Late Bronze Age
discovered Bogor region, west Java, Indonesia
Statue of a standing man
1st-6th century
15.7 (h) x 5.6 (w) x 4.0 (d) cm
National Museum of Indonesia, Jakarta
Excavated in west Java, Indonesia, this figure depicts a standing man wearing a loincloth, headcloth and prominent jewellery. While very little textile evidence survives from Bronze Age Southeast Asia, the antiquity of certain forms of clothing is demonstrated in the attire depicted on anthropomorphic images in metal. Among the most enduring garments is the loincloth, a long rectangular strip of fabric that continued to be worn by men in central Vietnam, eastern Indonesia and the northern Philippines well into the 20th century.

If Biden spent that amount for 180 days out of the year, the total would be around $96,000,000. If we were to look at the amount spent on the "trappings" for our civil "servants", I think the amount might come pretty close to the sequester cuts. Include in the number the amount used to provide Congress with their lifetime benefits each year.
It's really getting annoying hearing about another POTUS "campaign tour" for gun control. It's no wonder that this POTUS has trouble dealing with Congress. He never seems to be in DC long enough to have any idea what's really going on in the cloakrooms.

Republicans reintroduce mining changes
Bill resembles failed bill from last session
MADISON, Wis. - Republican legislators have unveiled another bill to rewrite Wisconsin's iron mining laws.
Assembly Republicans introduced the sweeping, 206-page bill at a news conference Wednesday. They promised the legislation would create thousands of jobs without lowering environmental standards.
"This is the beginning stage of the process and our doors are open," said Republican Assembly Majority Leader Scott Suder, R-Abbotsford.
The legislation closely mirrors a GOP bill that died in the state Senate last March. Under its provisions, the state Department of Natural Resources would have up to 480 days to issue a mining permit, people could challenge the permit decision but not before its made, mining companies could offset damage to wetlands by restoring wetlands elsewhere
Republicans hope the bill will convince a company called Gogebic Taconite to open an iron mine near Lake Superior. Opponents insist the project will pollute one of the state's last pristine areas.
"What it will do in its basics is certainty for an applicant that they're going to be able to get an answer and we will uphold Wisconsin's high environmental standards," said Sen. Tom Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst.
Lawmakers cautioned that the bill itself won't authorize a mine.
"I have said this over and over again: stay calm folks," said Rep Mary Williams, R-Medford. "If the DNR or Army Corps of Engineers or EPA find something they think is going to be detrimental to the environment, there isn't going to be a permit. That's the way it is."
But the head of a committee that held hearings on mining over the fall and winter said this latest bill won't get the state one day closer to a mine.
"They talk about jobs, but the likely jobs that will be created in the next few years will be for lawyers," said Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville.18160330
Cullen said the Army Corps of Engineers, which usually does an environmental study along with the state, told his committee the timeline included in this bill is not long enough.
"The Corps was very clear that if Wisconsin has an unreasonably short timeline, and this is a short timeline of 420 days with another 60 as I understand it, so 480 days, that's completely unreasonable from the Corps standpoint," said Cullen. "It's unreasonable for anyone familiar with mining."
Cullen said he'll introduce his own bill this week. Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, who was the lone Republican vote against the bill last session said he's signed on to Cullen's bill but is keeping an open mind.
"I think we have to see what's in the bill that came today and how it measures up to what Sen. Cullen produced before we begin to negotiate or make comments or debate the issue," Schultz said.
The Army Corps of Engineers this week sent a letter to lawmakers outlining concerns with the Republican bill, including the timeline. The Corps confirmed in the letter that it usually takes two to four years or longer to evaluate mining permits, and it would have to work separately from the state if a shorter timeline is passed.
Republican lawmakers said they'll hold hearings on the bill in the coming weeks.

It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
So, it turns out my view is of the Griffith Observatory, I have to drive down the street for the Hollywood sign. I had a perfect shot but the light turned green and I almost killed myself fumbling the camera phone while driving.
The view out my car window was spectacular today, whether looking at the snow-capped mountains to the east or the city to the south (I did a lot of driving, so a lot of the view was at 65-80mph), and I opened the sunroof so it was a lot of blue sky. Crap, I have a mild sunburn on my forearms.
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.
The view out my window: I am just a couple of miles from the Sandia Mountains to the east of me (location-location) When the sun sets they turn red just before it goes down. Hence "Sandia" which means watermelon in well, I don't know what language, probably spanish.
What's cool is when they are coated in snow it's a surreal pink color.
Right now most of the snow is melted and the pollen from Juniper and Pine is so thick you can see a haze of it when the sun peeps over them. That's the first thing to bloom around here and a major source of sneezing, watery-itchy eyes for me.
You do know that we have plentiful water which we pipe in from the Sierra Nevadas and other surrounding areas, right? And since SoCal is population-dense AND large, we have the buying power to buy up all your water and ship it out here too. Meanwhile, I haven't heard anything great about Pittsburgh's water.Well at least when the water wars begin, we up here won't be thirsty.
Salt water ain't all that cheap to desalinate, JT.
heh heh
Such a poetic post cut down by that last sentence.
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.
Time for an update now that the azaleas are blooming:
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Depending on how far I lean back in my chair [OOOOFPH!!]... sorry. I can see one of three windahs, plus a frosted skylight that shows you nothing (unless a crow walks on it). So I zoomed in and took these wonderful, details pics o' my views:
To the SW, a wall.
To the NW, my backyard.
To the NE, my frontyard.
Amazing, like a candy-coated chocolate, or a Met.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

By Tiernan Ray
James Faucette with Pacific Crest, who has been among the more skeptical of BlackBerry's (BBRY) turnaround, with an Underperform rating, today writes that the level of inventory for the company's recently introduced Z10 handset is "rising quickly" and "already too high in the U.K."
Citing what Faucette wrote on Friday were some discounted prices for the Z10 at U.K. retailer Carphone Warehouse, he asserts that "earlier this week, we also found Phones 4U's website to be offering the discounted Z10 on Vodafone's network."
"We are concerned that such early pricing action combined with high inventory levels may ultimately push the Z10 down market with meaningful negative impact to gross margins," writes Faucette.
From which he concludes:
Our checks indicate that as sell-through run-rates for the Z10 have declined meaningfully in the weeks following launch, we believe carriers and third-party retailers in the U.K. are already well above typi- cally targeted inventory levels. Canadian carrier stores and retailers also appear to be rapidly approaching targeted levels, in our view.
At the same time, however, Faucette cites what appear to be healthy share of recent smartphone sales:
Since launch, we estimate that the Z10 has grabbed about 10% to 15% of the high-end smart- phone market and around 5% to 8% of the total smartphone market in the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, in Canada, we estimated that the Z10 has gained an applause-worthy 15% to 20% of the high-end smartphone market, while garnering roughly high single-digits to low double- digits in terms of total smartphone share.
Faucette provides the following table of estimated sales since the Z10′s debut:
And the subsequent inventory level that he estimates:
BlackBerry shares today are down 6 cents, or half a percent, at $12.75.
Update: In response to reader questions about the discounts that Faucette cites today and in Friday's report, I submitted questions to his office asking whether the discounts were either a) standard discounts by competitive retailers for a hot new product; or b) discounts for lowered subscription allotments, as some suggested (e.g., smaller buckets of minutes, etc.).
In an email, Faucette responds as follows. As regards the first point, "it certainly could be the case," says Faucette, though he adds that "I have never seen these 2 retailers [Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U] discount phones for which they don't have ample supply (but they certainly could/might)."
Faucette adds that "We have seen many cases where "promotional price cuts" by these retailers have led to permanent price cuts," but he immediately qualifies that response by adding, "I would certainly allow that we have seen promotional pricing by those two that did NOT result in permanent price cuts."
As regards the second point, variations between pricing offers, Faucette states, "the cuts were on like for like plans."
Lastly, Faucette adds that "I would point out that our checks found that on-hand inventory had crossed over from typically targeted levels, to 'high levels'."
I haven't yet gotten clarification as to why the charts published have no Y-axis values, though I have asked about that matter as well.

With Chip Startups Dead in Water, SK Telecom Americas Hopes for Silicon Valley Revival
Silicon Valley was built on the invention of the semiconductor and the companies that semiconductors spawned. But most venture capitalists are now more interested in backing Internet startups, which are cheaper and can deliver faster returns.
For SK Telecom Americas, which represents the interests of South Korea's SK Telecom Co. in the U.S., the lack of innovation in core hardware is a problem. So the company has started a new program, the SKTA Innovation Accelerator, to try to bridge the funding gap.
The move was motivated in part by SK Telecom 's acquisition in 2011 of a stake in Hynix Semiconductor Inc., a large maker of memory chips whose customers include Apple Inc.
Venture capital investment for traditional hardware startups has declined over the years to the point where innovative companies are no longer getting funded, according to Min Park, the president of SK Telecom Americas. The dearth of capital also means fewer opportunities for companies like SK Telecom to find and incorporate innovations.
"We all agree it's a serious problem," Mr. Park said.
The telco has now opened a facility in Sunnyvale, Calif., that is expected to house as many as 11 startups. Entrepreneurs are offered as much as $1 million worth of capital, professional services and development tools, and they are paired with mentors in technology, marketing and other core areas so they can quickly develop a minimum viable product. The idea is for startups to graduate in eight to 12 months.
If the startup develops and meets its milestones, it can raise more funding–perhaps from SKTA's corporate venture group and other venture firms and strategic partners–and ultimately get acquired.
So far, the accelerator has received more than 300 applications and has already funded two startups, with more in discussions, Mr. Park said. For the first year, it's allocated $7 million to $10 million for investments.
SK Telecom Americas is also partnering with Walden International and Tallwood Ventures, two firms that have a history of investing in hardware, and is advised by Ken Lawler, now a senior adviser to Battery Ventures.
Mr. Lawler built his career on investing in semiconductors, but the venture community has "pretty much abandoned it" and the government, especially after its problems backing clean-tech startups, can't be counted on to help. So the money has to come from strategic partners like SKTA, he said.
"Is this model necessary, yes. Is it sufficient, no, [but] this type of pioneering is absolutely necessary and the right way to go," Mr. Lawler said. Also, he added, it's a place to send the hardware entrepreneurs who contact him looking for funding and "give them a little hope."

Tribute to an inspirational Wulfrunian
Thoughts are with the family and friends of the inspirational Wolverhampton resident and Wolves fan Steve Evans, whose funeral takes place at the Civic Hall today. Steve's widow Septina, daughters Lauren and Megan, Lauren's boyfriend Adam and Steve's best mate John Price were guests of the club on Saturday and went pitchside at half time to receive a special presentation from Steve Bull (see picture).
Here is the tribute to Steve which appeared in Saturday's programme.
We first got to know of Steve Evans' journey via a broadcast on the Richard Bacon Show on BBC Five Live last year.
To those who haven't caught a glimpse of the story, Steve was - by his own admission – just an ordinary man from Wolverhampton – the 'Man from the Council' - who had spent his working life with the local authority and progressed to the role of Chief Building Surveyor prior to retirement.
And yet, via the worst of situations - a diagnosis of terminal stomach cancer – he ultimately became an ordinary man destined to do extraordinary things.
Like all who do battle with such a terrible disease, Steve faced up to his diagnosis with bravery and courage, and also perhaps with more concern for those closest to him than that of his own mortality.
But, unlike many others, he faced that battle on a public stage, not entirely of his own volition, but following a text sent in to a late night radio show on Five Live.
With the assistance of a fabulously engaging and warm personality, and a humour honed via his 'other' work interests of magic and children's entertaining, Steve's regular appearances on Richard Bacon's show and in other local and national media proved a constant source of inspiration to both his nearest and dearest and indeed thousands who had never – and would never – get to meet him.
And so it was, prior to his passing surrounded by his family in the early hours of Thursday, January 16th, that his Twitter account had amassed over 26,000 thousands followers and that since then a Just Giving site to raise money for Compton Hospice has surged quickly past £10,000. There can surely be no greater tribute than that.
But to turn the clock back, having become aware of Steve's story we made contact to see if he would like to come to a game, to see whether there was anything Wolves could do in some small way to help him along his 'journey'.
It quickly transpired that he was as you might say, a 'Wolves man', who attended many games and was, up until recent years, a Season Ticket Holder.
Favourite team? From the 1970s – as he quickly reeled off the names as if reading from a teamsheet.
Favourite player? John Richards. Whom he later got to know. "I felt I was talking to a God and had to keep reaching out to touch him to make sure he was real!"
Amid the suggestion of maybe a 15-minute interview we invited Steve to the Compton training ground. And 15 minutes turned into two-and-a-half hours!
First off there was a 20-minute chat with Head Coach Kenny Jackett, far better and more incisive an interview than we could ever have carried out.
Then there was a tour of the training ground interspersed with regular interludes of talking to the kitman, the masseur - anyone really who happened to be passing.
And after that a sit-down of maybe an hour or so to tell his story which flew by so effortlessly it seemed like seconds.
The common theme throughout was not about Steve being desperate to talk about himself or how leaving with terminal cancer affected him.
It was more about other people – what do you do? How does that work? How are your family? You get the picture.
During the sit-down interview he spoke of how he met his devoted wife Septina at the age of 16 and that, in relationship terms, was that. "Hadn't had a girlfriend, met Septina, no more complicated than that."
Of how he used to come to the football with youngest daughter Megan until she got a job working in the burger bars at Molineux, or how chuffed he had been to see Travis at last summer's V Festival with his elder daughter Lauren.
He described how guilty he felt about how his diagnosis had affected his friends, and talked of best pal John who was "so close that he has his own biscuits at our house."
But above all there was the humility and modesty whereby he didn't really understand just how inspirational he actually was.
"I do it because people ask me – nothing more than that," he said of the widespread attention to his story.
"Just remember I'm a magician, a performer, someone who craves the attention, and having a life limiting illness offers a very short cut to that....."
And so it was that we were delighted to be able to offer Steve and Megan a route back to those happy father/daughter days watching Wolves when they were guests at the Brentford match back in November.
Steve bought his cards and so, pre-match, we sprung on him the task of doing Molineux's first ever half time magic trick with Steve Bull in the Director's Box.
Quite a difficult test in a sizeable stadium with only microphone but one that Steve passed. He always did.
Steve knew director John Gough well from their working lives and after the match he was invited into the Chairman's Suite to keep Steve Morgan's son – and everyone else for that matter – royally entertained with his mercurial talents.
He also returned, on one of his final outside visits, on Boxing Day as guests of club sponsors What House where he was able to join the aforementioned John, and two more close friends Martin and Phil. By all accounts they had a ball!
On his much-followed Twitter site Steve had previously been mistaken for namesake Rotherham boss Steve Evans.
Well the Millers boss was well aware of his Wolverhampton namesake and had penned a lovely message on a match programme from the game with Wolves six days before Boxing Day which we were able to pass on to Steve.
'Inspiring', finished the message, with the sign-off 'Steve Evans the Second'.
It was also perhaps fitting that the last Wolves goalscorer before Steve's passing had 'Evans' and the number '14' on the back of his shirt.
2014. The end of the journey. But certainly not the end of the impact of a man inducted onto the Civic Hall's Hall of Fame by comedian and pal Jimmy Carr and the Inner Magic Circle in the final months of his life.
For those of us who merely dipped into Steve's journey, and no doubt from others who never even met him, thoughts are with his family and friends ahead of the Civic Hall's first ever funeral – he was quite proud of that - taking place on Monday at 12.30pm.
His was a journey which has carried a substantial impact, a perspective which made people better people, and an attitude which illustrated the indefatigable power of the human spirit.
That message is best perhaps summed up succinctly by the words of the man himself, in an emotional and poignant final interview with Richard Bacon aired just days before his death.
"Love is all around.....and I am so blessed that I have had so much of it around me...."

Don't know how we have missed this:
the per person monthly Medicare insurance premium will be increased from the 2009 premium of $96.40 to $104.20 in 2010, $120.20 for the year 2011 AND Yearly increases to a wonderful $247.00 in 2014.
Looks like about 250% increase in Medicare premium for a 5-year period. Makes it clearer why they can take $500 million from Medicare to put into Obamacare.
For any who thought that the seniors were not going to be paying their fair share of all of this ...
Keep in mind that on top of this basic premium which is automatically deducted from the SS benefit, there is also the need for supplemental coverage, and also scrip drug coverage.
Presumably the benefits will not change; and the govt would like to pay the care providers less for the services provided. This should work out just dandy, don't you think? I'd say that the states who still have Medicaid by then should be taking a big hit with seniors who can't afford the supplemental coverages to their basic Medicare.

text: Yes, Twin Creek Target is in Bellevue. I suppose the best way for you to reach it would be to go down Cornhusker Road until you hit 36th street. Then take a right down past a movie theathre called Twin Creek Cinema about a block away is a plaza called Twin Creek Plaza and the Target is located at the end of the plaza. I havent checked any west Omaha stores in a couple of weeks but the Target on 84th seems to get newer figures in on a good basis. Last i checked the Target on west center road (around 132nd) had pilot Jango's and other older figures. TRU by Oakview mall may one day get some new figures. I was there about a week ago and they had empty pegs (with the exception of the episode 2 preview figures)

Some news which appears to be good from China, and some that isn't: Tibetan filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen has been moved to a women's prison where conditions are not as harsh, according to his friends and associates at the Switzerland based group Filming for Tibet. They say that Wangchen has been transferred to the Qinghai Provincial Women's Prison, the main prison for women in China's Qinghai province. He had been held at the Xichuan labor camp in Siling, in eastern Tibet.

"I remain hopeful that I will one day see the sun once more--not through the barred window of my prison cell but as a free man." -Azimjon Askarov
Today, on International Human Rights Day, CPJ and close to 20,000 supporters are calling on the governments of China and Kyrgyzstan to release two journalists imprisoned for reporting on minorities' grievances and human rights violations.
By Madeline Earp/CPJ Asia Senior Research Associate
Not unusually, an already confusing situation in Tibet just got worse. Twenty-seven Tibetans have self-immolated in protest against Chinese this month alone, according to Human Rights Watch. That's almost one a day. Against this chaotic backdrop, Chinese authorities have issued an arrest order for a missing monk who helped film a 2008 documentary about life in Tibet, according to his film company, Filming for Tibet.
CPJ supporters will know that we just honored self-taught Tibetan filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen with an International Press Freedom Award, recognizing his courage documenting life under Chinese rule with full knowledge that he would face severe repercussions (he is serving a six-year jail term--you can join our petition for his release here). So we've been following with concern the latest reports that his assistant on that project, the monk Jigme Gyatso, has been missing, reportedly detained, since September.
New York, October 3, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists expressed concern today for a missing Tibetan filmmaker whom colleagues fear may have been detained.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

News & Announcements
Centenary College Honors State Organization for Therapeutic Riding
Hackettstown, NJ – HRH of New Jersey (Health and Recreation Through Horses of New Jersey) was honored recently with the Dominick V. Romano Award at Centenary College's Commencement. This award is named in honor of Dominick V. Romano, President and Chief Executive Officer of RoNetco Supermarkets, Incorporated, for his generosity and vision that made possible the incorporation of community service into Centenary's curriculum in 1991. This annual award recognizes individuals or organizations who are role models for Centenary students as they explore and come to understand the impact they can have through service leadership, a hallmark of the Centenary Experience.
HRH of New Jersey was selected for this honor for its outstanding work on behalf of the over 30 therapeutic horsemanship programs in New Jersey. HRH was founded in 1980 by Dr. Octavia Brown, professor of Equine Studies at Centenary, and Barbara Isaac, retired director of Handicapped High Riders of Allentown, N.J. Their vision was to create an organization that would represent the interests of New Jersey-based therapeutic horsemanship programs at the state level. HRH lobbies in favor of the needs and considerations of clients with disabilities, ranging from horse use statutes to land conservation legislation and open space decisions. HRH also hosts national and regional conferences and offers a variety of educational opportunities for therapeutic riding professionals in the tri-state area. Thanks to fundraising efforts, HRH offers scholarships for New Jersey residents to attend national and regional conferences and instructor certification courses.
"HRH of New Jersey was an ideal recipient for the Dominick V. Romano Award this year," says Nancy Paffendorf, Dean for Community and College Affairs at Centenary College. "Its work has made such a difference in so many lives, and it is a pleasure to honor it in this manner."
Centenary students volunteer their time for community service at Therapeutic Riding At Centenary, a member of HRH of New Jersey. In addition, Centenary offers a PATH-approved (Professional Association for Therapeutic Horsemanship) instructor training course for future therapeutic horsemanship professionals.
For more information about HRH of New Jersey or the TRAC program, contact Dr. Octavia Brown at email@example.com or (908) 852-1400, ext. 2174.
Founded in 1867 by the Newark Conference of the United Methodist Church, Centenary College's academic program integrates a solid liberal arts foundation with a strong career orientation. This mix is designed to provide an educational experience that prepares students to succeed in the increasingly global and interdependent world.
Centenary College's main campus is located in Hackettstown, N.J., with its equestrian facility in Washington Township (Morris County). The Centenary College School of Professional Studies offers degree programs online and in two locations: Parsippany and Edison, and at corporate sites throughout New Jersey. The School of International Programs recruits international students for study at Centenary and Centenary students for study abroad.

SHANNON – Not everyone's an athlete, but if you can walk, Pat Carnathan thinks you can win.
"If you move, you're a winner," said Carnathan, the health teacher at Shannon Elementary School.
Back in February, she and the school's Health Council got students, teachers, counselors, custodians and even the cafeteria ladies on their feet for Let's Go Walkin,' a community health program sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi. On Friday, the kids – and grownups – will wind down their friendly competition to see who walks the most.
"The bulk of their walking is at recess," Carnathan said. That's 20 minutes, even if it's a rainy day and kids have to walk circles in the lunchroom.
Pedometers are difficult to keep accurate, so classes are counting minutes rather than steps.
"It's tick-tock, there it is," Carnathan said, adding that teachers are keeping time with stopwatches provided by Blue Cross Blue Shield.
The company also provided posters the school is using to chart the walkers' progress. So far, third-graders are in the lead, with 1,648.28 minutes, and the fourth-grade is in second place with 1,192.16. Fifth-graders have 846.42 minutes, and the sixth-grade is behind with 520.52.
Members of the Beta Club are tallying weekly and monthly totals, sponsor Bobbie Lampkin said, and that's where learning comes into play.
"They have to calculate by hand," Lampkin said, "which also prepares them for the upcoming MCT2."
Teachers also have noticed some changes in the classroom, where some students find it hard to sit all day.
"I like it because it gives the kids a break," third-grade teacher Erin Watson said. "Between our subjects, we get up and take a walk. It's easy to do."
So far, Watson's class is in the lead for the contest, whose winner gets a trip to the HealthWorks! children's museum in Tupelo. She's also ahead of other staff members, who've walked a total of 7,049.01 minutes. That winner will collect a cash prize.
But again, everyone's a winner.
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you play the game, just like baseball," said Coley Aldridge, 9.
And besides that, Coley said, "Walking makes you healthy and gives you strong bones."

|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
In addition to the good advice above, the leader length varies depending on the situation:
a) floating line, clear water, light flies - opt for at least a 9 foot leader tapering down to a tippet size that matches the fly and the fish you hook
b) sinking line, clear water - shorten the leader down to 5-6 feet to bring the fly down while still minimizing the visibility of the sinking line
c) sinking line, low light or turbid water, big fly - I have effectively used leaders of 3' in these conditions without much concern especially where the presentation puts the fly first to the fish (downriver swing for instance)
d) Floating Spey taper - leaders of 10-12 feet are common, primarily because the rod lengths are very long (13-16ft)
There are some good leader 'recipes' in the leader section
|Generally, apart from what Solo says, 150 to 200 yards is plenty for Saltwater, striper, blue fish and just about for bones and albies.(depends on the pound test as well... 30 pounds is the general) The fly lines vary but genarally 100 feet is about the length
It all depends on the size of the reel and the weight of the line. I hope "they" sold you a matched/ballanced outfit...
Anyway, one way to go is to load the flyline on the spool first then load the backing on top to fill the spool. Then head down to the local soccer pitch or open area where you can strip it all off and reverse the loading...Backing on first then the flyline. The flyline box usually has the necessay basic knots to get it all in working order...if the knot doesn't look right, tie it again! Your local shop can be a real help when your just starting out.
As you progress and add specialty lines to your list of gotta' haves, you will probably go to what's called loop to loop connections...to ease changing from one line to another.
'Sounds like it's time to do a little home work and read up on the basics and ask alot of questions...find a shop and if you take care of them, they will take care of you!
Good luck and wade safe!
Backing and Lead
Im new to Fly Fishing and was wondering, how many yards should your backing line be? The Same for the lead line.

|>> Archive: Warmwater Gamefish Flies Freshwater Bass, pike, muskie?!?
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Dble Haul
|That's nice and bulky. It looks like a winner!
Here's the recipe:
(May sound complicated but it's easier to tie than to describe :hehe: )
3/0 bass bug hook
Heavy-duty thread
Mono weed guard
24 guage copper wire rib
Yellow rabbit fur strip, 3/8" wide, 3" long
Red floss head
Lash a loop of 20# or 30# mono to the hook shank so you can create a standard mono loop weed guard. Lash the copper wire to the shank with the end extending off the back of the hook. If necessary, build up the thread on the hook shank so that you can fold the rabbit strip around the shank and have the edges meet on the bottom of the shank without bunching up or overlapping. The thread should be at the tail end of the shank at the point where the wire extends from under the wraps. Place the rabbit strip along the top of the hook so the front end is almost flush with the hook eye. Part the hair where it lines up with the thread and the wire at the tail end of the shank, and make a few wraps of thread around the strip where the fur is parted so that the strip folds around the shank from the top. Tie a couple half-hitches to secure the thread and then bring the thread around the shank but under (in front of) the rabbit strip. Hold the front section of the strip out of the way and wrap the thread forward almost to the hook eye and secure the thread. Apply a light coating of head cement along the shank, then lay the strip along the top of the shank, stretching it forward a bit, and tie the front end down just behind the hook eye. While the cement is still wet, fold the edges of the strip down around the shank and wrap the wire forward, parting the hair as you go so that the wire wraps around the skin and not the hair. Tie down the end of the wire. Bring the mono weed guard forward and tie that down. Form the head with thread and cover it with red floss (or just form the head with red thread and skip the floss) then coat the head with cement and/or epoxy.

As good as Grandma's, this dessert overflows with juicy apple slices and sweet figs.
Use your food processor to make fresh bread crumbs in seconds. Tear the bread into pieces and place in processor bowl. Cover and process, pulsing 4 or 5 times, until coarse crumbs are formed.
In place of 2 teaspoons of apple pie spice, use 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon each of ground cloves and allspice, plus a pinch of nutmeg.

Coaching Background
Chad Hanson was named the Dordt women's volleyball coach in December, 2010. In April of 2015 it was announced that Hanson was selected to lead the men's volleyball program at Dordt in its transition from a successful club team to a varsity sport. Prior to his time with the Defenders Hanson was an assistant coach at the University of Georgia from 2008 to 2010. In November of 2010 he was named interim head coach of the program, guiding them to a 4-3 record in the final weeks of the season. Prior to his time in Georgia, Hanson served in a similar role at the University of Iowa. He has also made coaching stops at the University of Idaho, Washington State, and Colton High School (Washington).
Coaching Philosophy
Scripture calls us to love God and love our neighbor. We strive to sharpen each other through the sport of volleyball in those two areas. This is done through selflessness and humble service in a volleyball community that encourages and exhorts one another toward excellence. We focus on four areas of growth for our athletes:
- Teammate
- Classmate
- Prayer Partner
- Citizen
At Dordt
In his time at Dordt, Hanson has a career record of 81-52.
His 2013 squad qualified for the NAIA National Tournament, finishing 11th. That same team also featured NAIA Freshman of the Year, Brooke Wolterstorff. Under his guidance, the Defenders have had three NAIA All-American players, three GPAC Freshmen of the Year, and beaten a number of top ranked teams.
Athletic Background
Hanson played collegiately for two seasons at the University of California-Irvine before finishing his career at Washington State with the club team. His club team finished as the Bronze medalists at the NIRSA National Division I Championships.
Academic Background
B.S. Washington State University
Hanson has a wife, Karla, and three daughters.

Results 1 to 4 of 4
Boredom = Revamp tank. Need advice.
Thanks ahead of time for reading this looong post and for advice.
At this current time I have a ten gallon tank with six neons, some shrimp and assassin snails. I am planning on upping the stock of neons to 12 or adding another type of fish. I'm not sure about that one yet.
My tank has a black background with black aquarium sand, Mopani driftwood and live plants.
Here's the lowdown on my plants. I have an Anubias anchored to the driftwood that I bought maybe 8 months ago. It doesn't appear to have grown a wink since I got it, but it's still a lush green and has not had any dead leaves. If I didn't know better I'd swear it was plastic. I have some java ferns all over that have produced many little plantlets over the last several months and in the center I have an amazon sword that has tripled in size since I got it.
The sad thing is that the java fern and the sword suffered in my recent tank disaster in which an entire bottle of prime was dumped into my tank. Ever since that happened, the leaves turned brown on the java ferns and the leaves on the sword sort of seemed to waste away and leave a lacy skeleton of themselves behind. Because of this I have recently trimmed all those lacy dead leaves away from my beautiful amazon sword and I'm just watching to see if it recovers. With the java fern I just left them alone hoping that they would also grow new plantlets again.
My light is not the standard light that came with the tank kit. It's a hood that I bought separately on the clearance rack at the fish store. It has a single florescent light bulb in it. I can't find the wattage listed anywhere on the bulb or the hood itself. Anyone have any ideas where to find that?
My husband has an irrational fear of fish. It was all I could do to talk him into the ten gallon tank when I brought it home from a friend's house one day. I don't think I'll ever be able to talk him into letting me upgrade to a 55+ gallon tank so I'm stuck with what I have. I feel a constant need to fidget and do stuff with my tank so I decided to try planting it heavily and set up some DIY C02.
Can anyone direct me to a good light for a ten gallon tank that would support a high maintenance planted system with C02? I need to have a full hood to keep the cat out, I can't have a light that just sits over an open tank. My search results for this thus far have been pretty disappointing, so I thought I'd come right out and ask.
Also, I'm quite happy with my aquarium sand, but I could switch to a flourite or some other type of nutrient rich substrate. Would I need to do this or would root tabs be sufficient? I don't even know what plants I will be getting. This is just an idea in the making. I've already ordered the tubes and valves for the C02 system from amazon and I'm just looking for help planning the lighting, substrate and types of plants.
Any suggestions or advice you have would be of huge help to me. Thanks!~Manna
120 gallon FW bowfront in progress
You could get a HOt5 or power compact fixture and build a canopy around it. That is what I did for my tanks.
You could use fertilized sand but your best bet would be a substrate that has a high cation exchange capacity. This product for instance is cost effective and comes in different color options.
12 neons in a 10 gallon... that's like 45 liters? Awful lot of fish for something that size.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
Aeonflame - I like that substrate! And I think it's reasonably priced. I'm definitely going to consider that as a possibility pending a decision on which plants I will use.
How would one go about building a canopy? Is it something I'm likely to be able to figure out depite not being an extremely handy person? I do have a big shop of tools at my disposal.
Tallduchie - With an AC 30 and a good weekly water change schedule, I feel like that stock is okay for a 10 gallon. Neons have a very small bioload. Before my prime spill incident I had 12 and never had a spike in ammonia or nitrite and very little nitrates. Stocking is such a subjective thing and you have to take into consideration the type of fish and the maintenence schedule too.

What's A Transpoosion?
A transfusion is when a patient is given someone else's blood...a transpoosion is a little different
Calling In The Little Guns
The discovery of penicillin and the development of antibiotics has saved untold lives. One of theories that led to the development of antibiotics was the "Germ Theory" which identified microorganisms as the source of many, if not all, diseases. These tiny "bugs" were identified as the source of great misery. But science marches on and we now know that all "bugs" aren't bad. Many are benign, many are beneficial and many of these live inside of humans and, it seems, all animals. This situation which was unseen when antibiotics were developed has led to a complex situation.
So Clostridium diffcile is bad news. But does this apply to all species of the genus Clostridium? Think about it, take a guess and now watch this and find out.
So what about the "good" bacteria? Just how important are they? You can find more here.
So what does all this have to do with "transpoosions"? What is a "transpoosion"? Well, "transpoosion" is a term coined for a medical procedure which shows great promise in treating difficult medical conditions and restoring people to health. It turns to an interesting area for a solution. As a matter of fact, it turns to a fecal solution.
Extension Investigation
Use the resources below to answer the following questions:
- What problems have arisen with Clostridium difficile from the use of antibiotics?
- How does Clostridium difficile cause diarrhea? How does this diarrhea benefit the microorganism?
- What kind of safety practices can help people avoid spreading disease? Which one of these has not been successful with Clostridium difficile?
- Are other species of bacteria in the genus Clostridium harmful? Are all species in this genus harmful?
- How well are microbes living in an animal's gut adapted to living in that animal? How well are animals adapted to living with the microbes in their gut? Explain your answer as fully as you can.
- How many of the genes contained within humans come from human DNA? Explain your answer and reasoning.

CR7904: Hammond Cruiser
Columbia River Knife & Tool
Jim Hammond's Cruiser is a multi-purpose folder that has garnered much praise.
The Cruiser abounds with design subtleties. For example, the handle features a forward slanted friction grooved thumb ramp and a deep finger choil for the index finger, allowing what is known as the "fencer's grip".
To simplify the clean open build, a unique blade stop channel is CNC machined within the blade. This in turn, allows a friction grooved, tapered blade extension (or flipper) which aids opening the Cruiser, and then neatly completes the finger choil. It has been called "the sweetest flipper in the business."
In translating Jim's custom Cruiser into production, Columbia River used their extremely durable InterFrame build with 420J2 stainless steel liners, one locking. The injection molded black textured Zytel scales featuring their Operator's Grip are radiused and contoured with swells to perfectly fit the hand. The long handle, with a pronounced pommel, feels secure and entirely right.
Their work and sport version of the Cruiser use tough 8CR14MoV stainless steel for the clip-point blade. It has a high hollow grind that curves upward near the tip and a long false top edge, making it an exceptionally versatile work tool. Dual thumb studs and Teflon blade bearings at the blade pivot allow smooth one hand opening and closing.
They've also incorporated the patented Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®) into the Cruiser, which makes the folder a virtual fixed blade when engaged.
To give the Cruiser maximum utility in a variety of work situations, Columbia River had Jim design a special paddle style pocket clip, which can be attached in four positions: tip up, tip down, left or right. (The Cruiser is not designed for tip-up in-pocket carry.) Two clips and extra torx screws are included. The stainless steel clips are Teflon plated.
- Blade Length: 3.75" (9.5 cm)
- Blade Thickness: 0.14" (0.35 cm)
- Steel: 8CR14MoV Stainless Steel, 55-57 HRC
- Handle: Closed length: 5.25" (13.1 cm)
- Weight: 6.1 oz. (173 g)
- Made in China
UPC Code: 794023790405
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
A nylon polymer that is lightweight and extremely durable, Zytel can be shaped and textured to provide excellent grip.
Considered a value steel, 8Cr13 steel provides adequate corrosion resistance but with slightly more carbon than AUS-8, it will sharpen up and hold an edge better.

Got that site ported last year - used open source - no extra programming required, in the end, so didn't write about it here.
Otherwise none.
Embarrassing what I haven't done in the past year. Working a 12-hour rostered shift is my only excuse. The hours are interesting but the work is fun - big iron - yum.
Ashka died last April, while I was working in Taipei. He was only a year old. Both of my housemates were looking after him in their own way and Sus was visiting to feed him daily. I'm told he seemed happy enough and was still eating. One day, they came home to find him dead on the side of the road. Apparently he didn't have a scratch on him, so either he died instantly in a car accident or was poisoned. I miss him terribly.
Mardi Gras
Visited Sydney again, marshalled the parade again. The party was good, but taxi services were appalling. Waited two hours for a cab before cancelling our booking. This year's slogan was Walk a mile in our shoes for the obvious reasons (after last year's law-reform wins, we've had a year of backlash... c'est la vie) and because the march is a mile long. Again, it was more political than in the late '90s.
I've moved to the 'burbs and though I miss the Toorak mansion, I love my home with Sus. It's closer to work and has roses, lots and lots of roses... and lots of space.
Long Silences
Again, I'm going to promise myself not to write until I've done some open source. Or something productive to support the community. Or if another year passes....
The only thing I can claim to have done in the last year is to present a paper on E10K to the national AUUG (Australian Unix and open systems Users Group) conference. Not exactly open source, but it was open information and people had been very interested in the subject.
At least I'm not drowning the signal in noise if I post only yearly ....

Activities of the CAHDI
Under its terms of reference, the CAHDI is required to "review recent developments regarding international disputes, namely cases before the European Court of Human Rights involving issues of public international law".
The CAHDI has addressed this issue since its 34th meeting (Strasbourg, 10-11 September 2007), the aim being to review cases (both cases pending and judgments and decisions) before the European Court of Human Rights involving issues of public international law.
In practice, this agenda item is dealt with orally at the meetings. National delegations refer to and comment on cases in which they are parties or in which they have a particular interest.
This CAHDI activity has two main benefits:
- keeping states informed of current cases;
- highlighting the great interaction between the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights and public international law. The Court often reiterates that the Convention must be applied in accordance with the principles of international law.*
This issue has acquired a new perspective and new significance in the light of the on-going negotiations on the question of EU accession to the European Convention on Human Rights.
*See, in particular, Streletz, Kessler and Krenz v. Germany [GC], No. 34044/96; 35532/97; 44801/98, §90, ECHR 2001-II, and Iglesias Gil and A.U.I. v. Spain, No. 56673/00, §51, ECHR 2003-V.
Special guests
At the CAHDI's 19th meeting (Berlin, 13-14 March 2000), Mr Theodore Meron, Professor of Public International Law at New York University School of Law, presented his report on the Implications of the European Convention on Human Rights for the Development of Public International Law, which was subsequently published (see Appendix III to the meeting report).

Here is a little exercise taught to me by the late Roy McFall...He would have me put a squawking banty rooster in a round cylindrical pen/cage...I would then walk/heel the dog past the banty on the way to setting a sight blind...the dog would inevitably take a look or even wind the bird, at which time I would tap the dog with a heeling stick and tell them "leave it"
Now I set the sight blind a good 75-100 yds past the rooster but to where the dog has to "shave the nose " of the rooster on the intended line...as we walk back to the line on the same exact line, I again remind the dog that the rooster is "off limits"
I will then run the sight blind...if the dog hangs up or sucks to the rooster we make a correction..sometimes the sequence will have to be repeated or even variations where a banty is thrown right off the line...the dog is told to leave it, and sent for the blind
and FTR ..We train without a collar and no FF..we do however teach a type of force hold, I do not use a stock prod, rat shot,or a slingshot...I do not use M&M's or treats (except for little parlor tricks)..I do not beat my dogs nor brutalize or abuse them..I will use a heeling stick, a short rope..I do not use force to make the dog go...I use the attraction of the bird/prize to pull the dog to its desired location...
Weekend trials generally devoid of water work - sort of like (sorry, Eug) Aston Villa's goal differential this season...
From the KC "J" regsMG10. Water Retrieves
a. In Open and All Aged Stakes, the water retrieve is a blind retrieve from across water. If a dog returns by land, it should not be penalised for this unless it wastes time thereby.
As crackerd posted, very few. Even on ordinary shoot days there won't be many; just in the way that a lot of US sportsmen have developed their interest in duck hunting over decoys, so in UK the driven scene looms large. So the specialist retrievers in the US work in a lot of water, but in UK we have a heavy exposure to heavy numbers on land, and of course you can expect ground game. What you term upland and we call "rough shooting" are pretty much the same.does anyone know what kind of water retrieves you would see at a British field trial?
Two Fridays back I actually had six water retrieves on the bounce; all pheasants that had landed in a lake. By your standards they were pretty simple, nothing over 50 yards and only one blind. The following Wednesday I had to have the dog in question put down which was a real punch in the face. But still, as a Villa supporter you get used to disappointment.
MG ....it was "Eddie"one of the pair I had from Jeff, I've told him about it. As you know he had a really cruel trot with his dogs a couple of years back, but he's doing well with them now. Given up Trialling, and judging too, and seemingly happier for it.

Thank you, very kind, Mine's a pint.
Not sure what J Regs you have got now Crackered, but there is no stipulation that FTs have a blind retrieve across water at all for retrievers, although dogs are required to gain a water certificate to gain their FT Champion status...
So, in this respect, water work is not our major focus.
Summer working tests are much more likely to have water elements, across rivers, ponds etc, but nothing like the technical retrieves you see in your sport. However, dogs also have to cross many different types of obstacles (such as multiple fences, stone walls, gates, ditches, dykes, going through hedge lines, woods, cover crops etc) and this requires just as much discipline from our dogs in holding their course and not deviating from the line. Dogs requiring a lot of handling and re-casting in the face of these obstacles would be penalised.
km, ta for clarifying - my J regs may be outdated (couple years old). But "making the" or "making their" water retrieve (singular) has been a staple of all the IGL champs I've been attuned to, at least the last decade or so.
Eug, sorry to hear about Eddie - you did a'right by them two, bless you for it. Hope the squire of Chatston Gundogs resurfaces in the FT game with his sangfroid still "Always Look(ing) on the Bright Side of Life" - a gem, he is.
I think the water retrieve at the IGL sometimes is more a 'crowd pleaser' than anything else, if it happens!! Certainly didn't happen at Blankney 2009 and Nevill Holt 2011 among the recent ones. Let's face it, all our dogs can swim, so that is not really what we are 'testing'. There is more focus on game finding ability, marking, scenting, style and then working in-tune with the handler to seemingly pick the birds with ease...
When I think of British Labs only one comes to mind for me. HRCH Ellie MH owned by Gulfcoast. A very nice a dog indeed regardless of her breeding.

Post from Biz Buzz Blog:
So, here's the new 11-th generation Toyota Corolla… what do you think?
Toyota introduced its newest design Thursday night in California, and the world's best-selling car – nearly 40 million have been sold through the years – definitely has a different look.
The first built Corolla was built in 1966 and introduced to the U.S. in 1968.
In North America, the Corolla is built in Canada, and of course, here in Northeast Mississippi in Blue Springs.
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi rolled out its first Corolla in October 2011. Production of the new Corolla should begin in August, and cars should begin hitting dealer's lots sometime in the fall.
The new Corolla has a longer wheelbase, giving it a better ride and more interior room. Toyota also said highway mileage should be north of 40 mpg.
The Corolla will come in four trim levels.The L, LE, and S models are all powered by a 132-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. They'll come with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The L and S also will have an optional six-speed manual transmission.
A new LE Eco model gets a 140-horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine.
The car will come with eight airbags and Bluetooth connectivity. And all models will feature LED headlights.

DIY 45 Gallon Sump
Im currently building a acrylic 45 Gallon Summp for a 100 Gallon custom Acrylic African Cichlid tank. Here is my idea. It is a version of the ecosystem sump/refugium with freshwater miracle mudd in the refugium.
Planning 2 4inch filter socks suspended over bioballs then flow to refugium. Out of refugium through sponge in between baffles out to return area. Sound good or Should I change things up. Cant see paying $500-$800 for a ecosystem sump. Included photos of biuld. Nothing is cemented yet.
I've never made a FW sump, so my only suggestion would be to make it hold as much water as possible while still leaving room for drainback should you have a powerfailure or your return pump dies.
The below link is for SW sumps, but it would likely give you a few more ideas

Thanks that was a very informative link!
I hate sumps on freshwater, just get a Fluval FX5. It is more effective (no open system can compare to the mechanical capacity of a closed canister).
If you go ahead with the sump:
1-Never go all the way to the top with baffles. If the 1" gap is blocked you flood. This is unlikely but possible. Always leave a 1" gap above baffles as a 'worst case oh crap' backup plan.
2-Don't use bioballs. Just leave the space under the filter socks empty. Bioballs just create extra work for you and/or become a nitrate factory.
3-Miracle mud can be a pain in sw, and is not beneficial in fw. No substrate.
4-The nutrient production in fw is much greater than in sw and therefore refugiums can have a much smaller impact. In fw it is very easy to do larger weekly water changes which are 100x better than a refugium (water changes are always the main goal).
5-No sponge after refugium. This is a good way to clog it and cause a flood or at least another thing for you to maintain or else it becomes a nitrate factory.
Like I said, I would save myself a lot of hassle (and probably money) and just go with a Fluval FX5.Aquarist since 1995

I know this is a rather old thread but I wanted to comment about sump filtration systems for anyone searching.
IMO sump systems are way superior to canister systems for two main reasons.
- Amount of media you can place in them (of course depending on your size sump tank) can be HUGE.
- Extra water volume. I don't know of any canister system that can hold 10+ gallons of water, at least affordable ones that is.
Plus there more versatile than canister systems. Have you seen a canister filled with live plants.
I have no beef with canister systems, they're the easy route and preferred for those who can't complete DIY projects. For many they don't have the time or patience to create their own sump filtration system. If you do some research, plan, look for deals on equipment, etc you can build your own filtration system for a fraction of the cost of equivalent canister system.

"processing one product into another" this is known as the nitrogen cycle
Levels of Nitrate coincide with the necessary materials (Ammo to Nitrite) to produce it. You can't make 30 dozen cupcakes with only enough ingredients to make 1 dozen. Well actually you probably could, they would just be extremely small cupcakes. I think you get the point.

Just a added hint, I always install sensors top and bottom and wire them so they will shut everything down in an emergency

You turn the sensors upside down to measure bottom water and right side up to measure top water. Wouldn't have a sump without them. They have saved me many times.

Home>About Us>Press Room>2008 Press Releases>Revelation
An exhibition of twenty nine specially commissioned prints created by members of Graphic Studio Dublin and invited artists will open in the National Gallery of Ireland from Wednesday 9 April until Sunday 28 September 2008. Admission is free.
The concept for the exhibition dates back to 2005 when Graphic Studio Dublin (GSD) approached the National Gallery of Ireland with an idea for an exhibition of prints on a specific subject matter. In collaboration with the Gallery, 'Revelation' was chosen as the theme for the show. In dealing with the profound concept of revelation - to make known something hidden - many of the artists and printmakers chose to embrace religious concepts of revelation, whilst others focused on the philosophical, scientific or secular dimensions of the topic. For many of the participating artists, the Gallery's collection has been the source of inspiration for their creations.
Of the twenty nine artists involved, eighteen are printmakers who devised and executed the work themselves. Expert printmakers from GSD, Robert Russell and Tom Phelan, assisted non-print artists to translate their ideas into print form. The prints in the show feature a variety of techniques from mezzotint to carborundum, and from etching to collography.
Anne Hodge, curator of 'Revelation', says that the response to the idea has been wonderful: "Part of my job was to facilitate artists by providing access to the Gallery's collection. Some artists found this helpful while others preferred to spend time with the paintings without outside interpretation or explanation."
Among the artists featured in the exhibition are: Pamela Leonard, Cliona Doyle, Brian Lalor, Yoko Akino, Stephen Lawlor, Robert Russell, Clare Henderson, Tim Goulding, Jean Bardon, Tom Phelan, Lina Nordenström, Terence Gravett, Yoko Hara, Nickie Hayden, Sharon Lee, Maev Leneghan, Siobhan Hyde, Kelvin Mann, William Crozier HRHA, Guggi, John Kindness, Carmel Benson, Mary Lohan, Maeve McCarthy RHA, Martin Gale RHA, Donald Teskey, Seán McSweeney HRHA, Nigel Rolfe and Marta Wakula-Mac.
Raymond Keaveney, Director of the National Gallery of Ireland, says that this exhibition represents the second collaboration between the National Gallery of Ireland and Graphic Studio Dublin, following the wonderful success of Art into Art in 1998: "We are most grateful to all those artists who have contributed to this collaborative venture exploring the nature of revelation and to share with us their insights on this most mysterious and profound concept. This exhibition provides a wonderful vehicle for managing a dialogue between the National Gallery's collection and contemporary art practice."

Okay, I got my wish granted and recieved a hobbyists power tool for xmas. I wanted a dremel but got a Minicraft version instead. It's basically the same tool but made by someone else obviously. I think it actually is the original hobbyists power tool range but I could be mistaken.
The point of this is to ask if you guys in the States have this make of tools and how it compares to Dremel performance wise.
Mine came with the mains adaptor with variable speed control and various attachments and bits etc.
I haven't used mine yet as I don't have a project that requires it. Any tips on using a dremel type tool?
What's the best attachment type for hollowing out heads for instance?
What's the best place to visit to look at tips and tricks?
Help is very much required and appreciated.

This Congressional Research Service report outlines the background and history of recent Navy irregular warfare and counterterrorism activities, a number of which may pose critical oversight issues for Congress.
The Navy for several years has carried out a variety of irregular warfare (IW) and counterterrorism (CT) activities. Among the most readily visible of the Navy's recent IW operations have been those carried out by Navy sailors serving ashore in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many of the Navy's contributions to IW operations around the world are made by Navy individual augmentees (IAs)—individual Navy sailors assigned to various DOD operations.
The May 1-2, 2011, U.S. military operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan, that killed Osama bin Laden
reportedly was carried out by a team of 23 Navy special operations forces, known as SEALs (an acronym standing for Sea, Air, and Land). The SEALs reportedly belonged to an elite unit known unofficially as Seal Team 6 and officially as the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU).
The Navy established the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) informally in October 2005 and formally in January 2006. NECC consolidated and facilitated the expansion of a number of Navy organizations that have a role in IW operations. The Navy established the Navy Irregular Warfare Office in July 2008, published a vision statement for irregular warfare in January 2010, and established "a community of interest" to develop and advance ideas, collaboration, and advocacy related to IW in December 2010.
