Preparing for travel
Here is information to help you prepare for travelling to another country.
Passports and visas
When travelling internationally make sure you have a valid passport and all other documentation required to satisfy the entry requirements of all the countries you will be visiting including transit countries and for returning home. Depending on your passport nationality and destination, additional requirements may include a minimum period of passport validity, visas, the need for a return or onward ticket, a returning resident visa, and sufficient funds for your stay.
Check your passport for any signs of damage as this may make it invalid for travel. If you have any concerns, contact your local passport issuing office.
If your travel documentation is incomplete or inadequate you will not be permitted to board your flight. To avoid any inconvenience and possible additional costs, please check that you meet the requirements for your destination(s) as well as any countries you will pass through in transit.
Special notices
Passport requirements for travel to or via the USA under the Visa Waiver Programme changed in October 2006. See if your passport is eligible.
Entry requirements for New Zealand

Government travel advice
The New Zealand Government issues safety warnings for countries with identifiable risks for New Zealand travellers. Visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Safetravel website for more information. The Safetravel website is designed to help make your overseas travel experience safe by providing guidance on how to prepare for your travel, and what to do if trouble strikes you overseas. The website contains general travel advice, as well as specific travel advisories for particular areas.
Travel insurance
We strongly recommend travel insurance for the entire time you plan to be overseas. Your policy should cover emergency medical situations, baggage loss or damage, and expenses incurred from disrupted travel plans.
Air New Zealand offers a number of insurance options for purchase both at the time of ticket purchase or anytime prior to the start of your travel.
Vaccinations and other medical precautions are recommended and in some cases required for travel to some countries, and are easily obtained through your doctor. Have them well before you leave to allow time for them to become effective and to recover from any possible side effects.
What if plans change?
If your travel plans change, no matter how late, please let Air New Zealand or your travel agent know immediately. Someone else may need a seat, and your call could make the difference! Sometimes changes to your travel plans are unavoidable. Depending on when such changes are made and your ticket type, associated cancellation or change penalties may or may not apply.

When an institution gets so far to the socialistic side of common sense, there should be no reason to support it. I've never been involved in that outfit...they've not been in any community I've lived in. But like this organization, McMillan Mfg, I would be doing precisely what they have done.
From the Owners of McMillan Mfg in Phoenix, Arizona
McMillan Mfg in Phoenix, Arizona, was contacted by Bank of America and informed that they will no longer be allowed to use their services ( Bank of America ) because they are in the firearms business and support the second
McMillan Fiberglass Stocks, McMillan Firearms Manufacturing, McMillan Group International have been collectively banking with Bank of America for 12
Today Mr. Ray Fox, Senior Vice President, Market Manager, Business Banking, Global Commercial Banking (Bank of America) came to my office.
He scheduled the meeting as an "account analysis" meeting in order to evaluate the two lines of credit we have with them.
He spent 5 minutes talking about how McMillan has changed in the last 5 years and has become more of a firearms manufacturer than a supplier of accessories.
At this point I interrupted him and asked "Can I possibly save you some time so that you don't waste your breath? What you are going to tell me is that because we are in the firearms manufacturing business you no longer want my
business." "That is correct", he says.
I replied "That is okay, we will move our accounts as soon as possible. We can find a 2nd Amendment friendly bank that will be glad to have our business. You won't mind if I tell the NRA, SCI and everyone one I know that
BofA is not firearms-industry friendly?"
"You have to do what you must", he said.
"So you are telling me this is a politically motivated decision, is that right? Mr. Fox confirmed that it was.
At which point I told him that the meeting was over and there was nothing left for him to say.
I think it is important for all Americans who believe in and support our 2nd amendment "right to keep and bear arms" should know when a business does not support these rights.
What you do with that knowledge is up to you. When I don't agree with a business' political position, I cannot, in good conscience support them.
We will soon no longer be accepting Bank of America credit cards as payment for our products.
I am fine with you re-posting it. . . . . . . . Thank for your support.

Shares of corporate data mining technology vendor Teradata (TDC) rose $1.46, or 2.8%, to $53.35, today, after Stifel Nicolaus's Brad Reback today raised his rating on the stock to Buy from Hold, with $63 price target, writing that expectations for the stock "have been appropriately reset" and that its business will be better the latter half of this year.
TDC shares are down 13.8% so far this year.
The Q1 ended last month probably saw "lackluster" trends, in line with management commentary, believes Reback, and he thinks the report may miss consensus of $614 million and EPS of 55 cents.
But things are looking better in the second half, despite customers being distracted by other technology, such as the open-source "Hadoop" file-system software, and commercial offerings such as SAP AG's (SAP) "Hana" in-memory database:
Given the current macro environment (e.g., sequester, issues in Europe, lackluster GDP growth, etc.) and flat IT budgets, we believe TDC's existing customers, especially in the U.S., are opting to delay purchases (i.e., only focusing on mission critical apps and projects, tolerating lower SLAs, etc.) and downsizing transactions. Additionally, we believe sales cycles are being negatively impacted in the near term by market confusion from new technologies (e.g., Hadoop, NoSQL, in-memory, etc.) [...] That said, despite investor fears that these new offerings will completely replace current TDC workloads and cause a structural change in its business, we do not believe this is the case as we have seen very little in the way of hard data from customers that are effectively using Hadoop as a replacement for complex and sophisticated data warehousing or database technology [...] Looking ahead to 2H13, we believe TDC should benefit from some pent-up demand (we believe customers can only delay purchases for so long before it starts to impact their core operations), its significantly expanded sales capacity (company added 94 new territories since 2011, and we believe it should start to see some of the benefits from these hires in 2H13 and FY14), and the return of some large deals (we believe the company has several large deals that could potentially mature and move down the funnel by the end of FY13). Should all of these factors come to fruition, we believe TDC could achieve the high end of its guidance and potentially exceed 10% growth for the year.

The cacheRunner example performs distributed caching operations based on user commands. The example is located in the GemFire installation under
In every shell used to run this example application, configure your environment according to the instructions provided in examples/EnvSetup.html.
Once your
environment is set, change to the
directory to run the application. You may wish to configure the example
to run with non-default connection properties (to use a unique mcast-port,
for example). To do this, copy the
defaultConfigs/gemfire.properties file
to your
examples/dist/cacheRunner directory and edit it as needed.
The application takes a cache configuration file in input. You can use the example configuration files
provided in the example directory and you can create and test your own.
This sample loads
examples/cacheRunner/cache.xml file for cache initialization:
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner cache.xml
Once started, the application allows you to perform most of the caching
activities that are available through the Java API (the program's "
help" lists all possible commands). With its free-form approach, this
cacheRunner program allows you to to explore the various caching models. The following examples guide you through three basic cache applications, but we encourage you to try your own.
Example 1 - Exploring Data Distribution and Replication
This first example runs two Java applications in one distributed system. The applications define the same cache regions:
a root region, named "root", with three subregions:
rlocal (no distribution),
rdistnoack (distribution with pull model), and
rglobalreplication (complete replication of data).
To try out
cacheRunner with these configuration files, set up two shells
with the same environment settings and
cd to the
examples/dist/cacheRunner directory. You may need to change how these processes find each other to avoid conflicting with processes that are already running. To do so, copy
gemfire.properties from the
defaultConfigs directory of the installation and modify the
mcast-port setting.
In both shells, run:
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner cache.xml
This starts the applications and initializes their caches according to
The program's
help lists the available operations. In one shell, add
some entries to the three subregions,
rdistnoack, and
From the other shell, list the region contents
and note that
rglobalreplication is already equivalent to its counterpart
in the first shell. Still in the second shell, try to get entries that are already
defined in the first shell and note the result. Add some entries to the
regions in the second shell and note the effects on the regions in the first shell.
quit in both shells to shut down
cacheRunner for the next example.
backup_cache.xml file configures a GemFire cache
root, that backs up its contents to disk. When data is placed into
this region, it is scheduled for an asynchronous write to disk.
You can run this example from the
examples/dist/cacheRunner directory
as follows:
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner backup_cache.xml
After adding several entries to the root region using the
put command, you can exit the program. Upon restarting with the same XML
configuration file, you can obtain the values of the entries you added
using the
get command. The entries should have the values you put
in the previous invocation of the
cacheRunner example.
quit to shut down
The backup files are in the
cacheRunner subdirectory
BackupDirectory. If you want to try out the rollover of
backup files, edit this
line in the
backup_cache.xml to set the file size limit to 1 megabyte:
<disk-write-attributes roll-oplogs ="true" max-oplog-size="1">
Then do puts until you create more than a megabyte of data. Alternatively,
you can enter
forceRolling at the command prompt.
The active backup file is
BACKUP_root_n.olg, where
n is a
sequence number. When the file rolls over, the data is archived to
BACKUP_root.db and the current file is replaced by a
new file with the next sequence number. To save all
the backup files, rather than deleting the old ones,
turn off rolling in the
<disk-write-attributes roll-oplogs ="false" max-oplog-size="1">Example 3 - Querying and Indexing
queryPortfolios.xml file configures a GemFire cache
region with the
Portfolios region that is discussed in the Querying and Indexing chapter
of the GemFire Enterprise Developer's Guide. The accompanying
script file,
queryPortfolios.in, can be used to run most of the queries
that are listed in that chapter. To run those queries against the
queryPortfolios.xml data, execute this command:
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner queryPortfolios.xml < queryPortfolios.in
This lists every query and its results, then exits.
You can run your own queries against the same data by starting
cacheRunner like this:
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner queryPortfolios.xml
For information on creating queries and indexes interactively, see the program help or the examples in the
queryPortfolios.in file.
Close the open sessions by entering
exit in each of them.

Updated on 9 November 2012
A subsidiary of Sun Pharma will commence tender offer for all outstanding common stock of DUSA at a price of $8.00 per share in cash
Bangalore: Sun Pharmaceutical has entered into a definitive agreement with Dusa Pharmaceuticals to acquire the latter, a US-based dermatology company focused on developing and marketing its Levulan (aminolevulinic acid HCl) photodynamic therapy platform.
Dusa's Levulan combination therapy is approved by FDA for treatment of non-hyperkeratotic actinic keratoses or AKs of the face or scalp. Additionally, Dusa's BLU-U treatment has been approved by FDA for the treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris and general dermatological conditions. Levulan is manufactured by DUSA in its FDA approved facility at Wilmington, MA.
Under the terms of the agreement, a 100 percent subsidiary of Sun Pharma will commence a tender offer for all of the outstanding common stock of DUSA at a price of $8.00 per share in cash. The transaction has a total cash value of approximately $230 million. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies and Dusa's board has recommended that the company's shareholders tender their shares pursuant to the tender offer.
Dilip Shanghvi, managing director, Sun Pharma, said, "Dusa has proven technical capabilities in photodynamic skin treatments, with USFDA approved manufacturing. Dusa's business brings us an entry into dermatological treatment devices, where we see good growth opportunities."
"We believe this transaction brings significant value to Dusa shareholders and are pleased that Sun Pharma recognized the value that has been created. The entire team at Dusa has built an excellent franchise around Levulan PDT and continues to grow its presence in the dermatology space. We are confident that Sun Pharma will build upon the solid foundation our organization has established in the United States dermatology market to further expand access to Levulan for patients with actinic kerotoses," said Mr Robert Doman, president and CEO of Dusa Pharmaceuticals.

anyone watching the jennifer garner show "alias". i really loved season one, but was really turned off by season 2, with the writers bringing in sidney's mom and making her the arch nemisis of the CIA. i just found that whole family dynamic lame......but i watched every episode, hoping things would get better.
now we're 4 episodes into season three, and it's like the show is stuck in the mud. they've tried to shake things up by having sidney missing for 2 years, and made sloan an apparent good guy, but it's obvious he's still bad, and i'm sorry to say i'm getting really bored with the show. anyone else share my feelings?
............and i have hopes that "24" will continue to be the high quality drama we've experienced the last 2 years, but have my doubts about this season as well. instead of an assination attempt or bomb, now it's a virus on the loose. ...........i was really hoping plamer had died(not that i don't like his character) and maybe this season would of been set before the first season, back in jack's delta force or swat days. :happy:

The problem with upgrading our bench is that any contracts we bring back are likely to make it so we can't afford Scola. I would imagine Scola is a better fit for our team than any other bench player we can bring in.
That's before you bring in the logistics of using an expiring contract to bring back manageable contracts. If people are trading for an expiring, they typically want to rid themselves of good players that are overpaid for multiple years. If Granger is good enough to net you both good players and cap flexibility, Granger is probably the better player this year and provides us the most cap flexibility.
Time for a new sig.
Bender didn't have jumpers knee did he.? What was it .. accellateredd knee spurts like Oden?
And why would they give us a great prospect?
$ and to take a chance on Granger. But mainly for the expiring contract and to resign other players.
Bird has built a monster.
hell w all that. were not giving up any players in the starting 5 or named scola.
Last edited by PacersPride; 11-14-2013 at 11:53 PM.
No, no, no. This would be for a young player to ultimately replace some of our older players. Not for at least a couple years.
Before the season started, I said I could see the Pacers winning the regular season without a single player averaging 18 ppg. Paul's explosion has made it unlikely that he'll go back to that scoring level, but I wouldn't be surprised if no other player on the team averaged 15ppg.
I'm just saying that points won't be an adequate metric for any player on this team. We could win a championship with David West giving us career low in PPG. Roy is looking great and not even averaging double digits.
This space for rent.
How are we supposed to afford the semi-bad contract AND the prospect AND keep the starting 4 together AND resign Lance?
With the switch from Granger + Paul George to just George we only gain enough money to pick up a player on a minimum salary. Or are you saying it would be better to trade one of our starting unit away so we can have a project big man who may or may not work out? Because if we don't trade a starter away and we pick up a bad contract we don't have enough money to resign Lance.

Four years, hell!
I don't know about your thoughts, but the Pacers are in win it all NOW mode. They are in that mode right now, they will be in that mode next season, the season after that, and so on. For several years, anyway. That means we aren't taking back any bad contracts, period. We can't afford to.
And we don't get rid of Scola. We keep Lance. If Granger proves worth keeping, we even pursue it, even while knowing it's nearly impossible. We keep all present starters, plus Scola and Watson. To make these things happen, we do as many of the following things as necessary to make it happen, in the order listed.
1. Dump Copeland.
2. Dump Mahinmi for a less expensive option at center.
3. Dump Solomon Hill for a future 2nd round pick.
4. Don't pick up the team option on Sloan.
5. Don't pick up the team option on OJ.
Even if we want Danny, but we know early on that we just won't be able to make it happen, then hopefully 2 through 5 above will not be necessary.
Edit: I thought that was clear from the context. I see how it could be read though.
Last edited by BlueNGold; 11-15-2013 at 12:15 AM.
...and the alternative solution is to let Danny walk and get nothing in return? It's been done I suppose...
2) lovin mahinmis work this year. not willing to give him up. need to add to the bigs not subtract. mahinhmi is busting his tail.
3) yall are down on solo ive noticed. all good. he's a wing they are replaceable.
4) like what I see from sloan so far. hes cheap
5) I like OJ. maybe limited but I like him. hes cheap.
down with moving cope,mahinmi, granger but were talkkng nba 2k here now. I certainly do not doubt Bird for a moment at all.
Trading Danny simply is not an option if you want to re-sign Lance. If Larry was able to pull off such a trade where we would still somehow able to keep Lance, it would be the greatest trade ever period. You only even consider trading Danny if you know there is no way you are able to re-sign Lance or Danny, and if that is the case then the right choice is to just ride them out and go for a championship. Otherwise it comes down to who can you afford Danny or Lance, and Lance's age is the tie breaker.
Basic stats tend to be way overrated, like steals, assists, and rebounds. They are easy to understand, but not always representative of reality. I don't care about how many total rebounds you get, I care about how many offensive rebounds you get and how many offensive rebounds you give up. I don't care about how many steals you got, I care about how well you prevent your opponent from scoring, and I don't care how many assists you got I care about if you made the right pass to the right person. These stats can be a simplistic representation of this, but often are not completely accurate. You can make the right pass every time, but if the shooter doesn't make the shot you don't get the assist.
Without Granger right now we have hibbert, west, PG, lance, hill, mahinmi, scola, and CJ playing. That is 8 solid rotational guys on your team assuming you resign lance. You also have cope, OJ, and Sloan. If we just keep our team intact we are stacked.
I men, you're looking around for a team in the league that wants an expiring. That apparently has value. Why is it not value for us? To me, the logical thing to do is wait until we need to replace west and then use the MLE to sign a starting caliber PF. Teams aren't falling over each other trying to give up good prospects for expiring contracts.

Time for a new sig.
Oh, and this isn't some kinda rant on Anthem or anything, just an opportunity presented itself I guess. I just really hate basic counting stats.
Sadly that's the price of being all in now. Granger isn't going anywhere this year and it doesn't matter if he returns to all star form or doesn't play another game. There are any number of ways things can play out between now and the end of the season but the most likely outcome is that Granger will be gone after the run this year.
If Danny returns to complete health with no limits then you'll eventually see PG and Lance lose a few minutes which is a good thing since they're both playing too many now and with that they'll both likely drop in ppg a little which can also be a good thing to have an even more balanced attack. I can see Granger being our 2cd. leading scorer in the scenerio. There are way too many unanswered questions to say what will happen yet and we're still only 8 games into a long season.
Which is worth more, the LT space or the players we'd get in return for him and not being able to pay Lance because we'd have extra contract years for that equivalent salary?
We do NOT "get nothing in return". We get the exact same salary space someone else would be trading for him to get. Why are people convinced he is hugely valuable in that fashion to another team but for us to take advantage of it would be a waste?
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...

Big Picture: X-Men Days of Future Past
by David Bosworth
Previous Posts | Transformers Age of Extinction Trailer
In 2000 Bryan Singer brought us the silver screen comic book adaptation of Professor Charles Xavier and his mutant heroes in X-Men. Starring Hugh Jackman (Australia) as Wolverine with Patrick Stewart (Star Trek: Next Generation) and Sir Ian McKellen (Lord of the Rings) as psychic Professor X and metal moulding Magneto.
In 2003 he brought back the X-Men for a very questionable sequel that saw them pit their skills against Magneto's mutant army again in X-Men 2.
Since then there has been 4 further movies based around Singer's created Universe in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), X-men: First Class (2011) and The Wolverine (2013). Hugh Jackman's "Logan" is the only recurring character in all the movies but it was 2009's time warping movie adaptation X-Men: First Class that was widely acclaimed as the best X-Men movie since Singer's original vision back in 2000.
In 2014 we're being given the pleasure of seeing a mash-up of both casts from X-Men and First Class in the comic adaptation X-Men: Days of Future Past. The movie will see old and new versions of the same people having to deal with the possible fate they could all befall.
Here at HHKMovies we think you need an overall run down of what has been released for Days of Future Past and other big movies in the future (ha!). So we've trawled through YouTube to present you with a comprehensive list of videos to give you the Big Picture on X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Photos: Thursday and Friday at the 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona
This Turner Motorsport BMW-Riley E92 M3 GT took a nasty shunt in practice at the 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona. Driver Andy Priaulx was checked out by medical staff afterward but fortunately was not injured, save for some soreness and bruising.
That's a shame, because this (for a car nut) is really a work of art: a Riley Technologies tube frame, E92 bodywork, and to top it off, an E39 M5 V8.

Recent news of the unprecedented and massive outbreak of E. coli in Europe has public health officials scrambling to find the source of contamination. This toxic, antibiotic-resistant version of E. coli bacterium is like no other American scientists have seen. Since its discovery, this super bug has killed at least 22 and sickened over 2,330 people in 12 European countries.
Escherichia coli, or E. coli is a natural inhabitant of the human gut, but it is no stranger to food contamination and has caused many outbreaks across the globe. Although some strains are harmless, when an infection is present E. coli causes digestive symptoms similar to typical food poisoning such as diarrhea, cramps, gas and bloating. However the new German, toxic E. coli strain or enterohaemorrhagic E.coli (EHEC), causes much more serious issues such as bloody diarrhea and even seizures, strokes and comas caused by the bacteria attacking the kidneys.
While investigators struggle to identify the initial source of E. coli contamination, everything from unclean cucumbers, tomatoes and sprouts have been blamed. Still the real cause of this extraordinary outbreak is a mystery and has left many people afraid to eat fresh produce. A healthy amount of caution is wise, but avoiding vegetables hardly seems like a good strategy.
The fact is all of us have an eco-system of bacteria, good, bad and neutral, teaming within our digestive systems. This delicate balance of trillions of bacteria has the power to either keep us healthy or make us sick. Maintaining proper balance of good bacteria helps crowd out potentially bad bacteria and also supports good digestion. With over 1,000 strains of beneficial bacteria can be found in the human gut, it makes sense to choose a probiotic supplement that reflects this natural diversity. A probiotic supplement with the right amount of cultures and strains can help promote digestive health, bowel regularity and strengthen the body's natural immune defenses.
Although infection with this super-strain of E. coli bacteria has been very limited in the US, the CDC recommends proper hand washing and food preparation techniques to keep food-borne infections at a minimum. Common sense would also suggest that maintaining your own personal "gut ecology" might also be a good idea. Research shows that probiotic supplements might be a smart way to tip the balance of bacteria in the digestive system in favor of good bacteria.

JAMS : Buzz, Sambo,
Wow that's being awful nice! I don't see buzz or sambo getting out of the second series!!
I guess Ive been successful in playing devils advocate. I view POTUS as a car wreck; you don't want to look, but you can't help yourself.
I usually don't respond much on here, but when I do it is usually to blow holes in regurgitated lies from the political talking heads. When the BS is from the Democratic camp it is unneccesary to respond as there are dozens of Republicans on here that jump right in and expose the BS. There is no shortage of lying BS from both parties
The sad thing about POTUS is that it is too one sided and mean spirited to opposing viewpoints. This leads to the few lucid spokespeople for the opposing viewpoint, such as Yardley, DNF, Buzz etc; to get tired of the insults and abuse and leave. We need intelligent opposing civil viewpoints to give this forum any real value. IMHO. Right now this forum has a school yard gang mentality which gives it little objective value
However in my mind I am far more conservative than most if not all on here; in that I follow my conservative roots and not what the supposedly "Conservative" Republican party puts forth. The Republicans rhetoric is more closely akin to what I believe in in many respects. However their actions fall far short of their rhetoric
So it's a school yard gang mentality when people challenge and refute claims of being racists, bigots, greedy, etc. Oh and let's not forget the occasional "you're a dick" comment. Give me a break.

Wish You Were Her: Little Bobby CD Release • Shoulder Voices • Blackout Disciples • Venus Bogardus • Mr. and Mrs. Jones • Radgo
By Jim Phillips [ Fri May 10 2013 2:00 PM ]
I've watched Little Bobby Tucker for years, and I've listened very carefully. I don't mind attesting to the fact that his latest solo effort pushes him over the edge; it's equal parts concept album, dance album and confessional. It's all psychology and honesty. Each song involves a musical and historical depth and layering that works under the guise of simplicity to obscure the weird complexity Bobby creates. In each song, said complexity deals with a woman in his life, and women are always in his life; there are undertones of sex and wine. A little anger is let go, like a note floated down the river, but the overall stamp is, "It is what it is." One line I had to listen to over and over again really sums up his positive spin on what some would consider negative experiences: "Don't give up so quickly on me." Admission to the 21-and-over release party—also starring Venus Bogardus, Mr. and Mrs. Jones and Blackout Disciples—costs $5 and includes a copy of the CD.

Even though there are budget problems right now, the government spends a great deal on government contractors, particularly small business owners. In 2009, the government spent $96.8 billion in contracts with small businesses. That's a whole lot of money. Any small business owner or entrepreneur would be remiss to not take advantage of that large of a revenue opportunity.
That being said, it's probably best not to attempt to rely solely on government contracting opportunities as a single source of income for your business. There are companies like Lockheed Martin that develops military weapons, jets, and satellites that rely solely on government contracts that run up into the hundreds of billions. Unless you're planning on make the next F-35, I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket.
Since you'll be dealing with the government, there's going to be a lot of paperwork, registering, and seemingly pointless hoops to jump through. Here are the hoops that need to be navigated in order to benefit from Uncle Sam's federal contracts:

Operation Indy Commute is a new initiative by INDOT to strategically open up recurring commuting bottlenecks at the I-465 and I-65 interchange on the city's south side, and on I-69 in Marion and Hamilton counties between the I-465 interchange and 116th Street/S.R. 37 exits
Prior transportation planning and programming efforts have assumed that urban commuting bottlenecks cannot be fixed without massive widening and reconfiguration of urban highway corridors. These projects typically require time-consuming planning, design and environmental studies, followed by more than $100 million in construction spread across several years.
While the Indianapolis metropolitan area does not see the same level of congestion as many other major U.S. cities, traffic studies confirmed that some of the area's worst commuting bottlenecks were not within the limits of major corridor construction projects currently being developed. Operation Indy Commute is modeled after successful, quick-turnaround traffic flow improvements built in other states under the Federal Highway Administration's Localized Bottleneck Reduction Program.
Not all commuter routes are state highways, as INDOT only maintains numbered interstates, U.S. highways and state routes. With some small exceptions, the only remaining state highways inside the I-465 loop are I-65 and I-70. Operation Indy Commute complements highway widening and reconstruction projects funded under former Gov. Mitch Daniels' Major Moves highway construction program. Major Moves projects on state highways frequented by commuters are listed below.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Arrow Electronics (ARW) are down $1.63, or 4%, at $37.60, after the company this morning reported Q1 revenue of $4.8 billion, in line with expectations, and profit per share a penny ahead of expectations at 89 cents, but forecast this quarter's profit slightly below expectations, at 95 cents to $1.07 per share versus the consensus $1.05 per share, on revenue of $4.9 billion to $5.3 billion versus the average $5.1 billion expected.
CEO Michael Long remarked that looking forward "we would expect the world's economies to be consistent with what we experienced in the first quarter, and therefore we would expect to see normal seasonality across our businesses."
T-Mobile USA, having completed its merger with MetroPCS, starts trading today under the ticker TMUS, the shares up now $1.03, or almost 7%, at $16.59. CEO John Legere was on Bloomberg Television this morning being asked about the battle between Dish Networks (DISH) and Japan's Softbank (9984JP) over Sprint-Nextel (S), and said he didn't care about which company won Sprint. "We're just this little company, 12% market share, I don't think they really are paying much attention to us," said Legere. "But let them come down here and fight us, if they want, we'd love it."
Shares of Facebook (FB) are down 265 cents, or 0.9%, at $27.54 in advance of the company's Q1 earnings report this afternoon, after the bell.
Shares of Comcast (CMCSA) are up 46 cents, or 1%, at $41.76, after the U.S.'s largest cable operator this morning reported revenue of $15.3 billion, slightly below analysts' average $15.4 billion estimate, but beat on the bottom line with 51 cents versus 50 cents expected. Cash flow in the quarter rose 7.4%.
Shares of Interactive Corp. (IACI) are up 734 cents, or 1.6%, at $47.80 after the company yesterday afternoon reported Q1 revenue of $742 million, missing the consensus $757 million, but beat on the bottom line with 83 cents versus the 69 cents expected.
CEO Greg Blatt was asked on CNBC this morning about startup Aereo, in which IACI has an investment, and which is re-broadcasting television content online without requiring a cable connection. The scheme as prompted lawsuits from the likes of CBS (CBS), but Blatt said the notion of "unfairness" are not appropriate, that the Aereo service is just tipping the balance in television back from one that had become entirely about cable connections, leaving antenna users stranded.
"I think things are legal if the courts say they're legal. So far, every court that's ruled on it has said it's legal. I guess the next stop would be the Supreme Court […] There's been a mix shift from people using their antennas to people using cable, and all Aereo does is effectively balance off that shift a little bit. This allegation it's unfair, I think is just wrong."
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are down $3.30, or 0.8%, at $439.48, following the company's historic $17 billion debt offering yesterday.
In case you missed it, Bloomberg's Adam Satariano this morning writes that Jonathan Ive, Apple's head of industrial design, who took over iPhone and iPad software responsibilities when the departure of Scott Forstall was announced last fall, may delay the next release of iOS, version 7, as he "methodically" reviews numerous changes to the look and feel of the operating system, citing multiple unnamed sources.
The Street today is reflecting on the appearance by Google's (GOOG) head of display advertising, Neal Mohan, at TechCrunch's "Disrupt" conference in New York last night. Jefferies & Co.'s Brian Pitz this morning writes that "several new social & mobile features" were unveiled at the conference that "underscore our long-term bullish stance." on Google.
Notes Pitz "Google + sign-on feature for mobile & web, which will allow the company to integrate mobile app activities into the search results. Google will tie this in with existing features like over- the-air app installs (user clicks link in desktop search results; app installs on phone) and robust analytics for mobile app developers."
Google shares today are down $1.84 at $822.74.

The reason for coke is it does several things, it collapses the foxtail because it contains water, it keeps it collapsed because once something is coated in coke it is very hard to get off, it contains bubbles (CO2) that help move th9ings around in the nose and also help with the sneeze reflex, and it has a PH of about 3 (it is an acid), which helps start breaking down the fibers in the foxtail and making them a bit more pliable. It is also pretty free of bacteria due to how they make and bottle/can it.
Club soda is a much less acidic drink but varies depending on how much salt or sodium bicarbonate is added which reduces (up numerically) the acidity of it. Club soda also does not coat things well.

They stood by and watched their CEO get ousted because of a donation to a cause that the majority supported.
It is weird how so many anti-freedom people like yourself are so quick to claim majority support for what Eich did. Sure, a slim majority were anti-gay marriage back when he tried to enshrine his religious dogma into law. But the overwhelming majority did not support "the cause" enough to spend money on it. By his own actions he revealed himself to be an extremist.
Furthermore, the whole idea that being part of a majority somehow excuses a person from judgment and consequences of their actions is itself morally bankrupt. The civil rights movement was a struggle against majority opinion too.
BTW, the freedom to restrict another person's freedom is freedom in name alone.

What is it again that you believe in? If anything!
you can know things about science, but saying you believe in science is about as crazy as saying "I believe in literature" or math or any other field of study. Belief has an element of faith to it.
ex: We have a "belief" that the Libertarian party would be the best thing for America. We cannot scientifically prove it. But we can, as Christians do for Christ, give examples of how it has worked in the past, what it is doing now, and postulate what it can do in the future.

Oh yeah now I remember you believe in Ron Paul!
I don't care what anyone does or does not beleive in, I don't think the Pope deserves to be ridiculed and disrespected.

You have to remember that class is real hard to come by for some individuals. As a Catholic I completely agree with your comment and appreciate it; however, I would agree with you even if I was not a member of the Catholic church.
And that belief is shown by posting a pic of Tim Tebow as the new Pope of the Catholic church. Good one there franco.

It was Tuesday morning and Eric Hyers, Congressman David Cicilline's lanky, sharp-tongued campaign manager, was sitting in a Starbucks on the bottom floor of the Biltmore Hotel gripping a wiffle ball and furiously sending text messages.
It was Election Day and he was obviously a bit nervous. Little wonder. His boss was considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the country. And the most recent public opinion poll had shown the incumbent clinging to a one-point lead.
Hyers, though, assured me that Cicilline would win. And by the end of the day the Congressman had proven him right, triggering a Biltmore party that would leave the campaign manager more than a little hung over the next morning.
But Cicilline's final margin — 12 points — was larger than even the most optimistic supporter might have imagined. So, what happened?
Cicilline, of course, was still serving as the mayor of Providence when he launched his first Congressional bid in 2010. And his campaign declaration that the capital city was in "excellent" fiscal condition came back to haunt him when new Providence Mayor Angel Taveras discovered a "Category 5 hurricane" on the city's books.
Cicilline's approval ratings plunged to Nixonian levels. Worse, actually. And by February of this year, a WPRI-TV poll had him trailing the likely Republican nominee, former superintendent of state police Brendan Doherty, by 15 points.
A comeback, it was clear, was going to be difficult. But the basic strategy was never in doubt. On Tuesday, campaign press secretary Nicole Kayner joined Hyers at the coffee shop. And she said the joke between the pair was that they've never worked on a campaign with a simpler message: the opponent is a Republican.
Indeed, Cicilline had to make the race about the divide between Democrats and Republicans, about a national GOP brand that has grown increasingly toxic in Rhode Island. And that's just what he did: relentlessly working to tie Doherty to House Republicans on Medicare, Social Security, tax hikes for millionaires, and abortion.
If the message was an obvious one, so was the tactical approach. Like President Obama, Cicilline would focus on turning out three key demographics: Latinos, young voters, and women.
Doherty's starting point was pretty obvious, too: he had to separate himself from the Republican Party as best he could and hit Cicilline for his mistruths on Providence's finances.
But then, there were was a strategic call to make. Should the campaign focus, exclusively, on Providence's finances? Or should it use Cicilline's "excellent" statement as Exhibit A in a broader case for the Congressman's dishonesty and manipulation? Soon, an opportunity for the latter course presented itself.
As the campaign entered the homestretch, Cicilline hit Doherty for his failure to support an expansion of the Violence Against Women Act. Ian Prior, the Republican's campaign manager, says Dohertyworld knew the attack might be coming. But the Republican's aides were a little surprised, nonetheless. Cicilline, they believed, had opened himself up to a potent attack.
Doherty needed an opening. A late September poll by WPRI-TV had given Cicilline a 6-point edge in the race. Cicilline, as Prior would later acknowledge, had boxed his Republican opponent into a corner.

Eduard Irimia's Special Report From K-1 In Los Angeles
- Written by Rian Scalia
K-1's US Grand Prix in Los Angeles went down on last Saturday, September 8 in Los Angeles at the LA Sports Arena. One guest who was present was Eduard Irimia, the owner and promoter of SuperKombat. SuperKombat recently entered a partnership with K-1 and Irimia was on hand to see for himself what the new K-1 had to offer.
Here at LiverKick, we were lucky enough to get an exclusive report from Eduard Irimia on his evaluation of the event and the new K-1 as an organization. Here's what he had to say:
Eduard Irimia: "We decided to come a few days early to Los Angeles to see the logistics that K-1 has. I was not particularly interested in fights, but I was curious about the the technique that K-1 Global has. Knowing how I can do in Europe with SuperKombat, it was important for me to know whether Asia and America are good in regards to logistics for the future, especially for TV and for the public interest of this event.
Basically, the K-1 Global event in Los Angeles was an exam. Even if it seems impossible to get a big attendance with a fight card without big names, it was shown that with proper promotion and marketing, K-1 managed to get 7000 people in the arena.
Frankly, I was surprised to see how many good things they managed to do at K-1 Global fight card with a fight card like this. They took newcomers selected at the tryouts by the beach, without having any fights ever before in kickboxing. For Jarrel Miller I can say that I see a great future, but I noticed Blake, Vigney, and James Wilson, who is like Catalin Morosanu, and they can progress more in the coming years.
K-1 Los Angeles was the perfect time to re-introduce America to this sport, and I can say it was a success. A lot of people expected this to be like a World Grand Prix show from Japan, but the idea was for a pre-selection event in an attempt to discover new heroes and also to excite the interest of Americans. The result was a good one. In Los Angeles, television and newspapers have commented more on this event, even though, again, it was without big names.
As for the impact, I think it was the best K-1 event ever organized in the United States, but not in terms of sports, but in terms of organization. The only negative point that I could mention is the fact that they announced the four winners of the heavyweight fights will go to Tokyo for the Final 16, but have done a match of two veterans face to face instead of a veteran against a rival of the newer wave.
Although there will be some who will criticize the event, I think it was made a good step to the recovery of K-1 in the U.S. market, especially the entertainment aspect as a spectacular athlete like Miller can perform very well. In addition, this was an event preparation for the grand final which will take place on December 26 in New York.
As a novelty, the discussions that we had with Mike Kim, owner of K-1 Global, include an announcement soon with a large television network in China. This after they signed a partnership with Spike, so progress is evident. We will promote the finals in New York and SuperKombat events on 20 October, 10 November and 8 December because we believe in the recovery of K-1.
In the end, beyond the ideas listed at K-1 in Los Angeles, I have to mention that between SuperKombat and K-1 there is a cooperation agreement, and it is not financial. Thus, SuperKombat GP champions will arrive at the K-1 Final 16 and K-1 heroes will fight in SuperKombat to stay in shape before the big event at the end of the year. It's a reciprocity for this sport to return to its glory years."

Town Square
Hardly newsworthy
Original post made by weekly reader, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Jan 10, 2007
Frankly, "if you're a mom with kids in tow", cutting across the Cubberly parking lot is not the safest route to get to the center even though it may be the shortest. If the kids are too tired to make it the extra 100 yards, then perhaps the parent should try a stroller, if the kids are older and just too lazy like the parent to take the extra steps that it would take to use the safer route (using the sidewalk), then maybe they should use the car.
I agree with Kathy Espinosa-Howard; this is hardly newsworthy and it is definately not worth using city staff time or dollars to discuss the parking issues at Charleston Center. Has the center's management ever considered hiring a private parking guard like they have patrolling other private parking lots?

on Jan 10, 2007 at 2:51 pm
I agree with you, this story is so Palo Alto. I am actually surprised that they were able to install the fence--if the neighbors would have found out about it beforehand it would have been subjected to a 1-2 year delay while the neighbors discussed it, environmental impact reports were prepared and the city council waited to vote until they figured out which way the NIMBy wind was blowing.
i loved the title also of the woman who was whining about the fence--civic affairs committee chair for the Greenmeadow Community Association!!!
Maybe the buildings in Cubberly center should be torn down since they impede Greenmeadow residents from directly getting to Charleston Center.
But it is not too late to do something about the fence--I suggest a petition drive to put this pressing matter on the ballot in november.

on Jan 10, 2007 at 3:00 pm
Not everyone is young, you know. That can be an arduous distance to someone with a heart condition.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Jan 10, 2007 at 3:08 pm
Joyce is right--in order to accomodate all the PA residents that have heart conditions all fences, even those, in private homes, should be torn down so that distances will no longer be arduous.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jan 10, 2007 at 4:13 pm
so person with the heart condition walked the distance from the greenmeadow neighborhood through the cubberley athletic fields, passed the community center buildings buys heavy groceries that they had to take back home and the extra hundred feet is going to impact them.
I dont think you thought that example through. ;^)
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jan 10, 2007 at 5:10 pm
What a laugh,
You are so right on target!!!
Well, I did need something to laugh about today, so the PA process is good for something after all!
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jan 10, 2007 at 5:52 pm
Maybe closing the fence to impact the hypothetical heart patient's ability to get to Rick's Rather Rich Ice Cream Parlor will extend his/her life.
This might have been a very noble re-fencing when you consider that possibility. ;^)
a resident of Jordan Middle School
on Jan 12, 2007 at 7:00 am
To what a laugh,
Thank you for making me laugh this cold friday morning. After living in Palo Alto for 26 years- I could not agree with you more!! Oh, you forgot the "lets have a study to see if we need a study".
a resident of Crescent Park
on Jan 12, 2007 at 8:14 pm
You are right, Jim, I forgot that. Also the city will nee to hire consultants to look into the feasiblitiy of studying whether a study is needed in orde rto study whether a fenc should be erected at the shopping center.
I will contact the civic affairs committee chair for the Greenmeadow Community Association immediately to start galvanizing the neighborhood about this issue. Maybe other so-called Neighborhood leader can get involved also.

Lightbulbs break all the time. So why would a single broken bulb in a Maine household trigger the state'sDepartment of Environmental Protection to refer the homeowner to a decontaminator?
The answer lies in the type of bulb that brokea compact fluorescent lightbulband what was inside that bulb. Compact fluorescents, like their tubular fluorescent precursors, contain a small amount of mercurytypically around five milligrams. Mercury is essential to a fluorescent bulb's ability to emit light; no other element has proved as efficient.
As effective as it is at enabling white light, however, mercurysometimes called quicksilveris also highly toxic. It is especially harmful to the brains of both fetuses and children. That's why officials have curtailed or banned its use in applications from thermometers to automotive and thermostat switches. (A single thermostat switch, still common in many homes, may contain 3,000 milligrams (0.1 ounce) of mercury, or as much as 600 compact fluorescents.)
The problem comes when a bulb breaks. Mercury escapes as vapor that can be inhaled and as a fine powder that can settle into carpet and other textiles. At least one case of mercury poisoning has been linked to fluorescents: A 1987 article in Pediatricsdescribes a 23-month-old who suffered weight loss and severe rashes after a carton of eight-foot (2.4-meter) tubular bulbs broke in a play area.

Detail from the death certificate of Louise Hinz Buss
born 1854, died 1932
The Hinz surname comes to me via my grandma Gertie (Margreta Tjode Hedwig) Buss. Her grandfather was:
- Ludwig Hinz. Well, maybe that was his name. We'll study that in a minute. His wife's name is not known, nor are the dates of his birth or death. For now, let's just say that he was my great-great grandfather, and move on.
- Louise Hinz, who was born 17 March 1854 in Poland. A secondary source gives the place name Ladoest, but my cousin Mary and I have been unable to find a place by that name. We've considered the possibility that it may have been Lodz, but we haven't pursued that yet. Louise married Ferdinand Buss on 11 April 1881 in Fargo, North Dakota. They were my great-grandparents. I never met Louise--she died 11 April 1932 and was buried at the Protestant cemetery one mile west of Sheldon, North Dakota, three days later.
But let's look at her sisters' death certificates:
Detail from the death certificate of Eva Heinz Schmidtke Froemke
born 1850, died 1941
The informant on daughter Eva's death certificate was Mrs. Albert Froemke, Eva's daughter-in-law, who gave Germany as Eva's birthplace, and Poland as the birthplace of Eva's parents. In addition, she's named Eva's father Mike instead of Ludwig.
Detail from the death certificate of Amelia Hinz Kuehn
born 1879, died 1945
The informant on daughter Amelia's death certificate was Amelia's husband Ludwig Kuehn. He gave Russia as the birthplace of Amelia and both her parents, and he didn't know her father's first name.
Reader, let's not even get into the 29-year gap between the oldest sister and the youngest, except to say this: Louise, Eva and Amelia are sisters, according to family tradition, but it's possible that Amelia is actually a half-sister.
My cousin Mary has worked on this line quite a bit, and I'll share her findings with you in a later post. But to date we still don't have the records we need to answer our questions. Reader, if you recognize these names and can help us in our search, we'd be most happy to hear from you.

Lines for the GLs
Taking a break from doing some electrical work in the basement (putting up six fluorescents so I can finally see what I'm doing down there.)
I keep reading about people receiving recommendations to purchase Windcutters for the GLs and I wonder why. The WC can be a useful line if you buy the multi-tip version and use it on a river that is big enough for you to utilize the full head of the line. To get your money's worth out of a floater, the river must not only be big but slow enough to get a fly down. I've tried the WC floater with a light tip (DT-5, 12') and it was fine as long as the wind was in my favour but it was useless with the heaviest of 10' Polyleaders and a good wind as the tip is too wimpy to control them. I've since cut up my WC to try to make it more useful.
Most GL fishing is under 80' and my 9/10/11 WC with the head just beyond the tiptop, a 15' leader, and with everything straight, runs 83' from me to the fly. It gets ugly if you try to cast less than the full head. It is possible to pull line back after it has hit the water to reduce the distance but that can get silly after a while. Keeping the rod tip up will drop into the 70' range but that's still long in many situations. The wimpy tip won't cast short if you're trying to lob mono and shot.
So, if we are able to find a line that offers the maximum fishing range (maximum casting distance - minimum practical casting distance), that line would be best for the GLs.
Here's some candidates:
Delta Spey: It turns over Polyleaders better than the WC but still has the short range casting distance problem (though it does cast semi well with a Polyleader if some of the head is in the guides). Thanks to the substantial tip, it will do a better job of lobbing mono and shot.
Underhand shooting heads: The short heads and the abreviated stroke permit nice, controlled casts as little as thirty feet (if you keep the rod tip high) yet can boom out long ones when you need it.
Regular, blunt tapered WF short bellied lines: (Launcher lines)Bass bug type lines can do double duty as UH type shooting heads as their head length is about right plus their short front tapers will turn over Polyleaders. Typical regular WF sinktip work just as well. They lack the long running line but we don't need it.
Regular, blunt tapered WF long bellied lines: (e.g. Rio Steelhead/Atlantic Salmon line) Good mono nymphing lines as the long back taper works well for mending plus the short front taper will turn over Polyleaders or mono and shot. This line won't shoot far thanks to the long rear taper and thick running line but that can be a benefit on a smaller river where hitting the far bank is a possibility.
Reversed WC: I haven't fished this yet, only cast it but it holds some promise as a short range line. Having the heavy part of the head at the wrong end enables the rod to load with only about 20' of line beyond the tiptop. It makes it a very practical overhead casting line and it seems to work OK for UH shooting head work as well. Turning over Polyleaders is a non-event. Interestingly, the 9/10/11 was more than adequate to load my 11 wt. when used in this fashion.
DT Lines: Depending on how you've matched the line to the rod, these lines can cast reasonably short but they don't shoot well and it can be difficult to get a large change of direction cast. Works OK in the right conditions.
Good thread I wish I new the answer since I am still experimenting but was ready to buy a wind cutter and put my own home made sink tips on it. Now I don't know.
What about the Rio Mid Spey was looking at that also but have never cast it.
Our western GL rivers are small in width like yours only a few are wide like the Mo, Big M, St Marys, St Joe, a few of the wisconsin rivers.
80% of my cast must be 60 feet or less and 20% no more 80-90 feet. But these are only if you are fishing one of the larger rivers.
Let me know when you figure it out.
Maybe we need a special spey line for the GL ?
PM Out
In my opinion two lines stand out.
The mid-spey and long delta, with a triangle taper coming in a close 3rd.
long delta with their poly tips is tops.
Leaving aside the big water as that is well served, the bassbug or pike lines seem to do well close in. Funny though, the WC may be the best. Take a multi-tip WC and put a loop at the end of the head where the running line starts. Then you have a line for long distance and when reversed without the tips, it'll work short.
My chopped up WC hasn't been fished yet so I wouldn't suggest anybody else try this until I get it on the water, but I think it has potential.
If it works, I'll send an email to Jim Vincent suggesting he make a loop connection at the end of the head for us GLers.
Peter's thesis on GL lines
This is part of the reason that I ordered the multi-segment mid-spey for my new rod. I thought of doing that the last time I bought a spey line, but I was talked out of it. But looking at what you can do in terms of removing the front segments, it seemed to me that in many situations, being able to remove the front tapered ends and then attaching a sinking leader/head/tip makes much more sense for many of the situations GL fishing calls for. Also, replacing the front two segments with a single intermediate segment and then a sinking leader/tip/whatever could, I'm guessing, be useful in some situations.
Rod Brake
Another thought just struck while reading Greg's post - the Loop Adapted lines might very well be the best. I don't have any specifications on them (head length, front and read taper lengths, grain weight, etc.) but they come with loops already attached at both ends so they can easily be reversed. If the front taper is substantially different from the rear, then we're in business. The right way around, fish long, reverse it and fish short.
my humble opinion....
Here is my opinions:
I agree that a Rio Winductter is not needed in our Great Lakes region, truthfully it is too much unless you fish rivers like the Saugeen, Grand, Muksegon or St. Joseph. I do alot of custom line making, but below is what works best in my opinion:
Flylines and Tapers:
Floating Pike/Bass Bug Taper: A great line that can be accustomed to our region on smaller - medium sized rivers. Large, short head allows anglers to turnover splitshot and indicators(yes, I know you guys do not fish these....) Also, a loop on the end with a mini-head would work as well, although this taper may not be suited for tips.
Floating Salmon/Steelhead Taper: Allows anglers to mend as a result of the longer tapered belly, yet splitshot and indicators can be layed out easliy. With the extened front tapering down, it works nice for tips and heads. My #1 factory choice line. Works best on medium to larger rivers. I personally perfer Rio's.
Floating Double Taper: The standard for roll casting and memding is exceptional when in the Great Lakes. A great line for indicators and splitshot at short distances, and suited well for tips. Best performed on smaller rivers.
Dan's Custom GL Taper: My ultimate line I have created for our region. Features a pike taper head with the running line cut off spliced to a double taper line that has the first 15' - 20' feet off until you reach the belly. Combines attributes of both a line that can roll cast far distances and turonver indicators and splitshot very easliy. The powerhinge(used by Rio) concept is put in play here, as the DT line acts to "support" the front taper as it lifts line off the water and allows call casts. I am very fond of this line and will take it anywhere, big to smaller rivers. I will bring a few to the clave if anyone wants to cast or purchase one of these lines.
Just my $0.02
Nice to know that some else uses the Rio S/AS line as well. I've probably hooked more fish with the S/AS line and a Polyleader than with any other combo.
Your custom lines sound very interesting - I'd like to try one when we get to the clave.
Sounds good....
I will bring a few and I will also make a few custom lines that I will sell as brand new at the clave if I have time.
The Rio AS/S is my favorite line. Roll casting and mending are very easily accomplished. I cut the first 10' off the head and make a loop which would allow me to cast indicators/splitshot easier, and then if I want to add tips I just take that section I cut and looped it back onto the mainline with a polyleader.
Works well, no complaints!
I was looking at the RIO AS/SS line at my local fly shop but my fly shop owner really does not know enough about spey rods and lines to recommend one over the other.
I want to use my own sink tips I have many of them.
Mid Spey and Long Delta also are also candidates.
Which of those 3 lines requires the least amount of reel line capacity ?
God I love the precision of this spey technology !
Maybe you do have to be a rocket scientist.
PM Out
Are you speaking about what lines? The ones I recommended or the spey series by Rio?
I can put the Long Delta on my loop easily if I put the mid spey on ther it is tight. But works.
Loop's lines are neat, only thing that bugs me is stripping in all that line in the winter to enable the shooting of it. Cold hands and fingers buddy.
I chopped up a WC once it worked nicely with 15' tips. All in all you can't beat the a-flo polys for getting deep fast.
Well, the fluorescents are up and working - nice to be able to see in the basement.
The Rio S/AS line will take less room on the reel than the rest and it's thick, front taper will turn over Polyleaders and similar tips without the need for chopping it. Without the tips, it's an excellent mono & shot line. The Deltas tend to run smaller diameter lines than the Rio versions so they're more likely to fit.
Just keep in mind that the S/AS line doesn't shoot that great.
The stripping in winter is a pain (literally) so it's nice to have an alternative like a DT or the S/AS line.
"without the tips, it's an excellent mono & shot line."
Please clarify, I have a brain freeze on this statement.
PM Out
Happens to me too frequently
The line and front taper can easily manage a long leader with splitshot, weighted fly, etc. I've fished it with a 14' nymphing leader and a heavy ESL with no difficulty. The front taper has what Rio calls a "bullet taper" which stays fairly thick as it tapers down until the last couple of feet. That taper has plenty of turnover force.

Rates of HIV among inmates in federal prisons appear to be rising dramatically, suggests a report, prompting advocacy groups to call for sweeping changes to prevent further spread of the disease, both inside the institutions and in the community at large.
The 2007 survey by Correctional Service Canada found an estimated 4.6 per cent of prisoners reported having HIV-AIDS, more than double the 1.6 per cent rate cited in an earlier report.
Toronto -
Rates of HIV among inmates in federal prisons appear to be rising dramatically, suggests a report, prompting advocacy groups to call for sweeping changes to prevent further spread of the disease, both inside the institutions and in the community at large.
The 2007 survey by Correctional Service Canada found an estimated 4.6 per cent of prisoners reported having HIV-AIDS, more than double the 1.6 per cent rate cited in an earlier report.
"When we found the HIV prevalence rate, we were astounded at the number of 4.6 per cent," said Sandra Ka Hon Chu, a senior policy analyst with the Canadian HIV-AIDS Legal Network in Toronto. That prevalence rate is 15 times higher than that found among the population as a whole.
"So this is the new reality we're working with," she said Wednesday, deeming the HIV infection rate "comparable to many countries in the region of sub-Saharan Africa."
The report also found the estimated rate of hepatitis C among federal prisoners was 31 per cent -39 times greater than that found in the community. Incarcerated women, and especially aboriginal women, are also disproportionately infected with HIV and hepatitis C, it showed.
Advocacy groups want Ottawa to implement needle-exchange programs for injection drug-using prisoners to try to stop the spread of HIV and hepatitis C, which can be passed through infected blood when syringes are shared.
The Canadian HIV-AIDS Legal Network says about half of prisoners surveyed reported sharing used needles or syringes to inject drugs - typically opiates like heroin and cocaine - which are smuggled into prisons by visitors and occasionally even by staff, said Ka Hon Chu.
She said drug-using prisoners have reported stealing syringes from medical services within their institutions and fashioning makeshift needles.
"And that's the scariest part - things being made from rubber tubing or pens that create large scars or wounds in the arm," she said. "So anything they can imagine using they will get their hands on, they will create a needle with it."
With no clean needle program in place in any federal or provincial prison or jail in Canada, it is not unusual for "filthy" needles to be shared among 30 or 40 inmates, said HIV specialist Dr. Peter Ford, a former professor at Queen's University.
Yet Ka Hon Chu said in countries around the world which have adopted in-prison needle-exchange programs, the results have been mostly positive.
"I think it's just we don't want to feel like we're failing by providing these implements to people to inject drugs or enable them," she said of Canada. "But the studies have shown that where the programs exist ... there's no increase in the use of drugs or injection drugs. There is actually a decrease in syringes and needles (use) and increasing referrals to drug addiction treatment programs."
However, crime bills recently proposed by the Harper government have included mandatory-sentencing policies, which prisoner advocacy groups say would lead to even higher rates of HIV and hepatitis C, aggravating the already existing public health crisis in federal prisons.
A CSC spokeswoman said the federal department "is not considering the introduction of prison-based needle-exchange programs."
"The government has a zero-tolerance policy for drugs in our institutions," Christelle Chartrand said by e-mail. "Providing needles for illicit drug use runs counter to that policy. Illicit drugs in federal prisons compromise the safety and security of correctional staff as well as our communities."
"CSC has a comprehensive anti-drug strategy combined with a number of health promotion practices and harm reduction measures to mitigate the spread of infectious diseases.
The anti-drug strategy includes prevention, intervention/treatment and enforcement."
Advocacy groups reacting to the CSC report Wednesday also called on Ottawa to institute programs that will ensure prisoners receive proper health care.
In the CSC report, about 60 per cent of prisoners surveyed said they had experienced "interruptions" that prevented them receiving their medications at certain times.

Augmentin ES
(amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium) Powder for Oral Suspension
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of AUGMENTIN ES-600 (amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium) and other antibacterial drugs, AUGMENTIN ES-600 should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
AUGMENTIN ES-600 is an oral antibacterial combination consisting of the semisynthetic antibiotic amoxicillin and the β-lactamase inhibitor, clavulanate potassium (the potassium salt of clavulanic acid). Amoxicillin is an analog of ampicillin, derived from the basic penicillin nucleus, 6-aminopenicillanic acid. The amoxicillin molecular formula is C16H19N3O5S•3H2O, and the molecular weight is 419.46. Chemically, amoxicillin is (2S,5R,6R)6-[(R)-(-)-2-Amino-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid trihydrate and may be represented structurally as:
Clavulanic acid is produced by the fermentation of Streptomyces clavuligerus. It is a β-lactam structurally related to the penicillins and possesses the ability to inactivate a wide variety of β-lactamases by blocking the active sites of these enzymes. Clavulanic acid is particularly active against the clinically important plasmid-mediated β-lactamases frequently responsible for transferred drug resistance to penicillins and cephalosporins. The clavulanate potassium molecular formula is C8H8KNO5 and the molecular weight is 237.25. Chemically, clavulanate potassium is potassium (Z)-(2R,5R)-3-(2-hydroxyethylidene)-7-oxo-4-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]-heptane-2-carboxylate and may be represented structurally as:
Inactive Ingredients: Powder for Oral Suspension—Colloidal silicon dioxide, strawberry cream flavor, xanthan gum, aspartamea, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and silicon dioxide.
Each 5 mL of reconstituted 600 mg/5 mL oral suspension of AUGMENTIN ES-600 contains 0.23 mEq potassium.
