Recertification Fees:
When does recertification occur?
When does recertification occur?
Recertification occurs every five years from the year you initially earned your certification or five years after your last recertification.
I have to recertify this year; when do I need to submit my complete recertification application?

How much does recertification cost?
For members, $95 and non-members, $145.
I have multiple NCMA certifications; can I recertify for all of them at the same time?
Those who hold more than one certification will have their recertification date extended to coincide with the second recertification date. Those people will be required to submit one application and pay one fee. Furthermore, 60 CPEs will satisfy the recertification requirements for all NCMA designations held. All certifications must be current (not expired) to be eligible for this option.
What are the requirements for recertification?
A total of 60 hours of instruction, earned over the five-year renewal period is required in order to qualify for recertification.
Recertification candidates must send in:
I can't remember my certification date and/or certification number, how do I find that out?
Candidates can call Customer Service at 800-344-8096 for this information.
How long does the recertification process take?
If the application is complete, the entire recertification application review process can take up 2-4 weeks. During the Certification's busy season (September-March), the review process can take up to 3-8 weeks. If the candidate's application is incomplete or missing information, the process can take longer. The Certification Department will notify those who are missing information via email when their application is reviewed.
I turned in my recertification application well over the stated time and have yet to hear anything, how can I a status on my recertification application?
If you have turned in your recertification application and it has been over six weeks (eight weeks during September-March) and you have not heard from NCMA, please contact Customer Service or the Certification Department at 800-344-8096
I can't make my recertification deadline-can I get an extension?
Candidates who know that they are not going to complete the requirements for recertification can request an extension to the Certification Department. Include in your email, your contact information, and reasons why you cannot meet the eligibility deadline. Please be aware that granting extensions are for extreme circumstances and are NOT guaranteed.
I missed my recertification deadline, how can I reinstate my certification?
For those failing to recertify before the end of the recertification year, NCMA requires the following in order to maintain certified status.
I lost my certificates from NCMA-sponsored conferences, seminars, courses, etc...can I get a transcript from NCMA?
At present, no; though we plan to have this service at some point in the future. If this presents a problem for you in satisfying the CPE requirements for certification or recertification, please contact the Education Department providing as many details as possible; the NCMA staff will work with you to resolve the situation. Certificants asking for information for NCMA events attended after 2003 can contact our meetings department at 800-344-8096 ext. 408 for attendance record information.
I am eligible for Lifetime Certification the same year I am due to recertify; do I need to apply for regular recertification at the same time?
No, you need only to fill out the Lifetime Certification Application and pay the $95 recertification fee once.
What about overseas deployment?
Designees who are deployed overseas may request to the Certification Department that their recertification period be extended if they are deployed on an assignment during which they will be unable to satisfy the 60-hour CPE requirement in the five-year renewal period.
What is the responsibility of the individual Certificant?

*Applications received without payment will be held for only 60 days.

CFCM certificates have to be ordered and will be delivered separately.

The newly appointed Board of Aviation Commissioners (BOAC) for the Salem Municipal Airport met in regular session on Monday, April 27 with all members present. Minutes of previous meetings and all claims were approved unanimously.
As the first item of business, BOAC Attorney Larry Medlock informed the members that they must elect officers, the results of which were: President, Ronny Floyd; Vice-President, Bob Woodward; Secretary/Treasurer, Blaine Shrum. The other two members are Marc Dewees and Danny Habermel. Once the meeting was turned over to Floyd, the BOAC appointed Medlock as its attorney.
Salem Mayor David Bower addressed the BOAC and the audience by saying that a meeting took place between Federal Aviation Administration representatives, himself, representatives of the Salem Common Council and two members of the BOAC in Chicago on Friday April 17. According to Bower, an understanding now exists that will slow down the process of building the new airport facility. Bower also introduced Owen Thompson, owner of the Salem Speedway, saying that a verbal agreement has been worked out between the two for Thompson to lease the existing airport facility for drag racing and the revenue to be used as the local matching funds (estimated at $800,000) for the new airport construction. Thompson confirmed Bower's comments and acknowledged that a meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 30, to develop the written agreement for the lease and option-to-purchase.
The second annual Jinny Scifres Run 4 A Cause 5K, held as a fundraiser for Washington County Memorial Hospital's Relay for Life team, was a huge success. Beautiful weather brought out approximately 120 individuals who ran or walked to raise money for Relay for Life.
"Jinny was such an important part of WCMH for many years," said Janet Hinds, WCMH Oncology Manager. "It is fitting that our signature fundraiser be named after such a wonderful woman."
The 2009 Run/Walk raised over $5,300 dollars for Relay for Life. The top finishers were: Top 3 Male Winners: Jamison Benton, Kenny Hall and Aaron Little. Top 3 Female Winners: Sydney Calhoun, Whitney Malloy and Alexandria Ellingwood.
Next year's Jinny Scifres Run 4 A Cause will be held on Saturday, April 17. If you would like to be put on the mailing list for next year's run/walk, please contact Melissa Richardson, director of Marketing and Public Affairs at
In the 1800's quilting was considered housework. Little bits of fabric stitched together as a household necessity provided warmth to family members. Young girls gathered together to piece a friendship quilt that would be given to the first one married on her wedding day. Quilts were given as gifts for a newborn child. They were stitched together during church socials or during local quilting bees where ladies gathered to sit, sew and gossip. Sadly a quilt was sometimes used to line a coffin or shroud a loved one in death.
Today, quilters are the fabric of a multi-billion dollar industry. From the cotton growers, textile mills, and factories that make everything from needles, pins and thread to scissors, cutting mats, and sewing machines, literally thousands of people are employed in this industry. Quilting is now considered an art that can weave both family and friends together, creating a quilted piece of family history that will be enjoyed by generations to come.
Many now enjoy quilting as a hobby during a long winter of snow and ice. However, as the weather begins to change, spring brings with it a time to begin planning your entries to the Washington County Piecemakers Quilt Show. The 2009 quilt show will be held at the Stevens Memorial Museum in Salem on Saturday June 13 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and Sunday June 14, from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. Entries will be accepted on Tuesday June 9 from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. at the museum. First, second, and third place ribbons will be awarded in the following categories: Honorary, Pieced, Appliqué, Embroidery, Small Quilts, Wall Hangings, Miniatures, Wearables, Miscellaneous (such as placemats, table runners or pillows), and Youth. Additional ribbons will be awarded for Best of Show, Judges Choice, Hand Quilting, and Viewers Choice.

Some of the largest statues in the world are sculptures of the Buddha. Carved out of mountainsides, shaped from natural rock formations, or painstakingly sculpted from different stones that are then put together, huge Buddha statues never fail to leave most people in awe. This was one of the main reasons for making them so large in the first place but it's not the only size shown by the Buddha statue. Smaller statues are actually the norm and this is demonstrated by many Buddhist temples in Asia. Although the largest statue is the centerpiece of the temple, there is typically a number of other, smaller sculptures in various shrines here and there on the temple grounds. The different sizes of the statues make it easier to be reminded of the Buddha and the importance of striving for humility.
The size of the Buddha statue for your garden depends on how you want to display it. If it's going to be the most important of all your resin garden statues, then a large Buddha sculpture is probably the best one to get because such an item tends to take center stage. If you would rather have the Buddha sculpture act as a simple highlight to an Asian-themed garden that also features a large tiger sculpture and other decor, then you probably need medium or small Buddha statues.
Find an assortment of Buddha statues and other religious outdoor statues at Design Toscano.

Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) enables you to use Windows 2000 Professional to connect a small office network or home network with the Internet. ICS provides network address translation (NAT), IP addressing, and name resolution services for all the computers on a small network. This step-by-step article describes how to install ICS on Windows 2000 Professional operating systems.
The following hardware or software is required for this procedure:
How to Install a Second Ethernet Network Adapter to the ICS Host ComputerTo install another Ethernet adapter to the ICS host computer, you must log on as a member of the Administrators group.
How to Configure the ICS Host ComputerThe ICS host computer provides a connection through the second network adapter to the existing TCP/IP network. Log on as member of the Administrators group to set up the ICS host computer.
How to Configure the Windows 2000 ClientLog on as a member of the Administrators group to set up the Windows 2000 Professional clients that will share the Internet.
ICS and Dial-up NetworkingYou can use Dial-up Networking (DUN) to connect to the Internet; however, DUN typically has a lower bandwidth connection to the Internet. This connection is not as useful when multiple computers share the connection. In addition, DUN is not persistent (you have to dial up and make a connection) and can cause initial delays when you connect to hosts on the Internet.

This series is to honor the Heroes of the United States Marine Corps who have been awarded the Nation's highest military honor since its inception.
Established early in the Civil War to "promote efficiency in the Navy", the Medal of Honor rose to prominence in American history and heritage. Fewer than 3,500 Americans have been awarded Medals of Honor, and today only 81 of them survive. These heroes are a vanishing breed whose valiant history MUST be preserved for future generations. That heritage is nurtured and sustained on the ground floor of the Hall of Heroes.
The President of the United States
in the name of
The Congress
takes pleasure in presenting the
Medal of Honor
Rank and Organization: Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps. Born: 28 July 1874, Cambria, Calif. Accredited to: California. G. O. No.: 55, 19 July 1901.
In action with the relief expedition of the Allied forces in China during the battles of 13, 20, 21 and 22 June 1900. Throughout this period and in the presence of the enemy, Phillips distinguished himself by meritorious conduct.

Interchangeable brass and nickel buckles
Sure you have to polish up from time to time, but why do you need a bunch of different dress belts that barely get used? The Double Take gives you more bang for your buck, with two interchangeable buckles, one brass finish and one nickel finish, that swap out easily. The belt is smooth and supple genuine Italian leather, 1-1/4" wide with feathered edges and stitching for a dressier look. Buckles are made from solid zinc-alloy for sturdy long wear that won't ever rust. Looks handsome on a pair of chinos.
Reviewed by 2 customers
Sort by
Best Uses
True to size, attractive enough for dress or casual and well made. Wouldn't mind if it were just a smidge thicker, but overall a great belt; the two buckles give it nice versatility, too.
Best Uses
This is a well made belt. Its a little pricey but I'm willing to pay for quality. I really like the changeable buckle so it will go with my other accessories. Despite the sizing chart, which I followed to the letter, the one I ordered was too small but I'm confident the replacement will fit fine.

Miesha: Coed TUF 'No boys allowed'? - Mixed Martial Arts News
The 18 version of The Ultimate Fighter will for the first time feature women, both as contestants (there will be eight 135-pound male fighters living in the same house as eight 135-pound female fighters) and as coaches.
One coach will be UFC" class="Newslink">UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. The other will be the winner of this weekends fight between Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano.
'Cupcake' Tate recently appeared on Ariel Helwani's "The MMA Hour," and offered some amused thoughts on the series.
"I'm excited for it," said Tate. "I think it's going to be wild. I think it's going to be Real World meets TUF. And I don't know...
"I have this idea - or joke actually - that all the girls are going to be like lesbians or hooking up with all the girls, and all the boys are going on there with hope thinking like, 'we're gonna be the first guys that have chicks on the show and this is going to be awesome.' And the girls are going to be like, 'no boys allowed.'"
Tate went to to related a conversation she had with UFC president Dana White, in which she related that condoms were a must in the fighter's house, as "getting knocked up isn't good for girls' careers."
White agreed, saying, "Yeah, I know, it's worse than getting knocked out."

Thank you for this information. . .something that will be nice to have. . .
You can make it 'force shutdown' as in force all apps & services to close rather than waiting for them. Here's a snippet from a website:
Often what holds up the Windows shutdown routine is the operating system waiting for background and foreground processes to close. Microsoft has tried to alleviate the problem by introducing a Force Shutdown command in Windows 7. This kicks in after 12 seconds by default.
You can speed that up, however, by changing a registry setting. Open the Start menu, type 'regedit,' and then click the regedit.exe entry that appears. The Windows Registry Editor opens.
In the left-hand pane of the Registry Editor, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE tree, and then expand System, CurrentControlSet, and Control. With the Control branch highlighted, look for the entry WaitToKillService in the right-hand pane of the Registry Editor. Right-click it, select Modify from the pop-up menu, and from the resulting dialog box, change the value 12000 (for 12 seconds) to something lower.
Posted 27 December 2012 - 02:12
I have a slow shutdown time on an OCZ Solid with Windows 8 sometimes. I haven't thought anything of it.

RRS Ernest Shackleton Research Ship Webcam
The webcam on RRS Ernest Shackleton is situated in the Conning Tower (see the Virtual Tour for an image of the Conning Tower). It generally looks forward, but if something of particular interest is going on, it may be moved to look aft or to either side. This is a particularly interesting webcam as (when not on long sea passages) the scenery changes regularly. During the Antarctic summer, it is possible to see stunning polar scenery, icebergs and mountains. During the Antarctic winter, the Shackleton undertakes survey work in the North Sea so you may catch a glimpse of an oil or gas platform. It updates approximately once every hour.

This Guldstrand GS80, serial number 008, was originally built for rock drummer Alex Van Halen and is date stamped as having been completed on August 15, 1988. The car received quite a bit of press coverage when new, thanks to its famous owner, but there is much more to the vehicle than its celebrity parentage. Perhaps most important, it illustrates some of the running changes made to the GS80 series over the years. And, for anyone trying to extract a little extra performance from an L98 C4, the lessons of the past can still be quite instructive.
When Dick Guldstrand introduced the GS80 series in 1986, the car was targeted specifically at Pro-Solo and autocross enthusiasts. He knew all about the needs of these groups, as he was a longtime provider of performance upgrades for the C3 and a direct supporter of a small team of racers from the Western Council of Corvette Clubs. Up to this point, Dick had basically been a tuner. But with the introduction of the GS80, he was venturing into the realm of small-volume manufacturing-tricky territory in both the business and regulatory contexts.
The key element in selling a successful rebadged production car is having enough sales to make the vehicle a legitimate "series built" model. Some changes in the basic pattern can be tolerated, but deviate too much from the engineering concept, and it's possible to lose the economies of scale that result from producing a large quantity of specific parts and assemblies. With only 19 to 25 units built, it is questionable whether the GS80 project ever turned a profit, though a fairly common build pattern may have helped by keeping costs in check. In its day, the Guldstrand makeover cost $15,500 (with iron heads) over the price of a base Corvette.
Effective suspension improvements were critical to the performance of the new C4. Despite being light-years ahead of the C3 design, the C4 had some inherent weaknesses. For example, it was susceptible to even the smallest of variations in suspension calibration. As little as 11/48 degree of camber or 11/432 of toe setting could make a noticeable difference.
Developed and refined over a two-year period, the Guldstrand GS-80 suspension package (hyphen added) proved an effective upgrade. Guldstrand lowered the car by 111/44 inches using longer rear spring bolts and revised spring rates in both the front and rear. The choice for the front was the stiffer Z51 spring, while the rear spring received a lower-than-stock rate.
In most cases, the GS-80 setup used roller-bearing bushings in the control arms. These have less resistance than conventional rubber or polyurethane bushings, resulting in a faster response from the suspension, with less "stiction." These bearings also give zero deflection-just like steel bushings, but without the attendant squeaks and ride harshness.
Poly bushings and Heim-joint end links were used to locate the sway bar, thus allowing it to work more freely. In the rear, all rubber bushings were replaced with Heim joints, and Guldstrand even added his own toe-steer and camber-control kits. Monroe Formula GP shocks were used to dial in the optimum jounce and rebound control. The preferred steering rack was the slower-rate, base-suspension variant.
The end results of Guldstrand's suspension magic were reduced squat and dive along with better camber and toe control. The ride remained comfortable and maintained excellent compliance for street driving.
The engines for the GS80 cars were built by Jim Jones of TRACO, which was just next door to the Guldstrand facility in Culver City (see sidebar). Apart from a few unusual variants, there were three basic stages in the evolution of the powertrain.
The initial engine was based on a seasoned L98 block, which was blueprinted and overbored to 372 cubic inches. The bottom end comprised stock LT-1 pieces. It included a forged crank, "pink" connecting rods, and TRW 9:1 aluminum pistons (later engines used 10:1 pistons). An Engle cam was employed, and a choice of either iron or aluminum heads was offered.
The iron heads were from the L82 engine but used 2.02-inch intake and 1.65-inch exhaust valves. TRACO port-matched and "cc'd" these heads as part of the overall blueprinting process. When the aluminum Corvette heads came into production, TRACO upgraded them by performing a major port job and installing the larger valves from the iron version.
Other changes included intake runners that were siamesed and port-matched to the manifold. TRACO also built its own custom headers, which led to a 211/42-inch exhaust system. The cars were available in both manual and automatic versions, and each one came with an application-specific custom PROM. As a finishing touch, each owner's name was imprinted on the engine-stamp pad.

Toast of the Nation New York - The EatsSubmitted by jjackson on Wed, 2008-01-02 01:51
We had a productive soundcheck and rehearsal with Trio da Paz, Kenny Barron, and singers Pamela Driggs and Maucha Adnet.
We spent more than an hour making sure that what the nation hears in New York will most assuredly sound like Rio de Janeiro. Michael Bourne was in fine form, and he has a story from Antonio Carlos Jobim to lead us into the countdown. We've practiced everything. Next time, it's for real.
After rehearsal, we ran upstairs to Blue Smoke for eats. Here's what it took to feed the New York crew.
Macaroni and Cheese x 2, Braised Collard Greens With Bacon, Sweet Potato Fries with Maple Dip, Mashed Potatoes and Onions, Creamed Spinach
Seared Atlantic Salmon with Tomatillo Sauce, Scallion-Pepper Rice & Pico de Gallo
Rhapsody In 'Cue (x 3) = St. Louis Spareribs, Pulled Pork, Smoked Chicken and Hot Link
Kansas City Spareribs (saucy) - one full rack
Memphis-Style Baby Back Ribs (leanest) - two full racks
Eight large, moist towlettes and many toothpicks. Hey, it's barbeque!
We're currently recording the first set from Jazz Standard.
Saucily yours,

I've been a Korn fan for a while now and that will never change. Through this band I have found direction, comfort and friends and their music reaches to me like no other. I would have been lost without them.
My favorite album is Issues and my favorite song is "No One's There". I like all of Korn's efforts, old and new, and I'm happy that there always seems to be a new album to look forward to.
Outside of being diehard Korn fan, I currently work as an office manager and I'm hoping to attend college eventually for art and photography/videography, something along those lines.
My dream is to travel the world and maybe be the Sebastien Paquet of another band or musician sometime in the future.
I embrace every Korn fan I meet, old and new. Don't be shy and leave a comment sometime; some of the best friends I have were met through Korn, after all.
...that I make a blog on here! I've made many blogs in the past, but they all ended up failing because after a while I just had nothing to say. So, maybe you guys can motivate me a little? What would you like to see me post about? My life? Korn-related stuff? Other artists I like? Miscellaneous crap? Let me know so I can make this interesting for all of us. :-) Peace, Twist

Nearly all mothers and fathers can point to incidents in which they fell short of their ideal as parents—perhaps a moment of frustration in which they believed they were somehow abusive to their youngsters when, in retrospect, they really hadn't been. Most parents will never actually be child abusers, and most children will never be abused.
By definition, child abuse includes a number of forms of severe maltreatment, including physical abuse, physical neglect, verbal abuse, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse. Some unfortunate children experience multiple types of abuse. For instance, a child who experiences repeated instances of emotional abuse might also be victimized by occasional, deliberate physical violence. Severe physical abuse—even if only a rare outburst by overwhelmed parents with out-of-control anger—can inflict permanent damage on children and, in some cases, death.
Parental neglect—in which a child receives little or no supervision in and around his home, for example—can have tragic consequences if injuries occur. Even when it poses no immediate threat to a child's safety, prolonged or repeated neglect—in which his basic needs for clothing, nutrition, medical care, education, shelter, and nurturance are not met—can have adverse physical, social, developmental, and emotional consequences.
The number of cases of child abuse is on the rise, with reports of abuse to child-protection agencies increasing dramatically in recent years. According to one study there were three reports of child abuse for each one hundred children in the United States in 1985 alone. With societal drug and alcohol problems so severe, and the number of children in poverty growing, the incidence of child abuse is likely to continue to rise.
Most abusers are members of the child's family—if not a parent, then a close relative (such as an uncle or an older brother or sister), or a member of the household. And a number of factors can contribute to their abuse of children. Pressures on the family, both internal and external, can take a toll. When parents are feeling financial strain, job stress, or marital problems, their anger and frustration may make them more prone to strike out at their child. At certain times of the day—perhaps in the early evening after a hard day at work—parents may find it particularly difficult to control their tempers when youngsters misbehave or merely try their patience. Parents, who are socially isolated, without adequate sources of emotional support or a helping hand with daily tasks and responsibilities, are more likely to lose control and abuse their children.
Alcohol and other drug use by parents is often a contributor to child abuse. By reducing inhibitions, alcohol consumption often allows anger to explode in a parent who is confronted by his or her child's misbehavior. Some drugs, such as amphetamines, can increase agitation and thus can contribute to an abusive situation in the home. Children who are abused are sometimes those with learning or behavioral problems—conditions that themselves place more stress on and create more conflict within the family.
Parents who were physically abused themselves as children, or who were or are intimidated verbally and physically by adults around them, often resort to similar means when they discipline their own youngsters.
The use of force, especially violence toward other people, is a behavior learned from parents and inflicted on children. And when life stresses—from poverty to illness to alcoholism—exist, they increase the risk of abuse. Some abused children live in families replete with domestic violence—where spouses have physical battles and wives are often beaten.
If you suspect that a child you know is being abused—perhaps a niece or a nephew, a child in the neighborhood, or a classmate of your youngster—you have a responsibility to become involved. Teachers are often the first to see the changes in a child's physical appearance, emotional condition, and behavior, changes that suggest she is being hurt or is in trouble. In many states, teachers (as well as physicians, dentists, and other professionals) are legally obligated to report suspected cases of abuse—and for good reason: Every year, children die from abuse, often even after someone became aware that they were being victimized.
Use some common sense in trying to determine whether a child is actually being physically abused. For instance, normal, active children have some bruises and bumps that come from everyday playing. However, these routine bruises tend to occur over bony areas such as knees, elbows, and shins. If you see a child who has injuries on other parts of the body—the stomach, the cheeks, the ears, the buttocks, the mouth, or the thighs—this should raise your suspicions. Black eyes, human bite marks, and burns in the shape of round cigarette butts are not symptoms of everyday play.
In the overwhelming majority of child-abuse cases, parents do not consciously intend to injure their children. Most abusive episodes arise when adults have difficulty coping with life situations and lose control. However, even if their intentions are not malicious, a parent who abuses a child may do it again, especially if his or her underlying stresses are not addressed. As a result, society often has to intervene in order to protect the child and assist the family.
Once a case has been investigated by law enforcement and social agencies, local social service bureaus may institute various forms of services and treatment to help the family. However, the safety and protection of the child are the first priority, and thus children are sometimes removed from their family and placed in a foster home, at least temporarily; at the same time, efforts are made to work with the parents to address underlying problems and teach them coping skills to ensure that episodes of abuse are not repeated. If you have abused your own child or feel that such behavior may occur, talk with a trusted individual such as a physician or a clergyman. He or she may refer you to a professional or an agency where you can obtain help, including assistance in dealing with your own fears and guilt.
Both parents and children may benefit from some guidance and counseling, individually and together, perhaps at shelters for domestic violence that can help break the cycle. You will be guided toward dealing with your emotions without resorting to violence. You will have the opportunity to discuss your own parenting experiences and your current life stresses. You will be shown ways to cope effectively with stresses so that you do not fall into inflicting injuries upon your youngster. You have a responsibility to your child and to yourself to find ways to relate at home that are nonviolent, day after day.
If you feel that you are in the midst of a crisis, call your local chapter of Parents Anonymous or a crisis hotline, which can provide you with some prompt support. Thereafter, the more formal treatment process should begin.
Finally, you might also get involved to help reduce the incidence of child abuse in your community at large. You can become an advocate for a caring and respectful environment for all children. True, some segments of society still condone corporal punishment and even outwardly abusive behavior toward children—but this is wrong. You can work with local schools to eliminate physical punishment and to promote and teach constructive ways to deal with anger and conflict.
Not all abuse is physical. Neglecting your child's needs for emotional support, love, and caring is also a form of abuse. Emotional abuse is one of the most pervasive and damaging forms of child abuse. Belittling, ridiculing, name calling, and being disrespectful and unreasonably critical toward your youngster can have serious emotional consequences and long-term repercussions. Like more violent forms of abuse, emotional abuse can impair your child's self-image and self-esteem and interfere with his ability to function well in society. He may have difficulty making friends and relating to peers. In fact, he may avoid participating in activities with other children, and being in situations in which he's required to give and receive affection. Instead, he may be prone to being aggressive and oppositional. He might also develop learning difficulties or hyperactivity or have problems such as bed-wetting or soiling. Or he might act "pseudo mature," becoming a caretaker for adults and others far beyond roles appropriate for his age and development.
When this emotional abuse occurs, especially repeatedly over an extended period of time, it can have a lifelong impact, affecting a youngster's happiness, relationships, and success. He may become somber, unable to enjoy himself, and prone to self-defeating behaviors. At the extreme, he can become self-destructive, engaging in self-mutilation and even attempting suicide.
As with other types of abuse, emotional abuse is often inflicted by parents who themselves were raised in an environment where they experienced emotional mistreatment by their own mothers and fathers. Being made aware of the way they are treating their children is an important first step for these parents in bringing their abusive behavior to a halt. Often they are not conscious that their behavior is damaging; if they knew what they were doing and were more sensitive to their child's pain, they would probably want to do something to stop it.
Visiting a physician or a clergyman is a good way to start looking for help with emotional abuse. You might be referred to a mental-health professional or to community organizations or churches that offer parenting classes aimed specifically at helping you talk to and problem-solve with your child.

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying

This blog is our outlet to keep our heads from exploding
Fleye Foils

Bob Popovics isn't exactly known for his traditional way of doing things, and his new product just emphasizes this
Already when pioneering saltwater fly tying with Surf Candies, Poplip Flies, Jiggies and Siliclone Fleyes, Bob Popovics showed that he was willing to experiment with different materials for his flies. He has used the more "traditional" epoxy, silicone sealant, Softex, all kinds of fancy flash and foils and shiny eyes and a wealth of colors.
His excellent book Pop Fleyes clearly demonstrates how innovative he is and shows how to tie a long row of his now-classic saltwater flies.
So it came as no surprise when the Fleye Foils popped up (no pun) as yet another Bob Popovics invention. The foils are pre-shaped fish sides with a shiny, iridescent surface and gills, mouth and not least eyes printed onto the foil. The idea is that you tie your fly using traditional materials like hair, feathers, synthetics and flash, and then add the Fleye Foil on the sides and secure them with epoxy or even better, the new Light Curing Resins.
The result can be a close-to-perfect imitation of a small silvery baitfish, and combining the foils with different colors of base materials, markers and maybe some color in or under the resin, will give you an endless degree of freedom regarding color combinations.
The foils come in three variations: Silverside, Sand Eel and Bay Anchovy all available in four sizes apart from the Silverside, which does not come in extra large. The main difference is the shape. The tying method is basically the same, although some tyers are already experimenting with different uses of these new foils.
The foils are made by the Swedish company L2DM, whose selection of fly materials is no less than stunning, spanning from shrimp and crab shields, stonefly legs and dry fly wings to the new Fleye Foils. Their selection is huge, and hints that fly tiers with a wild fantasy and a slight stroke of madness are behind.
My own use for the classical style US baitfish patterns is limited, but I will under all circumstances try to get my hands on some of these foils to pay around with. They seem very useful and the resulting flies very life-like.
