Misdreavus has been the best Ghost-type in Little Cup for as long as it has been LC legal, with 19 Speed, excellent Special Attack, great bulk, and very few flaws. By running Will-O-Wisp and Pain Split, Misdreavus can serve as a defensive backbone, countering most Fighting-types, burning physical attackers with Will-O-Wisp, and tanking special attacks easily with its 60 / 85 special bulk. If it instead chooses to run Nasty Plot, Misdreavus becomes a potent offensive threat with very few counters. Overall, Misdreavus can play a valuable role on almost any team, especially with the prevalence of Fighting-types for it to switch into in Little Cup.
This set forgoes investing heavily in defenses to instead threaten teams with Misdreavus's excellent Special Attack and high Speed. Shadow Ball is Misdreavus's consistent STAB, hitting Psychic- and Ghost-types super effectively. Hidden Power Fighting complements Shadow Ball well with perfect coverage; while Thunderbolt does not provide coverage as well as Hidden Power Fighting, it is more powerful and hits crucial threats like Murkrow and Staryu harder. Nasty Plot boosts Misdreavus's Special Attack to dangerous levels, allowing it to KO most Pokemon in Little Cup in one or two hits. However, Nasty Plot only receives the third moveslot because it is not completely necessary for Misdreavus to pose an offensive threat; it is perfectly viable to run another support or coverage move over Nasty Plot. Will-O-Wisp gives Misdreavus the ability to support its team by burning physical attackers. Weakening its opponents' Attack also helps Misdreavus find opportunities to set up Nasty Plot. Substitute, on the other hand, allows Misdreavus to block status and eases prediction against Sucker Punch users. Eviolite gives Misdreavus staying power, while Life Orb allows Misdreavus to hit hard off the bat. However, with the boost from Nasty Plot, Life Orb is unnecessary, and its recoil is undesirable when combined with Substitute.
Misdreavus can easily set up on a lot of weaker Pokemon, especially defensive special attackers such as Bronzor and Lileep; burned Pokemon such as Croagunk are also setup fodder for Misdreavus. However, this set is not as bulky as defensive Misdreavus, so while it can still provide useful synergy and good natural bulk, teams looking for a more durable pivot should be running the bulkier set instead.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set takes advantage of Misdreavus's excellent special bulk and ability to wall physical attacks with the help of Will-O-Wisp. Misdreavus can easily wall many threats in the tier, including the multitude of Fighting-types bar Scraggy and Timburr running Payback. Will-O-Wisp allows Misdreavus to burn physical attackers, cutting their Attack in half to make it much easier to weather their assaults. Will-O-Wisp is also useful for Misdreavus to hit Pokemon such as Porygon that would otherwise wall it; the extra residual damage proves useful in wearing them down. Shadow Ball is reliable STAB, hitting Abra and other Psychic-types hard. Misdreavus can also take a hit from opposing unboosted Misdreavus and Shadow Ball back in a pinch. Hidden Power Fighting provides perfect coverage with Shadow Ball, heavily damaging Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Pawniard. It is recommended to burn Pawniard with Will-O-Wisp first to avoid and weaken Sucker Punch, however. The last moveslot depends on what support is available to Misdreavus from its teammates; Pain Split is useful to grant Misdreavus greater longevity, but is unnecessary with Wish support. Heal Bell, on the other hand, prevents status from crippling Misdreavus and its teammates. However, there are other Heal Bell users available in Little Cup, such as Chinchou, should you opt not to run Heal Bell on Misdreavus.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
When equipped with a Choice Scarf, Misdreavus becomes a powerful and extremely speedy revenge killer. Choice Scarf allows Misdreavus to outspeed even Sandshrew in sand, as well as +2 Tirtouga and Clamperl. Shadow Ball and Hidden Power Fighting or Thunderbolt give Misdreavus the coverage to revenge such threats as Murkrow, Clamperl, Tirtouga, Gastly, and weakened Scraggy and Misdreavus. Due to Misdreavus's high Speed with a Choice Scarf, Destiny Bond allows it to get an almost guaranteed kill once it has reached the end of its usefulness. It can also be used to revenge sweepers that cannot be finished off with its offensive moves, but a Choice-locked Destiny Bond can give your opponent free turns to set up if they predict correctly. Trick allows Misdreavus to cripple defensive Pokemon such as Porygon and Lileep that would otherwise wall it and lets Misdreavus function as an all out offensive attacker.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
The combination of Choice Specs and Nasty Plot might seem like a weird idea at first, but when used in conjunction with Trick, it is a very reliable and surprising way to quickly disorient your opponent and let Misdreavus grab a Nasty Plot boost. This set works based off of the fact that most of Misdreavus's counters hate being Tricked Choice Specs. Shadow Ball is Misdreavus's main attacking option. It's a reliable STAB move that has perfect accuracy and is very powerful with a Choice Specs attached. Hidden Power Fighting is then used to give perfect coverage alongside Shadow Ball, hitting Dark- and Steel-types for super effective damage. However, Misdreavus can also reliably Trick its Choice Specs away to an unsuspecting opponent, crippling it for the rest of the match. Then, they will either be locked into a move that Misdreavus can set up on, or they will be forced to switch. Either way, Misdreavus will have a window of opportunity to set up with Nasty Plot, boosting its Special Attack to frightening levels. However, if Nasty Plot is unwanted, Thunderbolt can be used, easily OHKOing Murkrow and hitting Vullaby hard.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Misdreavus has a ton of support options, such as Taunt, Will-O-Wisp, Pain Split, Substitute, Heal Bell, and Memento, which can be mixed together to provide the support Misdreavus's team needs. A set of Calm Mind, Rest, Sleep Talk, and Shadow Ball is an option, but is not very good due to BW's sleep mechanics; just use Nasty Plot if you want to boost Misdreavus's Special Attack. RestTalk sets in general offer Misdreavus its only recovery outside of Pain Split, but even relying on Wish support is preferable. In using Misdreavus on your team, keep in mind that, thanks to its excellent stats and typing, it will probably do a good job regardless of the moves you put on it!
Checks and Counters
Misdreavus has very few counters. Stunky is one of the only Pokemon that can switch into Misdreavus without being 2HKOed and still be able to threaten it, but Stunky is crippled by Will-O-Wisp and is mediocre in the current metagame anyway. Porygon is probably the best check to Misdreavus; while it is 2HKOed by +2 Hidden Power Fighting, Porygon can Thunder Wave Misdreavus to cripple it and wear it down with Shadow Ball. Houndour can check Misdreavus with Sucker Punch and resists Shadow Ball, but fears Hidden Power Fighting. Murkrow can switch into anything but Will-O-Wisp and Thunderbolt and threaten a OHKO with Sucker Punch or a 2HKO with Brave Bird. Vullaby is bulkier than Murkrow and can Whirlwind Misdreavus away. Lileep is very specially defensive and can Toxic Misdreavus to wear it down; however, Lileep is too weak to do much damage in any other fashion. However, it is not always necessary to pack a dedicated counter to Misdreavus. Most teams that have Misdreavus rely on it to take attacks from common Fighting-types and other threats in the tier, but as Misdreavus lacks recovery, it can often be worn down by Stealth Rock, U-Turns, Hail, or Sandstorm until it eventually reaches low enough health to be picked off by Choice Scarf users or priority. Pokemon such as Knock Off Mienfoo can lure in Misdreavus and Knock Off its Eviolite to help wear it down; every bit of chip damage against Misdreavus will help to defeat it.

A very nice cd indeed...
However, according to a reliable source the date mentioned for this concert is NOT correct!
It's not: "March 30, 1975 dinner show".
The correct date for the concert on this cd should be: "March 28, 1975 midnight show".
According to several Elvis sites Ernst Jorgensen also commited the mistake and has corrected it. It is indeed the March 28, 1975 ms show (as could be easily told by the introduction of Barbra Streisand that night).Originally Posted by Sonny
That is a little surprising that such an error was made with this CD before it was released! I'm sure it is very difficult for Ernst & Co. to keep all the dates straight, considering all of the concert recordings they have in their vaults.....but still....shouldn't some proofreading or some type of error checking have gone into the information on this show before it was released with the wrong date???
I realize that the FTD releases are aimed at the collectors and that we have more information at our disposal to verify the accuracy of the information we are given on these CD's than the casual Elvis fans.....but considering this is the 45TH release on the FTD label, shouldn't these types of errors be preventable by now??
EVEN AS I POST THIS MESSAGE I am listening to BIG BOSS MAN for the first time, and I've got to say that so far, I am quite impressed with this show!!! Well paced and GREAT song lineup thus far!!! Definitely considering writing a review of this CD soon....
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
Upon first learning of the release of this CD, most Elvis fans were a little surprised that the Follow That Dream (FTD) Collector's Label was planning to release another live recording from 1975. But most Elvis fans will agree that 1975 was generally one of Elvis' best concert years, and like the previous FTD releases covering Elvis' live shows from 1975 (DIXIELAND ROCKS and DINNER AT EIGHT), the latest release from the FTD label -- BIG BOSS MAN -- will NOT disappoint!!
BIG BOSS MAN showcases The King on stage during his March '75 engagement in Las Vegas, and the main portion of the CD brings us Elvis' entire performance from the Midnight Show on March 28, 1975. (**NOTE: The CD cover states that the main show is the Dinner Show from March 30, 1975....but recent information from Ernst Jorgensen confirms that this date is incorrect and that the show contained on BIG BOSS MAN is indeed the Midnight Show on March 28**)
While the show itself is a bit short for a Midnight Show, Elvis really delivers a mostly solid performance from beginning to end. From the opening bars of SEE SEE RIDER, the listener can tell that Elvis is in high spirits and his overall delivery of his traditional opening number provides us with our first clue that we are in for a great show!
I GOT A WOMAN/AMEN and LOVE ME are up next and are unremarkable for the most part with Elvis' giving us the standard delivery of these numbers! Elvis then launches into a great version of IF YOU LOVE ME (LET ME KNOW) and quickly follows it up with one of his first live performances of AND I LOVE YOU SO, which is delivered beautifully!!! BIG BOSS MAN is next on the set list, and once again, Elvis delivers a rocking version of this song for us! Two of Elvis' more recent recordings are featured next -- a haunting version of IT'S MIDNIGHT and a fantastic version of PROMISED LAND (dig the electric piano opening from David Briggs on this one!)!
After listening to the audience shout out some requests, Elvis decides to fulfill a request for BURNING LOVE and delivers a decent version of the song...one of the better versions I have heard from a 1975 show! The band introductions are up next and then Elvis launches into one of his best 1975 showstopping ballads, MY BOY! Following a better than average version of I'LL REMEMBER YOU, the remainder of the show's quality slides just a little bit. A rather quick version of LET ME BE THERE is followed by throwaway performances of HOUND DOG and AMERICAN TRILOGY before the show comes to a somewhat premature ending with the standard CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE! With the exception of the last 4 songs, this show is definitely one of Elvis' best performances of 1975! Elvis does a nice job of mixing the uptempo numbers with some of his most beautiful ballads, and with the exceptions of BURNING LOVE and HOUND DOG, Elvis really tries to focus more on the contemporary material he had recently introduced into his concert lineup, as opposed to settling for his classic songs. Overall, I think this combination makes for a very enjoyable listening experience in my opinion!
Following the conclusion of the main portion of BIG BOSS MAN, fans are treated to 8 bonus performances recorded during various other shows during Elvis' March 1975 Las Vegas engagement. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY YOU LOVE ME is a nice treat to hear back in Elvis' concert lineup, and Elvis delivers a good version of it here. THE WONDER OF YOU starts out about 1/3 of the way through the song, although it is hard to tell if Elvis does this intentionally or if this is the result of an edit in the master tape, but otherwise this is a fairly standard performance of this song for 1975. An above average BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER is followed by the somewhat throwaway LITTLE DARLIN'. HAWAIIAN WEDDING SONG, a real rarity for 1975, is performed well by Elvis, and is followed by excellent versions of GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME and FAIRYTALE....two newer entries in the Elvis catalog! The CD concludes with the now familiar, albeit rare, off-the-cuff performance of YOU'RE THE REASON I'M LIVING!
The overall sound quality of the main show contained on BIG BOSS MAN is very good after a shaky start during ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA (THEME TO 2001) and the first 1/3 of SEE SEE RIDER. The sound quality of the bonus songs varies slightly from track to track, but again are very listenable and not that much different from the main show. As compared to the other live FTD releases from 1975, I would rate BIG BOSS MAN a notch above DINNER AT EIGHT but a notch below DIXIELAND ROCKS!
For the most part, the artwork for BIG BOSS MAN is standard FTD fare. A great action shot of Elvis graces the front cover, and another nice photo of Elvis can be found under the CD tray....sadly, the rest of the package is lacking in photos aside from 2 small color photos on the inside front cover. The front cover photo is framed by a nice 2-tone green border, with Elvis' name and the CD title also done in the same 2-tone green color scheme. The inside front cover and back cover feature the track listing and pertinent (albeit sparse) recording information, again done with the 2-tone green color scheme. The CD itself is quite eye catching, in my opinion, using 3 different shades of green. Of course, the most glaring problem (at least with early copies of BIG BOSS MAN) is the incorrect recording date information contained on the inside front cover, as mentioned above. (According to Ernst Jorgensen, the problem has been corrected.)
All-in-all, most Elvis fans should be very pleased with BIG BOSS MAN! This is one CD that should be in every Elvis fans collection and deserves ample time in your CD player!!!

Nice review overall and I'll agree to most things said - just say: isn't the font a little oversized?
Thanks again Mike for the review
without a song, a man ain't got a friend,
without a song, the road would never bend,
without a song, so I'll keep singing the song.
Excellent review, Mike! The thing that stands out to me about it (besides how well written it is) is that you cranked it out in an incredibly short amount of time. I'm jealous! I'm digressing though...Again, very nicely done, buddy.

THANKS BUDDY!!!Originally Posted by Lonniebealestreet
As I typed my original post, stating that I would consider writing a review "soon", I was listening to BIG BOSS MAN for the first time, and the more I heard, the more inspired I was to write a review...especially considering what a FANTASTIC CD it is!!!
And actually....I would have had the review done sooner than I did, but I got hung up on the phrasing in a couple of places and it took me a while to figure out how I wanted to word what I was trying to convey!
But as always, I appreciate your kind words pal....THANK YOU for the glowing review of my review!!!
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
I just got mine this is the best 1975 concert EVER heard keep e'm comin' FTD!
When? When? When?
I adore Elvis in 1975,he was great in that year and i'm sure this cd
is fantastic.
So it's a very sad thing that poor fans may not hear the samples.
Poor people can't buy FTD cd's.
The samples are for them (in theory).
Hello, I?m from Brazil, I would like to know if sombody know where I can find FTD in mp3 to download.... because in Brazil, we don?t have none cd FTD. RCA don?t like us from Brazil... Please help me to find some albuns... full.... thank?s....
IMHO, this is a great show, and a great release by FTD. I really enjoy Elvis in 1975. This show has him rocking on "Promised Land" and "Burning Love" back-to-back! His version of "And I Love So" is simply beautiful. I'm not going to review the entire CD, but I will be listening to this one over and over again.. Thanks FTD!
I believe that this is one of his best shows! MAN! I've listened to it over and over again and can't get enough! It sounds in a great mood and he tears into every song he performs. This IS a must have album!!!

It's that time of year again. I'm supposed to write some kind of rundown of the year highlighting the ups and downs. Look to the future. Make resolutions. Count my blessings. Recap events. Write some kind of list, maybe? But the brain. The brain is dead. The brain was worked overtime for too long and has nothing left to give. I am a shell of my former self. I'm not depressed, just depleted.
But never mind all that. I've been a broken record of "poor me" lately to the point of embarrassment, but in a few days I am off to refuel. I should have done this ages ago but the schedule wasn't permitting, nor was the money, and then there was the sudden realization that something had to give. Now or never. And so I'm off to recapture a bit of the summer that was lost staring at a computer screen for too many hours. Off to spend a few days refueling, refreshing, and experiencing all of my favourite things: sun, warm breezes, ocean, PLANTS, fish, greenery, grasses, rocks, birds, taking photos, seeing, smelling, listening, walking. I'm not a sit on the beach vacationer. I can't stand the idea of lounging around with a whole new world to discover. What I always seem to need more than rest and relaxation when my perspective is swayed by exhaustion and depletion is to SEE things, have small adventures, and experience those little moments of wonder that bring me back to who I am and what I value most in life.
Funny how plants got me here in one way, yet they are also always a big part in finding my way back.
Oddly enough, by chance and luck, we are going back to Santiago de Cuba. I never thought I'd go there again and yet I am. I'm pretty excited about it for about a million reasons and am absolutely crazed with anticipation about getting to see some of the things we missed or had to pass over too quickly. One of the things that comes immediately to mind is The Cactus Garden. I had to run through it like a maniac last year. This time I hope to spend lots of time looking at each plant and watching the teeny, tiny hummingbirds flutter from one agave flower to the next.
If you'd like to see some of the pictures I took last year I have some plant photos here and non plant photos over here.
I hope you all have a great holiday and get a chance to spend some time filling up with the things that inspire you most and keep you in touch with who you are. Until next year!

The Dance of Reality
La danza de la realidad
"The extinct volcano of underground cinema has burst into life once again – with a bizarre, chaotic and startling film." — Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
Screenplay: Alejandro Jodorowsky
Producers: Michel Seydoux, Moisés Cosio, Alejandro Jodorowsky
Photography: Jean-Marie Dreujou
Editor: Maryline Monthieux
Production designer: Alisarine Ducoloms
Costume designer: Pascale Montandon-Jodorowsky
Music: Adan Jodorowsky
Sound: Claudio Vargas
In Spanish with English subtitles
With: Brontis Jodorowsky (Jaime), Pamela Flores (Sara), Jeremias Herskovits (Alejandro, child), Alejandro Jodorowsky (Alejandro, adult), Bastián Bodenhöfer (Carlos Ibáñez), Andres Cox (Don Aquiles), Adan Jodorowsky (anarchist), Cristobal Jodorowsky (Theosopher)
Festivals: Cannes (Directors' Fortnight) 2013
Our ultimate post-Closing Night extravagance is a special one-off New Zealand screening of cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky's stunning return to the screen for the first time in over 20 years. Gloriously entertaining and frequently funny, Jodorowsky's Dance takes us on a surreal journey back to his childhood and his tumultuous relationship with his fiercely idealistic, Stalin-admiring father.
"As purely personal a film as Jodorowsky has ever made, Dance of Reality features no shortage of the bizarro imagery and willful atonalities that have long been his stock-in-trade, but it all seems to stem from a more sincere, coherent place this time than in the flamboyant head movies (El Topo, The Holy
Mountain) that made him a star of the 1970s midnight movie scene…
This carnivalesque memory film (with particular echoes of Fellini's 8½ and Amarcord) transports us to the director's childhood hometown of Tocopilla, on Chile's northern coast, where we first meet young Alejandro (Jeremias Herskovits), along with his father, Jaime (very well played by Jodorwosky's real-life son Brontis), and mother, Sara (Pamela Flores), whose enormous bosom could serve as a storm shelter and who sings all her dialogue in a trilling soprano." — Scott Foundas, Variety
"Everything you wanted to know about Alejandro Jodorowsky but never imagined asking can be found in The Dance Of Reality, a joyously idiosyncratic exercise in imagined autobiography… A surprisingly witty, accessible magical mystery tour through his past that has cult potential in every baroque, eye-popping frame." — Allan Hunter, Screendaily

It wasn't so long ago that Alabama-LSU was just another good SEC rivalry. It had had its moments, yes, but it wasn't the game in the league. But then Nick Saban happened… at both schools. LSU rose under Saban in the early 2000s and Les Miles has kept the Tiger train a rollin' right along since taking over in 2005. Alabama returned to the pinnacle of college football soon after Saban landed in Tuscaloosa.
Now what was once a good SEC game is the top annual fistfight in college football. And a fistfight it is. Take it from Alabama center Barrett Jones:
"It'll definitely be the most physical game we play all year, without a doubt. The most physical games I've played in my life have been against them.
We really respect the way they play football. They're not really going to try to trick us. They're going to line up and play their defense and we're going to line up and play our offense. That's why we like playing them and that's why they like playing us. We both respect each other and both really are kind of founded on toughness."
What's truly amazing is just how closely Alabama and LSU stack up statistically.
In the SEC, Alabama ranks #2 in rushing offense, LSU #3. Alabama ranks #1 in scoring defense, LSU #3. Alabama is #1 in rushing defense, LSU is #2. Alabama is #1 in passing defense, LSU #2. Bama is #1 in total defense with LSU again #2.
The teams rank #1 (Alabama) and #2 (LSU) in first downs allowed. The Tide ranks first in turnover margin while LSU is third. Time of possession: Bama second, LSU fourth. LSU has recorded 23 sacks on the year, Alabama has registered 20.
In terms of both style of play and overall strength, the Crimson Tide and Tigers are cut from the same cloth. Since Saban's move to Tuscaloosa, the two teams have split their six meetings. Five of those games have been decided by nine points or less. Four have been decided by seven points or less. And twice the game has been decided in overtime. In the last four meetings, the winner hasn't scored more than 24 points.
So it's probable that the rest of America will have to yawn it's way through yet another defensive slugfest between these teams on Saturday night. Alabama/LSU isn't likely to offer the type of offensive fireworks that Oregon/Southern Cal is expected to provide. That's just fine with the folks Down South. They know that brand of run-first, defense-first football played by the Tide and the Tigers has helped the SEC to capture six straight BCS titles over teams with high-flying, flashy offenses.
Oh, many fans outside the South might be dreading this one, but at MrSEC.com… we're drooling over the thought of it.

The toes should not be that pronounced; if anything, there should only be a continuous curving outline indicating the tips of the toes. Also, the socks should have some creases or folds; it looks lie there are just two stripes on her calves, not socks.

Simply put, Nessa Haughton is sick to death of being good. Her father was well known for being puritanical and proper; her late husband was more of the same. Now that she's on her own, Nessa intends to behave as she chooses.
Her first act of rebellion, and freedom, is to sneak out of her sister's house to attend a masquerade. Dressed as woman of easy virtue, Nessa meets a most interesting man with brilliant blue eyes. A man who seems like just the sort of fellow she needs to teach her how to be less than circumspect. She tells him her name is Monique; she dances with him and kisses him, then she flees without ever revealing her identity.
A rake of the first water, Jack Ashecroft, Marquis of Foxhaven, has decided to mend his ways. No more masquerades and kisses from pretty pieces of fluff. The only person who ever loved him, his grandfather, has reached beyond the grave and sent Jack a letter imploring him to become the kind of man others can respect.
Jack wants to honor his grandfather's request, but he has his work cut out for him. Jack's convinced that his only way of regaining his place in Society is to marry a woman above reproach. In fact, his steward informs Jack that marrying a woman with an unimpeachable reputation is about the only way he will trust Jack with the money to run his estate.
Since Jack doesn't find the idea of a virgin innocent to be very appealing, his friends inform about a lovely young widow who would meet his needs perfectly. They assure him that Lady Haughton's reputation and background are squeaky clean and much admired by Society.
After Jack meets the pretty widow, with the very familiar brown eyes, he decides to act quickly in proclaiming his suit. Nessa instantly recognizes Jack as the man with the blue eyes she kissed at the masquerade. Despite her attraction to Jack, Nessa wants nothing to do with marriage – she's been there and done that and has no intention of ever doing it again.
For Nessa, matrimony is a trap to be carefully avoided. A seasoned campaigner, Jack has no intention of giving up his battle for Nessa's hand. Nor does he hesitate to blackmail "Monique" into looking favorably upon his suit.
Scandalous Virtue is an enjoyable Regency romp. The manners and mannerisms of the time are handled deftly by Ms. Hiatt. I found Nessa's desire for freedom and fun to be very compelling, in light of her strict upbringing.
Marrying Jack means Nessa will be forfeiting her newly prized freedom. This conflict provides some interesting bumps along the road to romance for these two. I also enjoyed Nessa's attempts to help her sister Prudence improve her marriage by becoming less of a puritan and more of a wife to her loving husband.

Wilderness Fly Fishing -
Rusty Borgers operates Flatirons Troutfitters out of Buffalo, Wyoming. He offers summer fishing pack trips in the stunning Cloud Peak Wilderness of the Big Horn Mountains. For years Rusty has graciously donated trips to Boulder Flycasters/Trout Unlimited for our annual auction. It seemed only fitting that we should reciprocate with a club outing. In early 2006 during the Fly Fishing Show in Denver, we agreed to such a trip during the week of August 14th. In a matter of days nine of us were signed up to go.
We'd heard about the fantastic setting, good fishing, and traditional yet comfortable camp that Flatiron Troutfitters maintained just outside the wilderness boundary on Flatiron Lake. It's about a 15-mile horseback ride from the trailhead to the camp. Consequently you won't see very many people– we saw two backpackers on the other side of a lake during 5 days in the area.
All of us were braced for a ride over difficult terrain. Most anticipated a sore gluteus maximus and weak knees. It took a bit over 4 hours including a couple of brief stops. In the end, the anticipation of pain was far worse than the reality. We were all fine and ready to fish the minute we got to camp.
Our campsite was located on a high spot 50 yards from Flatiron Lake and 50-feet from a cascading stream that fed the next lake 500-yards down the valley. You could stand next to the cook tent and watch fish rising in large pool about 50 feet wide. If this sounds idyllic, it was!
We had our choice of lake or stream fishing for brook trout, cutthroats, rainbows, and cutbows (cross of the last two species). Brook trout were the predominant species in the area and they averaged 10 to 14 inches. None of these fish see many flies so catching them was a fairly simple process. If you really wanted to concentrate on catching fish, 100+ a day would be an easy feat. Fishing is the primary motive but it is just a just a part of the overall experience.
Aside from the remote location the fishing is good because Rusty strictly maintains a catch and release philosophy. If you want a trout dinner (none of us did) it's going to be small brookies.
In this area there are lakes where large brook trout and cutthroats can be found. In fact, we fished a lake where I could clearly see 5-pound brook trout lying on the bottom of an inlet 20 feet below us. We couldn't get any of the larger fish to take. Over three hours I probably tried 20 different patterns fished in a variety of ways. There is no question about it. I'm going back for one of those trout!
Roughly 60% of my fishing was with dry flies (sizes 14 to 10) and the other 40% was with streamers (sizes 10 to 8). I could have fished with dries the entire time but I was after some of the larger fish in deep water. I brought two rods with me, a 4-weight and a 3-weight. I didn't bother with waders, but I did have some feather-light hip boots and knee-high wading socks.
Rather than create a list of the obvious gear one needs, here is what I wish I had taken --
1. Good quality wading boots suitable for walking over rough terrain – the light-weight boots I selected turned out to be a problem
It was a great experience. We caught plenty of fish, had a great many laughs, ate well, and fell asleep to the sound of running water. It doesn't get much better!
Rusty Borgers and Flatiron Troutfitters can be reached on the web via www.flatirontroutfitters.com
By the way Boulder Flycasters is going to do a back-to-back trip (6 or 12 days) in July/August of 2007. If you're interested send me an email – click here

I also wanted to give a shout out of congratulations to Scott Kieff, another old friend, who President Obama nominated to the U.S. International Trade Commission.
And, of course, congratulations to whoever the Republican talent-spotters who identified Scott and Josh to be nominated to these Commissions. It is heartening to see smart, capable nominees like Scott and Josh emerging from the vetting process.

Ordering a Custom Tune?Whether it's a new mod or just an octane change on your existing tunes, our Bama Performance calibrators have got you covered in a few easy steps:
- Buy this Tuner & Submit your Mustang's Info
- A Bama Performance Calibrator writes custom tunes just for your Mustang & Mods
- Load 'em on your Mustang and GO!
- As you add new mods, Bama will update your tune files for FREE!
Gain Up to 60+ RWHP. Looking for the simplest and most affordable way to bolt on some serious power and torque to your 2011+ Mustang GT? Than look no farther than this Ford Racing Boss 302 Mainifold, Airaid Cold Air Intake and SF3 Tuner combo kit from AmericanMuscle. Our dyno test before and after this package and showed gains of up to 61 RWHP and 43 ft-lb of torque, making this a must-have mod for any serious performance enthusiast.
Ford Racing BOSS 302 Intake Manifold
More Air for More Power. Your 5.0L Coyote V8's stock manifold is designed to perform well at the low end, but it chokes off airflow at the top. When you want peak power, this Ford Racing BOSS 302 "runner in the box" Intake Manifold is designed to channel more air directly into your engine and set the stage for other power mods.
Airaid Cold Air Intake
Free Flowing Design. The Airaid Cold Air Intake kit was specifically designed to replace your 2011+ GT Mustang's restrictive stock factory air box with a high flow filter assembly to maximize airflow for a noticeable increase in horsepower and acceleration that you can feel.
SCT SF3/X3 Power Flash Tuner w/ 3 Free Custom Tunes (11-14 GT)
Power you can Tune. The SCT SF3 handheld tuner will allow you to re-tune your Mustang's computer for more power and better drivability. We even included free custom Bama tunes to take full advantage of your new Airaid Cold Air Intake!
Increased HP and torque. From the factory, the manufacturer programs their vehicles to cater to the needs of the daily driver, not the performance enthusiast. After loading the custom Bama Tune on a vehicle, even a bone stock, unmodified Mustang will realize noticeable gains in HP, Torque, and Fuel Economy.
Increase your mod's potential. Factory computer settings are calibrated for the original factory components. When making performance modifications, you need to recalibrate the vehicle's computer to realize the full potential that these modifications can achieve.
Free tunes for life! Every customer that purchases a tuner from AmericanMuscle is enrolled in the "Free tunes for life" program. Any time that you make additional mods to your vehicle, our team of SCT certified Bama Custom Tuners will create new tunes for you.
Custom Bama Tunes specific to your vehicle. When you order a tuner, you aren't just getting a tuner - you are getting the tuner and 3 dyno-tested custom Bama tunes:
- Street (87-93 octane) - the street tune is designed as a daily driver program that focuses in on increasing mid-range power. It does give up a few HP at higher RPMs, but that's why there is a Performance file. Automatic vehicles are further enhanced by making adjustments to the transmission's shift points and firmness.
- Performance (87-93 octane) - The Performance program is designed to add power at 3000 RPMs and higher, focusing more on the top end horsepower and all out performance driving. Timing, fuel and throttle response settings are slightly more aggressive than the street tune. This is a great track tune but also works well for daily drivers that are looking for a little more "get up and go" than the street tune. The automatic transmission settings are the same as in the street tune.
- Race (91 - 93 octane) - The race tune will ensure the largest increase in vehicle performance. Using the highest grade of fuel available in your area is mandatory. This file is designed for "Race only Use" as the timing, fuel, and throttle response settings are very aggressive. In fact, the adjustments are so aggressive, that we do not recommend it for daily driving as it may cause your vehicle to try to jump out from a stop and easily spin the tires. Finally, with the automatics, we implement entirely new shift points and firmness settings to further enhance the all-out performance of the vehicle.
Nitrous (91-unleaded race gas) - Our nitrous option can be added to any of our previously mentioned tune options, but only for 91-octane unleaded fuel.
Easy to load; easy to restore. Not only are the custom tunes easy to load on your vehicle, it is just as easy to restore your factory settings. When you load your custom tune on the vehicle, the tuner automatically stores your vehicle's factory settings. To return the vehicle to its factory settings, just plug the tuner back in, select the option to restore the factory settings, and you're done.
SCT SF3/XCalibrator 3 Power Flash Tuner Features:
- Handheld Tuner based off of SCT's premier LiveWire Tuner
- Bama Performance Warranty Information for 2011+ GT's
- Reads / Clears DTC Trouble Codes
- Avg. HP gain on a stock Mustang with 91 Octane = 22 HP
- Enhanced data logging with 8 times the onboard memory (128MB Total!) of previous handhelds in the SCT lineup
- Upgraded 4-line backlit display
- Custom tuning applications for 2011-2014 GT
- Click for Instructions on Loading Custom Tunes to your Mustang.
Stock Air Box. If you plan to run your new Ford Racing BOSS 302 Intake Manifold with your stock air box, you will need to purchase the BOSS 302 Mustang Intake Manifold Install Kit which includes all the additional parts necessary for proper installation.
BOSS 302 Strut Tower Brace. Reduce unwanted suspension flex while greatly improving the handling of your Coyote powered GT by adding the BOSS 302 Strut Tower Brace. The brace is the exact strut tower brace featured as standard equipment on the BOSS 302 Mustang. Please see drop down option above.
**NOTE: Programming custom tunes may take 3-4 business days. We recommend ordering other products separately to avoid delay. Some heavily modified cars are not tunable with a mail order tune. Click for details.
Stock fuel rails can be reused for this application.
Stock and aftermarket strut tower braces designed to clear factory GT manifolds will not fit.

When priceline only said I'll only have to pay the first night if cancel. Only one elevator working.The valet was a disaster. I was from 20 to 1 hour waiting with no rush. You call from your room to pickup your car and when you went sometimes nobody told them nothing. So no organization and then hotel staff never apologize they just tell you that service wasn't directly from the hotel, wow what an answer. It has no pool either and not every floor theirs and icemachine. The staff their just not willing to help you. I am a general manager of hotel in Puerto Rico and use to be of Red Roof Inn West Palm Beach and even their which is cheap the service was better and more professional, so imagine. ... more

Kidney stones may be one of the most painful urologic conditions. Kidney stones seldom require open surgery and many patients can pass stones naturally. If the stones cannot be passed and medical attention is required, less invasive procedures often can be used.

Life Under the Cloud
It's been a year of big legal stories, but none bigger than the challenges of cybersecurity.
|0 Comments
Your heart may still beat faster when you hear the words "snow day." The magic of those words is most potent when spoken by parents to young children lying in bed. (For those who haven't lived in a chilly climate, they translate to: No School!)
These days, some lawyers probably have a very different association with a similar phrase. For them, the second half of 2013 was filled with all too many "Snowden days." Each one brought a new revelation from former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, and new questions and accusations directed at companies that suddenly had some explaining to do. The reaction of many lawyers was probably a strong desire to go back to bed.
The Snowden leaks were a part of one of the big stories for in-house lawyers last year: the challenge of ensuring the privacy and security of corporate communications. The story went way beyond Snowden, of course. Bring your own device (BYOD) was part of it. So were the disparities between privacy laws in different jurisdictions.
In a way, Snowden was an extension of the Wikileaks story a couple of years ago. But this time the leaks weren't U.S. Department of State cables. They included consumer data, and the ramifications were felt more directly in the corporate world—especially by companies like Microsoft, Google, Facebook and AT&T, which were criticized for allegedly cooperating with the government's vast data mining machine. (The companies have insisted that they cooperated no more than the law required.)
Snowden's disclosures have underscored the divergent privacy laws around the world—particularly those that govern the United States and the European Union. The gap has led politicians in Europe to question whether local standards ought to be established to regulate the Internet. It's one of the year's big stories, according to Matt Fawcett, general counsel of storage and data management company Netapp.
Fawcett sees cloud computing accelerating "a collision of privacy, cybersecurity and related concerns." And he worries that "bad facts (might) make bad law: Efficiencies created by technology may be subverted by a complex web of emerging privacy regulations and data sovereignty concerns." The big danger, he says: "High-profile breaches risk causing overreactions—well-meaning in intent but impractical."
What else commanded the attention of busy legal chiefs? "It's hard to imagine a bigger story generally for professional women, and therefore women in law," says Fiona Arnold, the general counsel of Vail Resorts Inc., "than the conversation sparked this year by [Facebook executive] Sheryl Sandberg's [book] 'Lean In.'" Arnold, who resigned at the end of November after seven years at the helm, goes on to say, "It has led to a deeper discussion around the hidden biases, gender pay inequality and the reasons women opt out of pursing their careers through partnership or senior executive leadership."
Outside counsel management is never far from a GC's mind, and last year there was a lot to think about. "What started a few years back in response to the recession," says Susan Hackett, founder of the consulting firm Legal Executive Leadership, "has now become an unseemly circus of daily stories that are shattering presumptions about the infallibility of the American Large Law Firm Business Model."
Hackett, Arnold and Fawcett all took aim at the practice of law. "This was the year of living dangerously for anyone in a firm who didn't produce sufficient profit RIGHT NOW," says Hackett. Arnold notes, "Disruptive ideas have been emerging with greater frequency, such as outsourcing legal work to cheaper legal markets." Fawcett says, "This year saw a surge in general counsel creating the 'operations' position in their departments, to realize the benefits and efficiencies of running the department more like a business." He adds: "Welcome to the modern world."
Another way to gauge big stories is to count readers' mouse clicks. We can only do that on CorpCounsel.com, of course, but the results are worth noting. For our readers, in-house compensation is always news. Our compensation survey yielded two of the 13 most-clicked stories of 2013 (including the one at the top of the heap), and a trend story on compensation also made the list.

Studies in Software as a Service
You can find a web service that does almost anything your home computer can do. This month we study some examples of Software as a Service.
Years ago, it was common for an application to run on a central system with a ring of users operating through terminals or terminal-style network connections. This vision lives on today in the form of web-based applications providing software as a service. The web-application paradigm means no one has to burn the software onto a CD, package it in a colorful box, and ship it to a retail shop. In fact, you don't even need to provide a download link or offer a help line for users who can't get through the installation. All the end user needs to do is start up a browser and click on a link.

Micah Brandt and Donny Wright are happily wrapped up in each others hot embrace as they kiss with manly passion. Micahs lips traverse the landscape of Donnys muscular body running from nipple to nipple, down along his treasure trail until he winds up hitting pay dirt as he swallows his partners thick erect dick. He sucks on the meat pole greedily and the two continue their sexual floorshow as they twist around so Donny can dig in and rim Micahs ass. The big guys tonguing skills have his buddy tingling with excitement and every lick is marked with a satisfied moan. Having prepped Micahs hole, Donny pierces through with his big cock. He charges right in moving in a steady rhythm, then pumps faster and faster. Micahs eyes roll back in his head as he gasps for air, grasps his cock and strokes it until he squeezes out a milky load. Donny is quick to answer as he finishes himself off by hand and blasts Micahs mug with his jizz.

Florida jobless rate hits highest level on recordby Jeff Ostrowski
The region's jobless rates fell slightly in February but remained near their highest levels since the 1992 recession, and Florida unemployment rose to its highest number on record.
Palm Beach County unemployment dipped to 12.4 percent last month from 12.5 percent in January, the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation said today.
Martin County's jobless rate dropped to 13.2 percent in February from 13.6 percent in January. St. Lucie County unemployment fell to 14.9 percent from 15 percent.
The statewide seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to 12.2 percent, up from 12 percent in January and well above the national average of 9.7 percent.
Agency for Workforce Innovation Director Cynthia R. Lorenzo tried to put an optimistic spin on the worst jobs report on state statistics that date back four decades.
"Last month's positive job growth of 26,300 jobs and a 300 percent reduction in the number of layoff notices since the peak last May are both encouraging signs of an improving economy," Lorenzo said in a statement.
UPDATE: Sean Snaith, director of the University of Central Florida's Institute for Economic Competitiveness, likwise sees hope for recovery.
"Unemployment is up, but so are payroll jobs," Snaith said. "This conflicting data is an indication that were getting close to, if not at, a turning point in Florida's labor market … The industries that we see gaining jobs are temporary employment agencies, which are typically a precursor for broader job growth across the state."

Findings from the Motorola Solutions annual holiday shopper study highlighted the impact on the shopper experience across various age demographics.
Some key highlights include:
- Nearly one-half of Gen Y shoppers, 38 percent of Gen X shoppers and 32 percent of Baby Boomer shoppers felt better connected to product information than associates.
- 64 percent of Gen Y and 52 percent of Gen X shoppers accessed a personal mobile device for shopping-related activities compared to only 37 percent of Boomers and less than 15 percent of pre-Boomer shoppers.
- Nearly one-half (48 percent) of shoppers reported that helpful store associates motivated them to spend more in-store.
- 72 percent of shopping-related walkouts resulted in lost sales – an average loss per abandonment of $156.

Some new rumors indicate that Verizon may have finalized part of the pricing for their 4G LTE Unlimited Data Plan, and that it will launch at $29.99 per month. This would be pretty good news if it turns out to be true; however, please take this with a grain of salt as this kind of 'unconfirmed' industry rumor can easily turn out to be false. In fact, another rumor circulating the interwebs suggests that it will be $29.99 for the data service, and an additional $15 dollars for 4G service. Until we get either an official confirmation or multiple confirms from our insider sources, we'll play a game of 'wait and see'. Get out your four-leaf clover, or lucky rabbit's foot.

Aids Weekly Plus
The US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and Roche Diagnostics have agreed to a five-year partnership to strengthen laboratory services in the African countries most affected by HIV/AIDS. The partners initiated this public-private effort to address challenges faced by local health systems in sub-Saharan Africa, where most of the world's HIV-infected population lives. At present, only three percent of the world's healthcare workers live in sub-Saharan Africa.
PEPFAR directly supports 4.5 million persons on antiretroviral treatment (ART) in low- and middle-income nations; the United States plans to increase this coverage to 6 million persons by the end of 2013. The goal of the Roche/PEPFAR effort is to build the capacity of national and regional partners in Africa for diagnostic laboratory services. "Fifty to 70 percent of clinical decisions depend on accurate laboratory diagnosis," stated Eric Goosby, MD, the US Global AIDS Coordinator.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a worldwide leader in strengthening laboratory services, will implement the PEPFAR end of this partnership. Steps will include the development of certification programs for lab technicians and pre-service curricula and the establishment of quality improvement for laboratory systems. Roche Laboratories will supply training programs for the initiative. The United States has committed $12 million over the five-year effort to promote country ownership and sustainability for diagnostic lab services.

Takin' the Blog for a Walk
Join Waukesha resident Brien Lee and his blog, Sir Fido, as they explore the city and report on the interesting things they find.
Email Brien at email@example.com.
I Owe I Owe it's off to blog I go
I owe a lot of people a debt of gratitude.
Thanks to Jeff at North American Computer for repairing our computer twice in the last couple weeks. The blog is a happy blog. Thanks also to visitors of WaukeshaNOW for their patience while Jeff did his thing.
Mayor for Mayor
My prediction for the mayoral primary? One of the winners will be Mayor Nelson. He's done and is doing more for the city than any other mayor. He seems to have been working well with other governments, council members and city staff. Even though I'm not real happy about our assessment, flooding or condition of city streets, I can't hold Mayor Larry personally responsible for the state of the economy or acts of God. Larry is a tireless cheerleader for the city and has a decent plan for it's future.
Who will his opponent be in April? My guess would be Jeff Scrima. Jeff seems to have a bigger following, especially with younger voters. He's spent a lot on front page Freeman ads and has a decent web site. Jeff has quite a few contemporary, if impractical, ideas. Jeff is dead-set against buying water from Milwaukee, with good reason. I was especially interested in his position on water from the Fox River and quarries, since I take some credit (blame?) for first mentioning it here Feb. 18, 2007. I thought it a good idea at the time, but found no support. Jeff clearly did more investigating than I and thinks it feasable. We must still go through with the Great Lakes application, but it would be nice to have a backup plan.

The 'Do for You1 of 9
By Ning Chao
Whether you're a total perfectionist or a fearless nonconformist, don't let your 'do suffer from an identity crisis. We spoke to Manhattan–based hairstylist Ashley Javier who tells how to find the perfect hairstyle to reflect your true self.
The Tomboy2 of 9
"When I trimmed Olivia Wilde's bangs last fall, we snipped the rest of her hair a little bit too to create a boy-cut look," reveals Javier. "Blunt bangs give hair a sense of toughness. These are women who want to say they're down with the boys. They're not precious." Plus, bangs create an instant style, even when you're pulling the rest of your hair back into a sporty ponytail. "The trick to styling bangs is hairspray," according to Javier. "Spray it on your brush or your fingers and use it aggressively to thicken strands with an extra coating. You don't want your bangs to look fluffy."
The Life of the Party3 of 9
Always the center of attention, party girls know how to have fun. With brightly hued strands that range from Lady Gaga platinum to Katy Perry blue, Type A women use even their hair as an attention-getter. "These girls are playing with color and normalizing it. They've stretched the boundaries," says Javier. "The hairstyle itself can be cartoonish, glamorous or classic, but I prefer for it to be a solid color."
The Bombshell4 of 9
Ask any Victoria's Secret supermodel—lush waves are the flirt's ultimate tool of seduction. "The bend in the hair accentuates the movement and shape of the body," says Javier. "There's even an hourglass shape in the Veronica Lake and Jessica Rabbit hair. This style will accentuate your curves." To sculpt this voluptuous silhouette, he suggests using a curling iron or hot rollers, then brushing strands into shape with a spritz of hairspray onto the bristles of a good finishing brush, like the Mason Pearson "Popular" model.
The Dreamer5 of 9
When your head is in the clouds, a braid suits you best. "Braids are no-brainer styles that have a natural elegance and an organic feel," says Javier, who likes both big flat braids and tiny cute side twists. He recommends using a dry shampoo and teasing sections to create a messier, romantic plait. For a sleeker look, apply gel and braid hair while it's still wet.
The Ingenue6 of 9
Long layering à la Jennifer Aniston is a classic compromise for the more demure woman who might want to hide behind her hair. Javier suggests asking your stylist to use a razor or thinning shears to soften pieces around the face. After all, you don't want your hair to be a literal curtain over your eyes. "Soothe those ends after you've razored them," adds Javier. "You need a serum or cream to hydrate, because you've carved into the hair and disrupted its natural flow."
The Perfectionist7 of 9
Type A personalities rejoice at the sight of a slick side part that's smooth and pristine. "This 1920s flapper-esque look is extremely glamorous," says Javier, who recommends applying protein gels to tame flyaways before and after blow-drying. "You can do this strong part with long, medium or short hair. The strictness comes from the part, which controls the look and creates line and structure," he adds.
The Rebel8 of 9
Freethinkers don't follow the rules—especially when it comes to their hair. Javier recently gave iconoclast actress Chloë Sevigny the ultimate wild-child coif: "I call it the 'shabeaux.' It's a shaggy bob that's cut into so it's slightly '50s and short in the top and back," says Javier, who suggests using mousse and pomade to control the style. "Bluntness makes it cute, but you don't want it so unkempt that you look maniacal."
The Go-Getter9 of 9
"Pixies create confidence," according to Javier, who says the cut works best on women who aren't afraid of standing out. To keep this super-short style flirty and feminine, he suggests mixing together gel and a hydrating serum because extreme crops tend to look dried out. "What makes this cut a pixie is that it's shiny and pretty. Otherwise it's just a short, choppy cut," he explains.

My mother doing the crossword puzzle, seated under our grape arbor. Her glasses seem to have a fan base here on Shorpy, so here they are close-up. It's not posed, and I probably got a dirty look after she heard the shutter click. For chronological context, I was two months shy of 17 when I took this Kodachrome, and my mother 54.

Old Mill Marketplace; part of First Monday Trade Days is pleased to present to YOU, our visitors, customers and vendors the offerings at our Old Mill Marketplace Complex – 7 Pavilions, The Village Shops and The Mountain.
First, THANKS for your interest in our marketplace in Canton, Texas. Old Mill Marketplace is a 100 acre development… three blocks from downtown Canton…on the North side of Highway 64… just across the highway from the famous Dog Alley.
The Village offers a unique atmosphere for vendors and customers that visit First Monday Trade Days with their "Texas Hill Country" style shops provide the best location for vendors interested in displaying their merchandise.
