The Simpsons are back. Last night's episode offered more than the string of sight-gags (great Homer falling asleep montage) and oddball adventures we've come to expect from the yellow clan. It showcased a topic near and dear to us here at pH.
As Homer describes it; "a kite's best friend, the flag's partner in patriotism, you've seen cherub's blow it from map corners…" yes, this show is brought to us by Wind Power!
Homer, fed up with high energy bills, packs up the family and heads to the Springfield Alternative Energy Expo. After meeting a pushy Danish salesmen, the Simpsons return in the dinged pink car with a windmill twined to the roof.
I'll restrain myself from giving away any more but the episode stays on the eco-joke track with a pivot to a story line about Lisa trying to save a beached whale. Near the end of the episode the Simpsons even get a lesson on the dangers of sharks being over-hunted for their fins!
The last time the Simpsons tried a doomed-from-the-start inter-species friendship was when the radio station reluctantly presents Bart with a prize named Stampy (Give me my elephant!). Lisa's relationship with Bluella the Whale draws on the same enormous mammalian connection… but don't worry, the tenderness stops abruptly short of becoming precious when dynamited whale meat falls from the sky. Ok, now I'll stop.
Just glad to have America's favorite TV family thinking about conservation and alternative energy. Can't wait to see Mayor Quimby sign a hilarious comprehensive climate reform bill; Apphu start a wacky chain of LEED certified organic grocery stores. Can't wait.
Watch the episode here.
What do you think about the trend towards green TV, like NBC's green week of programs?
Does it bring environmentalism to a new audience or just make a network seem conscious?
What are your favorite eco-minded TV episodes?

text: The Candidate for Speed CrossingsThe Futura replaced the Carve and S–Type presents a new generation of freeride boards. The straps are comfortable and easy to set, and we found also the oval hole for the fin screw more user friendly and the access and the trim indication for the mast base makes the design more accessible. The board was stable in non–planing conditions, and planed really well in windy conditions with an on/off feeling. That feeling may disturb the medium level rider. It goes through the lulls easily and is the better overall board. The fin is excellent and very stiff which the more advanced rider, may make the sailing become uncomfortable. We can see the i Sonic features that have been incorporated into the board and they compliment the board very well. The Futura naturally holds a firm sailing line, however the board is still really maneuverable. The board almost feels like it is being sailed in autopilot, and is physically less demanding to sail. Note also it sails very well upwind, it gibes really easily and is stable in and out of the turn. Finally this Starboard offers high performances for every body in light and medium winds. A real performance candidate for speed crossing, and for those who don't want a pure slalom machine. + High level performances, equipment, up wind/speed – Slightly less accessible

Riverfest turnout this year to help with last year's losses
LA CROSSE, Wis. - It won't be long before signs of the Riverfest celebration will be all but gone down at Riverside Park.
Crews started the tear down bright and early Sunday after the three days of celebration.
Final numbers aren't in yet, but organizers said they had a good turn out this year.
The turnout will help put a dent into making up for last year's losses.
Kyle Olson of the La Crosse Jaycees says clean-up is a little bit more satisfying this year, knowing thousands turned out for the celebration.
"Just the turnout from the last couple of nights, we haven't seen crowds like that in several years," said Olson.
The crowds were a big change after last year's heat kept the park pretty empty.
"It was pretty, pretty thin," said Olson. "It was a pretty thin year."
The La Crosse Jaycees are just one of the several organizations that benefits from the proceeds collected during Riverfest.
"A lot of these money that we get in go to pay some of our rent, some of our utilities -- whether it be phone bill or internet -- all that stuff so that way we can continue to serve the community in other ways," said Olson.
Last year, Riverfest saw a 40 percent drop in proceeds because of the extreme heat.20870632
While final numbers aren't in yet, Riverfest's media director, Nick Bjerke, said this year was much better.
"It wasn't a failure by any means," said Bjerke. "It was a good year for us, but we wanted this great and awesome year. We're hoping it turned out that way from last night, but we haven't gotten those numbers in yet."
Even with a good year this year, Bjerke said it may take a few years before they can fully recover from last year's losses, but Olson said this year is giving them a good start.
"I think this will be a good rebuilding year, especially after this year," said Olson.
One thing that did not work in favor of Riverfest this year was the high river level.
Organizers canceled the water ski shows for the first time in as long as they can remember, but they said the other water shows still drew in pretty big crowds.
Bjerke said cleanup should be finished by Monday and final numbers on attendance and proceeds collected should be available in the coming weeks.

We only had one night to spent in Barcelona for our Europe Trip and our arrival and leaving the city is a bit out of the "normal" schedule.
Monica was so nice to accomodate us. She was very hospitable and showed us their place. She was very kind to help us where should we go to take our bus to the airport and let us stay a bit longer while we wait for the time of our flight.
The room and the apartment is well kept. The apartment is very well located and is near Sagrada Familia.
We have had a nice week in Barcelona - and we had booked a room in a private apartement, and shared kitchen, bathroom and balkon with 2 other guests. We had a 16 m3 big room, everything was clean and nice - so we are very satisfied with staing at Monica Lopez.
Me and my boyfriend stayed for a week with Monica. It was great! The flat was very clean and tidy. It had everything we needed. It was situated it a lovely area and we really enjoyed our stay.
Very pleasant stay, superb location (10 min walk to Sagrada Familia, 5 min to metro station). Clean house. Everything was great.
Thanks Monica
we had a great stay at Momicas Flat, the pictures do not deceive and no problems with kitchen or bath sharing. Sagrada Familia is wuite close and also the Metro to Placa Catalunya, perfect. I really can recommend!!
good location, great place to be, you won't find a terrace like that in a four star hotel.. enjoy
Nice Appartement, good location, close to metro station. The room was clean and the bed was good. Bathroom was very dirty when i arrived but after i asked to clean it the bathroom was cleanend. Guests should leave the place clean after having a shower , this is not up to the host. I would visit Monicas place again one day.
Appartement très bien placé et très propre ! À 10 Minutes De la Sagrada Familia, localisation idéale pour visiter la ville...nous avons tout fait à pieds !
La casa tiene buena ubicación, esta limpia y en buenas condiciones, el check in normal y el wifi no existe
Our arrival was good, bevore the travel we stayed in contact to the host. She gave us a lot of information about Barcelona and the public transport there. At arrival the host was in vacation so we had to pick up the keyes from a neighbour. The flat was used by other two guests which dosn't care/cared much about cleaning the flat. The frist view was totally not like the online announce. Our given keys were badly the wrongs so we couldn't enter our room in the night, which fault maybee the neighbours was. The flat is nice and good locatet for tourists, the rooms are located beside each other, so if you have nice other guests you can probably get enought sleep, otherwise your should have good nerves. In the room were electronic heaters for the cool winter nights at about 1-8 degreece, but they didn't warm the whole room. If there are other gutest in the flat, often the power fuse switsches out on cool days. The use of the climate inside the room could suffer the problem but is expected to cost 10€ more fare for each day. So for that price, the room is to expensive.

I was thinking about getting a leaf suit to bow hunt in this year. I was wondering if anyone used them and what kind. There are quite a few out there and I don't want to get one that is going to fall apart on me. As with my normal camo I plan on getting a light colored pattern so I don't turn into a dark blob at 20 yrds. out. Thanks for the input.
I don't recommend using one in turkey season. It adds bulk, and when you start sweating the dern thing sticks to you and itches like the devil. But I'm one that's always on the move tryin to make somthin happen. If you're the type that sits around it would probly work good.
ORIGINAL: TurkeyMo
This is the Cabela's brand one. You have to look very very close to see me up against the tree in my backyard. Besides turkeys, I also just sat one time and had a buck mule deer just walk right on past me... Too bad I didn't have a tag.
Only bad thing about leaf suits... they don't mix well when trying to cross barb wire fences. Very easy to get snagged.

Anyone that has read my blog before will know that I recently switched to Ubuntu as my primary OS however what I haven't mentioned is that I also have a Windows XP virtual machine running for the sole purpose of running Outlook for my work email.
When I set up the virtual machine I was a bit too tight on the amount of space I gave to the primary hard disk image and have very quickly go to the point where Windows is complaining of a lack of space on drive C:
Firstly I moved the swap file to another virtual hard disk which solved the problem for a time but not for long. So I did some searching for files that were taking up space and found my Outlook offline cache file (outlook.ost) was fairly sizable so I wanted to move that too to the other virtual hard disk I'd set up, moving a file should be a straightforward task right? not if Microsoft has anything to do with it. Here are the steps you'll need to follow in order to move your outlook.ost file.
- Close Outlook
- Move (or copy and delete the original at the end if you're paranoid like me) the outlook.ost file from it's current location (usually c:\documents and settings\{user}\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.ost) to a new location
- Open the mail settings applet either from the control panel or by right clicking on your Outlook link and selecting properties.
- Click E-mail Accounts…
- View or change and existing account and click next
- Highlight your exchange email account and click Change…
- Click More settings…
- Uncheck the Use Cached Exchange Mode and click apply
- Click Offline Folder File Settings…
- Click Disable Offline Use and agree with the pop up dialog message.
- This will close the Offline Folder File Settings dialog so click the button again
- You'll find this time that the File: text box can now be edited. Click browse and locate the outlook.ost in its new location and click OK.
- Check the Use Cached Exchange Mode again and click OK.
- Click next and then finish.
- Close the mail settings applet and launch Outlook again.
Your outlook.ost file is now being used from it's new location. Only 15 steps to move one file, and some of those steps I've doubled up on to be kind!
I understand that this has been improved in 2007 but I haven't got a copy of that on hand to verify.
As always, I appreciate your comments. Let me know if this did or didn't help you.

Over the holidays, Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell continued its tradition of sending special boxes of goodies to military personnel deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, and other postings.
"Rumberger folks really got into the holiday spirit this year as we decorated and stuffed stockings for our holiday troop shipment," said Lisa Griffin, a legal assistant at the firm who coordinates the quarterly shipments from Orlando. "We shipped 82 boxes to nine units representing all branches of the service."
Griffin said while some of the troops have Internet access, many don't, so magazines, books, and games are always a big hit.
"It's tough being away from home during the holidays; each box has a very personal touch," Griffin said. "Along with the stockings, we included Santa hats, candy canes, and cards made by children, as well as cards from our staff."
The firm has received positive feedback from the troops.
"Recently, Lt. Bobby Long received a number of care packages from Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell," wrote Capt. Andrew Proyect. "After generously sharing the bounty, I wanted to express appreciation on behalf of the entire unit for the support. From the food, socks, and Orlando magnets (which as a fellow Floridian, I enjoy using to annoy rival sports-team fans), we have truly enjoyed the gifts and support you provided. With us being far away from home this holiday season, it is gifts like these that raise our spirits."
James F. Walsh, Jr., a supervisory special agent, FBI/ALAT/Baghdad, wrote: "Thanks so much for all the boxes. We were surprised when we got five in one day, and even more surprised when we got more a couple days later. We managed to distribute three of the boxes to our fabulous Marines, one to the guys who help keep the office clean, and the others we added to our snack stash. We truly appreciate the thoughtfulness, and the efforts you all make to help us feel more at home."

There's a flap going on between the State Dept. and CNN. I've been watching Fox News and reading about it on line today.
Four days after our consulate was attacked and Ambassador Stevens was killed. CNN was in the consulate and found Amb. Stevens' journal. One does wonder why on day 4 the consulate was not in US protective custody and why CNN and others were allowed to go through the buildings to find whatever was still there.
The State Dept is up in arms because CNN has released some of what Stevens wrote about the growing unrest and threats of terrorism.
The State Dept. is outraged and calls it a "diary" or a "personal" journal. Reports are that it is not a diary, it is a professional journal which contains Stevens' concerns which might also contain his concern over the need for greater protection. I am not sure about that. I have not read nor heard the exact words in the journal.
I think of key importance in this whole flap is ... 4 days later our government had not put the consulate under protection so that anyone was able to go through the buildings and take whatever could be found.
Is the consulate and its contents secure today?

i have done the same thing using pcf8574. but data display on lcd very slowly. what are the speed parameter of i2c ,mcp23017 you have used. does wire length of i2c effects speed.
Also the LCDs have a settling time (you have to poll a pin to see if they are ready) so it could be that speed, and not I2C speed, that is the limiting factor.

I look forward to your comments but please don't send money! Marshall Lev Dermer. Copyright April 29, 1992, Journal of Chemical Education]
Where can new and prospective graduate students obtain candid advice to enhance success in graduate school? Not from most college science teaching journals which have almost exclusively published advice for professors regarding teaching undergraduates. Not from national organizations, graduate schools, and university departments; for "official" advice is rarely frank advice. And not from all faculty and senior graduate students as laboratory lore, unless one is a select "insider." Elsewhere (1), I have asserted that faculty ought to provide new and prospective graduate students frank advice about becoming scientists and doing science; here I present such advice.
As a new graduate student you will be making the transition from consuming knowledge to generating and disseminating knowledge. Although you were selected for your excellent performance in undergraduate courses, what counts most in graduate school is conceiving, conducting, and documenting research. This essay is concerned, therefore, with two issues: (1) selecting an adviser who can best train you, and (2) selecting a research project that can be completed in a reasonable length of time.
If you are not yet in graduate school, it is easier to appreciate the importance of timely progress than the importance of a research adviser (2, 3). Consider, however, that you will become a researcher as an apprentice to your adviser who should provide timely, constructive feedback regarding your attempts to understand nature. Your adviser may also provide various resources like space, equipment, supplies, an assistantship, and summer employment. On earning your degree, your adviser will also write vital letters of recommendation. Your adviser may indirectly also determine who will become your close friends and who will become your spouse.
Those Not at the Bench. Avoid faculty who structure research so that there are multiple layers of authority and who are rarely at the laboratory "bench" (6, 7). I could not find any studies of the supervision of research but often "the professional message to students and colleagues is that intellectual responsibility and seniority is tantamount to removal from the tedium of data collection" (8). Inadequate research supervision is so prevalent in cases of scientific fraud that the American Association of Universities recommends that "students must be directed by experienced scientists. The director should supervise, teach, and encourage in-depth scrutiny and interpretation of results, emphasizing respect for primary data. Routine audit and review of all primary data by the laboratory director is strongly recommended. It is inadvisable for the director to delegate these important functions" [9).
The Perpetual Administrator. Avoid faculty who repeatedly choose to be officers of professional societies, departmental chairs, or editors. These are important activities that contribute to others doing science (10) and that substantially reduce supervision quality, unless you are only one of a few advisees.
It is not possible for even the most motivated and successful undergraduates to have a clear understanding of their research interests. The projects are way too complex for college seniors to comprehend. The technology will almost always involve equipment and approaches never seen or imagined before. Students at best understand their inclinations: "I like computers," or "I've always enjoyed mathematics." More than that is probably rare. The search for common ground is usually a case of a research director convincing a willing subject of the compatibility of their interests. It is not the same thing as genuine mutual interests. There is simply too great a disparity between their respective scientific sophistication and their degree of understanding of the entire graduate study process. (11)
Someone with Compatible Interests. All organizations offer people common means to diverse ends. Even if you cannot work in a laboratory in which the research goals are similar to your own, the laboratory procedures may be relevant to your goals. It is quite possible, of course, that as you work in this "second best" laboratory you may become interested in the research problems there. Consider the experiences that determined your current research interests.
Scholars: Renowned Researchers. Seek people who love science and are obsessive about research. They will document their work in articles, published in respected journals, that often describe a series of inter-locking experiments concerned with a single problem. When researchers value their work and others agree, others will extend the work. Invited articles and presentations to professional societies suggest that a researcher's work is well-received.
Grant support from major research foundations, for example, the National Science Foundation, indicates that other scientists judge this person to have made significant contributions. Such grant support is allocated competitively; more competitively than is space in major journals. A history of grant support from major foundations is, therefore, very impressive. Most impressive is a researcher who holds a special position where a university or a foundation has granted the person a lifetime of research support.
There are potential problems working with renowned researchers. In areas where research costs require grant support, such advisers may be unable to offer help because they are busy writing grant proposals, justifying grants, administering grants, and supervising post-doctoral students.[1] Another problem is that others will wonder whether you or your adviser conceived jointly authored work and even your dissertation! Complicating all this is the possibility that post-doctoral students may be your actual mentors.
Scholars: Less-Renowned Researchers. These researchers' records will have many of the attributes discussed above; often a record of grant support will be absent. Where research costs are small, such faculty can also be excellent advisers. Seek an adviser who knows quite a bit about your area, is enthusiastic about research, and, of course, readily offers help.
It is possible to have the best of both research types! If there are renowned researchers in your department include them on your research committee (with your adviser's consent), seek their advice and eventually, if all goes well, seek their letters of recommendation and "connections" without the potential liabilities of having one serve as your adviser (12). This option, of course, is only available to students in large graduate programs.
Someone You Can Respect. If your adviser is honest, ethical, loves doing science and is reasonably successful, it would also be nice if you liked your adviser (and vice versa)! But choosing or keeping an adviser primarily because he or she is nice is a mistake. A nice person may withhold frank evaluations of your knowledge, skills, and progress. If you have an excellent adviser, your feelings toward your adviser might best be labeled as respect.
Changing advisers is a delicate matter, particularly if your adviser has invested much time in your education. When considering changing advisers, it is best to have an honest discussion (14). Perhaps working conditions or your relationship can be changed. If you do change advisers, it is courteous to give your adviser adequate time, perhaps a month or two if research is in progress, to plan for the change. Remember, just as some divorced couples remarry there is always the possibility that you might want to work with your original adviser, so follow the "golden rule."
If you believe your adviser is unethical then you should definitely find another one. If some serious instance of your adviser behaving inappropriately is discovered, for example, fraudulent treatment of data, your reputation will suffer too.
By the way, if if you believe your adviser has intentionally engaged in serious, inappropriate behavior then it is most important that you immediately and carefully document it. Have the date of documentation certified by a notary public. The notary where you bank will most likely do this gratis. The next step depends on many factors. "Dealing with Sexual Harrassment" (15) provides excellent advice appropriate to many kinds of complaints. Other help can be found under the Library of Congress subject heading "Grievance procedures--United States."
Unlike Pavlov, your adviser may not be very active and you may be unable work with a better one. In this case, you can search journals and attend conferences to locate a procedure and problem that currently is important to you and other researchers. A portion of your research can be a fairly literal replication of a recently published work, whereas the remainder can be an extension that contributes to the solution of the problem. After consulting with your adviser, you may want to outline your interests in a letter to the original investigator and ask if you can visit his or her laboratory. If the procedure is very valuable, the investigator will still be using it. While visiting you will be able to see the procedure in action and talk with knowledgeable laboratory members.
If you replicate work in another laboratory, it is likely that when you submit your report for publication that the original researcher (or one or more collaborators) will be a reviewer. This reviewer will, of course, be quite happy to see his or her recent work independently replicated and extended. If you picked an important procedure and problem, then other reviewers will be similarly impressed.
If you are ambitious, of course, you may want to develop an entirely new procedure (18). You should discuss the ensuing risks and benefits with your research committee before you begin the work. A six-question test has been proposed for faculty to assess the quality of a student's research idea (19); these questions may help with your research.
There is, of course, no magic formula that will provide personal satisfaction, professional success, or enhance the quality of science. Furthermore, there are plenty of important issues I have avoided like "Should you attend graduate school in the same department in which you earned your undergraduate degree (20-22)?" It is important, therefore, that you discuss the issues raised here with students and faculty.
As first noted, advice is available from "official" sources including professional associations, graduate schools, and departments. Frank advice, of course, is more likely found in "unofficial" sources including: texts (23-32), biographies (33), and a few journal articles (34-36). Library of Congress subject headings for locating more recent texts are available (37). Frank advice is also exchanged on the USENET conferences: "soc.college.grad," "sci.edu," "sci.physics," etc.
Finally, you might propose that an upper-level, undergraduate/graduate seminar be created to discuss these important issues. A molecular biophysicist put the matter this way: "Beginning graduate students must make what may well be the most important choice of their careers adviser and research topic at a time when they are most lacking the knowledge to choose well" (38). I, of course, consider providing frank advice a professional obligation. I believe that other scientists would agree and would enjoy discussing these issues in a seminar (39).

In Bartholomew Biddle and the Very Big Wind, Gary Ross tells the story of an adventurous boy
Gary Ross is the writer, director and producer behind the film versions of popular books like Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games, Kate DiCamillo's The Tale of Desperaux, and Laura Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit. Now, Ross is creating his own source material with the release of his first original book for kids, Bartholomew Biddle and the Very Big Wind. The 92-page book, illustrated by Matthew Myers, is written entirely in rhyming verse. It tells the tale of a boy who uses his bed sheet to fly and goes on an adventure, where he encounters three very different worlds.
Ross stopped by the TFK offices, in New York City, to chat about the book. Read the Q&A below, then scroll down or click here to watch Ross read an excerpt from Bartholomew Biddle and the Very Big Wind, available now in bookstores.
Your book, Bartholomew Biddle and the Very Big Wind, has been nearly 20 years in the making, correct?
Really, I probably wrote most of it over the last three years. [In the 90s], a friend of mine asked me to write a children's story for a movie he was making that one character could read to her child when she was putting him to sleep. I said, "Sure, if it can rhyme," because I always loved to rhyme. I just wrote a few stanzas, and he put it in the movie. In the years that followed, a lot of people wrote in about those lines and said, "Where can we buy this kid's book? This sounds wonderful, Bartholomew Biddle." But it didn't exist. So I started to think that maybe I should [write the whole book].
It's, of course, all in verse, but it's a narrative. It's not difficult to read like a poem would be. The rhyme just makes it more fun, and I think it's a different way to read a book. It's an adventure story, so it was a blast to write.
What inspired the character himself, this very curious, adventurous boy?
Well I think everybody's adventurous, right? It's just a question of unlocking it. We all have a desire to break out of where we are and the things that hold us back. Everybody wants to take that kind of a journey, even if it's in the mind. But Bartholomew doesn't really follow the rules as much as he probably should. He has his own mind, he's very independent and he has wanderlust. He wants to take a big bite out of the world.
Bartholomew visits three different worlds: the island of pirates, the oppressive school and the canyon. What does each of these places symbolize?
When he goes to this world where the pirates are, they live only for pleasure, which is fun for a little while, but it's like too much dessert. At a certain point, Bartholomew realizes that pleasure is best enjoyed when it's a part of your life, not all of your life.
At the school that he then visits, he sees a lot of kids. It's a very oppressive place. There is no color or life to it, and it has so many rules that the kids are just crumbling under the weight of that. I think a lot of kids relate to that. Bartholomew really embraces his freedom, so he helps another boy who is there learn to embrace his. There's a lot of stuff we learn in school, but one of the things we also need to learn is how to be free and be our own person.
Then the last place Bartholomew goes is this canyon of the winds. Everybody who has ever been hit by a high wind was blown into this place, and so there's a balloonist, a golfer, pioneers in a covered wagon, Amelia Earhart . . . So he meets a lot of adventurers like himself, who have taken that big leap. But Bartholomew has a desire to get out, where a lot of them lost it over time, so he keeps that alive in himself in order to go home because, let's face it, everybody wants to go home.
There are a lot of lessons and things that Bartholomew learns embedded into each of the places. Are these things that you taught your own kids when they were growing up?
Well, I taught them or they taught me. (Laughs) The big secret parents always keep is how much we learn from our kids. It's about growing up and how much you experience and [how] it makes you a fuller, richer, deeper person, and I think that's what happens to Bartholomew. He grows up enough to want to go home.
Will there be more adventures for Bartholomew in the future?
That's a good question. I think quite possibly. He does have that bed sheet, so there are other places he can go.

These are great! I only paid 40 dollars for these!! They should be priced at 60. They sound amazing, great bass and are so comfortable that after a while you don't even feel them on your head. Some On Ear headphones fall off you head easily but these do not.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Glenora Ghillie
Sorry to have missed you too. Remember Dresden in December for lakers and I'm 50% closer to NB and Gaspe.
All the best,
Sorry to hear you've moved away. We never did get a chance to pursue the LLS together.
|Glenora Ghillie
I just found this forum and post about an upcoming trip to Aruba in the bonefisha forum, I'm a recent transplant from the finger lakes to Conway NH and have fished that area and LO for many years. The LLS in New York are sebago strain and at this moment are a put and take fishery, due to EMS from the alewives. LO attempts to create a real population have failed and the salmon river hatchery has discontinued the atlanic program. Very sad. This is not to sat there aren't atlantics in LO and the LLS fishing in the fingerlakes is nothing short of outstanding, PM me for details.
I'll be going to SR next weekend for my bach party to mess around with the pacifics, they are just starting to show and its fun to fish upthere before the masses attack. I fish a 12' rod with an array of sinktips for those guys and they will slap a swinging fly.
I did fish for brookstock a couple of weeks ago below the dam in manchester and the water looked great, 67 degree water was not too great and smallies took my flies on the swing real well.....I haven't gotten to do much else as far as salar, execpt to the Andro, and had a ball with little fish on caddis.
Tight lines,
Edwards Dam
Seems to me I read that when the Edwards dam was removed it not only opened up 17 miles of main river but quickly led to repopulation by fish species that were kept out by the dam. Shad was particularly mentioned but it appears that while a few atlantics have been observed, salar repopulation is going very slowly.
You're too kind, thank you - I am grateful for the generous meal at the clave and admire what you are doing to pull anglers into a unified force to ensure we don't get fooled again.
On a related topic, if folks haven't already seen this one it's a cool web media offering from National Geographic...
Yeah thats real cool. I believe that some Canadians from the U. of Guelph are working on that. They think that the Patagonia fish were originally sourced from Lake Sebago in Maine and in turn those fish were originally from Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes. Last I heard the biologists working on the project were looking for old Lake Ontario mounts for DNA comparison to the South American fish. I was talking to one of the MNR biologists about some of this stuff (he also happened to be at the SR Clave this weekend). Lots of hurdles to overcome (i.e. Early Mortality Syndrome, competitive interaction w/ Pacific Salmon during spawning, political forces, etc) but they definitely have the nursery habitat up on the north shore. Time will tell I guess.
BTW fantastic presentation and casting Juro. Amazing watching you fire out that Carron after the show makes the average stiff like me want to get out and practice .
|Salar 33
Dear Juro & Dmas,
Today there is a small but increasing number of Atlantics ascending the tribs of Lake Ontario. Fish and Game has worked very hard toward this goal. The Salmon River is one of them. During July the dam released water is increased to give good flow for recreational kayaks and the Salmon move up the river.
In addition I have heard that fish from the original eggs that were transported to South America for seeding are alive and well and are of Lake Ontario origin. I am hoping that what was taken will return.
Dmas -
Devastating to read...
Upon reading the link, I had another even more stark revelation:
the name "Salmon River" did not come from introduced pacific salmon... but from it's unimaginably prolific atlantic salmon population before we 'played God' and destroyed it.
As sad as any American salmon disaster story I've ever read.
Salar 33 -
Thanks for sharing your retrospective of the plight of the Merrimac salmon and I admire your passion. I agree that the Pemi is as beautiful a river as one can imagine and a lost AS gem.
For those of you who are Upstate NY residents
check out this link for a paper on the historical abundance of Atlantic Salmon in New York. The fish were incredibly prolific and had managed to colonize much of the state including all the way down to the south end of Seneca Lake. Salmon River fish averaged 15 pounds and ranged to well up over 40lbs.
Every time I read this it is almost too much for me to bear.
|Salar 33
My Home River
Hey Juro,
It must have been just a dreadful sight the year after Mr. Lowell built the Essex dam. The mighty Merrimac was a substantial salmon river and there would have been many thousands tiring in vein to reach the headwaters in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I like to think of her as my home river.
For six years in the 1980's I spent every free hour during the run between Haverhill and the Essex Dam in Lawrence Massachusetts. Mid May until the first week of July. The results were this one fish. That was the last time I have wet a line for bright salmon on the river.
I am responding to this thread because I want to let everyone who reads it understand that the numbers of salmon in the river are extremely small. In addition, during the run the numbers of places to fish are minimal due to mountain run off and rain. This river fishes extremely large and it took me years of searching to learn but a few of the holding spots. This is clearly not a viable fishery.
Now, in addition to the possible loss of the program for brights due to funding, will be the loss of the brood stock fish. These brood stock fish, that range from 3 to 12 or more pounds, are stocked in the Pemigewasset and Merrimack during the spring and fall. Strictly for angling pleasure. Bristol N.H. has some of the finest looking Atlantic salmon water I have ever seen. It is a place of great imagination of what the past must have been.
I have heard of these fish finding their way down below Lawrence. Juro, if you had a bright fish take it would mean that it didn't find the ladder. I am only speculating but I do hope that is what is holding there. They act very much like bright fish and can scream line. They take a fly on the swing just like the real thing.
I would like to believe that down stream passage would be the answer to the rivers returns. I now believe that what is lost will never be regained. If we could get DNA of a Merrimac river fish we might have a chance. But the fact is that Mr. Lowell in all his wealth and ambition was mindless of Salars future.
I go to the river to clear my mind. I take from the river what flows by as each moment becomes history. The thoughts of my home river are reflected in time. My age is a harsh reality as I look at this photo.
Unfortunately they take longer to build back up than they do to nock them down. The Penobscot used to get over 20,000 fish in the early 80's. I think it was in 2000 or 2001 they were down to 500 fish. There was about 1100 fish in 2003. I was not able to get a count for 2004.
Lets hope the recent restoration efforts will help them come back.
P.S. It was estimated that 1436 fish came back to the entire U.S. in 2003.
If Maine is the last hope
I am a firm believer that if you build it they will come. I think that if the habitat were restored, the fish would eventually find themselves there and establish themselves. What an azaing xperience while taking a smoking break.
Urban atlantics
I work near an urban stretch of river, first dam from salt.
Yesterday making the excuse I wanted some dinner I snuck out from coding and meetings to take a few casts before the upcoming clave. I had a large piece of olive yarn and a long leader to try to emphasize my anchor and turnover, throwing primarily single speys occasionally to the knot for practice on the steelhead specialist. Without any waders I was suffering from bank/brush interference.
Anyway, as I was swinging the yarn down on a floating line, downriver mend and nearly skating, a huge boil took the yarn down and I felt a heavy and familiar headshake! Instinctively I turned the rod to one side and the fish took a run and some drag (very light due to practice cast setting) and lightly came off with a thrust of it's familiar shaped tail.
Soon after I noticed in the distant seam a head and tail roll as evening fell, and some urban anglers showed up. They asked "did you get one?" I said I was just practicing but what are they getting? They said their friend came home with a large salmon earlier in the day, undoubtedly a survivor from the federal restoration program poached and I am not referring to preparation for the table.
I will call the EP today to see what the regs are, I'd like to see these fish left alone. However it did make my dreams of the Canadian Maritimes come alive, or perhaps a Scotland trip like Andre just made, etc.
As far as restoration, all it would take is what they're doing now plus two-way passage around dams. If they could only get back to the Coolidge Woods stretch in the Pemi again to spawn!
And the upper Connecticut is a bounty of Vermont and NH spring fed tributaries feeding a salmon factory of an American river, now cut off at the arms and legs with dams too numerous to count.
Maine is the American salmon angler's last hope, we should be as active as possible in helping that cause any way we can.
The American atlantic salmon. What a concept, I was reminded of it in stark fashion last evening.

Good news for TB awareness – India's Open Source Drug Discovery initiative, Vigyan Prasar start Youtube competition
New Delhi: In an innovative approach to spread awareness about the need for researching new drugs for TB, OSDD, India's Open Source Drug Discovery initiative along with Vigyan Prasar, an autonomous body under the Department of Science and Technology have called for video entries based on the theme, 'The need for TB drugs'.
The theme is in line with OSDD's efforts towards finding an effective cure for diseases such as TB and malaria. The video can be of a duration of maximum five minutes. OSDD is a growing movement which has of late gained traction with scientists worldwide, with organizations such as Infosys, ICGEB, IGIB, IMTECh, JNU,HP, University of Cambridge, Sun Microsystems and more partnering in this inspiring initiative.
Initiated in September 15, 2008, it is the brain child of Dr Samir Brahmachari, DG CSIR, India. Recent newspaper reports suggested that CSIR is getting set to conduct clinical trials for one of the candidate drugs for TB this year. OSDD is supported by direct funding from the Government of India, to the tune of $12 million (Rs46 crore) with an overall project outlay of about $46 million.
Anyone above the age of 18 can enter this competition, including students who are currently studying in various educational institutes. The participants can either upload the video, on the most widely used platform for videos in the world, Youtube, and then send its URL along with the entry form; or send the video as an email attachment to the authorities. Additionally a DVD/CD of the video can also be sent to the given address by mail.
Cash prizes will be given for the first, second and third place winners as well as 20 merit prizes will be distributed. Deadline for sending in the videos closes on November 26,2012. The entry form as well as the additional information is available at the OSDD website.
