Dyeing her hair blonde may have helped Christina Hendricks say goodbye to her TV alter ego Joan Holloway, but the Mad Men star did reveal that she hoped to experiment with Joan's look more while the show was still filming.

There's not much Elisabeth Moss won't miss about playing secretary-turned-executive Peggy Olson on AMC's Mad Men, but after nine years the actress admits she's not sad to say goodbye to the old-school undergarments.
"They're basically like Spanx," Moss tells PEOPLE of the on-set girdles and pantyhose she wore under her early-'60s wardrobe. "I don't like wearing Spanx, and I don't like wearing girdles either. They're just annoying."

Christina Hendricks didn't follow the dress code at the Made Men Black and Red Ball, but she did manage to make a major statement. The actress ruled the red carpet in a striking green Zac Posen confection with a detachable skirt (and it's the kind of look that you need Joan Holloway-level confidence to pull off).

Sure, we're going to miss the amazing pitch meetings at Sterling Cooper Draper Price, Don and Roger's banter and all those gorgeous period clothes, but one of the things we'll miss most of all about Mad Men is the amazing beauty moments created on the show. That's why we wanted to chat with fabulous makeup artist Lana Horochowski — who is responsible for the memorable looks sported by Betty, Joan, Megan, Peggy and the rest of the cast — as we wait anxiously for Sunday's season 7 premiere.

As one of L'Wren Scott's biggest celebrity fans, Christina Hendricks has worn the designer's dresses for many of her most special events. And the actress honored Scott — who took her own life March 17 — by wearing one of her creations to a PaleyFest event this weekend.
The curvaceous Mad Men star selected a green midi dress with gold embroidery at the waist — a feminine, flattering number also loved by some of Scott's other big fans, Penélope Cruz and Ellen Barkin (below). Hendricks finished the look with a gold clutch and pumps to highlight the metallic embellishments along the waistline and trim. And she radiated the bombshell confidence which she credited Scott's designs for giving her.
"L'Wren's clothes make you feel like a sexy pin-up, a sophisticated lady and a rockstar all at once," she told the U.K.'s Telegraph in 2011. "She designs for how women want to look and for what men want to look at."

Every time we see a new dress come down the runway at New York Fashion Week, we can't help but wonder if we'll see it on the red carpet during awards season, too. That's why we had to ask Mad Men beauty Jessica Paré and her stylist, Cristina Ehrlich, about Paré's upcoming Emmy ensemble when we chatted with them exclusively at the Jason Wu fashion show in New York City on Friday. And though they didn't come right out and tell us what exactly she'll be wearing, they did drop quite a few hints. And so, based on our conversation, here's what we can conclude about her dress thus far.
1. It will be very, very tight. "I like to tell Cristina that if I can breathe or feel my toes, something is wrong," she reveals.
2. That said, it will probably be loose around the armpits, because Paré tells us she needs ample room to, well, sweat. "I'm getting sweaty in the armpits just thinking about [the Emmys]. I'm so excited!" she gushes.
3. It may or may not top the dress that she wore last year. "My favorite red-carpet look of all time — and I think it will be my favorite one for a long time — is the dress Jason [Wu] made for me for the Emmys last year. It was a gorgeous piece, just the combination of textures and everything. I feel like such a woman in his clothes."

Kiernan Shipka, who plays little Sally Draper on the hit show Mad Men, may only be 13, but she's already got one of the Hollywood closets we'd most like to raid.
"When it comes to clothes, I always look for something that's fun and represents me," Shipka told PEOPLE at Wednesday's Chanel dinner honoring artists at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. "My style is modern and elegant with a little more of a twist. I look a million times better in something that I love instead of something that is just pretty and not my style."
The young fashionista works with a stylist to help choose her chic, age-appropriate outfits, but ultimately she's the final word on what she wears.
"I make sure to pick out everything and I approve all of it myself," she says. "Fashion has always been something I've loved since I was little. I could spend all day looking [at] and talking about clothes."
The teen has worn Oscar de la Renta, Valentino and Dolce & Gabbana to premieres and awards shows, so we had to ask: Are all those dresses just hanging in her closet?
"No, I don't buy all this stuff," she says with a laugh. "I mostly just look at them on the Internet. My regular wardrobe consists much more [of items] from Rag & Bone and a couple of good t-shirts from the Gap."
And it sounds like a little Mad Men influence may have rubbed off on her, too. "I love to go vintage shopping in Los Angeles." she says. "That's my obsession right now."
Tell us: What do you think of the tween's chic style?

I love the composition and simple green monochromatic texture of the leaves...The seclusive feel gives me an idea of being given the choice to enter into mysterious realms...The water gives just enough reflection not to overpower the larger section of trees/forest. It must have been interesting getting into position for this shot...so kudos for that little adventure, and that brings me to the point of the observer, very interesting...on land or on water? The light source in the foreground gives just enough light to lead the eye into the picture. The only constructive advise I would give is to place the center (light opening) just a little more off center both horizontally and vertically.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
2 out of 2 deviants thought this was fair.
Thanks my friend. I'll be done with school for a couple of weeks after next thursday. I'm not sure if I'll know how to act free though.
really nice ~
What a beautiful capture!
the beauty envy..
nice atmosphere
Very beautiful.
CooL! but this kinda remind me of some kinda habitat of bunch of piranhas or dozens of crocs lived by. love the greens
In regards to what =Bark said about the overall artistic feel, I would have to agree; the image holds an air of mystery and adventure about it; in ways it is similar to where I am currently living, in IL, and moreso
Thank you. It's easy to forget about time when traveling the paths this was taken on. I'm glad you like it.
looks like places i haunted as a kid in the sandhills of NC. has a nice, summery nostalgic feel to me. i'm no photographer, so i can't discuss the technicalities of the shot, but i think in a general artistic way the color, composition, and light and shadow are very pleasing.

The Stolen Makeni Children
A preidential commission finds that the adoptees from Sierra Leone were in fact kidnapped.
Were Samuel Mosley and Adama K. stolen from their birth families in Makeni, Sierra Leone so that Americans could adopt them—and so that greedy middlemen masquerading as child welfare workers could get paid? That question was at the heart of the series published here last August, The Makeni Children, which investigated the torturously complex stories of 29 adoptions in 1998 from Sierra Leone to the United States. Birth families from Makeni had agitated for more than a dozen years, insisting that their children had been wrongfully taken. But the child welfare organization that had taken those children, HANCI (Help a Needy Child International), insisted that the families were lying—that in the midst of the brutal civil war, they had knowingly and willingly given their children away.
While I was reporting the story, Sierra Leone President Ernest Koroma appointed an official commission to look into the families' charges. By all accounts, the group painstakingly heard testimony from anyone even remotely connected with the case: birth families, HANCI officials, police, and many more. Kim Kargbo, an American missionary who lives half-time in Sierra Leone and had helped bring together some of the Makeni children with their birth families, and who had testified in front of the commission, told me that she felt that the commissioners listened carefully and fairly and were genuinely concerned about the welfare of the children and the facts of the case.
The families had high hopes for the commission's findings. As a skeptical journalist, I had my doubts that the three appointees would do any serious digging. But then, to my surprise, last month the commission released its findings and concluded that the "so-called adoptions" were fraudulent. In the commission's words, the biological families "cannot be said to have genuinely consented" to the adoptions, as they did not understand the concept of giving up their children forever; had never signed any agreement to relinquish their children; and were never informed that their children would be sent to the United States. Further, the commission concluded, HANCI had failed to inform either the parents or the Sierra Leone court system that those children would be sent to live with American citizens permanently. The commission instructed the nation's police to reopen a criminal investigation, using all the sworn testimony filed with the commission, "with a view to preferring criminal charges" against the wrongdoers within six weeks. The wrongdoers weren't named, but the commission did order that HANCI be shut down and its books audited at HANCI's own expense.
Finally, the commission advised Sierra Leone's Ministry of Social Welfare to make contact with the United States government in order to help the birth families make contact with their long-lost children. The families say they do not expect those children to come back permanently—but they are desperate to see and talk with them again, and to find out how those children are.
When I heard the news, I called Dawn Degenhardt, the founder of Maine Adoption Placement Services (MAPS), who had originally worked with HANCI to bring the children here. "It's shocking that [HANCI] would knowingly do that," she said, sounding genuinely bewildered by the news. "It's just amazing. How tragic. How tragic. I just am astounded. They told us these children were abandoned and orphaned and free for adoption."
The Makeni families' vindication is unusual. I've covered fraud and corruption in international adoption for several years now. Other wrongful-adoption investigations and prosecutions have taken place in countries as disparate as China, Ethiopia, India, Mexico, Vietnam, and the United States. But I cannot think of another in which a determined group of birth families have agitated until they were told officially that their children were wrongfully taken—and that justice must be done.
The most notable case is that of Loyda Rodriguez, who in August 2011 received a Guatemalan court decision declaring that her daughter Anyeli—now living with an American family in Missouri—had been kidnapped for adoption. The court canceled Anyeli's passport and ordered the child's return. While few believe that the United States will carry out this order, some of the child's kidnappers are now behind bars in Guatemala.
Of course, the Sierra Leone commission has only made recommendations; the police haven't yet brought criminal charges, and the Ministry of Social Welfare hasn't yet made contact with the United States or MAPS. A State Department official told me they did not have enough information yet to comment, and MAPS's CEO, Stephanie Mitchell, emailed me that they would respond if contacted. Nevertheless, the commission's findings suggest that the Sierra Leone government is willing to bring criminal charges and help these families reach out to their estranged and now-foreign children.

More info about purchasing Partagas cigars...
This review is submitted by boBh069 and is participating in our "Share your cheap smoke!" contest. To get a chance to win a box of cigars, you can submit yours here.
I personally love most of the Partagas line. The earthy funky character these cigars are known by is a love of mine and when I saw this contest, this was the first cigar that came to mind. I have been able to acquire these for about $4.00 a piece and I smoke a little slow so these usually last me about an hour, which in my eyes makes this a perfect candidate to review. I like to age these a little as they mellow out in the last third but these usually don't last too long and i smoke my boxes quite fast. However I held onto this one for about 7 months and was nicely rewarded. I tend to purchase these quite a bit as most I have had have few, if any draw issues. I only had one of these with a tight draw out of my last box and it was workable, nothing to complain too much about. As a matter of fact my only real complaints with these are I wish the smoking time was longer and I have had a few that just would not let the bands come off. I personally take every band off my cigar before I cut and light it but this one was different. I even waited until the burn almost hit the band hoping the glue would loosen with the heat and I still struggled with getting it off. With that said, enough of my rambling and on with the review.

One player the Marlins are looking to trade away is starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco. Curiously the Marlins opted to keep Nolasco, 30, around over the winter while the organization sent numerous players to Toronto and other destinations. Currently making$11.5 million the Marlins are "being very aggressive" according to the New York Daily News. Nolasco currently sports a 3.68 ERA and 1.20 WHIP after 100 1/3 innings of work. Two teams who figure to have interest in the right hander are the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees but how much they will pay for a pitcher set to be a free agent at seasons end is unknown. At 25-50 on the season the Marlins have the worst record in baseball.

Activism in the African-American community in Buffalo began in the early 1800s. The demand for equal education for black children was a constant cry. The African Vine Street School was considered to be inferior to other schools in the district. Black students were not allowed to go to the city's only high school. There also were white abolitionists in Buffalo who spoke out against slavery and later joined the fight for the education of black students. But the black leadership was strong and consistent. It included such men as:
George Weir Jr., a grocer and one of the few African-American merchants in the city. He was a frequent correspondent with Frederick Douglass. Abner Francis, who settled in Buffalo in 1835, was one of the wealthiest African-Americans in the city. His clothing and dry cleaning business was very successful. He was a leading member of the Anti-Slavery Society and he used his influence to encourage blacks to protest poor education. Peyton Harris, who came to Buffalo in 1832 from Virginia, was also a successful businessman and very much involved in the struggle for education.
Black public meetings were held regularly across the city. An article in the Phylon Quarterly written by Arthur O. White in 1969 stated: "Black integrationists made their children sit in local schools in defiance of segregation orders, but the school officials humiliated them by refusing to give them books and instruction. Sometimes school officials used force to drive black students from the district schools. Blacks withstood these tactics in order to force the hand of city leaders, who continually voted for segregation. Some blacks accepted these verdicts and took their children out of the district schools."
One man who did not back down was Henry Moxley. He filed a petition with the Buffalo Common Council to protest the actions of Superintendent John S. Fosdick, who physically expelled black children by kicking and beating them. Moxley retained the services of a prominent white lawyer named Albert J. Stevens to test the laws of the city. Stevens agreed to represent Moxley without a fee. Damages of $1,000 were sought in the case. The city responded by directing its attorney to defend Fosdick. It argued that Fosdick was acting in accordance with the law. The actions of the superintendent were upheld, and Moxley's petition was denied. The court concluded that the black students had violated the city charter by forcing their way into district schools. The next step was an appeal.
The case was heard on Jan. 10, 1868, before State Supreme Court Justice Charles Daniels, a Republican member of the court since 1863. He ruled in favor of Fosdick and fined Moxley. After the decision, some members of the black community wanted to discontinue the suit, fearing it was not safe to go on. However, Moxley stated that he would "carry it through from court to court, if necessary." He told his lawyer to continue with the case.
They went before the State Supreme Court again on May 4, 1868. Stevens argued that the Civil Rights Act passed by Congress in April 1866 intended to give blacks the same rights as whites. The judge rejected the use of the Civil Rights Act in this case, and Moxley was defeated a second time. The debate in the Council raged on, but it responded with only a few improvements in the black school.
It was later proposed that a charter review committee be established. After much debate, it was finally decided to end segregation. Even after the movement toward integration, the African school continued, but there was a problem of low attendance and the Council finally closed it. Twenty-three years later, the first professionally trained black teacher was hired in Buffalo. Her name was Ida Dora Fairbush.
Fairbush was 26 years old when she passed the Buffalo Teachers' exam in 1895. She was a graduate of the Xenia Normal School in Ohio. She had taught almost two years at Wilberforce College in exchange for tuition. In 1896, the Buffalo Board of Education appointed her to the Annex at School 6, where she remained until her retirement 41 years later. Surprisingly, Fairbush did not teach black students; she taught the children of Italian immigrants. In a book called "The Teacher's Voice," edited by Richard J. Altenbaugh, the following words appear: "She was so talented that the white people kept her for their children."
Eva M. Doyle has been a columnist for 35 years for the Buffalo Criterion newspaper, where this article originally appeared. It is the third of four parts.

Crews are on the scene of a crash involving two tractor trailers and three cars in Tarboro.
It happened just after 2 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 64 East and the Howard Avenue exit. As you can see from the picture on this story, one of the tractor trailers overturned.
There is one injury, but it is not life threatening. Troopers say wet conditions are believed to have played a part in the crash.
The left-hand lane of Highway 64 East remains closed and is not expected to reopen until after 5:00 p.m.
There is a detour available. The DOT says take Exit 478 (Kingsboro Rd) and take a right at the top of the ramp. Continue 2 miles to stop sign, take a left onto Howard Avenue extension. Continue 2.75 miles to first stop light, take a right onto McNair NC 212) to interchange with US 64.

Must-Know Safety Tips for Fall HikersMust-Know Safety Tips for Fall Hikers https://learningcenter.statefarm.com/family/recreation/must-know-safety-tips-for-fall-hikers/ bb3 Jul 18, 2012
By Staff Writer State Farm™ Employee
Autumns cooler temperatures and colorful foliage draw many hikers to the trails, but slips, trips and sudden changes in the weather can put a stop to the fun. To prevent a safety misstep along the way, plan ahead for your outing.
Hiking is a very healthy activity and its good for people to get out and explore nature, says Jim Nepstad, superintendent for Effigy Mounds National Monument in Harpers Ferry, Iowa. To maximize chances of a safe hike in the woods, prepare in advance.
Stay safe with these tips:
Gear up. Because the weather can change quickly in the fall, Nepstad recommends packing an extra layer of clothing. Its beneficial to have the capability to add or remove extra layers, he says. Also bring a map and compass with you, in addition to your cell phone, because cell phone coverage can be weak or nonexistent in some areas, he says. And even if you dont think youll be gone a long time, a snack and some water will help if you begin to feel fatigued.
Practice the buddy system. There is safety in numbersespecially if you get lost, fall and injure yourself or spot a dangerous wild animal. If you dont have a hiking buddy, consider joining a hiking club.
Be informed. Educate yourself on whats in the local area so there are no unwelcome surprises, Nepstad says. Talk to park rangers before heading out on the trail. Ask for their recommendations on hikes that are of the length youre looking for, what you should take with you, and what you might encounter along the way.
Also investigate the following ahead of time:
Local weather
Plants, animals, and bugs you might come across
Inform others. Always communicate your hiking plans to others. Let them know where youre going, when youre leaving, and what time you anticipate returning. That way, if you run into trouble, they can send help in a timely manner, Nepstad says.

Vitesse And Avago Simplify Path To 100G/120G Connectivity
Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: VTSS) and Avago Technologies (NASDAQ: AVGO) announced availability of the industry's first CXP host joint reference design delivering 100G/120G connectivity for high-speed routers, Enterprise data centers and high-performance cloud computing applications. Based on Vitesse's VSC7227 12-channel signal conditioner and Avago's AFBR-83PDZ 100G CXP, this joint reference design enables customers to leverage Vitesse and Avago interoperability and expedite time-to-market with solutions for 100G/120G connectivity. It will be highlighted at SC12 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Click to Tweet: We're at #SC12; check out our CXP reference design for 100G/120G connectivity at booth #737 @Avagotech @VitesseSemi http://bit.ly/PEiYZWSustained growth in cloud computing, mobile networking and video, remote storage and other bandwidth-intensive services drives demand for high density 100G/120G connectivity. Recent surveys show that network bandwidth demand is one of the most critical issues facing data centers, driven by increases in virtualization, cloud computing, big data, and convergence. To meet these needs, both carrier and equipment providers are upgrading existing systems with higher density 10G ports which are expected to grow 68% in 2012 alone, according to Infonetics. The reference design supports both these higher density 10G ports, along with the migration to true 100G links and beyond. "The Vitesse reference design demonstrates the combined superior performance of the Avago CXP transceivers with the Vitesse signal conditioning ICs," said Sharon Hall, product manager for parallel fiber optic products at Avago. "With this combined solution, system designers can design 100G/120G optically connected systems with confidence and improved signal integrity." "This reference design gives our customers a proven way to solve higher bandwidth demands in optical networks," said Gary Paules, product marketing manager at Vitesse. "Through ecosystem developments such as with Avago, Vitesse continues to extend its connectivity leadership, enabling our customers to rapidly bring to market advanced solutions for high density 100G Ethernet and Infiniband applications."

Trying to install a Highpoint 2310 eSATA card in an Intel XServe. The computer can see the card and get manufacturing ID info, but I can't connect to the Web management interface or see any of the drives. Manual says x8 or x16 cards- the 2310 is x4. Is that the problem?
Never mind. It was a combination of bad driver installation and one bad cable (of two).

Patient Comments: Turner Syndrome - Diagnosis
How was your Turner syndrome diagnosed?
Comment from: PixLPixie, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: November 12
Well, I had the split preparation and then a colonoscopy. The preparation was not bad at all, not bad tasting at all; the Gatorade and Pedialyte tasted worse, too sweet. I was totally clear at the end of it. I slept as soon as the drugs went in, Fentanyl and Versed, then lucky enough to wake up to watch the screen and see the labyrinth that is my large bowel. Great. Then back to sleep. I just have to say that this test is so important. Don't be put off by the fear of preparation that may taste bad or opinions of others; form your own opinion.
Comment from: Schwab, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: April 01
At 15, I always talked to my parents how weird I felt because I didn't get my period like all my girlfriends and I was really short. My parents decided to take me to an endocrinologist just to check and try to see what was going on. After a lot of tests I was diagnosed with Turner syndrome.
Comment from: CS, Female (Patient) Published: January 26
I was sitting on the backs of my legs/ankles on the floor wrapping Christmas ornaments for about 40 minutes. When I tried to stand up, I couldn't put any weight on my right leg and I couldn't bend or straighten it either. It was almost two days before I could put any weight on it.
Comment from: Tonya, 7-12 Female (Caregiver) Published: April 22
My daughter was diagnosed with Turner syndrome at birth. She had lymphedema in her hands and feet, partial cleft palate, broad chest with wide set nipples, and extra skin on the back of her neck, along with a heart murmur. She was later diagnosed being monosomy X karyotype. She is 7 now and very outgoing. She has a rare condition with her heart that we found about when she was days old. Just a few months ago we found out that it may be affecting her. The doctor told us that it will around the age of 5 or 6. She actually has hyperthyroid, so she never stops. She gains no weight but eats constantly due to her thyroid. I tried her on growth hormones injection when she was about 4 but it was stopped about 3 months later. She hated them so much. She"s about a foot smaller than kids her age. But I guarantee you she is stronger than all of them.
Comment from: anelson44, Published: December 12
I was 13, and my mom had been telling the doctors since I was about 6 that I was short for my age. They kept telling her I would hit my growth spurt not to worry. As a child I was always getting ear infections and having to have tubes. Finally we changed insurances in 2007. Again, my mom brought this to the attention of my PCP. We finally got the referral to the endocrinologist, not because he suspected Turner's but because of my thyroid and bone scan. The doctor that looked at me started to look at my hands, mouth, and fingers, and then left the room. He then came in and told my mom that what all these signs were pointing to was Turners. I was diagnosed April 11, 2007. Since then I have a thyroidectomy, found out I have scoliosis, and was able to take HGH for about a year and half and am now 5 ft tall.
Comment from: nanny, 3-6 Female (Caregiver) Published: July 30
I am so happy all of you are doing so well, I hope my granddaughter will get to do so well. She was born with Turner's and only weighed 1.14 lb. Her mother has never taken her to her specialists to keep track of her development. She will soon be 4 with the intelligence of a two year old maybe.
Comment from: SharLa, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: October 11
I was diagnosed with turner syndrome when my mother was pregnant with me. She was an older mother so as they do sometimes they ran that test where they take the fluid from the stomach. It came back positive for turner syndrome. The doctor actually told my mother to have an abortion because they didn't know what problems I would have. Well I was born June 10 and grew up to only be short and not have many Boobs. My whole life I was told I wouldn't have children which saddened me because that's what I wanted. Well at 18 I found out my boyfriend of four years and I was expecting a child. I now have a beautiful girl of 5 months born on Easter. They then told me I was a mosaic which is how I was able to get pregnant. Well they ended up also telling me that my child could be born with full on turner syndrome or none at all. When she was born they took my chord and tested it. She was turner syndrome free and I was blessed.

My iphone 4s receives calls but has stopped ringing, hence I keep missing calls. I have checked my settings, the volume is up and it is not set to silent. I have always had the settings so that it rings and vibrates together, itrs just stopped ringing.
I have been back through ring tones and clicked on it and it sounds, the speaker works also. It would seem all announcement tones have stopped announcing be it text, call, message etc etc.
Its doing my nut in as I I am missing lots of important calls and am finding I spending a lot of my time checking my phone for missed calls.
Any ideas anyone?????
Im such a plonk, just read someone elses post. The silent mode switch on the side was on (showing orange) I didnt relise as its all tucked up nicely snug as a bug in it griffen case.
Dooh. Thanks anyway.......

New biography explores Rosa Parks' lifetime of activism
For her 100th birthday, the late Rosa Parks has received a special gift: a new biography by historian Jeanne Theoharis designed to prove that when it comes to the civil rights movement, Parks was more than a one-hit wonder.
Parks, born Feb. 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Ala., is the African-American woman who was memorably arrested on Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her arrest triggered a bus boycott in Montgomery and made Parks one of the icons of the civil rights movement. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

Conventional tackle users might not think much of sheepshead, but they are a fly-rodders trophy.
A game plan for putting a nice mess of fish in the box starts off with poppers around sunrise, switching to weighted flies like clouser minnows and charlies under a VOSI around mid-morning, then finishing the day with poppers near sunset. Pencil poppers, Petes Perch Float Popper, and Skipping Bugs work great for both reds and specks. Best colors are metallic gold, black/chartreuse, green/white, red/white.
After cold fronts pass through, and winds subside, water levels will still be low. Scout the ponds and canals for exposed backs and tails. Theyll belong to reds, drum and sheepshead, all of which are eager to eat flies.
Spoonflies, Seaducers, Yarn Crabs, Redchasers, Charlies... just about anything in your box that has action will arouse these fish. If you encounter Redzilla reds over 15 pounds which is a real possibility since Hurricane Isaac toss him a real meal, like an EP Fiber fly.
Crappie also turn on this month with colder weather. Lakes DArbonne, Bruin, Sibley and Bundicks are a few of my top spots this month for fly action. I like using the Crappie Candy and the Fluff Butt. But even a pink charlie works good. And Gummy Minnows have a knack for catching slabs in shallow water. When fishing near structure, try suspending weighted flies under a tiny float.

Confused? Go to the beginning to find out about the Following the Leprechaun Contest.
The leprechaun heard a teeny little baby cry and ended up in this group. He hung out for a while because leprechauns just love babies. He sprinkled some St. Patty's day cheer on the babies and it's said a few may have even slept through the night that night. Magic.
Want to keep following the leprechaun?
First comment on this thread and tell us your favorite St. Patty's Day memory.
Then decide what the leprechaun did next, did he...
Flip on his favorite program on the tele?
Answer some questions about infant feeding?
Sprinkle some lucky leprechaun dust?

Video: Gay 'barbarians' glitter Marcus Bachmann's office
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
As amusing as the Barbarian protest is, and labelling your opponent as foolish and worthy of mockery is a pretty common tool, there is a serious issue at stake. Minnesota allows people to counsel without licences and there are huge question marks over what Bachmann's psychiatric qualifications actually are. People – often young people who are coerced by their family – approach counselling for help. What the Bachmann's provide, in the name of "treatment" is discredited bunk, nothing but snake oil and nonsense. And they charge for it. So they exploit and extort the most vulnerable who come to them for medical assistance. The practice is despicable and THAT is what we should be focusing on.
True but why not do it with a sense of humour.
The more that I see these kinds of things emerging in America the more I think it must be pretty embarrassing to be an American.
Hasn't it always been??
Bush twice is enough of indication of Americans IQ level

Whoops, what I meant by that is the sheer amount of irrationally homophobic and ludicrously god fearing children (no sane adult believes in fairy tales no?) that seem to permeate America. A good religion is a dead religion.
It's very embarrassing for me to hold an American passport….I say this because, although I was born in America….I don't consider myself an "American". Having spent a considerable time in the U.K. I occasionally meet individuals who say, "I hate Americans"…..to which I respond, "Not nearly as much as I do"……
Things could get even worse here if the likes of Michelle Bachmann get elected….
I have seen (on another site) gay people bemoaning the action and calling it childish and counter-productive. They clearly don't understand why glitter is precisely the right answer to those people.
Not because it is inventive or such but because it doesn't take them and their views seriousl; it doesn't dignify them with an argued and rational response because they don't deserve either, their claims being as ridiculous as they are.
It tells them that we are not afraid of them and that we can afford to treat them lightly because we are winning and they are loosing.
It also removes from them the possibility of scoring point by complaining about it. "oh, Miss, Miss, the nasty gays are throwing glitter at us." They would become even more of a laughing stock than they already are.
It's is, I repeat, the perfect and only response.
Completely agree Zefrog :)
Yes, meeting violence, and these therapies are violence, with glitter seems a neat response.
Whoops, what I meant by that is the sheer amount of irrationally homophobic and ludicrously god fearing children (no sane adult believes in fairy tales no?) that seem to permeate America. A good religion is a dead religion.
It was somewhat of an amusing tactic but I doubt if it will do much. People like Buchmann and his ilk have their brains locked permanently in eighteenth century mode. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he's starting leeches to bleed the gayness out of his 'patients.'
He's a quack, if there ever was one. And she's so far right-wing that she's going to fall off. She, like Sarah Palin, is going make so, so many verbal missteps that the Republican Party is going to shoot itself in the foot while tightening the noose around its neck.
Way too many metaphors in one paragraph.
Another example of childish bullying from the gay rights lobby.
To paraphrase the Chinese proverb, "He who throws glitter has already lost the argument."
Bunch of desperate sados who cannot engage the brain. End of.

While doing some performance testing, I've found that we could improve the performance of loading Entities that have java.util.Calendar fields. When loading the data into a Calendar field, we actually create two Calendar instances per field. Normally creating an extra instance wouldn't be that big of a deal, but since creating a Calendar is very expensive I would like to remove creation of the extra instance.
The call flow is something like this:
- em.find(...) // find an Entity which has a calendar field
... execute query, processing result set...
- DBDictionary.getCalendar(ResultSet,...) // Here we pull a Timestamp out of the result set, and create an unproxied Calendar instance.
// now while trying to store the Calendar into the Entity instance, we find that this type needs to be proxied.
SingleFieldManager.proxy(...) // Here we create the second Calendar instance, which is a proxied calendar
I'd like to add a configuration property to DBDictionary that tells the runtime to always create proxied calendar instances. This would remove the creation of the initial un-proxied instance. For a large majority of application which use Calendars this would help.
As always, there is a catch to this approach. If you were to execute a query such as : em.createQuery("SELECT c.myCal FROM CalendarEntity c where c.id=:id", MyCalendar.class), you would get back a proxied instance. This shouldn't be that big of a deal... but still a bit of a quirk.

Hmhmhm, I'm liking it, Alexial! I'm gonna have to agree with you on the darker outline because it's kind of difficult to distinguish parts with a quick glance. I also feel like there are a few misplaced pixels on the top right of the tail making it look kind of jagged. Other than that, I think it's great!

Burgos's Castle looks like a fun place to explore! And the Cathdral looks so beautiful! Great Pictures!! Greetings from Sunny Kodiak....the rain has stopped...
Manuel~~Another one of your stellar pages! Have made it to Leon, but aching to go to Burgos, but unfortunately time does not permit, but at least I have a mental image of what the famous cathedral looks like!
Leon looks beautiful. I am curious to visit some day, as I enjoyed a lot some other cities in Castilla y Leon.

Uncivil Courts
America's military tribunals through the ages.
Another injustice was that Army courts were used to prosecute common thieves or liquor traffickers—purposes far from those the Lincoln administration intended. Worse, defendants were charged with crimes incommensurate with their behavior. Some who had simply shown sympathy to the Confederacy were accused of treason, a clearly inapplicable charge according to Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution, which defines treason as an "overt act" of "levying war" against the United States or of "adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." Some were sentenced to hard labor or death, though none was ultimately executed.
The most egregious violations of civilians' rights occurred in the North, where unreliable or ill-functioning civil courts could not be used as an excuse for resorting to military justice. One famous case involved Clement Vallandigham, an Ohio Democrat, former congressman, and leading "Copperhead," or Northern opponent of the war. A double victim, Vallandigham suffered from both the suspension of habeas corpus and the rough justice of military courts.
On May 1, 1863, Vallandigham delivered a fiery anti-war speech in Mount Vernon, Ohio, in which he attacked, among others, Gen. Ambrose Burnside, the military officer in charge of the region. A short-fused Burnside ordered Vallandigham's arrest. A few nights later, troops burst into Vallandigham's house in the wee hours and carried him away. Within days, an Army court sentenced him to jail for the rest of the war. Vallandigham petitioned a federal judge for a habeas corpus writ, but the judge noted that Lincoln had suspended the privilege. Vallandigham had in fact been trying to provoke just such a result, and he knew full well that Burnside was likely to come after him. He thus achieved his purposes: attaining martyrdom for himself and throwing Lincoln on the defensive.
The controversy deepened with the case of Lambdin Milligan, whom a military court in Indiana had sentenced to death for joining a pro-Confederate secret society called the Sons of Liberty. The Supreme Court, which in 1864 had declined to rule on Vallandigham's case, agreed in 1866 to hear Milligan's. In Ex Parte Milligan, Justice David Davis, delivering a majority opinion in Milligan's favor—which four justices joined and with which four others concurred in a separate opinion—strongly rebuked the government. Davis, who had been Lincoln's friend and campaign manager, held that military tribunals had no jurisdiction over civilians. Article III of the Constitution, he noted, mandates that courts be set up by Congress, and the Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial.
Technically, the court didn't question Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus since the Habeas Corpus Act passed by Congress in 1863 had removed the pressing constitutional questions surrounding that action. But it did order the lower court to give Milligan a writ for his freedom. More important, Davis' opinion included a passage about wartime encroachments on freedoms that became a touchstone for civil libertarians ever since:
The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all circumstances. No doctrine, involving more pernicious consequences, was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government. Such a doctrine leads directly to anarchism or despotism.
Milligan didn't prevent presidents from sending civilians to Army courts. During Reconstruction, military justice was used to suppress insurrections and punish criminals. During World War II, too, the Roosevelt administration prosecuted eight Nazi spies under military law and executed six, with Attorney General Francis Biddle deriding Milligan as a "bad case." (The administration could have held the potential saboteurs as POWs and tried them later at the war crimes tribunals.) The Supreme Court upheld FDR's action, ruling in Ex Parte Quirin that Milligan's example wasn't relevant because Milligan was not an "enemy belligerent." In essence, Quirin tried to broaden the class of those subject to military justice beyond U.S. soldiers to include hostile combatants as well—the key point on which the Bush administration today rests its case.
Nonetheless, for decades now it has been Milligan, not Quirin, thathas been considered a landmark, an eloquent articulation of the paramount need for protecting civil liberties in wartime. To be sure, presidents and attorneys general have had little use for Milligan and legally speaking, Quirin overturned, or at least modified, it. But students of history and constitutional law have consistently considered Milligan the better decision. And if Milligan hasn't deterred wartime politicians from using military justice against enemy soldiers—just as it doesn't seem apt to disturb the Bush administration's military tribunal plans today—it has seared in the record the idea that future generations will not look kindly on such actions.

If you regard Rachmaninov's Third Symphony as a decadent, nostalgic remnant of Czarist Russia, then you really should hear this performance. The music couldn't sound fresher, lighter, or more modern. It's not that Vasily Petrenko slights those lush, romantic elements, but he certainly doesn't dwell on them either. His handling of the "tempo rubato" second subject of the first movement is typical, and I offer a sample below. If you like it, then buy this recording. One thing is certain: there isn't a dull moment anywhere is this performance. The music surges, flows, and dances, with an urgency and lightness that you won't believe possible.
One other aspect of the interpretation deserves mention, and it's an important one. It concerns dynamics. So many performances make heavy weather out of the start of the finale: the "bull in a vodka shop" approach. It's actually very interesting, but if you consult the score (now readily available thanks to Boosey & Hawkes in a nicely printed popular edition) it's fascinating to note that Rachmaninov's indicated dynamics are actually only mezzo-forte in the brass, and Petrenko takes great care to ensure that the indicated volume is observed, and that the string articulation is accordingly light and bouncy. The result has a remarkable dance-like quality that's wholly convincing.
As for the rest of the disc, the presence of Vocalise was inevitable, but the Caprice bohémien is a delightful work, far too little known, and it's as splendidly played as the symphony. EMI's engineers do everyone proud. If you've been collecting Petrenko's Naxos recordings, you know just how well the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic plays for him, and so the general excellence of this release will come as no surprise. This is definitely a distinctive view of Rachmaninov, a breath of fresh air, and a nice complement to more traditional approaches.
This is an excellent disc which I've enjoyed greatly. The playing of the BBC Philharmonic is excellent, reminding us – if we needed to be reminded – that Manchester has two first class symphony orchestras. They're directed and energised by one of the leading Elgar conductors of the present moment. Add to that a splendid soloist in the Cello Concerto and you have a distinguished release. The performances are reported in excellent Chandos sound, which has all the presence and detail that one expects from this label. Incidentally, this is the first CD I've heard from the BBC Philharmonic since they moved into their new home at MediaCity UK in Salford. The name of the new venue may be dreadful but it seems that the studio in which the orchestra now plays produces good results. I have the impression, on a first hearing, that the acoustic is somewhat more ample than was the case in their former home at Studio 7, New Broadcasting House, where the sound was very immediate. In the new venue there appears to be a bit more space around the sound of the orchestra.
The sweetest setting, of the Nunc Dimittis, or Song of Simeon, traditionally part of Anglican Evensong, was commissioned from Toronto's Peter Tiefenbach in 2003. It comes with a simple, atmospheric piano accompaniment elegantly rendered by Leslie De'Ath. (Other accompanists on the album are organist Michael Bloss, cellist John Marshman and clarinettist Stephen Pierre.)
The other commissions are equally successful: Bless the Lord for the Good Land, an affecting anthem from 2000 by Mark Sirett; Timothy Corlis's To See the Cherry Hung With Snow, from 2007; and an arresting, chilling setting of Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence created in 2005 by Craig Galbraith.
Among the pieces programmed from long-established Canadian choral specialists are a colourful setting of Psalm 23 (The Lord is My Shepherd) by Imant Raminsch and "Remember," one of Stephen Chatman's Rosetti Songs.
It's such a pleasure to be able to celebrate fine choral music, gloriously well sung, that also happens to be Canadian.
Bach, Nouveau "Brandebourgeois" Reconstitution by Bruce Haynes performed by Bande Montreal Baroque under Eric Milnes (Atma).Something a little new and wildly ingenious here. Since (A) Bach had absolutely nothing whatsoever against transcribing his own and others' music for other musical forces and (B), a large quantity of the music Bach left at his death was lost to history, why not believe that one of the eternal classical masterpieces the world now knows as Bach's Brandenburg Concertos was just part of a huge stock of lost Bach concertos that may have numbered as many as 100? And further, why not believe they can be simulated by taking movements from Bach's Cantatas, transcribing vocal lines for the instrumental forces familiar from the Brandenburgs and present the whole merrily synthetic thing as "Nouveau Brandebourgeois" concertos? The Brandenburgs they're not, but you'll be joyfully surprised by how plausible these synthetic Bach pieces are. Good fun, as all such inventiveness should be.
