Egg dishes have a lot in common, and many cultures have developed egg dishes. Because eggs don't have a strong taste, they are all useful for conveying other combinations of flavors. In addition, their unique protein composition, which starts out fluid, but with heat rapidly develops a structure that supports other ingredients, is very useful in creating many different kinds of dishes. The standard egg dishes –- among them quiche, omelet, frittata, and strata -– all have differences that you can use to your advantage, depending on what your needs are for any given meal.

Omelets

Omelets are perhaps the best-known egg dishes in North America. Beaten eggs are mixed with a little liquid (no more than 1 Tablespoon per egg, and often less), and cooked until set, then folded around a filling. They are usually eaten immediately after cooking.

Tip: Make sure the filling is warm before putting it into the omelet.

Frittatas

Lesser known in the United States, this is an Italian version of an omelet. Because of the way it is cooked, I think it is more versatile, as it can be easily eaten later, and even frozen. Several portions are usually cooked at once, in only marginally more time than it takes to cook an omelet. There are several techniques, but I favor a quick one that starts on the stove and finishes in a few minutes under the broiler. Note that while "saucy" fillings can work well in omelets, you would usually want to avoid putting sauces in a frittata.

Tip: Small cubes of cheese in a frittata will melt during cooking and create yummy little cheese pockets.

How to Cook a Frittata
Recipe: Pizza Frittata

Quiches

A quiche is essentially a baked custard (savory rather than sweet) in a pie shell –- although you can certainly make one without the crust as I always do. It usually includes cheese, as well as other ingredients. Since it is a custard, it is more delicate in consistency than a frittata. This is because it is made with more liquid than eggs, traditionally 2 to 3 eggs per cup of liquid (traditionally cream, but this is less usual these days), although you see recipes with more eggs.

Tip: The trick with quiche is how to preserve the delicate texture. This is achieved by removing it from the oven while it is still a bit uncooked in the center; it will continue to cook when removed from the heat. Overcooked quiche has a "tough," cracked texture around the outside.

How to Make a Crustless Quiche
Recipe: Smoked Salmon, Leek, and Mushroom Quiche (Crustless)

Stratas

Stratas are egg, cheese, and bread casseroles that puff up when baking. When I was younger, I heard these casseroles called all kinds of different things, but in recent years I tend to hear the Italian name for it, which is strata. They are usually not a low-carb dish, although you can make them with low carb bread. I have found that substituting 1 and 1/2 cups of almond meal for the bread can sometimes work, as in this Bacon and Egg Casserole. A strata has the same ratio of liquid to eggs as a quiche, although traditionally milk is used, not cream. You can put anything into it that you would put into a quiche or frittata.

Egg Casseroles

I don't know what else to call this genre of egg dishes. Again, they are usually some combination of egg and cheese, but either with flour added to the milk or with a more solid dairy product such as sour cream or yogurt. They are heartier than a quiche, probably leaning more towards a strata in texture. Examples are my Denver Casserole or Chiles Rellenos Casserole.

"Pablo Escobar is responsible for over 5500 murders," the executioner, nicknamed Popeye, says from behind bars in a Colombian prison. "Being a killer was his day job. But his passion was soccer. It was his escape, his cloud nine."
That moment in this new film by Jeff Zimbalist, 32, a 2000 graduate of Brown University, and his brother, Michael, 30, a Wesleyan University graduate, captures the intense link between soccer and organized crime in Colombia during the 1980s and 1990s when cocaine kingpins used soccer clubs to launder their profits.
The film, which first aired in June on ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary series, has received glowing reviews (The Hollywood Reporter called it "masterful") and was a hit at Cannes and other film festivals. The movie will be shown again on ESPN next month, and a DVD will be out in November.
The two Escobars were connected by soccer, not blood. Pablo was the notorious head of the Medellin Cartel and a soccer fanatic who used his dope money to turn the country's team, Nacional, into a world-class club. Andrés Escobar, dubbed "The Gentleman of the Field," was the team's humble and God-fearing captain who believed that through the sport he could shed the country's reputation as the home of "narco-soccer."
Until Escobars, the Zimbalists, born in Northampton, Massachusetts, and living on opposite sides of the country now (Jeff is in New York; Michael, San Francisco), were best known for Favela Rising, a 2005 film about the rise of Afro Reggae, a music group in the slums of Rio de Janeiro.
The brothers — distant relatives of the actor Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. — were in Colombia, working on a new feature (a political thriller starring Central Falls native Viola Davis), when ESPN called about making a film for the series, sports documentaries celebrating the network's 30th anniversary.
A friend suggested the Escobars, and the Zimbalists went with it. They spent months cultivating sources and used old news footage and interviews with Pablo's inner circle and Andrés's family to show how the lives of these famous Colombians were tragically entwined.
"There were tears and catharsis and an outpouring of emotion," says Michael. "We were able to capture that emotion and put it on screen."
He poured millions into the club, lifting it out of obscurity and creating national heroes, like Andrés. It was common knowledge among players and obsessive fans that drug money was fueling the team, but most adopted a "don't ask, don't tell" attitude.

Trussell appointed acting dean of WWS
Posted January 8, 2002; 12:01 a.m.
James Trussell , associate dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, has been named acting dean of the school, effective Feb. 1.
Michael Rothschild, who announced last fall that he would be completing his service as dean in June 2002, has decided to leave his position as of Feb. 1. Trussell, the John Foster Dulles Professor in International Affairs and professor of economics and public affairs, will serve as acting dean until a new dean is appointed.
A search was launched last fall, with the hope that a new dean would be in place by July 1.
Richard Ullman, the David K.E. Bruce Professor of International Affairs, has been named acting director of the Center of International Studies, which Rothschild has been directing on an interim basis while serving as dean. A permanent director of the center will be appointed following consultation with its faculty.

Skullcandy stock is now at less than half its ipo price. Do you think the company will turn around? The ipo was at $20 in July 2011 and now the stock is at around $6.50. The analysts are expecting earnings of around $1 a share this year, around what they earned last year. The company has very little debt. The short interest in the stock is huge. Shorts are future buyers though, and will help propel the stock price upwards when they cover. The tricky thing is Q4 earnings. The company makes around half their profit in Q4. If they miss the stock will go down further, however if they beat expectations then the stock may surge. At around $6.50 a share the stock is starting to look tempting.
I have been watching the stock from the sidelines and remember many bashing it at the ipo time when it was $20. Since then though the company has come out with some interesting higher priced products. Recently there were articles claiming that the company might be a takeover target at its current low stock price. Is the stock a buy now, and if so is it just a short term play(hoping for a rally to $10-12) or does the company really appear to be reinventing itself, and will this be a good long term story? Soon after the ipo when Skullcandy's stock price was around $20 I was thinking that Skullcandy should have tried to buy Koss, Grado, or some other small headphone maker with interesting technology.

(Almost) Got a New Bike
Today, I apparently felt very optimistic.
You see, Monday I went to Cycle Technique and asked them if they had some used bikes, having in mind of getting a rain/winter bike. Turned out they did, their summer rental bikes, they were pretty nice, and (allegedly) they had a large one that would fit me. I figured I'd give it a thought, then decided it was a good idea, and went on the Tuesday. I figured I'd walk there, pick up the bike, then ride to work. Except that large was actually a medium. So I walked to work instead.
Today, I figured I'd head over to Beaudry metro, check out Vélo Espresso and Revolution Montreal, for sure I should be able to get a decent used ride between the two of those, right? Well, no. Well, maybe. But mainly no. I had forgotten that Revolution mainly does custom built bikes, meaning that, no, they did not have anything for sale right there. Vélo Espresso had a used bike, but while it could have done, it was quite used. On their main floor, they had this rather weird bike, a Norco VFR 3 Internal. It's a fairly sporty frame, although not too aggressive, and it actually has space and lugs for fenders and racks (although I hear that it's not always the best fit ever), but it has an internal hub and a chain cover. An internal hub and a chain cover, but no fenders? I keep seeing utility bikes that have fenders, racks and lights, but no chain cover nor internal hub, and this bike has the reverse? Well, uh, it so happens that this is the exact set of things that you can't add, so I guess that's cool? I tried it out around a few blocks, and while it's not nearly an upright riding position, it's still surprisingly relaxed. It also comes with clipless pedals and clip-on platforms like those I already have?!? What a weird bike!
After that, I went to ABC Cycles & Sports, but it was closed (only on Wednesdays, argh!). I stopped by Brakeless, since it was just down from it, but they only had the one fixie, it seems more trendy than a place I'd actually want to get a bike from. I then headed over to Le Yéti, where I had a rather informative chat, and saw a ridiculously fancy German bike (I think? don't remember the make/model), which, while complying with pretty much all my requirements, and piling on disc brakes on top (because I really like brakes that work well), is also almost three grands, although it's now on sale at a bit past two grands. Uh, tempting as it is, I'll have to pass.
After that, La Bicycletterie JR, Sport Dépôt, and Pignon sur Roues. The latter had an interesting bike, the Louis Garneau Cityzen One, but is oddly missing just a chain cover (even though a blurb about the bike in Vélo Mag claims there's one?). Why is there almost no bike with chain covers?
I ended up going back to Sport Dépôt, and after some pondering, getting a Marin Belvedere. I had already spotted that bike from some research on the web, and while I knew they had Marin bikes there, turns out they pretty much only had this one, 20% off, so it was a happy coincidence. But... Their mechanic was off today, so they couldn't prep the bike, so I did not ride to work, once more.
Tomorrow, I shall ride home on my new ride! There's no stopping me! They may try, and Jeff might try to jinx me (I beat his Space Invaders high score to ward it off), but I'll be riding back tomorrow, rain or shine, and there'll be no stripe down my back if it's raining!

Grief is a reaction to a major loss. It is most often an unhappy and painful emotion.
Mourning; Grieving; Bereavement
Grief may be triggered by the death of a loved one. People also can experience grief if they have an illness for which there is no cure, or a chronic condition that affects their quality of life. The end of a significant relationship may also cause a grieving process.
Everyone feels grief in their own way. However, there are common stages to the process of mourning. It starts with recognizing a loss and continues until a person eventually accepts that loss. People's responses to grief will be different, depending on the circumstances of the death.
For example, if the person who died had a chronic illness, the death may have been expected. The end of the person's suffering might even have come as a relief. If the death was accidental or violent, coming to a stage of acceptance might take longer.
One way to describe grief is in five stages. These reactions might not occur in a specific order, and can (at times) occur together. Not everyone experiences all of these emotions:
People who are grieving may have crying spells, some trouble sleeping, and lack of productivity at work.
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your symptoms, including your sleep and appetite. Symptoms that last for a while may lead to clinical depression.
Family and friends can offer emotional support during the grieving process. Sometimes outside factors can affect the normal grieving process, and people might need help from:
The acute phase of grief usually lasts up to 2 months. Some milder symptoms may last for a year or longer. Psychological counseling may help a person who is unable to face the loss (absent grief reaction), or who has depression with grieving.
You can help the
See also:
It may take a year or longer to overcome strong feelings of grief, and to accept the loss.
Grief and loss can affect your overall health. It can lead to depression or excessive alcohol or drug use. Grief that lasts for more than 2 months and is severe enough to interfere with your daily life may be a sign of complicated grief and more serious illness, such as major depression. Medication may be helpful.
Call your health care provider if:
Grief should not be prevented because it is a healthy response to loss. Instead, it should be respected. Those who are grieving should have support to help them through the process.

I was finally able to receive my morale trip this week and went to Happy Camper Snow School! From reading Michelle's entry about her time at Happy Camper you already know all of the basic details about the trip. It is two very long days of working outside in the cold weather learning the basics of Antarctic survival skills. I was fortunate to have Zak, a friend of mine who is a cook on the PM shift, come along with me. The rest of our group was made up of scientists who had just arrived in town and were heading out to the dry valleys in a few days.
Unlike Michelle I chose to sleep in the Quinzee; which is basically a snow cave hollowed out of a large pile of snow. We built the cave by making a pile of 12 sleeping kits and then covering them with snow...A LOT of snow
About an hour later we came back and dug a hole in the side wall and removed the sleeping kits. With the kits removed we had the basic chamber that would act as the main sleeping area. Not too difficult...but then came the hard part of building the entrance. At the front of the pile we dug a whole about 6 feet deep. After that it was all hands and knees digging and scratching out a tunnel that would come out in the corner of the cave.
When all the work was done Zak and I finally moved in! It was surprising how comfortable and warm it became once we laid out the ground mats and sleeping bags. It was made more enjoyable with the addition of Zack's I-pod and speakers for some entertainment. We crawled into our sleeping bags and went to sleep watching the Transformers movie. Now that's what I call roughing it!
The only down side to the whole trip was that we were out in the cold with a dozen new people. McMurdo Station is a small community so if one person has a cold everyone eventually gets it! Therefore every time new people arrive they bring a new set of germs with them. Upon returning to town I got sick...but that's a small price to pay for such a wonderful time seeing what Antarctica is really like!

Online sign-up begins for freshman writing seminars
Posted September 10, 2001; 08:24 a.m.
As part of a revamped undergraduate writing requirement, all freshmen this year will take a one-semester writing seminar offered by the Princeton Writing Program. For the first time, freshmen will sign up for these seminars online.
Each writing seminar focuses on an intellectually stimulating topic while introducing students to strategies and techniques of college-level argument. Freshmen have been randomly assigned to a term in which to take a writing seminar.
After meeting with academic advisers and enrolling in other classes, students assigned to the fall term will enroll in a writing seminar by ranking their top eight choices on a special Web site accessible via http://web.princeton.edu/writing . The enrollment period lasts from 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 11, until noon Thursday, Sept 13.
A few days after the end of the online enrollment period, students will be notified by e-mail of the particular writing seminar to which they have been assigned. Most students will receive one of their top four choices. Students assigned to the spring term will receive a catalog of seminar offerings sometime in December, before winter recess, and will enroll in a writing seminar in January.
For more information, visit http://web.princeton.edu/writing or contact the Princeton Writing Program at 258-2702 or email@example.com .

Cancer clinics across the country have begun turning away thousands of Medicare patients, blaming the sequester budget cuts.
Oncologists say the reduced funding, which took effect for Medicare on April 1, makes it impossible to administer expensive chemotherapy drugs while staying afloat financially.
Patients at these clinics would need to seek treatment elsewhere, such as at hospitals that might not have the capacity to accommodate them.
If we treated the patients receiving the most expensive drugs, wed be out of business in six months to a year, said Jeff Vacirca, chief executive of North Shore Hematology Oncology Associates in New York. The drugs were going to lose money on were not going to administer right now.
After an emergency meeting Tuesday, Vacircas clinics decided that they would no longer see one-third of their 16,000 Medicare patients.

Moving all the CI changes to 2.6.1 . GNU arch is talking a lot of time to generate diffs. I am thinking of moving back to cvs. I will use the same branching that Brian is using right now for 2.4 tree .
Moving all the CI changes to 2.6.1 . GNU arch is talking a lot of time to generate diffs. I am thinking of moving back to cvs. I will use the same branching that Brian is using right now for 2.4 tree .
Last few days was busy with the debian support of OpenSSI. The project is getting ready for a 1.0 release.You should be able to download the debian packages from here
I also managed to tag the CVS with arch-Alpha-kernel tag so that one can checkout a 2.4.18 based OpenSSI kernel that support HP Alpha architecture from the CVS using this tag. I verified this source using HP testdrive machines
Today I got the CI repository completely built with 2.6 source. Now the bug hunting starts.... ;-)
Today I got cluster/clms compiled, but with some #ifdef .I also moved all the timeval struct to timespec. I guess 2.6 count time using timespec. ( see xtime and current_kernel_time() ) . Also I noted that the source in the CI repository is broken and it can't build CI alone. Any how I am not going to fix that.
Finished merging the CI repository( Not yet started building it fully ). I have moved files around and renamed some function. I am looking for getting CI in three changeset
1) Build changes
2) Changes to base Linux kernel files
3) Changes( new files ) added for CI.
That way others should be able to review it better.
BTW this is a good revision control system
Yesterday had a nice time in boston. Went to the boston common . There were amazing ice sculptures. Then went to see fireworks at boston harbor. This site was helpful www.firstnight.org Well yesterday I enjoyed the day. I was feeling more or less the same as how i used to be in bangalore ;-). I guess i need to spend time going around places.
On OpenSSI side Finished fork and signal related changes. Commited the same to the local repository. Struggling with alpha assembly again( ret_from_rproc ) is fun ;-).
Last week worked on 2.6 Port of openssi . Right now merging the CI repository. Finished the build changes and header changes.

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that form a cuff over the shoulder. These muscles and tendons hold the arm in its "ball and socket" joint and are involved in essentially all shoulder motions.
The role of the tendons is to hold the powerful shoulder muscles to the shoulder and arm bones. The tendons can be torn from overuse or injury.
Either through an open incision or using small instruments through tiny incisions (arthroscopy), the tendon is repaired with sutures. If the tendon is separated from the bone, small rivets called suture anchors are used to attach the tendon back to the bone.
Surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff is usually very successful at relieving pain in the shoulder. The procedure is less predictable at returning strength to the shoulder. Recovery time often depends on the extent of the tear.

Delivering the bird to hand is part of the requirements, so holding it becomes part of the test. Holding a glove or hat (or any other object) could be seen as using a training device thereby making it unallowable. It just depends on the judges on what you can and can't do.
perfect example and done it many times.he original post does not say that the handler/dog are asked to step back into the holding blind while the blind is being planted. There are many times when there is already a dog in the holding blind and the judges instruct the handler to just "turn" the dog so he can't see the birdboy planting the blind in the field. Under these circumstances and depending on the handlers decision to do so, it can be benificial to let the dog hold the bird so he doesn't want to turn back around to view the field. It all boils down to knowing your dog and what would work best given the scenario.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalms 12: 8
The wicked walk on every side when the vilest men are exulted
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
The practise can definitely have benefits, but if the judges want things done in a certain sequence, that's what you are going to have to do. Ran a Master water test in which there was a delayed triple with a poison bird blind. Two marks down, run the blind, and when the dog returned, you were to set the dog up, and when you took the blind bird from the dog they would fire the third mark off. I would rather have had my dog hold the bird while the mark was shot, but that wasn't what the judges wanted, so she was distracted following the bird away instead of watching the mark go down. Missed it entirely. Revealed a hole in our training, and gave us something to work on!

I'm gonna just throw this out there, there seems to be an assumption that there is an issue with the dog - I try and leave the bird in mouth as long as I can especially if you do not return to a holding blind. I also feel rushing to pull a bird out of a dog's mouth aggravates issues, it's better to be methodical on delivery and I highly dislike judges who crowd and rush the process. As long as the dog is not mouthing the bird what does a judge care? There is no rule that says they have to give the bird up right then and there, I'd rather see a clean delivery than a rushed one like Howard described.

I know of one particular dog who is hard to move once you take the bird out of his mouth. You line him up, move him how you want then take the bird, then he's pretty much froze, so you better line him up when he's got the bird. I guess he was trained this way, I see plus and minus in this way of training, as a froze non-swinging dog facing the right direction is nice, but a froze dog who's a little off is not. I believe the owner let's him keep the bird until he's lined up on the blind. I've never been asked for a bird by a judge, unless other stickiness issues were present.

I just dont understand all the talk???
Dog comes back to me. Dog sitting at heel.
I take bird from dog.
Turn dog to a front finish.
If my dog turns its head and looks... What entity doidnt plan the mechanics of the test well?
If the judges dont want the dog to see the blind planted,,,, Then take measure so that CANT happen..
have another holding blind away from the line,,and have the Handler move to it as the dogreturns,, and then recieve the dog in the holding blind.. As soon as MY dog gets there,, I'm takin the bird...
If the OP is talkin about some Training ritual he goes through,, then I agree with what someone very early in the thread said to the effect that Yes,, you can require the dog to hold the biird,, but remember,, you are under judgement during that period of time. If the dog starts to mouth, drop and wont pick up, or,, if you have to Coax him to do so,, I wont take that chance..
I really dont understand this thread... As usual ,, I am lost...
I have a very busy dog, who is always ready to go, "come on come on, ...what's goin on , lets get it on" When the judges have you receive the dog in the holding blind, my dog will sit quieter if she has a bird in her mouth, in fact she is pretty patient. Once I take the bird, she is trying to sneak a peek at what is going on and I have to stay on her more.
Last month, I was standing there with Olive holding the bird, waiting for the judge to say "ok" to pick up the blind, while I was standing there looking at the dog, the judge said " I will take the bird" aww fooey...ok ........
I THINK this is what the OP is talking about

Alpha-1 antitrypsin is a laboratory test to measure the amount of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) in your blood.
A1AT test
A blood sample is needed. For information on how thisis done, see: Venipuncture
There is no special preparation.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is helpful in identifying a rare form of emphysema in adults and a rare form of liver disease (cirrhosis) in children and adults caused by an A1AT deficiency. A1AT deficiency is passed down through families. The condition causes the liver to make too little of a protein that protects the lungs and liver from damage.
Everyone has two copies of the gene that makes A1AT. Most people with lower than normal levels of A1AT have one normal gene for A1AT, and one abnormal gene. Persons with two abnormal copies of the gene have more severe disease.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Lower than normal levels of A1AT may be associated with:
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

It is important to always contact your physician and or wound specialist before starting any wound care therapy.
Additional Product Information as Provided by the Manufacturer:
Mepilex Heel minimizes both trauma to the wound and pain to the patient during dressing changes. The Safetac layer prevents Mepilex Heel from sticking to the moist wound bed yet it adheres gently to the surrounding skin allowing easy application of secondary fixation. Mepilex Heel absorbs moderate amounts of exudate effectively and ensure a low risk of maceration.
Areas of Use:
Mepilex Heel is designed for a wide range of moderately exuding wounds on the heel or malleolus such as:
Product Description:
Mepilex Heel is an absorbent soft silicone dressing. It consists of:
Safetac Technology:
Safetac is a patented soft silicone adhesive technology. On the wound, Safetac assures non-sticking and minimal trauma on removal even in critical situations when the exudate starts to dry out. On the skin, a dressing with Safetac has gentle but secure adhesion with no epidermal stripping or pain on removal.
Mode of Action:
Mepilex Heel absorbs exudate, maintains a moist wound-healing environment and minimizes the risk for maceration. As Mepilex Heel maintains a moist wound environment, supporting debridement, there might be an initial increase in the wound size. This is normal and to be expected. In case studies, dressings with Safetac Technology have demonstrated to normalize dry and scaly surrounding skin. Thanks to its absorptive properties Mepilex Heel is suitable for use under compression bandaging.
Mepilex Heel gently expands as it takes up exudate. Mepilex Heel can be used in combination with gels.
Intended Use:
Mepilex Heel is designed for a wide range of exuding wounds such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and traumatic wounds, e.g., skin tears and secondary healing wounds.
Instructions for Use:
2. Dry the surrounding skin thoroughly.
3. Remove the release films and apply the adherent side to the wound. Do not stretch.
4.For best results, Mepilex Heel should overlap dry surrounding skin by at least 2 cm.
5. When necessary, fixate Mepilex Heel with a bandage or other fixation.
6. Tape or film can be used to seal the joints on the sides of the dressing after application.
Frequency of Change:
Mepilex Heel may be left in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound and surrounding skin, or as indicated by accepted clinical practice. A change in dressing regimen can result in an initial increased level of exudate which temporarily may require an increased change frequency.
In case of clinical signs of infection the use of Mepilex Heel may be continued if proper infection treatment is initiated. Mepilex Heel should be stored in dry conditions below 95�F (35�C). Sterility is guaranteed unless inner package is damaged or opened prior to use. Do not re-sterilize.

From Rotorua we spent about 45 minutes cruising to Lake Taupo and the town of Taupo on it's shores. Again the road down was dotted with advertising for all kinds of adrenaline sports and activities. They're just mad for it over here. Like lake Rotorua there's lots of Airplanes and helicopters buzzing around all day long. The skies of New Zealand have to be some of the most populated skies in the world with all manner of light aircraft and helicopters. We booked into another "Top Ten" campsite (a chain of camper sites throughout New Zealand) and headed out for the day to check out the town and activities. The truth is we were only here for one reason and it was time to bite the bullet and get on with it so off to the airfield outside of town we headed. We had earmarked a company back in Auckland called Taupo tandem skydives. With the weather so nice and not a cloud in the sky for the next two days we figured what else would you do. So after a brief chat with a couple of the girls working there (one from Sligo) we signed up for first thing in the morning and headed home with beating hearts.
Next morning we got up and headed out to the airfield to have breakfast and a few moments of relaxation before we went into the TTS offices. Just signing up is the hardest part as we found out when we headed in for our kit fitting and briefing. We had signed up for the 15,000 foot tandem with an instructor which included a full 60 second freefall. After a little bit of standing around we met our Tandem masters and our own individual camera men or in my case a girl. Lou got Albert (tandem master) from Germany and Andy (camera man) from New Zealand while I got Ian (tandem master) from Wales and a girl who's name I cannot pronounce or spell from Japan. They kitted us up and gave us all the instructions we needed. Basically all we had to do was get in the plane and smile. They do absolutely everything else which leaves you with only your nerves to concentrate on. Everything from walking in to loading up in the plane took about 35 minutes. Which is good for anyone who is absolutely bricking it cause I doubt you'd have much time to think of anything.
So into the plane we jumped past the smell of engine fumes and we all shuffled into our places in front of our TM's all snug with the camera men and women sitting on the floor at the tail of the plane. They video eveything for your DVD from getting kitted up to your landing so we were all sat in the narrow plane bunched fairly close together awaiting our exit 25 minutes later at 15000 feet. Most of the TM's and camera operators are pretty mad in the head and they were passing around a handycam getting our faces and reactions on it. Poor Lou had been placed right beside the door (which was closed for the ascent) but which meant she was most likely first out. You don't get to choose really. It just happens that way. So after some sightseeing over Lake Taupo and beyond we had finally reached our height and the door was swung open. Up shuffles Lou in front of her TM and before you know it they're out the door followed straight after by the other four of us in the plane. Holy jeebus. Lou was on her knees before she exited as she had a tall TM but my TM was a little smaller and stockier (meaning he could stand in the door) so he decided to hold me hanging out of the plane for a second before we went flying. Lou lost her breath at the door on exit and until she came out of the initial tumble. I just shouted "Holy Fuck"!! We had been told that we may feel disoreientated for about 5-10 seconds at first but neither me or Lou felt that. From about two seconds in we were laughing shouting and loving every minute of it. Falling at 200km ph is an unbelievable rush. The camera people fly in and around you and come up to shake your hand and give you high fives. We tried sticking out our tongues for camera shots but it dried up in the wind so quickly you couldn't keep it out for fear of it sticking to your lip. Our cheeks were sore from laughing and smiling and not to mention the clown faces the wind impresses on you at 200 km an hour. Even if you wanted to make your own funny face you'd probably end up looking normal again. There's a monumental amount of things we would love to do during the freefall if we could afford to do it again on this trip because 60 seconds goes by far to quick. Before you know it you can feel the tug of the parachute and the camera people shoot off below and you're flying 5000 feet up. 10,000 feet dropped in 60 seconds. Absolutely awesome. After the freefall the parachuting is just a chance to relax and take in the view. Lou didn't much like the swirling around as she found it dizzying but once her ears popped she was fine. In my case I spent half the time talking shit to the TM and using words like "awesome" and "thanks Ian" far to much. I couldn't help it I was so giddy. Lou landed first on her bum in the grass followed a couple of seconds later by me again on me ass! Probably the first time either of us wanted our "two feet on the ground"! After a big hug and high fives we all took our last photo for the DVD and headed in to get undressed and wait on our DVD's and photos. I'm hooked and we'll deffo be looking into doing it again if the funds will allow. Easily the best activity we've done this trip or to date for that matter.
We spent the rest of the day chilling by the lake on the beach talking and trying to remember the feeling of flying like a bird....... What more could you do after that but hit the lake for a swim. It was after all, 26 degrees, and we needed cooling down after all that excitement.

E-mail Flaw Comes Back from the Dead in Leopard
Not to laugh, but pretty much every bad comment Apple makes about Windows is now coming true for them. Should we call this karma, false advertising about Macs or both?
Here's a wild idea to start an argument. How about a class action law suit against Apple?

Here's a wild idea to start an argument. How about a class action law suit against Apple?
Serious Apple Mail flaw patched last year in Tiger finds a new life in the Leopard OS
A serious security flaw in Apple Mail, patched more than a year ago in "Tiger," also known as Mac OS X 10.4, has reared its head again in the latest version of the operating system, according to Heise Security.
Heise discovered that the flaw, which could allow attackers to disguise malicious file attachments, was left open in last month's release of Mac OS X 10.5, "Leopard." The flaw was originally patched in March 2006.
Leopard has been criticized on several fronts since its release, notably for incomplete security measures, problems with some laptop keyboards, a mysterious "blue screen of death," and incompatibility with some older applications.
Leopard arrived two and a half years after Tiger, following a delay as Apple engineers devoted themselves to the iPhone.
The original Mail flaw was caused by limitations in the Download Validation feature used to warn users whether the file type is "safe." Researchers found that the feature could be evaded by attaching a resource fork to a seemingly "safe" file such as a JPEG image. A resource fork contains information such as which program should be associated with the file.
Using this technique, an image attachment would seem harmless, but when launched by the user could, for instance, execute a shell script with no further user interaction.
In 2006 Apple updated Download Validation to examine resource forks, closing the hole.
Heise researchers found that in Leopard, Mail appears to be once again unable to detect resource fork information.
"In tests performed by Heise Security, the Terminal window opened directly in most cases when the attachment to the email check test email was opened," Heise said in a report on Tuesday.
The tests were not consistent, with some attachments triggering the warning dialogue, Heise said.
Heise has developed a test e-mail mechanism, which can be found on its Web site.

Some days, you're blessed with textbook turkeys that honor your tree yelps and then tear up the woods on the way to the gun barrel. Yeah, many of my hunts don't resemble that, either. So what do you do? You hunt 'em, that's what.
That's pretty much where I was at a few years ago at a pretty place called Black Locust. It was a reclaimed phosphate mine in Missouri's Ozarks, and it featured a beautiful mix of open fields and gorgeous hardwoods. Oh, and it was jammed with turkeys, too. Trouble was, turkeys being turkeys, the gobbler we were on had hens and wouldn't leave one of those lovely open fields. His hens fed back and forth in the middle of the opening, and he just followed.
When he was at one end of the field, a buddy and I crawled up an old road to within about 40 steps of where he'd been 10 minutes earlier. It was a good setup ... if we had been there 10 minutes earlier. Now, however, the birds were 100 steps away and walking toward some shady timber. It was almost noon, and we figured they'd probably get in the shade soon.
Our dilemma was obvious. Did we crawl back to cover and slip around to where the turkeys were heading, or did we stay put in hopes they made one more swing past our setup? It's awfully hard to flip a coin when you're flat on your belly.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

RE:RL Winston Boron XTR rods (new)
A few years ago many top rods seemed to be under rated. The Sage RPLX, King of the Salt, was routinely fished one line heavy to sweeten it up a bit. The Orvis PM-10 and Loomis Mega rods also come to mind. This quality frustrated many, but these rods could really launch a Teeny line (over lining the rod 4 line weights or so).
The Loomis GLX rods were true to their line ratings. Sweet rods and the latest trends seem to be following their lead. The rod companies, using compound tapers, softened up the tips and created rods that load easily and generate terrific line speed. These rods are also true to their ratings (Sage XP, RPLXi, Orvis TL).
These soft tip rods really don't like to be over lined much, though. I think that the tip tends to collapse against the abrupt compound taper as opposed to a progressive taper that just works the flex further down the blank. Enter the Winston XTR (and maybe the Abel rods, but I've only cast them a few times).
After suffering the slings and arrows with the wacky BL-5, Winston wasn't going to let the bullies kick sand in their face any more. These rods(XTR) have a beefy tip that can handle over lining as well as an agressive casting stroke.
The new Powel AXS rods also seem to deal well with a heavy line. The Scott HP #9 sings with 30' of lead core, and T&T Horizons cast these heavy sink tips as well.
What impresses me the most about all the rods I've mentioned is how easy they are to cast. With the exception of the Abel, these rods are a lot easier to cast than the venerable RPLX.
Of course a good caster can do well with any rod. Practice and lessons are much cheaper than a new rod. Eddie
RE:RL Winston Boron XTR rods (new)
Wow Juro,
I have cast a 10 weight XTR Winston in 3 piece design yesterday. Even though I'm not too much a fan of trout-weight Winston rods I must say that I was extremely impressed. Awesome line speed (coupled with a Triangle taper monocore line) and phantastic workmanship make these rods really outstanding. It's just that their price here in Europe is outrageous: My buddy paid $800 (but got the line for free!!!). Nothing for my Y2K budget!!
RL Winston Boron XTR rods (new)
I had the pleasure of casting the new Winston XTR Boron rods in 8wt and 9wt recently over at Blue Northern (ayer MA). Talk about line speed! I thought the 8wt was exceptional and a real standout in the gazillion rods I cast this winter and spring waiting for stripers to arrive. Now that they're here you might take one of these rods for a test cast - they'll provide a significant advantage for biting tight loops into the wind or carrying larger flies in a highly energized cast. The nice thing about the 8wt XTR is that it won't take it out on your arm - the rod does the work.
The 9wt was a major step up in terms of stiffness but is a proper tool for large stripers, flies and conditions. Both are beautiful works in the Winston tradition.

A big part of the problem is the cost of giving medical care to the aged in an aging population. Also, the acess that Americans are used to having to highly technical care is very expensive. So far, no country has come up with a model that works well. Time will tell if ours can. I think there are going to be too many concessions needed by the population to make it very palatable. There will have to be some sort of rationing to make health care for everyone financially viable. We'll see if the people are willing to accept that.
They way medicine is headed with continually decreasing reimbursements, increasing regulation and deteriorating satisfaction with the practice of medicine, I have a hard time recommending this profession to young people.
The stats may hold true under our present system, but if adding universal health care insurance to the picture, a new variable, those stats may, or may not, continue to hold true.As an aside, there is a fair amount of evidence that medical service usage is driven more by the availability of services than it is by the need for services. As the number of providers goes up, visits go up with no obvious benefit in health outcomes. This pattern was first identified in a book titled Doctors, Patient and Health Care by Hermann Somers in the 1970's and has been repeatedly illustrated since then by health economists.

I don't use the PM feature, so just email me direct at the address shown above.
It's not clear, in fact, that there is a good answer for rural care. In truly rural areas, the infrastructure to support modern medicine is not readily available. As a consequence, the real answer may lie in more intense us of communication and transportation resources to support primary care providers in rural areas and move people to more urban areas for all other care. While I haven't seen recent data, when I was first involved in research on these issues the average compensation for rural GP's was actually higher than for urban GP's. Despite this, there were few takers because of the lack of hospitals and ancillary services in rural areas.
I think Buck Mann's comment that "They way medicine is headed with continually decreasing reimbursements, increasing regulation and deteriorating satisfaction with the practice of medicine, I have a hard time recommending this profession to young people." is very true. This is not the product of government run insurance, it is the product of private managed care plans and government run plans. The primary approach used for driving down costs has been to drive down physician compensation. What other professions have seen reduced income over the last decade? However, i suspect that the bigger problems have been related to the increased bureacratization of care and the pressure it has placed on physicians to perform more and more administrative activities that are not directly tied to patient care.
Having said that, I am extremely impressed by the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center group practice that I now use. They have put together administrative and computer resources that appear to work extremely well. My physician spends her time being a physician and loves the fact that she always as the chart at her fingertips, always has every lab test and xray at her fingertips, and can order whatever is needed in seconds and have the appointments be scheduled and printed out for me immediately, all with virtually no typing of her own. I have toured a lot of medical facilities and do not believe I have ever seen a better run clinic.

If you think your comments can affect me like that, you have a really overinflated opinion of your self-importance!
What I take exception to is race-baiting comments like that. In no way did I refer to race. I pointed out that more and more voids in the healthcare workforce will be filled with people from other areas of the world that may or may not speak english. (England not being one of them, since I assume they still speak english there, albeit with an accent)
I think most reasonable people on this list, esp those who have had experince with poor-english-speaking doctors will sympathize, and not accuse that observation as being racist. There is a difference between race and one's first language or country of origin. Believe it or not MK, there are white people from other countries that are more difficult to understand than many of different races.
So get your racial-policing haclkes back down, nobody is violating your rules here. Relax, life's good.
Happy bumper regards,

Dave, you are right on the money. I cannot think of many things that are scarier than going to the emergency room and being treated by an MD who has poor English skills. Being unable to communicate with the doctor is a major roadblock in getting the proper treatment. He/she may be a fine doctor, but not being able to understand one another is a major problem in getting a problem fixed. Been there done that.

Some of you are missing the point on foreign born doctors, whether they speak Farsi,Chinese,Vietnamese, these doctors are by and large the cream of the crop of there respective countries.Look at any large metropolitan city and pick any specialty and more than likely one of the pre eminent specialists is a foreign born doctor. They are not the folks you see at your local 7-11 or any motel near your favorite HT/FT
Even better yet take a look at this years National Spelling Bee finalists, most of the kids were either of Pakistani, Asian or Indian descent..coincidence..not hardly..These countries are beating us at a game the US invented
I'm at work (lunch break) right now, but as I type, there are literally MILLIONS of americans watching Oprah or Jerry Springer, stuffing chips and soda down their gullet as fast as chubby arms will allow, whose ONLY fluid intake is soda, and the only thing they've read is the warming directions on a swanson box. Pretty ugly picture, but it explains why we're getting our butts whipped by many international measures, and why our life expectancy is decreasing.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hey Flier,
You know a lot more about those tarpon than I do. I think you are fishing around the corner from gallows bay, at the entrance to Altoona Lagoon. if so, I know that the lagoon itself has one of the only shrimp populations (thats what all the peurto-rican guys are after with the nets). Also, the lagoon holds some baby tarpon. I think any huge shrimp imitation would be a good bet, as tarpon everywhere else love them. Also, i know that a lot of them hang out around the point under shade of the marina piers during the day, waiting for the fishermen to come in and clean fish. I dont know what good that information may be, other than that they may be suckers for big, dead looking imitations of sprat or whatever else looks easy.
|I have been here about thirty years. Worked as a Marine ecologist for the Government for too long. I know every cove and Lagoon on the island. St. Croix is a very heavily impacted island in terms of our fish populations and the environmental condition of our waters. Bonefish that were here in large numbers back in the 50's are non exsistant. Our inshore reefs have been stripped of fish. The situation is grim. Run-off from development has filled our salt ponds and lagoons. The largest salt water Lagoon ( Kraus Lagoon ) and marine nursery in the Virgin Islands was completely destroyed back in the sixties to build a giant oil refinery ( Hess Oil). Like most places the people had no thought about the future and greed decided the environmental fate of this island. So American!
Ahh fishing tarpon like a man!
Sounds great. I see that St Croix has several lagoons - two small but interesting ones on the shore side of the airport, very fishy. Also the great pond and the west pond not to mention some very good looking coves on the north side etc.
Have you investigated these lagoons and great salt ponds?
I am fishing from shore in a cove inside a barrier reef with a sandy beach. These fish become active right at dusk. My freind has caught them with Rapalas on spinning gear. I have yet to go after them with a fly. Generally, the conditions have to be right with the schooling baitfish and the tell tale Pelicans. One day they are there, the wind swings, the currents change around for a day or two and they are gone. Typical! Got to hit it just right.
I doubt tarpon on the feed are going to be too particular about the fly pattern but the general profile should suggest what they are after and it should be tied on a hook that has a chance of holding them (see recent thread).
If it were me I would tie black cockroaches for tradition, black page's bigeye baitfish, black deceivers, large shrimp patterns, half and halfs, etc on high-end hooks like the Tiemco tarpon hook and/or the Gami tarpon hooks.
Good luck and hold on tight!
BTW - where are you located and what type of situation are you fishing... a lighted dock? Lagoon? Channel? Beach?
Are you fishing from shore?
Dusk Tarpon fly
I need some recomendations for some flies to use on Tarpon that are feeding activly right at dusk on schooling baitfish.

April 13th, 2012
This week I've had an opportunity to spend a couple of days at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. On these rare occasions, I like to spend time learning about sets of records of that are not online and that have not been microfilmed. This week I learned a little about "Carded Medical Records."
The Civil War pension record of my Great-grandfather, Daniel R. Woodward, made it clear that he had been injured during the Civil War—not in battle, but when he fell over a stump in camp.[1]
Records of Union soldiers who had been hospitalized during the Civil War were compiled onto cards from original records such as hospital registers, rolls, reports, and records relating to medical treatment. The resulting "Carded Medical Records" generally contain data that includes name; rank; organization; complaint; and date of admittance.[2] The cards are arranged by state and thereunder by regiment.
The Carded Medical Records of the 16th Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers were located for the following Woodwards.
1. Daniel R. Woodward, Pvt., Co. E; Admitted Mch 6, 1863 to Regimental Hospital, 16 New Hampshire Infantry; and sent to G.H. Charity Mc 3; Source:NH Regt'l Reg. No. 123, Hos. No. [blank]; page 13.
2. Daniel R. Woodward, P, Co. E, 16 Reg't NH; Admitted Mar 6, 1863 to Charity U.S. Gen'l Hosp., New Orleans, La.; Diagnosis: Chronic disease of ankle joint; Disch'd from service May 8, 1863; age 29; Nativity, Merrimack Co., NH; Source:[La Reg. No. 23; Hos. No. [blank]; page 134.
3. T.N. Woodward, Pt, Co. I, 16 Reg't NH Vol; complaint, Febris Typhoid; Admitted June 14th, 1863, to St. James U.S. Gen'l Hosp., New Orleans, La.; Disch'd from service, Aug 1st, 1863; Remarks: By reason of expiration of terms of Service; Ward 4; Source: La.

Halloween 6 was really wacky. I want to see the "Halloween 6: Producers Cut". It is supposed to be a lot better than the Halloween 6 that was cut/edited/reshot and released.

I don't disagree but the Colorado Trust is a quality group here in our state. Vist their web site and check them out.
After having been a researcer for 25 years I do understand models and statistics.
I hope we can move health care along to the point we don't leave people out and we get costs under control. At this time it is a hidden tax and a profit generator for the share holders of national insurance companies and their management. I do not beleive that the current model is good for our citzens, business or our general productivity.
I have studied health care in 5 nations while I was with Coors Brewery at the request of Bill Coors CEO at that time. I have my opinions but I'm sure most of the folks on this site are not interested in any thing that does not support their basic political bias.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s true legacy is that of a radical, revolutionary man who led people in coordinated acts of nonviolent lawbreaking to force change in a stubbornly oppressive nation, activist-writer Elaine Brown said.
Brown, the first and only female leader of the Black Panther Party, is a keynote speaker at UC Irvine's 30th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium that starts Monday.
Her speech Wednesday will channel King's views and action plans into present-day issues based on King's public statements and actions toward the latter part of his life, she said.
King would be fighting for gun control, universal health care and redistribution of America's wealth if he were alive today, she said.
The Black Panther Party was an African-American radical activist organization active in the United States from 1966 until 1982.
Brown's speech at 7 p.m. Wednesday is free, but tickets are required and may be reserved by phone at 949-824-7215.
UC Irvine's Martin MLK symposium starts Monday and includes a day of community service and a volunteer fair.
The other keynote speaker is Bernard Lafayette, an educator and trainer on King's non-violent philosophy who was a leader in the 1960s civil rights movement. His speech is at 5 p.m. Thursday.

Get a pinch collar. It will stop immediately. See video below. This dog would practically drag me off my feet. There was a previous thread by Chris, I think, on use of the pinch collar.

Turn into him and bump him in the face with your outside knee.

Keep him close with the lead. Every time he pulls it tight, snatch the lead. Rattle his cage a few hundred times he will stop.
As he gets better I leave the lead on but drop it on the ground. If he gets out ahead I step on the lead.
It's also good to constantly talk to him while walking " look at me (snap fingers), good (if he is where you want him), look at me, ahh, back up" This keeps him focused on you and he begins to detect the difference in your tone as he drifts out or ahead. Keep changing directions so he learns to watch you.
Look up the Keeler method of obedience. I think that's how you spell it. Basically you hold the dog responsible for being in the right place. Lead in the opposite hand as the dog was in with some slack in that hand. If the dog goes ahead, turn the opposite direction and use the slack in the off hand to give a jerk correction. Also turn into the dog if it won't turn with you. Lead with your knee without telegraphing and walk through the dog. The dog will quickly learn its place to walk. Use minimal vocal commands. The dog should be there on its own. Remember to keep attitude up. Depending on the dog, praise for good and maybe give a few happy bumpers.

The easiest trick to use to teach thye proper heel position is to use a "belly loop" with a 6' lead. Just clip to collar, run lead along back, down and around belly and back up thru lead on his back to form a loop. Simply tug up gently on lead to apply pressure to belly and dog will back up right quick. Simple.

Consider how you might improve your handling skills and better communicate with your dog if you did not use your knee at all.

The point is Breck, you have your method and I have mine. I didn't make it up. It's not an idea. It was taught to me and I have used it on many dogs that have no problem at all with push/pull. Maybe you had a bad experience with it. I don't know. All I do know is that yet again I have stupidly not listened to the many people who have told me that trying to help someone on RTF isn't worth it. There is always a know it all with a better way. One of these days I'll learn to listen.

So, it's either "bump him in the face with your knee" or "rattle his cage a few hundred times and he will stop" or tie a leash around his belly?
Surely we can do better than this?

Hans Heysen 1877�1968
Hans Heysen is one of Australia's best-known artists, with a successful career extending over 70 years. He created emblematic pastoral landscapes celebrating the monumentality of the Australian gum tree, becoming the first artist to use eucalypts as a persistent subject in his art.
This exhibition traces Heysen's development from his early student days in Adelaide and Europe, to his groundbreaking paintings of the Flinders Ranges in South Australia's north, which added a new dry and sculptural vision to the Australian landscape
This survey exhibition from the Art Gallery of South Australia has been selected from the Art Gallery of South Australia's significant holdings of Heysen's work, as well as from the National Gallery of Australia's collection and those of state galleries, regional galleries and private collections across Australia.
By browsing all 82 works (many accompanied by explanatory texts) you can discover more about Hans Heysen. The works are organised by the same groupings or 'rooms' that you would view them in when visiting the exhibition.
Video transcript: Mystic morn 1904 depicts two young cows moving through a eucalyptus grove in the early morning light. The slender saplings are arranged in a rhythmic Art Nouveau pattern. Heysen painted this work soon after his return to Adelaide after studying in Europe for four years, and it reflects his new awareness of the character of the Australian bush.
In the first drawing, Group of young trees c 1904, Heysen made a tentative sketch, possibly outdoors, depicting sinuous trees and their peeling bark.
The second drawing, Study for �Mystic morn� 1904 is a densely worked compositional study for the oil painting. It shows faint grid lines dividing the image into 16 even rectangles, in preparation for transferring the design onto canvas. This was a method that Heysen used throughout his life to translate his images from drawing into painting. This compositional drawing also includes a man beside the cow on the left, showing that Heysen initially considered including a figure in the painting.
The watercolour, Study for �Mystic morn� 1904, unlike the carefully worked drawing is a freer image, painted in rich strong colours, and using the watercolour medium to capture an intense light. There are no cows in this image, and the trees are more interwoven and intertwined. This watercolour is also related to another oil painting by Heysen, showing a similar eucalyptus grove without cattle, Sunshine and shadow 1904–05 (National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne).
