In "Inside the Mind of Casey Anthony," Keith Ablow, M.D. discloses his theory about the roots of his subject's psyche as he examines her patterns of behavior before, during and after one of the most talked-about criminal cases in recent history. Here's an excerpt.
Enabler of Death
After Cindy Anthony visited her father at the Mount Dora Nursing Home, she drove back to have some chili for dinner at her mother, Shirley's, house, just a few blocks away.
Cindy and her mother had had to deal with some trouble over the past few months. During April, Casey—Caylee's mother—had stolen $354 from her grandfather Alex's account, where his Social Security checks were routinely deposited. She had used the money to pay an AT&T bill.
Shirley had found out during May, once she received her bank statement and got around to reviewing it. She'd been livid. After all, it wasn't the first time Casey had stolen from her. Back in August 2007, at Caylee's second birthday party, Casey had taken a blank check from her grandmother's purse, made it out to Publix for fifty-four dollars and supposedly used it to pay for some of the party supplies (although the money might have been spent on other things). Shirley found out, but she let it go. "I was mad, but I forgave her," she later told investigators. "She apologized, and I told her, 'Don't let it happen again.' "
But it had happened again, and this time Shirley suggested to the Bank of America that they have Casey arrested and press charges against her. Instead, the bank simply reimbursed Shirley her money and left it at that.
'Ignore Casey Anthony,' urges her former prosecutor
Shirley hadn't called the police or the district attorney's office to press charges, either.
Shirley had called Cindy, though, and told her what had happened.
Cindy was no stranger to Casey's stealing. Casey had not only stolen money from her purse on many occasions, had not only forged checks from her account to buy merchandise from stores like Target, but had also stolen tens of thousands of dollars from her by using her credit cards without permission. Cindy had had to use funds from her retirement account to pay down the balances.
Covering up had become a habit for Cindy. At the end of Casey's senior year of high school, Cindy learned that Casey hadn't graduated. But that didn't stop her from sending out a high school graduation picture of her daughter to relatives and hosting a graduation party. She invited her mother and father, who actually went to the high school graduation ceremony expecting to see their granddaughter walking with her class. Of course, she never did. So they headed over to Cindy's house for the festivities.
Cindy never returned gifts sent by out-of-town relatives, or told them that Casey didn't get her diploma.
The man who tried to convict Casey Anthony tells his story
According to one family member who lives out of state, "I got a graduation announcement and I sent a gift, then I found out six years later or so that she didn't even graduate. Cindy never told me. She never called me and said, 'I'm sending your gift back. She didn't graduate.' She never even told her own mother. Shirley knew that Casey didn't go to her graduation ceremony, but she didn't know why."
More in books
"Cindy didn't want any negative news to come out of her house," Cindy's brother Rick told me.
Even George had learned not to make waves and bring up inconvenient facts around Cindy. After Caylee was born, Casey had told her father that she was working at the Sports Authority store in Westford Lakes, Florida, in addition to her job at Universal Studios as an "event planner." George went to the store one day, purportedly to bring her lunch, but also because he had a hunch she might not actually be working there at all.
When George got to Sports Authority, he asked for Casey, but learned that she, indeed, was not working there and never had. He called Cindy and told her, "Well, she's not here."
"What are you doing? What are you doing checking up on our daughter?" Cindy demanded.
"Because I need to," George said. "I need to find out where she's at. I need to find out what's going on, why she's supposed to be somewhere, specifically, and why she's not there."
Cindy was extremely upset with him. "Well, why are you following your daughter around?" she demanded. "You know what this is going to do to her? She'll be irritated."
George brought up the issue timidly with Casey, who did, indeed, get irritated with him. Then he let it drop. He later said he hadn't "wanted to upset my wife...that I'm trying to stay with..."
Hear an excerpt from the audiobook 'Inside the Mind of Casey Anthony: A Psychological Portrait''
He also had his suspicions about whether Casey's job at Universal Studios was real, but he let that go, too. "I didn't bother with any more because, number one," he said much later, "is it would have upset my wife....[I] decided to swallow it and let it go....Even though, you know, it could have—it bothers me. It bothered me inside and it still does a little bit to this day. But, then again, I've got to think about my marriage and some other stuff."
Yes, well, a father can't allow himself to be too bothered by stark evidence that his daughter is living a fraudulent, make-believe life, can he? Not when his wife might get upset with him for bringing it up.

Description Grown as much for its foliage as for its flowers, Snow-on-the-mountain has small but showy leaves that may be light green, variegated, or entirely white. They clasp erect, many-branched stems that grow 1-3 ft. tall. Tiny flowers, each with whitish, petal-like bracts, are borne in clusters atop the stems.
Warning Plant parts (fresh or dried) and extracts made from them can be toxic if ingested to both humans and cattle. Ingestion causes inflammtion or blistering of the mouth, throat, and esophagus. Contact with plant can cause irritation of skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.
Flower August - October.

First bird down, first time out. Thanks in no small part to all theose who put up with my questions. Thanks. I thought it was going to be a wasted day, how it all started this morning. I got my car stuck in a sink hole in the road. Ever push (not drive) a crappy Saturn out of a sink hole? things were pulled. Then it was a couple of hours of "runnin" but no "gunnin." I finally settled on the edge of a field that I've seen turkeys in at dusk a short while ago. I didn't hear anything all morning and got nothing from owl/crow calling. I just sat down and gave a couple of yelps and waited. gobble gobble! Holy crap! Inside, I was screaming like a 12 year old girl at a Hanna Montanna concert. Outside, just the evil grin. a quick cut and another gobble. 2 jakes came right for me. I dropped the bigger of the 2. here's the sad part...I was so excited to get him home and in the oven (not freezer!) that I forgot to weigh him!!!!! so since I can't tell that he WASN'T... he was a 400lb jake. the pic is not the best. I got a new camera last night...
gobble to gun, about 20 min.
Thanks again for the advice everyone. Tomorrow I'm going to get either his buddy, or his daddy!

11.6: Correlation Using Relative Ages
Rock matching.
If we want to understand the geological history of a location we need to look at the rocks in that location. But if we want to understand a region, we need to correlate the rocks between different locations so that we can meld the individual histories of the different locations into one regional history.
Matching Up Rock Layers
Superposition and cross-cutting are helpful when rocks are touching one another and lateral continuity helps match up rock layers that are nearby. To match up rocks that are further apart we need the process of correlation. How do geologists correlate rock layers that are separated by greater distances? There are three kinds of clues:
Distinctive Rock Formations
1. Distinctive rock formations may be recognizable across large regions (Figure below).
The famous White Cliffs of Dover in southwest England can be matched to similar white cliffs in Denmark and Germany.
Index Fossils
2. Two separated rock units with the same index fossil are of very similar age. What traits do you think an index fossil should have? To become an index fossil the organism must have (1) been widespread so that it is useful for identifying rock layers over large areas and (2) existed for a relatively brief period of time so that the approximate age of the rock layer is immediately known.
Many fossils may qualify as index fossils (Figure below). Ammonites, trilobites, and graptolites are often used as index fossils.
Mucrospirifer mucronatus is an index fossil that indicates that a rock was laid down from 416 to 359 million years ago.
Microfossils, which are fossils of microscopic organisms, are also useful index fossils. Fossils of animals that drifted in the upper layers of the ocean are particularly useful as index fossils, since they may be distributed over very large areas.
A biostratigraphic unit, or biozone, is a geological rock layer that is defined by a single index fossil or a fossil assemblage. A biozone can also be used to identify rock layers across distances.
Key Beds
3. A key bed can be used like an index fossil since a key bed is a distinctive layer of rock that can be recognized across a large area. A volcanic ash unit could be a good key bed. One famous key bed is the clay layer at the boundary between the Cretaceous Period and the Tertiary Period, the time that the dinosaurs went extinct (Figure below). This widespread thin clay contains a high concentration of iridium, an element that is rare on Earth but common in asteroids. In 1980, the father-son team of Luis and Walter Alvarez proposed that a huge asteroid struck Earth 66 million years ago and caused the mass extinction.
The white clay is a key bed that marks the Cretaceous-Tertiary Boundary.
- A single rock unit contains the story of the geology of that location. To understand the geology of a region, scientists use correlation.
- To correlate rock units, something distinctive must be present in each. This can include an index fossil, a unique rock type, a key bed, or a unique sequence of rocks.
- A key bed can be global. An example is the iridium layer that was deposited at the time of the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinctions.
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
Leaf fossils in Lapilli tuff
1. Where were these leaf fossils found?
2. Why is this volcanic ash unique?
3. How is the lapilli tuff formed?
4. Why is this lapilli tuff important?
5. What does the lapilli tuff allow scientists to do?
1. What features must the iridium layer that dates to around 66 million years ago have to be a key bed?
2. Why are microfossils especially useful as index fossils?
3. What is the process of correlation?

I have a 18 month old BLM that I dont believe will ever be accused of being absolutly obsessed with retrieving bumpers but after we get done training and throwing him a couple of fun bumpers to end the session, as were walking back to the truck he will try to nip/bite my pant leg or the side of my boot. I never really thought much of it until now other than it being a bad habbit and correcting him for doing so. I just figured he was excited and being a puppy wanting to play.
So i guess what i am really getting at is, could this be his way of trying to tell me he wants more retrieves rather than running around waiting for me to throw another. And the reason I ask this is because since day one of our training I have always tried to make him as crazy as possible about retrieving and being very limited on the number of bumpers I will throw for him. But I feel like sometimes he could care less even if I only throw one fun bumper and put it up. Oh and he NEVER does this until we are finished training for that session. Actually now I think about it, I think he has done it once or twice after we got done hunting and were walking back to the truck. Please advise what you think this means and why he would do this? Thanks!

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Craig Sword was limping the whole second half, but he gritted his teeth, and Mississippi State gutted out a big win Wednesday night.
The Bulldogs used some tenacious defense in the final five minutes to take a 56-54 win over South Carolina in both teams' SEC opener at Humphrey Coliseum. Sword, a freshman guard, led the way with 18 points despite hurting his ankle and battling cramps.
His two free throws gave State (6-7, 1-0 SEC) a 54-52 lead with 41.8 seconds left, and he added a dunk off a South Carolina turnover 15 seconds later.
"I just fought through it," Sword said during the postgame as he propped his iced-down right leg on a chair. "Scotty (Johnson, trainer) told me to keep running on it and it won't keep locking up, so I just kept running and playing D."
Sword wasn't the only Bulldog suffering. Jalen Steele and Trivante Bloodman also suffered from cramps, and with only an eight-player rotation, first-year coach Rick Ray had limited options.
"Guys were coming, like, I need a sub. And I'm like, there are no subs. We had to find a way to persevere," Ray said.
MSU trailed 50-44 with just over five minutes to go, and Ray could see his players hanging their heads. He reminded them to focus on defense, not offense.
South Carolina then went scoreless for over four minutes, and State took a 52-50 lead with 3:22 to go on a Fred Thomas layup, which resulted from a Tyson Cunningham steal.
"During the last couple of games, coaches said play every defensive possession like it's your last," Sword said. "So me and Fred got together and said, we've got to put pressure on the ball."
South Carolina committed 24 turnovers, and MSU turned those into 28 points. Thomas had five steals, while Colin Borchert had four blocks.
Brian Richardson led the Gamecocks with 20 points, and he had the hot hand in the second half. But he missed what would have been a game-tying jumper at the buzzer.
One for the show
This was a big win for MSU and Ray, who's got a very young team and just seven healthy scholarship players.
"What we do in practice, we have to show that we can do it on the court coming in a game," Steele said. "And today we definitely showed what's been going on in practice, and everything we do in practice was ready to show on the court today."
MSU shot 38.8 percent overall, including 47.8 percent after halftime. State made 18 of 25 free throws.
Roquez Johnson scored 14 for MSU.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Have battled most
Well, I've fished all over the world. I've caught Atlantics and all species of North American Salmon (there are a couple Asian Pacific Salmon Ii've never seen, let alone have caught).
I like the fight of the Atlantics. I haven't caught enough, or big enough, to really give you a good "feel" for their fight. But what I've played I can truly say I lliked.
Now, Paciific salmonoids are my sppciialty. Grew up fishing them since I was a preschooler. I've caught more then I can recall. I was gratious enough to fish in the last of the haydays of the mid 70's for large salmon and steelhead that you would catch on a regular basis. Just say it this way, the first steelhead I ever caught was on Xmas day. She was aa 19 lb hen. Followed her up with a 24lb buck. All at the age of 7. Only got better. To rate these fish is asJuro said I do believe, you must rate them iin their own merit. The raw power of a chrome bright 50+lb King fresh into the river with sealice is incredible. I've had King's easily over the 60 lb range spool me and snip my line. I've had 10 wt rods and heavy plug rods bend over like noodle rods with a ticked off buck on tehother end. I've caught silvers (coho) in the 20lb range. The aerials and the quick runs to you kep youu oon your toes. I've had many times thnking I'd lost my fish, only to reel up an find the "lost" fish starting spooling me again. Didn't take me long to learn to reel like crazy if th line went slack on a silver. Sockeyes and Pinks never thrilled me. They wer fun, buut not my style. Steelhead, both winter and summeruns, are ppure finese. A mixture of power style. I've caught many fish iin the 20+ range from th holy grails of the PNW (Hoh and Sol Duc) and many other small streams on the Oly Pen that shouldn't hold smal cutts, let alone big Steelies. But I aved my favorite for last. Personaly, it's my favorite fish to catch. Chums (dog) salmon are my lb for lb favorite fish to catch. In comparison, Ii've caught 20lb silvers, kings, steelhead, and chums. Chums by far ouutweigh them all. They have brute strength of a king, the acrobatics of a silver, and the runs of a steelhead. Plus they have what I honestly say is the highest survival instinct of them all. When most fiss will hole up and wait for the water to rise, most chum will run up a low slot and move up to next hole. I've only broke a coouple rods in my life, and most were broke on a chum. I've snapped 7 and 9 weights on chum. I just feel they are my favorite, thouugh they are the ugliest to some.
Now, onto people giving up their rights to keep fish. It's a mindset. I know some of you haave fished for years, but not sure how many have fished here in tehPNW back in th 70's and before. Fishing was beyond description. Hooking 20+ steelhead in a day was not unheard of. Ii've seen may days on th Puyallup when it was in it's haydays and brought home 2 nice WILD steelhead for dinner. Ii only liived a few blocks fromm the Puyallup growing up. So it was easy to go fishiing on a regular basis. Ppeople are creatues of habit. Growing uup for most of us in the 60's/70s/and 80's fishing was a way of life and also a way to help put food on the table. There wasn't the public ouutcries for wild fish. If there were i was overloked. You sppend most of your life keeping what you caught, it's very hard to just be told "natives release please". Not saying that it's baad to C and R native fish, but trying to give you the mindset. My first 2 steelhead caught on Dec 25, 1976 were both wild. The majority I caught in the next 10 years were wild too. Most of the fisherman I learned from were old when Ii started back in thee70's. Most haad fished since the 20's. Some were still alive when the first restrictions started cooming out. Most disregarded the rules. Their catch rates never changed, so they weren't going to release a fiine specimen of a fish. Ii myself at he time would've had a hard time releasing a 20+lb steelhead back then myself. I was younger and thought the world wouuld never change. I've grown up, and know that if I want my kids to see the fishing I had a chance to experience that things must change. I will say again, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. In the grand scheme of thins, this new style of C & R is relatively new in the PNW. Yes I know tha there have been Pioneers in the Northern WA rivers who've asked for these type of regs, but for the most part WA state has been a C & K fishery. Slowly people will change. But first, to really get an agreemeent to happen, you ned to UNIFY ALL FISHERMEN/WOMEN!!! There are too many classes that fight amongst each other. You have elitest fly fiisherman, gear fishermen, trollers, and all other sorts. Each tries to segregate th others. Mmost sportsman initiatives haave failed iin this sstate because we can't agree. That has got to change before we can ever get something done in this state.
Ok, Ii'm don preaching.
Yeah, I can't resist wading in on this one.
I'm lucky enough to have caught both Atlantic salmon and various Pacific salmon and steelhead on their home riffles. Each species is to be appreciated for its own merits and eccentricities.
I think the Atlantic salmon specialist looking to broaden his or her angling horizons would appreciate summer run steelhead most. Heading up to British Columbia and fishing the Skeena tributaries or the Thompson in fall with floating lines and skating flies would give the Atlantic salmon angler the closest approximation of the Eastern Canada experience. Actually, it would probably be a lot better than Eastern Canada, given the dismal runs that have returned to the Maritimes and Quebec in recent years.
That said, don't overlook Coho (silver) salmon. Over the years, and I say this as an ordained priest in Steelheadanity, I've come to appreciate Coho more and more. Particulary the Alaska strains of this magnificent beast. They will willingly take on the surface; they run; they jump (sky high); and are beautiful to behold and magnificent on the broiler. Their size compares favorably with Atlantic salmon (how many Atlantic salmon over twenty pounds are caught on public waters?), and they give the visual thrill that only a leaping fish can give.
If you get a chance, find an area that offers Cohos on the surface and you'll thoroughly enjoy your introduction to Pacific salmon and perhaps whet your appetite for Grail fish (O. mykis, aka steelhead),
Petri Dish,
Let's hope the hearing down in the other Vancouver results in the voice of reason being heard. I'm preparing my testimony, it would be great if you could write in too...
Here's the information:

|Juro, yes have heard of the Cowlitz and its crowds and fish. Elway also, but did not realize it was in such a bad shape due to the dams. In ways I am glad I donot live in the PNW seeing the ways they have neglected these great natural resources for future generations. I can't see why more people cannot accept no kill fisheries through out the U.S. and the preservation of wild fish. I guess we are the minority. Getting some great links from this site, to gain further knowledge on the PNW fisheries. Have to do your research before fishing unknown rivers and the web has certainly helped all of us in that way. The Ruddick fly shop in Vancouver pointed me to the Vedder thinking that would be the river with the most fish and easiest for me to access and fly fish. Really wanted to go to the Squamish but trying to drive that 2 lane road north out of Vancouver to it, in a snow and ice storm in a rental car changed my mind. Saw several cars into the rock walls, and said to much risk here for me, BC steelhead chance or not. Turned around, went back to Vancouver, and went skiing instead. Next weekend went to the Vedder for two days in another snow storm
I guess the elwha project is not going ahead as quickly as I thought but 2004 is not that far off.
It sure is a pretty river and will be interesting to see how quickly the fish stocks recover. Hopefully they do rebound quickly and will be a catalyst to get other needless dams removed.
Ah the Vedder! There are folks on this board who can talk about the Vedder in detail.
The river I was referring to was the Cowlitz, once a magnificent river that must have been the equal of the great northern steelhead rivers before several dams truncated the great runs of salmon and steelhead to a largely hatchery driven facimile albeit the original strains are loosely perpetuated in the hatchery system. There are still many wild fish in the system with much free spawning in the mainstem, branches and tributaries but for the most part these fish have been drastically modified by Mayfield, Riffe and other giant dams.
These steelhead once made their way up to the gravel moraines that spill from the sides of the Cowlitz towers on the Mt. Rainier peak's fringe. Now they do not get any futher than the first barrier dam.
Once again as a sportsman I have battled many of the Cowlitz steelhead over the years and they are an impressive breed for one that has had to survive conversion into rearing ponds, but I have never visited that river without some contemplation on what she must have been like before the adulteration of dams and hatcheries.
Like the Vedder, many cringe at the sound of the name Cowlitz. In certain areas the concentration of anglers is literally shoulder to shoulder. These areas are the result of staging hatchery fish in the thousands concentrated in a single area, a situation created by man. Amazingly, the rest of the river is reasonably populated with anglers and very productive.
Looking beyond the situation that we have created, the river is an amazing, robust, big river that in another context would be considered one of the legendary rivers of our time, had we not messed it up. Still it kicks out incredible numbers of fish as if to defy all the abuse. More than any other in the state in fact. You can't blame the river for her current state, she does her part to produce. It's likely that she will never run free from the headwaters again, sadly.
I hear fom Sean that the Elwha project is going to be moving ahead soon...
Thanks for the current insight on the PNW wild steelhead fishery and I agree with all of your comments. I can see you are very knowledgeable on this. When I fish the PNW again, it will not matter if I catch many fish. Just fishing those rivers and experiencing them after reading about them all of these years will be enough. By the way I have not kept a steelhead since the mid 1980's. Learning fly fishing on the first US no kill trout river (NYS - Beaverkill) in the 1960's instilled in me the catch and release ethics a long time ago. Hope the PNW state governments understand the issues at stake and act accordingly. Many more blue ribbon trout and salmon rivers through out the world need to be no kill in my opinion to save these wild resources for future generations. By the way is that 16K steelhead river the Chiliwack/Vedder in BC ? I fished there while on business in Vancouver in 1985. Not a bad river but I don't think I saw another fly fisher all day. Lots of Silex spin and float fisherman. Had a BC game warden which checked me for proper license and equipment 2 or 3 times that day. I was impressed, fished Michigan for 20 years and been checked twice for license and proper fly equipment. Not enough by any means with all of the other illegal fishing going on in that states blue ribbon trout and salmon streams. The illegal fishing really sickened me to the point where I don't even bother for the salmon any more. Just trout and steelhead and some stream smallmouth bass on the fly rod these days in Mid West.
Best Regards
Yes, the Cascade, Columbia and Olympic streams still have plenty of fish, but the question is are the runs 'healthy'? Run health is relative and the thresholds of escapement/harvest and even catch & release are not and must not be measured by recreational metrics. These are the last remnants of native steelhead in the lower 48, indigenous steelhead hanging on despite dams, logging, tribal gillnetting, siltation of spawning areas, waterway modifications for suburban sprawl. etc. These are native steelhead, the real McCoy, very much a national treasure to be guarded with caution. One only needs to look at atlantic salmon debacle in the northeast to see how quickly such a run can vanish from the face of the earth. The health of these populations is a topic of much debate and lies squarely in the center of a huge social, economical, political and scientific dilemma in the pacific northwest.
For me the urgency in the pacific northwest is not about a fishery, it's about protecting the sacred concept of a fish that wiggles from the gravel in a glacial headwater and battles to survive a 7,000 mile round trip across turquoise seas of the north pacific to find it's natal stream and perpetuate it's legacy as it has for many thousands if not millions of years. It matters enough not to fish a river even when several thousand fish return because there needs to be a threshold of survival to ensure the next generation.
In Washington alone there are hundreds of other places to vent such frustration. Once you include Oregon, British Columbia, and Alaska, there are no excuses for an angler whose pet river has been closed. In fact one Columbia tributary that never closes has produced something in the order of 16 thousand rod and reel caught steelhead in a season. The Columbia River has perhaps a hundred significant tributaries herself, most of which have runs. The steelhead counts on the Bonneville fish ladder during 2001 were up around 700,000 steelhead last I checked. You wouldn't have had any lack of fish to swing a fly at this year, that's for sure. And many of these are summer fish, short sleeves and dry flies for hot summer run steelhead. On top of that there are five species of salmon, sea run trout, and ocean fishing for numerous species but most uniquely the feeding salmon in the ocean on flies.
But I don't want to paint a rosy picture. Not withstanding 2001 returns, the Columbia produces only about 13% of it's salmonid on average when compared to runs during the 1930's, so the impact of our poor fish management practices is undeniable. But it's hard to say that the pacific northwest can be considered unworthy of a visit for an angling venue. All I ever need is the slightest excuse and I am there
Call me a sentimentalist, but for me steelheading isn't about the fish. The magical Skagit and Sauk, Skykomish etc - are legendary places to be never mind fish for steelhead. Even when there are plenty of fish it's not an easy fishery, and even when the runs are down you still might hook a chrome freight train that jumps like a tarpon. When and if you catch up to it, you might find that it is a native, a fish whose years of it's ancestry in that river defies our mere comprehension, and that we had nothing to do with it's being there except for the privilege of the encounter before release to continue it's important calling upstream. It goes much, much deeper than sport. It's downright religious.
I care far more that we as a species are doing the best thing to ensure the welfare of the steelhead as a species than about my angling pleasure. For me it's not whether I get to fish or not, it's whether the steelhead thrives so that I can fish for them without it being a problem. If it is a problem, we should leave them alone.
Despite all that, I am admittedly also an avid sportsman. It's really great to hear that the steelhead are thriving in Lake Michigan tribs and I would really like to come experience this 120 year old wild run you have going. Apart from my passion for the fight for native steelhead in the PNW, I'm sure I would be thrilled to experience the Upper Peninsula winter runs and hope I get the opportunity soon. Thanks for the insightful information on the region. Hopefully we can 'hook up' sometime.
|Took, a look at my PM history book (you got me interested) the original planting there was 25,000 McLoud River steelhead in 1883. From 1880 to 1893 other stockings were done throughout Michigan rivers from the Shasta, Mcloud, Klamath, Wilmette and Rogue rivers which have gentically developed into wild Michigan strains the last 100 years. By 1914 the runs were so thick on the PM that laws were being considered to allow for spearing and netting. They never were. Seeing how big the runs can be now, I can hardly imagine what they were back then. Talk about steelhead heaven, this must of been it !
Yes I know where you were in Muskegon harbor. Lake Michigan is about 90 miles across to the Illinois side from Muskegon. It is almost 400 miles long. They call it a lake but beleive me it is a fresh water ocean. Lake superior is larger. You were about 90 minutes from the PM and 45 minutes from the good fly fishing areas on the Muskegon river. From Grand Rapids north the good trout, salmon, and steelhead fishing starts in Michigan From those piers and breakwaters you saw they have some really hot fishing for steelhead and salmon in the spring and fall. Mostly spin fishing though with spoons. Fly fishing is difficult but possible I guess from the piers and beaches.
Give Michigan a try some time. The rivers there are never no closed due to low returns of fish like what has been happening on the west coast lately. How will I ever plan a steelhead trip out there when you don't know if it will be open or not when you plan to be there ? Have always wanted to fish the Skagit/Sauk, North Fork Stilly, or Olympic Pennisula, Sol Duc, etc.. Will get there soon, hope there are still fish there.
|Wow! Great history, thanks. I will give it a try one of these days. I had a business trip to Muskegon (Shaw Walker) one October and was itchin' to try some fishin'. Got to see the big lake though - very impressive seeing a lake where the other side isn't visible. I walked out onto a big breakwater, fish everywhere - mostly yellow perch and baitfish. Guys fishing were telling me that in the fall the salmon are caught with spoons from the jetty. I drove over the Muskegon but didn't have a chance to stop before high-tailing to catch my flight at Cedar Rapids. Should've stayed the weekend!
Steelhead were stocked in several western Michigan lower pennisula rivers in the 1880's from a couple of west coast strains. However the Michigan DNR thought they were getting rainbow trout ! Some were stocked in the Little Manistee and Pere Marquette (PM). The Michigan fisherman and DNR could not figure out where the rainbow trout went at the following spring's opening day. They were gone (steelhead smolts went to Lake Michigan), and had to fish for the native Michigan grayling which were twindling. Also at that time they started stocking brown trout from Germany into the PM. The PM was the first river in US stocked with browns. At least that is what the fishing history books says. Pretty neat to fish where they first stocked them 100 years ago, which you can do on the PM.
The stocking of steelhead in the Michigan rivers was a wonderful mistake. Legend has the steelhead were not fished for a long time since not many people knew they were there or much about how to catch them, or that they were even in the river until the mid 1900s. This was because the Michigan trout season is the last Saturday in April to September 30th. The steelhead enter the rivers in Oct/Nov and for the most part are out of the rivers by the end of April. I guess not many people knew they were there nor new how to fish for them until the mid 1900s. Michigan gave some rivers a year round open season which had andramous steelhead and salmon. That is when the fly fishing for them started to develop and the locals figured out how to fish for the steelhead. King and coho salmon were stocked in Lake Michigan in the 1960s which also had more fisherman going after them in the rivers. Some old timers I met on the PM 20 years ago told me the steelhead fishery in the 60s was just as good as any place in the world. 20-30 fish on days etc.. Many large wild ones 20 pounds+.
The PM and Little Manistee rivers have had 100% natural wild steelhead for a very long time. The Michigan DNR stocks steelhead in most other Michigan rivers except for the PM and Little Manistee.
You can still have 10 fish days here when you hit it right. That is ten hooked not landed. My best day was 13 on and 3 landed.
PM has a large fly fishing only section (believe about 30 years old)
which last year was also made NO Kill for ALL trout and salmon species. PM has steelhead, king salmon, and brown trout these days all which are wild.
PM is a great river to fly fish and still has great runs. Only problem is the crowds that have developed over the last ten years and drift boats which were not existent when I started fishing it in 1979.
Give Michigan steelhead a try some time. The Big Manistee and Muskegon are the two rivers which equate best to western steelhead fly fishing.
Hal -
I hear you have some huge returns out your way. Any knowledge of the history of the introduction of steelhead, etc? I would love to learn more about it.
|Agree must be something in the sea run strain of trout and salmon that gives them more power and explosiveness. If I had to limit myself to one fish the rest of my life it would be fresh run steelhead for sure. Second would be fresh run King (Chinook) salmon. Both have torn me up more than I have tamed them for sure. It has been hard to go back to regular trout fly fishing after I got introduced to these 23 years ago in Michigan.
The proper comparison would be species in their own oceans IMHO it's not a good practice to alllow strains from one side to intermingle with the other particularly if native strains are at risk.
That being said, my experience with big salmon is more on the side of the chinook / coho / sockeye / chum / pink than with the atlantic salmon but I plan to add a much deeper knowledge of salar in the years to come. I've a better understanding and appreciation for the pacific steelhead than any of these.
From the few A/S that I have tangled with I respect and admire the atlantics' surface oriented ways and leaping skills but each fish has it's own personality and there are steelhead that will defy any fish's abilities pound for pound just as there are chinook that jump and run on the surface while others sound and run around in the depths. Coho are consistent lightning leapers (did you catch the video clip?) and chum salmon are freight trains that break more flyrods than any other species when they are in the river. I would say that the pink is the least battle-worthy of the lot and from what I have seen of seatrout in Northern Europe and Tierra Del Fuego they rank in the fore runners of the sea run species. Another area I want to broaden in my list of experiences.
For me, it's not the comparison per se - it's about each's merits. They will all take drag in a serious way when fresh.
Good luck exploring the world of sea-run species. For me they are the perfect balance of force and finesse on a fly.

JACKSON – Booneville's boys said goodbye this week to a senior class that played in three Class 3A state championship basketball games.
The group, led by high-flying forward Kenny Paul Geno, won the gold ball in 2011 and lost on its last two attempts, including the 45-44 loss Friday to Velma Jackson.
"It's not just (Geno)," head coach Michael Smith said. "He sacrifices a lot to be a team player. They are a lot better people than they are players, and they're pretty good players.
"They've opened a lot of eyes around here with the way they play the game. They try to do what's right. They've meant a lot to our program and they'll be hard to replace.
"You don't always have to win to be a champion."
The seniors are Geno, Daryl Barefield, Antonio Crump, Jordan Miller, Jazz Prather, Ross Smith and Isaiah Witherspoon.
Geno sank a 3-pointer with 32 seconds remaining to pull the Blue Devils to within one, 42-41.
Then with seven ticks left, he fired up another bomb in an attempt to tie the score. The ball bounced twice on the rim and came out.
"You've got to drive and kick. You can't let them set up," Smith said. "They're good defensively. They're going to switch everything on Kenny and Jack (Nichols). You've got to catch them on the run."
Pontotoc's Kayla Russell, even with the final seconds of the clocking ticking down in a stinging 23-point loss, never neglected her duty Friday night.
Her job was to cover Bay High's talented Christa Reed. Russell remained in her face until the final horn sounded.
Reed was 3-of-8 from the field and scored 17. She scored 10 of those on free throws.
"We never gave up," she said. "Nobody thought we'd be anything this year, but we proved we were by coming here."
Pontotoc finished the season 31-4 and won the North Mississippi championship after winning a state title in 2012.
Lady Warriors coach Bill Russell was proud of his entire team's effort against the state's No. 1 team.
"Really, nobody gave us a chance," he said. "I got sick of hearing that. You can't measure what my kids have inside."
There have been a few tweets from fans during the week pleading with Mississippi State coach Rick Ray to come watch Geno play in the state tournament.
Ray was at the Big House on Friday and was waiting around the Booneville end of the coliseum following the game.

"Straight Through: Magellan to Cook and the Pacific," an exhibition focusing on 250 years of Pacific Ocean exploration, runs through Jan. 2 in Firestone Library's main gallery. The exhibition is devoted to 13 renowned explorers, including British mapmaker Capt. James Cook. In addition to maps and books, the display includes this bronze medal featuring a portrait of Cook, issued by the Royal Society in 1784.

Exhibition features rare maps and books on Pacific exploration
Posted July 26, 2010; 12:00 p.m.
An exhibition of historic maps and rare books, focusing on 250 years of Pacific Ocean exploration throughout the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, will run through Sunday, Jan. 2, in Firestone Library's main gallery.
Presented by the library's Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, "Strait Through: Magellan to Cook and the Pacific" covers a dynamic period of global exploration that took place between the 1520s and 1770s. Chronological maps of the Magellan Strait, Pacific Ocean and Spice Islands form the backdrop to exhibition cases devoted to 13 of the most renowned explorers and explorer pairs, including Portuguese sea captain Ferdinand Magellan, who led the Spanish expedition that was the first to navigate around the world; Spanish navigator Alvaro de Mendaña de Neira, the first to reach the Solomon Islands in the Pacific; English sea captain Sir Francis Drake, the second to circle the globe; England's William Dampier, who was the first to circumnavigate the world three times; and British mapmaker Capt. James Cook.
The exhibition covers exploration of the Indonesian archipelago of the Moluccas, or Maluku Islands, commonly referred to as the Spice Islands. The islands figured prominently in the history of the European spice trade. The exhibition includes a clove image (above and above right) taken from Elizabeth Blackwell's 1739 book documenting the medicinal uses of herbs.
"These are fundamental historic maps and narratives, some of which were the first to represent these explorers' discoveries," said John Delaney, curator of the library's Historic Maps Collection. "As such, they were among the first to focus the eyes of Europe on the Pacific."
Among the maps on display will be the first printed map to name the Pacific Ocean, the first printed chart of the entire Pacific Ocean, a colored wall map of the Pacific Ocean considered to be an 18th-century cartographic masterpiece, two of the most decorative maps of the Magellan Strait, the first printed English map of Australia, the first large-scale map of the Moluccas, the earliest map to name all of the Philippine islands, and the first published map to show Cook's last voyage and the first to show Hawaii.
Also on view will be a rare first-state copy of Cook's 12-sheet chart of the St. Lawrence River, the navigator's first major published map, which launched his career. Manuscript parts of the chart were instrumental in the British defeat of the French at Quebec City in 1759. A large-scale model replica of Endeavour, Cook's flagship of his first circumnavigation, also will be shown.
In addition, first editions of related classic literary works will be exhibited, including Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe," Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" and Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere."
The exhibition will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
One of the items on display is the first printed map devoted to the Pacific Ocean. Engraved in 1589, this map initially appeared in the 1590 addition to explorer Abraham Ortelius's famous atlas, which was the first collection of uniformly sized maps. The exhibited copy comes from the 1595 Latin edition of the atlas.

That's my jacket!
[FONT=Comic Sans MS]How extreme a fanboy must one be to claim Barbara Gordon/Batgirl is somehow worse than King Tut, Roddy McDowell as The Bookworm, Zsa Zsa Gabor as Minerva, Vincent Price as Egghead, or Liberace as ANYTHING to do with the bat-verse?[/FONT]
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Louie the Lilac could kick her butt.
The show had some insanely dumb ideas, but the daughter of the police commissioner deciding she wants to play dress up and ending up being an accomplice to the real superheroes is dumber. And it wasn't even unique to the show.
BTW, Egghead isn't technically "TV only" anymore. He appeared in Arkham in an early issue of Shadow of the Bat just over ten years ago. Curiously, though, there's no other appearance, including him being thrown in there. But SOTB was by Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle, possibly the best Bat-team in history, so I ain't questioning it.
That's my jacket!
Heads-up guys, more new Superman figures to look for already.
Mongul, Kal-El (blue/red Supes with sweatin to the 80's headband), Bizarro (black/purple with Bizarro #1 chain) and black Darkseid.
Packaged pics of'em on ebay-
And on the last page of that Fwoosh thread someone mentioned finding the Kal-El on the card for the Steel/Parasite wave so it's possible the others exist on that too.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
Darkseid doesn't look different enough, but the "Bizarro #1" chain might make that repaint worth getting.
That's my jacket!
I think I will get them all.

A buddy of mine called about an hour ago from a Walmart in his town...he found the Mongul figure for me and picked it up.
I can't wait to get it, it looks very nice in the pics!!

No sign of them around here. I also called around back home and no dice. I'll keep my eyes peeled though. and J&H, you should too as you owe a brutha for hooking you up. hehehehehehe
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
I think I've seen these in stores recently.

Need some help defeating the dark forces of Diablo III on PlayStation 3? Check out these top tips from game director Josh Mosqueira.
Hell has been unleashed on PlayStation 3 in the epic pick-up-and-slay role-playing adventure Diablo III. You play as one of humanity's last defenders, facing the undead armies and epic monsters that have come to terrorise the land of Sanctuary for the first time on PS3.
Choose to face the hordes of the Burning Hells as a Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor or Wizard, but beware - the forces of evil could overwhelm any unprepared adventurer. So who better to give some useful help and advice on staying alive – and getting the best loot – than game director Josh Mosqueira?
If in doubt, dodge
Avoid incoming attacks or reposition yourself for more strategic use of your skills with a simple flick of the right stick. This manoeuvre is especially useful for ranged classes – like Wizards and Demon Hunters – but even a Barbarian can appreciate being able to sidestep a fireball.
Always use the best gear
You'll find epic loot everywhere you travel during your quest, so we've provided an easy way to know whether something you've picked up is an upgrade – without having to pause the action. Simply hit the UP button to scroll through the latest pieces of gear you've gathered. A green arrow pointing up lets you know you've found an upgrade . . . so press the CROSS button to equip it and start using it straight away.
There's no escaping your deadly skills
Focusing your attacks can be the most effective way to approach a fight. If you spy a demon that looks particularly menacing, hold down the L2 button to lock on to it; all your attacks will then be aimed straight at its face.
Did someone say "epic loot"?
Diablo III features targeted loot drops, too, so you're more likely to find upgrades that are tailored for the class you're playing. And since this is an equal opportunity treasure hunt, everyone playing together in local co-op games can reap the rewards and get the best from their character class.
Take on hellish monsters
The more you journey through Sanctuary, the more demons and monsters you'll encounter. Be careful when you see a pack of enemies with a blue or yellow glow around them. This glow means they're an elite pack – far more powerful than their peers – and they're also carrying better treasure.
Watch out for Treasure Goblins
You'll meet these greedy little fellows occasionally, each carrying a sack full of riches. Let your team know you've spotted a treasure goblin and focus your efforts on beating the treasure out of them. Watch out, though: these sneaky creatures will try to lure you into packs of monsters as they make their escape.
One sofa to rule them all
It's no fun having to wait around while your local co-op buddy answers the door or takes a bathroom break. Diablo III is designed so that when a break is needed, the rest of the group can keep playing – idle party members will automatically keep up with the group while they're away.
Think you're ready to stare evil in the face and send it back to where it came from? You can pick up Diablo III on PlayStation 3 from our online store now. See you in hell!

caved in and both the Comic Adaption of G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra today at Barnes and Noble.
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Utopia one-shot (It's nice to see Marc Silvestri drawing the X-Men again! )
Uncanny X-Men #513
Dark X-Men #1
Dark Avengers #7
The whole Utopia storyline is pretty interesting so far, it actually looks like they are getting ready to make another major change to Beast again. From what I was reading, I'm willing to bet that they are going to revert Hank back to one of his previous forms. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it's the human form, just to keep him distinguishable from Dark Beast.
I also picked up:
Captain America #601
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 1 - I now understand what all the hubbub about this comic is and why everyone seemed to be so ticked off by the movie. Great story.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Blackest Night #1
Blackest Night Tales of the Corps #1
Blackest Night Tales of the Corps #3
Justice League Cry for Justice #2
Buffy # 27
Walking Dead 63-64: i'm really excited about this series, as always. These last few issues have been insane and i'm curious to see what this new group of trouble makers is up to. I loved how Dale got them back in the end as he was infected. Awesome!
Hulk #13- Don't konw what to make of this issue as if Banner can't turn into Hulk anymore, what am I reading about next month? I don't really want to read a Red Hulk arc again, so we'll see what happens.
Ultimatum 4-5: finished this awesome story up and it was pretty insane to see who got killed and whatnot. I would LOVE to see this turned into a film one day, or maybe a series of films with crossovers and whatnot. Maybe once the Marvel universe is established a bit more on film?
Ult Spidey Reqiuem #2- GREAT last issue of this incarnation of Ult Spidey. I read the new Ult Spidey #1 and didn't care for it. THe story was "eh" and the art was WAY too manga for my tastes. Plus, everybody is pretty much DEAD and where do you go after you destroy half of NYC? I took this series off my pull list, thus ending my reading of ULt Spider-Man.
Ult X-Men Requiem one shot- The end of Ult X-Men. I would've liked to've seen a more definitive end as there is way too much on the horizon, especially for the anti-mutant sentiment that is bound to be brewing, but still, a great issue and ending to a very awesome series.
So the only things I have on pull now are Walking Dead and Hulk (pending where the story goes).
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
Superman Blackest Night #1
Wednesday Comics #8
Green Lantern #45
Even though I love Batman I don't usually buy much in terms of Bat-titles, but the last few months have been good.
Batman & Robin #3 - I'm far more interested in Dick's inner conflict as new Batman than I am in this new jerk Robin.

Couldn't agree more. I've found it interesting how at the end of the test, when talking about the qualifiers with your co-judge, you have those that obviously passed, those that obviously failed and then there are the "we need to talk" dogs. Those are the ones that your really need to have good notes on. Without them you end up relying on your memory for the past two days, and I think this is where a good portion of the "inconsistent" judging comes from. Dogs get passed that perhaps if better notes had been taken would not have passed, and vise versa. People see it and wham, we have inconstant judging. I like to run a couple of dogs on the tests during setup as well. I run the old robot and whatever soon to be master dog I have in the kennel. That way I get a feel for how it looks, and if it's what my co-judge and I want to from the test. Interestingly during many of the setup days I've attended, judges just go with a basic outline and then try and work the kinks out on test day. I hate that, blows time management out of the water doing it that way...Originally Posted by Keith Griffith

The Thread is a good one just illustrates the non-uniformity of master judging, and brings out many of the unofficial rules. Wonder what would happen if you asked the question of the second series, basically the dog pick up 2 clean in the 1st (10) goes a bit wide but gets to the 3rd (hunts tight, stays in the area but has to be put on the bird) (handle #1), second series nails 2 birds overruns the short bird (dog quickly handled) does the dog see the next series? What if the next series is only a double?
Assume scoring would be 10+10+6+10+10+3/6 = 8.1 math-wise a respectable score in marking. But most of the time 2 handles (out) or no clean triple (out).

Finally a food that had her doing much better as long as we stayed on top of her bumps she always gets with a spray with chlorhexidine.
We had her on royal canine prescription rabbit and potatoe and finally things seemed controllable.
Anyhow royal canine just discontinued.
Has anyone ever tried Natural Balance limited ingredient diet, rabbit and potato? Hate to switch at this point but I have no choice. Is NB a decent quality food?
Thanks for any input from someone who has tried this food.

Financials were mostly higher Thursday, with the Financial Select Sector SPDR tracker ETF (XLF) adding 0.8%.
JPMorgan (JPM) was also moving up 0.8% ahead of its earnings report Friday, which will kick off earnings season for the sector. Wells Fargo (WFC), which will report tomorrow as well, was up just 0.1%. Bank of America (BAC) led the pack, gaining 1.7% in morning trading.
Oaktree Capital, which began trading on the New York Stock Exchange today under the ticker OAK was falling 3.7% in recent trading, to $41.43. The company had a disappointing IPO yesterday: As Bloomberg reports, the debt-focused private equity firm raised about $380.2 million, or 27% less than expected. The IPO was priced at $43 a share, at the low end of its range of $43 to $46 a share. The response raises questions about investors' appetite for such stocks ahead of the upcoming IPO for Carlyle Group.

12.17: Finding and Mining Ores
Why is the football team in San Francisco named the 49ers?
Football team names sometimes reflect the history of a region. The San Francisco 49ers are a reference to the California Gold Rush, when immigrants from around the United States came to what would become The Golden State to mine placer deposits. What that has to do with football is anyone's guess!
Ore Deposits
Some minerals are very useful. An ore is a rock that contains minerals with useful elements. Aluminum in bauxite ore (Figure below) is extracted from the ground and refined to be used in aluminum foil and many other products. The cost of creating a product from a mineral depends on how abundant the mineral is and how much the extraction and refining processes cost. Environmental damage from these processes is often not figured into a product's cost. It is important to use mineral resources wisely.
Aluminum is made from the aluminum-bearing minerals in bauxite.
Finding and Mining Minerals
Geologic processes create and concentrate minerals that are valuable natural resources. Geologists study geological formations and then test the physical and chemical properties of soil and rocks to locate possible ores and determine their size and concentration.
A mineral deposit will only be mined if it is profitable. A concentration of minerals is only called an ore deposit if it is profitable to mine. There are many ways to mine ores.
Surface Mining
Surface mining allows extraction of ores that are close to Earth's surface. Overlying rock is blasted and the rock that contains the valuable minerals is placed in a truck and taken to a refinery. As pictured in Figure below, surface mining includes open-pit mining and mountaintop removal. Other methods of surface mining include strip mining, placer mining, and dredging. Strip mining is like open pit mining but with material removed along a strip.
These different forms of surface mining are methods of extracting ores close to Earth's surface.
Placers are valuable minerals found in stream gravels. California's nickname, the Golden State, can be traced back to the discovery of placer deposits of gold in 1848. The gold weathered out of hard metamorphic rock in the western Sierra Nevada, which also contains deposits of copper, lead, zinc, silver, chromite, and other valuable minerals. The gold traveled down rivers and then settled in gravel deposits. Currently, California has active mines for gold and silver and for non-metal minerals such as sand and gravel, which are used for construction.
Underground Mining
Underground mining is used to recover ores that are deeper into Earth's surface. Miners blast and tunnel into rock to gain access to the ores. How underground mining is approached — from above, below, or sideways — depends on the placement of the ore body, its depth, the concentration of ore, and the strength of the surrounding rock.
Underground mining is very expensive and dangerous. Fresh air and lights must also be brought into the tunnels for the miners, and accidents are far too common.
Underground mine.
Ore Extraction
The ore's journey to becoming a useable material is only just beginning when the ore leaves the mine (Figure below). Rocks are crushed so that the valuable minerals can be separated from the waste rock. Then the minerals are separated out of the ore. A few methods for extracting ore are:
- heap leaching: the addition of chemicals, such as cyanide or acid, to remove ore.
- flotation: the addition of a compound that attaches to the valuable mineral and floats.
- smelting: roasting rock, causing it to segregate into layers so the mineral can be extracted.
Enormous trucks haul rock containing ore from a mine site to where the rock is processed.
To extract the metal from the ore, the rock is melted at a temperature greater than 900oC, which requires a lot of energy. Extracting metal from rock is so energy-intensive that if you recycle just 40 aluminum cans, you will save the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline.
A steel mill.
- An ore deposit must be profitable to mine by definition. If it is no longer profitable, it is no longer an ore deposit.
- Surface mines are created for mineral deposits that are near the surface; underground mines are blasted into rock to get at deeper deposits.
- Ore is extracted from rock by heap leaching, flotation or smelting.

Heather Locklear fingerfucking her pussy in the carFriday, April 23rd, 2010
If there's one thing fascinating about the world of Hollywood, it's that time when you find out that some of these stars we least expect to be wild turns out to be more than we imagine them to be. My friends and I were walking down the block in our street in LA when we saw a crowd of paparazzis swarming all over a car. When we got closer we were shocked to see Heather Locklear…this oozing with hotness cougar who I've jacked off a few times when I was younger…in the car…legs spread wide and fingerfucking her juicy cunt. She looked totally drunk off her ass in the back seat. I guess I wasn't really suprised she was drunk she's got a record of DUI in the past but this was totally beyond anything I expected.
She told one of my friends to hop in the car to drive her somewhere and the fours of us more than happily obliged. With the paps on our tail, we drive as fast to this house not far from our street. We got off and went into this huge house. Well it turned out to be the luckiest day of my life because there happened to be a wild orgy party. Heather was fucking wild! In minutes after we arrived she was already on all fours, getting her pussy fucked in different positions as we all watched. My friend took a pic from his camera and well…as you can see…this was one night we, and the whole world of Hollywood would never forget.

" I don't like to buy headphones solely based on people's recommendations without auditioning them first, but the reality is, you often have to because you just don't have the opportunity to audition exactly the models you are interested in due to where you live. The Westone 3 is one such case where I had to rely on internet reviews, and I regret the purchase. The problem with trusting online..." --Lunatique

You may or may not know that we did a very soft launch (no promoting it other than within our Forums) of our Auction system. Everything seemed to go well but I wasn't completely happy with it (the system). I've made some changes and like what George Lucas did, I present our Forum Community first with the new SSG Auctions Special Edition.
You will find it visually more appealing and there are many new features such as the ability to offer a Trade and Wanted Ads and of course, the Anti-Sniping feature is still there. We invite you to try us out, it's FREE to list items to sell and we'll give you $10.00 in credit to use towards fees when you register!
We will start promoting it heavily across the web and print ads so check it out at http://auctions.sirstevesguide.com , help us get it going by adding items and spreading the word that you have laying around and most of all, HAVE FUN!
PS. Everyone has to re-register. From here on out, this will be the final registration process (for those that have registered before).
