Subfloor question for tiling project..
Hi guys,
I am tiling a bedroom soon. I have already purchased the tile, but not anything else. There is currently oak hardwood that is incredibly water damaged beyond repair, so it will all be pulled up. The subfloor beneath it is plank. I know that I will need to lay down concrete backerboard to lay the tile on. Do I also need to lay plywood or OSB down on top of the planks first? If so, which is better? I have to assume that plywood is better, but how bad is OSB? I want to do what is best and most structurally sound, but if there isn't that much of a difference I'd rather go with what's less expensive. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! |

Subfloor question for tiling project..
Hi Miss Amy,
After you replace the hardwood, be prepare to repair or replace some of the subfloor. Re screw every plank using floor screws, no drywall screws. Although "subfloor" grade OSB is acceptable, I recommend and underlayment grade plywood. B/C grade should be easy to find. Install it fastening it only to the planks, not to the joists too. No glue should be used. Go as thick as you can, but no thinner than 1/2". The cheap OSB non t&g we see may not be acceptable, yet you may not want to use 3/4" thick OSB which is "subfloor" grade. Next step is the tile backer or a product such as Ditra matting. I vote for Ditra. There's obviously much more to it than what I just wrote, but those are the basics. What experience do you have? Are you installing ceramic/porcelain or something else? Are the joists stiff enough for your tiles? How old is your home? Jaz

Does Baltimore ever remind you of Mumbai, or other cities in India? If so, how?
It doesn't, but we can work on it. First, fill the streets with people until every inch is occupied. Ask every car owner in the entire state to drive into the downtown area. Stuff the light-rail with commuters so that they are hanging out of the doors (have some perch on the roof as well). Unleash street vendors to sell snacks at every corner, cover every wall with Bollywood film posters, you get the idea. Perhaps Christo might consider it for his next project?
You've noted that "Devi is the key to deciphering Mumbai." Why is that? And is the goddess key to understanding Indian culture, as well?
The keyword is multiplicity. Everything in Mumbai (or, for that matter, Indian culture) seems to coexist with its exact opposite —chaos with serenity, kindness with cruelty, extreme wealth with extreme poverty. This is what Devi (as well as the other major deities Vishnu and Shiva) encapsulate—multiple incarnations that reflect and celebrate all aspects of life. As the famous photographer Raghubir Singh said, a snapshot of India never has just one focal point—there are always multiple points of view.
In what ways did the British presence shape your worldview?
Most fundamentally, I speak, write, and think in English – the result of an English-medium legacy of education the British left behind. By the time I was growing up, though, it was America that the country set its sights on when it looked westward. The wounds of colonialism were pretty much what my parents' generation suffered from.
Does the logic and inevitability of mathematics make a good foil for fiction writing? If so, how?
To an extent, it can help with sorting out the different paths that a narrative can take. However, as I learned, this can be taken too far. Two-thirds through The City of Devi , I made an elaborate graph of all the options open to my characters, and found, to my dismay, that none were viable. Which meant I had mathematically "proved" the story could not be completed. Fortunately, the math was lost on my literary agent, who drily told me to soldier on.
A friend at UMBC told me that you co-taught a freshman seminar class on mathematics for non-math majors. What did that experience teach you?
It taught me that without at least some basic motivation on the part of the learner, it's simply impossible to engage people in mathematics, no matter how interesting or fun you make it. The subject is difficult, and for the students who were genuinely curious (and were ready to put in the effort), it was a great class. I've now taught a bunch of such courses, and they've been essential experience for a "math novel" I'm working on.
Will you be doing anymore Bollywood dances after readings?
Definitely, but this time, a striptease as the hero, rather than the heroine (as I did in Brooklyn in 2008). My only concern is that Bollywood heroes these days are very pumped up. So I've already started working out with a personal trainer (seriously).
Any favorite Bollywood films?
Perhaps it's nostalgia, or perhaps Bollywood has just become too much a copy of the worst of Hollywood of late (Barfi, India's Oscar entry for best foreign film this year was so bad that I walked out after twenty minutes). But for the true flavor of Bollywood, nothing beats films from the sixties and seventies—for me, its golden age. Try An Evening in Paris or better still, Caravan—pure escapism, but well worth it.

Two years ago, Team Rocket was destoryed by a ten year old boy. Since then, other gangs have risen to take over the turf which Team Rocket once controlled. The fiercest fighting goes on in Celadon City, where Team Rocket had their main base. Blood will be spilt. There will be a victor.
There are three factions.
The Gangs: There are three gangs in the area that fight over the turf. If you join the gangs you'll have to chose which one you join.
The Police: The Cops, the Filth, the Pigs. This is the faction trying to bring down the gangs. Many of their officers may well be corrupted.
Independent: These are trainers, that can either infiltrate into the gangs, try to bring them down or join them.
Normal BMG Rules apply
PG-13. I'll allow a little romance, but this isn't really the emphasis of the RP. All fights have to be with Pokémon.
Gang Sign Ups: You'll need this if you want to create a gang:
Gang Faction Sign-Ups
Police Force:
Independant Sign-Ups:
My Sign-Ups:
Gang Name: Team Knuckledusters
Main Source: Celadon Game Corner
Base: The Basement of Celadon Condominiums
Ranks: One Boss with Two Executives. The Gang also has an accountant.
Name: Daniel "Danny" Spencer
Age: 28
Gang: Team Knuckledusters
Rank in the Gang: Boss
Appearance: Tall and Lanky, he naturally looks like a man who'll cross you like a tapestry. He often wears a suit and a pair of sunglasses, because his face is well known in the area.
Personality: Crafty and Cunning, there's a saying in Celadon: "If you cross Danny Spencer the church gives you a free gravestone." He is ruthless and gives no second chances.
Pokémon: Krookodile, Drapion, Honchcrow

RateBeer Archives > Features A Perfect TastingSome Tastings are more equal than others...some less
July 9, 2009
Antwerpen, BELGIUM - It has become something of a tradition once a year CK organizes a tasting at his home, for a small number of invitees . Oh yes, CK, that is the CK as in SloCK, a beer you can find under De Graal. With a long history of serving at GBBF together, as well as judging a bit around the globe in tandem, I am usually one of the happy few such invitees. Now about every other guy on this site, participates in a couple of tastings (with or without rating purposes) a year. So, in itself, it isnt very interesting that yours truly also figured at one last weekend. However, there is one good reason I ought to talk about it to you, and no, it hasnt anything to do with the number or the quality of the beers. The last ranged from middling to excellent, and the number was, to all the Dr. Bill fans, not to mention our Danish crew, very modest. If one would assemble a Newbie FAQ page for raters and/or tasters, one inevitable FAQ would be: In what order do I bring forward the selected beers? And truly, that is not a totally straightforward pattern. There is the obvious ABV, but mouthfeel and final gravity also make for a point as with darker beers, usually appearing stronger and fuller than pale beers. And lastly, theres the power of very hopped, spiced beers or the overpowering force emanating from smoked malts, Brettanomyces or lactic acid. Here is why I give you this write-up: CK had managed a near-perfect structuring of the tasting. It began with the starter beers: a trio of Dutch beers (Wit, Dubbel and StormBock) from Texelse. These were meant, as CK expressed it, for entertaining the early arrivals until the group proved complete. Now neither the Dubbel nor the Bock could be called exemplary for chapters weak & light, but yet they functioned well. They came in small bottles (as opposed to most of the New World entries, later) and all were, flavourwise, in the neutral-to-sweet segment: a taste that is easily washed away by more characterful offerings. CK had the temerity to start off the real tasting with sour, lambic-type beers, next. Usually, that is lethal to other beers to follow. But as youll see, he rounded that cliff admirably. The beers in question were a trio from Iron Hill: Lambic, Kreik, and Framboise de Hill . (PS: the spelling of the cherry beer earned some remarks, but others soon pointed out that the English way of pronouncing a word as Keith , perfectly resembles the sound in the Dutch word Kriek . One Framboise can hide a next one. If Framboise Triple misses all the strong bugs from the sour ales, it has 2½ % ABV extra to offer. Mind you, when the brewery calls itself Les Frères Houblon, one is entitled to wonder what those brothers think hops might well be. There were none detectable, anyway. And then, the label so proudly spoke of the quality of the fruit added Too bad! CK figured that to set off extra sour, some extra bitter might do the trick. (PPS: we were, of course, amply provided with still water and dry bread!). So he went for another Quebec souvenir: Boutefeu Extra Amère , ( amer being French for bitter) from Microbrasserie du Lac Saint-Jean. This one collapsed a bit, as the bitterness was a strange one, coming as an afterthought, the beer oxidized to hell. All the better feared the American Olde Richmond Batch Eleven an IPA, even with a little aging, will stand up to manys the powerful beer. After an IPA, an IIPA, of course: Odyssey from Sly Fox, and to top it, DFH 90 minutes (apparently in some weird variation, but I miss the specs in my notes). There and then, CK stayed chez Dogfish Head, opting for the rare Pangaea . Now, if theres none such bitterness available in the Pangaea, this is adequately compensated by the outspoken spiciness, provided by the ginger. To round off this chapter, CK offered Firestone Walkers impressive 11th Anniversary Ale. By general acclaim, this truly superbly balanced beer made for the winner of the day, enjoying this honour jointly with Iron Hills Kriek. At 11% ABV, it might be hard to see anything else fit to follow after that unless CK would have plundered his bank account for a Utopias . He didnt need to, as there was another solution available. Baltic Thunder , a heavy porter from Victory Brewing has maybe only 8.5% ABV, but the fullness, and roasted notes of this type of beer allow for a full reset of the tasting buds. And after a porter, what else but a stout? Dragonslayer from Middle Ages of Syracuse. Interesting, but in this style, theres undoubtedly better. CK concluded this very exciting afternoon with a +/- experimental version of Gros Mollet , another product of the du Lac Saint-Jean microbrewery. Habitually at 7.8% ABV, this sample figured a full 10% ABV! (Even if we concluded there was reasonable doubt as to the claimed strength, but OK ). So certainly not a textbook sequence but one that worked very well. If you plan a varied tasting, you might pick up a hint or two, here, I hope.

Boot stompin' barn dance
Published on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 by

Beat the Blues barn dance
• Saturday, Feb. 6
Noon-4 p.m. — all-ages activities and family dancing to
Black Diamond Fiddle Club and Deadwood Revival
7-11 p.m. — dance for ages 16 and up to Deadwood Revival
• Food, raffle and portraits
• Free shuttle parking at King's Way Foursquare Church,
1023 Kitchen-Dick Road
• Adults, $15; children 5-15, $5; ages 4 and under, free
• Benefit for Five Acre School scholarships and equipment
If your dancing shoes are dusty, then Five Acre School's "Beat the Blues" dances might be the perfect excuse to buy a feather duster.
The dances are a benefit for student scholarships and school equipment, and are a chance for those with and without dancing experience to find the core — fun.
Family dance is designed to get people out of their seats and moving. It has a variety of steps taken from square, contra, waltz and polka dancing.
"The caller is skilled at minimizing the time spent learning the dance and maximizing the fun during the whole process," said longtime dance caller and Five Acre School co-founder Juanita Ramsey-Jevne.
Sponsored by Five Acre Parent Service Organization, the event on Feb. 6 is broken up into two segments. The all-ages daytime dance includes family dancing to the Black Diamond Fiddle Club and Deadwood Revival.
The evening dance brings Deadwood Revival all night, with local beer and wine available.
Food vendors Blue Flame BBQ and Bella Italia will provide food throughout both dances.
One acre to five
In 1995, Juanita and Bill Jevne started Five Acre School.
Fifteen years later, the school has grown from one small room with a dozen preschool-age students, to a three-class schoolhouse with nearly 100 students, preschool through sixth grade.
Ramsey-Jevne used her knowledge and experience to incorporate music, dance and theater and they continue to be an important part of the curriculum.
The enthusiasm for music and dance carried through the children to their parents, inspiring the family barn dance.
"We wanted to share with our community some of the great things that happen at Five Acre School," said Mary Loftstrom, co-coordinator of the barn dance.
"Family dance was a perfect starting place."
The dances are held in Cedarfield Barn on Kitchen-Dick Road. Co-coordinator Lynette Brown believes there couldn't be a better venue.
She said it's awesome watching people when they first set foot in the barn because the open rafters take her and others' breath away.
Important to dance the night away
Ramsey-Jevne, after studying and teaching for more than 25 years, believes dancing is a basic human need.
"Our modern society has become passive participants in music and dance. We consume the experience watching the experts do it," she said.
"That isn't what it is about. Music intensifies and heightens our human experience. When you add movement, then the actual rhythm of feet moving on the floor allows people to become part of the music."
She says music and dance create and strengthen a sense of community.
The proceeds of this event will benefit the Five Acre Scholarship and Equipment Fund, making the school accessible to more families.
"The 'Beat the Blues' barn dance is more than raising money, it is the Parent Service Organization's way of giving thanks to our families and neighbors who support us," Lofstrom said.
Advance tickets are available at Cracked Bean Coffee Co. and Odyssey Books. Tickets can be purchased with cash or check at the dance.
For both dances, adults are $15, and for the daytime dance, children ages 5-15 are $5, and 4 and under are free.
Five Acre School can be reached at 681-7255.

I was a Gtown season ticket holder for a couple of years. I have seen alot of Gtown bball and Otto Porter might be the best Hoya I have seen in a while. Tennessee will struggle with his versatility. I think the key is containing Starks. Golden has to slow him down. If he gets on a roll...watch out...We have to bully them on the inside. We will also need to hit outside shots to win. I think the Vols could struggle tonight...it would not surprise me. Okie St and Gtown are very similar in their physicality and defensive pressure. My heart still says the good guys pull it out.
Vols 68
Hoyas 65I think this is a very big game because UT has 3 straight big games. GTOWN, UVA, and Wichita St. We will need these wins in March because the SEC has not performed well. I dont want Tennessee to just get in the Tournament. They need a good seed. Doing well in the SEC will not be enough.
Good teams in SEC
1. FLA. (Look good)
2. Missouri (cause match up problems)
3. UK (Still good, just young, will get better)
4. TennesseeMight be good
5. Bama (too early to tell)
6. Arkansas (They have a superstar but worry about the supporting cast)Everyone else is not impressive. Some of the teams look awful. South Carolina, Georgia, Miss. St. Vandy

For Rosalie.
November 19, 2011
I've been a bit behind on things this week. I had grand plans for all kinds of things – catching up on posts here (and maybe even getting ahead!), doing some shopping to finalize our outfits for the family portraits we had taken this afternoon, reflecting on the fact that Thursday was the one-year anniversary of the very first birth I ever attended as a doula…
Then I got terrible, unexpected news from a friend. Her daughter, just 23-months old and a toddler friend of Poppy's, had unexpectedly died in her sleep. And I haven't been able to stop crying since.
I debated writing about it here since this is a pregnancy blog and I couldn't figure out how to relate this to pregnancy, necessarily, but it's all that's on my mind and writing about anything else in these moments would feel trite.
My friends' terrible news has caused many of us to pause and reflect this week. I think we're all hugging our children a little bit closer and counting our blessings. We're in shock and disbelief, having an impossible time trying to wrap our heads around the reality of such a loss. I can not imagine the depth of the grief that our friends are experiencing and I wish more than anything in the world that I could do something – anything – to lessen their pain and ease their burden. Or better yet, rewind to Wednesday and stop time altogether.
Since Thursday, my husband and I have done a lot of reflecting together, mostly about what we would do if faced with such a loss, and have talked a lot about how much we cherish our partnership, our young daughter, and our soon-to-be son or daughter. We've put aside our usual bickering, have watched our patience with our wily toddler soar, and have spent more time than usual cuddled up on the couch together, delighting in Boo's kicks and thumps from in utero.
I hope that tonight, you'll take a moment to enjoy your families, say a little prayer of thanks to the universe for all that is good in your life, and send up an extra one for our friends, Leela & Tom, and their daughter, Rosalie.
In the meantime, if you know of any good online resources for families dealing with child or baby loss, please share them in the comments.

Diiiiiiiiiiisgusting: Bacon-Flavored Fizzy Tablets
Listen: I love puking in my mouth, having it spill out into the hand covering my mouth, then into the other hand at my chin, and ultimately onto the bedroom carpet and bathroom floor as much as the next normal person. That is to say, a lot. But I don't need any bacon-flavored effervescent tablets to do the trick. Do I, booze? That's right -- only you. God I love ya. So agreeable.
If you drop one of these magic tablets into a glass of water it will instantly begin to dissolve, creating a cascade of bubbles that will infuse the water with a delicious bacon flavor. But don't limit yourself to water. These Effervescent Drink Tablets work just as well in milk, juice or soda. Great for making bizarre beverages or slipping into a friend's drink when they're not looking. Each 2-1/4" (5.7 cm) round tin contains about fifteen tablets.
$3.50 scores a tin, which might actually be worth it considering you could secretly replace one of your wife's Alka-Seltzers as a joke. Yes, now that I think about it, I want you to do that and report back to let me know how it went.
Well? Whoa whoa whoa -- hospital?! WTF'S THE MATTER WITH YOU, YOU DIDN'T TELL ME SHE WAS PREGNANT!! Which -- weird she didn't like it.
Thanks to Matt and Joe B, who both put entire tins in a gallon of whole milk and chugged it. You, sirs, are gods among disgusting eating contest contestants.
I know, I'm still dry-heaving about it. Or maybe it was the roach I found in my cereal hanging onto a Cheerio like a life preserver. Whatever the case, I think I'm empty now. Let's proceed with caution: James Gilpin is a designer and researcher who works on the implementati... / Continue →

Warsaw, 18 Apr 08 UN-HABITAT Executive Director Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka last week gave a lecture at the Warsaw School of Economics, outlining the crucial role of urbanisation to staff and students of the prestigious Polish institution.
Speaking to the more than 400 students, as well as members of faculties headed by the Rector of the School Professor Adam Budnikowski, representatives of central institutions and media, Mrs. Tibaijuka underlined economic dimension of urbanisation phenomena.
"Cities drive national economies in the industrialised countries and even nations in economic output" the Executive Director adding that it may be observed also in the developing world, where cities generate a large share of national income. Importance of the cities for national economic and social development cannot be forgotten, especially by the future elites.
However, the Executive Director pointed out, the paradox is that cities become also a locus of excruciating poverty and deprivation. The miserable life of a growing number of slums dwellers, deprived of the most basic amenities requires immediate action. The negative impact on environment by the cities, which are already consuming 75% of the world's energy and produce significant proportion of the world's waste, cannot be underestimated, either. Noting that the urban crisis – or the slum crisis – was indeed a crisis in governance, Mrs. Tibaijuka said basing on its experience, UN-HABITAT calls upon creation of inclusive cities, developed in a sustainable manner, which would allow all urban dwellers to live in dignity. "We need to see the urban poor as assets and not liabilities. We need to fight poverty and not the poor, to fight slums and not slum dwellers", she said.
Describing the mandate and activities of UN-HABITAT, Mrs. Tibaijuka briefed the audience on the agency's unique experiences in cooperation with actors on various levels. She strongly encouraged the authorities of the School to join the growing programmes of UN-HABITAT partner universities.
During the visit, Mrs. Tibaijuka also signed a protocol to the Agreement between the Government of Poland and UN-HABITAT. The Polish Minister of Infrastructure Cezary Grabarczyk signed on behalf of his government. The document further clarifies conditions of the Polish support for the Programme's Office in Warsaw which is supposed to remain operational at least until the end of 2010.
The ceremony of signature was one of the main points in the Director's agenda during her stay in Poland. In a meeting with Minister Grabarczyk, and his deputy Undersecretary of state Olgierd Dziekonski, Mrs Tibaijuka praised the existing cooperation with the Polish government, underlining Poland's expertise in the construction sector. The Minister confirmed government's engagement in cooperation with UN-HABITAT and its Office in Warsaw.
The Office, officially opened in October 2006, serves the countries of Central, Eastern and Southern Europe to tackle the problems of human settlements.

Hiking Trails
Deam Lake SRA is home to five hiking trails, which range from easy to rugged. All trails are marked with white paint blazes. At certain points on Trails 3 and 4, you may encounter trees with two white paint blazes. Two blazes means that there is a split in the trail (horse trails and rogue trails often confuse hikers), and that you should locate the next white paint blaze before continuing. Descriptions of each trail can be found below. Hikers are advised to wear hunter orange or other bright clothing while on trails during hunting season. Should you have any further questions regarding difficulty, trail updates, or problems, please contact our Naturalist, Rocky Brown, at (812) 246-5421 during regular operating hours. In addition to Deam Lake's hiking trails, a trailhead to the Knobstone Trail is also located on the property.
A Note to all hikers
You are welcome to report to the office or Forest Education Center before and after your hike if you feel it may be safer. None of the trails are extremely difficult, but changing weather scenarios can make traversing some areas a challenge. Be sure to pack plenty of water before any extended hike. Additional supplies such as a compass are suggested, but not necessary as all trails have been marked. If any horse riders are encountered on any trail except for Trail 3, please report their presence to the office, Forest Education Center, or our Naturalist. We also ask that you carry out all supplies and trash that you carry into the trails, as we are not staffed adequately to do regular trail cleanup.
Mountain Bike Trails
Deam Lake S.R.A./Clark S.F. offers 5 miles of mountain bike trails. Mountain bikes are only permitted on those designated trails. View our publications page for further details and a trail map.

HSLDA Response & Books REQUIRED to be Tested
While I was writing this response to those who did not believe books for children 12 and under were required to be tested, the HSLDA response to the CPSIA concern came thru. Here is my reply to their response.
Okay ladies, here is info on books - which affects all of us whether our children are homeschooled or in public school. Here is the link I will be discussing:
This is a response to a letter sent to the CPSC about excluding books from testing (pg 5 and onward) and the reply (pg 1-4) from the CPSC.
Note page 2, paragraphs 2 and 3 specifically.
"Second, with regard to those books that are intended or designed
primarily for children 12 years of age or younger, ordinary books are not subject to the ban on lead-in-paint. As has always been the case, printing ink is not considered a surface coating under the lead-in-paint ban because ink by its nature soaks into paper or cardboard and becomes part of the subtrate. (My emphasis for the following:) HOWEVER, A BOOK INTENDED OR DESIGNED PRIMARILY FOR CHILDREN WOULD NEED TO MEET THE NEW LEAD CONTENT LIMIT OF 600 PPM AND SUBSEQUENTLY 300 PPM ESTABLISHED BY THE CPSIA. Printing ink becomes part of the subtrate of the book for purposes of evaluating its lead content.
It appears that the levels of lead in the test data you provided are well below the lead limits established in section 101 of the CPSIA; however, some of the tests were not for total lead content as the CPSIA requires but rather for soluable lead, ie, the test looked at the amount of lead that could be extracted from those products or materials. In order to provide blanket exemptions for paper, paperboard, linerboard, printing inks, laminates, adhesives and binding materials used in books, the Commission needs total lead test data to support the determination that those materials do not contain lead at levels that exceed the CPSIA lead content limits. While the Commission staff has been diligently searching for such data from publicly available sources, it does not at this time have sufficient data on the total lead content of those materials to issue an exemption. Moreover, the staff has raised concerns about issuing exemptions on a commodity or class of materials basis without some data that the test results are representative of such materials as a class based on technical specification or other defined, objective criteria."
This is written plainly, from the CPSC to Mr. Adler specifically about their stance on printed books. ALL PRINTED BOOKS FOR AGES 12 AND UNDER.
To date, nothing has been amended in the law to exempt books.
HSLDA has sent out a letter today replying to the new law, ( http://www.hslda.org/docs/news/20091130.asp ) however, I do not believe they have done adequate research because they too go in circles without saying anything specific. They do not seem to realize that a publisher is also a manufacturer and thereby is required to do the testing - the printing company is NOT required to do the testing (even if they did, they would pass on the cost to the publisher so the problem of excess cost is still the same). HSLDA does not consider publishers 'manufacturers' and this is HSLDAs basis for why this new law will not affect curriculum and other homeschool printed materials - they need to speak to the CPSC and to publishers (big or small!!!) and get more informed about publishing before they send out an annoucement that the new law is not going to hurt homeschool publishers.
If they would read the link above or speak directly to the CPSC, they would KNOW this law is going to force every book publisher who publishes books for ages 12 and under to test their books at government approved testing facilities… HSLDA seems to be several weeks behind and do not fully understand how the publishing business works. Otherwise, they would see the dangers.
If anyone on here personally knows someone at HSLDA, please ask them to contact PUBLISHERS and to read the link I provided above and the specific page and paragraphs I wrote about. They don't even seem to be aware of how this is affecting Random House and other HUGE publishers, let alone the smaller homeschool publishers.
I am very disappointed in HSLDA's reply to this situation - I realize this is not their area of expertise and I do highly respect the work they do for the homeschool community - however, as a self publisher I am upset they did not research more fully or speak to publishing companies (both large and small) before they wrote their response to CPSIA concerns. I expected a much more detailed and understandable reply with actual, factual information and that hasn't come thru yet.

I wrapped filming for all episodes of season two for Extreme Pursuits on Friday night, but I had to take one break over the noon hour and set up a blind for my son to hunt turkeys out of on Saturday morning. A quick scouting mission revealed lots of roosting sign and I found one strut zone. It was the perfect spot to stake the Hunter's Specialties Boiler Room Blind.
The next morning Cole and I were out the door at 4:30 a.m. and in the blind by 5. On the way in I did get a queasy feeling as I tried to pinpoint the roosted birds against the dark sky with my Nikon binocular. I couldn't find them and whispered to Cole the possibility they may have moved.
Surprise, surprise! A half hour before sunrise not one, but two gobblers lit up directly overhead! As shooting light rose I softly let them know my Hazel Creek decoy was open to blind dating.
Sure enough one of the mature birds landed in the field next to the blind and even though he was inside of 30 yards, the fence presented too much of an obstacle for Cole to thread an arrow through.
A second tom and a jake hit the ground nearby and the jake wasted no time in introducing himself to the decoy. Cole held off as the larger bird marched into range, but instead of stopping it went right past the blind. Suddenly both the tom and jake came back and the tom stopped at 15 yards. Cole released the arrow from his Mathews bow, but the clean "whoosh" of the arrow missing was all we heard.
The group retreated to 40 yards and all started strutting again for the right to date the single hen in the mix. As I picked up the pace of my calls I thought I heard another tom gobbling in the distance. Sure enough 10 minutes later another playboy arrived and he was in a hurry to meet the decoy. At 15 yards the big tom stopped with a questioning stare and then turned away. I told Cole to shoot since the game over sign was beginning to flash.
Cole hit the trigger of his release and the Rage broadhead hit home dropping the bird. Diving out the blind window Cole took after the bird, but its flopping madness plunked it right off a high bank and into a nearby creek.
Both the bird and Cole were a little soggy after the recovery, but it was Cole's first turkey with a bow so I doubt he would have minded swimming across a small lake to claim the big bird.

I'am in Ira send me a pm on how this works ,I have not been involved in one before. I'll tie my #10 black bugger I used at lone. Mark
Looks like there is room for 1 more. If so, I will commit to a chartreuse sparkle leach that has been fishing well this winter. If we're doing 2 patterns, I'll pick a second. Thanks Ira My first fly swap as well. Looking forward to new patterns.
Jeff That fly was money!!! I am coming up this weekend, just trying to figure out the weather and wind since its a 3 day weekend.
I'll add a red-cheeked buzzer - my second most successful winter fly. Thanks again, Ira, for running this swap. Looking forward to expanding my winter stillwater tactics with new flies.
Winter Lake Swap Closed I may have jumped into your spot Blue... unintentional. If this is closed you're welcome to take my position Blue. Jeff
Don't know how I missed you Blue. Stay in and folks can tie more or someone is bound to drop out. Ira..
I am game for tying an extra for blue. Blue sparked my interest in leeches so i will tie a chironomid of some sort and a leech of some sort. My two go-tos for winter....
Blue is sooooo in. With 14 tiers, you only need to tie 13 (unless you want me to send you your own fly back or you want to have me randomly send out extra flies to other tiers, I like that, I may just throw in a bonus fly or two for fun. Ira..
On other ties, the ones involved would tie the number of flies as people. The extra flies were then given to someone in need or whatever. We did one once where I auctioned off the box full of two fly ties and I sent the money (which by the way ended up $200.) to Orvis which doubled that amount for CFR. Or we have made up a box for some member on the forum. Just a thought. What is one more fly.
So from what i understand. I am tying two patterns. 13 each....for a grand total of 26 flies...Am i correct?
I like this idea. If someone ties extras, I'll find an appropriate way to disripute them back out to the universe (don't worry not on the end of my line).

My First Samsung Phone BEST PHONE EVER
Carrier: Verizon Wireless
Have had many Android phones since the original Droid. Just upgraded from the Droid DNA. This phone is AWESOME! Very thin... great beautiful screen... color is so vibrant, screen is very nice size... keyboard is awesome on the screen.
The phone is so thin, great style, and call quality is one of the best I have ever used. Doesn't feel too big at all actually. Build quality seems to be just a good!
Highly recommend this phone.. keep finding new features daily!

Amazing Phone
Carrier: Sprint
Take this review witha grain of salt since I've only had the Note 3 for 3 days.
Amazing large crystal clear and bright display.
Excellent battery life.
Very quick and responsive.
Android 4.3
New capabilities with the S Pen.
Honestly the only con is that I can't find Sprint 4G signal in Beaverton, OR or surrounding areas. This is a deal breaker so I am returning the phone to Sprint and picking the Note 3 up at Verizon.
Please note I didn't mention the camera. I haven't had an opportunity to experiment with it yet.

Good, but not as great as Note 2
Carrier: Verizon Wireless
First of all, update has come far for VZW! (however signal still doesn't compare with Note 2)
Build quality is amazing, great offerings for accessories, screen brightness and resolution is AMAZING! (Day or night time, I can use effectively) Support for S Note, great as well! Camera is meh.... HTC One Max camera in my experience is better. (Low light is where Samsung seemingly lacks)
Sound quality is ok, but many complain they can't hear me. (Again, Note 2 trumps Note 3 in this department)
Reception: After update, it has improved, however my old iPhone 4s and Note 2 had much better reception than the note 3. (Sometimes shows signal, however it doesn't access internet or receive calls regardless of indoors our outdoors)
LIGHT! Very light and easy on the hands. The shape and form factor all for its ease of use, an advantage over HTC One Max.
All in all, one of my primary phones. Usability and Weight makeup for the lack in signal and reception. (Somewhat)

Samsung Note 3 the best
Carrier: Verizon Wireless
I used my upgrade to get the new Samsung note 3, i had the Samsung note 2 that was totally awsome, after using the note 3 for two days now i can see the difference and it is unbelievable difference. To me Samsung is the best and the note 3 is for me. Beautiful screen, plenty of memory and the phone is fast, and i have had plenty of smart phones and mostly Samsung you can't go wrong with this phone, this is my opinion only. Samsung is #1, i give this phone a 5

Greatly Disappointed
Carrier: Verizon Wireless
I purchased this phone yesterday and based on the reviews I had seen thought it would be outstanding. I had a Galaxy Nexus and will be returning to it today. I am returning it less than 24 hours later due to issues I was having. Everything is awesome about the phone except the things that I need a phone for. My Nexus would have at least 3-4 bars of service inside my school and other locations on campus where the Note 3 was constantly saying searching for service. I could text anywhere inside or out on campus with the Nexus and can not with the Note 3. It will not connect to my school wifi which is critical to my needs. My wife has the Note 2 and she has the same connectivity issues and I should have known better.

Good phone overall, but
Carrier: Verizon Wireless
Samsung's touchwiz ui is just annoying...makes you feel like your using an android phone back in the days of eclair or gingerbread.
The screen size is awesome, but the reality of handling the device with that screen size is awkward at best and I have big hands.
The last nail in the coffin for me was the lack of built in wireless charging for a $699 retail phone and the additional $40 to get that...sorry, but that is just trying to squeeze every penny possible out of consumers without providing a complete product to begin with (wireless charging should be STANDARD on most phones these days and ESPECIALLY on a phone that costs this much.
Dont get me wrong, its a kick ass phone, monster specs, incredibly nice screen but Samsung ruined it with touchwiz, yet again cheap plastic materials and the obvious attempt to milk more money from consumers by not including what should be built in (wireless charging) and instead charges more for it.
That, and for a device like this battery life should be industry leading and it certainly was not.
I really wanted to love the phone, but in the end, my maxx is just a MUCH better phone for less.

Note 3 is worth the cost
Carrier: Sprint
Samsung Note 3
Model : SM-N900P
Carrier : Sprint
Large screen size.
The 2.3GHz quad core processor plus 3GB of ram make it hard to lock up or overheat.
Contains the smart screen options of the Galaxy S4 (smart stay,pause, rotate and my favorite... scroll).
Also comes with Autodesk Sketchpad. Camera looks great and has some fun features. Also includes infrared so you can use it for a remote.
(Vs. Note 2)
Removed page buddy and charges crazy fast.
Problem with predictive text and personal dictionary. Google maps is buggy.

Penn State senior quarterback Matt McGloin, from Scranton, won the third annual Burlsworth Trophy, presented to the nation's outstanding college football player who began his career as a walk-on as presented by the Springdale (Ark.) Rotary Club.
McGloin broke nine school passing records and tied another during his impressive senior campaign and was honored at a banquet in Springdale with the other finalists.
The award was first presented in 2010 in honor of Brandon Burlsworth, a former All-American and walk-on offensive lineman at Arkansas. Burlsworth died in an automobile accident 11 days after being selected by the Indianapolis Colts as the 63rd overall pick in 1999. The previous winners of the trophy are Austin Davis of Southern Miss in 2011 and Sean Bedford of Georgia Tech in 2010.
The other finalists were safety Jordan Kovacs of Michigan and tackle David Quessenberry of San Jose State.
