly go wrong?

Gents, Here's a new challenge to think about. I have reloaded for my M70 in 7mm Mag for a number of years now and have never had the problem I'm about to describe. A friend of mine also has a 7mm Mag but in a Remington 700. He's fairly new to rifles and I have been happy to build some bullets for him. But we ran into an issue. I recently loaded up 20 rounds for him. 16 of those 20 rounds fed no problem, the other 4 however did not feed quite properly. He was able to push the bolt all the way forward but only barely could he close the bolt. We made some measurements of the brass. We found that the measurement from the case head to the start and end of the shoulder were somewhere around 0.050 - 0.060 inches longer on the rounds that would not feed versus those that would. The overall measurements even for the rounds that would feed were slightly longer than specs in my loading manuals. Not by much, but some. Obviously for the rounds that did not feed, they were quite longer than what would be expected. The OAL for the brass was under the spec of 2.5" for all cases measured. Now this was on brand new Remington brass which I ran through the FL resizer. For giggles I had some brass waiting to be resized and I ran those through after ensuring the die was setup properly. Same results, it looks like my resizing die is not bumping the shoulder properly. Do sizing dies wear out? Was the die perhaps just bad to begin with but it took loading for my friend's Remington to find out? Quite perplexing.
Phil not sure if its your dies or not I've never have had a set of dies wear out before but I replace them every so many years and just sell the old ones on ebay for spare parts, but don't disregard your press as well you didn't state what type of press you were using it could be that its getting old.
Phil, There are 2 measurements to check to find the source of the problem: First check the headspacing of the loaded rounds v fired rounds. A stoney point / Hornady head space gauge is very handy for this. Just be sure that you are using the correct insert (0.420") for 7mm. You may find that the headspacing is too long. If so, crank down you sizing die to give you 0.002" bump back of the shoulder from the average you measure on your fired cases. Second (and more likely if you are on your 3rd, 4th or 5th loading of the brass) is widening of the case just above the belt. Using a caliper or micrometer, measure the diameter of the case just above the belt and compare it to a factory loaded round. Because of the belt, dies for 7mm Rem Mag (and 375 H&H, 300 Win Mag, etc), the die cannot go PAST that point so the area does not resize. The remedy for this is easy, but not cheap: Innovative Technologies makes a special die just for resizing this are of belted mags. The die costs about $90, but works like a charm. If the base to shoulder measurement cannot be corrected by lowering your sizing die, then it is truly worn out. If you need a set of RCBS dies, send me PM. I upgraded from RCBS to Redding and retired my RCBS set after loading 350 rounds. browningbbr
Resizing Belted Magnum Calibers For shooters that are still wondering how to make your belted cases chamber with 100% reliability, the Innovative Technologies website shows why and how the Belted Magnum Collet Resizing Die works. It also answers a long list of handloading questions . . . . like why you want to always headspace on the shoulder and not on the belt.
Those .050-.060 of an inch of deviation just can't be. Your cases are being formed in the chamber and would all come out the same. You should be measuring the case that didn't fit before it was fired, not after. Are you positive you're full length resizing? Is the ram on your press slightly camming over when you resize....meaning when the ram goes up is the shell holder touching the bottom of your die with some pressure. When the handle goes all the way down you would feel a very slight bounce just before it bottoms out. The other thing is, are you using a crimping die or are you inadvertantly over roll crimping your shells during the bullet seating process. If you over crimp you can actually collapse the shoulder ever so slightly to where you wouldn't see it. This would cause the bolt to close very tightly. Be sure to back off your seater die enough so that there is either no crimp or a very slight crimp, if you want it. Dies don't wear out but you may have a defectve die. Hope this helps.
I had totally forgot about this thread 1OBH. I actually figured out the problem just recently. The gunsmith at the range I shoot at showed me a trick for FL sizing. Basically you use a lit match to soot up the neck and shoulder of a spent round that was fired in the rifle being reloaded for. You bring the sizing die down to the shell holder but then BACK it out a small amount, not the other way as you'd normally do. Run the brass through the die taking note of where "clean" mark is on the brass. The first go around the clean mark should be on the neck and not on the shoulder. If there's no mark at all, then you backed out just a bit too much. Ever so slowly you keep screwing the die in until you see the soot just being removed on the shoulder. At this point you take the empty brass and put it in the rifle and see how the bolt closes. If it closes without it being tight, you now set the lock ring on your die. If it's still a bit tight, screw the die in just a very small amount and size the brass again. Once again you check the brass in the rifle. Keep doing this until you find the sweet spot. What you end up with here is a FL sized brass without creating excessive headspace. This will in turn result in minimizing case stretch and increased brass life. And this is why my 'smith was showing me this. I took this new lesson and gave it a whirl on brass being sized for my M70 in .300WM. I found out that I just had to barely screw the die in just past the point it contacted the shell holder. If I followed the RCBS instructions to turn the die in 1/8-1/4 turn beyond this point, I'd be bumping the shoulder significantly more than I needed to. So we tried this on my buddy's Remington. As it turns out if I only turn the die in less than 1/4 turn after touching the shell holder then the brass would be tight on closing, i.e. there wasn't enough headspace. But right at 1/4 turn in, the brass is properly sized. Bottom line is my buddy's barrel while it was confirmed to be within spec by the gunsmith, it is apparently cut with less headspace then other rifles. We resized 50 rounds this past week, some new brass and others previously shot, and loaded them up. He cycled a bunch of these rounds and all feed properly now.
I regret to inform you but what the gunsmith explained to you is not full length resizing. What he explained is partial resizing. By just touching the shoulder with the die you are only bumping the shoulder back .001-.002 of an inch, which is fine if that ammo is going in the same gun all the time. Every chamber is different and partially resized brass may or may not fit other chambers. I partial resize all the time because it is condusive to increased accuracy, but that ammo is specific to one gun. Full length resizing on the other hand brings the case back down to SAAMI specifications. So for instance, if you wanted to share ammo with someone or use the same ammo for a few rifles you owned chambered for the same round, you would most likely full length resize. That match trick the gunsmith showed you is very very old school and was done in the days when there were no bump gauges. If you're serious about reloading this is a cheap enough tool you should own and very simple to use. I use this one from Hornady Hornady Manufacturing Company :: Reloading :: Metallic Reloading :: Tools & Gauges :: Lock-N-Load Gauges-Formerly Stoney Point :: Headspace Gauges :: Headspace Gauge Kits :: Lock-N-Loadï½® Headspace Kit With Body 1 Each Your buddy has a tight chamber or a chamber very close to spec, that's why he requires full length resized brass...totally fine. A word of caution...DO NOT partial resize if you're going after dangerous game.
1ObsessedHunter ....... An ordinary Full Length die can set the case shoulder back -.001" if you set die height accurately. The Digital Headspace Gauge helps make this a very easy adjustment, and it works on ALL different calibers without requiring a collection of expensive bushings. I agree that reliable chambering is never an option. If you use a NK sizing die, keep in mind that rifle cases are tapered and the body also needs some resizing. I designed and patented the Digital Headspace Gauge (and others) that are now used by thousands of shooters.
I quickly jumped on your website...that headspace guage is beautiful. I'll look at your website more in depth over the weekend....thanks
Well technically you're correct, but it's still better than just neck sizing. I do agree with you that this method of sizing is not something to do when loading for DG. You don't want to find out due to temp changes that a round suddenly won't chamber. I guess what I hope some future reader will get out of this is the somewhat lacking RCBS instructions. 1/8 - 1/4 turn is significant and 1/8 may not be enough. The other side of this is if you go 1/4 and you're reloading for shooting regularly, you may be shortening the life of your brass unnecessarily.

Spoiler for GUNDAM 00 Episode 20:
UC: Gouf. You can't beat old-school whoopin' like that. Not to mention whippin'! xD Gelgoog. Made of pure win, seriously... I've seen them built! >_> <_< In my dreams... GM Striker. Kind of like the Deathscythe.... It's a cool suit for Melee. I love it personally. I'm not really partial to CE, so I have no favorite. Somehow their suits just don't fit in my list anymore. Deathscythe, of course. Kampfer, a great suit with a lovely appearance. The Flags are a beautiful piece of work as well, especially considering they seem to be the Anno Domini's V-Project suit. In this case though, the GUNDAM models are vastly superior to the RX-78-8, with the Flags being superior also, but still nowhere near as advanced. They're a 'skillful pilots' win-suit. Lastly of course the Exia is also made of win, sprinkled with pixiedust and a bunch of other fictional dusts.

There's no definitive speed given for either unit other than the known acceleration of the Victory 2 being 20 Gs. The only clue we have is an earlier Minovsky Drive System used on the Mother Vanguard in the Crossbone Gundam series, which enables it to travel from Earth to Jupiter in a mere 150 hours (6.25 days) where as normal ships would take at least 3 months, and that's only when both planets are at their closest proximity to eachother.

'Twilight' author Stephenie Meyer was asked to interview Kristen Stewart for the November issue of Glamour magazine. Stephenie hoped that knowing Kristen for all these years would make her a little more at ease than she normally is in interviews. Glamour gives us a tiny peek at the interview.
Stephenie writes:
We talk and talk, and as we speak, Kristen curls her legs under her, never entirely at rest, leaning forward when she's enthusiastic. She's animated and passionate about any project she believes in, yet she's wary of how she might be perceived. I hope that in this interview something is captured of the Kristen I know, the real girl rather than the movie star.
Kristen's best relationship advice:
"Hmm…good relationship advice for me tends to be being honest and knowing yourself. Don't be an a**hole. That's my advice. Don't be mean. Don't take sh*t. Don't settle."
Take a peek after the jump if you're dying to know what Kristen is wearing in the shots. Also, on their Facebook page you can view a video of Kristen and also enter for a chance to win a trip for two to see the premiere of 'Breaking Dawn'!
What Kristen is Wearing:
Photographed by Matthias Vriens-McGrath in Culver City, California, Kristen appears on Glamour's November cover wearing a striped Bottega Veneta top, Current/Elliott jeans and white gold and diamond necklaces by Martin Katz and Jordan Alexander at Fragments. And from her inside spread, Kristen wears a Sosume white T-shirt, Peter Som lace shorts and Alexander Wang shoes and she wears a lace dress by Stella McCartney, a De Beers white gold and diamond bracelet and Ash boots.

ROCCAT Kave 5.1 Surround Gaming Headset Review
ROCCAT Kave 5.1 Surround Gaming Headset Review

Kave 5.1 Stereo Performance
Stereo Mode Testing
We will be testing stereo mode on a laptop based on the Intel 965GM chipset which features Intel "Extreme" audio.
In "Movie" mode, we listened to a variety of music tracks we are well familiar with to evaluate performance while listening to music.
Unfortunately, we found the stereo performance of this headset during music playback was lacking. Listening to "Anthology" by Thrice, the entire midrange spectrum sounded tinny and had a hollow texture that colored the entire experience with an unpleasant undertone. The highs came through quite well in this mode, with sounds like cymbals and higher-pitched guitar riffs establishing a well-formed upper spectrum. But Dustin Kensrue's vocals suffered from the muffled midrange, sounding as if he was singing into a tin can and losing much of the quality of his voice. The bass in this mode was also underwhelming, which can be a positive note for some purists, but I found the experience lacking the punch that I wanted when the harder portions of the song hit their stride.
For our gaming tests, we first loaded up "Alan Wake", the newly-released thriller for PC. Being first developed as an Xbox 360 exclusive, Alan Wake finally made it to the PC nearly two years later and relies heavily on lighting and sound to create a nightmarish atmosphere, so a quality set of headphones or speakers really helps enhance the experience. The Kave did a good job of reproducing the atmospheric effects, with the weather effects and sound effects coming through clear and crisp. We could even detect some positional cues, with dialogue and sounds coming from behind the character sounding somewhat like they were coming from the appropriate direction. The flaws with the midrange production did affect our experience here, though. Many of the sounds suffered from the same tinny or muted sound in the midrange that we noticed during music playback before.
Next, we tested Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. The newest version of the Hot Pursuit franchise again places drivers in a variety of supercars and souped-up police cars, with both factions trying to control the roads of Seacrest County. This version of the game was released for PC in November, 2010 and features a built-in 5.1 audio engine. We jumped into a Dodge Charger and hit the streets. The sounds of the engine surrounded us and the spectrum of highs and lows were enjoyable, but the midrange lacked some clarity. It was difficult for us in this game to detect where car sounds were coming from when competing racers were behind us, however. The music soundtrack to this game is very energetic, and we did enjoy hearing the music while racing.
We next wanted to test the gaming capabilities of the Kave in stereo mode in a FPS, so we started up Battlefield 3. Battlefield 3 is still one of the most popular first person shooters on the market today, and being able to quickly detect the location of enemies becomes essential to survival in a game like this. So, we were particularly interested to see how the positional effects of a game like this would sound in the Kave in stereo mode. During an intense multiplayer battle, we really paid attention to how we could detect sounds around us, and we found that the Kave did an adequate job of recreating surround effects, but it was difficult at times to locate precisely where sounds were coming from. The sounds on the battlefield of gunfire, vehicles, and explosions were recreated with sufficient clarity and accuracy, but we did find the bass to be a bit lacking the satisfying punch that we want during a game.
With the stereo tests done, we wanted to see how this headset lives up to its name during 5.1 use.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Talk
- - The weekend adventures - long.
The weekend adventures - long. Just wanted to share. This Saturday a new horse was introduced in our herd - Raphael. A 15 years old chesnut gelding, Dutch Warmblood, a beautiful mover and a wonderful personality. He had been stalled all his life, since he used to be a stud for a long time, and he had had little contact with other horses, so the introduction to the life in a 24/7 pasture boarded herd was planned to be very gradual, with overnight stalling. So yesterday the owner decided to let Raphael with some of our horse-friendliest horses in a seperate paddock, one at a time, to start making his first relationships. Including my gelding, Snickers, who is usually extremely friendly and playful with other horses, though being quite dominant. Everything went well with the two other geldings and a mare Raphael was introduced to, and then Snickers was let in the paddock. At first, he acted fine, they just sniffed each other, trotted along and showed off. But then Raphael decided that he wanted to come to me (I was in the corner of the paddock, to observe the situation and help out if anything went wrong), and came straight ahead to sniff my hand. Well, it turned out that Snickers is even more stud-like than I had thought (this behaviour sometimes shows, when he shows off to other horses when I'm around and such). He squealed and charged at Raphael, chomped in his neck and dragged him along the paddock, not letting go, stomping with front legs, until Raphael showed submission. O_o Luckily, Raphael was not injured, only his self-respect, but Snickers continued to surprised me, stomping the ground, arching his neck and trotting in a passage-like manner along the fence, as Raphael was taken out of the paddock to be stalled. Strange, that a horse that has been gelded at age 1, can still be this "studdy" and act like he was protecting a mare. Later in that day Raphael's owner let him to graze in a separate section of the pastures, where other horses would not chase him, and went away. Then, one moment he was there, quite calm, and the other - gone, with three sections of the electric fence totally destroyed. Without a sound. And right into the forest. :shock: I saddled up Snickers in a flash, another girl did the same with her gelding, we grabbed some ropes and went searching for Raphael, scanning the area, roads and the forest for good couple of hours, until our horses could go no further. But all the way they acted as perfect as if they knew, how serious the situation is. No spooking, no protesting, just going as fast as asked - anywhere, anyhow, stopping and turning instantly. But no luck with finding Raphael - nobody had seen him, there were no hoofprints on the ground, nothing. Went back, changed horses, went again, other people scanned the main roads with cars - still nothing. And the worst part - there are many swamps in the area. Large and dangerous enough to take a horse. And it became dark, making the search impossible. So we quit for the night and other riders started out before dawn with their horses, to search the borders of the swamps and check for any signs of Raphael being there. And we received good news about an hour ago - Raphael entered the yard of a farm some 15 kilometers from our barn. He had wandered through forests, by the swamp and over a large and busy highway, moving towards the direction of his previous home. Poor horse, I can't imagine, how scared he was. But our prayers were answered and I am just so overwhelmed with emotions, that I had to share. :) Cookies for everyone who reads this! |
730 Attachment(s) Wow what a day! It's strange that he treats you like his mare though infront of other horses! Maybe Snickers was giving him signals and he ignored them and then went over to you, so Snickers decided to discipline him. We'll never know. But I'm glad Raphael was found! Poor horse, lol.. |
We now know a little about the road he went - it's hard, with lots of rocks, so he'll have a rough way back home, but it has to be done and then he'll be once more safe with his owner... What a night to experience! And Snickers once even charged at the lead stallion in his previous home when he thought the stallion was coming to greet me. And beat the stallion. I even don't know wether this can be and should be corrected, because he does this in free circumstances, just acting as it is natural to him. They would do this the same if he'd just protect a real mare. However, he isn't too interested in deeper relationships with other horses and prefers sticking with humans. Strange guy, lol. :D |

The Ferrari driver reportedly hit the median and created a reaction that caused the other cars in the lineup to crash, according to Japanese media (translated).No one was seriously hurt in the crash, but the vehicular carnage is severe. Video from the Japanese TV report above, as well as photos from Twitter and other news sites shows a trail of expensive Italian metal dotted with Japanese and German cars.AdvertisementIt's slightly difficult to tell from pictures, but the Ferraris involved appear to include multiple F355s, F430s (including a Scuderia), an F360, and some form of F512.Other cars include the aforementioned Mercedes-Benz products (including a CL600-ish type vehicle), a car described as a Lamborghini Diablo, a Nissan Skyline, and one Toyota Prius.The accident shut down the road for six hours as cleanup crews tried to untangle the mess. We'll update as we get more information.Sponsored(Thanks to everyone for the tip!)Reply230 repliesLeave a reply
