iPad Tablet Skins
Keep Thinking Different.by Liam Brazier
Skins are thin, easy-to-remove, vinyl decals for customizing your laptop . Skins are made from a patented material that eliminates air bubbles and wrinkles for easy application.
Liam amazing work! I especially like your superhero and star wars characters. I am new to this site and I was wondering what is the best way to change jpeg resolution to put art on iPhone cases and other types of skins? All I can do now is prints without resampling in photoshop. Thanks I appreciate any advice.
@Brandon Not sure what you mean, for the phone cases/skins on this site I have a PS canvas preset for the correct dimensions then position my artwork on it accordingly to save out to highest quality jpeg.
This looks great, ordered it on a tee.
this is great - are you using a rendering software?
@CSERA surfaces - no. I just draw them freehand in Photoshop.
Awesome work!
"Awesome designs would you like to submit your designs to a limited edition Tee company in New Zealand email me for more info email@example.com

There are probably some experiences people shouldn't try for the first time when they're over 65, but I really wanted to go camping out West. I don't much like the notion of a "bucket list," with its attendant connotation of impending bucket-kicking, but I knew I wanted to try camping while I'm still fit.

Dusty and monumental, India's trains often seem as ancient as India itself. – Paul Theroux
Ever since the British built the railroads in India that stitched that vast subcontinent together, the trains have connected all of its disparate parts.
When I was on assignment shooting a story on the Indian Railways, I would go to the station every day and wander around the platform each time a train would roll in, carefully stepping over bodies and around huge mountains of luggage, and would start to photograph the swirl of life that assaults and saturates the senses.
Anything and everything takes place in a station; there is nothing that the depot hasn't observed. The train station is a theater and everything imaginable happens on its stage. People endlessly wait, they camp out in the stations, and many call it home.
Travelers must share it with the occasional cow or even monkeys foraging for scraps, tolerate ever-present shouts from vendors trying frantically to attract business, and demonstrate patience with the endless queues.
"India is peculiarly visible from a railway train. I have the idea that much of Indian life is lived within sight of the tracks or the station, and often next to the tracks, or inside the station. It is not only part of Indian culture, but it is an ingredient in Indian life; it is dynamic, energetic, powerful. It is impossible to imagine India without the railway, or to think what could conceivably replace it." -Paul Theroux, The Imperial Way

3. NAMI California's Mental Health, Criminal Justice, Community Project
January 26, 2006 marked an important day for six California Bay Area counties. Law enforcement and mental health professionals from Contra Costa, Haywood, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara came together to discuss current program initiatives. Issues included a history of Mental Health Courts and the Law in California, Crisis Intervention Training (CIT), the San Francisco Jail Psychiatric Services and Jail Aftercare, Restorative Policing, Proposition 63, and the Mental Health/Criminal Justice Consensus Project. With information sharing comes knowledge, power, and change. The second phase of this summit included a discussion on how each representative will advance their projects as well as develop new initiatives. Some participants plan to develop mental health courts in their area while others will invest in CIT programs. We commend NAMI California and colleague organizations taking part in this project and their plans to continue improving law enforcement and mental health collaborations.
For more information, please contact Sharon Roth of NAMI California at email@example.com
4. Milwaukee CIT Team Receives National Coverage
Mental Health Weekly published an article on January 30, 2006 discussing the success of the Milwaukee CIT team. The CIT team is made possible through collaboration between the police, NAMI- Greater Milwaukee, the University of Tennessee Medical School, and the University of Memphis. The first CIT course culminated in the graduation of 30 officers, as well as 4 supervisors and 4 SWAT team members. CIT in Milwaukee was born out of local NAMI members learning about the program at the National NAMI conference. Michelle Czuba, the executive director of NAMI- Greater Milwaukee, was quoted in this recent coverage in her discussion of the need for de-escalation, program goals, and the continuation of care. "By de-escalating we mean keeping everyone safe: the person in crisis, family members, the community at large and the officers responding. Additionally, the goal is to make appropriate referrals- for example, offering an alternative to costly involuntary commitment in a mental health hospital or incarceration." An interesting and important aspect to this program is the emphasis on the continuation of care for consumers who come in contact with law enforcement. While talking about the follow-up process in the Milwaukee CIT program, Czuba explains that several days after the intervention, "a member of NAMI- Greater Milwaukee will follow-up with the consumer and/or family member to find out how things are going and to get their perspective of how the situation was handled. We view our program as a work in progress and have built in many opportunities for evaluation, feedback, and quality assurance." To learn more about this program and their national coverage, please contact Michelle Czuba at firstname.lastname@example.com or Sandra Pasch, the NAMI-Greater Milwaukee President emeritus, at firstname.lastname@example.com
5. Oklahoma CIT Program in the News
Lt. Robert Cornelison of the Oklahoma Midwest City Police Department (MWCPD) was recently published in the periodical Chief to Chief: Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police. The article advocates for CIT and community collaboration for successful police/consumer encounters. The MWCPD CIT program began in June of 2004 through a partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health/Crisis Center, consumers, and family members. Lt. Cornelison stresses that de-escalation, compassion, and patients are key components to a successful CIT program. In discussing the success of the MWCPD CIT team, Lt. Cornelison says that as well as immediate crisis response, "rrest and use of force can be decreased; and injuries during crisis events may decline."Perhaps most importantly, CIT gives consumers a sense of safety and assurance. Since the program's implementation, family members and consumers calling 911 for assistance have begun to specifically ask for a CIT officer. To date, the MWCPD has 100 CIT sworn officers as well as more than 20 commissioned officers and jail workers.

May 30, 2016
MOAB, Utah (AP) -- A 22-year-old Utah man was killed while swinging from a rock arch in a stunt made popular by YouTube.
Grand County sheriff's officials say Kyle Lee Stocking, of West Jordan, died about 3:30 p.m. Sunday, after hitting the ground below the 140-foot-tall Corona Arch near Moab.
Sheriff's Lt. Kim Neal tells The Salt Lake Tribune the length of rope from the arch was miscalculated and sent Stocking swinging into the ground as he went under the red sandstone formation. Rescuers say he was dead at the scene.
Viral videos have bolstered the activity, which involves using rock climbing ropes and jumping from near the top of the arch. One titled "World's Largest Rope Swing" has racked up more than 17 million views on YouTube since it was posted in February.

We are using ZCS release 7.2.0 on a CentOS 5.9 machine. I have a user who has two email accounts on the same email server. The user would like to login to his main account on the Zimbra Web Client and also see the mailbox for his second email account. I searched through the forums and found the following article: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/users/1...mailboxes.html. The article did mention something called 5RC1 in it and I don't know what that is. Being that this article is from 2007, I think that 5RC1 may be the name for an old version of Zimbra. Also, the link with the 5RC1 name in it takes you to the Download page for "Zimbra Collaboration Server - Open Source Edition". I did a quick Google search of "5RC1" and found some articles on backtrack 5 RC1 but I don't think this is referring to the penetration testing software.
I created a dummy email account on our email server so I could test this first. I logged into the web client for my main user. I then went to "Preferences" -> "Accounts". I clicked on the "Add External Account" button. I put the email address for the dummy account into the "Email Address" field. The "Email Server" field gets automatically populated with the domain name from the email address. I put the password into the "Password" field. I chose the "IMAP" radio button. I also clicked on the "Use an encrypted connection (SSL) when accessing this server" checkbox. I then hit the "Test Settings" button.
I get the following error message: Error: Connection refused
I then clicked on the "POP3" radio button. I hit the "Test Settings" button.
I get the following error message: Error: Connection refused
I then changed the value in the "Email Server" field to the fully qualified domain name and change the radio button back to "IMAP" (as this is what we are using).
I get the following error message: Error: LOGIN failed
I then clicked on the "POP3" radio button. I hit the "Test Settings" button.
This time I got the following error message: Error: invalid username/password
I know that the username and password are correct because I just created them. I also successfully logged into the Web Client for my new dummy account
I also tried putting the IP Address into the "Email Server" field instead of the fully qualified domain name. When I chose the "POP3" radio button, I got the " Error: invalid username/password" error message. When I chose the "IMAP" radio button I got the "Error: LOGIN failed" error message.
Any ideas how I can properly setup 2 mailboxes from the same mailserver to show up on the Zimbra Web Client when you log into one account? Thanks.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Health officials say students at an east Georgia high school will continue to be tested for tuberculosis after the holidays as a precaution.
Tammy Burdeaux, a nursing and clinical director with the East Central Health District, says officials will re-examine Butler High School students who returned negative skin tests for tuberculosis bacteria during the initial rounds of testing.
The Augusta Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/W8htDa) that three students have been diagnosed with tuberculosis and are out of school receiving treatment. The initial patient showed signs of the illness in October.
Earlier, the health department tested 500 people for the disease and 75 of them showed signs of TB exposure. However, most people in the county who show signs of TB exposure never develop the disease.

Hello everyone,
One of our user was trying to send a big mail (with an attached document of 55Mo) and it made ZDesktop crash... well not really a crash, but everything that we tried to do just led us to an error message (server too long or something like that, don't remember). We couldn't change directory and couldn't even delete the big message. So I looked for the file matching with this message, and I deleted the file on the hard disk drive (store/0/...../.msg). After that, ZDesktop works great the user now can change directory, write and read mails, but the problem is that everytime he tries to go to the Drafts folder, an error message occurs talking about "NO_SUCH_BLOB". I tried to launch a reindexation of his mailbox, but for the moment (about 4hours later), it isn't better at all.
Does anybody have any idea (well, except telling me that deleting the msg file wasn't a good idea...) ??
Thanks in advance

FREDERICK, Md. (WUSA9) -- A teacher arrested on allegations he sexually abused two 11-year-old girls in Montgomery County was released on a $100,000 bond on Friday, says the public affairs director for the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office.
Thursday, Montgomery County Police said they arrested Timothy Krupica of Federick, who teaches at Meadow Hall Elementary School in Rockville.
Police say their investigation revealed that between September 2012 and February 2013 Krupica inappropriately touched the girls and forced or attempted to force them to inappropriately touch him on several occasions.
Krupica was charged with two counts of sexual abuse of a minor and several additional sexual offense charges, said police.
A Montgomery County Schools spokesperson said that Krupica has been with Montgomery County Schools since 2009, working at Meadow Hall Elementary the entire time. He is on administrative leave with pay.

Grove Terrace Motel owner Vince Camastro has until Monday to respond to the city of Wheeling's motion to dismiss his lawsuit seeking to force the city to pay for damage police officers caused when they broke in a door to apprehend a fugitive.
According to court documents, Wheeling police Officers Will Ward and Thomas Callison broke down a door at the motel, located on National Road in Elm Grove, while attempting to arrest Zach Collins in July 2011 on a felony warrant for allegedly breaking into the Croatian Club in Benwood. The police report, prepared by Callison, states that the door sustained only slight damage, and that Camastro agreed it was minimal. Groves Custom Builders of Moundsville, however, estimated the damage to be worth $1,800, according to a receipt filed with the court.
Camastro is seeking to recoup the $1,800, as well as court costs. He alleges the officers "negligently and/or intentionally forced entry into Room No. 1 by forcefully kicking in the steel frame door instead of breaking the near adjacent window."
In addition to Ward and Callison, Camastro is blaming Collins for the damage and named him as a defendant in the suit.
Camastro states that Collins, by "wrongfully concealing himself from justice as a fugitive, directly and proximately caused substantial damage" to the door.
Ohio County Magistrate Joe Roxby dismissed the suit in December, and within days, Camastro filed an appeal with the Ohio County Circuit Court.
City Solicitor Rose Humway-Warmuth moved to dismiss the suit earlier this year, saying Camastro's allegations are baseless. Neither the city, nor Ward nor Callison, can be held responsible for the damage under the Government Tort Immunity Act because the officers were acting within the scope of their duty, she said. Ohio County Circuit Judge David Sims earlier this month warned Camastro that if he does not respond to the city's motion by the close of business Monday, he may dismiss the case.

Samsung are sending me one for free to use as a personal camera and to help get myself and my staff familiar with it so we can easily answer customers questions about the device and it features.
Personally I'm excited with the concept - a decent P&S compact that you can immediately edit and share images with. No need for a tablet or a laptop, a huge choice of apps and a web browser. Could end up being the perfect day-to-day camera.
AT&T brings Samsung Galaxy Camera to USA, but at what cost?
US mobile carrier AT&T has become the first network to announce that it will be offering Samsung's Galaxy Camera - the first truly camera-like device to include a cellular data connection. The version being offered is being described as 4G but AT&T has confrimed it will use an HSPA+ connection, rather than the faster 'LTE' system that is more widely accepted as '4G.' Prices and details of data plans are also unspecified at this point. (via Engadget)
Press Release:
AT&T First to Launch Galaxy Camera; Samsung Defines New Category with 4G Connected Camera
Samsung Galaxy CameraTM combines high performance photography and AT&T 4G wireless connectivity to enable seamless sharing across devices and with social media
Dallas, Texas, October 04, 2012
AT&T* and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (Samsung Mobile)1 today announced the Samsung Galaxy Camera™ coming to AT&T. The Galaxy Camera combines high performance photography with Android™ 4.1 Jelly Bean and AT&T 4G mobile internet connectivity, resulting in a powerful point and shoot camera with a familiar, intuitive user interface and access to all of your favorite Android applications from the Google Play™ market.
The Galaxy Camera is a perfect fit for those who wish to shoot, edit and share brilliant photographs and video easily and quickly without connecting to a laptop or PC. The Galaxy Camera features a 4.8-inch HD Super Clear LCD screen, boasts a 21x optical zoom lens and a super-bright 16MP BSI CMOS sensor for shooting high-quality images close up and in low light conditions. This device is powered by a quad-core 1 GHz processor for quick and responsive performance ensuring you can capture the shots you want. It also includes powerful features like Smart Pro Mode technology, which allows you to toggle through a series of pre-set options that simplify the processes for taking professional-level images.
"Wirelessly enabling Samsung's Galaxy Camera will create a significant shift in how consumers share and communicate with photos and videos," said Chris Penrose, senior vice president, AT&T Emerging Devices. "By posting instantly to social networking sites or sending directly to another device, the person behind the lens is essentially offering family and friends the opportunity to share in the moments as they are actually experiencing them. We're excited that the AT&T wireless network will help enable these opportunities."
"Once again, Samsung has defined a new category of mobile devices and AT&T is leading the way to bring this device to consumers. The Galaxy Camera brings together Samsung's latest innovations in mobile and optical imaging technologies to provide the first connected camera running on the latest Android platform," said Dale Sohn, President of Samsung Telecommunications America.
In addition to being able to share to social networks and cloud services on the go, consumers can harness the speed and connectivity of AT&T's wireless network to share images and videos between Galaxy Camera and a range of Galaxy™ devices including the Galaxy S® III and Galaxy Note® II.
The Galaxy Camera is designed with several of the key content sharing features first introduced with the Galaxy S III including:
AllShare® Play

The School of Sport and Exercise Science (SES) has a long and distinguished history of preparing individuals to assume leadership roles in sport and physical activity settings.
SES is concerned with the many aspects of human movement and its application to sport management, physical activity, and the quality of life. Within SES students have the opportunity to study in one of several focused areas of human movement including physiological and biomechanical aspects of exercise, psychological and sociological aspects of physical activity, traditional and outdoor physical education, as well as the marketing and management of sport. Our degree programs prepare students to compete successfully for careers in the allied health industries, public school systems, and sport management positions. The University of Northern Colorado prides itself on being Colorado's flagship institution for the preparation of Physical Education teachers.
- Sept. 24th Schulze Speaker Series - UNC will be hosting a Sept. 24th 1:30-5:30pm speaker series at UNC entitled, "Active Kids Do Better". Download the event flyer (PDF). The topic coincides nicely with the launch of our new MAT program (www.uncactiveschools.com). Door prizes and 4 continuing education hours also available! Educators, school administrators, community health and education organizations, and wellness policy personnel welcome. Please RSVP at: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c4da9a92fa5f58-schulze
- Dr. Megan Babkes Stellino "championed" and supported the receipt of three separate $1000 Active Schools Acceleration Grant Awards for three Colorado elementary schools to implement new school-based physical activity programs. The funds will support the implementation of a before-school physical activity program (BOKS – Building Our Kids Success) at two schools (Rolling Hills Elementary School in Aurora, CO and Billie Martinez Elementary School in Greeley, CO) and 100mile Club at one school (Denver Christian Schools in Denver, CO). These programs are aimed at increasing children's physical activity during the school day in order to positively impact various cognitive, behavioral and health related outcomes. Funds were competitively awarded as only 1,000 schools received these grants across the entire US.
- Dr. David Hydock, Assistant Professor of Sport and Exercise Science, has been awarded an American Cancer Society Mentored Research Scholar Grant. It is a three year grant in the amount of $421,218. The project, titled "Doxorubicin Treatment and Skeletal Muscle Function: Effects of Exercise", will examine the effects of exercise training on skeletal muscle dysfunction and fatigue commonly associated with the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin.


text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer Senior power forward Alex Johnston turned touches into points and his 10-point, third quarter barrage led the Plainsmen to an 80-65 win over the Sedgwick Cougars last Thursday night in Grant. Johnston took body contact and turned it into four made free throws and slid down the left baseline for a right-hand layup to blast Perkins County to a 47-36 lead just after halftime. Johnston led all players in the game with 20 points. Plainsmen center Blake Poppe finished a nice pass from Caleb Breazeale and even rolled down a jumper in the fourth quarter to finish an impressive night with 14 points. Tim Johnson scooped an errant pass for a breakaway layup and hooked in a shot from mid-lane for six points in the third quarter and a 59-38 Plainsmen lead in the third quarter. Tyler Woodhams and Kolby Stordenbecker stroked three pointers in the third for most of what kept their Cougars competitive in a 22-10 Perkins County onslaught in the third quarter. The fluid Stordenbecker and sharpshooter Woodhams both finished with 16 points. The Cougars scratched back into contention before halftime, cutting four points off of Perkins County's lead with triples from Stordenbecker and Chase Dunker. Stordenbecker also swished a four-foot shot after spinning in mid-air with his back to the basket. Swing forward Jake Sexson drove hard, drew calls and pumped in four of six consecutive free throws in the second quarter to keep Perkins County's halftime lead at five points. Elliot Carlson stole two passes in the first quarter and motored both to the basket, completing an "and one" on the second to give the Plainsmen a 21-10 first quarter lead. Carlson also swished from beyond the arc in the first period and piled up 12 points. Blake Poppe made the Cougars pay in the post immediately, muscling up three shots in a row and for the Plainsmen's first six points, spurring Sedgwick County into timeout to strategize to stop Poppe's success. Accurate shooting allowed Sedgwick County to remain competitive in the first quarter, with Chase Dunker and Tyler Woodhams counting "threes," Woodhams pulled the Cougars out of a double-digit deficit with a three-pointer to end the first quarter.S.C. 65, P.C. 80Sedgwick Co. 22 14 10 19—65Perkins Co. 31 10 22 17—80 Scoring leaders–Perkins County: Johnston 7FG 6/8FT–20; Poppe 6 2/4–14; Carlson 3 (1[x3]) 3/5–12; Sexson 1 6/6–8; Johnson 4 0/2–8; Hite 2 (1)–7; Sedgwick County: Stordenbecker, K. 5 (2) 0/2–16; Woodhams 4 (2) 2/2–16; Dunker, Chase 3 (2) 2/2–14.

Chebarkul - Chelyabinsk Meteorite Videos
Posted 21 February 2013 - 04:29 PM
My selection criteria are :
1) must be original, unedited footage with few/no cuts or mods.
2) no compilations or "best of" videos.
3) no soundtracks or silly distracting music.
4) preferably has sound to hear the explosions, or if no sound, then a good clear view of the bolide/trail.
I will be posting these videos today and tonight as I finish going through them. Here are some I have selected so far with notes for each.
Chebarkul Video #1 - http://www.youtube.c...h?v=inPclE7RwFY
This one does not clearly show the bolide or trail at first. What it does show is the viewpoint of a man holding a video camera as he reacts to the explosions. He is standing under a large wall of glass panes and many of them shatter while he is taping. He ducks to avoid the falling glass and keeps taping the entire time. He then runs down the street to record the aftermath and confusion. He then tapes the bolide trail in the sky. This is one of the best examples of the event that I have screened so far out of many dozens of videos. It meets almost all of the stated criteria in spades.
Chebarkul Video #2 - http://www.youtube.c...h?v=iCawTYPtehk
This video only shows the bolide and does not record the explosions. However, it provides a very clear view of the fireball as it travels the entire length of the sky. The viewpoint is a dashboard camera in a car sitting at a traffic light. Very good vantage point and a much better quality video than most of the other dashboard cams I have seen so far.
Chebarkul Video #3 - http://www.youtube.c...h?v=b0cRHsApzt8
This is a short but sweet video, so to speak. It is less than 20 seconds. It shows someone who walked outside to film the bolide trail in the sky. The person holding the camera is then startled by the first explosion, which is very loud. Shaken, the person continues to film, until the second explosion is heard - at which point, the person becomes freaked out, runs for cover, and shuts off the camera. This one lets you hear the first two fragmentation events very clearly and you get to experience the surprise and panic of the camera-person, albeit briefly.
Chebarkul Video #4 - http://www.youtube.c...h?v=efvP-RRuJuA
This video I call "poor poopie" - because there is a startled dog involved. This one is a surveillance camera overlooking (downwards) a parking lot outside an apartment building. There is a few minutes of boring mundane footage showing pedestrians walking through or milling about. Just before the 01-25 mark (1 minute, 25 seconds), a small dog wanders into the frame with a man. While watching the bolide trail in the sky, the first explosion happens. What is interesting is how nonplussed the people are in reaction to this sudden unexpected explosion. It hardly startles the people, but the dog is clearly scared. Then, the second explosion happens and the dog gets spooked again. Afterwards, there are a few boring minutes of the people gawking around and dog appears to be OK. I selected this one because - the novelty of the dog and how it reacts in relation to the people and because it shows how casual the Russians are when presented with sudden loud explosions - apparently, it's nothing to get too excited about when the sky explodes without warning. LOL. If you don't want to get bored with this one, focus around the 1-minute and 25-second mark.
Chebarkul Video #5 - http://www.youtube.c...h?v=b7mLUIDGqmw
This video is part 2 of a 5-part video. This part meets almost all of the selection criteria. You see and hear the explosions, the immediate reaction, and the confusion afterwards. You get a good feel for the confusion and chaos afterwards. Keep in mind, it is BELOW ZERO TEMPS outside during this event, and people run outside without coats, gloves, or other clothing. They run about, gawk, and discuss what just happened. If any of my friends can translate some of the Russian dialogue in this video, I would greatly appreciate it. What are they saying exactly? Do they think it was an attack? A meteor? A bomb?
Chebarkul Video #6 - http://www.youtube.c...h?v=-9HkE2RztYY
This video is short, but interesting. It appears to be shot from inside a hotel room or apartment. There is a man and a woman, and one of them is standing next to the window, looking outside at the bolide trail in the sky. Suddenly, the first sonic boom rocks the room and the woman lets out a blood-curdling scream in surprise. I selected this video because it is one of the few examples of a Russian citizen reacting strongly to the explosion. In most videos, the average citizen appears very stoic and nonchalant about the blast.
I still have several dozen more videos to comb through and will post some more at a later time.

Chebarkul Video #7 - REMOVED.
Chebarkul Video #8 - http://www.youtube.c...h?v=Mp-CMWGQ9ag
This video is short, but clearly allows you to hear the initial blast and then several subsequent bangs/pops that may be more fragmentation events. It also shows a building as an upper-floor window is blown out and a cloud of debris pours out from the shattered opening.

Posted 21 February 2013 - 06:30 PM
Do not prejudice it based on incidentals like music, or being part of collection, or being a dashboard cam, as long as it provides good/excellent or unique images of the actual entry event.
Posted 21 February 2013 - 06:37 PM
Two more videos :
Chebarkul Video #7 - http://www.youtube.c...h?v=NqClUPJQJMU
(NOTE - I received some feedback from an expert, and this particular video may be a fake or a different event. He raises some serious concerns about the authenticity. So take this one with a grain of salt until confirmed or denied.)
I think it is a fake also. It is showing an event which (if it is even real) is much slower and longer lasting than the real one, with no brilliant light like the real bolide. It could be a rocket launch.

One the videos in Mikes post made me doing some analysis of the fragments. I think there's at least 6 larger fragments.
Link to video 200% size, cropped, with fragment pointers – 109mb.
Link to gif animation 200% size, cropped, with fragment pointers – 8.5mb.
Link to video filtered analysis, shows very nicely the two larger/brightest fragments. 123 mb.

Lars - great analysis work!
Have you considered posting these to the Meteorite Central mailing list? I am sure there are many there who would find your work interesting and useful.

Here is a fun link (but hard to understand) 37 minute compilation video in Russian. Interestingly, at around the 26-28 minute mark, the video shows some large(!) masses that were recovered but not widely reported in the media.
There is also some great footage of the shockwave damage.

Thanks Larry!
Here is a fun link (but hard to understand) 37 minute compilation video in Russian. Interestingly, at around the 26-28 minute mark, the video shows some large(!) masses that were recovered but not widely reported in the media.
Here is a report about a 1 kg fragment recovered:
This event is going to tremendously advance knowledge of these large asteroid explosions - we have (it seems) a near perfect model of the Tunguska Event in reduced scale recorded in abundant detail. A lot the speculation about Tunguska was made in a vacuum of ignorance (especially in the era before detailed computer simulation) during the 20th Century; this should put nearly all of it to rest.
Interestingly it was only last May that there were reports of detection of a possible fragment of Tunguska in Lake Cheko near the explosion site, which itself has only been determined to be a likely candidate fragment impact point in the last few years.
Mark Boslough at Sandia National Laboratory who did this study of Tunguska:
in 2008 has already announced he is modelling the Chebarkul Event.
In general it seems that recent modelling has shown that large stony meteors are very efficient at vaporizing themselves in the explosion fireball - the larger they are they more efficient they are. Ironically it seems, the larger the stony meteor above some threshold, the smaller the recoverable fragment weight.
(Boslough's simulations suggest to me that Lake Cheko might actually be the terminal point of the remnant hydrodynamic jet, rather than a fragment impact.)

Here is the latest bulletin to the IAU about the orbit and trajectory of this body (complete with tons of numbers) -

Prepared using the Tamkin Foundation Computer Network
Jiri Borovicka, Pavel Spurny, and Lukas Shrbeny, Astronomical Institute
of the Academy of Sciences, Ondrejov, Czech Republic, report that they have
computed the atmospheric trajectory and velocity of the superbolide of 2013
Feb. 15.139 UT (3h20m UT), which caused some damage in the city of
Chelyabinsk, Russia. They used seven casual video records provisionally
calibrated with Google Maps tools. The trajectory was assumed to be linear.
The geographical coordinates of selected points along the trajectory are as
tabulated below:
Relative Longitude Latitude Height Velocity Notes
Time (s) (deg E) (deg N) (km) (km/s)
0.00 64.266 54.508 91.83 17.5 beginning of
9.18 61.913 54.788 41.02 17.5 minor flare

16.20 60.606 54.922 14.94 4.3 end of
The observed trajectory was 254 km long. The azimuth of the trajectory was
279.5 degrees, and the slope was 16.5 degrees to the horizontal (for the end
point). The uncertainty of the radiant is about one degree. The uncertainty
of the position of the trajectory is about 1 km (at the beginning, up to 4
The pre-entry object that caused the superbolide was relatively fragile.
Severe fragmentation started at a height of 32 km under dynamic pressure of 4
MPa. The mass of the largest fragment, which landed in the lake Chebarkul,
was estimated to be 200-500 kg. One or two meteorites of the mass of several
tens of kg can be expected not far from the village Travniki. One piece of
mass approximately 1 kg may have landed to the northwest of Shchapino.
Numerous small fragments can be expected in the wide band located about 5 km
south of the trajectory, mostly between longitudes 60.9 and 61.35 degrees.
The blast wave, which strongly affected Chelyabinsk, was generated
between heights of 25 and 30 km. The radiant and heliocentric orbit were
calculated to be as follows:
Apparent radiant: Right ascension 328.6 +/- 1.0 deg
(equinox 2000.0) Declination +8.0 +/- 1.0 deg
Velocity 17.5 +/- 0.5 km/s
Geocentric radiant: Right ascension 334.7 +/- 1.2 deg
Declination -1.0 +/- 1.4 deg
Velocity 13.2 +/- 0.7 km/s
Orbit: a = 1.55 +/- 0.07 AU e = 0.50 +/- 0.02
q = 0.768 +/- 0.011 AU Q = 2.33 +/- 0.14 AU
(equinox 2000.0) Peri. = 109.7 +/- 1.8 deg Node = 326.41 deg
i = 3.6 +/- 0.7 deg
The data do not allow determination of the initial mass of the object prior
to entering the atmosphere. The trajectory will be further refined in the
future, provided that proper in situ calibrations of the videos are made.

With increased media exposure comes increased liability. The scammers, nuts, and profiteers have been crawling out the woodworks to take advantage of newbies and gullible bidders.
A lot of people have become interested in meteorites lately, and many of them are doing it for the wrong reasons - money, to get attention, vanity, etc. I get a ton of scam emails every week that I delete immediately.
Meteorites have their own TV show now. Meteorites are being mentioned or shown more frequently in numerous documentary films and series on cable TV. Meteorite falls are now YouTube sensations and the media exaggerates every sensational aspect of the event, while paying token lip service to the science involved.
Now we have this Chelyabinsk event that is a modern-day Tunguska on a smaller scale. Tunguska happened just after the turn of the 20th century and it took 20 years for the first teams to reach the area and search. This new impact captured world attention within hours and coincided with the near pass of asteroid 2012 DA14. This was a perfect storm for a media blitz.
Worse, the Chelyabinsk area is a former military industrial complex with numerous secret sites where nuclear weapons were manufactured during the Cold War. Military bases are littered around the region and this event struck the area without any warning and showed how vulnerable we (and the Russians) are to this kind of threat. The Russians don't like feeling vulnerable to anything, and their military is now keenly interested in this event. It's no surprise that the Duma is now getting involved.
But, like all reactionary laws of this nature, the law is being passed after the fact. This means that all specimens that left the country before the law are not bound by it. Many such specimens have already left Russia and are in private hands as we speak. However, the majority of the stones are still inside the country, and if Russia tightly restricts them, it will greatly reduce the amount that comes out later. And that will drive up the demand and price for legal specimens (the grand-fathered ones).
This is technically-true for Canyon Diablos and Campo del Cielos. It is currently illegal to prospect for and recover either one of these meteorites. Yet there are still thousands of them on the market legally.
I'll try to keep everyone updated.
Best regards,

Guess I'm going to be able to get to the range Tuesday and try my new .257 Wby. I am going to take my chrono and see what It will do with some factory stuff that came with it before I load up some reloads. I'll have something to compare my stuff to. I need to see how I like the scope too. It came with a Leupold VXIII 3x10 50mm. It has the duplex reticle, which is not my favorite. Might have to send it back to Leupold to install a Leupold Dot, which is all I shoot. This is my first 50mm, as everything elso I shoot is a 40mm.
I will also take my ML with me to try out the new Thor bullets I just got.

When candidates for local public office ask for your vote, they are essentially agreeing to be a public representative of the community, if elected. In return, they have an obligation to be accessible to the people they represent. That goes for everyone from mayors and town supervisors to county legislators and village trustees.
It also goes for school board members.
The largest chunk of the local tax bill is the school tax. If anyone should be accessible and accountable for spending those dollars, it should be school board members.
Locally, school board members like Kristina Hameister hold up their end of that bargain. She's a public face of education in Little Falls, fielding questions on the phone at home, by email and out in the community. It's a responsibility she accepted when she was elected to the public position.
Not all school board members are as easily accessible as Hameister. Some districts offer board members' emails and phone numbers on their websites; others ask that inquiries go through the district office.
School board members are considered public figures, but there is no law that requires or regulates their accessibility, according to the state Committee on Open Government. So legally, accessibility can be limited.
But morally and ethically, it shouldn't be. If you want to sit on your school board, be accountable. Make yourself easily accessible to district taxpayers.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- 2012 is already 9 days old. Do you have your new calendar yet? If you're still looking, how about one that features our best buddies and also supports women facing breast and gynecological cancers?
Critters For The Cure is has a 2012 calendar you may want to pick up. Clancy Kress started Critters For the Cure. It celebrates the power of critters to help people who're facing a life threatening illness.
"There's a lot of research that said if you have a pet, you live longer. It lowers your blood pressure. Just petting your dog lowers your heart rate," said Kress.
It was the unconditional love of Bo's buddy, the Dalmation Triton, that got Trixie Bradfield through the constant changes in her breast cancer diagnosis and treatments.
"I had friends, family around me, but there's still something---whether they're at your feet, I was alone and frightened. They're still there," shared Trixie Bradfield.
Proceeds from the calendar sales will help under insured women or uninsured women handle what Clancy Kress calls "the unspoken side of cancer": the side that deals with the financial aftershocks.
Kress told us, "You shouldn't be in a situation where you have to choose ...do I get a prescription or chemo? You need both. We try to make sure you don't have to choose. You get both."
All of the women featured in this year's calendar are breast cancer survivors. But Critters For the Cure also supports women battling GYN related cancers. In addition, Critters offers Job Training assistance and helps women who can no longer care for their pets while they recover.

Prepping Fiberglass Parts for PaintWritten by on January 27, 2014 Contributors: Rob Fortier Bedtime For Bondo®
I've got to admit, working with fiberglass doesn't top my list of favorite autobody repair chores – especially in an environment that's as hot as it is here in Southern California. I always feel as though I'd been mugged by an irate itching powder salesman by the time my forays into 'glass repairs are barely completed. But, luckily the majority of fiberglass bodies and accessories are top-quality these days and don't require much in the way of major reworking like they did years ago. However, there are still times when they need a bit of extra prep work to make 'em perfect.
Speaking of making things perfect, a recent trip to Uncle Bitchin's shop offered me and my pal Rob Fortier (the only one with a camera at the time) a textbook case in point. Butch "Uncle Bitchin" Lynch just happened to be in the process of massaging a couple of huge 'glass Cameo bedsides. In Butch's opinion anyway, the panel's bodylines were good, but not perfect – and with Butch, things have to be done perfectly or not at all. That said, we hung out to watch and learn how a professional goes about transforming good 'glass to perfect 'glass.

Valve Spring Installation - The Rights Of Spring TimeWritten by on December 1, 2000 Valve Spring Installation: Beyond Just Bunging 'EM In
The valvespring appears to be no more complicated than the spring that swings your screen door shut behind you. Granted, the concept is pretty simple, but in the context of the engine's valvetrain, you'd better pay attention to the valvesprings' fine points or they'll bite you a lot harder than that screen door smacking your backside.
Getting Sprung
Starting at the beginning, the spring selection has to match the application. This means that the spring's rate and installed load has to be matched to that required by the chosen camshaft. A light valvetrain or lower rpm will reduce the spring requirement, while a heavyweight valvetrain or more rpm will require more spring with the same camshaft. What we're after here is the spring's ability to control the motion of the valve and its actuation mechanism, while not overdoing the spring load to the point that the life of the camshaft and lifters is unduly compromised. You have to strike a balance. Unless you've garnered a wealth of experience in selecting valvesprings through trial and error, it's best to consult the camshaft manufacturers' recommendations, either through their catalog or on their tech line if you're running an unusual combination or have special requirements.
The minimum information you will need is the installed height at which the springs will be run, and the camshaft and valvetrain components used. For stock or mildly modified engines, most manufacturers have already done the homework. They have specifications on the stock installed height and a recommended spring to suit a given cam. If your engine's been modified with longer valves, different retainers, or machined spring seats on the heads, etc., these changes have to be taken into account when the spring selection is made. A valvespring micrometer makes checking the installed height easy and precise.
Commonly, street performance springs with cams of just over .500-inch lift will be a single spring with a flat wound metal damper. The factory used this type of spring in performance applications. The spring with damper is commonly mistaken for a dual valve spring, but it isn't. The damper works as a friction brake, helping to control spring surge through the friction between the main spring and damper. As spring requirements increase, more load is needed. There are only two ways to do it within the constraints of a given working height: Use a thicker spring wire or a higher quality material. Thicker means heavier, which causes problems in valvesprings, since one of the main masses the spring has to control at high rpm is its own. Further, the thicker the wire, the less clearance to coil bind, meaning that you can only go so thick before you preclude the use of high cam lifts; ironically, the main reason we need a thicker spring in the first place. Trick springs are available in high-tech materials, which can provide a higher spring load from the same wire diameter as a conventional spring, but the most common and economical approach is to go with a dual or even triple valve spring.
Dual valve springs simply add another smaller diameter spring within the outer, typically with a surge damper in between. Triples, once popular in very fast classes of drag racing, add a third, smaller, spring inside the second. With multiple springs, special retainers are matched which have register steps to properly locate each of the springs as installed. Multiple spring assemblies have a much smaller I.D. than a single spring, requiring the spring seat in the head to be machined to match. Also, since conventional umbrella-type valve stem seals don't fit within the tighter confines of the multiple spring, the guide boss is typically machined to .500 inch or .530 inch to take the more compact positive P/C-type Teflon seal.
Note, however, that P/C-type Teflon seals may be too efficient at scraping oil on the exhaust side, which never sees the engine vacuum that tends to draw in oil past the seal. For this reason, the seal is often left off on the exhaust guide, primarily to minimize the risk of running the exhaust stem too dry and seizing the valve under high load. The penalty is a puff of smoke at start-up.
Related to the valvesprings is the retainer-to-guide clearance. With modest valve lifts this is not an issue, but with high lift, the retainer can actually crash into the top of the guide boss, or at least squash the valve stem seal. When you're in the range of lifts where this becomes an issue, you'll probably be machining the guide boss and spring seat for a dual spring and positive seal. Check for retainer clearance by installing a valve with a checking spring, then rig a dial indicator to determine how far open the valve can be pushed before the retainer makes contact. Mopar Performance recommends a minimum clearance of .050 inch. Make an allowance for the thickness of the stem seal used, as they will take up a portion of the clearance space. The guide boss can easily be shortened by most machine shops when the related machining is done for dual springs or positive valve seals.
Measure Up
Getting a handle on the installed height is easy during the assembly phase of the heads. Use a height micrometer, which gives a highly accurate reading. The machine work on the valves and seats must be completed first, since this will affect the final position of the valve. The other components can also alter the installed height, so the check should be made with the retainers and keepers that will be used in the finished engine. In fact, the original steel Mopar retainers themselves typically vary by .015-.020 inches as measured where they sit from the highest to the lowest, depending on minute variations of the factory machining.
This variation is not highly critical in mild applications, but in more demanding applications, it doesn't hurt to check each retainer and select a consistent set-if you've got a bin of the stockers to choose from. Generally, quality aftermarket retainers are more accurate, but there's no guarantee that every valve seat was machined to exactly the same height, or even that the factory spring seats are consistent in height. Also, the measured installed height will generally grow .010-.020 inch after the engine is run, as the keepers wedge up tighter to the valve stem and retainer. This is more the case with stock-angle 7-degree retainers and locks, and less of an issue with aftermarket 10-degree locks such as Comp Cam's Super Locks and matching 10-degree retainers.
The tolerances can stack up against you if the installed height is checked on only one of the valves. Say one valve seat is machined slightly lower, adding .010 inch, a spring seat dug a little deeper at the factory adding .015 inch, and a looser retainer adding another .010 inch. Now let's say the one spring you checked was at 1.875 inches instead of the recommended 1.850 inches, and you figure that's close enough. That one unlucky valvespring could well be installed .060 inch too high going in, and may be as much as .080 inch off by the time the keepers wedge-up in running. That's enough to cost serious spring load. If the springs are on the marginal side, it can add up to a difficult-to-diagnose problem, even though you'd swear the installed height was checked.
Tightening up the installed height is easy with shims under the springs, but remember to get shims that match the outside diameter required by the spring, and have an inside diameter which securely registers with the machined boss surrounding the valve guide. Mopar Performance has an assortment of shims available for production-machined Mopar engines, while aftermarket companies such as Competition Cams carry spring shims with IDs to match custom machined spring seats. If more installed height is required, special retainers as well as keepers are available which add .050 inch or .100 inch to the installed height, but clearance to the rocker may become a problem with some parts combinations. To a small degree, the spring seat on the head may also be machined to gain installed height, but the factory discourages the practice, as thinning the material in this part of the head may cause reliability problems.
Getting measurements of the installed height is just sound engine-building practice, and isn't difficult to do even if the engine is already assembled in the car. Minimally, a dial caliper can be used with the spring still in place. Measure from the top of the retainer down to the machined flat area of the spring seat, or shim, if they've been installed. Subtract the thickness of the retainer (usually .100 inch for stock Mopar steel retainers), and you have the installed height. This will get you in the ballpark and is useful for diagnosing a valvespring problem and discovering if the installed height is way off. A more accurate check involves removing the spring and then checking the installed height with a valve spring micrometer. To remove the valvespring, run a compressed-air line into the cylinder (rockers removed) to hold the valves shut, then use an on-the-car spring compressor such as those available from Competition Cams to remove the spring. Now the height mic can be installed, and the installed height verified and corrected with shims if required.
How's That Rate?
Now we know how to check the installed height, but what spring load do we have? Check the manufacturer's catalog, which usually lists the spring load at the installed height and a second value with the spring compressed, typically another .500 inch. This is useful when comparing springs from various manufacturers. Competition Cams goes one step further in their catalog, with tables listing the spring loads at increments of .050 inch. Their tables are accurate when compared to our tests of a number of their springs. These tables provide valuable information to the engine builder who's considering how varying the installed height will affect the seat load. They're also useful for zeroing in on what the true load will be at maximum lift, or to use the jargon, "over the nose."
While the catalog info is useful in selecting a spring to work with a given installed height, once the springs are in hand, it pays to verify the published load. This is done with a spring tester. Though the professional Rimac spring testers are kind of expensive for the enthusiast, most performance machine shops have spring testing equipment and can quickly give you numbers on your spring. It's most important to know the load at the installed height, the over the nose load, and the height at which the spring reaches coil bind. Diehard do-it-yourselfers can get good results from lower-cost hydraulic pressure gauge-type testers, which work in conjunction with a vice or press.
Testing springs becomes even more important with used, bargain basement, or swap meet springs of unknown origin. Again, the most important three things we need to find out are the seat load (at the installed height), the over the nose load, and the coil-bind height. Compare these specs with those the cam manufacturer recommends for your camshaft and rpm range to determine if the spring will work.
A good example is a 360 engine we built on a shoestring budget. The installed height ended up at 1.750 inches, while the unidentified springs were installed without making any load check. The engine carried a moderate hydraulic street cam and the stock valvetrain. The engine revved freely to 6200 rpm without any noticeable hijinx from the valves, but when we switched to stronger but heavier aftermarket roller rockers, the valves floated at 5700 rpm. It would have been easy to blame the rockers, but some investigation revealed that the springs were designed to provide 100 pounds of seat load at 1.650 inches. At the actual installed height of 1.750 inches, the load was only about 70 pounds. It was amazing that the engine pulled the rpm it did, and shows just how good the stock Mopar valvetrain is at high rpm. But the problem wasn't the rockers, it was the springs.
Bound Up And Hog Tied
Of all the checks done on a set of springs, perhaps none is as critical as checking for coil-bind clearance. Coil bind occurs when the spring is compressed to the point that the coils stack up solid and won't squeeze down anymore. If the cam's still trying to push them further down, it ain't gonna happen-something is going to give. If you're lucky, the valvetrain will fail immediately, piercing a pushrod through the rocker cup or bending all 16 pushrods. Most likely, though, the camshaft will be instantly destroyed. Sorry, dude, it's teardown time; the cam and lifters are junk.
Avoiding coil bind is easy enough, it just takes a little ciphering. Most manufacturers list the coil-bind height of all of the springs they sell. If you don't know what the springs, compress it in a vice or arbor press and measure the coil-bind height directly. Say we have 1.2 inches when the coils are stacked up solid. That's the coil-bind height. We will already know the installed height. Let's say it's a 440 with an installed height measured at 1.850 inches. Take the lift at the valve (which can be measured directly with a dial indicator or known from the cam specs and rocker ratio) and subtract it from the installed height. Let's say in this example we have a roller cam with .555-inch lift. The installed height of 1.850 inches minus the lift at the valve of .555 inch gives us 1.295 inches, the height of the spring at full lift. But we still have .095 inch left to coil bind-the height of the spring at full lift minus the coil bind height (1.295 minus 1.200 equals .095 inch). The minimum clearance depends on who you ask: Competition Cams recommends a minimum coil bind clearance of .060 inch, while Mopar Performance calls for a more conservative .100 inch. In our example, with .095 inch, we feel safe.
Now let's say we change from a set of 1.5:1 rockers to a set of aftermarket 1.6:1 rockers. Theoretical lift goes up to .592 inch, and coil bind clearance goes down to .058 inch; way below what Mopar Performance considers safe, and even slightly below Comp's minimum. We're cutting it close here-maybe too close. The lift number was derived mathematically by the ratio change, but it's the real lift at the valve that's important. Just because the rockers are rated at 1.6:1 doesn't necessarily make it so. It's common for aftermarket high-ratio rockers to deliver more, sometimes substantially more, than their rated ratio. Let's say we dusted off our dial indicator, and with the valvetrain set up found the rocker actually delivered .625 inch at the valve. Now our coil bind clearance is down to .025 inch, too tight by almost anyone's standard, and we've got problems. If the installed height of the spring was 1.3 inches, anything above .55O-inch lift would stack the spring up solid, and instant destruction would result. Make the checks, do the math, select the right spring at the required height, and stay out of trouble.

Competition Cams and others sell these nifty valvespring height micrometers that cover most valvespring installed height ranges.At the bottom we have a typical single spring with damper, actually a factory 440 Magnum piece. This is not to be confused with a dual spring, above, which carries another true inner spring in addition to the main spring, and usually a damper.Matched components are a key to reliability. A dual spring like this Comp #929 takes a special retainer to positively locate the inner spring. Shown is a Comp #721 lightweight titanium retainer, which is machined to properly locate this spring. The retainer works with Comp's Super Locks, a 10-degree system which gives a very consistent installed height.If dual springs are required, the spring seat will need to he machined to turn down the original center register boss. Here the boss is machined flush with the original spring seat.Another consideration with dual springs is that there's no room for an OE-type umbrella seal. The tops of the guides need to be machined for a positive P/C-type seal, commonly available in .500- and.530-inch inside diameters.This is one of our 440 engines on the dyno. With a 280 degree hydraulic cam, we ran a Teflon seal on the intake and an umbrella-type on the exhaust. The .030 inch over engine made 485hp on pump gas with ported iron smog heads and this small cam. Changing to a streetable 280/286 Comp Xtreme Energy solid roller meant the springs would have to be swapped from the singles to duals. The spring seats were already machined. There was no more room for the umbrella seal on the exhaust, so these were pulled off. With the solid roller, the engine made 530hp on pump gas with a pair of ported 452 heads.It pays to measure each individual valve, due to variations in parts and machining. Mark each piece and make sure it is installed in the same position it was measured in. This is especially important with the inconsistent factory steel retainers, such as these on a 360.Adjusting the installed height downward is easily done with shims. Besides increasing spring load, shims subtract coil bind clearance. The shim must be correctly sized for the spring as well as the inner register diameter of the spring seat.
A big box of used swap meet springs, like these snagged at the Spring Fling car show for 25 cents each, becomes way more valuable once tested to find the load at various installed heights.The ultimate rig for sorting out valvesprings, this computerized spring tester from Power Technology figures out everything you'd want to know about a spring with one pull of the handle, delivering two pages packed with info.With aftermarket rockers, or with high-lift cams, always make a physical check of the true lift at the valve when figuring coil bind clearance. Often the theoretical lift with a given rocker ratio can vary considerably from the true ratio. These 1.6:1 rockers delivered way more lift than their ratio promised.

Fixing the dam
Dam repairs halt fishing for Pittsburg's Scotts Bog
PITTSBURG — Burnham "Bing" Judd isn't fishing for Eastern brook trout this year in Scotts Bog. Nor will anyone else.
Judd, who's been everything from Pittsburg's road agent, town selectman and a Coos County commissioner, to a North Country hunting and fishing guide, is about as close to a far north Granite State landmark himself as a person can be.
He'd rather pass his 80th summer — or at least part of it — in his canoe on Scotts Bog, as usual. That's where he once had a camp, and he's spent more summers than he can count probing the same waters that saw him land a three-pound brookie one season. That's still his personal best.
But the dam — on the body of water with a size estimated between 75 and 98 acres — is failing and won't last much longer, state officials say.
The pond's water will be drawn down, Scotts won't be stocked with fingerlings for a change, and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Dam Bureau staff expects to have a crew repair the concrete dam by fall.
"They worked on it a little bit last year," Cathy McComiskey, secretary for the Pittsburg selectmen, said Saturday. There hasn't been much discussion among residents regarding the relatively small project, she said.
"It's kind of far. It's up above Second Lake in the north portion of town," she said.
Judd said Saturday the spot is indeed a popular fishing site for those who know it, including himself, and he'd rather it was stocked and remained open this summer. If there was some runoff as a result of a leaky dam, that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world either, he added.
"The hell of it is, Second Lake would catch it," he said of the excess water.
Last week, DES officials issued a public notice.
"Anglers should note that all fish stocking for this pond has been cancelled for this season. Stocking activities at Scotts Bog will be re-initiated next year, following the completion of the dam reconstruction project," the release stated.
Judd estimated it was 15 years ago that the state previously deemed the dam to be failing there, and added concrete to what was then a wooden structure to bolster it.
Carol Henderson, a Department of Environmental Services coordinator, said Friday it had been at least that long since the state started stocking the pond with young trout.
"They've started drawing down already," Judd observed. He said fishermen would just have no choice but to come back next spring.
