Bugging the bugs, organicallyJanuary 10, 2014 9:26 PM
As a mother-to-be in 2008, Jayme Bella had a lot going on in her life. A nor'easter that left her North Jersey home flooded and infested with flying insects only added to the chaos.
And then, it set her on a course to entrepreneurship.
Now living in Langhorne, Pa., Ms. Bella is the mother of two and chief operating officer of Greener Days LLC, founded in 2010 with her parents, Alan and Sharon Neiburg. The company's Greenerways Organic Bug Spray has garnered national and international sales and interest from the QVC network.
Greenerways Organic also has ongoing research and development for a biodegradable organic hand-and-surface wipe, as well as what is believed would be the first certified-organic baby wipe.
"It was serendipity," Ms. Bella, 34, said of the storm that sent her out in search of an organic spray to kill the mosquitoes that had become part of her soggy home. "Everything we found was filled with chemicals and DEET."
An article in National Geographic about essential oils and their medicinal uses provided the spark for Greenerways. When the citronella Ms. Bella planted in her North Jersey backyard helped address the post-storm mosquitoes, she talked to her parents about going into the organic bug spray business.
Alan Neiburg, 67, had spent 33 years selling medical/surgical supplies. Sharon Neiburg, 61, is a retired literacy coach for a local school district and now a facilitator for the University of Pennsylvania's Penn Literacy Network.
Ms. Neilburg's 401(k) was used as seed money for Greenerways. She holds the title of company owner, to qualify it for financing and other considerations provided to women-owned businesses.
A certified organic bottler in Gardena, Calif., helped the Neiburgs and Ms. Bella, formerly a sales executive in New York City specializing in jewelry and accessories, figure out the right amounts of oils for their bug spray, which is made from citronella, lemon grass and cedar oils, and triple-filtered water.
Greenerways Organic Bug Spray hit the market in 2011, originally called Bug-It-Off -- until Ms. Bella and her parents learned inclusion of the word "off" was an infringement of SC Johnson & Son Inc.'s trademark for its Off! insect repellent.
So Greenerways opted for the less creative name.
"It cost us a lot of money because we had to change our labels," Mr. Neiburg said. But sales took off as the company's principals headed to trade shows, where they made connections with Australian, Japanese and Chinese distributors.
Revenue grew 160 percent in 2013, Mr. Neiburg said, declining to provide specific sales figures. The company is not yet profitable, "but our losses get far less," he said.
In 2012, sales dropped by a third because Greenerways lost its Chinese distributor after the government there curtailed organic imports, Mr. Neiburg said.
Because bugs are seasonal, cash flow has been inconsistent, Mr. Neiburg said. Securing accounts in Australia has helped even out revenue because bug season there lands when it's fall and winter here.
The seasonal nature of the business is why Greenerways is not expected on QVC until closer to spring.
"The next question is, 'Will the folks who enjoy watching QVC on a daily basis love it?' " said Jeff Oliphant, whose J.W. Oliphant & Associates LLC. in Connecticut brings products to market only at QVC. "We think they will."
Starting in January, an international-business intern from Temple University's Fox School of Business and Management will help Greenerways develop a business plan and crowdfunding campaign for its next product-development phase: the wipes.
Greenerways Organic Bug Spray is available at www.greenerdays.net. The 2-ounce spray sells for $5.24; the 4-ounce size, $7.99.

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Southaven Police Chief Tom Long challenged the North Mississippi Law Enforcement Training Center's newest graduating class to be compassionate and diligent as they begin their careers.
The 23 graduates spent the last 10 weeks living, eating and breathing law enforcement while training at Tupelo's law enforcement academy.
For some departments, the academy graduation marked an opportunity to expand.
"We were a part-time and reserve officer department and now we're trying to go to full-time officers," said Verona Police Chief Anthony Anderson. "(Roy Noe) makes seven full-time officers, up from just two-full time officers when I started."
In Friday's graduating class, six academy grads put themselves through the 10-week course without the promise of a position or a department to sponsor them.
"Right now, a lot of these guys still aren't sure about their jobs," said Scott Speaks, director of the training center. "They'll go out looking for a job in hopes their certification gets them one step closer. It says a lot about their initiative and perseverance that someone will take their own money to pay to go through this 10-week challenge."
Two of the self-sponsored graduates already have been given jobs with the Corinth Police Department.
For 25-year-old Brittany Gilleylen, graduating was an opportunity to pursue her dream.
"So many doors have opened for me and I feel like this is not just a job but a calling," she said. "I feel like this is the direction God has led me. When you dream about something and it's constantly in your heart, you pursue it."
Gilleylen worked in the Oxford Police Department's reserve program before they hired her and sponsored her time in the academy.
When Friday's graduating class began the academy, there were 28 cadets. Speaks said the 23 that completed the course worked hard from before the sun came up until long after it set.

Duplicate File Remover is a powerful tool to locate file duplicates on your computer (dedupe). It scans the computer and lists duplicate files based on Byte for Byte Comparison, which ensures 100% accuracy.
It can find duplicates of any files: text, binary, music, video or images. For multimedia files (MP3, OGG/Vorbis, WMA), the contents of the following tags can also be analyzed: "Artist", "Album", "Title" and "Comment". The file Summary property can also be searched: title, subject, category, and author.
Duplicate files can be deleted, hard-linked, or moved. The list of duplicate files can be sorted, exported to an HTML report, and acted upon.
You may not realize how many duplicate files you have on your computer, after numerous downloads from the Internet, or scattered over your home or corporate network. Duplicate files are in most cases redundant and unnecessary, so keeping them is merely a waste of hard disk space. Your hard drives may be full of extra copies of documents, MP3s, photos and videos waiting to be removed. Duplicate File Remover will help you reclaim valuable disk space and improve data efficiency.

kcdyer, Friday June 12, 2009 - 2:22pm
Busy couple of days we've had this week, but registration is now safely open and we are taking on attendees by the dozen every day. Welcome to you all!
A reminder that over the next few weeks we will be firming up our schedule. This year there will be no brochures printed. We made this call for a couple of reasons. In the past, in order to get the brochures printed on time, we had to have them done about now -- literally 5-6 months prior to the conference. This means that by the time the conference [with it's cast of more than 60 presenters and 75 workshops, panels and special events] rolls around, schedules and presenters have inevitably changed somewhat, the brochures are dated and require a correction sheet supplement.
Instead, this year, we will have a printable version available on-line, and will keep our on-line information as up-to-the minute and accurate as possible.
For the next week, you can anticipate there may be a few changes in scheduling as we sort through the opening details. You can rely on the information on our registration form as being the most correct -- any changes we have are reflected there first, before we even put them up on the website.
Thanks to all for your patience, loyalty and enthusiasm. Your Board and volunteers are working hard to make SiWC 2009 our best conference ever.
Edited to add: We WILL, however, be producing posters with all the highlights from the conference. If you'd like a few to help us spread the word, email me at email@example.com and I'll make sure you get as many as you'd like.

1.5: Unit Planning
Content Overview
Digestion and Nutrition: What foods do you eat and which ones form a balanced diet? What happens to these foods in your body?
This unit introduces students to the concept of nutrition, including selection of foods in their diet and what constitutes a balanced, healthy diet. Following the exploration of nutrition, students investigate the anatomy and physiology of the human digestive system-its structure and basic components, how it works to provide energy and the building blocks for cell functions, and some of its problems. Students are encouraged to use this knowledge daily to make good personal decisions and wise food choices. They conduct laboratory explorations to learn about nutrients, digestive enzymes, and the relationship between the structure and function of different parts of the digestive system.
Through exploration students learn that
- Food is important because it provides the energy needed for body functions and the building blocks for body growth and the repair of tissues.
- Each person requires a certain amount energy from food, measured in calories (Cal).
- Digestion of food begins in the mouth where food is chewed and enzymes begin to break down carbohydrates. Digestion continues in the stomach where enzymes begin to break down protein.
- Digestion of foods is completed in the small intestine through the action of enzymes from the pancreas and small intestine. The products of digestion are then absorbed through the intestinal wall.
- Peristalsis, the rhythmic muscular contractions of the digestive tract, are important in helping digest and move food through the digestive tract.
- Food choices are influenced by cultural and social forces and play an important role in maintaining good health.
How is the unit structured?
Section 1: Why Do We Eat?
Section 2: Food Is Fuel
PE Figure 2.2 Food pyramid
Section 3: Mouth to Stomach in One Swallow
Section 4: A Journey through the Intestine
PE Figure 4.7 Students' "capsule" surrounded by chyme particles.
How Is the Unit Structured?
Sections 1 and 2 introduce students to the study of nutrition, the six basic nutrients, and which foods contain each nutrient. Students complete activities to develop the idea of food as energy, measured in calories (Cal), which provides fuel and raw materials for daily activities.
Sections 3 and 4 focus on the processes of digestion. Through lab and text activities, students learn about the structure and function of the digestive tract. They investigate how foods are broken up into smaller particles by chewing and enzyme action. Through a simulation of peristalsis, students discover and experience how materials move through the digestive tract. They continue to explore the structure of the small intestine and calculate how much the villi increase surface area to facilitate absorption of digested foods.
Section 5 extends concepts of nutrition to explore some cultural and social influences and how we choose foods in response to these forces.
Section 6 addresses staying healthy and discusses other factors affecting digestive system function and good health. These factors include exercise, sleep, target heart-rate zone, and sources of stress.
Section 5: Food for life
PE Figure 5.3 Students use this map to discuss foods people grow and eat around the world.
Why Teach this Unit? Connections to the Real World
Adolescents appreciate the opportunity to make their own decisions. In order to make good decisions, they need information. This unit provides students with information about one of the primary body systems-a system that, through their choice of actions, affects their health, how they feel, and how they function daily.
Questions to Consider throughout the Unit
Which foods can you choose to improve your diet?
Why is it important to make careful food choices?
What environmental, social, and cultural factors affect your food choices?
How can you take control of your nutrition and daily activities to help your body function and grow well?

Teacher's Guide Overview
The Digestion and Nutrition unit is built around a variety of student activities. Text material can be used to introduce, reinforce, and extend the concepts developed in the activities. The activities are the foundation of this unit, so the unit's success depends on students' involvement in the activities. Embedded activities are interrelated, since the concepts developed in one may be applied in another.
Section Planning
For each section, you'll find extensive advance planning for the student activities and the section topic. Key ideas, section objectives, background information, suggestions for introducing activities, and the materials needed for each activity are listed on the Section Planning page. Review this information ahead of time to ensure that materials for each activity are available when you need them.
Support for Embedded Activities
Embedded activities are those activities contained or "embedded" in the student edition. Procedures for each embedded activity are contained in the student edition. In the Teacher's Guide, you'll find activity planning information, activity assessment, and student reproducible pages for each embedded activity.
Enrichment Activities
Enrichment activities are activities found in the Teacher's Guide. These activities are designed to extend and enrich students' learning experiences. Complete Enrichment activities, including Teacher Activity Notes and the student procedures and reproducible pages, are located at the end of each appropriate section of the Teacher's Guide.
GroupWork Activities
Learning science is a process that is both individual and social. Students in science classrooms often need to interact with their peers to develop a knowledge of scientific concepts and ideas, just as researchers, engineers, mathematicians, and physicians who are working in teams do to answer questions and to solve problems. The GroupWork activities of the HumBio Curriculum for Middle Grades have been developed to foster a collaborative environment for groups of students. Students plan experiments, collect and review data, ask questions and offer solutions, use data to explain and justify their arguments, discuss ideas and negotiate conflicting interpretations, summarize and present findings, and explore the societal implications of the scientific enterprise. In short, GroupWork activities provide an environment in which students are "doing science" as a team.
For more information, refer to "Using GroupWork Activities" on TE page 98. The specific GroupWork activities for this unit can be found on TE pages 101-136.
The research and action projects in HumBio are varied and provide students with time to explore a particular topic in depth. With Projects, students have the opportunity to take a position based on knowledge gained through research, debate an issue, and devise a plan of action. In this way, students can apply what they are learning to larger issues in the world around them.
Projects for this unit include
- Research Questions
- A Nutritional Lunch
- A Healthy Food Plan
- Waste in the Fast-Food Industry
- Examining Eating Disorders
Assessment Overview
Within each section of the unit there are suggestions for assessment that can be used individually or in combination to develop a complete assessment package. The list below describes the variety of assessment tools provided.
Apply Your Knowledge questions appear throughout each section. They can be used as homework assignments and as ways to initiate a class discussion. These questions are designed to assess
- communication skills
- depth of thought and preparation
- problem-solving skills
- ability to apply concepts to related or big ideas
- how well students relate their new knowledge to different problems
What Do You Think?
These questions appear in each section. They provide students with opportunities to think and write about the concepts they are learning in a larger context. you can use these questions to assess
- writing skills
- problem-solving abilities
- creativity and depth of thought
- the ability to analyze and summarize
Journal writing prompts are suggested throughout the unit. These prompts provide opportunities for students to write critically and creatively about concepts and issues. The writing products can be used to assess
- writing skills
- depth of thought
- and the ability to explain and expand on concepts
Review Questions
Review Questions are located at the end of each section. These questions can be used for written responses or as the basis for class discussion. These questions are designed to assess content knowledge and whether students can explain the concepts explored in the section.
Activity-Based Assessment
Inquiry-based student- centered activities are the foundation of the Human Biology program. The unit is rich with relevant and exciting activities that introduce, support, or reinforce concepts students are exploring. within the Teacher's Guide, you'll find extensive teacher information, including assessment strategies, for each type of activity:
- Embedded Activities

Getting Started
Keep Students Interested. Encourage students to read the text: It is the story line that ties all of the content together. Every effort has been made to make the text interesting to students and appropriate to their reading level. Text material can be used to introduce, reinforce, and extend the concepts addressed within the activities.
The success of the unit depends on the completion of at least the Embedded activities. And keep in mind that some activities are related since the data obtained in one may be used in another.
Plan Ahead. The unit is activity-based, and you can select the activities that will best meet your class' needs. The activities are listed in the Unit Activities chart on pages xiv and xv and in the Activity Index on page 150. Mini Activities are shorter and can be done with minimal teacher input; they are located in the margin of the student edition. The Embedded activities in the student text are investigations that require some planning and setup time; these are the essential activities within the unit. Other investigations called Enrichment activities are located at the end of each section in the Teacher's Guide. Enrichment activities expand student knowledge of the concepts explored in the given section.
A variety of projects were designed to extend the content of the unit. These include ongoing class projects, school projects, and/or community projects. Projects are located at the end of the Teacher's Guide, beginning on page 137.
Customize the Unit. Each section of this unit builds upon knowledge gained in the previous sections. Teaching timelines are provided on TE pages xxii-xxiii. The first timeline on TE page xxii demonstrates how to complete this unit within a three week schedule. The timeline on TE page xxiii demonstrates how to complete this unit within a five-week schedule. Both of these timelines highlight the essential activities. If your class has time to study the unit over a longer period of time, many additional activities are available.
Allow Time for Projects. Consider having students start projects at the beginning of the unit and then prepare those projects for presentation as a culminating event.
Use Current Events. Ask students to bring in newspaper and magazine articles that relate to what they are studying each week. Relating the unit content to current events helps students see that what they are doing in class is, in fact, relevant to their lives outside of school. Students can use current events to make group scrapbooks, bulletin boards, and posters or to develop class presentations.
Make a "question box" available. Have students write down questions they have about what they are investigating and put them in the box. At appropriate times select questions and read them to the class to generate discussion. These questions can also be used to initiate class research projects.
Use a Variety of Resources. We encourage you and your students to use a wide variety of sources for information. The activities provide rich opportunities for students to explore a variety of concepts. The more students incorporate information from resources outside the classroom, the richer their learning experiences will be. Use computer services for gathering student and teacher information, for networking with students in different schools and with community resources, and for contacting experts in the field under study. A list of resources can be found on page 148 of this Teacher's Guide.
Make Career Connections. Encourage students to investigate careers related to the content of the unit. Invite scientists, physicians, and technologists working in the field to come to your classroom to discuss career opportunities, their research, and specific topics of interest.
Plan for Field Trips. Field trips to local hospitals, industrial sites, or universities need, of course, to be arranged well in advance. Contact the public affairs offices of these institutions for assistance.
Address Health Concerns. Be aware of any special health problems your students may have. Some students may have health conditions that would make it uncomfortable for them to participate in certain activities, such as those that require exercise or that relate directly to their particular health problems. For students unable to participate fully in these activities you may wish to create an alternative assignment or have them use data from another group. If the class is appropriately prepared, the affected students may want to share information about their special circumstances with the class in order to increase empathy and knowledge of all students.
Connect with Other Disciplines. The interdisciplinary web provided is a guide for planning if your school uses an interdisciplinary team approach. The web classifies the unit's activities and projects by related discipline-language arts, math, social studies, physical education and health/nutrition, and visual performing arts, and science. For interdisciplinary planning, schedule meetings with your team early. You are encouraged to tap the talents and interests of your team members as well as of your unique school and community resources in developing other suitable activities for this unit.
Connect with the Home. Give special attention to the unit activities as a means of involving family and community members. Also, encourage your students to take selected Apply Your Knowledge questions and Mini Activities home for further exploration.
Teaching Timelines
You can use these timelines as a place to start in designing your own timelines, or you can use them as they are laid out. If you're planning your own timeline, consider the inclusion of the Embedded activities first. The "Embedded activities" are included in the student edition. The Enrichment activities, GroupWork activities, and Projects can then be included, depending on your time restrictions. The timelines are guides that can vary if some activities are done at home or in other classes in addition to science class.
Given your time constraints, it may not be possible to do all the activities shown on these timelines. If you need to remove activities, be careful not to remove any activities critical to the content of the unit. You may want to divide the activities among interdisciplinary members of your teaching team.
Page references in these charts refer to the student edition, except when Enrichments are suggested. The page references for Enrichments refer to this Teacher's Guide.

Safety for Teachers
- Always perform an experiment or demonstration on your own before allowing students to perform the activity. Look for possible hazards. Alert students to possible dangers. Safety instructions should be given each time an experiment is begun.
- Wear glasses and not contact lenses. Make sure you and your students wear safety goggles in the lab when performing any experiments.
- Do not tolerate horseplay or practical jokes of any kind.
- Do not allow students to perform any unauthorized experiments.
- Never use mouth suction in filling pipettes with chemical reagents.
- Never "force" glass tubing into rubber stoppers.
- Use equipment that is heat resistant.
- Set good safety examples when conducting demonstrations and experiments.
- Turn off all hot plates and open burners when they are not in use and when leaving the lab.
- When students are working with open flames, remind them to tie back long hair and to be aware of loose clothing in order to avoid contact with flames.
- Make sure you and your students know the location of and how to use fire extinguishers, eyewash fountains, safety showers, fire blankets, and first-aid kits.
- Students and student aides should be fully aware of potential hazards and know how to deal with accidents. Establish and educate students on first-aid procedures.
- Teach students the safety precautions regarding the use of electricity in everyday situations. Make sure students understand that the human body is a conductor of electricity. Never handle electrical equipment with wet hands or when standing in damp areas. Never overload electrical circuits. Use 3-prong service outlets.
- Make sure that electrical equipment is properly grounded. A ground-fault circuit breaker is desirable for all laboratory AC circuits. A master switch to cut off electricity to all stations is desirable for all laboratory AC circuits.
- Make sure you and your students are familiar with how to leave the lab safely in an emergency. Be sure you know a safe exit route in the event of a fire or an explosion.
For Student Safety
Safety in the Classroom
- Wear safety goggles in the lab when performing any experiments. Tie back long hair and tuck in loose clothing while performing experiments, especially when working near or with an open flame.
- Never eat or drink anything while working in the science classroom. Only lab manuals, notebooks, and writing instruments should be in the work area.
- Do not taste any chemicals for any reason, including identification.
- Carefully dispose of waste materials as instructed by your teacher. Wash your hands thoroughly.
- Do not use cracked, chipped, or deeply scratched glassware, and never handle broken glass with your bare hands.
- Lubricate glass tubing and thermometers with water or glycerin before inserting them into a rubber stopper. Do not apply force when inserting or removing a stopper from glassware while using a twisting motion.
- Allow hot glass to cool before touching it. Hot glass shows no visible signs of its temperature and can cause painful burns. Do not allow the open end of a heated test tube to be pointed toward another person.
- Do not use reflected sunlight for illuminating microscopes. Reflected sunlight can damage your eyes.
- Tell your teacher if you have any medical problems that may affect your safety in doing lab work. These problems may include allergies, asthma, sensitivity to certain chemicals, epilepsy, or any heart condition.
- Report all accidents and problems to your teacher immediately.
HANDLING DISSECTING INSTRUMENTS and PRESERVED SPECIMENS
- Preserved specimens showing signs of decay should not be used for lab observation or dissection. Alert your teacher to any problem with the specimen.
- Dissecting instruments, such as scissors and scalpels, are sharp. Use a cutting motion directed away from yourself and your lab partner.
- Be sure the specimen is pinned down firmly in a dissecting tray before starting a dissection.
- In most cases very little force is necessary for making incisions. Excess force can damage delicate, preserved tissues.
- Do not touch your eyes while handling preserved specimens. First wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap. Also wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap when you are finished with the dissection.

Just when you think this show has hit perfection, it gets better! I literally jumped out of my chair a few times at the sheer awesomeness of this episode. (And, yes, I know the difference between "literally" and "figuratively.") Everything is coming to a head finally, with the intrigue between Destro and Mindbender and Baroness and Cobra Commander.
This week's cameo/new character, who I expect is going to be a regular, was so freakin' sweet that I cannot put into words how awesome it was. I don't want to fully spoil it, but I actually thought it was a tad silly until another character said the name, and everything fell into place in an homage that worked on more than one level.
If you're not watching this, I have to weep at how there is a Renegades-shaped void in your life that you don't even realize needs to be filled.

Three-door superminis do not really sell in New Zealand. Even posh European ones. For that reason, they are few and far between.
There was the Audi A1, but as soon as a five-door Sportback version became available this year, Audi New Zealand stacked the remaining three-door models in a corner and never spoke of them again.
The ones that have gone the distance are the ones that aren't available in a conventional five-door format, like the Fiat 500 and Mini (a Countryman is hardly a Mini, so quiet down). And they obviously have other reasons for being the way they do, mostly regarding retro style.
So how do we explain this, the Peugeot 208 Allure three-door? Peugeot already has a perfectly good 208 Allure five-door, so this one might seem a little superfluous. Local importer Sime Darby has already given us the "it was available, we'll just see how it does" pitch.
But there's a bit more to it than that. The three-door might not sell in big numbers but it does glamourise the brand quite a bit. The five-door is already very fashion-forward, but the three-door is that much more stylish again - if you don't mind a bit of bling.
The other (related) thing about the Allure three-door is that it looks very similar to the forthcoming 208 GTi. In fact, the body shape has been designed with quite a few GTi-cues from the outset. Consider the sparkling chrome strip that bleeds off the C-pillar: it's intended to remind you of the days when the iconic 205 GTi had a fuel filler (and some badging) mounted up there.
For the above reasons, the Allure three-door has firm flagship status for now: at $29,990 it's $1000 more expensive than the five-door, despite offering less space and practicality. The GTi will be around $10k more expensive when it arrives next year, however.
The Allure's sportiness is all in the looks. The engine is good: a familiar 88kW/160Nm 1.6-litre also used by BMW-Mini. The gearbox is not: despite Mini being available with a six-speed automatic, the 208 reflects the French disdain for self-shifting transmissions by having a poorly calibrated four-speeder, which shudders during low-speed gear changes and yet goes into max-attack mode at the slightest hint of a brisk driving style.
The handling is impressive, though. The platform is a redevelopment of that from the old 207, but the 208 has decent steering and a chassis that flows over back roads in an elegant fashion. With a different gearbox it could potentially be quite entertaining.
The 208 certainly looks impressive inside and it has some interior idiosyncrasies that are quite endearing. The steering wheel is tiny and ovoid, set well below the main instrumentation so that you look over it to the dials, rather than through.
The seven-inch touch-screen uniting media and communications features is the big news in the 208 cabin.
The menus seem consciously fussy in appearance - as if it wants to look more high-tech than it is - but the system works really well once you learn your way around. It'll make much more sense with sat-nav, which is coming next year as a $995 option.
But be warned: it can't be retro-fitted to existing cars.
The 208 is also the first car I've ever road tested that doesn't have a CD player. Instead, you play music through your iPod, portable music player, Bluetooth streaming (perhaps a cellphone) or USB stick. I think it's too soon to abandon the compact disc, actually; but then I am rather old.
Old enough to remember what great GTi models Peugeot used to make. That's the three-door 208 I really want to drive.

Once again, we are confronted with the terror and horror of an attack on innocents.
My sympathies and prayers are with the victims and their families. Many of those injured in this attack face a very long, difficult and painful rehab.
Can we separate the perpetrator(s) of this evil deed from the weapons involved? Or will we be treated to another spectacle of lawmakers tripping over each other in their rush to ban something inanimate?
Will state Sen. John Morse, House Speaker Mark Ferrandino and Rep. Rhonda Fields again assume the Three Musketeers role and move for "sensible" control of improvised explosive devices?
Relentlessly cheered on by The Denver Post, can we expect to see a ban on the high-capacity (more than 1 quart) pressure cooker? Will there be background checks to buy the smaller ones?
Can we in Colorado show the rest of the U.S. how to accomplish "real solutions" that will make President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Mayor Michael Bloomberg proud?

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Bob Pauli
Enough suggestions?
Uncle Craig-
So far in this thread six lines have been suggested, all good ideas from knowledgeable people.
For recommendations from the unquestioned #1, Simon Gawesworth, go to Rio Products website http://rioproducts.com/pages/speyrecs.asp
It is my opinion that this is the first place for newer Spey casters to start.
Any of the interchangable sinktip lines should work -just get one that matches your rod.
As far as fishing for river salmon, I always use a single handed rod. Cohos especially like a stripped fly and such a retreive is much easier with a single handed rod. Any decent #8 rod will work fine for your trip to the Togiak. Save the spey rod to fish the swing for more noble fish
|Uncle Craig
Thanks again Moose and Juro. Very good information and once again the forum has helped me. Hope to share some Steelhead water with you guys some time.
Tight Lines
Airflo LDT
The Airflo lines have just the 1 loop that seems to be placed just prior to the start of the forward taper. They also have a 5 year no crack warranty, but I wonder if that warranty applies to thier "Welded Loops" as well. I've had mine about 5 months and haven't changed tips much or subjected it to any undue stress, yet the loop seems to be wearing and I feel that a break is inevitable, which would result in a catastrophic loss of tip. I hope I'm wrong, maybe there's some braided core in the loop or something, but it looks like there is some fraying of the material there (in the clear loop material itself). The line behaves very nicely and is slick, but I'm going to have to adress this loop issue with them. Again, I've heard that the regular Delta as opposed to the Long Delta is superior for heavy tips and big flies.
Hi Uncle Craig -
I like the Windcutter 9/10/11 on that rod for a very positive feeling cast even with the type 8 15ft tip on it. Just strip to the head, set up and feel for that "whump" as the strong tip comes over the top to punch the line out there.
I have recently obtained the SA Short head spey which I think will also make a great tip system for the rod. For XLT I prefer the 7/8 XLT on that rod, in fact I LOVE the 7/8 XLT on it.
The Airflos are great on it, already mentioned above.
So if you like a shorter tip system go with WC or Delta, for a longer (minimum strip) line I would go with the 7/8 XLT cut and looped for tips per the speypages discussion -or- use the 8/9 you already have but you might have to cut and loop again to take the sinktip.
|Uncle Craig
1409 Custom for Silvers
Thanks for the help Moose. I should have specified that I have the 1409 Custom. I was leaning towards the Airflo Long Delta.
Does it have just one loop to attatch the tip, or is it like the Rio lines which have several loops for attatching tip1, tip 2 etc?
I have a Rio WC 9/10/11 floater which the rod doesn't seem to like and a SA XLT 8/9 which the rod does like since I cut 14 feet from the tip to eliminate the wind deflection and poor turnover of the factory line. Perhaps the Long Delta will be a "happy medium".
The 1409 Expert
I have that rod and an Airflo Long Delta multi tip 9/10 and the system works well on this rod. I'm told that the regular Delta as opposed to the long Delta is better for throwing big flies.
|Uncle Craig
CND 1409 sink tips for Alaska Silvers
I am new to the discussion group but often surf the valuable information provided here. I am going to the Togiak River in Alaska the third week in August and need some information on sink tip lines for casting weighted and unweighted flies to Silver Salmon. I own a CND 1409 thanks to this discussion group and would like some suggestions on your favorite lines for this purpose.

48 Hours in Berlin
Monday, January 27, 2014
Last weekend a few of my friends and I went to Berlin for a quick little getaway. Our friends Natalie and Christian are doing an exchange there, so we wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to hang out with them there and use their insider knowledge of the city. Getting cheap red eye flights meant that we could dash down there for a bit and not even have to miss any school (I actually got to school early Monday morning, after heading there straight from the airport, ugh). This was my fourth time to Berlin, but every time I find it's almost like visiting a new city. There is so much to see that I always just barely scratch the surface. And coming from Copenhagen, it's a breath of fresh air (although freezing cold fresh air in January) to be in a place with such a different, more relaxed vibe. I thought I would round up some of the places we went, if you happen to be visiting and in need of a few recommendations. Natalie also just wrote a great post for S Magazine about architecture in Berlin that is definitely worth a read too.
1. Dada Falafel - This was one of the first things we did, and one on the top of my list. I was dying to have some halloumi, since I love it and it's hard to find in Copenhagen. There is no shortage of good falafel places in Berlin, but this was some of the best I've tried. Really fresh and full of herbs and spices. Plus, halloumi. Enough said. (image source)
2. Boros Collection - This is a private collection of contemporary art housed in a converted bunker. I think it's one of the many semi-secret things in Berlin - it's not clearly advertised and you have to make an appointment to see the collection at least 6 weeks or so in advance of your visit. That being said, it was one of the highlights of the weekend and one of the best collections I've seen in a while. The tour guide was also so great, and knew a lot of background stories about the artists and the works that really added to seeing them. Plus, the architectural history of the bunker was fascinating. Really recommended! (Image source and more photos of the collection)
3. Monsieur Vuong's - For dinner we went to Monsieur Vuong's, which is a great Vietnamese place. They are pretty busy but they are super fast so it doesn't take too long to get a table. They had a nicely small and simple menu and everything changes often so each time you go you can try something new. Berlin has such an amazing selection of international food, and it's so cheap (especially relatively to Copenhagen) to eat out there. I had the biggest bowl of vermicelli noodle salad and ate the entire thing. So good. (Image source)
4. Tier - It was a happy accident that we stumbled upon this cocktail bar on Saturday night looking for a place that had space for us all. It was the perfect mix of a casual atmosphere and really, really good drinks. Plus, they had an old black and white tv behind the bar playing a close up video of a Persian cat being pet for hours. I complemented the bartender on it and he said he played it because it relaxed him when things got busy. (Image source)
5. Flea markets - On Sunday we went for brunch and then went to a flea market, which is the perfect thing to do in Berlin. I can't remember which one we went to, but there are so many that you can pretty much just wander around until you find something you like. Here is a more detailed list. There are also a lot of really nice food markets that you can check out too. You really can't visit Berlin without going to some of the markets, even if it's really cold out and you decide to buy a salt crystal lamp that weighs a ton and that you have to drag around with you all day, which may have happened.
6. Datscha - This place was amazing! It's a modern Russian restaurant, and the interior is has a nice old house/cabin vibe without being kitsch. Plus, the menu is pretty much different kinds of pierogi (dumplings) which, being Canadian, are my favourite ever. I got the tasting plate pictured, which had potato dumplings and tons of different pickled vegetables and salads to go with them. Yum.

For President Obama a genuine economic recovery, it will help his historical legacy and put a few bucks in our collective pockets as well.
For Republican House Speaker John Boehner, a clue; because how do you pull out of the fiscal cliff talks with the president, bluster about passing your own "Plan B" nonsolution, and then not even have the votes in your own party to do it?
For Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, an actual budget to pass - you can only run the country for so long on continuing resolutions, though Sen. Reid has managed to do it for four years; naughty, naughty.
For Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, a year without natural disasters; in his first couple of years in office this governor has had to deal with Tropical Storm Irene, a freak October snowstorm, and Superstorm Sandy. It makes you wonder if at some point the governor tried to fool Santa's friend Mother Nature.
For New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio a budget for next fiscal year that provides for all important city services, adequately funds public education after years of flat funding, and does not hit taxpayers with another sizeable tax increase. (Hey, they call Christmas the season of miracles!)
For Norwich Mayor Peter Nystrom someone interested in taking advantage of the city's downtown development incentives; a more affordable proposal for building a new police station, and some activity at that $22 million regional transportation center, aka bus stop. (Yeah, we know it's a long list.)
And for Preston First Selectman Robert Congdon, a developer for the former Norwich Hospital property; of course Mr. Congdon asks for that every Christmas. He's still waiting.

It just strikes me that if h-bro cares at all about the older, "collector" market, why do they insist on giving us horrid, cheesy rubber guns and accessories? There is another thread (about what to do with amanaman's staff) which totally brought this, my main gripe, back in full colour.
Ever since IG88(the original one), I wished that droids were made of slightly sterner stuff.
Then the death star gunner, with that big rifle shaped glob of petroleum. Then the 9d9, with wet noodles to stand on.
THEN 300 boba fett, with the gun so deformed in the package that I can't even look at him for more than a few seconds.
I guess I'm trying to say- if they're looking to please the "collector" market as well, why not make figs with collector quality materials? I would walk through fire for a complete collection of replacement accessories for POTF2 and POTJ.
And to have droids(and one piece supporting characters) who's feet BOTH LAY FLAT ON THE GROUND would be like a dream come true- I can't help but imagine how cool a harder plastic, multi part, transforming mechanism(a bit much, but it could be done, and it would RULE) Destroyer droid would be?
C'mon, hasbro!!! It's SW, not the Gang who couldn't shoot/stand straight!! Woooooo!!!!!

Lovely start -well done you two.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Living The Cyclists Dream Down Under
Loading Map
It was not a textbook cycle touring start to the day. Sleeping in until 10am and then spending another two hours over breakfast and finally packing up the tent and gear on to the bikes, is not how bicycle tourists should behave. At midday we pedalled away from Christchurch, around the airport where we had touched down 2 days before and off across The Canterbury Plains. It was fresh but the sun was there, it was the perfect autumn day. The bikes which have been fully serviced lasted two miles. Poor Polly had been struggling to keep up, we found this was due to a jammed rear brake. The root of the problem annoyingly is something which the mechanic must have broken and then ignored
We followed a road out to McLeans Island (no idea why it is so called, answers on the blog comments section please) which passed through a beautiful pine forest. We then turned off towards West Melton and Aylesbury. We stopped for our first break and agreed that we will take less breaks than we did in Asia (largely due to 2 bottles of water and 2 packets of crisps setting us back �9). The countryside was just perfect. Open fields either side of us and mountains in the distance (we will be climbing The Southern Alps in a couple of days' time). As expected there were lots of sheep also.
As we rested for lunch it was impossible to ignore the absolute peace and quiet. We could not have found ourselves in a more contrasting situation to the 5 months of constant noise and chaos of Asia. There was nobody around. For most of the day we pretty much had the roads to ourselves. It was damn good to have cheese and Branston pickle sandwiches for lunch as well.
The afternoons scenery continued to charm us. Through the beautiful villages of Charing Cross and Horarata we passed. We stocked up for the night in the village stores (only the second shop we found all day) and asked for the nearest campsite. It took us slightly off our route but we were delighted when we found the camping ground. In the village of Glentunnel we pitched our tent as the sun went down. The autumn colours of the forest paired with the sound of a rushing river made for a pretty perfect camping spot. No rain, spectacular scenery, no traffic, cheese and pickle sandwiches, I want every day in New Zealand to be like this one.

ace to see your smiley little faces the other day even if polly was more interested in australian come dine with me.
i'm gonna be in miami for the first week of august, if the usa tour takes you near that way then come borrow my posh hotel room for a few days xx xx x
6.30pm here, so I suppose you're fast asleep! Ellie and I had a great catch up in Costa this morning and she gave good advice on my wedding gear for Saturday. Later in the day, she and Dave came round with some tomato plants for us and between us, Dads and I have managed to get them in grow bags - fed and watered and bursting to produce fruit, I hope! Dan, Betty and Geoff came round last night for barbecued roast lamb. Dan's very excited as he's bought a two man paramotor and is looking forward to taking us all into the skies (one at a time!!) Apparently, he's going to practise with sandbags first - wonder which of us is going to brave it first - help..... Hope today was as good as yesterday in the cycling department. Tons of love xxxxxxxxxxxx
New Zealand sounds great - it is the one far off place I would like to go to! I think you might begin to get a bit bored with cheese and pickle sandwiches - you sould try some NZ mutton - Tony says they never eat lamb - not enough flavour so they send it to the poms! Sun still blazing away here - I've got Olaf asleep upstairs and when he wakes I've got to take him to be weighed and measured 'cause his Mummy wants to know how much he's grown. Things might be hotting up on the Storton move - had one offer and someone came again to view again last night so fingers crossed for them.
Wonderful to speak to you both on T's birthday!!
All love Jojo and CJB
Gosh, what a shock to the system to be back at work!! Being kept busy learning what I am doing though which helps the time pass quickly :-)
Giles practised his speech last night for the first time and it sounded really good. Can't believe it is this weekend - has come round so quickly.
Passed the stuff on to your Mum via helpful Jane. Williams Road seemed to like their pressies too and some of them are even using them!
Hope you are used to being back onthe saddles by now and the kg you put on each isn;t hampering your efforts too much!!
Lots of love Cxxx
Was wonderful to see C & G again on Sunday. They would rather have been in Borneo than Bosham though. As C said, I returned your bag to Trig who was immediately worried about you being cold cyclists! NZ sounds great and is certainly on my must vivit list. Have just returned from seeing parents in Devon and am now getting into entertaining mode ready for this weekend. 16 for lunch in new kitchen on Sunday (inc C & G and Trig, sadly Alan working). Your blog is a real tonic. XXXXX
Just been reading the last few pages of your blog to Oliver and it's making us both feel like we want to go back! We spent just over 7 weeks in New Zealand and simply LOVED it. It seems you will enjoy it just as much as us. So good to read you guys and re-live the memories. Take care and enjoy! Caroline xxx
Well - it's the eve of the big day!! I am planning to get to the church at 2 o'clock to get a good view of them all arriving and hopefully get some good shots of lots of beautiful people. Apparently they had the rehearsal in church yesterday and I think everything went well - so fingers crossed for a lovely day!
I have got Monty Dog for a week as Mandy goes travelling around Turkey and I will be having Olaf for 4 days from Sunday so I've got my work cut out! I shall be in need of our little break in France. CJB and I have a lovely little cottage in the middle of nowhere for a week and Tricia and Betty will be joining us for one night.
Hope NZ is continuing to live up to all expectations - have you reached 'The Remarkables' yet?
All love Jojo & CJB

I have coded all the holidays on OPAL to improve SIP support and fix various problems. I have almost finished adding support for RFC3842 (Message Waiting Indication when you receive a Voicemail). I'm testing this with Asterisk, but unfortunately it is not always compliant. I have also added the ability to use several registrars at the same time. Those 2 new features do not exist yet in any SIP softphone under Linux.
I'll be speaking in Geilenkirchen at the Open Source Telephony Summit this week end. I hope the summit will be a good opportunity to progress on OPAL and on GnomeMeeting SIP. I also need to submit a GUADEC paper in time...FOSDEM
We have finally received the bios and pics for all speakers, we will start working on the definitive schedule soon. Don't forget that there is a GNOME developers' room with a specific schedule this year, so if you want to present a talk, it is not too late yetLife
Is there a life besides adding SIP support in GnomeMeeting?

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Bill Keough (Keough Hackle) also markets a cape similar to the Whiting American Hackle capes at about the same price, which he calls Saltwater/Bass Capes. They are not as easy to find as the Whitings capes though. Hugh Spencer (Spencer's Hackle) also sells capes and patches that would be suitable for tarpon flies. Pretty much any cape that will tie large salmon and steelhead flies will work. I would look for any of these three hackle growers capes for salmon/steelhead flies.
Avoid the Chinese hackle capes because the ones on the market are small these because of the bird flu causing so many of the birds to be killed that the ones left are small imature necks.
|The French guy
I am suggesting you buy the tarpon hackles from Hunters angling supply in New Boston. http://www.huntersangling.com
They have the perfect feather for tying tarpon flies.
They also sell the American rooster SW neck I use. The bronzed grade is generally enough for most of my fly tying.
|Capt. Mel Simpson
Tarpon hackles
I've been using Whiting, American Hackles for the last 4 years and find their grizzly capes (for splayed) and saddles to be of the very quality I need here for the big West Cost fish and flies, wide thick and webby with a strong consistant round stem.
Your comments about where the "Keys" style or Homer Rhode style tarpon flies came from is a real issue with me. Too often so called "Flyfishing Celebrities" grab fame for flies they virtually stole from someone else. And if you look at any publication today you'll see tyers doing the same thing.
And you know alot of very good tyers over the years have not published their flies just because they don't want to be have their name associated with that.
Welcome to the forum and thanks for the very informative post.
The website looks great! Lots of contibutions by our very own mayor of Chatham I see
Generally, stiff neck hackles are used for tarpon flies. This is especially true for the ones that have splayed tails.
There are some that use saddle hackles. One of the noted guides in the Keys uses saddles and makes the fly about 6 inches long and it is his go to fly when all else fails.
I use strung hackles, both neck and saddle except for grizzly. It is very difficult to find a good "Saltwater" grizzly neck anymore but there are some out there that will work.
At one time, Bucky Metz talked to several of us about trying to breed a saltwater bird but that fell through.
From what I have seen, most of the saltwater grizzly necks these days are a spin off of a dry fly neck. Just my opinion.
It is probably too costly to really breed a chicken for saltwater grizzly necks because it would have to be an older bird so theat you get long, wide, stiff and webby hackles.
If I am not mistaken, Stu Apte originally used saddle hackles as did Winston Moore. Both of these tyer's patterns are still very effective today.
The Sea Ducer was originally called "The Hackle Fly" and was used in the Ozarks circa late 1800's to very early 1900's as a bass fly in rivers. Homer Rhodes took that style of fly and came up with his Homer Rhodes Tarpon Streamer.
You can still see the influence of "The Hackle Fly" style of tying on tarpon flies today.
The "Keys Style" of tarpon fly uses the splayed tail and the collar can be just about any material. It seems that palmered hackle was initially used and then other materials followed. Bob Kay told me that he used marabou on some of his tarpon flies becaue it absorbed water faster and had more movement in the water.
The idea or dynamics behind using a splayed tail and full collar on these types of tarpon flies is that it pushes more water causing more of a disturbance that the tarpon key in on.
Just a note on the Stu Apte tarpon flies that use squirrel tail for the collar. When I talked to Stu about his flies, he told me that prior to tying on the collar he wraps a small ball of thread and ties the collar (squirrel tail) DIRECTLY in front of the ball of thread and DOES NOT wrap the thred over the ball. This causes the squirrel tail hairs to flare instead of laying along the hook shank.
|Yes ..Thanks... I put a Homer Rhodes fly in a series I did on the Classics... Good info on Fernandez.
|Capt. Mel Simpson
Cockroach Tarpon flies
There are 2 basic Cockroach patterns, the first was by John Emery, described by Lefty as a "Deceiver Style". The splayed grizzly feathers were attached about 1/2 way up the hook and then a collar of grey squirrel finished with a large black head ending at the ring eye.
The second was tied "Keys Style", by Chico Fernandez. He tied the feathers on just above the barb and had a black bear or brown bucktail collar with a black or brown head and left the hook shank bare.
The "Keys Style" is hard to define because Homer Rhode's flies of the 50's were called that but they looked like Seaducers and may or may not have been splayed?!?!
The Tarpon flies of today are a combination of the above plus different collar materials, eyes, flash, etc,.
Still, when you buy your feathers and start trying to get 3 or 4 long splayed feathers to lay flat against each other on the hook, then you will know why you bought the best you could find!
Books: Saltwater fly patterns- Lefty, Flies for Saltwater - Dick stewart, and Paul Schmookler's book Volume 2.
|Lefty's Cochroach is done with a grizzly hackle for the tail and squirel for the collar... do a search in the Striper fly archive where there are 30 classic flies... Use the search word "classic".. you will find the cochroach as well as Apte's tarpon fly
|Capt. Mel Simpson
I would look for a feather that is wide and long, round tipped, densely webbed, with a sturdy straight stem that is splayed. My preference is the Whiting American Rooster Cape for all my tarpon wings. I also use a soft wide saddle in front of the collar.
Because our tarpon are the giants, my flies are big, about 4" long.
If you're tying specific patterns, the recipe should describe the type of hackle used in the original. Otherwise I would say it depends on the pattern style and which part of the fly (collar, wing, tail etc.).
For the muddy estuaries of Costa Rica, patterns that push a lot of water and kick out a bunch of vibes would call for a good stiff cock neck whereas a clear water palmered worm pattern would have a lot more life tied with a softer hackle.
Saddlles are great for palmering on long shank hooks. I guess hen could have an application also.
Hackles for Tarpon flies
Looking for advice on what are the best hackles for tying tarpon flies like the cockroach. Neck? Saddle? Hen? Rooster? you tell me. If anyone knows any good brands please tell.

Steamboat Springs Steamboat Springs photographer Don Tudor, known mostly for his images of the outdoors, is closing the Sleeping Giant Gallery in the Alpen Glow building at 601 Lincoln Ave. after nine years in downtown Steamboat Springs.
Tudor said his goal is to spend less time in a gallery and much more time in the field with his camera and tripod.
"It's a bittersweet deal," Tudor said Tuesday. "I've really enjoyed all of the people I've met coming in through that door and the stories they've told me of their own wildlife encounters. But I really spend too much of my life in here."
Tudor said he is the last of the original business owners/tenants in Alpen Glow. He prints his own photographs up to 102 inches in length on a commercial-grade Epson inkjet printer and has a customer base of second-home owners, he said. They seek him out for his photographs of local landscapes, horse drives and wildlife. Ironically, he said, images of bison sell better than images captured locally of bull elk in the fall rut.
"I've sold a lot of photographs, but not consistently enough," Tudor said. "I do well in the winter and summer, but I have 12 months of overhead and six months of business. I used to do well with the locals in the spring and fall framing things for them. But the working people in the valley aren't spending money as much on things like framing."
Tudor said there is nothing he enjoys more than being in the field with his cameras at dawn before anyone else is around to watch the light change on the landscape.
When people praise his photographs, he tells them he's had some luck along the way.
The truth is, he has a strong eye for composition and remarkable persistence.
One of his iconic images of a field of golden mule's ears blossoms with Sleeping Giant in the background and the sky filled with mottled clouds glowing in the sunlight is a prime example.
"I needed a two-second exposure, and I had to go out there on a friend's property every morning for three weeks in June before I got a calm morning" with the right combination of early light and cloud, Tudor recalled.
Sleeping Giant Gallery closes at the end of November, but Tudor still will offer prints of his photographs through his website at www.dontudorphotography.com. In the future, when he isn't working on a commercial assignment, Tudor will be out in the mountain meadows to capture first light.

Thread: White Cloud Minnow not eating
If you are doing fish-in cycle, then you should be prepared to lose some fish. Thats just how it goes....I know from experience LOL!
For most schooling fish, especially tetras, 6 should be the bare minimum.
I am thinking that stress due to small school and to cycling is probably freaking him out a little.
Also I have notices with my small tetras that they get a lot of food by nibbling the particles of broken flakes by the other fish that drift past, but its more difficult to see him feeding. Glad you had some luck with your method in the previous post.
You could also try to encourage eating by changing the food some. once a week or so, for those kind of fish, the frozen blood worms are a very good treat. You dont want to feed them that all the time, they are too fatty, but for a starving fish, it may help boost some needed energy and appetite.55 Gallon Freshwater Tank (semi-planted) 48"x21"x13"
Video of 55GAL Tank - DEC 2012
When I get a group of fish and one does not appear as the others, I simply remove him so whatever is going on with him is not being passed fish to fish. Bacterial infections spread quickly and TB can be contacted if other fish eat off the body of a dead fish that had TB.
I simply will not take those chances for a $3 fish. It just ends up being too costly if, whatever the problem is, goes through-out the tank and hits all your stock. I would simply cull him.
