The new Mantra: Consolidate, Virtualize, Automate, Self Service
By alkagupta on Nov 06, 2009
So, there you have it. Every CIO there is being tasked these days to potentially reduce costs and accelerate the time to market by incorporating this Mantra in their data center. Either by building in-house or by buying the service from an external vendor that offers these features to the user.
Its no news that Virtualization and Cloud Computing go together. Virtualization enables Cloud Computing, and in fact is one of the key under lying technology enabling the Cloud. However, often people are left wondering if Cloud Computing is no more than "Next-Gen Virtualization". In my mind, Yes and No, especially if you are talking about Private Clouds. I got motivated to write this piece to bring some clarity to this topic.
A Cloud is virtualized by definition, but the degree of cloudiness depends on the level of automation and self service that is built into it. If the offering is a Public Cloud, then it must incorporate almost all principles of a Cloud Computing architecture that include multi-tenancy and pay-as-you-go model, enabled by a virtualized self-service platform with built-in services like billing, metering, charge back, along with public APIs or a Portal for public access to the Cloud. This is much more than an evolved virtualized environment, where you can quickly get a pre-deployed server or a service, ready to use, but does not necessarily have all these other built in services like self-service and pay-as-you go. In fact, a cloud service should be such that it can be abstracted for use on an as-need basis, and not just be a service that can be used over the internet.
In case of a Private Cloud, the users are more targeted and there is more leeway in how much of Cloud Computing principles are built into the infrastructure. Infact, most enterprises are going with the incremental approach so as to leverage their existing legacy systems, yet begin to harvest the benefits of Cloud Computing. This is making Hybrid Clouds more popular where enterprises can spin off certain type of functional workloads or burst loads to an external Public Cloud. Several Public Cloud vendors are offering this feature where the customers can embed the compute nodes from the public cloud into the company VPN, hence making the public cloud nodes part of the company data center. While this architecture has some security concerns, given the public compute nodes in most cases are physically not separate from other nodes in the cloud, it being a virtualized environment, its still a good mid-way between an exclusive public cloud and a private cloud. Its worthwhile to mention here that there are companies like GoGrid and Rackspace who would offer dedicated hardware in their data centers to complement an enterprise private data center. However, the more dedicated the hardware, less are the cost and flexibility benefits of a cloud available to you.

Rangers free agent report: RHP Dan Haren a fit, but there's plenty of risk
As part of a two-week series, we're breaking down 10 of the top free agents on the market this winter to see how they could fit with the Rangers. Here's a look at today's free agent:
Dan Haren
Age: 32
Position: RHP
2012 team: Los Angeles Angels
2012 stats: 4.33 ERA, 142 strikeouts, 38 walks in 176.2 innings pitched
Scouting report: Haren offers a fastball that sits in the upper 80s or low 90s, complemented by an excellent slider/cutter that has been his bread-and-butter pitch throughout his career. In fact, Haren throws it more often than his four-seamer, which is rare for a starter. He also throws a good splitter that adds depth to his repertoire. Though he doesn't change speeds especially well (his primary three pitches usually range from 82 to 90 mph), his success is tied to unpredictable pitch selection and pinpoint control.
The skinny: Though never a fireballer, Haren developed into one of the better No. 2 starters in baseball over the past since his first full season in 2005. And while he was the poster child for consistency on the mound prior to 2012, he finally hit a rough patch this season. Haren's ERA ballooned up to a career-high 4.33 and his strikeout rate was down to 7.23 per nine innings, both of which could be attributed to a back injury that he kept under wraps early in the summer, leading him to get torched in the month of June. After he returned from a DL stint, he looked better, though still not completely like his old self.
Pros: Haren threw 176.2 innings in 2012 – more than all but two of Texas' pitchers – and it was far and away a career low. But before that, Haren was good for somewhere between 220 to 235 innings per season in his prime, and his career ERA of is still a steady 3.66 despite hitting last year's speed bump. Haren has crossed the 200 strikeout threshold three times in his career, which is usually a feat reserved for some pretty good pitchers. He also has the potential to be a major bargain on the open market, as teams will probably be leery of committing a long-term deal to a guy coming off the worst season of his career, and Haren will probably want a chance to prove himself with a clean bill of health and hit free agency against in a year or two.
Cons: The only real downside to Haren is the risk that he's permanently broken. Though his successes and struggles in 2012 seem to coincide almost exactly with his injury, Haren never quite regained his old form toward the end of last year, and there's the chance that, at 32, his back will never regain full strength. There's also the concern of the mileage Haren has already racked up. Last year's trip to the DL was the first of his career, and it could be that so many seasons of 220+ innings have taken a toll on his body. Even if he's not 100%, Haren still probably has the stuff to at least be a back-of-the-rotation starter, but that won't be a comfort to the team that's paying him eight figures. There's also a thought that Haren loves the West Coast (he's originally from California), and that he'll only leave it for big money.
Price: Most experts predict Haren will land a contract for one to two years, with an average annual value between $10 and $12 million per season.
Rangers' biggest competition: Los Angels Dodgers, San Diego Padres
Verdict: Haren fits the bill of the once-great pitcher with a few question marks that Jon Daniels has taken flyers on in the past. Names like Rich Harden and Brandon Webb come to mind, although Haren's injury concerns don't seem quite as serious. And if the Rangers miss out on Zack Greinke, Haren would offer a much cheaper alternative to another free agent like Anibal Sanchez, and best of all, he wouldn't require a long-term commitment which would allow the Rangers financial flexibility when their current core starts to hit free agency in a few years. In a lot of ways, he fits. But the Rangers could have to significantly outbid West Coast clubs to convince Haren to leave his home state, and the team that wins the bidding could be the one that offers a second-year player option.

By RICHARD SHAWEmery County Progress Publisher
It may seem that the area's economy is in a bit of a doldrums because of what many call the "War on Coal." But in some ways that has been a fact of life ever since coal was discovered and started being mined in the area. The coal industry has always been volatile.
Also affected by any downturn in the area, are the suppliers of equipment and materials to mines. If a coal mine closes or slows down, those in support business feel the impact too.
But while that may be a fact, many companies have begun to expand their operations outside the area, while keeping their base facilities in Castle Country. That also keeps jobs in the area.
Recently, what appears to be the final transition of a company that moved a few years ago from the Carbonville area to Huntington, was finalized.
Once known as DBT in Carbonville then Bucyrus in Huntington and then as a Caterpillar company operation, the mining equipment repair facility that is located on the north end of Huntington has now become Wheeler, which is well known as a dealer in the intermountain area for Caterpillar. The company held an open house to introduce the public and businesses to the new operation which will continue to do things it has done before; repair and refurbish mining equipment.
What took many by surprise as the tours were conducted was the fact that most of the work done in the shops there does not originate in the coal regions of eastern Utah. Instead displayed pieces of equipment being rebuilt or worked on came from other states all the way from Illinois to New Mexico. The operations there are not confined to the U.S. either. Plant employees are rebuilding machines from Canada and Mexico as well.
"These pieces of equipment and their repair keep jobs here," said Facilities Manager Steve Martinez.
The operation sports some of the newest innovations in the repair of mining equipment. Two 50 ton cranes above the shop floor give the facility a leg up on many other similar repair facilities.
"We can lift up to 100 tons with those," said Martinez, "We have done that on a number of occasions."
Huge pieces of equipment are used to handle such things as removing parts from mining machines. But besides the size of what is being dealt with, the efficiency of the operation has also reached new stages of development.
In the parts department, where repair systems are stacked three stories high, computerized shuttle equipment is used to select parts that are needed, even full kits for a rebuild of one system or another.
"For years we used this to pick the parts we needed," said Martinez as he pointed to a rolling ladder that sat stuffed away in a corner amongst huge drawers in cabinets that stood two stories tall. "There was a lot of ups and downs."
Then he took the tour over to a rack where parts appear from a huge machine that is controlled by a computer. The operator punches in the numbers of the parts needed and in a few minutes they show up as a door opens and the entire compliment of what is needed lays on a tray.
The shop also repairs the finer points of equipment used in mines. In the last 30 years electronics have become more and more involved in the operation of mining equipment. For instance the first long wall machines were controlled entirely by using levers and switches and were basically manual in operation.
Now computers control them. In fact a coal seam that rolls, one that is not even or a vertical seam can be mined by a long wall, and that machine will follow the contours of the coal and rock.
This guidance is similar to what a missile uses to keep its trajectory correct.
The advance of equipment in all forms has led to more highly trained maintenance personnel. It continues to be an advancing field which bodes well for good paying jobs in the operation.
Best of all, much of the money that comes in for repairing equipment, comes in from outside the area and that pays salaries to those that work and live here.

Staple em to your feet
December 05 2008 03:42AM
Otherwise your socks might get blown right off.
Like the Mighty Oil themselves - we are closing in on a New Era. There are some small things that need to be touched up but here you go Nation - this is what a better tomorrow looks like. Metallic dolphins mightily jumping into the sky, an armada of ships cruising peacefully as the sun sets into a purple twilight. Did we mention that baggedmilk slipped us some of his acid and we sat up watching the awesome developer launch the site until the wee hours of the morn?
What say you via instant message baggedmilk?
baggedmilk: As I ponder moonbeams and sunrises, Shawn Van Allen and sloppy seconds my vision becomes clear as though I am somehow using Horcoff's wolf vision. I see visions of grandeur, a nation rejoicing and all the wisdom of Brownlee and Gregor bursting forth like a mighty oak eminating from the ground. As a new era of a thin Dustin Penner and permanent roster spot for Schremp flashes vividly before my eyes, never have I imagined such potential and beauty. Ladies and gentlemen, the new OilersNation has arrived.
*dead silence*
Wanye: Er.... yeah.
She's 90% done Nation. RSS Feeds, digg it, digg that, technocrati something something. A search function, better navigation and the ability to sort by author. This may mean the very end of anyone reading yours truly - but if you go up to 'voices of the nation' you will see you can pick your favorite author and read all his or her stuff.
Your blessed edit button is coming next week - but we will warn you we will all have to log in now before we can make comments. Its the only way to make an edit function go. Personally we hate having to sign up for sites - but what you say goes around here. This is why we are also discontinuing the weekly 'Sexist rants by Rusty Trombone" column.
Whatever you say goes.
Oh yeah! Before we forget and pass out on the floor you will see that we now have the ability to display a blogroll. It's currently a little grey box cleverly labelled 'blogroll.' If you would like to be added to our BlogRollV1 (there is a different version coming) please email us at email@example.com - include the name of your blog, the URL and who you think would win in a knife fight between K-Lowe and Tambo. Winning entries get a spot in the blogroll. Losing entries - chemical neutering!
They sentence OJ today! Could this be the best day ever?? Yes. Yes it could.
Who posts articles at 3:42am?

People who love watching infomercials and are completely unemployable. That's who Mr. Smarty Pants.
December 05 2008, 04:30AM
We do realize that there are some things that need tweaking. We also realize it's 430 AM and we have been working at this since 7 PM.
To you with failing hands we throw the torch Nation. Feel free to leave us some comments on what needs tweaking.

Wow this looks great...it 'pops' off the screen and is so easy to read...among other good things....
Thanks for the work
A much better effort vs. the previous "new" edition.
I see that unless Wayne loves the teen titan superboys which #4 refers to, there are still some spam blocker kinks to be worked out.
But given it went up at 3:42am, I guess I'll let that slide. I guess.
It's okay...My mom is cool with that.
Oooh look at all those neat 'share' buttons. Congratulations on finding someone who could html & web edit on a deadline!
Loggin' in is no problem - for the most part after you log in once, you don't have to log in again unless you clean your cookies. I think I will make
Next on the agenda - my oilersnation store...
Errrr - You might have to adjust the standings box on the main page sometime...
December 05 2008, 07:35AM
It looks very spiffy. I am deeply impressed!! Well done Wayne and new web developers!
Might I suggest some form of alarm clock, or alert if you will, that can be used to assemble the JL (especially Wayne) on time for the 5 remaining matinee games this year?
I'm not computer savey...Is there anyway the page can auto refresh. Sometimes I comment on something, post it, and am on the wrong side of five similar comments. In the computer world I'm as useless as Avery's publicist.

Nothing made me more crazy than reading 300 comments, then having to scroll back up to the top of the page to get back to home page.
Nice addition of the links under the post a comment box!
Nice site!! You finally got rid of those retards in the banner, save for that sexy blonde one.
Auto Refresh. AUTO. I'm too lazy and drunk to do it myself. Is such a thing even possible?
Why metallic dolphins? Why not go all James Bond with metallic silhouettes of the Dallas Ice Girls?

I'm by no means a Flames fan, but Avery's punishment should have been 6 rounds of no holds barred handicapped punishement with Dion Phanuef and Jarett Stoll.
Even emoticons...

That would only be good if Avery took the thrashing he so richly deserves. What happens, though, when he gouges Stoll in the eyes and kicks Dion squarely in the stones? It just wouldn't do for the Verminator to escape justice by being weasely.
December 05 2008, 09:10AM
"Horcoff's wolf vision" - LOVE IT!
Thanks Gord! One finger on F5 one hand on my Morning Ale.
Also...some Guy on Gregor's show yesterday suggested that the Flames should pick up Avery off waivers and skate him in a few practices...(Oh Yeah!)... then release him.

HOLY LORD JEEBUS!!!! Did I over sleep and it's christmas already....cause this looks like what I was asking ol elf Lovin Santa for!
Wicked awesome. This is totally BAYWATCH! (baywatch meaning totally awesome to look at)
KUDOS interweb architects and Wayne and any other internet dude who took time out of their world of warcraft schedule to launch the site awesomely and on time.
Way better than the failed deploy some weeks back.
The next game / previous game seems to be plainer than before. The standings need to be fixed up.
And oh ya, 1996 called -- they want that tacky title page back.
@ Chris: You can refresh from the place you were at by clicking on the comment number, then hitting f5/right-click refresh/click the little refresh button. The page will reload with the clicked comment on top, so you won't miss anything. You can also direct link to comments using that link.
@ BUCK75: Nope, sorry. That's the correct standings.

The 50,000 objects in the textile collections fall into two main categories: raw fibers, yarns, and fabrics, and machines, tools, and other textile technology. Shawls, coverlets, samplers, laces, linens, synthetics, and other fabrics are part of the first group, along with the 400 quilts in the National Quilt Collection. Some of the Museum's most popular artifacts, such as the Star-Spangled Banner and the gowns of the first ladies, have an obvious textile connection.
The machinery and tools include spinning wheels, sewing machines, thimbles, needlework tools, looms, and an invention that changed the course of American agriculture and society. A model of Eli Whitney's cotton gin, made by the inventor in the early 1800s, shows the workings of a machine that helped make cotton plantations profitable in the South and encouraged the spread of slavery.

1838 Bigelow's Patent Model of a Loom
- Description
- Loom for Weaving Knotted Counterpanes Patent Model
- Patent No. 546, issued January 6, 1838
- Erastus B. Bigelow of West Boylston, Massachusetts
- Erastus B. Bigelow primarily claimed the mechanism that raised the knots that formed the figures or patterns on the counterpane. His patent specification was lengthy, five pages of drawings and nine pages of written specifications.
- In 1840, the editor of the Journal of the Franklin Institute wrote, ". . . the goods produced in this loom are of a quality very superior to such as are produced in the hand loom; at all events we have not met with any thing of the kind in the shops that will compare with them for texture, and for beauty and regularity of pattern. . . . We anticipate that at a very early day, American counterpanes will become as general as berths on board steamboats, and as beds at hotels. The articles are for sale in all our large cities, and as soon as there is a sufficient supply, will make their way into every part of the Union."
- Bigelow was a prolific inventor, patenting at least 33 loom improvements. In 1842 he revolutionized carpet manufacture by a series of inventions that made the carpet loom automatic. The automatic features enabled manufacturers to replace male weavers with less costly female weavers or boys. His inventions for the power weaving of Brussels, Jacquard, Ingrain, and Wilton carpet were quite successful. Before the mid-19th century, the importance of these inventions was recognized both in the United States and in Europe.

Couple files lawsuit against city over Marlins baseball field
MOREHEAD CITY, CARTERET COUNTY - The Morehead City Marlins had their fourth season opener Wednesday night. But some neighbors are not happy about living near the stadium; a couple has even filed a lawsuit.
The Martin family, who live in a home right behind the stadium, filed a $10,000 lawsuit against the city. The couple filed the complaint due to noise and increased activity at the ball park.
But The Martins declined to talk about the lawsuit on camera. NewsChannel 12 could not reach their attorney for comment.
Kaleb Warren also lives behind the stadium. He said he has to put blankets over his windows to block out the light at night.
"When you're trying to sleep and stuff, it goes on sometimes until 12 to 12:30 at night and you can hear it," said Warren. "It's really annoying."
Cindy Tucker lives one block from the stadium. She said she and her husband have gone to many town meetings regarding the issue. Tucker said she thinks the city picked the wrong spot to build the stadium.
"The noise, the lights- I have to shut my front door when they have the lights on," said Tucker.
But not everyone is unhappy about the ball park.
"There are events going on all over Eastern North Carolina that have ball fields just like this," said resident Tony Andreola. "It's well organized and I don't see the problem."
Natasha Oden agreed. She said her family is glad that the Marlins' season has started.
"We love to come. It gives us something to do. It's great for the community, it's great for local businesses, and we wouldn't have it any other way," said Oden.
NewsChannel 12 tried contacting the Morehead City Attorney Nelson Taylor. But he said since the lawsuit is just beginning, he has no comment at this time.
The city bought land for the park and began construction in 2009.

A few weeks ago, we talked about finding meaning after a diagnosis of cancer. Also related to this topic, researchers have found that having a strong sense of spirituality helps people better adjust and cope with cancer.
Spirituality provides a foundation of inner strength that can help people find hope, gratitude and keep a positive outlook in the midst of a cancer diagnosis.
Your own sense of spirituality may include values and beliefs that bring meaning to your life as well as how you connect to your inner self and those you define as sacred. At times, it can be difficult to spark these feelings. This week, I thought we could explore a few ways to reconnect with your inner spirituality:
Having a strong connection to your spiritual values and belief system can be a powerful way to help you reframe your cancer diagnosis, find meaning and purpose in life and reveal what is of value and importance in your life.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer a week ago today. Still reeling and trying to find my way. I am a christian but struggling to find enough focus to find comfort in the Word.
Jan. 25, 2013
After a bout with Pneumonia last March and 2 biopsies I was diagnosed with Mesothelioma. I think I was in shock for awhile, knowing that this disease is incurable. I am a Christian with a strong faith and as I went to God's Word and all of the promises there in I immediately was comforted and found peace. I've found that when I'm focused on Jesus my circumstances don't rule my life. I know that God loves me and will bring good out of this whole sickness and for His Glory. I'm on so many prayer lists and I feel like I am covered like a blanket with them. My side effects from Chemo have been bareable and I continue to go about my life. It's been 10 months since my diagnosis, I'm thankful The good Lord has allowed me to live thus far. When I do die and go to Heaven, I am so much more ready now than before. I have no fear and my family have had the time also to prepare. I pray for those who have no peace in their trials, it must be so painful. I am blessed.
- Dorothy
I was just told today that I have breast cancer. I've been praying, along with my family and friends, and have come to an acceptance of my diagnosis. It's Stage I so that's something I'm grateful for. I meet with the surgical team on Monday, so I'm having a little anxiety about the prescribed treatment. The cancer is way back by my chest wall, and I'm afraid they will recommend a radical mastectomy. I pray for the strength to deal with what is ahead of me. Oh, and my son is getting married on Dec. 27 in another state so I have to fly there. I hope and pray that I will still be able to go.
Having to deal with IBC for the last 8 years and now knowing it has metastized has been excruatingly painful emotionally and physically. Without the support of my husband of 42 years and my sister's caring (she died 3 weeks ago(, I wonder how I am going to have resilience. Writing poems and haiku has been my lifesaver.
My faith has carried me through the last of chem and radiotherapy, only that I know God is holding me in the palm of his hand am I able to remain at peace. My fath community are all praying for me.
I have been through treatment four times in the last 5 years as my cancer is a chronic condition. I agree with Marcy completely! In addition, I have just finished read Proof of Heaven by Dr. Eben Alexander (a neurosurgeon) which is an amazing account of his NDE(near death experience)
I am beginning chemo for colon cancer and have been writing in a gratitude journal. It helps me to forget for a time the ugly word "cancer" and reflect what is most important in my life. God has blessed me with a loving family, beautiful friends and a great big wonderful world!
As a cancer survivor, you really do need
to give yourself some "upper/uplift moments"
like mentioned in this article. You definitely
need to have "time out moments" where your
cancer thoughts are temporarily in the background.
Spirtual strength through daily meditation and a brisk morning run is one of the most relevant factors in my healing -- thank you for sharing this.
My father was diagnosed with leukemia early this year.This has become an opportunity for me to utilise my spirituality(nichiren buddhism) to impart courage,hope and vitality into our situation.
My church family has been a great support for me, praying for me and encouraging me. I don't know what I would do without my faith, prayer, reading the Bible and meditating. It is calming, and brings hope and peace. It helps me find purpose and meaning in what I'm going through.
This is so very helpful and I do thank you. The man I love has pancreatic cancer. Seeing him gone from a burly and proud man to loosing weight, being tired and fragile is so hard. I am trying to be there for him as much as I can. You blog and information is very r helpful. I feel your support. My thanks and blessings to you!weight My

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
My heart goes out to all those who lost loved ones in the horrific shooting at a Connecticut elementary school today. The latest word is that the shooter, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, was 20-year-old Adam Lanza (mistakenly identified at first as his brother 24-year-old Ryan Lanza). I am thinking about Lee Harvey Oswald who was 24 when he was arrested for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (Oswald died before we could learn the extent of his mental problems), John Hinckley Jr. (who once lived in the Park Cities) who was 25 when he shot at President Ronald Reagan (and is still institutionalized for insanity) and Mark David Chapman (who was born in Fort Worth) and was 25 when he killed John Lennon (and while clearly delusional is in prison rather than a mental facility). Now I'm waiting to hear if this tragedy has anything to do with mental illness, and particularly bipolar disease or schizophrenia which seems to rear its head in the early 20s.
It seems as if I was just writing about James Holmes, the young man with schizophrenia who was 24 when he killed 12 people, including a 6-year-old girl, with as many as 59 more wounded at a screening of the new Batman film,The Dark Knight Rises at a Colorado theater. And here we are again, mourning innocents lost and not doing anything to address what happens when weapons of mass destruction, and I do consider 27 deaths (including 20 children) mass destruction, fall into the wrong hands.
Some people may see this as a time to lobby for limitations on gun ownership as was done in the wake of the Hinckley shooting. My personal feeling? I hope they do. I think when a lot of people argue for the recall of any restrictions based on second amendment "rights," they're usually being whipped up into hysteria by gun manufacturers whose only real concern is losing some money over fewer gun sales. Doesn't anyone wonder why a 20-year-old needs to have access to firearms? Isn't it interesting that most major car rental companies refuse to rent a car to someone who is under 21 and in some cases 25? Do you know why? Because they know what scientists know -- that at those ages the frontal lobes are not fully developed and judgment and impulse control are still maturing as Dr. Sandra Chapman of the Center for BrainHealth at UT Dallas told me for my story on the brain.
Anyone see any irony in that no one would rent a car to a 20-year-old kid but if he wants a gun, no problem? Maybe that's because the gun companies don't pay a price for these shootings, but the rental companies lose money when a kid has an accident.
I know this is premature in this case, but my biggest concern now is our lack of understanding and treatment of mental illness which returns to haunt us again and again. As I wrote in my piece about James Holmes, The Treatment Advocacy Center, a national non-profit organization based in Arlington, Va. that was founded in 1998, estimates that approximately 7.7 million American adults suffer from severe bipolar disorder or schizophrenia and about 3.6 million of those adults are untreated in any given year, with substantial numbers ending up homeless, in jails or prisons, completing suicide, committing acts of violence or being victimized. It doesn't help that about 40% of people with bipolar disorder and 50% of people with schizophrenia do not themselves know that they are mentally ill and so will not seek the help they need themselves.
We have all got to do better in understanding, treating and most of all preventing the ravages of mental illness. We need to do it for our children's sake. Each and every death hurts too much.

BENCHES & BOULGERS RESERVOIR. These small ponds remain hidden by snow and ice.
CLEVELAND RESERVOIR. This reservoir remains completely frozen. Further ice fishing is not recommended.
ELECTRIC LAKE. The lake remains frozen. Please stay off until the spring thaw.
FAIRVIEW LAKES. Both lakes are covered by snow and ice.
GIGLIOTTI POND. A fair number of large albino trout may still be seen. The bright yellow torpedo-like fish are easy to spot in the water column. Kids have been having the time of their lives, trying to entice the behemoths to their bait. Randall Stilson conducted a creel survey and reported rainbow PowerBait to be the best fish-getter. Next best was nightcrawlers. The best lure was a Jakes Spin-a-Lure. It's best to fish in the morning. By early afternoon, the wind picks up, and angling success falls off.
HUNTINGTON CREEK. The creek is open from top to bottom. Patches of snow still linger along the shoreline at higher elevations. The water is picking up color, due to increasing runoff. Fly fishermen should try a #10 beadhead Montana. Nightcrawlers and PowerBait are recommended for baitcasters. Most trout are 11-14 inch browns.
Lower elevation campgrounds are starting to open, although the higher elevation grounds remain snowed in.
JOES VALLEY RESERVOIR. The reservoir is ice-free. Aquatics Biologist Darek Elverud fished last Saturday and Sunday. He landed 25 fish in the two days. Most were small splake between 10-14 inches with the occasional larger trout. His biggest fish was a 21-inch cutthroat. Darek recommends chub meat or jigs tipped with chub meat. Crankbaits can also be effective. Darek fished by the dam, at the mouth of Seely Creek and north of the creek and caught fish at all locations.
Joes Valley Reservoir has special regulations. Please refer to the 2008 Fishing Guidebook.
LAKE POWELL. Visit http://www.wayneswords.com/ for the latest fishing report, provided by Wayne Gustaveson, DWR project leader. The above link reports on the multi-agency effort to keep quagga and zebra mussels from populating the lake.
LASAL MOUNTAINS. Conservation Officer Tj Robertson reports that Ken's Lake fishing is picking up, and has been good in the past few days with an assortment of baits. Darek Elverud fished Ken's Lake on May 6. In two hours, he landed nine largemouth and four sunfish. All bass were less than 11 inches. He used gray or orange plastic worms.
Hidden Lake is now accessible and angler success has been fair to good with nightcrawlers and salmon eggs. Don's Lake is only accessible by four-wheeler, due to lingering snow drifts, which could melt this next week. Medicine Lake and Dark Canyon remain inaccessible. The gates to Oowah and Warner are closed.
LOWER FISH CREEK. Early in the week, Tom Ogden fished the lower stretches from the confluence with the White River, upstream to the first railroad bridge. The water was fairly clear and a chilly 39 degrees. In 3.5 hours, Tom caught three tigers, one cutt and six browns. All fish ranged from 13-16 inches. Tom used floating line and a size 14 hares ear nymph. The water below the confluence is unfishable, due to heavy run-off.
HUNTINGTON (MAMMOTH) RESERVOIR. This water remains covered with multiple layers of thick rotten ice and several feet of snow. Ice fishing is definitely not recommended. Please wait for ice-off.
MILLSITE RESERVOIR. No recent report. Rainbow PowerBait has worked well in the recent past. Trout range from 11-13 inches.
SAN JUAN COUNTY. Conservation Officer Paul Washburn reports that both Monticello and Foy reservoirs are ice-free. Fishing success has been fair at Foy and at Blanding 3 and 4, where marshmallows seem to be the best bait. Fishing has been slow at Recapture, where the inflow of cold water has kept water temperatures low.
SCOFIELD RESERVOIR. The ice cover is receding day by day and a lot of open water is available for shoreline angling. All of the angler reports indicate excellent fishing with egg sacs. With the possible exception of minnows, other baits don't perform nearly as well.
Fly fishermen have been most successful with trout egg imitations.
Frank Atwood of the Division of Parks and Recreation indicates that the campgrounds are not open yet, but will be by next weekend. Ramps are expected to open in a week or so. Frank announced a fishing tournament taking place at Scofield on May 17. For information on the tournament, call: 435-448-9449 or 435-686-2491.
Bob Olson interviewed anglers on May 6 and reported good fishing from boat or shore for 16-18 inch trout with a few measuring over 20 inches. Successful anglers were using dead minnows or egg sacs.
Randall Stilson conducted a creel survey on May 4. The west side was muddy and fishing was slow. The dam cove and east side offered excellent fishing for a mix of tiger and rainbow trout from 1-3 lbs. Randall ranked egg sacs as number one, followed by minnows.
Lieutenant Carl Gramlich and Conservation Officer Ben Riley visited the reservoir last weekend and reported good fishing with heavy angler pressure.
Due to dam spillway reconstruction, traffic delays of several minutes can be expected around the dam cove.
Anglers are reminded that Scofield tributaries are closed to fishing until the second Saturday in July.

The same money that pays Park Rangers to keep out of our National Parks is the same money that should be used to let people in. It is the same money. Duh. Did I not tell you, government is inherently evil. How can they possibly properly take care of my health? Sheesh! Don't even try to tell me they care about people. What a sad commentary on the way this liberal government thinks and acts. The Liberal politicians and bureaucrats pretend to care about people, but the evidence indicates their only care is about their power over people. Do it our way or else we will make it as miserable for you as we can. That is not leadership, it is bullyship.

K-9 Deputy helps find armed suspects in swamp | News
PLANT CITY, Fla. - Two men are under arrest after a home invasion shooting late Thursday night in Plant City.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's Deputies say 34-year-old Charles Smith and 19-year-old Joshua Coleman kicked in the back door of a home along the 4200 block of Cooper Road, shooting three people inside. A fourth victim was beaten with a gun.
Deputies arrived at the home and spotted the two suspects speeding off in a SUV. They pursued the suspects through a pasture where the vehicle eventually crashed. Deputies say the two suspects then took off into a swamp.
Deputy Charles Perdomo and his K-9 partner Deuce were called to the scene.
"You can just imagine, it's dark and thick, you can't see very far in front of you," said Deputy Perdomo, who followed the two suspects into three feet of water.
"We started at the vehicle and tried to get him on an odor and he does the rest," said Perdomo.
Deuce managed to follow the suspect's scent nearly a half mile through knee high water in Thursday night's chilly temperatures.
"There's a lot of vegetation, you had a hard time seeing in front of you it was so thick with vegetation, so there's a lot of odor and also the disturbance under water and all the mud," said Perdomo.
It didn't take long before the first suspect was found.
"When I saw the dog had stopped, I could tell he had something under water and at that time we hurried up and tried to see if we can get our eyes on this guys hands," said Perdomo. "It turns out that guy did have a loaded firearm and after he was secured we returned to the vehicle and we did it again."
Deuce followed the second suspect's scent in an opposite direction. Both men were eventually apprehended.
It was the end of a long night for Deputy Perdomo.
"They allowed me to go home," said Perdomo. "I was mostly cold; it was probably 45 degrees last night."
There was even a special treat for Deuce.
"I usually buy him a sausage biscuit on the way home."
Both suspects are now charged with armed robbery home invasion, aggravated battery with a firearm, aggravated assault with a firearm, felony possession of a firearm, grand theft auto, grand theft and resisting an officer without violence.
The four home invasion victims are all recovering from their injuries and are expected to be okay.

Anne Dangar at Moly-Sabata: Tradition and Innovation
National Gallery of Australia
13 July - 28 October 2001
This is the first exhibition of Anne Dangar's work in an Australian art museum. It shows the significant influence of the art and teachings of the French Cubist painter Albert Gleizes (1881-1953) on this expatriate Australian artist's ceramic work. The exhibition will also examine the introduction of modernist thought to Australian painting through Dangar's correspondence with the Sydney-based painter Grace Crowley.
A substantial collection of Dangar's ceramic works has been lent for this exhibition by the Fondation Albert Gleizes in Paris. These works, produced in France during the 1930s and 1940s, are augmented by a select number of works from Australian public and private collections, including that of the National Gallery of Australia, which has an extensive collection of Australian ceramics.
Anne Dangar
Anne Dangar (1887-1951) was an Australian artist, a teacher at the Julian Ashton school and a close friend of Grace Crowley. Dangar's life was transformed by her decision to live in France as a disciple of Albert Gleizes. There, in the little village of Sablons, she discarded her ambition to become a painter and began a humble apprenticeship in a traditional French pottery. Through unstinting work and determination she reinvigorated the local pottery tradition, developing designs originating in Cubism as well as reflecting Gleizes' theories about ancient art. She never returned to Australia.
This exhibition has been staged to coincide with three others at the National Gallery of Australia: Modern Australian Women, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism and, from 1 September, Joy Hester and Friends. It displays the little-known ceramic work of an Australian expatriate artist in the context of the modernism that engaged Australian women artists from the 1920s to the 1940s.
Anne Dangar at Moly-Sabata: Tradition and Innovation is based on the research of consultant curator, Dr Helen Topliss.
Public Lectures at the Gallery which discuss the work of Anne Dangar include:
- Saturday 14 July. 2.00pm Introduction to the exhibition by Dr Helen Topliss, Exhibition Curator
- Tuesday 28 August. 6.00pm. Australian Art Lecture Series Part 3, Anne Dangar by Dr Helen Topliss, Exhibition Curator. (This is the third session of a 4 part series.) Tickets: $10, Members/concessions $8
- Thursday 2 August. 12.45pm. Australian Women in Craft, Robert Bell, Curator of Decorative Arts and Design.
