Assalamu alaikum.
The conditions stipulated for one to attend this last Pillar of Islam has been liberalized that people refer to leave their immediate relations in abject poverty and destitution to perform it.
Nonetheless, what is the significance of this verse in holy Qur'an chapter 7: "Their Salat at the House (of Allah i.e. Ka'ba) was nothing but whistling and clapping of hands. Therefore taste the punishment because you used to disbelieve."

Scabiosa: Potted Perennial Plant
How to Plant
Planting Potted Plants:
- Choose a location in full sun with loose, well-drained organic soil. Scabiosa can take an alkaline soil but is generally tolerant of most well-drained soil.
- Prepare the bed by turning the soil under to a depth of 6-12 inches removing any debris, and lightly raking as level as possible.
- The addition of organic matter (leaf mold, compost, well-rotted manure) benefits all gardens and is essential in recently constructed neighborhoods.
- Plant on a cloudy day or in late afternoon to reduce transplant shock.
- Dig a hole for each plant large enough to amply accommodate the root ball.
- Unpot the plant and gently loosen the root ball with your hands to encourage good root growth.
- Place the top of the root ball even with the level of the surrounding soil. Fill with soil to the top of the root ball. Press soil down firmly with your hand.
- Use the plant tag as a location marker.
- Thoroughly water and apply a light mulch layer on top of the soil (1-2 inches) to conserve water and reduce weeds.
How to Grow
- Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their germination.
- Mulches also help retain soil moisture and maintain even soil temperatures. For perennials, an organic mulch of aged bark or shredded leaves lends a natural look to the bed and will improve the soil as it breaks down in time. Always keep mulches off a plant's stems to prevent possible rot.
- Careful watering is essential in getting perennials off to a good start. Water thoroughly at least once a week to help new roots grow down deeply. Soil should be damp at about 1 inch below the soil surface. You can check this by sticking your finger in the soil. Water early in the morning to give all leaves enough time to dry. One inch of rain or watering per week is recommended for most perennial plants. You can check to see if you need to add water by using a rain gauge.
- Until plants become established, some protection from extreme winds and direct, hot sunlight may be necessary. Good air movement is also important.
- After new growth appears, a light fertilizer may be applied. Keep granular fertilizers away from the plant crown and foliage to avoid burn injury. Use low rates of a slow release fertilizer, as higher rates may encourage root rots.
- "Deadhead", remove spent flower heads to encourage continuous flowering and prevent seed development. After flowering cut back to basal growth.
- Remove and discard foliage after a hard frost in fall.
- In colder regions, apply another layer of mulch (1-2 inches) after the ground freezes in fall. Evergreen boughs (from Christmas trees) provide additional protection. Remove this mulch in the spring.
- Divide scabiosa every three years.
Growing Tips
- Recommended for the middle of the border, and scabiosa makes great cut flowers
- Shorter varieties are fine for containers.

About Personal Genomics
Direct-to-consumer genetic testing is an emerging, highly publicized industry, despite considerable skepticism among experts. Advances in sequencing and genomics have revealed some correlations between particular genetic sequences and certain diseases, physical characteristics, and behaviors, though these relationships are not perfectly understood. Nevertheless, entrepreneurs have seized on these correlations to sell tests that purport to indicate whether the customer has an increased risk of a disease or other characteristic. Similarly, associations of genetic sequences with specific geographical locations have led to commercial ancestry tests.Evaluating the claims of these companies is difficult, since their technologies are typically kept private and there is minimal oversight. Medical tests are supposed to be supervised by a physician, and testing laboratories need to be licensed. California has worked with Navigenics and 23andMe, two of the best-known companies, to ensure that they are operating legally in the state, but these Internet-based businesses raise regulatory concerns that cross state boundaries.This industry may contribute to an over-emphasis on genes as determinants, possibly at the expense of environmental, economic and social considerations. A further concern is the possible use of DNA databases developed by private companies, whose business plans include profiting from the compiled data. Finally, although the companies insist that they will respect the privacy of their customers, there is no effective guarantee.

All parties insist that they don't want to go through all that again. Patrick, in particular, repeatedly warns that the gaming debate tends to "suck all the oxygen" out of Beacon Hill, making it hard to push other legislative priorities.
Nevertheless, the lure of jobs and state revenue keeps the topic from going away.
DeLeo has publicly spoken several times about getting a gaming bill done this session, just last week telling the Lynn Daily Item "We would all like to get it done this year."
Also last week, Patrick spoke optimistically at the Governor's Conference on Travel & Tourism, telling the Springfield Republican that he is "hopeful" a deal can be reached.
The silent member of Beacon Hill's power trio has been Senate President Therese Murray, whose pro-casino posturing has quieted significantly since two years ago, when she was confident enough to call out "ka-ching!" during a high-profile speech. But Senate insiders say Murray is still eager to get it done.
The three met last week and discussed gaming among other topics, according to staffers.
What they want, insiders say, is to reach a full agreement first, and only then put forward a bill, which could then be moved through quickly — avoiding public messiness.
That sounds great. But few believe it will play out that way.
Indeed, that same Daily Item article quotes Lynn Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy predicting a showdown in which the legislature could have to override a Patrick veto.
Beacon Hill watchers differ in their opinions about how much the gaming issue will affect things this year, but they are mostly resigned to it raising its ugly head yet again.
"It's a bill I hope we can deal with relatively early," says Jack Hart of South Boston, majority whip in the Senate. "Because it's the 800-pound gorilla in the room."
Hart is hopeful that Patrick, DeLeo, and Murray can negotiate an agreement, but — like virtually everyone else on Beacon Hill — he hasn't seen any movement on the key sticking point since the bill collapsed last summer. DeLeo seems to still want slots-only licenses for race tracks, while Patrick insists that slots-only licenses — if included at all — must be put out to open, competitive bid.
"Last year we were at a standstill," Hart says, "and that stalemate still exists."
Patrick even sang his position to DeLeo at the annual South Boston St. Patrick's Day breakfast: "Those racinos in love with which you're falling, while I am gov won't see the light of day."
In theory, the big three can privately caucus on that point, without derailing other legislative priorities.
In reality — as DeLeo himself admitted during last year's impasse — the legislative agenda is intra-dependant, with issue X affecting issue Y, and so on.

The research focus of my laboratory is on the genetics of brain structure and function. Our goals include elucidation of the neurobiological roots of major mental illnesses through the integration of cognitive neuropsychological, functional and structural neuroimaging, and behavioral and molecular genetic approaches. The ultimate goals of this research is the identification of genes involved in affective and psychotic illnesses as well as genes that influence non-pathological brain structure and function. Localization of genes involved in mental illness should significantly contribute to an understanding of the underlying biology of these complex diseases, which in turn should improve future treatments and create the potential for prevention strategies.

F. Race/Ethnicity/Gender - 1 course (Required if transferring without MACRAO Stamp) Choose one course from the following: ANTH 270,275; ENGL 260,270; GEOG 200; HIST 150; POLS 120,240,250,260,270; PSYC 200,202,203,205,221,222; SOCL 120,254,255,260. G. Global Consciousness - 1 course (Required if transferring without MACRAO Stamp) Global Consciousness courses deal with contemporary cultures, languages, or societies outside North America or with contemporary Native American culture and civilization.

The MACRAO Transfer Agreement applies to students entering bachelor degree programs at FSU, and pertains solely to general education. The agreement does not exempt students from meeting specific prerequisite and/or course requirements for their degree. Only courses with a grade of "C" (2.0) or better will transfer. 2. Students transferring to Ferris State University with MACRAO will have met the lower-division general education communication competency; scientific understanding; cultural enrichment; social awareness; race, ethnicity, and gender; and global awareness requirements. In order to complete the general education requirements for a bachelor's degree, students with MACRAO must still complete math proficiency and upper- level communication competency requirements. 3. Many degrees require specific courses and prerequisite courses that also count for FSU's general education requirements. Because these specific courses are required for the degree, they must be taken even if a student has sufficient coursework to complete the MACRAO agreement. 4. Courses often meet more than one general education requirement simultaneously in the following categories: Cultural Enrichment, Social Awareness, Global Consciousness, and Race/Ethnicity/Gender. 5. LCC courses other than those appearing on this guide should be checked for transferability by consulting the Ferris State University web page at www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/academics/gened/courses.html. For assistance with the transfer admissions process, contact Shari Chamberlain, Transfer Admissions Office, at (800) 4-FERRIS, (231) 591-2100 or e-mail email@example.com.

This is the falls a few days after a major storm dumped several inches of rain. The falls are 77 feet high, and are the second largest waterfall by volume east of the Mississippi. The building to the left is a hydroelectric plant. There are two bridges over the gorge, the one closest carries a water pipe, the farther one is for viewing the falls. Not may people are on it, because the mist was blowing that way. Search on "drh" in the next few days to see other views of the falls/river/power plant.

Anyone else picked this up?
I have been listening to it all day, and I think the 1st single is definitely the strongest song on the album. I know on this album they produced all of the songs themselves, and while they are decent enough, the variety and imaginativeness on the tracks is lacking in comparison to earlier albums.
The running time is also light at less than 45 minutes. I don't feel so bad since it was only 9.99 at Best Buy (a sanitized version is available at Wal-Mart for around 9.35).
The coolest thing is the album artwork! The sleeve unfolds to reveal 4 foot long (both sides) 4 inch high panorama of Manhattan as observed from Brooklyn. It looks pretty accurate (although I think 1 bridge is omitted). I would really dig that sort of thing in a specialized frame to fit it.

Not much been happening recently. Work's been busy and my free time has mostly been spent setting up our new 5.1 speakers. That, of course, involved moving all of our furniture around again.
Since I've recently been doing lots of research and futzing with speakers, I'd have to disagree with chipx86 about the merits of using "computer" vs. "tv" speakers. Generally, all computer speakers are are a set of small, not entirely great speakers with a built-in amp somewhere. If you want better sound, better speakers are in order. I've got a set of 5 Polk Audio speakers. Certainly not the best, but we liked their sound and they were in our price range.
As chipx86 said, you can't hook these directly up to a computer. I'd recommend hooking the computer into a receiver via a digital connection. I've got some experience with this, running an MP3 jukebox for our home over a digital connection to our receiver. I picked up a cheap es1373 card at a garage sale, and found a web page telling how to use the undocumented digital out it had.
Why digital out? It'll give you much better sound. I tried both a normal analog out and the digital output from my card, the digital was a lot better. The computer is a very noisy environment (electrically) and I think my receiver probably has a better DAC than the cheap sound card.
But back to the speakers, I don't imagine there will be much of a benefit to computer speakers over a set of normal speakers, provided you have the right equipment to drive them. Computer speakers would be easier to set up, and probaby equivalent to a set of small satellites from a TV system, but you can definitely get better speakers than are sold for dedicated computer work.
No time for free software today... I got my GBA Afterburner yesterday and now I can dig out the soldering iron and install it.

Scenic Tours
We might be biased (okay, we're definitely biased), but we think Massachusetts is the most beautiful state in the country. Mountain vistas, pristine oceans, breathtaking architecture. And if you're a completionist, the best way to see it all is with a guided tour. Boston is the ultimate walking city, so there's Boston By Foot, or if you want to see things move a bit faster, RunBoston. Out west, the Berkshire Scenic Railroad shows you the sights while you sit back and relax. Explore the Cape by sea with Cape Cod Canal Cruises or by land with Art's Dune Tours. And since pizza is beautiful in its own way, we're going to throw this one in here too: Boston Pizza Tours brings you from brick oven to brick oven, all while you sample some of the best bites in the city.

In the summer when fruits, vegetables and fragrant herbs are in abundance, homemade sauces and dressing are simply heavenly drizzled over just about anything.
When vegetables are puréed in a blender or food processor with the usual (and not-so-usual) ingredients, they add bright flavor, creamy body, plus more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to your bowl of leafy greens. But don't stop there, we love homemade sauces served with grilled beef, chicken pork or shrimp, tossed with beans or pasta, and drizzled over vegetables and grains.
Here our the best summertime dressings and sauces we have to offer. Some on the list are jam-packed with peak-season fruits or veggies while others will enhance your dinner's flavor with the help oils or herbs:

If you get the Golden Retriever News and check back through the last few years, there have been articles on some of the field Goldens from England, and in Sept/Oct 09 one on Holway and June Atkinson; more in N/D '10; in S/O '11 one on Ann Fowler and it gives some information about early Goldens D.L. really liked. In N/D '11 there is a write up on The Tigathoe Four with more info on Quar. 2012 has had a variety of articles on early Goldens including some of Torch's as well as in Sept/Oct on Ripp owned by Bill Connor. More are planned for 2013.
If anyone has old photos or information on some of the well known early Goldens, I would love to have you write me about it privately. I am working on some right at the moment and love to get additional data---especially personal knowledge about some of those wonderful Goldens.
A personal note---when I started trials, for some reason I seemed to always be #1 in the line up--no rotation and a "draw" was done. I remember asking Betty Wilkinson if she would mind holding Luke in the blind so I could watch the test dog run. She said "does he bite?"---- I thought she was kidding, then realized she wasn't. I had never seen or been around a Golden that bit. Later I saw a couple of the early ones being trained, and if I had been trained with the methods they were, I would have bitten as well! The same with some of the Labs----the brighter they were, it seemed the more they resented unfairness. I grew up riding, training and competing with horses, so was not naive about variations in training methods and philosophies. As training methods for retrievers evolved and progressed, many dogs who would have been washed out went on to have outstanding careers.
Glenda, thanks for noting the specific issues of GR News that would be of interest. Some time ago, I thought of purchasing the last few years worth, but then realized how expensive that would be. Having an idea of which to buy is helpful.
I hope Bon and Earl and JD will dig out some photos and stories for you to work with! Love your articles and sharing. And your insight about why the early dogs would bite! Makes sense to me!
As for the question of whether today's dogs are any different from those in UK, and whether outcrossing to their FT dogs would be beneficial - I guess Judy, Glenda and myself will have to make a trip over there for an indepth analysis!!! Anyone else want to tag along? Wouldn't that be so fun?! First round at the pub is on me!
I bred twice to Nancy Miner's "Buddy" and twice to Harold Bruniga's Sangamo Red. The time I spent at the kitchen table with both people is remembered fondly.
Let's not rehash or visit boot, shoot electrocute , yeah it existed and I am ashamed to have been part of it. Talk about the old dogs and their accomplishments. Thank you.
Here is the link to her website:
You can move around there obviously, but thought to put you right on the ...great old Goldens page :) You might find your Dad's Topbrass Golden there.. I looked, but not quite finding the right dog.
A thought ... has anyone suggested to GRCA that they bundle the articles they have published in the past on the kennels, the breeders, and the Goldens of the past into one publication and market it? I think it would sell and could easily be Volume I of a series -- "The History of the Golden Retriever in America". Even with that title, it could include the early kennels, dogs, and breeders in England and elsewhere.

From Popular Science today: why doctors can't give you LSD (and maybe they should)
Why your doctor can't give you LSD etc… by Pop Sci Mag
Fascinating read today over on popular science magazine site. Author is pretty reserved and made sure to stay within the law no matter how misguided the law in this case is. However, the article makes excellent points, including uncovering the over zealous history of the FDA and DEA in dealing with psychedelics. My take is that this is a must read for every anxiety sufferer who is looking for a better way. The author also includes valuable resources including Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) and others who are trying to revive a lost art of trusting nature to provide solutions for natural problems. Only one critique of this article is that it failed to mention that naturally occurring mushrooms (the source of psilocybin) have been a source of nourishment and support in central and South America and west Africa for thousands of years. To this day people in these countries know to pick these mushrooms from the side of the road and ingest them whole. They know what comes next from improvement in mood and stamina to becoming better social beings etc…
I won't go further. I have written before about psychedelics and their pharmaceutical properties in this blog. However the pop sci article avoids any and all medical jargon if it is not your thing.

Are you a golfer and you want to be great in what you do? No problem! There are plenty of ways to be great at this sport and apart from having the determination and the drive to improve; you must also have the correct equipment too such as an indoor putting mat.
However, you do not buy the first putting mat that you see in a store. There are some features that you should consider first as a way for you to obtain the right one for you.
You want to have a putting mat that has a turf that looks natural and most manufacturers strive to manufacture something that is very similar to real and natural grass in golf courses.
In time, you will see that you are slowly improving even if you don't spend a lot time out there at the golf course and once you do, your friends are going to be so impressed and you'll even impress yourself as well. It's an incredible thing to have!

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|we use the SC15 2/0 oceanside. I doubt that we have straightened more than a few in over 50 days fishing. It is hard to believe that such a thin hook can be so strong. We ocasionally have wrapped a little lead to get it down faster.
I can't say that I remember ever losing a fish due to the hook tearing out. Maybe a few have, and I thought they'd just thrown the hook. I just know that I've lost far fewer fish since I've gone to that style of hook. I, too, like the SC15 Gami for tarpon. For fishing in the backcountry (Florida Bay) where most fish are under eighty pounds, it's almost a perfect hook. For ocean side fish during tarpon season I like the Aki better. I also prefer the Aki in the Everglades as the heavier style hook sinks a little quicker and getting your fly down is important in much tarpon fishing in the Glades. In fact, my guide often wraps lead strips (like we use for steelheading--look like matches in a matchbook) around the shank to increase the rate of drop.
Regarding the legs on crab patterns: That's one reason I like to tie crabs without legs. I find the plastic gel type last longer than the rubber. When they get looking really gnarly and the fly is just fine otherwise, I just cut the legs off and keep using the fly. When the whole fly looks too grubby to use I razor blade off the materials and re-use the hook assuming there's nothing wrong with the hook. That doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
the SC-15 is an amazing tarpon hook. very sticky.
as for longevity, I have found that rubber legs don't last more that a couple of years befor they dry up and break off. I find that a fly falls apart befor it rusts. maybe if I was a better tyer.
I think that Lefty Kreh had written that he didn't like the thin wire hooks for bones because they tore out too easily (soft mouths). An interesting thought.
|Actually, I have a customer from England who also spends a lot of time in both Islamorada and the Joulters off the northern tip of Andros. He's a diehard bonefisherman. Come to think of it, I actually have two customers from different areas of England who spend a lot of time in Islamorada in addition to that fishing buddy who bought a house right behind Bonefish Bob's Tackle Emporium.
Hi JR
Interesting information. I thought I was the only english guy who spends a lot of time in Islamorada.
|One of my fishing buddies from England, who now lives for part of the year in Islamorada, made this same comment about the gyno crab. I know I've seen the tasty toad pattern, but I can't say I've ever fished one. My guess is that Ralph, the creator of the gyno crab, probably didn't even know of either the kwan or the tasty toad. As I mentioned before it was his first trip to the flats. He's a good tier, though, and did a nice job of tying these as he had seven other guys wanting a few for themselves. There's fair fishing for tarpon in parts of Grand Bahama, just like on the west side of Andros. It tends to be seasonal, at least for the bigger fish, and they aren't everywhere. Usually a good guide will know where to find them.
I have been doing a little research into the Kwan as I had not heard or it before. It looks interesting. The fly that you describe as the gyno crab sounds a little like the tasty toad fly that we use in the Keys for bonefish, but with legs.
Hi JR
Thanks for the permit fly info.
Re tarpon flies I only use Owner hooks asI have had similar experiences to you. However if you get a bad hook set on a tarpon it will always throw the hook. the good thing is that you find out quickly and not after 45mins.
I have caught quite a few large tapon in the Keys, Venezuela and surprisingly enough for me at the time, Grand Bahama.
The two largest permit I have ever hooked were while bonefishing the North Bight of Andros Island. One was hooked on a standard gotcha and the other was hooked on a small fur crab. When I go to Ascension Bay in Mexico I fish only for permit, but we do take bonefish that are more aggressive when they travel along with permit. I just like the fact that the same crab patterns I use at Casa Blanca for permit can also be used at Andros for bones. In fact, sometimes I think the bones prefer them to crazy charlies and gotchas. The fur crabs I tie simply use Antron yarn (off white, tan, and peach colors mostly) with either Polar Fibre or real polar bear for the tail. They come out looking a little like fur crabs with some Kwan features as well. Add a few strands of Krystal Flash and some barring with a marker pen and that's it. We don't even tie most of them with legs any more. They are very simple to tie (two materials and lead eyes) and seem to fish as well as or better than the more complicated versions. The gyno crab is a "secret fly" that I don't even have all of the secrets for as a buddy of mine ties them. They are pretty much a Kwan with polar bear for a tail and long rubber legs. The guy who ties them caught nine permit in five days at Casa Blanca while on his first ever flats' trip. Believe it or not, the preferred color was chartreuse. Chartreuse polar bear looks like a neon sign in the water, but the permit loved them.
I think the biggest advantage of the new hooks is the hooking percentage and hooked to lost ratio. My averages have gone up dramatically since switching to the new hooks. It's most dramatic with tarpon. I landed 3 of the first 29 tarpon I ever jumped. All were jumped using 34007, 3407, or Partridge Homasassa Special hooks. When I switched to the Owner Aki and Gamakatsu SC15 (now my favorite tarpon hooks) I landed the next seven tarpon I jumped. In fact, it might have been 12 for 12 if I hadn't lost a tarpon of well over 100 pounds due to a reel malfunction. Though not as well documented, my averages on other species has improved, also. Trust me, I like them so well I'd gladly pay a couple of dollars per hook if necessary. The price of hooks is so minute when even DIY trip costs are totaled up, that I just can't see not using the best. That goes for tippet material, too. These are two things I obsess about in saltwater fishing.
Hi JR
I like your ideas on multi purpose flies. Do you ahve picture and tying instructions for the flies you recomend?
OK I'll admit that the real reason I use Mustad hooks is that I live in Europe and they are the only hooks that are widely available.
I still have a few Gamakatsu SL113H hooks that I bought the last time I was in the US but I am running out.
Where do you fish when there is a good chance of catching permit as well as bonefish Mexico?
I have been to Ascension Bay a few times. In my experience when bonefishing seeing permit is a very rare occurance as I believe they normally like different surrounding. Namely a faster moving current and a hard bottom.
I am off to fish Cayo Largo in Cuba next month and I understand that thee could be a few permit around. Some of the flies you recommend could be usefull.
By the time you wrap a body on a Gotcha and similar flies, the color of the hook makes little difference. There are patterns, however, where I would agree with you about translucency. I like the fact that the sun doesn't glint off a black hook, especially the bend of the hook which is pointing up for most patterns. I agree with you regarding bonefish not opening up hooks, but many of the flies I tie for bonefish are also terrific flies for permit and a good sized permit will open a hook. #4 Fur Crabs, #4 & 6 Gyno crabs, even #4 Merkins are proving to be better flies for permit than the old #1 or 1/0 Merkins that were being used even a few years ago (and probably still are in some places and/ or conditions.) I just find that when most guys are quizzed on the subject their main factor in choosing certain hooks like the 34007 comes down to price, and as I stated in my first post on this thread that's a false economy. That's especially true since a few dozen bonefish flies can last for several trips. I just don't see saving 20 cents or so per hook as being worth it. It's sort of like when my mother-in-law travels half-way across town to buy two heads of lettuce because they're 50 cents cheaper per head at that store than the store in her neighborhood.
I am also a big fan of the TMC 811s for flats fishing. I use them predominately on the northeastern flats for striped bass sight fising but also use the smaller sizes for most of my standard bonefish patterns (gotchas, etc). Very reliable and razor sharp. I use non-toxic eyes so the high grade alloy in a lighter wire hook is less prone to swim wrong with the thinner wire hook. It's a good choice when looking for a light, tough hook. The barbs are tiny and easy to smash.
As far as color, if it looks like the forage species it's a good color. If there are bronze highlights on the crab you are imitating, let's say brown rubber legs, the bronze hooks are great for the task. Most of the time the matte finish on stainless goes well with the sand colored gotchas I use.
Only stainless hooks will last you years of angling between saltwater fishing trips. I was surprised to catch my first Aruba bonefish (far from being a destination) last year on the exact same fly that I caught a Florida Keys bone seven years prior. It was a touch rusty near the bend of the hook off the dressing but the fish didn't seem to mind.
I soon lost the fly on another bone that rubbed me off on the coral (Malmok bones are notorious for doing this) but because it was stainless it last for almost a decade in my bonefish box and I'd still have it today were it not for the fish's clever antics.
The Daichi, TMC are very similar hooks.
Hi JR Spey
I'll try to explain my points.
In my opinion most bonefish flies, certainly in the Bahamas are best if they seem transluscent. A black hook is very visible on a normal sand flat.
With regard to the Mustad 34007, these hooks are totally adequate for bonefish flies and are not too expensive. Even if you say these hooks were the best 20 years ago and now there are better - so what. If it is not broken, don't mend it.
Bonefish do not straighten hooks or break them in my experience as they are not "dirty" fighters yes they run but then they tire.
Maybe you have more experience than I have however I have caught many hundreds of bonefish and a good number over 12lbs.
Cool on the xpoints. Used to use them for stripers and blues in larger sizes and they are friggin primo for longevity and hookups. Don't think I missed a strike with the x-point clousers I tied up. Didn't hink about them for a BF hook. Many thanks!
|I'm curious as to why black is a bad color for a bonefish hook? I also find it interesting that all the best saltwater hooks today are not stainless steel and yet you advise that the hook has to be stainless. Why is that? With just a little bit of care the carbon steel hooks do not rust, are simply better hooks for penetration, and are easier to get sharp and stay sharp longer. The 34007 was the best hook available twenty years ago, but there are much better hooks, even from Mustad, for the saltwater tier today.

William Shakespeare wrote about yielding up the body to the earth. Such finality arrived the 23rd of January, a Wednesday, as Gregory Paul Johnson slipped from this earth to be ushered into the halls of death.
LaVern and Doris Johnson had accepted a tiny gift from the vaults of eternity on May 7, 1966, in Alexandria, Minn. Then as so many journeys occasion upon this earth, his pathway sojourns also included names such as Arendal, Webster, Stendal, Ohio and finally Malden, pinpointed in Minnesota, Indiana and Illinois. As with the developing intellects of so many children, the opportunity doors of education swung open in Peterson, Northfield, Pike County and a degree from Vincennes where the destinies of robotic and human intermingled. An achievement award for 20 years dedicated lathe and milling machine employment service with Sunstrand in Peru and Freeport resulted in habitation decor.
In his final fleeting moments of the Jan. 23, his mother bent over his face and she heard his barely audible voice, "I must get to work." He then glanced at his sister, Sheryl Harris, and brother, Thomas, at that setting, scores of miles distance precluded for this sister Nancy and brother William also being present. As also for various relatives in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indiana.
Gregory presently resides out beyond the stars and galaxies, with the infinities of so many others who preceded into that sojourn — from those tiny gifts to the mission God respectively bestowed upon them, their consignment is forever.
A memorial service for Gregory Johnson will be at noon Monday at the St. John Lutheran Church in Peru. Burial will be private.
The Norberg Memorial Home, Princeton, is assisting the family. Condolences may be left at www.norbergfh.com.

Reality Check: Group attacks Baldwin on health care
Group led by Karl Rove is running ad in U.S. Senate race
MADISON, Wis. - A conservative super PAC has been hard at work trying to label Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin as "too liberal" for the U.S. Senate.
The group Crossroads GPS, a super PAC headed by former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove, has been using much of its unlimited campaign donations to attack Baldwin.
The group's latest television ad takes on Baldwin's record on health care.
The ad says Baldwin pushed for an extreme takeover of health care, playing a clip of Baldwin saying, "I actually was for a government takeover of medicine."
WISC-TV found this needs clarification. Baldwin supported a health care bill in 2009 called the United States National Health Care Act, which would have provided all Americans with free health care. The plan was what many call a "single-payer" system, where medical care is decided by patient and doctor but completely paid for by the government.
"It would go beyond Obamacare to create a government-controlled health system, paid for by crushing new taxes on the middle class," the ad says.
WISC-TV found the tax argument misleading. The bill outlined that the program would be paid for in four ways: from existing sources of health care revenue like Medicare and Medicaid; increasing income taxes on the top 5 percent of income earners; creating a new tax on payroll and self-employment income that would be based on how much someone made; and starting a tax on stock and bond transactions.
The bill never outlined how much those taxes would be nor did the Congressional Budget Office ever take a look. Arguably the payroll tax would increase for middle class families, but the sponsors of the bill argued that would be offset by the fact that families would no longer pay health care premiums or out-of-pocket costs.17035332
"Tammy's plan would outlaw the private health insurance that families depend on," the ad says.
WISC-TV found this is also misleading. The bill would not outlaw insurance companies but essentially make private insurance unnecessary. The government would provide and pay for all health care, replacing whatever private insurance a family currently had.
Private insurance companies could provide "supplemental coverage" for benefits that "are not medically necessary," such as cosmetic surgery.
Ultimately the bill died in committee, but does Baldwin still support this type of plan?
A spokesman for her campaign would only tell WISC-TV that Baldwin would push to fully implement the president's health care law.
Leading up to the election, WISC-TV will do Reality Check reports on the candidates' claims along with the ads backing them. You can email ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com and find past Reality Checks under the politics tab on Channel3000.com.

Differential Equations, Mechanics, and Computation - Richard S Palais and Robert A Palais
It is hard to imagine a more original and insightful approach to classical mechanics. Most physicists would regard this as a well-worn and settled subject. But Mark Levi's treatment sparkles with freshness in the many examples he treats and his unexpected analogies, as well as the new approach he brings to the principles. This is inspired pedagogy at the highest level.
--Michael Berry, Bristol University, UK
How do you write a textbook on classical mechanics that is fun to learn from? Mark Levi shows us the way with his new book: "Classical Mechanics with Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control: An Intuitive Introduction." The combination of his unique point of view with his physical and geometrical insights and numerous instructive examples, figures and problem sets make it a pleasure to work through.
--Paul Rabinowitz, University of Wisconsin
This is a refreshingly low key, down-to-earth account of the basic ideas in Euler-Lagrange and Hamilton-Jacobi theory and of the basic mathematical tools that relate these two theories. By emphasizing the ideas involved and relegating to the margins complicated computations and messy formulas, he has written a textbook on an ostensibly graduate level subject that second and third year undergraduates will find tremendously inspiring.
--Victor Guillemin, MIT
This is an intuitively motivated presentation of many topics in classical mechanics and related areas of control theory and calculus of variations. All topics throughout the book are treated with zero tolerance for unrevealing definitions and for proofs which leave the reader in the dark.
Some areas of particular interest are: an extremely short derivation of the ellipticity of planetary orbits; a statement and an explanation of the "tennis racket paradox"; a heuristic explanation (and a rigorous treatment) of the gyroscopic effect; a revealing equivalence between the dynamics of a particle and statics of a spring; a short geometrical explanation of Pontryagin's Maximum Principle, and more.
In the last chapter, aimed at more advanced readers, the Hamiltonian and the momentum are compared to forces in a certain static problem. This gives a palpable physical meaning to some seemingly abstract concepts and theorems.
With minimal prerequisites consisting of basic calculus and basic undergraduate physics, this book is suitable for courses from an undergraduate to a beginning graduate level, and for a mixed audience of mathematics, physics and engineering students. Much of the enjoyment of the subject lies in solving almost 200 problems in this book.
Request an examination or desk copy.
This book is published in cooperation with Mathematics Advanced Study Semesters.
Undergraduate and graduate students interested in classical mechanics and ordinary differential equations.
"This book can be recommended to students and also to everyone involved in preparing an introductory course in advanced classical mechanics, due to the well-selected material and, even more so, the clear presentation."
-- Zentralblatt Math
"One of the most valuable aspects of the book -- unfortunately rare among textbooks -- is that we see an author in command of his subject who shares not just the bare facts but how he thinks about them and how all the pieces fit together."

This may seem extreme but this classic French dish is a great way to celebrate fresh garlic at its best. All garlic softens in taste with long cooking and this is a favourite recipe of garlic aficionados.
Serves 4
1. Cut a medium-sized chicken into eight pieces and season these well with salt and pepper.
2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy based pan. Brown the chicken pieces, skin side down to start, turning them to get a even colour. Do this in batches to keep the heat up in the pan.
3. Reduce the heat and tuck 40 peeled garlic cloves under the chicken to make a layer on the base of the pan. Shake the pan so the garlic becomes lightly browned.
4. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine and 1/2 cup of chicken stock. Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate all the browning residue. Cover and continue cooking until the chicken juices run clear.
Serve the chicken, garlic cloves and all the juices with rice or hand-cut fried potatoes.
Leftover chicken can be cut into smaller chunks and added to a risotto. Mash any leftover garlic bulbs and add these, too.

Thread: Help with Rainbow Chiclid Fry
Help with Rainbow Chiclid Fry
Okay, so my rainbows after pairing are on there 2nd attempt of having fry and i need some help and advice
Last time I put up a tank separation but the fry still got through the little gaps after a weak then the remaining got eaten
by the male wanting to spawn again so im thinking this time separating the fry.
Today is the day they hatched and become wriglers.
Im wondering when to separate the fry and how?
I dont have another tank for the fry, can i use some type of container?
If so how should this be set up?
I have a matured internal filter currently getting used in my 100G which i could use but i think it would be too powerful in a container.
Can i use a airpump and do daily w/c?
Thank you in advance!100 gallon dirt planted tank
120 gallon - in progress
You can separate fry when they are free swimming, but what is typically done is that the parents are removed because they are easier to catch.
I would just get ready for the next time, and not worry about this batch. You will need a heater, sponge filter, and air pump as well as another tank.

|>> Archive: Salmon & Steelhead Flies Spey flies to mixed wings, new innovations
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thunder & Lightning
Fly Tyer - Nbrandon (Neil)
Pattern - Thunder & Lightning
Hook: size 4 salmon/steelhead
Tag: Oval silver tinsel and yellow silk floss
Tail: Tip of orange chinese rooster hackle
Butt: Peacock herl
Body: Black floss
Rib: Oval gold tinsel
Hackle: Orange chinese rooster hackle at second rib
Throat: Blue guinea
Wing: Moose body hair
Tying Instructions:
1. Lay down a layer of thread all the way back to directly above the barb of the hook. Tie in the silver tinsel, make 2 turns around the hook moving forward, and tie it off.
2. Tie in the yellow silk directly after tinsel. Begin wrapping up the hook and stop directly over the point of the hook. Tie it off and trim.
3. Snip off a little of the rooster hackle tip, and tie it in directly over the point of the hook. Put the rest of the hackle away for later.
4. The tail should stop just short of being directly over the bend in the hook. You can put golden pheasant crest in too if you want to be fancy.
5. Tie in a peacock herl, and a strip of gold tinsel at the same time. The peacock should be dangling off the back of the hook, and the tinsel should be draped over the hook towards the eye. Make a few wraps of peacock herl, until you're happy and then tie it off and trim.
6. Pull the gold tinsel out of the way and then start making nice wraps towards the center of the hook.
7. Tie in the hackle that you clipped the tip off for use in the tail. You're going to want it to fall about where you think the second wrap of gold tinsel will be. A wrap or two back from the middle is usually right on.
8. Continue wrapping the black thread forward until you get close to the head. Leave more room for the head than you would with featherwing.
9. Wrap the gold tinsel forward, careful to pick out any orange hackle fibers that might get caught. Tie it off and trim when you meet up with your bobbin.
10. Fold the orange hackle back and start palmering around the hook, more or less following your tinsel. When you get close to the head, I like to add a few extra turns for more body. Force the fibers to lay back and not get caught under each other. Tie off and trim.
11. Hold the blue guinea feather at the tip and stroke downwards to separate the fibers. Lay it on the hook, tie it in and trim the tip. Make a few wraps directly in front of the orange hackle, pulling each wrap back so it doesn't get funky (technical term). After you're satisfied, tie it off and trim.
12. Lay down a few turns of thread between the hackle and the eye, covering up any hackle butts or other sins.
13. Grab a chunk of moose hair, cut it out, stack it, and then pick out the just fibers. [Note: Some of these flies were tied between sessions of tying elk hair caddis, so if some look like Don King, I apologize] The tip of the moose should align with the tip of the tail. Tie it in, trim it away from the eye, build a nice head on the fly.
14. Whip finish, & coat w/ cement if you want.

Interview: Steve Vai and Tosin Abasi
Do you practice like that, Tosin? Fifteen hours a day?
ABASI: Yes, for the same reason Steve describes, which is really crazy. What happens is there's this revelation that if you put in work on something you can't do at first, eventually you can do it. And the first time that happens it is kind of like an addiction. You want it to happen again. And the more it happens, the more you're confident that it can happen. So you start chasing your potential. You realize, Yeah, eventually I might get as good as I try to get. It feeds itself. So it's not like you're locked in a room practicing under obligation. You're concerned with your potential. You're like, I'm full of potential and I've already started to unlock it. And I could spend the rest of my life doing it.
VAI: Getting better on the guitar is really just a reflection of your ability to chisel out your own doubt. Criticism can be devastating. When push comes to shove, we are all very sensitive. I know I can be. Artists have this burning desire to create something that will gratify other people—when you find the right audience. No matter what anybody tells you, we want to be appreciated; we want to feel like what we're doing has value and that we're making a contribution. But what we have to get through our heads is it's not for everybody, but it is for a select group. And when you follow your muse and your creative impulse sincerely, you find that the audience comes. They come. That's one reason why I listen to your music and I follow you.
ABASI: There's this whole faith that there's someone somewhere liking your music—a faith that there is a community of listeners who are going to have their buttons pushed by what you're doing, and they will step forward and facilitate your continuing to create. And it's true. The Animals as Leaders album was recorded in a condo with a friend of mine. No amps or mics. We plugged straight into a computer and we did this thing after work for a few weeks. All I know is that I was very freely trying to get this sound out. You know what I mean? And I find it amazing that you're bringing up qualities in it that are exactly what I wanted people to hear and exactly what I was feeling when I was doing it. It's freaky.
What do either of you think of the term djent as a stylistic designation? Is it valid?
VAI: Gent?
ABASI: Have you heard this term?
VAI: No, except like a gentleman or something.
ABASI: It's djent.
VAI Don't know it. But then I have a harp player in my band who said, "Who's Van Halen?" She didn't even know Van Halen. I said, "Did you ever hear of Led Zeppelin." She said, "I think I heard some of his music." [laughs] I mean the phrase sounds familiar, but I don't know what it is.
ABASI: Djent is supposed to be what I'm doing. You've described it already. You're hearing this sort of polymetric thing, a lot of palm muting and there might be ethereal clean tones over it. It's essentially what they're calling what this new wave of bands are doing; what I'm doing. Because you know what djent is? It's like a chug on the low strings, like djent, djent, djent. It just has more treble.
VAI: Oh, of course, yeah, I did hear that. But I never connected it.
ABASI: Meshuggah's the originator of djent. But what do I think of the term? I think people need to call things stuff.
VAI: Amen.
They called Steve shred.
VAI: Yeah.
ABASI: Anything that happens in music, if it happens with more than one individual and if it's strong enough, people will want to call it something. And it's always going to be something that you probably don't like too much. Or it's minimizing.
VAI: What's surprising to me is they call me shred and they're guys doing djent who are shredding much more than I am.
ABASI: But you know, none of that could have happened if you didn't do what you did when you did it. Whether or not you're shredding or even concerned with shredding, there's an association with this thing that you brought to guitar.
VAI: No, I get that. And I'm grateful.
ABASI: It's obvious. Djent is a silly word, I guess. It might be useful to communicate, just so someone knows what you're talking about. "Oh, they're a djent band? Okay, cool."
VAI: It's like saying dubstep or trip-hop. It locates. A lot of that I like, because I just love the sound of heavy guitars going chugga, chugga, chugga. It just moves my soul. I love it. The chuggier, the djentier, the better. So, you know, a djent by any other name....

A Massachusetts state senator says the federal government should intervene in the quest to find a final resting place for the elder Boston Marathon bomber.
State Sen. Harriet L. Chandler, D-Worcester, said Uncle Sam needs to alleviate a Wochester funeral home's onerous burden of having accepted Tamerlan Tsarnaev's corpse on Friday after it was released by the state medical examiner.
Peter Stefan, owner of the Graham, Putnam and Mahoney Funeral Parlors has told The Boston Herald his business has been beset by protesters since accepting the body, and he cannot book any new business until convincing a cemetery to provide a plot for the body.
Stefan accepted Tsarnaev's body Friday after it was initially sent to a North Attleborough funeral home, where it was greeted by about 20 protesters.
"We have a body for burial that has caused a lot of controversy and we can't continue to play this game," Stefan told The Herald. "Under normal circumstances, the government would say it's (the funeral parlor's) responsibility to find a place for burial, but this is not normal circumstances. This is a nightmare.
"My problem here is trying to find a gravesite," Stefan added. "A lot of people don't want to do it. They don't want to be involved with this. I keep bringing up the point of Lee Harvey Oswald, Timothy McVeigh or Ted Bundy. Somebody had to do those, too."
We got some bayous here in LA where he could be dumped.

Thread: what do you dose for ferts?
what do you dose for ferts?
Well long story short i figured out my algae problem came from the LACK of nutrition in my water column. So im starting with flourish comp. But im soon moving to ei method of using dry ferts. Im wondering what every one else here is dosing? Also if this works out good i might make a whole load of clay based root tabs. Looks like i can make them for pennies on the dollar. If i have good success ill be sure to share with any one whos interestedKING OF THE GOLD BARBS RAWR!!!!
I wonder if i plant one of my tiger barbs would the demon seed grow to a full tree?
gotta love them bunnies!
I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!
Best to know first what types your plants need - some plants need root tabs and some need the ferts in the water. Unless you know that, advice on levels/types is not terribly useful. Still, if you have fish, avoid any ferts with phosphates - those will be too high already. From what I've read, nitrates of 2 - 3 ppm are best for plants but if you have fish, most likely your filter may produce that level already; iron is a key one that is hard to gauge without a test kit (consider that kit if you don't mind the cost.) Iodine is another overlooked trace element that some ferts don't have. Mg and S are critical and again, some ferts/tabs have different levels ... reading the levels on the boxes/bottles is a good idea but you are stuck with the levels they provide (in the mix.) For this reason, may experts just add their own - this is highly cost effective, eleminates the need for test kits, and gives the plants exactly what they need. Finally, it is very easy to do. One aspect of plant keeping to consider vs. the shot gun approch of using pre-mixed bottles.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.
For Fishless cycling:http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ead.php?t=5640
EI is almost a guarantee for explosive plant growth if you got the lights to match. I suspect CO2 would also be a good idea if you went that route. For me personally the drawback would be the 50% water change every single week.
My personal method is way more old fashioned and roughly based around PMDD with some PO4 added.
If you do start EI I'm sure you know of http://calc.petalphile.com/ and http://www.barrreport.com/forumdispl...timative-Index
Yes i do know about those. Ei is just what im starting with as i dont have the tests needed to do pmdd. I dont mind the pwc for now.KING OF THE GOLD BARBS RAWR!!!!

i use P2s04 which is just potassium sulfate, i get it online from some guy named greg i think, i havent bought it in a while because i bought a few lbs and its lasted about 5 years now. i was tired of buying seachams potassium, and the great thing about potassium overdosing doesnt cause adverse effects. i just dump some in after water changes, my dosing method isnt very scientific i dont measure it out but i suppose one could.
after that i do the same with magnesium sulfate, more commonly known as epsom salts, bought at a local store. want to measure this out and find out how much you need, there should be some dosing charts online im sure, from some one alot smarter than me.
then i do some calcium carbonate, i just went and bought a bucket at a local pool store for like ten bucks, pool people use it to harden the water in hot tubs and pools, but its just straight calcium carbonate nothing funny in it, have to be careful with it though, it heats up when dissolved, also check for dosing suggestions from somewhere, im sure there is a reputable method for dosing.
then i take sechum fert tabs and i fill up a little bottle with aquarium water and dump one of the tabs in the bottle and shake it, a box of fert tabs with i think 8 tabs cost about 10 bucks where as a little bottle of seachum fertilizer cost about the same and uses up a lot alot quicker. the tabs and the liquid fert have the exact same ingredients, just different form and amount. i get the micro nutrients from the fert tab solution.
one can also purchase potassium nitrate and potassium phosphate in powder form but from my experience all the phosphate and nitrate ferts do is cause algae, even in small doses.
i also have co2 but im not a traditional co2 guy, i find it causes to many problems or im just to thick to figure out how to dose it properly so i just turn on my canister for a few seconds after a water change, i dont even know if it helps or not but it makes me feel better about having a pressurized co2 system not going to waste, and the plants seem to appreciate the little co2, so who knows.
im also aware of the co2 charts that coincide with PH but im lazy and what im doing seems to be working for me, i also realize what works for me and my plants/fish may not work for anyone else either but thats what i do.
potassium, magnesium, calcium, micro nutrients, little co2.

So you harden your water and chuck a load of sulfur in it with some potassium and magnesium? Wouldn't be my choice.

I have heard of people doing that kind of ferting, but its not advisable unless your doing a non stoked tank. Also on another note baking soda is an endothermic reaction you might be thinking of calcium chloride as thats an exothermic.... which brings up another question, would using CaCl harm my bb in the tank?KING OF THE GOLD BARBS RAWR!!!!

Depends on the dosage but what would you get from CaCL? (ok, Ca obviously but why?)

While there are many places a purebred puppy can be purchased, only one source can be recommended with confidence -- a responsible, reputable breeder. While places like pet shops are motivated by profit and quick turn-over, there dogs also often come from puppymills, less that choice living conditions, mass produced, and have health problems or can be sick, to name a few problems, not to even mention the usual low quality or badly breed dogs they send out. a reputable breeder only produces puppies because of a love of the breed and a dream of perfection. To that end, responsible breeders carefully screen breeding pairs, check out health issues, compliment a pedigree, work to improve faults, and breed to strengthen or enhance a line, provide the buyer with a written guarantee, and provide support and advice to the new owners throughout the dog's life. Reputable breeders are usually a member of the national breed club, but not always, and being a member of that club or selling AKC dogs in itself is no guarantee of quality or an ethical breeder alone. Some people use those memberships as a tool when talking with a less than informed buyer. It is a good thing by all means, and you should look for that, but there is plenty other things which must come along with it. A reputable breeder strives to produce beautiful dogs according to the standard of perfection for the breed, they also place equal importance in breeding dogs that have good temperaments, are sound, and are healthy.
A reputable breeder is constantly striving to produce better dogs with each generation, and their selection of dogs used for breeding is a result of years of study and a thorough knowledge of the breed. Because this type of breeder is trying to produce puppies that they can win with in the show ring, they are highly motivated to do the best breeding possible. Any puppy sold should be a pet first, a loved family member. However, not every puppy produced will meet the exceptionally high standards demanded of a top show dog. The puppies who for one reason or another are not destined for the conformation ring will then be offered for sale as companions to deserving homes.
The puppies have the same genetic make-up, pedigree, and rearing process experienced by the show puppies in the litter. These puppies are the ones conscientious, intelligent buyers purchase because they know they will have a dog that was bred because of a love for the breed. These puppies will have had top medical care, including all appropriate immunizations and worming, other test may be done and is a benefit to you the buyer and to the seller on health. These puppies will have been well fed and raised in a clean, stimulating environment that maximizes socialization and personality potential. Not mostly kept caged or crated with little socialization.
