Duniacare - Carita Beach.The Carita Beach for great family holiday.A vast stretch of white sandy beach decorated with rows of sheltering trees and the magnificent view of the Krakatau volcano on the horizon, that is what awaits at Carita Beach. Situated pleasantly on the shoreline facing the Sunda Straits at the western end of Java Island, in the Pandeglang regency, in the province of Banten, this indulging beach is only a three hours' drive away from the bustling capital city of Jakarta.
Here nature graciously offers some of her best features, from the majestic sunrise beyond the hills of Mount Aseupan Pandeglang all the way to the romantic sunset on the horizon over the sea. The various planktons on the surface of the sea would glitter under the brightest moonlight radiating a beautiful scenery. When the young Anak Krakatau is active, its spewing burning lava offers a fascinating scene unlikely to be easily found elsewhere.
With relatively calm waves, anyone can enjoy swimming safely and conveniently along the beach. For a different sensation mixing swimming and surfing, visitors can try the swim boards rented at many spots along the beach at a very affordable price. The beach is also a perfect place for various funs and exciting water rides such as the Jetski and Banana Boats.
As a tourist destination, Carita Beach has complete supporting facilities that range from an extensive parking lot, restrooms, tourist information center, children playgrounds, shelters, swimming pools, sunbathing area, excellent communication and internet networks, and professional lifeguards to ensure safety and convenience. There are also renting facilities for diving and fishing equipment. For accommodation options, there is a wide range of hotels and inns available nearby.
While the beach offers enough reasons to visit, Carita boasts another attraction which lies in the forest area. Established as a protected forest in 1975, the 95 hectares forest area is a sanctuary to various flora and fauna. Among some of the animal dwellere here are the long-tailed monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), the lutung ape (Tachypitechus auratus), giant lizards (Varanus salvator), Python snakes (Phyton sp), wild boars (Susvitatus), bats, eagles (Falco moluccensis), hawks (Spilornis cheela), and various other bird species. The vegetation found here include teak (Tectona grandis), Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla), African Mahogany (Swietenia khaya antoteca), and Bungur (Lagerstromia speciosa).
Located not too far from the capital city of Jakarta, offering magnificent sceneries and a wide range of activities fit for every age, and supported with all the necessary facilities, Carita Beach is a perfect vacation spot for the entire family.
Since Carita beach is located on the main road on the northern coast of Java, you can rent a car from Jakarta or take a public bus in the direction of Labuan. Taking approximately 2.5-3 hours drive, take the Anyer toll road and continue on the Carita main road. Alternately you can take these routes:
Jakarta-Serang-Anyer- Carita Beach (Approximate distance 170Km)
Jakarta-Serang-Palima-Batukuwung- Carita Beach (Approximate distance 160Km)
Jakarta-Serang-Pandeglang-Labuan-Carita Beach (Approximate distance 160Km)
Bogor-Rangkas Bitung- Pandeglang- Labuan- Carita beach (Approximate distance 150Km)
Think to Do
Carita Beach offers a wide range of activities for everybody of every age. On its soft white sands, you can play Beach Volley, Beach Futball, building sand castles, or simply just lie down and enjoy the indulging sunshine. Swimming, Jet skiing, and banana boat rides, are some of the exciting activities that you can have as you jump in the clear blue water. As the sun descends in the afternoon, get ready to witness one of nature's greatest performances of a fascinating sunset.
Heading even further off the coast, fishing enthusiasts can enjoy the sensation of reeling the big fish of the Sunda Strait. Or, for an up close and personal experience with the dwellers below the surface of the Sunda strait you can dive into the marine park.
For an alternate activity, venture into the conservation forest of Carita for a totally different experience.
As one of the prime tourist destinations in the province of Banten, Carita Beach comes with a wide selection of accommodation options including hotels, cottages, villas, homestays, and inns. There is also a spacious camping ground inside the conservation forest for those who wish to set up tents. For a selection of hotels with websites, click Find a hotel.

NFL Barometer Wk-4
Posted By Steven Keys On Sep 28 2012 @ 3:25 pm In NFL | 3 Comments
Not So Fast, football America. The regular referees are back in business but there are grades to be handed out in wake of 'Replacement-Ref Whine-fest 2012.'
Roger & The Regulars: B
Denying anyone who's not employed in public safety the right to use all leverage in negotiating a contract (strike) would be un-American. Unfortunately, the regulars have now been vested with special status of indispensability by the same cry-babies who ragged on 'em before their strike, bitched about the replacements during, and will piss & moan again in Wk-4.
When the firestorm over Monday night's controversial "simultaneous catch" call flared-up this week, both the Commissioner and strikers contained the blaze by acting with due speed. And if you think the new referee deal was a result of poor job performance by the replacement referees, you need to pull your head out of…the sand. Most likely it was serious concern over the safety of the replacements that proved primary motivation for compelling both parties back to the bargaining table to hammer-out an agreement.
Fresh in their minds may've been recent tragic events in Libya and the Middle East, triggered by parties using YouTube to fuel the fires of ignorance & violence. With anger over the disputed Hail Mary call that ended the Packers v. Seahawks MNF contest rising rapidly during the week and becoming a national embarrassment, coupled with knowledge that more touchy-calls would result in Wk-4 games, those professionals in security who monitor such situations must've been speculating about dangerous acts that nut-jobs might undertake.
Replacement Referees: B+
These guys head home wondering why they ever took such a thankless job. It couldn't be the pay. Roger Goodell's apology-in-appeasement notwithstanding, the replacements, as imperfect as they were, deserve commendations just for taking the field.
Golden Tate of the Seattle Seahawks: "The Man with the Golden Arm." The left one, to be exact. It's pretty well hidden from view in the film-replay of the infamous Hail Mary, but either his left arm and / or hand are initially on that football, simultaneously with Mr. Jennings (Packers), or it disappeared into the 4th dimension like "Tina" did in that classic Twilight Zone ("Little Girl Lost" / 1962). It's one, or the other. Take your pick.
As for Mr. Tate shoving a Packers' defender just before the ball arrived, don't forget the first rule of end-game drama: never let a referee's call decide the outcome. Before Thursday night's Browns / Ravens contest, where the just-back regulars were extra cautious and playing-it-safe with Cleveland's game-ending Hail Mary (flag), the regulars would've followed precedent on MNF, just like the replacements: no-call on the shove.
The precedent here is on point: Dallas Cowboys v. Minnesota Vikings, Metropolitan Stadium, 1975 NFC playoffs. This is the original game-winning Hail Mary. It came from Cowboys' QB Roger Staubach and involved another decisive push-down by receiver Drew Pearson of a Vikings' defender. Difference is, this one sent the winner to the Super Bowl and one of the referees to the hospital after getting hit in the head with a whiskey bottle thrown by an idiot in the stands. Roger & the regulars may remember.
NFL Players & Coaches: D+
The jocks and gurus must share blame for the hostility heaped upon the replacements. A few choice words, spoken at the right time could've quelled much of the outrage. Instead, the behavior of men like Bill Belichick (ref-grabber) and Aaron Rodgers' (whine-pro) was typical. But in the Age of Enablement there are no grievances so small, so selfish, as to go unheard & un-redressed. I guess 'suck-it-up' and 'take the pain' are old school.
The Ravens' Anquan Boldin stated the prevailing view in post-game interview when pressed on the referee issue after Thursday night's Browns v. Ravens game: "I think the guys respect the regular referees." And that was the crux of it, these past four weeks. Most of players & coaches, it seemed, had no respect for the replacements. A prejudice, you could say. When prejudice is the mind-set, rational thought cannot happen.
Politics makes strange bedfellows. Had the players wanted to show solidarity with the regulars, the same guys they regularly berated on & off the field before their departure, they could've gone on strike with the zebras. But then nobody, not the owners, not the fans, not the players nor the media wanted the games cancelled, right? Right.
Sport Media & Entertainment: F
Lucky for these guys the NFL / referee contract was resolved when it was, otherwise all hell may've broken loose. I cringe to think.
ESPN, self-anointed "leader" in sport coverage, set a match to a highly-flammable situation. Normally neutral anchors freely weighed-in on the MNF controversy, making it clear to viewers that the field call ("simultaneous catch / Seattle TD) was pure buffoonery, while ex-jock analysts did their part to fan the flames of discontent. Post-game comments by Steve Young ("It's an emergent situation and I pray that an emergent doesn't result") and Trent Dilfer ("You get so frustrated with incompetence that it turns to anger") are noteworthy in their poor judgment and apparent invite to fan-rage.
Because it's unlikely ESPN acts in such manner solely on behalf of regulars refs, the best explanation might be the favored status of the Green Bay Packers' organization. The same inexplicable hostility emerged shortly after Brett Favre's jet hit the Twin Cities tarmac in 2009. The message here: When Packers' fans get angry, ESPN listens.
And if ESPN's bigwigs think "Sport Science" guy John Brenkus is a persuasive voice in photo-finish analysis, they'll never graduate to the next grade. John's head-spinning, sales-pitch is like that fast talking carnival barker. Before you can spot the con-job, he's got you by the arm and going for your wallet. You could lose the smirk, too, JB.
But the regulars are back. And with the glowing comments I've read from players, coaches, fans and media, football America is pleased as punch. Maybe this signals a new beginning, a greater respect between players, coaches and the officials with less on-field rage and fewer post-game crying-jags. Stranger things have happened. If this is a by-product, it's another reason to thank the subs.

A goal of the California Birth Defects Monitoring Program (CBDMP) is to provide data to researchers. In doing so, we hope to reduce the incidence of birth defects and help identify causal factors.
In the past, CBDMP has conducted research to test promising hypotheses. During that time we were able to investigate particular birth defects or environmental exposures. We also collaborated with scientists around the world to conduct comprehensive studies and share ideas and findings. To find more information on past studies, please refer to Past Research.
Currently, CBDMP tracks rates and trends with our Registry, a database of medical and demographic information on children with birth defects. We also respond to public concerns by investigating birth defect clusters or targeting surveillance around sites of environmental concern.

Lodi ready for return to WIAA tournament
Team wants to make up for performance last year
LODI, Wis. - This is WIAA state boys' basketball tournament week at the Kohl center. It starts Thursday and runs through Saturday.
Lodi will play East Troy in the division three semifinals Friday at 10:45 a.m.
Last year, Lodi was at state for the first time, and suffered a crushing 59-30 defeat at the hands of eventual state champion Brillion. The blue devils said that's not going to happen this time.
"It was very embarrassing last year - we all know it-- we're going to win the son of a gun now," said Lodi basketball player Donnie Manke. "We're not just there to be there. we're not happy just to get there. We want to win the gold ball now and hold that up."
The local teams playing this week include Randolph against Elmwood and Cuba City against Dominican Thursday. Friday's games include Lodi-East Troy and Stoughton-Wisconsin Lutheran. It's the first trip for Stoughton to the state boys' basketball tournament in 74 years.

Internationally acclaimed human rights activist to speak at Binghamton University
Internationally acclaimed human rights activist, Enrique Morones, will speak at 7 p.m. Wednesday, September 24, in the Watters Theater of the Fine Arts building, located on the Binghamton University campus. Morones's presentation, which is free and open to the public, is part of a discussion titled "Dialogues on Diversity and Social Justice." Attendees will be invited to join a discussion on the challenges of protecting both national borders and heritage as a nation of immigrants.
Morones is the founder of Border Angels, a group which places food, water and other provisions near desert border areas to try to save the lives of migrant workers. He is also a founder of Gente Unida, a coalition of 65 human rights groups dedicated to stopping the efforts of the vigilante group The Minuteman Project, Inc. He recently completed a 75-mile trek through Mexico and U.S. deserts in solidarity with migrants.
Morones has spoken throughout the United States and on various television shows in the United States and abroad to raise awareness of the conditions of migrant workers. He has debated Bill O'Reilly, Lou Dobbs, and founders of The Minuteman Project. Hispanic Business Magazine recognizes Morones as one of the 100 most influential Latinos in the USA.

Lesnik Gets Probation
The government wound up asking for a four-year prison term and had earlier threatened to seek more than five years. According to Lesnik's lawyer, Marc Harris, Judge Florence-Marie Cooper said at the sentencing hearing today that she was convinced that the physics expert neither transmitted nor intended to transmit the information he took home. Lesnik asserted he took the materials, some of them marked "top secret," simply to make it easier to work at home.
Harris says the prosecutor, Daniel Goodman, insisted that the government's briefs in the case were not intended to suggest that Lesnik made or planned an attempt to disclose the information.
Lesnik probably benefitted from his case being assigned to Judge Cooper, who saw first-hand the relatively lenient sentences the government agreed to in cases involving arguably far more serious breaches of the rules for handling classified information. I have in mind the cases involving senior FBI agent J.J. Smith and Katrina Leung, a longtime informant who later became a suspected double agent for China. Judge Cooper became a nightmare for the government when she dismissed the Leung case, citing a constitutional violation. That ruling led to the rather weak sentence Leung received. So, not the judge a prosecutor, especially on this kind of case, would want to draw.
Lesnik probably also benefitted from his attorneys' unusually exhaustive research into prior criminal cases involving mishandling of classified information.
I'm told press turnout for the hearing, in downtown Los Angeles, consisted of the Daily Journal legal newspaper and the City News Service, a local wire service. Apparently the Los Angeles Times, whose parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy today, couldn't be bothered to show up, nor could the national wire services or the national newspapers (if any still lay claim to that title).

I saw on the news for several weeks the strange case of Abraham Lesnik and it I was surprised that a scientist like Lesnik was sentenced to three years probation. It reminded me of the case of Sildenafil which was also very curious

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – It took reaching his seventh season, but Andy Kennedy's first win in an SEC-opening game came in dominant fashion.
Ole Miss was 0-6 in SEC openers under Kennedy and had not won a league debut since a 71-61 win at Alabama under Rod Barnes in 2006.
Last year the Rebels lost 81-55 at LSU.
Ole Miss opened the season on the road for the 12th time in 15 season.
Player of the game
Marshall Henderson entered SEC play on a bit of a 3-point hot streak having hit 44.8 percent from the arc over his previous five games.
Even in games when Henderson has shot a low percentage, he's managed to hit big shots. That was true earlier this season against Rutgers and Middle Tennessee.
Henderson was 3 for 12 from the arc against Tennessee and has made at least three 3-pointers in 11 of his 14 games.
"I just had to come out and be more aggressive and get my team involved. If they weren't making shots, I had to take over like I was supposed to. Coach just told me to keep attacking the screen, because it was going to be a physical game." – Ole Miss point guard Jarvis Summers
Next up
The Rebels are at home Saturday night at 7 against No. 10 Missouri. The Tigers, playing in their first conference game as SEC members, defeated Alabama 84-68 in Columbia on Tuesday night, pulling away down the stretch.

Brazil cut its key SELIC interest rates by 25 basis points to to 7.25%, a new record low, marking the tenth straight cut, Bloomberg's Matthew Malinowski and Raymond Colitt report. The market had been debating whether the Central Bank would cut rates or whether the easing cycle had come to an end but more recently had been leaning toward a cut. Now, the expectation is that this is the last cut.
The Bank said it aimed for "stability of monetary conditions for a sufficiently prolonged period" is "the most appropriate strategy.
Given that language and the 5-2 decision, Nomura's Tony Volpon and George Lei write: "We see a strong signal that the 525bp easing cycle since August 2011 is coming to an end, with Selic staying at 7.25% for the rest of 2012."
The question now is what's next."Since we still believe the current commodity shock will continue and the lagged effects will play out next year, we remain convinced that there will be a hiking cycle in 2013 to rein in rising inflation, Therefore, we maintain our call that the BCB will start hiking rates in Q2 next year, taking Selic to 9% by end-2013," the strategists write.

|Doors open
|Live music by Terence Etc.
Downtown Brooklyn
138 Willoughby St. at Flatbush Ave. (Ft. Greene/Downtown Brooklyn)
B, Q, R to Dekalb Ave
Nance's explosively creative debut feature documents the relationship between Terence and a woman as they teeter on the divide between platonic and romantic.
Filmmaker Terence Nance will perform music live prior to the screening. Following the screening there will be a Q and A with the filmmaker.
This screening is part of the Soul of Brooklyn Week presented by MoCADA
All of the screenings at Dekalb Market are co-presented by NYC & Company. Check out nycgo.com to find out all about the amazing events and attractions available across all five boroughs.
An Oversimplification of Her Beauty (Terence Nance | USA | 95 min.)
Love is a complicated emotion, up and down, stopping and starting, and (at its worst, or, depending on your attitude, at its apotheosis) love is entirely irrational. Yet your average romantic movie adheres to a paint-by-numbers design and fill-in-the-blank plot. An Oversimplification of Her Beauty colors vividly outside the lines and throws the plot (and reality itself) in a blender, constructing an original cinematic experience from thinning VHS tape, Japanese wood joinery and more animation styles than Rooftop's annual "Dark 'Toons" show. Nance's debut feature is actually a short film ("How Would You Feel?"), with an inserted documentary explication. The work posits an educational thesis, but could be called a self-help film, in the form of an unfolding diary (that contains a trailer for second, unmade film titled "Subtext," plus recreations from literary inspirations, and more.) To summarize: An Oversimplification is anything but a simple romantic comedy.
It is, however, achingly romantic and archly comedic. In this hybrid, through Nance's real life relationships and fictional examinations (or vice versa), the audience feels Terence's emotions acutely (by way of wild digressions and mysterious tangents). The film was made as a means of wooing a woman, but despite the intentional solipsism of the cinematic view, she comes across as a complex, strong-willed character, and the film is as much an entreaty to the audience. For all the intimacy and specificity of Terence's affairs, the film's faux-serious narrator entices the audience by referring back to the title short, asking, in any given unusual but realistic situation: "How would you feel?" Are you telling yourself the truth? Should you chase your ultimate desires? The passionate and beautiful answer is that although it may be easier to give in to cynicism and banality, and although the wild and wonderful may not always win the woman, daring to embrace the chaos of love will always lead to the more rewarding life (and film).

Terence Etc.
Terence Etc. was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He comes from a family of musicians who have played for legends like Lucky Peterson and James Ingram. Terence began writing music and learned to play various instruments as a young child sitting in on his uncles' studio sessions. He moved to New York City as a visual art student, and has since included music and filmmaking in his art-making lexicon. His music can be classified as "Art - Funk" and his debut album is set to be released next year. The music draws on familiar funk influences like Stevie Wonder and Funkadelic as well as less obvious composers like Andrew Lloyd Weber, Dilla, Leadbelly, the Kronos Quartet, Ira Gershwin, and Thelonius Monk. Terence currently resides in Bed - Stuy BK along with the rest of the Swarm.

It's true! Read all about it here.
It's true! Read all about it here.
so is there a chance obi-wan will be ported to other consoles or the PC?
Well, it says there are no official announcements yet, but that they are rumors. But hopefully it will. Everyone should experience that game.
The only thing I want Obi-Wan ported to is a big giant toilet so it can be flushed like the crap that it is.
"Roger Nasty Butler!"
They're confirmed. You must have skipped the updates of the news article. I'll redo it so it's easier to read.
Then go here: http://www.lucasarts.com/products/outcast/html/
That's good. The controls for the PC suck. I can't stand it. The game looks really cool, though, and i've played it a lot, but I just hate the controls.
....ummm.... why don't you just configure the controls to the way you like them? 0_0 Jedi Outcast has excellent controls. You can set them up any way you want them to be.
what are you saying? PC controls are far beyond any of the crap consoles have.
Oh god, not the PC vs console argument again.
PC controls suck if you are used to console controls.
Console controls suck if you are used to PC's.
My issue with pc controls, is that most games require you to use a keyboard/mouse combo. Which works OK, but they were not designed to play games with.
"Roger Nasty Butler!"
up untill almost a year ago, i had never played a game on a computer, but now i couldn't imagine playing any other way. my PS2, dreamcast, and N64 are collecting major dust these days. the only reason i hadn't traded them in is i'm hoping bounty hunter will be decent. well that and the PS2 medal of honor game.

My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Bourne Ultimatum- **** out of ****- Incredible movie with a tight, well done plot, amazing action with lots of chases and hand to hand combat and overall a great conclusion to the Bourne trilogy.
Once- ***1/2 out of ****- Great flick about two random folks who meet in dublin and bond through friendship and music. Here is the trailer if you don't know what i'm talking about: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox_se.../once/trailera
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon movie film for theaters- *** out of **** if you love the show like me, you'll love the film. It's full of raunchy, irrevant humor in that great ATHF manner.
TMNT- ** out of ****- Great CGI, but not much else. It's a long winded, confusing story that doesn't play out well at all. Huge letdown.
Wild Hogs- *1/2 out of ****- Boring, predictable, cliche', unfunny...need I go on?
The Lookout- *** out of ****- surprisingly good thriller with rising star Joseph Gordon Levitt. I was pretty impressed with this flick on all levels and the ending is pretty intense. I enjoyed it.
On the to watch list: Fracture, Disturbia and tomorrow: SUPERBAD!
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
Watched Disturbia last night. At first I thought it was just okay, but the more I thought about it, I began to like it; so I'll say it was good. It wasn't quite what I was expecting; I was expecting more suspense and thrills throughout the movie but they were actually few and far between (for the most part), with exception to the ending. It was still good nonetheless, and I'm kind of glad that they didn't try to constantly startle or seek thrills from the audience; it probably would have turned out to be a terrible movie. Instead, the movie built up the characters and plot and built the tension that would soon erupt towards the end of the film; this it accomplished, very well might I add. Shia LeBeouf did a great job, as did Sarah Roemer (Ashley). Never heard of her before and not sure what else she was been in (IMDB isn't functioning correctly right now) but I believe this was the first thing that I have seen her in. Anyways, she did a good job and has a very interesting look about her, hot. I love David Morse and he did a good job as well; playing the creepy and mysterious neighbor.
But yea, I really enjoyed this movie, especially the more I thought about it. Evidently it is a modern Rear Window, which I for some reason haven't seen yet (and my brother has just about all of the Hitchcock movies) so I'm eager to take that one down and do a little comparison; and I have no doubts that Hitchcock's Rear Window will be the better film (much better, probably). I mean, come on, it's Hitchcock!!!.. and it's #13 on IMDB's Top 250.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
I gotta agree with you UK; I really enjoyed "Disturbia." I had my doubts coming into it, but it's a good psuedo version of "Rear Window." It has a good deal of suspense, likeable characters and (as I said in my blog), an uber greasy and evil David Morse. It was high on the suspense and easy on the gore, which was nice for once. *** out of ****
"Superbad"- Check out my brief blip in the thread. To recap though: I laughed, hard, and a lot. ***1/2 out of ****
"Fracture"- I had some hopes for this one and Hopkins delivers, but Gosling is so wound up playing a seemingly schmuck pouty lawyer with an annoying southern accent. It was hard for root for him and I was actually more interested in Hopkins. ** out of ****
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"

The California Asthma Public Health Initiative (CAPHI) and the California Department of Public Health are pleased to announce the new Enhancing Local Capacity to Address Asthma Priorities (ELCAAP) Program. The purpose of the ELCAAP Program is to work directly with six California county health departments to strategically and collaboratively facilitate local efforts to reduce the burden of asthma in the 5 key goal areas identified in the Strategic Plan for Asthma in California (2008-2012) (PDF, 3MB, New Window). These areas include: awareness and infrastructure, data/surveillance, health care, indoor environments, and outdoor environments.
Utilizing funding from an appropriation from the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Surtax Fund (Prop 99), CAPHI will award funding and technical assistance to six California county health departments in the Central Valley for up to three years (contingent upon approval in the annual State budget process). This funding will support the development of a countywide, comprehensive assessment of the asthma-related assets, challenges, and priority issues as identified through a collaborative county-based process involving a diverse representation of asthma stakeholders from the community, medical, and public health sectors. This assessment will support the development of a prioritized work plan that will describe and define county-level, asthma-related activities (with specified outcomes) that will be implemented, evaluated and embedded in the county over the two final years of the funding period.
CAPHI has selected 6 California counties for funding:

Due to things that come up in life 4/24 didn't go as planned. I could not get out hunting during the morning you all know how that feels when you have active tags in your pocket and the morning dawns with beautiful hunting weather. Come noon I was free so I decided to head over to unit 3 in an area I picked by hanging the map on a dart board and where the dart hit I went. Hunting a different area cold is something I do at least once each spring.
So it was I found myself standing at the end of a county forest spur at 2:00 pm. A beautiful walk in woods produced this at 6:30 pm.
I'd love to report a long battle of heavy back and forth calling and maneuvering but that would be an exaggeration. I was simply enjoying the evening stroll along an easy trail thinking I should find a more productive area when I thought I heard a course half yelp. So I picked a tree, setup, made 2 yelps on slate, heard a half gobble much like a jake and son of gun there he was standing at 20 yards.
After 2 days of physically tough unit 1 river hunting. Made hard by sudden extremely high water levels that flooded all my traditional areas breaking what was left into small land patches. It seemed I was always on the wrong side of whatever, meaning I had to row or pole a lot. Water is too deep for wading. Saturday morning was no exception.
This one I worked a little harder physically however he too came running to just a couple of my yelps making the actual 10:30 morning setup very short.
Hope the turkeys keep responding good for everyone this next week too.
Good hunting everyone.

Bonnie Lee Swingen
Stoughton - Bonnie Lee Swingen, age 74, passed away on Sunday, February 24, 2013 at the Skaalen Home in Stoughton after a brief struggle with ovarian cancer.
She was born on September 28, 1938 in Milwaukee, WI to Rudolph and Mildred Sprenger. She graduated from Stoughton High School. She attended Luther College until the death of her father. At that time, she returned home to help her mother run the family business, The Stoughton Store.
She married LaVerne T. Swingen on October 19, 1963 at Central Lutheran Church in Stoughton. Together she and "her Vern" ran The Stoughton Store for 29 years. During these years they both belonged to many community and service organizations; Stoughton Lioness, Stoughton Country Club, Sons of Norway and the Stoughton Chamber.
For many years, they lived in a home on Quam's Point on Lake Kegonsa, where they hosted gatherings for family and friends. Bonnie and Vern loved to have people around and shared many good times. The door was always open and the pontoon was always ready to go.
During their years together, Bonnie and Vern traveled extensively by taking trips to Hawaii, Norway, Alaska, Florida and Arizona to name just a few. Many times they were accompanied by a wonderful group of friends.
When they left the lake, they moved to the Vennevoll community.
Bonnie is survived by her husband of 49 years, LaVerne, many family members and a wonderful circle of friends and their families.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Covenant Lutheran Church, 1525 N. Van Buren St., Stoughton on Friday, March 1, 2013 at 11:00 AM. A visitation will also be held at the church on Friday from 9:00 AM until the time of service. There will be a luncheon held at the church after the service. Per Bonnie's wishes, there will be a private burial at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Covenant Lutheran Church in Stoughton.
Bonnie's family and circle of friends would like to thank the many doctors and nurses in the Dean Health Clinics, the staffs of Stoughton and St. Mary's Hospitals for their help and compassion over the years. We would also like to thank the Home Health nurses and the staff at Skaalen Home for taking such wonderful care of Bonnie. It was very much appreciated.

If You Hated the Violin, You Wouldn't Play, Right?

When it comes to healthy living would you really want to give up something you enjoy? Or, even less likely, do you really want to start doing something you don't? Let us assume that there is now conclusive evidence that playing just 20 minutes of violin a day substantially reduces your risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease. But now imagine that you happen to be someone who simply hates violin...

A friend on Facebook was looking at my gallery and asked if she could download my May desktop calendar. I wasn't sure if that is allowed or not, as I didn't put it out there to share, simply for my friends to see what I do. Also, it's not a commercial product, but ... see why I'm confused? Is it all right to share something like that with a friend, for personal use?

|Bluewater Extreme Test the limits of the fly fishing domain
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Baja (La Paz - Mexico)
Pete, a few more thoughts on La Paz:
You can get a panga out of any of the big hotels like Los Arco and La Perla or you can go to a stand on the malacon. A day will cost $170. plus bait(which you will need to keep the fish at the boat).My friend Jim charges the same but he includes bait, lunch and beer.Can't beat that. I don't know if the prices will be affectedby the new gas prices.
The boats are in Las Arenas and typically you will leave town before sunrise and be home at around 3 in the afternoon. 45min. in the car is better than an hour pounding in the boat. The best fishing is often off of Isla Ceralvo.
Blue water is 20min. off the beach, and you can catch anything out of a panga. Speaking of the beach, the fishing can be excellent there as well and Jim also does wade trips.
If you want to do a twilight trip out of La Paz, I have heard that can be good. I don't know of any good beach fishing in town.
After a hot day fishing there is an excellent juice/icecream shop on the malacon. There is also an ecellent taco stand(scary but taisty)around the corner from there.
Some good web sites to check out are Amigos de Baja, and Gary Grahm's Baja on the fly. Both are a must to keep track of what's going on.
You might want to bring along some leadcore for the tuna.
That's all I can think of for now, Eddie.
RE:Baja (La Paz - Mexico)
Pete -
It's the least we can do for your insight as a fish doc on the forum... I can't wait to see the reports!
RE:Baja (La Paz - Mexico)
Eddie, Bruce and Juro,
Thank you for taking the time to provide the links and the info. I'm going to start doing a little homework on the trip and I will certainly take some pictures when I go.
Roosterfish are a blast I guess and I'm hoping to get a crack at Dorado. I'm not too jazzed about renting the big boasts, as I prefer to stick with the pangas and hit the nearshore opportunities. I'll be bringing the 10wt and maybe building a bigger rod - if my wife doesn't shoot me first. She came home the other day and I was elbow deep in rod-finishing epoxy - didn't expect her home for lunch, Doh!
here she comes now, gotta go ;-(
RE:Baja (La Paz - Mexico)
Eddie -
Great to have your feedback in the forum! I've got a signed copy of Trey Comb's book, it's a beauty. After the treatise of steelheading he did in the preceding book(s) I was glad to shake his hand and talk about fishing for a while in the Kingdome (Seattle) where I bought his book. The section on pacific ocean salmon is cool too, although the big pelagic species sure put the possibilities of flyfishing to the extreme.
As you know we really enjoy atlantic bonito (sarda sarda) on flyrods on the new england coast. Using 9wt class rods, they are a great fight and fine table fare. A lot of guys don't even need charcoal or a match (sushi!) for this wonderfully textured and flavored fish.
I've done dorado off the Florida coast on the fly, but the sailfishing was done with conventional tackle. Did the bait and switch to huge 'cuda over offshore the wrecks with the fly, that was fun.
Pete -
Take lots of pictures!
RE:Baja (La Paz - Mexico)
I have fished out of La Paz a bunch of times. I love that place. Most of the panga captains are not well versed with fly fishing and it can be frustraiting (especially if you don't speak spanish). To them, flyfishing is insane. My buddy Jim lives in town during the summer, and he takes people out to flyfish.I think you would do well to give him a call. Even if you don't go out with him, he is very helpful and has been fishing there for years. His#520-325-8358.
I fish out of Las Arenas, about 45min. south east of La Paz. The fishing can be excellent. Dorado will be your main target but you might come across bonita, sailfish, striped marlin, blue marlin, and from the beach roosterfish and jack crevalle.
Billfish are a lot of time/work for furtive results, but like stealhead, the payoff can be big. Dorado are god's gift to the flyfisherman. Roosterfish are like permit(holy grail), and jacks and bonita don't get any respect, but will put a smile on your face every time.
For billfish you need a#12+. For big dorado(30#) a #11 is good. A #10 will be good for most every thing, and a#8 is fun on the beach. I like the clear intermediate lines( "tarpon taper" ). For reels it's been said a thousand times"strong smooth drag" and a couple of hundred yards of backing (I like to have a few hundred for pelagic fish). Unfortunately these reels are expensive, but this is what tibors and abels are made for. Nothing less will take care of you. I think that Trey Comb's book Blue Water Flyfishing is the best place to start.
If you have never caught a pelagic fish, there is nothing that compares.
RE:Baja (La Paz - Mexico)
I hear La Paz and most of the Baja is famous for Rooster Fishing. I would die to have another shot at those maniacal fish.
RE:Baja (La Paz - Mexico)
La Paz! When I lived out west this area was known as a place to go chase a different kind of tail Here's a neat link for  general information,  tourism,  seasonal fishing info , and one for  fishing charters . More focused is  La Paz specific activities .

Baja (La Paz - Mexico)
Board Members,
I'm getting the chance to attend a conference in La Paz, Mexico during mid June (14th - 20th). I am going ostensibly to present some work, but the real reason that is motivating me is to go fishing. I have never been there before and was hoping that someone could fill me in a little about what species to expect, cost to rent a panga, and recommended gear to take. I have a ten weight now, and could build an 11/12 before I go.
Any help is appreciated.

Today was my third time the pup and I went on a real hunt. Its the first time he saw lots of action, 2 shooters, close to limits, 2 hours. One of the ducks was a good distance away, looking back im not sure the distance but at least 150yrds(this may be no where close only a guess. )? Could have been more could have been less.im a bad judge of distance. About 3/4 of the way out there he started a little whine for a moment then stopped, grabbed the cripple and returned for a very nice rookie retrieve to hand.
Id that little "whining" normal?
when hunting from fixed blind or layout on the shore, at what distance do you rethink the retrieve and try to get send the dog from a different spot thats closer to the downed bird?
is this a normal question LOL? Im new and doing all of the training my self with help from a few local pros and trainers.
Thanks in advance for your input.

Emergency Response to Elephant Poaching in Cameroon
Today's guest blogger, Dirck Byler, is a Program Officer for the Great Ape Conservation Fund with the Service's International Affairs office in Arlington, Virginia. Today, he shares a story about his recent trip to Cameroon.
In February, I was in Cameroon to meet with students attending the Garoua Wildlife College, a regional institution supported by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The College trains young professionals from French-speaking Africa in wildlife management.

While in Cameroon, reports filled my inbox on the slaughter of as many as 500 elephants in Bouba Ndjida National Park. However, the facts of these reports were disputed. Little detail was available on what interventions, if any, were being made to prevent further poaching.

Jay GlazerVerified account @JayGlazer3h
The Miami Dolphins, who've been dealing w o-line trouble, have traded with the Ravens for Bryant McKinnie according to Ravens sources
Ireland probably traded Mike Pouncey, Mike Wallace and Brent Grimes along with a 2nd round pick for McKinnie.
The goal of this trade is 2.5 seconds.
McKinnie was done two years ago. The guy is lazy, parties all day and just doesn't take care of his body. The Ravens started playing him late last year (after having spent most of the year on the bench) to make a run, partly at the urging of Ed Reed, who was a teammate of McKinnie's at the U. Somehow he managed to put together a very nice stretch run through the end of the year and the playoffs and the Ravens foolishly expected him to come into this year motivated.
Didn't happen. He was back to being done. And now here we come, with 2/3rds of the season left to go, expecting him to care. Unless he's a superfan who's always dreamed of playing for the Dolphins I wouldn't count on it. The guy is a big, immobile piece of slab bacon, totally unsuited to a zone blocking scheme.
Unless I'm mistaken he's never been an RT so I think this kicks Jonathan Martin over to the right side.
how many sacks did mckinnie give up? yeah, that's an upgrade! i like the move.
The Dolphins are a mess. This move stinks of desperation. We trade for a guy who cant even make the gameday roster. What have any of the people in charge of the dolphins ever done to make the fanbase have confidence in the decisions they make? Nothing. Anyone who believes in these people are doing so based on blind faith. I for one have no faith in them and will not believe they have what it takes to make this team a winner until we have won.
So Ravens trade for Monroe to Replace McKinnie, then you all trade for the guy that was replaced and give them picks back. nice win for Ravens there.
McKinnie is as mobile as a tree sloth and is out of shape. How in the hell is he going to last in the Miami heat for 4 quarters at his 360 pounds??!!
People have been complaining that anything would be better than Clabo and that the organization would be crazy to not try and fix the situation with other personnel. Now they do and the move is condemned here.
I don't think Mckinnie is gonna be great, but it's gonna be hard not to be an improvement on Clabo. This could be a season saving move not just for the results at the line position, but also because its gonna gonna give the offense a little confidence boost and encouragement.
Is there something less than a 7th rounder that could be traded? Desperation.
Our o-line would be better if we would've sent a 2nd or 3rd rounder for Branden Albert and left Martin at right tackle.
Oh but the whole Brandon Albert thing and Jake Long Contract offer were smokescreen, there was really no worries about the OLINE, John Martin was the plan all along. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This place is funny, Andy Reid is laughing hysterically at us right now. We wouldn't pull the trigger for Brandon Albert so we could draft 2 CB's so good they can't get Jimmy Wilson off the field, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....The Dolphins are comical, Ireland needs to go. Keeping him when Sparano was fired has set us back even farther.
McKinnie has never played on the right Side so I doubt he will play there in MIA.
He will be playing LT IMO, which will move Martin over to Right I think.

Where I stayed
Bako National Park
Bako National Park
We're back at the Singgahsana for a
quick overnight after four days and three nights of hiking and
camping in Bako National Park. We took our first public bus (no
chickens or sacks of rice) approximately one hour out of Kuching and
then climbed onto a boat with two British kids and a lawyer from San
Francisco, the first American we've run across so far
twenty minutes through the most densely populated salt water
crocodile habitat on the island of Borneo. "Don't worry," said
the ranger. "They don't mess with people - mostly dogs and
monkeys". He then added as an afterthought, "There was a young
boy taken from the river bank about one month ago, but he was with
his dog and it was almost night. Sometimes during the handover from
day to night animals get confused". This same ranger when later
asked about the presence of leeches in the swampy areas of the park
said, "We've had no "reported" cases" and then went on to
tell the story of a woman that after returning from a hike with blood
soaking through her pants looking as though "she didn't know what
is tampon". It turned out to be leeches that had collected in the
folds of her crotch and "exploded" from overfeeding
the freaking jungle!
We arrived at the ranger station/camp
in the afternoon welcomed by the screeching of macaques from the
trees and the soft sounds of the ocean. Due to the late hour of our
arrival and looming storm clouds in the distance we decided it wise
to share a dorm with our new friends from the UK and head off first
thing in the morning for our sojourn into the wild.
We did a short hike on one of the close
trails and within minutes happily found ourselves surrounded by the
towering tangled trees and leafy verdant growth that shrinks one to
insect proportions and blocks out the sun. A few minutes later we
ended up lost as the trail melted into a newly formed bog from two
days of heavy rainfall
we decided to call it a day and retraced our steps back to camp
stirring up a large whip snake (non-poisonous), a small green viper
(poisonous!), and a monitor lizard the size of a basset hound along
the way. We returned to camp and devoured the bony canned curry
chicken and cold rice they served at the canteen like only those who
have traveled all day and hiked through the wilderness can. After
which we retired to our musty room and slept like royalty.
We awoke to the sound of pouring rain,
it's sedative quality making it difficult to get out of bed. We
started our day slowly sitting on the porch first sipping green tea
then Indochina instant coffee while we stuffed our packs, shooing
away klepto macaques and acquiring our first mosquito bites of the
the night before as the rain calmly came to a stop. Brooke finished
her gruel and got up from the table to use the bathroom and I sat
pondering whether the calories I would need for the day warranted me
choking down another Heimlich inducing piece of this mystery meat
(What part of the chicken is this anyway?). Lost in thought and
unprotected by my mate left me vulnerable to a ninja macaque that
bounded up the stairs and over my shoulder silently snatching the
last morsel from my plate. I heard only the clink of the spoon on my
plate and saw only a blur from the corner of my eye. I turned to go
after the thieving bastard, but then realized he had done me a favor.
We put on our packs and headed into the jungle.
Our goal was to reach the Tanjor Falls
a few kilometers inside the park, not because it was known for it's
beauty or size, but a because we had a late start and it looked like
a good stopping point with access to fresh water
ranger station and navigated the myriad of elevated wooden walkways
that carry you over the tidal swamp that surrounds the park entrance.
Within minutes we turned a corner and came upon a proboscis monkey.
These strange and fascinating primates are only found on the island
of Borneo and have been spotted walking long distances on two legs
and carrying their young on their hips, a behavior not even seen in
apes. The males have large Jimmy Durante noses and potbellies giving
them a comical appearance and earning them the Indonesian name orang
Belanda, or "Dutchman", reflecting their love for the Dutch. They
are usually only seen high in trees, but this one was just above eye
level in a tree downhill from us and he hadn't spotted us yet. We
were prepared for jungle hiking in the rain - not for picture taking,
but this was a golden opportunity
back the rain cover, unzipped the main compartment, extracted the dry
bag that held my camera, unrolled it, pulled out the body and was
putting on the lens when two tourons (tourist/morons) came crashing
down the trail making more noise than an oil drum half full of empty
bottles rolling down a flight of stairs. The proboscis was as
startled as we were and quickly scrambled off into the tree tops. I
managed to get a couple of decent fleeting photos, but as is often
times the case in the wild, the best images are visible only in our
mind's eye.
We walked up staircases of massive tree
roots and across mossy earthen floors in dense dripping jungle. We
strolled in the sunshine through corridors of carnivorous plants that
grew above our heads and under our feet
sliding through washes of cascading kaolin clay and waded through
warm tannin streams carving through soft limestone. As the sun began
to settle the forest changed once again. Leaves grew to the size of
umbrellas, grasses wider than gun belts with serrated edges, spiny
bamboo, and vines like ship yard ropes crisscrossed the trail with
fallen trees. Wandering grey stone walls reached out from the bottoms
of massive trunks blocking the trail and forcing us to climb with
hands and feet under looming massive obelisks rising into the
darkening sky. All the while the cacophony of buzzing, howling, and
screeching and the occasionally painful bite was all that reminded us
that we were not completely alone.
We arrived at the falls with barely
enough time to pitch camp before the curtain fell and the blackness
swallowed us whole. We sat on a flat rock near the water with lights
off and rested our tired legs and backs. We could see nothing at
first. It was the kind of darkness that hurts your eyes and causes
you to speak softly, but whispering was not an option
chance of reading lips and between the rushing water and our
awakening nocturnal neighbors. We had to shout at one another so we
mostly sat quietly. Whether it was our rods finally kicking into
overdrive or the earth spinning us further from the sun we began to
make out the faint jagged outline of the night sky through the
canopy. We watched as a pair of lightning bugs cautiously floated
through the air searching for one another by alternating flashes like
a ship and a distant lighthouse growing closer until they found one
another and joined the darkness together. There would be no fire for
us or even a hot dinner. We were tired and the mosquitoes were biting
through our chemicals and clothing, so we ate a can of sardines and a
handful of crackers and crawled into our netted tents
The morning came quickly. It's amazing
how a little physical exhaustion can help you sleep anywhere. We had
pitched our tents on the only relatively flat dry space we could find
and to be honest it was neither flat nor dry, but it was definitely
narrow. The lines that held our tents and tarps had sagged after a
night of gymnastic frivolity from our forest friends. I've spent a
few nights inside mosquito netting and awoke to find fresh bites,
but no probing culprit to squash. I've always wondered whether it
was one stealthy sucker that snuck in and out again or if they were
biting me through the damn net. Well, I now have my evidence. Due to
the sagging of my tent and the coffin-width of my sleeping space,
when I turned on my side my knee was in contact with the netting. I
awoke with ninety-six bites on my right knee and sixty-three on my
left. Fortunately there is no malaria or dengue in this region and
all I had to do was suffer through the itch.
Our first day in the jungle was
in these parts) with dried figs and cashews. We sipped on jasmine
green tea and instant coffee, soaked our sore legs and backs in the
bubbling pools of tannic water, and bathed in the beams of sunlight
that filtered through the massive leaves and flowering vines. We
talked of breaking camp and continuing further along the trail when
our first visitors arrived.
Since we were technically camping at a
landmark along the trail we figured people would walk through our
camp all morning, but it was afternoon before we saw the the first
human faces of an attractive French couple who were living and
working in Thailand and were now three months pregnant and traveling
around Indonesia before having their baby
future travels! First Will and JC and Destiny and Jay with family in
tow to Costa Rica, then Jess and Jeff in Vietnam with baby Avonlea,
and now this couple traveling through the remote isles of Indonesia
while pregnant. Our perspectives truly are our only limitations. They
joined us and we sat and talked of family and politics for awhile
before they continued on their walk and we started to break camp.
Our next and only other visitors came
as we stuffed the last of our belongings into our packs. A young
couple, both tall redheads from Australia, who had been abroad for
nearly a year and were actively seeking a way to stay on the road for
at least another. They had just finished up a teaching gig in Vietnam
and were now applying for jobs as tour guides in Singapore. They were
not the average youth traveling aimlessly on a trust fund trying to
escape a life of responsibility. These two had finished degrees,
worked along the way, and decided rather than staying home and
working, they would travel and work along the way
away our afternoon talking about consumerism, the vanishing
wilderness, and how when we walked through the jungle we couldn't
help but compare it to movies, video games, and theme parks. We
talked about the fate of the world today and of course we talked
about what is on everyone's mind - politics. We closed on a positive
note. We spoke of a generation that would focus on conservation and
healing rather that productivity and growth at all costs. We left the
falls together and separated as we came to the trail. Just as we came
together from opposite sides of the globe in this place and shared
our visions of the future, we separated and took new paths in
opposite directions, leaving this place with a renewed sense of hope.
Serendipitously, our friends from down
under had also left us with a golden suggestion
to head for the nearest patch of sand and set up camp for the night.
We needed to dry out and were looking forward to sleeping on flat
ground. We suspected the only beach head we might reach before night
fall was tidal and therefore not a good place to sleep without a pair
of pool rafts. The Aussies suggested a place they had stumbled onto
earlier that "wasn't beach, but had a nice view and might be a cool
spot to camp". We thought this might be a good backup plan, but we
were set on a little beach blanket bingo. The first beach we came to
was underwater and it wasn't even high tide yet. We continued hiking
and as the afternoon wore on we spotted the turn off they spoke of
and decided to check it out. We sloshed through the muck up hill
until the thick vegetation gave way to dry forest and a widening view
and the trail ended in a beautiful clearing of grey volcanic rocks
perched gently nearly a hundred feet over the ocean
blue pools littered the ground; craters left millions of years ago
from what was bubbling mud now filled with rain water reflecting the
evening sky. We were surrounded with large carnivorous pitcher plants
whose deadly sweet fragrance filled the air, a welcome respite from
the rotting smells of the jungle. We had a 180 degree view of the
South China Sea and a cool breeze. We set up camp under a magnificent
sunset reminiscent of home, collected an armful of dry wood, made a
fire, and cooked a hot dinner of rice noodles and fish. We laid out
on the flat rocks letting the fire go to embers and fell asleep
watching the stars rotate through the clear night sky.
Brooke awoke first, filtered rainwater
from the pools and made tea, then went exploring
to scrambled down the rocks and discovered a private little cove
exposed by the lowering tide where she could get into the ocean. She
had her own Leilani yoga session on the rocks with the ocean crashing
in the background. I awoke and had my morning tea sitting on the
cliff's edge dangling my feet and watching a school of yard long
needle fish swimming below. I was thinking about whether I could reel
a fish up this high when I spotted a pale green figure, the size of a
wheel barrow, rising to the surface just below me. It was the largest
green sea turtle I've seen to date. I yelled for Brooke, but she was
outside of shouting distance and lost in yoga bliss, so I sat quietly
and watched as the turtle paddled around the rocks feeding on algae,
until she dove out of site. I then climbed down the rocks and joined
Brooke for our first swim in the ocean. When we returned to camp we
walked to the cliff edge where I had seen the turtle, hoping she
would return, but only the needle fish remained. We gazed out onto
the ocean and within minutes spotted a pod of dolphins, then another,
and another. Twenty or more dolphins, pink and pale grey in color, in
pods of six or eight, cresting and jumping through the seas. They
were maybe a half mile out, but our view was exquisite. It was the
perfect ending to our time in the park. We hiked back to the ranger
camp that afternoon and caught a boat and bus back to Kuching. We
suffered some bumps, bruises, and bites along the way, and will need
a few days to recover, but we were able to share experiences with a
few wonderful people and nature shared a few of her secrets with us.

GULFPORT — A Louisiana couple arrested on animal cruelty charges in Mississippi now face similar charges in Louisiana, authorities say.
Sharon Merritt, 59, and her boyfriend, Todd Klibert, 55, were arrested in Metairie, La., on Friday when they arrived home after their release from Hancock County jail, Sheriff Ricky Adam tells the Sun Herald.
Hancock County animal control officer Colin Freeman says Jefferson Parish authorities awaited the couple when they arrived from Mississippi. They found about 20 cats and dogs there, which Merritt surrendered to officers, Adam says.
Merritt and Klibert were jailed in Hancock County Wednesday after authorities found 182 animals — cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, turkeys and quail — at Merritt's property in Kiln, Miss.
All 82 cats were euthanized. Most remaining animals have been adopted.

I'm a long time game developer having led several large commercial video games to market and having run a couple of specialized business ventures in the games sector. These days I'm travelling quite a bit and exploring other disciplines as well as working on a new personal project.
http://www.joeydevilla.com/2013/01/12/saying-hello-and-goodbye-to-aaron-swartz/ . Saddened by this.
I notice that there is a specific difference between how C programmers use C as opposed to C++ programmers use C++.
This difference is a contrast to the more common difference - the argument of overall simplicity. The common argument has often been voiced in terms of how C developers claim that they "can do everything in C that others do in C++" and that they "can use C just like C++".
It is obviously true that C developers can make C++ like objects by hand (instead of using C++ language features) but what is not true is that this is really how they work every day. In fact C developers use a different work pattern from C++ developers.
When a C developer wants to synthetically model a problem landscape they do the same kind of partitioning that a C++ developer does; they partition the functionality of their solution up into clumps of locally associated behavior. A single clump is any area where the density of relationships is highest, and the relationships between clumps is often lesser than the relationships going on inside of one clump with itself. This is a typical colloquial human approach to problem solving; divide and conquer - where division occurs along the easiest cleaving lines. Humans are particularly clever at finding ideal cleaving lines between any two things - it is a powerful technique. For example Democritus proposed the existence of the atom by simply considering what would happen if one kept trying to divide a grain of salt in two. (All of this is just classic prototype based composition as well documented by George Lakoff and friends).
In other ways a problem is often thought of by both camps as some kind of dataflow or some kind of execution flow. Typically these problems can be arranged as a stack, where each of the clumps of functionality gets executed in turn, and the whole thing is driven from the bottom or the top by some kind of input. Clumps of functionality can be thought of as belonging to layers, as one more step along a pipeline. This design pattern is useful for representing everything from user interface applications (where the application is driven by user input) to state machines (where the application is driven by state events such as timeouts or external events).
When a C programmer implements a solution they will typically define a formal API for each of the layer of behavior, and traffic will flow between clumps by invoking methods on each others global API's. If in some cases one clump has to talk to an API method that isn't normally nearby (such as say a user interface needing to set the value of a cryptographic key that is closely associated with a low level transport layer) then it can do that because the design pattern at use is one of global API's which are always visible all of the time and always accessible.
As opposed to how a C programmer works, when a C++ programmer implements a solution they will typically define objects to represent (or be in) each layer. Here we are seeing quite a different design pattern at work. Because these are real objects, as opposed to global API's, they tend to be visible only to the layer above and the layer below. When a C++ programmer wants to touch some low level functionality from a high level area, they have to find a way to promote the interfaces of the low level layer up to the high level, or they have to resort to using global API methods. There is a strong discouragement to use statically global API methods because it is contrary to the idea of an object altogether - and if one has a specially shaped kind of implement that has been a significant investment then to not use that implement seems wasteful. There is at least a tendency towards complexity because of the desire to use the tools at hand - but also a real sense that if global objects are used then one loses the ability to multiply instance the application because there may now also be global state. C++ lacks an ability to fork off a copy of global state although of course one can instance another copy of the application.
To help C++ programmers not avoid some of the strengths of C - there is a way of thinking about this problem that will help C++ programmers to be more effective. Most things in life seem to be persuasively represented best as spatial or visual metaphors. In domains as disparate as music and mathematics or in any kind of problem solving it is often useful to conceive the system using spatial or visual metaphors, the clarity of the right solution, or the ability to predict next steps seems to jump out much more strongly - probably because as humans we have so much wetware dedicated towards spatial analysis.
In this case the spatial analogue of what C programmers are doing in their code is to define API's that cleave vertically through all layers of an application. Because the API's are vertical, they are accessible to everybody, and this tends to empower C programmers to actually make those API's useful globally. The limiting factor affecting C++ programmers is that their objects are only visible horizontally. Clearly C++ programmers should think more often of using static global classes to represent functionality in some cases, and should think more about aggregating related objects into a specific layer of functionality, where that layer as a whole may itself have some global methods - even if some of the contained objects do not.
Every month or so I wander back to Advogato to see how things are going here. I'm intrigued by community forums and how effective they are at keeping the interest of their members, engaging in a kind of praxis - not getting bogged down in text and still remaining action centric. Advogato looks like a moderately lively forum but still seems to lack a bit of that real sense of community that I saw at work on forums such as ryze.com or on Rich Persaud's addapt forum. Is it really just that there are images associated with persons on those other forums? And should advogato really care about winning those kinds of popularity contents? After all Advogato is mostly interested in filtering away noise. But at the same time I think that for many the issue is more community, and less quality; after a certain age almost everything everybody says can be recast in words or arguments one has heard before, the new ceases to amaze - one looks for simpler more human values. It isn't so much intellectual challenge that seems to be missing, but simply a sense of a long term shared persistent space; a space where the visibility of others actions is present, a human shadow cast on the net. Digital communities are already at a disadvantage because they favor talk over action; it is too easy to protect the physical flesh - and without putting the flesh on the line there is no real risk - without risk there is no connection to pre technological human values. All of the forums I see today are essentially failures; small encampments of hardened like minds but not generally straddling any broad diversity of community and not truly persistent, not able to organize large volumes of knowledge, not able to teach, really in a sense kind of stagnant. I think this is because they tend to be fiefdoms, and the community knowledge isn't owned by the members of the community itself. When a community is held hostage to somebody pulling the plug, then it ultimately doesn't put its most precious thoughts into that space. The whole net itself is completely vibrant - one doesn't make a home page in somebody elses space, one simply makes a home page and retains ownership over it.
