2) Routable topo maps: Does this mean that BC or Montana will use trails when routing? Having never used topo maps before this may be a really stupid question so forgive me. I've looked at the OSM topo map and there doesn't appear to be any additional "roads" so I'm not sure what "routable" means here.
Initially the Montana seems way over my head but I'll keep plugging along. Thanks to all who have helped out in this thread!
I am the current Dropbox owner, having been asked by DRTBYK to watch over it while he's away. I can invite you if you PM me your email address.
Don't expect a Shortcut repository though. They are easy to create so the sooner you try, the sooner you'll have a set built to suit your own gps. There are many variables with Shortcuts which, to me anyway, mean that they are unique to the gps they are created on. I describe the process of creating Shortcuts in the Wisdom and FAQ thread listed in my sig.
You're right, the Montana can seem complicated, but just use it, and you'll see it doesn't take too much time to figure out the basics.

Wigan Warriors Rugby League Club announces a ground-breaking new Partnership to support the development of Rugby League throughout the Principality with a particular focus on improving significantly the standard of Wales Rugby League prior to the 2013 World Cup, which is jointly hosted by England and Wales.
The Partnership is between Wigan and the Governing Body of Wales Rugby League with a separate Partnership agreed between Wigan and South Wales Scorpions who compete in Championship 1. Other Welsh Championship 1 clubs may take advantage of these partnership agreements if they wish in order to develop Welsh players.
In addition to the landmark announcement which was held in the Welsh Assembly in Cardiff on Thursday, the Wigan Club also announces the signing of three of Wales' most promising young players. 18 year old Centre Rhodri Lloyd, Prop Forward Gil Dudson and Back Row Forward Ben Flower, all born and raised in South Wales will join up again with Wales National Coach, Iestyn Harris, at the DW Stadium in 2012.
Wigan Warriors staff will support the game directly in South Wales with Cardiff-born Dave Clark - the former Wigan Player Development Coach and 2009 Championship Coach of the Year during his time at Barrow - permanently based there for Wigan where he will combine the role with his new position as Head Coach of South Wales Scorpions.
Chairman Ian Lenagan and Rugby General Manager Kris Radlinski, plus staff from the Club's highly acclaimed Youth Development Programme, Sports Science Department and Marketing Team will spend time advising and working with all facets of the game to improve profile, coaching standards, scouting infrastructure and pathway development for talented young Welsh Rugby League players.
Former Warriors player Andy Coley, who retired at the end of 2011, will also take up a new role with the Club to oversee the partnership in Wales. The position will be combined with a welfare role supporting Wigan players and a role in the Club's new Central Park Work & Sporting Excellence Academy.
The Wigan Club will also be working to create two new Work and Sport Academies in Wales based upon the Work Academy opened in Wigan last week with great acclaim. These offer vocational training opportunities to young people not in education, employment or training (NEETS) in Sport and Active Leisure, and in Construction, Hospitality and Catering, Hair and Beauty and Land Skills with a particular focus on both codes of Rugby. These Academies will take advantage of the cutting-edge technology which is provided by InnovEd, Wigan Warriors' Software Company, Virtual Learning and e-Learning Provider.
Wales Rugby League will also have access to Wigan's World Class training facilities in the North West of England.
Speaking about the partnership Wigan Chairman Ian Lenagan said:
"We are proud of the fact that we at Wigan have generated more home-grown players for the Home Nations National Teams than any other club and are committed to raising the standard of competitiveness generally in the Northern Hemisphere for Wales and consequently for England.
"We want to help grow the sport of Rugby League in Wales and ultimately to help them become more competitive on the International Stage in time for the World Cup by offering advice and support and applying our expertise to the development of young rugby players in Wales.
"The pathways are clear. Our scouting network will help identify talent and feed this into the Wales RL Academy and South Wales Scorpions and then into representative teams with a preferred route into the Wigan Club at Super League level for exceptional players or back into the semi-professional structures at South Wales Scorpions or North Wales Crusaders."
Chairperson of Wales Rugby League, Janet Ryder said:
"I think it's a momentous opportunity for Wales Rugby League to be in a partnership with the best known team in World Rugby League. It gives everyone involved in Rugby League in Wales the opportunity to learn and prosper from the best and we in Wales Rugby League can't wait to get started".
Scorpions Chairman Phil Davies added:
"We're really delighted to have linked up with Wigan Warriors, probably the most famous Rugby League club in the world, and an organisation with one of the best reputations for developing young players.
"With this link, we will be able to mutually assist each other in regards to player and team development which will be very beneficial to both parties - money can't buy the assistance we will be getting from Wigan, especially in regards to dual registration.
"I would like to give a big thanks to Ian Lenagan and the team up at Wigan Warriors for all of their help and hard work that has gone in to putting this package together.
"Wigan have a long history of fielding Welsh players from Jim Sullivan to Billy Boston to Scott Quinnell, just three of the many who have graced the famous Cherry and White shirt. We hope that with this link-up we'll see many more young Welsh stars play for Wigan which will be of massive benefit for the Welsh National side.
"We're delighted that Dave Clark, who has been a Community and Development Coach at Wigan recently, has accepted the job as our new Head Coach at South Wales Scorpions. Dave was born in Cardiff and is returning to his South Wales roots and really wants the game to flourish in this area. He has a wealth of Head Coaching experience at Barrow and we believe that he is the right choice to lead the Scorpions going forward."
The partnership commences with immediate effect and is fully endorsed by the Rugby Football League and Rugby League International Federation
Following last night's Super League clash, Wigan and Warrington are set to go head-to-head again tonight at Haydock Park racecourse.

Out go the kimonos, and in comes haute couture. Out goes the orchestra, and in comes the electric guitar. Out goes 1885, and in comes 2011.
Mississippi State University Theatre will present a modernized production of Gilbert and SullivanŌĆÖs ŌĆ£The MikadoŌĆØ at McComas Hall March 31-April 2 at 7:30 p.m.
Director and MSU instructor Jo Durst said modernization was a natural fit for ŌĆ£The Mikado.ŌĆØ These changes have the potential to attract not only young audiences, but all audiences, she said.
ŌĆ£When I read it, it just felt like it should be modernized,ŌĆØ Durst said. ŌĆ£It has contemporary rhythms to it, so we have set it in whatŌĆÖs called the Harajuku youth culture of Japan, and weŌĆÖve added the local rock band, The Mooring Line.ŌĆØ
Durst said the inspiration for the musical arrangement in particular did not actually come from Japan, but from China.
ŌĆ£When I went to Shanghai with my daughter this summer, we went to the acrobatsŌĆÖ circus, which is sort of like their Cirque Du Soleil,ŌĆØ Durst said. ŌĆ£They had a specific style of music, which is modern but has the traditional sound of chinese music within.ŌĆØ
As for the costumes, the area of Tokyo called Harajuku has become internationally known as JapanŌĆÖs fashion mecca, where young people dress in attire ranging from hot new trends to outlandish costumes resembling cartoon characters and pop stars. Stateside, It inspired Gwen StefaniŌĆÖs ŌĆ£Harajuku LoversŌĆØ line of fragrances and accessories, and Durst said American audiences should recognize at least one fashion trend worn by the main character, Yum-Yum.
ŌĆ£Yum-Yum is our ŌĆśHello Kitty,ŌĆÖŌĆØ Durst said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a take off on the ŌĆśHello KittyŌĆÖ look. From there, the costumes are all the modern-day Japan Harajuku look which is just... theatrical.ŌĆØ
In the opera, the titular Mikado, or emperor of Japan, makes flirtation a crime punishable by death, but finds this law frustrated when the village executioner Ko-Ko is found guilty of the crime. Meanwhile, the MikadoŌĆÖs son, Nanki-Poo, falls in love with Yum-Yum only to find she is already betrothed to Ko-Ko.
Yum-Yum has two sisters, Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo, and Danielle Grimes, who plays Pitti-Sing, said the three were as different as ŌĆ£The Powerpuff Girls.ŌĆØ She also said the costumes reflect those differences, with her own costume pulling from the ŌĆ£gothic lolitaŌĆØ subculture of Japanese fashion.
ŌĆ£You have the pretty pink one, the silly blue one, and mine is the gothic, emo, green one,ŌĆØ Grimes said. ŌĆ£She is more of a protector of Yum-Yum, the main character. She is very uncaring, until one of her friends is threatened. At some points, sheŌĆÖs a hopeless romantic.ŌĆØ
Grimes said she was excited about this adaptation of ŌĆ£The Mikado,ŌĆØ especially from a visual standpoint.
ŌĆ£I think itŌĆÖs going to be visually stunning,ŌĆØ Grimes said. ŌĆ£I think the audience is going to appreciate the modern adaptation, and the rock music. The set and the costumes are just fantastic.ŌĆØ
The lead costumer for ŌĆ£The MikadoŌĆØ is MSU instructor Melanie Harris, but she said costuming for this production was actually a team effort. She also said the other costumers were big fans of Japanese fashion, music, and anime, and many of them came in knowing more about Harajuku than Harris did.
ŌĆ£I sort of had to play catch up with what they knew,ŌĆØ Harris said. ŌĆ£They were jumping up and down and screaming, saying, ŌĆśWeŌĆÖve got to do this!ŌĆÖ or, ŌĆśWeŌĆÖve got to do this thing!ŌĆÖ We started looking at all the different types and subtypes, and we sort of matched up which type went with which character. ItŌĆÖs amazingly complex once you get into it.ŌĆØ
Harris also said the music for the show went beyond the two members of The Mooring Line, incorporating two MSU professors and a guest drummer. This band was specifically created for ŌĆ£The MikadoŌĆØ at MSU, she said.
Harris also said a key reason Harajuku fashion and modern music fit well with ŌĆ£The MikadoŌĆØ is that both are bouncy, free-spirited and fun.
ŌĆ£This is not at all a serious play,ŌĆØ Harris said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs lighthearted, and thatŌĆÖs the spirit of the Harajuku fashion. ItŌĆÖs fun for students to pretend and live out that type of lifestyle.ŌĆØ
Durst said she hoped the play would simultaneously create new fans of Gilbert and Sullivan and impress older ones.
ŌĆ£I would like to reach those who love traditional Gilbert and Sullivan, because the songs are still the same,ŌĆØ Durst said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖd also like to intrdouce Gilbert and Sullivan to a younger generation and let them know opera is fun to listen to and to watch.ŌĆØ
Both Harris and Durst said they wanted to come up with a way for this production of ŌĆ£The MikadoŌĆØ to benefit those suffering from the impact of the Sendai earthquake and tsunami. However, because MSUŌĆÖs spring break began just after the day of the disaster, discussion on that front has only just begun, and Durst said no firm details were yet available.

With nearly 5,000 game development jobs, tax credits for software production, and publishers like EA and Ubisoft finding success in the city, Montreal may be the coldest hotbed of game development in the industry today. Yesterday it was announced the city would be receiving another studio from a frontline publisher, as Eidos and the economic development agency Investissement Quebec laid out plans to establish a new studio in Montreal.
The studio will develop four games for the newest generation of systems and be accompanied by a new testing unit. Eidos expects to hire 110 people in Montreal by the end of the year, with the operation reaching 350 people within three years. Eidos attributed the pool of experienced talent in the area and tax incentives on game development as a pair of the factors that convinced it to establish operations in the city.

Networking Storage to Storage
Posted in Storage Solutions, Virtualization on Apr 23, 2007 1 Comment »
Fibre Channel, Storage Area Networks were introduced in the late 1990's to eliminate the islands of direct attached storage. It promised to consolidate storage and centralize management of storage and data resources. The assumption was that this consolidation and centralization would lead to better utilization of storage capacity which was then about 20 to 30%. [...]

White River / moderate / snowshoe
Hikers aiming to fill their camera frames with Mount Hood summit shots won't do better than the White River Trail: the entire path wanders under the watchful eye of the volcano's massive cinder cone. Perched on Hood's southern flank, White River is often soaked in sun. Atop Boy Scout Ridge, at some 5,000 feet, the peak's yawning crevasses, towering seracs, and blue-green glacial ice appear close enough to touch.
Round trip: 5 miles. Distance from downtown: 63 miles. Map: Mt Hood Ski and Snowshoe Trails —Christopher Van Tilburg
Devil's Half Acre / moderate / cross-country skiing
Seek out this hidden gem when Trillium Lake's trails are jammed with skiers. The path was first blazed in 1845 by legendary Cascade mountain man Samuel Barlow, who hoped to spare Oregon Trail travelers a sketchy barge ride down the swift-moving Columbia River. After a quick descent, the pioneer-era road traverses a corridor of tall pines that gives way to an expansive meadow at the base of a softly sloping knoll. Use this backcountry bunny hill to practice telemark turns, or as a secluded listening post for the rat-a-tat-tats of wintering pileated woodpeckers.
Round trip: 3 miles. Distance from downtown: 59 miles. Map: Green Trails No. 462 —CVT
Glade Trail / difficult / cross-country skiing
The historic Glade Trail links the alpine hamlet of Government Camp to the mighty Timberline Lodge. Following the path of a bygone tramway line (from which a Portland city bus was suspended during the 1950s), the wide swath rises 2,000 feet over 3.5 miles. Meander past dense groves of Douglas fir and western red cedar before you emerge near Timberline's Blossom Chairlift. Warm your bones at the lodge's Ram's Head Bar and mark your calendar for the annual "Ski the Glade" event in March, when the trail is groomed for a day of retro-themed skiing. (Check mthoodmuseum.org for the date.)

Government Camp's rolling Crosstown Trail fits the bill for novice outdoorsmen and families in need of a short, no-hassle day trip. True, you won't wander far from civilization, but stands of giant salal, hibernating rhododendron bushes, and subalpine pines filter the highway noise well enough to maintain the Narnia-in-winter vibe. And should your budding snowshoer tire of the fairy tale in favor of hot cider, a multitude of side trails leading back to town will let you bail out pronto.
Round trip: 3 miles. Distance from downtown: 55 miles. Map: Green Trails No. 461 —CVT

There's more than one way to move a VM into VMware vCHS
When you decide to extend your virtual infrastructure to VMware vCHS, there's another way to do it besides uploading VMs over the Internet.
How do you move virtual machines into VMware vCloud Hybrid Service (vCHS)? What if you have extremely large --...

or sensitive -- VMs you would rather not transfer over the Internet?
"Technically, all you would need to do a migration from vSphere on-premise to vCHS is a [vCloud Connector] server and a single vCC node connected to your vSphere. We … have to do a little bit of configuration to bring the other node in, but it's easy," said Chris Colotti, senior product line technical marketing manager at VMware.
Colotti discussed VMware vCHS use cases, migration options and other features of VMware's Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering at the VTUG Winter Warmer event in January 2014. VMware has positioned vCHS to compete with public cloud offerings from Amazon, Microsoft and Google, and offers such features as Direct Connect -- which connects a data center to vCHS via a private dedicated network -- and Disaster Recovery as a Service, or DRaaS, through vCHS.
For transferring sensitive VMs to vCHS, VMware offers another choice -- one that might seem old-fashioned.
"Harley Davidson Dealer Services … wanted to move a bunch of virtual machines to vCHS but [the VMs] were large. They were huge," said Colotti.
"VCloud Connector does it over the Internet with a stream over public wire [but Harley Davidson asked if they could] use this offline data transfer. … We will ship you a [network-attached-storage] appliance, you attach it to your vCC node, you offload all of your virtual machines with an encryption key, you encrypt all the data and then you ship it back to our operations team and provide the decryption keys and we'll import all those VMs," said Colotti.
"This process does have to happen powered off, so there is no automatic synchronization when those VMs come back online, so we have to think about how that's going to happen," said Colotti. "If it's a database, we can sync the data."

Column: Piazza book is a bizarre page turner
There's always a danger when a former athlete sets himself down, pen in hand, and bares his soul.
Some get it right in tomes that can be revealing, even therapeutic. My personal favorite is Andre Agassi's admission in his autobiography that he dabbled in methamphetamine, hated the sport that made him a star, and was depressed during his short-lived marriage to Brooke Shields.
And the iconic hair that cascaded out from his sweat band in a mullet that wouldn't quit? A wig, sorry to say.
Other books aren't quite as forthcoming. Marion Jones told us all about winning five golds in Sydney, but neglected to add the part about being juiced while she ran past everyone.
Lance Armstrong had similar issues. He wrote two books, both inspiring tales of how he defied all odds to overcome cancer and become the best bicycle rider ever.
They were best sellers, even though they were filled with lies. Unfortunately for Armstrong, the same readers who bought his story are now suing him in federal court for fraud and false advertising.
And then there's Mike Piazza. He, too, denies he was a cheat and until there is hard evidence to indicate otherwise, I guess we have to accept at face value that his 427 career home runs were legitimate.
Some Hall of Fame voters apparently don't, which is a big reason why Piazza didn't make it on his first turn on the ballot. The rejection surely stung since Piazza makes it clear in his book "Long Shot" that getting in the Hall would be the ultimate vindication of his life and career.
Piazza says he never used steroids. But he does admit to using just about everything else, including androstenedione, amphetamines, Creatine, ephedra and a type of asthma medicine that made him more alert and focused.
It's all there in a bizarre book that does nothing to make Piazza even remotely interesting or likable. If anything, he looks like a fool in spots - training with a karate instructor in case of a fight with Roger Clemens.
Mostly, though, Piazza comes off as petty, vindictive and unbelievably thin-skinned. The overriding theme is that even though he was a child of privilege and Tommy Lasorda (a friend of his dad's) looked out for his career, it was pure hard work and determination that got him to the top.
And it all somehow happened despite everyone from his first minor league manager to Vin Scully being against him.
Fair enough, a guy's entitled to his own opinion. But when he tries to blame Scully for turning the fans of Los Angeles against him, the book went from simply self-serving into a paranoid kind of fantasyland inhabited only by ex-stars.
At issue was a 1998 spring training interview where the venerable Dodgers broadcaster asked Piazza about giving the team a deadline for signing him to a long-term contract. It was all quite innocuous, with Scully actually offering Piazza a chance to look good and the catcher responding with typical jock generalities.

Reggie Bush posts Father's Day photo with newborn Briseis
Father's Day didn't just bring the first photo of Channing Tatum, his wife Jenna Dewan and their baby Everly. Another guy chose to use the special day to post the first picture of his new baby girl as well.
Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush added the first photo of his daughter Briseis to Instagram. He tagged the photo, "Enjoying my first Father's Day with my family! #blessed" The photo shows both dad and daughter smiling wide and dressed to impress on their first Father's Day together. Briseis was born May 6 to Bush's fiancee, Lilit Avagyan.
One dad who hasn't posted a photo with his new baby is Kanye West. The rapper's girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, gave birth to their first baby, a daughter, Saturday (June 15).

Armstrong, who competed in discus, shot put and high jump in high school, has added several new events to his resume since joining the Blue Raiders track team. Last year he competed in javelin as well as the events he competed in during his high school years. This year Armstrong took a big step when became a decathlete.
The Kentucky Storm football team traveled to Nashville Saturday to take on the league leading Tennessee Rampage and came out victorious in a defensive battle.
It took overtime but the Storm managed to pull out a 12-6 victory.
After the Rampage failed to move the ball on their first possession of overtime, the Storm moved the ball downfield with the aid of two big third down receptions by Timmy Gay.
The winning touchdown came on a 22-yard pass from Vernon Armstrong to Jeff Jones.

Today was a special day at Gilda's Club-- the annual Remembrance Ceremony, where those who have lost loved ones to cancer in the past year come together to remember, honor and share the lives lost. It was a most special time, with amazingly touching music by Resounding Harmony, stories and memories shared by family and friends, and words of comfort from my dear friend and Pastor, Kerry Sumpter Smith. At the end of Kerry's message, she said, "The memories of those we have lost live on when we tell their stories!" That is why I am sitting here tonight.
As friends and family members shared memories at today's ceremony, I had not planned to speak. Then it hit me that it was early this year that my Denton Creek Elementary Faculty family endured such a big loss with the passing of our dear friend and fellow teacher, Cherryl Sigwing. While I cannot begin to share all of Cherryl's story, I must share my small part. So I stood and shared a few of my memories of Cherryl.
Before I actually met Cherryl, I learned a lot about what would be the basis of my knowledge about her just by walking by her empty classroom. My fourth year in the Coppell ISD found me moving to a different elementary in the district, Pinkerton Elementary. My new classroom was at the end of a VERY long hallway, and the first time walking to my new room I passed the First Grade classrooms. I glanced into all the classrooms, stopping to gaze into Cherryl's ultra-organized room, then I peered into the room across the hallway.
Whoa. Wait a minute. The room across the hallway, that of Jenny Woods, was as close to a mirror image of Cherryl's classroom as you could possibly get. My first thought: these two teachers must REALLY get along! I had no idea how much!
I learned early on that Jenny and Cherryl were a pair of ladies who had their game, teaching First Graders, down to an exact science, and I do mean exact! The names alone, Jenny and Cherryl, one was rarely mentioned with out the other. I must say, I was rather intimidated by them for a few years, always feeling that they were surely thinking what in the world is that guy down there doing in Kindergarten? They were "old school," I was this renegade-esque guy down the hall doing all this new-fangled stuff they would end up having to correct with the next crop of First Graders I would be sending their way!
As the school year progressed, Jenny and Cherryl's classrooms would carefully and systematically evolve, yet still the mirror image of one another. As I would pass their classrooms, I would sometimes think, "Oh, I wish they would do this or that...," but it wasn't too long before this Kindergarten teacher realized he just might have been a bit too big for his britches. Walking by Jenny Woods and Cherryl Sigwing's classrooms provided much learning for this teacher, as much as their students. I do believe that a valuable lesson I learned from watching these two Master teachers, is "If it isn't broke, don't fix it!" Yes, they had their craft down to a science, and their craft worked. For years they honed and tweaked, polished and perfected the art of teaching First Grade. That I were as strong a Kindergarten teacher as Jenny and Cherryl were in First Grade, would be my job well done.
The team- Jenny and Cherryl as teachers- was not the greatest gift they had to share with the faculties at Pinkerton and later at Denton Creek Elementaries. The gift they shared in such a constant and shining way was that of friendship. You didn't have to be around them long to know that they had been friends for a long, long time. Privileged to share lunch with them in the teacher's lounge for years, it was so heartwarming to always watch them have lunch together. Daily they would share an Arizona iced tea, Cherryl usually splitting it between the two. Dividing an apple or warming soup, then sharing with the other, it was always done without what seemed to be conscious action. It was just what they did. Apparently, lunch was only for starters.
It was only over these lunch periods that I learned that Cherryl and Jenny's families traveled together, attended each others children's activities, and were as involved with the others family as she was her own. Cherryl and Jenny were more like sisters than friends. Jenny has told me that this was so very true. I dare say they could finish each others sentences, and probably knew the other as well as she knew herself. What a gift their friendship seemed to be to each other!
It was only a couple years after their retirement that Cherryl was diagnosed with cancer of the liver. When I heard of Cherryl's diagnosis, my very first thought was of Jenny. My heart certainly went out to Cherryl's husband Rick and daughter Lauren, but my heart truly broke for Jenny. In our lives we are lucky to have a few good friends, some of course growing closer than others over time. To have a friendship through the years as close as that between Jenny and Cherryl, truly is a gift of a lifetime. Whenever our close faculty group will get together for lunch, it still seems like Cherryl should be right there, splitting that Arizona iced tea with Jenny.
There is so much more to Cherryl's story than I can begin to share here. What a precious soul she was! The gift she gave to hundreds of First Graders, their families, her fellow teachers, family, friends, and especially to her dear friend, Jenny Woods, is immeasurable beyond words. How blessed I was to teach down the hall from her and gain from her wisdom in teaching young children!
"The memories of those lost live on when we tell their stories!" Why don't you share with someone today the life of someone whose memories you hold? We all will be the richer for the telling!
This remembrance is in memory of Cherryl Sigwing and in honor of Jenny Woods. May the knowledge I have gained from each of them continue to make me a better teacher.
L-R: Cherryl Sigwing, me and Jenny Woods at my going away reception at Denton Creek Elementary, 2005.

Arena Profile: Brendan Daly
Brendan Daly brings a broad range of skills in public affairs to Ogilvy Washington. He has been one of the nation's top political communicators for the past nine years, having developed the communications strategies for the country's key legislative initiatives – from health care to Wall Street reform – and virtually every other major issue that has moved through Congress.
Daly is Ogilvy Washington's executive vice president and National Director for Corporate and Public Affairs, where he leads the agency's D.C.-based Public Affairs unit, working with clients to help them manage their reputations inside the Beltway and beyond. He has advised with clients on issues ranging from health care to energy to trade to telecommunications.
Daly served as communications director for Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi for nine years, from January 2002 through 2010, including serving as her chief spokesman for the four years that she was Speaker. He was with Pelosi through her rise from House Minority Whip to House Minority Leader and then to Speaker. He worked closely with House Democratic leaders to create a unified communications platform that influenced Democratic victories in 2006 and 2008.
Prior to his work with Pelosi, Daly was the communications director and chief spokesman for the Brady Campaign, an organization that advocates for an America free of gun violence. He also held top communications positions for the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Peace Corps, and the late Congressman Gerry Studds. Brendan spent the first nine years of his career as a newspaper journalist.
Daly regularly appears on television as a Democratic strategist. He holds a bachelor's degree in political science from Duke University, where he graduated cum laude in 1984. He has received a "Flack of the Year" award and was regularly listed among the "Fabulous Fifty" top Capitol Hill staffers by Roll Call newspaper.

Brendan Daly's Recent Discussions
Does SCOTUS ruling seal Obama's victory?
Today is a huge victory for the American people, for President Obama, and for my former boss, Nancy Pelosi. Now millions more Americans will be able to have access to health insurance that they otherwise would not have had.
Already, young adults can stay on their parents' plans until age 26, children can no longer be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions, and seniors are paying less for prescription drugs.
As Vice President Biden said, this is a very big deal, and the fact that Chief Justice Roberts sided with the majority makes it even more so.
This will be front and center in the election - and now Democrats can be more confident in citing the benefits of the law. The Court has upheld it and it will be very difficult for the Republicans to successfully repeal it.See more
Is Jeb Bush right about the GOP?
Jeb Bush is right. Even Ronald Reagan couldn't have made it through today's GOP nominating process. That's why Mitt Romney had to tack so hard to the right to become the Republican nominee.See more
Norm Ornstein and Tom Mann described it very well - the Republican party has no room for anyone who doesn't follow extreme conservative ideology. See former Sen. Arlen Specter and former Gov. Charlie Crist for just two of many examples.
We need more Republicans like Jeb Bush to speak up and take back the grand traditions of the Grand Old Party.
Media in the tank for Obama?
Give me a break. This is the same whining we hear every election cycle from Republicans. In 2008, the media wrote about Obama and Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, etc. ad nauseum. Now it's Romney's turn to be vetted.See more
Let's have a vigorous debate on who has a better plan to grow our economy, not on a manufactured complaint by Republicans, whose own access to right-wing media is substantial. There are plenty of real issues to cover - including the president's record on jobs, spending, foreign policy, and national security. This is not one of them.
Is Joe Biden a public relations nightmare?
Republicans are wasting their time attacking Vice President Biden, but they do it because they know he is effective. Unlike Mitt Romney, he knows how to connect with middle-class Americans. He is a great surrogate for the president, bringing passion and energy to the campaign trail.See more

'vox-tech mailing list'

BTW, when logging into a Unix- or Linux-box remotely (eg, telnet, SSH or
plain text modem dialup / NULL modem to a dumb terminal), you can do
something similar to this whole virtual console thing by running a very
nifty application called "screen".
It lets you open multiple shell log-ins, swap around between them,
cut and paste between them... I think even show multiple logins at
a time on one terminal.
One of the best things about it is you can 'detach' from screen, log out
of the Unix box, go somewhere else, log back into the Unix box, and
then _re_-attach to screen, and all of your sessions are happily sitting
there waiting for more input.
It's kind of like being at the office and having a conference call with
a bunch of people, then putting them on hold, driving home, and then
hooking BACK up to the same conference call from your phone at home. :)
(Odd analogy, but I think it's accurate ;) )
(BTW - Anyone know if there's a way to do something like this with X? :) )

My Stats
|Contributor Since:
|August 2010
About Me
I have been Beijing bureau chief for Forbes since 2007, writing about rigged markets, corrupt journalists, brave lawyers, coal mine bosses, the Google kerfuffle, Internet companies that make ungodly sums of money, Internet companies that lose ungodly sums of money, and awful books on doing business in China. I have impersonated, among others, a Chinese propagandist, a traveling White House reporter and a China expert. I seek to inform and mock others on Twitter [@gadyepstein], in print and anywhere that provides a working microphone and a gullible audience. Previously, I was the last Beijing correspondent for the once-proud Baltimore Sun, where I also covered 9/11, the 2004 Asian tsunami and the intrigues of North Korea. For a series on globalization in 2006, I won a Gerald Loeb Award for business journalism. In 2006-7, I studied for my as-yet-undiscovered career in screenwriting on the Knight-Wallace Fellowship at the University of Michigan. I grew up in Palo Alto, Calif., and graduated in 1994 from Harvard.
I'm Known For...
My two-second appearance on The Wire.
My Current Project
A good bet is that it has something to do with doing business in China.
I Truly Respect
Journalists in authoritarian nations who risk their livelihoods to report the truth. They struggle daily for what many of us take for granted.
Blocks I've Been Around
A small town where the mailman and the pawnbroker intrigued for power. City halls and state houses with a few larger-than-life political figures and many who were smaller than life. Thirty-five or so countries, and, over the last decade, many destinations within China, where I've encountered the compelling tales of some of China's richest and poorest citizens.
Why Forbes
We have the most creative, distinctive, irreverent voices in business journalism.
My Other Website
What I'm Currently Addicted To...
I'll never admit I have a Twitter problem.
This Is Annoying Me...
My failure, thus far, to achieve global domination.
This Is Making Me Worry...
What happens if someone else achieves global domination first? China, for example. Will I have to work in their salt mines?
I'm Running From...
Kim Jong-il. No explanation necessary.
This Is Making Me Think - Hard...
Is it a tautology to say that the question "This Is Making Me Think - Hard..." is, in fact, making me think - hard? Hold on, I need to go double-check the meaning of tautology.
My Secret Ambition
You're not going to trick me into answering this one. Nice try, though.

Dennis Afanasev, right, who grew up on the Peninsula, poses with legendary tennis coach Nick Bollettieri after winning the Nick Bollettieri Discovery Open's boys 15-and-under crown at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. (IMG ACADEMY/COURTESY OF ANDREI AFANASEV / June 16, 2013)
Perhaps overshadowed by the Menchville High boys' historic season was the Warwick girls' excellence in going unbeaten through the Peninsula District.
While Menchville won every individual match -- all 81 of them -- in the PD, the Raiders were dominant too.
While considered in the preseason as a potential contender, Warwick became far more than that. The Raiders weren't threatened in their first eight matches, setting up a matchup of PD unbeatens at Gloucester for the district championship.
With the bottom of their lineup excelling, Warwick won 6-3 to finish a 9-0 district schedule. The Eastern Region quarterfinal rotation set up the Peninsula against the Eastern District, giving the Raiders an excellent opportunity to advance.
Facing Eastern District runner-up Granby, Warwick played its usually steady game and earned a 5-2 victory. From lines 3-6, Casey Williams, Meg Lenz, Katie Goodrich and Ellary Gantan registered singles triumphs.
That got the Raiders to the semifinals, where they finally were overmatched by a strong Cox team, losing 5-0 at Huntington Park to Falcons such as Eastern Region singles champion Olivia Large.
"This is the first time we've had so much depth," Warwick coach Adrienne Rylander said of the 10-1 Raiders. "Everybody can hold that spot.
"We don't have a lot of big talent, but the heart that we've expressed, that's all we can ask for. Menchville's had that depth forever."
Though she occasionally lost at No. 1, including in those three matches, a leader of this group was senior Katlyn Yarborough, a third-year Raider. She now will move on to Christopher Newport University, and while she won't be on its varsity team, her speed and consistency could make her an excellent addition to the club lineup.
"It's clear that we don't have any famous player, but we make our reputation by the way that we play," Yarborough said. "There were plenty of matches where people assumed that we were not going to win. Now that people see what we can do, ... it was a lot of fun."
Yarborough cited Williams as an example.
"Our No. 3 Casey, she had so much heart," she said. "That was the best present, just to see our team come together."
At CNU, "I am planning on taking pre-law. I plan to become a lawyer. I hope my competition goes on both courts."
New at Hampton Tennis Center
A true prize for tennis players in the area -- public clay courts -- is back in business on Woodland Road.
Clinics, lessons and leagues are among the features at Hampton Tennis Center, located in the same complex as the Woodlands golf course, near Hampton University.
HTC needed a new director of tennis after the retirement of local tennis legend Perk Crain and then CNU's hiring last summer of Eric Christiansen as its director (head coach) of men's and women's tennis.
Former Captains starter Thomas Onoff, who has been a solid local 4.5-rated player for years except when injuries forced him to stay off the court, took the job.
He then hired head pro Jennifer Itonyo, whose duties included running this weekend's one-day junior tournament.
Itonyo, 31, was born in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria. She moved to the United States in 1997 and went to Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in the Boston area.
She first played collegiately for Massachusetts, then transferred to Norfolk State, from where she graduated in 2006. She earned All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference honors with the Spartans and has participated in numerous local tournaments since then.
As for Onoff, if you get a racket strung by him, you will join a club that features such stars a decade ago as Marat Safin.

BEIRUT: The hissing sound of voices whispering indecipherable phrases, the ringing of an old-fashioned telephone that goes unanswered, mysterious screeches as a silhouetted figure drags a lifeless body across a red-lit stage.
"There's a time after curfew," a dispassionate voice intones, "when nothing moves except the rats." Sound like the opening of a horror film? In a sense "Hotel Methuselah" is just that. At the same time it is a far more complex thing – a blend of live performance, black-and-white film sequences – a clear homage to film noir and the French New Wave that spun off from it in the 1950s – and color sequences which place it firmly in a modern context.
Imitating the Dog, the British company behind the production, were invited to give a one-off performance of the play at the Tayyouneh's Dawar al-SHAMS Wednesday, as part of the Samir Kassir Spring Festival.
The production's innovative stage design immediately sets it apart. A flat screen at the front of the stage obscures all but a small area of the stage, which is visible through a narrow aperture running its length.
Film clips are projected onto this forward screen, and against the rear of the stage, creating two separate film screens with the live action sandwiched between, visible only through this narrow chink.
The set design affords a view of the actors' torsos, but their heads and feet are cropped. The image of their faces – including close-up shots of faces, eyes and mouths – has been filmed and is projected upon the screens behind them. The stage actors must time their movements perfectly to synch with the pre-recorded film and dialogue.
"A lot of viewers see our work as destructive," says Simon Wainwright, who plays Harry, the protagonist, "because it's turning theater into film."
In fact, he explains, the aim is to fuse the strengths of both media. "The thing film can do really well is close-ups – emotion," he says. "The thing that theater does really well is body language."
The performance plays with the opportunities afforded by the mix of live action and film. Some particularly effective scenes arose from the deployment of an unseen running machine. It allows the camera to follow Harry as he appears to walk forward, while remaining in place, creating the impression of a long walk through the hotel.
The narrative is surreal and elaborate, like stepping inside someone else's nightmare. A night porter in a once-grand hotel, now fallen into seedy disrepair in an unspecified warzone, Harry performs the same ritual each night, signing-in guests and taking their suitcases to their rooms.
As bombs fall outside, Harry interacts with a series of peculiar guests who demand information, alcohol and sex in increasingly bizarre and aggressive terms.
It soon becomes clear that something strange is going on.
Harry, who cannot remember anything before his current shift, begins to play out a bizarre, repetitive sequence of encounters with guests who may or may not be the same people, all of whom seem to know something about Harry that he himself does not. They repeatedly mention a wife, whose existence he doesn't remember.
The play operates on several levels, working both as a ghost story and as an exploration of the psychological impact of war. It's left unclear whether something supernatural is up in the hotel, or whether hapless Harry is simply suffering a bit of post-traumatic stress.
"Hotel Methuselah" was extremely well-received by the audience, several of whom asked for copies of the script.
Audience member Ola Sleiman told the actors that, having lived through the Lebanese Civil War, she identified with Harry. "I feel that I don't have a past," she said, "and I don't have a future as a Lebanese."
"Doing this piece here ... because of your history," Wainwright replied, "it feels like it has a lot more weight and a lot more relevance."
The Spring Festival continues Friday at Monnot Theater with a performance of "Letter from an Unknown Woman." For more information, please call 01-202-422.

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 3/26/13
MINNEAPOLIS In the NBA, no discovery comes without its price. Last season, Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman admitted to using Nikola Pekovic sparingly when he first was cleared after his early-season injury solely because Adelman didn't know what he had. The new coach leaned on Darko Milicic at center until that became an idea too crazy for even the craziest to stomach, and only then did he give Pekovic his shot. Seems like longer than just a year ago, right? Since then, the giant Montenegrin has become the Timberwolves' best find, a center with above-average abilities who's leading his team this season in scoring and rebounding with 15.6 points and 8.6 rebounds per game in Kevin Love's absence. He's been banged up a bit, sure, and has already missed 15 contests, but on the whole, the big man has been the most pleasant and competent of surprises. Now, though, comes the price. This offseason, Pekovic will become a restricted free agent and one of the most desirable centers on the m...

Moving OC
If you are reading this then the migration to the new ISP / hosting service was successful!
Let me know if something is broken please. (mvalsmith at gmail.com)
thanks for your patience
more on the move
Well it seems the move was a total success. This ISP should be much more stable and much faster. I had a few issues getting the database running but it seems good now. I haven't seen any issues and it looks like most if not all the user accounts moved over too and people can use them. (weve got over 100 users now)
If anyone sees issues let me know.
Well its almost 1am and I think I fixed the last of the bugs. The file transfer system was messed up do to a UID problem from the migration. Its all better now and I went ahead and added sober_a to the database as a test of all the functionality. That was an intense fast paced migration hooah!

Alison Pill
Birthday: November 27, 1985Praised by industry insiders for the discernment of her role choice and her ability to segue without a hitch between theatrical and cinematic assignments, baby-faced Canadian actress Alison Pill tackled a series of low-key supporting roles onscreen before achieving her breakthrough with two filmic evocations. She delivered a compelling portrayal as the young Lorna Luft in the superior Alliance Atlantis telemovie Life With Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows (2001), and then -- on a very different note -- convincingly played Beth Burns, the goody-two-shoes sister of the title character (Katie Holmes) in the Thanksgiving dramedy Pieces of April (2003).

The Pencil: A History by Henry Petroski, Faber and Faber, pp 434 14.99 Pounds
Seldom can a title for a book have been so acurate and so misleading. A whole book about the pencil? Surely it must figure among those works of gratuitous scholarship and utter tedium that are sometimes listed for public hilarity. 'Little Known Carparks of South London', 'Sandals and Sandal-making in the Roman Empire' - titles such as these. Hold the book gingerly and turn a page or two, while suppressing a yawn, would seem to be the drill.
And get hooked. Before you have read through the first few pages, you will have been plunged into the American forests (Thoreau's family firm made pencils), Edison's pockets (he ordered specially short pencils by the thousand) and the black lead mines of Cumberland (shepherds used the stuff to mark the fleeces of sheep). There are other more subtle ...

Normally I would say keep the old Versys, since its paid for. I tend to buy used and keep them until oil runs out the exhaust pipe. My Aprilia was the closest I've come to a new bike, and it was a demo with a few thousand miles on it.
I think you have a legitimate want here, though; more power for long trips, and more comfort for those times when you wife rides pillion. Personally, I am very opposed to debt. What about selling the Versys now while it still holds some value, ride the KLR while saving some cash to throw in, then buying the Super Tenere. You may have to get a used one to avoid borrowing.
Three key parts to a plan like that would be:
1. Getting an emergency fund in place for other household stuff.
2. Getting your wife on board before selling the Versys.
3. Keeping the money in a separate bank account.
You don't want the money to get diverted to something else, leaving you with only the KLR. (not that the KLR isn't a fun bike)

Clove Oil for Toothache
Here we look at Clove oil for Toothache and does it actually work?
It has been proven that Clove Oil could work in the initial eleviation of toothache pain, as it core ingredient is "eugenol" which has antiseptic and analgesic properties. Indeed Clove Oil used to be used in dentistry for it's analgesic properties.
Again, although Clove Oil is classed as a home remedy for toothache there are certain things to be considered before using it.
Firstly, as with anything it is not a good idea to over use Clove Oil, as if too much is ingested it can have some minor side effects – upset stomach, in more severe cases it can affect the respiritory system - so always use in moderation. In the research we carried out, we found that certain people thought that just because it wasn't classed as a drug they could use as much as they liked. Also, they thought that it would not be harmful if ingested.
Once you realise just how to use it and how frequently there are very few home remedies on the market that better it.
1. Try to use a cotton wool swab, rather than your finger, as you minimise the bacteria being placed onto the already infected area.
2. If the area is harder to reach, try a cotton wool bud, but be careful not to put too much pressure on the offending area. If you have to use your finger tip, wash it first.
3. Use sparingly, that is do not douse the swab so that it drips into your mouth. Just use enough so that it easily transfers onto the area. It is better to use too little at first, as you can always reapply.
4. If you do get drips into your mouth, spit the excess out. Dont worry if you ingest a little, but try to keep to a minimum.
5. Try not to use more than every 2 hours. If you need to use more frequently, there may be some underlying problem that will need treatment.
6. You should get an almost instant relief, if not wait a few minutes before reapplying.
Of all the home remedies for toothache, we found clove oil to be the most effective.
