Experience Israel through its many faces: versatile populations and various ethnic groups await you as you tour the country from North to South
The day will be dedicated to the understanding of Jerusalem as the center for the three great monotheistic faiths; Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Start out with a visit to the Temple Mount, site of the offering of Isaac, the Jerusalem Temples, and the ninth-century Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque. See the Western Wall, sacred to the Jewish People as the last remnant of the Second Temple.
Visit the Southern Wall Excavations, as you walk on the original two thousand-year old street and climb the ancient steps. At the Davidson Center, in the basement of an eighth-century CE palace, enjoy the historical exhibits and make arrangements to see its virtual-reconstruction, high-definition interactive model.
Visit the Tower of David Museum, dedicated to the history of Jerusalem over the past 4,000 years and showcasing the city's various ethnic groups and their contributions. Climb to the tower situated in the museum for a beautiful view of the four quarters of the Old City - Armenian, Christian, Muslim and Jewish.
Proceed to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, site of the crucifixion and tomb of Jesus according to Christian tradition. You will notice the many Christian denominations represented in the church, distinguished by their dress and liturgy – Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, and Syrian Orthodox , each in their own corner of the ancient complex.
Wander the Old City markets, steeping yourself in its sights, sounds and aromas, and try your hand at hunting and bargaining for treasures.
In the evening, drive through the New City, to enjoy a view of its monuments beautifully illuminated: The Israel Museum and the Shrine of the Book (open Tuesdays until 9:00 P.M.), the Supreme Court building and the Knesset.

The number of people who become involved with partners who abuse them emotionally and/or who are emotionally abusive themselves is phenomenal, and yet emotional abuse is the least understood form of abuse. In this breakthrough book, Beverly Engel, one of the world's leading experts on the subject, shows us what emotional abuse is and what to do about it. Whether you suspect you are being emotionally abused, fear that you might be emotionally abusing your partner, or think that both you and your partner are emotionally abusing each other, this book is for you.
The Emotionally Abusive Relationship will tell you how to identify emotional abuse and how to find the roots of your behavior. Combining dramatic personal stories with action steps to heal, Engel provides prescriptive strategies that will allow you and your partner to work together to stop bringing out the worst in each other and stop the abuse. By teaching those who are being emotionally abused how to help themselves and those who are being emotionally abusive how to stop abusing, The Emotionally Abusive Relationship offers the expert guidance and support you need.
©2002 Beverly Engel (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
"Engel doesn't just describe - she shows us the way out." (Susan Forward, author of Emotional Blackmail)
"In this book, Beverly Engel clearly and with caring offers step-by-step strategies to stop emotional abuse. . . helping both victims and abusers to identify the patterns of this painful and traumatic type of abuse. This book is a guide both for individuals and for couples stuck in the tragic patterns of emotional abuse." (Marti Loring, Ph.D., author of Emotional Abuse and coeditor of The Journal of Emotional Abuse)
"This groundbreaking book succeeds in helping people stop emotional abuse by focusing on both the abuser and the abused and showing each party what emotional abuse is, how it affects the relationship, and how to stop it. Its unique focus on the dynamic relationship makes it more likely that each person will grasp the tools for change and really use them." (Randi Kreger, author of The Stop Walking on Eggshells Workbook and owner of BPDCentral.com)
"This was such a great book!"
I may refer to it. I'm not sure if I'd like to listen to it over again. It's somewhat difficult to hear and it's very emotionally draining to actively try to recognize and change your behaviors.
I'm not sure. The entire thing had very profound moments.
No. However, I absolutely loved her voice narrating this. She did a wonderful job.
I will apply this to my relationship.
I already knew that I had an abusive past. I am a Psychology major and I've been very introspective. I also knew that I was in a constant battle of emotional abuse in my current relationship. However, I knew I wasn't innocent, and I knew he wasn't either. We played off of each other. When one person was emotionally abusive, the other person would just emotionally abuse them later. We both came from parents that emotionally abused us. After reading this book, I realized that we were both reenacting our pasts in an attempt to solve them and end up with a better outcome. I have some similarities with his mother and he has some similarities with my father. However, he doesn't see it this way.
That's why I needed to find this book, so I could attempt to discover ways to change my patterns, and hopefully, in turn, change his as well. It's only been a couple days, but I already notice a difference in how I perceive my feelings and how he reacts to my words. I express myself by saying how I actually FEEL instead of blaming and threatening to leave. When he insults or degrades me, I point it out assertively but not painstakingly and he admits to it, and stops. I have a lot of hope that our relationship will benefit from this. I know we can get past our communication challenges. It was an amazing book.
"Must read if you & your partner fight"
May have saved my life. I was in despair in my relationship, thanks to this book I came to recognize what was actually going on and my part in it and what I could do to change it. Still don't know if this relationship will work, however it has improved significantly and, I personally, have made significant progress.
Easy Listening
Must read for anyone in a conflicted relationship. You can be in an abusive relationship and not realize it, your and/or your partner may operate with a very hurtful attitude, which results in emotional abuse. Her wisdom can be relationship saving and even life saving!
"long but good"
This book has so much information in it. I never realized the things I was doing could be so damaging to my spouse. I wish I could have read this 13 years ago.
Suzanna Mathison
"Most Helpful"
it has given me a new hope to wrap my brain around all that is and has gone on and enough gracious insight ( without candy coating) to help me to connect my heart understanding to my intellectual assent... covers so many facets yet not just cursory, but with depth of insight ... and succinct enough to " get it" AND what yo begin to do about it ... thank you for the work!
btw: I see allot of ppl saying there's is a paid endorsement - mine is a heart felt, unsolicited and no comp post.
"Feeling thankful"
Found this book to be very informative, having been emotionally abused as a child as well as multiple abusive relationships in adulthood to different degrees. Thank you so much!!
"thank you"
Was very eye opening and educational. I learned a lot about myself, my past mistakes and my healing process.
"Not the best choice for female victims."
The author recognizes that some of the victims are male and therefore continues changing her use of he and she in her narrative. I can understand this reasoning, but I found this confusing and felt like I was being blamed by the author all over again. Her style of writing kept throwing me back into the victim role and I often felt like I was being attacked once again.
The he/she narrative is specially problematic in the audio form, because you hear this. In writing you could correct the forms by hand and make the mental step of checking out of the victim role the author puts you in with her jumping back and forth in roles of abuser and victim.
The author tries her best, but other authors point out 90% of the victims are female and the abuser is most likely to be male. Even though the author acknowledges this she often choose to make the abuser female and the victim male in her dialogue. This is very confusing to have the female being blamed for the problems.
This book perhaps speaks best to therapists who can view the information from a neutral point of view. The author would be better off writing one book for males to read and another for females to read, because she does have valid information to share, but other authors do it better.
The author Patricia Evans deals with this subject matter much better. Her books are much more helpful for self-help.
"Extremelly helpful..."
This book is beyond outstanding and crucial to learn , recognize and understand emotional abusive relationship which has been what I've been surrounded in my childhood and off course what as a adolescent and adult I've been choosing and also is preventing me to be in a love relationship with a partner . It is a blessing to me even though many times I feel sad and even depressed to perfectly identify myself in this book . I definitely and highly can recommended to my siblings, close friends and my mother but what I've been doing is giving to them the super helpful tips I've learn to recognize when we are being abusive or we are abusing in a any kind of relationship . I can not thank enough to my therapist for suggesting this amazing book and off course to Audible , Deanne Hurst and Beverly Engel for making possible to digest this master piece . A perfect trilogy . My infinite thanks to make this possible .... Namasté Giuseppe Di Caro
"very powerful book.. worth your time .."
I have read many relationship books .. this among the clearest and best I have ever read.
"An absolutely fantastic and enlightening read."
I wish i knew this years ago!
Identifying when i have abused, been abused and my family around me, their exposure to abuse.
Empathy when needed , but a call to action too
To watch what i am saying to my partner and family and be aware of what they are saying to me!
Beverley seems to believe it comes from childhood. I cannot remember being abused when i was a child but i certainly remember my first marriage, so i dont know why i was attracted to him and why i let him do it? But also, i divorced him 25 years later and feel i have not resolved it with him as we have not discussed it, so i might have to write it down but imwould love to talk to him about it. There was nothing mentioned to help you overcome a past emotional abusive partner it seemed to be all in the now.
"Very good and useful stuff"
I find this work extremely useful. A lot of insights about "abusive relationships". There are few things I see differently, but as we say in the 12-Step Fellowship: "... take what you find useful and leave the rest...".
Many things. I will just mention this one: "the author provides an excellent analysis of the mechanisms controlling both the abuser and the abused person, and practical suggestions on how to deal with and behave in concrete situations".
Great thanks to the author for her extensive work.
"An excellent book"
When my heart was broken to million pieces , I started looking for the reasons why all my relationships had the same painful ending. In this journey I found I have been abused emotionally. I searched for a book to help me understand the problem and reasons behind it and fortunately I found this book. I loved the way that author explain the problem, not divide you and your partner to monsters and victims. When I was listening to the book, I cried a lot. It was difficult to see what happened to me. But at the end I am happy that I know my problem better. I highly recommend the book.

Auditions are required for all music majors at RIC.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are auditions needed?
Auditions are required for entrance into all music programs at RIC because we care about your success. Our programs are demanding, and it would be wrong to accept students into a program for which they do not show potential for success. An audition clearly reveals this.
Do I need to be admitted to RIC before I audition?
No. Please schedule your audition as soon as you can. However, it is to your advantage to also apply for admission as early as possible.
Do different music degrees have different audition standards?
Yes. The BM in Performance has the highest expectations, followed by the BM in Music Education, and the BA in Music.
What if I don't pass the audition into the degree I want?
We sometimes hear students audition for the Music Education or the Performance programs who, though they show potential, are not quite ready to be accepted into these majors. They may be accepted as music majors into the BA-Music program, with the opportunity to re-audition for the program of choice after one or two semesters at RIC. Fortunately, most music classes are the same for all incoming freshmen music majors.
What if I don't pass the audition for any music degree?
RIC is an excellent college, and we are proud of our programs in all areas. Students who do not pass the audition to be accepted as a music major are encouraged to find an academic major which is more suited to their strengths.
How do I schedule an audition?
Scheduling your audition is as easy as filling in a form. Click here to schedule your audition.
What should I perform at my audition?
Click here for a list of suggested audition repertoire.
What about accompanists?
Piano accompaniment is required for all vocalists and will be provided if requested. Accompaniment for instrumentalists is not required.
Who listens to my audition?
A committee of the music faculty will hear each audition.
What else do I need to do to apply to RIC?
To qualify for admission as a freshman or transfer student, all applicants must follow the general admission procedure of the college, which includes submitting a complete application to the Admissions Office. To learn more, click here.
Are music scholarships available at RIC?
Yes! Rhode Island College awards over $50,000 in talent-based music scholarships each year based on auditions, and all incoming music majors (including transfer students) are eligible. All awards are four-year, continuing scholarships that range from $750 per year to full tuition. The amount of each award may vary according to the talent level of the applicant and the needs of the Department.
Is there a separate audition for scholarships?
No, your entrance audition serves also as your scholarship audition.

Is there a single safe spray to kill bugs on all vegetables?
One spray to kill 'em all - wouldn't that be nice. The trouble is, different bugs need different treatments at different times - and what kills pests is also lethal to beneficial bugs. Few chemicals are without their potential problems for people, either, so try other control methods first: rotate, water, weed and fertilise your plants to keep them healthy; encourage natural predators, including ladybirds, hoverflies and birds; and remove pests by hand where you can.
How far back can I prune some very overgrown camellias?
As far as you like. As a general rule camellias need only a light annual trim after flowering, but they can take much more drastic measures. Be sure to use clean sharp tools, as jagged cuts encourage disease, and cut flush to feeder branches without leaving stubs. Applying sealant to the wound is no longer thought necessary. For the next year or a severely pruned plant will put its energy into producing new growth rather than flowers.

Green infrastructure allows us to collect and infiltrate stormwater by keeping it out of sewers and waterways, reducing flooding and basement back-ups. It can be as simple as connecting a rain barrel to your home or planting native vegetation.
The City of Milwaukee's Green Infrastructure GIS planning tool is now publicly available at http://city.milwaukee.gov/mapmilwaukee. This tool is available to stormwater professionals and students engaged in community planning. Through open data sharing, the tool will advance green infrastructure planning in the City of Milwaukee. Please send any feedback to firstname.lastname@example.com.
In this study by the Center for Economic Development (CED) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, green infrastructure is found to be positively correlated with higher Milwaukee-area property values.
Through the Green Streets Stormwater Management Plan, the City of Milwaukee is designing city streets to reduce stormwater flooding risks, improve the quality of our lakes and rivers, and help the City adapt to a changing climate.

There is also a FFX-2 ripping tool called FFX-2_tool that you may want to try, but I have yet to have tried this personally.
KH ripping was not succesful for me using the same method as FFX-2(in my own experience, you may want to try it, however). But, on the Project-Fao page, there is a KH(Final Mix) move ripping tool, KHFM2mov, that you may want to try out, although again, I have not yet tested it.
Also note that KH ripping will only rip the intro movie, as Disney's protection over the other movies are solid.

No title [White sketch] c. 1973 is a calm and introspective painting. On a tall, thin sheet of masonite, the artist has painted a series of graceful, physical brushstrokes in white paint.[2] Tuckson seems to have worked with the board hung horizontally on the wall. Starting from a point about 30 cm from the right side, he made a fluid stroke to the right-hand edge then, looping back on the original mark, he trailed the brush the entire length of the board. From this 'horizon' line he worked down in a soft arc—echoing the gesture of the arm—and pushed the brush momentarily over the lower edge of the board before continuing this stroke along the lower edge where he finished it with a slight kick. Here Tuckson may have paused to replenish the brush, or turned it, before completing the third, final pass, roughly parallel to the line above. Flicks of red and pink from other works have later dried on unpainted sections of the board.
During his lifetime, Tuckson's career as an artist was overshadowed by his role as arts administrator. On the other hand, his employment at the Art Gallery of New South Wales brought him into contact with modern art through the gallery's temporary exhibitions, through books and magazines in the reference library, and via his connections with other artists living overseas. Daniel Thomas has noted a general shift in Sydney in 1956 as American Abstract Expressionism began to be discussed widely;[3] Tuckson was certainly familiar with the work of influential painters such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, albeit via reproductions. His study of other artists, and the museum-study tour that he undertook in 1967–68, were likewise important to his practice. Indeed, he demonstrates a fascinating assimilation of Western and non-Western sources in his work. In the early 1970s, as Tuckson managed to separate his curatorial commitments from his painting activities—taking responsibility for the collections of Aboriginal and Oceanic art—he had less compunction in exhibiting his work.[4] Recognition, after his solo shows in 1970 and 1973, was prompt.
Tuckson's work reveals his process and, as many commentators have observed, his subject is the act of painting itself.[5] No title [White sketch] captures a moment of self-awareness, of quiet contemplation in painterly form. Tim Fisher goes one step further, reading the painting as a self-portrait, a 'perceptive physical self-description of the painter—his size, balance and, remarkably, his state of mind.'[6] Tuckson combines the urgency of his American counterparts with an elegance of composition. Even in an oeuvre dominated by strong lines, the 'sketch' is unusual for its bravura—only in Tuckson's drawings do we find such austerity and clarity of purpose. 'The same old thing. Up and down and across and back,' was his reply to a young artist who questioned him about what he'd been doing. His response was illustrated with large gestures.[7] If only it was quite so simple.

[3] Thomas points out that the work of American painters such as Pollock and de Kooning was known from magazines, while many Australian artists were already familiar with European tachists such as Pierre Soulages and Hans Hartung. Tony Tuckson 1921–1973: A memorial exhibition,Sydney: Art Gallery of New South Wales 1976, p. 12 or Tony Tuckson, 1921–1973, East Sydney: Watters Gallery & Margaret Tuckson 1982, p. 15.
[4] As deputy director from 1957 until his death in 1973, Tuckson was responsible for the Australian art collection until Daniel Thomas' appointment as Senior Curator and Curator of Australian art in 1971.
[5] James Gleeson, for example, described Tuckson's work as revealing the pains and joys of the birthing process: 'He shows the making of a painting with all the travail fully exposed, without prettification or pretence that it hasn't hurt; there is something almost shocking in the completeness of the exposure … ' Gleeson, 'The travail of painting', Sun Herald, 22 April 1973. In a similar vein, Thomas has suggested that Tuckson's abstract late works emphasized an inner, subjective world and communicated a sense of humanity, courage and freshness.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
RALEIGH, N.C. – Ole Miss catcher Stuart Turner, an All-American and All-SEC performer, was the Rebels' hottest hitter all season.
Turner, a member of the All-SEC tournament team in Hoover last week, did not have the same level of production in his first NCAA tournament.
Turner was 3-for-12 in the Rebels' three games in the Raleigh Regional, hitting just .250, after his average hovered around .390 much of the season.
Turner was 2-for-7 in the losses to William & Mary. All three hits in the regional were singles.
Bjork, Bianco to meet
Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco has one year remaining on his contract, and athletics director Ross Bjork said Sunday that he would meet with Bianco to discuss the future "soon."
Bianco makes more than $600,000 annually through salary and other sources.
Bjork and other Ole Miss administrators arrived at the regional on Sunday.
Ole Miss has been to the NCAAs 11 times in Bianco's 13 seasons as coach. The Rebels have not reached the super regional round or won 40 games since 2009.
Koehler gets stronger
William & Mary right-hander Brett Koehler faced the minimum in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth innings en route to his third complete game.
He gave up a leadoff pinch-hit to Sikes Orvis in the eighth, but got out of the inning with a double-play ball from Tanner Mathis and a called strikeout of Auston Bousfield.
Koehler seemed to grow stronger as the game went on.
"I feel like that's pretty typical for me," he said. "I usually get stronger late in games. I'm glad coach kept me out there. I got more and more confident in my pitches as the game progressed."
Koehler retired the heart of the Rebels' order – Austin Anderson, Turner and Andrew Mistone – to end the game.

I haven't posted much on here lately, but I have been checking in and reading posts. We just got done moving, and moving a farm is twice as much work. The boxes are just about empty, so I had a little time. Weekends are full of 4H events with the kids and trailering horses to shows. No rest for the wicked they say. At least it all waited till after turkey hunting.
One other thing is happy to announce I signed on to the Mossy Oak prostaff, cause I didn't have enough to do. Great company and I am honored to represent them. Just had to do another webinar tonight, but it is neat seeing the new products coming out, this series is all from Remington.
The good thing is fall is not that far off, then I can spend some time in a tree and chase some more turkeys!!!
Time for bed!!

Talk about expectations. The husband of best-selling author of "Fifty Shades of Grey" has come out with a book of his own. In an interview Tuesday on TODAY, Niall Leonard answered questions everyone is asking — about his wife's erotic novel.
Stories from
- Craig Strickland's Widow on Their Last Conversation: 'He Walked Out the Door, Looked at Me and Said, "I Love You"'
- Joe Jonas Packs on PDA with Former Top Model Contestant Jessica Serfaty
- White House Responds to Petition to Pardon Making a Murderer Subjects Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey
- Family of Sandy Hook Victim Commends Florida Atlantic University for Firing Professor Who Questioned Massacre
- Kylie Jenner's Lip Kit Is Ruining Lives (According to the Internet, Anyway)
First, he answered the obvious.
"I am not the inspiration for Christian Grey, except in the sense that being married to me might have made her invent Christian Grey," he said about the protagonist in his wife's book.
And no, the couple's small, semi-detached house does not feature a dungeon or a "red room of pain" full of sex toys.
"We barely have room for the ironing, never mind all the equipment," Leonard said.
Leonard said his wife, E.L. James, mainly wrote the book "for herself and a few friends," and that the novel's extraordinary sales surprised them both.
"In the beginning, when there was no marketing campaign at all, it was purely word of mouth, that momentum just grew and grew," he said. "It became beyond a phenomenon. It became something that metaphors couldn't capture. There are no words for it. We just used to sit around and go, 'wow.'"Story: 'Crusher': Murder and mystery in London's underworld
Leonard said he is a fan of the novel, which he described as passionate, funny and engrossing: "I think it's an amazing book."
Watching the joy his wife got out of writing the book inspired Leonard, a longtime television screenwriter, to pen one of his own. His debut novel, "Crusher," however, is anything but erotic. Instead, it centers on a teenager who tries to clear his name after becoming the prime suspect in the murder of his stepfather, an embittered television screenwriter.Story: 'Fifty Shades of Grey' loses top spot on Amazon's best sellers' list
Leonard said he has enjoyed his career as a TV writer but found it frustrating to be confined to very specific format, length and budget. He craved the freedom his wife had when writing her book.
"She was doing what she really wanted to and doing it her own way, and I kind of envied that," he said. "I thought, yeah, I had forgotten that, that joy of just doing it just for fun, so I wanted to capture some of that when I started writing Crusher."
More in books
Leonard said the success of his wife's book really hasn't changed life much for the longtime couple.
"We have the kids at school. We have to walk the dogs. We have to do the shopping. All that stuff still happens," said Leonard, who also has gotten used to his wife's spotlight.
For the record, he doesn't know who will play Christian Grey when the novel is adapted for the big screen.Video: Is this man 'Shades' of Christian Grey?
Leonard said he's heard all sorts of crazy rumors but doesn't have the lead on any of them.
"My official line is no comment," he said. "I have no idea."

Yields 4 quarts
This is the Indian yogurt drink that most people are familiar with. I ordinarily wouldn't recommend using a canned product, but because Kesar mango pulp (extracted from the Kesar variety of mango) is so authentically Indian, we decided to use it in combination with fresh mango in order to keep the distinctive flavor. You can find cans of it in most Indian markets, or substitute all fresh mango. Try this over ice on a hot summer day. It's amazingly refreshing!
Put 1 cup of cold water, the mango pulp, the fresh mango, and the salt in a blender. Puree on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. Pour the puree into a medium bowl and whisk in the yogurt and 3 cups of cold water. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Serve chilled over ice.

|>> Archive: Warmwater Gamefish Flies Freshwater Bass, pike, muskie?!?
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Pete, I'm so pleased this bugger worked for you !
John: Thanks - regarding eyes, with the tarpon taper winding on the head, it would be a paint job. Yes, you've seen my secret arsenal of highly attractive nail colors and sequin nighttime flashies , but I chose to not eye these :eyecrazy:
Answer this question: if you suggest this is a thick Rat's Ass, I can see the proportioning you mean, but - IF I make this Rat's Ass style, do I want to palmer the marabou, tie it on quill style, or is it tyer choice?
|Nice Fly Dave..looks a little like a thick Rats ass without the clouser eyes.... In a different color that would make a great striper fly no doubt.... what... no Lolita eyes???
Tried it out last weekend at a local Pike lake, nothing else was working and the big guys have yet to come in to the shallow. I tied it on to a full sink, type 4, and thought it would sink better than the other flies I had been using. I also have to admit that it's size and color was intriguing to me. Up till now I had been using white's mostly since the water color is still murky.
First cast, let it sink to about 12-15 feet and BANG, a nice 15 pounder was making my reel sing...
Great pattern, will try it again tomorrow in clearer water.
Pics to follow sometime next week..
|Dble Haul
Barr's Bouface (Pike swap entry)
Here's Dave Fix's swap fly and the recipe as he describes it:
As I leafed through the Umpqua pattern book, I noticed something similar
called "Barr's 'Bouface" - I guess it pays to have name recognition
This sucker is probably way overtied, material wise. I tend to tie heavy on
some things, as some of you know. If anyone wants to, I suppose some of the
materials could be snipped or cropped. It works in red/white, frog
green/yellow, yellow/blue/green, black/color, black/black. You choose.
Hook: (tyer choice) Varivas 990S 1/0 or 2/0.
Thread: (tyer choice - needs to be durable and finishing cement absorbent)
Danville Flat Waxed Nylon, Black (this project); 3/0 Monocord, etc.
Cement: Tyer Choice.
Tail: Black Saddle and Black Schlappen, 4 ea., minimum 6" long. Pick good,
matched quills in both materials.
Flash: Flashabou and Krystal Flash in Iridescent Green/Pearl Green, rainbow,
etc. (tyer choice)
Collar: Black Marabou Bloods; Orange Marabou Bloods. These should be full,
broad brushes, nicely matched in size and profile.
Eye: Tyer Choice. (left out this time)
Wrap hook shank from 1/3 behind eye to beginning of bend; hitch off, hang
bobbin; coat wrapping with cement.
Strip saddle hackle shafts of all but 1/2" marabou near base. Leave 1/2-3/4"
bare quill to bind to hook.
Bind saddle hackle one at a time, flatwing style, at point above bend.
Position quills so they match clock positions Eleven, Twelve (two quills),
One o'clock. Two top quills match tips; two side quills draw slightly
forward creating taper either side of matched tips. After positioning, wrap
quills to secure, hitch and hang bobbin; cement.
Tie Schlappen at 90 degrees each side, about 1/2" shorter than hackle ends,
praying hand style; wrap, hitch, cement.
At this point, even on a hook shank of about an inch, you've only used half
the hook shank for materials. Choose to wind in flash here, saving some for
collar finishing or hold until collar completed, then apply flash.
Marabou. Because Marabou is so much fun to work with, I'll be as detailed as
Marabou takes up an awful lot of room on a hook shank if you just slap it
on. Even with careful application, it can be a major P.I.A. It's beauty is
it's action in the water. If you tie this on a smaller hook, decrease
material count accordingly. If you are unfamiliar with using marabou or
don't like using marabou, use 1/8" cross-cut zonker strips. Marabou can be
tied down as far as #4 with quills correctly proportioned; anything under
that involves quills and barbs. If you don't like the full profile of
schlappen, tie it sparse with saddle hackles alone.
This collar is six to eight bloods heavy, depending on fill power of
marabou; three to four of each color, top and bottom.
Strip the base of each quill of rough material. Match sides of quills at
about 1 1/2 or longer. Leave 1/2" bare quill for wrapping.
At this point, save stripped, salvageable barbs to use as filler.
Beginning on bottom of hook shank, fix one orange quill each at Four and
Eight o'clock, matching brush ends. Fix the two remaining quills between
these. Hitch and cement. Turn hook over and repeat top with black quills,
matching lengths.
Observe small voids in collar colors. Fill with necessary saved barbs.
At this point you're approaching wrapping the head. If you have any quill
ends sticking out, trim so they taper toward the eye; do not cut them off
flush, or your thread will jump off the ends as you wrap. Also, be careful
to NOT tension your Flat Waxed Nylon so tightly as to fray it. I like using
FWN, but I tend to tension it quite a bit at the head, occasionally breaking
off with accompanying cursing.
As you wrap, you will find those spaces which may be filled with barbs of
marabou to finish building collar. Taper head wrap in tarpon style finish.
Include all or remaining flash. Whip, apply eyes if desired, cement, etc.
I've tied this before in different dimensions. Some past efforts have
included hidden collar rings like Electric Green between the major colors,
Jungle Cock nails, Golden Pheasant or Lady Amherst tippets, as well as
painted, holographic or molded eyes.
This thing can feel like a submarine when wet and submerged, but it can be
stripped at any of several rates, skipping over water's top to dredging
bottom. I particularly like watching this pattern be attacked while being
dragged outside a pond lily line or down the edge of a rip.

Thanks again to everyone. I had a great birthday, even though my heels decided not to show up Saturday night (it's ok though, they are still reigning national champs).
Tycho, that is a funny post you made. Although you fail to take into consideration that it might not just be bad mistakes made by the Chargers..it could also be the Jets playing defense.

Techie stuff
My latest Python/XML article is out: Proper XML Output in Python. I think this one is applicable beyond the Python community. There is a lot of bad XML being generated out there.
Fourthought won, as a subcontractor, a bid to develop a Web publishing system for the Colorado Secretary of State's legal codes. The project is based on 4Suite, and we are going to be using it as the vehicle for pushing 4Suite through to 1.0 status. It's been a giddy week.
Silly stuff
OK. This 419 SPAM letter from "PRNCSS. L ORGANA" just about had me rolling down the stairs laughing.
Artsy stuff
I bought the new Ms. Jade, Girl, Interrupted. It's straight up banging. I almost drove the car into the ditch when "Jade's the Champ" came on. It's everything it was hyped up to be. Jazzyfatnastees' new joint Tortoise and Hare is just sublime. They come close to surpassing their superb first album. Thirstin' Howl's Skilligan's Island is just as sick and hilarious as I like it. The High and Mighty come a bit less impressively with their new album Air Force 1, but it's OK. For some reason, they didn't include the single with Apani B Fly, "Josie". That was a mistake. Can't wait for the new Common, Roots, Talib Kweli and Cody Chestnutt albums. to come out.
On a very sad note, I just learned about the art show The Gonzagas in Mantua in Mantua, and I'm just crushed. It would have been the experience of a lifetime, and if there were any way I could make a trip to Italy in the next month before it closed, I would be there. But it hardly seems possible. What a terrible shame.

Leach, WSU cleared of abuse allegations
PULLMAN, Wash - The Pac-12 Conference has completed its investigation into abuse allegations by WSU football coach Mike Leach. Their report finds no wrongdoing, despite accusations by former player Marquess Wilson.
The Pac-12 began reviewing Leach and the program after Wilson sent a letter to the media last fall. In the letter, he says he hopes his departure from the team "will bring awareness to the physical, emotional and verbal abuse being allowed in the locker room and on the field." WSU says Wilson recanted those allegations just hours later.
In its review, the Pac 12 investigators say they talked to Wilson about the letter. He told them, "I wasn't trying to accuse anyone of abuse.... there was no point where I was trying to say that they're abusing us. I was simply stating why I was leaving - that's all I was trying to do."
When asked why he used the word "abuse" in the letter, Wilson said, "I definitely could have used a different word. I couldn't think of anything or another word at the time I was writing it."
Wilson also acknowledged his step-father gave him "ideas" for the letter, but insists he wrote the letter himself.
In the report, witnesses tell the Pac-12 coaches use strong language in practice and that much of that language was directed at Wilson. But, none of the players described that language as abusive. According to the report, "Most of the student-athletes indicated they have heard that kind of language from coaches most of their lives and are not offended by it."
In its conclusion, the Pac 12 says, "based on the evidence developed in this investigation, there is no basis to conclude that there were any instances of physical, emotional or verbal abuse by university football coaches."
It continues, "The investigative team found there is a clear and identifiable understanding from the student-athletes that the coaches are holding them to higher standards of conduct than they have been held to in the past."
In a statement released Tuesday morning, WSU President Elson S. Floyd said, "The well-being of all WSU students is our highest priority and it was important to take seriously allegations against the program. Now that all the reviews are completed and have rejected those allegations, we will continue to move forward with our goal of establishing a successful program while maintaining the high standards shared by Washington State University, WSU Athletics and Coach Leach.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Anyone still in for Friday at White's?
Nathan, without getting into specifics, look below the singing bridge, the salmon are real dark with greenish tails, they're almost black colored with silver areas on them. There are some monster sized fish in there, some I saw today were easily 24" fish without exaggerating. I would estimate that I saw 100 plus fish in there today. They're really picky too! Try grey ghosts, or baitfish imitations.
Saw many of them with their mouths flashing, which I thought was interesting as I was always under the impression that salmon didn't feed when spawning....leads me to believe that maybe some of them are in there to snack on eggs
|Nathan Smith
RE:Anyone still in for Friday at White's?
Any particularly good places on the stillwater
RE:Anyone still in for Friday at White's?
Juro and all, definitely hit the Stillwater this weekend, the river is crawlin with salmon and large browns! Firt cast into the river was a silver streak after my fly, second cast was a solid hookup that literally ripped my 7x tippet off my line, he was on for about 20 seconds but snaaap and gone! Did get to see him though and he was BIG! Saw LOTS of salmon today...some holes had 20 or more stuffed in them!!! Had just as much fun watching and counting them as trying to catch them!
RE:Anyone still in for Friday at White's?
My son's (6 yrs.) has been asking "when can I start flyfishing?". I just put together a rod for him. Found a tiny Pflueger fly reel somewhere. IT's about a 2.5" diameter. Put it on an ultra light spin that has tiny eyes and is just the length.
Juro: Keep digging, I'll be on my way out before dawn!
RE:Anyone still in for Friday at White's?
> Does jigging artificials with feathers
> through the ice pass muster?
Only if you cut a 50' slit in the ice and throw the jigs on a fly rod Good to hear from you. We missed you at the Boneclave this year.
While we are bandying proud father stories, my 3 year old son said to me the other day, "When I grow up to be a man, I'm gonna throw flies in the big ocean, just like you, Daddy." The wording made me crack up. Now if I can just keep grandpa from corrupting his priorities with golf.
RE:Anyone still in for Friday at White's?
Good call on passing up the trip without the paper. Few places are more likely to be patroled by the warden than White's. We're too old and wise to get on the wrong side of the law, even by accident.
Congrats on your son's achievment! He clearly has environment as well as heredity on his side. I experienced a similar feeling last spring when my oldest won several academic awards. I realized the pride I felt at that moment surpased any I ever experienced for my own accopmlishments.
I'm really hoping to get some on the water time now that the long travel/all day fishing season is over. A few hours at White's or Walden will carry me far.
BTW, I know this is a purest's board, but anybody besides me do much ice fishing? Does jigging artificials with feathers through the ice pass muster?
RE:Anyone still in for Friday at White's?
I pinned my FW Licence on my Red Bo-Sox Cap, but after having it blown off my head out on the boat about a half dozen times & having a tough time retreiving it more than once, I finally took it off & put in the center consol of my truck. And there it sits.
BTW: Great picture of Son with fish, but doesn't that belong on "Stripers & Coastal Game Fish". That looks like Monomoy not Whites :->}
RE:Anyone still in for Friday at White's?
Well, got up. Got ready. Got to the door... the rain didn't stop me, I decided neoprene, not goretex. Fraser rain jacket, possibly fleece gloves. Just like winter steelheading.
Probably 2 hours max, minus loading and rowing. That's probably about 1.5, thereabouts. No that didn't stop me.
Run down the mental checklist - flybox loaded with selections from the Elk and Bow by the generosity of a good friend and member Pete Lavoilette from Calgary - check. 5wt setup and extra spool (sinking) - check. Pontoon boat, oars, check. License.... dOh!
Here I sit all broken hearted, tried to fish but only brain-farted!
Terry -
I'll dig it up by the morning, find my dup certificate, or buy another if I have to.
Must be November.
RE:Anyone still in for Friday at White's?
Great to hear from you Mike! Somehow I can't imagine you not fishing hard with all due respect but I'm sure your priorities are set right and there are lots of dividends later for the time invested now.
Just saw my son sworn into National Honor Society last night, talk about choking up. I tried not to be too proud but inside I was gleaming like nobody's business. It was the pride on *his* face for what he had done that was by far the best part. I saw a little of that look on Monomoy this summer when he landed a fat legal bass on the fly, but nothing like this. Glad I made time to interact a lot with my kids while they were young and we were living in the Seattle suburbs, and perhaps most importantly my wife has always been and is always the image of a treasured mom for them.
In any case, I am going to go put my kickboat into my truck and hope I find myself rowing into the fog at dawn. Thanks for the inspiration!
RE:Anyone still in for Friday at White's?
Hey all, how ya been? Haven't seen nor heard from alot of you guys in awhile. Mostly 'cause I hardly ever fish anymore. Posted a few times on Jeff's board, but not been very active this season.
Just wanted to chime in on one of my favorite places - White's Pond. Stopped in at lunch time yesterday [Wed] to scout. Didn't have gear with me. Big mistake! Went down to the back side near the conservation area. The water was anything but sterile! It was warm and a gentle breeze was blowing onshore. The midges were hatching by the droves and the breeze drove them close to shore where trout were rising everywhere. The takes were quiet sips with small dimples. Looked like sunnies or maybe shiners, but trust me, they were trout [or most were anyway]. They were close enough to shore were I could positively ID them with my poloroids. They were surprisingly big for the size of the rises. They were well within even my flycasting range. Matter of fact they were close enough to swim behind you as you waded. The number of fish rising was very impressive, although that is the norm for this pond. This pond holds over very well and is always loaded with trout. Of course that means nothing about how catchable they are. The midges hatch here anytime the air is over 40-45 F and the wind is not to intense. They are the big black, leggy, mosquitoish looking midges [chrinomid?]. Probably a #16 -#18 hook with sparse but oversized hackles, no tail. A black knat dry or wet or a wormy looking chrinomid nymph should work.
Wish I could get out tomorrow, but got Daddy duty all day. A cold rainy, windy day is not a great day to see surface action, but the trout still feed. I'll be watching for that warm Indian Summer weather that makes the fishing as good as the catching.
Happy hooking!
RE:Anyone still in for Friday at White's?
Actually, it's good that no one's going out of their way to stand in the drizzly cold tomorrow. I think I'll put the kickboat in the truck tonight, set the alarm and see how motivated I am in the AM.
I stopped by there this morning for a minute. The fog was so thick the pond seemed to disappear a long cast from shore. The water was as clear as gin, a small fish dimpled the surface and it looked kinda sterile.
I wondered what it would be like to row into the void and explore the depths for fall trout near the gravel shoal at the opening to Sperry Cove. I hope it's pea soup tomorrow in case I get motivated!

Jared: Thanks for the kind offer, but I hear Budreski is planning on bringing only one change of clothes, and I wouldn't wish his scent on my worst enemy. It's better left up to the "olfactory impaired" such as myself.

well if you're not totally recovered by next week...i'd be more than happy
to head down to NC in your stead....
RE:Anyone still in for Friday at White's?
I'm Hitting the RI Waters on Sunday with Ray. I don't know how much free time I'll have the rest of the weekend, between plans with wife, chores around house, & boat maintenance.
I feel bad, because I kind of instigated this hole thing. People are willing to teach & all I have to do is show up & learn. But, I could not pass up one more trip to the salt. I will try to make either the Friday or Saturday ventures; I'm kind of leaning towards Saturday for better weather. Someone post the meeting time/place for Saturday, I have maps so I can find my way. However, I could be back from Whites before my better half is even up on Friday? I'll feel out the situation & post again later.

I arrived near the end of the second series land blind, I know they started the second series with twenty dogs
The line was down the hill at an angle, across the road, cut off the corner of the dry pond and back up the hill
Not a long blind but a good change in elevation and terrain, the slope would carry the dogs too far downhill of the blind
Depth perception was a key factor as one of my training partners found out when he misjudged the location of the blind, the dog knew where it was
Sorry Rod! Edited the earlier post.
I just heard that 8 dogs where called back to the 4th Series in the Open.

Family: Emberizidae, New World Sparrows view all from this family
Description ADULT Has mostly sandy brown plumage with warm, pinkish flush to underparts and pinkish orange undertail coverts. JUVENILE Similar, but has subtle streaks on underparts and faint pinkish wing bars.
Dimensions Length: 8-9" (20-23 cm)
Habitat Common resident of dense cover in desert woodlands, particularly those that fringe rivers, but range is extremely restricted, hence vulnerable to habitat loss and destruction.
Observation Tips Listen for feeding birds.
Range California, Southwest
Voice Song is an accelerating series of squeaky pik notes, ending in a chattering trill; call is a thin, but grating peek.
Discussion Rather secretive, arid-country towhee. Usually feeds in dense cover by scratching ground for insects and seeds. Plumage is unremarkable and plain overall, except for striking dark face and contrasting pale bill. Sexes are similar.

The State House was mostly empty Tuesday afternoon, as the snow dropped cold and wet outside. So the crowd was rather modest as Governor Lincoln Chafee walked into the ornate State Room, just outside his office, to announce four new picks for the nine-member Board of Regents for Elementary and Secondary Education.
But the selections, despite the modest rollout, could be among the most consequential of the governor's administration.
Love it or hate it, Rhode Island's market-driven education reform movement — charter schools, tougher teacher evaluations, higher graduation standards — has been a juggernaut over the last couple of years.
The state's Democratic establishment, most notably Speaker of the House Gordon Fox and Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed, has bucked the teachers unions and voiced strong support for the reform push.
And the business types — who, incidentally, write the occasional check for a political campaign — have been stalwart supporters of the movement and its hard-charging leader, education commissioner Deborah Gist.
So when Chafee voiced skepticism about the movement on the campaign trail — pointing, in particular, to charter schools' mixed record nationwide — the reform crowd grew nervous about how he might reshape the Board of Regents if elected.
The anxiety only mounted earlier this week when Chafee moved board chairman Robert G. Flanders, a key Gist ally, off the panel and into the high-profile post of Central Falls receiver.
But the picks fit into a broader Chafee pattern, when it comes to high-profile picks: tapping well-respected figures, many of them Democratic insiders, while still managing to surprise.
Chafee's choice to replace Flanders as chairman, former House Majority Leader George Caruolo, certainly fit the bill. The nominee's intelligence and political skills command broad respect on Smith Hill, but he's been out of the political circuit for some time; at the press conference, he said he hadn't stepped foot in the State House since leaving office in 1998.
Chafee has built a reputation for independence and a moderate politics, and he has sought to imbue his choices for key offices with that aura; indeed, Caruolo — at first blush — doesn't seem the anti-reform ideologue that some in the reform movement feared.
During his time in the legislature, he was a vocal supporter of charter schools. And like Chafee, he has a reputation for independence.
The philosophies of Chafee's three other appointees to the board — Carolina B. Bernal, program director at the Institute for Labor Studies, Robert L. Carothers, former president of the University of Rhode Island, and Mathies J. Santos, a former education department official who now works as the Rhode Island outreach associate for the Boston Veteran Affairs Research Institute — remained a cipher in the hours after the announcement. And that had the education reform crowd striking a wait-and-see posture in public.
Bill Fischer, spokesman for the Rhode Island branch of Democrats for Education Reform, said the nominees are clearly "very talented." But his group was withholding judgment, he said, until it could get a better handle on the views of the four picks.

Realize a lot of us have to work weekends.
For me, giving up running a test to go work at another test means that I may not get out that year at all. I am more than happy to work at a test that I am entered in; I just can't give up one of my precious weekends off (especially in the spring/summer/early fall) to go work and not run the dog.

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
This weekend, Adam Morgan of Tupelo will find out whether or not he has the best burger in the state.
Morgan, owner of Blue Canoe restaurant on North Gloster, was notified about a month ago that he was one of the top 10 finalists in the Mississippi Beef Council's "Mississippi's Best Burger Contest."
"Somebody posted a link on Facebook to the contest on the state cattlemen's association's website and that's how I found out about the contest," Morgan said. "I told my customers if they liked our burgers, then needed to go online and vote for it."
And they did.
A total of 1,100 votes were cast for 150 restaurants across the state. The winner, which will be announced Saturday at the Mississippi Cattlemen's Association Convention and Dixie National Farm Expo, will receive a $1,000 advertising package from the Mississippi Beef Council to recognize the accomplishment.
"I like to think people voted for our burger because it's good and because it's a good value," Morgan said. "You get two ground beef patties dressed any way you want, and there's no extra charge, not for cheese or bacon or anything else. Putting a fried egg on there is real popular now."
A burger with fries is $8.
The Blue Canoe actually offers three different burgers on its menu. The Blue Canoe is two patties dressed any way you like. The Surf 'n Turf is two patties topped with crawfish, Cheddar cheese and a sweet chili sauce. The Smash Burger is two patties made from a mixture of ground chuck, Benton's bacon and steak scraps, and dressed.
A panel of judges was to anonymously visit the restaurant and try a burger. Morgan's not sure if they've been in his restaurant yet or not.
"And if they did, I don't know which burger they tried," he said. "They're all good. The Blue Canoe is probably the best-seller. It's been on our menu since Day 1."
Top 10 Finalists
• 2 Brothers Grill, Hattiesburg
• Babalu, Jackson
• Blue Canoe, Tupelo
• Halfway House, Starkville
• Market Cafe, Louisville
• Parlor Market, Jackson

Police officer civil service examination scheduled
Moore encourages individuals interested in law enforcement to take test
BOSTON - Sen. Richard T. Moore, D-Uxbridge, announced that the Human Resources Division has scheduled a Municipal Service Police Officer, State Trooper and MBTA Transit Police Officer examination that will be held on Saturday, April 20, 2013.
"Law enforcement can be a very rewarding profession," stated Sen. Moore. "The civil service exam is a critical component to joining the police force in cities and towns that subscribe to the civil service, or the MBTA Transit Police, and can even be used for other similar opportunities. I encourage anyone who is interested in becoming an officer to apply, study, and sit for the exam."
The police officer examination will be held to establish an eligible list from which to fill Police Officer vacancies in civil service cities and towns, and MBTA Transit Police. This eligible list may also be used to fill Police Officer vacancies in non-civil service jurisdictions. This examination is also being held to establish an eligible list from which to fill non-civil service Trooper vacancies in the Massachusetts Department of State Police. Applicants will have the option to have their exam results apply to both Police Officer and Trooper eligible lists, or the Police Officer eligible list only.
Moore urged candidates to thoroughly review the Examination Announcement, which provides a detailed description of the application procedure and specific minimum entrance requirements for each title. The posting also includes information specific to the positions of Police Officer and Trooper.
All applications to take the exam must be submitted online. Applicants can apply at: www.mass.gov/civilservice. More information about the civil service exam, including the Examination Announcement and study materials are also available on Civil Service website.
For more information about Sen. Moore, visit www.senatormoore.com, or follow him on Facebook at www.facebook.com/senatormoore.
