Canvasback Chesapeakes
The latest leftist outlet among what used to be a "rugged-individuals" state...Montana, is doing the same thing, Bob.
The socialism all began with the unionization of the miners, timber processors, and the liberals that have moved in and bought out large acreages, like CNN's Ted Turner. And Bozeman with it's college-led socialistic professors, is about as far left as Boulder CO. They wouldn't have had to do a great deal of 'screening' to get an auditorium full of Obamaites willing to have their freedoms confiscated.
But that aside, how desperate is this crowd really? Look where they are spending the Soros money now?
What makes this so sad for me is that my youngest son and his family live in this God-forsaken area. Incredible.

I thought you were talking about todays "meeting" Bob. I happened to be sitting at the table working on my bow(getting ready for a CO elk hunt) and it was on.
The first or second guy said pretty much the same thing about Medicare being great. Then a couple of single moms, one with a special needs child. Then a woman who lost her job during the bad recession last year but has a new job thanks to the porkulus.
I said out loud at the time that there was no way in hell that this was decided by a random draw and those people just happened to be the ones to get a mic.
"The thing I admire about the rat tail is that it takes commitment. It's not like one day you just decide you want one, you have to grow out that bad boy and you have to repeatedly convince the hairdresser to trust you because it's a great idea."
Thank the Lord! I saw the title of this thread and thought someone was planting Obama trees.

Looks like a lot of republican plants also.
How about the lady at Shirley Jackson Lee's town hall meeting. She proclaimed herself to be a family practice physician with 4 years experience.
Further research found that she was not a physician. It seems that her sole claim to fame is that she was an Obama delegate. Turns out that she's really just a liar. Wonder who put her up to this charade....Rep. Lee, the DNC, or maybe the White House.

Hard-fought victory takes Wolves top
Kenny Jackett was tonight reflecting on a "hard fought" victory as Ethan Ebanks-Landell notched the winner at Notts County – but was quick to ensure no one gets carried away after Wolves hit the top of Sky Bet League One.
Ebanks-Landell, on his first league start for Wolves, fired home the 76th minute winner that was the difference between the sides on an afternoon where Jackett's team grew stronger as the game went on and should have added further to the scoreline.
With Leyton Orient losing at home to Preston, three points at Meadow Lane took Wolves to the top, but Jackett insists that all the team have done is create a good platform which must be added to over the coming weeks and months.
"This was a great win for us and a hard fought win," said the Head Coach, who had previously held discussions about whether to apply for a postponement given the absence of the club's international contingent.
"I don't really feel it was an ugly win – our performance grew as the game went on and we created enough clear cut chances in the second half to have put the game away against a very resilient side.
"Notts County put a lot of heart and spirit into their game as I knew they would on what was their first home game under a new manager.
"We wanted to play the game because we didn't want to slip behind and you never know how things are going to be when you do rearrange that particular game.
"Notts County were missing players as well and the way it worked out both clubs decided to push ahead with the fixture rather than let fixtures pile up and have to tuck it in on a Tuesday.
"We know that because of our Premier League past, wherever we go it is the other team's cup final and it was like that today as well as being the new manager's first home game.
"Playing against Wolves is a big game in this division and we always have to be prepared to battle to overcome that.
"We did that today and defended very well at times and then got stronger as the game went on."
After a testing first half in which Notts County started strongly, Jackett made a tactical switch at half time introducing Leigh Griffiths for Dave Davis and reverting to a 4-4-2 formation which gave Wolves a more attacking edge.
"I felt we needed a bit more up front for the second half and the arrival of Leigh Griffiths made a difference," he explained.
"We hadn't had the clear cut chances that I had expected with the sum total being a good shot from Jake Cassidy which the keeper saved well.
"Notts County had started well and we were slack with some of our passes and moves and didn't capitalise on some of the space that we had.
"We were more clear cut and clinical in the second half and carved out clear cut chances and I'm pleased to say we managed to take one of them.
"Although Leigh didn't score he is a constant threat to their back line and I was pleased with him when he came on despite missing the clearest chance of the day.
"We created more chances once Leigh came on and we had that threat.
"Notts County went for us today – they pressed us and didn't give us any time on the ball and we couldn't play it out from the back because they were throwing men forward.
"If that happens you have to have a threat at the other end because there are opportunities to have one on one situations with the right pass.
"We did do that in the second half and unfortunately didn't take them."
And in terms of the crucial second half breakthrough from the 20-year-old Ebanks-Landell?
Jackett said: "I am pleased for Ethan because is a young man who has worked very hard to get into the group for this season, one of many young players who have contributed to far.
"Scoring the winner with his left foot was great for him and for us.
"I thought he played very well and we have got a wealth of talent at right back which is a good position for us.
"He did well when he came on at Bradford a few weeks ago.
"Sometimes it takes him a bit of time to get into the game and then he builds and realises he is a good enough player.
"He is an excellent character and a first class lad and everyone in the dressing room is very pleased for him."
Victory took Wolves to the top of the table for the first time this season – the challenge from Jackett to his players will be to try and stay there.
"And that's not going to be easy," he added.
"The top of the league has set off at a fantastic pace and we have got some very big games coming up after the loan window has shut which will be a very big test for us.
"But there is a good spirit amongst the players and these are games we are looking forward to.
"That spirit is always a good sign and we have put ourselves in a good position – that's all we have done.
"Over the winter months it is really important that we as a club and as a group capitalise on that.
"You want to do as well as you possibly can and at this stage of the season I look at points total rather than position - after this number of games you can't win anything but with the way the table has stretched you could be out of it.
"We are well in contention and have got a good total from the number of games we have played and now have to look forward very positively to make sure as a club that we capitalise on the chance that we have.
"Of course it is great for our supporters and great for us that we are top of the league but that does put up there to be shot at.
"We have to try and build on the good platform that we have made for ourselves so far."

Fairly busy times.
It's summer (cooling off now, but anyway), and basically
things are
as they are supposed to be - it's hot and i'm more often
something quite different from hacking.
Ok, i _did_ - an outer ear infection stopped me from swimming and diving for the next days. No, i'm not happy - fortunately that didn't hit before i made some very good pictures (from my point of view, of coutse) of a few inhabitants of a sea around here.
I released new versions of ftpcopy and dyndb in the meantime. Two other packages are almost ready to be released. Oh well. It's summer, you understand?
Company is going crazy. The one doing the mass-support left,
and $boss "forgot" [1] to get someone to replace him. So now
few people
with a little bit of time left do that job, together with
$boss, who
has his own way of doing support: "oh, this is stupid. Throw
this request". "Answered on the web site. Throw away ...".
Ok, _that_
way i can handle a request per minute.
[1] actually i think $boss was surprised by the amount of vacation Thomas still had open ...
My job isn't going well at the moment. Currently i firmly believe that afilias (the company trying to get big money out of .info) has been created to ruin my nerves. Hey, their test server sometimes even answers correctly ... most of the time it doesn't answer at all. Not to forget that it's slow. I was hoping to have a vacation starting tomorrow, but that will not happen, i'm unable to finish even one test run.
Oh, well. Came back yesterday in the evening, noticed a new hole in the wall, where the electric installation was supposed to be done. Unfortunately that hole was a little bit deeper than the wall. I was hoping to carry a lot of things into this room tomorrow. Let's see when i'll do that.
Discussed open source with a friend. "You really mean that being able to fix bugs or audit the code yourself is a reason to avoid standard software from microsoft?". Of course, yes, i do, but Bernd, i don't think i can explain that to you.

Frost & Sullivan: EU interventional radiology and cardiology market to reach $352 mn in 2016
Singapore: Frost & Sullivan's 'Market Trends in Europe Interventional Radiology and Cardiology', finds that the market earned approximately $336.7 million in 2012 and estimates this to reach $352.6 million in 2016.
The European market for interventional radiology and cardiology is heading towards maturity, especially in Western Europe. Although the economic slowdown and fewer orders had a negative impact on revenues in 2012, it is expected that expanding applications of interventional systems and the popularization of hybrid solutions will drive market growth over the 2013-2017 period.
One of the key trends in medicine is the steady replacement of open surgeries with minimally invasive procedures. Hybrid operating rooms support this trend.
"The expansion of minimally invasive procedures and hybrid operating rooms are set to galvanise the interventional radiology and cardiology markets," noted Frost & Sullivan's healthcare industry analyst, Ms Dominika Grzywinska. "Minimally invasive procedures are becoming increasingly popular, among both patients and healthcare providers. This has spurred the demand for hybrid operating rooms accommodating interventional systems."
"With approaching market saturation, especially in Western Europe, end users are increasingly interested in user-friendly, integrated solutions," concludes Ms Grzywinska. "Vendors need to offer customised solutions that meet the specific needs of end-users, rather than providing standard, ready-to-use ones."

Will we pass a truly Free America on to our Posterity? No, really, I'm serious about that question! I have actual worry in my heart, and a heavy burden for this Great Republic. Why?? Let me explain…
Since the Connecticut Tragedy, I have had people who are typically reasonably minded folks tell me we should allow further restrictions on weapons that are specifically designed to hold lots of rounds or have a military like function.
I've had people tell me we should "Give in" just a Little Bit or maybe just compromise a bit concerning gun control. Listen, I'm not saying I've heard this from liberals – No, these comments and suggestions come from folks who are usually reasonable minded citizens! One suggestion was to limit each family or household to ONE or maybe just TWO "Assault Rifles" because there would really never be any reason for any law abiding family to have more than that! After I took seven or eight deep breaths, reminded myself I was talking to someone I love and respect, this is what I said:
I want my neighbors and everyone in my subdivision, city, state, and nation to have and own as many guns as they decide they would like to own! Why? Simple – Our Founding fathers were so very very clear about why they wanted us to have weapons. If we, as a nation, would collectively take a few short minutes, maybe even an hour, to actually research what our Founding Fathers said, in their own words, about gun ownership and gun control, we would see that what we arbitrarily refer to as "Assault Rifles" would fit squarely with what they wanted us to have! Keep in mind they had just escaped tyranny and knew, first hand, what a power hungry government becomes. They knew that unarmed people become "subjects" while people who are free to protect themselves are "Citizens." They knew that government, by it's very nature, will seek more and more power and that government has an insatiable hunger, almost a lust, for more of our money and our liberty! They wanted American Citizens to be free to protect themselves from, God Forbid, a tyrannical government. Am I afraid our government will become full blown tyrants in my lifetime? No, but I do understand the very nature of government and just like our Founding Fathers, I believe it would someday be possible! We must, as a people, guard today what we want tomorrow and therefor we can NEVER allow government to take even one more tiny little baby step in the direction of gun control over our citizens.
You might say, "Brian, that is an OLD Argument that doesn't apply to modern times," and even though I strongly disagree, I'll give you a more "modern" reason to consider….
You may or may not be familiar with the absolute Financial Crisis, no, EMERGENCY, our country is in but I'm acutely aware! We are living in a time where it is possible for the American Dollar to lose its standing as the international medium of exchange. As it stand right now, countries have to buy and sell on the international market using U.S. Dollars – this means when countries buy oil from OPEC Nations, they do it with U.S. Dollars. I will not take the time, in this writing, to explain all the details of how America, as we know it, could literally cease to exist if we lose the coveted position the U.S. Dollar currently holds as the international medium of exchange but let me summarize by saying this… The America you are accustomed to would no longer be in existence and it would be possible, even likely, that we would be weakened to the point of inviting an invading army! If that were to ever happen, and I pray it doesn't, I want an AR-15 in every closet of every house in America!
I know, I know, some of you will say, "Oh Brian, none of what you've written about will ever happen" and I fervently pray that you are right and that 35yrs from now people are literally laughing at this writing! BUT, hoping you are correct does not give me the degree of comfort that an armed citizenry does.
Increased gun control only empowers government and criminals. Gun control laws empower government by making the people weak and empower criminals because they have no regard for what the law says anyway. Gun control laws only disarm the innocent and weaken those who follow the law. I want all of you to know, Friends – Family – Constituents and fellow Citizens… I will NEVER give even one little inch on the subject of gun control and will fight any measure that further restricts our God Given Right to defend ourselves and the 2nd Amendment that ensures that right to American Citizens!
Gun control is NOT about Guns…it's about Control.

Newbie! NEED HELP!
So I just set up a 20-gallon fish tank a few days ago, and introduced some fish into it last night. They all seemed fine last night when I first put them in the tank, but after 24 hours the water turned cloudy and one of my guppies died. I did a water change right away, cause the water was a bit smelly. Am I doing everything OK? Cause I don't want any of my other fish to die.
Also here's some general info on my tank:
1-Currently, I have the temp set to around 24 degrees celsius.
2-Population of my fish: 2 small Angelfish, 2 Guppies(used to be 3), 1 Tiger Barb, 2 Mollies, 1 Pleco. Is it overpopulated?
3-When I did the water change, a lot of food came out from under the gravel, so I fear I might have overfed them. What can I do to fix this?
4-By looking at the population of my fishtank, how much food should I put for them everyday?
Much thanks to anyone who answers.
Sounds like you might be overfeeding your fish and they are in a un-cycled tank
Please read the cycle with fish thread here in our forum. The is a link to it below in my sig

"Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony Calfo
Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
Your tank isn't cycled. First off, you need to do a large water change; at a minimum, 75% of the water. Do this for a few days or until the ammonia levels drop below 0.25 ppm.
This brings up the second point - you need a liquid aquarium test kit to measure the ammonia, nitrIte and nitrAte levels. Most fish stores sell these. As the tank cycles, ammonia levels will tend to drop and nitrite levels will rise (these are very toxic to fish.) After more time, these levels will drop and the aquarium filter will have a full colony of bacteria (most often in the poly fill in small filters) that will convert fish waste into nitrate. Periodic water changes will keep the nitrate levels low enough to be safe.
Welcome to one of the most interesting aspects of fish keeping - understanding biological filtration by your filters. Read the section on 'Fish based Cycling".Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.
For Fishless cycling:http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ead.php?t=5640
++++ To understanding the cycle and bacteria in your tank.
On top of the cycling information that you need to read to save your fish.
We need to address the fish that you have.
1: is it a common pleco? if so, that will get to over a foot long.
2: Tiger Barb's aren't good in that tank
3: Angel fish aren't good in that tank
Personally, I would return all the fish as the current set up you have sadly just doesn't work.
You added the fish last night but today they are dying already? That's awfully fast for fish to die from over feeding, seems to me. Did you add dechorinator to your water?
Your stock is all wrong and you are overstocked, as well. The ONLY fish you have suitable for the tank is the guppies.
I agree with the others. You really have to cycle your tank properly, before you add too many fishes, or any fishes. If the pleco is a common pleco, then it will definitely have to go, as they can grow huge. The Angels aren't really the best fish for a 20g either, especially during a cycle.
In basic terms, cycling is the process of growing good bacteria in your filter media (the sponge, cotton wool, filter cartridge). The fishes waste will produce ammonia, which kicks off the cycle. Once the ammonia starts, bacteria starts to grow that eats the ammonia and turns it into nitrites. Once the nitrites start, then a bacteria starts to grow to eat the nitrites and turns it into nitrates. After the cycle is complete, your tests should read 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and you will be seeing nitrates when you test. Get yourself an API master test kit, so that you can test for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. Having that kit will make it so much easier to keep track of what's going on during the cycle.
When you start doing your water changes, do not change the water so that you get a 0 reading of ammonia or nitrites, and do not clean your filter. And make sure you use dechlorinator every water change. Chlorinated water will kill off the good bacteria. You need to have ammonia and nitrites in the water to keep the cycle going, until it completes. You need to keep testing, and only do enough water changes to keep the ammonia between .25ppm and .50ppm. Eventually the ammonia will lower to 0 as the bacteria grows enough to eat it all. The nitrites will do the same thing. They will show up on your tests, they will rise, then lower as the bacteria grows.
A couple of things you can do to help your fishes through the cycle, and to speed the cycle up a little, is to add some more oxygen to the water, and raise the temperature a little if you can. The bacteria that you want to grow thrives on oxygen, and doesn't mind the water a little warmer as well. So I would raise the temp to 26C, and if you can, add an airstone to increase the oxygen. You can also drop the water level in the tank a little, if you have a HOB filter (hang over the back filter), just to make the water splash back into the tank a bit more, to increase the oxygen. It can take 4 - 6 weeks for a cycle to complete.
Hope this helps, and good luck!Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark
I am still brand new myself and I would refer to my companions for tank cycling. As far as fish population goes, try to research the species before hand.
Tiger Barbs should have a minimum group of 6-8 fish.
Plecos are huge and need a huge tank.
Most community fish like to school and have emotional problems if the school is not large enough.
Good rule of thumb is one inch of mature fish for every gallon of water..sooo for a 20 gallon I would choose 1 species that you like (guppies, mollies, or platy) Get 5-6 of those fish and then get something to help with cleaning your tank. I like starting with 2-3 Corydora catfish, then as your tank matures with algae and sediment getting a few snails and shrimp.
Any objections out there from the pros?55 Gallon Freshwater Tank (semi-planted) 48"x21"x13"
Video of 55GAL Tank - DEC 2012
So as Mizzoutank said, return all the fish. Get a liquid test kit, buy some ammonia (pure) from a hardware store, read the fishless cycle, and grow the bacteria in the filter. Takes a few weeks but when done, you can add fish (a few), give it a week, then add more - continue until stocked.
When you have fish, feed only a little food that they eat right away. Continue for fifteen minutes or until food falls to the tank bottom, uneaten. That determines the max. food to feed common fish once per day. Some types need more often feedings but those fish are not beginner fish.
As Mizzoutank said, angels are far too big a fish to live in a 20 gal. Also, two (unless they pair off) will fight.
As Lady Hobbs said, did you treat the tank BEFORE adding dechorinator? Add enough? Could be you had weak stock and overnight, food can rot and contaminate the tank. Use a vacuum to remove food on the substrate.
Best of luck and read about cycling!Knowledge is fun(damental)

Weather widget doesn't update automaticly, need a springboard restart :/
After 48 hours of testing, I have found the culprit causing the iPhone to suddenly go into super lag and then eventually just freeze which requires a tethered reboot.
Using NCDate (which I love)is the culprit.
Something in the coding must be slowing down the iPhone. I think there may be a conflict in the time code where the app seems to go slower then the iPhones time which eventually (after a few hours) just lags out and freezes the iphone.
NCDate is perfectly set up and matches the weather widget to a "T"! Wish it would work because it really looks good on the iPhone and the widget & text can all be resized. Font and font color can be changed!
Overall, I LOVE THIS APP and the widgets. Also using the new twitter app. I would use Ori's clock app but it does not look right on my setup and wish that it had the same look as NCDate. This app has NOT crashed my iPhone on iOS 5.1 at all! Can't wait for update and know that more widgets are on the way...Great job Ori!!!
I Update my Iphone 4 and I can't get service again.... Can anyone help me ????
...useful and wonderful tweak....I tried to write to Ori on twitter ,but now I post here too in the hope he could read my "request"...it would be really great if we could have dashboard widgets scrolling vertically too like notification center so that we can have in one page all we need...would you ( Ori ) make something about this?thank in advance....!
A tad bit of info I have gleaned from using widgets with Dashboard X so take it for what its worth (using iPhone 4). If you use a clock related widget or any widget that syncs with some other aspect of the iPhone then you can only use it in one location. If you use the IntelliscreenX Ticker, NCDate Widget or similiar you have to choose to put it on your Homescreen OR in the Notification Center. If you put them in both, it will eventually lag out the iPhone or cause a crash because for some reason they do not maintain the time.
To validate, put a clock widget in notifications, one on your homescreen and then watch the time up at the status bar, you will notice that they will stop changing with each other and the widget will loose time.
If you still have problems with other widgets then try removing one from one location and only keeping one on the homescreen.
Good Luck

JACKSON – The Mississippi Department of Transportation on Tuesday postponed a scheduled lane closure on Highway 45 in Lee County, citing weather conditions.
The closure was to allow the installation of the first 3.5-mile section of a larger 20-mile cable barrier project. Once a new date is set, the barrier will be installed along Highway 45 from the Eason Boulevard interchange to the Verona exit. There will be subsequent closures of the inside lanes from Eason Boulevard to Main Street and then to McCullough Boulevard as each section's grade work is completed.
The project was awarded to Simmons Erosion Control of Lake at a cost of $3,439,494.29.

In a post for the Atlantic, Michael Hirsh, chief correspondent for the National Journal, looks at the Obama administration's growing reliance on hard power and the relationship developing between the U.S. military and the CIA.
Was there ever an unlikelier pair to be leading a team of elite warriors? The man up on the screen was a pudgy, avuncular Californian, Leon Panetta, with a lifelong passion for environmental causes--in particular, protecting marine life (as in fish, not jarheads). The president who was watching him from a secure room inside the White House, Barack Obama, had so inspired the world with his give-peace-a-chance rhetoric that he'd won a Nobel Prize after only eight months in office. Yet here they were, the two of them, about to take out the world's No. 1 terrorist, a task that all those bare-toothed Bushies had failed to accomplish.
The operation was CIA--that is to say, civilian. Though the Navy SEALs who carried it out were America's fiercest fighters (their commander, Adm. Bill McRaven, can "drive a knife through your ribs in a nanosecond," a colleague once said), the military had "loaned" Team Six to the CIA for this operation under Title 50 of the National Security Act. McRaven and the SEALs were in charge on the ground, but it was a supersecret unit within Panetta's Central Intelligence Agency that had been pursuing, almost alone, this particular quarry in a manhunt that had dramatically accelerated since President Obama took office. Charged by Obama to find Osama bin Laden at all costs, the CIA had managed to track the Qaida leader's chief courier to certain areas in Pakistan. And now, two years later, that painstaking hunt had led the agency to this moment--perhaps the greatest in the CIA's storied history--with Panetta giving the "go" for the op on Obama's direct orders.

TUPELO – Tupelo gave a Healthiest Hometown high-five to one of its biggest cheerleaders Thursday.
The city of Tupelo unveiled signs celebrating its Healthiest Hometown award and honoring fitness and community advocate Hank Boerner, who died unexpectedly Dec. 6.
"He gave so much of his passion and life to make things happen," said Tupelo Mayor Jack Reed Jr. as he unveiled the sign surrounded by members of the Healthy Tupelo Task Force and the Boerner family.
Twenty Healthiest Hometown signs will be placed around the city. The first one went up at Ballard Park, but they are also slated for the city entrances, Crosstown, the NMMC Community Walking Track and other parks.
"This is one small way to honor him," said Don Lewis, director of Tupelo Parks and Recreation and a member of the task force. "This is just one of many to come."
The city received the Healthiest Hometown Award from BlueCross BlueShield of Mississippi Foundation for its efforts to create a more active, healthy culture in Tupelo.
"It's the culmination of really hard work by a lot of people," Reed said.
The BlueCross BlueShield award looks closely at cities' efforts across public and private spheres to create cultures that value health and wellness.
Tupelo's winning effort was cited for efforts such as complete streets ordinances, partnerships with schools, parks and recreation opportunities and community programs like Health on a Shelf, which the task force developed. Along with the statewide recognition, winning the annual competition came with a $50,000 grant to allow the city to keep moving its efforts forward.
Boerner's family, wife Helen Boerner, children Hunter and Hal, and longtime neighbor Emily Corban, said it was amazing to have him recognized, but that the effort to make Tupelo a healthier place was bigger than one person.
"We want to honor the rest of the task force as well as the mayor," said Helen Boerner. "Hank would never had wanted to take all the credit."

Leading lower hand (2-hand overhead)
"5 - Use mostly your upper hand and less bottom hand. The bottom hand is used mostly just at the very end of your forward stroke. This accelerates the rod tip just enough at the very end of the forward stroke to initiate some energy into the line (kind of like the double haul does with a single hand). "
This is a quote from the atlantis thread, i've pulled it out of there so as avoid confusion and i think it deserves more thought. But, it is a sample i've selected and not a direct critisism of the author of the quote.
Ok, that cleared up.
I don't agree at all with using your upper hand to control the forward stroke. The right hand and arm should move forward following the leading left hand. The left hand should pull the rod around the right hand on the final phases of the cast.
This is basic lever/fulcrum mechanics and it makes more effective use of the now compressed rod. using the right hand to deliver the stop shortens the effecive rod length and the left hand becomes a sloppy mess.
Pulling down with the left from a leading left hand promotes the feeling of driving the power down through the body and aids stability in the stop. The left hand leads until extended and the right hand stays high during the forward stroke. this aids the now compressing rod top to stay in plane with the line. Then a gently accelerating downward stroke towards the body around an equally extending right creates a very stable fulrum around which the rod can work.
As the left hand hits the body the right hand should be fully extended out in front and around top of the head height on the stop. This motion stops the rod at 10 o'clock if its done correctly.
Your grip length will affect this stop position, and the best way to adjust it is to place your left hand on the rod low down, hand around the butt nearing the butt cap. Position the rod 3" to to the left of you right armpit looking down at a extended right hand. Then slide your right hand along the forward part of the grip until the rod is between the 11 o'clock and 10 o'clock positions. This is your grip for this cast. Slower actioned rods that tend to overstroke are better set up with an 11'clock grip setting and faster actioned euro style rods with faster tip snaps can be set closer to the mark.
During the actual cast, pulling the rod under the right armpit and extended right arm will promote good tracking, and minimise line speed loss and energy loss caused by directional changes made during the stroke. Adopting the vee grip with your upper hand will also aid great tracking, although it might feel weird to those not adept with grip initially.
I agree that this may not be the way its done, but this method was derived from the wide arc pendulum casting style on tournament surf rods. It makes effective use of the body and arms and allows the rod to move through the longest in plane stroke without overpowering the rod.
If you examine my avatar, this is the effect of a leading left hand during a full tournament pendulum style cast. The rod is compressed at this stage right down through the butt. This is where the power of all rods is hidden, and a tip first compression delivers less power. This cast is about to unleash 5oz of lead over 250 yards, and to finish all it requires is a pull left around the right hand fulcrum point.
Although this is not a flycast, it demonstrates the principle effectively.

First of all, how was Eleuthera? I think I have the right Keith, judging by your profile? Steve said you had a good time and did fairly well?
I actualy agree completely with what you're saying about leading with the lower hand. Definately one of the most important aspects of 2 hand casting. What I was saying when I said to use your upper hand mostly is that you don't want to deflect the rod tip by pushing out with your lower hand to much on the bast cast and pulling the bottom hand in towards your body to early on the forward cast. Basically, you don't want to draw an arc with the rod tip by pushing and pulling at the wrong times during the cast. This is where I see most of my customers faulting when casting 2 hand rods.
Anyway, I still have your spey rod and I have to take it out one of these days to give it a go. Since you're back in town, maybe we could go out and give it a throw?
Tight Lines Fly Shop
Being in the UK and having multiple fishing style backgrounds, it made sense to apply what i've learned to the 2-hand overhead. I actually spey cast more often, but on occasion a long 120-140 foot cast is needed to reach our fish in fast rips and seams.
Our target fish are Atlantic Sea Bass and you might like to look at Jersey UK saltwater flyfishing for a look at our waters.
Very unique they are, in that we get rapid shallow saltwater flows and 40 foot tide swings on area's that can dry out for over 3 miles. Very extreme sport, that can be very very rewarding at times.
Anyway, back to the cast.
Here is a quick run down.
Lift right hand, push left in order to start backcast.
Right elbow stops at just past 90 degree's and left hand is in line with my lower right arm and directly underneath perpendicular to the elbow. This forms the stop. the vee grip aids the crisp stop required.
Drift upwards and not back, although the angle of the rod at 2 o'clock does of course allow for some backwards drift.
Ok, now pull with both hands on the pick up keeping a fixed elbow position a la "Pulling Style Single Handed", until right upper arm is nearly horizontal to the floor.
Both hands then extend, with the left leading the right by 4-6".
The left hand will reach maximum outstrecth first and the pull back under the right arm begins. No real power is needed.
The right arm should be fully extended as the pull of the left is halfway back towards its "Under the right armpit homebase". As the right reaches extension a final flick in towards the body with the left hand accelerates the tip very quickly against an already compressed rod, and the rod has to dead stop as you arms have nowhere left to go.
I actually cast this style right foot forward for more stability and promoted tracking.
Again, i appreciate most people don't actually cast 2-handed this way, but it does work, creates good loops and is effortless. Cant ask for much more really.
Of course it could be improved. Thats for another time.

Keith -
Nice suggestion starting a new thread into which we can really dig.
But we must also account for style, for instance no one can question Speysteels results (per video clips). He's thrown shooting heads well over 150ft with a single backcast, as have I. However I still do agree and am sure he will too that leading with the butt is an effective technique in loading the rod deeply.
I ask because one of the biggest problems I see with people learning to overhead cast with two-hands is the large circular rotational finish robbing the cast of it's potential. In any case, this symptom has a lot to do with executing the push/pull technique you mentioned.
Speysteel also stated that the bottom hand is operative in the stop as well. In thinking about how I stop the rod I distinctly use a balance of the two hands acting in unison to stop the rod. The path of travel of the upper hand should not exceed the ratio of relative path of travel of the lower hand or turbulence and shock waves would result. I don't power it with the upper hand, I don't lever it with the bottom - I use both in concert.
Your comment - "longest in-plane stroke without over-powering the rod" says it all as far as distance is concerned!
Great analysis!

Ok. if we refer to single handed for the moment, good casters tend to pull (Fixed Elbow) and then push. We have the luxury of a pull/push and then another pull.
Let me try to explain.
Back cast is complete, right hand has drifted up and left hand has to follow. The left hand is now in front of the right ( Agreed ?), ok. So why change it ?
We have to change the motions of the hands to keep the continually compressing rod in plane with the line, The line will try to follow the rod top at all times ( i:e low back cast, low loop, etc ) Keeping the rod in plane allows more energy to be stored in the blank and the line. You know that anyway.
We have a fixed elbow and a left hand under the rod. We now start the 1st pull phase of the cast. And pull down with the right elbow.
As the left hand is now nearing a vertical line with the upper right hand, but still in front, both arms are extended (Push Phase). Because the left hand is out in front more it will reach extension first. This ends the (left hand push phase). The right hand should still have 6" or so to travel and we push right and pull left at the same speed as before.
Does this make sense ?
Well if it does, the right push combined with the starting to pull left accelerates the rod tip more without speeding up the arms. This increases rod top speed and line speed, but we still have a 6-8" pull back to the body which accelerates the rod tip yet again, giving even more line speed. But this time the right hand is a fulcrum around which the rod travels and compression in the blank is maximised.
We have a steel pivot point, an iron bar, and a 100lb weight. The bar is 14 foot long. And the bar is under the weight and positioned on the centre of pivot.
Where would you hold the bar to lift the weight ?
At the other end of the bar, or at the pivot point ?
Ok, i don't need you to answer that, but it makes sense right. Left hand around right fulcrum point maximises energy put in.
So if i grab the bar at the pivot point, i now only have 7 foot of bar to do the job, and nowhere to lever the bar around. This is the same as effectively shortening the rod. The same effect can be seen by guys who grab thier flyrods between the grip and stripping ring when playing big fish. Rod gets shorter.
btw: The right arm doesn't actually need to be locked solid. Just firm enough to bring the rod all the way around to the 10 o'clock stop without it collapsing.
Ok the 3" bit.
I've found the best grip length is one that places the rod top out at 10 o'clock with that firm right hand extension and the left hand should be tucked under the right armpit. However in practice its rare to have everything working to tight tolerances and i advocate a 3" leeway to allow for a slightly more bent right arm, heavier clothing, waders, vest etc.
In actual practical casting you will find that casting with a leading right foot and leading left hand that the rod butt will finish directly over your right foot. if you look down on completion of the forward cast your rod handle will be masking your right foot. Ok, so whats the difference ?
Under your right armpit is a deeper socket and you'll adjust you grip length to suit. However, if you follow the above practical scenario, and then pull into the right side of your chest, the stroke is shortened because your grip length is too long. I hope that helps. It produced slightly elliptical tracking, but not that bad that energy is lost too much. It helps keep a heavy fly away from your head too.
However, straight right, and rod cap and hand directly in line under the right forearm on the finish has produced the best results so far.

Thank you for taking the time to explain in such detail, you are very good with words and descriptions. Everything makes sense, but I would like to explore one part a little deeper.
In the example of the lever lifting weight: it's clear that the longer the lever the more force can be exerted beyond the pivot but I can't help but imagine a strong man on the other side of the pivot helping you lift. He may not have as much influence pound for pound, but his help does indeed make the 100lb weight feel like 50. When the bottom hand does nothing, the strong man gets a hernia. But when they cooperate, each fills it role perfectly.
There are nuances in each method that influence fishability, loop shape, a whole realm of surrounding factors for each. They all work and it boils down once again to a matter of style and/or adaptability to one's fishery.
These discussions are valuable in the sense that they help casters think through things that might lead them to adopt (or discard) a style.

hi juro:
Thanks for that.
before i get into that lever comment, i'm going to have to really think about it as you make a good point.
I tend to think in terms or effectice rod arc and effective rod length as a basis for loop performance. however, things are changed considerably in fly casting as opposed to the dynamic accelerating sinker i cast during the flat "C" pendulum cast.
One system relies on sinker speed and the other on line speed. the sinker is propelled further if the timing allows for hitting an accelerating weight whilst retaining rod compression and arc/plane/tracking etc.
This is the school of thought i'm trying to apply to the flycast. Application of power as the line reaches optimum speed, therefore utilising and maximising the stroke at just the right time.
With guys like you to work with, a compromise will soon be found i'm sure. I have found your writing very inspirational whilst reading this message board.
oh yea, whilst we are on this.
I also recommend that after the stop on the forward and backward strokes that the hands are relaxed. This as we all know helps to stop tip vibration and over deflection, and its something i take for granted so failed to include it in my analysis.
Sorry about that.

Court Rules Richmond Refinery Plan is Inadequate
The environmental analysis of Chevron's plan to retrofit its Richmond refinery, including the core question on whether pollution would increase, is inadequate under state law.
The state Court of Appeal issued a highly anticipated 35-page ruling Monday afternoon that essentially keeps the refinery project at a standstill until holes in the environmental report are fixed.
Chevron is disappointed in the ruling, said refinery representative Brent Tippen.
"We feel both the evidence and the law amply supports the adequacy of the environmental impact report," Tippen said. "We are now reviewing the court's decision and will determine what is next to be done."
The environmentalists that sued Chevron and the city of Richmond say their aim is not to stop the 108-year-old refinery from operating but to ensure it does so without public risks.
"The decision lays out a clear road map for Chevron to expand its refinery in a way that's legal and won't harm the health of people living right across the fence," said Deborah Reames, attorney for the environmentalists.
"The community has been fighting back for decades - this victory is huge," said Henry Clark, executive director of the West County Toxics Coalition.
The ruling caps a five-year battle over Chevron's plan to replace its power plant, hydrogen plant and reformer to refine a wider range of crude with more sulfur and produce more California-grade gasoline.
Opponents have argued the project would allow the processing of

heavier crude oil, which could increase pollutants by five to 50 times. Chevron disputed the claim and said it will continue refining light to intermediate crudes.
The city approved the plan after multiple heated hearings, but a lawsuit filed by the West County Toxics Coalition, Communities for a Better Environment and Asian Pacific Environmental Network forced the project into limbo as workers arrived at the refinery. Construction halted under a court order last July when a Contra Costa Superior Court judge sided with the environmental coalition and declared the project's environmental report was too vague. Chevron appealed to state court.
Construction workers have watched the legal wranglings closely, hoping the project's 1,000-plus jobs would get back on track.
Greg Feere, head of the Contra Costa Building Trades, said the Chevron project would have directly or indirectly created thousands of good jobs for local people. The judicial action hits home, he said.
"It's devastating for working people, and for the local economy," Feere said. "A lot of the people who were laid off have not worked since."
Labor's best hope now would be for some reconciliation from the involved parties, Feere added.
"Nobody wins on this one," Feere said. "And if they don't sit down and resolve this, everything will stay as it is."
The environmentalists are open to settlement talks, Reames said. Tippen said Chevron is deciding its next steps.
In its ruling, the state court described the environmental report on Chevron's project as "inconsistent" and "obscure" on the crude question. The city's subsequent attempt to clarify by hiring an outside consultant who relied on confidential data was "too little, and certainly too late."
"Unless the data as to crude slate currently processed at the refinery is divulged, the EIR's conclusion that the future crude slate would be 'similar to that which is currently processed' is meaningless," the court wrote.
The court agreed with the environmentalists in concluding the city improperly deferred developing a plan to deal with greenhouse gases. It sided with Chevron on the issue of whether the environmental report should have taken into account a proposal by Praxair to build a 22-mile underground pipeline to carry hydrogen from the refinery to plants in Martinez and possibly Rodeo.

During your construction project, you will have to deal with the workmen. Even if you feel comfortable with them—and especially if you don't—it is important that you keep a couple of considerations in mind. I call it the "3 P's":
These men and women are pros in their own worlds. You need them. You wouldn't dream of buying a car and assembling it yourself, would you? In the same way you leave a mechanic to do his or her job, let the carpenters and electricians and plumbers do theirs. Watch if you wish, but don't interfere.
Step back, count to ten, think before you speak. Speak your mind, but with a little perspective. Don't violate chains of command. Yes, you're the boss, but unless you are also acting as your own GC, you are not the only boss.
Be polite and complimentary. Even if you are not totally satisfied with the work, you are better off finding something good to say about part of it (to the fellow or gal wielding the hammer, as well as his or her boss). Then, through the proper channels, detail the problem areas to be corrected. It is human nature to want to do better work for someone who appreciates it and, conversely, to be less inclined to work for the person who doesn't know how to do anything but complain.

Family: Corvidae, Crows, Magpies, Jays view all from this family
Description ADULT Has soft-looking pale purplish gray body plumage, palest around eye and on face, and on undertail coverts. Wings are mainly black except for white inner flight feathers (seen as white patch on closed wing) and tail has black central and white outer feathers (appears mostly white from below, in flight). Bill and legs are dark. JUVENILE Similar to adult, but a shade paler overall.
Dimensions Length: 12-13" (30-33 cm)
Habitat Widespread and common resident of mountain conifer forests.
Observation Tips Easy to see if you camp or picnic in suitable areas of pine forest; often the birds will find you.
Range Texas, Northwest, Southwest, Plains, California, Rocky Mountains, Western Canada
Voice Utters a range of harsh, rasping calls including shrerrshrerrr and craa-craa-craa.
Discussion Distinctive and subtly attractive corvid, with a relatively short tail, but long wings. Bill is slender and pointed. Main diet is pine seeds, which are stored and eaten throughout winter. Mostly rather unobtrusive, but individuals resident near campsites and picnic grounds within species' range are often bold and inquisitive, and opportunistic feeders. Sexes are similar.

I was reading titus's recent post about data structures for k-mer filtering.
ONe thing struct me. Titus, you looked at binary Bloom filters, but seemingly ignored Counting Bloom filters (where instead of indexing a bit with your hashes, you index a counter of a suitable size, you do run into problems if you need both increments and decrements, since once you it max on the counter, you can no longer decrement).
Of course, it's not necessarily trivial going from a Bloom filter (counting or not) to the key, whereas the key is typically available when using a normal hash table.
I suspect, but have not verified, that a counting Bloom combined with the parallelization opportunity you found (and that one is the big win, I think) would be an equally interesting approach.

Icy Secrets
ANDRILL's research
Student Exploration
What secrets does Antarctica know about Earth's past?
What do you think that Antarctica knows? Scientists from all over the world travel to Antarctica to essentially interview the continent, collecting a wide range of data, with the hopes of answering some of their questions about Earth's geologic history. Here is an example of one of those scientists working with the ANDRILL project: http://icestories.exploratorium.edu/dispatches/antarctic-projects/drilling-through-time/
How do scientists, like Christina, use the ice cores to learn the secrets that the Earth has hidden from the rest of us?
Extension Investigation
- First, a closer look at the process of determining the age of the rock samples is necessary. For a visual: http://www.andrill.org/system/files/web/files/posters/english/front/poster3.pdf Here are ANDRILL scientists discussing how this is done (from #5 of http://www.andrill.org/iceberg/videos/2007/index.html )
What evidence do the scientists use to determine the age of the ice core sections? Are there any weaknesses to this process?
- Now, a closer look at how this ties into learning about our climate history: (from #6 of http://www.andrill.org/iceberg/videos/2007/index.html )
How are scientists using the ice cores to learn about the Earth's climate history? How is it helping them to better understand the future of our climate?
- What would happen if the temperature rose one degree? What would happen if it dropped one degree? Use the following simulation (http://www.andrill.org/system/files/web/images/edu/iceshelfadvanceretreat.swf) to see! Pay attention to the core sample on the right hand side to see how it is recorded in the rock record.

Binghamton University offers stroke prevention program in Delaware County
Faculty and students of Binghamton University's Decker School of Nursing are organizing a series of free stroke prevention educational programs for residents in Delaware County.
In recent years, stroke has become one of the top causes of fatalities among men and women in the county. According to statistics from the Center for Disease Control, the mortality rate for cerebrovascular accidents or stroke for both men and women is 30 percent higher in the county than the New York state average.
Despite the high numbers, most men and women are not familiar with the signs or symptoms of stroke. Since stroke death and disability can be severely limited with proper emergency care, Decker faculty and students have developed an educational program to help county residents identify and address stroke risk.
The program is entitled Facts for Action to Stroke Treatment or "FAST" and a session will take place at 6:15 p.m. Monday, October 27, in the Deposit School cafeteria. For more information, contact Kraig Pritts, Deposit School District superintendent, at 607-467-5380, or Terrie Butler, school nurse, at 607-467-8517.
Another session will be offered to the Banker's Association at 7 p.m. Tuesday, October 28, at the Delaware Academy High School in Delhi.
The Kenneth M. Axtell Jr. Foundation has provided a Deposit area grant to support the FAST program. The FAST program will be expanded into the Hobart and Stamford areas, thanks to the support of the Robert B. & Addie P. Thomson Trust.
For more information, contact Pamela Stewart Fahs, director of the O'Connor Office of Rural Health Studies, at 607-777-6805 or toll free at 1-866 205-8120.

Out of sheer desperation I hard-coded all my serial commands into the Arduino sketch itself and removed all references to the serial bus. Still had the laptop connected, but only as a power source. The commands are quite repetitive for the first job I want to do, so it just took a couple of nested loops to replicate them exactly. Started it off yesterday lunchtime with exerything connected as normal, and a few minutes ago it finished, parked-up and powered-down.

web wheeling, hard.
The greatest thing I have EVER learned in seeking God.
The GREATEST thing I have ever learned both in seeking God and in life in general, comes in three short words: I need God.
Now don't let such a simple statement go without some consideration, after all, it truely is the greatest thing I have ever learned (seriously). I like to pat myself on the back for accomplishing certain things, getting to a certain level at my job, at doing my best to be a good person, my best to be a good Husband, my best to be a good Father, my best to be a good follower of God. However... .. I am still a screw up, and I have no actual control over my life. Surely I can type this statement, I can control that, but there is more that is out of my control. Whether it be sickness, job loss, a cheating spouce, or whatever. The point is that I have found that I am unable to do life on my own, on my own power, with only my own resources. Now being a man, this statement is seemingly weak, but in it, I have found strength. I need God for forgiveness, I need God for a good future, and I need God for a meaningful present. God sending Jesus Christ is the answer to all my dilemmas. I don't need God to make my life comfortable, but I sure need him for everything else. It seems to me that such an acknowledgment of need is the foundation of life in faith. My future, in all aspects, is in the hands of God, and I need him to make it. Just thought I would share. Do you need him?

This can be genetic or just because it is cold season, etc..
Job loss - you didn't work hard enough, downloaded too much porn onto the company computer, owner ran the business poorly, owner sold the company to make more money, etc..
You may have control over this or someone else does.
Cheating spouse - they wanted more, they were selfish, you didn't spend enough time with this person, poor communication, etc..
Same here. You have some control over this.
Most things boil down to who you surround yourself with. If you deal with shady people then you will get shafted. Surround yourself with trusting people and you will be rewarded. Quite simple really. You don't need god to explain these things. Look at the nice folks on this board. How many people have broken down and had someone help out simply beause they saw the sticker on the side of their rig? This is because a lot of the people on this board are trust worthy folk, not because god told them to stop. They would hope that if they were in the same situation, someone would help them out.

Those circumstances did not happen to me, they are example of what CAN.
I have seen that you like to explain things away, but I know that there is more outside of my control than there is under my realm of influence. So tell me, how much are you in control? What are you unable to conrol?

I need to believe that someone will make a post in this forum sometime soon that is about politics instead of God.
In the mean time.....
"What shall we say, shall we call it by a name?
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin,
Water bright as the sky from which it came,
And the name is on the earth that takes it in.
We will not speak but stand inside the rain,
And listen to the thunder shout
I am, I am, I am, I am"
....see the meaning?
Maybe Jerry was God, and you could have been saved if you'd seen him in concert, like me.

I control what I can. What I can't control, I have to have trust in others that they will act in my best interest.
other people's influence - I do my job the best I can. I can't stop my boss from running the business into the ground but I do trust that he is running the business so we can both keep our jobs and make money along the way.
biological influence - I eat somewhat healthy ( I like chocolate and beer) and exercise regularly. Heart disease runs in my family so I take care of my body the best I can but also understand that genetics has a say in my health. I get a sinus infection twice a year and am very prone to them after getting a cold or during allergy season. I try to keep stress at a minimum to keep my immune system as high as possible.
A god doesn't affect anything in either situation. It merely becomes an excuse to explain something that you can't comprehend or want to comprehend. We, as humans, don't know everything. Once you realize this, then you wouldn't need a god to worship. Following a religion is taking the stance that we have an answer for everything. Why do we have to have an answer? Can't you be satisfied knowing that we don't know? I don't need to fill the gaps by following or worshipping a god. I can accept the fact that some things are not comprehendable by the human brain.

2. Agreed again! We don't know everything. But my realization of my limitations does not draw me away from God, it draws me towards him. This is not out of some strange need to answer the "why" question, because with God, the answers are still not always clear, but there is trust that they fit into his best for me, be it difficult or otherwise.
So why does your realization of a need to trust and realization of your limited knowledge lead you to conclude so certainly that God is fake? Do you suppose that your limited control and limited knowledge can be so sure of this? Who do you say that Jesus is/was?

My encouragement for you is to medidate on Psalm 34:8
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as his master, so you can remove an evil force from your sould that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Makes perfect sense.
