Apple and HTC Organize a Truce, Sign 10-Year Licensing Pact

Apple, HTC kiss and make up
Before his death, former Apple CEO Steve Jobs stated that
he was willing to go "thermonuclear" on Google
and the manufacturers that produce devices running Android OS. It appears that current Apple CEO Tim Cook, however, is taking a softer approach on the warfront.
Apple and HTC have
been in and out of court for years
, battling over smartphone patents. Most recently, Apple
lost its bid to ban HTC's One X and EVO 4G LTE
over its claim of infringement on a "data tapping" patent. However, both companies announced yesterday that the two companies have reached a settlement on all pending litigation. All current lawsuits are being tossed and the two companies have entered into a ten-year licensing agreement.

"HTC is pleased to have resolved its dispute with Apple, so HTC can focus on innovation instead of litigation," said HTC CEO Peter Chou.
"We are glad to have reached a settlement with HTC," said Apple CEO Tim Cook. "We will continue to stay laser focused on product innovation."
The terms of the agreement are confidential.

HTC has been taking on water in recent months, and has
seen an erosion of profits
as Samsung has
strengthened its position in the smartphone market
HTC has also made drastic cuts to its research and development programs while also scaling back its marketing efforts. Perhaps Apple just doesn't see much of a threat from HTC anymore, and was more willing to make a deal.
Apple still has a
hard-on for Samsung
, so we doubt that the boys from Cupertino will be reaching any licensing agreements with that South Korean electronics giant any time soon.
"What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders." -- Michael Dell, after being asked what to do with Apple Computer in 1997

|Ocean Flyfishing for Salmon Perhaps the most under-rated fishery in the world
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Halcyon days of yore!!
This thread with all the talk of mooching and hanging around the kelp beds from Shi Shi to Inner Puget Sound has really got my juices flowing. Add to that the fact that "they" are going to open King Salmon fishing here around Port Angeles this summer it really has me dreaming!
Like, it appears, several others I too have had the adventure of fishing in the good times at Neah Bay and the inner Straits of Juan De Fuca. I have also spent a couple of decades in SE Alaska. King salmon, I have caught enough but I have got to say they are the hardest and most elusive prey I have encountered when casting feathers at the sea.
I have been in situations with other more refined and certainly more famous anglers who like myself were literally surrounded by hundreds of heavily feeding "feeder kings" gorging on needlefish right on the Kelp beds where you could cast to several "Howsers" at the same time. Birds reeling through the air, gulls screaming ,and kings porpoiesing through acres of bait fishes. These were heavy feeding deep bodied kings averaging 20#+ many could be seen cartwheeling through the dense schools of bait fish that were constantly showering the surface of the water as the schools of kings gorged on there flesh.
This was the same place where the moochers could catch a fish as fast as they could drop a bait in the water and give it but a single twitch. However even though I have been to many places as described and have spent countless hours in pursuit I have yet to land a "Full Sized King Salmon" in the salt water on a fly that was cast and retrived, I did hook several but other than a breif and hard run I never actually saw the fish so they could have been something other than kings.
Several of my fishing pals have managed to catch a few Kings while we were fishing for Coho. While they were Kings over 30# they were caught while fishing for Coho in August when there were not many kings around.
Its a real challenge folks I am not about to give up, but it certainly gives me pause when I hear of someone who has made the whole thing come together and actually cast to, hooked ,and landed a Salt water King. Maybe this year I'll change my luck!
Beau-- At the speed I was traveling, er, trolling, the bait was in the upper 10 feet or so of water. Compared to the rest of the day where I'd be fishiing 90 to 400 (the deepest I've caught kings) that is shallow. On the springers in PT Bay, they'd hit the herring and be in the air the next second, so they were quite close to the surface, despite being in over 70 feet of water. Guess it's all relative.
Never did get into them three pulls out, but I've got one spot where you'd see the bottom and catch fish.
But you're right-- with the tackle available to us today, we should be able to intercept kings in the salt on flies. Like I said, that's my goal this year.
|beau purvis
kings & blackmouth
25 pulls? 40 pulls? Hell, that aint shallow! my buddy Pete Tronquet and I fished neah bay a lot and were kelpers in 66 & 67 in summers between school yrs. we had to break ourselves from the possion bar, pt no pt, hazel pt habits of being deep.3 to 15 pulls was the ticket.morning or afternoon.didnt matter. we fished all moring once at spike rock.nothing! tide was right at about 3pm and they bit like crazy.I used to live 2 miles from Hazel pt in the good ol days on Hood Canal. I could look at my watch{leave the afternoon social gathering on the patio] hit 30-60 minutes of the tide and return with 1 or 2 big kings.lately I have done the same thing on the canal at a pt further north in late june early july.pink and white clouser.anyway neah bay kings & Ilwaco kings were right on top.i remember one day off shi shi beech in about 30ft of water.candle fish had held in there all summer.we hit it just right with drift mooch herring technique.it was past 10am before my lead was able to hit the bottom.and these days with good fly eguipment those fish shld be available to the fly.beau
Can't say I've caught any blackmouth or kings on a fly, but I've caught a bunchon gear in the Straits when we could fish for them.
The low-light trigger for shallow kings is right on the money, for the most part. But fishing out of Port Angeles, Freshwater Bay and Pillar Point has shown me that the kings are not restricted to kelp lines. Early in the morning-- just when you start to see dawn coming up a bit-- you'll find kings up just under the surface. I used to fish for them a lot with 25 pulls of line, a plug-cut herring and a fast troll, and I wasn't sticking close to shore either. When I'd hit it right, it was nothing to have three kings (the limit then) in the fish box before the sun cracked the horizon.
Here are a couple of examples, though, that expand on this shallow behavior a bit-- in one four-day period at Pillar Point when it was extremely foggy, the kings stacked up close to the surface in the middle of the bay, and the "25 pulls" presentation was dynamite. The folks who were fishing on the deck caught zip. When the fog disappeared, the kings dropped down.
The other example occurred four years ago in Port Townsend Bay when a school of springers came in and fed heavily close to the surface for about a week. Forty pulls of line and a plug-cut herring trolled at bucktailing speeds was the ticket. Haven't found them there since.
What all this means in relation to flyfishing for these buggers is something else again. I am going to be trying to do just that this summer-- unfortunately, my best spots are in the closure area. But there are a couple that aren't where I've caught smallish kings heading down Sound fairly shallow. If nothing else, it will be interesting.
I cheat a bit
I have to say, I do cheat when it comes to fly fishing for kings/blackmouth. I do fish for them from the beach, but I watch for exact conditions stated. BUT, here's how I cheat.
Most good sized blackmouth sit deep. And this is from a boat mind you. I use a mixture of conventional with fly. I have my fly rod set up with a sinking line (and big reel with LOTS of backing). I then set up my leader to lay in my downrigger. No flasher, just the fly to line. I then drop it down to depth (depends where I'm at, but sometimes up to 160'). Then, slightly troll. I watch for my flyrod to go off, or stay on a dead drift and do a quick yank to release the line from downrigger. Then do a quick strip, stop, and let line fall. Has put me into some nice kings. May be unconventional. But has worked for me. When I get my new boat, will have to take some of you out to see what I mean. Works great, I call it "Fly mooching".
I have to agree with marketic to a degree. I would have to say that the low tide would be much better than a high for blackmouth at almost any beach. You just dont get the kind of water depth with high hide that you do at the low.
I dont know how much you have fished Pt. Monroe but when I was 10 i used to row out there in my boat and hammer the blackmouth. The drop off is very good there but I have caught more fish off the eel grass beds than off of the point itself.
I have my other spots too but since not many people fish the sand-spit, as we call it, i dont mind talking about it. But i cannot stand P-n-P where it has become a zoo. There are plenty of places between thsoe two spots that I have caught fall kings upto 15 pounds, and lost some that I have never seen. They are an exciting fish but a beach angler has a tough time with them and they dont get the same publicity as the cohos.
I think the formula for hooking blackmouth (and kings) in the salt from a Puget Sound beach with any kind of consistency probably comes down to two things: putting your time in on the right tides and picking your spots.
I do alot of salt fishing and I'm always looking for steep drop-offs that are right off the beach. Choice No. 1: Point No Point Lighthouse (a fifty foot cast will put you in 90 feet of water). Choice No. 2: Beach just south of Southworth Ferry Dock (entrance to Colvoss Pass,west side) Choice No.3: Alki Point. Choice No. 4: Point Monroe (opposite Jeff Head)
I'm a big believer in keeping your gear wet during either the high slack or the low slack, an hour before and an hour after the change. The time of the day I think is not critical, although low light is indeed when feeder kings sometimes come shallow or come to the top. But I think what the tide is doing trumps the time of the day. Just my opinion, folks. Every time I think I have blackmouth and kings wired for sound, they turn the tables and humiliate me.
Interesting observations... I would love to have a peek at your journal
I think you're dead on with light conditions. At Sekiu while most of us were kicking back for a while in the evening the local boys would go down to the gaps in the kelp near the Caves and cast buzz bombs into a high tide. They would consistently hook and sometimes even land summer kings up to 25 pounds.
It's a known fact that kings come into the kelp at dawn and dusk in the straits in July. I often wondered if finding an inshore hunting route at dawn or dusk with a grainy sinking head line and a good looking herring fly or squid fly or candlefish pattern wouldn't put a tyee on the line with some patience and luck.
AJ McClane documents radio tagging study results that document a distinct movement of chinook to the shoreline at dusk with withdrawl to very deep water in morning. I would guess that one of the most influential factors would be targeting "o'dark thirty".
I wonder what would happen if someone who works in Seattle hit twilight in the tide changes at Alki from mid-July thru August every dawn before work... hmmm... wish it were me!
|Leland Miyawaki
Blackmouth "Secrets"
Whenever I've targeted blackmouth off the beach, I've failed.
When I've targeted coho off the beach, I sometimes catch blackmouth. I've caught them on both drylines with poppers and slimelines with clousers. The only constant has been first light or fog and, of course, an area where they are know to be hanging about.
Looking at my journals, it appears that July is a very good month.

Hmmm. I may want to find her. I'm not into TFU that I know of (yet - if ever) but she's a natural to add to the population in Club Outlander.

maybe I'd put another figure of him in the podrace audience, but I like to use aliens.
To have my populations somewhat different, I don't add new figures to OT scenes unless they're totally "fit" for that. The McQuarrie Starkiller and Han Solo (which looks too much like Ewan's Obi-Wan) fit in Cloud City without a second glance. Plus I wouldn't want to use that McQuarrie Solo figure in a PT scene as he'd be too easily mistaken for young Obi-Wan, IMO.

I recently implemented an inter-wiki title search called MetaWiki.
I added the listing from http://advogato.org/proj/ to the search engine.
I should also know that the SVG Jabber Whiteboard has been stalled for a little while. At first, I needed a good way to do hierarchical diffs against the XML tree as well as representing relative ordering. By good, I mean in a way that would not flood the network with a lot of fork messages and would still leave the distributed model correct.
I discovered XML Fragment from the W3C, but it doesn't look promising. Consequently, I'm going to have to do something myself.
Meanwhile, at work (where I'm developing the whiteboard), I've been sidelined to meet another deadline. So, my time is limited. For the moment, I'm moving forward with the whiteboard in my infinite free time, for small values of infinity.

zebra pleco
I am looking for a reputable source of adult pairs or juvenile groups of zebra plecos that would be willing to part with them for a reasonable price. If they can be bred in captivity and are relatively easy to care for, the export ban should not stop these wonderful little creatures from becoming mainstream in the hobby.
I know of no true L46 plecos that come at a reasonable price, the cheapest I could find was this one, it's 120 bucks, and that's cheap when you consider how expensive they usually are.
Unfortunately, it's expired.
I think in your situation a breeding pair would be like 1500$ at least.
Maybe the cheapest juvinile would be around 200$..

I did find a group of 6 juveniles for $500, but from what I've read most spawns are mostly males. I would be slightly upset to pay hundreds of dollars for a group of male fish.
0Originally Posted by kmehl01
Since you're asking here instead of plecoplanet.com, or plecoworld.org, or planetcatfish.com it appears you don't have enough knowledge to own zebra plecos. That's a curable condition. They are rare and any true fan will want them in the hands of people who can successfully propagate them.
An earlier post said they'd seen six fry advertised at $500.00. That's still cheap and it means someone is successfully breeding them. A couple of years back, there was a batch of ten on Aquabid at $1500. That was the low price of the year.
In the mean time, how about learning with squiggle plecos? L-333 youngsters, for instance, usually run about $20.00 each. L-333s come in two color variants. One nearly white, the other cream. If you insist on adults, and willing to gamble as to fertility, you can find adults at what most pleco fans would say are very reasonable prices.
By the way, since you're in Michigan, why aren't you talking to Dale and Chris at FF?
Here is what Ted Judy had to say about them.
I had a chance to visit this store in early March while in Detroit to give a talk at the Motor City Aquarium Society. There are not many stores like this around any more, and it is good to know that having a fish shop with a huge variety of cool and rare species is even possible these days. Fantastic Fins is working on getting a website up, so until I can post a link for them this contact information will have to do:
Fantastic Fins 38313 Ann Arbor Rd., Livonia, MI 48150 firstname.lastname@example.com
Chris, one of the owners, says that he will ship fish. I am sure he or Dale (the other owner) can provide a list if you email them.
Good luck.

I am watching plecoworld and planet catfish as well. I'm currently in the process of research, I know i'm not ready to buy them. I don't live in Livonia and when I called fantastic fins a couple days ago the kid said they don't have them, but to call back next week and try to talk to the owner.

You will really want to make an appointment to tour and talk pleco.
Make sure before you go, that you have some quarantine space ready for anything else you've been wanting but not found anywhere else. I maintain that it is impossible for a fish fancier with any money at all, to go to FF and leave empty handed.

That's three breeders with fish for sale right now. Granted, still an expensive fish but it's being bred successfully3 potted plants and 6 strings of plastic do not make a planted tank!
If you are still looking for zebras at a fair market price, I would suggest contacting TTA (Chris) at PlecoWorld.org. He raises, breeds and sells zebras as inexpensively as I have found them. I got my first group from him 4 years ago, and I am still waiting for them to spawn. You have a better chance of getting both sexes by buying a small group of juvies (and it's less expensive). Good luck.46 BF Oddball Community Tank

While it is true that zebra plecos still command a higher price than most would like, if you are still looking for some then I can help. I am a breeder and have several sizes available at a price well below what most other breeders sell them for ($100 ea for 1-1.5", $120 ea for $1.5-2" and $140 ea for 2"+). I ship throughout the US. If you are interested in breeding them, the best and most cost effective approach, in my opinion, is to do what others have suggested - purchase a group rather than trying obtaining a breeding pair. A guaranteed breeding pair would be VERY expensive, even if you could find one. Which I suspect would be very unlikely, unless you just happen to find someone that is getting out of the business. Most of us that breed the zebra pleco started that way....purchasing a group....and it works. If you are interested, let me know. I have posts on the zebrapleco, planetcatfish and plecoplanet websites.

I don't have anything specific to add but I was just browsing and am from MI, so I was interested in this fantastic fins place if they really are good, I go by that area periodically. But if some of you know them you might want to mention to them their internet presence is in really bad shape. Their website is over its quota and down, and Google says their website is a parked spam page on maps, and they should be able to ditch the AOL email and get one at their own website for free with any cheap as dirt host now days.

AMORY – An Amory surgeon is making gall bladder surgery even less invasive.
Dr. Wood Brand recently performed the first robot-assisted surgery for gall bladder removal using a single incision site in Northeast Mississippi at Gilmore Regional Medical Center in Amory.
Traditional laparoscopic surgery and robot-assisted surgery uses multiple small incisions to place tools and cameras inside the body.
"Single site surgery allows for patients to have less abdominal scarring than traditional surgery," Brand said. "We are always looking for ways our patients can experience less pain, less scarring and faster recovery. I believe this accomplishes all three."
Gall bladder removal is the only procedure that currently has regulatory approval to be performed by the single site method.
Brand completed intensive training to perform the single site procedure in addition to the training he already received to perform surgery using the robot-assisted system.
The daVinci surgical robot systems are most commonly used for gynecological and urologic procedures, but more general surgeons are using the systems.
Robot-assisted surgery has shown indications of lowering the risk of post-surgical complications for most patients.
The robot-assisted system builds on less invasive techniques with tiny instruments that surgeons can manipulate from outside the body, guided by fiber optic cameras.
The surgeon uses a control station where they have a three-dimensional, enlarged view of the surgical site and very precise controls of the surgical tools, that, unlike traditional laparoscopic tools, can turn and pivot.

Laying An Egg
This is a member of the mammalian order Monotremata, the smallest order of mammals with only 5 species. It's an Echidna commonly known as a spiny ant eater.
You're A Mammal That Lays Eggs?
If comedians have a favorite animal, it is quite likely the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus). Playtpus are mammals that lay eggs, have a duck-like bill and fight with poisonous barbs. That's a lot of material for a comedian to work with! For scientists, the platypus represents a bit more than foil for a comedic schtick. They represent an opportunity to observe an adaptive path that most mammals did not take, and as such represent a valuable comparison point for theories about how mammals developed into large organisms which dominate the planet in many ways. They are also members of the smallest mammalian order (Monotremata) which has only 5 species and 3 genera, the platypus and 4 species of Echidna in two genera. Find out here about how scientists are studying the population structure of the platypus, and why we may be on the road to having more species of monotremes.

Extension Investigation
Use the resources below to answer the following questions:
- Where are platypuses (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) found? Be as specific as you can. What sorts of biomes do they occupy?
- What physical factors may be leading to speciation in the platypus? What pattern of physical differences do you see in the platypus throughout its range?
- Does this difference support the idea that allele (different versions of genes) frequency is changing within the playpus's range?
- What danger can playpuses present to humans? Are they unique among mammals in this trait?
- What part of the playpus do scientists collect DNA from? Do you think this is harmful to the animals? Why do you think scientists chose this technique?
- What is unique about platypuses sex chromosomes? Can you think of any situation where this would be beneficial to the platypuses?
- Where are monotremes found other than Australia?

GigapanMagazine.org vol 3 issue 1
Shot onboard our borrowed 18ft Maravia while at camp above Hance Rapid, this GigaPan provides a glimpse at the vital gear that got us through the Canyon. Because Hance is accessible from the rim, boaters often run into hikers at this camp. We met up with several hikers that were out of water and rightly concerned that the silty Colorado River water would clog their filters. They intended on starting out for the rim immediately and didn't have time to settle river water before filtering. We, too, were running low on filtered water, but filled up half of their water bottles immediately and advised them to wait for us to settle and filter more. They said that they could not, so we offered them beer, which they were very excited to enjoy. As they were leaving, I asked them if they were going to fill their remaining water bottles with river water to settle and filter later. They had not considered this an option, but decided that was a prudent move. When hiking in a desert, never pass a source of water without filling every container you have.

RE:Micro-trout clave just now
That's making effective use of your time!
I once landed a hatchery steelhead hen before a Boeing meeting and after gutting it in a suit and tie was late for the meeting. The account mgr was pissed that I was a few minutes late, but he should have been glad I cleared the mud from my dress shoes before attending. He cooled down after a while and started to made small talk during a break. We sat in the same coffee room where I had stashed the steelhead, fearing it would be bad in the trunk of my car. It was his turn to host the neighborhood dinner party and he knew I liked to cook so he asked what I recommended for a recipe for a group of people. I opened the fridge and said "how about fresh steelhead?". He said "put that back, you don't know who it belongs to..." and I said "why do you think I was late?".
He said "all is forgiven" and I heard later the dinner party was a hit!

Tones of the Beast: 10 Essential Heavy Metal Amps
Blackstar Series One 100
They may have just set up shop in 2004, but the folks at Blackstar boast of "50 years combined experience in guitar amplification design and production." And it shows.
Blackstar have quickly become the go-to amp makers for all stripes of metal players, including artists as diverse as Gus G, Richie Sambora, Ihsahn and James Williamson. If you want to know why, you only need to look as far as the craftsmanship behind the Blackstar Series One 100-watt head.
The amp's two channels are each divided into two modes, with the clean channel featuring "warm" and "bright" modes, the latter being perfect for clean intros and bridges, a la the middle section of "Master of Puppets."
For distortion, the overdrive channel gives you the options of a "crunch" or "super crunch" mode, which pretty much tells you all you need to know about the crushing tones you can expect. Guitarists falling far on the "extreme" side of the spectrum may need to throw an extra pedal in their chain for those absolutely distortion-drenched tones they so crave, but few metal amps come as solidly built or highly recommended by metal's elite.

Tough Start Sinks UW At UND
McCabe leaves game with injury.
No. 7/8 North Dakota (14-8-6, 9-5-6 WCHA) scored 45 seconds into the game on a power play and never looked back on Saturday night, defeating No. 19 Wisconsin, 4-1.
The Badgers (11-9-6, 8-6-6 WCHA) faced a fired up and efficient North Dakota team, fueled by a home crowd of 11,962 inside the Ralph Engelstad Arena.
An early power-play score by North Dakota set the tone early and was carried throughout the game, as Wisconsin faced a total of eight power plays and allowed two goals. The Badgers had power-play opportunities as well, but were unable to score, going 0-for-5 with the man advantage.
Mark MacMillan earned the first power play for North Dakota, as he lit the home lamp just 45 seconds into the game after the team had earned a power play just 30 seconds after the opening faceoff.
North Dakota extended its lead to 2-0 in the first period at the 13:24 mark, when Corban Knight snuck a pass through two Badgers and found the stick of Joe Gleason who had an easy tap in and power-play score.
For the first time in 17 games, Wisconsin trailed by more than a goal, as North Dakota took a 2-0 and plenty of momentum off the ice with them and into the locker room to end the first period.
Michael Parks extended the North Dakota lead to 3-0 at the 8:17 mark of the second period, taking a feed on the backside, then beat Landon Peterson (Oregon, Wis.) for the score.
Earning the starting nod in back-to-back games on the weekend for the first time in his career, Peterson returned to net for Wisconsin. The sophomore recorded 25 saves, but faced off against an efficient North Dakota offense that was clicking all night, led by Parks.
Parks broke things open by scoring again at the 16:18 mark of the period, as he took an initial shot that was blocked by Peterson and wide, then wrapped around the back of the net and scored. Trailing 4-0, it was the first time all season Wisconsin had faced a four-goal deficit.
Mark Zengerle (Rochester, N.Y.) was able to break the shutout and get the Badgers on the board. As North Dakota goaltender Zane Gothberg went out to play the puck, Nic Kerdiles (Irvine, Calif.) made a nice play to steal the pass, then passed off to Joseph LaBate (Eagan, Minn.), who's shot was blocked, but Zengerle finished.
Losing by a three-goal margin for the first time this season, Wisconsin's WCHA unbeaten streak came to an end at 11 games (7-0-4).
The game marked the 163rd meeting Wisconsin and North Dakota and final regular-season matchup between the longtime rivals as members of the WCHA. Next season, Wisconsin will become a member of the Big Ten, while North Dakota will move to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference.
Wisconsin returns home next weekend looking to bounce back as it welcomes in Bemidji State to the Kohl Center. Opening faceoff is set for 7 p.m. (CT) next Friday.

|Works for me! Tips and techniques worth sharing
|Topic Review (Newest First)
side arm and base ball
I use the base ball annolgy to demonstrate the difference between a wrist flick, say from short stop to first base, and a throw from out field to home plate, I compare that to a 30 ft (or less) cast with a small fly to 75+ ft cast with a big fly.
In order to obtain that length of stroke, you have to side arm. the back cast anyway. Besides, your loop appears much tighter to some one else who is off to the side watchiing you.
Thanks for the words of encouragement Bob, I appreciate it. I've never watched any of the world's top casters in action (besides Mel Krieger and Geo. Roberts on video), so only know how to cast from being on the water with others, practicing, and reading up on the subject... it will be a long, long time before I think I reach anything near expert status.
As I had said previously, my casting stroke is waaay off-vertical, nearly to the point of side-arming. When I cast in this fashion, the loop in the line during the forward and back casts is very tight, and this is undoubtedly why I can attain relatively good distance with consistency. When I bring the cast up to nearly vertical (i.e. probably within 15 degrees of vertical), my loops are never as tight and I don't get the same distance as a result. This applies whether I'm double-haulinga, water-hauling, etc.
Now, I will say that I've always been able to throw footballs and baseballs farther and faster when going "side-arm", more than likely because my personal range of motion is better in that range of plane. I realize that throwing a ball may not be synonymous with casting (particularly from what Roberts has to say), but the point I'm trying to make is that I imagine that this "side-arming tendency" has some significant bearing on my casting stroke, and I would also imagine that each person has their own "comfort zone" that they will cast the most effectively within. Also, rod action probably enters into the equation to some extent.
|Bob Pauli
Flyfisha1: you are trolling for the holy grail of a v.long distance casting with a fly rod.
You found greater distance casting using an "off vertical" forward stroke, which you characterized as side armed. The world's experts agree with you.
The absolute authority and master of single hand casting, Joan
Wulff, uses a position named "off vertical" for making far far casts.
The off vertical positions opens your body to allow a full backstroke followed by a maximum length forward cast. The off vertical position keeps the line from hitting itself as well as offering the physical opportunity to propel the fly line the maximum distance because an open stance gives the caster a far great distance to cast.
I attended a Simon G class two years ago when he announced that "flat is good." Simon meant that keeping the forwared stroke flat, as opposed to vertical, a superior loop form will emerge, and an open stance made the flat stroke easier.
Dr. Way Yin and Mr. Steve Choate, world champions in 2003 in England, both use an open position [named "off vertical'] that gives them maximum forward and aft stroke distance, thus delivering maximum energy to the line. Again, Way and Steve make their casts by opening their body for a maximum cast effort.
It sounds like your observational skills will quickly lead you to expert level skill quickly.
Good luck, Bob P
|Greg Pavlov
|My guess is that when you cast sidearmed you mechanically correct a flaw that is present in your overhead casting.
|casting on a lawn is one thing, but for all the different situations out on the water, it is good to have a bag of tricks. For me, ultimate distance is not important, because when I am "covering water" I am usually fishing with heads. When acuracy(not spelling) counts. I cast as vertical as possible. What ever. If you can cast 95' and hit your target, I think you don't need to worry unless you were an instructor. When I'm casting to fish, I'm not thinking about my casting. If I miss, or can't get it there, then I think about my casting.
Maybe, just maybe....
Maybe I am dense. (My spouse would be the first to agree!)
But I learned to cast standard, sidearm, "to both sides of my body", cross body, face downstream then cast upstream, ad nauseum. I use these casts as conditions change, wind direction is "wrong", to cast under trees, and a variety of other reasons.
But it works, and catches fish! And if I ever need another cast in my game of tricks, I'll work on it.
You gotta be flexible if you wanna have fun!:hehe:
The best casts are "canted" to the outside but IMHO not sidearm. It introduces too much turbulence over the length of the total cast.
Even irregularity between the shape of the back cast loop causes resultant turbulence in the forward cast even if the first 70-80 feet is fully energized with good form going forward, the last portion of the cast will telegraph all of the shape transformation that the loop form went thru to get from back to front.
IMHO, the best medicine is to refine the best possible loop form with a comfortable arm angle keeping what I call the "driver" (portion of energized line from tip to wedge) tracking on a vector that is slightly closer to the caster than the "trailer" (the portion of line past the wedge that is coming along for the ride) and exactly 180 degrees from back to front. The less turbulence the better the cast.
Sure in practice throwing a longer side-armish stroke to poke a wedge into a tailwind is good fishing technique, but the best distance casting comes from clean technique in the ideal plane between vertical and horizontal.
Sidearm technique is something you'd consider for placement under obstructions or in some cases to tuck a cast under the wind; although I use line design and double haul energy with a lower directed stroke to achieve the same result. In saltwater I have found no need to resort to it in my experiences, your results may vary.
John - I think you're right about the 5 degree angle idea. For whatever reason, my overhead casts don't get near the distance that the side-arm casts do. It's a little easier for me to watch the back cast when I'm side-arming it, also, which may have some bearing on getting the line straightened, as you mention.
Sean - I should have said "casting" 95', not "shooting" 95', as you point out. Yeah, I wish I could shoot 95'... I'd be a casting instructor, in that case. BTW, I think you're right, also; I can get better range of motion on the side-arm cast, now that I think of it.
More travel?
I think it is because you are able to get more travel and therefore more load in the rod. When you cast vertically you are limited to more of the 10 and 2 casting style versus when you move to your cast to the side you are able to extend your arm back. I think both Lefty and George agree as does Jarowski, Sedotti etc... that the more distance you obtain in the casting stroke the more load you can achieve and therefore greater distance in the cast. All other things being equal.
Just out of curiousity, are you shooting 95' feet or is your total cast 95' (i.e. 40 feet of line out and shooting an additional 55') either is still impressive.
|John Desjardins
Gee to think I like it for the ability to keep the line close to the water casting under trees, and to throw a curve into the line by the fly.
Years ago I got a reprint of a series of his articles in On The Water from George Roberts. I don't know if it's in the video, but one picture from it sticks out in memory. It showed a forward cast with the line going up on an ~ 5 degree angle from the horizontal when casting for distance. Just one of those things thats stuck in the memory over the years.
Other than that I can only think of one of Leftys rules that the entire line has to be in motion before you can cast it. Maybe with a vertical stroke your not straightening out the back cast before starting the forward stroke?
|No, seriously, does anyone else find that they can cast longer distances with a side-arm cast than the "normal overhead"? I'm wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong with my overhead cast...
Lissen heah, Wiseguy
Whaddya think, anybody's gonna bite on that set-up question ??? If you're slingin' 95+' regularly, you don't need any help or suggestions
Side-arm casting stroke...
I was listening to George Roberts' "10 Steps to Distance and Power" video this evening while putting Perma-Gloss on my current rod project, and got to thinking about the way that I typically get the most distance out of my casts... and it's when I'm casting waaaay off-vertical, in fact the rod is nearly parallel with the plane of the water's surface during the entire cast. For some reason, I'm able to get a lot more line out that way; I think it might be because when I finish my forward casting stroke, the rod tip is actually higher off the water than it is at the conclusion of my back cast. So I'm not saying that this is "proper casting form", but I can shoot in the neighborhood of 95' in this manner. Does anyone have any similar experience, or can someone give me some pointers?

If the 6-inch tortillas you're using are thick, use one 15-ounce can plus one 8-ounce can tomato sauce. When arranging tortillas in dish, cut 2 in half to fit, overlapping only if necessary. Bake covered 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 20 to 25 minutes longer.
If you like your food a little spicy, turn up the heat by using Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers rather than the Colby-Monterey Jack.
While the casserole bakes, fill small bowls with salsa, sour cream and chopped avocado so everyone can dress up this casserole to his or her taste.

ask someone else and you'll be more fortunte, in Italy there are beekeepers that go far away with their bees to collect pollen or honey, do not give up, that's a good idea you had and giving space to bees is a winning move for us all

Wonderful news, id love to do the same, but just to let them do their thing without having to approach the hive, i would have to hire someone. I have two different families in the garden, one of which lives just in front of my bay window in the kitchen,
the baby bees are sceptic when they arrive and when i have changed something about, the table or chairs or even deplacing a bucket will cause a little chaos, they fly back and forth until they remember where they live, sometimes arriving on my kitchen floor too and they search about and head for outside.

Snakeheads (Again)
Science - AP
'Snakehead' Found in Wis.'s Rock River
Wed Sep 24, 2:19 PM ET
JANESVILLE, Wis. - A carnivorous alien fish known for its voracious appetite and ability to wriggle short distances on land has been found in southern Wisconsin's Rock River.
The discovery of the 2-foot-long giant snakehead by the state Department of Natural Resources marks the first time the species, a native of Asia, has been found in Wisconsin waters, where officials said it may not survive the winter cold.
"This was a real wake-up call," said Mike Staggs, director of fisheries at the DNR.
The giant snakehead can grow to more than three feet in length, and fish managers say that with no natural predator, it could change the local fish population and introduce new diseases.
A year ago, wildlife officials in Maryland killed six adult and more than 1,000 juvenile northern snakehead, a close relative to the giant snakehead, found in a pond.
The DNR found the giant snakehead during a routine fish survey of the Rock River Sept. 4.
The DNR said an employee misidentified the fish as a native bowfin. It was photographed and released before the DNR later concluded it was a snakehead.
Two crews were sent back to the river last Thursday and three more crews went back Tuesday to look for evidence of snakeheads but found none, Staggs said.
Staggs said the results indicate the fish does not appear to be widespread in the river, and the individual snakehead likely was released by a hobbyist after outgrowing an aquarium.
Releasing aquarium fish into the wild in Wisconsin is illegal.
It's unlikely the giant snakehead could survive the cold water of a Wisconsin winter, Staggs said.
Hey Mark,
This hits close to home, since I'm employed by the aquarium industry, and the snakeheads that are being found in US waters are certainly the result of hobbyists ridding themselves of a fish that has grown too large for their current aquarium set up. I was contacted about this issue when it hit the news in Maryland; did a phone interview for the Bassmaster newspaper that's published every couple of weeks.
Snakeheads are a tropcial family, hailing largely from Madagascar. In their home waters, they've ironically been hit pretty hard by the introduction of North American gamefish species such as largemouth bass. Anyone who has kept a snakehead in an aquarium for any length of time will tell you that it's a much more aggressive feeder than any of our native species, and that includes the pike family members, in my opinion. These fish are pike-like in body shape, with a mouth diameter roughly the same as the overall body diameter; they move very quickly in short bursts, having a semi-circular caudal fin shape which is more useful for maneuvering rather than sustained speed. I would think of them as a cross between a largemouth and a pike. These are tropical fish and as such the only way that they'll be able to survive the Winter is to be in an area where heated water enters the system, such as in the outflow of a power plant. Barring that or some similar scenario, those fish are dead as soon as the water temp drops much below 70. The fish grow very rapidly and given the majority of a warm season to exist in a body of water, one fish could do some pretty significant damage to the stock of forage fish and even smaller predatory species, as well as the young of those which grow to larger proportions.
The good news is that fish feed so aggressively and without regard, you could catch one easily with anything that remotely resembles a forage fish. In other words, I wouldn't rank them very high up on the scale of piscine intelligence, so they should be relatively simple to extract from a body of water. Additionally, these guys have the internal morphology of gars and bowfins, so they breathe air and typically hang out at the water's surface, making them easier to spot. Fish for them as you would for pike.
Aquarium hobbyists, I have found, are largely an irresponsible group of people when it comes to providing the proper care and thinking their decisions through regarding fish such as this one that can grow so quickly. Sale of snakeheads in the US should probably be banned, as such.
Thanks for the details. We kicked this around a while ago in another thread (bucket biology rears it's ugly head) about the time they were found in Maryland. From the sounds of their temperature requirements, it seems as if they wouldn't have fared well in Maryland either.
I was about to say something similar to Mark's comment.
Chris - where is it that the water temp dangers info comes from? I'm familiar with those fish from Southeast Asia, but don't remember anything in any news report or anecdotal side story about them being affected by water temp limits.
Add another question to DFix's psot
Are these critters likely to "adapt" to the colder temps over time?
Hey Guys,
Snakeheads (at least, the species that are kept in captivity by aquarium hobbyists in the US) are tropical fish and have a "comfort zone" of temperature between roughly 70 and 85 degrees; with sustained temperatures below 70 the immune system of the fish begins to fail, making it susceptible to parasite infestations (typically attacking the gills of most fish first, where the most oxygen is present, though in the case of snakeheads, being air-breathers, I can't say whether or not this is the case). The colder the temps and the longer the exposure, the faster the fish dies. It takes many, many generations for a species to be able to adapt to new environmental conditions, as fundamental changes in morphology may be required to cope. That being the case, unless these invading species are able to locate the required water temps throughout the colder months, as well as a source of food, they're extremely unlikely to survive long, particularly now that the cold weather has begun to settle in across the upper states. Addditionally, the fact that the fish must surface to breathe means that any "invaded" bodies of water that freeze completely over are essentially safe, since the fish aren't likely to develop the ability to breathe through gills over the period of a few weeks.
Snakeheads are indigenous to China and Madagascar, as well as other areas throughout Southeast Asia; I'd be worried about the fish if I lived in the southern-most states of the US, but probably no where north of the latitude of Tampa unless the local water has a hot spring or power plant effluent draining in.
Oh, and the reason that there have been few, if any, reports stating that the fish will die in cold weather is that traditionally, it's the procedure of the twits in the news media to blow everything out of proportion before they know all the facts; this is one case where ichthyologists and aquarium hobbyists all over the US were laughing at the supposed "experts" in the fish and wildlife divisions. While I support the claim that these fish can cause significant damage to a fishery by outcompeting native gamefish species for prey (as well as directly eating the gamefish, themselves), I also believe that the fish that have invaded the waters of the Northern US will be dead very shortly.
Below is some snakehead info from US Fish & Wildlife. It appears that at least one species can live under ice (end of second paragraph). The full document is here. It's a real snoozer. http://policy.fws.gov/library/02fr62193.html
Two larger snakehead species, Channa marulius and C. maruloides, superficially resemble the native bowfin, Amia calva, in that all three are elongated fishes, have long dorsal fins, tubular nostrils, and an ocellus (eyespot) at the base of the upper portion of the caudal fin. The bowfin, however, has its pelvic fins in a more abdominal rather than thoracic or anterior-abdominal position, and the anal fin is not elongated. Moreover, the bowfin does not have a rosette (circular arrangement) of enlarged scales on top of the head.
Species and species complexes of the genus Channa are native from southeastern Iran and eastern Afghanistan eastward through Pakistan, India, southern Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Sumatra, Indonesia, and China northward into Siberia. Of the currently recognized 25 species of Channa, 9 species and representatives of 4 species complexes occur in peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and/or Indonesia. Of the same 25 species, 16 species and members of 5 species complexes are tropical to subtropical; members of three species complexes are temperate; and one species is temperate to
boreal and can live beneath ice in the northern portion of its range.
The three species of Parachanna are native to Africa and are tropical. Snakeheads are considered as non-ostariophysan primary freshwater fishes (Mirza, 1975, 1995), meaning they have little or no tolerance for seawater. Habitat preferences vary by species or species complex, with a majority occurring in streams and rivers. Others occur in swamps, rice paddies, ponds, and ditches. All can tolerate hypoxic (low oxygen) conditions because they are airbreathers from late juvenile stages. Where known, pH range varies by species with one (Channa
bankanensis) preferring highly acidic (pH 2.8-3.8) waters. At least
three species are tolerant of a wide pH range; C. gachua, C. punctata, and C. striata survived for 72 hours at pH levels ranging from 4.25 to
9.4 (Varma, 1979).
It great to get valid scienctific reviews about these critters. My contribtion to their eradication will be to send as many "Alberta Clippers" down East this winter as is possible. Humanoids however will need a lot of warm clothes, snow shovels, and such .......
It seems as if the snakeheads found in Maryland were rather fond of the Old Line State's climate. Or at least comfortable enough to "pump out" a couple of thousand offspring. We have even had a number of pirahana caught in our local waters.(I am not talking about ponds but large brackish rivers.) The neat and or scary part of the story is that in theory they could actually survive our winters due to the availability of warm water discharges in the area.
i live within an hours drive of the rock and i am pretty sure if what you guys say about temp that the fish will die off in the winter if not the DNR will do their best i have good confidence in WI DNR
Just to toss in my $00.02.
I also have been employeed in the aquarium idustry at the retail end so I can vouch for the claim that too many in the pet hobbies are irresponsible. The exotic invasives in southern Florida are a case in point. The number of exotic fish, reptiles and birds found in Florida is staggering and growing all the time. I'm refering to reproducing populations, not just your average stray. Many, if not most are released by pet owners. The only reason it is not more widespread in the US is climate.
That mitigating factor becomes moot when temporate species become popular pets. Many states are now passing or trying to pass laws banning specific animals deemed able to reproduce in a temporate climate. Personally, I'm not a big fan of more regulations, but what other option is there? Ironically, many states have F&G regs which prohibit collection of non-game native species thereby preventing concerned hobbiests from keeping only those animals native to their state, regardless of how abundant and secure a given population may be. Kind of a Catch 22.
So what's the answer? Don't know. On one hand, better education of pet hobbiests might prevent some problems. Unfortunately, mis-information or total lack of information is the norm. One need only visit the fish department of any of the supermarket chain type pet stores and ask the teenage clerk a few questions. No help there!
On the other hand, promoting the collecting and culture of secure, abundant native species would at least slow down the importation of exotics. Unfortunately, that is a concept which is generally viewed in a dim light by most state DMR - F&G types. To me, that's the ultimate irony. Think about it - what group of people in the history of this country have been responsible for the introduction of the most exotic species? F&G of course! I defy anyone to find a body of fresh water anywhere in the northeast which does not contain an introduced species! Brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill, northern pike etc etc. Our tax dollars and license fees have paid for those exotic introductions and I rarely hear anyone complain!
Oh, and for what it's worth, I've delt with various species of snakehead in the past. One thing is for sure - they are almost industructable! They certainly CAN "breath" air in the traditional fish way, via their gills. The fact that they can also take atmospheric air from the surface means they can live in degraded, oxygen poor, polluted waters which would kill most other fish. Also, I have known them to be kept for years in unheated room temp tanks in New England so a low end temp of 70 F is pretty optimistic. Personally, I'd place it at least 10 degrees lower, if not more.

Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.
Vampire Dragons are members of the undead. They sustain themselves by drinking the blood of others. It is said that they are only "alive" at night, and seem dead or asleep during the day, as they cannot endure sunlight for long periods of time. Vampire Dragons can only reproduce by changing the eggs of other dragons, puncturing the shell with their fangs and injecting venom that kills the baby inside.

The Age of Cognac
A Cognac may only be soldy when its youngest eau-de-vie reaches a minimum of two and a half years old, as of the first day of October following the harvest of the grapes.
Only the years of storage in oak barrels count to determine its age.
Once transferred into glass, the Cognac stops maturing . It stands still.
V.S (for Very Special) , also called *** (or Three Stars) is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least two and a half years old.
V.S.O.P ( for Very Superior Old Pale) , also called Reserve, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is between four and a half and six and a half years old.
XO (for Extra Old ) , Napoléon, also called Hors d'âge, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least six and a half years old.
Most Cognac houses will use Cognacs much older than those required by law, allowing X.Os to reach a minimum of twenty years old, in order to reveal their very best.
Rémy Martin - Louis XIII
The creation of the Louis XIII cognac in 1874 is in no way a coincidence.
