The larger wt rods really are... I've broke them numerous times, always right in the middle of landing a large fish. I have not had as much an issue with the lighter weight rods.

That's a totally differnt stuation than what you describe in your previous post and one that really puts your fish fighting technique in question. One or two broken rods, yeah maybe you can covince us that it is the rod, but "numerous" rods while landing fish?

Mainly on account of never owning the latest and greatest graphite technologies, I don't have any personal experience.
That said, I've heard the same thing. And it makes sense from a materials standpoint, but is very likely highly brand/model dependent.
First, a general rule of all materials, including graphite and resins, is the stronger you make something, the less ductility/toughness it can have (i.e. it's more brittle). The definition of "high modulus" is stronger. For instance, diamond is the hardest/strongest material on earth. But it's also not tough at all. Hit it with a hammer, and the hammer wins, resulting in diamond dust!
To make matters worse, higher modulus graphite allows a rod maker to make a rod lighter without sacrificing the speed of the action. They do this by thinning the walls, and perhaps stiffening the resin. The higher stiffness allows you to have the stiffer rod with less material. But in addition to being more brittle, the thinner walls further lower the damage tolerance, i.e. a little nick has a greater effect.
That said, a maker could take it the other way too. Even if the graphite is more brittle, you could soften the resin, allowing the graphite to supply more of the stiffness. Then you could add MORE sheets of thinner graphite, even crosshatching the directions. The result would be a rod that probably would have similar action and weight as previous rods, but is more damage tolerant and nearly industructible. i.e. an improved Ugly Stick.
There are always trade-offs. I always say, picture a see-saw. You can gain one at the expense of the other, and pick your balance point. Newer, modern materials don't change the fundamental trade off. They raise the fulcrum a little.

OP: "when I look at the really expensive ones in the shop I can't seem to feel any difference."
fwiw, the guesses I make in a shop or in the yard about how a rod will fish on a stream haven't been that good.
No fish to spook with a heavier line in the yard. And the 15-35 ft range where I catch small stream trout looks like nothing in a yard. Mostly sidearm casting out there, etc.

Yes, that's probably it....I don't know how to fight fish. I'd appreciate a lesson from you any time you are willing
It's the only rod I have ever broken. I have landed thousands of steelhead, LR browns, and salmon on the fly. Never had an issue except with the Helios on steelhead and salmon. The conditions of steelhead and salmon fishing are just to rough for the Helios unless you have the thing in a boat and never walk through the woods or lay it on the bank (unsheathed). It's just a rod that has to be babied. If you have it on a boat and protect it from nicks and never hit the rod with a heavy fly on a poor cast...it will work fine.

I've seen two people fishing big name, expensive modern graphite rods cast and hook some obstruction, then jerk on the rod to try to loosen the fly, and snap the rod a little bit below the tip.
I don't think that is likely to happen with the more "old school" fly rods. Many of the newer expensive rods are higher modulus, which gives you more line speed. But it makes them more brittle. That's the tradeoff.
And they are thinner walled than rods in the past, making them lighter, which makes them enjoyable to cast. But thinner walled rods are more likely to fail. It's a weight vs durability tradeoff.
I talked to a someone who guides in Alaska and he said the rod breakage rate is very high up there with people using the high modulus thin walled type of fly rod. Not surprising at all. For that type of fishing, you'd be better of with a rod that is maybe not quite as much of a "rocket" but that can take some abuse.

You hit the nail right on the head. Sacrifice an enth of an ounce by making rods with thinner walls, thereby selling more rods so a manufacturer can claim their rod as the lightest, newest, greatest, fastest.
No thank you, I'll take my "antiquated" rods any day. Take a licking and keep on ticking. Somehow I can cast them and catch plenty of fish.

different issues here: cost, weight, durability, etc.
OP asked if there really is a difference in graphite rods? Imho, yes. Then mentioned "really expensive ones"... I think the best of the middle ground is better for most fishing trips.
there is a lot of room between basic and megabuck. imho, some new rods that cast very well are mid-priced and a bit heavy, not expensive and superlight. echo carbon.
my 7'3" echo carbon two weight weighs three ounces, versus the two-ounce weight of my mystic 7'3" two weight. the echo was recently out there as a $125 closeout, mystic would be twice as much. echo is an 8, mystic is a 10 (a 2pc wonder for my trips for spooky wild browns on dries).
I once broke an echo carbon tip by hitting a branch with the last few inches of the rod in mid cast. they charged me $35.
I fish a lot and would rather use a rod that is more enjoyable to cast, plus with the downright scary accuracy of an echo carbon I should catch more fish.
PA trout arent going to break rods very often. I am something of an expert at putting flies in trees, and have never broken a rod tip pulling one out with any fly rod... (knot leader or fly has to be weak link, not rod tip... worst case, point the rod at the fly before you pull so the rod isnt stressed)
if you look up the fly fish ohio great two weight shootout, one reviewer summarized the echo 2:
"The rod handled the DT2 and the WF3 equally well. Fly size didn't seem to matter (within reason) and the outfit was accurate to a fault. In my notes I wrote "I feel everything about the cast and can do tricks - amazing reach and puddle casts, awesome change-of-direction casts and very, very good roll casts to whatever distance I need." I went on to say "If you aren't delivering the fly with delicacy and precision, it's you and not the rod." This stick has great fish feel, but I felt it to be just a touch soft in that last bit of butt strength. I noted "good choice for small trout or bigger fish on calm waters." Finally, my last sentence in my casting notes simply said "I love this fly rod."
I agree, that is very much my experience, and the echo was $170 msrp before the $125 closeouts... I also have a 7'6" echo 3w, great caster as well.

Ironically, I bought a used Sage VPS about 5 years ago thinking that it was an older and therefore more durable rod. Wrong! I snapped the tip section for the third time last year. I haven't even sent it back yet for repairs. If anybody wants to buy a VPS490 with a broken tip, let me know.
Lesson learned: Older rods do not necessarily equate to more durable rods... no matter how end or low end the name.

OP said: Quote:
Is there truly a noticable difference in graphite rods? I have a 5 yr. old IM6 5 wt. rod and was thinking maybe I should get a new one but when I look at the really expensive ones in the shop I can't seem to feel any difference.
I don't know what it is about the extra 6 inches, but a great feeling 9 footer is a rare pleasure, and being rare, you have to pay up for it. Yet a great feeling 8.5 footer is common. Doesn't mean there aren't any dogs--you still have to swing them--but if your mind automatically equates big water with a 9 ft, you might try the 8.5 and see if the easier swing doesn't more than compensate for the 6 inches of reach.
So out of curiosity, is your IM6 an 8.5 footer or shorter? If so, you are happy with it because it's a nice rod at a length that is, apparently, not that hard to make at an affordable price and still feel great.

Lohan won't be charged for rehab scuffle
LOS ANGELES -- Lindsay Lohan has one less legal worry after prosecutors announced Tuesday that they would not pursue any charges against her over a December scuffle with a rehab worker.
Riverside County District Attorney's spokesman John Hall said prosecutors determined there was insufficient evidence to pursue a misdemeanor battery case against the actress.
Police were called to a Betty Ford Center facility in Palm Desert around 1 a.m. on Dec. 12 after a worker accused Lohan of hurting her during an altercation. The worker, Dawn Holland, later spoke about the incident on camera with TMZ and was fired by Betty Ford for violating patient confidentiality rules.
Lohan was nearing the end of her three-month court-ordered treatment at the center after violating her probation on a 2007 drunken driving case.
Cattrall glams down for gritty indie role
NEW YORK -- After 12 years playing sultry screen vixen Samantha Jones on "Sex and the City," Kim Cattrall says she's "letting it all hang out" in her new role as a has-been porn star.
Cattrall gained 20 pounds for the title role in the indie film "Meet Monica Velour," about a washed up, aging porn star living in a rural Indiana trailer park.
"It was actually kind of a relief," the 54-year-old actress said Tuesday in an interview. "It was like getting rid of the Barbie doll and throwing it out and starting again."
Willie Nelson won't have to sing in court
EL PASO, Texas -- A Texas judge says Willie Nelson won't have to sing in court to resolve marijuana possession charges -- and a suggestion that he do so was a joke.
Hudspeth County Attorney Kit Bramblett had said Nelson could resolve the charges by pleading guilty, paying a fine -- and singing "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" for the court.

CATEGORIES Deals, Home Entertainment, Features, Movies, CinematicalThrough a deal made with Relativity Media, Netflix will stream a number of that company's titles mere months after their DVD release. The long-term agreement is significant in that the selected films will be available with Netflix's Watch Instantly feature (now available on the iPad and soon the iPhone) instead of airing on HBO, Showtime or any other premium cable channel during the usual "pay TV window." According to a press release, this is the first time studio quality theatrical feature films will be offered in a streaming option for Netflix subscribers.
Relativity has a lot of anticipated films coming out this year, including The Social Network, The Other Guys and Charlie St. Cloud, but the first wave of titles linked to the deal include David O. Russell's The Fighter, starring Christian Bale, Mark Wahlberg and Amy Adams, and Season of the Witch, which reunites Nic Cage with director Dominic Sena. Other titles mentioned are the Strause brothers' Skyline and something called Movie 43, from writer-director Peter Farley.
This deal is another nail on the coffin for cable outlets like HBO, but it's also been a slow death. Honestly, I haven't bothered subscribing to the premium service for years, and Netflix has had much to do with that. Even before they began streaming films, I found myself more inclined to pop in a disc from the rental service than watch something on cable. Only when one of the channels has a worthy series I wonder if I should re-subscribe. Lately, shows like Entourage and Weeds are being run into the ground and I haven't gotten into anything else.
For the channels to survive, they're obviously going to have to keep up the quality of their original programming. And I wonder if this deal will also mean I won't be able to watch Weeds or Dexter on Watch Instantly any more. Showtime will probably pull them off for good. And maybe HBO will even try to keep their documentaries from being available through Netflix, or these channels will end up with exclusive deals of their own on other Hollywood features. That will be bad for anyone like me who doesn't want to have to pay for all home entertainment platforms just to have access to any and all movies.
Can't there be more deals like the Netflix/Starz agreement? I'm not entirely sure how theirs is set up, but a lot of movies are available through Watch Instantly because they're also part of the Starz Play on-demand service. It might have confused things for the ratings of Party Down, unfortunately, but otherwise I've enjoyed having those films and series at my disposal without having access to Starz' cable channels.
In other Relativity Media news, Deadline has also learned the company, which currently sells distribution rights to the studios, is looking to become a mini-major and distribute films itself. Seems like in general Relativity is trying to avoid the big brand, old fashioned release outlets and reach out more directly to their audience. Maybe the Netflix partnership is only a stepping stone before they simply set up their own streaming service?

The Meridian girls' soccer team defeated Lynden 2-1 on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at Meridian High School.
The Trojans' Payton Lunde scored the first goal of the game in the 18th minute off an assist by Ryley Zapien. Despite heading into the half with a 1-0 lead after controlling the first half, Meridian didn't play nearly as crisp in the second half.
"In the second half, it was just kind of a mess," Meridian coach Andrea Ames said in a phone interview. "We had a ton of shots, and some really good looks, we just weren't able to put any in the back of the net."
Lynden's Peyton Fullner tied the game, 1-1, in the 71st minute, but Taylor Lunde answered back eight minutes later to score an unassisted, winning goal for the Trojans.
"The girls stuck with it. ... We were playing on our heels, but we found a way to win," Ames said.
Goal: Payton Lunde (Meridian), assist Ryley Zapien: time: 18:00; Goal: Peyton Fullner (Lynden), assist Alexa Smiley: time: 71:00; Goal: Taylor Lunde (Meridian), assist NA: time: 78:00. Shots on goal: Meridian 14; Lynden 3. Goalies (saves) Meridian: Sydney Gospodinovich (3); Lynden: Emily Holt (6).

Two-Vehicle Injury Collision on U.S. 60
Date of News Release: 09/17/2013
(Henderson, Ky.) -- Rebecca Byrd was traveling east on U.S. 60, just west of Henderson. Byrd then began to slow down for a car turning left onto Corydon-Geneva Road. Mark Filkins, who was also traveling east on U.S. 60, failed to slow down and made rear contact with Byrd's Chrysler Sebring. Filkins Nissan then hit a mailbox and came to rest just off the right side of the highway. Filkins was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the incident and suffered injuries to his head from making contact with the windshield. Byrd's vehicle came to rest off the right side of the highway with damage to the rear of the vehicle.
Byrd was taken to Henderson Methodist Hospital and treated for possible neck injuries. Filkins was also taken by ambulance and treated for injuries to his head. Ethan Byrd, who restrained in the back of Rebecca Byrd's Chrysler, was taken to Henderson Methodist Hospital but showed no injuries due to the incident.
The investigation is continuing.

In his tweet, signed with his initials, Pres. Obama said he'll have more to say on Climate Change in a speech Tuesday.—
Mark Knoller (@markknoller) June 22, 2013
It might not seem like much, but this afternoon's tweet from the official White House account came with a little something extra: the president's initials. The biggest news to us is that the president might have at last given up on tweeting from the @barackobama account, which belongs to the "nonpolitical" and wholly independent nonprofit Organizing for Action. Perhaps the exposure of the IRS' crackdown on conservative groups seeking nonprofit status has the president and OFA being a little more careful about public displays of coordination. A retweet will have to settle in this case.
But that's our concern, not the president's. He's choosing to turn his laser-like focus back to climate change, and the White House has released what is essentially a commercial for his speech Tuesday at Georgetown University. It's a strange move, considering the Senate could certainly use some help forcing immigration reform through next week, but who knows: at least one senator has attempted to inject climate change hysteria into the immigration debate.
Pres Obama just tweeted that "we owe it to our kids to do something about climate change." He posted video: youtu.be/gcL3_zzgWeU—

In Brief
Managing holiday stress
'Tis the season to be stressed! Especially if most of the "to dos" fall on your shoulders. We get so busy that instead of feeling gratitude for all that we have, we find ourselves focused on all that's missing. If this is you, then it's time to create new traditions. Your life is not a magazine cover and you are not Martha Stewart.
Begin with:
• Having realistic expectations — it is what it is.
• Taking time out for yourself. Walk away, breathe, relax.
• Limiting your "to dos." Just say no.
• Enjoying the season, lights, music, movies, friends and family.

REDLANDS - There is no mistaking the excitement of a child, and on Saturday the Redlands Bicycle Classic's Children's Public Race was no exception.
With eager eyes and a smile across his face, 3-year-old Magnus Hillman was first to cross the finish line in the first 50-yard heat of the tricycle race.
Mom Jennifer Hillman was waiting for him at the finish line, cheering him on with encouraging words and open arms.
"He races for skittles because he doesn't understand what a race is yet," Hillman said.
All of Saturday's RBC children's racers were winners, receiving a congratulatory medal as they crossed the finish line.
Rhonda and Joe Hwang, parents of Joelle and Jayden Hwang, were participants in this year's race.
"This is great family fun and it's something to do within the community," Joe said.
"This race helps to start the focus on health in their lives," said Rhonda.
"I like riding with my daddy in the cold-de-sac to prepare," said 4-year-old Joelle.
Her preparations paid off because Joelle flew through the finish line in first place in the second heat for the 4-year-olds.
Parents gathered at the finish line, waving their little ones across the finish line, while other parents lined the streets shouting encouragement and snapping pictures.
"I am excited to do the race. I want to win. I have been practicing for a couple of months and even got a bike for Christmas with a computer on it," said 7-year-old Joshua Boucher.
Joshua's parents, Michelle and Tim Boucher, said they like the fact that Joshua can come there and be competitive.
The sense of community could be felt throughout the RBC. Everyone gathered there for a common cause - to either participate or to offer support and kind words to loved ones and to each other.
Anytime there would be a "man down" the crowd would pull together to offer words of encouragement.
There are always stories of inspiration and determination.
On Saturday, one of those stories belonged to 5-year-old Conrad Wisniewski of Yucaipa.
As Conrad was about to cross the finish line in the first heat for 5-year-olds, his bike chain fell off his bike.
Conrad looked to his parents for encouragement, laid down his bike and continued to walk through the finish line.
The crowd loved it and cheered loudly.
Redlands resident Jill Prendergast was excited to have her three children in the races.
"We love this," she said. "It's good family time and a great time to be with the community. My kids woke up at 7 a.m. and couldn't wait to get down here."
Once again Team Micah House had a strong presence, sporting their familiar purple "I Love Micah House" shirts.
About 16 of their kids, ranging in age from 6 to 11, raced for "Team Micah."
"These races provide our kids an opportunity they wouldn't otherwise have. They trained all year at the Burrage Mansion and this gives them a goal and a sense of purpose," said Monica Jauregui, employee outreach intern.
"I am very excited," said 9-year-old Cesar Perez of Team Micah. "I have been riding around the corner at my house. This is my first bike race and I love it."
"This was so great for my first race," said 11-year old-Bradley Evans, a Cope Middle School student. "I trained around my house and up the hills by the Morey Mansion. I am proud of myself because all of the racers were very good. I am definitely coming back next year."

Tips for Beginning Dancers
Are you looking for a fun way to stay active and make friends? If so, you may want to consider taking dance lessons here at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio of San Jose. We offer a variety of programs, including ballroom, tango, and wedding dance lessons. These classes provide an excellent workout while helping you to improve your skills, breathing, and posture. Beginning dancers can find success by following these tips:
- Practice regularly – The only way to master a move or style of dancing is to practice as often as possible. During your dance lessons, you will be able to watch your instructor and ask questions regarding specific elements of each move. Once you learn your steps in class, you can commit them to memory by practicing on a regular basis at home. Practicing regularly will also allow you to observe any problems and address them immediately.
- Stick with it – It is natural to lose motivation when you do not succeed at a new task. But when it comes to taking dance lessons, it is essential to stick with the program instead of giving up. If you do not do well right away, you can spend more time practicing, find a dance partner to practice with, or even ask your instructor for extra guidance or tips.
- Dress comfortably – Whether you are taking swing, salsa, or ballroom dance lessons, you will need to be able to move freely. This is why it is important to wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move your arms and legs without restriction. Be sure to choose comfortable footwear as well!
- Keep a positive attitude – Dancing is one of the most enjoyable activities you can participate in, but it can be difficult to have fun when you are feeling anxious or stressed. Remember to relax, let loose, and keep a positive attitude during your dance lessons. This will help you have a more enjoyable experience.
You can try these tips when you enroll in ballroom dance lessons here at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio of San Jose. If you want to learn more about our many wonderful dance programs, visit our website or call (408) 899-5354.

For many people this is unnerving. Shadow boxing between White House and Republicans on federal spending cuts or sequester cuts 2013 is incomprehensible
Barack Obama and his administration are in a piquant situation over the spending cuts. Republicans are unconvinced, while the President and his administration are trying to impress upon the general public the need to avoid these imminent cuts in government spending. White House is trying to convince the public if this really happens, it will not just affect the government functions, but also impact many public services that are needed to be kept going at any cost.
But the opposition figures remain unconvinced accusing the President and his administration of trying to present a far worse case scenario to the public in order to gain its sympathy. They say that the just $85 billion cut will do no harm to government functioning or services being provided to general public. Government had tried to suggest that the $85 billion cut in government spending will affect some healthcare services besides of course surveillance at its borders with neighbors. But Republican officials have flatly refused to buy this government argument saying it is not going to affect anything. Senior Republican figure and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal mocks at White House argument. "There is a responsible way to cut less than 3 percent of the federal budget. It's time for the president to show leadership…The president needs to stop campaigning, stop trying to scare the American people", says Jindal.
Earlier Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano had said that spending cuts will impact maintaining security in the country. "I don't think we can maintain the same level of security at all places around the country with sequester", had clearly said. But this was seen by Republicans as a way to pressurize the opposition.
Another Republican stalwart Cathy McMorris Rodgers said that the cuts will not impact anything important and added, "The Republicans, almost 300 days ago, put forward our place to replace these cuts with smarter reforms, smarter cuts…What we need is for the president to get off the campaign trail, quit talking about cutting taxes".
Meanwhile people are concerned about this shadowboxing between White House and Republicans. A reader says, "This is absolutely ridiculous. Does Obama truly think the level of debt he is racking up is sustainable? I realize he wants to stimulate the economy, but all he's doing is putting the US in a position that is unrecoverable. He received his tax increases and the Republicans met him on those. He needs to hold up his part of the deal and now let the spending cuts occur. This is crazy". Others too are voicing similar sentiments.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - No. 1 in the nation for the sixth consecutive week and off to the best 30-game start in program history at 28-2 overall (6-2 SEC), top-ranked Tennessee will look to continue its momentum by hosting an important Wednesday league doubleheader against Southeastern Conference Eastern Division foe South Carolina (24-7, 3-3 SEC). First pitch at Tyson Park is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET, with a live broadcast of the day's second contest on The Sports Animal (99.1, 99.3 FM, 990 AM, on Yahoo Sports through utladyvols.com) at approximately 6:30 p.m. with the "Voice of the Lady Vols" Mickey Dearstone on the call.
The Orange & White will be looking to extend their current 10-game winning skein against the Gamecocks and improve their overall series lead of 17-15 over the Garnet & Black. This is the second consecutive season that USC has ventured to Knoxville to play the Lady Vols after UT swept a three-game home set from South Carolina over April 18-19, 2006. Monica Abbott picked up the victory in the circle in all three match-ups as Tennessee prevailed in the hard-fought series by scores of 7-0, 5-3 and 3-0. Then-shortstop Lindsay Schutzler led the offensive attack at .556 (5-of-9), while first baseman Tonya Callahan delivered an impressive four RBI in the series opener with a two-run home run, a run-scoring groundout and an RBI single.
South Carolina, under the guidance of 20th-year head coach Joyce Compton, enters Wednesday's action mired in a four-game losing streak after suffering a disappointing sweep at the hands of No. 2 Alabama in Columbia, S.C., last weekend. The next victory for Compton will be one for the history books as the long time coach enters the doubleheader against UT with 999 career triumphs, requiring just one win to become the sixth coach in NCAA Division I history to achieve 1,000 victories. Tennessee will be USC's third ranked opponent of the campaign as the Gamecocks have struggled against Top 25 teams in 2007 to the tune of a 0-4 mark. Sophomore utility player Ashton Payne leads the SEC's seventh-rated offensive attack (.261) with a .362 average (34-of-94) over 26 starts with one home run, 12 RBI and a team-high six stolen bases. Senior McKenna Hughes (.312) has been responsible for eight of the Garnet & Black's 14 team home runs while registering a squad-best 22 RBI. The pitching staff consisting of junior Kate Pouliot (0.98 ERA, 12-2, 93 K's in 85.2 IP), junior Melissa Hendon (1.10 ERA, 10-4, 146 K's in 108.2 IP) and freshman Krystle Robinson (2.30 ERA, 2-1, 14 K's in 24.1 IP) have combined for the league's fourth-best ERA at 1.18 with 11 shutouts. The defense has also been solid with just 26 errors in 31 contests for a .971 fielding percentage to hold down the No. 4 spot in the league ratings.
With injuries to several key contributors including senior India Chiles (third in the SEC in hitting at .440) and freshman Tiffany Huff (third in the league in RBI with 32) currently limiting the offensive options, Tennessee will be forced to count on the contributions of its younger players as the rugged SEC schedule continues. UT swept a crucial conference series from Mississippi State last weekend at Tyson Park by 3-0, 2-1 (eight inn.) and 5-1 scores. Abbott improved to 22-1 on the season with victories in all three match-ups, while clutch RBI hits from Callahan, junior catcher Shannon Doepking, Schutzler and freshman second baseman Nicole Kajitani paved the way to the sweep. Doepking came through with a game-winning double in the eighth inning of UT's 2-1, extra-frame win. Schutzler and Kajitani were responsible for two hits and a pair of RBI each in the finale. Callahan's RBI single in the first inning of the opener proved to be the game-winner as UT rolled to a 3-0 triumph.
Live stats will be available through utladyvols.com (Gametracker) for both contests between the Lady Vols and Gamecocks, and periodic updates will be provided to the Lady Vol Hotline at 865-974-8700 (box #6).

Stocktoberfest: Where startups and Wall Street actually get along
"Ready for some charts, buddy?"
"Hell yeah, I'm ready for some charts!"
And so began my weekend at a conference called Stocktoberfest: Investing for Profit and Joy.
Like many trade writers, I go to a lot of conferences. And like many conference attendees, I go for the networking, not the content. Anyone who's sat through enough tech-related panels, interviews, and "fireside chats," knows they eventually start to run together, creating a halo of uselessness over one's day.
So you can imagine my attitude going into a conference called Stocktoberfest: Investing for Profit and Joy. Investing has contributed approximately zero joy and negligible profit to my life. I was a little confused as to why Sarah even sent me, but also wasn't about to turn down a few days in Coronado.
To my surprise, I found myself fascinated by much of the content that was, on the surface, meant for the trader audience. Speakers discussed things from macro-trends in foreign exchange markets to complex trading and investment strategies. Part of what I found compelling was how scientific playing the stock market is. It makes venture capital look like random, arbitrary picking. VCs invest because they "like" a company, or because they like the entrepreneur. Traders do it based on cold data, and they do it at scale. They'd look at a big exciting $500,000 seed funding deal as a rounding error.
The reverse was true, too. Many of the traders and money managers in the audience told me they enjoyed the startup demos from companies like Videolicious, NewHive, Blayze, and Rebel Mouse — companies that offer very little relevance to their work — more than the detailed discussions about, say, moving average crossovers.
It was a rare melding of Wall Street and Silicon Valley, two worlds that rarely see eye-to eye, much less attend the same event. It's a rare individual that can maneuver both realms deftly at once, but that is precisely what Howard Lindzon, StockTwits' founder and the day's fast-talking, wise-cracking ringmaster, does every day.
I'd heard stories from his Lindzonpalooza events back in my finance writing days; Brad Feld called Lindzon the "king of ghetto entrepreneurship," another guy called the events TechCrunch Disrupt Meets Burning Man. Lindzon himself has made weekend-in-vegas comparisons.
The conference reflected the many identities of StockTwits, as well as Lindzon's identity as an advocate of the San Diego startup scene, active angel investor, and friend of powerful finance gurus. StockTwits occupies an in-between world that isn't quite pure finance and isn't quite pure startup.
Sure, the company is a social media startup that aims — to crib from Mark Zuckerberg — to make the financial world more open and connected. But it's also a financial company, doing battle against several large, powerful data and news conglomerates. And lastly it's publisher and news service, providing highly specialized information to a highly specialized audience.
It was a "something for everyone" approach that I wish more conferences would embrace. I was happy that there was something for me, the tech writer, since I still had to file stories (I covered StockTwits' API and Rebel Mouse's $2.5 million funding). But I was more thankful I got to listen to Michael Parekh's thoughts on the coming broadband disaster, or Josh Brown's thoughts on transparency in financial punditry.
Ultimately it served to increase my interest in the coming fintech revolution, as Lindzon characterized it. There is such a high premium on financial data. This is why Bloomberg subscriptions cost $2,000 a month; why the most basic Factiva susbcription costs $10,000 a year; why LexisNexus has a 151-page pamphlet just to explain its pricing.
But no longer. StockTwits, its API partners, and many other fintech startups, are making sophisticated trading information and rich sentiment analysis available for free or nearly free. The startup mentality is beginning to infect finance (only a few years to a decade after it's infiltrated New York's other legacy industries like publishing, advertising, and fashion). "The years of the financial Web being locked behind paywalls are behind us," Lindzon said. This is why StockTwits, with its 6 million users, is free. "We're democratizing access to financial information."
So I suppose the headline of this piece could be "Cynical writer goes to conference, actually learns something." It's a good thing I caught the last flight out of San Diego today. I think the sunshine is starting to affect my brain.

The 83-year-old Bulger, the alleged former leader of the Winter Hill Gang, cultivated an early image as a modern-day Robin Hood who gave Thanksgiving dinners to working-class neighbors and kept drug dealers out of his South Boston neighborhood. But that was shattered when authorities started digging up bodies. He fled Boston in 1994 and became one of the nation's most wanted fugitives until he was captured in 2011 in Santa Monica, Calif., where he had been living with his longtime girlfriend in a rent-controlled apartment.
Bulger's former partner and friend, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi, 79, took the witness stand against him Friday. In rapid-fire succession, Flemmi described Bulger's alleged role in a string of killings during the 1970s and '80s. He said Bulger either planned the killings, approved them or committed them himself. Bulger looked straight ahead and took notes on a legal pad. When Flemmi began his testimony on Thursday, the two men exchanged obscenities as court adjourned for the day. Prosecutors have said they expect to rest their case this week.
Bulger's lawyers have not had a chance to cross-examine Flemmi yet. Earlier Thursday, Bulger attorney J.W. Carney Jr. cross-examined a former drug dealer who testified that Bulger demanded $1 million at gunpoint during a 1983 meeting. William David Lindholm described himself as a major marijuana smuggler who distributed along the East Coast. He said he negotiated the amount demanded by Bulger down to $250,000 and agreed to pay it. Lindholm acknowledged that he testified under oath that he would not seek any benefit from his testimony, but later allowed his lawyer to ask prosecutors for a reduction in his sentence for his cooperation in a separate case.
Eleven men and seven women make up the panel of 12 regular jurors and six alternates.
Flemmi is expected to continue his testimony on Monday.

Court Hearing For Jean Figali and Mario Virzi Herrera Postponed
Friday, October 07 2011 @ 12:57 PM EDT
Contributed by: Don Winner
Views: 1,396
An arrest warrant was issued and Figali was arrested on 7 July 2010 in Chiriqui when he was found as the result of a police operation in the sector of Guabal�. On December 23, 2010, the court replaced preventative detention with "house arrest" and Figali was released from prison. Then last May the Second Superior Tribunal replaced "house arrest" with "country arrest" - meaning Figali can't leave Panama while he is awaiting trial. (Panama America)

Please visit the webpage for more details - type terralongfarm into your serch engine.
Terralong Farm is set on a 150 acre cattle farm perched high above Kangaroo Valley. With magnificent views north, east and west you will have one of the best seats in the valley.
The property has one large house with a swimming pool and lots of land to explore and have adventures in.
Welcome to Terrralong Farm
Terralong is just 4 minute drive from the shops and cafes of Kangaroo Valley village.
The house is set in a large, well established garden and looks north, east and west over the valley to the escarpments on the other sides. It is a spectacular spot.
In the cooler months a fog is formed on the valley floor, so the front lawn seems to border a white lake which stretches to far away cliffs.
It has been said that Terralong probably has the best positioned house in the whole valley ? it faces north-east and enjoys unsurpassed views; it is just above the fog line; it is at the top of a slope which catches and accentuates cooling breezes in summer, but is protected from southerly weather in winter; and still is near the village, which is hidden just 4 minutes away at the bottom of the hill behind a gum forest.
The cattle are silver Murray Greys, a breed noted for their gentle nature. But mothers with young calves should be given a fairly wide berth, as they can feel threatened. The herd is rotated through the paddocks, so please leave all gates as you find them.
About 50 acres of the property is bush, the rest green pastures. There are some great walks to the tops of the hills, and the views from all over the property are pretty special.
If you are not ones for walking around the 150 acres, you will find plenty of space to move around in at the house.
Terralong sleeps eight with a maximum of 10. The house has one king size en suite room, a double room and two single rooms. We also have a very large rumpus room that has a double bed for extras.
All linen is provided, towels are supplied to the main beds, and can be hired by others for an extra cost.
Food and good company being the only thing you will need to bring!
Kangaroos and wallabies usually come out to sun themselves in the late afternoon.
Wombats are common, especially at night.
The odd echidna can be seen padding around at any time.
Wedge-tailed eagles ride the thermals from the valley floor, circling at about the same level as the house. Flocks of black Major Mitchell cockatoos sometimes fill the trees.
With a well established garden and unsurpassed views over the valley. A beautiful shady tree to sit under and have breakfast or lunch, or even take a swim in the pool.
A BBQ is at the house for your use, with plenty of tables and chairs for your evening dinner watching the stars and moon at night.

Hasn't Jacqui Smith heard of email?
Given the Government's plans to slash and burn £15billion in Whitehall costs, David Ruffley, the shadow policing minister, has found a good place to start.
He asks the Home Office how much Jacqui Smith's department spent on "branded and non branded" stationery last year. The cost is a staggering £3.01million (the cost of, say, 136 nurses).

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - The month of February is National Heart Awareness month and in honor of it why not give the best gift from your heart. Lubbock United Blood Services asks you to, Find The Hero In You, by giving the gift of life.
Lubbock is home of two major hospitals and several clinics that use blood every day to save lives. Les Long with United Blood Services here in Lubbock says their short supply of blood has marked them with urgent appeals several times throughout the month of February. This means they could not give the blood supply that the hospitals requested.
"It's just been a really tight month I'm not exactly sure why, I guess all I can say is, is that the use at the hospital has been greater than the number of donations coming through the door," Long said.
As of right now at the United Blood Service enough people have donated that Lubbock has been taken off the list of urgent appeals, but Long expects they could be back on that list as early as Monday if the South Plains residents don't start donating.

This Friday night, the first gameplay footage of "UFC 2009" by THQ will be unveiled:
UFC president Dana White and host Keighley will unveil the first gameplay footage trailer of the upcoming video game, and they'll also feature "two key fighters" who will be featured in the game.
"UFC 2009" is the first videogame to be released as a part of THQ's multi-year deal with the UFC. As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) previously reported, a five-year contract gives THQ (which also develops the WWE line of games) exclusive rights to publish the UFC games through the end of 2011 for all console and portable platforms, as well as wireless devices.
It's easy to underestimate how important the game is. It's not just a big source of revenue, it is a catalyst for growth. One of the more understated factors in World Championship Wrestling's growth in the nineties was the video game series by THQ. A great fighting game transcends all boundaries, and will help make fans at home familiar with fighters they see on TV, even if they have never even seen them fight before. It will also provide revenue to fighters, if Dana White's recent statements are to be believed.

Washington, Apr 4 : Golfers looking to improve their putting may find an advantage in visualizing the hole as bigger, a new study has claimed.
For the first time, Jessica K. Witt from Purdue University, looked at how manipulating what athletes see could influence their immediate performance.
"We know that how people perceive the environment affects their ability to act in it, such as scoring as basket or hitting a baseball, and now we know that seeing a target as larger leads to improved performance.
"More work is needed to better understand this effect, but we think the perceived increase in target size will boost confidence in one's abilities," she said.
Witt's previous work has shown how perception and performance work together in softball, tennis and football. For example, softball players who hit the ball better saw it as bigger, and people successfully kicking a football through the goal posts saw the target as larger.
In this golf study, 36 participants putted to two different-sized holes while a projector displayed a ring of smaller and larger circles around each hole to create an optical illusion.
The smaller circles around the hole made it look bigger. Before putting, the person's perception of each hole was measured by having them draw the estimated size of the hole.
Their perception was correlated with their scores, and those who saw the smaller hole, which was 5.08 centimetres in diameter, as bigger putted about 10 percent more successfully.
"A future goal is to develop techniques to help athletes see their target differently.
"Effects of these visual illusions will then lead to improvements in performance," she added.
The study has been published in Psychological Science. (ANI)

Weak localization or coherent backscattering is a general effect for waves scattered by a disordered medium. It is an interference effect that survives over length scales much larger than the mean free path, and arises from the time reversal symmetry of the wavelets scattered in the backscattering direction. In the exact backscattering direction, counter propagating wavelets will interfere constructively, while sufficiently far away from this direction phase differences wash out the interference effect. The result is a cone of enhanced backscattering which has a width of the order of l/l, where l is the wavelength and l is the (transport) mean free path.

KFIX Rock News: "Buckingham Nicks" Reissue, Concerts Could Follow Current Fleetwood Mac Tour
Fleetwood Mac's current tour will keep the group on the road at least until early December, but Lindsey Buckingham says he and band mate Stevie Nicks have been discussing another musical endeavor they may turn their attentions to after the trek ends.
The singer/guitarist tells the Los Angeles Times that he and Nicks are finally considering rereleasing the long-out-of-printBuckingham Nicks album, the 1973 collection they recorded as a duo prior to joining Fleetwood Mac.
Lindsey explains, however, that no decision has been made yet exactly how the album, which arrived 40 years ago this September, will be packaged and promoted.
"I think it really comes down to what we want to do with [the CD] format," he notes. "Do we want to just release it and that's it? Do we want to add some bonus tracks? What level of involvement do we take it to?"
Buckingham says if it were completely up to him, he would add "a couple of bonus tracks" to the disc and support it by playing some concerts.
Late last year, Nicks told Rolling Stone she'd also like to see an expanded Buckingham Nicks reissue. In addition, she suggested that she and Lindsey could play some shows with the same session musicians that were featured on the record.
"These are dialogues we've had, but only in the hypothetical," Buckingham points out. "We have not come to any decisions about what we want to do."
As previously reported, "Without You," one of the new tracks included on Fleetwood Mac's recent Extended Play digital EP, is a rerecorded version of a song that dates back to around the time of Buckingham Nicks.
The North American leg of Fleetwood Mac's trek wraps up this Saturday in Sacramento, California. The band has confirmed international dates scheduled through a December 7 show in Auckland, New Zealand.

I have tried a lot of mascaras, and this is by far the best one ever! I'm half Chinese, so my lashes are already long & dark, but they point downwards & are straight as anything. I usually curl them once & apply a coat of this mascara at the start of applying my make-up, then at the end apply another coat, leave to dry & then curl again and it's a winner! Beautifully long lush lashes that point skyward, and stay like that all day, haven't been able to achieve this with any other mascara. It doesn't stick to my curler, doesn't smudge at all during the day, and doesn't flake either. The only downside is that it's over $50 here in Australia, so I stock up in duty free whenever I go overseas! Apart from that, absolute HG of mascaras!

It's not work on my lashes, I don't think it can hold curl for asian eyelash. But the best thing is Lancome mascara don't clumps easily, and its very light not even add much volume and length for lashes. I like lancome L'EXTRÊME more than Virtuose, because it can hold curl. :)

I love this mascara, it's my absolute favourite. It separates the lashes, gives them great volume and fans them out so beautifully! I think it gets better with usage as it can be a bit too wet in the beginning but as soon as it gets a little drier it's absolutely perfect. Definitly worth buying!

I remember being so impressed the first time I put this on my eyelashes. It became my ultimate favourite! It does everything that it's intended to do. My eyelashes were lovely and curled and clump-free. It didn't take long for the mascara to dry out though - that's the major let down for me. For the price, I don't know if I'll ever re-purchase... :(

I got a free sample from my friend and tried it out and this mascara definitely is my favorite curling mascara. It holds a curl really well an i just love that cause azn lashes are the hardest thing to make it hold a decent curl. The product isnt too wet and dries fast and i love dry mascara formulas. So this mascara is a definite one to have.

I actually received this from my mom's friend who got this as a gwp, so by the time I opened it up and used it, it was already dried out. However that didn't stop me from using it!
Overall, I give this a 3.
It gives me nice volume, separates my lashes, and they don't make my lashes feel rock hard! The only con would be that it doesn't keep my lashes curled (I ALWAYS curl my lashes before hand) all day. Ds mascaras usually hold my curl all day, but this one usually doesn't keep it curled...
I lovee the brush though!! If I do purchase the full size of this, it'd definitely be for the brush alone. :)

I really liked this product, too bad it dries out too quickly. Its expensive as well, so if you're on a budget, this is not the product for you. The thing I liked the most is my lashes looked longer, and fuller, and were well separated. I used this everyday and I'm a mascara fanatic!!! However, after a month its dried up and not good anymore.

The Volusia County Sheriff's Office is investigating a burglary of a DeBary convenience store early Thursday morning in which the thieves used a truck to smash the front doors and then grabbed nearly $9,000 worth of cigarettes from inside.
Investigators have released a picture of the suspects' truck and are asking for anyone who recognizes the vehicle to call the Sheriff's Office.Deputies responded to an alarm sounding at Lil Sammy's Citgo, 600 S. Charles R Beall Blvd., at about 3:30 a.m. When they arrived on scene they discovered the glass front doors had been shattered.
The store's surveillance video showed that three masked men had used a light colored mid-1990s Dodge Dakota extended cab pickup truck to ram the doors. The men quickly went inside and loaded about 148 cartons of cigarettes into garbage bags. They then jumped into the truck and fled. The damage they caused to the store is estimated at $30,000.The men had their faces covered with masks or cloths and wore long sleeved shirts. They appeared to be in their early to mid 20s.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at (386) 668-3830 or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida, toll-free, at (888) 277-TIPS.

SNAP-HAPPY dogs are getting all groomed up as they prepare to put themselves in the picture.
Photographer Lindsay Robson is planning to create the ultimate dog-lovers' calendar in aid of charity.
She has been capturing a dozen different pooches in aid of Cleadon Kennels.
The self-employed photographer, from Hebburn, came up with the idea to make a charity calendar in aid of the doggy refuge when visiting in the hope of buying a family pet.
She is now the proud owner of eight-week-old Jack Russell-patterdale terrier pup, or patterjack, named Jasper.
"It just popped into my mind," she said. "They rely on donations, there are a lot of dogs in there that need homes.
"Every little helps."
Lindsay, 30, mum to Joshua, 10, Bradley, six, and Ethan, two, has so far done shoots with three pups – Charley the greyhound, cockerspaniel Bailey, and Ace the blue Staffordshire bull terrier – and has her month booked to capture the other nine dogs needed for the 2015 calendar.
"I have had a lot of interest in it," she said. "A lot of people have come forward, saying they want to help out and get their dogs involved.
"I've spoken to Cleadon Kennels and they are over the moon that I'm doing it.
"I think I should have all the photos done by the end of the month."
Other doggy models set to be captured for the canine calendar include a shih tzu, and white Alsatian.
Lindsay, who runs Lindsay Robson Photography, is hoping to have about 100 calendars printed, which will cost about £5 or £6 each when they are printed later in the year.
"I have done photographs for charities in the past," she said. "But this is the first thing like this that I have done off my own back.
"I just hope it goes well and I raise quite a bit of money.
"I have a skill and I'd like to put it to good use to put back into the community."
To get involved with the calendar, or keep up-to-date with news about a release date for it, call Lindsay on 07507 592 909 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

Dividing tasks among different individuals is a more efficient way to get things done, whether you are an ant, a honeybee or a human. A new study by researchers at Michigan State University's BEACON Center for the Study of Evolution in Action suggests that this efficiency may also explain a key transition in evolutionary history, from single-celled to multi-celled organisms.
UCLA biochemists have designed specialized proteins that assemble themselves to form tiny molecular cages hundreds of times smaller than a single cell. The creation of these miniature structures may be the first step toward developing new methods of drug delivery or even designing artificial vaccines.

I'm immersing myself in some serious work on the novel this weekend, but I had to stop for a moment and share this story with you. Yesterday I went to go pick up a package at Penguin, the publisher of Imaginary Girls and my upcoming novel 17 & Gone. I live within walking distance to the … Continue reading

The Isolating Writer
When I have a ton of work to do—like, for example, right now with freelance copyediting deadlines, teaching responsibilities for my writing class (which I think is going really well! I love my students), and novel revisions and a nice, solid book deadline I have noted in beautiful panic red in my calendar, among other … Continue reading
My Turning Point
Not so many years ago, I had a turning point in my writing career. An "Aha!" moment. Something made me remember it yesterday and I wanted to share it here—to show how you might think you're going one way down a certain path you've carved for yourself, but in fact there's another path carved for … Continue reading
Publishing Rites of Passage: Seeing Pages
Guess what? I think my book is really going to be a book. After all the hard work, harder than I've ever worked on a piece of writing in my entire life, so much of me poured into those pages (and I have to tell you I'm feeling happier about the novel than ever), I … Continue reading
Writing for Hire… and for James Frey
I read this article about James Frey's fiction factory with great interest, since he was recruiting writers from a room I could have been in, had this happened some years ago. For those who haven't been following this story, James Frey is writing YA novels now. Well, he's not exactly writing them. But he's getting … Continue reading
While I've Been Writing…
I've just emerged from a self-imposed push to finish a new project on top of my novel revision on top of a big freelance deadline and I was here pushing myself so hard that, last night, I went to bed complaining my "bones hurt." But I did it. I reached the freelance deadline, I finished … Continue reading
When You're Desperate for Something, Anything to Happen…
…sometimes you turn your entire blog turquoise. Sorry about that! I'm sort of into it right now, so I'll leave it be. But I lost the gorgeous header E made for me and I'm mourning it. I've had to put aside the blog post all about writers colonies until Monday—I'm just focusing on a freelance … Continue reading
The End Has No End?
I'm working up some plot changes and new developments to the novel before I turn it in Feb. 1—nothing too drastic, just stuff I wholeheartedly think will make the thing better. I just called it the "thing"—I worked too long and hard to call what I've done a thing. But what is it? In no … Continue reading
And Then the Phone Rang
I'm going to tell you a little story. Once upon a time, I had a job. It came with a window: But I lost the window. And—far worse—the door. And I was being a big baby about it. Because I knew I should just be grateful to still have a job. Everyone says that. So … Continue reading
High Contrast
Thinking about black-and-white lately. Thinking in black-and-white. You know, there was a time when I almost didn't become a writer… I was maybe going to try to be a photographer instead. Back then, I did not do digital photographs. Horrors. I loved it old-school, with the stink on your hands and the possibility at every … Continue reading
