While on vacation in Texas in 2005, Michelle Sack and her husband, Michael, were sleeping when Michael's dog came over and nudged Michelle awake.
She thought at first that the dog needed to go outside, but then Gibson, a golden retriever lab mix, went to Michael's side and began to whimper. It was then that Michelle knew something was wrong. Gibson was alerting her to the fact that her husband was having a medical problem and breathing very shallowly. Michael was rushed to the hospital.
"If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be alive," Michael said.
Gibson looked after Michael that night. It's what he was trained as a puppy to do.
Gibson was raised and trained as a Canine Companions for Independence service dog.
The dogs are not trained to save lives, necessarily, but to assist adults and children with disabilities by performing everyday tasks.
For 10 years, Gibson has been opening doors for Michael, helping him get things such as shoes and other items and other tasks that Michael might have trouble with due to a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
Canine Companions for Independence spokesman John Bentzinger said the national headquarters for the nonprofit organization is in California, and there are five regional locations. The organization breeds Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers and a cross of the two. The puppies are sent to live with what they call puppy raisers from the age of 8 weeks to 18 months. The volunteer puppy raisers do not train the dogs but socialize them.
The dogs then are sent back to the organization for six months of training where they learn more than 50 commands, including turning on and off light switches and picking up dropped items. Bentzinger said the dogs are trained to pick up items as small as a dime.
Four times a year, groups who are on a waiting list to receive a dog come to one of the regional facilities where they are matched with a dog. The people with disabilities spend two weeks training at the facility, and by the end of the two weeks they are matched with a dog that is suitable for them.
Michael said when he was matched with Gibson in Medford, N.Y., "He came over and laid his head in my lap, and that was all she wrote." The two have been best friends ever since.
"He's a spoiled nut, really," Michael said.
Gibson, when wearing his service dog vest, could essentially go anywhere Michael could go. The two met some resistance along the way from stores that weren't too keen on allowing dogs in their business.
Michael said Gibson knew that when his vest was on, he was on duty.
The few times Michael has been hospitalized due to an illness or complication, Gibson, unable to be with Michael, would appear worried and pace about the house.
Michael said once, when he was taken out of the intensive care unit and in an area where Gibson could be, he could hear Gibson's nails on the floor anxiously making his way to him. Michael said Gibson was so happy to see him that it looked as if there was a big smile on the dog's face.
"He has been a big help for Mike," Michelle said.
When Michael is in any sort of trouble, Gibson is trained to bark continuously.
Michael said his family and neighbors know that if Gibson starts barking, something is wrong.
Gibson also can go and get Michelle if Michael needs her, and she is in another room.
Gibson didn't just steal the hearts of the Sack family but just about everyone he came in contact with.
The Waldorf Animal Clinic had a retirement party Saturday for Gibson.
Michael said Gibson, 12, is getting older and can no longer comfortably perform the tasks that once came easily to him. He will stay with the Sack family but only as a pet.
At his retirement party, Gibson was given his first-ever hamburger, fed to him by Michelle and his veterinarian, Jeff Phillips.
Hosting the party at the clinic was "the least we could do for him. Our whole staff loves this dog," Phillips said.
He said Gibson could not come into the clinic for routine checkups or grooming without first stopping to say hello to everyone working that day.
Phillips said Gibson demonstrated some of the things dogs are capable of, "things you wouldn't think about and most people take for granted."
Michael said while working as a service dog, Gibson was on a strict diet. Retired now, he can have various dog treats he wasn't allowed before and the occasional human food, but Michael said he would prefer he not eat too much that is not good for him. One thing he will continue to get, and had as treats while he worked, are carrots.
Lying in front of Michael's wheelchair after previously soaking up as many hugs as possible from guests, Gibson looked around the room as stories were told about him and guests at the retirement party learned a little more about the program.
Michael said in retirement Gibson still would help him out but would lose his public certification and not be admitted in areas where pets are prohibited.
Michael plans to sign up for another service dog, known as a successor dog. The process could take about two years.

Buy it! You won't regret it!

HEAD Racquetsports continues its legacy of innovation with the 2007 launch of the Metallix series for Squash, incorporating Metallix technology – one of the lightest and strongest new materials on the market. The new racquets will launch in spring 2007 along with a new range of squash equipment that will include bags, balls, indoor footwear and accessories.
HEAD Metallix is one of the lightest and strongest new materials made today, giving players a lighter, stronger and more powerful racquet. It consists of a specially-designed matrix of carbon fibers and a crystalline metal alloy that has a grain size 1,000 times smaller than that of a typical metal. The decreased grain size translates to an increase in strength.
"Through the application of HEAD's latest game-improving technology, these exciting new racquets offer players the best performance on-court with power that cannot be chained down," said Robert Marte, Division Manager, HEAD Racquetsports.
HEAD will introduce four racquets as part of the Metallix series this summer: The Metallix 160 is the choice of world No. 2 player* David Palmer and the Metallix 140 is the choice of top seeded sisters Natalie and Rachel Grinham. The Metallix 130 offers the most power in the line and the Metallix 150 rounds out the series with great maneuverability and control. The HEAD Metallix Series will be the stiffest, most powerful, high-performance squash racquet line.
"The new collection for 2007 has surpassed even my expectations of what a racquet should be and I am sure that it will be as well received by the squash community," said two-time world squash champion** Palmer.

Crowdfunding For Animation/Comics Projects!
By now many of you are aware of what Crowdfunding is. It's been a real boon to small entrepreneurs who petitioned fans to donate money to get their projects off the ground or completed.
I was around at the beginning of this and as I've said for years now, your fans are your greatest asset, literally. A single cartoonist with 5,000 fans can make a great income by keeping those fans with affordable products on a regular basis.
I was finishing up a small ebooklet about Crowdfunding when the latest news from Washington came in regarding a bill introduced that will make it far more easier to get funding and far more of it! This is like a dream come true!
So read the link above regarding this bill and get ready for some big fun to come!
Charles, this should be a great way for you to get funding for your projects and your students.
Re: Crowdfunding For Animation/Comics Projects!
Great news Greg. Thanks for the info. I don't see the link. Would you mind re-posting it please.
Re: Crowdfunding For Animation/Comics Projects!
Sorry bout that Charles. This link should work. Here's the video:
Re: Crowdfunding For Animation/Comics Projects!
The Entrepreneur Access to Capital Act (H.R. 2930).
Thanks again Greg. Posted the topic on AN's homepage for this date so more people can learn about it.
Here's a list of crowdfunding sites that folks can research and use for their own purposes.
Re: Crowdfunding For Animation/Comics Projects!
Excellent Charles!
With this new bill, once it becomes law, it will allow communities and churches to offer their own Crowdfunding services.
I had written a small ebook on Crowdfunding strategies and this turn in the law is just perfect.
The old boy network is falling apart now. Artists, musicians, and other creatives can reach global audiences without going to mainstream distributors. Now it will be a true test of the best work reaching the public and letting the public decide.
Re: Crowdfunding For Animation/Comics Projects!
It's that and more Greg.
The website states...
The Entrepreneur Access to Capital Act (H.R. 2930) was introduced to foster relationships between investors and entrepreneurs. Specifically, it permits crowdfunding issuances that offer an equity stake (securities) to investors.
That means that entrepreneurs will be able to take their projects and perhaps even their companies directly to the public to raise funds. In essence, they'll be able to sell stock in their ventures just like they would in a private offering.
It has big ramifications. It's taking Wall Street to the people and could give a whole new meaning to the sale of securities.
If this bill passes it will be an extraordinary thing. This has great potential.
Very significant and beneficial. I hope it goes forward and becomes law.

Got a good idea? Kickstarter 'crowd-funding' helps raise start-up money
By Rachel Bass
Dec 22, 2011
Somewhere in your Inbox between the unopened e-mails about unicorns and angels that your mom forwarded, and the Facebook friend request from that neighbor down the hall that you've intentionally ignored, is likely an e-mail from a friend or relative about a website called Kickstarter. Maybe you've heard about it in passing. Maybe you've come across it on the Internet. But what exactly is Kickstarter?
Founded in April 2009 by Perry Chen, Yancey Strickler and Charles Adler, Kickstarter is the largest online fundraising platform. Using a model called "crowd-funding," Kickstarter encourages filmmakers, musicians, designers, writers and other creative artists to bring their ideas to life by posting projects on the site.
Users then set "rewards" that family, friends and visitors to the site will get for donating any amount of money to a specific project. The artists have the freedom to set the fundraising goal and the length of time they think they'll need to raise the money. If a project reaches its goal in the set timeframe, the artists receive the funding. If a project doesn't reach its goal, backers keep their money. Kickstarter takes 5 percent of the funds raised, while Amazon, which authorizes all payments, takes 3 to 5 percent.
Kickstarter says nearly half of the projects posted on their website have been fully funded. A million people have donated more than $100 million to support the diverse array of ideas, which range from tech gadgets to art, dance, food and music.
Every seven seconds someone is tweeting about Kickstarter – so if they haven't asked you yet, there's a very good chance you'll be the next potential donor asked to give.
Editor's note: Kate Snow's full report about Kickstarter, "Kick Off," airs Monday, December 26, at 10pm/9c on NBC's Rock Center with Brian Williams.

There seems to be a lack of clarity and creativity in Washington on how to keep our children safe. I hear the same tired routine of the causes of our public suffering on account of our innocent children: we need stricter gun laws, more mental health care, more security in schools, crackdowns on video game violence.
It's very interesting that all these avenues of safety share one thing in common: They will increase power and money to our government.
Here are a few more solutions I'd like to add to the pot, which would actually save taxpayers money.
1. Stop killing children in US drone strikes around the world. It sets a bad example.
2. Start compiling Federal data on missing children.
"The problem is that nobody really knows for sure, since the FBI - America's compiler of crime statistics - doesn't bother to keep track. As Ted Gunderson, former FBI station chief for Los Angeles, has stated: "The FBI has an accurate count on the number of automobiles stolen every year. It knows the number of homicides, rapes and robberies, but the FBI has no idea of the number of children that disappear every year. They simply do not ask for the statistics.
3. Crack down on child pornography rings and the pedophiles using and running them.
"Author and e-zine editor Robert Sterling has written of what he refers to as "a pattern of trivialization of child molestation evidence" that seems to characterize high-profile media stories. He points out, for instance, that in the highly publicized Woody Allen and Mia Farrow child custody case, all the attention was focused on Allen's illicit romance with Soon-yi Previn."
4. Take accusations of child abuse seriously.
"Also noted is the kid-gloves treatment afforded Michael Jackson when he was charged with molestation: "even though the accusations against him are widely believed to be true, [they] are merely passed off with a laugh among other smirking monologue jokes on Jay Leno." And of course, though unmentioned by Sterling, sister LaToya was ridiculed by the media when she came forward with stories about the sexual abuse suffered by the Jackson kids at the hands of their father."
5. Stop the "Conspiracy of Silence".
"Just days before its scheduled airing, the film was pulled without explanation and all copies were ordered destroyed. At least one production copy of the video survived the purge, however, and has been known to circulate among those derisively labeled as 'conspiracy theorists.' For everyone else, the conspiracy of silence continues."
"Also closely associated with child pornography is the issue of child prostitution, which - make no mistake about it - is a booming business. A&E's "Investigative Reports" has noted that law enforcement figures indicate that there are currently some 600,000 child prostitutes working in the United States and Canada and that $5 billion a year is generated worldwide by pimp organizations specializing in the exploitation of children.
A&E also reported that, throughout North America, there is a "growing use of children in the sex trade," and that young boys make up 51% of that trade. The FBI has, of course, turned a blind eye; for the last quarter-century, "federal prosecutions of major pimp operations have been virtually nonexistent." As Dr. Lois Lee has noted: "It's not a high priority with the FBI to go after kids that are being transported across state lines. It's really a disgrace."
6. Stop covering-up stories of high-ranking men who are sexual abusers of boys and girls alike.
"In Washington, Spence was known to take his show on the road, giving some of his boys regular late-night tours of the White House. These tours were reportedly arranged by Donald Gregg, the national security adviser to then-Vice President George Bush. Though Gregg adamantly denied the accusation, there were undeniable connections between the two men, including the fact that Spence had once sponsored a dinner for Gregg.
The story quickly dropped off the media radar screen, and Washington and the press proceeded to pretend as though it had never been aired at all. According to a Washington Times reporter, the paper trail was quickly covered-up - some 20,000 documents pertaining to the case were sealed by court order. By the time Spence turned up dead in a Boston hotel room less than five months after the story first broke, he was all but forgotten.
The UK's Independent reported that: "Boston police said he was found lying on his bed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, dressed in evening clothes, with no obvious signs of injury. The police refused to comment on the cause of death." The Post had earlier reported that Spence had told a friend: "I may be disappearing soon. It will be sudden. It may appear to be a suicide, but it won't be."
7. Use alternative treatments for youth angst rather than pharmaceuticals which are proven to cause violent tendencies. Yoga, meditation, tai chi and other non-violent mind-body practices have been proven to alter brain chemistry for the better.
I'll keep adding more ideas, Mr. President, maybe you can try a few new ones too.

Jenson Button believes his race was ruined when McLaren decided to haul him into the pits ahead of his scheduled stop, during Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix.
The 2009 World Champion added that he couldn't get heat into the tyres during the early parts of the race, and eventually had to settle for a disappointing 11th place.
"I got a bad launch and on the first lap struggled to get any heat into the tyres," Button told Sky F1.
"I then pitted behind one Force India to get the jump on the other one, but I then had to sit in the box because another car came along behind me. I then came out in front of Lewis but had to let him through even though he was slower than me - which was the first time I've seen that this year.
"The car did feel a bit better in the race, we just couldn't do anything with it. We've made progress, the first lap made all the difference and it's so difficult to overtake around here.
"The start and the first lap cost me a lot of time and my second pit-stop compromised my strategy.
"During the first two stints, it felt like we were making progress, because we were faster than the cars in front.
"But we gambled on taking the second stop early, thinking we could jump one of the Force Indias, but Daniil [Kvyat's] Toro Rosso followed me in, and caused my release to be delayed by a few seconds while he came past me in the pit-lane.
"Then I came out of the pits just in front of Lewis [Hamilton], who was lapping me. He was running old tyres, while I was on fresh rubber; I had to let him past, but it delayed me a bit more."

hey everyone. I dont post here much but seeing a couple of people show pictures of what they do kinda got me inspired. So im gonna show some pictures of a bridge repair i did about a month ago. Quite a job i was 2 hours out of town workin on this bridge 12-14 hours a day 7 days a week for 3 1/2 weeks... not that much work i guess compared to some other poeple but still a fair bit.
The first and second pictures are pictures as to why i was there. The expansion **** busted and started to let water through and running on the concrete erodded and rotted it so the bearing plate wasnt sitting on anything.( these pictures where taken after we jackhammered the bad concrete out and jacked the bridge to sit on temporary supports)
The third and fourth pictures are of the shape the bearing plates where in when we got there.. out of 24 we replaced 18. THe originals where two steel plates with a copper spacer in between for them to slide on when the bridge expands/contracts or shift.
Picture 5 is of the jacking beams we had to lift in place. Each one weighs about 400 pounds. We had to core about 96 holes through the piers to put these in place and then put 1 1/4" threaded rod through and torque to 750 ftlbs.
Once the beams were up and in place we put in little stub columns to support the bridge after it was jacked up as shown in picture two. To lift the bridge we used 6- 100 ton jacks to lift it 5mm. Once the columns were in place we set the bridge down and started gouging the old plates off, cleaning up and setting in the new bearing plates.

Spool Gun conversion. How To Do It. Below.
Pictures six and seven show the dis assembly of the bearing plates. WE also had to cut the old anchors out and weld new replacement ones in as shown in picture 8.
Picture 9 is a picture of the new bearing plates we put in. I think they were made of 1 1/2 steel plate galvanized plates. The new bearings had a fabric pad sitting on the concrete and then a plate with a rubber bearing pad in the middle and another steel galvanized plate. The top plate had to be welded to the girder and picture ten is a show of one of the welds i did. They were a three pass fillet weld done with 5/32" 7018.
Here are some more random pictures... The first one is of the welder i was using. It was an old lincoln commander 400 with over 7800 hours on it and that thing lives to gouge... all day long. The third is a picture of our big torque wrench.. I was hanging off that thing and could barley get he 750 ftlbs required..
The fourth is a pile of all the bearing plates and copper spacers.. man those were heavy to take down. The fifth is what a $65 can of spray paint looks like. This is the paint that we use to paint our welds on bridges.. when i was done i swear there was like $10 worth of paint on my gloves
Last of all the randoms are some of the rebar work and concrete work we did. It turned out pretty good i thought. The fourth is just a picture of the bridge itself.. and last is a picture of the area we were working. Very beautiful scenery. So yeah thats a whole bridge overhaul in a nutshell i guess. This was very minimul though compared to some of the others ive seen. But the bridge has hold up pretty well seeing as how it was built in 1959. If theres any questions or you want to see more pictures just feel free to ask and i'll kind of hopefully answer them to my best knowledge.
And Thanks AA it was getting pretty hard being away from home for that long and it was wearing thin on me and the rest of the crew. If it wasnt for them we all would have gone nuts.
Swamp Donkey,
nice welds!!!!!!!!!! I can't see you driving home everytime 2 hours one way...I was working the 12 hour night shifts, then 1 hour drive home...did you go that EVERY day???!!! Lucky to see you still alive! Sisters dear friend fell asleep at the wheel, hit a phone pole and killed himself...
Bob, thanks for the post, now I have proof to show my wife why I was on the computer till 4-5 in the morning!!!!!!!!!I'm not late...
I'm just on Hawaiian Time
You mean Bert was there jumping up and down on the bridge the whole time you were trying to weld it ?
Nice work, really enjoyed looking at all the pics. That Lincoln has to be worth its weight in gold with that many hours and still going strong. I have to ask though, I saw it was done during cold weather and I know the State or Township where the bridge is located has all kind of specs on the welding procedures as far as amperage, etc, do they allow a tolerance if the temperature gets below a certain degree and you need to add extra amperage or heat to dissplace moisture in the metal ?Ken
What else is there besides welding and riding. Besides that

Well....SOMEBODY had to test it out, made sure the welds and the bridge held together!!!! They looked for the BIGGEST fat @$$ guy around, and the foreman said those most favorite words everyone loves to hear:
the rest is history........
hey, the welds and bridge held up, didn't it???
GOOD JOB swamp donkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm not late...
I'm just on Hawaiian Time
Thanks for all your positive feed back guys.
Bert... thank god no i didnt have to drive back and forth everyday. That would be killer. They put us up in a hotel and man after a month hotel food gets kinda sickning.. i thought coming home and having mac and cheese was glorious.
As to that old lincoln... yeah shes worht her weight in something. It lives to gouge when you can get it started... it was usually -10C so beng a desil it had troubles starting. We usually had to let it warm up for half the day but once she got started we left it running all day. Now for the welding specs all we had to do for welding was keep our rods in an oven and then post and preheat the plates/ welds to get the moisture out. WE usually pre and post heat anything colder than -10C. THe only time temperature took affect was when we were jacking the bridge and putting shims in. The inspector told us that the bridge expands and contracts in temperature change slightly so when setting it down permanently we had to shim accordinly to set the bridge properly... i think i wasnt involved with that cause i was manning the hydraulic motor swithcing it from forward to reverse..

You may have heard about robot-assisted minimally
invasive surgery, but did you know that
Bridgeport Hospital physicians have performed
more than 700 procedures—more than any other hospital
in Fairfield County?
Urologist Edward Paraiso, MD, one of the expert Bridgeport Hospital
physicians who performs minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery, sits
at the console of the da Vinci "S" Surgical System.
The incisions are much smaller, and result in less blood
loss, less pain, less scarring and a lower risk of infection.
Most patients can resume their regular daily activities
in about half the time as with traditional surgery. "The
use of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery has
dramatically shortened recovery time for my patients,"
says Chief of Gynecologic Oncology Masoud Azodi,
MD, who helped pioneer the use of the da Vinci "S"
Surgical System at Bridgeport Hospital. "Most are back
to their daily activities in weeks rather than months."

Staff favorite dog Baby is still looking for her forever home! She's come a long way since she was found tied to a tree in July 2012, winning the hearts of everyone she meets with her abundant kisses and cuddly nature. Baby would love to be your constant companion and doesn't like to be left along for long hours. In the past, adopters have been unable to spend the time with Baby that she needs, leading her to exhibit negative behaviors associated with separation anxiety. However, exercise seems to help her overcome her fear of being alone, and she would gladly accompany you on a morning run or afternoon stroll.
We filmed this video to showcase this special dog's incredibly loving nature, and you can help us find a home for Baby by sharing her story on your social media channels! If you are interested in adopting Baby, please call our Adoptions department in New York City at (212) 876-7700 ext. 4120 or visit her page to learn more.

In 1947, he married Mary Bardwell of Sweetwater. During their marriage, they lived in Sweetwater, Abilene and Lubbock and raised their daughter, Mary Jane, and son, Bob.

Nope, we could not find a way to do it. See my thread How to set background color in TOC? on the ESRI forum.
Might be a good Idea to vote on this ArcGIS Engine Idea
my guess is the first child hwnd under the main AxTocControl's hwnd is the treeview itself (you may want to try the top level one as well). You can use the following (unchecked) code to change a treeview's background color

Recap | BoxscoreScruggs lifts Bucs to 6-5 win over UNF
Saturday, March 12, 2011
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (March 12, 2011) - Junior centerfielder Matthew Scruggs' (Knoxville, Tenn.) two-run home run in the ninth inning lifted the ETSU baseball team to a 6-5 win over North Florida Saturday afternoon at Harmon Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla. as the Bucs have won five straight games.
Senior Bo Burton (Kingsport, Tenn.) had a good start for the Bucs (9-2, 3-0 A-Sun) as he limited the Ospreys (7-7, 1-4 A-Sun) to two runs on seven hits in 5.0 innings of work, while sophomore reliever Scott McNally (Roswell, Ga.) improved to 5-0 on the season.
Closer Andrew Karmeris for UNF was tabbed with the loss after giving up a run on one hit in 1.0 inning.
Catcher Derek Trent (Kingsport, Tenn.) put the Buccaneers on the board in the top of the second inning as he sent his third home run of the season over the fence in right to make the score 1-0.
In the top of the third, Scruggs continued his hot weekend at the plate as he crushed a solo home run over the right field fence to give ETSU a 2-0 advantage.
The Bucs increased their lead to 3-0 in the top of the fourth. After Paul Hoilman (Johnson City, Tenn.) walked and Trent doubled down the line, right fielder Andrew Green (Powell, Tenn.) laid down a perfect squeeze bunt to the right side of the infield scoring Hoilman from third.
ETSU added another run in the top of the fifth on a Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.) RBI double to left center to make the score 4-0.
UNF cut into the Buccaneer lead in the bottom half of the inning as the Ospreys scored two runs on three hits highlighted by a two-run single by Michael Smith.
Alex Hernandez brought the score to 4-3 in the seventh as he sent a solo home run to left.
In the next inning, the Ospreys grabbed the lead after a two-run double by second baseman T.J. Gavlik to make the score 5-4 UNF.
Scruggs answered in the top of the ninth with his second home run of the day as he hammered a two-run shot over the scoreboard in left to give the Buccaneers a 6-5 edge.
Reeder then came in for ETSU in the ninth to close out the game as he picked up his sixth save of the season as he worked out of trouble after allowing an Osprey runner to get in scoring position with one out.
The Buccaneers close out the series against the Ospreys tomorrow at 1 p.m. as they look for the sweep. For more information on ETSU baseball and all other Buccaneer athletic news please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

Comments about PRINCETON TEC Byte Headlamp:
This headlamp is very compact and light. Its not going to weigh you down while you are hiking or backpacking and fits very nicely on your head. The beam of light is very wide and lights up to a great distance. It also comes with a red LED for night vision to find things in a small proximity which is great for not waking other people in your tent. There is also another feature where you can have the light on partially or fully to conserve battery, which is great if you plan on having it on for an extended period of time. I would suggest getting one for friends or family who like to spend time outdoors because they will definately get their use out of it.

I finally had a chance to break-in my Echo Glass this past weekend, and found that glass is just an awesome way to catch trout. I purchased a 6' 9" 3 weight a few weeks ago, I had taken it up to one of our local rivers as soon as I bought it to test it out and had terrible luck. I Wasn't use to the super slow action of the rod, I kept making terrible casts and couldn't get the hook set right, it has a completely different feel from all of my graphite rods I own, once I got home I started to second guess my purchase. I couldn't understand what all the hype was about. I had read so many blog post and comments on fishing with glass and many of them raved about how much fun glass was.
After that first outing I put the glass on ice for a couple weeks, it wasn't until this past weekend I decided to fish it on a smaller creek that I had great success on the week before. Knowing that the creek had been fishing extremely well I figured this would be a good opportunity to hook into some fish. This time I was more familiar with the action of the rod, making better casts and could land flies accurately where before I was lucky not to get a tangle.
Throwing a size 10 Chernobyl Ant, I landed the fly underneath an overhanging bush; sure enough I had my first take, the first impression of the rod with a fish on was, "this is awesome, you can feel every move the fish made, every twist and turn and every head shake." It was a larger fish and was a little concerned the rod wouldn't have enough of a backbone to keep it out of the submerged branches or handle the force of the fight combined with the water flow. I ended up coaxing the fish around the branches and worked it into a pool where I could land it. As the day went on and hooking into more fish my attitude towards the Echo Glass change dramatically, it was such a sweet feel; it made every fight super fun, even for smallest fish and the larger ones, watch out because you were about to go for a ride.
Once the day was over I came to the conclusion that this is not a beginner's rod, you definitely want to be an experienced caster. This thing is a noodle, so you have to slow your cast down a lot, that being said once you have your cast dialed in you can't ask for a more sensitive and fun rod. If you are looking for a rod to fish those smaller and more technical creeks this is it, short enough to make those tough cast under branches easier but still has enough power to make longer casts.
- Sensitive and fun
- Ability to land cast into difficult locations
- Great for dry flies and emergers
- The learning curve from graphite
- Difficulties casting when the wind picks up

Cantonese Fried Noodles
The Canton region of China has a rich culinary history and no search for that one perfect bite would be complete without exploring it's cuisine. Today's dish is a contender for the crown. It is the essence of simplicity; nothing more than a bowl of noodles - perfectly fried - tossed with a little meat, some crisp vegetables and a coat of shimmering glaze. It's gorgeous to look at, ready in less than 30 minutes and budget friendly. You just can't go wrong! A word about noodles - I use medium-width rice sticks that resemble tagliatelle because fresh rice noodles are hard to come by in this area. The noodles come from Vietnam and are called bahn pho; they are available in various sizes S thru XL - go for L or XL. Pad Thai noodles can be used in a pinch, but follow box instructions for softening rather than those given in this recipe. Rice noodles can be purchased from online merchants.
Cantonese Fried Noodles
8 ounces wide rice stick noodles (bahn pho, XL)
2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided use
1 tablespoon rice wine
3-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch, divided use
1 teaspoon granulated sugar, divided use
8 ounces tender steak (i.e. sirloin or flatiron), thinly sliced
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
3/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
8 ounces snow peas, trimmed and blanched
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided use
1) Cover rice noodles with boiling water. Let sit 20 minutes stirring occasionally. Drain.
2) Meanwhile, combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce, rice wine, 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon sugar and beef in a small bowl. Toss to coat.
3) Combine oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon sugar and sesame oil in a small bowl. Mix well. Set aside.
4) Coat bottom and sides of wok with a thin layer of oil or nonstick spray. Heat wok over high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil and warm until it shimmers. Add beef and stir-fry until just cooked, about 1 minute. Transfer beef to a plate.
5) Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan. When hot, add drained rice noodles and gently stir-fry until noodles are warm and coated with oil.
6) Add oyster sauce mixture; simmer, stirring slowly, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Add snow peas and beef, tossing lightly to combine. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Yield: 4 servings.

when we make this the noodles always seem to dry out, how can we keep them more moist? we use hoisin sauce for the noodles, is that why?

Annonymous, is it possible the noodles are taken out of the water too soon? I don't think using hoisin should cause them to be dry.

Gallery: Radhaus is a Glowing Bike Shop & Storage Facility in Eastern G...
After the new rail station was completed in Erfurt, lots of commuters were riding their bikes to the station and chaining their bikes up to whatever they could find. Plans hadn't been made to accommodate all the cyclists, so the city held a competition to make the most out of an unused lot next to the station. Osterwold+Schmidt from nearby Weimar were the big winners with their design for a glowing shed. The multi-purpose bike facility securely stores bikes, minimizes vandalism and damage while providing important services to local residents.
The Radhaus has a traditional storefront facing the street with a shop inside that sells cycling related gear. The building also holds space for offices, workshops, a service station and a refreshment stand. Commuters can safely store their bikes inside the long low space to the back, and you can even rent bikes from the facility. Inside there's enough room to store 260 bicycles and there are 32 lockers to store people's gear. The exterior is covered in durable, translucent polycarbonate panels decorated with gold and silver cyclists zooming by. During the day, the panels allow natural daylight into the shed space reducing the need for artificial light. At night lights inside make the building glow and provide additional light for increased security.
