Ski in/out from this luxury 4 bedroom home in Teton Village. Located on a secluded acre adjacent to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is the completely remodeled and beautifully furnished Wildflower House. The house is set up for families and comfortably sleeps 8. This home is only rented a few weeks a year while we are at our other home in CA. We prefer to rent to families.
There are 2 masters with Tempurpedic King beds upstairs, 2 bedrooms with Queens and a queen sleeper sofa downstairs in the Media/Play room. This is one of the nicest rentals you will find in the area. It's the perfect home and location for your family vacation. We have a sauna, hot tub, and a generous yard in a very private setting with tremendous views. The Village is the place to be in the summer and winter with great restaurants and endless activities. I'm happy to help you plan an amazing vacation. This as close as you can get to the national parks, rivers, lakes, biking, hiking and of course...the best skiing in the USA.
A trail from the backyard connects you to the recently completed Wildflower Trail where you can hike all the way up the mountain and take the tram home. That is also our ski trail which brings you right to our door from the resort. Skiing out from the house is very easy but requires a short walk. This house is not a high turnover rental. For most of the year it's our principle residence and we keep it perfectly maintained.
Send a request or call me to discuss your vacation at (307) 699-7709.
Teton Village is the place to be and it just gets better every year. 5 years ago we said goodbye to CA and made this our permanent residence. Our kids, currently 7 and 11 years old love living in WY. We recently decided to rent the house and spend the money on travel.
Mortimer Kline purchased this chalet in 2006
Since it's our primary residence EVERYTHING is top notch. Many of the rentals in Teton Village have been hammered by renters and not updated in years. The house is beautiful and you will feel right at home.
We prefer to rent to families. The downstairs is set up for kids with it's own media room, foosball, karaoke, Wii and games. The house works great for 2 families with 2 master suites upstairs. We have an 8 person maximum.
Dealing directly with the owner and not going through a management company gets you better pricing and better info on the specifics of the house. I'm happy to set the house up any way you like and help plan your vacation.
My family had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful home for a month this summer. The house was perfect for our crew (3 small children) given the ample bedrooms, playroom, and awesome outdoor spaces. The location was fantastic with a 5 min walk to the middle of Teton Village and backyard access to the great hiking / running trails on the mountain resort...not to mention GTNP is less than 10 mins away. The quality of the home was outstanding and the owner was a pleasure to deal with. There is no question that I would highly recommend this property. We can't wait to go back!
Wonderful house for a week in the Jackson area. We shared the home with another family-- perfect arrangement with 2 master suites and a lower level with kids rooms and lots of play space. I was impressed by the quality and tastefulness of the property. Linens, bathrooms, beds-- everything was very comfortable and nice. We really enjoyed the proximity to Teton Village, Jackson, and the parks. This home was a great landing spot for us at the end of a busy day. The hot tub under the stars was a treat, as was the tree house out back. Loved the ability to jump on the Wildflower trail from the backyard-- and we loved walking to activities and restaurants in the village. Best vacation. Highly recommend. Thanks to the owners for providing some great local tips.
perfect home base for our family vacation, 8 adults and a baby. Great communal space, beautiful deck with gorgeous views, great kitchen for cooks, and all kinds of play toys like sauna, hot tub, foosball table, swing set, large screen TV, fireplace, you name it. Everything beautifully appointed, gorgeous linens, you couldn't ask for more. Owner was very responsive with a few minor issues. Would recommend this rental without reservation
Our family of six adults and two children enjoyed this beautiful house. It's clean, convenient, comfortable, and very well-appointed - especially the kitchen. The deck, with its great view of the Gros Vent Mountains, is perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking or white water rafting. You can walk to the tram which takes you up the the mountain. And if you're lucky, you'll see a moose or mule deer taking a siesta in the back yard. The house is minutes from the entrance to the Grand Teton National Park and about fifteen minutes from downtown Jackson. All in all, this was one of our best family vacations, and we'd recommend the Wildflower House without reservation.
This home is beautiful with amazing views. Our daughter had a great time on the tire swing, in the tree house and on the small zip line. The basement is full of fun things and games for the kids and the entire family. The views throughout the house are amazing, but sitting on the front deck was our favorite. The home is like new and well kept. The owner was wonderful to work with. This was an amazing vacation and the perfect home for our family!
The home was just as advertised! Beautiful home that fits perfectly in the surroundings of a Modern Mountain home. We were very comfortable with four adults and four college age children. The large dining area and deck were perfect for gathering as well as the lower level for the kids to hang out in (yet we actually did little sitting inside as the area is breath-taking). So many things to do! A couple of our highlights included fly fishing the snake river through the Guide service at Teton Village, Horseback riding with A-OK Corral outside of Jackson was excellent! Spent 4 hours on the down hill mountain biking course at the mountain ( my son loved it at 18, about killed me at 50, but I would absolutely do it again!). The views from the top of the Tram and Gondola towers are excellent. Great way to spend a late afternoon up at "The Deck". Take a jacket as it gets cool even in Late June up top. We spent a wonderful evening floating the snake river after a dinner on the river bank with Triangle X floats. This was an easy adventure for all in the party. Lots of wild life (bald eagles, beaver, moose). Be sure to see what is happening in the town of Jackson, we caught the Rodeo, a summer concert series in the park and a local farmers market all held downtown. Great low cost family entertainment. The back road to Moose provided us with multiple Moose, Bear and Elk sightings. The hiking opportunities are endless. You must visit Phelps Lake beginning with the short (1.5 mile) hike from the Lawrence Rockefeller Preserve. several other short trips that we enjoyed, The drive to (and hiking around) Slide Lake, canoeing around Jenny Lake, hiking trails around The house are also excellent. We saw 10 different Bears (both Grizzly and Black bears as wells as their Cubs), Elk, Bison, Mountain Goats, Big Horn Sheep, Eagles, Osprey and others. If you like biking, the bike paths along the roads in the state Park and Forest are the best you will experiance. Finally, the scenery at Grand Tetons is like nothing I have ever seen.
The home owner was also very nice to work with and provided us with a good deal of information on the area as well. This was one of the best vacations we have taken as a family as there was so much to do that appealed to all of us!

Pope at Athens
We, Pope John Paul II, Bishop of Rome, and Christodoulos, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece, standing before the bema of the Areopagus, from which Saint
Paul, the Great Apostle to the Nations, "called to be an Apostle, set apart for the Gospel of God", [1] Ýpreached to the Athenians the One True God, Father, Son and Holy
Spirit, and called them unto faith and repentance, do hereby declare:
1. We give thanks to the Lord for our meeting and communication with one another, here in the illustrious City of Athens, the Primatial See of the Apostolic Orthodox Church of Greece.
2. We repeat with one voice and one heart the words of the Apostle to the Nations: "I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no schisms among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment".[2] We pray that the whole Christian world will heed this exhortation, so that peace may come unto "all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ".[3]Ý We condemn all recourse to violence, proselytism and fanaticism in the name of religion. We especially maintain that relations between Christians, in all their manifestations, should be characterized by honesty, prudence and knowledge of the matters in question.
3. We observe that man's social and scientific evolution has not been accompanied by a deeper delving into the meaning and value of life, which in every instance is a gift of God, nor by an analogous appreciation of man's unique dignity, as being created according to the Creator's image and likeness. Moreover, economic and technological development does not belong equally to all mankind but belongs only to a very small portion of it. Furthermore, the improvement of living standards has not brought about the opening of men's hearts to their neighbours who suffer hunger and are naked. We are called to work together for the prevailing of justice, for the relief of the needy and for the ministry unto those who suffer, ever keeping in mind the words of St. Paul: "the kingdom of God does not mean food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit".[4 ]
4. We are anguished to see that wars, massacres, torture and martyrdom constitute a terrible daily reality for millions of our brothers. We commit ourselves to struggle for the prevailing of peace throughout the whole world, for the respect of life and human dignity, and for solidarity towards all who are in need. We are pleased to add our voice to the many voices around the world which have expressed the hope that, on the occasion of the Olympic Games to be held in Greece in 2004, the ancient Greek tradition of the Olympic Truce will be revived, according to which all wars had to stop, and terrorism and violence had to cease.
5. We follow carefully and with unease what is referred to as globalization. We hope that it will bear good fruit. However, we wish to point out that its fruits will be harmful if what could be termed the "globalization of brotherhood" in Christ is not achieved in all sincerity and efficacy.
6. We rejoice at the success and progress of the European Union. The union of the European world in one civil entity, without her people losing their national self?awareness, traditions and identity, has been the visionÝ of its pioneers. However, the emerging tendency to transform certain European countries into secular states without any reference to religion constitutes a retraction and a denial of their spiritual legacy. We are called to intensify our efforts so that the unification of Europe may be accomplished. We shall do everything in our power, so that the Christian roots of Europe and its Christian soul may be preserved inviolate.
With this Common Statement, we, Pope John Paul II, Bishop of Rome, and Christodoulos, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece, wish that "our God and Father and our Lord Jesus direct our way, so that we may increase and abound in love towards one another and towards all men and establish the hearts of all unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of the Lord Jesus with all his saints".[5] Amen.

Review by SonRuck
"A relic from the abyss..."
Back in the early Eighties, vector graphics were all the rage in the arcade. Battlezone was probably the first game to really popularize the semi-3D green tinted look, and shortly after Atari's popular Star Wars space shooter and many other games followed in its footsteps. The Vectrex was an attempt to create a console which could successfully emulate this new breed of game in a way the current consoles by Atari and Intellivison couldn't. It was developed by the now defunct company GCE (General Consumer Electric) and later the rights to the system were bought by Milton Bradley. The system originally saw some success, but in the end it was unable to gain enough of a following to survive the great "Crash" of 1984. However, to this day homebrew developers are still cooking up new projects on the Vectrex, and its one of the most sought after "classic" system in collector's circles right now. Is all that because it's really a good piece of hardware, or are these collectors driven by foolish nostalgia? Read on for my take...
Graphics: 5/10
I'm basing this score mainly on judging the Vectrex against the graphical capabilities of other consoles available at the time, not today's juggernauts like the PS3. The only color provided for your Vectrex games comes from overlays you plop over the system's built-in screen. So, regardless of what you're playing, the game is made up of black and white lines. In comparison to the Atari 5200 and Intellivision, which were by no means graphical powerhouses, the graphics just don't look very good. Compare the football game "Blitz" where the graphics are just x's and o's to Intellivison football. It looks like crap! There were 3D goggles released for the system that were supposed to make the graphics in select games look uber-realistic by 1982 standards, and I've never gotten the chance to use them, so I'll give the Vectrex the benefit of the doubt and not drop it's graphics below a 5. Honestly, it does probably have the best version of Berzerk I've played outside the arcade. That's the most good I can say about the Vectrex's graphical capabilities.
Sound: 8/10
My console's built-in speakers still seem to work great after it sat in the garage for a few years, in fact sound is the one area where the Vectrex seems to really outshine its peers. Everything sounds much louder and crisper than the effects from an Atari game. The system does produce a buzz from the cathode ray in its built-in monitor that can get annoying, but none of the games on this system really encourage long playthroughs. They're more of the "twitch" variety, aside from maybe Dark Tower.
Games: 4/10
This is where the Vectrex really suffers. It had little to no third-party support, The people who were making games for it made crap, and its competition was too stiff, especially after Colecovision was released. None of the games present any sort of lasting challenge for any reason other than crappy programming. There are many better avenues to go down if you want to start a classic game collection, and like I said before, due to crappy third party-support none of your retro favorites like Q*Bert, Centipede or whatever were developed for this console. The fact that it comes with a built-in game (Mine Storm, an Asteroid-clone) was pretty revolutionary back in its day, but it can provide some problems. If you insert another cartridge into your system at an angle that's slightly off (You don't have to be clumsy to do this, the Vectrex is built pretty crappily and stuff is just...off) Mine Storm will just boot up instead. It gets annoying, and it makes it hard to tell if your console is just falling apart or the cartridge your trying to play just has ceased to work. New homebrew games that are usually better developed than the older titles have started to come out, and if you're into collecting for this system you should try to locate them.
Controller: 3/10
Just a stupid move by GCE. The Vectrex's controller utilizes a nifty analog joystick, but it seems to be set up in so you're supposed to play with your controller sitting on a tabletop. Perhaps they thought this would simulate an arcade feel. It has 4-buttons, which stick pretty easily now on my controller. In fact, the one working controller I have is pretty beat-up. Maybe this section would have a higher rating if that wasn't a case. The controller isn't a crapfest of Jaguar proportions, but it is pretty bad.
At the end of the day, the Vectrex is simply a mediocre product. Some gamers nostalgia has probably led them to believe it was better than it actually is. If you go back and play some Mine Storm or Star Trek, you'll see that it was really just a sub-par console that deserved to fail. Good idea, crappy execution, my friends.

I was wondering if:
- First, it is physically possible to obtain each and every amex card? (zync through centurion and all forms of blue and airline affiliates). How many cards can you have?
- Secondly, how much would this cost per year?
Give me your thoughts and perhaps any figures you can come up with on how much it would cost.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Nobody seemed rattled.
If nothing else, that was probably a positive for the Penguins as of late Wednesday night. They had blown a 3-0 lead, surrendered a goal with 24 seconds remaining, and lost in overtime for a second time in the series – but, from the dressing room, there was a sense of relative calm.
They have, most of these players ad coaches, been here before.
It was a year ago, actually.
The Penguins appeared in firm control of a first-round playoff series against the New York Islanders when, as the Columbus Blue Jackets have now, Game 4 slipped away to turn a best-of-seven into a best-of-three.
Then, as will be the case Saturday night, Game 5 was at Consol Energy Center, the fan base – at least based off the imperfect measure of social media – was mostly nervous. (A difference is that – again, based on social media – the fan base seems angry now; not necessarily for the right reasons, but…)
The Penguins' performance in Game 5 against the Islanders last season was not perfect, but it was probably their closest to perfection of that postseason. They stayed composed, received a boost from a new addition to the lineup in the form of winger Tyler Kennedy's goal and blanked the Islanders.
Something happened to the inexperienced Islanders once Round 1 became a best-of-three last postseason. The narrative went from "maybe they can pull an upset" to "they can actually do it."
The Islanders didn't handle that change well, either.
The Penguins ultimately exposed the Islanders' lack of experience – and shaky goaltending – to advance last postseason. They did so by a slim margin and without looking dominant, but they did do that.
The Blue Jackets still lack experience, though not confidence. However, their goaltending might not be all that less shaky than the Islanders was a year ago. Sergei Bobrovsky has needed to make only 14 third-period saves in two Columbus' victories. When tested, he has mostly been C-grade level.
If experience matters in the playoffs, that should prove the case in favor of the Penguins over the next three games.
Of course, maybe at this point this series is not about experience?
>> The Game 4 loss is not on Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin. Coach Dan Bylsma made that clear, and he was spot on. Still, now the series is about Crosby and Malkin. The two best players in the world should be expected to make a big impact with probably nothing less than the future of their coaches and some teammates on the line. THE GAMER: http://triblive.com/sports/penguins/pensgalleries/5983091-74/game-penguins-goal#axzz2zlpPLkMm
>> As a counter to the Crosby/Malkin narrative, Josh Yohe offered this observation:
The Penguins are averaging 3.50 goals in this series, more than their 2.95 from the regular season. Of course, they are also allowing an average of 3.50 in this series, more than their 2.49 from the regular season – and 0.74 more goals-for than Columbus had averaged in the regular season (2.76).
Goal prevention is the game this time of season. It's just not one the Penguins are playing.
Also, Yohe reported on Game 4's TURNING POINT: http://triblive.com/sports/penguins/5983319-74/penguins-period-penalty#axzz2zlpPLkMm
>> Contributor Justin Boggs, who proved himself a deadline-writing wizard, was there to hear Nick Foligno insist he called his shot before OT. The story from BEHIND ENEMY LINES: http://triblive.com/sports/penguins/5983292-74/foligno-jackets-overtime#axzz2zlpPLkMm
>> Marcel Goc may call it a comeback. He could help in that goal prevention problem. NOTES n'AT: http://triblive.com/sports/penguins/5983292-74/foligno-jackets-overtime#axzz2zlpPLkMm
>> Unlike the Twiturkeys, columnist Dejan Kovacevic took a deep breath after Game 4 and opined that maybe Marc-Andre Fleury had earned a mulligan based on how all bout a couple of incidents have game. Fleury is probably the reason the series is tied instead of 3-1 in favor of the Blue Jackets. Uh, yeah, you read that right. It's true. The Game 4 COMMENTARY: http://triblive.com/sports/dejankovacevic/dejancolumns/5983293-74/fleury-penguins-game#axzz2zlpPLkMm
The Penguins, as planned, sacked practice for Thursday. They're being beat up in this series, but clearly the coaching staff is crazy for taking a big-picture approach. Chris Adamski and Jason Mackey will have your updates from Bylsma's media availability at Consol Energy Center.
Tickets remain available for Game 5.
Tea is brewing folks. Believe that.
Be EXCELLENT to each other,

Book Review: Bombing Hitler: The Story of the Man Who Almost Assassinated the Führer by Hellmut G. Haasis, Translated by William Odom
Published 4:23 pm, Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Bombing Hitler: The Story of the Man Who Almost Assassinated the Führer by Hellmut G. Haasis, (translated by William Odom) is the true story of Georg Elser and his failed attempt on Hitler's life.
In the book author Hellmut G. Haasis tells of Georg Elser's decision to assassinate Hitler in a Munich beer hall. Elser's said that he simply wanted to "prevent even greater bloodshed through my act." Elser, a blue collar worker, worked and planned for months in order to plant a bomb in a pillar which supports the roof of the beer hall. The bomb worked, killing eight people, but missing its intended target who had to leave early for Berlin (cutting his speech from two hours to a mere hour).
Bombing Hitler is a well researched book, using interviews from first hand sources as well as historical documentation. The author is not afraid to also provide some commentary as well as objective analysis which is a pleasure to read. Haasis takes the reader on a journey through a frightening police state, Elser's brutal interrogations (with Himmler's personal involvement), until he is executed in Dachau.
One of the book's main goals is to resurrect Elser's reputation. In the years after the war, Elser has been accused to being an SS agent; however through research and documentation, Haasis shows that he was anything but. In fact Elser put in danger all those he came in contact with and the whole town he grew up in.
Mr. Haasis does an excellent job recreating the steps Elser took in his attempt to assassinate the oppressor, his escape attempt, and time at the hands of the brutal SS. Bombing Hitler is an inspiring story about a man who stood up for what he believes in, disregarding the odds and almost ending single-handedly the biggest war the world has ever seen.

Why so many spinner colors?
I'm new to fly fishing and received a number of flies as gifts as well as bought quite a bit myself to start out. I have several different colors of spinner (mainly rusty, mahogany, cream/sulfur, and olive) and have begun to realize that just about every spinner I see on the water is rusty or cream in color. Granted I've only fished in the East so far...
I did some research and found that the vast majority of spinners are these two colors or can be imitated by them. So why have so many other colors? Is it just to sell more flies (the saying that most fishing lures are made for fisherman comes to mind) or are there actually some spinners that exist in olive, red, or varying colors?
Re: Why so many spinner colors?
This isn't exactly an answer to your question but the light in the morning and evenings at sunrise and sunset is redder than when the sun is overhead.
Gary Borger refers to a discussion he had with John Goddard of The Trout and The Fly, A New Approach, which has an extensive discussion on trout vision, pp 59 - 105. John had wondered why the Sherry Spinner which has a reddish orange tint would catch more fish than flies of the natural color. The puzzle was solved when John went under water and looked at the naturals which had a reddish glow due to the reddish light at sunset. The flat spinner wings on the water had an orange glow.
The red/orange light at sunset and dusk causes the naturals at this time of day to take on an orange reddish tint. Flies of this color fished at or near dusk will catch more fish than flies that are identical the color of the naturals. An orange spinner fished at sunset will "match the hatch" no matter what the color of the natural.
Matching the hatch is a concept based on selective feeding. Selectivity is a survival mechanism that trout have developed to gain the most food with the least effort because they feed efficiently and do not waste energy trying items that are "not food". They simply cannot help themselves.
To feed selectively, the trout have search criteria. You are familiar with size, shape, color and behavior in matching the hatch. These search criteria are called "triggers" that trigger the fish to feed.
Normally color is a minor search criteria, but when feeding on spinners with translucent wings, the sherry color of sunset causes the flat spinner wings to glow that distinct color.
The concept of accentuating a key feature of the natural that attracts the the fish's attention to the artificial vs the natural is called a "super trigger". The sherry spinner wings are a super trigger. It causes the artificial to stand out amongst the naturals and the fish seem to preferentially choose the artificial from amongst the naturals.
Re: Why so many spinner colors?
In my opinion, you already answered your question, to sell more flies. I tie four colors, rusty, cream, black (for tricos) and grey. Rust and black have done the best for me as most spinner falls occur at dusk or dark the dark silhouette is easier for the trout to see and rust covers just about everyother situation.
Re: Why so many spinner colors?
The basic underlying reason, I believe is selectivity.
When fishing during selective feeding, one may catch some fish with a spinner that does not match the color. One may then think that matching the color is not necessary. But all one has really proved is that some fish are not selective to color.
Fish behavior is population based. They do not all behave identically and for each behavior we can graph the fishes behavior and the population distribution will lie under a bell curve. For selective behavior, as the population become more and more selective, the curve will shift to the right and the mean behavior will become more selective. As the behavior becomes more clustered, the distribution of the curve tightens and the slope of the curve becomes steeper and the peak taller.
The diagrams below are used to illustrate what I think happens during the development of selectivity. They are not meant to state that all populations can be fit into the symmetrical perfect bell curves below.
The Venn diagram below demonstrates what happens to a population of fish during hatch as the population moves form nonselective feeding to selective feeding.
The same concept can be shown as a bell curve population distribution with the horizontal X axis representing increasing selectivity as one moves to the right. So the pink bell curve population is more selective than the blue bell curve population.
If the hatch lasts long enough and is heavy enough, the population distribution can cluster and selectivity criteria can become extremely strict. Again this is represented below by a move from blue to pink.
In the graph below during a heavy hatch the fish may show the wide blue distribution of day 1, then day 5 they demonstrate more consistent search criteria and on day 10, their criteria become much more strict.
There are places where fish, especially the largest fish are extremely selective. They will be selective to color.
So you may not need to carry those colors but this does not mean that a need for those colors does not exist.
Re: Why so many spinner colors?
Awesome. This is excellent information: just what I was hoping for! All of this is new to me and I'm slowly starting to sort everything out. Thanks so much for the help guys!
I've definitely noticed that, especially at evening, the rusty spinner seems to be very effective during late and early hatches where I've been fishing. I assumed it had something to do with the lighting, but I was never quite sure, especially seeing such odd color variations of the same fly. This really makes sense now. I can finally start weeding out my flybox of those extra colors that don't produce for me (I sort of already started) and key in on effective dressings.
Some part of me still feels that some of the colors being tied are virtually useless, with exception to few very specific situations where they may apply. Again, thanks for the info!
Re: Why so many spinner colors?
Another fact that confuses newbies is that they assume human vision and trout vision are the same and that the color they see is the same as the color that the trout sees. The lens shape of a trout and a human differ and the color vision have some differences.
For example trout have 4 cones for color vision and humans have three. Trout have an extra cone which reacts to light in the UV range. This cone disappears as the fish ages but is thought to reappear at spawning to help guide the fish to spawning location. The two color receptors of blue and green have the same coverage in humans and fish. But the red receptors in fish can see longer wavelengths of red than humans. So trout can a red that we cannot see.
These differences between trout and humans means that sometimes colors that seem incongruous to us attract trout because the material on the fly reflects a light spectrum that we cannot see that matches the natural. For example a shade of purple such as the purple haze fly may work because it reflects light in the UV spectrum that matches the natural. The color of the natural that to us may not look purple at all but it can reflect that same UV spectrum that is a trigger. I'm not saying that UV is the key of the purple haze but it is one possible explanation.
Remember that when we speak of color it is different that size, shape, and behavior. We can be certain that when we match the size and shape with a fly, we are matching the natural; but that is not true for color because trout see color differently that us.
Fortunately for us, nature varies color in trout foods. So we do not need to be spot on in the color choices we can see. But when we cannot see a color at all such as UV or infrared to come close to a match, it places us at a disadvantage. It may also lead to erroneous conclusions such as purple fly does not match the natural catching fish. We don't know for sure that an off color does not match a natural in a spectrum that is invisible to us and may be a trigger for the fish.
Re: Why so many spinner colors?
I don't much bother worrying about the body color on a spinner. I always carry a small box of rusty spinners in all normal sizes and use them to match the size of bugs coming down. My theory is that the trout merely see a black or dark silhouette of the fly because of the contrast between the light sky and the fly.
I can tell you these rusty spinners work for me during almost every hatch as long as I nail down the size of the bugs coming off. Even during sulfur spinner falls the rusty spinner never failed me.
Now if I'm fishing subsurface or in the film I get a bit more particular about the fly color as I feel the trout have a far better perspective from which to see the color.
Re: Why so many spinner colors?
I agree with Jackster that if you are going to have a single body color, rusty brown is the most important. I will also agree that if the spinner fall is during dusk or at night, the fish see a silhouette, and body color is not all that important.
However, I will disagree that in some situations that I fish, trout are not selective to body color.
Here is an example from this summer in Montana on the Madison River. I was fishing the Colonel's Pool with Gary Borger. The Colonel's Pool always contains fish and they are feeding on a smorgasbord of insects - both caddis and mayflies in various stages.
Here is the what the Colonel's pool looks like from downstream. The current flow enters the pool along its left edge and creates both upwelling current and a counterclockwise eddy.
Here's Gary fishing it from the upstream position to fish feeding on caddis emergers. The main downstream current is to Gary's right but there is also and eddy current that rotates upstream to his left.
I was close to Gary's position and fishing to the eddy current on his left side. There were fish feeding on Epeorus (pink lady) spinners. The Epeorus spinners are not rust or sulphur in color. They are a tannish pink. This was during the day and the fish can see the color of the spinner just like they can see the color of an adult PMD during the day. I would not fish a rust colored pattern during a PMD hatch and the rusty spinner does not work well when fish are feeding on pink lady spinners during the day. This is especially true when they have forever to examine the fly as in this situation.
Here's the Epeorus spinner pattern from BRF. If you look at the color of the dubbing at about 2:30 in the video, it matches the color of the spinner in the photo below the video.
Here's a photo of a pink lady spinner from troutnut
I think spinner color is one of those common instances in fly fishing that is situationally dependent. The answer will vary with the person answering the question. The correct answer for you depends on what situation you find yourself in.
Re: Why so many spinner colors?
Actually, the UV wavelengths might have a great effect on the feeding habits of trout at dawn and dusk. During these periods the percentage of available light shifts more to the ultraviolet wavelengths. So, since the ultraviolet markings on the mayflies differ by species and gender, the trout can select on those UV characteristics that are, alas, invisible to most of us.
We can meet this challenge by using body materials with some UV reflectivity, or , in the case of dubbed bodies, choose a UV reflective thread. The wings should, IMO, always have substantial UV reflective components. The mayflies themselves rely on these UV markers in order to see their potential mates in the dim light. With only one night of love, they want to be able to identify the partner of the proper sex and species (don't we all?).
Re: Why so many spinner colors?
I've applied these same principles to my saltwater fishing and matching your fly color to the color of the sky brings noticeable results not only at dusk but at all times of the day and night.

Did you guys ever watch the Karate Kid. When they were playing soccer, The Surf was pretty damned nice that day. I Like Soccer, But I would have been surfn those waves instead of kicking a leather ball around. I'm sure that my surfing would have impressed Ali alot more the bouncing a ball on my knee. Secondly, If Johnny showed up with his gang. I would have shot him before his Karate moves. " Strike first, Strike hard !!!" Nothing strikes first and hard like a bullet.

Global Surfers- tOM (alibaba) thinks he's a crip; I don't know if he would know a cap from a 'gun'. A gun is used for big heaving lips (Mav's, Waimea, Warren Pt.) and getting done the face early; it's meant for you to evolve, not usher subtle threats. Thanx for deleting Tums and hope for more positive format.

I am Australian and married a girl from TO. We live in OZ and travel back to TO sometimes for holidays. I am blown away that you guys surf in Lake Ontario. This gives me hope that when I come over there next summer, maybe I could catch some waves. When is the best time to catch some of those wind swells?

In fact, if anybody from the Toronto area is travelling to OZ and wants to go surfing on the Northern Beaches in Sydney, give us a yell? I live in Dee Why and love to share the stoke with people from my girls hometown.

Oh, no! Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water (forum)? New aka's for tom: Collie dog, booty, somethin 21, what the hell? Now, I know Globalsurfers is doomed, but, anyway; nobody's going bto crowd the 'great lkes' because of heavy metals comtamination, but even more nefarious, is a move by southern Californian and 'Lake' Republicans to divert already shrinking water sources to the desert southwest; tragically, like ecowarrior Ed Abbey noted, this area is the 'National Sacrifice Area' and that means water taken to supply development keeping this immoral country from sinking deeply! Vote green or lose it all!

After Jeffrey and Margit Merkey's two-year-old son Alexej consumed spinach tainted with E. Coli bacteria, he became so ill that he needed emergency surgery.
On Oct. 2 the family filed suit against San Juan Bautista, Calif.-based Natural Selection Foods, the company responsible for packaging the tainted spinach that led to a nationwide recall of the product. The couple also filed suit against Delta Air Lines for allegedly serving spinach to passengers during the recall.
According to the filing, Delta employees served an in-flight meal, which included partially cooked spinach to their son. The suit claims that approximately 30 hours after returning home to Utah, he began to show symptoms.
"Words alone cannot describe the physical suffering on Alexej, a 23-month-old child, as a result of contracting this deadly disease from consumption of defendants' defective and deadly food products," the couple's complaint stated.
In addition, the suit accuses Natural Selection of "vile and outrageous conduct" intended to inflict emotional distress on the plaintiffs. According to the complaint, the company's use of the term "natural selection" in press releases related to the E. Coli outbreak contained Darwinian undertones, suggesting their son's illness was part of the natural selection theory.
The couple is demanding a jury trial and seeks damages relating to emotional distress and medical bills.

A dispute between the Central Electricity Generating Company (CEGCO) and its employees was resolved on Sunday after a two-hour meeting at the labour ministry.
CEGCO [2] employees had been on strike since April 3 to demand several benefits [3], including salary and cost of living raises, hazard pay and improved health insurance coverage. In Sunday's meeting, Minister of Labour Maher Wakid, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Qutaiba Abu Qura and representatives of CEGCO and the Electricity Workers Union (EWU) managed to agree a solution that satisfied both the company and the employees, said Ali Hadid, the president of the EWU.
According to Hadid, employees with salaries under JD800 will be granted a JD30 basic salary raise and a JD50 cost of living allowance, while employees paid over JD800 will receive a JD15 raise and JD25 for cost of living. In addition, the company's health insurance plan will now cover the same level of accommodation in hospitals for all employees.
The EWU president said all employees resumed work on Monday. Meanwhile, Jordanian Electric Power Company (JEPCO [4]) workers are continuing a strike they began on April 8 [5], amid efforts to resolve their dispute with the company's management, said Ahmad Meri, president of the employees' independent union.
He said that representatives of the company had met with several deputies at Parliament on Sunday to discuss the workers' demands, which include four months bonus salary each year, end-of-service allowances, better health insurance and transportation services for all workers. "Since the beginning of our strike [6], this is the first meeting that has been held to discuss the issue," he told The Jordan Times over the phone Monday.
Meri alleged that MP Mohammad Maraayeh (Southern Badia), JEPCO Director General Marwan Bushnaq and legal counsel Ziad Khasawneh, who represented the company, hurled plastic water containers at each other during the meeting. This claim, reported on several local news websites, could not be verified.
Neither Maraayeh nor Bushnaq was available for comment, despite several attempts by The Jordan Times to contact them. Meri said that another meeting would be held at Parliament on Tuesday at 12:30pm to resolve the issue.

Dooley says he's responsible for serving citizens, not waste haulers
'You and your brother had an opportunity to compete ... and you lost,' Dooley says
Staff Reporter
"I owe you (waste haulers) absolutely nothing. I represent the people in St. Louis County, giving the best cost for the best price and the best service that they can get in St. Louis County. That's my job. We did it competitively. We did it above board. And nobody lied to anybody."
— Charlie Dooley, St. Louis County Executive
October 15, 2008 -
With some waste haulers vowing to ignore St. Louis County's recently established trash program by offering service to residents in trash districts awarded to other companies, County Executive Charlie Dooley said he simply is trying to serve residents — not trash haulers.
Addressing the County Council last week, brothers Bryan Barcom, who owns American Eagle Waste Industries, and Chuck Barcom, who owns Meridian Waste Service, alleged county officials "lied" when they established trash districts in unincorporated areas.
While county officials said their intention was to award a contract to one hauler per district based on the lowest bid, County Counselor Patricia Redington recently revealed that the county has no ordinance to prosecute haulers from servicing districts not awarded to them.
Chuck Barcom alleged county officials knowingly deceived residents and haulers by telling them the districts would be exclusive to one hauler without such a prosecuting ordinance.
"You (county officials) can fix this whole problem by doing the right thing. There's no way small businesses or anybody else in St. Louis County should be put out of business when you don't have the things in order that they should. And now, you're trying to fix the problem that you guys created."
— Bryan Barcom, American Eagle Waste Industries owner
"I would like to know when this council decided it was OK to lie to me, my employees, the citizens of St. Louis County and all the other haulers who either bid and did not get a district or who did bid and get a district?" Chuck Barcom said Oct. 7. "As a business owner and a taxpaying citizen of St. Louis County, I would like to know how much this lie has already cost the county in court and lawyer fees and how much more you anticipate that this lie will cost with upcoming lawsuits ... Knowingly deceiving the citizens of this county is completely unacceptable in my book."
In an effort to close the loophole allowing unsuccessful bidders to service other haulers' trash districts, Dooley requested emergency legislation to "to prohibit non-contracted trash haulers from providing services to residents within designated trash districts."
Dooley's emergency request, which the council would have to approve by a supermajority of five of its seven members, would penalize unsuccessful bidders servicing trash districts with a fine of up to $1,000 and a year in jail.
In a heated response to Chuck Barcom's allegations that county officials lied to residents and haulers in explaining the trash program, Dooley said he is not responsible for trash companies' well-being.
"I owe you absolutely nothing," Dooley said. "I represent the people in St. Louis County, giving the best cost for the best price and the best service that they can get in St. Louis County. That's my job. We did it competitively. We did it above board. And nobody lied to anybody. Now, if you can't read, I can't be responsible for that. But I will tell you this. I don't apologize for nothing this county does.
"It's always above board and transparent. We did it for the right reasons, for competitive prices and we received those competitive prices. You and your brother had an opportunity to compete like everybody else. And you lost.
"All I'm saying to you is my responsibility is to the people of St. Louis County. I've been with this council since 1995 and I think what we did was the right thing to do at the right time. So I don't apologize for what you may think. And I'm not responsible to you. I'm responsible to St. Louis County residents, not just a portion or just one business. I'm responsible for all of St. Louis County."
The county has established eight trash districts in unincorporated areas with one trash hauler per district.
County officials contend that having one hauler per district will result in a more uniform brand of service and lower prices. But some waste haulers and unincorporated residents have criticized the move because county officials also have stated that districts likely would force some small haulers out of business due to a lack of competition.
Bryan Barcom of American Eagle told the council that because of trash districts, he has lost more than 13,000 households and $3 million. This amounts to more than 60 percent of his customer base before seven more trash districts were established Sept. 29. The first trash district began in July in north-central St. Louis County.
"You guys can fix this whole problem by doing the right thing," Bryan Barcom said. "There's no way small businesses or anybody else in St. Louis County should be put out of business when you don't have the things in order that they should. And now, you're trying to fix the problem that you guys created."
If the County Council approves Dooley's recommendation to prosecute haulers for servicing trash districts not assigned to them, Bryan Barcom said American Eagle would refund his customers for service completed by his company after the districts were established Sept. 29.
"We'll give refunds to everybody that paid us up to the point that they deserve a refund," Bryan Barcom said. "Then, we'll go ahead and wait for the courts to rule the way they're going to rule."
American Eagle has filed two lawsuits against the county. One suit, filed with Meridian Waste and Waste Management of Missouri, alleges that the county violated a state law requiring that notice be provided to all haulers in the county two years before trash districts are implemented.
The second lawsuit, filed with south county resident Brett Buchanan and north county resident Greg Porter, alleges that when county officials set up trash districts, they violated the County Charter. The plaintiffs believe the charter requires residents of each district to approve their implementation through elections.
As for haulers awarded trash districts through the county's competitive bidding, attorneys for Veolia Waste Services and IESI last week told the council that they are in favor of the council approving Dooley's proposed anti-poaching ordinance.
IESI attorney Edward Dowd reminded the council that the ordinance approved to establish districts gives awarded haulers the "exclusive right" to serve those districts.
"It's also in the ordinance that the county will take all reasonable measures to enforce that for us," Dowd said. "... Every one of those (households) that leaves is costing us money because our bids were based on the density of the people that we were going to be picking up their trash from. So when you start taking a lot of people out of there, that increases our cost and reduces our profit and we're not getting the benefit of the bargain that we made with the county."
But 3rd District Councilwoman Colleen Wasinger, R-Town and Country, said the success of the first trash district set up in July shows that districts can work well without an anti-poaching law.
"The law as it was enacted worked fine before this (in the first trash district)," Wasinger said. "Ultimately, people will probably pick the lower price. If they don't want to, they don't have to ... The program itself doesn't have to have this provision to be successful."

Killeen Daily Herald
The 1st Cavalry Division is investigating claims by a former junior officer that he was forced to pay for body armor he last wore when he was injured in a roadside bomb attack in Iraq.
First Lt. William Eddie Rebrook IV, a 25-year-old from Charleston, W.Va., received a medical discharge last week from the Army.
He had received shrapnel wounds to his right arm in the roadside bomb attack Jan. 11 while riding atop his Bradley fighting vehicle in Iraq with the 1st Cavalrys 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment.
Rebrook last saw his Kevlar vest when it was removed by medics to treat his wounds, he told his local paper, The Charleston Gazette, for its Tuesday edition.
Soaked in his blood, the vest was declared a biohazard and disposed of, Rebrook said.
I last saw the (body armor) when it was pulled off my bleeding body while I was being evacuated in a helicopter, Rebrook told The Charleston Gazette. They took it off me and burned it.
Since that fateful day in Iraq, Rebrook and his unit were reunited in April at Fort Hood. Rebrooks arm never completely recovered despite seven operations, troubling him with motion problems and pain.
His last position with the battalion before his discharge was the S-1, or personnel officer.
A division senior officer, who declined to be named because of a pending congressional investigation, said the battalion has separated 21 soldiers for combat injuries without incident or bills for lost equipment. Much of that paperwork had to have crossed Rebrooks desk as personnel officer.
When Rebrooks turn came, he reported the loss of four items from the attack to his units supply sergeant, the officer confirmed.
Later, at Fort Hoods Central Issuing Facility, 25 items from his field gear issue, dubbed TA-50, that had been signed out by Rebrook were listed as missing. Rebrook turned in five of those missing items later that day.
Instead of returning to file a report with the supply sergeant for the remaining items, Rebrook opted to pay for the missing field gear, including the vest. The bill was $632.
Bottom line, he was given the opportunity not to pay for those items as a matter of due course, sworn statements, the officer said. All he had to do was go back to the supply sergeant and get the paperwork and all of it would have been settled.
Once home, Rebrook told his mother, Beckie Drumheler, about the experience, claiming he had to scrounge up cash from his buddies to pay for the body armor or face not being discharged for months. Angry, she wrote a letter to the editor.
The publication of it set off a firestorm with U.S. Sens. Robert C. Byrd and Jay Rockefeller, both Democrats from Rebrooks home state.
Ive been in touch with his family, and Ive already written (Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld) to request that they immediately refund his money and review this horrendous policy, said Rockefeller, who is a member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee. Im shocked that he has been treated this way by our military.
Byrd questioned Gen. Peter Schoomaker, chief of staff of the Army, on Tuesday during a Senate Armed Services Committee budget hearing in Washington.
How can it be that the Defense Department, which is requesting $439 billion in this budget, has to resort to dunning a wounded soldier for $700 to replace a piece of body armor? Byrd asked.
Schoomaker called Re-brooks story unusual and promised Byrd to correct it if theres any truth to it.
Soldiers who serve their country, those who put their lives on the line, deserve better, Rebrooks mother told the Gazette.
He couldnt get out of the Army until he paid it and he had to pay cash, Drumheler said. My son loved the Army and was proud of serving his country. For any soldier to be treated like this is outrageous.
Rebrooks story prompted donations from Charleston-area residents. A local radio station raised $700 within 90 minutes Tuesday, and one woman dropped off a $200 check by his mothers home, said Rebrooks stepfather, Charles Drumheler, the Gazette reported.
I thought that was pretty nice that people care, Charles Drumheler said.
Rebrooks father, Ed Rebrook, a Charleston lawyer, said while the donations were appreciated, his son did not plan to accept them.
Officially, the 1st Cavalry could not comment once the senators launched the congressional investigation into the incident.
First Cavalry Division leadership is going to do everything to ensure this issue is brought to a conclusion that is both in line with procedures that apply to all its soldiers and in the best interest of our veterans who have served so proudly and honorably in Iraq, said Lt. Col. Scott Bleichwehl, the divisions spokesman, noting that soldiers are not held financially responsible for any equipment lost, damaged or destroyed in combat operations.
Rebrook reportedly called his former unit after his mothers letter was published to apologize, telling them I was at fault, an officer close to the process said.

Take a look at Stanley Tucci's George Harvey and Saoirse Ronan's Susie Salmon through the first two pictures of Peter Jackson's adaptation project, 'The Lovely Bones'.
First two photos of "The Lovely Bones" have made their way out, presenting the first look at the Peter Jackson-directed and co-written feature film. One which captures Stanley Tucci's George Harvey in front of miniatures was posted at USA Today, while the other which gives out a glimpse at Saoirse Ronan's Susie Salmon in what is said to be a place between Earth and heaven came out in courtesy of Empire.
In addition to the photo, USA Today also posted what Jackson has to say about the movie. "I found the book to be curiously optimistic," Jackson wrote in an e-mail from New Zealand. "I felt inspired by Susie's struggle to come to terms with her own death. In the face of overwhelming grief, she finds hope. She holds on to love, and by doing so, she transcends the horror of her murder."
"It's God-less in the sense that when Susie dies, she finds herself caught in a place between Earth and heaven - she is in an 'In-Between'," the filmmaker furthermore continued. He then added that when the girl moves on, "we're happy for audiences to imagine this new world in whatever way makes them comfortable."
Adapted from Alice Sebold's best-selling novel, "Bones" picks up the story of Susie Salmon, a young girl who is raped and murdered by her serial killer neighbor. As her spirit reaches heaven, she can only see her family's grief from a distance while her murderer sets his eyes on another victim. Torn apart from her desire to seek revenge and willingness to help her family recover from the tragedy, she struggles to balance the two mixed feeling. The movie sees Saoirse Ronan, Stanley Tucci, Rachel Weisz, Mark Wahlberg and Susan Sarandon as the cast ensemble.

Syracuse Man Seeking 'Big' Bucks From TV's ' The Big Bang Theory'
A Syracuse area man claims he's owed a large sum of money for writing the theme song to TV's " The Big Bang Theory," and he wants his former band mates to pay up.
A Syracuse area man claims he's owed a large sum of money for writing the theme song to TV's " The Big Bang Theory," and he wants his former band mates to pay up.
It is with a heavy heart that we report that 'Big Bang Theory' actress Carol Ann Susi has died at 62.
Kaley Cuoco invited all her fans to experience her wedding day preparations.
Even in light of the genius flowing through 'The Big Bang Theory,' this seems like a no-brainer. Following a highly publicized guest turn as Sheldon (Jim Parsons)'s childhood hero Professor Proton, legendary sitcom star Bob Newhart has been announced to return for season 7 in a recurring capacity, but will anything prove different about his return role?
Never fear, fans of 'The Big Bang Theory' anxiously awaiting the show's sixth season. A little applied physics never hurt anybody, at least seriously enough to delay taping. Well, actually applied physics could kill any number of people based on its principles alone, but not today! Despite a (reportedly) gruesome car crash, actress Mayim Bialik will live to hold Sheldon Cooper's hand once more. But did she leave a piece of herself behind?
Though many people long suspected (or secretly already knew), 'The Big Bang Theory' star Jim Parsons has now made his sexual orientation official public knowledge. In an interview with The New York Times, the actor quietly revealed that yes, he is in fact gay.
14 million viewers watch the critically-acclaimed ABC comedy 'Modern Family' at its regular time, but if you add in the 4.5 million who watch a recording of it later, that number actually jumps to 18 million. So not only is it one of the best shows on television with exceptional ratings, it's also the most recorded.
Elmo and Cookie Monster from Sesame Street visited the offices of Entertainment Weekly magazine recently and talked about some of the guest starts visiting Sesame Street this season including actors from the shows "The Big Bang Theory," "Bored to Death," The Office" and "CSI: Miami"

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
When you filed (I'm assuming a Ch 7) did you sign a re-affirmation agreement with the people where you bought the truck? Or, did you just keep making the payments on your own?
Of course, I don't have all the paperwork to review, but if you did not sign a new contract (reaffirmation) then you probably had the truck debt discharged and you are just paying and they are accepting. Which is fine, except you cannot do it any longer. Naturally, they will want the vehicle back, but if it had been discharged, there will be no deficiency judgment.

The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 18 airs tonight on CBS! Here's the preview and everything you need to know about "The Mommy Observation."
Sheldon will see an upsetting side of his mom tonight when The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 18 airs on CBS. The episode, tellingly titled "The Mommy Observation," sees Sheldon deal with the consequences of catching his mother in a compromising position with the new man in her life. Back in Pasadena, Raj will entertain the gang with a Murder Mystery party that doesn't go quite as planned.
The official synopsis for "The Mommy Observation" gives an overview of the unexpected events.
When Sheldon visits his Mom in Houston, he is forced to confront a new reality. Meanwhile, Raj's 'Murder Mystery' party starts some fights within the gang.
On last week's episode of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon and Howard were forced to confront how much they meant to each other during a turbulent flight down to Houston. Meanwhile, Leonard proved why he is a ridiculously good boyfriend, and Raj left absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind as to why he is still single – at Amy's expense.
The preview for The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 18 focuses on the mystery in Pasadena, as well as Sheldon's relationship with his mother.
A new sneak peek from "The Mommy Observation" sets the scene for and then features said observation. Much to Sheldon's horror and Howard's bewilderment, Mrs. Cooper is left with few mysteries to hold back from her neurotic son.
Still photos from The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 18 offer a few more hints as to what will go down in tonight's episode. If nothing else, we know that poor Stuart is an in-game goner.
The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 18, "The Mommy Observation," airs tonight at 8:00 p.m. on CBS.

A COUNCIL official enforcing the so-called bedroom tax told a man with Parkinson's disease to move into a one-bedroom house with inflatable beds for his disabled son and pregnant daughter, MSPs have heard.
Scott Wilson, 46, from Biggar in South Lanarkshire, lost his gardening business and career as a reserve firefighter after developing Parkinson's. He sold his home to the council and separated from his partner who left home with his two children.
Mr Wilson stayed in his disability-adapted two-bedroom house under a mortgage-to-let scheme but has now been told he has to move out or have his housing benefit cut, Holyrood's Welfare Reform Committee heard.
The committee is taking evidence on the UK Government's under-occupancy charge, also known as the bedroom tax.
Bedroom tax: Ray of hope for thousands as two women celebrate landmark victory over hated Con-Dem levy
The policy cuts housing benefit by up to a quarter for those deemed to have additional bedrooms in their home, but the committee heard that people have had to borrow to meet extra costs such as moving vans and vehicle fuel.
People have also had to abandon their possessions and self-purchased fixtures and fittings to move into smaller properties if they are available, the committee heard.
Mr Wilson may have to move up to 20 miles away because of a shortage of one-bedroom homes in Biggar, separating him from his son who has a heart condition and daughter who is expecting his first grandchild, he told the committee.
"I recently separated from my partner of nearly 20 years, partly because of the stress that Parkinson's has put on my family life and relationships. I have lived in my home for 25 years. We had to sell it back to the council because of financial hardship," he said.
"I was shocked when a council employee phoned and told me that my housing benefit would be cut to the equivalent of a one-bedroom home and that I would have to find the additional money from my benefits to pay for two bedrooms.
"I asked the person on the phone about how I could have my daughter and expected grandchild or my disabled son to come and stay with me if I moved to a one-bedroom flat, or shared my home.
"I asked, 'where were they were expected to sleep?' And was asked, 'Have you never heard of inflatable beds'?
"Mortgage-to-rent was the only way for me to stay in my family home which I had decorated and made my home over 25 years, and now someone wants to take it away from me, rip out the kitchen that I put in and the bathroom and give it to someone else just for the sake of making it easier for the Government to claw back some money.
"The council gave me a wet room and adapted my house because I'm now living alone with Parkinson's and now I'm being told to move out.
"I'm going to be a grandfather in a few months but they're expecting me to destroy my family life and move into a one-bedroom house. I'll fight it all the way. I'll not go.
"In the area that I live, you're lucky if there's a dozen one-bedroom houses. But for me to move from a two-bedroom into a one-bedroom, trying to fit all my furniture in, is just unfeasible.
"I only live three miles from my son now so it's easy for me to see him. It's hard enough to pay for heating, gas, electric and council tax, but if I moved 20 miles away I would have to fork out a fortune in diesel to see him. It would devastate us.
"Because of his condition we need to be on 24-hour call for a slot coming up for the serious operations he needs. If I'm 20 miles away my ex-partner would be at her wit's end."
The committee also heard a submission by widow Linda Kennedy, 58, from Glasgow, who has had to borrow from her pregnant daughter and son to cover the shortfall in her housing benefit.
Daughter Lyndsay Ferry, 29, told the committee: "My extra money would have gone to my baby, but I'm now in a position where I have to help my mum."
Anne Bradley, 54, from Glasgow, told how Queen's Cross Housing Association staff suggested she take in a lodger to avoid her benefit being cut.
"I would never take a stranger into my home," she said. "It has cost my family money financially to help me to move. Without them I wouldn't have been able to move and now I owe them money, otherwise I would have ended up homeless."

Psoriasis and vitiligo sufferers have a great reason to feel optimistic! Personal Targeted Phototherapy™ is a new class of individualized home treatment with clinically proven ultraviolet B (UVB) light.
Levia is the first Personal Targeted Phototherapy device for the self-treatment of itchy, scaly, psoriatic plaques and vitiligo patches. Under a physician's care, Levia® enables patients to privately and personally treat their small areas and scalp with therapeutic ultraviolet B light. Levia's proprietary beam delivery systems enable precise, fast and safe treatment giving patients an effective non-drug option, in the comfort and convenience of their own home.
Levia consists of a console, which includes a calibration port and a touch screen control panel, and an ergonomic handpiece, about the size of a hair dryer, which houses the proprietary Levia UVB light engine. Two interchangeable beam delivery attachments – Levia® LiteBrush™ and Levia® LiteSpot™ – fit into the Handpiece to deliver targeted phototherapy precisely to the affected areas of the scalp and skin respectively.
Psoriasis and vitiligo remain a chronic, incurable diseases, but for many sufferers they can now be managed into remission with Levia.
Personal Targeted Phototherapy™ is a non-drug option, without the potential systemic side effects of pharmaceutical treatments. It can safely help keep your psoriasis and vitiligo at bay.
Under a physician's supervision, Levia® users can employ two proprietary light beam delivery attachments (LiteSpot™ and LiteBrush™) to deliver precise, measured and targeted ultraviolet B (UVB) light within the spectral band of 300-320 nanometers to areas of psoriasis-affected skin. This targeted UVB light as used by Levia is named UVB-Select™. The Levia LiteSpot is used to treat small areas anywhere on the body, while the Levia LiteBrush is designed specifically for the scalp.
Each of the attachments, which fit interchangeably into the Handpiece, directs unobstructed UVB light to the target areas of skin and scalp. The quartz fiber-optic bristles of the LiteBrush bypass the hair barrier to deliver light directly on to the scalp or other hair bearing areas. The specially-designed, rounded tips of the bristles spread the light over and around the contact points on the scalp, bypassing the hair and delivering the therapeutic UVB light precisely on the areas that need it.
The LiteSpot incorporates proprietary optical technology in directing the UVB light that is generated by an enhanced lamp with special optical coatings. The LiteSpot delivers a precise UVB dose directly to psoriasis plaques without the broad illumination of uninvolved skin which is often a problem with conventional phototherapy devices. The light beam output profile of the LiteSpot allows delivery of UVB to small areas that can be "tiled" next to each other, while sparing the border areas from double exposure. The maximum spot size for the Levia LiteSpot is three square centimeters and its compact design makes handling easy and comfortable.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Grosz, Gay K URN etd-04152009-145757 Title An Analysis of the Historical and Biographical Influences on the Music of Francis Poulenc as Portrayed in His Les Soirees de Nazelles Degree Doctor of Musical Arts (D.M.A.) Department Music Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Delony, Willis Lane Committee Chair Gurt, Michael Committee Member Perry, Jeffrey Committee Member Sioles, Gregory W. Committee Member Fletcher, Kristopher Dean's Representative Keywords
- Les Soirees de Nazelles
- Poulenc
Date of Defense 2009-04-14 Availability unrestricted AbstractAs a composer, Francis Poulenc has been under-appreciated and overlooked by many
contemporary performers and teachers. Poulenc wrote music from his heart, paying little
heed to formal systems or musical fashions of his day. In matters of harmony, he was
content to use conventional chromatic harmony, but in a manner uniquely his own.
Poulenc's compositions always reflected his personality and Les Soirées de Nazelles is no
exception. The many facets of Poulenc's personality cannot be separated from his music
and they contribute to its wit and charm.
This document is an examination of Poulenc's background, personality, and influences,
and how these aspects appear and affect Les Soirées de Nazelles. Chapter One describes
the cultural atmosphere of Paris at the turn of the century. Chapter Two traces Poulenc's
background. Chapter Three looks at teachers and composers who were influential in his
life. The focus of Chapter Four is on Poulenc's personality and is presented from the
perspective of several people who were part of his inner circle. Elements of Poulenc's
compositional style as they apply to Les Soirées de Nazelles are the focus of Chapter
Five. Chapter Six is an analytical view of the individual movements of Les Soirées de
As Poulenc's most technically challenging work for solo piano, Les Soirées de Nazelles
should only be performed by advanced pianists, and only then by performers who are
willing to seek to understand the complex nature of its composer. It is an excellent
representative, not only of Poulenc's compositional style, but also of the change of
attitudes in French music at the turn-of-the century.

Undercover Karaoke With Jewel
After watching this Funny or Die video where Jewel dresses up as "Karen," a random business woman with a big schnoz and sings some of her hit songs at a karaoke bar, I'll forever wonder if the chump singing next to me is really Lionel Richie in a wig. My favorite line in the video is when a patron tells "Karen," after hearing her sing, that it doesn't matter how ugly she is, with a voice like that, she'll get laid. [via Jezebel]

Comment on Shakugan no Shana III Likely Due in Autumn by Jin Stevens:
Wow. And I just blogged the other day on how much I'd like a Shana sequel. Amazing.

Korean. Was the reference to K-pop not enough?

I'm working on a related gallery, but alas my knowledge of the J-pop scene is laughably bad. You can always start your own poll on the forums.
- Girls' Generation Imitator Fail:
I saw that one, but didn't put it in the article because I thought she was on par with the yellow shirted guy in the first video. There's a few dozen of those floating around in YouTube; a lot more on sites like Naver and Cyworld.
- Queen's Blade Total Yuri Raep Anime:
I just pulled down a fansubbed episode 3 a few hours ago. It's not my thing really. It'll probably go into my drop list.

I actually went and looked for it, but sadly Cyworld's (the original source) search features are atrocious and I wasn't able to find it.

>Health and Nutrition>ECG - right bundle branch block (RBBB)
Anybody within the running / endurance community have "ABNORMAL" results with their ECG relating to Right Bundle Branch Block?
I got the "ABNORMAL" result, and after a 30 minute Google check, it appears as if 35% to 50% of endurance athletes have this challenge.
The doctor wasn't overly concerned, but has guided me to a cardiologist. Her suspicion was that the "ABNORMAL" finding was due to my IM training and that everything was actually "NORMAL". Curious whether others have had this show up on their ECG.
"The prevalence of incomplete RBBB has been estimated to range from 35% to 50% in athletes compared with 10% in young, healthy controls. The ECG pattern is more often noted in athletes engaged in endurance sports, with a striking male preponderance. It has been suggested that the right ventricular (RV) conduction delay is not within the His-Purkinje system, but is caused by the enlarged RV cavity size/increased cardiac muscle mass and the resultant conduction delay"
2017 Goals:
#1: Do what I can do (200+ training days, 200+ aerobic hours).
#2: Race shape (1/2 marathon, 2 half Ironmans, marathon)
#3: Prepare for 2018
I wear a holter monitor once a year because I have some conduction abnormalities. I originally went to the cardiologist about 4 years ago when I had been running for about 6 months and become pretty fit. I would be lying in bed at night or sitting on the couch and I could feel my heart miss a beat. The rhythm would go 2-5 beats and then one cleanly missing beat and it would repeat. It was a somewhat disconcerting thing to sit there and wait to see if my heart would start back up.
I went through a bunch of tests, Holter monitor, stress test, cardiac echo. In the end, two different cardiologists (one regular guy and the groups electrophysiologist) told me it was nothing to worry about and likely a result of fitness. I don't remember details of the diagnosis anymore unfortunately. It was fun to see the results of the Holter that there were times during the night when my heart rate was in the mid 20s because of the dropped beats. Since I am not worried about what it is I am much less conscious of the missing beats anymore.
I guess the moral is go see the cardiologist so someone who knows this stuff so they can make sure you are ok.
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.
12 Monkeys
This is a message board. Cardiac conduction delays can be serious business. Talk to the cardiologist, not us yahoos.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Feeling the growl again
This is a message board. Cardiac conduction delays can be serious business. Talk to the cardiologist, not us yahoos.
+1. There is a lot of stuff like this where athletes test abnormal, but it's really normal. But that doesn't mean that abnormal is necessarily normal. Get checked out to confirm that abnormal is normal for you.
I roll my eyes whenever a GP sees a HR below 60 and wants a 24-hr Halter monitor even when they know it's an athlete....but this sounds like it's beyond that.
"If you want to be a bad a$s, then do what a bad a$s does. There's your pep talk for today. Go Run." -- Slo_Hand
I am spaniel - Crusher of Treadmills
As an Electrophysiologist- I would say it is normal after other abnormal causes are excluded.
Having said that, my opinion, based upon my general experience and not having anything to do with your specific case in particular is that an incomplete rbbb is often benign. A true RBBB is also often benign, and rarely progresses to complete heart block in a rapid manner.
Again, this is based upon years of general experience. I have neither spoken to you, taken a history, nor examined you. True recommendations can only be made by your treating physicians.
I have this as well. I was diagnosed due to the good doctors trying to rule out any danger from another condition. Then I had to go through a long series of tests (I had many EKGs, ecocardiograms, stress tests, and time with the halter monitor) to make sure I could swim collegiately with the RBBB. I've not had any issue with it through 4 years of college swimming nor running after that time.
From my experience, some doctors seem to really be concerned about it, mostly ones who don't know if you've had test to exclude larger issues. The biggest issue is when you end up in the ER and someone discovers your RBBB without a complete medical history. My recommendation is to work with your trusted cardiologist (I had one that was nervous about treating me, so he sent me to someone else) and make sure emergency workers will know of your RBBB if you do something silly like crash your bicycle. For me, the biggest reason for getting the Road ID is to share this information.
Thanks for your posts. The cardiologist has given me the green light to continue doing what I'm doing based on a follow up heart ultrasound as well as a treadmill stress test. However, as Trent kindly pointed out, abnormal findings are serious business and should be treated as such. Don't get medical advice or think things are "ok" based on yahoo's on message boards. (and I mean that with all due respect to all of us here on RA).
FWIW, I'm somewhat relieved that the cardiologist gave me the green light and didn't put the brakes on my goal race (in 37 days).Cheers,Brian

NEW YORK (Apr. 12)
Fifty-five outstanding Americans of every race and creed, marking the 200th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson tomorrow, have contributed to the symposium "Thomas Jefferson: Then and Now" published today by the Bill of Rights Committee of the Council Against Intolerance, of which Herbert Bayard Swope is national chairman.
Mr. Swope, in his foreword to the book, points out that Thomas Jefferson profoundly affected George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. "Lincoln's political philosophy, in fact, was almost wholly Jeffersonian, he was the chief disciple of America's Apostle of Liberty," Mr. Swope writes. He emphasizes that "this foreword and the writings of the distinguished men and women which follow are efforts to bring Jefferson home to the people who owe him so much.
