A few perfect fish
Meet Baby Paley, Fishing Around Bend, and Deschutes Steelhead Report
Another long time in between posts... sorry!!! Well in my own defense there has been a lot happening in our house lately. On July 19th Cairn and I had a baby girl, Paley Loran O'Donnell. She weighed 10 lbs 4 oz!!! And in the 98th percentile for here length - 22 inches. She is beautiful and amazing. Bright, alert, strong, and active. She sleeps through the night. She doesn't cry much. Is that normal? For the first time in my life there is a place I would rather be than on the river... I can't wait until I can take her down the river with me! Cairn went through a lot, much more than usual, but is recovering quickly and doing awesome. We have entered a new chapter of life and couldn't be more excited about it. Now I really have to work hard... so lets go fishing!
We showed up in Bend for a doctor appointment on July 3rd. Cairn is dilated. So we decide to stay in Bend to avoid any scrambling to get to the hospital from Maupin. Well long story short we had Paley July 19th. She was nine days overdue. So what does a guy do while hanging out in Central Oregon for three weeks? It didn't take long for me to begin wandering around the Upper Deschutes River watershed. I spent time with good friends and family chasing big rainbows, browns, and even largemouth bass! It helped pass the time and it was good for me to break away from the Lower Deschutes and enjoy some of the other fisheries I used to hit when i lived in Bend.
In other news (as if there is any other news!) steelhead season is well under way. Good fishing began while i was waiting in Bend for baby to come. I got phone calls, emails, and text messages about how good the fishing was. My first trip was after Paley's birth on July 28th. Since then I have been on the river swinging for steelhead just about every day. Fishing has been all over the board. I have had some incredible days and skunk days with no rhyme or reason. We have been finding a couple of fish most days, with more experienced anglers taking the lion's share. A few highlights from the past few weeks include a good number of first ever steelhead, a lady angler who hooked around ten or twelve steelhead over the course of four days while here male fishing partners each landed two fish. The anglers shall remain nameless to avoid embarrassment! At least one of the two fish one of the guys landed was a 15 lb monster buck... that was also a highlight. Fred Patton's daughter, Cathline, caught a whopping 14 lber from a tiny riffle on a super short cast. Last night, after a long fishless day, Ryan Nelson hooked up on his last cast! The fish left the run, cartwheeling all the way, and we had to chase her. After a short but super hot battle we were cradling a six pound immaculate wild hen that brought tears to Ryan's eyes. That is a hell of a way to end the day. The good news is that we will still be running hard for at least two months!
We have a few spaces left for both day and camping trips between October 25 and November 6 if anyone is interested in putting together a fall trip with us. Fall is time for big fish with almost no fishing pressure. Call Cairn at (541) 720 - 2633 for the fastest service.
Thanks for reading,
Salmonflies gone, fishing good on Deschutes River
Trout fishing has been pretty good on the Lower Deschutes the past few weeks. The big bugs have disappeared for the most part. One could go on fishing big bugs and still find spotty success but we have been doing much better on smaller bugs like yellow sallies and caddis type stuff. A size 14 purple para wulff is a killer hot fly this time of year. My last three day float started off with action on golden stone dries the first day, although we had to bow cast them under trees. Casting way out towards the middle of the river in broad riffley water was also productive. The action definitely switched to caddis and mayfly as we drifted closer to Maupin. Trout are making their way into summer time "small fly" spots that include foamy backeddies and slack water where tiny bugs collect by the millions. They are not thick in the eddies yet but I have been keeping a close eye and they are just starting to nose in to the slow foamy stuff. Natural colored clothing and a stealthy approach will become crucial in the upcoming weeks.
I have run into a couple of really tough days... we still caught a pile of trout but they were really concentrated in one or two spots. One other note - the trout are hammering caddis pupae/emerger patters like LaFontain's, Silvey's prime time pupae, etc. Fish 'em with a couple split shot just a few feet under a small indicator. You can fish this rig in all kinds of water, not just nymphing water.
In other news Cairn is almost there! In theory our baby girl will be born in 26 days. I couldn't be more excited for anything. Cairn's sister took some amazing maternity photos with us the other day and while not fishing related I will post one when I get my hands on it.
Thanks for reading,
More Salmonfly Hatch Photos from the Deschutes River
The salmonfly hatch is peaking out near Warm Springs right now. Yesterday was incredible... should have been here yesterday! The hatch is thinning out around Maupin and really winding down below Sherars Falls. Thats not to say fishing isn't still good on the lower river, the trout are just keying into other smaller bugs like yellow sallies and caddis. I have been on high alert for green drakes, but haven't seen more than a couple each day. Yesterday was overcast and rainy and still no drakes! WTF? Oh well, we had plenty of action on salmonflies.
Tip of the day: fish something besides a chubby chernobyl... the trout could tie them better than we can right now. Every angler I see is casting a white cotton ball. Try something different. Use classic flies like the Clark, Norm, and Kaufmann bugs, or be creative and come up with something different.
Fun times! Thanks for checking in,

Video: Daredevil nearly strikes iconic statue during wingsuit fly-by

Two daredevils were able to experience one of the world's most iconic statues from a unique perspective.
The men decided to use special wingsuits to fly by Brazil's Christ the Redeemer statue.
During the plunge, one man came within feet of hitting the statue, which is made of 635 tons of concrete.
Both of the men made it to the ground just fine and had some incredible video to share.

Slideshow: A History of the Smartphone in 20 Handsets
O2 XDA, indeed
Far more worthy of inclusion than the flopped N-gage handsets, the first HTC Windows Mobile phone, the O2 XDA was at least as revolutionary as the first iPhone, only without the hype.
It wasn't *my* first smartphone -- I jumped aboard with the O2 XDA II. It served me well for many years. The first in a long a still running string of relevant full touch-screen phones that spelled the end of the stand-alone PDA.
Microsoft: Gmail rival Outlook.com will 'look good on your iPad'
Where's the uproar?
Last time Microsoft tried to 'reimagine hotmail' and came up with Windows Live Mail it triggered a storm of criticism, practically forcing them to revert. Where are those loyal fans this time?
I should probably look on twitter, but why would I want to do that from Outlook?

Twitter discovers MMS for photo tweeting
The reason Twitter doesn't refer to this protocol as MMS as simply they're an American company, a large part of their user base is American, and most Americans wouldn't even have clue what an SMS is, let alone an MMS. One can wonder whether their understanding of TLAs much exceeds USA, OMG and WTF.
So, what's the best sci-fi film never made?
Perhaps not the ultimate one
but still a fantastic science fiction story that would make for a great movie I've been waiting for decades to see made: "This Perfect Day" by Ira Levin.

Lovefilm coming to PS3... in the UK, one has to presume. What do Europeans on the continent get? No Netflix, no Lovefilm for sure.

Presumably this deal is only valid for customers in the US of A, or perhaps also Canada but not on our side of the pond. Too bad the article makes no mention of this whatsoever.
Bloated Office 2010 kicks dirt in face of old computers
Late adopter?
Exactly. I don't consider myself a luddite but I happily continue tuse Office 2000 (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) and I think I hardly use any of the extra features it added over the previous version ('97? '98?).
Just a pity they never upgrade bonus applications like MS Photo Editor.
Google may exit China after 'highly targeted' attack
BTW, the PRC government will also be glad to see Google leave because it will give them even more control over censorship than they've already got.
Has it occurred to anyone
and especially, has it occurred to Google, that the PRC government would be delighted to see Google leave? It would boost native Baidu's market share to 90% or so. The Chinese would love to get rid of western tech companies, once they've copied their technologies and products. That's why they've developed their own VCD/DVD/Blu-ray Disc variants, their own telecommunications standards, etc. Good riddance, if you ask them!

Full dual encoding
is considered too inefficient. The left and right-eye video can be encoded together with much less bandwidth than twice a single one.
Anonymous Coward is right
The display technology need not be standardized; so long as the displays work with standardized sources as input, all is fine. Just don't try to use the glasses of one technology with the display of another.
Autostereoscopy may be the future
but Philips abanonded the no-glasses approach because the final crisis stretched the payback term by another year or so. The credit crunch caused a delay in investments in quad-HD screens which they felt were necessary for decent quality lenticular displays. Yes, they are that impatient. *Sighs*

You can ban me but
I cannot believe they did not include 'cewebrity'.
Ok, thank gawd it hasn't quite caught on but whoever came up with this term should be banned from the internet for ever, if not from media in general.
At first I thought the word was a pun on people with a certain speech problem but it turns out to refer to the sort of people featured in Weezer's "Pork and beans" video.
Brits decline to 'think outside the box'
'Downsizing' is so nineties
In the naughties this euphemism was replaced by the no less horrifying 'rightsizing', which in turn looks to be replaced by 'redesigning'.

Linux weaktops poised for death by smartphone
Netbooks vs Smartphones
One key aspect of this battle remarkably appears to be overlooked here:
A netbook (even a 10" model including Windows XP, MS Works and the lot) is still significantly cheaper than a decent smartphone like an iPhone or HTC Touch family member like the Diamond, Pro or HD.
Pioneer DVR-116D multi-format DVD rewriter
DVD-RAM RIP (almost)
Why DVD-RAM never caught on? Easy -- the format has nothing else in common with DVD other than those three letters. DVD-RAM is recorded totally different at all levels and a disc does not resemble a DVD-ROM disc at all. That may be fine for archiving but not for sharing.

Warner puts Blu-ray, HD DVD combo disc 'on hold'
It's not Microsoft, it's Toshiba
Yoshihide Fujii of Toshiba admitted in Consumer Electronics Daily of September 1 that it was Toshiba who paid Paramount. He only denied that the bribe was as high as $150 million.
Surely Toshiba have invested in HD-DVD much more than Microsoft and consequently have much more to lose. No wonder they're desparate to make it fly. They're still the only CE brand making stand-alone HD-DVD players and they've got a modest position in North America, an even smaller one in the UK and they're non-existent as a CE brand in Europe. Only in Japan they've got a reasonable basis but there BD rules.
Sony to break out of Cell?
IBM not a rival
Clutch is right: it's odd the article should mention IBM as a rival since it was one of Sony's two partners in development of the Cell -- the other one being Toshiba. I only wonder: if Toshiba's factories didn't already serve as a fab for the Cell, what was the company's role in the first place?
Also, what's happening with Sony's other semiconductor business?
HTC jumps on touch-screen phone bandwagon
Is the advent of the iPhone a good or bad thing for HTC?
It's tough to see Apple getting virtually all of the credit where HTC deserves so much for relentlessly pushing the PDA Phone category but at least due to Apple's efforts the public awareness of this product concept is increased substantially which may be a benefit for the category as a whole, making it easier for companies like HTC to sell their stuff to the masses.

FirstEnergy deal 'catches up' the BrownsPosted by on January 16, 2013 – 12:23 am
By Vic Carucci, Senior Editor
Let's be honest about this.
When it came to maximizing its revenue-generating capacity, the Cleveland Browns were behind the times.
Well behind.
I realize there are a fair number of people who appreciated the "old-school" thinking of the team's previous ownership to simply call the place they played their home games "Cleveland Browns Stadium." I understand the desire to maintain some sense of purity, in keeping with the franchise's long history and tradition, while making the stadium's name virtually the only part of the structure off limits to sponsorship opportunities.
But that thinking no longer flies in an era when so many NFL teams sell stadium naming rights for a substantial price.
It especially doesn't fly when two of those clubs, the Pittsburgh Steelers (Heinz Field) and the Baltimore Ravens (M&T Bank Stadium), are divisional rivals of the Browns. Naming-rights deals, just like any other means of boosting a club's income, give their teams a competitive advantage when it comes to having the resources to add talent on the field and throughout the organization.
So, from the moment Jimmy Haslam reached an agreement to purchase a majority interest in the Browns from Randy Lerner last summer, the wheels were put in motion to land one here.
After months of negotiations, the fruits of that labor became public on Tuesday when a giant white curtain was dropped during a news conference to reveal the stadium's new name: "FirstEnergy Stadium, Home of the Cleveland Browns."
"I think it, frankly, catches us up in some ways with most of the league," Browns chief executive officer Joe Banner told me on "Cleveland Browns Daily, Driven by Liberty Ford." "It's a significant revenue source to most NFL teams, and for a long time the Browns haven't participated in that revenue source."
FirstEnergy made sense for multiple reasons, the biggest of which is that it is based in Akron, Ohio, and is run by people who are die-hard Browns fans.
As Banner put it, "it's a great partnership with a great, local company, so I think there's opportunities in terms of visibility, doing things in the community, that will be good for the city as well as for the two companies, so we look forward to that."
Haslam has been looking forward to the completion of the deal ever since he saw, as owner of a minority stake in the Steelers, the benefits the Browns' chief AFC North rival reaped by playing in a place called Heinz Field.
"It is a very, very competitive league, and it's competition at the highest level," Haslam told me on the radio show. "You have to do everything possible to compete, and the revenue that's coming in from the naming of this stadium will help the Browns compete at a higher level."
>>Be sure to tune in Monday through Friday, 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET, for "Cleveland Browns Daily, Driven by Liberty Ford" on ESPN 850 WKNR or catch the live stream right here on ClevelandBrowns.com.

About Clostridium difficile
C. difficile is a Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium that causes C. difficile-associated disease (CDAD). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDAD is on the rise worldwide, both in terms of number of cases and severity of the disease. Most cases of CDAD occur in a hospital setting due to increased use of antibiotics and other chemotherapeutics that disrupt normal intestinal flora, an ageing population, and difficulty of eradicating C. difficile spores. However, more recently, CDAD has been acquired in the community setting where several outbreaks with increased mortality have occurred. The emergence of an epidemic, hypervirulent C. difficile strain (BI/NAP1, 027) that produces high levels of toxins poses a real threat to public health and demands improved infection control as well as novel treatment options.

There was a hilarious moment at the FIFA World Cup in Germany in 2006 when thousands of Dutch football supporters were forced to remove their garish orange trousers and watch their team's game with the Ivory Coast in their underpants. It wasn't the German fashion police that caused supporters such embarrassment - even though they would have been well within their rights to do so. The fact is, the trousers were emblazoned with the advertising logo of a beer company named Bavaria, while the competition was sponsored by Budweiser. The monitoring FIFA officials ruled it a serious case of 'ambush ... Read more
It would appear that, after the horrors and belt-tightening that resulted from the GFC a few years ago, there seems to be a little bit of money back in the pocket again. It took around 10-15 years for the turnaround to happen after the crash of '29 so we've probably done a good job in minimizing the damage so far. I think we've learned a few things out of this crisis though. The main thing i think that we've learned is that it's never been more important to organize ourselves monetarily and that it's vital to live within our means. ... Read more

A little about me...
I'm an honest, affectionate, adventure loving lady looking for a special guy to have fun with and, if we're lucky, form a longer term relationship. I have two almost grown sons (23 and 19), a nice career, lots of interests and a pretty home where I love to entertain family and friends. Enjoy music (almost all kinds), cooking and entertaining, dining out, movies, reading, walking (in the woods, on a beach, or around the block), cycling, traveling and exploring new places. Appreciate good conversation over a great dinner and a bottle of wine. I am trim, a nice dresser and told I don't look my age, but I'll let you judge that one :) Love to laugh and can see the funny/lighter side of most things. I believe in kindness toward all people and appreciate others who feel the same.
About the one I'm looking for...
My best date is someone with common values, who likes to be close and affectionate, to share adventures and have fun. Someone who is intelligent, warm and funny, responsible and secure, and comfortable with himself. Someone who likes to get together with friends or an evening out but also enjoys a home cooked meal and sitting in front of a fire. Who likes to spend time together, but also has interests of his own.
I'd just like to add...
If this sounds like you, I'd love to be in touch.

Dear Zach,
Your mom did the right thing. And she is still the cape-wearing, justice-fighting, superhero you tell her she is. That's why I'm writing this column.
Best, Carol Marin
Zach is the 12-year-old son of former Cook County juvenile court prosecutor Sonia Antolec. A 30-year-old single mother with a stellar record, Antolec recently refused to prosecute a "heater" case involving a vicious "wilding" attack in March on the CTA Red Line. The evidence, she determined, was too flawed to proceed. Multiple sources confirm that her supervisor agreed. But amazingly, higher-ups in the office of Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez suspended her without pay and demoted her when complaints on a cop blog and calls from downtown raised hell over her decision. The official reason given was that she hadn't informed all of her bosses about dismissing charges.
Antolec quit last week.
Sun-Times reporter Mitch Dudek broke this story. It's a cautionary tale about how justice in a high-publicity case can be kicked to the curb. And about how a superb prosecutor can be made a scapegoat.
Here's the background:
In April, a 27-year-old woman and her mom were on the CTA Red Line when a band of teenage girls began attacking the young woman and pulling out her hair. They were armed with padlocks wrapped in socks and box cutters. She desperately tried to shield her face.
According to the police, the victim positively identified the faces of her attackers. Felony charges were approved. The case was sent to Antolec.
But when Antolec interviewed the victim and her mother, what they told her was substantially different. The victim described a "reverse" police lineup, asking her to look at suspects from the back, perhaps to identify their clothing. In addition, the mother reported having poor eyesight. And a CTA surveillance video, according to Antolec, was in no way definitive.
Antolec said she sat down with the victim and said, "A terrible thing happened to you. . . . You defended yourself. . . . You could not look up."
They both, said Antolec, "shed tears" over it. But, said the former prosecutor, "I could not proceed."
Nobody wants to arrest these roving thugs more than police.
Nobody wants to put them behind bars more than prosecutors.
But police and prosecutors every single day make terribly hard judgments about the quality of evidence and the ability to take a case to court. That's why fully 75 percent of 25,000 juvenile criminal cases in 2011 and 2012 were diverted or dismissed based on either police and prosecutorial discretion.
But this had become a heater case.
Alvarez's office does not dispute problems with the evidence. What the office does dispute is whether Antolec observed proper protocol in getting the upper echelons of the office to agree to dismiss.
"Whether these cases are bad or not is beside the point," Alvarez chief of staff Dan Kirk told me Friday. "You have to go through procedures."
Kirk added that he's just learned Antolec had been looking for another job before this whole controversy blew up.
Can't say as I blame her.

1996 Ford Contour Problems
The Check Engine Light can illuminate with codes due to the lack of EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) flow caused. This is commonly a result of a clogged passage in the intake manifold. To correct this problem, the EGR valve has to be removed and the passage cleaned thoroughly. Partial restriction of this passage can cause smog test failures for the NOx emissions without causing a drivability symptom.
1996 Ford Contour Questions
Every so often my car won't start. Seems to be happening more frequently. All the lights and the radio come on but when I try to turn it over nothing. No sound nothing. Sometimes it won't restart for days. Sometimes it a couple hours sometimes a few min. Once it starts again. No problems...

Fork Union's Christian Hackenberg had offers to play for college coaches like Nick Saban of Alabama, or Steve Spurrier at South Carolina.
But the junior quarterback, regarded as one of the top college prospects for 2013 in the country by more than one recruiting website, has decided to play for first-year coach Bill O'Brien at Penn State.
"I think he's a great guy. Definitely someone who will develop me to my potential," Hackenberg said on Wednesday.
Hackenberg visited Happy Valley earlier this month, and gave a verbal commitment to the Nittany Lions on Tuesday night. He listed Alabama, Miami, South Carolina, and Florida as his other finalists.
"My goal was to find a school where everything fell in line. Both academically, socially, athletically," Hackenberg said. "And Penn State -- after I met the staff and was up there and got to see what they were all about, athletically and academically -- I sort of knew that was where I was going to be."
ESPN and 247Sports both regard Hackenberg, who threw for 2,164 yards and 20 touchdowns last fall, among the top 100 junior prospects in the country. He's rated as a five-star recruit by ESPN, and a four-star quarterback by 247Sports and Rivals.
Hackenberg is the first player to commit to Penn State's 2013 recruiting class.
O'Brien was hired by to replace Joe Paterno in January. He had been the offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots, and didn't take over at Penn State full-time until after the Patriots' loss in the Super Bowl.
Hackenberg admitted the opportunity to play for a man who was just coaching Tom Brady a few weeks ago was a big factor in his decision.
"It was definitely a big-time player," he said. "I want to be compared to the best, and I want to be as best as I can. That's one of the things that I was looking forward to."

On the back of a positive close to the year for the automotive industry, John Leech, KPMG Head of Automotive, looks ahead to 2014 and predicts that the industry is going in the right direction, with car production and sales in both the UK and EU set to increase.
Highlighting increases in sales and production, Leech said: "2013 has been fantastic for the automotive industry, the latest UK car manufacturing figures highlighted that 1,286,287 cars were produced in the first 11 months, a rise of 5.4 percent [1] with sales also up by 9.9 percent. The current sales and production run rates are back at pre-recession levels last seen in 2008.
"UK car sales will grow in 2014 but at a slower rate than in 2013 as we are almost back to our natural long-run average. The rate of growth depends principally on when the car manufacturers pull back on the cheap credit that is currently pump-priming the market. If this cheap credit remains available throughout next year then there is an increasing risk of oversupply of new cars which could raise anxiety regarding a potential shock fall in used car residual values.
"UK car production will grow again for the fifth year running as European car sales start to slowly rise once more. This should also see European car production finally turnaround and grow in 2014 for the first time in seven years."
The automotive component supplier sector will also see activity in the coming year, Leech said: "M&A activity will jump in the automotive component supplier sector from a surge of inward investment into the UK to supply the rising UK vehicle production, which I forecast to reach 1.9 million vehicles in 2017 (up by over 25 percent on 2007 production levels). By contrast, France, Italy and Spain are expected to be making 33 percent, 28 percent and 17 percent fewer cars in 2017 compared to 2007 respectively. Germany on the other hand will only be just back to where it started from.
Leech continued: "According to KPMG International's 14th Global Automotive Executive Survey, consumer enthusiasm for electric cars in 2013 failed to ignite but the outlook in 2014 will start to brighten as range-extended battery-powered cars are launched, like the new 2014 BMW i3."
Forecasting developments in driverless cars, Leech said: "New self-driving features will be deployed in executive cars such as 'traffic-jam assist' which will see cars driving themselves in low speed traffic jams."
"The focus on innovation by the UK government will also help the development of driverless and electric cars. Plans to test driverless cars in the UK by global car manufacturers will push the UK as a player in driverless car technology."

The 60ft bronze statue in Ilfracombe woke wearing coloured, stripy leg warmers this morning.
DAMIEN Hirst's statue Verity certainly didn't wake up with cold feet this morning after she was 'yarn bombed' overnight.
The 60ft bronze statue on Ilfracombe sea front appeared to be wearing a pair of stripy, knitted leg warmers this morning.
The April Fools' Day prank is no doubt one of many to take place across the region today.
Get in touch if you've spotted a great April Fools' Day prank in North Devon.
Mayor Lynda Courtnadge commented: "Who knows why Verity has been given a rather fetching set of stripy tights? Perhaps it was a student looking to be the next Jean Paul Gaultier? Or maybe someone thought Verity's legs were looking a little cold? Or finally could there be a more extraterrestrial nature and aliens have decided to pay a visit to an earth resort and leave a thank you?"
If you know who knitted the leg warmers, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call the newsdesk on 01271 345056.

3. Go to Component > JoomlaPack and then press 'create backup' button after viewing Basic configuration once.it took only a minute and half to complete the whole process for my 500+ page site and everything was shown on screen.
4. there is built-in option to download the backup file but i was not able to get it from there but you can always download files from servers via any ftp software!
5. After uploading file to new location, unzip it.
6. Once unzipped, open the index in browser and install the Joomla as you had done for the first time!
7. I had used the same password as previous and then obviously you have to remove the installation folder!
YOUR SITE IS TRANSFERRED in no time!
Highly recommended tool!
