OK Leland & Juro - time to fess up ... what's the scoop on the Pacifica?!! I saw the thread on WAFlyfishers, and I'm sure there are more than a few interested folks!
This is an ongoing project but currently shifted out by several other projects in queue - not because we aren't psyched up for it but because there is more going on right now in R&D than we can handle in the Spey front alone!
However we are in final production of a lightweight IM8 11ft'er that throws 9/10wt shooting heads to 115-125ft without much trouble for reaching cruising coho and fishing along kelp lines from shore. It's light enough to get a good battle from a resident coho but also tough enough not to have to break off a fall king just to save your flyline like a 6wt.
This is the Atlantis All-around, 11ft 3-pc 9/10wt two-hand IM8. It weighs just over 7 oz despite the overhead casting flora cork handle, Fuji hard chrome SiC strippers and titanium frame tip guide.
I will be sending some out to shops in the Seattle area in late August - early September with plenty of time to catch the migration. Just please use the big Atlantis for chum
So far my favorite setup has been an airflo 10wt 35ft shooting head on a slick shooter running line - this setup goes a l-o-n-g way but the rod is light and even smaller fish are good sport.
Additional saltwater two-handers are in the plan, of which one is more suited to cutthroats and resident coho in a 7/8 weight range. This is the one I assume you are referring to. It will not be completed until 2005 due to the number of irons we have in the fire currently.
Prototypes will be available earlier, Leland will be field testing ahead of final production.
Thanks for the inquiry.
Thanks. Can't wait to check 'em out! Will be hard to choose. I think most of the year, the smaller version would serve us up well, but come fall with the migratory fish returning, the bigger stick sounds like ticket. choices, choices....
Keep us posted on the progress.
Please do not leave out the BC market.
A few guys have building their own customs for this application. IMO this idea is over due for the Island beach guys.
Cheers N I

Forgive my ignorance, but when you mention throwing heads 115- 125ft are you talking overhead casting; not speycasting from the beach are you? What shops in Seattle will have the first of these?
Sirfishalot -
Yes, these rods are specifically made for overhead casting and are just 11ft long but with a handle that really puts the line into play. 115-125ft is a common distance with the lighter of the two models dubbed the "All-around" while the larger rod, the Surf-tamer has thrown well over 150ft in capable hands.
All-around 11ft 9/10wt WF (spey equiv. 6/7wt) just over 7oz
Surf-tamer 11ft 11/12wt WF (spey equiv 8/9wt) just over 8oz
Both IM8 exclusive aerospace graphite with premium components from a solid titanium frame on the SiC tip down to the hard chrome Fuji SiC strippers and Flora cork. Each rod has an accurate fish ruler on the blank for inspiration, the Surf-tamer boasts a 42" measure so think big.
You may be aware that tournament two-handed rods have thrown over 250 ft but they are hardly fishable, they weigh a ton and are as long as telephone poles. Atlantis rods provide a compromise between a distinct casting advantage and practical all-day fishability in their lightweight power.
They are made for overhead casting, but just as spey casting rods will overhead cast these rods do throw tight little spey casts with the right lines, I favor the Scandinavian lines and casting stroke with these 11ft IM8 rods because they are quite fast because of the overhead design. The Hardy Mach I and short spey lines are quite nice on these rods and I prefer this length and power for big strong fish like chinook and chum over the longer spey casting tools more fit for steelhead and atlantic salmon. So they double as a big salmon river rod with more ability to move and steer those buses.
Sean, our webmaster is frequently using the Surf-tamer on Puget Sound and can throw a laser loop for the distances we mention on the board. He is first on the list for the lighter model when the shipment arrives so you might hook up with him on the beach to have a test drive sometime.

7/8 saltwater spey for sea trout
A saltwater spey for 7/8 - sounds good for our seatrout fishing in the Baltic Sea.
Saltwater fly fishing for seatrout (sea running browns) from Baltic Sea shores is very popular in Germany, Denmark and Sweden. Today you see very less fishermen with double handers here but with the threads about the Atlantis 1111 in mind a light line double hander should be perfect. The fish are usually between 2 and 6 lbs with few much more up to 20lbs. And it's often search fishing with a lot of casting. Although you can hook good fish just in front of your feet longer casts are not a disadvantage. We use mainly single handers from 6/7 to 8/9. A 6/7 is perfect for most of the fish if there wouldn't be always the fight against the wind. For lines I think swimming and slow intermediate shooting heads are the most popular. Although I never fished for cutthroats in the salt I think it is very similar to the fishing I talked about.
I'm more than interested to give a 7/8 saltwater spey a try for seatrout fishing in Europe. The best season starts in march. So, Juro, when do you think the 7/8 will be available in 2005?
Thanks for your interest. I hope we can finish this project ASAP, although Nobuo-san will never release a rod before it's completely finished and tested throughly in the field.
The 9/10wt is an AFTMA 9/10, thus a 6/7/8 spey in power. It offers quite a sporty battle with even moderate sized fish. I will have more info after the Denver Trade show
Saltwater Spey Casting for Coho on Puget Sound Tidal Currents
Is anyone out there speycasting saltwater shore tidal currents for cohos or cutthroats?
I just got started spey casting with lessons from David Steinbaugh of Waterswest Fly Shop in Port Angeles WA. He taught me on the Elwha River on the Olympic Peninsula. But since no rivers are close to my home, I've been practicing at Point-No-Point Lighthouse in Hansville WA on tidal currents.
I notice that if I wait for mid-tide levels when the currents are stronger, I can get a pretty effective Snake Roll Cast going for a 90 degree cast away from shore. And it's about the same effort as river spey casting.
I could use a normal cast here as well, but mostly I just want to practice these right angle spey casts with my 13 foot St Croix 7 WT rod and RIO system lines.
I'd like to chat with anyone who has had more experience with this than I.
I do limited spey casting in the salt but mainly to setup overhead casts on my two hand overhead rods.
As you PNP is a great place to fish for migrating coho and you are sure to have a blast come august.
There are a few of us out there waving long rods but only a handful. Mattzoid on this fourm is another guy who fishes two handers off the beach. I am sure he will chime in soon.
Welcome to the forum!
I'm of the opinion that speycasting from the beach is the most inefficient way to utilize a long rod on our beaches. I believe you must use a two-handed overhead cast with a short shooting head. The long rod will keep the line off our sloped beaches and you will be able to fish through all but the highest incoming tides. And best of all, the shooting head will only need one short backcast letting you clear the driftwood piles, trees and bluffs on our beaches.
I am working on such a setup now.
Leland -
Sounds interesting!
If I could offer one piece of advice, try the new Rio Outbound saltwater line. I've been testing it with phenomenal results in the bigger weights on the surf-tamer but it also comes in the light grain weights you use for finesse fishing in the sound for searun trout (and everything in between).
Greg and I could not get the setup out of Simon's hands on the beach last weekend.

Saltwater Spey Casting for Coho on Puget Sound Tidal Currents
Thanks for the welcome and the responses. I'm arranging to have Troy Dettman of Northwest Angler Fly Shop hold a shore casting clinic on Bainbridge Island for KFA members sometime soon. Maybe we'll try some of these techniques. Keep the good stuff coming!

I bought the CND Atlantis 1109 for the Puget Sound beaches last fall for the Coho run and had Sparky build me a great shooting head system. I am still working to master the rods full capabilities but I am really excited for the beach action this fall.
Good fishing, Steve Rohrbach
We haven't received our order of Outbounds for Kaufmann's from Rio yet. But I'm sure they will be perfect.

The TAP Alliance website has gone live at www.tapintoindustry.com.
The three-county economic development collaboration of Tishomingo, Alcorn and Prentiss counties has taken another major step to showcase available industrial sites and attract site consultants for in-person visits.
"We're using Google Analytics to help us track which pages are looked at," said Gary Chandler, president of The Alliance economic development organization in Corinth. "Their data tells us how many times the site is accessed, who is looking at the data and in some instances what sector is looking."
Each county's lead economic development officer – Chandler, Gary Matthews of Tishomingo County and Leon Hayes of Prentiss County – each will receive the same website data each month and evaluate what the feedback means.
"It's very comprehensive information and we feel it will be very helpful," Chandler said.
Along with prepping various industrial sites in the three counties, creating the website was a key recommendation made by Boyette Strategic Advisors in the TAP Alliance five-year economic development study.
Website developer Kathy Jacobs of Starkville has broad experience in designing sites for economic development organizations, including The Alliance and the Prentiss County Development Association.
In addition to showcasing a new logo for the organization, the website links to the Mississippi Development Authority's LOIS – LocationOne Information System – site selection program and the TVA site database.

Well, just like we all predicted, Lion Fight 12 made a big impression on AXS TV with some really entertaining fights tonight. We saw a Welterweight Champion crowned, we got to see Tiffany Van Soest once again show why she's one of the best female fighters we've ever seen and hell, we even got to see an elbow KO. Elbow KOs are a thing of beauty and somewhat unique to the sport of Muay Thai, which makes it a thing of beauty when it happens.
So here are the quick and dirty results as well as a highlight from AXS TV.
- Lion Fight Welterweight Title: Fabio Pinca (R5 - UD) Malaipet
- Tiffany Van Soest (R3 - TKO) Magali Foroni

Dhuhr (noon): After the day's work has begun, one breaks shortly after noon to again remember God and seek His guidance.
'Asr (afternoon): In the late afternoon, people are usually busy wrapping up the day's work, getting kids home from school, etc. It is an important time to take a few minutes to remember God and the greater meaning of our lives.
Maghrib (sunset): Just after the sun goes down, Muslims remember God again as the day begins to come to a close.
'Isha (evening): Before retiring for the night, Muslims again take time to remember God's presence, guidance, mercy, and forgiveness.

Spider "realvoice" Vertical in the Ear Headphone
" First off the disclaimer, the Realvoice IEM'S were given to me a month or two back for reviewing. I would like to thank Spider Cable for the review sample and my apologies for taking so long in writing this review.

" These IEMs have an MRSP of $40. For that price they are not worth it. However, in many discount places, especially in Canada, you may find these @ $15 or less. If you find them for this price, grab them. I personally paid $10. Sound is great for the price. They look very rugged and feel solid, I believe they are made from aluminum.

Two-Thirds of Wisconsin Public-School 8th Graders Cant Read ProficientlyDespite Highest Per Pupil Spending in Midwest
Tuesday, February 22, 2011
By Terence P. Jeffrey
(CNSNews.com) - Two-thirds of the eighth graders in Wisconsin public schools cannot read proficiently according to the U.S. Department of Education, despite the fact that Wisconsin spends more per pupil in its public schools than any other state in the Midwest.
In the National Assessment of Educational Progress tests administered by the U.S. Department of Education in 2009the latest year availableonly 32 percent of Wisconsin public-school eighth graders earned a proficient rating while another 2 percent earned an advanced rating. The other 66 percent of Wisconsin public-school eighth graders earned ratings below proficient, including 44 percent who earned a rating of basic and 22 percent who earned a rating of below basic.

Family: Serranidae, Sea Basses view all from this family
Description The Kelp Bass (Paralabrax clathratus), sometimes referred to as the Calico Bass (leading to easy confusion with the freshwater fishes from the genus Pomoxis), is a species of marine fish found in the north-eastern Pacific Ocean from Baja California, Mexico, to Washington, USA (although rare in the northernmost part of its range). As suggested by its common name, it is typically associated with kelp beds, but may also be found in rocky areas or near hard structures. It prefers relatively shallow water, but may occur as deep as 165 ft (50 m).
It can reach a length of 28O inches (72 cm), and, being a slow grower, live for as much as 34 years. It is considered an excellent food fish, and is a popular recreational fishery species in Southern California. While the population is believed to be stable, large individuals are relatively rare due to fishing pressure. Commercial fishing for this species has been illegal since the 1950s. Current regulations in California allow only 12 inch or longer kelp basses to be kept by recreational fishermen.
It feeds on small fishes, squid, crustaceans, and, when abundant, plankton. During the warmer months (May to August in California), Kelp Basses form spawning groups in deeper water. After 1–2 days, the pelagic eggs hatch into larvae, which metamorph into juveniles after approximately a month. The juveniles settle among blades of kelp. Kelp Bass have been known to bite at humans, which can break the skin, but does not usually cause severe puncture wounds. This may be more frequent when the fish are spawning.
Dimensions Up to 28" (71 cm).
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows, Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Tidepools.
Range California, Northwest.

Family: Percidae, Perches and Darters view all from this family
Description The sauger (Sander canadensis) is a freshwater perciform fish of the family Percidae which resembles its close relative the walleye. They are members of the largest vertebrate order, Perciforms. They are the most migratory percid species in North America. Saugers obtain two dorsal fins, the first is spiny and the posterior dorsal fin is a soft-rayed fin. Their paired fins are in the thoracic position and their caudal fin is truncated which means squared off at the corners, a characteristic of the Percidae family. Another physical characteristic of Saugers are their Ctenoid scales which is common in advanced fishes. Saugers have a fusiform body structure, and as a result saugers are well adapted predatory fishes and are capable of swimming into fast currents with minimal drag on their bodies. They may be distinguished from walleyes by the distinctly spotted dorsal fin, by the lack of a white splotch on the caudal fin, by the rough skin over their gill, and by their generally more brassy color, or darker (almost black) color in some regions. The average sauger in an angler's creel is 300 to 400 g (0.75 to 1 lbs) in weight but the world record was 8.1 kg (17 lbs, 12 ounces.)
Dimensions Up to 28" (71 cm); 8 3/4 lbs (4 kg).
Habitat Lakes & ponds, Rivers & streams.
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Eastern Canada, Western Canada.

When looking for that perfect puppy, make sure to take the time and check out everything from your breeder. They should be willing to offer you advise and answer any questions you have. Tell the breeder you want to know about the puppies parents and pedigree. What screening has been done on the parents and if there have been any tests done on the puppies.....
Remember that Bulldogs and heat do not mix well so make your Bullie an inside dog and see to it he has all his new toys, crate,collar and anything else he needs ready for him.
Did you know that the AKC registers over 140 dog breeds and that the Bulldog has been in the top 40 every year? In the past 25 years (1973 thru 1998), there were 234,600 Bulldogs registered with the AKC. In 1973, there were 6,608 registered compared to the #1 registered breed of that year (the Poodle) with 28,899 registered. In 1998 there were 13,836 Bulldogs registered compared to 157,936 Labrador Retrievers in the same year.
When getting food bowls for your bullie, invest in solid heavy duty stainless steel bowls. They will reduce the rash and redness from the bullies face, can be cleaned easily, and provide a much better feeding and watering system than plastic.
Bulldogs get along great with other pets and children as a general rule. They enjoy a soft couch and a belly rub, love and attention. Bulldogs have a gentle beauty in them and I know of no other breed that can offer the love and devotion that a Bulldog can. Bulldog owners are special people who really are concerned about this breed and its future.
You should consider joining the Bulldog Club of America and your local Bulldog club as well. They can help you in locating a good Bulldog vet which is very important. Bulldogs need a vet who has expertise with this breed to safely meet their needs. Bulldogs are not your average dog when it comes to their health care and well being.
Get a good Bulldog book or two and start reading about the breed as there are many great books out there that are an asset to read and own.
New Bulldog Owners Guide
First of all you will need a place your new puppy can call his own.You may want to purchase a crate two feet by three feet. Purchase one that has a place to hang water and food bowls. The crate will be used to housebreak your puppy, a safe place for your puppy when you are away, and a place for your puppy to sleep. The choice is up to you, and you know best on what kind of schedule you will be keeping. If you don't want a crate for your new puppy a nice doggie bed will do just fine as long as you are still able to confine you puppy.
You will want to feed your new bulldog puppy food four times a day until he is three months of age, from three to six months of age feed three times a day, from six to twelve months of age feed two times a day, when your Bully is one year old feed once or twice a day. Switch your Bulldog to adult dog food at 10-12 months of age. Always have plenty of water available for your Bulldog all the time. Feed your new puppy dog food that is all natural. DO NOT FEED SOY! Some Bulldogs are allergic to soy. When soy filler is mixed with water it will expand and can cause gastric tortion that may be fatal to your Bulldog. Follow the amount recommended on the bag of food and adjust it to your feeding schedule.
All new puppies will chew on most anything. Purchase safe chew toys for your puppy. These toys should be almost indestructible.You will want to teach your new puppy what he is allowed to chew on. Never buy your puppy any toy he can swallow or get stuck in his throat. Nylon chew toys are safe and are available at most all pet stores. Chew toys will help in your Bully's dental hygiene. Don't give your bulldog puppy rawhide sticks, pig ears and pig hooves these are not safe chew toys.
Your crate will be your aid in housebreaking your Bully. Put your puppy in the crate when you are not home and to sleep in during the night. As soon as your puppy is let out of its crate take it outside and do not allow it to come back in until it goes. (A little praise goes a long way) Most all dogs will not soil where they sleep if they are left out often enough.
OVER HEATING Bulldogs overheat easily. This can be from the temperture, excitement, exercise, or stress. Bulldogs can die from heat exhaustion. Whenever you and your Bulldog are out in warm weather take water with you. If you are going to be out for a while take along ice and lemon juice. If your Bulldog begins to overheat and starts to bring up phlegm you must act quickly to cool him down. Get your bully out of the heat. Squirt lemon juice in his mouth to clear away the phlegm. Put a wet towel on him and keep him calm. If your Bulldog goes down from heat exhaustion, and his tongue turns blue. Wet him with cold water or cool him with ice. Lay him in ice or cool water if you can. You must bring his body temperture down.
VOMITING Bulldogs who have elongated palates and sometimes vomit or bring up phlegm This is normal . If your Bulldog is doing it constantly when he is not overheated or excited consult your Vet.
SWIMMING Bulldogs are not natural swimmers. Never leave your Bulldog unattended near water.
POISONS Antifreeze,chocolate, onions,certain lawn chemicals,rodenticides,certain plants,etc.
FACE WRINKLES Keep you Bully's wrinkles clean and dry. Wipe all of the folds on his face with a wet towel, then dry them really good. Once they're nice and dry, sprinkle in some gold bond medicated powder and he's all done.
VACCINATIONS Your new puppy will require an initial series of four vaccinations. Yearly boosters are required after the initial series. Follow your veterinarians recommendations, Your Vet will tell you what the State Law is requiring rabies vaccination.

Several of you have asked about the ram in my avatar. Below is a copy of a pm I sent to Bon after he asked about it. I was fortunate to spend 21 years in Alaska and have the opportunity to hunt most of what the state had to offer. I was also fortunate to have good hunting partners and we did our hunts self guided.
My hunting partner and I drew tags for the Tok Management area. One of the most popular and desirable sheep tags in Alaska. We flew out of Tok, Alaska in Super Cubs and landed on the gravel bed of One of the local rivers. From there, we hiked 14 hours up a creek into a beautiful valley. Just the two of us. We saw moose, caribou, grizzly bears, black bears, wolverine and of course Dall Sheep. Had one grizzly come within 20 yards of camp, stand on his hind legs and woof at us like a dog!
The sheep hunting was fun. We were at a bit of a disadvantage due to the steepness of the mountains on both sides of the valley. The sheep could see us coming from both directions. We had to hike down the valley out of sight, then up and to the sheep. The weather was crazy with constant fog rolling in and out causing us to lose sight of the animals we were stalking... I ended up blowing a stalk for the largest ram I have ever seen. I got within 40 yards of him without even knowing it! When the fog lifted, I was looking down the valley from a ledge and my buddy was saying Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! I'm looking all around and don't see anything. Finally I look straight across and see the ram looking me right in the eyes just as he bailed off the other side of the ledge he was on! Wow!
Saw him again later! Massive!
The weather turned crappy again, so we took shelter in a little cave and ate lunch and tried to dry out a little. After a few minutes, I started getting antsy, so I told my buddy Dave I was going to take a hike a little higher up the mountain (we were nearly at the top then). I had only gone a short ways when I peek over into a big rocky bowl and across the bowl about 450 yards I see a ram. The wind is blowing pretty good so I decide to get a little closer when the fog rolls in. The rocks are noisy, but the sheep are used to that. So I go a little ways and the fog starts lifting. I stop and get down, the ram is still there 400 yards. Fog comes back in, I move. 350 yards.... Fog lifts, I get down. Get my gun ready. Ram still there. Asleep.
I wait for what seems like an eternity as the fog rolls in and out a few more times and eventually the fog lifts and the ram is standing! Alright! 300 Win Mag. Does the job. I have my Dall Sheep. Way more gun than you need for sheep, but in Alaska, one has other things to consider... My buddy hears the shot and comes trudging up the hill and we hike over to the ram together.
It is dark by the time we are making our way down off the mountain in the rain with heavy packs of meat, hide and horn. We stumble, fall and slip on the wet rocks, mud, moss etc.. We fall in the creek because our legs are like rubber from the climb and descent!
We finally make it back to the tent along the stream bank somewhere around 10pm. Both wet tired and cold. Funny the two opposite reactions we had upon arrival at the tent. We put our gear and meat away. Got out of our wet clothes and then Dave went straight for the food. He sounded like the Tazmanian Devil ripping open packages and devouring anything and everything he could get his hands on! It was almost comical!
Myself, on the other hand... I put on dry long johns and crawled into my sleeping bag and just got warm. Drank some water, but just wanted to get warm and rest.
The next day, thankfully was sunny! We hung out at camp taking care of meat and hide. We hunted for another week, but Dave did not kill a ram on that trip.
The hike out of the valley was just as rough as the hike in, except that it was DOWN the valley!! Fun trip!
Thanks for asking, it brought back some great memories!

The specific carving with longitudinal and transverse grooves enables excellent expulsion of water from the tread in contact with the ground and reduces to the minimum the possibility of aquaplaning. The connection between the longitudinal and the curved transverse channels enables the expulsion of water both at the front – through the large longitudinal channels – and at the sides – by means of the curved transverse channels – which collect the water from the central areas of the footprint and convey it outwards, discharging it at the sides of the contact patch. Compared with slicks, thanks to the choices of external profile and structure, the Rain tyres have a larger footprint in the direction of movement to increase the resistance to aquaplaning.
The markings that appears on the side of the tyres also tells us the basic size of the tyre, the rim diameter and the width of the rim.
We will illustrate how to read two different types of branding that may appear on the side of the tyres.
C: Nominal section width expressed in mm - 190
D: Nominal external diameter expressed in mm - 580
d: Nominal rim diameter of the rim, expressed in inches - 15
C: Nominal section width expressed in mm - 315
h/C: Tyre's technical series. This expresses the ration between the section height (in mm) and the nominal section width (in mm) - 30
Radial construction - ZR
d: Nominal rim diameter of the rim, expressed in inches - 18
The tyres are described by two letters, for example: DH
The first defines the type of tread:
D - dry (for use on dry roads)
W - wet (for use on wet roads)
The second letter defines the hardness of the final compound used, that may be:
Make sure that tyres are fitted by experts, with specialised dedicated machinery and equipment, who follow safety procedures.
Before mounting the tyres clean the surface of the beads and the area of the rim that comes into contact with the tyre.
Use ONLY special tyre lubricants for mounting tyres. Do NOT use silicone or petroleum lubricants.
Check the state of the valves to prevent air loss: Check the seals and the tightness for metal ones and check also for any tears or cracks in rubber seals. If necessary, replace them. When the tyre is being used, always use the valve cover top.
Follow the indications provided on the sidewall of the tyre referring to the rolling direction and the correct positioning of the internal and external sidewalls, if specified.
Use the safety cage when inflating tyres.
Before unseating the tyre from the rim during disassembly, make sure that the tyre has been fully deflated, removing the inner valve mechanism.
Temperatures measured on the tread are an excellent indicator for deciding the best choice of final compound and for optimising corneradjustments of the vehicle, such as camber and convergence.
We recommend measuring the temperature at three different points: Inner (innermost side of the vehicle), centre, outer tread.
In particular, average temperatures must be the ones shown in the table, the difference between the values measured internally, in the centre and externally must be maximum 20°, while the difference between the front and rear axles must be no more than 25°. If these values are exceeded, we recommend a different final compound should be used or the vehicle's geometry should be adjusted.
Working pressure values depend on the size of the tyre in relation to the load that it is subjected to.
In other words, the pressure will vary according to the type of vehicle, its weight, the position of the engine, the aerodynamics and the conditions of use.
As the weight of the vehicle, the aerodynamic load, speed and acceleration that the tyre is subjected to increase, the working pressure must be increased.
Generally speaking, "heated up" working pressures vary from 1.9 to 2.2 bar for GT cars and 2.0 to 2.5 bar for tourism cars. Initial inflation pressures vary in order to obtain these values, depending on whether the tyres are preheated or used "cold".
Indeed, preheated tyres can be inflated to lower values than cold tyres. The difference may amount to 0.3 to 0.5 bar, depending on the type of heater, the time it remains and the environmental conditions.
In any case, tyres should never be used below the minimum pressure value of 1.6 bar.
Attention: Using excessively low pressures would bring about the breaking of the tyre due to excess force on the sidewall and bead unseating from the rim.
The use of nitrogen or dry air to inflate the tyres means that the variation in pressure, as the temperature increases due to use, is limited, meaning greater precision in deciding optimal conditions of use.

Guy B. Marquand, Jr., who made this picture on a mountain road near here, says the object above the skyline is a "flying saucer." Marquand claims that he and two friends saw the object fly past at a very high rate of speed, and when it came back, he had his camera ready to make the picture.
Further info from UFOs at Close Sight website:
Guy B. Marquand, Jr. of Riverside, California, submitted this as a bonafide UFO on November 23, 1951. Interviewed March 24, 1952 by the Air force, Marquand admitted that the whole thing was a hoax. He said it started out as a gag which got out of control when press took over. The object was tire cover from 1937 Ford.
Interestingly, the hoaxed photographed has been presented again decades later by the controversial Colonel Philip Corso in his Roswell fantasy book as the first of a series of "true" UFO photographs

Here are a couple of updates:
Here are a couple
Most are just shots of the various materials being used. (Lights, wire loom, plastic shampoo bottles, dowels, misc toy accessories etc. The light shot is of the generators I am building, they will have green LED lights in the end. The shot with the dowels is part of the X-Wing transom I'm constructing. I've also started on the various levels of the base. i.e. command center, bar, & medical bay). The elevator is pretty much done & the catwalks are ready to be assembled. (waiting on some more parts). Most of it looks like a garbled mess right now, & detailing is so far away that I'm not even thinking about that right now. Cheers for now .

By The Associated Press
HATTIESBURG — Southern Mississippi's post players aren't particularly tall and don't have many polished moves around the rim.
They make up for it by being tenacious. In this game, that was good enough.
Dwayne Davis and Jerrold Brooks scored 13 points apiece, Jonathan Mills added 10 points and eight rebounds, and Southern Mississippi beat Louisiana Tech 63-52 on Monday night in the second round of the NIT.
Southern Miss outscored Louisiana Tech 44-22 in the paint, punishing Louisiana Tech under the basket with crisp passing and offensive rebounding. The Golden Eagles advance to the NIT quarterfinals and will host BYU on Wednesday.
"We started the game the right way and we had a great energy level," Southern Miss coach Donnie Tyndall said. "We forced a few shots early, but for the most part we took care of the ball and fed the post. We didn't settle for contested shots."
Southern Miss (27-9) led for nearly the entire game and by double-digits for much of the second half. Reserve Rashard McGill added 10 points. The Golden Eagles had a 41-34 rebounding advantage.
Raheem Appleby scored 17 points to lead Louisiana Tech (27-7). The Bulldogs won 18 straight games earlier in the season, but lost four of their last five. Louisiana Tech shot just 19 of 54 (35.2 percent) from the field.
Southern Miss threatened to run away early, jumping out to a 33-16 lead with 4:04 left in the first half after Brooks hit a jumper. The Golden Eagles were forcing Louisiana Tech out of its preferred fast-break tempo and into half-court sets, which slowed the Bulldogs' normally prolific offense.
"They've got some good guards," Brooks said. "We knew if we could slow them down, we could slow their team down. That was the plan and we executed it."
Southern Miss' big first half run was even more impressive considering its best players weren't on the court. Davis — the team's leading scorer — missed much of the first half after picking up three fouls while forward Daveon Boardingham was battling a sore knee and barely played.
"Everybody had to step up and pick up a load," Mills said. "Other guys just made plays."
Louisiana Tech eventually fought back, going on an 11-0 late run to cut the lead to 35-27 by halftime.
Alex Hamilton led the Bulldogs with 13 first-half points and finished with 15. Mills scored all of his 10 points in the first half.
Southern Miss was the aggressor again early in the second half, picking apart Louisiana Tech's defense with quick passes that led to easy buckets. McGill's layup gave Southern Miss a 52-37 lead with 12:11 remaining. The Bulldogs made a few small runs after that, but could never mount a serious challenge.
"We really struggled against their unique zone defense and turned the ball over 18 times," Louisiana Tech coach Michael White (a former Ole Miss player and assistant coach) said. "That just didn't give us a very good chance."
Louisiana Tech beat Southern Miss 65-55 on Dec. 8 in a nonconference game. The two teams will be conference rivals next season since Louisiana Tech is joining Conference USA.

LOL - half scalpers and half fans .
However, it does amaze me that with so many adult collectors in the area that we can't get better organized so that we aren't all running around hitting the same stores repeatedly especially during slow weeks. I would love to try and pool funds eventually to just purchase a case every now and then. I've done this with similar situations when it comes to other hobbies. Seems like it would save some time and money for everyone. Just a thought for the future.

If you had any enjoyment collecting G1 TF's, then 20th/Masterpeice Prime is right up your alley. He's my favorite TF toy.Originally Posted by Tycho
Yes! Some of the producers who worked on the X-Men films are working on it.In light of there one day being a "live action" Transformers movie (keep hearing rumors that they are making this - is it true?)
The is a G1 Starscream coming out in a line called "Robotmasters" by Takara. This SS will be teeny compared to Prime though. Jazz will actually be offered in the Alternators line. (Alternators are reimages of G1 characters using current car models.) He won't be called Jazz though, Hasbro lost the copywrights to that name. Instead he will be called Meister, which is part of his Japanese name. It's Jazz though, I know I will call him that. He is a Mazda Rx-8. Any of the others could show up in Alternators as well, and with the movie toys that will inevitably be released.If the figures were super-poseable and actually transformed, I'd also want:
Hot Rod
Pretty much. The ankles do move, but not in a side to side motion. There's a downside.. because he is made of diecast, his chest make him top heavy, so you can't really put his articulation to its extremes.Here's the thing though: super-poseable as action figures means that their elbows and wrists turn, their shoulders turn, their knees and ankles are articulated, possibly their waist too.
The new Optimus looks like he fits that bill. Does he?
Bingo. Although I think its "realistic" toy guns...I've also read issues about Megatron being a gun, so they won't do that anymore since he looks too much like the real deal and Hasbro won't do toy guns of that kind anymore. Is this true?
Well, it isn't really necessary for that last part - Prime comes with a Megatron in gunmode. I'm pretty sure they could make a Megs in scale to Prime, but there's no way they could shrink the gun.. which may solve the whole problem with Megs being a gun anyway. A giant pistol doesn't look real.. right?Can they make a Megatron transformer so good that he changes sizes - so that he's on scale to Prime as a robot, but shrinks so much when he changes into a gun that he can fit in Prime's hands - even if he's offscale?
Probably, if you sub Megatron for Prime's Megs in gunmode.Can Starscream be made so that he's an accurately sized jet next to Prime's truck, but he folds up enough as a robot to really be accurate in size to Prime and Megatron, hold Megatron as a gun, and still be articulate.
ALTERNATORS! (You're probably not interested in Energon, so I won't even mention it.) Smokescreen, Sideswipe, Silverstreak(Bluestreak) are out, Subaru Impreza, Dodge Viper and Subaru Impreza WRX respectively. Smokescreen and Bluestreak should suit you articulation wise, but Sideswipe doesn't have much in his legs. I still recommend him though. They are about half MP Prime's height,and they make good troops for him.If I like these super-realistic Transformers, do you have any other recommendations for me of product already released?

SDL_RWops *gold_rwop = SDL_RWFromFile("img/gold.png", "rb"); SDL_Surface *gold = IMG_LoadPNG_RW(gold_rwop);
This is the code I'm using to load a .png file. And this is the code I am using to display it:
// TILE_SIZE is defined to 25 SDL_SetAlpha(gold, SDL_SRCALPHA, SDL_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT); SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha(gold); SDL_Rect tile = {250 + x * TILE_SIZE, y * TILE_SIZE, TILE_SIZE, TILE_SIZE}; SDL_BlitSurface(gold, NULL, screen, &tile);
However, the image doesn't have transparency, the transparent part is just black.
Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks.
EDIT: I don't have any more SDL_Image related code, so I might be missing something (do I have to init something?)

Deeplinks Blog posts about File Sharing
In the wake of a Harvard/UNC study (PDF) asserting that the effect file sharing has on music sales is "statistically indistinguishable" from zero, the recording industry has decided to take its P2P litigation campaign global.
Says IFPI Chairman Jay Berman, "I can't sit here and count all the new opportunities for delivering music to consumers, whether it may be over the Internet or into people's wireless telephones or anything else." Rather, argues Berman, the focus should be on bringing lawsuits against people, without "prescreening" to discriminate among "the old or young."
Needless to say, we disagree.
You may not agree with the recording industry's litigation campaign against people who use peer-to-peer file-sharing networks. No matter. Under legislation introduced Thursday by Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), you'd still have to pay for it.
The legislation in question is the Protecting Intellectual Rights Against Theft and Expropriation Act (PIRATE Act). It would allow federal prosecutors to bring civil copyright infringement suits--meaning a lower burden of proof and no need to show that a defendant had knowledge of her wrongdoing and willfully engaged in it.
Two million dollars are earmarked, four U.S. Attorney's offices must set up a "pilot" program, and the Department of Justice is required to file annual reports with the Judiciary committee to identify how many civil actions have been brought.
Walt Crawford's latest issue of Cites & Insights, entitled "The Broadcast Flag and Why You Should Care," digests the entirety of the broadcast flag debate--precisely the kind of thing we would do if we weren't so busy fighting it.
Do check it out, and feel free to re-post; the publication is under a Creative Commons license (attribution; non-commercial).
EFF board member Larry Lessig, anticipating press reaction to Kahle v. Ashcroft (see previous DL post):
"Pundit watch: you'll be able to identify a pundit who has not read either Eldred or the complaint when they suggest the case is the same as Eldred was. It is not. Indeed, the claims are fundamentally different. The only relation between the two is that Kahle/Prelinger v. Ashcroft follows the rules suggested in Eldred for challenging Congress's transformation of the traditional contours of copyright law. Eldred said: tradition matters. This case says: the tradition was radically changed."
First there was Eldred v. Ashcroft, in which Internet publisher Eric Eldred challenged Congress's power to extend the term of copyright seemingly ad infinitum--and failed. Then there was Golan v. Ashcroft, in which music conductor Lawrence Golan continues to fight Congress's "restoration" of copyrights to works that have passed into the public domain.

You probably glance up at the ridgeline above the peninsula every day, the very blue sky over a mass of treetops, Windy Hill all golden grass. Has it been awhile since you've ventured up one of the winding roads, peering precipitously down with each curve into shady, wooded canyons?
If you're in town Labor Day weekend, this could be the right time to drive up. The Kings Mountain Art Fair offers fine art, compelling craft work, and even breakfast with the artists if you arrive early at 8am. (Peet's will be served.)
Apart from that, it's 10am-5pm. Consider making a day of it - there are many trailheads just minutes from the art fair and a number of local restaurants for a beer on a sunny patio or a fireside dinner in the cool evening. From 11:30 on, there will be burgers, wine, beer, and other food available onsite. If you have kids, the art fair offers a supervised play area where volunteers lead activities to allow you to have a bit of a wander through the art on your own.
The Kings Mountain Art Fair, in its 44th year, is both a serious art event and a very community-oriented one. It's ranked by the Harris List in their Top Ten of the western U.S., and the artists are selected by jury at a rate of one in 10 applicants. The proceeds benefit the volunteer fire brigade which responds to fires, weather hazards, and emergency calls from people who come up year-round to hike, bike, and motorcycle. The fair itself is run and staffed by all local volunteers. And to complete the feeling of "local" there are 25 local-to-the-mountain artists exhibiting among the 160 total.
Put it on your calendar! Event admission is free. Web Link

Lets say I have the velocity of: (X: 0, Y: 10, Z: 0), in this case the velocity is pointing at the upper direction, so the numbers between -D3DX_PI and D3DX_PI that I should get are based on the upper quarter of the circle.
So, I want to determine which quarter of the circle the velocity is pointing at.

Initiative is really what makes leadership work. Those leaders that understand their Patrols [the make up of the guys, how they are motivated, and their skill levels], know what right looks like, and have an idea of the plan, should be able to get anything done.
But the one thing that can not be purchased or taught is initiative.
Initiative comes from an understanding that "I am a leader, and I know what needs to be done".
No matter what the situation, in the absents of other leaders and specific instruction, this get done by leaders that demonstrate initiative.
A leader should never have to wait till he is told to do something when it is clear that it needs to be done. We all know that the first thing we do when we get to camp is set up the tents. Patrols leaders should not wait for the SPL to tell them to do the task, they should take initiative and get it done. The same can be said for any and all the tasks that make up our Scouting experience.
In order for a leader to develop initiative, he must know the plan and have the skills. Knowing the plan is key. This means that a Patrol leader should be at the PLC meeting. This way he ensures that he knows what is coming up. He can then prepare himself and his Patrol.
A leader should never wait to begin working on the plan.
Say the Troop is going on a 25 mile Backpack trip. Right away the Patrol leaders knows 3 things. 1. We need to eat.. so lets plan a menu. 2. We will be carrying our gear.. so lets find out what we need and divide the gear up. 3. Finally, who's going? and do we need to shake down before we go?
This is initiative, doing what needs to be done without instruction or direction.
The initiative that a leader demonstrates can be the difference between a task done well and a task incomplete.

- UserLinux is apparently a community distribution.
- Various people have offered to help make it atleast _possible_ to allow users to run Qt-based applications on this distribution. This only requires the shipping of a handful of libraries on this distribution.
- Bruce, for whom I have no end of respect, has refused to carry the most basic parts necessary (libqt) to help with this.
- The reasons for this exclusion have not yet been made clear, and the flamewar seems to have been triggered by Bruce's reticence at clarifying. The best that anyone has received so far is "someone has promised us money, I can't say who", and "we won't be carrying any GPL-only libraries" (this last one is laughably unlikely)
Now, however much one can question the maturity of the people who have allowed this to turn into a flamewar, the basic fact is that for a "community distribution", there seem to have been some decisions made in a fairly arbitrary way. Which are they going to choose, vi or emacs?
Anyhow, happy hacking. If any more respect for KDE in your mind has been lost by this post, you and the KDE project have my most humble apologies.

Warning : The text below may be wieved by some as Major Flamebait. In a sense, it is... However, it's of the type designed to wake up people and get them to think
hadess, are publicly insulting me for a personal opinion...
I don't tell you you are a cretin because you love the euro-skeptic-brits... fine with me, stay there.
Now, for more insight on the euro-skeptic-british, here are a few verifiable thruths :
- They only seem to go where the americans go
- the war on iraq is good example
- the presence of US electronic surveillance bases used against the interests of european companies, for the benefit of US ones (see how Airbus was spied on for the benefit of Boeing).
- trying to impose Generically Modified crops
- trying to impose US-style software patents (unfortunately, no one could patent human stupidity, there's WAAAAAYYYY too much prior art)
- They seem to always be against anything the other countries in europe are interested in
- They tried to poison us with their beef
- They tried to get non-processed cheese illegal (with denmark) because they couldn't copy it
- They refused (and still refuse to this day) to use the Euro, so, by themselves, they are refusing to acknowledge their membership in the European community
It's interesting to note that De Gaulle refused the euro-skeptic-brits in the EU as long as he was in... There must have been something that made him think the euro-skeptic-brits were not acceptable in some ways. Guess we start to see them as they should.
I think it's clearer everyday that the euro-skeptic-brits are only interested in taking whatever suits them and not whatever doesn't, which isn't the way that a union/community is created. By their actions, the euro-skeptic-brits are setting themselves out of the European community, hence they should eventually be expelled, once the people at the european parliament come to their senses.
Now, for those brits that are euro-fans, you are welcome to emigrate to France, or anywhere else in the European community. it will be a lot easier then to sort the chaff from the grain when the European Community finally gets rid of those other brits that are a hindrance...

Sent for memory bird. Two birds in the blind. Got coffee headed down the pipe. Here comes a flight of 20-40 birds honking and a looking. Got em in and knocked down two. Quick final day. Sent Anny down for the go bird. Here. Heel. Sit. Sent her for the memory bird. BIG MISTAKE. The honker was a cripple and I knew it. But to what degree of functionality did it have I was soon to find out. Anny hit her line hard and straight and as soon as this honker saw her he started to run and pump those wings like mad. Elevated at 3 feet off the ground it took off and so did Anny. Off they went and at 150 yards out the bird still 3 feet off banked right hard and caught the wind at its back. More speed and now headed towards a 2 lane frontage road. I looked for cars and saw none. Tried to whistle her in but too far out and no chance whatso ever. She was a red dot chasing this big ol gray dot. Down a bank and out of site. I see cars coming on the frontage road and I start hauling out in that direction. To my relief, I see her in the distance with a big ol goose coming in. Rules of the game. Never send a dog out for a cripple where there may be harms way. Roads, barb wire fences, ice ponds or creeks, etc. I would have been better off walking on a heel and creating a walk up scenario. I was home in 1 hour from set up to pick up. I consider my self fortunate to have not lost my dog. Lesson for me. Won't happen again.

I got me a pretty nice terrainengine by now.
I load a (big) heightmap and a shadowmap.
Then I split it up into chunks as soon as there isn't already a chunk(passing them their part of the two maps) and draw them (each with its own multiple vertexbuffers for different LODs).
The chunks are stored in a vector (push_back(new chunk(...)), and every frame I check if there are more chunks then the Max_chunks I want to have loaded, those are erased by vector.erase(the first one not visible).
So, that's all running fine, and thanks to the LOD-levels on 100-150 fps when I dont move.
But the loading/unloading and creating/destruction of chunks seems to take to much time. 3-9 ms currently, and i have to load/unload about 100 or more every frame. That makes the programm freezing a little when you move around, and now I have to get rid of this.
A thing I already got suggested in this Forum are memorypools. I just get me a cupple of raw memory when to programm starts, and then use new(myMemory)chunk(...) to allocate from it. But that appeared to be pretty unhandy to implement due to the method I create the chunks with, and I need to have access to this memory inside of each chunk to allocate the memory the LODlevels need (they delete[] it instantly after the vertexbuffer is set anyway).
So, are there any other ways to improve the performance of new/delete and how can I pass raw memory trough a function properly?
Any ways to increase the draw performance even more can be brought in too.
Feel free to ask for code, if it's needed anywhere.
Thanks for your concern

Results 1 to 6 of 6
Recommended PH, GH, KH for Discus
Display – 6.5 – 7.5
Breeding – 5.5 – 6.5
Grow-Out – 6.8 – 7.5
Display – 10–15 GH, 5-8 KH
Breeding – 1-4 GH, 0-1 KH
Growing-Out – 8-15 GH, 5-8KH
I would avoid buffers/additives when keeping discus; unless, they exceed the ranges above. Discus love good clean consistent water quality, so be careful of even slight fluctuations when performing water changes.
Note: Some PH buffers increase phosphates in your water and promote algae growth.
Hope this helps!

Hi all,
ive just signed up to this forum so apologies if ive posted in the wrong place...
Im starting up a 300L aquarium and am looking at keeping a number of various discus species together, ive done some research and understand that the gH of the water needs to be very soft (1-3gh, at the moment im looking at Gh of 7-9). the research seems to be pointing me in the direction of RO mechanisms and deionisation etc however this is costly and fundage isnt permitting this at the moment. I read about drift wood being able to soften water and i do have a small amount in the tank however, further research led me to a water softener pillow (which i have purchased and is in place in my filter) - my understanding is that it takes out calcium and magnesium in order to make the water softer however it does this by replacing with sodium ions...
this is now where i have questions;
1) is the increase in sodium ions going to be harmful to the discus
2) is there any other way of making the water softer without RO? (ive read about using distilled water (purchasable from local hardware store) with added dicus minerals - is this a feasible option to RO?
i havent got any fish in the tank at all at the moment as i want to get the water conditions absolutely stable before i introduce any discus.
any help would be greatly appreciated

Is it rude to blindfold the occasional hunting buddy who develops no new good spots of his own when taking him to a secret public honey hole?

Never had to blind fold my Lab. Most of the time the only buddy I need.
Absolutely, I took a buddy to two spots and low and behold he has gotten permission every year since. It really pisses me off, because he never stops and knocks on doors to gain new farms. Personally I think you should be allowed to stone them if they do.

hunting spots are as sacred as training grounds, and the urge to show off both are very powerful, but with the use of GPS and other location tools attached to pics, I wont post said pics of those "honey holes"..I was taken to a few new spots just last month that have been in play for some time....and that was from a family member..All it takes is to get you favorite place snaked once by a "friend" and you will look at who you take where and when
If someone takes me to a honey hole, I make sure I never return there unless they take me there or they no longer desire to hunt there. I also defer to them for first shot on birds. I find it only respectful and proper field etiquette. Now HNTFSH and Melatone I'll gladly accept the blindfolding if you're willing to share some honey holes.

Might be time to find new friends! I've been really lucky with the few guys I hunt with as far as sharing the load scouting and finding spots. I would be really pissed if someone piggy backed me all the time, probably wouldn't hunt with em any more.
Once ran a hunt-test senario, where the object was to sneak into a public honey-hole, use the decoys already left there, quick shoot your ducks, and get back to the truck before the other hunters showed up & caught yah. I wonder where the judge ever got the idea for such a scenario, Public hunting spots are scared; blind-folding and riding in the trunk is to be expected

Under-cutting another person's X spot, especially private, is cause for a good ol' a-whooping. Once seen an "intruder" land face down in a cornfield only to watch him come to and have to stumble around and pick up a bunch of field decoys with his buddies. Glad I wasn't in his party.
Absolutely not, and remove the battery from their phone so they can't GPS it.
Nothing worse then showing up at your "spot" and having someone you brought there already hunting it.

It's a tit-for-tat in my book and your tit better be scouted,, hunted and not some icon on a state map convenient to get too.
What's always ironic is these are the same guys that complain about 'so many hunters' out there and too crowded. Hell...you could write it down for them on how to be successful and they still wouldn't get it/do it.
So yes - if i pay back a favor (which I'm happy to do) it is only on Private where I control it or on public - with a blindfold!!

|>> Archive: Warmwater Gamefish Flies Freshwater Bass, pike, muskie?!?
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Nice Quentin! Dead ringer for a yellow perch in trouble. I think my gullible bucketmouth friends will love it!
|John Desjardins
|Q, this fly looks real nice. Good work.
Here are the detailed instructions:
Begin by wrapping thread on the hook shank from 1/2 inch behind eye to start of bend. Attach tag end of ribbing along bottom of shank, with ribbing extending behind fly. Cut a 6" piece of each color of yarn and separate one strand of each color. The yarn is 4 ply, but I used only one strand of each color. Use more if you want a thicker body. Attach the tag ends of the yarn along the bottom of the shank, with the rest of the yarn extending behind the fly. The tied down body and ribbing should cover only the pre-wrapped section of the shank, leaving about 1/2" of bare shank behind the eye. Wind the green strand of yarn forward to where the bare shank begins, double back a few wraps, then wrap forward again to form a tapered body. Tie down the loose end. Now wrap the yellow piece forward, covering the green yarn, and tie down the loose end. The green yarn will show through the yellow layer when the fly gets wet. Note: This yarn will pull apart if you apply too much tension. In order to get a tight wrap, apply light tension on the loose end and gently twist the yarn on the shank with your other hand as you wrap the shank. I think the original fly used yellow dubbing over green dubbing to form the body, so you could certainly use that method rather than using the yarn.
Now tie in a piece of red tying thread or floss where the body meets the bare shank. Wrap the thread or floss back and then forward to cover about 3/8" of the body, then tie off. The length of bare hook will "shrink" as you tie down the ends of the body sections. You should still have 1/4" - 3/8" of bare shank behind the eye, with about a 1/4" tapered section of thread between the bare shank and the body section.
Take two matching olive grizzly hackles, approximately 2x the hook length, and tie them "Matuka" style to form the wing and tail, using the wire ribbing to hold down the hackles. I've found that it's easier to lash the hackles in place if I make one wrap with the wire before I begin to secure the hackle. The bases of the hackles and end of the wire should be tied down where the tapered section of thread is so that the wing begins at the front of the red floss.
Take two or four short curved grizzly feathers and tie them on the sides of the fly to make fins (I used two, the original used four). Again, tie the bases of the feathers onto the tapered section of thread. The fins should be almost as long as the body and should flare out from the sides of the fly. I'm not sure what kind of feathers were used on the original fly, but I didn't have anything like them so I used the small hackles that were attached to the bases of the wing hackles and trimmed the tips to form a blunt fin. Tie in the throat if desired (the original didn't have one).
At this point you should still have about 1/8" - 1/4" of bare shank just behind the hook eye. Tie in two or three bunches of olive or natural deer hair to form a muddler style head (original used natural). I try to tie the first bunch on the tapered section of thread (it doesn't always stay there) and pull the thread tight without spinning the hair. Then spin/pack a couple more bunches up to the eye of the hook, tie off and cement thread. I also applied a small dab of head cement right at the base of the tail to help keep the wing/tail in place. Trim the hair very short on the bottom and leave the tips from the first bunch on the top and sides to form a collar. Trim the rest of the hair to make a tapered head.
Matuka Sculpin Perch (Swap Entry)
This is my entry for the warmwater fly swap. For lack of a better name, I've called it a Matuka Sculpin Perch. It is my attempt to copy a very effective fly that I found while fishing one day. I made some minor changes and used slightly different materials, but my version will hopefully be just as productive as the original.
Hook: Size 6, 4X long streamer hook
Thread: Olive
Ribbing: 28 Gauge Brass Wire
Body: Green and Yellow Plastic Canvas Yarn (specific colors were medium avacodo and honey gold); Red Thread
Wing/Tail: Olive Grizzly Hackle
Fins: Olive Grizzly Hackle
Throat: Orange Fluorofibre
Collar/Head: Olive Deer Body Hair
Here's the original fly (top) along with profile and bottom views of the copy.

GLORY 3 Rome - Final 8: The Fighters
- Written by Rian Scalia
GLORY 3 Rome - Final 8 takes place this Saturday, November 3 in Rome, Italy, with the main attraction obviously being the GLORY's 70kg Final 8 featuring eight fighters that qualified from the First 16 back in May.
The purpose of this post is to highlight each fighter, going into Saturday's event. This field of fighters features some of the best 70kg fighters in kickboxing, with long time veterans, a universally recognized number one, up and comers looking to make a name for themselves on the world stage and "new blood" amongst the upper echelon of the 70kg division.
Giorgio Petrosyan (Italy/Armenia)
Giorgio Petrosyan is LiverKick's #1 ranked middleweight fighter and he's pretty much universally recognized as the best fighter in all of kickboxing. He's beaten and faced almost everyone there is to fight and has rarely even been close to losing. He hasn't lost a fight since early 2007 to Nonthanan Por. Pramuk in Muay Thai in Thailand, with that being the only loss of his career. Petrosyan is without doubt the favorite to win the whole tournament. Him not winning the tournament would be a big upset, that's how good he is. He'll be fighting Ky Hollenbeck in the quarter final.
Ky Hollenbeck (United States)
Hollenbeck is the lone American in the field, faced with the tall task of fighting Giorgio Petrosyan. Hollenbeck is quite an unorthodox fighter, throwing a high variety of strikes in many different manners; spinning, jumping, you name it. He normally fights Muay Thai, but got to try his hand at kickboxing in the First 16, where he stopped Michael Corley in the first round. The one thing that troubles a lot of Hollenbeck's opponents is his ability to be unpredictable with his unorthodox rhythm that isn't typical at all of most kickboxers. The one thing that Hollenbeck and Petrosyan have in common is that they both only have one loss, with Hollenbeck's coming to Nieky Holzken a year ago.
Shemsi Beqiri (Switzerland/Albania)
Beqiri finally got his shot on the big stage at GLORY's First 16 in May and made the most of it with a hard fought, close win over Yoshihiro Sato, defeating him in the same fashion that Sato defeated him in early 2011, by split decision. Since then, Beqiri took a tune up fight in September where he dominated Steeve Valente to a unanimous decision win, showing new improvements in his kicking game and a much more aggressive display. His main facet is his use of punches, where he can either act as the agressor or work as a counter fighter as he did in the second fight with Sato. Though he usually wins by decision, he does seem to be packing more power in his punches as of late. Shemsi is only 26 and seems to be at or reaching the prime of his career. He fights Davit Kiria.
Davit Kiria (Georgia)
Kiria was a surprise addition to the Final 8 when he upset Kem Sitsongpeenong at the First 16. He was a late replacement and was expected by most to get beat up by Kem, shocked everyone by knocking the Thai down in the first round with a high kick and then fighting well for the rest of the fight. Kiria is another fighter like Beqiri that has improved a lot and is even getting better, probably not even having reached his prime yet. Coming from an Ashihara Karate background, he isn't the typical kickboxer either, though he trains in Holland at a Dutch gym and fights in a similar manner at times as the Dutch. His win over Kem was his coming out party and any kind of success for him, even in a loss, at this event will further establish his name among the better 70kg kickboxers.
Albert Kraus (Netherlands)
Kraus is the oldest fighter in the tournament at 32 years old, having really been around the block and having fought pretty much everyone there is or was to fight. He was the first ever K-1 MAX tournament champion back in 2002. To many, Kraus' best days are behind him but this tournament gives him the chance to prove everyone wrong. He's had mixed results for the past few years, with a few surprising losses to Yuji Nashiro and Batu Khasikov along the way. He recently won his debut in pro boxing in September to stay active. Kraus' game is all about boxing, as he favors punches much more than anything else, making up the brunt of his offense. He'll fight Sanny Dahlbeck, a much different fighter in a much different career position.
Sanny Dahlbeck (Sweden)
Dahlbeck comes in as the youngest fighter in the tournament at 21 years old. Like Kiria, his coming out party was at the First 16 when he dominated Warren Stevelmans. A loss here wouldn't be the end of the world at all for him, and he has a bright future in the sport regardless of the result. Dahlbeck is a southpaw that comes from a Muay Thai background, indicative of the punching and kicking range that he favors. His game is pretty well rounded and like Beqiri, he can be the agressor or the counter fighter. The Stevelmans fight definitely showcased the power he possesses, as Stevelmans is one tough fighter to even knock down. I think Dahlbeck might cause some surprises on Saturday.
Robin van Roosmalen (Netherlands)
Robin van Roosmalen, our LiverKick #2 ranked middleweight fighter (not updated after the Hafid El Boustati cut loss) is one of the top 70kg fighters despite being 23 years old and still a rising star. He's shown significant improvement in the past two years, with his breakout wins all coming at the It's Showtime Fast & Furious tournament, which saw him stop the heavily favored Artur Kyshenko in the first round. He did lose to Hafid El Boustati in June via cut, but he was handily dominating the fight with hellacious kicks and thudding punches. Murat Direkci was the fighter that really gave Robin a lot of trouble, utilizing a range-based attack with the teep being one of the central weapons to keep him at bay. van Roosmalen can get the bad taste of the loss to El Boustati and even more with a tournament win here, starting off with Tim Thomas in the quarter finals.
Tim Thomas (England)
Tim Thomas is probably the fighter who people least expected to be here. That's due in part to the fact that he took the fight with Dennis Schneidmiller at the First 16 on a few days notice but still managed to win. Thomas will have had a full training camp for this tournament. He also comes from a Muay Thai background and usually fights a bit below 70kg, around 67kg, but the weight wasn't an issue at all at the First 16. Like a lot of Muay Thai fighters, he usually takes the first two rounds to feel out his opponents and utilizes round kicks but in his fight at the First 16, it was noticable that he was adjusting on the fly to fighting kickboxing, stepping up his workrate. He hits hard, and with a full preparation period this time out, he shouldn't be written off.
