As a high school student I could readily access any illegal drug you can think of, the more illegal it was the better the supply and quality you would find.
The funny thing about this was I could not get beer to save my life yet it was legal.
I wonder if guns are banned my kids will be playing with full autos to get their kicks, as it seems that we are starting to make drugs legal and will regulate them and make it harder for kids to get.
I find it odd that liberals want to ban guns to save kids but want it to be legal to kill kids before birth. I was taught that killing was killing no matter how it is done, how clean or messy it is dead is dead.

Live pack swap demo on Thurs night at 8pm California time at our design studio in Hawthorne. Seeing is believing.
I love the idea of all electricity cost being baked into the upfront cost of the car.
What's the importance of a battery swap?
How do you purchase the electricity ahead of time? Are you talking about the use of their charging network?
What's the importance of a battery swap? Can users maintain more than one battery at a time?
That's awesome....like a propane tank swap for my grill. How hard is it to swap?
Didn't think of it that way. How does Tesla intend to set up the electric car charging and swap station infrastructure? Existing fueling stations? Super centers?
Wonder if they can make this work for other cars too....like the Volt or the Leaf. Interchangeable batteries in the future maybe? I bet they could partner with GM or Toyota and gain that interchangeability and economies of scale in the future.
I wonder how much labor is involved in a swap.
Does tesla really produce a better car or are they just a first mover in a niche market?
According to Musk at a shareholders meeting a few weeks ago, he claims that they were going to announce a way to "recharge" the Model S's power supply faster than the average gas station fill up. I guess we'll see at the demo.
looks like they have a better shot at success than Fisker now.
I thought Musk was kind of foolish at first, and didn't have much faith in Tesla....looks like they have a better shot at success than Fisker now.
If you can do that daily stuff without stopping, then charge overnight PLUS when you take a long trip, swap a battery like you used to stop for gas, they have a winner.

From ROTF:
I'll get Leader Class Optimus Prime, Deluxe Sideswipe, probablly the new Deluxe BumbleBee.
Maybe the twins or at least one of them: Mudflap and Skids. They may not be completely repaints.
I'll look at various incarnations of Devastator or the single-packed (non-combining) Constructicons. Some look cool.
Starscream will have to be made Leader Class for me to buy him. The Voyager does look re-done though and might tempt me if the underside kibble is gone.
I don't know. I'm not planning ahead with these. I'll just consider buying when I see the toys released - or when I see the movie. I may loathe this movie.

It is not enough as a Scoutmaster these days to take boys camping, teach them a few skills, and hand out merit badges. Kids today, like kids in the past, and certainly this will apply in the future as society changes, kids grow up differently, and attitudes and norms change, are different.
I think that it is important to know why are the way they are to best be of service to them. Is this above and beyond? I don't think so, I think that we need to do our best to know who we work with. How else can we be of service.
We are experts at backpacking, or knot tying, or model rockets, but what are we doing to become experts at understanding young men.
I found this set of 5 videos that will help. I am going to post the first one here.. then just follow the links to the other 4. Or you can find all 5 video's at the BSA Internal Communication You Tube Channel. It is worth your time to watch these two ladies tell the Scout executives about young people. I learned a lot, I am sure this will help you to.
Be sure to watch the other 4.. I promise there is interesting information that will make you (and me) better Scout Leaders.

Oops: IPCC to withdraw claim that AGW will wipe out Himalayan glaciers by 2035
posted at 1:30 pm on January 17, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
The UN agency for "climate change" will withdraw a years-old claim that man-made climate change will destroy the Himalayan glaciers within 25 years — after its highly unscientific method of reaching this conclusion got exposed this week. Instead of conducting actual science themselves, with open and transparent methods, the IPCC apparently just read the claim in an interview and decided to adopt it. Now the original reporter in the interview claims that not only did the IPCC simply lift the claim without any investigation, they didn't understand it correctly in the first place:
A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it.
Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming. A central claim was the world's glaciers were melting so fast that those in the Himalayas could vanish by 2035.
In the past few days the scientists behind the warning have admitted that it was based on a news story in the New Scientist, a popular science journal, published eight years before the IPCC's 2007 report.
The Times of London makes a mistake in this opening. The blunders weren't "scientific" in nature — in other words, the errors did not stem from bad modeling, data, or assumptions in a scientific inquiry. The IPCC adopted the claim without doing any science on their own at all. They never tested the hypothesis that they read in the New Scientist. It matched their politics, not any kind of science they conducted or reviewed.
On top of that, it seems that the IPCC has some reading-comprehension problems:
The IPCC's reliance on Hasnain's 1999 interview has been highlighted by Fred Pearce, the journalist who carried out the original interview for the New Scientist. Pearce said he rang Hasnain in India in 1999 after spotting his claims in an Indian magazine. Pearce said: "Hasnain told me then that he was bringing a report containing those numbers to Britain. The report had not been peer reviewed or formally published in a scientific journal and it had no formal status so I reported his work on that basis.
"Since then I have obtained a copy and it does not say what Hasnain said. In other words it does not mention 2035 as a date by which any Himalayan glaciers will melt. However, he did make clear that his comments related only to part of the Himalayan glaciers. not the whole massif."
Um, okay. So the IPCC read the interview in which Hasnain speculated — with no scientific evidence whatsoever — that a portion of the Himalayan glaciers would melt at some indeterminate time, and concluded that the entirety of the massif would evaporate by 2035. They never even bothered to wait for Hasnain's report to see exactly what he claimed, and why. Instead, they just inflated the unsubstantiated speculation with a zeppelin of greenhouse-gas hyperbole and stated categorically that the entire glacial structure in the Himalayas would be gone in a quarter-century.
This is what passes for science at the UN. This is what passes for science at the IPCC. It's also what passed for science at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit.
And AGW hysterics like to call skeptics deniers, in what is clearly the most obvious case of projection on the global stage.
On the plus side, I believe I've found the basis for the next IPCC report and AGW hysteria. I want to warn you before you click on this that the video is extremely sensitive: it cost a fortune to produce and only a few people have been foolish enough to watch it all the way through. View at your own risk!

[QUOTE=badbullgator;378642][quote=cotts135;378618]Your missing one point Hew. What I did and when I did it was legal at the time. My contention is that what Rumsfeld and Ashcroft have done is illegal.You living in another dimension? Read everything I said not just part of it and do me a favor the next time you quote me use the whole quote
Perhaps the best example of someone having their head so far up their ass that they cant tell if it is day or night. It is OK when applied to me, but not for others.......
not just the part that suits your needs
Obviously your mindless submission to whatever the government says and your lack of critical and objective thinking is going to make it impossible to change your mind on what should be done in this case. My point in this whole thread is that there should be an investigation and if there is enough evidence to indict them then do it.
I think it safe to say you would disagree with that, and that's fine, but I think doing so says that these guys are above the law and that's something I think is wrong.

My Son My Son What Have Ye Done?
Head over to Eye for Film to check out my full review...

Glad you dug the movie, James! I'm curious to hear what someone who's neither a fan of Lynch or Herzog would think about it though. Personally I do prefer BAD LIEUTENANT, but for Herzog to put out both of them in the same year is pretty amazing. If only Lynch was that prolific! MY SON has a lot of unanswered questions, but that's also why I like it as much as I do. Shannon was great and I hope he works with Herzog more in the future.

- Ed Howard said...
Nice review. It's quite a coincidence that we both decided to post reviews of this film on the same day! It's such a weird and unsettling movie, creating a very unusual mood. Lynch didn't really contribute creatively, but it seems like Herzog absorbed some of his producer's aesthetic and sensibility anyway. Agreed about this film as a companion piece to Bad Lieutenant, as well. They're both great examples of Herzog approaching genre films and warping the crime/thriller genre to his own ideas.

- James said...
Aaron, if only Lynch was that prolific indeed! I prefered this to Bad Lieutenant - which I also dug way more than I thought I would have.
Thanks, Ed - great minds, eh? I know Lynch had the sense to step back and let Herzog get on with it, but I found it so hard not to see the producer's hand and own sensibilities seeping through in this one. Not to descredit Herzog, but so much of My Son could be described as 'Lynchian.'

Wow. I haven't updated my diary in ages. I've done a lot since Febuary, but if you've followed the jEdit project, you pretty much know the whole story.
Wow. I haven't updated my diary in ages. I've done a lot since Febuary, but if you've followed the jEdit project, you pretty much know the whole story.
Hardware is becoming increasingly more sophisticated, and faster, but are computers becoming really better performing? Startup times have gone up, not down, as operating systems become more complicated, and software bloat pretty much reverses moore's law.
I know this is a rather tired and often-rehashed theme, but could it be true?
Worked on my MTAC project today. MTAC is a calculator in Java, with support for simple symbolic manipulation, symbolic differentiation, and a nice plot feature (enter an expression with exactly one unknown variable, and it will automatically plot it). Also fixed a bunch of folding bugs in jEdit.
My telephone service has been really dodgy lately. It works in the morning and at night, but during the day, it gets disconnected. The teleco have been claiming they'll fix it "tomorrow" for several days now. I suspect what is happening is their lines are overloaded, so they implemented a rolling connect/disconnect scheme, a la rolling blackouts in california. Lame.
I think GNOME is trying to be too much; especially with Red Carpet and Nautilus. Not only do these two projects duplicate certain functionality (Red Carpet's 'channels' and Nautilus 'software catalog' service), they also do things which should be done in something system-wide like Linuxconf, not a _user-oriented_ desktop environment.
And KDE continues to annoy me, with its inconsistencies, poorly organized menus, and overly complicated UIs. I guess I'll stick to blackbox for now.

What is Conservation Glass?
Standard glass is suitable for most artwork in most homes. As ambient (indirect) sunlight and artificial light do not present a fading risk, most people do not require special UV filtering glass.
If you have a lot of direct sunlight in your home, you may want to upgrade your artwork purchase to conservation glass. Conservation glass filters out 97% of harmful UV rays and will prevent fading of signatures and artwork, as well as yellowing of paper.
The best thing to do is avoid hanging any art or photographs in direct sunlight. If you can't avoid direct sunlight, conservation glass is well worth the additional cost.

As Call of Duty: Black Ops Escalation hits PlayStation Store, here's who to look out for in this star-studded game.
The legendary horror director
The director almost single-handedly responsible for the zombie movie genre pops up in Call of Duty: Black Ops Escalation. Playing himself in Call of the Dead mode, George A. Romero is at the helm of a film shoot on a boat when a genuine zombie outbreak threatens to engulf him and his crew.
Romero fights off wave after wave of frostbitten, undead crazies before a shocking twist occurs on the boat, one that'll have you diving behind the sofa...
The action star
He's experienced life as a blue alien in Avatar, battled artificial intelligence in Terminator Salvation and hacked his way through giant scorpions in Clash of the Titans. Now, Sam Worthington faces something even more perilous: the threat of nuclear war as lead character Alex Mason in Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Listen out for Worthington's harassed tones as he endures interrogation, double-crossing and brainwashing, the effects of which leave a lasting impression in history.
The award winner
CIA agent Jason Hudson, one of the main playable characters in Call of Duty: Black Ops, is a man with a murky past. Ed Harris, the award-winning actor, has spent much of his career playing men who walk moral tightropes. It's no surprise that Harris' voice meshes perfectly with the role of Hudson.
Play as Hudson, the Vietnam veteran now working in the shadows, and you'll get a totally different view of the game, one of conspiracy and sacrifice for the greater good.
The vampire slayer
Buffy undergoes a career change, as the vampire slayer becomes a zombie killer. In Call of the Dead mode, you get to play as Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar aboard George A. Romero's ship of the forsaken.
Specialising in handguns and attitude, Gellar makes a long overdue return to screens thanks to Call of Duty: Black Ops Escalation.
The Hollywood hard man
One of the most gnarled faces in Hollywood is becoming more recognised thanks to his starring role in the movie Machete. In Call of the Dead mode, play as Danny Trejo doing what he does best: blasting through zombies with a determined grimace and a red-hot trigger finger.
Use a special gun that restores life to the undead, and listen out for his trademark, no-nonsense one-liners. Attention zombies: "You just messed with the wrong Mexican!"
The nightmare killer
The face might not be quite so familiar without the terrifying make-up, yet Robert Englund is one of the true horror greats – although he's more used to invading nightmares as Freddie Krueger than fighting off zombies.
Make those rotting invaders feel like they're trapped in their own Nightmare on Elm Street by picking up a sniper rifle that fires rockets. One, two, Freddie's coming for you...
The rapper and actor
Hip hop artist and actor Ice Cube plays Joseph Bowman, Mason's right-hand man in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Ice Cube starred alongside George Clooney in the 1999 movie Three Kings as a quiet yet fearless soldier who could be relied upon in tight situations.
True to form, Bowman is also a brooding presence who rarely wastes words when bullets will speak for him.
The born survivor
If anyone is accustomed to the grisly situation in Call of the Dead mode, it's Michael Rooker, better known as Merle Dixon in the US TV series The Walking Dead. Rooker spends the series somehow managing to outrun and outgun the zombie apocalypse, standing him in good stead for the events on Romero's boat.
Rooker is like a bear with a sore head – and destroying these shuffling corpses proves just the tonic.
The rogue commissioner
Batman's staunchest ally, Commissioner Gordon, shows up in the campaign mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops. This time, however, the shield of justice is gone as actor Gary Oldman plays a demented British scientist responsible for a deadly nerve agent.
Keep an eye out for a familiar face from Call of Duty: World at War, too. Oldman also revisits his role in that game when Mason befriends a grizzled old Red Army soldier.
The iconic president
As well being a playable character in the Nazi Zombies multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops, John F. Kennedy is a constant presence in the campaign mode. He authorises missions and archive footage of him sets the tone. At one point you even meet him, as Mason is personally briefed by the 35th US president.
Call of Duty: Black Ops even goes so far as offering its own theory of the shooting of JFK in a haunting finale.
Familiarise yourself with the shadowy world of 1960s conflict in Call of Duty: Black Ops, then get set for zombie-splattering action by downloading Call of Duty: Black Ops Escalation to your PlayStation 3 from PlayStation Store.

Adobe's PDF Software sucks. Their Business Model sucks. And their so-called Portable Document Format is a fraud in that it is not portable at all except when using their horrible software.
But I have to deal with Adobe. Everybody uses PDF documents.
Perhaps there are some other ways around what I am going to be complaining about here but I am complaining because I have not been able to find a solution other than buying Adobe SDK for thousands of dollars and writing my own C++ application. And I have spent months looking at what is available for download; I have investigated everything.
What Was Wanted
I had several pages of PAPER FORMS that our company's clients fill out. They were created in Microsoft Words years ago -- text with underlines and little square boxes.
We want interactive online fillable PDFs of these forms.
Adobe Acrobat is -- IMHO -- absolutely the stupidest way of creating PDF forms. In fact, using a GUI at all to create PDF forms is stupid.
Here's why:
Say I want a typical name and address form. This is what you do with a GUI to create the name field using Adobe Acrobat:
- Select the Text Field tool icon.
- Click in the approximate location and drag to the approximate size.
- A "Properties Dialog Box" pops up.
- Enter the field name and other attributes.
- Close the dialog box.
We now have now a the Name field. Repeat these steps for all fields (and buttons and checkboxes etc.). With six or seven fields no big deal. But I left something out.
You can not, in Adobe Acrobat, place simple text. I.e. we want a form like:
Name: ____________________ Address: _________________
Since you can not place the "Name:" text with Acrobat you must use a word processor -- a compatible word processor -- to PRE-create the form with general text that goes around all the form fields. THEN you create a basic PDF and edit THAT to ADD the form fields. Again, no big deal. Or is it?
What if you have ten forms? With twenty, thirty fields per page?
What if you have hundreds? THOUSANDS?
That is a lot of people manually editing PDF files.
And guess what? All those fields you used the latest pretty GUI to click and drag? You have to manually place and size each and every one of them! Sure, there are tricks like copy and paste, nudge, align horizontally, etc. But still it is all such... drudgery! Computers are supposed to free us from work. Instead computers (software) degrade us by simply replacing pencil and paper with mouse and screen.
There Must Be A Better Way
There is a better way. Adobe's Form Designer software is a step in a better direction but it too is still the GUI paradigm -- clicking and dragging pixels on a screen. Form Designer's GUI helps with some of the drudgery only with "advanced property dialog boxes" which is hardly a solution.
But, one thing Form Designer does is to save the document data not in a proprietary format but in XML!
Where a PDF is 500K the same in XDP is 50K. Not only that, I can use any text editor to modify the XML. I can use any scripting language to process the XML. XML is that cool. What Perl did to programming XML is doing (has done?) to documents.
More on why XML is so nice later, but now I need to make a side step...
But I still need PDFs for our company's clients. So, still learning Adobe Form Designer I "saved as" a PDF. And it turns out that -- right back to the sucky Adobe Business Model -- form fields in Adobe Form Designer created PDFs can not be edited in Adobe Acrobat!
Why is this a big deal?
Form Designer does a really stupid thing with it's form identifiers. I name it "name" and it names it -- when converted to a PDF -- "F[0].P1[0].name[0]".
Why is that a big deal?
Well, for me, our office needs a way to get an online filled-in PDF from our website to out office. Since our webserver is LAMP server, I had designed a rather simple and easy to use PHP script to gather the submitted PDF forms -- as an FDF file -- and then to e-mail the FDF file to the office where I can save the file in the clients "folder". Now all submitted forms are stored as an FDF which when opened by an office minion using Windows will see the form exactly as the client filled it out online. She can then print it, input it into the database, respond to it, etc.
But Form Designer's form-sub-form "F[0].P1[0]" garbage breaks my PHP form handling system. And to accommodate it I not only have to re-design it all I will have to delve into the inner -- and undocumented -- working of Form Designer's new format. I already went through that process learning PDF and FDF. Now I have to start from scratch again!
Also, since the later versions of Adobe software are so damn expensive, we do not want to convert all our staff to the new versions -- the old versions are just fine for other documents. And, of course, newer PDFs are not editable by older Adobe software.
What I Did
That Form Designer used XML was a boon because I was fairly quickly able to figure out what they were doing. So I came up with my own file format to describe and layout my forms (by converting the Microsoft Word document to text and some more text editing) -- this is all a very old way of doing things.
I then wrote a Perl script to read my form file, providing some basic input parameters like page size and margins, line height, etc., which converted it to Form Designer's XML. And I did a pretty good job for a quick hack. I had to use Form Designer to tweak the pages a bit, but I bypassed 99% of the click 'n drag drudgery!
I then created the PDFs and I used the command-line program called PDFTK to convert the PDFs into an earlier version of PDF which were much more Perl friendly (less binary data and more line-feeds).
I then created another Perl script to rename the field identifiers back to normal names (also converting them from UNICODE).
I now have PDFs that remain compatible with all Adobe versions, my PHP form handling software, and I can create PDFs from easily editable text templates.
With my Perl scripts processing my data and templates I bypass those terrible Adobe GUIs! I save so much time!
I think that the best thing that could happen to the "Office Paradigm" is the death of the GUI.
Yeah sure, you want to do some things with the mouse, but to click 'n drag hundreds of tiny little boxes all around the screen for hours on end to create a simple form is absurd when all one needs to do is to enter a few columns of data and then have the computer do the rest!
Use the GUI to design the template, the images, the "look and feel". But start with a text file or a spreadsheet and then process the data and merge that data with a template and THEN create the resulting PDF or what have you.
Keeping all your text and images only in the end result is such a waste.
I will be a good day when all I have is text and images and rules and templates to create my PDFs, my brochures, my advertising, my letters and my websites.
All I need is a Perl script and I can change the world.

Deborah's mother is being crabby, not because Mother's new baby is almost due to be born. It's because Father and Mother keep the inn at Bethlehem, and this week they have more guests than they ever thought possible. They're all coming to be counted in the Census, and somehow they all have to be given food and water and a clean place to sleep.
With so much work to do, everybody has to help. There isn't time to play or talk or think. The way Mother's acting, there must not be time to be nice. And for sure there's no time for Deborah to see her friend Andrew, the shepherd's boy that she has decided to marry when they both grow up.
Now a couple from Galilee are at the gate, hoping, somehow, to get a room at the inn. There's not a speck of space. But the young woman is about to have a baby, just like Mother. Father can't turn them away, not when Deborah knows there is a place where they could stay....

Woman: Sheriff said OK for her to arm herself
Milwaukee County sheriff runs radio ad about owning guns
MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee woman accused of firing a gun says the sheriff said it was OK for her to arm herself.
Police approached 36-year-old Makisha Cooper Saturday about firing a gun. According to the complaint, Cooper told police she heard Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. on the radio "that she could own a gun to protect herself."
Clarke aired a radio ad last week telling Milwaukee-area residents not to count on a rapid police response to 911 calls and instead to take a gun safety course.
Cooper later told police she fired a gun once outside a house after getting into a fight with her niece, according to the complaint.
In a statement, the sheriff said "there is no parallel" between this case and what he said.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Cooper is charged with two misdemeanor counts.

In Stock
Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Production: 1175 Cases
Alcohol: 13.85%
Barrels: 100% French Oak (45% new)
Decanting: 30 Minutes
Cellaring: Enjoy now (through 2015)
The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon is superb… It is full-bodied, with exquisite density and terrific fruit purity and intensity, particularly in the mid-palate and length (always good signs for wines that are meant to improve and last). There is plenty of tannin, but this is a generous, impressively endowed wine that should stand the test of several decades of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2003–2025." Rating: 92+, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, #126
Seavey Vineyard's seventh estate produced Cabernet, the 1996, was made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that came from vines planted on several different locations of the South-facing hillside vineyard. Eleven lots were harvested in late September and early October, each at optimal ripeness of tannins and sugar as well as flavors. Winemaking style followed classic Bordeaux methods, the juice remaining in contact with the skins varying from 13 days to 30 days and then put in French oak barrels (45% new oak) for malolactic fermentation and aging for a period of 19 months. The wine was bottled on May 11, 1998. The 1996 Cabernet has a saturated ruby color and exhibits a forward aroma of ripe dark plums with hints of sweet vanilla and white chocolate. Full-bodied with a chewy texture, layers of currant-like fruit and well-integrated tannins, this flavorful and lush Cabernet Sauvignon can be enjoyed now or aged for numerous years.

China's stocks are among the cheapest in the world. That doesn't mean investors should be buying them, says JPMorgan.
On the surface, China's stocks look like a bargain. The recent drop in the MSCI China Index–it's plunged 7.1% since it peaked on Jan. 29–has left the index with a price-earnings ratio of 9.4 based on analyst forecasts for the next 12 months of profits. That's well below the MSCI USA Index's P/E of 14.1 and the MSCI Asia Pacific ex-Japan index's 11.9 P/E.
But just because they're cheap, doesn't mean they're heading higher. In a report released yesterday, JPMorgan's analysts write:
Mixed macro data and policy risks (banks and property) have eroded over a third of the Nov'12-Feb'13 rally in major China indices. In the absence of specific reform measures, near-term weaker-than-expected consumption and industrial production trends and overhang of policy risks, index performance is likely to drift downwards, both in absolute and relative terms, despite cheap headline valuations.
And even the fact that analysts are seeing better profits for may companies isn't expected to help at the index level. The reason: The revisions haven't been as good for the sectors that make up the largest part of the index–banks, energy and telecoms. That means investors will have to focus on "earnings and bottom-up opportunities…in the near-term." JPMorgan's preferred sectors include consumer electronic, healthcare and companies that help tackle China's pollution problem.
Investors should avoid Chalco (2600.HongKong) and PetroChina (PTR), JPMorgan says, while they're "highest conviction recommendations" include Baidu (BIDU), Sinopec (SHI) and Air China (0753.Hong Kong).
The iShares MSCI China Index (EMCI) ETF has dropped 1.15% today to $45.75, while PetroChina's ADR has dropped 1.7% to 135.75. Baidu has dropped 1.6% to $84.95 and Sinopec has gained 1.45% to $42.62.

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Dumbell weights
Just my 2 cents, but I wouldn't worry too much about the appearance of the dumbell weights. I would go ahead and tie it clouser style. I usually bend the last 1/2 inch or the hook shank near the eye down (in the direction of the hook point, so it rides up while fishing) to help prevent it from hanging up. I am more of a believer in fly action and general imitation than exact imitation for warmwater fishing. The jigging action on the mud bottom may kick up some mud which might be an attraction. At any rate, any time you want to fish deep, the clouser style works well because you can effeciently cover the bottom with less hanging up. If the fish don't respond, I would try different materials again tied clouser style to see what kind of action they desire i.e.- try hackle tails like a deceiver or rabbit strip tails or to push more water an unweighted deer hair imitation with split shot on the leader. The main point of all of this being that imho the fish are going to desire a certain action with a general appearance of the bait fish and the action they desire and the size of the flies they desire may change throghout the season.
You might also try bead chain. If the drift is as slow as it sounds,bumbell eyes would probably be too heavy anyway. Another thought would be to try A keel hook. the weight goes in exactly the right spot and is easily adjusted up or down by using those lead strips that come in the matchbook format. A possible downside to the keel hook is the ones I have seen anyway seem to be A light wire. But surely worth some reaserch.
Your pattern by the way is awsume. I tied A couple of them today On A 2/0 Partridge 10xl h/w streamer hook. We are talking serious iron here. we have some 50 in. Tiger Musky here. This will be my first year to fish these guys.
ps; If A man is talking in the woods and his wife does not here him, is he still WRONG?
Here's what I came up with. Sinks slowly and seems to ride properly in the water. Can't wait to test it!
3/0 bass bug hook, point up. White thread. Small bunch of hot orange Fluorofibre for "tail" (pectoral fins). The body is two strips of lead, one slightly shorter than the other, lashed to the bottom of the shank, then wrapped again with thread and coated with pearl fabric paint. I left about 3/4" between the body and the eye of the hook. I just felt like trying out the fabric paint. I'm not sure if I like it for this use. One drawback was having to wait for it to dry before I could tie the wing. If also doesn't seem durable enough for toothy fish. The next "prototype" has pearl ribbon for the body.
The wing is "hi tie" style with white Super Hair with a few strands of pearl Krystal Flash, then yellow SH, then olive SH with a few strands peacock Krystal Flash, then a few strands of black SH. I used markers to color the top of the head to match the wing and to make the black bars on the wings. I applied one thin coat of epoxy back just far enough to cover the location for the eyes. After it hardened I applied stick-on eyes and a second coat of epoxy just to cover eyes.
|For a recent swap I tied a mylar braid body, grizzly hackle wing streamer on either size 8 or 12 hook. Resembled small perch I've seen pickerel smash at. I'd imagine a weightless flatwing on intermediate or slow sink line would present effectively. I'm sure we can come up with ideas on how to weight them...
|Dble Haul
|That's a very interesting fly. I've seen something analogous to this in a trolling fly for landlocked salmon, but never anything for warm water species like pickeral. I suppose that we're only limited by our own imaginations.
Someone had previously posted a link to Fly Anglers Online. I was checking it out and found this:
Interesting technique. Anybody ever try something like this?
4/2/02 -- The link is no good anymore. They changed the feature.
|Another thought, without reading the previous posts is weight a streamer hook with wire wrap, keel, or weighted (cone) head.
Thanks guys -- great suggestions. They all sound better than trying to use the dumbell weights, as that method does seem to impart more of a jigging action than I am looking for. I'll tie up a few and let you know how they work out.
Try Moose Body Hair
Hi Quentin,
I have a similar pattern that I use for Walleys, in lakes primarily but also has worked in rivers.
I build the fly in a similar fashion as you describe, using bucktail. I tie in 7 or 8 moose body hair(s), tied in as a weed guard. This stuff is very stiff and I extend it almost 1 inch beyond the hook point/bend. The buoyancy of the moose hair seems to cause the fly to stay "hook up" instead of inverted. I don't use a clouser style weight, I use several wraps of heavy gauge copper wire to overwrap 2/3 of the hook and because it is somewhat soft, I can use pliers to flatten it and shape the body of the fly using muskrat underbody fur as a dubbing to cover the hook, that stuff just sucks in water and helps with the sink rate.
another idea
Quentin, I have a fly which behaves just like you are describing.
It wasn't deliberate on my part, just turned out that way. It sinks slowly, nose down.
Its basically a Hi-Tie pattern made with bozo hair with stick on eyes. The sink effect comes from the two globs of epoxy I applied to keep the eyes in place. You could experiment with different amounts of epoxy and its location on or below the hookshank. And of course you can use pantone pens to get some very realistic perch coloring.
Good luck!
Judging by the description of where you're fishing, I'm not surprised that they are hugging the bottom. Perch will use the entire water column provided there is virtually no current and there is weed cover. Add current and no cover - they'll be on the bottom.
Given your description of the river, I'd still go with a neutral buoyancy deceiver style but I'd rig up with a heavy, sinking leader on a floating line plus I'd run a single BB splitshot 6" above the fly. This will hold the fly head down, just above the bottom. the neutral buoyancy fly will hold its position in the current, gently moving from side to side. A quick stip and it'll dart up and forward, then settle down again. It'll move far more naturally than a clouser. The rapid jerks will interest the pike and bass by pushing lots of water. While it settles, mends can be made up and downstream to change direction. When the fly doesn't sink, it gives you the luxury of time.
Thanks for the response Peter. Nice web site too! It looks like you've spent a lot of time observing the behavior of baitfish and the feeding patterns of predatory fish. Here's a little more info so you (and others) can apply your knowledge to my situation.
I plan to fish this fly in a small river (20' to 40' wide) with slow flowing, somewhat murky water. It has a mud bottom with some grass and lots of tree limbs. There is plenty of overhanging brush along the shore, and the deep sides of the river bends have steep, almost vertical mud banks. Virtually every type of fish that swims in Berkshire County can be caught in this section of river, but my primary targets are largemouth bass and pike. And it's absolutely loaded with yellow perch. I have observed the perch while they are grubbing for food on the bottom. They move slowly along with their noses on the bottom and bodies tilted up at an angle. When you spook them they slide out sideways into deeper water, staying right along the bottom. This is the behavior I am trying to imitate with the fly. My thought was to drag the fly slowly along the bottom and occasionally let it swing laterally in the current. It's more of creeping/sliding action than a jigging action. I want the fly to stay on or near the bottom even if I swing it into deeper water, hence the need for a weighted fly. The fly is not intended to imitate a crippled or disoriented bait fish because there are no rough currents that would cause such a thing to happen. It is supposed to be a feeding baitfish that carelessly moves into the predators' ambush zones.
I'll do some more experimenting and see what I can come up with. All further comments and suggestions are welcome.
|Well, let's start off with where perch hang out. They tend to be bottom to mid water column feeders so a bottom hugging, jigging imitation is not the best. I'd go with a deceiver style pattern with a neutral buoyancy. Secondly, be aware of the buoyancy of different kinds of hair. Yak hair, for example, is much denser than bucktail so if you tie bucktail on the bottom and yak on the on the top, the fly will flip over. You're best to run tank tests on streamers after you've tied them to make sure they float and act the way you intend.
Help! My perch swims upside down!
Hi guys,
I tied a Clouser-style fly in a yellow perch pattern (using Super Hair) that looks pretty good but swims upside down! I tied it with extra material below the eye so that the eye would be closer to the top of the head, rather than down on the bottom of the fly, and the bouyancy from the extra material below the eye causes the fly to sink/swim upside down.
I'm trying to tie a perch pattern that will sit on the bottom with the nose angled down so that I can slowly drag/hop/swim it along the bottom. This is why I thought the Clouser style fly would work well -- nose down and hook point turned up to help avoid snags. But . . . perch eyes are not on the bottoms of their heads. In fact, their eyes are almost on the tops of their heads. So how can I accomplish this? Here are the options I can think of at the moment:
1) tie it as a normal Clouser and hope the fish don't notice that the eyes are in the wrong position.
2) tie a modified Clouser like I did with the upside down fly, but using a less bouyant material below the eye that will not cause the fly to swim upside down. (if so, what material would you recommend and how should I tie it?)
3) tie a normal Clouser but hide or disguise the weight and add stick-on eyes where I want them to be.
4) use a different method such as a keel hook (which would not really sit nose down) or a cone head (probably wouldn't ride with hook point up).
I wouldn't worry about it so much except that the eyes (actually the "eyebrows") are quite prominent on the perch in the river where I fish. Even when you can't really see the fish you can still see the "goggle eyes" on the tops of their heads.
Any suggestions/recommendations?

Just used mine to iron a couple of ribbons for a display. The rule around here is if it has been in the ironing basket for 3 years I don't need it so out it goes.
Married 34 years and never had an iron until yesterday. Husband bought one to apply veneer to a speaker cabinet he is making. He tried to get me to do it 10 years or so back, but only his stuff needed ironing. He learned pretty good.

More important, architects haven't taken on the job of making conceptual ideas clearly compatible with living needs.

Vandals Let One Slip
Moscow, Idaho - The Idaho men's basketball team did nearly everything right against Montana on Saturday afternoon, but a poor performance at the free throw line cost Idaho the victory, falling 72-71 to the Grizzlies.
Idaho (6-8) shot 48 percent (25-of-52) from the field, held Montana (5-4) to a 43.5 percent clip, and dominated the paint with a 42-24 rebounding advantage, a 38-24 advantage in points in the paint, and a 15-3 advantage in second-chance points. But Montana went 18-for-18 at the free throw line in the second half while Idaho missed 10 second-half free throws, going 13-for-23 at the stripe.
"To me it's that simple, we missed 15 free throws and lost by one," Idaho coach Don Verlin said after the game. "You can look at all the difference scenarios in that game and all the things that went on, but the bottom line is we go to the line 23 times in the second half – they go 18-for-18 and we go 13-for-23. You've got to make your free throws. The game is on the line and they go to foul you and we don't make them."
The Vandals led by as many as 15 points just before halftime and took a 12-point, 35-23, lead into the break. That advantage hovered between seven and 12 points for the first 10 minutes of the second half, but the Grizzlies made a 14-3 run to cut Idaho's lead to just one at 59-58 with 4:21 to play. Idaho pulled back ahead by as many as six points with 1:22 to play, but the Vandals missed three free throws in the final 82 seconds, allowing Montana to hang around.
With four seconds to play, the Vandals led by one point at 71-70, but a costly turnover on an attempted inbounds play followed by a foul gave Montana's Kareem Jamar two free throws and chance at Montana's first lead of the game. Jamar sunk both shots and a deep 3-pointer from Idaho's Mike Scott at the buzzer didn't fall, giving the Griz the 72-71 win.
"The thing to focus in on is not what happened on the last play of the game or some of the specific plays, because at that point we gave Montana a chance to get back in," Verlin said. "We basically gave them a Christmas present. You have to finish games and you have to make your layups and you have to make your free throws. Instead of begging for a foul or wanting someone to give you a game, you have to go and win it, and we didn't do that."
Idaho senior Stephen Madison poured in a career-high 35 points and added 10 rebounds for his third double-double of the season. Madison hit 11-of-18 shots and went to the free throw line 18 times, converting 12 of those. Junior Bira Seck notched his second double-double with a 10-point, 10-rebound performance. Senior Glen Dean added 12 points and four rebounds for Idaho.
For the game, Idaho went just 18-of-33 (54.5 percent) from the free throw line, and also struggled from 3-point range, hitting just 3-of-14 (21.4 percent) long balls. Idaho's 17 turnovers also proved costly, as Montana took advantage to outscore the Vandals 19-4 off turnovers.
The Vandals return to action on Jan. 2 when Western Athletic Conference play begins against Kansas City in the Cowan Spectrum at 7 p.m. Idaho will stay at home to host Chicago State on Jan. 4.

Jimmy Baker was born over ninety years ago, along the Kalaya Tjukurrpa (Emu Dreaming) track in the Western Desert at a rockhole called Malumpa, a location close to the present-day community of Kanpi in north-west South Australia. He is one of the most senior and highly respected men in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands.
His father, Tjuwintjara, was also an important cultural figure renowned for his survival skills and profound knowledge. Tjuwintjara acted as a guide for T. G. H Strehlow and Charles Duguid on their expedition to the Petermann Ranges in the far south-western corner of the Northern Territory, after encountering them at Piltati Rockhole in 1939, as Duguid described in his autobiography, Doctor and the Aborigines (published in 1972).
Jimmy Baker married Nyinmungka during the late 1930s and they had three daughters and a son. He has a younger brother, Toby Ginger Baker, as well as a sister, Tjuwilya, and his nephew Douglas married Maringka, who is also an artist.
Baker worked as a shearer on the mission at Ernabella in the Musgrave Ranges, also repairing fences, sinking bores and mustering livestock. Bob Capp, a teacher in the Lands in the 1960s, remembers him as a great storyteller who 'would have people in peals of laughter as he embellished stories'. He was subsequently instrumental in encouraging key family members to return to their home country at Kanpi.
From an early age Baker was aware that he had special powers. As a highly respected ngangkari (healer), he has travelled extensively throughout South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, applying his traditional knowledge and skills. He is also an exceptional craftsman who is able to create traditional implements of the highest standard. Baker began painting in 2004 and has since produced a relatively small body of work. He is one of a handful of artists attached to Tjungu Palya, a community-based art centre at Nyapari.
Baker is a strong law man who is custodian of many stories befitting his seniority, including Kipara(Bush Turkey), Kalaya(Emu), Piltati (Sacred Rockhole Site) and Wanampi Kutjara (Two Serpent Men's Creation Story). His intimate cultural knowledge is inextricably linked to his ngangkari status. His work depicts the cultural landscape, his Tjukurrpa, with authority and integrity, acting as a bridge toward mutual respect and understanding. Like other senior men he paints stories in a way that clearly defines significant sites or paths etched in the landscape by ancestral beings. These sites are multi-layered, with physical, geographical, spiritual and ceremonial connotations.
Jimmy Baker's work encapsulates the essence of culture, country and Indigenous pride. He has a rare artistic gift and is one of the most important artists from the central and Western Desert region. His paintings are now represented in major public and private collections in Australia.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments examine histone modifications and genomic DNA sequences bound to specific regulatory proteins. In ChIP, protein-DNA complexes are crosslinked in vivo, immunoprecipitated, purified, and amplified for gene- and promoter-specific analysis of known targets or for the identification of new target sequences. In a related microarray-based method, ChIP-on-Chip, the immunoprecipitated DNA is labeled and hybridized to high-resolution microarrays.

Have you ever been sent on an errand? Casey is off to the grocery store. Take a look.
On the way home from soccer practice, Casey's mom sends her into the grocery store to get a half gallon of milk. Casey is hungry after practice, so she isn't paying attention to what kind her Mom has asked her to get. In Casey's house they drink both whole milk and skim milk. Casey runs to the dairy section of the grocery store and stops short. She isn't sure what to get. There are five different kinds of milk. There is whole milk, reduced fat milk, lowfat milk, skim milk and organic milk. There are also different brands to choose from: Hood, Eagle Brand, and Garelic for non-organic milk, and Organic Valley and Nature's Valley for organic brands. Casey notices that there are three non-organic brands to the two organic brands. Then she notices that the supermarket has its own brand of non-organic milk as well. That makes four non-organic brands to two organic brands. Casey is sure that this means something. She has been reading about organic food in school and is interested in organic milk and food. Casey wishes that there were more organic brands than non organic brands. She decides to make a note of this to show her teacher at school.
If Casey wants to document this information as a ratio, how could she do it?
This Concept will teach you all you need to know about equivalent ratios.
This Concept focuses on ratios. Ratios are everywhere in everyday life. In fact, we work with ratios so much that we probably don't even realize that we are working with them. In this Concept, you will learn how to write ratios, simplify ratios and compare ratios, but there is a question that we must answer first.
What is a ratio?
A ratio is a comparison of two quantities. The quantities can be nearly anything; people, cars, dollars... even two groups of things!
Let's look at a picture.
We can write ratios that compare the boys in this picture, but how?
How do we write a ratio?
A ratio is written in three different ways. It can be written as a fraction, with the word "to" or with a colon.
Let's take a look at this in action by writing ratios that compare the boys in the picture.
What is the ratio of boys with striped shirts to boys with solid shirts? There are two boys with striped shirts and two boys with solid shirts. Let's write the ratio in three ways.
Each of these ratios is correct. Notice that we are comparing an individual quality here.
What about comparing a category to the group?
What is the ratio of boys that are holding binders to all of the boys?
There are two boys holding binders and four boys in the group. Let's write the ratio three different ways. Notice that the first thing being compared comes first when writing the ratio. Or the first thing becomes the numerator in the fraction form of the ratio.
Each of these ratios is equivalent, meaning that they are all equal. Each ratio, though written in a different form, is an equivalent ratio.
We can write many different ratios by comparing these figures. Let's list some and use the word "to" to write our ratio form.
Stars to circles = 3 to 2
Red stars to total stars = 2 to 3
Red stars to blue stars = 2 to 1
Blue stars to red stars = 1 to 2
Blue stars to total stars = 1 to 3
We could continue making this list.
We can also write the same ratios using a colon or a fraction.
Practice on your own. Use the picture to write each ratio three different ways.
Example A
What is the ratio of orange marbles to green marbles?
Solution: 2 to 4
Example B
What is the ratio of yellow marbles to total marbles?
Solution: 2 to 22
Example C
What is the ratio of orange marbles to total marbles?
Solution: 2 to 22
Now we can help with the milk comparisons. These comparisons can be written as ratios.
If Casey wants to document this information as a ratio, how could she do it?
A ratio is a comparison. We can write a ratio to compare two quantities in three different ways. In this problem, Casey wants to compare organic and non-organic brands of milk.
She notices that there are four non-organic brands and two organic brands.
Casey can write this comparison three different ways.
This is our answer.
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
What is the ratio of total marbles to dark blue marbles?
First, count the total number of marbles. There are 22 marbles.
There are three dark blue marbles.
Our answer is 22 to 3.

AllThingsD's Arik Hesseldahl was live-blogging Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) annual shareholder meeting this afternoon, where all 11 directors of the company's board have been nominated for re-election, amidst some backlash from institutional holders who would like to see some replacements.
The proxy voting resulted in all eleven directors being re-appointed, Hesseldahl reports.
Earlier in the afternoon, after proposals were read off, CEO Meg Whitman told the assembled that in 18 months on the job, "I've come to love this company," Hesseldahl reports. Whitman said the company had taken its medicine last year, took action, and "met our guidance." She sees 2014 as a year of "recovery and expansion."
Update: In an email blast this evening, CtW Investment Group, which claims to represent multiple institutional HP investors, and which had called for changes in the board, declared a "revolt" had taken place despite the confirmation of the directors:
Today, at Hewlett Packard's annual shareholder meeting, shareholders sent a strong signal to HP that further board changes are necessary in the wake of continuing strategic failures and the board's refusal to hold itself accountable for disasters such as the Autonomy transaction. In a close election, shareholders singled out long-time incumbents John Hammergren (47.1 percent vote against), the chair of the Finance and Investment Committee and G. Kennedy Thompson (44.9 percent), the chair of the Audit Committee, with near-majority oppositional votes. Shareholders also cast high votes against the following directors: Raymond Lane (41.2 percent vote against ) and Marc Andreessen (31.2 percent).

For Immediate Release: Contact: Sharon Snyder August 18, 2000 Ron Harris Ian Stirton Kelly Huff
WASHINGTON The Federal Election Commission today unanimously approved payment of $67.56 million in federal funds for the general election campaign of Democratic Presidential nominee Al Gore and his Vice-Presidential running mate Senator Joseph Lieberman.
Following certification of the request for funds, the FEC immediately notified the U.S. Treasury Department, which will make the wire transfer to the Gore-Lieberman campaign.
The Gore-Lieberman campaign requested the funding in an August 17 letter, received at the FEC on August 18. In that letter the candidates agreed to abide by the overall spending limit (there are no state-by-state limits) and to other legal requirements, including a post-campaign audit. Under Commission regulations, the FEC has 10 days to act on a request from the time the campaign satisfies all legal conditions.
By law, the presidential nominees of both major parties are each entitled to $20 million, plus a cost-of-living adjustment (over 1974.) The following are the amounts given to major party nominees for each of the six previous federally funded presidential elections:
96 - $61.82 million 84 - $40.4 million
92 - $55.24 million 80 - $29.44 million
88 - $46.1 million 76 - $21.82 million
The grant has been requested and approved for every major party general election nominee since 1976, the first election to be publicly funded.
Presidential candidates accepting the federal grant are subject to a spending limit of $67.56 million, the amount of the subsidy, plus a combined personal spending limit of $50,000 from their personal funds. (All expenditures made by or on behalf of a vice-presidential candidate are considered to be made on behalf of the presidential candidate.) Additional funds may be raised, subject to the limits and prohibitions of the Federal Election Campaign Act, for legal and accounting expenses [referred to as GELAC accounts.]
The DNC has an additional coordinated spending limit of $13,680,292, which it may spend in conjunction with the Gore-Lieberman campaign. The monies must be raised from private sources, subject to the limits and prohibitions of the statute, and must be reported by the party.
