Simple fly tying tricks
I thought it would be good to have a thread covering some of the simpler things people do every day. Here's a few from me:
1. Prevent break-offs - Wrap thread around the head so the point where the hook eye closes is covered. This is a very frequent point where your tippet can get in the joint and cut off. I always thread wrap over the base of the hook eye so it's impossible for the line to get in there.
2. Stop your eyes from rotating on the hook shank - I always run my line 3-4 times around the metal connecting the hook eyes on each side of the hook shank and do 3-4 wraps around the hook shank. Most people just do the cross wrap to secure the eyes to the shank, but that lets them rotate very easily. Take your thread and run it perpendicular to the hook shank around the metal connecting the eyes, then do 3-4 wraps around the hook shank, then wrap 3-4 times around the same piece of metal on the opposite side of the hook shank, and again 3-4 times around the shank. Don't do diagonal/cross wraps at any point in this process. Your eyes will only rotate if you do this when you hook a fish or if you hook into the bottom hard.
3. Get your silicone legs to go where you want - One tricky part of tying sili legs onto a fly is getting them not to stand up due to your thread wrap being tight on them. On the flip side, making them lie too flat can also be an issue. You want them to stick up at maybe a 45 degree angle from the hook shank for the best motion in the water (my opinion). A simple trick I use is to wrap them on the shank, then go on the same side of the shank and come up behind one side of your hook eyes and back over to the opposite side of the shank. Simply doing a cross wrap can make them lie too flat. If you start your wrap from the same side of the shank by going under the eyes, it creates less of an angle for the thread than doing a standard cross-wrap, and your legs will stick up more.
Those are a few things I've been thinking about as I've tied up several hundred bonefish flies for my trips. They're pretty simple tricks but make a big difference in the performance of your flies.

Elise Blumann was one of Western Australia's leading modernist artists. Born and trained in Germany, she came to Perth in 1938 as a refugee and, influenced by German Expressionism, her work appeared bold and unconventional in the 1940s. In this painting, using dynamic and expressive brushstrokes, Blumann captured the force of a wild Indian Ocean storm buffeting trees near her home on the banks of the Swan River.

text: I know breeder questions get asked here almost to death but oh well. I am starting to get the itch To train a new pup. After doing the whole over the phone have the puppy put on a plane thing last time I have vowed never agian. Dont get me wrong she is a great hunting dog all the drive in the world and I love her to death. But she has many health issues and I really come the to conclusion that you need to shake hand with the breeder and make sure your dogs comming from a loving enviroment. So now after training a few labs I want to make the switch over to a chessie. I have Always wanted one and I think me and my home are ready. Now the hard task finding a good honest breeder close to home. So if anyone knows any good chesapeake breeders close to southern PA are MD that they would recommend that would be great. Thats for reading my long rant to ask a simple question.

Bain, Mitt Riomney and Meg Whitman
Original post made by Paul Losch, Community Center, on Feb 25, 2012
I have worked as a client with the Bain folks on the consulting side, and I hold them and my epxerience with them in very high regard. Met Meg Whitman when she was there, never met Mitt Romney. The Bain people with whom I had close interaction, including current EBay CEO John Donahoe, were just great people.
Perhaps they are too highly trained in how to manage clients, and think it is the same as managing voters. For good and for bad, when Bain is consulting for a company, there will be manipulation by the Bain folks. Bain is very good at corporate politics.
It does appear that such skills do not translate into effective national politics in the case of Mitt, or a run to be Governor of California in the case 1 1/2 years ago in the case of Meg. They both have been lfat-footed in the campaigns for high public office.
Don't get me wrong, both of these people are very effective and succesful executives, and have had a positive impact on things in which they have been involved.
Like both of them, I have a Harvard MBA. I have been turned down for jobs over the years because I was not viewed as "qualified," or had the "right relevant expenrience." I got over it.
Meg got a similar rejection letter Novmeber 2010, and Mitt will get the same, most likely in the general election in November.
Not bad people, just not right for the job.

Mitt is SO very uncomfortable as a politician.
I sincerely would love the opportunity to talk, host a dinner, sit around a fire at the grove drinking with him (okay, assume as a minister in his church he doesn't drink....) He would be/is obviously intelligent and fascinating. On a one to one level, he's downright charming. I've heard this about him over and over.
On stage? he's like a nervous nelly on a first date, constantly putting his foot in his mouth, because he feels the need to keep speaking when he runs out of things to say....
"I'm unemployed"
"Ann drives a couple caddies"
"The trees here are just the right size" (twice this week) The list goes on: "who let the dogs out" etc...
I'm guessing he also isn't "handled" well. Being in an empty stadium, etc.. He' gives an okay speech with the teleprompter but flounders without - averages a couple unforced errors a week.
Mitt: quit trying to be the Joe Sixpack side of George Bush. You're a successful wealthy man. Live it.
Release your last ten years of returns like Chris Christie advised and get on with it.
We don't care about your fleet of cars in the half dozen mansions spread around the country. That's half of the homes McCain had in 2008, fercrissakes.

Mitt saved the Salt Lake City Olympics. Barack Obama would have been like a deer in the headlights, if he had to face the same challenge. Take away Barack's teleprompter, and he is reduced to a clown.
Romney is superior to Obama, in almost all zones...except the clown act. If Romney wins the nomination, he will have an easy walk over Obama, because he is so much more talented as an executive and leader.
a resident of Atherton

Mitt was bailed out in Salt Lake using earmarks and bragged about them. Santorum called him on it.
$1.3 Billion in our tax dollars saved Mitt's bacon. He bragged how he only spent $3.5 million on five lobbying firms to get some of the earmarks. In his book, Turnaround, he wrote that he directed his chief Washington lobbyist "to bring in more federal funding than had ever been appropriated for any Olympics, summer or winter."
He reiterated all that as a selling point when he ran for governor of Massachusetts: "I was successful... got record funds from the federal government...."
Your: "he will have an easy walk over Obama"
Don't strut too much. Mitt makes too many unforced errors. The campaign makes too many mistakes and miscalculations (like centering everything on a worsening economy.) If he was that great a campaigner, he would have had this all sown up after he won both Iowa and New Hampshire. He's virtaully lived in those states for 6 years. The good thing about living there is he will take Iowa this year, normally considered a toss up.

Mitt has more than the Olympic bailout problem. He loses Michigan automatically for writing "let Detroit fail".
He supported the wall street bailouts.
At Bain, he sought, received and used taxpayer money as bailouts with $44 million for GS Tech in 2002, Bain's own 1993 FDIC bailout for $10 million, etc...

on Feb 25, 2012 at 8:12 pm
The way Bain was set up, I'm sure a lot of taxpayer bailout money went straight into Mitt's pocket.

Since you have the honorary distinction of being able to write a community blog for us, you should at least learn to edit your leading post.
You may have some local expertise to blog on local matters, being on the Parks and Rec as you so often tell us mere mortals who just live here, but what gives you expertise on national politics?
I suggest you keep your community blog on community issues and leave national politics as a separate issue.
Now, to get back to community issues, what do you think about 5 libraries in town, or poor supermarket and other shopping in town, or poor public transportation in town, or poor traffic efficiency in town, or any myriad of issues that affects our community directly and could be covered in a community blog?
Are you going to run for city council or is Parks and Rec the sum of your political ambition?

Walter, that was my first thought...better a "bainie" over a "community organizer"...any day! The first makes money for retirement funds and investors, the second loses it or redistributes it.
'Nuff said, as some folks like to say.
a resident of Atherton

Walter and Perspective have to ignore the subject, Resident ignores the subject and attacked the poster.
That would be like a librul changing the subject to: "why elect the Republicans, they increase the size of government more than the democrat party" theme and using the recent Bush terms as evidence, along with Ronald Reagan and G H W Bush.
I think Romney is a deeply flawed candidate, as was Whitman, even though both are steller in their private worlds. I think the poster is on to something that I happen to agree with: CEO's do not run good campaigns, they don''t allow themselves to be handled well, either they don't have advisers that will (or allow them to) stand up to the candidate. I think Bloomberg, even with his success in winning as mayor, would also fail on the national stage. Trump's a sad joke.
Senator Santorum or one of the unannounced prospects would be a far better general election candidate and have a much better chance at taking back the White House.
My two cents.

I have nothing against Paul airing his political views. Just against him airing them under the guise of a community blog.
a resident of Atherton
on Feb 26, 2012 at 12:05 pm
Aren't we all allowed to start a new thread, such as he did in sharing his experiences with Whitman and Romney?
Referring to my previous post, I included a lot of opinion and not much fact. Fact: Romney is doing far worse than he did in 2008, even against his own record. He has lost states he won in 2008. He has much lower vote totals in many states this year compared to the same states in 2008.
He and the rest of the field are part of a sad enthusiasm gap for conservatives this year. We may rail against Obama out loud, but we're not showing up in the primary states.
Maine had 5,000 primary voters in a state of 1.3 million.
Is it the message? is it the candidates? is it the organization (for the party as a whole, the state parties or the individual candidates' organizations?) is our only advantage left the ability to fund our candidates, to outresource the opposition?
The Grand Old Party is in a sad state of affairs if they can't get us out to vote or caucus for our choice on whom to run for the Presidency of the United States of America.

I have nothing against Paul sharing his political views, just against him sharing them under a community blog. He can share his political views in a new thread about Issues Beyond Palo Alto and I am quite happy. His community blog, is his alone, by courtesy of the Palo Alto Weekly, and I would like him to discuss community issues, as he has done in his other thread started today on ABAG.
If you don't understand what I mean look at the blue writing under his title at the top of the blog.
a resident of Atherton
on Feb 26, 2012 at 12:35 pm
Blue? Sorry, I'm colorblind in my later years. But I think I get what you're referring to. It obviously is an important distinction to you. Perspective and you are quite cognizant of the word "community."
a resident of Old Palo Alto
on Feb 26, 2012 at 2:47 pm
Resident, what possible difference does it make what Mr. Losch's blog heading is? It is the equivalent of an opinion piece in a newspaper or magazine. He can say whatever he wants. Frankly, national or even international events often affect our community.
You seem to regard yourself as expert on many things; in fact you post on many forums about many subjects with no more claim to expertise than Mr. Losch...in fact often with much less.
Mr. Losch at least attempts to serve his city in his public office, and should be praised for his sense of civic duty, not flogged with nonsense. Have you done anything more than whine about the inadequacies of Palo Alto? Have you run for office or organized campaigns for change?

"The overall subject was the suitability of candidates for public office. "
Actually, Walter, if you read the original post, it really isn't that broad, about any candidates for any office. It's about the CEO candidates in general, and by extension it's effect on the sad state of affairs in the Republican primary.
Trashing Obama is fine, but why bother in this thread? If the party doesn't find a real candidate that can beat him, you'll have 5 more years to trash Obama. How does that sound? A real GOP candidate should be up 10 points over Obama in national polls by now. They're running unopposed against Obama and have had the spotlight on them for many, many months. The Obama campaign won't kick in for months. Yet few polls show a GOP candidate beating Obama, even with all the positive effects of being at this point in the election cycle favoring the GOP.
Conservative voter apathy is a real problem. In my opinion it is linked to this kind of candidate that cannot run a good campaign.
Evidence? Easy to find everyday with the Romney mismanaged campaign. Mitt's appearance and the boos accompanying same at the Daytona 500 yesterday. From the Times Web Link
"Mr. Romney's Florida trip might have seemed like an odd, if confident, detour from states that will be voting on Tuesday. But Michigan has an ample share of Nascar fans. And the campaign hoped that images of Mr. Romney at the speedway would circulate widely through the Southern states that vote on March 6.
But the crowd initially booed Mr. Romney, who occasionally struck a discordant note, as when he approached a group of fans wearing plastic ponchos. "I like those fancy raincoats you bought," he said. "Really sprung for the big bucks." And when asked if he was a fan of the sport, he mentioned that "I have some great friends who are Nascar team owners." "
Like being asked: Hey Mitt, do you like movies? A: "my friends own movie companies."
Goes out of state just to insult NASCAR fans? once again, badly prepped and managed. Name dropping that you hang with millionaire owners only exacerbates his image problem.
Walter - if it's this candidate in November, be prepared to insult Obama for a long time.

Santorum denounces Obama during Cumming rally
CUMMING, GA -Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum spoke to an overflow audience at the giant First Redeemer Church in Cumming Sunday night during what was billed as a 'God and Country' rally.

Yeah, been waiting for those headlines all cycle, John? The "Santorum Surges" weren't enough?
Republicans need to look at Senator Santorum's manufacturing plan.
Republicans also need to take up and pass Obama's corporate tax rate cut now. They already screwed up by letting him beat them to the punch. Adopt it now, take it off the table as an election issue.

Mitt Romney, February 18, 2007:
"When there was no real contest in the Republican primary, I'd vote in the Democrat [sic] primary, vote for the person who I thought would be the weakest opponent for a Republican. [...] I'd go in their primary, just like a lot of other folks, and voted against the person who I thought was the strongest Democrat. [...] So, yeah, as an independent, I'll go in and play in their primary, but I'm a Republican, and have been through my life. [...] But a registered independent, so I could vote in either primary."
Mitt Romney, January 28, 2012:
"In my state of Massachusetts, you could register as an independent and go vote in which—either primary happens to be very interesting. And any chance I got to vote against Bill Clinton or Ted Kennedy, I took."
Mitt Romney, Feb 28, 2012:
"It's outrageous to see Rick Santorum team up with the Obama people and go out after union labor in Detroit and try to get them to vote against me. [...] Look, we don't want Democrats deciding who our nominee is going to be. [...] I just think it's outrageous and disgusting. [...] This is reminiscent of the dirty tricks of the past, and it's got to end, and I think Rick Santorum has a lot of explaining to do."
The reason Michigan's primary is open this time around - it was supported by certain candidates. Guess who wanted independents and liberals to vote for him? "According to a Michigan Republican State Committee (MRSC) member, Romney backers in statewide Republican leadership roles, including the governor and attorney general, pushed for an open Michigan primary. These open primary rules allow voters to vote in either party's primary without declaring any party affiliation." Web Link

I agree, Mitt Romney is in this race for a reason, and whatever it is it is not for the benefit of the American people who do not seem to matter to him. I acknowlege his world view has some upside and logic, but this is not where I want the country to go, and as America goes we push or try to push the rest of the developed countries to follow, and they do not want to follow the US.
Most people want more human values in our government, not just the almighty dollar, and most peolpe feel that those who have the most of the almighty dollars in large part did not accrue their fortunes on merit but by a now institution form of bribery and corruption, and edging out the American people in favor of dirty tricks, marketing and slick advertisements.

Mitt squeaks by last night, winning his home state where the Romney name is king, by a piddling 3 points. Amazingly inept:
- spent almost $5 million in ads this last week in a state he once led by 30 points
- even with the 5 mil, Mitt probably only splits the delegates from Michigan with Santorum, may even get less than half. So there is good news, at least!
- Mitt won MI by almost 10 percent four years ago. That's gotta hurt.
- can you imagine Bill Clinton almost losing Arkansas? Or a Bush losing Texas? Or Jeb Bush losing Florida? (side note - if Mitt is the general candidate and loses Florida, it's game over - no way for our party to realistically win without Florida.)
- it's like Charlie Sheen losing an election in a Hooters - wouldn't happen.
- did ya listen to his "acceptance" speech???? Worst speech ever! The guy can't speak without a teleprompter - Senator Santoum's speech highlighted the clear differences between the two - one guy can talk from his heart, the other has used a teleprompter in every speech since he flubbed his Iowa mumble, er, "speech". He has to use the teleprompter to remind him which side of the issues he is on that day. He's a fraud trying to buy the primaries and failing to even do that in a satisfactory manner.
But hey! the trees are just the right size - Mitt told us so, along with a thousand others - inside a 75,000 seat stadium! What an inept bozo. At least his wife has the coupla caddies and his buds own nascar teams. Quite the amazing campaign, able to seize defeat from the jaws of victory.
Mitt still hasn't won 50% from any state, even with the reduced field.
Get out Mitt. You can't beat the incumbent and that's the only argument you ever had. No one wants you if you can't win.
We need another candidate.
The Senator or a new candidate must emerge from this wreckage. Even Newt would be better, at least he can debate.
"Meh" Romney - go away.

How Mitt Romney manages to keep making "miraculous" comebacks.
Super PAC spending over the last two weeks: Spending primarily focused on negative attacks:
• Mitt Romney Super PAC: $8.8 million
• Rick Santorum Super PAC: $0
• Newt Gingrich Super PAC: $0
Spending including any sort of negative attack:
• Mitt Romney Super PAC: $8.9 million
• Rick Santorum Super PAC: $0.8 million
• Newt Gingrich Super PAC: $0
Amazing what money can buy theses days. Wonder what Mitt has been promosing his billionaires what they can expect in payback.

Why would someone so well known for multiple positions ever say this?
When asked if he repudiates his former attack statements, Mitt claimed not to remember, but.....
"Uh, I'm actually going to to, I'm not familiar precisely with exactly what I said, but I stand by what I said, whatever it was. And with regards to, uh, I'll go back and take at what was said there."
Yup. Web Link
"but I stand by what I said, whatever it was"
From the penultimate flip-flopper.
As far as the Bainies go, Mitt praised Meg again yesterday, as she merrily follows in Carly's footsteps, in running HP into the ground with news of 30,000 layoffs.
Good time to repeat your famous line, Mitt: "I like to fire people."

By M. Scott Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Feisty the rat terrier has picked up a few fans over the past 14 years.
"I have so many people call and say, 'I love that dog. Will you sell him?'" David Leatherman, 67, said. "I say, 'No. He's my best friend.'"
People often spot the pooch when waiting for a light to change in front of Leatherman and Feisty's office on East Main Street in Tupelo.
"When we get to the office, he'll snoop around then walk right in here," Leatherman said. "At noontime, he knows I take him out to go potty, so he walks to the left. Every evening, he walks and goes right because we're going home."
When Feisty isn't leading the way outside, he's often curled up on a comfy chair reserved for him. Leatherman is an insurance and investment broker for Northwestern Mutual, and his clients have gotten used to his canine co-worker.
"He's here every day I'm here," Leatherman said. "He goes with me everywhere."
Their day together begins with breakfast, and Feisty is accustomed to half a hotdog. After that, the they go to Elvis Presley Lake for a 2-mile stroll.
"For 14, he does really well," Leatherman said. "He has no problem getting his walk in."
The next stop is usually the office, where Feisty gets territorial without getting nasty.
"Generally, he'll come up and make his presence known, but it won't go any further," Leatherman said. "That's his way of explaining that he's in control of this office."
The pair share their evenings, too. When it's time to watch a movie, Feisty sits in Leatherman's lap.
Fridays are date nights for Leatherman and Dorinda, his wife of 47 years.
"We go to any restaurant she wants to go to," Leatherman said. "Feisty knows it's Friday night. He goes, too."
The dog stays in the car during dinner, but he's learned to expect a treat after his wait.
"If we go to Wendy's, I'll get him a double-meat hamburger," Leatherman said. "I tear off the bread and give it to him."
As close as man and dog are, they regularly endure prolonged separations. Leatherman is a missionary, who has spread the gospel in England, Germany, Argentina, South Korea, Cuba, Nepal, China and more. Feisty has a way to stay in touch across the long distances.
"My wife says that when I leave, he'll go into my closet and dig out my shoe just to have my scent," Leatherman said. "He'll sleep with it."
When a trip's over, Leatherman knows he's got a buddy who'll be thrilled to see him.
But the pair only have so many happy homecomings ahead of them. Fourteen is pretty old, even for a small dog.
"I know it's going to come because I've had a lot of dogs," he said. "Definitely, it will impact me emotionally. He isn't just a dog. He is a personal friend. I wake up every day knowing someone wants to be around me."
Leatherman said Feisty doesn't run and "jump, jump, jump" the way he once did. He's losing his hearing, and he's become an accomplished sleeper in his old age.
But the basics haven't changed.
"He's a good dog," Leatherman said.

Residential Faculty - Dance and Exercise Science
480-461-7551 (alternate)
Office: ES 9 - Room: 105
This program is part of the Exercise Science Department.
The roar of applause as you effortlessly glide across the stage. The bolt of exhilaration as an entire troupe moves in perfect synch under your command. The swell of pride as you watch your pupil's first recital. This is what it means to have a career in dance.
Dance is the art of human motion. It transforms images, ideas, and feelings into movement sequences that are personally and socially significant. Dance organizes body energy within space and time, and often draws upon the power of music, literature, drama, and the visual arts. It is a natural means of communication and expression that integrates movement, feeling, and intellect.
The Dance program at MCC offers a variety of fun, exciting, and challenging classes to suit every level of dancer -- from beginner to professional. You'll study the history of dance, gain valuable behind-the-scenes production skills, and master dance technique. Classes cover a variety of dance styles, from jazz to ballet to modern. A career in dance begins at MCC.
Statistics show that dance audiences are growing faster than any other art form. In fact, there are 10 times more dance companies today than in the 1970's, which means dance has never been more diverse, eclectic, challenging, and exciting.
As a dance graduate, you may find employment in a variety of areas, like dance productions, on cruise ships, or with professional dance companies. If you're looking to share your expertise, a career as a choreographer, dance teacher, or community program manager might be an ideal fit.

Jamie's "Grow Your Own Herbs"
Hi there,
I have a great garden, both vegies and herbs as well as some citrus trees which I am very proud of....
I saw the Jamie Oliver "Grow Your Own Herbs" late last year and was going to give them away as Christmas presents, but decided to grow them in my own kitchen. The parsley tub is doing beautifully well, however, much to my disappointment the chives tub is still well and truly empty. These are a great idea, however, they are a lot more expensive than buying seeds alone - naturally - and I had good faith that they would be fantastic (coming under the Jamie Oliver brand)...so I just need to let you know that I purchased a dud tub and am very disappointed.

Re: Jamie's "Grow Your Own Herbs"
It is such a pity you lost your chives Julylegs.
I am wondering if they rotted away, perhaps due to over watering, or if you are in part of the world where it is not spring yet, and so the little bulbs are waiting a little before they come up?
I hope that is so, and you might have a lovely surprise of little green shoots coming up in the pot very soon!

Many have blamed members of the real estate industry for helping bring about the 2008 financial crisis, but by no means have such companies attempted to rein in their political influence -- at least according to monetary contributions.
In the 2012 election cycle, the real estate industry contributed more than $153 million to candidates, committees and outside money groups -- its highest total ever. That mark followed a relatively quiet showing of $68.5 million in the 2010 midterm elections.
The industry has typically favored Republicans over their Democratic counterparts, although the split has been close since 1996, including a near 50-50 allocation in 2010.
But that changed in 2012, when Republicans received 66 percent of the cash, the biggest margin of victory for conservatives with this industry's money since the Center for Responsive Politics began collecting data in 1990. Much of the discrepancy was driven by donations to presidential candidates; Mitt Romney received $15.2 million from the industry, nearly three times the sum amassed by the eventually victorious Barack Obama.
By far the most active player in the industry is the National Association of Realtors, which spent $7.3 million in the 2012 cycle, slightly favoring Republican candidates and causes over Democratic ones. Crow Holdings was the next biggest spender, giving Republicans and outside spending groups $3.58 million.
NAR has advocated for expanding criteria to make it easier for qualified individuals to obtain credit, and it has argued that increasing lending will help stem the tide of homes being foreclosed. The trade association also hopes to leave unchanged current mortgage interest deduction policies that allow itemizing taxpayers to deduct interest on their mortgages, and it has pushed for other provisions friendly to real estate interests in tax reform efforts.
In 2012, real estate organizations collectively spent more than $80 million lobbying the federal government for the first time since 2008. The $81.5 million -- much of which went to lobbying on tax, housing, and finance issues -- was a $14.4 million increase from the 2011 total. The industry has historically been an active lobbying participant; between 1998 and 2013, only 12 industries have devoted more funds to influencing policy than the real estate industry's $1.021 billion.

Sensitivity loss, severe infections, and other frequent conditions seen in the lower extremities of diabetic patients lead to amputation and cause suffering, disability and death among this population. This problem has been neglected in the care provided at public healthcare units, reflecting its omission in norms and policies. Cases are diagnosed in late stages, thus demanding hospitalization and more resources. Most of these complications can be avoided with simple actions and early detection of warning signs. This project aims to increase health personnel´s capability to perform good screening and early care for diabetic feet, and to undertake effective education to strengthen selfcare.
This project is part of our BRIDGES Research Net programme. BRIDGES is an International Diabetes Federation programme supported by an educational grant from Lilly Diabetes.

Conclusion: The Oak Ridge Caper
Figuring I'd already invested so much time into killing D3, I stuck with him the final morning.
I slipped into the 40 under the cover of darkness, found a setup between the ridge and a small flat where D3 had been two days earlier, and then waited an hour for the show to begin.
When D3 gobbled -- surprise! -- he was in a tree he'd never used previously. Then he flew down with hens and started strutting and drumming. He actually answered my yelps twice that morning, and I had the safety off once. However, after an hour, he and his hens had somehow skirted around my setup and wandered off to the west. I'd been whipped again.
As I walked off the property, I silently hoped D3 had spawned many offspring. That way, I could at least have a chance of killing a 2-year-old at the 40 some day.
What decision did you make? Did you make the right call?

Personal attacks can be categorized as (but not limited to): Racist, Bigoted, Derogatory, Sexist, Hateful or Threatening.
- Language
Comments considered to be derogatory, disgusting, hateful or offensive are not permitted. There will be no swearing of any kind. Circumventing the profanity filter is also not permitted. Basically, use your head.
- User Names
Added: July 25, 2002 - Anyone user name that contains profane words will be deleted from the message board. Note that this is not a ban, as you can re-register using a different name. Added: January 23,2006Multiple active user names,however, are discouraged, and the staff reserves the right to delete or ban backup/secondary usernames. Note, if one username is banned, that does not give a member license to create a new one in order to circumvent a ban.If you are given a temporary ban, and create a new username in order to bypass the suspension, your suspension will be increased. If you continue to use a name that contains profanity or maybe harmful to children's eyes, you will be banned.... it's as simple as that.
- Signatures and Avatars
Amended: February 16, 2007 - Avatars and signatures should not have any type of nudity or be too risque', nor are they to contain violence. Avatars must fit in with the family-oriented nature of the community, with no profanity, vulgarity, obscenity, nudity or suggestion of nudity. Thus, there should be no pictures, as stated above, in one's avatar or signature. However, images such as stated in the above may be posted in The Ladies Lounge.
updated: September 30, 2009 - You are permitted one photo per signature. Please keep the dimensions within the 400x300 pixel range and below 40k in size for regular members and 800x600 pixal range and below 80k in size for VIP members. Exceptions can be made if a signature is wider than 400 pixels, but much shorter than 300 pixels in height (a banner for example). Not only does this make for a sleeker, less congested forum, but it also helps visitors who are limited to 56K dialup connections. Added: January 23, 2006 The use of quotes from other members in your signature in a derogatory or inflammatory manner is not allowed. This creates bad feelings among fellow members, and is considered a personal attack. Added:14 February 2006 - Politically oriented Sig and Avatars are not permitted. This tends to distract from discussions, much as a sexually explicit one would. Videos are not allowed in sigs.
- Off Topic
Added: May 01, 2002 - Please keep posts where they belong. If you wish to talk about politics for example, please post it in Political | War Forum. If you wish to talk about other NFL teams, post it in "General NFL." And, of course, if you wish to talk about YOUR MIAMI DOLPHINS, post it in the Miami Dolphins forum! If an Admin or Mod find that you have posted an off topic post, it will be moved to the appropriate forum.
- Private Conversation
Added: August 23, 2004 - If you talk to another member via email/IM/PM then please do not post that message. The conversation between the two of you is PRIVATE and not for the other 10,000+ people to read.
- Quoted Text
Added: September 13, 2004 - You may not alter someone else's words and use it as quoted text. Previously, this had long been an "unwritten rule" followed by all. But it now must be added.
- "Breaking News"
Added: August 12, 2004 - The thread title "Breaking News" is only to be used when actual, bigtime news is breaking. This is a rule we take very seriously. While this is an internet message board, many Dolphin fans come here for their Dolphin-related news. And few if any of them appreciate being "taken". There are some things we hold sacred. This is one of them.
This rule also prohibits the intentional posting of sensational news that is known to be false.
- Posting Articles
Added: May 30, 2002 - Please do not post an entire article. Instead, post the first three or so sentences, and then include a link to that article. The reason is simply due of copyright issues. And I for one do not want to have The Sun-Sentinel coming after me in a lawsuit.
- Links to Other Sites/Content
Edited on October 19, 2006 - Please feel free to share valuable content and photos with other Miami Dolphin fans. If there's a commentary article or news item that you want to share with our members, then post it to encourage discussion - that's what forums are all about after all. However, please do not post links with no real intended purpose and/or don't have any "value" to Miami Dolphin fans. Don't post some random website address because you're feeling like it. Lastly, as with a post, if the website content isn't related to the Miami Dolphins, please post it in the appropriate forum. In other words...please don't promote a competing fan site unless you are promoting a specific article on that site
- Moderation
Moderators and Administrators reserve the right to edit or delete your thread or post without consulting you first. Moderators and Super Moderators also have the right to act without consulting an Administrator first.
However, if you find that a Moderator continually does this for no apparent reason, please email an Administrator.
- Annoyance
Individuals who detract from the site through ongoing incivility, immaturity, and/or disrespect for the contributions and responsibilities of others may be afforded maximal opportunities to spend their time elsewhere.

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
lunch carp
Thanks, I like sites like this because it concentrates people with the same madness that I have.
Keep trying those same fish. I have found that one of the best tricks is just keeping at it. Some days they will almost fight over the right fly, other days you just get to look at them as they zoom away.
I tend to tie in some bead chain eyes or even dumbell eyes so the fly has some weight and drops hook up.
Good luck, let me know how it goes. I have a killer pattern right now that has taken a dozen fish in the past couple of weeks.
|John Desjardins
Funny that this thread should resurface today. At lunch I checked this pond again and found that the recent rains made the pond level rise to where I could cast at feeding fish. It would have been my first legitimate shot at them since the first post. Then the ducks swam onto the flat and dispersed the carp while I rigged up.
Tony welcome to the forum and thankyou for the tips.
Lunch time carp, late for work
This looks like an old post but I had to respond. I too spend a lot of time fly fishing for carp at lunch, on the way home from work and after my son goes to bed. It is hard to ignore 20-30 inch fish that are difficult to catch.
I just got back from getting snubbed by a dozen carp in the creek that is my current honey hole. "just one more cast" made me 20 minutes late getting back to the office. I have caught fish in that spot up to 22 inches in the recent past but they are on to me now and I have gotten refusals and spooked fish the last couple of times.
Bonefish style flies work great, wooly buggers are a good choice and depending on the season there are usually some veggie flies that work (cottonwood seed or elm seeds are two favorites of mine)
To any that have ingored this supreme urban fly fishing opportunity, put your prejudice aside and start getting skunked. Carp are difficult to catch but if you stick to it the rewards are great. They are beautiful fish too.
Oh, the person who mentioned getting showered in mud trying to land a big carp... exactly right, I have showed up to my son's daycare stinking of pond scum and covered in mud. It is hard to hide clandestine fishing in that case.
|Better story than what I did for lunch today
Way to go John! At least you had the excitement of getting the fish to actually hit the fly, and that's half the battle. Besides, if the line didn't break you probably would have been late getting back to work and you'd have been covered with mud from trying to land and release the fish
|John Desjardins
Lunch time carping
I have a pond near my office that frustrates me to no end. Regularly I see carp that are > 2' long there. The locations where I see the fish, and can cast, though are not where they feed. I've found the feeding areas and normally they are unfishable with a flyrod unless one is prepared to wade through mudbar made of contaminated sediment. For a couple of years the sight of those fish so close yet uncatchable has been a source of frustration.
Today was the exception to the rule. The recent rains have raised the water level so that the carp are able to swim over the mudbar into the inlet of the pond. When I checked there at lunchtime today I saw this and the carp feeding on the vegetation/scum floating in an eddy.
After a quick run to the car to get the rod I started to attempt to entice a carp feeding on the surface scum using an olive wooly bugger that was already on the line. There was no way to figure out where their lips would appear through the scum so this was not successfull. Then a carp moved into a position ~ 5 feet away from me and started feeding on the bottom. Pulling in the line until only a couple of feet of line extended beyon the tip I dropped the fly in front of it and then gave it a couple of bounces when the fish hit. I put pressure on as he took off and my frustration continued as a bad knot broke. No other fish were interested after that.

Mobile Farmers' Market to Bring Healthy Food Choices to Different Parts of Merced County
If you look out your window and happen to see a bright green semi-truck painted with happy fruit, vegetables and a grinning cow drive by, no, you are not seeing things!
Just put on your jacket and get ready for your weekly visit from the Mobile Farmers' Market, which will be coming soon to your neighborhood to bring you fresh fruit, vegetables and dairy products.
The Mobile Farmers' Market has been created by a new 501 (c) (3) organization, Make Someone Happy, to help address the severe problems of obesity among Merced County residents. With approximately one-third of all adults in Merced County and their children facing high rates of obesity, they are also at an extremely high risk for developing life-threatening chronic diseases associated with an unhealthy lifestyle, including diabetes, coronary heart disease and colorectal cancer.
Million Dollar Conversations
Margo Souza joins four other distinguished women business leaders in writing an uplifting and encouraging book, now available direct from MooMilk.com.
Most women never plan to own a business or even consider business ownership as a career option. In fact, over 30 percent started a business due to some traumatic event, such as divorce, discrimination due to pregnancy or the corporate glass ceiling, the health of a family member, or economic reasons such as a layoff. Most women business owners do not have business degrees and most were never exposed in college to business ownership as a career option. You will see when you read the book that most of these business owners didn't start out being business owners; they became business owners by circumstance.

William Isbell named SUNY Distinguished Professor
The State University of New York Board of Trustees has promoted Binghamton University archaeologist William H. Isbell to the rank of distinguished professor.
Very few people attain the rank of distinguished professor, awarded to individuals who have achieved national or international prominence and a distinguished reputation in their field.
Isbell's primary interests lie in the origins of political centralization, urbanism and governments. He has done fieldwork in Peru and Bolivia throughout his 35-year career.
Isbell, who holds a bachelor's degree from San Francisco State University, earned his doctorate in anthropology from the University of Illinois in 1973.
Isbell's most recent project, a five-year excavation at Conchopata – a small city that's being destroyed as a modern Peruvian city expands – has been funded by the National Geographic Society, the National Science Foundation and several private foundations. Much of the city, which was occupied primarily from 500-1000 AD, has already been destroyed. Isbell and his colleagues have focused on what remains, doing a more thorough excavation than is usually possible with a larger site.
Isbell is also the author of two books – Mummies and Mortuary Monuments: A Postprocessual Prehistory of Andean Social Organization and The Rural Foundation for Urbanism: Economic and Stylistic Interaction between Rural and Urban Communities in Eighth Century Peru – and editor of six others. He has published dozens of journal articles and book chapters.
He has twice received Fulbright grants to study and work in Peru and has held two postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard University's Dumbarton Oaks.
Isbell, a former chairman of the Anthropology Department, was faculty master of College-in-the-Woods from 1987-1990. He and his wife live in Binghamton.

3950 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV, 89119
Location: Strip
Type: Aquarium / Zoo, Family Friendly
A trip to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay takes guests on a 14-exhibit journey through a jungle environment into a sunken shipwreck where they will see 2,000 animals, including some of the most dangerous predators in the world. Accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association, the Shark Reef offers a pre-taped tour and has naturalists positioned throughout the exhibit to answer questions.
Some may be surprised to find that the sharks at the Shark Reef -- including a Sandbar shark, a Sandtiger shark and three Sawfish sharks -- are actually not the most dangerous creatures on display there. The title actually goes to the Shark Reef's newest addition, an eight-foot-long Komodo dragon from Indonesia, followed at a close second by the crocodiles.
Contrary to popular belief brought on by movies like "Jaws," sharks have a very slow metabolism and are not relentless eating machines.
"They can eat a reasonable meal every other day and not be hungry, at least hungry enough not to eat their friends," said Brian Robinson, director of the Shark Reef.
"When people see them swimming around in our exhibit and that there's no aggression, I think they start to realize the beauty of the animals. They have existed for millions of years and have survived because they are very intelligent animals, not because they are going around eating everything they can get their hands on ... well, their fins on, actually."
Another Shark Reef surprise is the timidity factor of piranhas.
"Often you will hear that a piranha will strip your hand of flesh in a matter of seconds if you stick it in the water, but that's not in case," said Robinson. "They're actually very timid animals. When a piranha feeding frenzy occurs it is because there is the smell of blood in the water. If you're not bleeding and you stick your hand in there, they're actually more afraid of you than you are of them."
Overall, keeping the animals' aggression low involves careful planning and dedicated care.
"You have to plan your collection so that the animals that you are specifying for an exhibit are known are to live in some form of harmony in their natural state," said Robinson. "Then it's the goal of aquarists who take care of the animals to keep them comfortably fed."
A staff of 82 operates the Shark Reef on both the animal care and operations side. Each exhibit has a separate filtration system and divers can be found at all times throughout the exhibits scrubbing corals and cleaning algae. One staff member prepares 2,000 meals a day, including a wide variety of foods like chicken, lettuce, nuts, berries, mackerel, jumbo prawn and specialty gels and cakes infused with proteins.
Another unique feature of the Shark Reef is a touch pool, where guests can pet a variety of fish and rays. The fish are rotated in and out of the touch pool to reduce the amounts of stress generated by the activity.
"If the fish get tired of people sticking their hands into the water they'll swim out into the center and rest," Robinson said. "Then after awhile, they'll come back out and let people start touching them again. They balance themselves and we of course monitor them."
In general, animals at the Shark Reef will tell you when they're stressed, Robinson said. Their color or their behavior will change and trained aquarists will pick up on it.
"There are extensive veterinary measures we go to -- we weigh and measure the animals, we control their food intake -- just to keep them at the pinnacle of health," said Robinson. "We've had many people come through the aquarium from other facilities comment on the appearance of the animals, the color of the animals, and how healthy they look."

Perl Meeting
I had a Perl Meeting yesterday. It was raining on the way to the bus stop, but from the bus stop next to Dapey Zahav until then, it wasn't raining, so I was lucky because it is a long walk. I met Shlomo Yona at the hall, and we talked a bit. Then other guys came. Kfir Lavi brought a digital camera and took a few pictures throughout the meeting.
Before the lectures, we chatted about various topics. We talked about processor speeds (Pentium 4's vs. UltraSPARCs), form process handling (WWW::Form and friends), whether to use my meta-data database access or Tangram, DBIx::DWIW, the August Penguin conferences, and other things. It was very fun. I went to buy two bottles of mineral water, because I saw that we were going to run out of them in the fountain. (they don't seem to keep a spare container there for some reason). Afterwards, Ran Eilam and I went to buy some pastries to eat, which were eaten like crazy.
Gabor could not come for the second time in a row, and his presence was once again missed. Some people paid entrance fee to the YAPC::Israel::2004 conference, to the other organizers.
Then the lectures started. Shlomo Yona gave a very nice presentation about edit distance. I recall needing to do this algorithm in one of my Algorithmics courses, so this was a nice comeback. What I did learn there was that related algorithms like this are a field of very active research and that they are very useful.
Afterwards, Ran Eilam gave the second part of his presentation about Extreme Programming. It was very insightful and entertaining as well, with various interesting ideas and techniques for better software management. Like the "Dukes and Engineers" game. Or cards to write the names of classes in the program as you come with them, instead of UML. And naturally, the usual depreciation of the Gantt chart. He explained why "pay-per-project" outsourcing and especially off-shore outsourcing cannot work. Someone told there that an outsourcing project that costed twice as much and had half the requested feature-set was declared a success, because most projects don't do that well.
Afterwards the guys went to hang in a pub, but I picked a ride home with someone who drove northwards as I was quite tired.
I ended up switching to gvim for my Hebrew LaTeX needs. he2 sucks pretty badly as an editor, and gvim is naturally much better. Now I'm using F9 to toggle the direction leftwards and rightwards and it is much more convenient. And I have all my favourite gvim features.
Did some work on my yet-to-be-reviewed/yet-to-be-published philosophical essay. But more importantly, it seems that the development on WWW::Form is really going to take off. Its Wiki is being filled up, its author sent me the password he wants for the Subversion repository. I'm still waiting for the code to be imported there, but it may take a while, because the author has a job and is quite busy. Still, I was able to talk with him on ICQ and AIM, and so I have a way to reach him in which he is very responsive.
I upgraded my system to kernel 2.6.0. One thing I notice is that the first instance of gvim (running above KDE) takes much less time to load.
Mailing Lists Threads of Interest
Here's a thread I started about the NVidia drivers. The problem I mention there may be better now that I upgraded to kernel 2.6.0. In any case, here's my conclusion of the thread.
I joined the linux-elitists mailing list and witnessed a large and lively GNOME-related discussion. I introduced myself which sparked a lot of discussion about BASIC. I always thought the WHILE...WEND loop was present in most BASIC interpreters, but it only got introduced later on in the PC revolution.
Then, I joined in the GNOME discussion with some rants about GNOME's lack of similarity to what I was used to. Just read it to find what a GNOME developer answered, but I was not satisfied by it. (I still find its behaviour annoying)
Finished reading Extending and Embedding Perl. The book was written professionally but pretty boring. Here's my review of it.
I also read more chapters out of "Perl & XML". This book is very short, but also very interesting, so I think I'm going to finish it soon. Then, I'll have to find something else to read, and I did not take any books out of the Perl library. (due to the fact that no one brought the requested books from Gabor's house)

Pantothenic acid and biotin are types of B vitamins. They are water-soluble, which means that the body can't store them. If the body can't use all of the vitamin, the extra leaves the body through the urine. These vitamins must be replaced in the body every day.
Pantothenic acid; Pantethine; Vitamin B5
Pantothenic acid and biotin are essential for growth. They help the body break down and use food. This is called metabolism.
Pantothenic acid also plays a role in the production of hormones and cholesterol.
Biotin is found in foods that are good sources of B vitamins, including:
Pantothenic acid is found in foods that are good sources of B vitamins, including the following:
There are no known deficiencies of either pantothenic acid or biotin.
Large doses of pantothenic acid do not cause symptoms, other than (possibly) diarrhea. There are no known toxic symptoms from biotin.
Reference Intakes
Recommendations for pantothenic acid and biotin, as well as other nutrients, are provided in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) developed by the Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine. DRI is a term for a set of reference intakes that are used to plan and assess the nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values, which vary by age and gender, include:
Dietary Reference INtakes for pantothenic acid:
*Adequate Intake (AI)
The best way to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods.
Specific recommendations depend on age, gender, and other factors (such as pregnancy). Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding need higher amounts. Ask your health care provider which amount is best for you.
