|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Neveda Caster,
Just got back. Conditions were very, very tough. I hired George Bradley who is considered by many to be the best guide on Ambergris Caye. I would have to agree. His ability to spot fish was second to none (spotted single fish at 200 ft). Very professional and stayed on the water an extra two hours on my first day due to the difficult conditions. Results (again keeping in mind how tough conditions were) 10 bones and a 70 ft follow from a large Permit that almost gave me a heart attack . Here's his contact info.
Phone: 001-501-226-2179

Ambergris Caye
I've been there 3 times. Since you're in the low season, you can pretty much pick and choose when you go out with a guide. Try to go when there is little wind. On the other days, walk, or rent a bike or golf cart, and work your way up the beach (north) You'll see plenty of bonefish, occasional permit and even tarpon.
I would appreciate the names of any good guides and a way of contacting them. I do not book in advance, just start calling them after I get there.
Tried to PM you contact information for me in Belize but your user profile won't let you receive PM's. Anyway, I'm David staying at Victoria House 31st - 6th. Look me up and I'll keep you posted on when I'm going out to hammer those Bones on my own . PM me your contact info if you want me to call you at Tropica.
Best of luck,
Hi Dave17,
Looks like we just up the road from you. We're staying at the Tropica. We got one day of fishing booked right now (Friday, the 4th). We'll get in the 2nd. Getting together sounds great.
I'll be on Ambergris Caye May 31st to June 6th staying at Victoria House. I have two guided days on the water booked right now, two days allocated to diving with my girlfriend and free days toward the end of the week. I was hoping to do some exploring without a guide those free days. Let me know if you want to get together to try and do some fishing on our own.
I fished with a very knowledgable man named Earl of Southern guide service out of Placencia: highly recommended!!
In all likelihood, your quarry will include permit and they can be emtremely hard to bring to a fly. It was for us, as the water was dead calm on a crystal clear day. If you are entirely new to flyfishing and this is a once in a lifetime trip, you may want to hedge your bets and include a spinning reel and some large (my guide suggested 4/0). supersharp hooks in your arsenal. We tried the fly for a long time without success, but I was thrilled to feel the power of a 15 lb. permit by any means. The time with the fly was certainly not wasted, as it revealed the areas of my technique where I have to bone up :hehe: (couldn't help myself)
The spinning reel may also afford you some opportunities to fish the deep side of the reef which you may not have otherwise.
Have a great trip!
Got back May 15th
I stayed at the Victoria House which is South of San Pedro. We were there 11 days and I have to say it was the best vacation I ever had. I fished 5 of the days and caught bonefish every day. Usually around 5 or 6 except for the last day. This was my first bone outing and I had a lot of shots but poor casting hurt my output except for the last day. I keep saying except the last day because my 5th day out everything clicked. I was hitting where I wanted, probably because I had practiced a lot and the wind was down. The last day I landed 19 bonefish and lost about 5. I had 3 good shots at permit but no luck. None of the fish were huge like you see in the Keys but they had enough to get me into the backing several times. I was throwing a seven and eight weight rod. The seven is plenty for the fish but the wind pushed me up to an eight.
My guide every day was great. George Bradley (email@example.com).
He was extremely helpful without being critical. He even coached my wife through a two bonefish day. She had not caught a fish on a fly rod to that date. I booked George through Victoria House the first 4 days but went direct the 5th day. George does not like to fish the San Pedro bay where most guides like to go. He says the water is too deep and they have you throwing at "muds" all day. George likes skinny water and took me to a place he said he hasn't seen another fisherman in 10 years. I believe him we went 45 mins north of San Pedro before we stopped. You will not be disappointed in George if you like to fly fish. He does spinning. George also is fond of his tied flies and rolled his nose up the the 300 I had tied for the trip. Oh well, I can say I didn't lose one of my flies so they will be good for the next trip.
If you need more email me with questions.
Fishing In Belize
Hello everyone
I'm going to Belize, Ambergris Caye, on June 2nd. Well be there for a week. The wife wants to do the scuba and snorkel thing, but I plan to fish at least a couple of days. Anyone got suggestions about flies, tackle, guides, etc.? Also, does anyone know it there are locations where I can wade the surf and fish without having to have a guide?
Im a newbie at fly fishing and this is my first saltwater experience .so any help would be greatly appreciated.

GM "Electric Car is Not Dead" Despite Mediocre Sales
Jason Mick
January 17, 2013 7:19 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Automaker looks ahead to Cadillac ELR, second-generation Volt
When it comes to sales General Motors Comp.'s (
) Chevy Volt has done modestly,
moving a couple thousands units
per month in good months. Compared to other entrants
such as the Nissan Leaf EV
from Nissan Motor Comp., Ltd. (
), whose sales number in the mere hundreds per month, that's not bad.
But sales have still been short of the hype that surrounded Volt, a car that was viewed by many as a "savior-car" of sorts for the automaker during its recession troubles. The Volt has suffered a 2011
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
investigation over battery fires
and more recently has been
rejected by some Chevy dealerships
over high tooling costs.
Still, GM is convinced that electric vehicles are a winning proposition. Wednesday night at the Automotive News World Conference GM's North America chief Mark Reuss boldly
, "The electric car is not dead... We couldn't be happier … with the Volt."
The Chevy Volt has seen several sales targets slip. In 2011 GM promised to sell 10,000 Volts, but only sold 7,700. In 2012 it predicted 45,000 units sold, but only moved 23,000. At times the Hamtramck Assembly Plant where the vehicle is assembled was idled.
GM is forging ahead, looking to fill the idle capacity at the Hamtramck Assembly Plant with orders of the new Cadillac ELR, which is essentially a luxury reskinned Volt. At the conference Mr. Reuss revealed that the plant would begin producing Cadillac ELRs before the end of the year.

He also teased at the upcoming second generation Volt design, which he claims "will be even better". He comments, "We'll get there. We will see the day when we have an affordable electric car that offers 300 miles of range with all the comfort and utility of a conventional vehicle. We're talking about a transformation here. And transformation takes time."
He admits that pricing needs to become more competitive, stating, "The rest of them will come around when technology advances electric vehicles to the point where they offer comparable performance at comparable prices."

The determination from the Detroit automaker runs counter to its previous approach from the 1990s, where it debuted the EV-1 only to bail, pulling the plug in 1999 after three years of poor sales. GM was oft villainized for that decision for much of the last decade; now it is celebrated by EV advocates as a key proponent of the advanced vehicle push.
The optimism also contrast sharply with the grim rhetoric of Nissan at the auto show. While Nissan is sticking with its LEAF EV, it's dropping the price (to $28,800 USD) and admitting that so far the project has been a flop. LEAF EV sales were essentially flat, up only 1.5 percent from 2011 to reach 9,819 units. Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn admitted this week; "It was a disappointment for us."
Others like Ford Motor Comp. (F) have been more restrained in their EV dive, but have
also suffered poor results
. Ford produced 1,627 2013 Ford Focus EVs, but only sold 685 (42 percent of the stock). Fiskar also suffered a rocky year with its Karma being
panned by reviewers as "overweight"
. The Karma also
suffered fire issues
leading to recalls and
320 of the pricey EVs
were destroyed when Hurricane Sandy hit.
Tesla Motor Comp. (
) also
saw slow sales for much of the year
, but like GM it also delivered a fair degree of good news,
becoming profitable again
late in the year, thanks to the
launch of the 2013 Model S
mid-range luxury electric sedan. The Model S was well received by reviewers who
gave it many awards
for its slick handling and performance.
The Detroit News
"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

TUPELO – Two Tupelo High School students have been deeply immersed in the world of boxing in the short six months since they first stepped into the ring.
Jose Ortega and Nelson Browning, both 17, began boxing in the Police Athletic League six months ago and have since been named the Mississippi Golden Gloves Champions of their weight and age classes.
The two went to the Golden Gloves Championship in Ocean Springs last month to get a bit of in-ring experience.
"I wanted to take them to Ocean Springs to give them a taste of what the Golden Gloves was about," said Grady Hurley, PAL boxing coach. "I don't know that I expected them to advance since it was their first fight, but they did what they did in training and had a lot of heart and advanced."
Advancing from the state Golden Gloves means the two will represent Mississippi in the regional tournament this week in Little Rock.
To prepare for the regional, Hurley took Ortega and Browning to Jackson, Tenn., for a match.
Ortega, a junior at Tupelo High School, opted to skip the prom in order to get more experience in Jackson.
Ortega competed in the 147-pound novice class and Browning in the 165-pound novice class. They each won their fight in Jackson, Tenn.
"They handed out four trophies among about 25 competitors, and Jose and Nelson each won outstanding boxer of the night trophies," Hurley said. "Jose won the trophy for having the best match of the night."
Browning said, since coming to the sport, he has enjoyed the work ethic it requires.
"Everything you do here in practice shows on Saturdays when you get in the ring," he said. "It's good to know you're going to win if you train hard enough."
Ortega agreed the hard work feels good.
"When you get done you're tired but that's how you know you did your work," he said. "The worst part, though, is doing the work."
The two will begin the regional Golden Gloves tournament in Little Rock on Thursday.
Hurley said he is working the two boxers extra hard this week since they will be competing against boxers who have probably had much more training.
"I'm pushing them and making them mad at me this week," Hurley said. "They're sparring three rounds and against a fresh guy every round. They look awesome for the amount of time I've had them and we're proud of them."
Two PAL boxers have advanced to the regional tournament in the past and Hurley said only one he knows of has advanced further.
Regional champions will compete in the national tournament in Salt Lake City.

In proposing the acquisition of these two early charcoal drawings in 1980, James Mollison AO, then Director of the National Gallery of Australia, wrote to Lee Krasner expressing his conviction that her drawings '… take us back to that critical moment in the history of the New York School—the late 1930s and early 1940s—when its radical aesthetic was first being formulated'.[1] Indeed, Krasner's early drawings, alongside those of Hans Hofmann and Jackson Pollock, represent the first seeds of what was to become the major American art movement of the twentieth century.
In the early 1930s Krasner regularly visited the Museum of Modern Art in New York to analyse, absorb and emulate the works of the European Modernists: de Chirico, Miró and Henri Matisse were among her favourites. During this period Krasner was also taking life drawing classes, under various instructors and producing studies of the nude in pencil, conté crayon, ink and charcoal. In 1937 Krasner enrolled at the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts and, for the first time, became seriously engaged with Cubism.
These charcoal drawings, both titled 'Nude study from life', were completed a year apart, in 1938 and 1939, during the morning session life drawing classes directed by Hofmann. By this stage in her study, Krasner had absorbed her lessons in Cubist space and was beginning to resent having to refer to at what was in front of her. The charcoal drawings reveal a deeper, kinaesthetic approach to her drawing project: Krasner is deliberately deforming the figure, recording the perceived tension, weight and motion of the body through several moments in time through her own, now exaggerated, mark-making. Combining sharp, resolute black lines with textured areas of scrubbed white erasures, the surface of the drawings are infused with the vigour of the artist's rapid gestures. It is precisely such palpable action that exposes Krasner's determined move beyond Cubism and into a new, unexplored territory of her own individual and expressive style.
In 1976 Krasner re-discovered this group of 1930s charcoal figure studies. Setting aside those that she wished to keep, she harvested the rest, cutting them up and using the pieces as collage material for the 1977 series of paintings Eleven ways to use the words. In discussing this process with writer John Bernard Myers, Krasner stated in 1984, 'They surprised me [the drawings] … I experienced the need not just to examine these drawings, but a peremptory desire to change them: a command as it were, to make them anew'.[2]. Critically and creatively revisiting and reusing these early works allowed the mature Krasner to assess her development as an artist and to propel her, once again, in a new direction.

It's a darn sidewalk! It costs nothing to keep it open yet $$ to close it. You can't tell me that is an essential service!
The guards are there to prevent vandalism. Two punks with spray paint and 5 minutes could easily do a couple of hundred thousand dollars worth of damage. There is no real reason for the Feds to have closed it!
its all being done for PUBLIC THEATER...the inference is the blame game,there are THOUSANDS of vets who would gladly donate their time to guard the monument, but the media spectacle generated by denying access to the monument is the real intent of the administration
Washington Monument Syndrome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search The Washington Monument syndrome, also known as the Mount Rushmore Syndrome,[1] or the firemen first principle,[2][3] is a political tactic used in the United States by government agencies when faced with budget cuts or a government shutdown. The tactic entails cutting the most visible or appreciated service provided by the government, from popular services such as national parks and libraries[1] to valued public employees such as teachers and firefighters.[2] This is done to gain support for tax increases that the public would otherwise be against. The name derives from the National Park Service's alleged habit of saying that any cuts would lead to an immediate closure of the wildly popular Washington Monument.[4] The National Review compared the tactic to hostage-taking or blackmail.[5]
Although the strategy usually intends to highlight the government's value to voters, it can also be aimed at lawmakers themselves. Faced with budget cuts in the 1970s, Amtrak announced plans to cease train routes in the home districts of several members of Congress.[2]
The term was first used after George Hartzog, the seventh director of the National Park Service, closed popular national parks such as the Washington Monument and Grand Canyon National Park for two days a week in 1969. In response to complaints, Congress eventually restored the funding, and Hartzog resigned.[6]
One of our local liberal TV stations was trying to do a thing on the closing of a national park and the impact. Again it is mostly open air. Funny that all they could get from people this morning at the closed gates was that it is never officially open at this hour and we go around the gates to go jogging every morning.
I am sure it is that and not a liability issue.
The Republicans want to shut down the government. Then they want to turn around and try and blame Obama for people's inconvenience. Pretty piss poor...
Conservatives think they found a new game. Instead of having to win the debate and win elections with their ideas, now they figure it's easier than that. Just defund the entire government. Then piecemeal add back in what you like with little continuing resolutions. Completely remake government by extortion. As my daughter used to say when she was little, easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Buzz do read your post before pushing send or should we rehash a few things that your party has done.

Binghamton University presentation to highlight Melocchi vocal technique
A presentation highlighting some of the world's finest recordings of voices trained under the Melocchi method will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, September 21, in room 170 of the Fine Arts building on the Binghamton University campus. The event is free and open to the public.
Titled "From Lion to Mouse; the Melocchi Method," the presentation will feature recordings from the University's Frances R. Conole Archives, which is devoted to the preservation of 20th century vocal art recorded over the last 90 years. Recordings to be highlighted include those of famous singers such as Mario Del Monaco, who started off with a 'small voice', but through the radical Melocchi technique were able to expand his sound with remarkable results.
Tom MacDonald from the Binghamton Bel Canto Society will lead the discussion. For more information, contact MacDonald at 607-724-8250

Submission + - AMD outlines plans for Zen-based processors, first due in 2016
crookedvulture writes: AMD laid out its plans for processors based on its all-new Zen microarchitecture today, promising 40% higher performance-per-clock from from the x86 CPU core. Zen will use simultaneous multithreading to execute two threads per core, and it will be built using "3D" FinFETs. The first chips are due to hit high-end desktops and servers next year. In 2017, Zen will combine with integrated graphics in smaller APUs designed for desktops and notebooks. AMD also plans to produce a high-performance server APU with a "transformational memory architecture" likely similar to the on-package DRAM being developed for the company's discrete graphics processors. This chip could give AMD a credible challenger in the HPC and supercomputing markets—and it could also make its way into laptops and desktops.

Pro: These headphones are super comfortable and lightweight. Con: Though they do come with 3 different sized buds to fit your ears, when the buds are not pushed all the ways in the ear the sound quality is poor. When you push them all the ways in, the sound quality is great. However, for me, the buds will not stay in and as they come out of my ear the sound quality decreases causing me to have to push them back in every few minutes.

I known that I am a NEWBIE on here, but not new to callmaking.
Here a few pictures of carved hunting calls with a history dating back to the mid 50's. Back when Tom Turpin was making calls in Memphis, a local callmaker at Rosedale, Ms. by the name of Stribling was making hunting calls for new turkey hunters up and down the Ms. River. He sold them out of his Otasco store in Rosedale, Ms. These call are written up in East of the Slash by Wade S. Wineman Jr. Wade and I have been friends for 30 years and I have been making these hunting calls for 25 years. We use these calls in the hugh bottomland between the levee's. The advantage that this call has is that is extremely loud, but can make the softest tree calls. They are tuned raspy. I make one in a gobbling model with a mature gobble, and the other a cuttin and cackling model.
The call on the hugh 21 lb. , 11 inch beard, 1 1/2 inch spurred bird is a call that I made in 1987 and the bird was killed this past spring. It is a cutting and cackling model, walnut/mahogany. The other two calls were made this past year for a friend of my son in Jackson, Ms. and representative of the calls I make. The one with the notch is a Gator Gobbling Stribling that has a mahogany box and cherry lid. The other call is cuttin and cackling box in walnut with a mahogany lid.

Honestly I think I would have to put Kasen Williams of Washington at the top of the list here.
He's got the full NFL package. He can finish like Davante Parker but he's stronger, has quicker feet, more explosive, and he's a vicious run blocker.

Twitter: @ckparrot
I wouldn't. Broken leg and Lisfranc aside, he's a little too similar to Chris Harper when he came out of Kansas St. Devante Parker is more similar to Aaron Dobson, who was a better prospect in my opinion. We're typically going to be on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to certain positions. Wide receiver is usually one of 'em.
I'd be interested in getting multiple opinions on this, but I'll direct the question to you Slimm:
When analyzing players, where is the breaking point where players with special talent but also with inadequacies rate higher than players who are solid across the board? I ask this with two players in mind - one from this list, one from the 2013 draft. Ty Montgomery and Cordarrelle Patterson. As the setup implies, I don't view Montgomery as a rare talent in the class of Patterson. I do, though, view his combination of size and explosiveness (especially with the ball in his hands). I ask this, remembering that Patterson was your #1 WR of the 2013 draft. I know CK was very high on him too. I also had him as the #1 WR.
So whether on paper or in your head (whether conscious or instinctual), do you have a model where you adjust your expectations of a player with special traits because of weaknesses, and if so, where does the rubber meet the road?
It's early in the process for me, but I have Montgomery rated closer to the top, because I think his special traits give him a better chance to succeed at the next level than the more-rounded traits of some of the players you're currently ranking ahead of him. Of course, I could be overrated his special traits. Always the possibility of that.
For me there's a clear distinction between a special talent and a special skillset. They're two different things.
A talent is innate or God given, however you choose to view it. A skillset is honed and developed. I always referred to Cordarrelle Patterson as a special talent. Anytime a player has a special talent, it's usually blatently obvious to even an untrained eye. This player stands out. I don't necessarily mean he stands out as one of the best players in the stadium on that particular day. This player stands out among all players that you've ever watched.
You'll know it immediately... he'll trigger that instinct within you that tells you that he's doing things athletically that you don't see often when you watch a lot of football. In football, it's typically fairly simple... an explosive quality and/or insane change of direction. On the other hand, feats of strength or concentration can often be deceiving. For a receiver, talent is what he does with the ball in his hands. Skillset is what he does prior to that. You can take these to the bank. Calvin Johnson was a special talent. Julio Jones was a special talent.
I'm not really sure how to answer your question regarding a breaking point between special talent with inadequacies and players that are solid across the board. The best way I can answer that is this.. all players have inadequacies somewhere. But not all have special talent. Which is why a special talent should rate higher. A solid player without special talent can outproduce a special talent because of what I mentioned before...a special skillset. Although that still doesn't make him a special talent. A.J. Green had a better skillset than Julio, but Julio was a more special talent physically. Wes Welker has a special skillset, but nowhere near a special talent.
Another example, Sammy Watkins was the only special talent that I saw at the WR position this year. But I saw many with special skillsets. Marqise Lee has a special skillset... smoothness and route running. But again, he's not a special talent.
I don't know that I would consider Ty Montgomery a special talent. Although I would agree that he has special traits for a receiver that size, which puts him in a category that is in the top percentile for an NFL wide receiver prospect. But he's not a 1% ("1 percenter"). He's good enough for top 10 on my board of Senior wide receivers. But I view my top prospect on this list (Parker) as a 2nd rounder in the mold of an Aaron Dobson. The underclassman are where I currently believe the special talent lies.
I hope I answered your question somewhat. If not let me know.
Jordan Taylor is another senior wide receiver to watch out for next year. Caught my attention in 2012 trying to sift through tape on Vance McDonald, Luke Wilson and Sam McGuffie. Really amazing some of the hidden talent a little program like Rice had at the skill positions on that 2012 team.
Taylor is more than just an inordinately tall (between 6'4" and 6'5") receiver with good hands. He has enough speed, I'd say he's in the 4.5's based on what I've seen. He performs legitimately athletic feats in addition to having some pretty damn good hands. That would probably be what separates him from someone like for example a Derek Moye who is still kicking around the NFL. Moye was inordinately sized, could run for that size, could catch the football, but I'm not sure I ever saw legitimately impressive athletic feats or catches. I saw good routes out of him and a nice never-quit attitude, which is why Moye is probably still kicking around the league.
But with Jordan you also have legitimately impressive athletic feats, and it all makes for a nice combination.
Here's his game against Texas A&M. I thought Odell Beckham looked pretty uninteresting against this same TAMU defense. And this wasn't a one-off for Taylor. As I said he was standing out even when you're trying to look at guys like Vance McDonald and Sam McGuffie in 2012.
And here's another nice example of the kinds of plays from 2012 that drew me to him (fast-forward to 1:14 if it doesn't take you there automatically):
Really an incredible finish on a play where he was being blatantly interfered with. Plays like that always catch my eye. If you can deal with flagged pass interference and still finish the catch, that translates well to the increased physicality of the NFL game.
Some more work from Jordan Taylor in 2013 just for reference:

I liked Chris Harper coming out as a mid round kind of guy. Just opening up the spreadsheet where I had my board from back then, I had him as a Day 3 target. I had the likes of Stedman Bailey, Markus Wheaton, Quinton Patton, Justin Hunter and Marquise Goodwin as potential Day 2 targets at the position, and I also had Da'Rick Rogers and Marquess Wilson as Day 3 targets I'd have prioritized above Chris Harper. I liked Harper enough to prioritize and target him, which is more than I could say about a whole bunch of receivers from that year, including Aaron Dobson.
It's a long way to the 2015 draft and therefore it's not the time for definitive statements. However, I don't see where the Kasen Williams = Chris Harper comparison comes from. I think if any player compares to Harper a little bit it's probably Antwan Goodley, whom I also like.
I imagine Kasen Williams is going to grade out higher than Chris Harper because he's athletically more explosive. That was probably Harper's biggest issue. Williams also finishes catches better than Harper.
I think the thing Kasen and Harper share is being a little bit at the mercy of their offense and quarterbacks. The Huskies ran the football on an amazing 60% of downs last year. Luckily their quarterbacks completed about 65 percent of their passes, but not so lucky are the injury issues Slimm mentioned with Kasen, who only played in 7 games before taking a bow in his 8th.
I'm kind of impressed with the skill position of Washington. Kevin Smith and Jaydon Mickens are impressive, and of course they had Austin Seferian-Jenkins. Through the 7 games Kasen played fully healthy, Smith was actually beating Kasen with 459 yards and 3 TDs to Kasen's 400 yards and 1 TD. And Mickens wasn't far behind at 362 yards and 2 TDs. They really spread the football around.
But you talk about guys with incredible ability, I think Kasen Williams stands out that way. Watch his game against Stanford. He's #2.
You evaluate the basic skill set and he works the perimeter like Brian Hartline, except he runs really well after the catch, finishes contested catches and shows innate physicality and strength that Hartline would never show in a million years.
Heck of a play right here (11:04):
And here (11:40):
Both of those at the most critical time of the game, too.
I love the way you two can discuss or debate an issue without just throwing out statements like "he sucks" and how you at least have some info to support why you like or dislike a player.
I think there may literally not be a person outside the NFL whose opinions on draft prospects I respect more than Slimm's, so I try and toe a fine line when it comes to disagreement versus disrespect.
kasen williams is a better prospect than chris harper...more explosive more burst murderous downfield blocker...just more quick twitch and dynamic...i don't know how the injuries will play out draft wise or how much they will effect how his game looks this year but williams game transfers much better to the pros...i was really looking forward to seeing williams play in 2013 after what i saw from him prior...
different level prospect than harper tools wise...
if parker has burst out of his cuts and comes out of them well that will separate him from dobson in some regards...dobsons just so meh out of his cuts...2 years ago parker looked more like a red zone mismatch than complete wr to me but i saw some growth in 2013...most of my time this last season was spent enjoying bridgewaters spot on presnap reads and decision making with the football...parkers more of a mismatch in the red zone than dobson too...but parts of parkers game are still raw
i don't see special talent in ty montgomery...

Volcanized rubber
wowowow. great quality boot! I have really small feet and made the mistake before of buying from the kids section. Sorel is different, same quality boot as adults just for smaller feet.
hate tromping through slush puddles when I step out of my car. And found that this is an all season boot, the liner is removable and has vulcanized rubber so you know your feet will be warm and dry.I was having trouble figuring out weather to buy this boot or the boys caribou. It was a tough decision since these are insulated but I had to go with the caribou only because it had laces. They also make a stylish women's rain boot called the sorrellington.
If I were buying these for kids and not myself they would be great! easy to get on and off, they clean easily, and you know nothing beats the quality of sorel for outdoor performance boots. A great buy and long lasting investment.

Hi We are going skiing at the end of March...
We are going skiing at the end of March in Colorado. We are from Miami. I have 2 boys that need snow boots size 5 or 6. What do you have?
This is more of a rain boot. Probably not too great for ski weather. But we do have a few size 5's available right now.

Thread: Hello! I'm back into fishies..
Hello! I'm back into fishies..
Over the years we've mostly cattered to Lake Malawi cichlids. But, I gave away the setup, traveled and life moved on. We came back to our home state permantly and my hubby ventured back into fish, but my passion was gone for them. When I heard my sister wanted her go at it, I gave her our fish (pleco and don't remember the rest) and closed down the tank to use as my daughters hamster castle... I know I know... well, my sister bought a beautuful mission style stand and 29g tank. She stocked it with a tiger barb, koi colored angelfish and killed everything else but my pleco, lol. 2 kids later, and the tank was handed over to me. I groaned as my husband clapped in excitement. The angel was missing fins from the barb and at night I heard the pleco having a go at it. Nothing in the tank was interactive or compatible (except for the pleco)! Angelfish is hiding in the corner, the barb was dominating and the pleco didn't care to be stared at *groan*. As my hubby traveled around for his job, (shame me if you will) I left the perameters on the tank unchecked and uncleaned. Woke up to a dead barb and a dead 6 year old pleco (who was quite beautiful). Boo! My 8 year old daughter was very excited about a replacement (I was not). We decided to make it a learning tool. We have ventured into breeding Mollies and Swordtails. We are teaching our daughter about water chemistry as well! I don't know if it was the sparkle in my daughters eyes as she marveled at the pregnant fish, but my passion has suddenly snapped back and I have totally taken over :) Although 2 fish needlessly died, it seemed to solve all my angels problems. I am happy to say he is out of hiding and begging with the livebearers. He doesn't seem to notice he's twice there size either ha. His fins are growing back (who would have known he had orange tipped fins?) and he's stolen my heart.
Now all I need is great people from the forum to help keep the fry alive when they come. A learning experience for the whole family!

Gibraltar Population: 29,111
|« Previous Country | Next Country »
|Strategically important, Gibraltar was reluctantly ceded to Great Britain by Spain in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht; the British garrison was formally declared a colony in 1830. In a referendum held in 1967, Gibraltarians voted overwhelmingly to remain a British dependency. The subsequent granting of autonomy in 1969 by the UK led to Spain closing the border and severing all communication links. Between 1997 and 2002, the UK and Spain held a series of talks on establishing temporary joint sovereignty over Gibraltar. In response to these talks, the Gibraltar Government called a referendum in late 2002 in which the majority of citizens voted overwhelmingly against any sharing of sovereignty with Spain. Since late 2004, Spain, the UK, and Gibraltar have held tripartite talks with the aim of cooperatively resolving problems that affect the local population, and work continues on cooperation agreements in areas such as taxation and financial services; communications and maritime security; policy, legal and customs services; environmental protection; and education and visa services. Throughout 2009, a dispute over Gibraltar's claim to territorial waters extending out three miles gave rise to periodic non-violent maritime confrontations between Spanish and UK naval patrols. A new noncolonial constitution came into effect in 2007, and the European Court of First Instance recognized Gibraltar's right to regulate its own tax regime in December 2008. The UK retains responsibility for defense, foreign relations, internal security, and financial stability.

Self-sufficient Gibraltar benefits from an extensive shipping trade, offshore banking, and its position as an international conference center. Tax rates are low to attract foreign investment. The British military presence has been sharply reduced and now contributes about 7% to the local economy, compared with 60% in 1984. The financial sector, tourism (almost 5 million visitors in 1998), gaming revenues, shipping services fees, and duties on consumer goods also generate revenue. The financial sector, tourism, and the shipping sector contribute 30%, 30%, and 25%, respectively, of GDP. Telecommunications, e-commerce, and e-gaming account for the remaining 15%. In recent years, Gibraltar has seen major structural change from a public to a private sector economy, but changes in government spending still have a major impact on the level of employment.

Rampage with Sam Witwicky as Prisoner (Human Nemesis Line)
Sideways with Alice driver (Isabel Lucas) (Human Nemesis Line) and her Cybertronian form.
A Legends Ravage perhaps packed in - maybe even with a HN scaled Soundwave.
Scrapper - with an EU robot form and maybe another version of Lennox packed in.
I'm looking for movie DECEPTICONS in a scale do-able for this Alternator-substitute sized BayFormer line.
Michael Bay is awesome!
JediTricks pointed out that a characteristic of the line is the human figure interacts with the Cybertronian in 'bot mode.
Well, the bots could have prisoner cages for the good-guy human characters. Rampage was actually shown with his in the movie.
Ravage could launch out of Soundwave.
Alice is fine interacting with Sideways because they're both Decepticons like Frenzy and Barricade are.

Gonzaga takes early lead in WCC with win over BYU
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Gonzaga University women's basketball team defeated BYU 74-59 Thursday night at the McCarthey Athletic Center in an important West Coast Conference game. The Zags, who came into the game with a loss in league already; dealt the Cougars their first loss in conference. Gonzaga is now 14-5 overall and 4-1 in the WCC, while BYU is 12-5 overall and 3-1 in conference.Gonzaga takes early lead in WCC with win over BYU
Saint Mary's College, who defeated Gonzaga Jan. 10 by three points, fell to the University of San Diego 73-70 Thursday – its first loss in league - to make a three-way tie for first in the West Coast Conference.
"In the end today is just one game, but it was an important win for a lot of reasons," explained Bulldog head coach Kelly Graves after the victory. "To defeat one of the better teams in the conference the way we did definitely helped our psyche."
Gonzaga had four of its five starters finish in double-figure points and was led by the tandem post play of sophomore Sunny Greinacher and redshirt freshman Shelby Cheslek. Greinacher tallied a career-high 17 points, while Cheslek also recorded a career-high in points with 16. She added eight boards, five assists and three blocks.
Cheslek did not only excel on the floor with her offensive output she also held BYU's leading scorer Jennifer Hamson to two points on 1-of-4 shooting. Hamson, a 6-7 center, was averaging 13.0 points per game heading into the contest with the Bulldogs.
"Sunny and Shelby were huge for us," stated Graves. "They did a great job; not only in shutting down arguable their best player, but also for scoring. We haven't had those kind of inside baskets much at all this year. To do it tonight against a really good front line like BYU, I think shows that we are getting better."
Greinacher and Cheslek combined for 15-of-22 from the floor and 20 of Gonzaga's 26 points in the paint.
Also reaching double-digits was senior Taelor Karr with 15 and junior Haiden Palmer with 11.
Gonzaga came out of the gates flying, running out to a 10-0 advantage three minutes into the contest. The Bulldogs hit 5-of-7 in the opening three minutes and forced the Cougars to turn the ball over three times and miss the two shots they attempted.
BYU's first points came at the 14:33 mark on two made free throws by Haley Steed to cut GU's edge to 10-2 and its first field goal did not come until the 13:42 mark when Steed drained the first of four 3-pointers on the night to make GU's advantage 15-5.
The Bulldogs kept their lead in double-digits for the remainder of the half and went into the locker room with a first-half high 18-point advantage after sophomore Keani Albanez nailed a 3-pointer to put the score at 37-19.
Gonzaga finished the stanza hitting 51.7 percent (15-of-29) from the field and forced BYU to turn the ball over 11 times and scored 11 points off those miscues.
A 13-4 run to open the second half gave the Zags their largest lead of the contest at 27 points – 50-23 – with 16:25 left. Greinacher and Cheslek combined for nine of the 13 points.
BYU mounted a very impressive comeback though. After Greinahcer hit a jumper to give Gonzaga its 27 point lead, the Cougars rattled off a 17-0 run to slice the Zags edge to just 10 points with 11:27 to play. Steed was the catalyst for BYU draining two 3-pointers and assisting on two other baskets.
Gonzaga finally stopped the run with a layup by Cheslek but a 6-3 spurt, capped off by another deep Steed 3-pointer, had GU's advantage in single digits – 55-46 – for the first time since three minutes into the game.
Sharpshooter Meghan Winters turned the tides with a 3-pointer of her own on the next Gonzaga possession which pushed the lead back to 12 points.
GU got their advantage to 17 with 4:43 to play after junior Jazmine Redmon hit a 3-pointer and Greinacher nailed a jumper.
"I told the team that I was really proud of them for the way that they handled BYU's comeback," said Graves. "They made it a tight ballgame down the stretch and we responded. Good teams always makes run, and BYU is a good team and made a run, but good teams also answer and we answered it tonight."
The closest the Cougars got down the stretch was 12 points.
BYU was led by Steed and Morgan Bailey who both scored 18 points.
Gonzaga now travels to California to battle San Diego on Saturday. The Bulldogs third game in six days is set for 2 p.m.

Steamboat Springs Low temperatures across the country are driving up prices for propane.
A late corn harvest in the Midwest, which uses propane heat to dry the crop, and severe winter weather are creating demand felt in other regions.
The prices of residential propane per gallon rose precipitously in late January in the Midwest region, drawing reserves from regions such as the Rocky Mountains.
Colorado Propane Gas Association Executive Director Baron Glassgow told The Denver Post that the region was served by the same points as the Midwest.
The price of residential propane per gallon Tuesday was $3.80 at Ferrellgas in Steamboat Springs.
Simon Bowman, of UGI Corp., wrote in an email that he couldn't comment on the price of propane at AmeriGas' location in Craig.
Bowman listed three factors driving higher propane prices across the 2 million customers AmeriGas services nationwide: a 60 percent increase in wholesale prices, increased transportation costs and higher demand because of cold temperatures.
"We are currently rationing deliveries to customers in a select few service territories," he wrote.

By The Associated Press
OXFORD — The Oxford Board of Aldermen expects to get a first look at a proposed traffic control ordinance when it meets April 16.
The board this week asked the Oxford Pathways Commission to come up with a traffic calming policy for the city.
The Oxford Eagle reports that Assistant City Engineer Reanna Mayoral has presented a draft proposal to the Pathways Commission for consideration when it meets in April.
Mayoral said the draft outlines a process people will to get their streets considered for traffic calming measures, such as speed bumps, and how the city will determine what, if anything, should be done.
Only local, neighborhood roads will be considered — not main thoroughfares.
Mayoral said some neighborhoods are concerned with the volume of vehicles on their roads. To be considered a problem, a street will need to have a minimum of 1,000 vehicles per day to be eligible for traffic calming.
For neighborhoods that are concerned about speeders, she said it must be determined that 85 percent of users on the road are exceeding the established speed limit by at least 7 mph.
The Public Works Department will conduct traffic studies to determine the speed and volume on each road. If a valid traffic issue is found. Public Works will deal with each road on a first-come basis.
"We felt it was the fairest way to deal with it," Mayoral said. "There's no way we could track which street came to a city official first. Some have been trying to get this done for several years. Filling out the application is a good way to start over and go from there. It gives us a formal process."
Mayoral said initially the city will deal with problems with radar speed trailer deployments, traffic enforcement actions, traffic signing and pavement markers, curb extensions and chokers and traffic circles.
If that doesn't work, she said, the city may install speed humps, median entry/exit islands and one-way chokers, half closures or semi-diverters.

Some interesting stories along the garden path of my day:
- Marc Bousquet, proprieter of the must-read-blog How the University Works, highlights some key points from the recent and sensible survey of the problems of the Academic Labor Market from Scientific American. Basic lesson? "The real crisis in American science education,… is a distorted job market's inability to provide [young scientists] careers worthy of their abilities."
- A funny and insightful comparison of the conferences of International Studies and Anthropology leads ethnography.com to announce that they like Anthropologists more than International Studies folks. Let the battles begin!
- In spite of all the stupid red-baiting, the red herrings (like his native identity), and the generally hateful attitude toward Churchill in the press, both the ACLU and the AAUP (that's the professor's union, folks) have issued formal statements in support of him, and his quest to be returned to his job and position.

think it's a legitimate hypothesis. If you look at baseball, for instance, the countries where baseball is most popular are the countries that were under the US's sphere of influence (Latin America, Japan). When soccer spread in popularity, the Brits ruled or had a sphere of influence over most of the world.
ETA: IMO, The US would be a soccer nation if we had become independent in the 20th century.
Based on the evidence, it seems far more likely that we would be a "Cricket" nation (although probably not because Cricket sucks). In fact, it seems that in comparison to other countries, soccer isn't nearly as popular in British colonies.
so why didn't games like that come to the colonies and develop rules/adopt rules in the 1800s
How did other sports take root in the "states", and it take so long for soccer to catch on?
The same way soccer became huge in Europe- barnstorming teams going on tours to promote the game. Locals see it and want to play too
Baseball sucks balls for any person with some semblance of intelligence
Run of the mill shipyardmen, construction workers, engineers, etc., played it during their free time. shite spread like wildfire, and obviously they told those they were in contact with, of the officialization activities of the infant sport on the isles.
quote:Nothing backhanded about it. Definitely on the up and up.
Cause it was a backhanded compliment.
Good comment, except for the cricket sucks comment, unless you´ve extensively played, that´s pretty lame. Baseball sucks balls for any person with some semblance of intelligence, but you must admit, it is fun to play.
Those are really authentic Portuguese, Basque and Spanish names. The British really had a minimal role in spreading football .
It never really took off in some British directly controlled colonies, but other British games did (i.e. rugby in Australia, New Zealand; cricket in South Asia).
Great to play, boring as hell to watch.

The Recording Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., recently hosted a visit from alternative-pop group Neon Trees for an installment of 5 Questions With … . The group stopped by to discuss their biggest career moments, hearing their debut single "Animal" on the radio for the first time, the influence of social media, songwriting, and how the group came to be.
"If you act too cool during the process, then you miss a lot of the great genuine moments," said frontman Tyler Glenn, reflecting on the band's biggest career moments. "I'm really glad that we've paused a lot to be thankful and grateful. We're never too cool to say hello to a fan or to play a show, and I think that's important to us."Formed in Provo, Utah, Neon Trees includes vocalist/keyboardist Glenn, guitarist Chris Allen, drummer/vocalist Elaine Bradley, and bassist Branden Campbell. In 2008 they signed with Mercury Records and toured North America as the opening act for the Killers. Currently on tour opening for My Chemical Romance, Neon Trees are scheduled to perform at several festivals, including Coachella in Indo, Calif., in April; SunFest in West Palm Beach, Fla., in May; and Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tenn., in June. Their debut album, Habits, was released in 2010 and featured the hit "Animal," which peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band's name was reportedly inspired by the neon-lit palm trees displayed on signs at fast food chain In-N-Out Burger.

NCDs are striking poorer, younger populations, and this could debilitate states and the global economy. The best way for the West to help is by pushing for governance reform.

The BMF, AT-TE, Turbo Tank, Slave I, and AT-AT all have extra features that are revealed by opening them up and stocking them full of figures. I've filled my AT-AT and AT-TE to capacity, though I've yet to do the same with my BMF. Yet in all 3 of my large vehicles, once filled, I then close them up and display them hiding dozens of figures within, like they're the secret cream filling in the awesome cake that are these large vehicles. That got me wondering if anybody here displays their large vehicles open showing off all the extra stuff going on, or if you all are like me and fill 'em, then close 'em.
So, does anybody display their large vehicles open?
