Tying methods, tricks and tips - Become a better fly tyer
The Perfect Transparent Bait Fish
Flies are becoming more and more realistic - even the saltwater flies. Gammarus with transparent backs and scud patterns, shrimps tied with clear legs, looped tails and pulsating mouth parts and antennas. Now it is time for the bait fish.

The LAW of attraction
I was amongst the lucky fly-tyers who managed to lay my hand on one of Lawrence Waldron's LAW fly-tying vises while he made them - and they could be bought at reasonable prices.

Threading a bobbin
: Considering how simple the goal is: to get the thread through the tube of a bobbin holder, there's a surprising number of ways to do it.
Find a few tips here
Bobbin holders
: Most people use a bobbin holder when they tie flies. In spite of being a simple tool there are some pretty advanced models out there.
This is a look at the ins and outs of bobbin holders
Don't tie flies
Just kidding!
: This is in reality a declaration of love to the art and craft of tying fishing flies with lots of tips for the beginning fly-tyer.

Fly Tying Thread Blues
Aught or odd
: The old aught system for tying threads (6/0, 8/0, 10/0) isn't really good.
So the newer Denier system is much better, right?
No, not really!
Read why in this article
Mouse flies
: Somewhat an oxymoron - a fly that's a mammal - but still a fun fly to tie, and not least to fish when the large fish are tuned in on a mouse menu.
See lots of mice here
Wet Flies
Fly Tying
: Wet flies are once again very popular, but most we see are tied for presentation and not so much for fishing. Bob Petti enjoys tying wet flies and tries to style his after the fishing flies that are popular in the UK using colors and materials that work well in the water.

DIY stick-on eyes
Home made
: Make your own large eyes for pike and saltwater flies using inexpensive materials and a little time. Some adhesive marker dots, a handful of waterproof pens and some LCR and you can start your own stick-on eye factory.

Easy Shrimp Eyes
The fly-tying market is brimming with prefabricated materials, and Danish Easy Shrimp Eyes is one of the companies who are making them. We have talked to the guys behind the products.
Catskill Tube Flies
The cradle of American fly-fishing in the Catskills and tube flies isn't something normally connected, but fly-tyer Richard Katzman ties tube flies to be fished in these hallowed waters.
Buying marabou
In nature the marabou is a stork. In fly tying it's a very versatile and popular type of feathers from other birds than the marabou.
Gapen's Muddler Minnow
This is an article about Don Gapen's original Muddler Minnow - a fly that is tied in countless versions and has inspired thousands of patterns, but only few that resemble the original
Jock Scott
Some might consider it a bit mad or even crazy, but when Danish Niels Have ties full dressed, classic Jock Scott salmon flies, he ties them by the dozen... and then he fishes with them!
Buying soft hackle
The soft hackle is supposed to be - as the name implies - soft. Soft hackle can come from many birds. Chickens, gamebirds like partridge, grouse and quail, pheasant and even crows and jackdaws.

I wish a very Happy Easter to you, whoever you may be!
Or as my small son said, "Happy Chocolate Festival". I do hope I am more pious than that.
I wish a very Happy Easter to you, whoever you may be!
Or as my small son said, "Happy Chocolate Festival". I do hope I am more pious than that.
You Really Don't Quite Get It, Do You, Mr Cameron?
David Cameron has been discussing the contribution made by Christianity to Britain.
He led by example and for millions of us his teachings are just as relevant now as they were in his lifetime.
As we share in this festival with our friends and family, we can all be reminded of the enormous contribution Christianity has made to our country.
Easter reminds us all to follow our conscience and ask not what we are entitled to, but what we can do for others. It teaches us about charity, compassion, responsibility, and forgiveness.
No matter what faiths we follow, these are values which speak to us all.
Er, no, Mr Cameron. Not quite.
Of course, for most people, Easter just means a few days off, lots of beer, chocolate eggs, bunnies and flowers. Not really all that meaningful.
For those of us who are Christians, Easter reminds us that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, voluntarily submitted to being tortured and killed, and then rose again to new life on the third day. And by so doing, that he enabled all of us to be forgiven of our sins, so that we may live for ever in the presence of God.
Easter is, in fact, the Christian festival of the Good News of our salvation.
Phew. Bloody death … new and everlasting life … forgiveness of sins … salvation from God … those things don't sit too well with Mr Cameron's cuddly view of Easter, do they?
Mr Cameron's comments are typically crass. Of course I can understand that he is not a Christian, and I don't at all have a problem with that. I do have a problem with his trying to enlist Christians to support him, by vomiting out a "Christianity Lite" view that tries to show how compassionate and "christian" (with a small "c") he is, while at the same time completely failing to grasp the Christian understanding of Easter.
Easter is the major Christian festival of the year. If Mr Cameron perceives the truth of the Christian message, and converts, I shall of course be extremely delighted.
Otherwise, stick to the chocolate and bunny rabbits next year, David.
The followers of Jesus are today mourning his passing.
Jesus preached a message of peace, of doing God's will, of showing love to others, and of being saved from our evil ways by the God who created us.
He was seen by the powerful priests of his own people as a threat. They saw him as someone who would usurp their leadership of the people. And they saw him as a heretic who threatened the very basis of their religious beliefs.
They therefore wrongly accused him of inciting rebellion against the Imperial Power. The Roman Governor of Israel, Pontius Pilate, investigated their claims. He could find no case against Jesus, but the Jews were becoming increasingly restive. Fearing a riot, and punishment for himself by Rome for allowing it to happen, he had Jesus executed by crucifixion, even though he knew he was innocent.
It was a particularly gruesome end for a man of peace. It brought shame on the Jewish religious leaders, who were supposed to be the spokesmen of God. And it was a damning indictment of the Empire of Rome, with its pretensions to legality and the rule of law.
Jesus himself refused to defend himself, and chose instead to die a bloody death alongside petty thieves. And he was heard to forgive his tormentors.
There is some sense in which Jesus died for all of us. Which of us, being Pilate, would not have avoided a riot in Jerusalem by condemning Jesus? Which of us, being the Jewish leaders, would not have defended our dogma by betraying Jesus? We all hope that we have not caused someone's death by our own selfishness, but most of us – even all of us – have made others suffer for our own benefit.
We are all sinners: Pontius Pilate, the Jewish religious leaders, you who are reading this, and me as well. Only Jesus is innocent in all of this.
May God forgive us all for this darkest day in human history. By His love and forgiveness we can be assured that after every long dark Good Friday, there always follows an Easter Day.

Hartson linked to Canaries
12 Oct 2007 - 11:41:06
Managerless Norwich City have been linked with a move for out-of-favour West Bromwich Albion forward John Hartson.
Hartson, 32, has not made an appearance for the Baggies since February after falling well down the pecking order at The Hawthorns.
The former Arsenal and Celtic striker has been linked with a loan move to Carrow Road with the Canaries struggling near the foot of the Championship table on the back of a goal drought.
Meanwhile, Norwich captain Jason Shackell claims the players are to blame for the sacking of manager Peter Grant.
Grant left the club earlier this week after a disappointing start to the season and Shackell claims he and his team-mates let the manager down.
"He was a nice man and I got on with him well as a lot of the boys did, there is a general feeling of disappointment," he told the club's official website.
"We let him down - we've let him down the most of the season to be honest.
"We shouldn't be in the relegation zone with the squad that we have, but we are and it's not good enough from our point of view."

Oasis or Allure
We are planning a cruise for next October. Could you tell me is there a difference in Oasis or Allure. If there is which would you pick?
Being sister ships, they are almost identical. The only things you'll find different are a couple of specialty things, like the small restaurant in the Boardwalk area.
The only thing really different is that the Allure is one year newer and is 5cm bigger! That's about 3" and while it doesn't sound like much, when you're talking about a ship that weighs 220,000 gross tons, that equates to a bit more weight. So it really doesn't matter which one you go on; Oasis goes out on Saturdays, Allure goes out on Sundays. One will do the Eastern Caribbean one week, while the other does the Western Caribbean, then the next week they swap itineraries, but the ports are the same for both. Personally, I'd just choose the one that gives you the best deal, just make sure you use an agent as they'll give you better service and help you more should you have any problems. Pete |
Having sailed on both I think it's six of one and a half dozen of the other. Both ships are fantastic. I don't think you will go wrong which ever one you choose. The Allure is a bit larger than the Oasis. At the welcome back party on the Allure the Captain joked that the flagpole on the Allure is taller than the one on the Oasis, thus making the Allure a larger ship. While it is good to use an agent, some of the information you seek can be obtained by searching out RCI's website and other sites as well. I personally enjoyed the Allure more than the Oasis. The only reason why is because on the Oasis we had a Jr. Suite (which is wonderful) and on the Allure we had the Crown Loft Suite which is really nice. Both ships are nice and I think it comes down to which itinerary you like most.
I hope that you read the threads below. They contain profound

I sailed on both of them and enjoyed one as much as the other.
My next cruise is on the Oasis. TM |
Having only been on Allure of the Seas, I was blown away with the art work, especially in the staircases, truly amazing...I was told the decor on Allure is nicer, but not having actually been on Oasis, who knows. I would choose the ship that works better with your travel plans, either leaving on Sat or Sunday could make a difference. Also, be sure to check prices and go with that. I also highly recommend using a cruise travel agent for booking. They may even have a group price if they have a group booking at the time you want to go.
Do let us know which one you pick...and what itinary, East or West. |
Allure is best

welfare wheeler
hi pinion ford dana 44 or hi pinion ford dana 60. depends on desired tire size, and how your gonna use it. the high pinion 44 could be easily matched to the rear 6 lug axle by swapping on old chevy outers. the d44 is way cheaper. are you gonna run leafs in front, radius arms, or link it? leafs or old ford radius arms are pretty cheap and easy to work with. if it was me, and i was gonna run 35's or mabey 37's, i would get a hi pinion 44 radius arm axle and run that. its cheap, easy to convert, and fairly strong. if you wanna go hog wild, look for a hi pinion 60, and look at a cage sas kit. good luck

"cant worry about it"
i did a sas on my blazer last year. lot different now. (s10 cab, 8 lugs etc) but its really a broad subject your on here. I started with ord's leaf spring kit and a 30/8.25 for axles on 36s. if had to do it again and my suggestion to you is for a cost effecient street/trail rig. do a cherokee style long arm or a 3 link with coil springs and spring over in the rear

"How Does It Feel?" is one of the slowest tracks on Youth, which as an album is predominantly built from aggressive vocals and fuzzy guitars. This track, though, highlights the tender side of frontman Mat Kerekes' vocals and chiming, reverb-drenched guitars.
The video, directed by Rob Soucy (Alkaline Trio, Man Overboard), brings the somber track to life. Shot in a foggy forest in Kerekes' backyard, the clip lulls on obscured visuals of trees as band members disappear into fog and smoke.
With their variety of influences, from Nirvana's grunge to Brand New's genre-defining emo, Citizen have made a name for themselves beyond the Warped Tour community. One of the most popular albums to come out via indie powerhouse Run For Cover Records, Youth debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart this summer. Guitarist Nick Hamm told Fuse that the album and its reception have given Citizen new motivation.
"We really had no experience making a cohesive record," Hamm said. "Our past releases were essentially just a bunch of songs thrown together. Youth kind of helped us gain a vision of where we want to go as a band."

Obamacare ailing as website woes prove
Nancy Pelosi and a certain African-American news commentator feel that Obamacare is a racist term.

Bought a Glock 19 yesterday. I received my carry permit after about a 6-week wait last week (NC). The first few days I carried either my Sig P220 or a Colt Officer's Model. Both are heavy and hard to conceal (although my wife didn't realize I was carrying and was surprised when I asked after a shopping trip). Anyway, I bought a Glock 19 ($599 with Glock night sights) and also got $150 for an old Police Positive that my father left me. The old Colt had a nice bore but deep rust on the frame at the back of the grip.
I ran 150 rounds through the Glock today (7, 15, and 25 yds) and about 40 through my Officer's Model. At 7 yards, I don't think I had anything outside of the circle on the IPDA target, at 15 everything was within the rectangle, but at 25 I had a few rounds off the target.
Glock functioned very well and shot better with Remington 115 grain JHP (Wally World) than the WWB FMJ.
My recently modified Officer's Model is doing better (almost all rounds the target at 25 yards) but still had one failure to extract. I think I will eventually have to have the extractor replaced (gunsmith altered but didn't replace the old one). The Officer's Model is now beautiful (SS has been bead blasted) and I will try to get a photograph up.
I had not wanted to buy a Glock but the weight, price, and capacity finally won me over (I am more of a 1911 or P-35 type guy). I was impressed by the reliability and accuracy. My last 10 rounds were at 7-yards with a quick move from ready to a sight picture and firing a single round. I think about 7 of the 10 were within a 2 or 3 inch group with 3 or 4 rounds touching.
I also have figured out that when I miss it is almost always down and to the left. I have been shooting again for about 6 weeks (about 800 rounds of CF handgun ammo) and I think I am pushing my right hand too much and flinching when I pull the trigger. I noticed that I was shooting as well or better with my weak hand.
Anyway, I think the Glock 19 will be the pistol that will allow me to reach my goal of being able to consistenly hit an IPDA target at 50 yards (new glasses may help).
The Glock is different but in a Galco belt holster worn at 3:30 or 4:00 it is hard to see under a t-shirt.
I will work on my new AR-15 next time at the range and am going to try to get my wife to shoot the Glock (then I can get a G30 or a carry version of the Sig 220). My mother is visiting, she is 85, and she still keeps a 16 guage for protection. She told me that people in her Sunday school class (older women) said they would never shoot anyone. My mom said if they broke in but were running away she might not try to kill them.

The power of a storm swirling rain, snow, fog and thunder across Colorado will wind down through Monday, setting us up for a "that Springtime feeling" week.
Areas of rain, snow and fog will continue to move through overnight, but will decrease Monday, allowing highs to climb into the 50s/60s (40s in the high country). Skies will feature lots more stars Monday night, as most of us record lows in the 30s.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be sunny in the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon and dry, with highs in the 60s/70s.
Gusty winds will return Thursday and Friday, as a cold front moves through from the west, and brings a 20% chance for a shower or thundershower.
At the moment, next weekend looks GREAT, with sunshine, and highs in the 70s at least.

(In which we ponder the nanny state and harm done.)
A marijuana plant grown for medicinal purposes flowered in Nevada. The concerns are real; abusing illicit drugs, like abusing alcohol, is dangerous. That's why dividends from decriminalization for adults should be used to keep these substances out of the hands of minors. But if the failure of Prohibition taught us anything, it's that banning a substance doesn't make it go away.
Photo: Jason Bean •Las Vegas Review-Journal via Associated Press,
Minnesota legislators seem poised to follow the lead of 18 other states by legalizing medicinal marijuana in the next legislative session. While the effort is primarily a Democratic one, there is Republican support as well. Nevertheless, lawmakers are up against the same obstacle medical marijuana faced in 2009 — a reluctant governor.
Mark Dayton remains adamant, as was Tim Pawlenty before him, about deferring to a powerful state interest whose support most politicians covet: law enforcement. Indeed, the governor's spokesperson declared in the waning days of the 2013 session that Dayton won't support any legislation on the issue so long as groups like the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association oppose it.
Of course, the governor might change his mind, we're told, "if advocates are able to reach an agreement with law enforcement …" Well, now, there's a profile in courage.
Given all the talk of compassion coming from those in government these days, the idea of denying terminally ill patients the only substance they say brings relief from excruciating pain — placebo effect or not — seems absurd and more than a bit cruel.
Yet you can't pick up a press release from the Drug Enforcement Agency, the White House drug czar or the Minnesota County Attorneys' Association that doesn't include dire warnings about marijuana as a "gateway" drug. Problem is, the proverbial pot smoker is less likely to get hooked after one sitting than are those experimenting with any number of other stimulants or sedatives. According to a 1990s National Comorbidity Survey of 8,098 participants, the estimated percentage of people who used marijuana at least once and became dependent was 9 percent — much lower than tobacco and alcohol.
Besides, we have de facto legalization now for far more dangerous substances, and everyone knows it. They're called prescriptions.
The overall painkiller market totaled $9.4 billion in 2012, and there were more deaths from overdoses of those substances than from heroin and cocaine combined — notwithstanding the episodic high profile celebrity death. The Centers for Disease Control said only this month that the soaring number of overdoses was directly related to the large number of prescriptions easily obtained.
Some will say this is hardly comforting evidence when it comes to further decriminalizing drugs. And that pot smoking, especially at younger ages, poses a real threat over time to the proper development of cognitive functions, including the risk of psychosis.
Those concerns are real; abusing illicit drugs, like abusing alcohol, is dangerous. That's why dividends from decriminalization for adults should be used to keep these substances out of the hands of minors.
But if the failure of Prohibition (whose loudest supporters, such as teetotaler John D. Rockefeller, eventually became its loudest opponents) taught us anything, it's that banning a substance doesn't make it go away. It merely drives it underground, making it far more dangerous.
The risks in distributing any sort of contraband drive up its price and profitability. The result has been an era of unspeakable violence — from Columbia to Mexico to America's inner cities — as cartels large and small seek to protect their monopoly turf by any means necessary.
Mexico, our largest foreign supplier of marijuana, has seen 50,000 people brutally killed since 2006 — the year that country decided to crack down on trafficking. It's a strategy that two former Mexican presidents have publicly questioned, in no small part due to the corruption of government officials paid to look the other way by lethal cartels.
Those cartels have been given a monopoly on distribution in Mexico and the United States as a direct result of both nations' misguided policies. Whatever their faults, you simply do not see these kinds of problems with legal substances, whether tobacco, alcohol, or everyone's drug of choice, caffeine.
Unfortunately, logic hasn't stopped the Obama administration from expanding its "partnership" with Mexico by sending billions in added security assistance as part of the Merida Initiative's seemingly futile battle against drug trafficking organizations. Most experts agree that the latest head of the vicious Zeta cartel, captured last week in dramatic fashion, will quickly be replaced by another. Nor has the embarrassment of Operation Fast and Furious — the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives boondoggle that allowed thousands of assault weapons to flow into the hands of Mexico's most violent narco-terrorists — deterred our ardent law-and-order liberals.
If anything, the drug war seems to have emboldened the nanny state. Because a few folks lack discretion in their various eating and drinking habits, the neo-prohibitionist mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, has decided to regulate everything from soda to salt for the rest of us. Meanwhile, writes Reason's Greg Beato, "New York City in 2012 experienced its first overall increase in major crimes in 20 years."
Liberals are banning tobacco displays and smoking in your own home or car — and, in an uncharacteristic admission of how taxation changes behavior, are slapping massive tax increases on cigarettes in the hopes of discouraging consumption. The $1.60-per-pack hike that took effect this month brings Minnesota's cigarette tax to $2.83 per pack, sixth-highest in the nation.
In 2009, however, ATF officials estimated that states were already losing as much as $5 billion per year in tobacco revenues due to cigarette smuggling. The number is surely much higher now, because ever-increasing levies (a more acceptable form of prohibition) are encouraging more bootlegging. Naturally, state officials are stepping up law enforcement efforts on black market buyers and sellers.
Of course, increased revenue is no reason to legalize marijuana — though some say that motive was behind the reversal on Prohibition during the Great Depression. Nevertheless, the foregone tax revenue for Minnesota from keeping pot illegal amounts to $50 million annually, says Harvard University economist Jeffrey Miron.

Rich win in plan to cut superannuation drawdown
PUBLISHED: 12 Aug 2014 00:05:00 | UPDATED: 12 Aug 2014 07:36:25PUBLISHED: 05 Aug 2014 PRINT EDITION: 12 Aug 2014A major plank of the Coalition's superannuation election commitment was to review the minimum payment amounts for account-based pensions. Pic: Tanya Lake
Nassim Khadem
Wealthy retirees may not have to withdraw as much money from their private pension under an option being considered by the government, which experts say would be an easy way for the rich to preserve tax-free superannuation for their heirs.
The government is considering lowering the annual minimum drawdown from account-based pensions to give self-funded retirees confidence their funds will not run out during economic downturns due to forced withdrawals.
The Financial Services Council and the self-managed superannuation fund industry are lobbying to change the mandatory withdrawal rate, which ranges from 4 to 14 per cent.
But tax and superannuation experts said that lowering the payment, without restrictions, would simply benefit the wealthy, who do not need to draw on their nest egg, and can continue to take advantage of the tax exemption on super earnings.
A Treasury paper, which raises the option of lowering the minimum withdrawal rate, notes that it would be a cost to federal revenue that would most benefit to "those with large account balances or with investments outside of superannuation" such as rental income from property. It also points out the tax advantage: "Drawing down at the minimum rate and leaving funds within the superannuation system maximises the tax concession on the invested money."
It acknowledges that a reduction in the amount required to be drawn down benefits the wealthy, while "people who are less well-off and who need to draw income from their superannuation pension derive less or no benefit".
The paper also notes drawbacks in changing the status quo of "increased uncertainty about the amount required to be drawn down, increased regulation and compliance costs for superannuation funds and retirees, an unpredictable cost to the budget".
A major plank of the Coalition's superannuation election commitment was to review the minimum payment amounts for account-based pensions.
In the paper, Finance Minister Mathias Cormman called for views on whether the current minimum payment amounts are "adequate and appropriate". He said turbulence in financial markets during the past five years had placed the capital value of account-based pensions under "significant pressure".
During the financial crisis, Labor temporarily lowered the minimum to account for the fact that peoples balances had fast depleted.
"We are committed to providing self-funded retirees with confidence that their funds will not run out because of inappropriate forced withdrawals from their pension products," Senator Cormann said in the paper.
Experts are warning against reducing withdrawal amounts, or doing so for a prolonged period, without setting restrictions for those with high super balances. Financial services actuary Catherine Nance said the purpose of account-based pensions was to ensure people have funds to live off in retirement, not to defer tax and bank up balances.
"There needs to be some flexibility [on minimum draw-downs during economic shocks] but you don't want to give unreasonable tax deferral."
Rather than cut the minimum amount, the government could consider changing the timing of withdrawals so it would take into account the balance before the downturn hit."Let's say the account balance was $100,000 and required you to take out 10 per cent each year." Ms Nance said. "You've had a market shock and the account balance is now only $90,000. You're still required to take 10 per cent, but its 10 per cent of $90,000, and not $100,000, because it takes account your current balance rather than end of July balance."
Deloitte financial services partner Paul Swinhoe also said there was nothing to stop wealthy people banking up funds that they could then bequeath to their spouse or kids.
The government needed to be careful that in "opening the doors it's not so far that you can whack all your money in there". "It would be a real shame if tax benefits go to people who don't deserve them," Mr Swinhoe said.
Avoiding a bigger advantage for rich
"If you wanted to avoid a bigger advantage for the rich, you could set a lower drawdown for smaller balances and increase the minimum drawdown amount once the balance hits [a] certain level."
Mr Swinhoe said the real issue that most people did not have enough to retire on despite expectations that the number of retirees and pre-retirees is set to grow from 6.2 million to 7.9 million over the next 10 years.
"The point of the minimum withdrawal rules is to say these are thresholds we need you to be drawing down your account-based pensions and recognise that you're trying to make the last as long possible."
PwC private clients partner Naree Brooks also suggested setting limits on people with high balances being able to avoid drawdowns. "Concerns about those less reliant on superannuation building their wealth in a low tax environment could be overcome by flexible asset-based minimum payments," she said."The minimum payment percentages could vary depending on the amount held," she said.
The Grattan Institute's Jim Minifie said that tax breaks for super had benefited high-income earners. He said the rich should either be taxed more heavily on contributions made to super, or should be hit with a higher minimum drawdown rate.
"Most would accept that the super arrangements were set in place to provide for people's retirement rather than to bequest to the next generation."
Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia chief executive Pauline Vamos said while they supported a move to re-examine minimum withdrawal amounts in tough times, care had to be taken to only do so in "exceptional circumstances".
She said recent caps where contributions tax on superannuation contributions apply had been changed to stop high balances accumulating in future. "How you treat people with very high balances is a very different policy consideration," she said. "Changes do need to be looked at in the context of the whole system."
Industry Super Australia chief executive David Whiteley said minimum draw down requirements were worthy of debate, but it would be more logical if they were considered in tax reform.
Tax Institute superannuation committee chairman Dan Butler said the main aim of reviewing the minimum withdrawals was that life expectancy had increased.
"But assuming you've got money in the pot . . . it could be very well be that it accumulates and it's going to be left to the dependent spouse and children," he said.That's no different to where we've been for years."
At the time of the financial crisis asset values had dramatically fallen, creating a fear that people were running out of money. The former Labor government responded by halving the minimum withdrawal amount for the 2008-09 year.
The Treasury paper asks whether there should be an automatic mechanism for adjusting the minimum drawdown amounts in response to shocks, for a longer period "until balances have recovered".

The bacteria cell envelope is a complex multilayered structure that serves to protect these organisms from their unpredictable and often hostile environment. The cell envelopes of most bacteria fall into one of two major groups. Gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by a thin peptidoglycan cell wall, which itself is surrounded by an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharide. Gram-positive bacteria lack an outer membrane but are surrounded by layers of peptidoglycan many times thicker than is found in the gram-negatives. Threading through these layers of peptidoglycan are long anionic polymers, called teichoic acids. The composition and organization of these envelope layers and recent insights into the mechanisms of cell envelope assembly are discussed.

Biographical/Historical Note
Norma Jean Petersen Paulus was born in Belgrade, Nebraska, on March 13, 1933. During her early childhood, the Peterson family relocated to Burns, Oregon, where Paulus attended Burns Union High School and was a member of the baton team for the high school band. Paulus graduated from Burns Union High School in 1950. Her first job, as a secretary to the Harney County district attorney, led to work as a legal secretary in Salem, Oregon. Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl C. LaTourette encouraged Paulus to apply to law school because of her experience and expertise. Based on her test scores, Paulus entered Willamette University Law School in 1956 without any prior college experience, and graduated with honors in 1962. Paulus met her husband, William G. Paulus, while at Willamette University. They had been married for forty years when he died in 1999. Their two children are Elizabeth and William Frederick ("Fritz") Paulus, both graduates of Whitman College.
Following three terms in the Oregon House of Representatives (1970-1976), Norma Paulus became Oregon's first woman Secretary of State in 1976. She served in this office until 1985. As Secretary of State, Paulus dealt with several issues that gained national attention, including instituting emergency procedures in Wasco County to block followers of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh from an attempt to sway local elections.
Paulus ran unsuccessfully for Governor in 1986, losing to Democrat Neil Goldschmidt. In 1990 Goldschmidt appointed her as Oregon Superintendent of Public Instruction. Paulus won election to a four year term later that year and was reelected in 1994. As state superintendent, Paulus introduced statewide assessment testing in 1991 and supported school-to-work initiatives for reforming public education.
Since leaving public office, Paulus has worked as the executive director of the Oregon Historical Society
served on the Oregon State Capitol Foundation Board
served on the boards of various organizations including Willamette University
and helped raise funds for a statue honoring former governor Tom McCall. In 2004 she received University of Oregon's Distinguished Service Award.

You choose a dog from quite a few breeds and go home to an emty living room and garden were there may be more dogs.When you go out, you can change your dog and buy items by playing mini games. After this, you can place the items in the room and garden that your dog can re-act with and learn tricks by going on items. Also, when you have more and more items, your house will grow bigger and bigger.Though all this sounds good, the game is quite repeative, the days are long and some mini games are annoying.Though overall it is a great game!
4 a fun little gamehayleybun | 03/01/2010 | See all hayleybun's reviews (1)My boyfriend bought me this as my first d.s game as i like dogs and he thought it would be cute! I recieved it christmas day and completed it by the new year......so its not an intense challenge, just light hearted fun to keep you occupied for an hour a day. It has some simple and a few complex games (never heard of president and old maid games so they were hard). over all it was fun but for a younger generation i feel, (im 21) saying that though, its very addictive and i played it when i should of been doing uni work! ooops!! xxxx
4 Cute gamevici89 | 09/11/2008 | See all vici89's reviews (4)Dogz 2 is quite a sweet game but its nothing like having a real dog! I've got two dogs (a jackie pup and a 14 yr old lab) and its very different and i don't think kids should be lead to believe that its easy to look after dogs.The game itself can get a little repeatitive but there are many different games to play to get food, toys and other stuff. Some of the games are quite difficult such as poker, old maid and other card games but there are also easier games like jigsaw puzzles and bowling.You don't really interact with the dogs much but you can buy them things by playing the mini games.Overall i do think its a cute little game but not one i can play on for hours without getting bored.

3 too repetitivemizzfefe | 01/09/2008 | See all mizzfefe's reviews (3)I bought this game thinking it would keep me occupied for hours but it just bores me after a while... It is too repetitive, all you have to do is play the minigames to win new items and then place them in the house! I cant understand how to do many of the things in the description and i dont really think it's true that you feel as if you have a real dog!! The mini games are fun but after a while i get fed up playing the same things over and over and the only thing the dog does is sniff at the items and try them out

Does anyone have any information they've seen or heard about the actual loudness of the console itself when playing games? I own a PC that's very loud and can be very distracting and ruin the immersive experience of some games. The same with my Xbox, it's one of the original white ones so it's pretty loud and again, annoying at times depending on the intensity of the game I'm playing. I'm only asking this on the forums because I'm thinking of getting one (obviously) and I've not seen or heard anyone else ask this question before. Any info would be nice, thanks.
How loud is it?
Like Galiant said. In the environments it's been shown that isn't really something anybody can say one way or the other on yet. Even a pre-release developer build is probably not the same and isn't a reliable thing to make the judgment on. I highly doubt it will be as loud as your Xbox. As for your PC maybe you should upgrade your fans.

The Wii and Gamecube were both incredibly quiet, so it's safe to bet that the Wii U is also going to be quiet. You won't know for certain until it's out, though.

I can't say about the Gamecube, but the Wii isn't exactly quiet. The fans are tiny and reasonably quiet but damn do you know when it's reading a disc! I find it distracting when I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles actually ... >.>
But yeah, ask again in a month or two when someone will actually know. I can't see it being much louder than current machines and as long as it isn't as loud as my original 360 I don't care. XD
I hope it's loud enough to justify bringing back the Play It Loud campaign.

4 Under-$10 Stocks Moving Higher
Acadia Pharmaceuticals (ACAD)
Acadia Pharmaceuticals (ACAD - Get Report) is focused on the development and commercialization of small molecule drugs for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. This stock is trading up 8.8% to $2.47 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $2.40-$2.67
52-Week Range: $0.93-$3.06
Volume: 5.02 million Three-Month Average Volume: 1.28 million From a technical perspective, ACAD is ripping higher here with monster upside volume. This move is quickly pushing ACAD within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit once ACAD manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $2.64 to $2.80 with high volume. At last check, ACAD has hit an intraday high of $2.67 and volume is well above its three-month average action of 1.28 million shares. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ACAD as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $2.27, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 1.28 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then look for ACAD to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $3.06 to $3.30.

-U.S. AMBASSADOR KILLED…It's the most dramatic example of the nightmares that have come with the elation of the so-called "Arab Spring." U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans have been killed in that attack on the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi by protesters – apparently angry over a film that ridiculed Islam's Prophet Muhammad. The circumstances of the killings are still unclear: One report has Ambassador Stevens killed when he and a group of embassy employees went to the consulate to try to evacuate staff; another says he was killed when he was being driven away from the consulate building to a safer location; a third says he died in the building – of smoke inhalation. We do know that this was not really a "protest" so much as an armed assault on the U.S. facility; the attackers were firing gunshots and rocket propelled grenades. This followed protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo through Tuesday. The Libyan Prime Minister told reporters, "around 05:00 pm, I was advised that there was a plane in Tripoli ready to evacuate the US nationals. We secured the US nationals and accommodated them in an safe area near the embassy , there they was an unexpected breach in the security which led to the killing of two other US nationals and wounded 12 or 14 others."
-QUESTIONS…As Martha RADDATZ notes: "Why in the world, on September 11th , in a country that remains volatile and infiltrated, did they not have an evacuation plan for that consulate and the Ambassador? We do not know how he died, but given the pictures that are circulating this was clearly out of control. To have an Ambassador "unaccounted for" for hours, carried away by a mob and then ending up dead is appalling. This was not Blackhawk Down…this was a consulate where security should have been in place. And the other American dying of smoke inhalation? Security is never perfect, and things can obviously happen, but this sure looks bad to me. Is it because we were sensitive about a military presence? A low profile? Meanwhile Luis MARTINEZ reports that a day later, a Marine FAST (Marine Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team) team has been sent to Libya. Typically these teams are sent in as reinforcements or as a quick reaction force to assist U.S. embassies and their personnel that are facing threats. Not sure how many have been sent to Libya, but usually it's a platoon of 40 Marines that are dispatched.
-EGYPT: MORE TO COME?…After nearly 24 hours of official silence on this – Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has called for nationwide protests in response to the film. Of course the Brotherhood is now the governing party in Egypt – not just a protest movement anymore. But this could heat up the streets – again.
-THE FILM & THE FILMMAKER…The violence was came on the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, and were inspired by Egyptian media reports about a 14-minute trailer for the video, called "Innocence of Muslims," that was released on the WebAn Israeli filmmaker based in California went into hiding Tuesday after his movie attacking Islam's prophet Muhammad sparked angry assaults by ultra-conservative Muslims on U.S. missions in Egypt and Libya, where one American was killed. The film' promoter, Florida Pastor Terry Jones, was mentioned in an Ayman Al-Zawahiri message sent out in conjunction with the 9-11 anniversary. The video gained international attention when Jones began promoting it along with his own proclamation of Sept. 11 as "International Judge Muhammad Day." In a statement Tuesday, Jones called the film "an American production, not designed to attack Muslims but to show the destructive ideology of Islam" and said it "further reveals in a satirical fashion the life of Muhammad." Speaking to the AP by phone from an undisclosed location, the film's writer and director Sam Bacile remained defiant, saying Islam is a cancer and that the 56-year-old intended his film to be a provocative political statement condemning the religion.
-THE VICTIMS…Ambassador Stevens arrived in Tripoli in May 2012, as United States Ambassador to Libya, after serving two previous terms in Libya since 2007 as an American envoy before and after the 2011 revolution that overthrew Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. Footage of him there. This moving statement from Secretary of State Clinton: "A 21-year veteran of the Foreign Service, Ambassador Stevens died last night from injuries he sustained in the attack on our office in Benghazi. I had the privilege of swearing in Chris for his post in Libya only a few months ago. He spoke eloquently about his passion for service, for diplomacy and for the Libyan people. This assignment was only the latest in his more than two decades of dedication to advancing closer ties with the people of the Middle East and North Africa which began as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco. As the conflict in Libya unfolded, Chris was one of the first Americans on the ground in Benghazi. He risked his own life to lend the Libyan people a helping hand to build the foundation for a new, free nation. He spent every day since helping to finish the work that he started. Chris was committed to advancing America's values and interests, even when that meant putting himself in danger. Sean Smith was a husband and a father of two, who joined the Department ten years ago. Like Chris, Sean was one of our best. Prior to arriving in Benghazi, he served in Baghdad, Pretoria, Montreal, and most recently The Hague. All the Americans we lost in yesterday's attacks made the ultimate sacrifice. We condemn this vicious and violent attack that took their lives, which they had committed to helping the Libyan people reach for a better future." Our Terry MORAN notes: "I met with Stevens in Benghazi on first trip to Libya during the civil war last year, just after he was named envoy to the opposition. He was so idealistic about the revolution". The BBC's Allan Little interviewed the US Ambo when the embassy reopened in Tripoli last year. I will dig out the interview, as well as the material Drucie shot when we were in Benghazi pre-election this year.
-NEW LIBYAN REGIME REACTS…Libyan Prime Minister Mohammed Magarief apologized to the U.S. for the attacks in Benghazi. He notes that attacks came on eleventh anniversary of 9/11 and adds: This "criminal act will not go unpunished."
-ROMNEY & THE ATTACKS…This from Jake TAPPER: "Before news spread that four Americans had been killed in Benghazi, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney yesterday issued a statement saying: "I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi. It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks." This is an attack rooted in falsehood, and ABC News is not doing its job if we just print it without pointing out that: a) The statement from the US Embassy in Cairo "condemn(ing) the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims" was issued BEFORE the attacks on the diplomatic missions. This is a matter of chronology. (Though I agree that clocks have a long-established liberal bias.) b) This is less important, but an Obama administration official tells ABC News that "no one in Washington approved that statement before it was released and it doesn't reflect the views of the U.S. government." There's another matter here, and that's the propriety of a would-be commander-in-chief issuing a statement such as this before all the dust has settled. But that's for the Romney campaign to respond to and opinion-makers to judge…"
-POPE TO MIDDLE EAST…As the anger and angst swirl in Cairo and Benghazi – Pope Benedict is preparing for a trip to Lebanon. As Phoebe NATANSON reports from Rome, at his weekly public audience in St. Peter's square this morning, the pontiff was talking about peace in the Middle East ahead of the trip – he leaves for Lebanon Friday and will be in Beirut through Sunday. One of the themes surrounding the visit? Strained relations between Christians and Muslims in the region.
-HEAVY FIGHTING IN ALEPPO…Activists are reporting heavy fighting in Syria's largest city as battles intensify ahead of a visit by the new international peace envoy. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees say the fighting Wednesday was mostly near the government-held Aleppo International Airport. Aleppo-based activist Mohammed al-Hassan says the airport, which includes a military base, is widely used by the regime to bomb rebel-held areas in Aleppo.
-"MY LIFE IS JUST THE WOUNDED AND THE DEAD"…So says a doctor at a hospital in Aleppo to the AP. Most patients are civilians wounded by falling buildings and exploding shells.
-TOP GERMAN COURT CLEARS WAY FOR RESCUE FUND…Could be good news for the markets: Germany's high court has rejected calls to block Europe's permanent rescue fund, paving the way in a much-anticipated ruling for its ratification by the country's president. The taxpayer-backed fund is crucial to the eurozone's debt crisis resolution efforts because it can loan money to governments that can't borrow otherwise, and markets had been nervously awaiting the ruling. Immediate reaction: sighs of relief Wednesday, and investors sending the euro above $1.29 for the first time in four months.
-"FRAU NEIN" SAYS YES…From The Washington Post: "Known as the 'Iron Frau,' German Chancellor Angela Merkel has come to be viewed during Europe's debt crisis as an unemotional leader hellbent on cruel austerity and whose favorite word was 'no.' But as she quickly, if reluctantly, emerges as Europe's most influential politician, Merkel has added a new response to her repertoire: 'yes.' In both words and deeds, Merkel has in recent weeks signaled a willingness to embrace more-radical steps in the race to save the euro while sounding a more conciliatory note on the plight of Germany's troubled neighbors. Her newfound pragmatism, observers say, could prove decisive in resolving a debt crisis that will mark its third anniversary next month. Political insiders here say Merkel's shift comes in part because the level of the threat to the euro, and thus to Germany's own economic ascent, crystallized with the worsening of the crisis in Italy and Spain early in the summer…"
With all the swirling stories about President Obama's alleged snub to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu – and Netanyahu's harsh words for the U.S. over "red lines" for Iran – we get this from our Jake TAPPER: "Just to be clear, when told that an Israeli official said the Israelis offered to come down to DC for a meeting since Obama/Netanahu did not overlap sufficiently in NYC for a meeting there, a WH official says that's NOT the case…that there was no offer to come down. Believe who you want to believe, this Obama/Netanyahu relationship is like the couple you quit inviting to your dinner parties because all they do is fight…"
Good take on the current "Where's Xi" story from USA Today: "Recent scandals and the disappearance from public sight of the man who is supposed to inherit the presidency have rumors swirling that the Communist Party's once-a-decade leadership change may not go off as planned. Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Tuesday that he had no information about the status of the leader-in-waiting, Vice President Xi Jinping, who dropped from sight 11 days ago and has canceled a series of meetings with foreign visitors. Xi, 59, has not appeared on state-run media during his absence and canceled a meeting last week with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Internet explanations for the absence range from a swimming injury to an ailment that paralyzed his face…"
From Habibullah KHAN in Pakistan: The death toll from a pair of devastating factory fires that broke out in Pakistan's two biggest cities – Karachi and Lahore – rose to 216 people on Wednesday, many of whom perished because they were unable to escape buildings that lacked emergency exits and basic safety equipment such as alarms and sprinklers. Such safety issues are common in Pakistan, where many factories are set up illegally in the country's densely populated cities, and owners often pay officials bribes to look the other way. The number of deaths from the two fires that broke out Tuesday night could trigger calls for better oversight of industrial safety.
Raffaele Sollecito has written a book, "Honour Bound: My Journey to Hell and Back with Amanda Knox." In it, the Italian maintains his innocence but admits he and Knox acted erratically following the death of Knox's British roommate Meredith Kercher, raising police suspicion. Their public displays of affection outside the murder scene and Knox's cartwheels turned the spotlight of attention on them. Sollecito writes that he met Knox at a classical music concert before spending the night together, one week before the killing.
The Cambridges are still turning heads on their second day of their Diamond Jubilee tour of Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. Today, the future king and queen are scheduled to plant a tree, visit a Rolls Royce aircraft factory, a school and a local neighborhood, attend a reception and watch a cultural performance showcasing the three main ethnic groups in Singapore, the Chinese, Malay and Indian communities. The Duke of Cambridge gave a direct answer to a question by a young member of the public in Singapore, where he and Kate are continuing their royal tour to mark Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee. A little boy asked William how many children he'd like, and his answer was that he was thinking about having two. He and Kate were also asked what superpowers they would like if they could have them, and William told the children he would choose invisibility. Kate said she'd choose the same so her husband could not sneak up on her. Bob WOODRUFF is on the trip.

Uhm, What picture?

"If guns cause crime then all of mine are defective." -Ted Nugent
What, did you sell some of your guns? Ya aint got much left. There is hope so do not despair, you will have the collection back up to 25 before long. Then you will be on the road to a good sized collection of handguns, the long guns are another issue alltogether.
Seems to me you have your bases pretty well covered. No go buy some more.
It is a very good thing. Narrowed down to 5 weapons. I mean SUR's AR 5.56 Browning Hi-Power 9mm 870 12 ga Savage 30-06 been gone through by Navy Armory. Sub MOA Marlin 22 mag All do their job well, All will be stored in the get away bunker on the farm. with excessive amount of Ammo, (if that is possible) extra parts scopes, food and water. you get the idea. I hope I never live to see a SHTF situation. Only immediate family knows of the bunker. I guess I'm just getting noid in my old age. BUT!
LOL - That's the bad thing about us gun guys, we spread like a virus and soon we infect everyone... LOL Nice looking collection, but Robo's got a point. You are a little short on handguns. You need to work on that. JD
Nice collection. You really need more handguns and a Glock. And I know Cane will be all over that. But in your bunker you should have tupperware
More Handguns, and there is a Colt gold cup, that I need to get back from Son, when they are finished with it.
