OXFORD – Spring break is suppose to be a relaxing time.
Not for the Tupelo Golden Wave baseball team.
The Wave took it on the chin for the second time in as many days, losing Wednesday to Christian Brothers 11-4 in action at the Oxford Spring Break Tournament.
Tupelo (6-5) was one-hit 3-0 on Tuesday by Olive Branch.
"We just allowed the big innings," Tupelo head coach Gary Enis said. "And of course we faced a good pitcher.
"But I think it did help us to face a quality pitcher getting ready for division play."
Tupelo tried to face off against 6-foot-5 Christian Brothers hurler John Wesley Ray. But the Ole Miss signee kept Tupelo bats off balance for his four innings of work, allowing only three hits over that span.
And the Christian Brothers offense did more than its share to aid the Memphis team in chalking up the win.
Tupelo starter Hudson Roy was touched for a pair of runs in the first inning on a walk and an RBI hit by Corey Herndon. Then in the top of the third, Roy was charged with three runs after a pair of walks, a hit batter, and a single.
In all, Tupelo pitching walked six and hit four batters, while allowing 10 hits.
Trailing 5-0, the Wave (6-5) tried to make it interesting in the bottom of the third. There, juniors Chase Cernigliaro and Roy singled, then scored on Michael Ray's RBI hit to pull within 5-2.
Christian Brothers tacked on four unearned runs in the fifth off reliever Ty Wheeler, who entered in the third frame. They also added a pair of runs in the sixth on a walk, double, ground out, and a sacrifice fly.
Tupelo added a run in the fifth on a fielders choice by Wheeler, and another in the sixth on back-to-back doubles by Carter Clayton and Michael Hensley.
Tupelo tries to rebound Saturday, hosting Oxford at 11 a.m., and Starkville at 4:30 p.m. Oxford and Starkville matchup in between those two Tupelo games.

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) last week introduced the "Real Education for Healthy Youth Act," aimed at educating teenagers about LGBT people and issues in federally funded sex education programs.
The bill lays out several main disqualifications for federal funding. A proposed program cannot promote gender stereotypes or be insensitive and unresponsive to the needs of LGBT youth. It cannot deliberately withhold life-saving information about HIV/AIDS, and it cannot teach information that is medically or scientifically inaccurate or ineffective. Finally, the program must be ethically sound in both a medical and public health sense.
With stories like this, media outlets are often tempted to reach out to anti-LGBT activists in an attempt to hear "both sides" of the story. Rather than contributing to an intelligent discussion about the issue, though, engaging anti-gay activists in these stories only perpetuates their anti-LGBT rhetoric and gives them a broader platform from which to use their scare tactics. More importantly, they are not experts on education or health, and have nothing other than their anti-gay platform to contribute to the dialogue. This would be irresponsible journalism that fails to accurately represent the issue.
GLAAD asks its constituents to watch out for any media coverage of this bill that includes the opinions of anti-gay activists instead of experts. Please report any inaccurate or irresponsible coverage of this story here.

Lost Level: Episode Fifty
Guys! It's episode fifty! We made it! So bust out the champagne while listening to this very special episode where we talk exclusively about games. There's a lot of video games coming out around this season, and its hard to cover them all. However, we're doing our very best to give you, our loyal listeners, our thoughts on some of the hottest titles that are coming out. So what games are we going to discuss this time? Let's go down the list. We have Halo 4, the latest game in the popular franchise helmed by a new studio: 343 Industries. We also get into the new DMC demo, which is also a popular series being handled by a new developer. This time it's Ninja Theory pulling the reins. Next is Assassin's Creed 3. Then Chris plays Persona 4 Golden, a handheld J-RPG, and actually likes it. No, really. It's weird. Finally, we fellate The Walking Dead by Telltale Games a little bit more as we give out final thoughts on the first season.

Family: Gadidae, Cods view all from this family
Description Alaska pollock or walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) is a North Pacific species of the cod family Gadidae. While related to the common Atlantic pollock species of the same family, the Alaska pollock is not a member of the same Pollachius genus.
The Norwegian pollock (Theragra finnmarchica), a rare fish of Norwegian waters, may actually be the same species as the Alaska pollock.
The Alaska pollock has been said to be "the largest remaining source of palatable fish in the world." More than 3 million tons of Alaska pollock are caught each year in the North Pacific from Alaska to northern Japan. Alaska pollock catches from U.S. fisheries have been quite consistent at about 1.5 million tons a year, almost all of it from the Bering Sea. Information on the current stock status for Alaska groundfish is updated annually, whereas the specific 2007 pollock assessment is also available. The Alaska pollock landings are the largest of any single fish species in the U.S. However, in each of the last three years, the pollock population has declined; in 2008, it fell 38 percent and scientists now believe that the 2008 pollock catch will be the lowest in 30 years. Although the fishery has been hailed as an example of good management, and the prestigious Marine Stewardship Council declared it "sustainable", Greenpeace has criticized its management for many years and placed pollock on its international "red list" of endangered fish. In response to the new data, Greenpeace called for 2009 catch levels to be reduced to half those of 2008 to avoid further long-term declines.
This decline has led some scientists to worry that Alaska pollock could be about to repeat the kind of collapse experienced by Atlantic cod, which could have negative consequences for the world food supply and the entire Bering Sea ecosystem. Halibut, salmon, endangered Steller sea lions, fur seals, and humpback whales all eat pollock and rely on healthy populations to sustain themselves.
It has been found that catches of Alaska pollock go up three years after stormy summers. The storms stir up nutrients, and this results in phytoplankton being plentiful for longer, which in turn allows more pollock hatchlings to survive.
Dimensions Up to 36" (90 cm).
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows, Open ocean.
Range California, Northwest, Western Canada, Alaska.

It appears Cornstalks you have had a success in your icon grrrr!
Personnel Message received from EmilyC
Sorry if you're not the right person to contact about this!
I'm a researcher at University College London (UCL) and I'm currently conducting an online study looking at how video games may impact on work-related strain and how well people recover from it. I'm therefore keen to recruit as many gamers as possible, so was wondering whether it would be possible to post a link in your forum? This is not a commercial survey and all respondents will be provided with instant feedback on their scores and where they can improve, and will be entered into a prize draw for one of six Amazon vouchers. The study has been granted ethical approval through the university and all answers will be kept confidential. If you have any questions, please let me know. Here is a link to the questionnaire if you'd like to have a look: https://uclpsych.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_2nMbPpGorN24ogB
Thanks and best wishes,
I am assuming the lounge is the appropriate place for this? If that can be confirmed so that I can reply to her.

Serves 6
Pomegranate molasses and seeds add seasonal flair and a fresh, sweet-tart taste to this brisket, ideal for the Jewish holidays and other special occasions. Prepare this dish a day or two in advance to allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become more tender and flavorful.
Put 1⁄4 cup of the pomegranate molasses, the mustard, garlic, coriander, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker and use a wooden spoon to mix well. Add the meat and turn to coat with the mixture (use your fingers to smear the mixture all over the meat).
Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in a 10-inch, heavy sauté pan over medium heat. When hot, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, limp, and sweet, about 20 minutes (discard any strips of red onion skin that separate from the flesh). Pour the onions on top of the meat.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, plus the tomato paste and flour to the pan. Stir until no white flour is visible, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the wine; return the pan to the heat, raise the heat to high, and simmer for about 2 minutes, whisking into a smooth, thick sauce. Add the remaining 2 Tbs. pomegranate molasses, the tomatoes with juices, stock, orange juice, and honey, and use a potato masher to gently mash the tomatoes. Boil until smooth and relatively thick, about 4 minutes, then pour over the meat-onion mixture.
Cover and cook on low until tender, about 8 hours. Carefully transfer the meat to a cutting board, and let rest for about 10 minutes. With a large shallow spoon or ladle, skim the fat off the top of the cooking juices. Cut the meat against the grain into roughly 1⁄3-inch-thick slices, mix it back into the sauce, and serve, garnished with the pomegranate seeds.

Rafael Nadal undecided over whether he'll play Indian Wells
As reported by Tennis.com, Rafael Nadal told reporters in Sao Paulo that he's unsure whether he'll play the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., next month. Nadal will wait until after he finishes his clay-court swing in Acapulco, Mexico, next week to make a decision.
"Let's see how my knee responds in Acapulco, we will discuss when we finish all this clay court [swing] what has happened during these three tournaments and what I thought about it. Then we will see if we are ready to play in Indian Wells or not. It is not a matter of better rivals or surface, is a matter of how my knee is progressing. I have no problem playing against better [quality] opponents better because I accept losing or winning. I understand that it's been a long time since I competed at the highest level. I have had only had two weeks getting rhythm, but I need time to continue to improve and become competitive."
Nadal is a two-time champion at the BNP Paribas Open, which begins on March 4, the first of two back-to-back ATP Masters 1000 hard-court events culminating in Miami at the Sony Open, an event he's never won. By the time Indian Wells begins, Nadal would have played three clay tournaments in four weeks as well as a hard-court exhibition event at Madison Square Garden with Juan Martin del Potro. The question for the Nadal camp is whether it's prudent to put his body through the rigors of hard courts with the European clay-court season just around the corner in April. Nadal hasn't won a hard-court title since Tokyo in 2010. He hasn't won a hard-court Masters title since Indian Wells in 2009. As The Associated Press reported last week, Nadal has made it clear that he believes hard courts are bad for his body. That mental block when it comes to the surface, especially after spending seven months away from competition, might be enough to keep him off it until the North American hard-court summer. If Nadal skips Indian Wells and Miami, he likely won't play a hard-court event until August.

Passing the torch
Billy Petersen and Karl Fredell have helped Tim and Scott Borden put on the Fourth of July fireworks show for years. So when the Bordens wanted to move to the background and have someone else run the show, the two instantly applied.
"There are a lot of volunteers behind the scenes, but we're really lucky," Petersen says. "We get to legally and responsibly play with fireworks."
Although the Bordens still will supply the fireworks, Petersen and Fredell will run the show. "It's a great opportunity to get into a unique niche," adds Fredell, who recently got his Display Fireworks Operators License, which involved studying rules, regulations and safety, and passing a 75-question test.
And Tim Borden is pleased with the new fuse-lighters. "They take pride in the show," he says. "The crowd won't see any difference."
To volunteer to help with the show, email skipetersen@gmail... or kfredell@steamboa... or call 970-846-5374.
Tim Borden was a wide-eyed second-grader in Montreal, Quebec, when he laid eyes on his first love.
Bins and bins of fireworks lined the walls, and 7-year-old Tim instantly was enamored with all things explosive.
"They had a buffet of fireworks," he says. "They'd sell them by weight, and you'd scoop up as many as you could."
Not a lot has changed for him, and he passed on the love of all things fireworks to his son, Scott. But now, 17 years after first putting on the Fourth of July fireworks show in Steamboat in 1995, the Bordens are passing the torch to locals Billy Petersen and Karl Fredell.
Still, their passion for fireworks hasn't dwindled. If anything, it's grown. Tim recently completed the arduous process of getting his license to manufacture fireworks and has already made two 24-inch and two 36-inch-diameter fireworks. Since fireworks that size can't be transported, they thought, "Why not build them?"
They shot a 24-inch shell off last year in Lake Havasu, Ariz., and plan to shoot one off in February at the 100th anniversary of Winter Carnival. They hope to shoot a 36-inch shell off at the Fourth of July fireworks show. The largest shell shot off at the July Fourth 2010 show was 16 inches in diameter.
"It'll be different than any other thing people have seen here," Tim Borden says. "We're making the 100th anniversary special."
If the display is unique, so is building the shells. They use a machine designed and patented by Connecticut pyrotechnician Jim Widmann, who came to their workshop this fall to show them how to make shell casings. Widmann has sold more than 300 machines to 27 countries, including the Russian Federation, and now there's one in Steamboat. The contraption features two Inkjet-like engines that rotate an exercise ball that gets wrapped with gum paper to make the casing. A computer ensures the paper is fed in correct layering patterns, and it takes 10,000 feet of gum paper to make the casing.
After the casing is done and dried, the circular shell is cut in half, and the Bordens spend a week making all the inner stars. When all is said and done, the shell will weigh at least 150 pounds and require 15 pounds of granulated black powder to shoot off and reach an altitude of 2,500 feet.
Fireworks this big are very uncommon, says Widmann, who's been making fireworks for 50 years.
"The last one I know of was two or three years ago," he says. "Steamboat should have the claim of firing the largest shell in America this winter."

In this issue:
President Bush's State of the Union was noteworthy for not being particularly noteworthy. The speech contained few new initiatives. Apart from addressing the need for a fiscal stimulus, President Bush stuck closely to familiar themes—the need to fight terrorism, the importance of spreading freedom, the need for patience in Iraq. It is not particularly surprising that the president chose more of the same; after all, he is in his final year of office. On the other hand, the United States faces a long list of pressing challenges around the globe, many of which urgently require new and innovative policy approaches. After tonight's speech, it appears such new approaches will have to await the next president.
The speech was also noteworthy for the narrowness of its treatment of foreign policy. The role of America's traditional allies, the more assertive stance of Russia, the rise of China, India, and other countries, recent developments in Latin America—these topics received scant attention. The United States needs to take the lead in adapting the international system to a changing distribution of global power. Again, it looks as if addressing this challenge will have to await the next U.S. president.
On foreign policy, President Bush's final State of the Union address closely tracked its predecessors. Iraq took top billing, as it has since 2002. Afghanistan got respectful but brief mention, as it always does. Iran's government was again warned and condemned, and its demise predicted. Israel and the Palestinians were urged to make peace—in slightly more detail this year because of the administration's diplomatic initiative. And that was basically it. It was as if the world outside the greater Middle East doesn't exist.
Bush's speech offered a useful illustration of the limits of his two main foreign policy themes: the war on terror and the promotion of liberty. Obviously, combating violent jihad deserves discussion, especially with America fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. But by describing it as the defining foreign policy challenge of our time, as Bush did again in the speech, he turns much of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America into a strategic afterthought.
Bush was also right to stress America's commitment to global liberty, a theme espoused by virtually every president since Wilson. But by providing no conceptual framework except democracy-promotion, he found himself with no language for discussing U.S. policy toward authoritarian powers that we cannot realistically isolate. It is an odd State of the Union speech that mentions Sudan, Zimbabwe, Belarus, and Burma, but ignores Russia and China. But that is the natural result of Bush's ideological straitjacket. If democracy promotion is America's sole global foreign policy framework, countries weak enough to pressure are worth discussing. Countries too powerful to pressure, by contrast, must be ignored lest they expose the limitations of the theme.
President Bush's advisors like to suggest that he has created an intellectual legacy that his successors will have to adopt regardless of party, as Eisenhower adopted containment from Truman. But if the next president adopts Bush's ideological strictures, he or she will also end up giving State of the Union addresses that never mention China. And that's an intellectual legacy not worth inheriting.
President Bush proposed two budget initiatives that would have divergent consequences for U.S. interests. His call to make the tax cuts permanent would drain the federal government of money, making it harder to pay for international commitments and deepening the nation's unhealthy dependence on foreign capital.
But his support for the $150 billion stimulus agreed upon in the House of Representatives last week was constructive. Assuming timely action from the Senate, the stimulus will boost the flagging economy in the second half of this year, and it will reduce the extent to which the Federal Reserve has to cut interest rates. Interest rate cuts tend to drive the dollar down, and avoiding too many of them enhances the chances of preserving the dollar's status as the global reserve currency.
Bush also called upon Congress to pass trade deals, and correctly said that the losers in an open economy should be helped with Trade Adjustment Assistance. But he could have gone further and advocated that the nation should adopt a system of wage insurance, as this Council Special Report argued last year.
Foreign policy nearly always trumps economics and that was true in this State of the Union as well. In a war-free world, bilateral free trade agreements are less good than multilateral ones—economically they make less sense and sometimes distort the flow of trade. But given the news from Latin America, and the eventual passing of Fidel Castro, the bilateral agreement with Colombia that Bush pushed tonight makes sense. Even as the news organizations were receiving an embargoed copy of the State of the Union, they were reporting that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was pushing a military alliance against the United States.
President Bush said that if we fail to pass the Colombian bilateral agreement "we will embolden the purveyors of false populism." He is not wrong.
Other economic policies in the speech were also influenced by U.S. challenges abroad. Instead of plugging hard for making his earlier tax cuts permanent, as he might have done in pre-Iraq days, the president merely included that permanence concept in a basket, along with the $150 billion temporary stimulus package. Yesterday it was earmarks. Today it is stimuli. Both are more political than economic. The popular stimuli in the bipartisan package are not as important to U.S. competitiveness as the currently unpopular idea of making the income tax rate cuts permanent.
The president was notably upbeat on Iraq. And Iraq's prognosis is indeed better today than it has been for a long time. An end to major violence is now a real possibility, and with it a major reduction in the risk of a wider war and the human cost of further bloodshed for both Americans and Iraqis. These are important opportunities.
But they won't produce Eden on the Euphrates. The President's address notwithstanding, liberty will take a back seat to security in Iraq for many years to come. A stable Iraq—if we can get it—would probably look a lot more like Bosnia or Kosovo than like Japan or Germany. And like Bosnia and Kosovo, stability would probably require peacekeepers: a long-term presence by foreign troops to keep a patchwork quilt of wary former enemies from turning on one another.
So there is hope for Iraq. But this is no time for a victory parade. Stability's requirements are hard; its payoff would be imperfect; and if any of this is to be realized then a great deal of hard political work will be needed to convince a skeptical public that the payoff is worth the cost.
President Bush tried to put a positive spin on his administration's track record of promoting democracy in the Middle East, and on his belated efforts to jumpstart peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. But the realities of the region contradict Bush's rhetoric.
Lebanon—which was cited by Bush as an example of a country that recently produced "stirring moments in the history of liberty"—today is facing the worst internal political crisis since the end of its 15-year civil war in 1990. More broadly, there are few signs that Israelis and Palestinians will be able to carry out substantial negotiations this year that would lead to a peace deal by the time Bush leaves office.
Arab leaders blame the breakdown of Israeli-Palestinian talks on Bush's refusal for seven years to actively engage in Middle East peacemaking, until the recent Annapolis summit. Even limited progress on peace efforts could provide diplomatic cover for the Sunni Arab states to cooperate more closely with the United States, and work to isolate Iran.
On his highly touted visit to the Middle East earlier this month, Bush failed in his most urgent mission: to convince Arab leaders that their best hope for countering Iran is to stick with the United States. While they showered Bush with gifts and praise in their opulent palaces, Sunni Arab leaders were sizing up whether his lame duck administration is capable of containing Iran. The largely Sunni Gulf states still view Iran as a significant threat, but they now favor negotiation with Tehran instead of confrontation. Bush tried to convince the Arab states, especially the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, to isolate Iran. But the Emirates have substantial banking and economic ties with Tehran. And in recent months, Saudi Arabia has taken significant steps to reach out to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The Saudis and other Arab regimes are most concerned with their own survival, and they realize the waning power of the Bush administration.
President Bush was right to say that the surge has "achieved results few of us could have imagined just one year ago," and he deserves credit for implementing it.
His message about Iran was less compelling. He called on the mullahs to stop their nuclear enrichment work, stop oppressing their own people, and stop their support of terror abroad. But he provided no idea of how to achieve these important goals beyond more of the same—which is to say lofty rhetoric (such as in the State of the Union) backed up by weak sanctions. He made no mention of the National Intelligence Estimate issued by his own intelligence community, which makes it much tougher to get tough with Iran. Instead of offering fresh thinking, he offered stale threats: "America will confront those who threaten our troops, we will stand by our allies, and we will defend our vital interests in the Persian Gulf."
Those are certainly laudable goals. But the Iranian leaders can be forgiven if they don't take these words seriously coming from a president who, even when he wasn't a lame duck, did little to either foment peaceful regime change in Iran or to punish its rulers for their acts of aggression: acts that have resulted in the deaths of American soldiers. Bush's failure to stand up to the Iranian menace represents perhaps the biggest failure of his presidency—unless it is eclipsed by his failure to deal with the looming threat of Pakistan, which earned barely any mention at all in this State of the Union.
Yet those shortcomings may be forgiven by posterity if his bold gamble to turn around the war in Iraq—the defining issue of his presidency—ultimately pays off.
President Bush's discussion of foreign policy was very clearly couched in terms of the Freedom Agenda, pitting terrorism and extremism versus freedom and democracy. The United States' engagement in Afghanistan was justified as a vital national interest and a means to deny a foothold to our nation's enemies: the terrorists and extremists. Pakistan, too, was fitted into this scheme, as the president made a passing reference to Benazir Bhutto's mourners who paid a price for pressing ahead for democracy.
But by playing up the theme of the Freedom Agenda, the president once again missed an opportunity to articulate a specific strategy for advancing U.S. goals in these exceedingly complicated states, where stability and political reform are not uniformly complementary. Pakistan, a country that combines terrorism, nuclear weapons, a history of regional tensions, and a tumultuous political transition, exemplifies just these sorts of complications. And while the president is to be commended for recognizing that Afghanistan is a vital U.S. interest, he offered little in terms of a plan for reinvigorating U.S. efforts there over the long haul. The addition of several thousand U.S. Marines is a start, but more a stopgap than a solution.
In sum, with respect to Pakistan and Afghanistan, the president fell into a familiar pattern: his soaring ambition lacked convincing plans for implementation.
The key announcement made in regard to global health issues was President Bush's call for a doubling of funding for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR): this is not new. The call to reauthorize funding for PEPFAR at twice its current level, bringing it to $30 billion, for five years worth of HIV/AIDS programs in 15 countries sounds impressive, but it was included in the White House FY09 budget request, sent to Congress months ago. In both the House and Senate Democrats well surpassed the Bush administration request, counter-offering $50 billion. In effect, then, the president was asking Congress to reduce PEPFAR spending by $20 billion.
The president mentioned plans to reduce malaria illness by half in sixteen countries. Here, again, he has backed off from higher ground. In prior speeches, Bush called for "eradicating malaria illness in Africa," a far larger goal.
Earlier today, the White House indicated President Bush would unveil what staffers said was a "big idea to end hunger." This turned out to be a call to reverse longstanding administration support for policies that compel U.S.-supported food programs to buy agricultural products from American farmers, at far greater cost than would be incurred by purchasing crops from local producers in poor countries. The old policies served two deleterious roles: food cost more and when distributed free in poor countries undercut local farmers. While the reversal of that policy will be welcome news for starving people in famine-struck regions of the world, and for the poorest farmers on earth, it should be noted that the American farm lobby no longer blocks foreign purchasing. The cessation of most domestic opposition to overseas purchasing is a result largely of the Bush administration support of corn production for ethanol. Ethanol priorities in the United States have radically driven up the cost worldwide, threatening to worsen malnutrition in poor countries.
President Bush went through a short checklist of African issues in his speech, reiterating long-standing administration policies and programs in Africa. He restated U.S. opposition to "genocide in Sudan," while proposing nothing to end it. He expressed his support for "freedom in Zimbabwe," but did not suggest anything new that the United States would do to achieve it. The president endorsed U.S. leadership in the global fight against poverty but did not indicate an enhanced U.S. commitment.
He called on Congress to "fully fund" his signature Millennium Challenge Corporation, which despite solid bipartisan support has been allocated not more than half of the funding that the administration has requested in the past several years. He also urged Congress to pass a new law that would, for the first time, permit U.S. taxpayers' funds to purchase food surpluses generated by foreign farmers. (To date, the United States can purchase excess farm production only from American farmers.) While he mentioned his anti-malaria initiative in Africa, Bush reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to the fight against HIV/AIDS and asked Congress to appropriate $30 billion over the next five years for that battle.
While signaling his strong support for continued U.S. engagement in Africa, the president did not acknowledge the difficult tradeoffs that must be made, in terms of both policy concerns and resource allocations, as the U.S. government sets its international priorities for the coming year.

And, the Shi'a are armed well enough to take on the Sunni insurgency. They won't fight if they think we will do the fighting for them which is what American NeoCons would like for us to do.
The Shi'a Kurds are armed to the nines and are willing to take this Sunni insurgency on. However, since we disrupted the balance of power the Kurds may be willing to form an alliance with Iran which is mostly Shi'a. That is unless the Saudis are willing to come up with some cash and troops to keep the Iranians out. But, the Saudis too are looking for America to fight their fight. They gone a great job of manipulating our Foreign Policy in the past and they know they have support for the so-called Conservatives in DC to fight their fight. Though Saudi Arabia is mostly Sunni, the royal family knows that a Sunni government with no king would oust them.

If you look it up you will find that the war between Muslims began in Iran when the rebelled against the Shaw! This was when Carter was President, and although the leaders of the radical Muslims where in Iran, in exile, Carter pulled the rug out from under the Shaw, which in turn allowed the rebellion to succeed! That was the beginning of the growth of radical Muslims....
Meanwhile there is a whole bunch of our citizens surrounded in Baghdad
Aren't the Kurds Christian? I could be wrong. This is very interesting and shows how little we know about managing the Middle East. We took a dictator of a stable regime out and replaced it with a democratic government that the country knew would not last, and trained troops that would not fight to defend it
How interesting would it be if after this CF we become allies with Iran as we should have been since we screwed mossadegh in the fifties.
Once we drive them out of Iraq we then must keep our spoils of war... the Oil. Work with Iran afterwards to stabilize the area. At least by taking control of the oil, we can pay for the illegal immigrants back home, and for our military intervention.

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Stopped at my local fly shop again this week, I am getting to love these guys, no pressure, give my free tips on new flies and where to go in the great lakes area. They are honest and know their subject matter, and have some high ethics. I just may be making my next large $$ purchase item from them. Now I amjust buying fly tying supplies and miscellanous small stuff like leaders etc. No rods, reels, waders yet etc...
Since their shop is at least 1-2 hours away from the prime trout and salmon rivers they have no $$ incentive to stear me to one specific location plus they donot have a guiding business.
Hope they stay in business, I will do my part to support them.
And the more newcomers will learn about what constitutes good customers service, good adviceon equipment, and help them decide whether thelocal shop is worthyof their hard-earned dollars.
|Flyboy any discussion that people are makes people think is a good one. Even if it is futile and based completely off opinion. If we weren't talking about this what would we be talking about?? I am glad so many people have opinions about issues like this, the more opinions people have and share the more opportunity I have to learn something
Well, let's not go into cardiac arrest flyboy!
These ongoing debates give voice to our concerns on where flyfishing is going from the commercial aspect (i.e., profiteering from shop owners, guides, publications, etc.). Most flyfishers are affected to some degree, either first hand as in price gouging, or second hand by the increasing demands on the resource by the increasing numbers of new entrants/practitioners.
As to the particular point of discussion - The simple acknowledgement that most shops price per MSRP on major purchases brings us to the "value added" point of customer service and the hope that shop keepers will understand this makes or breaks their business and, therefore, act accordingly. Sorry, in today's economy, few things can be separated from their "pocket book" connection, especially retail sales!
And one's rant is simply an opinion held dear - usually no more, no less.
There's plenty of room to talk fishin'. Start a thread.
(Namecalling is not welcome or needed on this site. --- moderator)
These on going debates about the worth of fly shops and whether or not the are helpful are such a waste of time. Lets take about the sport itself, about times on the river, about friends, about the great sport we all love. Lets stop this pointless ranting about subjects that really have NO bearing on our sport.
God I never thought I'd come to the defense of Sparky, so I will just a little bit. Though I don't and won't shop at the shop he works at now and only in an emergency at his last. I must say that Sparky once took the time when his old shop was real busy to show me the equipment that gear fishermen use and how they put it together. It was fun looking at corkies, mootching rigs and flashers and dodgers and every other piece of exotic hardware. It was interesting listening to the Spark explain the philosophical differences between a corky fished with yarn and a corkie fished with eggs behind. Spark knew I wasn't going to buy any of that stuff but knew I wanted a better understanding of why and how other types of fishermen fish for salmon and steelhead so he spent the time explaining and I enjoyed it. Thanks Sparky and be careful what you say and ask for. There is always a possibility that a hard rain will fall. You dodged a hurricane on Wednesday nite you never know when your luck will run out.
Unless you want to be a fishing bum and I don't advise that living in expensive suburbia you should go back to school do your home work.
Again I apologize...I really dont remember ever being bothered by screaming kids. I love kids, no matter how old, no matter how much they scream.
I would go as far to say I can not wait to have a couple of my own...but I won't. I must first find a young lady that flyfishes that isnt CRAZY!!!...I am not saying all women are crazy, I have just had some runs in with some female fishers that are less then all there.
btw-I dont want to leave the industry...I love helping customers (aside from those you know whats that bitch about shops ). I love bieng around flyfishing everyday, all day...I love the soap operas, I love learning new stuff everday and I hate HOMEWORK...so until finishing my degree in college does not include homework, I will remain a shopee!!
I just shrugged it off with a "Kids today" eye-rolley thing. I was kidding about the fish reports. I would never drop a serious report in a shop no matter how well they treated me! I'll give you the throwaways, west side lakes and such, but nothing really important
Other instances involved my squwalling 1.5 year old. It may bother you when he does it in the shop, but he's been doing it to me for the entire ride there, and will do it all the way home... :eyecrazy:
Take it easy, do your best, and get out of the business as soon as you can :hehe:
Leland -
Great points made. To support your point, of all the names you listed I know all but three myself, and I'm on a first name basis with them.
Since I live 3000 miles away from these shops, this is priceless when I pop into town. Sometimes I am whizzing by these shops with you at o'dark thirty when I am lucky enough to be in town fishin'
I am curious as to what the other instances where?? Not because I dwell on some like this because it is never my intent to piss off a customer or a blow a customer off and if there is something I am doing to cause these feelings, I would like to know so that I could change personality/behavior behind the counter.
Secondly, I apologize about the incident in regards to the leaders. I vaguely remember the conversation but to be honest, I never blow anyone off.
If I need to multi-mask at a certain time such as help multiple customers, answer the phone etc. etc., I will do whatever I can to keep my focus on the customer at hand but if I need to run for a quick period of time, I always excuse myself, let the customer know I will be right back or tell the customer to ask myself or a fellow employee if he has any other questions.
Coming from a fellow that used to work in a shop, you should understand at times, everything can be very hectic and as much as you would love to give every customer your undivided attention, especially those that need it or ask for it, it is not always possible (and at those times, I in someway let the customer know of the circumstance).
Or, if I am getting a vibe that I have answered a customers question and they want me to stop hovering, I will go away. I dont want to the customer to feel as though I am being pushy, they are being watched or shadowed.
Next time you stop in, introduce yourself and I will treat you to a few leaders or a hat or some hooks or something (and not because I want a fishing report out of you).
New Ideas
O C, I've already met several of the guys from Montana and they have been very good about buying my products. I never paid much attention to how ugly they were as I'm not exactly sleeping beauty myself. I hope you do stop in for a visit. You don't even need to wear a tie. Your waders and corks are just fine. And you don't have to bring lunch as the Canyon Inn is about 20 seconds away if my wife's on strike that day. Please leave the trinkets at home though as my window is only 2ft square and that is taken up by an Airflo decal. I think I know what you look like as my grandson has your picture with that big steelhead hanging over the desk. I'll be on the lookout for you. Thanks for the warning.
|Philster, which shop in Frisco and when? Maybe you pissed me off.... maybe I pissed you off.
Hey MJC,
The boys from Montana are headed your way for a couple weeks but they are not fishing, they never fish, never. They are going to stop into your shop and say hello. They are ugly guys and some of them even have uglier dogs so watch out. Make em buy something will ya. I want to come up and do the same when I get out to the rattle river. Will be over some afternoon about lunch, want me to bring? Also I'll look in my closet and dig out all those trinkets people with nice intentions but absurd taste sent me for christmas gifts over the years. Most of them came from the Ovis shop or the Rivers Ege in Bozeman so they are tackless classy. If you put them in your shop window to sell will the locals run you out of Peck? I've seen those guys over there in full camo that march around your neighbors yard. Looking forward to stoping in and meeting you. I'll be the guy without the bandana and cowboy hat and who is getting uglier every day in body, mind and soul.
"Suport good shops, bannish the rest!"

|Leland Miyawaki
I have been peeking at this thread for a couple weeks now and here's my couple pennies worth. Maybe it will offer a different perspective.
I go into a lot of flyshops mostly when I'm nearby and curious, in town to fish a local river, or simply looking for the company of people who share the same passion as me. I'm a people person and as such, I frequent those flyshops where there are people I enjoy seeing and talking to about fishing. I go to Countrysport in Portland, Oregon because I have known John Hergenhan, the owner, for about 12 years and still create his advertising (it was a friendship before a business relationship). I walk to Kaufmann's, in downtown Seattle because I fish with Blair (we were on the Snoqualmie together just this morning). I like sharing information with Dave at The Morning Hatch. I drop in to see Mike Duey at The Mad Flyfisher when I'm in the neighborhood. I like shooting the bull with Troy at the Northwest Angler because both he and I love fishing for salmon and searuns with poppers. I fish with Jimmy LeMert at Patricks and besides that, my good friend, Les Johnson works there. I enjoy talking to Nathan at Avid Angler when I'm nearby looking for a good book next door. I designed the logo for Creekside in Issaquah but it seems I'm always roaring down the freeway too early or too late to stop in to see Hugh or Peter.
On the surface, it sounds like a lot of heavy name-dropping, but I did it only to illustrate the reasons why I go into flyshops. Let's face it, everyone sells the same stuff and in the end, it's people who make the difference.
When it comes time to make a major equipment purchase or get advice, I have a lot of friends I can rely on for advice, including the ones I have at the shops and all their help and advice is invaluable.
Works for me,
Too much fun!
This is about as funny a thread as we have had for some time. I find myself agreeing with a bit of what everyone has said about fly shops in general and a few in particular.
I have been frequenting "Tackle Shops" thats what they were called fifty years ago, for at most fifty years. I really liked the ones when I was in grade school they had lunch counters and sports betting, magazines, and of course tackle. The most revered spot in all the shops was where the Bamboo Fly Rods were displayed. You could get by with scanning the likes of Argosy and Police Gazzette (So called Girly magazines of there day) but you had better have permission from the man behind the counter before you started massaging any cane.
As to what are the guys behind the counter worth? Well from wage scale I'll leave that up to management, as to what the intrinsic value is I guess pretty high as I still seem to seek out shops in my travels and have actually had a number of good friends either owning or working in Fly Shops.
As to the G strings you might want to check with the Fur Company in Sitka Ak. he has Furry Jock Straps displayed in his window all the time!!!!!!!

"Save America's Treasures" has been totally eliminated—the largest Federal program supporting preservation of such treasures as the original Star Spangled Banner and George Washington's tent.
65% of Americans don't know what happened at the Constitutional Convention, according to a recent survey by Newsweek.
The "Teaching American History" grants—the largest Federal program supporting history education—have been completely eliminated.
Visits to the Top 20 Civil War battlefields have dropped in half from 1970 to 2009 according to official National Park Service statistics.
40% of Americans can't identify whom we fought in World War II, according to a recent survey by Newsweek.
A quarter of Americans believe Congress shares power over U.S. foreign policy with the United Nations, according to a recent Annenberg survey.
"There is little that is more important for an American citizen to know than the history and traditions of his country," John F. Kennedy wrote in American Heritage.
The "We the People Program," which touched some 30 million students and 90,000 teachers over 25 years, has been completely eliminated.
Two-thirds of Americans could not correctly name Yorktown as the last major military action of the American Revolution, according to a recent national Gallup survey.
The National Heritage Areas and Scenic Byways program, the only major Federal program encouraging visits to historic places, has been completely eliminated in Congressional committee.
And in doing so, the fate of Congress—will it be weak? will it be strong?—is determined
In December, 1847, after Robert C. Winthrop of Massachusetts had won election as Speaker of the House of Representatives, three of the nation's most remarkable political leaders stopped by to offer advice. Winthrop, a graduate of Harvard College and scion of one of the country's most distinguished families, was already a veteran of several Congresses and hardly the kind of man who would seek advice. The office he now held, however, was of immense importance. On him, in part, rested the fate of representative government in the United States.

Maternal origins of diabetes
The double burden of under- and over-nutrition in low and middle income countries is a diabetes time bomb. Maternal malnutrition results in babies unequipped to metabolise food, making them highly susceptible to diabetes. This acts as an intergenerational tax on the poorest people, passing poverty and diabetes down from mother to child. Improved maternal nutrition is therefore a vital element of the fight against diabetes.
The association between size at birth and disease later in life has been explained by the concept of foetal programming, with the intrauterine environment assuming great significance in determining the long term prospects of the foetus. A worst case scenario for chronic conditions such as diabetes is an infant with low birth weight (LBW) who then gains weight rapidly in childhood and adult life, which can lead to obesity and diabetes. The tendency for this scenario to happen is increased in low- and middle-income countries undergoing rapid transition.
In many countries, gender bias and discrimination constrain and limit women's and girls' rights, choices, capabilities and opportunities, causing them to disproportionately experience hunger, food insecurity and poverty. Twice as many women suffer from malnutrition as men, and girls are twice as likely to die from malnutrition as boys. This pattern is reflected in the nutritional status of women during pregnancy and motherhood.
Maternal nutrition is closely related to a number of factors, including gender equality. Therefore, in countries with high rates of gender equality, diabetes is a ticking time bomb.
A serious threat is the growing evidence that these impacts are not just felt by the offspring of an underweight mother, but that this pattern continues generation after generation. It has been found that women who were malnourished as infants are more likely to give birth to LBW babies, and this relationship can span up to three generations.
As a result of this intergenerational effect, combined with the relationship between LBW and future risk of diabetes, the burden of diabetes has the potential to multiply across generations.
A Maternal Health Issue
Uncontrolled and undiagnosed diabetes during pregnancy threatens both mother and child. Preexisting type 1 and type 2 diabetes can lead to life-threatening complications. Gestational diabetes that is onset or first recognized during pregnancy is also associated with several pregnancy complications and increased future risk of type 2 diabetes for mother and child. Diabetes may already be the leading cause of high risk pregnancies in some countries. Governments must act to end this suffering that affects millions of women and children.
Without pre-conception planning, type 1 and type 2 diabetes can result in a significantly higher risk of maternal and child mortality and morbidity during pregnancy. The reported incidence of maternal mortality of pregnant type 1 diabetic women is 5–20 times higher than that of women without diabetes.
GDM is associated with a threefold risk - perinatal morbidity and mortality, the mother developing type 2 diabetes in the years following her pregnancy, and the infant being predisposed to obesity and diabetes later in their life. Women with GDM often give birth to macrosomic or large-for-gestational age (LGA) infants, which in settings with poor obstetric care can result in life threatening complications for the mother, such as obstructed labour.
Although diabetes may already be the leading cause of high risk pregnancies in some countries, it remains an invisible cause of maternal and child death and is undermining progress in child and maternal health.
In order to accelerate progress on maternal mortality and increase the profile of this neglected issue UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched the Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health. The strategy recognises that the good health of women and children is vital to progress promotes approaches to maternal and child health to enable them to be drivers for development.
Without action on diabetes, progress in reducing maternal mortality and improving the health of children and mothers is at risk.

HOUSTON – Chris Jones put on his latest jersey Friday and only 89 other high school players in the country can say that.
The 6-foot-6, 255-pound Houston High defensive end and Mississippi State commitment was presented his 2013 Under Armour All-America jersey in a presentation at the school by game sponsor American Family Insurance.
The sixth-annual Under Armour All-America Game is scheduled for Jan. 5 at 4 p.m. at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla.
"In a way it's a surprise, but I work hard all year to get where I am," Jones said. "It's great. The hard work pays off."
Many on the ESPN 150 list are scheduled to play, including Loganville (Ga.) High defensive end Robert Nkemdiche, the nation's top prospect, who is reported to be considering Ole Miss. Players will have three practice sessions at Orlando's Wide World of Sports to start the week-long event.
Going into Friday's state quarterfinal game, Jones had 148 tackles this season, an average of 11.4 per game, to go along with 13 sacks and 46 hurries for the Hilltoppers.
'A huge move'
"I've improved in many aspects of the game. It was a huge move on a late decision," Jones said. "I'm looking forward to playing with some of the best players throughout the nation."
Houston (11-2) entered Friday's MHSAA Class 4A quarterfinal at Louisville with a school-record 11 wins, including the school's first playoff victories.
Last season, his first after moving from Nettleton, Jones played in only six games and averaged 9.4 tackles and had five sacks.
Houston coach William Cook was asked about Jones' attributes that stand out to college coaches.
"His attitude, his leadership and the intangibles you can't coach, his size, his wingspan, his speed, and then his effort is never-ending," Cook said.
"We're glad he's giving us the publicity, bringing people in to see our program, our kids, this town and this community to see how great it is."

The property itself has been designed so that as much greenery as possible was left in place. If you find trees on the property you purchase YOU will decide to keep them or not!
"The best property investment in Latin America."
The properties, (LOTS) shown in this website are privately owned and do not have anything to do with a Developer! That's why we can sell at a price below current market value!

I wanted to thank Gooser for the wonderful and beautiful urn he crafted for my Flash. I asked him to make something unique and special which represented just how much Flash meant to me - I think he nailed it! This picture does not do it justice.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mike, my boy now has a place to rest that is fitting for a heart dog!
I'm also curious just how many other RTFers have been fortunate enough to have such a wonderful hand crafted urn from the Gooser? He made one for our Ranger, too when we lost him a couple years back, now him and Flash sit next to each other.
p.s. Gooser - what kind of wood is it made out of again?

Libya: Misrata is difficult to access. Humanitarian assessment finds people in need of medical supplies
The United Nations completed its second inter-agency humanitarian assessment mission to the Libyan port city of Misrata on 14 July, which has seen some of the worst fighting over the past months. Though aspects of normalcy have returned to Misrata, fighting continues in the area and the city remains exposed to intermittent rocket attacks. With an estimated pre-conflict population of 517,000 people, Misrata – Libya's third city - is situated 210 km to the east of Tripoli on the Mediterranean coast, and can currently only be accessed by sea.
The UN inter-agency mission, including OCHA, WFP, UNHCR, UNICEF, WHO, the UN Mine Action Office and UNFPA, assessed security and urgent humanitarian needs over four days, including food, health, water, sanitation, hygiene, shelter.
Mission members noted that some shops and markets have now re-opened. However, community leaders told the UN team that rising food prices, a shortage of supplies, and an acute lack of cash were preventing the majority of people from buying enough food. Mission members found that large quantities of explosive remnants of war (ERW) remain in Misrata. Community leaders also said there is a 15 km minefield between the coastal towns of Misrata and Zlitan, which they reported had killed two civilians and injured 30 others.
According to WHO, immediate health needs are very serious in Misrata and throughout Libya due to interruptions to the supply of life-saving medicines and medical supplies. WHO is particularly concerned about access to vaccines for children throughout Libya. There is also a shortage of health professionals, including nurses, midwives, and other hospital staff.
WFP expressed concern regarding humanitarian access to the city. "The only way we can reach the population is by sea", explained WFP's Azhar Mehdi Salih. "The road from Benghazi to Misrata is too dangerous to use due to the ongoing fighting". WFP has distributed 2,634 metric tons of food in Misrata to 125,000 people since April.
UNHCR is assessing the extent of shelter damage and is looking at how homes can be rebuilt.
Misrata's main street had come under heavy bombardment during the past months. The IOM mission to Misrata on 11 July also conducted an assessment of the camp hosting migrants. The assessment found that additional tents are urgently needed.
Protracted fighting in and around Misrata has also exposed children to risks associated with armed conflict. UNICEF has identified an urgent need for psychosocial support for children and is working to create child friendly spaces in which children can play safely, learn and express themselves. IOM continues to evacuate third country nationals from Misrata by boat. 232 migrants left on 11 July, bringing the total evacuated to nearly 7,900 since April.
UN agencies are coordinating with international NGOs in the Misrata area. The Misrata Inter-Agency Humanitarian Hub was established a month ago to provide support on logistics, mapping, and coordination and to provide security advice to aid workers in Misrata. It is run by ACTED, with CESVI and Mercy Corps.
At a briefing to Member States in New York on 12 July, Humanitarian Coordinator Panos Moumtzis noted that security concerns guide the planning of all missions to Libya. Underscoring the need for regular access to all communities affected by the conflict in Libya, he confirmed that a revised appeal would be released in September.

Scores of Scores
The New Mexico film industry's proverbial belt gets another notch punched in it this week, but it's not what you'll see that's making the state proud—it's what you'll hear. Albuquerque musician Tom Monahan composed the score for Fat Head, a nationally released docu-comedy starring, written and directed by Tom Naughton. The film is a direct challenge to Morgan Spurlock's 2004 Super Size Me (and, indirectly, an homage to Subway's "Jared" ad campaign). It follows Naughton as he eats nothing but fast food for 28 days and loses weight.
Monahan says he composed the score on his Mac's GarageBand software right here in Albuquerque, then sent the files to Hollywood where they were professionally recorded. Fat Head makes its Albuquerque debut at Guild Cinema on Friday, April 17, with two shows at 7 and 9 p.m. Monahan will be at the screenings, so come prepared with your questions about breaking into the film scoring biz. For more on the movie, visit fathead-movie.com.
And speaking of soundtracks, April's Best of Burque second-place winners for Best Avant-Garde act Carlosaur and Eva Ave. just completed a score of their own. The film is "Spider Woman Salt Cake," a four-
Be a Little Kiss Records Intern
"Little Kiss Records is a small but mighty local record label," LKR founder James S. de Champlon opens in an e-mail to the Alibi. He says the label—which houses a handful of bands like Nels Andrews & The El Paso Eyepatch, Jasper Brown, Boyd Reno Is John Center, Foma and the Darlington Horns—is starting to focus on expanding its marketing, and that's going to require the help of some interns.
Little Kiss needs assistance in placing "national and international calls to radio stations, checking on and encouraging airplay for current releases." There may also be a responsibility-heavy position open for intern marketing coordinator, one that "could be used as some sort of course credit for a graduate student," he suggests. The gigs are nonpaying (but, it should be noted, rich in potential to make you smarter and cooler). If you're interested, browse the littlekissrecords.com website, then contact James S. de Champlon at email@example.com or 515-4036.

Admission video wins gold medal
Posted April 18, 2003; 06:06 p.m.
"Beginnings," a 17-minute video produced last year for the Office of Admission, has been selected for a gold medal in the Council for Advancement and Support of Education's annual Circle of Excellence Awards Program.
The video, which was named in the "video recruitment features category," focuses on students as they embark on the Princeton experience. Drawing on conversations with students, faculty members and President Tilghman as she began her first year in office, it attempts to describe to potential applicants the nature and uniqueness of Princeton, and the kinds of experiences students have as they begin their college careers.
The video was produced by Andy Greenspan, who also produced the University's previous admission video in 1992 and a video on "defining moments" in Princeton's history in connection with the University's 250th anniversary. The production was coordinated by Vice President for Public Affairs Robert Durkee and Dean of Admission Fred Hargadon.
The video exists in VHS and DVD format, and is used by admission staff and alumni schools committee volunteers as they meet with potential applicants. It can be viewed in various formats on the admission office Web site. Copies of the DVDs are available for a nominal fee from Tom Bartus in the Office of Communications.
The Council for Advancement and Support of Education is the professional organization for advancement professionals who work in alumni relations, communications and development. Membership includes more than 3,000 colleges, universities and independent elementary and secondary schools in the United States, Canada, Mexico and 42 other countries.
