|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Those reef / flats at Malmok are hard coral and 'dem bones will cut you off very quickly. I actually hooked several but landed only two.
Get that rod up and line tight quickly when they run or expect to be thrilled for a short time only.
There are also small waves coming over the coral edge there and when the bones are looking for a snack in the skinny water they spook from splashing flies.
Bring some weightless flies and try to lead them further ahead so they meet up at the same depth, or cast into a wave peak closer to the fish as opposed to the flat between waves with a weighted fly like a gotcha and they don't spook.
Bring high quality polarized lenses and shoes that can withstand the coral. One hunk of coral I stood on provided a surprise - a moray eel lived in it and popped out with jaws agape.
Morning and evening calm are very good times for this area IMHO.
I haven't spent as much time in this stretch as arubaman has so his advice is definitely valuable.
Good luck!
Thanks Mr Mukai, more info is what I need! I will write down what you and what others have said. On a side note I got to meet your daughter through my girlfriend in Boston a while ago. She said that you were a great fly fisherman and it seems true! Anyways thanks for the info it will go into my little notebook.
the fish rove along the shore so you have to find them from day to day
they were thick as theives at the wreck one day and sparse the next, gone the day after
the section of beach near the airport at Orangestaad to the cove near the bunker attracts bones too, off hours rising tide
the locals catch them on the south end when handlining for food fish (baby beach, rogers beach etc)
Thanks arubaman!
Hey, thanks arubaman, I'll be bringing the 12 weight if I get a chance to do some offshore fly fishing. 12 weight for bones hahaha that would be crazy! Yea im excited that the wreck where some have had success with bones is near the Marriot. I'll definitely be hitting that spot often. I may try to bring a spin rod but will probably just bring fly rods. Thanks again for the great info.
Hi Korea,
as a native I can give you some tips.
I think a twelve is very heavy, bu who knows, myself I usually use an 8 and that will be sufficient for casting almost everywhere.
Charters there are a lot out there, they´ll go out for dolphin (dorado), wahoo and other nice big stuff, most likely the thing they´ll catch is some small baracuda´s. If you go out on a charter, ask them if it is possible to go to the north side of the the island. Westpunt has got a lot of wahoo and another very nice place but a couple of hours of cruising with a boat is Bajo. Bajo is a structure on the south-east of the island where depth rises up from 300ft or deeper up to 20ft or less.
The spanish lagoon will be very hard, there are no possibilities to cast flies from the shore and there is a "bridge" that lies in the water which blocks of any entrance possibilities for boats.
Marriot is perfect, in the mornings, walk out at dawn (or a litlle earlier) and when you arrive at the beach go to the right. Then just follow the shore. The sun in your back in the morning, the wind not yet so hard and also in your back, that is just perfect. If you walk to the right you´ll arrive at one of your best chances for Bones, the flat at Malmok where the shipwreck lies. Outside of the Marriot allready you can start spotting, Bones will sometimes be tailing just 2-15 feet from shore, carefull not to spook them. getting closer to Malmok you´ll pass by a trailer where they rent surf-equipment and give surfing lessons. From here on it turns a little more into a flat and you can consider wading out of the shore a bit untill you are standing in 3 ft of water. Then just walk parallel to the shore.
The whole walk to the stranded wreck is about 10-20 minutes, so you are on the good spot!
Other places I still did not find out everything about but maybe worth of checking out for Bonefish is going to the left and walk across the shoreline in front of the hotels. When I was young we caught a lot of Bones and Palometa´s in that zone, from marriot to hyatt.
If you really consider tarpon, I think your best shot will be to cheat on the flie fishing and bring a long some spinner and casting gear, the bridge at the spanish lagoon is perfect for making far casts and this gives you some chances to hook up a tarpon.
Aruba is not the best, but there sure is fish to be caught and it is perfect to combine with a family-trip.
Ciao, Sander
ps. local fisherman can sometimes help, bring a long some pictures of bones etc. and the name of the bone is "warashi". Tarpon is Sabalo in papiamento.
Aruba bound 16-25 of November
Hey everyone. I am going to Aruba with the family this November. I will be staying at the Marriot and I was given free reign in terms of what I can to do while there from my parents. So I plan on roaming the island fly rod in hand for at least part of every day I am there. My brother and I plan on bringing 8, 10, 12 weight rods with us on this trip. I read and re read all the reports and hopefully with some luck I can tie into a bonefish or for that matter anything that will put a bend in our rods. I am also really interested in Spanish Lagoon as I was given the OK to rent or charter a boat for a day. I would love to catch a Tarpon if I got a shot at some. Also my father and my 2 brothers are going to do an offshore trip. Any ideas of a good charter and is it possible to maybe hire a fisherman with a small skiff to take us around? Anyways I am really excited. Thanks everyone and tight lines!

A little late for an update but what the heck....
I was out in March 2005 and tried Arashi beach on two days. I walked from the beach back to the hotels in the early AM and didn't see anything until I got to the small "marina" near the Marriot.
There are tons of cruising fish in and around this little cove and I hooked into my first saltwater fish ever....a bluegill sized Jack. He wasn't much but made bringing the gear worth it.
If I go back, I'm going to save myself the long walk and just mess around at the marina.
Carefull with the fence crossing, it is not the idea of the fence and after 9-11, can you imagine what your own customs officers will do? I can assure you the fence is not placed there for nothing, if you duck it like mentioned above here, the planes will fly about 15ft over your head. Your rod tube may look like a bazooka and I cannot garanty you won´t get into trouble....
Why botter fishing that site if there´s more other good ones around. About the lagoon, on which side of the old bridge was it? (the bridge through the water I mean) Because a biologist I know told me they were on the landside of it, but from the shore there´s no way of casting there. Maybe with a spinning reel, but flyfishing? I hope I can finally talk my dad into a lightweight boat or 2 kayaks, he says he won´t use ém that much so it will be a waste of money, but if I read all the posts and know how curious everybody is... Why shouldn´t he buy something, maybe you guys want to even pay him something to rent it or we can buy it with a bunch of people and stock it at my parents place...
|The area looked very good but I was a little hesitant to duck under the fence because of post-911 concerns but found them cruising at Malmok and landed a couple. When you caught all those tarpon and snook were you fishing from a boat in Spanish Lagoon?
|I spent almost a year in Auba back in 2002. I caught mainly tarpon & snook in the Spanish Lagoon. I got tired of them and looked all over for the bonefish with little luck at first. I found the biggest numbers and largest fish behind the airport. There is a fence you can duck under near the runway. Just look for them tailing. I hooked one that was definately over 10# and was spooled in less than 30 seconds. I caught several in that area. Another good place was a little flat behind the refinery. They were there every afternoon after work.
Hi Tim,
my favourite Fly was Crazy Charly (brown, orange). Size didn't matter.
|Stinky Tim
Goin' back for more
I was in Aruba last spring and flyfished west of the hotel area and also on the south end of the west point with no luck. I'm heading back in March and plan to try Baby Beach and the other spots you mentioned.
What flies did you have the best luck with?
|The Aruba Bonefish Club GROWS!
Congratulations Arubaman!
I just came back home from your wonderfull island. Unfortunately i forgot to take your phonenumber to Aruba and couldn't find the TortugaInformationstand! However it was great again. I caught 4 Bones ( 3 on the small flat next to the Aruba Grand and 1 at the wreck). Best fishing was in the early morning or at sunset at Half moon, later on with a full moon the Tide was much higher, the winddirection changed, and fishing slowed down. Have you been fishing at the wreck( blue Columbia shirt?)
It was a fantastic vacation again and i look forward to be on Aruba next christmas!
As flyfishermen amongst each other I can guarantee you I'll let you know where to go, what to look for and what sites are hot in my experience.
I also figured out a tide tabel on the internet which could be worth of printing (it has prospects for about a year long) Some places are better with high or rising tide some places even not fishable at all with low tide.
So keep watching the forum, I'll keep in touch. For now, make enough flies, crazy charlies and clousers. Best ones I fished till now are with white and brown, white and black, white and olive shouyld be good for malmok I guess, with a little bit of flash in it. And the dark side must be the back/upper part of your flie, remember de hook stands up. 8wt rod, a lot of backing and some steel wire for accidental barracuda's.
One question in general I came up with today, can you fish for bones with a stealwire? today I lost 4 or 5 flies on Cuda's, then decided to put some wire on my tippet, but is it then still good for bones?
Bye for now.

Hanging out with friends in Ottawa, YAPC, B.C., Calgary, Ottawa, back home, sleep-deprived stupor, work, etc.
YAPC was pretty fun. As usual I didn't get enough sleep. My talk didn't go nearly as well as I'd hoped. I need to bite the bullet and actually practice these things ahead of time. I did, however, control my slides with the power of my voice!
I am working on really fun stuff now, namely converting cluster-based unit selection databases from Festival to work with Flite. I'm still managing to avoid writing any Scheme code, and have ended up using Perl to parse Scheme data and write out C. It works really well, so I don't care...
There's a lot of work to be done in shrinking and optimizing databases which should keep my busy for a while.
As a consequence, I'm finally really getting acquainted with the internals of the TTS engine. It's amazing how much more straightforward some things become when they're expressed as well-written code. Of course, I may not have been able to understand the code as well without the prior explanations.
It's also deceptive because some of the algorithms are very simple in implementation and "just work", but rely on a frightening amount of signal-processing-fu or statistics-fu to explain why exactly they just work. Unfortunately there's a tendency in some papers and books I've read to throw down the big scary math *first* and then eventually derive the practical implementation.

Shares of VMware (VMW) are higher by $2.56, or 2.5%, at $99.92, after the company this morning said it will spend $1.2 billion in cash, plus $365 million in supplementary installment payments, to buy startup AirWatch, which develops software to let IT manage mobile devices, including Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and smartphones running Google's (GOOG) Android software.
AirWatch's software will complement VMware's "VDI" desktop virtualization software, and will have links to management tools within VMware's "vSphere" management console.
The company also reported preliminary financials for Q4, which it doesn't formally report until January 28th. The company said revenue was $1.48 billion last quarter, up 15%, and slightly ahead of the $1.47 billion average estimate of analysts.
The company said on a call following the news release that its outlook for revenue growth this year goes to 16% from 15% to include about $75 million of AirWatch revenue. VMware is now targeting a growth rate of 16% to 20% over 2015 and 2016, respectively, which is up from a prior outlook for 15% and 20%.
AirWatch had more than $100 million in software bookings last year, among the stats cited by VMware on the call.
CEO Pat Gelsinger was kind enough to spend a few minutes by phone talking about the deal this morning. AirWatch is the "clear leader," he contends, in a market of several contenders, including BlackBerry (BBRY), Citrix Systems (CTXS), privately held Good Technology, and startup MobileIron. As evidence of that, he cited AirWatch having 10,000 customers, including 9 of the top 10 retailers, such as Best Buy (BBY), and Walgreen's (WAG); he also noted the company is at the top of Gartner's "Magic Quadrant" analysis that is often used to rank companies in various tech categories.
Shares of Citrix are down 69 cents, or 1%, at $60.80.
I asked about BlackBerry, which is repositioning itself under CEO John Chen to focus more on enterprise software, and less on sales of devices. But Gelsinger said that "the idea of bring-your-own-device" is enabling multiple devices; nobody believes they [BlackBerry] have built the capabilities to support this broad set of devices." (For more background on the market, see my Technology Trader column in Barron's print magazine from last year.)
When I asked about Gelsinger's intent to continue the acquisition path, and he was resolute about there being lots of opportunities.
"We will continue to do organic and inorganic investments, but we are not going to stop our acquisition strategy."
"The industry is making this violent, tectonic shift from client-server [computing] to a mobile and cloud era."
"The priorities for IT are mobile, cloud, and security, and our strategy is to be well-positioned, uniquely capable in those areas."
The Street this morning likes the deal, bringing the VMware bulls out of the woodwork.
Mizuho U.S. Equity Research's Abhey Lamba reiterates a Buy rating on VMware shares, and a $110 price target, writing that the deal is "a net positive," and that "As expected, VMW beat consensus for 4Q13 and guided 2014 relatively in-line with consensus after adjusting for AirWatch."
This market is still in early stages, he writes:
Although AirWatch is significantly dilutive in the near-term due to its revenue model and needs for investment, we think it is a function of the market being in early stages and should drive significant growth over the longer term as is indicated by management's decision to raise the low-end of its 2015-16 growth outlook. Lastly, while acquisition also implies increased competition for CTXS, we believe the market is large enough to allow multiple players to thrive.
FBN Securities's Shebly Seyrafi reiterates an Outperform rating on VMWare, and a $115 price target, writing that the deal is a "slight negative" for Citrix:
The AirWatch acquisition pits VMW even more against arch-competitor CTXS (which has competed quite well against VMW in virtual desktop). CTXS closed its acquisition of mobile MDM company Zenprise in early 2013 (CTXS now sells Zenprise's product as XenMobile), and VMW is now countering with AirWatch. According to Gartner, AirWatch is big with airlines, pharmaceuticals, energy, and retail customers.
Seyrafi also notes that the new forecast for this year and the next two is slightly concerning, as it implies some downside to prior forecasts:
Shares could come under pressure today as the company is lowering its F2014 NG operating margin guidance by ~300bp to ~31% from ~34% before as it makes additional investments in AirWatch (note that it would have retained its F2014 NG operating margin guidance of 34% for the standalone VMW part). Still, VMW does expect AirWatch to be accretive at the end of F2015. Also concerning […] . Note that the midpoint of F2014 revenue guidance is $6.02B, and this includes $75M of AirWatch revenue. Therefore, standalone VMW is guided to have revenue of $5.945B (again, using the midpoint), which would be up 14.2% Y/Y (below the prior 15-20% guidance). Still, this growth rate would have been 14.6% (rounds to 15%) had the midpoint of the $1.45-$1.48B revenue guidance (or $1.465B) been achieved in FQ4. However, since the company just issued a positive preannouncement, it does have a slightly more difficult compare next year.
Regarding BlackBerry, Evercore's Mark McKechnie, who writes that he has "been tracking and writing about AirWatch for the past several years," reiterates an Equal Weight rating on BlackBerry stock, and a $7 price target, writing that AirWatch's programs are more "open," even though they can't fully manage the BlackBerry handset itself. He thinks the deal makes AirWatch more of a threat to BlackBerry's "BES" management software, which he views as a business in decline:
We have long viewed AirWatch as truly open player as it does not produce its own handsets. Thus smart phone vendors such as Samsung [Electronics (005930KS)] which is partnered with AirWatch for its SAFE (Samsung Android for Enterprise) and super secure Knox program and others are less threatened and thus more open to cooperation than with BBRY with which they have an inherent competitive conflict. We note the one "hole" is with BBRY devices which according to our checks do not offer visibility / transparency to AirWatch's MDM platform and thus may actually prove less secure when run by an enterprise which uses the AirWatch solution […] We view the broader go-to-market platform of VMWare / AirWatch as a much larger threat to BBRY which we believe will accelerate the relegation of BBRY to a high-end niche supplier to enterprises with advanced security and/or regulatory requirements […] We estimate growth on the order of 50% / year for AirWatch going forward and potentially more with the VMW synergies. Conversely, we value BBRY's Enterprise Services business at ~ $1.1B based on an assumption that the business declines to ~ $1.26B annually at 15% operating margins based on 35M subscribers (down from ~ 65M currently).

June 15, 2013: Dead In The Head
Move over Bath Salts users, another kind of real world "zombie" has been making the news rounds.
I first heard of the Cotard Delusion in a recent MSN article. Those unfortunate enough to be afflicted by this rare disorder feel a detachment from their bodies, which can sometimes lead them to believe they're dead.
If only someone on the internet could do a little research, and compile a list of . . . oh I don't know . . . let's say, 10 of the most unusual documented cases. Oh wait the guys at Mental Floss already did exactly that. They even came up with a catchier title than mine.

Woohoo! 3Dwm 0.3.0 has been released. Granted, this was Wednesday last week, but the rest of the week was too hectic for me to be able to get a diary entry in somewhere. I'm already preparing for 0.3.1, which will be a bugfix release and will remedy some of the minor problems that have appeared since 0.3.0 hit the street.
In totally unrelated news, my girlfriend Johanna has received an Au Pair position in Milan, Italy, and will be gone for nine months. This is both good and bad news: good, since this is what she has been wanting to do for some time now, and I'll get to visit Italy for the first time ever; bad, since this means that I won't get to see her that often and I am going to miss her like crazy. Oh well.

Public health preparedness
The impact of pandemic influenza outbreaks on individuals and societies can be reduced by being well prepared. This means having a comprehensive plan, that has been tested and refined through conducting exercises, engaging the whole of society.
National plans should be flexible enough to respond to outbreaks of various intensity. Communication will be one of the most challenging tasks during an outbreak and it should be planned well in advance.

Road trip to the Ozarks in just a few days from now with my son. We're off to the reunion of WWII vets from the 416th Bomb Group again this year. It's sad to know we've lost some members since the last one. The vets are really cool people.
Then we're of to the University of Oklahoma where my son has designs to get his bachelor's in meteorology. We'll see how that goes. He had planned to stay in-state and go to San Jose State, but they (and all other Calif. state universities) are only accepting freshmen students and no transfers whatsoever. It's fun living in an imploding train wreck of a state.
Should be a fun trip!

The sites had to meet the world
body's strict criteria to be included on the prestigious list of 830 sites
around the world and Israel carefully protects and fosters
them to ensure their preservation for future generations.
UNESCO honored Masada as a symbol of Jewish cultural identity and of the
human struggle for freedom from oppression. Masada's
construction by Herod the Great is also considered an extraordinary
example of an early Roman villa, and the Roman siege works surrounding the
plateau are the most complete in the world. Masada National
Park continues to upgrade in response to its World
Heritage status, most recently with an innovative new museum displaying some of
the most precious finds of its excavations.
UNESCO also considers the White
City of Tel Aviv to be outstanding – in synthesizing architectural trends of the
Modern Movement and integrating them into local conditions. The buildings of the
City are one of Tel Aviv's
latest attractions, as the knots of visitors and locals, who can be seen
perusing them on Dizengoff, Rothschild and other streets, attest.
UNESCO has determined that the Biblical Tels – Megiddo, Hazor and Beersheba, are also testimony to cultural exchanges along major ancient highways. Their intricate water systems which are highlights of a visit to these sites, also show ingenuity and ancient community cooperation. The sites, with their palaces, ramparts and storehouses, are also grand remnants of great ancient civilizations, and show the power of the biblical narrative.

Cookie mix and brownie mix make this decadent recipe super-simple, and using your slow-cooker makes it even easier to prepare.
Since slow cookers often cook differently, the first time you cook a cake in the slow cooker may take some trial and error to find the right amount of time to cook the cake to doneness. Start gently lifting the cover at about 2 hours, pressing the center of the cake lightly with your finger. If it doesn't spring back to the touch, replace the cover, and check every 15 minutes until done.
A Watched Crock Never Cooks... A slow cooker that's opened doesn't cook, so try not to peek! Keep the cover on unless a recipe tells you to remove it. Removing the cover allows heat to escape and adds 15 to 20 minutes to the cooking time each time you peek.
Baking spray with flour is like nonstick cooking spray, but with the addition of flour. When used in this recipe, it makes the slow cooker cleanup quick and simple!

Salvador Dalí produced two of the most hilarious objects spawned by the Surrealist movement, his Lobster telephone 1936 and Mae West lips sofa 1937. Both objects were commissioned from the artist by the English poet and collector Edward James (1907-1984), a wealthy and eccentric patron who had inherited a vast English estate and fortune at the age of five, and who has been aptly described as 'virtually a present-day adumbration of the mad Ludwig of Bavaria, capaciously rich and richly capricious, only a little less than Ludwig in wealth and eccentricity.' A leading supporter of the Surrealists, James financed the early issues of the great Surrealist magazine Minotaure, and was also an active patron of the Belgian artist René Magritte, whom he met through Dalí. James spent a small fortune on Dalí himself, and eventually owned between forty and fifty of his best works, all from the 1930s (his greatest period).
Inspired by Dalí, Edward James proceeded in the 1930s to turn his country manor into a fantasy palace filled with every kind of strange and exotic object. As well as placing three of Dalí's sofas in the shape of Mae West's lips into his living quarters, James asked Dalí to 'make-over' his telephones as well. Dali suggested that James fill his rooms with what he called 'The surrealist object - one that is absolutely useless from the practical and rational point of view, created wholly for the purpose of materialising in a fetishistic way, with the maximum of tangible reality, ideas and fantasies having a delirious character.' He then conceived a truly unforgettable object, his irresistibly playful lobster perched atop a phone, which was also called the Aphrodisiac telephone at the time, a title in keeping with Dalí's wicked sense of humour and desire to baffle his public completely.
Dalí's Lobster telephone was not 'absolutely useless', however, but was in fact a perfectly functioning telephone. Edward James purchased four Lobster telephones from Dalí, with which he replaced all the original phones in his country retreat. One of these (a partial reconstruction) is now in the collection of the Tate Gallery, London; the second is housed at the German Telephone Museum (Deutsches Postmuseum) in Frankfurt; the third is owned by the Edward James Foundation, London. The fourth original Lobster telephone (which is in the same perfect condition as it was in James' house) is now in the National Gallery of Australia.

Ryan attended Dodgeland High School, graduating in 2001. He was always outdoors, going fishing, going on hikes with family and walks with his dog, Rocky.

He was the center of movie nights and watching scary movies with his big bowl of cereal. Ryan always had an infectious laugh and always made you smile with his unique sense of humor. Above all, Ryan loved his daughter, Leila, more than anything in the world and spending time with her doing her favorite things- feeding the deer, swimming in the summer, and crafts with her daddy.
Ryan is survived by his parents, Jerome and Dawn; two brothers, Jacob and Jordan; a daughter, Leila; his grandmother, Sonja Hildestad; and numerous extended family, including aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, William and Agnes Meddings; his grandparents, Arthur and Mary Ruth Heidner; and grandfather, Jerome Hildestad.

Why would the bands play before the game
Why would the bands play before the game?
Live Oak wanted to share half time entertainment and Parkway said no.
quote:My oldest son played for him all 4 years he was at St. John. He's a really good coach as evidenced in the Live Oak turnaround. I'd fire our current coach in a heartbeatjust to have Tut back for one game.
Tut is a damned good football coach and a guy that is going to stand up for his team in the face of bullshite, which is what sounds like happened tonight. He has won as St. John and Bishop Sullivan, not the easiest places to win football games historically.
quote:Lo band gave up their ten minutes so the LO players could warm up(legal). There is supposed to be a pre-signed paper of agreement before the game takes place, there was never any agreement met(legal). The Parkway principal had LO's coach falsely arrested. By law the coach didnt have to leave the field unless the agreement was pre arranged. Since when does a principle have the authority to have this done? The deputy and principal could face repercussions over this.
The news did report that there was 10 min offered to Live Oaks band to perform during pre-game but that didn't happen.
Sounds like a case of false imprisonment. What was the legal justification for handcuffing the coach?
Not true. Home team doesn't get to just set the rules. There has to be an agreement. If LO band gave up 10 minutes to the football team, good for the LO band. Parkway was the ones acting like some little b*****s. Definitely lack of class and sportsmanship... by Parkway's principal.

SDMBA, in partnership with the Cleveland National Forest, has recently completed a reroute on the upper portion of the Noble Canyon Trail. The reroute, which is approximately 1/3 of a mile long, eliminates two unnecessary and dangerous road crossings while reducing erosion by laying the trail out in a more sustainable location than the previously fall-line section of trail. SDMBA volunteers have put in numerous days since February building this new section of trail, which was officially completed and opened to the public June 14. Due to the current drought and lack of soil moisture the new trail's tread is currently loose, dry, and dusty is some sections – this will improve over time as the trail gets ridden in and we start to receive rains. In the coming weeks SDMBA will assist the Forest Service in closing down and rehabbing the old and deteriorated trail section that has been rerouted. Thanks for all the hard work by those that volunteered to get this project accomplished!

Grimes: Vista Tough OS to Hack
Will Vista be hacked? Sure, anything super-popular gets hacked. IE 7 is the most likely target, of course, followed by Windows Mail (the Outlook Express replacement), because these applications have the highest visibility and hacker interest.
Which new services are likely to be hacked? I'd put my money on the RSS feeds, XML, and the new P2P and collaboration applications. Aside from the more than 70 new services, Vista has a lot of new file formats for hackers to explore, as well.
I will go out on a limb and say that I believe Windows Vista, and the forthcoming Longhorn server, will be tough to hack. Outside of client-side attacks and Internet Explorer, the fully-patched Windows XP Pro SP2 is already pretty hard to hack externally. Vista will never be as secure as OpenBSD, but I believe it will be secure enough to ensure that Microsoft becomes known as a vendor of choice for a secure operating system. And that's a far cry from where it was five years ago.
If you don't believe me, talk to the many professional hackers that Microsoft has invited to test and strengthen Vista. Hundreds of internal and external hackers gave it their best whacks. A few succeeded in finding new exploits (or in re-finding old exploits). But ask any of them what they think of Microsoft's new OS, and all will tell you it's a lot harder to hack than its predecessor.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! My Balloon Mollie is dying and idk what to do
I have recently added four fish to a 10gal tank cycled by a black mollie (total of 5 fish). Two were Lyre Tail Balloon Mollies and the other are regular Balloon Mollies.
The Lyre Tails were the first to go. One died the day after I introduced the fish to the aquarium and the other died two days later. The first one started sinking to the bottom of the tank. Hours later he was found upside down (still alive) in-between two moss balls. After a few more hours he was found dead. The next day, the other Lyre Tail starts acting the same way. One of his fins seemed to be growing a white coat of something at the base; therefore he wasn't moving that fin at all. There was a bit of redness on his body just around the base of that fin, too. He was having difficulty breathing, he couldn't swim right, and randomly let himself sink to the bottom. Every now and then he'd float upside down or just lay there sideways. I didn't know if it was ich, or swimbladder, or some sort of fungal/bacterial infection, so I took him out of the tank and put him in a large fish bowl with an air pump inside. I put melafix and pimafix to try and help him. Soon after I took him to two different fish stores. They both told me that it looks to be a fungal issue and I had done all I could. I watched him as long as I could before I had to go to bed. He went from looking like he was getting better, to a point where I didn't think he was going to make it through the night. The day after that, he was still alive on the bottom of the fish bowl--BARELY. I did a water change on him and put some ich medication since the other stuff didn't seem to do anything for him. I could see little spots of white on both fins which I was most certainly sure was ich. I left for work, and when I came back he was a goner.
Currently I have a Black Mollie, a Panda Mollie, a Sailfin Mollie, two Balloon Mollies, three golden snails, and three large moss balls in a 10gallon tank with no filter (due to medications).
I have been medicating my tank since the incident with the first fish; however, I'm wondering if the same thing could be ailing yet another fish (one of the 4 bought). He is also a Balloon Mollie and he is sinking to the bottom. His health is deteriorating quickly and I don't really know how to help him. I don't even know whats wrong. The pet stores already checked my levels and said I was good (noting I had nitrites within the safe zone). My readings agree with what they told me. He is now getting to the point where he begins to lay sideways. I see him breathing quickly and heavily. I really want him to live...If you know what is wrong with him or know what I need to do from here, please help me!!!
First off breath. Next you should be doing large daily WCs. The white cottony growth is a fungal infection. The best way to treat that is with aquarium salt at 1tsp or tbsp per gallon (sorry forget right now it is REALLY late at night). That should get rid of the fungal infection in a couple of days. It will just fall right off and you can vacume it up when you do a WC. The aquarium salt will also get rid of the Ich. So my recomendation to you is to put your filter back on your tank, add aquarium salt, do daily LARGE WCs and raise the temp of the tank a few degrees. This should help tremendesly. After you do your WC remember to add back the salt. After everything looks good and back to normal continue with the treatment for 2 weeks longer.
I have had a LOT of experience with fungal infections lately and have had to deal with ich in the past. I hope that your remaining fish make it. The most important thing that you can do now is to water change (WC) WC WC until your nuckles bleed (got that from another forum, but it is a good saying).Lots of tanks. Some tanks are planted. Fish include community and bettas.
2 Dachshunds. Angel (Red) and Cookie (Chocolate Dapple).
Shiny Things and Beauty the rabbits.
RIP Princess and Max the Dachshunds, Tiger and Ping Pong the rabbits, and all the fishes from when I was a newbie.
It is Ldoerr NOT Idoerr.
Black kitten named Midnight that was found 10/29/12
+1 to Idoerr. Though I have to mention that 5 mollies in a 10G seems a bit too much on the bio-load side. They are quite messy fish so if you really want mollies, go with only 3 of them. And remember to have 1 male and 2 females if going for mixed gender, or all males (or females) if not wanting the babies.
For now, do a large water change and put back the filter. Add salt as needed on a separate bucket of tank water, dissolve the salt and add the water to the tank. Only do once every 4-6 hours, I recommend 2 teaspoons of salt every 6 hours. Ratio should be 1 tbsp of salt per 5 gallons water.Da name's Paul. Not Dave. ROFL
Learn to give and take. That's how things should always work.
Read my signature about cycling a fish tank for one. And secondly, stop overstocking. You are trying to keep too many fish in a 10 gallon tank.
Why is there no filter running? With medication in the tank, you need more filtering not less. You remove the charcoal, not shut the filter off. Do not buy more fish for this tank until you learn how to cycle. All this is just putting more fish to death.

I didn't think any of this would come out at all, given the darkness of the interior of the station. If I had known they were going to come out halfway decent, I would have done some more of the edges... use of "professional" equipment inside the station, like a tripod, requires a permit.

This news is probably more exciting to me than to you, but trust me---it's exciting nevertheless.
And I'm pretty sure you will never guess what my news is.
nope. that's not it.
nope. it's not that either!
My super duper exciting news is that somehow I don't seem to be allergic to pork anymore. I have no idea how it happened, but I started sneaking *real* bacon here and there at restaurants when I was pregnant, and then I got kind of gutsy and had *real* baby back ribs, and then all of a sudden I was eating pulled pork and ham.
My mind is totally and completely blown.
So I made carnitas. In the slow cooker.
And now so should you!
The Ingredients.
serves 6.
2 pounds pork shoulder
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 1 large orange)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 large lime)
7 cloves garlic (whole intact)
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 cup beef broth
corn tortillas
sour cream, salsa, sliced avocado (optional)
The Directions.
Use a 6 quart slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the salt and cumin. Rub mixture all over the pork, then plop into the slow cooker. Add whole garlic cloves. Squeeze on the citrus, and pour the beef broth evenly over the top.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork shreds quite easily with a fork. If your meat is still fully intact after 8 hours, remove and cut into chunks, then return to the crock and flip to high for about an hour or two.
Shred meat fully and serve on warmed corn tortillas with desired toppings.
The Verdict.
This is so totally good. I adored the citrusy flavor of the meat, and the slight smokiness from the cumin. If you don't eat pork, try using an inexpensive chuck roast instead of the pork shoulder.
Adam and the girls all liked their dinner, and I'm so beyond thrilled that due to some bizarre fluke of nature I can eat pork again.

Ok guys. Have you been initiated into the world of Tim Ferriss? This specimen of masculine dominance has brought to the world two very important tomes. Not only did he teach the world to use a four hour work week (Pro tip: don't read your emails til the end of the day. Did that save you 36 hours? Sweet. We're done here.) And now he's trying to transform your body in just four hours. But that's not all!
His new book is humbly titled "The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman."
And if the world proves to be as intrigued by Tim Ferriss as The New York Times was today, chances are we will soon be witness to a movie of his life. Here in, we describe how to go about creating this movie. Dear Hollywood producers: You're welcome. More

Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
Voice your opinion on RAIL & Master Plan at National Night Out tonight
Tonight is the National Night Out at Brookfield's Safety Building and Civic Plaza, 5:30 - 8:30 pm. Not only are there some fun family activities offered, but there is also an opportunity to voice your opinion on Brookfield's future initiatives.
You can also fill out a comment form at the Brookfield Library. Deadline for submissions is August 10th. The 2035 Comprehensive Plan, will be adopted by the Common Council at year's end.
Some of the items on the 2035 Vision Implementation Comment Form (feedback form) are rather benign. Others are hot button issues. Here are some of mine in the order they appear on side 2. My position is in red.:
- Establish a new Targeted Investment Area along the 124th Street corridor from Burleigh Road to North Avenue. (I am against if it involves a tax district and usurps property owners rights.)
- Take a supportive approach to historic preservation including educational and persuasive (not coercive) efforts, and at all times supporting the rights of property owners. (I am for this. Saving the Siepmann home is an example of a supportive role.)
- Support the completion of an Environmental Impact Study (EIS), through an open, public process, to study the feasibility, locational options, impacts, and design options of a future interchange from Interstate 94 between the two that now exist. (I am against a Calhoun Rd. exit.)
- Support future high speed intercity rail service connecting Minneapolis - Madison - Milwaukee - Chicago and beyond, provided that a station in Brookfield is maintained and funded in state and federal plans. (Note: This is not the same as commuter or light rail.) (I am AGAINST rail in any form because it requires taxpayer subsidies and is NOT practical for most travelers.)
You may not wish to partake of the Night Out festivities, but do fill out the survey and contact yourAldermen
with your opinions.

Hmm, over a year since my last entry -- guess that says something. It is a little interesting to look back and see where I was a year ago.
I haven't become a libpng guru, but I did end up learning a whole bunch about how the library has changed over the time, and how to live with that.
When I got in touch with the author of WMRack about some fixes for bugs reported by Debian users, he said that he was no longer maintaining it. So I volunteered to take over and set up a Source Forge page, which I have done. I've made a minor-bug-fix release, and I'm currently working on re-working the main loop a bit (in a mis-labeled CVS branch). My first serious goal is to make it work better on non-Linux systems (e.g. the BSDs). I'd also like to make it a little more modular, and maybe create some plug-ins.
I got ORBit v2 packaged up for Debian sid, and am more convinced than ever that I dislike libglib. On the other hand, I'd rather use an ugly wrapper library to gain portability than use one to lose it, as so many MS programmers do.

Hango, around here the place that I still see Yoda at is CVS pharmacy and ocassionally at Toys'r us. Mainly the one in Springfield which hasn't put out a new figure since the Anakin Hangar wave.
Where is Chewie???????
Still nothing new here. Still not one Dooku on the pegs, and only one Yoda since 4/23 (it's mine...).
Did find Palpy and Djas early - but none since.
The latest peg warmer here is the Bespin wave. YIKES!
Same here, I'm waiting to get a 2nd Nexu (to open), an Acklay then the Reek if it's hopefully on sale by then.Originally posted by hango fett

Work at Lake Darling State Park to Commence Next Month
Posted By Community On @ 5:22 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
An update on the Lake Darling project was given last week. Department of Natural Resources' Fisheries Biologist, Chad Dolan, says their project engineer gave those who attended the meeting an idea of when work will commence and when it could be done. Once work resumes on April 15th, it'll take 2 to 3 months to dredge the lake and redo the shoreline. He adds that the project could be delayed by rain.
When the project is completed Lake Darling State Park will feature new boat ramps, concrete roads, a fishing trail around the lake, and a completely rehabbed campground.

In QUEST, Questions Are the Answer to Better Teaching
Posted August 29, 2013; 12:00 p.m.
Video not loading?
- Load video a different player.
- Update your Flash Player.
Each summer, select K-12 science teachers from New Jersey become the students as part of the QUEST (Questioning Underlies Effective Science Teaching) program run by Princeton University's Program in Teacher Preparation. The teachers spend a week with university-level researchers in the lab experimenting, or in the field observing and collecting evidence for self-designed research projects. And the point is to always ask questions. This summer QUEST included a program based at the state-owned Lighthouse Center for Natural Resource Education in Waretown, N.J., where teachers carried out research related to diamondback-terrapin conservation with a particular focus on the effects of Hurricane Sandy. Read more.
Video Closed Captions
JULES WINTERS: The QUEST Program
sponsored by Drexel
University and Princeton is to
encourage New Jersey teachers
to start thinking a little bit
more out of the box within
their science classroom.
Specifically, they are looking
at the opportunity to answer
questions in a field
So they're learning hands-on
experiences regarding science.
We have teachers out
here for four days.
And from beginning to end they
will be developing their own
research projects,
the diamondback terrapin.
By doing so, they can come back
into their classroom and
use the scientific method in
teaching their students about
science, whether it's about a
diamondback terrapin or DNA
Dan Rubenstein of Princeton
University, he was already in
touch with the teacher prep
program within Princeton to
bring New Jersey teachers out
into the field to build an
inquiry-based professional
development program.
This year we're looking at the
impacts of the superstorm
Sandy, and seeing if the nesting
beaches changed in its
dynamics between this year and
last, and how that might be
affecting the terrapin.
PETE PASSE: I thought this would
be a great opportunity
for me to learn how scientists
really do research.
We are doing a unit
at [? Hillsboro ?]
Middle School in eighth grade on
environment, and I thought
this might be an opportunity
for me to put together some
kind of a research project
that we might do
with our own students.
MICHELLE HILL: This QUEST
Terrapin Research Program is
helping me immensely.
Because even I'm sitting here
struggling going, well, I
asked this question, but I have
no idea what I'm going to
use this data, or how I'm going
to take this data and
answer my question.
And it's amazing for me to be
able to sit here and do this
and then have my students try
and do this when I go back to
my classroom.
Just to have them visualize
and hands-on and thinking
about how to ask a good
question, or what is a good
question, or how can I answer
my question with my data.
And that's the basis
of science for the
rest of their lives.
PETE PASSE: I do with my
students much the same as they
did to us here.
When a student asks why is this
happening, I answer the
question with a question-- why
do you think it's happening?
And it's a great
way to learn--
You can read things in a book.
You probably will remember it
better if you've done it and
had the experience first-hand.

Watch Michihiro Omigawa "Train UFC"
- Written by Dave Walsh
Nothing makes me laugh more than the term "train UFC." It has permeated into our popular culture and become a term of endearment for most fans. Most of us have known a guy who has gone to a gym and then boasts to his friends that he "trains UFC." Of course, that isn't the case with one of the top Featherweights in the world. Michihiro Omigawa. Omigawa is a case study in how a fighter dropping weight can go from mediocre to a world beater.
Omigawa's record since dropping to Featherweight is 8-2-1, with his first loss being the first time he cut against a now legendary fighter in the US, "The Korean Zombie" Jung Chan-Sung. The second loss was a close decision loss to Masanori Kanehara in the Sengoku Featherweight Grand Prix Finals. Omigawa's run in the Featherweight Grand Prix is now that of legend; a fighter who was down and out, who saw himself as a failure and goes into a tournament with a losing record as fodder for bigger stars emerges as the biggest star in the promotion. To this day, there has not been a fighter in Japan during this era who has went from nobody to big star like Omigawa.
I know certain Japanese MMA pundits will disagree with me, but in today's landscape in Japan everything is leftovers. Omigawa was becoming the first home-grown star since the days of PRIDE. Omigawa just went on a five-fight tear through SRC, ASTRA and DREAM where he demanded his title shot over and over again, when it didn't happen and UFC was set to begin promoting Featherweight bouts, it made perfect sense for Omigawa to accept an offer from UFC and head to the West yet again. Japan's loss is America's gain, as we get one of the most exciting, talented and emotionally charged Featherweights in the world fighting in the UFC yet again. Fighters like Omigawa would make me watch a UFC event.
Here is a video by Dan Herbertson of MMAFighting.com of Omigawa training for his return fight to UFC against Chad Mendes.

Routine sputum culture is a test of secretions from the lungs and bronchi (tubes that carry air to the lung) to look for organisms that cause infection.
Sputum culture
A health care provider will often collect sputum samples in the morning. The doctor or nurse may have you rinse your mouth first. The goal is to bring sputum up from deeper in your airways and your throat.
You will be asked to take three deep breaths, then force up some sputum amount by coughing deeply. You will spit any sputum that comes up into a sterile cup. The sputum is then taken to the laboratory. There, it is placed in a special substance (medium) under conditions that allow the bacteria or fungi to grow.
Drinking a lot of water and other fluids the night before the test may help to get the sample.
You will need to cough. Sometimes the health care provider will tap on your chest to loosen deep sputum. There may be a steam-like mist to inhale to help you cough up the sample.
The culture is done on the sputum to help identify the bacteria, or other type of germs, that are causing an infection in the lungs or airways (bronchi). The doctor may collect a sputum sample the office or in the hospital.
The culture can prevent the need for more invasive procedures such as bronchoscopy.
In a normal sputum sample there will be no disease-causing organisms present. Often, bacteria that normally live in the mouth will grow in a sputum culture. This does not mean that you have a lung or airway infection.
If the sputum sample is abnormal, the results are called "positive." Identifying the bacteria, fungus, or virus may help diagnose the cause of:
There are no risks with this method of obtaining a sample, although severe coughing might cause some chest discomfort.
