Fascinationby William Boyd
"Boyd effortlessly executes all the sophisticated tricks of conventional style even as he pushes beyond convention, taking liberties with language and proportion." Christina Schwarz, the Atlantic Monthly (read the entire Atlantic Monthly review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A new collection of stories by the internationally acclaimed author of Any Human Heart ("the finest storyteller of his generation" — Chicago Tribune).
In "Notebook No. 9," a film director's journal becomes an unintentional record of his obsessive love for his leading lady and the slow destruction of their relationship.
In "Beulah Berlin, an AZ," a performance artist, longing for stability and order, reveals the details of her chaotic life through her comments on such varied subjects as angst, hay fever, photography, baby names, sonnets, and tobacco.
In "Fantasia on a Favorite Waltz," a prostitute finds an unexpected friend in a young man who plays piano in a brothel.
In "Adult Video," we see a man's life in film format — rewinding to his years as a struggling student at Oxford, fast-forwarding to his dreams of success as a writer, and watching the present unfold as he proposes to his future wife for all the wrong reasons.
Exploring the ways a life can be dominated by a need for love and the torments that arise when love is misplaced or denied, these stories confirm William Boyd's reputation as a master of the art.
"Boyd (Any Human Heart, etc.) is difficult to pigeonhole. The 14 stories in this book include the supernaturally inflected ('A Haunting,' 'Visions Fugitives'), the Chekhovian bittersweet ('The Woman on the Beach with a Dog'), the PoMo urban spiel ('Beulah Berlin, an AZ') and the comedy of dogged lechery. The last is represented by 'Adult Video,' which, in journal form, records the infidelity of one Edward, a cynical graduate student, and 'Fascination,' in which the same Edward, married to the girlfriend he cheated on, bungles a brief foray as a freelance journalist by making a pass at a young interviewee. 'A Haunting' uses an old horror motif (a man is possessed by the spirit of another man) to illuminate the character of architect Alex Rief. While the story begins well, it concludes rather flatly with a pseudoscientific explanation. Dispossession is the more everyday horror that animates 'The Ghost of a Bird,' in which a Doctor Moran observes the brief recovery and sudden death of a young brain-damaged soldier, Gerald Gault. Gault, who published a short story shortly before being injured in 1944, has, in his brief recovery, confused his life with that story: 'what became real to Gerald Gault was a consoling phantom, a dream, an urgent wish.' Boyd's characters are, as a general rule, seeking — and mostly failing — to attain the intensity of some similar imaginative act. Agent, Amanda Urban. 3-city author tour. (Jan.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[P]acked with literary multivitamins....Boyd's writing is sharp, precise and often very funny. In this collection, it is also as diverse in tone, structure and subject matter." San Francisco Chronicle
"Boyd's prose style has the economy and power of a line drawing by Matisse....Forget epiphanies! The insights arrived at in Boyd's stories are experienced rather than merely witnessed. They strike deep, and they stick." Boston Globe
"Sly and consistently entertaining....This collection demonstrates Boyd's versatility as well as his virtuosity. He is as much at home writing about nineteenth-century Vienna as he is twentieth century Cape Cod." Sebastian Shakespeare, Literary Review
"Fascination is a must-read book. Every one of the 16 stories has the patina of craftsmanship....The writing transcends cleverness....An impressively sophisticated offering from a writer whose charms never wane." David Robson, The Sunday Telegraph (U.K.)
"[T]he overall impression Fascination gives is of a narrative-inventing mind humming hectically away, brimming over with ideas, one of which — the mind/body problem, perhaps? — must almost certainly be the seed of Boyd's next novel." Seattle Times
"The stories are perfect....Suffused with an understanding of love, desire, and emotional incompetence." M. John Harrison, The Guardian (U.K.)
One of the most beguiling storytellers on either side of the Atlantic delivers a luminous new collection whose 14 stories are a series of variations on the theme of love-and its shady cousin lust. A film directors journal becomes an unintended chronicle of his deepening and ruinous obsession with a leading lady ("Notebook No. 9"). While flying business class, a well-behaved English architect feels the chill onset of an otherworldly visitation that will shatter his family and career ("A Haunting"). An unhappy young boy, neglected by both his father and adulterous mother, finds an unexpected friend in an elderly painter ("Varengeville"). Wise, unsettling, humane, and endlessly surprising, Fascination lives up to its title on every page, while confirming William Boyds stature as a writer of incandescent talent.

moreThere is more statistical data produced in today's modern society than ever before. This data is analysed and cross-referenced for innumerable reasons. However, many data sets have no shared element and are harder to combine and therefore obtain any meaningful inference from. Statistical matching allows just that; it is the art of combining information from different sources (particularly sample surveys) that contain no common unit. In response to modern influxes of data, it is an area of rapidly growing interest and complexity. Statistical Matching: Theory and Practice introduces the basics of statistical matching, before going on to offer a detailed, up-to-date overview of the methods used and an examination of their practical applications.
- Presents a unified framework for both theoretical and practical aspects of statistical matching.
- Provides a detailed description covering all the steps needed to perform statistical matching.
- Contains a critical overview of the available statistical matching methods.
- Discusses all the major issues in detail, such as the Conditional Independence Assumption and the assessment of uncertainty.
- Includes numerous examples and applications, enabling the reader to apply the methods in their own work.
- Features an appendix detailing algorithms written in the R language.
Statistical Matching: Theory and Practice presents a comprehensive exploration of an increasingly important area. Ideal for researchers in national statistics institutes and applied statisticians, it will also prove to be an invaluable text for scientists and researchers from all disciplines engaged in the multivariate analysis of data collected from different sources.less

The Big 12 conference has been one of the most talked about conferences the past few years. There have been countless rumors of teams leaving, teams joining, and even the conference dying off.

Christina Aguilera and her boyfriend were arrested in West Hollywood early this morning for being SHWASTED. (That's shit-faced and wasted, for those of you out of the loop. The combination makes for a raging drunk not suitable for the public. It's not scientific, it's just a general feeling we get that determines it when someone is so drunk they have to be arrested just for being drunk. Ipso facto: shwasted.) Anywho, Aguilera was the one too drunk for public, but her boyfriend was driving drunk. Okay, have we learned nothing from ANY OTHER CELEB EVER? They've all carried out this common celeb fuck-up for you. DON'T DO IT. You're famous, you can afford a freaking cab. -TMZ
Some source blabbed to Us Magazine saying that Oscar hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway "hate each other." Well, let me just unpack this one for you. First of all, way to drop this "bomb" about three days too late. Second, I don't think James Franco hates anybody; he's too stoned to be that angry. Third, Anne Hathaway is too much of a Mary Poppins to hold that much hate towards Franco. If anything she probably just looks at him as like a stoned slacker little brother -- and to remedy that, I offer this: THE GUY HAS A MILLION JOBS AND HE GOES TO A MILLION SCHOOLS. Of course he'd need a little bit o' happy to help him get through that huge show and maybe it's a sign that he's trying to do way too much. Slow down, James. We'll still love you even if you only have two jobs. Hate? Probably not. Annoyance? Yeah, that sounds about right. -Us
OBLIGATORY CHARLIE SHEEN UPDATE: This morning on The Today Show, we had the pleasure (weird awkward, cult-like experience) of meeting Charlie Sheen's "goddesses." One's a "model" and the other admits to being a porn star and they take care of his children. He says they "get him" (translation: love his money) and that they work together like a family (translation: they do what he says because they love his money). And even with all this he's so delusional that he's denied help from his friends and family and he's ragging on fans who voiced their concerns on Twitter. Can we all stop caring about this? Maybe that's the key. Maybe that's the cure. Maybe we're so over this that we don't even care. -Today

A friend and I just did our second "ALL" grain on Saturday. On both batches we were shooting for a 1.075ish gravity. I don't have the data for the first batch in front of me but we got 76% eff. but missed the gravity because the wort was too diluted. We mashed with 1.0 qt/lb and fly sparged with 2qt/lb but spent so much time recirculating, that we let out sparg water cool down and was only able to raise the grain bed temp to 160. (and forgot to take a grav reading on the first runnings) The second batch was a porter and shot for about the same gravity. This batch we mashed with 1.2qt/lb and came up with 84% conversion eff. according to the first runnings. We knew that we would not be able to boil off the ammount of water that we needed. so descided to sparge with less water. This time the sparge water was the correct temperature but the thermometer probe that was in the grain bed didn't budge over 165. Not sure why but I think maybe there wasn't a uniform flow of water throughout the bed, thus not allowing the probe to warm. The Brewhouse eff. on the second batch was 60% according to beersmith. So if I am going to make a high grav beer am i just going to have to bite the bullet and use a bigger grain bill?
edit: on the second beer we ran off to quickly...probably part of the problem
Another suggestion that happens with a lot of AG brewers is check your crush. That can have a huge impact on your eff.
If you want to do a bigger beer and don't want to do a huge grain bill, ou can add some extract to it.
I don't fly sparge so I don't know how to help you with that. The best resource that I found was Braukaiser.com
- from Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas
what kind of eff. do you get with your system? and what are your mash and sparge rates? maybe i will just start doing it that way

looks ok to me, maybe white text would have been a little easier to read but i'm pretty sure the user would change that easily anyway
thanks! hmm…... i see that. what do you think about the timing?
Hmmmmm i also think so.
It's not bad, the color choice could be much better, that dull green just makes it look, well dull…
I would add some easing on the animation on the border of the box, it's a little too hard for my taste, but that's just me.

Planting Ranunculus bulbs
I have tried three times to grow Ranunculus from bulb and have not been successful. Does anyone know exactly how to grow this flower? I had heard that they were to be soaked for about 8 hours and then planted with the the claw like part pointing into the soil. Is this correct?
I'm thinking about buying more bulbs from Van Bourgondien but worry I won't be successful.
Outdoor Beds
1. Find a location where the soil drains well. If there are still water puddles 5-6 hours after a hard rain, scout out another site. Or amend the soil with the addition of organic material to raise the level 2-3 inches to improve the drainage. Peat moss, compost, ground bark or decomposed manure all work well and are widely available.
2. Site your ranunculus where they will get full day sun.
3. Dig holes and plant the ranunculus bulbs 2" deep and 4"-6" apart. The bulbs look like small, dark bunches of bananas, a curious shape that makes it easy to determine which side is up and which is down for planting. Tuck your ranunculus into the planting hole with the "bananas" pointing down.
5. After planting, water well, thoroughly soaking the area. Roots and sprouts will form in the autumn. Winter will bring taller growth and flowers will develop in the spring.
6. When in bloom, feel free to cut ranunculus flowers for bouquets. This will not hurt your plants, in fact, the more you cut the more blooms your Tecolote ranunculus will produce. So snip away.
7. After blooming has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year's show. Water as needed during active growth periods. Ranunculus actually prefer not to be watered while dormant.
This is from Easy To Grow Bulbs website
Here is a link that might be useful: Easy to Grow Bulbs
thanks Hopflower. I went to the link that you suggested and it spoke of the bulbs needing a cold period of several weeks. This is perhaps the reason I have never had success, as we do not have cold seasons. Do you think that a period of refrigeration would work?
I believe they like temps in the 50s to 80s F to grow and bloom. When we get days in the 90s mine die back. I've had good luck with allowling them to turn brown, then lifting the tubers and storing in a closet over the summer and early fall.
I had no luck with them until I was told to soak the tubers over night before planting. Makes all the difference in the world for me and makes them more pliable.
My favorites are the giant ranunculus....they are blooming for me now in mixed colors in front of the roses. People stop all the time and want to know what they are and where they can get some.
thanks everyone, I think I wil try them one last time. Our temps are usually in the mid 80's for most of the year. I will try to soak them and then try planting in plant pots that I will keep in the patio so that they will not be getting the full heat of the days.
I no VERY little about gardening (even though I love it), but I too am wanting to plant ranunculus and have been doing a lot of research. I live in MN, so I will be planting now and hoping they make it. Anyway, I noticed you were thinking of buying from Van Bourgondien. In my internet search I found a GREAT site devoted to ranunculus, I have listed it below. The gentleman who wrote it also bought from that web site and said that out of all his plantings (from different web sites and local stores) those did the worst! So, I just wanted you to know this and maybe that will help. I ordered mine from easy to grow bulbs and we'll see how it goes! I would love to hear how yours turn out.
I grew ranunculus in zone 10 (zone 19 Sunset) and grow here in zone 9. Never pre-chilled! We are talking about a semi-tender spring-blooming 'bulb' here, not those that need winter chill. Summer is their dormant period. My potted ones' foliage is just beginning to yellow. The clumps in the garden
are still in bloom.
Mild winters are a plus. Heavy soil or/and summer water are killers. I resolved both problems by planting in sun in my best draining bed PLUS in
2 heaping trowelfuls of sand. One trowelful underneath and one on top. For zone 10 they happily stay in the soil year round. And multiply nicely.
Plant them in the fall in warm winter zones. I picked up a bag at CostCo in the spring 2 years ago and had much poorer growth than those fall planted. Some never put out growth. Been too long in storage! Oh, and once you plant, one soaking to settle the soil around the 'bulb' and no more until top growth shows.
I used to grow them when I lived on the coast and they do not require cold temperatures. If you start with good roots(I can't bring myself to call them bulbs)you should be very happy with the results. If well grown they multiply marvelously. I always dug them after they died back and saved the roots for next year. It takes a little time to separate them but they make a lot of new roots for next year. Al
Mine are in bloom right now!
They are SO worth the extra effort. They are loaded with blooms and just so amazing with their hundreds of petals. They started to piddle off when we got a 'heat-wave' of 90* weather but now that it is back down in the 50/70* they are loving it and blooming like crazy.
I highly suggest this plant/tuber/root/thing!
maisaigon: not sure of your location, but the answer is 'yes', for R asiaticus. There's a strain particularly for growing in pots - Bloomingdale, I think. The flowers are huge.
I suspect the main requirement is to keep them cool but not cold while they come into leaf, then bulk up. And kept reliably moist/fed.
Over-potting is not a good idea. Nor is overcrowding - because they tend to develop grey mould if the air circulation is poor.
PS - it helps to make a fresh thread. Sometimes spammers hitch a ride on old posts - and we tend to ignore them.

Is it safe for me to leave the ranunculus mixed bulbs in the ground during the winter in Reno Nv.?
So long as you don't get bitter frosts and frozen ground for days. Otherwise - a cold frame, or cloches, or frost hats could be called for. Or grow in pots and under cover.
@Trove and Kerri Ann - I had no idea what to do when I planted my ranuculus bulbs this year and mine came out fine. I did not soak them at all. Simply put the bulbs in "bananas" down, watered and now they are about to bloom. Luck of the draw, I guess...
Zone 5, by the way. CT
All -
What about a spring planting in a hot area? Am I destined to watch my pretty little clumps of foliage stay as just foliage? I had the bag from Costco in my garage and never got around to planting until late winter (i.e. early March) this year, and I've got growth but am concerned that no blooms will show. What do you think?
They are short day plants - timing is essential. They must be sown in autumn, kept very dry, started into growth (by watering) in January, in flower March. After vernal equinox, they are looking to put all efforts into building up the tuberous 'claw' for summer dormancy. Wet is the killer. Spring sown bulbs are frequently a failure - not the bulbs or the suppliers, just the timing. mostly.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wall Street's current jubilant narrative is that a rush into stocks by small investors has sparked a "great rotation" out of bonds and into equities that will power the bull market to new heights.
That sounds good, but there's a snag: The evidence for this is a few weeks of bullish fund flows that are hardly unusual for January.
Late-stage bull markets are typically marked by an influx of small investors coming late to the party - such as when your waiter starts giving you stock tips. For that to happen you need a good story. The "great rotation," with its monumental tone, is the perfect narrative to make you feel like you're missing out.
Even if something approaching a "great rotation" has begun, it is not necessarily bullish for markets. Those who think they are coming early to the party may actually be arriving late.
Investors pumped $20.7 billion into stocks in the first four weeks of the year, the strongest four-week run since April 2000, according to Lipper. But that pales in comparison with the $410 billion yanked from those funds since the start of 2008.
"I'm not sure you want to take a couple of weeks and extrapolate it into whatever trend you want," said Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. equity strategist at Citigroup. "We have had instances where equity flows have picked up in the last two, three, four years when markets have picked up. They've generally not been signals of a continuation of that trend."
The S&P 500 rose 5 percent in January, its best month since October 2011 and its best January since 1997, driving speculation that retail investors were flooding back into the stock market.
Heading into another busy week of earnings, the equity market is knocking on the door of all-time highs due to positive sentiment in stocks, and that can't be ignored entirely. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX ended the week about 4 percent from an all-time high touched in October 2007.
Next week will bring results from insurers Allstate (ALL.N) and The Hartford (HIG.N), as well as from Walt Disney (DIS.N), Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE.N) and Visa (V.N).
But a comparison of flows in January, a seasonal strong month for the stock market, shows that this January, while strong, is not that unusual. In January 2011 investors moved $23.9 billion into stock funds and $28.6 billion in 2006, but neither foreshadowed massive inflows the rest of that year. Furthermore, in 2006 the market gained more than 13 percent while in 2011 it was flat.
Strong inflows in January can happen for a number of reasons. There were a lot of special dividends issued in December that need reinvesting, and some of the funds raised in December tax-selling also find their way back into the market.
During the height of the tech bubble in 2000, when retail investors were really embracing stocks, a staggering $42.7 billion flowed into equities in January of that year, double the amount that flowed in this January. That didn't end well, as stocks peaked in March of that year before dropping over the next two-plus years.
Arguing against a 'great rotation' is not necessarily a bearish argument against stocks. The stock market has done well since the crisis. Despite the huge outflows, the S&P 500 has risen more than 120 percent since March 2009 on a slowly improving economy and corporate earnings.
This earnings season, a majority of S&P 500 companies are beating earnings forecast. That's also the case for revenue, which is a departure from the previous two reporting periods where less than 50 percent of companies beat revenue expectations, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Meanwhile, those on the front lines say mom and pop investors are still wary of equities after the financial crisis.
"A lot of people I talk to are very reluctant to make an emotional commitment to the stock market and regardless of income activity in January, I think that's still the case," said David Joy, chief market strategist at Columbia Management Advisors in Boston, where he helps oversee $571 billion.
Joy, speaking from a conference in Phoenix, says most of the people asking him about the "great rotation" are fund management industry insiders who are interested in the extra business a flood of stock investors would bring.
He also pointed out that flows into bond funds were positive in the month of January, hardly an indication of a rotation.
Citi's Levkovich also argues that bond investors are unlikely to give up a 30-year rally in bonds so quickly. He said stocks only began to see consistent outflows 26 months after the tech bubble burst in March 2000. By that reading it could be another year before a serious rotation begins.
On top of that, substantial flows continue to make their way into bonds, even if it isn't low-yielding government debt. January 2013 was the second best January on record for the issuance of U.S high-grade debt, with $111.725 billion issued during the month, according to International Finance Review.
Bill Gross, who runs the $285 billion Pimco Total Return Fund, the world's largest bond fund, commented on Twitter on Thursday that "January flows at Pimco show few signs of bond/stock rotation," adding that cash and money markets may be the source of inflows into stocks.
Indeed, the evidence suggests some of the money that went into stock funds in January came from money markets after a period in December when investors, worried about the budget uncertainty in Washington, started parking money in late 2012.
Data from iMoneyNet shows investors placed $123 billion in money market funds in the last two months of the year. In two weeks in January investors withdrew $31.45 billion of that, the most since March 2012. But later in the month money actually started flowing back.

Short reed tuning...broken in guts.
Tuning broken in guts
Guys, seems a lot of people are have problems tuning a short reed especially with broken in guts and thought that I would take an hour or two of my time and help those people out. I will add pictures to try and help with the process.
First off we will work on terminology of the short reed.
*Barrel- The part of the call you put to your mouth
*Insert- the part you hold in your hands and the part of the call the guts sit in
*Guts- the wedge, reed, and toneboard that are the heart of a short reed call
*Wedge- is the tapered peice that sits on top of the toneboard and reed to make the guts sit tight in the call
*Toneboard- is the part of the guts that the reed dips into. (the part of the "guts" that gets broken-in)
*Tone channel- The part of the toneboard the reed dips into inside of the "U" shaped valley on the toneboard.
*Reed- is the plastic mylar part that creates the sound of the call
*"Groove"- the lines formed from the reed thus creating the "Broken-in" toneboard
One important part of tuning is when you pop the guts out put your thumb on the front of the toneboard and push down. This is probibly the best and fastest way to eject the guts from the insert. Also note that after a while of doing this your gut will wear and not fit in the call as good as they once did. Scott Thrienen's method is to turn the call around and push the guts out with a small doll rod. Make sure you never twist the toneboard out as you can break the toneboard and destroy a set of well broken in guts.
Now, once you have the guts out of the call inspect the inside of the tone channel to make sure the reed did not create any burs or any other indentations on the "groove" that could effect the sound. (this can happen if you bubble or crack a reed and keep blowing it.
If the toneboard and groove looks alright now you can begin the tuning process. If your guts are broken in you want to make sure you use a reed that fits the groove, if it does not, use a fine grit emory board to fit the reed to the groove.
Now that you have your reed picked and fit to the groove in the tone channel you can either shave or not shave the reed. Shaving the reed has both pro's and cons. For hunting I run all shaved reeds, in my contest call for the most part they are full un-shaven reeds.A shaved reed seems to have more buzz but lacks the full power you can get from a full reed. When shaving the reed I use a sharp pocket knife and a round surface to shave on (a 3.5" shotgun shell works pretty good). You want to shave in stages because you can always take more off but not put more on. Me, I personally just lightly scrape the surface of the reed and don't take too much off. Notice I did not say it was right or wrong to tune the call with the bend of the reed up or down. This is all personal prefernce and I personally tune my calls both ways. What I mean by this is that all reeds ,duck or goose, have a natural bend in them, to find the bend put the reed between your index finger and thumb and apply light pressure, the reed will bend and the side of the reed that creates the "U" shape is the up side of the bend.
To me, the bend up will make the call a little bit harder to blow with more growl,rasp, or buzz. The bend down, a little bit clearer and easier to blow.
Next step, starting to actually tune the call. Most call makers guts come with a line on the side, this is really a great starting point for tuning. And I confess that I still use the line when tuning calls and I urge most begining callers and call tuners to do the same. The line is pretty close to "medium" goose in tone. Put the guts (reed,wedge and toneboard) together in your hand between your tumb and index finger at about the point you "think" they should be and set them in the call.
Leave them loose enough to fine tune the reed placement.

You want to make sure that the reed is as centered as it possibly can be in the groove or un-broken in tone channel. You shouldn't be able to see hardly any gaps between the reed and the front of the tone channel. After this push the reed down into the tone channel as far as you can push it and let it come back up, if you hear ticking or poping your reed is catching somewhere.
If this is happening push the reed down into the tonechannel and with your other hand grab the front of the toneboard and slightly wiggle it once while pulling it slightly outward...this will stop the reed from catching. You still should not have too much if any of a gap between the edge of the reed and the inside of the tonechannel.
Now that you have them started in the spot you think they should be you can fine tune the sound a couple different ways.
The first way would be wedge placement. Wedge hanging out more will require more air but will have more rasp and buzz as well as a better bottom end. But if you go too far it will become flat sounding.
Push the wedge in farther it will require less air to 'vibrate' the reed but you will lose some or most of the rasp and buzz.
When you get the wedge placed where you like it take a marker and mark the wedge as well as the reed, this will take a lot of the guess work out next time you go to tune your calls.
If your call is too buzzy but blows about how you want it, take an old reed and stick it between the reed and tone channel while the gut assembly is still in the call. Take a fine grit emory board and lightly sand the side of the reed to help it dip even farther into the channel. Putting the old reed between the new reed and toneboard will help protect the toneboard from being damaged while shaping the reed.
If the call is too easy to blow you can slowly bend the reed upwards to increase the distance from the reed to the tonebaord but you want to take the part in small steps. The reed has a lot of memory and you don't want to bend it to far up, it will cause the call to be flat and require a lot of air to just "vibrate" the reed.
And of course a longer reed will be deeper in tone and require more air....shorter reed will require less air and be higher in pitch.
Everyone has their own tricks when they tune their calls.
There are also a few things I want to address because I see it on the forums all the time and at shows.
First things first, no one call makers calls are easier to blow than others. Some call makers tune all their calls with the bend down to make them easier to blow off the shelf. When buying a call make sure you tell the call maker to tune the call to your liking so it does not get a bad review from you or others.
Also, a call maker is not a bad call maker or his calls do not "suck" because the reeds break or bubble, this has been mentioned numberous times before. Reeds are laminated peice of plastic and after time will go bad.
I hope this is helpfull to some...if not... get in touch with me and I will help out as much as I can.
Appologize about the bad pictures, the screen on my camera is broke so I had to guess.

Nice job Wade. Best part is your mug wasnt in any of the pics!! Perhaps you could shed some light on the different shapes of reeds for dummies like me....For example, Clucker reeds are about the same size on both ends, but some GK reeds like the E3's have a "fat" end and a "narrower" end.....What will the different ends give me for sounds?

Different reeds and guts
Some call makers use different reeds than others. For example sake we will talk about GK Calls. GK offers E4 which is a standard clucker reed and an E3 wich is more tapered than a clucker reed. Other call makers use reeds that are wider or skinnier.
People don't understand the reason for the shapes of reeds. We will start with the GK E3 reed:
The skinnier profile of this reed allows it to dip down into the tone channel better than a wider reed which in return "cheats" the broken in gut sound without having broken in guts. With using this skinny reed I think you loose power on a call. *NOTE* I think that they would be powerful with a set of broken in guts but do not have guts broken in with a skinny (E3) reed. I think it is also harder to tune the call heavier with a skinny reed as opposed to the wider reed.
Both ends of the E3 reeds can be used in the Edge guts.
The E4 or wider clucker reed seems to be the standard in goose calls today. They are very verrsitle for tuning and sound. The skinnier tapered end fits into most call makers tone channels but the opposite end needs to be fitted for most gut systems.
One thing to remember is if you break in a set of guts with a narrow (E3) reed to stay with that reed on that particular set of guts or you could potentially ruin the guts.
The guts callmakers use are pretty similar in style but all are different in their own way. Here is a picture of the 4 type of guts that I had.
Winglock style guts (They were made by I believe victoria honker with the help of Rick Perry but I don't know for sure) Have a very slight angle and tuning knobs on the back end of the toneboard.
Grounds drop guts- these guts have a wider tone channel and also have more of an angle on the toneboard than most call manufactures. They are great guts!
GK's Edge guts- I believe these guts have a half degree more drop on them than an original clucker gut. But have a more precise tone channel which means less air will wasted.
Original Clucker guts- At one time or another almost every call maker has used this gut in their call...It was one of the first style short reed gut systems that allowed the reed to dip into the tone channel. The downfall of these guts now is that they are not consistant. You might have to go through 10 sets to find a good set. The tone channel does not fit the standard clucker reed well and does waste air.
Something I forgot to add in my first post was the definations of how a call is tuned IN MY OPINION.
Most contest callers blow a call that requires more air than most begining to average callers can handle. But I think people get mixed up on the terms of Hard to blow, stiff, easy, heavy, light ect ect. Here is my opinion
*Wasting air- If there are gaps between the reed and the tone channel air will escape without vibrating the reed
*Hard to Blow- Takes a lot of air to get reed to vibrate and to break reed over
*Stiff- call takes a lot of air to get reed to vibrate
*Heavy- this is the way I like my calls to blow--- Easy to get the reed to vibrate and has wider range on the low end but is harder to get the reed to pop over.
*Easy- l this and light are pretty close but easy in my opinon means most or all callers could pick it up and blow it and can do most sounds on the call.
*Light- light in my opinion is to light for a lot of callers who can not control their air pressure to blow.

A senior estimator is responsible for predicting the cost of a construction project. To accomplish this, a senior estimator must gather all the data regarding materials, equipment, utilities and manpower required for a given project, figure out how long the project will take, adjust for economic conditions and perform a cost analysis to produce an accurate estimate. Once the estimate is complete, the senior estimator presents the estimate to senior management members. The senior estimator may also be expected to work with architects and other consultants to find ways to reduce costs without endangering the success of the project and could be expected to take part in soliciting and negotiating prices from contractors and suppliers. Senior estimators will often work a standard 40-hour work week, but emergencies and tight time restraints may require working additional hours to meet deadlines. The bulk of a senior estimator's time will be spent in an office, but sometimes travel to work sites is required to meet with contractors, architects and other team members, and to meet with suppliers.Read More...
A bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, architecture or a related field is usually the educational requirement to become a senior estimator. Also, prospective applicants are generally expected to have at least five years of experience in the planning or managing of engineering design or construction, or experience in overseeing large engineering projects. While no certification is required, a senior estimator must be well versed in the construction industry and must keep current with the latest estimating technology and techniques.
Survey results imply that Senior Estimators put a diverse skill set to use. Most notably, skills in Construction Estimating, Project Management, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Excel are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include AutoCAD. For most people, competency in Construction Estimating indicates knowledge of Blueprints.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Senior Estimators, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $60K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $72K. Senior Estimators bring in $83K after working for 10 to 20 years. People who have worked for more than 20 years report a median income of $91K, which is barely higher than the median for folks with 10 to 20 years of experience.
For those looking to make money, Senior Estimators in San Francisco enjoy an exceptional pay rate, 34 percent above the national average. Senior Estimators will also find cushy salaries in New York (+33 percent), Los Angeles (+28 percent), Houston (+22 percent), and Sacramento (+19 percent). Minneapolis is home to the smallest salaries in the field, lagging the national average by 4 percent. A couple other locations with smaller-than-average paychecks include Atlanta (4 percent lower) and Dallas (2 percent lower).
