Nearly 40 years after its founding by the Arts & Business Council in 1975, the Business Volunteers for the Arts® network is holding strong, according to the 2014 BVA survey results.
Business Volunteers for the Arts® (BVA) is a national skills-based management consulting program operated by a network of organizations across the country under the leadership and coordination of Americans for the Arts. It pairs nonprofit arts groups with specially trained business executives who volunteer their time and skills to assist with distinct management projects. Though the number of active BVAs has fallen slightly in the past year, those still operating them are running robust programs that seek to fill an active need in the communities in which they operate, both for the arts organizations receiving pro bono support and the businesses that encourage their employees to give their time and skills to the arts.

A grandly scaled adventure about a boy who gets a horse, then loses the horse, then joins the British infantry to find the horse, War Horse is the sort of triumphant, lump-in-the-throat epic that director Steven Spielberg should be able to pull off in his sleep. Consequently, the highest compliment I can pay the movie is that its helmer, at all times, appears to be fully awake here. There's palpable filmmaking energy in nearly every shot, and several passages in this World War I family drama are so thrilling and painful and spectacularly well-choreographed that they rank among the finest in Spielberg's career.

Rangers release two on eve of cup tie
Posted: September 21, 2012|
STAFFORD Rangers confirmed on Friday that two players, Kevin Street and Dean Clarke had been released by the club by mutual consent.
Whereas Clarke only joined the Marston Road club this summer after spells with Walsall, Worcester City and Wolverhampton Casuals, the experienced Street was in his second spell at the club.
Midfield Street first signed for the Boro in 2005, when Phil Robinson was the man in charge of team affairs. In that first spell he made 52 appearances for the club and also became joint caretaker boss with Neil Grayson on Robinson's departure.
Street, who made over 200 Football League appearances with such clubs as Crewe, Luton Town and Shrewsbury Town, re-joined at the start of last season and has made over 140 appearances.
Rangers welcome back defenders Karl Espley and Luke George for Saturday's FA Cup trip to Gresley FC. If a replay is needed it will take place at Marston Road on Tuesday, September 25 with a 7.45pm kick off.

Imagine Being Pulled Into the Hereafter. While You're Still Alive. A disillusioned business executive whose life has hit a dead-end, Nick Seagrave has lost loved ones to tragedy and his family to neglect. Now, at a point of great crisis, he unbelievably and inexplicably finds himself transported to what appears to be another world. Suddenly he's confronted with profoundly clear views of his own past and personality. At the same time, he's enabled to see, hear, taste, and smell the realities of both heaven and hell–realities that force him to face dangers and trials far greater than any he's known before. Pitted against flying beasts, a monstrous web that threatens to hold him captive, an evil, brooding intelligence, and undeniable evidence of a spiritual world, Nick must finally consider the God he claims not to believe in. Walking between two worlds, Nick Seagrave prepares to make decisions that will change his life forever, as he stands on the Edge of Eternity.

text: I'm talking about what the Cardinals might do since there's a very good chance they could be 8 GB by the time the first pitch is thrown tomorrow night. I know the Cardinals are still pretty hot over what happened in Cincinnati last month, and the farther and farther they keep falling in both the NL Central and NL Wildcard standings the more I think that some of our top players will be thrown at this weekend. We've already seen what being drilled in the hand can do to one of our top players. It's one reason I think Dusty wants to keep Phillips out the whole weekend. I worry about Votto and Rolen being thrown at. Now I know the Cardinals have to have in the back of their mind that the Reds have a guy they can bring in that can throw a 105 MPH fastball at Pujols, but just how ugly do you think it might get this weekend, especially if the Reds were to win the 1st two games, and Carpenter takes the mound Sunday with the Cardinals being 10 GB in the standings?

280.13 Download link broken
Anyone else unable to download drivers?
Even if I use search tool on nvidia page, it will display a 404.
Re: 280.13 Download link broken
404 for new driver from direct link or from search page
Re: 280.13 Download link broken
Looks like the link is broken for 32-bit on the USA localised pages (nvidia.com), but links for both 32bit and 64bit work just fine on the UK pages (nvidia.co.uk).
Also, for the 280.13 release, I don't see the files on ftp (which is a bit of an annoyance when packaging it for Linux distros....).
Re: 280.13 Download link broken
I confirm. Download link is dead for both 280.13 32/64bit. Nvidia driver search and beta search for Linux also fails with 404. http://www.nvidia.co.uk works. Nvidia driver page on non USA sites (those localized) autodetects my Linux as Windows 7 32bit. Autodetection of OS on USA server works perfect and detects Linux.

Umesh Shukla, director of "OMG! Oh My God", has been approached to helm a family drama with actress Sonakshi Sinha in the lead.
"Talks are on, but nothing is official right now. I have not signed it yet. I am developing a script right now and I am looking forward to it," Shukla told IANS.
Sonakshi is the daughter of veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha and actress Poonam Sinha. Shukla says he has been approached by the Sinha family's banner for the movie.
"Sonakhi did an item number for my film 'OMG! Oh My God' and we are very good friends. I share a very good relationship with her family. Sonakshi will play the lead in my film for sure," he added.
Shukla says the project will be "a family drama and issue-based".
"They approached me to make a film for them and they are looking for some good content. It will be a light-hearted project," he added.
But considering that Sonakshi's brother Luv too is an actor, roping in the entire Sinha family is not on Shukla's mind.
"I will not do that (rope in all family members). It all depends on the script. Just to get the family together, I will not cast them. It should justify the role. So let's see how things fall in place," he said.

Welcome Cornwell's Turkeyville
We are committed to homemade and happy. It started with the idea that we would build a place where we would like to take our own family. Put the focus on Fun! Food always made the way Grandma used to; starting with real ingredients and preparing dishes using Grandma's original recipes. When you come to Turkeyville we want every minute to be special and fun!
The Turkeyville story began in 1943. Grandpa (Wayne) Cornwell was from the city and when he married Grandma (Marjorie) he decided to try his hand at farming. They decided to raise cows but 1943 was a difficult year when things weren't going very well and the cows got sick. A neighbor gave grandpa 12 turkeys to try and raise, and he was successful with all of them. In the early 60's the Cornwell's joined together with a group from the church and went to the county fair to sell turkey sandwiches. By 1968 the word was out about how good Grandma's cooking was, so they decided to open a one room eatery, now know as Cornwell's Turkeyville. Grandpa Cornwell served up the sandwiches and Grandma was in the kitchen preparing all the food.
As the family grew so did the business. The next addition to the complex was the Ice Cream Parlor. Our ice cream parlor is just the place to satisfy your sweet tooth all of our ice cream is homemade right there in our ice cream parlor. We use only the highest quality and freshest ingredients in our ice cream. Try the Butter Pecan made with real buttered pecans, or our own Turkey Trax: peanut butter ice cream filled with crushed peanuts, chocolate syrup, chocolate chips and Reese peanut butter cups. While you are enjoying your ice cream in one of our homemade waffle cones be sure to browse our wide selection of caramel corn and fudge also made in our ice cream parlor. With all of these homemade treats to choose from you are sure to find the perfect treat to take home. The dining rooms were not big enough to hold all the quests on a rainy day, so the next step was to add a 2nd dining room. This was this was enough until the early 80's when business was booming and so was the family by leaps and bounds. There were 9 family members in the business at the time, Wayne and Marjorie (Grandma and Grandpa), Joie and Alan, Sons: Blain Brent, Bryan, daughter Vicki and daughter in-law Patti. In 1984 the Country Junction gift shops opened with all kinds of great gifts, souvenirs, household items and much more. The bakery was also opened with fresh baked goods every day. The appetizing aroma from our bakery will make you want to buy, one if not everything. We have fresh cinnamon rolls, cinnamon raisin bread, garlic and cheese bread just name a few. Stop in and browse our wide selection of bakery products and find the perfect one (or more) items to take home for your family. And if you want you can even take it out of our package and tell everyone you made it yourself…we won't tell.

YIELD: 30 to 40 honeyfingers
ACTIVE TIME: 35 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 35 minutes
In a medium saucepan, whisk the 2/3 cup flour a little at a time into the cold milk so that there are no lumps. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and the sherry, and cook on medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until a thick porridge forms. Remove the pan from the heat and continue to stir briskly to cool the mixture.
When the porridge is lukewarm, add the egg and stir briskly until it is blended. Stir in the pine nuts and a dash of cinnamon and pepper. Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup flour to make a dough that is sticky but can still be handled.
On a floured board with floured hands, press the dough out to a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle; cut it into finger-size strips.
Cover the bottom of a frying pan with a layer of olive oil about 1/2 inch deep. Heat the oil and fry the strips of dough until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the fried strips to a plate covered with paper towels to drain. Dip them in honey and sprinkle them with cinnamon and pine nuts.

Give Me Good Pitching along with a good defensive players behind the plate, at shortstop, second base and center field. Throw in a first baseman who can catch the ball and a right fielder who can throw the ball and we might squeeze out a few low scoring wins. Defense in LF is low priority.
Good Pitching is key but most of those guys you are paying for their gloves better have some offensive skills as well.

' sectional view through UNITED 'sTArES PATENT OFFICE.
No. 816,02d.
Specification of Letters ?ateut.
Patented March 2?; i903;
Application filed larch 9. 1905. Burial H0. 349.200.
To alias-ham it may concern; Be it known that i, ALBERT J. Momma citizen of the United States, and a resident of Kirkw'ood, in the county of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented a new and usefui irn n'ovement in Surgical Clips, of which the iollowing is a specification.
My invention relates to clips for use in holding the edges of wounds or surgicsl incisions in contact or apposition, so that they mriy 'oin in healing.
t as for its nncipal objects to. rovidea clip which will he close,to the su ace, and thus permit the application of a bandage without inconvenience to the patient; to provide a clip which will cover a very sinsil por tion of the wound, and hence will not prevent inspection of theentire surface of the wound; to provide a clip which can be rocked on its fastening-points, so as to raise the connecting'bar away from the wound to ermit inspection or irri stion, and other ob eets hereineiter more fu ly appearing.
My invention consists in the parts and in thc'arrangements and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings iorniin a part of this specification, and wherein h e symbols refer to like parts wherever they occur, Figure 1 is a. perspective view of a wound closed clips. Fi 2 is a plan view. Fig. 3 is a si e view,snd 1g. 4 an end view, ofthe preferred form of clip. Fig. 5 is a transverse the preferred form of clip, showing it turned up away from the surface of the wound. Figs. 6 and 7 are plan and side views, respectively, 'of a modified form of cli which may be stamped out. Figs. 8 an 9 are planand side views re spectively, of a modified form of ciip w ch may be bent into shape; and Fig. 10 18 e clip similar to that shown in Figs. 8 and 9, but having. an angular bar.
The sur icel clips herein disclosed are intended to is used to hold the sides of incisions or wounds to ether instead of stitches.
The referred orm of cli comprises a. curved er 1, which is providiad at its ends with herbs 2. The barbs are formed by making slopin incisions in the bar the dis pieced ieces 'orming the barbs. The barbs prefers ly proicct downwardly from the plane of the bar and slightly fcrwerdiy from a line joining their roots. This latter inclination given them because the bar will be bent imo the position shown in dotted lines sibiiity of iii-Fig. 2 when a plied. The inclination is such that the her s will be brought into the same vertical plane when the clip is in place on a wound. The barbs are not formed di: rectly at the ends of the bar, but are formed short of the end, jthus leaving short shoulders or stops 3. These steps will prevent the pos burying the ends of the clip in the flesh when forcing in the herbs.
The clip when in place lies flat and close to the surface of the skin. It is smell, and a bandage can be bound over it tightly with:-
out the production of psinfui pressure under I the clip. The area of the incision or wound covered by the bar is very smeii and racticeily hides none of it. W hen it is desired to irrigate the wound, the clip can be rocked on its points, as shown in Fig. 5, thus leaving suffioient space between the bar and the surface. This is accomplished without any danger of or necessity for removin the clip or permitting the wound to spread? The arbscan be inserted to a depth equal onl to their length, the shouiders 3 preventing the burying of the ends of the clip in the flesh.
A satisfactory clip may be made by stamping,e.nd such a clip is shown in Figsli and 7. It comprises e curved bar 4, which is substen tially rectangular in crosssoction. herbs 5 are formed on the ends of the bar and occupy substantially the some position with respect to the bar as the herbs 2 on thebar 1 of the preferred form of clip.
Another modification they be mode by bending, such a modification being shown in Figs. 8 and 9. The clip is made from wire bent into an arc to form a curved bar 6 and bovin its ends pointed and bent sharply to form herbs 7, occupying substantially the same position with res not to the bares the herbs 2 on the bar 1 o the preferred form of cli in none of the modifications isit necessary that the bar of the clip be curved. It may be angular, as shown in Fig. 10, or any other shape which will misc it away from the surface when the clip is rocked on its points or herbs.
Obviously m device is capable of modification withln t is scope of my invention, and therefore I do not wish to be limited to the specific construction shown and described.
What 1 claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A surgical clip comprising a.
Pointed her debarbs on said bar near the ends thereof and projecting out of the plane of said bar and at an angle to said plane, bot h of said-barbs projecting upon the elillll' side of said plane,
2. A sur'icnl clip comprisin a bar prosided with barbs near its ends, siid bar bein deflected from a line connecting the roots 0 said barbs, and said barbs being inclined away from the plane of said bar, whereby said her may lie flat upon the surface to which the clip may be secured by said barbs and the clip me be rocked upon its barbsj 3. A surgica clip comprisin a bar. deflected from a line connecting its ends and having sloping incisions near its ends, the
said incisions are March, 1905.
metal displaced from said incisions bein' inclined away from said er and at an ang e to the plane of said bar and constituting barbs, the cross-section of said bar being substantiallyunif orm from end to end except where located.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 7th day of ALBERT J. MEIER. Witnesses:

Derek Jeter laughs off Hank Steinbrenner's comments
Feb 22, 2011, 11:09 AM EDT
As if you expected anything else. Jeter, when asked about Hank Steinbrenner's comments from yesterday, basically laughed them off. Ben Shpigel has the full rundown. You will not be at all surprised to see that Jeter closed with "Owners can say what they want."
Which is all sad. I mean, how awesome would it have been if Jeter gave a heartfelt and near-teary-eyed defense of himself and the mansion he's building? If he said that he gave everything he had to the Yankees for the past 16 years and that it pained him deeply to be questioned by Mr. Steinbrenner?
Oh well. That's why he's Derek Jeter.

my bad.

From a competitive standpoint, other than the ghost of Lou Gehrig, I can't think of any other Yankee that Hank should NOT question. Come to think of it, Hank may be projecting a little bit. He doesn't look like a fierce one who has fought for what he has and he probably worries a little bit more about mansions than the rest of us.
- bigharold - Feb 22, 2011 at 11:43 AM
"Oh well. That's why he's Derek Jeter."
Which in the cases translates into not only a HOF SS but intelligent too. There is an old saying that Jeter is clearly adhering to;
Never argue with an idiot, .. people watching might not be able to tell the difference.
This is clearly a an opportunity for a minimalist defense thereby allowing Hank to be , .. well Hank.
Nuff said.
- Utley's Hair - Feb 22, 2011 at 11:53 AM
Next up, Hank will start ripping into Jonny5's Jeteresque powder room and deck.

"… Jeteresque powder room and deck."
You say that like it's a bad thing.
- cleareye1 - Feb 22, 2011 at 12:30 PM
It must be irritating for an athlete to listen to complaint from some doughy trust fund loser just because he inherited a team from his daddy.
- gatorprof - Feb 22, 2011 at 5:42 PM
Jeter is nothing but class… There are so many openings to have fun with Hank, "Jeter: Hungry? We were Hungry, but not like Hank. He is always hungry which is why he needs an elastic waistband. Owners can say anything they want. I just laugh as a cash their checks and go nail Minka. Hank is just jealous as all his money can't buy anything close to Minka"
- cur68 - Feb 22, 2011 at 10:01 PM
Damn your oily hide, Jeter! I want to hate you but I hate Hank the stank more. I'm so conflicted…

Zott, Christoph; Amit, Raphael
Innovation usually means a new product. But what if it meant a new way of doing business? Christoph Zott of IESE and Raphael Amit of Wharton examine the enormous implications that business-model innovation can have, and they derive a business-model-innovation process from the world of design for how best to go about it.
Zott, Christoph; Amit, Raphael
Alejos, Claudia Lucía
The number of products billed as environmentally friendly shot up by more than 70 percent from 2009 to 2010 alone. But a study done in Canada found that as many as 95 percent of products touted as "green" are not as ecologically sound as they claim to be. Under mounting pressure from the public, some companies may be guilty of "greenwashing."
Blasco, F.J.; Gallifa, Ángela; Guada, Jorge; et al.
For the first time since the financial crisis hit, the rate of absenteeism at work is climbing, not falling, in Spain. Employees appear to be less fearful of losing their jobs, but as this "crisis effect" fades away, the costs associated with absenteeism may grow. Greater flexibility with work schedules is one measure that could help reduce unwarranted absences.

The Evolution of the Internet Of Things Session by Chris Gray
The Internet of Things is not new. Historically, smart businesses have used its basic concept of leveraging data to drive better decision making and have capitalized on those insights to realize additional revenue opportunities. So, what has changed to make the Internet of Things one of the hottest topics in tech?
In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Chris Gray, Director, Embedded and Internet of Things, will discuss the underlying factors that are driving the economics of intelligent systems. Discover how hardware commoditization, the ubiquitous nature of connectivity, and the emergence of Big Data and analysis are providing the pull to meet customer expectations of a widely connected, multi-dimensional universe of people, things, and information. Chris will present real-world use cases that demonstrate how to:
- Collapse the information lifecycle and ultimately go from data to decision faster.
- Collect, transmit, transform, and take action on data in areas that have not been possible before.
- Meet critical security requirements as more and more information and data processing occurs outside the data center.
- Capitalize on near field processing to reduce transmission costs and decision time horizons.

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

MINNEAPOLIS Rick Adelman didn't want to say it too loud lest he jinx himself, but it's official: the Timberwolves on Monday were completely healthy. As of this afternoon, everyone was practicing, and only Malcolm Lee is unlikely to play in Tuesday night's game against Israeli team Maccabi Bazan Haifa.Lee missed most of last season after tearing the meniscus in his left knee in December, and even after seven months of recovery, a D-League stint and 19 games with the Timberwolves, he was deemed unable to participate in summer league in Las Vegas in July. He then reported healthy to training camp the first week of October before tweaking his groin in Mankato, and had not practiced since. On Monday, he participated in the full practice, but he's still easing his way back into the routine."I think it's just a matter of letting him get back into the game," coach Rick Adelman said. "He's got to get in game shape so he can show us something. Right now, it's more important that he just gets...

A very nice book with a great selection of traditional saltwater patterns, richly illustrated with step-by-step photos. Not a coffee table book in any sense, but an excellent beginner's title.
The video is filmed in exquisite quality and with all the hallmarks of good photography and filming: great composition, great angles, nice rhythm and of course the kind of stunning images you get when filming large and beautiful fish in perfect, tropical conditions.
Yet another impressionistic crab pattern that includes materials providing a lot of movement. This an Aaron Adams pattern that is often eaten as it drops to the bottom.
Omeko Glinton created the Meko Special in an attempt to come up with a single fly that you can fish over any color bottom so you don't have to waste time changing flies as you move from flat to flat.
Dick Brown has made a good book much better by updating his classic 1996 title, and Bonefish Fly Patterns must be considered mandatory reading for bonefish anglers - rookies and oldtimers - on line with Randall Kaufmann's Bonefishing! and Brown's own Fly Fishing for Bonefish.
Seven family members from various cities across the U.S. got together for a vacation this spring in Key Largo, Florida. The author is the only avid angler of the bunch and alerted the others that he wanted to get some fishing in while we were there, and they were welcome to fish along.
Fishing for large tarpon on the fly. Our best tarpon articles on gear, methods, patterns, destinations, tips, videos and much more.
The first time Korrie Broos saw one of Craig Bertram Smith's works of art was a pencil sketch he'd made to commemorate a trophy giant kingfish he'd caught, posted on a fly fishing forum. The sketch was magnificent, and Korrie immediately sent Craig an email
Tom Gorman admits that he's brought a 12-wt. outfit along on fishing trips to various parts of the world where sailfish are present, but the opportunity for him to present a fly to a sail just never seemed to happen. Until during his recent trip to Guatemala.
Charles Rangeley-Wilson is an apparently mild-mannered Englishman who spends most of his time in the London area. But he is addicted to bonefishing, so much so that he shows signs of withdrawal when unable to cast a fly on a Caribbean flat for some time. This resulted in a DVD.
Four full films, ten short films and a collection of the best clips entitled "fish porn". All collected by RA Beattie who has been scooting around the globe and has compiled more than three hours of fishing video spanning Alaska, NZ, Slovenia, the US - even New Guinea! A beautiful production and more than worth its 25 bucks price tag,
We all love these shots of stunningly clear water. Streams, lakes even the ocean can appear almost ethereal in the way that the bottom is visible in your shot. How do you best shoot these images, which let's the freshness and clarity of the water come out in the final picture?
This classical bonefish book from 1992 has now been totally revised to reflect the most recent development in bonefishing and has had a well deserved visual overhaul with more color photos and a very nice layout. The book is very hands on and practical in its approach.
Five NZ friends have obviously been surfing Google Maps too much, circling small spots in French Polynesia indicating probable bonefish spots. In spite of the improvisational philosophy of this project, the chances taken and the somewhat random events that are chained together in this film, it's become an excellent production.
Extremely short, but very entertaining story about a bunch of half crazy anglers that hunt for roosterfish from the beach of the Baja Mexico. Made in a contemporary, fast paced and action filled manner with only little emphasis on facts and fishing methods but a lot of emphasis on the rush of chasing and catching these magnificent fish.
Is this just for nerds or do you as angler get something out of knowing how accurate you can measure the temperature? For some, knowing the temperature may change the day from a disaster to success.
When two friends go down the road, for a late afternoon fly fishing session on the reefs, and take their #14 and #15 rods... You know that there is something radically wrong, upstairs. This is the story of the two friends Jacques Visser and Jimmy Eagleton who have taken on the South African sharks.
Bob White is probably best known for his illustrations for John Gierach's long running column in the printed magazine Fly Rod and Reel. Here he tells a bit about how it all started, how he works - and that he also guides and has done so through 27 seasons from south to north, home and abroad.
Read about Florida artist, guide and store owner Vaughn Cochran's history and see samples of his beautiful art, which stretches from pop art over impressionsitic scenes to sculptures. Cochran paints and sculpts fish and scenes from his home waters as well as other tropical waters.
Second part of the Bahamian bonefish joyride as described by The Gang of Four. Join Paul, Tomaz, Ian and Simon on more bonefish fun, a sailboat regatta and lots of good, clean Bahamian fun.
Go on a bonefishing adventure and catch bones, tarpon, shark and a wealth of other species in the waters of the Bahamas. Tomaz Modic and Paul Slaney tells the story of fish caught and released, lines and rods broken and lots of fun had.
When you speak to old timers about fishing for tigerfish on the Zambezi River they will tell you of driving along dirt roads, cutting a path through the forest to get access to the river. Lions still running wild, and while they fished elephants chased anglers away from the bank. This is not how it is today.
GFF partner Martin Joergensen has been lucky enough to fish quite a lot of places in this world, and generally consider himself a well-travelled fly fisher. He feels that he lives up to the name of this site This book makes him humble in that respect.
You need luck, a good guide and skills to catch a tarpon. We can't supply the luck. You'll have to go there to get a good guide. The skill... well, you'll have to hone that yourself. But a good fly pattern, that's something we can help with.
This small treatise will introduce you to the parts of its natural history, which are most interesting to fly anglers. Learn about the bonefish habitats, their diet and what other things might help you get a better picture of the ghost of the flats.
Crazy Charlie, Bonefish Bitters, Bonefish CDC&Elk and more. Some of these bonefish flies are well known, some are close to unknown, but they can all catch bonefish. Martin Joergensen has selected a few and tells the story.
GFF partner Martin Joergensen offers a few pieces of advice that might bring you nearer the bonefishing Nirvana. You will find traditional advice like "wear sunscreen" and "learn to cast", but also some less ordinary points such as "Don't listen to the guide".
"What you got?"
"It's a small one"
The fish is fought to the boat and assessed.
"Eight-pound fish. And this fish is a minnow compared to those fish that we were casting at out there..."
Craig Mathews usually does Montana and Yellowstone but also knows his bonefish. GFF partner Martin Joergensen writes "This is certainly one of the better DVD's I have watched lately, and definitely the best how-to DVD I have seen on bonefishing."
This book on the Yucatan Peninsula by Argentinian anglers Juan Pablo Reynal and Daniel Beilinson is one of the most beautiful books we have ever reviewed on the Global FlyFisher! The sheer size makes it impressing, but the imagery is just beyond belief.
Fernández is definitely one of the grand old men in bonefishing, and although his name is all over the bonefishing community, this is as far as reviewer Martin Joergensen knows his first book as an author.
Global FlyFisher partner Martin Joergensen has gone through his shelves and dug out the best books and DVD's on bonefishing he could find.
Now, this is something! Norwegian Christian Figenschou and his friends Dariusz and Julem's fabulous pictures of bonefishing and their attitude towards fishing fit perfectly into the GFF bonefishing theme.
This is a very personal view of bonefishing from a rookie in the game - namely Global FlyFisher partner Martin Joergensen. He has discovered that both he and Lefty Kreh likes bonefishing best, and tries to unveil why they both share this passion with so many others.
This is a first in the Global Flyfisher's history: a theme! This theme is about bonefishing, the hunt for one of the most sought after fish in the world: Albula Vulpes, the white fox or the ghost of the flats.
This book reads "Memories, Mangrove and Magic" on the cover, and all that is well represented inside. The book is a beautiful journey in pictures, drawings and text through Flip Pallot's amazing fly-fishing adventures in places that most of us can only dream to go.
US based master fly tyer Bob Veverka has gathered together a whole bunch of very creative fly tyers to create a book that will appeal to all fly tyers, not just those who want to chase salty fish.
Rio Lagartos is a small town on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico which is an excellent starting point for a tarpon trip. GFF partner Martin Joergensen's trip there didn't bring the big 100 lbs. tarpon, but many decent ones - plus the odd jack and snook.
The flats of Oahu in Hawai'i, harbor some of the largest bonefish in the world... although, Hawai'i isn't your typical bonefishing destination. Read why, how to do it and what you will catch
GFF partner Martin Joergensen took on the Mexican bonefish during a two week stay in Punta Allen north of Ascension Bay last winter. It wound up being a trip that was bumpy in more than one sense - both on and off the water. But with plenty bonefish.
Martin started using the Bonefish Bitters while fishing on his own in Mexico. He writes: "I continued using my Bitters and caught many more fish on them the following days. After two weeks of fishing I felt like a champion and was very satisfied with myself."
David Klausmeyer is the latest author of a book on tying flies for saltwater fly fishing. His book, Tying Contemporary Saltwater Flies, offers excellent fly tying instruction as well as an impressive reference of fly patterns.
You do not get to fish a 12 weight one hand rod every day. GFF partner Martin Joergensen has had the pleasure of field testing a Sirrus 12 wt - an impressing rod at a very good price.
Randall Kaufmann sets new standards within contemporary fly fishing literature with his masterpiece on bonefishing. GFF partner Martin Joergensen has taken a virtual daydream trip to all the greatest bonefish destinations in the world. Read his review.
Read web site partner Martin Joergensen's report and see the fantastic pictures from his spring trip to Belize after bonefish, tarpon, barracuda, jacks, snappers, permit - and everything else that swims in these warm, turquoise waters.
How would you like a story that features blue sky, clear water, bonefish galore - not to mention The Mother of all hangovers and the greatest fishing spot on the face of this earth? Well, you get it all here in Paul Slaney's fantastic three piece story from the Bahamas. Trust me, Mon!

Adventure Trio rides again....Canada, Great Divide, and who knows what else
I usually wait until the end of the trip to attempt these reports but always run out of time and have trouble remembering the details. We'll try something different this year and write and post as we go....what a concept.
This will be the 3rd long range trip for my now 9 year old son, wife, and I. Somehow we have managed to carve a month out for this trip and I couldn't happier. Well actually stressed out with all of the trip prep in addition to work wrap ups etc, but no complaints.
Here's our photo of our setup that was taken at Overland Expo earlier this year.
We've changed up some gear since then adding a new tent, replacing some worn out camping items, and a better system for capturing the moments of the trip. Trying to document the experiences is always challenging while you are in the "experience" without ruining the moment. Live and learn.
We depart this coming Thursday June 16th and our first stop will be a friends farm near Petrolia. From there the plan is to ride the coast and camp on our way to Vancouver Island. As we head east we have the Kettle Valley Railway http://www.kettlevalleyrailway.ca/ in our sights and the rest is open for how we feel and weather conditions. Traveling with kids is a bit different as he is the final say when things get rough. He's ridden with me in hail, rain, snow (not our favorite) and cold when we get caught in it and we leave it up to him if we need to call it for the day or press on.
Here's a link to our Spot locator.
That's it for now.....let the games begin. Off to finish the final prep.

More packing tonight and a final check of the bikes. Good Day Sacramento is talking to us tomorrow about our travels, specifically about how we do it as a family. Here's our mock camp setup in the back yard.
Sandy will be doing a cooking demo and whatever else they want to see. We can't wait to get on the road.......Thursday....tick tock.

Departure day....
Packed and ready to depart in 90 minutes. We've been asked to stop by Good Day Sacramento so they can give us a live sendoff. Thanks to my riding partner, PR person and wife for setting this up. Trying to get the word out about travel and specifically family travel....get up and do something.
Til later.....

Finally on the road....it's difficult to slow down from the everyday pace and take it all in. The little kid in me want s to do it all now, today. This is only day one, there's more to come.
But first a little stop at a local morning show for a live sendoff. A short interview and then they watch usnas we ride off to begin our trip......well not really. We turned around and came right back asnJack wanted to see the inside of the studio. What 9 year old wouldn't??
Now for our "real" departure from Sacramento. Complete with 35 mph cross winds....my favorite. Up highway 5 and cut west on 20 to make up a little time, 240+ miles today. Even 101 had a veracious head wind.
Gotta feed this kid
A quick stop at the beginning of the Avenue of the Giants
After 4 1/2 hous we arrived at Pepperwood Farms off the north end of the Avenue of the Giants near Scotia. Owned by a childhood friend of Sandy's and her husband who cut ties with corporate America a year ago and is making a go of being an organic farmer. No easy feat after seeing all the work they have done.
We made it to Brookings Oregon the next day and are taking a few days to rest. The trip preparation plus long days at work have all 3 of us run down. A quick recharge and northward.
More photos and video soon.

After so many days off from updating this report it's hard to remember everything......damn Our stopover in Brookings provided some much needed rest. We pressed north with hopes of making it to Astoria.......uh huh. About an hour from Newport we realized that it wasn't going to happen. Traffic, weather, and a tired passenger had us looking for a camping spot. Meeting some other kids was on the agenda. It was fathers day as well....
Always a beautiful sight
My fathers day dinner......my wife rocks!
And a happy guy
Jack took off to go meet some kids. He grabbed his guitar and took off in the direction of the park. Within minutes he had a new group of kids to hang out with for the night.
And a very tired guy at the end of the day
Not so smart to leave "some" of the riding gear out. It rained a little that night and needless to say I wore a soggy helmet for the day.
Perfect. All packed up and ready to go by 9:30, although we planned to leave by 8. Onward north....Seattle tonight?? Not likely
But first a greasy breakfast to get the day started.
A cold rainy ride up the coast. Astoria would be the spot for the night. Our favorite hotel underneath the bridge.
We stopped in town for a quick lunch. 2 college girls walked in and one commented on the bikes. I figured it was just friendly conversation until she told us that she had a 650GS and a couple of dirt bikes. She lived on a boat in Astoria that she sailed down from the northern coast of Washington. Very cool to hear.
Wow, a photo with all of us in it....

OK, so today we will make Seattle. More mixed weather heading north (what a surprise) Tried to find Touratech on the way in to the city and was foiled by construction that eliminated the correct exit ramp and a GPS screen that drew a spaghetti map complete with uturn after uturn. We decided to head find our room for the night.
The first hotel didn't fair so well as we got off the elevator and smelled the strong odor of pee. We walked to the room only to open the door and find people already in the room.....sleeping. (think goldie locks and the 3 bears)
We went back down, got a refund, and stayed in the parking lot looking for another room on the ipad. Last minute rates worked for us and a new room was found.
Seattle is one of Sandy's favorite cities.
Jack loves the monorail. The driver let him on the horn button a few times along the ride. What kid doesn't love that.
Some friend we made at Overland Expo 2011 live in Seattle and invited us over for a BBQ. One of my favorite things about the adventure travel community is the people you meet and how they/we will open their homes to travelers. This is by far the best travel we do and people like this make it so.
Our hosts Mike and Shannon have been on some amazing trips. Alaska, Baja, Mexico, etc. all with their Chiuaua on the back of one of the bikes.
They were hosting another rider from southern California that needed a spot to stay while having some bike maintenance done before heading to Alaska.
One of Mike's restored bikes. No coaxing was needed to get him to roll it out for a few photos.
We said our goodbye's and went back to pack up. The next day we head for Vancouver Island. A family, ATKNUT here on ADV, invited us to come and camp at their farm there. They have 2 young sons that have traveled to Alaska and southern Mexico with them and should be able to swap some road stories with Jack.

Even at 41 I still get excited to ride a motorbike on to a ferry.
Tetris blocks
As we exited the ferry we rode north to where we were invited. Again a spaghetti map was drawn and we went a few miles out of our way to get there. As we rolled up we were met by Renee, big smile and welcome, and pointed us where to park. All I can say is what a place! My first sights as I was getting my helmet and gear off were a beautiful log home milled on site and built by them, a huge swimming/irrigation pond with a sail boat in it, horses, a donkey, a great dane, need I go on. After the introductions Jack spotted the fire truck that they use to pump and irrigate some of the grounds. That was the first stop for him. Our other host Henry and I swapped some stories and got to know each other over a few beers and the fire pit with the salmon and potatoes grilling.
Did I mention that there were a few dirt bikes too? Jack hadn't ridden a bike with a clutch yet, but he was about to learn.
Off and running
There was a little "testing" of the siren that still worked. I have to admit, I wanted to turn the lights on too.
Jack decided he wanted to sleep on the boat for the night.
As it turned out he slept until after 9am the next day.
Some very cool animals too....
Morning coffee
What a goofball
So cool to have another family that will take off with the kids and travel by motorcycle. We decided to head out for dinner the second night.
A beautiful sight....
We had an absolute blast with this family. None of us wanted to leave, but we needed to press on. There were talks of a trip south for them in the near future and they know that they now have a base camp in northern California if they need it.
Thanks Henry, Renee, Quinten, and Tanner!
Sunday June 2th
We departed and headed towards Pemberton beyond Whistler. We stopped in Whistler to take a break and ended up staying here for the night. A hotel guy saw us parked and offered a discounted room if we needed it......tired, sore, sold! Lots of spoiled rich kids here. I miss the farm.......
More as we go.....

AdventureTrio, thank you for making my morning such a pleasant one! I grew up in Seattle and am truly enjoying your report. It brings back wonderful memories of the Pacific Northwest. I am especially touched by how you have involved your son in the adventure and by the special bond that the three of you have formed on the motorcycles. I too, am blessed with a wife who rides, and like yours, she is a great campsite chef as well!

Here's my second attempt at writing about the days happenings......was just about finished and hit 2 keys that deleted my entry.....
After leaving the farm we headed east with our sights set on Whistler. Touristy I know but we've never been there and had a plan if it was too expensive.
As I was getting rate information for hotels (not adventurous) an employee of a local hotel approached us and said he could get an employee rate for a fellow rider. Well within our budget for the week and far under Whistler rates we decided to take him up on it.
A few more bikes on this ferry ride
The guys enjoying the ride
Our arrival in Whistler was shocking to say the least. Rich kids everywhere and crowds.....what are those. We walked around for a bit and let a kid be a kid.
And took the usual destination photos
It was at that time that we decided we "had" to get the bikes down here to takes some pics. Let's get up early and roll them in.
Ok, enough of that. Let's get the hell outta here and go camp! Onward east....

With our sights set on Lake Louise we departed ahem, early....10:30.
Knowing full well that wasn't going to happen we pushed off and took highway 99 toward kamploops. All I can say is WOW, what a great road.
The reoccurring theme here is Jack and I in the photo, and Sandy NOT in the photo. Someone's got to take them.....
In to Kamploops we roll. No camping as close as we need it for as late as it is. Damn, another motel. It doesn't mean we can't cookout like we're camping.
A quick trip to the market, and some jetboil and fuel, and whala.....dinner
The cooking done on the wall mount A/C unit.... I know, classy, but damn tasty.
The room kinda smells like,...well,.....cooked food. Ooops. A happy crew though
We shall camp tomorrow! Full bellies, good night!

Ok, Ok, Lake Louise it is. We rolled in about 3pm and got our site. This was all after I spent 2 hours chatting on and off with Jack about all of the kids he'll meet while camping. Me and my big mouth. This is the first time in history that a camp ground was less than half full in the middle of summer. Could it be all of the rain they have been getting.....um, yeah. I think it was.
No kids and very few other campers. Good for solitude, not for a kid who needs some playmates. Note to self, less is more, keep your big mouth shut.
We set up camp in a beautiful spot.
And stood like horses under the trees while it rained for 90 minutes. We weren't ready to be stuck in the tents yet. Finally off for a walk. I've never stayed in a place surrounded by electric fence to keep the bears out. This would never fly in the U.S. This is defineately a Darwin fence.....don't touch stupid!
Back for dinner Sandy cooked up another perfect meal. Salmon (made us think and remenisce about Henry and Renee & the boys) and vegi's. Jack experimented with a torch made with sap from the tree wrapped around the stick with toilet paper. Success....
Our meal
And the beautiful chef
Some sap balls we used to start the fire later when the rain began again.
The next day another hike, but this time he brought the guitar, "just in case"
We walked to the nearby village, ie: shopping area where he set up shop playing for a while.
I told him to put out a tip jar for gas money, but he just sat and played. So very cool to watch.
More rain, more packing up in the rain with wet tents, rinse, repeat. Nothing to see here......

Onward the next day to find a hot springs to stay at for the night. We ended up at Farimont Hot Springs back in B.C.
This was after Sandy being run off the road by some ass hat on the way down. She had her exit plan ready to go when it happened and staying on pavement the whole way. Back in the lane she came and I spent the next 45 minutes coming up with 25 different ways to deal with this guy when he stopped. Luckilly we never saw him again....it would have delayed the trip a bit I'm sure.
Moving on.......
On the way down we came to the continental divide....again. We had to stop
Someone actually took this photo so we could all be present. After the photo was taken Sandy fell over while mouting the bike for departure. When I said "should I get the camera?" our deal when anything happens and after finding out if everyone is ok, I was met with "help me get this fuc*%ng thing up!" I get it, just had to ask...
Jack was getting used to the whole CD thing.
Alberta, B.C. and so on....
Once checked in at our room at the hot springs there was laundry to do, website to update, calls to make, and oh yeah, check out these springs.
The view out of our window
My soft spot for Saint Bernards after having one for almost 13 years. I got my fill with this one the night before
Goodbye Canada, now to Montana.....
