|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
We came to the conclusion that there is by far too many oppurtunities in the PNW at this time of the year...imagine if we brought the Harvest trout (such a romantic name) into the equation.
All that I can wish is that I will someday have the time to pursue such an amazing fish...
and be thankful that they are a great quarry along the saltwater beaches in the dead of winter when the rivers are at floodstage.
Searun cutts
Searun cutthroats up to three pounds were around in western Washington state coastal river systems this weekend, I caught them in both Olympic Peninsula streams and Columbia tributaries. These are among the most beautiful trout I've ever seen, although all trout are beautiful. The largest I've ever seen over the years was mistaken for a small steelhead by it's captor and weighed by my guess 5 pounds. I've caught them over 20" myself.
Caddis patterns, muddlers, and dark streamers worked best for me. When the pics get developed I'll post them here.

Attention, dill: Please step away from the salmon. Here, the herb gets to show its versatility—and its Greek side.
Leave a Review
Delicious flavor from the combination of lemon and dill. No heavy dressings or oils, plenty of flavor. Will make this again.
this was a terrific side. i used some fresh cilantro instead of dill and it was nice and fresh!
Didn't have orzo so used farro and like others added chopped cucumber. Very good. Will make it again this w/e for BBQ with lamb kabobs.
Delicious. I added some artichoke hearts, which worked quite nicely. I imagine this will be even better tomorrow after chilling overnight.
A great salad that I've made many times. I often add cucumber and kalamata olives to my version. It also works well with some grilled chicken mixed in. I always add more vinegar than the recipe calls for.
I really liked this light, easy summer dish. I am not rating it because I did make some substitutions because I wanted to make it with what I had on hand. I chopped up some larger tomatoes (I think the juice went well with the olive oil and lemon), subbed in lemon juice for rind as I didn't have fresh lemons, put in some chopped up fresh baby spinach for color, and subbed goat cheese for the feta. Very fresh and yummy. Even great left over.
Should've titled it "FETA with Orzo"... I added the recommended 6 oz feta, and didn't taste anything but.... wish I'd added half the amount. I did chop some baby spinach to add more veggies and tone down the feta. Overall, this is a nice technique recipe for just a basic quick pasta dish, to which probably anything can be added
I love this recipe. I've been making it for years. The only thing I add is garbanzo beans, which add texture and a great taste. This is great with lamb meatballs or burgers and is perfect for picnics or barbecues. Mmm!
This was delicious! I love the fresh dill and juicy cherry tomato combo with the creamy orzo. Yum.
I've made this recipe twice in the last week. The only change I make to this recipe is to add the juice of one lemon to the pasta. Otherwise it gets a bit dry. It's such a wonderful, refreshing salad for summer!

Well my patterning for this up coming season is complete and I've attached the result. I'll give credit where credit is do, as the attached spreadsheet format comes from bantamax, who posted his example in another thread. I thought it very useful to analyze my results and get a complete picture. I tried out 7 different loads along with 4 different chokes, mostly at 40 yards, but some I was able to do at 20 and 35 as well.
My initial thoughts: Some real surprises..the loads I thought would perform best, actually did not live up to their hype or perform at all. The Federal Strut Shok and Rem Nitros were a big disappointment, as was the Win Extended Range. The Hevi-13 and Hevi Mag Blend did ok, thought it might do better, but the real surprise was the Win XX mag's which I thought were on par with the Hevi loads, but had a negligibly more evenly distributed pattern at 40 yards.
So I'm on the fence right now, but leaning towards the Win XX mag's. All loads would have performed well at 20 yards, but I want to be comfortable out to 40. Please feel free to chime in and give me your two cents worth.

9 Different Opinions On How Many Sex Partners Men Should Have
Prescriptions for a woman's "perfect" number of sex partners vary widely. So how many people should men sleep with?
Respondents to the recent survey by SeekingArrangement.com that pronounced 10 the ideal number of partners for a woman also deemed it the ideal for men. Equality!
Heidi Muller of AskMen asks, "Would you honestly tell a woman that you had bedded over 20 women, or would you be ashamed?" Interestingly, she also advises that when queried by their girlfriends, men shouldn't "give a ballpark figure like 'somewhere between 15 and 30'; that's like women saying 'it's somewhere between two and 17.'" It's not completely clear from this what the male-to-female sex conversion factor is — how many partners for a dude is equal to one for a woman?
"Dozens and dozens"
Says Ed Housewright of Single Dad House, "For a man, having dozens and dozens of sex partners means he's cool (at least to some people)." For a woman, he recommends around 5.
In a poll on The Frisky, a respondent named Lana said, "I would say the average for a guy is probably 40 to 50 women. That is just too many. Ideally, I would like a guy to sleep with 15 to 25."
Respondent Erin told The Frisky, "If a guy told me he slept with 200 women, I would be put off, but mostly because I would be worried about disease, not really about him being a womanizer." If she was upset with 200, she might not be psyched about 199 either, but the number she threw out is all we have to go on right now. Also, she seems to suggest she might be fine with 200 as long as the guy was STD-free.
Blogger Jason Mulgrew writes, "a man should never, under any circumstances, admit to having slept with more than fifteen women." He adds, "Any more than that and you're entering a world of pain — your girlfriend will make Torquemada look like the guy at the local 7-11 who's been selling you cigarettes since you were 12." Of course, this is the number he thinks a man should admit to — that is, the number he thinks women find appropriate. He doesn't put a limit on how many partners guys should actually rack up, as long as they keep quiet about it.
That's how many male respondents in one study chose as the ideal number of sex partners for men, according to Men's Health. Female respondents apparently thought five was the ideal for women.
People who believe premarital sex is sinful usually apply that to both men and women. But it's also common to claim that sex before marriage — or sex with a variety of partners — is more harmful to women than to men. The Catholic News Agency paraphrases controversial sociologists Mark Regnerus and Jeremy Uecker: "the more 'lifetime partners' a woman has, the more likely she is to be depressed and show signs of poor emotional health. Not so for men."
One of the most common answers to the number question is that for men, more is always better. In fact, just Googling phrases like "how many partners should men have" tends to turn up hits about women's numbers instead — counting up men's partners doesn't seem to occur to a lot of people. Or if it does, it's a measure of accomplishment — says a poster on one forum, "strange is like money, so more is better." Of course, there are practical limits on how many people a man can bed in his lifetime — Warren Beatty's alleged total of 12,775 is often cited as the pinnacle of what a man could hope to achieve.
That's the average of the above if you throw out "infinity" — and if you use 24 for "dozens and dozens" and 20 for "15-25." This average is even less scientific than our average for women. But it also matters less — even finding 9 data points was a difficult task. People aren't nearly as obsessed with men's "number" as they are with women's — when it comes to sex partners, guys are just supposed to take as many as they can get.

EMCOM No Longer Majority Shareholder In K-1
- Written by Rian Scalia
There's been some movement over the past few days in regards to the shares held in K-1, which is a subsidiary of EMCOM.
EMCOM is no longer the majority shareholder in K-1. Yesterday, six million new shares, for six million Hong Kong dollars were issued to LEXI INVESTMENT LIMITED. Essentially, this mean's EMCOM's stake in K-1 is now 0.085%, compared to its previous 51% stake.
So what does this mean? Essentially, it looks like K-1 is trying to raise some capital due to losing a lot of money and have found a third party in LEXI INVESTMENT LIMITED to allocate shares to and get an investment from.
There's also a release on EMCOM's website that details this issue, although it's in Japanese. What I can make out is that K-1 lost a lot of money (which we already knew) and that operating costs exceeded expectations and that by performing the allocation of shares to a third party, K-1 essentially is trying to generate some new working capital to continue operations, and ultimately try and make K-1 successful enough to be able to make money and pay off its debt and the investment.

|Inflatable Watercraft Rafts, pontoon boats, kickboats, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hey, it's no problem
That's what I try telling everyone. When you're gonna buy a premade boat, they're VERY comparible, and for a couple hundred more you'll have a more functional boat good for more then fishing.
Well, that solves that one.
|Yep, that was me. Wouldn't have even known about Skookum were it not for this board--esp. you and another fellow. Hated to part w/ the dough, but when I started pricing other boats and compared, the Skookums weren't actually that much more. Thanks to all for the help.
Good call. That should suffice really well. Those boats run fast, so need a heavier anchor. You didn't happen to mention me when you bought your boat did you??? I heard from Bill (the owner) that someone mentioned me when buying a boat and said "thanks". Wasn't sure who bought it.
|That helps a lot. I've got the Skookum Osprey 10'. Thinking of going with the 20lb. pyramid for the occasions in which I need one. Sound right to you? Thanks.
Well, you really won't need to get into a "whitewater grade" PFD unless you plan to really hit some hard whitewater. The class III you have now should do you just fine. Normally all the difference is the extra floatability you'll have. Which shouldn't be needed unless you're hitting hard water. The extra floatability (is rated in pounds) is good for water that pulls you under. But usually as I said not needed. Plus, there are a variety of vests if you do upgrade. If you're the oarsman, best vest to buy is either the standard whitewater vests WITHOUT the collar, or kayaker's vest. You'll have more mobility with the kayaker's vest. The vests with collars are designed for passengers (will be rated class III/V) and have no mobility. So pluggin the oars all day will make you sore from not being able to move like you should.
First off, what kind of boat do you have? A pontoon grade boat SHOULD NOT be anchored in anything but SLOW current. They are unsafe because of design. But whitewater grade catarafts will easily anchor in faster currents you'd fish in a driftboat. But still, always best to stay away from fast currents, especially if you're still green running these boats. Once you're accustomed to using your knife (you should ALWAYS carry a SHARP one hand opening knife to cut away anchor line with) you can dare the faster currents. I've owned standard pontoon boats and whitewater grade catarafts. The cats will ride high and fairly level, even in currents. The pontoon boats will ride a wheelie. Faster the current, the higher they will pop, and with their low weight carrying capacity, will actually get sucked UNDER if current is heavy enough.
TO answer your question though. I anchor up on head of the pockets if I'm fishing strictly from the boat and have high banks, I'll anchor up in the swifter water above (ONLY do this in a good boat, NEVER in a inexpensive pontoon type boat). I will also fish in VERY wide slots and anchor near the deep ledge on one side and cast into the seam on the other side (hard to explain, more of a deep pocket you can't stand in to wade to fish the pocket on other side). Having a spey will help here, but not alot want or need them. Besides that, you'd only need an anchor if you're running down a river and want to stop and change a setup. I've done that many times when I had my single boat.
PFD question / Anchor question
I've got a type III PFD--flyfishing pfd from Bean's, on sale from 50 to $15 a few years back. Question: should I upgrade to a whitewater PFD if I want max protection? If so, what do you recommend?
I'd like to get away without an anchor for most trips. Assuming that I'm not fishing from the boat, in what situations do you still find an anchor worth the trouble? 10 ft. pontoon boat. I know that on steep banks it's much easier just to drop anchor than to tie up; are there other situations that you'd want one even for a pontoon?

Backup Camera Regulation Expected to be Completed Dec 31

The rearview camera mandate would make it so every vehicle would have a backup camera for seeing behind the vehicle when in reverse
After many delays, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is ready to begin finalizing regulation for
rearview cameras in all vehicles
DOT Secretary Ray LaHood said he is meeting with White House officials to finalize the regulations by December 31.
We have a meeting with the White House about this in the next few days so I hope that they see the importance of this the way we do," LaHood said.
The rearview camera mandate would make it so every vehicle would have a backup camera for seeing behind the vehicle when in reverse. The idea was triggered by the 300 deaths and 16,000 injuries annually caused by a driver's inability to see behind their vehicle when backing up.
Many of the injuries and death affect young children and senior citizens.
The rearview camera regulations date back to 2007, when Congress initially approved legislation to set these standards by February 28, 2011. This
date was delayed
to February of this year, and again to December 31.
While DOT and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are both behind the making of these new standards, others, namely automakers, have worried that the cost of installing these cameras on each vehicle would drive the price up too high.
However, over time, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers has met with White House officials to discuss costs in the past in order to make it work.
Just last week,
the White House
finished its review
of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) proposal to
mandate event data recorders
(EDR) in all new vehicles.
also known as "black boxes," collect driver data such as speed, use of a seatbelt, whether brakes were applied, etc. before and after a vehicle crash. The idea behind them is to deploy better safety measures for vehicles as well as better overall vehicle design.

The Royal College of Nursing is backing the "Poems for..." project
Based in London, the Royal College of Nursing sends its monthly newsletter by surface mail to each of its 400,000 members. This month's issue will be recommending the "Poems for... project. So a large community of people will be put in touch with us.
The newsletter refers to a longer piece on the project that will go up on the Royal College's website simultaneously. The piece is headed "The Art of Nursing."
It links to a poem called "These are the Hands" by Michael Rosen. The poem celebrates the NHS and some time ago Michael Rosen gave his permission for us to publish it. Since then, we have had it translated into several languages and uploaded them all in the "Poems for...one World" collection.
But in readiness for the Royal College publicity, and to make it easier to locate and access the Rosen poems, we have recently created a new and distinct coillection on this site, called "The Art of Nursing." Once you have logged on, you can find it among the other collections in the "Downloading the Poems" section on the left hand side of the home page.
The new collection is small and consists simply of the original "These are the Hands" poem and its translations. With funding, we hope to add to that number.

Hydrocotyl (Hydrocotyl asiatica) is more commonly known as Pennywort or Centella asiatica. It is a member of the parsley family. It is found in many different varieties, including Indian Pennywort, Marsh Penny, and Thick-leaved Pennywort. It is a small plant originally found to grow in the southern region of Africa, India, Australia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and China. Other varieties of Pennywort are found throughout many other countries.
This perennial plant grows freely in rural locations, particularly near the edges of rivers and lakes. Initially, this species grows at a slow pace before spreading quickly and profusely. It does well in full sun, as well as in shade, and in well-drained, fertile soil. It is an herbaceous plant that creeps along the ground.
Hydrocotyl extract is derived from the roots and leaves of the plant. Components of the plant include tannic acid and vellarin, a volatile liquid with an oily consistency and a bitter taste. This extract is also known as Gotu Kola and Centella asiatica extract. Its versatility promotes its use for a variety of skin care uses as well as for medicinal purposes. Some studies have indicated that the active components of the extract promote the skin's natural elasticity.
Its history of use dates back many centuries to ancient times and the practices of Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, when it was commonly used to treat sexually transmitted diseases, leprosy, and respiratory infections, as well as fevers. Today, it is commonly used within the United States to treat cellulitis and varicose veins. More studies are needed to definitively determine the efficacy of this botanical ingredient for these and other uses. Its many uses are wide-ranging, touching upon both physical and mental health.
Hydrocotyl asiatica has been used in India and other locations as a tonic to stimulate a renewed level of energy, increase sex drive, or combat symptoms associated with depression and fatigue. Along those lines, extracts from this plant have been used in the treatment of senility, learning disabilities, and diseases of the mind. In mild doses, Hydrocotyl can perform as a stimulant, while larger doses can cause headache and even coma or a sense of vertigo. The leaves of the Hydrocotyl asiatica have been included in some cultures as an ingredient in fresh salads.
Traditionally, Hydrocotyl has been used medicinally to treat skin lesions, diseases, and wounds in China and India. It was also used to treat more serious problems including strains and fractures of the bone. In India, Hydrocotyl has been used as an aperient (mild laxative) for the treatment of bowel complaints, fever, rheumatism, leprosy, and ichthyosis. Poultices made with Hydrocotyl have sometimes been used to treat syphilitic ulcers. Based upon the belief that Hydrocotyl asiatica stimulate blood circulation, it has been used for centuries to assist in the healing of wounds. In the late 1880s, Hydrocotyl began to be used for medicinal purposes by the Western world.
In recent years, the popularity of using Hydrocotyl asiatica in Ayurvedic medicine as a tonic has increased considerably. Drawing from its use in Chinese and Indian medicine as a tonic to promote mental functionality and longevity, Ayurvedic medicine utilizes Hydrocotyl asiatica for those same purposes as well as to serve as a nerve tonic designed to soothe the nerves. It is considered a balancing tonic since it not only relaxes the human body, but it also energizes the spirit along with the body.
Hydrocotyl is found in hair products (shampoos, conditioners, and sprays), eye creams and treatments, anti-aging solutions, cleansing formulas, body washes, and facial moisturizers. The extract has been discovered to offer beneficial soothing effects when included in formulas intended to minimize itching of the skin. It creates a calming release from the discomfort of itching, leading to its use in skin care formulas, particularly for dry or sensitive skin types.
Hydrocotyl asiatica is considered useful in promoting collagen production and minimizing the level of excess fluid held by the body. Due to its anti-inflammatory capabilities, Hydrocotyl asiatica is used to treat hemorrhoids and varicose veins, while alleviating the symptoms of tiredness and discomfort that often accompany these conditions. It has also been found useful in reducing puffiness, swelling and mild inflammations, since it promotes circulation of the blood.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Looking at the current open
source projects, especially after visiting kernel.org made me realised
there can be two types of development:
One which is like my project, phpRPG, a project that is slowly but continuously developed with very open goals. Due to the fact that it is completely open sourced and the benefit of not have any commercial / marketing constraints, the software evolves as it goes... sometimes I don't even know where we're heading. I believe this is partly why the development is slow too. This type of development is more suitable for those with strong initiative and creativity.
One which is similar to Linux: "Linux is a
clone of the operating system
from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a
loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net." This
type of projects arises when the developer feels either
dissatisfied with the product or the need to bring more
functionality and features to the software.
I feel the need to push my PHP skills to another level. So I've taken up the second idea. A popular web-based game called Droid Arena - where you construct facilities, research technology and control a robot to explore lands and bring it to arenas to battle for experience and prizes - although only allows two weeks of trial period (before you pay), was quite addictive. Now I plan to develop another game based on this existing commercial game, available free to the public and developers.
Is this the right thing to do? Is this what open source is all about? To what extent will I be infringing copyrights?
If you care to give me a bit of guidance while I seek for the answers, let me know.

The PG&E proposed Line 123 natural gas pipeline replacement project public workshop scheduled for September 24th has been postponed to allow additional time to complete the projects environmental review. An announcement of the completed environmental document documentation and rescheduled workshop date is expected within approximately the next two weeks.PG&E is proposing replacement of approximately 3.5 miles of gas pipeline (Line 123) through Roseville as part of its Pipeline Safety and Enhancement Project (PSEP). The project was developed to comply with the California Public Utilities Commission decision to strength test or replace untested pipe in California.Because of the age of Line 123 through Roseville and its location in a highly urbanized area, PG&E proposes replacement as the preferred method of compliance. Replacement also allows opportunity to upsize the existing pipe to meet future regional growth demands and to provide a consistent diameter pipeline facilitating use of remote in-line inspection tools.PG&E presented information about the project at the July 17, 2013 Roseville City Council meeting. Download their presentation for more information about the project.More information about PG&Es pipeline replacement projects can be found at www.pge.com/gas.

There are many myths about wine storage that can easily be debunked. Some of the myths were true decades ago but in the modern era with new techniques many truisms have simply become myths now.
Red Wines
This is actually two myths put together. Red wines should be uncorked hours prior to serving and need to be at room temperature.
Red wines do not need to 'breathe' to be its best and the serving temperature for red wine is mostly a myth today as room temperatures are usually heated to 70 degrees due to central heating. So with room temperature being much over what it used to be makes both of these a myth. Some heat can change aromas and makes the alcohol more pronounced in flavor so a red wine needs to be in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes prior to serving and this will make it closer to what a cellar temperature would be.
The humidity myth is about wines being kept in a cellar with a certain amount of humidity. Figures are usually 70 percent to 95 percent humidity. This is in order to keep the cork moist.
This is all just a myth. Wine is enclosed in bottles of glass and tightly sealed by a compress cork; 1 end having about a dime-size contact to air. The other end of the cork is kept wet by the wine due to the bottles being stored on their side. Now how much humidity is going to penetrate that cork, which is very tightly compressed already? Almost none!
This might be good for wineries that store their wines for a while in wood barrels but this makes no sense for home cellars being stored in corked bottles instead of wood barrels so the need for humidity in home wine cellars is a myth.
Need a wine cellar
To have a wine cellar to store wine at home is just another myth. You don't need to store wine to get better with age. Any closet not having temperatures that vary, is free from light and vibrations will be fine for wines even if they are stored for years. Just make sure the bottles are stored on their sides in a rack or a box. If you do want your wine stored at a specific temperature then you might want to look into getting a wine refrigerator. The top wine refrigerators are not very expensive and don't take up a lot of room.
All wines get better with age
Just another myth since almost all of today's wines are made to be consumed within the year that it was bottled in. In some cases, red wine might last up to 4 years without any decline but most wine should be used within a year of the vintage.
These are just a few of the myths that have remained from centuries ago till today with new methods and equipment for making wine. There are others having to do with consumption and certainly others myths to do with storage but these are the ones the most people ask about and are the ones that are repeated the most.

"Luke, join the dark side, it's so wizard!"
Bald Ewok? That's news to me!
My wife treats me like an ATM machine. She pushes my buttons until I give her money.
Who is R4-19?? and in what movie was he supposed to appear??
As always...........L
Its listed in the Star Wars visual dictionary, but it doesnt say what movie. Its a typical R2 unit except for the head, its a cone and not that of a dome. Also its listed as an imperial droid, but I have yet to see it. It looks a lot like R2 Q5 except for the cone!
PS I finally got a pic of the clear dome R2 (R3?) units that was discussed some time ago
"Luke, join the dark side, it's so wizard!"
Ohh ok. I know what droid u are talking about. I saw a picture of him with R2-Q5 and Darth Vader. I dont remember seeing him in the movie, but IF he is there u should check out ANH inside the death star. Or ROTJ, when Vader arribes, and second when the Emperor arrives.
I'll check it out somewhere this week.
As always...........L
Ah. I wasn't sure who he was either (and have been too lazy to check my Encyclopedia). I'm pretty sure a conehead astromech accompanies the prisoners off the Tantive IV near the beginning of E4:ANH, but I can't swear to it.
That's my jacket!
Its true chuxt, there is a conehead droid in the begining of the film as u stated, but its not our missing droid, i watched the movie yesterday (ANH) and there was no sign of him, u can see at least two R2 units in the death star, but no R4-19. Maybe its in ROTJ?? Gotta check on the movie this week.
As always...........L

- Iberica, Mallorca
Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909) composed primarily for solo piano, but it was through transcriptions for the guitar that his fame was largely established. Although he never composed for the guitar, he frequently took its idioms as instrumental models and drew inspiration from the folk music of Andalusia. Isaac Albeniz began his piano studies when barely past infancy, giving his first public concert at the age of four. At six he passed the entrance examination for the Paris Conservatory, but did not enroll because of his age. At eight he embarked on his first concert tour. A few years later, he ran away from home, traveling as a stowaway on a ship bound for Puerto Rico. He then toured South America and the United States, after which he returned to Europe and studied with Liszt. At twenty he was already touring Europe and America as a mature virtuoso.
The music of Albeniz has subsequently been the subject of numerous transcriptions; many of them have become part of the standard repertoire for solo guitar. Some works, however have proved to be too complex, if not completely impossible, for a single six stringed instrument; but they are highly suitable for guitar duet. In transcribing the following pieces, we have tried to present a wide selction of Albenizs music which we feel is particularly suitable for two guitars, ranging from early compositions to very late works, influenced by impressionism. Mallorca is a hauntingly melodious barcarolle, composed in the ABA form typical for much of Albenizs music. Aragon, from the Suite Espagnole, is written in the lively rhythm of the Jota. Iberia was composed after Albeniz moved to Paris; the music reflects the influences of Berdes, Dukas, and dIndy. Cordoba, composed in 1896, is one of Albnizs most skilful compositions. It evokes the atmosphere of night in an Arabic province. The vivid music is wonderfully complimented by the sweetly melodic Moorish guzlas which accompany it. Zambra granadina, a lively oriental dance, is effective in its simplicity. Espaa (6 Hojos de Album) is an earlier work, a series of miniatures including the Tango in D which has become a universal favorite.

Coca Cola no doubt intended for this park to be used by business types, or perhaps for the students of the local university, Georgia Tech. Alas, Atlanta does not take good care of its citizens and the park is used as a place to sleep for the many homeless. And Georgia Tech students are kept from the park by a fence, or...

11.23: Evolution of Eukaryotes to Multicellular Life
If you could go back to the late Precambrian, would you recognize this as an ancestor of modern life?
This is a member of the Ediacara fauna. No one knows quite how to categorize these organisms. Some scientists think that they are the ancestors of modern life. But most scientists think that the Ediacara fauna died out. Other organisms were the ancestors of modern life. If you could go back in time maybe you could figure it out. But since no one can do that, is there any way to really know?
Life Gets More Complex
Eukaryotes evolved about 2 billion years ago. Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotes have a cell nucleus. They have more structures and are better organized. Organelles within a eukaryote can perform certain functions. Some supply energy; some break down wastes. Eukaryotes were better able to live and so became the dominant life form. You can see an example of a eukaryotic cell in the Figure below.
A eukaryotic cell. This one is from an animal.
Multi-Cellular Life Originates
For life to become even more complex, multicellular organisms needed to evolve. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes can be multicellular.
Toward the end of the Precambrian, the Ediacara fauna evolved (Figure below). The Ediacara fauna was extremely diverse. The organisms appeared after Earth defrosted from a worldwide glaciation. The Ediacara fauna seem to have died out without leaving ancestors. Other multicellular organisms appeared in the Phanerozoic.
An example of an Ediacara organism.
- Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. They also have well developed structures.
- Eukaryotes did not evolve until 2 billion years ago.
- Ediacara organisms probably went extinct. Other organisms were the ancestors to modern life.

I'm not new to the forum but tired of not understanding all of the acronyms and with all of the hype that I read about HT, I'm thinking it may be a good fix for me outside of duck season. I know to join a HRC, which I plan on making my first meeting and training day if all of the stars align this month. Are there any good sites out there or anything on this forum that I've missed that explains the different levels, expectations at each level, qualifications needed at different levels, etc. ? I have a "Pow" pup that is almost 11 months now. We are almost finished with Swim By and going by Lardy's program. I've included a pic of my Bird Boy and pup. I was also able to take my pup on his first teal hunt this year in a very controlled, dry crawfish field, where I was able to focus on him and not the hunting. I do have to say that it was hard to put the gun down with the action being fast and furious. I already train at numerous areas in my area with a few "experienced" trainers. Thanks in advance for the guidance and really enjoy reading all of the posts.

Dir. Herschell Gordon Lewis
An Egyptian caterer (!) with ridiculously bushy eyebrows and a gimpy leg messily kills various blonde-bombshells in order to use their body parts to resurrect a bug-eyed Egyptian goddess. His bloody work is not at all hampered by ludicrously inept detectives not hot on his trail.
This 'plot' synopsis is basically a load of old nonsense thrown together in a feeble effort to resemble a story that is really only required in order to connect a series of unrelated and astoundingly
Blood Feast holds the dubious honour of being the first ever 'gore movie' or 'splatter film' – a craze that rippled out from this flick and continues to make waves today, as cineplexes are cluttered with all manner of films whose plotlines could be described as nothing more than a vague means to connect scenes of depravity and sadism. Back in the early Sixties all this was new and subversive and naturally audiences thirstily lapped it up as they clambered to catch a glimpse of what would become a milestone in horror cinema.
Anyone who has seen Blood Feast will know that it is a film specifically designed around a number of grisly special effects-heavy set pieces in which buxom-bosomed blonde lovelies are hacked, slashed, decapitated, de-tongued and generally slathered in their own gore – all in the name of entertainment! These moments are sprinkled sporadically throughout a vague and plodding story with an emphasis on gross out gore effects and titillating shots of lingerie clad ladies having their tongues pulled out/ limbs lopped off/eyes gouged out by a sweaty Egyptian caterer with a gammy leg, Bela-Lugosi-wannabe eyebrows and sporting a copy of 'Ancient Weird Religious Rites'. Which incidentally is perfect bath-time reading.
Prowess and subtlety are not words in Lewis' vocabulary, and we wouldn't want them to be. The film's very raison d'être is to provide audiences with an abundance of graphic and violent imagery and showcase the splattery effects. Everything plays second fiddle to this notion. The acting in Blood Feast is gobsmackingly awful and yet wholly amusing. Stare! as Connie Mason flicks her hair and knows stuff about history and Egyptian culture! Be aghast! as actors read their lines from auto-cues! Shocking scenes of bad acting and depraved performances litter Blood Feast. This exchange is just one example of the sort of staggeringly bad dialogue and woeful delivery one can expect whilst wallowing in the sordid experience of watching this film. Yay!
As dated as the special effects are, a couple of them still manage to retain a bizarre power – particularly those featured in the shot of the dead girl on the beach; her head a bloody mess, all kinds of red wet stuff is splattered out on the sand behind her… The scene in which a woman has her tongue slowly ripped out of her throat whilst flailing around a grotty motel room is also strangely disturbing.
This sublimely trashy film clearly falls into that favourite category of 'so bad it's oh so good'. Completely tensionless, the film more than compensates with its sheer entertainment value. With no redeeming qualities whatsoever – which is pretty much why it is so damn good – Blood Feast is cheap, nasty and bloody brilliant.
I watched this from the bottom of my wine glass at a recent screening in Belfast's Safehouse Gallery as part of a new film night dubbed Texploitation. Organised by local comedians and fans of exploitation movies, Texploitation is set to take place at least once a month for the foreseeable future. For more info, simply follow the linkage…

When selecting and establishing your Winter Campsite keep the following factors in mind :
1. Camping regulations
2. Other campers
3. Wind – avoid ridge tops and open areas where wind can blow down tents or create drifts.
4. Be aware of "widow makers", dead branches hanging in trees.
5. Avoid low lying areas where the coldest air will settle.
6. Avalanche danger – select sites that do not pose any risk from avalanches.
7. Exposure – south facing areas will give longer days and more direct sunlight.
8. Water availability from lakes or streams will prevent you having to melt snow for all your water.
9. Level ground
10. Wooded areas that provide wind break and cover. Also good for setting up tarps and tying guy lines. (Watch out though, snow drifts are deceiving in the trees.)
Setting up Camp
When you first get into camp, leave your snowshoes or skis on and begin to tramp down areas for tents and your kitchen. If possible, let the snow set up for 30 minutes or so, this will minimize post holing (that's when you keep sticking in the snow like a post hole) once you take snowshoes or skis off.
Set up your tents with the doors at 90 degrees to the prevailing winds. Stake the tents out. On a cold night you can build snow walls on the windward side of the tent. Mound the sides of the tent with snow (have someone inside pushing out on the tent to keep it from collapsing. Try to build your walls about 6 inches from the tent. When the snow sets up you will have a hybrid tent-snow shelter which will have better insulation than the tent alone.
Dig out a pit in front of your tent for a porch. This makes taking your boots off much easier. Put your foam pads in the tent and unstuff your sleeping bag and place it in the tent so it can "expand" from it's stuffed size.
If the snow is deep, you may want to dig out a pit for your kitchen. Dig a pit at least 6 feet in diameter (for 4-6 people). You can mark out the circle using a ski or a rope. Dig down about 2-3 feet and pile the excavated snow around the perimeter. Pack the snow at the perimeter of the hole with your shovel. This will give you a 4-5 foot deep area, protected from the wind. You can carve out seats and benches, put your skis or snow shoes behind the pile as backrests, carve places for stoves, etc.
Here are some tips for your night time in camp – after dinner, getting warm water for water bottles, and putting gear away, it's time for bed. Fill up your water bottles with boiling water or real warm water. Put your water bottles in the tent. A warm water bottle bottle in your sleeping bag is nice. Make sure the lid is on tight and does not leak. Put other water bottles in your boots or inside a sock.
This will give you water for drinking in the morning as well as cooking water that is not frozen.
Get warm before you get into your bag. Do some jumping jacks, etc. so your heat is built up for when you get in your bag.
Get any clothing/gear you will need out of your pack as well as full water bottles and tomorrow's lunch.
At the tent door, brush off any snow with the whisk broom or glove. Sit down inside the tent entrance and, keeping your boots outside, either have your buddy knock the snow off, or remove them and brush them yourself.
Climb into the tent and close the door.
Strip off your layers of clothing to what will be appropriate in your sleeping bag. The more layers you wear the better insulated and the warmer you will be (contrary to the myth that says sleep in your underwear). However, too much clothing can compress dead air space in the bag and reduce its effectiveness.
Remove any wet/damp layers and replace them with dry ones, particularly socks.
Pre-warm your bag with your body (get it nice and toasty).
Place damp (DAMP, NOT WET!) items in the sleeping bag with you near your trunk. This will help dry them overnight.
Place your boots in your sleeping bag stuff sack (turned inside out) and place the stuff sack between your legs. This will keep them from freezing during the night and the stuff sack keeps your legs from getting wet. If you do not want to put them in your sleeping bag with you. Place them in the bag under your sleeping bag beneath your legs.
Put water bottles and food with you in the bag or in the bag with your boots.
A hat and polarguard booties are recommended to help keep you warm.
Try to sleep with your face out of the bag. This reduces moisture build-up inside the bag (which could be catastrophic for a down bag). A scarf on your neck may be better than using the sleeping bag neck drawcord (which makes some people feel a little claustrophobic and creates a difficult nights sleep).
You will probably wake up a number of times during the night. This is normal in cold weather. Your body needs to change position to allow for circulation to compressed tissues and to move around a bit so that muscle movement generates more heat. If you are still cold, eat some protein to "stoke up your furnace" Power bars are good for this. If you open one, eat it all, you do not want to leave uneaten food in your tent. If that doesn't work, wake a tent-mate for some extra warmth.
With 8 or more hours in the tent, you are likely to need to urinate in the middle of the night. Go for it! Otherwise you won't get back to sleep, and your body is wasting energy keep all that extra fluid warm. You will be surprised how quickly you can get out and back in and your body really won't chill that much.
It is useful to have a thermos of hot drink in each tent. Remember to go to the bathroom before you get in your tent. Start the night off right and you will get more rest and be ready for the next morning.
Don't forget to practice Leave no Trace. Keep in mind something may disappear in the Snow, but it will reappear in the Spring!
Happy Scouting!
Some of this material was gathered from the Princeton University Outdoor Action site.

I agree that Ireland's job could depend on this season, but only if we take a step backwards. We're not exactly poised to make a run at the Superbowl. We have a very young QB with a lot to learn and plenty of holes to fill.
We may have to overpay for him, but wallace helps our entire offense. His presence on the field means the safeties and corners need to back off. Which will open up the underneath for bess and running game for whoever our back is when the season rolls round. Admittedly wallace is not a perfect fit for our system but i still prefer him to jennings. I think he just brings a lot more to the offense. I think we sign him, resign hartline, bess in the slot and then matthews, binns and maybe a second or third rounder battling out for the other positions.
I think we should stay away from Wallace. He originally wanted $100M from the Steelers. Vincent Jackson got 5 years $55.55M last off season so you know Wallace thinks he's better than that & will command 5 years $60M or 6 years $70M. He's not a top 3, 5, or 10 receiver. I mean look at the numbers, there was a nine game stretch last year where he only averaged more than 10 yards per catch twice. Our top receiver can not disappear like that. Then comes the news yesterady from Antonio Brown that the locker room was divided with me first players. You know who the head of that table was?? Wallace. Once he get paid he's not going to do anything, he doesn't have the desire. Give me Greg Jennings & draft a hungry WR in the first two rounds.
"I will smash your face into a car windshield, and then take your mother Dorothy Mantooth out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again"
We need a true #1 reciever now. I believe we need a 2-3 person who can come in, lead the team, and provider our younger guys (draft pick, Binns, Mathews) a role model. The only person that could provide that immediate impact, I believe, is Jennings. Wallace is just to pricey for longer. If we have to overpay, lets do that for a shorter time-frame while we groom less expensive rookies.

I am finally starting to relax a bit, just in time for the work week to start again. I went to an interesting nightclub on Saturday with a couple of cow orkers and one of my roommates, and I've just been outside in Golden Gate Park (not far from my house) observing some spirited matches of chess and go.
Why am I here?
I think I remember seeing this in one of Deb Richardson's entries, and I thought I'd expand on it with regard to why I decided to get onto Advogato. I think that I became interested in Advogato primarily because of the diary feature, and I'm impressed by the way people use the diaries not only for things like "I hacked on this part of this project today" but for more personal stuff as well. Additionally, I've seen people using diary entries as another form of communication, in addition to posting comments to an article or posting an article. I've always found diaries really fascinating, and I think Advogato encourages people to keep them. I think that the open source movement is at a really interesting time in its history right now, and that it would be fascinating to go back and read some of these diaries in a few months/years.
San Francisco
It's great to be able to haphazardly stumble upon cherry blossom festivals, really great cheap Japanese food, and cool anime DVDs. Sometimes I question why I came to California, and then I have experiences with places or people that remind me why I'm here.
I'm flattered by the comparison :)
To perpetuate the anole meme: I have three anoles, Stumpy, Veronica, and Mr. Man. Stumpy was the victim of an unfortunate accident early in my anole-keeping career, Mr. Man goes around extending his throat flap at the female anoles, and Veronica is....Veronica :) They are the reason that my Linuxcare cow orkers see me wandering around the halls muttering "Crap, I need to get crickets" to myself.

|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Switch rods
Thanks for the recommendation on the switch rods.
I saw that you and Juro were involved in a thread with Mr. Meiser on another board regarding the switch rods.
They may be perfect for my needs.
Two questions though:
1. Can you really bang out much longer casts with these rods when casting 2 handed? I just want your opinion on this topic.
2. Do you think that these would meet my needs in an area without much room behind me for casting? Could I spey cast even just a little bit with these guys (my spey casting skills not withstanding)?
I am just curious. And I would like to hook up with you this summer. Last summer I flaked on you a few times for various reasons. But I hope to have more free time this summer since I am headed back to school in the Fall (so work will get less attention from me this summer!).
Thanks again,
I want to access a couple of spots from shore that I can only fish from the yak now. Spey casting is required in some spots because of obstructions behind the angler. 100 ft casts are required in other spots to get to the sweet part of the rips.
I would love to show you some NH spots this year if you are up this way.
Thanks again Juro,
I see, well ya shoulda told me
If you are going to Spey cast then a 14ft'er is a great all-around length. Because we typically use large flies you might pay some attention to Skagit lines and Scandinavian lines which pack all the grains into short heads and thus are prone to move more wind resistant flies. The shorter heads also allow more strip retrieving which is important to striper fishing.
I'll have to drive up with some rods and lines this summer.
Thanks Juro
Thanks for all of your words of wisdom.
I have no desire to use the 2 hander from the yak. No way! Yak fishing is tough enough with a 9 footer.
I have a couple of reasons for wanting this rod from shore. I have found some stellar rips on the river that have little room for a back cast. So spey casting in these areas would be attractive (although my D loop needs plenty of work).
I also found some great spots with tight access along the rocks in Rye.
However, more often than not I would be overhead casting. There are 2 beaches that I frequent in August and September and they are overhead casting territory.
The good news: the bulk of the Spring rush of fish does not occur until the 2nd week in June up here in the North Country.
So, I will give you a ring at the end of May when I make my annual pilgrimage to Mecca (Chatham style) to try one of your 2 handers.
Thanks again for the inputs and offers Juro,
First of all I am no longer commercially involved with CND however it's no secret I love the rods. The config I like is not part and parcel to any brand, it's form and function.
I would recommend that you experiment with one of my 14ft rods before making a purchase. I would suggest that a rod that exceeds the kayak in length might prove a bit cumbersome out there.
If you are thinking of using this as a shore weapon, that makes more sense but unless you are planning to Spey cast (verses overhead for distance) then 14ft is still more graphite than you need IMHO.
Longer two-handers are not designed for comfortable strip retrieving to impart action on the fly and the extra rod blank's purpose is to allow a lot of line to be left out of the guides while manipulating into a d-loop, and then providing extra power even when the line is not extended into a back-cast.
They are often made with an action that is more intent of holding a flexed load within it's softer taper to facilitate easier Spey casting.
An overhead cast does not require this action nor length because it is a different cast entirely to make.
Each reaches his/her own conclusions about what works for them but if you noticed what started out as debate with fellow two-handers on this topic when I likely had the most hours experimenting a few years back has now become concensus on the shorter lengths as others have spent more time applying two-handers themselves.
I do not want to unilaterally push you one way or the other but do yourself a favor and try a couple of my two-handers for yourself before you commit dollars for a saltwater two-hander.
Also contact Topher Browne who is a pro staff / instructor at LL Bean and experienced with two-handers.
Mike you and your brother and father have been very generous and a great asset to the Forum and I am completely sincere about my offer to loan you a 14ft rod and an 11ft rod to experiment with for yourself.
More on the Bean rod
Thanks for the reply.
I am looking at a 4-Piece 14', 9/10 wt rod. They do not mention the grain weight specs for this rod so I will call them tomorrow to figure that our.
I do not want to link to the photo so here is a description of the handle:
- Below the reel seat looks like 6-7 inches of cork with a fighting butt
- Above the reel seat is 12 - 14" of cork
I will post more details later because I am curious on your opinion regarding the specs for this rod vs. the specs that you like on the CNDs.
|What are the specs on it? (length, rating, grain range, handle config)
I would recomend one of the new Beulah switch rods. They are well priced and cast pretty well. I have one that you can try (I'm in Kittery often in the summer).
Go to beulahusa. com
LL Bean Streamlight 2-handed Rods
To all the 2 handed rod enthusiasts out there,
I am looking for a 2 handed fly rod to fish the Piscataqua River and the NH coast this year.
I had a great year fishing this area last year but I will admit that my best days in the Piscataqua were in the kayak - I was not as successful fishing the rips from shore with the fly rod. I need to bang out longer casts and I want to be able to mend line better in some very speedy rips.
Do you guys think that the Bean Streamlight 2 hander is a good rod to start out with for these endeavors?
At $195 it fits my budget pretty well. I need another $500 rod like I need a hole in the head. I also need a good warranty. I broke 3 fly rods (all on fish) in the last 2 years!
If not the Bean rod then what rod would you recommend and why?
I welcome any and all recommendations and I am looking for some advice before I try to cast some rods and make my final decision.
