Our Top 10 Movies of 2011
By Andrew Welch
December 21, 2011
One of the major complaints about Hollywood today is its lack of originality. When the box office is ruled by remakes and sequels (and vampires, of course), film lovers have to do a little digging to find movies with depth and quality. But they're out there. They might take you to another place—the grimy underworld of Los Angeles, the twinkling streets of Paris, the bleachers of the big leagues. But in doing so, they shine a fresh light on the intricacies of reality—the gravity of terminal illness, the curiosity of childhood summers, the very meaning of existence and creation. Here's our list of the most memorable films from 2011 that renew our hope in the heart of Hollywood. It's an eclectic mix, and while it may not look like your personal list, we think it's a pretty good one. Whether you consider movies "art" or "entertainment" or a mixture of both, we think everyone will find something to love about the 10 titles singled out below.
10. Super 8
This summer saw its share of high-concept alien flicks, but Super 8 was the standout with its mixture of intimate emotion, roller-coaster thrills and a Spielbergian sense of wonder and nostalgia. It's the only summer blockbuster we saw this year that had the nerve to be as much a family drama as a film about aliens and government conspiracies. Better luck next time, Transformers.
9. Martha Marcy May Marlene
This unsettling indie drama from first-time director Sean Durkin plays fast and loose with the rules of linear storytelling, and the effect is mesmerizing. Elizabeth Olsen plays the hapless young woman of the title, whose years with a secluded cult have left her unmoored from any sense of identity. Martha's title may be gangly, but as a film it's a brisk, chilling and virtuosic achievement.
8. 50/50
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen play best buds in this comedy about a young writer who is diagnosed with spinal cancer, and it is their chemistry that gives this surprising comedy its equally surprising heart. It may have its coarse moments, but beneath that crass surface lies warmth and a deep understanding of life borne out of experience. The film's screenwriter, Will Reiser, was diagnosed with the same cancer, and this charming comedy is a testament to his experience.
7. Moneyball
Moneyball is based on a book written by Michael Lewis about the surprising reversal of fortune for the Oakland A's baseball team in 2002. You don't have to be a sports fan to enjoy its crackling energy, though. With its combination of sharp, witty dialogue (courtesy of screenwriters Aaron Sorkin and Steve Zaillian) and winning performances from Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Philip Seymour Hoffman, Moneyball is for everyone who loves a smart, well-directed dramedy.
6. Drive
A lot of stars release multiple pictures in one year, but the standout this year was Ryan Gosling. In Drive, Gosling plays a stunt man who moonlights as a getaway-driver-for-hire. Like a Western hero, he follows his own code and feels most at home in the saddle (or, in this case, behind the wheel). Beneath his cool exterior, though, lies a roiling temper and a familiarity with violence that's chilling. Drive may hit all the beats that a standard heist-gone-wrong picture demands, but Gosling's boyish charm and his cool in the face of extreme violence add an unexpected complexity to director Nicolas Winding Refn's kinetically dreamy action flick.
5. Ides of March
Another side of Gosling is revealed in the George Clooney-directed political drama, The Ides of March. Here, the challenge before him is not to play the archetypal hero but the compromised idealist with everything to lose, including his soul. Gosling isn't the only performer of note in Clooney's dirge to Obama-style "Yes we can" politics, though. Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Clooney himself all deliver stellar performances that are some of the best you'll see all year, regardless of your politics.
4. Hugo
Martin Scorsese's first family film is not what it appears. True, it's friendly enough for the little ones, but it's more an homage to the incandescent power of cinema than anything else. What's more, Hugo is one of the few 3D films to actually put that extra dimension to good use. With it, Scorsese is able to breathe new life into classics like Pandora's Box, Intolerance, The General and of course the work of Georges Melies, in the process restoring a sense of magic to the movies and reminding us why we go in the first place.
3. Midnight in Paris
In his 41st feature film, Woody Allen trades weighty themes like faith vs. doubt and chance vs. fate for a romantic and whimsical look at what Paris represents to a struggling screenwriter/novelist named Gil (Owen Wilson). Gil dreams of living in Paris during "the good ol' days" of Hemingway, Dali and Buñuel, and magically gets his chance. But even if you haven't visited the great French city, its easy to understand his nostalgic longing. With Midnight in Paris, Allen has tapped into something that's as beautiful and universal as anything he's ever done.
2. The Artist
If Scorsese indirectly pays homage to silent cinema in Hugo, then Michel Hazanavicius brings that entire moment from film history vividly back to life again with The Artist. Unlike his OSS 117 films, which broadly lampooned the spy genre of the 1960s (and also starred Jean Dujardin), The Artist tells a genuinely moving story of fame found and lost during Hollywood's early days. The Artist has already topped a number of important year-end lists, including the New York Film Critics Circle's, proving that perhaps silence is still golden after all.
1. The Tree of Life
Terrence Malick's latest film—only his fifth since 1973—wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but for many critics and moviegoers The Tree of Life was a transcendent experience. Whether you're talking about the dazzling creation sequence set to Zbigniew Preisner's haunting "Lacrimosa," the nuanced performances of Brad Pitt and Hunter McCracken, or the dreamy cinematography of Emmanuel Lubezki, The Tree of Life reaches heights that other films can only dream of. But formal qualities aside, Malick's film is also a deeply felt meditation on life, death and the very nature of God. No one said it better than Roger Ebert when he wrote, "Terrence Malick's new film is a form of prayer." Amen to that.

Maybe it's because I come from the land Down Under but you really need to have Red Dog on a list like this.
I love this list...until I got to number #1. How did anyone stay awake during this movie. I get the art of it and it looks beautiful. But how about some entertainment.
Is relevant magazine Christian? After seeing this list I had to go and read their about page just to be sure. Are the people reading it Christian? I decided to watch a couple movies off this list thinking they might be good moral movies, but apparently Relevant doesn't think having morals is "relevant" to a relationship with God. Just in the 2 movies I watched there where rape scenes, sex scenes, very brutal graphic violence and murder, crude sexual humor.
Not to be religous but Im sure my Bible says that the deeds of the flesh Aka Sin does not go along with the life of the Spirit, and that those who practice them will not get into the Kingdom of heaven. It even says not even to speak of the things these sinner do, but yet it is ok to watch what they do for Entertainment???
This magazine has definatly lost my support from reading this list, this just goes to show why the church in the west is in such a MESS!
Indeed, Sherlock Holmes movies are great!
The list was good, but I think Blue Like Jazz will top the best films of 2012 list.

If Breast Cancer Doesn't Kill You, the Cost of Treating it Might
August 17, 2012 at 5:24 PM 3 comments
A good friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer about six weeks ago. She had surgery to remove it but it wasn't successful so her doctor recommended she have a double mastectomy, which she did two weeks ago to the day.
I have been taking her food (as have others) and walking her dog every afternoon since then so we chat about her progress every day. This afternoon she told me she got the bill from the hospital, for the surgical suite and the roughly 30 hours she spent there. $75,000.00.
$75,000.00. And that doesn't include the surgeon, the radiologist, the anesthesiologist, the physical therapist she's seeing now, the plastic surgeon who's creating new, artificial boobs and who knows who else.
$75,000.00 for hospital services only.
This thing will easily top $100,000.00.
Thank goodness she has insurance but god knows it won't pay 100% of all the bills that will come rolling in.
If she didn't have insurance she would probably be staring the Grim Reaper in the face right about now.
Five years ago I was fine one day and in the hospital with a ruptured appendix the next and suddenly I was looking at a bill of something like $37,000.00.
Americans, what are you thinking when you cheer candidates who want to get rid of "Obamacare?" No, it ain't perfect but for crying out loud, let's improve it, not abolish it. Do you all think you're immune from these things happening to you?
(Can you hear me screaming now?)

I'll tell you what they're thinking. They're thinking "the black guy" came up with the healthcare plan and their racial prejudice makes them go against their own self-interest. Simple as that.
That bill, that number, is meaningless. It's there for public relations or some other purpose. It's not the amount the hospital will accept as payment in full from an insurer, from different insurers or even from your friend had she no insurance at all. It's certainly far, far different amount than the hospital will be paid (in full) made from her insurance company. When my wife was sick with cancer we'd get these weekly chemo bills totaling 100's of thousands of $. The hospitals & doctors would accept literally pennies on the dollar billed.

Ever since the origination of time, all individuals have been motivated: motivated to prosper, stimulated to vanquish, and impelled to be the best. But what is this notion we call motivation?
Background of Motivation Essays
According to explanatory dictionaries, motivation is the provoking and pointing of behaviour, the power behind our needs for food, our yearning for sexual relationship, and our lodging to achieve. You may know about existence of different theories relating our motivated behaviour. One of them elaborated by Darwin considers behaviour as controlled by many natural forces, such as definite instincts.
Now let's imagine a student, sitting with paper and pen, who cannot start to write his motivation essay even not being able to jot down some words. What recommendation would you grant him to stimulate for custom writing his assigned motivation essay?
Inspiration for Writing Motivation Essays
As known, many students have problems with creating their custom motivation essays. One way to overcome such an obstacle is to brainstorm for any points about the custom writing assignment by defining certain reasons for its writing. You can ask yourself, what will happen if you are incapable to inspire yourself for motivation essay making. Do you have any motivation for doing this?! Do not rush taking time to consider the answers. Most students eager to be successful but fail to write a custom essay that may lead to not good grades. So the answer will be that actually the reward for writing motivation essays is more than just the grade you receive…
In most cases the best way to get inspired is to take small steps in the custom paper writing procedure. For example, take a few minutes for written meditation on this "complicated" process by considering reasons or even fears of avoiding to write motivation essay.
Writer's Block in Motivation Essays Writing
Many students experience writer's block while writing their term papers, research projects and motivation essays. One of the most useful methods to overpass this phenomenon is to ask write down all known information about the topic. Also a great motivator can be a wide search on the topic which guides you to a more specific viewpoint. Put down areas you want to be concentrated on, and outcomes of your previous search. This step can inspire you into doing further deep research on the topic of your motivation essay.
Remember that throughout your life there will be a lot of situations that require defining a motivation. Once someone said that our life is grounded on choices, with a result absolutely of what we make it to be. Therefore, we select good choices and bad ones engaged in the life process and derived from our internal motives. The hardest choice you must make is what to do after getting a diploma, because a million and one paths to follow will appear, and each one distinguishes from another with its pros and cons depending on your plans for future, career targets or other life motivation
Whether you have a compare and contrast or an argumentative paper due, you can place your order 24/7. When purchasing an essay, you can certainly count on timely help from our support team, whereas your writer will have your custom paper written way before the deadline. Excellent formatting and language flow is what you get when you order custom essa from OvernightEssay.com.

They say records are made to be broken, but the fact of the matter is that no English side has ever claimed the quadruple before.
Much of that has to do with the Premier League being by far the most competitive top flight in world football – as Manuel Pellegrini has discovered this season, namely against Sunderland and Cardiff, even the most expensively-assembled cast in the division can be easily overawed by one of the Premiership's minnows if they aren't performing to the utmost of their capabilities. There is no such thing as pre-determined result in the Premier League.
Furthermore, English football has a knack of luck favouring the underdog. Just consider the Citizens' FA Cup final defeat to Wigan last season – they essentially lost to a Championship side, in a match determined by a single goal.
If City are to claim all four trophies available to them this season, they'll have to fight against the awesome tide of history. Manchester United's 1999 side are considered to be one of the greatest English football has ever seen, and even under the leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson, they could only manage a treble.
Likewise, Roman Abramovich has spent untold millions on Chelsea, and their greatest achievement to date is their League and FA Cup double in 2010, and FA Cup and Champions League double in 2012.
Should Manchester City claim all four pieces of silverware, it will be an incredible feat. But history suggests it's simply impossible.

Rhodia Essential Box
What a great way to start off on the Rhodia habit, or what a great gift! These little pads belong to the soft-cover version of the Moleskine cult. The familiar orange design with two fir trees has remained unchanged since the 1930s. Its just perfect! Each box is priced very nicely and includes a variety of pad sizes and some pencils in a Rhodia box. Way worth it. Made in France, of course
Another mid-century modern classic, the Aeron chair never goes out of style. As they are typically seen in black, i think this taupey color is a unique take. I would use one as an occasional chair in the living room.
Finally a desk organizer that is sophisticated without being cold and industrial. I love the color combination and the tactile feeling of felt. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy tooTags: office, green, gray, work, organization, felt, desk, organizers, DWRAdded 9 Years Ago from Design Within Reach

Sasol Petroleum Temane Lda
Mining & Energy
Maputo City
Prédio JAT V-3, 11º e 12º Andares Rua dos Desportistas, Nº 833 Maputo-Moçambique
Sasol petroleum international (spi) Main business activity
SPI develops and manages our upstream interests in oil and gas exploration and production in Mozambique, South Africa, Gabon and Nigeria. It produces gas from Mozambiques onshore Temane field and oil from Gabons offshore Etame field. Globally, SPI also pursues gas exploration opportunities to enable it to supply feedstock to potential future Sasol GTL plants.
Partnering for growth in Mozambique
Through Sasol Petroleum Temane (SPT) in Mozambique, a subsidiary company of Sasol Petroleum International, we produce and clean natural gas, and maintain an increasing on- and offshore exploration programme. Through its 70:25:5 partnership with CMH (Companhia Moçambicana Hidrocarbonetos), a subsidiary company of Mozambiques national oil and gas company, ENH (Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos de Moçambique), and the International Finance Corporation, SPT established a series of production wells in the Temane field and continues to develop new production wells in phases. SPT and its Mozambican partners intend to bring into production a series of production wells from the neighbouring Pande gas field. Mozambican gas is processed and compressed at the Temane central processing facility (CPF) before we pipe it to South Africa through an 865-km pipeline linking the CPF to Secunda. This pipeline is owned and operated by The Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Investments Company (Rompco), a company owned 50% by Sasol Gas, 25% by iGas (South Africas state owned pipeline development company) and 25% by CMG (Companhia Moçambicana de Gasoduto Mozambiques state-owned pipeline investment company). Extensive upgrading of our gas processing facility in Temane is underway in order to support the additional gas evacuation from the Temane and Pande fields to enable the supply of 183MGJ/a of gas. Sasol Petroleum Sofala (SPS) and its partners have completed an extensive 3D seismic program and exploration drilling activity of its offshore license area in Blocks 16 and 19.

Hello Friends
I'm very curious. I'm taking CHL class next week in texas. What will it going to be out there ? I know shooting test of course. What about written test ? If possible, do yall know what question they will ask ? Will it be easy to pass ? What kind of ammo should I bring to class ? I just want to be preparing before I go out there. Any advice ?
Thank you
It is an easy test. Pay attention in class and you will be fine.

bps is right, show up, pay attention and you'll do well.

+1 on the pay attention and you'll be fine. You should get a class on the law itself, e. g. where you can and cannot carry plus a good section on conflict avoidance.
Take 50 rds of any ammunition that works well in your carry arm. If you take a revolver you'll be limited to carrying only a revolver so the best bet is to take a semi-auto to qualify.
Go with an open mind and a good attitude. Most of the classes seem to be fun if you give the instructor a chance.
Qualification is fun, 50 rounds, five round intervels with various patterns of fire.....listen carefully to instructor on how fire the five shots. SOme time it's 1,2,3 pause 1,2......1,2 pause 1,2,3...or all five shots in 7 seconds, things like that.
Class is long 9hrs, but with the right instructor it is informing and entertaining.
Major part of the class will include several videos, also go over the current concealed hangun laws for Texas, and possible scenerios. Will cover the questions and answers that will be on da test, then take the test ('bout 50 questions) I made a 100...if I can, I'm sure you will have no problem.
pay attention and have fun.
Save a Greyhound. Adopt one.
The qualification is 50 rounds. The course is required to be 10 hours. As far as things to bring, the only thing you really need is your fee for the class. The instructor should take care of your passport photo, notary services, and finger prints. He should walk you through the package and you should leave with a package ready to be mailed.
If your instructor doesn't provide all of those services, think about choosing a different instructor.
If you happened to fill out an electronic form at the DPS website, bring that in so you will have your application number.
The written test is fairly simple and will be over the items discussed in your class. Nobody really has a problem with either the written portion or the shooting portion.
As said above, even if you plan on carrying a revolver, you should probably qualify with a semi-auto so as not to limit future options.
If you have hearing protection, eye protection, ammo and your own firearm you should be good to go. If you don't, you can rent what you need at the range.
Good luck!
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.
Who is John Galt?
When I got my CHL, the presenter did a powerpoint presentation with "need-to-know" information that just 'happened' to be on the exam in a similar order. Coincidence?
Glock 23 OD with CT laser
I took the class for the first time a couple of weeks ago. The instructor reviewed the group of people doing renewals (1/2 day required) which in turn exposed the rest of the group to "test type questions". Basically answer the most politically correct and common sense answer to get it right.
As far as shooting, as long as you make all your shots from 5 yards and 7 yards within the scoring rings, you can miss all of your 15 yard shots and still pass.
The class is a learning experience to be enjoyed with an open mind. There is no need to worry about it.
I would wish you good luck, you won't need it.
The shooting is easy... blind and one armed you could pass (and half in the bag too I'd imagine - not that I condone mixing the two!)
The test is nearly as easy if you can pay attention to the lecture/videos/Powerpoint (or however else the instructor presents the material)... They spend 10 hours (minus range time) grilling into you exactly what is on the test - it should be a breeze. I shot a 232 out of 250 and scored 100 on the written test...
Pay attention and stay cheerful and it'll be a great day.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes
The will to win is worthless if you do not have the will to prepare. -Thane Yost
There are actually things taught that are worth learning. So, try to pay attention to the message as well, and not focus solely on the written test.
I would characterize the written test as somewhat more difficult than a driver's written exam; and about right for any adult of very average intellectual ability. No trick questions. Straight forward. You will be given all of the information you need during the lectures, and if the instructor is worth anything, it will have been said several times over.
Like all the others have said, just pay attention in class and you will do just fine. Most can pass the test without taking the class, IMHO. As far as ammo just bring 50 rds of what you take to the range with you. Good luck and enjoy. You will do just fine.

As others have said, it's pretty straight forward. If your interested, here's a link to the handgun laws booklet they will hand out and teach from.

TX-JB beat me to it! Know the publication at the link he posted, and you'll pass the test easily! As a matter of fact, you should know everything in that book regardless of if they test you on it or not!
By the way, the 2007-2008 edition is still good!
As for the qualification portion, if you can't pass that then you shouldn't be carrying a handgun!
Cheers! M2
Not sure is anyone touched on this, but are you taking the test with a Revolver or a Semi-Auto? It makes a difference later as to what you can carry. If you use SA, you can carry either; if you use a revolver, you can only carry a revolver.
You can never have "too much" ammo...

Austin Mahone Brings Fresh Sound to Y100 Jingle Ball 2012
Preparing to bring his fresh young style to the stage, Austin Mahone arrived at the Y100 Jingle Ball in Miami on Saturday (December 8).
The 16-year-old rising pop star wore a white T-shirt, gold chain, and red and gray jacket and matching pants with a red baseball cap as he sat down with the radio station to dish on the latest in his life.
When asked by the DJ what the craziest thing a fan has given him, Austin replied, "An office chair. Well I always talked about how squeaky and annoying my chair was. So, this girl sent this huge box to my door. I thought it was from a manager so I called 'em up and was like 'Yo, guys thank you so much for this chair! I love it. '"
After confirming he was single this holiday season, the 11:11 singer then answered what he was looking for in a girl, joking, "I would say. I like girls with pink hair, tattoos all over the place, noserings, gauges..." Watch the video of the interview below.

The rest of the site ranks well for other terms
Inbound links are higher then most of the top 10 who rank for this phrase.
The site was over optimized for this term but has long since been fixed.
Others in the industry rank high and have obvious keyword stuffing
I assumed they were penalized on this one term for over-optimization but the rankings are not improving.
This is only on google, the rankins on Yahoo and MSN are decent 7-15 range for the same phrase.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

deoptimized for this one term
slowly reoptimizing for it
URL rewrite
fixed duplicate content (due to URLs)
but still no forward momentum for this one phrase (and any permutations of it)
I just can't figure out why.
I am mainly trying to help them conquer these few key phrases so they can stop subsidizing them with PPC, or at least slow it down.
It is not like they there are hunderds of competitors, there are maybe 20. There are also about 3 other sites that specifically mention my client and link to them that are ranked above them.
I've never seen where one term will not rank.
Would additional link building efforts really help when they have 500+ links coming in?
It's almost like google is not updating the SERPs for these phrases and the sites that are using obvious spam still rank.
I've never seen where one term will not rank.
I think there is such a filter. It figures into what is commonly called the sandbox, but it can also come into play on old established sites as well -- especially when link text manipulation is being used with a heavy hand. At least that's how it looks to me.
what would you do in this case? sit and wait to see what happens?
[edited by: Evroccck at 10:17 pm (utc) on April 9, 2006]
Also helpful at times is to back away from a literal and conventional focus on just "the keyword phrase" and look for all the related language that you can use. At the very least use Google's tilde operator and pick up some extra vocabulary that way.
Meanwhile, what bugs me on one key phrase where the site has a lot of content applicable is that its beat in the serps by sites that are less relevent.
For example three sites listed above it are directory sites and for the "Blue Widgets" key words only contain a link to blue widgets and a description which is for my site with a diverted link to my site!.
I wonder if i got the three directory sites to remove my details then they would have no on page content for that link and i would rise above them? Any one any thoughts on this?
Also, when you get inbound links, try to change every link you get sematically from hereon in, for exampl:
Blue Widgets could be anchored as:
Blue Widgets,
Blue Widgets
Widgets in Blue
Blue Colored Widgets
I believe this is very important for optimimzation in Google.
Hope this helps

Voting rights of directors in related firms defined
Jul 17 2014 , New Delhi
Following representations made by industry bodies and top business houses, the ministry of corporate affairs said that only those having direct interest in 'related party transactions' were disallowed from voting on special resolutions.
Related party transactions are those between two companies, group companies or foreign corporates with their subsidiaries, service providers where individuals or some stakeholders have 'specific interest' in a financial or business transaction between them.
For instance, if Suzuki Motors sells cars to its joint venture listed company, Maruti Suzuki, it is treated as a 'related party transaction'.
No Suzuki representative can cast a vote on the transaction at Maruti Suzuki's board meeting.
Hitherto, all majority stakeholders were disallowed from exercising voting rights, leaving its minority equity holders to take a call.
In case a company is availing services of another firm owned by one independent director and the transaction requires shareholder approval, even majority promoter shareholders would not have been able to vote although he or she is not interested in the transaction.
As per the latest government clarification, all shareholders other than the related party independent director would be allowed to vote on the transaction.
The latest circular has also exempt mergers, amalgamations and business restructuring proposals even under a single entity from the purview of 'related party transactions' provisions under Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013.
As these transactions will have to be approved by shareholders, creditors and courts, they have been exempt from 'related party transactions' ambit.
"MCA clarifications on related party transactions bring a lot of relief to corporates in India. Moving from an era where promoters had full say in undertaking related party transactions, the Companies Act 2013 had tilted the scale to the other extreme, by shifting significant powers to the minority shareholders. However, today's clarifications have brought balance to this scale that had swung from one extreme to another," said Sai Venkateshwaran, partner and head of accounting services at independent consultancy KPMG.
Venkateshwaran added, "The latest circular also provides relief by grand-fathering all existing transactions that were previously approved under provisions of the earlier act. This has provided relief to companies that were uncertain about the validity of transactions continuing from the past."

RE: RE: Re: Workaround for an unexpected behavior of Sum
Yes Andrzej, I agree, you are right, I can see know very important
advantages of your approach over mine:
ONE: Using the flag, you avoid an infinite loop (actually, infinite
recursion). The equivalent action in my approach was to verify if
Unevaluated[dummyindex] is the same as the evaluated dummyindex. In my case,
the evaluation of dummyindex could take a long time. We actually cannot know
in advance how much time would that evaluation take, it depends whatever the
end user has stored in dummyindex, which could be a long program that takes
a lot of time to evaluate. Even worst, the evaluation of dummyindex could
have unwanted results or side effects, again it depends on the content of
dummyindex. Therefore my approach is potentially inefficient and potentially
dangerous. On the other hand, in your approach you only verify if the flag
is True or False: always fast, always safe, always reliable, great!
TWO: It is easier also for a human being to understand your code. Mine is so
full Hold, ReleaseHold, HoldPattern, it is just ugly.
THREE: Your are using standard Mathematica scoping, while I was creating my
own version of scoping. Although the dollar sign is (I think) kind of ugly,
it is actually a good idea that appears as it does in your approach, because
anyone with a minimum knowledge of scoping in Mathematica will recognize
what is going on thanks to that dollar sign.
So, I totally surrender, your approach is better (though I would change the
name of sumFlag to something like sumEnterOneTimeFlag, or something like

- Ackbar's Finest
The result of the genius of Admiral Ackbar and his Verpine Technicians, the B-WIng was the most advanced assault starfighter of its time. This is reflected in this amazing expansion to the X-Wing Miniatures game. Packing all sorts of armament, and flown only by the best, this is a must-have to any collection. Paired up and fully loaded, these ships are nearly unstoppable.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- As cool as you think it would be
We don't just play X-Wing as a game, I think. We also have glimpses of the movie saga in our heads. Therefore, the B wing is more than just a ship. It's a lesser celebrity in the world of Star Wars - at least in my mind. In the game, the B-Wing does not let you down either. The ship plays nicely, and has a lot of strengths as a fighter / bomber, and the point-costs are about right. It seems to hold its own in a dogfight. This is one fighter that is stock-up worthy in my opinion, and copies of the upgrade cards are useful too.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Big ship in a little package
The B-Wing is, in many ways, like a large base ship (ala the Falcon, Shuttle, etc) that happens to be in a small base. It has heavy firepower (including a cannon and ordinance), lackluster defense, and a good bit of health. This does fit pretty well as canonically the B-Wing is meant to engage larger ships. The B-Wing is best in close range engagements with several sharp turns and short K-turns. With a few upgrades, the ship isn't even concerned with colliding with other ships thanks to advanced sensors. It is rather slow and vulnerable to arc dodgers like the, A-Wing, phantom and interceptor.
The pilots are decent (though the best pilots are in Rebel Aces) with some potentially interesting abilities but in many ways, the B-Wing is best just on its own with generic pilots. A couple of B-Wings can really ruin the maneuvering of a swarm or even arc dodgers and that strategy has shown up in some of the top squadrons at Worlds.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- This should be one of your first purchases after the base set
This is the expansion you want to get early. Maybe even 4. 4 B-wings make a good list and tournament ready. The fact that this comes with Fire Control System makes it a great pick up to expand your fleet.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Hard hitter!
The B-wing is a super hard-hitting ship for the Rebels. It may not be the most maneuverable beast out there, but it takes a beating and dishes it out as well. Good pilots with the solo pack, but I'd recommend the Rebel Aces pack as well to fill it out even more.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- B-Wing is the boss
The B-Wing offers the most viability for points in this game, giving you 8 hitpoints on a ship that costs as low as 22 points. Fantastic options are available with the System upgrade slot and the Cannon upgrade slot.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Heavy Fighter
The B-wing is like an inverse Y-wing as its hull and shield values are swapped allowing the ship to prevent more critical effects from hampering it, though making it weak against the few upgrades which allow striking past shields such as Proton Bombs.
Furthermore where the Y-wing with a turret could fly more erratically the B-wing likes to strike at the opponent from up close making sharp turns and trying to prevent their target from escaping, conversely though attaching the Heavy Laser Cannon on it makes it a damage dealing monster at times as it pelts four dice attacks at enemy ships regardless of range.
This ship is recommended for the game, furthermore for Rebel players to provide them with on of the tankiest ships on a small base.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Good combo ship
I was a bit turned off by its large number of red maneuvers at first, but after using it a bit I realized that is not a problem at all. It makes a great combo ship with an A-wing.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- The Unyielding and Relentless Rebel Juggernaut
The B-Wing is a slow and ponderous starship, but that is more than made up for its durability and attack value. It can take 8 hits points and has a standard attack of 3.
This is a true juggernaut whose purpose is to fly through the map and practically one shot the imperials out of the sky.
If maneuverability is very important this is not the ship for you, as expected it is a bomber style ship that moves slow and gets stress tokens more than its faster cousin: the A-Wing.
For a truly deadly combo try : Ten Numb, Marksman, and Autoblaster. This trifecta gives you a slew of un-cancellable hits if used at range 1 and has destroyed my tie fighters time and time again.
A lot of fun and great option for rebel players
Game Play Quality Price Value
- That ship that's better at being the X-Wing than the X-Wing is.
The X-Wing was supposed to be a basic jouster. The B-Wing is better at that than the X-Wing is. A veritable knife fighter with 8 hit points, a maneuver set ideal for close quarters maneuvering, 6 upgrade slots, and a very efficient points cost makes this ship ideal for heavy-hitting Rebel squads.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Fantastic Jouster
First off, this is the cheapest I have found any X-wing small ship on the internet. It's a standard jousting-style ship for a Rebel player, and does well, throwing three attack dice, with three hull and five shields (we won't mention it's defense dice, though). It's very resilient, and maneuverable in tight places, primarily due to it's barrel roll action. It does not cover much ground fast, but it's intention is to be a platform with guns, not a speedster. The ship looks great, and is a great addition to the X-wing Miniature ships game. They have been used in tournament topping lists, including a list that won the 2013 world championship and a list that won the GenCon 2015 championship. The B-Wing is one of my favorite ships to fly. If you're into X-Wing, at least two of these is a must for any collection.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- A rebel Powerhouse
The B-Wing is viewed by many as the best rebel fighter in the game. For its point cost, you get a very powerful ship, one that is both offensively and defensively better than many ships of the same cost (in game points) and price (US Dollars). Thanks to some of it's in game capabilities, its also a fairly mobile ship, and offers many options for upgrading.
Fantasy Flight Games offers very impressive models, especially for the price of the product. They come fully painted, and are always of professional quality. This is a great model for displaying, and a great ship for playing.
Multipe B-Wings are a common rebel squad. For more B-wings, I suggest also purchasing the Rebel Ace expansion. It comes with an additional B-Wing, with additional B-Wing pilots and upgrades, and it gives you the most out of your B-Wings if you have access to both expansions.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Solid, Versatile Fighter for the Rebellion
The B-Wing is a great fighter for your rebel squadron lists. Boasting a flexible load-out capacity (bolstered by the Rebel Aces expansion) and decent base attack, the B-Wing compliments the X-Wings on your lists - or can even hold its own.
Price is reasonable for a minis game and the quality of the minis in this series are exceptional (the B-Wing is no exception).
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Favorite Ship
I loved the b-wing in the movies, and on the table this thing is a beast. A must have for any rebel player. Buy 2 of these and the rebel aces pack, you'll thank yourself.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Rebellion Workhorse
The B-Wing is a real workhorse for the rebellion in the game. Strong attack, combined with defensive positioning ability and strong shields makes this a real winner.
The basic Blue Squadron pilot is the model of efficiency, but you can go crazy with upgrades and unique pilots.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Awesome little ship
After picking up the new core set I couldn't help but pick up my second favorite Rebel ship. Very nice quality on the miniature. Probably gonna have to buy a few more of this one.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Super-Solid Rebel Ship!
The B-Wing has a lot to offer; it's tough with 8 total hits, a good 3 die attack, and has several good upgrade options, it's just not too maneuverable. The expansion has some quality upgrades like Fire-Control System and fun-but-gimmicky Autoblaster, and good pilots like Ten Numb, and the super cost efficient Blue Squadron Pilot. Getting more than one is highly advisable.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- b,for beast, wing is a workhorse!
As always the price is right and quality of the sculpt is great! These are going to be your bread and butter for a beat stick based squadron.enough shields to outlast almost anything and tons of firepower make these priceless! Add in rebel aces and you just struck gold! I run my rebel aces b wing and this one,both fully upgraded, in 100 point games and just do work! Two fully upgraded will be your entire squad too. squeak in a z95 headhunter to help tie up some ships and watch the dice,and heads,roll!
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Attack! Attack! Attack!
This ship may not have the agility to defend itself, but it is not needed. With 8 total hit points you can definitely do some damage before you are taken out. Unlike a tie fighter which can be kill in a single attack.
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Love the B-wing. . . but needs the right support and upgrades
Great ship, beautiful design. It's a tank, but slow as molasses. Make sure to have some good support for him. Bought separately with a A-wing but in retrospect, getting the Aces pack would have worked out better due to the available crew cards. Has a lot of potential as is, but needs the proper upgrades to maximize its game play
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Great Ship!!!
B-Wing flying solo or in squad, is a great ship for the Rebels Cause! Its shields are so hard to beat them!!! It's certainly a great shop!!!!
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Shields up
The B-wing is a great addition to your fleet and a great looking ship besides the big names it's one of the hardest ships to crush due to the 5shields it carries not the fastest but strong and reliable definitely need two or more in your fleet if you want to crush the Imperials
Game Play Quality Price Value
- Great for competitive play
After purchasing the 'Rebel Aces' expansion, this was a natural move for my next buy. Despite it's low agility, it has good maneuverability and the barrel roll can help dodge and prevent enemy attacks. If you know how to fly them, these can be very devastating to your opponent's squad.

Payday Loans Online Instant Cash
Many people are skeptical of financial institutions that have high rates of interest and can get the money to you quickly. Payday Loans Online Instant Cash fall under this category. If you're considering this choice, then you should make sure you realize all you can concerning them. When you need money fast, look for this article to discover some information.
Think carefully about the amount of money you need. It is tempting to secure a loan for the lot more than you may need, though the more money you ask for, the higher the interest rates will be. Not only, that, but a majority of companies may clear you for a certain amount. Take the lowest amount you'll need.
If you are considering obtaining a payday loan to a different credit line, stop and think it over. It may wind up costing you substantially more to work with this method over just paying late-payment fees on the line of credit. You will be stuck with finance charges, application fees as well as other fees which might be associated. Think long and hard if it is worth it.
Beware of service repair shop that wants to roll finance charges to a higher pay period. With this type of clause in the contract, recipients of Payday Loans Online Instant Cash wind up managing an influx of charges and ultimately it requires a lot longer to repay the initial loan. It isn't uncommon to cover upwards of five times the loan amount.
A great tip for everyone looking to get a payday loan is usually to avoid giving your data to lender matching sites. Some cash advance sites match you with lenders by sharing your data. This can be quite risky and also lead to a great deal of spam emails and unwanted calls.
Do you need money now? Are your bills arriving faster than they can be paid. A payday loan could possibly be your only choice. If you are thinking seriously about one, shop around. The information below provides you with all the details on what a payday loan may help out your situation and if it is best for you.
Always pay back your loan by the due date and avoid getting any extensions. Extending the borrowed funds will only cause a "snowball effect", compounding a persons vision fees and so that it is harder to repay on the next due date.
When looking for a quick payday loan, don't settle on the 1st company you discover. Instead, compare as much rates since you can. While some companies will only charge you about 10 or fifteen percent, others may ask you for 20 or perhaps 25 percent. Do your homework in order to find the cheapest company.
If you feel you are taken advantage of by a payday loan company, report it immediately for a state government. If you delay, you're likely to be hurting your chances for virtually any sort of recompense. As well, there are many people out there as if you that need real help. Your reporting of these poor companies is able to keep others from having similar situations.
Before getting a cash payday loan, it is important that you observe the different forms of available so that you know, let's consider best for you. Certain payday advances have different policies or requirements than others, so look on the Internet to figure out which one meets your requirements.

Iran says nuclear sites safe from earthquakes and cyber threat
By Tom Miles
GENEVA (Reuters) - Iran's nuclear and hydropower facilities are well protected from cyber attacks and even the most powerful earthquakes, Iranian environmental protection chief Mohammad-Javad Mohammadizadeh said on Friday.
Iran's only nuclear power reactor at Bushehr was unscathed when a strong earthquake that killed 37 people and injured 850 hit close to the site last month, Iranian officials and the Russian company that built it said.
But that has not stopped fears about safety in a country that sits on major faultlines, especially as Iran's Atomic Energy Organization said that more reactors would be built there, just hours after the earthquake.
Two U.S. think-tanks, the Carnegie Endowment and the Federation of American Scientists, said before the earthquake struck that warnings over such events had "fallen on deaf ears".
"Most of the energy producing utilities - including all our power plants, being hydropower or even nuclear - they do comply with the minimum of 8, up to about 10, on the Richter scale for resistance to earthquakes," Mohammadizadeh told Reuters.
"The highest known levels of safety and environmental standards have always been observed and incorporated during construction and after the commissioning phase," he said, speaking through an interpreter during an interview at the Iranian diplomatic mission in Geneva.
Mohammadizadeh, also vice president, said Iran was aware of the risks from earthquakes and landslides, which he said applied equally to its hydropower dams.
"Some of the dams we have well over 3 billion cubic meters of water right behind the dam. Imagine what kind of catastrophe a leakage or destruction of the dam could impose," he said. Continued...

Tenkara Guide Spotlight: Daniel Pierce II
In this installment of the Tenkara Guide Spotlight, we'd like to introduce you to Daniel Pierce II of our Tenkara Guide Network. Daniel Pierce has been a great help to Tenkara USA and the north eastern tenkara community for some time now. Dan guides classic trout waters in his home state of Maine, wild places with beautiful native book trout, landlocked salmon, and smallmouth bass. Besides guiding, Dan is very active at teaching tenkara at area events and can usually be found in the Tenkara USA booth when we are in New England.
Besides tenkara activities, Dan works as a middle school counselor, enjoys spending time with his family, and bow hunting for deer and turkey, all of which influence his fishing and guiding. Dan genuinely enjoys sharing the outdoors with others, as his responses below will support.
What types of environment do you guide tenkara anglers and how long have you been guiding? About how many guide trips and tenkara guide trips do you do in a season?
I guide in the great state of Maine. The number of days I guide changes year to year and depends on the weather but it is usually 20-25 days a year of guiding with clients and then a few tenkara classes through out the year. I work full time as a school counselor at a middle school and started guiding when people asked at fly fishing shows where they could find a guide in Maine. I saw an opportunity and jumped on it! People come from New England to fish in Maine with me because of the native brook trout we have here and because there are so few tenkara guides in New England.
Do you guide only tenkara or also western fly-fishing (or spin fishing)?
I exclusively guide fixed line fly-fishing which has given me my niche in Maine. Maine has a number of outstanding fishing guides but only one tenkara guide!
What would you say are the advantages and disadvantages of guiding with tenkara?
Tenkara is great for people who are new to the sport of fly-fishing because there is a quick learning curve if you have someone knowledgable with you. I have found tenkara to be a great "add on" activity to recreational guiding here in Maine. Disadvantages would be sometimes people don't fully understand the limitations of tenkara fishing.
What are your favorite Tenkara USA rods for guiding on your favorites and are your personal favorites different that what you guide with?
Ever since I got the Rhodo and Sato, I have never looked back. There are times I still fish my Amago but 95% of the time both guiding and fishing on my own, it is one of those rods. The rods are well made and reliable which is why they are my go to rods. Between the two rods I can effectively fish a rod between 8 and 13 feet.
What types of rigs do you fish as far as terminal tackle, i.e. single dry fly, indicator rigs, dry dropper, etc. ?
Especially when I am guiding, I do not get very technical with rigging. Many of my clients are looking for simplicity and effectiveness. For this reason, we rig with level line, tippet, and a single fly.
Has there been anything about fishing and guiding with tenkara that has been a surprise to you compared to your initial impressions of the fishing method?
My biggest surprise was the effectiveness of this method of fishing and the range and variety of fish I have been able to target with tenkara.
As a guide, what are your thoughts on using few (or one) fly pattern?
So we come to the question of fly choice. I generally guide people who are interested in being outside, learning something new, and hopefully catching fish. For this reason, I fish very few fly patterns. From 2011-2014 I fished one fly; a black hook, black thread, grey turkey feather sakasa kebari. Early in 2015 I started to mess around with killer bugs AKA ( UKB, Sawyer's, Crane fly larva). I now fish a sakasa kebari 3 different colors and a killer bug in 3 different colors, although 9 out of 10 flies I tie on is a black sakasa kebari. My general philosophy is the more time my fly is in the water, the better chance I have of a fish seeing it.
Do you have a favorite fly? What is it?
Most people would think spring in Maine means early season fishing, when really it means turkey hunting. The two spring male wild turkeys I shoot each year will give me enough feathers to refill my fly box for the season and beyond. I started using turkey feathers in 2011 and have exclusively used them for my sakasa kebari since then. The feathers are a blackish grayish color that have an unbelievable amount of action and turn almost translucent when underwater. So my favorite fly is a simple one; TMC103bl size 13, black thread, turkey feather sakasa kebari.
Do you have a fly fishing or tenkara based online blog? What is the URL?

Tenkara Transitions, Casting Goals
Here at Tenkara USA, we've been very excited about sharing tenkara with people new to fishing in general. This has been incredibly rewarding for all of us, but I would like to spend a bit of time in Tenkara Transitions helping those who are experienced and accomplished fly-anglers transition to tenkara.
While tenkara casting is usually much easier for beginners to pick up than western fly-casting, we have seen instances where casting a tenkara rod is difficult or clumsy for an experienced angler. As the physical requirements of tenkara casting are minimal, (after all, we're casting a much shorter and lighter line with a longer lever) the difficulty some experienced western anglers have can be attributed more to a mental block than a physical inability to execute the task of a good tenkara cast. In my opinion, this block can largely be conquered once the different casting goals of western fly-casting and tenkara casting are understood.
For sake of brevity, I'm going to define these goals in the aspects of western fly fishing and tenkara that I and most of my friends seem most enthusiastic about, casting dry flies on rivers and streams with a western fly rod and casting unweighted flies (dry or wet) on a mountain stream with a tenkara rod.
With western casting, the cast begins with a straight line back cast roughly parallel to the water's surface. Once the line has straightened behind the angler, the forward cast sends the line roughly parallel to the waters surface until it unrolls above the target, usually about eye level. Just as the line falls, (hopefully) controlled slack is often put in the line in the form of an arial mend. The rod tip then follows the plastic fly line to the surface of the water to leave the intentional slack in place and at the ready to place additional mends in the line as conflicting currents have time to take hold. Obviously, there are many different scenarios a western fly caster may find themselves in, but I hope this provides a good baseline for comparison.
In tenkara, the cast begins with a backcast above and behind the angler. Usually a bit before the line straightens out behind the angler, the forward cast begins and throws the line in front of and down from the rod tip. The line should unroll relatively straight to the target, roughly ten inches from the surface of the water. As the fly and some tippet hit the water, the rod tip should be left high, holding all or at least most of the casting line off of the water so that no mending is required. Again, there's a lot one can do with a tenkara rod, but this is the norm for myself and many, (perhaps most) of the tenkara anglers I speak with.
Once a western fly-fisher understands these different casting goals, tenkara casting can be the simple and elegant act it should be; not much more than a flick of the wrist sending the line above and behind the angler followed by a flick of the wrist sending the line down and in front of the angler. There are more detailed and well done tenkara casting articles and videos that I encourage aspiring tenkara anglers to seek out, but believe understanding these basic goals will help the information in those sources be more accessible for someone entrenched in western fly-fishing. I also feel that understanding these goals will help the angler transition back and forth from tenkara to western fly fishing, should they so choose.
If you're a western angler who's had issues making a tenkara rod cast the way you think it should, please let us know if this explanation helps you. If not, we'd love to hear what you're having troubles with in an effort to help you on your tenkara journey. Best of luck and happy casting!
Tenkara Guide Spotlight: Jim Mitchell
This is the first installment of a new series of blog posts we'd like to bring to you. The Tenkara Guide Spotlight will bring some of the experience and knowledge of the professional guides in our Tenkara Guide Network to the spotlight so we can all learn from tthem. You'll see a diversity of tackle preferences and techniques used and hope this will help you in finding your own tenkara.
We start the series with Jim Mitchell, a full time fishing and hunting guide form the Bitterroot Valley in western Montana. Jim is a consummate professional and a super nice guy. I've had the pleasure of fishing with Jim a few times, and always find it an enjoyable and informative experience. His to the point answers give a nice glimpse into the thinking of a professional guide.
Where do you guide tenkara anglers and how long have you been guiding?
I started guiding in 2001 and became an outfitter in 2009. I guide float and wade trips on Rivers and Small streams in Montana.
Do you guide only tenkara or also western fly-fishing?
I guide Western and tenkara fly-fishing.
About how many guide trips and tenkara guide trips do you do in a season?
I guide about 150 client days per season 10 to 20 of those are tenkara
What would you say are the advantages and disadvantages of guiding with tenkara?
A few advantages to tenkara are the simplicity and a drag free drift. One disadvantage is casting distance on big rivers and that is irrelevant when tenkara float fishing from a raft.
What are your favorite Tenkara USA rods for guiding on your favorites and are your personal favorites different that what you guide with?
My personal and guide rods are the same the Amago and the Sato.
What types of rigs do you fish (i.e. single dry fly, indicator rigs, dry dropper, etc.) ?
I fish single dries, dry dropper, double fly indicator rigs and nymphs without indicators. The one thing I have not tried is streamers
Has there been anything about fishing and guiding with tenkara that has been a surprise to you compared to your initial impressions of the fishing method?
The freedom. It's nice to leave the big bag of flies and equipment and just take a small pack with a few essentials.
As a guide, what are your thoughts on using few (or one) fly pattern?
It's fun to do at times, but I am not a one fly guy.
Do you have a favorite fly? What is it?
A prince nymph for the nymph. A Purple Haze for the dry.
Do you have a fly-fishing or tenkara based online blog? What is the URL?
It's a hunting and fishing blog, but I don't update it often.
Do you have an social media presence for your services? What are your Facebook or other social media accounts names?

How to open and close an adjustable tenkara rod
In this video Daniel will cover how to open and close an adjustable tenkara rod (also known as "tenkara zoom rods"). The Tenkara USA rods, such as the Sato, Rhodo and Ito, can be fished at different lengths and it is important to know how to properly use them.
Further, here's a short video on how to replace segments on a tenkara rod, including the adjustable tenkara rods.

Untouched fish
Have you ever walked high above a river, perhaps on a bridge or a trail, and while looking down at the water far below steep walls said to yourself, "there must be a big trout in that pool, and I bet no one has ever caught it!" ?
I have walked many such trails, wondering the same thing to myself. The steep scrambles or sheer walls have kept me from reaching most of those fish. But, I have also started taking it upon myself to search for those fish and go catch them. Recently I recorded a podcast episode in which I talk about my "outdoor obsessions": climbing and tenkara. The skills I have gained through my years of climbing allow me to get to those places where I ask myself whether there is a fish down there.
In the latest edition of the Fly Fish Journal, I recount one such story of chasing big trout in an inaccessible river in Wyoming. If this sounds appealing to you, get yourself a copy of their latest magazine for the story.
Back on the tenkara saddle again
I imagine there are many reasons why people fish: to enjoy the great outdoors, to get away from it all, to heal, to think, to improve; the list is truly endless. Growing up in Maine, fishing was something special.
My mother and aunt tell me the most wonderful stories of reading below deck in the heat of summer. The family dog Topsy, kept pépère (my French Canadian grandfather) company while he spent weekends fishing off the side of his boat on the many lakes of Maine.
Several months ago I was devastated to lose my Uncle Al whom I attribute to opening my eyes to fishing. Since this loss I have found it difficult to pick up my rod though I always keep it close by. I remember being a child and feeling so special driving to the Gulf of Maine with the important task of keeping the eels in check (they sloshed around in a bucket on the floor of the car). The Bluefish were running and this was just the treat we hoped to entice them with. This trip is one of my most cherished memories of time spent with Uncle Al.
My tenkara journey began a couple years back, not long after the flood ravaged Boulder Creek. For me it was a time to mend my relationship with the creek, build trust, and reacquaint with all the wonder and beauty it has to offer.
This past weekend I braved the water once again, and under the guidance of a most admired friend, Allie. Allie is tremendous. She's not only an amazing fly-fishing guide, skilled hunter, and leader of the Rocky Mountain Lady Anglers, she's also a trusted friend. Living over 2,000 miles away from home can be hard and I have such fond memories of us fishing together on holidays.
With Allie by my side I was happy to find the strength and courage to move forward and honor my Uncle with each cast of my tenkara rod.
You found what where?
Ah the smell of donuts fresh out of the oven and the crisp fall breeze wafting in from the open window. Nothing like a great community event to get me in the baking mood!
This past Saturday I joined colleagues, old friends, and about two hundred potential new friends to clean up Boulder Creek. The crackle of the velcro on my safety vest alerted me that it was "go time."
Daniel Galhardo and I proudly led a group of volunteers up to the Eben G. Fine Kayak Park near the mouth of Boulder Canyon. This is one of two areas adopted by Tenkara USA (our other location is just a few miles upstream).
As Boulder Creek sees a lot of action, our part in tidying it up is essential. Aside from friendly fisherman it is also frequented by wildlife, quick dippers, rope swing enthusiasts, inner tube travelers (our town boasts a 9-year running "Tube to Work Day"), and as the park name suggests, kayakers. What does this all mean? The possibilities of what we could find were endless.
What comes to mind are those large bins you have to dig through at those post holiday sales, or stealthily navigating a garage sale for that long forgotten treasure. On this particular adventure there were finds a-plenty, including bed springs, and this "like new" bike frame. Oooh, ahh. And though I was not looking for it I found loads and loads of poison ivy (I wasn't aware of it until the following day). Surprise!
Overall it was a fantastic day with great vibes, and awesome after party at Rocky Mountain Anglers. If asked for any take-home advice, I'd say "Be careful where you step".
Flyathalon – It's a Family Affair
When I first heard the term "flyathlon" I was not quite sure what to make of it. It sounds exciting and definitely piques my interest. As I could not for the life of me recall the lessons I thought I learned my high school Latin class I conducted an on-line search.
The world wide web suggested that "athlon" comes from the Latin for "competition". Looking up flyathlon directed me to the Rocky Mountain Flyathlon website.
The Flyathlon is a competition comprised of "run, fish, beer", one runs a course, stops to catch a fish and take a photo of it, and at the end, winner or loser, drinks some beer with other competitors.
For the second year in a row tenkara was present at the Flyathlon in the hands of the Conrad family. Steve Conrad participated last year, and this year brought his son Tony along.
After the event, Steve posted on his Facebook page: "Made it back home after a weekend off the grid running the Rocky Mountain Flyathalon. My oldest son Tony & I run 12 miles caught fish (Tony 1, Me 4) and drank more than our share of beer. I only did one superman that finished in a beautiful tuck and roll. We're already making plans to return next year. Love it!"
If you want to learn more about this event from Steve, you can hear his conversation with Daniel on this Tenkara Cast episode.
What do you think? Would you take up a challenge involving fishing, running and beer?

U.S. speed eater retains title at July 4 hot dog contest
By Noreen O'Donnell and Edith Honan
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Joey Chestnut, the reigning top dog in the annual Coney Island hot dog eating contest, won his seventh consecutive title on Thursday, devouring 69 hot dogs and buns as thousands of fans urged him on.
"I feel a little full," Chestnut, 29, of San Jose, California, joked after the 10-minute competition. "I'm happy as heck. Things couldn't have gone much better."
Staged like a sporting event, with TV cameras trained on the colorfully nicknamed contestants and high piles of hot dogs, the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest is a summertime event that began in 1916, the year that Nathan's Famous food stand opened on Surf Avenue at New York's seaside Coney Island.
Chestnut, 220 pounds (100 kg) and nicknamed "Jaws," defeated 14 men at a long table to take the mustard yellow champion's belt home once again. He broke his record of 68 hot dogs.
"It was hot as heck out there," Chestnut said, but added that was to be expected in New York on July 4.
The women's champion, 45-year-old Sonya Thomas from Alexandria, Virginia, barely held on to her title, besting the next competitor by only three-quarters of a hot dog.
Thomas managed just short of 37 dogs in 10 minutes, significantly below her record of 45. Second-place finisher Juliet Lee, 46, from Germantown, Maryland, managed to swallow 36 hot dogs.
The 100-pound (45-kg) Thomas, known as "The Black Widow," said she had a problem with the water she had used to dunk the buns, a technique used to make the bread go down more easily. Continued...

Andy Murray says he has a boring public persona for a reason
Andy Murray says that his dour demeanour and gruff responses to journalists' questions are all part of a deliberate plan to avoid saying something that might result in him waking up to unwanted headlines.
The Scot says that he has learnt from experience not to let his guard down in front of the media, something the 26-year-old infamously did at the start of his career when he said that he would support "anyone but England" at the 2006 World Cup. It was a comment that would haunt him for years to come.
In an interview published today in GQ magazine, the world No 2, said: "As an athlete, all I do is try my best to be as good as I can be as a…

Eva Mendes has been granted a restraining order against her alleged stalker.
The actress claims she has been living in "constant fear" of John C. Luna, who she says has been harassing her since 2008 and even turned up at her Los Angeles home in May.
Eva told a judge in court papers Luna believes he is in a relationship with her and has sent her "creepy" letters, cards and nine hours of "bizarre" audio messages.
In her legal papers, she states: "As a result of Mr. Luna's conduct directed at me ... including references in a letter that he knows I am willing to die for him, and his showing up at my house on May 31, 2011, looking for me, I am in constant fear."
She also added: "I do not personally know, nor have any relationship with Mr. Luna, have never had any personal communications with him, nor do I desire any interaction or communication with him whatsoever."
A judge has now ordered that Luna must stay at least 100 yards away from Eva and must not make any attempts to contact her.
Eva also wants him to pay her $8,550 legal bills and a further hearing has been set for June 20.
Eva Mendes has been granted a restraining order against a man who she claims has been stalking her since 2008.
