Hey, I feel the same... I am going to purchase it and MAKE the action happen. I too spend hour on top of hour in front of my pc.. Now I will have a goal.. do something weekly/daily that is action cam worthy. Make it happen.

Just a PSA for those looking for a headcam set up. REI has the GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition for about $80 off for members. Consensus is to thoroughly read the manual and update the ware before usage. I don't have one but some maybe interested with the GoPro. http://www.rei.com/product/849164/gopro-hero3-black-edition-wide-angle-helmet-cam I'm still thinking about this woot offer so waiting for more reviews.
Boy Woot has gone downhill since they were bought out. I tried to cancel my order 10 minutes after I placed it and was told I couldn't. I read about all of the sound problems with this thing and had a change of heart. Think this was my last ever purchase from woot. Pretty poor customer service.

I had an issue w/mine very shortly after purchase from an earlier woot. The battery contact broke off, I Jerry rigged it to work but figured it should get fixed since it was so new...so I contacted swann USA and they were very prompt w/their email responses. I however was not and ended up sending it back like 7 months later. A few weeks later they ended up sending me me an entirely new setup w/all the accessories even tho I only sent them the cam, plus they payed for shipping when they said they wouldn't...not too shabby in my book.

In an effort to ship faster, we are releasing orders every few hours. This is shipping from an FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) warehouse. Once the order is released, it's out there with thousands of other orders and can be retrieved. Sorry.

Horrible service. I sent the request within 10 minutes. At any rate, you will be getting the item back.
vpierce wrote:Since my primary purpose for such a camera is to mount on my motorcycle for road trips, your notes were very helpful. The high pitch audio noise however was very annoying to me. I have a couple of questions please. Have you found a way to remove that audio noise? What handlebar mount(s) do you use?
I didn't do it in my first couple of videos, but my video editing software does have a way to completely strip the audio track, which I will do in the future. It is horribly "tinny", but that is probably mostly a 'feature' of a small condenser microphone. As to mounts, I've found a couple that I like on Ebay. I use ones that have the standard size 'ball' to mount the camera on, as it is easier when wearing motorcycle gloves to loosen the ball clamp and put the camera on another mount. Rather than removing the entire mount to reposition it. I have one that is this style that I really like. It seems quite sturdy and secure. And I have a couple like this that I don't like so much, as the plastic seems a bit on the flimsy side. They work OK and were cheap, though.
davidwess wrote:Will this work as a car cam? I would like to mount it on my front windshield facing forward, (like the Russians did to get their great meteor shots).
That's what I use mine for. Only I'm not shooting meteors. I'm trying to catch the Chumlys who try to make a right turn from the left lane or who are completely unaware there are other cars on the road.
I'm in for one. I don't really care about the audio but I do hope the video is nice and clear for motorcycling and snorkeling. I noticed that lots of them have been sold in Montana...

Hmm...I've now seen 'chumly' used rather positively to now here negatively. I'm so confused. Is this some woot replacement word or something?

Well, for one, The Beast is easily the worst beer in America. That aside, I agree with your cleverly worded opinion on this MFA student's writing. The extent of their writing education seemed to be the dictionary definition of a simile. I have never since my young teenage sisters cell phone seen the word "like" said so many times. I like the idea of students writing the write ups, that I hold no qualms with, but I do request, at least, a more well educated student. 'Twas a poor write up I say. 'Twas impoverished indeed.

I bet its a replacement for Chumly. Yup! "I D I O T" Chumly acts that way on Pawn Stars, but I get the feeling its just an act (pretty sure). Hes actually pretty smart when it comes to video games, recent culture items like shoes, etc.
flyrodder68 wrote: I'm still thinking about this woot offer so waiting for more reviews.
FYI, this cam has been sold many times on Woot, so if you search you will find many Woot Community threads with many reviews - plus Amazon, etc.
Not good for Motorcycle videos. I was hoping to capture good video with the swan but it has a very bad "jello" effect from vibrations that make the video hard to watch. Audio as other have mentioned is also not very good. It does work good as an underwater camera though. I might try it as a dash board cam in my car for a bit...
hysonmb wrote:This cam mounts perfectly fine with a GoPro suction cup mount. I haven't tried other mounts but I've had this stuck to various points on my car during track runs and it's solid. We just did a run to a big meet-up yesterday and I had mine stuck to the windshield of the car. You'll want to edit the sound as you hear nothing but air for the most part while driving and there is a noise that sounds like feedback from the indicator light that gets captured in the video but for the price it's an excellent choice. This is not a final cut video but gives an idea of what the FreeStyle captures. I should have cleaned to housing first, normally video is a little better but this is close enough.
The pic is great, but the sound is absolutely aweful!
theguruguys wrote:Yup! "I D I O T"
Thanks. Odd word to censor, and odder yet the replacement word. And I guess I'd better re-evaluate that prior "positive" read I saw.
I got one of these last time it was on Woot, and I have had no problems, with either the audio (high pitched whine others mentioned) or video quality. I mounted it to my motorcycle and to my snowboard with the attached mounts. Just remember to use a leash. As far as GoPro mount compatibility goes, all the 'arms' are compatible - it's just the actual adhesive mount that isn't...
Fardinando wrote:I thought about this too. Looking at the manual, the unit shuts off when it fills up. It doesn't look like you can configure it to record a loop of the last "n" hours, which is what you want from a dash cam. If you want to remember to erase it and start it every time you get in the car, then I guess you could do that -- but you'll probably forget the one time something happens.
That's too bad. There's a video here of the cam mounted in a car, and it is pretty good. but, I would definitely forget to erase the card each time, no doubt about it.

Not that chumly. There's a theme for the filters.
I bought this a while back. I think the price point was about $125. I am not happy with the quality compared to the GoPro. It is higher priced for a reason and you definitely get what you pay for.
eumel789 wrote:The pic is great, but the sound is absolutely aweful!
The sound actually isn't bad. I wouldn't expect much better out of any camera mounted on a windshield (outside) at 60+ MPH.
I bought this camera last fall, Took it to vegas and hoover dam, it took some 'dam' good pictures. video is decent, I went with a gopro 3:Black recently because I want an external mic. any sort of wind DESTROYS any sounds that you want to listen to. P.S. You get the screen and the remote with this kit and they work flawless.
Anyone else exited to see what woot does for April Fools?
apuster wrote:Anyone else exited to see what woot does for April Fools?
Ready and waiting
Not expecting anything and ready to exit right back to bed if they don't have anything interesting for April Fool's.
This is horrible. I have been waiting for the action cam to cycle through (pun fit well here). Again, I am too late to pick up one. Perhaps they can a "woot's next" update. It would go well with the site.
you can configure it to overwrite mode so that it continuously overwrites previous recorded files with new ones... otherwise you have to delete the files when it fills up... I got a larger SD card so I could have more footage before it overwrote...
So I got mt camera today and was wondering if anyone knows what the 2 small rubber washers with sticky on them are used for?
Has anyone else NOT received their camera yet? 10 days is a long time for shipping from Washington to SoCal.

Strange, so far no negative criticism ragarding OSS ATI drivers and trolling.
Phoronix: Further Testing Shows More Hope For ATI Gallium3D
A week ago I reported on the open-source ATI driver becoming a lot faster thanks to the KMS page-flipping support finally landing in the mainline Linux kernel and xf86-video-ati driver, tiling improvements, and lots of work going into the R300g/R600g Gallium3D drivers. The open-source ATI Gallium3D is not conclusively faster than the proprietary Catalyst driver is, but it's becoming a much more competitive race. In last week's article an ATI Mobility Radeon GPU was used to illustrate these improvements, but in this follow-up article are the Linux benchmark results for three discrete Radeon graphics cards using the stock Ubuntu 10.10 open-source ATI driver, the last R500-supported Catalyst Linux driver, and then the latest open-source driver bits from the Linux 2.6.38 kernel.
Strange, so far no negative criticism ragarding OSS ATI drivers and trolling.
just looked at the graphs of the article and gallium isn't that far back compared to Catalyst
Quite impressive, keep it up!
Which version of Catalyst was used?
What about R600g? Cause most of the pepole nowadays have newer cards.
OpenArena 1920x1080 chart. What's going on there? Why are the faster ASICs showing progressively worse performance?
Wau impressive. Big kudos to every oss driver developer!
The oss driver is really shaping up very nicely.
I will say, the R300 performance is really damn impressive. I also really loved seeing that Catalyst got smoked in one of the benchmarks. If only that result could extend to all the other tests, extend to newer cards, and somehow get OGL 4.1. I think it will be pretty cool once the devs start actually optimizing the R600G driver.

My first thought:
Dont blink.
Blink and youre dead.
Dont turn your back.
Dont look away.
And dont blink.
My first thought is that hopefully they can get rid of the absolutely TERRIBLE performance problems, but then I realized that other khtml browsers are actually fast, so its not the rendering engine at fault.
In other words... who the hell cares? Chrome is going to remain a complete turd.
Was about f'ing time. Many Chromium bug reports were closed as upstream WebKit problems, with Google unable to do anything about them. It was getting ridiculous.
This seems silly to me considering that Chrome on iOS will continue to use Webkit according to people in #blink on freenode.
When Opera switched to WebKit I was bummed (monoculture, Chrome+skin, abandoned Presto, etc) but thinking that at least they got WebKit and this might be a good this in the end felt right. But now... daaam

Priscilla Presley Gossip
Priscilla Presley gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Cilla is the Evil Queen
Priscilla Presley will be playing the Evil Queen in the Snow White pantomime at the New Wimbledon Theatre beginning in December so f-ck off Julia Roberts and Charlize Theron. Here she is with her castmates, including Professor Flitwick, at the photocall in London today. Remember when Priscilla met Elvis when she was 14 and he was not close to being 14 at all? I feel like this might be a recurring theme today too. Full Story
The strong Presley genes
I may have mentioned before that when I was 12 or so, around then give or take a year or two, I was OBSESSED with Elvis. Listened to the songs all the time, read the biographies, learned what quaaludes are, because he used to take them by the handful, and wished I was Priscilla Presley even though she was straight up a child when Elvis fell in love with her on that army base.

If you tried to go online to order something from L.L. Bean late Monday, you may have experience a little trouble. That's because the company said its website jammed.
"Yesterday was screaming busy" and "the joint was jumping," said Carolyn Beem, a spokeswoman for L.L. Bean.
Beem said many people were ordering online and taking advantage of Cyber Monday and a promotion which is still good until midnight Tuesday.
The promotion is 10 percent off all online purchases.
All systems are now back to normal, Beem said.

FINANCIAL SERVICES BLOG -- MICHAEL McKEOWN
Debt ceiling debacle
Blog Entry:
January 17, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: MICHAEL McKEOWN
Michael McKeown
Michael McKeown is director of research for
Aurum Wealth Management Group
. He is responsible for leading the firm's investment research on capital markets, investment managers, and the proprietary Ultra Modern Portfolio Theory.
Since 1944, America's debt ceiling was increased 94 times! Usually just a formality in Congress now seems like awful theatre.
Nearly 18 months ago, I penned observations on the last debt ceiling debate. Not much changed since July 2011 and with today's similar discussion, I will admittedly recycle the three major points I had then and have now. (Note: With clients and friends on both sides of the political aisle, we base research on empirical evidence and not to prove anyone right or wrong.)
Not Worried About Payment
This is about willingness to pay, not ability.
But isn't the US turning into Greece, you say? Sorry, but that is apples and oranges. Greece gave up its monetary sovereignty when it gave up the drachma and joined the Euro currency, ceding authority to the European Central Bank. Greece is to Europe as Wyoming is to the United States. Greece is a currency user, just like the state of Wyoming when it issues debt. In contrast, the US federal government is a currency issuer (BIG difference here) and always has the ability to supply currency.
Unsure About Credit Rating Impact
In the late summer of 2011, capital markets felt reverberations as S&P downgraded U.S. government debt. Interestingly, the securities that were downgraded (Treasuries) actually went up in price when a rating agency said default risk increased. Odd how that worked out…
It is dangerous to base today's expectations on this one sample, but Fitch and Moody's made the same threat of late. The last several months of headlines distracted from the robustness of the US economic recovery, yet a downgrade of US government bonds, the risk- free pillar of capital markets, is not welcome. It could have repercussions across other asset classes as Treasuries form the base for capital asset pricing, or it may not. This is an unknown.
Worried About Tone of Austerity
It seems unnecessary to prove another time that extracting money from the private sector, through increasing taxes or less expenditure, puts the economy in a worse place. Growth gets lowered (note that economists uniformly lowered growth expectations due to the fiscal cliff) and debt to GDP ratios end up worse off afterwards (please see Greece, Spain, Italy today versus 2010, even though budget deficits actually fell). It didn't work for the US economy in 1937 when Roosevelt raised taxes and slowed spending and does not help today.
The theatrics of this debate would be comical if it wasn't tragic. Without Washington's worst efforts causing collateral damage to the real economy, a virtuous cycle of growth might begin, bringing more prosperity to the private sector.

If you want, I can post the bread recipe and you can experiment with it.
Say it ain't so!! I can't bear the thought that it's not the same...and that I'll never, ever taste that taste again! I dream of returning to the champaign/urbana area just to have garcia's again and also a place called monical's (for thin crust pizza). My parents returned there several years back and noticed the garcia's had closed (in a town near champaign) and promptly sent me a sympathy card to help mourn the passing. JonesinForPizza, you've just gotta get in touch w/ your manager friend and pick his brain for ALL the ins-n-outs of how it used to be.I must go now and find a shoulder to cry on.

Those screenshots gave me an idea. What happens if you use those red and green 3D glasses?
Since I did a clean install for the previous Ubuntu release it was at least a year since I read the instructions for the ppa.
You don't need to feel sorry for me because purging it was the first thing I did and I didn't even need to read the instructions to figure it out. I even expected the upgrade to fail. Since I was upgrading to a beta release of the distribution I figured that I could as well do a small experiment to see what happened. As expected the error message received wasn't helpful, it just told you that it failed.
Therefore it's much better to recommend someone to upgrade their Ubuntu system before they even installing the latest drivers. That way they'll receive the latest kernel and a much newer driver. If everything works to their expectation ńo further tampering is needed, but if not, they just need to enable the xorg-edgers ppa without having to install the latest kernel. Using the defaults is of course safer since it won't prevent future updates of Ubuntu.
Good, so I'm not the only one having OpenGL issues (which seem to be mostly texture related) with my Evergreen card . Also I'm wondering how to do proper benchmarking with the oss stack, because even with export vblank_mode=0 games seem to be capped at 60fps most of the times.Originally Posted by phoronix
Hi. Speaking of 3D glasses, I do have a couple of questions about the Gallium driver for our AMD friend:
- Are there plans to enable stereo rendering in the driver?
- If so, will the driver support gsync for multi-card stereo rendering
One of the classic problems (at least with the software / systems I use) with drivers is getting correct gsync behavior with stereo. I'm not sure if the Gallium framework has anything stereo related included, but it'd be nice to see open drivers tackle this problem. With 3D capable TV's / displays it'll become very important in the near future.
The code is pretty much all ported from r600c and is in a branch in my mesa repo it just needs to be debugged so the gpu doesn't lockup straight away hopefully today more likely nest week
Building this into the opengl state tracker and thereby ignoring the spec and doing so while the OpenGL implementation isn't ready sounds like a bad idea to me.
BTW Ioquake already has stereographic 3D build right in, so it doesn't require being a driver thing.

Skillful draping of our positively posh knit creates a sophisticated dress in sync with a woman's curves. It's undeniably feminine, and sublimely soft, from a surplice wrap to a cascade of shirred pleats falling from an artful twist at the hip. We love it with the Oh My Gorgeous Lace Cami Bra for added coverage and support—or just a pretty peek of lace.

Of course the performance is going to be poor, but look at this way: WineD3D can only get better, and it's the only factor in getting your games to run!
Does a game have a problem with the .net framework, or steam, or copy protection or some other stupid thing? Well since it's running natively in windows, that won't be an issue anymore!
You're not going to be able to play Crysis without a beast of a machine, but at least I can play Age of Empires 2.

I have Xpress 200m card and recently upgraded my system to Jaunty. 3D now is very slow. Although Compiz is working fine, I can not play any 3D games. Even PPracer is very slow (7-9 FPS).
Glxgears in Jaunty:
1454 frames in 5.0 seconds = 290.765 FPS
1737 frames in 5.0 seconds = 347.231 FPS
1365 frames in 5.1 seconds = 269.623 FPS
1718 frames in 5.0 seconds = 343.483 FPS
I had above 1100 FPS in 8.10 with 6.12.1 OS driver from git.
Today, I tried Fedora 11 LiveCD - the same problem. Glxgears gave only 140 FPS.
I know that this is not the best place to post a bug report, but I am waiting for the perfect driver for this card for more than 2 years and ATI stopped supporting our cards. So, OS driver is only option for us. (I think it is too early for me to buy a new laptop).
You can find my bug report here:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ti/+bug/347569
Thank you for any help.
Alex, thank you very much for this link.
I patched r300_context.c and now I am back:
5655 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1130.871 FPS
5656 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1131.106 FPS
5654 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1130.648 FPS
I am happy again.
I am still trying to improve the 3d performance of my Xpress 200M in Ubuntu 9.04. Recently, Maciej Cencora introduced the set of patches to the radeon-rewrite branch that should solve the problem with R300 regression. I compiled this Mesa version, installed it and got the hard lockups of the system in some 3d games: etracer, nexuiz – a black window with the cursor in the left-up corner. However, Compiz works fine. Here what I did:
1) downloaded the last version of radeon-rewrite;
2) ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr;
3) make;
4) sudo make install; and restarted the system.
I noticed that the libs were installed in the correct position. I also tried the last libdrm from xorg-edgers.
Did I miss something or the new mesa stuff is still not ready for this card?
Thank you.
PS We are urgently waiting for a solution since fglrx does not support these cards in 9.04.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the solution mentioned in the second post does not work either - it lockups the system after few minutes in the game.
Last edited by sergus; 04-28-2009 at 02:59 PM.
Please file bug reports (https://bugs.freedesktop.org) for apps that don't work with radeon-rewrite so we can get them fixed.
Ok. I will post the bug report. But I first want to be sure that I correctly installed the Mesa stuff. Did I?
Sorry. My fault. I had "EnablePageFlip" "on" in my xorg.conf. This option worked fine in Mesa 7.4 but hangs the system completely in radeon-rewrite. Should I report this as a bug for mesa?
Without PageFlip, 3d works fine but the performance is still not great:
etracer 6-10 FPS (almost unplayable);
nexuiz 5-8 FPS (unplayable);
glxgears is Ok (~1100 FPS).
Anyway, thank you guys for your work.

Hobo Chic
If the slumping economy is bringing you nightmares straight from the 80's of a suffering stock market, inflated cost of living, and an inexplicable rise in the popularity of MC Hammer pants, you're not alone. Today, even the typically robust Austin housing market posted a 4% drop in housing prices over last year. Not a good sign. And cities across America have been so hard hit by the recent wave of foreclosures that tent cities have sprung up like mushrooms in the shadow of a dark econolyptic fallout cloud.
For now, Sacramento, CA, appears to be the capital of Hooverville, thanks in part to efforts by the Governator to set aside sanctioned areas for what one can only hope will be temporary living quarters.
SF Gate ran a sad story with lots of pictures featuring people eating out of tin cans and drying wet blankets on clotheslines, straight out of a Walker Evans/James Agee report on the 30's dustbowl. But somehow I find this image of a guy playing frisbee with his dog the saddest. Dude, that is a tire.
Now hubby and I are fortunate enough to live a comfortable — if modest — life. But we've got a baby on the way so he's (at least temporarily) the sole breadwinner, and if hubby got laid off we'd be living in a tent down by the river faster than you could say, "Rest in peace, Chris Farley."
My point is that it could happen to any of us, so I think we need to come up with a contingency plan, because I don't want to live in a filthy tent while my poop smeared baby plays with tires. I want to be homeless in style.
Plan 1: Squat in one of these amazing abandoned Detroit homes. Detroit's real estate market has been decimated so completely that the median home price there has fallen to $18k, and an increasing number of people are fleeing the city center and moving outwards.
It's a sad fact that real estate is all about location, location, location, because any one of these homes would fetch $500k plus in an historic Austin neighborhood. Since I'll never be able to afford to buy one of those, I imagine that I would enjoy playing house in a ramshackle Victorian, Craftsman, or even a crumbling farmhouse, while blissfully ignoring the hoopty whips, potholes and plywood doors all around me. Beggars can't be choosers, right?
Plan 2: Build a cardboard spaceship and wait to be rescued by aliens, because you know Calgon ain't gonna take you away.
Seriously, Miwa Takabayashi designed this cardboard structure to fit inside a mall, so that it could serve as a "refuge for our over-simulated and consumer-driven world." Or it could serve as a house in our very under-stimulated world. If you still want to pitch your cardboard tent inside the ghost mall, that's your own decision; I'm sure the mall would be grateful to have even the appearance of consumers these days.
As long as I'm living in a cardboard house, I'd like a matching cardboard office. Obviously existentialist creative agency, Nothing, set up this corrugated funhouse in Amsterdam.
True, I may have to scale back the designs a wee bit to fit inside my space pod, but I'm pretty stoked that I can steal electricity from the mall and run it through cardboard. That's not a fire hazard, is it? At any rate, I'm going to need a place to plug in my computer so I can keep blogging. Joblessness should leave us with some extra time on our hands.
Oh, ok. Maybe these sweet structures aren't really in keeping with the whole "Tent City" vibe.
Plan 3: Live in a house that looks like a tent. See, it's a house, but it has a tent facade! It should blend right in with the other homeless homes, right?
What? It's totally down to earth. Look how minimal it is, what with the plywood walls, no pillow action and cheap folding chairs. Ok, so although it's restrained, it's not exactly living free. The glass alone must have cost a mint, but maybe I could fake it with some sticks and saran wrap?
FINE. I'll take it down another notch.
Plan 4: Live in an actual tent city. Is this proletarian enough for you? Look enough like a tent city? Because that's what it is. Tents. Together. Forming a city. Well, if I have to live in an actual tent, I'd at least like it to be pretty and colorful, like these tents set up by Studio Orta.
Whee, so whimisical with the colorful flags emblazoned on the sides — I feel uplifted already. On my tent, we'd fly the flags of Cardboard Corner and Derelict Drive, to show solidarity with our homeless sistahs and bruddahs. Now I know not a lot of stuff will fit into this tiny tent, but besides the obvious necessities — hubby, fetus, soap — I'm bringing one other, very important accessory:
My ratty tatty blankie that I've had since I was born. You'd have to pry this little scrap of security from my cold, dead hands in order to make me part with it. Besides, in Hooverville, the well worn look is in.
If you had to live in a tent, what one special item would you bring? Think of it as Hobo Survivor.

Local fishing association seeks help to repair fish cages at Lake Almanor
M. Kate West
Chester Editor
"The fish cage program in Hamilton Branch has been in operation for the past 22 years with little to no maintenance," said Paul Garrido of Almanor Fishing Association.
Due to wind, water surges and winter snows, the platforms and cages have greatly deteriorated.
"In early April 2010, after the AFA made a presentation to the Sacramento-based California Inland Fisheries Foundation, Inc., their board of directors voted to assist with the much needed refurbishment program," Garrido said.
The AFA received a $15,000 donation from CIFFI.
"We also received a grant of $7,500 from Kokanee Power and the AFA cannot say too much how greatly we appreciate the funding provided by our partners," he added.
The AFA itself matched the Kokanee Power grant of $7,500 and began repairs on the five platforms belonging to the fish cage program.
Each of the five platforms holds two fish cages and provides a safe, growing environment for fingerling trout.
As the platform and refurbishment got underway, serious damage to the large beams holding the platforms together and the gates to the cages was discovered. That resulted in additional costs and delays. Only three platforms were completed and re-floated this year at Hamilton Branch.
The last two platforms will have to be delayed until next spring or when funding for the repairs is available.
When fully operational, the cages receive approximately 50,000 trout each fall from the Department of Fish and Game. AFA volunteers feed the fish daily throughout the winter until they are released in the spring.
"We have about 33 volunteers who work in two- or three-man groups to feed the fish daily. They do this come hell or high water," Garrido said.
More than one million Eagle Lake trout have been grown in these cages and planted in Lake Almanor since the program began.
"Eagle Lake trout do well here in Lake Almanor and they are fantastic for fishing. Most of the rainbows caught on the lake are Eagle lake trout," Garrido said.
They are identifiable because the dorsal fins are clipped as a marker. He said, "Experienced fishermen can also identify these fish by the difference in their color."
About the mission of the AFA, Garrido said, "If it concerns the fishery at Lake Almanor it concerns us. We work each year with the DFG to ensure we receive fish plants and that we receive a balance of species in the DFG donations."
"We use these funds to support the limnology program at Chester High School, the Chester Elementary School Plumas to the Pacific Outdoor Education Program and to provide scholarships to seniors graduating from both Chester and Westwood high schools," he said.
The annual AFA barbecue is the only fundraiser operated by the association members.
The Almanor Fishing Association was organized in 1988. It is a nonprofit with more than 360 members from Lake Almanor, the state of California and the U.S.
Any donations for fish cage refurbishment would be greatly appreciated. To assist with the repairs on the last two platforms and cages, make checks payable to Almanor Fishing Association, Attn: Fish Cages, P.O. Box 1938, Chester, CA 96020.
According to Garrido, the AFA and its partners plan to host a fishing derby in the near future.
The Almanor Fishing Association works collaboratively with DFG and its other partners: Kokanee Power and California Inland Fisheries Foundation, Inc.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (USA Today) - President Obama and congressional leaders discussed short-term plans Friday to avoid the tax hikes and budget cuts that kick in next week if the nation goes over the so-called "fiscal cliff."
White House officials declined to comment in detail before the meeting that began at 3:10 p.m., but noted that the president has offered to work on a short-term deal to beat the Dec. 31 deadline for the cliff.
Before leaving for vacation in Hawaii a week ago, Obama said he asked Republican and Democratic leaders to "work toward a package that prevents a tax hike on middle-class Americans, protects unemployment insurance for 2 million Americans and lays the groundwork for further work on both growth and deficit reduction. That's an achievable goal."
Obama returned to the White House on Thursday. On Friday afternoon, he met with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.; House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.; and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner also attended the meeting.
Even if the group agrees on a deal, it would still have to be approved by both the Republican House and Democratic Senate.
In recent weeks, the White House and Congress had hoped for a major deal to reduce the federal debt that now exceeds $16 trillion. They have discussed spending cuts, steps toward a tax overhaul and changes to entitlement programs and ways to address the debt ceiling.
With time growing short, however, the parties are now discussing a scaled-back agreement ahead of next week's deadline.
One of their likely topics on Friday: the fate of the George W. Bush tax cuts, which are due to expire at the end of the year, leading to a rise in income tax rates for all Americans.
Obama has proposed extending the Bush tax rates for most Americans, but ending them for those who make more than $250,000; he has also discussed increasing that threshold to $400,000 a year in talks with Republicans..
Many Republicans oppose any rise in income tax rates, though Boehner has offered to end the Bush tax cuts for those who make more than $1 million a year.
In the meantime, some officials are already talking about what happens after the country goes over the cliff on Tuesday, New Year's Day.
"It looks like that is where we're headed," Reid said on Thursday, if only because so little time is left before the end of the year.
Lawmakers are now starting to say that the next Congress -- the one that will be sworn in Jan. 3 -- will have to work on a debt reduction deal, including legislation to deal retroactively with the tax increases that take effect on Jan. 1.
One advantage of this approach: Senate and House members in the next Congress would be able to argue next year that they are voting to cut taxes; the tax hikes would already be in effect.
Reid blamed Boehner and the Republican-run House, saying they have refused to even vote on plans to reduce the debt with higher taxes on the wealthy as well as budget cuts.
Boehner said it's up to Reid and the Senate Democrats to act on measures passed by the House that emphasize reduced spending.
After the Friday meeting at the White House, some senior administration officials -- including Geithner and top adviser Valerie Jarrett -- will conduct a conference call with business leaders to discuss fiscal cliff issues; Obama himself will not be on the call.
Despite the partisan impasse, there is overwhelming agreement on Capitol Hill that Washington will at least extend the current tax rates for the majority of Americans. "It'll get resolved, and most Americans, almost all Americans, won't pay higher taxes next year," said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.
What remains uncertain is whether Congress will send legislation to the president before the Dec. 31 "fiscal cliff" deadline, or in the days or weeks after when the tax rates have expired. "That'll either be settled this weekend by our votes or it'll be settled after the first of the year," Alexander said.
Efforts to achieve a broad deficit reduction deal are all but gone, said Alexander and Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., who outlined their proposal Friday to deal with the next budgetary crisis facing Washington - a vote to raise the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling, the nation's borrowing authority.
"Unfortunately for America, the next line in the sand is going to be the debt ceiling," said Corker, who outlined a GOP proposal to raise the debt ceiling by $1 trillion in exchange for entitlement changes to Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid.
Corker said he believes the White House meeting is for "optics" and will not produce any significant bipartisan agreement. He said senators, during a series of votes Friday, were discussing on the floor how to bring up a bill to address the immediate fiscal issues of expiring tax rates and spending cuts.
Corker levied a harsh critique of the president and his congressional colleagues. "It's pretty apparent that we're not going to do what we've been called to do," he said, "I think that every American should be disgusted with all of Washington....And it's a shame that we are where we are, and candidly, that our economy is not going to be what it could have been the first quarter of this year if we had just done the work that we were supposed to do by this year end."

What is a vascular access?
A vascular access is a hemodialysis patient's lifeline. A vascular access makes life-saving hemodialysis treatments possible. Hemodialysis is a treatment for kidney failure that uses a machine to send the patient's blood through a filter, called a dialyzer, outside the body. The access is a surgically created vein used to remove and return blood during hemodialysis. The blood goes through a needle, a few ounces at a time. The blood then travels through a tube that takes it to the dialyzer. Inside the dialyzer, the blood flows through thin fibers that filter out wastes and extra fluid. The machine returns the filtered blood to the body through a different tube. A vascular access lets large amounts of blood flow continuously during hemodialysis treatments to filter as much blood as possible per treatment. About a pint of blood flows through the machine every minute. A vascular access should be in place weeks or months before the first hemodialysis treatment.
Two types of vascular access designed for long-term use include the arteriovenous (AV) fistula and the AV graft. A third type of vascular access—the venous catheter—is for short-term use.
What is an arteriovenous fistula?
An AV fistula is a connection, made by a vascular surgeon, of an artery to a vein. Arteries carry blood from the heart to the body, while veins carry blood from the body back to the heart. Vascular surgeons specialize in blood vessel surgery. The surgeon usually places an AV fistula in the forearm or upper arm. An AV fistula causes extra pressure and extra blood to flow into the vein, making it grow large and strong. The larger vein provides easy, reliable access to blood vessels. Without this kind of access, regular hemodialysis sessions would not be possible. Untreated veins cannot withstand repeated needle insertions. They would collapse the way a straw collapses under strong suction.
Health care providers recommend an AV fistula over the other types of access because it
- provides good blood flow for dialysis
- lasts longer than other types of access
- is less likely to get infected or cause blood clots than other types of access
Before AV fistula surgery, the surgeon may perform a vessel mapping test. Vessel mapping uses Doppler ultrasound to evaluate blood vessels that the surgeon may use to make the AV fistula. Ultrasound uses a device, called a transducer, that bounces safe, painless sound waves off organs to create an image of their structure. A specially trained technician performs the procedure in a health care provider's office, an outpatient center, or a hospital. A radiologist—a doctor who specializes in medical imaging—interprets the images. A patient does not need anesthesia. A Doppler ultrasound shows how much and how quickly blood flows through arteries and veins so the surgeon can select the best blood vessels to use.
A surgeon performs AV fistula surgery in an outpatient center or a hospital. The vascular access procedure may require an overnight stay in the hospital; however, many patients go home afterward. A health care provider uses local anesthesia to numb the area where the surgeon creates the AV fistula.
An AV fistula frequently requires 2 to 3 months to develop, or mature, before the patient can use it for hemodialysis. If an AV fistula fails to mature after surgery, a surgeon must repeat the procedure.
At the start of a hemodialysis session, a health care provider or the patient inserts two needles into the vascular access. One needle carries blood from the body to the dialyzer. The other carries filtered blood back to the body. To tell the needles apart, the needle that carries blood away from the body is called the arterial needle. The needle that carries blood back to the body is called the venous needle. Some patients prefer to insert their own needles into the vascular access, which requires training to learn how to prevent infection and protect the vascular access. No matter who inserts the needles, the patient should know how to take care of the needle insertion area to prevent infection.
If an AV fistula does not mature, an AV graft is the second choice for a long-lasting vascular access.
What is an arteriovenous graft?
An AV graft is a looped, plastic tube that connects an artery to a vein. A vascular surgeon performs AV graft surgery, much like AV fistula surgery, in an outpatient center or a hospital. As with AV fistula surgery, the patient may need to stay overnight in the hospital, although many patients can go home after the procedure. A health care provider uses local anesthesia to numb the area where the surgeon creates the AV graft.
A patient can usually use an AV graft 2 to 3 weeks after the surgery. An AV graft is more likely than an AV fistula to have problems with infection and clotting. Repeated blood clots can block the flow of blood through the graft. However, a well-cared-for graft can last several years.
Set Up the Vascular Access Well before Starting Hemodialysis
Patients should set up a vascular access well before starting hemodialysis, as AV fistulas and AV grafts both need time to mature before they are ready for use. A health care provider can help schedule an appointment with a vascular surgeon well before the patient starts hemodialysis, even if the patient is feeling fine. Giving a vascular access time to mature can help prevent problems with narrow veins, low blood flow, and blood clots.
Before the procedure, health care providers should use the back of the patient's hand for drawing blood to preserve the blood vessels in the arm. A health care provider can teach the patient simple exercises that help the blood vessels grow larger for the surgeon's use. The same exercises help the AV fistula grow larger after the procedure.
What is a venous catheter?
A venous catheter is a tube inserted into a vein in the neck, chest, or leg near the groin, usually only for short-term hemodialysis. The tube splits in two after the tube exits the body. The two tubes have caps designed to connect to the line that carries blood to the dialyzer and the line that carries blood from the dialyzer back to the body. A person must close the clamps on each line when connecting and disconnecting the catheter from the tubes.
If kidney disease has progressed quickly, a patient may not have time for placement of an AV fistula or AV graft before starting hemodialysis treatments.
A nephrologist—a doctor who specializes in kidney problems—or an interventional radiologist—a doctor who uses medical imaging equipment to perform operations—performs the venous catheter placement procedure in a hospital or an outpatient center. The patient receives local anesthesia and sedation to stay calm and relaxed during the procedure.
Venous catheters are not ideal for long-term use. With a venous catheter, a patient may develop a blood clot, an infection, or a scarred vein, causing the vein to narrow. However, if a patient needs to start hemodialysis right away, a venous catheter will work for several weeks or months until a surgeon can perform a long-term access surgery and the AV fistula or AV graft has time to mature.
If fistula or graft surgery is unsuccessful, then a patient will need a long-term venous catheter access. When a patient needs a venous catheter for more than 3 weeks, the surgeon will "tunnel" the catheter under the skin, rather than insert it directly into the vein. A tunneled catheter is more comfortable and has fewer problems. Even tunneled catheters, however, may become infected.
What problems could a vascular access cause?
All three types of vascular access—AV fistula, AV graft, and venous catheter—can cause problems that require further treatment or surgery. The most common problems include access infection and low blood flow due to blood clotting in the access.
Infection and low blood flow happen less frequently in properly formed AV fistulas than in AV grafts and venous catheters. Still, having an AV fistula does not guarantee the access will be problem-free.
AV grafts more often develop low blood flow, an indication of clotting or narrowing of the access. The AV graft may then require angioplasty, a procedure to widen the narrow part. Another option involves surgery on the AV graft to replace the narrow part.
Venous catheters are the most likely to cause infection and clotting problems. If these problems develop, medication may help. Antibiotics are medications that fight bacteria that can cause infection. Blood thinners such as warfarin keep blood from clotting. If these treatments fail, a nephrologist or an interventional radiologist will need to replace the catheter.
How does a patient care for and protect a vascular access?
A patient can care for and protect a vascular access by
- ensuring that the health care provider checks the access for signs of infection or problems with blood flow before each hemodialysis treatment, even if the patient is inserting the needles.
- keeping the access clean at all times.
- using the access site only for dialysis.
- being careful not to bump or cut the access.
- checking the thrill in the access every day. The thrill is the rhythmic vibration a person can feel over the vascular access.
- watching for and reporting signs of infection, including redness, tenderness, or pus.
- not letting anyone put a blood pressure cuff on the access arm.
- not wearing jewelry or tight clothes over the access site.
- not sleeping with the access arm under the head or body.
- not lifting heavy objects or putting pressure on the access arm.
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition
Researchers have not found that eating, diet, and nutrition play a role in causing or preventing problems with a vascular access.

Hope through Research
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) has many research programs aimed at improving the treatment of kidney failure. One research program aimed at better understanding fistula maturation is the Hemodialysis Fistula Maturation Study. This multicenter study enrolled approximately 600 study participants with newly placed fistulas to study the influence of vascular anatomy, vascular biology, patient factors, and process of care on the fistulas' usefulness for maintenance hemodialysis. The results of this study will become available in 2015.
Clinical trials are research studies involving people. Clinical trials look at safe and effective new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. Researchers also use clinical trials to look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses.
