Healthy institutions and policies are critical. By William J. Richards If we're going to feed and fuel an estimated 9 billion people by 2050 without degrading our environment, U.S. leadership is critical and time is short. Simply achieving "sustainability" is not good enough. We must have the research, technology and production practices to go beyond sustainability. Achieving this goal will require a new vision for U.S. agriculture, forestry and conservation. Solutions from the Land, www.sfldialogue.net, is a serious effort to begin building that vision. Solutions from the Land recently released a report, "Developing a New Vision for U.S. Agriculture, Forestry and Conservation," that articulates the big picture, documenting the current state of land use and providing a vision for the 21st century. I congratulate the team and the sponsors for an excellent report. But, as a farmer and a former chief of USDA's Soil Conservation Service, now the Natural Resources Conservation Service, I'd like to join in with some "here and now" opinions. If we are to achieve and surpass sustainability we must: improve and enhance our soils; improve and expand our current water resources; provide better habitat for wildlife; provide food and fuel to our citizens and exports to the world; provide society with numerous ecosystem benefits, including clean air and water; and protect the environment. It starts with soil. First and foremost we must remember that productivity begins with the soil—maintaining and enhancing its health is key to sustainable land use. For centuries, technology and global expansion of cropland has meant that agriculture's productive capacity has almost always exceeded the demand for food and fiber. Declining prices for commodities and low rates of return to the land contributed to a lack of investment in soil conservation until the Dust Bowl led the federal government to begin a concerted soil conservation effort with the creation of the Soil Conservation Service in 1935. While the role of federal, state and local governments is important, so are healthy rates of return to the land. In this context, renewable energy plays a vital role and can be the "bridge" to develop and enhance our soil and resource base. We all know what renewable energy has done for the Corn Belt and the ag economy. But corn is food, and the world needs food. We must continue the research and development of cellulosic ethanol and find ways to better use biomass from our fields and forests. Accountability forward. Healthy returns to the land alone are not enough to take us beyond sustain-ability in the future. Healthy institutions and policies are also critical. The Solutions from the Land report emphasizes the need for metrics to measure environmental performance. As farmers, we need a certification system that identifies and rewards producers for environmental stewardship. Australia does this well with Landcare. Our Conservation Security Program could offer performance-based benefits. But in order to reward producers for changes and improvements, we need to do a better job of measuring key indicators of sustainability such as air quality, water quality and biodiversity. Conservation compliance, introduced in the Food Security Act of 1985, encouraged us to adopt conservation tillage, no-till and other practices that have greatly reduced erosion and improved economic returns. Compliance is only a condition of eligibility for USDA program benefits, not a legal requirement. If federal farm policy shifts away from commodity programs toward crop insurance programs not covered by conservation compliance, which appears likely, the incentives for continued investment in conservation will be reduced. Crop insurance is voluntary and farmers do pay premiums, but the premiums are significantly less thanks to federal subsidies. If we, as farmers, are to receive the extra benefits, paid with tax dollars, then we should meet conservation standards. I know this is a controversial issue, but we need to be part of the dialogue. Conservation compliance is not regulation, it's regulation prevention. Finally, I believe the most important farm "subsidy" I've received was an education at a land-grant university—The Ohio State University. The research, Extension and education system is what made and keeps U.S. agriculture the envy of the world. As cited in the Solutions from the Land report, research, Extension and education should be a top priority if we want to go beyond sustainability in the 21st century. William J. Richards is an Ohio farmer who served as chief of the USDA Soil Conservation Service (now Natural Resources Conservation Service) from 1990 to 1993. Back to news

Lead Me To Some Soul Today
by Lois Eliassen
The day at the office had been most fatiguing for me. I was grate-ful
to make the first bus and to sink down at last in the welcomed com-fort
of a bus seat. For a moment it seemed like such a wonderful con-trast
to the hustle and hurry I had just come from.
Seated next to me was a plump little old man with white tufts
of hair on both sides of his otherwise bald head and an unlit cigar
dangling from the side of his mouth. I didn't notice him too much at
first. I was too wrapped up in my own thoughts.
My mind turn from one thing to another. I thought about what
mother would have for supper, how hot it was, then how nice it would
be to go swimming, and then how much this man next to me reminded
me of my grandpa. I thought about how unhappy some of the people
on the bus must be and how worthless life must be without Christ. Yes,
worthless, even for this man next to me.
I began then to wonder about him—what he was like and where
he was from and where he was going. Immediately I felt strangely
compelled to give him a tract. I fumbled in my purse, pulled out a
small packet, and began leafing through them. I pondered as to what
kind might be best.
I needed not to ponder long. One seemed peculiarly striking at the
moment. It was called, "Seven Men Went Singing to Heaven." Why I
ever chose that tract when I had those which seemed better I do
not quite know. It was undeniably God's leading. This tract told the
story of seven men (six were recent converts) who went to their death
singing hymns. The seven Christians were World War I prisoners from
Belgium and were executed before a firing squad with that testimony
on their lips.
I hesitated somewhat before handing the tract to him. A moment
before I had tried to break into conversation with him by saying, "My,
it's hot, isn't it?" His dramatic reply was, "Unh!'
By then I was really getting cold feet. "Well, Lord," I prayed,
"here goes. You'll have to protect me if he gets mad. And remind me
that, if he refuses it, You'll be more hurt than I will."
With that I held out the tract to him. "Here sir, perhaps you'd
enjoy reading this. I'm sure it's helped others. Would you like it, sir?"
The man looked at me hesitantly and without saying a word took the
tract and started reading it.
Much to my utter amazement the man began to cry. He looked at
me with tear-filled eyes and said in very broken English, "Dat's de
most vunderful ting I ever read. These men from my country. I have
not been in dis country long. I got-a wife and boy at home. Do you care
���do you mind if I take dis home and let dem read it, too?"
"No sir, of course not. I'd feel privileged if you would."
He smiled at me once more. "Oh tank you, dear girlie, tank you."
hems of Thought
by President Wingblade
A number of years ago a rationalistic society in London determined
that the time had come to explode the old myth of Saul's conversion —
and also that of the resurrection of Jesus. They appointed two men to
make a thorough study and report back.
Both of these men, after open minded research, were so convinced
by many indisputable proofs, that they came back to add their testi-mony
to countless others — that "Christ is risen indeed," and that Saul
had met Him on the Damascus road.
And so, scientific and historical study finds that the resurrection
of Christ has made impacts which no doubts can down. Something did
happen to those broken hearted disciples. There has been power in His
gospel to raise men who are dead in transgressions and sin. There has
been an impact on the long centuries. And the very calendar of time has
been divided by His coming into the world — His death and resurrection.
Now, to wham did the risen Christ appear? To those who expected
Him to rise? No — for almost mo one understood or expected Him to
rise. They rather turned back after the crucifixion to their former sor-rowing
To whom then? To those who loved His appearing — who yearned
for Him, and wanted Him to come. And when He comes again, He will
"appear to those who love His appearing."
And so even today. He will come in a spiritual sense to those who
want Him to come — who open their hearts to Him. "If with all your
heart ye truly seek me ye shall ever surely find me."
Not My Will, But Thine
by Rip Moore
The meeting was over and members of the gospel team were chat-chatting
with lingering church folks. A nondescript man of about fifty
'ame up to me and taking my hand, said, "Thank you for your
testimony tonight, young man." He paused, then said, "Follow the Lord
and He will always lead you into the place of usefullness . . . I'm an
example of one who didn't . . . "He was speaking with emotion now.
"The Lord called me when I was a young man—to be a preacher—
but I wanted to make money . . . I went my own way .. . now . .
something's missing in my life." He squeezed my hand hard and
turned away, almost crying.

Girls' Chorus Leaves For
Michigan-Wisconsin Trip
Concert Tour Takes Choir
To the Pacific Northwest
On Friday, April 23, the Chapel Choir will leave campus,—bound
for the Pacific Northwest on its spring trip. The choir will be away for
over two weeks and will return on Monday, May 10. During this time
they will give concerts in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana, Oregon, and Washington, going as far as Seattle, where they
will be the guests of the Central Baptist Church. (See schedule below.)
Director C. Howard Smith has been working for months with choir
president Harris Paulson and business manager Rod Erickson writing
to churches and planning the itinerary. The schedule this year includes
besides the usual church concerts, two concerts in Bellingham and
Ferndale (Washington) high schools on Monday, May 3. The choir has
been practicing five hours a week since the beginning of the school
year mainly in preparation for this tour, the biggest event of its season.
Weekend trips to Willmar and Duluth have served as "shakedown
cruises" to prepare the group for the ordeal of the long trip.
The 39-member choir will travel in a chartered Greyhound bits
driven by George Carr, the same driver who took the Male Chorus' to
the east coast last year.
The 18-day tour will be hard on the choir members both physiCall
and scholastically, but they expect to be more than repaid by th f
of travelling, by the hospitality of the church folk, and by the sa
tion of singing for the Lord.

Monday evening the boys' inter-mural
season finished with a sharp
battle between the West and Min-nesota.
The game was hard fought
all the way with the score margin
never more than six points. Still
Minnesota was clearly the best
team for the evening. With good
ball-handling and team play they
beat west 57-53.
Howard Reckstad was the best
player on the floor for the even-ing.
His constant clearing of the
backboards lead to a game control-led
by Minnesota. Ronnie Olson
provided the scoring punch for
Minnesota while Marlyn Linguist
and Dale Larson controlled the
ball when that was necessary.
Top man for the beaten West
was Bud Pierce who lead the West
all the while with his left shoots
and smooth ball handling. Clar-ence
Woods also provided much
of the punch that kept the West
in the contest.

As I See It . • •
by Mortsyn
Hearty men eat hearty meals! Last Saturday night the Bethel
letter-men proved to be a group entirely composed of hearty eaters.
Some of the heartiers, who had as many as five "helpings," were
really fed-up by the time the Athletic Banquet was finished. The food
was exquisite, the speaker good, the general fellowship on a high-pitched
level. Yet, something was missing. Something vital for an
athletic banquet!
All through the current school year this something has been
significantly brought to face. Through the football season it was there.
Through the basketball season it existed too. Now, through the trials
of spring sports it comes into sight again. Some recognize it and try to
rationalize upon it. Others calmly observe while their own malignant
"lack of interest" continues to diminish the struggling thing.
An often repeated sentiment, concerning inter-collegiate athletics
at Bethel, is that we shouldn't be competing with other colleges because
it's injurious to our bodies, it costs the school too much, and there's
no purpose in it. How unfortunate that so many should have such an
attitude. Apparently, Bethel is to serve the Lord in the academics of
scholasticism, culture, social-life, but not in athletics. No wonder the
various athletic teams at Bethel have felt occasionally that they've
had to play without the moral support of the school behind them. A
team can win and be exalted easily through sportsmen's cheering; but,
is it good sportmanship to turn one's back on his own team when it
Currently, a struggling letter-men's club is seeking a way to revive
a genuine interest at the Royal's home-base for their athletic endeavors.
They, and others on campus, have caught the vision of the potentialities
of testimony from Christian athletics. All of Bethel-dom should be as
proud of their young men and women who seek to testify for Christ in
this capacity as these young lives are to be at a campus of genuine
Christian scholarship. Athletics has a definite place at Bethel!
Perhaps those concerns of some are justified to an extent. But, an
athlete who trains to keep his body from injuries plus the proper interest
for inter-collegiate athletics should cancel the fear of financial deficit;
and through the power of its testimony such activity has a tremendous
purpose as goal. As the arrangements for a major in physical education
come into sight the Royals will find more and more prospects for win-ning
teams, and being able to keep them, can mold them into Christian
coaches. These, in turn, can be of the greatest influence to scores of
young lives.
Yes, something was missing at the athletic banquet last Saturday
night. Something vital for an athletic banquet! Your moral support.

He gets OK grades in school. He has a few friends. They seem passable. He eats at the table every night and sits in the back seat of the car every weekend, but really, he's a teenage boy. You don't know him.
You think you do, but you don't. He's a mess. Underneath his skin he's all hormones and confusion and angst and misunderstanding. Oh, and video games.
With pimples and/or an awkward teenage gait, the boy won't be scaring anybody any time soon. So a jar of Mortal Terror should help him out, in case he absolutely needs to scare the heebies out of somebody.
He's old enough to appreciate the irony, but still young enough to maybe actually play with it when nobody's looking.
There's a very real danger that your son may be shopping somewhere like Hot Topic. Stop this madness at once with a t-shirt from Meat Bun. Your safest/best option would probably be their classic "4th Gen" shirt, now available in grey-on-black.
You might think buying him a game is a good idea. It's not. He's likely to be very fussy with his games. Very snobby. So get him this. It'll let him buy his own games!
It won't actually be released by Christmas, but present him with a pre-order receipt for one and he'll still be happy. It's a gaming handheld, it's new, it's shiny, he'll likely want one, so you'll be doing a great deed by getting one for him.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — With a flawless voice that recalled past "American Idol" finalist Jennifer Hudson and a sense of determination after not making it in previous seasons, Candice Glover did the one thing Hudson wasn't able to do: She won the title of "American Idol."
"I always knew for some reason that it would happen if I kept going," said Glover backstage Thursday after her coronation.
The 23-year-old vocal powerhouse from St. Helena Island, S.C., auditioned for the ninth and 11th seasons of the Fox singing competition but didn't ascend to the finals until this season.
Glover looked stunned when "Idol" host Ryan Seacrest announced amid a flurry of confetti that she had bested soulful 22-year-old country singer Kree Harrison from Woodville, Texas.
"I don't remember him saying my name," said Glover. "I do remember confetti getting in my mouth."
After her crowning, an emotional Glover sobbed her way through her new single "I Am Beautiful."
It was fitting that Hudson, who went on to win a Grammy and an Oscar after being the sixth contestant eliminated during the third season, returned for Thursday's 12th season finale to duet with Glover on Natalie Cole's "Inseparable."
"I look up to her and, honestly, she is so successful after this show, and I really admire her," said Glover, who worked as an excursions coordinator renting scooters and golf carts back home. "I finally got a chance to not only meet her but sing with her."
Hudson was among the guest stars who helped fill out the two-hour finale show, including Psy, Frankie Valli, Emeli Sande, Jessie J, Aretha Franklin and former "Idol" judge Jennifer Lopez. Current "Idol" judges Keith Urban and Mariah Carey — along with Randy Jackson on bass — also performed.
Jackson previously declared Wednesday's three-song showdown a dead heat between Harrison and Glover, who have both once been among the show's low vote-getters.
"The title is freaking amazing, and I'm so proud of Candice, but for me, I'm so thankful I could even stand next to her on the finale," said Harrison, who now lives in Nashville, Tenn.
Glover's win marks the first time a female and a nonwhite singer has won the competition since Jordin Sparks dominated the sixth season in 2007. The previous five winners — Phillip Phillips, Scotty McCreery, Lee DeWyze, Kris Allen and David Cook — were all Caucasian guitar players, known to "Idol" fans as WGWGs, or white guys with guitars.
The lack of a female champion for the past five years was mocked in a finale bit featuring the female finalists, in cahoots with Sparks, jokingly sabotaging this season's five male contestants.
Last year's finale between Phillips and budding pop diva Jessica Sanchez brought in 132 million votes. The vote totals for Thursday's finale weren't shared with viewers.
Besides the crowning of Glover, Thursday's finale also served as a final farewell for Jackson, the show's last remaining original judge who announced last week that he's leaving "Idol" to focus on his record label and other business opportunities. Jackson served as a judge on all 12 seasons of "Idol." He first appeared on the panel alongside Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul when the competition debuted in 2002, becoming famous for his easygoing "yo, dawg" rapport with contestants.
"I love everybody that walked on this show," Jackson said. He added, "Hopefully, I touched their lives a little bit. They certainly touched mine."
It's unclear if Urban, Carey and hip-hop diva Nicki Minaj will return as judges next season after reports surfaced last week they wouldn't be asked back to "Idol."
"I have no idea," said Urban. "There's talk about it. I'm in the studio finishing an album, putting a tour together. We hit the road in July."

Elliot Spitzer proposes to save us from "gouging" gas stations. The trouble is that he is interfering in markets with NO CLUE about economics. Here we have a case of the blind leading the deaf. The deaf person can see perfectly fine the automobile heading towards them, but the blind person, thinking the deaf person doesn't understand that the blind person is leading him, grasps all the harder.
The problem can be clearly seen in this quote (also here): "Spitzer said the stations increased their at-the-pump prices by 25 to 75 percent for gas already in their holding facilities." Once you've purchased something, do you really care how much it cost? If you've purchased it for use value, you only care if you are considering buying another, at which point you decide if the value you've gotten is worth the price of the new one (not the first one you bought). If you've purchased it for resale, you only care how much the next tanker will cost.
Let me repeat that, since it's central: Gasoline retailers really don't care how much they paid for gasoline. They'd like to make a profit, but even more than that, they want to stay in business. That means that no matter how much they paid, they're going to charge enough to cover the next delivery. That's why gasoline prices tend to shoot up, and drop slowly.
So, Elliot Spitzer is being purely evil when he pursues a case like this. Why? Because he is doing so not because winning the case will make NY a better place to live. He is bringing this lawsuit to pander to the base instincts of the voting public. He wants to be seen as "Having Done Something About High Gas Prices."
If Elliot were truly a leader, he would publicly refuse to enforce this law. He would take the time to educate all New Yorkers of the foolishness of a law like this. If that be political suicide, better to die an honorable death. "I regret that I have but one political career to give to my country." is a sentiment that more politicians should express.
I encourage you to vote against Elliot Spitzer in the New York State Governor's race.

Worst case scenario is a RMC (Remote Memory Cache) miss, which is ~1.2us for farthest node in a 3D Torus (2 dimension jumps, 4 total).

HT/AMD-Opteron was a natural interface for us to start with since a) it is available today, and b) the interface is proven and standardized (ever tried interfacing an ASIC with the P6 Processor bus which changes every 3 months ?). However, as we all know, Intel have announced QPI and it would be pretty "un-clever" of us to not look into that platform aswell :) > I know of only a few systems which ship > with HTX slots - not an endangered species? There are only a few systems (as in complete servers from HP/IBM etc) that ship with HTX slots today, yes.

MichaelI love your site, your flies, and your prices. Second year in which I have ordered flies for the season from you, and I am completely satisfied. I'd write the same review for every pattern I ordered--exactly what I was looking for, with fine quality and an unbeatable price. Your site is easy to use, and the range of flies is really everything I could possibly imagine trying, here in the northeast at least. Totally no-hassle, with prompt delivery, good packaging, and also some great deals even beyond the good prices you already offer. I recommend you to everyone I know who flyfishes.
MacI just received flies from you and two other online fly shops and directly purchased from a fly shop I know in the SF Bay area on Monday in preparation for a week in Montana starting next week and another week in Wyoming in late June. I think your flies, though different than the others by type, are superior in overall value and superior of excellent quality. Of course the proof is how they perform when wet and their durability to hold up to fish! They are better than the photos in your website. Thank you, I look forward to my next order.
John P.Just got back from boca paila and in one day on the crazy charlie I got 15 bone fish and one 30" permit fly is still good
RussellI wanted to take this moment to provide feedback on my recent purchase. My order was filled, shipped promptly and delivered a day before scheduled. As for the wooly buggers � WOW!!! I am extremely pleased with the quality and the color schemes. The trout go crazy. It is a good thing that I am a catch and release angler because if I was not I would be home by 9 am. You definitely have a repeat customer. Keep up the good work.
Matt WilsonHey guys,---just wanted to drop you a line on my "success" of using you flies. I purchased several fly patterns last year and had great success with them!! Being a Fly-fishing guide myself in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado, and an FFF Master Casting Instructor, I really enjoyed the quality of the ties. I obtained a lot of hook-ups over the season and plan to get more this season. Keep up the Good Work, at prices we all can afford. This current economy demands that we shop around for good prices instead of paying over $2.00 a fly in some cases. Kudo's to You!!!!
MichaelMike and Lee Ann, The quality of your flies are superb. When buying flies from a new business I normally look at the smaller hook sizes (# 20 and smaller) first to determine if the person tying the fly got it right. Your #22 BWO flies are perfect, even under a magnifying glass. I live in eastern Maryland, with a fair number of fly shops in the Maryland and Pennsylvania area (including Orvis shops) and your flies are by far the better quality. I'm mostly impressed with your Eastern Collection, every fly is perfectly tied and the hoppers are standouts. The March Brown and Red Humpy dries are also beautifully tied. Many thanks for the follow-up.
JohnMike and Lee Ann: OK, OK, I tried another online fly shop. Three things worth noting. Whoever designed your web site architecture really knows what they are doing. Second, the flies I received from your competitor were poorly & inconsistently tied, unraveling with maddening predictability. Finally the cascading discount along with the "Frequent Flyer" program makes the cost of your flies better than the straight ahead �cheap fly� proposition your competitor uses because at least in their case, the flies are, in fact, cheap! Cheaply made and poorly tied from what appears to be inferior materials. Keep up the good work. I won�t stray again...My only suggestion is more midge patterns.
HenryI absolutely love discountflies.com !! You have superior flies and insanely low prices. I have since recommended your site to at least 10 to 12 friends and just about anyone I run into on the stream. I have had great success on your wooly buggers as well as your copper john patterns. Thank you so much for such a great site and service to the fly-fishing community. You guys are the real deal and you have a life long customer. Best Regards,
J.R.Thank you for your flies. I especially like, that is an understatement, I love the flash fry. I have been on the river twice since buying them and both times, have experienced strike after strike. I will definitely be ordering flies from you again soon. Thank You for all the fun,
JustinAs always the flies were excellent and much better quality than I've found other places. Add the quality to your lower than anybody else's price, and how can I go wrong if I keep coming back. Thanks and "Go fishing tomorrow".
StevenJust wanted to let you know that I have been very satisfied with the flies I've bought from Discount Flies. The quality is very good and the patterns are well represented on your website. I just returned from a trip to the Bahamas and the Squimp was a fantastic fly. Even our guide commented about how excited the bonefish got when they saw the fly.
Thanks, NickI was completely satisfied with my purchase from Discountflies! Your flies are exceptional quality; far better than other flies purchased on-line from other sources. I am looking forward to purchases in the future.
WaltHello! Mike and Lee Ann! Got the flies in good time. I have been having an absolute ball catching fish with these flies. I haven't even gotten around to trying a couple of them yet, as I am catching so many on the ones I have tried. Just a couple evenings ago, I tried the brown wire SFN for the first time and on the second cast hooked into a 33" hen that took me nearly 20 mins. to land, on the next cast in the same hole I hooked into a 36 1/4 " male and fought him for 18 mins. That is the biggest steelie I have caught on this river. The next night I hooked 3 fish in 22 mins. on the Conehead bite me bugger black color, I had to stop because of darkness. I have been fortunate to have landed 98 fish so far and hope to hit the century mark in the next few days. I don't fly fish for these steelies, but instead use a sliding float with 36" of leader and the fly on a fly snap. It sure works and your flies are the biggest reason for my success.
Thanks alot, DanMy fishing buddy and I used the flies this weekend on the South Fork of the Snake River in Idaho (our home waters) and they were smokin'. 15+ brown trout over 20" and a few over 24" (along with countless smaller fish). We fished them in Chile in January with great results. We also used them a couple of weeks on the Big Hole river in Montana and they were on fire. They are extremely durable and fish love them. We'll be ordering more for our summer trip up to the Bow River in Alberta. Haven't tried the Bug Eye Black Bunny yet, hopefully this weekend.
DaveI take an annual fly fishing trip to Brittish Columbia and every year, part of the preparation frenzy with all of us gearhounds out here is getting the right patterns. Between our group we have tied, purchased from the big retailers and bought from various sources on line. This year I thought I would try a couple on-line providers (buy some flies from each to test out the quality) Well, YOU WIN in grand fashion...I must say I was very impressed with all the patterns I recieved on the first shipment and have already placed a second order. I was also very impressed with the website, the follow-up emails and the turn around time...oh yes and the prices! Can't wait to get these bugs wet!!
ScottI just wanted to let you know that it's so refreshing to work with a business that is so fast and easy to work with. You are very professional and know how to treat your customers. I had an incredible day out on the river last Friday and wanted to show my appreciation, so I will be coming back to your online store for all my flies and have already recommended you to my fly fishing friends.
KevinThe Gummy Stonefly - Golden were killers on the Deschutes mid June at the end of the salmon fly hatch. Unfortunately, I only had six with me and between the bottom and the big fish, they didn't last the whole trip.
BaronReceived my order today. The quality of all the flies is excellent. At this price, I may have tied my last fly. You guys interested in buying a used vice?
NickI ordered some other stuff from Orvis the same day as I ordered from you, and received it 5 days after yours. Thought you'd like to know you are beating the big boys on service!
DaveI bought some size 14 Mosquitos from you last year and took them to Alaska last September. They proved to be irresistable to the Arctic Grayling. I must have caught 2 dozen Grayling on your mosquitos. Then I tried a mosquito that I bought from another shop, and didn't get a bite. The results speak for themselves!
JoeI received my order yesterday and the flies look terrific. I generally tie my own nymphs but lately I haven't had time. In the past I purchased from other online stores and websites but by far your flies are the best quality I have received.
DonaldExcellent flies that have already caught fish for me. I used another discount shop over the internet last year, but your flies are definitely better. I will purchase from you again.
StevenI was completely satisfied with your flies, and thought it was awesome how you separated the fly type by name and container, and marked each container. This is hands-down the best condition I've received flies in from anyone. And the flies look great too. Thanks so much, I will buy from you again!
MikeJust this morning I caught a 1lb wild brown trout in the Clonnard-River, County Roscommon Ireland on a hares ear nymph I purchased from you. Cheers
PatNot only am I pleased ,but actually pleasantly surprised by the quality of the ties, the ease of ordering, and the speed in delivering. I am now going through my dry flies to place another order. Your web page will be added to my favorites. Thank you,
HarryI have been pleased with the flies and the service that you provide. It has been a delight to do business with you. Most businesses out there could take a lesson from the way you run your store. I am not inclined to brag up any business out there but those that I do I will support strongly. I wish most businesses were like yours but that's not always the case. I have only had one problem with your flies and that was an Adams size 22 that got tore up after the sixth brown trout took it and mangled it up (that's a good Problem!) Brown trout seem to be a little rough on flies. I'll have to stock up on more of those on the next order I place. Just to let you know I received the last order of flies today. Again the quality is excellent! Thanks!
RobertThanks for the follow up and all the personal service, it is a nice change. I will definitely be doing business with you for in the future. Thanks For the great flies at a great price.
RyanI've tried a number of different sources for flies and feel that your company offers the best price value relation on the market. Rest assured, I'll be ordering more very soon as our dry fly season approaches. Thanks for the follow up....it's impressive. Kind Regards,
JoeYour flies were wonderful!. I had my dream day on the South Fork of the Walla Walla River in Northeastern Oregon this weekend. 19 and 20 inch Rainbows all day long on a Royal Stimulator. That fly took a beating, but it kept on catching fish. Thank you very much!.
ThorinHello from the Roaring Fork Valley. Your flies and service are great! I have ordered from you 3 times now, and have been very happy. So far, with your flies, I have caught bonefish, permit, rainbows, browns, brookies, greenback cutts, colorado river cutts and hopefully many more species. Thanks,
SteveJust to let you know I received my order today with no problems. The flies look as good as usual. Also, I appreciate the note you put on my copy of the order. I will continue to buy from you. Nobody else even comes close to what you sell your flies for and the service is terrific.
RobertI was very satisfied with my flies. Thanks for the personal service (and those few extra flies you snuck in to my order).
MarkI must say I am pleasantly surprised at my flies. They are good quality. I was not expecting this. My immediate reaction to "Discount Flies" was "Poor quality Flies". But in fact they were quite the opposite. How you sell these at such low prices and maintain your quality I am not sure. Whatever it is you do, by all means keep doing it. You can be assured that you have gained a regular costomer. Also, I liked the personal message in the package- It added a quality of care for the costomer that other companies don't offer. I commend you on your excellence in your products.
WillI just wanted to let you know how great your web site is, and how fast I got my order. Your flies are a lot better and cost less than the flies I was getting at my local sports store. I was really impressed and I will be making all my fly purchases through you guys!!! Great Job
DamonI want to just say that the flies are first class and the service goes without saying. It's nice to know that someone still knows what service is all about. Thanks again!
Bob...you filled my order faster than any one else, Orvis, Cabela's etc
DaveThank you for shipping my flies in such an quick and efficient manner. I'm pleased with both the quality and the price of your merchandise. Good work.
JeffEverything arrived in good shape. Flies are very nicely done. Glad (and surprised) you can sell them for what you do.
JayTo my surprise, I received my flies just 2 days after placing the order and could not be happier with my purchase. Not only with the turn around time but with their exceptional quality. I really couldn't ask for anything more. I may end up moving back east soon, but I will certainly continue to buy flies from you. I have already told some friends about your shop and will do so from now on. Thanks very much and keep up the great work. Sincerely,
RussI just would like to inform you that the shipment has arrived. Thank you for the excellent service. The flies look great :-) I'll be letting my friends know where to purchase their flies from now on.
GeraldI received my order this morning of your flies and I was really impressed with the quality of them. I had a light client day at work and decided to hit the river. I tied on your size eight Black Matuka Red Head. On my second cast I hooked, caught and release. a nineteen inch three pound plus Rainbow. Just wanted to say thanks. I'm sure I'll be buying a lot more all year long. Please E-mail me any newsletters you might put out through the year, your website is forever saved in my system. Thanks again,
PhilI JUST WANTED TO SAY, "GREAT JOB!" I ORDERED FROM YOU PREVIOUSLY AND WAS GREATLY PLEASED WITH YOUR TIMELINESS, AND QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP. I WILL MOST DEFINITELY BE ORDERING FROM YOU IN THE FUTURE, AND WILL BE RECOMMENDING YOU TO ALL MY FLYFISHING BUDDIES. REGARDS,

There were overcast conditions along the Schuylkill for the start of the Philadelphia City Championships last Sunday, and initially the prospects were cloudy for area schools as not all of their rowers fared well in the early going. But as the weather improved throughout the day, so did the fortunes of Mount St. Joseph, Penn Charter, Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, and Germantown Friends, which each came away with at least one gold medal.
The Mount churned out an impressive six-second victory in the girls' marquee event, the varsity eight, while also winning the JV eight final and snaring a silver medal in the lightweight four and a bronze in the lightweight eight.
Penn Charter, now in the fourth season of its rowing rebirth, was happy to claim a single bronze medal at the 2011 Cities. Last weekend, the Quakers captured two gold medals (boys JV double and girls novice double), two silvers (girls JV double and boys novice quad), and a bronze (girls JV quad). One of just three rowers for GFS, Andrew Bair, continued his season-long win streak in the JV single with a gold-medal effort.
Similarly dominant in the girls varsity single, senior Jen Sager struck gold for Springside Chestnut Hill, as did the boys novice single and the girls novice quad. Another boys novice rower won a bronze medal in the single, and there were third-place finishes for the boys novice quad and the girls lightweight double.
Most boats had to qualify in morning head races (where crews race the clock, not each other) in order to reach the finals in the afternoon, but in some categories the number of entries was low enough that the boats went straight through to the medal races. In all the qualifiers, the crews with the six fastest times advanced.
In the very first event of the day, two of three novice singles from Springside Chestnut Hill made the cut. Jimmy Klauder put up the best time overall, six minutes, 7.08 seconds, and fellow freshman Rayan Bousso was third. The two switched spots in the finals later on, with Bousso bagging the gold medal in 6:24.85, while Klauder captured the bronze (6:34.51), following the runner-up from Inter-Ac League rival Malvern.
In the boys novice quad, there were qualifiers from both Penn Charter (stroke to bow: Peter Ciarrocchi, Ethan Ashley, James Paolini, and Chad Coursen) and SCH (Andrea Dragani, Thomas Andrews, Tommy Sivick, Matt Miller). In keeping with their qualifying places, PC finished second in the finals (5:34.24) and SCH took the bronze (5:38.93) behind gold medalist Malvern.
Two girls boats which did not have to qualify in the heats were the SCH novice quad (stroke to bow: Henney Hambrose, Camora Love-Mitchell, Elizabeth McClafferty, Breon West), and the Penn Charter novice double (Sophie Eldridge, Rachael Gordon). Both came away from the finals with gold medals. The SCH quartet won in 5:51.79, more than eight seconds ahead of number two Conestoga High, while the Quakers' combo clocked in at 6:34.18, 13 seconds in front of runner-up Sacred Heart.
A golden disk also was awarded to Germantown Friends' Bair, who has won every JV single event on the Kelly Drive course this spring. He was the fastest qualifier by seven seconds, and in the final he posted a time of 5:41.27, which put him all alone in front of the pack, which was led by a rower from Roman Catholic High School in 5:53.44. Standing 6'4" but underweight, Bair will be racing in the senior single category at the Stotesbury Cup Regatta, in which there is no JV single event.
Mount St. Joseph's day got off to a rocky start as the first four boats to race were unable to qualify. The closest to making the cut was the freshman eight, which placed eighth.
Things perked up around the MSJ tent when the JV eight came downriver, clearly having a good row. Cox Annie Tenzinger urged her rowers (stroke to bow – Maddie Lawn, Maddie Westcott, Lauren Matchett, Jacqueline James, Jocelyn Ziemniak, Emily Ruddy, Gwynedd Kieffer, and Natalie Simms) on to the second-best qualifying time, at 4:53.95 to Montclair High's 4:52.51.
A time of 5:31.92 netted fifth place and a trip to the finals for the lightweight four, in which cox Madi Kist called cadence for Emily McHugh, Rachel Heller, Maura O'Donnell, and Elizabeth McKernan. One of two Magic second eights just missed qualifying with a seventh place showing, but the "A" boat moved on with a third-place time of 5:06.52. In this vessel, coxswain Alyssa Pagliaro was preceded downriver by Kate Jones, Briana Sylvester, Cathleen Keene, Becca McCool, Emma Thompson, Sarah Krmpotich, Carly Scullin, and Caroline Carbone.
The Mount varsity eight qualified easily at the front of the field. The Magic's time of 4:42.14 put them more than seven seconds ahead of the closest rival. Cox Erin McElroy was directing the usual suspects, Dana Lerro, Julie McGlynn, Katie O'Connell, Darian DiCianno, Dana Zielinski, Emily Carbone, Rose Ehrlich, and Kiera McCloy.
Back in the small boat racing, SCH and GFS were unable to qualify in the boys JV double, but Penn Charter juniors Kevin Kelly (stroke) and Spencer Grant put up the fastest qualifying time, two seconds ahead of Ridgewood High from northern New Jersey. The Garden State duo gave the Quakers a real workout in the final, but PC pulled out the gold medal victory, recording a time of 5:14.35 to the second-place figure of 5:14.82.
Ridgewood was also the chief rival for the girls JV double from Charter. PC juniors Heidi Zisselman (stroke) and Maria Georgiou qualified a little over five seconds ahead of the Maroons, who were in third, a fraction of a second behind Conestoga. Ridgewood went on to win the final, though (in 6:08.85), while the silver medal was culled by the Quakers (6:10.81) and the bronze went to Conestoga (6:16.56).
"We were disappointed, but Heidi and I looked on it as a learning experience," remarked Georgiou, a Chestnut Hill resident. "In the early races this year we were out in front of everybody most of the time, and it was valuable to have to the experience of needing to really race all the way down the course."
The other Charter medal was the bronze earned by the girls JV quad (stroke to bow: Katie O'Malley, Celina McCall, Julia Mammone, and Tara Malone), which had also been third in the qualifying heat. The top qualifier, Conestoga, also won the final, while the third-place Quakers (5:42.67) were between two New Jersey crews, runner-up Haddon Township and number four Egg Harbor.
In all, the five-medal effort at Cities was a major step forward for PC crew.
"All of our boats that went on to the finals ended up medaling," Georgiou pointed out. "We're really happy, and proud of our team.
"We're spending a lot more time actually practicing out on the water than when I was a freshman," she explained, noting that the program has become better-equipped over the last few years. "A couple of years ago we saw we had potential and we acted on it. Everyone's been working really hard, and we knew that we could have an impact at the City Championships."
Another JV quad that reached the finals was the SCH boys' boat. Blue Devils (stroke to bow) Peter Anthony, Dylan Brush, Larry Wargo, and Will Elliott qualified fifth and then took the same place in the medal race.
The girls varsity quad for SCH (Alana Noble, Katie Blake, Anna Rose Bedrosian, Anna Valkciukas) also had the identical results in both its successful qualifying effort and in the finals, placing fourth in each race.
Due to dearth of entries, the SCH girls had their lightweight quad, lightweight double, and varsity single go straight to the finals without needing to qualify. The first two boats brought up the rear in their contests, but the double (Maddy Canning-stroke, Marguerite Zabriskie-bow) lucked out, receiving a bronze medal because there were only three boats in the race.
Earlier in the season, two North Jersey single rowers arrived one at a time to take on SCH's Sager in the varsity category. She defeated each of them individually in Manny Flick regattas, and last Sunday she topped both of them in the Cities final. Sager came through in 6:13.07, ahead of Mary Hamilton of Mother of Divine Grace (6:19.56) and Averyl Freimarck of Glen Ridge (6:22.17). The closest local competitor was from Conestoga, fourth in 6:40.04.
Mount St. Joe's first medal, a gold, came via the JV eight, which overcame Montclair, the top qualifier. The Magic won in 5:12.14, with Montclair second (5:13.60) and fellow New Jerseyans Holy Spirit in third (6:20.16). Next, the Mount claimed a rare "fours" medal as the lightweights captured silver (5:48.17), arriving in between victorious Egg Harbor (5:44.34) and Agnes Irwin (5:51.23).
The lightweight eight final featured a two-boat race out front, with Holy Spirit (5:01.24) prevailing over Montclair (5:02.69). In third coming alongside Peter's Island, the MSJ lights (5:15.23) faced a strong sprint from both New Jersey's Moorestown High (5:15.90) and Egg Harbor (5:18.47), but fought back to bag the bronze.
The Magic second eight finished just out of the medals, coming in fourth at 5:24.87 right behind Oakcrest (N.J.) High School (5:23.22). Spirit won in 5:17.67.
Undefeated on the Schuylkill this spring, the varsity eight Mounties knew all their fellow finalists would be eager to pull an upset.
"We had a strong start," said senior stroke Dana Lerro, who signed with Duke University last November. "Other crews had good moves, but we made sure that we paid attention. I think we could all see [New Jersey's Bishop] Eustace, just because they were so close to us on the port side. Radnor [High School] was harder to see because they were on the outside, but Erin [the coxswain] kept us aware of them."
In a distinguished career at the City Championships, Lerro had won a gold medal in the novice eight as a freshman, and followed that with varsity eight victories in her sophomore and junior years. She was able to celebrate four in a row as the Magic steamed past the timing tower in 4:52.72, while Eustace (4:58.64) and Radnor (4:58.85) dueled to a photo finish for the silver and bronze medals.
Spirit was fourth (5:01.24) just ahead of Merion Mercy (5:01.38), which had been a strong contender during the Manny Flick series and had qualified second at Cities. New Jersey's Absegami was well off the pace, sixth in 5:12.44.
"We had a good Flick season so it was nice to do it again when it counted in a medal race," Lerro said. "It's exciting, because it's the first part of the 'trifecta' for Philly crews; Cities, Stotes, and Nationals."

Whoa, Beyonce!
We never thought we'd see the day when the glamorous singer would part from her signature long lustrous locks, but it looks like that day has come.
The 31-year-old star showed off a brand new blond cropped pixie cut on her Instagram on Wednesday, and we're amazed at the results!
NEWS: Beyonce's hair gets stuck in fan on stage
She's almost unrecognizable with this seriously short 'do, and we're wondering if the hair-raising incident on stage with the fan had something to do with this drastic change.
(See the Instagram photos below)
The major hair update comes just two days after the summer leg of her Mrs. Carter Tour wrapped, so we're betting that Bey was simply ready to let loose and be free!
From the looks of her coy selfies, she's absolutely loving it--and for good reason!
VIDEO: Watch Beyonce tell a fan to "put that damn camera down" during her show!
Jay Z's ladylove certainly has the confidence and poise to pull off a pixie cut, not to mention her gorgeous good looks and enviable facial features.
Truth be told, the haircut feels fresh, grown-up and downright rebellious.
We can't wait to see how she embraces her bold new 'do!
What do you think of Beyonce's new pixie cut?

"The wait was worth it," Tribune reporter David Condon wrote about the 1973 Sugar Bowl. "It was one of the greatest games ever played in college football."
Ara Parseghian vs. Paul "Bear" Bryant. North vs. South. Baptists vs. Catholics. Unbeaten vs. Unbeaten. Two of the nation's greatest programs playing each other not only for the first time, but also for the national title. In the Sugar Bowl on Dec. 31 in New Orleans. As Howard Cosell said, "At Notre Dame, football is a religion. At Alabama, it is a way of life."
On Monday, the two teams will meet again — and again a national championship is on the line. It could be the most-watched college football game ever, but it still has a way to go before it compares to the hype preceding that New Year's Eve matchup four decades ago.
Notre Dame started the 1973 season ranked No. 8. Behind linebacker Greg Collins, who had two solo tackles and 16 assists, they first pounded John Pont's Northwestern team 44-0 on Sept. 22. The tightest game came two weeks later in South Bend against Michigan State, when the Irish won 14-10. The biggest regular season matchup was Oct. 27 against No. 6 USC; behind star running back Eric Penick, who had an 85-yard TD run, ND beat the Trojans 23-14. Notre Dame ended its regular season with another 44-0 win, this time at Miami.
Alabama, meanwhile, plowed through its schedule, beating, among others, California 66-0 and Virginia Tech 77-6.
After that, the only question was which bowl game would land the Irish. The Orange Bowl offered Notre Dame the most money. But Bryant, whose team was No. 1, challenged Parseghian to bring his No. 3-ranked team to New Orleans. Parseghian took the dare. Oddsmakers had Alabama a six-point favorite.
Coverage in the weeks leading up to the game was breathless. Bryant, known for his trademark houndstooth hat, was in his 15th year at Alabama and had built one of the most dominant teams in college football. Notre Dame was the most storied program in the country: Knute Rockne, the Four Horsemen, George "The Gipper" Gipp, Frank Leahy, Paul Hornung and Oak Park's Johnny Lattner.
"Tomorrow night's national championship duel has been ballyhooed with so many outlandish adjectives and labels that history will record it as the Superlative Bowl," Condon wrote for the Tribune's Dec. 31 edition. "New Orleans is wild. Bowl fever is everywhere. The Dixie gang looks at this game as a chance to get even with the Yankees. Notre Dame doesn't want to make this another Civil War, although one Irish fan said, 'If they want to fight us like we're Yankees, we'll fight them like they're Orangemen.'"
More than 85,000 people packed Tulane Stadium that Monday night. The weather was frigid and a light rain fell.
Notre Dame scored first with 3:19 to play in the first quarter, although a bobbled snap led to a missed extra point. Alabama then took the lead 7-6 midway through the second quarter. But on the next play, Notre Dame's Al Hunter returned the kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown. Notre Dame went for two and led 14-7.
Alabama kicked a field goal right before the half to narrow the score to 14-10.
"It was suddenly cold," Condon wrote. "But the Irish and Tide football elevens were hot when they charged back from the halftime rest period. Alabama played its hot hand immediately."
They drove from their own 4, "filling the air with footballs between an occasional ground sortie," before finally scoring on a 5-yard TD run. 17-14 Alabama.
"Momentarily, it sounded as tho Gen. Sherman had been chased out of Dixie," Condon wrote.
But then a Crimson Tide fumble at its own 11 led to an Irish TD and the score going into the final quarter stood at 21-17.
"And that's the way it went into the final period, 15 minutes of tingling football that left the largest crowd in Sugar Bowl history on edge," Condon wrote.
Alabama retook the lead on a 25-yard pass play, but missed the extra point, a mistake that would come back to haunt the team. Notre Dame then drove to Alabama's 2, but on fourth down settled for a field go to regain the lead, 24-23, with 5:30 left.
"The final excitement was magnificent," Condon wrote.
After the kickoff, Alabama started its drive at its own 40, but after a third-down sack, was forced to punt. The kick pinned Notre Dame back on its own 1 yard line.
"Alabama could win it with a safety if the Irish were pushed back that slim yard," Condon wrote. "Alabama could win with a field goal if Notre Dame punted from the end zone.
"And it appeared that Bryant's strategy had a good chance of paying off as Notre Dame came up to third down on its own 3.
"Parseghian went for broke with his own strategy. Ara called for a suicide pass by (quarterback Tom) Clements and unheralded Robin Weber hauled it down on the Irish 39.
"Now the Irish merely had to run out the clock and restrain joyous Irishmen from running onto the field before the final gun sounded."
On Jan. 3, the Associated Press made it official, ranking Notre Dame No. 1, Parseghian's second career national championship. (Ohio State, which won the Rose Bowl, finished second. Oklahoma was third and Alabama fell to fourth.)
"It's beautiful," Parseghian said. "I want to enjoy this year for a while." Indeed, the victory was one of the sweetest of Parseghian's career and is still considered one of the greatest college bowl games ever. For the Crimson Tide, however, the 1973 Sugar Bowl defeat ranks as the most painful in the history of Alabama football.

Collected: Stories of Acquisition and Reclamation
More a thoroughfare between the institutional offices and educational spaces than destinations, the second and third floor galleries at the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) can be, at times, unforgiving display spaces. Nevertheless, as an institution, MoAD consistently presents exhibitions that expand one's notions of race and identity. One need only to look at last year's "African Continuum: Sacred Ceremonies and Rituals," which contrasts[…..]

"I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence,"— Frederick Douglass
Venerable African American scholar Douglass is offering an iconic counsel on the true measure of leadership that may not be popular, but one that is willing to tackle issues head-on even at the expense of their own fortunes.
Douglass went on to say, "A man's character always takes its hue, more or less, from the form and color of things about him."
I strongly urge that Detroit City Council candidate Charles Pugh to heed the wise words from a man whose work on the greater questions of justice and equality have helped to inform the Black struggle for more than a century.
In other words, Pugh should confront the elephant in the room and be bold about it and seeing it as a teachable moment for Detroit and the wider community.
Something is wrong if the candidate who espouses and exemplifies the struggle for gay rights is not willing to make it a campaign issue to liberate others who share the same sexual orientation but are afraid to come out publicly.
Despite the conspicuous silence on the campaign trail about the issue, the streets are talking and the conversations are taking place in living rooms as Pugh is set to become the first openly gay president of the Detroit City Council.
And when that happens, Detroit will make history.
In a barbershop style dialogue I had with a Detroit businessman who was adamantly but secretly opposed to Pugh's candidacy, I discovered a deep resentment among some about other people's sexual orientations.
Everyone should have the right to their sexual preference and we cannot legislate or try to impose on individuals what kinds of lives they ought to live.
The Bible-touting and cassock wearing men and women always say that Detroit is a God city because of its religious tradition, and not the number of churches that are on every street corner, some located near the tranquilizing liquor stores.
No one would dispute the strong religious tradition in Detroit that has for long spoken to the issues of economic and social justice for African Americans.
But we cannot also forget that this city ought to be a free society where there is tolerance regardless of whether we approve of the lifestyles of others or not.
If a particular religion dictates a certain kind of lifestyle/sexual choice for those who subscribe to that faith, it ought to be between that individual and their faith. That is why I believe that faith is a personal matter.
I keep my faith to myself.
I am not interested in dangling what church I go to or engaging in a verbal competition about the church that has the most enriching spiritual experience.
Faith is strictly a personal experience for me.
Likewise, Pugh should be judged on the merits of his campaign, his understanding of local government and whether that, in fact, translates into meaningful change, and not his sexual orientation.
But just like President Obama was forced to deal with race and racism at the Constitution Center in Philadelphia during the 2008 presidential campaign because of the Jeremiah Wright crucifixion, I believe Pugh, should have addressed the issue of homophobia and gay rights.
