Praise for The Responsible Entrepreneur
Businesses are arising all over the world that are designed as solutions to the biggest problems we face as human beings on this fragile planet in a time of great transition. Carol Sanford's book looks deeply at these game-changing entrepreneurs and finds a pattern that I think makes sense that holds true to what I am seeing. She provides a systemic approach to intervention based on the concept of regeneration that I am finding useful as I examine the projects, partnerships and investments our businesses make to try to accelerate our ability to adapt to the great shift that is coming. It's a book that's worth spending time with, and reflecting on again and again. There is a secret inside.
Kevin Jones, Co-Founder of SoCap
Carol says that this book is about being responsible, and it is—but it's also about being courageous. I dare you to read it and implement the bold, useful advice.
Chris Guillebeau, NYT bestselling author, The $100 Startup
The Responsible Entrepreneur is packed with insight. Like Jane Jacobs, observations from real life about how successful businesses and organizations actually work; without the gloss, the hype, the baloney. Carol brings a much bigger picture to enterprise.
Spencer B. Beebe, Chairman at Ecotrust, Co-Founder of Nature Conservatory, Founder of Conservation International
This is a book for people who create enterprises that create great good work in the world. They are members of an elite corps of people that is emerging everywhere, but so far under recognized and under rewarded, even though some of its members are stars. Carol Sanford, an extremely experienced member of that movement, has written a book that puts its leading figures (Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson, Tesla founder Elon Musk, Seventh Generation founder Jeffrey Hollender, and more) in context, and helps you realize: You're in it with them.
Art Kleiner, Editor-in-Chief of Strategy+Business and Author of The Age of Heretics
If our society is to not only to survive but to flourish we will need a generation of entrepreneurs who are both fully aware of the fragility, complexity and interconnectedness of the world and committed to building outstandingly successful businesses. In this passionate and inspiring book Carol presents the stories of a wide range of entrepreneurs who are mastering this tension, and presents an actionable road map for everyone who is determined to follow in their footsteps.
Rebecca Henderson, John & Natty McArthur University Professor, Harvard University, Co-Chair, Business & Environment Initiative, Harvard Business School
Graduate students in school today aspire to make big changes in the world. While they draw on wisdom of great leaders, they strongly prefer to create their own path forward. Sanford, in The Responsible Entrepreneur, speaks directly to the current generation. She gives lessons and inspiration on finding the uniqueness in themselves to play a large role in the world. This book contains powerful stories, half from female entrepreneurs, who have contributed to a better world- as well as stories of women of color. It is perfectly suited to the new generation entrepreneurs and the people who coach and teach them.
Kellie A. McElhaney, Ph.D., Whitehead Faculty Fellow, UC Berkeley Haas School of Business and Author of Just Good Business
Carol opens her new book with a quote from Guy Kawasaki who reminds us that "Great companies start because the founders want to change the world, not make a fast buck." this idea alone is transformative, but not enough. Entrepreneurs seeking to have meaningful impact need tools to be successful in their quest. The Responsible Entrepreneur is a necessary handbook for changemakers on the journey to use their business to help shape a future that is healthier and more satisfying for everyone.
KoAnn Skrzyniarz, Founder/CEO, Sustainable Brands
Carol has produced a profound but simple framework for understanding and unleashing entrepreneurial talent. Offering unique insight into four types of entrepreneurship and the domains in which they provide the most leverage, this is a book to feed the entrepreneurial spirit and catalyze it toward more meaningful impact in the world.

Massholes: A timeline of modern-day state house corruption. By David S. Bernstien.
Weakened watchdogs: If the Globe shrinks, will Beacon Hill run amok? By Adam Reilly.
As the recent pattern has been, those in the current Speaker's good graces protect the status quo; the rest plot and wait for their chance to benefit from the system. Thus, the liberals who regularly decried Finneran's autocratic, centralized, secretive leadership were later found, under DiMasi, strutting imperiously through the sty of Beacon Hill, like the pigs in George Orwell's Animal Farm.
That charge was leveled at them even before scandalous revelations led to DiMasi's resignation in January (see "DiMasi's Sheep," April 11, 2008), and has now taken on increased urgency in the wake of the former Speaker's federal indictment on corruption charges earlier this month.
DiMasi's indictment, after all, paints a shocking portrait of a powerful politician on the take. According to the feds, he and his friends took money from Canadian software maker Cognos, in exchange for the Speaker using and abusing his power to get lucrative state contracts for the company.
While DiMasi has been officially charged only in that matter, many on Beacon Hill suspect additional charges may ultimately be filed. Other actions, such as controversial bill changes that benefited friends of DiMasi or their clients, may still be under investigation. (Indictments on the Cognos affair were made first, they speculate, because a key informant had a paper trail of payments, coming from Cognos and made to DiMasi).
In retrospect, some say, nobody knows what DiMasi's motives might have been when acting on any number of laws or favors, because, for the most part, House members — including many progressive lawmakers from Boston and the immediate area — were willing to obey the Speaker's requests without demanding much in the way of explanations. Many of those lawmakers have since moved up in the power structure under DiMasi, and his chosen successor DeLeo.
That silent obedience, critics charge, has been the great failing of the House liberals: they enabled DiMasi by accepting their roles as quiescent pawns, rubber-stamping the bills and amendments delivered from on high, and quashing any initiatives disapproved by the central office.
In response, some have argued that reform-minded members of the liberal wing of the House have been steadily gaining power, and are actually working to enact change against a recalcitrant body of old-time traditionalists. But that theory is a tough sell when one considers that, even as troubling accusations built against DiMasi during the past year, most of those representatives defended both their leader and the system. They overwhelmingly voted to retain him as Speaker in January; defended his decision to withhold documents from the State Ethics Commission; cheered him as he resigned; rallied behind his hand-picked successor to be Speaker; dragged their feet on reform legislation; supported his aide, Aaron Michlewitz, to succeed DiMasi in his district; and never, ever, spoke ill of the Speaker in public.

- Description
This 15 gigapixel image was taken for photokina 2012, the world's largest trade fair for the photographic and imaging industries, held in Cologne, Germany. It depicts the most scenic part of Cologne's skyline as seen from the former Trade Fair Tower. It was presented at photokina 2012 on the world's largest flat screen (152" - 4,096 x 2,160 pixels). Thanks to the innovative radarTOUCH technolgy, visitors could zoom into the gigantic image and select picture details by moving their arms.
The images itself was taken with a Canon 5DII equipped with a Canon EF 4 500 mm L lens + 1.4x extender (= 700 mm). 2,280 single frames were stitched using Kolor Autopano Pro software. All moving objects like ships were photographed and stitched separately and later inserted into the image.

@Frank Neuperger: All moving objects have been photographed separately afterwards (same camera + lens, but handheld and as quickly as possible). Most consist of several (around 10) frames that were also stitched separately and then inserted into the big images.
With 2200 frames, how did you avoid motion artifacts with the moving boats?
This is a magnificant Gigapan image. Congratulations, digitalbob

Values and CSR
Cheap Monday was born in 2004, as an alternative for people who wanted fashionable jeans but didn't agree with the increasing prices of the brands which were popular at the time.
We started our business in a simple way, but with deep values and beliefs. These values were a part of who we were, and they guided our actions. Our values are about being daring, taking initiative and choosing our own path. But we also value the strength of partnerships and co-operation.
We push our boundaries and want to continue to develop. Some would say we're a bit rebellious, but at the same time we want to play fair and be humble. We care about how our clothes are manufactured, the people involved and about the environment. Here you can read more about what that means.
Working conditions
We see and treat people as of equal value, with respect for human rights and an appreciation of diversity.
We have a Code of Conduct which requires suppliers to follow the law and to respect fundamental human rights, good working conditions and a good working environment.
An important part of our CSR-work is to ensure decent working standards and conditions for the employees of our suppliers. Cheap Mondays objective is that good working conditions and human rights should be respected at our suppliers.
The suppliers that produces our collections has to follow our Code of Conduct (based on the International Labor Organization's conventions on working conditions and rights at work, as well as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) :
No child labour
No forced, bonded or prison labour
No discrimination
No excessive working hours
Payment of at least the minimum wage
Safe and healthy working conditions
A legally binding employment contract
Freedom of association
We say NO to sand blasting.
As part of the textile and fashion industry we strive for a broad environmental and ethical approach to business. We are aware of how chemicals are used in both growing and the production. We understand the burden this places on the environment and on farmers and workers. We apply the precautionary principle in our environmental work and have adopted a preventative approach with substitution of hazardous chemicals.
It's also important to our customers that our products are free of harmful chemicals. We don't sell furs or feather down. We strive to use resources as efficiently as possible and to minimize the waste.
We believe in the power of the collective. To gain and share knowledge and find solutions to drive our business, and the development for the textile business as a whole, forward we team up with organizations and initiatives.
Cheap Monday is part of the H&M-group. H&M is a member of Fair Labor Association- FLA FLA is a collaborative effort of universities, civil society organizations and socially responsible companies dedicated to protecting workers' rights around the world.
Cheap Monday is a member of Sweden Textile Water Initiative (STWI). STWI is a joint learning project between 30 Swedish leading retail and wholesale companies and brands, within the textile and leather sector, and Stockholm International Water Institute. The aim of the learning process is to raise consciousness on water issues in the supply chains and to find guidelines leading to sustainable water management in all the processes from thread and leather to the readymade product.
Cheap Monday is a member of NICE (Nordic Initiative Clean and Ethical). The goal of NICE is that the member companies should be in the leading edge of sustainable fashion.
Chemical restrictions
All our clothes and products must live up to high standards of quality and safety. These are our guidelines at the design stage and throughout the production process. We work in a number of ways to ensure that customers can rely on our products' quality and safety. We fulfill the relevant environmental laws and set a variety of requirements to see that products are free from toxins. We carry out preventative inspections at our suppliers to avoid the use of inappropriate materials.
Random inspections at suppliers and a variety of tests on our clothing products before the products reach the shop are a part of our production process. That includes everything from shrinkage tests, to tests of colourfastness and advanced chemical analyses. Cheap Monday's product policy means that we for example:
Do not use PVC
Do not use Mulesed Marino Wool
Only use skins from stocks reared for meat production
Do not use furs or down due to animal rearing concerns
In addition, we have strict chemicals requirements which mean that we do not use chemicals which could be harmful for the environment or health. The substances which must not be used, or which shall be limited, are included in a long list which is continuously updated according to current guidance or legal requirements. We adhere to European norms and standards, but also to regulations governing product safety in the USA, Canada and Japan and Australia. Some examples are:
Heavy metals, including cadmium, lead and mercury
Formaldehyde, antibacterial substances, nonylphenol ethoxylates and some AZO-dyes
Dyes that cause allergies
Our products are covered by workplace law and the EU's REACH laws on chemicals, as well as other country's product safety regulations in, for example, the USA, Canada, Japan and Australia.
Cheap Monday carries out regular unannounced audits and tests products covered by legal limits. But we go further too, and test for other substances not covered by law, but which we choose to exclude or limit in the products we sell.
Caring for the environment requires a broad view of the issues. As well as keeping a careful eye on the products and the production chain, we're gradually expanding our environmental goals to encompass the whole business.
We choose freight methods that lead to the least carbon dioxide emissions. We dispatch clothes by ship, and when we travel on business we choose an environmental option rather than flying when we can.
Other issues we prioritize include finding ways to use natural resources more effectively, increase recycling and improving energy efficiency in our offices and shops.
Supplier audits
With the help of our Code of Conduct and regular auditing, we make sure that our products are made under a regime of good working conditions. We follow an action plan for auditing our suppliers. We prioritize this work at sites where we see that the needs and the opportunities for improvement are greatest. We have offices established in the locations where manufacturing takes place to get closer to our suppliers. A team of auditors carries out inspections on site in the factories where our clothes are made. They are experienced and trained to audit the practical conditions. During their visits they use a checklist, interviews are carried out with the company management and employees, and the team inspects all the factory spaces. Documents are inspected, including salary lists, timesheets and employment contracts.
We also make unannounced visits. After the visit the team writes a report with proposals for measures to be taken and then there is follow-up to ensure improvements are made. The supplier must develop a suitable plan and timeframe to address problems and set in place the actual solutions.
A supplier who cannot fulfill the basic requirements of our Code of Conduct must agree to carry out improvements in order to remain a supplier to Cheap Monday. We also require suppliers to disclose any subcontractors that may be used in the production of Cheap Mondays products so that we always know where our clothes are being made.
We believe that this combination of information, training and inspection on-site at factories is a good way to address problems and thereby improve conditions. Information on the Code of Conduct has been distributed to our suppliers and we are working to improve awareness of the code in different ways.
We are aware that it is difficult to take control of all parts of the production process through to finished item, so we set requirements that will lead to progress over time. We recognize that improvement can occur in a range of areas over time, for example, within the reporting and accounting of overtime, or within the worker's environment or general welfare.
International standards
A number of initiatives provide guidelines for companies that are taking a wider responsibility for their operations. Cheap Monday fully supports a range of international standards within environment and human rights, including the following:
The UN Declaration of Human Rights
"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." So begins article 1 of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights from 1948. In 2008, the declaration had its 50th anniversary. The United Nations adopted the declaration after the Second World War. It consists of 30 articles, a sense of which is given in the following examples.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, and the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest or be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment
Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and everyone has the right to education

ILO's Eight Core Conventions
The UN organisation, ILO (International Labour Organisation), is charged with promoting good working conditions for all workers in the world. ILO's core conventions from 1998 are:
Freedom of association, freedom to organise and the recognition of the right to collective bargaining.
Elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labour
Effective abolition of child labour
Elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation
The declaration is binding for all ILO members. Even for countries that have not ratified subsidiary conventions.

The UN Millennium Development Goal - halving poverty by 2015
To eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, give children the right to education, increased gender equality, improved health and environment and stop the spread of HIV/aids, malaria and other sicknesses. These goals, together with sustainable development, are part of the UN's Millennium Development Goals, which the world's leaders committed to in 2000 in order to halve poverty by 2015. Partnerships and co-operation between companies, organisations and other actors are important to support these goals in developing nations.
The goals show clearly how companies can act locally in order to take social and environmental responsibility, which promotes and strengthens both companies and regions.

About the Swedish Chemicals Agency and REACH
The EU Chemicals Directive, REACH, entered into force on 1 June 2007. REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances within the EU and on import into the EU. The Swedish Chemicals Agency is responsible for chemical safety and it works for a chemical-free environment. Because chemical regulations are harmonised within the EU, a lot of the agency's work takes place within a European framework.

Multiple Applications For Natural Gas Pumping Station
February 22nd, 2011 – Industrial, Crossovers
One of the defining features of ErectaStep is that it's a single system that fits nearly any stair or platform use case. This photo from a natural gas facility illustrations ErectaStep's range perfectly. Not only are there two crossovers pictured, but we also have a work platform for access to a vent in the back of the facility.
If this plant changes, these components can disassembled and be re-purposed with a socket and open ended wrench. Common bolt holes across components allows the client to order any add on components at any time.
Components used were two seven stair steps, a four and three step stair unit, one tower support, seven handrails and three universal platforms.

"There's no way to hide my straightness, but if people didn't think there was a small chance I was gay, then I wouldn't be doing my job very well. Look at the best ones, guys whose sexuality was always questioned. Bowie. Jagger. Freddie Mercury. I wouldn't be the front man of a band if that question hadn't come up at some point."

"With a lot of guys who are hypersexual, it comes from some sort of disdain or dislike -- they're guys who love getting laid but don't really respect women. That doesn't mean that I haven't been totally promiscuous and slutty in my lifetime, because I have."
"I can single-handedly dispel any ideas that sexuality is acquired. Trust me, you're born with it. My brother is gay, and we knew when he was two. We all knew."
"Perez [Hilton] asked me to do it. I found it strange that one of the biggest bullies on Earth is asking me. I was really not a fan of his. I thought he was part of the problem. In doing this, I was hoping for a change in him, and I saw one. The guy has changed his tune quite a bit. I respect that."
"I can't fuck with American Idol. It's a cultural institution."
"What's always pissed me off about Idol is wanting to mask that, for that to go unspoken. C'mon. You can't be publicly gay? At this point? On a singing competition? Give me a break. You can't hide basic components of these people's lives. The fact that The Voice didn't have any qualms about being completely open about it is a great thing."

What is the best way to maintain the lifespan of an e-collar battery? I have a G3 sport.
I know with various electronics (cell phones, laptops, etc) you will loose battery life over time, which is worse if you "half charge" it. Is this true of e collars as well? I ask because it seems that many people just store them on the charger.

A quantitative human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test measures the specific level of HCG in the blood. HCG is a hormone produced in the body during pregnancy.
Other HCG tests include:
Serial beta HCG; Repeat quantitative beta HCG; Human chorionic gonadotropin blood test - quantitative; Beta-HCG blood test - quantitative; Pregnancy test - blood - quantitative
Blood is drawn from a vein. The vein used is usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The site is first cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic). The health care provider wraps an elastic band around the upper arm to apply pressure to the area and make the vein swell with blood.
Next, the health care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight vial or tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm.
Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed. The puncture site is covered with an adhesive bandage to stop any bleeding.
No special preparation is necessary.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
HCG appears in the blood and urine of pregnant women as early as 10 days after conception. Quantitative HCG measurement helps determine the exact age of the fetus. It can also diagnose abnormal preqnancies, such as ectopic pregnancies, molar pregnancies, and possible miscarriages. It is also used as part of a screening test for Down syndrome.
This test is also done to diagnose abnormal conditions not related to pregnancy that can raise HCG level.
HCG level rises rapidly during the first trimester of pregnancy and then slightly declines.
Higher-than-normal level may indicate:
Lower-than-normal levels may indicate:
There is very little risk in having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks of having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Trout Fever & Tippet Trouble
Playing hooky on Friday, I hit one of the first ponds of my fly fishing youth in Plymouth. There was a break in the weather and rises/ rolling fish all over the pond.
Hopped in the kickboat with my old #6 and paddled towards an area of concentrated rises. As I coasted in fish continued to slurp some tpe of emerger from the surface film I had rigged my floating line with a 12' 7X leader and a #12 Royal Wulff.
With my old trout abilities long since missing, my timing was off as I tried to set too quickly and missed 2 fish. I let the third take the fly and felt my pulse quicken as he headed for the bottom. A second later he was gone. Inspection of the tippet showed a clean break.
This happened 2X more on dry flies.
I won't even get into the sore wrist I have from the vicous strikes I had on my olive & purple wooly bugger.
Didn't land anything. Lost a lot of flies. A spinner on the shore claimed to have 3 brookies in his creel.
Am I doing something wrong with the tippet? I'm tying an improved clinch knot, even went with a trilene knot when I went to the nymphs.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Filling up the thermos with some hot tea & heading out to see what's happening with the pond now, hopefully I can do something right this time.
RE:Trout Fever & Tippet Trouble
Hi Roop:
you mentioned 12' 7X tippet. Seven X is awfully thin line. Could it be that it was old tippet? could it be that the royal wulff was a bit too big to be tied onto 7X? could it be that you were a bit heavy handed?
Personally I use 7X when I'm fishing stuff smaller than #20, and I make sure the tippet is long (i.e. at least 3 feet) so that there will be some stretch in it before it breaks. A barrel knot, or even a double surgeon knot will work fine on tippets. If the knot doesn't close well in one tightening move, cut off and start again. That's all I can think of right now. Lucky dog... at least you went fishing <g>
RE:Trout Fever & Tippet Trouble
Thanks for the response Luis,
I guess I should clarify, I was using, against my better judgement, a 12' tapered leader with a 7X tippet. I scrapped that one for the very reasons you suggested and tied up some of my own like I should have in the first place.
Went back last night (we're not a religous family & my wife & mother in-law had decided to rearrange the furniture - I was asked to leave). As I sat in the truck watching the pond surface, I began to discern from the patterns of the steady rain multiple rises & rolls. I was on the water by 6:30.
Fished a white bunny baitfish w/ silver flash tied on a #8 salmon hook. Had 1 viscous hit & no hook up.
Finally found the emergers. They look like small grey humpys. By the time I got one tied on it was too dark to see my fly. The fish were still rising & slurping.
I've been thoroughly humbled. Saltwater & warmwater fish are definitely a different world.
RE:Trout Fever & Tippet Trouble
Hey Roop.......
I would probably recommend starting at 5x for dry's. I know some would disagree but I am of the belief that you start with a heavier tippet and then go down if no strikes. I think you will be pleasantly surprised that the fish will still strike and you can get them released quickly. Also, some times we forget that if we are using fast action rods, this impacts how we hook fish and how well it can cushion a tippet......either way, I am very jealous of all that activity !!
RE:Trout Fever & Tippet Trouble
5X is definately small enough, maybe 6X. Another thing that I always check is the age of the line. depending where it is stored is can get brittle. Sounds like a good time though.
RE:Trout Fever & Tippet Trouble
I still use an old formula I got from my Dad when it comes to tippet length. It's 4 times the x size, e.g. 7x X 4 = 28 inch minimum, 6x would be 24 inch. It's valid for 5,6,7X tippets, as minimum.
Also, I try not to mix tippet and leader brands, Orvis tippet with SA leaders etc. I have found that some tippet material does not measure to it's stated diameter in a lot of cases and that matching proper diameter is more important than matching X level, depending on the brand. I also never go down more than 2 sizes per section. From 3x to 5x, or 4x to 6x are the more difficult matches since some tippet seems to cut in the main leader line unless a perfect well lubed Dbl. surgeon is done. I hope this helps and that you get back to your pond soon. I will be on my pond next weekend to repeat last Saturday's #14&16 Chironomid feast.
Pete AKA Frenchcreek from Calgary
RE:Trout Fever & Tippet Trouble
Mr. Roop,
i will first kindly refer you to my "Trout Beating" post below--you are not alone in returning fishless from the pond with trout rising everywhere. Since I did the exact same thing you did--leave a streamer in the mouth of what was likely a nice fish, i will offer the following observation: I believe you suffer from striperitis. It is a not so uncommon disease among trout fishermen these days. you likely have imbedded in your cranium the irresistable urge to set the hook pretty hard when you feel a hit, and are used to at least 8 lb. tippet.
I have the same problem my first few trout outings. I cast too hard, set the hook too hard, lose flies and ruin leaders. 7x is too small for these fish. I always use 6x for dries but I am sure you can get away with 4x, and even lower if using streamers.
btw--I am guessing the grey-back emergers were gnats, that was also what I saw hatching.
let me know if you are heading down again this weekend--of course, if it doesn't rain or snow for the rest of the week!
Jeff Ganguly,
still troutless in fly2k
RE:Trout Fever & Tippet Trouble
My answer to "striperitis" is using my old Orvis glass rods. Soft and swishy. No need for the graphite stiffy when fishing trout. After chucking 9 wts. a 5 wt. is nuttin.

One of my tricks to calm down is "become the old man from Montana". By this I mean put an imaginary pipe in your mouth, (no jokes Powers!) a newspaper under your casting arm, and throw the prettiest loop you can tip-curl off the rod without dropping the imaginary newspaper.
The striper cast involves a lot of elbow motion along a straight vector to emphasize the casting stroke. How else would one throw a mop into a headwind? It's helped me to learn to relax after a decade of steelheading and then stripers - to adopt some kind of trick to keep from whiplashing the tippets and trout's necks!
Of course calming down in easier on a stream, the open stillwater tends to tempt the caster into surf mode. I find fishing from canoes, kickboats, or wading on sand/gravel shoals is the best way to combat the "need for speed".
Maybe we should identify a real classic type of stream to hit once or twice a year as a way to remind ourselves of quintessential trout fishing. One suggestion, as Luis offers, is to attend the NEC clave in the Catskills this year in late May / early June.
Luis - do you still have that URL handy?
RE:Trout Fever & Tippet Trouble
Thanks guys, I greatly appreciate the advice.
I like the tippet formula.
The hatch per one of my trout-aholic clients is blue wing olives.
Now that the trout part of my brain is picking up speed & brushing off the cobwebs, I'm pretty sure I was using something smaller than a #14 dry, like an 18 or 20. The 7X is definitely the way to go.
I wish I was using a fast rod. I'm a sentimental romantic at heart and was using my first fly rod, my old Fenwick graphite 6 weight - nice & slow. A faster rod would definitely help when I blow the hook set and try to recast, forgeting I'm using the old rod & wind up throwing a loop you could drive a truck through.
In summary, I'm just a hyperactive hack.
And Dr. Ganguly, email me your phone # & let's see if we can steal a canoe for Sunday afternoon/ evening.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $1.62, or 0.3%, at $458.30, after the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Public Affairs this morning offered a remedy to what it says was Apple's illegal conduct in "conspiring" with publishers in the e-book market. The DoJ suggests Apple terminate its relationship with publishers and not enter into any deals that would tend to lift the prices Apple charges. And, it would force Apple to let Amazon.com (AMZN) and others include links to their own stores from their apps on the iPhone and iPad, as they once did.
Apple on July 10th was found guilty of violating Section 1 of the Sherman Act.
Speaking of Apple, Raymond James's Tavis McCourt this morning writes that not only did the company's iPhone take share in the U.S. in Q2, but data from research firm Kantar Worldpanel suggest "the iPhone is far more resilient this year than last year in Europe."
"It is unclear if the slightly better seasonality in the early summer season this year in Europe is due to the iPhone 5 becoming more relevant as LTE is launched more broadly or whether Apple is taking modest pricing actions to gain share – or both," he writes.
Shares of Dell (DELL) are up 64 cents, or 5%, at $13.60, after the company announced that its board has agreed to revise a merger agreement to ease Michael Dell's propose LBO. In return for Mike Dell raising his buyout price a dime to $13.75, and also paying shareholders a special one-time dividend of 13 cents a share, on top of the usual quarterly 8 cents per share, the board agreed to discount non-voting shares, making for a simple majority of those voting their shares.
The vote, which was scheduled to happen today, has been postponed to September 12th, and the board set a new record date of August 13th.
On CNBC this morning, David Faber reported unnamed sources have told him that "Michael Dell is funding the special dividend out of his own pocket."
"Mr. Dell is going to accept what I am told is a lower valuation on the shares he is rolling into the deal, thereby funding the dividend," said Faber. "[Privte equity firm] Silver Lake are not going to put in a penny more other than $13.75; all of this of course done to get a change in the voting standard."
Shares of LinkedIn (LNKD) are up $19.95, over 9%, at $232.95, after the company yesterday afternoon reported Q2 revenue and earnings per share that topped consensus, forecast the current quarter's revenue below expectations, and raised its full year revenue and profit outlook.
Price targets are going up all around, and the stock received at least one upgrade this morning, with Cantor Fitzgerald's Youssef Squali raising his rating to Buy from Hold, with a $250 price target, writing "we don't' mind being forced to do so in rare cases where a company keeps outperforming expectations and where the long-term outlook keeps getting better with every passing quarter."
Shares of chip maker Audience (ADNC) continue their fall this morning, down $2.76, or 22%, at $9.83, after the company last night beat Q2 expectations but missed consensus estimates for its Q3 view. The Benchmark Company's Gary Mobley, reviewing the carnage this morning, reiterates a Hold rating, and cuts his price target to $12 form $15, writing that he is tempted to upgrade the stock to buy after the drop, because management remarks suggest "growth (and profitability) could resume as soon as Q4," but that at the same time he's reluctant because "inventory adjustments for chip companies most typically are not one-quarter events."

This sub rocks for such a thin design! We ordered a second one because we were so pleased with the first. They fit into a slim customized box for '82 Corvette and still left plenty of space in the back. As a mater of fact, the bass was so overpowering we had to set them at about 50% so the music sounded right with the pioneer 6X9's and 4x6's.

This webpage is meant as a guide/resource for advisors participating in Student Conduct Review Board (SCRB) hearings. If any questions persist after reviewing the information below, please contact the Director of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
Philosophy of the Code of Conduct
Gettysburg College seeks to establish and maintain an environment that provides for the development of the young adult as a whole person with an emphasis on inquiry, integrity, and mutual respect. The College expects its students to conduct themselves in all places and at all times in such a manner as to show respect for themselves, others, and the community. The Gettysburg College community fosters respect for the rights and dignity of all residents, including members of both majority and minority groups. Gettysburg College students are members of the academic College community, the greater Gettysburg community, and global society and are expected to abide by the College's policies at all times.
Role of the Advisor
As the advisor you participate in the hearing with your advisee, however the advisor may not address the SCRB. You can advise him or her prior to the hearing, and quietly during the procedure if you feel it is necessary. The student may request a brief recess to consult with his or her advisor. The advisor is really there for support, and to help student through what can be a very stressful time. The Director of Student Rights and Responsibilities will contact each advisor prior to the hearing to verify that the date, time, and location of the hearing has been relayed by the student, to answer any questions, and to communicate any changes, if needed. You will want to arrive at least ten (10) minutes before the hearing is scheduled to begin. It is expected that you have communicated with your advisee prior to the hearing to help him or her by answering any questions and being as supportive as possible. If you cannot commit to working with the student to prepare for the hearing, you should encourage him or her to find another advisor.
Hearing Procedures
It is important to differentiate the College's hearing process from the legal process. The hearing process is educational in nature. The process is working to determine responsibility and not guilt, and sanctions are largely educational. The chair of the hearing is an administrator of the College and will guide the hearing process. He or she will follow a script to be certain that all parties understand his or her rights and responsibilities, and have an equal opportunity to present information. The complainant (the person bringing charges forward), the respondent, and their respective advisor(s) are present for the entire proceeding. The respondent(s) will be asked to plea either responsible or not responsible for a violation of the code. The respondent should consider his or her plea before entering the hearing. Following the plea, the complainant(s) and respondent(s) will have the opportunity to give an opening statement, answer and ask clarifying questions, and make a closing statement. Witnesses will also provide statements during the hearing. A DPS representative may also be present during the hearing to present investigation information.
After pleas have been entered and all statements have been made, the board will excuse all parties and deliberate to determine responsibility and, if necessary, assign sanctions. The respondent(s) will receive their sanctions at this time if found responsible for a violation of the code. The chair will then call in the complainant(s) and respondent(s) separately to discuss the findings. The chair of the hearing will ask the respondent to schedule a meeting with the Director of SRR to discuss the outcome of the hearing, and the appeals process.
As the advisor, you will wait in the lobby for your advisee to return. Your advisee will share the outcome of the hearing. You are encouraged to remain in the lobby through the duration of deliberations.
Further Information
For more information on the hearing processes, including FAQs, please visit the for complainant, or for respondent sections of the website. If you have further questions, please contact the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities at 717.337.6998.

Supplier Support Rating award winners judged by 108 Airbus operators
On the occasion of the annual Airbus Suppliers Awards ceremony held during the Paris Air Show 2013, Didier Lux, Airbus Executive Vice President Customer Services, presented awards to recognise Systems & Equipment suppliers to Airbus who have achieved outstanding levels of customer satisfaction.
The yearly 'Supplier Support Rating' survey is designed to recognize performance and commitment to customer satisfaction, as well as to identify areas for support improvement. To determine the shortlist, the rating process included inputs from 108 participating Airbus operators. The awards are divided into two categories: 'Gold' and 'Silver':
Gold Award:
Airbus Engineering Avionics; Airbus KID Systeme/Airbus Cabin Systems; Diehl Aerospace; Rockwell Collins Avionics; and Thales Avionics.
Silver Award:
Nord Micro; Meggitt Sensing Systems (formerly Vibrometer); EADS Sogerma (Technical Seats); and Diehl Aircabin.
Most Improved Supplier Award: Diehl Comfort Modules (formerly Dasell).
The major equipment suppliers are rated on three criteria: The demonstrated ability to provide continuously reliable equipment and the associated technical support; to ensure operational support services; and to provide competitive direct maintenance costs.
"Customer voice and customer feedback are key for the industry, and this rating exercise is a 'win-win' approach," said Lux. He adds: "Once more, the high number of participating operators in the survey clearly shows that the Airbus Supplier Support Rating is setting the standards within our industry."
The next rating cycle will be launched during the final quarter of 2013. Airbus monitors suppliers ensuring they instigate dedicated actions and thus continuously improve their own performance, and benefiting the reliability of the Airbus fleet as a whole.
Airbus is the world's leading aircraft manufacturer of passenger airliners, ranging in capacity from 100 to more than 500 seats. Airbus has design and manufacturing facilities in France, Germany, the U.K. and Spain, and subsidiaries in the U.S., China, Japan and in the Middle East. In addition, it provides an international network of customer support and training centres.

Spokane district preparing for charter schools
SPOKANE, Wash. - Washington voters made it clear they want a change in the way public schools operate with the potential passage of Charter School Initiative 1240, so what could that mean for Spokane schools?
If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again. That's what charter school supporters did after three failed attempts to bring these schools to our state. Apparently the fourth time's the charm.
Now Spokane Schools Superintendent Dr. Shelley Redinger is ready to get the ball rolling.spokane charter school
"I do feel strongly that Spokane public schools needs to be in the mix," Redinger said.
Dr. Redinger says that means they'll apply to bring a charter school to Spokane.
"It's kind of déjà vu for me. When I was a superintendent in Oregon the charter school law passed and we applied and were able to receive the charter school," she explained.
Redinger saw success in that Oregon charter school and now hopes to bring the same results to Spokane. As for what this school will be like it all depends on the community needs.
"We have already started a listening and learning survey and learning from the community what types of different programs they would like to see when we apply for our Spokane charter school," she said.
It was a hard-fought battle though, and local teacher's union president Jenny Rose said she's disappointed by the results.
"It's going to draw money away from our local public schools and that part is really going to hurt our kids," Rose said.
"It's only a few each year about eight schools a year so the financial or monetary impact is not real great to public education," Redinger said.
The schools would be free, open to the public, run by a non-profit and governed by a charter school board.
"You would also have another board that is operated separately that reports to the school board so they have a little bit more autonomy but they still report to the school board," Redinger said.
This initiative would allow 40 charter schools to open up statewide over the next five years. They'd receive the same amount of money per student as other schools, which is about $5,800.
"Washington's approach was well thought out, not completely opening the doors, piloting programs, evaluating as they go," Redinger said.
The initiative will cost the state about $3 Million to implement over the next five years, and if approved, a potential Spokane charter school could open as early as next fall.

Everyone mentions jc copelands penalty, but bama didn't get called when Mingo went flying!......one of the worst calls was Aaron murray getting rocked after a turnover with the ref watching. CBS even said it should have been a penalty. If I were richt, I would have made sure mccarron was rocked later on.....I really struggle watching bama games, get too mad about penalties not being called.
GET OVER IT!!! They are good and they beat LSU. The blame game around here is fricking pathetic.
We beat them last year even with more penalties.
The difference between the two teams is a few well timed ball placements for or against during a game. Add on well timed close calls going for or against, and you get the point.
Try explaining why the review official didn't over turn the Peterson interception out of bounds call. The review was self-evident to any unbias pair of eyes.
Placing three steps in bounds isn't enough when LSU plays Bama.
Excellent points Stingray and duly noted. But truthfully WHO GIVES A SHIT! If LSU just takes care of business and wins their one-on-one matchup against Ala. in 2012 we are headed to the BCS for 2nd straight season instead of the mighty Crimson Tide. They beat us on our home field! I know they played a wuss eastern division schedule compared to LSU but they still deserve to be in the BCS title game in 2012 instead of LSU. Enough already. Just win BABY! We did not..... Always next year! Geaux Tigers!

Tilghman names committee to guide health and well-being efforts
Posted June 1, 2006; 10:54 a.m.
President Shirley M. Tilghman has appointed a committee to carry forward the work of the Task Force on Health and Well-Being.
The Advisory Board to Healthier Princeton met for the first time in May. The 24-member group includes students, faculty, alumni, administrators and outside experts. It is co-chaired by Janet Dickerson, vice president for campus life, and Robert Durkee, vice president and secretary, who also co-chaired the Task Force on Health and Well-Being.
The task force, appointed by Tilghman in fall 2003, issued interim reports in January and June 2004 and a final report in November 2004. It proposed several significant changes in University policies and programs to address the health care needs and promote the health and well-being of students, faculty and staff. Recommendations in the final report included: a substantial increase in the size of the University Health Services staff; major improvements of the facilities at McCosh Health Center and Dillon Gymnasium; appointment of a work-life coordinator; and a considerable expansion of the child care opportunities available to members of the University community.
An outgrowth of the task force's work has been the creation of "Healthier Princeton," an integrated program of health promotion/education, disease detection/prevention and fitness/wellness services for students, faculty and staff. Healthier Princeton will be based on an assessment of the academic, cultural, physical and social environments of the campus and their impact upon the health and well-being of all members of the University community. The new committee will advise the offices responsible for this initiative and the senior officers of the University.
Members of the committee are: Megan Adams, director of risk management and assistant treasurer; Ruth Berkelman, a 1973 alumna who is the Rollins Professor of Public Health and director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness and Research at Emory University; Thomas Breidenthal, dean of religious life; Gray Ellrodt, a 1970 alumnus who is chair of the Department of Medicine at Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, Mass.; Kenneth Jamison, a graduate student; Richard Krugman, a 1963 alumnus who is dean of the University of Colorado School of Medicine; Sanjeev Kulkarni, professor of electrical engineering and master of Butler College; David Leach, associate director of athletics for campus recreation; Esther Lee, an undergraduate; Alison Nelson, director of benefits in the Office of Human Resources; Christina Paxson, professor of economics and public affairs; Terri Harris Reed, vice provost for institutional equity and diversity; Dwayne Rex, senior maintenance mechanic in facilities; Lauren Robinson-Brown, director of communications; Inez Scribner, president of the auxiliary to the McCosh Infirmary; Karin Sigloch, a graduate student; Daniel Silverman, chief medical officer and executive director of University Health Services; Lianne Sullivan-Crowley, vice president for human resources; Paula Swinford, director of health promotion and prevention services at the University of Southern California and former president of the American College Health Association; Brigham Walker, an undergraduate; Garth Walters, director of environmental health and safety; and Karen Woodbridge, director of community relations in the Office of Community and Regional Affairs.

Seccond base, or maybe I'll get called on to play shortstop sometimes.
I wouldn't mind getting to play the outfield and make some awesome catches out there, but I love playing strategy on the infield to catch every baserunner I can!
2nd base is where a heck of a lot of the action is!

Very Good Tweak, Thanks for making this post!
I cannot find this tweak on cydia. Help!
This is cool, but Apple keeps the intrusive notification (my opinion) because they want to make sure the user is aware of their battery percentage. If you're text messaging or on the phone, they want you to Dismiss to verify you're aware of this. I prefer the intrusive just because I want it to make me stop what I'm doing and theoretically force me to plug my phone in before it dies. Because if it does die, I'll find myself waiting 15 minutes for it to turn back on.
Thank Jeff from iDB... I heard him wishing for this last week in one of his vids on youtube and now it just so happens someone has made it. Thanks Jeff and the Dev, MUCH NEEDED!

McCain: Benghazi worse than Watergate
posted at 1:21 pm on October 29, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
When I looked at the slate of guests on the Sunday talk shows yesterday morning, there seemed to be an effort to keep the focus on the election, rather than Benghazi and the shocking lack of action from the US during the seven-hour firefight at our consulate. Only Chris Wallace broached the subject on his own, but on CBS' Face the Nation, Bob Schieffer had to know that by inviting John McCain to discuss the election and Hurricane Sandy on a segment all to himself, McCain would surely find a way to work the subject into the conversation — and McCain did not disappoint:
Slate notes that McCain used the "W" word — Watergate — in describing "the worst cover-up or incompetence I have ever observed in my life." The Weekly Standard has a longer quote, sharply criticizing Barack Obama for his lack of candor and seriousness in this scandal, and McCain asks the classic Watergate question:
You know, this administration is very good at touting and giving all the details like when they got Bin Laden. But now, we know that there were tapes, recordings inside the consulate during this fight, and they've gotten—they came—the F.B.I. finally got in and took those, and now they're classified as "top secret." Why would they be top secret? So the president went on various shows, despite what he said he said in the Rose Garden, about terrorist acts, he went on several programs, including "The View" including "Letterman" including before the U.N., where he continued to refer, days later, many days later, to this as a spontaneous demonstration because of a hateful video. We know that is patently false. What did the president know? When did he know it? And what did he do about it?
Now was McCain alone, as the Weekly Standard reports at more length. While the other talk shows tried to shift focus away from Benghazi, their guests had other ideas. Even Carly Fiorina joined the effort, forcing the issue to the forefront on NBC's Meet the Press when challenged on the subject of trust:
On the issue of trust, what is going on with regard to Libya? I mean here we have an extraordinary thing where the President comes out on Friday and says I directed that everything possible should be done to aid our embassy under attack. That attack went on for seven hours, we now know that Secretary Of Defense saying he denied requests for help over that seven hours. Where is the leadership? But it's a trust issue, it's a trust issue.
It's a trust issue, all right — and not just for Obama, but for the media that seems to be running interference for him. Kudos, by the way, to Bob Schieffer, who didn't attempt to change the subject at all once McCain changed it for him, and I suspect didn't want to change the subject back.

Bar Harbor's beautified shoreline serves ecological purpose as well
A $9,000 shoreline restoration project at Bar Harbor Supper Club on Gull Lake in Lake Shore serves several purposes:
• Most important, it effectively captures water runoff from the parking lot and buildings so that harmful sediments like fertilizer don't reach Gull Lake.
• It is an effort of many people from different entities.
• It is a beautiful sight.
The joint project involved the DNR, Crow Wing County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) and Bar Harbor owner John Allen, his family, staff and customers.
The SWCD obtained $3,200 in grant money, which Bar Harbor matched, for the first phase of the project, which included a 16- by 375-foot wide buffer from the lake to the top of the hill across the length of the property.
A crew from the DNR, SWCD, Minnesota Conservation Corps, Bar Harbor and the Allen family planted more than 3,000 native plants.
The project was started in summer 2012, and Allen opted to extend it this past summer at Bar Harbor's cost after another building and pavilion were built. He praised the work of Heather Baird, aquatic habitat specialist with the DNR in Brainerd, and Darren Mayers, SWCD district technician.
"It met with such favorable review of residents on the lake and customers from an ecological standpoint and aesthetic standpoint," Allen said.
Baird created the native species plant list for the project and said the DNR contributed $1,000 toward those plants.
"We use native species because they are tolerant of our extreme conditions — hot summers and the dry summers we've been having, and the cold winters," Baird said. "They're good for pollinators, too."
Allen was encouraged to plant the entire hill leading to the water, rather than just a strip along the shoreline.
"Why mow the hill?" Baird asked. "That's something we're trying to get across to our homeowners and business owners — you can treat your runoff from impervious surfaces but have it look good, too."
Ron Faust, Gull Chain of Lakes Association (GCOLA) board member, praised the project.
"It's just spectacular and it's a fabulous demonstration project because most of the people who come by boat there live on the lake," he said. "We're hoping when people see that they'll consider redoing their own shores in the same fashion because there are multiple advantages to restoring a shore like that."
Most notable, such shoreline restorations protect the water quality by preventing fertilizer and debris from entering the water through runoff, Faust said.
"At Bar Harbor you can see the habitat they create. It's covered with bees and other types of creatures that wouldn't be attracted to Kentucky bluegrass if that's all that's there," Faust said. "One of the goals of our program is to attract habitat."
He noted there's zero habitat in stone riprap used on shores.
GCOLA has more grant money from the DNR for use in such shoreland restoration projects. Anyone interested can contact Faust at email@example.com.

A tender, melt-in-your-mouth crust tops the sweet light and dark cherries and blueberries in this cobbler. The secret to this easy crust is that it comes from a mix!
For a fresh fruit touch, substitute 4 cups coarsely chopped Granny Smith apples for the dark sweet cherries and bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is deep golden brown.
Pick up a bottle of grated lemon peel in your spice aisle. It's perfect to have on hand for recipes like this one that uses canned fruit.

What are the best-tasting juice boxes? The Daily Meal's editors put them to the test.
The juice box has been a lunchbox staple for a long time, providing kids with the hydration and nutrition necessary to get through the school day — or so parents thought. Recent studies on the dangers of drinking too many high-sugar, high-calorie beverages have helped to steer parents away from the mighty boxes.
There are more types than ever on the market today, promising everything from great to great nutrition, all wrapped up in a sensible serving size. Yet sensationalist claims scream at you from the box, making it difficult to figure out which ones offer real nutrition and which don't. Then, of course, there is the matter of taste. Just because a drink with carrots and berries is appealing to Mom or Dad, doesn't mean a kid is going to like it.
When choosing a juice box, it's helpful to remember a few juice guidelines, as suggested by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Infants less than a year old should not be drinking any , kids ages 1 to 6 years old shouldn't exceed 6 ounces of fruit juice per day, and older children from ages 7 to 18 shouldn't consume more than 8 or 12 ounces per day, ideally divided into two servings. Along with causing weight gain, excessive juice consumption can lead to cavities, malnutrition, and diarrhea. If you have more concerns about your child and fruit juice, it's best to talk to a pediatrician who knows you child and their specific case.
In order to figure out the tastiest, the sweetest, and the weirdest options out there, The Daily Meal editors taste-tested 10 different brands. For this test, we looked at fruit punch varieties from major brands available across the U.S., none of which contained high-fructose corn syrup. Some drinks had sneaky portions of vegetables added in and some were diluted with water, and although the juices are high in sugar, most of the sugars are naturally occurring and provide a way to increase fruit (and possibly vegetable) intake with little effort.
|Whole Foods Fruit Punch
|Back to Nature Fruit Punch
|Apple & Eve Very Berry
|Earth Wise Orchards Red
|Trader Joe's Fruit Punch
|Capri Sun Super V Apple
|V8 Fusion Fruit Punch
|Honest Kids Fruit Punch
|V8 Fusion Apple
|RW Knudson Sensible Sippers
After the taste test there were clear passing grades, and some failing grades. (After all, our taste buds have matured a bit since the days of juice boxes at lunch.) The others got lost in the middle of the pack. The editors ranked them on a scale from 60 to 100 percent (just like you're back in school!).
V8 Fusion Apple - Score: 58.2% (Pictured above left)
While this one also ranked pretty low, it wasn't quite as reviled as RW Knudsen Sensible Sippers Fruit Punch. The highest mark it received was a 75 percent.
The main issue was its cloudy, artificial appearance. While the neon orange color might not be an issue in a box, no one could properly guess the taste, with ideas ranging from pear to banana. Even if you're eager to sneak some vegetable servings into your juice consumption, there are tastier vegetable juices to choose from.
As one tester summed up, the juice "smells awful, looks awful, very artificial." Guess this won't be making the tyke's lunchbox.
1 Juice box (6.75 ounces): 60 calories, 12 grams of sugar
(See more: The Best and Worst Frozen Waffles)
Honest Kids Super Fruit Punch - Score: 63.9%
Honest Kids ranked quite a bit higher than V8 Apple and Sensible Sippers, but its watered-down taste was its downfall.
The editors didn't appreciate the diluted flavor, calling it "creepy diluted," and complained about a strange sweetness that "tastes vaguely like bubblegum." Some taste-testers also commented on a tropical flavor with hints of coconut and pineapple.
In addition to the low calorie count, this juice box contains the lowest amount of sugar, along with a variety of fruit juices.
1 pouch (6.75 ounces): 40 calories, 10 grams of sugar
V8 Fusion Fruit Punch - Score: 64.5%
Scoring quite a bit higher than V8 Fusion apple juice, V8 fruit punch got an average of a 64.5 percent score.
With a taste that wasn't as sweet as the other V8 — several tasters noted a salty flavor — it's a better choice if you're looking for a fruit-vegetable juice hybrid. There was a moment of redemption for V8 Fusion fruit punch with the note "tastes like a lollipop." Still, editors commented on its cough medicine, "Robitussin flavor," which caused V8 fruit punch to lose major points.
1 Juice Box (6.75 ounces): 70 calories, 17 grams of sugar
Capri Sun Super V Apple- Score: 67.2%
Landing in the middle of the pack, Capri Sun (the drink of many editors' childhoods) earned points for its notably fruity flavor.
Some editors thought it tasted almost grape-like, while others noticed a hint of cherry. People found this one pretty inoffensive and "middle of the road"; it's a safe bet your child won't mind finding this in their lunchbox.
A word of warning: the straw is tricky.1 box (6 ounces): 70 calories, 14 grams of sugar
Apple & Eve Very Berry- Score: 71.1%
Apple & Eve's Very Berry juice box broke the top three with a score of 71 percent.
Editors found it to have an inoffensive flavor that was sweet, without being overkill. With comments like "decent," "meh," and "middle of the road," this juice box won't be winning any flavor contests, but it also won't make you sick. It's a safe bet that your kid won't complain if this is in their lunch box.1 box (6.75 ounces): 100 calories, 21 grams of sugar
Back to Nature Fruit Punch- Score: 75.1%
This was one of the high-scorers, and our editors enjoyed a flavor that was more potent than the ones they had previously tasted.
Despite the more powerful flavor, our editors still complained that this juice was too sweet, describing it as "sugar water," and "pretty sweet but tasty."
Two people gave this juice box a score of 90 but some low scores in the 60s brought its average down. While it had a more powerful taste, many editors also noted that it was still a bit too sugary. (And with a whopping 19 grams of sugar, we can imagine why.)1 pouch (6 ounces): 80 calories, 19 grams of sugar

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
We took lessons sponsored by an Orvis flyshop in Fairfield Maine. The main instructor was Jim Rusher of Orvis; the second instructor's first name was Kevin, but I forgot his last name. They taught the basics very well. Both seem to use their spey casting for Atlantic salmon in Gaspe or trout, not stripers.
Right now I am using floating lines with a short furled sinking leader followed by a fluro leader. I'm picking up a Windcutter versa tip today and will get a skagit head line later per Bob Meiser's recommendations for one of my rods that I got from him.
Generally the flies I use are in the 2 to 2/0 range -- deceivers, clousers, grocery pollock flies, some lobster flies, etc
Couple of questions...
You are Spey casting for stripers correct? What type of line (sink/float/intermediate) and fly (hook size/design) do you want to use?
Sinking tips and lines really don't need any more than a few feet of leader. Not just the leader but the line design itself impacts the ability to cast up striper sized flies.
The Skagit systems are generally most capable of throwing big flies because these Spey lines concentrate the grains in a more stout, shorter section of line thus dissipating less energy for the sake of finesse like long belly lines.
The leader is an important thing to consider, but first think of the line type and fly, then the line system, then the rod to match the line system, then finally the leader.
Where / who did you take the lessons from?
Striper leaders
Titleguy and I took speycasting lessons this past weekend, and it was suggested that we use short leaders for heavy striper flies. So the question is, how short of a leader do you use to haul up big/heavy striper flies on a speyrod? Someone suggested 4 feet, but that seems awful short.
