This fly will stay upright 100% of the time, if tied correctly. The key is to cut the foam shellback a bit wider than the gap of the hook. The AFF D101 hook used here is a little heavier than a typical 1X fine dry fly hook but helps extremely well with keeping the fly upright. The chartreuse foam hot spot helps you keep an eye on your fly and the rubber legs help gives the fly a "bit of life" when on the water. I have the most success with this fly in mid to late summer and fall. I generally search for crushing trout near the banks and cast the fly just in front of there path.

Politics of Trade
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
KWAME HOLMAN: At the Foxglove Flower Shop in the Washington, D.C., suburbs, the roses come from Ecuador and Colombia. They're well priced for American consumers, courtesy of the Andean Trade Act, which eliminates import tariffs on many products from four South American nations. Since the Act took effect a decade ago, cut flower imports from those countries have blossomed into a $600 million-a- year industry. And that's been good for flower retailers like Foxglove. But cheaper imports also can hurt American businesses. Over recent years, foreign steel displaced many U.S. mills, putting thousands of steelworkers out of jobs. Assisting such workers and renewing the trade deal with the four Andean nations both are popular ideas in Congress. So Democrats who control the Senate decided to tie those issues to a much more controversial trade item, giving the President far-reaching power to negotiate trade deals. Some republicans– who generally support giving the President so- called trade promotion authority– were unhappy the Democrats tied it to worker assistance and Andean trade. Oklahoma's Don Nickles:
DON NICKLES: There is three bills jammed into one.
KWAME HOLMAN: Trade promotion, or fast track authority, gives a President the ability to negotiate trade deals with other countries which Congress may either approve or reject, but not modify in any way. Every President since Gerald Ford has had fast-track negotiating authority. That ended in 1994, during Bill Clinton's tenure. By the time the George Bush Presidential Library was dedicated in 1997, Mr. Clinton and his predecessors were fighting an uphill battle to get the Presidential trade authority renewed.
JIMMY CARTER: The last couple of days, I've been calling as many as… as many democratic Congressmen as I could to try to get them to support our fast track.
GEORGE BUSH: I am passionately committed to President Clinton's position on free and fair trade.
KWAME HOLMAN: Now, the second President Bush hopes the time is right for him to win the privilege his father enjoyed, trade promotion authority.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: The good thing about TPA is it allows me to negotiate, or my administration to negotiate, and then Congress gets to vote on the terms, up or down. And that's important for the nations represented in this world. It gives them confidence to negotiate a treaty with the United States without it being fine-tuned by numerous experts on the hill on what is right or wrong about trade.
KWAME HOLMAN: But many members, especially those whose states have been hurt by steel and agriculture imports, remain leery. North Dakota's Byron Dorgan:
SEN. BYRON DORGAN: Fast track means that someone negotiates a trade agreement somewhere around the world on behalf of the United States, and then it comes to the United States Senate and they run it through this body under what is called fast track, meaning that this body has agreed to handcuff itself and not offer any amendments, in fact not be allowed to offer any amendments to a trade agreement. I happen to think that that abridges the Constitution of the United States, but not many agree, I guess, and so…
KWAME HOLMAN: Such concerns prompted Senators to approve an amendment that would allow the Senate remove any item in a trade deal that violates laws that ban importing very low priced goods, known as dumping. But Republican Chuck Grassley of Iowa said that would defeat the central purpose of granting trade authority to the President in the first place.
SEN. CHARLES GRASSLEY: The issue is whether or not the President will be credible if, when he reaches an agreement, there is opportunity on the floor of the Senate to have separate votes on separate parts of the agreement, so some can be dropped and others might be adopted. Well, do you think the other 142 countries of the WTO are going to negotiate with our country on those bases? Do you think that there will be final agreement? No.
SPOKESMAN: Mr. President, I rise today in order to oppose this legislation.
KWAME HOLMAN: Senators worried about the negative impact of trade deals are counting on so- called trade adjustment assistance to help workers displaced by cheaper imports with wage and health benefit subsidies.
SEN. TOM DASCHLE: My view has always been that there are far more winners than losers in expanding our trade around the world. But we also recognize that there are some losers, there are some who, for whatever reason, may have been dislocated. When those occasions occur, I think our country owes those workers a future, owes those workers some safety net to ensure that their health needs, and hopefully, their short-term unemployment needs are addressed.
KWAME HOLMAN: But New Hampshire Republican Judd Gregg said helping unemployed workers pay for health insurance would create a conflict with those who are employed.
SEN. JUDD GREGG: In this bill, there is a brand new major entitlement, which will essentially say that, if you're put out of work, allegedly because of a trade event, you will have the right to get health insurance and have that health insurance paid for by the taxpayers, or 70% of it, which will create the anomalous situation, the really terrible situation that people who are working for a living, working hard, working 40, 50, 60 hours a week and who do not have health insurance will end up paying an increased tax burden to pay to subsidize the health insurance of somebody who does not have a job, is not working and who is getting already significant unemployment benefits, training benefits, education benefits, and now would be getting very significant new health insurance benefits.
KWAME HOLMAN: There is much less controversy over restoring the free trade relationship between the U.S. and the four Andean nations, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Oklahoma's Don Nickles said that's overdue.
SEN. DON NICKLES: I happen to think the Andean Trade Nations Act needs to pass. Its authorization has expired months ago and tariffs were supposed to be imposed last week on four Andean countries that really need our help — tariffs that are as high as 15%, 25%, 30% on countries that haven't had to pay those tariffs for the last ten years. And so we need to assist those countries.
KWAME HOLMAN: After nearly a month of debate, the Senate has considered issues ranging from but the worker protection measures added to the Senate bill will make it difficult to meld with a House measure that contains only trade negotiation authority for the President.

An interesting look at Sony's Financial Situation with the PS3
While Nintendo gets more doom articles than anybody these days. What's swept under the rug are the other console manufacturers struggles in the console space. The PS3 is widely looked at as a success for Sony because of the brainwashing of tools like Michael Pachter. However, the PS3 lost Sony billions of dollars over the course of it's lifetime. didn't net them much profit over the course of its life.
I got this article from VGChartz and was tipped to me by timg57867:
I have seen a couple of threads / posts and even articles claiming that the PS3 made one of the greatest comebacks and is a profitable business for Sony. I just had to clear this up.
It seems that a lot of people forgot or ignore the gigantic losses Sony reported earlier this gen, thanks to the PS3.
The financial year that ended March 2006, Sony's game division reported a 75 million USD operating income. Back then the PSP and PS2 were going really strong and were highly profitable. The operating income was down 80% just thanks to the R&D for the PS3. So even before the PS3 was released it already had its impact on the gaming business.
The financial year ended March 2007, the gaming division reported a 1.97 billion USD loss. Again the PS2 and PSP were profitable back then, so the losses made by the PS3 easily surpass the 2.2 billion USD mark.
Link: http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/financial/ar/2007/8ido180000018aei-att/SonyAR07-E.pdf
The next year, Sony reported a 1.24 billion USD loss. Again considering the PSP and the PS2, 1.5 billion USD loss just for the PS3 in this one year is an educated guess.
Link: http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/financial/ar/2008/qfhh7c00000htn6x-att/SonyAR08-E.pdf
In the year that ended March 2009 the gaming division saw some improvements, but still reported a 591 million USD loss.
Link: http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/financial/ar/8ido180000023g2o-att/SonyAR09-E.pdf
So before the next financial year started, the PS3 already had a 4.3 billion USD loss to fight, not including R&D! Sony merged the gaming business with the Vaio business and called it "Networked Products & Services". From this point on it gets complicated to guess the exact PS3 numbers. However the newly formed division reported a 888 million USD loss for its first year.
This was the year when the new model launched and the PS3 saw a big price cut. This was the time when Sony decided to go after market share instead of profits. Tha vaio-business is way smaller than the Playstation business, so at the very least 500 million USD of those 888 million loss belong to the Playstation, mainly for the PS3. Let's be very conservative here and say the PS3 only lost 400 million USD.
Link: http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/financial/ar/8ido18000003dkyy-att/8ido18000003dl0u.pdf
The year financial ending March 2011 was the very first year the PS3 actually made a profit! The new division posted a 428 million USD profit for the whole year. The Vita was not yet launched and the Vaio business was going strong according to the report. 300 million USD profit for the PS3 is an optimistic guess.
Link: http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/financial/ar/report2011/SonyAR11-E.pdf
The next year Sony decided to mix the division formed 2 years ago with all the other businesses for consumers (LCD, audio and video, gaming, tablets). Sony reported that this new division started with a breathtaking 2.8 billion USD loss. The report states that there were a lot of impacts that went bad for them (floods in Thailand and decreased sales of Playstation 3 hardware, digital cameras and PCs). Let's be VERY optimistic and assume that the gaming division did not post a loss, even though the PSN outage cost them 171 million USD and is included in this report.
Link: http://venturebeat.com/2011/05/23/sonys-playstation-network-outage-costs-171m/
Link: http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/financial/ar/2012/common/docs/EAR.pdf
For the FY 2013 the gaming division is back and called "Game". Here are the results we have so far:
Q1: 45 million USD loss
Q2: 29 million USD profit
Q3: 53 million USD profit.
= 37 million USD profit in the past 9 months.
So overall we are looking at a total loss of 4 billion USD for the PS3, not including R&D and that is a very optimistic guess. With all the factors I chose to ignore to show you that this is not biased in any way (R&D, PSN Outage, Most of the PS2 / PSP profits) the actual number would be way higher. There are reports that the cell processor alone cost 400 million in R&D, add Blu-Ray, PSN etc. and you get the idea. So a 5-6 billion USD loss for the PS3 is very likely.
So the comeback of the PS3 never really happened. And it did not make any money yet and won't recoup the money at all. This is not spinning, no trolling just hard facts from the financial reports. This is why I don't get all these celebrations of Sony and the PS3. Imagine where the Xbox 360 or the Wii would be if Nintendo or MS were willing to take a 5 billion USD loss…
I knew Sony had staggering losses, but I didn't know it was this bad. Exactly how does Pachter get away with not reporting on any of this?

Great article. Didn't know that Sony's financial troubles were way worser than I thought. Wonder how Sony is gonna get out of this one?
Excellent article, and a lot of these problems stem from the engineers versus the CEO's culture currently at Sony. When Sony was founded it was founded by engineers. The motif behind the company was 'we want to make the best product with a seal of quality,' and for the most part they have done that. Fast forward to the golden era of Sony in the late 80's and 90's, their brand power couldn't be touched. From sound equipment (anyone remember the Walkman lol?), to televisions, the Sony brand couldn't be touched. Everything they touched turned to gold, and essentially the engineers grew to have the louder voice. However, times have changed and unfortunately the culture has become toxic for them.
Lots of speculation used to arrive at these numbers.
Yeah, speculation in Sony's FAVOR. =P
That dude isn't "speculating" anything when he's getting these numbers. Speculation is "a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence." He uses no bias against Sony, and lists hard, veritable sources at every turn. It's in Sony's favor because he chose to overlook factors which would probably make the loss bigger. Either way you look at it, the PS3 certainly made no net profit.
Sony is in a very bad position right now. This gen is make or break for them. They lost all of the money they made with the PSX & PS2. The PS3 was a failure compared to those two. Nintendo is in a much better position that they are with the success of the DS and Wii.
The mass gaming public is so ignorant of what is actually going on in the industry. They choose to listen to idiots like Pachter, rather than the truth.
Really? You'd be hard pressed to fins anyone that take Pachter seriously.
I guess I'm late to the party here.
Well whatever, I pretty much agree with everything you guys are saying.
I knew Sony was doing bad, I didn't know it was That bad. Mind blown.Sony needs to climb their way out of a very deep hole or else their future looks bleak. . . .We going to see ImageSoft again anyone? lol
Somebody brought up how Sony sold the PS3 at a loss (which was still a whopping 600 bucks). It makes me think… why is 600 a loss? Well, they cram in as much stuff as they can. It seems, to me at least, that they're putting too much stuff in a console, therefore they can never make enough money off of it to cover all the stuff they put in.
Which, ironically, is pretty much what poor Sega was doing. Ahead of their time.
Nintendo, on the other hand, has been doing the exact opposite, with the Wii and Wii U. The Wii was "underpowered". The U is "underpowered". In additional to other details, such as not putting in more than 32 gb in the U. Not putting in a DVD player. Currently only supporting one GamePad (which took up a sizeable chunk of that 300-350 pricetag).
Ironically, it seems like if anybody were to "become the next Sega", it would be Sony.
Of course, it very well could just b3 their gaming division. And it still doesn't seem likely that they're going anywhere soon, at least not like Sega, who had 6 or so failed systems, as to where Sony only has (apparently) the PS3, and (so far) the Vita. Plus, they dominated last gen with the PS2 (not the handheld market, though), so Sony seems OK for the time being. I have no desire for Sony to go Sega, but people do need to get their facts straight.
The Wii compared to the XBOX 360 and the PS3 it's underpowered, but I think that this time, the PS4 and the upcoming XBOX are overpowered, the Wii U hardware it's fine, it proved that it could run excelente last and new engines, I don't understand why the PS4 has to use 8 cores and 8 GB of RAM, when with less that the half of that hardware could run everything.
The big thing people forget was the battle Sony was in with Toshiba in the drive to make Blu-Ray or HD DVD the high end source of video. Sony won largely because people were buying the PS3 because they were cheaper than actual Blu-Ray players at the time. However, what wasn't seen in 2006 at launch was the rise of a little streaming service like Netflix, which millions of people enjoy and just shows that a lower quality image and a reasonable price is what most people want.
It's possible that the PS4 cost less than 450 dollars?, I didn't think so…
not with all that hardware it has under the hood. I'm expecting another console sold at a loss for Sony. And another slow launch for them.
It always does amaze me at how badly Sony screwed up this gen. People keep trying to push them as some champion of gaming when in fact they're kind of incompetent. Furthermore, the Vita has shown that Sony learned NOTHING from the PSP and I doubt when the PS4's price tag shows up that they're going to show any sign of getting wiser.
And then there's the lack of foresight a lot of game companies have. Currently it almost seems like publishers and developers are trying to bankrupt themselves by pushing visuals and budgets they can't afford. They have no interest in thinking long term and it's really starting to wear down on companies. This reckless behavior HAS to stop.
And I think it is only going to get worse for Sony with the PS4…
When you look at history, whenever a console maker insults another such as Sony insulting Nintendo, it always turns for the worse. The victim of bullying always succeeds. I remember when Atari insulted Sega and Nintendo with their Jaguar, and you see what happened to that console, it led to Atari dropping out the console race. The same happened to the 3DO, it called Genesis and SNES "baby toys" and the 3DO was a colossal failure, the only thing good on that console was the home port of Super Street Fighter II Turbo. In modern times, Jack Tretton (gosh I can't wait till he leaves Sony) insulted Nintendo saying their handhelds are for babysitters, and look what's happening to the Vita…… my point exactly. Pretty much the industry is like high school, you have the sports jock that gets girls and does bad in grades (Sony), you have the rich kid (Microsoft), and you have the nerd that makes straight As and makes his family and whatever friends he has happy (Nintendo).
Wow….that actually sense. So here are the repeating truths of the industry
1. Underpowered always wins
2. Insulting another competitor's console=failure
3. Leaving Nintendo or bringing a franchise that was once on Nintendo consoles=failure and the opposite leads to successThere is more but it seems to be the truth.
That is arrogance and over confidence. It happens all the time in business. They try to get sells by saying their product is better instead of showing that it is better with actual content. Sony is very arrogant and have done that, but that isn't exactly the problems I was thinking of that would make it worse for them with the PS4. I was thinking of the…
– over hype before a price reveal.
– rising development costs that will not use its features leading to more stale games
– few revolutionary features it has that will not appeal to the mainstream…a share button, touch pad?, more RAM…more HD?
– large amount of late adopters to this gen that will probably wait to pick up a PS4.And really the 720…
– possibly having similar specs, which would lead to a similar library splitting their audience
– coming out around the same time while aiming for the same "mature/hardcore/adult" market also splitting their audience.
– having a better launch line up that overshadows the PS4.
– being cheaper than the PS4 but more expensive than the Wii U.
– having more mass appeal than the PS4.Lots of negatives but not many positives.
Don't forget about when Sega ran attack ads against Nintendo saying "Genesis does what Nintendon't"
Every system after the Genesis failed and Sega went under.
what you compared the type of guys to, is what I've been comparing those three two since the Wii…you hit it right on the nail dude!
It depending on the console pricing, the launch games and the online system as a free service or a paid membership service.
Remember Sony likely noticed the revenue stream that MSFT gain from XBL paid service.
And they think having 8GBs of RAM and all this share stuff, play a downloading game, etc. will solve all their problems? WTF. Sony fanboys are in denial if they think the graphics shown on the Killzone 4 trailer is actual gameplay, it's not. I don't want Sony to drop out the console race, but their only killing themselves. The Golden Age of Sony (PS1/PS2/PSP) will always be better and never gets old compared to the Dark Age of Sony (PS3/PS4/PSVita)
I didn't knew they lost alot, i wonder how they will solve it and what price going to be for the ps4 maybe they take the risk the future hold unknown for them.
Thanks for posting this Francis. When Nintendo hits rough spots, people like to spout all kinds of crap and glorify the competition. People need to realize that Nintendo isn't the only one facing challenges.
Does this mean they would have to keep supporting the ps3 to make back their losses? If so, how will they allocate their resources to support the PS3, PS4 and the Vita?
Anyone else miss the PS1 and PS2 days?
Whats really said is that Sony proved to Nintendo that power isn't everything….twice. I think Sony should have made the PS4 in similar specs to the Wii U but they opted for unnecessary power. This could be bad for them. With little to no Japanese support, an emphasis on power and not immersion, it will be the rough for Sony. I won't say they will crumble but they will be hurting.
O_O I knew it was bad, but damn…..that bad….How is the PS4 going to save them now? The lowest possible amount they can sell it at is 450$. Thats not bad but still expensive when considering most of the launch lineup is multi gen multiplats….you know…the ones the Wii U had and some of the multiplats the Wii U is getting. So….This could spell trouble for Sony real bad.
It's just going to cost them more money. They can only blame themselves. They started this trend of selling consoles for a loss, and it's really biting them in the ass. It's pretty crazy they can't even make a profit selling consoles for 599 US dollars. I know I've stated before how bad I think it is for developers how fast Sony and Microsoft are pushing the graphics capabilities of these systems, but it looks like it's really hurting the console manufacturers as well. …And people think Iwata should be fired for realizing what's going on and deciding not to take a $5 billion loss.
I know man. It still blows me away how ingenious the Wii was when they went low power the 7th Gen. Iwata mentioned that the Wii U games were being delayed because of they didn't anticipate the amount of resources they needed to create HD games. They could have hired more people but it wouldn't change much. So that tells me if Nintendo wasn't…"properly prepared" for a true HD, how the hell was Sony or Microsoft prepared for it.
I like to think of it this way…
If you're given the option of someone with 10-15 years of experience, 15-20 years of experience or 25-30 years of experience…..who would you pick?
There's a reason Nintendo has been around this long…..why can't people trust them? I kind of feel like if Nintendo wasn't around, the PS3 and 360 would have been around for another 2 or 3 years before other consoles were announced or possibly even rumored. With the release of one next generation console, the other two companies had to speed up their development just so they wouldn't give Nintendo a 2-3 year head start.
With Nintendo sticking to the usual console life cycle (they didn't plan on the Wii lasting as long as it did, and it shows), and keeping costs low, they force the hands of the other 2. Speeding up R&D burns through cash, especially when they want to be the most powerful ones out there. Given a couple more years of research, Sony could have gone with a normal cpu rather than a tablet version. They possibly could have used graphene which will blow everything out of the water (100tbps wireless transfer speeds, faster through the medium itself. WTF)
Nintendo is effectively filling up the tank, slowly but surely drowning Sony and to a lesser extent Microsoft. They try to keep up, but also forge ahead in the best way they know how….by throwing money at it. If they don't turn things around, Nintendo could very well be the only one left. Tortoise and the hare, bitches.
Edit: You'd think after writing 4 full pages, I wouldn't have anything more to say……
Wow! Nintendo is sooo doomed. Fire Iwata!!!
(trying to get in the mindset of Pachter reading this article.)
In my Public Speaking class, for my Informative Speech project, I decided to speak about the financial situations of the big 3, and I even used your "Microsoft and Sony are Closer to Going Third Party" article as one of my sources.
I find it funny how whenever somebody preaches doom for Nintendo, they often… conveniently forget to mention Microsoft or Sony at all. A lot of 'gamers' in my class had their minds freakin' BLOWN when I talked about Sony.
And apparently, judging from this article, I didn't even scratch the surface. Damn… and the PS4 is supposed to make things better?
Wow… great job… you doing a great job
Pachter is too scared to post Sony's statistics. Some ANALyst he turned out to be.

Your vehicle's engine is fueled by a mix of fuel and oxygen; the oxygen is brought in from outside your car or truck and may be contaminated by bits of dirt and bits of dust. Created out of pleated portions of fiber of cloth with an extraordinarily simple pattern, your Air Filter is placed immediately in front of the intake manifold. Putting in a new Air Filter is one way to vastly improve the reliability of your vehicle's engine, by blocking the contaminants brought in from the outside air.
They are available for the following Acura Integra years: 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 91, 90, 89, 88, 87, 86. This part is also sometimes called Acura Integra Filters. We stock air filter parts for most Acura models including TL, MDX, TSX, RDX, RL, Legend, CL, RSX, ILX, Vigor, EL, ZDX, NSX, SLX and CSX.
We stock these Air Filter brands for the Acura Integra: NPN, Denso, Full and K&N.

XWiki 2.3 Offers New Features for Users and Developers
Annotations, color selections, and improved customizations come to the XWiki CMS.
Among the new features to the user interface is a convenient function to add annotations to text segments by enabling Annotations, selecting the text and pressing Ctrl+M. The annotations become visible by passing over the ensuing yellow icons with the mouse. Annotations can also be edited.
The new ColorTheme editor displays favorite themes in the browser GUI. Without any programming or HTML knowledge, users can click the color palette to choose background and text colors. Also new is the ability for unregistered users to leave comments after completing a captcha, which should prevent automated comment spam.
For developers, the Java-based system provides a ConfigurableClass so that users can configure the application in the XWiki administration.
Further details are on the XWiki homepage. A demo installation is also available, albeit in an earlier version. Downloads of the LGPL software are available in various installation packages. Java 5 is a required.

I had a wonderful stay here! The price was reasonable and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The walk from the Fieberbrunn train station is less than 10 mins. The room was clean and quiet and I had a good sleep. The breakfast was the best I have ever had in a B&B.

Item Added To Cart CANON EOS ELAN 7N 35MM CAMERA BODY Excellent / None |
The all-new EOS ELAN 7N incorporates a host of new features that Canon owners have asked for, including an improved 7-point, wide-area focusing system, a new backlit display, Canon's Whisper Drive technology, and enhanced E-TTL II autoflash, all in a nearly silent, elegant and rugged package. It's never been so easy to achieve perfect focus so quickly. The ELAN 7n has the fastest AF ever in an ELAN-series camera. Whether your subjects are moving or stationary. The ELAN 7n offer class-leading AF that rivals the focus speed of top-of-the-line pro SLRs. With AI Servo, One Shot and AI Focus modes, the AF system can adapt to any situation. AI Servo AF is perfect for moving subjects. The camera follows the subject continuously until the shutter is released, continuously adjusting focus for sharp results. The ELAN 7n has more focusing points and greater off-center focusing coverage than any other camera in its class. Focusing point selection keys make manual selection of focus points effortless, and focus points are clearly displayed in the camera's viewfinder. Built-in Dioptric adjustment corrects for the user's vision, and allows for easy shooting with or without glasses. The EOS ELAN 7n/7ne features an advanced 35-zone evaluative light metering system that is linked to the camera's focusing points. To assure the highest level of contrast and clarity, Canon's AIM system integrates evaluative metering and focus information, but whether using automated 35-zone metering, partial-area metering or center-weighted metering, the ELAN 7n assures that your exposures come out just right. Partial-area metering measures 10% of the viewfinder at the center or around the chosen focusing point, to provide pinpoint accuracy when metering shadows, highlights or subjects against very bright or dark backgrounds. Use the ELAN 7n's command dial to suit the camera to any kind of photographic situation. Choose one of the fully automatic functions in the Image Zone, or, for more user-controlled features, including fully manual operation, click to the Creative Zone. The ELAN 7n features a host of other functions to enhance the photographic experience. Features like AE lock, Auto Exposure Bracketing, Multiple Exposure Control and Self-timer ensure that the ELAN 7n can do anything you want it to. Canon's Whisper Drive quiet film transport technology minimizes film advance noise, even when shooting in continuous mode, making the ELAN 7n the quietest EOS on the market!

5 Amazing....Posted: 09/01/2008This just just become my second favourite FPS of all time (Deus Ex my first!!). Beautiful to look at. Massive (and I mean massive) amount to do. I bought this for very little cash and it's been total value for money. The sense of freedom you get running around the islands is a beautiful experience. You almost feel like sitting on top of one of the mountains with a box of sandwiches and just watch the water lapping up against the beach for a couple of hours whilst getting a tan.. If you like FPS games, you will, without question be well in to this one.. Shame Far Cry 2 is taking soooo long to come out
5 ExcellentPosted: 26/11/2007Despite OSX's ability to look after itself very well. From time to time some MacOs users may create an issue with the directory of OSX by fiddling around..! If you find your operating system is running slowly or behaving strangely, there is no better software to run than Diskwarrior. I have used this software since OS8 and it's got me out of many scrapes. Very easy to use. HIGHLY recommended..

text: A BABY AND A SCANDAL — THE PERFECT MATCH: Sandra Bullock's secret baby has turned into a big cash cow for People magazine. The special double issue on newsstands now, which features a smiling Bullock holding baby Louis on the cover, has sold about 2.8 million copies, according to insiders. The issue, which also features the magazine's annual "World's Most Beautiful People" list, sells for $4.49 a pop. And the money won't stop rolling in for a while, as Bullock's cover will remain on newsstands for another week and a half. Could this turn out to be one of People's most successful covers ever, topping the Michael Jackson tribute issue last summer, which sold a little more than 2.8 million copies, and the photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's new twins that were published back in August 2008? Early estimates are pointing in that direction, although the Bullock cover is unlikely to top People's all-time bestsellers on the deaths of Princess Diana and John F. Kennedy Jr. A spokeswoman could not be reached for comment. — Amy Wicks

My adult nephew that live's with me, fell on some ice last night in front of condominium's, he didn't see the ice and slid, and hit his head and hurt his knee.
Him, being stubborn, that he is, does not want to go to the hospital to be checked out by doctor's. He may have a concussion or some type of head injury or may have hurt his knee, more than he realize's, but he stubbornly went out for a walk, instead of to the hospital, to be examined.
I am stressed out today, but hopefully thing's will improve, in one way or another..

When they're lying down, it mean's it's going to rain. On our bus trip, another visitor piped in, "I saw half the herd standing and the other half lying down. What does this mean?

Funny story taken from the flying cow bulletin:
As a resident physician in radiology, I was speaking with the man whose wife was about to receive a CAT scan of the chest. While the nurse was placing the intraveneous line, I asked the husband if his wife had undergone any more test's. The man named several procedure's involving various body part's, but he couldn't remember one particular test. Thinking out loud, he said, "What is the thing that women have that men don't?" His wife was quick to answer, "A brain, dear."
December 30, 2014, 4:09 pmI am not making any new year's resolution's..
I tried making resolution's in the past; because other people were doing it, only to fail.
Such as getting the money to rent a apartment or rent or buy a house. That didn't happen.
I put alot of pressure on myself to be like everybody else. And I am not like everybody else.
I walk by pretty house's and wander what kind of live's the people have that live in them.
So now i will just take one day as it come's, that is my resolution..
So everybody else, you should not put pressure on yourselve's either..

I pay him $600 a week, plus room and board. I have a cook. She's been here six month's. She get's $500 a week, plus room and board. " Anybody else? asked the agent as he scribbled on a note pad. "Yeah, " the farmer said. "This guy is none too bright. Work's about eighteen hour's a day. I pay him ten dollars a week and give him chewing tobacco." "Aha!" the agent roared. "I want to talk to that man!" "Speaking," said the farmer.
July 29, 2014, 6:03 pmI dialed the 911 operator accidently!
I was attempting to press the #111 on a cell phone to add air time, and instead pressed # 911, because I wasn't wearing my eyeglasses'; anyway I got the emergency number 911, and the operator was not too happy to receive my call. I apologized to her, telling her that I had not been wearing my glasses, and was trying to add air time to a phone; and pressed the wrong digit's.
She did not see the humour in it,and asked me what was the state of my emergency.
I apologized to her again, and quickly got off the cell phone.
I thought that is was funny, apparently, she did not at the time.
Thought that I would share my funny day..
July 14, 2014, 2:42 pmTravelling Anywhere
I keep thinking about getting a passport to travel. Living in Canada I want to get out of my comfort zone, and go somewhere different.
Though I do have a fear of flying on an airplane, as well as train travel.
But I do want to get on an airplane and just experience another city, another town. Maybe make friend's on my journey. And basically find out where life take's me.
Where have you gone out of your comfort zone, and was it a worthwhile adventure for you?

More than Meets The Eye - Technology Behind the Design
Sikk Shades uses Flash Electric™ Lens Technology for its sports sunglasses. Flash Electric™ lenses basically act as filters that block more bad (short wave) light and allow more good (long wave) light to come in, cutting glare as well as Polarized, but without all the prism effects, distance skews, and distortions experienced with some Polarized lenses. Other lenses, including many Polarized, can block too much of the good light necessary for proper vision, tricking the eyes, resulting in dilated pupils. Having bigger pupils means that more harmful radiation can enter your eyes… not cool!
See for yourself...
All Sikk Shades Sports Sunglasses…
- Let in the good light while blocking bad light with Flash Electric™ technology
- Are perfectly weighted and balanced so they remain comfortable after long hours on the slope, trail, water, or course

Your health care provider may prescribe medication that you breathe in using a metered-dose inhaler (MDI). An inhaler delivers a measured amount of medication in a fine mist.
Shake the inhaler and remove the cap.
Take a deep breath and let it out.
Close your lips around the end of the inhaled mouthpiece. Or, if you were told to use the "open-mouth" method, hold the inhaler 1-2 inches from your mouth.
Breathe in slowly and deeply as you press down on the inhaler to release the medication.
Inhale fully.
Hold your breath for a count of 10.
Then breathe out slowly through your mouth.
Repeat these steps for each puff of medication prescribed.
If the inhaler is being used for the first time or has not been used for a while, prime it as directed by the manufacturer. Important information about the inhaled medication can be found in the package insert, the paper that comes with the medication.
If you use more than one inhaler, make sure you know which to use first.
Your health care provider or pharmacist can help you with correctly using your inhaler. Even if you think you are using it correctly, it is still a good idea to check.

Chipotle Mexican Grill has joined the Fair Food Program, which brings better wages and working conditions for the people who harvest most of the nation's winter tomato crop, according to news-press.com.
The chain has been in debates since 2006 with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a nonprofit farmworker group, that questioned Chipotle's "food with integrity" mantra, alleging that the company purchased tomatoes from farms that underpay and often mistreat their workers.
"With this agreement, we are laying down a foundation upon which we all – workers, growers, and Chipotle – can build a stronger Florida tomato industry for the future," said coalition member Gerardo Reyes in a statement. "But more than this, today's news marks a turning point in the sustainable food movement as a whole, whereby, thanks to Chipotle's leadership, farmworkers are finally recognized as true partners — every bit as vital as farmers, chefs, and restaurants — in bringing 'good food' to our tables."
The chain is the 11th company to join the CIW's Fair Food Program.

Men flee India gang-rape village as outrage intensifies
Published on Jan 24, 2014 6:23 PM
SUBALPUR (AFP) - Male residents fled an Indian village Friday after the alleged gang-rape of a young woman on the orders of tribal elders as police told of how locals tried to prevent her from reporting her ordeal.
A total of 13 men have been arrested over the assault on the 20-year-old which was allegedly as punishment for "dishonouring" her community, a scattering of mud huts set amid palm trees and fields of rice and mustard.
Her ordeal on Tuesday night, when she was taken to a thatched shed and repeatedly assaulted for a relationship she was having with a Muslim man, has rekindled the outrage in India over the treatment of women.
Neighbours described the victim as a charming woman and said she planned to marry the Muslim companion.

Amplified OTDR Systems for Multipoint Corrosion Monitoring
Received: 17 January 2012 / Revised: 28 February 2012 / Accepted: 7 March 2012 / Published: 12 March 2012
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Optical Fiber Sensors)
Abstract: We present two configurations of an amplified fiber-optic-based corrosion sensor using the optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) technique as the interrogation method. The sensor system is multipoint, self-referenced, has no moving parts and can measure the corrosion rate several kilometers away from the OTDR equipment. The first OTDR monitoring system employs a remotely pumped in-line EDFA and it is used to evaluate the increase in system reach compared to a non-amplified configuration. The other amplified monitoring system uses an EDFA in booster configuration and we perform corrosion measurements and evaluations of system sensitivity to amplifier gain variations. Our experimental results obtained under controlled laboratory conditions show the advantages of the amplified system in terms of longer system reach with better spatial resolution, and also that the corrosion measurements obtained from our system are not sensitive to 3 dB gain variations.

Texas Tech Red Raiders (13-18)
@Texas A&M Aggies (23-7)
Saturday, March 05
Reed Arena
Attendance: 12,377
Texas Tech
Texas A&M
College Station, TX (Sports Network) - David Loubeau poured in 21 points as the 24th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies clinched the No. 3 seed in the upcoming Big 12 Tournament with a 66-54 victory over the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Khris Middleton added 13 points and five rebounds for the Aggies (23-7, 10-6 Big 12), who will receive a first-round bye in the conference tournament.
Nathan Walkup and Dash Harris each donated eight points for Texas A&M, which snapped a two-game skid.
David Tairu finished with 14 points for the Red Raiders (13-18, 5-11), who have lost three of four to end the regular season. D'walyn Roberts chipped in with 11 points and 11 boards.
The Aggies led by as many as seven in the first half and took a 30-26 edge into the locker room.
"This was another good win for us, I thought Tech really played well the first half, when we would make a run, they would hit a big shot," Aggies coach Mark Turgeon said. "I thought they were a lot tougher than us in the first half."
Texas A&M pulled away early in the second half, starting the frame on a 13-4 run. Loubeau tallied nine points during the burst, which Middleton capped with a free throw for a 43-30 margin with over 14 minutes to play.
Holding a 50-40 lead with over 6 1/2 minutes remaining, Texas A&M scored seven consecutive points to put the game away. Walkup capped the burst with a layup and a three-pointer to make it a 17-point contest.
"We didn't shoot well, but I don't want to take anything away from Texas A&M," Texas Tech coach Pat Knight said. "If we don't miss a dunk, we're only down by eight and it's a totally different ball game. We had our chances, we just didn't capitalize."

Having lived most of my life in the northeast U.S., I am enjoying retired life in sunny Florida. I enjoy photographing many different kinds of things, but especially flowers and animals, including the beautiful birds found here in Florida. I am currently using a Canon EOS Rebel XSi/450D camera, a Canon 55-250 mm telescopic zoom lens, and a Sony P10 Cyber-shot digital camera. My newest acquisition is a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS, a point and shoot which I will be carrying in my purse.

Beautiful Dot… new camera?? Enjoy!!!!! xxxxx
Thanks much, Cookie! Yes, a new toy for me. My old Sony pocket camera takes great pics, but it was so limited in pixels (5mp) and zoom (3x). So far I like this new one a lot! Can't always carry around my Canon DSLR, so it will be nice to have this one in my purse. :-))

I LOVE mine…. it is 14 Megapixels.. but my ZOOM isn't great…. does good Macros tho.. LOL xx
I thought this one was more mp, but it's 12.1. The 20x zoom is what I really like! Of course if it's a Canon it's gotta be great, right?
– AuntDot
Very pretty image, you take nice photos with your new camera.
So kind of you, my friend. I really like this new camera, especially for closeups. I can get within 2 inches of the subject instead of 9 inches for my other two cameras.

Thank you, John. I appreciate that very much!

Welcome Yogi's!
Did your love of yoga lead you to complete a teacher training because you wanted to share this gift with the ENTIRE WORLD?
Me too!
Did you start teaching part-time only to find yourself wanting more-maybe even to quit your "day job?"
Same here!
Are you FINALLY realizing being a successful teacher means more than just teaching? It means becoming a YOGA ENTREPRENEUR. As good as you teach, your business skills NEED to be up to par. Especially with so many yoga teachers out there-you must learn to STAND OUT and get BIZ SAVVY!
I'm so happy you're here.
You are done struggling and you want more. Being a yoga teacher is awesome but being a yoga entrepreneur is awesomeness!
lifestyle & career coaching for Yoga Teachers
Are you sick and tired of driving from one class to the next hoping to (barely) pay your bills?
Resentful you teach most evenings and can't spend time with family and friends?
Wondering HOW you are actually going to make this yoga thing work?
Are you finally ready to take things to the next level in your life and biz?
Do you have a longing deep down to serve others in a huge way?
Do you crave more fun, adventure and freedom with your time?
Let me take you through a simple, step-by-step process to create the life you want. LET YOUR SOUL BE HAPPY! We'll break it down into manageable pieces that get you EXCITED about what you're creating. This is YOUR LIFE right?
I'm ERIN PELUSO and I'm here to help you do what you love while making a lot of $$$ so you can have more freedoms in life.
Who said yoga teachers and heart-centered peeps had to be broke to be more spiritual anyway? It's complete BULL&%$#!
When I turned 30 I decided to move across the country, from New Jersey to California, alone. Yes my family and friends were in shock and it was the hardest thing I have ever done. Truly. Pulling my little sister out of school to say our goodbyes in the hallway was THE HARDEST thing ever. BUT it was the BEST thing I have ever done. NO REGRETS.
In Cali I met a man named Max Simon. He is the son of Dr. David Simon, Co- founder of the Chopra Center along with Deepak Chopra. We spent a lot of time together and we became amazing friends. He challenged me in lots of ways. He said to me, "You know what I really dislike? How you complain about your job to me every day." I replied "Really? I didn't know I was THAT gal. I can't tolerate people who complain about things and don't do anything to change them.
We meet no one but ourselves right?…so this made perfect sense as to why I disliked those kinds of people. I was one of them! What was holding me back from change? FEAR. Max then said "You have to read this book. It's great and it's just what you need." He handed me The Passion Test by Janet and Chris Attwood. I read it over and over again and fell in love with it. The book changed the course of my life. In the book you discover your top 5 passions. One of my passions was to teach yoga again. You see, I used to teach in NJ but the yoga in California was like the fashion in Paris. Think the Yoga Mecca. I didn't feel my teaching was up to par. I really wanted to complete another yoga teacher training but I couldn't afford it. Since teaching came up on my passion list though, I stepped up and had faith things would work. As Janet says in the book, don't worry HOW just figure out the WHAT! My WHAT was yoga.
Two weeks later I answered an ad on craigslist for a yoga teacher. It didn't give too many details but I got a phone call from a girl named Dani. We totally hit it off, she was from NJ too! After speaking to her I learned the position was for Yogaworks, one of the top studios in the world, AND it came with a free 200 hour teacher training! Yes, I said FREE! I couldn't believe it! That was just the start of my journey…wondering what yours would look like? Click here to read more about me….

There is also a new feature that allows you to save a favorite contact as a home screen icon for even faster navigation.
Grab the latest version of your favorite flavor IM client:
After encountering a half-zillion different IM clients the other week, we thought it might be prudent to throw them all in the ring together and see how they compare. It's a beefy list, indeed… in terms of stand-alone clients, we have BlackBerry Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and Google Talk. Among the multi-platform apps, we have Palringo, IM+, Mundu, Instango, JiveTalk, and WebMessenger.
AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ and Microsoft Live Messenger are also options if you're packing a supported device.
The full monster-god of BlackBerry instant messenger reviews is behind the jump!
We told you during WES about RIM's partnership with Microsoft to bring Windows Live and push Hotmail support to BlackBerry, due out sometime later this summer. However, the eager beavers over at BerryReview have jumped the gun and gotten their hands on two pre-release screenshots.
I have to admit it does look okay, but really, who wants to put a Microsoft product on their BlackBerry? Check out a list of Windows Live feature specs after the jump.

Venom Ink Two More from Championship Team
Veteran George Murray and Zachary Ducker sign to rejoin the team.
NASHVILLE (August 24, 2014)- After signing a key component of the defense in DT Walter Thomas, General Manager/Head Coach Billy Back worked on the offensive side of the ball signing veteran WR George Murray and Zachary Ducker to contracts today. Terms of both deals were not disclosed.
Murray caught 51 passes for 551 yards and 13 TDs in the regular season last season. The fifth year veteran added nine catches for 99 yards and one TD in the playoffs. The versatile Murray was also called upon early in the season to play QB. He completed 35 of 67 passes for 414 yards. He threw 10 TDs and four interceptions in two games. He also rushed 11 times for 62 yards and two TDs.
Ducker played sparingly in his rookie season with the Venom. He grabbed two passes for 35 yards and rushed one time for four yards. Ducker like Murray is also versatile. He is currently undefeated at QB for the Nashville Storm of the Gridiron Developmental Football League. He is trying to lead the Storm to their second consecutive championship.
"Having guys that play multiple positions is important in this league," said Back. When George and Zach dress we can play them at receiver and they both can be called upon if needed at QB. That frees up a roster space on game days for us. George also helps us because he is a tireless worker. He shows our young players how to prepare correctly and what it takes to play at this level. Zach is a pure athlete. To be honest we really didn't know how to use him last season. Now that he has a season under his belt he will see the field a lot more. I am excited to have these guys sign. They both bring a lot to the table."
Before the playoffs in 2014, Murray contemplated retiring after the season. His desire was to be more available to his family. His wife and children were mainstays at Venom games and practices. Immediately after the championship game he changed his mind and voiced his desire to come back for another season.
"My family is important to me so they all were part of this decision," said Murray. Being in Nashville made it easier for them to come to my games. They loved it there so the response was a resounding yes when I asked them if they want me to still play. Winning a championship at my age makes you want to do it again. Most young guys think it is easy when they get it early in their career. Winning just makes me hungrier for more. We are excited to be back in the fold. The time is now for me to prepare to win another one."
