Training Steelhead to take dry flies...?
On another forum a member was questioning whether or not you could take summer runs on a dry fly; there were some who stated it was possible for natives but nearly impossible for hatchery fish. Why?
I knew a farmer who trained his dairy cows to only crap in the barn's gutters. I've known people who taught their cat to use the toilet, somewhat human style. Aside from the usual, sit, stay, roll-over; I've trained my rotty to fetch and deliver items wherever I direct. Training...
Is it possible to train the hatchery fish to take surface offerings? You know, conditioned response to variously colored, floating pellets? Any biologist/behaviorists want to take this question on?
I caught hatchery summer runs on dries all the time when I lived out there, a lot of guys did. Where have you been fishing?
They already are trained - smolts eat bugs all the time. No training necessary, mother nature does a damn good job. No human intervention needed.
I've had more than my share of fun on the
upper Rogue using Waller Walker, Bombers, etc., as 'wakers' on the surface. Slower/flat water about 3-4 foot deep.
Only recommendation is to take a pee first; the 'take'will make you loose your water. Don't forget to have at least a foot of line to drop when the fish goes for the fly. Drop the line or you'll have 'short strikes' more often than not.
I'll agree with Juro, they already know how! While not as programmed as their superior native cousins. Hatchery fish will without question take dry, skated, or hitched fly.
I know that native steelhead will often take a properly presented hitched or skated fly. I have not been assured that the same holds for hatchery fish "to the same degree". As to the water I fish, my most recent outings have been on the NF Stilly using sinktips and weighted flies - the rivers have been running very high and off-colored. I envision a time within the next two weeks when I can go to dries on this system. I REALLY like fishing the dry fly!
As my original post indicated, there is some disagreement with those I have spoken with on whether hatchery fish will take surface presentations *well*; even those most capable have hinted at some reluctance on the part of these hatchery fish. Yeah, they tell me they take yet hedge their narrative with such qualifiers as "reluctance", "not to well", etc.
So I assume the buggers need a change in dining habits at the hatchery; more food at the surface and less food that sinks. Conditioned response... I note some of da Vinci's ideas didn't fly, either.
What follows is only my read on things. First off, hatchery fish will take surface flies. I fish the Snake and the Grand Ronde every fall and that is all I fish there. I have never tried it but according to some of those who have, fishing a deeply sunk fly on these rivers in October will not get you much action. On the westside of the state though, I disagree.
From my experiences, the light sinktip will be often more productive. This is not to say that hatchery fish won't come up because they will and they do. Just not to as great a degree as their east of the Cascade cousins.
The old rule of thumb for switching to a floater was always 55 degrees. If memory serves me, that was a RHB observation. I would tend to believe that if you wait that long, you will be missing some topwater action. I know one local guide who fished a floater last year on June 1st. It would not have been my choice with 44 degree water but he did it. Of course, one of our board members here took a fine hatchery buck out of his back pocket fishing a tip too. :hehe:
For my own fishing, I usually (in a normal water flow year) switch to a floater around the fourth of July. After about two weeks of enjoying casting a dry line, I will switch off with a Type III tip until we are into the middle of August. Often I will fish a run dry and then go back with the type III. From then until the mid-October, I stick with the floater.
Finally, as to training hatchery fish to come up more. There is some talk about training them to come up less. The problem is on the Columbia syatem where there is massive smolt predation by birds. The vast majority of this predation is against hatchery fish. (Much more by percentage than their portion of the run.) The thinking is the hatchery smolts are used to only being fed on the surface by pellet broadcasters so they are migrating to the sea in the top of the water column. Their wild cousins are used to both surface and sub-surface feeding so they stay deeper in the water column and thus avoid the birds.

In my experience the willingness of a summer steelhead to come to a surface fly is less dependent on whether they are hatchery or wild but rather the fish's condition. The biggest key is whether the fish or traveling or not. In my fishing in the Puget Sound region when I could find hatchery fish that were still traveling upstream the seem to come readily to the surface. The fish that have podded up in up-river holding pools were difficult to move. However those up-river fish would come to the surface after they were "stirred up" after the first fall rains. Have had excellent fall (late September/October) fishing with waking caddis on hatchery fish on Stilli, Sky and Snoqualmie. The fishing was usually for only a day or two on the drop following a good river rise which seem to move the fish around. Once the fish settled down they seemed to go stale again; at least for surface activity.
Believe whether the fish are moving or not explains much of why the hatchery fish on the East-side of Cascades seem to come to the surface better. In the Puget Sound area by the time the rivers clear and drop to good waking conditions (mid-July?) most of the hatchery fish are all ready in up river areas and not moving much. However the wild fish (example the wonderful Deer Creek fish) are just starting to arrive in good numbers.
Another factor is whether the hatchery fish are being pressured or not. Whenever I could find summer steelhead (hatchey or wild) that have not been fished much good fishing was found. The fish in runs or glides (less than 6 feet deep is key) would respond to surface methods the best. Unfortunately it is getting pretty difficult to find such fish.
Just my observations.
Tight lines
Well I guess that I will add something to this thread. I have caught fish on Drys such as a Stimulator, Black Humpy,Red Ant.
I would have added more,but you've got to catch more to put it in here. I am usually fishing for small fish but when they hit I am usually ready. Most of my fish have been in the head waters of the Skykomish. Lots of water up there that doesn't get any pressure. Jim S.
Good to see you over here on Flytalk. Welcome to the baord.
For mid-summer fish, a factor in addition to some of the great info posted by Sinktip and Smalma and others is time of day. For instance, I could go to a hatchery stack pool and skate up a fish or two consistently between dawn and 7:30-8am -or- while the ranger is threatening to lock the gates to the park at dusk but be floggin' it all day long and not raise an eyebrow on the fish. But none of that matters...
The most important comparison should not be made in terms of fishing, but the fish themselves. Hatchery steelhead are raised in concrete sloughs, fed artificial pellet food, effectively all of their natural juvenile knowledge is replaced with a manufactured mentality. It's a miracle of nature that they can overcome that void and survive to become adults. We should not regard hatchery fish (takers or non takers) as some kind of human success, it's survival in spite of human manipulation - all credit belongs to the wily steelhead itself.
Every hatchery steelhead is just a replacement for the real fish that the river had produced through the milennia, working hard to cultivate a form that had been refined to be perfect for that particular drainage. Nature is the perfect cultivator, humans really suck at it. All we're doing is isolating genetic traits to meet our one-sided needs. The fact that we are perpetuating fish that have no knowledge of digging redds (bonked and stripped), no adolescent knowledge of ways of the stream, in fact smolt swim quickly toward footsteps at hatcheries without feeding machines.
Sorry to digress, but it dawned on me that we are comparing hatchery fish to native fish in terms of sporting value, and it struck me as petty and wrong.

Dear Guitar Hero: Jeff Beck
Your latest DVD, Performing this Week…Live at Ronnie Scott's, features a set list that spans your entire career. Does each of those songs have a special meaning for you? —Irene Coco
When I first went out with the band with Tal [Wilkenfeld] and Vinnie [Colaiuta], we were short of new material to play, so I thought, Why not do a "quicky" trip back through time, and put some of the early stuff in there? Albeit without Rod [Stewart]. We did "People Get Ready" and stuff like that. I think it added up to quite a good journey back through history, so anyone that hadn't seen me got a snapshot of what was going on back in '66 and '68. As opposed to bombarding people with brand-new, avant-garde techno, I thought it would be better to establish a foundation for people to hear and it seemed to work.
Two of the songs at the start of the set, [John McLaughlin's] "Eternity's Breath" [from 1975's Visions of the Emerald Beyond] and [Billy Cobham's] "Stratus" [from 1973's Spectrum], I played because I want people to realize that music was around, plus it's still fun to play. I'm just a messenger for John on those songs, because I want people to listen to him. If people enjoy my version of it, then my job is done. John is so far ahead of his time—he really is. He's not half as well known as I'd like him to be. Those songs are played with the most heartfelt respect. Nowadays, to really sort out the men from the boys, John plays mostly acoustic, which cannot be bluffed.
Billy Cobham's Spectrum album gave life to me at the time, on top of the Mahavishnu records featuring [keyboardist] Jan Hammer. It represented a whole area that was as exciting to me as when I first heard "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley. They were inspirational to me to the point that I started to adopt that type of music. Tommy Bolin's guitar playing on Spectrum is fantastic. What a sad loss; he was on the tour when I was out with Jan in 1976, and Tommy died after the first night of the tour in Miami. I heard the news the next morning.
You are currently on tour with fellow British guitar great Eric Clapton. As the guy that replaced Eric in the Yardbirds, was there ever any animosity or competitiveness between the two of you? —Hilary Franceschi
Playing on this tour with Eric has been a very happy turn of events. First of all, I think he actually likes me after all these years, which is heart-warming. I didn't realize he detested me quite so badly until he revealed that recently in Rolling Stone. [laughs] He said we were enemies, but that was more on his side. I was subservient to him when I joined the Yardbirds, because he was such a big "face" there. But when I developed my own wacky style with the Yardbirds albums, I didn't feel in any way that I was encroaching on his patch at all, nor have I ever since then, along with when [producer] George Martin came along for Blow by Blow and Wired. George gave me the confidence to play on an instrumental album, and at that point I was absolutely cleared from any kind of "direct" challenge to what Eric was doing, or anyone else for that matter, in terms of clashing styles. And yet, I think Eric wanted to be the guy associated with the guitar, which he subsequently became. You stop anybody on any street, around the world, and they know who Eric Clapton is. They don't know who I am! But we're going to change that, aren't we? [laughs]
You've always played with a wonderful type of aggression, throwing wild sounds at the audience in a way that says, "Deal with this!" Where does that attitude come from? —Angelo Barth
It's like a tantrum. Those things are outbursts, like exactly what I wanted to do to the teachers at school. It's a bottled-up frustration that manifests itself in those outbursts, as well as a reflection of my life and my reaction to the difficulties of it. Singers are like that when they start screaming, like Screaming Jay Hawkins [Beck covers Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" on Emotion & Commotion]: One minute he's singing perfectly normally, and then all of a sudden he bursts into rage. Love it.
I like an element of chaos in music. That feeling is the best thing ever, as long as you don't have too much of it. It's got to be in balance. I just saw Cirque du Soleil, and it struck me as complete organized chaos. And then there was this simple movement in the middle of the show, which was a comedy, and I thought, What a great parallel between the way that I think and the way this circus is happening. It had a special meaning for me, aside from the spectacle of it all. When I came away from it, I thought, If I could turn that into music, it's not far away from what my ultimate goal would be, which is to delight people with chaos and beauty at the same time.

- Thick egg noodles - 2 cup
- Soy Sauce - 2 tbsp
- Garlic - 1 pod crushed
- Dry sherry or white wine- 1 tbsp
- Rice Vinegar - 1 tsp
- Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp
- Brown sugar - 1 tsp
In a large pot boil about 3 cups of water and add the dry noodles and cook for about 3 minutes(see instructions on the noodles package for exact time required) to make a soft noodle. Drain the water from the noodles. In a small bowl mix together soy sauce, garlic, sherry, sugar and vinegar and keep it aside. Heat a wok to high heat and add the oil, when the oil almost smokes add the noodles and fry it. Keep moving the noodles with out breaking it for about a minute. Add the soy sauce mixture to the noodles and toss it so that the soy sauce mixture goes to the noodle evenly. Cooks for one more minute to finish.
Chicken with Broccoli
Chicken Breast - 1/2 cup , Boneless and skinless thinly sliced
Broccoli florets - 1 cup
Corn starch - 2 tbsp
Soy sauce - 1 tbsp
Rice Vinegar - 1 tsp
Cooking wine - 1 tbsp
Water - 1/2 cup
Garlic - 3 pods crushed
Brown sugar - 1/2 tsp
Vegetable oil
Mix the chicken pieces with 1 tsp of soy sauce and 1 tsp of corn starch and keep it aside for 20 minutes. To prepare the sauce - Boil 1/2 cup of water and addthe remaining soy sauce, wine, 1 pod of garlic and brown sugar and mix together.Mix the remaining corn starch with 1 tbsp of water to a thick paste. Add the cornstarch mixture to the boiling water slowly and keep stirring. Stop adding cornstarch when the mixture turns to a thick sauce. Heat at low temperature for few more minutes and keep it aside.
Heat up a hot wok to high heat and add about 1 tsp of oil and turn the wok to spread it around. Add 1 crushed pod of garlic, heat for few seconds and add the chicken slices and cook the chicken pieces(Main reason for success here is to use a sizzling hot wok and not to have any water in the chicken, if you wash the chicken dry it completely with kitchen paper ) by stirring around. Keep the chicken aside.Heat the wok again and add another tsp of oil, add 1crushed garlic pod and the broccoli florets. Stir around and add 1 tbsp of water or wine and cover the broccoli and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft. Keep stirring in between and add more water if required (Note that Broccoli is not cooked in water, but in steam as the water turns to steam on the wok, so remember not to add excess water and keep the wok a high heat). Add the chicken back to the Broccoli and mix together, reduce the heat to warm and add the sauce and mix together.

Well-known local journalist Kevin Kelly was in provincial court in St. John's this morning to face a charge of unlawfully luring a child under 16 by means of a computer.
Kelly, 41, a senior editor with The Herald magazine, had the case set over to Jan. 14 at which time he is expected to have a lawyer. He was represented today in court by duty counsel.
Kelly is not in custody.
While police would not release details about the case, The Telegram has learned the charge was laid a result of Kelly reportedly sending inappropriate messages to a teenage girl on Facebook.
He was said to have been sending the messages over a five-week period. A complaint was formally made to police last January.
Kelly is, perhaps, best known among the local music community as he regularly covers the entertainment beat.
He is also a former board member of Music NL and has been named Music NL's media person of the year on several occasions.
Originally from Marystown, Kelly worked as a researcher in the House of Assembly — a government role while the Liberal Party was in power, and was a DJ for CHMR-FM, Memorial University's radio station.
Kelly is also a past judge for Miss Teen Newfoundland.
This is a corrected version.

In 1987, an amendment to the federal Clean Water Act required implementation of a two–phase, comprehensive national program to address storm water runoff.
Phase I focused on large construction sites, 11 categories of industrial facilities, and major metropolitan municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). Phase II is the next evolutionary step in an effort to preserve, protect and improve water resources impacted by storm water runoff. The program has broadened to include smaller construction sites and small municipalities (populations of less than 100,000) that were temporarily exempted based on their industrial activity. Phase II is designed to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality, by placing control on runoff that is the most likely to cause continued environmental damage.Storm water regulations are part of the National Pollutants Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program which is mandated to states under the Clean Water Act and administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA delegated permitting authority for Minnesota's NPDES program to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and North Dakota's program to the North Dakota Department of Health. The three permit types—construction, industrial, and MS4— have distinct requirements.

Bloodstain Lane Urges You to Support Kickboxing
- Published in Kickboxing
We've been preaching this for a while now; that kickboxing is one of the greatest sports in the world and that it needs a bigger following in the United States. No, it deserves a bigger following in the United States. Any sport as exciting as kickboxing deserves a wider audience and the fighters, promoters and sponsors who work hard all do so for a reason; passion. That is all that you can ask for, and that is what kickboxing delivers.
Our good friend Bloodstain Lane agrees and his latest video is just that; he urges everyone to support the kickboxing world and talks about the upcoming return of Mark Miller as well.

Best Coffees 8/15/11
Fresh, brewed coffee - many of us can't start the day without it.
"If I don't have my cup in the morning, I can be a little cranky."
"I usually like a regular breakfast blend or something dark roast."
"I like Colombian coffee. "
Consumer Reports tested 23 coffees, primarily Colombian. Included - old standards like Chock Full o'Nuts and Folgers, and coffeehouse fare like Starbucks and Peet's. Testers also looked at celebrity coffees from Paula Deen and Wolfgang Puck. To test, Consumer Reports enlisted the help of trained coffee experts. They spent weeks sniffing, slurping, and tasting the coffees.396200
"We taste the coffees black so that we can really taste the flavor. We look for defects such as under ripe or excessively bitter notes, for example," says Erin Gudeux of Consumer Reports.
Consumer Reports also tested K-cups - made for single-cup coffeemakers - from Folgers, Wolfgang Puck, and Timothy's.
"These would probably be best with milk and sugar to mask the off-notes. And they'll cost you significantly more than most coffees by the pound," says Gudeux.
However, testers did find two very good Colombian coffees to recommend - Colombian Supremo Medium Roast from Gloria Jean's and Newman's Own Organics Colombian Especial Medium Roast. Both have nutty and fruity notes and go for about 13 dollars a pound.
If you prefer decaf, testers named three good. The highest rated - New England Coffee Decaffeinated Colombian costs a little more than nine dollars a pound.

Anybody else seen Vox occasionally switch back to the default battery for a few minutes when charging?
EDIT: You can also use this tweak to fix the Live Battery Indicator bug that keeps it from staying in the far right corner of the status bar. Here's how, for anyone who wants to know:
1. Download Vox
2. Open iFunbox
3. Go to /var/stash/Themes.xxxxxx/LBI Hollowed battery with percentage.theme
4. Copy all the images
5. Go to /Library/Application Support/Vox/Contents/Resources
6. Delete all the files there (might want to back them all up first)
7. Paste all the files you copied from the theme.
8. Uninstall Live Battery Indicator
9. Respring
Yes, I know this would be easier theming it with Winterboard instead but I couldn't get it working, so I think you have to do it the hard way.

Cornersville-Blythe News, September 7, 2012
By Martha Hardy
Happy Labor Day to one and all. Here is hoping that all my friends and readers got plenty of rest.
As for for those of us here on Hardy's Hill, we did not plan anything special; just sleep in, since we didn't have to catch a school bus, and nothing pressing to be done. So rest was the most important item on our agenda.
I would like to send get well wishes to my daughter-in-law, Tina Hardy, who has been having a rather trying time. She went into the hospital in Collierville, Tenn. for what everyone thought was a routine procedure. As it turned out though, she was required to undergo major surgery. She is now home and recuperating.
Also I have learned that a former resident of Blythe who is now living in Hickory Flat, Troy Baker, is in the hospital in Oxford after a fall at his home. I was told that Troy is in serious condition. We send our best to the both of you.
I am afraid I have been negligent in my reporting of the Cornersville news, as a couple of months ago we had some new neighbors move into our neighborhood. Actually, they are just returning home. William and Molly Byers lived here quite a few years ago, but William's job took them to Tennessee. Anyway, they are now back at home and I would like to beg their forgiveness for the slight. It was not intended as such and we welcome you home.
Molly is the sister of David Greer, Sr. The house she and William are moving into is one that they built back in over 30 years ago. This is next door to the home of David and Betty who own the Greer and Greer Equipment Company in New Albany.
I had a very pleasant telephone call from a Mr. Mcneely who now lives on the Poolville-Myrtle Road, but was a resident of Blythe when he was very young. We have not met, but we have a number of mutual acquaintances. He knew a lot more about this area than I do. He told me he always reads my news and ask me to keep up the good work. But in fact it was he that reminded me that he had not seen anything in my column about Molly and William. Thank you to a good reader of my news. Keep them calls a-coming and keep me on my toes.
My friend and fellow church member, Rita Burge, has gotten her masters degree at Blue Mountain College. This has been quite a feat, as Rita has raised two sweet boys, keeps house for her husband, Lynn, and at times work as a teacher. Congratulations are in order.
This Sunday, Sept. 9, Salem Baptist Church will have our homecoming, Harvey Scott will be the guest speaker and Kim Wickes will be giving her testimony and will treat us to her beautiful singing voice.
If you have never heard Kim, and even if you have, come and hear this wonderful lady. Her story is truly one that will amaze you. She was born in Korea some 80 years ago. As a child three years of age, she, along with her two siblings and parents were in the war zone. Her parents were destitute and desperate to get away from the fighting. They were traveling on a road that was being shelled with bombs falling all around.
Kim's parents told her to close eyes and do not look when the bombs exploded, but, being a young child, she looked and was blinded in both eyes. Her story is remarkable in the other things she tells about before she came to the United States. Even more remarkable are the many accomplishments she achieved in spite of her blindness.
The song service will begin at 10 a.m. and after the sermon, dinner will be served in the fellowship hall.
This concludes my writing this week, but I would like to leave this thought: "Where flowers bloom, so does hope."
If you have news to report, call me on my cell phone at 662-316-8963, or on my land line at 662-988-3685.

7.11: Landforms from Wave Erosion and Deposition
How is surfing like erosion?
Have you ever surfed or even body surfed? Have you felt a wave crash onto your body and then try to drag you offshore? Surfers use the power of waves for a wild ride. But that power can also be used to create landforms along a shoreline.
Wave Erosion
Wave energy does the work of erosion at the shore. Waves approach the shore at some angle so the inshore part of the wave reaches shallow water sooner than the part that is further out. The shallow part of the wave "feels" the bottom first. This slows down the inshore part of the wave and makes the wave "bend." This bending is called refraction.
- In this animation, notice how the wave refracts as it comes into the beach. http://www.grossmont.edu/garyjacobson/Oceanography%20112/Wave%20Model.htm
Wave refraction either concentrates wave energy or disperses it. In quiet water areas, such as bays, wave energy is dispersed, so sand is deposited. Areas that stick out into the water are eroded by the strong wave energy that concentrates its power on the wave-cut cliff (Figure below).
These colorful cliffs on Martha's Vineyard are eroded by wave action. Note that the topsoil and vegetation at the top of the cliff are undercut by the falling sand and clay beneath.
Other features of wave erosion are pictured and named in Figure below. A wave-cut platform is the level area formed by wave erosion as the waves undercut a cliff. An arch is produced when waves erode through a cliff. When a sea arch collapses, the isolated towers of rocks that remain are known as sea stacks.
(a) The high ground is a large wave-cut platform formed from years of wave erosion. (b) A cliff eroded from two sides produces an arch. (c) The top of an arch erodes away, leaving behind a tall sea stack.
Wave Deposition
Rivers carry sediments from the land to the sea. If wave action is high, a delta will not form. Waves will spread the sediments along the coastline to create a beach. Waves also erode sediments from cliffs and shorelines and transport them onto beaches. Beaches can be made of mineral grains like quartz, rock fragments, and also pieces of shell or coral (Figure below).
Quartz, rock fragments, and shell make up the sand along a beach.
Waves continually move sand along the shore. Waves also move sand from the beaches on shore to bars of sand offshore as the seasons change. In the summer, waves have lower energy so they bring sand up onto the beach. In the winter, higher energy waves bring the sand back offshore.
Some of the features formed by wave-deposited sand are in Figure below. These features include barrier islands and spits. A spit is sand connected to land and extending into the water. A spit may hook to form a tombolo.
Examples of features formed by wave-deposited sand.
Shores that are relatively flat and gently sloping may be lined with long, narrow barrier islands (Figure below). Most barrier islands are a few kilometers wide and tens of kilometers long.
Much of North Carolina's coast is protected by barrier islands that enclose Pamlico Sound. The thin white strips on the outer edges of the islands are beach sand.
In its natural state, a barrier island acts as the first line of defense against storms such as hurricanes. When barrier islands are urbanized (Figure above), hurricanes damage houses and businesses rather than vegetated sandy areas in which sand can move. A large hurricane brings massive problems to the urbanized area.
Protecting Shorelines
Intact shore areas protect inland areas from storms that come off the ocean. Where the natural landscape is altered or the amount of development makes damage from a storm too costly to consider, people use several types of structures to attempt to slow down wave erosion. A few are pictured below (Figure below). A groin is a long, narrow pile of rocks built perpendicular to the shoreline to keep sand at that beach. A breakwater is a structure built in the water parallel to the shore in order to protect the shore from strong incoming waves. A seawall is also parallel to the shore, but it is built onshore.
(a) Groins trap sand on the up-current side so then people down current build groins to trap sand too. (b) Breakwaters are visible in this satellite image parallel to the shoreline. (c) Seawalls are similar to breakwaters except built onshore. Extremely large storm waves may destroy the sea wall, leaving the area unprotected.
People do not always want to choose safe building practices, and instead choose to build a beach house right on the beach. Protecting development from wave erosion is difficult and expensive.
Protection does not always work. The northeastern coast of Japan was protected by anti-tsunami seawalls. Yet waves from the 2011 tsunami that resulted from the Tohoku earthquake washed over the top of some seawalls and caused others to collapse. Japan is now planning to build even higher seawalls to prepare for any future (and inevitable) tsunami.
- Ocean waves have a tremendous amount of energy and so they may do a great deal of erosion. Some landforms created by erosion are platforms, arches, and sea stacks.
- Transported sand will eventually be deposited on beaches, spits, or barrier islands.
- People love the shore, so they develop these regions and then must build groins, breakwaters, and seawalls to protect them.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]
The Relaxed Mind
A Seven-Step Method for Deepening Meditation PracticeIn the late 1990s, shortly after arriving in the United States, it became clear to Dza Kilung Rinpoche that his Western students responded to traditional meditation instructions differently from his students back in Asia. The Westerners didn't know how to relax—our pressured, fast-paced lifestyles carried over into meditation. The Relaxed Mind contains instructions for the seven-phase meditation practice Dza Kilung Rinpoche developed for students in the West. It's adapted from… Read More

By JB Clark and Lena Mitchell/NEMS Daily Journal
In one month a law will take effect in Mississippi that has many law enforcement officers, business owners and regular people confused.
House Bill 2, a bill meant to clarify Mississippi's concealed carry gun laws, defines the word concealed and in doing so says it shall not include weapons being carried upon a person in a sheath, belt holster or shoulder holster that is wholly or partially visible.
Gun rights advocates have taken to campaigning for and embracing a new open carry movement. One group in Corinth is hosting an open carry, empty chamber day at Corinth City Park on July 6 once the law goes into affect.
Many law enforcement officials have expressed concern that this will bring more weapons into play in their everyday duties, increasing their call volume and confusion at crime scenes.
House Bill 2 author, Rep. Andy Gipson, R- Braxton, said Mississippi has always been an open carry state and the campaigning and worry is much to do about nothing.
"Nothing the Legislature did or could do changed Article 3, Section 12 of the Mississippi Constitution of 1980," Gipson said.
The article says that the state can regulate or forbid the carrying of concealed weapons but no law can call into question the right of every citizen to, "keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person or property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned…"
One thing law enforcement officials are working to make clear to business owners is that this law doesn't change private property laws. In the case of the Corinth City Park gun rally, Corinth has a city ordinance that does not allow having a gun in many public places, including the city park.
Police Chief David Lancaster said the Corinth Police Department is still awaiting an opinion from the attorney general as to which law takes priority.
He held an informational session for business owners in Corinth to let them know about the upcoming law as well as let them know what their rights as business owners are.
Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson said people need to know they still have property rights.
"I can't tell you that you can't carry a gun into a restaurant, but I can tell the people that own the restaurant they have the right to refuse service to anyone," he said. "You can post a sign that says guns aren't allowed at a private business and then they are trespassing if they come in. If they have the enhanced concealed carry permit they can carry anywhere, even that restaurant, except for certain government buildings."
To do this, a sign banning guns in a business must be visible from not less than 10 feet of a businesses entrance.
Jeff Snyder, general manager of The Mall at Barnes Crossing, said they have prohibited weapons and firearms at the mall since it opened. They have signs posted outside each mall entrance.
John Oxford, Renasant Bank's vice president of external affairs, said the Mississippi Bankers Association is having a conference about the new law where they will look at adopting a uniform policy for banks in Mississippi.
Johnson said now the question is, "Who will walk up to someone with a gun and tell them to leave?"
Verona Police Chief Anthony Anderson said he is anticipating much discussion on how to enforce this law at the upcoming Mississippi Association of Chiefs of Police Conference on June 16.
He said he is a supporter of Second Amendment rights but doesn't look forward to walking into a gas station where four people have guns on their hips and trying to figure out who is trained to use the firearm and what their intentions are.
Tupelo Police Chief Tony Carleton said he and his officers are going through a week of training before the new law takes effect to make sure everyone is clear and it is properly enforced.
Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar said his staff will also undergo specific training for enforcement of the new law. He said as long as a person isn't a convicted felon and isn't concealing their firearm, they can have it in public.
Johnson said he expects to see a large increase in harassment and intimidation calls following the law.
Johnson, Anderson and Gipson all made sure to point out that a person carrying a gun openly in public is still prohibited from showing or using that weapon in a threatening manner.
"It doesn't matter what you think about the way you're carrying your gun if someone else feels threatened or intimidated," Johnson said.
When the new law goes into effect, convicted felons will still be prohibited from carrying a firearm, people will still be prohibited from carrying a firearm into an area with posted signs banning firearms unless they have a state-issued enhanced conceal carry permit and anyone using a firearm in the commission of a crime or for intimidation can be held legally responsible.
To carry a firearm in public in Mississippi, a person must be at least 18 years of age.
• THE MISSISSIPPI CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT – also known as a firearms permit, specifies a stun gun, concealed pistol or revolver – does not require any special training and limits places where a permit-holder can carry a firearm. The extensive list is available at the Mississippi Department of Public Safety website, but includes among others police departments, sheriff's offices, courthouses, jails, bars and schools. Must
be at least 21 to have permit.
• THE MISSISSIPPI ENHANCED CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT requires the individual be trained by an instructor certified by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety. It gives greater latitude to the number of places where permit-holders may take their weapons, but also excludes federal buildings, courtrooms during proceedings,
police departments, sheriff's offices, highway patrol stations, prisons, jails and places of nuisance, also described on the Mississippi DPS website.
Must be at least 21 to have permit.

I hope that everyone had a great Independence Day. Mine was extremely good and let me tell you why.
I went camping with my family, my sisters family, and a family that are close friends of ours, almost family in fact. We went out to the Oregon coast and had a ball. We went to a small town parade that truly demonstrated the spirit of America and why we celebrate the 4th of July. It was refreshing to see when the Coast Guard Color Guard lead the Parade, People stood and covered their hearts as the flag passed. It was nice to see the local Boy Scouts following the color guard carrying a banner and getting big cheers from the crowd. Old fashioned cars, dogs dressed in Red, White, and Blue, fire trucks, and horses, but all of them proud to be Americans and happy to be living in the land of the free.
Then back to camp for rest and relaxation, hamburgers and hot dogs and some good potato salad, sitting around the fire and enjoying the sounds of campers having a great weekend.
As it began to get dark, it was time to go see the fire works. We grabbed our lot of sparklers and other spectacular noise makers and headed to a point on the Columbia river. Positioned so that we could see the fire works from Astoria to Long beach. It was fantastic! We turned up the radio in my truck to get the simulcast from the fire work show in Seaside and began to celebrate. All at once the Star Spangled Banner began to play over the radio as the fire work show began. Without a word I noticed that everyone in our group had turned and looked to a nearby flag pole where the flag was still flying. Not a sound, other than that of a lone voice singing our National Anthem. Pride filled my heart as I looked to five young men standing in the back of my brother in laws pick up truck. Standing tall, hands over their hearts, quiet.
These five boys are all Boy Scouts and without a word to pay attention or put your hand over your heart, or be quiet, they knew what to do. At the last note they turned to see the smiles on all of our faces. We all were and are proud of them. They get it.
It was a perfect way to end the day.. start the celebration.. and call this one of the best Independence days ever.
Character, Citizenship, and Fitness… You gotta love the Boy Scouts of America!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Baking | Amaranth Oat Walnut Ginger Cookies … inspiration in every crumb #comfortfood #glutenfree #eggless #vegetarian #cookies
"Cookies are made of butter and love."
Norwegian Proverb
Amaranth Oat Walnut Ginger Cookies were an experiment, yet another happy one!. Strangely enough, ever since I claimed I hardly ever bake cookies, that's just what I have been doing of late. Eggless Honey Almond Cookies … … then Coffee Shortbread which still has to see light of day on my blog. We've got some happy cookie monsters on the prowl this end!!
Did you notice something? They're all eggless cookies, or lacto vegetarian as they call them. Like the 'Not Quite Anzac Cookie Pops' below I woke up early one morning and had fun making on Anzac Day last week. I did a Not Quite Anzac Cookie Cake too! On this eggless trail, I also recently stirred up Dark Chocolate Nutella Kumquat Pudding … sinfully addictive! Hmmmm … maybe it's a trend? Certainly feels like one!Then the other day Ruchira & I popped by at Sangeeta's and were treated to these fab GF Ginger & Jaggery Energy Bars. The taste of the bars lingered on for long, flavours dancing in my head. That they were just 5 ingredient bars and had amaranth flour and oats was intriguing enough!
I had to come home and recreate 'something'. Her recipe inspired me. I'd do cookies. Nice plump whole grain bites. Cookies are always handy to have at home, gluten free more so for Mr PAB. I didn't have jaggery on hand, so changes happened. Many changes.
Eventually ended up with these and they packed a nice punch. The subtle undertones on ginger and honey teased the palette. The walnut taste didn't come through, but upped the ante on the 'healthy nuts' factor. I ran the Amaranth Oat Walnut Ginger Cookies past the 'inspirer' at the Food Freak Awards Gurgaon later that evening. She gave them a huge thumbs up, so here you are.
These possibly aren't going to be huge kiddie favourite cookies as they aren't very sweet. Slightly crumbly, reminiscent of the quintessential Indian nan khatai that we used to bake in our childhood, I found the Amaranth Oat Walnut Ginger Cookies quite addictive. They grow on you. For eggless, gluten free cookies, they are fabulous! I shall experiment some more with the recipe, maybe crack an egg or two in the days to come. Until then, these eggless cookies might please you like they did Sangeeta and me!
Summary: For eggless, gluten free baking, these Amaranth Oat Walnut Ginger Cookies are fabulous! Slightly crumbly, reminiscent of the quintessential Indian nan khatai that we used to bake in our childhood, I found them quite addictive.

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
My thoughts exactly!!! Nothing compares to having a rod built around your particular style of casting and fishing. Maybe the initial cost is a little more but you will have a tool that fits you, instead of buying rods and selling them off looking for the right one. The thought of being able to adapt that rod later down the line as a caster progresses is the ultimate scenerio. Its good to know that there are custom rod builders/ desighners like Bob Meiser and Kerry Burkhiemer.
Bob Meiser's rods and blanks built on his own blank designs are true custom rods as well and he can also make adjustments to the blank to better fit the desires and preferences of the customer.
Given the downside (cost, wait time, warranty, after market) of having a STOCK blank custom wrapped for you, I can't see the point in buying one.
However, I can understand why a fly fisherman would want a trully custom rod made for him/her. A custom rod built from the ground up meaning: you pick the action, stiffness, length, finish, cork quality, grip shape and size, guides, seat fighting butt or not, windings, epoxy coat the blank (heavier) or seal the blank but no epoxy (lighter). The custom rod manufacturer will build a blank for you and go from there. The time is about 3-4 months and the cost is about the same as a premium rod from a major manufacturer because there is no middle man.
The greater majority of "custom" rod manufacturers simply give you custom trimmings on a stock blank. The only truly custom rod manufacturer I am aware of is C.F. Burkheimer in Wasougal Washington - 360 835-1420, Although I am sure there has to be more. I own three of his rods which are the smoothest, non-tiring rods I own. They also enjoy a great resale value for those that know them. The downside to a custom rod is that the buyer has to be experianced enough to explain - in detail - what he/she wants the rod to perform like. However adjustments can be made. For instance, since my casting style has changed during the three years I have owned my Burkheimer 9wt, I now want it a little faster. They will build me a new stiffer Butt section to speed the rod up a bit. I will then have a rod that is almost a mid-flex for clousers and close-up casting and by changing the butt I can go to a faster action. He is going to build me a new sock and tube to house and travel with all four pieces. No way can you have that kind of flexibility and performance with a stock blank.
As far as I know, lifetime warrantees only cover the original registered owner. Am I right? So, if you buy a used Sage and you break it, say good bye.
Factory vs custom
I used to wrap all of 'em myself. It gives me something to get through the winter doldrums, teaches the builder a good bit about the tools they use for catching fish, has the pride of buildership thing to boot. I gave up on building my salt H2O rods because I believe that they are an item that breaks a lot. I rarely go through a year without breaking one (the last 2 I've been lucky) . I don't mind re-wrapping a tip or mid section but butt sections suck.
The warrantee issue in reality is a non-issue replacement parts are usually about 30-50 bucks and "handling fees" for warrantee repairs are around 30-50 bucks.
The warrantee thing has always been a joke. Before all the companies jumped on the Orvis bandwagon they usually did repairs for free or a small fee but that is a different discussion for a different day.
I always try to build rather than "buy off the rack", for the following reasons:
1. I take a lot of pride in catching fish on a rod that built and on a fly that I tied.
2. I like to use better/different hardware than manufacturers do on stock rods.
3. I like to save money.
Not to say that my rods are better or worse than stock rods, but I feel that my enjoyment of them is greater because I took the time to hand craft them.
Let me chime in here . I have built 7 custom Sage rods and when I show them to other anglers they always say" did you make that.?" I use only the best components like REC reel seats and Perfection snake guides with Fuji stripping guides . You can't find these components on factory rods. Pride of ownership and the fact that I wrapped the blank myself makes the rod special to me. If you can tie flies you can wrap your own rod.
|Thanks everyone for the great input. My main concern was the warrantee. I would love a custom sage, someday, but for now, I will have to stick with a factory sage (or whatever I decide to get) because I'm not the most balanced walker around the woods. I have a custom St. Croix 3wt. now that I love, but I didnt pay an arm and a leg for it. Now, I just need to find a good deal on some rods. Now my delima is deciding between an XP and the SLT.
|North Island
Everything Flyter points out is absolutly true and good reasons to get a custom rod.
However no one has mentioned the pride of ownership factor. Fishing fine tackle adds to the enjoyment in my opinion. It's great to show up at the river and spend your hard earned free time with tackle which is a pleasure to use. If fish are hooked so much the better!
Cheers N I
|if you break a custom rod section, then simply ask for the broken section back and you strip off the guides and seat to reuse as needed. You can't reuse the cork. Guides are cheap (unless they're not! e.g., TiCH, SIC)
You are absolutely correct that a custom rod will not offer more performance than a factory rod of the same blank model simip0ly because a blank performs in a given way regardless of whether assembled by the factory or a custom builder. However, a factory will not let you have difference thread colors, won't put feather inlays on a rod, won't let you have a differently shaped grip, won't put on a different reel seat or use a different wood insert in the reel seat, won't put oversize guides on the rod for you, won't put your name in thread on the rod, and won't put different guides on the rods for you. For example, Sage will not put gold thread, Fuji SIC strippers, oversize TiCH snake guides, make the grip larger diameter (or smaller diameter), or an engraved REC reel seat on the rod for you. To get those, you either have to built it yourself from the Sage blank or have a custom rod builder build it and put this things on it for you and be prepared to pay more because the reel seat and TiCH guides cost more.
Some rod manufacturers (like Meiser and Orvis) will do these things for you as a non-refundable special order; but the price might very well be than the standard factory rod because the components could be more expensive and the time it takes to add feather inlays or thread weaves.
That said, there blanks on the market that are not available as finished rods, and the only way to get a rod made on one of them is by either building it yourself or having it built for you.
It still comes down to whether 1) you want to have different size grips, different reel seats, different strippers and snake guides, different color threads, etc. than the factory puts on the rod; or 2) you want a thread weave, feather inlays, or your name in thread on the rod; or 3) if you want to save a little money by building it yourself.
As to whether a rod is an investment or not, I submit that a rod is never an investment (unless you get a bamboo from one of the high end makers and never fish it). Instead it is a fishing tool that you should buy because it fits the flies sizes you are going to fish, fits the fish you are going fishing for, suits your casting style, and you are happy with its cosmetics. Any rod, other than the high-end bamboos, are going to depreciate as soon as you take them home from the store. This is true for factory rods and custom rods. The big reason shops can get more for a factory rod than a custom is that the manufacturer's warrantee applies to the whole factory rod; but only to the blank of the custom rod.
For example, you buy a Sage 9141-4 used and break the tip section, Sage will replace it for you at no charge. However, if you buy a used custom built on the Sage 9141-4 blank and break the tip section, Sage might replace the tip section of the blank; but Sage will not give you a new complete tip section. You will have to buy the guides and pay someone to wrap the guides on the blank and finish the thread wraps with epoxy. Thus, it will cost you money if you break the one custom built on the Sage 9141-4 blank to have it fixed, and it will cost you nothing if you break the Sage factory built 9141-4.
I have noticed the custom built rods on the best blanks have a very poor resale value. A local shop will take used rods in trade and the factory originals will obtain much higher trade in allowance, they have a difficult time selling used customs. Check out eBay and other sources for used custom rods and compare the prices to used factory rods.
I own several very well made custom rods and many factory originals, the much hyped better performance by the custom makers is not apparent to my casting style.
If you can make the rod yourself it is very economical and a great learing experience. IMHO paying more than factory for a custom is a poor investment.
Custom built pros: 1) you choose the grip size, shape, and diameter you prefer; 2) you choose the guide wrap colors you desire; 3) you can have oversize guides put on the rods, which helps in shooting line: 4) you choose the type of reel seat, color of reel seat, and type of wood insert for the reel seat; 5) you can have feather inlays added to the rod when it is made; 6) you choose the type and sizes of guides; 7) the rod blank will be spined (Sage and Loomis do not spline the blank) for optimal guide placement and rod performance; 8) the guides will be placed where static defection indicates are the optimal distances from guide to guide; 9) the cosmetics and finish will nearly always be much better than a factory rod; and 10) you can have things like your name placed on the rod in thread.
The cons: 1) the warrenty only covers the blank, not the wrapped and finished rod; therefore, it something breaks, only the blank is covered, not the guide placement and wrapping or handle buidling; 2) if the rod breaks, the blank replacement may be your responsibility because it may be due to incorrect building (this is rare if done by someone who knows what they are doing); 3) not all rod manufactures offer all of their blanks for sale (CND has no blanks for sale that I am aware of and loomis doesn't offer its GLX and only a few of its other series for sale as blanks); 4) a well-made custom rod built by someone for you is usually a little more expensive than a factory rod; and 5) a factory rod can be had by simply going to a dealer, purchasing it, and you can fish it the same day-a custom rod will take some time for you to get it.
Custom vs Factory built rods
What are the pros and cons of buying a custom built rod with a blank from sage, loomis or any of the 'big guys'? I know that price will be cheaper, but is that enough to warrant getting a custom? What about warrantee?

The Sanders family from Missouri stood by their dog - a big yellow lab- for a 16 month fight that ended with the judge declaring their dog not guilty of a dog bite that would have led to his death. The mayor of Salem had declared the dog should be euthanized. A lawyer from Salem Missouri Joe Simon help them achieve their goal. Not too many people would have stood by their dog this long to make sure he was not wrongfully put to death. Joe Simon was able to prove that the mark on the child's face could not have come from a dog as big as Phineas. Now they must move because their kids no longer feel safe in school and they are receiving threats of harm.
An organizer is seeking donations to help the family with 4 small children move, lab and all.

Anthropogenic wastes, toxic chemicals, and changes in land-use patterns resulting from residential, commercial, and recreational development have stressed the environment of the Sound, causing degradation and potential loss of benthic habitats (Koppelman and others, 1976; Long Island Sound Study, 1994). Detailed maps of the sea floor are needed to help evaluate the extent of adverse impacts and to help manage resources wisely in the future. Therefore, in a continuing effort to better understand Long Island Sound, we have constructed and interpreted sidescan sonar mosaics (complete-coverage acoustic images of the sea floor) within specific areas of special interest (Poppe and Polloni, 1998; fig. 1). The mosaic presented herein covers a 190.3 km square area of the sea floor in west-central Long Island Sound off Bridgeport, Connecticut.
The mosaics and their interpretations serve many purposes, including: (1) defining the geological variability of the sea floor, which is one of the primary controls of benthic habitat diversity; (2) improving our understanding of the processes that control the distribution and transport of bottom sediments and the distribution of benthic habitats and associated infaunal community structures; and (3) providing a detailed framework for future research, monitoring, and management activities. The sidescan sonar mosaics also serve as base maps for subsequent sedimentological, geochemical, and biological observations, because precise information on environmental setting is important for selection of sampling sites and for accurate interpretation of point measurements.

The pylorus is the opening between the stomach and the intestines. A pyloroplasty is a surgery to make the pylorus opening wider.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The pylorus opens and closes to allow food to pass to the intestines. Certain conditions can make this area thicker. This can make it difficult for food to pass. The condition is called
pyloric stenosis
. It can cause severe symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and
Pyloroplasty is done to widen the opening. It can treat this condition.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your child's doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before the procedure, talk to your child's doctor factors that may increase the risk of complications, such as:
Make sure your child does not eat or drink anything before the surgery. Follow the specific directions given by your doctor.
General anesthesia
will be used. Your child will be asleep.
The anesthesia will be given. When your child is asleep, an incision will be made in the abdomen. A cut will be made in the muscle of the pylorus. The pylorus will then be sewn back together in a wider shape.
The abdominal muscles will be sewn back together. The skin will be closed with stitches or staples.
After the surgery, your child will be monitored for about 1-2 hours.
The surgery will take about 1-2 hours.
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Your child will be given medication to relieve pain or soreness during recovery.
The usual length of stay is 1-3 days. The doctor may choose to keep your child longer if there are complications.
A normal diet will be gradually introduced during the hospital stay.
Before your child goes home, you will be taught how to take
care of the surgical incision
