Discussion in 'Fly Fishing Forum' started by Krusty, Nov 1, 2013.
I'm not seeing fewer people on the water.
Of course you don't...you're living in the 'anthill' of Washington....in your neck of the woods you could raise a crowd for a frigging gerbil show. Think non-anadromous fish.
I'm talking the heartlands.
I don't limit my fishing to the Sky. Been to Chopaka lately? How about the Joe or C'DA? I could list many other places that are 509'er approved and not one of them is seeing a decrease in angler pressure.
You and your cousin have any kids yet?
Sorry. But, Spokane isn't the heartland of anything. Start throwing out stupid stereotypes.....
Cranky much? Son, I've been to all of them, and they were once much busier. And my cousin and I sired you (though I prefer your sister)....so we're doin ok!
Like Curt, I started fly fishing 55 years ago when I was 5 years old. My dad is a fly fisherman (he still does so at age 86) and I suppose you could say I got the bug early. Back in the late 1950's on into the mid- to late-1970's, there were very few fly shops. And most fly shops were located in destination locations.
I grew up in Northeast Pennsylvania, just north of where Jim Leisenring and Vincent Marinaro lived and fished and only 25 miles to the Pocono Mts, and 90 miles to the Catskill streams. Despite this and the area having a rather long fly fishing tradition with a fair number of fly fishers living in the area, there were exactly no fly shops closer than a 70 mile drive.We used to buy our stuff either at the local sporting goods stores (they carried everything from golf and tennis to hunting, camping, and fishing gear back then, not athletic equipment only like today), the local hardware store (some of them back then had a section of hunting and fishing gear), or via mail order.
Heck, back then things we take for granted today like genetic hackle didn't exist unless you were lucky enough to get some birds or eggs from the Dettes, Hebert, of a very few others and raised them yourself. Otherwise, we made due with Indian, Chinese, or other Southeast Asian neck hackle. And if we wanted to get a high end rod, that meant either seeking out a top bamboo rod maker, placing an order with him, paying him either a deposit worth 1/2 the rod or the full-price of the rod and then waiting anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to get the rod, or getting a custom glass rod made by Russ Peak or Powel and waiting a similar amount of time to get the rod.
Most of us thought in terms of Fenwick, J. Kennedy Fisher, and St. Croix glass rods as higher end rods. And we usually had to mail order them. If we were very, very fortunate, we could get our local sporting goods store to get one of them for us.
In other words, it was not easy being a fly fisherman regarding being able to buy rods, lines, flies, reels, or fly tying materials. But despite that, there were still a fair number of fly fishers about.
I started to see a change happening when I was in high school after the old ABC TV program known as THE AMERICAN SPORTSMAN started to show Lee Wulff and Joe Brooks fly fishing at various places in the US and around the world. More folks started to fly fish after seeing these fellows fly fishing on a national TV show. This then resulted in some new books on fly fishing and fly tying being published, which resulted in a bit more interest in fly fishing as well.
It became easier to get good fly fishing gear as we got into the early 1970's when some of the older fly fishers retired and started up very small fly fishing retail stores, sometimes out of their garages. This made it easier because you could find these folks and buy local, instead of having to mail order and wait up to a couple of weeks to get what you wanted and hope nothing was backordered or out-of-stock.
As we got into the late 1970's and on into the 1980's, which was prior to the movie, more retail stores opened dedicated to fly fishing. And gear became even more readily available. Again, quite a few of these new retail operations were started and run by folks who had retired from a career and were able to retire after 25 or 30 years, but because they liked to fly fish, they started up small fly shops.
It was also in around 1968 that Bucky Metz had developed his birds and had enough production to start selling his necks and saddles in a limited fashion. In the 1970's, he was able to increase production a bunch, and we also had Henry Hoffman put his necks and saddles on the market. Thus, we had great hackle available. Also, in the 1970's, there were some other hackle growers entered the market and it became very easy to get hackle of the size and quality you needed to tie the flies you were tying.
Scientific Anglers began selling their system rods in the late 1960's, and this allowed a person to buy a rod and a matching line that cast without under or overloading the rod. Thus, it became easy to match a fly line to a rod. This had a big impact as well. Also, in the 1970's Jimmy Green began experimenting with graphite at Fenwick for making fly rods with his first commercially available ones out in about 1974 or 1975. And Gary Loomis began making rods under the Lamiglas name with I think it was 6 partners in the late 1960's as well. And then he started up Loomis Composites in the mid-1970's because he wanted to move into graphite and his partners at Lamiglas didn't. He then left Loomis Composite and went completely out on his own with G. Loomis in the early 1980's, which he then sold to Shimano who still owns it. Sage got its start in the 1970's as well after Browning bought Fenwick and moved their production to Korea. Fortunately, Jimmy Green went to work for Sage.
Fly fishing retailers made enough money to justify hiring folks to work in the shop, which was a change from the old single or at most 2-man operations most commonly found prior to the 1980's. And the retailer owner demographic also changed from mostly folks who had retired early and who were receiving a decent pension, to folks who relied upon the shop to provide the income they needed to stay alive and support their families.
The guys who had the retirement income coming in only needed to make enough to pay the bills and make a little money to fund a trip to someplace like New Zealand or Argentina to stay in business. The newer ones who relied on the shop for all of their income were in a very different position. They needed (still do) to make enough to support not just the shop, but their family as well. Thus, when profits drop below what they need to support their families, they are forced to look at some other way to make a living. Many got jobs and hired someone to run the shop. However, after a while the guy behind the counter wants to make more than $20,000-$30,000 per year and the owner is put into a bind again. He wants to pay the employees more, but can't afford to do so and keep the doors open. So he ends up closing up shop.
And in the mid-1980's we had an explosion of fly fishing retailers, which became an avalanche after the movie came out. And has as been mentioned, the 2-hand rod revolution hit in the 1990's.
Now, we have folks working longer hours, getting fewer vacation days, higher prices for everything (which incomes haven't kept up with), and folks realizing they don't need to buy the latest whiz-bang rod in the fancy new color and the cool name because once you start to acquire high end equipment, you realize there is very little gain by trading in your high end stuff for the newest high end stuff. Therefore, high end rod sales go down some percentage. Same with high end reels. And folks also realize that they don't need to buy a new fly line every year and only buy a new line when the old one wears out or the buy a new rod for a different line weight.
Thus, we are going back to the modern version of how things used to be 50 years ago. We are able to buy great rod and reels directly from the manufacturer. In fact, the best hardly if ever sell a rod or reel other than directly to the customer. And we have decent, relatively inexpensive rods available at big box retailers like Cabella's (which is very close to the modern day Herter's) and fly shops alike. This is similar to being able to buy Fenwick, St. Croix, and Lamiglas back in the 1950's through the early to mid 1970's. Same with fly reels, which is similar to buying Pflueger or Martin reels back in the day.
It sure seems to me that we are going back to a former model of buying and selling fly fishing equipment.
Feel like I may be a good example of this. I'm 32 years old and have 2 kids under the age of 4. Every single one of my buddies who fly fishes also skis, mountain bikes, hunts and competes in things like trail run races or triathlons. While all of those hobbies I enjoy I would consider throwing a fly my passion but there is only so much time and money. While I lived in Seattle, just relocated to dallas, I found it much easier to drive 15 min and be on a sweet mountain bike trail vs 30-90 min of driving to fish. When single I'd get 75-100 days on the river, now I'm lucky to get 10 and my purchasing habits correlate. Now I live 4 blocks from a stocked pond so things may change for time on the water but right now I'm not willing to sacrifice a day a week away from my family to catch a few fish...in due time I'll haul my son w/ me and then it'll be 10x more enjoyable. Just my $0.02.
Of everything I have ever done in this life fishing is my favorite. I don't care what happens next. I don't care if people want to sit on their couch and fish on their Xbox. The rest of the world doesn't bother me. All I know is that I love to fish and my 11 year old son does as well. Ill continue fishing, and passing it down to him, until I take a dirt nap. If all the companies go out of business, ill cut down a tree and make stick poles.
I just don't worry about stuff like this. I know what I love to do. I will continue to do so, period.
My dad was never a fly fisherman, barely even fished. I was the one who introduced him into fly fishing. I'm 14, and I plan to go to college and get a business degree, and a PhD in Aquatic Entomology, like freestoneangler said, who needs nature and wild trout. I hope to keep fly-fishing an up and running sport.
Technology is just a distraction( yet the thought of trout distracts me when I'm in school).
Here's a trout I caught in the Sacramento River near Redding, Ca. Caught the frisky guy last Monday.
Almost all the guys I run into on our area's "blue ribbon destinations" look to be between 20 and 40 years of age. Most of them don't look like rich kids, I just wish some of them would bend their Yankees hats. I wouldn't be surprised if a drift boat went by on the Bitterroot blasting "dubstep".... Over the last several years I have seen the industry try way, way too hard to market gear towards these "extreme" young bucks. All that AEG Badass Intercontinental Euro Metrosexual Fish Bro Trout Bum stuff turned me on to vintage/used gear, which definitely didn't help the industry.
Agreed, but it still seems purposeful and image based.
I think for a lot of reasons, the "extreme" young bucks are going to be more likely to be interested in fishing than a lot of other groups. I grew up skateboarding and snowboarding. I know I'm not the only one on here that was. I had always enjoyed fishing, but it wasn't until I blew out my knee while snowboarding (I tried to jump a 60 foot gap, but my board only wanted to go 57 feet) that I became more interested in fishing. It was the perfect sport for someone who considered himself to be adventurous, willing to drive, and unafraid of sub-optimal conditions. In skateboarding and snowboarding, I loved watching the weather conditions and constantly exploring for new areas and new information. It wasn't a difficult transition to fishing. In either sport, you plan the day before trying to maximize your chances of success and you're glued to the forecasts, but really, you don't have any idea how the day is going to turn out, and that's where the fun is. Just like I read water these days, I used to read snow and concrete. A lot of fly-fishermen I meet now come from similar interests. I agree that this group is definitely more "extreme." They seem to be much less likely to be inspired by the history and literature of the sport, and more likely to be trolling the internet, watching 'ski-edit' style video teasers, and tying big, dirty streamers. On the river, you won't see em' because they're 2 miles downstream of the access looking for a 'secret' spot.
All good stuff mentioned...
Could the real reason be the decline of "recruitment" of new fly fishers - the teens to 30-somethings??
Lets face it this group of people need to leave the couch or gaming chair.
Today's demands have certainly changed us...it gonna take a self-conscious effort on our part.

Want to squeeze a bit more current through those inexpensive TO-92 package transistors? Then add a small metal heatsink.
I made this for a PWM DC motor driver, as some 2N2222 bi-polar transistors were handy. It worked OK, but the 2N2222 was getting very hot (too hot to touch.)
This will work with any TO-92 device--but the device must have a flat part to contact the sink (as TO-92 cases do.)
It's not entirely crazy; commercial heatsinks are available for this package. And the 2N2222 specs include two power dissipation ratings, Tamb <= 25 C (500-800mW) and Tcase <= 25 C (1.2-1.8 mW) (being ambient air temperature and case temperature.) Keep the case at 25 C or below, and the current rating more than doubles.
Step 1: You'll need...
-- Heatsink material: copper, aluminum or other sheet metal
-- Heat shrink tubing
-- Thermal paste compound (for CPU heatsinks)
-- A nibbler (or tin snips)
-- Files and sandpaper
Step 2: Cut out the Heatsink
The heatsink should be large enough to soak up excess heat, but can be almost any shape. However, it must have a "tab," slightly wider and taller than the transistor.
It can contain a hole for attaching to a circuit board, if that's desired.
Step 3: Fine-tune the Shape
This prevents the "tab" from sliding out of the heat shrink tubing, and off the transistor.
Note: to be honest, tapering the "throat" at the top of the tab seems to work better....the drawing illustrates this alternate method (which I used on the prototype.)
I've never seen anything like this before,
5 stars ^^
Here's a link with a nice visual...
*If the picture above doesn't work this should:
All the way around. Then cut down the sides every .6cm or so and drill 2 holes for the pins and 2 more for screws and the collector connection and that's it.
finally i can use my lm317l to give me 1A
BTW:have you seen(*)The Solenoid Concert ? (8)
Besides, it's fun to test components to failure (and to be surprised when they don't fail.) Especially if you've got 20 or 30 of 'em, and they were $0.10 a piece....
There are other options, too. Arctic Silver makes a thermal adhesive, essentially a thermally-conductive epoxy. I used what was handy...

Rare white rhino born at Ramat Gan Safari
Posted By Viva Sarah Press On June 18, 2012 @ 5:20 am In | 1 Comment
Terkel the white rhino is just days old but he's already a big star of the animal world. Born on June 15, at the Ramat Gan Safari just outside of Tel Aviv, the calf is being hailed as a success in the battle to keep his species off the endangered list.
Terkel was the second successful birth for his mother, 20-year-old Tanda. His four-and-a-half year old brother, Timor, is the only other white rhino born in the Ramat Gan Safari in the past 20 years.
Shortly after the announcement of the new addition to the rhino family at the Israeli safari park, zoos from around the world sent congratulatory messages on the birth.
Terkel was named for Dr. Amelia Terkel, a zoologist who is retiring at the end of the year after 30 years at the Safari.
White rhinos are considered difficult to breed in captivity. Tanda gave birth three times in captivity but only two of the births were successful.
Safari officials said Tanda, who came to Israel from South Africa, would likely be a good mother to Terkel judging from her experience in raising Timor.
The Ramat Gan Safari is part of a global conservation effort to save the white rhino. Some 300 white rhinos are killed every year by poachers who hunt them for their prized horns.

TG mag races a Piaggio Ape
We go endurance racing in a three-wheeled, rear-wheel drive, bright red Italian design icon
Posted: 28 Aug 2013
I shift my weight, sidecar-style, on the approach to corners. Helps keep the inside wheel down, reckon the veterans. They're wrong: the Ape jauntily cocks its wheel at the first sign of weight transfer.
I pass the pit lane a few times. Not sure how many. As the team boss - Le Patron - it's my job to divvy up the stints. So I do the decent thing and stop for a driver change. Next up, it's Dan, who weighs about three stone. Maybe he can go quicker.
DR (laps 29-40): Until now, my racing career has been limited to the aisles of supermarkets. Over the years, I've rounded a thousand end-of-aisle hairpins, trolley squeaking like a harrowed mouse, castor wheels flopping around all over the place.

What is file management?
Basic Technology Skills -> File management -> What is file management?
According to Wikipedia, file management: refers to the manipulation of documents and data in files on a computer. Specifically, one may create a new file or edit an existing file and save it; open or load a pre-existing file into memory; or close a file without saving it. Additionally, one may group related files in directories or folders. These tasks are accomplished in different ways in different operating systems and depend on the user interface design and, to some extent, the storage medium being used.
Basically, this means that file management refers to how you organize your files and folders. This organization could be on your hard drive (like My Documents), or on a flash drive, or other external storage device.
The main staple of file organization are folders. Folders, also called directories in some operating systems, are containers that can hold files or other folders (sub folders).
The figure on the right is an example of a file structure. The main folder, or directory, is called the root. You will notice that the root folder contains two other folders (Tangram and WTWcharts). The third entry on the first level is a file. You can tell it is a file because it has an extension. File extensions tell what type of program created the file. In this case it is a PowerPoint (ppt) file. Notice that the folder Tangram contains two other folders. FinalPapers contains the folder Presentations. Presentations contains a word processing file called discussion.doc.
If you have a good file structure, it will be easy to organize and find your files. The example on the left is a typical window file structure for the My Documents folder. Notice that there is a folder called My Classes. In that folder, there are sub-folders created for each course. This way, files can be organized by the class or course.
Notice that all of the entries on the left are folders. Not only do they have a folder icon, but they do not have an extension. Files have extensions that tell what application program they belong to. Saving and organizing files is very important!

Vandalism is covered under the comprehensive portion of an auto insurance policy. Physical damage coverages of collision and comprehensive both come with deductible amounts, which you choose at the start of your policy. So yes, you will have to pay the deductible associated with your comprehensive coverage when you have the damages caused by the vandalism repaired. In some states, there is an option of a deductible as low as $0 or $50 for comprehensive.
A homeowner policy usually does not cover your motor vehicle in an incident such as this, even if the car was vandalized in your own driveway. If your car was broken into and personal items were stolen out of it then a homeowner's or renter's policy will sometimes cover the items taken. It would depend upon the terms of your homeowner's policy.

Replying to: Not to mention... by gloopey1
Re: Not to mention...
Sounds like you are in agreement with the rest of your cohorts in Sprint management that it was smart to alienate, then lose, approximately 13,000,000 post-paid, high-ARPU customers (i.e. the 13,000,000 or so Nextel customers that have left so far). Why bother with the remaining 3,000,000 Nextel customers, they are irrelevant, too, eh? As has been said before "Truly, your intellect is dizzying"

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsProject Vehicles
1986 Mustang T-Top Finishes - Final Exam - The Project Car
This report marks the final stage of our '86 T-top coupe project. The road to completing the Fox-Rod resto of our special notchback was 11 months long. There were many peaks and valleys along the way, but the experience leaves us with a satisfying sense of accomplishment. Each time we hear our 'Stang's Keith Craft big-bore 347 and Paxton Novi 2000 supercharger scream to life, even the tasks we suffered through during the build process don't seem to be as trying as we thought.
We've covered a lot of ground in the past year, showing you many of the parts, technologies, and engineering that can and should be included in a bad-to-the-bone, street/strip 'Stang. FAST's XFI engine-management setup is among the components we've mentioned, and it's one of the really key parts on the car.
XFI is the operations center for the coupe's powerplant. It includes all the features we need for tuning the supercharged bullet, such as the ability to control every aspect of the engine's functions, with respect to air, fuel, spark, and boost. It's also capable of real-time datalogging and much more.
The management system is a breeze to install, and despite our initial apprehension, XFI is intuitive, easy to use, and isn't "too much" for the caliber of street-driven, race-ready beast we've created. Our unease was unfairly based on the opinions of 'Stangbangers who have used other laptop-controlled systems and had problems understanding them. The anxiety also came from parrots who have no hands-on experience, but authoritatively repeat incorrect information they've heard from others.
Despite its ease of use, we're novices with laptop tuning. We sought assistance from XFI experts TJ Tracey of Advanced Performance and Tom "Tom H." Habrzyk-believe it or not, that's pronounced "habb-chak"-of Advanced Product Engineering, as we made our initial venture into perfecting the 347's performance with XFI. Asking someone knowledgeable for help is something you should never be too proud to do, especially when dealing with an engine package that has the potential to make a lot of power when properly tuned.
TJ helped us dial in the motor's naturally aspirated program while we were at Keith Craft Performance Engines' facility last year and tuned our big-bore stroker to 478.9 flywheel horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 471.2 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm ("Big-Bore Score," Dec. '06, p. 58). Once the blower was installed and the coupe was ready to run, TJ sent us a program to use as a baseline starting point for tuning.
Working with the Dynapack Evolution 4000 chassis dyno at Extreme Automotive and using XFI's various fuel and timing tables to make adjustments to TJ's program, your tech editor and Saul "The Surgeon" Gutierrez got the supercharged stroker up and running. Through trial and error, we established a tune that gave us good air/fuel mixtures at idle and wide-open throttle.
XFI isn't a rocket-science type of management system. We credit our quick understanding of how it works to watching the instructional DVD that's included with the unit and having a general knowledge of how an internal-combustion engine functions. XFI is a laptop-controlled method of doing the same thing carb guys do with screwdrivers, jet-change tools, and a 11/42-inch wrench to loosen the distributor hold-down bolt. We manipulate an engine's air, fuel, and spark to achieve optimum performance.
As we've stated on many occasions during this project, our goal was to produce a drag-oriented 'Stang capable of going through the same motions as a good high-horsepower street car.
It was frustrating getting the engine to start right up when we began tuning, as the motor would intermittently have a hard time cranking over. Tom H. showed us how to correct the issue by phasing the MSD distributor, and he guided us through the finer points of XFI's graphs and data-capturing ability. That helped us dial in the coupe's street-ability and dragstrip performance. Now the engine starts immediately, the motor runs and idles without having to throw it in Neutral or pedal it with simultaneous doses of throttle and brakes at stop signs, and it runs well.
We have to say, we've nailed it with this Mustang. The T-top coupe is impressive on the dyno, as it has great power and monster torque-we haven't really touched the Novi 2000's full boost-potential yet. It's a blast to drive around the streets of LA's San Fernando Valley-and, yes, for those who know the area, we have made a few full-tilt passes on "The Road." Based on results from the car's maiden voyages down the 1,320, it's clear that we've covered all the bases with our project buildup.
On The DynoOur first tuning effort was made on the chassis dyno at Extreme Auto-motive. Through trial and error, we were able to dial our blown big-bore engine combination to an impressive 473.57 hp at the rear wheels at only 5,800 rpm and 8 psi of boost. Note that the figure was derived with our Precision Industries Stallion torque converter locked up during the dyno hit.
We experimented with the lockup function a lot during our tests. With the lockup on, horsepower seems to come on/increase a bit later in the rpm range than it does with the converter unlocked. For example, with the lockup off, our engine made just more than 100 hp at 2,200 rpm. With lockup activated, we didn't see 100 hp until the engine reached 3,300 rpm. Peak horsepower-the aforementioned 473.338-really does shine with a locked converter.
Peak torque was our overall performance champion on the dyno. With the converter unlocked, our 347 put out a brutal 641.652 lb-ft of rear-wheel torque at 2,566 rpm. When we reported the results to Jeff Henry of Keith Craft Performance Engines, the man who built the big-bore bullet for our project 'Stang, his reply was, "That car is gonna blaze the tires like nobody's business-or stand straight up on the rear bumper if it hooks."

An organization can maintain control over the standards to which they are held by successfully self-policing themselves. If they can keep the public from becoming aware of their internal problems, this also serves in place of a public relations campaign to repair such damage.
The cost of setting up an external enforcement mechanism is avoided.
Self-policing attempts may well fail, due to the inherent conflict of interest in asking any organization to police itself. If the public becomes aware of this failure; an external, independent organization is often given the duty of policing them, sometimes with highly punitive measures taken against the organization.
The results can be disastrous, such as a military with no external, independent oversight, which may commit human rights violations against the public.

Did you know that the entire Life photo archive is available and searchable online? How cool is that? All you have to do is go to Google Images, and in the search box enter source:life at the beginning of your search phrase, and you'll get the life photo archive results. For example if you wanted to find all Walt Disney photos, you'd enter source: life walt disney. That being said...I found this very cool photo of Roy Disney sitting in a big pile of merchandise. I'm guessing this is 1953 or thereabouts, since Peter Pan merchandise figures prominently in this photo, and there is nothing from Lady and the Tramp or later, nor Disneyland.

My twin babies are toddlers now and I never got to cloth diaper them much due to unforeseen circumstances. Now I am suddenly a single mom, and though I don't like to part with these beauties, I do have to pay the bills.
All items are new unless otherwise indicated, and they are from a pet-free, smoke-free home. They have been stored very carefully and are as new as when they came to me. All prices are ppd. Thank you for looking!
This small fitted is by Fattycakes. It has a rockin' cotton waffle knit skull print outside, with red snaps, stitiching and luscious red OBV inner. The doubled insert is red OBV with cream cotton backing and snaps in. This is a very cool diaper!
It looks like your post might have been missed, so I wanted to bump it up for attention.

Each and every time I go into a classroom filled with small children and spend more than a few moments there I come away with renewed gratitude and respect for those among us, elementary school teachers I mean, who have the intestinal fortitude and whatever other strength of character it takes to spend days with young children, in sets of 20, helping them grow and learn.
Children are loud! They don't always have complete control of their body fluids! And they need to learn all sorts of things, from the difference between to, two and too, to how to listen to a peer talking while they, too, have something to say (many adults, by the way, never master either of these two skills).
In any case, my oldest child was lucky enough to have Karlyn Taylor, who was profiled two weeks back in the Alameda Journal. What I found most remarkable about Mrs. Taylor (aside from the fact that she was teaching in the classroom in which she herself attended kindergarten decades back) was that she created, in a classroom of high readers and low readers, socially gifted and socially awkward, native English speakers and ESL students, the warmest and friendliest social environment. Those children cared for one another, and learned how to show it. As my daughter said, "I love Mrs. Taylor." So happy retirement Mrs. T, and thanks for all your love.

Lush, grassy, and populated by invasive algae and molluscs with paper-thin shells - that is what the acidic oceans of the future could look like.
An exploration of natural "bubble streams" of carbon dioxide in shallow Mediterranean waters off the coast of Italy is the first to document the effects of ocean acidification in a real ocean setting.
The notion that the oceans will become more acidic as CO2 concentrations rise is well understood. By the year 2100, ocean acidity is predicted to be 7.8 pH, compared to 8.2 pH in 1900.
But all the studies of how this will affect marine ecosystems have been carried out in laboratories, many involving organisms with shells being placed in low-pH seawater and watching them slowly dissolve.
The experiments give little indication of the degree to which this would happen in the open oceans, affected by currents and the population dynamics which regulate ecosystems.
Champagne sea
Jason Hall-Spencer and colleagues at the University of Plymouth, UK, have now looked at just this process. They found a site off the island of Ischia in southern Italy where geologic CO2 naturally seeps through the seafloor.
"It is visually stunning, like a 300-meter-long Jacuzzi," says Hall-Spencer, who says diving on the site felt like swimming through champagne.
Natural CO2 seeps are usually associated with hot vents. The Ischia site offers an usual opportunity to study cool, acidified ecosystems that are not modified by the toxic effects of sulphur.
It also allowed the researchers to study how the Mediterranean ecosystem changed across a pH gradient. On the outer edges of the "Jacuzzi", the pH was a "normal" 8.2; in water immediately above the seep, it dropped to 7.4.
At a pH of 7.8, the team noticed a marked change. Populations of coralline algae, which hold reefs together, suddenly crashed. Sea-urchins also disappeared.
And there was a transition from a coral ecosystem to one dominated by lush sea grasses. These, along with invasive algae originally from Asia, thrived in the acidic waters. The researchers warn that as waters become more acidic, opportunistic invasive species that are better able to survive at low pH could move in.
Soft shells
Another marked effect of the acidified water was something which has been described in laboratory settings - the hard shells of animals such as limpets softened. "They were paper-thin," says Hall-Spencer. "You could push your thumb through them."
Hall-Spencer believes the ecosystem changes he and his colleagues documented in Ischia are relevant to other ocean ecosystems because the types of organisms they studied - sea urchins, corals and sea-grasses - are found around the world.
In the US, an initiative known as the Free Ocean CO2 Enrichment experiment is underway to pump CO2 into the sea-floor off the coast of California and look at how this changes the environment.
Hall-Spencer believes that other natural seeps could be found and studied around the planet. Having looked at geological maps of the Gulf of Mexico, he believes cold CO2 seeps could be found there.

My 2 cents:
I have used TCM (toolkit for conceptual modeling) to
do flow charts, diagrams, etc. It is fairly easy to
use (from d/l to completed chart took me about 30
mins). And it exports to EPS, LaTex, PS, and PNG.
Granted, this is is the _only_ software of this type
that I have used, because it solved all my problems so
fantastically. Maybe the others that were mentioned
in this thread work great, but I'll stick with TCM
until I find a good reason not to.

Narrow your search
The social network aimed at teens hopes to accelerate growth further by featuring photos of users inside local taverns.
While it pales in comparison to bigger sites like MySpace, MyYearbook has a healthy user base of young teens that advertisers crave.
MTV is launching a site for youth to "identify, respond to, and stop the spread of digital abuse," including sexting and cyberbullying.
Virtual currencies have become big moneymakers for social sites. A new site will let users swap currencies across virtual borders.
Two rival companies, Boku and Zong, want to replace your credit card number with your cell phone number. Here's how it might pan out.
Yet another rogue app spreads on Facebook, as does new variant of Koobface worm that tricks users by including the name and photo of an intended victim's Facebook friend.
Also: Mio.tv has acquired Wamba for approximately $5.1 million; Sedo acquired RevenueDirect for an undisclosed sum; and myYearbook.com has donated over $250,000 in its early stages to global warming initiatives.
The Web-based chat service now has the two social networks' IM hooked up along with the likes of AIM, Yahoo, and Windows Live.
Nielsen Online's September statistics for the biggest and fastest-growing social networks in the U.S. are in, and it looks like MySpace is still clinging onto a lead.
First announced in July, the yet-to-launch program will chart Meebo's reach at over 70 million users, CEO Seth Sternberg says.

After a full charge up to 14.7 it will drop down into the 13.3-5 range by the next day or so, and that will still flip the bike extremely well...no one should be looking at the 14v range as the realistic operating range of the battery though it is a nice charge to point.. You want the bike to start effectively at is nominal voltage and a little below that because a majority of riders actually let the bike sit a couple days/weeks in between rides...so they really need it to work even after a little parasitic drain.
This goes back to my Power is King rule....For example...if you have an 240 CCA battery at 13.2v it will have trouble starting a bike above 1300cc.... but if you have a 360 CCA battery at 12.8v it will still flip that 1300cc bike even though its only at roughly 70% capacity... this is because it more powerful it can deliver more power with a lower state of charge.... So in fact voltage is only relevant to a certain degree itself...which I will discuss later....
Eight A123 cells start the 4.2 liter V-8 in my Mercedes at 46 degrees ambient with no lag and will do it 10 times in a row with the headlights on without slowing. Your 12 cell battery is almost absurd.

Protecting the Earth Through Interfaith Education and Activism
by Yonatan Neril
from The Huffington Post
The Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison tells the following story: A young girl with a bird in her hands went to a wise person. The child asked the wise person, "Is the bird in my hands alive or dead?" If the answer was "dead," she would open her hands. If the answer was "alive," she would close her hand and kill the bird. The wise person, sensing her intention, responded, "I cannot say whether the bird is alive or dead, but I can say that the fate of the bird is in your hands."
Today we have in our hands not one bird, and not just all birds, but all living beings on our planet, including 7 billion human beings.
I grew up on an acre of land in California with a large orchard and organic garden. In my BA and MA studies with a focus on global environmental issues, I conducted research in India on renewable energy and in Mexico on genetically modified corn. I came to see first-hand global environmental changes that humanity is effecting on this planet. Following these studies and research, I studied for a number of years in a rabbinic program. Because of my environmental background, I encountered traditional Jewish texts from a particular lens, and realized that my own tradition offers profound teachings that relate to environmental sustainability. I also came to realize that other faith traditions — Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and others — also speak deeply about the roots of and solutions to our environmental challenges. Based on this understanding, I founded The Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development to access the collective wisdom of the world's religions to promote co-existence and environmental sustainability through education and action.
The Tony Blair Faith Foundation's: 2011-2012 Faiths Act Fellowship
from The Tony Blair Faith Foundation
Those who seek to cause religious conflict are small in number but highly motivated, organized and funded. While there are billions of people who are engaged in their own faith tradition, many have not yet learned how to live or work together well with those of different traditions.
The Tony Blair Faith Foundation decided to tackle this challenge through organising a year-long Fellowship that brought together young people of different faiths to work toward better interfaith action. The Foundation selected 33 outstanding future leaders, who between July 2011 and June 2012, worked in interfaith pairs around the world. They built understanding between different religious communities by mobilising them around the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in particular around malaria prevention.
The Fellows represented a diverse cross section of the faith traditions: 11 were Christian, 10 Muslim, 5 Jewish, 3 Hindu, 2 Buddhist, 1 Baha'i, 1 Sikh and 1 Quaker. Thirty of the Fellows were placed in multi-faith pairs in Canada, India, the United Kingdom and the USA.
Opportunities and Rates for Australian Students and Teachers
With representatives from every faith tradition from all around the world and over five hundred programs, performances, panel discussions and more, the Parliament of Religions is already an extraordinary educational opportunity. We are also happy to announce a whole day of special sessions created specifically for students and teachers in Australia.
On Monday, Dec. 7th, the Parliament is proud to present nine sessions with a special emphasis for youth and educators. Programs such as "Religion and Belief in Public Schools" and "The Centrality of Spirituality in Australian Indigenous Education" are sure to provide students with an unforgettable experience and plenty of food for thought.
Teachers interested in bringing students to this day of educational sessions may qualify for special low rates. To learn more about the Monday program and the opportunities it provides, click here.
A World of Possibilities
The Parliament of Religions is an intentionally international event. Including Melbourne 2009, the event will have been hosted on four continents, and the Parliament brings together religious adherents from dozens of different faith traditions. It makes sense that our registrants would be equally diverse.
The registration analysis isn't complete, but we have already confirmed attendance from over sixty different nations. From Malaysia to Canada, from Zimbabwe to Iran, from Nepal to Guatemala and of course Australia, the Parliament has found its way across the breadth and width of the world. This is seen in a variety of programming, from our many Pre-Parliament Events to the Partner Cities Network.
As our registration increases, the world grows closer and closer.
The world will come together in Melbourne this December.
We hope to see you there!

Fullerton, Calif.-The women's tennis team of New Mexico State University had to battle both the elements and its opponent, losing a close 4-3 match against Cal State-Fullerton on Tuesday, March 22.
The match against CSF was originally scheduled for Monday, but was moved back one day due to rain. The delay forced the Aggies to play two matches in two days, requiring travel between the two matches.
The Aggies started off strong, winning all three doubles matches. Senior Isabela Kulaif and sophomore Ginet Pinero led off the doubles lineup with an 8-6 win over Tiffany Mai and Monica Rodriguez in the No. 1 match. Sophomore Jodie Williams and freshman Annemieke Witte followed up with a 9-8 win over Morgan McIntosh and Megan Sandford in the No. 2 match, and junior Natalia Salum and freshman Ros-Polly Nguyen finished up with an 8-2 win over Karina Akmendova and Katie Nichols in the No. 3 match.
The tide began to turn for NM State when singles play began. The Aggies earned two singles wins, but it was not enough to win the match.
Salum defeated Sandford 6-4, 6-4, in the No. 4 match and Nguyen defeated Nichols 6-0, 6-0, in the No. 6 match. The win by Nguyen was the single most dominating performance by any player from either team on the day.
"It was a hard loss, one that should not have happened," head tennis coach Ivan Fernandez said. "We need to refocus and not let anymore matches like this get away from us."
Due to another rain delay, NM State will face Cal State-Northridge tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. (MT).
