Black Nosed Dace ---Need Help
I found some Black Nosed Dace patterns on e-bay
Fly Fishing Flies Freshwater Dozen Black Nosed Dace Size 6 New | eBay
When I looked on the Internet for Tying Instructions though, none of the patterns looks very much like this. Everybody has their own interpretation of the Black Nosed Dace, and the variety is very great.
Can someone suggest a basic materials list for the pattern as shown on E-Bay? Thanks. Appreciate it.
Re: Black Nosed Dace ---Need Help
why ? that's not a black nosed dace to me.
that pattern is white floss body, silver mylar rib and gray squirrel wing.
Re: Black Nosed Dace ---Need Help
My "Talleur's Basic Fly Tying" book lists the following recipe:
Hook: Long shank streamer
Thread: Black
Tag: Fine red yarn
Body: Flat silver tinsel
Wing: Three layers; from the lowermost; White polar bear hair, black bear or skunk tail hair, brown buck tail.
He then adds the insert, " I suggest you make a few substitutions. ...polar bear hair is illegal. We'll use a synthetic substitute. I also suggest substituting embossed tinsel for the flat and black dyed squirrel tail for the bear or skunk. "
The photos look to be about a size 6.
My "Flies of the Northwest" credits the pattern to Art Flick, the materials are similar except for a silver oval rib over a flat silver tinsel body and a wing, from the bottom, of white, black and brown all buck tail. In sizes 2-10.
Re: Black Nosed Dace ---Need Help
---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------
The other variation of it that's productive is on a shorter shank streamer hook with everything the same except the silver tinsel is replaced by silver Mylar tubing it gives the streamer a more full look!
Re: Black Nosed Dace ---Need Help
you cant go wrong with charlie tying them
Print Black Nosed Dace
Re: Black Nosed Dace ---Need Help
Re: Black Nosed Dace ---Need Help
+1 on Charlie's pattern for the dace. Or anything else for that matter.
I learned more from his beginning fly tying book than anything else I've ever done, including tying with the local folks here :).
The only even thing close to a criticism I have on his patterns is they are sometimes too perfect and a bit over-the-top for me ;). I tend to use a lot of his techniques (like plamering buggers front >> back and catching with the rib, etc.) but I boil-down some of the steps and materials to make them simpler.
Charlie is great -- :fishing:
Interesting note: To this day, the biggest fly rod fish I've ever caught was on a #8 black nose dace, tied by me but very, very similar to Charlie's method. I just used an extra silver wire over the tinsel and red yarn instead of his red tail material. I really don't like the red yarn though, I'd prefer his tail over mine.
Re: Black Nosed Dace ---Need Help
Hi Bob. I would sure like to know how you made your tail.
. That looks very nice.
Re: Black Nosed Dace ---Need Help
A natural black nosed dace is very distinctive and they're only found in the cleanest water.
In Art Flick's "Streamside Guide" (c.1947) the recipe is
Body---Best quality medium silver tinsel
Tag----red yarn, very short
Hair---- natural polar bear , black bear or black hair from skunk tail, and brown bucktail
Hook--- No. 4,6,8, or 10
He goes on to say that white bucktail can be substituted for the polar bear, but the polar bear hair is preferred because it has better action.
I caught some nice landlocked salmon and large brook trout on black nosed dace this season.... all tied Clouser style ;)
Re: Black Nosed Dace ---Need Help
Thanks Riptide. I'm adding your data to my tying instructions.

Amazing as it may seem, a centre speaker may be required to reproduce over 60% of the entire output of a film soundtrack. This means that it must deliver the dramatic impact of explosions and sound effects as precisely as it recreates the many tonal subtleties of dialogue. The outstanding dynamic reach and generous power handling of the Gold Signature LCR speaker allow it to master the most dynamic drive conditions with ease and still have something in reserve. Monitor Audio has optimised the design to provide accuracy and control over a wide listening area while preserving the exact tonal signature and balance of the GS Series. This means that the GSLCR will integrate perfectly with any of the speakers in the Gold Signature range.

2017 Spring Leaf Collection Information
Public Work's leaf pick-up program will start a week early this year due to the quick onset of winter weather and continual freezing temperatures last year – PW will start picking up leaves at the curb on March 27 and run through April 13th – NuWay starts leaf pick up the first week of April and will continue on your respective pick up date through April 14th. Leaves for Nuway pickup must be in the kraft bags but no sticker is needed.
Curbside Yardwaste Collection All yardwaste must be contained in 33-gallon brown paper bags, specifically designed for yard debris. Each bag must have a NuWay Disposal yardwaste sticker affixed to it. Blue 95-gallon yard waste carts are also available to rent from NuWay Disposal. For pricing information, please call the (their) office at (708) 479-9555. Branches may be cut into 3' or 4' lengths, no larger than 6" in diameter, and placed into the bags or tied into reasonable sized bundles. Each bag and or bundle must have a yardwaste sticker attached for the material to be collected. No plastic bags or any household garbage or wrappings should be mixed in the yardwaste bags or carts. We will not be able to collect any yardwaste containers that have these contaminants in them. Yardwaste will be collected one time per week on the same day as your household waste from April 1 through November 30.
When using the blue 95-gallon yardwaste containers for refuse during the months of December through March, you must attach 3 red garbage stickers to the cart or your garbage will not be picked up.
Free Leaf Pick-Up Period We would like to remind Village residents that the Village of New Lenox offers its residents an alternative to leaf burning. Each Fall during a 6-week period and each Spring during a 2-week period, leaves that are bagged in the brown paper yardwaste bags are collected free of charge to the residents. As part of the Village's contract with our disposal service, Village residents who place their leaves in brown paper yardwaste bags do not have to affix yardwaste stickers on the bags during the 6-week during the Fall and 2-week period during the Spring. These yardwaste bags are collected by Nu-Way on the same day as your regular garbage collection. The fall free leaf collection usually starts the middle week of October with the ending day typically the last Saturday in November, which coincides with the annual end-dates of landscape waste facilities' season. Our Spring free leaf collection period typically begins the first week of April and runs for two weeks. Please note: Yardwaste bags filled with grass clippings, garden waste, and brush still require that yardwaste stickers be affixed to each bag or bundle.
Free Leaf Bags for Senior Citizens In addition to the free leaf collection for bagged leaves, the Village offers ten free yardwaste bags per Fall for our Senior Citizen Households. Each fall, our senior residents are provided ten free yardwaste bags as part of our refuse contract with NuWay Disposal. We would like to remind Village residents who are Senior Citizens (over the age of 65) to stop by Village Hall to get their packet of ten free yardwaste bags. Bags will be available from mid-September through the end of November.

Spray-painting my AR?

However you paint the slide, it will wear off again. Getting some kind of ion/melonite finish would help much more, as the problem is rust.
On the polymer lower, very little will stick to it. Maybe Krylon Fusion, it claims it will do it.
The overall effect on something as small as a pistol means that the effective result in the field isn't so much. It's more personal taste.
I avoided much of the problem by buying the furniture already molded in the color I wanted. It will never lose the color or need refinishing, just add patina and get camo'd more as I use it. Many foreign gunmakers did that for special units in the past, and the Army is moving to Dark Earth on all the new .300 Win Mag sniper rifles. AR makers like Spikes now offer anodizing other than black, like the Brown Recluse model.
I like black, I'm repainting my Jeep in it, on firearms, not so much. Nothing yells "Gun!" as much as black. My friends don't need to be intimidated, and my enemies all walk on four legs or more and don't need to know.

Will Chelsea Handler return to vodka and one-night stands?
The 36-year-old E! comedienne and her hotelier beau Andre Balazs have called it quits after less than a year of dating, her rep confirms to Us Weekly.
In May, Handler told Piers Morgan Tonight about her relationship. "I'm seeing someone now, but, I have spent so much time exposing my personal life to everybody that I finally am in a situation where I feel like it's disrespectful to another person," she said of Balazs, who once dated Uma Thurman.
"I've learned to respect somebody else's privacy," Handler, whose exes include rapper 50 Cent, Animal Planet star Dave Salmoni and Comcast CEO Ted Harbert, explained. "It's not about me, because obviously I would like to make fun of him as much as possible, but he has kids, so I have to be nice."
When asked whether she was in love, she replied: "I have very strong feelings."
Tell Us: Are you surprised by Chelsea and Andre's split?

Seriously, Yonex has the worst frigging names for its shoes. Yonex SHB SC2 EX?
Pro tip: be like Asics and name your shoes something meaningless but at least cool-sounding, like say "Asics Gel Game 3".
With that being said, these shoes look pretty tight. And when your buddy sees you on court, you can turn to him all casual and be like, "What, these? Oh yeah, they're the Yonex SHB-SC2EX's".

Music from the most unlikely places: Meet the Landfill Harmonic [video]Landfill Harmonic
Stories don't get much more inspiring than that of the Landfill Harmonic, an children's orchestra in Paraguay born from the trash heap on which they live.
After finding the shell of a violin in the garbage, the town of Cateura was inspired to start making instruments for their children to play.
Currently, money is being raised to produce a feature-length film of these incredibly resourceful people, so if you feel inspired, pay it forward and give them a hand.

Allen County Child
Support Enforcement Agency
West Market Street
PO Box 1589
Lima, Ohio 45801
Absolutely NO tax information, which includes IRS orODT payments, will be discussed over the phone bythe CCC.
One of the CSEA's enforcement techniques is the tax refund intercept program for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) that is done through our statewide computer system (SETS). The Social Security Number of the Obligor is submitted to the IRS or ODT when there are arrears, even if there is an unpaid balance upon which the Court has ordered monthly payments. An Obligor's tax refund may be intercepted even if he/she is currently paying in order to reduce arrears balance.
Your case must meet the following criteria:
A valid court order or an administrative order for support is needed.
Obligor must file and be eligible for a tax refund and not owe any other government agency.
A verified social security number for the Obligor is necessary.
An Application for Services signed by the Obligee is needed on file.
State of Ohio tax returns are intercepted if there is at least $150.00 in arrears.
Federal tax returns are intercepted on non-public assistance cases where the arrears are $500.00 or greater. (See the Public Assistance information sheet)
Federal tax returns are intercepted for public assistance cases where the arrears are $150.00 or greater.
Public assistance arrears get paid first before the Obligee on a Federal Tax return.
An Obligee's arrears are paid first on a State of Ohio tax return before public assistance arrears.
The State of Ohio will not intercept refunds on cases that are spousal support only.
Joint tax return refunds are held for six (6) months prior to being released.
There is no age limit for the child if the money is due public assistance on State of Ohio and Federal tax intercept.
Effective October 1, 2007, all tax returns are intercepted after the child turns 18 when arrears are due.

text: Because of this thread and many others I have seen I returned my Note 2. With the size of the phone I know i would drop it at some point and there seem to be very few cases (other than monsters like the Otterbox, which would just make this phone too big for me) that will actually protect the phone when it comes to drops. I was going to buy the Samsung case along with the Extra battery + dock but I read that someone had that case on it and still cracked the screen from a 1 1/2 foot drop. I can still go and re-buy the phone again if I feel I miss it too much but considering I upgraded a different line to the iPhone 5 just about a month ago and spent the $100 on Apple Care+ for it, I would have had an iPhone 5 that is fully covered against drops and everything just sitting in a drawer doing nothing. If I kept the note that would have been another upgrade used about a month apart from the iPhone upgrade, $300 more cash spent and another $10 a month for the Best Buy insurance. I also would have spent about another $100 on accessories for the Note 2 had i kept it. That's another $640 and an upgrade spent just to have the Note 2. With all that being said though, I absolutely loved the Note 2 and I think in most cases it is FAR better than the iPhone 5. I enjoyed the phone and I just wish it was a little more durable than it is. If I had not already got the iPhone 5 and Apple Care+ I would still own the Note 2 and just paid the $170 or so that best buy charges for their insurance if you buy the full 2 years up front.

Study: Most Sack Lunches Not Kept at Proper Temperature
As if there weren't enough to worry about in regards to kid nutrition and health, there was a study published by the journal Pediatrics, mentioned in the LA Times, that reports that most children's sack lunches are not kept at proper temperatures.
The researchers measured the holding temps of 705 lunches that contained perishable items of 3- to 5-year-olds an hour before they were served. They found that 97.4 percent of meats, 99 percent of dairy items and 95.8 percent of vegetables were not at what they called "an acceptable temperature."
Suggestions included putting ice packs in well-insulated lunch bags to inhibit bacteria growth and not leaving food out for more than two hours (one hour if the outside temperature is 90 degrees or hotter). The LA Times article points out that "even though many people grew up eating unrefrigerated lunches stored in paper bags with no cold packs, that shouldn't mean today's kids are safe."
If this study confirms anything, it's that classic Ellen DeGeneres quip: "A disturbing study finds that studies are disturbing."

Where's best to go walking this summer? Our top five regions for summer walking in Europe, in no particular order, are...
1. Turkey and North Cyprus
With its vast and diverse landscapes, rich history and delicious cuisine, Turkey has something for every type of walker. In the south the moderate graded Lycian Way wends its way along spectacular coastal paths and through small villages, while those who like a more challenging trek will enjoy walking in the Taurus Mountains and climbing Mount Ararat (5160m) in the east. For a more leisurely walking holiday the pretty harbour town of Kas provides the perfect base for easy graded coastal walks and visiting local historical sites.
Across the water, North Cyprus also offers wonderfully rewarding easy to moderate graded coastal and mountain walks with great views and tasty local food.
The Lycian Way, Cappadocia, Taurus & Ararat Trek, Walking The Turquoise Coast, On Foot In Northern Cyprus
2. Spain
Spain offers walkers beautiful and diverse scenery, and the opportunity to sample local gastronomic delights. Classic walks include the moderate graded pilgrimage route across the high plains of the Castilian Meseta and through the Galician Mountains to Santiago de Compostela in the north. Alternatively, enjoy easy graded walks through the Basque Country, Rioja and Catalunya focussing on the local cuisine and wine, or explore the Moorish villages and beautiful landscapes of Andalucia on moderate graded walks from our base in the charming small village of Canillas de Albaida.
Camino De Santiago, Wine, Walks and Tapas, Moorish Trails
3. Portugal and her islands
The volcanic island of Madeira offers moderate graded walks through dramatic scenery, including the impressive Balcony Walk on a path hewn into the cliff face and its famous levadas (narrow irrigation channel) trails. Similarly, the volcanic Azores Archipelago is also best explored on foot on easy to moderate graded walks; discovering rocky coastlines, crater lakes and thermal springs. Relaxing boat trips can also be taken in search of whale sightings. Alternatively combine easy graded walking with wine tasting in Portugal and Spain travelling from Madrid to Porto.
Levada Trails Of Madeira, Azores Island Hopping, Walks and Wine Tasting
4. Italy
Head to Italy for a mix of wonderful landscapes, fabulous food, good quality wine and friendly locals. Enjoy easy to moderately graded coastal walking in early and late summer on the stunning Amalfi coast where you can reward your legs with a dip in the refreshing waters of the Mediterranean. Walk in ancient forests, troglodyte cities and sample delicious local produce in Puglia and Basilicata in the far south. Escape Tuscany's summer heat in the Garfagnana Valley, a hidden gem where you can trek moderately graded trails of the Apennines and marble mountains of the Alpi Apuane.
Amalfi Coast Walking, On Foot in Puglia and Basilicata, Trails of Hidden Tuscany
5. France
France's hot summer is a time for walkers to head to the fresh air and cooling rivers of the mountains. The Alps have an intricate network of well-marked trails whilst cable cars and chair lifts provide easy access to the high ridges. For a leisurely walking holiday try an easy to moderately graded centre-based trip where you strike out each day from a comfortable hotel. If you're up for a challenge, the Tour du Mont Blanc is the classic point-to-point Alpine trek circuiting this iconic mountain. For a moderately graded walking holiday with a cultural twist culture, discover the Cathar Castles of the Pyrenean foothills.

Back in 1985, Stephen Barrett, MD published an article on the reliability of hair analysis. His studies prompted a follow-up article titled "Commercial Hair Analysis: A Cardinal Sign of Quackery". Dr. Barrett's research took hair samples from two healthy teenagers under assumed names and sent them to 13 different laboratories.

The hair analysis was to determine levels of multiple minerals in each hair sample. Significant differences in mineral findings were reported from identical hair samples sent to the same lab and other laboratories. "The laboratories also disagreed about what was "normal" or "usual" for many of the minerals."

Most of the labs generated lengthy, confusing reports potentially frightening to patients. Food supplement and diet recommendations were made but also varied widely for each report.

Commercial hair analysis according to this research is not scientifically reliable and a waste of money.

More recent research published in the Annals of Dermatology indicates hair analysis has limitations.

Hair samples from a healthy volunteer were sent to 3 laboratories using the same testing methods for hair analysis. The hair was tested for 24 different elements and results again varied widely per laboratory.

According to hair analysis results, the test participant may experience symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety, dizziness, and insomnia. They also claimed the test subject was at increased risk of skin disease and high cholesterol.

The lab reports supplied a health evaluation with predicted future illness. They also recommended an improved diet plan and promoted "branded" supplements based on the results. In actuality, the research volunteer had no health problems or required anything for improved health. He submitted to a blood test as part of the research showing all mineral values normal and excellent physical condition.

The conclusions of this research indicate hair analysis may be beneficial for drug testing and DNA, but not a reliable test on its own for general health screening.

Hair analysis has been a controversial test for years. Even though it's not completely accurate, there are potential advantages over biological tests like blood draws.

Hair analysis is less invasive and costs less than a full physical workup ordered by your primary doctor. Even a hint of truth to something can create belief it will be helpful. Look at all the fad diets and gimmicks being promoted to fix our fitness. This is no different.

We are continually on the lookout for the next best easy thing to improve our health. According to the Agency of Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, hair analysis is a good test for mercury exposure but doesn't provide accurate information on whether an individual will develop adverse health effects.

What it comes down to is making an informed decision about hair analysis and if it benefits your health.

Hair analysis may be recommended for toxic exposure, paternity, and criminal DNA investigations.

During an executive hair analysis panel discussion conducted by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the following was reported:

Insufficient data exists for health predictions based on substances found in hair samples.

Testing procedures need to be improved for more accurate "usable" results.

Mercury is the only scientifically established and measurable element benefited by hair analysis.

Research published by the Journal of Forensic Sciences confirms hair analysis as a valuable tool for determining competitive bodybuilding doping practices. Several international bodybuilders were arrested and the court ruled seven competitors be tested for anabolic compounds like steroids. Hair samples and urine were collected. Steroid substance were detected in both hair and urine.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) use hair evidence to solve criminal cases. The FBI indicates hair analysis "can be extremely valuable in the examination of physical evidence." It can determine relationship or not between the victim and a suspect. The hair follicle and shaft contain DNA detectable through scientific testing methods reliable for criminal investigations.

The Journal of Medical Genetics explains hair roots contain DNA for paternity testing. It's less invasive than blood tests making it a better alternative especially for children. Some genetic testing requires additional screening that includes RNA (nucleic acid in our cells carrying genetic information). It was discovered hair roots are also a good source for RNA. It was also suggested RNA is better protected in hair root cells than in blood samples.

Hair analysis continues to grow in popularity and used by health practitioners for nutrition assessments. There seems to be a connection between diet plans and branded supplements which are big business in the health industry.

Unless other methods of clinical testing are done in combination with hair analysis, it sounds like "proceed with caution" needs to be taken. Commercial hair analysis hasn't been proven accurate and laboratory testing procedures are shown to be skewed.

Unless you've been exposed to mercury, a steroid user, require a paternity test or under criminal investigation, it appears hair analysis isn't necessary. "Hair mineral analysis cannot be a primary tool for the assessment of individual health."

According to Journal of the American Medical Association research, hair analysis is frowned upon for medically assessing "individual nutritional status or suspected environmental exposures."

When it comes to health and fitness, become your own health care advocate. Ask the tough questions and obtain reliable answers. Put in research enabling you to make the right choices for your health and body.

Eating foods and taking supplements based on unreliable testing procedures could potentially cause more harm than good. There will always be the next best test or quick fix diet making false promises.

Establishing truth or scam is where you take control of your health. Rely on the tried and true when it comes to eating right and losing fat. Diets containing a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, grains, lean meats and healthy fats create healthy bodies. This well-known nutrition fact doesn't require losing any hair.

I teach quantum mechanics and spectroscopy, integrated experimental chemistry, general chemistry, and an advanced seminar in biophysical chemistry. I also mentor students engaged in research for credit.
The research in my lab focuses on the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy to investigate the structural and dynamic properties of membrane-bound molecules. Membrane proteins (which comprise 25-30% of all proteins) carry out many important biological functions including transport of material across membrane and acting as receptors. We are interested in developing and applying electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques to the study of membrane associated proteins.

LONDON (Mar. 6)
Two former British Cabinet ministers eulogized the late Prime Minister Levi Eshkol of Israel at a memorial meeting yesterday sponsored by the British Zionist Federation. Selwyn Lloyd, a Conservative Party Leader and former Foreign Secretary, declared that Mr. Eshkol was "a man of wisdom and courage who died in harness" and added, "may his lasting memorial be strength, security and prosperity for Israel for which he worked so diligently and ably." Emanuel Shinwell, a Laborite and former Minister of Defense and Minister of Labor, said he was authorized by Prime Minister Harold Wilson to convey to the people of Israel and Mr. Eshkol's family, "his deep and sincere sympathy and the sympathy of the Labor Party."

Springbakgaard, (Spring bank farm) is a thatched dwelling dating back to 1777, nestled round a garden courtyard. The farm has panoramic views of the Limfjord from its elevated position on Barmer hill, with Gjol and fjord-islands to the north and Aalborg and Nibe to the east.
The 17 ha. of Springbakgaard are run organically and are home to red deer, rare breed sheep, free ranging chickens and Icelandic horses. The undulating land, meandering becks and woodland groves are home to a host of wild birds and other wildlife such foxes, badgers, hares and deer.
Accommodation at Springbakgaard
In the west wing of the farm buildings, 2 environmentally friendly, country style, comfortable apartments were built in 2010. Both are self-contained with kitchen, bathroom and can sleep up to 4 and 6 guests respectively. Although they both have fully equipped kitchens, served breakfasts are also available for an extra charge. The food is, whenever possible, all organic. Springbakgaard is gernerally very environmentally-minded.
Activities at Springbakgaarden
We have grazing and stabling for extra horses in the barn, and there are plenty of trails for walking or riding around the farm, along the fjord or through nearby heath and woodland. We are also conveniently situated to access a network of local and regional cycle-ways, the closest being the fjord route, which goes round the whole Limfjord.
Whilst in the heart of the Danish countryside, we are only a short distance from a number of local amenities with 1½ km to a local grocers shop and bus stop in Barmer village; 9 km to Nibe (a charming market town), 20 km to Løgstør (famous for its shell fish), and 30 km to the university city of Aalborg with main train routes, airport, zoo, shopping, theatres etc.
