Fly Fishing the Northern Sierra
with Jon Baiocchi
7:30 p.m.
Thursday, February 12, 2015
San Marino Masonic Lodge
3130 Huntington Drive
San Marino, CA 91108
Many of us forget how big a state California really is. And because most of us have limited time for fly fishing, the urge to explore is defeated by the promise of a sure thing and the comfort of familiarity. Thus, once we're introduced to the Eastern Sierra waters, including Hot Creek, the Owens, and the East Walker, that's where many of us head for our fly fishing vacations. Some of us have gotten a little more adventuresome, especially after recent PCC programs, and may now include the Western and Southern Sierra as fishing destinations (living life on the edge, as it were).
The logical next step of my brilliant introductory paragraph is that a compass has four points, so why haven't we heard about fishing in the Northern Sierra? Is it taboo territory, or the fishing equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle?
To dispel any lingering fears or ignorance, this month our program focuses on some great trout water in the Northern Sierra. Our speaker, Jon Baiocchi, will be looking at Plumas and Sierra Counties, which include the pristine watershed of the North Fork of the Yuba River, the designated "Wild and Scenic" Middle Fork of the Feather River, and the amazing Lake Davis.
Jon Baiocchi is a fishing guide, published author, and innovative fly tier. A native of California, Jon has been fly fishing and fly tying since 1972. Jon's father, Bob Baiocchi, was inducted into the FFF Hall of Fame in 1999, and obviously was a major influence on his son. Prior to his fly fishing career, Jon was a professional snowboarder in Colorado, competing at the national level and starring in feature films. Although Jon grew up in Paradise (around Chico), he is now based out of Nevada City, and guides, lectures, and teaches year-around. You can learn more about Jon by going to
Jon will address fly fis
hing in these two counties, including the acc
ess points, the entomology, and how to fish the area during all four seasons. He'll share insider tips and current information, such as the origin of the spectacular Hexagenia mayfly hatch at Lake Davis that magically appeared two years ago. The biomass of this lake makes it one of the healthiest and most productive fisheries in our state.
Catching Jon Baiocchi's show this Thursday evening, February 12th, at 7:30 p.m., will give you some hard information on some great rivers to consider fishing this coming year. Please join us at the San Marino Masonic Lodge,3130 Huntington Drive, San Marino, 91108.

Investigations into police, trader shooting under way
Tuesday January 5 2016
Police are investigating the shooting of a Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officer and a businessman by the area boss of the Flying Squad in Thika town on Saturday.
Constable Kevin Yakhama and local businessman Nelson Kahara Kamau were injured in what county police boss James Mugera said was "friendly fire".
Mr Mugera said the shooting followed a commotion during the arrest of two people suspected to have stolen a vehicle.
The suspects are said to have forged documents and placed an advertisement in the local dailies selling the car.
Corporal Regina Mbithi, Constable Ann Kariutha and Constable Kevin Yakhama of Nanyuki DCI, who had tracked the suspects to Thika town, made contact posing as buyers.
The officers met the two near Mathai Supermarket but as they attempted to make an arrest, the suspects started a commotion, attracting a crowd and police officers on patrol, among them the area Flying Squad boss.
Mr Mugera said the Flying Squad boss mistook them for robbers and opened fire, injuring Constable Yakhama and Mr Kamau.
The officer was shot twice in the stomach while Mr Kamau was shot in the hand.
"It was only after he had fired that he realised they were police officers who were trailing criminal suspects," Mr Mugera said.
However, the Nanyuki team is reported to have earlier alerted their Thika colleagues of their mission.
They even left their car at the local police station and went on their mission on foot.
The county police chief said the two suspects were handed over to the Nanyuki DCI.

Whatever your views of migration, a consensus ought to be possible on one thing: if migrants do send money home, as much as possible of the hard-earned dollars that they send should actually get there, to be spent on putting feeding the kids, putting them through school or even having a bit of fun (that's allowed too).
But according to some excellent new research by the ODI, one in eight dollars remitted to Africa is creamed off by intermediaries – a much higher level than for other regions. They launched the report at a meeting in London last week, and the high preponderance of Africans at the launch bore witness to the anger this level of rent-seeking arouses.
Some highlights from the exec sum:
'Remittances to Africa are rising. In 2013, transfers to the region were valued at $32 billion, or around 2% of GDP. Charges on remittances to Africa are well above global average levels. Migrants sending $200 home can expect to pay 12% in charges, which is almost double the global average (see graph). While the governments of the G8 and the G20 have pledged to reduce charges to 5%, there is no evidence of any decline in the fees incurred by Africa's diaspora.
Four factors combine to drive up charges. The first is limited competition. Global markets are dominated by an oligopoly of money transfer operators (MTOs) and regional sub-Saharan African markets by a duopoly. Just two companies – Western Union and MoneyGram – account for an estimated two-thirds of remittance pay-out locations in Africa. As in any market, limited competition is a barrier to cost reduction and efficiency gains.
Second, there is evidence of 'exclusivity agreements' between money transfer operators, agents and banks. These agreements restrict competition in an already highly concentrated market.
Third, financial market regulation, the high costs of intermediation and limited access to financial institutions in Africa represent additional cost-escalators.
Fourth, financial exclusion and poor regulation in Africa escalate costs. Few Africans have access to formal accounts (which limits their choice of pay-out providers) and most governments require payments to take place through banks, most of which combine high costs with limited reach and low efficiency.'
The panel and Q&A generated some interesting additional thoughts:
The Rwandan High Commissioner, Williams Nkurunziza: 'I thought capitalism was about fairness and effort, not squeezing money out of Rwanda through some kind of cartel. This is absolutely distressing. We need to advocate for fair trade in goods and services, including money transfers. Western Union controls the vast majority of the outlets in Rwanda, and charges are closer to 18-19%, not 12% as ODI says.'
Mr Nkurunziza pointed to Western regulations as a barrier to entry for new players (the massive cost of jumping through the ever-increasing hoops of due diligence on money laundering and counter-terrorism). 'Your regulations are taking food from our widows and children. We need to open the market here; tone down the level of oversight that means only the big guys can play.'
Then he got really interesting (and earned a round of applause), pointing out the double standards inherent in the West's rules on capital and labour. 'The West exports capital, we export people. Double taxation treaties protect Western transnational corporations in Africa, allowing them to avoid the higher levels of taxation. How can we find a way to ensure our migrants are sheltered from your high taxation – surely the same arguments should apply?'
From the audience, Onyekachi Wambu of AffordUK pointed out that his organization has worked on this, with its Remitaid proposal, arguing for tax rebates on money remitted by migrants in the UK, but progress ground to a halt with the 2008 crash. Maybe time to pick it up again?
Another African speaker cautioned against presenting the remittance question as 'baddie white transnationals v victimised Africans', pointing out that African governments are often some of the worst offenders.
In fairness, ODI picked this up in its report:
'Remittance corridors within Africa have some of the highest charge structures in the world. Migrant workers from Mozambique sending money home from South Africa, or Ghanaians remitting money from Nigeria, can face charges well in excess of 20%.'
What I liked about this migration discussion, compared to the ideologized, polarized mud-slinging that usually takes place, was its emphasis on making existing migration work better for poor people, and its sensible recommendations:
'This report calls for a number of measures to lower Africa's 'remittance super tax', including:
- Investigation of global MTOs by anti-trust bodies in the EU and the US to identify areas in which market concentration and commercial practices are artificially inflating charges.
- Greater transparency in the provision of information on foreign-exchange conversion charges, drawing on the example of Dodd-Frank legislation in the United States.
- Regulatory reform in Africa to revoke 'exclusivity agreements' between MTOs on the one side, and banks and agents on the other, and promote the use of micro-finance institutions and post offices as remittance pay-out agencies. Governments and MTOs should work to promote mobile banking as a strategy to support the development of more inclusive financial systems.
- Engagement by Africa's diaspora and wider civilsociety groups to put remittances at the centre of the development agenda. The public interests represented by Africa's diaspora and remittance receivers should be placed above the commercial interests of MTOs and banks.'
And here's report co-author Kevin Watkins doing a 4m summary

This is all fine, but it is nothing that UNCTAD weren't saying a couple of years ago in their LDC Report 2012….http://unctad.org/en/pages/PublicationWebflyer.aspx?publicationid=249
It is an excellent report and a good illustration how technology advance does not of itself create new opportunities. We need better regulation, greater transparency, and an end to 'duopoly' practice!
I also attended the meeting and thought it an interesting and positive discussion with a great campaigning focus against monopolistic (well duopolistic) practices in this sector. On the mudslinging though…one of the speakers, Abdirashid Duale (the Chief Executive of Dahabshiil, the Somali money transfer organisation currently in a dispute with Barclays about retail banking services) pointed out that Vodaphone – the dominant global player in mobile phone money transfer – had had a grant from DFID to cover some of the start-up costs of setting up M-Pesa in Tanzania. In contrast the SME founded by his father has never had any development assistance despite operating primarily in Somalia where remittances are such a crucial element of managing domestic crises and having to deal with the burden of additional regulatory costs after 2001. Is it true that Vodaphone received DFID support to expand mobile money services? If so, isn't there a danger that UK development policy risks replacing the duopoly of Western Union/Moneygram with a monopoly of Vodaphone as remittances shift to mobile phones?
As a small UK charity sending money to Guinea Conakry we too face massive charges and struggle to find pays to get money to the school we support within a reasonable time frame and at a decent rate.
Felix Salmon believes that lower remittances costs may actually lead to lower remittances. This is because the banks (and western union and moneygram) have a lower incentive to push remittances when their margins are too low. The hassle of money laundering restrictions and investigations is a serious business cost. So the net effect of more competition and lower fees is less remittance promotion by services and lower remittances.
See: http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2014/03/04/the-unintended-consequences-of-cheaper-remittances/
I'm not endorsing this view, but worth putting it out there. It might argue for some sort of cooperative arrangement with the market powers if the goal is to maintain and/or increase remittances. Rather than try to radically open the field to competition and eliminate their tasty fees.
What says Duncan and Kevin?

Sportfighting..........self-defense?? Kidspatula's videos.
I just saw Kidspatula's boxing videos because she was on the main page.
Its boxing. She did a good job, nice fast jabs. Not professional standard but good enough.
This thread is not about her, so I don't mean to put her under the spot light. I am just using her videos as an example.
I train MT too, so I know what boxing with gloves on means.
If this is the kind of fighting style you people think can protect you on the streets, or from a weapon attack, you WILL get killed.
You are able to spar full-contact, because the punch punch kick kick skills are simple and not exactly deadly. It's safe, therefore, you can spar full contact with it. But please.....that kind of fighting style is FAR from street effective (i am talking about sport fighting).
For the sports fighters in this board, I really suggest you take up some self-defense classes such as Karate or CMA. The techniques are truely street effective. Althought I do agree that some CMA training in the USA is not street effective (don't want to offend anyone)......since they don't spar (I said USA). But knowing what they are taught to do, and the kind of techniques that are being taught, I doubt anyone can come up with a way to practice full-contact within the US limitations. Anyone that disagree are either not experienced with traditional MA or studied in a McDojo.
Growing up in the ghettos, I understand what being attacked truely means. Attacked by multiple attackers (racial hate crimes, they never attack by themselves. They pick their time/place/victim), the only way to win is to run, and the LAST place to be is on the ground. I've been approached by weapons (broken glass bottles, 2 by 4s, wooden sticks). I can honestly tell you, that sports fighting is a good way to train, but the techniques are not sufficient. Any street fighter can punch, its not that hard to grow a punch, and people expect that. Any street fighter can do a MT knee kick, even my non-MA friends can kick. Its not exactly hard.
Karate or CMA have great techniques that is far beyond punch punch kick kick. You'll be amazed what some people can do.
I've seen how people train in asia. Let me tell you, some MA schools in the US are really watered down. Insurance limitations, legal limitations. With the techniques that they know, you should see how Japanese police and Chinese army trains. Just like how MT fighters in Thailand trains differently than sportfighters in the US trains, they take their art very seriously.
What I wanted to say is:
1) Sports fighting techniques will not prepare you for the streets, just like the video I've posted above. Those that disagree with me are sports fans that have never experienced real street violence.
2) Some Karate and CMA are watered down in the US. Most people in the west is not lucky enough to experience real martial arts training. This is why I say people that talk a lot of **** are the ones with the least amount of experience. Both in training and in real life experience. Bullshido.com.
3) Karate and CMA have better techniques, and is truely street effective, only if you train seriously. And unless you train seriously, its nothing but dancing. I've seen a lot of Americans embarrass themselves, and the art they train, by doing it so poorly that it makes asians laugh.
4) I've picked the "Drama" icon for this thread. Watch it go to 5 pages by tomorrow.

He makes some reasonable points. The idea of learning grappling (not ground fighting) for Self Defense is to avoid going to the ground and if you do, to be able to recover and get back to your feet as fast as possible.
I don't think anyone with a non-downs IQ would advocate trying to groundfight through multiple opponents. Either you're missing this, or you've created a nice little strawman.

Sammy - can you please fill out your style field appropriately?
I'd like to know what you train in.

I refuse to be viewed as a style instead of an individual.
There are no better styles. Only better techniques, better training methods, and better physical conditions, making better fighters.
I refused to be labled with a style.
I am not a JKD student, but I believe in the idea of JKD and MMA.
A lot of people lable themselves as a style, and is viewed as nothing more than that style.
"You are TKD, therefore, you are such and such."
In a fight, styles does not matter.
Anyone can kick, punch, knee, poke, choke. Even a non-MA can do it, difference is, MAs do it better. It is how you train that defines you.

that's not ok
as i understand it, the style field exists so that people like me can figure out if people like you are talking from experience or theory.
all i want to know is what you've trained in

But in Thailand, if you call yourself a MT fighter, you train like one.
In China, you call yourself a CMA, you train like one.

Is boxing an experience art? Or a theory art?
Is MT an experience art? Or a theory art?
Is WC an experience art? Or a theroy art?
See what I am talking about? People define who you are by your style, but that is impossible. Even people in the same boxing gym can have different experience and theory. It is who you are and how you train that defines you, not your style.
So can give me a list of what style is "experience style", and what style is "theory style"?
Anything is a "theory" if you just talk about it and not train it. MT, BJJ, WC, etc.
See what I mean?
1/23/2006 7:51pm, #10
I am pretty sure that I have never seen anyone say that the Guard or Groundfighting is the ultimate technique for multiple attackers.
I am 100% positive that sport martial arts with full contact help people prepare for conflict much better than TMA without full contact. I enjoy both but because many TMA don't usually have sparring during class, it must be sought out by the practicioner and any aliveness must be added to their skills.
I would actually say that a blend of TMA and Sport MA is the perfect blend, like Bluming, Draeger, Barber, guys of that caliber used to do. KK, Judo and Traditional JJ all fit together nicely. I don't see the Muay Thai and BJJ to much different from that mixture so that is a great complement.
This thread and the assumptions that Sammy made are inaccurate and points out his lack of real conflict experience. Being hard goes a lot farther in a fight than knowing fancy traditional moves.

Blanca Games, Absolute Poker to Pay Back Players
Blanca Games is well known for being the owner and operator of the CEREUS Poker Network, which includes two of the most popular online poker services in the world: Absolute Poker and UB.com.
In recent days, it has been reported that Absolute Poker and UB.com will liquidate assets so they can reimburse both international and United States based players.
The Kahnawake Gaming Commission is charged with overseeing both of these online poker services. They released a statement stating that they have been in "close and regular" talks with Blanca Games Inc. regarding the reimbursement of players. To the surprise of many, it appears that discussions have been taking place since Black Friday. In April 2011, both Absolute Poker and UB.com had their domains seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a result of actions taken by the United States Department of Justice.
Before players can be paid back, the plan must be approved by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
Absolute Poker and UB.com were not the only online poker services affected by Black Friday. However, they have been extremely slow in determining how to best reimburse players. This is in stark contrast to PokerStars which quickly paid players back and continued its international operations. Full Tilt Poker is currently out of operation and could be purchased by the Bernard Tapie Group in the near future. At this time FTP owes hundreds of millions of dollars to players all over the world.
It is believed that players from these two sites are owed in the ballpark of $50 million.
Many players in the CEREUS Poker Network were based in the United States. In turn, traffic has been reduced to roughly 1/3 of peak activity. While they attempt to work out the details of player reimbursements, affiliates have been left out in the cold. Many are still owed several months of payments and are unsure of whether they will ever see this money.
With so much uncertainty, it is safe to say that most affiliates will avoid CEREUS Poker Network sites in the near future – even if they are in position to refer international players.
What are your thoughts on the reimbursement plan laid out by Blanca Games? Discuss this detail in-depth in our latest Blanca Games forum thread.

Bob Asmussen of the Champaign News-Gazette had the audacity to rank the Michigan Wolverines as #1 in the AP Poll. The gall of that individual! How dare he not think exactly like everyone else? Michigan is ranked 8th by the collective wisdom of the AP voters, so they clearly have no chance. Everyone knows that it's USC vs. the winner of Alabama and LSU.
By the way, the average preseason rank of the eventual national champion in the BCS championship era is 7.4. Five national champions since 1998 were ranked lower than Michigan this year: Tennessee in 1998 (10th), Oklahoma in 2000 (19th), Ohio State in 2002 (13th), LSU in 2003 (14th), and Auburn in 2010 (22nd). Florida in 2006 was ranked one spot higher than Michigan this year.
In fact, as many teams ranked 7th or lower have won national championships as those who were ranked in the top three. Yet, only two of the sixty voters put a team that did not finish in the top three in cumulative voting in their #1 spot. A team that was in the national championship game two years ago and won the Pac-12 last year did not get any first place votes – 25 fewer than another team from their conference. I'm going on record as picking Oregon to win the Pac-12.
Back to Michigan. Maybe Asmussen is completely off his rocker. Maybe the team he ranked number one won't win the title. Based on recent history, though, there's a good chance every voter is wrong. We don't know nearly as much as we think we do. So kudos to you, Bob.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Potluck (Meal or Gathering) Deadline 7-26-12 @ 10 AM NY Time (07/19/12)
TITLE: Abundance
By Addie Pleasance
At stage right is a white screen.
As the lights rise on the pulpit, we hear the last few measures of an old hymn.
CONGREGATION: (singing) …Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
PASTOR: Amen and amen! Now before we dismiss with prayer, I want to remind y'all of the potluck dinner immediately following the service. I'm sure you've been noticing the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen (a smattering of laughter and an Amen! from the pews). If you're visiting us this morning, I hope you'll stay, there's always plenty. Sister Louise, did you bring your fried chicken?
WOMAN: I did!
PASTOR: That chicken is a national treasure…
The pastor's voice fades as the white screen is backlit. In silhouette, we see a child squatting on the ground, holding up a bowl. A hand ladles something into the bowl, and although the child continues to hold it up, the hand withdraws.
Fade lights on screen. Back to the church. For the rest of the skit, lighting alternates between the church and the screen.
PASTOR: …I just know there'll be biscuits and gravy, and my dear wife made her famous tuna casserole, can I get an amen? And please tell me there'll be something down there with jell-o and marshmallows in it!
A woman in the congregation raises a shy hand.
At the backlit screen, we see several people crowded together, jostling, hands outstretched to catch the boxes tossed to them. One box falls to the ground, and the people fight for it, pushing each other out of the way. Fists fly.
PASTOR: Sister Anne, maybe you better go pour that sweet tea, we'll be headed down to eat before you know it. (One of the women slips out of her pew and exits.) And I happened to see a great big jug of lemonade for the young folks. Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink, am I right?
Behind the screen, a woman stoops to pick up a large jug. She hoists it to her shoulder and then to her head; it's apparent that the jug is heavy. Holding it steady with one hand, she trudges slowly into the distance.
PASTOR: Well, I've gone on long enough, I guess. Brother Herman, you're looking mighty eager to head for the kitchen. Don't you push anyone out of the way to get to that fried chicken, now! (A man in the congregation laughs and starts to stand. His wife grabs his arm and pulls him back.) Matter of fact, Brother Herman, you can bless the food for us in just one minute, and then I'll ask you all to let the mothers with babies go first. We can't have any crying babies, can we?
A little boy tugs his mother's sleeve and says "Mommy, can we go first? I'm little!" She shushes him.
On the screen, we see the shadow of a woman holding an infant. She is trying to get the child to nurse. After a few attempts, she switches the baby to the other breast, and after a moment she holds it to her shoulder. She rocks back and forth; the baby is still.
PASTOR: Oh, one more thing. Hold on, Brother Herman, I'm almost ready for you. There's a chocolate cake down there, and Sister Tilly, did you put in that secret ingredient?
WOMAN: Half a cup of strong coffee!
PASTOR: Chocolate, coffee, sugar, praise the Lord. Three of His best creations in one dessert, hoo-boy.
A boy swipes at a large plant with a machete. His work may be too slow, because a large man towers over him with a whip. The boy glances back, then chops at the plant again.
PASTOR: …Amen, Brother Herman! Now let's enjoy some fine food and fellowship—there's seconds, if you're quick!
Now the child we first saw is cleaning the bowl with his fingers. He holds it up: is there more? No one comes. As the lights dim, we hear the clinking of silverware and dishes, overlapping conversations, a child's laughter.

Zack Greinke or David Price: Which Ace Will Have Bigger '16 Impact on New Team?March 8, 2016
They signed within days of each other last December for more money per year than any pitcher had ever received. They left first-place teams but didn't leave their division, both joining sub-.500 clubs itching to win.
The Boston Red Sox saw David Price as the answer to their biggest question. The Arizona Diamondbacks saw Zack Greinke the same way.
Now here we are in March, trying hard to figure out which team did best and which super free-agent ace will do best.
This isn't about length of contract, how Greinke will do when he's making $35 million in 2021 at 37 years old or how Price will do when he's making $32 million at age 36. No, this is strictly about 2016, because when it comes down to it, the Red Sox and Diamondbacks spent all that money for an instant return.
The easy answer is they both will get it, because Price and Greinke both have the talent and the history and the personality to justify the huge belief their new employers showed. But you don't come here for easy answers.
If the question is which one will have a significant impact, the answer can and should be "both." But the question is which one will have the bigger 2016 impact, and the answer is David Price.
Some of that has to do with him. A lot of it has to do with the team he joined.
It's true the Red Sox were a disappointing last-place club in 2015, while the Diamondbacks were seen as a third-place team on the rise. But it's the Red Sox who are better positioned for a big 2016 jump, especially in the wide-open American League East.
"Strong and deep," one Fort Myers-based scout said this week when asked for his early impressions from Red Sox camp in Florida.
The starting pitchers behind Price remain a real question, but one of the reasons Price was attractive to Boston is his history of being able to lead a rotation. In fact, if you want to see how much impact a true No. 1 starter can have, the 2016 Red Sox should be a nice case study.
Greinke has some of the same abilities, but his personality makes him less of a natural leader. He should pitch well in Arizona, but will he lift the other starters as much as Price could in Boston?
Even if he does, will the Diamondbacks bullpen be able to hold the leads?
Scouts and executives surveyed by Bleacher Report saw Greinke as the starter more in need of a solid bullpen, but they see the Red Sox bullpen as far superior to the one Greinke will have with the Diamondbacks.
"Price can throw nine innings in his sleep," one scout said. "He'll get to the eighth inning a lot more and give the ball to [closer Craig] Kimbrel and the setup guy. Greinke will get a lot of no-decisions in Arizona, and he'll get frustrated because he wants to win."
Greinke has just two complete games in the last five seasons combined. Price has 12.
To be fair, Greinke actually finished seven innings more times last year than Price did (21-19). The point still holds, though, because seven innings from Price gets the ball to Koji Uehara and Craig Kimbrel, while seven from Greinke gets it to Tyler Clippard and Brad Ziegler.
Some scouts surveyed by Bleacher Report did favor Greinke, mostly because pitching in the National League West should help him put up better numbers than Price can manage in the American League East.
But the AL East also presents Price with opportunity because the Red Sox look better positioned to win their division. The Diamondbacks had a good winter, but so did the San Francisco Giants, and even without Greinke, the Los Angeles Dodgers remain a strong threat.
"Greinke could pitch well, and the Diamondbacks could still be a .500 team," one rival executive said. "If Price pitches well, the Red Sox could win. If he doesn't, they don't win."
For now, both teams seem happy with their big-ticket purchases. Price has made the expected good first impression with the Red Sox, and Greinke has done the same with the Diamondbacks.
Greinke's first spring start got big coverage. So did Price's simulated game last Saturday.
The attention will only grow as Opening Day nears for two pitchers who were paid big money to pitch that game and many big games to follow. They are getting that money for big impact, and there's a real chance both will deliver.
The guess here is Price will deliver just a little bit more.

Will cloud-enabled 'everything as-a-service' forever change IT?
Verizon Wireless outlines how the future of cloud-enabled ecosystems could change the way networking works for the better, using the "everything as-a-service" network management protocol.
This Article Covers
A natural evolvement from closed grid networks to open, cloud enabled ecosystems will allow for "everything as-a-service" (EaaS), forever changing the way IT organisations function, according to a white paper by Verizon.
The latest developments and trends in SDN
Join us as we sit down with a number of senior IT managers from multi-national enterprises to discuss the latest trends in the world of software-defined networks.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
In the paper, entitled "The cloud: everything to everyone or too good to be true?," Verizon warns that EaaS will vastly change traditional operating model dynamics by placing customer experience centre stage.
According to the firm, the new approaches and deliveries will alter the composition of typical business passages.
Amidst challenging economic forecasts and mounting cost pressures, networking executives will seriously need to consider the cloud as a future opportunity. Companies will be looking to the cloud to make network management protocols easier and more cost-effective for all users to securely extend and manage their access to cloud-based resources, while maintaining control over policies and governance.
The paper cites Gartner Research, and the firm suggests that by 2015, automation and cloud computing tools will eliminate 25% of labour hours associated with IT services.
Examples of this in action include the UK government's G-Cloud initiative which will see all government departments step up their drive to share server, network and Internet resources via the cloud in an attempt to cut costs in hardware, software and bandwidth and data storage.
Read more of this research paper to learn how supermarket giant Tesco has used the cloud to support its loyalty scheme, Tesco Clubcard. Also learn how the Cloud Industry Forum (CIF), with the help of more than 200 organisations, has developed cloud standards that cover a wide range of issues, including security, operational issues, delivery, financial viability of suppliers, governance and technology standards and interoperability.

I'm not certain if it's worthwhile to bring it up at my next medical appointment or even if there's something that can be done about it.
Sounds like thoracic outlet syndrome brought on by the lack of mobility from the healing process.
Definitely mention it to your doc, but in general opening the shoulder laterally from the chest can alleviate this.

Hi, Also, try a factory reset found on page 129 of the manual. On the left side of the camera is the terminal cover, inside below the USB connector is the reset switch. If that does not work call Nikon digital 1-800-645-6689. ... Nikon D80 Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens
On my D50 the COMMAND DIAL has stopped working so shutter and apertrure cannot be set - but - normal photographs cxan be taken using 'AUTO' or MODE settings on the MODE DIAL. Only P,A,S,M modes cannot be used. Otherwise all functions of the camera work well and photo results are good. The camera has NOT been dropped or jarred.

Command dial on a friend's Fuji Finepix S9000 is NOT functioning. Can't control aperture, shutter speed, flash settings, etc. Can it be opened and fixed (he has no warranty, thus no problem with opening it). Is there a special setting or way of turning or pressing buttons that he is doing wrong? It says to press (and hold?) a button then twist the dial, but no change is made as far as I can see.

Hi, My D80 has suddenly developed a fault, where it registers the flash as open and in use even when its shut. This has the effect of syncing the shutter speed and limiting it to 1 200th in all modes. In addition, whilst the flash button will still change the flash mode using the command dials, it won't open the flash- almost like the camera thinks the flash is already open. I have tried prising open the flash, and it still doesn't fire even when open. There was no indication of a problem previ

My Canon SD950 IS camera will take about 30 seconds to take a flash picture. You have to hold down the shutter button for a long time. The flash indicator flashes on the display for quite a while and then the picture is finally taken. This seems to have happened after the battery was run down to nothing.

I am having problems with the flash working on my camera. It does not seem to matter if it is in automatic or manual modes.

For someone committed to contemporary photography, Sally Eauclaire figures she has the best job in the country.
Eauclaire became director of the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College in June and moved from New York City, her base as a critic, curator, writer, lecturer and arts consultant. Her appointment ended a seven- month search after Steven Klindt, the former director, left the museum to become curator of the Tweed Museum of Art at the University of Minnesota at Duluth.

In Remembrance
Emil Joseph Cordray
Carnes Brothers Funeral Home
Emil Joseph Cordray, 65, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday, August 22, 2007 at John Sealy Hospital in Galveston, Texas. There will be a memorial service and rosary on Sunday, August 26, 2007 beginning at 6:00 pm at Carnes Brothers Funeral Home in Galveston.
Emil was a lifetime resident of Galveston, born on the island October 6, 1941 to Tom and Mary Dusek Cordray. He graduated from Kirwin High School in 1960. Emil was an avid coin collector and dealer known throughout Texas and Louisiana. He loved nothing more than spending his weekends at coin shows with his son Michael. Emil had an indescribable sense of humor, a fondness for box turtles, and quite possibly drank as many Dr. Pepper's as a person actually can. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends, especially those of the coin community and all his pals at Farbs where he spent countless days enjoying their company.
Preceded in death by his parents, Emil is survived by his son Michael Anthony of Galveston, his former wife and dear friend Helen "Bootsie" Cordray, his brother Tom and wife Alice Joyce Cordray of Roseville, CA, and sister Mary and husband Bill O'Rear of Houston as well as by many dearly loved nieces, nephews and friends.

Sadly, there is no real way to get it to do that. So they are Stationary.
shame really, i dont suppose anyone will really be looking that closely anyway
cool, what type of ship is this?
Its a gunboat, will be taking the place of a frigate.
hey, i am tracking this mod and every time i log on, i get updates from this mod, keep up the good work!
what type of ship is this?
Read the Title nuahs88, its a gunboat. Going to be use for fighter defense.
Very Nice
from this angle it looks a lot like one of the Advent Halcyon Carriers, try loosing the bulge on the fins and make the bridge less pointed, or point it more to the arbitrary down

The Rosary is a certain form of prayer where certain prayers are said while holding each bead on a set of Rosary Beads (see picture to the right). Beads have been commonly used when saying repetitive prayers throughout the centuries and are primarily used to keep track of what prayer is being said. There are certain prayers said on certain beads, and the prayers can be read from a book or easily memorized. Saying the Rosary is extremely easy and takes about 15 minutes or so to say, not much time to spend to receive help with the serious problems all of us face today! The Rosary consists of the following prayers: the Hail Mary, the Our Father, and the Glory Be, among a few other basic prayers. Below we offer Rosary Beads, all specifics on each prayer of the rosary, and how to say them etc, for those who are unfamiliar with the Rosary.
Countless people, famous and unknown, have been praying the Rosary for centuries to obtain help with countless problems in life and the results that people have obtained by doing so have been astounding. We've seen people be cured from serious sicknesses, people have miraculously gotten off drugs, and many other astounding situations have been known to be completely solved through the Rosary!
We should pray the Rosary for many reasons. The first reason you may consider is the first class miracles associated with the Rosary throughout the centuries. The Rosary has repeatedly proven its great power to overcome every problem, small and large, personal, national and international. For example, the Rosary is associated with the Miracle at Fatima in 1917, witnessed by some 70,000 people. The Rosary is also associated with the winning of several popular battles throughout history as well as having saved a Church near where an atomic bomb was dropped in Japan during Word War II. The miracles associated with the Rosary throughout history are too numerous and too significant to ignore. Details on some of these miracles are listed below.
Another reason why so many people have turned to the Rosary throughout history is due to the fact that many of the holiest people in history have relied on the Rosary continuously for help and protection throughout their lives, and these people consistently recommended it openly to everyone during their lifetimes as well.
An example of some popular advocates of the Rosary are countless Saints. The daily recitation of the Rosary was the practice of St. Dominic, St. Louis King of France, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Francis de Sales, St. Francis Xavier, St. John Vianney, St. Anthony Mary Claret, St. Louis de Montfort, and others whose aim was to live a perfectly holy life. An example of how these Saints felt about the Rosary is reflected in this quote from St. Louis de Montfort:
"If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins you shall receive a never fading crown of glory."
In addition, at least 50 Popes throughout history have openly advocated the Rosary. Some examples:
"The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life. It is the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings. There is no more excellent way of praying." Pope Leo XIII
"The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin…If you desire peace in your hearts, in your homes, and in your country, assemble each evening to recite the Rosary. Let not even one day pass without saying it, no matter how burdened you may be with many cares and labors." Pope Pius XI
"Among all the devotions approved by the Church, none has been so favored by so many miracles as the Rosary devotion." Pope Pius IX
The Rosary is simply an extremely popular devotion for helping yourself and family and friends, and may even be used to help reduce or even overcome larger problems at the national and international levels as seen in the examples below.
With the world in the state it is in today, and with all of the problems our family and friends are facing today, the Rosary is the ideal way to help ourselves, family and friends, and is PROVEN to help us. The people that continue to have chronic, serious problems in their lives are people that are most likely not taking advantage of the benefits of prayer, and especially the Rosary. It costs us nothing to say the Rosary, only a few minutes of our day.
Just like standard prayer as discussed on our Prayer page, you can pray the Rosary for problems you are currently facing, or for problems a family member or friend are facing. You can say it in any quiet location such as at home or during a trip in the car.
If you would like to try the Rosary to help you, a family member, or a friend, we provide all information you will need on this website. Simply click the picture of the Rosary Beads below to proceed.
Click here to obtain everything you need to try the Rosary
If you are unsure about the power of the Rosary, or are skeptical that it can help you with the problems you are facing, you still have nothing to lose by trying it. Then you can compare the Rosary to other means you are using to help rid yourself, family and friends of your problems and judge for yourself on which is most effective.
Please note that if your doctor recommends you perform regular procedures or take medication regularly, the Rosary should not REPLACE your doctor's recommendations, but rather SUPPLEMENT those recommendations.

That's to make sure the track is in great shape for tomorrow.12 class of racers are competing.Among them is Jarid Johnson, one of the younger brothers of 5-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson. Jarid did get some practice work in away from the track. Jarid's younger brother James is helping Jarid in the pits. Gary Johnson, the proud father is watching. He has missed Crandon's Off-Road Raceway. Jimmie last raced here 15 years ago. Now it's back seeing some familiar faces and enjoying racing again."It's really neat to see some old friends," Gary said. "Jimmie (Johnson) has grown so big, he really doesn't need our help. This is more fun where you can work on the truck.""It's been a while since I've raced trucks," Jarid explains. "We've always looked forward to racing at Crandon. This track is big, so we should have some clean racing. We should have alot of fun here."Jarid did race in another off-road circuit for about 5 years.Some of the Northwoods drivers competing this weekend includes: Eric Lear and Justin Lennox of Minocqua (Light Buggy), and Sugar Camp's Scott Schwalbe (Pro Buggy).Racing is Saturday and Sunday.
