It is not the training that is bullsit. It is the course. YOu don't need to spend all that money to learn calestenics that were taught to you in 3rd grade. Just be creative. Bodyweight excersises are better than weight lifting. Any way you look at it. Matt Furey's stuff is great. But not for the price. YOu don't need to buy the program. You can search enought and find it all for free. Go to lockflow.com. Its all on their. It works good.

"only $697 plus shipping."
Wow its like stupid tax!
"If these victims had known just one simple Lightning Ju-Jitsu move they could have saved themselves, by destroying their enemy."
I wonder what the families of the victims would say to that?

WTF? "Now You Can Get the Same Powerful Ju-Jitsu Secrets Elite US Troops Used to Win World War II" At what point during WWII did US, Nazi, and japanese troops say "**** fire arms" and decided that the remainder of the war would be decided by JJ matches to the death?

Funny because you can go to any bookstore and buy better books for learning combat. I have a navy seal combat manual....my dad was marine recon....and they don't have **** in their about hand to hand combat. Just some hokey stuff about creeping up on someone and stuffing a knife in the base of someone's skull. No jiu-jitsu, no ju-jitsu, no kickboxing, and in WW2 they still thought that a karate chop to the kneck would kill someone. Did you know that in WW2 the japaneese actually shortened their bayonetts so that when they stabbed and American it wouldn't kill him. They knew that if one went down then 2 would go down trying to help him get out but if they killed him then everyone would go on fighting. Thats a WW2 Japanese ju-jitsu secret for free. If you want more then e-mail me with your credit card number and for $49.99 a month, I'll send you more. Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.

Of course. There's kata now and it develops character!

If John McCain's double standard on clean fuel -- opposing government support that "picks winners" among to renewable fuels, but favoring aid for clean coal -- seems familiar, that may be because it's been embraced by the current occupant of the Oval Office.
In April, President Bush announced an extremely modest proposal "to stop the growth of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2025." There is, he said, "a wrong way and a right way to approach reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
The wrong way is to jeopardize our energy and economic security by abandoning nuclear power and our nation's huge reserves of coal. The right way is to promote more emission-free nuclear power and encourage the investments necessary to produce electricity from coal without releasing carbon into the air.
On the other hand, "the incentive should be technology-neutral because the government should not be picking winners and losers in this emerging market."
As Bradford Plumer wrote that day in The Vine, the New Republic's energy and environment blog: "So the government shouldn't pick winners and losers, so long as coal and nuclear are winners. Nice."
Nice, indeed.

CLEVELAND -- Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Dick Ambrose ruled Tuesday afternoon that convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell will not get a new trial.
Attorneys for Sowell, who left the remains of 11 women in and around his Imperial Avenue home, asked for a new trial because of comments made by the jury forewoman.
After the trial was over, she told reporters that, after jurors recommended the death penalty, that Sowell winked at her in what she believed was an attempt to win favorable treatment.
Lawyers for the Sowell, 52, argued that the juror may have developed a bias against the suspect even before testimony began.
Ambrose accepted the jury's recommendation earlier this month and sentenced Sowell to die on Oct. 29, 2012.
The 11 victims' remains began to be found one by one at Sowell's Imperial Avenue home starting on Oct. 29, 2009.
The conviction and death sentence are automatically appealed to the state Supreme Court.

Police said a man is on the run after wrestling and robbing a female clerk at a storage facility in Jacinto City.
It happened in the 10900 block of the East Freeway on Thursday.
Surveillance video showed the man first pretending to be a customer. Then, he walked around behind the counter, put the woman in a head lock, pointed a gun in her face and then forced her to open the register.
Officials said the man walked out of the store and headed east on the feeder road.
Police said the clerk was terrified, but fortunately, she not physically hurt.
If you recognize the man, you're asked to call Jacinto City police at 713-672-2455.

Karl Lagerfeld is 'Physically Allergic to Flip-Flops'
Nobody does disdain quite like Karl Lagerfeld. The fashion scion recently chatted with the newly relaunched M magazine, sharing some of his deepest aversions. Among them? Flip-flops ("I hate sloppy footwear. What I hate most is flip-flops. I am physically allergic to flip-flops,"), tattoos ("it's like living in a Pucci dress full-time") and last but not least, the wrong winter coat with a suit.
"I remember one time in winter in 1956 -– it was beyond cold. And I went to see my father at the George V with only a suit on," Lagerfeld recalls. "He said to me, 'But you will die! You will get pneumonia!' And I said, 'I prefer to die than to wear another coat than the robe style in blue cashmere in the Dorian Gray window. If not that one, I prefer to freeze.' So he bought the coat." And then Karl hypnotized his father, stole his pet kitten and gave him a complex about his weight. (Fine, we made that last part up.) (Celebitchy)

The Federal Open Market Committee unanimously agreed to keep the federal
funds rate at 5.25% — that's exactly where its been since the June 2006 FOMC.
The Fed statement said the economy "slowed" versus prior statements in the
first part of the year. Previously,the Fed described the economy as
The Fed repeated that the housing adjustment is "ongoing;" the likeliest scenario remains "moderate" growth; core inflation remains "somewhat elevated"
but should come down. Also of note: High resource utilization remains an inflation threat.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has issued the
following press release: FOMC statement

42 Responses to "FOMC: Nothing Done"
Did you put up the graphic twice in homage to the repeated phrase in the statement? "Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were:Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were:" (from The Mess That Greenspan Made")
This is like reporting that the statue in Central Park did not move again today.
When the object of the report has no choice, the decision ain't really news, now is it?
Something very big was done.
They said that they won't lower rates despite a slowing economy.
This is a dramatic statement.
Instead of fighting inflation, Fed policy is now to allow the real economy to slow until it takes down the excesses in the financial markets.
They have now publicly taken a stance against liquidity and speculation. The inflation talk, again, is just a diversion.
I think they should have raised rates, but this is the next best thing.
Here are some interesting figures.
The Fed's power is to manipulate excess reserves. The largest single day drain in the last year was $20B. Typcially, the infusions and drains run in the $5-10B range.
FCBs, however, hold $2.2 TRILLION in U.S. debt, and $702 billion in Fannie Mae and Freddit Mac paper alone – 49% of the total paper of these GSEs.
Now I ask – who again is in charge?
Question for Eclectic: what power will the FCBs acquire when they become "majority stockholders" of GSE debt?
BTW, for some context, read this:
The housing market needs lower rates right now. What do you think is going to happen to housing starts and construction employment given the homebuilder sentiment expressed above and the Fed decision not to lower rates?
Perhaps I'm giving Bernanke too much credit, but this is starting to look more like a Paul Volcker style "exorcism by recession" as opposed to a Greenspan easy money style coddling.
What you would expect when one is between a rock and a hard place although to me what's most unbelievable is that interest rates are still extremely low in an environment where we have double digit credit growth, and yet the Fed can't bring itself to face the rampant inflation in all asset classes and move a friggin' quarter point. Breathtaking.
Of course the Fed can't raise rates – have you looked at bond yields lately? Does anyone really believe that a $45 TRILLION worldwide bond market gives a rats ass what Bernanke, with only his few billions to toss around, does with Fed rates?
Has anyone looked at the housing bubble in Brittain? This money supply problem is global and it is massive – the U.S. is a small-time player compared to the rest.
However, I think super-anon is on the right track and his statement is what I alluded to in another post – that Ben is using the only bullet in his gun by holding rates, hoping to slowly contract the money supply.
Note to Ben: Ain't gonna happen.
Note to Ben: Ain't gonna happen.
I think we need lots and lots of rate hikes, however the only reason I think keeping rates steady might be enough is because of what I'm seeing in my home town.
This morning they just announced the shutdown of three auto-related manufacturing plants in June (this is on the East coast BTW). Something I believe is related to the housing bust.
And the local housing market is turning into an absolute slaughter. 5x as many houses for sale as 18 months ago. And they're selling new 2900 sq/ft for what 1800 sq/ft condos were selling for in Aug 2005.
Maybe that's not representative of what's going on elsewhere, but here the real economy is collapsing along with housing.
People I work with are getting scared. It looks really really bad.
super-anon… you have a link on those shutdowns… don't have to tell us where you live or details… just local media reports if you can find them (best if NOT subscription).
I'm in mfg & try to keep track of that kind of stuff but NOT east coast.
I've also seen that NY prices are starting to slide.
I said this the other day and will say it again – when Goldman Sachs starts whining for rate cuts the recession has begun.
It would come as no shock to me to see that future revisions show the second quarter of 2007 is when the 2007-2009 recession started.
And in 2009-2010 things may get even worse. Why? Peak oil.
Consider this from James Kunstler of The Daily Reckoning: "Me, I'm keeping my eye on things like the production figures coming out of Mexico, the North Sea, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They're all sliding down. Mexico is especially interesting because it is our Number 3 source of oil imports and its production is crashing so hard that a couple of years from now it may not be able to send us a single drop of oil."
No oil=no enonomy.
I seem to be a pretty consistent doom and gloomer, but this is the first time in my 56 years of life that I have adopted this attitude. I never bought any of the doom and gloom books or listened to the "gold bug" kooks.
But, you know, Krakatoa doesn't erupt every day; a tsunami does crash into Indonesia weekly; and a "perfect storm" doesn't menace New England each month. It takes time for these types of forces to build.
There is valid reason now to be concerned, and to turn a blind eye to the potential is to me to be somewhat naive.
When the ocean unexpectedly recedes and uncovers previously sunken pieces of eight, it isn't the time to rush to the beach and try to get rich – unless you just want an expensive funeral.
Does anyone know what data points they are using when they say inflation will likely moderate over time? They've been saying that since last May and I don't think food prices were part of the mix last summer.
Ethanol effect on food prices is a recent development (and not a small one either) and I'm not sure what they are seeing to suggest core inflation will moderate over time.
If input prices were dropping, I could understand the theory that overall price increases could soon moderate. But with the value of the dollar so low and food and energy prices rising, I'm not sure how those dots are being connected.
Maybe it's semantics at this point, because the inflation I see and pay are not the same thing as the inflation they report. So maybe we need to have two categories of inflation in our discussion: the kind that is paid by consumers/businesses and the other kind that is reported by the BLS.
There is a reason oil is having a problem getting above $70. That is about the price point that competing technologies become lucrative. One that jumps immediately to mind is coal gasification technology
Peak oil? That is so last year. Don't you know the current fad crisis is SARS, I mean bird flu…..uhhhh wait a minute, I mean global warming. Yeah, that's it, global warming.
We need to save the planet or tens of thousands of humans will starve to death daily. Wait a minute, tens of thousands of humans are starving to death for want of a few dozen billion$ today!
Where is that on the 'crisis' propaganda blitz schedule? I don't see it anywhere in the media guide
Super-anon, where does it say they will not lower rates……just asking as I can't see it.
DavidB, you sure are flippant about energy. Leads me to believe you don't understand it very well.
Coal gassification requires billions of dollars of capital costs. A CTL plant announced tomorrow would not be ready for years. Years with an S. And you think this is what is keeping the price of oil per barrel capped at $70. LOL
As for peak oil, I suggest you do some more research. SARS is a media crisis. Peak oil is not even on the radar of the MSM. Not for long. If you care to understand the issues surrounding oil depletion, I recommend starting at theoildrum.com … contributors there are well informed, and include petroleum engineers and geologists. Pish posh it all you want, but don't be surprised when slightly more informed punters like me ridicule your ignorance.
>> We need to save the planet or tens of thousands of humans will starve to death daily. Wait a minute, tens of thousands of humans are starving to death for want of a few dozen billion$ today!
>> Where is that on the 'crisis' propaganda blitz schedule? I don't see it anywhere in the media guide
Some news outlets cover these stories. Most don't, because for many "viewers" anything "negative" might be a reason for them to turn the channel to something fun. It's safer to run sports and weather segments each longer than national news.
How much of its imported oil does the U.S get from Mexico? Answer 1/3. It follows that this from Russ Winter will have an impact: "PEMEX made it official. Production from Mexico's largest oilfield, Cantarell, fell from 1.99 million b/d in January 2006 to 1.44 million b/d in December.
Mexican oil analyst, David Shields, expects the field's output to drop another 600,000 barrels a day by the end of this year. He says that Pemex will likely increase output by 200,000 barrels a day at other fields — leaving the country with a net decline of 400,000 barrels a day by year's end."
Production from other fields around the world is also declining.
From the WSJ:
Personal debt has reached a record $2.6 trillion. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, U.K. household debt as a percentage of annual disposable income hit 159% in 2005 — the last year for which data is available — compared with 135% in the U.S.
I noticed this while visiting some sites this AM. Consumers in America were spending 130% of DI before the depression. Today we stand at 135%, but the Brits have us beat by a country mile. There's no question in my mind that post 2005 the Brits continued their spending ways, and today the figure could be even higher and probably is. Globflation is here, and this will all end very badly.
"Does anyone know what data points they are using when they say inflation will likely moderate over time? They've been saying that since last May and I don't think food prices were part of the mix last summer."
dave, that is a very interesting question. There is only one reason that the Fed could make that statement. Since they have not raised rates to reduce core inflation, they are assuming that something else will reduce it. I wonder what?

What strikes me is the focus on the Fed. I'm not that old, but in the 1980s I don't recall the breathless, hang-on-every-word attention that Fed meetings get today. Something like this might have been a blurb in the business section. Or am I misunderremembering?
It seems, IMHO, that the Fed is waiting for rents to come down when all the housing/condo inventory hits the rental market. That, they figure, will bring down the housing component of inflation numbers. That is the only thing they are hanging their hats on.
To steal a quote from Frank Zappa: "It's you and three hundred million of your friends, all standing in shit up to your chins, screaming 'don't make a wave!'"
THAT is why the Fed "sees inflation moderating." It's totally fallacious, but if they told the truth, the market might go down more than five points for more than five minutes.
I think they should have had one or two people vote for a rate increase. That would have moderated the speculation without requiring them to raise rates (which would cause housing to fall faster).
Their statements about expecting inflation to moderate are probably based on expectations of a recession. Those tend to moderate inflation pretty well.
Nova…when I started in the business (early 80′s) we hung on EVERY money supply report, fwiw.
That's how I see it, too: they expect a recession and they are saying as much with their actions but not their words.
You can't continually say that something is out of your confort range and continue to endless be comfortable with it… but they have.
I remember those days as well. Thursdays at 4:30 were critical to our positions. Now they don't even report those numbers for fear of scaring us out of our socks.
We now parse over every word because in the 80′s there were no words to parse. The fed used to do an overnight system repo and we were left to even figure out if they did 25 or 50 bps with nary a word of accompanying language.
Shoeless…can you imagine those dayz if we had the internet…and blogs? Yikes.
Information has become ubiquitous, and instantaneous. We tend to forget this when comparing history to today. It is NOTHING LIKE TODAY.
What do I mean? Every issue, news item, statistic, is instantaneously scrubbed, comment on, spun, dissed, praised, data mined, etc to make many points of view. It is really amazing, when you come to think about that.
There are profound inferences in this new reality. It does make things happen in "internet time"…discounting everything makes "fading the faders fade, a mind numbing reality.
This (imho) make gauging sentiment all the more important. The internet can take the pulse of attitudes intantaneously. You don't want to be in "the crowd" at the wrong times these dayz.
Fred – The next phase in the process may already be upon us. I've seen reactions to things like fed minutes happen so fast that one (or both) of the following may be happening:
1. Big money has advance knowledge of the release, but doesn't move until the second of release in order to avoid unwanted scrutiny.
2. Big money isn't reading the release. Instead, they've developed lexical analysis programs to tease out the investment implications of the release, and have hooked this to execution programs.
Interesting stuff… scary though.
ARTificial "intelligence"?? This oxymoronical concept IS chilling. I don't buy the advance knowledge bit though (never a conspiracy fan).
One thing we have seen is the "discounting" of many of the old traders cliche tactics and rules. The more people "see" something (hyped on the internet) the less likely it will have the (assumed) effect in the markets. I wonder if the "recession from housing slump" floater will end up in that infamous camp.
I don't know that any big conspiracy is needed for someone to have advance knowledge. It could be a slip of the tongue or a note accidentally tossed in the trash and a greedy janitor. That said, I'm inclined to think the second possibility is the more likely one.
Like you, I also think it's the scarier of the two.
Winston and momo
The US alone has a 150 year supply of coal the last time I checked. That was two years ago. Is it gone yet?
It doesn't matter if they don't have the resources now to convert it. The free market can be fast when it needs to be. Look at this ethanol con. Look at how that is flipping the market into overdrive for something that won't even be that economically viable and won't solve the problem. It's amazing how fast businessmen can build things wherever the money is even if its phony government money
At worst we can always burn the coal. If oil gets high enough soccer moms will demand it. They are who drives the market once Madison avenue gets through with them
You guys tried two years ago to panic the market into peak oil hysteria and they laughed you off. That's why many(especially in the media) went into the GW camp and that is being laughed off too.
Peak 'energy'(this is about energy not oil, energy need is highly fungible) isn't a resource problem it is a political and management problem….as usual.
You know, only mankind can take a planet that is 3/4 water and have 30,000 kids die every day from lack of drinking water. Only mankind
It's pathetic
Bloomberg reported the primary reasons retailers gave for the drop.
Easter fell eight days earlier than in 2006, shifting most holiday purchases into March, when more than two-thirds of retailers beat estimates. The coldest April in a decade and more than average amounts of rain and snow crimped sales of shorts, dresses and other spring clothing.
"Easter took some sales from April into March," Steven Baumgarten, an analyst at PNC Wealth Management in Philadelphia, said May 8. "You aren't thinking about buying the new bathing suit when there's an ice storm outside." The firm manages $54 billion, including shares of Wal-Mart and J.C. Penney Co.
Maybe retail sales really were a wash over March and April. Sixty-seven percent beat in March, and to date 79% have reported earnings under estimates. While not even, it does raise a valid point concerning the extent of the retail contraction.
NEW YORK, May 4 (Reuters) – A gauge of future U.S. economic growth rose last week to a three-month high, a research group said on Friday.
The increase was due to higher stock prices, lower jobless claims and lower interest rates, the research group said.
The Economic Cycle Research Institute, an independent forecasting group, said its Weekly Leading Index increased to 142.4 in the week ended April 27 from a revised 141.1 in the prior week.
Its annualized growth rate rose to 4.4 percent, a three-month high, from a revised 3.6 percent the prior week.
"With weekly leading index growth reviving to a three-month high, U.S. economic growth prospects are quite positive," said Lakshman Achuthan, managing director at ECRI.
It's mostly salt water, which is expensive to desalinate. It's also expensive to transport to drought areas. Points off for faulty example.
Really John?
You think I could have figured that out
Points off for missing the point John
DavidB, I see you buy the party line on coal. So be it. I won't argue with any of your points, since they're mostly correct. You seem to buy into the cornucopian outlook on energy. I suggest you try and find the debate between Steve Forbes and Boone Pickens that is hidden away on the bloomberg website. Forbes is also a cornucopian. Boone ate his lunch.
Don't be so blithe to dismiss peak oil, just because it hasn't gone into crisis mode yet. America is addicted to Oil. And when we are forced into withdrawl, the effects will be a lot nastier than post-Katrina N'awlns. If you trust the market and government to be on the ball with this issue, well you must be a man of faith.
I will agree 100% that water may end up being a much greater resource issue than oil one day soon. That's why I've put my money where my mouth is and have invested significantly in Hyflux.
I don't have to beat peak oil. I just have to beat the crowd.
There are rich people in third world countries. If the crowd is so desperate to turn itself into one giant third world nation, prison camp or socialist plantation that is fine by me. I'll do my part to live along side the shepherds that suckered them into it while doing my best not to be one of those shepherds.
Never worry about what you can't control
Quote Davidb: "Never worry about what you can't control"
Hmmm. Quite a position. I can't control whether or not a car is speeding into the intersection – so I guess I shouldn't look for myself to see if that "thing I can't control" is about to smash me flat when I step into the street.
Guess if one holds this philosophy on life it helps to consume an inordinant amount of adult beverages, as well.
Guess if one holds this philosophy on life it helps to consume an inordinant amount of adult beverages, as well.
I try not to consume anything made of adults. Too many carcinogens
Worry is a waste of time. You either can do something about it (then plan/do it) or you can't (move along/away).
The car speeding example, worrying at that point will waste valuable time. Step out of the way if that's what you want.
It is a philosophy that makes life very dynamic.
Coal doesn't burn in the vast majority of vehicles, via electric lines. Ethanol is closer to burning in existing cars with fuel system upgrades.
We Are Dependant on Oil. And food and water.

I'm trying to remember if we ever dressed in Sunday best for Thanksgiving dinner. But we were always thankful…
Comment by Paul — November 24, 2011 @ 8:54 am
Some things change … and some things must always stay the same. Happy Thanksgiving, Paul.
Comment by Ardis E. Parshall — November 24, 2011 @ 9:24 am
I was just sent back in time to those warm family feelings at Grandma's for Thanksgiving. It was the picture. At one Grandma's, we sort of dressed up but not in Sunday best. But even at the other Grandma's, where it was an old-fashioned farm kitchen meal (unless you were one of those who had to eat at the table on the porch) we THOUGHT we looked like this family. I guess that's because it was the ideal from the church magazines. There's nothing wrong in living for ideals as we remain grateful for what we have doing the best we can.
Thanks, Ardis!
Comment by Grant — November 24, 2011 @ 9:53 am
Happy thanksgiving to you, Ardis, and the wonderful crowd at Keepapitchinin.
Comment by Researcher — November 24, 2011 @ 10:04 am
Pictures do that, Grant. Nice thoughts. Happy Thanksgiving to you, and to you Researcher — we are a "wonderful crowd."
Comment by Ardis E. Parshall — November 24, 2011 @ 10:07 am
Happy Thanksgiving, Ardis! And thanks for another wonderful year of good history, recounted with passion and wit.
Comment by Mark B. — November 24, 2011 @ 10:51 am
A lot of the wit comes from you, Mark! Happy Thanksgiving.
Comment by Ardis E. Parshall — November 24, 2011 @ 10:53 am
We're using this Thanksgiving as the day to dedicate our new house and farm. As part of the ceremony, we're "raising our Ebenezer" like in 1 Samuel 7:10-12. It is a symbol of our gratitude to God for making it this far, a reminder of our covenant, and a new beginning. I'd like to know if anyone else has an Ebenezer.

420 : National Pot Smokers day.
April 20th is National Pot Smokers day. Do you know, "four twenty"(420) is a term used in North America as a discreet way to refer to the consumption of Marijuana. Although many diverse theories exist to explain the origin of the term one central root of the phrase stems from a group of guys (Waldo's) in the 1970's made 4:20 their official meeting time to smoke marijuana after school. Phrases such as "420 friendly" sometimes appear in roommate advertisements, indicating that the current occupants are tolerant of cannabis users.

MESA COUNTY, Colo. (KKCO) - Mesa County is asking for your help to make a difference in the lives of children who live in drug-endangered homes.
The Mesa County Meth Task Force is getting ready to launch its tutoring program for the second year. Volunteers are paired with a child and work with them for one hour each week on things like reading, writing, and math.
Current volunteers say the kids are great people who unfortunately have had to grow up in bad environments -- and giving up just a little bit of your time during the week can make a world of difference.
"If you have success in school, it's a lot less likely that you're going to be getting into trouble in other area," says spokeswoman Stephanie Rubinstein. "So it's very helpful."
The task force is holding a volunteer interest meeting Friday at the Old County Courthouse. It will take place on the third floor in Training Room A at 12 p.m.
KKCO firmly believes in freedom of speech for all and we are happy to provide this forum for the community to share opinions and facts. We ask that commenters keep it clean, keep it truthful, stay on topic and be responsible. Comments left here do not necessarily represent the viewpoint of KKCO 11News.powered by Disqus

Uncredited: Graphic Design & Opening Titles in Movies
Index Book, 2007 - Design - 313 pages
Uncredited examines how opening sequences in films, classic and contemporary, act as hooks to draw the viewer into the film, showing frame by frame how graphics, type and animation are used to create atmosphere, set tone, and lend impact to movies. Chapters include Casting Titles on to Film, Titles as Logos, Textures, Concepts, and well as chapters focusing on specific title designers including Maurice Binder who was responsible for Dr. No and the brand image for every 007 film since 1962. Also included is an examination of the technological advancements in filmmaking that have allowed designers to direct credits as an aide, an advertisement, or as a sort of short abstract film within a film. From Hitchcock and Godard to Tarantino, Luc Besson, and Tim Burton, this large format coffee table book finally illuminates this critical role designers play in filmmaking and gives credit to those, that often goes uncredited.

Of the endless assortment of flies that are tied to catch
Red Fish, nothing comes close to challenging the Spoon Fly.
The fly was developed and originally designed by Jon Cave,
a former guide and writer from Florida. This fly is excelled
by none other. Jon's original design is called the Cave's
Wobbler, and wobble or flutter it does.
It was at the the Federation of Fly Fishers Conclave in Ashville,
NC. when I learned of the Wobbler. I attended Jon's seminar
and near the end he showed slides and spoke of a fly that
Red Fish couldn't resist. My eyes were glued to the projection
screen hoping he would linger a bit
longer before changing slides. As I desperately wanted the
opportunity to study this creation more, while he spoke vaguely
about the tying instructions. Prior to that day I had attempted
unsuccessfully to build a "Spoon Fly" on numerous occasions.
I even tried molding an epoxy prototype from a Johnson Spoon,
which after hours of work failed miserably. For one long year
from the apocalyptic event at Ashville until the next Federation
of Fly Fishers Conclave held that year in Haynes City, Florida,
I tried continuously to knockoff Jon's fly from what I'd seen
and learned at Jon's presentation. Every attempt was finalized
in failure. But being a persistence sort, I never thought
of giving up. I had seen the fly. It existed. Someone was
able to build a fly that closely represented a Johnson Spoon.
It was proven that the feat could be accomplished, and I was
determined to do it. Several weeks prior to the next year's
Federation Conclave in Haynes City, Florida, I called Jon
and told him of my determination to build the fly. He graciously
offered to have his good friend, Dexter Gary, demonstrate
the procedures for me at the Haynes City Conclave. With Dexter's
instruction, the evolution of the best Cajun Red Fish fly
had commenced.
Given time, coupled with the minds and hands of others who
sit at the vice and aspire to catch more fish, this fly has
evolved in many variations to fit the fancy and requirements
of different fishermen and various environments.
The Spoon Fly, as we call it, has evolved into a relatively
easy to cast fly. It possesses a frantic wobble/flutter, flashes
like fire, and manages to swim through the lush vegetation
and fertile muddy bottoms for which southern Louisiana is
known. It manages to do all this while riding hook point up!
Most important of all, if presented properly Mr. Red is unable
to resist it's allure! This little fly has been credited for
catching numerous species of fish, even Brown Trout.
In the following pages I will attempt to describe the tying
processes in a clear and concise manner. While this fly is
not easy to build, it is worth every bit of patience and perseverance
necessary to accomplish the task. The only ones that won't
be glad that you put forth the effort to learn are the Redfish
that fall prey to it. :<)

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Authorities say a paparazzo has crashed his
bicycle into actress Anne Hathaway's car in West Hollywood. No one
was seriously injured.
Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said
Thursday the unidentified cyclist ran into Hathaway's car on
Wednesday as the car made a right turn.
The Oscar-nominated star was a passenger in her black Audi being
driven by her boyfriend Adam Shulman.
Whitmore says investigators determined the rider was a paparazzo
because he was carrying a camera with a long lens.
Witnesses told deputies he was traveling fast but there was
enough time for him to avoid the crash.
Whitmore says the paparazzo was at fault but no arrests were

Pretty People Grand Opening This Weekend
Thursday, June 30, 2011
So excited that the Grand Opening of Pretty People is here (I announced the soft-opening back in May). I'm personally looking for cool statement necklaces to punch up work and weekend outfits….and Annie has tons of incredible finds. On tap for the weekend, themed according to the "a new kind of animal" credo: "wild card" sale of 15-30% off an item, "jungle juice" and animal themed treats/snacks, a free gift with purchase of $100 or more, and chance to win a seriously awesome Marc Jacons leather clutch that I have been drooling over since the giveaway was announced on the Pretty People Facebook page yesterday.

View other Gear » SpotLite Reviews
by Carol Crooker | 2005-08-02 03:00:00-06
The Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sacks are the lightest woven fabric dry sacks on the market, significantly lighter (by several ounces) than the Granite Gear Dry Sacks, and just lighter (by less than an ounce) than comparably sized Outdoor Research HydroLite Dry Sacks. Plastic sacks such as a mylar turkey roasting bag (0.5 oz) and the Gossamer Gear Pack Liner bags (2 mil polyethylene film, 1.3 oz for medium, 12" x 8" x 32") are lighter, but the Sea To Summit Dry Sacks still merit a look by ultralighters.
The Ultra-Sil Dry Sacks are waterproof when used as designed, according to the US marketing rep, Shelley Dunbar. She adds, "If you are going to be getting really wet, as in floating them in a river, we also recommend another layer of protection for expensive items such as cameras or GPS. They are not recommended for prolonged submersion."
I used a 20 liter Sea To Summit Dry Sack on a recent SuperUltralight canyoneering trip to protect my sleeping quilt and spare clothing in sections where I needed to swim and float the pack. I double protected my soft goods by also using a Gossamer Gear Pack Liner. Everything stayed dry.
For testing purposes, I threw the stuffed Ultra-Sil Dry Sack into a slow section of the creek towards the end of my trip. I left it floating high in the water for 20 minutes. When I removed my quilt and clothing, they were bone dry. I repeated this test with a 4-liter sack in my sink at home with the same results. In both cases, the Dry Sacks floated with the bottom seam out of the water.
The Ultra-Sil Dry Sacks are not recommended for prolonged submersion, but there are occasions when that might occur inside a pack. For example, Backpacking Light Product Review Director, Alan Dixon, recently returned from Patagonia with tales of unpacking his pack at the end of a day of wild weather to find the bottom of the pack filled with water. A dry sack in the bottom of the pack could have been partially submerged underwater for quite some time in a case like that. The Sea to Summit rep assures me that their Dry Sacks will not leak in that situation. I'm awaiting production samples to test their claim.
Sea To Summit is an Australian company making their Ultra-Sil Dry Sacks available in the US this summer. They will soon be introducing Ultra-Sil pack liners and a compression dry sack where air is released through the eVENT bottom rather than through a valve.
Use the listed volume of the Ultra-Sil Dry Sacks, rather than the listed dimensions to determine what size sack you need. According to the Shelley Dunbar, "The rule of thumb for making the dry sacks as water tight as possible is three folds, minimum." Three folds subtracts about 4 inches from the listed length of the Dry Sack, and the smaller sacks (1,2, and 4 L) are flat, rather than cylindrical, changing the volume calculation. The 4-liter size is just big enough for a lightweight synthetic insulated top, e.g. Patagonia Puffball, men's medium.
The 20-liter Dry Sack fits inside a Gossamer Gear Uberlight pack with enough room so that a folded Bozeman Mountain Works TorsoLite pad (serving as back padding), can easily be removed and replaced, such as when using the pad to float the pack through a narrow canyon section. The 20-liter Sack is over twice the volume that is needed to hold a sleeping quilt and extra hot weather clothing - big enough to hold all the contents of a sub-5-pound base weight pack for an overnight trip. Sea To Summit will soon have three oval shaped pack liners (50, 70, and 90 L)available (2.6, 3.4, and 4.4 oz respectively). The 50 liter Dry Sack should be about right for a 3000 cubic inch volume pack. Sea to Summit said there is the possibility of an extra small pack liner which would suit ultralight packs.
It is important to roll the Ultra-Sil Dry Sack top down far enough so that the pressure from the Sack contents keeps the folds in the closure tightly closed and water out.

Have you launched a super cool project and is it still unknown around the world and people do not reach you? Tutorial Blog has five interesting tips to promote our project, our newly formed company, without spending even a single dollar. A sort of "free advertising budget."
Among those mentioned:
* Create your own website
* Join social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter)
* Design your own brochures and business cards presentation
* Attend local networking events
* Includes information on what you do in your signature to all e-mails
For presentation cards, I think it is very important and is something physical that serves to remind the person whom you knew, and of course it does. Not necessarily have to be an expert designers to make, especially with all the tools for that. And of course, less is more. Do not miss the "card for creating the ideal"
Participation in social networks is very important, especially because not only it is a quick way to communicate with people, but we may have more contacts and a much more direct communication.
You can see the point in detail in Tutorial Blog:

This is my review about Freelancer, from the perspective of a freelancer and employer.
As a freelancer
You will have a great time finding jobs and projects to work on. There is a lot of competition from all over the World, and if you don't have the patience and the skills, you would better get a job at McDonald.
If you dare to find projects at Freelancer, I warned you right from the start. You can make a lot of money there, but you do need to work hard and smart.
As an employer to find freelancers
In no more than 10 minutes you will receive loads of proposals. So you have a lot of workers to choose from.
Posting a job at Freelancer is very convenient, but you need to register a PayPal account or a Credit Card before you can hire someone, so you can pay the workers.
Overall it's a very fast and secure platform to work on.
Freelancer became this year in 2013 the first freelance website in the World, surpassing Elance, with the recent acquisition of vWorker and Scriptlance.
Have fun at Freelancer
Freelancer has an annual competition in which they reward $25.000 in the contest "Expose out Logo"
Freelancer recently reached 7 million users, but I think there are a lot of duplicate accounts per user, so in reality there are 4-5 million people at most.

The Top 5 Songs From the Fall of 1993
In the fall of 1993 all of the top five songs had one thing in common, they all were about love lost. But one song stood above the rest by staying at No.1 on the country music charts for multiple weeks. It's no surprise that George Strait took us into to the holidays with his song "Easy Come, Easy Go" a song that was number one for two weeks that fall. 1993 also had other amazing songs like it.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) - With another signature moment at Firestone,
Tiger Woods won the Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday with a
spectacular shot over water to a foot that sent him to a 5-under 65
and a remarkable rally over Padraig Harrington.
Woods has won this World Golf Championship seven times in 10
starts, and he became the first player in PGA Tour history to win
seven times on the same golf course.
He now goes to the PGA Championship with two straight victories
after missing the cut at Turnberry last month.
Harrington helped make this four-shot victory possible. From
behind the green on par-5 16th, after Woods had stuffed his 8-iron
to within tap-in range for birdie, the Irishman hit over the green
and into the water and made triple bogey.
It was the 70th career victory for Woods.

I need to give you all a little history. In 2010 I moved to Texas and I graduated from The Ohio State University. All huge things. But the thing that I will never forget about 2010 is that it was the year that we found out that my mom had stage 3 ovarian cancer. She had surgery in October of that year and then started chemotherapy in December. She was such a trooper. She shaved her head, bought wigs, wore said wigs, had said wigs almost get blown off by the wind, and most importantly laughed. She rarely got sick, and continued to work. She was such an inspiration to continue to trudge on, for all us, for everyone that knows her.
And last year with the help of family and friends we threw my mom a huge surprise party to celebrate her birthday, Mother's Day, and most importantly the finish of her chemotherapy. All of it was a surprise, my being in Ohio, the party, her childhood friends being there, and the fact that we all could actually pull it off without her finding out. That birthday and Mother's Day needed to be celebrated in that way. It was the first happy thing that we had all experienced in 7 months. And it was great, we all had so much fun.
And this year I wanted to do something special. I unfortunately could not go back to Ohio, with a new job and many big, expensive things planned this year it just was not in the cards. So I shopped and looked and decided that making something was the best choice.
I used an empty plastic jar and modge podged tissue paper onto the outside of the jar to give it texture and to make the jar opaque. I then used purple acrylic paint to cover the tissue paper. I left the gray lid alone because I could not think of a medium that would not rub off or crack. I then took purple ribbon and wrapped it around the jar (my bow is ugly, don't judge) and then put American Crafts thickers on the ribbon. Inside I took lots of little pieces of purple paper and wrote notes for my mom to let her know how awesome she is. Even though the cancer is…in remission…hate those words, it has still been a tough couple of years. 2 days before that party I mentioned up there we found out that my mom was BRCA 1 positive. This meant that even though the ovarian cancer was taken out that she was still at an 80% risk for breast cancer and a whole host of other kinds of cancer. As a family we made the decision for her to have a prophylactic mastectomy. And in March of this year she finally finished that journey. She is now missing all of her "female" original parts, something we don't talk about often but I know that it has got to be weird and hard. And that's why I made her the "Happy Thoughts" Jar. Because on top of all of that really hard stuff, there is still life, other people have gotten sick, and better, people been born, have gotten married, and died, and its hard to keep truckin'.
Being worlds apart from my mom on Mother's Day is hard, especially because her birthday is the same week.

O'Reilly has released "iPod: The Missing Manual" ($25), a book that "not only covers all iPod models for both Mac and Windows," but also iTunes, MusicMatch Jukebox Plus, and even the new iTunes Music Store. New York Times technology writer J.D.�Ms. Biersdorfer "opens the secret doors of this gleaming beauty" with an "astonishing collection" of useful tips, tricks, and shortcuts.
iTunes Music Store user Declan McCullagh writes about his difficulties playing music purchased with the Apple's online music service, after moving to Canada. "Having purchased a number of songs from the Apple Music Store while in the US and using a US funds credit card, I regrettably didn't read the fine print ... I've now discovered that if you leave the country, your songs may just disappear." Apple has said it will launch its online music store in Canada and the rest of the world later this year, but the company has not commented on the specific issue described by McCullagh.
MacNN reader Bob Yaworski observes that Apple has posted job openings for an Apple store in Marlton, NJ. "The location is The Promenade at Sagemore," notes Mr. Yaworski, "it's about 30-45 minutes from Philadelphia."

Carrie Ann Inaba, American dancer and choreographer, has more than just a passion for the arts. The sweet but serious "Dancing With The Stars" judge is a proud and passionate animal lover and the owner of three rescue dogs.
In 2012, The original "Fly Girl" took her personal love for pets and founded the Carrie Ann Inaba Animal Project (CAIAP), an organization that supports the rescue, welfare and well-being of animals and funds and creates collaborative programs that reduce pet over-population and promote the importance of spaying/neutering and animal adoption/rescue. And now the compassionate beauty has teamed up with Best Friends Animal Society to help save the nation's shelter animals.
Each year more than 9,000 animals are euthanized in shelters, and Inaba plans on doing something about it. The stunning 46 year-old joins a host of other celebrities in the "Best Friends" photo campaign, a campaign featuring celebrities posing with their beloved rescue dogs and/or cats in support of the Save Them All call to action.
Inaba said about her involvement in the campaign, "Adopting an animal is one of the most beautiful healing experiences you can have. Not only do you help heal the wounds of an animal who has been discarded, lost or who never had a family before, but animals also heal you." She goes on to say, "All seven of my 'kids' are adopted — some rescued right off the streets, some from the shelter system where they would have been euthanized, and some from no kill sanctuaries. Each one has brought so much joy into my life and has taught me lessons I needed to learn about life and love. Adopting an animal is a beautiful thing."
We can feel her passion for her rescue pets and appreciate everything Inaba is doing to help out our furry friends across the country.

The fatal poisoning of a prime minister, a cover-up at the highest levels, stoic silence when questions were asked, conspiracy theories involving international players and national figures, mysterious accidents that claimed the lives of witnesses who could have shed more light on the matter, parliamentary inquiries that have vanished from the library.
After the book extract was published, Outlook was contacted by members of the family. As we pieced together the strange circumstances of Shastri's death through family accounts and on the basis of RTI applications, we can only conclude that the mystery deepens and some answers must be found. What is also significant is that in spite of RTI applications, the PMO has refused to declassify information about the former PM's death in Tashkent 46 years ago. Anuj Dhar, moderator of a transparency website, had filed an RTI application in 2009 seeking the correspondence between the Indian embassy in Moscow and the external affairs ministry and between the two countries after the premier's death. Shastri had gone to Tashkent for a summit with then Pakistan president Ayub Khan after the 1965 Indo-Pakistan war. He died hours after signing the joint declaration. His family has always maintained that he was poisoned and his death hushed up.
There are certainly unanswered questions. For instance, press reports of the incident show that the authorities in Tashkent immediately arrested a Russian cook. He was released after five hours of questioning. However, in spite of the initial suspicion of poisoning, no post-mortem was done, either in Russia or in India. His late wife kept trying to raise questions about his death, but nothing was ever investigated. The couple had six children, of whom only two, Anil and Sunil Shastri, survive. Both are members of the Congress, although the latter had joined the BJP briefly. Grandson Siddhartha Nath Singh (son of Shastri's late daughter Suman) is in the BJP. But regardless of political affiliations, there is a unanimity within the family that Shastri was poisoned and the case was never investigated.
Adding grist to the rumour mill is the extraordinary secrecy over the case. For instance, various RTI applications over the years have sought information both on what documentation is available on the matter and if the government could kindly declassify it. In 2009, the PMO had replied that it had only one document relating to Shastri's death but refused to declassify it under a clause that would "prejudicially affect the sovereignty and integrity of the country, the security, strategic, scientific or economic interests of the state, relation with foreign state or lead to incitement of an offence".
There is a fascinating story he recounts, something that was an obsession with his late mother who was the last family member to speak to Shastri. She was on the phone with her father, as her husband, V.N. Singh, an employee of the State Trading Corporation, was travelling to Cairo on work where Shastri too was headed. Shastri therefore told his daughter to ensure that her husband carried Indian newspapers to Cairo. His last words to her were—"I'm going to have a glass of milk and sleep." The line got disconnected and Suman tried again. However, when she got through 15 minutes later, she was told her father was dead.
One can imagine the questions that have remained with the family since. Particularly as the first inquiry was conducted only after the Emergency when the Janata government was in power. Called the Raj Narain Inquiry, it never came up with any conclusions but began the process. However, no record of this can be found in the Parliament library—by itself not a sinister event as lots of vital documents have disappeared often due to carelessness.
But there is an even more curious series of events linked to the inquiry. Two witnesses were scheduled to depose before this parliamentary body in 1977. One was R.N. Chugh, Shastri's doctor who accompanied him to Tashkent. The second was Ram Nath, his personal servant, who was also present on the day of his death. Chugh was travelling to Delhi by road to testify before the committee and was hit by a truck and died. Ram Nath came to Delhi and visited Shastri's widow before the deposition. According to family members, he told her, "Bahut din ka bojh tha, amma. Aaj sab bata denge (I have been carrying this burden too long. I will shed it today)." Ram Nath left the 1, Motilal Nehru, residence to make his way to Parliament. He was hit by a moving vehicle, his legs crushed (eventually amputated) and he lost his memory.
One can only be left gasping at the strange twists and turns. It suggests a real historical whodunit, the answers to which may turn out to be as unbelievable and bizarre as the death of the prime minister itself.
Apropos Tashkent Whodunit (Jul 16), how come neither Shastri's wife nor any of his family members enquired exactly what Ram Nath, his servant, was to say before the probe committee? Or is it that the writer did not mention it here to emphasise how a witness was maimed or tamed?
P. Paul, Kartarpur
Shastri's death may really have been a result of foul play, as his wife and family feared. The KGB, masters of cloak-and-dagger diplomacy, may will have played a role at the behest of a certain family that considers India as its personal fiefdom, and the right to rule its birthright.
Ranjini R., Secunderabad
Thank you to all those who have taken the trouble to read the article and share their thoughts. Out of the arguments made here, there are two that perhaps need answering. So here they go.
1. The first part of the article compares outcomes (relative percentages of population of the religions concerned) irrespective of the process that led to those outcomes - whether immigration, relatively faster population growth or conversions. This was for two reasons. One, to put the figure of 2.3 per cent in "numerical perspective", as the article itself explained. The second reason was that outcomes are ultimately what the crux of debate is about. The rest of the article in any case dealt with process - or conversions in this case, from both a contemporary and historical perspective.
2. Some commenters have tried to cast doubts on the reliability of Census 2001. Those who do this should bear in mind that Census 2001 was conducted by a BJP government. Considering the extreme importance that BJP gives to this issue, it would be reasonable to expect that IF it had perceived a problem with the methodology that was distorting the numbers, it would have fixed it. As the article mentioned, BJP or BJP-supported governments have been in power for 10 of the last 40 years, or about a quarter of the time, and the only reasonable conclusion one can arrive at is that any misreporting of numbers, real or perceived, would be marginal and hence, not of importance.
To all other arguments made, my answer is the following: Please read the article again, with particular focus on the quotations of Vivekananda and Monier Williams, and the history of the missionary efforts in Bengal and their outcome.
Whatsinaname aka Shakespear
There is everything in a name called Anwar.
"SC Bose did not die after WW2, but was jailed by Soviets. And J. Nehru alone was aware of same but he did nothing since he feared that SC Bose returning could be a threat to his leadership."
I respect Netaji a lot. He may be in soviet. It was more likely for him to be in Soviet Union because America and UK was after him and he was surely a war criminal a la hitler FOR THEM. Just imagine what would have happened had netaji been caught.
>> Your lies about failing to acknowledge the contributions of Veer Savarkar, Lala Lajpat Rai and Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya noted.
Here is some more info about Saffron freedom fighters that jehadis shall fail to acknowledge
"Hedgewar was imprisoned for sedition by the British government in 1921 for a year and again in 1930 for nine months."
His arrest and acquittal for printing seditious material in Bande Mataram consolidated his position as the leader of aggressive nationalists.
Dr. Moonje
Dr. Moonje was a prominent freedom fighter and a strong supporter/follower of Lokmanya B.G. Tilak.
Narasimha Chintaman Kelkar
He was closely associated with Bal Gangadhar Tilak in the Indian independence movement
I could go on, but won't make any difference. The jehadis shall fail to answer it, and shall slime away like the pigs that they are. They shall repeat these lies again in another thread a few weeks from now, and play the same game again.
Lies by repeated assertion. Gobbelesian tactics they were taught at their Madrassa.

Review for Chicuchas Wasi, Forestville, CA, USA
We visited Chicuchas Wasi during a busy couple of weeks in Peru with a Meet the People tour. The school visit was an optional extra and we were so glad we took the option. What an inspirational place. Our small group got a great welcome. The girls clearly enjoy school and were learning well. It was good for us to be able to bring greetings from small rural schools in Scotland. I hope this school continues to go from strength to strength.
