|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Wish I'd seen your post sooner.
When I lived in Oregon City, I fished the Clackamas religiously. Although my focus was primarily Steelhead, there's a good run of "sea-run" cutthroat that would be fun on your 5 wt. Just up-stream from the Hwy 205 bridge, on the west bank, there's a cluster of submerged boulders -- cast around these in the evening and see what comes up.
If you get a heavier outfit sometime, there are Steelhead in the Clackamas literally year-around. A wonderful fly-drift is about 1/2 mile upstream from the 205 Bridge (river makes a sharp bend at the water intake station -- go about 1/4 mile upstream from there on the east band). This is an early morning, before the jet-sleds start pouring through thing. But I've caught a lot of nice fish there throughout the year, depending on water height and clarity.
The shad run should be going strong on the Willamette as of now. You'll need a sinking line to get down to them, but I've had reasonable luck from shore fishing beneath the 205 bridge. It's much better if you can get out in a boat -- just fish where you see the other boats upstream from Clackamette Park. Get your fly down deep and hold on. Should be a blast on a 5-wt.
Good luck. You'll find there's plenty of fishing within a few miles of home.
|Yes hit the Clack for starters since you're right there, the Sandy is awesome you also have the Deschutes which is a must summer/fall. If you have a WA license check out the Klickitat, Kalama, Cowlitz is good fun too. Or down the coast you're in a good spot.
Texas Here
I am heading up to Michigan for a weekend and was wondering if there are any good reports out of like Gobbles side of town. This will be my first time fly fishing up north
New to Fly Fishing in Oregon
Hey everyone,
My name is Daniel and I'm currently living in the Oregon City Beavercreek area and I'm just getting started into fly fishing. I've normally fished for Salmon and Steelhead using just spinwheel fishing but thought I'd give this a try. I'm currently using an Echo Solo rod and reel combo at a 5 weight. I guess I'm primarily looking to see what is around the area in terms of trout and which flies you recommend. The Clackamas river is really close to my location as well as Willamette, but I doubt there is any fly fishing going on in the Willamette. Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!

- Description
This village of white-washed, thatched cottages has South Africa's only slave freedom memorial. Moravian missionaries founded Elim in 1824 and named the village after the place where the Israelites rested after crossing the Red Sea. In addition to Gospel teaching, they mastered crafts such as thatching and polony-making for which the people of Elim are still renowned.
Many of the country's
rarest plant species are indigenous and the town has a thriving wild flower export
industry. The Old Mill Tea Room is popular for its products made from flour
ground at the Mission's Mill. The Old Water Mill built in 1833 has the largest
wooden water-wheel in South Africa and is still in use.
The mission church in the centre of the village is a National Monument.
Elim has the only monument honoring the liberation of slaves in all of South Africa.

Student for now :-)
Damn it, I should had wrote about it a couple of days ago. Anyway, it happened last Friday (20080222), my last day at work. After 4.5 years (exactly 4 years, 6 months and a week), I quit my job to dedicate more time for my "supposed" last year studying Computer Science at the University.
In a far far away galaxy...
During the translation of packages' descriptions, when I found something that looks like a typo or a wrong reference I try to report wishlist bugs and, when possible, provide patches, I know this is somewhat noisy, it is just to register the fact, so Smith Review can also spotted it, sorry for the noise. :-)
BTW, I would still vote for a genius if we are going to elect a mascot.
Thanks: frolic

Pesticide illness is a grouping of symptoms and diseases that can be caused by exposure to pesticides in the workplace, home, and other places in the environment.
Exposures to pesticides may cause a wide variety of both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health affects, depending upon the type of pesticide and the amount of exposure. Signs of acute poisoning may include diarrhea, pinpoint pupils, rashes, nausea, headache, and vomiting. Some pesticides may cause eye, skin, or throat irritation. Chronic exposure (greater than 1 year) to some types of pesticides may aggravate asthma symptoms; other types may increase the risk for certain types of cancers and birth defects, or cause damage to the genetic and immune systems.
Infants and children may be especially sensitive to health risks posed by pesticides because their internal organs are still developing and maturing. Children eat and drink more in relation to their body weight, possibly increasing their exposure to pesticides in food and water. In addition, playing on floors or lawns or putting objects in their mouths can increase a child's exposure to pesticides used in homes and yards.
Exposure to pesticides should be avoided whenever possible. CDPH recommends that people use common sense measures, such as washing fruits and vegetables before eating and carefully following the directions on products, in order to minimize their exposure to pesticides. Remember to wash skin and clothing promptly if contact with pesticides occur.
For more information on pesticide exposures and hazards, see Pesticides.

Compare great Kia Steering Wheel Shaking prices in Finchley with Who Can Fix My Car.
All round good garage. With good mechanics
Stayed late on a bank holiday weekend, fixed my car promptly. Great service from great guys.
The problem was identified as lack of oil in the gearbox, after driving for a few hours there is oil all over the underside of the car, my usual mechanic who i have brought the car back has said that this should have been identified. I essentially paid £110 for nothing.
Alternator broke on weekend. Used this site and mobile car service responded straight away with a great price. Booked in for Monday morning and fixed by the aftetnoon, couldn't have asked for more. Thanks.
Quick and efficient service, was very attentive and friendly in offering advice on what needed to be done. I will be definitely using in the future
Robert contacted me for the work and explained to me exactly what was needed and time required. He also helped me book the appointment for Saturday. He answered all my queries clearly. On the day as agreed, they started work as soon as I reached the garage and the work was completed on time as previously mentioned. Read brake pads and sensor were changed. Brake fluid was replaced. They also inspected the front brakes and discs and even suggested when I would need to change it and did not scare or persuade me to change it right away like some other garage had quoted me. Overall it has been a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend C&R Motors and their team. Thanks guys
Very quick, polite and efficient
Really easy to book. I took the car in and was completed within the time agreed. This was fantastic cos I had other appointments booked. I was able to be on time . I would definitely recommend C & R Moters Ltd. Great job.
Thoroughly satisfied with the work carried out at this garage. Job was completed quickly and properly. Customer service was excellent also. Highly recommended.
The VERY best home delivery and service you could ever want! Thank you for the wonderful service, I shall definitely be back! its not often you find a garage that is honest and reliable.

very professional and polite
excellent job
Awesome garage! Really good service and really nice bunch of guys, Happy to help and completely honest. Really reasonable quote but didn't skimp on the job. Great mechanics. Highly recommended. Cheers Al!
I had a great experience at Autowerke. They got back to me very fast with a great quote and when I arrived they had a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. They're a bit of a community hub as well so even local people and regular customers seem to pop in for an occasional chat. The work was done quickly and to a great standard. I will return there should I need any further work.
This is an excellent local garage that I wish was more local to me - but worth the journey. Joe, who runs the office side of the business, is brilliant and reassuring (my car is extremely old). There were clear explanations at every stage and all the work was fast and efficient. I highly recommend this garage
Efficient service, repair as requested, competitive price, car left clean etc. Recommended

Job was quick, unbeatable prices. But, my dash board computer was not reset. Because of that I'll give 4 of 5.Apart from that great work, great price.
New clutch, one new tyre and a few other little bits, highly recommend, good service and kept me updated throughout
Alex was friendly and informative, I would recommend this garage. My car was fixed within 24 hours which was great and as an extra bonus i was also provided a courtesy car which was very handy. This garage will be my go-to garage from now. Thank you very much.
absolutely superb service from Alex. highly recommended and i will continue to use for all my cars. the guy was very honest and fair and treated us better then most main dealers. Southgate motor engineering is a example to how all garages should do business.customer for life
had my car remapped stage 1 from 122 bhp - 142 bhp Made a really nice change to the car with the extra power, great work at a great garage, would recommend 100%
Absolutely brilliant service. Quoted and delivered work faster than expected. Would definitely recommend.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Cyber Security Legislation
On Monday, EFF and over 30 other Internet rights organizations sent a letter to members of Congress demanding they vote no on the "cybersecurity" bill known as CISPA. The letter starts off a week in which Congress will hold three different hearings about CISPA and computer and network security. In addition to the letter, each hearing will provide opportunity to voice many of the bill's problems. We encourage you to join the fight and tell your Representative to say no to CISPA.
The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act—CIPSA, the so-called "cybersecurity" bill—is back in Congress. As we've written before, the bill is plagued with privacy problems and we're urging concerned users to email their Representatives to oppose it.
UPDATE (4/22/13): The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) has passed the House of Representatives with amendments. This FAQ reflects the bill prior to the amendments. We will be updating this post as we review the bill. In the meantime, please refer to the version of the bill (PDF) that passed the House.
Last week, the Obama Administration released an Executive Order on network and Internet security, also known as "cybersecurity," for critical infrastructure and other companies. The order shows how largely unnecessary CISPA is and should encourage users to oppose the privacy-invasive cybersecurity bill.
The domain name registrar Namecheap is running an awareness campaign against CISPA, the dangerous cybersecurity bill—and they're donating $1 to EFF for each tweet (#CISPAalert), Facebook share, and domain name bought using the code CISPAalert. Namecheap, a staunch opponent of SOPA last year, is now taking charge of spreading the word about CISPA's threats to your privacy.

The Ferrari 458 Speciale sounds amazing
Ferrari's good at making the awesome even awesomer.
Listen. No seriously, listen to the wail of the Ferrari 458 Speciale in this tantalizing new video released by Maranello. It's stirring enough that even the unnecessary techno soundtrack seems almost tolerable. In addition to the customary noise porn, the clip offers up the first look at the Speciale's active aero features in action. Spoiler alert: it's cool. Hey, Friday is all about making it to the weekend. This puts you three minutes closer and leaves a smile on your mug. So watch it now:

This space in my heart is in the shape of you. No one else can fit in. Why would I want them to? – Jeanette Winterson
That quote is from the wedding stationery of one of the couples I've featured below. And I adore it.
* * *
Hello and happy Tuesday, peeps! More on that beautiful bedroom scene above in a minute. Now, listen up, my georgishmorgies!
As a wedding blogger, I read about and hear proposal stories all the goshdarn day. And you know what? I'm getting really sic… just kidding. I quite like it. No, I LOVE IT. And it's come to the point where I seriously want some more of it.
Which brings me to my first order of news: word of this has circulated around the Twittersphere quite a bit already, but I'd like to formally announce it today, on zee blog. I'm planning to do a series on proposal stories from you guys – that's right, my dear readers! – and submissions are being accepted, yo. I am so excited about the stories I've received already, and I just KNOW there are some pretty amazing/fun/romantic/long-planned stories still sitting out there in your minds, waiting to be featured. So, if you'd like to be considered for a proposal feature on The Knotty Bride, by all means, have at it! Be as talkative/detail-oriented/short and sweet/foul-mouthed as you'd like. (To the foul-mouthed: ye shall be edited, slightly… but not as much as you might expect.)
The bare necessities… the simple, bare necessities:
1. The story of how your lover proposed (yes, I just linked to that hilarity again, thank you very much).
2. Photos from your engagement session or, if you did not have an e-session, high quality images of you and your beloved. Note: a photo (taken by anyone) of the site of the proposal is preferred, but not required.
3. Submit to theknottybride{@}gmail.com – I'm looking forward to reading them!
* * *
And now, as promised, I present to you some things with which I'm OBSESSED:
This ruffled quilt from west elm… not to mention the ENTIRE BEDROOM DESIGN APPROACH going on at the tippy top of this post. Oh how I covet all of what's going on here.
You remember that Winterson quote that started us off, today? It's courtesy of Laura and Dave, the couple involved in this wedding, which was photographed by One Love Photo and planned by Married & More with Michelle:
By the way, there are tall, slender trees on the beaches in Seattle? Umm, that's awesome.
Totally obsessing over this twinkle cuff and statement hair accessory, both from fashion designer and Project Runway finalist, Carol Hannah Whitfield. (Check out her shop!)
This wedding, by Audrey Hannah, for these ring-related reasons:
And this wedding, also by Audrey Hannah, for the beautiful crying, striking eyes and detail love below:
Note: this is so what would be going down between my Mom and me. SO. Except this bride's crying face is cute. Mine? Not so much.
This show. Because she and I have the same first name. And that's the only reason. By the way, Frank seems nice; I like his passion. And I haaaaaaaaate the R.I. lawyer. Haaaaaaaaaate. Plus he calls her sweetie, like, twice, the moment he meets her. He's creepy and conceited and she shall not pick him. Also, Kasey sounds like he has a family of frogs in his throat. WHAT IS UP with that.
Aaaaand finally, this color palette (when I saw the below on Etsy, my mind went wild with wedding color scheme inspiration. I cannot begin to tell you how perfect these colors are… please consider them… you will make my year):
Ok, let the proposal submissions begin! Remember, send your stories/photos to theknottybride{@}gmail.com - thanks!
By the way, I'd love to know what you think of these random finds… I just loved so much today, I couldn't choose just one thing to share! Any faves?
xoxo! -Alison

That's why aye brake in two averse By righting wants too pleas.

Family: Hylidae, Treefrogs view all from this family
Description 3/4-1 3/8" (1.9-3.5 cm). Tan to brown to gray above, with darker X mark on back. Belly pale and unmarked. Large toe pads.
Voice A high-pitched ascending whistle, sometimes with a short trill, given once per second, in a multiple-frog chorus: PREEP-preep, PREEP-preep. Males call from shrubs and trees standing in or overhanging water.
Breeding In northern areas, March to June, with the start of warm rains. Males clasp females just behind the forelimbs; masses of eggs are laid in water.
Habitat Wooded areas in or near permanent or temporarily flooded ponds and swamps.
Range Manitoba to the Maritime Provinces south to Georgia, west to e. Texas, and north into c. Wisconsin.
Discussion The Spring Peeper is one of the most familiar frogs in the East, although its nighttime chorus -- one of the first signs of spring -- is heard far more often than the frog is seen. Treefrogs are reluctant jumpers. They are arboreal and adapted to walk and climb. Their toe tips are expanded into sticky adhesive pads used in climbing. Cartilage between the last two bones of each toe allows the tip of the toe to swivel backward and sideways while keeping the sticky toe pad flat against the climbing surface.

Okay, so I've been remiss. I recently (Monday) got back from a camp near Toronto. It was an absolute blast. No, I'm not going to recount things here, if only because it'll take too long. Send me a line and I'll tell you :)
Work is going slowly, although it looks like I'll be doing a bit of off-shift work (probably shift 2). Stuff is getting ready to ship and they need coders on hand to fix bad stuff if testing finds it.

Lin awarded Labouisse Prize to study water resources in Chile
Posted April 17, 2003; 12:40 a.m.
As an environmental engineering major, senior Cynthia Lin is exploring issues of water management in destinations far from her hometown of Emmaus, Pa. The 2003 winner of the Henry Richardson Labouisse '26 Prize, Lin will spend next year in Chile examining a range of factors that impact water resources in that country.
"In Chile there have been a lot of international, national and grassroots efforts to develop plans for managing water resources," said Lin. "It is important to find ways to reconcile these efforts."
The Labouisse fellowship provides $25,000 in funding to support research in developing countries by a graduating senior or a first-year alumnus or alumna who intends to pursue a career devoted to problems of development and modernization. Lin will work in two locations in Chile, combining her findings to support initiatives in water resource management.
The full story is available in a news release.

Secretary's Report
The APNA Secretary is responsible for corporate records and taking meeting minutes during official meetings of the APNA Board of Directors. During the past year, the Board of Directors conducted face-to-face meetings on October 6, 2009, February 18-19, 2010, and June 23-24, 2010. Conference calls were held on November 11, 2009, December 8, 2009, April 13, 2010, May 11, 2010, June 8, 2010, July 13, 2010, August 10, 2010 and September 14, 2010.
Membership has increased since the last activity report. There are currently 6,975 members compared to last year's total of 6,492. From October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010 a total of 1,733 nurses joined APNA.
During the past year, the website has continued to help APNA serve as your resource for psychiatric mental health nursing. Page views and visits to the site are both up 35%, while unique page views are up almost 39%. Visitors are spending more time on the site and viewing more pages per visit than ever before. For more details on the website's top content, top traffic sources, etc., see the full report in the Appendix E.
In addition to the success of our personal website, APNA has developed a stronger overall web presence, with higher spots in search engines, more referrals, active social networking sites, and a Wikipedia webpage.
The development and expansion of our members-only networking site Member Bridge has enabled increased participation in blogs and discussions, while fostering member relations. More than 2,500 eGroup posts have been written in over 95 communities. In the All-Purpose Discussion Forum alone, 7,116 subscribers have posted over 1,000 replies and more than 30 shared documents. Through this forum, APNA committees are also able to learn what topics are important to the membership and further their work in those areas.
Members-only networking has not been the only focus in our networking web presence. Our Facebook page has also been re-ignited and is now better than ever. With about 3 posts per week, APNA's "Question of the Day" has become a must-read post, eliciting anywhere from 6 to 25 responses posted onto our page. This "Question of the Day" is taken from the more active discussions on Member Bridge's All Purpose Discussion Forum. For more detailed statistics on the use of Member Bridge and our other social networking sites, see the full report in Appendix F.

The Critical Thinker
My name is Kristan T. Harris. I have run for political office and have worked a political grass roots campaign for Ron Paul. I was nominated and elected to the GOP platform committee in 2012. I am a huge advocate for liberty and freedom.I am a libertarian at heart. I am also a news junkie and love a good mystery.
Big Brother: Milwaukee To Give Away 2,000 Surveillance Cameras for Citywide NSA Spy Grid
Kristan T. Harris | The Rundown Live
The city of Milwaukee will be giving away 2,000 security cameras to south side businesses. A grant has been provided to the city and they are eager to get started. Is this a violation of our constitutional 4th amendment right? These cameras will come with facial recognition and subsequently will track your behaviors. They will also be able to collect meta data on your habits, cell phone conversations, what you buy and who you associate with. This information will be collaborated with your cell phone id and facial recognition software provided by these cameras to monitor your voyage around town and record your trends.
This information will be trolled by the Milwaukee Fusion spy center, used to track your internet, cell phone activity and behaviors. Stored and saved for future reference indefinitely. The original intent of fusion centers was to prevent terrorist attacks from foreign interests. Now it's used to spy on American citizens The fusion center works in conjunction with the NSA, CIA, FBI and local police to profile everyone. The most frightening thing about fusion centers is the lack of over site and the inability to hold a fusion center accountable both personally and legally.
These surveillance grids are often abused such as using these systems to snoop on lovers and blackmailing individuals.
Alderman Bob Donovan and Common Council President Michael Murphy seem involved in the new program.
Edmund Burke said "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing"

I use "ok" also, although I've heard a lot of people use "free" because it isn't as common in everyday conversation.
I use "wait" frequently, such as not bolting out the door ahead of me or getting too far ahead of me when we are walking, but not heeling. It's a loose command, doesn't require precision, but gets the job done.
My boy has to dance for his dinner. I know, I know, that's mean. But he's always done a little "dinner dance" since he was a young pup and we get such a kick out of it it's become a requirement.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:My view...
Holy cow! In no way did what I said in the top of this thread intend to imply anything worthy of the fear and concern shown thru this thread. It almost seems like the first half was ingnored and the second half misinterpreted. This is like the snowflake that falls on the slope and rolls into a giant ball.
<b>I simply meant to say that you will find that I (or others) will say things like "the bait chuckers" and huff and puff about three sets of barbed trebles -or- those nasty umbrella rigs -or- whatever, and I would expect that it would be tolerated here, on this FLYFISHING site... even if it is a bit "elitist". If a member feels that more people should flyfish for the good of schoolies at Plum Island, then that opinion will be tolerated here. If someone says "the way to catch an atlantic salmon is to fish like a man - move the fish to the dry fly" then it will be tolerated here. THAT is what I refer to as playful elitism, not the string of interpretations that ensued.</b>
Please don't confuse other's interpretations with the intent of my message. To be clear, I was just making sure we didn't get so bottled up about it that we couldn't muse as flyfishers often do without people going off in the other direction against it - this being a flyfishing site and all.
I noticed that as this thread progressed people were replying to me as if I had proposed the things that some people feared in their replies. In other words, their words became my words. I assure you, my words and thoughts were totally independent of what people may have embellished.
I am a purist, and proud of it - but not an elitist. There is a big difference...
A purist constrains his own practices to that which he believes in. An eel afficionado is an eel purist, not breaking down to throw poppers or chunks, for instance. A dry fly purist is... well you know.
An elitist tries to constrain other people's practices or looks down upon others who do not prescribe to their point of view. There are such things as elitist circles in flyfishing, I guess. I've never been in one. In fact political correctness is a form of elitism in the guise of tolerance. It is the intolerance of intolerance.
I never suspected I'd create such a reaction with this thread... which only meant to say "anyone can say what they believe, what counts is the friendship, but let's not get so PC as to be intolerant of the common musings of flyfishermen in a flyfishing venue."
I do sincerely hope I have finally expressed my intent well.
|Bob Pink
RE:My view...
I shudder at the hint of eliteism creeping into the 'community' that's taken hold in this corner of the e.world. More importantly, this board has seen and shown how the thread of common interest can translate into positve action. I know that every event that was intitated by a member of this board (many of which i had to miss this summer <grrr> had only one qualifier, to share the true joy we find in exploring the margins between land, air and ocean. Personally I chose this year to solely fish the flyrod as a challenge to myself in the hopes it would make me a better fisherman. Would I have felt excluded if I split my time between slinging eels, tossing plugs and working the long wand?
Let's never think in terms of 'us' and 'them', or we might find that the next Al_D, grego, hawkeye, terry, sully or juro might turn away and (as the aformentioned are all examples of..)that would be all of our loss.
my $ .02
RE:My view...
What's all this Bubba crap? Elitism? What did I miss?
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not as active a member here, as compared to another board. But, I accept the fact that this board is "fly fish" only...while the other board is more tolerant of other types of fishing.
With that said...I have learned a lot from this board and it's members. For that, I am very thankful.
Looking forward to tying some flies this winter!
Doug B.
RE:My view...
If it were not that the deer season opens this weekend, I would head from Chicago to Boston with some fine PeatWater and join you at the scotch clave instead of returning to Calgary.
As for elitism, I have very little tolerance for it, expertise and extensive knowledege (perfectionism)of a topic I like.
Perhaps instead of Elitism, one should think of " Noblesse Oblige", which roughly translated could mean that we have an obligation to promote our views and values by way of open debate, and be tolerant of the ambiguity we create in the process.
RE:My view...
I'd be happy to offer my downstairs for a Winter Scotch/Tying Clave.
A farewell at the Chatham Angling Society HQ next weekend sounds bitter-sweet, but appropriate.
RE:My view...
Well that's a quorum then! Scotch clave it is. We'll set a date in the heart of winter, or at least after the first snow. My bottle of double wood Balvenie is down to it's last bad night's relief, so I'll have to buy another bottle.
I heard the fat lady's going to make a showing on Sunday. She might whine and hiss but she better not sing before next weekend's farewell at the Chatham Angling Society HQ!
RE:My view...
I have an unopened bottle of Glenfiddich!!! and would be willing to donate it to the clave. but you can bet your ass I'll make it to this clave!!! but you'll never get my bottle of 1970 Maccallam! lol Tom D
|i'm so outta here
RE:My view...
Hell, I don't know. Maybe it's a sickness. I just can't help but argue the unpopular side of a debate. You guys are right, this is probably a topic better discussed in person over scotch. I have a bottle of Laphroage and some ice trays.
Who gets to be designated driver?
|i'm so outta here
RE:My view...
Look folks, I don't want to preach PC values. In fact, I despise them almost as much as prejudice and stereotypes, since they are really the same thing only the other side of the coin.
Knee jerk responses aside, I feel it's important to discuss these things. How far do we allow "playful elitism" to go? You can't shake hands with the Devil and say you're only kidding. At what point does someone step in and say, "hey, you've stepped over the line." I'm a purist too (for the most part), but I recognize that I can learn from multiple sources and don't want to alientate anyone for the sake of fun and games.
I apologize for getting on my high horse with you Terry, but I saw the playful elitism thing extending to include matters of class and social standing. I didn't mean to sling mud on you, my friend.
Juro, I agree mostly with what you are saying, but an elitist mentality does nothing to educate those who are practicing the unsavory techniques that we all want to eliminate. In fact, it only adds fuel to the fire of the likes of Louis Beatini.
Exactly what goal do we seek to accomplish with playful elitism? I would put forth that it really just makes us feel better about ourselves. It certainly does little to effect any change in the way people treat fish. I would argue for a more enlightened approach (See there, my intellectual elitism is in full bloom :->
What are we really after? How do we want this community to evolve? I want it to be a fly fishing only site, too. But I don't want to be part of an electronic circle jerk where we all sit around and congratulate each other on what superior beings we are. I need something more than that.
Is it me who should be thinking about leaving?
RE:My view...
Is Al gonna make a sign up sheet for that one? I can bring 3 rocks glasses, 1 ice tray, and a bottle of single malt. waddyasay?
RE:My view...
Thanks Terry, you are a conscientious and generous member and we're glad to have you on board.
Now I'll be even more to the point....
How about a scotch drinking clave? (no smiley)
RE:My view...
More to the point: The fishing is ending. Now is the begining of the great debating season. There is bound to be some discussions, some heated debates, and evan some arguments and flames. Having gotten stuck in the mud of a recent debate I had to relearn to be careful, keep it simple and give a guy a break once in a while. That being said, I hope there will be moderation as a safeguard when needed. Learning from the great demise of Reel-Time, it would be a wise move to prevent the unraveling of a good website that so much of us have invested in and benefited from. I'll shut up now.
RE:My view...
OUCH! Nick, you were right all along - money can buy championships. Safeco has the all-star game next year though - I guess a World Series this October would have been too much for the humble Mariners Fans to handle in such a short time. The folks in Seattle might not agree...
Back to fishing! My sortie will depend on time. Sunday's a goner but Sat has potential. Thanks to GregO and TerryW, I am looking south. I'll have a chat with my activities coordinator aka. better half and post my plans later today. Hope to hook up with you guys!
RE:My view...
When I saw the title I was hoping that this was going to be your view on where all the fish are going to be this weekend.
PS-Did you watch the game last night, or had you given up after the ALCS?
My view...
With all the bubba / us and them / finger pointing and such lately, I just thought I would try to express a couple things that I believe are true.
Everybody's voice is equal here, we are a open community and there is no dictated outlook or fishing philosophy that must be followed other than upholding (and growing) our premier angling club and the camaraderie we have going.
That being said, this is a flyfishing site and although good folks are never shunned for not being of the FF persuasion, purism and even a degree of playful elitism is welcome here.
I am among the most admant purists out there, so I hope we agree - so I can stay

The Rothaarsteig Trail is a chance for walkers to get back to nature as they cross the unspoilt ridge of the Rothaargebirge hills. The Bruchhausen Stones and the sources of the Ruhr, Eder, Sieg, Lahn and Dill rivers are just some of the natural features along the trail.
Tip: Borbergs Kirchhof
On a ledge of Mount Borberg (669m), an early medieval hill fort has been discovered, with ringed ramparts to the north. One of the castle gates has been reconstructed. Borberg was a site of religious significance in the early Middle Ages and is still a popular place of pilgrimage today.

interesting article about Ted Turner from someone who might know himRead more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013...#ixzz2Lekyw2E9
Teddy Turner, son of billionaire media mogul Ted Turner and Republican candidate for Congress, said his fathers marriage to Jane Fonda prompted his major left turn.
I was raised in a different time at the Turner household a very conservative household with capitalism and all of that kind of stuff, the younger Turner told Newsmax TVs The Steve Malzberg Show.
Teddy Turner is running for Congress in South Carolina, where he faces former Gov. Mark Sanford in a Republican primary. His platform includes opposition to taxes and same-sex marriage and he is a global warming skeptic all positions his father does not share.
Yes, Im Teddy Turner, he said at a recent Republican gathering. You cant pick your parents.
Ted Turner, who founded CNN and once owned the Atlanta Braves, married Fonda in 1991. The actress and workout guru, dubbed Hanoi Jane for posing with a Viet Cong anti-aircraft gun in a misguided protest against the Vietnam War, apparently had an influence that outlasted their marriage.
He started becoming more and more environmentalist and then Jane helped move things over as well," Turner told Malzberg. Then when you start hanging around and everybody youre hanging around with is liberal, then you tend to move more liberal.
In a recent interview with Fox News Bill OReilly, Turner quipped that his jet-setting father, one of the biggest landowners in the U.S., figures he owns a lot of trees so his carbon footprint is pretty limited.
Despite their political differences, the father and son are close. Teddy Turner told Politico that after his appearance with OReilly, he got the following note from his father: I saw your interview with Bill OReilly on Fox, it read, and I thought you did a great job! Im really proud of you, and I hope you win. Best of luck. Love, Dad.
Teddy Turner, a 49-year-old high school teacher, said he not his father has always been consistent in his political orientation.
Im not a liberal, he said. People say how did you separate from your dad? I didnt separate from my dad. My dad separated from me.

Devex Profiles Breastfeeding Device Under Development to Help Prevent Disease Transmission, Deliver Nutrients
August 30, 2013
Noting that infants who are breastfed have better survival rates, Devex profiles a device under development "that could disinfect breast milk and thus prevent viruses such as HIV from being transferred from a mother to her infant." According to the news service, "The so-called nipple shield delivery system from JustMilk was recently nominated to receive a seed grant from Saving Lives at Birth Challenge." In addition to helping prevent disease transmission, "[t]he nipple shield is intended to be a low-cost, safe and effective way to administer medication or nutrients to breastfeeding babies in developing countries," Devex notes. The team of U.S. and U.K. researchers "plan[s] to carry out a rigorous stakeholder analysis as well as acceptability and clinical studies to optimize the design," the news service writes (Villarino, 8/28).

Mayo Clinic-University of Illinois strategic alliance for technology-based health care
This Mayo Clinic-Illinois strategic alliance provides a framework for broad cooperation in individualized medicine by integrating efforts in three areas: 1) basic, translational and clinical research; 2) bioengineering, especially for point-of-care diagnostics; and 3) development of tools and methods in computational biology and medicine.
We are utterly delighted to be working with Illinois. We have worked diligently over the past eighteen months to get to this point, says Franklyn Prendergast, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine. What now emerges is a plan that builds on complementary capabilities of the two institutions in science and medicine honed and strengthened by the similarities in our midwestern cultures and values.
The University of Illinois has well-recognized capabilities in basic and computational sciences, genomics, bioengineering and technology generally, said Lawrence Schook, the U. of I. Gutgsell Professor of Animal Sciences and the director of the division of biomedical sciences. When combined with Mayos outstanding capabilities across the spectrum of biomedical research and clinical practice, this yields an alliance with enormous potential to transform medicine.
Initial areas of scientific focus for the Alliance will include projects in genomics, the microbiome, bioinformatics and other computational science including the use of petascale computing, imaging, nanotechnology and tissue engineering. Several joint scientific projects are already ongoing and several more are being planned. The number of collaborative projects is expected to grow even faster in response to the announcement of a request for applications for a planning grant for joint programs.
Planning is underway for bilateral educational programs in bioengineering, computational medicine nanotechnology, genomics innovation and entrepreneurism. The Alliance intends eventually also to co-sponsor a variety of symposia and seminars, the first of which was held earlier this spring.
The Alliance expects to be sustained long term by funding from federal grants and philanthropy and from a variety of entrepreneurial projects involving commercialization of collaboratively generated intellectual property and agreements with corporate partners.
A steering committee is being formed to oversee the Alliance. All projects will require joint collaboration.

Hmm...a diary...It's hard to imagine that anybody would really be all that interested, but one never knows. Advogato should provide clickthrough stats.
Grumble of the day: ever tried to write a device driver that's compatible with Linux 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4? It's an uphill battle, to say the least. The kernel developers feel entirely free to change the API to their hearts' content, often in ways that are difficult to handle in portable code.
The developers do this because they see it as being superior to the alternative: having the kernel slowly turn into a mass of backward compatiblity cruft that is slow, buggy, and unmaintainable. I think they're right. So I guess I shouldn't complain too much.
Meanwhile I'm trying to figure out the new HIGHMEM stuff, and how it impacts driver developers. The documentation is, shall we say, sparse... Oh well, that's what the source is for.

Enjoy this delicious brownie served with raspberry sauce – a wonderful dessert that can be made several weeks ahead!
If you don't have a springform pan, you can make this dessert in a 12x8-inch pan.
To prevent scorching, melt vanilla chips carefully over low heat. For best results, follow package directions. Adding 1/4 teaspoon vegetable oil to the chips before melting may improve the melted mixture.
This dessert can be made several weeks ahead. Prepare the brownie base and filling as directed in the recipe. Top the brownie with filling as directed in recipe and store it, tightly covered, in the freezer. Allow the dessert to thaw completely in the refrigerator.

Thread: lets talk about substrate...

lets talk about substrate...
So hello everyone! I have been running my 29gal planted tank for a few months and I feel its time to upgrade to something bigger, the 45 Arch. I am curious as to what kind of substrate to put down. I am currently using a pea-sized gravel with first layer laterite on the bottom initially but after a few gravel vacuums it got all mixed in anyways. I also have a small sand pit (about 6"x12") that is being separated from the gravel by a piece of 1/4" acrylic about 3" high. I like the sand for my cories, they lost their whiskers and have not gotten them back since, but also the sand looks pretty nice too. My tank is fully planted with rotala indica, micro sword, a melon sword, a marbled sword, a large bunch of water sprite, and a struggling bunch of cabomba.
I want to move all of these guys over to the 45 Arch. I want to look into a different substrate. I was hoping to see if anyone had advice on any of these types of substrates-
Gravel + Laterite
Potting Soil
Thanks everyone!
Flourite is good but tends to be extremely messy and will need to be pre washed several times.
Gravel + laterite - it works but you would still need to provide root tabs / liquid ferts for optimum growth.
Sand - you will need root tabs or liquid ferts as play sand/ pool sand is completely inert.
Potting Soil - ensure that is completely organic, it will work but it will need to be capped with sand etc.
Other: I highly recommend eco complete, think of it as a Flourite without the problems and has only received positive reviews.
OF these sand is the most cory friendly (or appreciated, I know that barbel loss is not simply a matter of substrate) followed by that eco complete stuff.
Sand + tabs and some liquid ferts works well for me.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
0Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
Just my $.02, I have seen many ppl complain it is messy though.
I use Turface (its a baked clay substrate) and everyone including plants do well in it. My rams play with it, corys don't mind it
Yeah you're right, my bad. That's the correct way to do it but the average uninformed aquarist won't take the time and care to do so.
Eco complete is just easier to work with IMO, not as messy planting in it and won't cloud the water.
Not to hijack, but I will use Fluorite, mixed with that Black Diamond stuff, along with Eco-complete, I think you ought to try that way.
I got mine from Dr Fosters, as over $50.00 free shipping.
I hope posting a place is not against the rules here, but really any web place will have it.
The fluorite is from Sea Chem.
Are you going to be using CO2?
My-0.2 cents. LOL

Sorry, haven't checked in awhile, its been finals week here at my college so I am trying to finalize all of that!
Okay so I agree with you (minus the bit about being an uninformed aquarist haha). I like the idea of sand though. I have had these cories a long time and they still won't get their barbels back. I put in the sand pit because I know the gravel was hurting them. Now the other reason that cories lose barbels is because of unsafe nitrate levels right? Well my nitrates have been zeroed out for so long I've forgotten what the test looks like when I do have organics in there.
As for substrate. What I've heard is this...
Flourite is messy/flourite is not messy- is this just the initial stage? Because I can get by that with the bubble wrap trick. Will this mess with my cories?
Potting Soil-No one seems to be mentioning this one. I had a friend just switch his 180 over to potting soil and he struggled to get it clear again. He did eventually and his plants looks beautiful.
Sand- I need to use liquid ferts and root tabs, correct? I don't mind doing this but I have never used root tabs before. They way I have perceived them is that only release enough for a single plant. (so place it close to an Sword plant and the plant will do well) How do I place them to fertilize a whole substrate and also how often do I have to place new tabs in?
And lastly, I have heard many ways to clean sand-
Get lots of cories and let them do their job.
Get lots of snails and let them do their job
Use a gravel vac, but keep it 4 inches above the sand line and gently swirl it around picking up all of the stuff that settles on the top.
And lastly, whats the bacterial process like down there? On my reef tank my sand is 4" deep. Great anaerobic bacteria and keeps my nitrates at zero.

Work is almost done on DarachWiki version 2.0. I got sidetracked a bit this month working on a new OODBMS that I want to use for the wiki. I should be able to get a release out sometime next week.
Work is almost done on DarachWiki version 2.0. I got sidetracked a bit this month working on a new OODBMS that I want to use for the wiki. I should be able to get a release out sometime next week.
I broke DarachWiki completely yesterday and spent most of today trying to get it to work again.
Been working pretty hard on Beetle the last couple of days. We had to release this friday so the end of the week has been a bit hectic. Not much in the way of work on my own projects.
There is something so stubborn about developers (you know, the part where you stay up until dawn just to get that one thing working). Anyway, I got the changes to DarachWiki done and should be able to remove the last references to the Jakarta regular expression library sometime tomorrow (after I wake up).
I've migrated all the formatting stuff to use the JDK 1.4 regular expressions package and everything seems to be working OK.
I've also changed the way that formatters work: they used to be classes that were compiled into the package. Now I've split them off to be JavaBeans so that I can serialize them and make a repository. I just have to figure out what to do with the ones that need context for their formatting.
OK, I got the Jakarta stuff removed from DarachWiki today. I replaced it with an interface and a factory. I hope this works out better. It sure has cleaned things up.
I'm going to tackle the page persistence issues next. I have to consolidate the two methods of persistence (PageStores and the plain Hashtable from the context) and make the move from Hashtable to PageStore.
DarachWiki was freaking out again today when I got to it. Somehow it tries to save it's backup database and fails. This makes it go into an infinite loop where it just munches CPU cycles.
Started making the changes in DarachWiki to support the new release of the JDK. I've changed the WikiWord formatter to use the new regexp's and I'm hoping it won't cause trouble. If everything is OK, I will start to move the other formatters to the same thing tomorrow.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

absolutely nothing.......................take a look around and tell me how wonderful things are right now for common working folks? We rob from our children, bump up the economy on borrowed money and think we are fixing the problems?? The last 2 years have been a disaster in the making. What is going to happen with the next wave of forclosures Jeff? We have an anemic manufacturing base, massive deficits and Washington continues to spend money we don't have. You tell me how much confidence we should have in this administration? No never mind, I'll go ask one of my customers, they'll make more sense anyway.
Now there is no equity left and no credit to be had and standards of living for most Americans are in free fall. I do not believe that any administration can "fix" this situation without some pretty massive changes in our economy. Even then it will take years. I believe this problem had its greatest roots in Reagan's economic policies which encouraged companies to liquidate assets to by allowing those gains to be counted as short term profits. Things got a little better under Clinton, but he basically continued the same policies as Reagan. Under Bush, things got much worse.
I believe that this administration is trying to get us back to where we were a couple of years ago, but is not addressing the fundamental problems in our economy. Instead it is trying to loosen up consumer credit.
I believe that the last thing we need is more consumer credit. What we need are more jobs at lower and middle income levels. How to do that when US companies continue to send jobs out of the country is unclear. However, I believe one of the more crucial pieces of the puzzle will be to reduce employer responsibility for health care costs which now artificially inflate our costs of labor relative to other countries. I am disappointed that none of the health plans under consideration reduce corporate costs.

This current administration is NOT fixing the problems, right now the gubs are just making things worse. Freeing up credit to what end??? Jobs are gone, cities are decaying and people want to put on Rose colored glasses just because the stinkin dow bottomed out and bounced based on stimulous money??? I don't believe that the government can fix the problems we have, it is up to us to fix this mess by demanding fiscal responsiblility.

Night Blindness
Night blindness means having difficulty seeing in the dark or in low light. One of the most common issues with night blindness is difficulty driving in the evening or at night.
Night blindness is caused by a disorder of the cells in the retina that are responsible for vision in dim light (cones). There may be several common causes:
- Lack of vitamin A, which can cause a disorder of the retina
- Cataracts
, which are cloudy areas in the lens of the eye
Some forms of retinal degeneration, such as
retinitis pigmentosa
- Certain medications
- Birth defects
Night blindness means having difficulty seeing in the dark or in low light. One of the most common issues with night blindness is difficulty driving in the evening or at night.
The Retina of the Eye Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A doctor will give you a medical examination to determine the cause of your night blindness. Some of the things a doctor might do are:
- Ask detailed questions about your experience of night blindness
- Test the levels of vitamin A in your blood
- Give you an eye exam
Ask about your medical history, including:
- Diet
- Medications
- Use of corrective lenses
- Family history of diabetes
Eating a diet with adequate amounts of vitamin A may help prevent night blindness.
Follow your doctor's advice to keep chronic illnesses under good control
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. Some risk factors for night blindness include:
- Age—elderly people are more likely to have cataracts
- Genetics—retinitis pigmentosa
- Diet: people who don't eat enough sources of vitamin A, such as green leafy vegetables, eggs, and whole milk products
(vitamin A deficiency is very rare in the US, but still occurs in certain less developed countries)
Disorders that affect the ability of the body to absorb vitamin A:
- Liver disorders
- Surgery on the pancreas or liver
- Intestinal conditions
- Bowel surgery for obesity
- Glaucoma
- Diabetes
- Trouble adjusting from low levels of light to high levels of light
Symptoms are difficulty or inability to see in low light or darkness. While driving, this may also occur a few seconds after the bright headlights of an oncoming car have passed.
Depending on the reason for your night blindness, treatment will address the specific cause. Treatments generally include:
- Taking vitamin A supplements
- Having cataracts removed
- Low-vision aids
If you experience night blindness, it is important to take safety precautions, like not driving in the evening or at night.

Wanting to start the process of getting my BLF health clearances, and not sure were to start ! I stopped by my regular vet yesterday to ask if they knew about the processes, and if they could do the cheek swabs or blood draws, and they had no idea what I was talking about, and had never even heard of these test (Staff at front desk). They went and asked the vet which was in back, and said that there was obvious no problem drawing blood or doing swabs, and thats all the answers I got.
BUT I am not sure on the whole process, and even were to send the stuff once it's collected ! Can someone point me in the right direction, and what I need to do ?

The multiple streams of pressurized coolant at the cutting edges. This method of coolant delivery also flushes chips out of the cutting zone.
Controlling heat at the tool/workpiece interface is an operator's main concern. Therefore, the idea of a tool that effectively controls heat with a special grade of carbide, a new coating and internal channels that deliver cooling through ports in the shank where the milling flutes begin, is worth a look.
Recently, PM's sister publication, Modern Machine Shop, published an article titled "Managing the Micro-Milling Process with Tiny Cutters," in which the author, Mark Albert, explains the CrazyMill Cool solid carbide milling cutters from Mikron Tool.
According to the article, these cutters are capable of significantly higher cutting speeds and depths of cut in tough-to-machine materials compared with conventional end mill designs in this size range. These results are obtainable in stainless steel, titanium, chrome-cobalt alloys and other so-called super alloys. Read more here.

[FONT=arial] Star Wars: Clone Wars Debuts on iTunes [/FONT]
[FONT=arial] Source: [FONT=arial] [FONT=arial]Lucasfilm Ltd.[/FONT] [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=arial]May 25, 2006[/FONT]
The epic adventure of the Star Wars galaxy comes to the iTunes Music Store today when Cartoon Network's Emmy Award-winning animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars becomes available for purchase and download, Lucasfilm Ltd. has announced.
Beginning today, the 20 chapters of Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume 1 will be available on iTunes, with the action-packed Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume 2 following later in June. Each chapter, or episode, will be available for $1.99 with the full season of Volume 1 available for $10.99 and can be viewed, after download, on a computer or on an iPod.
"As animated shorts, 'Clone Wars' is the perfect content to watch on an iPod," said Tom Warner, Senior Director of Marketing for Lucasfilm Ltd. "iTunes is a convenient new way to explore these rich, exciting stories that expand the Star Wars universe."
The original animated series produced by Cartoon Network Studios, Lucasfilm Ltd. and renowned director Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory) follows the exploits of heroic Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu and a legion of Jedi Knights as they fight against the forces of the Dark Side. In 2004 and 2005, "Clone Wars" was honored with Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming One Hour or More).
"Clone Wars" Volume 1 picks up where "Attack of the Clones" left off, while Volume 2 leads directly into "Revenge of the Sith."
The series originally aired on Cartoon Network and became the No. 1-rated show on basic cable among boys 9 to 17 years old and 12- to 17-year-old teens. More than 23 million people watched at least one episode of Star Wars: Clone Wars during its Cartoon Network run.
