Agnes Miller
Fern, Wis. – Agnes V. Miller, 98, of Fern, peacefully accepted comfort in the Lord's everlasting arms on Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013, at Golden Living Center in Florence, Wis.
Born Sept. 26, 1914, Agnes was the first of 10 children born to the late Henry and Anna Hansen on their small, first-settler farm carved from the deep woods five miles east of Ingalls, Mich. She assisted with raising her nine younger siblings while her mother worked the family farm and her father was away in lumberjack camps for weeks at a time.
Agnes married Gust Miller of Menominee on Sept. 22, 1936, applying her child-rearing skills to her new family that included five children in Gust's care from a previous marriage. Seeking a fresh start, the couple moved to Florence where they established and briefly operated a cheese factory before moving to Fence for a short time; then, settling on a farm on the Patten Lake Road in Fern.
Adding six children to the family from their marriage, the couple raised their family of 11 on the farm in Fern where Agnes resided until Gust's death in 1977. Agnes lived her last years in Florence and most recently resided under the watchful eye of caring staff at the Golden Living Center.
Agnes received greatest satisfaction from service to family, friends, and the community. She was a long-time Sunday school teacher and active member of the Fence Bible Church. She was humbled by the responsibility entrusted to her by friends and neighbors that elected, then re-elected, her many times to serve as treasurer for the Town of Fern.
One of Agnes' most fulfilling accomplishments was collaboration with her son, Tom to author and publish a book in 1998 titled: "A Ballad Remembered-An Upper Peninsula Childhood." Written as a legacy for her children and grandchildren, Agnes recounted in her book ordinary events in her early life that provide an unvarnished glimpse at the family's struggle to survive, and insights into the character and personality of ancestors long since passed away who will never be known by future generations other than through her written words.
The unassuming matriarch of our family leaves us physically, but will remain in our hearts and memories forever. Agnes' gentle presence will be missed by her stepson, Oscar Miller, Eden Prairie, Minn.; and children, Marlene Fontana, San Diego, Calif., Bonnie LaMar, San Jose, Calif., David Miller, Port Washington, Robert Miller, Germantown, Thomas Miller, Sussex, Rodney (Nancy) Miller, Florence; brother, Chester (Eleanor) Hansen, Kewaunee; sisters, Grace (Norman) Harrison, Fence, Donna Mae Vincent, Sturgeon Bay; and three step-daughters-in law. She also leaves numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
Agnes was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Anna (Johnson) Hansen; husband, Gust Miller; step-children, Dorothy Vassar, Herman Miller, Donald Miller and Leslie Miller; two step-grandsons, Kenneth Vassar, Vaughn Miller; a special daughter-in-law, Wendy; two sons-in-law; two stepdaughters-in-law; one stepson-in-law; and siblings, Carol, Herbert, Alfred, Donald and Robert.
The visitation will be Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. at the Fence Bible Church, Fence. A luncheon will be served at the Fence Town Hall from noon to 3 p.m., followed by a special tribute and celebration of Agnes' life from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the hall. Private funeral services will be held for immediate family members at the Fence Bible Church at 4 p.m. Rev. Tim Smith will officiate.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that the comfort Agnes received from her faith in God be honored with contributions to the Fence Bible Church.
The family has chosen the Jacobs-Lundholm Funeral Home, Florence, to honor Agnes' legacy of life.

I'm gonna toss this out there, to see the responses to the ad. Is it racial pandering or is this an issue? Let's keep it constructive & intelligent so it doesn't get locked.
The message on dozens of billboards across the city is provocative: Black children are an "endangered species."
The eyebrow-raising ads featuring a young black child are an effort by the anti-abortion movement to use race to rally support within the black community.
In 2008, Issues4Life, a California-based group working to end abortion in the black community, lobbied Congress to stop funding Planned Parenthood, calling black abortions "the Darfur of America."
Some numbers:
Birth rate per 1000 of 10-14 year old girls- white: .5, black: 1.8, hispanic: 1.4
Total numbers- white: 3884, black: 3188, hispanic: 2421
Considerably higher rate/ 1000, but overall numbers much closer. Is it a reflection of ethnic values or a numbers anomaly?

Channeling the Pacific Northwest - Page 2
Nicaragua and El Salvador declared states of emergency. I declared a state of depression.
For the first few days, I created excuses to leave the trail shoes in the suitcase. "I'm on vacation, it's 5 o'clock somewhere, and give me a rum drink."
Finally, on the third afternoon, as I watched water fill a half-coconut shell in our casita's yard, I cracked. I needed a run like a Toucan craves Fruit Loops. Putting down my 10th cup of coffee, I decided, "If Portlanders can deal with these conditions for half the year, I can for a week."
I slipped on my shoes and headed up a muddy road lined with impenetrable jungle on both sides. Two stray dogs appeared from beyond a barbed-wire fence and gave chase. As my pace picked up, so did the driving rain. I hopped over pothole puddles, and at creek crossings kept a wary eye out for crocodiles. I called it good after four sloppy miles.
The next day I ditched the rainy jungle run in favor of a rainy beach one. I wondered if I might appreciate the virtues of barefoot running, and the wild-eyed enthusiasm of Vibram Five Fingers zealots. "Dude, it will change your life," one Bay Area runner had told me.
Running along the surf, I found the mystical line between sand that is too hard and too soft. I also discovered that swim trunks are not designed for men who run. Denim would have chafed less. Sand fleas nibbled at my ankles and would leave me scratching for days.
These runs were leading to more misery than bliss.
Running and vacation go hand in hand for me. On holidays I'm less of a slave to responsibilities than normal, and have the liberty to stretch five-milers into 10-milers. Sometimes I'll go out twice a day.
A day or two later, I returned to the jungle, though the skies had grown even gloomier as the vacation continued. I put on my still-dripping shoes. Would it be out of the question to put coffee in a handheld water bottle?

Ragle Gumm has a unique job: Every day he wins a newspaper contest. And when he isn't consulting his charts and tables, he enjoys his life in a small town, in 1959. At least, that's what he thinks. But then strange things start happening. He finds a phone book where all the numbers have been disconnected, and a magazine article about a famous starlet named Marilyn Monroe, whom he's never heard of. Plus, everyday objects are beginning to disappear and are replaced by strips of paper with words written on them, like "bowl of flowers" and "soft-drink stand". When Ragle skips town to try to find the cause of these bizarre occurrences, his discovery could make him question everything he has ever known.

Love having someone read me a story. Fires in the hearth, rain on the roof, sunny days and surf. Good friends, good food and J S Bach.
"Well ahead of his time even in 1959"
People who know PKD's works do not need a review.
To hear one of PKD's earlier novels has been a great experience. His stories travel better through time than most of Heinlein's novels. At times I was reminded of 'The Manchurian Candidate' ( Richard Condon, 1959) and of the more recent CIA experiments in mind control.
I was/am keen to again hear Heinlein's 'Moon is a Harsh Mistress' (that I do rank as one of my favouite stories) after listening to this.
Jeff Cummings' reading was good as were the ideas embedded in the story. The quest for the nature of reality and the nature of words in defining percieved reality is interesting at very least. ( Not a spoiler because that is not the story, just following through to his later works.)
For anyone new to PKD this is a mystery story set in a future written over 50 years ago, and not too hard to follow,
For me it was a great listen.
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"Mediocre Mother to Gravity's Rainbow and the Truman Show?"
A book that could have inspired both Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow (anticipation of rockets) and the Truman Show (community set up around one man). While I give it points for anticipating a couple generations early the narcissism of the 21st century, the absurdity of American Exceptionalism, the shallow falseness of community on FB, etc., it was in the end just too damn slow. Most of the narrative was underwater. Not as kinetic or beautiful as his later stuff (read, it is sometimes boring). There was no rush. There were no prose daisies to pick as I picked through the pages. It was good just not great. It was PKD, just not great PKD
"Nice and Easy until Something Gives!"
The nice and easy fifties, families living their post war lives until one day something odd happens. Discover ever so slowly what is hidden and then hang on for the ride of a lifetime!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, even though it starts out very slow, almost boring. It is so worth it, because it intensifies the suspense that builds up slowly until suddenly everything falls apart and the reader sits at the edge of the seat until the last page!
"Sounds like its the basis of a lot of other storie"
Has a lot of star was tropes, but like usual with Dick this is their birth place.
"technically 3.5 stars for the story"
Master of the weird, Philip K. Dick takes us back to a 1958 world revolving around Ragle Gum, literally. Famous for continuously winning a newspaper contest and the subject of news himself, everyone seems to know him. However, as we read more, nothing is ever at it appears.
I appreciate this work as a classic from a twisted mind, but it is more predictable than most. The twist comes in the second half of the story as in the first half we are only given the background, the drawing of the picture of Mr. Gum's life consumed by winning entries in the newspaper contest.
Where he becomes confused, so perhaps, do the readers, drawing conclusions, forming theories and reading just one more chapter to find the clues as to what is really going on.
Without spoilers, this is definitely from the mind of Mr. Philip K. Dick.
"Good Dick, PK"
First experience with Dick, PK. I was as lost as Gumm at first, turned out to be... Out there, in a good way.
The narrator did a great job of making most of the characters sound annoying, esp the woman and children. At first I hated, but I ended up thinking that the annoying voices added to Gumm's psychosis.
digital magician
"Couldn't get past the narrator..."
Maybe it's my relative inexperience with audiobooks, but the varying voices in the narration felt corny and grating. I listened to all of fifteen minutes before I had to stop. I found it so distracting that I really can't vouch for the story itself at all - I'm merely assigning a best guess based on my knowledge of the author and appreciation of the genre. Caveat emptor.
"Very good, but the misogyny is hard to take"
The plot was fantastic, but the relentlessly dim, trivial female characters, and the awful ways the men related to them made it hard to listen to.
I won't rush to listen another Philip K Dick, even though I bought several in one go.

Details. Precise observations that paint a picture. They're the difference between simply reading a story and having a sense of being on the scene.
The Holy Spirit superintended Luke's eye for detail to create an amazing, moment-by-moment chronicle of the turning point of history: the crucifixion of Jesus.
You'll watch in stunned silence as the crucifiers try making Jesus' execution into a comedy. You'll hear the crowd's merciless insults, and the Lord's merciful intercession on their behalf. You'll meet a wretch who found life on the hill of death--a conversion at Calvary. And in the disorienting blackness from noon to three, your eyes will be opened to a truth you may have never understood: on that day 2,000 years ago, hell came to Jerusalem!
In it all, God was making forgiveness for sin and eternal life possible. Which makes The Crucifixion Chronicle good news indeed.

This is all part of a grand plan by Gaddafi to make his desert nation self-sufficient in food.This is all part of a grand plan by Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi to make his desert nation self-sufficient in food through long-term deals with nearby countries to grow food for Libya. Mali's president has agreed to the scheme, which numerous experts say will enhance Libyan food security at the expense of Malian food security by sucking dry the river that feeds the inland delta, diminishing the seasonal floods that support rich biodiversity — and thriving agriculture and fisheries vital to a million of Mali's poorest citizens — on the edge of the Sahara desert.
The delta is a vital green resource for both humans and wildlife on the edge of the Sahara.the amount of water taken from the river for irrigation. The director general of Malibya, Abdalilah Youssef, boasted in 2008 that his new canal could supply up to 4 cubic kilometers of water a year to the enterprise's fields of rice, tomatoes, and fodder crops for cattle. The current take for all other existing irrigation projects is 2.7 cubic kilometers a year.
Any disruption of the region's traditional way of life could feed Al Qaeda's violent agenda.made of nylon and come from China; the kids wear Obama T-shirts and support European soccer teams; motorbikes are starting to replace donkeys; there is sporadic cellphone coverage and young village men break the still wetland nights with their sound systems. These days, too, traditional lines of ethnicity and livelihood are blurred as cattle herders take up fishing, fishers harvest grain, and millet farmers go herding. But the fecundity of the delta remains the basis of their survival in one of the poorest countries on Earth.

by Barbara A. Chaapel
framed keepsake holds the place of honor among the Engles gallery of paintings and
mementos because the loves of Joe Engles life his wife, Elizabeth, Reformed
preaching, organ music, and Scotland all came together on an Edinburgh Saturday
morning twenty years ago.
Engle was a tourist that day in the land of his ancestors when he walked into St. Giles
Cathedral for the first time in his life. I wanted to see where John Knox had
preached in the 1560s and to hear the organ, he remembers. He approached an elder
arranging flowers for an afternoon wedding and asked her where the console was located.
She didnt know, he laughs, but I asked her to have dinner with
me. She turned me down, but invited me to tea, and we had dinner the next night.
Eighteen months and fifteen trips to Scotland later, Engle married Elizabeth Barr.
Joe Engle has always loved the Presbyterian Church. A native Ohioan, he traces his
Scottish Presbyterian roots back to 1690, and more recently to the Fairmont Presbyterian
Church in Cleveland, where he was ordained an elder. He is proud to be part of a tradition
that educates its clergy to preach carefully prepared sermons.
A good sermon lifts you up to the goodness of life, opens a window to God,
he says. Wherever there is strong preaching, there is a strong church.
And Joe Engle knows that it is not just the minister who makes preaching strong. It is
also the seminary, and the committed lay person. Engle served for nine years on the Union
Seminary (New York) board of trustees and endowed a chair in preaching there. James
Forbes, minister of Riverside Church in New York, was its first occupant.
While on the Union board, Engle met James Kay, then a Ph.D. candidate at Union and now
on the PTS faculty. He began to learn of Princetons historic commitment to teaching
both homiletics and speech.
So many theological seminaries today do not require their students to even audit
a course in homiletics, Engle opines, let alone take a course for credit.
[Princeton requires both.] Because Princeton is so serious about preaching, it made it
easy for me to want to support their efforts.
Support them he did, endowing the Joe R. Engle Chair in Homiletics and Liturgics in
1997 (now occupied by James Kay) and in 1999, a new chair in preaching named to honor his
wife the Elizabeth M. Engle Chair in Homiletics, which has been assigned to Nora
Tubbs Tisdale.
Ive been blessed in being exposed to so many wonderful preachers in my
lifetime, Engle says, naming Ganse Little, Theodore Parker Ferris, David H. C. Read,
James Forbes, and Thomas Tewell. They have had a profound effect on me, and I want
to do whatever I can to assure that the church will continue to train these wonderful
messengers of hope.
Joe and Elizabeth Engles generosity does not stop with supporting future
preachers. While Joe is not himself a musician, he says that the sound of the pipe organ,
the king of instruments, feeds his soul.
Twenty years ago, Engle gave a new pipe organ to the Presbyterian Church in Coshocton,
Ohio, in honor of his parents, who were longtime members of that congregation. More
recently, he and Elizabeth provided a small Allen organ to the 100-member church they
belong to in the Cayman Islands. The church, founded in 1846 by a Church of Scotland
minister from Jamaica, seats 128 people, and it is a short walk from the Engles
vacation home on the island.
Joe and Elizabeth Engle
The tracker organ, chosen by the chapel renovation committee and by C. F. Seabrook
Director of Music Martin Tel, is a mechanical-action, rather than an electrical-action,
instrument. Everything is connected mechanically in a tracker organ, Engle
explains, so you hear a cleaner sound. He is thrilled with the selection of
Fritts to build the Miller organ. Although he doesnt know Fritts personally, Engle
calls him one of the top organ builders in the nation. Joe is an organ
groupie, laughs Elizabeth.
Elizabeth and Joe do not support the churchs preaching and music ministry from a
distance. In the 1980s, they were members of Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in
Manhattan, where Elizabeth was an elder. Today they worship at Fifth Avenue, in part
because they can walk to church. Its our neighborhood church, says Joe.
Fifth Avenues ministry gives them hope at a time when they know that many
churches are struggling. On Easter there were lines of people around the block
waiting to get into the sanctuary, Engle says. There were more than 3,400
people in church that day; they were literally standing in the aisles.
He also applauds that congregations center of adult Christian education, a dream
of its pastor, Tom Tewell (Class of 1973). It brings hundreds of people to the church on
weeknights to study theology and the Bible.
Joe Engles enthusiasm for the ministry of the Reformed family of the church of
Jesus Christ is more contagious because it is not naive. I know there is a lot of
tension in the Presbyterian Church today, a lot of fights, he says. But we
should remember that these troubles are not unique to our time in history. Consider the
fact that all the pipe organs in Scotland were destroyed after the Reformation, and it was
only in 1807 that the first organ in Scotland was reinstalled in St. Andrews
Church, Glasgow. The outcry was so great against it that it remained only a few months
before the presbytery ruled the use of organs in public worship of God contrary to the law
of the land and of the church.
It was not until 1878 that an organ was built in St. Giles, the first organ
successfully installed in post-Reformation Scotland.
Joe Engle plans to be on hand when the new organ is installed and dedicated in Miller
Chapel in the fall of 2000. Though he had never visited the Seminary campus before 1992
and has never heard a sermon preached in Miller Chapel, he looks forward to hearing the
Word of God preached there and honored by the new organs rich chords.
To listen to the sounds of a great tracker organ and have it followed by a fine
sermon is, for me, the most wonderful experience in the world.

Note: It is recommended that fabric be 100% cotton, pre-washed and well ironed. Requirements are based on fabric 112 cm wide (44 in). A seam allowance of ¼ inch has been used in this project.
Print out the letters to spell "be merry" using template provided (Font used: Mellow; Size : 370). Trace the letters in reverse onto the back of the appliqué film (paper side). Cut around the letters leaving ½ cm allowance. Press the letters onto white felt. Cut out the letters, and peel off the paper backing.
Trace the scallop templates onto card and cut out. Trace the flower template onto card and cut out.
Cut out the fabrics. Using the felt template, cut out 5 large scallops out of red felt; and 5 out of green felt.
Using the Cotton template, cut out 5 medium scallops out of red printed cotton; and 5 out of green printed cotton.
Using the pressing template, cut out 10 scallops out of interfacing. Cut the polka dot binding fabric into 3 strips, each measuring 5 cm.
Using the flower template, cut out 9 flowers from red and green felt.
Press the interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric scallops.
Using spray starch, moisten the edges of a fabric scallop. Place the scallop face down on the ironing board, put the pressing template on top, and press the edges over the template. Remove the template. The fabric scallop should have ¼ inch seam allowance pressed to the back. Repeat for all 10 scallops.
Alternating red and green scallops, press the letters to the middle of the scallops. Stitch around the letters using perle thread and a running stitch. With the letters fused to red fabric, stitch in green perle cotton. With the letters on the green fabric, stitch in red perle cotton.
Layer the red scallops onto green felt, and the green scallops onto red felt. Pin the ricrac under the edge of the cotton fabric so half the ricrac is visible. Stitch the fabric scallops to the felt using a scant seam allowance, catching the ricrac in position as you stitch. Repeat for all the scallops.
Position the scallops so that the colors alternate and spell out "be merry" There should be an extra scallop at each end, and one between the words.
Stitch the three binding strips together using a mitred join. Press the strip in half lengthwise. Open it out and then fold each long edge in towards the crease and press. Fold in half again to create a strip that measures 1.25 cm x 318 cm (approx).
Pin the binding over the top of the scallops. The scallops should be positioned 2.5 cm apart, with equal lengths of binding at each end. Stitch the flags to the binding, and press.
Make 9 yo yo's using the yo yo maker and white fabric following the directions on the yoyo maker. If you do not have a yoyo maker, make a cardboard circle template that is 10 cm in diameter. Use this template to trace circles on the wrong side of your fabric. Following your traced line, cut out a circle of fabric. Fold under a scant 3 mm along the edge of your circle and stitch close to the edge. Use a strong thread and make sure that it is long enough to go right around the circumference of your circle. Pull on the thread to gather the edges to the center. Flatten the yoyo and even out the gathers. Sew a few stitches to secure.
Layer a yoyo onto a felt flower and stitch them together, positioning a button in the center (Refer to photograph).
Stitch a Yoyo flower between each scallop.

Hey hey, I'm back from my trip to England, and I managed to make every day a Beatle day. I went on a rock n roll tour that was amazing, and saw such Beatles sites as MPL, Trident Studios, the Bag O Nails, Savile Row, and a lot more. On a trip out to St John's Wood, I saw Tony Bennett being filmed outside Abbey Road Studios, walked the crosswalk, and I swear I saw Heather Mills driving a Mercedes on Cavendish Avenue. I bought enough cds that my Macca collection is almost complete, save for the period between Pipes, Broad Street, Press, and the live albums.
I also learned that my aunt was a massive Beatles fan as a child, joined the fan club, and even saw the Beatles in Worcester before they were banned (oooh). She naturally got all the fan club perks, christmas discs, etc...and then, to my horror, had to burn them all because she was moving into a new house and there was no room.
And boy, there were a lot of books. Blackbird Singing, I Saw Him Standing There, The Complete Beatles (Lewishon), and the Beatles Diary 1970-2001. I also got a little Hofner bass.
Just excited to have new things, that's all.

Pre-Register for the White Privilege Conference
This pre-registration and discount is only for members of the Quaker community. Everyone else should register directly through WPC's website.
This year, FGC is also inviting youth to join the Quaker group at the White Privilege Conference in Madison, when accompanied by parents/guardians. WPC offers the Youth Action Project for high schoolers, which runs concurrent to WPC, and one-day Youth Institutes for both middle and high school students. Due to fixed costs, the FGC discount does not apply to youth programming; however, youth still must pre-register with FGC to take advantage of home hospitality and transportation assistance.
Youth are expected to register with a parent or guardian, or a chaperone selected by the parents/guardians to take responsibility for the youth. Chaperones serving in the place of parents/guardians, for example to accompany youth sponsored by a meeting, are asked to take responsibility for no more than three youth (including their own). Parents or legal guardians are responsible for affirming that their youth is mature enough to participate as a full member of the Conference in accordance with the WPC Community Agreement.
FGC asks youth who attend to provide a report (which could be written or done creatively, such as a piece of art or video) on the impact of the conference for FGC and to share with their monthly meeting. Youth are also encouraged to prepare for the conference by reading one or more of the WPC-provided resource materials.

Fly selection/hints/tips for the Caney?
I had a few questions regarding flies and techniques for the Caney. Lately it seems as if the fishing has died down a bit, and I want more action! Haha.
For wooly buggers/streamers, are beadheads necessary? I've noticed that they fly extremely weird when they have beadheads, and don't go very far. Also, what types of streamers are commonly hit?
For midges, it seems like there are only a handful of sections you can successfully fish due to the water depth. For the sections that are over 3' in depth, could you just add more tippet to get the midge down there or how does that go? I'm not talking about fishing like 10' holes, more along the lines of 4-6'.
I need every bit of info I can get, so let's have it!
Trey Nichols- email@example.com
You will find that typically this time of year the fishing dies down everywhere. The reason for this is the fish's metabolism also slows this time of year. They do not have to eat as much to get through the day. For this reason, they are also less likely to travel very far for a meal, so you must place the fly on their nose.
Regarding your question about streamers and midges. I always tie my streamers with a conehead and wrap the shank with lead wire so it sinks quickly. Does it make a difference? I don't know, it is just personal preference. When fishing a midge in a deep hole, you have to realize that if the hole is 3' deep that putting your indicator 3' up from the fly will not get it to the bottom. The reason is that underwater currents and drag on the fly line will cause the line to take a sagging appearance. So, you may only be fishing 2' deep, but you believe you are deeper. The best way to get deeper is to add more weight by either adding split shot, or my favorite is to add another nymph 12" below the first. This not only doubles your chances at a hookup and allows you to work more of the water column, but also gives additional weight to reduce the sag in your line and have a more vertical presentation.
From my experience when fishing a hole that is around 4' deep, I would put my indicator about 6' above my bottom midge if using 2 size 20 bh zebra midges. A technique and setup I commonly use on the Clinch.
Hope this helps.

Good advice Travis, the only thing i will add, anyday fishing beat's a day at work
"You will find that typically this time of year the fishing dies down everywhere." I just simply have to agree! I can tell you that you would probably be better off just staying at home and tying! I, for one, won't be anywhere near water till spring! It's pretty darn cold too, gosh your fly guides will probably freeze and you probably won't do any damage fishing! I'd probably just pick another hobby! Yep, another hobby!
Now now, that is just not an option Fishing is so much more than the pursuit of fish!
Travis, I like the idea of 3 flies but I would CRY if I got snagged and had to break the line. As Brett suggested, I need to start tying but I think I would get frustrated very fast! I've watched my midge while I was in waist deep water, and I could definitely see that it wasn't as deep as I expected it to be, and that it was following behind the indicator. So, if I just added more tippet on top of that, it would still be deeper than before... Could I add like 3' of tippet and have it 2' down? Seems plausible to me, I just need a yes or no.
Trey Nichols- email@example.com
Longer tippet will equal a shallower drift unless you do the heavier fly or splitshot.
That may get you down there. But I prefer to use an indicator so that I can easily adjust my depth until I am just above bottom.
I'm not talking about fishing 3 flies. I am referring to using 2 nymphs and an indicator.

I've never fished the caney, so i can't answer much for that river. I have, however, fished another "midge river" full of big browns in the south holston. i would also say that the winter is my favorite time to fish the soho. one reason being that im away most of the summer because of summer break from college and im here all winter. another is that the big fish seam to become more active and willing in the winter. or maybe they just congregate more in specific areas post spawn. i can point to three or four runs i know hold big fish in late feb or march. do i hook and land this fish, often? heck no. i'll tell you my approach to this river in winter months though.
first i start with a 7.5 ft 5x leader, and tie and about two and a half feet of 5x to a san jaun. split shot above that and indicator way up high on the butt section of the leader. i drop a bwo nymph or black fly nymph or ptail off the san juan on 6x flouro. i look for fast shallow riffles, or noticeable runs and make quite a few good drifts through. i change my dropper to find what pleases the fish. if i can't fool them, i either go deeper (by adding more split shot, or adding a big heavy copper john to my nymph rig) or i go smaller and start fishing sz 20 nymphs and smaller midges or black fly larva. if that all doesnt work, i'll either scope out some flat water and look for risers to which i'll throw a cdc bwo dry with a bwo emerger of some sort or i'll throw wooly buggers or zonkers through the same riffles and runs i was fishing earlier.
i love the winter fishing. its when i catch my biggest fish most often. cold toes, nose, ears, fingers you can't feel. i love every bit of it. you see, the theory i've always heard about tailwater trout is that their metabolism stays about the same because of the near constant water temp coming from the bottom of the dams. the water doesnt fluctuate nearly as much as a freestone stream and therefore the trout are much more willing to take a fly in the winter on a tailwater than on a wild stream. i'd agree with that. the fishing doesnt slow down too bad. tactics may need to change some though. maybe go deeper and smaller. on the soho, black fly larva is a must, post spawn, these fish key in on it, and also a small biot bodied blue wing nymph is deadly. geez i can't wait to freeze to death while catching beautiful browns.
"I've got to stop wishin, I've got to go fishin"
Thanks for the great information MTD. I've fished the Caney a half dozen times, mostly on business trip stopovers between home and Nashville. Although I know we're talking frostbite fishing here, one of my greatest pleasures is to be rolling down sticky asphalt on I-40 in July with temperatures breaking 100 and then to drop down off exit 268 and within minutes experience a 30 to 40 degree temperature drop upon stepping into the Caney at the dam. If we could only bottle that, eh.
The Caney Fork has been kind to us this spring and summer. Hopefully fall and winter will give us a fish or two. What colors and sizes do you like on colder weather fly patterns?

Good TeaDay and welcome everyone. Let's Brew...and share what is in our cups today...all day on this very HOT summer day!
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic is a pretty simple one...either you did or you didn't. Have you tried "cold brewing" to make a refreshing smooth glass of iced tea? If so, please share your experiences with this method. If you have not tried this method, listen up...you might learn something. I know I learned something on this subject once I tried, after resisting this change for years.
Bonus question, which types of teas?
See you all on TeaDay!!! COLD brew on...

In short: A good run!In full: Yes start was down the side road so a bit cramped, but you just edge to the front if you want to be there! Not really a 'fun' run as only spectators are at the finish, because it's mostly residential you dont expect more! I pb'd by 3mins so very happy! Was labelled as slightly hilly, but one slight climb, and 2 more within residential roads made this a pretty straight forward run! Finish was a bit cramped once you got over the line!Date of review: March 19, 2007

Peugeot 118 Miles Per Gal, Leaning 3 Wheeled Fun Machine
Posted By G Monkie On May 21, 2010 @ 6:00 am In Alternative Vehicles,Biking Monkie Style | 7 Comments
Another Hybrid motorcycle type of vehicle, which just might appeal to the masses. This one comes from Peugeot. A fairly big automaker in Europe, has come up with the HYmotion3. This machine provides some protection from the weather with a glass canopy and also allows the drive to have some fun, with its ability to really lean in to the curves. The HYmotion3 is also extremely fuel efficient, recording 118 miles per gallon.
Here is the official press release:
Occupying a half-way house between the world of the scooter and the car, the HYmotion3 compressor is a highly original proposal designed to facilitate urban mobility. Attractive thanks to its dynamic, streamlined and futuristic style; it is an interesting concept combining numerous benefits (size, safety and comfort) with "HYmotion" hybrid/petrol technology. This new generation technology creates a three wheel drive vehicle, benefiting safety and driveability and combining economy with an environmentally-friendly specification (CO2 emissions of only 47 g/km in the combined cycle, zero in electric only mode).
The HYmotion3 compressor concept is a means of transport with no affiliation to a particular type of vehicle. With its three wheels and its streamlined body, it is something of a missing link between two worlds which to date are quite distinct: that of the scooter and that of the car. With an electric motor in each of its two front wheels, coupled at the rear with a petrol engine, it brings into play very innovative hybrid technologies allowing each of its wheels to provide motive power.
In a world of intensifying urban traffic where everyone is trying to save time, where oil prices are skyrocketing and the environment is more than ever a priority, design departments are vying in ingenuity to develop solutions for the future.
Giving full rein to their creativity and expertise, two separate Peugeot teams converged on a similar idea and finally worked in tandem to develop a particularly original project: the HYmotion3 compressor.
This "concept car", or rather "concept scooter", is based on the extensive experience of Peugeot Motorcycles, specialists in the scooter field, as well as the creativity and innovative capabilities of stylists and engineers working for Automobiles Peugeot.
To create this concept, Peugeot was able to draw on its extensive experience in the world of transportation enabling each individual, according to their age or their needs, to choose from among the Marque's cycles, motorcycles and cars.
This vehicle offers an ideal mix of the benefits of a scooter and particular characteristics of a car.
Its design is based on three wheels for maximum stability, safety and driveability. Its width of 82 cm enables it to thread a path through urban traffic with all the efficiency of a two-wheeler. The front windscreen extends to the rear of the vehicle to form a highly effective shield against bad weather for the rider and passenger.

Darwin, Charles
Charles Darwin 1809-1882
English scientist.
Generally regarded as the most prominent of the nineteenth-century evolutionary theorists, Charles Darwin is primarily known for his On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, the publication of which in 1859 ushered in a new era of naturalistic thinking that was to influence not only the field of biological science, but also the disciplines of art, literature, philosophy, and theology. In the work Darwin identified genetic mutation and natural selection as the mechanisms that controlled the development of species. His theory introduced the concept of ever-present competitive struggle in nature, thereby decentering the commonly held Romantic view of nature as a benign, even benevolent force, and pushed the role of God to the margins of human existence on earth. Although one of many contributors to the field of evolutionary biology, Darwin is commonly associated with the popular acceptance of evolutionary theory, and his Origin is believed to be the impetus for an intellectual revolution as philosophers, social scientists, and writers began to explore the far-reaching implications of his naturalistic theory, which posed a serious challenge to the orthodoxy of Victorian religion, science, and philosophy.
Biographical Information
Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in Shrewsbury, England. His grandfather was the noted physician, botanist, and poet, Erasmus Darwin, who had been a popularizer of evolutionary biology in the late eighteenth century. Darwin shared his grandfather's love of science and at an early age demonstrated an interest in plants, animals, and the natural world. His schooling in Shrewsbury followed by three years of medical study at Edinburgh University under his father's insistence, however, offered him little interest. Seeing that he was dissatisfied, his father sent him to Christ's College, Cambridge in 1828. While there, Darwin's aptitude for scientific exploration caught the attention of his professor and friend John Henslow. With Henslow's encouragement Darwin began to study geology and later undertook a voyage to South America as a naturalist aboard the H. M. S. Beagle (despite his father's objections) in 1831. The journey lasted five years, taking Darwin to the Andes, as well as to Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of the continent, and to the Galapagos archipelago. The trip culminated in Darwin's publication of the Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the Various Countries Visited by H. M. S. Beagle (1839). By this time, and largely in response to geological and biological evidence he had accumulated in South America, Darwin was formulating his theory of natural selection, although it was not to appear in print until 1859, with the publication of On the Origin of Species. The work stirred instant controversy and made Darwin one of the most recognizable figures in Victorian England. Over the years, in response to strident criticism, Darwin prepared five revised editions of the book, and meanwhile published several monographs on botany and zoology. In 1871, his Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, another work tied to his theory of evolutionary biology appeared. Descent likewise caused an uproar among critics, but Darwin, highly reserved for most of his life, responded in part by resuming his studies of plants and animals outside a purely evolutionary context. His last book published during his lifetime, The Formation of Vegetable Mould, through the Action of Worms, with Observations on Their Habits (1881), appeared in the year before his death at the age of seventy-three.
Major Works
Darwin wrote several books on a range of scientific topics, including botany, zoology, and geology. Among his earliest works, the Journal of Researches is as much a travelogue as a book on science, and captures his responses to the beauty of the Brazilian rainforest and cultural observations of the natives at Tierra del Fuego. This work differs from Darwin's purely scientific writings in that it evinces his more personal and intimate style, a feature also found in his two most well-known books, On the Origin of Species and The Descent of Man. In the Origin Darwin argued that environmental factors acting upon random genetic mutations produce changes in species by allowing those individuals better adapted for survival in a given environment to thrive and reproduce in greater numbers than other members of the same species. This process he termed "descent with modification," which, he maintained, produced large-scale changes in species only over vast periods of time. The revolutionary implications of the theory were further elucidated in Descent, wherein Darwin applied the principles of evolution specifically to human beings and thereby explicitly contradicted widely-held religious explanations of human origins by observing that they shared a common origin with apes and monkeys, and ultimately with even the simplest forms of life.
Critical Reception
By introducing the element of chance into his model of evolution, and thereby supplanting divine intervention as the primary force in the creation of life, Darwin had posed a direct challenge to the prevailing religious and moral constructs of his time and provoked a furious response from many quarters. In addition to objections to the essence of Darwin's theory and its implications for religion, many of his contemporaries in the scientific community found flaws in his argument based on the lack of evidence that Darwin was able to produce in order to substantiate his claims. Darwin engaged these oppositions by refining his theory over time, until it gradually gained scientific and popular acceptance. By the late twentieth century, Darwin's theory, with modifications derived from more than a century of scientific research, had become a cornerstone of modern biology and geology. No longer the object of the same heated controversy that they were in the nineteenth century, Darwin's writings have most recently been studied in terms of the author's rhetorical strategies and use of language (especially metaphor), and have been largely investigated for their enormous influence on the currents of intellectual history.

Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Color is unmatched for its purity, quality, and reliability - a success that is reflected in its worldwide reputation among professional artists. Sets also available.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
Winsor & Newton's Cremnitz White is a traditional single pigment white mixed from lead carbonate. The absence of zinc gives Cremnitz White a stringy consistency. It is slow drying, although not so slow as Titanium. Lead carbonate whites, which some artists prefer as a matter of principle, are strictly for adults and are recommended only for artists who understand safe handling of lead-based pigments.
Cremnitz White is mixed with safflower oil, which has less of a tendency to yellow than linseed oil, but also dries more slowly. Cremnitz White is recommended for white within the composition and for its final layers, but not for underpainting or priming. Because it is slower to dry, it may crack or distort overlying layers of paint. Foundation White is a better choice for underpainting if a lead-based white is desired.
Winsor & Newton rates Cremnitz White as opaque, with a lightfastness rating of 1 (highest) on a scale of 1 to 5, and permanence A.
basic lead(II)-carbonate
2PbCO3Pb(OH)2 or 4PbCO32Pb(OH)2PbO
Lead White is a fast drying, heavy consistency, flexible, opaque white with a very subtle reddish-yellow undertone and excellent covering capacity. Most artists stopped using this pigment over the last century because of its toxicity, but its working properties are positive enough to keep some artists using it. It is the most structurally sound white for underpainting. Lead White is quick drying, and it will help accelerate the drying time of any color it is mixed with.
Lead White has excellent permanence and lightfastness. However, it may become discolored over long periods of time.
Lead White is highly toxic by both inhalation and ingestion
Lead White has historically been the most important of all white pigments. The use of this pigment dates back to the days of the ancient Greeks and Egyptians. It was the only white used in European easel painting until the 19th century, and it is one of the oldest synthetically produced pigments. It has been mostly replaced by Titanium White and Zinc White, depending on the opacity the artist desires.

Ah I see. I guess it was a good thing to buy the other/last teapot (you can see it in the background). At first I was hesitant since it was covered in what seemed like 10 years of dust. It was pretty hard to scrub off the dust, did about 3-4 rounds of scrubbing.

Missy Franklin won her third title Saturday night as the AT&T Winter National Swimming Championships came to a close in Austin, Texas.
Franklin, who also had a silver and a bronze medal in the three-day meet, picked up her third gold by finishing the 200-yard backstroke in 1:19:18, just two-hundredths of a second off the American record set last year by Elizabeth Pelton.
Franklin, who also won the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke Friday, was the high-point award winner among women. Matt Grevers and Ryan Murphy shared the men's award.
Grevers won the 100 freestyle Saturday after setting an American record while winning the 100 backstroke in 51.10 on Friday. He also won the 50 freestyle on Thursday. Murphy won the 200 back on Saturday.
Katie Ledecky started Saturday's action by setting a meet record in the 1,650-yard backstroke in 15:28.36. The 15-year-old Olympic gold medalist was on pace to set the American record for more than half the race. She also won the 500 freestyle on Thursday.
Among the other highlights: Kevin Cordes set American records in the breaststroke on consecutive nights. He won the 100 in 51.10 Friday and the 200 in 1:50.73 Saturday.
Tom Shields set meet records in the butterfly twice. He won the 100 in 44.88 Friday and the 200 in 1:40.24 Saturday. Michael McBroom, who won the 500 freestyle on Thursday, added a victory in the 1,650.
Laura Sogar won the 100 breaststroke Friday and the 200 backstroke Saturday. Evan Pinion won the 200 men's backstroke on Saturday. Ricky Berens set a meet record while winning the men's 200 freestyle on Friday. Chase Kalisz (400 IM) also won men's races Friday.
Franklin talked to TeamUSA.org prior to the meet.
Alex Morgan scored 44 seconds into the game and Megan Rapinoe added a goal later in the half Saturday as the U.S. women's soccer team defeated Ireland, 2-0, to improve to 5-0-2 on its Fan Tribute Tour.
The match, in front of a crowd of 11,570 in 63,000-seat University of Phoenix Stadium, was the USA's seventh in a 10-game "Fan Tribute Tour" for the Olympic champions. The final three matches are against China, with the first on Dec. 8 at Ford Field in Detroit.
With the game barely underway, Morgan's shot from the left side found the net just inside the right post. It was her 28th goal of the year. With three matches to go, the prolific 23-year-old forward is on pace to become the third player in U.S. history with 30 goals in a calendar year. The others are Abby Wambach (31) in 2004 and Michelle Akers (39) in 1991. Morgan also earned her 19th assist of the year, fourth-most on the U.S. list.
Lindsey Vonn and Ted Ligety repeated past successes at North American sites with World Cup skiing victories Sunday.
Vonn set an Audi FIS Alpine World Cup record by winning for the seventh straight time at Lake Louise, Alberta. The three-time Olympian edged teammate Julia Mancuso for a 1-2 U.S. finish in the super-G Sunday after winning downhill races there Friday and Saturday with teammate Stacey Cook finishing second each time.
"Every athlete has their favorite hill where they feel confident and comfortable," Vonn said. "I know the hill like the back of my hand and have confidence knowing I have won here in the past."
Vonn continued her path back from an illness and hospitalization and moved into third in the World Cup standings despite missing two races. With the win, Vonn now has 56 total World Cup victories, which is second all-time.
Ligety made the most of the only U.S. stop on the men's Audi FIS Alpine World Cup tour with an impressive victory in Sunday's Birds of Prey giant slalom at Beaver Creek, Colo. Ligety was fourth in the super G Saturday.
Ligety had a .78-second lead after one run in the giant slalom and extended it to win by 1.76 seconds. He has won the first two giant slalom races of the World Cup season by a combined 4.51-second margin.
"It's great winning in front of the home crowd especially by that kind of margin," said Ligety, a two-time Olympian who is second in the World Cup overall standings. "It's so nice to have so many friends and family here and on this slope.
"This hill has always treated me well and it's fun to ski here."
Three of Ligety's 13 career World Cup wins have come at Beaver Creek.
Elsewhere, Kikkan Randall finished second in Saturday's 5K freestyle World Cup cross country race in Kuusamo, Finland, for her best career finish. Randall was fifth Sunday in the Ruka Triple 10K classic pursuit.
Bryan Fletcher finished 14th in the Nordic Combined World Cup event in Kuusamo.
Elizabeth Price won the all-around title on Saturday while Danell Leyva finished fifth in the all-around Sunday at the World Cup event in Stuttgart, Germany.
Price, an alternate for the London 2012 Olympic Games, produced a score of 58.098 to win by 2.532. Leyva, the 2012 Olympic all-around bronze medalist, finished first in the horizontal bar.
Elsewhere, the United States earned four medals in the Pan American Trampoline and Tumbling Championships in Santiago de Queretaro, Mexico.
Kalon Ludvigson and Marina Moskalenko won men's and women's tumbling gold medals. Kristie Lowell earned silver in the women's double mini-trampoline. Austin Nacey added a men's tumbling bronze in his first international event as a senior.
The United States claimed gold in the women's tournament and silver in the men's as the NORCECA Circuit came to a close Sunday in Oranjestad, Aruba.
The second-place finish allowed the United States to capture the men's points championship. The U.S. women had already clinched the points title.
Tealle Hunkus and Summer Ross defeated Mexico's Bibi Candelas and Martha Revuelta, 21-19, 21-17, in the women's final.
Avery Drost and Will Montgomery fell to Mexico's Juan Virgen and Lombardo Ontiveros 21-15, 21-12 in the men's championship match.
It was the second straight win for Ross, who won with Emily Day at Trinidad & Tobago.
"I thank God for this victory," said Ross, who made her first visit to Aruba. "I love this place and their beautiful people."
BOBSLED/SKELETON: Noelle Pikus-Pace earned gold and silver medals in the women's skeleton during the first stop of the Intercontinental Tour in Whistler, British Columbia. Pikus-Pace placed second in the first pair of races. The 2010 Olympian and former world champion won the gold medal by rallying with a strong second run on the second day. Annie O'Shea finished 15th and 14th in her first international competition following summer knee surgery. Matt Antoine, who also is working his way back from knee surgery, led the U.S. men with a fifth-place finish in the first race.
LUGE: Two-time Olympian Erin Hamlin placed 11th in women's singles and the men's doubles team of Matt Mortensen and 2006 Olympian Preston Griffall matched that finish at this weekend's World Cup event in Koenigssee, Germany. Emily Sweeney was 12th in women's singles while Olympian Chris Mazdzer finished 15th in men's singles. Sweeney qualified for the weekend by finishing fourth in Friday's Nations Cup race.
SPEEDSKATING: J.R. Celski earned a silver medal in the men's 1,000-meter A final Saturday at the Samsung ISU World Cup in Nagano, Japan. Jessica Smith won the women's 1,500 B final Saturday. On Sunday, Travis Jayner finished third in the men's 500 A final while Alyson Dudek, Smith, Sarah Chen and Emily Scott took second in the women's B relay.
ICE HOCKEY: Rico Roman assisted on two third-period goals and was named U.S. Player of the Game after Sunday's 3-1 win over Norway in the first game of the World Sledge Hockey Challenge in Calgary. The United States allowed just six shots, none in the second period.
CYCLING: Katie Compton rallied on the last lap to win a UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup event for the third time this season with a victory in Roubaix, France Sunday. Amy Dombroski finished 11th. Jeremy Powers led the U.S. men, finishing 22nd.
BIATHLON: Two-time Olympian Tim Burke finished 18th Saturday in the 10K Sprint at the IBU World Cup.
RUGBY: The U.S. women placed ninth-place overall in the 16-team event at the first IRB Women's Sevens World Series tournament in Dubai.
