Gloria was huge and clean at Sandy Hook. Not sure about it being 15 foot but probably the biggest cleanest surf I had ever seen up there to date.

Thread: RIP Tony Soprano

yeah I was wondering how you knew those guys being from down south. but talent wise Malta could of been the best the north east ever saw. pound for pound he had more talent than Gleason or Hammer to name a few from Jerz. Twas a sad day amongst us when he passed.
the Hoppers were a previous generation and those guys were up there with Malta. If there was a surf industry back then like now, all three of those guys would have been something.
me? i'm really a nobody and only he locs know and respect me.but I kinda like it like that. man I miss the 90's. a dead surf industry, no photogs no cell phones. I remember driving around knocking on friends doors just looking for someone to surf with on those big winter days. I did get 'Hero Shot' in ESM back in like 2001 though.
Jun 23, 2013, 07:52 PM #53
I always thought those two would make it big. It took Kelly slater and that generation forward, then there was a whole apparatus set up to market people. There were these little guys, known only by the few people who surfed that absolutely ripped, and ripped with style. They never got anywhere with surfing other than what it should always have been, be a personal thing. Something they did for themselves, a few friends and the younger up and coming guys who watched and learned. After all these years I'm still not as good as I remember them being when they were 16 years old. It's funny I always thought they were from Aberdeen or somewhere up near Hazlet. Did they move away from Long Branch eventually, with their mom or something? Maybe my memory is all wrong.

Heard a very good interview on CBC radio coming back from the coast just recently, ( between LB, mat, and SUP wave gear, scored twice a day, so pretty stooooked...) their word was JG embodied the blue collar man and all that comes with it SO well, that many think he's at the Brando/ DeNiro/ Pacino level and ALL doubt anyone can accomplish that full on feel going forward. They mentioned a bunch of flicks that I've heard of but not seen. Early departsh 4 sure. And yes, we all want to see ourselves embodied by an actor that in some way that gives insight or defines/explains our daily. JG was heavy and made me want to watch..

So you of all people believe what the media says? The coroner said he had no alcohol in his system even though it's a better story that he was drinking excessively... He was heavy, but not morbidly obese (contrary to a lot of media reports).
By all accounts of people that actually knew him he tried be a lot healthier the last 10 years.
Can't believe everything you see on TV... I know you know that

BIG BULDGE: Dude, shut the F up with your "the trolls are off-topic again." Man, shut it. Aren't trolls those people who just cruise and start problems just for the hell of it? Well, that didn't happen here. Anybody who uses the word "troll" to refer to dudes on a computer, and not a mythological creature who hangs around bridges is a huge dork. A dork.
Zippy: Actually, I mentioned the Hoopers first on here. I want the credit, you SOB. It means alot to me. Please post something correcting your error. You dawgs are praising them Hooper dudes, but I could have sworn that I didn't think they were that good at 1988-89 ESA contests. And their letters to surf mags were kind of gay(as in happy). Justin Citta was the best surfer in the world.
Archy: I'm a find you out, ya hear me boy.
And again Big Bulge, you shut it, ya hear. Talking aboot trolls on a James Gandolfini thread........how can you go off-topic on a James Gandolfini thread? And it's completely ridiculous that NJ's flags are at half-mast today for this dude. Wow, a fat, Italian, New Jersey guy played a fat, Italian, New Jersey mob dude. What a strectch. Don't get me wrong I liked the show, but good lord. The Wire is better, and y'all know it, and ain't nobody going to cry over Omar.

Fla. Tax Execs Get Prison for Fraud, ID Theft
Published: Sunday, April 20, 2014 at 8:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 20, 2014 at 8:45 a.m.
FORT LAUDERDALE | Former executives at a Broward County tax preparation firm have been sentenced to federal prison for their roles in a $2 million tax fraud and identity theft operation.
A federal judge on Friday sentenced 29-year-old Camilla Gonzalez to more than eight years in prison. Co-defendant Patricia Alcime, also 29, got nearly eight years behind bars. They were president and vice president at Luxury Tax Inc.
Court documents show that the pair filed more than 700 fraudulent tax returns in 2011 using personal information from identity theft victims. The refunds were paid into accounts controlled by Gonzalez and Alcime or loaded onto debit cards.
They were also ordered to pay $1.8 million in restitution to the U.S. government and forfeit more than $500,000 in their bank accounts.

10 Essential Items for DIY Waterfowl Hunts
By John Pollman
If you are planning a do-it-yourself
waterfowl hunting
trip this fall, packing the right
can make the difference between a successful adventure and a dismal failure. Here are 10 often-overlooked items that you shouldn't leave home without.
1. Handheld GPS:
A satellite-aided navigation device on the dash of your pickup truck is invaluable when driving in unfamiliar country. Better yet, a handheld GPS unit will allow you to mark the exact spot where flocks of hungry mallards are feeding in an Alberta pea field. Using a GPS while scouting unfamiliar territory helps eliminate confusion early in the morning, when even a few lost minutes can mean missed hunting opportunities.
2. Plat Map:
Many state and county agencies publish plat maps that identify property lines, landowner names, and their contact information. An online search will help you find these maps, which can be invaluable for securing permission to hunt private land in sparsely populated areas.
3. Garden Tools:
One of the best things about freelance waterfowl hunting is being able to move with the birds each day based on their roosting and feeding patterns. But changing locations on a daily basis also means hunters must find new ways to hide each morning. That's why
hunter Mark Smith always brings a pair of pruning shears and a rake along on his waterfowling adventures. "Pruning shears can be used to cut willows or other cover for a makeshift blind," Smith says. "And a rake is especially helpful when trying to conceal a layout blind in crop stubble. One guy can use the rake to create a pile of chaff, stalks, or leaves while the others stuff the blinds. It's a huge time saver."
4. Walking Boots:
If you plan to do any serious walking, you'll need to bring along comfortable footwear. This is especially true for chasing upland birds, whether it's Huns and sharp-tailed grouse in Saskatchewan or pheasants in the Dakotas. If the waterfowl hunting is particularly slow, a rooster pheasant erupting from a stand of switchgrass may be just what the doctor ordered.
5. Tow Strap:
While you may not need it, pack a tow strap or chain in your vehicle before you hit the road. When your truck is mired in a muddy two-track in the middle of nowhere, you'll be glad you did.
6. Scouting Vehicle:
Scouting is essential on any freelance hunting trip, but miles of driving in a gas-guzzling SUV can eat up a travel budget pretty quickly. Champion caller Field Hudnall (
) suggests using a smaller, more fuel-efficient set of wheels for scouting. "Instead of scouting in a big diesel truck that gets 12 miles to the gallon, borrow or even rent a small economy car to scout in. You'll save money in the long run," Hudnall says. "One year we spent 21 days in Canada, and our primary scouting car was a small, purple hatchback. Embarrassing? Not when we were getting 25 to 30 miles per gallon!"
In wide-open country like the prairies, freelance waterfowlers often have to transport decoys, blinds, and other gear long distances from their vehicle to
hunting areas
. Having an ATV to carry hunters and gear will make all the difference when the birds are using spots far off the road.
8. Small Boat/Sled:
A small car-top boat can be invaluable for crossing sloughs and retrieving downed birds in deeper potholes, while a sled will ease the pain of carrying heavy bags of decoys on your back across muddy fields. Both of these items take up a lot of space, so you might be tempted to leave them behind, but you'll almost always be glad you brought them along.
9. Thank-You Notes:
Knocking on doors and receiving permission to hunt on private land is still possible in some places, and rural landowners can be some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet. "It's always a good idea to stop by a landowner's home after a hunt to say thanks, even if the birds didn't materialize that morning," says
South Dakota
waterfowler Ben Fujan. "If they're not home, I'll leave a simple thank-you card with my contact information on it. Chances are they'll remember that the next time you stop around."
10. Traveling Kitchen:
What a better way is there to cap off a day of waterfowl hunting than preparing a meal with the morning's harvest? If you've got room, throw a small charcoal grill in with your gear, or ask your place of lodging if there are cooking facilities available. Bring along a large plastic container filled with assorted pots, pans, plates, utensils and spices. And don't worry about presentation—your hunting partners won't notice. They'll be too busy eating, telling stories, and discussing plans for next year's trip!

Water is getting more critical every year."

Brendan Shanahan was supposed to usher in a new era of justice, but as the season has moved along, it has proven to be the same as it ever was.
When the NHL replaced chief disciplinarian Colin Campbell with Brendan Shanahan last spring and gave him the reassuring title of senior vice-president, player safety, I really wanted to believe things were going to change.

It's been a year to remember with plenty of eye-opening moments. Here's a handful of them, ranked into convenient top fives for your reading pleasure!
The end of the calendar year always brings with it the temptation to write best-of type lists and this year I'm offering no defense when facing that temptation.

After hopping on Washington's wagon in the summer, this writer thinks a new team has taken charge of the NHL.
When The Hockey News editorial team gathered last summer and picked the Washington Capitals as our choice for this season's Stanley Cup winner, I was fully on board with the selection.

Instead of going back to the old coaching well, teams in search of help should explore the Marlies coach as an option.
Seventeen years ago, the Quebec Nordiques, a year away from becoming the Colorado Avalanche, had a tough decision to make. The organization, which was chock-full of emerging young stars, had just fired veteran coach Pierre Page and very easily could have replaced him with any number of experienced bench bosses.

Before the lockout, rookies and sophomores faced reasonable expectations. Now they enter the pro ranks with unprecedented security.
When the Sedin twins arrived in the NHL in 2000, they were hailed as the future of Vancouver's Stanley Cup hopes. However, it took many years, many more defeats and countless stalls and sideway lurches for them to ascend to the pinnacle of the hockey world (and even then, they and their teammates fell one game short of a championship last season).

When you have the coaching resume the new Ducks boss has, it doesn't usually take long to find another job.
In approximately 67 hours, Bruce Boudreau went from being a dead duck in Washington to the head Duck in Anaheim. Boudreau's transition from team-to-team is the quickest in NHL history and proves that if you do solid work behind a bench in the league and haven't been riding the coaching carousel for decades, some team will be in sufficiently dire straights to snap you up quickly enough.

Stanley Cup hopes are heavy in Washington and recent struggles meant something had to give. That something was Bruce Boudreau.
Alex Ovechkin made a commercial last year that involved his disconnected head in various locations, including the top of a high school gym locker and the inside of a bowling ball bag.

The players' union recently sent doctors to speak to all 30 NHL teams about the seriousness of concussions and the importance of reporting them.
While it's debatable whether hockey is doing enough to pin down and overcome the scourge of concussions, you can't say the NHL Players' Association isn't doing more to bring NHLers up to speed on the dangers of head injuries.

While Quebec City and a few other places have been mentioned in relocation talk, Hartford is an under-the-radar market.
If the NHL can return a franchise to Winnipeg – and be poised to bring one back to les gens merveilleux of Quebec City – is a return to another former World Hockey Association city possible? In the cases of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Houston, Indianapolis, Baltimore, San Diego, Birmingham and San Francisco, probably not.
by Adam Proteau - November 15, 2011 5:35 PM UTC
A lot of talking is done at the GM meetings, but nothing ever seems to happen.
A typical NHL GM meeting takes place in the beige, nondescript conference room bubble of an airport hotel. And the typical result of the six or seven hours of discussions on current issues usually feels just as artificial.

It's become clear after another horrific start that it's time for the Blue Jackets and Rick Nash to part ways.
In professional sports parlance, trade requests made by athletes are the equivalent of Marie Antoinette's "let them eat cake" dismissal of her royal subjects.

It's been debated for the past year, but if the Flames don't blow it up now, it'll be a tougher road in the long run.
I hope you're sitting down, because the following sentence may blow out your kneecaps as well as your mind: It's time to blow up the Calgary Flames.

The city of Medford cannot legally withhold from the public how much it paid Medford Fire-Rescue Chief Dave Bierwiler as part of an agreement they used to fire him in April, Jackson County's district attorney ruled today.
Beth Heckert ordered the city to disclose financial and other information from the termination agreement that it previously denied the Mail Tribune. The paper had appealed the city's decision to Heckert last month.
In a letter to Heckert, City Attorney John Huttl argued the city had the right to deny public disclosure of four parts of the termination agreement because disclosing would be an unreasonable invasion of Bierwiler's privacy and because both parties agreed to a confidentiality clause.
In her two-page opinion, Heckert first ruled that revealing the city's payouts to Bierwiler was not an unreasonable invasion of his privacy.
"The public does have a legitimate interest to see how Chief Dave Bierwiler was compensated," Heckert wrote.
She also ruled that a non-disclosure clause City Manager Eric Swanson and Bierwiler signed as part of that agreement does not qualify as an exemption under the Oregon Public Records Act.
If the city were allowed to use the exemption in this case, "any time the City didn't want information disclosed, it could be agreed upon to include a confidential clause," Heckert wrote.
The city has seven days to turn over a complete copy of the termination agreement or appeal Heckert's ruling in Jackson County Circuit Court.
Huttl and Swanson did not return telephone calls seeking comment this afternoon.
Bierwiler said that he does not consider the release of the financial terms of the agreement to be an unreasonable invasion of his privacy.
"I don't have a problem with the public knowing how their money is spent," Bierwiler said. "It's their money."

text: Hello everyone, I'm new but I think this site is just what I need! I have been very overweight for years now and have become a recluse, I've no friends left, I don't go anywhere and I'm invisible to my family. A few weeks ago I decided that something needed to change. It was after the usual Christmas nightmare, you know, when you have to go to social gatherings and anything you wear looks ridiculous and everyone is so glad to see you because whatever they look like, they know that you will look worse which, of course makes them feel wonderful! My husband stopped 'seeing' me years ago. He has a very active social life and never takes me anywhere. He has become so complacent knowing I will always stay at home to look after the kids (all grown up now) do the cooking/shopping/housework/washing etc.etc. and have his meal ready when he decides to come home. He travels abroad a lot, never thinking for one minute to leave any contact details, it's as if I only exist as his skivvy. I'm ready for change. No-one knows I'm losing weight but I don't care, something feels different, it feels like I've just woken up from a nightmare. I'm into my third week now and I'm hoping that by writing a diary here (not a food diary-just a thoughts diary) it will keep me motivated. Am I really the only person in the world that feels so invisible??:gen157:

Advocate, Staff Work to Help Scammed Seniors at Polk Seniors Vs. Crime
Published: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 11:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 11:50 p.m.
LAKELAND | Dick Fearnow patiently jotted notes on a recent morning as an 88-year-old man's son described how his father had spent thousands on a new home air-conditioning system.
Richard Dean "Dick" Fearnow
Age: 77
Family: His late wife, Carolyne Fearnow, who died in April 2011; daughter, Kim Burns, who lives in Tennessee.
Education: Graduated from Phillips University, in Enid, Okla. Double majored in chemistry and biology.
Employment: Polk Seniors Vs. Crime volunteer office manager.
Exercise: Enjoys biking from his home to Lake Hollingsworth, where he bikes and in-line skates. Avid water skier.
Recently Read: "Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back" by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent.
Church: Attends Bethany Christian Church in Lakeland.
Polk Seniors Vs. Crime has two offices. The Lakeland office, at 1045 Wedgewood Estates Blvd., is open Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It can be reached at 863-577-1672.
The Haines City office, at 35400 U.S. 27, is open Monday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It can be reached at 863-419-3701.
The son thought contractors had duped his father, who has dementia, into the purchase.
Fearnow took the report at the Haines City Police Department, but he doesn't have a badge. From a small office at the agency, and another in Lakeland, he manages Polk Seniors Vs. Crime. Older consumers who think a business has wronged them — misdeeds that might not, at least initially, appear criminal — seek out Fearnow and his staff of volunteers.
Sometimes his program is their last chance for help. Helmed by Fearnow, a lean and energetic 77-year-old, the staff works to recover money consumers have lost, often through shoddy or unneeded contract work, and prevents them from paying out even more.
Some might assume Fearnow began the intensive volunteer work after a long law enforcement career. But by the time he started the police academy, he was on Medicare.
Fearnow, born in 1935 to a florist and mail carrier, spent his childhood in Oklahoma City. He had an interest in science, and tested his parents' patience with big questions. They'd flip through an old encyclopedia to find the answers.
With dreams of becoming a doctor, Fearnow enrolled at Phillips University, a former Christian college in Enid, Okla., an hour drive from home. He majored in chemistry and biology, he said, but didn't have the grades for medical school.
Instead, he embarked on a 29-year career in the pharmaceutical industry. Working in prescription sales brought him to a job in Polk County.
By the time he retired in 1996, Fearnow, then 60, began considering a second career. He took classes in biochemistry, genetics and cell biology at the University of South Florida, readying for a possible job at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. He saw himself analyzing DNA and fingerprints, helping to solve crimes.
But FDLE turned down his application.
Undeterred, he found other avenues to participate in law enforcement. He volunteered as a Lakeland Police Department victim advocate and completed its civilian academy. After a close look at police work, and some encouragement from LPD, Fearnow thought: I could become an officer.
Fearnow wasn't sure if he would hear back from the Kenneth C. Thompson Institute of Public Safety at Polk State College. He thought he might be too old to join. But one morning in 2001, about a month after applying, the school called. Was he still interested in attending?
At 65, he was nearly 20 years older than the second-oldest in his class.
"We see all types of age ranges," said Capt. William Mann, the academy's director. "It's not uncommon for us to get someone who is 50-plus."
Fearnow kept up with classmates. The hardest but most enjoyable part of the academy for Fearnow was learning defensive tactics — how to react if someone grabs you from behind or wrestles you to the ground.
He thought it might give him an edge facing down suspects.
Fearnow landed back at LPD in June 2002 as a part-time reserve officer.
As he made his way through the department's field training, putting in 40 hours a week into learning the job, his age began to show. His shoulder radio crackled at a frequency he had trouble hearing.
During a handcuff exercise with another officer, Fearnow realized his reaction time had slowed. The officer pretended to resist arrest, he said, spinning his body around and coming face to face with Fearnow. Fearnow thought it might be a mistake to be alone on the street.
"If I was out on the street," he remembers thinking, "I'd be done for."
After only five months with the department, Fearnow resigned.
Fearnow left the department in November 2002 and applied for volunteer work with the Polk County Sheriff's Office. He also attended a community meeting organized by the Attorney General's Office, which was seeking to open a Lakeland office of its statewide Seniors Vs. Crime program.
The Attorney General's Office appointed him to head the program, and soon a branch in Haines City, in 2004. He said he thinks his law enforcement experience, meager at the time, helped land him the position.
Fearnow regularly speaks to new recruits at the Sheriff's Office and Lakeland Police Department about his program.
"He shows his passion when he talks to people," said Capt. John Thomason, an LPD spokesman.
More than half the cases the program works are successful in getting people's money back or canceling an unwanted contract, Fearnow said. Since the program started, it's helped people recover, or kept them from paying, a total of about $700,000.
"It's a program we embrace," Sheriff Grady Judd said. "Our retiree and senior populations continue to increase, and we know there are folks that want to prey on senior citizens. His duties grow as the population ages."
Fearnow's age helps him perform.
"There's a lot of life experience I make use of," he said, "things where if I was 25 and in this position I'd be at a disadvantage."
The position has shown Fearnow just how vulnerable older adults are to unscrupulous contractors.
To keep from becoming a victim, his advises never to do business with anyone who arrives at your doorstep unbidden. And don't allow salespeople to force you into a quick decision on a big purchase.
"Don't surrender your decision-making to the salesmen," he said.
Some cases his office has worked have led to criminal investigations, specifically those that show signs of exploitation.
He told that to the man and his 88-year-old father who bought a new air conditioning system. With carbon paper receipts and documents spread across the table, he finished writing up the report in fine, neat print.
Without making promises about where it might lead, he told them, "I'm pretty excited about this case."

SAN FRANCISCO -- Just like that, backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick was in the game Sunday.
He had about 10 seconds to find his helmet. He did. He had about a minute and a half to warm up his arm. He did.
So you could say that Kaepernick accomplished his first two tasks Sunday quite successfully.
After that, things got a little more difficult.
"Obviously, there's a lot of room for improvement," Kaepernick said, "and a lot of things I would like to do differently."
But the 49ers did learn something Sunday about Kaepernick after he was forced to take over the team's offense following starter Alex Smith's concussion in the second quarter of the very bizarro 24-24 tie against the St. Louis Rams.
Here is what the 49ers learned: Kaepernick can perform adequately if he has to see sustained action. He can keep the team in games. He can put them in position to win.
Yet here is the broader lesson we all learned: At heart, the 49ers are still not a quarterback-driven team. They are a defense-and-Frank-Gore driven team.
Just look at what happened when Smith went down and Kaepernick took over with the 49ers trailing 14-7. The people most responsible for what happened after that were the defenders (who allowed way too many yards to the Rams but made enough key stops to give the offense a chance) and Gore (who made several key runs in the fourth quarter, including a scoop-up of a Kaepernick fumble for a 12-yard gain).
And when the 49ers seemed ready to win on David Akers' 41-yard field-goal attempt in overtime, the people responsible were the defenders (who forced a Rams punt to set up the 49ers with good field position) and Gore (who carried the ball on four of the team's first seven offensive plays after the punt). But of course, Akers missed the kick.
So did Kaepernick matter at all? Absolutely. The quarterback always matters some. And as Smith has improved under coach Jim Harbaugh, the quarterback has mattered more. But if the 49ers must deal with an extended Smith absence, his loss won't be felt as much as it will with some teams.
This is why, when Harbaugh was asked after the game if Smith's absence had been the difference between winning and losing, Harbaugh paused a beat and said: "I wouldn't put it on any one thing."
Tight end Vernon Davis probably had it correct. He gave Kaepernick a B-plus for the afternoon.
"He was on it, cued it up, was focused," Davis said. "He's very dedicated to his craft."
But not perfect, of course. On Kaepernick's first drive, which lasted six plays, he failed to complete his only pass attempt and scrambled away on two other called throws. On his second drive, he went three-and-out. Then it was halftime.
"It did take me a little while to get into the flow of the game," Kaepernick said.
Even so, the third quarter was not much better. Kaepernick seemed far too eager to run the ball than wait for receivers to come open. But in the final period, Kaepernick finally began showing more patience and moxie. The experience gained in the Harbaugh spot-duty role this season began to show.
To wit: On Kaepernick's final three offensive drives in regulation, he completed 8 of 9 passes and ran for 38 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown in which he dived for the end zone pylon.
"Everything that was in the game plan," said Harbaugh, "he was good with, comfortable with and could execute. There was no uptight-ness or tenseness. He was very good."
The Rams certainly respected the way Kaepernick stepped into a tough spot -- and especially the way he put his body at risk on those scrambles.
"I knew he was very athletic," said St. Louis linebacker James Laurinaitis. "When you play against athletic quarterbacks, they have opportunities to scramble and improvise. It can get a little hairy at times. The kid did a good job."
It says something about Kaepernick's maturity, though, that the most impressive play he made was probably on his only incomplete pass of the fourth quarter. With the 49ers out of timeouts at the Rams' 15-yard line, Kaepernick saw slot receiver Kyle Williams open on the right side about 5 yards downfield -- but also saw that Williams had his path to both the end zone and sideline blocked. And so Kaepernick purposely powered the ball toward Williams' feet.
"That was kind of an all-or-nothing play," Kaepernick said. "We got a bad look. So you just throw it away."
Why? Because if the pass had been completed and Williams had been tackled in bounds, the game would have ended and Akers would not have kicked his tying field goal. Being an NFL quarterback takes mental sharpness as well as toughness.
Smith's availability for next Monday night's home game against Chicago will remain up in the air as the 49ers follow league protocol on concussion recovery. However, Kaepernick said Smith's condition didn't appear serious.
"He seems all right," Kaepernick said. "Obviously a little shaken up. But he seems OK."
With Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler also suffering a concussion Sunday, it is possible that neither team's starter will play next Monday. If that happens, Kaepernick should still give the 49ers a chance to win. That might be Sunday's biggest takeaway. If you want to count that as a 49ers win instead of a tie, you can.

Start Date: Dec 08, 2011
End Date: Dec 07, 2016
Objective 1: We will evaluate the ability of a multi-sensor platform (ER, EMI, gamma-ray spectrometry) coupled to RTK-GPS to characterize the spatial distribution of texture, water content, salinity, and sodicity. Statistical analysis will be performed by determining correlation coefficients between sensor measurements and soil properties followed by a more extensive analysis using spatial regression models. Linear model-based statistical tests will be used to assess the adequacy and precision of the regression equations derived from the single and multi-sensor directed sampling strategies. Objective 2: a) We will examine the effects of a high dissolved organic carbon (DOC) treated municipal waste water on infiltration. We will next examine the effects of DOC and its interaction with SAR and pH on infiltration clay flocculation and saturated hydraulic conductivity on soils selected with a range in properties to develop new soil stability relationships. b) Plant relative yield functions will be developed and incorporated into UNSATCHEM model. c) We will develop a new B soil test for adsorbed and soluble B. d) Treated municipal waste waters will be measured for DOC, EC, pH and major ion composition, next utilized in boron adsorption experiments, and the boron adsorption as related to DOC described using a chemical surface complexation model. We will also investigate B desorption on soils having varying amounts of organic matter and examine B adsorption-desorption reaction on hysteretic soils after organic matter removal. If needed, we will develop a predictive model relating hysteresis to organic matter content. Objective 3: a) An intensive geospatial ECa survey will be used to delineate stream tubes in each of the two fields at a site with different quality irrigation water. Geospatial ECa measurements will be obtained with the multiplatform sensors from Objective 1. Eight classes of stream tubes will be identified using the EMh/EMv ratio and geometric mean of EMh and EMv as the classification criteria. Within each of 16 sub-classes a stream tube will be selected and 4 random sites within the tube will be selected for parameterization. Irrigation frequency, volumes of water applied and infiltration rates will be measured, soil samples collected and analyzed for EC and ion composition. b) We will evaluate changes in soil physical and chemical properties due to differences in irrigation water quality.

SANTA CLARA -- Mario Manningham paused from his own injury rehabilitation Thursday to rally 49ers teammates in the wake of Michael Crabtree's Achilles tear.
"It's sad to see somebody get hurt that's a great value to our team," Manningham told SiriusXM NFL Radio, "but the next person has to step up, man. We all know injuries are a part of the game."
Manningham sustained a season-ending left knee injury Dec. 23 at Seattle, and he's been constantly rehabilitating from that anterior cruciate ligament tear.
"I have started and running cutting and doing little things," Manningham said. "When you have knee injuries, you can't really take any time off. Every time I think about it, I'm trying to do something with my knee. I'm not rushing it but I am going hard on my knee."
Manningham, the 49ers' second-leading receiver last year, is not expected to be ready for the start of training camp in two months. The 49ers open defense of their NFC title Sept. 8 against the Green Bay Packers at Candlestick Park.
Rather than announce a timetable for his return, Manningham said: "Whenever God wants me to come out and play, then when I'm 100 (percent), that's when I'm going to go out there."
Crabtree is likely out for at least the next five months. The 49ers are currently without three of their top four receivers, with only Anquan Boldin fully healthy while Crabtree, Manningham and Kyle Williams (knee) rehabilitate their injuries.
"Just having a guy like Crab and knowing he's a leader on the offense and makes a lot of big plays for us, it sucks," 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman said on ESPN's "NFL32." "Like Mario says, guys are going to have to step up, and we have that type of team."
Manningham joined the 49ers a year ago after winning the Super Bowl with the New York Giants, and he finished last season with 42 receptions for 449 yards and one touchdown.
Good and bad days have accompanied Manningham's rehabilitation, but he's inspired by the eventual thought of catching passes from Colin Kaepernick, whose breakthrough last season wasn't a surprise to Manningham.
"Oh yeah, you could see it in practice, how he throws, how athletic he is," Manningham said. "When he runs the ball, it's like he's a punt returner, trying to get through the holes and not be touched. He adds a different thing than Alex Smith did, and I feel he's going to get better."

Moncure Nelson Lyon Jr., a retired colonel of the United States Air Force, died Saturday, Sept. 29, 2012, at his home in Blue Ridge Summit, Pa., surrounded by family, friends and his beloved dog, Spud. Moncure "Monty" Lyon was born in Hamilton Va., Sept. 17, 1916, to Moncure Nelson Lyon and Constance Bentley Lyon, and was raised at Black Oak Farm outside of Purcellville, Va. Moncure attended Virginia Military Institute and joined the Maryland 110th Field Artillery where he volunteered for flight school. Monty requested overseas assignment and was sent to China where the Chinese-American Composite Wing (Provisional) was formed. While with the CACW Monty piloted B25s and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, Bronze Star and Legion of Merit. Monty's love of flying kept him in the Air Force until his retirement in 1973.
Apart from his decorated military career, Monty was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He was known for his sharp wit, infectious sense of humor, love of gardening, ikebana, cooking and extremely creative pranks. Monty was married to Edwina (Tot) Gonzalez in August 1947.

Help gather critical information to protect leopards and monkeys under threat in South Africa.
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
Study the perceptions and reality of human versus wildlife conflict in the mountains of South Africa while living side-by-side with leopards, monkeys, and other mammals under growing threat.
Across Africa, conflict between humans and animals is rising due to increased habitat fragmentation resulting from human activities. Nevertheless, the magnificent Soutpansberg Mountains of South Africa support one of the highest leopard densities in Africa. Although these beautiful cats remain elusive, their abundance brings them into contact and conflict with humans. Similarly, monkeys (which include baboons) thrive within the mountains, but their adaptable nature and willingness to exploit cultivated crops brings them into conflict with farmers.
Help researchers understand the ecology of these charismatic species, as well as the factors that drive and mitigate conflict between humans and wildlife. Despite the leopard's bad reputation, primates are often cited as a major pest species by many landowners. Since some of these primates are critical prey species for leopards, studying these animals at the same time is important for understanding how their populations interact with each other and with the human population.
Economic losses for farmers undermine local conservation efforts. Determining the extent of these conflicts and examining ways for farmers and these primates to coexist is essential for conserving both species diversity and local livelihoods in the area.
*Includes accommodations, food, and all related research costs.
12+ days - See all dates
Help provide the data that will create new ways to address negative perceptions about these animals in the surrounding human communities.
With your help, Earthwatch researchers will improve relations between local human communities and the flagship wildlife of the region.
Mountainous environments are becoming increasingly important as conservation refuges for many mammalian species in South Africa, especially in the face of growing pressures from farming and other commercial activities. These and other changes in the use of mountainous lands, along with government land reforms, pose heightened risks to the conservation potential of these regions. In addition, farmers and ranchers tend to think of leopards and brown hyenas as major killers of their livestock, even though data from this project have shown that livestock rarely features in the diets of these carnivores. Landowners even more commonly cite baboons as a major pest species.
You'll assist scientists conducting research in three critical areas: investigating the presence and diversity of important species, assessing the extent of human–wildlife conflict and investigating possible mitigation strategies, and increasing environmental awareness in local communities.
Farmers tend to think of leopards as major killers of their livestock.
By helping monitor the region's predator populations, you can help the scientists ensure that human activities don't put these populations at risk, and provide data that will help create new ways to address negative perceptions about these animals in the surrounding communities.
The Lajuma Research Centre is high in the Soutpansberg Mountain Range. The climate is temperate, with cool, dry winters and warm-to-hot, humid summers. Lajuma sits within the Soutpansberg mist-belt zone where intense mists at some times of the year increase the rainfall.
The Research Centre area is famous for its breathtaking mountain vistas, pristine wilderness, and diversity of plants and animals. The area boasts tremendous plant diversity, including a large number of endemic and rare species. All five South African primate species (chacma baboon, vervet monkey, samango monkey, and two species of nocturnal bushbaby) occur in abundance, along with antelope, mongoose, honey badger, caracal, brown hyena, and leopard. Crowned and Vereaux's eagles occur in the region, and the rare bat eagle, nerina trogon, and lanner falcon may also be spotted. Lajuma also boasts a range of interesting archaeological sites.
This is a summary:
Get to know the African wilds as you help:
In the evenings, you may work with the data (for example, by downloading the information collected by leopard and primate radio collars). You will also have a chance to learn from the researchers about the history and background of their work, the fascinating species they focus on, and the general state of conservation and human-wildlife conflict in South Africa.
Volunteers make sure camera traps are up and running.

I completely endorse what my team-mates Jan and Pam write here about Lajuma and the outstanding researchers and staff who helped make our stay so meaningful and joyous. (We also had a great team!). I will add new commentary here, mainly about the general environment and camp.
Cliffs, forests and thickets predominate, with some lovely patches of grassland, clear, rushing streams, and, in places, prehistoric paintings under rock overhangs. It is glorious to walk freely in the African bush, occasionally looking out over the plains below, or up to the sky where eagles and vultures soar. Spending time with habituated primates is simply magical. In addition, you may see animals such as bushbuck and red duiker, and quite a few birds.
The Research Camp is glorious, perched on a ledge overlooking the plains below. It is comfortable, simple and serene. A communal living/eating/lecture area opens to a garden centered about a campfire. Sleeping accommodations exceeded my expectations, and there is some single-room availability.
Admire the mists drifting over the mountain ridges as you step out at dawn. Sneak up on the nearby rock hyrax colony as they soak up the morning rays. Feel a rush of connection as a baboon sits down to contemplate you as he drifts through the camp. Stuff yourself with delicious food. Enjoy great company. Learn a lot.
My thanks to all at Lajuma and to my fellow team-mates. If you can go, I recommend joining this wonderful Expedition.

This was our first trip with Earthwatch. We plan to do many more given the outstanding nature of the first trip. The variety of research, quality of the scientists and interaction with students was great. The variety of work you assist with is amazing We walked/drove to camera traps to retrieve photo cards and then identified species captured on the pictures. We assisted students in vegetation surveys, washed and prepared scat samples, cleared away invasive species, removed snares and old fence, visited a school, and collected data on baboons and Samangos during their movements. In the evening, you learned about the research from the students and scientists at Lajuma. The hospitality accorded was outstanding, accommodations and food were fine (monkeys frequented our patio area). Katie and Sam are outstanding as your scientific hosts. We took a number of hikes with the group and learned a good deal about the fauna and flora of South Africa. Go on this trip if you have the chance. You will learn so much about the wildlife and how to help mitigate conflicts with man and what you can do to aid in this.

Having been a volunteer in campaigns, schools and other community settings, I know how one can feel useless if not deployed in meaningful work and/or without sufficient training. This Earthwatch expedition KNOWS HOW TO USE VOLUNTEERS EFFECTIVELY. The coordinators explained clearly both how and why to do each task. They engaged us in a variety of activities, each of which illuminated and contributed towards either biological knowledge or conservation. Moreover, they did so most of the time, so we had just enough (not too much, not too little) free time between tasks.
Biological tasks we did included camera trap maintenance, photo tagging, scat washing, and vegetation plot surveys. In most cases, we were offered a second chance to continue these activities if we liked them. For example, one camera trap was located rather farther away and in a hike-in only location. We were offered the choice to hike out and do more camera trap maintenance, or stay near camp and do more vegetation plot surveys. Once we knew how to do a task, the second time we felt more useful.
Conservation tasks we did included invasive plant removal, fence removal, and snare removal. The nightly lectures explained background information about animals, local people, and conservation efforts. We understood why we were asked to tramp through and around thorny bushes: to save leopards and native species.
The collaborative spirit of the researchers, their student assistants, and staff infected us.:)

The Lajuma Research Center is full of friendly, lovely people. You get such a sense of community and warmth when you meet everybody. They're incredibly willing to help you feel safe and at home, and they're all so knowledgeable about what they're researching.
I went with one of my best friends, and the two of us hadn't really traveled outside of the country prior to this trip. We went on a whim, and we both enjoyed the experience so much. The stories of what we went through and about the people we met are endless. Despite it being only two weeks, I actually felt a little bit sad to leave the staff remaining a Lajuma, as well as a few of the volunteers we had worked alongside for the whole trip.
The involvement they had us experience in preserving the animals was amazing. Although some of the tasks weren't always exciting, there was a sense of fulfillment in knowing that these were small stepping stones to helping the researchers help the animals, environment, and local community on a larger scale.
Not only do you work to help leopards and some of the native monkey species, you also do some tasks that can help brown hyenas and many other species of animals that they have on Lajuma.
I loved the trip. I felt like I learned so much about generally everything, and I feel much, much more enriched after having gone on this expedition. I would highly recommend it to people (seasoned travelers or new travelers like us). I will remember this experience forever. Thank you all!

Normandy Invasion gets visit from D-Day heroes
LOUISVILLE Nearly 69 years after storming the beaches of Normandy in France, four of the men who survived World War II and a lot more of life were given a dream trip to the Kentucky Derby.
"My wife and I used to hold Derby parties and we loved to watch the race together before she died," said Bill Wilch, 90, his voice cracking with emotion. But the former Army infantryman who served with the 29th Division gained his composure and added: "I've got her picture right here, and I just told her, we made it, we made it to the Derby. I know she's here."
On this day they gathered to visit with the horse that Fox Hill Farms owner Rick Porter named D-Day, Normandy Invasion, after he visited it for the 50th Anniversary.
Wilch was joined by Ohio's Ray Woods, 90, who served on the USS O'Brien as a radarman and earned five Battle Stars in the Pacific, Louisiana's JJ Witmeyer, a highly-decorated infantryman who rose to the rank of captain and has two Purple Heart medals and Alan Reeves, the San Diegan who served in the Supreme Command under Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and helped lead the invasion into Southern France. Wilch, Witmeyer and Reeves all earned the French Legion Merit badge, the equivalent to our Medal of Honor.
"If you want to see what it was really like on D-Day, watch the first 23 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan," Wilch said. "There's a scene where a soldier is running up the beach holding up one of his arms that got blown off. I didn't see that, but a friend of mine did."
It was an emotional morning at Barn 42 on the Churchill Downs backstretch, and it was set up by Rick Porter, owner of Kentucky Derby starter, Normandy Invasion, and his assistant, Victoria Keith. It was Keith who handled all the logistics of gathering four, 90-something guys for a road trip. Keith arranged flights, the hotel in Lexington, a shuttle van and seating at Churchill downs.
"Rick is the one who pushed to make it happen," Keith said. "We were thrilled to do this. It's our honor to have these American heroes here with us. I think Rick is as excited having the Veterans here as he is having a horse in the Kentucky Derby."
None of it likely would have gone down had it not been for Alan Reeves' curiosity about the name Normandy Invasion. Reeves wondered if someone from the D-Day invasion had purchased a horse. Why would anyone name a Kentucky Derby horse Normandy Invasion. He found Keith and Porter through Fox Hill Farms, and that's when Porter decided to invite D-Day survivors. A pupil of history and one who visited the site for a memorable experience, Porter wanted to honor the men who fought on that historic day, June 6, 1944 when 160,000 allied troops, 13,000 aircraft and 5,000 ships carried out an assault on Normandy, France beaches. Reeves went in after the invasion and served as a French interpreter.
"We can't tell you how much this means to us, thank-you, Rick," Reeves said.
Porter, who still gets emotional talking about what he saw when he visited Normandy for the 50th anniversary of D-Day, simply said: "It was the least we could do after what you men did for us."
Later, he said: "I hope this brings this back to young people so they can understand what these men did for our country. We wouldn't have America as we know it today if it weren't for these heroes and what they went through. To me, nothing would be better than to get to that Winner's Circle with Normandy Invasion. If we have to carry these guys down there, we will. I'm sure I'll have a lot of volunteers to help."
Porter said Craig Duchossois, Chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs, played a big role in getting the men to the Derby. He arranged for a table for eight on Millionaires' Row. Porter said Duchossois fought at Normandy after the invasion.

Hello all,
My QCAD (3.4.6 PRO) running on Windows 7 (SP1, 64 Bit, 4 GB RAM) crashes rather frequently. This mostly happens when I am moving large amounts of objects or even a few Hatches around in the drawing.
Is QCAD not meant for this stuff?
For example, in order to have the borders of structural objects shown above the hatches (which are used to color code them), I tried cut+pasting them so the draw order would be later and the lines would show on the hatch and not vice versa. Image linking did not work although there is a URL option above! If you care, it is on tinypic.com/r/14mx9pt/8
However simply 'cutting with reference' 448 entities (each of which is the same block) causes my QCAD to crash. And also crash so bad that it can't manage an Autosave or remember it crashed the last time when it restarts
Am I pushing my luck using this software or is there hope? The performance monitor I ran during the last crash showed I was on 50% Memory usage (but 112% frequency) if that helps.
Appreciate any help. Thank you, kind people.

Write a review for the Akasa Dual 2.5" SSD/HDD mounting module for 3.5" Bay, Black aluminium here!
Not Suitable for all cases
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 12/07/2011
I recently purchase a Momentus XT 2.5 Inch hard drive and was looking for an adatper to fit it in to a 3.5 inch cage in my Antec P180 Case. Having purchased AKASA components before and having always been very satisfied with them this was my initial choice. The quality of this bracket was no exception and it came with all the necessary screws. However when trying to install it, I found that it did not fit the HD Cage. The Antec P180 has very specific mounting positions for drives and this bracket was too short. The bracket is 114mm in length and the "3.5 inch" screw holes are 60mm apart. It could be the same for other custom/enthusiast cases. I will find a use for it in another build I am sure.

Looks great but does not fit
Reviewed by Hamish Dumbreck. Review Posted 13/04/2013
Like the other review I see for this item, the mounting holes do not match the holes for the standard IDE HDD bay. Also to note, that the large gap between the appature and the SSD would stress the SSD if the screws were to be tightened... Having looked for alternative solutions, I would recommend the DYNAMODE adaptor, made from plastic with flexibility to avoid stressing the SSD mounting positions. The point of having a chunky aluminium mounting to dissapate the heat is lost, A because an SSD does not generate a significant amount of heat, and B, without a good mounting contact surface, any heat would not be dissapated.

The Tor fell to Lord Swann while the Stormbreaker led a diversionary force to draw the Dornish into a trap at a village a night's march from the Tor. The tactic worked as the Dornish, who thought to launch a devastating night attack against the Stormlanders, were enveloped and destroyed. Only a few of the knights who joined the Speardancer returned to tell this tale of woe to Prince Rhodry.
Now the Stormbreaker has brought his men to the harborage of the Tor and behold the Velaryon knight, Oakenfist, has sent ships for rescue! For the last few days the Stormlanders have looted and pillaged this place - as is a soldier's wont after a long and treacherous march - and the Dornish have come upon them!
