Did the New Yorker go too far?Posted Monday, July 14, 2008, at 8:58 PM
So much for their INTENT. Needless to say, the whole idea has created a firestorm of controversy, has been called "tasteless and offensive" by the Obama camp, and even John McCain has called it offensive, as well.
David Remnick, editor-in-chief of the New Yorker, explained the magazine's rationale:
"The intent of the cover is to satirize the vicious and racist attacks and rumors and misconceptions about the Obamas that have been floating around in the blogosphere and are reflected in public opinion polls," Remnick says. "What we set out to do was to throw all these images together, which are all over the top and to shine a kind of harsh light on them, to satirize them. That's part of what we do."
However, satire is a tricky device. Many, many people take satire literally. About one out of 10 Americans continue to believe that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, is a Muslim, after all. For them, and for many other observers, there is no "satire" involved in this issue; they look at the cover and simply say, "So, we knew it all along!"
It's not as if Remnick was unaware of what might happen with this magazine cover:
"Satire always comes with some risk and the chance of people misunderstanding it, but if you're going to satirize things only that there's a 100% census on, there's no satire," he said. "There's maybe a certain percentage of the public that thinks there was no moon landing, should we not satirize that?"
Polls in some states show that a fifth of white Democrats will not vote for Obama simply on the basis of color. It would appear that the New Yorker may have inadvertantly added fuel to the fire.

Extreme view of Obama. The New Yorker is actually a liberal rag and is sarcastically saying this is how (hicktown folk like us here in the midwest probably) America views the Barrack Hussein Obamas. I don't know about the machine gun, the Bin Laden photo and the burning flag....but several of the subtle things on the cover are not so far fetched. Barrack Hussein Obama is growing on me...add in the Clintons and this is going to be one of the greatest Presidential teams we have had.

I found when I taught school that satire was usually misunderstood by my students. When we read Brave New World, I had to point out the satire - or they thought Huxley was seriously advocating that everybody be cloned - instead of warning against it. After they once got the hang of it, they could see the satire in the other novels we read, but it didn't usually come naturally.
I think the New Yorker seriously miscalculated this one. However, when you look back over some of their other covers, they can be pretty shocking.

Our country is way too soft. The fact that we get bent out of shape over little things like this is comical. It would have been funnier if they would have made him look like the second coming to JFK, b/c that is not what he is either.
-- Posted by layne staley on Mon, Jul 14, 2008, at 10:00 PM
I'm with you, gl. I think that they definitely did miscalculate this one...satirical: yes, but also a little too far. CNN can't stop talking about it; everyone is talking about it...which of course is what they want, but many view it as straight up slander. What do you guys think?
-- Posted by huxgirl28 on Mon, Jul 14, 2008, at 10:11 PM
I think it fits...we don't actually know these people, after all. Who's to say this isn't what they are behind closed doors?

Horse crap, they didn't go to far. Who cares? Who does offend? The answer should be nobody. Instead of people having skin as thick as a brick, everybody seems to have skin as thin as one-ply toilet paper. I get so tired of this it makes me want to PUKE! I realize this is a liberal rag, I understand what they are doing, I am not liberal, and I still don't care. But what if it wasn't a liberal rag? Hummmmm.

Well, yes, if the NY weren't known as a "liberal rag," and they printed such a cover, they'd be villified as a "hate group." Same outcome.
I believe they just fell off the "cutting edge."

Who would believe all this controversy when the magazine hasn't even hit the stands yet. Oh well. Personally, I love satire, but Ms Madeline is correct, it is often misunderstood. It's like walking on a tight-rope; one misstep and you're toast. The cartoon doesn't offend me because I recognize the satire and realize that it's making extreme fun of what the artist sees as a stupid misbelief. Still, if I had been the editor of the magazine I wouldn't have touched it.

In the interests of being fair and balanced, the following drawing at http://whatnowtoons.com is proposed as The New Yorker's next satirical cover. It shows McCain saluting in a Nazi uniform with a picture of Hitler on the wall and a U.S. flag burning in the fireplace. It is not as outrageous as The New Yorker cover of Obama and his wife -- because it doesn't include McCain's wife.

Political cartoons are freedom of speech and politics is part of the deal. And this blog of yours answers my last question on your previous blog about obama.
-- Posted by swift on Tue, Jul 15, 2008, at 4:44 PM
Madeline Dejournett's response:I saw where you asked me if I was going to do another political blog. I don't think so - unless one falls into my lap like the last two did. They were just too ridiculous to pass up. Somebody had to write about them - there was just no choice. I'd rather write about light, fluffy topics, but I'll take a walk on the wild side occasionally.
I can't believe I didn't notice this until just now! lol

FJBoy: Not sure what controversy Cindy McCain has been involved in which would make her worthy of satire on a mag. cover. Fill me in.
-- Posted by shannonhoon on Tue, Jul 15, 2008, at 5:39 PM
FJ, I thought you seriously meant that the NY had come out with another cover, but that site has cartoons of a different ilk. It's a spoof of the spoof...! That's pretty spoofy. (Oops, Reminds me of my kids' "Smurf" cartoons. "Hi, Papa Smurf! This is really smurfy, isn't it?")

hey what the hell lets be fare maybe dave remnick should do a little editorial about himself, a cartoon depicting him as a child molester, but guess what we know he's really not a child molester, right ?
that cartoon depicting obama and his wife as some kind of terrorist was horrible.

You can't expect comments made by Obama and his wife over the past year not to receive bad press. That goes for all people in the public eye. When someone says or does something off color the press gets ahold of it and pulls it in 1000 different directions and we all get a good laugh. Bush is the epitomy of satire and noone gets bent out of shape when he is made fun of(for good reason I know...)The only people that are going to take ANY stock in a cartoon like this one are the people that have a hard on for the Obamas anyway. It is not going to change the views of a person that has plans of voting for him or even someone that is entertaining the idea of voting for him. There are plenty of larger problems that need to be focused on, I say if you don't like it don't look at it!

Hoon, the New Yorker cover is serving as just one more distraction from the real campaign issue, which is that there might be a dime's worth of difference between McCain and Obama. Obama has come out in favor of retaining if not expanding several of GWB's domestic programs (e.g., No Child Left Behind and faith-based education), and he won't do anything to reduce the U.S.' international presence: His plan is basicly to move troops from Iraq to Afghanistan. Federal spending will continue to expand under either BO or JM. A real, but ignored campaign issue is that because of JM's health there is a very real possibility he wouldn't make it through a single term -- and since it can be expected for his VP to become President, his VP choice should be subjected to the same intense scrutiny as JM. The real Democratic choice -- Dennis Kucinich, and the real Republican choice -- Ron Paul, couldn't get national media face-time precisely because they would have upset the status quo.
-- Posted by FJGuy on Wed, Jul 16, 2008, at 12:44 PM
Or because they are both less than desireable by the general public who cast their vote for their choice.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Wed, Jul 16, 2008, at 2:52 PM
FJGuy - go tell JM's 94 year old mom about his "very real possiblity" of not making it through a term as prez. The guy hiked the Grand Canyon last year.
Kucinich is too far left to be a Democrat, but Paul is legit.
VP candidate for JM should be John Kasich. A fiscal conservative who helped balance the budget during the Clinton era. Can flat get it done.

FJBoy......Obama is just like GW.....screw him. What a piece of crap. GW tore down the World Trade Centers and wanted to go to war. Now he has raised the price of gas to make money for his oil friends. Obama is GW Bush all over.. Screw that. I am voting for McCain.

Monica will be my intern (Clinton had it going on folks!!!!!, what an American), Cliff Burton will be in charge of transportation, and Bon will be my Secretary of Killing off WalMart.
My name is Shannon Hoon, and I can't stand NObodies who run for a worthless political office and win because no one worth a crap is running against them and then, feeling they have the power and everyone loves them, think they are big stuff.

As my first move as Attorney General, I will work on the dogfighting problem that is running rampant across the country. And I will also go after steroids in baseball, because while our country should be highly concerned about terrorist militants, we need to stay the course on these very important issues that really don't matter a whole hell of a lot to the American people. Roger Clemens needs to pay people.
I'm layne staley and I like power.

Our party name has to reach out further. Jesus allowed everyone to follow Him; there were no boundaries which is one of the many reasons why Christianity has flourished. I say we go with the People's Party of Believers. Do you believe the sky is blue...you're in. Do you believe that water is wet...you're in. Do you believe Hoon should be the next POTUS...you're in.
Your Honor, I rest my case.

There you go, Layne! Good name for a party! Broad enough to include everybody whether we agree or not. Only problem is, I doubt that's going to happen any time soon.
By the way, have any of you seen that "Jesus For President" yard sign on Hwy 25 in Bloomfield? I like that! Where do you get one I wonder?

Unconventional approaches to mortality estimation
|Date received:

|Word count:
|adult mortality, developing countries, estimation, Human Mortality Database
Most developing countries do not have complete registration of deaths on which to base mortality estimates. Four broad categories of unconventional methods have been developed to provide mortality estimates in such settings.
The first consists of approaches for evaluation adjustment of incompletely recorded deaths by comparison with recorded age distributions. The second consists of alternative data collection methodologies collecting information about deaths by age. The third consists of approaches based on asking respondents about the survival or otherwise of close relatives. The fourth estimates mortality from changes in age distributions, interpreting cohort attrition as mortality.
Methods in the first two categories offer the greatest potential for contributing information on developing country mortality to the Human Mortality Database. Methods in the first category are illustrated here by application to data from the Republic of Korea for the second half of the 20th century. In populations with good age reporting and little net migration, these methods work well and offer the opportunity to include developing country data in the HMD.

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Winter Academy Gala Concert of the Afghanistan National Institute of Music (ANIM). Students ranging in age from 10 to 20 played Chopin and Ravel, as well as Afghan traditional songs and collaborative fusion pieces.
In a historic tour that began February 3, 2013, ANIM students are traveling in the United States to perform at venues ranging from the world-famous Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center to the headquarters of the World Bank and Fordham High School for the Arts. Even more impressive than where they are headed, though, is where they have come from.
To understand the history of the Afghanistan National Institute of Music is to understand the story of its founder, Dr. Ahmad Sarmast. While living as a refugee in Australia, he studied music at Monash University and became the first Afghan to hold a doctorate in music. In 2008, he returned to Afghanistan and began the hard work of building a music school in a country where the Taliban had repressed cultural expression.
"Historically, music has been a vibrant and important part of Afghan culture," he said at the opening of ANIM in 2010, "but war and neglect has left students without teachers, teachers without resources, and professional musicians without a context for their art." ANIM is Dr. Sarmast's way of bringing teachers, resources, and context to the youth of Afghanistan.
Driving through the streets of Kabul, one is surrounded by the cacophony of honking car horns, shouting street vendors, and the whistles of traffic police. The sounds on ANIM's tree-lined campus, however, are of a different sort: a bow being drawn across the strings of a violin, the soft plucking of a rubab, the first blast of a trumpet as a student warms up for his lesson.
The school highlights the strength in Afghanistan's diversity, admitting boys and girls regardless of their social circumstances or ethnic background. Many of the students are orphans or street children, whose families receive a small stipend from the school so that the children can attend classes instead of working as street vendors. Afghan master musicians of such complex instruments as the sitar, ghichak, and dhol teach alongside expats, who introduce students to the full range of piano, string, wind, and percussion instruments taught in the West.
The students also learn the standard Afghan secondary curriculum, graduating with a high school certificate or, after two additional years of study, a diploma in music. Helping these promising students make connections with the global community of musicians, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul funds English instruction for 140 students through the English Access Micro-scholarship Program, and also supports ANIM's Winter Academy, which unites guest artists from all over the world.
ANIM is both a source and a symbol of Afghanistan's progress, and is representative of Afghanistan's broader burgeoning music scene. Not all ANIM students limit their interests to the classical traditions of east and west, of course. Afghan rock band White Page is composed of ANIM students and recent graduates who sometimes switch their violins for electric guitars, and play their own music in addition to songs popular around the world.
The ANIM students traveling to the U.S. represent Afghanistan's potential. They work incredibly hard. They pay close attention to detail. They're very interested in learning about their own culture but also about other cultures, and I'm delighted they will be able to practice their English in the United States. It's often said that music is the universal language, and it's true that music speaks across cultures, distance, and time.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- It was not just another NFL Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Not for the home team, the away team or the fans.
In the aftermath of super-storm Sandy, nearly everyone was affected by the power outages and, in some cases, the destruction wrought upon their homes. Even the Pittsburgh Steelers, who were far from the battered coastline, were inconvenienced and had to fly in the morning of the game instead of a day prior.
In the end, the Steelers handled the adversity better than the New York Giants and came away with a 24-20 victory that propped up their feelings about the direction of their season but left the Giants despondent over their inability to give their fans a reason to smile at the end of an otherwise challenging week.
BOX SCORE: Steelers 24, Giants 20
"We wanted emotionally so badly to win the game for obvious reasons, for all our neighbors who are struggling and who need some type of inspiration. Of course, we didn't provide it for them," said Giants coach Tom Coughlin, who wore a hat with the state of New Jersey on it for the first half. "We didn't play well and we are going to have to get this straightened around, some way, some form here, quickly obviously. That was not the kind of game we had planned to play."
It was also not the kind of travel schedule the Steelers (5-3) would've preferred. But all things considered, they were willing to overcome some minor inconveniences.
"I saw a lot of NFL superstar millionaires sleeping on the floor pregame in the hotel (lobby) with rolled-up shirts as pillows," Steelers linebacker Larry Foote said of the odd schedule Sunday. "But hey, football's football. You put the ball down on the grass and we'll play."
Eventually that was the case after the Giants (6-3) honored the members of the military for Veterans Day, as well as the first responders in the wake of Sandy. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who was scheduled to be in Atlanta for the Sunday night game, made a stop at MetLife Stadium in the pregame to shake the hands of those being honored.
At around 4:25 p.m., everything finally felt normal when the Steelers' Shaun Suisham booted the opening kickoff.
Having dealt with the awkward schedule, the Steelers showed they were also able to overcome a few questionable calls by the officials – including a fumble returned for a touchdown that should've been ruled an incompletion – as well as their own coach's decision to run a failed fake field goal on a fourth-and-1 from the Giants' 3-yard line instead of taking the easy kick for a tie game early in the fourth quarter.
The Pittsburgh defense forced a three-and-out to set up the game-winning drive and end an awkwardly-scheduled day in a familiarly victorious fashion.
"Felt kind of weird coming the day of," said Steelers running back Isaac Redman, who ran for 147 yards and the winning touchdown. "But any obstacle that comes in our way, we just push it aside and come to work. We knew the Giants were dealing with their own adversity, so we couldn't feel bad for ourselves, and we just came out here ready to play."
Taking a Giant break
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Kathy Nogalo, a volunteer with the Lanoka Harbor (N.J.) EMS, was being sheepish about her Steelers fandom while standing on the sideline at MetLife Stadium before her team faced the Giants on Sunday.
Until NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, in the midst of shaking hands with members of the military and the first responders to last week's devastating storm , asked if there were any Steelers fans in the crowd.
Seconds later, after being whisked by Goodell to the end zone, Nogalo was hugging Steelers owners Dan Rooney and Art Rooney II, with Art taking the Steelers' 80th anniversary pin off of his lapel and giving it to Nogalo.
"That was the moment of a lifetime," Nogalo said. "Priceless."
The NFL's goal Sunday was to provide victims of the storm, as well as those pressed into service in its the aftermath , a break from the devastation that has rendered them powerless or, in some cases, homeless.
While the New York City Marathon was canceled, Giants-Steelers kicked off as scheduled, with few arguments from those on hand about whether the game should've been played.
"I sure didn't hear that here, and I didn't hear it out in the parking lot," said Goodell, who visited East Rutherford before taking a flight to Atlanta for the Sunday night game. "In fact, exactly the opposite."
It was the same for some of those attending the game who were trying to think about anything other than the damage caused to their houses.
Lee Steneken from Mahway, N.J., was without the blue Giants shuttle bus with the grill and portable toilet he brings to each game. On Saturday, when he went to retrieve the bus from his work lot in New Milford, N.J., he realized someone had siphoned 20 gallons of gas out of the tank.
"If somebody needed that gas to run a generator for their family, fine," Steneken said, keeping perspective for a moment. "But I still miss that bus."

Three hours of relief
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Michael Mullin's property is strewn with an estimated 45 tons of debris, the marina has explained that his boat has been totaled and the 45-year-old is feeling the aches of a week's worth of clean-up from superstorm Sandy.
All things considered, Mullin felt lucky Sunday. Loved ones were safe, and his Giants were on television.
The Staten Island resident found a moment of relief at the nearby Hilton Garden Inn, which served as a shelter for 80 families displaced by the storm, in the form of a hot cheeseburger, french fries, and three-plus hours of football on a big-screen TV. He spoke matter-of-factly about the damage as the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers went on.
"I lost only property and stuff. I didn't lose as much as a lot of other people," he said. "If the Giants win today, I'll feel better."
Earlier, James Dempsey was cleaning out his flooded home wearing a Giants sweatshirt, but he had no plans to watch the game. "No chance. I'll be here all day," he said.
Still, the Time Warner Cable store served as a temporary shelter of hot food and power and a place to watch the Giants — a local gathering that New York wide receiver Victor Cruz re-tweeted to his more than 253,000 followers. For Rosanna Gottlieb, 34, and her three kids, the pizza and football was a nice distraction after a miserable, power-less week.
"We do watch the Giants. This just feels like a little bit more normal, being around other people," she said. "It was nothing like we ever experienced before. A lot of the basics were taken away. We learned to live differently."

Bar back in business
HOBOKEN, N.J. -- A small yellow generator hummed on the corner of Sixth and Washington streets in Hoboken. It had arrived Sunday morning, a few hours before Sullivan's Bar regained power. Inside two dozen patrons watched the Giants play host to the Steelers a few miles away at MetLife Stadium .
Before kickoff in East Rutherford, though, the televisions were split between the early NFL games and Gov. Chris Christie providing updates. The governor's voice boomed over the action. Now, as the Giants and Steelers were tied in the second quarter, CBS announcer Joe Nantz's voice filled the room.
Outside, members of the FEMA corps canvassed the streets in blue and white uniforms not unlike the Giants'. Blackboards proclaimed taverns were open in time for the game. Giants flags fluttered in a light breeze and electric signs showed a restaurant's allegiance.
After losing revenue all week, customers were returning to taps of warm beer limited menus after food had to be thrown out and most important TVs.Sullivan's stayed open throughout the week, lit by battery-operated lanters.
On Sunday it was littered with patrons in jerseys, from Redskins to Houston Oilers to Vikings. The bartender wore a Victor Cruz jersey. There was a Tuck sitting in a booth and a Manning walking around.
Michael Falco, the manager, had to tend bar during the week but knew exactly what he was going to do when kickoff game for the Giants.
"Four o'clock I'm gonna watch the game," he said. "I'm done."
Mike Vorkunov, Special for USA TODAY Sports
Filling up on Giants too
PASIPPANY, N.J. -- Brian Siberbinski was on his couch watching the New York Giants game when his girlfriend texted that she was going to get gas.
Since it was taking several hours to sit through lines throughout the state, Siberbinski was not going to let her go alone. So he waited at a Wawa in a line that was 35 deep and checked the game on his phone before finally filling up.
Tim Baxter is a New York Jets fan who was home for his birthday but instead was sent off by his family to get gas. After waiting in line for an hour and a half on previous days, he timed his trip to coincide with the Giants game, hoping there would be fewer people in line.
"I figured the line would be a lot shorter because of the the big game," Baxter said. "I'm hoping for the best."
Of course, if the Jets were playing, even a dire gas shortage wouldn't have been enough for Baxter to leave the house.
"I'd go gasless for the night," he said.

NYPA and Village of Lewiston Agree to Return Public Land to Tax Roll
December 17, 2003
ALBANY—The Trustees of the New York Power Authority (NYPA) have approved the release of its interest on a parcel of land owned by the Village of Lewiston to encourage a series of private and public land initiatives to benefit the Village economy. This action took place at a meeting of the Trustees on Tuesday.
Once part of NYPA's Niagara Power Project lands, this parcel was transferred to the Village of Lewiston in 1979 with a deed provision requiring any property revert to the Power Authority if the Village did not use it for public purposes. While a 1.9 acre portion of the 3.2 acre parcel was developed for public use, as the Lewiston Public Library, the Village is now seeking private residential development on the balance. The sale of this parcel will help generate revenue to construct a new public works facility proposed for another area of the Village. The Village will then reclaim the current public works site, on prime Niagara River shoreline, for public use such as recreation.
"This is an innovative opportunity for formerly public land to serve the Village of Lewiston in a new way—producing new tax revenue, new municipal funds and more open space for recreation," said Louis P. Ciminelli, chairman, New York Power Authority.
"The cooperation and responsiveness we received from the New York Power Authority shows they are good neighbors and committed to the Village's success. They immediately shared our vision for the progressive use of these private and public Village lands," said Richard Soluri, mayor, Village of Lewiston. "We are grateful to Power Authority chairman Ciminelli for his support and encouragement throughout this process."
The removal of the deed provision allows the Village to proceed with its plans to sell the remaining property in the parcel to a private developer. This will generate revenue to help finance a new public works facility on a one-acre site in a light industrial area of the Village. It will also generate future tax revenue from the new homeowners of the townhouses envisioned for the site. In addition, the Niagara River shoreline site, where the current public works building is located, will become available for public use such as recreation, tourist activities and family events.
The Trustees also released any remaining rights in the parcel, where the Library was constructed, with the condition that any revenue generated from a sale of any portion of that parcel be used for public purposes.

Andy Brasko
I see where Andy Brasko is attending TroutFest this year tying his beautiful wet fly patterns.
You are all in for a treat.
Andy is well know up north here, When my monthly copy of the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild
Newsletter would come, the first thing, and I mean the first thing I did was turn to
Andy's monthly column and read it.
As you can see by the few posts he has put up he is very honest and
passionate about his art. If any of you are lucky to get to watch him tie,
ask questions about his techniques and such, you will not get a quick and
easy answer, he will take his time to fully explain it. No short cuts here.
The detail of his flies are something to behold.
Another thing that you won't find him posting about, Andy is an
Officer in the Ray Neirle, South Jersey Chapter of Trout Unlimited,
and he also an Officer of New Jersey State Council of Trout Unlimited.
So reading about him going to Townsend, TN to help out a very worthy cause for TU is nothing new.
Wet Fly History in East Tn.
AK and Andy,
Let me share with you some of the history of the Wet Fly in this part of the country and maybe it will give you some perspective as how to deal with speaking about your flies on this board and when you are at Trout Fest in the Summer. You can probably count on one hand all the people who frequent this bulletin board and who fish in the Smokies who go back far enough to have any experience with fishing Wet Flies. This is my 60th year at Flyfishing and it began in the early 50s. Wet Flies were the fly of choice at this time and I fished them for 3-4 years. In my world, Nymphs began to replace them and Dry Flies as well. In just a short peroid of time the Wet Fly disappeared completely in the Smokies until about 12 years ago. I and others began to tie some Emerger and Wet Fly patterns that were used to some extent in the GSMNP and on area Tailwaters. To sum it up, very few people in this area have any exposure to Dressed Wet Flies like the Ray Bergman selections so you are going to be on new ground and many explanations will need to go with your flies to help others understand how and when to use them in this area.
Thanks again for sharing time with us.

Hugh is absolutely spot on when it comes to the historical use of wet flies; I might mention that this was a nationwide use however. When I was a teen the few fly shops I was able to visit feature tradiional wets and "traditional catskill drys".
About the only "place" I saw nymphs was in the Orvis catalog in those days and there were only a few "traditional" offerings.
What's most remarkable is that traditional wets worked well and my generation gravitated away from them! My belief is that trout strike them out of curiosity or perhaps they create an instinctive desire to bite.... much like an Atlantic Salmon Fly.
Who really knows?
My bet is that Hugh, myself and several others have bits of this and that in our fly tying supplies that demonstrate the progression away from the tying and use of traditional wet flies.
Matching the hatch became everything thirty years ago and wets match nothing.....
Funny how we all figure trout to be so smart as to "require" hatch matching when they have a brain the size of a pea.... traditional wets are BLING and trout like BLING as everyone is now adding FLASH to nymphs.
What goes around comes around.
Although I know absolutely nothing about catskill & new england aquatic insects, I'd imagine you're correct about the crazy looking wets with married wings of 3 different colors being nothing more than bling....and its possible that these are the wets you were referring to.
Yes Grannyknot..... referring to the Bling colors; not the hendrickson, blue quills or other wets that are essential a wet version of a Darby or Dette dry fly or some of the UK/Ireland drys.
Traditional wets and American Landlocked streamers (I believe) likley evolved from the Atlantic Salmon patterns used in Western European Countries.... Andy may correct me if I'm incorrect!
In my youth I was fortunate enough to visit a bunch of the old school catskill, pocono and connecticut "fly shops" owned by guys who tied all the beautiful wets and dries that originated nearly 100 years ago. These guys had billions of flies in the walk out basements, garage shops or outbuildings... it was like a visit to CandyLand.
When I moved up to Maine in the early 80's the few shops around the State where Landlocked Salmon were in the Rivers (Rangley area and Moosehead as well as LLBean) sold magnifcent Streamers.... like Grey Ghost, 9-3 Supervisor, Magog Smelt and all the Carrie Stevens Patterns.
I used to tie many of them but over the years like my friends I bastardized the "True Patterns" with more modern materials and synthetics and used marabou in place of saddle feathers because they held up better and seemed to catch more fish.... don't know that I have any Silver or golden pheasant left any more.... heck I may not have virtually any duck quill for that matter... time to go hunting! Where can I shoot an IBIS?
Andy.... have you ever considered marabou to replace matched Quills on your wets.... OR would this be blasphomy? I may try it and you can beat me with an old Fenwick glass rod or piece of bamboo.
Hi Hugh & Corbo:
Let's take a stroll a long time ago, the scene is Theodore gordon moves to the Catskills and fishes streams like the Willowemoc, Beaverkill, Esopus Creek and the Neversink. What type of fly is he using, a classic wet fly that was the norm for his era an extremely big acoss the pond in England and where abouts. So one day he starts noticing that while making the first cast with a wet fly, the fly just barely hit the water and he gets a strike. Not sure he he caught a Trout, but the point here he learned a thing or two. Then he starts fishing wet flies up stream and stripping the fly line at the speed of the stream and start catching fish, So why is this important. Because this is where Gordon starts learning the first basic ideas of Dry fly fishing. Gordon has numerous talks with G.E.M Skues and Halford. Skues at this time is considered a rebel because of his theory on nymphing and that color plays and important part in catching fish. Halford hears Gordons stories and sends his dry flies that Halford fishes with on the chalk streams ( slow moving really no riffles and such). Gordon when he receives these flies realizes the fly will not float and get pulled under current by the tougher Catskill streams. Gordon goes on a 5 year mission and developes the first origional Catskill dry fly and is believed to have thrown it on the Beaverkill that is now marked with a sign next to the Beaverkill covered bridge today. The fly by gordon was the Quill Gordon that took about 5 years to create that he is satisfide with. Gordon went in search of feathers that were stiff and durables that could with stand the tougher streams of the Catskill. So from this era, Christianson comes about and see's Gordon's flies and later Rubin Cross a little further down the Road LaBranch and the Dette's and Darbee's are about as well as John Atherton and Lee Wulff. Also you can see Bergman about who also loved wet flies and Dry flies. The Dry fly Era was born and the wet fly started dying a slow death. But the funny part is that the supposed father of the Dry Fly was really a wet fly fisherman. Tomorrow night I will post again and start talking about wet flies and why this dying art is not practiced today and how really affective are the Bergman wet fly collection on Trout really is. Until I start breaking this down with detail and experience I will tell you the patterns found in Bergman's book are highly affective. We will also talk about what some of the patterns imitate.
A Genuine Wet Fly Fishermen
I am enjoying this topic. I think my greatest strength fly fishing is with wet flies and a 'dynamic' method of fly fishing. There are many days when I absolutely kill it on wet flies. However; it is not my favorite type of fishing. I truly enjoy stalking a trout with a dry fly and watching the take. I would rather catch one fish a day on a dry fly than 30 fish on another.

Man O Man, Andy!
Theodore Gordon would love to be here in the Smokies right now. The Quill Gordons are pouring off and I had a great time this week fishing with one. You've got my attention completely with this post and I'm looking forward to the next installment. I am going back in time thinking of my youth as you speak of these men who began this journey. I'm sure it will open doors from an earlier time with others who had the opportunity to share in this trivia of the past. When you get down here this summer you will see what an influence it has had on the fly fishing world. I'm looking forward to seeing you and watch you tie.
Hugh Hartsell---East Tenn.
After Rutgers Camden 1984 I moved to Maine from South Jersey (Cherry Hill) so I could fly fish for trout at will and not need to travel great distances or only enjoy an occassional weekend.
Then the fishing on my favorite tailwater went to **** and the stripers stopped coming to Maine.....
Hence I moved to East TN where I can actually flyfish year round.....
SO; when are you going to move HERE?
Brothers on the board; a call to action... let's get Andy onto lotsa fish during his visit and s[poil him rotten in the Park and on a few tailwaters!
Southern NJ is no place for a fly fisher!

Recipe for Race-Day Success - Page 3
Rutberg concurs. "Your last substantial meal should be two to four hours before the event," he says, "which allows the nutrients to get out of the stomach and into the blood stream. If [you eat too close to starting time], you're more likely to experience stomach distress."
Jones-Wilkins depends on a solid race-morning meal, and his experience dictates a different timing. "I eat an eight-ounce yogurt with granola and a banana about an hour beforehand, then an energy bar a minute or so before the starting gun."
"The last 90 minutes or so before the event, have smaller snack food, like an energy bar or gels," says Rutberg. "Also, have water or a bottle of sports drink to top everything off." Rutberg explains that the body will burn through about 80 percent of its carb reserves the night before the race. "If you don't replenish it, you could bonk really fast on race day."
Before her 50- to 100-mile ultras, Africa goes big. "I eat oatmeal with blueberries, a banana, maybe some decaf coffee, and a little Recharge drink," she explains. "If there's any room left, I'll have a toasted PB&J sandwich."
For two-time USATF Mountain Runner of the Year Laura Haefeli, it's a different matter. Haefeli, 39, focuses on shorter distances—from 10K to 10 miles—and more intense bursts of energy. "I usually stick to toast," says the part-time beekeeper, "and, of course, Haefeli's Honey!"
After the starter's pistol cracks, nutritional needs change. "I don't need to eat during, and water has always worked well for me," says Haefeli.
"The key in the race is to keep the fuel burning steadily," says Wyatt, who also coaches trail runners through www.zombierunner.com. "Most people do well with a gel or a another easily absorbed simple carb every 30 minutes."
Says Rutberg, "During the race, the old rule of thumb was to ingest 30 to 60 grams of carbs per hour." As a reference point, the average gel contains about 25 grams. "It was believed that your body could utilize only about one gram of carbohydrate from the gut per minute."
However, recent research by Dr. Asker Jeukendrup, Professor of Exercise Metabolism at University of Birmingham (England) has cast this time-tested rule in a different light. "If you combine sugars in a certain way—two parts glucose, one part fructose —you can increase your body's carb intake by as much as 25 grams per hour."
More runners are relying almost solely on energy gels as easily digestible carbs. The average gel packet contains about 100 calories, which means you need two gels per hour—a ratio that translates to some astounding figures over the long haul. Kulak, for example, consumes between 40 and 60 gels in a 100-mile effort and half that in a 50-mile trail race.

Going too far?
The 10th Amendment to the Constitution states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
A president when being sworn into office takes an oath of office where he promises "to the best of his ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." If a political leader feels that something in the Constitution should be changed, there are legal procedures to accomplish that, but they include input by the people. Unfortunately they rarely take the legal approach. Why bother with the people? There have been many encroachments made illegally on the Constitution. We tend our affairs with confidence in our politicians, while our freedoms are slowly being usurped by activist egomaniacs who see their duty to control the mindless horde.
Nowhere in the Constitution is there anything that gives the federal government the right to set standards for the education of our children. We never had a federal Secretary of Education until sometime in the 1970s. It hasn't improved our education either. Nowhere does the Constitution give the right to the federal government to interfere with how much any employer should pay any employee, or legislate any minimum wage for anyone.
Nowhere in the Constitution does the federal government have a right to say who can or cannot marry whoever. Nowhere does the Constitution give the federal government the right to favor certain works of art over others, with grants from the National Endowment of the Arts. In medieval days kings may have promoted their favorites, but today, in America, that is despicable. Nowhere does the Constitution give the right to the federal government to set the standards and control our health care.
Our founding fathers understood the necessity of keeping a central government out of what we consider our personal affairs. These questions may be dealt with by the various state governments, but not the feds. The shocking fact today is how many of us accept federal control of these matters as though it was the natural thing to do. That's not how we got to be the greatest nation in the world.
The failure to put legal principles above personal prejudices appears to be a common characteristic of some Supreme Court Justices, who often make decisions on what is constitutional by the needs of their personal sense of justice. That's why politicians fight so intensely to get their own people on the Supreme Court.
Slowly we are inch by inch being lowered into a quaqmire under control of the power seekers. Must we accept rule by a legislature that exempts itself from the laws it passes to control the rest of us, sets its own salary, and retirement benefits, which are beyond anything remotely available to any citizen, and as testament to its lush, royal, prestige passes name recognition down from father to son in king-like fashion so that we are slowly developing a ruling class.
It would seem to me that if a politician takes an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution and then approves of laws in violation of that oath, someone ought to consider him for impeachment. Congressmen learn quickly that "One hand washes the other."
We enter this age of "who cares" at our own risk. We are conditioned to truth stretching by commercial enterprises all saying they are the best, promising to make our lives beautiful for a few pennies, offering us a $75 value for only $19.95, and comics poking fun at the efforts of good people.
Why should I care? The sorry truth is: Things do matter. Life in America has been relatively so good that we have grown careless in our behavior, and in the way we allow the media to influence our children. It is true, we can do anything we want, but we cannot escape the consequences of the choices we make. We are fast approaching the fork in the road of no return. I hope we get it right. May God bless America.

A friend of ours told us about a project that his brother and sister-in-law are endeavoring on. They are Jonny and Michelle, boutique photographers, and the couple behind Paper Antler. Their work is beautiful and captivating. Looking through their photos I see hope, love, romance, passion, adventure, and an unquenchable joy for life. Their desire is to bring together their passions–their gift for capturing the beauty of the world around them and social justice– through the Fifty Nifty project. One of the things that I really love is that it will only work if others join them. We need each other and the success of this project is dependent on more than just this lovely couple. It isn't safe. It is risky. They are putting themselves out there with faith that they will be joined and that is beautiful.
- Beginning in January of 2012, Jonny and Michelle will begin an adventure that will span one year.
- Their goal: photograph 50 weddings in 50 states in 50 weeks donating $1000 from each wedding to She Dances for a total donation of $50,000. While this is their ideal goal, their primary goal is to raise $50,000 for She Dances in 50 weeks.
- She Dances is an anti-human trafficking organization that they have worked closely with over the years.
- $50,000 would assist She Dances in sustaining their current safe home in Honduras for one year or allow them to open a new safe home in another place of need.
- They have a route mapped out, so check it out to see if they will be in your area when you or someone you know is getting married. Download this PDF for information about their route.
- Spread the word.
Paper Antler's blog will have updates on Fifty Nifty bookings and other Fifty Nifty related news.

A tip for a perfectly dry car
Next time you wash your vehicle, squeegee the surface dry with one of the windshield wiper blades. Just remove the blade assembly from the wiper arm and hold it so the frame doesn�t touch the paint. Club Member Mary Sauter of Hopkins, Minnesota, picked up this tip from her Honda dealer.

Sir John A. Macdonald
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Ted Hsu Kingston and the Islands, ON
Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an immigrant who worked hard to build his country.
He had a long-term vision for a big Canada, the Canada we are fortunate to inherit. He believed the federal government should lead in realizing that vision. He worked for this vision by serving as the first occupant of the seat that I am now proud to occupy and as the first prime minister of Canada.
In 2015 we will celebrate the bicentennial of Sir John A. Macdonald. I thank Mr. Arthur Milnes and the Sir John A. Macdonald Bicentennial Commission in Kingston, Ontario for organizing the commemoration.
As the Minister of Finance said, "All eyes should be on Kingston on January 11, 2015". I thank him and Tory senators Mike Duffy and Linda Frum for their continuing support. As well, I thank the first person to lead a VIP Sir John A. tour in Kingston, the leader of the Liberal Party, the member for Toronto Centre.
Together, let us celebrate and honour our history.
St. John's Lutheran Church
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Colin Mayes Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Madam Speaker, on November 12 of this year, St. John's Lutheran Church in Vernon in my riding of Okanagan—Shuswap celebrated its 100th anniversary; 100 years of programs for children, youth groups, marriage counselling, seniors' activities, as well as ministering to the spiritual needs of the people of Vernon.
It has been said that for democracy to survive it must be supported by a virtuous citizenry. It is also said that elected representatives are a reflection of the values of the citizens they represent.
Churches across Canada have contributed to our Canadian democracy by teaching the brotherhood of mankind the call to serve one another and the obligation of accountability to our creator.
I thank St. John's Lutheran Church in Vernon and all churches in Canada that have contributed to the important work of tending to the spiritual well-being of Canadians and moulding those values that are the foundation of Canadian life.
Neuville Airport
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Élaine Michaud Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC
Madam Speaker, on November 7, 2011, after opposing this project for months, the Neuville municipal council was forced to announce to the public that an airport would be built in their municipality.
Although the people of Neuville have clearly spoken out against the construction of this airport, the Carriage by Air Act, which is federal legislation, gives small groups of developers the freedom to set up where they want, without consulting the municipality or the public. For a long time, the mayor has been calling for a meeting with the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, but the minister has refused, claiming that municipalities fall under provincial jurisdiction.
Is the minister so disconnected that he has forgotten the Supreme Court ruling confirming that federal legislation has authority over Quebec legislation when it comes to agricultural zoning? This ruling clearly shows that the minister is responsible for this issue.
It is time for him to take his job seriously and publicly commit to meeting with the mayor of Neuville.

Madam Speaker, last week we spent time remembering the service and sacrifice of Canadians in uniform. One in particular struck a chord with me.
Group Captain Rayne Dennis "Joe" Schultz was an Alberta boy who joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in July 1940 and started a distinguished RCAF career that lasted 37 years.
During the war, Joe flew de Havilland Mosquitos in the night fighter role with one of my old squadrons, the 410 Cougars. He finished the war as an ace with eight kills, including four in one night, which earned him and his navigator the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Known as "Mr. Flight Safety", his efforts were recognized by the Flight Safety Foundation and the United States Air Force Aerospace Safety Hall of Fame.
In Canada, he was awarded the Trans-Canada McKee Trophy in 1978. He was inducted into Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame in 1997.
Like many young aviators, I received the benefit of Joe's personal advice and had the privilege of knowing him for many years.
After a fighter pilot's struggle, Joe slipped the surly bonds of earth for the last time, appropriately on Remembrance Day 2011, in his 89th year.
Noctivaga, Joe.
Medal of Bravery

Madam Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to Mr. Dale Brady from Valemount, B.C., who just received his second Medal of Bravery from the Governor General.
Dale Brady, chief pilot with Yellowhead Helicopters, and Steve Blake, visitor safety specialist with Parks Canada, rescued a group of hikers off Mount Robson in 2008 after they were reported overdue. These hikers had been on the mountain for three weeks when they found they could no longer continue. The chances of them surviving another night were very slim.
The rescue was extremely difficult as the weather at the top of the Canadian Rockies' highest peak was incredibly unstable. After getting a very small break in the weather, Brady and Blake headed to Mount Robson. Due to a steady hand and the experience of Mr. Brady, Mr. Blake was successfully lowered down from the helicopter and extracted the men off the side of the mountain.
Mr. Brady's courage and willingness to risk his own life to save another's is both admirable and extraordinary. His actions inspire a nation and command our deepest gratitude.
Child Poverty

Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Madam Speaker, November 20 is Universal Children's Day, commemorating the UN's adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.
That same year this House voted unanimously to end child poverty. The motion was put forward by our former leader, Ed Broadbent.
Sadly, on this Universal Children's Day, Canadians are realizing that more and more children are slipping into poverty as their families suffer during the economic crisis.
That is why I want to echo the call of UNICEF and the Canadian Association of Social Workers who are celebrating today by calling once again for an independent children's commissioner.
The lack of movement on appointing a children's commissioner, first suggested in 2003, was highlighted by the Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children in its report to the UN on Canada's progress.
A commissioner would be able to investigate government policies that discriminate against vulnerable groups, like aboriginal children, and measure the impact on children's rights of new legislation. In addition, a commissioner could tell us why, after 22 years, Canada still has made no progress on reducing child poverty.
National Child Day
Statements By Members

Kellie Leitch Simcoe—Grey, ON
Madam Speaker, I am rising today to bring attention to National Child Day, which will take place on Sunday, November 20.
We all have a role to play in ensuring that children reach their full potential as the future of our country.
Unlike the Liberals, the Conservative government has delivered real results to ensure that we are supporting Canadian children and families. In fact, we have made the largest investments in Canadian history.
This year alone, we will provide over $6 billion in early childhood development and child care funding. We have also introduced the universal child care benefit, giving $2.6 billion annually to 1.5 million families. We have implemented tax measures that have put more than $3,000 back into the pockets of every Canadian family. This makes a real difference for Canadians in these tough economic times.
Our government values the important contribution that families make to our country to improve its well-being.
I encourage all Canadians to participate in National Child Day on November 20.
Transgender Day of Remembrance

Randall Garrison Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, BC
Madam Speaker, I stand today to recognize November 20, the Transgender Day of Remembrance. This is a day when people in communities across Canada and around the world gather to remember the victims of transphobic violence and to dedicate themselves to working to end all forms of discrimination against transgender and transsexual people.
The House will have an opportunity to take an important step toward ensuring full equality by including gender identity and gender expression as prohibited grounds of discrimination in the Canadian Human Rights Act when my private member's bill comes forward in the new year.
Other actions are needed to help end discrimination in the workplace, in housing, in health care, in the justice system, and in the provision of identity documents.
Let us remember that transgender and transsexual Canadians are members of our families. They are our neighbours. They are our co-workers. They are our friends. Canada is richer for their life experience and the many ways they contribute to our communities. On the Transgender Day of Remembrance, they also help us to understand our own humanity and the full meaning of equality.
New Democrats are honoured to stand in solidarity with transgender Canadians on this important day.
National Flag of Canada

John Carmichael Don Valley West, ON
Madam Speaker, I rise today because later this afternoon we will be debating my private member's Bill C-288, the national flag of Canada act.
The bill is important because too many Canadians have been forced to take down their flag when they have been trying to show support and pride for this great country and the values in which we believe, Canadians like Mr. Vachon, the Cassidys, the Wittemans, and so many others like them. Later today I will be telling their stories.
These Canadians and so many more have stood up for our flag, our flag which represents freedom, democracy, courage and justice.
It is also time that we as members of Parliament stood up for our flag and all it represents by supporting these Canadians and so many more who have been treated unfairly for far too long.
I would ask all MPs in the House to join me and support Bill C-288.

Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Madam Speaker, 25 years ago today, Ontario's legislative assembly passed the French Language Services Act, known in French as Loi 8. It guarantees an individual's right to receive services in French from Government of Ontario ministries and agencies in 25 designated areas throughout the province.
It would be impossible to mention this important anniversary without paying tribute to the work of Bernard Grandmaître, a good friend of mine, who was the Ontario government's minister responsible for francophone affairs at the time.
We should be thankful for the Peterson government's leadership and the influence this event had on other parts of the country with francophone minorities. In fact, since that time, other provinces such as Nova Scotia and Manitoba have passed laws or adopted policies similar to Ontario's French Language Services Act.
Today we are celebrating this turning point in our country's francophone history. The French Language Services Act was a very important step in the positive evolution of Canada's linguistic duality.
Coptic Christians

Ted Opitz Etobicoke Centre, ON
Madam Speaker, it has been confirmed that 29 Coptic Christians fell victim to acts of violence in Egypt yesterday while attempting to commemorate their brethren who fell as a result of violence during a peaceful demonstration on October 9.
Our government finds this violence in Egypt to be completely unacceptable. We passed a motion unanimously in the House calling for a transparent investigation into the violence and for those responsible to be held accountable.
We hear loud and clear the cries for support from Coptic Christians here and in Egypt.
On behalf of all Canadians, I offer our condolences to the families of the victims and to those whom they were commemorating.
Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right and a vital building block for healthy democracies. People of faith must be able to practise and worship in peace and security.
Once again in the House we will make it clear that discrimination and violence against the Coptic community must stop.
Pay Equity
Statements By Members
11:15 a.m.
Alexandrine Latendresse Louis-Saint-Laurent, QC
Madam Speaker, yesterday, female Canada Post workers won the battle for their fundamental right to pay equity. The government had been denying them that right for 28 years, spending millions of dollars on court costs to oppose women's rights. With the Liberals' help, in budget 2008, the Conservatives took away the hard-earned gains that had been made in the area of pay equity. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Despite the Conservatives' attempt to suppress the rights of female workers, Canada is moving forward, thanks largely to the contribution made by one of the members of this House. Today the entire NDP team would like to recognize the efforts of the leader of the official opposition and hon. member for Hull—Aylmer.
Despite constant attacks by the Conservatives, she worked tirelessly with PSAC to improve women's equality in Canada. Despite desperate attacks by the Conservatives, she will continue to fight for women's rights and the rights of all Canadian workers. Now that is Canadian leadership. The united NDP team and our party leader are building a better Canada together.
Firearms Registry
Statements By Members
11:15 a.m.
Mark Strahl Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon, BC
Madam Speaker, this week, committee hearings began on the ending the long gun registry act. Rather than inviting law-abiding hunters, farmers and sports shooters to talk about how the long gun registry affects them personally, unsurprisingly, the NDP chose to invite its big union buddies, the Canadian Labour Congress, as its first witness. That is the same party that robbed residents of two northern Ontario ridings of their voice in this place by placing a gag order on MPs who dared to vote the wishes of their constituents.
While Canadians find this sort of behaviour upsetting, it should come as no surprise. After all, it is always special interests first and constituents last with the NDP.
Our government will continue to respect Canadian voters who gave us a strong mandate to end the wasteful and ineffective long gun registry once and for all. Giving the stage to big union bosses and silencing ordinary rural and northern Canadians is yet another worrying example that the disunited NDP is unfit to govern.
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Hélène Laverdière Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC
Madam Speaker, yesterday, the Conservatives finally decided to compromise a little and allow members of Parliament to do their work and examine the provisions of Bill C-10. The Minister of Justice even demonstrated flexibility by indicating to the Government of Quebec that it might be possible to reintroduce the amendments proposed by his Quebec counterpart.
Can the government confirm that it is prepared to amend its bill in order to focus on rehabilitation and social reintegration?
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Minister of Citizenship
Madam Speaker, Canadians, including Quebeckers, want this government to take action to protect the people of Canada from criminals. That is why we introduced Bill C-10.
If the opposition parties have amendments to propose that will provide Canadians with stronger protection against criminals, the government will consider them. However, we are asking the NDP why it has voted against every bill designed to protect Canadians from criminals.

Great Lakes officials address climate change
MARQUETTE – The University of Michigan and an independent research group have developed an interactive map designed to help local officials in the Great Lakes region deal with climate change.
Headwaters Economics teamed with the university's Graham Sustainability Institute on the project, which was announced Tuesday.
The map provides social, economic and demographic statistics on 225 counties in the eight-state region. It includes data about municipal spending, land use and climate-change characteristics such as temperature patterns.
Information tables cover topics such as employment trends in three climate-vulnerable sectors – farming, timber and tourism. There's also data on local population groups that might be susceptible to extreme heat, including the elderly and people below the poverty line.
The online tool is available free of charge.
Marquette County's job dependence on climate is listed as being moderately dependent. Alger County is listed as being most dependent.
The entire Upper Peninsula – except for Dickinson County – and all of northern Wisconsin falls into one of those two categories.
The map shows a relatively continual increase in the number of jobs in Marquette County in the tourism industry – an area heavily dependent on weather and climate – since 2006.
The study also examined how climate-related factors have changed over time.
In Marquette County, according to the study, there are several changes in 30-year averages taken from 1951 to 1980 and from 1981 to 2010. The average summer temperature has increased by 0.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Water temperatures also increased two full degrees Fahrenheit. Spring precipitation totals have dropped by 5.6 percent, and the summer drought index has dropped by 1.2.
In Alger County, the study shows an increase in average summer temperature and average water temperature as 0.9 degree Fahrenheit and 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit respectively.
Alger County's spring precipitation total has dropped 11.2 percent and its summer drought index dropped by 1.3.
To view the map, which shows statistics for every county in Michigan, along with several neighboring states, see www.graham.umich.edu/glaac/great-lakes-atlas.

Busy weekend for you then! Well done on the Tri.......followed by a 20 miler! Are you training for a marathon then?
Yes very busy . Hows you doing any news yet?
Its complicated...I had a second scan and the hernia is located in a difficult area where one of the main arteries enters the stomach muscle. If they operate then there's a percentage risk of constricting the artery and damaging the stomach muscles also causing more nerve damage in the area which would cause the pain to get worse. So, on balance the surgeon recommends keeping an eye on it for another 6 months and then review it. So looks like I've just got to get on with things for the moment......not great news I suppose. Anyway, onwards and upwards.....
Shit! not good news at all mate. Are you managing to get on ok with it? Any running?
Fear not, I am still running......not quite up to speed but I aim to be there in Margam next week, first race for about 5 months I think.
FL - When's your next race?
Is it a secret then or something?

What is the difference between the two? And how can you know which kind you have?
In James 2:14-26 we learn that our actions reveal the kind of faith we have. And John MacArthur. in his straightforward. clear manner of teaching. tells us the elements of true. living faith and explains how we can make sure they're in our lives.
These messages will help you make your faith a living testimony of Christ to a spiritually deprived world!

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr., 16 Japanese youth baseball and softball players, and four coaches participating in the U.S. Department of State's first international sports exchange with Japan on August 9, 2011. During the meeting, Secretary Clinton reiterated U.S. support for Japan as the country recovers and rebuilds following the March 2011 natural disasters. The Secretary also highlighted the role of sports to empower young people worldwide and how international sports exchange programs provide an opportunity for participating youth and the Americans they meet to share and learn how sports can play an important role in overcoming adversity.
Secretary Clinton and Cal Ripken, Jr., discussed his upcoming trip to Japan as a Public Diplomacy Envoy and the strong relationship between the people of the United States and Japan.
Secretary Clinton said, "We are so delighted to welcome the ambassador and also Cal Ripken, Jr., here today as we celebrate the wonderful program, the Japanese sports visitor program, that's been going on for a long time. But it's particularly meaningful to us now as we reach out to the Japanese people and show our support for them. And as I was saying to the young people and to the ambassador and to Cal, we love Japan for many reasons, but one of them is because they love baseball. So this is an extra special treat for us.""And we're very proud that Cal Ripken, Jr., who's such an icon of the sport all over the world, is one of our public diplomacy envoys."
Partnering with the Cal Ripken World Series, the Little League World Series and Ripken Baseball, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs' SportsUnited Office is conducting an international exchange August 8-23 with 16 Japanese youth, ages 14-17 that play baseball and softball. These young people will participate in clinics and team-building exercises with their American counterparts. Cal Ripken, Jr., will also meet with the Japanese delegation and lead a clinic with them on August 17 during the annual Cal Ripken World Series at the Ripken Youth Baseball Academy in Aberdeen, Maryland. In addition, they are slated to attend the 65th Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. While in Williamsport, the Japanese youth will participate in the Opening Day parade and throw out the first pitch for Japan's game on August 18.
In November, Cal Ripken, Jr., will travel to Japan to meet with youth from the affected prefectures in Japan, including Tokyo. As a Public Diplomacy Envoy, Ripken will lead baseball and softball clinics as well as team-building exercises. More information regarding Ripken's travel to Japan will be forthcoming. This will be Ripken's third trip as a Public Diplomacy Envoy. In 2007, he traveled to China, and in 2008 he visited Nicaragua.
You can read Secretary Clinton's complete remarks with Cal Ripken, Jr., here, and you can find out more about Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr., and Japanese Youth Lead Initial International Sports Exchange with Japan here.

In an acceptance speech devoted to jobs, family, jobs and jobs, Mitt Romney promised to "give our fellow citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow" by promoting school choice. " Every parent should have a choice, and every child should have a chance."
Earlier, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's speech was all about education.
We say that every child in America has an equal opportunity. Tell that to a kid in whose classroom learning isn't respected.
Tell that to a parent stuck in a school where there is no leadership. Tell that to a young, talented teacher who just got laid off because she didn't have tenure.
The sad truth is that equality of opportunity doesn't exist in many of our schools. We give some kids a chance, but not all.
That failure is the great moral and economic issue of our time. And it's hurting all of America.
Bush also called for school choice.
Go down any supermarket aisle – you'll find an incredible selection of milk.
You can get whole milk, 2% milk, low-fat milk or skim milk. Organic milk, and milk with extra Vitamin D.
There's flavored milk– chocolate, strawberry or vanilla – and it doesn't even taste like milk.
They even make milk for people who can't drink milk.
Shouldn't parents have that kind of choice in schools?
Condi Rice, another choice supporter, said the "crisis in K-12 education" is a "threat to the very fabric of who we are" in her convention speech. Otherwise education was barely mentioned.
Here's Romney's education web page and the Hechinger Report's analysis of what would happen to education under Romney or Obama.

I have to dodge alot, use my counter attack, grab them and throw them off the edge, a couple of normal strikes and put them off the edge, Aether is pretty damn effective. I get them off the stage and while their jumping back on I do my side smash attack and kill them, easily. Ganondorf, is just hard in general.I agree with Avocado. I can't use heavy characters like Ike because they're just so unbelievably slow. People can easily grab you before you do a simple smash attack.quote Techno2Peach is amazing.I would say Zero Suit Samus, buuut i guess thats just me, so id say Ice Climbers, Olimar, and Princess Peach, which is probably also personal preference.

The mouse in the PC wasn't working earlier - vertical was fine but horizontal movement was non existent. The PC wouldn't respond to Ctrl +Alt+Delete so I did a hard reboot. Same problem so changed mouse, which made no difference. Tried a hard reboot again & this time there was horizontal movement but no vertical. Tried a final reboot, still the same problem so shut it down & labelled it as broken. Every time I needed to do a hard reboot as it was non-responsive. Also checked pins & socket, just in case.
The PC might have got damaged yesterday, either knocked when stuff was moved due to the incoming water or by the water itself. Any thoughts on repairing or fixing it?
