|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|those were good boats. Everybody loves them
Finally have a Boat for the Cape (Cod)
Just picked up a 1986 Hobie Power Skiff. I've been eying one of these for about a year. I took it out with the family into Boston Harbor and was very pleased how well it handled VERY big chop (from the ridiculous amount of boat traffic). My next outing is down on the Cape. Hopefully next weekend. I don't want to give away any secrets but I am going to put it in the water (I think many of you already know where the water is so I am not giving way any secrets) and then go look for fish! :-)
I am busy cleaning up the hull, rewiring and relocating the battery and fuel tanks to make it more fly fishing friendly. It has a very shallow (8") draft but right now it has a 1972 Johnson outboard without power tilt so I am not planning on heading into really skinny water until I replace the engine.
I will post a non descriptive report when I return.

Fish also sustain our bodies. Billions of people rely on seafood for protein, and from fishermen to chefs, many depend on seafood to earn their living.
But the ocean's supply can't keep up with our growing human demands. From once plentiful cod and key species of rockfish to majestic sharks, species are dramatically declining because we've taken too many fish out of the water and left too few behind to reproduce. Overfishing is not only harming fish, it is harming the fishermen, coastal economies and ecosystems that are dependent on them.
Ocean Conservancy has worked for more than 20 years to support sustainable U.S. fisheries. It's in everyone's best interest—distributors, retailers, fishermen and consumers—to restore the ocean's bounty and strengthen our coastal economies.
Our partnerships with fishermen have led to new policies to help make fish plentiful now and into the future—and they are successful. According to a recent National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) fisheries report, we are turning the corner on overfishing. The catch by American fishermen has reached a 17-year high. The evidence can be seen in signature species -- red snapper are recovering in the Gulf of Mexico and lingcod is coming back on the Pacific Coast.
We're creating a model other countries can follow to better protect fish worldwide. But recovery takes time. We can't relax the measures in place. The science tells us we have to hold the line on successful policies and practices to ensure that vulnerable species thrive long into the future. We continue to work with fishermen to keep our nation's fisheries laws strong to ensure continued success.
Our work doesn't stop there. We're helping connect fishermen and seafood buyers who want to purchase sustainably caught seafood. We're contributing to a shared vision where retailers, restaurant chains and other seafood businesses support good fishing practices—so we never again catch fish faster than they can reproduce.
We have also created incentives that reward fishermen when they use practices that protect ocean ecosystems. We're helping introduce shrimp fishing gear that reduces environmental impacts, including the number of fish and endangered sea turtles that are caught and killed incidentally. These innovations are more fuel-efficient as well, helping fishermen save on fuel costs and reduce their carbon emissions at the same time.
We're restoring the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, which supports an estimated $22.6 billion in seafood, commercial fishing and recreational fishing related activity. Along the California coast, we've helped create an extensive network of marine protected areas, underwater parks that provide havens where fish can thrive, and we continue to build on our long history of fisheries conservation work in the state. Beyond California, we're working with a range of partners and stakeholders to monitor and address the emerging threat of ocean acidification, already impacting oyster growers on the Pacific Coast.
Join us in our work to protect the bounty of the sea for the future—for those whose jobs depend on it, for people nourished by protein from the sea and for a healthy ocean.
Please take action today to protect the future of America's fisheries.
From the smallest shrimp to the largest bluefin tuna, all ocean fish species benefit from the protections provided through the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). It's thanks to the MSA that our nation is now home to 39 rebuilt fish populations.
Ocean Conservancy's Chris Dorsett answers five questions about NOAA's fisheries management plans for the Gulf of Mexico.
It's time to say no to loopholes, and yes to responsible, science-based fisheries management.

What are Carbon Offsets?
Carbon offsets are voluntary programs that consumers can buy into to help reduce the buildup of carbon pollution that is causing climate change. When you know how much you are contributing to greenhouse gas emissions (see carbon footprint above), you can opt to buy credits to offset those emissions. The major criticism of carbon offsets is that because carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases are so long-lived in the atmosphere, if you somehow pay for something that will offset your emissions, it must last at least 100 years.
Carbon Offset opportunities include renewable energy projects, forest carbon sequestration projects, projects that donate to efforts to reduce the use of fossil fuels or reduce the rate of deforestation, and the like. Such programs vary greatly in terms of their methodologies and offerings.
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) offers the following list of important considerations that they use for their offset program. TNC's program is forest-based but the principles include good considerations. Any project offered by TNC must address certain issues, including:
- "Permanence, which, simply stated, is the life of the project. It wouldn't help to reduce climate change much if a tree were planted or saved one year only to be cut the next. The most desirable forest carbon projects are those where the restored and protected forests are likely to remain intact indefinitely.
- Additionality, which refers to the amount of carbon dioxide captured, stored or prevented from reaching the atmosphere compared to what would happen without the project. In other words, is this something that would have happened anyway?
- Leakage, which occurs when emissions avoided within a site are not eliminated, but rather displaced to another location, or when carbon capture and storage at a site leads to land clearing elsewhere.
- Measurement and monitoring, which entails periodic field measurements of forest growth and associated capture and storage of carbon, as well as, in some cases, analysis of satellite imagery and models of forest growth and deforestation.
- Verification, of carbon benefits by an accredited independent third-party, which occurs periodically throughout the life of a project to ensure it meets its intended goals of carbon storage and that all additionality, measurement, leakage and permanence requirements are being met."
However, it is far better to do everything possible to reduce your emissions than to purchase carbon offsets in the hope that you can mitigate emissions that will persist a hundred years or more.

Best of both worlds
After using a U-boat for many years I am now considering to buy a pontoon next to it.
Ideally it would be an inflatable pontoon with a small electric outboard as I would like to use it on big slow flowing rivers and inshore fly fishing.
I have no experience with pontoons so started looking for info on the Internet. Found great looking ones, with standing decks, lean bars, rear decks and engine mounts.
But I am a bit worried about the fact that with all the ones I saw you are sitting quite high up. Its great to move but I want to be able to use my feet with a couple of fins in order to have my hands free as soon as I get to the intended spot. Anchoring is not often an option and I have my doubts about a drift-sock (wind and current in the same direction?)
So what I am looking for is the best of both worlds between a U-boat and a pontoon, or perhaps the simple solution is to install a height adjustable seat on a high-riding one? As said I have no experience with pontoons.
Any suggestions towards a best solution or leads to specific brands of boats that covered this already are very welcome.
Thanks Adrian
Hi Adrian -
I've been looking at bigger pontoons lately as well... amazing how they can be 'tricked out'.
With larger pontoons, powering by flipper is not really practical IMHO. I find even the smaller ones marginal at best to move with flippers in wind or current. I could be wrong, but they are really oar-driven devices. A small motor would be a good option.
I have the Bucks Bag Bronco, very nice transport vehicle for rivers to class III and short sessions on the coast.

I am afraid you are probably right Juro. Best bet might be a not too big pontoon in order to still be able to kick some bit in position. Real moving with oars and/or a small Minn Kota. So although Scaddens Skykomish Sunrise looks very tempting it will probably be a smaller one like the Colorado River by Trout Unlimited. Just have to find out how that one behaves with flippers.
Thanks for your reply.
Scaddens pontoons are actually not what I meant by 'large', I am not familiar with the Sky' (well the river but not the boat) but I believe it's about the same size as the Bronco. It can be powered but when fishing rivers I found wearing flippers to be a very dangerous proposition because one can not stand up and the abilty to maneuver with the feet along the shore was much more critical than a bit of propulsion mid-stream. Of course I prefer to fish from the bank and use the pontoon for transportation. But even getting in and out with flippers it was very iffy to downright treacherous in a current with flippers.
A motor would be good but the method to raise it from the water must be very quick in a river, and the battery weight minimized. At first thought it seems an even bigger pontoon would work better with a motor.
I know people will differ in opinion but I had an absolute rule on the irver - no anchoring in current. A pontoon boat does not have enough leverage in the current to help you yank a stuck anchor. Not worth trying IMHO.
Good luck!

Thanks for your concern Juro. I can imagine what you mean on your rivers. Allow me to show you what rivers in Holland are like.
I'll also show you the inshore condition the pontoon will be used in. For those in our region: IMHO this is the only inshore place safely fishable with regular bellyboats and pontoons, the so called "Blokkendam" west of Rotterdam. One of the premier spots for fly fishing for European Sea bass in Holland. This dam is made of concrete blocks 6'x6'x6', creating a completely closed kind of lagoon protruding into the North Sea. So one cannot drift to the open sea. Enjoy it while it lasts: within a couple of years it will be land creating an industrial estate being an extension of the Rotterdam harbour!!

4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
Sorry for the misleading Subject header but I want to get everyone's attention not just the regulars.
I have been thinking alot about the attitude different groups have about fly-fishing. With the Politics of the Reel-Time vs. FF forum vs. FF Saltwaters. About all the childish antics in places like Wacky. Or how people hord information and then aren't willing to share it. I am guilt of it too. I have a few spots that I don't want anyone to know about. A few weeks ago I went to a spot that I didn't think anyone know about. It was set up perfect, 24-28" bass in 1ft of water. Awesome sight casting. As I pulled up though I saw a truck with New Jesery plates on it as I walk out I saw two guys standing right on the flat. Doing this at that tide prevented the fish from coming up, basically destroyed my plans. I was pissed. I let them know in every non-verbal way I knew. That evening I went back and ran into the one of the guys. He apologized if he screwed up my plans. A really nice guy all said. I told him he didn't need to apologize, that it was just as much his water as mine. I talked to him about how to fish the place, and we have a great 30-45 minute talk.
In speaking with Juro I found out that this site gets tens of thousands of hits but only about 30 people post on a regular basis. That I don't think is fair. Juro, sorry if I should say these things on the site but I think they need to be said. I post on this site because I have a lot of friends on this board that have helped me and I want to make my knowledge available. I also feel like I owe Juro it. He has done alot for us and one of the best things we can do for him is to help this site.
To all those that take and don't give, well I just want to say that that just sucks, particularly those that are professionals. We understand that this is how you make a living. We can help each other, not just compete.
There must be 20,000 miles of shore line between southern Maine and RI, all the stripers aren't located in a dozen or so places. If we are civil and work together we can develop more location while protecting the fish we love. We should be fighting against the waste of the fish by shameful people who kill fish after fish or keep short fish. By a commercial fishing industry of which 60% or more goes to feed animals in forms like cat food. With conservation there can be thousands of places along the shores of N.England that consistently produce big fish. We need to act more like a community. Sorry for the sermon. If everyone share information it would be a good start. It is hard to pass on the best spots but rather the hitting the same old spots find some new spots. Explore. Give a break to the keeper spots and hit spots that are schooly hang outs. Get a 5wt rod ,3X-4X tippet, #4-#8 flies and hang on. One of my favority is using #4 white gurler this time of year on the bayside. On a 5wt a 19 striper can be a heck of a fight. Anyway ther is my rant for the day. Sorry.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
Well, I'm one of the site lurkers who might have relevant occasional info but by and large keep silent on this board. When I do have something to say, I stick it on another board - simply because it makes sense to have all the comments on a single site, and not shotgun them all over. Also, folks I fish with read and contribute there. I've never met the owners, just makes sense to post there. Most of us know the sites, and the posters' flavor should be familiar.
Now to posting. In years past I wrote up detailed site and fishing info, only to find these often backfired. I'd see as many as a dozen new faces at a spot mentioned the night before, some actually upset at 'josko' because they couldn't find fish there the following day. No $#!t, Sherlock. These posts didn't work for me.
So what kind of info. does it make sense to share? I was out last night and noticed that large (3'+) bass are approaching shore, which didn't happen 'till three weeks later last year. If you look at my today's post, it tries to say that without drawing a crowd. If you fish for big fish at night, it has the necessary and sufficient info to influence your strategy. It is not a tutorial on how and where to catch big fish at night. Saying I got 4 fish 38" - 44" on a fly rod at Fay beach contains a lot less information, and is too presumptious for my taste anyway. I know a half doz. people who are serious about fly rod bass in my area. They've read it and know what it means.
I suppose much info of this sort is disseminated by email, and I respect people who do that. I've sent out a few emails on the topic this am, and also get a trickle back. It balances out, IMO. So do the websites.
At the beginning, there was Reel-time, and it was good. For various reasons, it's factioned, and that also seems to work. Not sure we can control this, anyway. So I've got a doz sites bookmarked and check them more or less regularly, and even post on a few when the content matches the board flavor. I'm not really sure what I could add to this site, for instance, except an occasional gear blurb or a freshwater doh-post. Whatm would you like to see me do?
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I agree with Joskos comments about the various niches the boards have taken to. The one thing that concerns me is that now we have the internet as a tool to zero in on the fish. (not to mention cell phones, gps, IR Images of the gulfstream and more). Without giving specific info, a post can still steer people into the general area. For instance take a guy who is trailoring to the cape each weekend. 3 weeks ago Chatham was hot. Now it's Falmouth. He will go where the postings dictate. There's many boats out there, it must add up at least a little. If only 30 people post and hundreds fish off that info, that seems like a problem. It's nice to have a free flow of info but does it hurt the fishery?
On one of the boards this week I read a post by a guy who who had his first stripers on the fly. He said.."wow...my new goal is a keeper on the fly". All in 1 season? He can do it too-do armed with a few posts. Invariably these debates ALWAYS come down on the "Freedom for the internet" side and the info will never be stemmed. I'm ready to get trounced here. Shields up!
Hey Josko: Boneclave? Joskolater to Wasburn for dinner? C'mon by.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I don't mind driving for a day. Still embarrassed about skunking the Estey brothers last year, though. BTW, if you're interested in heading ofshore, drop me or Larry an email. Tomorrow, anyone? Slowly, but surely we're making sense of the bluefin turf. You haven't seen closed-mouthed until you've tried to talk to those guys...
And another thing. Guiding on upper cape has become a down-n-dirty cutthroat business. i\I wouldn't trust most of those 'gennelmen' not to steal my boat blind, much less expect them to post helpful stuff, or anything other than infomercials ... 'C'mon down, I got space for a few more...' Don't know how to get rid of them - probably can't as long as fishing stays as good as it is.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
That's really too bad about the upper cape... your area is such a unique zone nestled in the warm side of the transition between the north atlantic and the temperate mid-atlantic, buffered by Nantucket Sound and then made into a summer species mixing pot by the Vineyard, Elizabeths and Buzzards Bay. I've even seen puffers at Falmouth, and all kinds of subtropical looking fish and fauna at Woods Hole. Your home waters are clearly the tunoid zone extraordinaire which is probably why the boat operators are so damn ridiculous this time of year.
I've been reading about Terry Nugent's adventures with MikeZ at Lackeys and wondering if the Boneclave should be held elsewhere...
BTW - are you around September 10-12? (The clave would be honored to host a guest appearance by the venerable Josko!)
DOH! I just read the above threads thoroughly!
Great to hear you wouldn't mind driving for a day! Much thanks in advance.
As far as your site contributions, I see your point about posting in one place - but I can tell you we all appreciate your input on this board. I hope it's like another fly shop that you visit once in a while besides the mega-tackle shops where you shop. You're always very welcome here and I know you'll like the guys that hang out here.
I think this site is different in that it's really dedicated to flyfishing except where it comes to a shore lunch of fluke and even then we get a lot on flies http://22.214.171.124/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif
Seriously, your adventures in bluewater are thrilling to read, and any insights you post are appreciated here without any chance of generating spite for a skunking in a spot you describe - not from this group.
I am not saying one's better or worse, just that we are more of a sportsman's club (non-exclusive) as opposed to a town meeting. People are expected to be gentlemen (and ladies) here and get involved because they like being able to get together at this level. No where is this more evident than at our conclaves, which usually go beyond our highest expectations for camaraderie and friendship building.
We sure aren't as big as Jeff's or as old as Reel-time but being a member of all three I can say that we really know how to get together and have a great time in the Forum... not to mention score some great fish!
Great to hear from you again, and I really look forward to getting out on the water with you soon.
best regards,
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
Good points. I wrote that post about a particular group that has actually made arangment to "take over" a spot that memebers on the board discovered or rediscovered. Yes it is frustrating to see al those people. I would just like to see us working together more often, and being more respectful to each other.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
Hey Josko,
I'm sorry your feeling bad about last year. Neither Mike or I have got a clue what you are talking about. We are pretty easy going guys believing that's the best way to get the most enjoyment out of life. So whatever it was don't give it another moment's thought.
My brother and I (especially my brother) have been dreaming about getting a "big" boat and looking for big tunoids. Until the business takes off that's just going to have to wait though. We would be honored to scrub the boat, untangle lines, bring beverages and food, or whatever just for the oportunity to watch and see it done first hand. So if you ever need a couple of hard working deck hands eager to learn drop us a line because we are your guys.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I am not sure if I understand this message and it appears to be a few issues within one message. But I recognized the fact that I mentioned "spots" at the lighthouse. My sole purpose in doing so was to share it with the people I have met in person thought this board. I met Juro years ago at the Lighthouse in Chatham and did not even know about the board until Keith Lincoln said I counld connect with Juro about the South Monomoy trips. I was never tremendously concerned about the general public reading those messages since you really needed to know where to go at the light house plus the fact that even if you are in the spots you have to know how to fish them anyway and they do change from day to day. It was just that there were a few places ,as there always have been at the lighthouse which seem to produce more fish in a given year. So... one of the crew from this board I knew came down and met me and we were in the "spot" and nothing please me more than seeing him hook and land his first keeper after losing one a few minutes earlier. Incidently ,there was never a hugh group of people who showed up after the posts. My only point is that My purpose is to share information with those I have met personally though the board and could care less if someone else decides to show up at these spots ,which I do agree, usually tend to be overrated and are constantly changing. Just my two cents worth. I think it is a great group of true flyfisherman and if bait fisherman shows up so what. One final thing, Thoughout my fishing life, I have caught and released more and bigger fish on a flyrod than I ever have on any other method. We all know that.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I think in the end it's how we decide to conduct ourselves that counts, and also how we look at the great sport of flyfishing. We're probably never going to change the butthead mentality through brute force, but we can by attrition. It's kind of like driving - it only takes one ####### to ruin the whole 4-way intersection. If everyone shows consideration, the concept of four diametrically opposed stop signs works just fine. If we work to create and preserve a great community of sportsmen who respect each other, the environment and the gamefish - it's contagious! I think our conclaves prove that to be true.
Wow, it's been a great season and I really look forward to the part that follows the current August slump! Can you imagine the fishing's going to get much, much BETTER???
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
Great thread Nathan! I posted some other thoughts under a different heading.
On the hits without the posts... I am one of those people who tends to visit this and other sites regularly. I rarely post. One reason for my 'lurking' is that I have been so damn busy this summer I have not done a lot of fishing. So, on that front I rarely can contribute. Also, it does take time to write a meaningful post, and I'm not one for posting just for posting's sake. To a certain extent I am doing my 'fishing' this year via the posted reports, which is a pisser. Earlier this year I got a login name and password for this and other sites, with the full intention of contributing, but it hasn't happened. Maybe next year.
I know that Juro has some great and grand ideas for this site, and in time most will probably bear fruit. Considering some of the crap that permeates some other sites (e.g.,6 posts in a row saying 'cool' or 'awesome' but nothing else, and even personal attacks), I like this site because the crap is minimal. That is a quality that will contribute to the site's longevity. Remember, this is a relatively new site, so will mature in time.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I'll chime in here too. I have to admit that I don't check this site as regularly as I should given the amount of talent that seems to hang out here. Josko's comment about guides posting only for free commercials is one of the reasons I don't post too often on where I'm finding fish. I don't want to be known for that, and I also don't want to be lumped in with the others who do. If I feel I can contribute constructively to something, I usually will. I have however found that I am biting my tongue a lot more this season than in years past, and I can't really give an explaination for why. Maybe I am enjoying just sitting back and watching the action. I don't log on to any of the sites with the expectaion that I will see a post and run out and successfully fish the areas mentioned. I think if you rely on posts to figure out your next move, you'll be sorely disappointed. I look at these bulletin boards as a general guide when it comes to fishing spots or action. We all know that just because someone caught X-number of bass in location Z on night Y with the tide at stage P and using lure K with retreive D, that doesn't mean much 24 or even 3 hours later. What it can tell you is that maybe the fish have begun to move to certain geographical areas (like The Harbor) or that a change of technique is needed. If you need a good solvent to remove glue from your deck, which knots folks like to use, or want to know where others have found a particular product, I think the information on these bulletin boards can be very useful. Sometimes it's just plain fun to tell other about a wonderful day on the water with lots of big fish, but I just haven't found it be as personally satisfying lately to spill my guts. I hope that I haven't offended anyone (another reason I don't post very often) and that everyone knows my
e-mailbox is always open.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
Man, I didn't mean to make everyone feel bad. I just want to vent about a few issues. That post was about three things
1. 99% of people are great. You don't always need to post. I was calling out the 1% that use this and other boards to get information but are never willing to share their knowledge. Particulary some guides that seem to show up with parties right after we have a successful clave, yet are never willing to share there knowledge. I am not expection them to share all the specifics but they should throw some bones.
2. I just wanted to see more posts on the board in general. Juro's put alot of work into this site and the best way to give back is by posting.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
You did not make me feel bad and I agree with you absolutly on those two points. Juro has done the job and does need the type of support you stated. Thanks.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I have to add, since I see no advertising on this board, I assume there is no revenue. If that's the case (please correct me if I'm wrong) this thing has to eventually get payed for by other means (someones pocket). There's probably a way to get sponsorship, but if it comes down to keeping this thing going, let me be the first to say I would gladly pitch in a few bucks if the hat were passed in some way. This board is much more than just another fishing website to me.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I would as well, Jeff Roop brought the same subject matter up at my place where we gathered after the Friday Rip trip. I am sure we could muster that kind of support.

does anyone know any information on this??????
does anyone know any information on this??????
They've been working for a while on an upgraded OT Y-wing, and it sounds like it's going to come out next year. Hopefully it will be out in a vintage box, but there's nothing yet to suggest that it will be. I think they're going to look at the success of the AT-AT, Snowspeeder, and TIE Fighter before doing more vintage-box vehicles.

My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
would love to get a new updated more detailed and realistic looking Y-Wing from Hasbro...this time with a removable Astromech droid, new SA pilot and perhaps even a a new color scheme......
this is by far one of my favorite ships from the trilogy. as far as the Vintage packaging....to be honest while it's a great nostaligia piece (I remember getting the Y-Wing for Christmas in the ROTJ package back in 1983) the packaging is not really doing it for me, I mean it's awesome and I would love to have them but I don't have the room to keep things mint in the package and no place to display them...plus I wuld want to open the box and play with the toy so then I'm left with an empty cardboard box that still takes up room...
I think I would rather Hasbro include like an exclusive print of the Vintage package in each of the vehicle releases as well as perhaps a small scale package of it that can be displayed on a shelf with a couple dozen others for a really cool mini scene. Perhaps they can make the boxes in various sizes maybe the largest for at 7" wide by 6" tall( for something like the Falcon, AT-AT and shuttle, and perhaps for the small starfighter scale the can be 4"x6" and the small craft (ie speeder bike etc) can be 3.5"x5". these can kinda be like the mock up cereal boxes for CV. it would be really cool if these had a small model of the ship in them as well
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Is the Tie Bomber exclusive for Wal-Mart going to be in vintage packaging?
Hasbro is already releasing the TRU pilot 3-packs.....

Enjoy Asian-style dinner tonight with these glazed beef tenderloins, rice and a savory lemongrass sauce.
Why it Works: Look to Lemongrass
Once a mysterious ingredient in Thai restaurants, lemongrass is now available in many supermarkets. Resembling a green reed, lemongrass is an ancient herb of Southeast Asia. Its flavor is reminiscent of citrus, bay leaves and pepper, and cuts through the more pungent ingredients of Thai cooking. As with lots of herbs, it's the oils in the lemon grass taht hold all the flavor, so you may want to crush the stalk before you chop it in this recipe.
Recipe Rx: Cutting the Grass
At first, lemon grass doesnt' even look edible. However, with a few easy steps it will be ready for this recipe. First, pick a stalk that is thick, heavy and not overly woody and has no brown discoloration. Make sure it has a delicate citrus perfume and the bulb is tightly bound together. Next, use a knife or your fingernails to remove the thick outer leaves. You should see a tender white/yellow inner stalk. Slice this stalk into very thin circles and then use the side of your knife to lightly crush the slices. This releases the oils and the flavor from the stalk. The tough outer leaves can cleaned and added to Thai accent; just remember to discard before eating.

William H. Hannon Foundation Donates $1 Million for Scholarships to LMU Alumni
The William H. Hannon Foundation will fund a $1 million scholarship at Loyola Law School for the benefit of graduates of Loyola Marymount University (LMU). This donation is the largest scholarship gift in the Law School's history designated for students from a single alma mater.
The new William H. Hannon Scholarship will be awarded to its first recipients in the 2014-2015 academic year. To qualify for the scholarship, students must be graduates of LMU, have strong academic standing and financial need. Alumni of the undergraduate program at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) have historically been well represented at Loyola, the law school of LMU. The Law School counts nearly 1,000 LMU alumni in its graduate ranks, and 56 LMU alumni are currently enrolled as law students.
"These scholarships are critical in helping students obtain a law school education that might otherwise be out of their reach," said Victor Gold, Fritz B. Burns Dean of Loyola Law School. "The William H. Hannon Foundation is equipping a new generation of students with the skills and knowledge they will be able to use to contribute back to society."
The William H. Hannon Foundation has longstanding ties to the Law School and LMU. It was founded by William H. Hannon (1913-1999), a 1937 alumnus of LMU, whose mother struck a Depression-era deal with university leadership to allow Hannon to attend free of charge, with a promise to repay his $800 tuition after he graduated. During his lifetime, Hannon, and now his foundation, have repaid his tuition many thousands of times over.
"This gift continues my uncle's legacy of helping those LMU students who wish to attend law school achieve their goals of making a difference in the world, much as LMU helped my uncle reach his dream of attending college," said Kathleen Aikenhead, William H. Hannon Foundation president and chair of the LMU Board of Trustees.
After graduating from LMU, Hannon went on to a successful career in real estate development, becoming vice president and director of Fritz B. Burns & Associates before founding his own firm, the Hannon Realty Corporation. The William H. Hannon Foundation has been a longtime contributor to LMU and the Law School, where the library's Hannon Atrium is one of the most popular study areas on campus. In addition, the foundation has funded the William Hannon Distinguished Professor of Law Chair, now held by Professor Justin Hughes. Hannon also gave generously of his time to LMU, serving as regent and honorary trustee until his death in 1999.

12.19: Natural Resource Conservation
Can you make a difference?
Yes! You can conserve natural resources every day with every decision you make. Should you recycle that can? Yes! Should you buy a bottle of water or drink from the water fountain? Fountain! Should you walk or ride your bike to school or ask for a ride? Walk - it's good exercise too!
Conserving Natural Resources
So that people in developed nations maintain a good lifestyle and people in developing nations have the ability to improve their lifestyles, natural resources must be conserved and protected (Figure below). People are researching ways to find renewable alternatives to non-renewable resources. Here is a checklist of ways to conserve resources:
- Buy less stuff (use items as long as you can, and ask yourself if you really need something new).
- Reduce excess packaging (drink tap water instead of water from plastic bottles).
- Recycle materials such as metal cans, old cell phones, and plastic bottles.
- Purchase products made from recycled materials.
- Reduce pollution so that resources are maintained.
- Prevent soil erosion.
- Plant new trees to replace those that are cut down.
- Drive cars less, take public transportation, bicycle, or walk.
- Conserve energy at home (turn out lights when they are not needed).
Conserving natural resources are explored in a set of National Geographic videos found at http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/environment/habitats-environment/rainforests. Search for these videos:
- "Mamirarua" is a sustainable development reserve that is protecting the Amazon
- "Vancouver Rain Forest" explores an alliance between conservationists and logging companies
Or find ways to go green from National Geographic Conservation in Action series: http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/environment/going-green-environment/conservation-in-action
- "Sustainable Logging"
- The problem with plastic bags is discussed in "Edward Norton: Bag the Bag"
- Trying to mitigate problems caused by intensive logging in Ecuador while helping the people who live there improve their standards of living is in "Ecuador Conservation"
- To conserve natural resources it is important to use less resources or even eliminate the use of some resources.
- It is important to watch unintended consumption; e.g. with packaging.
- To reduce resource use, work on making some renewable: plant trees or use recycled products.

Hey Larry,
It's good to hear from you and our best wishes as well.
I truly think that your shoot is successful and it is, because it's relevant. You attract new shooters and allow folks to pattern their guns, using different combos and you also keep prices reasonable.
I also agree that not every event should be considered a fundraiser. That can drive people away.
This event was conceived 17 years ago when shotshells and turkey chokes really did not exist to any real degree and while the products have changed, the standards (rules) have not.
I don't think most shooters relate to how many pellets can be shot in a 3" circle. There were only 18 shooters that shot more than 4-5 times, only 24 who shot at all and that was at the "World Championship"! A new shooter who traveled 1000+ miles to attend, summed it up by asking, "What's the point? What's the relevance if you win?"
I think it's time to think of some new ways to make this sport interesting, less expensive and again relate to turkey hunters. I have some ideas and would like to hear yours and those of others.

As the city considers expanding its community garden program, Portland has the opportunity to delve deeper into urban permaculture ("permanent agriculture") — building ecological systems that model nature, with plants that work together with minimal maintenance to create self-sustaining biodiversity, on city land.
On Monday, March 19, at 6 pm at the Merrill Auditorium rehearsal hall, the city will host a public forum about community gardens, exploring how they fit into the local food network, what can be done to increase participation and access, and if any city-owned land may be appropriate for program expansion. This is the first forum of its kind, and Troy Moon, of the city's Department of Public Services, hopes for broad participation from both current and potential gardeners, as well as those who are interested in eating local and promoting healthy lifestyles.
A spate of spring-like days might have you thinking about getting your hands dirty — raking leaves, pulling weeds, and planning your 2012 garden. If you're like me, an apartment dweller who lacks substantial backyard or porch space for planting, you may have considered signing up for one of Portland's 118 community garden plots. If so, you're outta luck (for now): the program is thriving and the waitlist for plots exceeds 100 names.
However, that's kind of good news, too. According to Moon, the high demand has spurred Portland officials to look into "seeing if there are additional [city-owned land] parcels that would be suitable for gardens that would accommodate that need."
In addition to the 118 plots at existing locations on Valley Street, Clark Street, North Street, and in Payson Park, there are three gardens run by neighborhood associations (in Deering Center, Riverton, and Peaks Island). Students at Casco Bay High School, Lincoln Middle School, and Longfellow Elementary School, among others, have also created community gardens on school grounds, with help from several educational and non-profit institutions as well as local volunteers. Cultivating Community, the Portland-based food project that promotes sustainable agriculture in urban settings, has its own garden on Boyd Street.
Now, as Portlanders look toward the future of city horticulture, we should think beyond traditional gardens, to how community agriculture initiatives can help address issues like food security and nutrition.
Consider this ambitious example from Seattle: Seven acre of a public park are being transformed into a municipal "food forest" with hundreds of edible plants whose fruits (and nuts, and veggies) will be up for grabs to people who wander through.
While the Seattle project presents its own questions — To whom does the food belong? Who is responsible for tending to the land? Are there food safety and liability issues? — it's also a bold take on urban agriculture.
When it comes to potential future sites in Portland, there are many, says Lisa Fernandes, director of the Portland-based Resilience Hub, which runs the Portland Maine Permaculture group. "I just drive down the street and I see food," she says. "The next wave of permaculture in Maine is how we apply these concepts in marginal or public spaces. We've barely scratched the surface."

The development of Reinhardt's black paintings began in 1948 when he abandoned cursive markmaking for a geometric manner. His work became increasingly formalised over the next few years, 1950-53 marking the evolution to rigidly vertical and horizontal shapes in red, blue or green paintings. The trisected composition (which divided the square canvas into nine equal squares) first appeared in his work in 1952. By 1953 Reinhardt's work was predominantly monochromatic and increasingly monotonal, and by 1956 he had made the decision to paint dark paintings exclusively. The black paintings assumed various shapes, usually tall and narrow, but including square paintings of various sizes such as the Australian National Gallery's work. In 1960 Reinhardt further restricted the format of his work to a 5' square (152.6 x 152.6 cm), maintaining these dimensions until his death in 1967.
As a 6½-' square (198.4 x 198.4 cm) the Gallery's painting is larger than the size Reinhardt eventually decided was ideal, but Painting 1954-1958 anticipates the final configuration, a formula which the artist described as:
A square 'neutral, shapeless' canvas, five feet wide, five feet high, as high as a man, as wide as a man's outstretched arms 'not large, not small, sizeless', trisected 'no composition', one horizontal form negating one vertical form 'formless, no top, no bottom, directionless', three 'more or less' dark 'lightless' no- contrasting 'colourless' colours, brushwork brushed out to remove brushwork, a matte, flat, freedhand painted surface 'glossless, textureless, non-linear, no hard edge, no soft edge' which does not reflect its surroundings — a pure, abstract, non-objective, timeless, spaceless, changeless relationless, disinterested painting — an object that is self-conscious 'no unconsciousness' ideal, transcendent, aware of no thing but art 'absolutely no anti-art'.1
The inscription in Reinhardt's hand on the backing-board of the Gallery's painting — 'Ad ReinHardt 1954-1958' — is not necessarily a reliable guide to the dating of this work. It was usual for Reinhardt to date his canvases as they left his studio for exhibition, according them the year they were first exhibited rather than the time he actually pained them. Months, even years, might elapse between the completion of a painting and its exhibition. The span dates inscribed by the artist — 1954 to 1958 — may broadly refer to the completion of the work in that period or to continued work on the painting over that period.
However, the extreme sensitivity of the surface of the black paintings (a single fingerprint can marr the entire painting) meant that Reinhardt often took it upon himself to restore his works after exhibiting them. In repainting the surface he often changed the work and it has been suggested that the span dates indicate 'that they were executed in two campaigns'.2
To date there is no firm evidence to confirm an earlier exhibition date than the 1963 showing at Dwan Gallery, Los Angeles. In the catalogue of the exhibition held at the Jewish Museum, New York, in the winter of 1966-67, the date 1954-58 is reiterated in the checklist prepared with the assistance of the artist. Abstract painting, black (private collection, Switzerland) is the only known painting of dimensions similar to those of the Gallery's work, the largest of the square paintings, and has also been dated to about 1954-56.3

Cliffs Natural Resources is shutting down production at Wabush Mines, affecting 500 workers currently employed there.
The news was confirmed in an official statement by the company. The statement was not specific to the status of Wabush Mines, but instead focused on a more than 50 per cent slash in the company's capital spending across its business year over year.
Premier Tom Marshall has issued a statement in response to the news.
"The decision by Cliffs Natural Resources to idle its mining and processing operations at the Scully Iron Ore Mine in Wabush is very disappointing. While we believe this was undoubtedly a difficult decision for Cliffs, our thoughts are with employees of the mine and their families during this challenging time," Marshall said.
"I will be in Wabush this week with Ministers Dalley and McGrath for discussions with stakeholders. We will continue to further opportunities for development in Labrador West. We remain confident in the future of the mining industry in the region."
Wabush Mines started pulling ore from the Scully Mine in 1965. The ore goes to a concentrating plant at site and is then moved, by rail, to Point Noire, Que.
The total number for workers being affected by the idling of the Scully mine includes both workers on the ground in Wabush and workers at the port.
The Cliffs operation in Labrador shipped about three million tonnes of iron ore concentrate in 2012, feeding mining royalties into the provincial coffers, in addition to offering worker employment.
In 2012, Cliffs idled its pellet plant citing high production costs and lower prices.
In that same year the provincial government recorded 19 million tonnes of iron ore shipments from the Labrador mines, or about 10 per cent more than the year prior. However, lower prices meant the overall value of those iron ore shipments dropped by 12 per cent.
The news of Cliffs' capital spending cuts, in addition to the idling of Wabush Mines is notable for mine workers in the Labrador Trough.
In 2013, the company spent $862 million on capital projects. In 2014, the plan is for only $375-$425 million in spending. That change is attributable to cut backs for the company's plans for the Bloom lake Mine in Quebec — another hit for Labrador Trough miners.
Provided here in full is the relevant excerpt from the company's statement on its capital spending reductions, issued shortly after 6:30 p.m. NLT:
Wabush Mine
Cliffs' Wabush Scully Mine in Newfoundland and Labrador will be idled by the end of the first quarter of 2014. With costs unsustainably high, including fourth-quarter 2013 cash costs of $143 per ton, it is not economically viable to continue running this operation. As previously disclosed, Cliffs idled Wabush Mine's Pointe Noire pellet plant in June of 2013. Approximately 500 employees at both the Wabush Scully Mine and the Pointe Noire rail and port operation in Québec will be impacted by these actions.
Gary Halverson continued, "Over the past three years we have seen pricing drop and Wabush Mine's costs escalate all while we have made significant capital investments into the operation. This is a regrettable but necessary decision. We simply cannot continue operating a high-cost mine while pricing and freight markets are so volatile. We do value the hard work of all our employees and are committed to easing the transition for the people and communities, including providing severance and other support services as a result of this decision."
Cliffs anticipates incurring idle costs related to Wabush Mine of approximately $100 million in 2014. Also, due to the idling of Wabush Mine, Cliffs' will record impairment and write-off charges of approximately $183 million, which will be reflected in its fourth-quarter 2013 results. Cliffs will continue operating the port at Pointe Noire in Sept-Îles, Que.
(Earlier story)
Speculation is circulating around the future or, more accurately, the potential closure of Wabush Mines.
The iron ore mine is operated by Cliffs Natural Resources.
There have been reports of a meeting this evening between company representatives and union officials.
A spokeswoman for the company has told The Telegram a statement is being drafted in relation to the future of the mine and should be expected within the hour. or before 7 p.m.
According to a news report first made in La Presse on Nov. 1, the Scully mine in Wabush was given 90 days to show its profitability or be closed.
The Telegram will post further information as it becomes available.

Natural gas prices have declined roughly 19% since April, when they reached a high near $4.40. Year to date, natural gas prices are up roughly 6%.
The United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) fell 36 cents, or 2%, to$17.68 Wednesday. The fund saw the second most inflows last month among commodity funds, at $100 million, behind the United States Oil Fund (USO), with inflows of $265 million.
The oil fund rose 0.7% Wednesday along with the price for the U.S. oil benchmark. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 74 cents to $93.74 per barrel.
Numbers three and four on the commodity-fund inflows list were the supercharged VelocityShares 3x Long Natural Gas ETN (UGAZ), which fell 5.8% Wednesday, and ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Crude Oil (UCO), up 1.5%.
Barclays expects more weakness ahead for commodities funds, as colleague Brendan Conway reported last week.

MapQuest Emeritus at Harden Ranch Location
The assisted living residence Emeritus of Harden Ranch offers: gardens aplenty, a patio, a lounge with fireplaces, abundant trees, easy access to the quiet outdoors, a Mission-style setting and everything that promotes a soothing environment.
The key innovation is providing a high standard of individualized care while maximizing personal freedom in an unparalleled setting. In other words, this is as far from an institutionalized setting as you can get.
The residence will make a home for two kinds of residents. First are the memory care residents, who have Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. The individualized program allows the staff to create appropriate routines for these residents. The beauty of Emeritus at Harden Ranch is how these residents can benefit from a supportive environment while still having the freedom to move freely in a secured environment.
Meanwhile, the assisted living residents do not need the same level of care as the memory care residents. They receive basic and personal care services, meals, housecleaning, transportation and activities.

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 6, September 30, 1994
List of Differences Between T3D and Y-MP
As a T3D user consultant, I usually get calls when something is not working. It usually isn't long into the conversation when the users says: " ...but it works on the Y-MP." Of course they are different machines but sometimes the differences to the user seem not related to being a MPP. I'd like to start a list of differences between the two machines for future reference. I'll start the list with two items:
- Data type sizes are not the same (Newsletter #5)
- Uninitialized variables are different (this Newsletter (#6))
Uninitialized Variables are DifferentThis comes up in many different forms but it can be illustrated with a simple program:
print *, a endOn the Y-MP, the results is 0. and on the T3D the result is NaN. There are simple solutions and sometimes warnings from the compilers, but it catches a lot of users moving code from the Y-MP to the T3D.
Code Sizes on the T3DA while ago a user asked: "What is the size of the O.S. on the T3D?". I haven't been able to find an official answer, but I think I have the answer to another related question. Everyone knows that the memory on a ARSC T3D PE is 16MBs, then from knowing the size of the O.S. we can estimate the amount of memory available to the users as:
size of largest user program = 16MB - size of O.S.By experiment, we can find a better estimate of the size of the largest possible user program. The easiest place to start is with something as simple as a single PE and a single global array. This is the "Private" model of PE memory configuration. The test program (base.c) is:
static int a[ XXX ]; main( ) { int xxx; xxx = XXX; printf( "total static memory = %d bytes on %d ints\n", sizeof(int)*XXX, xxx ); }and is executed on the T3D with a shell script such as the following:
#csh foreach SIZE ( 1 1024 2048 4096 1480000 1520000 1560000 1600000 ) echo $SIZE ;\ sed "s/XXX/$SIZE/" base.c > try.c;\ /mpp/bin/cc -X 1 -c try.c ;\ /mpp/bin/mppldr try.o ;\ mppsize a.out ;\ memsize a.out ;\ a.out endWe can collect a lot of data quickly and tie together the relations between the following:
- The size of the user's array
- The output from mppsize
- The output from memsize
static int a[ 1 ]; main( ) { int xxx; xxx = 1; printf( "total static memory = %d bytes on %d ints\n", sizeof(int)*XXX, 1 ); }(I can think of smaller programs, but probably none are very useful programs.)
relevant output from mppsize:
154896 (decimal) bytes will be initialized from disk. 28432 (decimal) bytes are required for the symbol table. 1392 (decimal) bytes are required for the header. 184720 (decimal) bytes totaloutput from memsize:
Memory size is 1734008 bytesoutput from user program:
total static memory = 8 bytes on 1 intsSo we might say that the space available to the user on the T3D is
16MB - smallest possible program = 16000000 - 1734008 = 14,265,992 bytesthis is close but we have a more accurate estimate below.
Increasing XXX doesn't show a change until XXX = 5 then we have:
relevant output from mppsize:
154928 (decimal) bytes will be initialized from disk. 28432 (decimal) bytes are required for the symbol table. 1392 (decimal) bytes are required for the header. 184752 (decimal) bytes totalSo we know:
- The array a[ ] is part of the space initialized from disk
- The space from disk is allocated in 32 byte blocks
mppexec: application too large or bad a.outSo now using the shell script above, we can hunt for how large we can make the array a[] before we get this error message. Currently at ARSC we get:
1541000 Memory size is 14061976 bytes total static memory = 12328000 bytes on 1541000 ints 1542000 Memory size is 14069976 bytes mppexec: application too large or bad a.outSo a user could have an array of 12.3 MB (and little else) on a 16MB PE at ARSC. Now if we can estimate that if the the total 16MB is just the sum of the O.S. and the user's program then the O.S. has a size of about 3.5MB. This isn't as useful as just saying that on a single PE, about 12MB of memory is available to the user.
This "experimental" method has the advantage of being uptodate as soon as it is run. With a change to the T3D MAX operating system, the size of the operating system probably increases and the users can immediately know by how much by comparing experimental runs of before and after the change.
There are lots of other questions that can be answered with estimates like this and we will try these in the next few newsletters.
The mppldr will issue an error when too large a program is linked for the T3D. Here is an example from my LAPACK efforts:

Alternate name: White Buckeye
Family: Hippocastanaceae, Horse-chestnut view all from this family
Description White buckeye or Texas buckeye is a small, multi-trunked tree, 10-25 ft., which can reach 50 ft. It is similar to Ohio buckeye but smaller in all parts. Clusters of pale-yellow blooms; palmately compound, glossy leaves; and an open-spreading crown are the tree's landscape attributes. White buckeye is deciduous.
Warning Seeds are poisonous to humans if eaten. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.
Habitat Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Watersides (fresh).
Range Plains, Great Lakes, Rocky Mountains, New England, Texas, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast.
Comments This is a good specimen tree for a small space. It is better adapted to hot, dry conditions than the similar Ohio buckeye.
Exposure Preference Sun to partial sun.
Flower May
Native Distribution C. Texas, n. to e. Kansas; cultivated westward
Site Preference Wooded ravines; hillsides
Soil Preference Sand, limestone or granite soils.

Still the total package
Pros: Indestructible, comfortable, well-isolating, great detail and clarity
Cons: Fairly analytical sound, treble can be aggressive and unnatural, small soundstage
The HD25-1 has been my favorite (trans)portable headphone for quite a few months. I spend a few nights a week away from my home rig and the HD25 works wonders with my iBasso D10 and netbook. Hi-fi on the go has never been so rugged and simple. Best of all is their sonic versatility – though my backup portables, the AKG K181Dj, excel with certain genres and recordings, the Sennheisers perform more than adequately with anything I can throw at them.
Build Quality: When it comes to build quality, Sennheiser's flagship portables can do no wrong. The structure of the HD25 is painfully elementary. They are neither flat-folding nor collapsible, with very simple rotating joints and removable metal hardware. The rough black plastic is resistant to cracks and scratches. A thick and sturdy steel cable, terminated in a beefy L-plug, completes the picture. The headphones are also very light and not likely to get damaged from falls. Lastly, every single part of the headphones is user-replaceable. From the detachable cabling to the headband padding to the cups and joints, the HD25 can be disassembled completely in just a few minutes.
Comfort: The HD25 is surprisingly light compared to headphones such as the AKG K181 and M-Audio Q40. The adjustable dual headband exerts very little pressure – the majority of the force is applied by the supraaural coupling. Though clamping force is fairly strong in the HD25, the structure does a great job of distributing it over the entire surface of the pads. The cups have a good range of motion despite lacking any joints whatsoever and conform very well to the shape of one's head. Vinyl pads come installed on stock HD25s but some versions include the optional velour pads as well. Even if that isn't the case, at $7+shipping the velour pads are a worthy investment, providing a comfort improvement at the expense of a tiny bit of isolation. Overall comfort falls just behind the likes of the impossibly light Senn PX100s and the circumaural CAL!.
Isolation: Though in general portable headphones can never isolate as well as IEMs, the HD25 can compete with certain shallow-insertion in-ears. While the vinyl pads isolate just a bit more than the velour ones, the tradeoff is unlikely to be worth it for most users. Even with the velour pads the isolation crown of the HD25-1 can be usurped only the hard-clamping AKGs and only if you're lucky enough to get the AKGs to seal properly.
Sound: Upon first hearing the HD25-1 I was absolutely convinced that I would be giving them a perfect score in sound quality. Having owned them for a while, however, I can't help but notice that for $200 headphones they are just slightly lacking here and there. But the fact that I am still using them as my primary portables is certainly telling of the fact that they are a competitive product. They are well-balanced, have good clarity and detail, and are quite transparent when it comes to sources. The bass is tight and accurate. It's hard-hitting in character and more punchy than powerful as opposed to something like the K181Dj or M-Audio Q40. It has impressive extension, though it won't keep up with the M-Audios down to the lowest reaches. It is also well-textured and does not bleed into the midrange. For a portable headphone the quantity of bass is just right – a bit more than what one would expect from an analytical headphone but far from AKG K81/K181 quantity.
The mids are neutral, clear, and detailed. Articulation is very good and sounds are well-separated. However, the HD25 is lacking noticeably in both soundstage width and depth, at least when compared to most full-size headphones. Most of the other closed portables I own don't exactly shine in soundstaging either but I can't help but be disappointed that the smaller and cheaper PX200-II has a more spacious sound. Sheer size aside, soundstage positioning is fairly precise and instrumental separation is excellent on all but the densest tracks. Towards the upper midrange the HD25-1 struggles to stay smooth and as a result is very unforgiving of sibilant tracks. The high end is quite present and reasonably extended but comes off a bit edgy and clinical at times. The overall sound, though, is quite pleasant and works particularly well for genres not dependent on soundstage size for the full experience. All of my quibbles aside, the HD25 is as good for use on the go as any portable headphone I have heard.
Value. (MSRP: $299.95; Street Price: $199) By far the most expensive headphone of the bunch, both in street price and MSRP, the HD25-1 is on another level in terms of balance and detail compared to all of the other featured portables. Compared, however, to full-size cans in the price range, as it sometimes is, the HD25 can come off as dull and rather compressed-sounding because of the narrow stage. The hard treble can also be a bit fatiguing for home use. But of course such comparisons are unfair precisely because I am not comfortable wearing my full-size cans outside while using the HD25 comes naturally. It is this versatility that makes the Sennheisers well-worth the $200 price tag and one of the easiest portable headphones to recommend.
Manufacturer Specs:
Frequency Response:16-22,000 Hz
Impedance:70 Ω
Sensitivity:120 dB SPL/1mW
Cord:5ft (1.5m), single-sided; Angled Plug
Space-Saving Mechanism:N/A

Is it tapering or tightening?
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke insisted today's decision to put the brakes on its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program is not a sign of tightening monetary policy, adding that "highly accommodative fiscal policy remains appropriate."
"This is not intended to be a tightening," Bernanke told reporters during a press conference following today's Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
Asset purchases will contiinue with "measured" reductions at future meetings depending on economic dtata, Bernanke said.
The Fed remains committed to keeping short-term interest rates low. Bernanke says the federal fund rate isn't expected to rise until 2015, Bernanke told reporters at today's press conference.
However, the FOMC statement cautions that future actions are not on "a preset course." Bernanke added that the central bank can ramp up quantative easing if needed.

Recommended fits
The tolerances for the bore and outside diameter of rolling bearings are standardized internationally (→ Tolerances).
To achieve an interference or loose fit for metric bearings with a cylindrical bore and outside surface, suitable tolerance classes for the bearing seat on the shaft and in the housing bore are selected from the ISO tolerance system. Only a limited number of ISO tolerance classes need be considered for the shaft and housing seats for rolling bearings. The location of the most commonly used tolerance classes relative to the bearing bore and outside diameter surface are shown in fig. 1 (valid for bearings with Normal tolerances).
Each ISO tolerance class is identified by a letter and a number. The letter, lower case for shaft diameters and upper case for housing bores, locates the tolerance zone relative to the nominal dimension. The number indicates the range of the tolerance zone. The higher the number, the larger the tolerance zone.
Recommendations for bearing fits for solid steel shafts are provided in the tables referenced in the following:
Recommendations for bearing fits for cast iron and steel housings are provided in the tables referenced in the following:
These recommendations are based on the general selection guidelines described above, which take developments in bearing and housing materials, design and manufacturing into account. Modern bearings and housings can accommodate substantially heavier loads than was previously possible. The recommendations given here reflect these improvements.
All ISO tolerance classes are valid with the envelope requirement (such as H7) in accordance with ISO 14405-1:2010. For practical reasons, this is not indicated in the tables.
ISO 14405-1:2010 offers more possibilities to specify fits. For additional information, contact the SKF application engineering service.

Couldnt be happier :)
5 weeks ago i recieved my 35 gallon long rectangle tank from a good friend, already had in mind what was going into it, cycled it for 3.5 weeks, everything is stable as can be now, went to my local pets store and got my baby pleco and a medium piece of drift wood ( buying another piece tomorow) and some good food, also have good veggies for him too, floated him in my tank for 30 min and set him free, he has been swimming around free from the 10 gallon tank he was in with no care in the world, i do no he will out grow the tank, then ill put him in my 120 gallon, just wanted to share how good of an experience it has been to get him to a home other than a pets store :) pics will be added of this little guy :)
Nice. Its always really cool when you can see them enjoying the extra room they have. Is it a standard? We just picked up a green phantom (L200 Hi-Fin) recently and have loved having him in our 55. I cant wait till the light doesn't bother him tho. Its hard to get a really good look at him in all his glory when he only comes out in the dark."A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be. Lay me down and let the water wash over me, wash over me." -Mickey Newbury

Yada, Yada...... Yada?
Good evening,
The overhaul of the E.S.A. is on hold now, but a vote may be near! Now is the time to contact your Congressman or Woman and let them know that any change to the E.S.A. is unacceptable.
Worldwide, aprox. 7200 species of animals are endangered or threatend. Besides Fish, there are also Coral, Great Apes, Monarch Butterflys, Marine Turtles, Whales and Dolphins. In the United States there are 970+ endangered and 270+ threatened animal species. Main reason.......Habitat destruction!
The Department of Interior passed its spending bill for 06, and Conservation suffered, loosing $700 Mill. from last years total. Only a few areas saw increases including the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Every State in the West, indeed every State in the Nation has some form of Species Habitat reintroduction, upgrade, maintainence issue that is ongoing.
Each one of these issues, and many others need our attention, the Idaho Fish and Game on-line input for upgrades in fishing regs. that is accessable here on the Forum is one that comes to mind.
Heres an easy one.
Want to make a huge difference in the Enviromental scene this weekend, or this month?
The Oregon Great Fall Beach Clean-up is this Saturday, hope to see you out there. But you dont have to live here to make the same impact. Sometime this month, grab a couple of trash bags and go down to the waterway, with the kids or the little woman, or by yourself, and spend a few hours cleaning up. Those 1000 or so species will thank you for it.
Help....They can't ask for themselves, but as a friend I'm asking for them.

Provided, however, the trial court may file with the district court a certified copy of its official file and retain its original file if ordered by the magistrate. Upon determination of any appeal to the district court, the original clerk's record shall be returned to the trial court together with a certified copy of the order or other disposition rendered by the district court on appeal. No copies of the clerk's record need be prepared unless ordered by the magistrate or by the district court.
