Great Autumn Brown Sedge
I show these big caddisflies on our hatch chart starting to show up on the streams of Great Smoky
Mountains National Park the first of October. In most places in the eastern part of the country, they
appear in September. As cool as the weather has turned, and it's going to get even cooler by this
weekend, I don't doubt that they will begin to show up a little early this year.
The huge Great Autumn Brown Sedge is found on many trout streams in the East and Mid-West. It
emerges mostly during the night and egg laying usually occurs very late in the day or during the
evenings. It can be a big meal for a trout. These are tube case caddisflies that build large cases
out of sticks. The are in the Limnephillidae family of caddisflies and the
genus. There
are three species that are almost identical.
These are often confused with the western species called October Caddis and sometimes Giant
Orange Sedges but the common name "October Caddis" should apply only to the large orange
colored caddisflies of the
genus. There are three main species of them - the
jucundus, gilvipes
and the
. All of them look very similar. They are members of the Northern
Case Maker group of caddisflies.
The October Caddis cases are huge and made of tiny
pebbles and rocks, not sticks like the Great Autumn Brown Sedges.
The Autumn Brown Sedge Larvae:
We have found little evidence that the trout eat these large stick larvae cases and all. In fact, it is
thought that is why they build them out of sticks - to keep fish from eating them.
These caddisflies live in fast moving, clear mountain water usually where the streams flows through
lot of woods. That certainly fits the Smokies. They can hatch from the first of September up North,
to the end of October in the South.
These caddisflies, or sedges if you prefer, often crawl out of the water on the banks and rocks to
shed their larva shuck and then emerge into an adults. We don't think trout eat them after they
become adults prior to the females depositing their eggs. For that reason, we think the Pupa stage
of the hatch is the most important stage to imitate. During the hatch, the pupae are easy pickings
for the trout. They have no defense whatsoever.
These caddisflies hatch during the night but can start in the late afternoons and still be hatching at
daylight. This is more apt to happen when there's lots of cloud cover or when it's raining. We
suggest that you fish the "Perfect Fly" imitation of the pupa late in the day. On cloudy, rainy days,
start fishing the pupa fly earlier in the day at least an hour or two before dark.
Add a little weight to the tippet a few inches above the fly. Cast the fly down and across near the
ends of runs and riffles and mend the line to get it down. Allow the fly to swing around directly
downstream of your position. Hold the tip of the rod up high and let the fly rise back to the surface
in the current. Most takes occur at the point the fly reaches the surface, so don't be too quick to
make another cast..

Startsmeup - aiming at Group 1s..
Jul 30, 2011
Glenn Davis , AAP
Bruce Hill is still hoping Startsmeup could be the horse to give the Gold Coast trainer his first Group One winner following his explosive win at Doomben on Saturday.
Ridden by Melbourne apprentice Jarrod Fry, who is on a three-month stint in Queensland, Startsmeup pounced on the leaders halfway down the straight to down Tierqualo by 1-1/4 lengths in the Ownit Homes Handicap (1350m).
Kryptelon filled the minor placing only a half-head away.
Hill, who won this month's Listed Grafton Cup with Warrior Within, is hopeful Startsmeup can measure up to Group One company in Melbourne during the spring.
But first he plans to test the waters with the son of Danzero in Sydney for a short campaign and would not rule out the Group One Epsom Handicap (1600m) at Randwick in October.
"I'm going to sit down and work out a plan of attack," Hill said.
"I don't want to kill him too soon in his campaign but I'll probably give him his next run over 1400 metres in Sydney and then another one over 1600 metres.
"After that he'll go on to Melbourne for some of the better races over 1600 metres like the (Group One) Toorak Handicap."
Hill has always had a big opinion of Startsmeup who was sent to Melbourne in the autumn but could manage only 10th to Shamrocker in the Group One Australian Guineas at Flemington.
"He's going terrific this campaign," Hill said.
"I thought he ran a great race when he ran second first-up at Doomben last start when he was only half-ready.
"This horse had never had a decent spell until I took him away last spring when I left him down there with a mate of mine for a seven-week spell."

Scoring student films made easy with free music for film students.
Hello there film & media arts students! Your parents probably wanted you to become a doctor or lawyer. But no. You were put here to create awesome visual content and nothing will stop you. And for that we applaud both your resilience and courage. It may not be the easiest path. But, rest assured, we're here for you. And we're giving free music to film students to help you reach your audience.
As award-winning composers we realize how important the soundtrack is when trying to captivate your audience. We also realize that sometimes music can get overlooked in the process of film-making. After all, the music is typically one of the last things, the icing on the cake if you will, before the film is completed. We empathize with you, the students, knowing you might not have the luxury of landing an adept (and affordable) composer.
And that's why we're helping film & media art students with music.
Free Music for Film Students – How it Works
OC Music CO is an online library of production music where content creators can search and find music tracks to use in all kinds of media. Many colleges and universities have partnered with OC Music CO to help film students with their soundtracks.

1. Visit the OC Music CO website: ocmusicco.com
2. Browse the catalog by Genre, Mood, Instrument, BPM, or Attribute.
3. Enter the Coupon Code provided by your school at checkout.
4. Download your song and start creating.
That's it! You can instantly download your tracks after redeeming your code or come back later to access and download your music.
Something for Everyone
We have almost any genre you can possibly imagine from beautiful piano ensembles to edgy EDM jams to traumatic horror tracks that will send a cobra into a tizzy. That means there's something in there for everyone.
We encourage you to take advantage of this offer to blow your audience away.
Who We Are
OC Music CO was founded by my twin brother, Steve O'Connell, and me (Eric O'Connell). We started composing for indie films in 2017 and have grown to include works from over 29 world-class composers. We carefully choose the composers who contribute to our library many who have been featured in world-famous brands such as Coca-Cola, Audi, Sprint, Fox Sports, VH-1, Chevrolet and Captain Morgan to name a few.
A Small "Thank You"
We'd like to thank each and every one of the schools, colleges and universities who have joined forces with OC Music CO on behalf of the students. You will always be friends first, partners second. Your dedication to the student body does not go unnoticed and we tip our hats to each and every one of you. We are blessed to be part of your family and cannot express our admiration enough for what you do.
Here's to you, film and media arts students! You are the future. Happy film-making!

CDR Andy Newsome is an Information Warfare Officer, and is passionate about helping others. Andy is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Naval War College and Naval Postgraduate School. He has served and led in various capacities inside and outside of the Navy. Andy loves spending time with family, classic cars, serving in the community, and camping with his sons and fellow Scouters.
Canoeing is one of my favorite activities. I love being on the water (a good thing since I chose to serve in the Navy). The lake where I've been spending some time lately is small, and I'm usually the only person on the water. While I typically enjoy canoeing with friends or family, every once in a while I like being by myself. I'm an only child, so I have plenty of experience being alone. I don't like being by myself all of the time (I would consider myself to be extroverted), but I do enjoy solitude from time to time. I'd like to think that being an only child has made me a bit of an authority on the benefits of solitude – especially as it pertains to leadership.
Benefits of Solitude
- Solitude permits you to enjoy the beauty of Nature. You don't have to be outdoors to derive benefit from solitude, but I certainly love being outside every chance that I get. It's one reason my sons and I love the Scouting program. No matter how you think we all got here, you have to admit this rock we're riding on is beautiful. Being alone in Nature allows you to focus on its beauty. That focus can help to foster an attitude of gratitude, and gratefulness is a key trait of a good leader.
- Solitude can have a calming effect. Let's face it – our lives are fast-paced. We're over-stressed, over-scheduled and over-stimulated. Henry David Thoreau wrote "I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least – and it is commonly more than that – sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements." Today we're unlikely to be able to spare multiple hours per day in solitude, but getting alone from time to time can have a calming effect on our bodies and minds. As leaders, we need to be able to maintain calm, especially in the face of adversity. Our followers might initially respond to – but won't respect – a hothead. They want to know that their leader can remain calm when the going gets tough.
- Solitude can help you think more clearly. Being alone, absent from distractions, can help you sort through your thoughts. As leaders, we often deal with complex issues or dilemmas, and extracting ourselves from a hectic environment can help provide the clarity and focus required to make good decisions. While it's important to seek out the counsel of others, it's just as important to process our own thoughts, beliefs, biases, and assumptions. Leaders need to be able to think for themselves, which means that they need to be by themselves from time to time.
Getting Solitude
There are some practical ways for you to get solitude right now:
- Go for an evening walk. It need not be long, nor every evening. Just pick a night where the weather is pleasant, and enjoy! I love going for a walk after dinner – it's a great way to end the day (and good exercise too!)
- Get up a bit earlier in the morning (before everyone else in the house). Why not start the day with some solitude? It's a good time to do some reading, light exercise, meditation, affirmation or journaling. Brew some coffee or tea (or hydrate with water), and enjoy some peace before your day gets hectic.
- Push away from your desk! If you've been staring at the computer screen too long, take a walk! If it's decent weather, go outside and soak up some sun. It's a great way to quickly recharge in the middle of the workday. It might also help you reach a mental breakthrough on a work-related problem.
If you make an effort to be alone from time to time, you will experience some of the benefits described here, and maybe even more. You will also improve in your role as a leader.
I recommend this essay on Solitude and Leadership to you.
- How and when do you prefer to get solitude?
- Where do you go, and what do you prefer to do?
- How has solitude helped you as a person and leader?

I see lots of complaints about dog issues. Likely because only 2% of dog owners are respectful of other people's spaces! Does the dog really need to go everywhere? So many don't even hear their dogs barking incessantly so I assume they don't care. When we stayed here the couple in the RV next to us left their mutt in the trailer and took off for the day. He howled and barked th while time. LEAVE THEM HOME!

We LOVED the park. Actually stayed 2 more days! Nice staff, clean park, clean laundry, nice trail to walk, GREAT pull-thrus with plenty of space to get in & out of! But most of all they have many of our Beloved United States of America flags & our Canadian neighbor flag, flowing through out the park! As Veterans & United States of America citizens, we are honored that the park does this. THANK YOU!!! God Bless you!

Kind of pricy just to park for a night. Understanding that, I realize that you should have decent neighbors. WiFi did not work at all. If you stay, check into sites in the back. It is real loud in spot 13 due to all entry and exiting folks. No pool, and highest cost for laundry I have seen. The office folks were all wonderful.

Beautifully maintained park very close to the water. Staff was friendly and the park is walking distance to the marina and a " floating" restaurant. A short drive will take you around to shopping, dining and beautifully maintained parks. An excellent choice!

Camp workers Have The Best Grass Spots
When I first looked at the website, all the pull through sites were nice and green on both sides! Our first site had a quarter of what the Camp Workers have! I was walking my 8lb dog along the perimeter of the Office/Cubhouse and kept to the side of the building and was sternly asked not to walk in his "yard"! Then another Camp Worker who was helping someone, hopped in her work cart and kept telling me not to let my dog, who was sniffing a big rock and the pebbles, do her business on her grass because we live and work here! I told her 4 times when harassed that I was not going to let my dog go on her grass! Maybe, if the Camp Workers would spend some of the time watering the other sites, we could all have a nice grassy spot! Otherwise, it was a beautiful spot to Kayak, Bicycle and just enjoy! I was disappointed that it was Labor Day weekend and nothing was planned, like a simple BBQ of hotdogs, etc!

Good Location But Only Okay Facility
A decent campground a little overpriced IMHO. Sites are not particularly large only get a small patch of grass each. Facilities are good though, for the price, should be. Cable was poor quality and WiFi was not usable. The owners are upfront that WiFi was not guaranteed and on a as is basis. However, for the price it should be better.

The place is pretty nice and seemingly pet friendly with a doggie swimming area. The pet potty area is a bit off the beaten path but the people are friendly and the place offers a lot to do and coupons for your stay. The hiking trails need a bit of trimming, but it's the nicest park in the area which is why it is so expensive.

Google is constantly evolving to pre-empt and counter advances in SEO. Here are the biggest algorithm changes to search engine optimization. The average internet user sees infrequent Google updates, often labeled with cute names like panda or penguin.

Last year, our Christmas present to the Indiana political environment was a Guess Who game full of Indiana elected officials. It was a smash hit, with literally dozens of people clicking on all the instructions before deciding it would be too much work to actually assemble.
So this year, we at Indiana Explained wanted to give you a gift that would help you exercise those brain muscles without having to exercise your standing-up-out-of-your-chair muscles.
Presenting: the Indiana Politics Logic Puzzle.
I've been a fan of logic puzzles since I was a little kid, and one of my favorite time-suck websites, Sporcle, allows you to create your own.
Simply follow the link above and click "Play Quiz". You will get a series of clues helping you figure out which Indiana political figure is in which Indiana county.
You should be able to complete the whole puzzle without guessing. I'd say it's moderately difficult, but it's my first one, so I could be a terrible judge.
Enjoy, and have a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season.

One of the things I look forward to for when I am old, is to insist that something obviously untrue, is true. And be absolutely consistent about it. Repeat. Again and again. To people whom you know have heard it a few dozen times before. It's a shame I can't do it now cos I think you can only get away with it when you are certifiably old, otherwise you'd just get punched regularly.
My dad has been telling everyone that he's had a stroke, even to me, who was there with him at the hospital and read all the doctor's reports. What he had was Bell's Palsy, which the doctor has explained to him five times and me explained to him for the tenth gazillionth time No dad, it's NOT a fucking stroke you had, you did NOT have a stroke, it's called BELL'S PALSY it's caused by a viral infection not your tubes busting up in your brain! STOP SAYING YOU HAD A STROKE! He would go (after me yelling at him for 15 mins), ...er.... yeah... palsy... same family as strokes....hehheh...
At this point I either have to walk off or slam down the phone to prevent me from having a bleeding stroke.
My dad's eldest sister, who is about 80, has on every occasion that we meet, been insisting that I am "not too old" to try for a baby girl. She has even called me up, to tell me that. If she was 5 years younger, and unrelated to me, I would tell her to try for one herself.
I've only got three so far, for when my turn come:
1. Leonardo Capricio is a hunk; I did and still dribble over him
2. I suffer from terminal piles and can't sit down for more than two minutes at a time
3. Hong Kong summers are getting cooler every year, which is annoying.
Not as good as insisting you've had a stroke, I know... But I'm working on it. (It's not as easy as it seems)

Today we embarked on our journey through Joy Hakim's "History of US: The First Americans, Prehistory -1600." We talked about why we study history and then hopped in our time machine and went back to the stone age 40,000 years ago. Another hop in the time machine forward to the ice age and we crossed Beringia into what we now call Alaska following hungry ice age hunters on the trail of the mammoth. In the new world, we discovered an abundance of animals, grasslands and forests and made it our home.
Notebooking pages show the journey. Each child made their own graphic record of what they discovered on their trip.
Various internet references were discovered. Sites like Junior General which has paper cutouts of all kinds of things going back to dinosaur times including the ice age people used to make up our scenes. NOAA's Ocean Explorer offered a recent study of Florida's ice age coastline and possible traces of the earliest North Americans!
We were glad to get back as the trek was made all the more exhausting by having to avoid the wild predators of the time. We built a timeline and put together a hunt story with the cutout figures from the Junior General site. A great day and more to come!

Both of our children, their respective spouses and children live in the suburbs of Atlanta, so we are feeling the tug to move south. Darcy has agreed to accompany me to the reunion. Can't wait.

My thanks to the organizers and especially the one-third of you who chose to add something beyond occupation, marital status and number of children. It's been fun reading and reminiscing about both those I knew and those I didn't.
In that spirit, after graduation and college I joined the military. In an effort to be different from the thousands of other returning vets, I went to Ohio State where I earned a Masters and PhD. Returning to D.C., I worked for the Justice Department for five years and the State Department for 20. From drug policy advisor to oceans/environment/science and democracy/human rights/labor, it was all good. Great jobs, solid people.
I retired from both civil and military service on January 1, 1999, moving to Florida to take care of aging parents and enjoy the rest of my time, just in case there weren't as many days left as we'd like to believe! Since then it's been a constant beat of banging drums and smelling flowers. On drums we have leadership roles with DAV, Xavier's alumni association, a local lifelong learning program, various city advisory boards and most time consuming -- numerous church organizations working for social justice. The flowers include a return to tennis and doubles with my son, who is much better than I ever was; international travel; and trips to visit and/or care for our three children and nine grandchildren -- three per. Through it all I've been gifted with a spouse of 45 years, for which the credit is almost all hers.
For anyone who cared to read this far, I wish you good health and a return to your profile so that I can sip some single malt and read how life has treated you! Enjoy the journey....

Retired Married 2 yesAfter finishing at Virginia Tech, marrying Shannon from nearby Radford College, and time in the Air Force (Texas, Thailand, Hawaii), landed in California in 1974. Suited us well so we never left. Went to work for Pfizer, picked an MS in Finance. Eventually retired from Allergan, a niche eyecare company pleasantly overwhelmed by the success of Botox. Shannon and I live in San Clemente, but our two daughters and their families live in the South (Birmingham and Memphis) so we spend quite a bit of time there. Still surfing.

Ruth Miller (Marcus)
teacher; social service admin Married 3 yesAfter 2 years in a wonderful accelerated, academically challenging jr high, my folks moved to Montgomery Co where I was plunked into a middle of the road 10th grade skeptical of my readiness for high school. I was miserable. Happily, the family moved to Bethesda in the summer and I started 11th grade at Whitman. Before the end of the first marking period, I had discovered RL and AP classes, and teachers like Mr Schneider, Mrs vonDoenhoff, Mrs Diamond, Mrs Croft and Mme Trotter. I was in the right place again.
1968 was a huge year...we got married, my husband shipped out, I graduated from Maryland, I had our first baby. Whew. Then I started to teach in PG co. David came home after almost 2 years. We had 2 more children. In 1978 we moved to Michigan.
So much has happened in 50 years! Hoping for the travel ok from my docs so we can be there in May.

A. Andrea [Andy] O'Neill (Hallock)
retired landscape designer, horticult. Married 3 yesAfter a great year at Goucher, I transfered to Md U for degree in landscape design and horticulture {heavy in history!}. Peter and I enjoyed 2 valuable years with Gustin Gardens and then Pete's family farm {outside of Charlottesville, Va} called us to Keswick. We opened a garden center, The Garden Spot Inc. Shortly a landscape firm, a tree nursery, Instashade, 3 children and a flock of sheep kept us occupied.
We sold the enterprises 10 yrs ago due to Peter's health {now much improved}. We enjoy a family compound, 4 grandchildren, and continue to be involved with conservation issues and community concerns. I remain so appreciative of the academic freedom Whitman gave us, as well as teachers such as Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Schneider, the language dept, etc. Classmates and good friends come to mind - so good to hear from Shashi and Bernd! Hope to see many in May. Many, many thanks to the organizers!

I am now living in Culpeper, Virginia after retiring from Verizon and Nevada Energy. I am still working as a leadership coach and HR consultant with frequent trips to the DC area.
Stephen R Palange
Semi-retired; Consultant. Married 2 yesI have always considered the two years at Walt Whitman to be among the best of times. Standouts still are the camaraderie we had, the spontaneity we had and the teachers we had. And, we witnessed and experienced some simply remarkable 20th century historical events.
After high school I attended college and law school in the Boston area and have stayed there. During the bulk of my working years I was a consultant, and traveled extensively all over the U. S., frequently to England and sometimes to continental Europe. That was always interesting and fun—and tiring.
The crown jewels of my life are named Victoria and Isabella—my daughters. They provide us great pride and joy on a daily basis. They have done their jobs--well--by outdoing their parents (already!).
Cheers, everyone!
Peggy Pangborn (Howard)
retired Married yesSuch wonderful memories of Walt Whitman! On graduation my parents retired to live and sail on board their boat in Florida, the Islands, eventually landing in St. Lucia, WI. Have enjoyed a wonderful life with my husband, Jim Howard. We married in Nassau, Bahamas, and settled in Cambridge, MA. Worked with international hotel management training and development which afforded a rich traveling experience, and established our own company. We moved to enjoy the New England country life in New Hampshire. Since retiring our business, we divide our time between Santa Fe, NM and Peterborough, NH. Still love traveling, volunteering, enjoying friends and family in NH, and exploring the wonders of the Southwest.

What is the best way to start a business?
I have a business idea in the realm of bookkeeping. I'm wondering how to start marketing my business.
I'd say you have to find out if there's a need and a market for what you want to offer. So, find your market, define your service and find ways to reach your customers before you start building your business.
You can't apply this approach for 100% of business types but when you can it's the best way to reduce risk and improve chances to succeed.
Start by finding out if there's a real need for what you offer. In order to do that you'll have to also find out who your target audience is.
Define your value proposition, assume who your ideal customers are. Then find ways to reach them and convey your proposition. This in itself is a huge step that contains some of the most important skills a good entrepreneur has to master. Most chances are you won't be able to make it work the first or second time around. It's perfectly normal, don't despair. Remember, it's very similar to searching for gold – You see all the signs that there may be gold in the ground and you start digging but you know there's a good chance you will come up empty handed.
This is why I always recommend to look at this step as an experiment. At this point your goal is not to succeed. Your goal is to learn what works and what doesn't. So, if you succeed that's great but if you fail that's perfectly fine, as long as you learn and as long as you don't spend too much time and money on your experiments. You've probably heard this one already: 'Fail fast'. Make your experiments as quick and as in-expensive as possible and look for creative ways to test your ideas and assumptions so you can leave the theory behind.
Starting a new business can be risky mostly because it's very easy to burn through your savings before you actually become profitable. So I think you shouldn't spend too much time and money on the product or service that you want to create until you've proven to yourself that your business can really take off.
Keep running cheap and quick experiments until you find the need, the offer and the distribution channel that fit together. That will save you a whole load of money and time in getting your business off the ground.
Eventually you need to find a problem in the industry and be a problem solver and you will attract clients. Then, if you become a specialist in your area you'll even be able to charge a premium for your services.
All the best.

Another strike against the Corrections Corporation of America. From the article: "The records show hours when prison staff and guards were supposedly staffing security posts, but those positions were actually vacant. Workers involved will be reprimanded, and the company told the Department of Correction it will reimburse the state."
Of course, pretty sure state workers also falsify records at times, but is it worse at CCA-run facilities? Don't know.
