Top lefty Fried happy at new home
December, 19, 2011
By Christopher Crawford | ESPN.com
Courtesy of Matt LaCour/Harvard-WestlakeAfter Montclair Prep (Van Nuys, Calif.) cut its athletic program, senior lefty Max Fried transferred to Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.), where he'll team with right-hander Lucas Giolito to form the nation's top pitching tandem
Over the last few seasons, there have been plenty of elite prep baseball prospects living in close proximity to each other. Heck, last year, Dylan Bundy of Owasso (Okla.) and Archie Bradley of Broken Arrow (Okla.) competed against each other for both a state championship and to see who would be the first prep pitcher off the board.
Next year, you won't have to venture any farther than Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.) to see arguably the two top pitchers in high school in senior right-hander Lucas Giolito and senior left-hander Max Fried, who will be high school teammates for the first time this upcoming season.
The 6-foot-4 Fried was one of the top hurlers in the Golden State at Montclair Prep (Van Nuys, Calif.), but he was forced to transfer after his school decided to discontinue all its sports last summer.
"It was really hard on me," said Fried. "But coach LaCour, Lucas and the teammates have helped make that transition much easier."
"Max is a great kid who has made a seamless transition to us" Harvard-Westlake head coach Matthew LaCour said. "He's a great athlete and his work ethic is off the charts. You wouldn't even be able to tell he hasn't been here the whole time when he interacts with the boys. He's really blended into the fabric of our team"
This summer, Fried participated in the Perfect Game All-American Classic and at the Area Code Baseball Games.
"That was probably my favorite event of the summer," Fried said of ACG. "It taught me how to stay composed on the mound, not to try to do too much and just relax."
As for next year, the goal for Fried is simple -- win sectionals and then take his talents -- along with Giolito -- to UCLA.
"Staying close to home was important," Fried said on picking the Bruins. "But mostly it was the comfort level I felt with (UCLA) coach Savage, and it's where I felt I would progress the most as a pitcher."
As for whether or not the Giolito's commitment to the school had anything to do with his decision, Fried said the decision was "purely coincidental, but it has made the two of us closer."
One thing that could keep the 6-foot-4 lefty from becoming a Bruin, however, is the draft, for which he's a potential first-round pick.
"He was 89-95 when I last saw him, with a good curveball and flashed a change," ESPN.com senior baseball writer Keith Law remarked on Fried. "He has a good above 3/4 slot, although the arm action was a little long and he doesn't make enough use of his height, yet."
Fried says the draft isn't on his mind at all right now, as college is extremely important to him and the event is still six months away.
If you get the impression that Fried is a team-oriented guy, you'd be correct. In fact, he didn't mention a single individual statistic when asked about what his goals for the upcoming season.
"He's a guy who leads both by example and vocally," Giolito said about his teammate. "He's become my best friend, and I'm so excited to play baseball with him next year and the next three years in college, as well."
Harvard-Westlake – and Pac-12 – opponents would be wise to take warning.

RICK SMITH: Wintry conditions rough on West Texans
Tuesday, 2:38 a.m. — The first of many cellphone alerts wakes me. Nixle, a free alert service, is trying to save our lives.
"Use caution if needing to travel this morning," the Nixle alert reads. "ALL roads are iced over. Only travel if necessary."
2:40 a.m. — I roll over and try to go back to sleep, but when I do I dream of the dreaded drive from home to the newspaper.
Like a lot of West Texans, I'm a terrible driver in snow or ice. I would rather drive to El Paso and back on a summer day than the mile or so to the office in wintry weather. Nixle gives us a heads up on what to expect.
And the warnings keep coming.
7:33 a.m.— "Do not drive this morning unless ABSOLUTELY necessary."
8:07 a.m.— "Ice accumulating, road conditions worsening. Avoid all travel if possible. Houston Harte Expressway and Loop 306 at all costs."
As the icy weather takes its toll on drivers the alerts become stronger.
8:50 a.m.— "DO NOT TRAVEL."
9:02 a.m.— "DO NOT DRIVE."
There's something very déjà vu about this winter storm. I think back on the ice storm we had just before Christmas at Old Fort Concho. I particularly remember slipping and sliding at 10 mph while driving to work. I am not looking forward to a repeat performance.
Soon after, one of my editors calls. She says a reporter had a wreck on the way to work. They're declaring a "work at home day."
I thank her, hang up, do a victory dance, put on comfy old clothes, get a cup of coffee, settle into my favorite chair and turn on the computer.
11:23 a.m. — I try to ignore the final Nixle warning: "MULTIPLE FALL VICTIMS. REMEMBER WALKWAYS, PORCHES, STEPS WILL BE ICY AND SLICK."
"What idiot doesn't know not to step on ice?" I think to myself.
11:30 a.m. — I take a break and escort our newest puppy outside to do her business. Paying more attention to her than my feet, I slip on an ice-covered step and fall. I'm thankful I didn't land on the pup. Doubly thankful my fall was cushioned by a well-padded part of my lower body.
11:45 a.m. — Sitting by a window with a heating pad and ice bag, I watch a mail truck pull up to the curb. I haven't seen another vehicle come down the street all morning. The postal carrier makes driving on ice-covered streets and walking on frozen sidewalks look easy. I'll bet our mail carrier never slipped on a frozen sidewalk while walking a letter-sized dog.
1 p.m. — Trapped in the house by the weather, I'm getting cabin fever. West Texans may complain about the heat, but we hate the cold. We would pick a 100-degree day over a 10-degree one every time.
1:30 p.m. — The temperature's approaching 33 degrees, according to my thermometer. Surely the sound of melted ice dripping from the roof starts soon.
2 p.m. — I'm still waiting. As part of my working at home duty, I'm calling different organizations to see how they're faring on this cold, cold day. No one answers my calls.
Can it be that the entire city is working from home?
2:30 p.m. — I can't stand it any longer. I have to get out of the house. I open a door and slowly stick my foot onto the porch. No ice! I go down the steps! No ice! I go out to my van. Lots of ice. Most of it on the windshield.
2:45 p.m. — The short drive to work is no problem on clear roads. The traffic moves fast and easy on Beauregard Avenue. There's not a chunk of ice to be seen.
4 p.m. — The National Weather Service forecasts freezing fog after midnight. Does that sound like a horror movie to you, too?
Weather forecasters predict the week gets better Wednesday through Monday, with highs ranging from 59 to 79 and not a frozen fog to be found.
Stay warm. Winter's almost over. But beware of small dogs on ice.

I have a remington bdl 270 and I'm looking to put up to 400 bucks in a new scope. The farthest I would ever shoot would be under 300, and I'd like a scope that absorbs alot of light. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

jwhirl - For a hunting scope in this range, I would suggest something with a fairly wide adjustable range, something like 3 x 9. The higher the power of the magnification, the smaller the field of view that you can see through the scope is going to become. So, if you got some high power scope, cranked it up to a high setting and looked for a target at 100 yards, you would be searching all over the place for it, because your field of view would be so small. The down side to a limited magnification scope is that you can't "zoom in" on a target and get pin point to what you are looking to hit. With a paper punching rifle, this is more critical, with a hunting rifle, not so much. Minute of Deer/Elk is a BIG target, so a limited power scope would treat you right. A good low power will allow a great field of view at close targets and a mid level higher power will allow a better picture image without compromising the area you can search with the glass. 3 x 9 or so would be my recommendation with 4.5 x 14 being about the highest I could conceivably recommend on a true, carry into the brush hunting rifle. As for brands - I personally like Leupold, but the Bushnell Elite line is a really good scope as well. There are a TON of opinions on glass makers out there, so I am sure you will get plenty of recommendations. The BEST advice I can give you is this: Go to the store and look through a few of them. they have mock stocks in most quality stores that you can "mount up" a couple of scopes and compare the clarity. This is important. When it comes to glass, you really do get what you pay for... JD
JD, thanks for the insight, you've made some really good points that i'm going to have to ponder...looks like i'm gonna have to let the wife know i may have to spend and entire day at the gun shop, dang, i really wish i could stay home and help her clean...
Anytime my friend - I am bumping this back up. Stalkingbear and Cpttango should be by here shortly to add some glass makers to the list. JD
I'm a big fan of Nikon, and have had great experiences with their products. Currently I have a Nikon Prostaff 3x-9x BDC on my R700 Tactical. It will eventually get moved to my Marlin .270, and I'll put another Nikon with Mil-Dots on the Remmy.
I have a Nikon on the way to my house as we speak. It is for my 223 varmint rifle and I did a bad bad thing, I traded a Leupold for it. You can get very good optics but not a lot of extras in the $400 to $600 price range. My 308 wears a Bushnell elite 4200 6-24x40mm (Bench gun). My 223 had a Leupold vx-II 6-18x40mm The leupold is bright and clear as is the bushnell. I have looked threw Nikons and they are just as good or better than both the vx-II line and the elite 4200 line. Don't forget Weaver many have and still do knock weaver scopes but they produce a high quality scope that is not only good but one of the best scopes in the price range you are looking at. Power and size are both relitive to what you are doing. I pack a 13# varmint rifle on ground hog hunts So scope sizer makes little differance to me. My 308 gets packed from the car to the bench so scope size and weight really doesn't matter to me. You say you want a lot of light, well contrary to what many believe the 1" tube is the hindrance in the light transmission of scope with 42mm or larger objectives (Front lens). If you want the most light with a 44 or 50mm or even 56mm objective you want a 30mm tube. 1"= 25mm so your gaining 5mm in diameter. Another thing that helps light transmission just as much as tube size and objective size is coating. the better the coating the better the light transmission is going to be. You can find a few 30mm tubes in the $400 to $600 range but they are right at the top end of that range. Here are the scopes i think you should look into. Weaver Leupold VX-II not rifleman or VX-1 line they both SUCK. Bushnell elite 3200 and 4200 Burris Full Field. Nikon monarch and pro staff and buckmark. If you want to same some money for ammo look at Mueller optics.
Two of my M1A's are topped with Burris Fullfield TAC30 scopes and they have performed quite well. I haven't had any problem with them holding zero and don't see any blurring with them.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Patients at a New Hampshire hospital who were infected with hepatitis C by a traveling medical technician with a drug problem are pleased with his guilty plea but are still pushing to hold others accountable.
David Kwiatkowski, 34, pleaded guilty last week to 16 federal drug charges under an agreement that calls for him to spend 30 to 40 years in prison. He admitted stealing painkiller syringes from hospitals where he worked and replacing them with saline-filled syringes tainted with his blood.
Before he was hired at Exeter Hospital in New Hampshire in 2011, Kwiatkowski worked as a cardiac technologist in 18 hospitals in seven states, moving from job to job despite being fired at least four times over allegations of drug use and theft.
"Everyone's been pointing at Kwiatkowski, and to some extent they should, but what Exeter Hospital is trying to do is hide behind Kwiatkowski and point the finger at him," said attorney Mark Abramson, who represents 12 patients suing the hospital and others. "That does not absolve them of their responsibility, because no matter how bad of a jerk Kwiatkowski is, the truth of the matter is, it never should've gotten to this point."
Forty-six people in four states have been diagnosed with the same strain of hepatitis C Kwiatkowski carries. Thirty-two patients were infected in New Hampshire, seven in Maryland, six in Kansas and one in Pennsylvania. Kwiatkowski also worked in Michigan, New York, Arizona and Georgia.
Most of the New Hampshire patients are suing Exeter, the national accreditation organization for radiological technicians and two of the staffing agencies that employed Kwiatkowski. Six cases have been settled in Rockingham County Superior Court, and the remaining 23 are tentatively set to go to trial starting in November 2014, according to the hospital's lawyer, William Dailey.
"The civil litigation is moving along as we anticipated, and we're hopeful that more matters can be resolved as time passes," he said.
The hospital has strongly denied allegations that it ignored employee concerns about Kwiatkowski's alleged drug use, saying he always offered plausible explanations for his appearance and behavior.

Related letter: Glycemic Control Is an Important Consideration in Diabetes Care
Because sugar was historically the defining feature of diabetes mellitus (meaning "excess urination of honey"), treatment focused primarily on lowering blood glucose levels until recently. However, based on high-quality evidence from meta-analyses, glucose control should no longer be the main focus of treatment. A new approach to the care of adults with type 2 diabetes emphasizes proven interventions that improve duration and quality of life.
Bolstering data from the University Group Diabetes Program published in 1970,1 four more recent studies have shown that intensive treatment aimed at lowering blood glucose levels neither affects mortality nor decreases complications of type 2 diabetes.2-5 In contrast, interventions that are especially effective at extending life in these patients include smoking cessation,6 blood pressure control, and reduction of lipid levels.5 The United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study also showed that treatment with metformin (Glucophage) decreases mortality, regardless of its effect on blood glucose or A1C levels.7 These findings are reflected in new guidelines from the American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes.8
An easy way to illustrate this new approach to patients is by "lending a hand" (Figure 1).4,5,7,9–14 From thumb to little finger, each digit on an open hand portrays one intervention in decreasing order of benefit: smoking cessation (thumb), blood pressure control (index finger), metformin therapy (middle finger), lipid reduction (ring finger), and glycemic control (little finger).5,7,14–16

So what do you all think about wheeling at strawberry pass? I was thinking of the 13th, 20th or the 27th. We can camp too if people want too. Ill start a pole and then once we get a date decided I will start another thread. You can choose multiple dates too if you're available for more than one!
So it looks like the 13th is the prevailing date so far. We have Cram, Mikey and maybe Shaw. I will start a new thread in a few days.

within the light, i see the dark,
within the dark, i see the fire,
within the fire, i see my death.
i feel the flames dance upon my skin,
leaving a faint scent of roses behind,
it does not burn,
instead leaves a mark of intricate peacocks, peonies, and hibiscuses.
it does not come off,
my skin is permanently marked.
i look up into your eyes,
asking why, why would you do this to me?
your visual caress breaks through the icy
glare that showed me death.
i close my eyes,
falling back unto the rain covered grass.
thunder and lightning fight over me,
who loves me best.
i cannot choose which path to take,
into the darkened flames,
or into the warm, welcoming light.
i choose the flames,
meeting you at death's door.
thunder says go on,
lightning says that in choosing death,
i have no courage or strength.
you say nothing to influence me,
you just stand there with the animal look of hunger.
your mind is barricaded,
like a corralled stallion,
begging to be free.
my nostrils flare at the love scents in the air,
heartsease, rose petals, chamomile, and rosemary,
bone of the earth, yemonja root, lodestone, raw amber,
and rose quartz in the shape of a heart.
fire now surrounds me.
fear taking over all other senses,
until i see you coming through the flames.
you reach out your hand,
the fire fading swiftly.
i stay kneeling on the grass,
though my hand reaches out to take yours.
our fingers barely touch,
lightning fills my body,
my mind conversing with yours.
you collapse with your arms around me.
no more am i lost,
but found by you,

Here's some happy news for chocolate lovers: A bar of the sweet treat can slash your risk of heart disease and stroke by 39 per cent, according to an expert.
Dr. Brian Buijsse believes a 50g treat has the greatest effect, reports The Sun.
To reach the conclusion, Buijsse studied nearly 30,000 people aged 35 to 65 in Germany. His eight-year research found that even one small square can help. But if it was increased by 6g, there were 85 fewer heart attacks and strokes per 10,000 people. Dark chocolate containing 70 per cent cocoa is considered best.
Dr. Buijsse said, "Given the promising health effects of cocoa, it is tempting to indulge in more chocolate."
"But we should make sure we are eating as part of a healthy and balanced diet." Dr. Buijsse added.
"Small amounts of chocolate may help to prevent heart disease, but only if it replaces other energy-dense food - such as snacks - in order to keep body weight stable." Dr. Buijsse said.

4.5 Great trilogy DaniRo | 12/06/2013 | See all DaniRo's reviews (1) Once I've started reading this book I couldn't let it down. Have red all 3 books in one week. Addictive!
4.5 False advertising bullpup050 | 12/09/2012 | See all bullpup050's reviews (1) Sold as a box set unfortunately its a piece of printed paper wrapped around the books and shrink wrapped making it look as tho its in a box - unfortunately it lets it down a massive let down :( . The books themselves are very good
4.5 Amazing! cleo91 | 28/06/2012 | See all cleo91's reviews (1) Everyone needs to read this book, but not everyone should. The storyline and the writing is amazing, a total masterpiece! Except that it is also a total psychological trip into the extent human beings will go for power. Also, it is just a piece of paper around the books, but that didn't bother me as much as others apparently. If you don't get too freaked out by weird stuff, buy these books and read them! If you do, maybe just buy the first and go from there =) All in all, a perfect read with plenty of thoughts to be had after.
4.5 Brilliant...! chiweets | 11/04/2012 | See all chiweets's reviews (1) This trilogy is amazing! Although I am not a regular 'reader' - I have been unable to put the books down since they arrived. Captivated my imagination from the word go.One note regarding the item however - the item description mentions 'box set' (and the image implies this also) however the set I received did not come in an actual 'box'. There was a paper covering (a sheet of paper with the hunger games logo) wrapped around the books within the polythene packing... Not quite a 'box set' - a little misleading?
4.5 unbelievably good! bigcansbint | 06/02/2012 | See all bigcansbint's reviews (26) just finished reading all three of these books, which are totally brilliant and I would recommend them to everyone, but I can't believe people are complaining about them not being hard back etc. Have they not heard that saying; never judge a book by it's cover?
4.5 Amazing JodieAsh | 15/01/2012 | See all JodieAsh's reviews (1) One of the best trilogys I have ever read, I couldn't put these books down; I highly recommend these books to everyone they blew me away!
4.5 Amazing mfu1106 | 13/01/2012 | See all mfu1106's reviews (27) Recieved this box set for Christmas. Very nicely presented and the books are absolutely incredible! I raced through them, they are so captivating.
4.5 Not hardback, nor a BOX set KagiBunshin | 12/12/2011 | See all KagiBunshin's reviews (1) Advertised as hardback, they're not. They're paperback. It isn't a boxset either, they have a piece of paper covering them that makes it look like a boxset.
4.5 Amazing Books but .. Hanarero | 11/12/2011 | See all Hanarero's reviews (1) These books are good. Esp. the first volume.My only but very big complain about this box set is that Stephenie Meyer's name is all over on the cover. It's almost as big as the author's name. I normally don't mind recommendations from other authors but to put her name on the side just ticks me.
4.5 They are not hardback Javier93 | 08/12/2011 | See all Javier93's reviews (1) The books are great, but they are paperback, exactly as the normal version, but with a black paper cover that will look like a box on the pictures, but wich is not.

I hear you IRA i'm finding it very hard to put the indi rod down. I fish a lot more with dry lines and long leaders for shallow under the surface fishing on the west side then the east. but it's hard to beat the presentation of the indicator, nymph, chiro set-up.
Other than that I can actually fish down to 12' or 15' depths in a lake with my clear intermediate if I'm patient enough to wait for a couple of minutes or so, and then s-l-o-w-l-y (really slowly) troll my fly at that depth (try that with a long leader off a floater), there are other differences in using these lines. I don't usually fish dries when using my intermediate, although one can actually apply flotant to this line and make that work. When using a floater to strip something like Reversed Spiders in the surface film for searun cutts that are coming to the top to hit my fly, I find that sometimes there is enough small debris floating on the surface that it keeps fouling my hook and wrecking my presentation (common in the pools near the head of tidewater in my local tidal creeks, as the incoming tide moves in a lot of junk), so I want to get slightly below this. I'll use my clear intermediate, which will let me get my line under the surface debris and where I can still see my reversed spider and see the fish take it. The intermediate line also lets me fish my fly deeper if I want, just by letting it sink a bit before retrieving. When paddling through the estuary and up a tidal creek, I am often trolling a streamer or baitfish pattern. This works better for me if I'm using an intermediate line and a long leader, as I often paddle (and troll) at cruising speed to make time. A floating line would result in my streamer dragging in the surface film where it will pick up debris. I suppose that if the surface were clean of debris, I could drag a slider or baitfish pattern across the surface OK, but that is rarely the case if I'm paddling on an incoming tide. Might work on the outgoing tide, as there are areas with clean surface water that magically appear when the falling tide moves the debris back out. When trolling back out, I'll often troll with a long leader and my floating line, as that is often just before or during the low tide, and I'm usually moving with the current in shallower water over some sort of bottom structure. Quite often all the surface debris is gone at this time. Keeps me from snagging up the bottom when moving fast in the same direction as the current. I hate to see my backing when I snag up!
I take it you don't have an intermediate? The biggest advantage for me, fishing mostly in the Basin lakes, is the ability to keep a tight line on windy days that would blow a giant belly into a floater. And on calm days, retrieving a floater causes a big disturbance on the surface that puts down fish. Intermediate lines cast better in the wind than floaters (smaller diameter) and allow you to get downright surgical in your exploration of the water column (mine has a 1" per second sink rate). Keep your bug unweighted and retrieve right away if you want to stay shallow. Count down a bit and add a weighted bug to explore down to 10'.
One other thing to consider is that not all intermediate lines are the same. What I've observed is even though two different lines might have the same 1" per sec sink rate, one will sink faster then the other. This can hold true even with the same line. I had one Cortland clear camo that sank nice and slow and another that sank like a rock. Years ago SA made a very slow sinking intermediate sink line. It was a turquoise color. I ended up dying my green because I didn't like the color. When I first bought it, I could have sworn it was mis-labeled and was actually a floater. It would float on the surface for a bit before it would start sinking. It took probably a good minute for it to sink a foot. It was a super effect line for when fish were taking bugs just below the surface film. It outshined the clear camo intermediate by a far distance in those situations. I wish I could find another line line that fished like that.
Good point Brian, I've also found different intermediate lines sink at different rates. I sometimes wish my 40+ int. sank a little bet slower. My friend has a Rio hover and I think that might be just the ticket in situations like you mentioned. I'd like to try one out.
The slowest sinking intermediates that I've tried are the Rio Hover and Cortland's 444 "ice blue" intermediate line that was mostly replaced years ago by the clear camo. I've heard good things about Airflo's sixth sense slow intermediate lines but haven't fished one.
Yesterday, at the lake I fished, all ya needed was a clear intermediate line and the right fly. That could have been any fly, for all I knew, because I never had to change up. I bit off my searun cutthroat streamer, and tied on a lake bugger that a little voice inside my head told me might work. It was an impromptu concoction devised after a couple of beers. Size 8. Gold beadhead, etc (you know, the mandatory black marabou tail, some sparkle chenille and black saddle hackle). I am now calling that thing the "Narwhalsawzall Stocker Clocker," and probably due to no fault of its design. Dang! I just cast out and stripped out some more line until I had about 40' behind my U-12, then took a couple of light strokes of my paddle and with my line tight, just did a very slow wind troll in the light breeze, sometimes setting my rod down and taking an occasional stroke before picking up my rod again and getting ready for the grab. Had several grabs while I was reaching for the paddle or taking a stoke. I fished mainly in 10' to 15' depths, but picked up a couple of fatties working the submerged logs against the far shoreline in about 7' or 8', where I could see the logs on the bottom. There were a few rise rings, and what looked like a small midge hatch going off at 5pm when I was paddling back to the ramp. I picked up fish trolling over where I saw the rise rings, but those hookups may have been coincidental. Although I did some casting and retrieving, and that worked as well as the trolling, my arm protested, so I mainly trolled. Was using the used 9' Fenwick boron rod I picked up last Fall. The writing on the blank had worn off, so there was no indication of the weight class on the rod. Guy who sold it to me said he thought it might be a 7 wt. After yesterday, I think its a 5 wt, since it felt overlined with my 6 wt Cortland Clear Camo. Rod's action is full flex, almost noodly, but with great damping. Seems like an excellent streamer trolling rod. Dang! Must have been the building high pressure and pleasant conditions, combined with mass quantities of recently stocked hungry trout that had spread out all over the lake. Whatever, but I enjoyed nonstop action from 2pm til just after 5pm when i had to reel in because the trout would not let me troll back to the ramp! I released a good two dozen before I lost count, and had at least half as many more toss the hook near my boat. I probably connected with 40 trout during the course of 3 hours. Oh yes! "Non-stop action" because these feisty demons would not come willingly nor easily to the net! Saw only one other angler out on the lake, and he may have been having similar success. When he rowed within shouting distance, I mentioned that it seemed like there were a lot of hungry trout around. He replied that he just released about a dozen over where he had just been fishing. Those trout were uneducated and hungry. I had tied my fly on some 8.5# 3x with a non-slip mono loop, and that didn't even slow 'em down. I did my best to school as many as possible. With the large number brought to my net, there were a couple that were bleeding badly, so I bonked 'em. One was one of the smaller one I caught, only a 13"er. The other two keepers werre about 15". There were some that I released and some that got off that were in the 15" to 18" class that just went ape-shit when hooked. Jumpers! And going for big air! The nice weather window closed, but the fish are still there for now. Surface water temp was still at 51 F. All ya need for that lake is a clear intermediate line! And a Narwhalsawzall Stocker Clocker!
Those Cortland lines were very good . I have`nt tried the clear camo . The best intermediate line I now own is an Airflo something-or-other . It`s not a clear line - it`s a puky green . It casts very well . It sinks very slowly - as it should imo , instead of the type 2 rate my Rio clear line sinks at .
I primarily fish stillwaters. Over the years, I've gone through a lot of different lines. These days, my primary line is a clear intermidiate sinking guy. I use both Cortland and SA and can't really tell all that much difference. What I have learned, with the help of a fish/depth finder, is line depth is paramount for stillwater. If I've never fished a fishery before, I'll use my fish/depth finder to see where the fish are holding. If they are holding close to the bottom, I use my full-fasting sink line (the fastest sinking available). But usually, the intermidiate sinking line will cover the bases unless the lake is deep. I carry three lines, floating, intermidiate sinking and fast sinking. I use the intermidiate line the most. Once in a blue moon I might try a Cortland clear sink-tip but I've found the full intermidiate clear line works the best. All the guys I fish with on stillwaters use the intermidiate, clear line.
Reviving an old thread for the annual Xmas wish list. What brands do you prefer for clear intermediate lines for west side lakes and how fast of a sink rate should I look for? My 2013 resolution will be to improve my lake game.
I've used both the Scientific Angler and Cortland intermediate sinking lines. I prefer the Cortland because it doesn't seem to kink up on the reel as does the SA. If I was going to buy a line today it would be the Cortland 444 Camo Intermediate Fly Line
Here is a question I cannot answer, maybe you can. The lines I use the most are my Courtland 444 Slime Line, and a SA Type II Uniform Sink. A few months ago I was stretching my slime line and it snapped about 12' back from the head. Obviously the line was gone, but until I found another I took it down to Kiene's and had a loop welded on the remaining line after the break. I took it out the next day and was shocked. I got about another 15' of distance out of it. It seemed to fish better and was more sensitive. It's totally improved with 12' of head gone. Why?
Looking at the line profile I would think it would be lighter with the WF tip gone? However, that is the only answer I could gin up too, even though it makes no sense to me that the line would be heavier. I've learned to over line anything Sage, even though this rod is a Z-Axis which is slower than the RPLs. I prefer to use my 6 wt. sinkers on my 4 wt. RPL when appropriate. The only lines I've found that should match the rod wt. are the Rio Outbounds as they are already over grained. Update: I looked at the profile again, and you're right--about half the line gone was a taper, not the body. I wonder if there's anything detrimental about losing that?
Yup. Obviously the designer of the fly line needs to snip off the last 12' of their lines to make a better product.
Can you please check again to see if you really lost head weight? Do you still have the 12 foot section to weigh and compare to the weight of the 18-30 foot section of the "new" line. This link http://www.cortlandline.com/products/default.asp?id=99 shows 6 in and 6 feet as the level plus front taper and then the next 5.5 feet would be main body if you lost 12 feet for reference. Is that the same taper as your line. Front taper can still be thicker (heavier) than the running line even if it's not as thick (heavy) as the main body of the line. Any taper lost that's thicker than the running line makes a lighter head and the running line is usually the thinnest part of a WF line as far as I know. IMHO the line got lighter and the rod got back to its sweet spot. Personally I despise over lining Sage unless it's for exclusively short work (usually nymphing some flowing water or pounding a popper under mangroves). Since stillwater is usually casting as far as I can, I stick with manufacturer's recommendation or even happily underline if the fly is heavily weighted (rod feels line weight + fly weight). One final comment on casting distance is the portion of the fly line you are shooting now has probably seen a lot less wear than the section you were shooting on before and is probably smoother so it shoots better. The main detrimental aspect of losing the taper is fly turnover and presentation. Unless you're throwing to visible fish that's probably not a big deal. If you could previously throw the line to within less than 12 feet of the backing then you are also that much short in your max casting / fishing distance.
MB, I wish I had the line but no. Actually I looked at a similar line, not the one you brought up which is the correct one. I have to flip back to my original thought because it does look like I lost some weight. I overline because there is less line out with more grains per foot for the false cast and I can shoot further with a heavier line on a fast rod. If I am using a mid flex then that's not the case. I have tried underlining and it just doesn't work. I am not even close to a 100' cast with any of my sinking lines except for my Rio OBS which is overweight from the factory, and that one I can get pretty close, at least 85' on a good one. I'm lucky to get 60' out with my other sinkers from a pontoon or float tube which is nearly only when I use them, but that's partially attributable to a two fly rig with a big bugger and long leader I think.
A slightly less shorter answer is the first 30 feet of the fly line is heavier as the tapered tip is missing. You have the trout equivalent of a bass bug line which is a "club" tip to help turn over bulky bass poppers/flies. This is why your line feels like its casting better.

i love this light!
I bought this for a new house with cathedral ceilings, the light that came in house was a regular light and sat at a slant. This light fits the bill perfectly and is beautiful.

It's no historical preservation ordinance, but the Pewee Valley City Council is once again considering design guidelines for homes and businesses in portions of the city. The areas along Ky. 146 and Ky. 22 are designated scenic corridors under the Oldham County Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The council is considering guidelines for those corridors, stretching 150 feet from the centerline of the two highways.
As Moses led the people out of Egypt, and they approach the Promised Land, Moses sends 12 spies to see the land God is about to give them. Two of the spies, Joshua and Caleb, believe that with God's continued help the land will be theirs.
Two payments to home-shopping giant QVC and several lunches on the city's dime leave some council members questioning the best use of La Grange taxpayers' money.

Glad airport won't come to OC
To the editor:
Thank you, Oldham County for voting against the airport. I was so relieved to see that this peaceable community decided to take a stand on disturbing the peace.
After living in Louisville the better part of my life, I moved to Oldham County in 2004. The beautiful countryside, the birds, the few farms that are left were wonderful. But more importantly was the peace and serenity that seems to abide here.

After a day and a half in the Gulf — visiting a Coast Guard station in Mississippi, a booming staging area in Alabama, and a naval base in Florida — President Obama will deliver his first Oval Office address Tuesday night at 8 p.m. ET.
That the president has chosen this moment to give his first address from the Oval Office indicates not only the severity of the environmental and economic disaster caused by the BP oil spill, but also the perils the crisis poses for his presidency. With almost seven in ten Americans rating the federal response to the spill as negative — a worse rating than that for the government's performance after Hurricane Katrina — the president's political capital and his agenda are at risk.
Tomorrow night, the president will address the following items, according to senior White House officials:
* the reorganization of the Minerals Management Service, the woefully underperforming federal regulator in charge of supervising offshore drilling;
* plans for containment of the environmental damage;
* when BP will be able to capture most of the oil gushing from the well;
* the escrow account the president wants BP executives to establish for those hurt economically by the spill;
* long-term recovery plans for the Gulf;
* how the spill underlines the need for the US to pursue a "clean energy future."
In addition, the president will discuss how BP will need to pay a great deal of funds to the government according to Natural Resource Damage Assessments, an official says. The president intends to make sure that money is spent to restore the Gulf to the healthy environmental standards it had pre-Hurricane Katrina.
Why isn't this address coming after the president's Wednesday meeting with BP executives?
"Because he's going to tell the nation what he intends to tell BP that they have to do," a senior White House official says.
And why now? Why is this week the "inflection point" of the crisis, as senior White House adviser David Axelrod has said?
"We know more now than we did," the official says, both in terms of how much oil is being released and in terms of "our capacity to contain the flow."
The official underlines that this spill is not an "event" like the Challenger disaster, but rather an "epidemic" that will continue for years, even after the hole is plugged.

DescriptionThere was once a little brown bat who couldn't sleep days-he kept waking up and looking at the world. Before long he began to see things differently from the other bats, who from dawn to sunset never opened their eyes. The Bat-Poet is the story of how he tried to make the other bats see the world his way. Here in The Bat-Poet are the bat's own poems and the bat's own world: the owl who almost eats him; the mockingbird whose irritable genius almost overpowers him; the chipmunk who loves his poems, and the bats who can't make beads or tails of them; the cardinals, blue jays, chickadees, and sparrows who fly in and out of Randall Jarrell's funny, lovable, truthful fable. Best Illustrated Children's Books 1964 (NYT)Year's Best Juveniles 1964 (NYT) About the AuthorRandall Jarrell (1914-1965) received the National Book Award for his book of poems The Woman at the Washington Zoo.

Badminton: Malaysia coach sidelined after poor Commonwealth Games
KUALA LUMPUR (REUTERS) - Malaysia badminton coach Rashid Sidek has paid the price for a poor Commonwealth Games showing, after he was excluded from the travelling party for the world championships in Denmark later this month and also looks set to miss out on the 2016 Olympics.
Men's singles coach Rashid saw his two charges knocked out at the quarter-final stage in Glasgow earlier this month, as India's Parupalli Kashyap won the gold to end Malaysia's long domination of the event dating back to 1990.
Rashid, who started that run by winning gold in Auckland and then retaining the title four years later, has endured a poor relationship with Badminton Association of Malaysia president Tengku Mahaleel Tengku Ariff, who instructed deputy coach Hendrawan to take charge for the Aug 25-31 event in Copenhagen.
"I don't want to argue or harp on this issue, but the president had a management meeting and chose Hendrawan to take my place at the world championships," Rashid was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times.

Stable job and good potential career growth. in the company. Generally pays better than other industry. Promotes work life balance.

ProsGreat Experience, flexible schedule, awesome exposure to managing variety of people.
ConsVery subjective ranking and rating job performance. It is not all numbers/result based, what your boss say about you during the ranking and rating session means more than what your Scorecard shows. If you have a boss who doesnt like you. Kiss your promotion and raise goodbye.
Advice to ManagementAdviceTry to uniform the training process. Sending TMs to different areas of the country mean if they are lucky they will get a OM or a market that will train them well. If not, they will have to start slow or learn about their job when they actually have a full territory. It is not fair to many TMs.

And this can happen instantly, because not for a single moment is godliness far away from you. You may be far away, but godliness is never far away from you. You may have fallen into a deep slumber, but any moment you can wake up. The capacity to wake up remains always yours.
.and when, after all that effort.
Of going right and left, doing this and that - yoga methods, prayer, meditations; there are a thousand and one methods. Doing this, doing that, one day suddenly you wake up. You simply open your eyes and great laughter arises in you at the whole ridiculousness of your effort - because you were trying to get that which you have already got; hence the absurdity.
It is said that Hotei, when he became enlightened, started laughing. He lived for years but the laughter continued. Whenever people would say to him, "Say something to us. What is your message?" he would start laughing, a belly laugh, he would start rolling on the floor.
Why was Hotei doing such absurd things? From his standpoint, the very idea of searching for God is ridiculous, because God is already the case. You need not go anywhere, you have just to open your eyes. You have never missed him.
He is your life. He is the beat of your heart, you breathe him in and out, he circulates in your blood. He is your consciousness, and he is your sleep too. Just open your eyes.
.and when, after all that effort,you finally open your eyes,you will see your self, through inherent defects,wandering around itself like the ox in a mill.
What is the inherent defect of the self? The inherent defect is that the self is a false entity - and the false cannot meet the true. Darkness cannot meet light; if you bring light in, darkness disappears. If you want darkness to be in, you will have to take light out; they never meet.
There is an inherent defect in darkness. What is that inherent defect? It is nonexistential; it is a shadow. The shadow follows you, and it follows so constantly, so consistently, that you can start thinking of it as if it is something real. Wherever you go, it is with you; it never leaves you. Still it is not.
Ohrenstein, his hands in his pockets, was walking through a fashionable park, deep in thought, when a police sergeant came running up to him.
"You'll have to put that dog on a leash," the police sergeant shouted, pointing to a huge yellow dog who was frolicking at Ohrenstein's feet.

Here are some hot outtakes from Irina Shayk's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. They show off her world class ass, great tits and amazing body. The more pictures of this girl I see the more I can see why she is on the cover. Each pic is hotter than the previous one and her body is a work of art. I also loves that she gets topless in the water. I want to see the real outtakes where she is topless in the water and we get to see her amazing tits in all their glory. Maybe one day, but for now these hot thong and hand bra shots will have to do.

Us Weekly has published photographs of Ashton Kutcher with someone who could be his new girlfriend. The "Two and a Half Men" star, who split from wife Demi Moore in November, was spotted sightseeing in Italy with screenwriter Lorene Scafaria.
A witness, Alex Thorpe, is quoted as saying that the pair enjoyed a romantic lunch in Pisa on Christmas Eve, where they "held hands" while sharing spaghetti, which he paid for.
Scafaria was linked to "The O.C." star Adam Brody until recently, but Us Weekly's sources say that she and Kutcher have been romantically involved since February, long before his official split from Moore. (She filed for divorce from him in November following a rash of reports about his alleged infidelities.)
Representatives for both Kutcher and Scafaria denied the story and told Us Weekly, "They're just friends."

Researching Distro-Specific PHP Problems
Posted by Stuart Herbert on May 14th, 2009 in Toolbox.
I'm putting together a new conference talk, and I'd like your help and input.
Most Linux distributions ship with packages for PHP, but not everyone is happy with these packages. If you're not happy with the PHP packages for a specific Linux distro (no matter how obscure), I'd love to hear what you think the problems are and (if possible) what the correct solution should be.
If you have something to say on this, please leave a comment below.
20 Comments
Thomas Koch says:
May 14th, 2009 at 9:21 amLooking forward to read more on this. Some PHP guys say, that distributions just suck in packaging PHP. Well, they see it from their perspective as a PHP dev.
I think there are a number of trade-offs to consider:- Keep PHP consistent on all plattforms (including evil ones) vs. optimize the experience for your distribution
- Have a packaging system for PHP (pear) equally on all plattforms vs. integrate nicely into the distributions packaging system
- Make PHP "just work", e.g. if somebody just wants to install Mediawiki and doesn't know anything about PHP vs. allow to tweak PHP to the maximumThat are the ones I can think of for the moment.
David Coallier says:
May 14th, 2009 at 9:46 amI would have to say that one thing that really annoys me is the way OS X has to play with the libxml libraries and headers. Also, ICU+PHP6 can be a pain to get running if you don't play with the icu/source/config/mh-darwin it probably won't configure for you. Solution is quite simple, at line 28 of that configure script, make sure you have:
LD_SONAME = -Wl,-compatibility_version -Wl,$(SO_TARGET_VERSION_MAJOR) -Wl,-current_version -Wl,$(SO_TARGET_VERSION) -install_name $(libdir)/$(notdir $(MIDDLE_SO_TARGET))
Hope this helps a bit :)
Dave Marshall says:
May 14th, 2009 at 10:01 amI'm not sure if it's a problem as such, but debian/ubuntu change the way sessions are garbage collected, disabling the built in methods and opting for cronjobs. I think this is because they give only root read access to the storage directory, which I assume is a security measure for shared hosting?
K says:
May 14th, 2009 at 10:54 amOn ubuntu php comes with the suhosin patch and some other patches. While it may be a security plus , they probably tested with security in mind. Php is much slower than a non patched version and in several occasions php segfaulted , while on the same non patched version did not .
K says:
May 14th, 2009 at 10:56 amAnd in some other distributions , php5 is still at 5.1.x , updating php requires you to hack in or add a new repository.
Gregory Patmore says:
May 14th, 2009 at 12:30 pmCentOS rpms for 5.2.9 come with pdo_sqlite drivers packaged, but no standard sqlite extension.
Really a debate about what should be packaged with each distro is a moot point in my opinion. What I think should happen is that all rpms should come configured in conjunction with what the php manual SAYS it should be packaged with by default. Granted some extensions just plain old won't work on some distros, but then we need to get them documented in a better fashion then 34 user comments down on the function reference page.
Stuart Herbert says:
May 14th, 2009 at 12:43 pm@gregory At this stage, I'm more interested in the problems caused by each distro's changes to PHP. I plan on following up with an article summarising how all distros should ship PHP.
Stuart Herbert says:
May 14th, 2009 at 12:44 pmMany thanks to everyone so far for your comments. Please keep them coming!
philip says:
May 14th, 2009 at 1:55 pmI don't remember or know the topic but RedHat seems to port various fixes (seen as security fixes) to 5.1 and distribute that.
Mark Lee says:
May 14th, 2009 at 8:37 pmI posted my gripe about Debian/Ubuntu and PEAR a while back:
David says:
May 15th, 2009 at 2:05 amWhat really bugs me is when distros take forever to upgrade to newer packages. I can understand the stability argument to a degree (you don't want things changing all the time on live servers), but at the same time, minor point upgrades rarely add new features, and instead are bug fix releases. I have to agree with Torvalds when he said that focusing only on security is misguided. It doesn't make sense to only take the security fixes and backport them to a previous version and ignore the bug fixes. I want PHP to work and run as expected. Not become a fragmented mess where the version you're running is actually some weird hybrid of PHP versions 5.2.6, 5.2.8 and 5.2.9. And then it still says that you've got 5.2.6 installed which makes you wonder what security vulnerabilities have actually been fixed?
Similarly with shared hosting accounts, if I see an older version of PHP installed, the first thing that comes to mind is that they're using an older buggier version that still has widely publicised security vulnerabilities. Not something that instils a lot of confidence…
Now if there was some easy way to get good up-to-date packages…
Gaetano says:
May 15th, 2009 at 10:28 am1 – (red hat and derivatives especially but other distros too) still shipping php 5.1 and having no 5.2 available in the main repos is really a hindrance to the community
2 – the debian fix to session management is real bad if the admin does not know that he has to set session.gc_prob to != 0 (it usually igets discovered when the session table in the db is 10million rows)
3 – having a non-sushosin-patched version in the main repos would also be good for those who prefer speed over security
4 – having a different timezone db linked into php (redhat) can also be source of confusion (in exetremely rare cases, I admit)
The biggest problem overall I'd say is making the info about distro-added patches and tweaks much more prominent and easily accessible.
Stuart Herbert On PHP - » Poll: What server o/s will you run PHP 5.3 on? says:
May 15th, 2009 at 12:39 pm[...] who voted in my last poll about when you'll adopt PHP 5.3, and everyone who has provided feedback on the problems caused by the way individual distros package PHP.� I've had much more feedback than I could have hoped for!� This is all useful research for [...]
David G says:
May 15th, 2009 at 2:51 pmOSX (10.5.x) comes with MySQL and PHP+PDO. But PDO_MySQL is not compiled in so it's a waste.
Yet — OSX comes with SQLite and PDO and does come with PDO_SQLite (go figure).
On pre 10.5 the easiest way to install PHP on OSX is to use a 3rd party distribution (Entrophy) which requires php-full-tags out of the box — and it kludges itself into Apache with a +entrophy.conf (hoping that "+e" is the first conf file including in your vhosts/sites configuration(s).
On OSX 10.5.x GD is not installed by default with PHP rendering it useless for most work I do (Joomla / Drupal / custom) that requires image libraries be on the system.
In case you can't tell OSX blows … long live ArchLinux.

May 15th, 2009 at 5:24 pmAs an Admin/Engineer/Entrepreneur, I look at it from a point of view of maintaining or handing over control of this part of your software stack to a vendor. It depends how critical the application is to a business as to whether you decide to manage this part of the software stack or not.
For example, if you're an ASP you definitely want to maintain/manage as much of the entire software stack as possible. If you're a small business running a CMS or a non-critical application then having the vendor maintain those packages may be a better choice.

May 15th, 2009 at 6:30 pmI've noticed that in Ubuntu, php comes by default with the short_open_tag = On by default in the .ini file for apache (and i'm assuming the cli as well) In SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, short_open_tag = Off is the default there. I banged my head against a wall for like an hour before i figured out why apache with mod php turned on wouldn't interpret … ( short_open_tag = Off requires you to write out … i guess to "improve portability pppppfftt! )

May 18th, 2009 at 7:18 amI've never used PHP distro packages ever since back in 2002 or so, when:
- RedHat had lots of obscure errors never seen elsewhere,
probably due to their weird gcc-2.96 …- SuSE delivered PHP binaries with debug enabled, so breaking
binary compatibility with 3rd party binary extensions …After this i've never tried anything but self compiled
binaries ever again … -

May 18th, 2009 at 7:33 amWell im using xampp on MAC OS X (because i have to at work) and for some unknown reasons it does not have some extensions in the command line interface. For example using apache module you have both soap extension available but running from command line you dont.
So i had to compile the extension manually … but should not all core modules be included? at least as .so files?
Another thing i rememer was missing was unixtojd function :-))
From my experience with debian i never had any issues. Just install a few packages and then use pecl. Everything should work fine.
btw. OSX does blow ;-)

June 1st, 2009 at 11:44 amI've got pretty wired Ubuntu gotchas with realpatch() function. In Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTS it returns false if file don't exists and on Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop this didn't worked (probably something that can be casted to bool true was returned). Both stock PHP packages (5.2.x) with minimal configuration changes. I haven't tested this on newer Ubuntu version.
