Ranked as India's No1 Genetic Testing Lab
Immigration DNA Test Guatemala
/- Rs.
Product Description
In a immigration petition, the applicants are required to submit primary documents such as birth certificate, school records, and other documents that help verify the claimed family relationships. When these initial or secondary documents are missing or have proved inconclusive, the immigration authorities worldwide & embassies overseas may request the petitioner and the beneficiaries to take a DNA test in order to determine the biological relationship scientifically and conclusively.

DNA test requires that all tested parties have their samples collected at a certified facility — such as local hospital, medical offices, Certified Diagnostic centers and health departments. When you contact DNA Labs India, a scheduling specialist will find an office near you to arrange an appointment.
One advantage of using DNA Labs India over other companies is that we have the largest network of certified facilites in India, so finding a convenient location near you is easy!
The immigration applicants bear the complete responsibilities of arranging and paying for DNA testing. However, the immigration authorities strictly require that the DNA test, if pursued, be performed.
Surrogacy, ART and DNA Testing Determining Citizenship: Many, but not all, children born abroad to a citizen parent are eligible to be documented as citizens. For a child born through surrogacy to acquire citizenship and obtain a passport, sufficient proof must be submitted showing:
1) A genetic relationship between the newborn child and a citizen parent. This is most effectively accomplished through DNA testing, and DNA testing is now strongly recommended in all cases involving surrogacy. (Note: The genetically related parent must be a citizen at the time of the baby's birth to be eligible to transmit citizenship.)
2) The citizen parent(s)' physical presence in the according to the requirements of immigration law. Depending on your individual circumstances, you may have to prove up to five years of physical presence in the country in order for your child to acquire citizenship. The rules regarding physical presence are very specific, and you should review them carefully.
Immigration DNA Test Guatemala – AABB Accredited Immigration : Typically, our laboratory performs DNA tests to prove relationships for immigration purposes. In our experience, most clients need these DNA tests under the following two circumstances:
The majority of our clients are requested to take a DNA test by embassies worldwide after they file the petition or embassies after their interview because their primary documents do not satisfy the immigration authority to approve the petition. The request may come in a form of Request for Further Evidence (RFE) or Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). In this situation, the DNA test is completely voluntary and optional. However, because of the conclusive power of DNA family relationship testing, the testing results are regarded as a piece of critical evidence that the immigration agencies use to make the final decision of approval or denial.
When primary documents to prove family ties are not available, some immigration applicants choose to initiate a DNA test without the official request of the immigration authorities. Knowing there is no valid paperwork, many immigration attorneys may also suggest their clients take this preemptive measure so that they will at least have some type of document to prove their claimed family relationship.

The Students and Young Professionals Committee mission includes providing leadership opportunities and serving as a springboard to other WEF committees. When the SYPC was asked how we could strengthen the YP involvement, we proposed a leadership integration program for the WEF Mid-Year Meetings. Within less than a year, we had a board-funded and approved program to support young professionals' attendance and involvement at Mid-Year. Part of the application process included a commitment from the YP and their supervisor to become involved actively in other WEF committees and to attend WEFTEC in October.
Of course, this program would not be a success if we had willing YPs but no committee to receive them. Not only did the technical committees welcome the YP volunteers openly, they helped identify and provide opportunities to get involved.
My experience at Mid-Year was focused on helping the YP volunteers make the most of this program and get connected within WEF. I attended my first Government Affairs Committee meeting and look forward to continuing my involvement in the Water for Jobs campaign. I believe that we have a responsibility to spread the word about the value of water and the impact that investment in water can have. It's fun to be around folks who have similar interests and passions.
In Chicago this year we had 16 YPs – some who were new to the committee and some who had been around for several years – attend Mid-Year. In total, these volunteers attended 8 committee meetings, networked with countless WEF leaders and staff, volunteered for various roles, and made a few friends in the process!
YPs should consider involvement in WEF and the SYPC because of the networking and leadership opportunities it provides. I will be attending my 8th WEFTEC this year! My involvement in the SYPC serves as a means for me to attend this one-of-a-kind conference - WEFTEC is the water event that should not be missed! YPs out there, please feel free to post questions or comments.
Young professionals should consider involvement with the Water Environment Federation and the Students and Young Professionals Committee because of the networking and leadership opportunities they provide.

A mother is angry after a manager at a local bar and grill asked her to stop breastfeeding while consuming alcohol.
Crystal McCullough was at Big Woody's in Chesapeake, Virginia and ordered a shot of Fireball Whiskey and a beer, WTKR reports. She claims she was sipping the beer (and a water), but was saving the shot until after she was done breastfeeding. "I had a huge water I was downing. I had a beer and a shot of Fireball in front of me but that was for after I was done. And I had one sip of beer and was not planning on the rest until after I was done nursing," McCullough said.
One of the managers approached McCullough, telling her that several of the other patrons had complained.
When McCullough expressed that she didn't think she was doing anything wrong, the manager closed out her tab, effectively preventing her from buying any more drinks. She left Big Woody's shortly afterward.
McCullough immediately posted her concerns on Facebook. The response has been heated from both sides of the debate. Supportive mothers and breastfeeding advocacy groups claim McCullough's breastfeeding in public made the bar staff and the patrons uncomfortable. But the bar's owner states that it was the consumption of alcohol while breastfeeding that caused the stir.
"Our concern was for the child, really that's what it is," explained Craig Davis, one of the owners of Big Woody's.

Skip to comments.Ron Paul supporters arrested as La GOP Shreveport convention splits in two
Posted on 06/05/2012 1:17:51 AM PDT by Casie
Chaos erupted in Shreveport today as police officers arrested state GOP delegates who support Ron Paul for the party's 2012 presidential nomination.
The dispute arose after the state party's central committee issued "supplemental rules" earlier this week concerning the delegate selection process. A press release from the Ron Paul campaign this afternoon referred to the 11th hour changes as "illegal rules."
After fights in the Rules Committee Friday, state party chairman opened the convention moving to pass the new rules, when the majority of delegates moved to elect a new convention chair. When Villere refused to yield the dais, the majority elected a new chair and turned their chairs. As this was happening, the Villere faction convinced the Shreveport Police Department to arrest some of the Paul delegates holding microphones for "trespassing."
During the forcible arrests, Shreveport police dislocated the hip of the gentlemen in the video here, identified by the Paul campaign as State Central Commiteeman Henry Herford Jr. of Franklin Parish.
(video) http://www.examiner.com/video/shreveport-pd-at-la-gop-convention-arrest-injury
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
Henry Herford Jr. was elected by an overwhelming majority as new convention chair. Mr. Villere, who had appointed himself the convention chairman, refused to yield. When delegates began turning their chairs around, Mr. Herford rose to call the convention to order. Mr. Villere then convinces police to forceably remove Mr. Herford, who is injured and sent to the hospital! Video at source. (My first post. Member since 2004!)
T the end of the video, it looks like the LEO is confiscating the video phone of the bystander.
Verrrry interestink!
"Sad what passes for "politics" these days."
Seriously. I wish the process was like Draw Poker and we could throw these out and ask for a whole new hand!
GOPe thugs like the rule of law when it's in their favor.
Our convention here in Maine was contentious, but not violent.
However, the level of animosity and hostility are palpable in the town and county meetings since.
For the most part, it's not about ideology on the part of the 'old guard', it's about losing power.
Louisiana politics!
Not sure. Suspect the woman who wrote the article is a Dem who want to make the GOP Look Stupid. (often not that hard)
I have to admit I am seriously disturbed and mad a the GOP "leadership" for their antics leading up to this point. I am convinced that Mitt Romney is a terrible candidate for President. Not that he is a terrible person, but he is a gun grabbing Big Government Lib in GOP cover.
I hear a train whistle, we are being railroaded and I despise it.
I leave Wednesday for the TX GOP Convention in Ft. Worth. Pray to god that ours is not like this.
I admit I "did" vote for Ron Paul in the primary. Not a candidate of choice, but in my opinion better than Mitt Romney. (Yes, I know some of Ron Pauls positions are nuts)
The GOP looked pretty supid at the Shreveport convention without anyone's help! Last minute rule change. Ugly power play. Clueless police officers deployed wrecklessly.
There is a Freeper that has a graphic of a bumper sticker that I must find and steal! It says "Vote Romney to stop Obama. Vote for a Conservative Senate to stop Romney!"
Have fun at the TX convention. Don't forget to charge your cell phone in case you need to capture some video. ;)
One of the MANY reasons I will not only NOT vote for romney if he gets out of the convention with the nomination, I WILL work AGAINST him and the GOP-e and do EVERYTHING i possibly can to make sure that the GOP-e NEVER gets their socialist elected president.
These stupid F'ers in the GOP need a serious ass kicking.
Legal recourse?
Sounds like the LA GOP isn't following their rules.
typical far left radical ron paul nutters trying to take over the LA GOP and the " white people" you hate fought back !
these were radical far left paul nutters trying to take over the LA GOP and the GOP fought back.
The paul nutters are not used to that.
they have gotten away with pauhing around the meek old people and seized power !
they want to reek chaos at the gop convention by taking over gop delegates !
the radical PAUL crazies trying go seize power and got nailed !
you paul nutters think your going to destroy the gop convention.
think again.
They followed the rules, so the entrenched powers changed the rules and resorted to violence.
Nice friends you have there...
They followed the rules set forth by the State GOP. Sorry if that gets your knickers in a twist...
You sound like a Dem. "They beat us at our own game so it's ok if we act like thugs to get our way..."
And people wonder why this Country is swirling the toilet bowl.
Just for the record I'm not a "Paul Nutter" or anything like it. I am just suprised by the GOPs complete lack of cohesion! This incident was ridiculous.
Charles Pierce wrote a nice little blog:
"The police were called in and Herford was hauled off to the hoosegow, allegedly with his artificial hip broken in the scuffle.... Meanwhile, state party leaders held their own convention in one corner of the room with about 30 delegates in attendance. Local media is reporting that the minority convention also elected a slate of delegates, although it is unlikely that the legitimacy of their slate will be recognized by the RNC.
I love the convention being held "in one corner of the room." It's so damned Louisiana."
> I WILL work AGAINST him and the GOP-e and do EVERYTHING i possibly can to make sure that the GOP-e NEVER gets their socialist elected president.
Working hard to elect Obama are we?
While I admire your anti socialist bent, you sound like a far left liberal nut!
Your post reads like it was lifted from the DU - Go Obama!
IOW, you have no clue how the election process works in LA and are just talking out your ass.
A Straw poll is non-binding. It's the delegate vote that counts. These were duly elected delegates following the process.
Neither Paul, nor Romney, deserve to be on the GOP ticket. The only way for that to happen is to deny Willard the RINO enough ACTUAL delegates.
If the GOP insists on putting moderates and RINO's (every POTUS candidate since Nixon with the exception of Reagan), then they deserve to be done away with.
Conservatives need more than just "liberal lite" to vote for.
Give that lie a rest.
Paul was crushed in LA !
He has no presence here period.
You think letting a bunch of Obama drones posing as Paul supporters into the GOP convention is a great idea.
NIce try with that scam.
Move on.
You aren't making any sense. Who voted for the new chairman if Paul didn't have any delegates? By the sounds of it, a large majority as well.
Again, you are running your mouth without any real clue about what you are talking about.
Look up the definition of "straw poll". Now look up LA GOP rules on the non-binding nature of the poll. The delegte vote is what counts.
Anything the denies Willard the top slot is ok with me. Paul is the only one still active that could give us a brokered convention and a chance at a real conservative to run against Zero.
Stop thinking checkers and start thinking chess.
LA GOP beat them back and now these lefties are upset.
You can't seize power you legitimately won.
The Ron Paul camp won their delegates fair and square. The LA GOP needs to ask itself why. Not ignore the results because the current leadership wants a different result. Throwing out legit results is not conservative.
1. Rules Chairman loses election
2. The next day, the State Party Chairman proclaims that old Rules Chairman back in to his position
3. The new Rules Chairman(elected by Paul supporters) objects, State Chairman orders him removed from the floor by police
4. Paul supporters make motion to elect new Party Chairman, succeed in voting in their guy
5. Old State Chairman refuses to leave position
6. Paul supporters turn around seats, begin their own convention
7. Old State Chairman orders police to remove Paul supporters and their elected Chairman
I really don't see how Paul supporters were "disrupting" the convention, unless showing up and voting in person(where the ballots can't be fixed) is disruptive.
This isn't going to work out well for anyone.
Your NOT getting away with you far left radical DELEGATES games in LA.
la IS NOT GOING TO BE A PARTY TO YOUR FASR LEFT CHAOS YOUR PLANNING IN TAMPA.
So go back to try another left wing delegates scams elsewhere.
Your NOT getting away with you far left radical DELEGATES games in LA.
la IS NOT GOING TO BE A PARTY TO YOUR FAR LEFT CHAOS YOUR PLANNING IN TAMPA GOP convention .

So go back to try another left wing delegates scams elsewhere.
I note that you lack a sig. That would make a great one if it fits.
I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment.
Here in GA, the state GOP convention had a very strong Ron Paul supporter presence. In general, we agree with these folks on many, many issues. Even the supporters I talked to disagree with Paul on some of his foreign policy extremes.
We need to figure out how to make common ground with a large part of his supporters. We have a lot of it, and they are young, energetic, and anti-Big Government.
Use more Capitalisation. Since you have no facts, maybe it'll make someone listen to you.
Like a good Radical leftist your COMRADES trying to seize control of the LA GOP delegates behind closed doors.
THE real LA GOP voters hate Ron Paul and gave him NO support.
He came in Last here in the primary because we are a CLOSED primary so leftists like you can not VOTE ! So like a Good Obam lefty you don't care about the voters you seize power from within ! THanks for verifying who and what you radical Paul bots are all about.
Really? You sound like the typical GOP loser. You know, the idiots losers who have been swallowing the GOP's liberal load for the last few decades.
GO ahead and support the GOP-e's socialist. THEN, if you manage to get him elected go ahead and try to stop the other idiots in the GOP from following his socialist lead...
I really dont know if you guys are naive or just F'ing stupid.
IF you allow the GOP to elect this socialist POS you will have ended whatever meager opposition there was to socialism in the GOP. You will open the flood gates to tyranny.
Its just a damn shame that there are so many who are stuck in the "team" mindset of RNC -vs- DNC. That may have been the case at one time (a long time ago) but now that matchup is meaningless. The battle is Socialism -vs- everyone who wants to be free of socialist tyranny. While the DNC used to be the exclusive home of the socialist tyrant, they have since migrated to the GOP and are in actual leadership positions within the GOP. they are aided by the usefull idiots in the GOP who mindlessly support everything the gop throws at them simply because its not democrat. NO thought at all is given to whether or not the GOP is becoming a tool of the socialists.. Just that its not democrat... Thats all that matters... nothing else...
Its an IDIOTIC mindset and F'ing SUICIDAL strategy. YOU are working FOR the ENEMY! Imagine that... WHAT exactly do you mind numbed romneybots expect to get by supporting a socialist takeover of the GOP? What?! stop Obama? the man? or his party? Or his ideology? if your answer was "the man" or "His party" then YOU are an idiot. If the answer was his ideology then WTF are you doing out of the insane asylum? because your nominating someone with the exact same ideology.
Hey snide lefty.
Isn't there a Zionist hater convention you need to be at today ?
Get your facts straight before you even think of calling anyone else a troll.
I'm Left handed, yes. Politically, I'm to the Right of you.
Keep your teeth together Newbie. You are embarrassing yourself.
Did you read how that Paulbot could care less the LA primary vote results but recited the delegates rules.
This is how the left plays games to seize control and the voters be damned !
Dead the primary was back in March, thethe results are below. Paul got 6.1 percent to Romney's 26.7 and Santorum's 49 percent. This does not support a strong Ron Paul showing.
Louisiana Primary
100% precincts reporting
Candidate Votes Pct. Del.
Santorum 91,305 49.0% 10
Romney 49,749 26.7% 5
Gingrich 29,655 15.9%
Paul 11,460 6.1%
Others 4,208 2.3%
Paulbots don't care about the LA GOP primary results inwhich where Paul was crushed and due NO delegates .
You seize control from within using well analyed gaps and holes in each state GOP delegate convention.
Who cares what the LA GOP voters wanted .
YouPaulbot leftists want power and control so you can cause chaos at the GOP convention in front of the TV cameras. !
I outed the Paulbot state delegates scam so go play the poor victum card elsewhere.
Some actual results:
The Ron Paul camp may think running dyed-in-the-wool Paulistas as uncommitted delegates is winning them fair and square. But normal people looking in wouldn't be swayed by the above three examples alone.
Yes, delegate allocation rules need to be overhauled big time.
But the key to that overhaul should be in awarding a lot more delegates to the states which actually deliver electoral votes to the GOP in the fall and a lot less to those which don't.
Not in making the GOP more brownshirt friendly like the Democrats are.
Just Google the topic and you will see that these Paulbots have taken over entire state gop delegations (WY,IA ,..)in which Paul was crushed in the Gop primary just like in LA .
Then watch these Paulbots post here like their victims blah ...
When Paul came in last place but the Paulbots did not care about the voters decision so want to tried to take over the LA delegation .
Just watch them do that attack in TX too.
Yup and see my examples in post #45. Some people think Ron Paul is wonderful just because he ain't Mitt Romney. But his followers have cost Santorum a lot more delegates than they have Romney with these brown shirt tactics. And the object isn't to win for their candidate. That has long gone past the point of no return.
The object is to disrupt the GOP convention for no reason other than making it easier for Obama to win reelection. If the object was to change the allocation rules for the future in the manner I described in post #45, then a lot of us could be sympathetic to the Paulistas here.
But it isn't. And they know it. It's all about their egos.
sooooo..... a few paulists jump up and down and it becomes a "split."
ONE kook objects and the media would call it a civil war.
It makes Romney supporters look like strong-arm elite Rhino thugs and further fractures the party. It makes Paul's people look like champions of conservatism fighting the old Republican establishement.
I want to also mention that after the chaos of the convention, one the Ron Paul people (I can't remember her name) called the Moon Griffon radio show to say they came to the convention in the spirit of reconciliation and the intention of conceding some seats to Romney supporters.
You got to be kidding me.
You are a Paulbot.

Does Increasing Angler Participation = Better Fishing?
There have been a few threads in the last few months that have discussed the issue of being "secretive about stream information to protect our streams" v. "increasing angler success leads to increased participation which leads to more folks seeing that our streams are protected".
There was discussion that the number of anglers has actually gone down over the years and that fewer people fish in the Park today than in years past. But there didn't seem to be any hard facts behind our discussion. I had a little bit of free time this evening and started doing some research.
In general nationally, over the last 15 years or so the number of people that fish and the number of times that each person fishes has gone down. From the period 1996 to 2006 the number of licensed anglers went down 14.8%. At the same time the number of days spent fishing went down 17.4%. The East South Central Region has seen a less dramatic drop across that same period (approximately 5% down from 1996).
The State of TN has seen drops in license sales as well since 2001. The graphs that include in the TWRA Strategic Plan indicated that there has been a slight increase in total fishing days across the state from 1996 to now, but that it has dropped off dramatically in the last 6 years. Specifically I was reviewing the statistics for stream based trout fishing, which includes the Park and most of the East TN counties.
So what does that mean? There are less people fishing now than in the past, but really there is no definitive evidence that fishing pressure has gone up or down over the past 10-15 years (with the popularity of the internet as a medium to spread good fishing stories...). And its really hard to tell if there has been a migration of anglers from tailwaters to park streams, etc.
I did find something else interesting in the TWRA Strategic Plan. TWRA is looking hard at trying to expand the number of anglers. Here is a set of specific action items that they intended to take to increase participation:
IX. Problem: Many anglers and potential anglers are not aware of existing stream fishing opportunities in Tennessee. Less avid anglers need additional motivation.Here are some sites/reports that you can explore and draw your own conclusions:
I'm not sure which side of the argument is right. Perhaps it isn't black and white, at all. Maybe some streams need to be protected while more participation would ensure that other get protected. What's your opinion?
Do you think fishing in the park is better now than in the 90's (or 80s, or 40s?). And why?
"Even a fish wouldn't get into trouble if he kept his mouth shut."
Good research. The number of licenses seems pretty clear cut. But, how do they know the number of fishing days? I used to fish heavily and I can recall only being asked once about my days angling and my general angling habits. That was in the Smokys. I was reading a management plan about a month ago, and somewhere in that plan was a mention of the problem of stream access under current state law.
That is hilarious...license sales have been dropping the last few years, ironically coinciding with the ridiculous price increases which make our non-resident license (with trout stamp) one of the most expensive in the entire country. If our fishing and stream access was on par with some of the great destination states (such as Montana) and had the level of fishery enhancing regs that they have, I wouldn't have an issue with the high cost of a license. If TWRA truly wanted to increase the number of anglers, they would lower the cost of the license or do a better job with our fisheries. The delayed harvest streams over in NC bring a lot of out of state fisherman in. Our delayed harvest streams (like the Tellico) are nothing like those in North Carolina. Out of state fisherman aren't going to spend $81 to come fish them for a few days a year when they could go to NC and buy a license for half the price. If it wasn't for streams like the South Holston, the number of non-resident licenses would be much fewer... When I travel out west, I specifically avoid fishing in Wyoming. The license is expensive and stream access laws are awful. I'm sure people feel the same about Tennessee. There is good fishing available, but the license is just overpriced.
As far as the number of people fishing different types of waters, it seems to me that a lot more people are fishing tailwaters instead of venturing onto the smaller freestone streams in the mountains. For many people, once they figure out how to catch trout on the tailwaters it is hard to go back to the mountains where the average fish is much smaller. As far as overall fishing quality, the guys that have been fishing the park for a long time will tell you that the fishing was actually better back in the day when more people kept a few fish. The park biologists wish that more people would keep a few fish. The fish this year seem much healthier because nature (using the drought) thinned the fish population so that the remaining fish are all eating well. I haven't caught a skinny fish at all this year. The old timers will also tell how you could pretty much always catch a limit of 10-11 inch fish. So, in the park, I think that there might not be fewer anglers but most all of them are not keeping any fish.
On the other hand, our tailwaters have a much richer food base and catch and release fishing will definitely increase the quality of fishing (assuming that most people would consider catching good numbers of larger fish as "quality"). Personally I find it easy to think of catching big trout all day as quality fishing. In the tailwaters, there's enough food to go around and the fish will grow just so long as they are given the opportunity. Unfortunately (to my selfish mind), TWRA needs to cater to all fishermen meaning that the catch and keep crowd will be keeping those fish before they grow large.
I really like where you said that maybe some streams should be mentioned while others are kept quiet. Streams like Little River, the Clinch, South Holson, Watauga, and Caney are not some well-kept secret. On the other hand, small streams in the park are easy to poach and mentioning them on the internet just gives dishonest anglers the idea to go catch a bunch of specs. I've talked to people that have all kinds of stories about poaching brookies out park streams.
Over the years I've seen lots of people let something slip online about a small stream. They can't handle the same amount of pressure as the tailwaters and within a few months, several people are complaining about the deteriorating quality of fishing on the particular stream. Overall I try to keep specific locations somewhat vague when giving a report on fishing in the park (or other east TN small streams). For a few streams, I won't even mention what county they are in or what larger stream they are a tributary of. They simply can't handle the pressure. If I'm fishing a Little River trib somewhere upstream of Elkmont, I'll simply say I was fishing above Elkmont. This is plenty of information and if someone really wants to explore for themselves they can. Many fisherman have a misguided mentality that leads them to believe that if one person has great success, then it must be the spot and not the fisherman. Come fish the Caney with me sometime and you will see what I mean. When you're catching fish, you'll start collecting a bunch of other fisherman all inching as close as possible. They think it must be the spot. Same thing in mountain streams. If they think I hiked exactly 3 miles above Elkmont before starting to fish and then reported catching 45 fish, then it must be that the fishing is excellent 3 miles from the trailhead. No matter that I could have started fishing at the trailhead or walked 7 miles and caught 45 fish as well...they think it is that exact spot... Sad but it is the way people think...
Well, I'll quit rambling...this is all just my opinion which is constantly changing so take it with a grain of salt. Great topic by the way...I'll be interested to hear other people's take on the subject...

You know what is odd...
People from out of state can bring their boats to TN every weekend and pay the same launch fee as TN Boaters. However; their impact is much greater on the environment than that it would be on fishing. Tourism money talks I guess...Several even register their boats in TN...It is such a farce that I rarely go out and enjoy the area lakes anymore...
However, out of state fishermen get robbed for a 3 or 10 day fishing pass...
I have not seen a TWRA Officer on the Clinch in 20 years....
Also, every other fisherman I see is out of slow and carrying too many fish... I give them a hard time and let them know the rules. Not to be a jerk; but, these fellas are knowledgeable fishermen and know what they are doing.

These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.
I think the biggest problem is that people will not keep fish. Whether it be an elitist mentality or just the die hard opposition to keeping fish, hardly anyone keeps fish anymore. Obviously, when the park did their research and opened all closed Speck waters, they found that fishing pressure had little to do with population decline. Far less than natural selection. Personally, I could care less if the average size of fish ever went up. I can catch 5 inch rainbows until my am hurts and 4 and 5 inch Specks until it falls off. there are plenty of big fish left in the park, and everywhere else for that matter. I just caught a 19 1/2 inch brown out of probably the most heavily pressured area in Western NC a week or two ago. The same stream where there " are no fish left" since the delayed harvest opened up. I have heard it all. If and when the average size does increase how long before the rumors of that spread and everyone comes and keeps one for their wall? if you spend anytime fishing around this area you know that if you walk 2 miles or better you probably aren't going to see anyone and when you do odds are they don't have a clue in Hades what they are doing anyways. Just because you can read a fishing report doesn't mean you are going to catch fish. You still have to get your tail out of the car and walk it in somewhere even when you do read a report about a remote location. Not to mention know what you are doing when you get in there. I don't know how many people I have seen up Deep Creek in Chartreuse Swimming trunks a Neon Shirt, flip flops and a spinning rod. Stream disclosure is a personal issue and if you don't like it, then I understand. But for the majority of what I have seen on this board, People love to read a detailed report because it is going to be a while before they get back up or down to this area. This park is just as much theirs as it is mine or anyone elses, and by the many thanks that usually accompany a report you can see the appreciation of someone who can't run out the next day and go fishing. If it helps them plan a trip for one weekend next May, then who cares?
David, you are exactly right about small streams not handling the pressure. Your reports along with Pete and Craigs are ually detailed enough that there isn't a whole lot left to decipher anyway. If people can't get enough information out of one of these then they probably need to find a better way to spend their time than fishing.
Best of luck out there, and look for a report Monday. Finally getting a new camera to replace the one that was ruined a few months ago. Hence no pictures posted in a while, haha. Just my 2 cents on the subject.
Also if you ever get a chance to make it this way shoot me an email at email@example.com

As item 2 relates to the Park, at least, I wouldn't be offended in the least if TWRA referenced www.smokystreams.com/maps in a publication. Current and would-be anglers can view the maps for free. The agency might prefer to commission some outside mapping company to develop maps on our dime, but I think that would be difficult to sell to the legislature on any special funding during these tough economic times.
One feature of the maps is the highlighting of streams said to hold brook trout by the Fishery Biologists, et al. This gem of the species can stir far more interest than the 'bows and their pursuit would help disperse the "masses" of anglers to the farther reaches.
The maps are clearly not the best in regards to topos, etc., but are far less expensive than a stack of USGS maps. Along those same lines, a goal I have is to make the maps available on CDs, etc. through the Park Stores with proceeds going to the Great Smoky Mountains Association for helping the park.

I kind of think it isn't just fishing but being outdoors in general that is on the decline. I was looking at some of the park statistics here:
Backcountry camping is back down to 1960's levels but the thing that surprised me the most were some of the frontcountry stats. Front country tent camping has dropped off:
2008 - 142,849 camper nights
1979 - 213,565 camper nights
What really surprised me is the huge level of drop off in RV camping inside the park:
2008 - 118,981
1979 - 215,495
Now if anyone would have asked me I would have thought tent camping would be down less than RV camping. Any year you pick and anyway you look at it there just aren't as many people doing outdoor type activities in the smokies despite a rise in the population in general although the drive through in the car crowd is still going strong most just don't leave the car.
The good news is that whenever you are in the backcountry or the frontcountry in some places you will be experiencing the same number of people that were there in the 60s so overcrowding doesn't seem to be that bad. I have spent a lot of Saturday nights this year at formerly popular backcountry sites and was the only one there. I couldn't believe that there was no one at Rich Mtn cs #5 on a nice October Saturday night. Didn't see hardly anyone on the trails either. The more I see that it just amazes me...
Front country camping is probably down because of the increasing cost of a night at a campsite. I used to camp a lot but have a hard time justifying the $20/night...just doesn't fit into my budget very well...

What if front country campsites were scaled back in size and part of the funding to maintain them diverted to building (dare I say it) deeper penetration roads (gravel of course), so that us older types could get more out of a day fishing the upper elevations?

Great comments by all and very good reading. Great general information PeteCz. I think that much of the decline in utilization of our outdoor resources are do to increasing costs, access issues, and the vilification of hunting/fishing in the media.
On the main topic I agree. I really believe that one of the reasons for the size of the trout in the smokies being small is that not enough people keep fish. When I think about warmwater ponds that I have fished I realize that I knew if I went to this pond I would catch 20-30 small bass and a fish over 1 lb was a really nice fish for the pond. If I wanted to catch bigger fish I went to a different pond. I might only get 4 or 5 fish fishing for the same amount of time, but had a real chance at a 5lb plus bass. Do not take this the wrong way, I think it needs to be managed close, I don't want to see it overfished either, but I think that the lack of people keeping fish has changed the fishing in the smokies.
I myself have just changed my habits this fall. I used to never keep any wild fish. Now the fish that I do keep are wild. This is not to say that I am pulling lots of fish out, but the last two day trip I took with a buddy we ended up keeping 4 or 5 fish in two days.
I too have seen some really great/healthy looking fish in the park recently. This more than anything is what has really convinced me that it is really an overpopulation issue, as far as the size of the fish are concerned.
On the issue of sharing/not sharing fishing spots, I tend to lean towards the fact that the vast majority of the people out there are not going to go to the effort to get to most of the out of reach areas. Even I, who have no problem hiking to get to a fishing spot, have probably 15-20 spots that I want to fish from posts that I have read. So far this year I have gotten to a sum total of just one of them. I hope to eventually get to more of them, but know that I will have limitted opportunity to go. Part of the reason for this is distance I know, and I envy all that are so close to the park.
Just a few scattered thoughts from a Marine.

Freedom New Mexico
The Eastern New Mexico University men's soccer team did something Friday it hadn't done against Midwestern State in the equivalent of nearly eight matches. In fact, the Greyhounds did it twice.
ENMU erased a 2-0 deficit with second-half goals by senior defender Dreaux Plair and sophomore defender Michael Stewart, but the second-ranked Mustangs got a late tally from junior midfielder David Freeland to pull out a 3-2 Lone Star Conference win at the ENMU pitch.
The goals were the first for ENMU against the Mustangs (15-0-2, 6-0-1 LSC) since a quarterfinal match in the then-Southwest Soccer Conference tournament Oct. 26, 2006. It ended a scoreless span of 714 minutes, 53 seconds.
It was also the first time the Hounds (8-8-2, 2-5-1) have scored multiple goals against MSU, and the first time they had scored against the Mustangs at home since 2005.
Nathan Fitgerald scored from about 40 yards out and VcMor Eligwe added a header to give the Mustangs a 2-0 halftime lead. Early in the second half, the Hounds missed on two headers off a corner kick before Plair headed in a rebound shot four minutes into the period.
Stewart's tying goal came on a header off a missed header by freshman Jehmaine Brooks with just under 20 minutes left. Freeland netted the game-winner with 4:25 left, converting a through pass from Dean Lovegrove.
While the match ended the season for the Hounds, Midwestern returns to Wichita Falls to host West Texas A&M in its regular-season finale on Sunday, then the LSC tournament beginning on Thursday.
MSU is the lone undefeated team in NCAA Division II and has not lost in 33 matches, dating to last season.

Elemental education
AxS Festival finds enlightenment in Nature, science and the bomb
By Carl Kozlowski 09/29/2011
Beyond its worldwide fame as the home of the Rose Bowl and the annual Tournament of Roses Parade, Pasadena is also renowned for playing host to some of America's top arts and science institutions. And as the executive director of the Pasadena Arts Council, Terry LeMoncheck is helping spotlight that dynamic mix of arts and science — from Caltech to the Huntington Library to Pacific Asia Museum to the Pasadena City College Art Gallery — via the AxS Festival.
The 16-day festival, which runs from Saturday through Oct. 16, offers an eclectic mix of performances, presentations, exhibitions and public conversations at numerous locations across the city. This year's events center on the theme of "Fire and Water," and according to LeMoncheck, it should be a hot time indeed for cultural aficionados.
"I think that this is a way for people to experience our city for two of its greatest assets, the artists and the scientists at our most prestigious venues, by listening to eminent speakers and seeing artworks that were commissioned just for this festival," says LeMoncheck. "What makes this year's festival particularly special is we have significant funding from the James Irvine Foundation, the Parsons Foundation and the NEA to commission new works in theater, dance, sound and visual art."
The AxS Festival — short for Arts and Science Festival — started in 1999 with the goal of occurring every three years, but proved popular enough to be held biennially. While LeMoncheck and her team of organizers are starting to plan for the next fest in 2013, she admits that their hope is to grow AxS into an annual happening.
AxS has already made a big impact on the Pasadena scene, inspiring the creation of twice-yearly ArtNight in which numerous museums and galleries stay open late and share shuttle buses that enable people to explore well into a Friday night. This year's theme of "Fire and Water" enabled planners to focus on the contributions of Caltech and JPL, with the biggest shows being a staged reading of the play "The Love Song of J. Robert Oppenheimer" and the PCC exhibition "Picturing the Bomb," offering the harrowing images of Rachel Fermi, granddaughter of Franco Fermi, who photographed the notorious project over its years of secret planning "One interpretation of the fire angle in this festival is the atomic bomb," says LeMoncheck. "But water is represented by 'Rain After Ash' at the Pacific Asia Museum, which combines theatrical elements with an array of art styles."
"Oppenheimer" portrays the famed scientist's rise and fall, as he was originally hailed for creating the atomic bomb, but eventually became a pariah due to the unforeseen level of damage that the bomb created. After World War II, he was even subjected to hearings of the House Un-American Activities Committee — a turn of events that should provide Caltech Director of Theater Arts Brian Brophy plenty of compelling material to perform and discuss with his graduate student actors as well as the audience.
While "Oppenheimer" dramatizes the life and moral dilemmas of its title character, "Picturing the Bomb" brings the stark reality of the Manhattan Project — the top-secret program that resulted in the atomic bomb — to the fore. The images within are culled from the official Manhattan Project files, where they were intended to serve merely as documentation of the bomb's development and testing, but wound up taking on surreal qualities as the passage of time brought increasing awareness of the horrors the bomb had wrought.
"The first test bomb is shown with so many wires it looks like a Christmas tree, and a photo of the Trinity test explosion looks like a luminous snowball," says LeMoncheck. "We had Fermi and Samra take images that ranged from the casual to the official documentation of the project, and the results wind up suggesting entirely other dimensions."
Among the other top events of the fest are award-winning New York Times journalist Charles Duhigg's discussion of "Toxic Waters" at the Pasadena Central Library and a talk between academic William Deverell and wilderness fire lookout-turned-bestselling author Phillip Connors on the impact of wildfires on the Pasadena region in "Fire Season" at the Huntington Library.
Besides the talks, Steve Roden curates a four-part performance art series called "Ignite/Flow" at the Art Center College of Design's Wind Tunnel Gallery, and art critic and historian Lucy Lippard presents a discussion about art's potential to educate and inspire audiences to take action on climate change issues at the talk "Weather Report: Art and Climate Change" at Art Center's Ahmanson Auditorium.

Lip balm, lighters taken from vehicleMarch 14,2013Lip balm, lighters
taken from vehicle
A Rutland man is accused of breaking into a car in the Green Mountain Shopping Plaza and stealing, among other things, lip balm and several lighters.
Police were called to the plaza on Route 7 in Rutland Town at 1:44 p.m. Tuesday for a report of someone trying to steal DVDs from Hannafords supermarket.
But en route, police were notified that the suspect had moved to the parking lot where a Center Rutland woman said she found a man rooting through her car.
When the woman confronted the man, he turned over several items to her including the lip balm and lighters and then fled behind the Holiday Inn, police said.
After a short foot chase, police say they apprehended Brandon Luther, 21, hiding in a group of trees.
Luther was charged with petty larceny and was taken to the Rutland jail on an outstanding arrest warrant related to another incident.
He was issued a citation to appear in Rutland criminal court to answer to the larceny charge next month.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

60 witnesses may be called
STEUBENVILLE -About 60 witnesses may be called during the trial of two Steubenville High School student-athletes scheduled to start Wednesday in juvenile court in the Jefferson County Justice Center.
Trent Mays, 16, of Bloomingdale and Ma'Lik Richmond, 16, of Steubenville have been charged with rape in connection with an incident that allegedly happened Aug. 11-12. Mays also faces a charge of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material for allegedly having a picture of the victim in an outgoing text message on his cell phone. Attorneys for both defendants have denied the charges.
Judge Tom Lipps, a retired Hamilton County juvenile court judge, will preside over the trial and make the sole determination of guilt or innocence.
The trial will go through at least Friday and Lipps has said court will he held on Saturday and even Sunday if necessary.
The attorney general's office was called to prosecute the case after Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin stepped aside. Marianne Hemmeter and Brian Deckert, assistant attorney generals are expected to call 28 witnesses.
Mays is represented by attorneys Brian Duncan and Adam Nemann. They are expected to call 19 witnesses.
Richmond is represented by attorney Walter Madison, who is expected to call about a dozen witnesses. Lipps permitted Madison to hire a private investigator to help in interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence.
The victim will testify. Witnesses at a prior hearing said the girl was highly intoxicated and barely could walk.
City Police juvenile detective Jean-Philippe Rigaud, who has since left to work with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, testified the victim couldn't say if she was raped because she couldn't remember what happened.
Juvenile court is taking special precautions during the trial and security is expected to be tight around the justice center. A protest is planned at the Jefferson County Courthouse during the trial.
The witnesses also will include three teens who were at the house where the alleged rape occurred – Mark Cole, 17, Anthony Craig, 18, and Evan Westlake, 17.
Nodianos, who is seen in a 12-minute YouTube video making comments about the alleged rape, also is expected to testify. His attorney, Dennis McNamara in January said Nodianos wasn't at the house where the alleged rape occurred.
The Ohio National Organization for Women and UltraViolet, another women's right organization, presented a petition to Ohio Attorney Mike DeWine demanding Nodianos be charged with failure to report a crime.
DeWine said earlier this month his office will announce after the rape trial of Mays and Richmond whether charges will be brought against others. DeWine said his office is continuing its investigation of the incident.
Media outlets from around the state, nation and even international news media is expected to attend the trial.

BSC Criminal Justice Program Completes its Inaugural "Study Abroad" Program (w/photo)
CreatedMonday, May 03 2010
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
The Bluefield State College Criminal Justice Program recently completed its first Study Abroad Program, a ten-day study and tour of the Bermuda Department of Corrections system. Pictured (left-to-right) are BSC Criminal Justice Program chair Mike Lilly, Criminal Justice faculty member Shelia Hallman-Warner, and BSC students Raeann Osborne, Linette Johnson, and Dorcena Ross.
(Bluefield)—The Bluefield State Criminal Justice Program recently completed its first Study Abroad program. BSC Criminal Justice students Raeann Osborne, Linette Johnson, and Dorcena Ross, along with Assistant Professor Shelia Hallman-Warner and Program Chair Mike Lilly, were guests of the Bermuda Department of Corrections during a ten-day study of the Bermuda correctional system.
In addition, they spent a day with Court Services, attended Drug Court, Family Court, and met with Probation and Parole Officers. The group also met with the Bermuda Police Department to learn about the organization and operation of the department.
"The foundation of our system of justice in America is predicated on that of the British Territories," Professor Hallman-Warner noted. "This seemed to be a practical choice in terms of a comparative study. It provided a learning experience that cannot be duplicated in the classroom, as well the opportunity to explore and experience another culture, and gain memories for a lifetime."

The Citi Foundation and the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship have teamed up to help youth in 10 cities "make their own job" through the development of an entrepreneurial mindset critical to succeeding in a 21st century economy and workforce. Additionally, resources for all young people interested in making their own jobs will be made available through a fun and engaging gaming experience at www.makeyourjob.org.
MakeYourJob.org is a dynamic, youth-centered web experience that converts key aspects of NFTE's entrepreneurship program into a game and rewards-based experience that demonstrates how to turn one's hobby or interest into a business. By offering our unique content, integrated online games and tools, access to expert video advice and a peer community to students for free, NFTE can reach a vast array of young who need help making their own jobs as they face a weak summer jobs market.
NFTE BizCamps® are two-week intensive entrepreneurship programs designed to unlock the entrepreneurial mindset in youth as each participant builds a full plan for an original business idea of their own. Students cover all aspects of what it takes to start a business including learning about opportunity recognition, market research, sales and business financials. Through the process and a series of project-based learning activities integrated in the program they learn to think and act like entrepreneurs – see an opportunity, act on it, persevere and learn from setbacks and change course in ways that lead to success. BizCamps® culminate in a business plan competition judged by local high profile entrepreneurs and executives. In the summer of 2014 thanks to the support of the Citi Foundation, 18 camps served more than 350 young people in 10 cities across the U.S.:
- Baltimore
- Bridgeport (CT)
- Chicago
- Dallas
- Los Angeles
- Miami
- New York City
- Newark
- San Francisco
- Washington, D.C.
BizCamps are currently being planned for 12 cities in summer 2015.
Startup Summer
Startup Summer is NFTE's business accelerator program. Young people who have already completed NFTE's core entrepreneurship program either in their classroom or through a BizCamp® are eligible to apply. Participants are led through all aspects of creating their business and given seed capital to actually start operations over the course of the summer. Startup Summer also acts as a summer job for the participants as they are paid to participate. By actually starting a business, and practicing the skills of an entrepreneur, participants deepen their understanding and application of the entrepreneurial mindset which will be vital to their future economic success. Through a final investment panel, participants are given the opportunity to secure additional capital to support their ongoing enterprise. With the support of the Citi Foundation, in 2014 the program will serve 35 young people New York City, more than doubling its reach from 2013, and Startup Summer launched in Los Angeles serving 15 young entrepreneurs.
We look forwad to continuing Startup Summer in these two critical cities, and to expanding the program to new markets in 2015.

Irrelevant post - Lin can't make more than 5million. "purported knowledgeable basketball fans don't seem to pay attention to the new CBA and limitations of the CBA to people finishing up their 2nd year - 1st contract"
"He can't demand more money" - he potentially can earn 5$ million max.
Your "commentary demanding much more money that he's worth in the basketball market" could only apply to Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire.
* Note - I'm using this as an obvious example because of how much they are being paid. I'm happy with the effort, hustle, intensity, rebounding and defensive - improvements from both players. This is not a knock toward those two. I am just setting the record straight with Takman's statement.
and giving Lin an excuse to demand much more money than he's worth in the Basketball market.
contrasted with his other statement - same post -
all I've witnessed from this, is an increase of incredibly unknowledgeable fans who will only root for Lin and have no understanding of even the most fundamental aspects of basketball.
I question being able to make those 2 statements in the SAME post - while completely ignoring the new CBA. A knowledgeable basketball fan that understands basketball and the business would take the CBA #1 as the starting point in discussing market value. #2 Using their "knowledge" they would state that there is a ceiling - the 5million $ MLE. #3 There would not even be a start to discussing "demands for much more money than he is worth"
Last edited by kinein; Mar 19, 2012 at 18:59.
I've stopped reading most of the articles about Lin via the internet. Most of these websites only want the traffic. And, most of the articles are pure speculation. But, so are the sports news channels, I guess.
"Winner of the coveted "Chink in the Armor" award!"
id keep Lin or only person i would trade for is a healthy Rubio.. wouldnt want a shoot first PG ... thats why we got Melo and Stat to distribute so they make the points...
"I'm more concern how Melo is gonna play with Lin" Joe Budden
Somehow I think Lin will be making a lot of money during this off-season from endorsement alone. He will be a very rich young man regardless of where he plays as long as it's in the NBA.
Personally I don't think he has any loyalty to the Knicks yet. His favorite team growing up was the Warriors. Yeah, I would trade him for the right piece. I am not sure Dolan would pull the trigger though. Lin makes Knicks a more recognizable name in Asia.
Did someone post about Knicks being one of the most profitable NBA teams before Linsanity? I don't doubt it. I can also tell you that nobody would turn away opportunities to make more money. Why would Dolan want to part with Lin when he stands to make so much more money?
The problem with trading for a PG who's better NOW is that the chances of us affording that player in the near future is significantly lower than affording Lin. I'd take my chances on the potential of Lin being a perennial All-Star and keeping him.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
Why fix something that isnt broke? We are playing well again and Lin has the potential to become an All-Star in my opinion. Lets develop some talent for a change rather than buying it. Its cheaper for a start!
Will we ever win a championship again? Id like to think so!
I would trade Lin for Steph Curry in a heartbeat.
Remember how we were without Lin? Absolutely terrible.
We need legit point guards.
Eventhough trading Lin would be good because we would get value, he is still very young...wants to be here...HAS ICE IN HIS VAINS WHICH RARE AND PERFECT FOR NY...and he won't cost as much as he is actually worth.
He will most likely sign here for the mid levell exception at 5 mil a year when he will be worth more than that in a year or two so we can get a steal of a deal.
We need Lin.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
The only PG's in the league I'd say are even in the conversation would be Rubio and Lowry.
Rubio would be ok but his injury history is worrying, at least he has a small contract.
Lowry would cost us more but is way more reliable and consistent.
Either way we won't trade Lin it's a moot point.
Why would you even bring up the economics of basketball as one of its most fundamental aspects. It's not. Basketball is a sport. How much money players make out of that sport has nothing to do with the fundamentals of how you play this sport. Watching a load of bandwagon fans on tv holding signs that state "We are here to watch Jeremy Lin" indicates how dumbed down a sport can become when people buy into hype created by the league and the media for commercial purposes.
Did I know about Lin's contract situation; No I didn't. These people get paid far more than what they offer society anyway so the economics of professional sports is not something I examine in detail. Still, the theory behind it stands, that whilst bandwagoners elevate you to godly status when you haven't proven yourself, you as a player can demand more that you're worth (maybe not so much next season, but in seasons to come) as a result of your idiot followers who you can claim are bringing money into the franchise because of you. How many new members on here alone since the emergence of Lin? Basketball is a team sport, and unless we are talking Michael Jordan, one player cannot be allowed to dominate people's perception of the sport. Especially someone like Lin who is not even a top 10 PG (for the moment anyway).
EDIT: Just to add; Stoudamire and Anthony at least have a history of positive contributions that extends to more than just 20 games. Yes they milked the Knicks for everything they could get, but they were proven performers. What's Lin's history of contributions? The only thing Lin could use to attempt to increase his worth, is the bandwagon mob and a few games worth of performances. Remember; Form is temporary, class is permanent. Lin's ability should be assessed throughout the space of a few years; not a few games.

TIP: Enter Your Caps Faster
by SweetestDeals
[DISCLAIMER: This might work for me simply because of my browser (Firefox) and/or certain combinations of add-ons, so it might not work for everyone.]
When you enter a code on the MCR site, I'm pretty convinced that the codes are pre-programmed with the number of points you will receive for it. So after you type you code (or copy/paste) and press Enter, don't bother clicking the bottle to select the flavor it came from--and (at least for me) you don't have to click that black X. Just type or paste the next code over the last one, press Enter, and keep repeating.
You won't see your points total increase until you do select a flavor but if you enter 10 codes, for example, and click a flavor only for the 10th code, you'll see them increase 30 points all at once.
~ Be sure you press Enter after each code, otherwise you obviously won't get credited for it.
~ Keep an eye out for the error box to show up. It's easier to miss than you might think when you're using this method.
~ As I'm sure some would point out, there's always the option of using the MCR widget (which doesn't ask you about flavors at all), but this is the next best thing if you're not excited about having to install Yahoo! Widgets just to use it.
Identifying Coke products
by farmerK
You may want to know what type of drink a particular MCR flap came from. If, for example, MCR has another selective point-doubling day (in fall 2007, there was a week when Minute Maid and Nestea codes doubled), it would be handy to know if some of the flaps you have saved up are the right type. With that in mind, I made a few notes on the fridge-pack circle-and-bottle logos which are currently in use:
Red circle, white bottle: All Coke products (Coke, Diet Coke, Caffeine Free Coke, Coke Zero & etc.) and Barqs
Dark green circle, white bottle: Sprite
Green circle, white bottle: Vault, Fanta
Lime green circle, white bottle: Vault Zero
Medium blue circle, white bottle: Nestea
Dark blue circle, white bottle: Fresca
White circle, black bottle: Minute Maid
Cap colors:
Red (Regular/"Enter Code"): Coke brands
Red ("Get Rewarded"): Coca Cola Classic, Caffeine Free Coke Classic
Blue (Dark): Sprite and Fanta brands
Blue (Light/Turquoise): Dasani Flavors, Diet Coke Plus
Green (Light): Minute Maid, Nestea
Green (Dark): Sprite, Sprite Zero, Fanta Orange, and Fanta Orange Zero
Grey: Diet Coke, Pibb, Barq's, Fresca, Vault
Black (Small): Coke Zero, Pibb, Barq's, Fresca, Minute Maid, Dasani Flavors, Vault
Black (Big #1): Powerade
Black (Big #2): Minute Maid
The red caps with a red bottle in a white circle come up with only Classic Coke and CF Classic Coke (or unknown) as flavor options.
The red caps with a white bottle (only; no white circle) give you the options for cherry coke and diet flavors like diet with lime and so on.
Perhaps saving some of these red caps w/o a white circle may be benefitial in the future.

If anyone thinks some stuff in the wiki should go in the OP, let me know. (And vice-versa.) I removed a dumptruck load of 15-character code info.
(Gee, there's an OP badge too! The perks are nice in this gig. Nice work if you can get it as they say. But as Spidey says, with great power, comes great responsibility!)

It's called Naruto Eledia. It has some excellent artwork and writing. The guy who makes it is on a short hiatus, but I'd still recommend checking it out.
