Excellent Point.
I like the idea of trimming down your fly "on-site" to match the conditions. I'm going to try that. I also totally agree with you that bonefish are not the most selective fish on the planet. I am certainly not the most experienced bonefisherman-in fact, I still consider myself very much to be a novice who is in the thick of the learning curve with a long ways to go.
I have about six total weeks of bonefishing, but one thing I have found interesting is that when you go with a guide, they are always very, very specific about they want you to throw. All the guides I've had have gone through my boxes, and "discarded" about 3/4 of them, and then they will have me fish with one of about four different patterns. On the two weeks that I have fished on my own, I have tried all kinds of patterns and caught fish on pretty much anything, with minimal refusals. I think that far and away, the hardest thing about bonefishing is 1. finding the fish. 2. seeing the damn things (especially with my Rocky Mountain trout eyes) and 3. leading them right and putting the cast in the right spot. I have yet to find that the pattern is absolutely critical, although I feel that the size is important. Anyway, nice information. Great pictures and ties too, K.
Hi Dave,
Your welcome... Thats an old trick. If I ever catch a decent fish I'll definately do the same thing. "This fish was actually caught on <insert discussed pattern here>"
Nice fish - Where did you catch it?
By the way, I see the sense detaching materials to match the conditions. I have actually added as much "bling-bling" as possible to my own flies. I was just wondering if you have ever removed the bead chains succesfully?
..... Here's an 8/9 lber caught two weeks ago on a fly that I altered three times before I was comfortable with it.
Had to sneak in a little gratuitous fish porn
A lot of great input already but I wanted to chime in as well.
IMHO there is very little difference between 90% of the flies in the bonefishing universe. Pretty much all small and tan, right? Based on that assumption I've come up with a very effective way of maximizing the flies in my box. There are four main differences in my flies:
1. Size
2. Weight
3. Flash
4. Attractors (legs, eyes, etc)
I agree that you want to tie up at least 6 at a time. I usually pick three sizes (4, 6 & 8). Then I tie them in three different weights (weight and size are, to me, the two most important variables). That's a total of 56 flies for all types of water.
Here is what I do that is a little bit different. I tie all these flies the same, including flash, eyes, and legs. I include EVERYTHING on the pattern. By having everything already on the fly, it only takes a small pair of scissors to adjust to current conditions and fish preference. Fish spooked because of the flash, take out the scissors and with a couple of snips the fly is muted and flashless.
I used to have the exact same problem you outlined at the beginning of this thread and this solved it. Let's face it, Bonefish are incredible pound for pound fighters, but are typically not the most selective fish in the world (I know some people will argue this, but as a gerenal rule....). As long as you know the basic patterns used on a given Island, this approach works.
Hope that helps
Geordie, thanks for sharing.
Your tieing "conditions" is a privilege I hope I will have someday
Good point with the throwaway fly...
|Geordie Shanks
Killer stuff
I had kind of the same experience as you did in that one of my mentors is an exceptional tyer and did so professionally at one time. He told me that he didn't feel like he knew a fly until he had tied a "dozen-dozen". A.K. Best has a similar quote in one his books. I'll tie a dozen when doing trout flies, but when I tie bonefish flies, I stick with half a dozen. Most trips I've been on, I rarely lose flies and they are so bombproof (I zap a gap everything in sight) that I rarely will use more than 3-4 of one pattern. I love to tie and will inevitably hand out flies to anyone who wants some, which means I get to tie more. Good stuff.
One other invaluable tip he told me was to never let a "throwaway" fly in your box. You boys know what I'm talking about. Especially when tying a new pattern, there's those inevitable ties where the wing is a little too long, or the body is too stout, or the hackle is too small. I used to put those in my box thinking that in a pinch, I would use them. I never, ever do and will usually look for a different pattern. If I tie a bug that is not up to snuff, I will put it in a separate container and palm it off on one of my fishing buddies rather than let it take up valuable space in my box.
I'm fortunate in that I have a room for tying and abundant tying time. I used to lay stuff out, but I realized that I have about 3,000 flies in my vest and gear bags, and I am really in no hurry and can take my time. I really enjoy messing around with different stuff and trying different variations of a fly. I rarely will tie a steelhead pattern the same, and will mix something up on most ties. Have fun on your trip.
Thanks Trev
I've made quite some ugly mutants as well. I'll bring them thou they will probably never be used...
However Im very satisfied with the Sili-Gotcha. I cant wait to throw it at them
|Trevor B
Tying up a dozen or half dozen of one patern is also a lot more economical material wise as well, and like everyone is saying the quality and consistancy improves quickly as well, if I ever try to flip around on paterns I usually end up in a hell of a mess !
Ps your flies look good to me
I got your point and I agree, thanks!
Well, I might need to several dozen of the above "killer" in size 6
I think the bones will go crazy on it...
This is exactly what myself and others were talking about. And if you know you are going to need several dozen of each fly and size, you can go about tying them in batches of 12 per tying sessions. You will be amazed at how quickly you will have all the flies you need, and your tying area will stay neat as well.
Ok - Im rolling now
First, make a mess:
Then clean it up and organize:
Decide a specific pattern:
Tie at least half a dozen at same configuration
Thanks a lot for all of your advices!
Its very encouraging to receive such input.
Im allready on my way to the vice, looking very forward to tie a bunch.
Im a little short on hooks, so the six-piece-at-a-time approach must be the way to go. I've decided to start with size 4 gotchas with clear/orange sili legs. I will let you know how I get away with it.
Since Im tieing at a small collapsible kitchen table (humble conditions - I know ) the point about lying the materials out ready in advance is even more reasonable. I will definately do that.
I have 6 weeks to take-off, means there is still time to tie a bunch. Further, I've decided to bring a vice and a selection of materials. I'll be on the road for almost 3 months so I guess I'll eventually run short on flies regardless how many I tie in advance. My goal must be to fill the box with a good selection of basic patterns (which leaves gotchas with sili legs as basic pattern ). I will have plenty of time to experience "out there" and adjust the flies to "local conditions"
Thanks again!
The advice from Flytyer is very good.
I can understand where you are coming from. I have suffered from the same syndrome.
The problem only really becomes apparent when you start fishing.
You have a box full of different flies, which fly do you choose?
You find a fly that works and then you either lose it or a fish destroys it, what do you do now?
By all means tie variations but make sure that you have enough of each type.
|in my limited experience i have found that bonefish are a little like trout in that they tend to key in on a particular size and color due to water depth, light, and current. i tend to tie my flies in 3 weights so that i have a choice of fly depending on the water depth and current. i tie 5 or 6 flies in each pattern/weight. i also tie up some larger brighter flies for those days when wind, current and water turbulence make visibility (for the fish) an issue. those larger patterns i usually tie in 1 or 2 weights. likewise, for those days when the water is calm and shallow, the sun bright and the current slow, (and thus the fish spooky as hell) i tie smaller flies without weight so as to present softly without spooking the fish. in such conditions i want to have 3 different shades of fly depending on the color of the sand. i.e. bright and shiny, light tan, and light brown. i think that jims' and flytyers' advice on the actual tieing is spot on. if nothing else, follow their advice. it will make the whole fly tieing experience more enjoyable and productive.
Flytyer provides some sage advice on tying multiple flies of the same size and configuration. Laying out the material in advance is also a good technieque used by the profesiionals. One other advantage to tying 6-12 each of one pattern/size is that with quantity, the quality improves. My rule of thumb on new patterns is that it generally takes tying one fly six times to get a constant quality.
Consistency also is a function of paying attention to detail. As an example, when I get materials ready for a particular pattern, e.g. clousers, synthetic material length and quantity are identical for the batch being tied.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
The Nasdaq Composite Index is swooning, down 1.5% at 4,044, along with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average following weak ISM manufacturing data this morning, as reported by my colleague Ben Levisohn this morning.
Shares of enterprise storage equipment vendor Violin Memory (VMEM) are down 18 cents, or almost 5%, at $3.60, after the company announced it appointed Kevin DeNuccio, a networking equipment veteran, to be its new CEO, replacing Howard Bain III, who had been serving on an interim bassi since the departure of Don Balsille back in mid-December.
Among the initial reactions this morning, Mark Moskowitz of J.P. Morgan, who rates the shares Neutral, writes that the announcement "Stands to introduce some stability for the stock," but nevertheless, "It does not change our view on the turnaround challenges at Violin. Among other things, we think Mr. DeNuccio will need to revamp the channel strategy and rein in OpEx growth."
Shares of Juniper Networks (JNPR) are up a penny at $26.62, after activist investors Elliott Management, which earlier this month said it had bought up 6.2% of the stock, this morning released a statement saying it had received "absolutely overwhelming support" from shareholders for a "shareholder value plan" it put forward proposing cost cuts and a stepped-up return of cash to holders, and saying it "pleased with our dialogue with the Company."
Pacific Crest's Brent Bracelin this morning reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of Cisco Systems (CSCO), and a $27 price target, writing that the company "is at a crossroads," given the threat of cloud computing and software-defined networking (SDN). He think Cisco needs to "do a bigger strategic acquisition that expands its footprint," especially given it has $48 billion in cash and equivalents, more than the forecast for revenue this year of $46 billion.
Cisco should buy EMC (EMC) or Salesforce (CRM), perhaps, or maybe Red Hat (RHT), or maybe ServiceNow (NOW), or, alternatively, Splunk (SPLK), and Commvault (CVLT), Nimble Storage (NMBL), or Fusion-io (FIO), among the various candidates Bracelin outlines.
Shares of chip equipment vendors Applied Materials (AMAT), KLA Tencor (KLAC), and Lam Research (LRCX) are weak after RBC Capital Markets's Mahesh Sanganeria cut his ratings on all three of them to Sector Perform from Outperform, writing that "While we maintain our positive secular view on the semi cap sector driven by increasing capital intensity, in the near term, we do expect memory spending to moderate and 20nm foundry adoption to be relatively muted."
Applied stock is down 9 cents, or half a percent, at $16.73. Shares of KLA are down $1.27, or 2%, at $60.20, and Lam stock is down $1.39, or 2.7%, at $49.22.
Shares of Zynga (ZNGA) are up 6 cents, or 1.4%, at $4.46, despite Merrill Lynch's Justin Post cutting his rating on the shares this morning to Underperform from Neutral, with a target price of $3.80, citing valuation as a concern, but also "lack of a product plan." Zynga share are up 25% since Thursday's Q4 report, when it announced it would spend half a billion dollars to buy gaming startup NaturalMotion, and that it would lay off about 15% of staff.
Shares of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) are down 31 cents, or 1%, at $28.69, after an article this morning by The Wall Street Journal's Spencer Ante stating HP found "major accounting errors" in the 2010 financial statements of its Autonomy software business, which caused revenue for the year to be restated 54% lower than originally, according to a document filed by HP in the U.K.
Shares of content distribution network operator Akamai (AKAM) are down $1.43, or 3%, at $46.25, following a piece by Dan Rayburn of the StreamingMediaBlog.com, stating that Apple (AAPL) has been hiring heavy-hitters in the CDN world "who are tasked with the build-out of a new CDN for external use."
Speaking of Apple, Bloomberg's Patricia Hurtado and Christie Smythe this morning write that Apple's penalty in the e-books lawsuit it lost last summer could run as high as $840 million in damages sought by State attorneys general and by consumers, citing a filing on behalf of the plaintiffs filed with U.S. District Judge Denise Cote yesterday. Cote is to hold a trial on damages sometimes this year.
Apple shares today are bucking a weak market, shares rising $4.29, or 0.9%, at $504.89.
The Journal's Jonathan Cheng today writes that the "Tizen" operating system that has been endorsed by Samsung Electronics (005930KS) as an alternative to Apple's iOS operating system and Google's (GOOG) Android, is losing support among telcos.
"But some of the world's major wireless carriers are beginning to pull their support of phones slated to run the platform," writes Cheng, but "Tizen (pronounced TAI-zen) also has had trouble attracting large developers of applications that are increasingly at the center of the user experience."


text: I'm not too sure how I should approach the topic of examples for the AUHDL. Certainly the license should contain the suggestion (but not the requirement) that three examples be provided for every variation of every type of procedure. I'm very passionate about examples; the lack of examples I've faced in so many math and science textbooks is the main contributor to this sentiment. Anyhow, I'm not sure whether prohibiting modifications that remove examples would be too impractical in some cases.

Hi everyone, well this leg of the trip was definitely a tale of two halves.
The first five days was spent in and around Nadi, on the main island Viti Levu, and the last five was spent on Mantaray Island, which was like being on survivor but without the tasks.
Nadi is the capital and quite different to anywhere else we have been up to now. The area is quite rundown and it is not very safe to walk around at night (even in groups), but it was interesting nonetheless. It has a high concentration of Indo-Fijians all wanting to sell you anything and everything. Like the good old Quality Grog Shop!!
We landed at 4 o'clock in the morning and took a cab from the airport to Beachside Resort, which was about 15 minutes away. We started to get worried when the driver pulled off the main road and onto a dirt track with no lighting. We proceeded for a while on the unpaved roads and the hotel appeared out of the gloom. The hotel pleasantly surprised us and we started planning what to do over the next few days. Due to the location we realized we needed to rent a car and on the hotels recommendation we chose Khan's Rental.
The car turned up and we thought how nice it was of the guy to be cleaning the floor mats for us. The car was a fairly old Japanese import and we quickly realized why he had been cleaning the mats. Depending on which corner we took depended on whose feet got wet from the leaking aircon.
We decided to head north to Raki Raki, which is about 130km away. The road conditions varied from bad to worse as we meandered through various villages all of which are very poor.
One of the main industries is still the sugar cane. Huge fields and cane trains can still be seen everywhere. On average a worker gets US$30 for three weeks work, and hard work it is.
There was not that much to see and as we approached Raki Raki the left rear tyre blew out, a few choice words were said about Khans Cars I can tell you. We changed the tyre and decided it would be silly to carry on so we headed back driving as carefully as possible so we didn't blow out another tyre. We called Khans on our return and told them politely to pick up their hunk of junk and refund us the next four days hire. We finally got our refund over a week later.
As we moaned about what had happened we mainly hung around the hotel for the next few days and the heavens opened for the next 3 days straight. It wasn't cold, just wet so we spent most time in the pool. The rain did bring out lots of Cane Toads from the nearby fields and apparently if you lick their backs you can hallucinate. We didn't try it!
Beachside Resort was not bad at all. Our room had everything that we needed and it was clean. The food at their restaurant was fantastic and we enjoyed a wide range of foods over the week. There just wasn't much to do at night except for our last night there when they had a singer on. We met this lovely Irish couple, Elaine and Ollie, and had a great time with them, as you can see by the picture!!
After a mixed start to Fiji we headed off to the Yasawas group of islands for 5 days at Manta Ray Island Resort. We had to take the Yasawas Flyer catamaran to the Naviti Group, which took about 3 hours.
The first day was overcast but from then on we had bright blue skies and very hot temperatures.
The snorkeling there was amazing. We thought that Tahiti and the Cooks were good but this place was unbelievable! We were snorkeling twice a day for two hours each time. Once again we saw a white tip reef shark and a sand ray. We went for a dive with the dive company there, Reef Safari, which was okay. We saw some beautiful corals of all shapes and sizes but to be honest we saw more when we went snorkeling. We had booked two dives with them but we felt that their safety standards weren't up to scratch so we left it at that. We even told them that we thought the dive wasn't that great and the visibility was crap. Pete, the guy who went with us, got a free dive because he had complained which ticked us off just a little because they didn't even offer us one.
Our room was a small hut-like structure that was right on the beach. There was a double bed inside and some shelves. The only thing that we didn't like was that there were no locks on any of the doors.
The main bure was great. There was a fantastic sunset deck from which some of the pictures you see were taken from. The cocktails and the food were pretty good too. When it was time to eat they beat on a drum that could be heard from anywhere on the island. Breakfast was at 8, lunch was at 1 and dinner was at 7. Lunch was the best meal of the day and dinner wasn't too bad either. (The only problem with dinner was that you couldn't see what you were putting on your plate!) There was an array of dishes and all the fresh veg, fruit and fish that you could want. We never went hungry!
After a few days we had our day pretty much planned out - breakfast, snorkeling, lunch, more snorkeling with a bit of kayaking, happy hour and then dinner.
On the Friday night the local villagers came and sung and danced for us. The women did theirs dances and then the men did theirs. The singing was really good and we both really enjoyed it because we hadn't seen much culture since being in Fiji. When they left some of the hotel staff asked if we wanted to try kava. We all sat around on a grass mat and drank this stuff. It was bloody awful! It looked like muddy water and tasted like it too! Fijians drink this almost every night and more so on special occasions. After that experience we thought that we wouldn't try it again. The staff at the resort were all from the local village and they couldn't do enough for you. They were all so happy and were always singing and loved to hear anybody else sing, so you know I had to! We sat around drinking kava and singing along to a guitar. (It wasn't the same as being at Hanrahan's though!)
We had decided that we were going to go on a village visit so we left the resort by boat and headed toward the village. We didn't know that it was Sunday and that we would be going to a church service so the lady that worked at the resort took us to her house and dressed us for church. Walking to the church we looked around at the houses, which were mostly one-room homes or tin shacks. Everyone we saw in the village was smiling and saying hello. As we went in the children were reciting their Sunday school homework and kept shushing us because we were talking. The choir came in from the outside and it was the most amazing noise that we had ever heard. An old lady even gave us her hymnbook to read along with the singing, which was nice.
We reluctantly left the island and had to spend one more night in Nadi before we flew to Auckland.
New Zealand will be our home for the next two and a half months and that's where we are now.We have spent 1 week with Rob and Mary and will be heading for the South Island on Monday.
Lots of sunsets photos at the top again....check them out!!
Jack is back and will be traveling with us to look after the sleepervan so keep a look out for him!!!

Which is why this "kid" sticks to off-road biking. Only a fool rides a bike on a major roadway and expects motorists to be patient and accommodating.

So no thanks, you can have your broken hips and collarbones....I'll stick with my car for transportation, and my off-road bike for exercise.
Oh, and and don't worry. I'll always yield to bikers on the roadway. We all have to stick together don't we?
From php.net:
It turned out that by combing through the access logs for static.php.net it was periodically serving up userprefs.js with the wrong content length and then reverting back to the right size after a few minutes. This is due to an rsync cron job. So the file was being modified locally and reverted. Google's crawler caught one of these small windows where the wrong file was being served, but of course, when we looked at it manually it looked fine. So more confusion.
I'm idly curious if Google even bothers to offer an apology.
I've seen the shuttle in person (piggybacked on a 747). It is fucking huge. I've not seen the ISS up close, but I understand the solar arrays are massive. Given that, was it just me or was the size scale off on the shuttle/ISS renderings in this movie? Especially when they were working near the bay of the shuttle just as the swarm of debris approached, as well as when they were in front of the ship peering in at the destruction and the dead crew. It all just seemed so small to me.
I'm thinking maybe this was a device used by the director in order to provide some sort of balance on-screen: Had actual scale been used, all you'd ever see was shuttle or ISS, with no space in the background.
So did I, and I rejected the Nest for the same reason you did. Instead, I purchased two of the CT-30s. Cloud is optional; I set up some perl scripts that do all the controlling via REST, as well as some cool logging that graphs my usage.

When the shit hits the fan, FLY THE AIRPLANE. You FLY THE AIRPLANE until it's no longer moving. Never stop FLYING THE AIRPLANE or you'll surely die.
Panic has no place in the cockpit when the shit is hitting the fan. He drilled this into me with endless engine-out drills, stalls, windows opening in flight, simulated flap jams, and even a spin recovery. He assured me that if I FLY THE AIRPLANE when things start to go downhill, there's a very good chance I'll survive.
Indeed he was right. I was his last student before he passed away from cancer. RIP, Red...
Actually, the *old* police state, just catching up with technology. I can't imagine a more awful place to live, where your every move is subject to surveillance and unlawful searches. What's worse is that New Yorkers actually vote these fascists in office.
Guess you get to lie in the bed you make after all. No sympathies here.
No explosions. No strippers. No guns.
Not that I don't like my GTA fix. But I also thoroughly enjoyed the Myst series as well. Just making an observation.
Watch this video of DARPA's Big Dog. Pay attention around the 0:33 mark where the guy walks over and kicks the hell out of the robot, which makes a nice recovery.
Raise your hand if, for an instant, you thought to yourself "Damn, that was fucked up, kicking it like that."

...but isn't man's disruption of the natural processes that keep the population in check a direct contributor to the world overpopulation problem? From a strictly scientific point of view, drastically altering the mortality rate of the world's population by decreasing it (and increasing the birth/death ration) can't be a good thing. Many of these people have lived generations in their current environment, so why does a first world country believe they have the right to disrupt nature in such a drastic way?
So a first world country solves the woodstove problem, thereby decreasing mortality rates. Are they prepared to then step in and deal with inadequate water supplies, increases in loss of arable lands, higher rates of infant mortality, and other side effects of overpopulation?
That will set you back to the tune of about $223,500 (enter some fake info for the details). Or it looks like you can lease 30 tuners for about $5,000/month.
Think I'll be sticking with my Moxi.
It's my understanding that voting is compulsory in AU. When you vote, must you mark your ballot?
Given that not everyone is interested in voting, would it not make sense to simply mark the ballot the easiest way possible (i.e., from the top)?

It's that time of the year again: when we drag ourselves to the shops in pursuit of the elusive perfect swimsuit.
If the idea of swimsuit shopping fills you with dread, we've compiled some tips to make the process slightly easier:
Higher cuts make legs look longer. Lots of women opt for shorts if they're self-conscious of their bottom halves, but this can make your legs look shorter.
Choose a swimsuit that has a pattern on any part of your body you want to draw attention to - and not on the parts you don't like. A dark bikini bottom with a floral top will draw the eye up.
Ruching and any other kind of detailing should be avoided on any part of your body you want to minimise.
Swimsuits with cutouts or rings on the side of the bottom will make your hips look slimmer.
Brush your hair and put on some makeup before you go shopping. A spray tan can make you look slimmer and is probably more representative of what you'll look like when it's time to put on your new swimsuit, anyway!
New retro high-waisted bikini bottoms are a good option for anyone who doesn't want to show off the stomach.
If you have a long, lean figure, V-necks or halters can help add definition.
Many styles are available in control fabrics that will suck your body in, in all the right places. Ezibuy is a good source of swimsuits with hidden control!
If you find a swimsuit that looks good but is hideously uncomfortable, don't buy it.
Look for good quality fabric. Anything that is too thin will go baggy as soon as you get it wet.
Triple-check for any transparency. There's nothing worse than looking down and seeing a bit too much on display.
Lining should be completely attached. Plastic detailing is more likely to break than metal ones, although metal can heat up quickly.
Sarongs or boyfriend shirts are a good option to cover up on the way to and from the beach - don't be tempted by a swimsuit with a skirt!

Bombers Defense …. Is it too Inexperienced?
Posted on 17 Aug 2010 by Jim Penner.
I've been thinking about this for a couple of days now. I really shouldn't be surprised at the 2-5 record of the 2010 Winnipeg Blue Bombers. We've got a rookie head coach with a couple of rookie offensive and defensive coordinators. On the defensive side of the ball we have only three regular players who have started games in the CFL for more than a year and a half. Let me explain a...

Most writers say they've had stories running around in their head since they can remember, but that wasn't the case for Brenda. She grew up thinking she didn't have a creative bone in her body. She considered herself "left-brained," with talents in science and mathematics, and even went to school for business.
It wasn't until she was 29 and married with three kids that she discovered writing and if not for a difficult situation that prompted her to find a way to make money from home, she might not have started even then.
Brenda was a loan officer for a mortgage company when she caught her in-home daycare provider drugging her children with cough medicines and Tylenol to get them to sleep while she was gone. They'd been waking up several times in the night and she couldn't figure out why. Except for the baby, they were too old for that. But once she found the medicine in her baby's bottle, she suspected the baby-sitter had been doing this for several months.
No longer able to trust someone else with her children's well-being, Brenda quit her job to stay home with them but her husband's business was failing and she needed to find some way to help him financially. That's when she decided to write a book.
It wasn't the "quick fix" the Novaks were hoping for. It took her five years to teach herself the craft and to finish her debut novel, Of Noble Birth, published in November 1999. But it introduced her to something she loves to do more than anything else. Shortly after she sold Of Noble Birth, she sold three books to Harlequin's Superromance line, the first of which, Expectations, came out in February 2000.
Now she has five children; three girls and two boys, and juggles her writing career with softball games and field trips, carpool runs and homework sessions, and trying to keep up with her active husband. Fortunately, her family is as involved in what she does as she is in their activities. Her husband or one of her daughters sometimes go to conferences with her, they put stamps on the postcards she sends to her mailing list when she has a new book come out, and they come to all her book signings.
Her oldest, Ashley, throws her backpack down when she gets home from school and immediately joins Brenda at her computer, wanting to hear the latest installment on her current work in progress. Ashley gives Brenda valuable feedback, and so does her husband, who hears the same pages when he comes home from work. Now, as a family, the Novaks look back on those hard times when Brenda was just starting out and are grateful that something so good came out of it.
Brenda loves to hear from fellow romance enthusiasts. You can contact her at P.O. Box 3781, Citrus Heights, CA, 95611 or via her web site at www.brendanovak.com.

Thread: Question on stocking a 29g
Question on stocking a 29g
As some of you already know I am in the process of setting up my first tank, a 29 gallon planted community, and I have been thinking about how to stock it. I have a list of fish i'd love to have, and would love soem feedback on my choices and on the best way to get to the fully stocked tank. I will add fish very slowly until i am fully stocked, and i am guessing it will take many months.
I love the idea of well populated aquarium, with many small, schooling fish moving about in groups. So, my wish list (for now) is as follows, in no particular order (feedback is welcome!):
- 6 Endler's livebearers. I would love to have this one, because it comes from my native Venezuela :-) I don't know the right number or male/female ratio. I read they reproduce easily and often, and I would not want to suddenly have myself a tank overrun with these (although I am guessing the fry would not survive long in a community tank). The males are smaller and colorful, so I think I would start with 4-6 males and no females, unless an all-male group is not advisable. If an all male group is not a good idea then I guess it would be 2 males and 5-6 females as I read this is the best ratio.
- 4 Pygmy Cories: This was suggested by Hardy85 and taurus and I really like them. I did not read anything about it requiring larger groups, so I am thinking 4.
- 8 Glowlight Danios. My daughter's choice :-)
- 8 Espe's Rasboras. They seem harder to find, so Harlequins would be the substitute.
- 8 Black Widow Tetras
I did some research and as far as I can tell, all these fish are compatible with each other and would do well in my water with pH of 7.5 and dH of 5-6 (The only exception is the tetra which would prefer slightly harder water). I know cories will spend most of their time at the bottom, and the rasboras towards the middle. Not sure about the others.
AqAdvisor says this is 99% stocking for my tank. Of course I won't do this right away, but over many months, which leads to my questions.
What is the best way to get there? Should I add only one species at a time, until that species is fully stocked, and only then move to the next one? The two hardiest seem to be Danios and Endler's livebearers, so I guess I should start with one of those two, and leave the others until my tank is more mature and stable. I know for Danios I need 6-8. Should i add them all at once? Or in two equal groups? (I am planning to do fishless cycling before I add any of these fish)
In short, what is the best way to go from an empty cycled tank to a stocked tank, in terms of the timing and order of additions?
well few things:
1. Good job going fishless cycle.
2. After your cycle is done you technically could add all the fish at once since your filter will be ready for it
3. I would recommend doing a school of the pygmy cories, say 10
4. For endlers, they do great in trios, (1m 2f) so any # of trios would be good
5. do you mean glofish or glolight? Two separate types of fish. I would recommend the glofish because they need a bit longer tank than the 29 just because they are fast swimmers
6. Out of the danios, rasboras, and tetras I'd say pick your two favorite. Keeping the # of schools to 4 I think would be best. just up some of the other #s
I'd vote:
6-9 Endlers (stick with same type)
8 Cory
10 Danios
10 Rasboras
Toss some driftwood with java fern and anubius tied to it, a floating plant. And these guys will be very happy

While it might nice in theory to have many little fish in your tank, you have to consider giving them adequate swimming space so they aren't bumping into each other - the more heavily stocked you are, the more stress that puts fish under.
The danios you are referring to are really "glo fish" - they are genetically altered to neon colors & are much more expensive than regular danios. They tend to occupy the top level of a tank and grow to about 1 1/2 inches a piece. The endlers would probably be nice. I wouldn't put black skirt tetras in a tank that size - they get fairly large and need a school of at least 6.
As long as you cycle the tank 1st, you can put a group of fish in all at once, but after that, I recommend you get a small tank (like 5-10gal) for quarantining & then add only a few at a time after that - like 3 or 4 to give the filter enough time to catch up to the ammonia production.

I also wanted to make the point that getting schooling fish doesn't mean they are going to school together all the time if that's what you want - fish that feel safe in a tank will roam all over - I have 6 neon tetras and they rarely swim as a school.
these guys.
I'd vote for:
10 Pygmy Cory
10 Danios
10 Rasboras
but Hardy's suggestion would work too.
075 gal - Smudge Spot Cories, Silvertip & Pristella Tetras, Scissortail & Red Tail Rasboras, Pearl Gourami, Black Kuhli Loaches, Whiptail Cats, Wild Caught BNP
Dual 29 gals - Diamond Tetras. Harlequin Rasboras, Bloodfin Tetras
10 Gal - Mr. Betta's Fishy Paradise
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass....it's about learning to dance in the rain"
Thanks Imma and Hardy for all the great info. I guess I had this vision of a tank full of beautifully coordinated schools of fish :-) I will do as you suggest -- no tetras, which will bring the schools down to 4, and slightly more of the others, specially the cories.
Any particular preference for the order in which these should be added? I'm guessing I should start with Endlers or Danios as they are the hardiest, so would not be as stressed by an immature tank. What about the others?
@Hardy: I just read your most recent journal (the number of tanks you discuss is dizzying! I'm struggling trying to set up just one!) and realized you already have some Endlers. Do they reproduce as readily as some places seem to suggest? I don't have enough knowledge to breed anything just yet, but if they do reproduce would the fry get eaten by the other fish? Or is there a chance some would survive? It would be cool to try to breed them... but much, much later! Would it be a problem to try to keep all males? I know males in some species can bully each other if there are not enough females... I also know that too few females is bad for these guys... so it would be all males, or some multiple of three in a 1:2 ratio.
The consensus seems to be for no Tetras... so, they are off the list. Thanks everyone for the great feedback!

My birthday is coming, another nice opportunity to feel old. I think that once you leave university, time is flying away. I have two spare days on Thursday and Friday, I will unusually spend the evenings with two of my best friends instead of spending them coding on GnomeMeeting. That won't prevent me from coding the rest of the day.
I'm currently spending half of my time on OPAL, and the rest on GnomeMeeting itself. I have fixed a bug particularly hard to find this week-end and I was able to get my first SIP call today with GnomeMeeting. I'm also working on GnomeMeeting 1.2. It has been ready for a long time, but I will need to work on the manual and FAQ now, and integrate a new patch for ZeroConf integration. Imagine being in a meeting and being able to detect the GnomeMeeting users in your neighbourhood, that will be possible thanks to two french hackers who contributed a patch.
Julien has also contributed DBUS support to GnomeMeeting and has started working on a plugin for GAIM. That should allow total audio/video interaction with MSN Messenger in the near future, but it is also a nice new feature allowing to start videoconferences for GAIM users communicating with other GAIM users. However, the GAIM developers don't seem motivated at all to help him progressing.
Congrats to Novell for the release!

Dang, that is just sucky, you were in a hasbro commercial, and you paid to do it, and these webmasters got to see that stuff early, for free, AND get a free figure which the fan club re-sold for 12 bucks!

"I assume my reputation for arrogant presumption precedes me"-Area man
Hey Jay, I flew, so this waste of a trip cost me about $1000. I was hoping to get more figures to bring back for people who could not go, but I could not handle standing in that line again. In retrospect, I would gladly pay a scalper $100 dollars for it. Way cheapper and a lot less time spent standing in line. It was like Disney land in hell. We were jocking in line that we were basically paying to stand in line.
I wrote the fan club to let them know what happened and asked them to help fix the situation. They probably won't but we'll see.
Also, did you guys hear that the new waves of collection I and II are out in many states and in England, so we should be seeing them at any time now.
I talked to the Hasbro reps while I was visiting hell and they told me that the figures that we saw on the poster should all be available through summers end, and that there were several more on the way. They also said that they threw in the rebel soldier disguised as a biker scout in the latest fan choice as kind of a joke since people are always asking for obsure figures. They decided that this was the most obscure of them all.
Ephant Mon (however you spell his name) is huge, I don't know how they are going to get him on a regular card. I thought for sure that he would be a deluxe figure, but they said he was part of the basic collection.
I also was able to buy a vinyl version of TPM OST. To get it, you had to buy all four of the E-II CD's. I now have an extra of the Yoda cover if anybody is intrested in buying or trading for it.
Wal-mart off Abeline has several Yodas, Hangar Duel Anakins, Taun We, and Luminara. I only saw two Red guards, I bought one and handed the other to another man who was looking through the pegs. They also did not have any Count Dooku.
Has anyone had any luck at the Castle Rock, Parker Wal-Marts and/or the Park Meadows TRU? I'm heading back home to Colorado this week from college in LA (where out here everyone is still searching for Dookus, Luminaras, and Royal Guards). And was hoping to hit up some of the old haunts.
As of a few days ago there wasn't much at TRU in Park Meadows...or Target and Walmart in Castle Rock.

I work in Park Meadows so I hit up the TRU there a lot. They havn't had anything special. Just stuff that everybody has.
Hey ces, I was at Wal-Mart on Abeline today as well. I picked up a Red Clonetrooper and a Senator Jar Jar. I missed the Yodas by like 2 minuets. A Mom snatched up ALL the ones they had left. I also noticed there were no Dookus. I'm glad that the Royal Guard is showing up in stores in our area now.
Have any of you guys picked up the TIE Bomber yet. I have the Snowspeeder already. I chatted with a couple of other casual Star Wars collectors and they also have not found it.
"Maybe I can help you. I am Boba Fett. The ship you seek is nearby." -Boba Fett
Oops! Dopy me! I went into TRU at Park Meadows and found TONS of Yoda, Count Dooku, Zam Wessel and Clonetroopers. There had to be about 30 or so Dookus and Yodas. It was pretty cool seeing them all there. There were no Mace Windus though. We won't be too far behind.
"Maybe I can help you. I am Boba Fett. The ship you seek is nearby." -Boba Fett
Jayspawn- no way!!! They'll probably be completely gone by the time I get home this weekend from California. But at least I know that the TRU Park Meadows is getting them in mass quantities!
Don't worry. Yes they will probably be gone but they will start showing up soon enought for everyone else.
"Maybe I can help you. I am Boba Fett. The ship you seek is nearby." -Boba Fett
I have only seen one Tie Bomber, and that was on the 23. They are suppose to be packed in the same case as the snow speeders. They must just get picked up immediately or the store workers must grab them. I cannot believe that there are 37 figures available now.

I like a lot of Chicago's songs. While I'm known to be a mostly heavy metal kind of guy, Chicago had some great hits and Peter Cetera's voice was phenomenal.
I Remember The Feeling
Stay The Night
Hard To Say I'm Sorry

Prima Donna

I think I enjoyed all these songs a lot more before I became a cynical misogynist. But it's a good insight into "Tycho: The Early Years."
Then I grew smarter than Tom Leykis.

Idebenone is a synthetic, organic compound that forms part of the quinone family. It was initially produced to treat cognitive conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease. Further investigations have indicated that idebenone may be beneficial in the treatment of various neuromuscular diseases. Idebenone possesses characteristics that enhance mood and protect the heart. Due to its similarities to Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), idebenone is used as an ingredient in anti-aging and anti-wrinkle skin products.
Idebenone is a synthetic analog of ubiquinone, otherwise known as Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 appears naturally in the body, whereas idebenone has to be produced via a chemical route. Although they have many similarities, idebenone has certain properties that are superior to CoQ10. For example, idebenone dissolves in water, while CoQ10 is insoluble, making idebenone a more versatile ingredient. Also, the molecule size of idebenone is 60% smaller then CoQ10, ensuring that idebenone penetrates more easily in to the skin. In addition, idebenone's properties and cellular distribution differ from CoQ10, making idebenone more effective at protecting and healing cells that have been damaged by irregular blood flow.
When it comes to acting as an antioxidant, some studies have suggested that idebenone is stronger than CoQ10. This stems from idebenone's ability to inhibit the action of free radicals in low oxygen environments. This contrasts with the tendency of CoQ10 to generate harmful free radicals when oxygen levels drop, for example when an individual is experiencing a stroke, heart attack, or circulatory problems.
Like its counterpart CoQ10, topical application of idebenone is highly effective in reducing wrinkles and fine lines, improving skin tone and texture, and healing photodamage. For this reason, it is included as an ingredient in premium anti-aging skin creams, serums, and lotions. Idebenone improves the youthful appearance of skin by protecting it against the harmful effects of free radicals and stimulating the production of new skin cells.
Idebenone is classified as a nutritional supplement by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Idebenone is available as an oral supplement on its own or in combination with other complementary nutrients.
Although idebenone was initially produced as a drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, clinical trials have given a mixed picture in terms of idebenone's success in this area. As a result, idebenone is no longer used as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease in some countries, such as Japan. However, idebenone is still given to Alzheimer's patients in some European countries.
Clinical trials have revealed that idebenone is a useful treatment for Friedreich's ataxia, which is a rare, hereditary condition. The cause of Friedreich's ataxia is a lack of a protein known as frataxin. This protein plays a key role in the regulation of iron in the blood. A lack of frataxin leads to enlargement of the heart (cardiac hypertrophy), oxidative damage to the cells, and neurological issues. Idebenone protects the heart from damage caused by excessive levels of iron in the blood. It may also enhance neurological function, although the clinical tests in this area have been less conclusive.
Idebenone is also effective in the treatment of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (also known as Leber's disease). This hereditary condition usually affects both eyes and can lead to a loss of vision.
When taken orally, idebenone stimulates the production of serotonin in the brain, leading to a feeling of improved wellbeing and a more regular sleep pattern. Accordingly, oral supplements of idebenone can be taken as mood enhancers. This is particularly useful for individuals who do not consume sufficient levels of L-tryptophan in their diets.
Because it has been extensively tested in drug trials for Alzheimer's disease, Friedreich's ataxia, Leber's disease, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, idebenone is classified as safe for use by most people. However, a few individuals may experience side effects, including stomach problems, nausea, anxiety, and insomnia when taking idebenone. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid taking idebenone as a supplement because its effects during pregnancy and breastfeeding have not been rigorously tested.

A few weeks ago there was a fairly long discussion of the subject. Let me know if you can't find the thread.
What is the purpose of D3 in your circuit? You've drawn it as a diac, but diacs are normally used in phase shift dimmers and speed controllers, in conjunction with a variable resistor and a capacitor. The idea is that at a certain voltage, the diac breaks down and discharges the capacitor into the gate of the triac. I can't see that it serves any useful purpose in the circuit you have drawn.
The rest of the circuit looks OK to me. As the load is resistive, you could use a zero crossing opto triac such as MOC3042 instead of a random fire one, which would create less mains borne interference. But unless the heating element takes a lot of power, it's probably not necessary.
Yes, D3 is clearly redundant, since thats an optical diac in the coupler.Is there any reason you opted to build your own versus use a Solid State Relay?You can get a ready to use 10 AMP SSR from MPJA http://www.mpja.com/, for example, for as little as $7.95.

It was a weak episode and the hour dragged. Too long for the subject matter of the episode.
Driving into the Lake was completely absurd.
Overall I give it a D.
This may be the early beginnings of what happened last year. First several episodes were weak and they finished strong.
I thought the episode was mediocre at best; easily one of my least favorite episodes of the series.
Creed was one of the very few bright spots.
Hopefully the show bounces back next week.
Well, Cae, you're definitely right about the polarization. For the record, I actually enjoyed this episode more than last week's episode.
To prove his point about technology.Quote:

The hour dragged indeed - this is a 30 minute show, and I've never been more convinced of that than after watching the second 60 minute episode. Not nearly enough funny for 60 minutes.
Best part: When Michael said he couldnt print new pictures becaue the printer was out of ink and the camera briefly panned to Creed........
Okay guys, it was definitely a different vibed episode but I still liked it...and the three or four times I've rewatched it, it keeps getting better and better. :)
I disagree on last year, I thought Gay Witch Hunt was a solid opener and The Convention was one of the best episodes ever. :)
Still, you're saying that this wasn't funny enough for an hour, and Vader said that above as well, so I know what you mean. I disagree though, but I see where you're coming from. :)
I guess it's more fair for me to say that I take The Office best in 30 minute installments - that way I can accept some of the blame. ;)
Still, I can't help but feel these first two season 4 eps just don't rate among the best episodes of the series. The pace has to pick up.

Washington Heights
Extending from 155th Street to Dyckman Street, Washington Heights is home to some of the most interesting geographic features in Manhattan.
The neighborhood's lofty name is derived from the fact that—at 256 feet above sea level—it is situated at the highest point in Manhattan. Because of its steep inclines, numerous "step" streets (one of which has 130 stairs) connect one street to the next.
The population of Washington Heights is over 150,000.

As with all things in the universe, not everything comes out good in the end. I'm sure that every comic collector has been burned, perhaps big time, on a book or two (or 800,000). What wastes of time have you encountered? What times could you have used a $20 bill as tissue and received a better deal? Were you ever pressured into a purchase you later regretted?
My goofs:
* The Realm #1 (Back in the day of Small Press, B&W comics it was easy to think "this will skyrocket in value!" and splurge on a potential winner. I shelled out $40 for this one, which was a kinda cool story [Dungeons & Dragons-type fantasy], but now it doesn't even exist anymore, I think)
* The Pit (I bought multiple copies of this New Universe tie-in book. Why? It destroys Pittsburgh, PA! :eek: )
* The entire run (minus one in the #20s) of the ALF series, plus Annuals, Specials, and Digest size ('Nuff said)
* Green Arrow: Longbow Hunters (Back when the 'cool' books came in 'Dark Knight' format [like a graphic novel now], this was supposedly the best story like ever and all. Uh, no.)
* Star Wars #68 (The Boba Fett 'origin issue.' Wow. Some story, and for $20, I shoulda waited)
Well? Have I given you enough to talk about?

The market seems to be taking bad jobs news as good news about just how quickly the Fed will reduce economic stimulus.
Monthly non-farm payrolls show U.S. employers added 169,000 jobs in August, but July's figure was slashed to 104,000 jobs, and that shows the labor market isn't gaining strength. The unemployment rate fell to 7.278%, but more people dropped out of the workforce.
Economists were expecting 175,000 new jobs created, up from 162,000 jobs added in July, and a static unemployment rate of 7.4%. The number of people in the category "employed part-time for economic reasons" fell by 334,000, and people in the "marginally attached" category fell by 219,000.
Gold prices rose by $10, nearly a point, to $1,382.70. Oil prices are also higher, up more than 1% to $109.49 per barrel for the U.S. benchmark.
"It is a weaker economy as evidenced by today's report," Pimco bond investor Bill Gross said on Bloomberg Radio. He says that while the Federal Reserve is committed to reducing economic stimulus measures, he expects the Fed will conduct "taper-light," with about $10 billion in tapering, "mainly on the Treasury side versus mortgages."
See "Bill Gross More Wary of Markets," authored by Gross and published Thursday on Barrons.com. (subscription required.)
Among stocks, Timken (TKR) is up 5% premarket after agreeing to split its business in two. Yelp (YELP) is up 4%; KornFerry International (KFY) reported earnings that beat estimates and shares are up nearly 5%. But Smith and Wesson (SWHC) shares are lower after the gun maker reported results that disappointed.
Reuters is reporting that Chicago Fed President Charles Evans is reticent about a September tapering effort, but said this morning:
"I do expect, however, that the outlook will materialize in such a way that we'd likely reduce the (asset purchase) rate starting later this year and subsequently wind down these purchases over a couple of stages … For me, to start the wind-down, it will be best to have confidence that the incoming data show that economic growth gained traction during the third quarter of this year and that the transitory factors that we think have held down inflation really do turn out to be transitory."

'Echo of the Object' is an exhibition by the artists and Ball State faculty members: Hannah Barnes, Jennifer Halvorson, David Hannon, and Jacinda Russell. This exhibition will bring together several series of works in drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture. Each body of work explores how objects of symbolic or personal significance play a role in the construction of memory, identity, and meaning. The metaphor of containment is a consistent theme in each artist's work, both in the use of objects whose literal function is to contain (bags, jars, boxes), and also in the suggestion that seemingly insignificant objects have a certain capacity to become filled with meaning. Time, humor, absurdity, the domestic, and the everyday are additional themes this exhibition will seek to explore.

"The Rapid Results Method" topic of Binghamton Community Lab
BINGHAMTON, NY – The Binghamton Community Lab will host a mixer and discussion titled, "The Rapid Results Method: How Your Business or Other Group can Produce Amazing Results in 100 Days" at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17, at the Lost Dog Café Violet Room, 222 Water Street in Binghamton. This event is free and open to the public. The Rapid Results Method was invented by a business consulting expert Robert Schaffer, who noticed the results that people achieve in emergency situations − and the elation that comes with it. Schaffer's method unleashes this "zest" in normal situations by creating small groups and charging them with ambitious goals that must be accomplished in a short time. These "100-day cycles" can be employed repeatedly to produce short-term gains and meet long-term strategic goals.
The Rapid Results method has been adopted by major corporation and is also being used by developing nations to address issues such as child malnutrition and corruption. Distinguished Binghamton University Professor David Sloan Wilson will provide an overview of the method and how it can be used by various groups in Binghamton, including businesses, government, Binghamton University, SUNY Broome and other volunteer organizations.
Sloan Wilson uses evolutionary theory to explain all aspects of humanity in addition to the rest of life, as he recounts for a general audience in Evolution for Everyone: How Darwin's Theory Can Change the Way We Think About Our Lives (Bantam 2007). He is a distinguished professor of biology and anthropology at Binghamton University who publishes in anthropology, psychology and philosophy journals, in addition to his mainstream biological research. He is also found of the Binghamton Neighborhood Project and director of EvoS, the evolutionary studies program at Binghamton University that uses evolutionary theory as a common language for the unification of knowledge.
The Binghamton Community Lab is a gathering place for citizen investigators to create and support improvements that will grow a healthier, wealthier and strong Binghamton region. The series, held on the third Tuesday of each month, is facilitated by Sloan Wilson and David Currie, director of the Binghamton Regional Sustainability Coalition.

New Tank Setup
I have had my fish, 2 Blood Parrots and 2 Jack Dempseys since August 2012. They Have been doing very well. Recently we moved, I bought a brand new 50 gallon tank and gravel but kept the same decor. I set the tank up at our new place 3 days before I brought the fish here, I decholorinated the tank and added all the things nessecary for them to live. I know the whole New Tank Syndrome has to occour and run its course for 6 weeks. But my water is FILTHY!!! Its almost Brown its soooo dirty. I need to know if I have done something wrong. Can I takeout 25-50% of my water and replace it, or should I wait the 2 weeks out? I have a PH test kit and my PH is good at 7.0 but I dont have a Ammonia test kit. The solution I use for my PH is aslo good for removeing, CHolrine, Chloramine and Ammonia. I have recently added some just in case my ammonia was high. What should I do?Should I do the water change or wait it out?
Just a few questions: do you have a filter? Did you clean the filter recently and how do you clean the filter if you have one. I cannot really judge whether your tank has become uncycled but alone the dirty water warrants a good size water change.

Dodge Nitro ConceptPosted in Project Vehicles on February 1, 2005 Comment (0)
In an effort to round out its sport-utility lineup, Dodge previewed its Nitro concept at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show. Many believe this is a close representation of the rumored Liberty-based SUV coming to Dodge showrooms within the next year. The Nitro shares key components with the Liberty, including its short/long arm front suspension, five-link solid rear axle, and its 3.7L SOHC V-6. However, the 108.3-inch wheelbase of the Nitro is exactly 4 inches longer than the Liberty, and its overall length is 4.4 inches longer than its Jeep kin. Other key measurements are incrementally larger than the Liberty, as well.
In terms of brand positioning, it's clear that Dodge is going after the more "lifestyle"-oriented customer rather than the harder-core off-road clientele of Jeep. The concept vehicle was shod with 20-inch wheels, and although "full-time all-wheel drive" was touted as a key feature, there was no explicit mention of low-range in the initial press materials.
Since this story was originally written, Dodge has put the Nitro into full-scale production. The 20-inch wheels from the prototype survived the transition. The trucklet also features DCX's new 4.0L 24-valve V-6 cranking out a respectable 260 horsepower and 265 lb./ft. of torque.
