JACKSON – A key legislative advocate in efforts to strengthen Mississippi's laws to curb the number of undocumented immigrants in the state says he is not sure how the issue will be dealt with during the upcoming 2013 session.
"I don't have anything definitive in the way of plans for immigration legislation," House Judiciary B Chair Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, said. "The committee is still assessing the June 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling and the helpful information we obtained during the August hearing on the subject."
Gipson was referring to the Supreme Court ruling that struck down key portions of the Arizona law that gave its law officers more authority to enforce federal immigration law.
The Supreme Court ruling said essentially that enforcing immigration policy is a federal and not state function, though it did give local law enforcement the authority to check on the immigration status of those stopped for other reasons. The court majority, though, indicated that the issue might be revisited later, based on how Arizona law officers enforce it.
Gipson maintained at the time the legislation he tried to pass during the 2012 session would have been constitutional under the Supreme Court ruling.
Gipson's proposal to strengthen Mississippi's efforts against undocumented immigrants passed the House, but died in the Senate. A broad coalition of law enforcement, business and agribusiness organizations and local government officials voiced opposition to the proposal.
Law enforcement and local governments viewed it as an unfunded mandate on them. Business interests said state law already required employers to check a federal database (known as e-verify) to ensure a potential employee is legally in the country. They questioned the need to take additional steps, such as encouraging or requiring local officials to work to curb undocumented immigration.
When asked about the chances of an immigration bill passing the Senate during 2013, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who presides over the chamber, simply said, "The Senate will review immigration-related legislation during the committee process if bills are filed."
Gipson, who held several hours of contentious testimony on the issue in August, said, "We will take a good look at all immigration bills in the Jud B committee and will gauge interest in the bills from our members, from the public and from the Senate."
Gov. Phil Bryant, who has been an outspoken advocate for strengthening laws dealing with undocumented immigrants, said after the June Supreme Court ruling he did not see any reason for Mississippi not to act.
One area of existing law that might need to be addressed based on the Supreme Court ruling is the penalties imposed under the state's E-verify law.
During the August hearing, Mike Lanford, a deputy attorney general, told the committee that the Supreme Court ruling that struck down much of the Arizona immigration law said states could not impose penalties. Under existing Mississippi law, undocumented immigrants can face state penalties by applying for a job.


text: Hello, I am new to this forum and the owner of a 4 month old Male yellow lab. I got him at 7 weeks old and have been working with him daily. He has been doing well with the sit and stay command. The Here command is pretty good unless he has something in his mouth. From the very beginning in the hallway he would fetch the puppy bumper but would be hit or miss on returning to me. I did not worry about it at the time. Only 3 retrieves per day. As he got bigger we moved outside and in a confined area he still runs away with the bumper or does not return to me. I have searched the forums and the common thread is to stop retrieving and work on Obedience. So I am doing that. I have put a check cord on him to reel him in. The issue I am having, is when the check cord is on he wants to chew and play with it causing a "tug of war" when I reel him in on the command. Is this a problem and if so does anyone have any suggestions. I just started this process yesterday. This is the first time I have been serious about training my dog. I have had one other lab that I started but life and work caused me to not finish her. She did not have this problem so I am unsure how to deal with this problem. FYI I have been following the Wildrose Way training DVD. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

"When we see the ocean, we figure we're home. We're safe." So says Swan, the leader of The Warriors, in the iconic 1979 movie chronicling a gang trying to traverse a dystopian New York City by subway at night, escape its rivals and make it back to Coney Island alive.
The muni market can relate. Normally, once it survives its traditional spring buffeting, it can count on some smoother beachgoing months ahead. But strategists are starting to sound concerned that the summer of 2013 might not be a placid one for munis. Last week this blog wrote that RBC sees munis running into some more trouble soon, and now Citi follows with a warning – in a report titled "Beware the Ides of June" – that muni issuance will be unusually heavy this summer and might overpower demand. Here's Citi:
June, July 1, and August 1 represent a peak period for bond calls and maturities in the muni market. By our estimates, aggregate net supply for the period could be below negative $40 billion in the municipal market…. It is important to note, however, that the municipal bond market is expected to see a major round of "mega" muni deals in June, which could push total issuance for the month significantly above our initial estimate of $32.3 billion dollars. Although in some cases these deals have not yet been formally announced, we are hearing from a number of sources that a significant number of deals with sizes in the $750 million to $3 billion range could be priced in June. A key question then is whether the massive amount of bond calls and maturities expected for the next 2+ months will add sufficiently to demand to offset potential supply pressures and upward pressure on yields on the long end of the muni market. In our view, there is a good chance that the answer is "no."
For now, Citi's advice is to wait out any possible June swoon. "In any event, we believe that mid-to-late June could provide an opportune time to put some excess cash to work, at the very least," Citi writes.


text: Ok, so I heard about the teaser video on Jedi Starfighter for the upcoming Bounty Hunter game. So, I made my way over to Blockbuster and rented it. Being the idiot that I am, I didn't check the box before I left and low and behold when I got home it wasn't Jedi Starfighter in the case, it was Racer Revenge (and from what I played I didn't like). So the next day I was planning on returning it and getting the game I meant to get in the first place. Well on a pit stop at a town hall meeting (which I was forced to attend) my Dad sneaks out to go visit the local sporting goods store. Being totally clueless about when I rented this game, he decides to do me a favor, and return the game which he thinks I was planning on returning today. And this is my problem: I never gotta see the Bounty Hunter trailer. Would someone, please God, tell me what it involved, and if you're in the know, what the low- down of this game is gonna be like (previews, hands-on, etc.)? Thank you.

Here's a review of a recent gig and a preview of an upcoming one with The Lovers. Any Advogato readers in Melbourne, come on down!
Been working on an Objective-C binding for XML-RPC. It's working, based on xmlrpc-c; see this link for more information. The thing is whether to rewrite it to be independent on xmlrpc-c or not.
nss_ldap-129 now supports autoconf. Tested on Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD; AIX testers wanted! I expect things to break but this was an important thing to do for portability. Thanks to Doug Nazar and David Begley who have worked on the pam_ldap autoconf support, upon which this work was based.
Joe Little and I gave a talk last night SVLUG on LDAP directory services and the Open-IT project. Open-IT is, amongst other things, a clearinghouse for RPMs of PADL's Open Source offerings.
Over the weekend I wrote some glue between JavaLDAPand Ganymede. Ganymede is a very cool, object-oriented framework for managing directory information, and although it is not designed to be used as a directory service per se, it maps closely enough to LDAP that I thought it would be an interesting project to integrate the two.
Also, there are new releases of pam_ldap and nss_ldap. These should show up on Freshmeat soon.
nss_ldap-122 fixes a race condition and a few other bugs. More exciting is that the IRS support has finally been exercised, which means support for BSDI, FreeBSD and (believe it or not) AIX. I didn't even know that AIX had something akin to the Nameservice Switch (I think it's supposed to look to the end-user like NSS, even though the underlying implementation is the BIND IRS), so it's pretty cool when someone sends you patches to get it work. And, pam_ldap-77 fixes a few bugs, such as proper support for NDS password changing. Users of this software seem to be using Bugzilla so I've been addressing some of those bugs, too. Other than that, not much to report in the Open Source department.
Time for a diary entry, it has been a while. I've been working a bit on Darwin lately, integrating GSS-API authentication into NetInfo (with the help of the NFSv4 project's rpcsec_gss library), getting PAM running on MacOS X, and generally tending to our LDAP/NetInfo gateway. And in the last six weeks of university, finally!
I've had a bit of a cold this weekend, which provided ample opportunity to do some coding (as I didn't feel too guilty about not practising or going out).
On the PADL front, I've added support for template users to pam_ldap. I'm not sure whether this works yet, though :-) Template users are a (as far as I know) FreeBSD practice where the PAM host application refetches the username from PAM after calling pam_authenticate(). This lets the module change the username under the application's nose, which is ideal for ISP applications; for example, a user might logon as firstname.lastname@example.com, and be mapped to the template user nobody. pam_ldap will either map users to a default template user, or read the template user from an attribute in the user's entry. (Both of these are configurable.) You might stack pam_ldap and pam_ntdom, setting pam_login_attribute in /etc/ldap.conf to userPrincipalName, and pam_template_login_attribute to sAMAccountName; then, you could login as firstname.lastname@example.com; pam_ldap will search for (email@example.com), and then set the username to the value of the sAMAccountName attribute in the resulting entry (eg. lukeh). pam_ntdom would then retrieve the username from PAM, and do an NT domain authentication against "lukeh". Finally, login would retrieve the username from PAM, and call getpwnam("lukeh"). YMMV, this code is experimental! Code, as usual, is at ftp.padl.com.
My friend Joshua Reich has been working on some interesting LDAP-related projects which I hope to help him with. Check out his homepage at www.i2pi.com. Josh is one of the DataServe clan.
On the Darwin front, I've done a little bit more work on the PAM port, not much though, I'm waiting on getting MacOS X up and running first. A bit hard without any PPC hardware to speak of; still, Rhapsody DR2 is quite a nice Intel Unix! Also looked at adding support for reentrant name resolution APIs to Darwin, for the moment just those in the Single UNIX Specification (getpwnam_r(), getpwuid_r(), getgrnam_r(), getgrgid_r()). There seem to be some issues with lookupd in getting this working (not architectural issues, it just doesn't work!). You can check these out in the lukeh-SingleUNIXSpecificationV2 branch of Libraries/NeXT/libinfo. You will need a login to access this.
The final, and perhaps more interesting project, has been a NetInfo backend for OpenLDAP. The backend uses Marc Majka's dsstore API, rather than the NetInfo client library. dsstore is a hierarchical database library with an information that's sort of a cross between NetInfo and LDAP. You get the good things about NetInfo: for example, entries' distinguished names are dynamically constructed, rather than being stored with entry; and the good things about LDAP, such as complex queries. The library will either talk directly to the database on disk (and indeed is used as the backend by the MacOS X NetInfo daemon) or to a remote NetInfo database. Anyway, the OpenLDAP backend, back-netinfo, uses this API. It's quite a thin layer: most of the code is spent mapping between slapd data structures, such as filters, and their analogues in dsstore. The trickier code has to do with mapping information models, which could do with some work. For the moment, dsstore meta-attributes are mapped to LDAP attributes with the ;x-meta tag, except for objectClass, which is mapped to the LDAP objectClass attribute. objectClass is also special-cased so that it always contains extensibleObject and top, and so that filters such as (objectClass=*) will succeed even though the NetInfo entry does not contain these attributes. I expect this code will be able to go away once dsstore can deal with schema itself, and slapd lets backends handle their own schema. Attributes which slapd doesn't know about (ie. haven't been defined in a schema anywhere) appear as operational attributes, and are thus not user-modifiable. To make this useful with existing NetInfo deployments, we need to map between well known NetInfo and X.500 attribute types.
Here is an example of searching for a user in NetInfo, and then in LDAP:
% niutil -read . /users/lukeh name: lukeh uid: 1002 passwd: * realname: Luke Howard gid: 1000 home: /home/lukeh shell: /bin/tcsh sn: Howard modifiersName: NAME=ROOT,OU=PEOPLE modifyTimestamp: 20000702234549Z _writers_passwd: lukeh _writers_change: lukeh % ldapsearch -LLL -b "ou=People" name=lukeh '*' '+' dn: name=lukeh,ou=People name: lukeh uid: 1002 passwd: * realname: Luke Howard gid: 1000 home: /home/lukeh shell: /bin/tcsh sn: Howard modifiersName: NAME=ROOT,OU=PEOPLE modifyTimestamp: 20000702234549Z writers_passwd;x-meta: lukeh writers_change;x-meta: lukeh objectClass: top objectClass: extensibleObject subschemaSubentry: cn=Subschema
I've been working on porting Linux-PAM to Darwin. This has been a lot of fun!
Does anyone know how you change your Advogato.org password?
Joe Little (jlittle) makes some interesting points about LDAP and NetInfo. One of the projects we talked about doing was writing an OpenLDAP backend to NetInfo's database layer, dsstore. I think this would be a useful project as I think NetInfo is easier to configure/manage on a large, distributed network than many LDAP implementations. We should remember (as Microsoft have with Active Directory) that LDAP is just an access protocol, and that there's nothing stopping you building something as elegant as NetInfo using LDAP as the principal access protocol. When most implementations are derived from the same codebase (the University of Michigan code), it becomes difficult for people to separate what the protocol provides from what has historically been provided by implementations of it.
So, given some cycles to burn, one should ask whether it's better to put some time into the OpenLDAP dsstore backend (which would make Apple happy) or instead put the work into OpenLDAP so that it has a similar complement of management and population tools as NetInfo.

I thought that only applied to The Doctor's personal timeline though, and thus the "camera timeline". Still, it definitely cheats.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I've never known the Doctor to be constrained by any rule like "an hour then = an hour now". Think about when the 10th Doctor met Martha Jones. After the bit with the Judoon he got in the Tardis, the Doctor got into the Tardis, went back in time, found Martha, took his tie off at her, went back to the Tardis, and came back at the precise moment he left.
I might be a bit confused. The Doctor had told Rose that when she travels with him if she is gone for 2 years, then 2 years pass back in her time, or something like that.
My wife brought up the other paradox though.
The Doctor was attempting to change the old geezer, but time had to correct itself so that no matter what the Doctor did the old man had to say no (initially), or else the Doctor would never have gone back in time to change him.
May the force be with you.
Nearly any time travel story has to have a paradox in order to be entertaining. Meet the Robinsons was a great kid's movie but the paradox at the end completely invalidated the whole movie. My wife drug me to see The Lake House, and the paradox at the end really bothered me but she liked it. Like the Doctor said in Blink, time isn't a straight line. It's a big ball of timey-wimey stuff...
I don't remember that bit about Rose, I thought the Doctor told her he could bring her back to the moment she left. Time to go watch the Eccleston season again!
Looks like the season premiere is on Saturday.

Tanner Lectures explore 'seeds of humanity'
Posted November 6, 2008; 11:13 a.m.
Marc Hauser, a psychologist and biologist who examines the links between the minds of humans and other animals, will present the annual Tanner Lectures on Human Values at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 12-13, in McCosh 50. The theme of the lectures is the "The Seeds of Humanity."
Hauser is a professor of psychology, biological anthropology, and organismic and evolutionary biology at Harvard University. His research focuses on the evolutionary and developmental foundations of the human mind, with the goal of understanding which mental capacities are shared with other nonhuman primates and which are uniquely human.
Hauser has been a faculty member at Harvard since 1992 and is co-director of its Mind, Brain and Behavior Program. His honors include a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award and two Teaching Innovation Awards from Harvard.
Two scholars will serve as commentators for each of Hauser's lectures: Helena Cronin of the London School of Economics and Susan Gelman of the University of Michigan for the first; and Simon Blackburn of the University of Cambridge and Walter Sinnott-Armstrong of Dartmouth University for the second.
The lectures are sponsored by the University Center for Human Values.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: The Salient
A few years earlier, I might have tried to slip forward a few yards or even stand to get a crack at the gobbler's melon. But remember, we were on a point. Unless he took wing and sailed for a mile, the turkey wasn't going the opposite direction off the tip of the point. It was almost as unlikely that he'd pitch or walk off the steep sides of the point. Unless I did something really stupid, he was only going to walk one way — toward me.
And five minutes later, he did. Well, actually, he poked his head up a bit to check things out. I had to lean around a blowdown to shoot the bird, but that was a small hurdle to overcome.
After the shot, I jumped up and gave my friend the thumbs-up sign. I'd done it right. My buddy then reminded me that the gobbler was flopping down Turkey Point — like several hundred feet down — and that I'd better retrieve the bird unless I wanted to try to airlift it out later.
What decision did you make?

On an ordinary spring day, Special Agent Faith Mitchell of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation returns home to a nightmare. Expecting to find her mother minding Faith's new baby daughter Emma, she is horrified to discover Emma locked in the shed, her mother's safe open, her gun missing and a trail of blood to the front door. Without waiting for back-up, Faith enters the house to a scene of carnage. It has been torn apart and a man lies dead in a pool of blood. She stumbles across two more intruders, and within minutes they too are shot dead. And when the Atlanta police force turns up, Faith has some difficult questions to answer. But she has some desperate questions of her own. What were the killers searching for? Ex-Atlanta police Chief Evelyn Mitchell was once under investigation by Faith's partner Will Trent. Is her mother directly involved this time, and where is she now?
With Faith suspended from duty, Will, together with the help of Dr. Sara Linton, must piece together the fragments of a brutal and complicated case – and catch a deeply troubled and vicious murderer with only one thing on his mind. To keep on killing until the truth is finally revealed…

"Not one of her best"
I love Karin Slaughter's books and think it would be impossible for her to write badly, but this one didn't grab me. Maybe it is the focus on different characters than is the norm. Maybe it is the setting of gangs in Atlanta. Maybe it is the fact that some characters made me feel repulsed. Maybe it is the rather confusing plot. Maybe it is a mix of all of those plus the fact the narrator's delivery in a high pitched perky voice. I didn't hate this one but didn't love it either.
"Great book - Wrong Narrator"
Loved the book but the narrator's voice for some of the characters was grating and quite frankly irritating. Jennifer's voice for the main character Faith was so high pitched it almost made my ears bleed so thank God the story was interesting enough for me to tolerate it and her male voices especially for Caleb and Jeremy and quite frankly all the young men were terrible. This book suited a male and female narrator - it was too much for Jennifer and frankly spoiled the total enjoyment of the book for me.
Couldn't wait to get back to this every time I had to turn it off - well read, and a really good book. A treat!
"Another brilliant Karin Slaughter novel"
I have read or listened to every book so far, and am never disappointed - in fact I find myself waiting for new releases! Fallen is no exception, fast paced, tense, funny at times, and characters I just love. I'm always left wanting more.
If you're familiar with the characters then this is the book for you! The development of the relationships between Will and the woment in his life weaves a tangled web which leaves you constantly wondering which way it'll turn next. Action packed, great one liners and a twist you don't see coming. Lots of clever detail which leads you on perfectly to the next book in the series.
Having never read anything by karin Slaughter befor I thought I'd give it a go as saw mixed but mainly good reviews and must say I was impressed, I really enjoyed the story it kept my interest and did not find it predictable which is always a plus. Also enjoyed the narrator and would listen to more from both karin and the narrator Jennifer Woodward.
Got this on sale. Just as well as it was predictable. Listen to in a flash. Nothing I hadn't read before.
"Excellent Book"
I think this is probably my favorite Will Trent story, it all fitted together well. Jennifer Woodward is exactly right as the narrator. Recommended to any Karin Slaughter fans.
"another masterpiece by the author"
gripped from beginning to end, fell in love with the characters and felt every moment of fear
"Will Treat series"
I really enjoy Karin Slaughter's books and this one has not let me down
Will Trent, a bewildering mix of common sense and naivety which works do make the reader empathise with his character.
I will read (or listen) this book again
"Could not stop listening. Completely engrossed."
I thought this book was so thrilling. Superbly read. I highly recommend to any crime /thriller fanatic. You won't be disappointed.

An interesting perspective on the ACA:
Obama moved to exempt his WH staffers since they make such a modest compensation that it is too expensive for them to be compelled to participate, even through "exchanges."
Congress is now trying to exempt themselves from it as well.
Should this tell us something about what a good idea this is? Now that those who tell us that this is the greatest thing since sliced bread FOR US ... THEY want no part of it for themselves.
Although I don't believe that single payer is the answer, ACA seems to be the worst of both worlds.
Interestingly ... cosmetic surgery and Lasik eye surgery are not covered by insurance or ACA ... and in those specialties costs have come down and quality and innovation have increased. Coincidence?

Had to pick up a few things from Wal Mart this morning and saw a lot of managment in the toy section. I asked about the tent event. Apparently, the City of Hagerstown has some fire code against stores having tents on their parking lots. So they are scheming a way to configure the store for the event. They are still having the 48 hours of the Force or whatever it's called, just not outside. This sounds better to me anyway. They are meeting with the "outside vendor" who is running the event (Hasbro?) today and will give me more details of characters, activites, etc tomorrow or Friday if I come back.
I'll post an update by Friday if I hear anything specific.

Hoffman to discuss 'Snowball Earth,' March 26
Posted March 20, 2003; 07:31 p.m.
lecture on "Snowball Earth: Surprise in Deep Time" will be delivered at 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 26, in Reynolds Auditorium, McDonnell Hall.
Paul Hoffman, the Sturgis Hooper Professor of Geology at Harvard University, will present the talk, which is part of this year's Evnin Lecture Series on "Fire, Water and Ice: Catastrophes in Earth History."
"Snowball Earth" refers to a situation in which sea ice extends all the way from the poles to the equator. "Many lines of evidence support a theory that the entire Earth was ice-covered for long periods 600 to 700 million years ago," Hoffman wrote in a paper with Daniel Schrag. "Each glacial period lasted for millions of years and ended violently under extreme greenhouse conditions. These climate shocks triggered the evolution of multicellular animal life, and challenge long-held assumptions regarding the limits of global change."
The lecture is sponsored by the Council on Science and Technology .

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Legislative Democrats held a news conference Tuesday to oppose Sen. Nancy Collins' proposal to freeze the annual cost of living adjustment for members of the Public Employees Retirement System.
Democratic legislators said they are opposed to "reneging" on the contractual obligation.
Collins' bill, which is still yet to be filed, would freeze the increases for three years. Currently, retirees receive a 3 percent increase each year. Many take their cost of living adjustments in what is known as a 13th check.
Among other things, her proposal also would halt the cost of living adjustment any year that PERS funding dropped below a designated level and expand the PERS Board to include more appointees of the governor and lieutenant governor. Currently, PERS members elect a majority of the board.
PERS oversees the pension plans for employees of state and local governments, school districts, universities and community colleges.
Collins, R-Tupelo, said she wants to begin a dialogue about a retirement system she fears is unsustainable and is costing taxpayers more each year to prop up.
The system has 58 percent of the funds needed to cover its liabilities over a 30-year period. The desired industry average is 80 percent. But Pat Robertson, PERS executive director, has said the program is solvent and steps have been taken to ensure its continued sustainability, the most recent to increase state and local governments' contributions from 12.83 percent to 15.75 percent of an employee's salary starting July 1.
Rep. Steve Holland, D-Plantersville, referring to Collins as his "dear friend" said, "She wants a dialogue. We can do it. The members of the House say no."
Sen. Hob Bryan, D-Amory, said people currently in the system went to work in the 1960s and '70s at low-paying jobs with money taken out of each paycheck for their retirement and it would be unfair to change their benefit package now.
The Legislative Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review Committee, of which Collins is a member, in a recent study acknowledged "the seriousness of the funding concerns facing PERS," but "believes PERS's current financial condition is sufficiently sound to make any modification of current employees' and retirees' benefits legally inadvisable."
PEER did recommend an expansion of the PERS Board to include "individuals with expertise in investment or financial management."

|Great Lakes Steelhead & Salmon Amazing "Inland ocean" fisheries
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Muckle Salmon
A little different angle...
I just don't catch that many fish, so I want to have as much fun as possible while I'm on the river. Time on the river is what I live for all week long at work. I just don't have much time to travel on the weekends to "fish factory" type places and my home water, though an anadromous fishery with salmon, steelhead, stripers and shad, is really only a fair to middling river with bursts of fishing here and there. With spey casting (and fly fishing in general) I can make a fun day out of every day on the water, and catching is a nice little bonus when it happens. Don't get me wrong, in places and at times of good fishing I get serious, but flyfishing really is a way of life for me and definitely not a numbers game. Finding a difficult but graceful and satisfying way to fish is like being absorbed in a Paganini concerto for strings rather than listening to a speaker blaring "Bubba shot the jukebox".
Shag, I appreciate your sincerity and honesty. I will try and answer your first question in the same manor. First, I am in the same boat as you and apparently others on this board, I to have done this "Steelhead thing" for many,many a moons. I have caught more than my share with "yarn fly's" & nymphs under a corky. In fact I have been complemented on my effectiveness with the "rig" by many. I don't know if you get to "that point".............I think it just comes to you.
Every now and then I ...........maybe once or twice a year be it Steelhead or Trout, I set up the rig again and give it a go. With in a short time.............it's back, just like riding a bicycle and I start smack'in them pretty darn good. Only thing is, some time back..............something snapped and I get no feeling of accomplishment out of it anymore. The hardware comes out of the vest and sits in the corner for another year.
I think it has something to do with admiration for the Steelhead it's self. I put Steelhead up there with Atlantic Salmon. I rather have the beautiful sport fish move to the fly somewhat............rather than drift the fly to it's nose or through the pod. It's almost un-fair, I still wonder if the females don't take a egg so readily out of "survival of the fit...........less compitition of her own future par". Fly's- I am a avid tyer. Lets face it eggs are bastardized patterns from a tyers standpoint. Fly's & the fish - Steelhead deserve a better fly in my opinion. "Yarn fly's" are tied to the hook on stream and fished by centerpiners..........kind of takes the art out of tying. Casting- I have some pretty nice rods. I like to cast them, rather than flop them out there with hardware. Then there is the method its self.............obviously better suited to spin gear and really made for spin/float gear...............kind of "make shift" on a flyrod.
I don't blame the guides, the new to flyfishing, the anglers who only fish Steel now & then, the travelers.....................it just kind of broke for me a few years back....I went back to the "old way" before the indy nymphing wave.
My mother............bless her is still alive in her mid 70's. Mom was always a church goer............has a spiritual side to her. I always struggled going to church, always rather hunt,fish & trap as a kid on Sundays and did.................I rarely go these days either. I always told her........I get my spiritual fulfillment and cleansing from being outdoors.........and some days that's true. A few years back, mom said, "you think of what God has made while your out there son..............that's good". "O.K. mom I replied". I have tried to remember that...................not perfect, have tried, getting better now. I notice its much easier for me when I am swinging a nice tailout to remember mom's advice and look around a bit with appreciation........admire the fish that took, etc. ........than if I am drift fishing. When mom calls these days and I say "went fish'in today"............(something she has watched since I was about 8 heading to a farm pond, trapping & hunting by 12 etc..........another words a long time) she asks on a regular basis........."did you remember.........son" and I reply more than ever............."yea, mom I remembered.........thank you".............good, she replies...........that's good.
All of the above contribute to it "coming to that point".
I agree that ther is a differnce between drift fishing with a fly rod and nymphing with micro shot. It's just that most guys I see are doing the former. Certainly light weight nymphing is more challenging, but it still doesn't compare to the grab of a wet fly.
Shaq and Gillie
couple of good and thoughtful postsl
The excitement of a sudden grab of a wet or the boil of a steelhead taking a dry far exceeds rolling split shot across the bottom of a stream and wondering was that a strike or a rock ?
Steelhead are beautiful fish which give us their all, I just think we owe it to them to do the same.
hello Gillie. i agree wholeheartedly to the first part of your words above. but, if you are "rolling split shot across the bottom" aren't you actually drift fishing? don't mean to nit-pick just want others to realise there is a differance in a micro shot or two conventionaly casted and a drift fishing rig propelled by a lob or flick.
Shaq, i guess that when & if someone becomes so numbed with numbers of fish to hand its time to self impose some sort of handicap to avoid taking them for granted. something that has never troubled me yet. the few i stumble into leave me feeling fortunate..... SG
I love fishing for steelhead with swung, skated, or riffle hitched flies. In fact, I have hardly fished for anything but steelhead the last 13 years. That said, I don't care how many I hook in a day's fishing and many times will quit fishing after hooking and landing the first fish that takes. And I have quit fishing within 30 minutes of beginning a morning's or evening's fishing after hooking and landing a single wild fish. Another fish would be nice, but the single wild fish makes for a great day and allows me to take time from fishing to visit with one of the many steelhead fly fishers I've met over the years, and the comaraderie of such visits is every bit as rewarding as hooking and landing a steelhead.
Don't get me wrong, I love catching steelhead (or other fish), it is just that I've learned there is far more to fishing than catching fish.
I don't count fish either...
But acknowledge the BassMaster mentality as a curious human trait that allows someone to portray themselves as a success in their own mind and in their circle of fish counting friends...
"How'd ya do?"
"Not bad...Got 57 twinkies 23 blues a partridge and a pear tree..."
When I lived in central Taxachusetts (home of Ted Kennedy, Barny Frank, and Kerry, aren't I proud) I spent alot of time on the Connecticut River...85 miles inland and a great Striper opportunity (anong other things)...I knew a guy who could tell me how many shad he caught from year to year...like 582...479...whatever...
Very curious indeed, not to mention obsesive compulsive and anal retentive!
There must be some gene that drives this behavior...
Don't let it get to you and keep on enjoying what makes you happy...
I try to employ a filter that overlooks the numbers and focuses on the experience!
It's hard to soar with the eagles when you're surrounded by accountants!
Go phigure?!
I have this discussion with my father in law who is in his 70's and longs for the days of snagging with lead wrapped treble hooks. He doesn't understand why I limit myself to a technique which self admittedly is not the most effective way to catch steelhead, particularly on the great lakes.
I love catching steelhead and don't enjoy being skunked any more than the next guy. However, I have come to appreciate that how a fish is caught is more important than if a fish is caught. Although hid fishing ethic is lacking my father in law is an avid hunter and has a strong ethic when it comes to that. Although it is the extreme end of angling ethic, I have compared for him snagging with digging a punji pit and covering it with corn and salt for deer. I assure you that I would be very successful and kill very many deer.
I realize that you are not talking about snagging but I take the extreme end of catching being the only issue to make a point. Sportsmanship is based on an underlying respect for the animals we stalk. Otherwise it is simply harvesting of fish and wildlife.
I fished eggs and nymphs for many years, and like yourself have caught countless steelhead doing so. I do not begrudge the individuals who continue to do so. (Except when they have concrete feet, but that's a different conversation.) The technique fairly hooks fish and that is the minimal standard for ethical practices.
However, I reached a point where I realized that I didn't fully appreciate the individual fish. None of them stood out in my memory. I have since switched to swinging wets and streamers and although my catch numbers dropped the experience is much more valuable. My first trip to the North Umpqua I hooked two fish in a week but I remember the grab., the first run and every move those fish made. The excitement of a sudden grab of a wet or the boil of a steelhead taking a dry far exceeds rolling split shot across the bottom of a stream and wondering was that a strike or a rock ?
Steelhead are beautiful fish which give us their all, I just think we owe it to them to do the same.
I would like some insight
I would like some insight into a mentality which I have heard across this site. Can anybody please tell me when I can get to the place where the fish are secondary or when it "ceases to be a numbers game'? I have been fishing steelhead for fifteen years now using various techniques, mostly with a fly rod. I picked up a spey last year and have had a blast fishing with it. Swinging flies is definately in my tricks especially in the spring when the water warms up a bit but I have a confession to make. When I release a steelhead, all I want to do is hook another steelhead. I don't count fish, I can't tell you at the end of the day, unless I hook less than two fish, how many I hooked. I get the satisfaction fo hooking fish on the swing and usually start the day with it but if it gets towards noon, and I have driven 2 1/2 hours to get to the stream, out comes the egg patterns and nymphs and I hit the slots. I use tactics which catch fish. In the colder water, I use slower presentations and nymphs and eggs, in the warmer temps, 45 and above I start to swing flies and right until mid to late May, catch plenty of steelhead on the swing. I guess after fifteen years and more steelhead than I can remember, I have to giggle every time I hook a fish, and laugh out loud every time it makes me look stupid. Isn't that why we go to the river? To see that cartwheeling twisting beautiful animal go ballistic?

MOOREVILLE – The Mooreville Troopers started the first half strong on Friday, and finished it even stronger.
That translated into a 77-50 victory over Lee County foe Nettleton in the Division 2-3A opener for both schools.
We moved the ball well, and played good team ball," Troopers head coach Jeff Tally said. "When we can get everybody healthy, I'd like to see how good we could be."
Coming off two weeks on the sideline to heal up, Mooreville senior Austin Timms was playing good early, scoring all the Troopers' points as the team moved to a 10-2 lead. Timms continued his strong play in the second half, scoring three of his team's first four field goals, and advancing the lead to 33-19.
Then the Troopers (12-2, 1-0) sprinted to the locker room in style.
Mooreville went on a 12-0 run to close the half, with Timms scoring a basket for 23 first half points. Javon Berry capped the run with two dunks in the final 18 seconds to lift Mooreville to a 45-25 halftime lead.
"That run is what put the game out of reach," Tally said. "That's hard to overcome."
Timms led the Troopers with 24 points and Berry chipped in 20. Chris Long had 16 to lead Nettleton.
(G) Mooreville 65, Nettleton 47: The Lady Troopers (7-7, 1-0) put the pedal to the medal in the second half to really clinch this contest.
Nettleton held a 13-12 edge after the first quarter, but good free throw shooting propelled Mooreville to a 32-21 halftime lead.
"This was a pretty nice win," Lady Troopers head coach Kala Parker said. "It's been a couple of years since we started off in the division like this.
"The key tonight was our ball movement and patience on offense."
Meagan Edmonds paced the Mooreville offense with 17, and Jabria Pounds and Coco Whitfield scored 10 each to lead Nettleton.

Looks to be a Diamond Previews catalog exclusive, eh ?
I'm sure it will show up somewhere else over the next few months.
Well, I'm trying to get 3 of them (for myself and two friends) so I found an eBay dealer with a slew of them starting at 99 cents each. I did a max bid of $2.50 on 3 of the listings and I was outbid all 3 times at $2.75
I figure that if I can get it for 3 bucks or less, I'm going to buy it outright. If not, I'll wait because given how far away the set release actually is, I'm sure this card will pop up in another magazine or other source down the line.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Locational Privacy
This week, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals held, in United States v. Carpenter, that we lack any privacy interest in the location information generated by our cell phones. The opinion shows a complete disregard for the sensitive and revealing nature of cell site location information (CSLI) and a misguided response to the differences between the analog technologies addressed in old cases and the data-rich technologies of today.
Laws are only as strong as their enforcement.
That's why last weekend more than 30 citizen watchdogs joined EFF's team to hold California law enforcement and public safety agencies accountable. Together, we combed through nearly 170 California government websites to identify privacy and usage policies for surveillance technology that must now be posted online under state law.
Update [March 25, 2016]: Georgia failed to pass H.B. 93 by the end of the day Thursday, which means the bill is now dead.
H.B. 93 began with good intentions. Georgia legislators saw a need to protect privacy by regulating how law enforcement agencies use automated license plate reader (ALPR) technology and limiting how long police can store location data collected on everyday drivers.
Unfortunately, the version of the bill currently on the fast track to passage is rife with problems that would not only harm the public, but threaten security research and hinder law enforcement's ability to ensure the integrity of ALPR systems. It could be voted upon by the Georgia Senate on Thursday, the last day for the legislature to pass bills.
At the beginning of the year, the City of Kyle, Texas, approved a controversial agreement to install automated license plate recognition (ALPR) technology in its police vehicles. The devices would come at no cost to the city's budget; instead, police would also be outfitted with credit card readers and use ALPR to catch drivers with outstanding court fees, also known as capias warrants.
With each card swipe, an added 25% surcharge would go to Vigilant Solutions, the company providing the system. As an added bonus the company would also get to keep all the data on innocent drivers collected by the license plate readers—indefinitely.
"No Cost" License Plate Readers Are Turning Texas Police into Mobile Debt Collectors and Data Miners
Vigilant Solutions, one of the country's largest brokers of vehicle surveillance technology, is offering a hell of a deal to law enforcement agencies in Texas: a whole suite of automated license plate reader (ALPR) equipment and access to the company's massive databases and analytical tools—and it won't cost the agency a dime.
Even though the technology is marketed as budget neutral, that doesn't mean no one has to pay. Instead, Texas police fund it by gouging people who have outstanding court fines and handing Vigilant all of the data they gather on drivers for nearly unlimited commercial use.

I'm trying to fade multiple LEDs, independently, and at different rates. Is it possible to have the TLC5940 (or the arduino, for that matter) to run a series of "analogWrite" commands independently?In other words, send one "fade channel0 from 4095 to 0 in 5000ms" and, before it's finished, send "fade channel1 from 0 to 4095 in 2500ms".I know I could chain them together, so that as soon as channel0 finishes its fade, channel1 would begin...but that's not what I'm aiming for.
Your project sounds impressive - does that mean you'll be controlling 3x30 led outputs? are you going to need 6 TLC5940 to control the lot - or is it possible to multiplex the TLC5940 output pins?
A few of the changes:See TLC5940LED_pins.h for the pin setup.Added fading functionality: Tlc.newFade(channel, ms duration, start value, end value, when to start). See the examples.Added the ability to play animations from program memory (14kB!) . See the examples again.See TLC5940LED.h for all the function name changesI'll release a finished version soon which will include an animation creator to make animations.

General Motors (GM) has fallen today on reports that both Canada's national government and that of Ontario sold 30 million shares of the U.S. automaker at Tuesday's close.
The Toronto Star has the details:
The federal and Ontario governments have sold a block of 30 million shares in General Motors valued in the neighbourhood of $1.1 billion, a portion of the equity they received when they bailed out the automaker in 2009.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said in an email that the shares were sold at Tuesday's closing price of $37 (U.S.) on the New York Stock Exchange, minus a small discount.
With completion of the sale, the governments will continue to hold more than 119 million GM common shares and 16.1 million GM series A preferred stock through a federal agency.
Investors might want to keep a closer on the U.S. unemployment rate, which has been a leading indicator of U.S. auto demand. Sterne Agee's Michael Ward writes:
Historically, employment levels have been a primary indicator for new vehicle demand. Unemployment continues to be a cautious indicator for auto demand but the recent trends have been positive. The August unemployment rate of 7.3% decreased from 7.4% in July after adding 169,000 jobs in the month. Low levels of unemployment were a positive for the auto industry in the late-90s and into 2007 (the average unemployment rate between 1995 and 2007 was 5.0%), but higher levels over the last few years have disrupted confidence and limited the pace of the recovery. The Figure below compares the employment rate against a 12-month moving total of U.S. light vehicle sales. On a positive note, auto sales have been a leading indicator for the direction of U.S. employment trends over the last 30 years, and the trend is holding up once again this time around.
Europe, too, could be a source of sales, if the head of GM's Opel unit is to be believed. The Wall Street Journal reports:
General Motors Co. Vice Chairman Stephen Girsky said "there's pent-up demand" in the European market that could boost the auto maker's money-losing Opel operations over the next few years.
Mr. Girsky, chairman of Opel, has led an overhaul of Opel's operations and management during the past two years, after the German unit lost $18 billion over the previous decade.
Mr. Girsky said Wednesday that Opel should be profitable by "mid-decade," though much depends on whether European sales recover from a slump that pushed annual sales down by more than three million vehicles from the peak of more than 16 million six years ago.
Investors might not want to get their hopes up, however. In a report from the Frankfurt Motor Show, Baird's David Leiker and Joseph Vruwink note that there's little sign of improvement on the continent yet. They write:

Recently, LinkedIn launched its endorsements feature, which is essentially a simplified version of the LinkedIn recommendation. But do these endorsements hold any value? I think they do, but I don't believe they're as useful for social proof of skills as they are for the indirect messages they convey to others.
Infinitely easier to offer than a recommendation, a LinkedIn endorsement takes one click to bestow. As a result, it's likely that endorsements aren't taken nearly as seriously by those who offer them as recommendations… and if recommendations aren't all 100% sincere, you can imagine what that means for endorsements.
That being said, there is still some useful information that can be picked from them: (more…)

Central coaches Fergot, Servais come together
LA CROSSE, Wis. - Go back nine years ago, before Todd Fergot was hired as Central's head basketball coach. The open job was between two assistant coaches: Fergot and Tony Servais.
"Hands down, this was the most difficult decision I've ever had to make," Central Activities Director Joe Beran said. "Having to choose between Todd Fergot and Tony Servais to be our head coach, I knew I couldn't make a bad decision because they're both excellent candidates. And the bad part about it was having to pick."
Beran picked Fergot. After one more year as JV coach, Servais became Fergot's top assistant.
"When Tony didn't get the job, certainly he was disappointed. There's no doubt about that," Beran said.
"I was crushed," Servais said. "It was one of those things where I really wanted the job. That's what I was going for. Whenever you apply for a job, that's the way it is."19028496
"He handled it so professionally, I just can't say enough good things on how Tony handled it," Beran added.
Very quickly though, Fergot and Servais became very good friends. They bonded over how much they have in common.
"They are so similar in so many ways. Obviously their passion for teaching and coaching," Beran said.
"We actually have the same wedding anniversary. The exact same date," Servais said.
"They both have wives that are teachers, kids the same age," said Beran.
"Actually, all three of our kids are lined up within a year of each other," Fergot said.
As their kids have grown up together, so too has the basketball program they've built together.
"That's what's been so nice about it, is to see them grow, as almost co-coaches," said Beran.
"Obviously, just the more time you spend together, the closer you get to them and the more like-minded I think we are. I'll be thinking of something and I'll call him on the phone and it's like, boom! Yup, just had the same thought," Fergot said.
"It's really neat to have some success with these guys," Servais said. "Everyday it's fun to come to work."

Don't let anxiety and worry take over your life – it can make you sick and can ruin your life! You have the choice to allow it to or not. There are ways to help yourself overcome this obstacle.
- Figure out what is stressing you. Is it something you can change? What is the true source?
- Be careful not to put blame on a secondary source when in reality the primary source is causing the stress. (in other words: don't quit your marriage just because you haven't dealt with something else that is truly bothering you – this will take some soul searching)
- Change: there are plenty of areas you can change in your life without throwing away a lot! Diet, exercise, attitude, volunteer, shop, study a new language and more.
- Spend some time on you!
Here are some tips and techniques to help you manage your anxiety:
- Know your anxieties
- Write them down
- Breath
- Visualize a better situation
- Positively Affirm yourself: "I am…(insert positive statement that applies)"
- Diet and exercise: take good care of yourself – it will really take care of you in return (and your worries!)
- Seek support – if you need help – look for it – talk to someone – look online or in the phone book. Help is only a call away!
Learn by example. Watch and listen to others that have gone through hardships. Read books – you will read about someone that is worse off then you and who made it through. There are many success stories and free programs that will help you realize your strengths and stay away from anxiety.
Anxieties are a part of life but they don't need to be the foundation of yours. You are strong and smart and you have come a long way – give yourself some credit – you deserve it!
Manage stress well and take the reins – they are yours to take – no one else will do it for you. Good luck – you are on the road to health and wellness and you will be so happy for all the work you do for yourself.


text: And yet Franco, at one time the Persians were well ahead of the Europeans in mathematics and astronomy. Maybe rivals of the Mayan in their studies of the night sky's. They truly have allowed a close minded secular minority shape the path of many that follow that particular religion. That said, the point of my small post above, Bon and all. Is that some find a way to be followers of a religion. And practitioners of science. They are not opposite ends of the spectrum. Unless you want them to be. One of the gifts of an all knowing God, is the natural sciences and our never ending quest for the why. While yes some of histories greatest scientists had difficulties with organized religions, in the past. For many, from what I have read. It was not a belief in God issue. But a management in the church issue. All I was offering was simply a point of thought. That yes the story of Genesis could be indeed totally factual as laid out. It is just that a "Day" for God is a wee bit longer than our day.

By Reshma Kapadia
Mexico has –and continues to be –one of the bright spots in emerging markets, helped in part by its ties to the United States and also by rising labor costs in China that is making its manufacturing expertise all that more important. As a result, the peso has been strengthening — up almost 3% this year–and Credit Suisse analyst Andrew Campbell expects further strengthening.
That's good news for companies with dollar-based costs and local currency sales, like beverage firms Coca-Cola Femsa (KOF) and Arca Continental (AC.MX), Credit Suisse writes.
Firms like Cemex (CX), America Movil (AMX) and Grupo Televisa (TV) benefit from unhedged foreign debt exposure.
But mining, petrochemical and airport firms like Grupo Mexico (GMBXF), Mexichem (MXCHY) and Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (ASR) could be hurt, analysts say.

Track Similar to Mink's and American Marten's but larger. Prints wider than long, with claws showing; 2" (50 mm) wide on dirt, to more than 2 5/8" (5067 mm) on snow. Runs with forelimbs moving in sync, one slightly ahead of other. Forepaws leave ground just before hindpaws arrive, resulting in typical mustelid twin prints, or sets of 2 prints, 1 slightly ahead of the other. Tracks may end abruptly at base of tree.
Sign A dead porcupine, partially eaten and lying on its back, is a good sign that a Fisher has been nearby.
Scat: 46" (100150 mm) long, dark, roughly cylindrical, often segmented; may show fur, bone, berries, or nuts. Scat with porcupine quills almost a sure sign of Fisher.

Donald J. "Hummer" Morris
Donald J Morris "Hummer," passed away peacefully, Thursday, April 4th, 2013, with his family at his side. He was born Dec. 13th, 1938, in Stockton, CA, the son of Rex and Irma Morris. He spent his childhood in Camp Douglas, WI, and graduated from Tomah High School in 1957. In 1959, he was united in marriage to Grace E. Gruen in Tomah, WI. Hummer retired from General Motors in 1988. He and Grace traveled the United States in their motor home, creating many memories and meeting wonderful friends. At the top of Hummer's list of things to enjoy was fishing for walleye with family and his "fishing buddies" and watching The Green Bay Packers. He especially enjoyed The Milwaukee Brewers spring training games while he wintered in Arizona. He was an avid outdoorsmen and fisherman who proudly displayed his mounted "trophies." While Don's kids were young, he was active in scouting and was a 4-H leader. He was a member of UAW Local 95 and of St. John Lutheran Church in Janesville, WI.
Hummer is survived by his wife of 53 years, Grace Morris; three sons: Jeff (Betsy) of Lake Lotawana, MO, Todd (Bridget) of Columbus, WI, Kirk Morris of Milton, WI; daughter, Julie (Bill) Rott of Oconomowoc, WI; fourteen grandchildren: Zachery, Amelia, Megan, Laura, Elizabeth, Caroline, Joseph, Thomas, Kyle, Jacob, Sam, Lily, Maggie, and Ruby; one brother, Wayne (Linda) Morris of Mauston, WI. He is also survived by many nieces; and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; his stepfather; and a grandson.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 13th, 2013, at ST. JOHN LUTHERAN CHURCH, 302 N. Parker Drive, Janesville, WI. There will be no visitation. Following the church service, the family will meet and greet relatives and friends in the basement of the church with a luncheon to follow. In lieu of other expressions of sympathy, memorials may be made to the family and will be given to Fishing Has No Boundaries.
If you knew Hummer, then you were blessed by his sense of humor and his passionate story telling. "Remember the good times!" –Hummer.

There has been a significant amount of speculation and rumour surrounding the existance of a full desktop experience on Windows 8 devices powered by ARM processors. These are the lower priced tablets that are going to exist in the same market as the iPad and various Android tablets, like those make by Samsung and Asus. Before anyone who hasn't been keeping up with this has a panic, there's going to be a normal Windows desktop on fully-fledged laptop and desktop PCs, but on tablets it makes less sense as a user interface. It's not like you could just take your favourite desktop application that you're running on Windows 7 and put it on a Windows 8 device that's using some SoC (system on chip) architecture anyway – it would need to be recompiled to work with those systems.
The main reason that I don't want the desktop is because I don't want developers, including (especially) Microsoft, to be able to treat the Metro UI as a skin that you can just scratch away to reveal something that they designed 10 years ago. It's not that the 10 year old design isn't perfectly functional on a desktop, but on a device with a touch interface it's going to be fiddly at best.
What I want is for everyone who is developing for Windows 8, especially tablets, to have to think about the user experience using touch. The Metro design language works particularly well for this (some would say to the detriment of the traditional keyboard and mouse user), so for goodness' sake, let's please make sure that it's used consistenly.
I've had far too many experiences in the past, particularly with smartphones, which are in some ways more closely related to tablets than PCs are (which is why Apple and Google have taken the opposite approach to Microsoft), where you have a really nice skin up front, only to find that you're only two taps away from something that looks like my A-Level Computing project in Borland Delphi!

Can there be a group anywhere in the world today more disappointed in United States foreign policy than those fighting the Syrian regime?
On Sunday, just after the international conference on Syria held in Tunis, Secretary Clinton delivered her view of the current situation in a series of television interviews, conducted even as Assad's regiments shelled Homs and added to the civilian death toll. Clinton used the occasion of Assad's slaughters to smear the Syrian opposition, explain why they should not be armed — and then amazingly add the demand that Syrians step up their opposition to Assad if they are to be worthy of our help.
First comes the smear. To the BBC, she said, "We have a very dangerous set of actors in the region, al-Qaeda, Hamas, and those who are on our terrorist list, to be sure, supporting — claiming to support the opposition . . ." With CBS, she went further: "And to whom are you delivering [arms]? We know al-Qaeda. Zawahiri is supporting the opposition in Syria. Are we supporting al-Qaeda in Syria? Hamas is now supporting the opposition. Are we supporting Hamas in Syria?"

Being a meals photographer isn't as simple since it looks – it's maybe not almost shooting whatever thing appears palatable or edible. Food photography, similar to another department of picture taking is about creating images that does not only record a meeting, but additionally tells your crowd a narrative. Photography is equally a science and an art, and there's a reason why professionals are compensated large for his or her services.
If you would like to own a secure foundation in foods photography, it is highly suggested that you just take up an university degree in photography first. Such training programs can be found by you being extended in community and junior schools, vocational schools, and universities.
During the lessons of the photography instruction application, you'll find out about the main topics you need to learn so as to turn into an professional food photographer. Themes include appropriate composition, components of exposure, photography gear, colour management, post-processing, and photographic light. Business and marketing skills is also important when you're going to run a company.
As every other kind of photographer, a meals photographer need to have a keen sense of imagination and creative thinking. You need to manage to acquire this significant skill within you by participating in photography-shoot sessions, joining digicam clubs, and getting a part-time job as an assistant photographer.
After you have built a strong basis within your knowledge of photography generally, only then if you begin specializing in specific areas such as food photography. For a food photographer, you're going to have to learn about the particular light techniques, props, shooting methods, styling, gear, outcomes, and makeup for shooting photos of food.
There are lots of job openings that await you as a food photographer – meals blogs, cookbooks, food magazines, restaurants, catering businesses, marketing companies, and food production sectors are a few examples.
