Family: Betulaceae, Birch view all from this family
Description A deciduous tree native to North America, it ranges from southeastern Ontario east to Nova Scotia, and south to Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with disjunct populations in Indiana, Virginia, and North Carolina. It prefers poor, dry upland soils, but is also found in moist mixed woodlands. Short-lived, it is a common pioneer species on abandoned fields and burned areas.
Gray birch grows quickly to 7 to 9 m tall and 0.3 m trunk diameter, with an irregular open crown of slender branches. The tree often has multiple trunks branching off of an old stump. The leaves are 5-7.5 cm long by 4-6 cm wide, alternately arranged, ovate, and tapering to an elongated tip. They are dark green and glabrous above and paler below, with a coarsely serrated margin. The bark is chalky to grayish white with black triangular patches where branch meets trunk. It is smooth and thin but does not readily exfoliate. The flowers are wind-pollinated catkins 5-8 cm long, the male catkins pendulous and the female catkins erect. The fruit, maturing in autumn, is composed of many tiny winged seeds packed between the catkin bracts.
Like other North American birches, gray birch is highly resistant to the Bronze birch borer (Agrilus anxius). The leaves of the Gray Birch serve as food for various Lepidoptera. The wood is medium hard and is used for high grade plywood, furniture, drum shells, spools and firewood.
Habitat Canyons & valleys, Fields, Mountains.
Range Southeast, Eastern Canada, Mid-Atlantic, New England, Great Lakes.
Comments Very short-lived, weak tree. Do not prune until summer when the sap has stopped flowing. Does not tolerate high pH or competition from other trees.
Exposure Preference Sun.
Native Distribution Maritime provinces to New Jersey & Virginia, scattered w. to n.e. Illinois
Site Preference Wet to dry woods; lake margins; old fields
Soil Preference Wet to dry, poor soils
Wildlife Value Songbirds, ground birds and mammals

Give ho-hum pork chops exciting new flavor in just 10 minutes prep time. Hoisin sauce, ginger and honey make a winning Asian-influenced combo.
Turn the pork chops frequently with tongs instead of a fork so you don't pierce the meat during cooking and release the tasty juices.
Play into the Asian theme with fried rice, sliced fresh tomatoes and egg rolls from the deli or frozen-foods section of your supermarket.
Hoisin is a blend of soybeans, garlic, chilies and spices; a thick, reddish-brown spicy-sweet sauce often used in Chinese cooking. Look for it in the grocery store's ethnic-foods section.

Open Cart Expert needed ! Turn OPENCART into a package receiving and re-shipment platform. Custom Extension wanted immediately.

Project Budget$750 - $1500 USD
Total Bids49
Project Description
Hello Freelancers,
I am searching for an Opencart expert that can build an Extension that will help me to run my freight forwarding business more efficiently.
Opencart = ( [url removed, login to view] )
First, here is some background information about me ...
I operate a freight forwarding business based in Miami, Florida ( USA ).
This is how I operate ...
1. I receive customer cargo at my warehouse.
2. I arrange for shipment to an international destination using an appropriate shipping company.
3. I forward all shipping documentation to my customer so that they can prepare for receipt of their cargo.
Up until this point, I've mainly dealt with businesses, and the process involves much time consuming physical paperwork.
I now want to automate/streamline this process and offer my services to private individuals located all over the world.
Here is a "basic" outline of how the cargo receiving/reshipping process would work ...
1. Client registers an account at my website and is provided a "virtual address with a suite number" at my warehouse.
2. Client ships their cargo to their virtual address ( At my warehouse ).
3. When I receive my client's cargo, all related information ( weight, dimensions, photographs, scanned documentation, tracking numbers ) should be entered into the system.
4. Client is given a choice of shipping couriers and pricing based on the actual weights/dimensions of their cargo. Or they can hold the cargo for consolidation with future shipments.
5. Client pays for shipping and any related fees ( Credit Card / PayPal / Wire Transfer / Deposit Account ) and I actually ship my client's cargo based on their preference. All related shipping info should be entered into the system ( tracking numbers / scanned documentation )
*Email notifications should be sent to client at ever step to make sure that they are always notified.
Here are websites for existing companies that you can review which will give you a better idea of my goal:

Welcome to the brand new two DVD set from James Brown and rsvpmagic. Join James and his camera crew as they perform six superb routines in a live bar environment.
Along the way watch as James takes people back in time, see chosen cards repeatedly appear inside and under card cases, imagine that the deck they are holding is now completely transparent and even make them forget their own memories! This is reputation making magic and you'll see just how great it really is by the reactions they get! After the performances, stay after hours and join James and Ravi Meyer as they discuss every routine in intricate detail.
These DVDs are without doubt some of the finest that we at rsvpmagic have produced. Every routine is a usable piece for every working magician and best of all is that you only need to supply a deck of cards!
Volume 1:
A freely chosen card, which can be signed, vanishes from the deck multiple times, appearing under the card case, inside the card case and finally the entire deck jumps into the case! ALL DONE WHILST THE SPECTATOR IS HOLDING THE CARD CASE!
Two cards are cleanly shown and placed onto the spectators hands. AFTER this a card is freely chosen and almost instantly vanishes from the entire deck and appears BETWEEN the two they are holding! Superb stuff.
A card is chosen and SIGNED. The spectator is now given the deck to hold and told to imagine that the entire deck has suddenly become transparent and that the only card they can see, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DECK is their card! A fantasic pseudo hypnosis routine.
Three selected cards appear sandwiched, one at a time, between two court cards under impossible conditions!
Two thought of cards are devined under impossible conditions. James now takes the audience back in time showing that one card placed in his pocket at the start of the routine is one of the selections!
The spectator choses a card and is then made to lose all memory of it! This is then followed by an impossible mind read by the magician. Strong and reputation making magic!
Learn just what it means to be a "Professional Opportunist". Join James and Ravi for a bonus section in which they discuss how to make the most of your environments when performing magic.
James and Ravi discuss and explain just how to attain perfect audience management from your spectators at all times. Using a mixture of magicial techniques and body movements, you'll learn just how to make these techniques work for you too.
Running Time Approximately 1hr 52min
Volume 2:
The deck is shuffled face up into face down and the spectator THINKS of one card. The whole deck now turns face down except for their selection!
A card is selected and placed onto the spectator's hand. Suddenly their hands are now stuck together and slowly heat up. When they open their palms, the selected card is now seen to have a burn mark on it. A superb update on the old ash trick.
Three cards are freely selected by three people. The cards are dealt onto the table for the spectators to slam their hands onto their cards when they see them. All spectators chose the same card! This card (signed) instantly vanishes and appears on the ceiling above them... Stunning magic!!!
A chosen card appears UNDER the spectators hand!
A card is selected and shuffled into the deck. The cards are shown face up by the magician and cut into two piles. Amazingly, they have now seperated into Reds and Blacks and their card is now in the pile they freely choose as the only card of that color in the spread! PERFORMANCE ONLY - JAMES BROWN'S TAKE ON KOSTYA KIMLAT'S "UNSHUFFLING THE COLORS" FROM "ROADRUNNER CULL' DVD
Watch James use some of the magic explained on Volume 1 to induce a hypnotic state. Features a brilliant version of 'Cerebral Steal' using a thought of word. Great stuff!
Card under watch goes to another level! The spectator freely THINKS of any card which instantly appears UNDER THEIR WATCH. Simple, clean and direct as it reads... SUPERB!
Running Time Approximately 1hr 27min

All Day
Every day until Monday, July 16th, 2012.
The exhibition will contain works by painters who, while not explicitly subscribing to the new style, were nevertheless crucial masters for the younger generations: men such as Winslow Homer, William Morris Hunt, John La Farge and Thomas Eakins. These will be followed by the great forerunners, artists such as John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt and James Abbott McNeill Whistler, who could boast of strong cosmopolitan leanings.
The main part of the exhibition will comprise works by artists of remarkable quality who spent time in Florence and who deserve to be better known. Their number includes members of the American impressionist group known as the Ten American Painters: William Merrit Chase, John Henry Twachman and Frederick Childe Hassam. Franck Duveneck also played an important role in fostering relations between American and local artists by putting together the "Duveneck boys", a group that included his wife Elisabeth Boott and the painter Joseph Rodefer De Camp.
Tickets can be purchased online, price: euro 12.00 per person

It's strange, but I can't remember when I last filled up. My gas is lasting all of the sudden - of course it's once the price got lowered.

[FONT=Courier New]Other than driving to and from work, I have only been sporadically going out on the weekends for toy hunting and when I do, it's usually just 1-2 places that are closely grouped together.[/FONT]

I am very proud to say that I have not bought a single gallon of gas anywhere in over a year and a half. Not like I have a choice though.
Gas prices in Guam are still rather high. They were $3.89 out in town and $3.19 on base.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
Good questiosn for everyone. Modifying driving habits here (like only driving 1-2 times a week). Grouping things, going the farthest first, than closing back in.
Until my knee got clipped and tore out everything in it again, I was biking to the local places or swinging by on a long bike ride to get a drink of water/use the bathroom. The walk to the toy aisle and out the store if nothing probably saved me from some leg cramps.
Even pre-injury was riding the bike to the grocery store if just getting bread or a head of lettuce.
Totally unrelated, but found this on the price of gasoline.

Wow, you guys should be getting it cheaper than most with all the ethanol you grow. Some cities like mine have it added in the winter months to keep lingering emissions down.
I paid $2.55 the other day for premium. Thought I would give my motor a little treat that day.
"Ohh, maxi big da fish! Well dat smells stinkowiff"
"No time to discuss this as a supercommittee.... I am not a supercommittee!"
Now I do have to drive round-trips to and from dialysis, 3 days a week, plus there's doctor visits on some of the off-days as well. That has actually increased my driving since I started dialysis. Before, I had even less energy, so I was REALLY staying at home.
With dialysis, I started having to refill my tank (20 gallons, premium) maybe 3 times a month, up to 4 sometimes). Prior to that, I got by on 1 fill-up per month. But way before that, and before I had a debillitating brain aneurysm, I probably filled up maybe even 5 times in a month.
I also drove around a lot in search of Star Wars toys (or made "usual rounds" to 1 type of each chain store (Wal-Mart, Target, Toys R Us). I didn't want to waste my days driving around and "hunting" all day long. If I stuck to the same stores, I'd eventually be the first regular there to get the new stock when it finally came in.
Since there really has been NO (ZERO) Star Wars shopping going on this whole year (save for July 26 when I bought almost everything), I'm not dealing with that. (Also with my illness, if I can purchase stuff online, it's more convenient to just have it shipped to me).
Meanwhile, I try my best to combine trips when I make them:
bank, pet food store, pharmacy, and grocery store can all be found in the same shopping center - and there's a Starbucks and UPS store there, too. Kinko's / FedEx is right across the street.
Target, Panda Express, BestBuy, the Post Office, and my comic book store are all by each other, and SubWay is another dining option. If I'm feeling like a nicer dinner, some better sit-down restaurants are on the same route.
Anyway, I'll make one trip out with as many of these destinations visited as necessary, and then when I return home, I often have to get back into bed.
Since these are probably all less than 5 mile drives for me - A LOT LESS than 5 miles, my tank can last for a while. Dialysis might be a 15 mile drive (30 miles round trip), so with a 20 gallon tank and stretching the truth to say I get 15 miles to a gallon, 10 round trips to dialysis brings me to 3 tank refills a month. When it was up to $5 a gallon, that was $300 a month in gas. As I mentioned, I think I just am getting to the point of needing my first refill this month, so I'll have to see what the new gas budget will look like.
Having adapted and / or gotten accustomed to my new driving pattern - in part because of my illness - I think I will just save money and not revert to diriving more again. I am in California though, so I think I'll throw in maybe one more trip or two to the beach or the waterfront downtown, here or there if it's more affordable. But as I stated, I like being close to home and my bed.
I noticed that Costco was $2.59 one day, went back two days later and it had dropped to $2.43 (I filled up... just 5-6 gals.). I have always tried to fit my errands in an orderly fashion, but I will admit I stay in more and go out less lately.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Finally below 2 dollars a gallon

$2.59 last time I filled up. I don't get this, we have a bunch of major refineries here, transportation should be very cheap to get it to LA-area stations, yet we're the most expensive. I guess it's speculative, assuming that SoCalerinos will drive more. Stupid speculative markets.

I wandered over to the National Finals for the Dock diving dogs and it sure looked like a heckofa lot of fun. My colleague at work has a little toller that jumps (I'm not making this up) 22 feet. It is spooky and almost physiologically impossible. The BIG dogs (pit bulls, labs) jumped 21 feet to win their division.
Watching it is contagious and I couldn't help wonder how my dog would do. But, their method doesn't seem compatible for a hunting retriever. The dog sits (creeps) 20 feet back from the edge and at a signal, as he races past them, the owners toss their toy into the tank. It looks to me like it would teach my dog to break or otherwise mess with her line manners.
Are there any folks that do both HT's and DD?

Rotomolding can learn from Cirque du SoleilComments Email Print
LYON, FRANCE (Oct. 5, 10:10 a.m. ET) — Roll up, roll up, rotational molding is the greatest show on earth. Or so it could be, according to Reading, Pa.-based consultant Paul Nugent.
Addressing the delegates at this week's Alliance of Rotational Moulding Organisations (Armo) 2012 conference in Lyon, Nugent said that rotational molders "have some fantastic products, but sometimes don't represent ourselves very well."
In his address, titled "Rotomoulding Fantastique", Nugent said: "We have an image problem. The typical products you see are simple products: tubs, barrels." He concedes that simple parts, executed well are okay, but that the industry needs an injection of pizzazz.
"Cirque du Soleil are so overwhelming and immersive," Nugent said. "Is it a traditional circus? Yes and no. The skills and acts are the same as the traditional circuses I saw as a child.
"Cirque du Soleil perform the same basic acts presented superbly well. They present them in a superb fashion. We have to change the way we present ourselves."
Nugent listed rotomolding products that had the requisite "wow" factor. He cited Yeti Coolers — who had taken a traditional rotomolding product and come to dominate the U.S. market by presenting a rugged, outdoors image — and Meese Orbitron Dunne, which had reinvented the laundry cart.
Though it is not all about image, he suggested: "Execution is just as important, so we need to focus on technique. Rotomolding is a fairly basic process. It's perfect for a lot of applications, for entrepreneurs, for low volume production.
"But what about high volume, high tech? What do we need? We need process control on every part. As an industry we're not as sophisticated as injection molding. We need improved mold quality.
"We need an improvement in cycle times…but there's a physical limit to how fast you can heat polymers…we need better overall throughput."
As if to reinforce this circus theme, guests at the conference's gala supper on Monday night were treated to a dinner show of circus performers dressed in the fashions of the Bourbon court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette while stilt-walking, juggling and performing acrobatics.

Diameter: 0.8-1.2 m. (2 1/2 -4 ft.).
Habitat Cities, suburbs & towns, Mountains.
Range California, Northwest.
Discussion First discovered near Port Orford in Oregon and introduced into cultivation in 1854, by collectors working for the Lawson & Son nursery in Edinburgh, Scotland, after whom it was named as Lawson's Cypress. The USDA officially calls it by the name Port Orford Cedar, but as it is not a cedar, many botanists prefer to avoid the name, using Lawson's Cypress, or Port Orford Cypress to stop confusion. The horticultural industry, in which the species is very important, mostly uses the name Lawson's Cypress.
Fine texture, straight grain, and pleasant, sweet-spicy scent, with durability to weather, rot, insects and decay-resistance. Strongest of all the cedar products it has been the preferred wood for japanese architecture, building boats, railroad ties and fence posts. Heartwood has an in-ground life of 20-25 years.

Mavic Yksion Pro Griplink SSC Tubular Tire - $99.95
If you've been fortunate enough to get your hands on a set of 2013 Mavic SSC-designated wheels, then you might be surprised to learn that Mavic developed your wheels to work in conjunction with its new line of tires. That's right, this year brings the advent of Mavic's front- and rear-specific line of Yksion Pro Tubular Tires. And featured here is the front-specific part of the line, the Yksion Pro Griplink SSC Tubular Tire. And while its SSC designation only equates to a corresponding red label with your SSC-designated front wheel, you can't put a price on streamlined aesthetics. Mavic gave this tire a 210TPI nylon casing, meaning that the sidewalls are comprised of 210 threads of nylon per inch. And if you're wondering why there are 'threads,' this is because the Yksion Pro is what's referred to as a poly-cotton tire. This method of casing provides the ideal stiffness-to-weight ratio. By this, we mean that the tire's weight hovers around 230 grams, while still retaining a perfect level of flexibility for cornering. Along these lines, you'll notice that the casing's relatively high TPI equates to fine-grade nylon fibers used in its composition. Accordingly, the fine fibers are quite malleable, and this flexibility creates a more adaptable interface for the tire's rubber contact surface during cornering. So, this design provides a higher level of grip than the standard rubber. Additionally, the weave's density also absorbs a great deal of impact, while also contributing to a low-level of rolling resistance. This equates directly to both comfort and speed. Now, while the aforementioned translates to strength and speed, you're probably still wondering, what makes a tire 'front-specific'' Well, simply put, the Griplink features a different rubber compound and tread pattern than the rear Powerlink tire. - $99.95

I THOUGHT to head this, "A Letter to the People," but you are not people. You usurp their name; you represent yourselves as acting on their behalf; but they disown you and fear you. They look with alarm on your tumultuous gatherings. They stand on the defensive against your attacks. They distrust you. They know you to be sections, more or less dangerous, of disturbers of the public peace.
"By obedience," says good old Jeremy Taylor, "we are distinguished from herds of beasts and heaps of flies, who do what they list, and are incapable of laws, and obey none." So convinced are the majority of your countrymen of the truth of this axiom—so persuaded that the throne of true liberty stands on that boundary line where due obedience is met by just protection, that they dread the very sound of your riotous assembling; your tread seems to shake the foundation of every man's home as you pass! page: 4 And it is so. But this you do not believe: you are led by men in whose minds the instinct of restiveness has been awakened by late events abroad, as some horses become unmanageable when others gallop rapidly by them. You are so transformed into monkeys and parrots, that you raise the banner and shout the motto of a foreign people in our streets, as if you had no country and no language of your own. You are so drunk with the spirit of revolt as to think it admirable that Irish delegates should cross the sea to whine and crouch, like beaten hounds, at the feet of a foreign Government, declaring themselves slaves, and supplicating aid to enable them to raise the standard of rebellion at home. You speak of kings and rulers as if they were all so many Belshazzars, who, in the hour of their feasting, had seen the hand come out and write on the wall that their kingdoms had departed from them. You are full of vague hopes and expectations. In the general scramble for concessions now going on all over Europe, surely something can be granted or seized for you! What?—that is the question. What do you want? "We want Repeal," say the Irish. "We want the Charter," say the Chartists. "We want Liberty! Equality! Fraternity!" say the mob. These are dazzling words—dazzling especially to poor men—to those classes who labour always, struggle often, and seldom enjoy. Will you test their translation among the people we import them from? Can you read it in the banishment of our workpeople, driven destitute from their shores, page: 5 to the embarrassment of the employers, the ruin of the employed?—in the election proclamations of Ledru‐Rollin, where the shadow of the blind giant Despotism already darkens the path so lately levelled for Freedom?—in the fierce attempts to smother the voice of the one courageous journalist who spoke of the errors of the new Government?—in the interference with the possession of all property, and the profits of all trade?
In no spirit of rebuke, but with earnest sympathy, I say to you—Beware of these cries. "The earth hath bubbles, as the water has, And these are of them." The Chartist dream of equality is the most cruel of all the temptations with which mob‐traps are baited; for it is at once the most specious and the most false. There can be no equality, any more than there can be a sea without a shore! Superiority is not a thing of man's devising, but of God's appointing. Gradation is His law. Let any honest, intelligent man examine, or stand by while others examine, a class at one of the national schools. He will there see "the common brotherhood of man" as God ordained it. He will see, ranged side by side, the weak and the strong, the teachable and the stubborn, hopeless stupidity and wonderful clearness of intellect; and the conviction of the consequent future inequality of their positions in life will be a self‐evident proposition in his mind. The only verification that exists of the fabled phœnix is the necessity of rulers. From the ashes of that page: 6 nondescript thing called "Government" for ever rises the living principle, if not the bodily copy, of the past. From the fragments and dust of broken thrones, or desecrated scaffolds, it shapes itself anew; an emblem of the great fact necessary for the constitution of human society. Call it King, Emperor, Dictator, President—or, by a noun of multitude, the National Assembly, the Sovereign People—call it what you will, it is there—the evidence that equality cannot subsist, is not expected to subsist; that the mass must be governed; that a change of governors is all that the most complete revolution can achieve. Is it not, then, a melancholy thing to see the perverted submission with which men who disdain to be subjects to law are content to be slaves to faction—men who raise an outcry against the control of a class, and will yet be led to destruction by an individual? If I could preach to the people one text, brief as their respite from toil, and simple as their needs, it would be this:—"Fear your governments less and your leaders more." Beware that your so‐called leaders be not mis‐leaders. Do not be made blind sacrifices to one man's vanity, another man's anger, or the ambition of a third. When Coriolanus led the Volscians, he led them not for their advantage, but to avenge the wrongs he himself had suffered. Gray, in his perfect Elegy, has made touching allusions to "village Hampdens." We have the converse of the image in many a Brummagem Coriolanus! In a celebrated work on the art and strategy of war, page: 7 while giving directions for sieges, &c., the expression perpetually occurs, "If you can afford to expend men" (that is, if the loss of a few hundred lives will not cripple your power to work out future plans) "take the town or fort thus," &c. The Brummagem Coriolanus can afford to expend men ad libitum. He is not called upon to endure in the aggregate those several terms of imprisonment allotted to such of his followers as are snatched, at hazard, by the police from the throngs of a turbulent mob. No income‐tax, or absentee‐tax, can be deducted from his means to support the families of men whom his oratory has sent to the gaol or the hospital. Character, liberty, earnings, and savings, may have been "expended," but in vain! Men may be paid meanly,—God knows, often too meanly,—for hard labour; but rioting is the one employment for which no wages can be had; for the capital expended in which there is no return! I write this, not because I do not sympathize with the people, but for love of them. To remind them that to overshoot a mark is as fruitless an aim as to come short of it; that to revolt is to overshoot the mark of reform. I write, not to check their advance, but in dread of their failure. Heart and soul with them, not against them. Desirous that they may not be, to leaders and workers‐out of theories, what their own tools are them; neither less or more: some broken and destroyed, some worn out in doing or attempting the work in hand. I write, because I feel ashamed as an Englishman of the recollection of that paltry riot which page: 8 lately sent pickpockets and lamp‐breakers to shout at the very gates of the palace where a Queen and her new‐born babe lay sleeping; and yet more ashamed of the distrust evident among the most respectable classes as to the expected conduct of the masses on Monday.
"Stands England where it did," that such distrust should gain ground? Are our people unlinked from, or oppressed by, our aristocracy? Are they unrepresented, any section of them, in Parliament? Are they compelled, from the utter want of sympathy and justice in those above them, to seek assistance from those beneath them? Let the mob‐leaders themselves reply.

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Carp sightings
Did my normal 3 mile run at lunch time today through some corporate office parks that have ponds, an lo and behold what do I see, but about 7 nice 5-10 lb carp sunning them selves.
Perhaps I should bring the bug rod with me on my runs, since this is an untouched fishery.
Yes and I am glad it was at night when mine happened so I could slip away into the dark. Any way I was with a bunch of guys from work, as I recall my big carp was the top fish of that night so I had bragging and comedy rights. Glad I moved from that area and job a year later otherwise I would be hearing about it to this day.
|John Desjardins
|Thanks for the retreive info Q. one of these days I have to get serious on pursuing the carp in the pond near work. It would sure make a lunchtime treat.
Nice work Juro! Can you make it look like a 40"er?
JD, thanks for the tips. I'll try to put them to good use! I did notice that the carp seemed to be wary of the leader and fly line, which is part of the reason I switched to the intermediate line and fluoro leader. I thought it would help keep the shadow of the line from crossing over the fish and that it would prevent the fly from rising upwards when I stripped the line, which also seemed to spook the fish. The carp that were mudding were completely oblivious to me unless I got very close to them or slapped the line on the water right over them. The tough part was getting them to notice the fly. I got lucky on the "successful" cast because the leader curved towards the fish as it landed, so even though the cast was beyond the fish, the fly moved away from the fish when I started stripping line. Unfortunately, I can't claim that I planned it that way!
|There... thats' better!
You got lucky when you cast beyond the Carp and retrieved the fly back towards him. Probably only worked because he had stirred up enough mud that he couldn't really tell where the fly was coming from. It was just there. Remember prey does not move towards the predator! Always try to place the fly in front of the fish or a little to the near side. That way when you strip the fly, it will be moving away from the fish, like it is trying to get away.
In really clear water, they even spook away from a clear line. I have had them swim right up to the line, turn and follow the line, both towards me or away from me, but they will not swim under the line.
Watch for the cat tails or reeds to dance as they navigate through them. Cast into the cuts and pockets. Also watch for them to poke their snouts up through thick algie as they cruise along beneath it and take a little bite now and then.
BTW cruisers in a group are usually moving from one place to the next and will not eat but it's hard to resist not throwing a fly at them anyway. Try for the last one of the bunch.
If you really want to get serious about this, read the book "Carp on the Fly"
Quentin, good pictures, that water looks clear which is not the standard situation for carp, yes they will take flies wooly worms are known to work, have to find the right color for pond/lake/river brown or olive I would start with. Also would try various nymphs, like a Zug Bug or scuds. You may like these better than stripers. They do jump at times.
Some of the biggest river fish I have hooked while fly fishing for trout and bass have been big carp. Biggest was about 25 lbs from lake michigan on a streamer at night, thought it was a big brown or steelhead, had about 20 people watch me fight that thing for 20+ minutes. You should have seen the crowds face and laughter when I got it up to the pier for the netting. Glad I moved from Indiana to Chicago so these people cannot kid me about that one anymore.
I was just wondering if stripers jump,did not think they would , which is what it seems from the comments above.
Start tying those carp patterns will be good practice for salt water flats fishing and experience with fighting big fish on the bug rod.
JD, I only got one of the small ones and it was quite a bulldozer. Can't wait to get one of the big ones. I saw several that were probably over 25 pounds! And, believe it or not, I have had a carp jump after being hooked (while bait fishing ). It was just a little one, but it porpoised right out of the water on the first run!
Thanks Juro! You should see all the "dud" shots. I really need a digital camera!
Mark, if they eat nymphs in the river they may eat them in the pond too. Whatever you use, you just have to keep trying! I probably casted to more than a hundred fish before I finally got one.
John, on the first day I was using a floating line and retrieving slowly with some pauses to let the fly sink down a little. The carp were cruising in a couple of feet of murky water that had a lot of weed cover so they weren't too spooky. At first I wasn't sure if they were really following the fly or just happened to be swimming in the same direction, and then one of them actually ate the fly! On the second day I was fishing in clearer water. Some of the fish were cruising but some were grubbing on the bottom and making "muds". The fish ignored the fly or got spooked every time I thought I'd made a good presentation, so I switched to an intermediate line to get the fly closer to the bottom and used a single piece of fluoro for a leader so there wouldn't be any knots near the fly. The fish I caught was grubbing on the bottom in about 2 feet of water. I casted just beyond the fish, let the fly sink to the bottom and dragged it slowly through the stirred up mud right in front of the fish.
|John Desjardins
|Boy I made a liar out of myself in quick time today. I went to a pond near my work at lunch and what do I see but cruising schools of carp. I didn't catch any though.
|John Desjardins
Nice job Q. I haven't seen carp schooled up like that in the ponds that I fish.
What type of retreive worked?
|Dble Haul
Q, it's nice to see that you can get those fish on! I still haven't caught one intentionally yet; they always take a nymph in a current seam when I'm fishing for something else. Perhaps I'll try the wooly bugger approach in my local pond.
Contrary to what's stated above, if you catch enough stripers you'll eventually come across one that comes out of the water. It's rare, but it happens. :eyecrazy:
Good job Q!
|Very impressive photo gallery!
Carp on the Fly
Yes, they most certainly will take a fly. They get big and they pull hard, clear into the backing. To bad they don't jump. But then, neither do stripers, or redfish, or bonefish.
Carp Success!
I can now report with complete confidence that carp WILL eat a #6 unweighted brown wooly bugger. No bait or scent required! On one day I had two followers and then a taker that promptly snapped my leader and swam off with my only brown bugger. I tied up a few more that night, and the next day I tried them at another lake where I eventually hooked and landed a nice 8 - 10 pound mirror carp that took me right down to the backing on my 9 wt!
A little sight fishing, Berkshire County style:
Carp on!
Getting tired now:
And the release:
Persistence pays!

Burnout affects your mind, body and spirit. It can make you exhausted, anxious, and even depressed if you don't make changes – it can even cause health problems. Recognizing warning signs can help you stop burnout before it begins. Life changes encourage this as well.
Here are a few tips to keeping burnout away:
Pace your work: Don't take on too much. Give yourself breaks – it's healthy! Use management techniques to ensure you are on track. Take things off if there are too many.
Avoid Exhaustion: Stay in tune with your body – don't ignore it! Do things to improve your energy – recharge your battery with things you love – remember what makes you tick and keep it near. Don't lose knowing about things that you love. Like wen you are small and you love horses or baseball – keep things that make you tick as an adult!
Change Is Good: If you see a repeating pattern of reaching the burnout point – then it's time for a change – change can be very good! Change a job, a relationship, a house, a garden, etc.
Take Breaks: psychologically you need breaks. There are reasons why you need them. Your mind is not a machine it is a living organ that needs time to refresh, rejuvenate, and renew. Go for a 10-minute walk, play game, or just simply get away from the work for 10 minutes.
Ask For Help: If you need help – it's okay to ask for it. Vent your frustrations but focus on the issue not the person – that always helps most and hurts less!
Set Boundaries and Learn to Say No: If you say yes to everything then you are being more than accommodating you are being a door mat. You must have your boundaries just like others must have theirs.
Listen to Your Alarms: Most importantly you must listen to yourself. If something seems wrong then it probably is. You must discover what is setting your alarm off. You are valid and you deserve to know what makes you tick. You have mechanisms in place to protect you and others so be sure to listen to your alarms.
Breath: If you ever begin to panic or become very nervous – remember to breath and tell yourself that this will pass too. You need to know what you can handle and get out when you can't handle something. If you can't get away from a source of stress, wait until you can and then go take a walk or a break or something. Movement really makes a huge difference. Move the blood in your body to help heal stress.
These are just a few ways to avoid burnout. Do it – it matters!

Family: Heteromyidae, Pocket Mice and Kangaroo Rats view all from this family
Description The smaller of two subspecies. Uniform rusty brown or clay above, darkest on head; white below. Upper and lower dark tail stripes are broader than white stripes on side of tail, but meet along terminal one-third, thus interrupting white stripes. Lacks white tuft on tip of tail. Hindfoot has 4 toes. Lower incisors rounded in front.
Dimensions L 8 1/4-8 7/8" (211-226 mm); T 5" (127 mm); HF 1 1/4" (33 mm); E 1/3" (8.5 mm); Wt average 1 1/4 oz (35 g).
Endangered Status The Fresno Kangaroo Rat, a subspecies of the San Joaquin Kangaroo Rat, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in California. This subspecies formerly inhabited an extensive range in the San Joaquin Valley, but as that region was taken over by farming and development, the animal declined. In the early 1900s it was thought to be extinct, but was found surviving in 1933. The Fresno Kangaroo Rat is currently jeopardized by the threat of flooding from the San Joaquin River, the use of rodenticides to control pest species, and disease, as well as the continued degradation of its habitat.
Habitat Arid, often strongly alkaline, flat plains with sparse vegetation of grasses or sometimes orache (Atriplex). Ponds occur during wet season; lack of drainage causes the alkalinity.
Range San Joaquin Valley, California.

One of the reasons I've started to post regularly is the fact that two old acquaintances contacted me recently after doing a Google search on my name and finding my entries on this site.
This week sucked-- as evidenced by the fact that no coding got done (I'm supposed to be learning Java, remember?). One of those weeks when you feel like you've been constanly busy but got nothing done. I must be getting impatient about my position change, which is understandable since I've known about it for four months now. Maybe I am getting short-timers disease. Add to that some personal shit that came to the fore this week (can I say 'shit' on this site?) right after an exhausting and frustrating trip to Phoenix and you have my last two weeks in a nutshell.
At least the sun's been out today.

Gov. Walker considers freezing UW System tuitions
Officials say tuition hikes are necessary
MILWAUKEE - Gov. Scott Walker says he's considering several options to keep tuitions affordable in the University of Wisconsin System.
A Wisconsin Public Radio report said the options include freezing tuition, capping the size of tuition hikes and raising state aid.
The governor's comments came last week when he spoke at a voucher school in Milwaukee. A high school student asked about being able to afford college, and Walker said one key is to make sure tuition doesn't keep getting raised.
Walker said he still wants the UW System to grow and provide a full breadth of programs and courses. He says he's working with UW officials on options.
The UW System has long argued that tuition hikes are necessary because state aid hasn't kept pace with rising university costs.

|Great Lakes Steelhead & Salmon Amazing "Inland ocean" fisheries
|Topic Review (Newest First)
So Dan, it looks like my internet only research paid off in the selection of a decent GL spey rod. Happy so far with the St Croix 7/8 weight.
Ok the answers to your questions:
The GL's rivers are generally small, less than 80', and sometimes as small as 20'. There are exceptions, such as the Muskegon, St. Mary's, Niagra, and more that are over 100' wide. The rivers are usually deep and have many pockets that cannot be fished effectively with west coast spey fishing techniques. There is very little room for backcasts on most rivers, and most people resort to single handed rods. I find that a two handed rod works great as you can control your line and keep it on the water longer. You can buy lines to cover your needs, but spey fishing envolves more. Most use a thin diamter, running line and add pencil lead or split shot and drift fish with it on a flyrod setup. I resort to more traditional methods, using a floating line and indicator to nymph, or multiple sinking tips to get down without the use of added weight. The line I explanined is practical. Double Taper lines are great since they can be roll casted, yet if the belly is not on the water than it is hard to turnover your leader. On the other hand, a WF line is great for loading the rod quickly and may be better than a DT at times since you need the line to pick up and reload without having to false cast as often. With this line I explained, you get a 25' head of DT line that butts up to a short headed nymph taper flyline, and are connected by loops. The nymph taper is WF and accelerates the line out with enough power it turns over the lighter DT line, and will allow effecitve presentation of indicators, splitshot, or the use of mini tips to get down. The nymph taper's head is about 30' long, and you have about 25' of DT line, so the overall length is about 55'. The "power hinge" affect is what causes the line to turnover, yet allows proper mending as well.
Hope I cleared this up!
|Ok I have to bite .Why do you have to do all of these things to your lines to catch fish ? How big are your Rivers ? C.F.S ? Where the Fish will be holding ? Your back cast ? Can you buy a few lines to cover all your need's , To catch fish ?Are your Rivers as big as our's out on the West Coast ?What about a shooting head ?Fish-head
Dan's GL's Nymphing Flyline
I am always creating new lines and adding to my many ideas I already have. I find that when nymphing in the great lakes, if you don't have a good line, it won't turnover and allow precise casting. Something I did when creating a spey line for the GL's is use a double taper(7wt.) and cut the line after about 25ft' then made a loop and used a nymph taper in an 8wt.(shorter head and no belly) behind that. The extended 25' of DT line taper down from the thciker butt section. When you roll cast you can feel a power transfer as the heavier nymph taper pushes the butt end of the DT line and allows the line to turonver. This is great when nymphing as well since you don't have to worry about the weight(yes, many GL steelheaders use soft putty, splitshot, and bead head nymphs) and indicators not turning over. It's truly a great lakes setup, what do you think?
I wanted to add a few comments. Latley(last 2 years) I have been hearing about how great "euro" rods are, and their advantages over traditional rods. Personally, I own one rod that has a fast, european action which I use in the surf and larger rivers where I can swtich cast and use the tip to lay out longer casts. In our Great Lakes region, the rivers are typically smaller and backcasts can be impossible at times. I find that a traditional rod may be more suited for roll casting and laying out line since the flex allows certain casts needed on smaller rivers to be performed easier. Now if I had the money, I would buy the Lamiglas traditional spey, but I don't so I had to invest in a lower end rod. The St. Croix 13' 7/8 rod has a moderate action, but I find that performs roll, single spey, double spey, and snake roll casts very easily, and bends to the upper part of the butt. It isn't a full flex, but it flexes easily and provides good turnover. It is a great indicator rod too, and turns over a DT line easily.

Did Daniel Ghita Have A Plan?
- Written by Jay Jauncey
- font size decrease font size increase font size
This morning Daniel Ghita wrote a very emotional message to his fans via Facebook (see below) regarding his old sparring partner Rico Verhoeven. We cannot comment about Rico's alleged racist remarks that Daniel writes about, but we can talk about the fight itself.
Now, before Ghita's fight with Rico we got to see a different side of him, we got to see him open up, talk, and tell us how he really felt about his opponent which is a rare thing for the typically quiet and stone-faced Romanian. It was great to see him fired up and giving his opinions on the mic, but part of me wondered if this was all for show considering they used to train together often, and seemed like friends during those times. There was no way to know for sure until the fight, especially considering he had a point to prove, that Verhoeven's first victory over him was a robbery.
On to the fight, there were a few strange things. First of all Ghita came out slowly in the first round, the exact same way he did during his last fight with Rico. If you saw Daniel's fight with Errol Zimmerman, then you know exactly the violence this Romanian is capable of when he is aggressive, this was totally what I was expecting from him. Round two, where once again Ghita waited for Rico and threw a very limited amount of strikes. Anyone watching as a Daniel Ghita fan, I can imagine was beginning to get frustrated. Second peculiar thing we noticed was Erik Van Warmerdam, Ghita's corner man between rounds. The only advice he seemed to give while the camera was on him was "keep waiting, your doing fine Daniel keep waiting for him." Then during the break leading into the fifth and final round we once again heard Warmerdam saying "Rico knows hes behind, keep waiting." The fight was so close, it didn't seem like anyone was really behind at any point, so we really couldn't understand why this advice was given. Not to mention waiting is rarely going to win a fight.
Ghita's opinion on Rico is that he is a fake champion and he does nothing and still wins fights. After reading Daniel's facebook post it got me thinking, Ghita waited for Rico the whole fight, his corner man was advising him to keep waiting and let Rico initiate, he fought nothing like his last fight, and He even wrote "You do NOTHING if your opponent does not start the fight." Was this Daniel Ghita's idea of proving a point? Did he deliberately do nothing to show that if an opponent doesn't initiate Verhoeven makes boring fights? Or is this all just part of the emotion of losing another very close decision to the Prince of kickboxing?

I've bought hip help but he won't eat his food with the powder on top. I've thought about just leaving it and when he gets hungry he'll finally eat it, but I don't want to starve him. Especially with going through some rehab he needs all the nutrients he can get. Has anyone every tried a human glucosimine supplement? Thanks for the help!

Often a diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease happens when you have a sexually transmitted infection. Finding out that you have an STI can be traumatic. Put your initial shock on hold so that you can take the steps immediately necessary to get treated and to prevent reinfection.
If you've experienced more than one episode of pelvic inflammatory disease, you're at greater risk of infertility. If you've been trying to become pregnant without success, make an appointment with your doctor for an infertility evaluation. Your doctor or a reproductive health specialist may perform tests to determine whether or not your history of pelvic inflammatory disease is causing the problem and, if so, outline your options.

You will rarely if ever hear one of those outlets cast a critical eye towards liberal policies. They are are just as biased left as fox is biased right.
You might try looking at the networks' coverage of Snowden to see how wrong this is. "Liberal" MSNBC and NPR (can't speak for the others) have actually been mostly neutral, sometimes supportive, toward him; Fox is the one insisting he's a traitor or bringing on Washington talking heads who do.
But no, don't do anything drastic like examine your beliefs. Just keep it up with the "both sides are equally bad" meme, but actually requires no critical thought whatsoever.

I can't believe the Quizno sub commercials haven't mentioned, you know the one featuring the twisted, dancing, guitar-playing creatures with the horrible voices (I want to say hamsters). My favorite quote being, "They got a pepper bar!"
Geico commercials are cute and tummy-tickling as well.
As mentioned before, I also like the 7-UP commercials that featured Orlando Bloom and now the new guy who in the most recent one invites the grocery store shoppers to take free samples of 7-UP, but mishearing, they raid and take everything in the store.
As much as we think our country's ads are funny, tasteless or both, I have seen some foreign commercials aired that would classify as X-rated. The standards across the pond must be a little bit loose.

Penn State shocks Badger men's hockey
Wisconsin blows 2-0 third period lead, loses in OT
MADISON - Junior forward Taylor Holstrom scored the game-winning goal with 34 seconds left in overtime as the Penn State men's hockey team erased a 2-0 deficit in a 3-2 overtime victory against No. 16 Wisconsin in its season finale at the Kohl Center Monday night.
The Nittany Lions, who defeated a ranked opponent for the first time and improved to 3-2-0 against future Big Ten opponents, finished their inaugural NCAA Division I campaign at 13-14-0.
Penn State, which also defeated Michigan State Jan. 26, improved to 10-2-0 when scoring a power-play goal.
Wisconsin led 2-0 in the third period after goals from Mark Zengerle and Joseph LaBate.
The Nittany Lions then began to claw back beginning with Holstrom's marker. The forward tallied his first of the game at 6:48 of the period and, with 7:44 left in regulation. Casey Bailey tied the game with a power-play marker.
The stage was then set for Holstrom's heroics in the overtime frame. Bailey gloved a clearing attempt at the blue line and worked the puck toward the cage. After Max Gardiner's attempt was stopped, Holstrom fired the game-winner to the back of the cage.
Freshman netminder Matthew Skoff matched a career-high with 42 saves while Landon Peterson stopped 33 shots for the Badgers.
Wisconsin outshot the Nittany Lions, 44-36, and went 0-for-4 on the power play. The Nittany Lions finished 1-for-4 with the man advantage.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
adjective :: Wise; sage; discerning.
"This, of course, brought down an avalanche of suppositions, flooded with the sapient arguments of the two officials, who sent back and forth to each other a wearisome flood of nonsense." --de Balzac, Honore
Creativity :: Flow
Flow is a mental state that was first described by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. It is characterized by the ability of creative people to block out all distractions and fully immerse themselves in an activity. When someone feels like they are "in the zone" or "in a groove", it is likely that they are experiencing flow.
The unbroken concentration that comes from flow can be refreshing and invigorating. Extreme productivity and highly creative ideas are often the result of a flow experience. People come out of flow feeling happy and fulfilled.
Someone who is experiencing flow may lose their feeling of self-awareness. They will become completely absorbed by the activity and forget about themselves, sometimes ignoring bodily needs, such as eating and sleeping. They may also become unaware of the passage of time and may be surprised when they realize how much time has passed while they were enjoying the activity.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to get into flow on command, but it is possible to shift things in your favor. Reducing disturbances is very important. Each phone call, instant message or other distraction call pull you out of the flow experience. It is also important that the task you are working on posses most of these criteria:
1. The person must have active control over the task.
2. The task must have clear goals and expectations.
3. The task must give immediate feedback, such that mistakes can be quickly corrected.
4. The task must not be so easy that it is boring, but not so difficult that it is frustrating.
5. The activity should be intrinsically rewarding so that participation is its own reward.
To learn more about flow, you can read Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's book "Flow" at Amazon.com.
New research from Washington University in St. Louis suggests that repeated test taking might be more effective than repeated studying. Students who tested themselves while they studied had better retention of the information than students who simply studied the material without testing themselves.
The improved retention of material was probably a result of the feedback that students received from taking the tests. The students who did not take tests were never able to verify that they had correctly learned the information. Students who did not test themselves came away with a false sense of confidence about their knowledge.
This research suggests that teachers who give their students frequent quizzes may be improving their student's retention of the material better than if they had spent the time discussing the material.
Similar to how Pavlov's dog had associated food with the sound of a bell, it's possible to program your mind to associate some stimuli with being in a relaxed and calm state. This can be a very effect way of coping with stress.
The first step is to find a trigger that you can use on yourself. It should be something that doesn't happen in a normal day. Maybe it could be sticking a finger in your ear, pinching the back of your hand, or taking a whiff from one of your scent canisters.
The second step is to associate this trigger with the state of being calm and relaxed. Try to conjure up a vivid memory of a time in the past when you were totally at peace. Try to recreate all the sounds, smells and images. Once you think you have a good visualization, program it into your mind by sticking your finger in your ear, or whatever else you have chosen to be your trigger. In the future, whenever you are naturally feeling calm and relaxed you should reinforce your trigger by doing it.
Now that you have programmed your mind to associate the trigger with a relaxed state, you can use it whenever you feel stressed. Simply activate your trigger and you will immediately start feeling more relaxed.

'Titanic' news that's all wet — but around here, we've got great (and DRY) 'Titanic'-related stuff going on
We found this hilarious notice, apparently from a showing of the movie Titanic when it was re-released recently in 3-D, on the Facebook page Theories of the Deep Understanding of Things. Because we are slightly wicked, it made us laugh. But it also made us think: There are lot of really great Titanic-related things going on right now around town. Last year was the 100-year anniversary of the night of April 14-15, 1912, when the "unsinkable" ship went down in the Atlantic Ocean.
There's the "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition" show at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, which runs through March 24. Here's the Joy's Jaunt I wrote about my adventure there.
Also, check out Titanic: The Musical (yes, they can officially make ANYTHING into a musical now) from the J Players of the Jewish Community Center through March 2. Information here or call 214-739-2737.

European elections have recently caught the interest of Americans on the Left. Greece, obviously, and the election victory of Jeremy Corbyn to the leadership of the Labour Party in the UK. Now there's one more, admittedly on a much more modest scale, to chalk up for the Left: Norway. On Monday, Rødt—Red in English—a party of communists and socialists (although not a classic communist party), had their best showing in years in the nationwide voting for provincial and local leaders there, while the ruling Conservative coalition took some big hits.
The Norwegian elections have not been widely covered in the mainstream media here, nor even in the English language blogosphere, so I spent Tuesday tracking down friends and friends of friends in Norway and grilling them to cobble together, from 5000 miles away, this rough, immediately-after-the-fact report.Download this piece as a PDF

Chicken and hominy are a tasty change of pace from ground beef and kidney beans in a savory soup-based chili.
If your family is not fond of hominy, just add another can of great northern beans.
The chicken is placed on the bottom of the cooker where it is hottest because it needs more cooking than the rest of the ingredients.
