I know why the caged bird shoots.
Because some creep is at the door, turning the knob. And she's alone and rightfully afraid. But she has a gun in her hand.
And thanks to the Second Amendment that many on the political left would like to erase and rewrite — by using horrific tragedies like Sandy Hook to wipe the Constitution of irritants — Maya Angelou was able to defend herself.
That's right. She defended herself with a firearm.

Maya Angelou got her gun. And now that she's talked about it, she teaches us a lesson about making assumptions.
Angelou, the literary icon and famed poet and "Star Trek" fan, told Time magazine in a recent interview that she likes having guns around. Her comments must have been the last thing that gun controllers wanted to see.
TIME: Your mother, she was your protector. She often carried a gun, she seemed very fond of guns. Did you inherit your mother's fondness for guns?
ANGELOU: Well, I do like to have guns around. I don't like to carry them. But if somebody is going to come into my house, and I have not put out the welcome mat, I want to stop them.
TIME: Have you ever fired a weapon?
ANGELOU: Of course!
TIME: At a person?
ANGELOU: I've fired it period, not at a person I hope. I was in my house in North Carolina. It was fall. I heard someone walking on the leaves. And somebody actually turned the knob, so I said, 'Stand four feet back because I'm going to shoot now!' BOOM! BOOM! The police came by and said, 'Ms. Angelou, the shots came from inside the house.' I said, 'Well, I don't know how that happened.'"
I loved the way she told the story. Particularly the sounds she used, like the leaves. The leaves were an awfully nice touch, weren't they? "It was fall. I heard someone walking on the leaves. ..." You could hear them crunch under the predator's feet. And then the silence when the feet stopped moving there at the door and the knob turned.
Angelou couldn't tell if the lurker was armed with a firearm or perhaps had another weapon, a hammer, say, or just fists. But the poet had what she needed to counter what she thought was coming for her.
Shooting blind through a closed door is a terribly dangerous thing to do, potentially deadly, perhaps murderous in the hands of the right prosecutor.
It is the act of a student of the Shotgun Joe Biden Firearms Safety Academy, or a person driven out of her wits by panic.
I think it's fair to say that she was frightened. Angelou had been the victim of violence as a girl. And former victim or not, who wouldn't be afraid?
Unfortunately, so much of the gun control debate is about fear. Fear of what happened at the Sandy Hook school, where 26 people, most of them children, were gunned down by a madman whose parents should have noticed something was wrong and done something about it. And they didn't do something about it, and all those people are dead.
Fear, too, of the government taking weapons away from law-abiding gun owners, depriving them of their Second Amendment rights.
Fear also of the ignorance of some lawmakers, including a lead House sponsor of a proposed federal ban on high-capacity magazines.

Officers in Wyoming County were trying to serve the warrant Nov. 7 at the Overfield Township home of 42-year-old Brian Williams and used a stun gun three times in an unsuccessful effort to subdue him.
The (Wilkes-Barre) Citizens' Voice ( http://bit.ly/WJU7Uj) says District Attorney Jeff Mitchell said that Williams was swinging a fireplace poker at officers when he was shot twice by the Tunkhannock Township officer. He said the officer "acted in self-defense pursuant to the law."
Mitchell said, however, that mistakes were made as officers were trying to serve the warrant that counselors had requested, saying that Williams had threatened to kill his wife.

Packers vs. Buccaneers – Unfiltered Game Day Commentary and First Impressions: Green Bay 35, Tampa Bay 26
Green Bay Packers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Bucs are struggling. The Packers are not. This looks like another blowout win for the Packers, but I guess we have to play the game first. Personally, I see this game going more like the Rams game than the Vikings game. The Packers will always be in control, but it won't be the complete domination that everyone expects.
With the Thanksgiving showdown against the Lions just a few days away, I also think the Packers might get a little bored today. Speaking of bored, you've probably had enough of my pregame ramblings. Lets get to the game.
Packers inactivies: CB Davon House, LB Robert Francois, LB Jamari Lattimore, LB Frank Zombo, OG Ray Dominguez, OT Chad Clifton and TE D.J. Williams.
Mike Neal makes his 2011 debut today. I thought the Packers would wait until the Thanksgiving game, but this is a nice surprise.
Safety Tanard Jackson is inactive for the Bucs. That's going to make it even more difficult for Tampa Bay to slow down Jermichael Finley and Green Bay's WRs.
First half
We get Joe Buck and Troy Aikman today. I love my touchdowns called in a monotone voice.
The Bucs convert on 3rd and 7 and Clay Matthews leaves the game with some sort of injury. Not a great start.
With Matthews on the sideline, AJ Hawk hits Josh Freeman's arm on 3rd and 4 and the Packers offense will go to work. Dom Capers brought the pressure on that series.
Josh Sitton with a hold on the Packers second play. His struggles continue.
Well, that's a new one. The Packers offense can't get a first down, so P Tim Masthay runs for the first down after a Bucs rusher comes at him unblocked. Masthay also shows why he's a punter by fumbling the ball out of bounds with nobody around him. He was actually credited with two fumbles and a fumble recovery on the play.
The Packers are driving after Masthay's run. Rodgers just used James Starks as a checkdown option. Good sign.
So Masthay runs for a first down after a failed punt, then BJ Raji plows his way for a one-yard TD. The Packers are just trying to amuse themselves at this point, right?

text: THE Two Stroke Racing Supporters Club held their Annual Awards night last Saturday in a packed Ollie's Place in Skerries, and almost all the top Two Stroke riders were present to accept their awards.William Dunlop was unable to attend due to commitments at the Bike Show in the NEC in Birmingham, but he asked Gary Ryan to accept his awards. After a long season, the riders were able to let their hair down, and that they did in style. The first of the awards presented on the night went to Baylon McCaughey, who was delighted to receive it for his services to the Two Stroke Club since the club started 10 years ago. The popular Cookstown photojournalist accepted the award from committee member Keith Costello. Sam Wilson impressed a lot of people this year with his stylish riding, and he was delighted to receive the Steve Ward Cup for his efforts during the season. Another of the special awards presented are the two Crystal trophies that were originally awarded for the 125 and 250 TT races that are now defunct, and the first award went to Sam Dunlop, with the other going to one of the top Two Stroke riders at the Manx Grand Prix, Brian Mateer. The Aubrey McCauley Memorial Cup was presented to Mark McNeilly as a special award at the Killalane Road Races. The best overseas award is the James Crompton Cup, and that was presented to Kevin Strowger, who travelled from Stoke to accept his award. The 125 Championship winner was Sam Wilson who received the Skinner Hughes Trophy from AJ Hughes, with the top 10 riders sharing a decent prize fund. Davy Morgan won the seasonlong battle with William Dunlop for the 250 Championship, and the Saintfield rider was delighted to accept his award, despite suffering from jetlag after his long trip home from the Macau Grand Prix. Davy was presented with the Gary Dynes trophy by Vivian Dynes, and his cheque by Donna Costello. Along with the Gary Dynes Cup, the third-place rider in the championship, Seamus Elliott, received the Andrew Neill Award, with second-place rider William Dunlop receiving the Mark Young Trophy that was presented to Gary Ryan by Alma and Neil Young. To cap off a great night, the ladies of the club - Donna Costello, Margaret Corry, Vivian Dynes, Michelle Wright and Yvonne Ward - were presented with bouquets of flowers by Joe Wright on behalf of the members. Despite the shortage of Two Strokes on the roads, the club intend to keep the championship going, and already they are planning for next season.

I've recently returned from a trip to the US, where I had the pleasure to give a presentation of YAY to potential investors at the OTCQX-market in New York. A presentation that was very well received!
Anyhow, going to the US in November gives you a reminder of how infatuated Americans are with Thanksgiving celebration. The morning after I gave the presentation, I was watching morning TV at the hotel and saw Mike Huckabee explain how to deep-fry a turkey for thanksgiving. I believe he was serious when he told the audience "Not only is it good, but it's healthy too!".
A short discussion about this at the office when I returned, and Linda showed me this rather fascinating cooking lady at YouTube:
So, have you ever deep-fried a turkey for thanksgiving?
Deep-fried or not, we at YAY wish you all the best for thanksgiving!

D'Addario Pleads Guilty to Supplying "Bath Salts" to Virginia Dealer
Dragon's Den bath salt seller faces 20-year sentence
Published: November 7, 2012
Carlo Ernesto D'Addario, the 42-year-old Baltimore man accused in Virginia federal court of selling illegal synthetic drugs known as "bath salts" out of the Dragon's Den Smoke Shop in Fells Point ("Under Cover in the Dragon's Den," Mobtown Beat, May 30), pleaded guilty Oct. 31 to conspiracy drug charges. He faces a maximum 20-year sentence and/or a $1,000,000 fine, according to a Virginia U.S. Attorney's Office press release.
D'Addario's co-defendant, Holly Renae Sprouse of Craigsville, Va., cooperated with authorities investigating the case. After pleading guilty in May, Sprouse—whose abuse of synthetic drugs was detailed in court documents, as were the personal tragedies that resulted—was sentenced in August to 20 months in prison ("Bath Time," Mobtown Beat, Aug. 22), weeks after a cross-country series of federal raids, dubbed "Operation Log Jam," aimed to debilitate the synthetic-drug supply chain. Two Baltimore-area smoke shops—the Dragon's Den and the Tobacco Shop in Bel Air—figured in Operation Log Jam's successful effort to raid M&C Wholesale, a Laguna Niguel, Calif., company suspected of supplying synthetic pot to head shops ("Spicing It Up," Mobtown Beat, Aug. 29).
According to D'Addario's plea, he admits to selling "bath salts" out of the Dragon's Den twice, on Dec. 13, 2011 and on Jan. 10, 2012, to customers he thought were connected to Sprouse, but, in fact, were an undercover investigator and a Baltimore-based "confidential source." The total weight of the four varieties of synthetic drugs he sold in these transactions—which had brand names such as "Speedy Gonzalez," "Incredible Hulk," "Taz," and "Bugs Bunny"—comes to 261 grams.
"Mr. D'Addario endangered the health and safety of Virginians when he imported synthetic drugs into our communities," United States Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy said in a press release. "These substances are volatile and dangerous, as reflected in a recent surge in emergency room visits and violent outbursts by users."

" I love my babytrekker. It's super comfy and once you figure it all out, I find it rather simple to use. My sons both seemed to feel comfortable in it and I was able to use it with my second boy from birth to a bit over 18 months with no issues. I'd have used it longer but I mostly use it to take walks and started letting him walk around with us a little after that and then I got preggo again..." --dayiscoming2006

Sonya heard about it from her yoga teacher. Sarah got the tip at a health food store. Kendell's real estate agent urged her to try it. All three were told detox dieting would rid their body of toxins, give them energy and melt away pounds—fast! You've heard it, too, from celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow, who has emailed cleanse plans to fans through Goop.com, or from ubiquitous ads for supplement regimens and juice-fasting kits.
Here's who won't tell you to detox: doctors and dietitians, most of whom agree the habit can turn disordered and dangerous and may ultimately make you fatter. Detoxers may shed water weight, but it quickly returns. Worse: A lack of nutrients can make your body eat into muscle for energy, slowing your metabolism. It becomes harder to burn calories because your body conserves what little energy it gets, explains Peter Pressman, M.D., an internist with the U.S. Navy Medical Corps and a fellow of the American College of Clinical Nutrition. "Clinical evidence shows that the notion of a nutritional scrub is nothing more than highly profitable fiction," he says.
In truth, our bodies need no extra cleansing. "We have a liver and kidneys, and they are quite efficient at processing out anything toxic," says American Dietetic Association spokeswoman Lona Sandon, R.D., assistant professor of clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Colon-cleansing products might actually weaken immunity by killing good bacteria that fend off invading germs in the gut. And fasting can trigger arrhythmia and even cardiac arrest because of the rapid loss of key electrolytes.
So why do women say detoxes feel fantastic? "Like other disordered eating habits, it gives people a sense of control," Sandon says. Fasting may have a calming effect caused by the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, in response to the stress of starvation. And the caffeine in some detox products can provide a shot of energy. When the diet ends, the high fades and women crash, often feeling sick, sad and ashamed they could not stick to their strict regime. So they cleanse again to regain the initial feeling.
It's time to stop sabotaging our bodies! SELF paired five cleanse fans with R.D.s for 30 days to create eating plans that provide everything they hoped for from detox but without the deprivation or danger. Take their tips to get the body and energy you crave, one healthy bite at a time.

"The footage is phenomenal," attendee David Fritz said. "I used to stand and look down 3,000 feet from the top of a peak and now that my body is worn, it's great to watch others doing it. It takes me back."
Event host and RSN TV personality, Todd Offenbacher, kept the audience enthusiastic with entertaining commentary and a raffle.
Between films, go-go dancers and local artist DJ Koos entertained the audience, maintaining the high energy of the film festival.
Leeward Cinema's film, "My Own Two Feet," drew cheers as the crowd watched local snowboard legend, Jeremy Jones conquer the mountains surrounding Donner Lake. Since part of the film's purpose was to raise environmental awareness, camera crews and athletes did not use machinery to venture into the backcountry. This enabled them to find terrain never seen in a sports film. Even those who are familiar with the Sierra Nevada Mountains were given a unique opportunity to view portions of the region few have ever seen.
Swedish company, Free Radicals', newest film, "Satisfaction Guaranteed" lived up to their title with great footage and an upbeat soundtrack. Heads bobbed to European techno music as skiers thrust themselves down the most extreme terrain of the Alps.
The audience was kept on the edge of their seats with the German film, "Portrait of a Serial Jumper." Gasps could be heard as cameras followed Norwegian BASE jumper Andre Bach on his journey diving from some of the highest peaks in the world.
Matchstick Production, who considered their newest film, "Claim," the "greatest ski move ever," did not disappoint, with extraordinary cinematography and the best speed flying shot ever captured. For that segment, the crews caught one of their athletes in a phenomenal avalanche chase down nearly vertical terrain. To outrun the avalanche, the skier used a ground parachute to rise above the terrifying mass of snow.
"I remember the days of adrenaline," Fritz said. "These films are so fun to watch, just amazing."

Enjoy our classic drink from the samps, the Swampthing ~ raspberry & melon liqueurs layered with frozen Hurricane & Margarita. What are you waiting for?! Get in here! Pappadeaux.com
Great Cajun/Creole-inspired menu items, but the REAL steal here are the $3.95 dozen oyster specials!
We have always had excellent service and food until last Sunday. The service was really terrible. Most of the time we could not locate our server, even when we first arrived. We could not get our drinks refilled, the food server brought incorrect vegetables from those ordered and by the time the food arrived, it was cold. I did report the server to the hostess.
food is average at best and over priced.
Pappadeaux in Norcross, GA – Excellent in everything the food, the atmosphere, the service. The coconut shrimp were the best i've ever had; only the sauce was different, not the ususal coconut creame sausce i've become accustomed to. All in all it was a great experience; a lovely place to take out of town guest or for any other special occasion.
The Pappa is tha Spot – Great atmosphere,good food the big bay platter is perfect and you have to have a "Swamp Thing" is awesome!!!
Worth the wait – It was a busy Saturday dinner when my family and I arrived there. We were asked to wait for our turn. A few minutes after, we had our table and was provided with great service and good food. We love the craw fish bisque. The platter is really good for family dining.
Always a Favorite – One of my favorite restaurants in the area. Took a group of 10 there last Friday for a business lunch and although the restaurant was packed and people were waiting in line, we were seated relatively quickly. Everyone was very impressed with the menu selection and when our meal came, it was perfection. It was understandable that the service was a bit slower than normal, but it was a very busy day. We will be back!
VERY DISAPPOINTED!UGH – really a huge let down!my husband and i went tonight,people that work there were saggin their pants and aprons!the salad dressing tasted like water,the portion was not what i had in mind..i ordered the SEAFOOD PLATTER,i got...one tiny peice of fish,3tiny shrimp,1processed stuff crab,and potatoes that had huge lumps!the oyster was mere crumps.the noise level was at a 10...we paid our $60 plus bill and vowed to NEVER return.you would do better of at capatin d's,oh if yo do decide to try it yourself....bread and cole slaw ARE available upon REQUEST.
One of my favorite seafood restaraunts in the area – I love seafood, so when my fiance took me here to eat I was really excited to try their food. Each time I go I'm very pleased with their dishes. They have a wonderful variety to choose from, and it tastes delicious. They are a little pricey for out budget so it ends up being an occasional treat. However, if you take someone that doesn't necessarily like seafood it gets ridiculously expensive (they only sell expensive cuts of red meat). Nonetheless I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys seafood.
Awesome food! – I love this restaurant. I've been to the other 2 pappadeaux restaurants and this is bar-none the best in atlanta. Order the crawfish trio, it's not on the menu, but it's great! Three different flavors of crawfish on one plate, what's not to love?
I get the grouper alexander and it never disappoints. When my friends and family ask where to go on my birthday, I always say pappadeaux! The service has always been spot on. While the prices are not cheap, it is very reasonable for the quality and amount of food you receive. Looking for great seafood with unique flavors? Pappadeaux is the answer!
Now I'm all hungry...
Great Portions, Good Food (although NOT the Boudin), HORRIBLE SERVICE – My sister and brother in law came to visit and since he is a Cajun, we decided to give Pappadeaux a try. When we arrived at 5:33 pm on Sunday 2/22/09 we were told a 30 to 40 min wait (as unless you have 6 or more in your party you can't make a reservation). This was not a big deal. So the Hostess was correct, at 6:03 pm we were seated. Now is where the problem began. Our service was horrible. The waitress came to the table about 5 min or so after were seated, we then ordered our drinks and waited another 5-7 min to get them. She then came to the table to take our order. I ordered the Crawfish Platter with a cup of Crawfish Bisque. My sister ordered Boudin and crab cakes. When the food arrived....1 HOUR AFTER we ordered, my Bisque was never delivered, the Boudin that my sister ordered left a nasty after taste and wasn't fully cooked. The waitress never came back to see if we were ok, or needed anything or to make sure our food was correct. As we sat there eating, we drank all of our beverages and had to stop a busboy (not sure if that is now the correct term) to see about getting refills. He refilled the sweet teas (I had unsweet) and then got called to other duties (which this wasn't his job so that was fine), however, our waitress took another 5 min or so to get there to see that I needed a refill. At this point she finally asked about the food, which we sent back the Boudin and got boxes for the rest. She came back to the table to declare that she had to wait for the Mgr to remove the Boudin from the check. She finally came back with the check and we paid and left. The food itself was fantastic (other than the Boudin). Total time for this meal (wait to be seated, wait for food, eating, wait for check) was over 2 hours. Do NOT go if you don't have time to burn.

Pronounced: ox-AL-i-PLA-tin
About Oxaliplatin
Oxaliplatin is a type of platinum chemotherapy, which are heavy metal compounds that inhibit synthesis of RNA, DNA, and protein in cells. All of these are vital for cells to divide and grow. By preventing them from dividing, the medication can stop the cancer from growing.
How to Take Oxaliplatin
Oxaliplatin is given by intravenous (into a vein) infusion over a period of about 2 hours. It is often given in combination with other chemotherapy medications such as fluorouracil and irinotecan. The dosage and schedule is determined by the personÕs size, type of cancer, and mode of administration.
Possible Side Effects of Oxaliplatin
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Oxaliplatin. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Low White Blood Cell Count (Leukopenia or Neutropenia)
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4¡), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Low Red Blood Cell Count (Anemia)
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Low Platelet Count (Thrombocytopenia)
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If the platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Nausea and/or Vomiting
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
Numbness or Tingling in the Hands, Feet and Throat
The drug can causes a side effect called neuropathy, which can occur for a few days after treatment or continue between treatments. This neuropathy can be described as: "pins and needles", numbness, tingling, or burning in the hands, feet, mouth, and throat. Some patients will experience difficulty swallowing. Symptoms are often triggered or aggravated by exposure to cold (drinking a cold drink can trigger a feeling of spasm in the throat, or touching a cold steering wheel could cause numbness or tingling of the hands). Patients may have changes in proprioception, which is the ability of the body to be aware of its position. For instance, you can button a shirt without looking because your fingers know how they are bending and moving to perform the task -- this is called proprioception. Without proprioception, your body would not be able to tell the position of the fingers without looking at them. These symptoms are caused by damage to the nerves in the hands and feet. Neuropathy usually resolves gradually over the months following the discontinuation of treatment, but can become permanent. Be sure to tell your oncology team about any neuropathy symptoms, as this may require dose changes to prevent long-term damage.
See OncoLink's section on neuropathy for tips on dealing with this side effect.
Other Side Effects
Some less common side effects that have been reported include: alopecia (loss or thinning of scalp and body hair), allergic-type reaction, and sexual/reproductive changes.

The bazaar has several different focuses, and the store is laid out accordingly. Furniture and ceramics/porcelains are mostly on the first floor, with more touristy items there as well. Also, a very fine selection of tea and sake services is found downstairs. I purchased one of each and was very pleased with the quality and price.
Upstairs are prints (standard and woodblock), more touristy items, and textiles for purchase. Each section of the store is operated by a separate owner, so don't walk away with goods from one section to browse in another! Make you purchase and move on or compare and come back to buy.
Overall, the Oriental Bazaar is a handy place to do some comparative shopping in one central location. The craftsmanship probably is not as good as in some high-end shops, but it is quite nice and the price justifies the purchases.
Additionally, for some last-minute purchases, the Oriental Bazaar has a shop in the Narita airport in terminal 1 on the fourth floor.

You will find people from many nations shopping here. You'll hear French, Italian and German besides English. The clerks speak English, so you don't need to worry about a language problem. Even if you don't buy anything, it's a great place to look around. The prices are very good too.

Fly Tying in the Spotlight
|Part of a two- part article that appeared in the Boulder Daily Camera during December 2005 and January 2006
|While preparing this article I tentatively settled on the title "The Golden Age of Fly Tying". To my surprise the new issue of Fly Fishermen Magazine arrived with a Ted Leeson article entitled "A Golden Age." He discussed how designs, methods, materials, and the level of technical proficiency have advanced at a dizzying pace. He believes, and I concur, that this golden age started some 10 or 15 years ago. It can be linked to better tools and materials, instruction and communication media, the drive towards better imitations, and passion for the sport of fly fishing depicted in the movie "A River Runs Through It".
Lefty's Deceiver is known by fly fishermen throughout the world. It's a general-purpose baitfish pattern and can be used in both salt and fresh water. There are many color variations, mostly in the wing - green over white; red over yellow; all white; blue over white, and so on. You can tie it out of natural or synthetic materials or use a combination of both. The pattern was originally developed in the 1950's by Lefty Kreh for the Striped Bass in Chesapeake Bay. It is a style of tying designed to imitate the shape and size of various baitfish but when lifted from the water it can be cast with ease. The wing is attached at the tail of the hook to prevent fouling in flight. It also helps to animate the fly in the water because of its great swimming action. Picture courtesy of Solitude Fly Company
|Over the next several two issues of Flies, Ties,
and Lies I'll pass along some of my impressions about the growth of fly
tying. I started tying flies about 40 years ago and the changes are simply
amazing. This installment sets the stage by addressing a few of historical
Around 200 AD Ælian's Nature of Animals included the following passage when describing how Macedonians caught "fish with speckled skins" on flies
"Now though the fishermen know this, they do not use these flies
at all for bait for fish; for if a man's hand touch them, they lose their
natural colour, their wings wither, and they become unfit food for the
fish. For this reason they have nothing to do with them, hating them for
their bad character; but they have planned a snare for the fish, and get
the better of them by their fisherman's craft.
In all probability anglers have been tying flies for over 2,000 years. But despite this long history, the primary method and approach has remain unchanged - a hook with body materials and/or feathers attached so that it appears to represent a food source.
It has been shown that fly fishing was practiced in Europe as early as
the beginning of the thirteenth century. The most famous printed British
work publish in the fifteenth century is A Treatyse of Fysshynge with
an Angle. The text includes instructions on how to make a rod, line, hooks,
instructions for twelve fly patterns and hints about how to catch the
common varieties of British fish. It can be read on line at www.flyfishinghistory.com.
While there have been numerous debates over the writer and exact timing,
it stood alone as the most definitive work on the subject for two centuries.
By the eighteenth century the tackle trade was well established and you could actually buy books with illustrations of flies. The first half of the nineteenth century was the period when the winged wet fly emerged, and marked the transition to the fully-dressed salmon fly. The Fly-Fisher's Entomology written in 1836 by Alfred Ronalds was indicative of the progress being made. It described some 50 artificial flies and offered 20 plates of hand-colored illustrations of insects and their imitations.
The discovery of the dry fly and the method of upstream fishing had an
enormous impact on every aspect of the sport and drove the technology
of the next century. During this same period American fly fishers began
to develop their own identity, with new patterns, techniques, and equipment.
With the breakthrough of nymph fishing, by one of the angling greats,
G.E.M. Skues, fly fishing took another dramatic turn.
|Fly tying 100 years ago meant hand-tied flies.
It was a skill passed down from one angler to another. Today it might seem
cumbersome but hand-tying methods were not particularly suited for hooks
held in a vice. Adopting a vice meant learning an entirely different way
of tying flies. Patterns were relatively simple, hooks sizes were large,
and it was easy to tie right on the stream. It's said that the introduction
of eyed flies preferred by the dry fly fishermen brought on adoption of
the vice and all the associated tools.
It would be reasonable to assume that the combination of easier to master
production tools, the expanding range of local and more readily available
materials, and the growth of international communication were the drivers
for expansion.
|Fly tying at any level is truly an art form.
Fur, feathers, thread, and steel are the building blocks from which the
tier creates his imitation of life. Once the basics have been mastered each
tier begins to impart his or her personal signature on the patterns they
tie. As time moves on, the level of experimentation and originality grows.
Every pattern encountered is evaluated from the standpoint of "How
it can be made better or more suited to my purposes." As the skill
level expands the tier gravitates to more specialized and focused original
At the end of the day fly fishing and fly tying are inseparably linked because the anglers success is dependent the tier's skill. As Gary Borger pointed out in Designing Trout Flies "To produce consistently successful designs, then, the fly tier must understand both the fish and its food. In addition, the tier must have a good working knowledge of the materials used to construct the artificial; information such as color, texture, light transmitting or reflecting quality, and durability. And, the tier must be acquainted with a range of techniques for applying the materials as well as the angling techniques that will be used to fish the fly."
Of all the ways to catch a fish, few are as exciting and rewarding as
catching one on a fly that you tied. For many fly fishermen, tying flies
is as satisfying as landing a fish. As a matter of fact, it's a substitute
for fishing in the dead of winter.
|In January I discussed the long history of fly
tying and its evolution towards current patterns. At the end of the article,
I mentioned that Gary Borger indicated that a competent tier must possess
a good knowledge of materials and be well acquainted with a broad range
of tying techniques. That seems sensible, but where and how do you get started?
When I began tying, I didn't have a family member or friend to show me the way so I learned by taking flies apart and studying pictures in sporting magazines and catalogs. I'd never actually seen any commercial fly tying until I came to Boulder and wandered into Hank Roberts Shop on Pearl Street.
The prospective fly tier has a broad choice of learning options - step-by-step books or videos, clinics, fly tying shows, classes, and the internet. My recommendation would be to start with a class offered through a fly shop. This will give you the basics and help you make intelligent decisions on equipment and materials. Buy these items slowly and as you need them.
The next step is to secure some "how to" materials. Get some advice from a knowledgeable source and examine them closely. Keep in mind that a number of fly shops will lend or rent reference materials.
The internet can be a tremendous source of information. Almost any fly shop with a web presence has pattern indexes with recipes and how to tie instructions. Moreover there are numerous specialty sites that focus entirely on fly tying. A great example is Hans Weilenmann's Flytier Page where you can find over 2700 patterns from about 200 of the top fly tiers in the world. You can use Internet search engines to find these sites or go to an information portal like the one created and maintained by Front Range Anglers - www.frontrangeanglers.com/infocenter/Index.htm
Attending clinics or shows like The 30th Annual West Denver Fly Tying Clinic scheduled for February 11, 2006 from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds is a great option. Here you can watch five dozen of the best fly tiers in the West do their thing. During the winter most fly shops offer free Saturday morning programs. All you have to do is show up and enjoy the presentation. Even if you don't want to tie flies you'll learn how to fish various patterns more effectively. I think the best thing about clinics is not how to tie a specific patterns, but improving your tying techniques.
Basic fly tying is not really all that hard, nor do the tools and materials have to be expensive. All you need to get started is a vise to hold the hook, a bobbin to hold your spool of thread, some hackle pliers to help you wind feathers, a half-hitch tool or whip finishing tool, and a pair of fine-bladed, sharp scissors. This can easily be done for under $75 or even less particularly if you're working with one of the fly shops. Buy black 3/0 pre-waxed thread, some head cement (super glue or nail polish will do), the hooks and specific materials for the pattern you intend to tie. Find a spot which has ample room and good lighting. If you're farsighted get a pair of high magnification reading glasses so you can actually see what you're doing.
If you have decided to take up fly tying to save money, you'll be sadly disappointed. If you become addicted, and you probably will once you start catching fish on your creations, spending will get started in earnest. An even funnier concept is to take up fly tying so that you can earn money by selling your flies commercially. Do you really think sanity is possible when faced with an order for 100 dozen flies of the same pattern?
I have two pieces of advice for the addicted. First buy high quality tools. When you skimp, the results will not meet your expectations and you'll ultimately end up spending the money anyway. Whenever possible try before you buy. Generally speaking, fly tying bargain kits are a bad idea. Second, go slow and ask plenty of questions. If you don't have the skill or knowledge to select quality materials, expensive mistakes are inevitable. As a general rule, buying materials that you can't examine is not a red hot idea. That great buy on eBay may prove costly.
Find a place to store your tools and materials. When your four legged best friend chews up a $100 dry fly cape that you could have placed in a $3.00 plastic container, you will understand this point.

Paul Gross Heads World Premiere Cast of ARE YOU THERE, MCPHEE? at McCarter, Opening 5/11
Paul Gross, one of Canada's acclaimed actors, leads the cast of Are You There, McPhee? a world premiere by John Guare at McCarter Theatre Center. Directed by Sam Buntrock, the production runs now through June 3, 2012.
Joining Mr. Gross in the cast of Are You There, McPhee? will include Gideon Banner, John Behlmann, Jeremy Bobb, Molly Camp, Patrick Carroll, Alicia Goranson, Jenn Lyon, Danny Mastrogiorgio, and Lusia Strus.
The design team is David Farley (set and costumes), Ken Billington (lighting), Jill BC Du Boff (sound), Justin Ellington (composer), Lisa Shriver (movement director and puppet consultant). The production stage manager is Cheryl Mintz with Marcy Victoria Reed as assistant stage manager.
In this new play by John Guare, a playwright is inexorably sucked into the tangle of the lives of a pair of abandoned children. An old Nantucket house, the secret of a long-dead children's book author, a group of amateur actors, a career opportunity, and a mysterious stranger collide in this whirlwind of a play. Funny and intense, McPhee moves fast and surprises with a subtle emotional touch. A McCarter Theatre Center commission.
Among his many honors, John Guare received the Obie, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, and Tony nominations for House of Blue Leaves and Six Degrees of Separation, which also won the Olivier Award for Best Play. He also wrote the Oscar-nominated screenplay for Louis Malle's Atlantic City. Mr. Guare won a Tony for his libretto to the musical Two Gentlemen of Verona and was nominated for his libretto to Sweet Smell of Success. His adaptation of His Girl Friday premiered to great acclaim at London's National Theater. In 2003, he won the PEN/Laura Pels Master Dramatist Award, the 2004 Gold Medal in Drama from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and in 2005, an Obie Award for sustained excellence. He is a council member of the Dramatists Guild and co-editor of The Lincoln Center Theater Review.
Paul Gross is internationally known for his role as Constable Benton Fraser on the multi-award-winning drama Due South and received two Gemini Awards (Canada's Emmy) for his portrayal of Geoffrey Tenant in the critically acclaimed series Slings & Arrows. He wrote, directed, and starred in the feature films Passchendaele and Men with Brooms, two of the highest grossing Canadian films and winner of a combined six Genie Awards (Canada's Oscar) including Best Picture. He recently starred on TV's Eastwick, based on the movie The Witches of Eastwick. On stage, Gross has received the Dora Awards for Romeo and Juliet and Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Toward the Somme. Most recently, he was seen on Broadway opposite Kim Cattrall in Private Lives. In the fall, he will be directing and starring in Hyena Road, an Afghan war story to be shot in Kabul and Jordan.
Gideon Banner has been seen in The Four of Us at Manhattan Theatre Club and The Old Globe, Blue Man Group in New York, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Brazil, Big Bill at Lincoln Center Williamstown, The Small at Clubbed Thumb, and others.

Hey everyone, pretty new here.. and new to the iPhone itself.
I picked up an iPhone off someone yesterday for a decent price. Good condition everything. Jailbroken to 2.2.1 firmware. (i barely know all this stuff)
So, We noticed that everytime you lock the phone with the top lock-button, after maybe 10-15 seconds, when I hit to unlock, it freezes into a screen that looks like this..
not as much blue lines, but thats my quick drawing. a quick restart fixes it. but the bottom line is i cant use the lock feature.
everything else works fine. we tried to restore to the original iphone and upgrade again, and same thing.
anyone heard anything about this or have any in sight?
Thanks :)

I am posting this because I was having problems getting the time to sync between my Windows 7 and OS X installs in my dual boot setup. After some research I found that this fix was the easiest and best fix. The only problem is that I could not find a link for the file anywhere. After some IRC help I cam across the file. I am posting it here to help others that have the same annoying problem.
ALL CREDIT GOES TO Zephyroth. I AM JUST SHARING HIS WORK WITH OTHERS.
If there was a reason that this file was so hard to find, or if the publisher would rather it not be shared publicly, just PM me and I will remove it from my server and delete the thread.
This file was taken from a IPC distro. I have renamed the file. I loaded it myself and can attest to ir running on my iATKOS 10.5.6 machine. Run the file on the OS X side of things and the time sync problem should be gone.
P.S. Can we get a sticky on this so that it is easy for people to find?

How much? – This is my six year old's favorite restaurant, and the pizza is certainly amongst the tops in san francisco. The meat toppings are really fantastic here, especially the pepperoni and meatballs. Incredibly tasty.
But holy smokes, how can they possibly charge so much? This place would be out of business in a day if it were actually on the East Coast! Any random pizza place in the northeast could compete well with Amici's on quality at about 1/3 of the price.
East Coast Pizza – If you like East Coast pizza I highly reccomend Amici's. It is by far the best pizza I have had. They have good salads as well.
Great Pizza – Go with the thin-crust. It's a lower calorie option and has just as much flavor. Parking can be challenging but worth the stop
Better than fair... – Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon, after reading all the great reviews the wife and expected something really special. It was good, we had the New York style with sausage and mushoom, the crust was nice and and crispy though a bit burnt on the edges. We dabbed off the copious amounts of grease before consuming. Overall not bad, I've had comparable pizza in other establishments.
Amici's great – I have dined at Amici's a few times now since returning to the Bay Area. The food is served relatively quick but what I like is the friendliness of the employees. I mean: why would I like a place that served good food but the waiters etc treated you poorly? I don't belong to the club where if they serve you bad food and treated you worst, you still tip them and smile on the way out! They remember what I like, they treat me very well and the four-cheese lasagna is very cheesey and tasty!! It's one of my favorites now!! the only sour note is the parking ~ non-existent ~ and I hate driving round n round in circles looking for a spot. Even though, it's a great spot nicely decorated and always crowded.... this is one place where I don't mind ordering pizza!! Enjoy!!
good pastas – i dont go to amici`s much, i usually have them deliver the food . they deliver food on good time(much faster than most joints ) and also their pizzas are good . i really like their pastas more than their pizzas.Most people I know like this place.
Best pizza this side of New York – I am a native New Yorker. Born and raised on folded slices of 'za to go. I have complained for over 2 decades about the lack of good pizza in San Francisco. Highly touted spots (Village Pizzeria, North Beach Pizza, Escape from NY) have just never passed muster and I can't keep driving across the bridge to Arinell in Berkeley (the Arinell on Valencia is awful).
But now I have Amici's. This is as close as you get to perfection. The pizza has thin crust, great sauce, the perfect heft of cheese and a good belnd of spices.
And their pasta is not bad either. I also recommend their antipasto salad with the Ceasar dressing - truly superb.
Best Pizza in SF – It's hard to find great pizza in sf and I found it in Amici's! I can have the thin crust margarita or the philly with the sausage and bell peppers. It's great to go to the King street location right before a Giants game! They have some great beers like Pilsner on the tap. It has everything that reminds me of being back in the east coast! It's the closest pizza to the ones I have had when I was a tiny kid in Boston!
This New York-style pizzeria features thin-crust pizza with non-traditional toppings. – In Short
A destination for East Coast transplants, this mini-chain is known for its brick-oven baked pizzas. To accentuate the thin, crispy, chewy crusts, pizzas come with less sauce and cheese than typically found on California pies. Toppings include traditional options, such as pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms and tomatoes, as well as an array of nontraditional options, including clams, garlic, bacon and lemon oil.

The Plant Body
Plant Tissues and Organ Systems
Plants are made up of meristematic and permanent tissues and are supported by shoot and root organ systems.
A stem connects the roots to the leaves, provides support, stores food, and holds the leaves, flowers, and buds.
Stem Anatomy
The stem's anatomy consists of three tissue systems that work together to support, protect, and aid in nourishing the plant.
Growth in Stems
Plants undergo primary growth to increase length and secondary growth to increase thickness.
Stem Modifications
Stem modifications, either aboveground, underground, or aerial, enable plants to survive in particular habitats and environments.
Types of Root Systems
The root tip has three main zones: a zone of cell division, a zone of elongation, and a zone of maturation.
Root Modifications
Plants have a wide variety of roots for functions as diverse as structural support, food storage, and parasitism.
Leaf Structure and Arrangment
Most leaves have similar essential structures, but differ in venation patterns and leaf arrangement (or phyllotaxy).
Leaf Form
Leaves may be categorized as simple or compound, depending on how their blade (or lamina) is divided.
Leaf Structure, Function, and Adaptation
Leaves have many structures that prevent water loss, transport compounds, aid in gas exchange, and protect the plant as a whole.
Plant Development
Plant meristematic tissues are cells that divide in order to give rise to various organs of the plant and keep the plant growing.
Genetic control of flowers
A variety of genes control flower development, which involves sexual maturation and growth of reproductive organs as shown by the ABC model.
Transport of Water and Solutes in Plants
Water and Solute Potential
Water potential is the measure of potential energy in water and drives the movement of water through plants.
Pressure, Gravity, and Matric Potential
Water potential is affected by factors such as pressure, gravity, and matric potentials.
Movement of Water and Minerals in the Xylem
Transpiration aids in the movement of water and minerals in the xylem, but it must be controlled in order to prevent water loss.
Transportation of Photosynthates in the Phloem
Translocation moves photosynthates via the phloem from sources to sinks.
Plant Sensory Systems and Responses
Plant Responses to Light
Plants respond to light stimuli by growing, differentiating, tracking the time of day and seasons, and moving toward or away from the light.
The Phytochrome System and Red Light Response
Plants use a phytochrome system to sense the level, intensity, duration, and color of environmental light to adjust their physiology.
Blue Light Response
The protein-based receptors, phototropins and cryptochromes, sense blue light to alter plant physiology accordingly.
Plant Responses to Gravity
Plant shoots grow away from gravity, toward sunlight, while plant roots grow into the soil in the direction of gravity.
Auxins, Cytokinins, and Gibberellins
All physiological aspects of plants are affected by plant hormones (chemical messengers), including auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins.
Abscisic Acid, Ethylene, and Nontraditional Hormones
All physiological aspects of plants are affected by plant hormones, including abscisic acid, ethylene, and nontraditional hormones.
Plant Responses to Wind and Touch
Plants respond to wind and touch by changing their direction of growth, movement, and shape.
Plant Defense Mechanisms
Defense responses against herbivores
Plants defend against herbivores with mechanical wounding, barriers, secondary metabolites, and attraction of parasitoids.
Defense responses against pathogens
Plants defend against pathogens with barriers, secondary metabolites, and antimicrobial compounds.
