The X Factor
X Factor 2013: Demi Lovato Being Forced to Lose Weight? — Rumor Patrol
As we all know, Demi Lovato is a perfect queen — and everyone on earth should bow down to her. That includes The X Factor's creator Simon Cowell and his hilariously hairy chest.
It's no secret that Demi has struggled with bulimia, but word on the street is that Simon has requested (read: is "demanding") she shed major pounds before The X Factor's highly-anticipated third season premieres this fall. Oh no he did not.
"Simon doesn't expect Demi to be supermodel skinny, but he does want her to look like she's in shape," a source tells Star Magazine. "He's set a weight-loss goal of 20 lbs. for Demi and asked her to work hard on it through the spring and summer."
Weaves are about to be snatched. The good-ish news? Simon is "very supportive" of the fact that Demi has a history of eating disorders, and wants her to lose the weight naturally. In fact, Star's source reports that he's "going above and beyond to make sure she loses weight in a healthy way."
So, what does Simon have to say? A rep for this industry mogul explains "This is completely untrue and has been totally made up."
Thank goodness, because otherwise our finger would be wagging all over the place.

Cultural Capital of Kerala – Thrissur
A great man once said, "Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit." Not many places in the world do any justice to this statement. But the beautiful city of Thrissur is an exception. When I first saw this city, its beauty was so breathtaking that I just stood staring at it for more than an hour, not even realising what I was doing. So it would be unfair if I didn't share this once in a lifetime experience of mine with all of you.
The city of Thrissur located in the state of Kerala, is also known as Thirushivaperur. All of you must be wondering what the name means. The city is called so because it is believed to be the "Land of Lord Shiva". The three temples, Vadakkumnathan Temple, Kottapuram Shiva temple and the Poonkunnam Shiva temple where Lord Shiva is the presiding deity, do justice to the name. The mighty ruler Raja Rama Varma also known as Shakthan Thampuran is the architect of this wonderful city.
Now there are certain places in Thrissur which must be visited. The Kerala State Museum and the Kerala zoo are two such places. The zoo is famous for its collection of snakes such as Cobras, Kraits, Pythons, and Vipers to name a few. Also various species of tigers, lions, bears and birds can be seen here. The zoo includes a Zoological Garden, Botanical Garden, Art museum and Natural History Museum in its compound. The art section of the museum contains a collection of sculptures, idols, traditional jewellery and lamps, Kathakali figures, while the Natural History Museum displays a collection of various animals.
What trip would it be, if one does not visit the legendary Shakthan Thampuran Palace? A blend of traditional Kerala and Dutch architecture style, this palace was named after the founder of the town. There are three tombs here, including the tomb of Shakthan Thampuran. There is a museum inside the palace which has different galleries such as the Bronze gallery, Sculpture gallery, History gallery, Megalithic Gallery, to name a few. Also this museum would be a delight to all the numismatists as it has a collection of various ancient coins. The galleries also depict the treasury, royal bedroom, displays of weapons and stamps. Also there is a medicinal plants garden which has a collection of indigenous and exotic plants.
My favourite place was the Dream World Water Theme Park. It had everything from Go Karting to Crazy Cruise and Dream Splash and every other ride our young minds could ever dream of. Getting me out of this place was probably the most difficult task for my parents.
The Bible Tower situated in Thrissur is the tallest church tower in Asia and was inaugurated for the purpose of World Peace. The best part is that it can be seen from anywhere in the town. I was very shocked to hear that the building has been certified as earthquake proof by the Geology Department of India. Amazing isn't it?
About 63 kms from Thrissur are the Athirapally waterfalls, a feast for our eyes. The water here falls from a height of 80m and joins the Chalakudy River below. As my innocent brother rightly asked, "How can we come to a cultural place like Thrissur and expect to have fun?" and yet again, this wonderful city proved him wrong.
About 30 kms from there, is the Nattika beach where we had the time of our lives by engaging ourselves in Deep sea fishing, backwater cruise and elephant rides. If one has kids with them, two more places they ought to visit are the Peechi Wild Life Sanctuary and the Silver Storm Water Theme Park. The sanctuary is a home to a variety of species of orchids, mammals, birds, reptiles and snakes.
About 40 kms from Thrissur is the Cheraman Jama Masjid, which is considered as the oldest mosque in India. The unique thing about this mosque is that while other mosques in Kerala face westwards, this mosque faces eastwards. Also there is an ancient oil lamp which burns always and is believed to be more than a thousand years old.
Thrissur is also a home to numerous ancient and popular temples of Kerala like the Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple, Mammiyur Shiva temple, Thriprayar Rama Temple.
The Thrissur Pooram festival is one of the biggest, eye catching and most awaited festivals of Kerala. It's an inclusive celebration bringing together Hindus, Muslims and Christians. More than 50 elephants are taken in a procession through the town from neighbouring temples to the Vadakkumnathan temple. The celebrations commence in the early hours of the morning and last till the break of dawn, the next day. Phew, one long festival that must've been. The processions are accompanied by the magical effect of the combination of five wind instruments also called as 'Panchavadyam'. The fireworks at the Pooram are an experience beyond imagination. No wonder this festival attracts thousands of people across the country every year! This is just one of the festivals of this city. The list goes on and on.
The Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi, Kerala Lalita Kala Akademi, Kerala Sahitya Academy which promote literature, arts and music which attract cultural tourists are all situated in Kerala. Thus, after Independence, Thrissur became the literary capital of Kerala.
Apart from this, Thrissur is also famous for its Onam celebrations which take place in August or September every year. It is also one of the best places in Kerala to shop for silk and gold ornaments.
Thus, with its rich history, heritage and culture, Thrissur is one place which all of you can mark as a 'must go to'. What, with all the temples, mosques, churches, palaces, dams and beaches, the term "Cultural City" now seems like an understatement doesn't it?

I hope that you all are ready to stop re-hashing Granny and turn to other elements of the book by now. I'll have much more to say later (as will Tony I'm sure).
Can't abide people tellin' others when to stop re-rehashing Granny. We'll stop re-hashing Granny when we're good and ready to stop re-hashing Granny and not a moment before.
But your comments about much of this being Pterry's commentary on ethnic cleansing and the subservience of populations to charismatic leaders is spot on. Escrow is a microcosm of cities (and countries) that through fear and force, become sheeplike in their obedience. There is nothing cowardly about this--it's as basic as human nature and probably embedded in our 'selfish genes.'
BTW, am I missing something about you and Tony? You're in Tucson, he spends some of this time in Tucson. Out of the handful of Yank DW participants on this board, two of them are in Arizona? Is this a coincidence or something totally more sinister?

Makes about 2 cups
Combine yogurt, honey and cinnamon in small bowl; stir to blend. Place bowl on platter. Surround with fruit and serve.
Used any thick yogurt (liberte, greek-style, etc) plain and added the honey to taste, and cinnamon. Let sit at least an hour. Yummy! Can also add vanilla yourself. Less overpowering. Or strain the yogurt. The texture of the yogurt you use will determine the end result.

pollard should have been ruled off a long time ago . they need tofine him and suspend him .unessary ruffness for real. no they fine brady. what kind of bonus did pollard get everytime he hurt a new england patriot player. talk about the saints.
Originally written on Patriots Life | Last updated 1/22/13
This one little play has certainly gotten a lot of attention. With the final seconds of the second quarter counting down, Tom Brady scrambled, was surrounded by defenders, and then slid awkwardly with his leg going right for Reed's, umm, leg. The Patriots went on to kick a field goal while the Ravens went on to win the game. Apparently that wasn't good enough for some of them. First Bernard Pollard came out and declared that Tom Brady should be fined for this "heinous" act. Yes the very same man who has single handedly torn Brady's ACL, Welker's MCL and ACL, broke Rob Gronkowski's ankle, and concussed Stevan Ridley. That guy thinks Tom Brady sliding into Ed Reed is a terrible action. Well, apparently Brady thought it at least warranted an, "I'm sorry". CSNNE.com: "Leg is feeling alright. A little sore right now," Reed told WJZ-FM. "A little slide kick [from Brady], you know what I'm saying. But it's a tough spot the quarterback's in. You know, I understand Brady's point. Him prot...

permit cross-program analysis. One participant pointed out the significant investments being made by communities in developing their own evaluation tools and assessment instruments, and suggested that the development of common measures would not only save money, but also help consolidate the experience of communities in complementary areas. To date, that kind of exchange has been difficult to achieve.
On the other hand, it was noted that individual obesity prevention programs use different evaluation measures for some good reasons. For example, an important benefit of community-based programming is that it can be targeted to a local population and environment, and evaluation measures need to be tailored to this context. Participants raised concern about applying a one-size-fits-all measure to very different and often diverse communities. Even within the same community, programs serve different needs for different policies, initiatives, and funders, so a variety of measures may be necessary. Some participants suggested that the lack of common measures is a consequence of the multiple factors involved in obesity, including the community environment, physical activity and the existence of safe areas for play, eating behaviors, and access to healthful foods. This multifactorial nature of obesity necessitates multiple interventions within a community, which in turn may require multiple evaluation approaches. A further challenge to the development and use of common measures arises in multisite studies, where the comparisons across sites made possible by such measures may be divisive, creating an atmosphere of competition rather than collaboration. Another issue is how one can compare two programs with the same measures when the two communities involved started from different baselines. For example, community A may already have obesity prevention policies and strategies in place at the start of an intervention, while community B has none. If both communities are evaluated using the same measures, how does the evaluator account for the fact that community B has made fewer gains in obesity prevention because it started from a different point? The end result may be that communities with the greatest need are evaluated as less successful than their counterparts, and their programs are therefore discontinued.
To address this tension between the need for and the pitfalls of using common measures, several evaluators suggested developing such measures as a starting point and giving the evaluator the flexibility to incorporate additional factors so as to tailor the evaluation to the specific program, population, and community environment. It was further suggested that, through the formation of a working group of experts in the field and community-based evaluators, and perhaps through regular workshops and seminars, a range of evaluator perspectives and experiences could be incorporated into the development of common measures.

Turn the boxes into shapes by clicking a point outside the box then drawing a line all the way across it to cut off that piece. You're limited to specific types of cuts and, as the shapes get much more complicated over 30 levels, creating them with 100% similarity becomes quite tough. Slice the Box is great way to while away time in a relaxing, creative endeavor.

Nobody can bend it like Beckham!
That's why David Beckham's entire family came out to cheer him on as his team, Paris St.-Germain, took on AS Nancy-Lorraine. Victoria Beckham, baby Harper, plus Brooklyn, Cruz, Romeo and David's parents were all in the stands supporting their man Sunday.
David fires back at H&M body double reports: That's my bum!
In one adorable photo, 1-year-old Harper watches the game while her mum holds her. Victoria, 38, looks serious (but fashionable!) behind her oversized sunglasses.
In the end, David's team beat their opponents 2-1. The Beckham brood must have brought them good luck!

Does Iran's New President Open a Path to Nuclear Compromise?
Jun 19, 2013
Will Iran's new president defuse the confrontation with the United States over the Islamic Republic's nuclear program? Rowhani has the credentials to bring a new spirit to the talks writes Michael Adler in Breaking Defense.
Iran's Surprising Election: Has the Reform Movement Been Reborn?
Jun 17, 2013
With just about everyone expecting the need for a runoff, it came as a significant surprise when moderate presidential candidate Hassan Rouhani captured more than 50 percent of the vote. A late surge of enthusiasm and some key endorsements gave Rouhani the victory and seems to have given new life to Iran's reform movement. Haleh Esfandiari, the Wilson Center's Middle East Program Director, provides context.
Change May Be Greater Than Anyone Expected
Jun 17, 2013
By choosing the candidate least identified with the recent policies of the ruling system, a majority sent a strong message to the Supreme Leader and the regime, writes Haleh Esfandiari, in the New York Time's "Room for Debate" section.

Iran after Ahmadinejad: What to Expect From the Presidential Election
Jun 13, 2013
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has called on all Iranians to vote in Friday's elections. Last minute changes to the field of candidates and new endorsements for moderate candidate, Hassan Rouhani, have created "buzz" according to a journalist in Tehran. Will this late excitement have an impact on voter turnout, and more importantly, on the actual outcome? To gain insight into the field of candidates and the forces influencing the election, we spoke with the Wilson Center's Middle East Program Director, Haleh Esfandiari.

Report: Sunni-Shiite Divide Deepens
Apr 16, 2013
The Arab uprisings have deepened ethnic and religious tensions between Sunnis and Shiites in the Middle East, according to a new report by The Brookings Institution. The rise of sectarianism is being drive by three main factors: •Sunni Islamist ascendancy in Tunisia and Egypt •The civil war in Syria, renewed conflict in Lebanon, and unrest in Bahrain •Popular perceptions of outside intervention have created a "virtual proxy war" with Iran, Syria and Hezbollah on one side and the United States, Saudi Arabia and Turkey on the other
The Arab Uprisings in Iranian Politics
Apr 09, 2013
Iran hailed the 2011 Arab uprisings as an "Islamic Awakening" and considered the overthrow of U.S.-backed dictators a continuation of its own 1979 revolution. A new report claims that Tehran's goals are to foster political Islam in the Arab world and Arab independence from U.S. influence—both elements of a broader strategic narrative ultimately radiating from Iran.
Commentary on the talks with Iran by Michael Adler
Apr 08, 2013
Once again, talks between the international community, led by the United States, and Iran have failed to reach an agreement. Talks in Almaty, Kazakhstan, last Friday and Saturday, ended in a stalemate, writes Michael Adler.

Florida A&M University's famed Marching 100 band, which has a history of hazing, has been shut down until investigators find out more about how one of its members died after a football game.
University President James Ammons said on Tuesday he suspended all performances and other activities out of respect for the family of 26-year-old Robert Champion of Atlanta. The drum major was found unresponsive on a bus parked in front of an Orlando hotel Saturday night after the school's loss to annual rival Bethune-Cookman. Champion was vomiting and had complained he couldn't breathe before he collapsed.
Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said a preliminary autopsy was inconclusive and that more tests would be needed to know what caused Champion's death. But Demings said that investigators had traveled to Tallahassee and had concluded that "hazing was involved in the events that occurred prior to the 911 call for assistance."
In Florida any death that occurs in connection with hazing is a third-degree felony.

Here is a very nice quality 12.5 liter/3.3 gallon Lambretta long range fuel tank. Comes in powder coated mild steel so run it as is or scuff it and paint it to match the rest of your guts.
Replaces your stock air box so you will need to run a pod filter on your carb. Comes complete with tank straps and fits S1-S3 models. Use your existing rubber tank strap buffers when installing.
This one has a right side cutaway and is ideal for anyone running a right handed carb like on a Imola/TS1. Will not fit with Mikuni TMX carbs.
Great any stock or tuned Lambretta.

Citigroup alumn and current U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has claimed that if the ever looming threat of banking institutions that are so big their failure would bring down the economy is not eliminated by year's end further actions will be needed. Too Big To Fail institutions are even bigger now than they were during the 2008 crisis when Congress voted to bail the banks out with TARP because the bank failures were alleged to threaten the overall economy.
The threat posed by too-big-to-fail banks should be eradicated by year's end, and if not, more restrictive measures targeting large financial groups may be necessary, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said Wednesday…
"It's unacceptable to be in a place where too-big-to-fail has not been ended," Lew said. "If we get to the end of this year and we cannot, with an honest, straight face, say that we have ended too-big-to-fail, we are going to have to look at other options."
This is a somewhat new position for the Treasury Department as according to Lew's predecessor, Tim Geithner, Too Big To Fail doesn't exist. In theory Dodd-Frank ended Too Big To Fail, but as everyone knows, the markets don't believe it.
The 2007-09 financial crisis cemented the view in some market participants that the government would always bail out the nation's largest banks, due to the bailout schemes that helped big banks such as Citigroup and Bank of America survive the market meltdown.
"As a matter of law, Dodd-Frank ended the notion that any firm is too big to fail," Lew said Wednesday. But three years after Dodd-Frank, ending too-big-to-fail remains an incomplete task, regulators and lawmakers have said, adding significance to Lew's remarks of possible further action.
Aye there's the rub. No one in the markets believes the government. They believe, with considerable evidence, that in the final analysis the government will intervene to save the TBTF banks. One of the results of this perception is that the Too Big To Fail banks get more favorable treatment in the market than other banks.
And, of course, if the banks believe they are Too Big To Fail they have every incentive in the world to be reckless. Like the kind of recklessness that created the 2008 financial crisis.

GFF heartbeat
Published Jan 1st 2009
The articles published on the Global FlyFisher neatly ordered by year and month
Articles published in 2004
See the Global FlyFisher heartbeat
A long time ago we had a very popular eCard service on GFF, but due to technical changes we had to shut it down. Now we have a new and better service up and running with plenty beautiful pictures for you to mail off to friends and loved ones on the Internet.
Have you ever wondered why the newspaper has those solunar tables in the outdoor section? Do you fish for migratory fish and wish you could predict when they would be in the river and be willing to take a fly? If so, you might enjoy this book.
US based master fly tyer Bob Veverka has gathered together a whole bunch of very creative fly tyers to create a book that will appeal to all fly tyers, not just those who want to chase salty fish.
The Smart Spooler is one of those gadgets that you didn't know you needed before you got it. The Smart Spooler is aimed primarily at aiding fly anglers in cleaning their lines, but the neatly designed and sturdy tool has several other purposes.
The title of Dan Blanton's new book "Fly Fishing California's Great Waters" indicates it might be interesting to a limited audience. Limiting the scope of a book to one US state might seem like a very tight limit. But when that state is California things change dramatically.
GFF partner Martin Joergensen recently returned from a trip to British Columbia. Although he has promised to write up some text about the trip, his pictures are just too pretty to stash away for much longer. A lot more will follow.
Rio Lagartos is a small town on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico which is an excellent starting point for a tarpon trip. GFF partner Martin Joergensen's trip there didn't bring the big 100 lbs. tarpon, but many decent ones - plus the odd jack and snook.
It all started when I had to toss my bottle of Pharamcist's Formula in the trash. Scanning the net for a suitable replacement, I found a husband and wife team that are producing a bunch of interesting products for fly fishers and tyers.
It's for the trade only. Joe Q. Public can't get in. Before any trade magazine, before any other internet webzine... let GFF be THE FIRST take you on an EXCLUSIVE tour of this invite-only show. See who hobnobbed at the show and
"Your fly fishing life really first starts when you get a magnetic rod holder". Those are the words of GFF partner Martin Joergensen, who has used a set of Tightline Enterprises rod holders during this season, and has been very pleased.
The Hornberg can be cast out upstream and drifted as a dry fly. It can be pulled under the surface and stripped as a streamer. Is it a caddis? Stonely? A minnow? In early '01, a bunch of guys swapped their favorite Hornberg patterns.
I have admired Bob's tying for quite some time - as I always considered him one of those rare tyers whose flies are museum quality beautiful, yet they have the sleekness and symmetry of a well tied fishing fly
Kasper Mühlbach started fishing for chub with small lumps of dough as a kid, but has since developed flies and techniques to take this query on a fly rod. His chub patterns are simple and will most likely catch you roach and bream too if they are around.
Follow along as Harry Boyd takes us through the process of trimming the bamboo blank to the proper length, preparing and mounting your ferrules, and adjusting the fit of the ferrules. Many thanks to Harry for this well received series of articles.
Ed Engle has given us a real gem of a book on the art and science of small flies and small fly tying. Bob Petti thinks this is one of those rare books that will stand the test of time and be a major influence on fly fishers and fly tyers.
Question: What to you get when you combine elements of a Muddler Minnow and a Zonker? Answer: A Zuddler - an excellent steelhead fly. Joe Emery and John Rode have combined a zonker strip, a muddler head and a cone head into a killer pattern.
The two spots in the name of this fly comes from the bait, which it is supposed to imitate: the twospotted goby. Gobies - which are much like sculpins - are an extremely common kind of fish in the shallow parts of all bodies of water - fresh and salt, still and running.
Mark Dysinger presents a pair of pike flies that can take a beating - the Prince of pike and the Poxy Bunny. Large, durable and easy to tie as pike flies should be. Mark has used them extensively for his own Northern pike fishing
The most sought after pattern on GFF's search page is John Barr's more than excellent nymph pattern the Copper John. Martin Joergensen describes his version here: how to tie it and fish it. And adds its hillbilly kin the much simpler Copper Joe.
GFF partner Martin Joergensen has let one of his favorite sports events, the bicycling race Tour de France, inspire a way of tying flies. He argues why tying many identical flies can be a good thing - and can be better than tying many different flies.
Paul Marriner's Stillwater Fly Fishing can be recommended to any stream fisher who wants to expand the available fishing waters by orders of a magnitude - turn featureless discs into interesting fishing water. One of the best books on the subject.
A week of fishing in Wales and southern England: reservoir, lake, stream - chalkstream! GFF partner Martin Joergensen has been visiting Welsh Paul Slaney for a week of fun and fishing and meeting other Welsh friends.
If you had asked GFF partner Martin Joergensen a while back, he'd have answered that a book on web sites is a stillborn idea. End of story. Print stuff on web sites is bound to be outdated before the ink is dry. This book changed his mind on that.
This small article is a selection of questions and answers about leaders and tippets accumulated over the years. Martin Joergensen has harvested the most popular questions with the assistance of his fellow GFF partner Steve Schweitzer.
A few photos to give you an idea of how GFF partner Martin Joergensen spent his domestic fishing days in the first part of this year - primarily in pursuit of his beloved sea trout, but also out to get some pike and other species.
This is the book that soft hackled aficionados have been waiting years to see. Not only is it chock full of wonderful patterns and photos of well tied flies, but it contains summaries of all the classic soft hackle texts.
Three hundred and forty four pages of emergers in this new title by Jim Schollmeyer and Ted Leeson. GFF partner Bob Petti concludes that if you have an interest in emergers, get a copy of this book. Leeson and Schollmeyer have done it again, as he writes.
The Austin blanks from All Star Rods are quickly gaining a reputation among custom rod builders as being among the best performing blanks on the market, regardless of price. Bob Petti had a chance to build and fish a 4wt recently.
Through a standard called a web feed or an RSS feed you can now integrate GFF stories on your own web page. We automatically provide an updated list of new stories on GFF. This service is free for all interested web masters!
A great book about Victorian Englishmen hunting and fishing in Norway. This edition with the original drawings - with map and fifty-nine drawings on wood from the original sketches by the author, as it says on the title leaf - is global class!
A book called Salmon, Trout & Charr Of The World - A Fisherman's Natural History containing lots of tantalizing pictures and plenty text to have you reading for many a day at a bargain price. What more can you ask?
An article on the Welsh classic The Diawl Bach and on the intriguing and intimidating concept of fishing a team of three flies on a very long leader. GFF partner Martin Joergensen has been to Wales and this is the first article from that trip.
This is the second article in the series "Nymphing From Top-to-Bottom: The Untold Secrets". This article covers ways to get a fly to fish deep in the water by adding weight or using different lines and casting or mending techniques.
This article is the premier in a new series: "Nymphing From Top-to-Bottom: The Untold Secrets". Starting on top, strike indicators aren't just flyfishing bobbers; they do much more, if you know the secrets! Learn an exclusive trick from GFF partner Steve Schweitzer along with
Martin Joergensen's annual trip to the Danish island Bornholm is coming up. This year without GFF partner Steve Schweitzer by his side. Steve here tells the story of the 2002 trip, where they both indulged in fish, good food and friendship for a week.
This fly recently changed its name from The Copper Camel to The Danish Pastry Fly for reasons that are revealed in the article. It's an efficient and simple pattern for sea trout, but is very likely to be just as able to catch bass, bonefish and many other species.
The flats of Oahu in Hawai'i, harbor some of the largest bonefish in the world... although, Hawai'i isn't your typical bonefishing destination. Read why, how to do it and what you will catch
GFF partner Martin Joergensen took on the Mexican bonefish during a two week stay in Punta Allen north of Ascension Bay last winter. It wound up being a trip that was bumpy in more than one sense - both on and off the water. But with plenty bonefish.
Iceland is best known for its salmon fishing, but the island has some of the world's best brown trout fishing too... and arctic char... and sea trout. So GFF partner Martin Joergensen and his friend Asger Olesen had 5½ great days of fishing the summer of 2003.
The fly photo article series continues with a section on selecting a proper background for your fly photos. It might seem a trivial task, but trust us: it is not! The background can be everything from a uniformly colored surface to all kinds of materials in strange hues.
Ray Bergman is the originator of these three simple mixed wing streamers. The three were included in the updated version of Col. Bate's wonderful book "Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing". The combination of materials, the overall shape and color of the streamers really caught Bob Petti's eye.
A digital camera with a good macro facility is the perfect way to take good fly pictures. GFF partner Martin Joergensen has updated his now classical Digitizing Flies article with a whole new chapter on selecting and using a digital camera for fly photography.
This fly is kind of a coincidence. An idea. A fad. But it works. It is a funnel dun, Deveaux, Joergensen kind of pattern, which will imitate a hatching mosquito - albeit a very large one in the original version. It consists of two materials and is very easy to tie.
Does anyone remember the early to mid 90's? The rage in the US, at least among tyers of trout flies, was Polish woven nymphs. Fast forward to the dawn of the new century and these articles and flies have all but disappeared? Were they a fad? What happened?

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, commonly abbreviated locally as the Dem-Gaz , Demgaz, or DemoZet, is a daily newspaper published in Little Rock, Arkansas.
By virtue of one of its predecessors, the Arkansas Gazette (founded in 1819), it claims to be the oldest continuously published newspaper west of the Mississippi River; however, due to interruptions in 1850 and during the Civil War, and especially how the Gazette was merged into the Arkansas Democrat (founded in 1878) in 1991, that claim is disputable. (The Oregonian in Portland, Oregon, continuously published weekly since 1850 and daily since 1861, has a more accurate claim to this distinction.) The original print shop of the Gazette is preserved at the Historic Arkansas Museum in Little Rock.
In 1821 the territorial capital was moved to Little Rock, and Woodruff moved his Gazette along with it. The Gazette led the campaign for Arkansas statehood which was accomplished in 1836 and constantly promoted new immigration to the state.
The Gazette supported Texas independence and called for volunteers from Arkansas to assist the Texans and supported the Mexican-American War. In the 1840s Woodruff lost control of the paper and established a competing paper, the Arkansas Democrat (not related to the later Democrat in the present name).
In 1850, after the Gazette had briefly failed under its new owners, Woodruff regained control and combined it with his Democrat as the Arkansas State Gazette and Democrat. Later in the 1850s, under another owner, the name was shortened to the Arkansas State Gazette.
In 1863 Little Rock fell to Union troops and the Gazette suspended publication until May 1865 while Federal authorities used the presses for their own publications.
The Gazette and the Democrat engaged in a war of words that soon escalated into an exchange of gunfire between the owner of the Democrat and a part-owner of the Gazette.
Over the years the Gazette and the Democrat supported opposing candidates and took opposite editorial positions. Throughout the simmering battle the Gazette continued to be the dominant state newspaper. The Gazette was owned and edited by John Netherland Heiskell who guided it with a firm hand through most of the twentieth century.
The Democrat took a more segregationist editorial stand, but its photographer Will Counts took several important pictures of the crisis, including a famous picture of Elizabeth Eckford, one of the Nine, being shouted at by an angry white girl, later identified as Hazel Massery; the Associated Press declared it to be one of the top 100 photos of the 20th century. Counts also helped arrange the public reconciliation of Eckford and Massery in 1997.
In more recent times, the current Democrat-Gazette editorial cartoonist, John Deering, and his wife Cathy created a bronze sculpture of the Nine, entitled Testament, on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol.
Hussman vigorously fought back and was intent on becoming the state's largest newspaper. A war ensued between the two papers. The Democrat expanded its news operation, offered free classified advertisements, and switched from afternoon publication to morning publication.
In 1979 Hussman appointed John Robert Starr to the position of managing editor. The fiery and irascible Starr was photographed squatting atop a Gazette newspaper box with a dagger between his teeth to show his seriousness. Starr doubled the size of the news staff and concentrated on hard news. Under Starr's direction readership increased steadily. During 1980 the Democrat was the fastest growing newspaper in the United States.
The Gazette responded by hiring new staff, going to a color format, and filing a federal antitrust suit against the Democrat in 1984. The suit accused the Hussman enterprises of trying to put the Gazette out of business. The Democrat responded that it was only trying to remain competitive, and that none of its practices were intended to run the Gazette out of business.
A federal jury in the court of U.S. District Judge William R. Overton rendered its verdict on March 26, 1986. The Democrat was found not guilty of all the allegations leveled against it by the Gazette.
The Heiskell family sold the Arkansas Gazette to Gannett, the nation's largest newspaper chain, on Dec. 1, 1986.
Gannett had immense assets with which to fight the Democrat but received criticism for bringing in out-of-town reporters and staff and losing the local feel of the paper. The Gazette, nicknamed the "Old Gray Lady", became flashier but critics complained that the paper had lost the respect of the readership.
Over the next five years the two newspapers dueled. The readership of the Gazette remained steady over that period of time, but the daily readership of the Democrat went from 78,000 to 133,000 and the Sunday readership leapt ahead of the Gazette's 225,000 to achieve 241,000.
Many of the reporters and staff of the more liberal Gazette were thrown out of work and not picked up by the more conservative Democrat-Gazette. Many of these former employees were bitter at Gannett for their management of the newspaper war and angry at the Democrat for achieving victory. Many employees left for other markets while some who remained aided in converting the Arkansas Times from a magazine format to a tabloid newspaper in order to provide a more liberal weekly alternative to the dominant conservative paper.
In the years since, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette has maintained a higher circulation than newspapers in similarly sized cities. Many newspapers that defeated in-town rivals concentrated on reducing costs and reduced news coverage to meet their goals. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette has continued to balance quality goals with profitability. Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Greenberg was appointed the Democrat-Gazette editorial page editor on April 29, 1992. Griffin Smith, a sixth-generation Arkansan, was appointed Executive Editor on June 23, 1992. Both continue to serve in those positions.
In February 2008, State editor Marilyn Mitchell resigned citing a sexist atmosphere at the Democrat-Gazette. In lieu of a resignation, she sent an email to the staff at the newspaper with the subject "Fuck the Glass." In the email, she said: "It's a good ole' boys club...Male editors are allowed to talk about penis size during news meetings...Editors call Hispanics wetbacks in news meetings Editors are proud to call blacks niggers in news stories.

Current entities must play a key role in increasing the accountability that all industry participants have for the health of the populations they serve.
The future of many established organizations will hinge on their ability to absorb greater responsibility not only for providing specific products and services, such as procedures, devices, or pharmaceuticals, but also for maintaining the health of the populations they serve. As Reisman observed, "We have a completely new approach that is much more oriented for value. We're concerned about the overall health of the population—not just the people we touch, not just the people we treat, but the entire population."
To become more accountable, however, established organizations must become more agile and more capable of coordinating care across numerous providers and suppliers. Critical to their roles as coordinators, established firms must be key participants in identifying and refining the observable measures on which their performance will be evaluated. This process must occur in a manner that allows established firms to meet customer needs within the wider social, political, and economic contexts of their communities. "The common characteristics of all these things," noted Schlichting, "are multidisciplinary ownership of the care experience over time, great information sharing across all dimensions of care, a focus on the patient and family, a true measurement of outcomes, and a strong focus on improvement."

Jazz and 'The Mountaintop': Rep unveils lineup
Downtown theater to revisit 'Hammer,' stage new works
San Diego Repertory Theatre gave a peek at its 2012-13 dance card a couple of weeks ago with the announcement it would stage a revival of Luis Valdez's landmark, music-infused play "Zoot Suit," last done at the downtown theater in 1997.
Now the Rep has announced the full season slate, and it includes a healthy dose of music, as well as new plays that line up with the company's longtime reputation for diversity.
"Zoot Suit" arrives first, in a production directed by onetime Sledgehammer Theatre artistic chief Kirsten Brandt and choreographed by San Diego stalwart Javier Velasco. The show once again teams the Rep with young artists from the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts. "Zoot Suit" runs July 14 to Aug. 12 (officially opening July 20) on the main Lyceum Stage.
Here's what comes next:
• "A Hammer, A Bell, and A Song to Sing," November/December 2012, Lyceum Stage: What started a year or so ago as a musical tribute to the folk-music icon Pete Seeger became a broader ode to change in America as expressed in song (after Seeger expressed his own eventual discomfort at seeing his life portrayed onstage).
The Rep staged a workshop version of associate artistic director Todd Salovey's of "A Hammer, A Bell" last fall; now the well-received piece returns as a full, world-premiere production. Salovey again directs the actor-musician trio of Vaughn Armstrong, Dave Crossland and Jim Mooney, with musical direction and arrangements by Bruno Louchouarn.
• Reduced Shakespeare Company in "The Ultimate Christmas Show (abridged)," December 2012, Lyceum Stage: The original mad minimizers return to the Rep with this condensation of Christmas classics - the first official holiday production the Rep has done in seven years. The Reduced braintrust of Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor created and will direct the piece, brought to you courtesy of the St. Everybody's Non-Denominational Universalist Church.
• "Clybourne Park," January/February 2013, Lyceum Stage: Bruce Norris' play, the most recent winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, was conceived as a sequel to Lorraine Hansberry's groundbreaking 1959 work "A Raisin in the Sun." Rep co-founder and artistic chief Sam Woodhouse directs the local premiere of the piece, which chronicles the lingering, sometimes surprising legacies of racial and class conflict in a supposedly transformed America.
• "The Mountaintop," March 2013, Lyceum Space: Katori Hall is one of the most talked-about young playwrights in America, and the Rep's production - a West Coast premiere - is something of a coup for the company. After premiering in London in 2009, "The Mountaintop" ran on Broadway (closing this past January) with a cast that included Samuel L. Jackson and Angela Bassett.
Hall's play is an imaginative interpretation of the final night of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life, just before he was assassinated in Memphis in 1968. No director has yet been announced for the Rep production.
• "Federal Jazz Project," April/May 2013: This world-premiere work offers an intriguing and promising pairing: Playwright and Culture Clash co-founder Richard Montoya, who conceived and wrote the piece, and San Diego jazz institution and trumpet ace Gilbert Castellanos, who is composing and curating its music.

Bor — The Bishop of Bor Diocese, Rev. Ruben Akurdit Ngong, had thought the young David Yau Yau "was going to make a pastor" when he taught him some years ago but admitted "he has turned to a big enemy of his own country" he told Sudan Tribune.
David Yau Yau was studying for a Diploma in theology at Emmanuel Christian College in Yei in Central Equatoria State under Ruben Akurdit's teaching from 2004 to 2006.
"It is strange to hear that he is a rebel leader in South Sudan. We trained him to be a good administrator", he said.
Although he had poor academic records at the college, he used to ask us to pray for his community to change their mind from doing the called "evil things" in Jonglei, such as child abductions, raiding and random killing of innocent people, Akurdit said.
Speaking to Sudan Tribune on December 12, the Bishop shook his head in anger and disbelief when describing his former pupil.
"Yau Yau was my student at Yei. He could come forward and asked people to pray for Murle to change their way of life", Akurdit said.
David Yau Yau rebelled against South Sudan's ruling Sudan People's Liberation Movement [SPLM] after elections in April 2010 when, as an independent candidate, he lost his campaign to represent the Gumuruk Boma constituency in Pibor County at Jonglei State Assembly.
The SPLM candidate, Judi Jonglei Bioris, MP, won the race by a wide margin according to electoral authorities in Jonglei State.
Before he contested for the post in general elections, Yau Yau worked as Pibor County secretary for South Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Commission in Jonglei.
In 2011, he rejoined the government with his supporters and was made a General in the South Sudanese army (SPLA). A year ago, George Athor, who rebelled at the same time as Yau Yau, was killed by the SPLA in disputed circumstances. Athor lost the 2010 gubernatorial race against incumbent Kuol Juuk Manyang.
In April this year the SPLA announced that Yau Yau had defected to Khartoum in order to launch another rebellion in Pibor County, having asked to take sick leave in Nairobi.
Khartoum deny backing Sudanese rebels but the SPLA and UN have witnessed unmarked helicopters landing in remote areas of the county. The SPLA say these flights are attempts to resupply Yau Yau's rebellion.
In August, he sent his team to recruit Murle youth men into his army in Nanaam river at before he begun his insurgencies on civil populations and attacks SPLA bases in Lekuangole, Manybol, Kothchar and Gumuruk, Bor, Twice among other places in Jonglei, disrupting the inter-communal peace signed in Bor in May.
"We are really yearning for peace, but there is no way people can get it", Rev. Akurdit said.
Akurdit said "life would be difficult since this self-promoted rebel general is killing people".
South Sudan's President Salva Kiir has always offered amnesties to rebels in the young nation. However, calls for peace talks with the Yau Yau have so far been turned down.

Album Summary
- Alexander Melnikov (Fortepiano)
- Isabelle Faust (Violin)
- Jean-Guihen Queyras (Cello)
Notes & Reviews:
By giving the stringed instruments the status of genuinely equal partners with the piano, it was Beethoven who gave the piano trio the form it was to retain throughout the 19th century. This album presents the composer's last two works in the genre, Op.70 No.2 dedicated to Countess Marie Erdödy, and the celebrated 'Archduke' trio, which marked the final public appearance of its composer. All three eminent Beethovenians, violinist Isabelle Faust, Cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras and pianist Alexander Melnikov join forces here in performances that set a new standard.
Sunday Times, 2nd February 2014
This ensemble is something of an A team. All play period instruments on this alluring disc, making for some ravishing textures.
The Guardian, 6th February 2014
Melnikov plays a restored fortepiano here...and it blends perfectly with Isabelle Faust's wonderfully attentive, selfless violin playing, and Jean-Guihen Queyras's inquiringly musical cello..these three players pitch [the Archduke] perfectly, always listening to each other and giving the textures a buoyancy and transparency that bring something fresh to every bar. Fascinating.
The Telegraph, 20th February 2014
The playing throughout the trio is thoroughly attuned to the tone and emotional scope of the music, profoundly rapt in the andante and perkily whimsical, explosive and propulsive in the gloriously idiosyncratic finale.
New York Times, 19th February 2014
You might not think that a recording of two Beethoven piano trios could be all that newsy. But this one is exceptional. Three insightful and accomplished artists...give fresh, lithe and sensitive performances.
Financial Times, 8th March 2014
The first thing you notice here is the timbre of the fortepiano, lightening the overall texture: in Melnikov's hands it sometimes sounds like a gypsy dulcimer...The "Archduke" receives a delightfully intimate performance: the voicing of each instrument comes across with equal clarity, and the great Andante cantabile casts its spell afresh.
MusicWeb International, 17th March 2014
This new recording joins the others at the top of the tree and is worth buying even if you have one of them because of its unique selling point - the employment of a fortepiano.
BBC Music Magazine, April 2014
Melnikov works wonders with his 1828 Graff piano, managing to make it less clattery and more piano-like than in most other fortepiano recordings.
International Record Review, April 2014
A captivating performance ... recorded in very clear, natural sound ... This terrific new Harmonia Mundi disc can be recommended unreservedly.
Gramophone Magazine, February 2014
A cellist who tends towards introversion; a fortepianist who tends the other way. Put them together and something magical happens within the tensions they engender.
Recording information: Teldex Studio Berlin (09/2011).

The Remaking of Astor Place Is Now Underway
Construction crews have begun to remake the once-scruffy Astor Place in the East Village about five years after plans were introduced.
Once a broken punk boulevard, until recently a fake I.D. production center and, now, the home of Edward Minskoff's (widely derided) 51 Astor Place office building, Curbed noted this week that signs went up in the area alerting passersby to the imminent overhaul. Read More

Power stations, bridges, dams and a whole lot more big things: and the stories behind them.
Ardeer and the kink in the Western Ring Road
When wiewed on a map the Western Ring Road looks just like the name suggests – a ring around the middle suburbs of Melbourne, except for a major kink to the west around Ardeer. So why does the freeway take such a sudden turn in that area?
Melbourne's freeway 'ghost ramps'
Melbourne has the largest freeway network of any Australian city, and with it, possibly the country's largest collection of 'ghost ramps' – pieces of freeway that lead nowhere. So how many are there?
Forgotten manhole covers of Melbourne
Next time you take a walk around the streets of Melbourne CBD, take a look down at the manhole covers beneath your feet: there is a world of defunct names to explore.
Former GMH powerhouse in Port Melbourne
Welcome to Lorimer Street in Port Melbourne. Located in a suburb better known for expensive waterfront property, it is often forgotten that this area is full of industrial plants belonging to the likes of Boeing, the DSTO, Herald and Weekly Times, Kraft, and GM Holden. The last company is the topic for today.
Yallourn Power Station: then and now
Another week, another "then and now" blog post from me. Following on from last week's look at the power stations of the Latrobe Valley, here is a comparison of the facilities at Yallourn.
