A Golden Stonefly Calineuria Pacifica perches on an alder leaf bordering Oregon's Deschutes River. This 2-inch long insect is a juicy meal for a hungry trout. |
Golden stoneflies Calineuria Pacifica are slightly smaller than, but not necessarily less important than Salmonflies as trout food. They begin to hatch about two weeks after the Salmonflies hatch. Actually the hatches overlap, and both species of insects are out and about in mixed populations at the same time. As the Salmonflies taper off, the Golden Stones continue to be in the stream side vegetation for another week or more. In the Pacific Northwest, these hatches usually start in May and continue into June. In Idaho and Montana these same hatches are a June/July event. In the higher elevation of the Rocky Mountain States, hatches can continue into July. Some cold Pacific Northwest spring creeks have prolific hatches of golden stones as late as September. | ||
Mating takes place in the streamside vegetation. Golden Stones are indiscriminant lovers. |
According to Dave Hughes, in his pocket book, Western Streamside Guide, Golden Stones usually have three year life cycles. They spend all but two to three weeks of this time crawling over and through the gravel of the stream bottom. Here they are active hunters of smaller stream dwelling insects, which they over-power and dispatch with their large curved mandibles. During their life as a water breathing insect they continue to grow by periodically shedding their exoskeleton and growing new ones. These periods are called instars. Golden Stones go through many instars before they crawl out of the water to change into a winged adult. These instars happen while the nymphs are secluded under rocks in the streambed. While the new exoskeleton is fresh and pliable it is bright yellow. During period of high water when there is bed-load shift some of the bright yellow nymphs become available to trout. Fishing a brighter colored yellow nymph such as the FFS Golden Stone during spring run-off can be very productive. Fishing a nymph such as the Double Bead Golden Stone just prior to the hatch can be even more productive. Larger size Gold Rib Hare's Ears and smaller Kauffmann Golden Stones can be productive all year. | ||
Golden Stones bring larger trout to the surface. |
It is hard to tell the reasons why, but when Salmonflies and Golden Stones are in mixed populations on the Deschutes River, trout often prefer Goldens. This happens often enough to make the Chubby Chernobyl and Norm Wood special the two most popular dry flies during this time of year. If there is an egg laying flight (usually mid-afternoon) trout will make explosive rises in all parts of the river. Flies such as the Rogue Stone are deadly during these periods. Bring your fly down on the water hard to get the fish's attention amid the egg layers. During period of inactivity, fish close to the banks and under low hanging trees. Trout will be there to engulf clumsy crawlers that fall into the river. These are good places to try the Chubby and Norm flies. If you get refusals from spooky fish, throw a Clark's Golden at them. The lighter weight, smaller fly will often do the trick. You will also want to carry a few Stimulators and Improved Golden Stones with you for change-up flies. Also use the small pair of scissors in your Abel Perfect Tool to customize any of your flies to meet changing needs. Flare the wings of your flies during egg laying periods. Trim your flies to have a streamlined appearance when the bugs are dying off. |
Chubby Chernobyl Dry Fly |
The Chubby Chernobyl as was designed to be fished as an attractor pattern, which means it might appear to the trout as any number of different food organisms, such as a grass hopper, a stonefly, a cricket, a large beetle, bee, or your neighbor's favorite kitten. To me it looks like a tiny skate board with legs. It does appear that trout on the Deschutes think that it looks very much like a golden stonefly, so much so that the Chubby has replaced the Norm Wood Special as the go-to "searching-fly" with many anglers. There are several reasons for this fly's popularity. It floats low, like a real stonefly, and this makes it very hard to tell from the real live critter. It floats forever, with or without dressing. It is extremely easy to see in all light conditions therefore it is easy to control all aspects of your presentation. The origin of this pattern is claimed by several tiers. |

Norm Wood
Special, Golden Stone Norm Wood was a very popular fishing guide on the Deschutes River for 30 years. His Golden Stonefly pattern is tied with a wing & tail made from tan dyed calf tail hair. Calf tail traps air between the hairs fibers and floats very well. Some anglers believe that these flies will often out produce patterns tied with the more conventional elk hair wings and tails. The lower fly at right was trimmed to the most popular configuration. There are a number of Norm Wood Specials out there. |

We have examined this pattern as tied by the originator, and copies of the original flies as sanctioned by Norm, and flies that are so called Norm Wood Specials done by tiers who had no knowledge of the original concept. The flies we sell are meant to be trimmed. (A picture of this fly pattern is second from the bottom at right.) This pattern imitates a golden stonefly, which is a very low floater. In our experience the Norm Wood special fishes best if it is trimmed to lie very flat on the water. If we sold them trimmed to how they work the best, they | A trimmed Norm Wood Special that has caught twenty trout. | |||
would be so ugly that you wouldn't buy them. Besides trimming much of the bulk from the fly, many knowledgeable anglers treat the wing with a high viscosity floatant such as Cortland Dab or Mucilin Paste. This slicks the wing down and makes the fly ride even lower. We learned a great trick many years ago from our friend Bill Howland, who rubbed Mucilin on his Salmonfly patterns and then baked them in the oven so the floatant would penetrate all parts of the fly making them nearly unsinkable. | The above Norm Wood special in action. | |||

In most rivers, golden stoneflies are even more common than the better known Salmonflies. They are highly predacious as nymphs, feeding on midge larva, mayfly nymphs and smaller stoneflies and caddis larva. Golden stones stay in the nymph stage for about three years. They can not swim so if thy become dislodged from the current they are often easy prey for trout. | |||||

Stone Fly Nymph, Golden Like all other insects, stoneflies must shed their exoskeletons in order to grow. Some species of stoneflies turn from dappled brown shades to gold color for a period after this process. This brightly colored nymph pattern is very effective during high water periods when newly transformed nymphs are being washed from the gravel. These flies are heavily weighted. |

In their
purest form, fishing flies are supposed to fool fish into believing
that they are eating something that they normally feed on. Most avid
fly tiers put a lot of study into what game fish eat in their
natural environment so that they can replicate those organisms with
tying materials to exacting detail. One would suppose that the tier
who can construct the most believable counterfeit has advantages in
fooling his/her prey. It's called "Matching The Hatch". "Attractors" are fly patterns that don't really fit into any of the hatch-matching game. In fact many "Attractor" flies aren't reminiscent of anything that ever lived, or anything that fish would eat, or even anything that trout would regularly encounter in their natural environment. There are "Attractor" flies in nearly every category of flies. Dry flies, wet flies, nymphs, streamers, and bucktails all have their "Attractor" contingent. "Attractor" flies are regularly used in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Apparently there are "Attractor Patterns" designed for nearly every specie of fish that is pursued with fly rods. Some species, such as steelhead and tarpon are often more interested in "Attractors" than they are in flies that look like real food. Many of us trout fishers grew up reading the works of Skues, Marinaro, Scwieber, Hafele and Hughes. All these renowned trout anglers have done a great deal of study into what trout eat, and then shared their ideas with the rest of us. Anglers who understand trout, and the environment that they live in have many advantages over anglers who don't. |
So one wonders why a trout would eat a stonefly nymph made almost
entirely out of purple Mylar. After collecting hundreds of insect
samples from dozens of streams and lakes, I have never encountered
any living critter which was purple and blindingly reflective. Yet,
trout will often eat flies that are purple, or bright red, for no
apparent reasons. Maybe they are the same reasons that trout will
take spinners with whirling blades, or lures that are fluorescent
chartreuse or fluorescent orange. Fact is that many trout have been caught on oddball colored flies as well. One of the most popular dry flies, the Royal Wulff would be hard to fit into any insect family. The plot continues to thicken. Why would a trout eat anything with a brightly polished brass bead on its head? For that matter nothing lives in or along the bottom of our rivers that have bright white wings, yet thousands of trout have fallen for Bead Head Prince Nymphs which have both bright beads and white wings. It is evident that trout see their environment different than we do. Their eyes see spectrums that we don't. Many anglers fish to gain this knowledge. It is fairly easy to study aquatic trout foods and attempt to replicate them with flies. As this game is played we often find that our senses have much in common with our quarry. "Matching The Hatch" is a reliable approach. But, there are apparently many senses we don't have in common with trout. Organ array is different between us and them. For instance our brains are bigger, but we don't have lateral lines. It would be hard to believe that any of us would eat anything which had a brass bead for a head. But, then how many of us have been seduced by a gold watch or a pair of diamond earrings. Fact of the matter is, bead head flies work. (And so do diamond earrings). |
Bead Head
Copper Nymph Utilizing an incredibly fast sink rate for such a tiny fly it gets near the bottom where trout would expect to find it. With a forked tail, neutral colored body and striped legs, this nymph approximates many things that trout feed. It has been proven with many great |

Bird's Nest, Natural This pattern was designed by the late Cal Bird in 1959, who owned a small fly shop in San Francisco in the 40's and 50's. The Bird's Nest was first tied for the Truckee River as a caddis pupa pattern. It is doubtful that the first Bird's Nests were tied with bead-heads as this was not the fashion until the mid-1980's. |

Head Batman Nymph This fly is designed as a Purple searching nymph that is styled after the ever popular Prince Nymph.

Dorado Flies for fish called Dorado, Mahi Mahi or Dolphin Fish, Coryphaena hippurus |
Dorado are one of the finest fly rod game fish species in the world. They are beautiful to look at, aggressive toward well presented flies and are extremely athletic when hooked. Below are listed the top six fly patterns for the Sea of Cortez, which offers very strong dorado fishing from June through October. The single most productive fly pattern during our nine trips to Loreto, Mexico has been the 2/0 Mark's Sardina. This fly is usually used in combination with a slow sinking line and is presented to fish, which have been chummed with live sardinas. The next most productive fly is a size two olive and white Deep Eyed Minnow. This fly has an erratic, wounded minnow action, and is a good bet when fish are working smaller baitfish. Poppers are great fun when dorado are feeding right at the surface. The Witchcraft Popper has also been effective when presented with a fast sinking line below the surface of the water. Fast strips impart a swimming action. |

Dorado means gold in Spanish. It's a reasonable name for a fish that can turn bright gold along the sides, but they are usually bright greenish blue along the back and have liberal amounts of blue spots and the pectoral fins are very bright electric blue. Dorado are one of the most successful fishes and are found in tropical waters, world wide. In Australia and most of the Atlantic Ocean the specie is call Dolphin (not to |
be confused with a family of sea mammals of the same name). In Hawaii they are called Mahi Mahi. Dorados are prime fly rod sport fish for a number of reasons. They are very strong and acrobatic. They spend a lot of time around the surface of the water where they are comparatively easy to reach while fly fishing. Dorado grow incredibly fast. At one year old, most Dorado exceed 6 pounds and may be over twenty pounds at age two. Three year old Dorado usually exceed thirty pounds. Few Dorado live beyond the forth year. The world record is 87 pounds. Once the fish reach maturity they spawn every six weeks and broadcast about 400,000 eggs. The eggs which are about the size of the head of a pin hatch in about 60 hours. The little fish start growing immediately. This fast growth rate keeps them eating constantly and they are very aggressive biters most of the time. They feed on bait fish |
of many sizes and are fond of sardines, flying fish, mackerel and squid. On a recent trip to the sea of Cortez several fish were vomiting up squid as they were being played. This attracted more Dorado which quickly consumed the free meal. Some of the squid were more than a foot long. When hooked a Dorado runs hard and often jumps spectacularly, then slugs it out all the way to the boat. They can exceed 50 miles per hour for short bursts. Ordinarily they save a bit of energy to thrash about madly as the angler tries to either release, or land the fish. |
Dorado have multiple groups of wicked little teeth that can chew your leader and flies. It is advised that when large fish are expected that a shock tippet of 50-60 pound test is used. A simple leader formula is as follows: 12" or less #50 shock tippet, 16'" or more of #16 or #20 class tippet, 3' of #50 butt section. Sections of leader can be assembled with surgeon's knots. Smaller fish can be landed on straight twenty pound test tippets. Our favorite rods for Dorado are #10 to #12 weight. |
Or favorite line for most fishing conditions is Rio's Outbound Short Head with a slow sinking intermediate tip. Fast sinking shooting head fly lines such as Rio's DeepSea lines are a good bet for fishing bait fish and squid patterns when weather/water conditions keep dorado from feeding right at the surface. Intermediate or floating lines with intermediate tips, are best for fishing poppers. Dorados like to hang around anything that is floating on the water. Floating weed mats, debris, rays or turtles will often have Dorados under them. I once hooked a 20 pound Dorado from under a single floating Styrofoam cup. Many Dorados that are caught with flies, have been chummed up to the boat with live or cut bait. Most Dorado caught from the sea of Cortez are chummed with live Sardinas, which are stored in well aerated live-wells. |
Another way to attract Dorado to the boat is to
simply troll a fly and when a Dorado is hooked the commotion will
attract others that can be cast to. This method is hard on fly
lines, as trolled flies often revolve and twist the line. Using
conventional gear to troll with is easier on your fly gear. Dorados can be picky. Often they will be keyed on one type of food. It pays to have a range of sizes and kinds of flies that imitate the range of food organism that dorado eat. On several trips to the Pacific Coast of Mexico, very large flies that saved our trip. We found that trolling 12" Marlin flies was the easiest way to pull deep feeding Dorado to the surface where we could get at them. Once a school was around the boat, we could chum them with Sardinas and then get them to eat flies that looked and behaved like the bait, but it was the big flies that got the game started. Ordinarily the bigger fish like to feed on larger flies. |

We need jobs. The monthly snapshot of the unemployed, (in August still 9.1 percent), tells only part of the story. Looking over a whole year, close to one-third of workers have lost jobs or had their hours cut, according to a new Economic Policy Institute analysis. Families have been hit hard, with four in ten of those surveyed saying that they or someone in their family has been out of work in the past year.
So your upcoming speech about job creation is very important. It's clear you will be offering up proposals likely to be opposed by the extreme right wing now occupying seats in Congress. But your Administration must come up with a way to isolate the extremists and help Americans get back to work.
A first step is to speak the truth about what the nation needs, with proposals of sufficient scope to make a difference. Tens of millions of people directly affected by lost work, lost earnings and lost benefits will support plans that have a plausible chance of reaching them. Give people something to fight for and they will make it impossible for the extremists to prevail. That's just what happened when public opinion stopped proposals for immediate cuts to Medicare and Medicaid in the debt deal you signed in August.
What would the people I know be willing to fight for? We'd like to see the power of the federal government harnessed to get needed work done and to protect people from forces beyond their control.
Each of the above proposals has multiple benefits. By expanding the number of workers, we help families to have enough to eat and to be securely housed. The new EPI report tells us that the proportion of children with a parent who is unemployed or underemployed doubled from 2007 to 2010. Children are the nation's poorest age group. Their health and development will improve if their parents are earning more, an outcome that should be one of our highest priorities.
Further, improved transportation, school facilities, and health care in communities make them attractive for economic expansion, creating more jobs. And let's not forget that unemployment insurance benefits spur the economy too since the cash is spent in supermarkets, gas stations and hardware stores nationwide. For every dollar spent on jobless benefits, more than $1.60 in expanded economic activity is generated.
The extreme right does not believe in any of this. It is exploiting concerns about the deficit to weaken government's capacity to respond, whether to natural disaster or economic stagnation. But most Americans expect more of government; they expect it to play a key role in solving our problems. If your jobs speech offers real solutions, you will win our support.

Foundations brings young men and women into a real life encounter with Jesus. This option is perfect for those who love discussion based learning and hands on principles. Find out more!
CLBI is currently accepting applications for the 2014-2015 academic year. Click here if you or someone you know would benefit from a year at Bible school.
The Word of God is the focus of our worship services, the textbook for our teaching, and the foundation of our daily lives. Whether we are learning, teaching, singing, talking, or playing we want to be people of the Word.
We want the Good News of God's grace to us in Jesus Christ to be the centerpiece of our mission together. All people need the Gospel. God's children need to hear it again and again. The Good News is God's power, which saves us, draws us together and motivates us for service.
We revere God's Law. The Law of God cannot save us, but it is necessary for our salvation. We need to see our sin and be driven to the cross of Christ for forgiveness. We need to be reminded that we cannot earn God's love or merit His blessings. We need the ethical guidance that God's Law gives. We dare not make up our own morality. The Word and the Sacraments are God's precious means of grace. The Word teaches us, Baptism washes us, and the Lord's Supper nourishes us. In our sacramental life together we are brought again and again to the crucified and risen Jesus Christ, who alone is the source of our salvation.
We cherish the love and fellowship of God's people. We need each other. We need the spiritual gifts, which the Holy Spirit imparts to His people. We experience God's peace as we worship and work together, forgive one another, and bear one another's burdens.
We long for people to trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, to come to know Him in a personal way. We are called by the love of Christ to share His Gospel. Our mission is as local as our neighborhood in Camrose and as universal as the whole world.
We seek to be people of prayer. Whether in public worship, small groups or in our personal lives, we want prayer to be foundational. Prayer supports and propels us in our mission. We desire that prayer be as essential in our school as breathing is to our physical life.

text: No Age Discrimination to Replace Employee with Computer SoftwareBy Ted Olsen In a case showing that robotics may have an adverse effect on the employment rate of persons who perform non-repetitive tasks and exercise judgment, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has held that a dismissed employee whose functions were replaced by a new process and related computer software cannot present a prima facie case of discrimination. Gortemoller v. Int'l Furniture Mktg., Inc., No. 10-15689 (11th Cir. July 20, 2011). Summary judgment for the employer was affirmed. To present a case of disparate treatment age discrimination, a plaintiff must show he or she "was replaced by or otherwise lost a position to a younger individual." In Gortemoller, the plaintiff's duties - such as "conducting research to determine what new product to produce," "working with designers on product," "selecting designs produced by" his employer, "developing and merchandising product," and "traveling to market to sell product and evaluate the competition" - were simply characterized as those of an "intermediary between salespeople, customers, and designers." When the plaintiff was fired, the company implemented a web-based computer program that allowed salespersons to communicate directly with designers about what products were needed and allowed customers to provide feedback directly to salespeople and designers. As the plaintiff was replaced by a new process and computer software, not a younger person, he failed to present a prima facie case of age discrimination.

Open Post: Hosted By Lindsay Lohan's "Fetch" T-Shirt
On the first episode of OWN's Lindsay: I'm Just Doing This For The Check, we learned that Lindsay Lohan is still a freckled ball of narcissism who is a serious whoarder and lives in a coke bubble where she's the only trick that matters. During most of the episode, LiLo and her assistant, who was dressed like a Town Car driver most of the time and will probably check into a mental hospital by the time the last episode airs, looked for an apartment for her to rent on Oprah's dime. LiLo lived in a hotel until she found an apartment, and her hotel room was a metaphor for her entire life. It was a mess. It looked like the inside of a Salvation Army that was hit by a hurricane and a tornado at the same time. Bitch's life is full of baggage both figurative and literal.
Speaking of LiLo's baggage, the best part of that mostly boring shit show was when she visits White Oprah's Haus of Delusion on Long Island. LiLo had all of her stuff shipped from L.A. to NY and kept it at her mom's house until she found a place. When White Oprah opens her front door and hugs LiLo, her face lights up like a BIC in front of a cigarette when she sees the cameras. It warms the rawest part of my dark heart seeing a fame whore reunite with her true soulmate: the camera. White Oprah's mouth said, "Having Lindsay Lohan back in New York is one of the happiest days of my life," but her face said, "Having the cameras on my face again is the happiest moment of my life!" Never forget Living Lohan.
And later when LiLo is going through more of her shit, she finds a Fetch t-shirt. She holds it up and White Oprah's head burps out a question mark as though someone just asked her, "Quick, what's your youngest's first name?" White Oprah checks the label to see who made it, to which LiLo says, "It's from Mean Girls." Oh, don't mind White Oprah, the drugs nibbled at most of her memories. White Oprah looked at the shirt and said, "awww," as she thought about all the gin money she'll make when she forges LiLo's signature on that t-shirt and sells it on eBay.
Here's a clip of LiLo reading a journal entry from one of her times in rehab and White Oprah being the worst by just being White Oprah. Last night's episode definitely needed some Nana Lohan.

Warning: The Raw Sexual Energy Between These Two Might Be Too Intense For Some
Wow. That giant space between the crotches of Anne Hathaway and her husband Adam Shulman just gave me flashbacks to middle school dances chaperoned by prude-y killjoys who used to walk around making sure nobody was grazing no-nos to Joan Osbourne's One of Us. All that's missing is a whiff of shoplifted Tribe and the taste of Orbitz and my brain would have a full-on meltdown.
Anne Hathaway took a break from whatever it is she's been doing lately (sing-screaming songs from Pippin to her Oscar until she passes out from joy) and flew to Miami with her husband for a vacation. Normally when you hear the words hot celebrity beach makeout, your ears perk up and you pray that you're about to see pictures of a sweaty, half-naked Joe Manganiello frolicking on the shore with a mermaid like Brucie Jenner, but sadly these picture of Anne Hathaway on the beach are no more than a literal description. She's a celebrity, she's on the beach, she's making out with a person, and I'm assuming it's hot because statistics show that Miami frequently experiences temperatures in the mid-to-high 80s.
But only Anne Hathaway and her husband A-Shul could suck the sex out of Miami like they're doing here. "Oooh baby, you know I like it when you wear those baggy saggy dad-trunks. I hope they conceal the raging boner you're no doubt getting from my sun-protecting long-sleeved shirt. Oh yeah, hold me like you're a Macy's mannequin who's been posed to look like they're holding several throw pillows."
Because I know you're dying to see more of the fapworthy chemistry between Anne and her husband, here's more of them getting extremely G-rated on the beach in Miami. And one very special picture of Mr. Anne flipping off the paps. Uh oh, don't go starting shit with the people who could come between Anne and her first true love (pictures of herself).

Lily Allen Says Her "Feminism Shouldn't Be A Thing Anymore" Comment Was Made Up
You know what really shouldn't be a thing? Those short Moe Howard bangs.
Lily Allen was awarded the Feminist of the Century award on International Women's Day after she supposedly told Shortlist that she doesn't understand why feminism still exists since women and men are equal now! If your brain needs a brush up on the foolery that came out of Lily's mouth, here's a couple of quotes:
"Feminism. I hate that word because it shouldn't even be a thing anymore. We're all equal, everyone is equal. Why is there even a conversation about feminism? What's the man version of feminism? There isn't even a word for it. Menanism. Male-ism. It doesn't exist.
I don't think men are the enemy. I think women are the enemy. I know that when I'm sitting in a restaurant and a really beautiful woman walks in, who's skinny, I instinctively think, 'Oh, she's really skinny and beautiful and I'm really fat and ugly.' So it's more of a competitive thing. It's weird. It's just really unhealthy and we're our own worst enemy."
When a writer for Holy Moly called her out in a post, Lily found the writer on Twitter and screamed that she was misquoted and her words were Sarah Palinized before they were published in the issue of Shortlist that she guest edited (Good job at editing, Lily!). Lily was misquoted, but she's used to it since she's always misquoted! How very Kanye of her. In a series of tweets, Lily spit this out:
I deal with sexism and misogyny every day, I'm patronised on an hourly basis, so excuse me if your article has fucked me off. They weren't my words, you interpreted them wrongly and SHORTLIST misquoted me. I do 20 interviews a day. I'm misquoted in nearly all of them.
If Lily's words are turned around in almost every interview she does, she should try something knew. She should turn on the opposite switch in her brain and say the opposite of what she means. If she's a feminist, she should tell the interviewer that she's a proud misogynist and hates all women, so they'll quote her as saying, "I am a feminist!" But Lily's mouth always squirts out a geyser of fuckery, so I don't think she was totally misquoted. She probably doesn't remember the words that came out of her ass during that interview, because her brain was operating on the wrong kind of bad shit. And yes, I'm sure she was also on the wrong stuff when she chose to wear her bangs like that. Looking like Pebbles Flinstone got crazy with a pair of safety scissors.
Jennifer Lawrence's Career Advice To Shailene Woodley: Don't Do Drugs Or Make A Sex Tape
Before Shailene Woodley agreed to play the lead role in Divergent, a film about a dystopian future where poor people are depressed and try to overthrow the government using future weapons (I'm guessing, and I'm probably right) she wanted to make sure she was making a good career decision, so she went to the person who knows first hand what it's like to star in a movie about sad people in the future who are always worried and shooting at stuff. According to E! Online, Shailene knew that if anyone could give her good advice, it would be America's Rillest Girlfriend, Jennifer Lawrence:
"I sent her an email—I had never met her—and I was like, 'Hey, Jen! I know you don't know who I am, but I have this opportunity and I was wondering how Hunger Games affected your life, if you were happy with your decision, etc. She was like, 'Listen, there are a few things that you should not do, like drugs and make a sex tape, or go to Whole Foods the day the movie opens, but it's gonna change your life in so many positive ways. Definitely do it.'"
I thought chapter 3 of the Hollywood Handbook was Filming Your Coke-Fuled Hook-Ups: Your Ticket To Stardom. How are you supposed to create buzz for your movie without getting high and 'accidentally' nip slipping in the frozen shrimp section of Whole Foods? Maybe J-Law is the regular real gal she's made out to be, because she doesn't know the first thing about what it really takes to make it in Hollywood.
And I know Jennifer meant well with her response, but she did a huge disservice to Shailene by not addressing the biggest mistake she's currently making: wearing those disgrossing toe-groping sport shoes.

Paula Patton Is Probably Going To Take Robin Thicke Back
Robin Thicke has loudly let it be known that he wants his wife of over 8 years Paula Patton back and he's done everything except for hold a boombox outside of her bedroom window. But I'm sure he's currently being fitted for a trench coat to make that happen. Robin told the audience at one of his shows last month that he was trying to get his girl back and at his show in Atlantic City last week, he did a cover of "Let's Stay Together" and dedicated it to Paula. TMZ says that Robin's public displays of begging are working and Paula is close to taking him back. "What a surprising and shocking development," said not one bitch.
TMZ says that sources in Robin and Paula's circle (there's several finger banging jokes in there) are telling them that she is slowly stepping away from divorce papers and is considering giving their marriage another try. Even though Paula is not impressed with Robin's eye roll-worthy public declarations of love, she's been talking to him over the phone all the time and telling him what he needs to do to make their marriage work. Those phone calls must be really short. Because if Paula's telling him what to do to keep their blessed union intact, she's probably only saying 10 words to him: "Keep your ho shit antics on the down low, slut."
Sources also tell TMZ that Robin's been hanging out with their kid when he can and that pleases Paula.
For those of you who labeled Robin and Paula's split as a shameless stunt, this is playing out exactly the way you thought it would play out.
1. Paula tells the media that she's broken up with Robin after he gets caught with his sticky fingers in the cookie jar. (The cookies were oatmeal in case you wondering.)
2. Robin acts like a devoted and caring husband by publicly telling everyone that he wants to save his marriage.
3. Robin and Paula leak stories to TMZ about how he's begging her to take him back and she's like "whatever" but is slowly warming to the idea.
4. Paula and Robin declare that they're back together on the cover of People and the headline is: "NO MORE BLURRED LINES! We're Fighting For Our Love!" Robin is husband of the year! Paula is wife of the year! Their marriage is marriage of the year! Everyone forgets about those open marriage rumors! And cherubs put down the arrows they were going to stabs themselves in the hearts with, because true love is restored! Meanwhile, groupie whores hoping to get a piece of Robin shrug, because they know the game he's playing. And Katy Perry makes a sad face, because her dream of publicly dating every man slut in The Man Slut Trifecta is over for now.
Elisabeth Moss Says Her Marriage To Fred Armisen Was "Traumatic"
When Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss married SNL's Fred Armisen, it seemed like such a weird random pairing that raised my eyebrows so high they eventually receded to the back of my head, where they stayed until the two got divorced and Elisabeth started spitting some hot truth about her ex-husband (at which point my eyebrows returned to sit comfortably above my eyes and relax in the shade she was throwing). And in an interview with New York Magazine, Elisabeth is back at it, serving as a cautionary tale of dickmatization gone wrong:
"Looking back, I feel like I was really young, and at the time I didn't think that I was that young," Moss says. "It was extremely traumatic and awful and horrible. At the same time, it turned out for the best. I'm glad that I'm not there. I'm glad that it didn't happen when I was 50. I'm glad I didn't have kids. And I got that out of the way. Hopefully. Like, that's probably not going to happen again."
Elisabeth was introduced to Fred Armisen by Jon Hamm after he hosted SNL, so here's hoping Jon felt a teeny-tiny bit of guilt for playing Shitty Matchmaker ("Did someone say shitty matchmaker?" – Patti Stanger) and sent the Hammaconda to comfort Elisabeth in her time of need. Forget therapy dogs, nothing can turn a frown upside-down and make you forget about a terrible ex like Jon Hamm's giant lap-gopher.
And here's more of Elisabeth in New York Magazine looking like the sluttiest senior picture at the Sears Portrait Studio by popping her $cientolo-side boob in a pair of denim overalls. And for those of you looking at Elisabeth flashing the goods from her hotel window and saying "Peggy would NEVER", she so would.
Warning: Toxic Levels Of Douchery Ahead
If Everlast found a way to turn Justin Bieber's deposition video into a punching bag, they'd be the richest company on the planet and we'd all have broken knuckles and triceps the size of that little twat's ego from punching that shit repeatedly. Because damn, the Biebs' deposition video could be used as propaganda for the Abuelitas 4 Spanking League.
The runny bowel nugget that Canada shat onto the US was deposed last week in Miami for that lawsuit thrown at him by a paparazzo who was allegedly attack by his bodyguard and TMZ got a hold of the video. It's smugness triple wrapped in arrogance and covered with several layers of thick, frothy dick cheese. The Biebs' face contorts into an arrogant smirk at almost every question that the paparazzo's lawyer asks him. The Biebs pretends he doesn't know Usher's government name, he asks if it's a deposition or an interview, he calls the lawyer Katie Couric and his anus lips pop off when he's asked about Selena Gomez. It's the most hilarious thing this wet piece of tampon lint has ever done. He's a spoiled, bratty, shit head toddler one minute and a know-it-all asshole dad the next. It's one hundred percent pure douche and I think my asshole is cleaner from watching it. Kanye and King Joffrey both watched this and said at the same time, "Tone it down, bitch, tone it down."
I'll stop, because you really should just watch this mess for yourself. But before you hit play, Gorilla Glue your computer to your desk, because you will want to throw it against the wall before taking a sledgehammer to it.
Where was an abuelita with a chancleta when we all needed one most?! Every time that popped nipple pimple smirked, I thought to myself that if I did that in front of my abuelita, I wouldn't be able to smirk again, because my face would be paralyzed from her slapping me with all her rings on. The next time the Vanilla Ice butt plug is deposed, the other side should bring an abuelita with them for ammunition. The abuelita wouldn't even have to slap him. She'd raise a switch at him and he'd go running out of the room while screeching like a kid who was pepper sprayed in the face by a trans flower on the subway.
And the words, "I think I was detrimental to my own career," will one day be etched into his career's tombstone.
Color Me A Goopy Shade Of Shocked: Gwyneth Paltrow Was A Mean Girl In School
"What? NO! That's crazy! She's such a sweet, down-to-earth girl!" - your mom confusing Gwyneth Paltrow for Glynnis Parker, the secretary at her church. Then after you stare at her in utter disbelief for a solid 60 seconds, she finally realizes you said Gwyneth Paltrow. "Oh, Gwyneth Paltrow the actress. Of course she was a Class-A bitch in middle school."
I always had the suspicion that Gwyneth was probably an insufferable hag since childhood (I imagine she slid from Blythe Danner's uterus complaining about the lack of imported embryonic fluid) and now thanks to Radar, we now have confirmation from one of Gwynnie's former classmates that she was just as much a snobby terror at 16 as she is now:
"Gwyneth always seemed like she thought she was better than the rest of us," a former classmate told Radar about the GOOP founder.
"She was in a play where she had the princess role and she told another girl in school that 'of course' she was playing that role because she was a princes and the other girl was not and that's why she didn't get the role. No one was surprised, she was so smug, even back then."
The source also went on to say that there's a 99.999% chance that no one is accepting Gwyneth's friend requests on Facebook:
Decades later, the source said now that the Park Avenue princess has moved her family back to LA the girls she was mean to when she was younger haven't changed their opinions of her.
"A group of women that didn't get along with Gwyneth back in the day want nothing to do with her now. They still live in LA and have no interest in hanging out with her or being friends at all!"
In other news, water is still wet and the Earth still orbits around the Sun. But I'd love to know more about the kind of awful mean girl shit Gwyneth pulled in High School; I bet she made the mean bitches from Carrie look like The Baby-Sitter's Club. Someone get Maya Rudolph drunk and see if she spills any secrets!

Hurricane Sandy makes landfall in Cuba
MANZANILLO, Cuba (AP) — Hurricane Sandy made landfall Thursday just west of Santiago de Cuba in southern Cuba, where residents boarded over windows and cleared drainage gutters ahead of the strengthening storm that had roared across Jamaica and left two dead in the Caribbean.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Sandy, which had strengthened to a category 2 hurricane, was located over southeastern Cuba and moving north at 18 mph (30 kph), with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph (165 kph) and is expected to remain a hurricane as it moves through the Bahamas.
The 18th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season was expected to pass to the west of the U.S. naval base at Cuba's Guantanamo Bay, where pretrial hearings were being held for a suspect in the deadly 2000 attack on the destroyer USS Cole off Yemen. The military warned the 5,500 people living on the U.S. base to be ready for the storm. Officials said there was no threat to the 166 prisoners.
The hurricane center said that Sandy would leave Cuba Thursday morning and would pass over the Bahamas later in the day. It might bring tropical storm conditions along the southeastern Florida coast, the Upper Keys and Florida Bay by Friday morning. Early Thursday, the tropical storm warning was extended northward as far as Flagler Beach and a tropical storm watch was issued for the northeastern Florida coast.
Cuba's Communist government, known for its quick response to natural disasters, announced the evacuation of about 450 tourists from beach resorts near Santiago, according to Cuban state media, though hotel workers told The Associated Press they were not expecting any major problems.
Sandy "is a complex of strong rains, very intense," said civil defense Col. Miguel Angel Puig, adding that the rains could affect 200,000 people in Cuba.
The U.S. hurricane center had said Sandy is expected to produce total rainfall of 6 to 12 inches across Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic and eastern Cuba.
"These rains may produce life-threatening flash floods and mud slides, especially in areas of mountainous terrain," the center said.
Eastern Cuba is mountainous and home to independent and state farms growing yucca, sugar, corn, coffee and fruit, among other crops.
Fishermen on the Gulf of Guaranayabo, which Manzanillo is located, moved their boats to safer ground.

World of Warcraft, being an open ended MMORPG, is not subject to unwinnable situations as a whole (it's more of an Endless Game).

Personally, I'm not really a huge fan of them. I've seen some that I like, but often times I feel like it ruins the feel of the card due to it shining (probably spelled that wrong). For example, if I'm playing a black deck, I want the cards to look black and dark.
Opinions? I thought maybe instead of foils, it would be kind of cool if Wizards instead of printing foils offered alternate artwork on cards (I know it'd be near impossible to do on every card for every set, so maybe just the Mythics and Rares? And in order to let players know that its an altered art, they could put the artist's name in gold or something in a corner on the art)

Referring to writer and publisher T.R. Threston (Tina Threston): In life there are those who talk, talk, talk and nothing gets done. Then there are the ones that do and look for glory because of what they did. Then there are the true good hearts in the world and Tina is one them! I curse and spit on anyone that ever doubts Tina's words, generosity or intentions! If they do, clearly they do not know her and they do not deserve to know her!

Ask a Vet: How To Train Hungry Lab Puppies
Welcome to our weekly 'Ask a Vet from the SF SPCA' feature on 7x7.com. They've enlisted their Co-President, Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, to answer your questions every week. Got a question for Dr. Scarlett? Ask away in the comments!
Q: We have a new Labrador puppy that is not a "self feeder"... he is, well, a garbage disposal. Is there any way to train our new hungry puppy?
A: By garbage disposal do you mean your Lab puppy eats everything in site and/or eats really fast? It isn't unusual for Labs to do both. If you get a couple of veterinarians in a room we'll start talking about all the amazing things we've had to surgically remove from dogs—especially Labs.My favorite is removing 6.5 pounds of sand from one! Indiscriminate eating can lead to some serious illness and worse. Generally dogs eat fast but some dogs really inhale their food and this can lead to bloating and gastrointestinal disturbances.
Be certain your pup at a normal weight. Pups can go through some growth spurts that leave them ravenous. There are guidelines on how much to feed them but you may have to make some adjustments for growth spurts or days when they've really played long and hard at the park. If a pup is really acting hungry after feeding time, offer another handful or two of food. For really young pups, (8-10 weeks old), it is recommended that they eat for about 20 minutes— unless they are gorging themselves. Competition with other dogs can cause unnaturally fast scarfing down of food. Separate your pup from other animals at feeding time so she/he can eat in peace. Last but not least, there are a couple of easy mechanical things you can do to slow down a fast eater. One way is to make it hard to grab a big mouthful of food—see http://www.brake-fast.net/store/home.php —or make a homemade version by simply cleaning off a brick or large rock, (big enough there's no way your dog will eat it!) in the food bowl. If you feed dry food, try filling a Kong with kibble, sealing the end with wet food then freeze it. Some guardians keep 3 to 4 Kong toys in the freezer so they always have food prepared and ready.
While we can't answer all of the questions here, please feel free to ask us during our Friday Twitter Ask the Vet Chat. If your animal's problem is of an immediate nature, please call your vet or you can reach the SF SPCA at 415-554-3030 to make an appointment.

Lou Schmidt IV, 54
Title: President
Education: Attended Hillsdale College, and earned a bachelor�s degree from Walsh College in 1990, and a master�s in 1996
Family: Mary, wife; two sons, Lou Schmidt V, 28, and Carl, 25; two daughters, Lauren Nowicki, 30, and Hannah, 17

For Lou Schmidt IV, the president of the Michigan division of HoneyBaked Ham, one of the enduring lessons he learned in business � and life � came from his maternal grandfather: Never give up.
Nationally, HoneyBaked Ham has three divisions with annual sales of about $500 million. About half of the company�s stores are corporate owned, and the other half, are franchises. The Troy-based Michigan division, which Schmidt runs, has about 100 retail stores in 14 states.
Ironically, however, the reason the company exists today is because at first, his grandfather, Harry Hoenselaar, failed. He invented a spiral slicing machine that he couldn�t sell.
�He intended to sell his (device) to packing houses, and wrote dozens of letters,� Schmidt, 54, said Thursday. �But, every one of them got returned. They said, �Thanks, but no thanks.� But, he never quit. He was convinced this machine was going to change the industry.�
So instead of selling the machine, Hoenselaar started HoneyBaked Ham in 1957.
He bought the Detroit meat shop he worked for, added a sweeter glaze to the hams, sliced them on the bone with his patented machine � and began selling them to families who wanted them for holiday dinners.
His shop, Schmidt said, quickly grew, going from $4,300 a year in sales 1958 to $1 million in 1970.
After Hoenselaar died, the business was divided among his four daughters, who established divisions in different parts of the country. Schmidt�s parents took over the business in Michigan � and started him working in it when he was in elementary school. And, Schmidt said, he decided at a young age he would one day run the company.
In addition to other family members, two of Schmidt�s four children � Lauren Nowicki, 30, and Lou Schmidt V, 28 � also work in the business.
�The company is the result of the genius � and persistence � of a man who just wouldn�t take no for an answer,� Schmidt said. �My grandfather never gave up.�
