RE:11/18 Indian Head
Steve -
How big was the salmon? You can usually tell they've been in salt by the brightness of the scales and the whiteness of the fins. This only works for a little while though, they turn dark after a while in fresh as you probably already know. Salter fish are generally more streamlined and have better body tone than brood raised in tanks - meaning shaped like small war submarines with sharply positioned fins instead of tadpoles. Brood fish have fresh concrete burn on the bottom of their tails. As the fish's stay lengthens, their condition deteriorates and it gets harder to guess their origin.
The meat is another big indicator - unless hatcheries are using commerical farm-raised salmon pellets instead of typical hatchery pellets, the meat will be pale and pasty. Open ocean fed salmon will have the prized red flesh they are known for.
Cool that you caught it though!
Powers -
I won't fink if you won't fink on me! I know there is a hatchery called the Blue something or other on Barnstable Creek, very close to Scortons, that is a private trout hatchery on Cape Cod. The owner's name is Mike. He claims searun brookies nudge up from the bay all the time. He also says the brood he raises came from the brook. It's right down the road from the former location of the Fly Shop of Cape Cod, just southeast of where Barnstable Creek crosses 6A.
So was it a private hatchery dumping trout into the brook???
RE:11/18 Indian Head
Well, if any of you were dying of curiosity about my little blue-browns, the mystery is solved. I talked to Steve Hurley at the DFW.
They're hatchery fish, overstock from the McLaughlin hatchery [anyone know where that is?], and of a strain called "spring creek". There's nothing about that strain to suggest an unusual coloration, Steve assumes it's just a result of the color of the pens or raceways they were kept in. Or perhaps it's a quick acculturation, the Indian Head waters are dark.
The hope in putting those critters in there now is that some of them will acclimate and choose to become sea-runs. I sure do hope so.

RE:11/18 Indian Head
Here's a question for you guys: On Saturday, I caught an Atlantic salmon. At the time I assumed it had simply washed over the dam, since I was fishing a well-known tailwater in Western Mass., but it occured to me today, what if it had indeed made the run upstream from the ocean? How would I know? Are there any ways to tell whether a fish is a true landlock?
RE:11/18 Indian Head
Terry, there's stocking and then there's stocking, at least as near as I can figure. The state will always say "we've put xK catchable brookies and yK catchable browns in these waters...", and there's the official stocking list I referred to above.
On the other hand, they grow trout on farms where they don't know exactly what the harvest will be, and at the end of the growing season they may have too many fish. It costs money to feed fingerlings over the winter and it may play into next year's plans and budgets. I learned this by running into a stocking truck way upstream at Scortons (Jones Ln.) about this time of year, maybe two or three years ago. They put some ungodly number (50K?) of fingerling brookies into the system with some faint hope that they'd live and a more general sense that they had to get rid of them. That was, btw, a really good year for holdover stripers in Scortons. Some of the fingerlings I know didn't acclimate, because I saw them dead a few days later. Many undoubtedly fed winterover stripers. Maybe, though, maybe a couple lived and thrived and returned after a summer at sea. That would be good.
That's why I'm curious about my 4-7" blue browns. (I caught two more today, but I hesitate to post that now that Juro works with me. Never helps to have someone know you're playing hooky.)
Juro: no clue as to water temps. I don't do the stream thermometer thing. Today's two fish were on a muddler and a dry, respectively.
RE:11/18 Indian Head
Mike I'm impressed - dries in this weather!?! Just out of curiosity did you happen to take the water temps?
RE:11/18 Indian Head
Ssully, if wild native moving water brookies exist, I bet they can be taken on dries. Let's fish! The nearest place I know to accomplish that is in Holden, and they're mixed with stocked fish there.
5" native brookies in spawning colors are one of nature's perfect jewels.
I did add another 13" to my trout catching totals with a nice broolie in Mashpee yesterday, but stocked stillwater and woolly bugger.
RE:11/18 Indian Head
Juro, You mentioned that you fished Indian Head during the Coho Salmon days, so did I. I have video showing the State of Mass seining Coho's in the pool below the dam, very interesting. Did you ever fish the Lampery River in southern NH? That was another Coho fishery here in the northeast. nI use to fish it with Bob Harris, the outdoor writer from Goffstown NH. A very good fisherman.
RE:11/18 Indian Head
"No moving water is on the state's fall stocking list, and the smallness had me hoping that this was a wild somethingorother."
If you read the stocking list carefully you will see that some rivers do receive fall stockings. As second hand information selected rivers were recently stocked with a mix of 16" rainbows and 8" browns.
If you are ever interested I can show you a place or two in the fall that will produce some fine looking 4-5" brookies. Meeting your a, b & d criteria.
RE:11/18 Indian Head
I believe the rule is "red spots == browns unless there are also blue spots == brookies" according to sea run rules, where the usual colors are missing from silver bright ocean trout. I'll have to check that but in Europe where the concern is atlantic smolt and grilse vs. salt browns, the rule is simply "red spots == brown".
My guess is that you caught a small sea run brown.
Were the fins wrinkled on top or worn on the concrete side of the tail?
BTW - I wish the source of the Indian Head had lower temps thru the season, it would be a searun factory! I fished it pretty hard in the coho salmon days.
11/18 Indian Head
Last week there was a lot of surface activity, small dimples, and I didn't hook anything. Had a couple of whacks at a dry fly by things too small to get a #16 Adams in their mouths. But mixed in were some decidedly larger swirls.
A couple of nights ago I got there at sunset and saw some boils but couldn't get rigged up in time to still be able to see a fly on the darkening water.
Some of you are aware that I'm a man of quirky prejudices. When it comes to trout, they should be (a) native, (b) wild, (c) taken on dry flies, and (d) on moving water. Soon enough I'll get to dredging woolly buggers through ponds, but I needed to get at least some of my criteria met before moving on.
This morning I thought dawn was too cold and windy to justify getting out of bed, so I didn't hit the Indian Head until about 8. A duck hunter asked me what fish were in there, because at dawn there were fish rising everywhere. [Insert harshest expletive that Juro allows on this board here]. I did spook some fish, saw some rises, heard some splashes, and finally hooked and landed a 7" trout on a too large elk hair caddis, satisfying (c) and (d) above.
No moving water is on the state's fall stocking list, and the smallness had me hoping that this was a wild somethingorother. I was puzzled by the trout itself, because its color was more blue than anything else. Its spots were black (ruling out brookies, the true native, because all char have spots lighter than their backgrounds), and it had several red spots along its lateral line, but it had none of the brown or gold or yellow I've seen on brown trout.
So I asked Bill Bois at North River Bait and Tackle and he said that the state had indeed put a bunch of small factory fish in there recently and he guessed that hatchery trout might just have some funky coloration.
I know this is a big word count for 7" of fish, but heck, it's November and that's 7" more than I had so far. [All this changes with tomorrow's success, of course].

Family: Talpidae, Moles view all from this family
Description Tail is longer and less hairy than other moles in its range. Foretoes have webbing between them, hence the name aquaticus. Although they can swim, they are not aquatic. Three upper and lower premolars on each side. No external ears, and the eyes are completely covered with skin. Northern animals are larger and dark colored; southern animals are golden or silvery colored. Males tend to be larger than females in all areas.
Dimensions 103-208mm, 16-38mm, 40-140g; / 129-168mm, 20-28mm, 32-90g
Habitat Cities, suburbs & towns, Meadows & fields, Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Grasslands & prairies, Forests & woodlands
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Florida, Texas
Discussion Active year-round, and feeds on a variety of invertebrates including earthworms and ant larvae. About 99% of their time is spent underground, in tunnels and associated chambers. Construction of roads and golf courses has provided quality soils and increased moisture, allowing spread of Eastern Moles in some areas. Both surface and deeper tunnels are constructed in moist, loamy soils throughout eastern North America.

I've already expressed my disappointment in the Academy for not giving Beginners the attention it deserves, so I'll put my soapbox away for now.
However I do have one word, one film and an amazing performance in particular for which McGregor absolutely should have been nominated: Trainspotting. 'Nuff said.
With his second film ever being Terms of Endearment, Daniels was off to a good start.
Two films in particular where he did receive nominations for various other awards but not for the Oscar although he really should have: The Purple Rose of Cairo and The Squid and the Whale. In the latter, his overuse of the word "Philistine" should have won him at least something.
If you've never seen Ordinary People, then you're missing out. Sutherland's performance is heart-wrenching as a father who's trying to deal with not only the death of one son, but the depression and suicide attempt of another.
Both the film's director, Robert Redford (it's his directorial debut) and co-star Timothy Hutton (he plays the suicidal son) were nominated for Oscars and won. Sutherland was clearly snubbed that year. It was also yet another year that Scorsese lost the Oscar (to Redford) after having been nominated for Raging Bull.
Other films where Sutherland killed it and was ignored: JFK and Cold Mountain.
I've already expressed my disappointment in the Academy for not giving Beginners the attention it deserves, so I'll put my soapbox away for now.

As one of the frequent actors who pops up in Coen brothers films and has given an excellent performance every time, it's surprising that Goodman has never received an Oscar nomination for any of them.
This year he finds himself in the Oscar nominated film, The Artist, however again, he is not a contender. But films where he really should have been considered: The Big Lebowski and Barton Fink.
The simple fact that Sheen wasn't nominated for his performance in Apocalypse Now is one of life's great mysteries.
Although one of her most famous roles is that of teenager Stacey Hamilton who gets knocked up in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Leigh has gone on to make a career of playing troubled, dark characters, some of which should not have been overlooked.
Roles that should have landed Leigh recognition for her performance include the films Single White Female, Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle and Margot at the Wedding.
Someone get this girl a nomination the next time she plays a worthy badass character, please?
It's shocking Farrow has never been nominated for an Oscar especially for Rosemary's Baby. It's not easy to play a character who spawns the devil.
Other films where Farrow shined and should have been nominated: The Great Gatsby, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Hannah and Her Sisters and John and Mary.
While his film Chicago cleaned up at almost all of the award ceremonies that year, Gere wasn't even nominated for his portrayal of Billy Flynn. WTF?
Another movie where he should have been considered: An Officer and A Gentleman. That one is a real tearjerker.
The dude played Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs and didn't get a nomination? Um, OK. He was also ignored for his stellar performances in Fargo and Ghost World. Not cool.
I did mention he was Mr. Pink, right?
Although Lloyd Dobler will always be a sort of ideal in the hearts of us kids who grew up in the 80's and all the generations that will follow, I'm in no way suggesting Cusack should have been nominated for that role in particular (although it was so great and I love it endlessly.)
However, being overlooked for High Fidelity and Being John Malkovich is pretty fucked up.

Bonhams has established the reputation as a pre-eminent source for Native American works of art, attracting competitive international bidding and achieving strong prices across all categories. Bonhams is a leader in the auctions of American Indian art, including Southwest weavings and jewellery, baskets, beadwork, pottery, Northwest Coast and Eskimo art and artefacts. Record prices obtained at auction include $480,250 for a Pueblo manta (woman's shoulder blanket), $337,250 for an Acoma pottery storage jar, and $482,000 paid for a Tsimshian dagger from the Northwest Coast.
The department head has been in the position since 1983 and has built an international network of collectors, dealers and museum professionals during that time. The semiannual major auctions are complimented by a once-a-year Art and Artefacts of the Americas sale that includes both Native American and pre-Columbian material.

PA Speakers
Some CB radios have a PA out feature that allows you to connect a PA speaker to communicate with people outside your vehicle. This is one-way communication (they can't answer you through your radio), but it can be helpful in some situations. We have a variety of PA speakers for your CB in different shapes and sizes. The 5 inch speakers are the size most commonly used for CB. It is important to note that unless a speaker's description specifically states that the wire and plug are included with the speaker, they probably aren't. For these we carry a PA speaker wire.

The incidence of diabetes continues to grow at an alarming rate. Some of the most concerning growth is occurring with young people under 25 in each of the seven regions. Over 50% of the world's population is under 30, yet with only 5% of people with diabetes being under the age of 30, the needs of young people with diabetes can often be forgotten and that's why it's vital for them to have a voice within the IDF and their member.
Debbie Jones, past Chair of the Young Leaders in Diabetes Programme: "The IDF Young Leaders in Diabetes Programme went from a dream to a reality in Dubai 2011, where 70 young people with diabetes from around the world came together for Leadership Training and to attend the World Diabetes Congress. Since Dubai, these Young Leaders have continued to work together with their Member and have achieved the impossible. Their projects are testament to the hard work and commitment they have shown to the global diabetes community as well as locally. They are an inspiration to all who meet them and I am both honored and privileged to have had this opportunity of working alongside them."
To improve the lives of young people affected by diabetes worldwide.
The Young Leaders in Diabetes programme is the key driver in enhancing the lives of young people living with diabetes. The Young Leaders are committed to raising awareness of diabetes by being a powerful voice for prevention, education, access to quality care, improved quality of life, and the end of discrimination worldwide. The YLD programme supports the International Diabetes Federation in reaching its strategic plans.
The YLD programmes aims to reach the following goals:
1. Be a voice for young people affected by diabetes worldwide.
2. Identify and support the development of Young Leaders in the international diabetes community.
3. Empower and educate Young Leaders to support the mission of YLD and IDF by strengthening the IDF member.

Seems like everyone else at GUADEC is doing diary entries, so I decided to follow the fashion.
It's been utterly cool seeing all these hordes of Gnome hackers in person. In general, all the people are really cool, though some cultural differences are a bit more easily noticeable IRL than just via electronic communication. Nothing major, though, everyone is coming along just fine.
I am just a bit disappointed by the presence, or rather the lack thereof, of some key Gimp people here. Thankfully, tigert is more than making up for it by hacking icons all the time. He's attracting lots of spectators and one couldn't really hope for a better promoter of Gimp.
Along with tigert, the most popular person around here has probably been raph. Everybody wants to talk with him about all kinds of cool stuff, so it's been pretty much impossible trying to just have a little chat with him. Ahwell.
Hmm. The organizers just came here and said they're going to shut down these machines. Got to quit for now.

Management Culture
Over the course of some odd years now, and in my own dealings I never really understood management. I mean, you always have a boss. Whether it be the board of trustees, share holders, your lawyer, the IRS, your husband/wife, Mom, squad leader, customers or some such. Inevitably you're always answering to someone for the decisions that you make on a daily basis and in that way I've always understood it. However to the extent that one has a boss that tells them to do xyz I never understood until now. It just simply never made sense to me.
I was always under the guise that one applied for a job and with that job came duties. So long as those duties were done, one was free to go about their business in whatever manner they felt necessary. This is how I've always operated, in almost all regard, feel free to ask any of my umpteen bosses. There may come a time where things change and so does the job and/or one moves to fit their needs of career growth or whatever one needs at the time. This always made perfect sense to me and in practice, this works. Trust me, I have learned, it simply works well when you hire the right people for the job. Unfortunately, I have seen many a person as of late take the context of management and put such a nasty and unhealthy spin on it that it's as if I am almost watching some episode of reality tv. Expecting someone to pop-out at the end and say, "GOT YA!"
On recollection of my peers, friends, colleagues and how they used to ramble on about how horrible their job was I simply could not believe it. This has nothing to do with politics, passive aggressiveness, water cooler talk, all of that even in my own situations it was never really that bad. In the most sincerest form I always thought there were bits of embellishment in order to paint an entertaining picture. Now, that I'm in a different position and have almost a complete 360-degree view of the situation I can say there is a definite tone-deafness i've noticed through-out my career. Sadly this odd behavior is within my own ranks and sans any response from legal by the end of this I feel the need to speak on it, obviously no particulars.
I'm not sure what MBA's are learning in school right now, as I don't have an MBA myself and don't actually have any need for one, don't plan on getting one and think it's a worthless degree. Before the hate, please, I have several MBA degree family members. However, when it comes to managing people, persons who are hired to do a job there is an art that I feel has been lost. Part of this is just common courtesy. The whole, treat people as you'd like to be treated bit and the other part of this at its most basic form happens to be manners. An employee of a company needs to feel empowered to do their job in a way that is conducive to the overall productivity of the company which is respectful towards not just the job, but the company as a whole. This is called, good business. It promotes a positive energy and allows open door policies to work, it also quells incessant water cooler talk and allows for honest and open fighting about work. A good fight over work promotes ideas and healthy competition it also helps to cycle out poison. I particularly love a good heated argument every now and then over a problem, it shows passion and without passion, you have nothing. Probably get into some sort of heated discussion at least once a week, good for the blood pressure.
Anything opposite of this and that is called, bad business. When business is bad, it's bad for everyone and when it's bad for everyone it's bad for the bottom line and culture. As such, we wouldn't go into business to see bad bottom lines so reorganization is necessary and it involves placing the blame on poor management. Management is not about shoveling work to someone, or sitting on their shoulder to make sure they do it, or telling them how to do what it is you hired them to do. For myself, proper management has always involved letting the person you hired for the job... Do the job. Seeing strengths and making synergies that allow for delivery of product. Whatever they need to do the job, is what the role "management" calls for. Sometimes this is easy, sometimes it is not, especially if you feel the job isn't being done adequately or to your liking. Sometimes you have people problems (trust me, I have had these in such a way you would not believe). Sometimes the person just isn't the right cultural fit. Sometimes you have strong urges to meddle, or try to pitch in where you don't understand the underlying problem, but think you do. It is best to refrain at these points and leave it to the person you hired, to do it. If it's not getting done, that's a different yarn-ball. One can't fix everything and it is at that point, you respectfully let the person go with no hard feelings if it can be avoided.
If you're at the top of the food chain, sometimes it requires taking the pulse of your core and making sure it's protected from any bad business. The day-in, day-out core of your organization, company, squad, team or etc needs protecting and you should remove or polarize correctly those who practice any form of bad business. This is an old learned lesson presenting itself anew to me within these last couple of weeks and I plan to go ahead and do just that. Lets get back to the core tenets of good business, courtesy and respect for our peers, colleagues, employees and even at the end of the day our enemies.
Nooooo response but then again it's 11:53pm est... politely, fuck legal, this is my personal blog, had it way before anything else and I'm sure i've used much more explicit profanity laced delivery around these parts.. Posting.

Clay cashes in
As he stood at the center of the enormous G in the carpeting Wednesday afternoon, Clay Matthews said it wasn't his idea to hold his post-contract extension news conference inside the Green Bay Packers' locker room. So if there was any intentional symbolism, it wasn't the work of the Packers' new $66 million man.
"I just go where they tell me to go," the four-time Pro Bowl linebacker said with a smirk, not long after signing a five-year, $66 million extension that includes a reported $31 million in guaranteed money (per ESPN's Adam Schefter) and will keep Matthews with the Packers through the 2018 season. "We can go to the podium if you want."
No, no – having Matthews in the locker room was the perfect place.
Across the room, next to the recently sealed-off entrance to what used to be the auxiliary locker room, sat the empty locker that had belonged to Charles Woodson for the past seven years. On Wednesday, the name plate simply read PACKERS. With Woodson having been released on Feb. 15 – and a new construction project having moved what is affectionately known as the "Green Mile" to the area where the players' lounge had been – the Packers locker room isn't the same place it was when the players packed up their belongings following the team's Jan. 12 NFC Divisional Playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
That game was a flat-out embarrassment for the Packers defense, which gave up an astronomical 579 yards of offense (fourth most in a playoff game in NFL history), watched quarterback Colin Kaepernick run for an astonishing 181 yards (most in a single game by a quarterback – ever) and essentially undid all it accomplished as a unit during the regular season, when the defense bounced back from a horrendous 2011 season to regain respectability.
And so, with a new megabucks contract and the expectations of being the defense's undisputed No. 1 playmaker, the 26-year-old Matthews knows he must step up his leadership in the locker room on a team that is constantly undergoing a youth movement.
"With the loss to some of those key defensive players, especially with Charles on the defensive side and with them putting a new contract in place for me, it definitely shows their belief in me in being a leader and kind of a stalwart in this defense," Matthews said. "I'm looking forward to the opportunity. I've continued to lead through my short time here and I look to continue that leadership position. Who knows what that entails, but I'm looking forward to it.
"It's funny, because not a whole lot has changed. I'm happy about it but for me, it's nice, it's very humbling and it's a blessing, but it's business as usual for me. I'm glad that they have put their trust in me and belief in me in awarding me this, but at the same time you're going to get the same type of unwavering perseverance on the field and dedication that I'm going to bring day in and day out. I feel good, but not much has changed."
Matthews was entering the final year of his rookie deal, which he signed as the 26th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft out of Southern California. He has registered 42.5 sacks in his first four NFL seasons, and he was set to earn $3.73 million in base salary this year. Matthews was originally scheduled for a $1.492 million base salary in 2013 but hit various escalators that raised his pay. The new deal adds five years onto the existing year.
Even with the four games he missed with a hamstring injury, Matthews finished fourth in the NFL in sacks (13.0) in regular-season play and added three more in the playoffs. The Packers managed to go 3-1 in the four games he missed, but it was clear that they were a different defense with him on the field.
Still, Matthews admitted that he has plenty of room for improvement. In the playoff loss to the 49ers, for example, he was essentially a non-factor, although he was credited with one sack and seven tackles in the Packers' 45-31 loss.
"I'm starting to get to the prime of my career," Matthews said. "You know, I wasn't a pass-rusher at SC, so I'm still developing. … The numbers, I'm going to continue to put them up, I'm going to continue to lead this defense, and you're going to continue to get the same type of player that you have seen, if not better each year."
And how good could Matthews be? While his position coach, Kevin Greene, was not available to reporters Wednesday, he once said that Matthews was a better player than he was – a strong statement considering Greene holds the NFL record for sacks by a linebacker (160) and has been a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame twice.
"Clay has a set of skills that I didn't have," Greene said. "He has another gear that I didn't have. He has an explosive power. I could cover efficiently. He can cover great. He's very athletic. Not only does he bring the power rush to the table that I used to have, I used to have some nice speed around the corner, but he has that and another gear. And he covers with the best of 'em. I could cover efficiently, but I wasn't glorious at it. I don't think I ever wounded us in coverage, whereas he's a star at it.
"He's better than Kevin Greene was. He's going to be a great one. He's got a skill set that I have not yet seen in an outside linebacker in a 3-4, and there were a lot of good ones when I played in the league. He's got something that I haven't seen yet."
For his part, Matthews said he never was interested in playing out the final year of his contract and testing the free-agent waters. He also shrugged off the suggestion that the deal – with a per-year average that surpasses Dallas Cowboys outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware for the title of highest-paid linebacker in the NFL – means all that much beyond financial security and not having to worry about negotiations any more.
"The contract aside, I play this game for a lot more than just money," Matthews said. "As far as everything I want to accomplish, it has to do with winning ball games and setting records and making an impact. So you're going to get the same Clay that you've seen for these past four years."
Matthews said he had participated in the first two days of the offseason program, which kicked off Monday. He suggested that there was never a discussion about holding out in hopes of getting a new deal sooner rather than later.
"Selfishly, I wanted to get this deal done probably earlier than we were able to. But I like this organization, the fans, the city, everything," Matthews said. "They've given me all the resources and opportunities, from the medical staff to the people upstairs to the janitors to the cooks. It's been fantastic. So this is all I know, and it's success, and I'd like to stay here for the foreseeable future."
Matthews sounded genuine when he spoke Wednesday about how much the Packers have come to mean to him, considering what was at the time a somewhat risky move by general manager Ted Thompson to draft him. The Packers traded their second-round pick (No. 41) and a pair of third-round picks (No. 73 and No. 83, which they'd gotten from the New York Jets for Brett Favre) to the New England Patriots in order to take Matthews, whose lone productive college season had been as a senior.
"Obviously with the belief they have in me, giving up so many draft picks right around the Brett Favre trade, and then drafting an (unproven) guy in college … I'm fortunate," Matthews said. "And that's a big reason why you guys are here right now and I'm here right now. I love what this team is doing, I love the direction we're going and what we've been able to accomplish – the numerous team accolades, including a Super Bowl, that we've been able to achieve. I'm looking forward for the next six years."

WOODWARDs WeSearch
Purpose: To disseminate data (such as compiled indexes, biographies, queries, repository notes, etc.) as well as commentaries on methodology
In order to help protect the privacy of living individuals, personal information, e.g., vital records, residence, etc., are not published on this site. Any information concerning the living is provided only with their permission.
Focus and outreach: Individuals researching Woodwards and Woodards (including spelling variations) throughout the United States.
WOODWARDs WeSearch was established in 1991 and published as a quarterly newsletter from October 1991 through April 2004 (nearly twelve years). The format has transformed with the times and has developed in this Web site which is inactative and is easily located (we hope).
My earliest known Woodward ancestors are Stephen and Hannah (Clement) Woodward located in the area of Haverhill in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and Plaistow in the Province of New Hampshire. Stephen may be a descendant of Nathaniel Woodward via his son Ezekiel as several printed Woodward genealogies indicate. However, there are a couple of doubtful connections which I am striving to verify or disprove.
I am confident that the generations distribued in this "draft" are correct, and welcome comments. For years I've been intending to place the work which I've done on their descendants Online, but, I never reach the point where I'm satisfied with the work. The 9th of July 2006 was a "red letter day." I realized that it unlikely I'll ever reach the point where I am completely satisfied with my research on this Woodward family. Hence a DRAFT account of the first six generations of the couple's descendants Online. The draft will be updated from time to time, as I analyze the records which I have located and as I find new material. The search never ends.

Ok.. lets talk about food. I love to try new stuff on camp outs, like I have said in posts before, meals and food occupy a large amount of time on outings. And since I am a Do as I Do kind of leader, I figure the more creative or at least having a variety out there, the Scouts will see these meal options and eventually try them.
What has happened is that many of the Scouts have taken a liking to expanding their meal options. Looking into different ways to prepare pastas, rice options with different meats and yes even veggies.
Since we have a "No Ramen Alone" rule, noodles with extras have increased ways in which our Scouts prepare and eat also.
Prepared meals of the freeze dried or dehydrated variety have also made its way into the packs of our troop, and once again there are many options there also.
I have given many of them a try and some are better than others in my opinion.
Of course every one is familiar with Mountain House and the wide variety it has made available to the backpacking community. Now since this is a Blog and only my opinion here, Mountain House is my least favorite of the dehydrated options. they have a nice selection, are easy to prepare and when cooking for small groups (2 or 3) they are a great choice. I do think that they are a bit spendy at about $8 a meal on average. Some are cheaper than others, while the Beef stew (4 serving) will cost you around $10. This can get spendy and if buying Mountain House I would suggest buying it in bulk. Costco sells it on occasion by the case.
Another option in the dehydrated/freeze dried category is The Backpackers Pantry. Again, some really nice menu items and again, a bit spendy. I do like the "Complete Meal Packages" for 4 that they offer. The price for feeding 4 is pretty good for what you get. The packaging is good and the preparation is easy.
Alpine Aire Foods is yet another option in prepared meals. They are in about the same price range, and they have some nice menu options, but I have to be honest, I did not find them the best when it came to taste, and to me.. well, why eat it if it's not good. The Beef Rotini was hearty, but I was not crazy about the pasta.
Hungry Hikers is a company that is local to me. They have some good meals that are very tasty . Not a huge selection, but enough to give you a variety. The biggest drawback to Hungry Hikers is the price. Very spendy for what you get. When you are providing this as an option for your Scouts, make sure they sell lots of Popcorn to afford these marvelous meals. The Chicken Pot pie is my favorite. I like their stuff, I just don't like the price.
I will not talk about M.R.E.'s. they are novel to kids and some "Wilderness guru's" think they are cool, but they are heavy and while you may get them at a surplus store on the cheap.. you get what you pay for.
My favorite dehydrated meals to date are from the Packet Gourmet. The food is really good tasting, easy to prepare and pack. Not to spendy and they give Scouts a 15% discount when you sign your unit up for a discount code. When talking price, I found them to be the most reasonable. The discount code costs nothing and it is easy to use. They ship the product real quick and have nice customer service. I highly recommend the Packet Gourmet. They even give away meals to get you hooked. Check them out. I even tried one of their desserts.. YUMMY!
Finally, there is always the "Do it Yourself" option. As I write this post I am dehydrating spaghetti with meat and sauce. It was left over from dinner tonight, so I figured why toss it in the disposal when I can toss in the dehydrator. I will make about 3 good servings and costs almost nothing to make. Investing in a Nesco dehydrator (around $75) is a great way to expand your meal options on the trail.
Full meals, snacks, and trail seasonings, and more are easy to make.
I hope this gives you a few more options to discuss with your Scouts. They can eat real well on the trail without Ramen.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Need a quick answer to a relationship dilemma? Relationship expert Dr. Gilda Carle cuts through the fluff with her relationship advice in TODAY.com's "30-second therapist" series.
Q: My live-in girlfriend ended our relationship, but she has asked me to be friends and not move out. I am in love with her, and am having a hard time letting go. I asked her if we can try to be friends if I do move out. She said no, because she can't afford the house without me. What do I do? —Stuck
Dear Stuck,
So your ex wants you as a "friend" with financial benefits? Excuse me, but what would the benefits of that arrangement be for you? Ex-lovers can never be "friends" right after a breakup because of the errant emotions still hanging loose.
If she can't afford the house without you, let her find another roommate. She knows how you feel about her, but, as Jo Dee Messina sings, her "give a damn's busted." My Gilda-Gramdirects, "Seek respect before love." Girlfriend wants you in her space, but not in her heart. Oh, really? "Selfish user" is what comes to my mind! Move out, move on, and move up to someone who cares. —Dr. Gilda
More about relationships
Q: I'm a single mother of a 3-year-old. I have been dating this guy (father of two) for more than a year and we're still happy together. We have a lot of similar interests, but the major difference is our level of education. I have a master's and he is a secondary school drop-out. Nevertheless, there is mutual understanding between us.
Recently, I met someone I dated in the past at college. He is a great guy, as well. He loves my daughter and now wants us to continue where we left off. With him, I feel more secure as far as the future is concerned, since we both have the same level of education. He is more stable financially, and could guide my daughter (and later, our children) to a brighter future. The major difference between these two men is their level of education. And this, of course, affects their principles in life, as well as their decision-making. Should I risk my relationship and start afresh with the new guy with whom I feel more secure about the future, or should I go on with my current relationship, where I am already emotionally stable, but more financially insecure about the future? —Totally Confused
Dear Totally Confused,
The answer to your dilemma lies in what you really want. You've already spent a year with boyfriend No. 1, and, surprise, surprise, you're "still happy together." So the discrepancy in education has not created the intellectual chasm you fear, or problems in "principles in life" or "decision-making." Your internal argument that a college education guarantees a rosy future is specious. During these hard times, many blue collar workers are doing better than those with disengagement rings around their white collars.
Clearly, the guy who treats you best through sick and sin is the only guy you want. And that has nothing to do with his wallet! —Dr. Gilda

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal Jackson Bureau
State Sen. Hob Bryan, D-Amory, was one of the primary authors of the Mississippi Adequate Program in 1997 and an advocate on many other public education issues through the years. Bryan answered questions from the Daily Journal's Bobby Harrison about education issues in the 2013 legislation session, which begins in January.
Q. Many leaders say they want the focus of the 2013 session to be education, specifically such issues as charter schools and accountability. How do you think education should be approached during the 2013 session?
A. By definition, charter schools take certain children out of the existing public schools, leaving others behind. If charter school children create problems, they are returned to the public school. We don't need to establish a dual system of public schools. Some states have charter schools run by an organization from Turkey. That's troubling.
I support any reasonable proposal for flexibility at any school district. Some educators propose longer school days, longer school years, and different methods of teaching and testing. I'm willing – and I think most legislators are willing – to allow any school district as much flexibility as it needs.
Q. Many leaders also are talking about possibly changing the MAEP. Do you see any need for changes?
A. For years, the Legislature has failed to fund the Mississippi Adequate Education Program. Unfortunately, former Gov. Haley Barbour fought education funding his entire time in office. As a result, school districts have inadequate funds, the state has hundreds fewer teachers than it needs and students have suffered.
The first step is to follow the law and fund the program. The proposal to reach full funding in two years has merit, and I support it.
I hear that some legislators want to change the formula to reduce the amount of state funds used to support our public schools. I don't know what they are up to, and I'm greatly concerned.
Q. What is your view of the state of education in Mississippi? Has it improved or regressed in recent years and are there any issues that should be dealt with that we are not addressing?
A. Students need to learn basic facts, and they need to learn to think and reason. It's difficult to teach critical thinking skills, but it's essential to do so. Computers and the Internet provide additional options, and we need to use them. However, we can't expect to educate children unless we can attract, retain and empower good teachers.


text: Pippa Middleton is one of those rare famous-by-association celebrities who attracts a minimum of ire from the general public. Maybe it's because she doesn't seem to be trying too hard to get our attention. Maybe it's because she seems to agree that all the attention being paid to her (and her nice but relatively normal-looking backside) is a bit silly, but she will play along and smile for the camera nonetheless because it seems to make people happy. In any case, she's turning 28 today, so I've assembled some nice photos of her (and her butt) wearing various outfits and having various types of fun. Happy birthday to you, and your little bum, too.

News Releases, Media Advisories
|For Immediate Release

WASHINGTON -- The Federal Election Commission has rendered final approval of new Voting System Standards, culminating a three-year effort by the FEC, its Office of Election Administration, state election officials and administrators, and voting machine vendors throughout the nation. The Standards seek to ensure that election equipment certified for purchase by participating states will be accurate, reliable, and dependable.
The finalized Standards were presented recently to the Commissions Advisory Panel on Election Administration, holding its annual meeting in Denver. In a statement accompanying the Standards, FEC Vice Chairman Karl Sandstrom wrote "The Voting Systems Standards are the product of a state and federal partnership that reflects a commitment on the part of all involved to ensuring that systems used in elections across the country are accurate and reliable. Without the contributions and cooperation by state and local officials, this project could not have succeeded."
Drafts of the Standards document have been issued for comment twice, generating significant input from a variety of interests including vendors, election officials, academics, technical experts, special interest advocacy groups, and the public at large.
In addition, the FEC held a public hearing on the Standards April 17 during which a number of election officials and others offered testimony. Many sections of the Standards have been revised to reflect issues raised by these comments.
The revised Standards provide new or expanded coverage of a number of functional and technical capabilities including election management, feedback to voters, accessibility, audit trails, telecommunications, and broadcasting of unofficial election results. Elements and descriptions of testing procedures for election systems were also revised.
The complete Standards are available on the FEC website at http://www.fec.gov/pages/vssfinal/vss.html.

If Obama ordered the military to "secure our personnel," as he claims he did in Denver on Oct.26th ....where is the order?
In a statement bordering on the Kafkaesque, Leon Panetta told a news conference Thursday that four Americans, including our Libyan ambassador Chris Stevens, were left to die without a rescue attempt by nearby U.S. military forces because there's "a basic principle here, and the basic principle is that you don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's going on, without having some real-time information about what's taking place."

I bet the president as talking about reviewing consulate security and tightening up at other locations.
UPDATE: On Sunday October 28 I received the following communique from Pentagon Press Secretary George Little:
"The insinuations in your story are flat wrong. General Ham is an outstanding leader of AFRICOM. Future leadership changes at this important command have absolutely nothing to do with the attack on American personnel in Benghazi. The leadership changes have been long planned."
Of course I never suggested that General Ham was anything other than an outstanding leader of AFRICOM and in fact said as much. But why is an outstanding leader of this important command leaving after less than two years when all other combatant commanders have longer tenures? General Ham's predecessor stayed in the job much longer and was generally less well regarded. Further discussion of these issues may help begin to restore the administration's credibility on the Benghazi issue.
UPDATE 2: On Monday October 29 General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, released the following statement:
"The speculation that General Carter Ham is departing Africa Command (AFRICOM) due to events in Benghazi, Libya on 11 September 2012 is absolutely false. General Ham's departure is part of routine succession planning that has been on going since July. He continues to serve in AFRICOM with my complete confidence."
UPDATE 2: On Monday October 29 General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, released the following statement:
"The speculation that General Carter Ham is departing Africa Command (AFRICOM) due to events in Benghazi, Libya on 11 September 2012 is absolutely false. General Ham's departure is part of routine succession planning that has been on going since July. He continues to serve in AFRICOM with my complete confidence."
Of COURSE the White House denies it
Interesting Rumor Concerning General Carter Ham and Stand Down Order I'm getting sick just finding out everything that was going on behind the scenes of this and how it's not being talked about. I literally want to vomit thinking that we left American heroes to die when we had many avenues of support and assets that could have been utilized.
Gen Ham change of command will be april 2013...that's a little more than 2 years in command and on par with what combatant commanders will serve. The last 3 PACOM served about 2 years...
Update: Here's General Ham on Oct 24 speaking to ROTC cadets in Washington: http://www.africom.mil/getArti... - it would be interesting to find out when General Ham arrived in Washington and when he is going back to his command. Needless to say, as long as he is absent from his command, it's his deputy who is in actual day-to-day control. They do not have to publicly relieve him, all they really have to do is put him on a plane and get him out of theater for a few hours the night of Sep 11 so his deputy is in actual control of AFRICOM assets. He strikes me as a smart cookie - if there is any truth to this story, he's relying on folks like us to ask questions and out the truth.
You are correct but the question still remains is he still running AfriCon daily or is he in the US. The linked blog and especially the comments below the blog are interesting.
All of this looks fishy to you because, as I intimated to a poster yesterday, you don't even know what the frick you're looking at. You have no basis for comparison. How can something look unusual if you don't know what's usual?
I have received dozens of emails in the last few days claiming that General Ham was fired for trying to go ahead with a rescue operation. The story appeared in the Washington Times. The source for the Times' story was an anonymous comment on Tiger Droppings, a forum for LSU football fans, from someone in Louisiana working in "Self Employed/Restaurants/Catering" who claimed that the story came "from someone inside the military".
Now for all I know this story is true, but an anonymous comment on a football fan forum is not enough to run with a major story. It's certainly not enough to start treating it as an established fact.
That comment has gone beyond the Washington Times and is being sourced in various outlets all of whom are reporting a story based on an anonymous comment on an internet forum.
Navytiger74, you are right, I do not know what I am looking at. I do not have a basis for comparison. That is why I listed this as a rumor from the beginning. I am really shocked that this post has been picked up like it did. I thought we would discuss it for part of a day in here and it would be forgotten.
I do respect your opinion on this and know you have better insight than me to what is going on. But I will say that through my business I have some good contacts in the military. I feed these guys on a regular basis and they like to talk. Sure, most of it needs to be taken with a grain of salt but it does make good subject matter. So I took their info and posted it for our discussion.
What is interesting to me is the amount of military people that have a different view of his retirement than you. Some of their thoughts are in the link in one of my more recent posts. I do not know what this guys qualifications are but he too has a different take than you.
And with all do respect, you are as anonymous to me as they are. That does not mean I think you are wrong on this. I just do not know. I find this story interesting and will watch to see how it plays out.

Throughout the recruiting process he racked up more than 40 offers from coast-to-coast, making the decision a tough one, but LSU has been the favorite since the five-star's early stages.
"First I'd like to sincerely thank all the coaches, fans and everyone throughout the country who has supported me through this process," Paris began as he explained his decision to a national social media audience.
"It has been a long and hard decision to make as the schools I visited showed me much love and support as it relates to me growing personally."
After much deliberation, prayer & support from my parents I am committing to.......... LSU fans turn up!"
As a junior, Paris racked up 37 tackles, seven interceptions (two returned for touchdowns), broke up 12 passes, forced three fumbles and recovered three fumbles to earn Scout.com All-Midlands, First Team All-District and First Team All-State honors.
Paris, who has expressed in an interest in studying Engineering in college, will not have a problem moving away from Texas and playing his college ball in Louisiana.
"I don't mind moving at all," Paris informed Scout.com.
He will be bringing a high level of phsyicality and confidence to the Tigers' defense.
"It's my speed," Paris began when asked what sets him apart as an elite level defender. "I am very, very, very physical off the line. They are not getting off the line basically, and every ball that is thrown my way is getting intercepted."
Paris is currently rated as a four-star prospect by Scout.com, the No. 4 cornerback nationally.

Grandparents Day is just around the corner (September 9th, to be exact), so in honor of Grammy, Pop-pop, Nana, Grampy and Mee-maw, here are our favorite gifts for the people who always seem to have an abundance of affection and baked goods ready when you arrive.
- For the Senior Socialite
Bridge night. Cocktails at the Elk's Lodge. Your birthday. For the grandparents with the oh so active social calendar, a personalized 2013 agenda is a perfect gift. Pencil in dinner reservations at their favorite restaurant — which you made ahead of time, of course — for an extra hug.
The grandchildren are always welcome — when Grammy and Pop-pop aren't attending a social at the club or squeezing in 18 before Sunday brunch. They're always in the market for a few good friends, and so calling cards would be a wonderfully welcome gift.
- For the Savvy Sentimental
Nana's house gives the National Gallery a run for its money when it comes to framed images in one space. While you can't get enough of her peach pie, she can't get enough of photos of you. Pick a favorite and place it a handsome glass frame, like this one from Simon Pearce.
Nan and Pa loved the photo of the twins waterskiing you emailed them. Memories are so much more, well, memorable when they're not in a desktop folder. The coffee table is where they should be, and we like to think a lovely photo album in a bright hue is the perfect way to present them.
- For the Constant Corresponder
Friends, family, the mail carrier, the hairdresser, the golf pro. Granny and Poppy are quite the gracious duo (a trait you're thankful was handed down), which is why a new box of personalized stationery is always the perfect present.
Birthdays. Holidays. Graduations. Weddings. Babies. Grandparents take pen to paper quite often (and we're so happy they do). Give them the gift of great ink in the form of their new favorite pen.
Need more gift ideas? Email our Crane Concierge at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Well, we do have that luxury. And though I don't have the space to hip you to every great local band, I had no trouble finding 10. These aren't the biggest local bands, and the list by no means covers the entire local music scene. I could just as easily have filled it with hip-hop artists, jazz players, singer-songwriters, or metalcorists. So I stuck to rock bands who have been around long enough to have solid followings and who are starting to headline clubs on both sides of the river, from T.T. the Bear's and the Middle East, to Great Scott and Bill's Bar.
Aberdeen City | I'd say this foursome were Boston's answer to Death Cab for Cutie if the last Death Cab album had been any good. But Aberdeen City have enough in the way of atmospheric guitar melodies to have lured Steve Lillywhite, the guy who produced U2, Psychedelic Furs, Simple Minds, and XTC in the '80s, out to re-record two tracks for the Columbia re-release of The Freezing Atlantic.Aberdeen City, "God is Going to Get Sick of Me" (mp3)
Apollo Sunshine | How the Elephant 6 collective missed these guys is a mystery. They have all the requisite Revolver Beatleisms and Smile-style Beach Boyishness to go along with vintage gear, a playful instrumental sensibility, and songs that sound like long-lost classics.Apollo Sunshine, "Phony Marony" (mp3)
Darkbuster | The title of Darkbuster's most recent masterwork, A Weakness for Spirits, pretty much says it all. When it comes to drinking to drinking songs sung by drinking types, it doesn't get any better than Darkbuster, a punk band with a sense of both humor and style.Darkbuster, "Shoulda Known Better" (mp3)
Dear Leader | This band probably wouldn't even be on this list if Roadrunner had had a clue about what to do with singer/guitarist Aaron Perrino's previous band, the Sheila Divine. But out of the ashes of that local hopeful Perrino has put together a band who are every bit as good and a lot more fun now that gearing up for major-label showcases isn't part of their routine.Dear Leader, "Raging Red" (mp3)
Frank Smith | The Lot Six are no more. But what started as a side project for their drummer, Aaron Sinclair, has evolved into one of the better roots-oriented rock bands in town. The Texas-bred Sinclair leads a band who sound as if they'd grown up on the Southern stuff.Frank Smith, "Time to Cut the Fence" (mp3)

From Calvin to Machen
The main panels of the north window show John Calvin (in the bottom window) seated writing. Above him is a red heart held in a hand symbolizing Calvin's statement when he was converted: "Lord, I offer you my heart promptly and sincerely." The coat of arms for the city of Geneva is in the center panel. Above this seal, Edwards and Whitfield are shown preaching. Benjamin Warfield is welcoming Abraham Kuyper to Princeton for the inauguration of the Stone lectures (1898) in the top panel. The log cabin with the blue roof (just below Warfield and Kuyper) commemorates the beginning of Princeton University. Across the top of the window a wagon is shown with a team of missionary efforts of John Nevius, who developed the Nevius plan for establishing missions in foreign lands.
Other small representations, beginning at lower left include Zwingli, the early Swiss reformer; the Scottish reformer John Knox and gravestones showing the killing-time in Scotland; two early missionaries to American Indians, John Eliot and David Brainerd; the Scottish minister and evangelist Robert Murray McCheyne; and finally, James Oliver Buswell Jr., who taught at Covenant Theological Seminary on the same campus as Covenant College when it was in St. Louis, Missouri. On the other side from bottom to top are two Swiss reformers – being driven from Allan, Switzerland; William Farel and Heinrich Bullinger; a picture of Westminster Abbey; the Baptist missionary William Carey in Burma; Charles Hodge of Princeton and James H. Thornwell of South Carolina; and finally the courtroom scene at the trial of J. Gresham Machen in 1936.

Excellent sound quality, but not very durable
Pros: Sound is very clear, good support off all three ranges, memory foam does a good isolation job
Cons: L jack, fit is a bit loose, cable got worn off on it's entry to the jack so I had to return them
I bought the earphones about 8 months ago and used them maybe twice or thrice a week. While I cannot complain about the sound quality, everything else is a bit off. My cable got damaged on it's entry to the jack (I'm using the earphones with my smartphone, which sits in my jeans pocket) so I had to return in to Logitech (on the bright side, Logitech agreed to replace it no questions asked). Cable seems a bit heavy as I need to pull half of it out of my shirt so that the earplugs would have a stable fit - otherwise they keep getting pulled downside somehow. I used to own a $40 Razer headset which beat Logitech in every aspect except sound quality.

Easily, I imagine, if you're planning on selling them on Ebay.Originally Posted by jonthejedi
Visited PA this weekend, and on my way through Bel Air, stopped at the usually reliable Target. Full of optomism from the relative bounty being described weekly by Marylanders, I proceeded to the toy aisle whereupon I found exactly two figures - Saga Jar Jar (!) and one other peg warmer. That's it - no deluxe, no 12", no action fleet, no lightsabers. They we'rent even on the right pegs - all they had were 3 pegs for their $9.99 exclusive sets. Looks like Bel Air Target isn't planning on carrying Star Wars anymore.

Out of the vintage collection which is better to keep?
- Figure on Revenge card OR Figure on card with actual movie name OR both?
- For the TPM, is it better to keep the card with the giveaway sticker Or without sticker?

If you're giving away the others then I'll take them off your hands. If you're looking at action figures as an investment then you're about 30 years too late. Check E-bay, prices of things we collect in our hobby just keep going down with time. Keep the one you're most interested in. For me, I only got the revenge carded figures (and only a few of those,) because that was all that interested me.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
From a collectible standpoint, I would definitely keep the cards WITH the stickers. The stickers are very easy to remove cleanly (they are designed to be that way now), whereas if you don't have them you can't just put them back on. I personally don't like how the stickers look on the cards though.
As for the rarity on the Revenge vs Return cards, I suppose the Revenge cards are going to be rarer but right now it doesn't feel like it since they are still trickling out of their shipping window. Only time will tell which one bears out longer, but the Revenge cards will probably be the rarer variant as time goes on. If nothing else, they will be harder to replace over time, whereas there will be more product with Return logos no matter what. But if you can afford to, hold onto both since some of the Return cards may ship in lower numbers overall. For my collection, if I were still a carded collector, I'd definitely hold onto the Revenge cards just for the variety.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
As far as Revenge cards go, if I found a figure on a Revenge card, I kept it and didn't get the Return version of it. I think they are going to be like other chase figures of the past: worth a little more then the regular versions, but not worth a fortune.
As for the the stickers, I removed pretty much all of them except for a few to keep as examples. I kept a Boba Fett with the Fett sticker and a Darth Maul with the Maul sticker on it. I like to see the pictures on the cards, so thats why I ended up peeling off most of mine.

1.12: Principle of Uniformitarianism
What does this mean: "The present is the key to the past"?
How can this photo help you to figure out what happened in Earth's history? You see the molten lava. You see what the rock looks like when the lava cools. What if you see that type of rock in an outcrop? You can assume that it formed from molten lava. This is the best tool for understanding Earth history. Earth scientists use what they know about Earth in the present to figure out what happened in the past.
Ask a Question – Earth History
The outcrop in the image below is at Checkerboard Mesa in Zion National Park, Utah (Figure below). It has a very interesting pattern on it. As a geology student you may ask: how did this rock form?
Checkerboard Mesa in Zion National Park, Utah.
If you look carefully at the rock, you will see that it's made of sand. This rock formation is called the Navajo sandstone. Does knowing that the rock is sandstone tell you how it formed? No, although it limits the possibilities. The next thing to do is to make observations now and apply them to this rock that formed long ago.
James Hutton came up with this idea in the late 1700s. The present is the key to the past. He called this the principle of uniformitarianism. It works like this: we understand a geological process that happens now. We see the outcome of that process, say a rock. Then we find evidence that same process happened in the past, like a similar rock. We can assume that the process operated the same way in the past.
Let's go back to that outcrop. What would cause sandstone to have layers that cross each other, a feature called cross-bedding?
Answer a Question – Earth History
In this photo of the Mesquite sand dune in Death Valley National Park, California (Figure below), we see that wind can cause cross-bedding in sand. Cross-bedding is due to changes in wind direction. There are also ripples caused by the wind waving over the surface of the dune.
The Mesquite sand dune in Death Valley National Park, California.
This doesn't look exactly like the outcrop of Navajo sandstone, but if you could cut a cross-section into the face of the dune it would look very similar.
Since we can observe wind forming sand dunes with these patterns now, we have a good explanation for how the Navajo sandstone formed. The Navajo sandstone is a rock formed from ancient sand dunes. The rock shows that the ancient wind direction changed from time to time.
This is just one example of how geologists use observations they make today to unravel what happened in Earth's past. Rocks formed from volcanoes, oceans, rivers, and many other features are deciphered by looking at the geological work those features do today.
- principle of uniformitarianism: Processes that happen today happened in the past with the same results; the present is the key to the past.
- You may need to apply what you know about the present to determine what happened in the past.
- The idea that the present is the key to the past was recognized by James Hutton in the late 1700s.
- If you see something forming by a process today and then find the end results of that process in the rock record, you can assume that the the process operated the same way in the past.

One irony of the Obama presidency is how much it relies on hard power. The president came into office proposing a dramatic shift from George W. Bush's perceived unilateralism, and most of his predecessor's hard-edged counterterrorism tactics and massive deployments in wars abroad. Yet after three years, Obama has escalated forces in Afghanistan, embraced the widespread use of unmanned drones to kill terrorists at the risk of civilian casualties, kept Guantánamo open, and killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in a thoroughly unilateral fashion.
What he hasn't accomplished to any great degree is what most observers assumed would be the hallmark of his approach to foreign affairs—a full assertion of the soft power that makes hard power more effective. His 2008 campaign centered on a critique of President Bush's overreliance on hard power. Obama suggested he would rehabilitate the damaged image of America created by these excesses and show that the United States was not a cowboy nation. Upon taking office, he made fresh-start statements, such as his June 2009 remarks in Cairo, and embraced political means like dialogue, respectful multilateralism, and the use of new media, suggesting that he felt the soft power to change minds, build legitimacy, and advance interests was the key element missing from the recent US approach to the world—and that he would quickly remedy that defect.
Yet President Obama's conception of soft power has curiously lacked the very quality that has made it most efficacious in the past—the values dimension . This may seem odd for a leader who is seen worldwide as an icon of morality, known for the motto "the audacity of hope" and his deployment of soaring rhetoric. Yet his governance has virtually ignored the values dimension of soft power, which goes beyond the tradecraft of diplomacy and multilateral consultation to aggressively assert the ideals of freedom in practical initiatives. The excision of this values dimension renders soft power a hollow concept.

Shares of Samsung Electronics (005930KS) are down ₩9,000, or 0.7%, at ₩1,306,000, after the company reported in morning time in Seoul, South Korea, revenue and operating profit that missed analysts' estimates.
Revenue in the three months ended in June rose 21%, year over year, to ₩57.5 trillion, yielding net income of ₩7.77 trillion.
Analysts had been modeling ₩57.81 trillion and and ₩7.96 trillion in net income, according to FactSet.
Bloomberg also compiled its own data, as related by reporter Jungah Lee, which also came up with a miss on the bottom line, although Bloomberg has the revenue number being half a trillion Won above consensus.
The revenue number is better than a July 5th forecast for ₩57 trillion in revenue, which at the time was below analysts' expectations. Operating profit of ₩9.5 trillion matched the forecast offered then.
Ebitda margin rose to 23% from 21%.
Samsung said its semiconductor division saw "low PC demand" as in prior periods, "while mobile remained solid, SSD [solid-state drive] growth continued."
NAND memory chip demand was boosted by smartphone and "mass-market tablet" products. The LCD panel side of the business saw demand up 6% for television panels, and average selling prices improved on the products. Panels for computer products "remained weak."
In the handset division, the market was "under weak seasonality," Samsung said, with smartphone demand rising "slightly," on a "low-single-digit" percentage change from Q1.
Samsung does not disclose unit shipments of its smartphones. It said sales rose thanks to the Galaxy S4, without specifying, and said profit declined given start-up costs for the new model and increased R&D costs.
For the current quarter, the company expects more demand for NAND from "new mobile product launch" and "expanded SSD adoption" in PCs and corporate data centers. The company sees rising smartphone competition and balance between developing markets and developed markets:
Expect smartphone and tablet markets growth to continue under strong seasonality, while competition to intensify led by new product launches; Smartphone: Expect balanced growth in DM and EM; Developed markets: LTE replacement demand to continue, and expect competition for year-end promotions; Emerging markets: Expect ramp up growth led by mass-market smartphone, including China; Tablet: Expect high growth in both DM and EM; Expect competition to intensify as new product offerings to expand.
In the Bloomberg piece mentioned above, the reported is depicted as both Samsung's battle with Apple (AAPL), and also a reflection of the declining profitability of the smartphone market. Jungah's article quotes analyst Ahn Seong Ho of Hanwha Investment & Securities in Seoul as saying before the report came out that "The market consensus has been already built since late last year that the profitability of smartphones will likely slow; what matters now is by how much it will shrink."

And in the world of college football message boards, Tiger Droppings — launched in 2001 by a software programmer who was hoping to create a place where he and his fellow L.S.U. fan buddies could chat among themselves, and share images and links — is widely regarded as the king.
Brian Fiegel
Needless to say, when L.S.U. and Alabama play Saturday night, in what will arguably be college football's biggest regular-season game for the second straight year, there will be plenty of trash-talking taking place on the field, in the stands and all around the stadium. But it will probably pale in comparison to the trash-talking already taking place between L.S.U. and Alabama fans on Tiger Droppings and similar message boards, something Donnels likens to "a bar fight in a comedy club," featuring "incessant fan-base posturing, horrendous grammar and transparent trolling."
So who is his brother?

Eli and the Giants can beat the Pats in a single game, not through 16 games though. No way they ever host a playoff game if they are in NE's division.
Didn't we win the AFC East in 2008? Didn't junk call that a fluke? So if the Giants can beat the Patriots every single time in the Super Bowl, then apparently they CAN win the AFC East because a terrible Miami Dolphin franchise did so...but it would just be another fluke that junk would drum up some lame duck excuse for.
If so and so team is good, make excuses. If the Jets are bad, make excuses. If. If. If. If this and if that then this and that happens and I'm right. That's the flow chart of nyjunk logic.
last 5 losses vs. NYG:
1996: we finished 1-15
1999: 8-8
2003: 6-10
2007: 4-12
2011: 8-8
You won the AFC East in 2008 b/c this small part of the Pats missed the season, you may have heard of this Tom Brady guy, right?
I don't make excuses, I am using your flawed logic saying we backed in. if you used that flawed logic you have to apply it to Miami as well.
You may have heard me say a time or two that I just don't give a **** about getting to the playoffs. It's irrelevant. Wake me when we get to a Super Bowl. Until then, I'm not getting excited about playoff football.
I love how you say "the bottom of the AFC East" and don't mention the Jets. I think you may have planned it that way but I'm not sure.
The last decade the Jets are a top five AFC team?
Indianapolis Colts
Pittsburgh Steelers
Baltimore Ravens
New England Patriots
You really believe that you guys belong in that group? If you say yes, then you're verifying that the AFC has been bad for quite sometime now lol.
