U.S. 101 widening survives budget cuts
Published on Wed, Dec 24, 2008 by

The U.S. Highway 101 widening project remains funded but that's about where the good news stops after last week's release of Gov. Chris Gregoire proposed 2009-2011 state budget.
"It's going to be a very brutal session and the budget will dominate all other news. There's so much on the chopping block, it's hard to wrap your mind around it, said Rep. Lynn Kessler, D-Hoquiam, Dec. 19.
Kessler, along with Rep. Kevin Van De Wege, D-Sequim, and Sen. Jim Hargrove, D-Hoquiam, represents the 24 District which includes Clallam and Jefferson counties and one third of Grays Harbor County.
The 2009 Legislature's 105-day session begins Jan. 12 and is scheduled to adjourn on April 26.
Lawmakers will be writing a two-year state operating budget for July 2009-June 2011 as well as budgets for capital projects and transportation.
"I just got out of a budget meeting and we talked about how to get out by April 26. It will take a lot of discipline," Kessler said on Friday.
The House of Representatives will release its budget as soon as the Senate sends over its budget, she said.
"Then we'll pass ours and then negotiate a final one to send to the governor. This budget the governor released isn't our budget," Kessler said.
"The good news is the U.S. Highway 101 widening project is on time and in the budget. I wanted to make sure that didn't get left out," she said.
The $50 million project will widen 2.5 miles of U.S. Highway 101 to four lanes between Kitchen-Dick and Shore roads. It includes spending $19 million in the 2009-2011 biennium for preliminary engineering, environmental work and buying rights of way. Another $22 million is budgeted for 2011-2013 for the actual roadway widening, followed by $9 million in 2013-2015.
"I think everyone will be happy to know that money's still in there. The bad news is there's no money for the second ferry on the Port Townsend-Keystone route. There's just the 60-car one right now," Kessler said.
She's also asked the governor's office for a list of which of the state's 81 fish hatcheries are being proposed for closure, Kessler said.
Van De Wege agreed the upcoming session is going to be a tough one but also described the governor's budget that includes $2.5 billion in program cuts plus elimination of pay increases as rosier than it should have been.
"I think that was a mistake. She made it rosier than it needs to be. She should have cut more and not counted on any federal money. I don't want to give people false hope," he said.
"She created no new revenue by stopping tax breaks. She could have found something. I wish she would have some more of that. We're not going to cut school funding so Wall Street can make more money," Van De Wege said.
"The public doesn't grasp how tough a situation the state is in. There's only $4 billion in cuts now but it could be a whole lot worse," he said.
He also wants to talk with Hargrove (chairman of the Senate Human Services and Corrections Committee) about some of the proposed cuts in health and human services because some social programs work better than others, Van De Wege said.
"People should be excited that initiatives 728 and 732 will be funded at all. Even higher education could have been worse. K-12 was a 5-percent cut, which is not that bad," Van De Wege said.

Authentic Vader Costume To Hit Auction Block
Want a movie-worn Darth Vader costume? Start digging through the couch cushions for spare change! Then rob a bank. Then rob a jewelry store. Then rob another bank.
An exceptionally rare Darth Vader costume comes up for sale next month and is expected to fetch as much as 230,000 pounds ($365,000), auctioneer Christie's said on Wednesday.
The main components of the 1980 costume, including the helmet and mask, are considered to have been production-made for "The Empire Strikes Back," the second of the "Star Wars" series to be released, Christie's added."While there are limited public records of the costumes produced and used for the first Star Wars trilogy, the helmet, mask and shoulder armor from the present example have a provenance leading back to the film studios around the time of production," Christie's said.
Pfft, they can't even prove it's authentic! You don't see me trying to sell the t-shirt off my back as a movie-worn 'Back To The Future II' costume do you? *posting shirt on eBay* Haha, well you didn't actually see me do it. Oh, and for the record: I'm not just nay-saying to keep the auction's price down so I can swoop in and buy it, because I'm not. Shit, I don't even have two nickels to rub together! Which is a shame because I am lost in the woods and I'm pretty sure that's how you start a fire.

Here's a story you'll relish: Oscar Mayer and Ball Park are in court to determine who has America's best-tasting weenie.
The judge opened the case in Chicago Monday by declaring "Let the wiener wars begin." You can catch up to the court action with this NPR article.
At issue is which Chicago company can claim to have the best dog.
Ball Park mustered a legal challenge after Oscar Mayer said "We are tastier" in a 2009 ad campaign.
Immediately, lawyers for the companies immediately began grilling the competition.
The Fooducate blog said neither tastes best. And wurst … err … worst of all, the processed meats are chock full of sulfites and sulfates. "Buying an identifiable piece of meat … is a preferred choice," Fooducate said.
A federal judge will determine which company can claim to be best, not a hungry jury.

ball park and oscar meyer aren't even the best dogs in chicago, much less nationally. in chicago, it's vienna beef. outside of chicago, it's nathan's, sabrett, or maybe a hebrew national (in a pinch).

Pause Point Spectra in DNA Constant-Force Unzipping Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 4, 1 April 2005, Pages 2752-2765 J.D. Weeks, J.B. Lucks, Y. Kafri, C. Danilowicz, D.R. Nelson and M. Prentiss Abstract Under constant applied force, the separation of double-stranded DNA into two single strands is known to proceed through a series of pauses and jumps. Given experimental traces of constant-force unzipping, we present a method whereby the locations of pause points can be extracted in the form of a pause point spectrum. A simple theoretical model of DNA constant-force unzipping is presented, which generates theoretical pause point spectra through Monte Carlo simulation of the unzipping process. The locations of peaks in the experimental and theoretical pause point spectra are found to be nearly coincident below 6000 basepairs for unzipping the bacteriophage λ-genome. The model only requires the sequence, temperature, and a set of empirical basepair binding and stacking energy parameters, and the good agreement with experiment suggests that pause point locations are primarily determined by the DNA sequence. The model is also used to predict pause point spectra for the bacteriophage ϕX174 genome. The algorithm for extracting the pause point spectrum might also be useful for studying related systems which exhibit pausing behavior such as molecular motors. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (369 kb) |
Nanopore Unzipping of Individual DNA Hairpin Molecules Biophysical Journal, Volume 87, Issue 5, 1 November 2004, Pages 3205-3212 Jérôme Mathé, Hasina Visram, Virgile Viasnoff, Yitzhak Rabin and Amit Meller Abstract We have used the nanometer scale α-Hemolysin pore to study the unzipping kinetics of individual DNA hairpins under constant force or constant loading rate. Using a dynamic voltage control method, the entry rate of polynucleotides into the pore and the voltage pattern applied to induce hairpin unzipping are independently set. Thus, hundreds of unzipping events can be tested in a short period of time (few minutes), independently of the unzipping voltage amplitude. Because our method does not entail the physical coupling of the molecules under test to a force transducer, very high throughput can be achieved. We used our method to study DNA unzipping kinetics at small forces, which have not been accessed before. We find that in this regime the static unzipping times decrease exponentially with voltage with a characteristic slope that is independent of the duplex region sequence, and that the intercept depends strongly on the duplex region energy. We also present the first nanopore dynamic force measurements (time varying force). Our results are in agreement with the ∼log(V˙) dependence at high V˙(where V˙ is the loading rate) observed by other methods. The extension of these measurements to lower loading rates reveals a much weaker dependence on V˙. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (175 kb) |
Probing Protein-DNA Interactions by Unzipping a Single DNA Double Helix Biophysical Journal, Volume 83, Issue 2, 1 August 2002, Pages 1098-1105 Steven J. Koch, Alla Shundrovsky, Benjamin C. Jantzen and Michelle D. Wang Abstract We present unzipping force analysis of protein association (UFAPA) as a novel and versatile method for detection of the position and dynamic nature of protein-DNA interactions. A single DNA double helix was unzipped in the presence of DNA-binding proteins using a feedback-enhanced optical trap. When the unzipping fork in a DNA reached a bound protein molecule we observed a dramatic increase in the tension in the DNA, followed by a sudden tension reduction. Analysis of the unzipping force throughout an unbinding "event" revealed information about the spatial location and dynamic nature of the protein-DNA complex. The capacity of UFAPA to spatially locate protein-DNA interactions is demonstrated by noncatalytic restriction mapping on a 4-kb DNA with three restriction enzymes (BsoBI, XhoI, and EcoRI). A restriction map for a given restriction enzyme was generated with an accuracy of ∼25 bp. UFAPA also allows direct determination of the site-specific equilibrium association constant (KA) for a DNA-binding protein. This capability is demonstrated by measuring the cation concentration dependence of KA for EcoRI binding. The measured values are in good agreement with previous measurements of KA over an intermediate range of cation concentration. These results demonstrate the potential utility of UFAPA for future studies of site-specific protein-DNA interactions. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (337 kb) |

Laboratoire Pierre Aigrain, Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France
DNA is partly denatured in vitro by applying a force that mechanically separates the two strands of the double helix. Sudden reduction of the imposed displacement triggers spontaneous reannealing of the molecule. The corresponding force signals are measured by optical trapping interferometry for backward steps of various amplitudes and base sequence intervals. The measured signals frequently show plateaus of varying duration at discrete values that are dependent on the base sequence. Additional measurements are performed with proteins bound to the double helix. When the opening fork encounters such a protein during mechanical unzipping, force increases until the protein is ejected. This ejection induces fast release of tension and fast unzipping. Comparing our different measurements, we find that both DNA unzipping and the relaxation of tension in DNA are faster than the formation of the double helix.

U should be able to click on the person u want to send it to and attach a file
Welcome to the forum!Originally Posted by sharmayks
It's pretty much the opposite of what you might do on a PC where you would go to your email program, draft a message and attach the file. On the iPad you start with the file which is associated with an app. The app controls what you can do with the file...email it, print it, edit it, etc. For instance, if you want to email a photo go to the Photos app and open the photo. Touch the icon that has an arrow popping out and pointing to the right. You will get a list of the actions you can take. Select "email photo" and the iPad will open an email with your photo already attached for you to edit and send.
If you want to send more than one attachment at a time you will need an app like Goodreader that has some file management capabilities.
Let us know if you need more info.

7 Fun Recipes Using CerealWe go beyond party mix to find the most surprisingly delicious dishes you can make with the breakfast standby.
By Lynn Andriani

The Crunchy, Cinnamon-y Pie CrustThe base of a cheesecake, pudding pie or ice-cream pie can be made from graham crackers, so swapping in the mini version, using Cinnamon Toast Crunch, for instance, isn't an enormous leap—yet it yields supercrispy (and cinnamon-flecked) results. Combine 2 cups of crushed cereal (you'll probably need to start with about 4 cups) with 3 tablespoons of melted, unsalted butter and press into a pie dish; chill, then proceed with your filling recipe.

I shoot AVCHD 1080p form a verity of different cameras - but 99% of all my final projects are for the Web or DVD - no big screen and no blue-ray. I want to shoot what I can in 1080p for future use or projects. My question is what is the best solution (free or nominal fee) for down-converting my footage to 720p for storage and editing?
Hmm... It is my impression that if I edit with actual 720p files, it will be less strain on the system both in editing and rendering as well has hard drive space? The hard drive is a given - I store the originals and only edit with copies - these copies being 720p would be roughly half that of the 1080p.
Can I ask a related question here? (maybe in the "dumb question department) ...
I'm also shooting with a brand new NX5U -- which lets me shoot 1080 and 720 simultaneously (one to chip, the other to a flash drive). My projects also end up on the web and non-blueray DVDs.
So is the quality going to be better if I work in 1080 timelines and then import the final into a 720 timeline? Or is it going to look the same if I work in 720 right from the start?
I haven't run any tests to judge rendering time, etc. I'm assuming higher rez means longer processing time. But maybe it's worth it for better quality.
Anyone have any advice about this?
Thanks in advance!
>worth it for better quality
In general, I will say always use the best quality possible for editing
I used to use a Sony 8mm analog camcorder, with a Pinnacle Dv500 card to digitize, finally going to a DVD... with "about" the same quality as a VHS
I now use a Canon Vixia AVCHD... still going to a DVD... the picture quality of the DVD is MUCH better than anything I created before, since I am starting with a higher bit depth and letting CS5 take care of the downsizing and downrezzing at the end of the process
It really depends on what you're doing to the footage, and what hardware it comes from. 1080>720 isn't an integer step so there will be pixel-blending on the resize, and with most prosumer kit having chroma subsampling you're not reading complete per-pixel data in the first place.
Even rendering to AVI I doubt anyone could look at an unedited 720p clip on a TV or Web video and tell if it came from a 720p capture or a scaled 1080p capture - in the former you'll have lens blur and chroma SS across pixels, in the latter you'll have fractional resampling giving near-enough the same feel, but if you apply effects that work on a per-pixel basis (such as unsharp masks or keying) to the footage before scaling they can look different. Not necessarily better or worse, just different; and your audience will only see one version so what you notice doesn't really matter!
It certainly makes sense to grab the biggest frames you can on location, as aside from any future use in full-HD projects you get the option to place it at larger than "fit" size, so you have leeway to crop stuff out or stabilise motion.
Prior to Mercury and solid-state drives, working in 1080 over 720 was a really noticeable drag - but now it's more about the codec than the frame size. A "tricky" codec at 480 can be more laggy to scrub than a "simple" codec at 1080, it depends on how much work your CPU has to do extracting the frame data before the MPE can scamper off with it.
I have a related but slightly different question. I will be videoing my grandson's high school football games with my Sony NX5U. Is there any advantage using 720p over 1080i for action events. Last year I did not experiment and try 720p, I used 1080i and produced primarily DVD's and an occasional BD-R
Canon Vixia HFS100 AVCHD MPEG4-AVC / H.264
Brilliant response David Merchant.
Can anyone offer advice on this related situation in Premiere Pro 5,5:
I have footage from a 3 camera shoot. One of the cameras was a locked off wide shot that I now prefer it be more zoomed in. I don't mind having the project in 720 - it's primary destination would be You Tube / Vimeo & DVD. All which would work well in 720 as far as I am concerned.
The footage was shot at 1080/24.
Could I simply edit the project in a 720 timeline, and scale up the camera track that I prefer more zoomed in? Does anyone know what the exact scale would be for 1080 to 720? For some reason, when I use the source file in a 720 Premiere sequence, the clips automatically scale to the sequence size. I'd want to scale it as best I could to retain a pixel to pixel relationship to avoid blur etc. But David, you say that it wont scale pixel to pixel with effects. The only effect I'd use on a scaled track would be color grading (with Red Giant Looks or Colorista II). What is the best way to do this - if there is one?
Can I at least assume this method will look better than scaling up the particular camera in a 1080 sequence?

3 Spoon Techniques for More Pike by Spence Petros
Getting out-fished by someone in your boat is a humbling experience, but when that someone is a 13-year old, a jaw can get awful tight. At least I wasn't alone, as his father was also experiencing the same luck as I was having...watching the youngster catch 3-4 pike to our one. I couldn't figure it out. We were fishing wide, flat, shallow bays that had scattered pike, and after a while, identical spoons were on all three rods. There was no first cast into an area that was best, or some edge the youngster was fishing we didn't know about. Yet something was going on under the surface that we hadn't figured out.
The Drop-Back
I began to do less fishing and more looking out of the corner of my eye, scrutinizing the boys every move. Like many young men his age, his attention span was not like adults, even though he was catching fish. He'd stop reeling to talk, to take a bite of sandwich or drink of soda, to readjust his clothes, or to watch an eagle soar past. Soon it became evident that when his retrieve was halted then restarted, most strikes would occur.
Now things began to make sense, but before deciding to clue his dad in on what was going on, I decided to give the "pause concept" a try. For the next 30-minutes I was consistently into pike, and after building up a safe lead over his dad (25-cents a pike can add up in good Canadian waters), the secret came out.
What we didn't realize was that a lot of pike were following our lures, and then turning off as they neared the boat. Through the years we found this to be a common occurrence with post-spawn pike that hadn't really started to feed yet. But this was the late 70's, and the day when we first realized this was occurring.
When ever the young man stopped reeling the spoon would flutter down, but more importantly, the tapered spoons would backup toward the pike. Most pike were lazily following in a straight retrieved spoon, and would spook to the side as the lure neared the boat. But when the retrieve was halted, (and as we further discovered) the rod tip dropped back towards the spoon, the lure would flutter backwards from 18-inches to 4-feet, right back into a following pikes face. And if there is a best way to trigger a following pike (or musky) cruising behind a lure into striking, the in their face approach is tops.
The distance a lure will flutter backwards is determined by the style of the spoon, depth of the water, and how the falling, flat spoon planes as it sinks. Try this next to the boat. Have 5-6 feet of line between the lure and rod tip. Move the spoon through the water parallel to the boat's side, then stop and drop the rod tip back towards the lure. This gives the lure some line so it can back up the maximum distance. Clear shallow water will give you the best view of how the drop-back works. The best drop-back spoons I've used are the size 6 Lindy Gator Spoon, Eppinger TrollDevle, and the 1-ounce standard Dardevle.
The Drop-Back technique is a great way to trigger following pike.
Summary: Whenever casting spoons for pike, especially if conditions are tough, try dropping the lure back several times on each retrieve. This is a good technique to practice whenever casting a spoon.
Jig-Trolling Spoons
The weed bed was immense, probably 12-15 acres. And it consisted of leafy, cabbage weeds, with much of the growth in the 9-12 foot depths, a condition that usually causes the pike to cruise in and out through the open water between the clumps looking for food. This sprawling mass of vegetation could take some time to fish, since there was no wall-like edge that would tend to concentrate numbers of pike, and so much of the weed bed looked like perfect pike habitat.
When normally confronted by a big weed bed with lots of potentially good-looking water, trolling usually allows me to quickly check it. I would commonly run buck tails, big spinner baits, or shallow-running jerk baits over the top, and deeper-diving jerk baits and crank baits along the edge. Fifteen minutes of trying some of those techniques quickly showed they were a waste of time. Here was the problem. Weed growth was very inconsistent, sometimes it came to the surface, other times it was 3-4 feet below. Lures that ran at a specific, near-surface depth level would constantly foul up in the erratic growth.
My next option would be to run a spinner bait or buzz-bait across the surface. But what tossed this plan for a loop was that hundreds of dark, shadowy weed pockets existed throughout the vegetation. And due to the bright sky conditions, light winds and fairly clear water, you could sense the pike were holding in those weedy lairs. But there had to be a way of rooting them out, and I didn't intend on wasting hours of time casting to all those potential fish-holding areas. I had to figure out a fast way of working those weeds.
If the weed bed was smaller, I would have probably jig fished it with plastic-bodied lizards, reapers, big double twister tails, Sassy Shads, or other types of soft-bodied "creatures." At least these presentations would penetrate down into the weeds, and the single hook on the jig would allow me to snap and rip through any clinging vegetation.
Finally I had an idea, why not try a Johnson Silver Minnow, but instead of casting with it troll with varying speeds in a lazy S pattern. This prevented the lure from following the boat's path. When turning toward the lure it would sink into the weeds, but as the boat swung the other way the lure would be on the outside of the turn, going faster and swimming out of the weeds. The method worked like a charm, as the spoon was actually being jigged down into the weeds, then pulled out, while the boat was constantly moving over new waters in the search for pike.
Since this experience occurred 6 or 7 years ago, I've had excellent success with this technique, rooting many pike out of weedy cover that would not come up for a high-running, more horizontal presentation. But there are certain things that must be done for maximum success.
The plated hook on a Silver Minnow is dull and must be sharpened along the sides and tip with a fine grain file. South Bend makes a great one. Adjust the weed guard so it lines up with the hooks tip and extends out a little past it. If the hook point and weed guard aren't in a straight line, you'll grab a lot more weeds. Don't adjust the wire weed guard too far out from the point or it will be too hard to set. Adjust the setting according to the density of the vegetation.
Trolling silver minnows gives you a great way to cover massive weed beds and to get down into the vegetation.
My first attempts at setting the hook, while making turns with stretchy, mono wrapped around weed clumps, were disastrous. Most hook-ups on larger fish occurred after quickly gunning the motor to pick up line as the hook was being set. As the technique evolved, here's what I found to work best. Use no-stretch super line such as Berkley Whiplash or Fire Line. Don't use a shorter rod or one that doesn't have backbone. A musky "buck tail rod" that's at least 6 feet 9 inches, or a sturdy flippin' stick are recommended for maximum hook-setting power. Longer rods give you a long, sweeping hook-set that picks up slack line, they also keep the lure a little farther from the boat, plus they aid in controlling and playing pike.
Dress the Silver Minnow with pork or plastic. A dressing's length and bulk will alter how fast or slow the spoon will wiggle or sink. Be careful not to use a soft plastic dressing that slides up on the hooks shank every time a sharp forward rip is executed to clear weeds. Gluing some plastics to several spoons with a "Krazy" glue can solve this problem. The standard silver-colored "Silver Minnow" is a must, but gold, perch and fire tiger can also be hot, especially when the water has some color, or darker skies exist.
Summary: When faced with lots of weeds, trolling can help to quickly find the pike. But be careful not to go too fast in a straight line. A soft zigzag pattern allows the lures to constantly sink down and be pulled out of the weed clumps. It's this "jigging action" that roots out the big ones!
Flutter Spoons
When game fish are aggressive, fishing fast and horizontal is often the best way to cover water and catch the maximum amount of fish. But as the action starts to decrease, slower speeds and lures that fall, flutter or pause usually become more productive. A slower falling lure may also be more effective on suspended fish, or those holding tight to cover, as it gives them a little more time to zero in on the presentation.
Wafer-thin "flutter spoons" like those used for trolling salmon and trout are slow falling with a lot of flash that trigger non-aggressive pike.
Anyone with basic pike fishing experience knows that spoons are tops for these toothy predators, and we've already discussed two deadly tactics. But the ultimate "tease" technique, the tactic that temps even the most tight-jawed pike into hitting a spoon, is the one that gives us the slowest, falling, most tantalizing action. This involves casting with super-light weight flutter spoons; those wafer thin spoons that are usually trolled in deeper water for trout or salmon while using weights or planer devices to get them down.
Before going out and trying to cast these spoons on bait casting gear spooled with heavy line, three words of advice-don't try it! They are best fished with long-handle spinning rods that are at least 6 1/2 to 7 feet long, and a reel full of soft 10-14 lb. test mono such as Trilene XL, or better still 14-20 lb. test Fire Line. Two handed "snap casts" are recommended, where a right-handed caster pulls the butt section of the rod sharply towards his body with the left hand, while the right hand fires out the cast. This tactic increases rod speed to give extra casting distance. Look at a South Bend System 9 IM6 graphite spinning rod I designed (P-246) to get an idea of the type rod to use. A ball-bearing, wide-spool spinning reel with a tapered spool works best.
Flutter spoons have a lot of flash and movement with a minimal amount of forward or drop speed. You can slow the frantic fluttering action down a bit by adding a plastic or pork trailer, but I rarely do.
These spoons won't let you cover a lot of territory, but they are deadly under certain situations. One of them is when sight fishing for pike. Although this may sound easy it's not. In stained waters only slight shadows or dark spots on the bottom may be noted. In clear water the fish can more easily be seen, but a cast made too close will usually send them bolting away. Always cast at least 10-15 feet past the pike, and not directly over it. If the fish is moving, cast well in front. Even if you lead the pike too far, let the spoon sit on the bottom until the fish is within 5-8 feet. The lift up and allow the spoon to flutter downward. Sometimes the pike may just watch the lure sink, and nose up to within inches of the lure. Short little jiggles or soft "pops" will usually provoke a strike.
A flutter spoon can also be rigged on a follow-up rod. When a pike follows in a faster-moving, more horizontal presentation then turns off, a flutter spoon can be blind cast in the direction the fish headed. Let it sink 5-6 seconds pull it upward, then repeat. This slow-falling, crippled action is often different enough to trigger a response. Flutter spoons also work well when allowed to sink into larger holes in a weed bed or into the shaded areas between higher clumps. Let the light lure slowly flutter down into the pocket a few feet, or down between the clumps, then left the rod to pull it back out. These thin spoons sink much slower than a conventional spoon, and have a wilder, flashing action. This attracts pike and gives them plenty of time to react to the slow falling lure.
When fishing flutter spoons around weeds, use one with a large single hook, and put the hook on so the point faces the inside or cupped side of the spoon. This rigging will give you the minimum amount of weed snags and make releasing pike easy. With a little practice this single hook spoon can be cast over thick vegetation and skittered across the top, periodically stopping the retrieve so the lure flutters down into holes or along edges. The trick to avoid hanging weeds is to halt the lures flight just before it hits the water by engaging the reel and lifting the rod tip. Wire leaders should be used with all the spoon techniques discussed. Always use a quality ball-bearing snap-swivel to the lure. A size 4 Berkley Cross-Loc snap swivel is ideal. When casting a spoon, either with the drop-back technique or with a flutter spoon, a 12-inch leader is perfect. When trolling with the Silver Minnow, where a lot of pulling and ripping of weeds is going on, a 3-foot leader is better as it will slice through the vegetation and won't weaken. Put these 3 techniques in your pike-fishing bag of tricks and watch your catches soar!
wow ! 'pause for the cause' works well for trout and bass too! don't over look a stop and go presitaion....
turnip , great obsevation on the kids fishing.....DANG woppersnapers, lol
'the pause for the cause' or 'stop and go' is one of three retrieves i use alot of! fast and slow are the other 2 most used...
did you ever try Back Trolling? it might give you that pause on the lure you want? as the water breaks around the boat it slips, causing it to speeds up and slows down, with water doing the work for you instead of turning(zigzaging) or speeding/slowing the motor.... i think all you need is a splash gaurd, sounds like you got everything else, like no strech line....
awsome report!
great post Pete!
Wow, Great Read.
I will be putting this to the test come spring. :)
Thanks for the Great Info.
Great post Turnip,
I have had some success with the fluttering pause technique on Trout this fall and winter.
Thanks for the kind words. But I must be honest and tell ya I copied & pasted this info. I think originally Erabbit sent it to me!
I am currently awaiting delivery on some Sutton Flutter Spoons that I hope to use for lake trout or perhaps salmon...
Well, I can do an attachment but still can't figure out how to put a pic in the body of my post...I have spent the last 45 min. trying to figure this out....And folks wonder why I post mostly on another site!
When I'm fishin' for walleye and pike up in Canada, I use a blue/silver Acme Little Cleo tipped with a 2" plastic twister tail on a wire leader. Here's the outcome, every cast into the bulrushes brings in an angry pike.
Thanks guys,
I will be sure to call them. When I joined the NAHC, they offered hats and I bought a couple, but I didn't get offered hats in the NAFC when I joined. The fleece sounds good too. I have alot of patches to put on as well. Good Idea Turnip!
More hats, my Wife will be thrilled! NOT!!!!
That's just ONE of those "adjustments" that grownups have to make during life (BIG GRIN)

Whether you wrote them yourself or cut-n-pasted them, those are some great tips, Turnip. My favorite spoon for chasing pike... actually my favorite spoon of all time... is the dependable, venerable Red Eye spoon. It was formerly made by Hofschneider, but is now made by Eppinger, the same guys that make the Daredevle you were using (check out Eppinger's website, they're there). Not only do all of your spooning tips apply to the Red Eye spoon, but I also accidentally discovered something else while fishing for steelhead at the Waukegan IL Harbor: the things SWIM BACKWARDS! If you use a horizontal pull-back after the cast, then move the rod forward, the Red Eye will actually swim backward, right into the pursuing fish's face! This technique is responsible for my netting countless bucketmouth bass, salmon, trout & pike... even a musky or two. I've had most of my fortune with the 3/16 & 1/2 oz. sizes, but I've caught a few on the 1 oz. as well. The nickel-plated is the best, the brass plated #2, but I've caught a couple of steelies on the yellow/red 1 oz. "5-of-diamonds" Red Eye, too. I even bought a nickel-plated "musky" Red Eye that's about the size of a 1975 Cadillac hubcap, but, sadly, have never caught a thing on it. Keep the line fresh, the hooks sharp, & keep spooning. God bless all. -Sonny, Life Member since 2002
It's funny how these spoons will work. Most receintly I was on a pike hunt at Lake Champlain and started out using this spoon :
This is a one ounce Eppinger and the first fish to hit it was a LMB, then a pickerel. Pike never looked at it!
Good read Pete.
The timing might not have been right on Lake champlain. The water being so high confused me. Not knowing the lake and how to react to the conditions didn't help. We will have to experiment some more until we get it right. lol

Pandas Are The Most Magical Creatures Ever
Their blood is medicine, their poop is made into tea, AND they're adorable. posted on
2. It's a magical creature that roams the forests of China.
It's just the right combination of majestic and adorbs.
3. Pandas are like casually committed vegans.
They're genetically carnivores and eat some meat, but 99% of their diet is bamboo.
4. Their unique coloring is used for mating purposes.
Since pandas have bad eyesight, some scientists believe pandas need their black and white fur to spot each other in bamboo forests to meet and mate.
7. According to a recent study, panda blood might be the key to treating drug-resistant superbugs in humans.
8. Hear that? SUCK IT, UNICORNS.
Ain't nobody got time for your silvery cursed blood.
9. Pandas are so magical, tea is made out of their poop.
A green-tea-and-panda excrement brew sells for about $200 a cup. The Chicago Tribune called the tea "fragrant and smooth." Sign me up just kidding don't.
10. Unfortunately, they're as rare as they are magical.
11. Pandas are an endangered species.
There are less than 1,600 pandas in the wild threatened by hunting and habitat loss. And there are less than 300 pandas in zoos all over the world.
12. Their low birthrate makes increasing their population difficult.
I mean, fair enough.

Staff report
The wages of young college graduates have fared poorly during the Great Recession and its aftermath, according to a report released Wednesday by the Economic Policy Institute.
In 2011, young college graduates had an average hourly wage of $16.81 per hour, which translates into an annual income of roughly $35,000 for a full-time, full-year worker. Average hourly wages for young female graduates remain substantially less (13.9 percent) than those of young male graduates, EPI said.
Between 2007 and 2011, the wages of young college graduates dropped 4.6 percent (5.1 percent for men and 4.1 percent for women). But wage growth of young graduates was weak even before the Great Recession began; they have fared poorly over the entire period of general wage stagnation that began during the business cycle of 2000–2007, EPI said.
Between 2000 and 2011, the wages of young college graduates dropped 5.4 percent — 1.6 percent for men and 8.5 percent for women, the private, non-profit think tank said.

I have heard to just stick with the prenatal, which I probably will for a little while, but it seems to me that a pregnant woman has different needs than a BFing mom. My prenatal has lots of iron, which I dont think I will need that much while BFing. I also believe that vitamin D and calcium are important while BFing, and my prenatal doesnt have much calcium. What other vitamins are important? Is there a supp especially for lactating women? I prefer whole foods based supps.

Setup is easy (plugs into a headphone jack, so it's very easy to move them to a different device. also includes a 1/4" adapter for large-diameter jacks). If the device doesn't have a headphone jack, there is also an adapter cable to plug it into 2-channel stereo Audio Out jacks. Good bass, and very little static - generally, only has static in certain "dead" zones. Generally, moving your head slightly will clear it up. Otherwise, they sound like wired headphones. The three faults I've found are all power-related: 1) There's SOMETHING special about the AAA included rechargeable batteries, because they last much longer than other AAA rechargeables I tried. Even though the batteries say that they're just 1.2v NiMH and look very generic, they have a much longer run-time than two other sets of fairly new, fully-charged 1.2v NiMH batteries I tried (like 3 hours for the included batteries vs. 30 minutes for my batteries - quite a difference). I only tried 2 brands - maybe another brand would work better than mine. 2) When the batteries run low, there is no visible indicator - It just suddenly looses the signal. It then hisses like an FM radio set to a clear place on the dial. The power indicator still lights when you turn the headphones on, but they just won't receive a signal. The only hint as to the cause is that the auto-scan led doesn't flash when you turn the headphones on (normally it flashes once very briefly). 3) The headphones don't fit on the charger very well - You usually have to fiddle with them, because unless you get them in exactly the right position, the red "Charging" LED won't come on. There's also a plastic cap on the base's connector which you have to remove so it will make contact. All in all though, I'm satisfied. They sound good and they work, once you get past those three problems.
These headphones are the greatest. First I purchased one for myself and hooked it up quite easily to our TV. The sound can be completely off and with the headphones on, you can turn the phones up as loud as you want to and not disturb anyone else. They can watch their TV in another area with their sound up. I can walk all over the house and hear the program with them. The cost is most reasonable. I have now purchased five as gifts to my grown children, and of course , when my husband realized how great they are, we purchased one for him.
Firstly, the wireless ability is great. I can walk to the other side of my house and still maintain a signal. That being said, the fact that it's broadcast over an RF signal produces some undesirable effects. Most noteworthy is the CONSTANT "fuzz" associated with RF signals. There is always this faint fuzz, or hissing in the background, and if you turn the headphone volume up too high, it gets louder and begins to drown out the sounds you're trying to hear. On the flip side, if you turn the headphones down to accommodate, the volume of everything drops significantly. Now you're in a situation where you have to turn your source volume (TV, stereo, etc) up very high to offset the balance...and it really only offsets it so much. Another point to touch is interference and static. It is an incredibly sensitive piece of equipment. If you turn your head too far to the left or right, you can get interference which is that lovely static noise that one hears when you are in your car with the radio on and you go under a tunnel. Sometimes it's real bad, sometimes it's not so bad... If you're looking for a pair of cheap, wireless headphones, these are definitely the ones. However if you're looking for a great buy and a great set of wireless headphones... these aren't really for you. I had to learn that lesson. But for all the bad I've talked, the fact that they're wireless really is a great little feature, even though it's got some detrimental side-effects. The docking base also has a "Call" button, and it works amazingly well. My roommate often comes home with something to say and if I don't hear him, he just hits the call button and speaks. The volume of the source material drops significantly, and his voice booms out above it very clearly. It certainly works, and very well I might add. Battery life on these headphones is roughly 30 hours, which isn't bad, and recharging takes a good long while. almost the same amount of time. I recommend having a set of backup headphones at the ready for this...I do. So I give this item a 3/5 because it's just about average. Not amazing, but not garbage either. I'd recommend it for anyone looking to spend thrifty. Just know that you aren't getting anything particularly amazing.
I bought these for my husband for his birthday at the beginning of December. He uses them almost nightly, and doesn't have a complaint. They work well, clear reception, and I can sleep at night!
I used to keep my husband awake watching television after he went to sleep. Now I can use my headphones and not bother him. They sit on a dresser under the wall-mounted television. There is a barely perceptible"click" at times that does not bother me. The ear cups are very comfortable, and I can watch for hours into the night and he doesn't even know it.
I gave this an excellent for the great sound that it produces.
The headset has worked great in my household. I have left them on my head and realized they were working clear as a bell downstairs when I retrieved something to drink. What clarity they have! Tune them in and your all set. I've even laid down with them and they don't turn off like others have. All the controls are on the side of the ear piece and don't get in the way of laying on side. What a great deal!
great product and great service. Arrived on time and has been a joy to use.
These headphones were bought for my 85 year old dad who lives 75 miles from me. I took them to him and set it up according to the instructions given, which said to let the headphones charge for at least 30 hours before using, and we did. When I went back for a visit two weeks later, they had not charged. I double checked to see if they had been moved or bumped, but were sitting on the charger correctly.
