South India
May 1946
The last of the straggling laborers hefted massive bundles of grain onto their weary heads and started down the path toward the storage shed. Only twelve-year-old Shridula remained in the field. Frantically she raced up and down the rows, searching through the maze of harvested wheat stalks.
Each time a group of women left, the girl tried to go with them, her nervous fear rising. Each time Dinkar stopped her. The first time she had tried to slip in with the old women at the end of the line the overseer ordered, "Shridula! Search for any water jars left in the fields." Of course she found none. She knew she wouldn't. What water boy would be fool enough to leave a jar behind?
By the time the girl finished her search, twilight shrouded the empty field in dark shadows. Shridula hurried to grab up the last bundle of grain. Its stalk tie had been knocked undone, and wheat spilled out across the ground. Quickly tucking the tie back together, Shridula struggled to balance the bundle up on her head. It shifted . . . and sagged . . . and sank down to her shoulders.
Shridula was not used to managing so unwieldy a head load. In truth, she wasn't used to working in the field at all. Her father made certain of that. This month was an exception, though, for it was the month of the first harvest. That meant everyone spent long days in the sweltering fields—including Shridula.
The girl, slight for her twelve years, possessed a haunting loveliness. Her black hair curled around her face in a most intriguing way that accented her piercing charcoal eyes. Stepping carefully, she picked her way out of the field and onto the path. Far up ahead, she could barely make out the form of the slowest woman. If she hurried, she still might be able to catch up with her. The thought of walking the path alone sent a shudder through the girl.
Shridula tried to hurry, but she could not. With each step, her awkward burden slipped further down toward her shoulders. She could hardly see through the stalks of grain that hung over her eyes.
"Please, allow me to lend you a hand."
Shridula caught her breath. How well she knew that voice! It was Master Landlord, Boban Joseph Varghese.
Afraid to lift her head, Shridula peeked out from under the mass of grain stalks. Master Landlord, fat and puffy-faced, stood on the other side of the thorn fence, ankle-deep in the stubbly remains of the wheat field. His old-man eyes fastened on her.
Shridula reached up with both hands and grabbed at the bundle on her head.
"Do not struggle with the load," Boban Joseph said, his voice as slippery-smooth as melted butter. "The women can retie it tomorrow. Let them carry it to the storehouse on their own worn-out old heads."
A shiver of dread ran through Shridula's thin body. She must be careful. Oh, she must be so very careful!
All day long, as fast as the women could carry bundles of grain from the fields, Ashish had gathered them up. He separated the bundles and propped the sheaves upright side by side in the storage shed. Everything must be done just right or the grain wouldn't dry properly. One after another after another after another, Ashish stacked the grain sheaves. By the time the last woman brought in the last bundle, by the time he stood the last of the sheaves upright, by the time he closed the shed door and squeezed the padlock shut, then kicked a rock against the door for good measure and headed back to his hut, the orange shards of sunset had already disappeared from the sky.
A welcoming glow from Zia's cooking fire beckoned to Ashish. He watched as his wife grabbed out a measure of spices and sprinkled them into the boiling rice pot. But this night something wasn't right. This night Zia worked alone.
"Where is Shridula?" Ashish asked his wife.
Zia bent low over the fire and gave the pot such a hard stir it almost tipped over.
"She has not yet returned from the fields," Zia said in a voice soft and even. But after so many years together, Ashish wasn't fooled.
The glow of firelight danced across Zia's features and cast the furrows of her brow into dark shadows. Ashish ran a gnarled hand over the deep crevices of his own aging face. He yanked up his mundu—his long, skirt-like garment—and pulled it high under his protruding ribs, untying the ends and retying them more tightly.
"She should not have to walk alone," he said. "I will go back." Ashish spoke with exaggerated nonchalance. He would remain calm for Zia's sake.
"All night!" Ashish said to his daughter when she came in at first light. He spoke in a low voice, but it hung heavy with rebuke. "Gone from your home the entire night!"
Overhead, Ashish's giant neem tree reached its branches out to offer welcome shelter from the early morning sun. Twenty-eight years earlier, on the day of his wedding, Ashish had planted that tree. Back then, it was no more than a struggling sprout. Yet even as he placed it in the ground, he had talked to Zia of the refreshing breezes that would one day rustle through its dark green leaves. He promised her showers of sweetly fragrant blossoms to carpet the barren packed dirt around their hut.
But no breeze pushed its way through this morning's sweltering stillness, and the relentless sun had long since scorched away the last of the white blossoms. Still, the tree was true to its promise. Its great leaves sheltered Ashish's distraught daughter from curious eyes.
Zia stared at the disheveled girl: sari torn, smudged face, wheat clinging to her untidy hair. Zia stared, but said nothing.
"Master Landlord told me I must go with him." Shridula trembled and her eyes filled with tears. "I said no, but he said I had to obey him because he owns me. Because he owns all of us, so we must all do whatever he says."
"Please, Daughter, stay away from Master Landlord," Ashish pleaded.
"I did, Appa!" Shridula struggled to fight back tears. "I dropped the bundle of grain off my head and ran away from him, just as you told me to. He tried to catch me, but I ran into the field and sneaked into the storage shed the way you showed me and hid there. All night, I hid in the wheat shocks."
"That new landlord!" Zia clucked her tongue and shook her head. "He is worse than the old one ever was!"
Zia reached over to brush the grain from her daughter's hair, but Shridula pushed her mother's hand away. Her dark eyes flashed with defiance. "Someday I will leave here!" she announced. "I will not stay a slave to the landlord!"
Boban Joseph was indeed worse than his father. Mammen Samuel Varghese had been an arrogant man, a heartless landowner with little mercy for the hapless Untouchables unfortunate enough to be caught up in his money-lending schemes.
Yet Mammen Samuel took great pride in his family's deep Christian roots—he could trace his ancestry all the way back to the first century and the Apostle Thomas. He also clung tightly to the fringes of Hinduism. The duality served him well. It promoted his status and power, yet it also fattened his purse. Even so, Mammen Samuel Varghese had not been a happy man. He seethed continually over the sea of wrongs committed against him, some real and others conjured up in his mind.
Still, it had always been Mammen Samuel's habit to think matters out thoroughly. In every situation, he first considered the circumstances in which he found himself, then measured each potential action and carefully weighed its consequence. It's what he had done when he lent Ashish's father the handful of rupees that led to his family's enslavement. Only after such consideration would Mammen Samuel make a decision. His son Boban Joseph did no such thing.
No, Young Master Landlord was not his father. During the years of Ashish's and Zia's childhood, Mammen Samuel Varghese maintained tight control over his house and his settlement of indebted slaves. But age did not wear well on him. And the greater Mammen Samuel's decline, the more wicked and cruel Boban Joseph became.
Soon after Ashish took Zia as his wife, the elder landlord began to release one responsibility after another to his first son. Boban Joseph eagerly snatched up each one. Soon Boban Joseph began to grasp control of matters behind his father's back—always for his own personal advantage. This greatly displeased Mammen Samuel. Even more, it worried him. Boban Joseph was his heir, but something had to be done to place controls around him.
As the season grew hotter and the harvest more demanding, Boban Joseph accepted the agreement reached between the laborers and his father requiring them to work a longer day—begin before dawn and continue until after dark. But he refused to honor his father's reciprocal agreement with the workers—to allow them to rest during the two hottest hours of the afternoon.
Only when a young man fell over and died of heatstroke while swinging his scythe, and the next day one of the best workers fell off his plow in exhaustion after begging in vain for shade and water, did Boban Joseph reluctantly agree to grant a midday break. "Only long enough for a cold meal out of the sun and not a minute more!" he instructed the overseer. (Since Boban Joseph spent his afternoons stretched out across the bed in the coolness of his own room, he never knew that Dinkar allowed the workers extra time in the shade.)
"Stay away from the fields today," Ashish told Shridula.
"But the harvest—"
"The harvest is not your worry, Daughter. Busy yourself with work here in the settlement. Make it your job to be of help to weary laborers."
"How can I do that?"
"Fill water jars for the women. Gather twigs and lay them beside the cold cooking pits."
Zia scowled at her husband. "It is not right that you stand the girl up in front of Master Landlord's revenge," she said. "He is a spiteful man. And brutal."
Ashish knew that. More than anyone, he knew it.
"Master Landlord knows Shridula is your daughter," Zia pleaded. "And he will never forget."
She was right, of course. For forty years, Boban Joseph had demonstrated a seething resentment toward Ashish's family. He clung tightly to his own family's humiliation that had been brought about when Ashish's parents, Virat and Latha, dared escape from Mammen Samuel's laborer settlement. Boban Joseph, then hardly more than a boy, greatly resented his father's timid response to their capture and return. He didn't hide his feelings; he let it be known to everyone that he considered his father's actions shameful and cowardly. Boban Joseph himself had captured the runaway slaves and dragged them back in bonds. Yet his father ignored his demands to have them killed. Mammen Samuel wouldn't even order a public flogging.
"You will stay here in the settlement today," Ashish told his daughter. "You will be a servant to the workers, not to the master." "Yes, Appa," Shridula said.
"But watch out for the landlord. Should he come around, run to the forest and hide yourself. And do not come out until I am back."
At midday, Boban Joseph pushed his way through the crowd of women unloading their head loads of grain and called out to Ashish, "Old man!" (Old man, he said, even though he was himself almost ten years older than Ashish!) "I do not see your daughter at work in the fields today. Where is she?"
Ashish turned his back to the landlord and untied another bundle. Paying Boban Joseph no mind, he separated the sheaves of grain. Long ago he had outlived his fear of the master.
"That girl of yours is nothing!" Boban Joseph spat at Ashish's back. "Nothing but a worthless, disgusting Untouchable."
With an expert hand, Ashish tossed three sheaves of wheat into the already-overflowing storage shed, then swung around and grabbed up the next one.
"A comely Untouchable, however," Boban Joseph added. "In a dark and dirty sort of way. Yet there are those who like such girls." Ashish's eyes flashed and his jaw clenched. The landlord laughed out loud, scornful and mocking.
Ashish stopped his work and straightened his painfully stiff back. The wheat sheaf slipped from his hands. Stepping back, he turned around to look the landowner full in the face. "The pale English lady is but one day's walk from here," Ashish said. "She has not forgotten me. Most certainly, she has not forgotten your father, or anyone in your family."
The smirk disappeared from the landlord's lips.
Always, wherever Shridula went, Boban Joseph's hungry eyes followed her. At one time, he had tried to force her to come up to the big house and work in his garden. There, from dawn to dusk, she would be always in his sight. Even more, she would be away from her father's protection. But Ashish would not allow it. And although he was but a lowly Untouchable, and although Boban Joseph was his owner, Ashish prevailed because of his well-worn threat of the pale English lady.
It infuriated Boban Joseph. What did he care about that worn-out old foreign woman? That an Untouchable slave— the son of runaways, no less—should get his way was an outrage. Ashish belonged to him! And so did the girl. But Boban Joseph's father had warned him not to press Ashish. "The British," Mammen Samuel had said darkly. "Stay away from anything that touches on their affairs."
Boban Joseph hissed to Ashish, "The time will come, Untouchable. The time will come."
As a child, Ashish always dreaded the hot season, not for the discomfort alone, but because the heat took away the refuge of his family's hut. He found it almost impossible to spend any time inside because the interior so quickly grew stifling. One might as well step into the cooking fire pit and sit down on simmering stones. In those days, no neem tree stretched out above the hut with shelter in its branches. His entire life, Ashish had longed for a place of refuge. For a safe haven. For a shady protection from the world.
The neem tree took root and grew quickly.
It had been early morning when Zia bore Ashish their first son. She tied the baby to her back and went to work in the fields the same as she did every other day. The child had grown big enough to run through the dirt and dribble water from a bowl onto the little tree by the time Zia bore their second son. When that one grew big enough to tag along after his brother and help water the tree's roots, Zia had their third boy. By the time he was of a size to scamper about in the dirt with his brothers, the neem tree reached high enough to provide a bit of shade from the sun for all of them.
At night, Ashish spread two sleeping mats outside under the spreading branches, one for him and one for Zia. The three little boys curled up around them, and the entire family slept soundly and securely.
The life-giving tree; that's what Indians called a neem. And that's what it was, too, because each part of the tree nurtured life and brought health to the family fortunate enough to live under the protection of its shade. The bark, the twigs, the blossoms, the leaves—every part of the tree enhanced life. Even the bitter fruit could be boiled into a healing medicine.
Most certainly it was a life-giving tree—except for the one time Ashish needed it most.

Prince William and his wife will get a swanky new London home.
William and the Duchess of Cambridge, who are based in remote Wales, have picked an apartment in historic Kensington Palace as their permanent London base, officials said Sunday.

U.S. & World
Plans are under way to transform the apartment — currently used for exhibitions and humble offices — to quarters fit for the newlyweds, said William's spokesman, Miguel Head.
The apartment they will live in was most recently inhabited by Queen Elizabeth II's younger sister, Princess Margaret, who lived there from the 1960s to 2002. Kensington Palace itself also was the residence of the late Princess Diana, William's mother, and the prince lived there with his brother Harry when he was younger.

William now lives with his wife, the former Kate Middleton, in a rented house in Anglesey, north Wales, where he works as a Royal Air Force search and rescue helicopter pilot. When the couple visit London they currently use another, smaller property at Kensington Palace as a temporary home.
Palace officials said they expect Prince Harry will move into that property once the couple moves to the new quarters.
They added that the couple will continue to divide their time between London and Wales after their new home in the capital becomes ready, which is expected to be in mid-2013.

Special to KyForward
The wet and unseasonably cool weather pattern lately seems more consistent with Derby week than the with the upcoming Fourth of July holiday.
Chris Hickey, black bass research biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, said the cool weather delayed the largemouth bass spawn a couple of weeks, but now everything is on schedule as we head into the heat of summer.
He said anglers report largemouth bass gathering on the channel ledges on Kentucky and Barkley lakes.
Summer fishing for largemouth bass frustrates many anglers, although anglers themselves are usually the source of the problem. The anglers often don't much change the presentation or places they fish from the spring season, although their summer catch often consists of a few small male "buck" bass.
Forget fishing the visible cover along the bank and instead concentrate on off-shore structures such as channel ledges, submerged islands, humps and long points to catch bass during the day in July and August. Map study of the underwater features reveals these fish-holding structures. Anglers should plan on probing several during a day of fishing.
"I look for three things for deep ledge fishing," said Ryan Oster, federal aid coordinator for the fisheries division of Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. "The first is the presence of bait, second is stumps and third is current. Mussel beds on the ledge are also a big help."
Oster, formerly western fisheries district biologist who helped manage Kentucky and Barkley lakes, prefers deep running crankbaits, 7- to 10-inch straight-tailed worms rigged on Shakey heads and heavy football jig and trailer combinations to fish ledges from 12- to- 25 feet deep on these lakes.
"I like the Sexy Shad color for clear water and the chartreuse Sexy Shad for stained water in my deep crankbaits," Oster said. "Typically, they want it raking across the bottom. On some days, they want a slow and steady retrieve and on others, they want it fast. Mix it up until they hit."
Boat positioning is important to keep these lures crawling on the bottom across those underwater ledges and humps. Some anglers use marker buoys to visualize the ledge or hump.
Slowly crawl a Shakey head rig along the bottom, stop it every few feet and shake the rod tip to wiggle the worm and entice bass. Anglers fishing jigs may also work the bottom, but many "stroke" a heavy football jig by ripping it off the bottom with their rod tip and letting the lure fall on a slack line. Trophy largemouths often hit the jig on the fall.
Use at least 1/2-ounce of weight to get down on the deep structure. Many opt for ¾-ounce or 1-ounce jigs. Shakey worms in green pumpkin, black or purple work well in deep water. Black jigs in combination with blue, purple, brown or chartreuse produce deep bass.
During the hottest times of the year, largemouth bass suspend over the ledge or hump and ignore lures worked on bottom. A swimbait works well for suspended bass.
Pearl-colored swimbaits with shades of gray, blue and light purple work well. Fish the swimbait just above bottom rigged on a 1/4-ounce or 3/8-ounce head as heavier heads deadens the lure's action. Oster prefers 5-inch swimbaits.
Points that extend well out into the lake are high percentage spots for summer largemouth bass. Jigs slowly crawled across the point in water 15- to 25-feet deep draws strikes. Points with stumps or chunk rock on them hold the most fish.
The best ledge fishing is on Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley and Barren River Lake. Most lakes across Kentucky have long extended points and many have underwater humps.
Get off the bank and catch huge bass on the hottest days.

Sovereign Liberty Belling
Unencumber – Vote out the incumbent
Individuals for Unencumberment by Unemployment for Incumbents
I for U by U for I
We can have Revolution – Bailey Savings and Loan Style
Not with riots, guns, fire or bombs or terror. But Peaceful Rightful Voting. I Swear it.
Just follow the Thought out. We have a power and a voice in our Vote. That voice and power has changed dramatically over the years in the actual way that it is represented and applied. The effect we see in the actual power and change of our vote has diminished so much that the majority of us have all but given up voting for things or parties. Both are bad, government is corrupt and nothing changes (except to get worse).
We may vote in local elections with conviction, or even state elections but Nationally?…we usually vote for someone to vote against someone else. It is a vote in distain or often we just abstain.
But I say that… Voting is still powerful. No, Voting Is Still Revolutionary.
We have a vast majority of the population that knows that the federal government is doing a very bad job and violating the Law. The lesser of two evils, 'doesn't matter anyway', is on every one's lips.
But it can matter. The congress and senate have one of the lowest approval ratings in history.
So We vote them out. Everyone of them.
The unregistered voter is the majority. The Alternative is the majority.
We have the alterantive.
If we all just don't vote for the incumbent someone else will win. Most of us can then vote our conscience (that candidate that didn't win the party or the third party) and send a very strong message.
'So…If we don't 'think' the job they are doing is just alright or if they are not looking out for our freedom, economy, security, independence, property and liberty, then we vote them out Right?'
No! We never vote incumbent.
Vote the incumbent out. Do it for as long as it takes.
We have the votes but the congress and the senate set up camp, have long histories and promises and deals and doesn't think of being booed out with incumbency return rates near 95%.
One term and then a break. Each representative held accountable for what was done while they served us in office. Someone new will be there to check and see every term.
There is no stronger message than everyone of them getting thrown out!! A polar shift, a politcial reversal check from one term service to the next. A tidal wave of a signal. New fresh feet not encumbered by 12, 24, 36 or more years in office. Breaking what has become the way of doing things. Long standing relationships with Lobbyists, Committees, Organizations, Unions, Corporations, Etc.
There shouldn't be special drawing rights on our congressmen and senators time, energy, pork, favors, minds and votes.
Long tenure leads to justifying policies, acts, expenditures, policies, treaties, orders, organizations, decisions and laws. Not being able to say this has been a complete failure and remove or reverse the law, policy, act or dissolve the organization, expenditure.
There is a build-up of plaque and bad legislation left to do harm while the symptom that is created becomes the new problem to be solved. And find an open and honest way to make sausage.
Un-Encumber Vote no On (Incumbent)
I am talking to the large block of us that is not registered and does not usually vote. I mean with The B&O Railroading, The 'Bush & Obama' Railroading, The Left & Right Railroading of this Nation what is the point in voting, right? Choose the monkey that scares me the least?
Vote now. Un-Encumber Vote out the Incumbent Stand up in unison non violently and redress our grievances.
There are such amazing ways to peacefully draw a line in the sand and say 'wait a second', in this nation. So many chances and so many outs written in to the law.
Un-Encumber Un-Incumbent
Especially on your county and state level. This is where you can be protected as a community from infringements against liberty. Get a Good Sherriff!
Vote all incumbents out This is the most lawful of acts. The good can come back after each break They will be that much more careful and checked They can serve once and come back to serve locally To rebuild local responsibility To really see what is 'going on at home' They to will be responsible for…
Voting out the next Incumbent! It will ignite the people in participation debate discussion The ability to dismantle the house of cards To know that there is a game and they are being played That Incumbents have made of our Federal Systems and National Socialism Security
Vote against the Incumbents power structures and restore value to what wealth we have left. Build a system that is constitutional Allow a system that is not wasteful Each new term will be an audit for the last Exposing years of secrets, corrupt agendas and truth Protect a system that treats the citizen as free and sovereign income bent?
vote out your incumbent Shuffle the deck until we find those that Protect our individual rights as sovereign human beings We are the People are the dealer We are supposed to stack the deck Never stick with the cards someone deals us Shuffle the deck Don't hold bad cards
Vote out incumbents Cheater will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law Truly hold our elected officials accountable To perform the duties and uphold the laws they have sworn to uphold. Coin our money out of gold and silver and of general commodity backing so it can't be abused in hidden taxes of inflation and fractal controlled, central economic goverence. Do not federally police the citizenry (With the exception of acts of Treason, Counterfeiting, Piracy on the High Seas) The power of policing the citizenry is persevered to local governance Do not criminalize free peaceful actions Remove ancient incumbent infringements against individual liberty The powers of the government are lent to it by us the citizenry Government only has the powers that we have to lend. We do not have the power to lend the Government the power to initiate force, coercion or fraud over any citizen in good standing You would think that it wouldn't have to be said but… We do not Assassinate of our citizens. We do not Torture. Starting… … … Now!
Vote Those incumbents out now! And point out the violators of Individuals rights As someone who wishes to control the freedom and sovereignty of others
Make it known Eternal Incumbency is Sheer Lunacy! Vote Away Incumbency See past The Left and The Right and truly see the man and woman standing to your left and your right You all have to safeguard each other We all raise each other up or hold each other down
Take it on locally make sure that your welfare is not a burden forced on them. Vote ourselves control of the system Vote ourselves freedom from the fear of the system. Vote ourselves the liberty to build and own and create value in our lifetime to pass it on to our children to our children's children
Remember always Incumbent = NO Vote the incumbents to go home Retain your right to your home. To not have someone make claim to your food, clothing, shelter and means of survival.
Vote away the incumbents failed and illegal measures, acts, wars, commissions, resolutions, taxes, bills, motions and committees Vote the power of the lobbyists away, the special interests, the pork, the grants, the no bid contracts, unfunded mandate, unapportioned norepresentation taxation
Vote away generations of law added to law, added to law to the point of something not even dreamed of in 'Duck Soup'
Vote away the incumbent entrenched agendas
Vote out the incumbent empires
Vote Incumbent free! It is safe It is peaceful It is Revolutionary It is the American thing to do It is what a sleeping giant looks like when it wakes up. It is time… To Defeat the Incumbent Empire Apologize and then… Create something beautiful and unique with what is now truly yours.

When I first heard word of the ZTE Fury from Sprint, I wasn't too excited about its name. Maybe Sprint was trying to convey intense excitement with "Fury," but I thought it sounded more like the carrier needed anger management. I was also skeptical of its low $19.99 price (after you send in a $50 mail-in rebate and sign a two-year service agreement), since 20 bucks usually doesn't get you very far.
Surprisingly, however, the device features a lot of goodies, including a Snapdragon CPU, Wi-Fi hot-spot functionality, and a decent 5-megapixel camera--all from something that costs the same price as half a tank of gas.
While almost anyone can use it, the Fury's inexpensive price makes the phone perfect for children. If the handset gets lost or damaged for example (curse those meddling kids!), at least it won't infuriate your wallet.
At 4.65 inches long, 2.46 inches wide, and 0.47 inch thick the ZTE Fury is petite. Still, although it weighs only 4.23 ounces, it feels pretty heavy in the hand at first. It fit comfortably in my jean pocket, though, and when I held it against my cheek or pinned it between my head and shoulder to talk, the weight of the device didn't bother me.
Aside from a thin chrome strip that runs along the edges and top, the phone is made from a gray, soft-coated plastic. I'm a fan of this material because it gives the handset a more luxurious feel than just plain plastic. Also, it doesn't trap fingerprints like other glossy surfaces.
On the bottom left side of the Fury is a Micro-USB port and above that is a volume rocker. Up top and dead center is a 3.5mm headphone jack. Next to that is the sleep/power button. On the right side of the device is a shortcut camera button. When you hold it down for a few seconds while the display is on and unlocked, the camera application will open.
The back of the phone is patterned with a concentric circle design made out of tiny polka dots. You can slightly feel these circles if you run your fingers across the back, but I wouldn't exactly call the phone "textured" since it feels very subtle.
At the top left corner of the back are an LED flash, a camera lens, and a tiny reflective square for vanity shots. Two small grid openings for the output speaker are located on the back down below. A small indent in the bottom center of the handset allows you to pop off the backing easily. Once it's removed, you can access the microSD card, which is expandable up to 32GB, and the 1,500mAh lithium ion battery. The Fury's 3.5-inch capacitive touch screen has a resolution of 320x480 pixels, and is made out of Corning Gorilla Glass. Above the display is a small metal accent for the in-ear speaker. An LED light is located below that. You can choose to have it blink on and off for notifications. Below the display are the four usual home, menu, back, and search buttons, which unfortunately do not light up when you touch them.
The screen was responsive and snappy. I didn't notice any lag when transitioning between apps, going back to the home screen, or texting with Swype (which the device is equipped with). However, sometimes the resolution wasn't so hot. I didn't really notice the problem until I opened the camera app and saw that menu items like "share, delete, and more" were fuzzy. In addition to that, default wallpaper images were grainy.
Fortunately, when I fussed with other apps, text looked better. Even words in Android Play, which features both sans-serif and notoriously hard-to-display serif fonts, did not look as blurry. YouTube videos played in HQ appeared pretty smooth, and graphics in Fruit Ninja, although a bit pixelated, looked even for the most part. Colors were bright and vibrant, as well.
The ZTE Fury runs on Sprint's 3G network and is powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
Since it operates on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, it's stocked with your standard number of Google apps: Google Books, Search, Plus, Latitude, Music, Maps with Navigation, Places, Talk, and YouTube. There are also two Sprint-specific apps. One is SprintZone, for checking your account online and staying updated with carrier promotions.
The other carrier app is Sprint ID, a customization feature that I don't love. You can tailor the phone's five home screens with certain preselected apps, widgets, ringtones, and other items depending on which ID profile you install. There are 42 available packs so far, and they cater to a number of interests like music (CMT and MTV have a Sprint ID pack), sports (ESPN, Fantasy Football), and even colleges like University of Notre Dame and UC Davis (go Aggies!)
Aside from the fact that the packs are just sort of ugly, deleting an ID package won't uninstall the apps that you've downloaded. Instead, you'll have to manually remove the apps. Also, you can't remove the Sprint ID app from the home screen's dashboard, so you'll just have to ignore it.

January 3, 2013
Even for many of us that eschew formal resolutions, the New Year is a time of reflection and commitment, an opportunity to assess where we are and where we want to go. I'm one of those folks — once again, I'm hoping to get to the gym on a regular basis, even though I wouldn't be so foolish as to formalize that aspiration!
For many of us, the New Year also brings fresh perspective to our careers and professional situation, though without some support and help, we risk losing focus during the months ahead. There are a few things you can do — right now — to keep yourself on course for the year.
First, take advantage of our PRSA member webinars. Pick a day each month and block out time during your lunch hour to watch a webinar of your choice from our extensive library of on-demand options.
Consider inviting a few colleagues to join you. You'll gain new ideas and outlooks that you can apply immediately, and we offer webinars on a wide variety of topics and at a variety of levels. (Go ahead, put it on your calendar now — I'm not kidding!)
Second, think about tuning up your career. Our Jobcenter is the Web's leading job board for PR professionals, and offers a wide range of helpful career resources. Have a specific question? Check out "Ask the Experts." And if you are looking for ongoing counsel, then connect with PRSA's College of Fellows, which has a program that provides mentors to our members.
Third, continue to learn from examples and raise the level of your work. Did you know that we have hundreds of case studies of award-winning programs available? Set a reminder on your calendar to browse the database once a month. You can quickly look through half a dozen case studies to gain new insights. Want to go deeper? Check out PRSA's PR Journal. In a recent edition, you'll find thoughtful analysis of BP's use of Twitter during the Deep Water Horizon Crisis, see how State Farm is using social media — and even discover how the film industry portrays PR practitioners.
Fourth, consider volunteering. There are volunteer opportunities throughout PRSA — with Chapters, at Districts, on Committees and on Task Forces. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, give back to the profession, expand your community and enhance your résumé. Depending on your area of interest, send an email to your PRSA representative today and see what awaits you.
Fifth, pass on your experience. PRSA is always looking for professionals who have a good story to share — one that others can learn from.
In fact, this month, we're starting the process of finding speakers for International Conference. Think about joining us in Philadelphia this year as a presenter.
And finally, if you aren't a regular, then go to a Chapter meeting. Last month, I had a great opportunity to stop by the New York Chapter's holiday party. Only as PR people often do, they rethought their entire concept during the weeks prior, and turned it into a benefit for victims of Superstorm Sandy. I had a chance to reconnect with Chapter leaders and friends, and was reminded of the strength and heart of the PRSA community. Before heading off to your next Chapter meeting, check out PRSA's PRServing America program, which encourages our Chapters to give back, in their own way, to their respective communities — just like the New York Chapter did.
Time for me to go — I'm heading to the gym. And while I'm doing that, you can take a look at your calendar, review our resources, and head in your own direction!

The Grammy Award-winning rapper's sentencing in a New York City gun case was postponed Tuesday until March 2. A judge says it won't be put off further.
The rapper, who has said that he has $150,000 worth of diamonds in his mouth, needs to finish a string of recent surgeries for "dental problems" before he goes to jail.
Lil Wayne pleaded guilty in October to attempted gun possession. His plea deal calls for a year in jail, though good behavior could shave that to as little as eight months.
"This is Lil Wayne going to jail. Nobody can tell me what that's like," the rapper told Rolling Stone magazine for its latest issue. "I just say I'm looking forward to it."
He's likely to start serving his sentence immediately, making him the latest in a string of rap stars to do time after topping the charts.
His plea deal calls for him to serve his sentence not in state prison but in the city jail system, where rapper Foxy Brown spent about eight months in 2007 and 2008 for a probation violation involving a fight she had with manicurists in a nail salon.
Rapper Remy Ma spent several months in a city jail in 2008 while awaiting sentencing for shooting a woman outside a nightclub. She's now serving an eight-year sentence in state prison.
City Department of Correction spokesman Stephen Morello wouldn't discuss any arrangements being made to house Lil Wayne among the roughly 13,500 inmates in the massive Rikers Island complex and other jails. Most inmates are awaiting trial.
Some inmates, including Foxy Brown, are separated from the general population because of their celebrity or other reasons, but "there's no special-inmates wing," Morello said.
Lil Wayne's attorney didn't return telephone calls seeking comment Monday.
Lil Wayne, 27, pleaded guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon, admitting he illegally had a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus in July 2007. Police found the weapon when they stopped the bus after a Manhattan concert.
A rapper since he was a teenager, Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Carter, became known for his voluminous output and collaborations with other artists.
His career has hit a peak in the last two years. His "Tha Carter III" led 2008 album sales with 2.8 million copies sold and featured such hits as the No. 1 smash "Lollipop." His Grammys include 2008's best rap solo performance award, for "A Milli."

Working Time and Minimum Wage Regulations
The working time and minimum wage regulations apply to nearly all businesses. The working time regulations are normally enforced by the Health and Safety Executive and the Minimum Wage regulations by HMRC and you need to keep records to show compliance with the regulations. There can be severe penalties for breach of the regulations.
The 48 hour working week
The starting point is that workers have a statutory right to a maximum average working week of 48 hours.
- The average is worked out over a 17 week reference period, with 26 weeks in some cases or 52 weeks by agreement and can be calculated on successive 17 week periods rather than a rolling basis if the worker agrees. Holiday and sickness need to be taken into account, so a worker cannot be expected to work double following a weeks holiday.
- Working hours include all time at the employer's disposal including training and being on standby. However lunch, travel to and from work and being free to do leisure activities while on standby do not count as working hours.
- The rules do not apply to the self-employed and a few other areas such as junior doctors and the police.
- The rules do apply to temporary workers.
- Workers can opt-out of the 48 hour limit by a written agreement but cannot be forced or pressured to do so.
Rest breaks and leave
Workers are entitled to...
- On every shift over six hours a minimum 20 minute break which in some circumstances can be accumulated but is increased to 30 minutes if under 18 and the period is more than four and a half hours.
- 11 hours (12 hours for under 18's) consecutive rest between shifts each day which again can be accumulated in some circumstances.
- One day off each week (2 days for under 18's) or two days off every fortnight which again can be accumulated in some circumstances.
- From 1 April 2009 5.6 weeks (28 days) paid annual holiday based on the workers average pay which can include bank and public holidays. These amounts accumulate pro-rata from the day they start working and is worked out on a pro-rata basis for part time employees. From 1 April 2009, payment in lieu cannot be provided for anything less than 5.6 weeks. The holiday pay must also be paid when the holiday is taken and not added to say an hourly rate when work is done.
- There are special rules for night workers who regularly work at least 3 hours during the night which is a period of at least 7 hours including from midnight to 5am and usually from 11pm to 6am. They should not exceed eight hours in each 24 hour period averaged over 17 weeks although if the work involves special hazards or physical or mental strain this is the case in every 24 hour period.
The National Minimum Wage
The national minimum wage affects all businesses without exception.
- 1. Nearly all workers including temporary workers aged 18 and over are entitled to the minimum wage. For 2017 it is £7.50 an hour for those ages 25 and over, £7.05 an hour for those aged 21 to 24. For those aged 18 to 20 the limit is £5.60. For those aged 16 and 17 the rate is £4.05. The apprentice rate is £3.35 for apprentices under 19 or 19 or over and in the first year of their apprenticeship. From April 2018, the rates are set to rise as follows:
- 25 and over: £7.83
- 21 to 24: £7.38
- 18 to 20: £5.90
- under 18: £4.20
- apprentice rate: £3.70

"America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh said the public was instrumental in leading authorities to a possible suspect in the murder of Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen.
"I think the key to this whole case is the tipster. I call him a hero," Walsh told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover when he called into to Access Hollywood Live on Thursday.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: In Memoriam: The Stars We Lost In 2010
U.S. & World
The Chasen case was first profiled on the FOX crime series on November 20.
"We thought that [the tipster] was very, very serious, he was very compassionate and we turned the tip over immediately to the Beverly Hills PD," Walsh said. "We took him very seriously, he was dead on."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Celebs Who Give Back
On Wednesday, Beverly Hills police said they belived that Chasen's death was a "robbery gone bad" committed by Harold Martin Smith. Police Chief David Snowden said the gun Smith used to commit suicide earlier this month appeared to be the same weapon used to kill Chasen on November 16.
"I really, really hope this is the end of it for Ronni Chasen's family," Walsh continued. "I think that this was probably a random robbery that went bad and I think people in Beverly Hills and the LA area can take a big sigh of relief that a dangerous violent guy isn't out there.
"Again, the public made a difference. I do believe that there are people out there that can make a difference," Walsh added.

Police also said on Wednesday that the tipster might be eligible for a 5,000 reward. Authorities also stressed that the Chasen investigation is still ongoing.

More than 260 years of Villeroy & Boch's history are brought to life inside the Old Abbey in Mettlach, the magnificent baroque building where the company has its headquarters. The discovery centre features scenes of days gone by in the Keravision exhibition, 21st century tableware, the Ceramics Museum and the historical museum café dating back to 1892. Perfect for a memorable day out. The museum café is decorated from floor to ceiling with over 15,000 hand-crafted tiles modelled on the 19th-century originals.
It is a little-known fact that Hessen has the biggest variety of traditional costumes ( trachten ) of any region in Germany. The attire worn by unmarried women of the Schwalm region was made famous by the Brothers Grimm fairytale Little Red Riding Hood. The annual Hessentag festival in June is one of the best times to see all the many different styles of this traditional dress. Many groups keep this ancient custom alive by wearing their tracht to special events, and some older women still wear the Schwalm tracht every day.
Rostock-based basket-maker to the royal court, Wilhelm Bartelmann, is said to have invented the wicker beach chair in the 19th century. These distinctive recliners have hardly changed since and are still made by hand to this day. Seen on nearly every beach on Germany's North Sea and Baltic coastlines, the chairs offer comfort and shelter from the sun and wind. Slightly less comfortable, but great fun nonetheless, is the tradition of beach-chair racing, which takes place in Zinnowitz on the Baltic island of Usedom during the winter beach chair festival. Teams of two carry the chairs, which weigh 60 kilos a piece, 20 metres to the finishing line of the track.
Embroidery is a celebrated art form in the Spree Forest. Colourful patterns are sewn into traditional Sorbian costumes one stitch at a time. Learn about the techniques at the Trachtenstickerei embroidery workshop in Burg and discover just how much patience is needed to produce these colourful garments. The traditional Sorbian costume, Sorbian dolls and small keepsakes are all produced by hand here. The embroidering machine is used to produce wall hangings, pictures and, on request, monograms too.
Elaborately embroidered head scarves and colourful skirts are the hallmark of the traditional Sorbian tracht , still worn on high days and holidays by women in the Spree Forest. Every colour is symbolic in meaning: unmarried women wear red skirts, married women wear green. Black skirts are worn to church. The different styles of bonnet represent the village the woman comes from. Recently, female designers have taken inspiration from this traditional dress and created their own modern interpretations for both men and women.
The Sorbian people have played a large part in shaping the culture and history of Upper Lusatia. Despite being Europe's smallest Slavic minority, the Sorbs continue to make their mark on the region and its annual festivities through their culture, customs and way of life. Throughout the year, there are lots of opportunities to experience their customs and traditions. For special occasions such as Easter, traditional costumes are worn across the different areas where the Sorbian people live.
Where better than Hamburg for a maritime museum? It is impossible to imagine this Hanseatic city without its seafaring heritage, and the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg is a must for anyone interested in ships and life at sea. Housed in Kaispeicher B, a historical docklands warehouse in the Speicherstadt district, the exhibition tells the story of explorers, conquerors, captains and sailors, taking you on a journey through 3,000 years of human history.
The city of Halle (Saale) owes its origins to its wealth of saline springs. In 1491 the city's saltworkers, known as the Hallors, joined together to form a brotherhood. Its members preserve the history and traditions of their forefathers to this day. In the saltworks and salt-panning museum (Salinemuseum), the Hallors still produce salt the old-fashioned way. Visitors have the chance to watch them at work on a number of select dates in the year.

Romelu Lukaku concentrating on finishing season with West Brom
Romelu Lukaku remained coy on his immediate future when quizzed about whether he would be heading back to Chelsea.
By Graeme Bailey - Tweet me: @graemebailey
Last Updated: 20/03/13 10:48am
Lukaku has sparkled during his current loan spell at West Bromwich Albion, which has thus far seen him bag 13 goals from 25 league appearances.
But asked whether he would be definitely back at Chelsea in the summer, he admitted he would be waiting until the end of the season.
"I am just waiting until the end of season, I am just performing for West Brom at the moment we will see what will happen and I don't want to talk about it either," he said.
Fellow Belgian Christian Benteke has also had a glittering campaign during his first season with Aston Villa and Lukaku hopes his progression continues, perhaps with a move to a 'big' club.
"I think, I hope Christian will make a move to a big club so he can improve his game as well," he said.
"This will be also important for the national team, like I want to go back to my parent club in the future - but we are doing well and I hope it will continue."
Lukaku also spoke about Frank Lampard, and insisted he would love to see him stay at Chelsea - given how much he learned from the midfielder during his time there last season.
"He was one of the guys who helped me a lot and he introduced me to training and I am really grateful to him and really happy," he said.
"He is very important and one of the key players and hopefully he gets an extension."

Now, I know you all know about media bias – but here is a new take on this topic. Did anyone see the Alfred E. Smith Charity dinner? Well, I watched it four times on "Hannity and (the other one)" and "One the Record" on FOX. Of course I have to watch FOX because it – while almost a cliché, but rather true is most Fair and Balanced. To my point. While Mac was by far, BY FAR the candidate with more personality, humility, and respectability of the two candidates making their "comedic debut" it was Obama who was frequently looking back at Katie freaking Couric and Brian what's his crooked faces name to see if they were laughing during McCain's speech. It was his to me like Obama was seeking their approval to laugh or not. She swallowed her wine and fumbled with a napkin while John McCain was talking about Joe the Plumber. When Katie and Brian didn't laugh – Obama wasn't. Seriously. I cannot make this up…watch it again online. I'm guessing they weren't laughing at McCain's hysterical (where has that comfortable comedy been at the debates?) because J.M. is finally getting traction on redistribution of wealth to those that don't even pay taxes thanks to Joe.
(Quotes come from watching the event and typing now)When John McCain was finished with his speech Katie (couldn't see Brian) gave him some decent clapping after McCain roundly outdid Obama on quips, comedy, and candid issues in a humorous way. Obama's lackluster sometimes moderately funny: "my middle name is not what you think. Its actually Steve…Barrack(?) Steve Obama." No it is Hussein – and you're right most of us never thought the majority of Americans would ever be dumb enough to vote for a guy like you. Another line: "I punched paparazzi in the face. I'm serious it was really embarrassing. I spilled my chi latte all over my shitzue" Oh you are so funny Obama. How do you do it with your 'Superman' like powers of eloquence?So when Obama was done with his speech, how did Katie Couric take his speech? She was gushing. GUSHING people! I cannot get the image out of my head. She had this proud smile on her face like her mentally challenged son had just won the spelling bee. I swear she was about to cry. Speaking of crying, I truly believe that Obama was about to tear up when Mac was giving Obama his due. Maybe it was just that Obama was so proud of himself for being the only (half) African American in the 60 or so on display for the cameras in white tie. I don't know. I cannot profess to be inside that man's head. But what I can tell you from what I saw several times. CBS and NBC appeared to have a serious love fest with Obama.
If I was Michelle Obama, I'd not let my man do any interviews with that chica on CBS anytime soon.
"Is FOX news considered the media?" Obama asks. Senator Government, uh, Obama – FOX news is the only media that can be counted on to at least give both sides. You're just not used to being called on your BS by anyone on the television. You have gotten thus far a free ride. I fear that because the other television media did not do their job you will be the 44th President of the U.S. … however frightening that prospect is to me.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Great Job!
I just ran across this post and must say excellent tutorial Gentry.
I have a bunch of EP fibers here & never have done much with them other than fussed around with them. This post is inspiration to get off my butt & back to the tying bench.
EP Step by Step Part 3
STEP 11 Take the finished fly from the vice, lay it on a flat surface, and give both sides of the fly a real good brushing through until you are satisfied that the two major colours blend in nicely with each other, rather than show as a distinct line along the colour change area.
STEP 12 Trimming to shape:- Your fly will now look something like this, nothing at all like it is supposed to, so now you will need to trim it into shape. A sharp pair of scissors is a must for this purpose, and I also have a little trick, oft scoffed at and much maligned, but which is really very useful in helping to trim such flies to shape quickly and easily. The sparser the tying the more useful an aid it is.
You may laugh, but here we go...... Take your fly, and either put it back in the vice, or hold it with the aid of a pair of hackle pliers, and give it a real good spray all over with womens hair laquer!! Smooth the fly out a little if necessary after applying the laquer, and leave for a few minutes in the vice or hackle pliers to dry out.
When dry, the fibres will be as stiff as a board. It is then a simple matter to trim to the desired shape with a sharp pair of scissors (this one took me less than 30 seconds to get to shape)
If you want to add some stripes or other markings with the aid of a permanent marker pen, now is the time to do it, whilst the fly is still stiff, and the same goes for the addition of the eyes.
STEP 13 Adding the Eyes:- You may add eyes in any manner you wish, but I prefer to use EP eyes, which avoids the necessity of any epoxying or applying other such like applications to the fibres and over the eyes to stop them falling off.
Having said this, you will need either a Cauteriser or a fine tipped Soldering Iron, as you need to burn a little hole in the fibres right through so as it exposes the hook shank within. (See picture above) This is more easily achievable with a Cauteriser for you can control the heat emitted from the point, but a fine point soldering iron will do the job OK.
Take an EP eye, and cut the stem off, being careful not to cut it flush to the eye, as you need to leave just a tiny bit of stem still attaching to the back of the eye. Fill the hole you have just made with super glue gel (Please do not try this with ordinary super glue as you will get into a right mess, and probably ruin the fly) and carefully place the eye, with the little stub left at the back, within the hole. Gently press this down against the hook shank, where it will bond. Repeat the process on the other side of the fly, and you are done.
Whew!!....As usual I have gone a bit OTT with this SBS and have made it sound a lot more difficult than it really is to tie this style of fly, and I can assure you, it is probably more difficult to make EP fibres behave themselves in the packets and hanks than it is to tie flies with them! With with a little bit of practise you will be able to knock the tying sequence out on the smaller flies as above, in about 5 minutes.
There are countless combinations of colours and profile styles that you can tie with EP, and you can even tie them with the body all on top of the hookshank, and in wide bodied or slim bodied profiles, in lengths from about 1.5" right up to 10".
When tying flies any larger than the one illustrated, you will need to adjust your tying sequences accordingly, and add a couple of mid ties, and maybe increase the ratio of lo-ties to high-ties slightly. It may also be advisable on the larger flies, to secure the tie down points with a bit of head cement each time.
Despite what some may tell you, these flies are very popular and catch everything that swims, and despite the fact I may have made the tying sound complicated, it is anything but, so it is well worthwhile carrying a few different colours and styles in your box. I have never fished the salt in the UK, but I am sure you can adapt them to work over here.
Finally, I apologise for the inconsistency of the pictures, for as you can tell, I am no great shakes as a photographer

EP Step by Step Part 2
STEPS 5 & 6 Now is the time to add some flash material of your choice. Whatever you use, don't overdo it with the flash material (Here I have used a little pearl blue lite brite) and give it the brush in treatment. To avoid the thread which is securing all of the ties becoming too bulky, the next hi-tie, is just tied on top of the hook, without any length being folded back. This will then leave the tying thread which by now will be begining to bulk up, almost level with the hook shank again. Oh, and don't forget the brush or comb treatment.
STEP 7 Once you have reached around the halfway point along the hook shank, you need to bulk the fly up just a little, in order that it will not collapse when being fished. To do this, cut a slightly thicker clump of Pinfish fibres from the hank, but don't overdo it. Now rather than tying in as previously described in steps 2 & 3, make the back facing length considerable shorter, and then the folded back length a good bit longer, but still a little shorter than the tie in step 6. Brush /Comb to blend.
STEP 8 Repeat step 5 adding another two lengths of Baitfish Belly fibres, making sure, they are shorter than those you attached in step 5. Now is the time to add a little more flash if desired. Brush /Comb to blend.
STEP 9 Continue adding ever shortening hi-ties of Pinfish fibres until you reach a point about 3/16" from the hook eye, at the same time making sure that the hi-ties, low-ties, are roughly even, at this final tie down point.
STEP 10 The mid-ties:- In order to achieve a blending between the two colours thus far utilised, you now need to complete the tying sequence with a couple of mid ties of contrasting colours, and in this sequence I have used Hot Pink and Lavender. The first picture shows I have also added another low-tie of Baitfish Belly to even the top and bottom tyings up, in addition to which I have tied a length of no more than half a dozen hot pink EP fibres to the side of the hook. Lay these fibres along the whole of the dressing, and trim to a length just short of the end of the dressed fly. Repeat this on the other side of the hook, and then add a thicker length of Lavender EP Fibres directly over the top of the Hot Pink tyings, and trim so as they are around 2/3rds of the full body length of the fly.
This completes the actual tying sequence, so you should now finish off with a few turns of tying thread to build a neat slim head. Whip finish and you can then either apply a coat of Loon Hard Head or similar, or if you are fussy like me, before doing so you can colour the very top of the head with a non-permanent marker pen of an appropriate shade, wet your fingers, and blend the ink down the sides of the head. This is totally unnecessary I know, but having gone to great lengths to ensure the materials are blended nicely, it doesn't seem right to me to finish with a head of just one colour, and it only takes a couple of seconds anyway.
EP Step by Step Part 1
My apologies for posting up an unacceptable link, and having had a couple of PM's enquiring about the step by step, i thought it might be useful to copy and post it here.
I have copied it in its entirety so some of the introduction may not quite make sense, with regard the original context of this thread, nevertheless it should give you an idea of one way of tying EP Baitfish flies such as the Peanut Butter series.
EP Fibres are actually very easy to tie with and blend superbly with a bit of brushing. To be effective as a fly however the proportions need to be right, and most tiers when first trying out EP tend to over dress the fly somewhat. A good tip I read some time ago was, that when placing your fingers behind the fly at the tail end, you should be able to see them quite clearly when looking through the materials.
If bulk in a fly is required, this can be achieved by gradually increasing the thickness of each length of fibres tied in, and also by utilising a couple of mid ties towards the shoulder of the pattern being tied.
I agree that there seems to be no in between as far as fly fishers are concerned when it comes to EP fibres, and you either love 'em or hate 'em. Whatever, there is no denying that flies tied with EP account for a lot of fish, however, there does seem to be a lack of instruction with regard to tying well proportioned bait fish with the stuff, and perhaps this is what puts off some from using it.
If it is of any help, below is a SBS, I put up on a couple of forums over here in the UK some time ago, following several posts about EP, and I apologise in advance for its length (which needs 3 posts due to the number of photos) and hope that it doesn't become too boring, as it was written up for the UK, where the number of tiers familiar with some of the techniques required for SW flies is pretty limited, mainly because we have nothing in the sea to fish for over here!!!
Step by Step
Hook:- Gamakatsu SC15 or any short shank wide gape hook 1 up to 6/0
Thread:- 8/0 white.
Materials:- EP fibre or EP3D fibres, the colours of your choice & Flash, again of your choice.
Eyes:- EP Eyes 7mm Pearl Blue or colour of your choice
For this pattern I have used an SC15 size 2/0 and EP3D fibres in Baitfish Belly, Pinfish, and EP Fibres in Hot Pink, Lavender & Red ......You could if you wanted to use all white/polar or baitfish belly, and colour with marker pens, although you will not get as good a blending effect.
STEP1 put a small layer of thread about 3/4 the way down the hook shank, and attach a small amount of Red EP fibres on the underside of the shank, double this back, secure with a few layers of tying thread, and trim the fibres so both ends are even. This will represent the gills.
STEP 2, Separate a thin length of EP 3D Baitfish Belly fibres from the main hank (Never try to cut anything less than a full length of fibres from the main hank, you will finish up with an awful and unworkable hank if you do) Secure the whole length to the top of the hook with a little more than you want the overall length of the fly to finish up as, protruding as a tail, and the remainder of the fibres pointing towards the eye of the hook. Now fold the length of fibres facing towards the eye of the hook back over itself to lay level with the material facing away from the hook, and secure with a few layers of thread. Trim this top length of fibres so it is a little shorter than the length underneath and with the aid of a small brush or comb, blend the two lengths together.
STEP 3 Taking a thin length of EP 3D Pinfish fibres, repeat exactly step two, making sure each length of fibre is slightly shorter than the length of the one directly underneath it. Brush or comb until all the fibres blend together.
STEP 4 Cut a thin length of Baitfish Belly fibres from the hank, and secure to the underside of the hook shank making sure that the length is shorter than the original tail tied in. Trim off the remainder of the forward facing fibres, turn the hook over, and secure another length of fibres in the same position on the opposite side of the hook, making sure that both tyings are of equal length. Now brush or comb through all of the tyings thus far, until they blend together.
Only just seen this post, and whilst you might have since found a detailed Step by Step,
below is a link to a tying i put up on The completefisher and stripers on line forums some while back.
If you haven't already sorted it out, hope this helps

I had warched Enrico tie his flies a number of times and his instructions are hard to find. You can try his web site or simply try a Google and it maybe on other sites. He applies the material in 1/8 inch to 1/4 wide strips about two to three inches long ...along the hook shank...then combs them to blend. He has a velcro patch stuck to the vise pedestle and lines up the cut strips to the velcro to keep them together and pulls them off for each application.... working from the hook bend then forward. This is different than the way Mike Martinek applies simmilar material (not EP fibers)...he bunches the material in his hands, tears them a couple times and applies them from back to front... then combs out also.
EP Flies
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for books or DVDs or even websites that give detailed instructions for tying the EP series of flies.

Hell everyone! I've tried using the search button with no results for this.
Currently, I have been a dota plus sub since its beginning, though there has been a recurrent issue where the watch friend's live game option doesn't simply appear for anyone, sometimes it appear for 1 or 2 persons randomly, but most likely I must observe the game with the standard delay.
Is this already reported? or is just that people can disable whether you can watch them live or not?
