Your online trophy trout fishing resource...
There are a variety of tactics employed to target the larger trout in a given body of water. It is well known that big fish feed on small fish, and most of my fishing is based on this simple concept. It is, however wise to be aware that insects and other small terrestrials still make up a fair percentage of most trout's diet. There have been several times at Crane Prairie Res when huge rainbows and brookies were boiling and leaping out of the water gorging themselves on dragonfly emergers, but they would not touch the lures that are normally effective for me there. The ultimate angler would be knowleged and geared for all situations. That is a near lifetime achievement for those who can only fish so often. I will discuss the tactics that I have found useful in my fishing on this page.
Flatline or Topline Trolling. Flatlining (aka toplining) is one of the easiest and best ways to target trophy trout. Although quality gear is always a good idea when planning on doing battle with a large adversary, there is no specialized gear required to fish this method. It is as simple as putting a minnow imitating lure on your line and letting it go 100 yds or so behind the boat. Trolling speed can vary a lot from 1.3 to 4+ mph, and lure selection covers an even wider range from 2 inches up to 8 inches. I know of guys catching trout on 12 inch lures, but that's a bit large for me. Most of my flat lining is done with 3-5 inch lures at speeds of 2 to 3 mph. Although quite a few big fish have hit with the rod in the holder, more will strike when you impart the action of a desperately wounded baitfish by "ripping" your rod and letting it slack slightly between rips. With 100 yds of line between your rod and the lure, it takes a long, aggressive stroke on the rip to have the proper effect on the lure. My rod of choice is a 7-7 1/ 2 foot 5 power Lamiglas which is a fairly stiff (fast action) rod. Reel wise, you want something that's not too big and heavy, but will hold plenty of line for the occasional hookup with a fish that takes 100 yard run on the hookup. It happens! For line, I use a base line of 15 lb PowerPro which in my opinion is the best in the superline/braid world.Thin and manageable. To the PowerPro, I use a back-to-back uni knot and tie a 50 ft leader of 10-15 lb fluorocarbon. I like the P-Line products and I don't pay the money for the small spools of leader material, I buy 300 yd spools of Fluoroclear for around 10 bucks. The PowerPro wears well and lasts a long time, and when it does start to seem worn you can remove it and re spool it the opposite direction and your good for another year or two. To the leader I tie a small but heavy duty cross lock snap (no swivel). Depth of water to troll in varies a ton depending on conditions. In my tackle box there are lures that range in running depth from 2-3 ft deep up to some that will go down 40 ft on a long line. The general rule of thumb is to keep your lure tight to structure, in shallow water 10-20 ft deep, but at times the ticket might be trolling in the top 10 ft of 100 ft deep water. I often catch bull trout at Lake Billy Chinook flat lining Rapala #20 Sliver (runs 25 ft) over 300 ft deep open water. A sonar graph is extremely useful for tracking depths as well as finding fish in deeper water, but don't expect to see many fish on the graph while trolling in water under 20 ft. Wary big trout scatter as your boat passes over, and this is why your lure is 100 yds behind you! Casting I personally find casting lures to be more enjoyable than trolling them. It allows you to get the lure in closer to certain structure, and really work a given area thoroughly without buzzing your boat over the water that the fish are holding in. For casting most mid sized plugs, and medium to heavy spoons, I use a 7 ft 4 power Lamiglas spinning rod with a Shimano Stradic 2000 reel. I spool it up with 8 lb PowerPro, and 50 ft of 8 lb leader. I can cast most lures a mile with that set up, and that helps when it comes to fooling the big ones. For smaller plugs and spoons, I reach for my 6 1/2 ft ultra light action rod and reel, filled with 4 lb line. My favorite casting lure is the Kastmaster spoon by Acme Tackle. I fish it with a jig-reel-jig-reel rhythmic action, usually after letting it sink to the bottom, but any depth can be effective.I have found 40 ft to be the maximum effective depth if using a heavier spoon. Best colors are Brook Trout, Metallic Perch, and Fire Tiger in 1/8, 1/4, & 3/8 sizes. This is lure/technique is deadly for brookies at Crane Prairie Res. in central Oregon, as my gang has pulled a good number over 5lbs with the biggest pushing 7lbs. Another favorite is Lucky Craft Pointer 65's on the ultra light. Try the Black Aurora color, it makes a great juvenile kokanee. Don't be shy, get jiggy with it, the browns go nuts! Downrigger Trolling Downriggers open up a whole new dimension in hunting for trophy trout, for years they have had a place in saltwater and the great lakes, but they have found a solid place on my boat and many others fishing freshwater lakes for trout and kokanee big and small. The concept here is pretty simple, and although you can score random fish by covering water at trial depths, the goal is to locate schools of baitfish and set your lures to run through or just below them. Often the dense schools of bait are accompanied by nice arcs of big fish around them, and this is the ideal scene. Downrigging doesn't necessarily mean you are working deep water, I have found that at times the ability to drop your lure that extra 5 or 10 feet beyond it's normal running depth is the difference between being in the zone or not. Especially for browns in the summer time. 25-45 ft is a very good depth to run lures in July and August in the lakes of Central Oregon. I employ a wide range of setback distances (the distance between your lure and the ball) depending on the situation. For big browns at shallower depths, up to 100 yds. For lakers tight to deep structure, as little as 20 ft, which allows for tight maneuvering of the boat without fouling the lines. I invested in an electric Scotty downrigger a few years ago, and if you are serious about fishing it is money very well spent. With a full lifetime warranty, you can't go wrong. The manual crank ones are fine if you will always have a second person on board, but if you are alone and you hook that fish of a lifetime, you could be in big trouble! I have given some thought to buying my second downrigger a hand crank seeing as I already have the electric for when I am solo. I have fished 3 lines off my one downrigger using cable clips. Depending on the lure combinations, I have stacked lures as tight as 5 ft apart, but I usually like to have at least 10 ft between lures. Like most fishermen, I am always changing my program with a tweak here and there, I'm sure that some very good fishermen will read my techniques and shake there heads at one thing or another. I do know that I catch a lot more wild trout over 5 pounds per hour on the water than I did 5 years ago by a large margin, and that encourages me to push on and learn more. As I learn, I will continue to share what I know on this page . Feel free to contact me and share your 2 cents or pick my brain.
Practice catch and release!

861. E. H. J. N. Dalton to Harrod , 25 October 1938 [a]
[Follows on from 854 ]
I saw Crossman last week and he added something to my knowledge of the misunderstandings, particularly of the attitude of Gordon Walker and the Oxford City Labour Party. [1] However, that is past and I hope Lindsay's campaign is going well, though it would be unwise, for various reasons, for me, as a member of our Elections Sub-Committee, to come out openly in his support. I explained this to Crossman but am glad to know that several of my Parliamentary colleagues are going to speak.
By all means try, after this is over, what you can do with Conservative dissidents. But--and this is particularly private--certain explorations which have already been made are disappointing. [2] The brutal tyranny of the Tory caucus far outdoes any of our efforts from Transport House! In all this business we can only go a step at a time.
Transport House at first supported a Labour candidature. But after receiving reports of the division in the local section, the Labour Party decided to leave the matter in the hands of the Oxford section, which decided 48 votes to 12 that Gordon Walker should withdraw (A. S. Knight, "The Oxford City By-election: Appeasement and the Popular Front", Travelyan Thesis (mimeograph Ts, 15 pages, copy in HP VI-525, pp. 5-7).
2. Dalton may be referring to a meeting he had with Duncan-Sandys on 18 October 1938, which he mentioned in his diary (Dalton I 19(68)):
Emphasised that I was not able to be very encouraging to particular projects for united action but encouraged him, if he felt inclined, to come and have another talk with me later on. We both agreed that it would be undesirable to let people know that we were meeting.
On Harrod's attempts to involve dissident conservatives into an electoral pact see note 1 to press item 30 .

a new adventure
Less than 2 months ago, Todd Bieber posted a short video about a roll of exposed but undeveloped 35 mm film that he found in the snow in Prospect Park on December 30th, 2010. He included images from the roll of film – which he had eagerly and curiously developed, and ended the video with a plea for anyone who knew anything about anyone in the images to contact him so that he could return the film to its rightful owner. I'd venture that he didn't expect to be travelling to Paris to return the images himself, but that's exactly what happened.
The link to Todd's video was forwarded endlessly through emails, twitter, blogs, and facebook (I must have seen it mentioned hundreds of times), and he was inundated with suggestions (helpful and otherwise). He posted a follow up video drawing attention to all of the attention that he received, and finally received a helpful response from someone who knew someone useful. When I first watched the video, I was reminded of Amelie, and I'm not surprised that others have felt the same way.
Today, Todd posted "Part 3″, a third video that concludes his little adventure. It's a feel-good movie with memorable phrases such as "never ever try to keep up with the alcohol consumption of a large German man" and "it's easy to be nice". Watch where his mission to return the film took him:
This is the kind of adventure that I am drawn to. People are analogue. At least in all the important ways. Where do you keep your film?
It happened once, it can happen again. If you find me I'll buy you coffee and we'll become friends – it's the beginning of an adventure.

TACOMA, Wash. – The Tacoma Rainiers suffered a 4-0 shutout loss to the Reno Aces at Cheney Stadium on Sunday. The defeat sealed a four-game series sweep of the Rainiers for the Aces.
Reno jumped ahead 1-0 in the top of the second thanks to Tuffy Gosewisch's RBI double in the top of the inning. Mike Jacobs doubled Tacoma's deficit with a run-scoring single in the third.
Brad Snyder stretched the Aces lead to four runs after delivering a two-run home run in the fourth inning - the outfielder's sixth homer with Reno this season.
The Rainiers lineup was limited t five hits. Outfielder Abraham Almonte's double in the top of the eighth inning served as the club's only extra-base knock. Infielder Scott Savastano singled in the fifth inning to stretch his season-high hitting streak to six games.
Blake Beavan, in his first start since being optioned to Tacoma from Seattle on July 12, was dealt the loss after surrendering four runs on 10 hits over five innings. The right-hander struck out one and walked one in his seventh start for the Rainiers this season.
Tacoma enters the All-Star Break holding a one-game lead over the Salt Lake Bees for first place in the Pacific Coast League's Pacific Northern Division.
The Rainiers enjoy a three-day layoff before opening a four-game series at the Fresno Grizzlies on Thursday, July 18. The starting pitchers for both clubs have yet to be announced. First pitch from Chukchansi Park is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

G'dame! Home And Away star Lynne McGranger to appear in Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs at the Grand Opera House, York
10:21am Tuesday 28th July 2009 in News By Charles Hutchinson
Home And Away star Lynne McGranger transforms herself from the Wicked Queen to the Wicket Queen to announce her appearance in Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs at the Grand Opera House, York.
Away from home for a few weeks this summer, the cricket-loving soap star took time out from cheering on her beloved Australia in The Ashes at Lord's and Egbaston to promote her third season in the York pantomime.
Here she is pictured practising her batting skills yesterday on the grass by Clifford's Tower while staying with friends in York between Test matches. Upon her return to start rehearsals on November 30, she will be spinning a yarn to trick English rose Michelle Hardwick's Snow White.
"If Australia win the Ashes, I can gloat, but if the Aussies lose, as the posh-speaking English Wicked Queen, I can say 'I hate Aussies almost as much as I hate you children'…and maybe I'll sprinkle some of the Ashes on a barbecue," says Lynne. "Whatever, I'll work the Ashes in somehow!
"Last time I was here, playing Witch Blackweed, England had just won the Rugby World Cup and I had to sing about the lovely Jonny Wilkinson."
Lynne, who plays the good-hearted Irene Roberts in Home And Away, first appeared in a Grand Opera House pantomime as Fairy Peapod in Jack And The Beanstalk in 1999-2000 and strayed to the dark side for the first time as the evil Witch Blackweed in 2003-2004, again in Jack And The Beanstalk.
Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs will run from December 11 to January 3; box office 0844 847 2322 or online at grandoperahouseyork.org.uk

- March 18-22, 2013: (Phnom Penh) The Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves is sponsoring the Clean Cooking Forum 2013, to be held in Cambodia next spring. As with the five Biennial Partnership for Clean Indoor Air Forums, this will be an excellent opportunity for the household energy community to come together and share what is working around the world, what is causing it to work, and what we can do more of, better, or differently. This will an important event for solar cooking promoters to attend, share information, and show unity in a common mission. Registration information...
- 2012 (nationwide) Teachers, it's time to register for re-energy.ca's 2011/12 Solar Oven Challenge. Students build, test, and bake with solar ovens using the construction plans provided at re-energy.ca, or using plans of their own design. You submit photos and descriptions of their creations, and in June, prizes are awarded to the class or group with the best submissions. Open to all Canadians, participants have ranged from grades 3 to 12, and from science classes to environmental clubs. To see past winners and submissions and to learn more about GreenLearning's Solar Oven Challenge, visit the re-energy.ca website. If you're not in Canada, the activity itself is still interesting and can be used – it's only the contest that is restricted. Submission deadline with projects has been extended to June 8th, 2012. Classes and other groups participating in our annual Solar Oven Challenge can collaborate with one another at COOL 2.0. On the COOL 2.0 website, teachers can do it all: find the solar oven resources, pose questions to one another, discuss their class projects, and share project stories and photos. Solar Challenge registration information
- July 2011 - June 2012: (Maharashtra) International opportunity for testing solar cooker designs (testing registration is now closed, we await the results) - Originally announced as a one-time event Oct. 11-13, 2011 with a related conference, the solar cooker competition has been cancelled, and instead there will be a year-long opportunity for having solar cookers and fuel stoves tested free. India's Promoters and Researchers in Non-Conventional Energy (PRINCE) group has updated standards for solar cookers, developed in conjunction with input from SCWNet members. These universal testing standards will be used to evaluate the cookers by simulating real world conditions. Designers, manufacturers, NGOs and individuals are invited to submit solar cookers for testing, and need not be present for the tests. While there will be no cash prizes, solar cookers will be rated on thermal performance, cost of manufacture and transport, and user convenience.

The wok's most distinguishing feature is its shape. Classic woks have a rounded bottom. Hand-hammered woks are sometimes flipped inside out after being shaped, giving the wok a gentle flare to the edge that makes it easier to push food up onto the sides of the wok. Woks sold in western countries are sometimes found with flat bottoms — this makes them more similar to a deep

. The flat bottom allows the wok to be used on an electric stove, where a rounded wok would not be able to fully contact the stove's heating element. A round bottom wok enables the traditional round spatula or ladle to pick all the food up at the bottom of the wok and toss it around easily; this is difficult with a flat bottom. With a gas hob, or traditional pit stove, the bottom of a round wok can get hotter than a flat wok and so is better for stir frying.

(though some woks have spool-shaped wooden or plastic covers over the metal of the handle). Cooking with the tossing action in loop-handled woks requires a large amount of hand, arm and wrist strength. Loop handles typically come in pairs on the wok and are riveted, welded or extended from the wok basin.
Stick handles are long, made of steel, and are usually welded or riveted to the wok basin, or are an actual direct extension of the metal of the basin. The handle is sometimes covered or ended with a wooden or plastic hand grip, but it is not uncommon to find a bare metal grip. This handle facilitates the tossing action for cooks used to using western saute pans with similar style handles. These kinds of woks are often referred to as "Peking pans". Stick handles are normally not found on cast iron woks since the wok is either too heavy for the handle (thick cast iron wok), or the metal is too thin to handle the tensile stress exerted by the handle. Larger woks with stick type handles usually also have a loop on the other side to aid with handling the wok as well as to counter balance the stick type handle.
The most common materials used in making woks today are carbon steel and
cast iron
Cast iron

. Although the latter was the most common type used in the past, cooks tend to be divided on whether carbon steel or cast iron woks are superior.
Currently, carbon steel is the most widely used material. Steel woks are usually inexpensive, relatively light in weight, have quick heat conduction, and reasonable durability. However, carbon steel woks are more difficult to season and the carbonized season is easily removed in newer woks, both making food more prone to sticking to the wok. Carbon steel woks vary widely in price, style, and quality, which is roughly based on
Ply, Pli, Plies or Plying may refer to:* Ply , a turn in game play* PLY or Polygon File Format* Plying, a spinning technique to make yarn* Plies , American rapper* Pli, an academic journal...
and forming technique. The lowest quality woks tend to be single ply and

straight from a piece of steel. These woks have a higher tendency to deform and misshape. Cooking with them is also more difficult and precarious since they often have a "hot spot". Higher quality woks are almost always "hand hammered" and made of two sheets of carbon steel which are formed into shape by "ring-forming" or hand forging.
Two types of cast iron woks can be found in the market. Chinese cast iron woks are thin (3 mm (0.118110236220472 in)) and weigh about the same as a carbon steel wok of similar size, while western cast iron woks tend to be thick (9 mm (0.354330708661417 in)), tend to be heavy, and require very long heating times. Cast iron woks are superior to carbon steel woks in heat retention and uniform heat distribution. They also form a more stable carbonized layer of seasoning which makes it less prone to food sticking on the pan. However, both types of cast iron wok also have some disadvantages compared to carbon steel woks. Chinese-style cast iron woks, although quicker in heating and relatively light, are relatively fragile and are prone to shattering if dropped or mishandled. Western-type cast iron woks are slow-heating and slow-cooling, which makes temperature control more difficult. Furthermore, heavy western cast iron makes the tossing action required in stir-frying and
difficult for smaller chefs.

are common in the western market. These woks are easily scratched and cannot be used to cook in the high heat required for stir frying to excess of 230 °C (446 °F) since the Teflon coating will break down chemically at these temperatures.

wok hei
Traditionally-shaped woks can be used on some western-style (flat-topped) gas stoves by removing a burner cover and replacing it with a "wok ring," which provides stability and concentrates heat. Although not as ideal as "pit stoves", these allow woks to be used in a manner more suitable for their design and are good enough for most tasks required in home cooking.
Wok rings come in cylindrical and conical shapes. For greatest efficiency with the conical wok ring, position it with the wide side up. This allows the base of the wok to sit closer to the heat source.
Professional-style continuous grate stoves (where it's difficult or impossible to remove a single burner cover) have recently become more popular in high-end home stoves. Several manufacturers of such stoves now include a specially-designed wok ring as part of their standard or optional equipment.
Because of the high cost of these kitchen modifications, coupled with increased heat and smoke generated in the kitchen, more and more home chefs are using their wok outdoors on high-heat propane burners with curved wok support grates. Many inexpensive propane burners are easily capable of 17.5 kW - 22 kW or more, easily surpassing most in-home gas stoves.

electric cooker

. These stoves do not produce the large amounts of quick even heat required for stir-frying. However, it is possible to find round-shaped electric stove elements that will fit the curve of a wok, which allows the wok to be heated at its bottom along with part of its sides. A flat-bottomed wok may also work better on an electric stove.
Coupled with the lower heat retention of woks, meals stir-fried on electric stoves have a tendency to stew and boil when too much food is in the wok rather than "fry" as in traditional woks, thus not producing
wok hei
. However, a wok can benefit from the slow steady heating of electric stoves when used for slower cooking methods such as stewing, braising, and steaming, and immersion cooking techniques such as frying and boiling. Many Chinese cooks use Western style cast-iron pans for stir-frying on electric stoves, since they hold enough heat for the required sustained high temperatures.
A newer trend in woks is the electric wok, where no stove is needed. This type of wok is plugged into an electrical outlet and the heating element is in the wok. Like stove-mounted non-stick woks, these woks can also only be used at lower temperatures than traditional woks.

An induction cooker uses induction heating for cooking. Unlike other forms of cooking, heat is generated directly in the pot or pan , as opposed to being generated in the stovetop by electrical coils or burning gas...
s generate heat in induction-compatible cookware via direct magnetic stimulation of the pan material. While carbon steel and cast iron (the most common wok materials) are induction-compatible metals, induction cooking also requires close contact between the cooking vessel and the induction burner. This presents two problems when using a wok on an induction cooktop: traditionally shaped woks, which are round-bottomed, don't have enough contact with the cooking surface to generate notable heat; and the tossing technique, where the wok is lifted off the burner and agitated, will break contact and turn off the burner.
Flat-bottomed woks make sufficient contact to generate heat. Some cookware makers are now offering round-bottomed woks with a small flat spot to provide induction contact, with a specially-designed support ring; and some induction cooktops are now also available with a rounded burner that is able to make contact with the rounded bottom of a traditional wok. In both cases, the food will need to be stirred with a cooking utensil, instead of being tossed by lifting the wok itself.
The main advantage of wok beyond its constructed material is its curved concave shape. The shape produces a small, hot area at the bottom which allows some of the food to be seared by intense heat while using relatively little fuel. The large sloped sides also make it easier for chefs to employ the tossing cooking technique on solid and thick liquid food with less spillage and a greater margin of safety. Curved sides also allows a person to cook without having to "chase the food around the pan" since bite-sized or finely chopped stir-fry ingredients usually tumble back to the center of the wok when agitated.
The curve also provides a larger usable cooking surface versus western-styled pots and pans, which typically have vertical edges. This allows large pieces of food seared at the bottom of the wok to be pushed up the gently sloped sides to continue cooking at a slower rate. While this occurs another ingredient for the same dish needing high heat is being cooked at the bottom. The pointed bottom also allows even small amounts of oil to pool. As such, large food items can be shallow fried, while finely chopped

Saturday we sat in the sun, and sold what we could to passing strangers. I had a ton of clothes, and other items spread across many tables lining my driveway. The nurse was inside with Jude, and he seemed to be okay. Judes seizures had greatly increase, and he seemed a little "out of it" to me. I would come in and out of the house checking on him. The nurse "Allen" was very nice, and would sing to Jude, and talk to him in the nicest voice. We have Charlotte during the weekdays, but Allen on Saturdays. Allen, and Charlotte are very similar, both very kind spoken, and just adore Jude.
On Sunday I had the scentsy party I mentioned, and then I had to go get Emily from her dad, and take her to get her Halloween costume. She has her very first dance at her school on Friday, and they have to wear their costumes. Emily picked a cute Alice in Wonderland outfit, which looks adorable on her. So to say the least, it was a busy weekend. On Sunday we noticed that Jude's seizures had increased yet again. We also noticed granulation tissue around his g - button, sigh! ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulation_tissue) We waited until this morning to ask Charlotte about the granulation. She called the GI doctor to order some silver nitrate, and other special cleaning products for his button. He was healing perfectly, so I really believe the granulation is due to the button coming out. The doctor said he would put in the mini 1 if the mic key become a problem for us. He did not have the mini 1 on hand for the surgery. So we are going to watch the granulation carefully. Jude did have issues sleeping last night, he wouldn't totally wake up, but he tossed and turned all night long.We have been working more with Jude's head, but learned we cannot leave him in a chair or stander without support. He begins to choke, and that could lead to aspiration. He chokes pretty violently too.
So last night on my way downstairs my eye caught a small cylinder tube laying next to the railing on my stairs. I squinted to see if it was indeed what I thought it was..........yep it was...........
A NEEDLE!, A 14 gage needle to be exact. I about had a heart attack. What on EARTH was this doing on my floor??? Keep in mind it was late, I was exhausted, and my mind immediately went into panic mode. My mind began to recreate all these horrible scenarios. One being a new nurse (we had several coming in and out right after the surgery other than our regulars) sick of my son administering something they shouldn't. I began to sob telling Mike I didn't ever want to leave my kids again. Finally I remembered that our regular nurse had gotten into a box of medical supplies that our friend Anna gave to us after her daughter passed away. It was in the top of Jude's closet which is next to the stairs. She was getting some bed covers because Jude kept wetting through his diaper. We assumed the needle probably fell out of there. The only other logical assumption would be it fell out of Smile Box donations, and I don't want to even think that. Regardless it made me feel very oogey!
When I picked up Emily from her dad on Sunday she was loaded with birthday gifts from his side of the family. She also came home with a singing birthday card from him personally. She decided to make her own lip synching video, which is hilarious. It just so happened to be my friend Fleck's birthday today so I left this video on her facebook, it's classic! It's a little mouse on the card singing this little tune.
She is such a ham!

will be maintained as a function of nitros9. Or re-added if its been
removed as related below.
The original os9 rbf.mn had some interesting features, such as the
ability to handle multiple-sector clusters in the fat. I have no idea
why Kevin D. pulled that out when he gave us that Christmas version, ed
28 way back then, that had that ability stripped out of it. Blows me
away in fact. Then when I volunteered to nitros9 rbf.mn, and started
compareing sources to make sure I wasn't destroying something, I
discovered that ed 28 was missing probably a whole page of code to do
that, but did have one obscure bug that fortunately wasn't encountered
in the normal code path because at that point, no one was using
multiple sector clusters. I put it back in, testing the heck out of it
for correctness, but since I only had one hard drive, it actually got
tested by building disks in an 80 track 720k drive by hand with ded,
for multiple-sector clusters up to 16, at which point I got tired of it
all working and published it back to the then nitros9 crew.
The only thing I didn't think thru was that somebody had come up with
the idea of a 'file has been changed' bit so backups could be done
efficiently, this being done by borrowing a bit in the fd.seg's last,
48th segment, something I never thought would be a problem... I knew
it *could* be a problem, but *I* knew how to prevent it and blindly
assumed everyone else would adjust their sas settings as I'd done long
Yeah sure, till somebody with a big hard drive left his sas at the
default of 8, ran out of fd.segs while writing a big file, and then
tried to delete the file to get some disk space back. That set bit
represented LSN0 and possibly a few more sectors too, I wasn't present
at the debacle. He deleted the file ok, but that also left LSN0
unprotected and marked unused as the fat was cleaned up, so the next
write destroyed the disks file structure.
The resultant hurrah & numerous calls for my head on a pike was of
course predictable and entirely my fault for thinking others would do
the sensible thing with their sas settings if they had the disk space.
After all, its truncated at the files closing, so the fact that you may
have had another 252 sectors allocated while the 3 sector file was open
was a non-issue unless there wasn't that much space left on the drive.
That "I've been changed" feature, has of course been removed in the last
version of rbf.mn, so its safe again I believe, but backups are once
again always made with a full level 0 backup instead of just the
changed files only. I did rather like the idea myself, but...
Anything else would have required a database file with the dates of
every file on the disk in it, code to compare dates and act
accordingly. Not impossible, but certainly a bit cumbersome to say the
least, not to mention it would probably take 2-3x the time to do a
backup. As that was a 3 day job of feeding a 765K disks to a floppy
about 16 hours a day for my Maxtor 7120s drive that was about 2/3rds
full, and over a week to do a test recover, its obvious that a more
capricious storage vessel than a 84 track ds disk can hold.
But this discussion has now rambled well off course so I'll shut the
heck up.
So test it. But I have doubts that the original os9 drivers ever
contained the collision handler, blindly assumeing that the controller
would forever remain the only host on the bus. I doubt they even do a
disconnect while waiting for the drive to process the command since the
drive is probably ready before the disconnect protocol is even
underway. Hence its another why bother when every clock cycle counts.
Cheers, Gene

It's way past my bedtime, but the Ann Arbor Superpatron has been planting ideas in my head again…
Recently Checked Out Books feed (in RSS or otherwise)
I've not built a feed, but I have come up with these two representations of the most recent check outs (click for larger versions):
1) The last 30 covers to walk out the door…
2) Word Splat!…
…that particular splat is entitled "And Treacle Challenge Yorkshire" and is now on sale for only $395,000 (serious bidders only please!)
Word Splat! is made up of words from the titles of the most recent X number of check outs (where X is a roughly a handful).
I made a typo when initially coding the Word Splat!, and ended up with a random sub selection of words at the top left. I kinda like that, so whatever you get at the top left (if anything) is officially the title of that Splat!
I've added three more book collages:
The "Overdue Books" are a random selection of items that were due back on the previous day, but have yet to turn up.

Amy Winehouse, the Grammy-award winning singer who has battled addiction problems for years, was found dead on Saturday at her apartment in London, the police said. She was 27.
Now if you wondering what the hell is 'J' Club, well Amy joins the legends of Rock - Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, all of who died at the age of 27 because of Drug Abuse. Kurt Cobain and Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones too died at the age of 27 and they too succumbed to drug abuse.
The police were called by an ambulance to Ms. Winehouse's apartment in Camden, North London, shortly before 4:05 pm, the police said in a statement. Ms. Winehouse was pronounced dead at the scene. "Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death," the police said. "At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained." But then it's rather obvious that Amy Winehouse's Drug and Alcohol addiction lead to her untimely death. Winehouse canceled her European tour last month after a performance in Serbia, where she was booed by the audience for stumbling around the stage and forgetting her lyrics. The British singer has been repeatedly treated for drug and alcohol abuse and stayed in the Priory, a London clinic that treats addiction issues, before touring Europe.
At the prime of Amy's career – in the year 2007 – designer KARL LAGERFELD, claimed that the beehived singer, who was nominated for six Grammy awards that year, is his new muse. Drug addiction, bulimia and a jailed hubby, troubled AMY WINEHOUSE looked like a walking disaster zone. Wonder what Lagerfeld found so AMusing??? And he has even compared her to Sixties French actress BRIGITTE BARDOT and said, "She's (Amy Winehouse) a style icon."
Alexander McQueen killed himself with an overdose of drugs and now it seems that the other famous, or should I say infamous Brit designer, John Galliano's outburst at the Paris cafe was fueled by drugs. Yves Saint Laurent died fighting his drug problem, Gianni Versace met his killer at one of his coke binges and Marc Jacobs and Calvin Klein accept their drug problem. Drugs seem to be the biggest scourge of the fashion world. Yet fashion courts drugs! Remember the era of Heroin Chic & Rehab Chic? Dior better consider Heidi Slimane's drug problem before signing him on as his name is doing the rounds.
Galliano's friends; rather experienced substance-abusing friends, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell have advised him to check-in to the high-profile rehab – The Meadows! Kate Moss managed to resurrect her career post getting caught sniffing cocaine on camera and I think Galliano too will bounce back surely because of his immense talent.
Hope our desi fashion fraternity realises the peril of substance abuse. However more than Indian Fashion, I feel it is Bollywood that would sooner or later crumble because of rampant drug abuse. I can count names on my fingers of stars who DON"T sniff cocaine. Most do, and when you spill the beans they go ballistic screaming from TV Channels and sending legal notices to poor scribes about us trying to taint their image. I too got a legal notice and mouth full of abuses from one such Bollywood's (fading) Star. But then I care a Damn!

Open Thread: Scandal 2.16, "Top Of The Hour"
By Arturo R. García
Even though both of our roving recappers were sidelined last night, they wanted to at least get the discussion going on schedule. So we're opening this up for everyone to share their thoughts on the return of Olivia and company, and Kendra and Joseph will join in over the course of the week to come.
Spoilers in the comments and under the cut.
Now, thanks to our dynamic duo and their roundtable, I've learned to speak Scandal–at least a little bit, via osmosis. So a few notes and questions from my own viewing of the episode:
- What did "Soul Man" have to do with any of this mess? I almost had a C. Thomas Howell flashback.
- That scene on the lawn had to be the worst representation of a TV news cameraperson I've ever seen on television. Most of the ones I've met would've gone Terry Tate on Cuddy's hubby there.
- In the battle of Cy vs. Olivia, it seems Fitz came out the winner.
- Aside from that "You ruined me" nonsense on the phone, of course. That did not get a good reaction on Twitter.
- Sooo, Huck and Quinn (or as @OneChele memorably put it, #HuckleberryQuinn). A riff on "bad boy/good girl" 'shippings?
- Speaking of Quinn, not looking good for her next week, based on that final scene.
- So am I right in guessing that the hidden camera Ballard set up goes back to Fitz's private viewing room? (Which, eww.)
Last night's show was horrible and I wonder to myself if I only watch this show now to break it down like the lovely people here on this blog!
What I hate most about the way Shonda's writers work nowadays are that the "case of the week" stories are so unsubtle, it so obvious how they apply to the lives of the main characters. So when Olivia was speaking to the wife about "making a decision you thought was right at the time, and he doesn't understand right now but he will one day" (something like that) I was so fuelled by so much anger. This attempt to legitimize what Olivia and Fitz have with a complete oversight on how extremely unhealthy and emotionally/mentally violent this relationship is, especially on Olivia.
Yes, strong characters/people are flawed, none of us are perfect. We all have difficult hurdles, even in the most healthiest/calmest of relationships. But this is not right. Olivia's character is like a channel of self-blame and excuses, and Fitz is a major abuser of power beyond just being President.

Ballard's smirk and smile in that scene in Olivia's living room was beyond creepy. The whole thing makes my skin crawl.
Speaking of Ballard, I understand that Olivia is supposed to have bad taste in men – but when Ballard shows up at her door with those bruises on his face and tells her that he was "mugged" she should've jumped all over that. He's an intelligence operative with extensive military training – and he got mugged? C'mon.
And, if Ballard was smiling for Fitz – why was he so worried about that camerman getting pictures of him and Olivia together. I thought it was because he didn't want Fitz to know that he was doing more than spying on Liv, but now I'm not so sure.
I am waiting for the season where Fitz is up for re-election and Liv takes him DOWN (please oh please let them take the show in this direction). He's worried about being ruined politically, while she's worried about being ruined emotionally (from my perspective). He may not care now, but he will when he's watching as someone else is sworn in as president.

I figured it was because of the information with the mole. If anyone found out that Liv & co. ratted on the director of the CIA she'd be in danger, and Ballard couldn't take that chance.
I don't think she's dumb enough to believe that he got mugged, but considering all the bad romantic decision she's been making I'm not going to put all my faith in it.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1164481042 Mieko Gavia
I actually thought that speech wasn't making what they'd done ok, it was making it ok for both Liv and that woman to forgive themselves and move on. They made mistakes, they thought it was right at the time, but they were wrong and it upended their lives. But they have to keep going, even if the other person doesn't forgive them.
Liv, drop Fitz forever. He's a big baby loser whiner harasser abuser. And not just to you. How he's going to twist America's baby is very, very sad.
Liv, drop that Captain. He's a killer plus 100% creepy. Smirking into his own surveillance cameras, seated in Liv's living room — just — eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. When is Huck going to do a sweep?
Liv, your advice to the parents about Annie's parentage is awful. She has every right to know who her biological father is. Your obsessing on not just one but two unworthies is really frackin' up your judgment here. Also, your face during that long close-up advice that concludes with, "learn to forgive yourself?" — it was nothing but one hideous grimace from start to finish. It's all coming apart and you're part of it. A huge part of it. Because you were a huge part of stealing an election. That's at best a very big crime — treason to the American voters.
Also Liv — gone so long? I forgot about you.
Nah. It's all about Ballard. He's a Baddie, through and through. See above: smirking into surveillance cameras. Huck is gonna have his work cut out for him to save Liv from this bastard.
Nothing to add except that it would be a fucking privilege to watch Scandal with all you Racialicious folk.

Nice little moment when client Cuddy thought that of course Olivia Pope was the white Abby. Very small moment.

The 7 Software Development Wastes - Lean Series Part 1 - In-Process Inventory
The more I learn about Lean, the more I realize how much we can learn from Lean teachings and how they apply to software development practices. Typically, we go about our day-to-day activities without thinking about the bigger picture. Lean specifically addresses the complete end-to-end process with the view of enhancing cycle time and quality.
Value stream mapping is one of the key areas for helping us learn where we fail, but in particular, what I'd like to address in the next series of posts are the 7 wastes which Lean identifies and which I believe are worth mentioning. Once you hear about these wastes I believe you will be more sensitive to realizing when you see these manifested in your organization and should therefore help you to enhance the overall productivity of your teams.
Mary and Tom Poppendiek are two of the thought leaders in applying Lean to software development and I would highly recommend that you buy their books or attend their courses. Mary in particular is inspirational and their knowledge in this space is profound.
7 Manufacturing Wastes
The 7 manufacturing wastes identified by Shigeo Shingo (from his studies of the Toyota production system) are listed below:
In-process Inventory
Extra Processing
Corresponding 7 Software Development Wastes
The 7 corresponding wastes in software development as defined by Mary and Tom Poppendiek are:
Partially done work
Extra Features
Task Switching
Today I'd like to address the 1st waste - Partially done work
Partially done work (In Process Inventory)
Partially done work is probably the biggest killer of all the wastes. Partially done work is essentially work-in-progress. Until this work is done, you don't know that there are quality issues i.e. you don't know that the customer will be happy. You don't know if there are going to be problems one you deploy your software onto your production systems. So the idea should be to complete work-in-progress as soon as possible i.e. minimize work-in-progress as much as possible. Examples of partially done work are:
* code that is completed but not checked in to your version control system - if it's not checked in, you don't know if your code changes are going to break the build
* undocumented code - If your code is undocumented, if the developer leaves and someone has to take over, there's going to take longer for the developer to get up to speed. Additionally, if bugs are found, it will be harder for the original developer to figure out what he has done.
* untested code (both unit tests and functional tests) - if your code is untested, you won't know till the code is in your customers hands that there is a bug. The further downstream you are in the process the more costly it's going to be to fix the bugs. So if you build quality in from the start (like writing unit tests) you'll find out the moment you execute the tests
* code that exists on your staging environment and not your production environment - I hear this all the time - "works on my machine" - enough said. Only once you're on production can you be sure the software is 100%. Production always surfaces issues, so the sooner you get it on production servers, the better.
* code that is commented out - makes the software less readable and maintainable
My advice to any company doing software development is to figure out how to get things that are in progress fully completed i.e. DONE in accordance with your definition of DONE, as early as possible. Don't put too many items into the development pipe that you know you can't complete in a given Sprint. Consider everything in your definition of Done to be completed in one cycle. Set your quality bar really high. This will help you ship faster, make your customers happier sooner.
Next week I will be going over a second type of waste - Extra Features.
