120717 - Arctic Ecology - Churchill Manitoba - Launch Road Q6 - Kelsie
I am conducting a study on the relationship between willows and the large-flowered wintergreen (Pyrola grandiflora). It is known that the large-flowered wintergreen is often found growing under or near willows; assuming that the flowers use the willows for shelter, I believe that sites with greater willow cover will have a greater number of large-flowered wintergreen. I am recording the number of flowers at each site and will be estimating percent cover of willows using these Gigapan images and image analysis software. I am also recording the different types of willow found in each quadrat, as well as any other plant species present

Best of Siam 2: Saenchai beats Damien Alamos
- Written by Rian Scalia
Best of Siam 2 took place today in Paris, France, with a big fight in Saenchai PKSaenchaiMuayThaiGym taking on Damien Alamos.
Saenchai ended up cruising to a decision over Alamos. Saenchai was from all accounts in control for the whole fight. This win comes just under two weeks after Saenchai's last win, in Scotland on November 10 against Pakorn. Next up for Saenchai is a third fight with Liam Harrison on December 9 in Macau. Alamos has now lost twice in a row.
Unlike Saenchai, Farid Villaume hasn't been fighting that often. Actually, before today, he hadn't fought for two years. He faced Antuan Siangboxing (aka Antoine Pinto) and was unsuccessful in his return fight, losing a decision.
Like Saenchai, Yetkin Ozkul also fought on November 10, but in Japan and against Masaaki Noiri where he lost a decision. Ozkul lost again, this time by cut stoppage in a fight where he was getting dominated, by Saksongkram Poptheeratham. Saksongkram's stablemate, Dejrit Poptheeratham took a decision over Hicham Chaibi.
In another Thai vs. Frenchman match-up, Petasawin Seatransferry won via cut stoppage over Bobo Sacko after the fourth round. Petasawin and Sacko each dropped each other in the third round and it seems to have been a great fight by all accounts.
63kg: Saenchai PKSaenchaiMuayThaiGym def. Damien Alamos by decision.

Been there and done that (although it was longer ago than I care to admit!). I don't think you'll get much debate that this is one area where you almost always get what you pay for. If you're willing to put some work in there is a lot you can do on your own though and lots of people willing to help you out. CBSRC has their hunt test this weekend in Millen. That's not too far from you and it'd be a great chance to get to know some people from your area. You should come out and watch if you can.

There are several very good professional trainers near you, and all have had success within their areas of the sport. What makes more sense then having people give you one name over another is to go and meet with the ones within a reasonable drive from you and spend some time checking out their training and their facilities. After you do that ask people that have actually had their dogs with those trainers for their opinion, the good and the bad. The challenge you will have is of course the budget of 600 to 800 a month given that you are still in school, and that is something that you need to share with the pro when you talk to them. You are welcome to come to meet our training group in Richmond Hill where we have dogs at all levels from puppy to QAA & Derby List dogs running field trials. All of us have had dogs with different trainers, some mentioned in this thread and others not, and you can ask us and see the end product. Just be prepared to throw your share of marks for the group. Good luck.

What are your plans for the dog? I've used Stephen durrence and he has been awesome. Probably the only pro ill ever use regardless if I'm hunt testing or trailing.
It depends on what you plan to run. If you want to run HRC and the Grand you probably couldn't do better than Durrence anywhere remotely nearby. If you plan to focus on AKC hunt tests and running the Master National, I think you would be hard pressed to do better than Ray Shanks at Swamp Run Retrievers at any distance. He is in Greene county, GA.

It began with the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR). Working alongside the Dubai Government, Emirates established this reserve to protect critical desert habitat and a variety of endangered species. The DDCR was also the first conservation area officially protected in the UAE, with a constitution and environmental law dedicated to ensuring its status as a nature reserve.
The DDCR takes up a massive 225 square kilometres, or 5% of Dubai's total land area, and also includes a leading conservation-based luxury resort. In addition to protecting several endangered large mammal species such as the Arabian and scimitar-horned oryx, the DDCR is a major contributor to both local scientific research and conservation efforts.
100% of all visitor revenue from the DDCR is spent on conversation and wildlife care, with Emirates also sponsoring a dedicated conservation team of ecologists and wildlife specialists.

Excellent point Paul. I will always embrace real name changes. The real name push thread, which I occasionally bump will still be a welcome ongoing process.
Anyone who wants to dump their nonsense "handle" and post under their real name will always be welcome. I belive folks who post under their real name are taken more seriously, as they have much more "skin" in the game when they post their words as who they really are. I also believe folks who post under their real name are taken much more seriously by their peers in our special interest group called the retriever community.
One example of a place where folks like "BigEarl" still need some modification of their full real name is our brave soldiers in certain branches and divisions of the military. Some of these folks are forbidden to post as their real name, but can still add some value to our resource.

By Sarah Robinson/NEMS Daily Journal
SHANNON – Percy Maness dutifully served his country in the U.S. Navy, deploying eight times during his 20-year career.
He was in the Persian Gulf for both Iraq wars, served on four different aircraft carriers and was stationed all over the world.
"It was dangerous," he said. "People got hurt. People got killed."
Still, he said, if the Navy called him back today, he would not hesitate to return to duty. For Maness, his term in the military was more than any job could be – it was a way of life.
Settling into civilian life after so many years was a huge adjustment.
"I kind of feel sometimes like I'm not in the fight anymore," he said.
Leaving the Navy, he said, felt like being left at port, only with none of the men with whom he shared a close camaraderie.
"I felt like my ship left me out all alone," he said. "I looked back and no one was there."
Like Maness, many veterans of the U.S. armed services face a myriad of challenges after leaving active duty. Not the least of which is the struggle to find work in an already tight job market.
Most have had little, if any, career experience apart from their military service.
Veterans representative Johnny Smith at the WIN Job Center in Tupelo said servicemen and service women have a strong skill set that goes above and beyond a typical job description.
"Many – if not all – vets, if nothing else, have work ethic," Smith said.
Smith manages a federally funded initiative to help pair vets with civilian jobs through the WIN center. The federal government offers several tax incentives to businesses that hire vets through tax credits, one as much as $9,000 a year for two years per veteran hired.
The veterans program at the WIN Job Center in Tupelo offers more than just assistance in setting up interviews; it also works with veterans on resume writing, interviewing and basic computer skills.
Smith himself is retired from the military, serving more than 24 years in the U.S. Army and National Guard. He works closely with industry leaders in the area to identify employment opportunities.
Michael Hardy is a veteran Smith helped find a job through the program.
Hardy served three years in the Army and another three in the National Guard before returning home to Tunica. After several years in the Tunica County Sheriff's Department as the assistant chief, he retired to take a job in the hospitality industry on the Gulf Coast. And then Katrina hit.
Hardy relocated to the Tupelo area with no job. Smith introduced him to a position at TLD Logistics in Baldwyn. In less than three weeks he had a job and was soon promoted to a supervisor position. He now is the North Mississippi manager for TLD and does what he can to hire veterans whenever possible.
"(The WIN Job Center) really tremendously helped me," he said.
In addition to the federal programs available to veterans, the state has implemented initiatives to help put unemployed veterans to work.
"This year, 2013, was declared the year for hiring Mississippi heroes," said Adam Todd, director of the governor's job fair network.
"This is one way we can really try to help those men and women who have served us so well," he said.
According to Todd, since the Sept.11 attacks, more than 25,000 Mississippians have served in the armed forces.
On Thursday, the state will hold a job fair for veterans, their spouses and dependents at the Belden Campus of Itawamba Community College from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Todd said this is the third of three fairs held throughout the state. All 36 spots available to employers at the fair have been reserved. Todd said he is working to find more room for additional vendors.
Some employers will conduct interviews and make offers right on the spot. Others may schedule interviews for a later date.
At a similar event in Jackson, 102 job offers were made on the day of the event. The state office projects 332 participants in total will be hired by participants over the next twelve months.
"There are many organizations out there right now looking to hire vets," he said.
One Northeast Mississippi company has a particularly strong tie to the military.
General Atomics, located in the Tupelo Lee Industrial Park South, employs 12 veterans at its 60-person facility.
Percy Maness was one of the first few hired at the plant, which is working on a new aircraft launching system for the next-generation aircraft carrier for the U.S. Navy..
"I already knew that the Navy was going to do this project," Maness said.
What he didn't know was that the project would be located so close to Tupelo, where he was working as a recruiter.
In 2006, Maness was hired by General Atomics plant manager Pete Rinaldi, also a Navy man. Maness said he did not have a perfect skill set for the job at GA but that Rinaldi told him after 20 years in the military, "you're trainable."
He was right.
All of General Atomic's employees are cross-trained to work in more than one position. Maness now is a department specialist for the defense contractor.
Jerry Riley, the lead technician, said military veterans often have experience with electronics and mechanical engineering, two skills GA looks for in job applicants.
The veterans employed at the plant said they could not recall one person being laid-off since it opened in 2006.
Most of the 11 veterans interviewed by the Daily Journal said they believed the work ethic instilled through their military service was a key factor in their success in the civilian workforce.
"Growing up I had a good work ethic instilled in me," said GA employee Kelly Lyles who served four years in the Navy, "The military moved that along."
Job Fair
VETERANS, their spouses and dependents can meet employers with opportunities available at the Thursday job fair at the Belden Center of Itawamba Community College. For information visit

A simple almond-flavored dough becomes a fruit basket of sweet treats with this super-easy and super-delicious recipe!
Traditional marzipan is a mixture of almond paste, sugar and egg whites. We've made things simpler by flavoring a stiff cookie dough with almond extract.
Use marzipan fruit to decorate cakes and other baked goods. Place apricots and strawberries on top of chocolate-frosted cupcakes. Or place oranges around the edge of a frosted orange or lemon chiffon cake.
Make child's play out of this fancy cookie! Let the kids mold the cookies just as though they were playing with clay. Later they can have a fancy fruit tea party!

US FDA to probe into whether medicines such as incretin mimetics for type 2 diabetes could cause pancreatic cancer
Singapore: The US FDA is considering setting up a study, either through the agency or with the help of drug makers, to look deeper into whether medicines for type 2 diabetes, including Merck's Januvia and Bristol Myers-Squibb's Byetta, cause pancreatic cell growth that could turn cancerous.
During March 2013, there had been talks of unpublished findings that the FDA said may show pre-cancerous cellular changes in diabetics taking drugs called incretin mimetics. The FDA is reviewing the data and scientists from the agency and the companies are gathering today at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to sort it out. Representatives from companies like Merck & Co, Novo Nordisk and Bristol Myers-Squibb (BMS) would be present at the meeting.
Some FDA scientists believe that the report that arose in March didn't show a direct link to significant cancer risk. It is also believed that additional data mining of the FDA's adverse event database is unlikely to shed more light and what is needed is adequately powered, long-term epidemiological data.
Dr Robert Ratner, chief scientific and medical officer, American Diabetes Association, said that, "We need some calm heads and to look at the data and try and make some reasonable judgments out of this. We are all anxious to be sure the therapies we have available are safe, but we also want to make sure we have therapies available."
Dr Alan Moses, global chief medical officer, Novo Nordisk, said that, "Some data have been overzealously interpreted. That's a real challenge for patients out there who are taking this medicine and we have no conclusive evidence that there's a problem and they're being scared to death. I am very reassured in the data that we have. I am hoping the listeners in the room will be likewise reassured."

Been feeding Purina Pro Plan Sport 30/20 but hearing a lot about Dr. Tim's 30/20 food. Anybody every compared the two?? Are they that different?
Been feeding Purina Pro Plan Sport 30/20 but hearing a lot about Dr. Tim's 30/20 food. Anybody every compared the two?? Are they that different?
I think you can talk ingredients forever, but the only real question that matters is how the individual pup in question tries the food. Which ever food works better is the better for that situation. Any other broad statements about X being better than Y are often over reaching.
I guess I should first find if it's even possible to get Dr. Tims where I am at. I hate switching foods back and forth so i thought I would try to get some info from someone that is already feeding it.
http://www.petflow.com/explorer/brand/dr-tims heres one. heres the other http://www.chewy.com/s/dr-tims
Cool. Thanks a lot.
Makes no sense to me, People swear by purina pro plan, people swear by Dr. Tims. Thing I don't understand is that with science and technology the way it is today, there should be a definition of what ingredients are best for a working dog.
You can't just compare ingredients. Two "Chicken Meal" ingredients can be very different. One can have a very high bone/ash content and have a limited amount of the protein or amino acids you would expect from that ingredient. I think if you tried both foods, you would come to a pretty clear decision as to which has better ingredients.

Comment Re:I wouldn't (Score 1) 171
If that's a major chore for you, may I suggest investing in a test suite, so that you don't have to go through manually and test all your patches?
Yes, that would help with testing, but also multiplies the work: now you have patches and the new test suite to maintain and shepherd through upgrades.
Testing patches actually wasn't the main obstacle. The far bigger time sink was when some patched piece of functionality moved over to a different location in the codebase. Then the engineer had to go and become familiar with their changes, find how things got rearranged, and adopt the patch to the new code. That's a lot of unnecessary work just to maintain the status quo.
As for whether we needed to upgrade so frequently - yeah, we actually did. Hopefully the OP doesn't, though.

Confiamos as nossas informações mais sensíveis, privadas e pessoais às empresas que nos fornecem acceso à Internet. Coletivamente, essas empresas estão cientes das conversas online, dos comportamentos, e até das localizações de quase qualquer usuário da Internet. À medida que o público brasileiro vai conhecendo essa realidade, os usuários brasileiros da Internet ficam, com razão, preocupados com a questão da disposição das empresas em assumir uma posição a favor da privacidade e da proteção dos dados. É por isso que o InternetLab, um dos principais centros independentes de pesquisa de política de Internet no Brasil, avaliou as principais empresas brasileiras de telecomunicações, com o propósito de analisar seu compromisso com a privacidade do usuário em face de pedidos governamentais.
We entrust our most sensitive, private, and personal information to the companies which provide us access to the Internet. Collectively, these companies are privy to the online conversations, behavior, and even the location of almost every Internet user. As this reality increasingly penetrates the Brazilian public consciousness, Brazilian Internet users are justifiably concerned about which companies are willing to take a stand for their privacy and protection of personal data. That is why InternetLab, one of the leading independent research centers on Internet policy in Brazil, has evaluated key Brazilian telecommunications companies' policies to assess their commitment to user privacy when the government comes calling for their users' personal data.
The federal district court in San Francisco in EFF's National Security Letter (NSL) cases has unsealed its order from last month, which denies our clients' long-running First Amendment challenges to the NSL statute.
This is the first public decision interpreting the NSL statute since it was amended last year by the USA FREEDOM Act, and unfortunately, it's a disappointing one. Although the court previously found the statute unconstitutional, it held that Congress successfully addressed these problems by passing USA FREEDOM.
EFF and our clients disagree with this ruling, and we will be appealing it to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
How Did We Get Here?
Last month, EFF moved to intervene in a patent case in order to unseal records we believe have been improperly kept from the public. Yesterday, the court granted EFF's motion to intervene, and in doing so, rejected a troubling argument being put forth by the patent owner.
The case is Blue Spike v. Audible Magic. As we noted in our blog post last month, numerous documents, including at least three court opinions, have been completely withheld from the public. The sealed documents are highly substantive, and from what we can gather, would help the public better understand what, exactly, Blue Spike claims to have invented.
EFF has long been critical of overbroad government secrecy, which has been used to cover up everything from illegal activities to questionable legal justifications for mass surveillance.
Given that government officials default to withholding important details from the public regarding national security, we were pleasantly surprised to read a memo that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper sent to intelligence agencies last month.

ARP Solina String Synthesizer
The Solina String Synthesizer is the rare brother of the String Ensemble. Only about 100 were made, so they are very hard to find. The String Synthesizer pictured above is painted white, but they originally have a standard wood case like the Ensemble models. The String Synthesizer is basically a combination of the String Ensemble and the Arp Explorer 1. You can select between Preset sounds (trumpets, flutes, and clarinets) or make your own using the added VCO, courtesy of the Explorer. It offered way more sound editing than the String Ensemble, and was capable of more diverse sounds.

What is storm surge?
As a hurricane's winds rotate around the storm, they push the water toward the center of the hurricane creating a mound of water at the center.
This area of water becomes very dangerous as the storm reaches land because it causes flooding along the coast.
As the hurricane moves over the ocean surface the water continues to pile up.
This mound of water is unable to escape from the hurricane until it reaches land.
In areas where the ocean floor gradually slopes, the storm surge is usually bigger in the hurricane. This causes major flooding. Therefore storm surges are frequently the most devastating element of a hurricane.
There are computer models that make it possible for forecasters to predict the amount of storm surge that will affect the impacted coastal area.
The Slosh Model takes into account a storm's strength, the projected path, the shape of the land and how the ocean gets shallow. With all this information it can calculate how much storm surge a hurricane will probably cause.

|Our Environment We are stewards of wild places
|Topic Review (Newest First)
TJ said it best;
"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience [has] shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce [the people] under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." --Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:429
|Whiskey Dick
|Looks like Ted Williams and Dan Rather get there info from the same person LOL
Unfortunately Mr. Williams based his article on the "draft wild salmon policy" for the Columbia River Basin and that is not what was adopted by NOAA-Fisheries. NOAA-Fisheries final Columbia River Basin Salmon Management Plan (re: policy) was given to Judge Redden (not Judge Hogan as Mr. Williams implied, Hogan was involved only in the coastal Oregon coho case, and it only applied to one river system, not the Columbia Basin case) in the first week of July.
The final Salmon Management Plan adopted by NOAA-Fisheries made no change in the status of 25 of the 27 stocks of salmon and steelhead found in the Columbia Basin, and they remain under threatened or endangered status as before the Judge Redden ordered rewrite of the plan. One stock was recommened for delisting, that is Oregon's Deschutes River steelhead. One stock was found to need furthur study to determine if it should remain listed, that was the Grand Rhonde steelhead. And the other 25 did not have their status changed.
The Columbia Basin Salmon Policy case was also not filed in Judge Redden's federal court by the Pacific Legal Foundation (as Mr. William implied), it was filed by the Northwest Power Producers as an attempt to keep operating the Columbia River Basin dams for mazimum power production instead of mazimized fish survival.
Also, the Judge Hogan ruling applied to only a single Oregon coast river system and only applied to the coho in that river system. NOAA-Fisheries and Oregon DFW included the hatchery coho in that river in the ESA and then excluded the hatchery fish from its final conclusion that the wild coho were threatened. Judge Hogan simply ruled that if NOAA-Fisheries and Oregon DFW include hatchery coho in the ESA, they cannot then exclude them from wild fish for purposes of finding the wild coho needed the protection of listing under the ESA.
Mr. Williams should know all three of the points I mentioned herein and informed the readership of Rod & Reel of them. He did not do this and that is a mark of poor journalism. I am aware that there is a lead time of several months for any magazine going to press and that there are deadlines Mr. Williams has to meet for submission of his article. However, he should have at the very least told the readership that the policy he credited NOAA-Fisheries with propogating was only found in a memo and wasn't even an official draft of the management plan, let alone the final plan that was submitted to Judge Redden. Mr. Williams should have also told his readers that the Columbia River Basin case was decided by Judge Redden. Instead he left Redden's name completely out of the article and only mentioned Judge Hogan, which was a completely different case that had no bearing on the Columbia Basin case. Likewise, he left out the important information about the Columbia Basin case being filed by the Northwest Power Producers; instead he left his readers assume, or infer, that the case filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation was the reason why NOAA-Fisheries revisited the Columbia Basin Salmon Management Plan, despite it not having been brought by the Pacific Legal Foundation. It was very disengenuous of Mr. Williams to leave these very important facts out of his article.
So what really happened? NOAA-Fisheries made no change of status for 25 of the 27 affected stocks of salmon and steelhead leaving them listed as either threatened or endangered as they were before Judge Redden ordered NOAA-Fisheries to review and rewrite the Columbia Basin Salmon Recovery Plan. One stock, the Deschutes steelhead were recommended for delisting. On stock, the Grand Rhonde steelhead were recommended to be considered for possible delisting. This is hardly the wholesale screwing of the fish Mr. Williams said was happening.
And in the Oregon coastal coho case of Judge Hogan, Oregon DFW and NOAA-Fisheries simply need to list that river's wild and hatchery fish in serarate catagories in order to meet the requirements of Judge Hogan's ruling to have the wild coho in that particular river system re-listed under the ESA.
As to the Sacramento River case brought by the CA Central Irrigation District and farmers that asked the federal court to include wild resident rainbow trout in its count of steelhead in the Sacramental River and its tributaries where steelhead are found in order to show that there was an abundance of "wild rainbow trout (and steelhead)". Thus, removing the wild steelhead from being listed as threatened. The Judge in this case ruled that resident rainbow trout and steelhead were sufficiently different in morphology and behavior to be considered different fish. Mr. Williams also left out the fact in the Sacramento River case that NOAA-Fisheries argued wild steelhead were different from resident rainbow trout. Mr. Williams left this paragraph's very improtant information out of his article as well. Yes, I am aware that the ruling in this Sacramento River case didn't come until July and that was probably after Mr. Williams' deadline for the current issue of Rod & Reel; however, he should have been honest enough to tell his readers that the case hadn't been ruled on and that NOAA-Fisheries argued resident rainbows and steelhead were different fish, which should never be considered together when deciding on the numbers of steelhead in a river system.
Mr. Williams was a very un-professional journalist in this article of his in Rod & Reel simply because he left out very improtant information about where the cases were, what was happening in them, when rulings were expected to be made, and that NOAA-Fisheries has to comply with the rulings of two federal judges. Also, he left out the very important fact that the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Judge Hogan was correct in his ruling in the Oregon coastal coho case, which means that NOAA-Fisheries and Oregon DFW will have to make sure not to include the number of hatchery fish in the river when deciding if a wild coho stock needs the protection or threatened or endangered listing status.
Mr. Williams has a huge readership across the country composed of people who are concerned about the environment and the health of fish stocks, many of whom tell others what they read (or "learned") in his articles; therefore, he has a duty to accurately inform the readership of Rod & Reel, and in this case he did not do so. Instead, he left out important information that leads readers to infer or assume NOAA-Fisheries is abandoning wild fish protection, which is not true. And he also wrote his article, supposedly based upon all the facts, in a manner designed to inflame and anger sportsmen all the while either outright blaming or inferring it was the current administration's plan to abandon protection of salmon and steelhead in the Pacific Northwest.
If any one doubts...
the role of this administration in the recent rulings from NOAA Fisheries and the dams, hatchery vs. wild, etc. and conservation issues in general, read Ted William's recent article in Fly Rod and Reel. It's laid out quite well, in how the administration has influenced the current chain of events, and what exactly may be up their sleeves. scary as hell.... The part that scares me the most - the observation that given the current interpretation by NOAA Fisheries of the rulings and its latest BiOp (biological opinion), that NOAA Fisheries could determine that resident rainbow trout in the Columbia River Basin system could be counted as steelhead, because "genetically", they're the same/similar enough critter...
I also like the observation of setting up the rules and regs to be "sued" by the administrations chief contributors to make it appear the courts are the bad guys, rather than the administration... Just like the Roadless Rule.....
While in November, we MAY indeed be looking at a story of the lesser of two evils, it is still very clear to me there is a definite lesser evil between the two contenders, and I'll take that over the current administration any day... Did I just show my cards??? Oh well...
I vote for people of nearly all parties because I always vote on the basis of all the issues important to me that any given candidate supports and has voted for in the past. And I really do not like the federal court decision that ordered WA State to change it non-partisan primary elections either. I much the old and now federal court deemed illegal primary system WA State had until this year. I detest having to decide on a single party's primary ballot to vote in the primary. In other words, I am an old fashioned independent who would like to see more than 2 major political parties; but alas, the US has had a two party system since the 1790's and recent lawsuits filed in federal courts in various states to keep Ralph Nader off the general election ballad is detestable in my opinion.
The above said, I also detest both the property destruction/violence of the ELF and the use of the federal courts by the PLF (and others groups both on the left and the right) to get law and policy changed through caveat. The law change should be done through the legislative process and policy change should be done through the agencies involved, not through the courts or the violence or property distruction of groups from either the far right or the far left, and on this I think we agree.
And lest we forget, it was two federal judges that ruled NOAA-Fisheries had to change what they were doing, not the agency, not the president, not the legislative bodies, and not the political parties.
You are correct about the need for those of us who care about forests, rivers, fish, and wildlife to stay informed and vote for those who are consevationists. Otherwise, sportsfishers, hunters, hikers, campers, and boaters will see continued depletion of the resource. However, neither major party has a monopoly on promoting conservation, there are poor conservationists in each party and those who are good conservationists in each as well. We should vote for the candidate, not the party, again I think we agree on this too.
This is what my posts herein have been about, the need for us to look at what the candidates for state and federal office in our various districts are for and what they have voted for before and not because a candidate is a member of a particular political party. Since the candidate either represents our views or doesn't and the candidate is the one who introduces and votes for or against legislation and for or against approval of federal judge appointment, the candidate (not the party, who doesn't get to do these things) is the important thing to keep in mind when voting.
Rooster -
You're right, leave ANY decision to the government, whether it be a state or federal legislative body, and you'll not be happy with the results... at that level, every problem can be fixed with a 5lb sledge hammer and a lot of ignorance... as an employee of the federal government, i "appreciate" that fact all to well...
As far as the G-5's, was able to replace mine on eBay, still haven't seen a pre-98 there, nor with the contacts i've made in my search. will keep an eye out for you...
As you know I have great respect for at least a 2 party system. Without it we have nothing. If you vote republican that is your choice, fine. But do you see the immense changes in the republican party over the last 20 years that are totally anti conservation and environment. Not saying that the democrats are much better but at least we moved forward ever so slowly. Over the last 4 years with congress and the senate controled by this new republican agenda we have lost so much hard won ground that was won by republicans and demercrats alike over the last 40 years. When groups like the Pacific Legal Foundation and other far too conservative groups that are backed by those that believe in profit at any cost have the full ear of the administration we are in trouble. You republicans need to bring your party back into the main. Groups like the PLF are as extreme right as groups like Earth liberation Front are left. The Dems would never invite such groups as ELF into deal making why has your party gone so right? And please don't tell me that there is a big difference between two such groups because ELF uses violence and PLF uses its money to fight in court and to influence the pols. Both ways create violence against the enviroment and we in the main stream of things get screwed once again.
So I ask you and any other who will vote republican this election are you concerned about where your party has gone on the environment?
Hey Fieger,
Just to let you know I am still trying to find the G-5!!! One post '98 for you and one pre '98 for me!
Don't know what the correct party is for the fish and people, but I've worked on enough resource issues over the past 28 years to know that if we hope for a political answer to a biological question...., you won't like the answer!!
Tight line,
Don't disagree with pretty much everything you've said...
However, when things have essentially changed little in the better part of the last 15 years in the management of the Snake River and Columbia River dams, besides some barging and attempts at flushing, w/ no real effective improvement in spawning habitats, rearing habitats, etc. (at a basin level scale), and yet you see these changes in population, both in the positive, and in the negative, you have to start looking at the factors that are changing. And Ocean conditions has been a huge one. El Nino/La Nina affects are well documented on anadromous fisheries, and where they end up during their ocean expeditions, as well as their succesfull rearing, or lack there of. Am I saying that none of the other stuff matters? Most certainly not. The larger issue behind decline in stocks, listed species, etc. isn't the population sizes (cause hatcheries "prove", more or less, that we can affect that in the positive), but the loss of the unique genetic material in each run. As populations decline, bottle necks form, with an increased risk of the loss of the genetic material, if we have a series of declining run years. The Redfish Lake Sockeye is an excellent example of that. Only a handful of fish returned, with documented significant loss of returning adults through the columbia and snake river dams. some where around 80-90% of the adults that passed Bonneville didn't make it to the spawning grounds in the upper Salmon. With a run of 250,000, not such a big deal. But with a run of 120, all the sudden a very big deal. Again, if we were dealing with native runs in the hundreds of thousands IN EACH stream system, local conditions, dams, harvest wouldn't be such a big deal. But because we aren't, and essentially every fish counts that can make it back continuing the propogation of that valuable genetic material, those factors do become important... All things are cumulative, and no, removing the dams won't solve all our problems, but it's one of many factors that could have been address, and incrementally improved runs and reduced risks of extinction. In the case of the dams, I believe those would have been some HUGE increments!
As far as the politics? don't disagree with you there, for the most part. But before comparing politicians and parties of yester-year to today, note that it was a republican that enacted much of the best conservation legislation to date (Richard Nixon), and more importantly, a republican of yester-year is not the same republican now, and neither are the dem's. Yesteryear's Dixie-crats are this year's republicans and vice versa. As far as the influence, I think it's significant, because the rules, regs, special orders, etc. that they set in place (and this includes both the executive and the legislative branches) sets the tone for how resource issues are addressed. The Roadless Rule, under the Clinton Administration, is a perfect example. That rule has SIGNIFICANTLY influenced the direction and management of USFS lands in the western US. And so has W's unwillingness to support it now. Those rulings, and lack there of, direct and influence activities on the ground, and where the money goes to do it. With dam removal "taken off the list", the various resource management agencies, etc. will no longer look to that option, and instead, spend their money and efforts elsewhere. I hope they're as successful as they think they are going to be, but recent history indicates to me their anticipated success is a far cry from what will be reality.
I agree that we, as concerned conservationist, must keep our eye on all the factors. We would have been fools to think that the moratorium, had it stood, would be the salvation of native stocks in western Washington. That would have been a damn good step (and it's not like "we" didn't get a step forward in the final outcome, tho not nearly as large) in the right direction, but much more needs to be done. so to with the Columbia River and Snake River systems, etc.
so is this argument circular or what??? damn, i need to get my stolen gear replaced and get back on the river!!!
I'm going to play devil's advocate with this. If run size is mostly dependent on ocean conditions, doesn't this then mean that it matters little what our fisheries managers do since the major factor would be ocean conditions over which they have no control. And by extension of the ocean condition factor, does it not also mean that it matters not how many wild fish are harvested, since their abundance would likewise be dependent on ocean conditions?
What I'm saying is we have to be careful saying the major factor is ocean conditions, hatchery production, wild fish harvest, dams, tribal netting in the rivers, etc. The truth is that all of these are factors is the size or abundance of fish runs. We also must not forget that when a run is depleted to near extinction (like the Snake River sockeye were), it takes a long time for the run to rebound, if it ever does.
My point is that one must take all factors into consideration and not put most of the blame on one of them. And before someone accuses me of being in favor of dams, I am not. In fact, I'd like to see all of the Columbia River dams, Snake River Dams, and any other dams that prevent anadromous fish from getting to their historic spawning grounds torn down or breeched and have federal legislation preventing the building of any dam that would prevent anadromous fish from reaching their spawning grounds.
However, the dams have already been built and there is little indication that the feds (or states for that matter) will require them to be torn down. Therefore, we have to learn how to advocate for the fish without the dams coming down. Remember, the Columbia River and Snake River dams were sited and approved for building during the tenure of self-identified conservationist administrations of a different political party than is now in office. We must also keep in mind that Congress also plays a huge part in how dams are run or where they are built or if they will be torn down or breached since they appropriate the money for these things, and the party that was in control of Congress when the Columbia and Snake River dams were built was not the party of the current adminstration. Then you must also add to this the federal courts and various rulings they have made, which also affect fish management and operation of the dams.
The truth is that neither major political party or their appointed department heads or nominated judges has been very good conservationists during the last 70 years.
Link - Replace....
Feds with Conservative Republican Legislators, and your analogy is pretty damn good. More so than you may realize. Flytyer is correct in that NOAA Fisheries has not come out and said they are the same fish, however, this administration, and much of the conservative legislative base that is really pressing this issue believe there is no difference. "If they swim like a fish, smell like a fish, and taste like a fish, they must be the same fish..." or so the thought goes. And like it or not, that same administration and legislative cohort has impressed A LOT of influence on the current stance at NOAA. To those who believe otherwise, grab one's ears, pull one's head out, and soon... In NOAA Fisheries recent BO on the Columbia River/Snake River stocks, you are seeing the heavy influence of industry and municipalities "dependent" upon the Snake River Dams (and all those on the Columbia as well) weighing in heavily on the outcome. Welcome to politics and Government. For better or worse, it's the reality that human needs (and likely human greed) will always way in heavily when it comes to public resources, whether it be fish, federal lands, air, water, or the like. And with an administration that is sympathetic to the conservative base, those views will weigh in even more heavily... There are simply those people, either ignorant enough or blinded by their own needs and desires, who will discount the value of things wild if it means their pocket book is affected. What's worse, many of them seem to have little concience when it comes to spilling the B.S. to support their weak position. The idea that because runs of recent have been generally good as being an indicator of the "success" and "compatibility" of the Columbia Basin hydroelectric system and it's management is ludicrious (it's the oceans, stupid), but they've bought into it, hook, line, and sinker (or is that a Jock Scott I see in the corner of their over-sized maw's?!?! ). They've bought into it because it SEEMS to support their contention. Never mind the Redfish Lake sockeye run is still in peril and hasn't seen the improvements in runs... Something to ponder---if the runs have been so good WITH the dams in place, imagine what they WOULD have been had the dams NOT been there!!!
I still keep hoping for a regime change in November, hopefully then we'll see some kinder, gentler and more rational management of this valued resource...
Don't forget to VOTE!!!!
The feds didn't say hatchery and wild fish were genetically identical. A federal judge in Oregon said that the feds must count both hatchery and wild fish when making a decision to list or not list a rivers salmon run if the feds did not establish that there were clear genetic differences between the hatchery and wild fish. NOAA Fisheries has simply responsed to the judge's order on the river the case was about.
The feds have not said there is no difference between hatchery and wild fish. They have said in the new wild fish policy, which was forced by another Oregon federal judge named Redden, that if there is little genetic difference found between a hatchery stock and wild stock in a particular river, they will be managed as if they were equivalent fish. This is very diffferent that sayiing that wild and hatchery fish are genetically identical. And it only applies to those runs on those rivers where it has been through science that there is very little difference between the hatchery and wild fish of a particular species.
In fact, in response the Jude Redden' ruling, NOAA-Fisheries kept all of the Columbia river stocks of salmon and steelhead listed except for the Deschutes steelhead. I fail to see how this indicates the feds have said or decided that hatchery and wild fish are genetically identical.
|Also dams are fine for searun fish, judging by recent hatchery returns
Genetically Identical
In regards to the Feds new ploy to count hatchery fish the same as wild ones, the simile that comes to mind is: I can take a T bone steak out to my barbecue, get the coals just right and grill it to medium rare perfection or have the Feds cook it for me by boiling it in a pail of soapy dish water. What the heck, they're both genetically identical!

Chargers grind out win over Andrew Luck, Colts
SAN DIEGO - Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers slowly put to rest all that talk about Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts' offense.
It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline.
Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night.
Rivers methodically moved the Chargers (3-3) on three scoring drives of at least 74 yards as he rebounded from a three-interception performance in a dismal loss at Oakland.
That, and a lot of dropped passes by Colts receivers, kept Indianapolis (4-2) from taking a two-game lead over Tennessee in the AFC South.
A week earlier, Luck helped rally the Colts to a 34-28 victory against Seattle.
He had no chance against the Bolts because of two long drives in the second quarter that helped contribute to the Chargers dominating the time of possession 38 minutes, 31 seconds to 21:29.
Allen got behind safety Delano Howell and cornerback Vontae Davis on a post route for the TD, completing a 12-play, 74-yard march that took 6:14 and gave San Diego a 7-3 lead. It was Allen's second TD catch of the season.
Novak's first field goal capped a drive that went 79 yards in 17 plays in 7:58. The drive was kept alive when cornerback Greg Toler was whistled for illegal contact for pushing receiver Lavelle Hawkins out of bounds on third-and-6 from the Chargers 45.
Luck then completed four straight passes to move the Colts into Chargers territory before Coby Fleener dropped a pass at the 25. Luck scrambled for 6 yards and threw an incompletion before Adam Vinatieri kicked a 50-yard field goal as time expired.
On the Colts' only other possession of the second quarter, Darrius Heyward-Bey dropped what likely would have been a long touchdown pass down the right sideline.
Novak also had field goals of 33, 34 and 50 yards, with the final one coming with 1:55 left. Vinatieri finished with three field goals.
Chargers cornerback Derek Cox snuffed out Indy's final chance when he intercepted a pass that was tipped by receiver Reggie Wayne with 1:07 to play.
Rivers was 22 of 33 for 237 yards and no interceptions. Luck was 18 of 30 for 202 yards.
Wayne got his 1,000th career reception in the fourth quarter.
San Diego established its running game with 147 yards. Ryan Mathews ran for 102 yards on 22 carries, his first 100-yard game of the season.
There were family ties in this one: Chargers defensive coordinator John Pagano beat older brother Chuck, the Colts' coach.
"Give John Pagano the credit he deserves," Chargers coach Mike McCoy said. "He did an outstanding job of getting these players ready. It's him and the rest of the whole defensive staff."
NOTES: Chargers WR Eddie Royal left with a toe injury in the second quarter but returned later in the game. ... Chargers LG Johnnie Troutman was injured in the second half and also returned. ... Colts ILB Jerrell Freeman sustained a concussion in the first half.

Wilhelm Richard Wagner was born May 22, 1813, in Leipzig, Saxony (Germany), and died February 13, 1883, in Venice, Italy. He composed his opera Der fliegende Holländer (both libretto and music) in 1840-41, and revised it through 1860. The opera was premiered January 2, 1843, at the Royal Saxon Court Theatre in Dresden, with the composer conducting and Johann Michael Wächter in the title role. It reached the United States on November 8, 1876, when it was given in Italian at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. The San Francisco Symphony has played excerpts from the work several times, first performing the Overture in March 1912. These are the first San Francisco Symphony performances of the aria "Die Frist ist um." In this aria, the bass-baritone is accompanied by two flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, harp, and strings. Performance time: about ten minutes.
Wotan's Farewell and the Magic Fire Music are extracted from Die Walküre, which Wagner wrote between June 1854 and March 1856. The opera was premiered June 26, 1870, at the National Theatre in Munich, with Franz Wüllner conducting and bass-baritone August Kindermann as Wotan. The American premiere took place April 2, 1877, at the Academy of Music in New York City. Alfred Hertz conducted the first San Francisco Symphony performances of Wotan's Farewell and the Magic Fire Music with soloist Josef Schwartz in February 1924. The bass-baritone is joined here by an orchestra comprising three flutes and piccolo (third flute also doubling piccolo), three oboes and English horn, three clarinets and bass clarinet, three bassoons, eight horns, three trumpets and bass trumpet, four trombones, tuba, two timpani, cymbals, triangle, glockenspiel, bells, two harps, and strings. Performance time: about eighteen minutes.
Richard Wagner has been one of the most-discussed figures of cultural history ever since he began putting his emphatic stamp on the esthetic world of the mid-nineteenth century. He has been decried as the end of the musical tradition as it was known and loved, and revered as the wellspring of artistic modernity and a visionary whose conceptions continue to fuel the avant-garde.
It is marvelous to think that such strong opinions swirl around a composer who is known to modern music-lovers almost exclusively through ten compositions, all of them operas: Der fliegende Holländer (premiered in 1843), Tannhäuser (1845), Lohengrin (1850), Tristan und Isolde (1865), Die Meistersinger (1868), Das Rheingold (1869), Die Walküre (1870), Siegfried (1876), Götterdämmerung (1876), and Parsifal (1882). Certainly they do not represent the entirety of Wagner's creative output. Apart from these operas he wrote three others (early works rarely visited today) and about a hundred further pieces, not all of them complete or extant, for various vocal and/or instrumental forces. And then there is his literary oeuvre to contend with, a numbingly extensive outpouring of essays and other prose works, many of them bizarre and contradictory in their content.
Wagner's career charted a long artistic path that ended far from where it began. His earliest operas amalgamated more-or-less standard traditions of German Romantic Opera (as codified in the works of Carl Maria von Weber, Heinrich Marschner, and others) and French Grand Opera (a large-scale enterprise typified by Giacomo Meyerbeer and his contemporaries in Paris). As Wagner's career progressed, he moved increasingly toward realizing his ideal of a Gesamtkunstwerk, a work synthesized from disparate artistic disciplines, including music, literature, the visual arts, ballet, and architecture. The operas of Wagner's maturity are so distinct in this way that they are often referred to not as operas at all, but rather as "music dramas," in an attempt to underscore the singularity of his esthetic goals. Nonetheless, Wagner was not averse to extracting sections from these closely woven works to present apart from their operatic context, and on various occasions he conducted such excerpts as standalone concert works.
Der fliegende Holländer (The Flying Dutchman) was Wagner's fourth completed opera and the earliest to stake a claim in the ongoing repertory. He considered it his first work to adequately reflect his aspirations. "The period during which I worked in obedience to the dictates of my inner intuitions began with The Flying Dutchman," he would write to his friend August Röckel in 1856. Working from Heinrich Heine's Aus den Memoiren des Herren von Schnabelewopski (a retelling of an earlier legend), Wagner wrote the three acts of the opera's libretto and music between May 1840 and November 1841, but he returned to revise it in 1846, 1852, and 1860. Set along the Norwegian coast, it is a moody Romantic story about an unnamed Dutchman who is doomed to sail the seas, touching land only once every seven years, with his eternal cycle never to end until he is redeemed by a faithful woman. During one of his shore leaves he has the good luck to encounter Senta, who happens to be obsessed with the "Dutchman legend," and he proposes marriage. Her erstwhile boyfriend makes a last play for her affections, and the Dutchman, overhearing the boyfriend's proclamations of love, believes that Senta has betrayed him. He sets out to sea, but Senta proves her faithfulness by hurling herself off a cliff in the direction of his boat, after which she and the Dutchman ascend to heaven in an embrace of loving fidelity. (That women should sacrifice themselves to redeem their long-suffering men-folk seems to have been a natural expectation within Wagner's world-view.)
In his autobiography, Wagner described how this opera coalesced in his imagination during a stormy sea crossing from Riga to London in July and August 1839, and particularly how he was inspired by the shouts of the crew that echoed against the granite walls of Norwegian fjords: "The sharp rhythm of this call clung to me like a consoling augury and soon shaped itself into the theme of the [Norwegian] sailors' song in my Flying Dutchman. Already at that time I was carrying around with me the idea of this opera and now, under the impressions I had just experienced, it acquired a distinct poetic and musical color." Presumably this experience accounts for Wagner's moving the opera's setting from the coast of Scotland to the coast of Norway, a change he affected only a few weeks prior to the premiere. This may have also been meant to put some distance between Wagner's work and a parallel version, composed by the now obscure Pierre-Louis Dietsch, that opened in Paris just as Wagner's rehearsals got underway in Dresden. Wagner himself was living in or near Paris when he wrote this work, hoping to make an impression in the city's opera world but, in the end, failing to be anything but penurious and ignored.
The aria "Die Frist ist um," which falls in Act I, introduces the Dutchman. He broods mournfully on his fate. He has reached the moment in his eternal cycle when, after a seven-year spell at sea, he again heads to shore. He explains (in the portion beginning "Wie oft in Meeres tiefsten Schund," recalling music heard in the work's famous overture) how he has tried to break the cycle. He has hurled himself into the sea and driven his ship onto rocks, but death always eludes him. He addresses his anguish to heaven in a broadly paced passage, marked maestoso, beginning "Dich frage ich"; and at "Nur eine Hoffnung" he laments that his only hope of salvation is the end of the world itself.
Die Walküre is the second opera in the gigantic operatic tetralogy known as Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung). Taken as a whole it is surely the most imposing work in the canon of classical music: Wagner labored over it from 1848 until 1874, taking time out to write Tristan und Isolde and Die Meistersinger along the way, and in the end its four pieces together would run some fifteen hours. That doesn't count the intermissions and other respites that are most assuredly required in live performances, which invariably occupy four separate evenings typically scheduled within several days of one another.
Wagner turned to medieval Germanic-Nordic legends for his material, most specifically to a group of Icelandic eddas and sagas, an Old Norse prose narrative, and the Middle High German epic Das Nibelungenlied. He processed this material through his own ultra-Romantic sensibilities to yield a highly stylized, in no way colloquial text that evoked its ancient roots while rendering it captivating to mid-nineteenth-century audiences. He was nothing if not confident. In a letter to Theodor Uhlig, one of his closest friends and supporters, he spoke of his libretto-in-progress: "The whole will become—out with it! I am not ashamed to say so—the greatest work of poetry ever written."
Trying to briefly summarize the interwoven plot threads of the Ring cycle is an exercise in futility, but for present purposes let us say that a central strand involves the waning power of the god Wotan. He has a bevy of daughters, the Valkyries, who careen through the air on their flying steeds, and the most forceful of them is Brünnhilde. He loves her the most, but when she disobeys him—she sways the outcome of combat between two adversaries in the wrong direction—it is his duty to punish her. In Act III of Die Walküre, he strips her of her Valkyriehood and condemns her to sleep on a remote mountaintop, where she will be prey to whatever man might stumble across her. She begs him to at least spare her the shame of such an assault, and pleads for him to surround her with a circle of fire that can be broached by only the bravest hero. He consents, places her on a mossy tuft, and kisses her eyes to induce slumber. We are far along in the story by this time, and the music recalls incidents of the past by summoning up melodies ("leitmotifs") that had been associated with them. Brünnhilde falls asleep to a melodic contour that rises by a sixth and then settles (mostly stepwise) back down to the tonic note—the leitmotif of Magic Sleep, which will be heard a great deal through the end of the opera.
Now Wotan sings his heart-rending Farewell ("Leb' wohl, du kühnes, herrliches Kind"), in which he describes the blaze of fire that will protect her until its flames shall be breached by "one freer than I, the God." Emotions race through his heart as he remembers happier times with his daughter. He cradles her as he builds to his final, grief-stricken kiss, where the harmony moves in a mysterious shimmer: "For thus the God leaves you, thus he kisses the godliness from you!" She sinks into deepest sleep, accompanied by the appropriate musical leitmotif. Now Wotan makes good on his promise. He summons Loge, God of Fire, directing him to blaze in a circle around Brünnhilde. The orchestra giddily portrays the flames as they spring up, and, after watching a while, Wotan sings out one final declaration: "He who shrinks before my spear shall never pass through the fire!" He leaves, knowing that he has done the best he could to protect his beloved but disobedient child, and, as the opera ends, the orchestra bathes the glittering flames in a texture of glowing warmth.

By Michaela Gibson Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – His hair hasn't gone gray yet, but Paco is hanging up his badge after six years of tracking suspects, sniffing out drugs and finding the lost.
The Tupelo police dog didn't get a fancy collar or a steak dinner upon his retirement, but he was recognized before the City Council last Tuesday. A fancy collar or a big meal wouldn't mean much to the 81⁄2-year-old black Belgian Malinois, said his handler, Tupelo Police K9 Officer Jay Johnson. Paco's favorite thing is a big ball on the rope.
"I'll throw it, and he'll bring it back," Johnson said. "It's all about the toy."
Over the course of his career, Paco has done it all – searching out controlled substances, apprehending suspects and finding the lost. In addition to helping the police department execute narcotics search warrants and narcotics arrests, Paco's credited with tracking down four armed robbery suspects, four business burglary suspects and six residential burglary suspects, one mentally ill person who had wandered away from home and one disoriented vehicle crash victim.
"He's one of the best tracking dogs we've got," said Johnson, who noted that some of Paco's tracks have gone for more than a mile. "Tracking is what he likes."
Paco was originally trained by Lt. Stacy Walker, who now oversees North Mississippi Narcotics. He's been with Johnson for about a year, as Johnson learned the ropes as a K9 officer.
"He knew what his job was," said Johnson, who has started working with a young dog for the Tupelo department. "That makes it a lot easier on a new handler."
Paco taught him how to watch for subtle shifts in a dog's body language during a track, Johnson said.
"You know when you're getting close to a suspect by the way the dog reacts," Johnson said.
Paco, who will live out his retirement with Johnson's family, has a softer side off duty. He's a favorite of Johnson's 5-year-old daughter Kiley.
"My little girl loves him to death," Johnson said. "He's great with her."
Sadly, Paco may not have much time to enjoy retirement. Paco has developed congestive heart failure, which precipitated his retirement.
"He's still got the desire to go and do," but he's not as energetic as he once was, Johnson said.

thankssaw the code snippet, there was some comment about the right boot loader ! what is the right boot loader ? I use the Arduino IDE, is that the right boot loader ?
I have the off the shelf Arduino IDE, program via the ide / code on the standard arduino boards, standard boards etc,
do we have an example design I can download, modify and use ?
are you saying I need a different set of boot loader and programer for the arduino ?
to answer an earlier comment, I like the mega, and I have the official IDE that comes from the arduino web site, as in herehttp://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
would be nice if there was an example I could use, same as we have examples for things like lcd's in the ide.

I uploaded these examples in my arduino mega 2560 and was a fight to get remove them.

A line to enable it. A line to pat the dog. Seems to me to be supported.And if they release a different processor, they adjust those functions to support the new processor. It seems done to me.

This lovely bungalow in the heart of Old Towne had a large but modern kitchen (with honey-colored cabinetry, granite and stainless steel appliances). Although it was functional, it really did not fit the 1920's style of the home.
So, we were called in to turn it back to as close to what a 1920's kitchen would look like, but with a few mid-century retro touches (Big Chill appliances and checkered flooring).
The resulting look is fantastic and a much better fit for a classic 1920's Craftsman bungalow home.

@kilgore Done, thanks for pointing out id missed it!
Hiya Wjh31, I just checked out your profile and: Welcome to gigapan.org!This image caught my eye because I have taken many gigapans of Bath eg: www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id= 8792. I notice you don't always geocode your images. I think it is well worth the effort because most gigapans look a lot better in Google Earth than in a browser. I think it is also helpful for people who don't know the place where the image is taken (eg those from a different country) to see where it was taken at a glance. Just my 2p,
