Random, stupid idea- F/F reproduction?Moderator: BioTeam

I'm the exact opposite: I know little in all the sections...
"As a biologist, I firmly believe that when you're dead, you're dead. Except for what you live behind in history. That's the only afterlife" - J. Craig Venter
theoritically speaking, if both nuclei are capable of fusion and can undergo the first cell division, then I can't see why this isn't possible.
such cloning procedures will not be of any use to biomedicine as it will be only used for reproductive cloning where the "ELSI people" will corner experimentation in the "no no" region!!! therapeutic cloning wouldn't benefit from such a procedure either as the embryo's genome would differ significantly to that of the patient, and the immune system of the recipient would eliminate the transplanted stem cells eventually if not instantly. so I guess, no biologist would bother trying to experiment in this field in the near future, unless a useful therapeutic target can be named.
That and it has been experimentally proven that it does not work. Theory is one thing, experimental proof is another. Lemme rephrase...you can get it to start, but it won't end up the way you'd want it to. And it does it that way every time.
Re: Random, stupid idea- F/F reproduction?oh wow...datz a gr8 question...i guess it wud onli produce females...
if i tell u bout me, i'd have 2 kill u.

text: Prayers answered as Jacobite Amen glass yields £43,000 bid 12 November 2012Written by ATG Reporter One of fewer than 40 known examples in the world, this Jacobite Amen glass sold at the latest sale held by Halls of Shrewsbury. Named the Lennoxlove Amen glass, its provenance traces back to the Lords Blantyre of Lennoxlove, Haddington and their successors, the Bairds of Newbyth. It had passed through Christie's in 1947 before the late glass collector Edward V Phillips acquired it in 1986 from Asprey. On a plain drawn stem and folded foot, the 7in (17.5cm) glass was engraved to the body with a crown, cipher, a small 8 and two verses of the Jacobite anthem fully attributed to the expert diamond point engraver, Sir Robert Strange (1721-92). Bidding on November 6 quickly rose beyond the pre-sale estimate of £20,000-30,000 before the hammer fell at £43,000 (plus 17.5% buyer's premium) to a telephone bidder. The glass eclipsed two others sold in the late 1990s at Christie's; the Ker Amen glass and the Ogilvy of Inshewan Amen glass, which sold for £34,500 and £35,600 respectively.

Shopping Secrets
Simone Heng, creator of Dubai-based style blog cheapnchic.net, shares her go-to fashion resource:
"When Dubai's World Cup horse race nears, the well-heeled crowd rushes to Satwa, an area famous for its textile and tailoring shops. They're among the oldest businesses in Dubai. My picks: Nippur Trading (971-4/349-2446), a beautifully organized clothier with impeccable service, and Fida General Trading (971-4/344-4008), a trimmings store that stocks everything from glue guns to underwear. Always haggle; prices can come down quite a bit."
Global Tastes
Dubai is home to hundreds of international communities, which means you can taste nearly every cuisine, from French to Filipino. Sally Prosser, who writes the popular food blog mycustardpie.com, reveals her top dishes:
Shakshuka: "The original Dubai version of this specialty (eggs baked in spicy tomato sauce) is at Baker & Spice Dubai ($$$). It comes with a stack of toasted French farmhouse bread."
Chicken achari: "You'll find this slightly sharp, stewlike curry from Pakistan at Ravi's (971-4/331-5353; $), in Satwa."
Pani puri: "A riot of flavors: a crisp shell filled with sour tamarind water, potatoes, and date sauce. Get it at Rangoli (Bur Dubai; $)."
Shawarma: "The Arabic lamb sandwich—with tahini, hot sauce, and sometimes fries inside—is the ultimate snack. The best is at Anwar Cafeteria (Umm Suqeim; $)."
Crispy Hen's Egg: "My favorite item on the tapas-style menu at Table 9 ( $$$). It's poached, breaded, and served with house-cured pancetta and shimeji mushrooms, then drizzled with maple syrup."
Meet the Locals
Mohamed Parham Al Awadhi, producer and cohost of travel TV show Peeta Planet, recommends heading to the energetic Karama souk, where there are dozens of tiny, immigrant-run mom-and-pop restaurants packed tight with tables. "Chat up the owners," he says. "They've been in Dubai a long time and have wonderful anecdotes."
Modern Moments
Emirati retail executive and social media star Muna Al Gurg knows Dubai inside and out. Her tips:
"Switch Restaurant ($$) has futuristic, glowing interiors by Karim Rashid. The camel burger is the best in town."
"Before a beach day, check out Emirati designer Suhail Matar's line of funky men's shorts, Velorum, at O-Concept Store (Saladicious, Jumeirah)."
"Sure, the observatory at the top of Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower, is packed. Go, but make it a more edifying experience by visiting the nearby Ara Gallery to see the latest in Middle Eastern contemporary art, including the work of such rising talents as photographer Abdulla Bin Touq."
A Walk Through History
Visit the old quarters to find the trade outposts that made Dubai Dubai. Samantha Wood, blogger at foodiva.net, suggests: "Start off with a stroll through Al Fahidi's narrow streets and past wind towers (a centuries-old form of air-conditioning). And don't miss a ride along Dubai Creek in an abra, a traditional wooden boat."
Across the creek in Deira, Al Gurg recommends a visit to the glimmering stalls of the Gold Souk, where "the sheer volume of what's on display is amazing."
Also in Deira: the age-old Spice Souk. "It's touristy, but I love inhaling exotic scents from around the world," Al Awadhi says.
Quick Getaways
Explore beyond the city limits, Al Awadhi says. "Just outside Dubai, the landscape changes to sand, mountains, and sea."
Digital consultant Abha Malpani likes Bab al Shams Resort ($$), in the desert 40 minutes from town. "You can take a camel tour of the adjacent bedouin village."

What was your best moment of 2012? |
In May the moon came to its closest approach to Earth, giving stargazers an extraordinary view.
Couey merged a short exposure photograph of the moon with a long exposure photo of the terrestrial environment to produce this out-of-this-world image.
- mjponsford, CNN iReport producer
May 5, 2012 was a grand night for sky watchers. The moon was as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full Moons of 2012. The scientific term for the phenomenon is "perigee moon." The Moon follows an elliptical path around Earth with one side ("perigee") about 50,000 km closer than the other ("apogee"). Full Moons that occur on the perigee side of the Moon's orbit seem extra big and bright.
I took this photo on that early evening May 5 Moonrise in the San Diego State University area. The Moon never looked so beautiful and bright!

Joe Satriani is probably the most successful rock instrumentalist in history, having sold millions of albums and played to consistently packed concert halls around the world. He has maintained his strong musical vision, his own unmistakable sound and the utmost respect for his fellow musicians. He is almost certainly the most recognisable guitar 'voice' of its time and Joe is undisputedly one of the all-time rock guitar greats.

John Gwardyak is kind of crazy. Well, he's more than kind of crazy. He's insane, in the best possible way. So it's great to see him infecting his theater kids at Eastchester High School with his particular brand of loopiness.
To promote "Why Bump Off Barnaby?"—the drama club's fall comedy—they made a video.
Check out this video. The guy's absolutely nuts!

Whiskers on Kittens This was, without a doubt in my mind, the greatest Fall Comedy I've ever seen performed at EHS. That old guy in the smoking jacket was hilarious, the old lady who wasn't Jen Berger was hilarious, and the kid with the throat problems in the suit was funny. The only character I didn't like was the tall annoying blonde haired kid who wouldn't stop going "a dewdewdew" really fast. All in all, it was a fantastic show for the ages! Excelsior!

Deathtrap is a wonderful windup fiction machine with a few modest ambitions: It wants to mislead us at every turn, confound all our expectations, and provide at least one moment when we levitate from our seats and come down screaming.
One can still appreciate the professionalism with which Levin crafted them and the larky spirits with which the performers force the suspension of incredulity.
As a psychological thriller, it's not so much either thrilling or psychological as it is wonderfully absurd. [25 Mar 1982]
Deathtrap falls short of the classic potential it would obviously like to have. Still, it's a jaunty entertainment, by and large.
This is an extremely faithful film adaptation of Ira Levin's gimmicky stage play.
Deathtrap is slick enough that you can't disengage from it without missing something. [19 Mar 1982]
Sidney Lumet's wired-up, hysterical direction overwhelms the minor pleasures of Ira Levin's play.
Despite its intermittently amusing dialog, however, Deathtrap comes across as a minor entertainment, cleverness of which cannot conceal its essential artificiality when blown up on the big screen.

Rep Power:
Well, the story is more sad than interesting. My boat was in Key West, a very expensive place to truck from because of the limited hours when a truck can move and the need for an escort. Also, I really didn't want to deal with the hassle of having the boat decommissioned for trucking and then recommissioned on arrival. All told, it would have been an expensive trip. I've crewed on a few deliveries with a first rate captain, so I decided that a water delivery would be less hassle and less money. My friend was unavailable but he recommended a colleague very highly. Said colleague has a great resume and sounded great on the phone; said he'd delivered several 31s on extensive trips, so I hired him.
I knew it was not going to be fun from the first phone call I got from him when he arrived in Florida. First, this very experienced captain suddenly sounded like a constant whiner. He criticized the quality of the survey, the condition of the boat, etc., etc. But he set out nonetheless. The weather really wasn't all that good further up the coast and he probably never should have departed. Once a day, he called and began a tale of woe that made it sound like the boat was sinking. By the time he actually described the problem, it was usually something fairly easy to fix, or actually not broken. I grew to dread his calls, but did begin to realize that when he said the boat was sinking, he really meant that some minor line needed replacing. When he got to the north end of Florida, he basically said he wasn't going any further. He said he had a crew member with diarrhea and the head was broken (worked fine when I tested it) and a wheel pilot that was malfunctioning (there was a spare aboard). Plus, the weather was deteriorating and he would have had to do the whole trip on the ICW, which would have taken far longer than he planned (and he had capped his daily fee). Frankly, I couldn't wait to get home off my boat, so he found a decent marine on Amelia Island and did some decommissioning (some of which had to be redone). I hired one of the truckers I had previously contacted and arranged for them to pick the boat up and deliver her to Annapolis. Because of the weather, it took almost two weeks before she made it on a truck and to MD.
I ended up paying for most of a delivery by water (I'd already paid a deposit of about 60% and the captain sent me a bill for more; I told him I'd be glad to meet him in court), plus I paid for trucking and associated costs. It was an expensive lesson for me: everyone said to deliver by truck and I decided I didn't want the hassle. So I ended up with two sets of hassles and a bigger bill.
I'm sure there are good captains out there, since I've worked with one myself. But if I ever need to move a boat again, it will be by truck (unless a move by water is the only option, like to the Bahamas).
As I said, not so interesting.

Released: Aug 01st, 2001
Running Time: 85
Director: Mitchell Spinelli
Company: Rain Productions
Tanya Danielle, Steve Taylor, Violet Blue, Voodoo, Grace Harlow, Nicole Sheridan
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Stock for customers who like interview videos.
Tedious and uncomfortable interviews make every one of this video's 85 minutes stand out. The performers are beautiful and the action well-shot, but the editing between interview and sex is distracting at best. Blue Jean Blonds should have been called Lawn Chair Blonds instead, since most of the sex takes place on lawn furniture.
Violet Blue's scene with Steve Taylor is the best in the vid, but even Blue's perky intensity is not enough to raise the bar. The talent is hot, however, and that redeems the video a bit.

There wasn't heaps of animation, and when there was it wasn't great. I know that you know that the art isn't very good, but because of that I couldn't really understand what was going on.
I'm glad you noticed the animation, it was kinda shit :(
I loved my art and understand it, but of course I understand it, its my art.
Part of me wants to fix this story up with more understandable art, but most of me wants to think of this as a truly artistic endeavor :) This means something to me, and even if people don't see it, I see it.
But I know what to fix next time :3
Thanks for your comment :)
Rated 1 / 5 stars
Bare Minimum
I'm sorry but I can't give this a passing grade. If you're going to make a slideshow rather than animate something that's fine, but you'll have to have better drawn slides otherwise it's not enjoyable. I get the gist of the story, but half the time I can't tell what I'm seeing.
As for the play issue: there are some Youtube videos explaining how to make a "button symbol" and a short bit of code to type in the "actions" tab to get it running.
I had animation, it was slight, but it was there.
I found it enjoyable... I'm glad you get the gist of the story, that's something most other people never got for some reason. It's fairly simple: life goes on. People change, things grow and are unique in their sameness.
"button symbol", eh? Thanks! Now I know how to fix the fluidity with my flash.
Rated 0 / 5 stars
Dunno if anyone else is experiencing this.
All I can see is two rough stick figures, One saying 'Hey'.
Sorry mate, right-click and press play.
I gotta fix that, but for some reason all of my other flash autoplay, except this one. I don't know whats different, but I'm working on figuring it out :) Got some people on the BBS showing me things.

Spouse(s) | Felice Orlandi (1953–2003) (his death) |
Alice Margaret Ghostley (August 14, 1924 – September 21, 2007)[2] was an American actress. She was best known for her roles as nanny/aide de camp Esmeralda (1969–72) on Bewitched, as Cousin Alice (1970–71) on Mayberry R.F.D., and as Bernice Clifton (1986–93) on Designing Women, for which she received an Emmy Nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 1992. Ghostley was also a regular on the James Garner-Margot Kidder NBC western Nichols (1971–72) and the critically acclaimed variety series The Julie Andrews Hour (1972–73).[3]
Early life[edit]
Ghostley was born in Eve, Vernon County, Missouri, the daughter of Edna Muriel (Rooney) and Harry Francis Ghostley,[4] who worked as a telegraph operator. She grew up in Henryetta, Oklahoma. After graduating from high school, she attended the University of Oklahoma but dropped out to pursue a career in theatre.[5]
Ghostley first came to Broadway in Leonard Sillman's New Faces of 1952 and in the film version released in 1954.[1] She appeared in the 1960 revue A Thurber Carnival and in The Beauty Part (1962), playing several distinct roles in each. She also performed in several musical comedies, including Shangri-La (1956).
In 1978 she succeeded Dorothy Loudon, who had created the role of Miss Hannigan in the original Broadway run of the musical Annie.
A veteran of early television, Ghostley appeared as Joy, one of the ugly stepsisters in the 1957 musical television production of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein's Cinderella, which starred Julie Andrews in the title role. The other stepsister was played by actress Kaye Ballard. Twelve years later, Ghostley guest starred as a harried maternity nurse on Miss Ballard's comedy series, The Mothers-in-Law.[6]
Ghostley guest starred on the NBC police comedy, Car 54, Where Are You?, with Joe E. Ross and Fred Gwynne. She portrayed recurring characters on several situation comedies, beginning with Bewitched in 1966. In the episode, "Maid To Order", Ghostley played an inept maid named Naomi, who was hired by Darrin Stephens (played by Dick York) to assist his wife Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) during her pregnancy. Towards the end of the 1965-1966 season, actress-comedienne Alice Pearce, who was featured as the nosy neighbor Gladys Kravitz on Bewitched, passed away. The producers of the series immediately offered the role of Gladys to Ghostley, who promptly refused it. As a result, in the fall of 1966, character actress Sandra Gould assumed the role of Gladys Kravitz. However, three years later, in September, 1969, after the death of actress Marion Lorne, who played Samantha's befuddled but lovable Aunt Clara, Ghostley joined Bewitched as a semi-regular in the role of Esmeralda, a shy witch who served as a maid and babysitter to the Stephens' household.[3] Ghostley's character of Esmeralda was created to replace Aunt Clara's role as a bumbler of magic. (Coincidentally, Ghostley and Lorne shared a brief scene together in the 1967 film The Graduate, a few months prior to Lorne's death and before Ghostley was cast in Bewitched.)
Ghostley's "Esmeralda" appeared in 15 episodes between 1969 and 1972.[7]
During her two years on Bewitched as a semi-regular, Ghostley also joined the cast of Mayberry R.F.D., playing Cousin Alice after Frances Bavier's character, Aunt Bee, was written off the series. She appeared in 14 episodes.
In the spring of 1972, Bewitched was canceled by ABC after eight years. In September of that year, Ghostley was hired as a semi-regular for the ABC-TV variety series, The Julie Andrews Hour. In addition to participating in songs and sketches, Andrews and Ghostley were featured in a recurring segment as roommates sharing a small apartment. The Julie Andrews Hour was canceled by ABC in the spring of 1973 after twenty-four episodes.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Ghostley appeared in episodes of situation comedies such as Hogan's Heroes (alternating with Kathleen Freeman playing Gertrude Linkmeyer, General Burkhalter's sister), Good Times, Maude, One Day at a Time, The Odd Couple and What's Happening!!.
Between 1986 and 1993, Ghostley portrayed Bernice Clifton, the slightly off-kilter friend of Julia and Suzanne Sugarbaker's mother, Perky, on Designing Women.[8] She later played Irna Wallingsford in six episodes of Evening Shade. She also had a recurring role of Ida Mae Brindle in the sitcom Small Wonder, which ran from 1985 to 1989. Among many other guest roles, she appeared in a flashback episode as the crazed mother-in-law of Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur) on The Golden Girls. She made a one-time appearance as "Great-Grandma" in Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Ghostley also made a few guest appearances on the daytime drama Passions in 2000, playing the ghost of Matilda Matthews.
Among her roles in motion pictures, Ghostley appeared in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962),[3] playing Stephanie Crawford, the fussy neighborhood gossip. She appeared in the 1976 film Gator as Emmeline Cavanaugh. She also appeared in the film version of Grease as shop teacher Mrs. Murdock. In 1985, she had a supporting role in the Nancy Allen comedy Not for Publication. Alice played Grandmama in the direct-to-video movie Addams Family Reunion.
Ghostley received a Tony nomination in the late 1960s for different roles she played in the Broadway comedy The Beauty Part. She also received a Tony award for Best Featured Actress for her role in The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window.[5]
In 1992, Ghostley earned an Emmy nomination for her role in Designing Women.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Ghostley was married to Felice Orlandi, an Italian-American actor, from 1953 until his death in 2003.[5]
Alice Ghostley died at her home in Studio City, California, on September 21, 2007 after a long battle with colon cancer and a series of strokes.[9]
On Thursday, August 20, 2009, Alice's ashes were taken to Oak Hill Cemetery in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, to be buried with her sister, Gladys, who died on June 21, 2009. The Ghostley sisters were buried next to their parents.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz, Dec. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Wallick & Volk Mortgage announced that it has been named by the Phoenix Business Journal as one of the "Best Places to Work" in Phoenix. The Phoenix Business Journal, in cooperation with Quantum Workplace, surveyed Valley employees about benefits and perks, corporate culture and more, to determine the "Best Places to Work." The results were announced yesterday at a luncheon at the Arizona Biltmore.
Wallick & Volk qualified in the small business category (based on the number of employees in the Phoenix Metro area). After tabulating the results, Wallick & Volk was named 9th in the Valley for "Best Places to Work."

Employees gave Wallick & Volk high marks in areas such as health insurance and a 401K program. However, the most popular program appears to be a wellness contest that was offered. Employees were invited to participate in friendly competition to lose weight, increase physical fitness or quit smoking. Significant prizes were offered which enticed numerous employees to increase their overall health. Heuermann pointed out, "Helping our team members to improve their health is a win/win – healthier employees are generally happier employees. Our next wellness contest will begin on January 1, 2013, and we hope to motivate even more of our personnel to reach their health and fitness goals."
Wallick & Volk reports that this "Best Places to Work" award is a fitting end to an outstanding year. Earlier this year the company announced a year-long anniversary celebration commemorating "80 Years of Excellence" in mortgage lending. This summer Wallick & Volk was named one of the "Top 100 Mortgage Lenders" in the Nation. Additionally, numerous Wallick & Volk branches and loan officers have received coveted awards and accolades, such as "Best of Flagstaff" as voted by readers of the Daily Sun.
Wallick & Volk is one of the oldest privately-held mortgage lenders in the Nation. Based in Cheyenne WY, they are committed to the highest standards of customer service, knowledge and integrity. Wallick & Volk has grown in recent years from 5 to 20 branches throughout the western United States.

Reconstruction of a high-resolution image on a compound-eye image-capturing system
Applied Optics, Vol. 43, Issue 8, pp. 1719-1727 (2004)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1660 KB)
The authors have proposed an architecture for a compact image-capturing system called TOMBO (thin observation module by bound optics), which uses compound-eye imaging for a compact hardware configuration [Appl. Opt. 40, 1806 (2001)]. The captured compound image is decomposed into a set of unit images, then the pixels in the unit images are processed with digital processing to retrieve the target image. A new method for high-resolution image reconstruction, called a pixel rearrange method, is proposed. The relation between the target object and the captured signals is estimated and utilized to rearrange the original pixel information. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method. In the experimental TOMBO system, the resolution obtained is four times higher than that of the unit image that did not undergo reconstruction processing.

It was a beautiful spring day in Austin, Texas back in 2004 and I was on my way to pick up the Godmother of punk rock, the legendary Patti Smith. I was working for Sony Music at the time and Patti had just released her Columbia Records debut Trampin'. I was asked by the label to pick up Patti at her hotel, take her to KGSR for an interview with Jody Denberg, then over to Waterloo Records for an in-store signing. When I got to the hotel it was insanely busy and there wasn't one legit parking spot open and of course I was running late, so I parked illegally thinking that I would be in and out.
It ended up taking me a bit longer than I had anticipated to get back to my car as several folks who were staying at the hotel recognized Patti as we were walking through the lobby. She was very cool and stopped to chat with each of them along the way. As we reached the parking lot, the hotel manager made an announcement over some sort of loudspeaker that sounded like it was broadcast to the entire city. "The owner of a red Saturn sedan parked illegally will be towed," blasted through the air as if it was a public service announcement. Patti looks at me and says something to the effect of "I'd hate to be that person today," I looked back and said to her, 'That's our ride."
To make a long story short, I got to my car just before the tow truck did and we were on our way. Patti along with her antique camera asked me to stop several times so she could snap a photo or two along "the Drag" while telling me stories about her camera and even a story or two about her late husband Fred "Sonic" Smith of the groundbreaking band MC5. It was an epic afternoon that turned out to be one of the most remarkable moments of my career in the music business.

Hundreds of dollars in merchandise has been recovered by police after they arrested two women and a man from Beloit, who are linked to a retail theft investigation.
According to Darlington Police Chief Jason King, police were called around 1:30 pm on Wednesday about three persons stealing alcohol from the Darlington Mini-Mart on Galena Street. Police in Monroe stopped the vehicle after an "attempt to locate" alert was put out by authorities.
Arrested and returned to Darlington were 34-year-old Monique Banks, 40-year-old Felica Green and 33-year-old Andrew Banks.
Police believe the items found in the car the three were in, were from a number of businesses in different communities. Monique Banks and Green were released pending future court proceedings, while Andrew Banks is still in jail on an arrest warrant out of Rock County. The case is under investigation.

Revising and updating his classic 1958 translation, Paul Roche captures the dramatic power and intensity, the subtleties of meaning, and the explosive emotions of Sophocles' great Theban trilogy. In vivid, poetic language, he presents the timeless story of a noble family moving toward catastrophe, dragged down from wealth and power by pride, cursed with incest, suicide, and murder.

Author Biography
Sophocles first won a prize for tragic drama in 468, defeating the veteran Aeschylus. He wrote over a hundred plays for the Athenian theater, and is said to have come first in twenty-four contests. Only seven of his tragedies are now extant, these being Ajax, Antigone, Oedipus the King, Women of Trachis, Electra, Philoctetes, and the posthumous Oedipus at Colonus. A substantial part of The Searches, a satyr play, was recovered from papyri in Egypt in modern times. Fragments of other plays remain, showing that he drew on a wide range of themes; he also introduced the innovation of a third actor in his tragedies. He died in 406 BC.
Paul Roche, a distinguished English poet and translator, is the author of The Bible's Greatest Stories. His other translations include Euripides: Ten Plays (Signet), Oedipus Plays of Sophocles (Meridian) and The Orestes Plays of Aeschylus (Meridian).

Coors Brewing Company Boycott Another significant boycott was that against the Coors Brewing Company. The action was initiated in 1973 by labor unions protesting the company's antagonistic attitude. They were soon joined by gay men and lesbians, African Americans, and Latinos dissatisfied with the corporation's practices. Glbtq activists were particularly incensed that the brewery put prospective employees through a polygraph test to determine, among other things, if they were homosexual. Not surprisingly, Coors did not have an anti-discrimination policy, and prospective employees discovered to be homosexual were not hired. To enlist the support of the gay community for the boycott, union officials approached Milk, who agreed to encourage participation in the boycott in exchange for jobs for gay men on Teamsters Union beer trucks. The Coors boycott was joined by glbtq people across the nation. After several years of ignoring the boycott, the brewing company in 1978 made the minimal concessions of dropping the sexual orientation question from the polygraph test and announcing a non-discrimination policy. The boycott was still in progress when in 1995 Coors gave domestic partnership benefits to its gay and lesbian employees--a perk already enjoyed by unmarried heterosexual workers living with a person of the opposite sex--and began to court glbtq consumers. Coors became a major sponsor of Denver's PrideFest and began placing ads in publications targeting the glbtq market, including The Advocate. Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of then-Representative (now Vice President) Richard Cheney, was hired as a marketing representative to promote sales in the glbtq community. The Coors Brewing Company also began contributing to glbtq causes and institutions, such as a community center, arts and cultural events, and organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. As a result, Coors began gaining glbtq customers, particularly in the Denver area. The boycott remained strong in other areas of the country, however, as Scott Coors, the openly gay scion of the family, discovered when he attempted to buy a Coors beer in a San Francisco bar in the late 1990s. At issue for those perpetuating the boycott were the Coors family's foundations, the Adolph Coors Foundation and the Castle Rock Foundation, both of which provide strong financial support to right-wing groups opposed to glbtq rights. Activist Morris Kight, who was among the earliest proponents of the boycott, stated in 2001 that "the issue for us is that the money the family makes off beer is funneled into antigay causes." The conservative ideology of most of the family came to the fore when Pete Coors entered the Colorado Republican primary race for the United States Senate in 2004. Coors' support for a constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage revived interest in the boycott. In response, the Coors Brewing Company, in ads stating their opposition to the Federal Marriage Amendment, has explicitly disassociated itself from Pete Coors's support for the amendment. (Ironically, Coors' right-wing opponent in the Republican primary, citing Coors Company policies, has accused Coors of "promoting homosexual causes." Coors won the Republican primary, but was defeated in the general election.) Tourism Boycotts The lucrative tourism and convention industries are inviting targets when a city or state adopts measures offensive to various constituencies. Arizona's rejection of a Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday led to a six-year boycott of the state by many groups, including the National Football League, which moved the 1993 Super Bowl from Phoenix to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Before the United States Supreme Court in Lawrence v. Texas (2003) struck down all American sodomy laws, several professional groups refused to meet in states that retained sodomy laws or in cities that did not have anti-discrimination ordinances that protected glbtq people. Many cities adopted anti-discrimination ordinances in order to forestall such boycotts. In contrast, the city of Cincinnati, Ohio in 1993, with the appoval of 63% of the voters, adopted a charter amendment to ban enactment or enforcement of laws protecting citizens against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. As a consequence, many organizations have refused to hold conventions in the city. In 2004, the Greater Cincinnati Convention and Visitors Bureau reported that the city had lost at least $46.5 million in convention business since the amendment's passage. In November 2004, voters, at the urging of a broadly-based coalition of civic, business, and religious leaders, repealed the offensive amendment. The Cincinnati city council is expected to adopt an inclusive anti-discrimination ordinance, a move that will likely end the boycott. Colorado Boycott Glbtq activists adopted the strategy of a tourism boycott when Colorado voters passed Amendment 2 in 1992. This law prohibited local governments from enacting measures protecting the civil rights of glbtq people with respect to employment and housing, and it repealed ordinances already passed in Denver, Aspen, and Boulder. As a result of the boycott, thirty-one organizations relocated conventions scheduled for Colorado. These included the American Foundation for AIDS Research, the National Organization for Women, the American Association of Law Libraries, and the National Council for Social Studies. The organization Boycott Colorado announced an end to its operation when the Colorado state supreme court invalidated Amendment 2 in 1994. That decision was appealed, but in 1996 it was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in Romer v. Evans, a landmark gay rights ruling.

Anyone hear the latest on this yet? I know the work group was supposed to meet again today at the WDFW to discuss proposals. Is there anything definitive? I know it sounds like a forgone conclusion that the summer hatchery fish will be removed, but has there been any talk that the winter plants will stop as well? Also, does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm not sure what to think about it yet. I like the idea of having a strong wild gene pool somewhere, but it saddens me to consider that fishing this water (which is great fly water by the way) could be a thing of the past. I've been hoping that my son would catch his first steelhead on a fly rod on the East Fork, but he's still only 10. I guess he'll have to learn quick!
It's one of the few rivers in the area with a distinct and viable native run. Perfect candidate to cut out hatchery fish. Now if they were to try it on the North Fork--that wouldn't make any sense.
when was the last time you got a hatchery fish on a fly out of the EFL??? let alone a hatchery winter run?
Hatchery smolt to adult return rates are way down. Hatchery plants are way down. Not hard to see where this is going. Not much point in stocking hatchery smolts when it doesn't support a robust fishery, AND is detrimental to the native fish as well. Sg
Not sure if everyone has already checked out the latest on this, but here is the link: http://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/01559/ The only things that jump out to me are that it's implied that C&R fishing would only be allowed when the numbers could support it and that some surrounding rivers are going to get increased hatchery plants. My folks live in BG near the river and I'm happy to see that the runs are getting some serious protection and recognition but I'm also curious about how the local gear guys are taking the news.
That's the problem with no hatchery stocking. No hatchery fish, and no directed, targeted fishing is allowed on ESA listed fish unless they are making escapement and healthy enough to support a harvest, at least the incidental mortality rate of CNR fishing. Sg
That oughtta teach those Vancouver residents not to cheat on their sales tax! But seriously, it's not like there aren't other hatchery games in town. Elochoman, Cowlitz, Kalama, and the Washougal Rivers are all within an hour and receive pretty healty planting.
I grew up on the EF and have watched it go from a great producing river with that state record caught there to the mere shadow of itself. We all live near a river we like to claim as our home river which is what I call this one and it breaks my heart to see what has become of it. I'm pretty sure its all about the money and that's a whole other post but I am glad theyhave decided to finally stop dumping hatchery fish into it as the damage has already been done with the crossbreeding and all. I will never see strong returns that I was fortunate to witness in the 60's and can only imagine the runs in the early 1900's and before but I do hope the river repairs itself in time for mygrand kids to enjoy the Riggins tradition of getting up early on Thanksgiving to put the turkey in the oven and go up to Dole Valley and start fishing at the meat hole and work their way down to Lewisville Park or down to Daybreak and end up at the Arab hole or the cliffs and know the joy of bringing something home to share with on Christmas. Just sayin don't give up on her yet!
Umm rivers that aren't meeting their wild escapement goals shouldn't be open to targeting of listed species and no conservation minded angler would want to fish them anyway.. We HAVE to stop thinking that we have some sort or God given right to ruin things further.. As long as we view it as a resource to exploit no restoration will take place.. Sure we can do habitat work sure we can alter hatchery programs but those are symptoms of our lack of commitment. We don't need a change of behavior we need a change of mindset that leads to a changed way of living. Catch and release fishing is the benefit we get AFTER we do the hard work of restoration not a right we should exercise whether restoration takes place or not.
maybe i misunderstood. i thought he was suggesting that removing the hatchery fish was a bad idea because it would eliminate cnr.
I think you guys are reacting to Sg's response to my post about CNR being off the table. I didn't say it was a problem or that we have a right to CNR wild fish and the comment I sent to WDFW reflects this. I was merely reflecting on some changes to the only river I've had a chance to fish when I'm in town, changes that I fully support and that I hope set a new example for recovery efforts.
My comments were intended to point out that hatchery stocking programs that don't return enough adult fish to support a decent fishery are not worth the expense. And then, considering that we know hatchery programs don't benefit wild fish, even though they may also not do nearly so much harm as alleged by some, there is no ecological justification and really no social or economic justification either. The downside, from a recreational angling point of view - and I try to consider as many reasonable points of view as I can, unlike Rob - is that when a stream has no hatchery run, and the wild run is depressed below minimum spawning escapement levels, then that stream is removed from the list of streams available for fishing. Ecologically this should be good. From a social and economic perspective, having fewer places available for fishing is never good. I said that this should be good ecologically because I can't document any benefit a hatchery program provides to a wild fish population. And it normally causes some harm simply because there is more fishing going on, and it's impossible to say that fishing is good for fish, when one considers the fish's point of view. However, much of anti-hatchery effort that is going on is poorly supported, or unsupported by evidence, while there is much evidence where wild stocks have done well in the same systems where hatchery programs existed. This ain't an easy nut to crack, and simple black and white answers tend to be more simple than accurate. Sg
I just do not agree that in light of all we have done to our rivers and our fish that resource exploiters have a reasonable point of view. That's probably not a feasible political view it is none the less the truth. With all the destruction we have caused it is unreasonable to expect to be able to do more exploitation.

Rob can define how a CnR angler exploits a resource?
As Salmo G pointed out in no way could angling be considered good for our wild stocks. I have nothing against catch and release fishing at all but we need to approach situations like this with the mindset that restoration needs to take place first. We are talking about small populations of fish. Like it or not even with our best efforts there is some mortality associated with catch and release fishing even with single barbless hooks and artificial lures. The Wind river is a perfect example the last few seasons it has been open for a short fall season with all the standard precautions. This year it had to be closed because the population of fish did not return sufficiently. I only suggest that until The EFL is deemed to be able to withstand a catch and release season there is no reason for it to be open to fishing. Even if that means it is never open again. That goes for every river with small populations of fish.
