Top ten reasons I should have just stayed home.
10. I hit a long traffic jam on I-80 an hour from home due to a fatal accident. Bad omen.
9. Upon arriving at the first creek, I see only one riser (nice one!), "wader-up", make one cast, fish eats, miss it bigger than shit, then wind comes up hard. No biggie, I've got 3 more days.
8. Get to Driggs late, stop into Broulim's great deli for a late dinner, and they've just put it all away. Settle for a pre-packaged pasta salad that wasn't that good. No biggie, Henry's Fork is an hour away.
7. Wake up on Henry's Fork to howling north wind.
6. All the "regulars" in the Ranch parking lot are standing around behind the trees drinking coffee, telling lies, washing dishes, and doing things besides stringing rods and putting on waders.
5. Arrive in West Yellowstone to fish the Madison in the park. Upon going into a fly shop for a park license, I'm told "It's on fire!" Great, right? No, literally. "On both sides of the river above 7-mile bridge."
4. Get to Madison between the lakes to find a fisherman every 100 yards.
3. Evening bite on Henry's blown out.
2. Next morning on Henry's. Smokey and calm. Tricos all over the water. Only 4-12 inchers rising. Did see one head working nicely. Two casts later, never to be seen again. 10:00-Raging south wind. Red-Flag warning for remainder of weekend. Time to just go home a day early.
1. And the number one reason I should have just stayed home . . . Despite all the idle time I had for 2 1/2 days, I didn't snap one a picture of the wind, the smoke, the wreck, or the rise-less waters so that this post could match the layout of the others. I drove 740 miles and could have bought a new Hardy for the $130 I spent in gas alone. Never touched a fish.
But at least I didn't fry a wheel bearing, hit a deer, break a rod, rip a hole in my waders, lose a fly box, or have any great mishaps. In discussing what I think of as the "overrated" honey ant hatch on the ranch with one of the regulars, he said "sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time." I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time from start to finish.
Dry Flies, Rivers, Trout & Tarpon.
Images and thoughts of my meanderings.

Two Flat Creeks (50 cfs)
A quick weekend run. One just opened. The other is the required stop on the way home. Pure Snake River Fine Spotted on one side, and pure Colorado Cutts on the home side. Both were found. I was beat by the first three using the cut banks to dislodge the flies, but then Flat Creek was tamed with any reasonable fly. The other place, well, I managed one to hand and was taken to the cleaners by the rest. It happens there. Big fish, and weeds that have really grown lately. The last gasp of PMD's and first glimpse of baetis. Ah, feed 'em a beetle.
|Lost a couple here
|Hooked one here
|Fish of the Morning
|Afternoon breeze, and time to walk out
|Colorado side. Lost one in the fence, and another in the weeds
|A gift
|Shredded beetle from yesterday, now tied to 4X
|"Mossed" by the big one here
|A nice 'bow on the bend here--See ya!
|Ended up seeing 5 risers, getting all 5 to eat, and touching one. 4X on a spring creek, and still outmatched. Got weeds?
Jul 17, 2016
32 days, 11 waters, a few flies, two spools of tippet, and a broken leaf spring repaired in Livingston. I caught trout in 8 of the 11. Browns, 'bows, Yellowstone cutts, Colorado R. cutts.
This is my "big trip" of the year for trout fishing. A whole month straight. Opening of the Ranch, Drakes and other big bugs, PMD's on nearly every water, the longest days of the year, familiar waters, "the creeks," and a few side trips. It has a totally different feel than the fall trip of similar origin and duration. This one is more lively. Its a weird feeling now, still buzzing from all the fun, but knowing its now an 11 month wait to do it again the same way. I look forward to it from the minute it ends until the minute I leave again next June. Sure, I have a lot of summer and fall fishing ahead, but this one, from mid-June to mid-July, is the one I remember and anticipate the most. You could say I live for this 4-week period. My 2017 reservations for the creeks are made. My calendar is cleared. I just hope I'm still here and can do it all again in 11 months. I will be motivated by the anticipation in the meantime.
|I took 10 rods, 4 glass, 6 graphite. Used 7 of them, incl. all 4 glass.
|This spot always gets me. Where SW Wyo. desert turns to NW Wyo. mountains. The trip starts at this second.
|Over the hill and around the bend, and there it is. Nothing but green, trees, trout, and paradise in the distance
|Then over the pass and on down into SE Idaho
|And the first rising fish on the first evening on the 'Fork.
Things have changed in the last couple years for this trip. I once fished the Beaverhead and Poindexter Slough for a week or more on this swing through the golden triangle, but this year it was only a couple brief stops that were mostly disappointing. "They" have ruined Poindexter's for the most part with their stream "reconstruction," "enhancement" or whatever you call it. I call it ditch digging and trashing.
The water quality in the Beaverhead is also not good lately. Releases from Clark Canyon Dam are of cloudy, dirty water with low visibility that have reduced the number if rising fish greatly. Some say its lower water, others don't seem to know, but it sucks. I once really loved spending a week or two in Dillon, but a night or two is more than enough now. The shops call it "Beaverhead clear." Right. It used to flow very clear. Maybe the low flows of fall will bring some fish back to the top and some clearer water.
The same can be said for my favorite trout river on the planet, the Henry's Fork. For some reason, the daytime hatches weren't that great during the first week of the Ranch opener. Too many Franklin Gulls eating the bugs as they hatch over recent years? One Foundation board member said he thought so. The Brown Drake fishing in the evening was spectacular though. On the way back home I stopped at the overlook at the top of the Ranch. The river roared at 1600 cfs, and visibility was about a foot. I moved on. Fly shop reports used words like "challenging," "sparse," and "terresterials." That means it sucks. The 'Fork suffered from high and dirty water last summer as well. I don't remember this in recent years past. Hopefully the fall Mahogany fishing is good.
However . . . The Missouri again showed why its the best dry fly river in the country. Big hot fish that test your skills ("techy" the shops call it). Fish that reward good flies and presentations, and scream well into the backing nearly every time. Flows remained constant, grass/weeds weren't a problem, and bugs were just plentiful enough to keep the action going.
|Pretty much "there!" when you go around this turn, into the canyon.
|Shady camp upstream from Wolf Creek
|PHD Island, a favorite evening bite spot.
|Not a bad view from the "bedroom" window
Number one spot, riverside, at the bridge. Ready for launch.
|Been fishing with this guy for 36 years! Friends for life.
The Livingston creeks are always good in summer and fall, I just happened to hit them really good this year, and the cooler weather helped.
|Camp on the banks of the Yellowstone, 8 mins. from the creeks.
|Westlake Goes Glass on Armstrongs!
|And Depuys
|It works!
|The Creek on the River.
And what about Silver Creek? Hell, I never made it over there. I had the week, but stayed in SW Montana instead of heading west. It worked out great with the last 3 days of fishing I had. Maybe next year I need 5 weeks though.
Coming Home (7-15)
What a perfect way to end my month-long trip. Just a few hours from home, down the stretch. Sometimes we tend to forget the greatness of closer waters. This one's just far enough away to be a destination rather than a day trip, but I can do both. Today is the best day I've ever had here. PMD's and some yellow sallies kept the fish looking up on the first walk-through. The big one got away after quite a show and rodeo. They were all big though. This spring creek is free, close, and I didn't see anyone. Browns, Rainbows, and Cutthroats.

Showcased Christianity content
Christianity (from the Greek word Khristos Xριστός "Christ" or 'Anointed') is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus as presented in the New Testament, who (according to Christian scripture) lived during 4BC-30AD. Adherents of Christianity, known as Christians, believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah prophesied about in the Hebrew Bible (the part of scripture common to Christianity, Islam (although differences are seen in the Islamic Pentateuch and the Judeo-Christian Pentateuch) and Judaism). Christian theology claims that Jesus suffered, died, and was resurrected to bring about salvation from sin. Christians call the message of Jesus Christ the Gospel ("good news") and hence refer to the earliest written accounts of his ministry as gospels. These early written accounts are the first four books of the New Testament called Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Like Judaism, Christianity is classified as an Abrahamic religion (see also Judeo-Christian). Christianity began as a Jewish sect in the eastern Mediterranean, quickly grew in size and influence over a few decades, and by the 4th century had become the dominant religion within the Roman Empire. During the Middle Ages, Christianity lost up to two thirds of its size to Muslim militaries (North Africa, the Middle East and parts of Europe), but also most of the remainder of Europe was Christianized. Since then, Christians have also been a (sometimes large) religious minority in the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of India. Following the Age of Discovery, through missionary work and colonization, Christianity spread to the Americas and the rest of the world. Christianity has played a prominent role in the shaping of Western civilization since at least the 4th century. As of the early 21st century, Christianity has 2.3 billion adherents, representing about a quarter to a third of the world's population. According to The Routledge Companion to the Study of Religion, it is the world's largest religion.
Selected article
Roman Catholic Church or Catholic Church (see terminology) is the Christian church in full communion with the Bishop of Rome, currently Pope Francis. It traces its origins to the original Christian community founded by Jesus Christ and led by the Twelve Apostles, in particular Saint Peter.
The Catholic Church is by far the largest Christian church and the largest organized body of any world religion. According to the Statistical Yearbook of the Church, the Catholic Church's worldwide recorded membership at the end of 2005 was 1,114,966,000, approximately one-sixth of the world's population.
The worldwide Catholic Church is made up of one Western or Latin and 22 Eastern Catholic particular churches, all of which look to the Bishop of Rome, alone or along with the College of Bishops, as their highest authority on earth for matters of faith, morals and church governance. It is divided into jurisdictional areas, usually on a territorial basis. The standard territorial unit, each of which is headed by a bishop, is called a diocese in the Latin church and an eparchy in the Eastern churches. At the end of 2006, the total number of all these jurisdictional areas (or "Sees") was 2,782.

Selected biography
Joseph Smith, Jr. (December 23, 1805 – June 27, 1844) was an American religious leader and founder of Mormonism. When he was twenty-four, Smith published the Book of Mormon; by the time of his death fourteen years later, he had attracted tens of thousands of followers and founded a religion and religious culture that continues to the present. Smith was born in Sharon, Vermont, but by 1817, he had moved with his family to western New York, a site of intense religious revivalism during the Second Great Awakening. According to Smith, he experienced a series of visions, including one in which he saw "two personages" (presumably God the Father and Jesus Christ) and others in which an angel directed him to a buried book of golden plates inscribed with a Judeo-Christian history of an ancient American civilization. In 1830, Smith published what he said was an English translation of these plates, the Book of Mormon. The same year he organized the Church of Christ, calling it a restoration of the early Christian church. Members of the church were later called "Latter Day Saints", or "Mormons". Smith published many revelations and other texts that his followers regard as scripture. His teachings include unique views about the nature of God, cosmology, family structures, political organization, and religious collectivism. His followers regard him as a prophet comparable to Moses and Elijah, and he is considered the founder of several religious denominations, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Community of Christ.

The Last Judgment, Final Judgment, Day of Judgment, Judgment Day, or The Day of the Lord or in Islam Yawm al-Qiyāmah or Yawm ad-Din is part of the eschatological world view of the Abrahamic religions and in the Frashokereti of Zoroastrianism.

Data is an unusual currency; it is not restricted by the same transactional limitations as money or people. In fact, the more that you leverage your data across multiple business use cases, the more valuable it becomes to the organization. And the same can be said about the organization's analytics. In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Bill Schmarzo, CTO for the Big Data Practice at EMC, will introduce a methodology for capturing, enriching and sharing data (and analytics) across the organizati...

With so much going on in this space you could be forgiven for thinking you were always working with yesterday's technologies. So much change, so quickly. What do you do if you have to build a solution from the ground up that is expected to live in the field for at least 5-10 years? This is the challenge we faced when we looked to refresh our existing 10-year-old custom hardware stack to measure the fullness of trash cans and compactors.

Question: I came to the museum to see Phar Lap's skeleton, but I was wondering - what are the brown bits on the skeleton?
Answer: We're very excited to have Phar Lap's skeleton visiting from Te Papa (New Zealand), as this is the first time that the hide and the skeleton have been reunited since the racing legend died in 1932.
The brown sections of Phar Lap's skeleton are reconstructed sections of cartilage. The cartilage doesn't preserve when skeletal remains are prepared for display so it usually rebuilt, especially between the ribs. The brown sections on the top of the scapula (shoulder blade) and the top of some of the dorsal processes (the top part of the back bones) are also representing cartilage that would eventually turn to bone. As Phar lap was a relatively young animal, the bones had not fully ossified.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

New user interface features added to latest Firefox 3 nightly build
The latest Firefox 3 nightly build includes a revised interface for the download manager, which features search functionality and grouping for active and completed downloads. Support for toolbar element resizing, native Vista menus, and an integrated Plugin manager have also been added.
The new "Plugins" category in the Add-ons manager allows users to see which plugins are installed (previously one had to navigate to about:plugins to do this) and it also makes it easy to toggle various plugins like the Flash player.
The revised download manager, which is loosely based on mockups that can be found at the Mozilla wiki, still has some rough edges.

5 Reasons to Switch to Ubuntu Phone
You've had Android phones, and you've had iPhones. Buying a smartphone for most people is a polarized, A/B choice. And for some, the experience of choosing a new phone is becoming… jaded. You might think that Android and iOS have the mobile market sewn up, but what if I was to tell you that you don't need to look at Windows 10 Mobile or BlackBerry as alternatives? Various others are available, but perhaps the most impressive of them all is the Ubuntu Phone, which uses the Ubuntu Touch platform, and can be found on devices such as the Meizu Pro 5. Also: Ubuntu Linux 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) Beta 1 now available for download (don't talk back)

Today's Tarot for Ken Nordine
Twisting Path
spread provides insight into the path ahead of you and the choices you must make. This is the spread for situations where more than one pitfall may lie ahead. The
Ator Tarot
is a smart and whimsical spin on Rider Waite symbolism. The clunky and adorable characters of the Ator Tarot make it the deck of choice for those seeking a refreshing approach to divination. If you would like your own copy of the Ator Tarot, you can
buy it now
The card at the lower left, represents
the first decision
along your path.
Wheel of Fortune, when reversed
: An unexpected turn of bad luck. A broken sequence of events. Outside influences for the worse. An inescapable descent due to Fate or Karma. Great changes taking place as a result of earlier actions that cannot be taken back. Misfortune, failure and reluctance to use free will.
The card to the far left represents
the first false path
that may lead you astray.
Four of Wands (Completion), when reversed
: Squandering a great and hard won victory through decadence and laziness. Failing to reward those truly responsible for an achievement. Using past accomplishments as an excuse to ignore current problems. Abandoning the very qualities that brought about initial success.
The card in the middle represents
the second decision
along your path.
Four of Swords (Truce), when reversed
: Restlessness and mental disharmony. Deserting a struggle in progress. A temporary retreat from stress that turns into a permanent rout. A lack of vigilance that could lead to disaster.
The card at the lower right represents
the second false path
that may lead you astray.
King of Swords
: The essence of air, such as a clear blue sky: A mature leader of unwavering ethics and indisputable authority. An incorruptible judge, whose devotion to the law cannot be swayed by emotion or material concerns. Perfect clarity of thought, directness of action, and eloquence of speech. One who, like a great general, inspires not love or devotion, but absolute trust and loyalty.
The card at the top represents one possible mask of
your true destination
The World
: Completeness and intricacy of design. A great work. Achievement, reward, and well-earned recognition. A time of success, prosperity, security and joy. May also indicate travel or a change in residence.

The upcoming GNOME 3.22 desktop environment is still in the works, and a first Beta build was seeded to public beta testers last week, bringing multiple enhancements and new features to most of its core components and apps. While GNOME 3.22 Beta was announced on August 22, it appears that the maintainers of certain core packages needed a little more time to work on various improvements and polish their applications before they were suitable for public testing. And this is the case of GNOME Control Center, which was recently updated to version 3.21.90, which means 3.22 Beta.

Song: Resonant Body (Felix Snow Remix)
Artist: Maggie Rogers
After seeing the video of Pharrell's awesome reaction to Maggie Rogers' song "Alaska", I absolutely had to hear what else the talented Maryland based singer had out there. There's plenty of quality material on Maggie's SoundCloud—most of which is very folky—but this remix by Felix Snow really hit home for me. Felix is easily one of my current favorites and his reworking of Maggie's "Resonant Body" is superb – even though it was released over three years ago! Enjoy.

In a lucid style that only Collins can deliver, he masterfully explains the subtle (but seismic) concepts of good to great for the social sector. Similar to his previous books, he effectively uses a broad array of real-life examples (e.g. the NYPD, a church, the Girl Scouts, the Cleveland Orchestra, a high school science dept), helpful graphics, and a very readable, conversational tone. Even though the monograph is only 31 pages, Collins contributes his clear thinking on numerous issues that will be very familiar to social sector leaders: how to measure success in non-$ metrics, how to recruit and motivate a passionate (and poorly-paid or unpaid) staff, how to think differently about "restricted funds," and how to transcend systemic / external / industry-wide problems. I particularly enjoyed his discussion on "legistative" leadership (versus "executive" leadership in the business world). Collins predicts a dramatic reversal - that one day non-profit leaders, who have mastered legistative leadership, will be wooed away to lead for-profit businesses.
This monograph does stand on its own. However, I think you would have to be fairly familiar with the concepts in Good to Great to fully appreciate its value.
If you are still not convinced, you can also go to his website, jimcollins.com, to read 3-4 pages of snip-its from the monograph.
Regardless, I would recommend this to every social sector leader.
Recently, one executive newcomer to a non-profit called to tell me she was being told to back off by other executives. She was being perceived as "too businesslike"; she did not understand the non-profit world. I asked her to have these people define "businesslike." She learned that "businesslike" meant expecting people to complete assignments on time and be accountable!!
This attitude, which permeates many non-profits, is one of several targets in "Good to Great and the Social Sectors." In fact, due to the diffuse power structure that exists for most social sector organizations, non-profits need even greater discipline - disciplined planning, disciplined people, disciplined governance, disciplined allocation of resources.
And the culture of discipline is not a principle of business; it is a principle of greatness.
Non-business leaders in the social sector must operate differently as they do not have the concentrated power of a business CEO. They have a thousand points of no. It is Collins' observation that they require two skill sets - leadership skills and legislative skills - to be successful. And, he believes you will find more true leadership in the social sector as a result.
The book is organized around five issues that need to be addressed for greatness. These are:
Issue One - How do you define great without business metrics?
Issue Two - What is "Level 5 Leadership" in the social sector?
Issue Three - How can you get the right people on the bus?Read more ›
The underlying principle of the book is that we don't need to impose the language of business on the social sector, but develop a language of greatness. He does this by focusing on five issues that surfaced during the Good to Great research and tweaking them for a different mission and context. They are:
1. Defining Great-How do we calibrate success without business metrics?
2. Level 5 Leadership-Getting things done within a diffuse power structure
3. First Who-Getting the right people on the bus within social sector constraints
4. The Hedgehog Concept-Rethinking the economic engine without a profit motive
5. Turning the Flywheel-Building momentum by building the brand.
The monograph is a first look at applying these five good to great concepts to the social sector. I found it to be exciting, invigorating and one of the best things I've read in a long time. I think this is essential for non-profit leaders-especially church leaders-who want to build great organizations and build accountability within the constraints of structures that we can't change.
I really appreciated the balanced view that Jim took regarding how "busines-like" a nonprofit should be. It is so freeing to not have to be like a business but instead shoot for being a disciplined organization. I go back to his comment "Disciplined People - Disciplined Thought - Disciplined Action" constantly and am working to make that a reality in our organization.
Jim Collins impressed me for another reason as well. Instead of coming out with another edition of the book to add this chapter - which would have been much more lucrative - he decided to be a generous mind and share this in the form of a much less expensive monograph. What a help to nonprofits!
A must read if you work with or for nonprofits.

NEW YORK – A month after undergoing a mammogram on "Good Morning America," Amy Robach said Monday she has breast cancer and will have a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery this week.
The 40-year-old correspondent admitted she had been reluctant to have the public mammogram but went ahead after "GMA" anchor Robin Roberts told her that if the story saved one life, it would be worth it. "It never occurred to me that life would be mine," she said.
Robach joined ABC in 2012 from NBC, where she was a "Weekend Today" host. She logged considerable time with the cast of ABC's top-rated morning show, filling in for Roberts, who has fought back from a serious blood and bone marrow disease.
Producers chose her because, at 40, she's at the age when it's recommended that women regularly check for breast cancer. Married with two children and a full-time job, Robach said she had found plenty of reasons to put it off. In her original story, she emerged from her mammogram telling Roberts and her "GMA" colleagues that it hurt much less than she thought.
A few weeks later, she returned for what she thought would be some follow-up images only to learn she had cancer. She said she will learn after Thursday's surgery what her treatment will entail going forward. "I can only hope my story will do the same and inspire every woman who hears it to get a mammogram, to take a self-exam."
Two from indi rock band shot and killed
A musician shot and killed two members of an Iranian indie rock band and a third musician early Monday, and wounded a fourth person at their Brooklyn apartment before killing himself on the roof, police and the group's manager said. Two of the dead were brothers and members of the group the Yellow Dogs, who came to the U.S. from Iran three years ago after appearing in a film about the underground music scene there, according to band manager Ali Salehezadeh. Another person killed was also a musician but wasn't in the band, and the wounded person was an artist. The shooter was a member of another band from Iran, the Free Keys. Detectives suspect there was a dispute over money
wrong name: Angela Lansbury says "it's a mistake" for NBC to call a new series "Murder, She Wrote." The network recently announced plans to reboot the show with Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer as its star. Lansbury, who starred as murder-solving mystery writer Jessica Fletcher for 12 seasons and four TV movies on CBS, says she's a fan of Spencer; she just wishes they wouldn't use the name.
