CHRIS in CA
I have worn a fanny pack tool belt for many years. As an enduro racer I just carried minimal basic tools not too heavy. Now as a trail and dual sport rider I carry a lot more. I had the MSR Baja pack with side bag and it got to weighing well over 20lbs. I had to keep it really tight squeezing my guts to avoid the fanny pack from sliding down, I like the Ogio vest as my most frequently used tools or whatever are right there in front, no need to remove the vest. I had to remove the fanny pack to do anything including taking a leak, haha. With pockets front and rear I am able to balance the weight unlike a regular back pakc and give the pack a neutral feel, it does not move around. 70oz water bladder is good. One thing I realized on the first cool ride was my jacket was too tight to wear over the pack. Moving jacket under the vest makes things a bit too warm. So still figuring out the best set up for cold weather. I dinged off one star as there should be tie down rings on the back to secure a jacket or other clothing. No pocket is big enough to hold full size jacket. Overall I really like this vestRead All Reviews

This bag is a good quality item, I personally don't have a need for wheels as I'm happy to carry my gear. Helmet pocket is a bit small and is a little difficult to get the helmet in. (Shift helmet) wishing I had got the bag with wheels nowRead All Reviews

Growing up on is father's cattle ranch, and while attending high school, he learned to fly in the pre-WW II Civilian Pilot Training program.
I got out of Sparks High School in 1940," he said.
A year later, while goose hunting with friends at Washoe Lake, he heard about Pearl Harbor.
Hearing the news he said, "I went over and told them to take my geese and I said I'm going to enlist."
At first, his father refused to sign for him.
"And I said, 'OK, I'll just forge your signature'. Anyway he signed and I enlisted in the Army Infantry as that was the only way you could get in back in those days," he said.
In Arizona, he transferred to what was called the Army Air Corps, which became the Army Air Force then the Air Force after WW II.
After flight school, Williams checked out in the P-40 and then headed for Europe in 1943 where he joined the first unit to get the P-51 fighter.
Assigned to the 362nd Squadron, part of the 357th Fighter Group, he flew with several aces including Leonard "Kit," Carson, Bud Anderson and Chuck Yeager, who broke the sound barrier after the war.
Williams first flew as wingman for Carson.
Asked about that he laughed and said, "Carson said to me, 'Williams, you're flying my wing. Your job is to protect my ass and if I look back there and I don't see you, don't bother coming back to the base.'"
His primary mission was ground support but one day he encountered a German ME 262, the world's first operational jet.
"I'm flying near France and I saw what I thought was one so, me like a dummy, went after it," he said. "Well he just made big circles around me, he got off to my left, pulled right up along side of me, waived and took off. And I couldn't touch him."
Back home he helped form the Nevada National Guard, attended UNR, graduated, with a Pre-Law degree in 1949 and was called up for the Korean War.
"I was the first one to go as I was the only one qualified in the P51," he said.
Again he flew ground support but was tasked with an unusual mission. During negotiations for the armistice, both sides agreed an unarmed aircraft could fly along the demarcation line to confirm everyone was on their respective sides.
"So I would fly up and down once a week and these guys (North Koreans) would be lying in the sunshine and flipping us the American bird," he said. "That bothered me so I got a six pack of Coke bottles and the next time I threw a Coke bottle at them."
Eventually Williams was busted for this and threatened with grounding if he did it again.
Coming home, he married his wife Virginia, transitioned into jets then, with the Boot Strap Program, was sent to the University of New Mexico to complete his degree in Civil Engineering.
After graduation, in 1961, he was a civil engineer at a base in St. John's Newfoundland. There a general and his base commander got him to switch from a reserve to a regular commissioned officer.
As the Air Force needed engineers, it was back to New Mexico then to Stanford University.
"At Stanford, he did two masters at the same time, one in civil engineering and one in industrial engineering," Mrs. Williams said. "It had never been done before and we're not sure there was another idiot that did it since."
To receive both degrees, Williams had to appear before a special board and then was awarded them in 1966.
He later was posted to PACAF headquarters in Hawaii, then to Vietnam where he flew missions in F-4 Phantom jets.
"I went from the 8th AF to the 7th HQ," he said.
Finally, he was Deputy Base Commander at Edwards Air Force base, which he really enjoyed. His boss was General Bob White, the first "Winged Astronaut," and Williams became friends with Colonel Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon.
Three years later, despite being on the list to become a Brigadier General, Williams wanted to retire.
When asked his wife told him, "You've done enough Harry, you've been in three wars and you just do what you want to do."
Retiring after 32 and a-half years of service, the couple returned to the Sparks-Reno area and Williams started raising cattle.
This year, the couple celebrated its 60th wedding anniversary in May and Williams finally retired from the cattle business.
Veteran's Day reminds Mrs. Williams, who helped the Red Cross in Hawaii, of the heroes she met then.
"That flag brought my husband home and many other boys. That's what they fight for and I don't think we give enough honor to those kids," she said.
Then Williams added, "I honor all the people that flew with me and went to war with me and the people who died, for the country, something that would help the country become greater than it is."

Reviews for Two-Chip Chocolate Chippers(20)
Sort By :
Love this recipe. Loads of chocolate chips. This is the only recipe I use anymore. Some times I omit the pecans.
I'd tried these cookies last year and I found this recipe to be really good! What I did do was make my adjustments to suit my tastes by using 1/2 cup each packed brown sugar and white sugar. I did add 1 tsp. salt & omitted the nuts! I generally don't add nuts to my own cookies as there are folks who are either allergic to nuts or just don't care for nuts! I think that instead of milk chocolate chips, you also can use peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips for variety in chip flavor! In recent times, I've been doing that when I make chocolate chip cookies!
I think it just depends on one's taste!
Also it depends on what type of chips I have available! I did grease the baking sheets-as a rule, I've done that for easier removal of the cookies from the baking sheets! I also stretch the dough by using a rounded teaspoonful of dough instead of the tablespoon! Thank you, Lee Ann Miller,
for this recipe! Dawn E. Lowenstein
LOVE these cookies! My Friends and family go crazy over these! LOVE all of Leeann's recipes!
This is the only recipe I use to bake CC cookies! It's fabulous.
These are yummy and always a big hit. I reduce the amount of chocolate chips by about 1/2 cup and sometimes use seasonal M&Ms for half the chips.

Dedicated fans of popular music have a certain conversation at least once a year. Call it The Question of Endurance. You and your friends are talking about music, and the conversation turns to a popular band. You express support. A friend voices her opinion, maybe as favorable as yours, but appends a qualifier: "I like them, but will they be around in ten years?" You may feel compelled to defend whomever it is you're talking about, covering the present moment and the future with your positive take. After trying this approach, though, you realize that pop music has no Constitution and doesn't operate like a de-facto Supreme Court: precedent is not always established, and isn't even necessary. Pop rarely accretes in a tidy, serial manner—it zigs, zags, eats itself, and falls over its shoelaces. Some pop successes go head to head with Blake and Bach; others win their blue ribbons by doing everything upside down and out of tune.
Exceptional pop creates a precedent precisely by abrogating the presumptive rules. How did that grouchy Bob Dylan become a critical favorite by spitting back at interviewers with silence and riddles? (Didn't being cute and funny help the Beatles? Why would the opposite behavior work just as well, and at exactly the same time?) How did the Jamaican shantytown hero Bob Marley become an American Ivy League dorm-room staple? How did the tiny, androgynous Prince become a hero to alpha-male guitar-solo fiends? Pop acts become classic when they reveal the contingent nature of "classic."
So it goes with one-hit (or two-hit) wonders, who can also become classics—or not. The nature of pop recycling makes it hard to measure, or define, endurance. In 1980, Gary Numan's synthesizer pop song "Cars" was a reliable presence on broadcast radio here and in the United Kingdom. By 1985, though, you'd have been hard pressed to find a trace of Numan in the mainstream of pop. Today, he's ubiquitous—"Cars" has been referenced in television shows and pop songs steadily throughout the past decade, and Numan's synthesizer sounds are audible in the work of tiny Brooklyn bands and enormous stars alike. Just because the anonymous Euro-techno group Eiffel 65 was on the charts for only one stretch in 2000 does not mean that its mission was not accomplished. Eiffel 65's one known song—its nonsense hit "Blue"—is the basis for a new Top Forty hit by Flo Rida called "Sugar," and has inspired many user-generated videos on YouTube that are all better than the official video, a C.G.I. monstrosity. The artist who stays on the charts for years without interruption sometimes does it by virtue of professional acuity and inoffensive predictability. Some of pop's most delightful figures endure exactly because we can't figure out what they are up to.
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta would have you believe that she's not just beating the system—in her version, she's stormed the castle walls, spirited away the Dauphin, and changed the national language to semaphore. Better known as Lady Gaga, Germanotta was born twenty-three years ago in Yonkers and has had two verifiable worldwide No. 1 hits, which are definitely dance music: "Just Dance" and "Poker Face." (The kids say electro-pop, I say disco, and I suppose we're both right.) Less verifiable is her theorizing about her work. She cites Andy Warhol, claims to be a "fame Robin Hood" who has lost her mind, opines in public about whether a certain shade of red is "Communist," and has dropped Rilke's name more than once. Don't take this skepticism for distaste—Lady Gaga and I share preferences, especially as far as well-written pop music goes, and I am thrilled to see Communism and Rilke getting ink. I am also happy that her album, "The Fame," will be with us all year, even if you can't find Marx or Rilke anywhere in the music. What is most amusing is watching a trained pro like Lady Gaga try to sell herself as the Flying Lizards. Who were they? A colorfully deadpan British art-school unit of brainy, primitive one-hit wonders ("Money") who did business in the early eighties and are resurrected in spirit every seven years or so. They were really odd.
Gaga is not odd, give or take some warbles and that one time during a session for AOL when she pounded on her keyboard with her high heel, but she is as smart as she repeatedly claims to be. Germanotta went to Convent of the Sacred Heart High School and grew up on the Upper West Side. (Her parents call her Joanne.) After a stint at N.Y.U.'s Tisch School, she dropped out and, while still a teen, went to Los Angeles, where she got a contract with Def Jam. That gig ended in three months, so Germanotta came home—not yet calling herself Lady Gaga—and began performing songs and burlesque routines in New York clubs with a friend, the d.j. Lady Starlight. Eventually, she returned to Los Angeles, and signed with Interscope Records. She wrote songs for the Pussycat Dolls and one for Britney Spears (a strange, compelling love song disguised as a dance number, called "Quicksand," which is available only on the European version of Spears's "Circus") and worked with Akon, the certified pop star with an ornately embellished criminal past, who signed Gaga to his label.
This is not as weird as it might sound. Gaga can really sing and really write. That said, she embellished when she says, of "The Fame," that she "did the whole goddamn thing." In reality, her collaborators on her début album are a wisely picked cast of new and old pros who know how to make pop records sound like pop records. Rob Fusari, who dubbed Germanotta Lady Gaga, after the Queen song "Radio Ga Ga," co-wrote some of Destiny's Child's best work. RedOne is a Moroccan producer whose song "Bamboo" was named the Official Melody of soccer's 2006 FIFA World Cup. More to the point, RedOne's longtime residence in Sweden means that he has access to the enormous ice pool of Nordic hooks that Americans never seem to match. It makes sense that RedOne and Germanotta received a Grammy nomination for "Just Dance," the song that presumably inspired Spears to enlist Ms. Gaga's help for "Circus."

Mites, along with ticks, are small arthropods belonging to the subclass Acari (also known as Acarina) and the class Arachnida. The scientific discipline devoted to the study of ticks and mites is called acarology. In soil ecosystems, mites are favored by high organic matter content and by moist conditions, wherein they actively engage in the fragmentation and mixing of organic matter.[1]
Diversity and systematics[edit]
Mites are among the most diverse and successful of all the invertebrate groups. They have exploited an incredible array of habitats, and because of their small size (most are microscopic,) go largely unnoticed. Many live freely in the soil or water, but there are also a large number of species that live as parasites on plants, animals, and some that feed on mold. It is estimated that 48,200 species of mites have been described.[2]
Some of the plant pests include the so-called spider mites (family Tetranychidae), thread-footed mites (family Tarsonemidae), and the gall mites (family Eriophyidae). Among the species that attack animals are members of the sarcoptic mange mites (family Sarcoptidae), which burrow under the skin. Demodex mites (family Demodicidae) are parasites that live in or near the hair follicles of mammals, including humans. Acari are mites, except for the three families of ticks. Perhaps the best-known mite, though, is the house dust mite (family Pyroglyphidae).
Insects may also have parasitic mites. Examples are Varroa destructor, which attaches to the body of the honeybee, and Acarapis woodi (family Tarsonemidae), which lives in the tracheae of honey bees. There are hundreds of species of mites associated with other bee species, and most are poorly described and understood. Some are thought to be parasites, while others beneficial symbionts. Mites also parasitize some ant species, such as Eciton burchellii.
The tropical species Archegozetes longisetosus is one of the strongest animals in the world, relative to its mass (100 μg): It lifts up to 1,182 times its own weight, over five times more than would be expected of such a minute animal.[3]
Oribatid mites are important decomposers and occur in many habitats.[4]
Medical significance[edit]
Dust mites cause several forms of allergic diseases, including hay fever, asthma and eczema and are known to aggravate atopic dermatitis.[5] Mites are usually found in warm and humid locations, including beds. It is thought that inhalation of mites during sleep exposes the human body to some antigens that eventually induce hypersensitivity reaction.[6] Dust mite allergens are thought to be among the heaviest dust allergens.[7]
Like most of the other types of allergy, treatment of mite allergy starts with avoidance. There is a strong body of evidence showing that avoidance should be helpful in patients with atopic dermatitis triggered by exposure to mites.[8] Regular washing of mattresses and blankets with hot water can help in this regard.[9] Antihistamines are also useful; Cetirizine, for example, is shown to reduce allergic symptoms of patients.[10]
However, not all types of mites are infectious to humans, such as Alaskozetes antarcticus, an Arctic mite.[8] For the ones that do infest humans, an antiparasitic insecticide such as benzyl benzoate or sulphur in the form of sulphur soap[11] or sulphur powder[12][13] is generally used to control and eliminate the mite population.

Hopefully your questions were answered at SOAR, but you may still have things you're wondering about. Read these FAQs for more information about life at UW-Madison and in the School of Business.
What if I receive my AP scores after attending SOAR?
If you find that after attending SOAR you earned AP credit for a course you're enrolled in for the fall, you will need to swap that course for another course. Students WILL NOT receive credit twice, so it is very important to find a substitute course. This is also true for any other college-level coursework (ie: transfer courses, IB credit, CAPP, etc.).
Remember that to earn AP credit, students must have their official AP grade report sent directly to the Office of Admissions from the College Board. For more information on grade reporting services, visit the College Board's Web site. UW–Madison's AP code is 1846.
What if I want to change my schedule after attending SOAR?
As a student, you are responsible for your own education, so you are welcome to change your schedule at any time over the summer. It is important to keep degree requirements and advisor recommendations in mind, however.
If you are changing your schedule after classes begin, take note of the academic deadlines.
How do I find out about important information related to the School of Business?
All information for students interested in business will be available on myBiz. Except for rare occasions, the Wisconsin BBA Program does not send emails. Get in the habit of checking myBiz on a regular basis and utilize the tools available to receive the information in the format you prefer (ie: subscribe to RSS feed, Twitter updates, Facebook news feed, etc.).
Information on myBiz is presented in a variety of formats: an announcement section, a calendar with upcoming events, and a blog section with important information as well as great student life highlights. Click here to learn more about the most effective way to use myBiz.
How can I contact my academic advisor?
The professional academic advisor you met with at SOAR will be your assigned advisor as long as you are pursuing a major in business. His/her name and email address should be circled on your carbon-copy SOAR planner you left with. Within a few days of attending SOAR, you should also see his/her name listed in your Student Center.
Before contacting your advisor, utilize the tools available to you: Undergraduate Academic Services website, myBiz, UW homepage, and the handbook given to you at SOAR. This is often the most efficient way to find answers to your questions.
If you are unable to find the information you're looking for, the next step is to contact your advisor via email. Remember that email is designed for questions that can be answered fairly briefly. When sending an email to your advisor, please use your WiscMail account and include your student ID number in the body of the email. Please allow 24-48 hours for a response.
It is best to save more detailed questions for academic advising sessions. First-year students must attend a First-Year Advising Session in both the fall and spring semesters. This is your opportunity to meet with your advisor again and ask specific questions that you may have. Transfer students are able to attend transfer student-specific sessions or can schedule an appointment with their assigned advisor. Check myBiz in early September to register for a First-Year or Transfer Advising Session if you haven't already registered.

MONTREAL — Canadiens legend Yvan Cournoyer had tickets for Sunday's Bell Centre game between the Habs and the Florida Panthers, a 2-1 victory for the visitors.
In the end, the Roadrunner chose not to attend, because how much fun can it be getting to the arena from north of Montreal through snow-choked streets if you're not a frostbitten passenger on the back of Jacques Lemaire's snowmobile?
But we'll come to that.
There was never a suggestion that Sunday's 6 p.m. game wouldn't be played, the 20 or so centimetres being a moderate snowfall by the standards of those Montrealers who remember real winter blizzards, not the flurries of today that close schools.
The Canadiens touched down at Trudeau airport just before 2:30 a.m. Sunday from New York's JFK following Saturday's 1-0 overtime win against the Islanders, arriving home two hours later than scheduled.
Taking forever to load a charter aircraft before a lengthy, get-in-line trip to the de-icing pad at a major New York airport, rather than at the team's usual East Farmingdale facility on Long Island (which was down to one runway), will do that to your timetable.
And then there was the journey itself, 40 minutes of largely white-knuckle flying through skies turbulent enough to bounce passengers en route to Montreal.
Not surprisingly, a game-day morning skate in Brossard, an unlikely event at best, was scrubbed altogether; the Panthers, who had arrived during the day Saturday, held an optional skate at the Bell.
The Canadiens spotted the Panthers a 2-0 second-period lead, then tried to claw back into the game with a goal by Alex Galchenyuk early in the third. It revived the arena, as did a late, futile 5-on-3 advantage, but only briefly.
The Habs offence has lately been a sight to behold, and not in a good way. Galchenyuk has now scored the team's last three regulation-time goals in a span of 241 minutes and 53 seconds, giving him the dubious, quite incredible honour of a natural hat trick spaced over 14 periods.
The game will go into the books as the Canadiens' 380th consecutive ticket sellout of 21,273, but at least several hundred fans couldn't or chose not to attend given the weather.
The weekend's first blast of the season reminded Cournoyer of a memorable day nearly 42 years ago. It was on Feb. 19, 1972, that he and fellow Hall of Famer-to-be Lemaire arrived at the Forum by snowmobile, barely before the start of their game against the Philadelphia Flyers.
"We got a call in the afternoon from Eddy, telling us we'd better come in early because of the storm," Cournoyer remembered of trainer Eddy Palchak's summons.
Cournoyer, then living in Baie d'Urfé, called Lemaire at his home in Beaconsfield and told his teammate he'd pick him up in his four-wheel drive for the ride to the Forum.
"We got to Dorval on the 2&20 (highway) and then everything stopped, completely," he said.
As would any self-respecting Quebec driver, Cournoyer made a U-turn in the middle of the highway, bouncing across the median to aim west.
He headed back to Lemaire's home, dropping him off before returning to his own place, both men suiting up head to toe in snowmobile suits to mount the machines they had in their garages.
Strapped aboard were their overnight bags for the Canadiens trip later that night to Buffalo, where even exhausted, they would blank the Sabres 4-0.
All was fine until Lemaire and Cournoyer got to … Dorval. The latter's snowmobile died, so he ditched it on the side of the highway, climbing on behind Lemaire.
Finally churning down Ste-Catherine St. to find only hardy pedestrians and cross-country skiers, the pair pulled up to the Forum's garage door on de Maisonneuve Blvd., honking for access, then drove inside.
"When we arrived, all the others players were already dressed for the game," Cournoyer said, laughing. "In our snowmobile suits, we looked like we were from outer space."
The two astronauts did just fine once the game began. For a crowd of 8,065, less than half the Forum's capacity, Lemaire opened the scoring and Cournoyer, his eyes swollen from the frigid commute, notched the Canadiens' second, his 30th of the season, after having assisted on Lemaire's goal in a 3-1 win.
The Gazette's Tim Burke catalogued the travel adventures of other Habs. Among them:
Marc Tardif hiked 90 minutes from St-Laurent and Bellechasse, having abandoned his car. Jacques Laperrière and Ken Dryden walked for miles. Canadiens shareholder Sam Maislin used a tow truck to round up backup goalie Denis DeJordy and defenceman Guy Lapointe in Beloeil.
Habs coach Scotty Bowman waded through thigh-deep drifts just to get to the Dorval train station.
"I was so tired that I reached the point where I thought I wouldn't make it," Bowman said. "If I were 10 years older (than his 38), I wouldn't have."
At least that 1972 game was played (and Cournoyer, indeed, did get his ditched snowmobile back).
A year earlier, Montreal's so-called Storm of the Century dropped about 50 centimetres of snow on March 4, 1971, causing the postponement of that night's Forum game between the Canadiens and Vancouver Canucks.
Both clubs had arrived in Montreal in the wee hours from Wednesday losses — the Habs falling 4-0 in Pittsburgh, the Canucks 3-1 in Toronto — but bowed to a city request that they call off their Thursday game with roads hopelessly clogged.
Newspaper reports of the day claimed this was the first game in the NHL's 54-year history postponed by bad weather.
Not so. In 1924, the defending-champion Ottawa Senators failed to make it to Montreal's Mount Royal Arena for a Feb. 20 game against the Canadiens.
The Senators' train finally ran adrift at Cushing Station, near Hawkesbury, Ont., unable to plow through the mountains of snow.
In Montreal, a sellout crowd of 6,000, some fans quite literally hanging from the arena rafters, sang happily until the game was finally called off by referee Art Ross 90 minutes after its scheduled start with no opponent in sight.
"It was a good-humoured gathering," The Gazette reported the next day. "The band performed valiantly, one selection following another in quick succession as the musicians did their bit to fill the gap."
Near Hawkesbury, having left Ottawa at 1 p.m. on game day, Senators players disembarked and used shovels in a bid to dig out their locomotive — and can't you see that happening today? — before finally admitting defeat.
They were shepherded to a local hotel to spend the night, but not before star forward Cy Denneny apparently fell down a shallow well while off in search of a snack; happily, he was uninjured.
The game was played the following evening, an exhausted Senators squad spanked 3-0.
Seventy-four years later, the ice storm that savaged Quebec forced postponement of the Jan. 10, 1998, game against the New York Rangers in the 2-year-old Molson Centre.
While Sunday's storm bared its teeth for awhile, it had largely moved on well before the opening faceoff between the Canadiens and Panthers.
If only someone had told the Habs, who for too much of the night looked as organized as an after-school pickup game on a chippy outdoor rink, firing one puck after another into the snowbank.

Fishing is still going strong as anglers are targeting rivers, ponds and streams and heading to the shore and Great Lakes to keep the action diverse.
While the Fish Report hasn't transformed to the Outdoor Report just yet because area antlerless deer season is still four weeks away, a lot of outdoor enthusiasts are starting to tune up their bows and work on trailcams and treestands in preparation for the early season.
Blue Mountain Fish & Game in Walnutport is running its third annual big buck contest. The 2012-2013 Buck Challenge! is open to members and non-members. Members pay $15 to enter; non-members pay $30.
Each whitetail buck entry must be properly tagged as per Pennsylvania Game Commission regulations and killed in Pennsylvania during the 2012-13 hunting season.
Deadline for entering the contest is Sept. 28. The contest begins Sept. 29 and ends January 25, 2013. The grand prize is a hunting trip to Benedicta Lodge Sporting camps in Maine. Other prizes will also be awarded.
Contact David Hess at 610-262-3440 or at email@example.com with any questions and be sure to visit the clubs website at http://bluemtfishgame.webs.com for regulations, updates, and photos.
Blue Mountain Fish & Game Association, located at 4190 Wood Drive in Walnutport, has many activities throughout the year. Meetings are the second Tuesday of each month at 7p.m. The club welcomes all ages for true sportsmanship and helping one another with the recreation of hunting, fishing, archery league and other related outdoor sports.
Anglers wanted for fame; fortune debatable: Pilgrim Studios, creators of the marksmen competition series "Top Shot," is casting for its newest series, "Top Hooker." The producers are looking for the nation's best fishermen, and feel that readers of The Morning Call might be interested in applying.
The series is looking for competitive, outgoing, skilled anglers, spear fishermen, game fishermen, fly fishermen, trawlers and trappers for what is being described as television's biggest, wildest fishing competition.
The deadline to apply is Aug. 28. To apply, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, phone number, location, a recent photo and a brief explanation of why you could be America's first "Top Hooker."
Wallenpaupack Sports Shop, Hawley (570-226-4797): Mark says Lake Wallenpaupack is giving up stripers in the 15-25-pound range on live herring drifting in 30 feet of water from Wilsonville to the dam and on the south side of Eppley Island. Smallmouth bass are going after watermelon tubes, Kai-tech lures and spider grubs. There are a lot of big pickerel biting on live bait, and one customer netted a 17-pound Northern pike. The walleye are biting about an hour before sunrise on stick baits following the bait fish. Shohola has been producing big largemouth bass on Yamamoto worms. The Lackawaxen River walleyes are going after diving Rapalas, and the bite is very good. There also are some big trout in the 3-4-pound range. Fairview Lake has a lot of smallmouth bass going after crank baits and drifting live herring. Lake Greeley has been good for perch, which are going after minnows on the bottom.
Mauch Chunk Lake Boat Rental and Bait Shop, 625 Lentz Trail, Jim Thorpe, (570-325-0100): Jeremy says the fishing has been great the last two weeks. Two of his regular anglers, Mike and Kevin, have been having a lot of success on the fishing pier catching bass, perch, pickerel and sunfish while using minnows. He also got a report of a 20-inch largemouth bass caught off the fishing pier around 4 p.m., also on a minnow. The pier at night with the new light has been really successful for bass and channel catfish.
Willie's Bait & Tackle, Cementon (610-261-2767): Willie says there are a lot of smallmouth in the Lehigh River with a few trout still in the mouths of the creeks. The Pohopoco has been fishing really good. The Monocacy has a lot of natives in the holes where the springs come up. Mauch Chunk has been very good with the usual like bass, blue gills, perch and pickerel active. Little Mud Pond had good crappie action. Shohola has some good crappie and bass action. Peck's Pond has all the pickerel you want, but there's not much size to them. There's a catfish contest coming up at Ranger Lake soon.
Bob's Wildlife Taxidermy, 4642 Kernsville Road, Orefield (610-398-7609): Bob says there's not much action in the creeks. Most people are heading to the rivers, lakes and ponds. There a lot a lot of grampas taking grandkids panfishing. Fishing has slowed tremendously and a lot of people are getting ready for deer hunting by working on their stands and getting trailcams set up.
Archery @ the Glenn, Allentown, (610-791-7665): Brian says customers still speak of catching plenty of trout in the Little Lehigh. In the Lehigh River smallmouth bass, catfish and muskies seem to be on the bite. Marc from the shop took some time away from his studies on Sunday and waded the Lehigh River, catching plenty of 8-12-inch smallmouth and got that one 15-incher he was looking for. Robert Feist Jr. of Allentown caught a 40-inch, 16.5 pound muskie in the Lehigh. Lakes have been hit or miss with little consistency. He's looking forward to the fall cool down. He's heard of people hitting the Delaware River and having some pretty good success.
Heritage Fly Shop, Little Lehigh Parkway, Allentown (610-248-8836): The shop is closed for vacation.
Mike's Bait & Sports Shop, Nazareth, (610-759-2905): Mike says walleyes are hot at Beltzville, as well as panfish. Mauch Chunk has some good flurries, but for every three good reports he gets, there's one lousy report. Other than channel catfish and a few smallmouth, the Delaware River action has been slow.
Klotz's Bait Shop, Hellertown (610-838-7970): Caroline says Julien Newhart of Bethlehem caught a 13.5-pound carp on corn in the Saucon Creek near the Grist Mill. Frank Young of Salisbury caught 4-pound and 5-pound largemouth bass in Quakertown. Flyfishing has been good on the Monocacy and Little Lehigh.
Cabela's, Hamburg, (610-929-7000): Brooke Hoffman writes: Ahhh, the warm days of August on the beach; the sun, the sand, the water and waves. Enjoy them while there's still time as you daydream about the upcoming great fishing in the fall season. The incredible striper runs, the best time of the year for smallmouths, streams cooling off while trout fishing heats up, millions of salmon heading out of Lake Ontario and up the rivers and creeks, and big steelhead testing the tributaries of Lake Erie. As the Scouts always say, "be prepared." Now is a great time to inspect your equipment so that you are prepared for the upcoming fall season. Remember, you've got one very important link between you and that big one — your fishing line. So whether you're relaxing on the beach with a surf rod and 17-pound mono, fishing the heavy cover for largemouth with 30-pound braid, wading the Tulpehocken or Little Lehigh with 4-pound fluorocarbon, deep trolling for trout and stripers with leadcore, or going extra deep in the salt with wire line, your line is tremendously important. So the guides on your rod should be checked to make sure they will not damage your fishing line. You will also want to be sure your reels are spooled to capacity to get maximum distance on your casts, and have enough line so you don't get "spooled" by a huge fish. Bring your reel, or select from the hundreds of reels we have in stock, and we will be more than happy to properly wind your line onto your spool, at absolutely no cost to you. So let's get ready, and prepared, for the fabulous fall fishing season that will be here very soon.

Beeswax Wood Care & Finish
Natural oils and beeswax. Polishes and seals new, untreated pieces. Cleans wood and restores antiques. For use indoors and out. Made in Laramie, Wyoming, since 1987. (
Handcrafted by artisan furniture and staircase maker Vincent Skidmore, this beeswax–based product is an effective method for building a beautiful finish on raw wood. It can also be used for cleaning, restoring and recapturing the former glory of an antique piece.
This product leaves a polished finish and seal on untreated wood. It will protect and build a soft and glowing finish, bringing out the grain of the wood.
It can be used for indoor and outdoor use, on wooden hot tubs and decks. It can also help to remove white rings and water stains.
Skidmore's started in 1987 and is based in Laramie, Wyoming. Vincent's background in woodworking originated in his parent's antique business. They went on buying trips all over the country, bringing furniture back to California to repair and refinish before putting the pieces in their shop.
Use & Care
Simply shake the can and brush or sponge onto the wood. You can use Skidmore on all types of wood: hard, soft, new or old.
The finish functions as both a restorative and cleaning polish. For wood that is particularly scratched or aged, you may want to use steel wool or a polypad and rub Skidmore's gently into the wood, always working with the grain. Let the piece sit to allow Skidmore's Wood Finish to penetrate. Wipe off and buff to bring out the shine. The more buffing, the more polished the finish looks.
Clean up with mineral spirits or citrus cleaner. Use in a well-ventilated area and keep away from the kids.
Production & Design
This polish is created from turpentine, linseed oil and beeswax from a beekeeper in Riverton, Wyoming. The product arrives in a decorative tin can.

Physics Around Mirror Symmetry
G_2 manifolds play
the analogous role in M-theory that Calabi-Yau manifolds play in string
theory. There has been work in the physics community on conjectural
"mirror symmetry" in this context, and it has also been observed that
singularities are necessary for a satisfactory theory. After a very
brief review of these physical developments (by a mathematician who
doesn't necessarily understand the physics), I will give a mathematical
introduction to G_2 conifolds. I will then proceed to give a detailed
Chiral gauge theories in two dimensions with (0,2) supersymmetry admit a
much broader, and more interesting, class of vacuum solutions than
their better studied (2,2) counterparts. In this talk, we will explore
some of the possibilities that are offered by this additional freedom by
including field-dependent theta-angles and FI parameters. The moduli
spaces that will result from this procedure correspond to heterotic
string backgrounds with non-trivial H-flux and NS-brane sources. Along
will describe a new method for understanding a large class of
generalized complex manifolds, in which we view them as usual
symplectic structures on a manifold with a kind of log structure. I
will explain this structure in detail and explain how it can be used
to prove a Tian-Todorov unobstructedness theorem as well as
topological obstructions for existence of nondegenerate generalized
complex structures.
The concept of wall-crossing structure (WCS for short) was introduced
recently in my joint work with Maxim Kontsevich. WCS appear in different
disguises in the theory of Donaldson-Thomas invariants of Calabi-Yau
3-folds, quiver representations,integrable systems of Hitchin type,
cluster algebras, Mirror Symmetry, etc.
I plan to discuss the
definition of WCS and illustrate it in several well-known examples. If
time permits I will speak about a special class of WCS called rational
quantum gravity, as generating series of discrete surfaces, and
sometimes toy models for string theory. The single trace matrix models
(with measure dM exp( - N Tr V(M)) have been solved in a 1/N expansion
in the 90s by the moment method of Ambjorn et al. Later, Eynard showed
that it can be rewritten more intrinsically in terms of algebraic
geometry of the spectral curve, and formulated the so-called topological
I will review some ongoing work on the low energy properties of D-branes/boundary conditions in massive two-dimensional field theories with (2,2) supersymmetry.

Yep. This is a 1:1 scale clone of the Estes kit #1925 "Exocet MM 38". This rocket is a scale-down test for my L1 model (3" bodytube. Literally a scale-up of this kit).
So far just the basics are done so far. Cut out all the fins out of 1/8" Birch plywood, Airfoil profiled. I have the MMT (24mm) installed as with the retainer. All fins are TTB constructed (MMT extends all the way up to the front leading root of the front fins).
This isn't a exact clone since it's made entirely of Quest Aerospace parts, but the bodytube within 1mm of the original Estes plans for length, within 0.5mm diameter. It's overbuilt to maintain a 10:1 power/weight ratio which will be similar to the 3" model. Also this one is going to go VERY fast for a small mid-power model, hence the birch fins and TTB construction on all the fins.
Simulated and planned around a E-15 engine, it's just stable enough to fly a 24mm F21 if need be.
Here it is so far:

MONTROSE – Area residents who have benefitted over the years from All Points Transit services will have a chance to give back at the upcoming Montrose Oktoberfest.
For the second year, All Points will be the prime beneficiary of fundraising during Oktoberfest, which takes place from 1 to 6 p.m. at Centennial Plaza on Oct. 6.
"Last year, Oktoberfest raised a little more than $5,000 for our operations to make sure we could get seniors and people with disabilities to locations they needed to get to," All Points Director Terri Wilcox said. "This is really beneficial to us."
All Points transit provides a dial-a-ride service throughout the Montrose and Delta county communities, as wells as in Norwood. The fully-accessible, pre-scheduled, door-to-door transportation program serves seniors and people with disabilities.
Because the non-profit's funding is supplemented by Area Agency on Aging, the rides are provided on a donation basis. The program has conducted 3,600 trips from January to September this year, each trip costing All Points about $16. In August, the program got 37 cents per ride from rider donations.
"Many of our riders can't afford the ride, so this [Oktoberfest] money really does go to a good cause," Wilcox said.
The All Points city bus service provides transportation throughout Montrose and from Olathe, and is averaging about 138 riders per day, and continues to grow, she said.
With growing popularity and increased transportation needs, All Points has expanded services and plans to provide even more routes.
Through Olathe's Community Health Center, a grant has been obtained to provide expanded routes to Olathe, which Wilcox said she hopes will be in place by January 2013.
"The hope is that the grant also will include rides from Delta to Olathe," she said. "It would be great if our bus service could expand to Delta. We are talking regional now, and that is great."
All Points also recently expanded its clinic rides to the West End, as it partnered with the Telluride Foundation to provide medical shuttle services.
This new service provides rides seven times a month between Montrose and the Norwood, Telluride, Nucla and Naturita area communities. People who do not have medical appointments also can use the service, if there is room on the bus.
"We are increasing mobility and access greatly in our communities," she said.
All Points also provides rides to Grand Junction for medical appointments one Monday a month.
All Points is working to enhance its city bus service by establishing a central office and transfer station on South Second Street in Montrose, and raise money to get benches and shelters at many of the popular city bus stops.
Wilcox said she hopes the latter will be funded in part by a 2014-15 grant that All Points is currently putting together.
As a result of its efforts to connect communities and provide senior transportation, All Points was selected earlier this week to receive the 2012 Administrative Award for Outstanding Public Service from The Federal Transit Administration. It will receive that national award on Oct. 16 in Salt Lake City at the FTA annual conference.
