I was able to get out for a long run on Saturday, boys had baseball in the afternoon and we had fun with friends at a not-so Cinco De Mayo party.

Season preview: Pac-12 race could call for more Oregon reign
Posted by Rob Moseley
From today's season preview section:
Inside the tunnel leading from Oregon's locker room to Autzen Stadium, there's a wall that required a new paint job this offseason.
The wall lists each year the Ducks have won a conference title, and a fresh "2010" was added to the mural. Just below that is a line noting the UO title from 2009, and also 2001 and 2000, rare back-to-back crowns in the Pac-10.
The exception to that rarity was USC's run of dominance beginning a decade ago, which included the only instance of three straight undisputed conference titles in Pac-10 history. This fall, the Ducks can match the feat accomplished by the Trojans from 2003-05.
A Ducky Dynasty? It just might be.
With the Trojans hobbled by NCAA sanctions stemming from their era of Pac-10 dominance, nobody has taken advantage better than the Ducks. Oregon was perfectly positioned to do so in the final years of Mike Bellotti's coaching career, and rocketed to the top of the conference in each of the two seasons coached so far by Chip Kelly.
Can Kelly make it three straight? The pieces must fall into place, the perfect combination of talent, coaching, leadership and even a little luck.
"Our 2011 team will be different from our 2010 team, just like our 2010 team was different from our 2009 team," Kelly said.
That said, the stage is set for the Ducks to make it three straight. Click here for the complete story.

As a Dallas resident, I can't wait to see all the green and yellow (and black, carbon, white) flood into the city. I've been tempering my excitement, but now I'm ready!
Rob - thanks for all the updates during fall camp…I know that it has been tough the last couple of weeks with practice being closed.

Are you ready for some football - two days and a wake up!
Jim Andreson, Vancouver, WA
I am really pumped about Oregon. I started there in 1971 and went thru all the bad years. The only thing that I am concerned about is that I keep thinking of Texas last year. They supposedly had it all and then they ended with a 5-7 year. I don't expect that but I want to caution everyone to heed CK's motto, "Win The Day". We should be okay then….
DucksInOrder, San Diego
Rob…Colin Cowherd has been reporting the Pac-12 is "actively pursuing Oklahoma and Oklahoma State" as per the impending departure of Texas A&M from the Big 12. If you have any information at some point to add to this issue it would be much appreciated.
Rob…just an excellent job of reporting and giving us fans an overview of where the Ducks have been, are now, and possibly are going to. Get some sleep, the seasons' almost upon us. WTD 37-17
MarcTheDuck, pdx
Loved this one, Rob… very comprehensive. Jim Andreson: you're a little older than me but not much. Can you believe we lived to see the "Golden Age of Duck Football"? I still really can't quite.
Mckenzieroon, Eugene
How have the Ducks taken advantage of the "Trojans hobbled by sanctions" when the scholarship limit won't affect them until this year or maybe next and the only post season oportunity they missed was a year when the Ducks went undefeated?
The Ducks may take advantage of the sanctions in the next 3-5 years but I'm tired of hearing about Oregon only reaching national prominence because of the fall of USC. Oregon soundly beat the Trojans in 2009 and 2010. Let's call it what it is. Oregon was the better team, straight up.

Mono recording of a door creaking in the abandoned building downstairs. Recorded at high gain with an AKG D-65 mic shoved against a gap between wall and floor. Creepy.

Hugh Jackman is indeed playing a villainous pirate in the upcoming Peter Pan origin story from Warner Bros., but here's the hook: He's not Hook. Pan (out July 17) takes the J.M. Barrie mythos and shuffles the deck, outfitting Jackman with a flying ship and a diabolical Vandyke as the dreaded pirate Blackbeard, whose men have been kidnapping young wartime orphans—including a certain Peter (Levi Miller, left)—from their beds. Meanwhile, Captain Hook is neither a captain nor behooked, but played by Garrett Hedlund as a dashing Indiana Jones-like figure. Says director Joe Wright, "This isn't exactly the Neverland story you know."
Entertainment Weekly also has more, including pictures of Hugh Jackman as Blackbeard.
Collider has all the character posters.
And PAN's official Instagram posted that the trailer will debut tomorrow at 12pm EST.
More new pictures from the InStyle photoshoot. Thank you to caroldanvers on tumblr for the link!
Garrett is in the December issue of InStyle magazine, on newsstands now.
Bankside boards John Michael McDonagh's War on Everyone
Bankside Films has boarded John Michael McDonagh's War on Everyone, which has Garrett Hedlund and Michael Pena attached to star.
McDonagh, whose credits include The Guard and Calvary, will write and direct the black comedy. The story follows two corrupt cops in New Mexico who frequently blackmail criminals. They run into trouble when they take on an outlaw more dangerous than they are.
Bankside is introducing the project to buyers here at AFM and will start pre-sales in key territories.
Producers Chris Clark and Flora Fernandez Marengo of Reprisal Films will reteam with McConagh after also working on his previous two acclaimed features.
War on Everyone will shoot in New Mexico in March 2015.
Bankside's sister company Head Gear Films is providing production finance.
Bankside's Head of Sales & Marketing Stephen Kelliher said "We are delighted to be working with such a distinctive filmmaker whose work we have long admired. War on Everyone is a high-octane action comedy that represents an exciting new direction in filmmaking for John. It is sure to leave audiences on the edge of their seats and with a pain in their side from laughter."
Clark and Marengo added: "We are excited to be making John's next film with Bankside Films and look forward to unveiling the project to distributors at the AFM and moving towards production early next year."
Bankside's slate also includes Freeheld starring Julianne Moore and Ashby starring Mickey Rourke.

Kentucky's "gas tax" on sales of gasoline, diesel and ethanol motor fuels will decrease by 1.5 cents per gallon on New Year's Day, reflecting a drop in the calculated average wholesale fuel price.
The decrease would result in a loss to the Kentucky Road Fund of about $45 million on an annualized basis.
"The Road Fund is our source of revenue for building, improving and maintaining Kentucky roads and bridges, so any loss of revenue is concerning," Kentucky Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock said Thursday.

Recent reviews:
March 4, 2015 - The length stated for this watch is 7". However, it is actually 9", which makes it too large for me. However, I gave it two stars because it is very cute and cheerful.
February 4, 2015 - I really like this, it's so cute! My wrist is small, so I had to add a hole about another inch further down, but that's fine, it works. I love that it's colorful and easy to read.
December 29, 2014 - cutest watch ever! I got it for school because we are required to have one. my wrist is a little small so it slips a little but it's not a big deal. it's so cute.
December 5, 2014 - Love this watch..I wear it often and get compliments and questioned about were I got it.....
December 4, 2014 - I bought two of these watches - one for me and one as a gift for my sister. We both love them. The band is a bit long for my tiny wrist but it was easy to poke a new hole in the band to make it tighter and the second loop keeps the excess band out of my way. It's a little tough to read in low lighting because of the large rotating paw, but I think this watch is absolutely adorable!

Crewe Alexandra: Steve Davis set to shuffle pack at Coventry City
Posted: February 23, 2013
|MAX Clayton and Ryan Colclough are battling it out for a call-up to Crewe's front line at Coventry City this afternoon (3pm).
Steve Davis is preparing to freshen up his side as he prepares to face the Sky Blues for the third time in 18 days with Ajay Leitch-Smith among those expected to be given a breather.
Striker Leitch-Smith has played in Crewe's last seven matches having been ruled out for two-and-a-half months with a foot injury.
Byron Moore and Harry Davis are also gunning for recalls as Crewe hope for a repeat of their Johnstone's Paint Trophy heroics at the Ricoh Arena – but Matt Tootle is not expected to be risked with a toe injury.
Steve Davis said: "We've got nine games in the next three weeks, including under-21 games, and that's a hell of a lot. It's going to need a big effort from the squad.
"I've been looking to see who looks tired and who's fresh.
"I'm pleased with the way the squad is performing and working hard, but the next couple of weeks will be a case of how they recover from games as well.
"I'll do what's right for the team and players. There are still a lot of games to go and we'll need everyone firing."

Thought the release of tour-exclusive EP inclusion Fool meant JMSN was done dropping singles and videos off his 2012 studio debut? Au contraire, mon frere; he was simply taking a breather. Today, the ever-creative singer/songwriter/producer returns to our pages with yet another fresh single and accompanying set of visuals. On Love & Pain, the Detroit native showcases a more vulnerable side of his artistic persona, telling a woman in his life, "Your love is everything to me." A self-produced beat built around a plaintive sax loop accompanies JMSN's vocals. As usual, Stephen Mallett's video comes loaded with symbolism; a post on the artist's Tumblr spells it all out. Still haven't copped †Priscilla†? Click here to stream the set right here in The DJBooth.

A class for efficient manipulation of N-fold Kronecker products in terms of their operands only.
classdef KronProd %KronProd class constructor. % %by Matt Jacobson, %Copyright, The University of Michigan, 2005 % % %This is a class for efficiently representing and manipulating %N-fold Kronecker products of matrices (or of objects that behave like %matrices) in terms of their operands only. % %Given matrices {A,B,C,D,...} and a scalar s, an object M of this class %can be used to represent % % Matrix = s * A kron B kron C kron D kron ... (Eq. 1) % %where "A kron B" denotes kron(A,B), the Kronecker product of A and B. %Internally, however, M stores the data {s,A,B,C,D,...} separately, %which is typically far more byte-compact than numerically expanding out %the RHS of Eq. 1. % %Furthermore, many mathematical manipulations of Kronecker products are more %efficient when done in terms of {s,A,B,C,D,...} separately than when done with %the explicit numerical form of M as a matrix. The class overloads a number %of methods and math operators in a way that exploits the Kronecker product %structure accordingly. % %Among these methods/operators are: mtimes (*), times (.*) , tranpose (.') , %ctranpose (') , rdivide (./), ldivide (.\), mldivide (\), mrdivide (/), %inv, pinv, power, mpower, norm, sum, cond, eig, svd, abs, nnz, orth, chol, %lu, qr, cellfun, full, sparse, ... % %Some restrictions apply to these overloads. In particular, bi-operand math %operations involving two KronProd objects, e.g. M1*M2, typically require %the operands of each KronProd to be of compatible sizes. However, I find these %restrictions to be satisfied often in applications. %Consult "help KronProd/methodname" for more info on each method. %Optionally also, read krontest.m for demonstrations of their use. % % % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %EXAMPLE #1: % %A primary application of this class is to efficiently perform separable %tensorial operations, i.e., where a linear transform is applied to all %columns of an array, then all rows, and so on. % %The following example is of a separable transformation of a 3D array X %that transforms all of its columns via multiplication with a non-square matrix A, then %transforms all rows by multiplication with B, then finally transforms all %3rd-dimensional axes by multiplication with C. Two approaches to this are compared. %The first approach uses kron(). The second uses the KronProd class. Other operations %are also shown for illustration purposes. % %Notice the orders of magnitude reduction both in CPU time and in memory %consumption, using the KronProd object. % % % %DATA % m=25; n=15; p=40; % mm=16; nn=n; pp=10; % A=rand(mm,m); B=pi*eye(n); C=rand(pp,p); % s=4; % a scalar % X=rand(m,n,p); % % % % % %METHOD I: based on kron() % tic; % % Matrix = s*kron(C,kron(B,A)); % % y1 = Matrix*X(:); %The tensorial transformation % y1=reshape(y1,[mm,nn,pp]); % % z1 = Matrix.'*y1(:); % % w1 = Matrix.'\z1; % % % % toc; % %Elapsed time is 78.729007 seconds. % % % % % % %METHOD II: based on KronProd object % tic; % % Object = KronProd({A,pi,C},[1 2 3],[m,n,p],s); % % % %equivalent to s*kron(C,kron(B,A)) - see USAGE section of help % % y2 = Object*X; % % This operation could also have been implemented % % as y2=reshape( Object*X(:) , [mm,nn,pp]); % % % % z2 = Object.'*y1; % % w2 = Object.'\z1; % % % toc % % Elapsed time is 0.003958 seconds. % % % % % %%%ERROR ANALYSIS % PercentError=@(x,y) norm(x(:)-y(:),2)/norm(x(:),'inf')*100; % % PercentError(y1,y2), % = 3.0393e-012 % % PercentError(size(y1),size(y2)), % = 0 % % PercentError(z1,z2), % = 1.3017e-012 % PercentError(w1,w2), % = 4.3409e-011 % % % % % % % %%%MEMORY FOOTPRINT % % whos Matrix Object % % % % Name Size Bytes Class Attributes % % % % Matrix 2400x15000 288000000 double % % Object 2400x15000 8102 KronProd % % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %USAGE: % % M=KronProd(OPSET,OPINDS,DOMAINSIZES,SCALARCOEFF) % %in: % % % OPSET - a cell array containing the operands of the Kronecker product % as an unordered set. % % The order in which the operands will be Kronecker multiplied % is specified by the OPINDS argument (see below). Note that even if some % of the operands of the Kronecker product are identical to each other, % only one copy needs to be reside in OPSET. The OPINDS argument % can be used to indicate that the same member of OPSET is to be used % multiple times. Efficiency of various class methods is % increased this way. % % Note also that a scalar member of OPSET can be used to indicate % an operand that is multiple of the identity matrix, c*eye(N) % as opposed to storing a full-sized matrix of this form. % For example, OPSET={A,B,pi} means A,B,and pi*eye(N) will be % Kronecker multiplied with each other in some order. The value of N % here is determined by the DOMAINSIZES argument (see below). % % One restriction, however, is that each scalar member of % OPSET can only be used to represent a unique matrix. % Hence, if one desires the Kronecker product of pi*eye(N) % and pi*eye(M), with M~=N, then OPSET={pi,pi} must contain pi twice % and DOMAINSIZES=[M,N]. % % % % OPINDS - a vector of indices into OPSET. The order of the indices specifies in what % order (from right to left) the matrices/operators in OPSET will appear in the % Kronecker product. For example, OPSET={A,B,C} with OPINDS=[1 2 3] % would correpond to kron(C,kron(B,A)) or equivalently, a tensorial % transform which multiplies A with all the columns, then multiplies % B with all the rows, and finally C with all 3rd-dimensional axes of an % appropriately sized 3D array. % Alternatively, OPINDS=[1,1,2] would be equivalent to kron(B,kron(A,A)), % which applies A to both the rows and columns and B to the 3rd dimension. % % Default: the default value of OPINDS is 1:length(OPSET) % % % DOMAINSIZES - A vector giving the dimensions of the domain spaces of each operand. % The components DOMAINSIZE(i) must be set as follows % % DOMAINSIZES(i)=size( OPSET{OPINDS(i)} , 2) (Eq. 2) % % with the following exceptions: % % (1) If OPSET{OPINDS(i)}=c where c is a scalar acting % as a placeholder for c*eye(N), then one must set % DOMAINSIZES(i)=N. % % (2) For convenience, DOMAINSIZES(i) can be set to % NaN or Inf. This will be treated the same as if % it were set according to Eq. 2 for that particular % index i. % % (3) For convenience, if the entire vector DOMAINSIZES is % set to the empty matrix, to NaN, or to Inf then % this will be treated as if it were set according % to Eq. 2 for all i. % % The default value of DOMAINSIZES is []. % % % SCALARCOEFF - (optional) global scalar coefficient applied to the entire Kronecker % product. Default = +1 % % %out: % % M: The KronProd object. In addition to the various class % methods mentioned above, it has the following class properties % all get-accessible by dot indexing syntax: % % M.opset: The constructor input OPSET described above, but possibly % reordered and with unused operands discarded. % M.opinds: The constructor input OPINDS described above, but possibly % modified to account for reordering of OPSET. % % M.numops: same as length(opset) % M.eyemask: Boolean vector of length M.numops indicating which members of % M.opset are scalars standing in for matrices c*eye(N). % M.domset: Vector of length M.numops indicating % size(M.opset{i},2) with adjustment for members % of M.opset that are scalars standing in for % matrices c*eye(N). % % % M.scalarcumprods: A deprecated property. % % M.maxdim: The number of operands in the Kronecker product, length(opinds). % M.scalarcoeff: The scale factor 's' participating in the product. % It will change appropriately if M is % multiplied by a scalar. % M.scalarmask: Boolean vector of length M.maxdim, indicating which % tensorial dimensions use a scalar to represent a % multiple of an identity matrix, c*eye(N). % M.domainsizes: A vector such that M.domainsizes(i) is the dimension % of the domain space of the i-th operand. % Equivalently, if M is to be used as a % tensorial transform, then M.domainsizes is the size % of the array on which it will operate. % M.rangesizes = Analogous to M.domainsizes, this vector gives the % the dimensions of the array output from the tensorial % transform applied by M. properties opset={}; opinds=[]; numops=0; eyemask=[]; domainset=[]; maxdim=0; scalarcoeff=+1; scalarcumprods=1; scalarmask=[]; domainsizes=[]; rangesizes=[]; end methods function M=KronProd(opset,opinds,domainsizes,scalarcoeff) if ~nargin, return; end if ~iscell(opset), opset={opset}; end if nargin<2, opinds=1:length(opset); end if nargin<3, domainsizes=[]; end if nargin>=4, M.scalarcoeff=full(double(scalarcoeff)); end %%%Weed out unused operands - stray operands will impact upon efficiency [qq,ii,jj]=unique(opinds); opset=opset(qq); opinds=jj; %%%End weed M.opset=opset; M.opinds=opinds(:).'; M.numops=length(M.opset); M.maxdim=length(M.opinds); M.scalarcumprods=ones(size(M.opinds)); M.scalarmask=logical(row0s(M.maxdim)); %M.domainsizes=domainsizes(:).'; M.rangesizes=ones(size(M.domainsizes)); %%process new options for domainset %nColSet=cellfun('size',M.opset,2); nColSet=cellfun(@(x)size(x,2),M.opset); nColMap=nColSet(M.opinds); nonfinMap=~isfinite(domainsizes); domainsizes=domainsizes(:).'; if (numel(domainsizes)==1 && nonfinMap ) || isempty(domainsizes) domainsizes=nColMap; else domainsizes(nonfinMap)=nColMap(nonfinMap); end M.domainsizes=domainsizes; if length(M.domainsizes)~=M.maxdim, error('Inconsistency between domain sizes and operator index set.'); end cc=0; for ii=M.opinds cc=cc+1; sz=size(M.opset{ii}); if isnum(M.opset{ii}) M.rangesizes(cc)=M.domainsizes(cc); M.scalarmask(cc)=logical(1); M.scalarcumprods(cc)=M.opset{ii}; elseif sz(2)==M.domainsizes(cc) M.rangesizes(cc)=sz(1); else error(['DOMAINSIZE(' num2str(cc) ') not consistent with operand dimensions.']); end end M.scalarcumprods=cumprod(M.scalarcumprods); M.eyemask=false(1,M.numops); M.domainset= nColSet; if any(M.scalarmask), ScalarMap=[ M.opinds(M.scalarmask) ; M.domainsizes(M.scalarmask) ]; ScalarMap=unique(ScalarMap.','rows'); opinds_shrink=unique(ScalarMap(:,1)); if length(opinds_shrink)<length(ScalarMap(:,1)); error 'A scalar member of OPSET is being used to represent two or more differently sized matrices' else M.eyemask(ScalarMap(:,1))=true; M.domainset(ScalarMap(:,1))=ScalarMap(:,2).'; end end end function M=set.scalarcoeff(M,val) M.scalarcoeff=full(double(val)); end end end

Most modern dams are of two basic types: masonry (concrete) gravity designs and embankment (earthfill or rockfill) designs. Masonry dams are typically used to block streams running through relatively narrow gorges, as in mountainous terrain; although the structures may be very high, the total amount of material required for such sites is limited. Embankment dams are often preferred to control rivers and streams passing through broad, wide valleys where only a very long barrier, requiring a great volume of material, will suffice.

Raiders in good position with fourth overall pick
Scouts Inc. puts the Raiders on the clock, breaking down their offseason moves and looking at what questions still need answers.
As the NFL draft approaches, "SportsCenter" is putting every NFL team with a first-round pick "On the Clock," and Scouts Inc. will break down each team and look at what questions still need answering.
For a complete list of all of the Raiders' free agents and all their offseason signings, check out Scouts Inc.'s free-agent tracker. • Who they signed • Who they lost • Complete free-agent tracker |
Offensively, the Raiders have their quarterback of the future in JaMarcus Russell, but they must find a way to upgrade the offensive line, which has struggled to be consistent the past few seasons. Also, the Raiders must find a way to improve their kicking game with regard to coverage and return ability. Oakland was very aggressive in free agency, but it remains to be seen whether those moves will help the Raiders close the gap on the divisional champion Chargers.
Key Additions
Davis started his aggressive plan before the start of free agency by franchising CB Nnamdi Asomugha and re-signing DE Tommy Kelly and RB Justin Fargas. Asomugha has developed into one the game's best corners; Kelly is a versatile three-down player; and Fargas gained 1,009 yards to lead a rushing attack that was one of the few bright spots last season.Oakland's biggest offseason move was acquiring CB DeAngelo Hall in a trade from the Falcons for a second-round pick this season and a pick in 2009. The Raiders now have two big-time corners who can flourish on the backend when matching up in Ryan's defensive schemes. Another key signing was the addition of WR Javon Walker, who was released by the Broncos. If healthy, Walker gives Oakland a dynamic playmaker on the outside opposite Ronald Curry.
The Raiders also signed WR Drew Carter, OT Kwame Harris, C John Wade, FS Gibril Wilson, DT William Joseph and DE Kalimba Edwards. Wilson was their biggest defensive signing because he is an instinctive player who should stabilize an area of weakness.
The Pick (No. 4 overall): DE Chris Long, Virginia Todd McShay: The Raiders' dream scenario -- the son of Hall of Famer Howie Long -- slipping to the fourth pick is definitely a likely scenario. • Complete mock draft • Vote: Team needs |
Key Losses
The Raiders also took some hits in free agency with the losses of DE Chris Clemons, DE Tyler Brayton, DB Chris Carr, WR Jerry Porter and QB Josh McCown. Clemons is a very effective edge rusher in sub who finished the season with eight sacks. Brayton is a situational player who never played to the level of his first-round status. Carr was used mainly in sub and as a return specialist. Even though Porter was underused as an explosive downfield threat, he is still a productive front-line starting receiver in the NFL. Losing Porter could hinder this offense if Walker struggles to meet expectations.Plus, 13-year veteran DT Warren Sapp retired and OT Barry Sims was released. Sapp's loss shouldn't hurt Oakland too much, however, because he had been declining slowly his last few seasons.
Remaining Questions
The Raiders already have addressed many needs this offseason and are in a perfect position to get an impact player with the fourth pick overall. However, they have only five picks in the draft and must do a great job of addressing certain needs in later rounds. If they don't use their first pick to address the offensive line, they must do so with their later picks. Oakland also will look to add another quarterback and a young receiver with speed. Defensively, the Raiders need depth on the defensive line, another young outside linebacker and an explosive return specialist.Scouts Inc. watches games, breaks down film and studies football from all angles for ESPN.com.

By doing this, we will lessen commute times, save money and improve our quality of life. For too long, Maryland has sent more federal highway dollars to Washington than it has received.

... Well, one can hope that lag won't happen for a 1v1. 'Cause yeah, the more separate locations data has t' go to, the further lag is amplified. For example, a two-player connection between East coast and West coast functions better than a connection between central Canada, central US and one'a the coasts. Even if the furthest distance between players is less than the coast-to-coast connection, it'l still perform noticeably worse.

looking for a small stream sage or like brand 3wt. look in your closet and see what isn't getting enough attention. my sloppy casting will make it a happy camper. specs: looking for 8ft or less and 3 or 4 piece for travel. older is fine. reel to match is a plus. thanks.
Take a look at the Redington Tempt or Classic Trout, or of you like the old school feel, their old new rod is the fiberglass Butterstick.
Any interest in a Sage XP 8 ft 2 piece 3 wt rod? I would say that it is in good to very good condition, having been fished only about a dozen times. It is currently matched with a Hardy Flyweight reel, which could also be included in the sale. The reel has a GPX DT 3 F line. Let me know if you are interested firstname.lastname@example.com
I like you had been looking for a 3wt for small stream use. Decided I would try the cabelas three forks 7'6'' 3pc. caught it on sale one day,think I paid $30. reviews were mixed but for that price I thought I'd give it a try. If there was a problem I knew I could return it. I over lined it with a 4wt cuz that was all I had at the time but it cast fantastic. Caught several high mtn lake cutties12-14 ". I'll probably only use it a few times a year so it will be fine for me. The only drawback was that it didn't come with a tube so I had to make one but other than that I couldn't be happier.
On impulse I recently purchased a Ross Essence 3 wt, I believe it's an 8'6" rod, for a great deal from Sierra Trading. It's quite similar to another rod I have and I realized I didn't "need" two, so I plan(ned) to return it. It's an incredible rod, particularly for the money. Beautiful aluminum tube, rod sock, lifetime warranty, new, yours for what I paid for it, $100. Retail was something like $229, which as a bargain at that price given what the rod offers. This was Ross' top of the line rod. Here's what the manufacturer says about it: "The Essence FW fly rod series is a high performance rod that is easily one of the best values on the market today. In blind cast tests, the Essence FW regularly outperforms rods costing as much as $700.00! This 4-piece rod series has a beautiful deep green finish with nicely appointed silver accents. The reel seat is nickel-plated with a hand-turned solid maple insert, making each rod a unique, one of a kind creation. The handles are made from premium grade cork and each rod is shipped in a custom aluminum carrying case. The Essence FW proprietary R3 graphite design is a medium-fast action taper that will provide any level of angler with the accuracy and smooth presentation required in the most challenging fishing conditions. The Essence FW rods are incredibly sensitive when making short casts, but have the power to reach out to far away targets. These are premium fly rods in every way, but without the premium price! The Essence FW rod series comes with the following standard features: Ross proprietary R3 graphite design Medium-fast action rod taper, perfect for any casting style 4-piece design - great for travel Smooth casting, sensitive and precise Titanium oxide, super strong guides Rod piece alignment dots Nickel-plated reel seat with solid maple insert (3wt. - 6wt.), anodized aluminum reel seat (7wt. and up) Half wells handle (3wt. - 6wt.), full wells handle with fighting butt (6wt. and up) Aluminum rod case and protective microfiber rod sock Lifetime warranty " I plan to return it this weekend, so jump on it if you're interested.
I have a factory Sage SPL 383-3 in excellent+ shape. 8'3" 3 piece with a nice medium action. If interested PM and I will send pics. I also have several 3wt reels and lines we could discuss to go along with the rod. Please PM if you are interested.
Nedak, a long time ago I built a little 4-piece rod on a St. Croix blank. It's seven feet long, medium action, for 3/4 lines. Sliding band/wood reel seat, black guides, a handsewn bag and pvc tube that fits neatly in a backpack. Some use, but completely sound. I haven't backpacked much in recent decades, and use other rods when I do. I'm willing to sell it for $70, shipping included. Contact me for purchase or questions. -Nooksack Mac
I suggest OP hold out for a used zxl, either the 376 (3wt) or 280 (2wt, but more like a 3wt), if he can find one.
Hmmm...I have a really nice barely used Winston GVX 3wt 7'9" 5 piece...not sure I want to part with it. But really I don't have much use for it in my quiver....PM me if this rod would be of interest to you. I also have a really sweet Lamson reel that goes with it. Anyway, PM if you are interested. Cheers and tight lines.
Thomas and Thomas LPS 7'5" 2 piece 3wt. custom built by Grand River Rods of Boulder Co. with a Waterworks Purist 1 reel(3 wt. Orvis gen 3 floater) with spare spool(Orvis streamer stripper).Rod and reel in new condition(used but lightly and well taken care of).Realize you said 3 or 4 piece but this rod is extra ordinary.Sweetest set up you will find.I just don't get to use it since moving to Cape Cod. $ 500.00 shipped. (second from the right...more pic's if interested)
I have a Sage SLT 376-4, 7' 6", 3wt custom built rod with a Sage 3200 click reel that I will sell for $350. The rod is nicely built and in very good condition, except for dirty cork - good mojo! Includes Sage rod sack and generic cordura covered tube. Reel is in excellent condition and includes WF4F line and backing, along with Sage neoprene pouch. Thanks, Ted
I've got a 6 piece 8' 3wt Redington CT in excellent condition. This is the older model CT and comes with blank warranty card. I'll do $80 shipped.

Thanks for offers. Close thread. Landed on an llbean pocket water outfit. Through some other transactions found llbean warranty to be top notch. Hope I don't have to invoke it but knowing my habits a broken tip is probably in my future.

The location was nice, close to white house and the staff were friendly.
The room had bedbugs and I had to go to a doctors and get treated. The hotel did nothing about it! Also extremely noisy at night.
The staff was so friendly and my room was beautiful. The check in was legit 30 sec and they were running to door to make sure I didn't have to open it myself. I had to leave early due to inclement weather and they really ensured that I got my money back for the night I could not stay.
The only thing was when the shower was on the water still came out of faucet but I am sure they could fix it, I'm not hard to please. the water was still hot. Also parking was 35 a night but it's like that everywhere.
Fantastic location, easy walk to all the main attractions and conveniently close to the metro. Large room with comfortable bed and sitting area.
Noise and sirens from the road.
Honestly, one of our best hotel stays ever. We travel in the US and internationally several times a year...we probably stay in hotels around 20-ish nights per year. The Quincy topped our list! Clean, beautiful, huge rooms, friendly staff, convenient parking ($35/night and they let us leave car there the next day until 6pm!), great location very near farragut north metro and dupont circle, perfect wifi and cable, keurig coffee machine, free coffee/tea in lobby...
Nothing. Really could not think of a thing to change.
Our room was very spacious and clean and the bed was super comfy.
good location, polite staff, speedy wi fi
no wardrobe, weather was very cold and room temperature was also low, tv remote control was not working...
Loved the modern look and size of room super comfy bed and couch. Nice to have a drop bar in the basement. Love the staff
Walls are super thin can hear next room all to well. Lobby is so small and no discreet access to your room (not for single people wanting discretion)
10 Minutes from the White House and close to the mall with all memorials. Nice corner bakery in front with a very good Breakfast!
Monday 5am empting of trash container behind the hotel...took 1 hour!
Room/suite is spacious, well outfitted, quiet, comfortable.
The obvious connection to their public WiFi was unsecured. Needed assistance with a more tortuous method of securing their WiFi.
I loved the location, it was really close to the metro. The room was huge and I really wasn't expecting that. I liked the free wifi, mini fridge, and all of the amenities.
The staff was friendly but their service wasn't great. We had to request house keeping, our room didn't have heat until we notified the front desk. I didn't like the view which faced an office building, the bathroom could have been updated more and I didn't like the adjoining door connecting to another hotel room. Overall, it felt like a really nice apartment but not a luxurious hotel.
The staff were extremely helpful in assisting us with information,especially the location of restaurants participating in restaurant week, maps & the circulator bus. Quiet comfy room.
Would have liked a few plates & cutlery.
I liked everything about this hotel.Kelsey, Tyler, Many, Doug & Brian were extremely helpful, attentive to needs and courteous. Room was perfect. This is where I'm staying on any future trips.
Attractive and convenient hotel.
The room we received through booking.com was not as nice as when we booked through the hotel. Bathroom fixtures were in disrepair, we were right by elevator, and street noise was awful.
Good size room, comfortable bed. Very friendly staff. Within easy walking distance of Red Metro Line (Union Station) and Blue/Orange/Silver (Dulles, National) Lines stations.
Had no restaurant, and nearby breakfast options were underwhelming.
The excellent staff, the emails sent prior to arrival
Well, this is downtown so a little noisy but OK overall.
friendly staff, lots of good restaurants around this hotel, quite good location for business travel. I am quite satisfied with the room space: sufficient to two travel partners.
too large nosie made by the fridge. I have to turn off it. The room will not be cleaned everyday, I have to ask for cleaning.
It is a beautiful hotel. Perfect location. Very comfortable.
The service from staff is amazing. There are also lots of great restaurants and shopping in the area.
The Irish restaurant next store is not very good. The fish and chips were underdone and soggy.
Excellent hotel. The room was spacious and very comfortable bed. The staff were very friendly and helpful - Manny in particular. Great to have the pub connected to the hotel. Excellent location. I'd definitely return.
Big room Super friendly staff Huge comfortable bed Close to Metro
Rooms at front noisy as they are straight on L Street
Location was good, bed was excellent, staff were obliging
Outside noise was excessive
All the staff were very helpful. Especially Manny the doorman, helping us with local places to go for dinners and always with a smile and joke. Our first visit to DC and the Quincy was a great place to stay for us.

'Mad Men,' 'Game of Thrones': The No-Spoiler Guide to Spoilers
Sure, we mock Matt Weiner for his overprotectiveness, but HBO is the latest to ask too much of critics as "Game of Thrones" season four approaches.
Every year Mad Men creator Matt Weiner gets mocked by critics for his overprotective (sometimes outlandish) pleas that we omit certain details from our reviews. He considers them spoilers. Of course, everyone considers everything a spoiler these days, so it's hard to fault a showrunner known for being obsessive about everything for continuing that habit when dealing with the press. Were Mad Men lousy, we wouldn't be having this discussion. But it's still one of the best shows on television, so it matters.
And I like a showrunner who cares. I don't always follow Weiner's orders -- suggestions? -- but the Empire still stands, and we still talk. With season seven just around the corner, AMC sent out its much-anticipated mailer (ah, for the days when critics got more than one episode), and Weiner's demands were again up for debate as to how far they went. My take? Far, far less onerous than last year. And none that I'm likely to break on purpose.
PHOTOS: 'Mad Men' Season 7: Sterling Cooper & Partners Suit Up and Take Off
But before Weiner's demands showed up, HBO completely one-upped him (and AMC) by suggesting to critics, in a screener mailing of Game Of Thrones, that they adhere to this: "Please do not reveal any major plot points in advance, or point to any one episode as 'a big one.'"
Oh, dear. Really?
We are talking about a series based on books that have been in circulation for some time now. Essentially, the books are spoilers. And have been for years. Which means that whatever malleable "spoiler rules" we all collectively don't agree to would have been pointless anyway. Besides, I wonder whether telling people that, say, the second of three episodes sent to us is "a big one" will completely and utterly ruin their lives. Well, actually I don't wonder that at all. I know it won't. Because what does "a big one" mean when it pertains to episodes anyway? There are only 10 Game of Thrones episodes a season instead of the 13 that I want and demand, so for me all 10 are big.
But I digress. Pretend you're reading my Game of Thrones fourth season review, and I tell you that the third episode is "a big one." Will you piss and moan and weep and rage? Or will you say, "Well, that's kind of vague, but sounds exciting. I can't wait."
STORY: 'The Walking Dead' -- How Sunday's Episode Showed Its Greatness
Maybe I'll mess with HBO by saying that all three of the advanced episodes they sent -- do you hear that, Weiner and AMC? Three episodes! -- are all big ones. Or that one is big, another is huge and the third one is enormous.
I bring up this tiny little issue because we've reached critical mass on spoiler worries. Or we were already at full and sustained critical mass for several years, and this tiny little bit of nonsense from HBO explodes everything. In the case of both Game of Thrones and Mad Men, what's lost here is how difficult it already is to write a review of what's to come, what's changing or what's of merit in the new season when critics are already walking on eggshells about not ruining the experience for their readers. (Nobody willingly wants to spoil anything on a great TV series that becomes, in many ways, our shared cultural experience.)
Weiner's list of spoilery notions -- there are four of them, and one could really be broken into multiples -- makes specificity very difficult. I don't take HBO's worries about revealing which episode is "a big one" very seriously, so I'm not worried there. Maybe the bigger issue here is that, at least in my world, there aren't many series that are so brilliant as to merit a review before every season. You don't see many critics reviewing Grey's Anatomy anymore for this very reason. The returning series that I believe are still creating art are also series I would never want to ruin for fans -- Game of Thrones and Mad Men being two perfect examples. So, how to celebrate what they've conceived and executed for this next season (or at least the beginning of it) while also not revealing a spoiler? Hell, we're already to the point in Our Spoiled World where you pretty much have to tell people there are no spoilers in your story, or they won't even bother to read it.
VIDEO: 'Mad Men' Season 7 Trailer: 'It's All Up in the Air'
Spoiler worries: Killing criticism.
But I also wouldn't want to ignore these returning gems, either. Some of them -- like FX's The Americans, which is superb -- really need new people to discover them. As a critic, you want to trumpet a top-tier series if its maintaining its greatness. Inevitably, reviews of returning series lack the depth of the actual criticism you might have found when they first appeared. Not necessarily something to wail about, but still worrisome. So pardon me if I get a little stabby when you ask me not to say there's a big episode coming up.
Don't steal our vagueness, HBO. At this point, it's all we have.

Comments about Blanco Diamond Silgranit II Drop-In Kitchen Sink - Single Bowl:
After reading many good reviews I bought the Blanco Silgranit II single bowl (anthracite). It is a nice looking sink. Basically I'm happy with the sink. If I had it to do over again, I would get the 60/40 split. The single bowl seemed like it would be good to wash a roaster or similar large items, which I may do a few times a year. But every time I rinse off any item, I'm having to flush out the whole large bowl, whereas with the 60/40, I would work mostly in the smaller bowl, and the other would remain clean and dry most of the time. I do use a dish pan to wash hand-washed dishes, so no problem there. Also, I do not have soft water so need to wipe the sink dry to avoid hard-water spots. Again, no complaint about the quality or looks of the sink. I just didn't make the best choice for me. I now think I might be more suited to the 60/40, maybe in biscotti color.
