Singles rather than trebles
Do you loose more fish fishing with singles?
I have recently converted from fishing mostly trebles (old Scottish tradition) to fishing singles. This came about from visiting this site and taking part in some fly swaps. On Saturday I lost two fish I hope they were kelts (down streamers). Was I just unlucky or is the number of fish lost going to increase as the number of hooks decreases?
Would the number of lost fish decrease if the single had an off set?
It struck me that if the hook slid sideways as the fish closed its mouth the hook would just slide out. Now if the point was offset this could not happen. I was convinced this was how the second fish came off. I felt a tension then saw the fish come to the surface then the hook came clear followed by an Anglo Saxon expletive. Spring salmon are hard enough to hook without them getting away again.
Rate with Singles
Dana said in another thread that he was landing 80% of his steelhead with Partridge Nordic singles on tube flies, are you doing that well with trebles? Also were you using barbs? I think you lose a few more without barbs.
We often do not have the option of using trebles here.
Single vs. Trebles
Dear Malcolm,
Ted is right: we often do not have the option of a treble for steelhead or Atlantic salmon in North America.
Here's a brief overview of sea-run Atlantic salmon regulations regarding hooks in North America.
U.S.A.: All fishing for sea-run Atlantic salmon is closed.
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland, Labrador:
treble hooks are illegal.
Quebec: treble hooks are legal (last I checked, at any rate) but only in size #6 or smaller.
I don't know any anglers who fish trebles in Canada either with tubes or with the pattern tied on the treble.
For tube flies (not generally as popular for Canadian Atlantic salmon as for West Coast steelhead), most use either the Partridge Nordic Single--a black carp hook--or the Loop Double. I also use a Mustad 9174, a super-strong egg hook: cheap and very effective when sharpened.
Anglers still use a lot of doubles in Quebec, mostly Partridge and Mustad. I prefer the Loop Down-Eyed Double Hook to either of these brands.
Single hooks are more popular everywhere else. In Newfoundland, single barbless hooks are now required by law.
Offset single hooks may improve hooking very slightly in the situation you describe. I used to fish an offset Gamakatsu single hook. I no longer bother with offset single hooks and notice no drop-off in hooking-to-landing ratios.
Malcom, .02 cents here only.
With a short shank #4 ring-eye very few fish come un-pinned; assuming they don't go "airborne" on you; then it's usually the leader that gives it up.
With short shank Loop ring eye doubles the fish almost hook themselves. And very rarily come un-pinned. Historicly, for what's its worth, I've lost more fish on trb. hooks that either doubles or a good single hook. Personal opinion only but "ring eye" hooks seem to grab better, faster and hold longer than either a 'eye' up or down.
Clueless as to why, just my "history" on the river.
I have experimeted a good deal with hooks for tube flies. For many years the Kamsan trebles were the standard. It was only when I started going to the Kola, and later BC, hat there was a cause for a "blood thirsty Viking" to re think the use of "anchors".
I wrote an article on this for the Oregon's Flyfishers Club in the fall, and maybe it can be transferred to here. (no promises!)
To be short: if a treble reaches 100%, a Loop type tube double reaches ~80% and large single ~60% (Owner 80%) and a small one less than 50%. (Owner 70%) This is not science - just an angler's estimate.
I do not mean 100% success - even with a treble one will miss 10-25% of all fish hooked. If so it often is very early in the fight.
I think the Loop doubles makes for a pefrect compromise, wherever allowed. Contrary to common belief a double causes LESS harm than a thin wired single that often enough cna act as a cheeese cutter in a big salmon's mouth. The resulting gash is worse than the two anchor points created by a double.
Last year we radiotagged 30 good sized June-fish on the Kharlovka. I dare say 99% of those were caught on doubles. At the last reading in October all were alive, and several had been recaught. This says a lot about the harm done by doubles and catch&release alike......!!
I write this "off the hip" from the office. Hopefully it is readable!
Tight lines,
PS. For singles the Owner AKI type short and stout singles are great. They have done me whole lot of good on the Babine. DS
I'm with Per
I'm moving away from trebles, although I haven't yet had an opportunity to give Loop doubles a fair trial on tubes. But trebles, particularly small ones (#10 and down), can bury all three points deeply in a fish's mouth, which is not good news if you want to release the fish quickly and retain the fly/hook. Doubles do not suffer from this problem nearly so much, though admittedly they can be harder to remove quickly than singles.
I have never liked Drury-type flies except in the small sizes; the longer shanks (#6 and up) seem to create too much leverage, and I believe that on occasion one point can actually lever the other two out. I have no proof of this, but remember well a fisherman in Norway losing a big salmon on one of these flies after about 50 minutes play, having hooked it from the left bank, and during which time the fish left the pool for the one below. The following week a lady caught a fish of about 43lbs in the lower pool, which we fished from the right bank. Her hook was in the left side of the fish's mouth, as you would expect when fishing from the right bank. But the right side of the fish's mouth also had a number of cuts and tears in it, which could not have resulted from her hook. I'm convinced that it was the same fish, and the multiple lacerations in both top and bottom jaw on the right side were a result of the three points of the Drury treble moving around during the course of the fight. It's not uncommon to land a fish and find one point of a treble bent (often not the one attached to the fish), but this seems to happen less often with doubles. Again I cannot prove my theory, but I believe this may be the result of one point being levered out during play by the others.
As for singles, I remember an old friend (now sadly departed) who would sometimes use singles early in the season, but preferred doubles or trebles later on. He maintained that as cock fish grew their kypes, they often develop a gap between upper and lower jaws at the sides of their mouth, and that a single could slide out of this, in just the way that Malcolm describes. Maybe an offset hook would prevent this, but it's interesting to note how they have gone out of favour with trout fishermen over here. 20-25 years ago they were quite common, but you rarely see them now. I can only assume that people came to the conclusion that there was no significant benefit from them. I have a feeling that once you get a hookhold with a single it is at least as secure as a double or treble, because there is no risk of one point acting as a fulcrum to lever the other(s) out. But maybe your initial hookup rate is less. It also occurs to me that Malcolm's single may have slid out of the fish's mouth because it was fishing on its side - Hugh Falkus was insistent that one should check that a fly swam properly before starting to fish. I think the increased weight of 'keel' from the two points of a double increases the likelihood of a fly fishing right way up, which is important not only for secure hooking but also proper presentation (unless, like the Willie Gunn, your fly is tied 'all round' without a defined top wing).
As a final point, I also think that flies look good dressed on doubles, though I'm not convinced that the fish really mind about this!
I wish I could offer a comparison based on Dana and my records since we switched to the short shank Partridge Nordic Single Spey (Boile Carp Hook). However, since single barbless hooks are the law in British Columbia - and have been for many years - I have no experience with multiple hook points.
I can confirm what Ted reports about our hooking to landing ratio since switching to tube flies. While using standard salmon hooks our average was about 50 percent - and had been for years. Now in the start of our 4th season with tubes and the short shank hooks - it is hovering around 80 percent. The increase may not hold up over a longer sample - but it is hard to argue with the success so far.
Much of this success, I think is the Nordic Single Spey hook itself. It is quite short in the shank, with a very wide gap, as well, it almost looks like a circle hook. In fact I often have a hard time getting my fingers on the hook to remove it from the jaw of a fish - they really hold - and there is little leverage for the hook to work loose.
Maybe my ethic of believing the singles are better and healthier for the fish is born out of legal requirement. However, I do believe that the relatively small single hooks that tubes allow us to use have to be easier on the fish than multiple point hooks and even large traditional singles
Our biggest problem is getting suitable hooks. The Nordic Single Speys have in the past been somewhat difficult to find - as well, the eye of the hook is just a little too big for our liking. I know Dana has tried unsuccessfully to convince the people at Loop to make a single point version of their double - it seems they don't believe there is a market. I think they are missing the boat.
Malcolm, if you continue to experiment with singles, give a short shank hook - particularly the Nordic Single Spey a try.
It is funny to hear how well the Nordic Single has been received with you. When new here it was felt that they were too short in the shank. But yours, and Dana's words count for more than old rumours!
Over here we also have a bunch of excellent "carp" hooks that are very good for this purpose. They shouls be easy to find anywhere in the UK.
I will se if I can send you some. You never got into the Owner ones?
Maybe Dana showed them to me, I don't remember. Most of the Owner hooks I've seen are a little too heavy a guage for my liking, however, if you send some varieties of singles I would be very interested. Thanks.
I'd also be interested in the hooks available "over there". If not too much trouble, would you mind leaving a few for me at Kharlovka camp? I'll be there week 33. Or perhaps Way could bring some back in June to send to me. Just let me know how much.
Having read through the thread thank you for all your imput

The fly as far as I am aware was fishing up right, it was an Ali shrimp and it looked good before I sent it forth.
Willie Gunns tied on a tube with a single hook, How would you ever know wether the hook was up down or side ways, more worries. The gillie says I worry about the science of it all I should just choose a fly and fish it, changing flies just wastes nylon
As usual you talk sense, but do you always use tubes? do you ever use standard dressed flies? I could see why you don't.
I will have to try these Loop Doubles.

I was thinking about bending an off set into all my singles but if you find no difference I will save myself the effort.
Now that three days have passed and I have relaxed maybe it was just on of those days. I hate loosing fish I can remember fish lost as a boy over 30 years ago much better than the ones I caught. Saturday was a pig of a day the wind was 25-30 MPH downstream,if you couldn't Double Spey it was too dangerous to fish.
Greater effectiveness of singles.....
Most of the discussion on "more effective hooking with singles, and less lost fish" has come from the spoon and plug fishermen, and it is true in that case. There is more than sufficient data to argue that point. However, I know of no studies, other than someone's opinions, to argue the same case for flies. I think that we have carried this idea over to flies as "gospel".
Only way to prove the point is with a statistically valid study.
But since many of us fish with small dry flies and small nymphs, I doubt if there would be much interest, other than salmon and steelhead fishers.... and we are a minority.
Ok, can only give comparison on bait
My flies have always been singles. I fished only a couple times in UK, and can't remember if I was using a single, double, or treble.
But, when I first started steelheading. We used treble hooks with our bait and on our plugs. Some guys when allowed still use trebles on plugs. I've noticed, that on bait hookup/land ration was MUCH higher. I mean, only time you'd lose a fish was if it ran into trees/obstructions. But, with our sandshrimp or eggs, the fish would engulf it, and would always have 2-3 of the hooks into the fish. When they outlawed trebles, and went down to singles, our catch rates went down. I believe sometimes the fish would grab hook just right or off to side and hookset pulled hook out or impaled into a soft place. Lost more fish in that regards. Had almost no difference between barbed and barbless. Normally the barbless would sink faster and deeper with less effort. Only on the constanst acrobatics of some fish did they ever toss a hook. With fly fishing, I'd have to assume similar things would transpire. If you have a solid hookset, your single will drive in deeper. BUT, you'll have more of a pivot if you're using longer hooks. I'd assume if you had 2-3 of your treble hooks in with a longer hook, would be tougher to maneuver out on the leverage point. I only use singles/siwashes nowadays. I do know that in the days I used trebles, if that plug went off, I got the fish to the boat everytime. The only time I lost a fish was when I lost plug as well on a snag. Period! You do have guys who like to use oversized trebles on plugs, which cause a snagging effect if run into fishing zones. I never did that, nor did my fishing partners. I have had WAY too many times having fish spit or miss hooks hitting with siwashes on. I can't count how many long lined releases I've had on siwashes rather then trebles (none with trebles).
As I said, mine is more from a conventional gear aspect. It's a different fishing style. Especially with bait. With flies, I couldn't give a fair assessment, since I don't recall ever using them. But, hope my conventional gear assessment helped.
I'm a bit surprised to see a discussion of hooks and fish hooking success rates without any mention of the word "retrieve" or "hook file".
I've fly fished for Atlantic salmon and steelhead for almost thirty years now and I have never dead drifted a dull pointed fly for either species (at least not when Im on my game). When I hear the phrase "long distance release" I immediately think to myself: "asleep at the wheel", or "dull hook" or "dead drifting fly while overly absorbed in fluviatile scenery".
When I find someone else's flies hooked to a tree branch, just for amusement I always check the point of the fly on my thumbnail. These are the fancy flies the cool dudes are using these days. Holy Cow -- 80 % of the time the hook points are dull! So it comes down to this: whether you're fishing one hook, two hooks or three, are they sticky sharp? And how are you retrieving that hook, if at all?
I wear a stripping glove on my right hand. Always have. Every cast I've ever made in my life is allowed to free drift only for a very short while. The rest of the time the fly is stripped back towards my rod tip, the line being pulled over my right hand trigger finger with my left hand. Whether it's a floater or a sinker, there is a continual almost imperceptible retrieve. And I never lift the rod tip on a set. I jerk the line downwards with my left hand over the trigger finger of my right hand, leaving the rod tip pointed straight at my fly and the fish that decided to take a pass at it.
As a child I remember calling this type of retrieval "the Scottish Worm Crawl". As an adult I call this form of retrieving a sharp single hooked fly over my trigger finger as "95% beach rate". The remaining 5 %? I call that "Oh Well".
Treble hooks? Three times the trouble. And Im appalled they werent banned years ago. Not because they are so aesthetically obscene stuck in a fishs face. Its because they are not a good tool for the job.
That is the highest beaching rate I have ever heard of. I am impressed.
It sounds like you are more keeping tension on the fly than stripping? That may work better for Atlantics than for steelhead, especially in the midwest where much/most of the fishing is done at very cold water conditions.
You are right on about the sticky sharp hook. If they do not grab the fingernail when slid across, they are not really sharp enough.

The semester is coming to a close, and with it my course, WS 201 Introduction to Gender Studies. It's been an amazing journey for me, with 19 bright, opinionated, inquisitive, hard-working young women for travelling companions.
On the first day of class, I asked the group (by show of hands) who considered herself a feminist. Only one student raised her hand. I expected this response—as Lisa Maria Hogeland wrote in a 1994 article for Ms. titled "Fear of Feminism: Why Young Women Get the Willies," young women distance themselves from that identity for a number of reasons, noting that "fear of feminism is fear of consequences."

I'm working on an MMO RTS, that I imagine will have things like tanks. And weapons like EMP's. EMP's don't blow stuff up, they just cripple electrical equipment. So what if you had a large group of tanks approaching and crippled only the first wave with an EMP. the other tanks typically can't just ride over the first tanks. But in Star Craft and most others, the just disappear
It makes sense from a processing sense, as ever bit of shrapnel takes a toll on performance. (I have ideas on how to make that better in certain areas) I like the idea of being able to take a disabled tank, rehabilitate it, and use it for your side. Or even take a disabled tank and learn its technologies.
What ideas do you guys have for left behind shrapnel? Handling it, clearing it, etc...
I'm not as interested in the programming of it, but more in the application of it to the player. What would it mean to you, what complications and advantages could be used? would it be annoying to deal with and are their ways around the annoyances?

Degree Programs
Electrical and computer engineering graduate students at the University of Houston have the opportunity to work with and learn from faculty recognized as world leaders in their fields. These include Fellows of the IEEE and the National Academy of Inventors, multiple NSF CAREER Award winners, and investigators in major research projects supported by NASA, DARPA, NIH, ARPA-E and the NSF.
ECE graduate students can also take full advantage of the college's location in Houston. Many department researchers work closely with firms in the energy industry, allowing them to address the sector's most pressing needs. Faculty also have ongoing collaborations with physicians and researchers at Texas Medical Center institutions, enabling them to bring advances from the lab to the clinic as quickly as possible.
Regardless of their career objectives — whether obtaining an R&D post in academia or expanding their skillset for work as a practicing engineer — students can take advantage of these opportunities thanks to the different degree plans offered by the department.
Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering (Ph.D.)
The Ph.D. is a research-intensive degree that prepares students for a research and development career in industry or academia. Given the research focus of the Ph.D., applicants must have a deep affinity for their research topic and be fully committed to completing their degree and contributing to their discipline.
There are two paths to the Ph.D.:
- Directly from B.S. to Ph.D., bypassing the M.S. degree, which is recommended for motivated, top-performing candidates with a clear idea of what they want to accomplish in their field of study.
- Obtaining a M.S. degree (at UH or elsewhere) prior to Ph.D. studies. This is recommended for students who are still forming a clear vision of their future career objectives.
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE, with thesis)
The Master of Science (MSEE) degree is a research-oriented degree and requires the completion of a thesis that describes the results of research conducted under the guidance of a faculty advisor. This is a good option for students who haven't yet decided if they want to pursue an R&D career and/or aren't set on their exact area of study. As such, it is very important that students select an advisor as soon as possible, ideally prior to beginning the program.
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE, Non-thesis option)
The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) non-thesis master's program provides advanced instruction emphasizing engineering practice, making it well suited for practicing engineers who want to grow their knowledge and skillset but aren't necessarily pursing a career in R&D. In fact, the MEE program can be counted as one year's experience towards registration as a Professional Engineer.
The program focuses on electrical engineering design, systems operation, manufacturing, and management. Students may specialize in one of four areas of strength in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. These areas are: Control and Power Systems, Electromagnetics and Microelectronics, Electronics and Computers, and Signals and Communications. Under the guidance of a faculty member, students may complete the MSEE with a capstone project focusing on a practical engineering problem.
In addition, students can select electives outside the electrical and computer engineering department. Options include courses in other Cullen College departments, the College of Business Administration, and the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. This flexibility allows students to design a degree program that best matches their goals for the future.
Although the thesis and non-thesis programs are open to both part-time and full-time students, part-time students and working engineers typically find the non-thesis program is the better fit. Students who do not wish to pursue the a degree can take individual classes as a Post Baccalaureate (PB) student.
Power and Energy Systems (PES)

I'm wondering why I shouldn't be able to do the same.
Do I need a MIDI Shield?
s my Arduino UNO USB connector enough?
I'll take a look at Leonardo
is there a way to avoid even the camera connector and plug directly into the iphone with the 30 pins connector?
However the Arduino Leonardo can be made to look like a MIDI port, I would use that along with a Camera interface connector to the iPhone.
#define USB_DEVICE_CLASS_COMMUNICATIONS 0x02#define USB_DEVICE_CLASS_HUMAN_INTERFACE 0x03#define USB_DEVICE_CLASS_STORAGE 0x08#define USB_DEVICE_CLASS_VENDOR_SPECIFIC 0xFF
Is that in 1.0.2,
You will need to make up a special lead from the arduino's USB to the right pins on the connector. I don't know off hand what these are numbered.

I took a lot of heat a couple weeks ago when I wrote up a Barclay's report predicting bad things from deep-water drillers, especially its call on Seadrill (SDRL).
See, Barclays predicted that Seadrill could fall 52% under its base case and Seadrill would drop even under the bull case, when Rowan (RDC), for instance, would gain 54%. One of the biggest complaints from readers was that Seadrill's dividend yield–currently at 7.3%, according to Morningstar–would be even more attractive after a drop.
But what if Seadrill's dividend isn't safe? Wells Fargo's Matthew Conlan and Tom Rhee explain:
It has long been our analysis that [Seadrill's] aggressive dividend policy has never been funded solely by the operations of its high-quality fleet, but instead has been funded through the sale of i) equity (and convertible debt) in [Seadrill], ii) equity in sponsored "child" entities ([North Atlantic Drilling (NADL), Seadrill Partners (SDLP)]), and iii) the outright sale of rigs (including sales to its child entities). As long as [Seadrill] could sell these assets and equity for premium prices, it could sustain a high dividend, which in turn supported a premium valuation for [Seadrill's] stock price. As equity and asset values are slipping, we think [Seadrill] may fail to secure the sales prices and external financing required to sustain its current dividend.
As a result of this analysis, Conlan and Rhee cut their rating on Seadrill to Underperform from Market Perform. The dividends of other drillers, including Ensco (ESV), Noble (NE), Transocean (RIG) and Diamond Offshore (DO), look safer for now. They write:
While our forecasts for operating cash flow contain noted uncertainty, we think [Ensco, Noble, Transocean and Diamond Offshore] (in that order of conviction) all have enough contracted cash flow and financial resources to continue their dividend policies if they wish. Both [Transocean and Noble] have plans to raise modest amounts ($300-$500MM) of equity as well–[Noble] through its spin of standard-spec assets and [Transocean] through a potential MLP.
Shares of Seadrill have dropped 3% to $36.34 today at 11:34 a.m., while Seadrill Partners has fallen 2.6% to $30.43, North Atlantic Drilling has declined 1.5% to $8.62, Ensco has dropped 0.8% to $51.49, Transocean has ticked up 0.1% to $43.91, Diamond Offshore has dipped 0.2% to $47.47 and Rowan is off 0.5% at $32.23.

Definately yes. But not because of Obama or Bush or anyone else.
I do know that there are a lot of folks worse off now, due to the selling of jobs overseas and an erosion of our manufacturing base and lack of transition plans to a non-manufacturing economic base.
I posed the question on another forum: Can our economy recover and thrive without a manufacturing base? Can a tech/service economy sustain itself?
I honestly don't know. Not sure anyone else does either. The world has never seen it before, excpet for small scale exceptions.
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
I think anyone that is being honest realized things were going to get worse before they got better. We were on a downhill slide long before Obama took office. IMO, we had entered a perpetual downward spiral. Each industry that failed triggered the collapse of another industry. No one was going to be able to turn that around quickly. Most times it takes longer to fix things than it does to break them.
I cannot say I am better off than I was prior to Obama taking office, but fortunately, I'm no worse off. What I am,is more optimistic. I see signs of the economy recovering. My customers bought more vehicles in 2010 than they did 2009. Most are predicting to buy more in 2011 because they are expecting their business to be better. Construction companies, who traditionally lag an economic recovery by a year, have already started booking business for the 2012 calendar year. That gives me hope that we are headed in the right direction.
I will have to agree with Blackstone there. Here is another question for you: Were you better off in 2008 than you were in 2000. Just asking
I was in pretty good shape in 2000. However, over the next few years, I began to lose benefits at work and watched my income stagnate. Raises were basically put on hold for about 3 years between 2001 and 2004. By 2004, unemployment in MI, where I lived at the time, had become a problem. Realestate values were beginning to fall. Foreclosures were beoming common place, especially in Detroit where so many had lost jobs. The trend soon spread to neighboring suburbs. The neighborhood where I lived in Southfield had once been hot property, but it took more than a year to sell my house. I also owned a house in one of the nicer areas Det. where houses generally sold within weeks of going on the market. It took me 7 months to sell that house. Luckily, I left just as the market was starting to crash, so I managed to get a decent price for both houses. Today, those houses have lost about 60% - 70% of their value.
In 2004, my job was outsourced. By the grace of God, I was able to find another job within the company. It required that I relocate, but that wasn't a problem for me. By 2006, the company went through a reorg and downsized. Quite a few of the people I had worked with were terminated. Had I stayed, more than likely, the same would have happened to me.
When I move to KC in 2004, economics here were pretty good, unemployment was low, and home prices were still on the rise. However, beginning about 2006, you started to see economic decline here as well. Unemployment began to spike, especially in MO, where it went from 4.4 in April '06 to 8.9 by Jan. '09 (it was 3.2 in Jan. 2000).
But my retirement funds are stagnant in value, despite a 10% contribution and 150% match on the first 6%.
Income has not quite kept pace with inflation, and fixed costs have increased around the home front.
More to it than that, but I'd have to say no. Of course the same can be said for the last 4 years, or 6 years because much of the above remains true as well.
Absolutely NO!
Taxes have gone up. Local property taxes, state income taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes etc. Price of gas has almost doubled. Rates for electricity have gone way up. Food prices have gone up. Heck a bag of sugar is now a four pound bag rather than 5 to hide the increase. Car registration fees have increased. Just a few examples.

I got a box of Federal Strut Shok magnum turkey loads from my brother as a gift. They are 3 inch 1&7/8 oz. of #6 shot with 4 dram eq of powder. They are listed at 1210 FPS muzzle velocity.
There is buffer in the shot, but it is not plated.
I think he bought them because he saw a Gobbler on the outside of the box and knew it was what I hunted for.
Anybody shot these? How did they perform? Just curious.
I may keep them for an "in case of emergency" shell or burn them up at the range.

A stepping stone path is easier to create than a full-blown walkway and lends charm and practicality to your yard. Here's how to make one:
Leather gloves
Flagstones or garden pavers
Utility knife, spade or garden trowel
Crushed limestone or sand
Rubber mallet
1. Examine your lawn and note where the grass has been regularly traversed and has worn down to natural path. This is the ideal place for your stepping stone walkway.
2. Determine the placement of the stones so they align with an average person's comfortable walking stride. Walk along the path and place spikes where the center of your foot lands at each step as you move along the path.
3. Use a wheelbarrow to carry natural flagstones or manmade patio pavers to each stake. Remove the stake and center the stone or paver atop each spot. Using a long utility knife or a garden trowel, carve a line around the perimeter of the stone. Remove the stone and dig out a layer of sod, removing soil so that the hole is about an inch deeper than the depth of the stone. Make the bottom of the hole as flat as possible.
4. Pour a 1/4- to 1/2-inch layer of crushed limestone or coarse sand on the bottom of the hole, packing it down and making it is as flat and level as possible. Use a level to see that the bottom is flat and level. If you're using coarse sand, you may moisten it with a fine spray of water to help tamp it down and pack it tightly. This layer will keep the stone from sinking over a period of time.
5. Now place the stepping stone into the hole and press it into the packed material. Then pack a little more of the loose sand or crushed stone around the stepping stone to give it some added support. Tap the stone with a rubber mallet or stand on it to set it in place. Repeat steps 3 through 5 until you've completed your path.

I really like the Rouxbe recipe for rich chicken stock. I like to take it one step further. Instead of simmering on the cooktop for six hours, I put the stockpot into a 250-degree oven, often overnight. It's happy in there, unmolested by direct flame, and all of the goodness of the ingredients is distilled into liquid bliss. Try this with the tomatoes from your garden - use the same technique, but once the tomatoes are boiling on the flame, put the stock pot in the oven and let it barely bubble at 200-250 degrees for several days. Check it after the second day because it can caramelize as it is reduced, and it becomes the perfect flavor base for classic Mexican cuisine! Once your perfect tomato paste is cool, you can line muffin tins with Saran wrap and fill with gems of tomato, freeze, store in freezer bags, and in the middle of next year's worst blizzard you can add the fresh taste of High Summer to any dish.
I noticed the bottoms of the garlic heads were already either trimmed or cleaned of dirt and roots, and the leeks were not cleaned at all. Given that other recipe(s) on Rouxbe highlight the importance of cleaning leeks, I'm curious why the cleaning was omitted.
Secondly, I was talking with a chef the other day and he said he never uses celery leaves in his soups or stocks because they impart bitterness. (This is based on a test stock he made from celery leaves.) Is this your experience also?
Chicken bones, backs and necks is what we used in the video. Perhaps it looks like meat on the bone, but I assure you they were just bones. Bones will still have some meat attached to them, which will add lots of flavor to the stock.
If you had meat on the bones though you could also use that to make a broth rather than a stock, see our Broth Lesson in the Rouxbe Cooking School - http://rouxbe.com/school/sections/20/objectives
Hope this helps!
dont worry about the meat on the bones.
next time you do this, try not to be cheap and put the whole bird in, wings thighs and breast still intact.
u might want to ask your butcher to remove the skin though...
there is nothing in the world that is better than a chicken stock made with a whole chicken or two
Indeed you can add meat to the stock, essentially you would then be making a broth. We go into in more detail in the cooking school lesson on How to Make Broth. We also talk about it in How to Make Broth Soups. Cheers!
Depends on what you are using it for really. If you desire a nice clear stock then you can go ahead and strain it again. If using it for things that don't require a clear stock, such as stews etc. then dont' worry too much about it. Taste it what matters most. If it taste good then you are good to go. Cheers!
Just put this on the stove now. I could only get 4.5 quarts of water in there. So..... just go with that and have a richer stock? Or.... add water at some later point in the simmering as room becomes available? If I add water later, should it be cold water or hot (to match the stock temp)?
As long as the bones and other ingredients are covered then you should be okay. As you thought, you will just have a more intensely flavored stock, which is not a bad thing. If you do need to add more water to ensure things are covered then you should use cold water (as mentioned in the lesson on Stock Making Fundamentals). Cheers!
I had some left over bones and threw them in a pot and then came to find this recipe. I haven't used the stock yet but the smell was delightful. I put it in two bags and froze this morning. I'm really looking forward to using it.
The only thing I regretted was not having a use for the vegetables. I would have pureed and given to the dogs if not for the onions. I'll figure out something.

My 98th GigaPan, 'Hollywood, California the day after Christmas 2012' is the third one using my 'hybrid' GigaPan unit (a 'BetaEpic' ).
My GigaPan Epic100 broke last month, GigaPan could not fix it.
Instead of buying a new Epic100, I cloned the Camera bracket and trigger mechanism from the broken Epic100 onto the base unit of my old GigaPan beta unit. It works, and is actually a lower profile unit than the Epic100.
This 30 image shot was done with my Nikon510 with the lens at about 135mm.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Patents
The bipartisan Innovation Act is the best bill yet when it comes to fighting patent trolls. This post is the first of a series explaining the bill's various provisions. While the Innovation Act won't fix every problem with the patent system, it includes a powerful set of proposed reforms that—taken together—will significantly reduce the threat of abusive patent trolls.
Join us in supporting the Innovation Act. Take action and contact your member of Congress now.
Heightened Pleading
Patent trolls are facing another legislative threat from Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), who today introduced the Patent Litigation Integrity Act (S. 1612). This bill is a fairly simple—but very important—one that would curb patent trolls' dangerous litigation practices. We strongly support the bill and sent Sen. Hatch a letter today saying as much.
We have praised the Innovation Act of 2013, introduced this week by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and co-sponsored by a bipartisan coalition, as the best patent troll-killing bill yet. We support the bill because it offers a host of fixes to the growing patent troll problem. Taken together, these reforms will help stop the abusive patent litigation that has targeted everyone from grocery stores to podcasters.
Today EFF, together with Public Knowledge, filed an amicus brief in Nautilus v. Biosig Instruments. This case deals with a key problem with the patent system: the flood of vague and ambiguous patents. The petitioner is asking the Court to take the case and restore the Patent Act's requirement that patent claims be definite. In other words, that patents actually put people on notice, in advance, of what they cover and what they do not.
Today, we are one giant step closer to real patent reform in the United States. Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), along with a broad bipartisan coalition, has introduced the Innovation Act of 2013, comprehensive legislation that, if passed, would severely limit trolls' ability to continue their trolly behavior. The bill is cosponsored by Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Spencer Bachus (R-AL), Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), Howard Coble (R-NC), Peter Defazio (D-OR), Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Blake Farenthold (R-TX), Lamar Smith (R-TX), Tom Marino (R-PA), and George Holding (R-GA).

I received the following from the folks at Browning this morning.
"A5s are shipping now. If you ordered an A5 from your dealer a few months ago, you should expect a call soon. Or, better yet, call your dealer right now. Because the hunting seasons are upon us and we know lots of you have been very anxious to get your hands wrapped around a new A5 and bring down some birds."

Local bridesmaid fashion pro Allison Long reports on trends and star sightings from Bridal Fashion Week 2009
Allison Long of Bella Bridesmaid here in Charleston just returned from the Bridal Fashion Week in New York, where designers debut their looks for spring 2010. Wondering what's coming to Bella Bridesmaid in months?
"Lots of one-shoulders, soft colors and soft fabrics were seen along with updated versions of the tried and true classics," says Allison.
From left to right: Allison Long (co-owner Bella Bridesmaid, Charleston), Kristy Young (Greenville Bella Bridesmaid owner), Randy Fenoli, and Ashley English (co-owner Bella Bridesmaid Jacksonville, Florida)
Pop into the King Street shop for tales from their Manhattan fashionista trip. For starters, Allison met gown designer Amsale and fashion director Randy Fenoli from Kleinfeld's (aka the shop from TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress") at Martha Stewart Weddings magazine's fifteenth anniversary party—at The Plaza, of course.
From left to right: Lisa Brigham (rep for Amsale), Kristy Young, Amsale Aberra, Ashley English, and Allison Long
And besides attending shows (and ordering samples) from the likes of Jenny Yoo, Coren Moore, Melissa Sweet/Priscilla of Boston/Vineyard Collection, Two Birds Bridesmaid, and Simple Silhouettes, she also met with a handful of designers that, should things work out, will introduce their labels to Charleston.
For a peek at some fresh new looks for bridesmaids, call (843) 425-8079 or e-mail Allison at firstname.lastname@example.com for an appointment, and mark your calendar for the next trunk show:

Recreation and Sport Management
What does a recreation and sport management major study?
A recreation and sport management (RSM) major at Coastal Carolina University will gain opportunities to study, analyze, evaluate and successfully lead within the dynamic fields of recreation and sport. Students acquire the foundational skills, knowledge and experience for successful entry into the wide array of sport and recreation settings. All students complete 58 credit hours of specific RSM major courses in areas such as legal issues, program and event planning, leadership, facility management, research and evaluation, and communication, and the program culminates in a semester?long internship.
Why study recreation and sport management at Coastal Carolina University?
• There are two tracks that allow students to focus their study on their career areas of interest. Students in recreation management focus on careers in the public or private sectors that are generally communitybased, participatory and nonprofit. The sport management track emphasizes careers in public or private sport venues that are typically commercial, spectator or entertainment?based, and for?profit.
• The major is a career?oriented degree which emphasizes the transfer of skills, theories and knowledge to practice and, ultimately, to the workplace. To this end, students participate in a variety of hands?on and field?based projects throughout their program. Several courses utilize service learning principles to collaborate with local agencies or departments to sponsor recreation or sport?related events in the community.
• All students are required to complete a semester?long, 480?hour internship in a setting aligned with the student's career goals.
• For its ability to provide an array of amateur, recreational and competitive sports to all ages, Myrtle Beach was recently named South Carolina's "Sportstown USA" by Sports Illustrated magazine. This affords students and faculty unique opportunities for experiential learning.
What are some career options for recreation and sport management majors?
• Athletic Director • Marketing Director

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Geoff Collins wants Mississippi State's defense to take on his personality, and if Saturday is any indication, that process is well under way.
The Bulldogs held their first full scrimmage of the spring at Davis Wade Stadium, and the defense got the better of the offense. That pleased Collins, who after two years as co-defensive coordinator is now in complete charge of that unit.
Collins has seemingly boundless energy, and that's rubbed off on the defense, which came out hot Saturday. The first-team offense scored only twice – on a 48-yard field goal and a 40-yard touchdown pass – on its first eight possessions.
"The big thing is they came out with a lot of energy, a lot of juice, and they executed," Collins said. "I went through every call that we have on defense, and the one defense executed every call. Now some of them they only executed once or twice, but I hit every call with the one defense.
"Wasn't a lot of busts, wasn't a lot of mental mistakes, but it was a positive experience."
The first-team defense was led by Matthew Wells, who had three tackles, two tackles-for-loss, a sack and a pass break-up; cornerback Justin Cox, who had four tackles and a pass break-up; and defensive end Denico Autry, who recorded five tackles.
Redshirt freshman linebacker Beniquez Brown paced the second unit with nine tackles.
"We had everybody playing together," Collins said. "I don't know if the same 11 guys played together more than 10 plays. That's good just to have the multiple looks that we could give, the multiple adjustments, and the guys flew around."
The offense finally came around during the second half of the scrimmage, with the first team scoring on five of six possessions – all on touchdown passes by Tyler Russell. The senior completed 28 of 40 passes for 307 yards and six TDs on the day.
But neither he nor head coach Dan Mullen were happy with the slow start.
"Offense, everything's about rhythm," Russell said. "Those guys count on me to go out there and make passes and the receivers to catch. … It all starts with me, and I've just got to do better at starting off strong."
Russell's top target was junior slot receiver Jameon Lewis, who continued his strong spring with nine catches for 143 yards and three touchdowns. Josh Robinson paced the run game, gaining 90 yards on 14 carries.
MSU has now held seven of 15 scheduled practices. The Bulldogs plan to scrimmage again Friday, and the annual Maroon-White spring game is set for April 20.

Deeplinks Blog posts about WIPO
Video is an enormous part of the Internet today. At least two thirds of all Internet traffic is streaming video. YouTube is the third most-visited website in the US and the world, and its users add a mind-boggling 300 hours of new content every minute—dwarfing the video produced for broadcast or cable television. And unlike television, online video came into being without government oversight, all due to one important neutral platform for innovation—the Internet.
"It is disturbing to learn that African governments support copyright exceptions", said author Elinor Sisulu, in a pamphlet distributed by the International Authors' Forum to delegates at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva this week. At a side event organized by IFFRO (the International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organizations) on Tuesday, Katie Webb, Administrator of the Forum, painted a dire picture of authors living below the poverty line and laid the blame squarely upon the copyright exceptions used by libraries and educational institutions. Canada was singled out for particular criticism for having broadened educational exceptions in 2012, leading to a reduction in royalties paid to a monopoly collecting society.
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has been working towards the development of a Treaty on the Protection of Broadcasting Organizations since 1998; about three times as long as the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations have taken so far, but with far less to show for it. Part of the reason for the delay has been a fundamental lack of clarity about what the whole exercise is actually about.
EFF is in Geneva this week at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), where the organization's Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights is gathered to debate proposals for a treaty to give new legal rights to broadcasters, and for instruments that would standardize copyright limitations and exceptions for libraries, archives, educators and researchers.
More about those proposals will be coming in a series of updates this week. But first, why are we at WIPO at all? Here's a short history lesson to explain.
Member states of the United Nations concluded the draft of an international treaty this week that gives people with visual and reading disabilities better access to copyrighted works. The treaty comes as the result of collective efforts to carve out protections for the blind and reading disabled that faced years of resistance from rightsholder industries. Drafting efforts spanned nearly a decade at the UN World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), culminating in a final session in Marrakesh, Morocco running from June 17 until they finalized the treaty on Tuesday.

Innovation Forum to feature early business ventures, April 20
Posted April 13, 2006; 03:27 p.m.
Fifteen Princeton scientists and engineers will talk about their
early-stage entrepreneurial ventures at an Innovation Forum at 5:30
p.m. Thursday, April 20, in the Friend Center Convocation Room.
John Ritter, director of the Office of Technology Licensing, will open the forum with an overview of technology transfer at Princeton. Bill Martin of the JumpStart New Jersey Angel Network, a group of private venture capitalists, will moderate the event, which is open to the public.
Researchers will give short presentations describing ventures that spring from Princeton's science and engineering laboratories. Among the presenters:
• Jeffry Stock, professor of molecular biology and chemistry, will talk about coffee extracts that may one day alleviate Alzheimer's disease.
• Ivan Glesk, senior research scientist in electrical engineering, will discuss a compact holographic data storage system.
• William Happer, professor of physics, and his students will present their work on manufacturing miniature atomic clocks.
• Niraj Jha, professor of electrical engineering, will discuss research on nanotubes that may revolutionize an important type of microchip.
At a reception following the event, forum presenters will be on hand to answer questions about their ventures and display posters that graphically explain their work.
The forum is sponsored by the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences' Center for Innovation in Engineering Education, the JumpStart New Jersey Angel Network and the University's Office of Research and Project Administration.

Princeton University Orchestra performs 'Hansel and Gretel,' Dec. 7-8
Posted December 4, 2001; 10:10 a.m.
The Princeton University Orchestra will offer two concert performances of Engelbert Humperdinck's beloved opera "Hansel and Gretel" at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Dec. 7-8, in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall.
The cast combines members of the voice faculty from Westminster Choir College, Rutgers University and Princeton University, as well as the Westminster Children's Choir, Patricia Thel, director.
The role of Hansel will be sung by mezzo-soprano Barbara Rearick, who made her Carnegie Hall debut in 1993. Gretel will be sung by soprano Martha Elliott, who graduated from Princeton University, earned a master's degree from the Juilliard School and currently teaches voice at Princeton.
Conductor Michael Pratt said the performances will offer something for everyone. "Children are enchanted by the vivid retelling of the timeless tale, and adults find the deeper themes of love and salvation powerfully moving," Pratt observed.
Tickets are priced at $5 for students and $15 for others. They are available at the Richardson Auditorium box office. Reservations can be made with a credit card by calling (609) 258-5000.

I found the unleashed prime yesterday at 6pm (weird) at TRU Burbank. That thing is sweet but very expensive (29.99) but I still had to buy it.
I found the unleashed prime yesterday at 6pm (weird) at TRU Burbank. That thing is sweet but very expensive (29.99) but I still had to buy it.
$30?!? Is he the same size as Unleashed Bumblebee (and SW Unleashed, for that matter)?
I'm sure there'll be plenty of New Bumblebees around eventually. I don't think there's ever been a basic-line Transformer I've ever NOT seen many times over in the last few years.
Have you guys seen the Target exclusive transforming Optimus Prime in the Unleashed-esque packaging for $19.99? (It's more of a hexagon, not a straight tube.) I picked him up yesterday and am very impressed!!! First Transformer I've bought in years...
Yep, I got him that first week when they were $2-off. He's not bad! I managed to turn him into a truck reasonably well without reading the instructions
The same toy is being repackaged as Voyager-class Prime for wide-release... same price, just less 'metallic' paint I think.
Toonimator, i'm sending over a PM about the Hawkman stash.
I've had the Robovision Prime for a few weeks now but i'm tempted every time i see Leader class Prime!
Does anyone know where Entertainment Earth is moving to? I hope it's still local...

I stashed a TF Dreadwing at Eagle Rock Target. PM me if you would like it.
Picked up McChewie and Legends Maul from La Brea Target this morning.
I got the Joker JLU packs thanks to Toony's stash. You never got back to me about the Hawkman stash so i systematically went through a few aisles, trying to guess where it might be hidden. The force was with me as i actually found it along with a Titanium Pegasus.
Pasadena Target seems to be the only place with VTSC on clearance. There was even a lone Snowtrooper on the pegs at around 2 which i bought.

This call was made for a guy and his son. He said he wanted a purpleheart paddle...do what you want for the rest.
The box is curly maple with walnut ends, the base is the same curly maple with a padauk sandwich, the paddle is purpleheart with a curly maple accent on the handle. I like to draw so I added some turkey tracks on the paddle and a nice strutter and flyer to the box sides.

Bob Iger just confirmed the rumors: there will be more films outside Episodes VII-IX, based on individual characters. Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are currently working on them.
This would be a great way for them to revisit popular characters who likely won't be appearing in VII-IX - Vader, Jabba, Yoda, Boba Fett, Darth Maul, etc. Awesome!

Cape Lookout
National Seashore
North Carolina
Sea, Sky, and Sand
Cape Lookout National Seashore is a low, narrow, ribbon of sand running from Ocracoke Inlet on the northeast to Beaufort Inlet on the southwest. These barrier islands—88 kilometers (55 miles) in length—consist mostly of wide, bare beaches with low dunes covered by scattered grasses, flat grasslands bordered by dense vegetation, and large expanses of salt marsh alongside the sound.
Wind, waves, and currents are continually at work reshaping these low-lying islands; one strong storm can create extensive changes. In such an environment only the most tenacious plants can survive the constant battle. Of the plants, the grasses are the most important, for their deep roots help to anchor the sand. For this reason, sea oats, a large grass with a grain-like head, is protected by law. Please do not pick it.
Human beings, too, have found this environment difficult to deal with but also protective and bountiful. One of the earliest maps that shows Cape Lookout dates from 1590 and calls the area "promontorium tremendum"—horrible headland—in recognition of the area's treacherous shoals. Behind the islands, however, are several sheltered anchorages that can shield a vessel from a Northeaster or, as in World War II, an enemy submarine. Fishing and whaling have for centuries been an important industry on the Outer Banks. In the 19th century, the small settlement of Diamond City on Shackleford Banks became famous for the excellent salted mullet it shipped. The secret lay not in the quality of fish, but in the care the Diamond City processors took in cleaning, salting, and packing the fish. Commercial fishing continues today as the forces of nature continue to shape and alter these islands.
