I see you are only a couple pds away from your original goal. Do you plan on setting a new goal and dropping additional weight? Do you weight train?

Why no weight training? That would definitely help keep it off and keep you motivated.
I guess I'll have to tell him> Diet is for weight loss, exercise is for fitness. I will concede that doing both is better for health.
quote:Not even remotely silly. 99% of people who need to lose weight burn out.
don't see how someone could argue that exercise doesn't help with weight loss. That's silly.

Cox Media Group (CMG) announces it has reached definitive agreements with Connoisseur Media and SummitMedia to sell radio stations in six markets as part of its broadcast portfolio realignment. The broadcast realignment, announced in July 2012, is part of CMG's strategy to focus on larger markets, cross-media collaboration, and heightened impact in fewer markets.
The company has signed an agreement to sell its Southern Connecticut radio stations (WPLR, WEZN, WFOX and contract rights for WYBC) to Westport, CT-based Connoisseur Media. CMG has also signed a separate agreement to sell its radio stations in five other markets to SummitMedia, including:
"These are all important brands powered by talented media professionals who tirelessly serve their audiences, advertisers and communities," said CMG President Doug Franklin. "We wish all of the employees well and know they will continue to work hard to produce quality entertainment, news and information for their customers and new owners."
The sales are expected to close during the second quarter following receipt of regulatory approvals.
Also, as part of its broadcast realignment, CMG recently added four new TV stations in Jacksonville, FL and Tulsa, OK to its broadcast group. The new stations are WAWS-TV (Fox) and WTEV-TV (CBS) in Jacksonville and KOKI-TV (Fox) and KMYT-TV (MyNetwork) in Tulsa.

Were starting talks with jordan today and leach later this week per barry jackson so if its not those two your prediction isnt looking good lol
I would be happy with either Jordan or Leach
This is gonna be the story of the year. What is going to happen is the news will release a statement that Aaron Hernandez, Loyd, and a few UF grads that work for Boston police have faked the entire story about the murder, just so AH could get away from the stinking pats. The reason Mike was wearing the hat the other day was because he knew what was going on the whole time.
Today we are going to sign, the now FA, Aaron Hernandez since the stupid pats cut him. During the night in question he was actually at a church bake sale making brownies. He just wanted to come down and play with Gilislee, Pouncey, and Stugis.
And if any of you find any of this hard to believe, I have a inside source. I hate to start the whole name dropping thingy, but it just so happens that I have a friend who gets her dog's hair cut at a certain place where a certain story breaker poster here at FH, whose name rhymes with "enCuro" also gets his dog's hair cut. Turns out certain dogs CAN talk, and these dogs got ta chatting and spilled the beans. So this is definitely legit.
I still think this video takes the youtube creepy throne:
It's the poetic lyrics that gets me
hooray...a lead fullback that will get little run...

mornin' TURKEYBUSTER
i picked up that little trick from SAM FADALA, in one of his books on MUZZLELOADING.
He claims that many ol' timers would put several layers of the hornet nest(the outside paper like shell of the nest) between the powder and the patched ball to prevent the powder nearest the patch from being rendered useless by the LUBE. Now in the event that the rifle is loaded for target this practice is not necessary , with exception to my rifle. i have a Lyman 50 cal. plains rifle that will consistently shoot smaller groups if i put some nest or a folded dry patch between powder and ball. i've experimented with .490 & .495 balls and the .495 is the size my bore prefers. my tests were also done with 2 different patches of .010 and .015 pillow tick.
I'm sure my rifle is capable of smaller groups when being fired by someone with a steady hand and YOUNGER EYES. for target I need a quality PEEP SIGHT and a bright sunny day with the sun behind me.but for hunting , with this rifle , i'll stay with the wider sights.
braggin' rights,,,, best shot to date ,,,,2005; 80 yards; aimed for the heart and hit it; 2 yr old buck.
thanks for askin' m. hay

At Year Two, TheSkimm Hits 500,000 Subscribers
As morning television news shows struggle to build loyal audiences of women who once started their days with Katie Couric, Jane Pauley and Erma Bombeck, two young former NBC News producers have quietly built a following for their morning news service, theSkimm.
TheSkimm is a daily email newsletter that is transmitted to subscribers weekday mornings at about 6 a.m. Eastern Time. It delivers the news of the day along with a short explanation of the context and import in a just-us-girls voice that manages neither to patronize news junkies nor alienate infrequent readers.
Earlier this week, for example, it presented this under its Quote of the Day rubric: "'I think it's my job to work with every president –if she is, regrettably, if she obtains the presidency' — Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) yesterday, on Hillz possibly becoming Madam President. Glad we're not jumping to conclusions."
TheSkimm was founded nearly two years ago by Danielle Weisberg, now 27, and Carly Zakin, 28. When it hits its two-year anniversary later this month, it will have more than 500,000 subscribers and a daily open rate of more than 45%, the founders say. The average media and publishing email campaign has an open rate of 23%, according to MailChimp, an email newsletter service. Women comprise 70% of theSkimm readership, most of which falls into the 'Millenial" demographic of people 18 to 33 years old. "We are reaching our readers in the way they want to be reached and they are making us a part of their daily routine," says Weisberg.
Weisberg and Zakin say the business strategy right now is to bring in and retain as many subscribers as possible, while focusing on keeping a robust open rate. But they have begun to dabble in revenue-generating partnerships. For instance, to help highlight the All-Star game to casual fans, the National Basketball Association entered into a financial arrangement with theSkimm which resulted in NBA players "guest-Skimming" to promote both the All-Star game in February and the NBA Finals in June. To help introduce the salient details of Game 1 of the finals, Brooklyn Nets player Paul Pierce wrote, in part:
An all-out, no holds barred, showcase of some of the best basketball you will ever see. These two teams have played 82 regular season games and three rounds of playoff games for the chance to win the NBA Championship.
Miami's famous trio (LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade) promised 7+ rings when they joined the team in 2010. That's a lot to live up to. The core of the Spurs has been around for a long time and they'd like one more title for good measure.
Melissa Rosenthal Brenner, the NBA's senior vice president for digital media, says the league would like to work more with theSkimm. "We're always looking at how we can attract new fans," she says, "so when you look at a product that targets professional women, this was a no-brainer for us."
Neither Brenner nor theSkimm founders would share details of how much the NBA paid for the placement. Weisberg and Zakin say they would only work with partners on content when the promotion connects to the news of the day.
Earlier this year, Homebrew, a venture-capital firm, led a $1.3 million round of financing to help Weisberg and Zakin hire a small staff and move the news operation from their apartment living room to a Manhattan office. Homebrew General Partner Satya Patel says he invested in the company and joined its board because theSkimm is doing something few deep-pocketed media companies are: Its engaging people who haven't necessarily been otherwise engaged in current events. "They have made news approachable in ways traditional news organizations still haven't," he says.

Massimo mentioned how people got the jump on them with Leonardo. I think they are going to get the Due released and update their hardware information at nearly the same time so that no one makes clones before the original is on the market.
Look, we need to accept that whatever they DO spend their time doing..Listening to the average Arduino user or reading "Their" forum isn't it.
they now have a full-time community guy, he introduced himself on the developer's mailing list a few months ago and we've not heard from him since.
This post on Hack a Day has some more info about the Due:http://hackaday.com/2012/10/03/finally-an-arm-powered-arduino/

The Florida Bar
So long as no client's confidences are violated, a law firm may ethically represent a client referred to it by another law firm which had been forced to disassociate itself from two clients because of a conflict of interest. Any referral fee paid to the referring attorney must be based solely upon the work done before the conflict developed.
February 12, 1973
February 12, 1973
Vice Chairman Daniels stated the opinion of the committee:
The driver and passenger in a car were injured in an intersection accident. A partner in Law Firm A executed a contingent fee contract with the passenger. Less than a month later another partner in Firm A executed a contingent fee contract with the driver, being unaware that the firm already represented the passenger. A few weeks later, Firm A realized that it had been retained by both parties and that the passenger might have a claim against the driver. Firm A then wrote the driver saying it could not represent him and claiming no fee for prior services. The driver then obtained new counsel.
Firm A then referred the passenger's case to Firm B. The passenger's file contained no confidential information which Firm A had obtained from the driver and no such information was conveyed by Firm A to Firm B. Firm B inquires as to the propriety of its continuing to represent the passenger and whether it may pay a customary one-third referral fee to Firm A.
Since no client's confidences have been violated by either firm and Firm B has never represented conflicting interests, Firm B may properly continue to represent the passenger. However, it would be unprofessional to pay Firm A a "customary one-third referral fee." Fee division among lawyers must be based solely upon a sharing of work and responsibility. Firm A cannot participate in the handling of the passenger's case and the only compensation it could in any circumstances receive would be for the reasonable value of the services rendered the passenger before it was retained by the driver.

I can sympathize with the sentiment, but you have to ask yourself why the industry is in decay. Part of the reason D&D and other tabletops have declined in popularity is because other things have come along -- back in the day, if you wanted to play a fantasy-based role-playing game with deep plots, tabletops were your only real option. Today, MMOs like WoW provide those same themes, role-play, similar social interaction, and the accessibility of playing whenever you choose without having to herd 4+ friends together at the same place and time. Modern interactive games also provide more immediate gratification. As a video gamer who recently gave D&D a good shot, one of the things that struck me was the glacial pace with which the game moves -- with 5 other players, a single turn takes an hour, 50 minutes of which I'm essentially idle and disengaged. In an MMO or any other game I'm always actively doing something. All of this is to say nothing of all the other competing styles and genres of games available today, and other kinds of entertainment that have never been more accessible and immediately available.
I think the more classic experience does still appeal to some people -- the industry may be a smaller part of the overall entertainment pie today, but I'd hazard a guess that its probably as large or larger than its ever been in total numbers today. Large publishers, indeed large companies of any kind, tend to ignore the small slivers, which makes them a sort of "cottage industry" as far as the wider gaming industry is concerned, even though the sliver may be entirely viable in its own right.
What I'm getting at is that you may very well be onto something, but its naive to think that everything is horseshit just because its mainstream -- horseshit doesn't sell like mainstream products do, they may not appeal to you, you may be desperate for something different, but that's clearly not what the mainstream audience wants. Is that lamentable? Probably, on some level. Anyhow, if the impetus behind your business plan is that the mainstream is crap, and there's a conspiracy (or unwillingness) by the mainstream publishers to keep table-top-style games from returning to the mainstream, I think you'll be disappointed with that thesis.
Personally, though I don't much like tabletop games, I think there's actually a market to be had in creating an online platform for these kinds of games -- that is, one which allows people across large distances to play together without being too difficult to use and to author content and rulesets for. That's of course different than what you seem to describe.
But regarding whether you need AAA graphics, real-time 3D, or other chrome, I say no. What you need is art that looks professional for what it is, and which has style. People know production value when they see it, regardless of what form it takes. Its that property of the visuals (and audio) that says to people "this game is worth my time" -- shoddy production values say "not even the author thinks this game is worth his time". Plenty of successful games have "simple" graphics, be they in 2D or 3D, and nearly all of those have obviously high production value. Ultimately it comes down to time and resources, and simpler graphics with higher production value are more appealing than complex graphics with low production value.

- Description
Miraflores is a district of the Lima Province in Peru. Known for its shopping areas, gardens, flower-filled parks and beaches, it is one of the upscale districts that make up the city of Lima.
The Costa Verde ("green coast") area has several beaches, which draw surfers and beachgoers alike in summertime. However, these rocky beaches are not as popular with bathers as the large, sandy beaches in the districts south of Lima, such as Santa María del Mar, Punta Hermosa and Punta Negra. Larcomar Shopping Center is located in this area.

(Austin, TX)Senator Rodney Ellis (D-Houston) today released the following statement regarding the SB 5, omnibus legislation dramatically reducing reproductive freedom in Texas.
"I am voting against suspending any rule to bring up for debate SB 5, because I oppose this unprecedented, unreasonable and unconscionable attack on women's health. Once it is eligible for debate, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with any and every one opposed to this draconian legislation.
"There are 254 counties in Texas; under SB 5, women would have access to these critical services in exactly four of them. The clear goal of this legislation is to eradicate Texas women's ability to receive health care services they are constitutionally protected to receive. Opponents of reproductive freedom want to make it virtually impossible for Texas women to seek safe, legal health care without facing the political consequences of trying to ban all abortions. It is a cynical, destructive but, sadly, effective strategy.
"Rather than taking up issues that hard-working Texans want us to address, we are instead continuing the war on women by decreasing Texas women's access to health care. Senate Bill 5 would enact some of the most restrictive limitations on reproductive freedom in the nation. They bring Big Government into what should be a very personal and private matter between a woman, her doctor and her faith, all under the Orwellian talking point of 'protecting women's health.'
"Texas women deserve better.
"As the father of three daughters, these are not the types of private, personal decisions I want the Legislature making for them. All of these bills are masked in the cover of making women safer and healthier, when in reality these are political issues that seek to take away a woman's choice. They restrict the practice of medicine and weaken standards of care and patient safety, which will have devastating consequences when a woman is experiencing medical complications.
"During the debate in the Senate, members in favor of this legislation spoke eloquently about caring for the unborn, noting that these measures will increase the quality and standard of care. They, somewhat incredulously, argued that this anti-choice legislation has nothing to do with restricting a Texas woman's right to control her own body. But let's suspend disbelief for a moment and give proponents of further erosion of reproductive rights the benefit of the doubt and say they truly are concerned about women's health. If that is sincerely the case, then the answer is shockingly simple: expand access to health insurance under Obamacare.
"Yet they refused to accept an amendment that I offered which would truly improve the quality of life and health of Texas women and families.
"This amendment would have made these anti-choice bills effective only if Texas expands Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. With approximately one in four Texans lacking insurance and about 16 percent of Texas children uninsured, this amendment could have provided health insurance to approximately 1.5 million additional Texans, including resources to improve access to quality care for women, infants and children.
"Lack of adequate health insurance coverage makes it hard for Texas families to get the health care they need, and if and when they do it leaves them with large medical bills. In fact, study after study has shown that one of the best ways to protect and improve the health of women and babies – born and unborn — is by expanding access to quality health insurance. Having health insurance contributes to healthier mothers, healthier children, and significantly reduces infant mortality. In fact, women who lack insurance are more likely to have inadequate care, receive a significantly lower standard of care and are more likely to postpone or skip entirely needed care because they lack the money to pay for it. This has a serious impact on all Texans, especially our children.
"According to the 2012 Texas KIDS COUNT report, almost 40 percent of Texas mothers received little or no prenatal care and one in seven babies were born premature. It also noted that only 58 percent of kids without insurance are considered healthy, while 90 percent of insured kids are healthy. Patients with health insurance are more likely to visit a doctor regularly and obtain routine exams that lead to early detection and treatment.
"Too many hard-working Texans fall into the current gap where they make too much money to qualify for the current Medicaid system but too little to be able to purchase insurance in the private market. For these individuals eligible for the expansion, Medicaid will mean the opportunity to have a primary doctor and continuity in care thereby reducing their reliance on the expensive care currently provided in emergency rooms.
"This expansion will also give previously uninsured women access to the tools necessary to make them healthier, including family planning services and contraception, which will reduce unintended pregnancies, improve birth outcomes, and reduce infant mortality.
"If proponents of draconian anti-choice laws are serious about helping Texas women, they should be fighting equally hard to expand access to health insurance, not trying to pass bills that will decrease access, increase complications and harm women. They should fight for measures that will truly protect our most vulnerable and increase access to quality care for women and families, not do all they can to obstruct those efforts.
"The sad truth is that Texas is failing our mothers, failing our children and failing to focus on solutions that help all Texans, rather than narrow partisan interests. Texas women and families deserve better."

It's Showtime Japan, Shootboxing, Krush Announce August Matchups
- Written by Dave Walsh
With July coming to a close, three of the bigger kickboxing promotions in Japan have announced significant fights for August.
After announcing a Girls S-Cup preliminary event for August 19th, the first bout has been announced for the event, a super fight between recently crowned Shootboxing Women's Flyweight Champion Ai Takahashi and teenage sensation, as well as WPMF and WMC World Women's Mini Flyweight Champion Erika Kamimura. Takahashi took place in both Girls S-Cup events, losing in the quarterfinals to MMA fighter Saori Ishioka in 2009 and losing in the extension round of the finals to Shootboxing superstar Rena. In a rematch of the finals back in June for the Shootboxing Women's Flyweight Title, Takahashi pushed Rena for five rounds, eventually exhausting her opponent and claiming her revenge, along with the title. Erika Kamimura has made her name as an 18 year old sensation, taking wins over RISE champion Chiharu and Silvia La Notte and dominating Rena in an exhibition bout all in the past 7 months. Kamimura has an upcoming bout at RISE.80 on the 23rd against Team Souwer's Tiana van Lana, so hopefully Kamimura does not suffer an injury in that bout. Much like the title fight between Takahashi and Rena, this fight is scheduled for 5 three minute rounds.
After what seems to be a successful and entertaining initial event, It's Showtime Japan returns on August 21st in conjunction with the Fujiwara Festival and is headlined by a 61kg #1 contender's bout between former AJKF Featherweight Champion, Krush 2009 Lightweight GP Champion and #3 WPMF Japan ranked Lightweight Masahiro Yamamoto and #2 ranked Arito Tsukahara. Yamamoto challenged for the IS 61kg Championship last December, losing by a 3rd round doctor stoppage to former champion Sergio Wielzen. Wielzen lost a decision to Karim Bennoui in March who was subsequently defeated by current champion Javier Hernandez in a fight of the year contender in June. The winner of this bout will face the winner between Javier Hernandez and Kan Itabashi, who defeated Genki Yamamoto at the first It's Showtime Japan card on the 18th for the right to challenge for the title.
Also announced for the card were two 54.5 kg matches, the first between WPMF Japan Bantamweight Champion and J-NETWORK #1 ranked Super Bantamweight Ichinohe Sota and MA Kick Bantamweight Champion Takuma Ito. The other bout is a matchup between WPMF Japan #1 ranked bantamweight Noro Yuki and #3 ranked NJKF bantamweight Jun Miyoshi.
It's Showtime also announced a women's matchup between NJKF Atom(46.26kg) Champion Chiharu and WPMF Japan Atom Champion Little Tiger. As previously mentioned, Chiharu lost to Erika Kamimura at Sengoku: Soul of Fight.
Krush seems to have brokered some sort of exchange program with ISKA, as the two biggest announcements for their August 14th card pit Krush fighters against ISKA fighters. Krush 55kg participant and RISE Bantamweight Champion Nobuchika Terado will face off against Scotland's Kieran McAskill while the flashy and entertaining Keiji Ozaki will take on France's Thomas Adamandopoulos. Terado lost his quarterfinal bout in the Krush Bantamweight tournament in an extremely exciting affair with future star Ryuya Kusakabe, while Ozaki picked up a win over Toshiki Taniyama on the same card.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves has gotten off easy thus far during the current Medicaid controversy.
Over in the House, Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, used extraordinary parliamentary maneuvers to ensure that the lower chamber did not have an opportunity to vote on expanding Medicaid to cover those earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level as is allowed under the federal Affordable Care Act.
In the Senate, there was no effort made on the floor by the membership to force a vote on expansion so Reeves never had to face the issues that confronted Gunn.
If and when Gov. Phil Bryant calls a special session to reauthorize and fund the massive federal-state health care program, Reeves could find himself in the hot seat.
During the regular session, Democrats in the House blocked passage of funding and reauthorizing of the existing program as a method of trying to force Gunn to allow the full House to vote on a proposal to expand Medicaid.
In the Senate, meanwhile, members funded and reauthorized the existing program with barely a mention of Medicaid expansion.
"The Senate in a bipartisan vote already agreed to re-authorize and fund Medicaid without expanding the agency," Reeves said. "I stand ready to work to pass similar legislation if Governor Bryant calls a special session."
But it is of note that when House Democrats held a news conference last week and released their plan to use the federal funds to allow people to garner private insurance instead of expanding Medicaid, they were joined by several Senate Democrats.
Both Reeves and Bryant belittled the Democrats' plan, saying it was an effort to expand Obamacare, which they oppose.
Sen. Hob Bryan, D-Amory, one of the minority party's leaders in the Senate, spoke in favor of the House Democrats' plan at the news conference.
"If we could vote by secret ballot … something akin to what the Democrats have proposed would pass," Bryan said. "About half of the Republicans would like to figure out a way to accept the hundreds of millions of dollars of federal money."
Thus far Sen. Billy Hudson of Hattiesburg has been the only Republican legislator to publicly say he would vote to expand Medicaid if given the chance.
The question is will anyone have the chance to vote on expansion during the special session. The governor has the authority to call a special session and to establish the subjects that will be considered.
But there could be debate about whether members could be prevented from offering an expansion amendment during a special session called by the governor to fund and reauthorize the existing program.
Essentially, it will be up to the presiding officer of each chamber to decide. Both Reeves and Gunn have gone on record against the expansion, agreeing with the governor that the state cannot afford it, though the federal government is slated to pay the bulk of the costs.
"There is no question that if you call a special session on these issues (reauthorizing and funding Medicaid) that the issue of expansion can be before us," said Bryan.
Rep. Robert Johnson, D-Natchez, agreed, saying, "He can't tell us how to address Medicaid … We are elected. We are not doing our job if we don't have a full and open debate on Medicaid. I know the speaker well enough to know that he would not prevent that from occurring."
But members acknowledge that if the presiding officer ruled that a subject went beyond the call of the special session, there would be little recourse for the members to take.
Reeves refused to say whether he would allow the issue of Medicaid expansion to be debated during a special session called to reauthorize and fund the agency.
He said it would depend on the wording of the governor's proclamation calling the special session. He said he would seek advice from Senate attorneys before ruling on such an issue.
"It is way too premature to talk about that at this point," Reeves said, though most believe a special session will be called before the month's end where the first-term Republican lieutenant governor could face that issue.

Denis first studied art at the Lycée Condorcet, along with Vuillard and Roussel. Then, in 1888 he attended the Académie Julian, along with Bonnard and Vuillard. That year he was also accepted at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.
The tutor at the Julian was Sérusier, and he told his students of the exciting artistic developments being made by Gauguin and his circle at Pont-Aven. Instead of attempting to paint what they saw, they practised an art of the 'inner eye'.1 Denis was later to recall this new style which so astonished the young artists: 'Instead of being windows onto the natural world, like the pictures of the Impressionists, these were large, strongly coloured decorative expanses with harsh contour lines …'2
In 1890 these young radicals formed a group calling themselves the Nabis. The term was proposed partially tongue-in-cheek by Sérusier, derived from the Hebrew word nabi meaning 'prophet', and coined by Sérusier's friend, the poet and student of Hebrew, Auguste Cazalis. Initially, it was a term they adopted to amuse themselves as much as anything else. Each member then acquired their own epithet, to highlight their particular interest or personality. Bonnard was dubbed 'the very Japanese Nabi'. The deeply religious Denis—inspired by the art of Puvis, and before him the Italian artists of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, especially Fra Angelico and Sandro Botticelli—came to be known as the 'Nabi of the beautiful icons'.
The present work is an extraordinary landscape far removed from the tenets of Impressionism. Denis' 'inner eye' sees a landscape that is a dream world, with elegant outlines of beech trees silhouetted against (contre jour) nebulous clouds floating in a blue sky. Gauguin had advised the young artists to pick the most beautiful colours, rather than the colours they might actually see in the external world. Here Denis has chosen the greenest greens and the bluest blues. A group of robed women glides silently through the forest; one has been called by an angel. Through his abstracted, decorative form and ambiguous narrative, Denis has created a landscape of great mystery.
This painting has also been known as The beech trees in Kerduel. In 1893 Denis married his great love, Marthe, and they spent their honeymoon in Perros Guirec in Brittany. Close by, the Forest of Kerduel was a location noted for its medieval history and stories of King Arthur. Denis had a strong affinity for Brittany, its landscape and sea, claiming: 'I should be a Breton, too. I'm just a Granvillois: still, it's on the same bay as Saint-Michel and Saint-Malo.'3 This canvas, therefore, is a celebration of marriage and of a location Denis felt he strongly belonged to. It remained in his possession all his life.

Fibrinogen is a protein produced by the liver. This protein helps stop bleeding by helping blood clots to form. A blood test can be done to tell how much fibrinogen you have in the blood.
Serum fibrinogen; Plasma fibrinogen; Factor I; Hypofibrinogenemia test
A sample of blood will be taken from your vein.
There are no special steps you need to prepare for this test.
You might feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted to draw blood. You may feel throbbing afterward.
Your doctor may order this test if you have problems with blood clotting such as excessive bleeding.
The normal range is 200 - 400 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Abnormal results may be due to:
The test may also be performed for placenta abruption.
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size so it may be harder to get a blood sample from one person than another.
Other risks slight risks from having blood drawn may include:
Note: This test is most often performed on people who have bleeding disorders. The risk of excessive bleeding is slightly greater in such people than for those who do not have bleeding problems.

One can get OK LED company's replacement, LED lighting etc. from the website, http://www.ledhbl.com/ which has been launched for the sake of selling LED lighting for residential and commercial purposes. This website also sells LED high bay for those who want to buy it.
LED High Bay has become a really popular and a really important LED product in the market. There are a lot of 400W and 250W high pressure sodium, traditional metal halide and mercury vapour lamps that are to be replaced and these can be replaced with the help of LED. The LED High Bay is not really that predominantly available. One cannot just walk into a hardware store and purchase these bulbs, so one would have to rely on local distributers for this. One could also go for importers, but that would certainly be really expensive.
The website, http://www.ledhbl.com , provides LED high bay lights at prices that are a little cheaper than the importers or even the local distributors . As long as one knows what bulbs to buy to replace specific bulbs, they will certainly be safe. The 100W LED bulb is meant to replace the traditional 250W one. The 150W high bay bulb could replace the 4000W traditional one, easily. By shifting to LED, one is not just staying with the times, one would also be saving a lot of electricity.
The company offers a 5 year warranty on the bulbs being purchased. For the smaller orders, the company provides a 10 day lead and it is 20 days for orders that are big in size and would take some time to bring to fruition. It would really help for one to just rely on the company to get their bulbs for this is quite a cheap company and a cheaper source than most importers for sure. Since the bulbs would be delivered, one need not worry about transportation of large number of bulbs as well.
If one has any queries about the bulbs ledhbl or the shipping, one could contact the website. The following information about the contacts could certainly ok led lighting come in handy in that situation.

I just released Camaelon, a theme engine for GNUstep applications ... and a week ago I had also released the 0.3 version of HelpViewer (an help viewer for GNUstep). Finally ! :-)
You can download Camaelon here : http://www.roard.com/camaelon/
And HelpViewer here : http://www.roard.com/helpviewer/
I also started a small webpage to keep track of articles and tutorials about GNUstep : http://www.roard.com/docs/
... and so I put online the article I co-wrote with Fabien Vallon about GNUstep, previously published in Linux Magazine France :-) (available here : http://www.roard.com/docs/lmf1.article/) Following GNUstep's articles for LMF will be put on-line too.

Generally hard to work on much for the past few weeks. I am buying a house, and if that's not bad enough the particular house we are trying to buy is in bankruptcy. I've never dealt with so much paper work in my life!!! argh! Anyway, this has really taken its toll on my hacking time.
I've been trying to get the stubs in place for QtK so I can get SybSQL to compile. It's pretty slow going though.
On other fronts, Comdex was pretty cool. It really struck me when I walked in and saw Linux everywhere. No blank stares with I asked for linux support from SAN vendors and such (looking at SANs for my day job). Any lingering doubt in my mind about Linux being mainstream have been dispelled.
Veritas had the coolest hand outs, all their people were dressed in doctors scrubs (something to do with data recovery I guess :-) Anyway, they had prescription bottles filled with jelly beans.
Redhat and VA were noticably absent. Corel had a big booth, and if I didn't know better I'd have sworn they were demo'ing Windows software! Not sure how good a thing that is.
I had a theory about the correlation of a company's financial situation and how scantily dressed their sales women were. Pick systems has apparently seen better days.

Apple (AAPL) is up 1.8% in morning trading today, adding to its gains last week, its best week since October 2011, when founder Steve Jobs passed away.
However, other smartphone makers BlackBerry (BBRY), Nokia (NOK) and Microsoft (MSFT) were all down at recent check. Among other news today, Raymond James analysts Tavis McCourt and Daniel Toomey have a note out this morning examining smartphone trends around the world, with a geographic focus.
McCourt and Toomey write that while they see the global handset market as mature, they are nonetheless raising their smartphone year-over-year growth estimate to 43%, up from a previous estimate of 36%. More than half of all handsets sold across the world are now smartphones, a first in history, and smartphone volumes are logging 47% year-over-year growth.
Much of this growth is in China, where "the transition from feature phones to smartphones in China due to extremely aggressive pricing has occurred more precipitously than we imagined." However, while this massive growth is a boon for 2013, this may mean some slackening come next year, they warn:
Smartphone growth in emerging markets was up 64% y/y, substantially higher than the overall global y/y growth rate of 47%. Smartphone market growth in China remained strong, up 101% y/y after growing 110% in 1Q13. Interestingly, 72% of handset sales in China were smartphones in 2Q, levels that North America just breached two quarters ago and Western Europe breached last quarter. China is pulling forward massive smartphone demand into 2013, and based on penetration rates, we can probably expect smartphone growth to slow to 10-20% in China in 2014 (but with higher ASPs as China transitions to LTE), as it will be approaching penetration rates seen in the U.S./Western Europe today. Expect India and Latin America to drive smartphone growth post-2013.
As for Apple, they see the Asia-Pacific Region and Western Europe as continued soft spots, as these are the only parts of the world where growth in the company's smartphones aren't in the double digits. "We expect the refresh of the low end of the iPhone portfolio (iPhone 5C) will be crucially important at reinvigorating growth in these regions. Samsung Electronics (005930KS), by comparison, which competes across a range of price points, saw its volumes increase 57% y/y, though down from 59% in the prior quarter and 168% in the year-ago period."
McCourt and Toomey are also skeptical of BlackBerry's new offerings, and the battle for third place between Nokia and Microsoft's Windows phone:
With rollout of the Z10, Q10, and midlevel priced Q5, BlackBerry left it all on the table in 2Q13, and quantifiable success remains limited. Volumes were down 23% y/y globally and down 24% y/y in emerging markets. The company announced, just a few days ago, it is pursuing all strategic options, including a sale of the company, and these share trends support the time is now for looking at all the options, as BB10 was perhaps the last bullet in the chamber.
As the dominant supplier of Windows Phone handsets to the marketplace, Nokia is the major beneficiary of the exciting 2Q13 development that Windows Phone has finally surpassed BlackBerry to take over the third place share in the global operating system war. Windows Phone share increased to 3.3%, up from 2.9% q/q, while BlackBerry declined to 2.7% in 2Q13 from 3.0% in the prior quarter. Meanwhile, Nokia's smartphone volumes were down 40% y/y to 7 million (does not include Asha) vs. 11.7 million in 2Q12. Overall handset volumes were down 27% for Nokia, and outside a decent sequential growth trend for Lumia sales in the middle east/Africa, there remains little evidence of meaningful momentum as of yet in Nokia's handset turnaround strategy.

Thread: 75 stocking..
Hybrid View
75 stocking..
so dont shoot me if i am way off.. also ideals are excepted
also this is pre-planning, they are not in tank yet.. also tanks if heavy planted and wooded
1x Angel fish
1x reedfish(rope) gotta have this, love them
2x Dwaf Gouramis( 1x if both doesnt work out
1x brustlenose albino pleco
5x corries, not sure what kind yet
I want some type of tetra that is a great schooler, so like 8x of it
maybe a small shoal of topwater fish, danio???
maybe a peacock eel, i dont mind striving to make sure my bottem babies get fed.
already have 2 faithful snails pushing the grind back and forth across the tank .. again help! hate! anything is all good
running as of right now, a EMP 400 and a AC 110( in previous threads i said 70 but i forgot that was on old tank)
also for bday thinking of asking for a fluval fx5 and dropping the emp
That isn't a bad start to be honest.
Better than some posts I've seen throwing in 90 fish into a 60gallon
But if you are set on the reedfish/ropefish. then I wouldn't suggest the cory's.
to my knowledge they are a predatory eel and I feel they would find a nice little curious cory cat's as a tasty snack-but I could be wrong on this.
Also, I would get a bit more mature pleco pleco to avoid the aforementioned issue as well.
The gourami's will be interesting. you'd have to have a good amount of decor for them keep to themselves. with my experience on the DG's..I'd only do one. the fella I had sure was a bully.
if you are wanting 2x schooling fish and the tank your size, you can do 10-15 each pending on which tetra you get.
My recommendation for that is go to your local lfs and see what they have in stock, write down what you like and come back here to see the compatibility with what else you are set on.
also-the schooling fish you desire, need to be in at least 10 to be comfortable in the tank...once they relax and have good water parameters, they don't school. schooling is a defensive behavior when they feel threatened. just dont want you to set expectations that all 10 tetra's will stay in a group swimming around together in the tank.
Just my opinion but there are a few tetras that will stay in a tight school even when they are not threatened. One is the Bloodfin which is one of the hardiest tetras you can purchuse, they can take harder water and lower temps better than most of thier cousins. The other is a more sensative but an awesome schooler, the Rummy Nose Tetra. If you like a bigger fish the Buenas Aires tetra is great schooler but may nip your Angel and DG fins.
Whatever Tetras you get always buy a big school as you have read. At least a DZ. to start.
Hope this helps.
Just so you know the rope fish are actually sweethearts. They aren't technically an eel at all. They do eat meat, especially shrimp or worms, so they will eat anything small enough to swallow, and they don't have the greatest eyesight so they can't tell if something is food or not until it's already in their mouths. But IME they don't actively hunt swimming fish unless the fish are TINY. They are prob more prone to swim away from most fish in fear. Also they are a very social species. If you get just 1 expect to never ever see it. They will just hide in their caves and starve. We have 4 of them and it took that many to get them to actually swim around. If you do go for it tho they are the nicest little things. You can hand feed them and they will come up and wrap around your fingers and nuzzle your palm with their nose. The first one we got was the last one at the LFS and they thought they sold him cuz he was living in a filter for two months or so. When they found him they called us and we came and picked him up. Bear in mind we don't have ours with anything small tho. They are in with a Senegal bichir and an ice blue monster of an Mbuna. Just what I think from seeing how ours act.

Prove that size doesn't matter www.bigfishcampaign.org
Painted fish belong on canvas, not in aquaria www.deathbydyeing.org
I don't know a lot about Reedfish but they look cool and I wish we could get them here!
I would stick to either the Angel OR 1 Dwarf Gourami. Two is never a good idea and many people here don't recommend mixing Gourami and Angels. I wouldn't do it myself.
I wouldn't risk something as small as Rummy-nose tetras with a Reedfish. Diamond Tetras are very cool and big enough to be safe (I think). I would love some of these but they are about $15 apiece here! Colombian Tetras would also work and look nice in a big school. :) You could easily do 12 or more Diamonds or Colombians in that tank. Congos would work too although when I had congos I found them very nippy.
thanks guys, yea i did my research about reedfish, i may get 2, just in planning stages, and my LFS, has about 5 breeds of tetras, so i am sure i can find the type. i am gonna to risk the DG at fist, but if they mess with Angel they are out. what about peapck eel, i read that they are the smallest, i beleive ....I have been researching alot of eels and may have got confused i do know the fire eels get about 2 feet long and get bulky, so they are out of question
0Originally Posted by Nephalem
Good to know! I just knew that they were carnivorous and assumed the little cory's would be a nice brunch. lol.
Thanks for the correction tho.
Next big tank I get, I want my fish to hand feed-I think that is the coolest thing.
and +1 to 850R. my silver tip tetras are supposed to "school" and they honestly never do. so that lets me know that they feel comfortable in the tank
Alright, I reall like the red color, thinking of 10 of the serpai, would they be less likly to nip with that many

Need help building a sump
Hi guys,
I have never built a sump and would like to make one, but I have no experience with sumps and don't really know how things work. I have a 125 gallon tank and, as far as filtering, I have no issues, I have it filtered at 320 gal. What I want is to add live plants (not to the tank) to help me with water quality. I am thinking about getting a 50 gal. rubbermaid or something along those lines to plant it. Here is, roughly speaking, my idea:
Add a HOB overflow to the tank, have it overflow into the rubbermaid with plants, then back to the tank. As far as I know, I need a return pump to pump the water back into the tank once it reaches a certain level, so far so good.
I have seen the utility pumps available and don't know what to do, I am afraid to overflow the tank, the sump, or burn out the pump. Here are my questions:
- Can the pumps run continuously outside of the water? If so, I', thinking of setting up the pump on a rock or something at a certain height, once the water in the sump reaches the running pump then the pump sends it right back to the tank (which means the pump will be running dry quite often). Will this work?
Any help is appreciated
I'd recommend doing a lot of research on this... but there are some great people to talk to about them.
Look up mmramsey's threads, he does some great builds on his sumps
Pumps can not run without water, that will damage them.
The below links will help you design a sump that will avoid the problems you are referring to. It's actually pretty easy once you have gone through and built on for yourself

Holden's Barina transports the driver into a whole new world. Sometimes ...
Mark Knopfler wanted his MTV. But that's so 1985. I want internet radio in my car. And who'd have thought it would be the humble Holden Barina to bring it to me?
The latest top-specification Barina CDX has a touch-screen system called MyLink, which brings together audio, telephone and other functions with nice typefaces and pretty colours. That's not unusual.
What is a first for MyLink is a smartphone connection that allows you to control certain applications on your phone through the MyLink screen. The first to be offered are internet radio portals: MyLink comes with Stitcher (news, talk, comedy) and Pandora (music) embedded.
Pandora is the one really being pushed by Holden because it's big news in the US (175 million users, and rising) and it's new to New Zealand. The service was officially launched here in December.
Essentially, Pandora allows you to create your own radio station(s). Input your favourite artists, albums or genres and a "music genome" finds music you'll like. The genome is the work of trained musicians who have analysed each of the million-plus tracks in the Pandora catalogue.
You download the Pandora application to your smartphone, but MyLink has the ability to control it once you're connected via Bluetooth. I would like to tell you about using Pandora in the Barina CDX.
But I can't, because our test car didn't have the application on its MyLink screen. Quick call to Holden corporate affairs man Neil Waka. Apparently, our Barina arrived late last year before Pandora was properly up and running here, but it'll be added ASAP. The salient point being that if you rush out and buy a Barina CDX now, you'll get it. The full MyLink setup will also feature in the forthcoming VF Commodore.
I did try Stitcher, which works the same way as Pandora but is tailored to news and talkback. It works seamlessly: hit the app icon on MyLink, it takes a couple of seconds to talk to your phone then you're away, providing you retain a decent 3G signal.
Ah yes, the 3G signal. That means data. The possible downside of all this cool technology is that it's really easy to forget the car is using your cellphone data plan. Streaming radio consumes about 60MB an hour, so 1GB of data gets you up to 20 hours' listening. That's something to be mindful of, since a typical smartphone data plan is 1-3GB a month.
Once you've run out of data - which you may well do - a typical additional data charge of 20 cents per MB would mean you pay $12 an hour to listen to internet radio.
It's an issue we'll have to get used to, because this is the direction General Motors-Holden's in-car media is going. Realising that integrated technology can never keep pace with the portable stuff, particularly in cheaper cars, it's finding ways for cars to simply be a conduit for drivers' own devices. A system like MyLink can also be updated by the dealership or perhaps ultimately by the owner, via home computer and USB.
Other promising apps proposed for Holden's MyLink include BringGo sat-nav, which works in a similar way to Pandora: the driver's personal smartphone does all the work, while the car provides the control screen. It's smarter with data, too, because the BringGo application downloads navigation maps on to the device, meaning you're not eating up MB as the sat-nav checks the route.
By the way, the $26,990 Barina CDX is also good for driving around in, carrying luggage and so on.


text: Yes you read it right, I have a land cheating dog, it's almost like she programed to find any body of water. I'll agree 80% of the time it is better to have a dog in the water, however I want to tighten up her lines, and her land avoidance is causing me headaches. On long entries, she hits the water too soon, on shore-line marks she has a tendency to get fat, and she feels the need to hit any pond that might be anywhere in the vicinity of the line to a mark. The correction aspect is an issue as well give her a nick anywhere close and she's in the water, seems like I've been zapping her in mid-air , but she's just not getting the connection, just pushes her into the water faster. Look for suggestion to keep her on land.

You only need 30 minutes to whip up our hearty eggs baked in bread bowls.
If you prefer, you can substitute whole wheat, white, brioche, or challah rolls for the kaiser rolls.
Feel free to use fresh basil, thyme, or any other fresh herb you have on hand.
For added variety, substitute grated Cheddar, mozzarella, gouda or crumbled feta cheese for the grated Parmesan cheese. All would taste wonderful baked in your egg bowl.

Ich Finally Over??? Now What?
I have had a terrible battle with ich---3 clown loaches--the only fish that visibly had it. I treated the tank with that Quick Cure from Walmart and the next day my dojo was lying on his back. I quickly moved him to a one gallon and tried several treatments when you all finally told me to STOP! just give him clean fresh water with partial changes. In the end he somewhat recovered and he is now my little Neurally Challenged sweetheart. I moved him to another tank with a companion dojo----also all the fish from the ich tank were moved except the clown and the guppies--moved the snails too. So, the dojo flips on his back on occasion and looks positively gone--but flits around every so often and scavenges. Back to the clowns. I was thinking the ich was over when back it came in full force. So I tried the Maricide that supposedly works ON the fish for treatments just day 1, 3, 5. It appeared to work but what to my surprise???? A few days later it was worse than ever. Tried Ick Guard half strength--did nothing---tried combining it with salt and heat---wrong move---oxygen level got too low. Finally, I put my carbon back in and started removing the stuff (also I had done several partial water changes) and tried to just use the salt and heat combo. The little tiny loach didn't make it. A day or two later the midsize one died also. But finally I think the largest one is getting there. I am still using small amounts of salt in the partial water changes that I do every morning and have also done at night if there was any distress. When the guppies start hanging at the top I know there is an oxygen problem. I have three airstones in there plus I am running the aquaclear with a carbon/ammochip bag instead of plain carbon. I find that the high end of 82 is as warm as I can get it before I feel like the clown starts stressing. His spots appear to be gone. The water is always cloudy, no matter what. Has been from the first. I vacuum before I do the partial changes. All the readings are fine--no nitrites, low nitrates, no ammonia, semi-high ph (which is indicative of my water here). My question is how do I tell when to stop all this and then what do I do??? There are, of course the guppies in there that have weathered the complete storm. I already changed the filter sponge but nothing else (it was blue green from the Ick Guard I tried to get out of the tank. So I can clean my filter box out (which I do a fair amount anyway, always rinsing the contents, though in a bowl of tank water). Do I need to throw this new sponge away? how about the biomax media bag and the charcoal/ ammo chip bag? Will the whole tank just have to be recycled and what do I do with my clown and when can I tell if he's okay???? I don't want to stress him out all over again with a new tank setup???? Thanks for any help! Shirley
Typically the only way to make sure ich is gone is to continue your treatment 5 - 7 days AFTER you see the last spot on the last fish. That's because the ich parasite's life cycle can extend beyond any physical siting.
As difficult as it is to put the stress of either heat or salt or meds on the fish, you have to continue the treatment for that extended period to make certain it's all died off.
I wouldn't toss any media. ich needs a fish host to survive so it shouldn't live in your filter or media.
Just continue whatever method you've chosen and stay that course.
However, since you have salt sensitive fish, my choice would be to increase the heat to 86 and do daily water changes to get rid of the salt. Once you see the last spot, then leave the heat at 86 for a minimum of 5 more days (in your case since this has been so stubborn, I might increase that to 7 days) then gradually reduce the heat over a 2 day period while doing several water changes in a row and vacuuming thoroughly each time. (note: according to the clown loach profile I just read they should easily tolerate the higher temp).
Someone else may have a better idea but I've successfully treated ich with heat alone using this same method.
As to the cloudiness - most likely a bacterial bloom. You may have had some beneficial bacteria die off due to some of the medications and all the tinkering with the water. Just keep monitoring your perimeters to make certain you don't have an ammonia or nitrite spike and do w/c change accordingly if you do. the cloudiness should dissipate within a week or maybe even 3 weeks.
Good luck.

Not exactly what you ask for, but one thing that is extremely important in this hobby is patience and persistence. Nothing positive in this hobby comes fast. If you treat with something, stick to the full treatment course instead of skipping around if the treatment does not show results within the first day. Don't teat with multiple treatments at a time. If possible, give fish time to recover between treatments. Stress can do in fish just like a disease. Don't randomly add salt to the water, as high concentrations kill. Make sure you calculate exactly how much salt your tank needs. Don't clean your filter more than twice a month or you will lose a lot of bacteria. If your water parameters are good, that is what is important. Don't try five things in quick succession of each other. Change the water every couple of days, let things stabilize, your fish recover from stress and from there you can figure out about the cloudy water. Like fishmommie said some things just get better with time and nothing else. If your fish show no spots for one or two weeks in water of that temperature, you are most likely free of ich.

OMG, that is one of the biggest paragraphs I have seen in a while. Using properly formated paragraphs will make your post a lot easier to read and your questions a lot esier to understand. You might be able to get more advice that way as well.
First off, do not change any of your filter media. You don't want to loose your cycle and put your fish under more stress and toxins after going through a already stressfull treatment
Test your water parameters daily and change about 50% (or more) if any ammonia or nitrites are found. I would also suggest at least a larger (50% or more) weekly water change as well
I likely missed a few things as your post was very hard to read and followIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

I'm hoping for a complete recovery for Ace. Thank you for sharing this unfortunate occurance, it makes me wonder how many dogs have been lost or suffered in similar circumstances.
My very best regards to you,
I'm glad you had the guts to post this.
I hope all turns out well.
We can al learn from your experience and pay more attention to what our dogs tell us when hunting.
The fact that the dog is alive is proof enough to me that you've been forgiven.
Thanks for sharing, so that the majority of us will never have to go through what you did. Give him an extra cookie for me today......;-)
After almost losing my dog to an alligator this year, I know how sick of a feeling it is to almost lose your dog. Glad everything worked out.
Thanks for sharing your story. That must have been harrowing. Here's to his speedy and full recovery.
I have sent a prayer for Ace's recovery and your ability for forgive yourself. As it was said, as soon as you realized there was a problem you acted with heroic efforts and much of what you did helped to turn the tide toward's Ace's recovery.
Thank you for posting in such fine detail all of your actions and feelings as the story unfolded. I think your story will go a long way to helping others. First showing them how not to take our dog's endurance for granted and second what to do if something goes wrong.
Again, I am very glad your story turned out the way it did and I am keeping fingers crossed and saying a prayer for Ace's complete comeback.
If your story helps to save one dog from a similar plight, your post will well be worth it. I'm sorry for the trauma that you and Ace are going through.
My prayers for both dog and hunter.
Prayers for a full recovery for Ace. You certainly have the right outlook on this situation and glad you posted for others to learn. No one can say anything that would make you feel worse than you feel right now anyways. But don't be too hard on yourself. Keep us posted on how the boy is doing.
Matt called me last nite after leaving the animal hospital. I was shocked when he first started the story and thought he was gonna tell me something bad at the end. I am glad he is still around he is a very nice dog and i had a litter mate to him and another of us chris C had one they r all very special . Matt i hope Ace make a full recovery and is able to compete next spring and u guys have another good FT seasn. Keep me updated.
That took alot of heart to tell us that. You might have saved another dogs life here. Don't feel guilty. You didn't know.... Prayers from Alaska...

Watching the Wizard of Oz again. Still one of my all time favorite movies and has one of my favorite movie parts when the Tin Man is dancing and the smoke comes out of the funnel.
Even after 71 years I still watch it every time it's on TV. It truly is the epitome of a timeless classic.
Tonight I saw Due Date. While it's not the laugh-a-minute comedy the ads portray it to be, it's got a lot of good humor mixed in with genuine heart. I thought it was pretty good, even though the ending was bizarre to me . . . I thought they came to bury Two and a Half Men, not praise it, so I was taken off-guard by the shift there.
Watchin' Tropic Thunder. I'm wondering why they can't say the word retard (they replace it with special) yet the next sentence after bleeping that they let 'em say "God damn".
The Karate Kid Part II. First time I've seen it in probably 20 years. Still a fun movie, but, man, it requires a lot more suspension of disbelief and ignoring of basic common knowledge about Japan than it did originally.
On a plus note, having been reminded of how quickly and without much precedent Sato turned from evil to good, Anakin no longer holds the record for "quickest and least believable transformation."
I watched "The Crazies" tonight. Very interesting but also kind of your typical outbreak movie.
On Friday night I watched 7.62 millimeter Full Metal Jacket with a buddy of mine. He was in the Corps for a few years so I kept asking him "did this happen" and "is that real?" He said it was quite accurate.

RE:Yale Angler's Journal
Juro, At the Marlboro show I started a two year subscription to that publication and I also purchased all the back issues ( 6 in all) as well as the fist edition of the first issue which has gone though several editions so far.. I could not agree more with your assessment. It's a great journal and the Art and photo's submitted speak of a time long gone by. I recommend it highly and there are no ads. The stories are great and cover a wide spectrum. The Art submissions are really good. It's a little expensive and they publish twice a year but well worth it.
Yale Angler's Journal
I was given a copy of Volume 1 Number 1 of the Yale Angler's Journal by Andrew Liverman when we met. You may have seen the ad banner and clicked through to their website. Some have subscribed, and some were already signed up beforehand.
In any case, I leave the journal on my desk. When there is a slack moment, I open it up and take in a story, or sometimes just a paragraph. Maybe I only get a moment to ponder one of the classic angling prints included.
It's become a portal into a part of my angling psyche, sort of like this site but at a much different pace and in a different dimension. The stories speak to the very essence of fly angling, it's people, it's history. Right here on my desk.
It's miles apart from today's glossy commercial magazines, although every journal has it's place. Yale Angler's Journal certainly has it's place. I highly recommend it!
BTW - this is a totally unsolicited commentary encouraged by a reading break between meetings. I opened the journal randomly and read. The story was "No Man's Land", Gillespie.
