text: I recently had a dog CERF'd and sent the form to CERF. They sent me back my paperwork and along with it came a letter about OFA doing their own eye registry. The people at CERF do not seem happy with this at all and they will no longer be sharing the information with OFA. What is everyone's thoughts on who's paperwork to use for our dog's eyes?

Tonight I noticed that my YLM had some welts or a rash on his belly. I am pretty sure it has come from running through some long cover or climbing over submerged logs during training.
Does anyone know of something that I can put on him to help the healing and itching that is not harmful to him if he licks at it?

On Saturday, January 17, hangouts like Zeek's Pizza in Kirkland, Washington and Ozzie's Restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri will have something in common with 62 other sites across the country. They will all be tuning in to watch the action unfold as the men's basketball teams from Hope College and Calvin College meet on the hardcourt for the 170th time.
The events, organized by the Alumni Associations of Hope College in Holland, MI and Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI, will be celebrating the 11th Anniversary of a tradition that brings alumni, parents and friends from the two schools together each winter.
Over the years fans of this nationally recognized rivalry have had much to cheer about. Since 1920, the two teams have faced each other 169 times, with Hope leading 86-83. Amazingly, over the history of the matchup, just 91 points separate the two teams. Hope has scored 11,419 points, while Calvin has scored 11,328.
The "satellite parties", today hosted in New York, Los Angeles, and 60 other locations in between, were started in 1999 after representatives from both schools discovered a satellite broadcast of the Monon Bell Rivalry, an annual small college football matchup between DePauw University and Wabash College. The first year of the Hope vs. Calvin telecast featured rented time on a satellite that relayed the signal from WGVU in Grand Rapids, MI to just over 20 sites.
Today, with the help of digital satellite broadcasting, The Rivalry has grown to include 62 official sites. A complete listing of the parties, as well as statistics, broadcast information, and history of The Rivalry, can be found online at www.hopecalvin.com. The next meeting between the two teams is scheduled to tip-off on Saturday, Jan. 17 at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. If you listen carefully, you'll be able to hear the cheers from a location near you.

SiWC 2009 is being invaded by Little Green Men!
Friday night, Michael Slade is bringing his 'Shock Theatre' LIVE radio plays back to SiWC . And, in honour of the upcoming Night of All Souls, and the subsequent celebration of Hallowe'en, this year's entry will be a reimagining of the famous Hallowe'en broadcast of WAR OF THE WORLDS.
But those are not the little green men of which I speak [or...type.] Last year at the conference, we had a special celebration in the form of a Masque. To keep things fresh, instead of a Masque this year, we are planning to celebrate Slade's little green men by bringing in aliens of the writerly kind.
Our challenge to YOU, dear attendees, is to dress up on Friday night -- for dinner, if you choose, and for the special Friday Night version of Shock Theatre -- if you dare -- as YOUR favourite alien.
Any alien, in any imagined universe is fair game.
Is ET your guy? Have him phone home from SiWC 2009!
Would you rather beam up as Captain Kirk?
Do it!
So here's the deal.
Prizes for best costumes will be awarded. Give it your best shot, whether your favourite alien is Lovecraftian or more along the lines of the cute guy from Red Dwarf. And if you can't bring yourself to fashion a pair of Spock Ears to wear to the conference Friday night, we'll have some deely-boppers [yes, those boing-boings you wear on your head] available as a fundraiser for the local young writers contest.
So all the little green people will be winners!
Now, I'll be sending out a newsletter this weekend, but you favoured few who read the blog have heard the news here, first. Get your thinking cap -- and your alien antennae -- on, and come up with the best costume ever!

Now I always thought that it was a Stormtropper but this person said that it could have been Boba Fett standing with a group of Stormtroppers. It really does not sound like either of them to me.

Decyl glucoside is a beneficial ingredient in many types of skin and hair care products, including cleansers, shampoos and body washes. Considered relatively new for use in the beauty industry, decyl glucoside's benefits have led to its ever-increasing popularity for inclusion in products. The ingredient may also be referred to as d-glucoside decyl, decyl-b-d-glucopyranoside or b-d-glucopyranoside.
The primary role that decyl glucoside plays in skin and hair care products is that of a surfactant or cleansing agent. To understand the function of a surfactant, one must first understand some of the basic properties of liquids. Although liquids are fluid and take the shape of the container into which they are added, one drop of fluid has a distinct rounded shape. The shape of a drop is possible because liquids possess what is known as surface tension. This force helps to counteract external forces that surround a drop of liquid, so that it maintains its bead-like shape.
Each liquid has its own surface tension, and the higher the force of the tension, the more difficult it is to disrupt or destroy a drop of the liquid. The natural oil produced by the skin (sebum) and most other types of oils have a relatively high surface tension. When water runs over oils, the surface tension prevents the tiny oil droplets from being washed away, which is why washing your face, showering or bathing in just plain water is not an effective way to clean the skin and hair.
Surfactants like decyl glucoside lower the surface tension of liquids, including oils. When you apply a formula that contains the ingredient to your scalp, face or body, decyl glucoside makes it possible for water to remove the oil. In addition to its surfactant actions, decyl glucoside also helps products to produce a thick lather or foam.
Many types of surfactants are available on the market today, and the majority of these are derived from chemical origins. As a result, they have the potential to cause skin irritation, particularly in those with sensitive skin. Unlike most surfactants, decyl glucoside is derived from natural sources. The ingredient is made by combining the glucose sugar found in cornstarch with the fatty acid decanol found in coconut.
Sometimes called a biosurfactant, decyl glucoside is completely biodegradable and is often included in products found in natural and organic skin and hair care collections due to its environmentally-friendly properties. Products that feature decyl glucoside as a secondary surfactant may use concentrations of as little as 2 percent. In formulas where decyl glucoside is the primary surfactant, the concentration of the ingredient may be as high as 40 percent.
Decyl glucoside may also be added to skin care products that contain both oily and more watery ingredients to act as a stabilizing agent. When the ingredient is used in this way, decyl glucoside lowers the surface tension of the oily ingredients, so that they can remain mixed with the other ingredients in the formula. This prevents the product from separating and makes it require less shaking before use.
Research into the effects of decyl glucoside has found that the ingredient is far less likely to cause skin irritation than other types of surfactants. In fact, in one clinical study, decyl glucoside was found to cause no adverse effects when placed on normal, healthy skin for as long a period as 24 hours. The ingredient is used in products for all hair and skin types, including in products designed for use by children and those with sensitive skin. As of 2012, the safety of decyl glucoside had not been evaluated by any prominent consumer protection panels;however, the ingredient does comply with regulations established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the EU Cosmetics Directive in Europe.
It is important to keep in mind that decyl glucoside does have a rather high alkaline pH. People who suffer from skin allergies may be unable to use products that contain decyl glucoside because of this. Signs of skin allergies to decyl glucoside include redness, itching and mild swelling. An allergic reaction to the ingredient could occur with the very first use or not result until the product that contains the ingredient has been used several times.

Liverkick.com Light Heavyweight Rankings: May 2011
- Written by Dave Walsh
|Light Heavyweight
|Artem Levin
|Yodsanklai Fairtex
|Cosmo Alexandre
|L'houcine "Aussie" Ouzgni
|Nieky Holzken
|Dmitry Shakuta
|Vladimir Moravcik
|Alexander Stretsurenko
|Sem Braan
|Khalid Bourdif
Welcome back to the LiverKick.com rankings. These rankings are an attempt to break down the top 10 fighters in three different weight classes - Heavyweight, for fighters above the 85kg limit, Middleweight, for fighters at the 70-72.5kg limit, and Light Heavyweight, for fighters at the 77-84kg limit. Our rankings are based on in-ring accomplishments and recent wins and loses. We hope they reflect where these fighters currently stand, although we recognize that all rankings are inherently subjective.
May 2011
We've decided to take a different approach to the rankings, in the past Fraser Coffeen handled them, but as many are aware, Fraser has since had to step down from his responsibilities at LiverKick.com and has since moved on to other ventures. Our Top 10 list a while back moved on to being a top 25 to reflect a uniformity with our then home of SBNation. We've decided to move back to only including the Top 10 and to opt for the inclusion of Light Heavyweight (77kg - 84kg) to reflect the depth of talent in that weight class.
As this serves as our first foray into the Light Heavyweight division, feel free to speak out if you feel anything is out of place, but we did spend a considerable amount of time tweaking these rankings to make sure they were the best possible representation for this weight class. #1 Artem Levin was a no-brainer. In 2010 he won the IFMA European Muay Thai 75kg tournament, won the SportAccord Muay Thai 75kg tournament, became the WBC World Muay Thai Light Heavyweight Champion and won the It's Showtime 77kg MAX Championship. Then in 2011 he moved up to 81kg in the IFMA European Muay Thai tournament and won that as well. He has pretty much beaten a who's-who in the division and is easily reigning at the top.
The clear cut #2 is Yodsanklai, a Muay Thai fighter who also fights world class kickboxers in his down time. While Yods does hop between weight classes sometimes, he mainly fights at 77kg, with only a few kickboxing losses to Viyisile Colossa, John Wayne Parr and Artem Levin. Wins over Viyisile, the UK's Jordan Watson (I know, Fletch, I know) were still within the 70-73kg class, but a win over #3 Cosmo Alexandre propels him into the top of the division.
Cosmo is an interesting case, as he is among one of the top fighters in the world, and was at one time It's Showtime 77kg MAX Champion, until he decided to participate in Thai Fight without alerting It's Showtime as well as rejecting a lower offer for a fight and severed ties with It's Showtime. After a few tough losses he got back on track at Lion Fights in the United States a few weeks ago. #4 L'houcine "Aussie" Ouzgni is a fighter that can be frustrating at times. Aussie is clearly a 77kg fighter; he is tall, lean and powerful, but he still insists at times to drop down to 70kg where he looks a bit rough around the edges. A few losses can't derail forward movement for him, though, as he continues to forge ahead.
#5 Nieky Holzken is in action this weekend, fighting someone from his past home of 70kg in Artur Kyshenko at a catchweight of 74kg (technically within the -77kg division) at the Glory World Series. Since committing to 77kg Holzken has been on a roll, with only one loss to Aussie last year. If you don't know #6 Dmitry Shakuta you will soon enough. Shok is the former It's Showtime 77kg MAX Champion before losing the title to Cosmo, he also holds a rare win over Artem Levin and could at any time make a run at the top again. #7 Vladimir Moravcik has kept himself incredibly busy over the last few years against top competition and is still only walking around with 3 losses, he fights at 73 - 74kg usually, making him too big for 70kg and too small for 77kg, but a perfect fit for It's Showtime's 73kg MAX title.
#8 Alexander Stretsurenko is a fighter whose name you'll see on a lot of the top fighter's records as a (W), but still holds very impressive victories as well as holds his own with the very top fighters in the division. #9 Sem Braan falls into the same category as a fighter who is working his way up and ready to breakout. #10 Khalid Bourdif is a fighter that we honestly do not know a ton about, but every time we've seen him he was incredible impressive and holds some very good victories over big names, he could easily move up a few spots within this year if he remains active.

From Breitbart:
This resulted in a $4.3 million settlement in favor of TX, Fed govt, and the whistle-blower.Last year, Karen Reynolds, a former PPGC employee, filed a whistleblowers complaint with the Attorney General of Texas and the U.S. Department of Justice, alleging that the abortion business engaged in an intricate Medicaid fraud scheme.
According to LifeNews, the former health care assistant submitted company memos and emails to support her charge that PPGC had engaged in a system-wide plot to swindle Medicaid, Title XX, and the Womens Health Program out of tens of millions of dollars over the last decade.
Reynolds alleged that her bosses trained PPGC staff to bill government agencies for medical and family planning services that were never rendered, for services that would not generally be provided by medical personnel, and for abortion-related services that were covered up to appear as non-abortion-related.
Interestingly, though, this story was headlined on Breitbart because after the settlement was announced, The Ross Perot Foundation made a $1 contribution to Planned Parenhood Gulf Coast (the branch that had perpetrated this fraud).

Tablecloths & Table Runners
As your kitchen dining table is one of the focal points of your dining area, adding decoration such as tablecloths and table runners to it brings a sense of warmth and joy to the room, especially during a special occasion or celebration. Not just for providing an upgrade to your table's decor, tablecloths and table runners are also functional, allowing you to place foods on the table's surface without risk of harm as well as protecting your table from spills and scratches. A myriad of different runners and tablecloths are available to suit your needs for any occasion, whether it's just for everyday dinner or your Thanksgiving celebration.
When it comes to table linens, you definitely need a set that's ideal for everyday use. For table runners, consider a Belgian flax linen hemstitch table runner. Available in a variety of colors, this table runner is made of durable, yet luxurious Belgian flax and is designed to stand up to everyday use. Add boldness to your table with a splash of bright blue or red, and add matching napkins to polish off the look. Machine-washable, these table runners are easy to clean and take care of. Another terrific choice for every day is the Nubby table runner. Available in a neutral beige to suit any existing color palette, this textured runner is woven by hand and has a hemp and ramie construction. Perfect for casual events, easily clean this runner by wiping it with a damp cloth.
When you want full coverage for your table but also desire something decorative and elegant, opt for a delightful tablecloth from Pottery Barn. For example, consider a decorative tablecloth made of 100 percent chambray with beautiful embroidered accents. The warm colors are easily part of an autumn or Thanksgiving theme, yet are neutral enough to use all year round. This classic tablecloth is machine-washable, allowing for easy cleanup and care, especially after a big party. Another great option for a full tablecloth is the Ronan plaid tablecloth. Again, versatile enough for an entire year's use, you are also able to use this warm, deeply colored tablecloth seasonally as part of your holiday entertaining repertoire. Made of 100 percent acrylic, this tablecloth is easy to maintain and clean.
For a premium table runner with a color and style for everyday use, opt for a grainsack runner. This woven linen and cotton blend runner brings shabby chic and a rustic flair to your table, and is perfect for your next cocktail party or get-together. Two dark stripes contrast against a beige background, working well against any wood styles or existing colors. For an everyday table runner with a bit of a bolder look, consider styles such as the Alpine Toile table runner. A splashy red and white pattern definitely adds brightness and joy to your kitchen table. As with many others, this table runner is machine washable for easy care.
When it comes to the holidays, it's always satisfying to have holiday-themed table runners and tablecloths to help protect your table during big occasions, and also to add a decorative seasonal flair. Look for Halloween themes, such as a dark black table runner with white dancing skeletons, bringing a playful look to your centerpiece. For patriotic holidays, consider an American flag table runner, and pair matching linen napkins to show your pride. Decorating for Christmas is always a festive affair. Look for table runners, tablecloths and other linens that help dress your table up. A simple table runner with the words "Fa La La" in cursive is sure to be a big hit, while a spirited holiday table runner sports a reindeer pattern. Simple red or green table runners also work well to bring home the Christmas spirit.

So here is my tale of Opening Day, a little removed.
We stayed at the Millenium downtown Sunday night before the game. We pull up to the valet and then go to the back of our X-Terra to get our bags and the valet is writing out our ticket and we hear someone go by behind us and say to the guy, 'I'll be right back, don't park it please.' We didn't think a thing of it, but the valet says. "That's a Reds player there." By the time we look over we couldn't see who it was.
A little disappointed we didn't get to see the player, we go on inside to check in and standing there was Chris Denorfia. My wife likes to get autographs, but we've never seen players outside the park in a situation where she could approach them, plus she didn't have her ball in hand, so she decides not to bother him.
Less then 2 seconds after getting in line to check in she looks to the left and sitting in the chair, talking on his cell is Andy Abad. We debated for half a minute on if it was him or not, but c'mon, if you've seen him he's got a distinctive look. Still yet though she doesn't bother him. Me not being the type to go ask for an autograph [something about asking another grown man to sign my baseball seems odd to me] I go over to the center area of the lobby and sit down with the bags while she checks in.
Lo and behold, I look up and getting off the elevator, Javier Valentin. He get's in line behind my wife, my wife who really doens't like him because he takes away playing time from her favorite player LaRue. And as they were very slow checking people in, she spends the next twenty minutes standing there with this look on her face like she wants to turn around and tell him to go away. Now mind you my wife understands baseball and she knows everyone needs days off, but if we go to 10 games a year it seems like we always manage to go to Valentin's games so she really doesn't like him. Finally as she arrives at the front of the line to check in, he drops his cell phone and hits her with it. She turns around and hands it back to him. She tells me later she was oh so close to telling him he better not drop anything on Opening Day. Knowing my wife like I do, I'm very surprised she stood there the whole time and didn't say anything to him, especially over the phone dropping.
So now she's checking in, I'm sitting in the lobby waiting, and Valentin is in line behind her. Yet again I'm looking around and getting off the elevator is Edwin Encarnacion. He goes over to the line and starts talking to Valentin, in Spanish so my wife can't understand what they are saying for sure. EE is another one of her lesser liked players, she thinks he looks like a thug. I told her the Thug Life nickname had already been handed out on the board so she'd have to find another one to call him.
Finally the next clerk is available to help Valentin. Apparently he wanted to order something and it was being charged to him instead of the club or something. He kept telling her "No, I'm a ballplayer, it's supposed to be charged to the Reds." I want his job, pay, plus room and board.
After EE left Valentin to do his thing, we saw Ryan Freel as well, though he made a beeline [no not for the bar, but for the exit.]
We get all checked in by this point, and leave the Reds locker room, er, the hotel lobby and go up to our room to drop off our bags before heading out to Rock Bottom to eat. On the elevator ride down who is on the elevator with us but RedsZone favorite, Tony Womack. I had the urge to tell him to be scrappy and draw a walk or two. Apparently just thinking it let him have a big-ish day. I offer my services to ride the elevator with other players when they need to up their OPS for us as well.
That was pretty much it for seeing players the first night, but on game day we left in the early part of the 8th inning and walked back to the hotel to leave and got one more encounter with a Reds player, of the past variety. None other than Grand Marshall and Reds HoFer Mario Soto walked up from the park himself. I almost asked for his autograph because I remember him well from my childhood, but he certainly looked like he didn't want to speak to me, just nodding and going right on in the hotel. I won't say he was/is rude, but I got the impression he might have been.
All in all, very out of the ordinary to see that many players outside the park, at least for me not being a Cincinnati native or resident. Very fun in some strange sort of way, so the Opening Day festivities were meorable to say the least.

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things
on Television
Miami Vice
Ferraris -
Detective James
"Sonny" Crockett (Don Johnson) appeared on the
police drama MIAMI VICE/NBC/1984-89. Working
undercover for Miami's vice-squad narcotics
division, Sonny was issued a fancy black Ferrari
365/GTB/4 Daytona Spyder sports car convertible
(model year 1968-1974) with beige
leather interior. The series car (Florida
license: ZAQ178) was actually a kit car with a
fiberglass body and Corvette chassis.
In 1986,
on episode No. 45 "When Irish Eyes Are Crying"
while buying illegal munitions, Sonny asked the
gunrunners if the six-year-old explosives were
still potent. Picking up a shoulder rocket
launcher, the gunrunner aimed at Sonny's
$150,000 car and blew it to pieces.
Eventually his superiors reissued Sonny a
$135,000 Ferrari Testarossa (Florida license
plate: ATF00M). Red was the
standard color for that model (Testarossa is
Italian for "red-head") but Sonny's car was
painted white. It had a top speed of 183 m.p.h.
Sonny's partner, Detective Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs
(Philip Michael Thomas) drove a blue-gray 1963
Fleetwood Cadillac DeVille convertible.
Their fellow officers Det. Larry Zito (John Diehl) and
Det. Stan Switek (Michael Talbott) drove a 1960s
Ford Van surveillance vehicle called "The Bug
Van" (because it had a big bug on the roof).

So, it turns out, WalMart is the only place open at 10:15pm on a Sunday night with computer equipment. They had some 10/100 hubs (not switches, but good enough for now).
When we get home, it turns out we also need a new dial-up modem (WalMart only had internals, which I intend never to buy). But at least our LAN is back up and running.
But once again steeds.com and our other domains are down for a while (until sometime tomorrow).
Update: I forgot I had a modem in my IBM
Thinkpad. It's one of those crappy "WinModems"
that almost never work under Linux, but in this
case, IBM released drivers. Go IBM!
I'll be glad to be rid of them. I liked them a long time as they were flexible and gave me the features I needed without requiring me to buy a big fancy plan. But they have entirely too many outages between their POPs and HQ.
So, if anyone wants good, Unix-based web/mail hosting (we'll be using some mix of Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD), go to steedshosting.net to see prices and sign up.
I found two different places where I'd mistyped my IP address when reconfiguring DNS for my domains (one was in DNS zone file, and the other was at the domain registrar (GoDaddy rocks!)) which had prevented me from being back in service probably a day or two ago.
So, I'm getting email again, and I presume our web sites are back online again. Even mail which was queued up at our ISP on their backup MX host is coming through. Yay!
I thought it was just because staubly.net was the first domain I changed over, and others hadn't propogated yet. Or, it was less widely used, therefor wasn't in local DNS caches.
Gaaa... sometimes I hate networks.
Update: For the next week or so, please use the address vicky at staubly dot net to email me.
Update: Nevermind, my email is back.
If I manage it, it will be through the supreme goodness of GoDaddy and Comcast. And fuck Crosslink for cutting me off without some warning.
I am not a poor person. I make enough to satisfy most people. However, I have some expensives I have no business having. And I think it's time to make some changes in my life to lower the occurance of unexpected expenses (and other drama).
Steeds will be back up on April 7th, if not before. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Now, this fall, I'll vote for Kerry, just because he isn't Bush (I'd have preferred Kucinich). But I think Kerry is just as much a "political insider" as anyone. Sort of how I supported Clinton, even though he lied, cheated on his wife, etc. He simply agreed with more of my positions than his opponents.
Unfortunately, what's popular in this country is just as likely to be morally wrong (in my view) as morally right. The phrase "tyranny of the majority" wasn't just some theoretical ramblings. It's a real danger in this country. One need only look at the quality of popular television shows to know a little something about the intellect and wisdom of the majority of Americans (and, lest anyone think me "anti-American", the majority of humans). But, fortunately, in the case of television, niche shows and networks are available which allow minority tastes and interests to be satisfied. This is not the case when the majority of people in a region (state, country, etc.) try to legislate the behavior of everyone.
Ok, rant over.
That's right, I'm going to Ozzfest this summer (July). Should be a blast. I was afraid I'd never get to see Rob Halford perform with Priest, but they reunited this fall. There's some uncertainty about whether Ozzy will really be performing (after his recent ATV accident), but I can live even if he's not there (after all, I did see the original Black Sabbath line-up they had at a previous Ozzfest).
Oh yeah, and Iced Earth is playing at Jaxx this spring, and I'd like to see them too, money permitting.
Update: (next day) The tickets arrived. Yay!
So, all in all I have it running and doing what I want. Pretty cool, eh? Now, I just have to tear things apart so I can put it at the base of my "tower of sparcs".
I was able to get NetBSD installed and configured last night. Today, however, I've been trying to add packages (tcsh, emacs, all my favorites). It seems NetBSD doesn't have the sparc64 versions of its binary packages (if it does, and I just haven't been looking in the right place, let me know). Instead you have to download the pkgsrc.tar.gz archive, and install all your packages from source (I feel like I'm running "Gentoo BSD").
At least it's a fairly fast Sun (compared to the 40MHz SparcStation-2's I have), so the compiles go reasonably fast.
I haven't yet plugged it in to see
what (if anything) is already on the disk drive.
It doesn't matter much, as I'm planning to
NetBSD for
sparc64. Hooray for "Sparcy Goodness".

|Worldwide Flyfishing Discussion Talk flyfishing with members around the world!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Discussion Board Newsletter
----- NEWSLETTER Feb 24, 2000 -----
This is the first of a series of periodical Newsletters concerning the board. If you would like to see your issues, concerns or comments in the newsletter, email the administra tor directly. This will allow Juro to concentrate on the other tasks he is involved with.
In this Newsletter...
I. Published Threads
II. Commerce is Coming
III. Appointments and Positions
IV. General Notes
I. Introducing "Published Threads"
In order to re-use the wealth of knowledge that is brought to this site by it's members, there will be a new kind of thread introduced. This thread is called a "Published" thread. The comment field for the thread will contain the description "*** Note: PUBLISHED THREAD ***".
Published threads will be used as permanent references throughout the site and will be accessible (i.e.: linked) from multiple locations around the site structure. Therefore, Juro and I ask that the messages for these (and only these) threads be tailored for permanent reading quality in terms of content.
Spelling, grammar, and all that junk does NOT matter - the point is that we should maintain the idea that we are writing in a reference book or article as a group.
As an example, Juro has agreed to let me add a new topic in the Open Forum called "Vested Knowledge". In this topic, we will conduct discussions that will be referenced from the Expert*ise page. These discussions will add to the database of knowledge that we building for ourselves and fellow members over time.
We will continue to keep all other areas conversational and dynamic, perhaps even move into MORE dynamic discussion board styles and chats (Juro tells me the alpha test crowd may remember some of the cool board software that was tested back then). The PUBLISHED thread is only an addition to what is already here and does not affect anything already in progress.
II. Commerce is Coming
As the content base and membership grows, the opportunity will arise for us to align with suppliers of fine goods and services. As the costs and investments of the membership grows, we need creative ways of generating financial backing for prizes, trips, gear to field test, etc. Monthly site overhead and software needs increase and we'd like to grow to pay members and consultants for needed services.
Although it is critical to maintain the momentum we have thus far (over 300,000 hits since Jan 17th) the addition of commerce tools will make our site more interesting and will open a new set of possibilities for members and advertisers alike.
Member emeritus Al Deluca will be working on this program, if there are any out there who would like to get involved contact ME or Juro or Al for details.
III. Appointments and Positions
Juro is pleased to annouce that Jeff Roop will be managing the Fly Pattern Database Program. We will be providing him with tools and material to assemble fly patterns and images for members, and act as liaison to master fly tyers like Bob Veverka and oversee the publishing of periodical contributions. Please welcome ROOP and offer your support as we get going.
Aubert Smith of the Rod Builder's Workshop is resident rod building master. His many decades of rod building expertise are an asset to the Forum, and his generous offer to design and construct the rods for the two-handed rod program is appreciated. He will be on-line sometime next week.
The Writer's Guild has been a popular program. Juro will act as editor for the time being. In truth all Guild members are editors as well as contributors. There will be a new page dedicated to the Guild in Volume II. Please re-register if your name is not listed when it goes up.
We have approached Steve Moore to act as Director of the Caribe Project. (Congratulations Steve on the new family addition!) When his life settles down he will decide if his schedule will allow his involvement to that degree.
Many more annoucements will follow, feel free to volunteer your special skills.
We are accepting "posse" members for the following programs:

1) Regional Reporters
2) Sponsor Schnauzers
3) Club/Organization Liaisons
IV. General Notes:
Volume 2 is almost complete. We are waiting on a few sections to complete. The release will precede the Wilmington Fly Fishing Show. Although there is no direct significance of the two events, it gives us a deadline to shoot for.
Clubs and Organizations Program is an important part of our mission. Juro has been contacting organizations around the web to offer partnerships and promotions to non-profit organizations. The program needs a coordinator who feels strong in public relations and understands how to help non-profit organizations promote conservation and public awareness. Please apply if you feel you can help.
Forum Partner Program is a program wherein we partner with other smaller -or- regionally focused sites to create an integrated web experience. This is more than the typical "chain" approach, but instead we permit and encourage agreed segments of our web media within each other's frames. The bottom line is when many web resources work together the member wins.
Foremost, Juro and I say "THANK YOU" for your enthusiasm and support as we grow beyond this first edition of the Fly Fishing Forum. We've been here for a little over a month and thanks to you, it feels like we have a lot of fun just ahead.

ASG Catherine Bragg ends visit to Colombia
ASG Catherine Bragg yesterday completed her five-day mission to Colombia. During the visit, she met with national and local authorities, humanitarian partners and with some of the most vulnerable people, including Afro-Colombian, indigenous, and internally displaced persons, affected by both the recent floods and regional armed conflict.
Ms Bragg traveled to Tumaco in Nariño Department where she met national, indigenous and traditional community authorities, as well as national and international humanitarian partners. "I am disturbed that human rights violations, use of landmines, child recruitment by armed groups, and attacks against vulnerable communities all remain serious problems in some parts of Colombia," she said.
During her visit to Colombia, Ms. Bragg underscored the need for protection and assistance for vulnerable communities. She discussed the humanitarian situation with ministers and national and local authorities and noted the impressive response provided by the Colombian authorities, including through the Calamity Fund and flood response plan that is supported by international partners.
On June 10 2011, President Juan Manuel Santos signed Colombia's new Victims and Land Restitution Law, which aims to restore lands to Colombians who have been driven from their homes by violence and provide reparations to victims of human rights violations. Ms. Bragg was hopeful this historical move will address some of the needs of vulnerable communities and emphasized that the UN will play a key role in supporting the Government in implementing the law.
Ms. Bragg also accompanied UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on his visit to flood-affected areas near Cartagena in Bolivar Department. Ms. Bragg reiterated the complementary support the UN and its partners have provided to the people and the Government of Colombia in addressing humanitarian needs during the floods, which affected 612,873 people between April and May 2011. The total number of people affected by floods since April 2010 is 3.5 million.
"Humanitarian partners stand ready to work side by side with the Government of Colombia to improve information management on humanitarian gaps and work on preparedness to mitigate the effects of natural disasters," emphasized Ms. Bragg.

1. Reinvent Your Pieces
Get the look: The coffee table and chairs are from Rooms & Gardens. The China Seas Kazak chair fabric and Java Java stool fabric in New Blue on White are from Quadrille Fabrics. The sea grass rug is from Merida.
When the new owners of a cottage in Summerland, California, looked out their windows to the view, they felt like they were "floating on an endless sea." So designer Laura Motley of Rooms & Gardens in Santa Barbara took her cues—and hues—from the Pacific to help them create a fresh look inside the 2,000-square-foot cottage. Motley chose an ikat fabric from the China Seas Suncloth collection for the living room chairs to complement the fretwork on the stools. The Javanese teak table was cut down to coffee table height.

By John L. Pitts/NEMS Daily Journal
Rebuffed by Auburn, Lavon Hooks is taking his talents to Oxford.
The standout defensive tackle at Northeast Mississippi Community College delayed his decision for a day before signing with Ole Miss on Thursday. He'll enroll in January and be eligible for the 2013 season.
"It was a lot of stress, a whole bunch," Hooks told his hometown newspaper, the Gwinnett Daily Post. "I wanted to go somewhere I knew I could make an immediate impact and play on a big stage, and go some place that would make me happy and make my family happy."
The 6-foot-4, 290-pounder was rated the top junior college prospect by 247Sports.com and 15th overall by ESPN.com. He had 20.5 tackles for loss – including 9.5 sacks – this season for the Tigers.
focus on football
He was a standout basketball player before turning his sole focus to football.
"It was a difficult recruiting battle, and we could not be more excited," Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said in a statement. "It's always special to sign a player from one of our outstanding Mississippi junior colleges. Lavon is an explosive player who will make an immediate impact on our defensive line."
Hooks took official visits to Washington, Baylor, Arizona State, Ole Miss and Nebraska. He also took unofficial visits to Auburn and Mississippi State.
Hooks told the Gwinnett paper that he wanted to sign with Auburn on Wednesday, but he had an English class credit the school wouldn't accept in his transfer.
"The SEC accepted it, but the institution didn't. Ole Miss and Mississippi State accepted it," Hooks told the paper.
Hooks is the fourth player in the Rebels' early signing class.
Ole Miss hopes to land another defensive lineman from Gwinnett County – Grayson senior defensive end Robert Nkemdiche, the nation's top recruit, who'll sign in February.
"Ole Miss is on the rise," Hooks said. "They've got great coaches and players that want to win."

Hammoudi to discuss Muslim pilgrimage, April 27
Posted April 20, 2006; 10:55 p.m.
Abdellah Hammoudi, Princeton professor of anthropology, will discuss
the Muslim pilgrimage or hajj in a lecture at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April
27, in 219 Burr Hall.
His talk, titled "Portrait of Pilgrimage: The Individual and the Collective," will be based on his most recent book, "A Season in Mecca: Narrative of a Pilgrimage."
The book was awarded second prize in the 2005 Lettre Ulysses Award for the Art of Reportage. According to the international jury for the award, the book "describes the strong, sensual impressions in Medina and Mecca, and impressively gives anthropological, historical, religious and social insights into Islam."
Hammoudi's talk is sponsored by the Institute for the Transregional Study of the Contemporary Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia and the Department of Anthropology.

THAT same luncheon party at Brockhurst, if not notably satisfactory to the hosts, afforded much subsequent food for meditation to one at least of the guests. During the evening immediately following it, and even in the watches of the night, Lady Louisa Barking's thought was persistently engaged with the subject of Richard Calmady, his looks, his character, his temper, his rent‐roll, the acreage of his estates, and his prospects generally. Nor did her interest remain hidden and inarticulate. For, finding that in various particulars her knowledge was superficial and clearly insufficient, on her journey from Westchurch up to town next day, in company with her brother Ludovic, she put so many questions to that accomplished, young gentleman that he shortly divined some serious purpose in her inquiry.
"We all recognise, my dear Louisa," he remarked presently, laying aside the day's Times, of which he had vainly essayed the study, with an air of gentle resignation, crossing his long legs and leaning back in his corner of the railway carriage,—"that you are the possessor of an eminently practical mind. You have run the family for some years now, not without numerous successes, among which may be reckoned your running of yourself into the arms—if you will pardon my mentioning them—of my estimable brother‐in‐law, Barking."
"Really, Ludovic!" his sister protested.
"Let me entreat you not to turn restive, Louisa," Mr. Quayle rejoined with the utmost suavity. "I am paying a high compliment to your intelligence. To have run into the arms of Mr. Barking, or indeed of anybody else, casually and involuntarily, to have blundered into them—if I may so express myself—would have been a stupidity. But to run into them intentionally and page: 255 voluntarily argues considerable powers of strategy, an intelligent direction of movement which I respect and admire."
"You are really exceedingly provoking, Ludovic!"
Lady Louisa pushed the square, leather‐covered dressing‐case, on which her feet had been resting, impatiently aside.
"Far from it," the young man answered. "Can I put that box anywhere else for you? You like it just where it is?—Yes? But I assure you I am not provoking. I am merely complimentary. Conversation is an art, Louisa. None of my sisters ever can be got to understand that. It is dreadfully crude to rush in waist‐deep at once. There should be feints and approaches. You should nibble at your sugar with a graceful coyness. You should cut a few frills and skirmish a little before setting the battle actively in array. And it is just this that I have been striving to do during the last five minutes. But you do not appear to appreciate the commendable style of my preliminaries. You want to engage immediately. There is usually a first‐rate underlying reason for your interest in anybody"—
Again the lady shifted the position of the dressing‐case.
"To the right?" inquired Mr. Quayle extending his hand, his head a little on one side, his long neck directed forward, while he regarded first his sister and then the dressing‐case with infuriating urbanity. "No? Let us come to Hecuba, then. Let us dissemble no longer, but put it plainly. What, oh, Louisa! what are you driving at in respect of my very dear friend, Dickie Calmady?"
Now it was unquestionably most desirable for her to keep on the fair‐weather side of Mr. Quayle just then. Yet the flesh is weak. Lady Louisa Barking could not control a movement of self‐justification. She spoke with dignity, severely.
"It is all very well for you to say those sorts of things, Ludovic"—
"What sorts of things?" he inquired mildly.
"But I should be glad to know what would have become of the family by now, unless someone had come forward and taken matters in hand? Of course one gets no thanks for it. One never does get any thanks for doing one's duty, however wearing it is to oneself and however much others profit. But somebody had to sacrifice themselves. Mama is unequal to any exertion. You know what papa is"—
"I do, I do," murmured Mr. Quayle, raising his gaze piously to the roof of the railway carriage.
"If he has one of the boys to tramp over the country with page: 256 him at Whitney, and one of the girls to ride with him in London, he is perfectly happy and content. He is alarmingly improvident. He would prefer keeping the whole family at home doing nothing"—
"Save laughing at his jokes. My father craves the support of a sympathetic audience."
"Shotover is worse than useless."
"Except to the guileless Israelite he is. Absolutely true, Louisa."
"Guy would never have gone into the army when he left Eton unless I had insisted upon it. And it was entirely through the Barkings' influence—at my representation of course—that Eddie got a berth in that Liverpool cotton‐broker's business. I am sure Alicia is very comfortably married. I know George Winterbotham is not the least interesting, but he is perfectly gentlemanlike and presentable, and so on, and he makes her a most devoted husband. And from what Mr. Barking heard the other day at the Club from somebody or other, I forget who, but someone connected with the Government, you know, there is every probability of George getting that permanent undersecretaryship."
"Did I not start by declaring you had achieved numerous successes?" Ludovic inquired. "Yet we stray from the point, Louisa. For do I not still remain ignorant of the root of your sudden interest in my friend Dickie Calmady? And I thirst to learn how you propose to work him into the triumphant development of our family fortunes."
The proportions of Lady Louisa's small mouth contracted still further into an expression of great decision, while she glanced at the landscape reeling away from the window of the railway carriage. In the past twelve hours autumn had given place to winter. The bare hedges showed black, while the fallen leaves of the hedgerow trees formed unsightly blotches of sodden brown and purple upon the dirty green of the pastures. Over all brooded an opaque, grey‐brown sky, sullen and impenetrable. Lady Louisa saw all this. But she was one of those persons happily, for themselves, unaffected by such abstractions as the aspects of nature. Her purposes were immediate and practical. She followed them with praiseworthy persistence. The landscape merely engaged her eyes because she, just now, preferred looking out of the window to looking her brother in the face.
"Something must be done for the younger girls," she announced. "I feel pretty confident about Emily's future. We need not go into that. Maggie, if she marries at all—and page: 257 she really is very useful at home, in looking after the servants and entertaining, and so on—if she marries at all, will marry late. She has no particular attractions as girls go. Her figure is too solid, and she talks too much. But she will make a very presentable middle‐aged woman—sensible, dependable, an excellent ménagère. Certainly she had better marry late."
"A mature clergyman when she is rising forty—a widowed bishop, for instance. Yes, I approve that," Mr. Quayle rejoined reflectively. "It is well conceived, Louisa. We must keep an eye on the Bench and carefully note any episcopal matrimonial vacancy. Bishops have a little turn, I observe, for marrying somebody who is somebody—specially en secondes noces, good men. Yes, it is well thought of. With careful steering we may bring Maggie to anchor in a palace yet. Maggie is rather dogmatic, she would make not half a bad Mrs. Proudie. So she is disposed of, and then?"
For a few seconds the lady held silent converse with herself. At last she addressed her companion in tones of unwonted cordiality.
"You are by far the most sensible of the family, Ludovic," she began.
"And in a family so renowned for intellect, so conspicuous for 'parts and learning,' as Macaulay puts it, that is indeed a distinction!"—Mr. Quayle bowed slightly in his comfortable corner. "A thousand thanks, Louisa," he murmured.
"I would not breathe a syllable of this to any of the others," she continued. "You know how the girls chatter. Alicia, I am sorry to say, is as bad as any of them. They would discuss the question without intermission—simply, you know, talk the whole thing to death."
"Poor thing!—Yet, after all, what thing?" the young man inquired urbanely.
Lady Louisa bit her lip. He was very irritating, while she was very much in earnest. It was her misfortune usually to be a good deal in earnest.
"There is Constance," she remarked, somewhat abruptly.
"Precisely—there is poor, dear, innocent, rather foolish, little Connie. It occurred to me we might be coming to that."
In his turn Mr. Quayle fell silent, and contemplated the reeling landscape. Pasture had given place to wide stretches of dark moorland on either side the railway line, with a pallor of sour bog grasses in the hollows. The outlook was uncheerful. Perhaps it was that which caused the young man to shake his head.
"I recognise the brilliancy of the conception, Louisa. It page: 258 reflects credit upon your imagination and—your daring," he said presently. "But you won't be able to work it."
"Pray why not?" almost snapped Lady Louisa.
Mr. Quayle settled himself back in his corner again. His handsome face was all sweetness, indulgent though argumentative. He was nothing, clearly, unless reasonable.
"Personally, I am extremely fond of Dickie Calmady," he began. "I permit myself—honestly I do—moments of enthusiasm regarding him. I should esteem the woman lucky who married him. Yet I could imagine a prejudice might exist in some minds—minds of a less emancipated and finely comprehensive order than yours and my own of course—against such an alliance. Take my father's mind, for instance—and unhappily my father dotes on Connie. And he is more obstinate than nineteen dozen—well, I leave you to fill in the comparison mentally, Louisa. It might be slightly wanting in filial respect to put it into words."
Again he shook his head in pensive solemnity.
"I give you credit for prodigious push and tenacity, for a remarkable capacity of generalship, in short. Yet I cannot disguise from myself the certainty that you would never square my father."
"But suppose she wishes it herself? Papa would deny Connie nothing," the other objected. She was obliged to raise her voice to a point of shrillness, hardly compatible with the dignity of the noble house of Fallowfeild, doublé with all the gold of all the Barkings, for the train was banging over the points and roaring between the platforms of a local junction. Mr. Quayle made a deprecating gesture, put his hands over his ears, and again gently shook his head, intimating that no person possessed either of nerves or self‐respect could be expected to carry on a conversation under existing conditions. Lady Louisa desisted. But, as soon as the train passed into the comparative quiet of the open country, she took up her parable again, and took it up in a tone of authority.
"Of course I admit there is something to get over. It would be ridiculous not to admit that. And I am always determined to be perfectly straightforward. I detest humbug of any kind. So I do not deny for a moment that there is something. Still it would be a very good marriage for Constance, a very good marriage, indeed. Even papa must acknowledge that. Money, position, age, everything of that kind, in its favour. One could not expect to have all that without some make‐weight. I should not regret it, for I feel it might really be bad for Connie to have so much without some make‐weight. And I remarked page: 259 yesterday—I could not help remarking it—that she was very much occupied about Sir Richard Calmady."
"Connie is a little goose," Mr. Quayle permitted himself to remark, and for once there was quite a sour edge to his sweetness.
"Connie is not quick, she is not sensitive," his sister continued. "And, really, under all the circumstances, that perhaps is just as well. But she is a good child, and would believe almost anything you told her. She has an affectionate and obedient disposition, and she never attempts to think for herself. I don't believe it would ever occur to her to object to his—his peculiarities, unless some mischievous person suggested it to her. And then, as I tell you, I remarked she was very much occupied about him."
Once again Mr. Quayle sought counsel of the landscape which once again had changed in character. For here civilisation began to trail her skirts very visibly, and the edges of those skirts were torn and frayed, notably unhandsome. The open moorland had given place to flat market‐gardens and leafless orchards sloppy with wet. Innumerable cabbages, innumerable stunted, black‐branched apple and pear trees, avenues of dilapidated pea and bean sticks, reeled away to right and left. The semi‐suburban towns stretched forth long, rawly‐red arms of ugly, little, jerry‐built streets and terraces. Tall chimneys and unlovely gasometers—these last showing as collections of some monstrous spawn—rose against the opaque sky, a sky rendered momentarily more opaque, dirtier and more dingy, by the masses of London smoke hanging along the eastern horizon.
Usually Ludovic knew his own mind clearly enough. The atmosphere of it was very far from being hazy. Now that atmosphere bore annoying resemblance to the opacity obtaining overhead and along the eastern horizon. The young man's sympathies—or were they his prejudices?—had a convenient habit of ranging themselves immediately on one side or other of any question presenting itself to him. But in the present case they were mixed. They pulled both ways, and this vexed him. For he liked to suppose himself very ripe, cynical, and disillusioned, while, in good truth, sentiment had more than a word to say in most of his opinions and decisions. Now sentiment ruled him strongly and pushed him—but, unfortunately, in diametrically opposite directions. The sentiment of friendship compelled him hitherward. While another sentiment, which he refused to define—he recognised it as wholesome, yet he was a trifle ashamed of it—compelled him quite other‐where. He took refuge in an adroit begging of the question.page: 260
"After all are you not committing the fundamental error of reckoning without your host, Louisa?" he inquired. "Connie may be a good deal occupied about Calmady, but thereby may only give further proof of her own silliness. I certainly discovered no particular sign of Calmady being occupied about Connie. He was very much more occupied about the fair cousin, Helen de Vallorbes, than about any one of us, my illustrious self included, as far as I could see."
In her secret soul his hearer had to own this statement just. But she kept the owning to herself, and, with a rapidity upon which she could not help congratulating herself, instituted a flanking movement.
"You hear all the gossip, Ludovic," she said. "Of course it is no good my asking Mr. Barking about that sort of thing. Even if he heard it he would not remember it. His mind is too much engaged. If a woman marries a man with large political interests she must just give herself to them generously. It is very interesting, and one feels, of course, one is helping to make history. But still one has to sacrifice something. I hear next to nothing of what is going on—the gossip, I mean. And so tell me, what do you hear about her, about Madame de Vallorbes?"
"At first hand only that which you must know perfectly well yourself, my dear Louisa.—Didn't you sit opposite to her at luncheon, yesterday?—That she is a vastly good‐looking and attractive woman."
"At second hand, then?"
"At second hand? Oh! at second hand I know various amiable little odds and ends such as are commonly reported by the uncharitable and censorious," Ludovic answered mildly. "'Probably more than half of those little treasures are pure fiction, generated by envy, conceived by malice."
"Pray, Ludovic!" his sister exclaimed. But she recovered herself,—and added:—"You may as well tell me all the same. I think, under the circumstances, it would be better for me to hear."
"You really wish to hear? Well, I give it you for what it is worth. I don't vouch for the truth of a single item. For all we can tell, nice, kind friends may be recounting kindred anecdotes of Alicia and the blameless Winterbotham, or even of you, Louisa, and Mr. Barking."
Mr. Quayle fixed a glance of surpassing graciousness upon his sister as he uttered these agreeable suggestions, and fervid curiosity alone enabled her to resist a rejoinder and to maintain a dignified silence.
"It is said—and this probably is true—that she never cared two page: 261 straws for de Vallorbes, but was jockeyed into the marriage—just as you might jockey Constance, you know, Louisa—by her mother, who has the reputation of being a somewhat frisky matron with a keen eye to the main chance. She is not quite all, I understand, a tender heart could desire in the way of a female parent. It is further said that la belle Helène makes the dollars fly even more freely than did de Vallorbes in his best days, and he has the credit of having been something of a viveur. He knew not only his Paris, but his Baden‐Baden, and his Naples, and various other warm corners where great and good men do commonly congregate. It is added that la belle Helène already gives promise of being playful in other ways besides that of expenditure. And that de Vallorbes has been heard to lament, openly, that he is not a native of some enlightened country in which the divorce court charitably intervenes to sever over‐hard connubial knots. In short, it is rumoured that de Vallorbes is not a conspicuous example of the wildly happy husband."
"In short, she is not respec"—
But the young man held up his hands and cried out feelingly:—
"Don't, pray don't, my dear Louisa. Let us walk delicately as Agag—my father's morning ministrations to the maids again! For how, as I pointed out just now, do we know what insidious little tales may not be in circulation regarding yourself and those nearest and dearest to you?"
Ludovic Quayle turned his head and once more looked out of the window, his beautiful mouth visited by a slightly malicious smile. The train was sliding onward above crowded, sordid courts and narrow alleys, festering, as it seemed, with a very plague of poverty‐stricken and unwholesome humanity. Here the line runs parallel to the river—sullen to‐day, blotted with black floats and lines of grimy barges, which straining, smoke‐vomiting steam‐tugs towed slowly against a strong flowing tide. On the opposite bank the heavy masses of the Abbey, the long decorated facade and towers of the Houses of Parliament, stood out ghostly and livid in a gleam of frail, unrelated sunshine against the murk of the smoky sky.
"I should have supposed Sir Richard Calmady was steady," Lady Louisa remarked, inconsequently and rather stiffly.—Ludovic really was exasperating.
"Steady? Oh! perfectly. Poor, dear chap, he hasn't had much chance of being anything else as yet."
"Still, of course, Lady Calmady would prefer his being settled. Clearly it would be much better in every way. All things considered, he is certainly one of the people who should marry page: 262 young. And Connie would be an excellent marriage for him, excellent—thoroughly suitable, better, really, than on the face of it he could hope for.—Ludovic, just look out please and see if the carriage is here. Pocock always loses her head at a terminus, and misses the men‐servants. Yes, there is Frederic—with his back to the train, looking the wrong way, of course. He really is too stupid."
Mr. Quayle, however, succeeded in attracting the footman's attention, and, assisted by that functionary and the lean and anxious Pocock—her arms full of bags and umbrellas—conveyed his sister out of the railway carriage and into the waiting brougham. She graciously offered to put him down at his rooms, in St. James's Place, on her way to the Barking mansion in Albert Gate, but the young man declined that honour.
"Good‐bye, Louisa," he said, leaning his elbows on the open window of the brougham and thereby presenting the back view of an irreproachably cut overcoat and trousers to the passers‐by. "I have to thank you for a most interesting and instructive journey. Your efforts to secure the prosperity of the family are wholly praiseworthy. I commend them. I have a profound respect for your generalship. Still, pauper though I am, I am willing to lay you a hundred to one in golden guineas that you will never square papa."
Subsequently the young man bestowed himself in a hansom, and rattled away in the wake of the Barking equipage down the objectionably steep hill which leads from the roar and turmoil of the station into the Waterloo Bridge road.
"I might have offered heavier odds," he said to himself, "for never, never will she square papa!"
And, not without a slight sense of shame, he was conscious that he made this reflection with a measure of relief.

Single DIN: 1 DIN dimensions will work with all single DIN installation kits we have to offer. Single DIN radios are the most common size for after-market stereos.
Single DIN slot with flip-out screen: The DIN stereo includes a retractable, flip-out screen. Before purchasing, make measurements to be sure there is no interference with dash accessories such as A/C vents or shift levers.
Single DIN slot with a larger face: Standard single DIN size, but the display is larger then the standard single DIN size. Due to the nature of the larger face, problems may arise when installing in particular vehicles. These stereos are great for single DIN slots where you want a larger screen.
1.5 DIN: This size is very uncommon in vehicles, however this size opening is most commonly found in Chrysler and Chevrolet vehicles.
Double DIN: Approximately 4-inches in height, this size is becoming more common every year. Prior to 2000, this size was typically only found in Japanese vehicles such as those made by Honda or Toyota. Now, it is becoming more popular for many vehicles to be fit with a Double DIN opening.
Detachable / Removable faceplate security: The most common anti-theft feature. It allows you to take the faceplate with you, thus disallowing operation, which deters theft.
Security Codes: Mainly a feature in high end video units which do not have a detachable face / screen. Once the unit is uninstalled (or stolen), a security code (or PIN) is required upon reinstallation. Though you no longer have your unit after the theft, the thief also does not have your security code, which makes the unit useless. The hope is the thief knows which units have security codes and he/she chooses not to steal your unit because of the security code.
Ghost technology: This is not commonly used, but can be found primarily in a select number of 2004-2005 head units. It creates an illusion that no unit is installed by appearing completely black when turned off. Potential thieves may steer clear because it appears as though no head unit is installed.
Anti-theft covers: Similar to ghost and hiding faces because they only create an illusion that the face/unit is not in place.
ESN: Stands for Electronic Serial Number. Allows the disabling of the radio and allows tracking if it is stolen.
Some manufacturers display peak power ratings on the face of their products to increase the appeal to consumers. The RMS power rating is more accurate, and we recommend using it for product comparison.
Dot-Matrix Text Display: A simple display which uses dots in specific illuminated color(s) to light up and form letters or numbers that are displayed on the receiver.
Graphic or Motion Display: Typically found in mid to high-end receivers and give your text information and receiver more life by adding motion, backgrounds, or multiple colors to your display. There are types of graphic displays such as 3D Graphic, Motion, and OEL (Organic Electroluminescent) displays. They can range from one color to full color displays and typically allow you to select from one of many built-in animations, background images, screensavers or other graphics to enhance your experience and add an extra bit of personality to your system. Some units also come with software that allow you to load your own customizable pictures or animations.
LCD Monitor Display: Can be as small as 2" or as large as 10". Some LCD displays are motorized for angle adjustment. LCD monitors display full motion video playback as well as your standard text such as track status, radio station information and more depending on the receiver's features.
Multi-Color: When more than one color is on the display, for example one part of the text is white, while the other part is blue.
Variable-Color: The display colors can be changed by the user. If the default color of text/display is blue for example, the user can change the settings to where the color turns to red. Variable color displays are typically described in detail in the item's description.
TFT-LCD Display: In-dash receivers with a video screen that display multiple colors and often times video such as DVD, navigation or other video sources.
This rating applies to both external car amplifiers, as well as the amplifiers inside of in-dash stereos.
RCA Composite Inputs
These are your typical red, white, and yellow RCA composite cables that are common among devices with audio and video inputs. The red and white cables are dedicated for audio. The red cable is for the right channel and the white is for the left channel. The yellow cable is specifically for the video signal. Because this type of auxiliary cable contains 2 channels of audio, it will support stereo sound.
This is commonly referred to as a mini-jack or a headphone jack. It is a 3.5mm plug that transfers audio only. There is a right and left audio channel on the plug which allows for stereo sound playback.
3.5mm AV Input
These plugs look similar to the common 3.5mm mini-jack, however they carry a third channel dedicated for video.
This means that an auxiliary input is possible, but only with the use of an optional accessory. These optional adapters will sometimes use the CD Changer port or other port on the back of a unit that might restrict the use of other expandability features. These accessories are typically sold separately.
Some in-dash head units are built-in with the navigation features, while others require an add on navigation box. Other navigation options include portable navigation units that you can take with you or attach to the dash of your vehicle.
RCA Composite Outputs
These are your typical red, white, and yellow RCA composite cables that are common among devices with audio and video inputs. The red and white cables are dedicated for audio. The red cable is for the right channel and the white is for the left channel. The yellow cable is specifically for the video signal. Because this type of auxiliary cable contains 2 channels of audio, it will support stereo sound.
If "Yes", then the aftermarket stereo is compatible with steering wheel remote controls. If an additional accessory is required for the steering wheel controls to work properly, a compatible piece will be listed.

I just bought this headunit and installed it last night in a 99 cavalier. still figuring it all out but i like it. Has everything i need for a system. Wish it had the usb on the front instead of the cable running from the back but other than that its awesome for the price!
I can't really review durability since i just bought it but i have another sony in my mustang and after about a year and half the next button on the headunit sticks so i have to use the remote to change songs. But i also change songs every 1 minute so probably my fault lol.
