Thread: New to fish raising!
Betta is not a shoaling species. The only time a betta is interested in another betta is when it wants to mate. Despite what you may get told in the shop and read online these are tropical fish that need a filter and a heater. So, yes, please do cycle and please do get a heater if you don't own one yet (50 watts is more than enough)
If you think the tank looks bare you can always try a few shrimp (red cherrie for example) or some ornamental snails like nerite.
Oh, and well done on this decision!My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

Absolutely a betta can be alone - it's preferable to keep a betta in its own tank because they don't always make a good community tank member.
Your size tank is too small for 2 bettas anyway (recommended space for a betta is minimum of 5 gal) - it's perfect for 1!

Of course no hahaha. I'll return the fish. Buy whatever I need to start the cycling and then when I'm done, I'll get the Betta fish =D
Many thanks! that was quite helpful! :)
It will be fun, enjoy, and a tank that small should be easy to cycle too
Maha thank you for asking for advice and, on top of that, taking the advice you've been given. You will find that you will be much happier with a happy and healthy fish aquarium.

Again, the tank's filter is not cycled so the Betta will suffer. Best to cycle the filter using a fishless method as all are saying. You you must have a fish, then read the cycling with fish and except daily and near 100% water changes for three to six weeks - this method is not for the faint of heart.
Once cycled, male Betta's absoultly MUST be alone relative to other males; male Betta's kill other males Betta's. Even a female can not remain with a male. It is possible to have a mixed aquarium with Betta's but their temp and water conditions must match. Others can tell you more.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

One thing you could do if you want to keep more Betta's, is to buy female's. Breeders have come up with some beutiful strains for these. Their finnage will never be as pronounced as the males but they now come in a great choice of colors. They can still be waspish with each other but not to the extend of the males.
Just a thought.Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

See my profile for my tanks and what fish I keep
With Bettas, you always need to have a plan B.
Two males isn't going to work, ever.
A male and a female may work, or it might not.
Two females doesn't work more often than it does...
Six or more females works more frequently, but you have to always been ready for one to go rogue and kill the others.
And it can happen fast... your happy sorority tank can become thunderdrome while you sleep. Having plenty of hiding spots is vital.
And since most people eventually become unhappy with an aquarium with only one fish in it...
If you are considering adding a Betta with other tropical fish, it is vital that you add the other fish first. The Betta will claim territory... if he is the only fish that territory will be the whole tank. Larger tanks can be broken up with moving the decorations around... small tanks cannot as much.
Avoid colorful, longfinned species. They remind Bettas of Bettas. I have one in a 40gallon with some Neons and Harley Rasboras. He isn't always happy with the Neon schools, but he isn't fast enough to do anything about it either.
Be careful of the reverse... the Betta being harrassed. They have long fins that are just too attractive to some fin nippers to avoid. Barbs are notorious, but sometimes even "peaceful" tetras channel their inner piranha.

The fact is, W and his republican congress contributed approximately 5 Trillion dollars to the national debt in 6 years. Mr. Bush and the do-nothing democratic congress added another 1.5 trillion in his last two years, rubber-stamping his submitted budgets.

You want to get the facts straight. What does all of this deficit spending turn into to? Debt!
When Bush took office, the national debt was $5.73 trillion. When he left, it was $10.7 trillion.
This indicates that Bush inherited $5.73 in debt from Clinton and the previous administrations.
Now Obama is already indicating that it will be above $12 trillion before the end of the his first year and according to you he has not even tried to spend any money.
The funny thing about you libs is you always throw out the statement that Bush increased the debt / deficit but then act like it is OK for Obama to increase the same items.
I bet you can not find one conservative on this board that agreed with Bush's spending but just about all of you libs think Obama's spending is right on the money.
Talk to me in 3 more years when Obama is just about washed up and we are 15 trillion dollars in debt with and no decrease in deficit spending.
Secondly, I stated in my post that Obama will likely set records in regards to deficit spending. So us "libs" can self-critique. After seeing how Bush trashed our economy and respect around the world with his failed policies, I'm amused and a little scared to see the Coulter/Rush disciples defend him to the bone, and try to lay his puppy all in Obama's lap!
As for what Bush II inherited from Clinton, check the graph I posted. That is very telling, with both the whitehouse and congress depicted. So look at that and try to tell me (with a straight face) that the republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility!
You may not choose to believe it, and frankly I don't care, but I used to be a rather staunch republican. That is, until I saw how the new breed of corporate, hyper-rich, war-mongering neocons hijacked the traditional republican party, and pushed everyone from moderate to hard-right conservatives out, leaving only the extreme-radical Christian right in control. You may think I'm a crank for saying that, but there's a WHOLE lot of folks in the boat with me, ergo President Obama and a supermajority of democrats in congress. I'm quite sure the dems will screw it up, and the pendulum will swing back. I just hope it pauses long enough for some independents to fix things up before that happens.
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
Your right about one thing when people start throwing out the phrase christian right and being in control I think you are way out in left field.
Last I heard the far left was claiming the Bush admin was being run by "the jews / zionists.
I have always considered Bush 1 and 2 as moderates.
I guess Christians are real scary maybe thats why the Dems pandered so much to them this time around.
1) He knew how to be CIC, and define a mission prior to going to war.
2) He listened to his advisors and Generals (not just 'yes-men')
3) He knew the importance of building a coalition of real participants
4) He maybe understood the importance of 1-3 because he actually served his country in combat, and fought along fellow soldiers and airmen, and came home and built his companies successfully.
Bush I.....an honorable, respectable, moderate republican President.
Bush II...able to correctly pronounce big words some of the time

In a city of millions, GM feels detached
If you couldn't find General Motors at the New York show, you wouldn't have been alone.
Tucked away, a long walk from the action of the main hall, was GM's exhibit space. All of its brands were in one place, but nowhere near all of the other brands in New York.
And for much of Wednesday there wasn't a lot of foot traffic.
What gives about the exclusivity?
It seems to be a product of the decision made by GM two years ago -- during more modest times -- to move into a separate hall.
On the main show day -- with the major launch of the revamped Impala -- it really placed GM far from the action.
Privately, GM executives complained about the location and are seeking a change.
But next year the Javits Center is undergoing a renovation and GM might not have the option to move.
Said one GM exec: "We've got great stuff! We'd love to have more people see our product."

Hey guys! Hope everyone has a great spring season! I was having a discussion with a buddy in Tennessee the other day about spring turkey hunting in the snow and in the hills/mountains. When he asked me if I hunted in the snow, I said absolutely! He went on to tell me that he didn't think turkey would move around in the snow, especially if it was real deep. Now, I have seen turkey in snow that is about 3 or 4 inches deep. So...my first question is this: How deep of snow have you ever seen turkey?
Next. We then began to talk about elevation, degree of climbing etc. Again, my friend didn't think that turkey would feed, mate, etc on the side of a hill at an angle. I told him that I have seen them in my area on angles of up to 30 degrees. He didn't believe me but regardless I have! So...my second question: Have you observed turkey on inclines and hillsides or just on more flat areas?
Thanks for the replies!

Davall named public safety deputy director of operations
Posted January 6, 2005; 12:00 a.m.
Charles Davall, the Princeton Borough chief of police, has been named deputy director of operations for Princeton University's Department of Public Safety.
Davall will be responsible for public safety's day-to-day operations and will focus on strengthening the department's problem-solving skills, community partnerships and staff development, according to Director of Public Safety Steven Healy. His appointment is effective Feb. 7.
"As we continue to enhance the level of services we provide, Chief Davall will serve as an excellent mentor for our staff members. His 25 years of service with the Princeton Borough Police Department provide valuable expertise in running the operations of a public safety department," Healy said.
"Chief Davall has considerable experience not only in our local community, but in state law enforcement as well. He has been actively involved in the county and state police chiefs' associations, so he can help us to further develop services to provide for the campus community," he added. "We underwent an extensive search process for this position, with more than 100 applicants with a range of campus and municipal policing experience, and we were fortunate to have an excellent candidate in our own backyard."
"The Princeton campus community has been important part of my life for many years," Davall said. "I have enjoyed my years of service with Princeton Borough, and I'm excited about making this change to join the University's Department of Public Safety. I value Chief Healy's vision for the department and his leadership. I believe this is a great opportunity to come here and lend my experience to benefit the campus community."
Davall will retire from the position of Princeton Borough's chief of police, which he has held since July 2001. He has served in a variety of positions since joining that department as a patrol officer in 1980. A graduate of Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, Davall holds a master's degree in criminal justice from New Jersey City University.

Standard ileostomy and your child; Brooke ileostomy and your child; Continent ileostomy and your child; Abdominal pouch and your child; End ileostomy and your child; Ostomy and your child
Your child had an injury or disease in their digestive system and needed an operation called an ileostomy. The operation changed the way your child's body gets rid of waste (stool, feces, or poop).
Now your child has an opening called a stoma in their belly. Waste will pass through the stoma into a pouch that collects it. You and your child will need to take care of the stoma and empty the pouch many times a day.
Seeing your child's ileostomy for the first time may be difficult. Many parents feel guilty or that it is their fault when their children get ill and need this operation.
Parents also worry about how their child will be accepted now and later in life.
This is a difficult transition. But, if you are relaxed and positive about your child's ileostomy from the beginning, your child will have a much easier time with it. Talking with friends, family members, or a mental health counselor may help you.
Your child will need help and support. Begin by having them help you empty and change their pouch. After time, older children will be able to gather supplies and change and empty their own pouch. Even a young child can learn to empty the pouch by themselves.
Be prepared for some trial and error in taking care of your child's ileostomy.
See also: Ileostomy - caring for your stoma
It is normal to have some problems with your child's ileostomy. Some common ones are:
Help your child understand how important it is take good care of their ileostomy and to clean up the bathroom after ileostomy care.
Children do not like to be different from their friends and classmates. Your child may have many difficult emotions, including frustration and embarrassment.
You may see some changes in your child's behavior at first. Sometimes teenagers have a harder time accepting their ileostomy than younger children. Try to keep a positive attitude and use humor when it fits the situation. You being open and natural will help your child's behavior stay positive.
Help your child learn how to handle problems with their ileostomy on their own.
Help your child decide who they want to talk to about their ileostomy. Talk with your child about what they will say. Be firm, calm, and open. It can help to do a role play, where you pretend you are one of the people your child has decided to tell about their ileostomy. Ask questions that person might ask. This will help your child prepare to talk with other people.
Your child should feel that you understand what it is like to have an ileostomy. Help them learn to take care of themselves, and let them know they will be able to live a full life.
When problems do happen, stay calm and ask for help from your child's health care provider.
Be flexible with your child as they adjust to school and everyday situations.
When your child returns to school, have a plan to deal with problems or emergencies. If your child knows what to do when there is leakage, it will help them avoid embarrassing situations.
Your child should be able to take part in recess and sports, go camping and have other overnight trips, and do all other school and after-school activities.

He's been nominated for a couple of Canadian Comedy Awards, appeared on TV with Oscar the Grouch and recently shot a film with Jake Gyllenhaal - but you probably know Darryl Dinn best as a walking paper towel.
Dinn, of Labrador City, is an actor based in Toronto with a recurring role as one of the padded paper towel sponges in the SpongeTowel commercials, quick to jump on spills and messes.
"It's the ultimate onesie," Dinn says, laughing, of the white padded suit, complete with hood and mittens and worth $5,000, he wears in the ads. He just filmed his eighth TV ad for SpongeTowel.
Dinn has been living in Toronto for the past 10 years, having worked for a bit on community television in his hometown, and studying TV production at Algonquin College in Ottawa.
He's a graduate of Toronto's Second City Conservatory program and a former sketch comedy troupe member. He began commercial acting with a spot for Molson Canadian beer: in a follow-up to Molson's "I Am Canadian" rant ads, Dinn played a railway worker in the "I Am Canadian" anthem commercial.
After that, commercials became Dinn's thing.
"Most commercials in Canada, 80 per cent of (the actors) are comedy performers," Dinn says.
"For some reason, they really like comedians in commercials, maybe because they're really flexible. I think they just want people who can be playful and not so regimented, and I think that's sometimes the issue with people who've gone to theatre school. They're a bit too regimented and breaking down every word, as opposed to just playing in the moment."
Though it might be a 30-second spot, commercials generally take up to 12 hours to film, Dinn said, and can be just as exhausting - particularly if you're in a puffy suit.
"I'm lucky. I'm not a heavy sweater," he says with a laugh.
Dinn said he had been getting auditions for film and television roles a few times a year, and they stressed him out. It wasn't until he relaxed and stopped worrying about things that are beyond his control that the parts started coming easier to him.
"A friend is doing the producing course at the Canadian Film Centre and this kid came in and was an amazing audition, but everyone else they had cast was a foot taller," Dinn says.
"It was one of those things as an actor you'd beat yourself up over, but you might have done a good job; you would just look so weird next to everyone else who is so much taller than you. As long as you've done a good audition, there are so many other variables working for or against you.
Last January, Dinn shot a pilot called "Stand by Your Booth," a comedy show in the style of "The Office," based on the lives of escalator handrail salesmen. Dinn plays a guy who works at the elevator button store.
"Masculathon," a webseries in which Dinn performs, has hit 1.6 million views, while another web series, "Out With Dad," has earned nine Indie Soap Awards nominations, and won the award for Outstanding Ensemble Cast in a Drama at the 2012 L.A. Web Series Festival.
The series, which has been subtitled in a dozen different languages and has been sold for broadcast in France, follows Rose, a teenage lesbian, and Nathan, her single dad.
"I've realized that there are people in different parts of the world, where the situation might not be common, who see themselves reflected in the characters," Dinn says, explaining that he's received emails and messages from fans around the globe.
"We're not only creating entertainment, but maybe helping people at the same time. And it's cool to have that connection."
This past summer, Dinn was nominated for his second Canadian comedy award for "Fruit Blog," starring and created by Scott Thompson from "Kids in the Hall."
"Scott, in real life, is obsessed with fruit from around the world," Dinn says. "He just finds it so interesting. They rented a room in a seedy hotel and we basically improvised for six hours and they turned it into 20 episodes."
The highlight of Dinn's career so far, he says, was a public service announcement he filmed with Oscar the Grouch for Ontario's Waste Reduction Week in 2008. Dinn played an office worker whom Oscar chides for his use of reusable lunch containers instead of creating more trash.
"It was the most surreal thing - in between takes he'd pop his head out of the can and go, 'I'm watching you, Darryl.' To hear Oscar the Grouch utter your name was the best thing ever," Dinn says.
Dinn gets home to this province at least twice a year, and is in Labrador City now for the holidays.
He's taught drama and improv at the Newfoundland and Labrador High School Drama Festival, and this spring he'll adjudicate the Labrador High School Drama Festival in Goose Bay.
In the summer, he'll appear in "An Enemy," a movie shot in Toronto in which Jake Gyllenhall plays a professor at the University of Toronto.
Dinn plays a video store clerk and has two scenes with Gyllenhaal, he says, and adds it isn't a huge part, but was somewhat challenging all the same.
He and friend Dina Pino are working on a TV concept - for which they were named finalists in the 2012 Innoversity Summit The Big Pitch competition - called "Céline Poutine," about a couple living on the Labrador/Quebec border, the woman working as an impersonator for a certain Quebec chanteuse.
Though comedy is where he's had the most success so far, Dinn says he never wants to limit himself to just that.
"Comedy comes most natural to me, and I think it's genetically encoded, coming from Newfoundland and Labrador," he says.

Very pleasant taste. I taste tested and added more jalapeño. Amount may depend on the chili. Good as first course or complement to a cold summer dinner.
Followed the recipe and I have to say I really liked it! A little heat in a cool soup. A keeper for sure.
Like the other reviewers, I also replaced the ice cubes with buttermilk and used Greek yogurt instead of regular plain low-fat yogurt. However, to keep it on the healthier side, I did use low fat buttermilk and low fat Greek yogurt. I also used a whole jalapeno (took seeds out of one half as a precaution), upped the lime juice, used a whole avocado, and used just a touch less salt than the recipe calls for. Also only used one cucumber. With these modifications, the soup is delicious! Just enough spice to make it interesting, but still cool and refreshing.
As per other reviews I made a few changes to the recipe. I added green bell peppers, paprika, cumin, red onion, garlic powder,and cayenne pepper. The taste was very prominent, but next time I will tone down the cayenne pepper. I also added some milk to improve the consistency. Finally, I added some crumbled blue cheese for added depth in flavor. It was a fantastic addition!
I'm not sure what I expected from this dish, but it really just tasted like spicy cucumbers. I wish it were more hearty. Maybe it would get there with more avocado and yogurt. I made a video of the dish for my blog: http://makeityourdamnself.wordpress.com (Spicy Cucumber-Avocado Soup)
this actually got much better a day or two after i made it. i added chopped cherry tomatoes and some crumbled queso fresca for some texture and i ended up really liking this soup!
i followed the suggestions to use greek yogurt and used some milk instead of the ice cubes. i also upped the jalapeno a bit to guarantee spiciness. the flavors were good, but the texture was still a little weird. this would make a nice, small, starter for a dinner, but a large bowl of it was more than i wanted to eat.
This could have used a touch of honey though it was also fine as is. I wonder if ½ jalapeno would have been better. I made a double batch with most of a pepper and I got neither the flavor nor the heat (unless I mistakenly picked a milder pepper that looked like a jalapeno). Not Spicy at all. This might have also been tasty with the amount of avocado increased with more of the flavor & smooth texture. I did not use any ice. But this was definitely a winner. Eaten with pita chips.
kind of tasted like guacamole, but good and summer refreshing.
I found it too bitter. I will try it again, because it was sooo easy, and I love the ingredients, but I think next time I'll strip off half the cucumber skin

If Palin doesn't want to invest in that kind of operation, she could choose to lend her name to those who have the expertise. There are plenty of operatives around who already have the infrastructure and organizations, but who lack a big-name celebrity with drawing power in the conservative arena.
One name-brand who takes that route is radio talk-show host Michael Reagan, son of the late president. He has teamed up with David Bossie — a Republican operative so sleazy that, when Bossie was a top Clinton-scandal investigator for House Republicans, Gingrich had to fire him for having "embarrassed" the effort.
Reagan lends his name and face as "co-founder" of, among other things, Bossie's Presidential Coalition. That PAC raised and spent about $6.5 million in 2007–'08 — 80 percent of which came in contributions of less than 100 dollars, according to federally filed documents.
Of that $6.5 million, three-quarters was spent on fundraising and follow-up with contributors. (Much of it was reported in campaign-finance documents as "survey" work, but was actually telemarketing, conducted by Presidential Coalition's fundraising vendor, under a separate name.) More than $400,000 of the rest went to salaries of Bossie's Citizens United nonprofit — mostly to Bossie and his cohort Michael Boos.
After rent, insurance, and legal and accounting fees, that left less than $150,000 — about two percent of the contributions — to put to actual use. (Compare that with the American Association for Justice PAC, which raised a similar $6.2 million in the 2008 election cycle, and gave $2.7 million of it to candidates.) Most of that $150,000 went (either directly or through other PACs controlled by Bossie and Boos) to a couple dozen candidates, mostly conservatives running for state-legislative office in Virginia, where Bossie and Boos live.
This is not unusual. In fact, of the dozens of organizations for which the Phoenix reviewed recent filings, a great many appear to have very little function other than convincing members of this conservative constituency to send them money (very little of which actually goes to furthering any ideological agenda). On the part of the IRS form where groups are asked to articulate their programmatic achievements, that function is often paraphrased as "educating the public," to justify their tax-exempt status as charitable entities. Other groups tout as their main (or even sole) achievements the number of times their principals appeared on TV or in newspapers.
In some cases, the groups, and even candidates, appear to be shells existing only to perpetuate the flow of money from contributors to the direct-mail companies.
A notorious example is Washington-based Base Connect (formerly BMW Direct), run by direct-mail veteran Kimberly Bellissimo. The company operates sister companies, which are paid to perform the various parts of running the client's direct-mail campaign — production, list purchases, printing, fulfillment, and media. Virtually all of the money Base Connect raises for their client is simply paid to these Base Connect companies, which has led to some public suggestions that it's all a big shell game.

Family: Pinaceae, Pine view all from this family
Description Aromatic evergreen native coniferous tree. Crown conical. Branches straight, horizontal to angled upward from trunk; dense, opening with age. Bark thin, smooth, gray-brown with numerous resin blisters on young trees, fissured, scaly with age. Foliage strongly turpentine-scented. Leaves needle-like, arranged spirally on twigs, twisted at base to spread in two rows; 10–23 mm. long and 2–2.2 mm. broad, flat, flexible with a rounded or slightly notched tip, dark green to glaucous green above, often with a small patch of stomata near the tip, and with two silvery white stomatal bands on the underside. Cones erect, cylindric, 3.5-7 cm. long and 2.5–3 cm. broad, dark purple, turning light brown when mature. Bract scales long reflexed green, yellow or pale purple, often resinous. Cones disintegrate at 4–6 months old to release the winged seeds.
Dimensions Height: 9-15 m. (30-50 ft.)
Diameter: 0.3-0.6 m. (1-2 ft.).
Habitat Mountains.
Range Mid-Atlantic, Southeast.
Discussion Widely used as Christmas trees. Fragrance, shape, strong limbs, and ability to retain its soft needles for a long time when cut make it one of the best trees for this purpose. Has been used more times as the Blue Room Christmas tree than any other type of tree. Named after Scottish botanist John Fraser (1750–1811), who made numerous botanical collections in the region.

Still off to an apparently slow start.
One problem is that people get dispersed to individual areas of interest.
Another is that no one is quite sure how to use the wiki format to study, teach and/or publish all at once. Perhaps this was overly ambitious to expect student notes to coevolve to high quality material. Mostly I think it is a lack of small friendly groups with common interests showing up at the same time. I think people are coming and going and checking back to see if it is alive yet. 8(
Anyway I trying something new. I am setting up my own wikimedia server so I can link to Wikiversity from personal scribbling not really yet decipherable by others. Later after I clean it up I can cut and paste suitable material over to the Wikiversity.
Last/first problem is just the blasted interface. It is way to clunky for studying mathematical physics or engineering. I guess I will have to get in habit of doing math by hand first and then keying in information as part of a review or discussion or publishing process.
I am not sure if our Tex pre/process is working like Wikipedia's does as I do not know Tex. Perhaps I should acquire a copy and start learning it.
Some good news. One of our people is talking to one of the integrated desktop teams ..... I think KDE but I could be wrong .... they are considering moving their training support activities to Wikiversity.
I think that will give us a huge boost. First from knowledgeable development people prototyping good ways to use the wiki format for training/studying. Second from steady supply of new participants familar with the wikimedia software environment for web publishing and interaction.
Nice to hear Advogato is going to survive.

Back in the day, the Eddie Bauer stuff was awesome; from WWII flight suits to hunting gear -- if you were looking to stay warm, EB was the place to go. He designed the gear out of necessity; every October he closed the store and went hunting and fishing for five or six months. The new Sport Shop line is a return to the history that made them famous; it's guide driven and has some good stuff for the upland fields.
Wasn't there an Eddie Bauer fur company in St. Louis years ago?

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Line nippers are the same principle as nail trimmers, but are specially made for fishing.
I use an 8' 5/6 weight for my bass fishing. My biggest fish to date on that rig was somewhere over 5 lbs, and it went into the weeds several times, but the rod has a stiff butt and I can really pull a fish out of the weeds with it. I also cast monster flies with it without any problem, but I've been fly fishing for a long time. A lot depends on the rod, how good you are at casting, and how you play the fish. A stiff 5/6 will keep a fish out of the weeds just fine if you've got a strong tippet on. I agree with Juro though that it can be tough to keep fish out of the weeds with a lighter rod, and that it can be tough to cast big bass poppers (especially for a newbie).
If you can, go to a fly shop and ask them to try out a 5/6 with a big fly on it and see how you do. Personally, I think I fish with smaller rod than most people. I used a 4 wt this summer for 3-4 lb smallmouth and big salmon when most people probably would have gone with at least a 5 or 6. There's tricks to playing big fish on a small rod, and to casting big flies with it, that take a while to master.
|Blues Brother
|5/6wt seems much underpowered for the bass I'd caught when I explored this, but then again they were really good sized large and smallmouths. The flies I threw at them also required some real grains to propel. Once hooked, their dives into the thick weeds would harm my abilities to crank them out. I guess it's a matter of how you approach the pursuit since bass come in such a wide range of sizes and environments.
That combo sounds like a decent one to start out with for bass, and you can use it for trout too. A couple more things you need to buy are line nippers and a hemostat (hook remover/fly holder). Sure, you can live without these, and use something else to clip your line, but the small $$$ they cost are more than made up for by the time and effort they save you!
For flies, you should get some poppers and streamers. They're going to let you catch bass and panfish until your arm gets tired. For poppers, I generally lean towards white/green for bass, and anything for panfish (they're not picky). For streamers, I use just about any color known to man except white for bass. But panfish love white streamers.
|Blues Brother
BTW, I'm going to hit the fishing stores around here pretty soon, asking the local guys for advice as well.
Bryce -
The most valueable thing in my flyfishing learning curve has not been cheap equipment but sage advice, which I have found only at flyshops or in more rare moments talking to the old hands on the water.
We can offer some advice on line to help right here on the forum, but the best advice is to build a relationship with one or more fly shops. The returns are worth many times the savings on cheap gear on line, and the internet only makes shops anywhere in the country easier to interact with. Send some emails, ask some questions and if you find they have the knowledge you can use then you've hit the jackpot.
As far as bass on the fly, I've always preferred to use at least a 7wt because I like to throw big flies and go for the beer keg bass. I've caught them on light rods but frankly I could not move them out of the weeds - and these are northern bass which are smaller than your bass due to the shortened growing period.
I would look at a 7wt unless you want something to double as a trout rod.
|Blues Brother
Hi Bryce!
For around $100, you can get a high quality starter outfit from Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, and others. I have the Hobbs Creek combo in 4wt and 8wt. Both run about $110 each, and they work fine. You don't have to "outgrow" the Hobbs Creek combos; I've been flyfishing 5 yrs and still enjoy using them.
Get a casting video or dvd to help you with your casting. I have downloaded pages of tying knots off the internet as well.
If money is tight, those $20 outfits that Wal-Mart sells will still work. I've used them, and caught plenty of bass and bluegills on them.
Keep your line clean and lubed while casting. Practice your casting as well.
|Blues Brother
|Thanks for the reply. It helps getting advice from someone else who is pretty new. you probably had questions about the same things i'm curious about!
Dude! here's something from a fellow NC'er
Though I have kids your age, I'm also just getting started at this new game of feather chucking and it is a hoot. I have fished for any and everything and before fly rodding ....carp fishing was my favorite. If you have ever caught one.....then you know what I mean. I have yet to target them on the fly yet but I will.
Here's what I did. I went to SprawlMart (gasp!) and picked up a 5 weight Scientific Angler rod and matching SA reel. Click and pawl drag. the reel is now toast from lots of fish!. I also stopped by the local library and checked out some flyfishing books (saved moneythat way too) and read up a bit on it. Lefty Kreh has great book called something like 101 tips for beginners or close to it. If you can't find one, let me know and I'll mail you mine. Then for nearly a month I praticed casting in the front yard. Then went to the local town reservoir and gave it a go with a piece of yarn tied on - no hook. SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! red face and eyes rolling! went back home and SAT DOWN in the front yard and practiced casting. Number one goof/lesson. Flyfishing is frequently done standing IN the water NOT standing on the surface of the water. The sitting down part simulates the lawn becoming the water surface and helps you keep your line above it. No more SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! Learn short, smooth, consistent, accurate casting and the rest will come. Avoid learning with lots of wind. I still flub up but am catching fish and tying ugly flies and mostly having a great time. Get the best equipment you can afford to see if you'll stick with it. Ebay has good deals. The combo is a good start. Then save your lunch money or sell junk on eBay and buy something really nice that will last a lot longer than the entry level gear. Good line like forward weight floating and line dressing makes a BIG difference especially after you've soaked your flyline for a while. Over there in the mountains are some fly shops. Cruise them and the internet sites like this and see what you can learn. Hope this helps!

Newbie fly fisherman!
Hey all! Let me go ahead and introduce myself. My name's Bryce, and I'm a high school student looking to do some fly fishing. I'm no stranger to fishing. I've done quite a few different types of fishing, just never tried fly fishing. I know virtually nothing about fly fishing, except the very basics. I was wondering if you guys could suggest a good beginner's outfit. Something pretty inexpensive. ('Cause after all, I am a high school student ) Pflueger has an outfit for sale on Bass Pro that looks decent, and is very inexpensive. but i'm open to anything, so whatever you guys think would be best! Also, my dad, nor any of my other relatives fly fish, so I have no way of really learning. I really don't want to have to pay for "lessons" either. Are there any good books that will help me get off the ground? Like "Fly Fishing for Dummies"? Sorry if I've come across as too much of a newbie, but I really am pretty ignorant to this type of fishing, so bear with me! Thanks.

Has anyone used these for marking a quilt for quilting and does it disappear with ironing?

Has anyone used these for marking a quilt for quilting and does it disappear with ironing?
Yes it will disappear when Ironed, it will also reappear when it get's real cold. I was told if you use steam, the kind that goes right through the fabric. it stays gone, haven't tried it yet, My iron isn't strong enough.
I haven't personally tried these pens, but I've read quite a few reviews. One problem is that the marks reappear when the quilt gets cold. This has happened when quilts shipped to shows get put in the airline baggage compartment, causing at least one quilt to be rejected at a show. It can also happen if you drive in a cold climate with the quilt in the trunk of the car. Another problem has been that the lines have sometimes not entirely disappeared, especially on batiks. I would personally try another option, rather than tempt fate by using these pens. They weren't made for fabric.
I have used it to mark a baby quilt used the blue frixon pen and it worked wonderfully. i would always try it on a piece of scrap material from the quilt. it came out like magic
I used it to baste a piece of linen for a cross stitch piece and when I ironed out a spot that I marked incorrectly it slowly came back and I don't think it was even cold. I will probably take a facecloth and wash out the area. Good wet steam might be a great idea too. I'll give that a try as well.
I use the pens quite a bit with great success ...but.....when marking on dark fabrics, it may leave a faint line....stitching will cover it, but if you mark by mistake, you will have that faint line.....washing the fabrics with detergent seems to make the lines disappear a bit more....I don't worry about the lines coming back by being subjected to cold....it takes quite a bit of cold for them to reappear....like putting a quilt in the freezer for a couple hours.....who does that?....all you have to do is throw it in the dryer and they are gone again anyway.....I've tried this, so I know.....you must always test the markers on a piece of scrap before marking your quilt top, the same as any other marking system....better safe than sorry...;)
Once washed with detergent the marks won't come back even if put in the freezer, at least on the quilts I've used it on. Too many quilters have tried the experiment of not washing, freezing, washing freezing, starch the fabric first, not starch. The marking color is non toxic and archival quality. I use them for all markings and haven't had a problem that bothers me about them but most quilting mistakes don't bother me, so test first.
best advice is not to use them for quilts even tho many have had success.
If I ever had a quilt to be major show worthy, I wouldn't use them due to the cold shipping issues. Since I will never have a quilt that good, I happily use them on my quilts and sewing projects.
I use them alot and really like them. Just be sure you test on scrap first to make sure no problems!

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: In Cubi XXI, a diagonal pole leans against a kind of brace. This echoes classical marble sculpture, which often requires a support element to hold the work upright. By mimicking that structure in welded steel, Smith was making a kind of joke—marble is a relatively soft material, and steel is anything but. Antiquity was on Smith's mind when he made all of the Cubi—the series title is a Latinized word for "cube" that he made up. But here again Smith points to the sculptural tradition in order to alter it from within. Michael Brenson.MICHAEL BRENSON: The Cubis are unusual in a number of ways, one of which that the parts are fabricated. They do come, to some degree, out of found objects. I know that he had these brandy boxes in his basement, or brandy boxes also lined up on the windowsill of the house. Then these brandy boxes became the boxes for the form on which the Cubi were based. Which is a way of saying, too, that in Smith everything is personal. Everything, even if it's not evident, really everything has some very personal connection to his everyday life.And the second is that Smith didn't always do the welding on these. There is maybe more of an industrial conversation here or conversation going on with industrial processing, with assembly line products. NARRATOR: Smith made all of the Cubi between 1961 and 1965—a time when younger sculptors often used industrial fabrication. The Cubi may respond to those works. But if so, Smith didn't idealize the assembly line—as the Minimalist Donald Judd did when he said that a composition should simply present "one thing after another." On the contrary, the Cubi demonstrate that Smith could create personal meaning even in unlikely circumstances.

Globalisation and Phone Calls
I just watched an interesting TED talk by Pankaj Ghemawat (of which the most important points are summarised in a TED blog post) about the world not being as globalised as people expect [1]. One point is that only 2% of traditional voice phone calling minutes (and ~6% when you include VOIP) are for international calls which is less than most people expect.
After reading that it occurred to me that most of the "included value" in my mobile phone contract goes unused, I pay for extra data transfer and it includes voice calling credit that I don't use. So out of $450 of included calls I typically use much less than $50. $400 of calls to even the most expensive countries is about 100 minutes of talking. So the logical thing to do is to find people in other countries to call.
If you are involved in the FOSS community and would like to speak to me then send me an email with your phone number, time zone, and a range of times that are convenient. I won't make any promises about calling you soon (I could use up my monthly credit on a single call), but I will call you eventually.
I will also send email to some people I know by email and suggest a chat. Some years ago I did this with people who were involved in SE Linux development and it seemed to help the development of the SE Linux community.
Also if anyone in Australia wants to speak to me then that's OK too. While Pankaj's talk inspired me to call people I'm not dedicated to calling other countries.

I wandered into the TRU In Dearborn earlier today, and as I walked to the place where they keep Tessek, Ketwol, Sabe, and friends, I saw an employee there putting out the last two POTJ waves. I quickly snatched up a Rebel Fleet Trooper, Imperial Officer and R4-M9. He was also putting out FX-7, Teebo, and the queen. I didn't need them so I didn't get them.
This means I now have gotten all the POTJ, except clean biker scout, (never saw him) at retail. I'm soooooo happy. My family could care less.

Nothing excites travelers more than the sight of sparkling clear blue water seen against a background of towering purple mountains. Eilat is one of the few places in Israel where visitors can see such a panorama with the sun rises from behind the mountains of Moav and setting behind the mountains of Eilat, shedding it warmth on the sea, the town, and its residents and visitors.
Among the waters of the Red Sea lies one of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world. Its mazes, bays, deep canyons, and the abundant beautiful fish that swim among the majestic coral have made it an internationally-renowned diving site. The magic and silence of this underwater world is calming and enchanting.
The coral reef in Eilat extends for over 1200 meters along the shore, and is one of the northernmost reefs in the world, and the only one of its kind in Israel and as such has been declared a nature reserve. The reef has become a pilgrimage site for sea naturalists and for professional and amateur divers and snorkelers. The reef is made up of a primary wall of coral that descends to a depth of 3 to 4 meters. Behind this is a sand bar with two huge rocks known as Joshua and Moses, and behind these is another steep wall of coral that descends to a depth of 35 meters. The beautiful coral creates colorful garden-like formations containing many varieties of fish and marvelous sea creatures. There are over 270 species of coral in this underwater jungle, among which are numerous small habitats that contain over 2,500 species of underwater life – some of them unique to the Red Sea. These include sea turtles, sea urchins, oysters, sea anemones, crabs, sponges, octopi, cuttlefish, tropical fish, and even several types of cheerful dolphins - making diving at the site a special experience.
There are several well-known diving sites along the reef such as the two rocks, Joshua and Moses that can be reached by a special bridge at the northern end of the reserve, and the Japanese gardens at the southern end. These were so named because of their similarity to a Japanese garden. The gardens are the most well-protected diving site in Eilat and extend over an area of 500 meters, and descend to two different depths.
Since the coral reef is a complex and delicate ecosystem, any deviation in its balance is liable to cause a negative chain reaction. The site therefore imposes strict precautions designed to preserve its natural ecological balance, and the number of divers that are permitted to enter the site at one time is limited.
Outside the reserve there are several other diving sites. These include the caves – a popular and convenient site close to the Taba border terminal, with two underwater passages. One of these can be crossed while diving. The eel garden, located north of the reserve is a popular site where divers can watch a forest of eels standing upright in the current. The lighthouse is situated at the end of the southern shore and has two circular diving routes with marked entrances. The sculpture garden looks like statues placed in the sea, and can be reached only with boats and a guide. Another site is the battleship - a ship belonging to the Israeli navy that was sunk in 1994 opposite the southern marina. Another site, known as Paradise, is located near the battleship, and is one of the most widely toured sites. The University, located on the shore of the Interuniversity Institute, is a place where research and experiments are conducted on growing coral. Another Israeli navy craft, the Mosquito, is a boat that was sunk opposite the Coral Beach. The Tables of Neptune, also known as the Coral Tables or Veronica, are located on the southern shore on the way to Taba.

Phillips and Stave lead QB competition
Both started games in 2012
MADISON, Wis. - It's safe to say redshirt sophomore quarterback Joel Stave and sixth year senior Curt Phillips both came into the spring with a leg up on their competition for the starting quarterback job. They both played last year. And now that spring is winding down, they won't admit it and nothing is official, but the job is clearly between those two.
"I don't know, I mean I think both of us do a pretty good job of not trying to look over our shoulder," says Phillips. "Obviously we're in kind of a unique situation where we have multiple quarterbacks that can win games."
"It's not my decision," adds Stave. "I'm just trying to compete everyday and make sure I'm getting better at what I'm doing."
As if competing for the starting job isn't enough, Stave and Phillips are scrambling to learn a new offense, from a new coaching staff, installing a completely new system.19778300
"Initially, it may be frustrating trying to learn, like you said, this is our third offense in three years. But at the same time, I think it's an advantage for us having already done it last year," says Phillips.
Redshirt senior wide receiver Jared Abbrederis says a lot has been thrown at all the quarterbacks.
"It's kind of a learning process, when you bring the new coaches in, we got the new offense and things like that. But I think they've both been doing really good, being consistent. Obviously everybody has their off days, but for the most part I think they've done a good job."
Fans will pay attention to Saturday's Spring Game to see which quarterback comes out on top, however this competition will likely last all the way through fall camp.
"Knowing there's somebody nipping on your heels, that always makes it more fun and that much more exciting to go out and compete everyday," says Phillips.
And a potential starting quarterback for the upcoming season isn't even in Madison yet. Junior college transfer Tanner McEvoy will join the team this summer.

Doesn't work on my iPhone 5 at all just makes the screen do crazy things. On 6.1.2 and have springtomize 2 installed. Any ideas ? I tried to respringing multiple times and reinstalling and just sent my display crazy
BEWARE DO NOT BUY THIS TWEAK. With the current update it is unstable and will like others said make your iphone into a mad iphone. This has happened on my iphone 5 and others iphone 4s and 4.
After first installing it didn't change my lock screen, even though it showed it was enabled in the settings. I turned it off and then back on and voila! Works fine on my iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.
Mark O.
First version worked fine, the updated one made my phone completely unusable. Awesome tweak, but please revert back to the older version on Cydia.
you guys must have a conflict which causes your devices to crash as not had any problems on my i5 with this update. The only thing wrong about the update is the toggles dont really work until you flick them on or off a few times (although this was the same as the first version) and the clock isnt centre aligned on the top block.
I'm sure your right, can't see that a dev would release an update that doesn't work, but, I have only a few things from Cydia: SBSettings, LockInfo, InfiniDock, on top of the items that are auto-installed. So, if it is a conflict, its with a fairly well-known app. The fact quite a few others are experiences the same kinda backs this up.
Regardless, no one is perfect, issues happen, let's hope the dev manages this one quickly with either a fix or a downgrade option.

They beat the living **** out of you. Wasnt to bad, but didnt see "getting throw around" coming. Have had deep tissue work done and was expecting something similar. Wrong. Arms twisting, neck cracking, rib ****ing cage punching....and no hesitation during all of it. 0 ****s given. Dude was flying through it(im sure he has to explain it alot) and at one point told me "take a deep breath then exale". Thinking nothing of it i took the breath, began the exale, and felt like he lunged onto my back. I damn near checked my pockets to make sure i wasnt being mugged.
But dont let me scare you off, for all my bitching i do feel more flexible and my upper back feels great. No real pain except for some soreness, despite the MMA style beatdown that the actions seem to have resembled. Was only half a visit(exam and what not took up the other half) and to early to recommend it, but i plan to keep going.

Let me know how much it helps you going forward. I've always suspected I gave myself a slight hernia in my lower back doing dead lifts in high school. Mainly it's fine as long as I don't stand in one place for more than 10 minutes. But at some point I know it's going to catch up to me, so it's nice I have getting the **** kicked out of me to look forward to. Hopefully it's worth it.
Why, I can smile, and murder while I smile,
And cry 'Content' to that which grieves my heart,
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears,
And frame my face to all occasions.
I can add colours to the chameleon,
Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,
And set the murderous Machiavel to school.
Can I do this, and cannot get a crown?
Will keep posting about it. I have no doubt i wont lack for stories on the subject. And more seriously, you might consider going to a Pain Management specialist and talk to them about your back. Have worked with one the past year and it has worked wonders. Steroid injections have had the best results in my case. I believe football players get them during the week before a game when they suffer from similar injuries. Nothing intimidating about it at all, they just giant needles and charged wires.
Bunch of old ass men in here. Back pain? :feelsgoodman: to be young.

(Release: May 17, 2012) - Hagerstown Community College recently received a five-year grant, totaling $1.25 million, from the U.S. Department of Education as part of its Upward Bound program. This grant is designed to increase the high school graduation and college completion rates of low-income, first-generation students. Through this grant, HCC will work in partnership with Washington County Public Schools to further enhance evolving curricular changes that are designed to result in higher college attendance rates.
"We are very proud of the fact that only eight percent of the awards made were to new projects and HCC was the only new program in Maryland," said Guy Altieri, HCC president. "While this grant will allow us to help only four schools initially, it is our hope that we will eventually be able to help more schools, pending new funding availability."
As part of the grant application, the four schools targeted to receive support from this program are South Hagerstown High School, North Hagerstown High School, Williamsport High School, and Hancock High School. The focus for the younger students will be on academic skill-building and college and career exploration. College readiness, especially in math and English, will be the focus for the older students. The program will include a summer academy on the HCC campus, designed to further increase academic readiness.
"This partnership between the school district and HCC provides a clear pathway for young people who are inspired and motivated by the chance to make a better life through their education. We view this partnership and the opportunity to support our students in a deep and meaningful way - as a next step in a series of life-changing events for each student we serve," said Washington County Public Schools Superintendent Clayton Wilcox.
Upward Bound has been in existence since the 1960s. This grant award is the first time that Washington County has received Upward Bound funding.
For more information on the Upward Bound program, contact Mylynh Nguyen at 240-500-2584 or email email@example.com.

"Justice — Celebrate, Educate, and Advocate" was the theme of the first annual Trial Lawyers Section Summit, which featured educational seminars, the Chester Bedell Mock Trial Competition, and a keynote address by CNN legal correspondent Jeffrey Tobin.
Held in Orlando in January, section Chair Cliff Higby of Panama City said the summit was the brainchild of Glenn Burton, who passed away June 25, 2009, on the eve of his taking the reins as section chair.
"The entire event was a success, particularly in light of the fact that we have never attempted to host all of these events at one location," Higby said. "We are looking for ways to get Trial Lawyers Section members more involved, and this annual meeting is a perfect format."
The first event of the summit was the section's long-standing Chester Bedell Mock Trial Competition, which provides students from all of Florida's law schools with experience in utilizing trial skills before lawyers and judges. Ten different law schools, each with two teams, participated in this year's event dealing with a wrongful death action. St. Thomas University School of Law defeated Barry University School of Law in the final round.
"This is the greatest victory our team has accomplished thus far," said St. Thomas Mock Trial President Joey McCall, who was also named "Best Advocate" at the competition. "This victory is truly a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence that St. Thomas University School of Law is all about."
Members of the first place team also included William McHugh, Lincoln Atten, Bryan Paschal, and Jennifer Pena. Also representing St. Thomas University School of Law were Thomas Mirigliano, Christine Louissaint, Vladimir Larios, and Ramon Crego. Judge David M. Gersten and Judge Rosa Figarola, along with Michael Mayer, Kimberly Kanoff, and Tara Kawass, coached the St. Thomas teams.
The judge for the final round was U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Charles Wilson.
At a luncheon honoring Glenn Burton, former American Judicature Society president and Miami criminal defense lawyer Neal Sonnett spoke about the ongoing issues facing the legal profession. Sonnett described the challenges both the AJS and ABA have in educating the public on the need for a truly independent judiciary. David Weber of Tampa also was awarded the section's Glenn Burton Scholarship to the five-day Advanced Trial Advocacy Seminar the section holds each May in Gainesville.
The summit also provided a variety of CLE offerings, including the section's annual Trial Certification Review, coordinated by Ed Cheffy of Naples. Thirteenth Circuit Judge James Barton conducted a seminar on the newly adopted Standard Jury Instructions in Civil Cases, and the section hosted a medical malpractice update seminar coordinated by Mindy McLaughlin of Tampa.
Attendees also toasted Burton's good friend, Bob Mansbach, the immediate past chair of the section, who passed away December 25, 2010. Friday evening's entertainment began with New Yorker and CNN legal correspondent Jeffrey Tobin giving his views and insight on the U.S. Supreme Court, noting Justice Clarence Thomas's ongoing streak since 2006 of never having asked a question during oral arguments.
Summit Chair Bob Palmer of Pensacola said the section hopes the annual event will grow in the coming years "with even greater participation from the Florida Justice Association, Florida Defense Lawyers Association, and the Florida chapters of the American Board of Trial Advocates, as well as other trial lawyer organizations throughout Florida."

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
I'd always envisioned a specific hunt at the old ridge place. I'd slip to the top, locate a bird, move swiftly and silently into position, and then yelp him right to the gun barrel. And lo and behold, that was happening one glorious May morning. If you Googled "perfect turkey hunt," the search engine would link you to live footage of the dream I was living.
The bird hadn't been close, but he'd responded fairly well, and I'd learned that I could get him to move by shutting up for several minutes. And after about 40 minutes of stop-and-go calling, the turkey in my perfect hunt was almost perfect, standing just 20 steps away near the top of the ridge.
Notice I said "almost perfect." Yes, he was within ultra-easy range — almost too close. No doubt, he was searching hard for that little hen he'd heard. But he'd walked right into a low dip in the ridge line, and I couldn't see him — not even the top of his head. Further, he stopped there because he could see the field next to the ridge.
Crap. I knew he wouldn't stay there forever, so I had to make a tactical choice. If I stood up, I'd surely be able to see the turkey and get a shot at him. However, standing would bring an immediate end to the hunt, and if the bird spotted me before I got my bead on him, I might not get a good shot. If I stayed put and kept quiet, the turkey might continue searching for the hen and walk the final few steps out of the hole and down my gun barrel. He'd already come a long way, after all.
Stand or fall? Stand and fall? Oh boy ... .
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

We do a lot of upland hunting. Keeps the dogs working hard all day. I feed the night before so in the morning before the hunt I will "spike" a treat with Nutri-Stat and continue at intervals throughout the day. I've been told that if you give the dogs a dose within 20 minutes after the end of the hunt they will recover much better for the next day. Hunt tests and training aren't nearly as taxing as an all day upland hunt but I will give a lesser amount on test days.

I just carry a bottle of pancake syrup and give them a few licks from the bottle after a series. My big guy can't have anything on his stomach while running, so he can't even have breakfast the day of a test. I don't think it would be fair to ask him to do all that work without something for energy.

It's not a new thing, the complications of elder care. As Shakespeare pointed out, the ill-advised handling of a cranky parent can even end with a stage littered with bodies. For anyone who hasn't yet witnessed the tragedy of King Lear, you're in luck. You can see a definitive version at Trinity Rep (through October 21), a superb accomplishment exquisitely performed in the title role by Brian McEleney and skillfully directed by Kevin Moriarty.
A throne-like chair stands alone on the stage at the opening, emphasizing the self-inflicted abandonment of the British king. Not a moment is wasted in establishing his plight — in the first scene, he announces that he will distribute his kingdom to his three daughters, with the unspoken understanding that they will care for him in his regal retirement.
But the fatally egocentric king poses a little kowtow contest: the largest portion will go to the daughter who convinces him she loves him the most. Eldest child Goneril (Christie Vela) and Regan (Angela Brazil) compete in exaggerating their affection, but his youngest, Cordelia (Abbey Siegworth), resists. Shakespeare strains credibility for the sake of drama: Lear loves her the most, but when he asks "what can you say to draw a third more opulent than your sisters?" she responds, "Nothing, my lord."
Not wanting to be a hypocrite, she says that she loves him "according to my bond, no more nor less." Not the words of a likely heiress. Predictably, the two honey-tongued daughters neglect him and eventually cast out the obstreperous old man. We don't see Cordelia again until Act Two, when she returns from France with an army, by which time her father has been driven mad by the treachery.
The most remarkable thing about McEleney's riveting take on Lear is that it's simultaneously subtle and a series of full-blown explosions. It didn't occur to me until the second half that he was shouting most of his lines in the first half; every outburst was so carefully modulated to the experience of the exasperated king that the accumulation didn't come across as strident. (Since he's playing an octogenarian, McEleney can be forgiven for having another character heft the tall Siegworth's Cordelia onto the stage at the end instead of his Lear doing so, as Shakespeare wished. Actors' Equity rules probably proscribe heavy lifting.)
With all the hand-rubbing mayhem, comic relief was never more needed, so Lear is ably aided and contrasted by Stephen Berenson as the Fool (in plaid pants and matching bowtie for motley). Another sort of needed foil is the Earl of Kent (Hassan El-Amin), who infuriates Lear at the outset by trying to reason with him about his mistreatment of Cordelia and is banished for his pains. He remains loyal nevertheless, returning to serve Lear in disguise (a watchcap is just about all it takes, in the Shakespeare tradition of convenient obliviousness).

So long, Thanksgiving; hello, Christmas.
As I said in my last post, I planned to enjoy my Thanksgiving and forget what the scale said.
Well, I did just that.
I've been sick for about a full week now, with an annoying cold that doesn't want to let go. So, I haven't been to the gym in a week. On top of that, I enjoyed a lot of super carb-y dressing and my (low fat, but not low sugar) cheesecake at Thanksgiving.
Total damage: three pounds, says the scale.
If that's all I've done, well, I can live with that. I was nervous that I'd gained closer to five, but three? I'm totally OK with that!
I spent last week enjoying time with my family and eating what I wanted (and not focusing quite so much on how to eat healthfully), but I only did this for a few days. I say those three pounds were worth it. Those are three pounds I can easily shed, by eating well and working out. There have been many, many times during this losing weight journey that I've gained a little bit of weight here and there, only to lose it later. Sometimes I knew why I was gaining: because I wasn't working out hard enough, or because I was just eating too much (even of the healthy stuff!). Sometimes I had no idea why. Still, I've managed to lose it. And I'll lose these three, too, and get back to losing more.
And, even though I didn't eat perfectly during Thanksgiving, I tried a few things to keep the pounds off. For example, when I made my turkey sandwiches (and I made A LOT), I ate it the way I eat every sandwich these days, with only one slice of bread. I just take one slice of bread, top it with everything I want, and eat it that way. I do this even when I'm eating whole wheat bread. It's a little messy, but worth the effort. Just use a fork, or get really good at balancing!
This time off has really made me miss the gym and my healthy eating. Sure, the "bad" stuff I had was yummy, but I miss my fruit smoothies and salads. Eating fresh food is just so much better than anything processed, or from a fast food joint. I can't wait to go shopping and go work out when I get off work tonight.
Here's to another couple of healthy weeks…. before Christmas! 🙂

Prof. Lapp weighed in on the Supreme Court's opinion allowing a state to mandate pre-conviction DNA collection in Maryland v. King, deemed "the most important criminal procedure case that this Court has heard in decades" by Justice Alito.
Prof. Lapp: Where Immigration and Criminal Law Collide
Kevin Lapp joined the Loyola Law School faculty in fall 2012 as an associate professor after serving as an acting assistant professor at the New York University School of Law. He is an expert on the intersection of immigration and criminal law with a focus on juveniles. His most recent law review article, "Reforming the Good Moral Character Requirement for U.S. Citizens," appeared in the Indiana Law Journal. Lapp's work has also appeared in the New York University Review of Law and Social Change and the North Carolina Law Review Addendum.
Lapp received his JD, magna cum laude, from NYU School of Law in 2004. As a student, he was elected to the Order of the Coif, served as a senior articles editor for the New York University Review of Law and Social Change and was named an Arthur Garfield Hays Civil Liberties Fellow and a Florence Allen Scholar. Lapp also holds an MA in American History from the University of Georgia.
After graduating law school, Lapp clerked for the Hon. A. Howard Matz in the Central District of California. He then spent four years at the Legal Aid Society of New York City in the Juvenile Rights Practice, representing young people in juvenile delinquency and child-welfare proceedings.
When considering a move to Loyola, Lapp says he was impressed by the way the Law School's students and faculty impact both the academic and professional worlds.
"I was drawn by Loyola's diverse, talented student body and its community of first-class scholars and practitioners," Lapp said. "I'm excited by the opportunity to work alongside students and professors who are putting their considerable skills and energy to work representing clients and shaping opinion on important legal issues."

Bought these to replace Jensen speakers in our boat. The Jensen speakers were excellent speakers and held up fine, they lasted five years but finally gave up here on the coast. The Kenwood speakers sound great and were not as expensive. Can't say as to how they will hold up yet. Also, I don't like the other flashy chrome looking speakers, these are white and don't stand out against the boat. Very pleased with these so far. Sonic rep was very helpful and polite, no complaints here.
