Regional Setting
The Native Americans know the mountain as Tahoma or Takhoma or Ta- co- bet, names meaning "Snow Mountain" or the "Mountain that was God" or "Place where the Waters Begin". These names are more descriptive and perhaps capture the mountain's impact on the surrounding region better than the European moniker "Rainier", a name bestowed on the mountain by Captain Vancouver in 1792 in honor of his friend and superior officer, Rear Admiral Peter Rainier.
In terms of its potential impact on human populations, this "mountain of fire and ice" is the most dangerous volcano in the Cascade Range. In the shadow of Mount Rainier, live over 1.5 million people. The glaciers on Mount Rainier provide a steady flow of water for hydroelectric power in the region, regardless of the season. However, should an eruption occur, these 35 acres of ice and snow could melt and send debris flows towards Puget Sound and the Seattle/Tacoma metropolitan area.
General Geology
Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano, a composite volcano created through successive eruptions of lava and pyroclastic flows. It is one of more than a dozen stratovolcanoes perched on older rocks of the Cascade Range (Figure 3). The impressive eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980, demonstrated the explosive nature of these types of volcanoes.
The Cascade volcanoes are aligned in a north- south direction that roughly parallels the Pacific coastline for about 500 miles (800 km). The volcanic mountains of the Cascade Range are a small segment of the circum- Pacific volcanic belt, or "Ring of Fire," that encircles the Pacific Ocean. Volcanoes in the Ring of Fire mark converging lithospheric plate boundaries where dense, oceanic crust is subducted beneath the less dense, overriding continental crust or an island arc. The volcanoes in Washington and Oregon are the result of the collision between the oceanic Juan de Fucca plate, traveling northeast, and the continental North American plate, moving westward.
The prevailing rock type of the Cascade volcanoes is andesite, an igneous rock of intermediate composition between light- colored, silica- rich rocks (e.g., rhyolite) and dark, basaltic rocks that contain very little silica. Andesite is typically dark gray or greenish black in color and is composed of approximately equal amounts of light- colored minerals like plagioclase feldspars and dark minerals like hornblende, olivine, and pyroxenes.
The north- south trend of Cascade volcanoes is believed to be located above the zone of melting deep within the crust where rocks in the subducting plate begin to melt. Magma rises from this zone to erupt at the surface as lava.
Lithospheric plates moving past one another generate earthquakes. Few large- scale earthquakes have occurred in historic time along the Pacific Northwest coastal area, but severe earthquakes accompanied by tsunamis have occurred in prehistoric time. The Cascade subduction zone may be storing strain energy that, when released, could result in catastrophic earthquakes and tsunamis along the Washington and Oregon coasts.
The landscape of Mount Rainier is complex, but its origins are simple: fire and ice. The mountain first erupted about half a million years ago and as recently as in the 1840s. Two large eruptions took place, first about 2,300 years ago and another 1,000 years ago. About 90 percent of Mount Rainier's eruptions have been in the form of lava flows, which is unusual for a composite cone (Harris et al., 1995). In contrast, most of the other Cascade volcanoes, including Mount St. Helens, have had a more violent history with few lava flows and a high volume of pyroclastics. Much of the ash and pumice on Mount Rainier's slopes came from Mount St. Helens during explosive episodes like the 1980 eruption.
The mountain's great height and northerly location allowed glaciers to cut deeply into its volcanic deposits. Today, steam from the volcano creates ice caves near the summit of the volcano, and in the past, devastating debris flows and mudflows were triggered by lava and rock debris from Mount Rainier's eruptions. The consistency of these mudflows on Mount Rainier is like wet cement. The collapse of unstable parts of the volcano has led to additional debris flows. At one time, the summit rose perhaps 2,000 ft (600 m) higher than it does today. About 5,700 years ago, an eruption took off the top of the mountain and left a depression 1.25 miles (2.01 km) in diameter. The mountain is a history of lava flows, lahars, mudflows, pyroclastic explosions, and ash falls mixed with glacial debris, glacial outwash floods, and rockfalls.

I will be praying for everyone as best as possible.
Prayers and best thoughts to all who need them.
If there are a few prayers left over save one for me. My husband (american) and I (Canadian) have been living apaprt since September because of immigration processes. finally this weekend I am going home to PA to hopefully be with my husband for good. We are just hoping everything goes smoothly at the border. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.
Can I please request a few prayers?
My mom's been out of work for about a month and a half, and we're like really broke. She finally got a call yesterday saying she has an interview on Friday.. Could you please pray she gets the job?

Thanks .
My aunt recently passed away from lymphoma. She was from my dad's side. I'm not really close with anyone from my dad's side so I didn't expect it to hit me so hard.. but it did. My grandma (her mother) lives with us. She hasn't openly grieved but I can tell she's hurting quite a bit too. I'd appreciate any prayers you guys could spare.. especially for my grandma.

I would like to request a prayer request for my sister.
I do have a prayer request while I'm here
My sister has been out of a job for over 2 years - she is a teacher and was teaching at an intercity Catholic school and they just did away with each top grade every year and her number was up 2 years ago - she has interviewed several places and is unable to get a job. The school system she lives in - someone told her they have such great subs that they never hire from their sub list b/c they want to keep the good subs! She had 2 other interviews and they have already filled one position. While she has 10+ years experience of teaching she has only taught at Catholic schools and public schools don't look at teaching in that system as experience, so she's a "new teacher" but with 10 years experience. The company my brother in law works for wants to transfer him but if my sister gets a job that will at least keep them here is what they are thinking. My mom is freaking out b/c she doesn't want them that far away! My sister is getting very frustrated to say the least.
In addition, she also has been having a lot of foot pain and went to the dr. and found out she has a bone spur on her heel and arthritis. (join the club )
She was waiting yesterday for the dr. to call her to so she could be referred to a podiatrist but they didn't call her and when she called them there wasn't anything on her chart and the dr is out of the office until the 2th. She is getting depressed and discouraged.

My mom's got another job interview Thursday.. Prayers?
My father needs some PT prayers. I have probably mentioned before that he was diagnosed with CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) some years ago. His oncologist only does chemo when his count is within a certain threshold, and then he really hits it hard.
He will be getting chemo today, Wednesday & Thursday this week. I was away at college the last time he had chemo, so I haven't been around him during this difficult time. I hope that my mother & I can support him during this trying period. I would really appreciate it if you could keep him in your prayers. He needs strength of spirit as well as healing. Although CLL is not the type of cancer that is ever "cured", he hopes to manage it and maintain a good quality of life. It has been nearly 2 years since his last chemo treatment, so we hope that this treatment will help him maintain a similar length "remission" period.
I've been checking this thread periodically and all PTers and family/friends mentioned here remain in my daily prayers.
Thank you.
Many thanks to Roxyluvsme13 & k9krazee for my great new siggy!!

I am keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers.
I could use a few myself - my father-in-law is in the hospital, we are not sure what is wrong with him right now except that his sugar is extremely high. Also, a friend of mine at work had surgery yesterday and the doctor messed up and clipped an air sac. She's in a lot of pain and the doctors aren't sure what to do about it yet. Thanks everyone!
Prayers for everyone!

My sister heard from the 2nd school that she interviewed for - and it was a thanks but no thanks. She knew a couple people in that system that put in good words for her to no avail. She is really starting to sound depressed and down and that is so unlike her. I am not sure where she is going to go from here b/c she hasn't had any other interviews.Originally Posted by shais_mom

We are needing urgent prayer and thoughts for a devout Foster mama of cats, named Lisa.
She does so much to help cats, she recently helped place 40 cats out of a 100 cat situation.
She has cancer, and is in the hospital. It is very serious, they tell her husband that she is 'shutting down'.
She has a soul kitty named Julius, and several other cats, and a dog.
She is only 49.
She needs a miracle.

Late this afternoon I depart for the gleaming modernism that is Dulles International Airport, thence to Munich, thence to Berlin (in case you somehow missed my obsessive posting on the topic, I'm giving a talk at the conference "Queer Again? Power, Politics and Ethics." Roderick Ferguson, Judith Halberstam, José Muñoz and Susan Stryker are my fellow keynoters, and I am really looking forward to hearing what they have to say).
A long night ahead of me, and I can envision already how it will unfold: a darkened cabin, my fellow passengers retreating from the long journey by withdrawal into headphones and the flicker of films six months out of date. I'll be scribbling at the printout of my conference keynote, hoping that somewhere in the turbulence that every plane encounters over the deep Atlantic some last minute inspiration will descend. It's not likely, of course: mostly I'll be tinkering with words on that dark plane, not ideas. If I'm lucky I will experience an hour of sleep before we descend. I know this because it is starting to become a small routine: that's how I spent my flight towards York in March, towards Leeds last summer...
I'm anxious about my nonexistent German speaking skills, my feeling like an outsider at the conference itself, my never having been to Germany before (and not for lack of invitations; maybe I will post on this eventually). As I prepare to depart, Katherine is of course coming down with a cold. Alex has lots of homework and a busy week. Wendy has a big meeting to run downtown, and so the kids will be staying with friends for two nights while I'm away. I'm also endorsing six ACLS applications, have at least four job letters to write for friends and graduate students, an essay due at month's end on the Jews of York, a symposium presentation to compose for Barcelona at the end of October, essays to read for the New Critical Modes issue of postmedieval I'm co-editing with Cary Howie (and an abecedarium to write for that as well). AND I have a trip soon to Buffalo to give a paper, and from there fly right to St Louis for the NCS program board meeting. Then an essay on Chaucer's Franklin's Tale due in November and another (on stones as organisms) in December.
Having written all that out, I've changed my mind about that eight hours of encapsulated solitude that will wing me to Germany. I'm OK with it. Maybe I'll just have a drink and forget that this thing called obligation exists. Yes, I may even don some headphones and watch a film six months out of date.
Auf Wiedersehen!

There is not much German you need to know. Just remember this very important phrase:
Ich möchte gern ein Bier/Wein/Schnapps bitte.
Then, with your drink in front of you, all will be well.

Berlin is amazing! So jealous! And you needn't worry. The ex-West Germans you will meet have been speaking English for decades, and do so beautifully. The ex-East Germans are catching up still, but they are functional. And that's just the old people! The kids will be fluent in English and several other languages you remember a linguistics professor mentioning once.

A friend of mine asked me something today in the midst of conversation.
How are you? I continued on with small talk not fully answering the question.
How are you? A second time. More small talk.
How are you? Yes, a third time and quite the persistent friend.
I had to respond. Honestly. Without a smile to hide behind or chattering about my children or exchanging information about the weather. With three words asked three times, this person intuitively reached through space and forced me to turn the flashlight on
myself My Self. Yes, the misspelling was intentional (I know there's grammar police watching). There's something about shoving together my and self that can, at times, lead to overlooking our cores, our inner beings, ourselves Our Selves. When my and self are married, the word can be said too quickly. It can slip too easily off the tongue. When I dissected it and separated the word, I had to stop and think. How was My Self? My response necessitated an I. I was forced to define myself as I was. Not as how my hair was fixed or what color shirt I was wearing or if I had make-up on. I had to glance inwardly, look through my lens of awareness, and speak the truth.
How are you? Yes, it's great that you are happily married or contentedly single or that you just got a new puppy or that your boss acknowledged your hard work with a raise.
How are you? Aside from having to shuffle your children to basketball or throw together a meal in thirty minutes or grade a stack of papers.
How are you? Really?

Hi new to forum just got a Yellow lab puppy and looking for some one to training him. Would like to do some bird hunting with him and maybe even hunt test. I have looked around the net and see a lot of trainers but looking for some recommendations.
Hi new to forum just got a Yellow lab puppy and looking for some one to training him. Would like to do some bird hunting with him and maybe even hunt test. I have looked around the net and see a lot of trainers but looking for some recommendations.
just where do you live in SoCal ?
Having grown up there and living most of my adult life there a person has to drive great distances to either train dog or even worse to hunt. So many of the rural areas of SoCal were developed for upscale communities, heck at one time we used to be able to shoot pheasants and train dogs, and shoot skeet in a place called Coto de Caza (home of the hunt) until some developer decided it would make a great place for a golf course and million dollar homes. its also where Dana (Brown) Istre taught Jack Vollstedt how to train dogs..used to be able to shoot valley quail in Riverside county but many of those ares are developed or incorporated so shooting a gun is verboten..
I know that Arnie/Linda Erwin were thinking of putting out a book on how they were able to train dogs all these years in urban surroundings, but they live in El Cajon/San Diego and thats a whole different SoCal than the concrete jungles of Orange and LA counties
I also used to train at El Dorado park in Long Beach, until some elderly person complained that my dog was off its leash and chasing ducks in one of the ponds. FTR I was using bumpers and doing baseball hand signal casts, but still got a ticket from the park police
There are a couple of dog groups that meet/train at the Prado Basin Rec Area in Corona
Where are you located and how old is your pup? Is this your first lab?
There are a lot of trainers in Southern California but it is really hard to recommend the right one without knowing you and your dog.
I strongly suggest you check out the Inland Valley Retriever Club. Next meeting/training day is Saturday October 5th at the Prado Basin Dog Park. The best way to start your pup and find the right pro trainer is to visit a retriever club, watch what the dogs are doing and ask questions.
Definitely check out this relatively recent thread- it has a ton of information in it about training groups etc:
-Julie, Monty (2005 YLM), Rogue (2009 BLM), and Eddy (2013 BLM)

You come with that all by your self? Good job!Huge difference. UB frequently posts things that are completely made up and incorrect at their core. What some would call a bald faced LIE
You are going to compare that to a ROUNDING ERROR?
I was taught in grade school that rounding fractions up or down was acceptable for ease of reference and other purposes. Sometimes that can result in the sum of the parts being greater or lesser than the whole. 102% is well within the realm of possibility with a graph with this many segments
UB on the other hand posts stuff that insults your intelligence it is so whacky.
For instance if he posted up a graph like this it would have some ridiculous premise such as the top wage earners or taxpayers only have1% of the wealth, while they carry 50% of the tax burden. Or if he had a "rounding error" it may make the sum of the parts equal 300 or 400% of the whole
Now if you have some info of substance that says the figures quoted in this chart are grossly inaccurate please share those figures and your sources with us
I wont be holding my breath for you to make any post with substantive knowledge or information, because past experience with you shows that that really ISNT HOW YOU ROLL!!
just sayin.........

Add an Asian flavor to your dinner tonight! Serve this tangy chicken, mushrooms and broccoli over rice - that's ready in 20 minutes.
The key to making a stir-fry is to cut meat and vegetables into similar sizes so they cook in about the same amount of time. Also, since the cooking goes quickly, always have the sauce ready before you start cooking. Stir the sauce before adding to the skillet to make sure the cornstarch is completely distributed.
Serve the stir-fry over hot cooked white or brown rice, if desired.

Reese Witherspoon is legally married.
The Oscar-winning Legally Blonde actress, 35, tied the knot with her very own leading man, entertainment agent Jim Toth, 40, on Saturday evening, her rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.
The couple, who became engaged in December, tied the knot in a private ceremony at Witherspoon's ranch estate in Ojai, Calif.
A pre-wedding cocktail hour took place before the 20-minute ceremony, which started a bit late. Witherspoon walked down the aisle to "Here Comes the Bride."
Those in attendance included Witherspoon's children (with her first husband Ryan Phillippe), Ava, 11 and Deacon, 7, as well as Renee Zellweger, Salma Hayak, Sean Penn with Scarlett Johansson, Tobey Maguire, Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan, and Alyssa Milano and her CAA agent husband, David Bugliari.
Tucked away between rolling hills, the Ojai Valley property offers Witherspoon and her kids plenty of privacy.
Sources have told PEOPLE that the kids bonded easily with Toth early on in his relationship with their mom.
"He's a grownup who's really ready to take the next step," a source told PEOPLE about Toth around the time of the pair's engagement. "He's a family-oriented guy, and that's all she ever really wanted."
And in the run-up to the nuptials, Witherspoon was "very giddy," added the insider, and "excited to see what the future holds."
Aw congrats & best of luck to them!

|Great Lakes Steelhead & Salmon Amazing "Inland ocean" fisheries
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I don't think I have ever landed a skamania with anything less than 8 LB. Although they normally throw the hook on one of their acrobatic jumps as you know, or bull rushes towards you.
Have you been out for them yet?
I know that many of you guys are talking about skamania and the strongness of te hook, but I can get by with 6lb test and standard nymph hooks. Now, I am not saying that this is right for every situation because sometimes the stronger the better is essentail. For me, the main thing is playing the fish and staying under control. The tiemco hooks(7999??) are very strong, and I have never had problems with them. I do use saltwater hooks when fishing the surf since the pattern is usually attacked viciously. Now not to brag, but the great lakes has alot to offer.....and chasing toperdoes in the middle of summer when it is 100+ deg. cannot be rivaled....or wait, maybe that is chasing steelhead in sub-zero temps in the middle of january as your guides are iced and your hands are numb???.....well, whatever it may be, us lakers go to the extreme.
Heavy hooks/light leaders
It sounds to me as if you may have a somewhat unbalanced setup there. Don't know what sort of leader material you are using, but at 10/12lb test it's probably about .30-.32mm diameter, assuming you're using conventional nylon. Fluorocarbon/copolymer will be even finer.
I think 1/0 or 2/0 hooks just aren't going to fish properly on a leader this fine - it doesn't have the stiffness to present that weight of hook properly, and you may even find you have problems with breakages caused by excessive hinging. If I was using a 1/0 hook I would want at least .40mm diameter leader, and the same goes for heavy tubes.
If you need to use a fine leader, you'd be better to use a hook no bigger than size 4. Use a lightweight tube fly if you need a big pattern, or use a sinking leader/tip if it's depth you're after. I find that small hooks will land big fish at least as well as big; they tend to bury themselves right in to the bend, so you get virtually no leverage which is, I think, the main cause of losses. I have landed many large atlantic salmon on small hooks. You rarely see hooks over about size 4 used in the UK these days; above about 1" most people opt for tubes/waddingtons, or just a long, streamy dressing.
Kush, vis a vis fishing the Thompson ..
it's been a zillion years since I've fished in BC. My memory of the Thompson is that it's BIG WATER; far larger than the typical Southern Oregon river.
What type of 'water' do you and Dana look for when your on stream? Any 'web connects' you could direct the folks to to get a flavor of the fishing conditions?
Spey lines
I'm not familiar with the 7/8 St. Croix, so I think someone like Dana would be better to suggest the line/weight specifics. However, my .02 is to consider one of the "mid-spey" types such as the Airflo Long Delta or Rio Mid-Spey. My rationale is that they have the best of both the long and the short bellies. They both load rods well with short lengths of line out (good for small to medium streams), while stripping will be required for longer casts there is minimal need for it on the mid-sized waters. Yet these lines will also allow you to shoot a great deal of line for the times when you may need to boom out a big cast.
I use an extreme long belly line for most of my fishing and do love how it fishes. However, I was given an Airflo Long Delta this spring and I fished it on the upper Squamish which is not too big -the line was perfect - I really liked how it loaded and cast, as well as how it handled on the water. I can definitely see myself using it on medium to small waters. I will also use it on the big waters of the Thompson when one of those nasty afternoon winds start to quarter upstream and the long-belly becomes difficult to use.
Thanks, I wish I was competent at tying tube flies where I could use the shorter strong shank hooks which I agree is a better option than the longer shank hooks. Looks like learning to tie tubes should be the next priority on my FF list along with learning to spey cast better. Need to figure out what line to use with the 7/8 weight St. Croix 13 footer with 9/10 weight sink tips. Too many spey lines to choice from and when you are stranded in the mid west without dealers with spey rods, many spey anglers, or spey claves to test multipe set ups it becomes a crap shoot to choice an expensive spey line. I now have an old 9/10 weight WF scientific anglers sink tip on it with a deep water express head I made up years ago.
Its kind of sloppy on the cast but rolls casts ago. Remember we have smaller width rivers here widest being 60-70 yards most are 20-40 yards I would say. Look at the picture of the Muskegon I posted up in the forumn from my trip last month, thats about the widest river we have here.
The 7999's are serious hooks - you will not have issues with straightening them on fish. The only problem I've ever had is with Alec Jackson Spey hooks in larger sizes, IMO they are so "springy" that they will open up under heavy loads - then spring back - but minus the fish.
My personal favourite hook (before I switched to tube-flies) is the Partridge Bartleet Supreme, it is a heavy wire hook that has just enough of a sweep to its styling that it wears elegant patterns very well.
One of the problems that standard hooks present - especially in larger sizes is the length of the shanks gives a struggling fish a great deal of leverage. This, I believe results in alot of lost fish. My traditional hook-up to landing ratio was approx 50% on a year in year out basis. In the 2 seasons since Dana and I converted to tube flies (and the short shank wide gap hooks like Tiemco 105's or Partridge Nordic Single Spey) our combined landing ratio is now up to 75%. It has only been 2 seasons - but the early stats are good enough for me to say that I will not fish traditional hooks again. The one possible exception might be for small low water patterns - even then I'm not sure.

I think Eugene summed it up nicely. Nothing beats break testing to know where you stand.
As for hooks, I love the Mustad 7970 5x strong for big nymphs. and I have yet to break or bend a Mustad 36890 in #4 or larger, but then I haven't put them up against >10 lb. test.
Before you go to salt hooks concider that they won't rust out if broken of in a fish.
Will let you know what they do to the TMC 7999, probably a non issue, after a few jumps they will probably be off anyway. Don't think I can go much higher in the leader strength with out them being scared off in clear water. I will give a 14 lb test leader a shot though in the stained water situation one river usually has. Just hooking them and fighting them for a while is a great thrill, landing them is another story.
Has anyone ever had a 1/0 or a 2/0 TMC 7999 straighten out on a fish while using 10-12 lb tippet? Seems like a non-issue to me. Those are meat hooks. Bury the point into a rock and the hook might straighten out but the leverage is totally different. Unless you get a bad hook your knots are going to go first.
Thanks will check them all out.
Fred, yes they average 15-20lbs with some over 20. Several in the high 20s have been caught. New state records in Wisconsin and Indiana from Lake Michigan were set in the last two years.
Both were 27-29 lbs or so.
If you like I can send you further corroborating independent evidence.
The returns to the rivers are usually in the 50-100K range.
Can't tell you where my zipper lip locations are though, thats a trade secret
|Alec Jackson Heavy Wire or the Alec Jackson Steelhead Irons are both excellent heavy wire hooks. The Steelhead Iron is a 1x short, 1x heavy while the Heavy Wire is just a 1x heavy.
|I believe the wire diameter on the Varivas 1/0 990S or 994S is .0555 - it sure seems stiff enough to give it a try.
|The new Mustad "signature" series... The Trey Combs by Gamagatsu.. The New Verivas have a different look and are extremely sharp out of the package but I have not fished them yet... The new Mustads have a great point and seem better made than the standard Mustad and are a good price.
Hal, first I'm going to ask you to sit down before I tell you..
how much per hook.
Only in my wet-dreams do we get steelhead that size.
But Mr. Salmon .... ah yes. Take a look at the TMC 600SP hooks. they're a "super point (aka chisle), round, straight eye 3x heavy, 3x wide, 2x short forged black nickle." I use the 1/0's for the salmon; but these are the biggest, strongest ..... most expensive .... freash water hooks I've ever seen ... and cost about 90 cents each! But they will hook and hold a Mac Truck. And sink like a rock without extra weighting. I run these behind 250, 300 and 400 grain RIO heads for the salmon.
Not sure how widely they're destributed but I got mine from Mark B's shop in Welches, OR. Price was $25.00 for 29 hooks. Thank God they pay the shipping. :eyecrazy:

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I know what's wrong
You need to take that gob of eggs off the hook. :hehe:
Just kidding. But I agree above, I have yet to see any trend of deep hooking fish. I must admit, I've only caught a couple handful of fish with tubes. But none have been deeply hooked.
Can't tell you what is happening. By chance you have some sort of smell on your hands (say WD40 or such from your car)? May add the extra scent that adds more of a desire to eat/swallow the fly without biting down on it. Maybe you should lay off the caviar while fishing. You pop a few by accident on the fly and look what happens. :hehe:
Fish Hawk I would disagree with you on that one
Whether the fly was a tube, waddington or regular hook isn't going to determine how deeply a fish takes it.
There are times when fish just plain take a fly deep, I would say you have a pattern that the fish really want, or a combination or good fly pattern with excellent fishing conditions.
I have fished steelhead patterns that were tied on low water #10 hooks.....a size the fish should be able to swallow completely only to lip hook the fish.
I have also had fish take huge 5/0 greaseliners that literally inhaled the fly.
Both these flies were on the Dean...dont forget...the Dean fish are very aggressive fish and will take a fly hard...sometimes in the lip ,sometimes deep in the throat.
I really dont see how style of pattern determines the depth of the take. There are just too many variables to say that any style is responsible for a deep take.
In my opinion I think you have a combination of eager fish, good fly pattern and good overall conditions...ie water temp, clarity and active fish.
I fish a particular pattern here on my home waters in the Kootenays ( BC ) the sizes range from #6 to #2 6XL shank hooks. Last time out on the water I hooked three fish so deep with the monsterous #2 fly that I needed forceps to retrieve the fly. Something I had never experienced on that particular watershed. The fishing was very hot that day, and I think that the competition by other fish was fierce . They were savaging the fly and three fish took the fly deep .
If you want to ensure minimal damage with a deeply hooked fish ensure that the hook size is on the small size. For steelhead I would say limit that to a size #1 and no larger
My two cents worth
|How would a tube fly promote this trend?
tube flies
while fishing with tube flies , I have notice a disturbing trend .
specifically I have hooked and landed several fish that swallowed the fly deeply and were pumping blood out of there gills. Four years ago on the Dean I had a fish die .
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
I am contemplating not using them anymore because i dont like releasing fish that are going to possibly die

Does a straight ejection carry an automatic suspension?
In NBA and most other basketball games, a player or coach is ejected from the game if he accumulates two technical fouls of an unsportsmanlike nature over the course of the game. Participants who commit fouls of violence or enter the stands are ejected summarily regardless of the number of technical fouls accumulated. Ejected players/coaches must leave the court area for the remainder of play, and must do so immediately, or else risk even heavier fines/suspensions. In the NBA, an ejection will result in, at minimum, a $1,000 fine; an ejection for leaving the bench during a fight carries at least a one-game suspension as well. In domestic games, refusing to leave after being ejected can result in a player being put on report. If being put on report does not provide enough encouragement for a player to leave the court, the official may award the game to the opposing team, regardless of score. Players who incur 16 technical fouls in a single NBA season are automatically suspended for one game; an additional suspension is imposed for each increment of two thereafter. Should a player receive the 16th technical foul in the last regular-season game, he will be suspended for the first game in the next season, unless if his team is in the playoffs, when he will be suspended for the first playoff game. In the playoffs, players are suspended if they receive seven technicals.
But are you guys finally going to start selling out regular season games consistently?

Angel Fish Breeding
Thank you so much for your information on this subject!!! I recently
purchased two beautiful Blue Angels about two months ago. About a week
after getting them, they laid a large amount of eggs on my Amazon Sword
plant, but ate every last one of them within hours afterwards.... About 3
weeks later they laid more, but as I came home and looked at the tank, they
were eating the last few, meaning they had the eggs during the day and then
ate them hours later again! I was so pissed off....Now they just laid more
eggs, not as many as the first two batches, but they seem to be leaving
them alone, and that was about 5 hours ago now. I don't know what to
do....if I should leave them alone since its only the two Angels, a Corey
Cat, and a Butterfly Pleco, or if I should cut the leaf off and put it in
an empty 10 gallon tank I've had running for the passed week while waiting
for this to happen.....PLEASE help me out being that I love these fish and
the babies would look amazing as well.
Thank you and hope to hear from you sooner than later, sincerely Bill H.
PS: I'm attaching a video and/or pic of the Angels :) The male is the one
with the spot, and the female is big and pregnant since the pic was from
Your angels may or may not learn to parent raise their fry. Mine once tended to them until they went free swimming but after 3 days, they began to pick them off. If you're serious about breeding, it is probably better to remove the eggs and there are folks on here who can give you good advice about that. It will be some work to raise the fry successfully.
I'm not really wanting to breed seriously, but I thought I'd try once. I pulled a leaf of wrigglers several weeks ago and although I lost most of the fry, I now have 6 that are about 5 weeks old. Here are some pics of my babies and the parents.
You should PM Indian Woods Angels, a member here. He breeds Angelfish and can give you some good advice on the subject.
if they are first time parents it is normal for them to make some "errors"
during the first couple of tries. you could raise the fry artificially or you could give the parents some time to figure out how to raise babies and not eat them. the cories and pleco are nocturnal and thus may pose a danger to eggs.
common behavior for young pairs, they'll most likely settle down and raise a few.
They will also eat the eggs if they feel that other tak inhabitants are going to get them, but with some pairs potential threats make them better parents.
So basically you never know
The main question is how many do you want?
If left for the parents to raise you could get 40-50 fry, if you pull the eggs you could get 800+, are you prepared to care for that many?As I get older I find myself thinking about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

If your fish were not parent raised they may not parent raise them selves.
If after three or so spawns you still do not have free swimming fry you may have to go into trying to artificially rear them.
To do this you need a nice piece of slate 3" wide X 10" long ish. Place it in the tank. The pair should claim it a a great place to spawn. Once they do, give them about 5 minutes after they are finished and go into pull the spawn mode.
The tank for a pulled spawn that I use is a 2.5 gallon tank. I use tap water at 80F from the tap and I add a capful of H2O2 into the water. I let it sit for 5 minutes and then place the spawn on the slate into this tank. I place an air tube into the tank with the tube under the slate near the eggs with a mild air flow.
The eggs hatch in three or four days depending upon temperature, they will exist as wigglers, an egg yolk with an embryo attached. It takes 4 or 5 days for the fry to go free swimming. Once free swimming they require newly hatched Baby Brine shrimp as feed. When you feed them do so carefully, overfeeding can kill them. They grow at various rates depending upon temperature. 80 to 84F works good. They need excellent water quality and a well cycled sponge filter which you place in after the hatch. You can do 50% water changes but never expose them to chlorine. Use your tank water from your main tank.
When you pull the spawn you may want to have a second matching slate to give to the pair. They sometimes get mad about this slate going missing.
Keep in mind that a spawn of angels may be up to 1500 fish. They grow quickly and need good space to grow. I keep mine in the 2.5 for about 10 days and then into a 10 gallon and after 20 days they go into a 30 gallon.
Of course there can be a lot more detail in doing this, this should get you started though.
Unlees your prepared with 60-100g of aquarium space ( that's just for the first 6 weeks) and an outlet for them I wouldn't recomend pulling the eggs.
I had pairs that did great alone, others that did better with another fish in the tank.
Honestly even a few young that you'll get from parent raising will require a lot of space and frequent large water changes to grow properly
Most of my Angel production was from atificially raising the young, but when I didn't need eggs/fry I have numerous pairs that raised young.
None of my pairs were parent raised, I didn't allow them to choose partners either.
I placed the male I wanted in with the female I wanted and never had incompatability problems in 30 yrs of Angel breeding.
With the industry in the shape it is now I have all my breeding tanks in storageAs I get older I find myself thinking about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

I recommend obtaining the latest copy of Amazonas magazine. It is dedicated to the magnificent angelfish. It is formatted as a reference issue, the photography is outstanding.
Within it's context you will read information from the true Gods of angelfish keeping.

CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch for Hummer H3T
- Model
- 13007
- Internet/Catalog:
- 205630944
The CURT Class 3 trailer hitch is the most common type of trailer hitch installed on full-size pickup trucks and SUVs. It is also popular on crossovers and mid-size trucks. That is because the Class 3-packs the punch of a heavyweight hitch while still staying light on its feet. CURT Class 3 hitches range in gross trailer weight capacity from 3,500 lbs. to an impressive 8,000 lbs. and offer a comparable tongue weight capacity ranging from 350 lbs. to 800 lbs. These hitches are engineered to be strong and capable, having a quality steel frame in round tube or square tube form. Class 3 trailer hitches are able to tow most standard size trailers. This type of hitch uses a 2 in. x 2 in. receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount or towing accessory with an equivalent shank. One special feature about the Class 3 that is not found in Classes 1 or 2 is its compatibility with a weight distribution hitch. When used in combination with a WD hitch, the Class 3 hitches gross trailer weight capacity increases to 12,000 lbs. and the tongue weight capacity to 1,200 lbs. CURT Class 3 hitches are put through strenuous testing before they are deemed ready for market. They also come with 2 coatings a liquid Aquence coating and a powder coat in high-gloss black that cure together to form a strong resistance against rust, scratching, UV damage and other wear. Our hitches are our pride, and as such, we back them up with a limited lifetime warranty and a 1-year finish warranty.

Long story short.......I was sick for a few weeks with what seemed to be a nasty stomach virus(I'll save the gory details.....not pretty) Back and forth 4xs to the Doc tons of blood work and "other samples"...everything came out good...But still having symptoms another round of different blood work and "other samples' turns up GIARDIA...Probably picked up during a snow goose hunt when I dropped my water bottle into some swampy mucky water and didn't cleen it off enough and took a drink(stooooopid).....It had me so paranoid not knowing what was wrong with me....And Pile on the fact that me and my lovely wife are expecting twins in 3 months I WAS GOING CRAZY WITH WORRY...
Giardiasis is becoming more prevelant and more common here in the north east.
Anyway just something else to think about when running our dogs....clean and wash your hands!!!!!(and your water bottle)
Thanks and have a great time with your dogs!

Help me choose a reel...
I'm looking for a high end reel, folks. I'd appreciate your comments on the topic. No real rush to buy, but since it will not be cheap I want to make the right choice.
I've been very happy with the hard working Lamson LP machined disc drag reels for years. I've been so satisfied with them that I haven't purchased a reel in years. Coming at ~$200-250, they are a great value... but now I am ready for an heirloom reel.
Let's see... it can't be a Spey sized reel but it has to be big enough to use on a Spey rod in a pinch. 4" class is good. Might as well be large / wide or ultra large arbor, but that can be waived for the right reel. Disc drag... I like the Hardy click system but this things gotta be able to tame inshore tuna, blues, big stripers, steelhead, kings, ocean coho, bonefish, baby tarpon, who knows what else. Room for 9wt or 10wt line and 200 yards of 30# dacron minimum. Of course, machined bar stock. Light weight - although I love the Islander it's a little heavy for my tastes. I could live with that but I need to be able to swap spools easily with zero loose parts during the transition. Aesthetics are important too, I want to look at it and say to myself... "I finally got you after all these years!".
Any ideas?
RE:Help me choose a reel...
I like the Billy Pates I have 3.They are a little heavy but you can really abuse them and they will be around after you and I are gone.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Bigcat - tell me more... cork or delrin drag? any loose parts when swapping spools? How simple is the swap? Conversion to left hand?
Does the reel body have a full ring on the open side (like the Tioga, Teton, SciAngler) or does it just have the partial top/bottom braces (like the Lamson, Waterworks, etc). With the Open sides you never have to thread the fly line thru the hole; just put the spool on from the side and the line is ready. This is especially convenient when you have some line out and you want to remove, clean out, or swap spools.
Pate's aesthetics are top notch, I just love the way they look.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Juro, I've never owned one personally(out of my price range) but if you're looking for a real heirloom reel you might want to look at the Charlton 8550C. It is designed to accomodate a variety of different spool designs from a WA 8/9 weight spool to a 12w 'offshore' spool. The reel also sports a completely sealed drag system. I got a chance to play around with one of these at a flyshop by my house in NH and it's a great looking/feeling reel.
If you just won the lottery or are looking to spend an obscene amount of money, i've heard they make these same reels in all titanium.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Matt -
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. A flyshop I hang out at often sells them too, I should go take a close look.
Say do you live near Hunter's?
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Juro, I have several high end reel and Big cat is right the Pates are great. Apart for the Abel Super series which is substantially lighter than their big game series. I would take a serious look at the TIBOR. Light ,great looks(since If you pay that much It should be nice to look At). The pate reels are made by the same manufacturer. You can also have a name plate which comes with it. It come in four models and can come in black or silverish. I have the "Rip Tide". Also, large arbor standard and Super drag system
RE:Help me choose a reel...
John -
Yeah boy do I love those swanky looking reels but I am concerned about swapping spools... most of those reels are designed for tropical flats fishing where one never really needs to swap a spool.
I personally gotta be able to swap quick with no loose parts.
Maybe someday I will be able to afford TWO like Ruben!
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Juro, I rate Billy Pate among the best, but DO Not try to change spools on the beach. It has a very small screw that can easily get lost. I do have a Bill Pate "Bonefish". This reel I use with an intermediate line, as I do not have an extrra spool. I do have a Teton 9/11 which I have setup with another rod. I find it quicker to carry two rods instead of an extra spool. I do go offshore once in a while and have darn near lost my thumb trying to slow a tuna down. If you buy an expensive reel, in my opinion one needs an anti-reverse model.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Juro, I think most of the those high end reel have a screw anyway except the Islander, so reel removal requires the use of a small screw driver or dime, etc. I know of none that has a lever type release excetp the next tier down in price, which obviously does not necessarily effect preformance. Also, my opinion on the anti-reverse is not to get it unless it is for big off shore fish since I believe you lose control of the line at times when reeling in.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Juro, you are asking for alot, but you deserve alot.
Billy Pate: +'s bombproof, proven, smooth strong cork disc drag, not too expensive. A classic. -'s full cage frame, small arbor, many parts and a special tool involved in changing the spool, kind of a tweener...Bone fish is too small, tarpon is too big.
Tibor Riptide: +'s This is the reel that the Billy Pate spawned. Has all of the +'s of the Pate, as well as a large arbor. Same drag as the Gulf Stream reel used to break the IGFA blue marlin record, nonported body( beach friendly) This is a perfect #9-#10 reel. -'s a little heavy to be false casting all day. maybe not quite 200yds. of 30# backing, a few parts in the hand when changing spools and expensive spools.
Abel Super 11: +'s flawless fit and finish, proven, silky smooth, just about the perfect #10-#11 reel but weighs about the same as the Rip tide. -'s no outgoing click! same spool considerations as with the Tibor.
Islander 4.0W: +'s not that heavy, almost as good as the Tibor and the Abel( which is more than good enough), easier to change spools (parts remain captive until popped out). I think that this is about perfect for a #9. -'s hmm...can't think of any. Drag has a little start up inertia( very little). Not as sexy as the abel and tibor.
Charlton: these are cool reels. Spools for tarpon, off shore, and spey. Very spendy and too big and heavy to be false casting all day. Too bad because the drag is totally sealed and would be perfect for the surf. I have not used this one, but the tolerances are incredable...maybe too tight?
Bauer: not in the same league.
Orvis Vortex: +'s Juro, this one is very close to what you have asked for. The spools are cheap enough to actually have a few(about $90). They click on and off with no loose bits. The reel seems to be first rate. Unbeatable warrenty. -'s Heavy, My brother's neglected reel that lives out side is starting to stain. I have heard of spools deforming under a lot of pressure. Having to listen to buddies rip on Orvis. Fit and finish is not up to Abel standards. Open back is a sandy disaster waiting to happen.
Reddington: not in the same league.
Sage: +'s this new reel is going to be really cool. Large arbor, sealed carbon fiber drag, easily changed spools, light, and new. -'s who knows? Maybe none.
None of these reels will work with a true spey(wind cutter, accelerator, DT#10 etc.)line. A shooting head would be cool though.
These are just a few of my many opinions. They are based on experience, observation, and a little hearsay. All of these reels are really good and I think that selecting one is like looking for a puppy. Play around with them in the shop and one is going to pop out of the pack and say,"take me home".
I think it will be the Tibor. Have fun, Eddie

Juro, There is alot of advise in these responses but you said you were looking for an heirloom... If that's the case. don't worry about changing spools.... Go with the Abel Super series and look at the platnun series. Yes they are expensive... but you did ay heirloom... right.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
I live in Concord NH, and work in Nashua, so Hunter's is sort of(20 mins out of the way) on my way home. It's great having such a well stocked shop near home, especially since i don't think i've ever gone into a fly shop to get tying supplies and remembered more than 2/3 of what i wanted. If you're in the area i'd recommend stopping by the shop, i think they carry most of the reels mentioned in this post and with a purchase like this i'm sure you're going to want to be able to compare some of the reels side by side.
RE:Help me choose a reel...
IMHO the Van Staal FR40 deserves a serious look.

RE:Help me choose a reel...
GREAT STUFF!
Please keep it comin'!! I've never gotten such good advice by reading any magazine. I'll go as far as to say that even the words of the 'pros' can't always be as objective and revealing as the words of those who really know - consumers!
I'll definitely be compiling this info (plus all the great email, thank you!) as I move to the next part of the experience... hands-on touchy feely store hopping! yeehah!
RE:Help me choose a reel...
Starting to think I can't get it all in one. I love some of the SW reels but most high end can not exchange a spool without a lot of trouble... and I can't live with either and intermediate -or- a sinking line; never mind the steelhead line as a third need.
Aesthetically speaking, I like a click on the way out, and don't need one on the way in but a subtle one is nice. What's with the Abel? I don't want a lot of writing on the reel, but if there is writing I like it to be tasteful like the Tibor. The Van Staal looked serious, and I love that - but the vented advertising on the side is not for me. Gold is cool for SWFF, but I want to be able to admire it's place on a wild steelhead river in a rain forest too.

text: IWTS-14 and 30 SR You can't see them, but you're surrounded! Lifelike, three-dimensional surround performanceThe IWTS-14 SR and IWTS-30 SR are in-wall surround speakers that deliver spacious, enveloping surround effects for top-grade home theater systems. They feature two angled banks of drivers facing front and rear that fill the listening area with the three-dimensional ambient sound essential for convincing, lifelike theater sound. Both speakers incorporate dual woofers (4 ½" in the 14 SR, 5 ¼" in the 30 SR) and dual 1" soft dome tweeters. The speakers are switchable Dipole/Bipole designs; that is, the two sets of drivers can either be set for out-of-phase (Dipole) operation, for a diffuse, non-localizable sound, or set for in-phase (Bipole) operation, for a more direct, localizable effect. Either model can fill large home listening rooms with dramatic surround effects. However, because of its exceptional output capability, the IWTS-30 SR is THX Ultra-certified, a testimony to its outstanding performance and its suitability to being used in the very finest systems.

IWTS-14 and 30 SR Stick'em Up. You're Surrounded!The IWTS-14 and 30 SR are called surround speakers because that's what they do. They surround you with the environmental sounds of the scene taking place on the screen. No matter whether in Dolby Surround®, Dolby Digital®, DTS®, or any other format, the surround speakers are there to deliver non-localizable environmental sonic cues. These horizontally-mounted speakers offer a unique combination of benefits. They deliver true Dipole surround performance, and yet, thanks to it minimum footprint design, fit easily into a standard 2 x 4 studded wall! Each speaker consists of two sets of matched drivers --in essence, two speaker systems. In Dipole mode these two systems operate "out of phase" with each other. The speaker's sound radiation pattern is similar to an infinity symbol, sweeping along the wall to each side. There's a distinct null or "dead zone" centered directly in front of the speaker which is in turn centered on the seating area. When properly placed and balanced, this creates a large, diffuse, non-localizable, and enveloping sound field that draws you into the action. Should you have an installation in which Dipole operation might be less than optimal, the speakers can easily be switched to Bipole operation. Technical Highlights Both the IWTS-14 SR and 30 SR are Frequency Enhanced Dipoles. They operate as a Monopole from 200Hz down, thereby eliminating the Dipole's tendency to cancel its own bass output. These are true-wide range speakers, fully capable of taking advantage of the latest Digital multi-channel formats. A front mounted switch toggles between Bipole and Dipole mode. They fit in standard "two by four", sixteen inch on-center wall construction Both speakers feature computer-optimized 18dB/octave crossovers with air core inductors. Input connections are made with gold plated, heavy duty spring loaded terminals that will accept up to 8 gauge wire, banana plugs, or connector pins. Paint shields are supplied making them easy to paint to match the surrounding wall surface.

Hewlett Packard Laptop 2/2/2015Mike from St. Louis, Mo
Very powerful laptop for the price and does all that I am looking to do with it.
Still using the old one this was supposed to repla 11/30/2014
It either works poorly or not at all. The latest development is that the battery seems to be defective. This is on top of a frequently inability to detect wireless networks, the profoundly user unfriendly Windows 8 system (not HP's fault but it doesn't help), and a general lack of quality (which is HP's fault). Been a loyal HP user since the early 90s. I'll be moving on.
Great product 9/4/2014
Will most likely never buy a 'new' PC again.

Former Itawamba Community College standout defensive lineman and Okolona native Tim Bowens was inducted into the 2012 Miami Dolphins' Walk of Fame this past Sunday.
"I didn't know they felt that way about me," said Bowens during the Walk of Fame press conference. "I knew they respected me as a player but to see those guys go up and you've got other guys that are going to go up as my teammates it just feels great."
The two-time Pro Bowl selection recorded 407 tackles (297 solo), 22 sacks and one interception in his 11 seasons with the Dolphins. He was chosen as the 20th pick of the 1994 NFL draft and later that season named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year by the Associated Press.
The 2012 Walk of Fame honorees selected by the Dolphins' organization were recognized as "Unsung Heroes" for their unselfish contribution to their teams and willingness to go above and beyond their roles in any way they were asked.
Other honorees for this year's class include linebacker A.J. Duhe, defensive lineman Manny Fernandez, wide receiver Nat Moore and quarterbacks Earl Morrall and Don Strock.
Bowens, who played at Ole Miss, joins the likes of inaugural Walk of Fame honorees, former owner Joe Robbie, coach Don Shula, linebacker Nick Buoniconti, fullback Larry Csonka, quarterbacks Dan Marino and Bob Griese, centers Dwight Stephenson and Jim Langer, guard Larry Little and wide receiver Paul Warfield.
"To see my name going up amongst the greats is such an honor," Bowens said in an interview with The Finsiders.
Inductees' names are etched in stone at the Joe Robbie Alumni Plaza at Sun Life Stadium.
Bowens, who played for Miami from 1994-2004 and helped the Dolphins reach the playoffs seven times, was inducted into the ICC Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010 after earning National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-American honors and being a two-time Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) All-State selection.

Princeton to study athletics program
Posted November 5, 2007; 09:40 a.m.
Marsh to provide information at Nov. 12 CPUC meeting
Princeton has begun a year-long, campus-wide effort to study its athletics program as part of the NCAA Division I athletics certification program. The specific areas the self-study will cover are academic integrity, governance and commitment to rules compliance, and equity and student-athlete well-being.
President Shirley M. Tilghman has appointed University Counsel Clayton Marsh to chair the steering committee that will lead the self-study, which incorporates students, faculty and staff, including athletics department personnel.
Marsh will provide information on the self-study at the Monday, Nov. 12, meeting of the Council of the Princeton University Community. The meeting will begin at 4:30 p.m. in Betts Auditorium, School of Architecture, and all members of the University community are invited to attend.
Princeton completed its first NCAA certification self-study in 1998, and the current self-study will be the second in the certification process for the University. The purpose of the NCAA certification program is to help ensure the integrity of member institutions' athletics operations. The self-study provides opportunities for communication with the broader University community about athletics and how the experience of student-athletes might be improved.

The 'social web' is all a-twitter with the news that our President … Mr. Barack Obama … called singer / R&B phenom (and all around douche) Kanye West a "jackass." Of course, now President Obama is doing 'oops' control and making apologies and such. But – he was, in my opinion (and the opinion of millions of others) completely and utterly correct!
For those who live under a rock – or just generally don't pay attention to pop culture – Taylor Swift won the award for Best Female Video at the MTV Video Music Awards this past Sunday. During her acceptance / thank you speech
The Biggest Asshole in R & B Kanye West jumps up on stage, grabs the microphone from the stunned country singer and proclaims:
"YO Taylor! I'm really happy for you … I'ma let you finish … but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. Of all time!!"
Holy Cow! Kanye was boo'd offstage and everyone gave Taylor a standing ovation. She looked absolutely heartbroken! Thankfully she pulled it together and gave a great performance of her winning song "You Belong with Me" live from the awards show. She looked a little nervous when she first started her song though – but by the end she was rocking. Seriously though … One of the best? The best? Of all time? Are we thinking of the same video here? Anyway … Beyonce was gracious and invited Taylor up to the stage to finish the interrupted acceptance speech. (Beyonce won "Video of the Year" … not of "All Time" by the way).
But … I'm completely in support of our President being open and honest. If he thinks Kanye is a "jackass" then by golly I'm going to agree with him!
It was a little dirty for that ABC person to tweet what the President said though … wasn't this person supposed to be working and not dinking around on the Twitter? (according to cnn)

Refiners like Phillips 66 (PSX), Valero Energy (VLO), Holly Frontier (HFC), Marathon Petroleum (MPC) and Tesoro (TSO) had a painful start to the year. The pain might be about to turn to gain, according to Barclays.
Barclays' Paul Cheng explains why:
While the US refining industry has seen headwinds with the narrowing Brent-LLS differential, we continue to believe the US refining segment will rank among the market's best-performing groups over the next 1-2 years…
We believe that the narrow LLS-Brent differential during the past two months has primarily been the result of poor weather affecting both production and the logistics necessary to transport the production to refineries…
Cheng says investors should overweight the entire US refining industry, but is particularly fond of Valero Energy, which is "best positioned to take advantage of the changing Gulf Coast crude oil landscape," and Tesoro, when "investors start to shift their focus to relative underperformers within the refining sector."
Shares of Valero Energy have gained 0.4% to $54.45, while Tesoro has dropped 0.7% to $52.85, so I guess investors aren't ready for the underperformers yet. Phillips 66 has risen 0.7% to$79.23, Holly Frontier has dipped 0.1% to $49.71 and Marathon Petroleum has ticked down 0.1% to $93.93.

Met mbp on Friday. A bunch of us went out for lunch at this groovy Thai place. I couldn't make it for dinner because I basically passed out after work, having only got 2 hours sleep on Thursday night. Woke up long enough to make and eat some food at around 11:30p, then promptly crashed again. All told I think I slept for 14 hours last night, which is Good. I've been keeping some pretty wack hours lately.

McCarey's first senior call-up
Wolves keeper Aaron McCarey was planning to go and watch one of his mates play gaelic football this weekend.
Not any more!
Instead the 21-year-old from Monaghan will be making his first appearance in the Republic of Ireland senior squad and travelling to America ahead of the friendly with Spain at New York's Yankee Stadium in the early hours of Wednesday morning, British time.
And the down-to-earth McCarey is keen to grasp the opportunity.
"I couldn't believe it at first when I got the call and it was one of those where I thought it might have been a wind-up at first!" he says.
"But it's obviously great news and I am really looking forward to it.
"I was back home and had planned to go and watch one of my mates play Gaelic Football but instead everything is changed and for all the right reasons.
"It is a dream come true for any player to play for their country and I'm one step closer now I'm in the squad.
"I think I had a decent game for the Under-21s against Italy last week and maybe word of that got back.
"It will just be great to meet up with the squad and nice to know that they are looking at me and I've got a chance to be involved with the senior squad.
"I'll just join up and make sure I do the best I can in training and try to impress.
"It's one of those situations where if I can do well then there might be another opportunity coming along in the future."
McCarey has eight Under-21 caps, most recently between the sticks as ten men Ireland posted a 0-0 draw in Denmark.
Any sort of action during his first trip Stateside on Tuesday night would prove a great boost to the keeper ahead of reporting back with Wolves for pre-season training alongside fellow glovemen Wayne Hennessey, Carl Ikeme and Dorus De Vries.
He admits it's going to be a fresh start for all at Molineux under new Head Coach Kenny Jackett, heading into a league where he was experience having made 14 appearances on loan with Walsall last season.
He was also on the bench for the final eight of Wolves' fixtures as cover for De Vries.
"It's about coming back and again doing my best to impress the new head coach," says McCarey.
"I think everyone will be starting afresh and looking to make a good impression.
"It was a great experience for me being around the squad towards the end of last season and I think that will also help me when I join up with Ireland.
"I also enjoyed my time playing first team football with Walsall.
"When I get back I'll be hoping to be involved with Wolves and trying to show what I can do."

There's one around here that was a fellow student in an Agility class. Smart, athletic, energetic dog, really overwhelmed her novice (but devoted) owners. Absolutely loved the water. They could hardly keep her out of the kiddie pool used to cool off dogs.
I still see the dog (now a bit calmer) around town, with its still devoted owners. I wonder how it would have done at hunt tests. Hunting would have been a better fit for the dog's energy level and passion for water than agility.
I've seen others that were a lot leggier, more poodle than lab or golden.

I train a ton via OB classes. They are hit or miss. There is zero consistency in them some a very smart and completely driven to please while others are dumb and don't care about anything besides bouncing around.
I read an article in retriever journal awhile ago about a gentleman in Arkansas who hunted with one. Just like any dog build a solid OB and go from there.

I have had a few at my facility. One is incredibly smart. Each of the one's I've had have been very affectionate and athletic. But I think the bottom line is that each one is an outcross, so you can never be sure what you're going to get. I think it's inaccurate to label labradoodles as anything such as dumb, smart, trainable. Each one is different than the next. And like Forest Gump said, ya never know what you're gonna get. Therein lies the dilemma with mixed breeds.

Choreography by: George Balanchine
Music by: Maurice Ravel
The eight couples of Le Tombeau de Couperin delight with their symmetrical patterns and playful interactions
In 1919 Maurice Ravel composed "Le Tombeau de Couperin" ("The Tomb of Couperin"), a commemorative suite for piano in six movements, in memory of six friends who died in World War I. He was inspired by the style of François Couperin, a French Baroque composer. In 1920 Ravel orchestrated four of the pieces, which make up the score for this ballet.
Balanchine choreographed Le Tombeau de Couperin for New York City Ballet's 1975 Ravel Festival, and, like the composer, he incorporated French Baroque style and devices into a work with a modern sensibility. The eight couples are divided into left and right quadrilles, and each quadrille forms geometric patterns — diagonals, diamonds, squares — as they dance in unison or echo the movements of the opposite side.

Rumour has it that the sale and management teams are moving into the currently empty office connected to mine. I'm not sure I like the idea of either group in such close proximity. Also there are four desks in each room (3 in use in mine) and there are six of them... so even if one person sits in the desk in the window I'm going to have to have one in my office. This scuppers my plan to keep the connecting doors shut and locked from my side.

To add a footnote to this idea would be to cut the Churchill Power to Quebec and let them do their worst. It's really not theirs, as we all know.
I leave my name, address and phone numbers for supporters who would like to get in touch.

Football isn't cute. It's a man's game.
I don't get the obsession with trying to come up with cute names for players.
You have the power to stop this FYI
i have to admit the nickname threads are more annoying than the possible trade threads IMO, but to each their own
Here's hoping for the new look dolphins offense.
Fail Mr.Kent I did to you : (....Inner yoda
That being said Flyin Ryan ****s on Matty Ice...And that was my main goal. To come up with a better QB nick name than that idiot Matt Ryan
Hmmm....New nick name, Matt Ryan stupid Tannehill??? Haaaa
Tannehill 17
I'll admit nicknaming seems a bit juvenile to me, but who am I to tell someone else how to enjoy football?
I agree
Getem Mr. Owner.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
Of course he doesn't need a nickname. But some people feel like he has to have one so that they can say it way too much.
They spend so much time drumming up some dumb nickname that won't ever catch on when they should spend their time trying to learn the actual game.
Totally agree. Did Dan have a nickname? Did Bob have one? Czonka, Kiick, Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas to name a few? Why is this so important? What's wrong with "Ryan Tannehill"?

FAFSA : General Information : Credit : Federal Work-Study : Tuition and Budget : Loans Available at ATSU : ATSU Policies
Tuition and Budget
Tuition is due twice a year at ATSU. It is due at the beginning of the first and third quarters. The tuition amount due each payment is half the cost for the entire year. Tuition may be paid any time during the week that it is due. Delinquent tuition penalties accrue at 1 1/2% per month, which is 18% per year.
All budgets are pdf files.
|1st Year Budget
|2nd Year Budget
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Policy
The Department of Education is encouraging and, at times, requiring educational institutions to become paperless. Therefore, funds received through federal and private loans will normally be transferred electronically to a student's account at ATSU. Students will receive a receipt itemizing the type of loan and amount credited to their account at the institution. Funds electronically transferred above what is owed for tuition and fees will promptly be refunded to the student by check or deposited directly to the student's bank account. (Students that have lenders that do not wire money to ATSU will receive their financial aid through a co-payable check.) Generally, funds are available when tuition is due.
Direct Deposit
Many banks in states outside of Missouri make students wait 10 business days to tap their loan funds when deposited by check. Therefore, we require all students to use direct deposit where ATSU wires money to the student's bank account. This way, the money is available on the day it is wired to the bank.

Buddhist Publication Society
For Authentic Literature on Buddhism
BPS's latest offering, The Bodhisattva Ideal, is a must-have additon to the library of those who come to Buddhism from the West, who may wonder about the multiplicity of Buddhist schools, sects, schisms, and developments.
The authors cite Chinese, Sanskrit, Pali and Tibetan works, as well as recently-found birch-bark MSS. They demonstrate a refreshing uniformity in the teachings of the Buddha, and promote a viewpoint that avoids sectarian bias.
