Like any art medium, poetry is a manifestation of the culture that engenders it, and traditional forms can provide an especial understanding of a society's beliefs.
For instance, the English heroic couplet, with its solid end rhymes, reflects the British values of propriety and order.
The three-lined Italian terza rima stanza (think Dante's Divine Comedy) highlights the importance of the number three, a celebration of the Holy Trinity.
And haiku, the most economic of forms, conveys a Japanese Buddhist understanding of nature as eternal, with humans as a component but not the star.
Then these forms come to America, where their hard rules are liquefied in our melting pot of freedom before they are deep-fried and super-sized, served on a Styrofoam plate of cultural appropriation.
We here at the Alibi are nothing if not champions of bastard art forms, and really, bastards in general. So, we present to you the winners of the 20th annual Haiku Contest. Thousands of American-style haiku from hundreds of entrants made their way to our special underground poetry lair where each poem was lovingly touched and considered, regardless of its parentage. During this process, a few things became clear:
One: It is almost impossible to write a good erotic haiku but entirely possible to write really very icky ones.
Two: A disturbing number of high school students who were forced to enter the contest don't know who Mitt Romney is. Because information is so hard to access these days. C'mon, kids! I wore a Mondale button to the third grade. Get it together.
Three: More haiku should be written about early '90s rap because it cannot NOT be good.
A heartfelt thank you to all who took the time to share your work. Each winner will receive a $20 certificate to ABQ Brew Pub, a $10 certificate to Purple Pink Rhino and a $10 certificate to El Norteño Restaurant. To claim your prize, please go to the Alibi offices at 413 Central NW and do a dance.

I actually agree with you on that. Well, not entirely. I don't think any of my videos should have won comedy. There were better videos (lie Ha Ha, White People or Service Entrance In Rear). It is a nice feeling to be appreciated though.

By Tiernan Ray
Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) ended the session down 13 cents, or 0.4%, at $36.35, after the company confirmed months of speculation this morning in naming its cloud computing chief, Satya Nadella, as its new CEO, replacing Steve Ballmer, and said chairman Bill Gates will give up his spot at the head of the board of directors in order to become more active in the company on a day to day basis. Lead independent director John Thompson was appointed the new chair.
My colleague Teresa Rivas penned a positive Barron's Take article on Microsoft this afternoon.
The company said in a federal filing this afternoon it is starting off Nadella with $1.2 million in annual salary, and an annual bonus worth as much as 300% of that, plus $13.2 million in stock options for the fiscal year that ends June of 2015.
Following the announcement, Nadella held a video webcast with customers and partners at the company's headquarters in Redmond this afternoon. Nadella spoke of being "very lucky" to have come to Microsoft at age 24, 22 years ago. He also spoke of buying more books than he can read, and being hooked on online learning courses.
"It's not just the learning for learning's sake," said Nadella.
"What I think we all in business in particular thrive on is applied learning, to be able to take that, create product, create programs, approaches to how we work with customers and partners, and excelling in them."
"And being able to sort of both do that, and more importantly, learn from others who are doing it, is what defines me the most."
Nadella said that what will define Microsoft forward is a "Mobile-first, cloud-first world."
"How do we thrive in that world? What new innovation can we bring? For sure, the co-evolution of hardware and software is going to define a lot of what's going to happen."
But Nadella insisted Microsoft will build upon its heritage:
All of this is going to be mediated by software –software is the most malleable thing that's going to define the experiences," said Nadella. "the insights, the ambient intelligence that's going to power these device experiences. So to me the heritage this company has is still very relevant. We have to renew it, we have to do new things, but at the same time, we should be very, very confident in our capability around software when it comes to these new experiences.
Ed Maguire with CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares, and a $41 price target, calling Nadella "a highly qualified and conservative choice," and though he "is not likely to rock the boat in a meaningful way," Nadella's "pragmatic" streak means there might be "a more open stance toward changes, parcticularly in areas investors regard as key, such as uses of cash and potential divestitures."
Unknowns, writes Maguire, are mobile and devices:
Unknowns include management style, stance toward the consumer aspects of the business, willingness to diverge from predecessors' strategy, and the support of the board should Nadella seek major changes (such as divestitures). Negatives for investors relate to insider status as a potential obstacle to major cultural change. The bigger questions remain mobility and windows hardware Nadella's core achievements lie in helping build a $40bn corporate business, navigating transition from an on-premise business to a software plus services hybrid cloud model. His efforts have been a core reason we've supported the stock. What's not clear will be the stance toward the consumer PC (and soon phone) hardware business, which is dilutive to the software model.
Of Thomson, he writes, "We regard Thomson highly and think this outsider status is positive – but given the mixed track record of change at Symantec after the Veritas merger in 2005, we think investors will take a wait-and-see approach."
RBC Capital Markets's Matthew Hedberg reiterates a Hold rating on the shares, calling Nadella "a safe choice." His appointment "could mean a bigger emphasis on cloud and enterprise than Microsoft has had in the past."
There'll be no big changes, and Bill Gates being active is a bonus, he thinks:
We are not anticipating any significant changes in strategy or a diversion from the strategy Microsoft has put into motion – Microsoft One. As such, we would not anticipate any divestitures such as Bing, Xbox, etc. The bigger positive for investor sentiment will likely be from Mr.Gates moving to his new role as Technical Advisor from Chairman, allowing for him to devote more time to supporting Mr. Nadella in product and technology decisions.
Citigroup's Walter Pritchard reiterated a Neutral rating on the shares, writing that Microsoft had made the "easy choice" in going with Nadella.
He has upbeat things to say about Nadella, even if the man has not much Windows experience:
Nadella has had a tour of duty through Microsoft's major businesses, with the notable exception of having spent little or no time in Windows client. Nadella has proven himself to be a product /service visionary and have a thorough understanding of the markets in which his businesses have operated in. In the last five years, under his leadership, the company has taken its enterprise cloud services (Azure) business from incubation stage to being the early leader in this market.
But Pritchard is worried that in staying the course, Microsoft will fail to make Windows relevant again:
As we've highlighted in the past and we believe is now a consensus worry, naming Nadella as CEO (an insider), increases the chance that the "new strategy" is the same as the "old strategy". A year ago, the stock traded under $30 and investors were frustrated with the old strategy, unveiled by Steve Ballmer in mid-2012 and focused around "devices and services." With Gates and Ballmer still on the board, investors may have the perception, until convinced otherwise, that nothing will change. As we laid out in January, we believe Microsoft must more clearly choose between two strategies, which we label "doubling down on Windows" or "life beyond Windows". The "devices and services" strategy essentially straddled the two and in our view increases the risk that the company won't achieve their goal in Windows (to increase relevance as a consumer operating platform across all devices) or be able to invest appropriately in the emerging enterprise cloud services market (as it is capital intensive and carries trade-offs with Windows). We expect Nadella will communicate further his views on company strategy over the next 6 months and we look to better understand how he may change or evolve the strategy in play now. With Nadella news widely anticipated as news had surfaced in mainstream press last week, we don't expect a meaningful stock reaction today.

The New Zealand International Film Festival opens for the 44th time in Auckland today, kicking off two weeks of the sort of cinema that reminds there's much more to life on the big screen than mega-men in masks.
Plenty of regular festivalgoers will already have pored through the festival programme and booked their tickets.
But for them - and event newbies too - we've assembled an extensive list of facts to help everyone get into the mood for the fortnight-long movie marathon.
Here are the numbers:
Number of New Zealand comedies: One - that's How to Meet Girls from a Distance, the winner of the Make My Movie contest run by nzherald.co.nz which gets its world premiere at the Wellington festival on July 29 before screening in Auckland on the final night of the festival.
Number of Australian movies actually set in Australia: One from four.
That one, The Sapphires heads from the Outback to Vietnam in its tale of a girl group playing for the troops during the war. The other three either head to Cambodia (Wish You Were Here) or Europe (Lore and Dead Europe).
Number of minutes in the longest film: The 180 minutes of It's the Earth not the Moon from Portugal. Though it's set on an Azores Island only 4km long. So chances are we get to meet everybody who lives there.
Number of bare bits, highest: Too many to count in Crazy Horse, the documentary about the perennial Parisian cabaret is the festival's most naked film. Funnily enough, the number of views of its trailer on the festival's youtube channel is also way ahead of anything else on offer.
Number of films featuring a Go Girl: One. Anna Hutchison features in the delayed Josh Whedon-produced horror The Cabin in the Woods which is playing as part of the Incredibly Strange programme.
Number of films featuring the actor formerly known as the West twins: One. Antony Starr features in the aforementioned Aussie-gone-Cambodia mystery, Wish You Were Here.
Number of films featuring an Almighty Johnson: One. Emmett Skilton, who played the Norse god Axl, is appearing in local low-budget art-feature We Feel Fine which also features a cameo from Florian Habicht, maker of last year's festival opener Love Story.
Number of films operating below zero degrees: Five, at least. The bestefar of them all is 1926 Norwegian airship doco The Flight of the Airship Norge Over the Arctic Ocean. There's eco-docos Chasing Ice (time lapse photography of glacial melting) and The Last Ocean (by New Zealand nature cameraman Peter Young about a need to ban fishing in the Ross Sea) and let's not forget snowy Swiss shepherding study Winter Nomads.
But warmly (ho ho) recommended of this frosty bunch is Wellington director Costa Botes' The Last Dogs of Winter which heads to frozen Manitoba to see a man about a dog ... or actually a whole pack of them.
Number of 3D films in the festival: Four but don't worry they are all 10 minutes or less in length and part of the animation showcase for Poland's Platige Image Film Studio.
Number of films featuring Marilyn Monroe: Two - that's a new print of the 1953 comedy classic Gentlemen Prefer Blondes as well as Bert Stern, Original Madman, a doco about the famed 20th century fasthion photographer who famously shot Monroe in The Last Sitting a few days before her death and has snapped quite a few famous celebrities since.
Number of movies featuring Kylie Minogue, Bruce Willis, or Zac Efron in a festival film, probably for the first time: One. Minogue is in mad French closing night flick Holy Motors, Willis in Moonrise Kingdom, and Zac Efron is in a supporting role in Liberal Arts.
Number of films featuring Frances McDormand, Isabelle Huppert, Lea Seydoux or Gael Garcia Bernal, not for the first time: Two each. McDormand is in Moonrise Kingdom and This Must be the Place; Seydoux in Farewell My Queen and Sister; Huppert in In Another Country and Amour; Bernal in No and The Loneliest Planet.

Group of UW-L students push for tobacco-free campus
LA CROSSE, Wis. - A group of University of Wisconsin-La Crosse students are trying to make their campus tobacco-free.
Right now, students and staff members have to be 25-feet away from any building if they want to smoke on campus.
If this initiative is approved, the 15 percent of students and staff members who smoke will have to clear off campus completely if they want to light up.
UW-L Senior Caitlyn Bednarek is graduating at the end of the year, but there's a legacy she hopes to leave behind.
"I think that people deserve the right to breathe healthy, clean air," said Bednarek.19097354
That's why she's spearheading the university's "Nobacco" initiative, which would ban tobacco use anywhere on campus.
"It should be a safe environment for everybody, but right now, with the policy being kind of gray area, with smoking just being 25-feet from the building, there are still people that are having health issues," said Bednarek.
Freshman Sam Rhubecky sees it differently.
He wrote the chancellor an email on Tuesday about why he sees the change as an infringement on his rights.
"We're guaranteed the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And though smoking is detrimental to health, as everyone knows, I think that is still an infringement of that right. If that's what makes you happy, if that's what calms you down, if that's your reason, then how can they take that away?" said Rhubecky.
The impact of a tobacco ban could be felt off-campus too.
"A lot of people are really worried that by restricting smoking on campus, or the use of other tobacco products, that people are just going to wander across the street and start smoking and using their tobacco products in the neighborhood," said Bednarek.
That's why organizers plan to offer a hotline neighbors could call if they're having problems with cigarette butts on their lawns.
The Student Association will vote on Wednesday whether to poll students on their opinions in an April ballot.
That would give the campus governance groups some insight into student sentiment before they decide whether to give the change a thumbs-up.
"All four governance groups have to approve it. If one group says no, then it's done and it's not a new policy -- so, [it's] kind of a lot of pressure," said UW-L Wellness Coordinator Jason Bertrand, who's helping the students get the initiative rolling.
UW-Stout is already a tobacco-free campus. There are six other universities in the UW system headed in that direction.
In La Crosse, Western Technical College is tobacco-free and Viterbo University will be as well in summer 2014.
Students leading the campaign held the first of four open forums Tuesday night, where members of the UW-L and La Crosse communities could weigh in. Three more are scheduled:
Tuesday, March 26 at 10 a.m. in 339 Cartwright Center
Friday, March 29 at 1 p.m. in 1400 Centennial Hall
Wednesday, April 3 at 7 p.m. in 1309 Centennial Hall
Anyone with comments or questions can also email the organizers at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Took the car to Exxcutive Motors in Camberwell and they took my steering wheel off and made the car worse than it was before and when i asked them to fix it back they couldn't now i have to spend £2000 to reset my ecu and get everything sorted out again I WOULD NOT USE THEM AGAIN
Yes prompt service and reasonably priced.
Terrible service. Scammers never did the work. They just polished my old parts and pit them back on.
Executive Motor Service was quick, reliable and cheap and very friendly team. Took my car in on the Thursday afternoon and the job was done by 12 pm Saturday afternoon. Looks brand new and no extra cost definitely recommend these guys Darren C
I was really impressed with the service I received. Had been meaning to repair bodywork on my outlander but never had time to get it done during term time as the car was needed for school run. Carl and his team did an excellent job. Looks like new. Only came over budget because I asked him to do more than what I quoted for originally. Professional and trustworthy. Would definitely recommend.
Great garage 5 star's very friendly done a great job on my car for a good price.
Excellent service - Highly recommend!!!!
Moses did a fantastic job on the car. Great level of service, and thoroughly nice guy. Would definitely use again and recommend to all.
Good work, great service in good price. Happy to discover this quality local garage.
Incredible work, quick and great job too. Made me feel very comfortable and will be taking it back to fix some small scratches in the future.
A bit chaotic when I arrived and the car wasn't ready until an hour after the agreed collection time. I also asked them to look into a rubbing sound coming from the car which they said they had fixed but hadn't.
Done my car really good work would recommend
Great job, exactly as described. Would happily use Bodyteq again.
couldn`t find the problem
the quote was £75 incl VAT but that was not the case
Brilliant ! EGR valve was cleaned, not the cheapest labour rate, but definitely worth it, quick and efficient, no problem on the car anymore. Will use again ! I also really appreciate the fact that the mechanic keep you informed through whatsapp with pictures of the process.
Awesome garage with excellent value for money. Ade is extremely helpful!
honest, good price, neatly complete job
Good communication, quick turnaround and very reasonably priced. Will return for any other fixes needed.
Fixed my front driver side headlight and passenger side bulb. I was very impressed with the speed and excellent customer service provided. I would recommend and I would use again.
Highly recommended!!! Very honest and patient guys.
We hadn't agreed on an exact tiime for my MOT because I had a prior appointment but when I did turn up they were fast and efficient. I couldn't have asked for more to be honest.

When i am sending Serial.println(XXXXXX) to my PC the "Code" is send many times, I just want the arduino to send it once.
so is it possible that you could "challenge" me with some hints, of what to write in the sketch?
// Global variablesint currState1;int prevState1;int currState2;int prevState2;
void loop(){ currState1 = digitalRead(kon1); if(currState1 != prevState1) { // A transition occurred - from pressed to released or from released to pressed if(currState1 == HIGH) { // The transition was to whatever state HIGH represents // Could be pressed or released, depending on how the // switch is wired // Do whatever needs to be done once when the switch is HIGH } } prevState1 = currState1;}
pinMode(kon1, INPUT); // Make pin INPUTdigitalWrite(kon1, HIGH); // Turn on pullup resistor
Where can I find info about "Hardware features" like the internal resistor, i guess it is not the only hardware feature on the board?

Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a rare, serious disorder of your skin and mucous membranes. It's usually a reaction to a medication or an infection. Often, Stevens-Johnson syndrome begins with flu-like symptoms, followed by a painful red or purplish rash that spreads and blisters. Then the top layer of the affected skin dies and sheds.
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a medical emergency that usually requires hospitalization. Treatment focuses on eliminating the underlying cause, controlling symptoms and minimizing complications.
Recovery after Stevens-Johnson syndrome can take weeks to months, depending on the severity of your condition. If it was caused by a medication, you'll need to permanently avoid that drug and others closely related to it.
Stevens-Johnson syndrome symptoms include:
If you have Stevens-Johnson syndrome, several days before the rash develops you may experience:
Stevens-Johnson syndrome requires immediate medical attention. Seek emergency medical care if you experience any of the following signs or symptoms:
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a rare and unpredictable reaction. Your doctor may not be able to identify its exact cause, but usually the condition is triggered by a medication or an infection.
Drugs that can cause Stevens-Johnson syndrome include:
Infections that can cause Stevens-Johnson syndrome include:
Factors that increase your risk of developing Stevens-Johnson syndrome include:
Stevens-Johnson syndrome complications include:
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is an emergency medical condition. If you have signs and symptoms, call 911 or emergency medical help, or go to an emergency room immediately.
If you have time before you go:
Questions your doctor may ask include:
While you're in the hospital, you'll likely have questions for your doctor. It might help to keep a list of questions you have, such as:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose Stevens-Johnson syndrome include:
Stevens-Johnson syndrome requires hospitalization, often in an intensive care unit or burn unit.
The first and most important step in treating Stevens-Johnson syndrome is to discontinue any medications that may be causing it. Because it's difficult to determine exactly which drug may be causing the problem, your doctor may recommend that you stop taking all nonessential medications.
Supportive care you're likely to receive while hospitalized includes:
Medications commonly used in the treatment of Stevens-Johnson syndrome include:
If the underlying cause of Stevens-Johnson syndrome can be eliminated and the skin reaction stopped, new skin may begin to grow over the affected area within several days. In severe cases, full recovery may take several months.
If you have had Stevens-Johnson syndrome, be sure to:
If you've had this condition, avoid the medication that triggered it. If you've had Stevens-Johnson syndrome and your doctor told you it was caused by a medication, avoid that drug and others like it. This is key to preventing a recurrence, which is usually more severe than the first episode and can be fatal.
Your family members also might want to avoid this drug because some forms of this condition have a genetic risk factor.

I would like to add that the lineage you are dealing with has a lot to do with this. I started out w/ bigger labs-- and when LBP food first came out, I kept those those pups on it longer (~18 mos if I remember right). BUT, I wasn't doing as much w/ my dogs then either (to need more calories).
Now I've got "little" labs.... famales topping out at 60# and males averaging 75 (assuming the owners don't let them get fat... that's another story). So for my small, slow, even growing labs that are pretty well strung together by 1 yr, that seems to be a fine time to switch. If I had a Dane, Mastiff or St Bernard (or oversized Lab even), 2 yrs may well be the ticket as a large dog isn't well tied together yet until about that age. Interestingly enough there was a question on another lab forum recently polling weights--- I can't believe the number of 100+ lb labs out there.

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
I'm one of those fortunate women who actually likes her mother-in-law. And I'm lucky the feeling is mutual.
I'm also lucky that she is an excellent cook.
My own mother died in 2000, and I had learned the basics of Southern cooking from her. But while Roye can cook a pan of dressing or a pot of peas with the best of them, she's more inclined to make dishes that are a little more sophisticated, but not pretentious.
When my father-in-law, Dave Langford, was in the Air National Guard, she went to visit him in France and promptly fell in love with French cooking.
So she taught herself classic techniques from Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." "I didn't try to cook everything in there and there are some things I would never want to try that are in that cookbook," said Roye, who is the office manager at Regional Rehab.
Dave's work as a newspaper reporter and later as a writer and editor for United Press International and The Associated Press would take the family to Tupelo, Birmingham, Huntsville, Miami, two cities in Connecticut, and finally to Manhattan. She moved to Tupelo in 1998.
"We moved around a lot with Dave's job," said Roye, 77. "I wouldn't trade those years for anything."
When the family lived in Miami, she got interested in Cuban cooking.
"There was a wonderful restaurant where I got my first bowl of black bean soup," she said. "So I bought a cookbook. I also learned to make paella (a saffron rice dish with shellfish, fish, meat and vegetables). I used to be fearless. There was a time when I'd try to cook anything."
These days, Roye doesn't cook as much as she used to, but she does like to have guests over once or twice a month to eat at her table. And she almost never cooks the same thing twice.
"I like to have something different when I have people over," she said. "I like to try something new."
Roye recalled that when she and Dave were living in Connecticut and working in Manhattan, they would attend the Mississippi Picnic every summer in Central Park.
"One year, I came in second in the fried chicken contest," she said. "The prize was a cookbook called 'Cooking in the Mississippi Sound.' There was a recipe in it for Duck a l'Orange. It started with, 'Take one jar of Tang' and that was as far as I got. That just blew me away. I never picked that cookbook up again."
Do you know a good cook? Send your nominations to Ginna Parsons, Cook of the Week, P.O. Box 909, Tupelo, MS 38802. Or you can fax them to (662) 842-2233 or email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

So, back to poking at the NOCTool codebase again. This time, the intent is to get some SNMP support into it, to more easily be able to monitor routers and switches. There's also some opportunity to monitor server hosts via SNMP, but at the moment unix-based hosts can be adequately monitored via SSH.
First, I created a class for "things monitored by SNMP" (with curucial details like community strings and SNMP version in it, plus slots for anything we're monitoring via SNMP; this is currently just interfaces). Then, an SNMP configuration stanza for the config reader. Inside the SNMP stanza, configuration stanzas for anything monitored by SNMP (again, just interfaces at the moment).
The intent is to let an empty interface spec is to mean "auto-discover all interfaces, then monitor them" and for anyone wanting a subset, simply naming the interfaces.
The actual monitoring starts with an snmp-walk of the ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr sub-tree, mapping names to current SNMP indexes, then passing the resulting hash table down to each "get stuff for this specific interface" function (taking the current SNMP session, mapping table and interface object as arguments).
So far, I am happy with what I have, but it's yet to be used in anger.

Finally the deer gun seasons are done, the wind died down and temp warmed to near 20 yesterday. Making for a beautiful day to start in on the turkeys again.
Willowridge Tongue Teaser is something to behold in the field-
Vic flushed 2 gobs that immediately started flying away with Vic in hot pursuit. The Tongue Teaser turned this in flight gobbler and he landed 20 yards from me while I was standing in an open snow covered field! This is my second in flight turkey call in.
A couple of weeks ago Vic flushed a group of 3 turkeys that were hiding in and under the snow. I sounded off with kee kee yelping, as if saying hey wait for me. The in flight hen turned peeling away from the other turkeys and landed near the flush sight! She was my first ever in flight call back turkey.
Has anyone else ever called a flying turkey in?

Thanks for the recommendations! I really like the Yamaha's and am looking to buy them, but because I live in Canada it is extremely difficult. I haven't been able to find anybody who is selling new ones in Canada, including Yamaha! If anyone has any suggestions on where to look I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
i recommend the vsonic gr07
check out headphone bar- shipping is 1 cent, with a reasonable price, and shipping across the country took me around 4 days

The way Stringer talked they didn't play well in the scrimmage. Sure hope they can improve quickly. It also sounds like Malik Morgan will start with the four from last year and Shavon Coleman will be used as a sixth man off the bench at either 3 or 4. So it looks like a three guard two big men lineup will be used. Carmouchie is sick or injured so Corban Collins looks like the first guard in off of the bench.
On starters for Monday's exhibition...
"We'll probably have a great chance of starting (Anthony) Hickey at the one, and Johnny (O'Bryant III) at the five. (Eddie) Ludwig would definitely be at the four spot for us right now. Andre Stringer has been really good at the two for us. It will depend on how healthy we are come Monday if anything will change by then."
Anything new on Keith Frazier? Are we in it for him?

text: blog postsfirst impressionJun 23, 2010 7:49 pmWhile still living and working in the Chicago area, I was acceptedas a charter student at SSU. My higher education had begun right afterhigh school graduation in 1961. I attended the University of Illinois -Chicago which was located at Navy Pier. After one year there, I enteredthe U.S Army and served for almost five years including a tour of dutyin Vietnam. After my return, I worked and attended school on a parttime basis going to the Chicago Community College and a private college.My desire was to save enough money to attend the university full timeand finish my degrees. Since this new university was just beginning, myexpectations were not exceptionally high for the looks of the campuswhen I first visited it in the spring of 1970. Unfortunately, it fellwell below my hopes. My car got stuck in the mud in the corn fieldwhile I viewed what appeared at a distance to be quonset huts beingconstructed - flashbacks to jungle living occurred. It was my goodfortune that I endured because not only did I receive a first classeducation but I also came to understand that the setting does not haveto have splendid grandeur for the learning process to succeed. Manyinsights were gained in the classrooms, in nearby pizza parlors, and, onoccasions, during after class meetings in other adult establishments in my years at SSU.Dan Schramstats521 Views 0 Comments additional actions Add Comment

We hear a lot about the importance of vitamin A, vitamin C, and those good-for-you B vitamins, but it's not so often we hear about another vitamin that scientists believe may also play a crucial role in maintaining superior health throughout life. These days, however, new research into the remarkable health benefits of vitamin D is beginning to change all of that.
Vitamin D directly affects more than 200 genes in the body, and studies show that it plays a significant role in stimulating a healthy immune response. In fact, a new study conducted by a team of British and Canadian scientists links too little vitamin D in the diet with an increased risk of certain autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease and type 1 diabetes, as well as a higher risk of certain cancers.
Researchers say it has to do with the way vitamin D binds with specific chromosomes, but the problem comes from a widespread lack of vitamin D in the diet. About one billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient, which may increase their susceptibility to certain diseases. And as people spend less time outdoors (the body produces vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight), the problem is getting worse.
Because too little vitamin D can lead to a breakdown in overall health, many experts are now recommending steps to remedy the problem. Certain foods such as eggs and fatty fish contain vitamin D, and many fish oil supplements will include vitamin D to help make up for what's lacking in the diet. Pregnant women and young children especially may benefit from a daily vitamin D supplement for preventative health, and spending at least 10 minutes in the sun each day is also recommended.

A spicy marinade gives this veggie-packed stir-fry the flavors of the Southwest.
Marinating--even for as little as 15 minutes--adds flavor and makes for juicier chicken. The acid in the marinade helps break down chicken's tough muscle fibers.
Make sure not to overcrowd your skillet; adding too many stir-fry ingredients at once brings down the temperature. If you have too many ingredients for your pan, cook ingredients in batches.

What's Happening With The US Fruit And Vegetable Supply?
January 3rd, 2012 | by Steve Savage
Most public health and nutrition experts would say that it would be better if Americans ate even more fruit and vegetables than they do because of their value in addressing obesity, cancer and other health concerns. How does that goal reconcile with these recent supply statistics?

By Colorado Springs Gazette
When skies are quiet over the Air Force Academy graduation in May, think about the opulent lifestyles of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden – the men who imposed a careless austerity program on the rest of us.
Air Force Thunderbirds are an annual rite of passage from spring into the spectacular days of summer in the Pikes Peak region. They practice over Colorado Springs and surrounding communities for days, leading up to the traditional flyover and air show after the academy's spectacular graduation ceremony. Families and neighborhoods organize parties in yards and parks as booming jets pass overhead, performing death-defying maneuvers.
Not this year, thanks to Obama's sequestration fiasco.
When politicians and bureaucrats face new fiscal limitations, they want the public to feel it.
By shutting down air shows, government officials save no substantial expense relative to $85 billion that must be cut by order of the sequestration law. It is a cutback that will get the public's immediate attention and, they hope, make taxpayers realize how much they love government spending.
While we're at it, we will keep a watchful eye on the White House – even though we cannot visit. Americans should expect their president, the inventor of sequestration, to embark upon his own symbolic frugality. They should urge cancellation of his family's summer vacation to Martha's Vineyard, which would save considerably more than grounding a Thunderbirds show.
We're all going to feel Obama's sequestration, some more than others. If ordinary Americans should take one for the cause, so should the president and other White House officials who advocated this crude tool for a slight reduction in growth of government spending.

Fiske earns award for pioneering work
Posted July 2, 2004; 11:56 a.m.
The Harvard University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences awarded its 2004 Centennial Award to Princeton psychologist Susan Fiske during its commencement ceremonies June 9.
Fiske, who earned a bachelor's degree and Ph.D. from Harvard, was one of four recipients of the Centennial Award, which is the highest honor awarded by the Harvard graduate school.
Harvard honored Fiske for her pioneering work in understanding cultural stereotyping, particularly regarding race and gender in the workplace. Fiske, a professor of psychology, came to Princeton in 2000 from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. She has written dozens of influential papers and books, including most recently "Social Beings: A Core Motives Approach to Social Psychology" (2003).

Nine cardiac arrests now. Or maybe ten. It's a little harder to keep track than you might imagine.
It's also an interesting excercise to transfer fame-in-application-development into the consulting arena. It's working, though. A transfer to linux for a customer a year ago has cut their systems TCO by a whopping 90 percent, including consulting fees, training, and whatnot. Much niftiness to be had by all.
Now for the educational part of our little session...No, wait. I might post it as an article instead.

Shani Jayanti, or Sani Jayanthi, is believed to be the day when Lord Shani, one of the Navagrahas made its appearance on Earth. In 2017, the date of Shani Jayanti is May 25, Thursday. Shani is feared by those people who believe and follow astrology, as Shanaishchara has the capacity to create malefic influence on the horoscope and thus in their life.
On Shani Jayanti day, people perform special pujas at Navagraha Temples or in Shani Temples. Those Hindus having Saturn cycle or Shani cycle or Sade Sathi in their horoscope perform special pujas like Shani Yagya or Homa. Some devotees observe a fast (fasting or upvaas) on the day and the rules observed are similar to Shanivar Vrat or Saturday Fasting.
You can find more details about Shanaishchara Jayanthi in this article.
To overcome the fear of Shan all you need to do is offer prayers to Hanumanji.
Offerings to be made in Shani Temple - Black cloth, black til (sesame), and til oil.
It must be noted that there are numerous crooks in the guise of astrologers, pandits and pujaris who take undue advantage of innocent people on such occasions. They put the blame for all misfortune on Shani and try to conduct expensive pujas etc. Beware of such crooks.

Sex, offensive slam poets, and a naked film editor add to the director's journey for egoless self-identity in this home movie-style portrait of lilting self-loathing.
i hate myself :) (Joanna Arnow | Brooklyn, NY | 56 min.)
A lot of documentary filmmakers think they are interesting subjects, confidently turning the lens on themselves. Joanna Arnow challenges that paradigm. Seemingly insecure to the point of self-loathing, she perpetually puts herself in a position of pain and judgment before the camera. But Arnow also uses the camera as a tool to uncover truths about herself, and in her self-depiction challenges our notions about relationships.
The 20-something filmmaker here documents her first relationship through the reactions of those around her: her parents, who are blunt yet loving; her friends, disembodied voices on the phone, adamantly giving advice; the editor of her film, a pushy, nude Freud with a 'fro; and the film's co-antagonist, Arnow's boyfriend, a "performance artist" out to offend, drinking heavily and hovering just above derelict. Through her associates' viewpoints, she reveals a raw and honest portrait of twenty-something Brooklyn malaise and the pathos that fuels it.
Arnow's debut feature (her short film "Month One" screened at Rooftop in 2012) voices a self-depiction that is shockingly candid, compared to the banal over-sharing of most social media personal documentation, or to the carefully-crafted faux openness of celebrities. Intentionally eschewing a smooth narrative or glossy production, with Arnow's defiant spirit she artfully compiles her experiences into a journey down the winding paths she is forging within the rickety world around her.
Following in Rooftop's tradition of screening films about real lives, this gritty home movie portraiture exposes even the most unbecoming moments, times most of us want to forget. Arnow's depredations become so abject as to be comical, and as a viewer, you are made uncomfortable, but you're rooting for her. You wish for her sake that she would take control of the relationships in her life, but she's unable. i hate myself :) is a grotesque exercise in existential crisis, but made with a smile, asking us all to define just how much control we have in our own lives.

I'm hoping (fingers crossed) to get a basic set this weekend from one of the guys in my club.
Fantastic set of cards! Nice pictures, some of them new.
I might have to work on completing the subsets -- battle, bad feeling -- cards in the future.
It took me damn near an hour to put all of these cards in sleeves. Had to go out and get a bigger binder, too.
Only have two each of the Bad Feeling and Great Battle cards. If I can find those sets cheap, I might pick up.
They're gone from Target. : (
I'd still like to get complete sets of the Bad Feeling, Great Battles and other cards.
Saw this on another site: Galactic Files Series 2 is on the way later this summer.
So does this mean we're still getting the Jedi Legacy cards and the GF 2 cards this year, too?
I wonder if continuing an established series is easier than starting a new one.
It could be, as long as there are areas left to explore. There's a lot of EU that left to explore.
We're setting getting the Jedi Legacy cards as scheduled in May, I've been told.
One of my buddies got a couple of cases of the new Jedi Legacy cards. I checked out my local Target and nothing yet.
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll start checking there now, too (well, not NOW now, but soon now), and looking for online sets deals.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Seasonal Preparation
Perf / is a great knot, and maybe we can put it on video so I can put the clip into the "knowledge" section as we start to build that up over the next few weeks.
The other line-line loop of note is the loop connector, which can be either store bought or constructed for better performance. The ones from the guys in the northwest are really well thought out because they are very important to the hybrid line systems used out there. It would be interesting to document these techniques as well.
Good luck this weekend! (wish I were going)
RE:Seasonal Preparation
Thanks. I'll try the clinch with the overhand stopper. I also think Lou T. had some terminal loop recipies in his latest book, I'll have to look.
As far as loop-to-loop connections, I like the perfoection loop, as it is very stright (i.e., in-line with the line). I've heard that it isn't the strongest knot, but for butts and the heavey ends of leaders this should not be a problem.
The perfection loop is very hard to describe how to tie it, but very easy to SHOW. I've even found a little trick to make'm really small, but it's a show not a tell.
RE:Seasonal Preparation
grego -
I am referring to loops for joining lines to lines, and lines to butt sections. I've been meeting more and more folks who prefer the loop knot of which you speak (terminal to fly) to enhance the action.
Basically, you tie an overhand knot into the tippet as a stopper, then tie a clinch knot above the stopper knot. (Brian - care to clarify for grego?)
I tend to try to design flies to be active in the water as opposed to changing the terminal knot. This all depends on the fly, in other words the best knot in one case is different than in others. For instance, I prefer to use a double turle for upturned loop eyes on steelhead / salmon flies. This also suits the riffle hitch for skating the same fly where the loop knot would not. But that's another story and I guess I am not staying on topic...
As far as stripers are concerned, I think the heavy tippets and motion in the water (ie: surf) make loop knots a good idea. But you don't need a loop knot for a felt crab. Sand eel patterns don't typically move in the front section, but you want a lot of motion in the second half of the body. I don't think a loop will help for many of my solid forward body sand eel patterns. For a popper, I probably prefer a nice solid tie to a stiff tippet. Juvies, on the other hand are probably a good fly for loop knots although I feel confident that the marabou abdomen I tie in makes the hackle tips dance in the foil regardless of the terminal knot.
I'll try them out this season and see if it makes a believer out of me. We should have a lessons learned season-ending discussion for the record as well!
RE:Seasonal Preparation
At the UFT meeting last week, Lefty gave a short talk on knots. He's a big advocator of the Surgeons Loop. Says they are strong as anything. But you have to tighten them correctly, pulling out the slack on all 4 legs (2 legs being the loop itself). I've carried over Blod Knots from trout fishing but noticed I was the only one using them in the salt. So I've tied up some surgeon loops this year, I find it weird having bulky loops in the leader, but maybe I'll get used to them.
RE:Seasonal Preparation
With regard to loop recipies, are you referring to loop knots to attach fly to tippet, which improves the action of the fly? If so, I'm very interested in learning at least one (preferably easy) technique. GregO.
RE:Seasonal Preparation
Great stuff! Hey Sully, ever think about patenting the epoxy dryer design? As I recall there were several designs at your tying clave... anyone?
An option would be to post the recipes to compare and contrast them if nothing else. Of course if there are any plans to mass produce please don't post them, I'd hate to have anything to do with diluting the potential of a good idea.
On a related note, I've come across several good loop recipes lately and will post them all. Ed Ward, "the steelhead bum", recently inspired me to keep the experimentation going, there's no place for complacency with fly-tinkerers. MikeF has a great recipe on flyfishsaltwaters.com . There is no one killer loop as far as I can see, but there are many good ones. It would be great to document them all!
(If you have any loop recipes, feel free to post them as well)
RE:Seasonal Preparation
My preparations have involved getting out and doing some casting for trout and casting on the lawn with the new 8wt. My neighbors must think I am a nut-case with all the 'lawn-fishing' I have been doing.
Need to get back and tie some more flies - but seem to have a good enough supply of clousers and sand eels to last a while, have to focus on those herring flies some more. BTW I love that sheep hair for those flies - very nice translucency when wet and a good profile.
Here is a picture of the new toy - boy does it zip line !!
Wish it was a better picture - Diamondback Backwater with garnet wraps and silver accents.
RE:Seasonal Preparation
1. I built a stripping basket over the winter. Followed a cross between Sully's and Lou Tabory's design. Do it! Best $4.00 I ever spent.
2. Patched hole in waders with 3M 5200 Marine Sealant.
3. Built new leaders for my new flylines. (nailknots, surgeon loops).
4. New Flashlight. Went to REI in Reading and bought a "Pelican" for $16.00. Clips on your Baseball hat brim, or pocket, vest etc. Plenty Water resistant too.
5. I also got a waterproof disposable camera for xmas.
Damn I'm ready.
RE:Seasonal Preparation
Other than Spring patterns, what other pre-season preparations are people going? I ask this, because I started SWFF mid-season last year, So this is my first time getting my Fly gear ready for the spring run! So far, I have cleaned and stretched my lines, checked all of my knots from the backing on out, tied up some Floro leaders and oiled my reels.
For my fly lines, I used a small butt section (12") of heavey mono with a loop connection. These look fine from last season, but should I nail knot on NEW butts to my fly lines?
Are there other pre-season maintainance iteams that I didn't think to do?
Seasonal Preparation
Since my ritual early spring trip to the PNW, I am back in black for the striper's arrival to my home waters. It goes without saying that you are too... after another winter.
To prepare for the onslaught of linesiders, I've finally been able to crank out a few flies for the spring. Looking back at past years experiences, the exhuberance of the spring arrivals makes fly pattern choices not a big deal when the fish are feeding actively and openly on Nantucket Sound. Spots where I have had great luck finding fish this time of year run from Nobska all the way to Hardings on the sound side, and big fish aren't far behind the herring runs on both sides of the cape.
I always tie and use large herring patterns in spring around the runs and this tactic has payed off over the years. These are big flies (Jay Horton dubbed one of these flies "the chicken fly" due to the amount of materials on the tie during the outer beaches clave). Two-handed rods are a definite advantage for fishing such large flies.
Soon thereafter the arrival of sand eels on the scene co-incides in large part with the arrival of larger fish on the flats, and there is a pre-Father's Day bonanza of big fish on small flies on the flats before they warm up and the big bass move off to Billingsgate.
In conclusion, my tying patterns co-incide with this sequence:
- easy, good fish grabber flies in April for schoolies
- large alewife and blueback patterns for April / May
- sand eel patterns in June
Then as mid-summer progresses the crab flies come to the vise and finally the YOY pogies and YOLY (last year) forage species which I imagine we will see a lot of - will be the ticket through autumn.
