"If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles."
—Doug Larson
The recent cooler weather is helping to maintain spring-like fishing conditions. The water has not warmed enough to send fish to deeper and cooler water. This is good news for anglers even if the few windy days we have had did make for some tougher fishing conditions.
The last of our local streams opened this past weekend. Those are the tributaries to Almanor, Butt and Lake Davis. The late opener allows plenty of time for spring spawning rainbows to complete the cycle of regeneration without being interrupted by anglers. The other noteworthy opening this past week is the channel below the powerhouse on Butt Lake.
Lake Almanor
Surface temperatures are holding in the low 60-degree range. There is abundant insect activity and the fish are feeding actively. Spring conditions continue and the fishing is very good right now.
According to Doug Neal of Almanor Fishing Adventures (283-6732) most boats have been trolling while others are mooching and ripping baits closer to shore.
Early in the morning Doug has been running fast-action trolling lures at 2.6 to 2.8 mph. with Pro-Cure Trophy Trout scent. He has been catching fish from near the top all the way down to 35 feet. Doug says the hits have been hard and the fish are fighting hard. By late morning more fish go deeper, especially with the bright sunshine, no wind and a warming surface.
When the action slows down, Doug switches to a chartreuse and silver Sep's Strike Master Dodger with a half crawler and runs deeper, stacking a naked crawler above.
King salmon are taking anchovy tails mooched deep. Try the fishing the Snag, Big Springs or the A-Frame for salmon. You can increase your odds by adding a scent like Pro-Cure Herring Gel to your bait.
The bass spawn has nearly run its course but patient anglers are still finding some on the beds. This is sight fishing, so Polaroid glasses and a careful approach are key.
The east shore seems to be the place to fish with lots of good reports. The west shore is still a bit slow north of Prattville, but look for that to turn around soon.
Speaking of Prattville, the best breakfast on the lake may be at Carol's Camp Prattville Cafe. It's a perfect spot to boat in for an excellent meal.
Butt Lake
Trout continue feeding on hatching insects. Midges are the main attraction. The pond smelt have made their way down from Lake Almanor, providing another abundant food source for the cruising trout.
The bass are still on their beds but the big attraction may be the powerhouse. The channel in front of the powerhouse just opened to fishing this past weekend.
The powerhouse has been running intermittently. When it is running it provides a veritable chum line of feed flushed down from Lake Almanor, mostly pond smelt. This is a big attraction for both the fish and the anglers. Drifting white jigs in the current is an effective way to imitate the pond smelt.
Frenchman Lake
Fishing at Frenchman Lake has been great this past week.
Bill and Stella McGuirk, from Cold Springs, Nev., limited out at Spring Creek last Monday evening using worms with a Pautske salmon egg. Their fish measured 14 to 16 inches each.
Jason, from Chester, age 11, caught his first fish at the Frenchman boat ramp using a Needlefish lure. The fish weighed 1-1/2 pounds and was 16 inches long.
Sakamoto and Yuki Paul recently each caught their limits at Crystal Point using rainbow PowerBait. Their biggest fish weighed about 2 pounds.
The fishing between Spring Creek and Big Cove has also been good. Some catch-and-release fishermen reported catching nine rainbows in that area.
Call Wiggin's Trading Post for the most current fishing conditions at 993-4683.
Lake Davis
The fishing at Davis is good and getting better. Trollers are hooking up using Dick Nite Copper Red Head spoons or Needlefish in Red Dot Frog or Fire Tiger. The best trolling is in the north end of the islands.
Fly anglers are finding feisty rainbows from Eagle Point to Jenkins. The trout are keying on blood midges and flying ants. Damselflies are just around the corner and are probably on the move now in anticipation of the hatch.
Assorted nymphs including blood midges, ice cream cones and orange woolly buggers are all catching fish. Another effective fly is the Jay Fair Wiggle Nymph. Try rusty orange or green.
Bank anglers using PowerBait or nightcrawlers are hooking up at Eagle Point.
Stream fishing
The streams are all open and clear now, except for Mill Creek, which always runs a little off-color well into the summer.
The best fishing on Deer Creek is around Elam Campground where the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has planted lots of hatchery fish. Insect hatches are on the increase with the best dry fly action in the late afternoon and evenings.
Earlier in the day nymphs are producing for fly anglers. Try stoneflies and caddis flies. Be sure to carry some large salmon fly imitations. Deer Creek can produce some very impressive salmon fly hatches in the early season. Trout can throw caution to the wind when these giants of the insect world are on the water.
The North Fork Feather is fishing very well from High Bridge down to Chester. This stretch of the river has been planted recently and there are also plenty of hold-over fish.
Fishing is good on the Middle Fork Feather River. Insect hatches have been strong. Fish are starting to move downstream as the water warms. High stick nymphing with bead-head attractor patterns is the most productive method.
Look for the very large salmon flies in the afternoon. Drift a big dry salmon fly imitation near logs and overhanging brush. Caddis pupae and small stoneflies are also good bets. The best dry fly action is in the evening when the sun is off the water.
Fish plants
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has planted trout in Deer Creek, Hamilton Branch and the North Fork Feather River above Lake Almanor. Hamilton Branch and the North Fork Feather will receive additional plants this week.

Sex: the Electric Fence
Someone sent me a text message asking how I reconcile the last two posts (transmuting karma and tandem sarging).
Easy. Either it's the same guy for both, or it'll be tandem sarging with last minute resistance (LMR), my specialty. There's a lot to be said for cuddling and hanging out without doing the deed.
On that note, I have pretty much come back around to the view I had a year ago: I have accepted that sex and Erika simply do not mix.
For me, sex is kinda like an electric fence. Fascinating to look at, terrifying to touch. I feel like I get shocked every time I go too close.
I know exactly how to get myself out of this quagmire: be with a guy who realizes that when we have sex, I'm going to have a shock/trauma response, and who is willing to be present enough and stable enough to help me become desensitized to the stimulus.
Does such a man exist? He would be giving me the greatest gift of my life. I would also be giving him the greatest gift of his life. Among other things, my access to the subtle realms creates a whole new level of connection and intimacy that most people have never yet experienced.
But I do not know if there is any man out there who has the kind of emotional strength I am talking about. A man who has the presence and strength to help me transmute the electric fence into a veil and a whisper so we can walk through it to each other.
(And, yes, I realize that nothing outside myself will save me. I'm articulating my vision of the man I want to be with so that my inner self will have the clarity and awareness to match that vision.)
Speaking of which, I have been reflecting a lot on Gayla's concern about the statement "we are not responsible for each other's feelings." At one level, I do still believe this is a helpful statement. All of us are coming together with past karma that triggers feelings in us, and it's not helpful to feel guilty about someone else's feelings or blame someone for our own. But at another level, we are all responsible for everyone's feelings. Deep down, we know the kinds of things that are going to trigger pain for other people -- dishonesty, for example.
How rewarding it would be if all of us reached deeper inside ourselves to find ways to spread gentleness and help each other.
And as for a potential partner, you better believe I expect him to stay present with me and cherish my feelings until I feel better. If I'm in pain, I don't expect him to "fix" it, but I definitely expect compassion and his best efforts to give me what I want and need. Wouldn't he want the same from me? How else can we possibly have a solid and meaningful relationship?

Hi Erika,
I love your ideas and expression. Please let me know if you do something special to get in the mood for writing!
I do want to ask though, what does tandem sarging mean to you? I looked up sarging, got that, but from your last post I'm a little lost as to what you would specifically do in Las Vegas. I know a guy I could refer you to... but I don't know what you mean...
Lisa - December 3, 2009 at 6:17 PM
Sex isn't that big of a deal unless you make it out to be. It really is just nothing.
- December 3, 2009 at 6:31 PM
- Erika said...
At one level, you are right, Anonymous. It is nothing.
At another level, the body is a metaphor. So sex is the symbol of union (the transcendence of the dualism of masculine and feminine). Seen that way, it's a very big deal.
Lisa, I'm mostly talking about connecting as a team. Does that help? - December 3, 2009 at 6:38 PM
There are men out there who will love you enough to walk you through this fear and pain to bliss. :-) You already own your fear so have faith that your honesty and openness will carry you through.
- December 3, 2009 at 7:08 PM
Yeah, sex is just something that just happens. If people go looking for it, they are really looking for lack of themselves.
- December 4, 2009 at 5:36 AM
You're trying to control everything.
In the words of Tyler Durden, "just let go" - December 4, 2009 at 5:56 PM
Hey Erika,
I'm so feeling you girl.
This wasn't obvious to me, congruent in me, let's say, until a conversation this week with a friend... about what "AWAKENING" means. And how EFT benefits the process...
My own intimacy and sex have been riddled with so much turmoil and also blessed with blissful triumphs...
My version of it is to say, that sexual intimacy brings up an almost instant split... My body is saying yes often... which is wonderful natural liberating, a non issue yet, even though my body says yes, my mind has been for YEARS, not present and fully at peace, fully a yes... my mind has been elsewhere and my heart also elsewhere... and it's not because the "sex" was bad...
People who do not have these divisions have no problem enjoying casual sex among friends... it really is NO PROBLEM... and they experience, from what I gather, the sense that I have peeked at and into... an ease in saying I love you this moment and I desire you and it feels good to be with you, my friend... Thank you for giving me pleasure.
(to be continued in next comment) - December 4, 2009 at 6:15 PM
When this split sits there, it needs a kind of no nonsense healing... to dive into the depths of it and stay present... so, in a sense, if a woman has this path for herself, she is looking for a lover who accepts the responsibility of triggering places in her that need healing... for himself, he has to prove that he has the fortitude and power and courage to connect with the illusions inside of her and support her in allowing them to dissolve for good! In this, he is her ally in her journey to awaken... The same goes for many men... They need the same from their partner...
Awakening simply means to be able to be present without the past or future riding your your ass like a tax collector looking for blood money.
The more awake I am, the less emotionally pulled I am this way and that way... In fact, if I get it now, there is no emotional entrenchment and stickiness of an awakened person.
People who are numb to their sexual pain are not awake... people who have none to work with may be awake as far as their sexual stuff is concerned but they may be completely suffering somewhere else...
I know this is probably already understood and I also know at times when things are stirred up for me, it can be hard to see the ground, the real ground of my being... So, I'm saying this to anchor in what it seems to me you are truly looking for, which is someone to be already present enough to support you to dive deeply into the unhealed and dark wounds as you heal and awaken... rather than to look for and find someone who seems present and healed or a healer who is still so caught up in their own pain that all they do is activate and trigger and stir things up and then bail because they can't help it.
This is not "FIXING" you. It is a profound honor for someone to be the one who stays present with you and with himself while the emotional power of these distractions are drained of their hold on you and who supports you to be the awakened being that you be. It's a noble journey.
As the woman, I have to discern who the being is who can stand his ground in the face of whatever comes up... and also stay dialed in while what he has opened in me goes through its cycles...
He's not required to hold my hand the entire time but to hold a presence of attention whether we are together or not... this is not considered a bonus, it's essential... and as I said before, if the best person possible is the one we'd choose, he'd consider it an honor and a pleasure to be there with you... and he'd cut through also whatever he has to cut through or dissolve or whatever the case may be...
He is real Erika... everywhere there are men who can hold some piece of this man for you... so you can get him through pieces and parts or you can have him as this one person. He won't be the only one to support your awakening... It still requires a whole cast of characters and community and teachers and experiences... but you do not have to doubt that there is this holy relationship for you... This much I know for sure. - December 4, 2009 at 6:15 PM
I'm still not sure. Does that mean you sit at the bar, smile at guys, and invite them to approach you, while your friend hits on nearby girls (at the same venue)?
Lisa - December 4, 2009 at 6:32 PM
- Erika said...
It can mean different things in different situations, but no, it generally means the guy and the girl hit on girls together, as a team. - December 4, 2009 at 7:07 PM

What are parents to do if their child tells them that he is being bullied?
- First, listen; gauge the seriousness of the incident and whether there is a history of such bullying.
- Then find out what has been tried and work out options with your child - such as being more assertive, avoiding people and places, and seeking help through the school.
- It is tempting to confront the bully's parents or even the bully. Don't. It seldom pays and commonly makes matters works. When bullying occurs at school, work through your teacher and principal.
- When help is needed, call on the school. It has the prime responsibility for keeping students safe. Schools can help, especially if parents work closely with them.1
One of the most important things that a parent can do in this situation is to talk with your child. Tell your child that you are concerned and that you'd like to help. Here are some questions that can get the discussion going:
- I'm worried about you. Are there any kids at school who may be picking on you or bullying you?
- Are there any kids at school who tease you in a mean way?
- Are there any kids at school who leave you out or exclude you on purpose?
Sometimes, more subtle questions are needed:
- Do you have any special friends at school this year? Who are they? Who do you hang out with?
- Who do you sit with at lunch and on the bus?
- Are there any kids at school who you really don't like? Why don't you like them? Do they ever pick on you or leave you out of things?
It is also important that parents talk with staff at school. Share your concerns about your child and ask the teacher such questions as:
- How does my child get along with other students in his or her class?
- With whom does he or she spend free time?
- Have you noticed or have you ever suspected that my child is bullied by other students? Give examples of some ways that children can be bullied to be sure that the teacher is not focusing only on one kind of bullying (such as physical bullying).2

Excellent full frame cameraThis review is from: Canon EOS 6D (8035B009) Black Approx. 20.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 24-105mm IS Lens Pros: Excellent full frame camera. Overall grip and handling is superb. Weight is acceptable, and it can be held by one hand. Of course, if you're using those massive L lenses then even two hands won't be enough to hold those lenses comfortably. The 6D is a solid performer in daylight and lowlight. It can handle high ISOs without any issues. We're talking about 25000+ ISOs here. Of course this will also vary in your lens. Those wide aperture L lenses will provide you enough light in lowlight. The 6D also takes great video movies, though I haven't tested that feature fully because I'm more into photography. Cons: * Video is susceptible to Moire patterns Did you find this review helpful? |
This review is from: Canon EOS 6D (8035B002) Black Approx. 20.2 MP Digital SLR Camera - Body Only Pros: The full-frame has allowed me to make some macro shots that were not possible with other cameras due to the increased depth of field. GPS is a great feature. Cons: GPS causes the battery life to be shortened, but I'll just have to keep an eye on battery level. Other Thoughts: A beautifully made camera. I would have liked the LCD screen to be tiltable like it is on the 60D. Did you find this review helpful? |
This review is from: Canon EOS 6D (8035B002) Black Approx. 20.2 MP Digital SLR Camera - Body Only Pros: Performs incredibly well, with all the bells and whistles. Images are superb, processor is fast, and the HD video functionality is excellent. Wireless capabilities and built in HDR are nice new features. Cons: Can't record video through the wifi utility, despite having live view. Other Thoughts: Probably the best affordable full frame DSLR out there Did you find this review helpful? |
Very good low light cameraThis review is from: Canon EOS 6D (8035B002) Black Approx. 20.2 MP Digital SLR Camera - Body Only Pros: Picture quality, low light use, good price, full frame Cons: Only 11 AF points, SD card with only 1 slot. No CF card like 5D mk3 Other Thoughts: My first full frame. Previous I had 40D for 4 years, just bought the 6D and I am very happy with my choice. Very good pictures inside without the flash, full frame with the latest processor. Nice to have WiFi built-in and use your smartphone to take pictures. Did you find this review helpful? |

> 1) /usr/bin/time prog : this includes all the communcation, i/o , > loading overhead etc I always push users to do this, first. those overheads may seem irrelevant, but since you cannot avoid them, it is most honest to include them. > 2) include start_time , end_time code in the program : this won't > include the communication , i/o , loading etc overhead. I find that mature codes usually have timing built in for various phases of their execution. users who know how to use the code will be familiar with what the phases mean, why they change with different configurations, etc. personally, I would use gettimeofday if I wanted to do measurements of small sections of code. overhead is fairly low and resolution is microseconds. if you're trying to measure something which only takes microsecond, or for which a syscall's overhead is too high, you probably need to do something radically different anyway. here are two useful functions I use a lot: #include <sys/time.h> double gtod() { struct timeval tv; gettimeofday(&tv,0); return tv.tv_sec + 1e-6 * tv.tv_usec; } typedef unsigned long long u64; static inline u64 rdtsc() { u64 tsc; __asm__ __volatile__("rdtsc" : "=A" (tsc)); return tsc; } > what method is usually used ? thanks ultimately, what matters is how long it takes you to get a result. that's an end-to-end kind of measure, not a micro-measurement, which is why "time myjob" is the best. actually, most parallel environments have a queueing system, and it almost certainly already does job timing, so you only need to get the info. regards, mark hahn.

People were friendly.
Service was awful. Room wasn't clean, was not pleasant at all.
The wifi didn't work and I didnt get an assistance after calling the front desk
Beds were very confortable
The breakfast
very clean- good value Breakfast was very good
Really clean and right off the interstate, but not loud. Gas station, Whataburger, and BBQ joint all across the street. Easy for a traveller.
It's good for one night sleep over
Could you some renovation
Clean, affordable, and next to Whataburger.
Shower not so great. Staff did not feel very welcoming. One of the lights in our room didn't work.
The room was excellent, wonderful hotel!
It could have soda and things to eat coin machines.
My minimal interaction with the maintenance man was pleasant enough. He was friendly and cheerful.
My toilet overflowed as soon as we got there. They didn't want to move us until I threatened to take action for a full refund. Then, the bathroom light didn't work. The front desk was not helpful and made it seem like they were being bothered when I called. And the housekeeping manager was rude and also seemed to be bothered when she had to do her job.
The staff is very friendly. Is a good place for the price that you pay.
The rooms may be cleaner
Staff was very nice and helpful. Room was very clean, great house keeping.
The rooms were clean and the breakfast was good for our family.
The morning front desk staff was not helpful at all. Esmerelda in particular was very uncourteous. The pool was not open on time and she just kept telling us "in ten minutes" for almost an hour. We wasted valuable vacation time that could have been spent elsewhere. We will never stay at this location again.
Breakfast was good
didn't like light from outside in the room during night time- there was no privacy due to the light from outside. Need thick curtain to ward off light from outside in the night time.
Easy on/off for the expressway. Decent breakfast. Liked the Texas-shaped waffle iron.
Small outdoor swimming pool!
This was a family trip and this Econo-lidge was perfect. There were lots of family's around, the hotel was clean, the lobby it homey and pretty, the staff extremely friendly. I would definitely stay here again.
The beds were awesome really clean. The price is what my husband liked..... Great location to downtown just a couple miles away.
Hot water
Bath room to old They do not take care of things an the rooms it's not good . Need to fix things Take to long at front deask to help you.
Very clean and comfortable, good breakfast.
Easy freeway access.
The bug bites. The tiles, paint and wall paper pealing off the walls. But, mostly, the bug bites.
My personal experience had to do with leaving hotel after check out to catch flight home. The front desk called a couple times for me a cab, but none showed up. So the Econolodge maintainance guy offered to take me in his personal car! I gladly gave him $30 for his help and this action definitely made me believe that the staff can make or break someone's outlook of an establishment.
Easy access
Bed was terrible
There wasnt anything that I liked about this hotel
The rooms are very atiquated, the bathrooms are dirty and sheet rock needs to be replaced. The towels needs to be replaced as they are very old and discolored.
breakfast food was good. staff was friendly
the bed was hard as a rock, towels were stained. the breakfast bar was a mess. only one griddle and a long long line for breakfast.
Really nice staff and good for its price.
Location was just okay, not walking distance to major attractions.

Move over, Fox News. Jon Stewart has a new target: deep-dish pizza.
The Daily Show host delivered an epic rant against Chicago-style pizza, calling it "tomato soup in a bread bowl. This is an above-ground marinara swimming pool for rats."
"I don't know whether to eat it or throw a coin in it and make a wish," Stewart continued. "And if I made a wish, it would be that I'd wish for some real f---in' pizza."

External Stakeholder Group Assists TVA with Power Planning
Aug. 31, 2009
TVA has established a group of opinion leaders from across the Tennessee Valley region to provide additional input as TVA charts its options for meeting the region's electricity needs for the next 20 years.
TVA is developing a new Integrated Resource Plan called TVA's Environmental and Energy Future. The plan will outline various sources for producing electricity, their costs and reliability and their potential impacts on the environment.
TVA conducted public meetings in July and August to encourage members of the public to provide input on the various options for generating power. TVA will use that input as it develops a draft IRP for further public comment in early 2010.
In addition, TVA has asked a cross-section of opinion leaders from industry, government, education, environmental groups and distributors of TVA power to share their views and priorities about TVA's power generation plans. The 14-member Stakeholder Review Group will serve as an information source, coordination mechanism and professional review group.
"We appreciate the participation of all members of this external stakeholder team in the important work to develop the IRP," says Randy Johnson, IRP project manager. "Their perspectives will help us create a more inclusive plan by providing real-time public input. We also invite Valley residents and businesses to continue to share their comments through these opinion leaders."
Members of the public can submit written comments to the Stakeholder Review Group. TVA will forward copies of all comments directed to the external stakeholder group to all members of that group.
TVA and the Stakeholder Review Group will occasionally host public comment sessions to receive additional input on specific topics. These sessions will be announced in the news media and posted on the TVA IRP Web site. The minutes of the group's meetings and various presentations also appear on the site.
The following members of the public serve on the group:

The principal objective of this research project is to develop a theoretical and methodological framework for the assessment and quantification of structural robustness and its various indicators. Further optimal and acceptable criteria for robustness based on considerations of risk and rational decision making would be evolved and established for different scenarios. The focus would also be on the design and modelling of relevant measures and guidelines for ensuring and improving robustness levels in new and existing structures. Finally, a probabilistic model code would be created to guide the assessment of robustness of structures during the structural design and assessment/reassessment phases.
This is a large scale collaborative research project under the 7th framework programme (FP7) of the European Commission. The principal aim is to develop generic quantitative risk assessment and management tools and strategies for landslides at local, regional, European and societal scales. Additionally, the other objectives include the establishment of the baseline for the risk associated with landslides in Europe and the improvement of abilities to forecast landslide hazard and detect hazard and risk zones.
This project is part of the European research network COST Action C26 "Urban Habitat Constructions under Catastrophic Events". It aims to evolve and establish a common framework for risk assessment based on the current best knowledge in the field. A critical review of existing frameworks would be carried out first followed by the selection of a suitable and consistent methodology. A detailed case study involving a scenario characterized by different kinds of risk arising from different types of exposures would then be carried out.

Well, it seems like just a few days ago that we released the Lumia 3DK, letting makers on the cutting edge experiment with our 3D models for the Nokia Lumia 820 back shell, and we couldn't be more pleased with the result. The reaction has been fantastic, and we're already seeing some interesting designs showing up on Thingiverse and IdeasProject.
To help those printing at home, the nice folks at Makerbot optimized the model for their Replicator 2 and posted it on Thingiverse, along with some great pictures of the printing process.
We've also gotten great responses from 3D printing services i.materialize, Sculpteo, and Shapeways. The latest blog from i.materialise shows us a nice range of designs to get the creative juices flowing, and shows off materials you might not have imagined for a phone case. Velvet, anybody?
Finally, the IdeasProject team has started the 3D Printing Challenge. Share your ideas for Nokia Lumia cases for a chance to win a trip to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona!
It's been a lot of fun watching all the makers at work. Be sure to check out our wiki, contribute to it where you can, and keep those ideas coming!

TUCSON - Little used, but established by Pima County, the Cat Mountain Trailhead sits on the southwest side of the Tucson Mountains.
The trail goes between two rugged peaks, with Cat Mountain to the right as you approach the trailhead.
Towering over the trail are several saguaro with lots of desert flora flanking the path. Keep an eye out for the beautiful cactus blooms, which should be peaking.
A half-mile in to your hike, hang a right to ascent up the mountain. The trek can be hard to find at times, but rock cairns are in place to help guide the way.
Hiking along the ridgeline gives you great views of the desert floor and all of the mountain ranges surrounding Tucson. The Cat Mountain Trailhead isn't the easiest though. Plan on a 4 mile round-trip hike that nets over a thousand feet in elevation gain.

Residents of Sao Paulo's slums are divided. "It's a relief, it's very quiet now," said an older woman on her way to work.
But another woman carrying her baby said: "Now that it's full of police, I get very scared. I get worried about a shootout or confrontation."
Many argue that when the police leave, things will revert to the brutal status quo unless far-reaching community projects are introduced to improve public access to services like schools and hospital.
"It's not just a question of sending in police," said Joildo Santos, a spokesman for the Paraisopolis Residents Association. "You have to have public works that give young people opportunities, alternatives."

Dr. Matsumoto is a Professor of Radiology and Director of the Division of Angiography, Interventional Radiology, and Special Procedures at the University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville, VA. He is also a member of the Editorial Board of this journal.
The 1970s and 1980s were the glory days for diagnostic radiology. New technological advances in CT, MRI, ultrasound, and interventional radiology were being established. Referring physicians were enamored by our diagnostic studies and interventional procedures. Sure, our work was demanding when we were at the hospital or in the office. However, the lifestyle of a radiologist was pretty enviable; arrive to work at 8 am, leave by 5 pm, rarely disturbed in the middle of the night, lots of vacation time, an excellent income, and not having the primary responsibility for patient care issues. Let's face it, referring physicians were teeing up the golf balls for us to hit.
Times have changed, the pie has shrunk, and the collective medical community will no longer allow us to just hit the ball. If we are going to be players, other referring physicians want us to step up to the tee and absorb some of the paperwork and hassles associated with the process of patient care. In addition, many of our clinical colleagues are being forced into making real-time patient care decisions based on their own interpretation of radiology studies. Therefore, these physicians are requesting that they be reimbursed for their efforts, not an unreasonable request given that they are assuming the legal liability, even if they are not appropriately trained.
So this is where Darwinism comes into play. The fittest and the strongest will survive, and the passive and the meek will not inherit the earth. Unfortunately for us, we as diagnostic radiologists have been so high in the food chain that we have not had to scratch and fight for survival, and we have become passive. Therefore, we have lost some of those primal survival instincts. How then can we minimize our chances of being put out to pasture? As interventional radiologists, we can separate from the main body of diagnostic radiology. Although this model appears to have been successful under the leadership of Dr. Fred Keller at the Charles Dotter Institute, I am unsure whether this paradigm will work for all of us. Keep in mind, splitting off interventional radiology from diagnostic radiology would allow interventional radiologists to become more flexible and adapt to changes more rapidly. There would be a more consistent work ethic and philosophy on how to provide service. However, there can be strength in numbers, if used appropriately. In addition, superior imaging skills have been our trump cards and truly separate us from other medical disciplines.
Well then, what can we do? Although most of us would like to think that decisions are being made for the improvement of patient care, reality can be quite disturbing. Except for doing things for the "right reason," there are really only three great career motivators in life: fear, power/control, and money. The idea of radiologists striking fear into the hearts of our competitors or politicians does not seem realistic at this particular moment. Our cardiology and surgical colleagues, by nature, seem to have more of a killer instinct. Our primary care colleagues have more influence by sheer numbers. Radiologists suffer from their image of being relatively lazy and "fat," and everyone wants and feels that they deserve a piece of "our action."
In terms of power and control, radiologists have very little power or control within the hierarchal system of a hospital. Radiologists bring very little to the table, but rather, feed off other physicians. The way hospital administrators look at things, radiologists generate very little business for the hospital, while being a large money sump for technology and equipment. Indeed, having radiologists in the political hierarchy of hospitals should be the rule of thumb; yet, it is a rarity in some institutions.
What about money? Radiologists have their share of money, but what are they doing with it? How many of you are members of a State or National Radiology Political Action Committee? How many of you actively contribute to political campaigns so you can influence legislation directly? In Virginia, there is still a Certificate of Need (CON) policy. Having said this, the cardiologists have recently been able to carve out the field of nuclear cardiology and bypass the CON policy. How was this accomplished? You got it, through money and political influence.
We, as diagnostic and interventional radiologists, can no longer live with the status quo. The times are changing rapidly. All parties (hospital administrators, the Healthcare Finance Administration, Medicare, and clinicians) see us as an easy target and, therefore, are moving into our neighborhood. Sure, we can be passive and let "the chips fall"; however, many of us do not want to let other disciplines' agendas control us. Since radiologists have very little control over patient referrals, hospital administrators, and legislators, we must use our money, time, and manpower to try to minimize the changes that adversely affect patient care and the field of radiology. I know money is tight, but if your boat, summer house, or golf outing is more important to you, then that's the choice you've made, and the choice with which we and future radiologists must live. However, if you want to try to influence the future of radiology, there are ample opportunities for you to contribute. Become involved in the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology or the American College of Radiology. Contribute to Radiology Political Action Committees, and become more active in the campaigns of local politicians so that you can influence the direction of legislation.
Radiology has been very good to you and your loved ones. Give something back to it! We need your participation at some level. Status quo--no more! This is a call to action. I once saw a quote in the office of the late Dr. Charles Putman that read, "If you are not moving forward, you are moving backward." It is time for us to stop moving backward.

'Walk With Us' Video from Six Nations Musician Carson Williams
The game of lacrosse is of great importance to the people of Six Nations, the Iroquois reservation located west of Lake Ontario, not far from Toronto and Buffalo.
Laurent Gagnier's Box Lacrosse Goalie Manual
It's 1982, in the heat of the Eastern Ontario Division Junior B box lacrosse season. The third-place Gloucester Griffins are playing at the second-place Orillia Lions. That season, the Lions had averaged just under 15 goals a game and had three of the top 10 goal scorers in the division. A 17-year-old goalie got the start and shut them out for the first two periods. Gloucester was up 12-0. As the third period starts Orillia got 4 quick goals, underhand shots from the the right shooter. The goalie ask for water and heads to the bench to get some instruction. The coach to the player: "I don't know! Get in the net and stop the ball!" Gloucester lost the game 14-12.
NLL Goalie Showcase: Nick Rose, Toronto Rock
Nick Rose pays tribute to his father, Tony, by wearing the number 66 on his sweater. As a box player in Orangeville from the late 1970s through the late 1980s, Tony became a standout, helping lead the Senior B program to President's Cup title in 1982, 1983 and 1984. Tony wore the number 6. Nick wanted to wear it, too, but instead wears the double-digits — in a way representing he and his father joined together.

Jeremy Noble: How to Dodge Strong-Handed
University of Denver midfielder Jeremy Noble is an all-around excellent midfielder, but don't let that sell short his offensive prowess.
Still, the Orangeville, Ont., native grew up on the box circuit, so he's a predominantly right-handed player. Still, he's able to get to the goal or into a good feeding position with his right hand because of his skills and knowledge.
Watch as he explains how he dodges to his right hand.
3d Lacrosse Holding Its Second Box Immersion Camp in Canada
3d Lacrosse is holding its second annual Box Immersion Camp in Ontario, Canada, this week. It's a unique and important offering that continues the company's effort to develop individual players to their fullest by providing a hybrid form of instruction, bringing elements of both box lacrosse and field lacrosse to the table.
Stringers Spotlight: Stephen Keogh's Easton Stealth Pt. 2
It's all about the Rochester Knighthawks right now, winners of the 2012 National Lacrosse League Champions Cup in impressive fashion over the Edmonton Rush — a team with the best defense in the league. The Knighthawks rode a tremendous offensive wave in the second half, outscoring the Rush 6-0 in the third quarter to win 9-6. Considering the KHawks were down 5-1 at the half, it was an improbable flurry to steal the game back in front of pro-Rochester crowd of 9,277 raging fans.

Stringers Spotlight: Stephen Keogh's Easton Stealth Pt. 1
In an effort to keep the high-profile stringers coming at you, ILGear.com recently connected with former Syracuse sniper and current Rochester Knighthawks rookie standout Stephen Keogh, the Toronto native who also plays for the Hamilton Nationals of Major League Lacrosse. He's had quite the last couple of weeks, being named to the 2012 NLL All-Rookie team and helping lead the K-Hawks to the Champions Cup, to be held this weekend in Rochester. No matter the outcome, it's been a pretty impressive first year for the Brewster Academy alum.

The Choctaw Library was in a bookmobile until 1978. It moved into a room at the Tri-City Youth and Family Center thanks to the efforts of the Choctaw Library Guild, a non-profit association begun in the early 1970's. Their goal was to start a reading center in Choctaw. In 1982, the Metropolitan Library System upgraded the center to the status of an Extension Library. The Guild recognized the need to expand and undertook to renovate a larger space in the same building. This was completed in October 1985. The Choctaw Library became a full service branch library in 1992. In 1995, the Association incorporated as the Choctaw Library Guild Inc in order to help provide a new building for the library. The library was closed in May 1999 due to tornado damage. Prior to the May 3rd tornado, the Choctaw Library Guild had purchased land, chose Rand Elliott and Associates as the architect and begun raising money for a new building but after the tornado they joined forces with the City of Choctaw to pass a city bond issue in February 2000. The library re-opened in a temporary location in the Choctaw Plaza on July 26, 2000. On January 20, 2004, the library opened in its permanent new home. The City of Choctaw, the Choctaw Library Guild and the Metropolitan Library System worked together to build a new state-of-the-art library building owned by the City of Choctaw. The Choctaw Library Building has won architectural awards for design, that being a Merit Award from the American Institute of Architects, Central States Region. The new library was completed in Spring 2004 and is the pride of Choctaw and all of Eastern Oklahoma County.

Seversky skewers Christianity
I see they're back to the Problem of Evil. Again.
It'll all be Adam (and Eve's) fault for trying a fruit diet. Again.
There'll be no satisfactory explanation of why an omniscient being didn't see it coming a mile off and why an omnipotent being didn't do anything about it. Again.
There'll be no moral justification for punishing not just the original offenders but all their descendants in perpetuity. Again.
There'll be no explanation of why God lied to Adam and no discussion of what that implies for everything else God is reported to have said. Again.
Finally, and much more fundamentally, there will be no discussion of why a necessary being, such as the Christian God must be to be an Uncaused First Cause, would ever create a Universe and populate it with beings with whom he wants to enter into a loving relationship. Again.
A beautiful takedown of Christian theology and apologetics by Seversky @ atbc
Breaking Up With God
ReligionDispatches has an interview with Sarah Sentilles, author of Breaking Up with God. Sentilles says (with my emphasis):
People assume I'm an atheist, but I'm not. I don't know what I am, but if I had to choose a label I'd choose agnostic. When I say that people usually ask me if I think God exists, and I usually give them the answer that my teacher, Gordon Kaufman, used to give me: The question of God's existence isn't the right question because it won't get you very far. It's a question human beings can't answer. If we take God's mystery seriously, then we can never know. I think there are better questions that we can be answering: What does a particular vision of God do to those who submit to it and to those who won't submit to it? What difference is my version of God making? Who is it harming? In one of his books, Kaufman writes, "The central question for theology… is a practical question. How are we to live? To what should we devote ourselves? To what causes give ourselves?" He argues that theology that does not contribute significantly to struggles against inhumanity and injustice has lost sight of its point of being.
I can't know if God exists, but I do know the word God is operating in the world, running around doing all kinds of work, good and bad, and I think, as a theologian, I have a responsibility to think critically about the kinds of gods we make and worship and to try to come up with versions of god that might make the world a more just and life-giving place for everyone.
I do call myself an atheist - because it is clear that Yahweh is as much of a construct as Allah or Zeus or Vishna… But I love what Sentilles says: there are better questions we can be answering - and the universe is a wonderful mystery.

Vermont Comedy Divas
Stuck in Vermont #62
Having trouble watching this video? Click here to see it on YouTube.
1/12/07: Vermont Comedy Divas sold out the ballroom at Higher Ground last Saturday. A line stretched around the building with VTers hungry for comedy and eager for a winter respite.
Four funny female VTers, Josie Leavitt, Martha Tormey, Sally Stevens, and MaryAnne Gatos warmed up the crowd with their tantalizing tales.
Josie Leavitt has been performing stand-up for almost 20 years. She left NYC for VT, opened the Flying Pig Bookstore in Shelburne and began teaching comedy at the Flynn. The divas met in Josie's classes and the seed for a bigger act was planted.
What comes next for these funny ladies? With a state lacking a comedy club and hungry for laughs, the divas future looks bright.


text: khasdorffHello Kay:I just came across your post on the Slick Chick. My father-in-law was John Locke, tail gunner on the Slick Chick from November 1944 until the end of the war. I would like to have a copy of the photo you mentioned. Let me know how I may obtain. Thanks,TomI have a picture dated 1945 taken in Attlebridge, England of the crew standing in front of their plane Slick Chick. The info on the back states: "Taken in Attlebridge, England the day the crew put the 100th mission on 'Slick Chick'". Also are included the crew members' names as follows:S/Sgt Eugene MarceauS/Sgt Leonard VandermastS/Sgt John Locke (Loeke?)Tech Sgt Emil Wenzel (?)Tech Sgt Dwight KinseyS/Sgt Douglas SpaceLt Joseph AlmandLt James Foreit (my Dad)Lt Nathan HallI have read through some of your threads and would like to make this available to others who may be seeking information. I know virtually nothing except what I was told...that my Dad flew missions over Germany from England. My only living uncle tells me this is a B-24 Liberator. Am not sure this is even the right thread, but since it deals with Attlebridge, wanted to give it a shot. If this is not the right place, please excuse me and kindly point me in the right direction. If anyone would like the photo, would be happy to email or pehaps it can be uploaded here? Don't do forums as a rule, so please bear with me. Have tried to research my Dad's military history, but apparently his files were some of those destroyed in the 60's and 70's by fire at the archives. If anyone has info on this plane, crew, missions, etc, would love to have it. Thanks in advance..Kay airforce brat

The new 2013 Ozone C4 Kite has been completely redesigned with progressive newschool & free riders in mind. At the heart of the C4 is an all new generated arc offering a more C-kite feel, without compromising the easy de-power and simple relaunch characteristics of past C4 generations. Although some of the 2013 Ozone C4 Kite changes in design are not obvious to the eye almost everything has changed. The aspect ratio, arc, planform, profiles and sail tensions are all new, further enhancing the ride and feel for progressive unhooked riding. Freeriders will still feel at home on the 2013 Ozone C4 Kite with our Variable Bridle Geometry, giving the option of two kites in one. The Variable Bridle is simple with no lines to add or remove, and takes only a short moment to change. With these two settings the C4 boasts advanced unhooked attributes as well as comfort and easy to reach performance for everyday freeriders. Variable Bridle Geometry settings Free Ride - The Freeride setting offers a lighter bar feel and increased de-power which is perfect for Freeriding and also in the waves. To use this setting simply shift the middle bridle lines to the pigtail knot closest to the leading edge. Each size in the 2013 Ozone C4 Kite line up has been individually refined, we aimed to perfect turning and flight speeds across the board resulting in a more predictable kite when unhooking, kite looping or jumping. The 2013 Ozone C4 Kite is an amazing Newschool & Freeride machine, but as always make sure you get out there and take a test ride to see for yourself.
