Buy Sheet Music by
Frank Loesser at:
Frank Loesser was born in New York City on June 29, 1910. His father was well known as a pianist and teacher, frequently accompanying the celebrated Wagnerian soprano Lilli Lehmann. His older half-brother Arthur Loesser was to become one of the greatest pianists and music educators of his day. Frank Loesser, however, never studied music formally but would become one of the most influential film and stage musical writers in history.
Loesser wrote his first song at the age of six (The May Party) and as a child taught himself the harmonica and then the piano. Growing up in New York, he attended the Townsend Harris High School and then City College in New York. He left college in 1930, and experimented with several jobs including newspaper advertising, process server and newspaper editor until he began to write songs and sketches for radio scripts. Loessers first published song was In Love With the Memory of You, with music by William Schuman (later Schuman would become a serious composer and the President of Julliard School of Music).
In the mid-1930s, he collaborated with composer Irving Actman, contributing 5 songs to the Broadway show The Illustrators Show. While the show was unsuccessful, Loesser had been discovered by Hollywood. Universal Pictures put him under contract in 1936 to write songs for film musicals. For Universal and then Paramount Pictures, Loesser would write the scores for more than sixty films over a 3-decade period.
In Hollywood, Loesser collaborated with several composers, such as Harold Rome and Alex North, but his biggest successes came after he took over both the lyric and musical composition. The first song written entirely by Frank Loesser was Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition, a huge wartime hit.
After World War II, Loesser moved back to New York City to write for the Cy Feuer-Ernest Martin production Wheres Charley. The musical opened on October 11, 1948 and had a run of 792 performances. Loesser followed up the success of Wheres Charley, with the hit Guys and Dolls, which opened on November 24, 1950. With a score full of standards like A Bushel and a Peck, Ive Never Been in Love Before, Luck be a Lady, Ill Know, Sit Down, Youre Rocking the Boat, Guys and Dolls swept the Tony Awards that year, taking home the coveted Best Musical trophy.
In 1952, Loesser returned briefly to Hollywood to write the score for Hans Christian Anderson, a Danny Kaye vehicle that included "Ugly Duckling", "Inchworm", and "Thumbelina" (nominated for an Oscar in 1952).
Returning to Broadway in 1956, Loesser wrote the score and book for The Most Happy Fella, which included the hit songs Standing on the Corner and Big D, "Joey, Joey, Joey", and "Happy to Make Your Acquaintance". While The Most Happy Fella won the New York Drama Critics award in 1957, the production was memorable for another reason: it starred Jo Sullivan who would later become Mrs. Frank Loesser. Another success came in 1961 with the Broadway production How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. The production ran for four years and won the Pulitzer Prize and seven Tony Awards.
Throughout the years, Loesser collaborated with several of the great Tin Pan Alley composers, including Burton Lane, Hoagy Carmichael, Jimmy McHugh, Jule Styne, Victor Schertzinger and Arthur Schwartz.
Often called the most versatile of all Broadway composers, Frank Loesser passed away at the age of 59 on July 26, 1969 in New York City. He was survived by his wife Jo and four daughters.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 5:55 PM GMT on February 20, 2012
Since 2006 , federally declared weather-related disasters in the United States have affected counties housing 242 million people--or roughly four out of five Americans. That's the remarkable finding of Environment America, who last week released a detailed report on extreme weather events in the U.S. The report analyzed FEMA data to study the number of federally declared weather-related disasters. More than 15 million Americans live in counties that have averaged one or more weather-related disasters per year since the beginning of 2006. Ten U.S. counties--six in Oklahoma, two in Nebraska, and one each in Missouri and South Dakota--have each experienced ten or more declared weather-related disasters since 2006. South Carolina was the only state without a weather-related disaster since 2006. The report did a nice job explaining the linkages between extreme weather events and climate change, and concluded, "The increasing evidence linking global warming to certain types of extreme weather events--underscored by the degree to which those events are already both a common and an extremely disruptive fact of life in the United States--suggests that the nation should take the steps needed now to prevent the worst impacts of global warming and to prepare for the changes that are inevitably coming down the road."
Figure 1. County-level map of federally-declared weather-related disasters between 2006 - 2011. Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in the Midwest, and heavy rains and snows from Nor'easters, hurricanes, and other storms in the Northeast gave those two regions the most disaster declarations. An interactive version of this map that allows one to click and see the individual disasters by county is on the Environment America website.

I realize Wisconsin and the ME are on the front page, but I don't recall any thread about gun control recently. I may have missed it, but this was sent to me the 2nd time, so thought it worthy of discussion and comment.
UBThe ATF has a very political agenda in mind, and that is to take away your gun rights---even if it means allowing gun sales to criminals so they can present "evidence" to the administration that the Second Amendment should be restricted or abolished!On December 14, 2010, Customs and Border Protection Agent Brian Terry was shot as he tried to capture heavily armed "bandits" targeting illegal immigrants trying to get across the border near Rio Rico, Arizona. He died the next morning.It was a tragic incident that occurs frequently on our southern border, made all the more tragic because THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE THAT WAS USED TO KILL AGENT TERRY WAS BOUGHT BY A CRIMINAL AND SMUGGLED INTO MEXICO UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND FIREARMS (ATF)."The gun used to kill Agent Brian Terry has been sourced, not to Mexico, but to a gun store in Phoenix that was actually part---and cooperating---with a federal investigation into arms trafficking. However, U.S. agents did not stop the sale or the transfer of that gun to the cartels that killed Terry." - William Lajeunesse, Fox News broadcast (February 22, 2011).Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) is now demanding answers on ATF's "Project Gunrunner." Hundreds of guns were allowed to be purchased along the border by alleged straw buyers, while ATF conducted its investigation and DID NOTHING. The ATF looked the other way while these guns slipped into Mexico into the hands of drug cartels, and then they blamed gun laws in the United States for the transactions.Anti-gun activists, led by the Obama administration, are doing all they can to make the connection between law-abiding citizens and deranged criminals---even standing by while known drug dealers purchase guns on our soil and take them back to Mexico... and then use them to take the lives of our brave border agents!The ATF is under threat of a 13% budget cut. They claim cuts will hurt their efforts to prevent firearms trafficking on the Mexican border---but the death of Agent Terry exposed how corrupt and inadequate this initiative has been.What lengths will the ATF go to in order to keep their funding?James Cavanaugh, a retired ATF official says losing 13% of their budget "would really handicap the ATF. It's a small agency and it's a lean machine. With ATF, it would be an amputation."ATF's own agents say that sometime in late 2009 or early 2010, the Phoenix office of ATF began to implement a policy of "walking" semi-automatic rifles south of the border. One agent says, "The agency was not only looking the other way but actually facilitating trafficking, threatening and punishing agents who voiced objections, covering up trace information, the truth about the gun that killed BPA Terry, what I.C.E. knew, it goes on and on."The accusations against ATF and DOJ officials include:1. They intentionally allowed perhaps as many as 3,000 firearms to "walk" across the U.S. border into Mexico.2. They instructed U.S. gun dealers to proceed with questionable and illegal sales of firearms to suspected gunrunners.3. They intentionally withheld information about U.S.-sanctioned gun smuggling from the Mexican government.4. One of the guns ATF allowed or helped to be smuggled into Mexico was involved in the death of CBP Agent Brian Terry.For two years, we've been hearing from Holder and others in the Obama administration about a so-called 'iron pipeline' of American guns across the border, and federal officials have been working to strip you of your rights.Wouldn't it be ironic to learn that while the Obama administration was blaming our gun rights for the drug war violence in Mexico, its own gun sting operation was a major source of illicit firearms?Obama nominated anti-gun zealot Andrew Traver to head up the ATF prior to Congressional recess last year, and reappointed him in the 112th Congress---but the Senate Judiciary Committee has yet to hold hearings. Rumors are that this Gunrunner issue is causing problems, because the ATF doesn't want questions about this case to come up.What does the ATF not want us to know?This is a cover-up at the highest levels of our government. To make matters worse, Homeland "Security" has ordered the Border Patrol agents to use Bean Bag Guns first prior to resorting to using firearms. The nine armed Mexicans (against two agents) had AK-47's, the same gun used by the Viet Cong in Vietnam. As it's been said many times since the Border Patrol agent's killing....an AK-47 firearm beats a bean bag gun everytime! Janet Napolitano should be fired! The killed agent fired his bean bag gun. The Mexicans fired their AK-47's.If you believe in the right to own a gun, please forward this to everyone on your mailing list. There is just too much corruption in government and various bureaucracies, but Homeland Security has proven it's worthless policies again.

Pfaffl, Recent Vintages
I've tasted a number of wines of Pfaffl before. Frighteningly, my profile of Roman Pfaffl and his domaine seems to have been written five years ago, proof that you don't have to be on the brink of death in order to have your life flash by.
Unsurprisingly, things have changed here over that length of time. Roman and his wife Adelheid have now been joined by their son and daughter, one managing the estate the other looking after viticulture and winemaking. There are new cellars and winemaking facilities too, and the vineyards have more than doubled in size. This is certainly not the domaine it was five years ago. So I was glad to be able to take a fresh look at some of the wines. The first two I report on here were my favourites from a half-dozen I tasted.
Pfaffl Grüner Veltliner Weinviertel DAC Reserve Hundsleiten 2011: From a vineyard of flysch, alternating sandstone and clay speckled with quartz, planted with vines now 32 years old. Bottled under screwcap. A delightfully fruit-rich character on the nose, forward, open and expressive, with notes of bright and vibrant orange zest along with pineapple tinges. Fresh, bright, pithy, with vanilla, minerally and white pepper elements. The palate is just as fruit rich as the nose, with slightly salty, minerally tinges running alongside notes of lemon and orange fruit, lychee and white peach, all with a slightly bitter, pithy depth and grip. A good firm finish to this, with a sappy, savoury substance underneath the fruit, and it is stacked with minerals. Alcohol 13.5%. 16.5/20
Pfaffl Riesling Am Berg 2010: From the In Sandlern vineyard. Bottled under natural cork. Some really interesting character on the nose here, as although it starts off with vibrant and rather plainly defined fruit, backed up by the richness of honey on toast, there are more complex elements here too, although they take a little time to come out. There are notes of chalky minerality, with a lightly matchsticky reductive edge. The palate shows the sweet flesh of a handsome residual sugar, and on top of that there is concentrated, lightly pithy fruit sweetness, with lovely smoky and minerally edges to the diffuse tropical fruit character. We have pineapple here, with hints of kiwi and passion fruit, and a good pithy, grippy finish. This is really appealing. Alcohol 12.5%. 16.5/20
The remaining wines were as follows:
Pfaffl Grüner Veltliner Weinviertel DAC Haidviertel 2011: From a vineyard of deep loess over flysch, and the vines are 27 years old. Bottled under screwcap. Bright, minerally, with white stone elements and white peach suggestions as well, and with lightly smoky and salty elements to it. These latter aspects come through very well on the palate, which has plenty of pith to it but also plenty of finely poised, energetic minerality. This has a super freshness and slightly diffuse but exotic fruit character. Good style here, with a tight and minerally style. Alcohol 12.5%. 15.5/20
Pfaffl Grüner Veltliner Weinviertel DAC Reserve Goldjoch 2011: From loess and sandy soils. Bottled under natural cork. A lovely, fresh, lightly tropical fruit character at first, but this gives way to a slightly fimer, more minerally, salty character. And the fruit shows a more challenging, lemony edge too, which adds appeal. The palate has that full, fat character that comes with the richer, tropical tones first picked up, but there is plenty of grip and structure beneath it as well. Rather a rich style of Grüner here, slightly fleshy, but certainly dry. And amongst the lemony-tropical fruit there is a classic white pepper minerality to it, and enough bite to keep it alive on the palate. Although in the finish, to be honest, it misses a little definition. Alcohol 14%. 16/20
Pfaffl Wien 2 2010: A blend of Blauer Zweigelt (a cross between St Laurent and Blaufränkisch) and Pinot Noir. Bottled under screwcap. A moderately deep cherry-red hue, although certainly transparent. Smoke and baked strawberry on the nose, with a very soft feel to it. There is a charred, toasted-almond edge alongside that smoke as well. A softly plump palate, although it is quite dry, with a nice grip to it around a rather full and gently weighty feel. Good definition to the structure at least, with a linear feel to it around the fatter, softer, centre of the wine. It has a bright acidic tone as well, although the fruit is less clearly prescribed, suggestive of puréed raspberry and strawberry laced with a trace of savoury beetroot. Alcohol 12.5%. 14/20
Pfaffl St Laurent Altenberg 2009: From loess and loam soils. Bottled under natural cork. A slightly deeper colour here than Wien 2, with a more claretty hue. A more reserved nose, dark plum, opening out to reveal richer and more defined fruit characteristics, damson with a wild hawthorn edge. A very harmonious and unassuming, rather polished start to the palate, with a little more crunch to the definition of the wine through the middle. Supple in style, with nicely defined edges to the palate again, ripe but restrained fruit character and a little grip in the finish. Overall, pretty good. Alcohol 13.5%. 15/20

By The Associated Press
JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of a Lowndes County man for sale of cocaine.
Freddie Webber is serving 30 years in prison after a jury found him guilty during a trial in September of 2011.
In his appeal, Webber said a video tape of a drug transaction presented in court should have been excluded because it contained evidence of "previous bad facts".
He also said the evidence didn't support a conviction and the judge should have allowed a cautionary instruction to the jury because of the testimony of a confidential informant.
The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected Webber's arguments.

It is raining. This is a turkey.
Furthermore, it is utterly disgusting that a USB-to-DB9 serial converter cable costs $80. I mean really. Yes, I guess there's some twiddling involved, but yeesh.
I'm not going to mention the big honking expensive shiny brand-new server that only has an RS-232 port to configure it, nor will I mention that ordinary people's laptops haven't had such ports in nearly a decade and rely on USB instead, because it's ever so much saner. Really, I'm not. The juxtaposition hurts too much.
It has been a 19200 8N1 kind of day.
At least it's blue. The cable that is. And see-through. Ooh.

Without getting to wrapped up in politics, flag waving, and humming the Battle Hymn of the Republic while draped in a flag, I want to talk a bit about citizenship in Scouting.
Today, I sat in the back of our meeting place while 8 of our Scouts took advantage of a merit badge counselor's day of instruction. Three of the Scouts of our Troop wanted to work on the Citizenship merit badges, they contacted the counselor and set up a day that the three of them would meet with him. Well, word got out and then a few more guys wanted to work on the merit badges, so they contacted me and asked if they could all meet in the Knights Hall where the Troop meets. I agreed to open it up, get the heat on, and make the room available for the group to work with the counselor.
Eight Scouts showed up today to work the Citizenship in the Community, Nation, and World merit badges, what I got was a civics lesson unlike I have seen or heard since I was in the sixth grade.
The counselor taught these young men what it means to be a Scout and a citizen. I was so impressed with the class, the scouts, and happy that we, in the Scouting movement provide this opportunity.
Baden Powell's goal for Scouting was to produce good citizens. In the book Aids to Scoutmastership, BP says; "…the Scout and Guide movement has the following possibilities;- the making of the individual into an efficient and happy citizen. The harnessing of the individual to work for the community… the promotion of the International goodwill, and through its brotherhood, as a practical step towards permant peace."
These merit badges do just that, especially when they are not just rushed through. In 4 hours, eight Scouts learned more about being a citizen than most kids will learn throughout their years of schooling. In this game with a purpose, these Scouts will serve their communities through food drives, flag placements, bike rodeos, Good will ~ Good Turn events and countless other service opportunities. They will grow up with the knowledge of responsible citizenship, understanding the weighty task of voting and staying active within their communities.
I sat quietly for four hours today.. a remarkable feat in and of itself and watched Scouts learn and grow in a fun and interactive program. I am sure the word will get out and more and more of the Scouts of our troop will jump into this. Regardless, I had a remarkable time today watching this part of the Scouting game.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

I miss having journalists and patriots with his integrity and respect for his audience. We have sacrificed all notion of journalistic integrity on the alter of the Fox, equating patriotism with being the biggest bully on the block.
With respect to Vietnam, we picked the wrong side in 1957 when Eisenhower decided to reject the elections agreed to by France and the United Nations following France's agreement to withdraw. Eisenhower's mistake was cemented by Kennedy and taken to ridiculous extremes by Johnson and McNamara (who at least had the courtesy to apologize for the lies used to justify the war). We sent 60,000 of our young men, including kids I grew up with, to die and more than 300,000 to be wounded in a war that never should have been fought with a country that should have been and may still become one of our strongest allies in Asia. I'm glad we pulled out when we did. I wish we had done so a million lives sooner.
In the words of Walter Cronkite, "That's the way it is." And in the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that."
Jeff Goodwin
"Journalistic Integrity" was a fallacy that never existed. The Cronk is probably the best example, everyone took him as a respected source of news and the reality is he was just a liberal hack like most of the mainstream media today. With all the "integrity" scandals at the NY Times (Blair), CBS (Rather), et al its interesting that you singled out Fox because they lean right. Don't remember the stories of them manufacturing "evidence" on a Presidential candidate during a campaign.
Jeff, you missed my point. Had Walter Cronkite reported accurately after the Tet Offensive, the war might have ended in 1968 instead of 1973. Had reporter Cronkite told the American people what really happened, that we had inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy, caused massive damage to their capacity to fight and rallied American morale, The North Vietnamese would have been forced to approach the peace talks with more urgency. Instead, they learned to play into a war of attrition using the American press to serve their cause.
Yes, in hindsight the Vietnam War was a mistake. However, one journalist's influence of it changed the course of history.

Just wondering, who would you label as a "conservative hack?" I am a retired journalist, and a conservative and I consider Cronkite, Huntley/Brinkley and their cohorts the last true reporters to appear on TV news. They were first print journalists who moved to the new media--not the talking heads we must suffer on TV today. I agree with the notion that the majority of today's journalists are patently over-liberal and let their views enter into their reporting far too much. This has had to start with their university training. When I was a young reporter, news was news and opinions remained on the editorial pages. That was pounded into our young heads in J-school, at least at South Dakota State University, but I assume not so much today, unfortunately.
It's really not journalism today but, rip and read entertainment or political party talk on both sides of the issues.

Amazing discussion. Is there anything you right wingers can't blame on the media?
Walter Cronkite, a left wing hack "journalist" who, as part of the media mafia of the time, single handedly extended the Vietnam War. Truly a mainstream point of view.

Happy New Year to all of our ITF members.
Happy New Year to all of our ITF members.
January is usually the time to reflect on our past and look forward to the future. We don't know what will happen in the future, although we can plan and hope that things go our way. I would hope that we have learned from our past, whether it be good or bad. There is one thing for sure in the ITF, and that is you, my brothers and sisters in Taekwon-Do. The amazing thing to me about the ITF is the connection we share; it certainly is not only about the skills or technique (of which you are one of the best) but also the friendships we develop.
Unfortunately, there are things we can not control. The recent tragedy in Japan in early December 2011 has been devastating, and I am sure our Taekwon-Do brothers and sisters are still feeling the effects. I understand the radiation is very high in some parts of the country. Taekwon-Do is more than just about the 24 patterns; it is about who we are and how we can make the world a better place. Take a moment and show your support for our friends in Japan. I'm sure Master Jongmok Lee and our family members would appreciate it.
For every tragedy there can be a good side. For 2013, let us turn bad event into something good and reach out to all who need our help. The things we do today surely affects our future.
Thank you.

Are you ready to visit the home of the Caribbean sun? Antigua is the sunniest island in the Caribbean and boasts 365 beaches – one for each day of the year. Discover the luxury of this eastern Caribbean island as it offers up world-renowned sailing, snorkeling and a history rife with exploration and adventure.
The expansive, winding coastline that once made Antigua difficult for sailors to navigate is where today's travellers encounter a tremendous abundance of secluded, powdery soft beaches. The coral reefs that once wrecked many ships now attract snorkelers and scuba divers from around the world. And separated by only a few nautical miles off the coast, the fascinating little island of Barbuda is home to one of the region's most significant bird sanctuaries.
The trade winds that once safely guided exploring sailors into English Harbour now fuel one of the world's foremost maritime events, Sailing Week. The coasts of Antigua are ideal for yacht cruising and racing, with constant trade-winds, and seemingly endless harbours for exploration. A week could easily be spent cruising around this sunny island of the eastern Caribbean. Its sister island, Barbuda, has shell laden beaches so stretch long that they dip below the horizon.
Both Antigua and Barbuda are almost completely surrounded by well-preserved coral walls, reefs, and shipwrecks. The southern and eastern coasts of Antigua and virtually the entire coast of Barbuda are enclosed by coral, providing excellent conditions for shallow diving and snorkeling. There is little or no current in most places, and with water temperature averages at 25 C (80 F), these conditions couldn't be more perfect. Underwater visibility ranges up to 140 feet, making it easy to spot the exotic marine plants and animals.
To get a taste of the local arts and culture, there's no better place than Harmony Hall. Located in Brown's Bay at Nonsuch Bay, is the heart of the Antiguan arts and cultural community. Exhibits and showcases change throughout the year, but the annual highlights are the Antigua Artist's Exhibition and the Craft Fair, both in November. Harmony Hall was originally built around a sugar mill tower, which has since been converted to an attraction for both locals and visitors alike, as it offers one of the island's best panoramic views.
All that exploring is sure to work up an appetite. Make sure to enjoy one of Antigua's many water front restaurants - a perfect location for any meal. With endless adventure and hundreds of beaches at your fingertips, what's stopping you from visiting the home of the Caribbean sun? Book your trip to Antigua today!

|Art of Casting Analysis, refinement of the cast
|Topic Review (Newest First)
You hit the nail right on the head when you said that not having to think about your casting motions with a given rod is what makes casting pleasuarablle. That is why I like stiff, fast recovering rods, I don't have to think about what I'm doing when casting them; whereas, with the moderately stiff or soft rods, I have to think constantly about the need to use a longer, less quick on the power application stroke. Like you said, "When everything matches up, it becomes effortless".
Even with the extended-belly lines I use the same stroke, I just increase the amount of force added and extend its length just a little. This still applies a lot of line speed to all aspects of the cast, including the upstream sweep and D Loop formation. I also use both hands and arms pretty much equally to apply power to spey casts (including when forming the D Loop), and this really adds power very quickly while retaining the shorter, more explosive stroke I prefer. I must admit that a single spey's anchor can hit the water with considerable splash when using this style of casting stroke with a stiff rod and extended belly line; however, the large splash only occurs on cast over 80 ft with a floating line so it effect on fish in minimal.
Like you, I also down size my line with the extended belly lines. In fact, I've found that I must use one size smaller GrandSpey than XLT on a rod for it to feel right and not overload the rod.
You are absolutely right about stiff not being the same as fast. Stiff is resistance to bending, not rate of recovery to original state from bending. Take a hook for instance, it is stiff, but it has lousy recovery. In my mind, fast refers to the recovery rate of the rod after it has been bent under a casting load. And you can have a fast recovering rod without it being stiff. A stiff rod can also be progressive and not tip actioned, it does depend on how much power is applied, how quickly though.
Your observations about fast vs slower when describing a rod is why I've taken to describing rod action using stiffness, rate of recovery, and power instead of fast, medium, slow. Using the three parameters of stiff, recovery rate, and power gives a far more accurate picture of what the rod is doing under a casting load.
He takes a broad view; it also helps convince me of why I love the less stiff / more progressive action which allows me to feel the load increase to the apex of power at the point of release in a semi-relaxed yet positive manner.
The stiff rods that work so well for some people just don't equate to casting pleasure to me, his description sounds twitchy, almost spastic to my perspective of casting (although I can get very spastic at times!). Meanwhile it's perfectly natural and the right method for many others, and furthermore people change as they experiment and I might be eating these words someday
Using very high modulus materials in well articulated tapers a rod can simply do the work for the caster. Certainly stiff rods require the caster to work harder, but that sense of active involvement can the definition of pleasure to others, it's a matter of preference I'd guess. For me I love to feel like I am working in symphony with the rod and line motions, without having to really think too hard about it so the river can join in on the chorus and the fish might even come by to do a little solo.
"Stiff" does not equal "fast" to me. I guess you could say that casting is the bending of a lever to create potential energy (load) and the transfer of that energy into a line loop form to project it out there. Fast is, to me, a way of describing the line speed that the rod generates comfortably based on (a) ease of loading (b) recovery and transfer of this energy into the line (c) ease of accelerating the stroke into a lightning bolt of a loop. Certainly a fast rod does not have to be a stiff rod, in fact in my opinion the ultimate rod is the rod that generates high line speed without high effort, i.e. "not stiff but fast".
Is this possible? Who knows, I ain't no expurt - but this is subjective as we established above. However I do know what I like and so does flytyer and there is no wrong or right just preference as Tim put it. Perhaps some phyics and physiologics too.
But my perspective comes from casting a stiff rod with too light of a line and finding it very difficult to load the rod and thus make a good cast unless the caster really works his ass off to bend the rod. The resulting loop from a comfortable amount of effort has no line speed or power - this is what people experience when they say the "rod is not loading".
If a more progressive smoother flexing action rod with the same grain carrying capacity was used with the same line, the caster would be much more able to feel the loading of the line and albeit it would still be too light to generate adequate load and line speed it would sure feel better, and fish better. In the end I fish to feel better, and feel it to fish better. Starting to sound like Tim there!
I've been spending a lot more time with extended belly lines lately and have been getting more comfortable with them than in the past. Strangely I have come to love casting them
But other than the brief instant where the compression occurs between the grip and the already forward moving loop there is nothing really explosive about long belly casting, at least the way I have adapted to move the mega-grain anaconda out there with my average body frame.
First of all the lift is painfully slow or it fails, as is the sweep to D-loop which is a patient slow gliide to a d-loop that takes forever to materialize. The key for me was to adapt to the different feedback you get from a loop that is still very much moving backwards and start forward so that the forward stroke will not be too late by the time yo anaconda hits the water; letting the already-in-progress forward momentum compress against the anchor almost on it's own out there and follow it thru.
When everything is matched up it becomes effortless, it's all about timing. With these extended belly lines I find myself doing much better by slowing down and paying very close attention to timing, and that works much better for me by using a longer rod with a will to flex (willing taper) for me yet recovers very fast (high modulus).
I also prefer a comparatively lighter line (Rio's A classification). For instance, on a 14ft 9/10 Custom I like the Grandspey or XLT 7/8.
I prefer a rod that is very accomodating for the slowing down of things like lift and sweep - but has ample modulus and power to compress the final power stroke.
I think the best all-around action is a balance between the will to get bent for the caster and the want to recover quickly - just like a vaulting pole. If the pole vaulter didn't get that huge bend he would not be able to propel over the bar. If he increased the modulus of the pole material while using a taper to allow him to bend the lever, he might end up on the ceiling.
Just a bunch of theory, but certainly fun to discuss. I hope others join in on this discussion with their experiences.
Thanks for this link. Tim perfectly describes why I like and use stiff, fast recovery rods, and why I don't like soft or moderately stiff rods. I consistently overpower the soft and moderately stiff rods with the explossive burst of power from a short and very agressive stroke I use. The force added to the rod from my shoulders, back, and arms simply overpowers the softer rods.
This is also why I don't like the short-belly and shooting-head spey lines. The explosive stroke is also used to form the D Loop and with lines shorter than mid-bellies, it simply tosses the line straight back instead of forming a D Loop. I must make a very conscious effort to use a lot less power and a longer stroke with short-belly lines or soft and moderately stiff rods.

The bay is popular because of her cold water sources and Ali Tunas yacht restaurant. From here you can take a 60 minutes walk to the abandoned village of the greek village Levissi, today Kayaköy. Kayaköy is a village with decayed houses where Greeks were used to live up to the population exchange in 1922.

I agree B.Liebig, i have been to Cold Water Bay last year and i cannot recommend this restaurant either. The food was not so good. We ate swordfish but it tasted like if it was way too old. And also the prices where quite expensive
Great place! I would not recommend Ali's restaurant, though. We don't drink alcohol, so it was dinner with starters and everything plus water. Ali was not happy with the bill we ran up and we were treated in an almost rude way.

Gandhi has plenty to smile about – Government of India is seriously investing in bio science
The Government of India has named 2010-20 as the 'decade of innovations' and is currently in the process of formulating a new science, technology and innovation policy in order to live up to the same. Expected to be released in early 2013, the policy would reiterate the government's resolve to increase R&D spending to two percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) by 2017. With the increase in number of publications in scientific journals and the number of patents filed and granted, there are some early evidences of improvements in our global competitiveness.
Speaking at an international conference recently, Mr Vayalar Ravi, Minister of Science and Technology, Government of India, revealed that, "We foresee an opportunity for optimization of investments into R&D when we build on collaborative excellence. Sharing objectives, co-investments and co-generation of values to people through science seem to me as a new paradigm."
The government agencies have been offering various types of research grants and fellowships through soft loans or equity in order to conduct research in various fields of biotechnology and commercialize indigenous biotechnologies. There are three major departments under the Ministry of Science and Technology (S&T), Government of India; each with its own mandate and funding programs. These include the Department of Science and Technology (DST), the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR).
Besides these, the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR), the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) play a major role in the promotion of biotechnology in the country.
Over the last five years, there has been an increase (up to 25 percent) in public funding to promote research, across all government agencies. The budgetary provision for S&T spending witnessed a 10 percent hike in the recent budget. During the budget 2011-12, the Ministry for S&T received a total of $1.03 billion (Rs5,679 crore). The allocation for DBT, DSIR, and DST was $254.54 million (Rs1400 crore), $350.90 million (Rs1930 crore), and $427.09 (Rs2349 crore) respectively.
The DBT, which is the nodal agency for promoting biotechnology in the country, has been spending around $254.54 million (Rs1,400 crore) each year, to support R&D and innovation. Besides that, about 30 percent of the overall funding goes into the public-private partnerships (PPPs).

RE:Damn clever!
YIKES!...Even after allowing for the standard cold water shrinkage factor, so much for co-ed naked float tubing in snapping turtle country!
Photos at 11:00
Whatever...don't forget your PFD!
RE:Damn clever!
Roop - I'm in!
I just hope my tube arrives in time. With the car I drive, I'd have to strap it to the roof to leave it inflated. How's your assualt vehicle fairing these days? Last time we spoke, it sounded like it was destined for the mechanics or worse.
Juro - I had a snapper experience on the Taunton River last year. I was wading near the Berkley-Dighton bridge when up creeps a turtle the size of my car tire (see above car reference for sense of scale). I wouldn't have even noticed had it not nosed my knee. I nearly peed before getting out of my waders
RE:Damn clever!
A regular down at Blue Northern once told me about a mondo snapping turtle that he encountered while in his float tube. Apparently it was very interested in his dangling legs. Made me nervous just listening!
Lesson - paddle back to shore when you pee!
RE:Damn clever!
Hey AL,
I'll say what others forgot to add in their well meaning messages - congratulatoins on the float tube and welcome to the brotherhood!
Let's hit a few ponds this weekend if there isn't too much ice.
PS I just leave mine filled up.
RE:Damn clever!
Oh sure, like 3000 psi could really do any damage. Next you'll be telling me it's not safe to juggle blasting caps or climb ladders with razor blades in my mouth. [img]http://22.214.171.124/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif" border="0" align="middle"> Seriously, thanks for the words of caution; wouldn't want to win myself a Darwin award.
Just to be fair to my Washington friend, I think "too old" simply means used. I sort of filled in the blanks. That said, the cannister is sounding like a more sane choice for my purposes.
Wait! I have it. A Honda generator and commercial grade air compressor in the trunk. I could store the gas for the generator under the hood, right next to the manifolds <img src="http://18.104.22.168/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif[/img]
RE:Damn clever!
I looked up the Sears tank, It is $40 in the last Tool Catalog I have. It is a 9 Gallon tank and can be pressurized to 125 psi. Has a tire nozzle, short hose, and gauge. I have one and it works good. I do, most of the time use a small 12 volt compressor to pump up the tires in my truck after I come off the sand, takes about 15 minutes to do 4 tires. If anyone is interested in the tank let me know I will find the Model No. Please be careful using a float tube! Whether it is boats, or scuba I can usually find a way to get in and out of trouble. Do not use an old Scuba tank, Do not leave any tank full of air in a hot trunk, it might go boom!
RE:Damn clever!
Al - because I like you so much (not because I am argumentative ) I agree with Jared... I looked into this for re-inflation of tires after 4x4 oversand escapades on the bayside beaches. They're not like the backside where you can inflate at the parking lot - in fact Quivett requires a very long ride over potholes and stones before running to the nearest gas station over a mile past the rutty road.
I talked to scuba shops on the topic and although they seemed up on the idea, the things they said about inflation and safety measures turned me off.
According to them you can only fill at a dive shop, and the tank must be tested regularly for integrity in the concrete test tank. He said a tank is effectively "an air bomb" and "if one blows in the test tank, everyone in the shop knows it". He said it would not be a great idea to leave it in my truck between trips and to watch temperature extremes.
Despite this the tanks are capable of incredible filling power, unlike the tire tanks which I heard can't re-fill all four of my tires from 15 psi. I would probably need two tire tanks, where the scuba would cover multiple trips.
After this evaluation I decided to look into portable gas compressors and concluded that two tire cans is the way I will probably go if I decide to buy Oversand permits for anywhere besides the backside or the Race.
RE:Damn clever!
Al --
If a scuba tank is "too old" for underwater service (and I'm not sure what
that means exactly) -- I am going to *assume* it means that it would also
fail a hydro test...if that is the case, it is unsafe and illegal to fill
such an old tank...so you're looking at one shot with how ever much air
is in the darn thing and then toss it.
I respectfully must advise against the whole idea.
RE:Damn clever!
Sound advice on all fronts, Art.
The Sears tank would solve the problem of how to regulate pressure, which in a scub tank is upwards of 3000 psi when full.
RE:Damn clever!
Hi Al, Another means of filling a float tube is a small tank that Sears sells to carry in a vehicle to inflate tires, and whatever. It is about the size of a scuba tank, and requires nothing as most float tubes I have seen uses inner tubes.
Al, please be careful using a float tube, read my post, if you haven't already, in "Gear spoken here" One almost killed me. I gave mine away, and I haven't heard from the guy since. At any rate good luck. Just don't stumble walking backwards with fins on. I am going for an inflatable raft this year.
Damn clever!
I just pre-spent a little of my XMas money and bought a large capacity float tube off E-Bay from a kindly gent who fishes in Washington state. He related to me a trick for inflating it. Some of you may already know about this, but to me it's the most innovative thing I've heard all year.
Take an old scuba tank -- one that's too old for continued underwater service (you can pick these up for next to nothing at a scuba shop). Rig the float tube's filler nozzle to the tank outlet (a little sketchy on the details, but it sounds like a doable winter project). Open the valve with the nozzle in the float tube and whoosh!! You're done in under 20 seconds. Just be careful not to over-inflate!!
I've seen some battery operated pumps that can take as long as ten minutes to do the same job.
One detail I'm still a little unsure of is filling the tank: does anyone know if scuba tanks can be filled using a "regular" air compressor such as might be found at a gas station?

Visiting Dublin recently, I was dismayed by a telling bit of sartorial sociology: Yankees caps outnumbered Red Sox caps by about 10 to one. Granted, the Irish aren't all that keen on baseball, so this generalization was based on observing only about 11 hats. Nonetheless, it was distressing. Where was the love for what is, by all accounts, the most Irish city in America?
Nearly a third of Bostonians claim Irish ancestry, far and away the largest percentage of any American city. They came here in sudden, massive waves: impoverished rural refugees from the Great Famine of the 1840s, arriving as East Coast cities were in the thrall of democratic ferment, fired by roaring industry. And given Boston's smallish size in contrast to a metropolis like New York, they've left a cultural mark disproportionate even to their large numbers. In this town — as Bruce Bolling, the first African-American president of Boston City Council, once winked to the Globe's former Dublin bureau chief Kevin Cullen — "we're all Irish by osmosis."
Bolling spoke those words 20 years ago, immediately after his ascension to council president, at which point he "used his office and power to punish a political rival, maintaining a tradition that stretched back nearly a century, when Irish ward bosses used their clout to exact revenge against anyone who challenged the machine," Cullen writes.
Two decades later, the Irish don't have quite the lock on City Hall and Beacon Hill they once did. There's still a Feeney and a Flaherty and a Murphy on the Boston City Council. But there's also a LaMattina, an Arroyo, and a Yoon. In the Massachusetts State House, the Senate President is a Travaligni and the House Speaker is a DiMasi. City Hall has been controlled by a Menino since 1994.
In a city once known as "the next parish over" from Connaught, Irish emigrants are coming in ever fewer numbers to work in pubs and on paint crews; in fact, many are returning to the flush economy back home. Meanwhile, shamrock-bedecked South Boston has undergone blindingly rapid change. As recently as 1988, historian Thomas O'Connor could write that Southie "has survived with perhaps the fewest changes in its ethnic, social, and religious composition" as anywhere in Boston. Now, a two-bedroom condo there costs $500,000. Once-omnipotent pols like Billy Bulger and Tom Finneran have been laid low. The Littlest Bar is in ruins. A Southie-set flick like The Departed wins Best Picture? Big deal. It was directed by an Italian, and Jack Nicholson, playing a mobster based on Bulger's brother Whitey, does so wearing a Yankees cap.
One hundred and sixty years after the blackest year of the famine, nearly half a century since John F. Kennedy rose to the highest office in the land, is the fabled potency of the Boston Irish becoming a distant memory?

'Making Waves' in support for tsunami relief
Posted February 24, 2005; 01:18 p.m.
Several campus groups have organized an effort based on the Japanese
art of origami to raise funds for areas affected by the recent Indian
Ocean tsunami.
The folding of paper cranes is known as an international symbol of peace and compassion. This new effort, "Making Waves," involves folding origami waves to memorialize victims of the tragedy.
Members of the campus and local communities are working together to fold 150,000 waves, each for a suggested donation of $1. The goal is to raise $150,000 to go to CARE USA for rebuilding communities in the affected regions.
Several folding events are planned on campus and in local
communities through April 23. During the week of Feb. 21, origami
instructors are staffing tables at the Frist Campus Center between noon
and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and all day Saturday. In addition, an
exhibit of information about the "Making Waves" project, along with
animal origami from around the world, is on display on the main floor
of the center.
Campus activities are being organized by student leaders from the Global Issues Forum, Princeton Tsunami Relief, Community House, Student Volunteers Council and Cotsen Children's Library Outreach Volunteers. More information about the initiative, including a calendar of events, is available online.

Remember though not only having a shotgun that fits you, but also taking it out in the field and see what she does on paper with various loads and chokes. It might be a little effort on your side, but it will reap rewards during huntin season.
Get a Beretta A400 with kick off. One thing about shooting, if you're worried about recoil you will miss your target.
I used to shoot a 10ga BPS and never felt the recoil. I'm so jacked at birds working all that goes to the wayside.
Was in the same boat last week and went with the Beretta A400. Thought I got a hell of a deal for $1,450 w/ free shipping. Cant post links yet but here is the address. They already went up $50. Whatever u decide look at these two sites and you can come across some deals. Good luck!

Neil Roberts's practice ranges across different forms of artistic expression including sculpture, studio glass, installation and performance.
His work is characterised by dramatic relationships of materials and motifs. It is visually and psychologically confronting in the spirit of the subversive Dada movement pioneered in Europe by Marcel Duchamp in the early 20th century. Untitled (Knife 2), like much of Roberts's work, combines wry humour with unsettling social critique.
Recalling the shattered glass plate of Duchamp's The large glass (1915-23), this smaller work exploits the brittle and vulnerable nature of the medium. Sharp internal fractures in the panel convey a sense of menace or impending calamity.

"You are either part of the problem or part of the solution…" a great approach to being a part of an organization. You truly are either part of the problem or part of the solution. When we teach our Scouts how to lead, being part of the solution is the driving force that they need to quickly embrace and practice. Never is it ok for a leader to be a part of the problem. We and the youth leaders of our units are problem solvers.. never problem makers.
I never allow a youth leader to make excuses.. there are none, ever. We are accountable for our actions, decisions, and the outcomes of our leadership. It's never the committees fault, the districts fault, or the council's fault. We are unit leaders, us and the youth, and we run our units. If something is broke, we fix it.
Last year during our recharter, a couple of our Scouts were inadvertently dropped in Scout Net. Now I could have raised hell and blamed everyone and their brother.. but what good does it do? Rather, we took our copy of the application down to the Scout office and got it fixed. Real simple. What shocked me though was when the gal at the Council service desk informed me that usually this issue is met with irate leaders that want satisfaction. Satisfaction at what expense? Tearing into someones hide? Very Scout like don't you think? Lets assume that all of our units do a good job at record keeping. Well then there is no issue, right.. we just take down our copy and done.
We are either part of the problem or part of the solution. It is easy to point fingers and assume that things will be messed up. Patrol leaders try this all the time. They try to pass the buck or play the blame game. This is always a great teaching opportunity.
In my Troop we use the Happy Hand approach to rules.
1. Hold up your Thumb.. Everything is OK.. working together we will get through it.
2. Your Pointer Finger is not to be used to point at anyone.. remember there are 3 fingers pointing back.
3. Your Middle finger is never to be used by itself.
4. The Ring finger represents committment. We are committed to each other all the time.
5. The pinky finger is fragile… A reminder to be safe.
Everything there keeps us in the problem solving game and not the blame game. Teach the Scouts to solve problems and seek areas to improve. Never allow finger pointing and backing out of events because they think it will not be worth their time. So many times Scouts with great attitudes can swing a sub standard event. I have seen it many times.
If they want to complain, they need to offer a solution.
NOW.. that goes for you adults to… How you act is how your Scouts will act. You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. PICK ONE.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

It's almost all over and and exactly one ship or vehicle will get to claim the Championship Title as the Ultimate, Best Hasbro Star Wars Toy of All-Time!
Tonight the king of the lightweights will be ultimately decided.
Luke Skywalker's landspeeder beat Zam Wessel's airspeeder 85-80 in a hotly contested match where Luke sneaked past the bounty hunter with just 52% of the 165 votes. The Landspeeder seats 2 action figures in the front, while 2 more, including droids, can ride on the back behind the seats. Spring-loaded wheels help the Landspeeder look like it's floating as it rolls over hardfloors. But for fun spin-outs on the rug, shift the drive gear back and the wheels hide inside for the least resistance on carpeting. Pop open the hood to make engine repairs, or at least admire the decale that lets you pretend that's what you're doing. Luke's Landspeeder is also detailed with one engine panel removed, the turbine exposed for added realism. The Landspeeder also beat the Naboo's Flash Speeder 51-20 for a win carrying over 71% of the votes.
Challenging Luke are 3 riders including both "his clone" and his twin sister on the Aratech 74-Z Military Speeder Bike, which was featured in Return of the Jedi. This vehicle has been packed with every known movie pilot which today includes its standard pilot, the Imperial Scout Trooper, as well as Leia, Luke himself, and Ewok Scout Paploo. All of the pack-in figures are available in other venues (save for Paploo) be it a carded figure, or a Millennium Minted Coin box figure. Meanwhile, the speeder bike features a pivoting blaster cannon, braking flaps that operate remotely when the foot pedals are moved, and an explosive battle damage feature that causes the craft to blow apart when the camouflage jacket is pressed down on the rear of the craft.
The Speederbike defeated the Swoopbike 82-23 carrying 78% of the vote to its victory. It did similarly well against a Battledroid on a STAP in the Quarterfinals, where the Imperial Speederbike finished 135-35 carrying 79% of the vote (out of 170) for another perfect finish.
So which craft will last out of the Semi-Finals and attempt to go all the way?
The champion of the lightweights is....

Bond Street
This two block street, put on the map in the early 17th century was originally home to many of New York's wealthy. The area was so popular in fact, that a bus was created to bring residents from Bond Street to their jobs downtown on Wall Street. The 1857 murder of Dr. Harvey Burdell took place on 31 Bond Street – a famed case where his wife, Emma Cunningham is said to have strangled and stabbed him at least 15 times. Though the case still remains unsolved Emma Cunningham will go down in history as the one suspected of this brutal, and famous murder. Today, Bond Street boasts only a few of its original Greek revival homes strewn in between luxury townhouses and lofts. Despite the seemingly dismal Bond Street economy with more empty store fronts than full, a few delectable restaurants whose menus you'll want to save for a special occasion have weathered the recession.
6 Bond Street – Bondst
Come to Bondst for fresh sushi and refreshing tastes. This NoHo landmark can't be denied its stellar sushi and 10 course tasting menu or its staying power for that matter, but is also known for the hefty price tag and sometimes stuffy atmosphere. If sophisticated sushi is your bag, then Bondst it is. *If you're visiting Florida, check out Bondst on South Beach!
26 Bond Street – The Smile
Uber trendy (maybe too much so for its own good), The Smile delivers American bites reminiscent of a home cooked meal, that is – if your mother was Chef Melia Marden.
Some say The Smile tries too hard to be the low-key hang out it is, but others are content as they hide-out in the corner noshing on dishes that'll make you smile – even if the staff won't smile back.
45 Bond Street – Mercat
It's hard to upstage Il Buco next door, but Mercat holds its own with well thought out Catalan tapas and an 'all Spanish, all the time' mind-set. The transporting white tile of the open kitchen sets the mood, and the tapas complete the experience. Dishes can be on the pricey side, but worth it for a special occasion. *Try the tuna tartar with pork rinds and yucca fries.
47 Bond Street – Il Buco
Il Buco keeps diners coming back for more with its delectable Italian-Spanish fare. It's easy to guarantee that a meal at Il Buco will linger in your thoughts and taste buds for as long as it takes to come back again. *Start with the kale and end with the panna cotta!
55 Bond Street – Hung Ry
Bond Street is one of the only places where Chinese food and organic (at least in NYC), seem the norm. Their tasty hand pulled noodles and pledge for all things local bring a new standard and unconventional twist to the art of hand-pulled noodles. The prices certainly aren't Chinatown, but neither is their mantra.
