With Dr. Seuss' classic book The Lorax making its way to U.S. theaters March 2, 2012, now is a good time to address some of the positions the children's tale takes in regard to environmentalism and industrial production.
The Lorax follows the typical structure of any Dr. Seuss classic as it contains a simple plot structure, a fantasy world, and is laced with imaginative but continually rhyming words. At the time of its publication, The Lorax was seen as a social commentary on the damage ravaged on the environment by corporations. The plot involves a young boy who pays a creature known as the Once-ler to hear its retelling of why the Lorax left a once thriving forest it was supposed to protect.
When the Once-ler first arrived at the land of the Lorax, he was astounded at the beauty of the "Truffula Trees.â€
But those trees! Those trees! Those Truffula Trees! All my life I'd been searching for trees such as these. The touch of their tufts was much softer than silk. And they had the sweet smell of fresh butterfly milk.
The Once-ler proceeds to set up shop and begin chopping down Truffula Trees. With the "tufts,†he produces a kind of body suit called a "Thneed.â€Â Immediately, the Lorax appears and declares that it "speaks for the trees†and pleads for the Once-ler to reconsider harvesting Truffula Trees. But the Once-ler finds customers for his Thneeds and expands production while cutting down increasing amounts of trees. Eventually, the Once-ler chops down all the Truffula Trees and ceases production of Thneeds while leaving only pollution behind. It's easy to see how this fictive can ignite the passions of environmental movement who see capitalism as exploitive over nature.
Though environmentalists have made a habit of petitioning the government for economic intervention to halt environmental decay, the solution to preserving nature is much simpler. The conception of private property serves as a means to both establish ownership over a given area and incentivize sustainable practices.
But in the Lorax's world, it's not clear whether or not there exists the institution known as the state. If the state does exist and the Lorax, who displays human-like qualities and acts as a caretaker, has clearly defined rights over the Truffula forest, then it is a failure of the state to enforce private property. In a stateless society, the Lorax could file a grievance for legal arbitration between itself and the Once-ler within a system of competing, independent judges. Whatever the situation, the Lorax would have a case to make against the Once-ler's use of the forest if it properly acquired the use of the land beforehand. Under a libertarian system, or system built upon the non aggression principle, of laws, the only legitimate way one acquires property of an unowned piece of land is homesteading.
Writing in Economic Thought Before Adam Smith, Murray Rothbard writes on this process which finds its origins in the theorizing of John Locke and St. Thomas Aquinas:
…cultivation and use of previously unused land establishes a just property title in the land in one man rather than in others. St. Thomas' theory of acquisition was further clarified and developed by his close student and disciple John of Paris… Quidort declared that lay property 'â€is acquired by individual people through their own skill, labour and diligence, and individuals, as individuals, have right and power over it and valid lordship; each person may order his own and dispose, administer, hold or alienate it as he wishes, so long as he causes no injury to anyone else; since he is lord.â€
The Aquinas–John of Paris–Locke view is the "labor theory" (defining "labor" as the expenditure of human energy rather than working for a wage) of the origin of property…
The theory of homesteading rests on natural law which holds that man has the absolute right to his body. As Hans Herman-Hoppe puts it in reference to the all-important thought construct of an isolated Robinson Crusoe, "every person is the private (exclusive) owner of his own physical body. Indeed, who else, if not Crusoe, should be the owner of Crusoe's body?â€
The same logical deduction can be applied to homesteading as well for if unoccupied or unused land is to be ascertained and claimed by an individual, how else could it be done outside of mixing one's labor with it? The state is only made up of self-interested individuals; if those government officials sought to declare a portion of unused land forever more within its jurisdiction, then this constitutes an act of homesteading as well since adequate measures of securing the land would need to be taken. However, considering the state obtains it resources to operate through theft, homesteading can't ultimately be seen as legitimate when performed by public officials.
Because the Once-Ler set about chopping down Truffula Trees without any regard for previous ownership, there were no defined private property rights as to ensure the Lorax and his fellow animal companions maintained ownership over the forest. This lack of definitive ownership resulted in the Lorax forest essentially becoming public property. Like the overgrazing of land in the American West or the failed experiment of communism in early colonial Virginia, the inadequate enforcement or nonestablishment of private property rights resulted in a wasting of natural resources.
As Mises pronounces,
If history could teach us anything, it would be that private property is inextricably linked with civilization.
Though not a man per say, the Once-ler behaved purposefully by using natural resources to produce consumer goods. In a world of strictly defined property rights, it would have to reach an agreement with the Lorax to make use of the Truffula Trees. Otherwise, the Once-ler would be violently aggressing over the property of the Lorax. The Lorax would then be justified in defending its property.
A common criticism launched against libertarian legal philosophy is that it assumes men act as angels. This is blatantly false as libertarians would be the first to agree that the violent tendencies of man would exist in a free society. The process of rectification and when force is really justified is where libertarians disagree with their statist opponents. The truth is that while private property serves as the best means for man to produce and maintain wealth, its existence alone does not guarantee the owner any safety against the scheming of unscrupulous individuals. If the Lorax had legitimately obtained the rights to the Truffula forest, it would have to act in order to repel the Once-ler's attempt at using the property instead of merely trying to convince it through words alone.
While Dr. Seuss' The Lorax serves as intellectual fodder for the environmental movement, it's overly simplistic plotline is demonstrative of the author's confused thinking on the issue. Businessmen only destroy the environment if they have little desire to maintain the value of their land or seek to violate the property rights of others and take advantage of undistinguished public property. The Lorax's failure to establish its ownership over the Truffula forest was its fundamental error. The victims were the Humming-Fish, Brown Bar-ba-loots, and Swomee-Swans which saw their habit destroyed.
On a more interesting and economic note, the Once-ler charges $3.98 for one Thneed which he describes as "It's a shirt. It's a sock. It's a glove. It's a hat. But it has other use. Yes far beyond that. You can use it for carpets. For pillows! For sheets!â€Â According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' CPI inflation calculator, what cost $3.98 in 1971 (the year of publication for The Lorax) costs $22.27 today. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that Dr. Seuss foresaw the advent of the television infomercial which typically charge $19.99 for a good that promises to solve various ailments!

I finished watching the Jacksonville game last night. Here are my thoughts on the game:
-Buffalo isn't really playing a ton of Bullough-Fairbanks 3-4. I saw only three snaps where the starters lined up in their traditional spots (NT over the center, two 5-technique ends, etc). The defense that Buffalo is playing is of the "over" variation, primarily, and the 46. The over defense is similar to what Wade Phillips ran in Dallas, where DeMarcus Ware was listed as an OLB but was really the right end. The "right end" was really a DT, the NT was another DT, and the left end was a left end. Lots of penetration in that Dallas defense, at its best.
-The way Buffalo is running their over is with Carrington and Kelsay playing the OLB that's really and end. I haven't seen practice, but I didn't notice Carrington dropping into coverage any. The other OLB is alternating, mostly playing at the line of scrimmage, but also playing off the ball in somewhat of a tradition 4-3 OLB role.
-Buffalo is playing a ton of 46, with five players at the line of scrimmage. In this defense, Dareus and Williams are playing DT's, Johnson and Carrington are ends, and Batten was the OLB playing like a 3-4 OLB. This was Buffalo's best defense on the night, though they didn't blitz. Having five players at the line, with the size they bring, was tough for Jacksonville to block.
-Buffalo's defense is huge. Steve Tasker noted it, and it's noteworthy. Just two years ago, Buffalo fielded a small fast defense. Now, almost every front seven player is big for the position. The run defense and pass rush may not be great, but I don't think the defense will get pushed around in past years.
-Buffalo's receivers are, not to beat my drum, a lot like San Diego's. Easley, Johnson, and Nelson are a big trio. They are using their size advantage to body shield defenders away from the ball. Easley did it on his touchdown catch. This is, by the way, one of the two major weaknesses in the Patriot defense. New England struggles against big WR's and fast TE's.
-The offensive line still isn't truly blowing anyone off the ball, though they looked pretty good. A can't say that Levitre was better than Bell (that's Ron's job), or vise versa, but Fitzpatrick looked pretty clean in the pocket.
That's it for my brain dump...

text: Ballbreaker will never be considered AC/DC's best album. That's because it's not. Does that mean its no good? No way! It's a must have for any die-hard AC/DC maniac (such as myself), but it's not exactly the CD you want to loan your wayward, uninitiated friend who's curious about the band (that would be either High Voltag or Back in Black), because it's not the consistently solid effort they are usually known for. Tracks like "Hard as a Rock", "Hail Caesar", and "Love Bomb" are vintage AC/DC, but "Caught with your pants down" (the only song by AC/DC that I truly dislike) is without question the weakest song they've ever recorded. Some tracks I love, some I like, one I'm borderline on, and one I dislike. "Burnin Alive" seems (to me at least) to be a commentary on Bill Clinton's stupidity (already emerging back in 95), to my knowledge, the first time the Young boys have ever commented on current issues. It's still a great album, and still great music, but the resence of the only truly "bad" AC/DC song on it makes it one for only seasoned fans.

FLOYD COUNTY, IN (WAVE) - Four people were killed and another hurt in a violent crash between a taxi and a Cadillac early Monday morning in Floyd County.
The accident happened just after midnight on SR111 near Seven Mile Lane.
Police said driver of the southbound taxi lost control, overcorrected, crossed the center line and slammed head-on into the Cadillac. Investigators initially said the driver of the Cadillac was at fault but that was not the case.
The cab caught fire. Witnesses said the taxi driver got out of the vehicle and walked a short distance before collapsing.
"Right after impact, he was able to free himself, got out of his vehicle and went a short distance, according to some witnesses," Floyd County Sheriff Darrell Mills said "He is conscious, but he's very serious."
The cab's three passengers were not able to get out of the car. Police believe they died in the fire.
The driver of the Cadillac died while being flown to University of Louisville Hospital.
The cab driver is at UofL Hospital in serious condition.

Nick Glass: 2014's Tray Matthews
The Lady Sportswriter has an interview with 2014 UGA Safety commit Nick Glass. The more I read about Glass, the more he sounds like Tray Matthews to me: an early DB commit who will be pursued by other schools till the end, but one whose commitment to UGA is rock solid. He's even sticking with the Dawgs after an offer from Ole Mi$$, who is yet to up their ante. Stay tuned.

Lib Dems attack Welsh Government 'delayed' manufacturing strategy
Welsh Liberal Democrats have criticised Carwyn Jones' Welsh Government for failing to keep promises to come up with a strategy for manufacturing. The party's business spokesperson, Eluned Parrott claims the First Minister made the pledge as far back as his campaign to become Welsh Labour leader.
But she says that in March last year the First Minister stated it would be published in the autumn. Ms Parrott said,
Last week in the chamber, I explicitly asked the First Minister when we could expect to finally see the government's manufacturing strategy, a question he decided not to answer. The manufacturing sector needs leadership and clear direction from this Welsh Government. Either there is a Strategy in the works or there isn't and we've now reached the absurd situation where not even the First Minister seems to know.

Abstract—An empirical study was carried out at Ericsson Telecom AB to investigate the relationship between several design metrics and the number of function test failure reports associated with software modules. A tool, ERIMET, was developed to analyze the design documents automatically. Preliminary results from the study of 130 modules showed that: 1) based on fault and design data one can satisfactorily build, before coding has started, a prediction model for identifying the most fault-prone modules. The data analyzed show that 20 percent of the most fault-prone modules account for 60 percent of all faults. The prediction model built in this paper would have identified 20 percent of the modules accounting for 47 percent of all faults; 2) at least four design measures can alternatively be used as predictors with equivalent performance; 3) size (with respect to the number of lines of code) used in a previous prediction model was not significantly better than these four measures; and 4) the Alberg diagram introduced in this paper offers a way of assessing a predictor based on historical data, which is a valuable complement to linear regression when prediction data is ordinal. Applying the method described in this paper makes it possible to use measures at the design phase to predict the most fault-prone modules.

Hi ladies,
First and foremost, I am sorry that we are all here, but so glad to have found this community. I've been posting on Miscarriage/Loss, but feel like I would like to move my way over here at some point as well. I have lurked, read (and re-read) the blog, and feel like I can follow the etiquette of this board, and provide encouragement, support and kindness to others during this time.
A little bit about me: I am 27, DH is 28, we have been TTC (not actively, but not preventing) since March 2012. I experienced 2 ectopics, one in November that resolved itself, the second one ending last week with surgery, and me with one less fallopian tube. While I am very sad/angry at times, I am hopeful for the future. I am a nurse, DH is in business. We have two fur-babies, and have wonderful families who have been a tremendous support.
Like I said, I am sorry that we are here, but happy to have found you all. I look forward to getting to know you all.
I am so sorry for your losses. Welcome to the board, I'm glad that you have found us.
Thank you for taking the time to read the blog. It will pay off.
MamaCBear:Welcome!! I am so sorry for your losses! I hope your stay is short and sweet. Are you benched for a while post surgery?
This is a great question! I don't see my OB for my surgery f/u until next Thursday, so I'm hoping she'll give us some answers then. From what I understood (from DH, who I'm pretty sure was so relieved that surgery went fine and hardly heard anything else), my left tube looked fine. I'm hoping for the go-ahead as soon as AF returns. As heavy as my heart is from the past couple months, I want a family. There's definitely a fear with trying again (even thinking about TTC), but my desire for babies outweighs that fear, even now.
I'm so sorry about your losses. Welcome to the board. I hope you are able to find as much support here as I have.
I'm very sorry for your loss. I understand being mad, yet hopeful and determined to have a family. The range of emotions is unlike anything I have experienced, but is motivating me to move forward. Any complications after the loss just seems cruel and I wish you all the best.
Zachary Donald born 9/22/2012 at 20 weeks. You will forever be in our heart.
A miracle is what seems impossible but happens anyways

Billy Drummond, 'Harlem in the Himalayas' and More Set for The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, Jan 2014
The National Jazz Museum in Harlem has announced its January 2014 schedule. Details below!
**The museum will be closed December 24-27 and January 1 for the holidays**
TODAY, January 7 Jazz For Curious Listeners Broadway Boogie Woogie: Rhythm in the Visual Arts with Bob O'Meally 7:00-8:30 PM Location: The National Jazz Museum in Harlem Join here
Ask a painter to "explain" a painting to you, and within minutes, hands will be flying, as they describe the angles and the rhythms of the images. This evening, we will investigate the influence that jazz had on such masters as Stuart Davis, Piet Mondrian and Romare Bearden. Our guide will be Professor Robert G. O'Meally, Columbia University's Zora Neale Hurston Professor of English and Comparative Literature, and founder and director of the Center for Jazz Studies. His new project is a full study of Bearden's uses of literary subjects, and this evening Professor O'Meally will share his passion for jazz and fine art in an original, provocative and eminently entertaining way.
Thursday, January 9 Harlem Speaks Billy Drummond, Drummer 6:30-8:30 PM Location: The National Jazz Museum in Harlem Join here
Critically acclaimed drummer Billy Drummond joins NJMH this month for our landmark oral history series, Harlem Speaks. Drummond first came to international prominence with the bands of Horace Silver, J.J. Johnson and Sonny Rollins, with whom he spent three formative years. Now one of the busiest players of his generation, Drummond can be heard on nearly 300 albums, including three critically acclaimed recordings as a band leader, one of which - cult hit Dubai (Criss Cross) - was named Number 1 Best Jazz CD that year by the New York Times. He currently leads his own band Freedom of Ideas in New York. A serious student of the drums as well as an exemplary musician, we look forward to this informative and enjoyable evening.
Tuesday, January 14 Jazz For Curious Listeners A Cutting Session: Rhythm in Film With Emily Hubley 7:00-8:30 PM Location: Maysles Cinema (343 Lenox Avenue) Join here
At the root of cinema is the art of editing; the assemblage of footage in time, which by definition creates its own rhythm. As part of our regular collaboration with the Maysles Institute and Cinema, we are proud to present filmmaker Emily Hubley for an inside look on the intersections of rhythm, jazz and cinema. Ms. Hubley worked closely with her parents, pioneer animators Faith and John Hubley, and their classic works utilized music created specifically for the films by Quincy Jones, Benny Carter and Dizzy Gillespie. Ms. Hubley's feature film, The Toe Tactic, had its theatrical premiere at the Museum of Modern Art in January 2009 and was released on DVD by Kino International in the fall. Hubley's films are in the Permanent Collection of the Museum of Modern Art, Department of Film.

Hi, I'm grover and I've visited before way back when.
I'd be shocked if the A's parted ways with Blanton, seeing as his stock is so low right now. I imagine that's part of the appeal for the Phillies, they know he can pitch better then he's shown and they're hoping they can get a bargain. A sound plan but it tends to run contrary to Beane's attempts to gouge his trade partners mercilessly.
What about 2 time All-Star Justin Duchscherer (or Duke as the lovable muppets at AN call him) as the final piece to Philly's rotation? Duke has the lowest SP ERA in all of baseball and his component numbers are nice to look at as well. Admittedly he probably pitched a little over his head in the 1st half but when you look at his career numbers you can see that he knows how to pitch.
He's arby eligible next season, so the Phils could control him for a season and a half if they chose to do so. I realize the Philly fans (and management for that matter) would prefer if Myers could come back and pitch like he has in the past but assuming he doesn't, would Duke be of interest?
If the readers of this site advocate a trade for Duke, perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing your ideas regarding adequate payment. I'm curious to know what the deal is with Jason Donald. Does he have the range for SS? 'Cause the A's needs someone who can replace Bobby Crosby and the sooner the better!
FYI, another guy I like is Dominic Brown.
Just so ya know.

Earlier this year, the folks over at Fox Deportes decided to air a pair of bouts from Mexico in the bantamweight division. Francisco Arce, the less talented but still fun to watch brother of Arce, was matched with the generally unknown Hugo Ruiz for the vacant WBA interim bantamweight piece of crap belt. Over the course of 16 rounds, some of the best boxing action of the year was seen.
The first fight was aired on May 14th, and if you recorded it like I did, you found out that the entire first half of the telecast didn't make TV because a Yankees game ran long. But the main event of the night, their first fight, was shown in its entirety. In the early going, it appeared that Ruiz was going to be able to use his superior size to keep Arce off him with his jab. Once we're in round 3, that flys out the window with a single Arce punch that floors Hugo Ruiz and immediately brings the fight to being even. From that point forward, a war develops between the two men, with legal punches being thrown as well as low blows and some mean clinch work. Francisco Arce clearly intended to make this a brawl, and succeeded wildly in his intention. Francisco is still not as good as Jorge, nor has his chin, making him more susceptible to getting knocked down and generally getting hit, and Hugo Ruiz and his mammoth KO ratio (over 80%) made sure to take a toll of his own on Arce, knocking him down twice over the course of the fight. Arce didn't do himself any favors throwing below the belt and getting a point taken in round 10, but he did manage to drop Ruiz once more in the 8th round. Absolute back and forth contest, but ultimately Ruiz did enough to win in the minds of all the judges. I too had him winning the fight with a score of 113-110.
By the time the second fight came around on October 15th of this year, both men had enough time to make adjustments to their game plans and improve what it was they wanted to do in the ring. Arce came in the same fighter, while Ruiz came in with a much improved game plan to stay mobile and not get in that same sort of dirty, brutal war. Arce proved very easy to hit by Ruiz both with the jab and power punch, as he lept in with his shots. With Ruiz not letting him inside so easily and keeping his hands up to prevent a repeat of the 3rd round in the first fight, Arce started to take shots. In round 3, Arce was the man to go down, and he was badly hurt. When the bell rang for the end of the round, Ruiz wrongly took it to mean the fight too was over and began celebrating before being pulled off the turnbuckle by the referee. It mattered little - a damaged Francisco Arce managed little but to waive in Hugo Ruiz and get hit repeatedly, very cleanly. Arce's corner jumped in to save their man and met a ton of resistance in doing so.
Hugo Ruiz now manages to get his name in the busy bantamweight discussion and prove that he's a 12 round fighter. He still has far to go to really justify being a serious contender in the bantamweight ranks given how stacked the competition is there.

Edmonds-Woodway student Gergana Ivanova is an eternal optimist. Although we never actually spoke in person, as she is currently visiting family in Sofia, Bulgaria, her infectious cheerful nature came through the emails we exchanged, punctuated with more than a few exclamation points. While there is potential for her go-getting attitude and charm to be mistaken for the naïveté of youth, Ivanova has a reason to be happy.
The young woman, who is currently pursuing a career in modeling and acting, recently won a silver medal in the Female Modeling Swimwear category at the World Championship of Performing Arts competition, which was held over the week of July 17-22 in Los Angeles, California. The event features teams from around the globe, with members competing in various performing arts categories such as modeling, drama, singing and other arts such as juggling or magic. But contrary to what it may seem, the competition wasn't your average beauty pageant.
"You first audition for the team and if you make it, you go through training with one of the certified trainers for the WCOPA in your area," Ivanova explained. "Then once you get to the WCOPA, you go through one round of auditioning and if you make it you get to the semi-finals. Then you audition again and if you make it through that round as well, you get into the finals, which is what is broadcasted live on the internet every year."
For the acting category alone, Ivanova had to memorize five different 60-minute monologues, each of which fell into the sub-categories of contemporary, dramatic, open, classical and comedy. According to Ivanova, the experience was priceless, and despite the competitive aspect, she made connections that will last her a lifetime.
"That whole week just went by very fast for me! I still couldn't believe it that I made it on the team, let alone make it to the finals. The competition was very fierce because there were so many great performers there! The friendships that I made were unforgettable! Even though we were all competing against each other, it didn't feel like that at all! We were all like one big family!"
Ivanova is not new to the showbiz industry. She has been modeling and acting since she was young, and her first paid gig was a commercial for an airline company, Egypt Air. Even with the lucky experiences she's had, Ivanova is a realist.
"I've always wanted to be in the entertainment industry. I know that it's just where I'm supposed to be. I can feel it in my heart," the young woman wrote in an email. "I know that the entertainment business is not for everybody and that's why not everybody makes it, but the people that are supposed to be in it are the ones that make it because you're never going to get a role in a movie or a spot on the runway on your first audition, nobody does! But when you get up every time you fall down and when you keep on trying that's how you succeed, just like with every other thing in life."
Currently, Ivanova is taking a much-deserved vacation to visit her family in Bulgaria, where she lived until she was seven, but will return in September to start her (very busy) senior year at Edmonds Woodway. Aside from taking International Baccalaureate classes, she has been working since she was 14, and is currently employed at PCC Natural Markets. When she isn't working, doing homework or pursuing her career, Ivanova volunteers at Sunrise Living Center in Edmonds, a senior living community.
"This past school year was definitely the hardest year for me because I took on very challenging classes and also took some classes at my local community college, which resulted in me staying up late every night and not having much time to do things that aren't related to school, but it'll all be worth it in the end," Ivanova said.
If the modeling doesn't work out, Ivanova has a backup plan: Medical school.
"The reason I try so hard in school is because I want to be a cardiologist when I grow up," Ivanova said. "Cancer runs in my mom's side of the family, so I have a really strong motivation to help and work with people who have cancer…I think you should always have a back up because you never know what's going to happen."
That's quite the backup plan.
Ivanova hasn't decided if she will continue on the U.S. Performing Arts team next year, but plans to seek out some local agencies when she gets back into the states. After high school, Ivanova will move down to Los Angeles for college, where she hopes her proximity to big agencies will make it easier for her to get work. And while she has a schedule that would make most adults dizzy, Ivanova loves what she does and plans to continue pursuing her dreams with as much passion as it takes.
"You don't have to be like everyone else because nobody's the same," Ivanova said. "Just be yourself. Most people think that to get in the business, you have to be and act like the people that are already in it now but that's not true. If you actually want to be successful in the business, you have to be yourself because that's what they're looking for different people and personalities."

Someone needs to straighten me out. My mother is no longer here so the swift smack to the back of the head isnĺt going to come and if some else did it, well, I wouldnĺt react the same as when my mother did it.
The problem Iĺm having is, Iĺm confused as to why some want to insist on using a fly rod like a spinning rod. To me, a fly rod is a tool for presenting flies in various patterns and stages to fish so finicky that the slightest difference in size or color can make it difficult to get any interest and at other times, something so unconventional will entice the biggest fish in the pool.
Fishing for salmon and steelhead, rigs have been established that call for ôrunning lineö Ś which has little in common with a fly line Ś and leaders and tippets connected with beads and swivels. It isnĺt even cast, itĺs thrown out and let drift with the current as it sinks and covers a hole.
Donĺt get me wrong, if thatĺs what gives you enjoyment, do it. Itĺs all good. But itĺs easier to do the same thing with a spinning outfit, in fact, itĺs easier because you have better line control at various distance.
In my world of fly fishing, catching salmon and steelhead with a fly rod means using a floating or sinking tip line and working a pattern Ś usually an egg at the front followed by some kind of stonefly nymph.
I know and accept that there are different strokes for different folks and that includes why they fish; some release everything while others fish for the larder. But why spend a ton of money on rods and equipment when the same result can be had with something more practical when fishing for the table?
Some years ago, Emil Dean developed a technique for fishing for big fish with what he called a ônoodle rod.ö The rods were light and long. They ranged upwards of 10 feet or more. They were whippy and designed to allow him to use light line that was hard to see in the water and wouldnĺt spook a fish, but the length of the rod and flex, would hold the fish on low test line. It was very popular and Emil started a trend.
Something changed. Fly rods are the fad for catching salmon and steelhead and the only thing light is the weight of the rod in ounces. When you put it all together, you have an investment rivaled by the price of goldůall to catch big fish that more times than not, take an offering because theyĺre mad at it for invading their redd.
When hiring a guide to take you on a float over big fish water, youĺll most likely use a fly rod, especially if he supplies it. And heĺll take you to where he knows there are fish and youĺll tie on what he knows has been productive, and youĺll most likely catch fish. Then youĺll let it go because guides like catch and release because it keeps fish in the water for the next client to catch. After all, itĺs the experience you pay for.
If the idea is to take fish home why not use what will give you a better chance of hooking and landing one? No, Iĺm not talking about dragging a river with a pound of lead on a treble hook. Thatĺs illegal and unnecessary. It also clutters the bottom of good water with hooks tied to big test line that was broken off or cut off when the Game Warden shows up. Ever wonder why snaggers keep a cigarette in their mouths? A touch of the cigarette to the mono and youĺre not illegal ů for the moment.
The evolution to spey rods is also a move closer to what you can do with a spinning rod. The difference is in the cost of everything.
I like to fly fish and to me that means using equipment that will present a fly or streamer in the way I intended it to be when I tied it; equipment should fit the purpose of its intended use.
Iĺm probably out-thinking myself again. After all, people ought to fish in whatever way that makes them happy and the use of equipment is just a means to that end. I guess thatĺs why I fish for walleye with an old Shakespeare 1810 closed face spinning reel on an old fly rod.
Itĺs all good.

MasterCard to open new lab
MasterCard International has inked a lease for 60,000 square feet at 114 Fifth Ave. for a new tech lab. The 10-year lease brings the 330,000-square-foot property to 60% occupancy since L&L Holding Co., along with private equity firm Lubert-Adler, bought the property's leasehold last year, according to the New York Post. Crain's first reported the deal last month.
The Post said the deal is further evidence that companies are ditching their longtime homes for neighborhoods other than midtown east. Only one company Société Générale recently moved to midtown east. It left 1221 Sixth Ave. for 245 Park Ave.

200 cats, dogs and other animals in Dubuque have a brand new home twice the size of their old one.
The Dubuque Regional Humane Society is moving into its new space this week. The former building was some 20 years old and too small for the organization's growing needs.
In addition to being an adoption site, new president and CEO Maria Benham said she hopes the new location will also act as a community center for pets and their owners.
"We want to do boarding for animals and we also have a pet park that we're putting in, in the backyard," Benham said, "so people will be able to use our facility as a place to play with their animals."
She also said the new space has classroom area for obedience classes for dogs and their owners.
The community is invited to attend a "ribbon-chewing" event Thursday at 4:30 p.m. and explore the Dubuque Regional Humane Society's new and improved facilities at 4242 Chavenelle Road.
More information on the DRHS' hours of operation and pet adoption policies is on its website HERE.

Sometimes She Lets Me: Best Butch/Femme Eroticaby Tristan Taormino
Staff Pick
In Sometimes She Lets Me, Tristan Taormino presents 23 of her favorite stories from her many years as editor of the Best Lesbian Erotica series. In expressing their diverse identities and fantasies, the writers collected here exude confidence, attitude, and passion.
Synopses & Reviews
Does the swagger of a sure-footed butch make you swoon? Do your knees go weak when you see a femme straighten her stockings? A duet between two sorts of women, butch/femme is a potent sexual dynamic. Tristan Taormino chose her favorite butch/femme stories from the Best Lesbian Erotica series, which has sold over 200,000 copies in the 16 years she was editor. And if you think you know what goes in in the bedroom between femmes and butches, these 22 shorts will delight you with erotic surprises. In Joy Parks's delicious "Sweet Thing," the new femme librarian in town shows a butch baker a new trick in bed. The stud in "Tag!," by D. Alexandria, finds her baby girl after a chase in the woods by scent alone. And the girl in a pleated skirt gets exactly what she wants from her Daddy in Peggy Munson's "The Rock Wall." Sometimes She Lets Me shows that it's all about attitude — predicting who will wind up on top isn't easy in stories by S. Bear Bergman, Rosalind Christine Lloyd, Samiya A. Bashir, and many more.

Authorities re-open FSU's Jameis Winston case
FLORIDA -- Authorities in Tallahassee say they are re-opening an investigation into FSU star quarterback Jameis Winston.
He was allegedly involved in a sexual battery in December 2012.
Police made contact with the attorney representing Winston today, but , the football players attorney may not let his client talk to police.
The heavily redacted police report alleging sexual battery is dated December 7th, last year. The State Attorney's Office has confirmed it involves FSU Quarterback Jameis Winston. Winston's Attorney says his client is absolutely innocent.
Tim Jansen Winston Attorney
"We have done our investigation. We have turned over what we believe is exculpatory information to the state attorney with witnesses who were present."
The State Attorney's office received the case file on Tuesday, that's at least a day after police received a public records request for the report. Tallahassee Police are refusing to answer any questions including why it took so long to forward such a high profile case to Prosecutors. States Attorney Willie Meggs is traveling, we reached him by phone.
Willie Meggs State's Attorney (2nd Judicial Circuit)
"I got my first knowledge of it yesterday at 10:02, little bit shocked to learn it's been an ongoing investigation since December 7th."
"While Winston's attorney says they are cooperating, he wouldn't say if he would allow his client to speak with investigators."
Tim Jansen
"They talked to me today, they confirmed to me that the state attorney has asked them to do some follow up investigation and we will try to cooperate with them as much as possible. We will cooperate with them as much as possible.."
Prosecutors working the case wouldn't put a time table on resolving it.
The highly redacted the police report says the crime occurred in zone surrounding the university.

Plans are underway for a sports complex in Neosho, Missouri. The park would be located on the part of the city's golf course that is closed down.
City officials say they have been working on the plans for about 18 months and say it could be used from a number of activities and tournaments.
The mayor says the new park is needed because the current park is not adequate size for the size of the city.
They have not discussed funding yet and are waiting on an economic impact survey.
Neosho Mayor Richard Davidson says comments from residents have been mostly in favor of the new complex.
"The comments I've seen on the Facebook page have been very very positive and it gives something for parents and kids alike to look forward to seeing what could possibly come to Neosho," says Mayor Davidson.

Should Oklahoma State freshman Le'Bryan Nash make the jump to the NBA after just one season in Stillwater.
I think many people would say no.
He's a talented player, but he probably has more maturing to do and a couple more years in college would do him well.
But a recent mock 2012 NBA Draft has Nash going in the first round to the Chicago Bulls as the 29th overall pick.
Nash is shooting 40-percent from the field and is second on the team in points with a little over 13 per game.
Nash and the Oklahoma State Cowboys next face Oklahoma on Wednesday. Tip-off is set for 7:0pm in Norman. You can watch the Bedlam match up on Tulsa's Channel 8.

I don't know what the heck happened this morning, but suddenly my RSS feeds exploded. Every blog I read suddenly showed every post as new. Weird.
So, while watching Whose Line (the Brit edition), First 48 and Hex (which isn't as good now as when it started, but I can't seem to stop watching) last night I worked on my characters' backgrounds. Where they live. Where they work. Their families. Fun stuff!
Today's horoscopes:
"Come out of your shell and be proud of your sensitive side. Although you may feel vulnerable when it comes to love and romance, this does not mean that you have to hide this fact. (Maybe not, but do I want to blab it here for all the world to see? :rofl:) You may think that everyone else has it together in this department of life, but don't be fooled by their facade. They are just as insecure as you are! (Good! Misery loves company. *g*) Go ahead and let this side of your personality shine. Admitting your vulnerability is actually wonderfully strengthening and attractive. (Somehow I'm having trouble believing this…)"
"Trust any hunches you have about a person who is pursuing you. (Why, are they stalking me?) While partnership energy is running high for your sign, you are particularly selective and seek only someone who shares your values. (Oh! THAT kind of pursuit. Never mind. ;))"
"Banish any skepticism, especially in light of this new opportunity that has just landed in your lap. (My goodness, it seems like I'm going to have a busy day today.) You'll need all your faculties in order to spot even more avenues for improvement, and doubting yourself won't help. (I need all my faculties? Damn. I'm screwed before I even get started, then. LOL! Only four hours of sleep is NOT conducive to having all one's faculties.)"
