New Marine Electronics For 2016
By Lenny Rudow
The development of consumer electronics can be summed up with one word: rapid. That tablet you purchased a year ago is a slug compared to the latest and greatest, last month's cellphone seems ancient, and by tomorrow everything from your Blu-ray to your blender is likely to be technologically obsolete. The same can be said for the electronics sitting at the helm of your boat at this very moment. Don't believe it? Just check out the huge crop of new marine electronics that's hitting the market.
Raymarine eS Series
With the newest LightHouse operating system, 7-inch, 9-inch, and 12-inch HybridTouch multifunction displays, and a new type of multifunction rotary controller, Raymarine's eS series replaces the e generation. On the water, we found the rotary control a breeze to use and the latest LightHouse thoroughly intuitive. Wi-Fi, GPS, and fishfinding are all built into its brain, and the eS can be expanded with HD color radar, CHIRP or CHIRP DownVision sonar, IP and thermal cameras, multiple displays, autopilot, digital switching, engine data, and even entertainment systems. These units aren't on the market just yet, but expect to see the 7-inch models starting in April, and the 9-inch and 12-inch units in June. $1,099, $2,299, and $3,499 | www.raymarine.com
FLIR AX8 Thermal Monitoring System
If you have engine-room cameras on your boat, they just became outmoded. FLIR's new AX8 is an engine-room monitoring system that combines a thermal imager with a regular video camera to give you both types of views in the belly of the beast. And it's a vastly superior system, because you can set temperature parameters for up to six different areas. If the camera detects an overheating exhaust elbow or a glitch in the cooling system, alarm bells start ringing. Raymarine MFDs are the only ones carrying the software to make this particular feature happen at the moment, but others are expected to follow soon. $900 | www.flir.com
Humminbird Helix 9, 10, and 12 CHIRP
Helix 9, 10, and 12 CHIRP multifunction displays, from Humminbird, are larger more powerful cousins of the 5 and 7, which debuted last year. As you'd expect, these units pack the full range of fish-finding abilities found on pre-existing models, like Side, Down, and 360-degree Imaging. And chartplotting abilities are also cutting-edge, with AutoChart Live giving you the ability to create your own detailed charts in real-time. But these new versions are also Ethernet-capable units, which can be networked with additional stations or goodies like radar, AIS, and Minn Kota's iPilot link.
Processor speed gets a boost, too, with a 25-percent speed increase over existing Helix models. If you want the heavy artillery, naturally, you have to check out the 12 CHIRP. This unit has built-in sonar with frequency range capabilities of 200/83 kHz, 455/800/50 kHz, and a 28- to 250-kHz CHIRP. As an added bonus, CHIRP bandwidth settings are user-selected, so you can choose where in the frequency range the Helix will sweep. Prices can vary quite a bit depending on size, transducer type, and options; the range starts at $699 for the Helix 9 and goes to $2,299 for the 12 CHIRP. www.humminbird.com
Iris NightRunner2 and NightPilot
The Iris NightRunner camera system has been upgraded and tagged with a "2." Just what additional benefit does this get you? A vastly improved daylight camera with a 10x optical zoom and a 10x digital zoom. Thermal imaging also gets a boost with an upgraded vanadium-oxide thermal core. The camera comes with a housing and control pad that allow for 360-degree rotation and 180-degree tilt. Price for the Nightrunner 2 is $4,995, including the controller.
Also new from Iris is the NightPilot, a gyro-stabilized thermal imager that has an 8x digital zoom. The three-sensor gyro has a tilt range of 140 degrees and has a user-adjustable trim. The 320 x 240 resolution thermal core is U.S.-made, and the color palette can be inverted. $5,000 | www.boat-cameras.com
Simrad Halo Pulse Compression Radar
Remember when Broadband radar came out a few years back? Utilizing a continuous transmission wave as opposed to a microwave pulse, it offered vastly better short-range performance than traditional radar — and still does today. But its Achilles' heel was long-range limitations. Simrad's Halo Pulse Compression Radar eliminates this issue, by combining Broadband's close views and pulse technology's long range in one slick package. On top of that, it has a vastly reduced warm-up time (just 15 to 20 seconds), and the use of a helical gear train and brushless motor mean it's nearly silent as it spins. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the Halo won an NMMA Innovation Award for Electronics at the International Boatbuilders Exhibition and Conference last fall. $4,500 for the 3-foot open array, to $5,500 for the 6-foot open array | www.simrad-yachting.com

Sports names & faces: Allen Iverson, Pat Robertson
Allen Iverson
Milton Nuñez, the president of Dominican Republic professional team Pueblo Nuevo, said the former NBA MVP would be playing for his second-place team starting Sunday. Apparently, Nuñez neglected to tell Iverson about the arrangement. Iverson's manager, Gary Moore, said he was "shocked" by the announcement and that his client is still working out, "waiting for another opportunity." Perhaps Iverson is holding out for more a more lucrative deal. After earning more than $150 million in the NBA, Iverson, 36, is reportedly in financial trouble and embroiled in a messy divorce.
Pat Robertson
The televangelist said if Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning suffers another neck injury "it would serve them right" after the team's treatment of Tim Tebow. Tebow, a devout Christian, was traded to the Jets after the Broncos signed Manning this week. When it comes to football, Robertson seems to believe in karma. "And you just ask yourself, OK, so Peyton Manning was a tremendous MVP quarterback, but he's been injured," he said. "If that injury comes back, Denver will find itself without a quarterback. And in my opinion, it would serve them right."

Filmmaker Mike Kuchar illuminates the zone between heaven and hell with these sensuous new movies:
Soul Surfers
Meat With Bones
and more…..
The vibrant, poetic and wild works of Mike Kuchar have inspired generations of filmmakers and artists with their wickedly perverse parodies of pop-culture and abundant creativity. From early 8 mm films made with his twin brother George Kuchar featuring friends from their Bronx neighbourhood to the underground sci-fi extravaganza Sins of the Fleshapoids 1965, his films take the language of Hollywood and make it so 'overblown it's glorious'. In the 1990s Mike Kuchar embraced video with the same transformative passion that he brought to his early 8 mm films, and created a vast body of work ranging from delirious teleplays to recent digital fantasies, displaying a unique creative sensibility. Relishing the possibilities of the most minuscule budgets his films are radiant and lurid in equal measure, celebrating human creativity with an undiminished passion and humor for over 50 years.

We've done several columns (see list at the end of this column) highlighting some of the detrimental effects related to red blood cell transfusions and the trend toward more restrictive transfusion strategies in many different scenarios.
Several more recent studies have given further credence to the approach of more restrictive transfusion practices. One randomized controlled trial compared the safety and efficacy of a restrictive transfusion strategy to a liberal one in patients with GI bleeding (Villanueva 2013). They found the probability of survival at 6 weeks was higher in the restrictive-strategy group than in the liberal-strategy group. Moreover, the frequency of further bleeding and the frequency of adverse events were lower in the restrictive transfusion strategy group.
A somewhat more controversial topic is that of transfusion in patients with acute MI or acute coronary syndromes and anemia. It is fairly well known that acute MI patients with anemia have poorer outcomes. Another recent systematic review and meta-analysis showed that anemia is independently associated with a significantly increased risk of early and late mortality in acute coronary syndromes (Lawler 2013). That might make one logically imply that interventions to correct anemia (like transfusions) ought to improve mortality. But is that the case? Previous studies have had conflicting conclusions. So Chatterjee and colleagues just did a meta-analysis of studies on the effect of transfusions on mortality in patients with acute MI (Chatterjee 2013). They concluded that blood transfusion or a liberal blood transfusion strategy compared with no blood transfusion or a restricted blood transfusion strategy is associated with higher all-cause mortality rates. The all-cause mortality rate for transfusion during acute MI was 18.2% compared to 10.2% for a no transfusion strategy. But there are numerous limitations in the Chatterjee meta-analysis, as pointed out in the accompanying editorial (Carson 2013). Most importantly, most of the patients in the meta-analysis came from observational studies rather than from randomized controlled trials. A lack of patient level data to provide reasons for transfusion also makes it highly likely that there were multiple confounding factors.
In our April 2012 What's New in the Patient Safety World column "New Transfusion Guidelines from the AABB" we noted that the AABB (formerly the American Association of Blood Banks) had just come out with new clinical guidelines for red blood cell transfusion (Carson 2012). While those guidelines generally call for adhering to a restrictive transfusion strategy (7 to 8 g/dL threshold) for many patients, they could not recommend for or against a liberal or restrictive transfusion threshold for hospitalized, hemodynamically stable patients with the acute coronary syndrome. Bottom line: until we have a large randomized controlled trial we are unlikely to have a definitive answer as to the best transfusion strategy in acute coronary syndromes.
On the other hand, a new study suggests that transfusions may reduce mortality in patients with sever sepsis and septic shock (Park 2012). The authors did a propensity-matched analysis of a prospective observational database in twenty-two medical and surgical intensive care units in 12 teaching hospitals in Korea. Transfused patients had a lower risk of 7-day, 28-day, and in-hospital mortality rates than those not transfused even after adjustment for other variables.
The newly updated Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines for management of severe sepsis and septic shock (Dellinger 2013) do mention use of transfusion in early goal-directed resuscitation protocols that use a target hematocrit of 30% in patients with low Scvo2 during the first 6 hrs of resuscitation of septic shock. But once tissue hypoperfusion has resolved and in the absence of extenuating circumstances, such as myocardial ischemia, severe hypoxemia, acute hemorrhage, or ischemic coronary artery disease, they recommend that red blood cell transfusion occur when the hemoglobin concentration decreases to < 7.0 g/dL to target a hemoglobin concentration of 7.0 to 9.0 g/dL in adults

Boston Newspaper Guild "Encouraged" by Idea of Sale of 'Boston Globe'
Strupp, Joe, Editor & Publisher
The Boston Newspaper Guild says it is "encouraged" that The New York Times Company is seeking to sell The Boston Globe, but is requesting to meet with any potential buyers, according to a statement from Guild President Dan Totten.
Totten issued the statement late Wednesday, which adds that a sale similar to that of the Blethen Maine Newspapers, which included an employee ownership provision, would be favored.
The statement follows Monday's close guild rejection of a concession package that included an 8.3% salary cut, a week-long furlough and other givebacks. The Times has since said it plans to implement a 23% salary reduction.
Totten's statement is below:
"The Boston Newspaper Guild is reiterating its call, which it made at the early stages of negotiations with the New York Times Company, to meet with any potential buyers of the Boston Globe to discuss our contract, and the future of the Globe and Guild members. …

While it is true that planting more trees will help in the short term because they essentially soak up carbon, they also release carbon dioxide when they die. So it just postpones the problem.

Go organic
Even with our vast reservoir of scientific knowledge about farming, most American farmers still spray a billion pounds of pesticides to protect crops each year.

And then there were six.
Last week at this time, I was reminiscing over the beginning of the season, how well the Canadiens had managed to keep the wheels in motion, and the great turn-around they made in January after the December slump.
My how 7 days can change the landscape that surrounds us.
As promised in last weeks post, I continue to look forward at the week, and the 3 matches that face the Canadiens on a team by team, game by game scenario. But before looking ahead, looking back to the last 3 outings is imperative to knowing what will need to be corrected for success between now and Saturday.
Since cruising out of Minnesota after a luxurious goal scoring outing, the teams offensive luster has come to a grinding halt. Not since Tom Pyatt scored the teams 8th goal of the game at the 13:55 mark of the third period, has a single Habs puck found the back of the oppositions net.
Frustration isn't just mounting with fans across Habs Nation – which was more than evident by the "boo factor" uttered from the Bell Center stands on Saturday night. It was also evident on the faces of the players.
But the issue, in my humble opinion, is not as complex as some might make it out to be.
Les Boys need to get back to what made them a success all season to this point. They know they are a small team that has great speed. They know they are great when they clutter up the neutral zone, and chip the puck in deep, chasing it into the corners. They know with accurate passing, tape to tape magic; they can cycle low and control the offensive zone. If you read back on all my posts, I'm quite sure you'll think I sound like a broken record.
But it gets said time and time again, because it's the truth. It's the formula that makes this team successful, and they have dropped the ball as of late, failing to stay within that game plan.
All week we watched a squad play against sizable teams by trying to match them with size that they don't have. The result was proof enough that they need to get back to utilizing their strengths.
I have watched hi-lights to no end this week, and find myself suffering the same fate over and over again. A burning desire to curse, and in general – an upset stomach. It's painful to watch.
The team remains undisciplined. They continue to send player after player to the penalty box, and force themselves to play short-handed.
When they are fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of a penalty call, the powerplay looks pathetic. Wisniewski and Hamrlik continue to make errant passes across the top of the blue line, resulting in one of them chasing a puck back into the neutral zone, losing any momentum they may have gained during the PP.
Gomez, Cammalleri, and Plekanec are all showing the poorest ability to complete a simple tape to tape pass, often resulting in turnovers. Those in turn become scoring opportunities (if not goals) for the opposing team.
Mara, Gill, and Sopel have been feathering the puck in attempts to clear the defensive zone which in the end, becomes a turnover and a potential goal.
It's not that this team can't compete. It' just that they aren't competing the way they need to. Stick work has become obsolete, and players are looking for the big hits to take opponents off the puck.
That all has to end tonight, if the Habs are going to gain 2 points, and right the ship that is listing helplessly down the stretch to the playoffs.
So the week ahead looks like this:
- The Atlanta Thrashers: Tuesday night is the teams second last home game, as a failing Thrasher team comes to town.This is a team that once was contending for a top spot in the Eastern Conference that went on two very long slumps, taking them well out of a playoff position. The problem is the mentality that they have going into the 5 game road trip they embark on tonight. They are calling this trip the "2011 Spring Spoiler Tour" (reported in the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution) If that doesn't send a strong message to the Habs tonight … I'm not sure what will. The Canadiens walked into Atlanta at the beginning of the month and secured a 3-1 victory. Tonight is a "must duplicate" game to start the turnaround.
- The Carolina Hurricanes: In yet another back to back outing for le Bleu, Blanc, et Rouge – of which very few have been successful – we head into the RBC center to take on a team who's playoff hopes only remain alive with every win they can acquire in the last remaining games. Montreal has owned the Hurricanes all season (3-0-0), which is something no doubt the home town boys will be looking to avenge on their own ice. It's desperation time for the Canes, who have a game in hand over the Buffalo Sabres – the team they're chasing for eighth spot. Staal, Jokinen, and Skinner all have the ability to make it a tough night as they tend to compete very strongly verses the Canadiens. The question lies in who will get the start between the pipes for Montreal, and if the defense will get back to the shot blocking machine they may need to be in this contest.
- The New Jersey Devils: The Habs have been at the mercy of the Devils on many occasions, and this season has been no different. Martin's squad is 1-2-0 vs the Devils, and has been outscored 8-5 (which included a Jersey shutout). New Jersey has no hopes left to contend for a playoff spot, but that doesn't make them any less dangerous. They are notorious for slowing the Habs pace, and restricting them to few goals. Not something that you want to think about in the middle of a scoring slump. Hope will have it that many a puck will find the back of the net for the Canadiens before this match-up. Confidence going into this game will be paramount – regardless of outstanding play by Carey Price – which is expected.
So hope reigns eternal that by Saturday night, none of us will be looking back on a week that "could have been", but instead are looking back at the week that "was".
Tonight will set the tone for that week, and an early goal is almost a must. This franchise doesn't want to do what it did last year, and wait till the last game of the season to secure a playoff position. What they need is to secure it now, and build that ever important momentum for what will surely be a tough grind in the post season.

I have this friend, a Jesuit, with whom I love to argue. One day, after reading about Sandy Hook, I asked why his god would allow such things. It was a childish question. I am not a Christian. I'd decided that if there were a god, he was at best indifferent and at worst, actively cruel. I'd long decided not to have these conversations with people, especially with those people to whom Christ was a central aspect of their lives. But I was angry. I was confused.
My friend told me that God was looking for saints.
That rocked me a little. On one hand, it confirmed my thoughts on God, that he was vicious and mean. On the other, it struck me that this was a canny way to see who would rise to the top.
Then my friend told me that most saints went completely unrecognized.
That shut me up for a long time. I went home and I thought. I spun around the concept of sainthood. I tried to make sense of the whole thing. I thought about what made a person a saint.
My friend, the Jesuit, told me that saints work to change the world one person at a time. I spent a lot of time thinking of the reasons someone would do that. For me, it was as much about making amends. In my life, I've committed a lot of what can only be called sins, and there have been many people who reached into my life and changed the world.
As part of my recovery, I have learned that making amends is imperative. I cannot go back and erase the pain I've caused. Some of the people against whom I have sinned are dead. Others, it would only cause more pain. For the most part though, I have apologized and come to terms with most of the people I've hurt.
Saying I'm sorry, though, for me, is not enough. I've chosen, personally and professionally, to repay the kindness and support of those who changed my life by working with people to help them change theirs.
Service, for me, is a kind of penance. It is my personal road to redemption. I have done this so long that I cannot think of my life in any other terms.
I have talked to the people with whom I work. Some of them do what they do to make them feel better about themselves. Others do it because, in their minds, it only makes sense to eliminate need and pain in order to reduce crime and keep themselves safe. All of these are good reasons to be of service.
For me, though, service is a spiritual exercise. In my life, I see sin as those acts that hurt others. Sin is taking away from the world without maintaining the balance. Part of the reason I do what I do throughout the day is that I feel a weight of gratitude and obligation, but those are not the only reasons.
While I do not believe in the same god as the Christians in my life, I do believe in a spiritual reward and service, that working in the world to tip the balance away from selfishness and self-regard to a more gentle and giving existence is the only sure fire way to redeem myself. We all do things that make life harder for others. It's human nature to meet our own needs first, and sometimes, that harms the people in our lives.
We are animals and we are more than animals. I believe that we have souls and our souls can only be saved through leaving the lives of those around us in better shape than when we found them. It is not altruism. When I can work with a student to see beyond the limits of desire to the needs of the world around them, I fill with a kind of joy and light. I feel lighter. My work redeems me. It makes me feel good. Service, for me, is enlightened self-interest. My personal world and the world around me is better when I am of service. When all I do is take, I feel awkward and angry. Balancing service and self-interest leaves me feeling as if the world is kinder, gentler.
I am not a saint. I take, but I try to give. I try to see the geniuses and the saints when I look at the world. I feel better when I see someone smile. I am not a Christian and I do not define sin the same as Christians, but I do know that life is more dear, more blessed when I maintain a balance. I believe that service, for penance or redemption, for self-interest or simply because it makes sense, is a spiritual exercise. For me, happiness is surrounding myself with people looking for joy instead of the next score.

Stinking Clams Spoiling to Use Gas Warfare; No El Niño or La Niña Leaves Us Le Neutral
PLANET OF THE CLAMS: I had me a great clam and veggie chowder over the weekend. Then, don't I go and read that those same tasty bivalves are out to get us by quietly adding poisonous gases to our already troubled atmosphere. If it's not cows, it's clams. What have they got against us?
Just last week, the BBC (bbc.com) highlighted a study released by elite Euro scientists indicating that clams in the Baltic Sea are emitting as much gas as 20,000 dairy cows. I'm guessing that cow count was somewhat arbitrary, my mind being unable to grasp an actual lab setting using real-time clams and those enumerated cows. Nonetheless, the findings are shocking and palpable: Gas-issuing bottom-dwelling marine life is viciously fouling the air that supports terrestrial lifeforms.
"What is puzzling is that the Baltic Sea makes up only about 0.1 percent of Earth's oceans, implying that globally, apparently harmless bivalve animals at the bottom of the world's oceans may in fact be contributing ridiculous amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere that is unaccounted for," said study co-author Ernest Chi Fru of Cardiff University's School of Earth and Ocean Sciences.
I like any scientist who uses highly technical terminology like ridiculous. "For this hazardous experiment, we'll pour in a ridiculous amount of this-here stuff."
Study co-author Stefano Bonaglia, from Stockholm University, noted, "It sounds funny, but small animals in the seafloor may act like cows in a stable, both groups being important contributors of methane."
This atmosphere-rattling revelation is doubly troubling for those of us near the coast. If nothing else, it adds a whole new and nefarious dimension to those bay smells. To think those odors secretly reek of clandestine gas attacks by once-thought mild-mannered clams. How could we have been so nose blind for so long?
Thinking it through, I'll bet the cow farm those belligerent bivalves know perfectly well what they're doing. Theirs is an orchestrated attack of the atmosphere … from down under.
To me, the clam end-game is obvious: insidiously kill off all above-water lifeforms, freeing up a water-dominated planet to be governed by … clams. Is it destined to become the Planet of the Clams? Even Orwell couldn't have seen this one coming.
While I'm fully up in arms over hostile, passing-wind clams, I must also grudgingly recognize the brilliant diabolicalness of their bubble-based crusade to insidiously poison our atmosphere. It's so hideously brilliant! I knew they were way too quiet down there.
I can't help but think the clams are hellbent on turning the tables on us by making a chowder out of humans – slowly boiling us in a hotter and hotter atmosphere. What kind of sick creatures would boil another creature into a broth!? Come to think of it, maybe we shouldn't overthink that point. Hey, events like the annual Chowderfest are obviously just good, clean fun. Now, it seems, we've been hostilely monitored by nearby bay clams – highly vindictive bay clams. "For those fellow clams we lost today, we shall all loose extra gases! Bubble-up, soldiers. Soon we'll be deciding the top Manhattan man chowder."
Back in Sweden, clam-sniffing scientists have just uncovered the prime gases being deployed from the bivalved enemy below. Singled out are methane and nitrous oxide. Further research shows those gases are being helped along by conspiratorial bacteria in mollusk guts. Yes, it would seem that known-cunning bacteria are also part and parcel of this planetary takeover. Hell, I've never trusted a bacterium any farther than I could throw one. Now this.
I need one and all to note the tactical use of nitrous oxide. It underscores the deviousness and calculated nature of these conquest-driven clams. As they finally move in for the gaseous kill-off of humans, we'll be so gassed up with nitrous oxide that we'll just stand around laughing our asses off.
"Look, Lou, there's clams eating your legs! That's frickin' hilarious! I'm gonna pee myself!"
Not to panic, though. The Swedes have come up with a way for us to fight back. Per the BBC, the researchers plan on panning any and all efforts to farm oysters, mussels and clams.
That's it!? I can see why Sweden steers clear of fighting wars.
Well, hereabouts we won't be going down without a fight. I have the perfect menu to fulfil our noble obligation to save all living land creatures from a clam takeover. My wartime strategy includes, let's see, fried clams, half-shelled clams, clam chowder, clam strips, deviled clams, clams casino, clam pie, clam dip, stuffed clams, clam oreganata, clam cakes …
I see the air quality improving already.
ARRIVAL OF A LE NEUTRAL: What's a Le Neutral? It's the term I came up with on the spur of the moment, spurred on by the lack of either an El Niño or a La Niña this fall.
As you know, both El Niño and La Niña heavily impact how our winters fly. El Niño leads the way when it comes to biting cold and blizzards. La Niña is far more ladylike, often mothering mild winters, though still willing to have bitch-fits of savage storminess.
But what happens when those two heavy-hitters are missing? Yep, Le Neutral, which is just what the big-picture weather folks see as the latest likelihood for this winter. There is a 55 percent chance of neutrality winning over this winter.
But what does that mean in terms of, well, what it means? It's complicated.
Weather record books offer a myriad of rather predictable and recurrent effects from El Niños and La Niñas. Not so much for Le Neutrals. One school of neutral thinking sees Le Neutral allowing arctic jet streams to slip southward, out of Canada, with impunity. That leads to bitter cold in the Midwest, usually carrying eastward, across the Northeast. That same neutral thinking suggests rainy and stormy times in the Southeast, as the cold dry air to the north holds wet storm systems to the south, the Carolinas being a demarcation line.
I now get to step in with my Mannly forecast, which, percentage-wise, is right up there with top meteorologists, soothsayers and tarot cards. I agree with the notion of a neutral winter being highlighted by icy polar jet streams sinking south, unencumbered. However, being a Jerseyan, I'm compelled to micromanage the forecast by taking an atlas shot at just how far south the icy jet streams will trend. For us, it's essential to pinpoint the demarcation line twixt frigidity (north) and storminess (south).
To predict where the demarcation line will generally settle, I'll cater to my preoccupation with increasing ocean water surface temperatures, as they affect the weather. With the oceanic warmup in mind, I soothsayingly suggest that the milder sea surface along the Eastern Seaboard might prevent the cold-air demarcation line from moving as far south as it might have in cooler-ocean days past. Even a slight stall in the southward drop of arctic air and we're instantly on the milder side of winter – albeit a wet and windy side, all rain locally.
In a mild-side scenario, we'd still be on the cuff of frigidity. It wouldn't take much of a weather vacillation to turn wetness into whiteness. This is great news for snow resorts as close by as North Jersey, the Poconos and the Forked River Mountains. Yes, just that close.
MANN OVERBOARD VS. BLACK FLIES: For weeks, I was ferociously and relentlessly put upon by black flies, technically stable flies. They harassed me to hell and back, most despicably as I stood at the water's edge, trying to happily fish.
Eventually, the flies pushed me over the edge. I was driven to violate the Geneva Convention by resorting to chemical warfare. I bought cans of "No Prisoners" bug spray, settling on the most toxic stuff. I was loading for bear.
Now, you might be thinking: "What's the big deal about spraying chemicals to stave off biting bugs?" You obviously missed my subtle change in chemicals. I was abandoning laughably ineffectual insect repellents. Screw trying to merely repel. I was now out to kill … personal-like.
Armed with a locked and loaded can of industrial-strength killer spray, I spurned all thoughts of fishing and other such dawdling recreational activities. This was war. With unadulterated vengeance in mind, I stepped from my truck and onto the warzone sand, my finger coolly resting atop the can's red spray valve. "Bring it on!" I whispered.
In nothing flat, the first flurry of black flies arrived. I cinematically greeted them: "Say hello to my little friend!" Pffffssssstttt! Take that … and that … and that!
There was no impact whatsoever on the flies. The stuff was about as effective as Trump threats aimed at Kim Jong-un.
In less than a minute, my "Say hello to my little friend!" slowly morphed into a truly feeble "Aw, come on, you can't be serious!" Entire squadrons of those biting bastards imperviously took direct spray hits from my can o' death.
"This stuff could kill an elephant," I finally yelled, to which the flies began making little elephant sounds.
I ignobly retreated into my truck, recognizing there is no black fly-acide, acknowledging the one thing that will still be freely flying around in the wake of a nuclear attack.
RUNDOWN: Finally, it's the rise of fall, and I'm a fan. Bring on the fresh west winds, the chilled a.m. air and the blown-smooth ocean. As to that finally-flat ocean, we saw almost seven weeks of nonstop waveacious surf. While there are no such records kept, that was some sort of highwater mark for such hard-hitting wave action.
With the autumnal chill comes the thrill of surfcasting, hopefully. Some slammer blues have been touching down in the suds of Ship Bottom, along with the north end.
A few to-be-expected stripers have also hit the scales. These are likely resident fish. With water temps still in the upper 60s, a rush of our much-ballyhooed seasonal trophy bass has yet to begin with any authority.
A better read on what's in the angling mix should be had as the calmer seas and dropping winds attract both beach and boat anglers, especially by week's end.
I offer a more updated, every-other-day read on what's a-hook at my website,fishlbi.com.
COOL CLASSIC: The famed Long Beach Island Surf Fishing Classic is underway, with weeks on end to go – clear into December. It's a must-do contest for anyone with even a distant feel for fishing. What's more, it could pay off nicely in the end, even for a smaller fish. See the details at lbift.com.
There are 580 sign-ups for the Classic, but I know of quite a few "regulars" not yet entered. Get on the stick! What's more, persuade any on-the-cuff folks to sign up.
If ever there was a year when anyone, anywhere on LBI, can win big, it's this year. We've already seen weigh-in bluefish caught in Ship Bottom. That venue shows off-Islanders can simply pull onto the Island and commence to surfcasting, post haste.
By the same token, a drive to the north end will allow non-buggyists to tap into the Barnegat Light South Jetty action, allowing easy access to some of the biggest fish LBI has to offer.
If Barnegat Inlet jetty fishing there, make sure you first have a game plan – a safe rock route – to haul a big hookup out of the water. We've had many an angler go down, a couple even needing water rescues.

Presently in the Riviera Nayarit we are rewarded with the gorgeous riot of pink and yellow blooms on the primavera trees, members of the Bignoniaceae and Tabebuia families. The clusters of flowers are in stark contrast with the bare branches that will leaf out after the blooming finishes, usually in the rainy season.
These tropical trees originate in South America where it is the national flower for Brazil and Venezuela. Primavera is a large rainforest canopy tree, sometimes reaching to 100 feet (30 m) in the natural rainforest, with a straight clear bole up to 3 or 4 feet in diameter. It has relatively smooth whitish bark and showy pink or yellow flowers in large panicles-clusters. Primavera is often considered the bat-flower family because many of the plants have large showy flowers that are pollinated by bats.
Primavera Tree1The beautiful flowers grow in clusters of 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) wide, becoming larger and more profuse as the tree matures. These are large trees that require full sun and plenty of space from tall buildings or other trees that might shade them, therefore primavera is an excellent specimen tree for landscaping tropical yards or boulevards as in Guayabitos. They attract bees as well as several species of hummingbirds. The light colored wood of the primavera tree is often referred to as 'white mahogany' and is prized for making fine furniture, according to Wood Magazine. It is very strong, has a medium texture and a very straight grain. Carpenters and finishers call it the perfect wood to work with. As with any tree, the harvesting for lumber is best accomplished when the sap is low, which is easy to determine in northern latitudes with a winter dormant season. But how, in the tropics with continually mild weather, can they tell when the sap is low? It's simple enough to foresters: They watch the moon. Like ocean tides, the sap of the primavera tree follows the phases of the moon. When the moon is on the increase, the sap rises. In the dark phases of the moon, it falls. So that's when the harvest of this unusual tree begins. Another interesting fact is that the primavera tree has no insect pests, a rarity in climate zones that host the majority of insect species.
Primavera Tree2The indigenous people use the bark of some species of Tabebuia trees for medicinal purposes. The bark is dried, shredded and then boiled to make a bitter, sour tasting brown colored tea. This herbal remedy is typically used during the cold and flu season, as it is a good expectorant. However, not all species are medically beneficial so one needs to be careful when selecting the bark.
The primavera tree is used in hot weather gardens around the world, especially in regions that have a definite division between dry and wet seasons. One of the earliest spring bloomers, hence its name, primavera bloom time is followed by the magnificent blue jacaranda tree flowering. The primavera tree bloom, just like the northern appearance of tulips, heralds the coming of spring.

-No, it is stored on your user/customer browsers database.
You may want to consider this suggestion:
1. Set all form fields as Not Required so they can submit the form without filling up some other fields.
2. Add an Auto Responder and in the Auto Responder Message settings, add the Edit Link so when they submit, they will receive an email message that contains the edit link of their submission.
The downside of this is that when they submit a form using the edit link, it will be counted as a new submissions.
