Grander Hunting
Shop for Marlin Tackle
by Jim Chambers and Capt. Joseph Franck (www.bigmarinefish.com) Where Should You Go for the Best Shot at a 1000-Pound Plus Atlantic Blue Marlin? A Grand Release: Would you release the world record Atlantic blue marlin? Pictured here is an estimated 1,400 pound Atlantic blue marlin caught but released by Captain Joseph Franck for angler Peter Ganz, knowing it was well beyond the 80-pound line class world record (currently 1,189 pounds).
Because of its size, speed and spectacular jumps, many big game fishermen consider blue marlin the top prize in the saltwater angling world. So, where can you go to do battle with a very large blue - one weighing over 1,000 pounds? For the last three years, the large ones seem to have all but disappeared. Traditional, Atlantic marlin "hot spots" keep reporting fishing as "really slow." And there is, after all, good scientific evidence that international commercial fishing fleets targeting swordfish and tunas have in the process reduced both Atlantic-wide white and blue marlin populations to dangerously low levels. (See Chambers' article "Going, Going, Gone" in the Jan/Feb 2001 issue of The Journal and www.Chambers-Associates.org for details. - Ed.) But, worldwide climate shifts, particularly El Nino and La Nina, have also played a big role in determining where marlin are found. With the 1997-1998 warming of the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans, referred to as El Nino, followed by two successive years of colder than normal water, called La Nina, oceanic water temperature patterns were drastically changed, worldwide. In 1997 and 1998, large areas of the North Atlantic Ocean were also much warmer than normal. La Nina resulted in broad expanses of colder than normal ocean waters in the Atlantic (and elsewhere) for the past two years. As we all know, fish are very sensitive to even small changes in temperature, and will move great distances to maintain their preferred temperature zones. The large areas of warmer water followed by substantial periods of colder water have re-distributed both predators and prey (such as concentrations of smaller tunas, mackerel, squid and a large number of other species) on which billfish and the other large pelagics depend. As a result, hook-ups declined dramatically at the usual fishing destinations beginning in 1997 and continuing through most of 2000. The good news from the scientific community is that La Nina officially ended in late 2000. The world's oceanic temperature patterns thus appear to be returning to "normal." Therefore, we should expect to find the great ocean predators at their usual haunts. Moreover, we should also expect several years of stability in ocean temperature patterns and "normal" fish distribution since El Nino seems to return on roughly a seven-year cycle, meaning the next might not begin until 2004. So, Where Should You Go for a Grander? The quick answer is, "Where there is a history of catches of very large blues." The Azores provide the one place in the entire Atlantic Ocean where serious anglers and crews have a good possibility of hooking the very largest blue marlin - fish weighing at least 700 pounds and as much or more than the current IGFA all tackle world record of 1,402 pounds (caught off Vitoria, Brazil, in 1992) - as well as grander bluefin tuna. The best-known billfish destinations in the Caribbean region (such as the North Drop off the Virgin Islands and the extension of this wall off Puerto Rico, or the famed La Guaira Bank off Caracas, Venezuela) can't compare to the Azores in terms of the size of fish encountered. For example, the first grander ever landed in Puerto Rico was taken just this year. Large blue marlin are also caught occasionally in the Bahamas, the northern Gulf of Mexico, and along the East Coast of the United States, particularly off Cape Hatteras. On the eastern side of the North Atlantic, catches of very large blues have been made off Madeira, the Cape Verdes and, as we will show below, the Azores. Additional prime blue marlin fishing destinations now include Brazil and most recently, Ghana. What Brings Them There? It's the currents, particularly their edges, which these fish are following. Unfortunately, so are the swordfish and tunas, which commercial fishing fleets are targeting. In general, the adults spawn in the tropics in the spring, and move north as the ocean warms in the late summer and fall until winter drives them south again. They follow the Caribbean Current through the Caribbean Sea into the Gulf of Mexico. It circles the Gulf (clockwise) as the Loop Current and exits between Cuba and Florida as the Gulf Stream. It is immediately joined by the Antilles Current, which passes north of the Caribbean island chain and over the Puerto Rico Trench (one of the deepest points in the Atlantic ocean). The large pelagics follow the Gulf Stream as it flows northeast from Florida, along the edge of the U.S. continental shelf (including Georges Bank) then east to the Grand Banks, Flemish Cap and beyond (site of the movie The Perfect Storm) toward Europe. The Gulf Stream splits. One branch continues on to the north giving welcome warmth to the British Isles and Iceland. The other bends toward the south where it immediately passes through the Azores. As it flows east and south along Portugal and Spain toward North Africa, it loses heat (and is now called the Canary Current) as it bathes Madeira and the Canary Islands. Off the northwest coast of Africa it veers back to the west passing the Cape Verdes Islands and picking up the tropical heat as it returns to the Caribbean region as the North Equatorial Current, thus totally circling the Sargasso Sea. These currents are caused by surface winds, heated by the Sun, and the Earth's rotation. Average Surface Currents of the North Atlantic: Pictured here. The Azores are positioned directly in the path of the Gulf Stream, which acts as a conveyor belt, bringing warm water, marlin, tuna and their prey. Apparently, the billfishes' prey (fishes and squid) is concentrated along the current edges, particularly where large eddies break off and move against the edge of a continental shelf or island. Longliners know to set their baited lines along the exact edge of these water masses where the temperature can change several degrees within a few feet. Satellite imagery can be used to locate this prime site for big fish; the leading edge of these large eddies, especially if they are moving against the continental slope (generally between the 100- and 1,000-fathom depth contours). Spawning Sites Critical habitat for Atlantic billfish (blue marlin, white marlin, sailfish and swordfish) includes not only the edges of the major currents, but also these fishes' spawning sites, which are surprisingly small and specific. We know some of their locations because this is where longline vessels catch the greatest number of billfish during the late spring and early summer when the adults are spawning. The most important sites in the North Atlantic include the large passes between the Caribbean islands of the Greater and Lesser Antilles, and particularly two large areas well out into the Atlantic (along major currents) east of the Virgin Islands and another east of Barbados. (See www.BigMarineFish.com for maps of the spawning, nursery and feeding areas of swordfish, white marlin and sailfish.) Commercial fishing should be prohibited by international agreement to protect all important spawning sites. This will require the big game fishing community to pressure the political leadership, particularly in the United States, to aggressively seek such agreements by the responsible body, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and its 31 member nations. However, first we must protect the critical habitats located in U.S.-controlled waters. Nursery Areas Nursery areas are waters located "downstream" from the spawning sites. Larval billfish spawned in the two largest spawning sites, those located east of the Caribbean chain of islands, are carried by the prevailing currents in two directions: into the Caribbean along the coast of Venezuela and northwest as the Antilles Current toward the Bahamas and Florida. Consequently, the shelf off Venezuela provides year-round nursery habitat for young marlin spawned in the Atlantic well east of the Lesser Antilles. So too, the northern Caribbean Sea is a year-round nursery area for those fish spawned in the largest passages between the Caribbean islands such as Cuba, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. The northern and eastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico and lower East Coast of the United States (along the edge of these currents) provide nursery grounds for fish spawned in the Caribbean (particularly the Yucatan Straits between Cuba and Mexico), off the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico and off the Florida Keys and southeast Florida. Feeding Grounds Young billfish appear to remain in the tropics year-round for several years or until they grow large enough to tolerate colder water temperatures where prey is (or was) more abundant. (As a general ecological principle, the tropics support greater numbers of species but fewer individuals of each, whereas northern waters, which are colder, but more productive, support many more individuals, but fewer species.) That's what draws the very largest adults to their most northerly fall feeding grounds off New England and Nova Scotia for giant bluefin tuna (which spawn in the Gulf of Mexico), the edge of the continental shelf from Cape Hatteras to Georges Bank for white and blue marlin, the Grand Banks and beyond for swordfish, and the Azores for all four species. Thinking Like Big Fish So, now we see why traditional big game fishing destinations have developed their reputations. And the basis for their different "seasons." The Caribbean region and gaps between the various islands should be most productive for adults from late spring through early summer. After spawning, they move north along the edge of the continental shelf for better feeding opportunities typical of colder waters. For the remainder of the year, the Caribbean is the home of the juveniles. Some adult billfish move from the Caribbean to the northern Gulf of Mexico for their fall feeding period. A larger group of white and blue marlin follows the Gulf Stream. They can be found during late summer and fall from Cape Hatteras to the eastern tip of Georges Bank. As we will show below, a number of very large blue marlin, and in unusual years very large bluefin tuna, are found in the Azores during the fall. Sailfish range the least, staying closer to their prime spawning site in the Straits of Florida, while swordfish appear to range the farthest. They are all finally driven from their prime feeding areas at the northern end of their ranges by the onset of winter (by November). Based on tag results, many return to the tropics along the same route they just followed (i.e., along the edge of the continental shelf and the edges of the major surface currents) probably following the availability of prey. But others, perhaps the largest individuals, may follow the North Atlantic current system to entirely circle the Sargasso Sea. All arrive in the tropics at the right time to join the others for spawning - just like salmon returning after thousands of miles to the very stream where they began life. We may never understand how any of these fish can accomplish such an astounding navigational feat. Big Fish Conveyor Belt The nine volcanic islands of the Azores are pinnacles rising steeply from the deep ocean floor along the shoulder of the mid-Atlantic Ridge. This is the split down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean where the continental plates have been drifting apart for eons. Fortunately, the Azores are positioned right in the path of the Gulf Stream. And it acts as a huge "conveyor belt," bringing warm tropical weather and especially marlin, tuna and their prey directly to the Azores. The big fish are there from July until late October when winter drives them south. Oceanic currents produce upwellings of nutrient-rich bottom waters as they move against these islands and their submerged "banks." The upwellings fuel an explosion of life, which attracts the large pelagic predators, especially very large blue marlin. These currents ebb and flow with the seasons, turning up and lowering the various regions' abundance of life. Azores' History of Huge Game Fish It is a fact that over the years fishing crews have spotted gigantic marlin on which nobody dares to estimate a weight. They've been baptized "Red October," as the size is unimaginable. They make mates and captains silent when observed. Not every fishing day results in spectacular catches, but records of the last five years show an average catch of 1.1 marlin per day per boat. Days that produce up to 15 bites are not exceptional when fishing the Azores, Condor or Sao Matteus Bank. Exceptional fishing days, with five to eight blues tagged and released on one boat, have been documented. But it would not be a surprise if those reading this now start raising their eyebrows in total disbelief. As pictured in Greet Wouters' new book, "Close to the Surface: A Pictorial History of 50 Years of Big Game Fishing in the Azores," these islands have produced 22 world record catches composed of many different species including six of the 10 existing men's blue marlin world records. Also pictured are six anglers who fought their way into the "grander" club between 1988 and 2000. During the '96 and '97 seasons, in addition to yellowfin and bigeye tuna, the waters around Faial were often invaded by giant bluefin tuna. The waters boiled with aggression, and it looked like most of the fish came out of a single mould as they all weighed between 800 and 1,000 pounds plus. The feeding frenzy was such that some of the hooked tunas went back into the school and kept feeding. Of course, the lines often broke. The bluefin were really supreme in size, strength and speed and a "reel" challenge for the angler. The reason they were massively present in the archipelago of the Azores for two consecutive years may also be a result of the El Nino and La Nina conditions.

Bernard in 1997 on Shanghai 1200 pounds on 80-pound by J. Gill in 1997 on Shanghai So, for the best shot at hooking a really large Atlantic blue marlin - and a very decent chance at one weighing well over 1,000 pounds - you might just want to make your way to the Azores. The presence of an occasional "Red October" makes the Azores the top destination for seriously large blue marlin. And if that weren't enough, you might also hook a grander-sized bluefin tuna in the same area. No other place on Earth offers such a good possibility. Of course, the numerous white marlin, bigeye and yellowfin tuna on light tackle would provide great sport especially for the novice angler, and there's at least a few spearfish, swordfish and mako sharks prowling the same waters. Gearing Up For Granders Essential Elements on the Bridge A good-quality depth sounder with water temperature gauge of at least 1KW GPS is a must. As for plotters, the best are the computer-driven plotters with electronic charts for memory and high speed input. These are ideal to plot drop-offs, banks, bait, bites, etc. - a device adequate to recreate the history of any fishing day or even the season. Digitized charts become vaults of information enabling the boat's captain to optimize the day's output. Data collection helps crew and anglers to track more accurately the foraging routes of the predators. On Shanghai and Double Header it is Compaq's hardware combined with Maptech's software that gives the fishing day that extra edge. Tackle Rods: Custom 130-pound class rods with Aftco bent butts and non-slip wrap just behind the reel seat; AFTCO Big Foot or Fin-Nor roller guides; rod tip roller is always Aftco. Reels: Shimano or Penn 130 two-speed with T-bar handles (Area Rule) for less angler fatigue Bucket Harness: Definitely beefed-up (Sadler's broke after a three-hour fight with a 1,400 pounder) Line: High-vis line good for running down fish, especially if the light conditions are bad. Capt. Joseph uses 150 yards topshot and 800 yards high-vis Dacron backing. Leader: 25-foot, smoke-color, soft leader 2.86-mm diameter. This thicker, soft leader is preferred because lures swim better and the extra diameter takes longer to chafe through. Hooks: Double hook-set of 12/0 #7731 OD Mustad hooks, built with 900-pound test aircraft-grade stainless steel cable, shrink-sleeved and set at about 110 degree offset. All thimbles are stainless steel of appropriate size. Snap Swivels: A minimum of 300-pound test Aftco ball bearing tournament swivels. The knot used for the double line is the Australian braid and flossed with waxed rigging twine; double line to snap swivel is a Uni Knot. Lure Preferences: Black Bart, Marlin Magic, Moldcraft, Malolo, Steve Coggin Lures and Sadu pulled from outriggers on tag lines. Release mechanisms are Black's release clips set at two pounds higher than the force exerted by the lure on the line. Tag line return slides are used on all tag lines. Weight and action of lures vary with sea conditions and the color varies with the light conditions and the available bait. Favorite Lures for Granders - Pictured from the top, Moldcraft's Super Chugger blue over yellow (the "Swedish Flag") used by Jacky Delbrell to catch his 1189 lb. world record blue marlin (80-lb. line class); custom-built Hawaiian lure which has caught many big fish (called the "Stranger" as we really do not know how it ended up in the drawers); Marlin Magic's large pear (called Fuelman" since it started out as the "Mexican Petroleiro") was used to catch David Lauzen's estimated 1100 blue on 80-lb. stand-up and last year to catch the1400 lb. blue of John Sadler; Moldcraft's wide range black over green ("Mean Jo Green") caught the 974 lb. blue marlin fought on 50-lb. tackle by Sadler and the 1002 lb. bluefin tuna by Delbrel; Murray Brothers' blue over black ("Untouchable" - do not touch him, leave him alone, in whatever condition, he catches fish) caught the 1001 lb. blue marlin fought on 80-lb. stand-up by Lauzen in 2000; and Marlin Magic's medium pear ("Squid") which has caught loads of big fish. Pattern: Lures are pulled on wave 2, 3, 4 and 5. If the fish are biting the closer lures, bring them in one wave closer, and vice versa. Weather, Moon Phase and Season Weather depends on the position of the well-known Azores' high-pressure system. In a season, very few days are lost to bad weather conditions as there is always a productive lee in which to fish. There is no marked difference between a dark and full moon bite. More important is the tide, as it seems that the bite is better on the slack tide with the slack after the high tide giving slightly better results. Season starts at the beginning of July although we have had bites in April. We traditionally stop mid-October. In fact the most productive fishing days occurred in October but the latest recorded bite in the Azores was almost a Christmas bite on board Double Header with Capt. Don Merten. The first bites of the season occur when the water reaches 69 degrees Fahrenheit. At the end of the season, even though the temperatures are lower, the marlin seem to be hanging around, and we have caught them at 64.5 degrees.

It's eleven in the morning at the time of this writing and I should be on a plane headed toward New York to attend the Woodstock Fruit Festival. Instead, I'm in bed writing this email to you.
Why? Because the universe hates me.
Okay, not really.
It's because I hurt my back Sunday night. I was working on a puzzle—yes, I know I'm a dweeb—when I bent over the table and, uh oh!
It felt like my lower back was tearing in two!
You may remember that I had some lower back trouble earlier this year, but this was different. This was much more painful. So much so that I couldn't stand up at all!
Luckily, the pain subsided and I was able to get up and walk again thirty minutes later. This was a huge relief, but then I thought, why now? Why when everything else that day had been going my way?
The weather had cooled down to a comfortably warm 90 degrees with a slight breeze. I had just played tennis after almost two weeks off, feeling and playing better than ever. My weight training sessions had been going phenomenally well, with gains made almost every workout for the past 9 weeks.
And of course, I was all psyched and ready to learn new things, meet new people, and fill up on tasty fresh produce at the fruit festival. All of this with no back pain to speak of!
Then I realized something.
All this whining wasn't helping me one bit. No amount of tears or curse words were going to make my pain go away and they sure as heck weren't going to help me figure out what caused the injury in the first place.
What would make the pain go away? Rest and lots of it. That means no tennis, no lifting weights, and no flying to fruit festivals.
So that's what I've been doing these past few days.
Okay, so I have cheated a bit. I did go out for a couple of hours Tuesday night. And guess what? I paid the price. My back ached all through the night and was even worse the next morning.
So it's back to rest, rest, and more rest. And it's paying off. The pain is significantly better than it was two days ago. I can actually bend forward a few inches without any pain!
But enough about me…
What about you?
We all know that disappointment is just a part of life. Things can't go our way all the time and we have to be able to roll with the punches.
What disappointments have you experienced lately that have affected your health and fitness goals? What have you done to get back on track, make your situation better, or even just improve your mental outlook?
Leave your comments below!
Go raw and be fit,
P.S. Wondering what caused my lower back injury? I'm pretty sure I have the answer to that and it's actually pretty simple. In fact, it's a nasty habit that almost every one of us engages in multiple times a day.
More on that in a future article…
P.P.S. Having trouble getting back on track with your raw food diet for lack of healthy raw food recipes that actually taste good? Be sure to check out my raw recipe e-book…

New Clues to the Mystery of the World's Most Famouse Painting By Soya Mousehao
NEW MOUSE CITYFive centuries ago, the artist Mousardo da Munchie painted his mousterpiece, the portrait of a lovely young mouse named Mona Mousa. Her mysterious smile has amazed and delighted art-loving rodents ever since. Today, the painting hangs in the Moustropolitan Museum of Art, right here in New Mouse City, where it's viewed daily by thousands. But no one has ever been able to discover the secret behind the smileuntil now.
In an exclusive interview with reporters from The Rodent's Gazette, art expert Frick Tapioca announced a sensational discovery. He said he had x-rayed the Mona Mousa, and found another painting behind it! Furthermore, the older painting contains a message written in code by Mousardo da Munchie!
That da Munchie was one smart mouse, said Tapioca. He painted the mysterious smile on her because she's hiding one of history's best-kept secrets. Then, shuddering to the tip of his tail, he added, I'm starting to think it's a secret that may be very, very dangerous.
Regardless of the danger, Geronimo Stiltonwith the help of his sister Thea, his cousin Trap, and his favorite nephew Benjaminis determined to solve the 500-year-old mystery. It seems that Mousardo left eleven clues scattered all around New Mouse City, and the painting is the key. When all eleven clues have been found, the code can be broken and the secret revealed.
Perhaps that explains why various sinister-looking rodents have been trying to find the eleven clues before Geronimo does. Let's hope our not-so-fearless editor gets there first. Because if the secret falls into the wrong paws, there's no telling what could happen!

Following the launch of McLarens new car on Friday, Ron Dennis has announced he is to step down from his role as team principal and hand over to McLarens Formula One CEO, Martin Whitmarsh. Dennis will, however, stay on as chief executive of the McLaren Group and will still attend some races.
"Let me make one thing clear: this is very definitely not retirement," said Dennis. "In fact, I intend to work even harder from now on. And it's because I intend to work even harder - on growing the McLaren Group - that I've decided to pass the role of Team Principal of Vodafone McLaren Mercedes to Martin.
"In any case, this announcement wont change a great deal because, in his capacity as Chief Operating Officer of McLaren Group, Martin and I already jointly take all the major decisions that affect this company. What todays decision means is that Martin will now become solely responsible for the performance of Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and will be entrusted to ensure the team remains a competitive force in Formula One motor racing.
"As for myself, I will continue to expand and develop my role as McLaren Group Chairman and still intend to go to some, but not all, Grands Prix because I remain a diehard enthusiast. Motor racing is in my blood - and nothing will dilute my passion for either the sport or the success of this company."
Whitmarsh, who joined McLaren in 1989, will take over from Dennis from March 1, ahead of the season-opening Australian race in Melbourne on March 29.
"Ron and I have had many discussions about this over the past few weeks and months, but eventually it became clear that Rons decision was final," commented Whitmarsh. "Everyone knows what an incredible career Ron has had to date; his legacy is huge. As such, I remain hugely mindful of the responsibilities I assume as team principal - its a daunting yet exciting prospect. Despite todays announcement, I hope we will still continue to work as closely together as before."
Dennis kick-started his motorsport career in 1966, joining the Cooper Racing Car Company, after a spell as an apprentice mechanic. Within two years he moved to Brabham where he became the chief mechanic to Jack Brabham. By 1971, however, an ambitious Dennis had left to set up his own Formula Two team, Rondel Racing.
Rondel would be the first of several successful F2 and Procar outfits Dennis was involved with over the next decade. His big break, however, came in 1980 when his team Project Four merged with McLaren to form McLaren Racing. Within two years hed assumed control of the team.
McLaren have since won 162 races, eight constructors championships and 12 driver titles. Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna are just some of the famous names to have won championships whilst driving for McLaren, while the teams most recent champion, Lewis Hamilton, was hand-picked by Dennis when he was just 13 years-old as a future talent.
Denniss entrepreneurial skills have also led McLaren to diversify into several other areas including the design and manufacture of revolutionary road cars. In 2000, he was honoured with a CBE for services to motorsport and he retains a stake in McLaren, alongside fellow shareholders DaimlerChrysler and the Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company.

THIS PAGE: To create this elaborate updo resembling knuckles clasped together, Seminara added extensions to the model's long hair. He then performed some serious back-combing before sweeping the hair up, gripping it at he roots with hair grips and fashioning it into an "S" shape. "It's my modern take on the beehive," he says. FACING PAGE: Simplicity reigns upreme in this cutting-edge look that Seminara crafted with his signature hair piercing technique. "Basically, I created a small braid that goes around the hairline, then mixed gel with powder, applying it to remaining hair to create a very rough texture, before I added the piercings to the braid," he says.

Iowa City's affluent yet underground music scene has produced an eclectic group of young rockers known simply as Zeta June. The four-piece ensemble has generated quite the buzz among listeners and has shared the stage with several well-established regional and national touring acts such as Future Rock, The Floozies, Dopapod, Roster McCabe, Euforquestra, John Wayne & The Pain , Tallgrass, and Dead Larry to name a few. The members, Percussionist Cody Kuhens, Bassist Mitch Hruby, Guitarists Porter Hand and Ian Crawford, boast a breadth in styles that have gained them notoriety circa Midwest. This recognition is a testament to their originality, putting on performances that guarantee any audience a memorable experience. In just two years of existence their appeal has earned them bids to several music festivals including Summer Camp, Camp Euforia, 515 Alive, Jammin' On The Wolf, 80/35 Music Festival, and several others.
Zeta June comprises of an unexpected confluence in musical tastes. As a result of these individual influences, their soundscape mixes elements of funk, blues, slap bass, classic and synth rock to form a truly sophisticated track. However separate the backgrounds; chemistry between them is undeniable as their entire resonance reflects it. From seamless breaks to interlocking rhythms, Zeta attains a level of jam unseen many acts. Moreover, they have an uncanny ability to control the atmosphere of the room with a vibe that is sure to get crowds of any age groovin.
The band's true strengths lie in reciprocating the audience's energy. Their capacity to perpetuate this infectious flow greatly affects the ambience of a show. While they have gained a decent following within the Midwest, there is much left to prove.

Gdynia is a city in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of Poland and an important seaport at Gdańsk Bay on the south coast of the Baltic Sea. It is a relatively modern city and one will not find many historical buildings. The oldest building in Gdynia is 13th century St. Michael Archangel's Church in Oksywie. There is also a 17th century neo-Gothic manor house located in the Folwarczna Street in Orłowo.
In the harbour there are two museum ships anchored, the ORP 0Błyskawica destroyer and the Dar Pomorza Tall Ship frigate. Gdynia is also famous for its numerous examples of early 20th century architecture, especially monumentalism and early functionalism. Recently reconstructed Świętojańska street and Kościuszki square are also worth mentioning.
The surrounding hills and the coastline attract many nature lovers. Leisure pier and cliff-like coastline in Kępa Redłowska as well as the surrounding Reservation Park are also popular. 1.5 kilometres long promenade leads from the marina in the city centre to the beach in Redłowo. Most of Gdynia can be seen from Kamienna Góra (54 metres asl) or a newly built observation point near Chwaszczyno. You can also take hydrofoil or ship trip to Gdańsk Westerplatte, Hel or just see the port.

PICWave:A Photonic IC,Laser Diode and SOA Simulator
PICWave is a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) and laser diode/SOA simulator capable of modelling both passive and active components efficiently using a time-domain method. It includes a detailed multi-modal SOA model.
The simulator is ideal for studying the interaction of optical components in a larger circuit, which can include passive components, DBR gratings, SOAs, modulators (QCSE and silicon), photodiodes, RLC circuits etc. You can find the detail of PICWave's modelling capabilities here.
PICwave can model devices that are even metres in length. It can for example model a 2mm diameter ring resonator in a very short time to resolutions of a few MHz in optical frequency.
Note: PICWave supersedes Photon Design's laser diode modelling tool i-CLADISS which is now obsolete.
Application:Mode Hopping In A Fabry-Perot Laser
This example shows how PICWave can be used for the simulation of mode hopping in a Fabry-Perot laser diode.
Current is increased steadily from 0mA to 100mA in 20ns. Top plot is the optical output power. The middle plot is the mode gain giving an indication of the carrier density. The lower plot shows the time-evolving spectrum. The shifting mode frequencies below threshold can be seen until lasing locks the carrier density. Mode hops are accompanied by a temporary chaotic phase. Because of spatial hole burning the gain (middle plot) decreases gradually with increasing optical power.

5/23/10 - Sunday
Camping spot last night to Abington Gap (AG) Shelter. 5 miles. 3 hours, 9AM - Noon.
I've decided to stay here for the night. Let my stuff dry in the sun this afternoon. Water is probably 1/4 mile down a hill. No privy; I've gotten pretty adept at pooping in the woods.
I ate a hot lunch - Ramen (chicken flavor) with carrots and jerky. Supper was an apple, trail mix, and crackers.
People of the trail:
~Dude from Richmond. Met him at the AG Shelter.
~That local dude day-hiker found the speed hiker. Speed hiker's trail name is Galilee Man; he is from Galilee. I met him too, shook his hand. I can look him up on traillog.com. I've since learned he is hiking 14(?) hours a day, 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM. He left Georgia May 7th to arrive in Maine in July.
~Eddie from Lexington, NC. Thru-hiker. Lost his job so decided to hike.
~Ynot (Tony) from Minneapolis. Thru-hiker.
~3 dudes who I don't know their names. South Bounders.
~1 female with an accent.
~3 men at the AG Shelter. Section hikers. Great guys. Great help. All married with children. From Pennsylvania. Jim and Chris have grandchildren. Jim owns a grocery. Chris works in electronics. Frank is an engineer.
My current plan:
Mon: 8.5 miles to Double Springs Shelter
Tues: 8 miles to Iron Mountain Shelter
Wed: 13 miles to Watauga Lake Shelter
Thurs: 5 miles to Pond Flats
Fri: 6 miles to Dennis Cove
5/24/10, Monday
8.5 miles from Abington Gap to Double Springs. 5ish hours.
I'm tired. Well, my feet are so damn pooped, I don't even want to write.
I'm on a campsite above the shelter.
A trail angel left me bagels and an apple...just hanging on a log in a baggie. I'm a bit low on food, so that was cool.
~Met Stairway today. He lives on the trails. Goes south in the winter and north in the summer.
~Tonight I camp beside Whodat (Ryan) from Austin, TX, by way of New Orleans. Great guy. Concert and event planner. Thru-hiker unless he gets called for work.
~Met Waldo from Minneapolis and Duluth.
~Wonder passed by. Thru-hiker.
~Cliff is down in the shelter. Thru-hiker.
Plan change:
Tues: 10 miles to just past Turkey Gap to water source and camp site
Wed: 11 miles to Watauga Lake
Thurs: 5 miles to Pond Flats
Fir: 6 miles to Dennis cove

Can somebody tell me how to steal food from restaurants? I'm sick of paying for my lunch and think it's totally justifiable to demand that I start getting it for free. I heard somewhere that ground beef costs restaurants less than $2/lb., so why do they make me pay $5 for a hamburger? RIPOFF!
Legal or illegal recommendations welcome.
While we're at it, anybody know how I can get into movies for free? I mean, I like seeing big stars like George Clooney and Justin Timberlake in movies, but why do I have to pay for all the bit players and extras? If I could just pay to see the stars, I would. But since I can't, tell me how I can see movies for free.

Fabless chip designer AMD has decided to expand its Radeon brand to include DDR3 memory modules
It looks the same as a normal DDR3 Memory module only there is a big Radeon badge on it.
According to AMD's website, three 2GB long DIMMs are being released as part of a new Radeon memory line. Each memory is a 240-pin socket type dual in line memory module designed to hit a different niche.
The 'Entertainment' memory runs at 1333MHz (9-9-9 latency), then there is the 'Ultra Pro Gaming' DIMM working at 1600MHz (11-11-11) and last we have the 'Enterprise' memory which doesn't have finalised specs but will probably run for five years boldly going where no one has gone before before being mothballed for a couple of decades.
The DDR3-1333 module has been spotted in the Land of the Rising Sun and will set you back $20. It is not clear why AMD is making this move. After all the memory market is not doing that well and competition is tough.
We would not have thought that the sorts of people who buy AMD chips are the types who want an "only AMD" machine.

How is an object's center of gravity related to its stability?
If you gently tip the object and the center of gravity rises, it is in stable equilibrium. An example of this is a cone, base down. If the center of gravity lowers when gently tipped, it is in unstable equilibrium, as with a cone balanced on its tip. If the center of gravity goes neither up nor down, as a cone on its side, it is in neutral equilibrium.

MANCHESTER, United Kingdom, Nov 24, (AFP): Manchester United came back from behind to beat Queens Park Rangers 3-1 and return to the top of the Premier League in front of QPR manager-in-waiting Harry Redknapp on Saturday. The hosts struck three times in eight second-half minutes to claim the three points after Jamie Mackie had put QPR in front, meaning that Alex Ferguson's side have now trailed in nine of their 13 league games to date. Efforts in quick succession from Jonny Evans, Darren Fletcher and Javier Hernandez were sufficient to ensure that Rangers' wretched start to the season continued.
Mackie struck after 52 minutes following neat inter-play between Kieron Dyer and Adel Taarabt, who exchanged passes from a corner before the former sent in a cross that goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard could only turn into the path of Mackie for a simple finish. It was a startling opening goal but, within a dozen minutes, United were level from Wayne Rooney's left-wing corner, which found Danny Welbeck at the far post. The forward headed the ball back into the six-yard area, where Evans lost his marker Anton Ferdinand and powered in an unstoppable header of his own.
After 68 minutes, United went in front in almost identical circumstances as Rooney's corner was met by Fletcher, who eluded Ferdinand too easily before producing a header that gave Julio Cesar no hope. It was a cathartic moment for the Scotland midfielder, who was making his first Premier League appearance in over a year after a long spell on the sidelines due to a bowel condition. Finally, United were in full flow and minutes later they had a two-goal cushion. Substitute Anderson powered forward impressively from the halfway line before delivering a perfectly timed pass that Hernandez collected in his stride and drove past Julio Cesar from a dozen yards. Earlier, Redknapp took his position in the United directors' box, just hours after agreeing a two-and-a-half-year deal as Mark Hughes' replacement, having flirted with the Ukraine manager's job earlier in the week. Redknapp's brief is to haul QPR off the foot of the table but the visitors performed admirably and even had the ball in the net after 36 minutes, through a Mackie header, only for the effort to be correctly ruled out for offside.
United were struggling to find their rhythm. Robin van Persie found himself on the end of United's first real attack of the game, after 19 minutes, but his strike from Welbeck's pull-back flew into the side-netting. After 26 minutes Rooney and Paul Scholes showed neat footwork, juggling the ball for Ashley Young to half-volley just wide, before Julio Cesar saved with his legs from Rooney after Welbeck had launched a strong run down the right. The Rangers goalkeeper showed sharp reflexes again a few moments later when he dived to keep out another Rooney shot, this time from the edge of the area. United's frustrations showed when Young found himself in a furious row with QPR defender Clint Hill, who was angered by the winger for allegedly diving in the box. Seven months ago, QPR skipper Shaun Derry was sent off controversially after a challenge on Young in a fixture won 2-0 by United, and Derry was quick to enter the argument on Saturday as tempers frayed.
Arsenal 0, Aston Villa 0 In Birmingham, United Kingdom, Arsenal were left to rue poor finishing after their Premier League encounter with Aston Villa ended in a frustrating 0-0 draw. Arsene Wenger's side created plenty of chances at Villa Park but were unable to strike the decisive blow, with Wales international Aaron Ramsey particularly guilty of wastefulness in front of goal. Villa substitute Brett Holman went closest for the home side with a shot that rattled the crossbar from distance, but the point was still enough for Paul Lambert's side to climb out of the relegation zone. Arsenal, meanwhile, remain sixth, a point below fifth-place Everton and four points outside the Champions League qualifying places. The visitors made three changes from their mid-week game against Montpellier as Thomas Vermaelen, Jack Wilshere and Bacary Sagna were dropped to the bench in favour of Kieran Gibbs, Carl Jenkinson and Ramsey.
Aston Villa coach Lambert made one change from the side that lost 5-0 to Manchester City last weekend, with Karim El Ahmadi replacing Stephen Ireland in midfield. Villa carved out an opportunity in the 13th minute when Ashley Westwood's cross-field pass picked out Andreas Weimann and the Austria international saw his shot from a tight angle beaten away at the near post by Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. Moments later, Villa forward Christian Benteke laid the ball into Barry Bannan but his ambitious 30-yard shot was comfortably gathered by Szczesny. Arsenal started to find their rhythm as the first half wore on and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain threatened when he cut in from the right flank in the 21st minute, only to drag his shot wide.
The Gunners opened up the home side's defence again seven minutes later and Ramsey's low angled shot through a crowd of bodies forced Brad Guzan to make a smart diving save in the Villa goal. Villa had the ball in the net in the 28th minute when a Bannan free-kick caused a scramble inside the penalty area and Weimann squeezed the ball home, but the assistant referee had already raised his flag for offside. Arsenal missed a golden chance to break the deadlock shortly before half-time when Laurent Koscielny lifted a shot over the crossbar from close range after he had been picked out by Olivier Giroud. The visitors began the second half brightly and the lively Santi Cazorla curled a shot round the post just after the break following a swift counter-attack. Villa were dealt a blow in the 50th minute when captain Ron Vlaar limped out through injury and was replaced by Eric Lichaj, with Matthew Lowton shifting to centre-back.
West Brom 4, Sunderland 2 In Sunderland, United Kingdom, West Bromwich Albion took advantage of a howler from Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet to move up to third place in the Premier League with a 4-2 win at the Stadium of Light. Steve Clarke's side were leading through Zoltan Gera's blistering first half strike when Mignolet allowed the ball to slip from his grasp and Shane Long tapped in to cement Albion's lead. Craig Gardner got one back for Sunderland in the second half before a penalty from Albion forward Romelu Lukaku. Stephane Sessegnon struck late for the hosts, but Marc-Antoine Fortune sealed the Baggies' fourth successive win in stoppage time.
West Brom's victory lifted the season's surprise package above Chelsea and within two points of leaders Manchester City, while Sunderland lie only three points above the relegation zone. Black Cats defender John O'Shea, who had already been booked, was involved in an early flashpoint when he challenged Long just outside the Sunderland penalty area. Initially it seemed Mike Dean was about to show the former Manchester United star a second yellow card, but instead the referee booked Long for diving. Albion snatched the lead against the run of play in the 30th minute when Gera pounced on Adam Johnson's poor control 25 yards from goal and unleashed a superb shot that had too much power and movement for Mignolet to keep out. Martin O'Neill's side suffered a blow when midfielder Lee Cattermole was forced off with an injury. And it got worse for Sunderland when Mignolet's blunder gifted Albion their second goal in the 44th minute. Chris Brunt's over-hit through pass should have been easy for Mignolet to collect, but the Belgian somehow let the ball escape and Long was on hand to pounce as the Irish striker slotted into the empty net.
Wigan 3, Reading 2 In London, Spanish striker Jordi Gomez hit a hat-trick to give Wigan a last-gasp 3-2 victory over Reading after an atrocious blunder by goalkeeper Ali al Habsi appeared to have gifted the visitors a share of the points. Gomez, restored to the side after two defeats, hit three clinically-taken second half goals, the winner coming in stoppage time. But 10 minutes from the end, al Habsi had one of those moments all keepers dread as Reading striker Jason Roberts buslted his way into the area and found Hal Robson-Kanu in space only for the winger's shot to be deflected up into the air. Al Habsi could only stand and watch in horror as the ball dropped earthwards in what looked like slow motion, then let it slip from his grasp and trickle over the line. But in a final throw of the dice, Gomez sent Ivory Coast striker Arouna Kone away down the left and slamed the return pass into the roof of the net. Gomez had earlier struck twice in 10 minutes early in the second half, as half-time substitute di Santo raised Wigan's game. Reading 'keeper Adam Federici had a let-off on the quarter hour when Kone missed a sitter, stealing into the area and, unmarked six metres out, contrived to head Jean Beausejour's cross wide when it would have been easier to score.
Stoke 1, Fulham 0 In Stoke-On-Trent, Charlie Adam was Stoke's hero again as the Scotland midfielder scored the only goal in his side's 1-0 win over Fulham on Saturday. Adam bagged the winner in Stoke's previous match in front of their own fans against QPR at the Britannia Stadium and the former Liverpool star made the decisive intervention once more to lift City up to 11th place in the Premier League. His first half goal extended Stoke's unbeaten home league run to 13 games stretching back to February, while ninth-placed Fulham are now winless in their last five games.
In driving rain, Martin Jol's visitors who made the brighter start, with Giorgos Karagounis firing just wide in the second minute. Stoke hit back and Robert Huth headed wide from Matthew Etherington's corner before Adam broke the deadlock in the 26th minute. Adam showed impressive footwork as he took one touch, turned and fired home from close-range after Peter Crouch headed down Ryan Shotton's cross. Ryan Shawcross almost made it 2-0 in the 36th minute when his header crashed off the crossbar.
Norwich City 1, Everton 1 In Liverpool, United Kingdom, Sebastien Bassong scored in the last minute to earn Norwich City a 1-1 draw at Everton on Saturday that prevented the hosts from making ground on the top four. David Moyes' side would have been a point behind fourth-placed Chelsea if they had won, but Bassong's dramatic late intervention cancelled out Steven Naismith's 12th-minute opener to leave Everton frustrated. Norwich, who beat Manchester United 1-0 last weekend, are now unbeaten in six matches, while Everton have won just one of their last seven league games. Costa Rican midfielder Brian Oviedo made his first start for Everton since joining from FC Copenhagen and he made a quick impression by creating the opening goal at Goodison Park. After chesting down a long ball on the Everton left, Oviedo stole past Steven Whittaker and then cut the ball back for Naismith to tap in his third goal in three Premier League starts. It was the first goal Norwich had conceded in over 345 minutes of league football, following clean sheets in their three previous outings.
Everton came close to a second goal on several occasions, with John Ruddy saving from Leighton Baines and Naismith and twice thwarting Leon Osman. Norwich striker Grant Holt screwed a shot wide after bludgeoning his way to the edge of the Everton area, while Bassong put a header fractionally wide from a Robert Snodgrass corner in the 41st minute. The visitors redoubled their efforts to find an equaliser in the second half, with Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard obliged to parry an Anthony Pilkington free-kick just before the hour. John Heitinga then had to slide in to clear the ball off his own goal-line after Snodgrass beat Howard from Holt's through-ball. Baines stung Ruddy's palms in the 74th minute after surging into the penalty area but Everton appeared to have done enough, only for Bassong to strike in injury time. Javier Garrido's deep free-kick fell at the back post and Bassong met it with a strong header that hit the underside of the bar and dropped over the line, with Holt following in to make sure.

I don't think EK will order an additional 30 A380's, and pending 50 options for the A350 until Germany open up Berlin, and Stuttgart.
German jobs are better off exporting billions to the UAE that pay for every thing in the end, instead of throwing billions, upon billions into the crumbling EU economy which they will never get back. If its about jobs then the German/UAE trade balance is one sided in Germanys interest. I really don't think EK access to more German cities will hurt the German economy over all. Whats also very important the German consummer will have a much better choice in the end. |

For example, here in Italia we are struggling to see the 5th freedom of the air given to Singapore Airlines in order to operate Singapore - Milan Malpensa - New York JFK route. Former Italian government, and in particular former Infrastructures and Transports minister Altero Matteoli used always to hedge about it in order to protect Alitalia route (operated with an "embarassing to see" 5 x Week with A332). Singapore wants to place a daily flight between MXP and JFK (in the very beginning operating with B77W but, why not, in the future it could be A388). Now with the new government we are hoping that 5th freedom to SQ will be given. It would be a "crime" if not conceeded! So, if Air Berlin and, overall, Lufthansa have the intention to build up a big network from Berlin I think that blocking Emirates it's a wise decision. If they only want to operate a bunch of flights like Alitalia in MXP I think Emirates should have to be allowed to operate to Berlin. But if this happens a trouble would persist: Air Berlin has already declared to move all their flight to the UAE from DXB to AUH. UAE, as to do a spite to Germany, probably would not allow Lufthansa to fly to Dubai from Berlin so the German capital will be splitted, as the "Mauer" used to do, from one of the most important financial centre of the world.

Hello. How could I get to BER by a car? Will it be the same exit from autobahn as to Schoenefeld or different? I always go from Szczecin PL by A11 to 0km, heading to Frankfurt and on 53km turn to 113 north and several km's exactly to SXF. Will it be ok or not? And after opening BER will SXF be closed or still open for EU tracks?

^ It will be a little more quick as you will exit a few kilometers earlier on the A113. The new exit is already in use.

SXF will be closed once BER opens. However, if the airport authority ever wants to use the facilities or land currently used by SXF, they can do so (so no legal requirement to have SXF closed - but with BER the intent is to have everything under 1 roof!).

@Fabri88: SQ's upgauging SIN-FRA-JFK to A388, so it's very unlikely they will take use of these fifth freedom rights in the foreseeable future.
And concerning Germany - UAE traffic, I think you don't have any information about the bilateral. The current Germany-UAE bilateral is not far from Open Skies: the carriers are granted fifth freedom rights (many Open Skies agreements don't include this), and the carriers may fly from as many starting points in their own country as they want with as much capacity and frequency as they want. The only restriction is the number of destinations in the other country, being limited to 3 (EK was already granted HAM as a fourth German destination by an exception rule, and it's likely that EY is granted the same if they apply to). If the UAE want more, they should offer more in return (but besides DXB, AUH and SHJ, I don't see any more potential UAE destinations that could be interesting for German carriers). In fact, AB tying up with EY will very likely hurt Berlin, as this will mean that AB will have to route nearly all of its asian traffic via AUH. While there was a slim chance that we might see AB open up new routes to major Asian cities, or - with AB's integration into OneWorld - some Asian carriers like JQ/3K/AK, JL or even CX starting flights to Berlin, this scenario has become rather unlikely now. The tie up additionaly means some kind of sidesteping the bilateral, as you might see AB flying from any major German city (except FRA, MUC, DUS and maybe HAM where Etihad flies to on its own) to AUH feeding EY's hub, so the restriction to 3/4 destinations isn't a problem any more for Etihad - but another argument for not extending the bilateral, which would only help EK but massively German carriers (there's no level playing field in the competition with UAE carriers).

+1 BER will have a very "warm" interior which will spread a cosy snugness to the visitors. Quote:
Interesting. Two Poles planning to use BER. This is proof that BER could become an important airport for passengers from the three big Polish cities Stettin, Posen and Breslau! All three have very good Autobahn connections to Berlin so the travel time to BER is short and comfortable. |

^ Especially SXF already IS an important airport for Western Poland as can be spotted by the numerous minibusses and the parked cars with Polish numberplates. The joined airport operation, further growth and additional destinations that could otherwhise only be reached from the Western Polish airports by connecting somewhere will only raise the number.

That's all beacuse SXF have a lot and good connections to UK. And this is the reason why I go there twice a year or more. I've got some friends in UK who comes to PL for holidays. The nearest airport for me is SZZ (ESPC), but there are connections only to Dublin.
I think I will park my car for many many hours and take a long walk on the airport. |

Ottawa-based company Wi-LAN just opened up a can of legal whoop-ass, dishing out healthy servings to not only RIM but Motorola and UTStarcom. Wi-LAN has patents relating to both CDMA and Wi-Fi, and the ones they're claiming infringement on are "MultiCode Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum" and "Method and apparatus for multiple access between transceivers in wireless communications using OFDM spread spectrum". Bit of a mouthful, eh? The two both deal with transcievers and how they decode information, which goes to show how RIM, Motorola and any other manufacturers make for juicy targets for Wi-LAN. As if these guys actually have a "Litigation Update" widget on their site…
Tag: OFDM
Mobile WiMAX is making some headway in Europe, gaining ground on UMTS. The International Telecommunication Union has decided that OFDM-based technologies, such as WiMAX should be included in the ITU's international IMT2000 standard. European countries such as Norway, Sweden, and the UK are touting the decision as a step towards fair play in the future of wireless technology.
"This is a good sign for technology neutrality becoming the accepted approach for spectrum auctions in the future," says ABI Research analyst Ian Cox. "Mobile WiMAX products will start to appear in 2007 and can be used in unpaired spectrum, giving them an opportunity not available to UMTS."
It's good to see regulators realizing how huge WiMAX is going to be and paving the way for it to happen.

News Article
Former Trademark eSports Squad Now Sponsorless
A lot of confusion was caused today by the disappearance of the tdM tag from the HoN Tour Finalists and GSL Runner-up. Some rumours and hearsay about a probable disbanding made the rounds, but the drop of the tag has much simpler reasons.
The contracts between the established gaming organization [tdM]Trademark eSports and the team around captain Johan 'Mynuts' Andersson came to an end shortly after the Garena Star League 2013 event. The team consisting of Mynuts, Fittske, Limmp, zai` and noobG will still play together and attend the coveted HoN Tour Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada as planned. A new name for the team is not yet found, so they will be listed as ex-Trademark eSports for the time being.
The fate of Trademark eSports as an organization in HoN is undetermined as well. The organization had two standout teams during their stint in Heroes of Newerth including accolades of four HoN Tour Diamond Division Championship, the DreamHoN Winter 2012 Championship, two additional DreamHack appearances and a third place finish at the NASL Season 2 HoN tournament. Their commitment to Heroes of Newerth as a competitive game has been huge in the last two years, so it is unlikely that they will vanish out of the professional circuit for all too long.
