This week I am blogging from beautiful Caesars Palace hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada to report on what I see and hear at the 28th annual Data Center Conference. Today was simply registration, which opened at 4pm, and I was able to get my conference backpack, badge, and details of the week.
Already, I can tell there will be more people here, and it looks like the economy is on the rebound versus last year. Here are my posts from 12 months ago when I attended this conference in 2008:
- [Red Badge of Courage]
- [Day 2 - Keynote Sessions]
- [Solution Showcase]
- [Day 3 - More Keynote Sessions]
- [Deploying Disruptive Storage Architectures]
- [Day 4 - Future of the Data Center]
- [Surviving Hurricane Katrina]
- [Hospitality Suites]
- [Day 5 - The Last Few Sessions]
This year, we will have the IBM Portable Modular Data Center (PMDC) with XIV and iDataPlex inside, as well as several subject matter experts joining me at the solution center. Look for us in the "Hunter Green" shirts.

Why You Shouldn't Open a Store Credit Card
1. Opening up a store card can lower your credit score.
Requesting new lines of credit will ding your credit score, making future home loans and car loans harder to get and ultimately more expensive, says consumer saving expert Andrea Woroch.
Unfortunately, when you apply for a store credit card, there is a "hard inquiry" on your credit file, says Todd Albery, CEO of Quizzle.com. Applying for too many store cards can lower your credit scores because you're loading up on potentially damaging inquiries, he explains.
"Even if you open the store credit card just for the promotions and close the account soon after, your credit can still take a hit," Albery says. "A portion of your credit history is determined by your available credit, so closing an account you don't use can lower your score because you will lose the value of the credit limit."
Simply put, it's dangerous to open up cards on a whim, says Brian Kelly, founder and CEO of credit card comparison site ThePointsGuy.com.
"It's a hit on your credit, and you have to evaluate whether it's worth the benefit to do it," Kelly says.
2. The big savings are for big spenders.
Usually store cards offer a savings of 15% and 20% off your purchases on the day you open the card, but unless you're spending hundreds or thousands of dollars in a single day, you really aren't saving an enormous amount, Kelly says.
"If you are a luxury shopper dropping $15,000 and you can get 20% off, then that's a great deal," Kelly says. "But for most of us spending just a few hundred dollars, it makes more sense to take advantage of sign-up bonuses on traditional credit cards, which can be anywhere from $200 in travel points to $500 cash."
When you do the math, you realize you'd have to spend quite a bit on a store card to equal the sign-up bonus you can get from some of the best reward cards, says Gerri Detweiler, Credit.com's personal finance expert.
"Plus, with a new reward card you can use it anywhere that card is accepted, and not just in particular store," Detweiler says.

Drinking the Kool-Aid
Bob Valeu, Bismarck
After reading Stan Stein's take on the 2013 legislative session I had to ask myself if he has actually drank the Kool-Aid the rest of his party has been dishing out, or if he's trying to play a game of misdirection with the people of North Dakota. Either way, it's time to set the record straight and stop pretending that this GOP "lead" session was anything more than an abysmal failure in providing real and lasting relief to the people of North Dakota.
There are so many issues to choose from, but seeing as how we have a word limit, I'm afraid I will run out of space before being able to address them all. Let's start with GOP leader Al Carlson's defeat of 1319 which included, among other things, K-12 funding. During the 11th hour, Carlson defeated this very important bill, causing the Legislature to consider hundreds of millions of dollars in vital allocations in the wee hours of the morning. I wonder if that is the "strong Republican leadership" that Stein was referring to in his letter.
Let's consider the fact that across our state there are billions of dollars in infrastructure problems, and this "leadership" continues to insist on playing "catch up" instead of putting together a real path and plan forward. Or how about their back patting for providing funding to oil impacted communities. Do they think we have forgotten that their very own Dwight Cook attempted to strip this funding and claimed western North Dakotans needed to "justify" their needs?
Maybe they would rather talk about property and income tax "relief." Areas all across our state have already learned that the GOP's plan actually does little to provide guaranteed relief, and let's not forget that most of the tax relief that passed during this session will go to out of state corporations. Maybe Chairman Stein forgot about those little details as well.
Stan Stein's letter leaves the realm of ridiculous and enters delusional when he claims the GOP expanded "protection for the most vulnerable state residents" Did he forget that his party voted to legalize discrimination, voted to legalize voter suppression, oh yes, and defeated a bill that would have provided milk or juice to elementary kids during their midday break? Stein will claim that his party righted their wrong on the milk vote, but what he and his friends won't tell you is that their version of this bill will actually steal funds previously allocated for additional educational resources in order to fund the milk/juice break program.
I could go on, but I think my point regarding this session is clear. If North Dakotans want more of the same failure in leadership and misplaced priorities, stick with the GOP. If citizens want balance in governance, consideration for the future, and forward progress, look to the Democratic-NPL. We know what real leadership looks like.

(This blog post also appears in JapaneseBallPlayers.com blog.)
Filling this under interesting and odd/strange story related to Japanese baseball.
The name Horace Wilson is well-known in Japan. I can confirm that it is true — I even knew his name. "The one who taught us baseball," Japanese say. It's an answer to a trivia question, and in first sentence in the "History of Baseball In Japan". He has a plaque at Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame at Tokyo Dome. I seem to recall seeing that in person last time I visited there in 2008.
He is originally from Maine, and there was an interesting report on Boston's WBUR, about his decedents, who didn't know anything about what he did in Japan. The reporter, Theo Balcomb, is a family member.
Japanese Baseball Began On My Family's Farm In Maine
After Horace Wilson left the farm in Maine and fought in the Civil War, he traveled to Japan in 1871 and became a teacher. He then taught at what would become Tokyo University. There, he introduced to the students the game of baseball. This is my own opinion, but I think the duel between a pitcher and a batter, even though this is a team game played between teams, had appealed to the Japanese "samurai" style — I think of the duel between Musashi Miyamoto and Kojiro Sasaki on Ganryujima in the early 1600's. but I digress.
I think it is fascinating that his family was completely unaware until the Japanese historian contacted them. I guess Horace never bothered to tell the family, or perhaps he didn't think much of it then — who could imagine that the baseball will be cultivated in Japan over hundred years, through World Wars, and produce likes of Ichiro Suzuki and two World Baseball Classic Titles. Whatever the reason, this is a very unique story, and worth a read/listen.

Nintendo shutters TVii video service for Wii U
Nintendo is shutting down its video service for the Wii U console less than three years after it began, but few users are lamenting its demise.
Nintendo is shutting down its video service for the Wii U console less than three years after it began, but few users are lamenting its demise.
Nintendo won't be abandoning hardware or licensing its game titles for use on smartphones, its President Satoru Iwata told analysts in Tokyo.
Nintendo cut the price on its flagship game console and introduced a portable system Wednesday, hoping to spur sales and better position itself for the year-end holiday season.
Nintendo's President said a lack of compelling titles for the Wii U is hurting sales, and promised to improve the console's lineup this year.
Japanese gamemaker Nintendo will combine its hardware teams for portable and home-based consoles, the first major change in its development structure in nearly a decade.
Sales of Nintendo's new Wii U game console appear to be lagging those of its famous predecessor in Japan after its opening weekend, though the company says both sold out and comparisons are largely meaningless.
The original concept for Nintendo's new Wii U game controller?
Amazon.com has released its paid streaming video service on Nintendo's new Wii U console, with a host of titles free to users who subscribe to its Amazon Prime service.
The console and the handheld GamePad in Nintendo's hot-selling Wii U form a special bond, thanks to proprietary smarts that Nintendo and Broadcom developed to drive high Wi-Fi performance.
Nintendo apologized to early buyers of the Wii U for outages on its new online gaming platform, but said sales of its new flagship game console were strong during its global launch Sunday in the U.S.
Nintendo's new game console the Wii U will go on sale in the U.S. Sunday as the company attempts to regain ground from Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's Playstation 3.
Nintendo said Thursday pre-order sales of its new Wii U console are strong and the game is likely to have shortages this holiday season after its launch.
Linus Torvalds released Linux 3.1 Monday and the new feature list is long and wide. Linux 3.1 includes a new iSCSI implementation and support for OpenRISC, Near-Field Communication chips, and -- get this -- Wii controllers.
Nintendo will slash the price of its 3DS handheld gaming device in Japan from mid August.
Japan's console and portable gaming market sank 16 per cent in the first six months of the year as new software failed to make a splash and sales of hardware fell, according to data released on Thursday.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Made In America Book review
I couldnt help but write a review that counters some other reviews Ive heard. Ive read a number of bad reviews for this book, but I wish to address something which I feel people dont realize.
For the rest of my review follow the link below.
to read the review that I am specifically refering to....in the above sentance...you look at the other review on MMAHitPit...It might make you angry though...so dont say I didnt warn you
You know, I know Matt's not perfect but I got alot respect for him. He has been able to take his success and use it for God's glory and that's awesome.
What I like about the book is exactly what a lot of other people dont. I find it ironic that some people would use his book to show how he is hypercritical about Faith...without obviously reading the bit about the Conversion...its as if they assume that Hughes was born with it...thus any antics in the first part of the book are for shame.
But thats not what its about...Matt Hughes books shows exactly why he needed the Lord in the first eleven Chapters...one thing I forgot to add was the symbolism of water and how its used in the book.
The first time we see it someone ends up killed, and Hughes nearly dies aswell. The water is here seen as a dangerous threshold, something that once crossed cant be reversed. It brings home the reality of what Water can do to a Human...years later it is a painting involving what? water...and people drowning in it
You could look at Hughes whole life and say it was expressed in those few moments under the water when he nearly died as a young man. It starts off so innocent. Just like the life of a Heathen, there is nothing serious, no harm in a little fun here and there. The only power you have is you, and you have ultimate power. Even in the face of danger
and then suddenly you realize that you arent the centre of the universe and you cant save yourself. There are other forces stronger then you and you end up in trouble. What was fun and seemed pleasent now appears malicious and like deciet
at some point you realize you are in to deep, and suddenly there is more to lose then you thought you had to begin with. Knowing you are in shyte and you were wrong isnt enough to save you. You need outside help.
in the drama of his youth, out of nowhere Hughes had an idea that saved him. What he actually recieved is whats liturgically known as Revelation...something, the answer to his difficulties was disclosed, revealed to him in exactly the same way that he saw that painting and realized he was in the water again...this time on a more grande scale.
Shall I tell you something even more outstanding then that. What do you suppose Water symbolizes Liturgically?
Re-birth. Its the symbol of Baptism. To be saved, to end ones old life and to rise up out of the water as something pure and new.
I should have put that into the book review but it would have been wasted on the haters anyway infact I will add an ammendment I think, one extra paragraph wouldnt hurt. But I'll wait til I have confirmation on the completeion of this upload...see He hasnt told me its up yet...and he's not quite finished like turning all the quotes into italics yet...sooo I think I'm not supposed to know its on the website yet LOL
so when he sends me the link...I'll ask him to add in a little paragraph, which will be a refined paragraph on the above. I should really stop thinking about it now, Or I'll see something else and before you know it I'll bewriting a bloody psycho-symbolic compendium...and he wont thank me for that hahahahahahaha

That was wonderful! You really hit the nail on the head with your review of Matt's book. I've seen some of the other reviews that bashed the book for it's contents (e.g., twisting Matt's words to make him seem a hypocrite, etc...). But, to me, those people weren't interested in Matt's words as far as learning about the man from his start in life to the road he's traveled to get to where he is today; but, rather, they were more interested in taking bits and pieces of what he said and turning it into something ugly to use against him.
I just referenced Matt's book in my comment to him on his blog page regarding today's blog. Basically, I said that it was his honesty, how open he was/is that is one of the things I like and respect so much about him. I think he is a man who says what he means and means what he says. I told him he is what I like to call "true blue".
His book made me laugh when he shared the antics Mark and he got up too as toddlers to young men (I mean come on--throwing pig testicles, at their now long-time friend, Fiore!). It made me sad when he talked of the not-so-good times at home and when he lost his friends. And then, special to my heart, is his relationship with Mark (I'm a twin too, 'nuff said). It was just refreshing and surprising to see someone be so honest and open (even when it might not make him look good).
Like you said, if people are looking for more of a MMA book, this might not be their cup of tea. But, if they want to read about the man, Matt Hughes, who also happens to be the "most dominant champion" in UFC history to date, then this is a book they should read.
Thank you, Dave. Keep up the good work!
thanks Bonnie. I did my best
As to you doing your "best", you most certainly did!
Dude I feel so bad! Out of all the books I always read and buy I have totally for got about this one!! Yipes!! Im gonna get me one and read it for myself!

Topic: Nested Forms, AJAX and Rails 3
I'm moving an app from Rails 2.3 to Rails 3.
I have a campaign that has many filters.
The filters have many different types, so they are STI.
I have a form for creating / updating the campaign that has the the filters as nested attributes, which works fine in 2.3. You pick which type of filter to add, click a button and it puts the new attributes in the form.
The code, in a .js.erb file, looks like this:
<% p = '' %>
<% fields_for @object do |f| %>
<% f.fields_for :filters, @filter, :child_index => params[:index].to_i do |fields| %>
<% p = render(:partial => "email@example.com_s.underscore}", :locals => { :filter_form => fields }) %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
$('<%= params[:target] %>').append('<%= escape_javascript p %>');
@object is the campaign and @filter is a new (unsaved) filter of the appropriate type.
This also works in Rails 3, but I get deprecation warnings for line 3, since the f.fields_for should now be using <%=.
What's the proper way to refactor this?

Trend Alert: Tropical Leaves
"I often say this apartment is like a theater, where the objects are our actors and we're the directors," says Sylvie de Chirée, editorial director of ELLE DECORATION France. "We dream up new scenarios and have fun moving them around." One evening at midnight, she and her husband, furniture dealer Philippe Rapin, decided that a large crystal chandelier didn't look right in the small salon off the main sitting room. Other couples would have dealt with it the next day. Not them. In the early hours, they dismantled the light fixture and moved it into the master bedroom, where it hangs today.
Located on the Right Bank, close to the Seine, the apartment is housed in a typical Parisian building from 1910. It was initially inhabited by one of the building's architects, Paul Marozeau, who earmarked the 2,700-square-foot unit for himself and his family. De Chirée had the chance to meet his daughter, who said she had "vague memories of being very young and seeing the wall decoration in the small salon being painted."
Rapin and De Chirée at home.
Those artful walls are not the only element that has remained intact. The master bath still flaunts its original black-and-white marble mosaics, and the living room retains the elegant ornamental columns and wall paneling installed in the 1950s by the legendary French decorating firm Maison Jansen.
In a sitting room of the Paris apartment that ELLE DECORATION France editor Sylvie de Chirée shares with her husband, furniture dealer Philippe Rapin, a circa-1970 Marc Cavell mobile hangs above a 1968 sofa by Archizoom; the 1930 floor lamp at left is attributed to Jules Leleu, the other is by Pietro Chiesa for FontanaArte, the cabinet doors were painted by José Maria Sert, the painting is by Gérard Drouillet, and the 19th-century rug came from a French monastery; the marble columns and painted walls are original.

Way back in 1984, my Dad took me and my elder brother to see Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom. I didn't really know what to expect - at the time, I hadn't seen the first Indy film - but Jones' blend of all-action heroism and laconic wit quickly won me over.
Several things about that trip to the cinema stick in my mind. I distinctly remember not being able to take my eyes off the movie's breathless 20-minute opening sequence and, later on, the look of disappointment on my Dad's face when I asked him to take me to the toilet right in the middle of the white-knuckle mine cart scene. One of the things that struck me most, though, was John Williams' stirring score.
I wouldn't nominate the Indy theme as the greatest in film – I'll get to my favourites shortly – but, perhaps because of the memories it brings back, it still has the power to set my pulse racing. Just hearing it playing over the trailer for the soon-to-be-released Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was enough to convince me that the new movie will be worth watching.
Others, though, are less convinced of Williams' talents – a discussion in the MusicRadar office led to him being described as both "The Status Quo of soundtracking" and "the most overrated film composer ever".
It is true that some of his scores sound similar – I discovered this when I was a child, when I'd start off singing the Star Wars theme and inadvertently switch to the main riff from Superman – but I'd still wager that you can know more of his stuff than anyone else's. Oh, and I'd also argue that nothing says 'impending shark attack' quite as well as Williams' main Jaws motif.
If you're looking for a truly great film composer, though, I wouldn't hesitate to nominate Ennio Morricone. His score for Once Upon A Time In America is easily the most touching I've ever heard – I even chose parts of it to be played at my wedding reception – and his work on Brian De Palma's film version of The Untouchables turned a good film into a great one. I'd put both of these on my list of favourites; in fact, Morricone has written so many great scores that he almost deserves a list of his own.
Going back a bit, I'd also suggest that Elmer Bernstein's score for The Magnificent Seven has achieved greatness (try singing the main theme with a mate, with one of you taking the rhythmic 'bass' part and the other covering the melody) and surely everyone reading this can hum a passable version of his theme from The Great Escape.
Other 'Best Score' nominations from the MusicRadar team include John Barry's Midnight Cowboy (no one suggested his James Bond soundtracks, incidentally) and there were a couple of votes for Bernard Hermann's Taxi Driver. Philip Glass's name was mentioned twice, too – for his work on Koyaanisqatsi and The Hours – and everyone – Slash included – seems to love Nino Rota's score for The Godfather.
If you're looking for rock musicians who've written rather than butchered great scores, you could do worse than seek out Jonny Greenwood's There Will Be Blood and Mark Knopfler's Local Hero. Electronic musicians who've credibly written for film include Vangelis (Blade Runner), John Carpenter (Assault on Precinct 13) and Air (The Virgin Suicides).
Sadly, though, synthesized scores don't always work – in fact, my nomination for 'worst score ever' may have to go to Harold Faltermeyer's Beverley Hills Cop. The soundtrack album and lead single Axel F may have done swift business, but the score itself (which, thankfully, was never available to buy) has dated horribly. Faltermeyer also deserves to be exposed as the writer of the offensively bombastic Top Gun Anthem.
Let's not focus on the dross, though – tell us what you think is the greatest ever film score. Keep in mind that we're not talking about soundtrack albums here, so no Saturday Night Fever or Reservoir Dogs. We'll save those for another time…

Large cap biotechs stormed back
after a weak 2Q12 to post a 7% gain for a third quarter in which every market
cap segment finished in the black, albeit just barely for the micro-caps. For
the second successive quarter the smallest names brought up the rear, though
the group's 0.1% gain in 3Q12 compares favorably with the 15% slide in 2Q12.
For the year, the $5
billion-plus tier has outpaced the smaller segments, thus far posting a 26%
gain. Micro-caps are up 5%, the smallest gain.

Share a Reflection
I enjoyed hearing the story quite a bit. Occasionally I was a little surprised that some of the holidays mentioned were deemed obscure. Any children's book of Jewish Holidays published in the US in the past 70 years would have as much info if not more as given in the talk. And the Sefer Minhagim woodcuts often relate to local folkways and customs more than to general customs - (eating apples with honey is widespread on rosh hashanah, haroset differs from place to place but is basically the same- fruit nuts spices drawn from the Song of Songs among other places). sefer minhagim woodcuts will show a man looking at his shadow (headless) shadow for Hoshana Rabba - the seventh day of Sukkot where the Ashkenazi superstition/folkway teaches thatif one sees his or or shadow headless on that day, it means that one will day in the coming year (last day for repentnence in the "Book of life" scenario whose highlight is Yom Kippur).
It was interesting to hear the discusssin of the luni-solar Jewish calendar. It should be noted that the leap month occurs in the spring, and so Hanukkah always begins 60 or 61 days after the end of Sukkot = Simchat Torah where the reading of the Torah begins again.Since Hanukkah is eight days long, occasionally the first and last days will coincide with Shabbat. BUT - the portions read on the Sabbaths of Hanukkah are NEVER the story of Isaac. USUALLY, the reading for the Sabbath of Hanukkah is MIKETZ, in Genesis and this section begins with Joseph in prison in Egypt and Pharaoh is dreaming about the seven cows. Rarely (in 2000, 2020) the reading will be the previous portion, VAYESHEV, which starts with Joseph's story and his recounting the dream of the sun,moon and 11 stars, and the dream of the sheaves of grain bowing to him. And when Hanukkah covers two Sabbaths, Vayeshev is the first sabbath, and Miketz is the second.
As for the idea of prayer replacing sacrifices, this is a Rabbinic dictum in as orthodox a circle as you can find and goes back before the destruction of the Second Temple (an aside, the First Temple was not traditionally destroyed on the Ninth of Av but on the Seventh. The destruction of the Second was on the Ninth and so the tradition combined the commemoration - [2 Kings 25:8 for the first, but the text says it took three days aloowing the combination]). There are verses in Hosea and Isaiah which are the basis for the idea that prayer is a valid substitute for sacrifices (not only animal but grain/flour as well) - Hosea 14:2, and we will fulfill/pay the BULLS of our lips (Vulgate has calves, Hebrew has bulls). this is taken as an equivalency. As well, Isaiah, 56:7 - "Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of PRAYER: their BURNT OFFERINGS and their SACRIFICES shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of PRAYER for all people." (AV)
The idea of animal and grain sacrifices makes sense when wealth is pastoral and agricultural - just look at our word "PECUNIARY" for an example. And for me personally, the image of the sacrifices can be helpful as a meditative focus. After all, in our country on thanksgiving we slaughter millions of birds - two sheep a day for an entire nation isn't much, esp as many of the sacrifices were the sole source of meat for the landless priestly class.
The sentiment and value we give to animal life doesn't make us more ethical in our dealings with other human beings - after all many cultures highly esteem vegetarianism and have also engendered massacres and oppresion of members of their own societies and societies which they've invaded. And the Jewish tradition teaches that the Egyptians in Pharaonic Egypt also held some animals to be totemic or sacred and looked down on herding peoples, such as the Israelites. Ibn Ezra, the 11th c commentator likens them to "Great India" where he had been told kine were esteemed. See - Genesis 43:32 (most commentaries), Exodus 8:25-27. The Egyptians viewed eating with the Hebrews (who were pastoral and thus slaughtered rams and bulls) as abominable, much like traditional Japaense with those who worked in leather, the E-Ta or Buraku-min.
In any case, it was a wonderful show and gave me much to think about. Thanks very much to Krista and all her guests.
There have been two Jewish liturgical books whose design -- beyond their contents -- I have found to be very moving, The Harvard Hillel Sabbath Songbook and the new Mahzor Lev Shalem. It never occurred to me that they were designed by the same person, nor that I would "meet" this person. But now that I have, I understand why I would be touched by his work.
Thank you for putting
Thank you for putting together these presentations. The presentations are very helpful in my understanding the Jewish culture.
That's funny! I was always
That's funny! I was always the same way and didn't undesrtand why my sister's best friend got 7 days of gifts! My mom always tried to tell us that if you added up all of her gifts and our gifts it would be the same and that she wasn't at an advantage. And then of course she would go into an explanation of Christmas not being about gifts...but at that age I didn't really undesrtand. We celebrate with a big family party Christmas Eve and then Christmas morning with just our immediate family. We used to go have a big lunch on Christmas afternoon but that has stopped in the last few years.

Waterwolf; are you asking me to become a member of the Clinch River Chapter?
I'm not certain that shooting a fish poacher is a good idea even if he resists "citizen's arrest" while I wait all day for some TWRA dude to show up on a weekend.
Perhaps WE all ought to get together and re-organize/ revitalize some efforts for the Clinch?

Talk like that will get your carry permit pulled if you have one (not that I'm gonna turn you in).
Your a disgrace to responsible gun owners/concealed carry people, and statements like that just feed each side of the issue, and does nothing helpful.
Then again flaming an issue and offering nothing contributable may just be a theme with you, but hopefully I'm wrong about that.

I am a member of the Little River Chapter.
Historically speaking, it has been my observance that you are quite the curmudgeon when it comes to points of opinion and discussion. Nothing at all against you or what you have done both on and for your home waters...for that you get my fullest support.
I agree that it is a much larger issue than just hugging up to the TU tree and feeling good because we picked up some trash, released our fish, and taught some kid how to cast a fly rod. This issue is perhaps more about the management of the people on the river more than the fish in the river. TWRA should without question be much more proactive on our waters. I don't think, with the one trip on the Nanatahala I have ever been "checked". Would not bother me at all to have my trip briefly interupted by an officer each time I went out.
Confrontation in the case of the river, is a defense mechanism of the ignorant. The taking of a licence plate number is admirable, but how many TWRA officers are going to knock on someones door because they kept two trout or so that were not legal? It simply must be an on stream encounter that is consistent, swift, and sure.
I entered into this discussion because I feel very strongly about bringing the Clinch back to its better days. I learned to fly fish on the Clinch, and still have friends who fish it more out of dedication and convenience than overall quality. It was also my fear that it would turn from an honest discussion to a heated argument and it seems that unless Paula so graciously intervenes again, it may turn that way again.
I think Shawn has brought up an very important issue, but I also think to myself, how many folks who read this are reading it just because "Waterwolf" is back on his sacred cow tipping soapbox again.
Intellect, organization, cooperation, and civility may not always work in war, or life for that matter, but when it comes to supporting the health of a pastime it is of utmost importance.
Ducky; I was joking! Lighten up. Chances are if someone ain't shooting at me I'm not gonna shoot at them; never been to jail and don't plan on it.
Spose the wolf doesn't want me as a Clinch member.
I don't know where TWRA guys spend their time; perhaps at boat landings on the lakes. I have seen them many times around the Douglas landing near the dam and at Gator Point Marina when there was live music (about 4 of them) and fireworks.
Now speaking of weapons; what if the guys with illegal fish didn't like the tone of your voice or your attitude or your writing down their plate or taking their picture and took out a pistol then fired at you claiming "self-defense"? I do not have bullet proof waders or vest.... and any idiot (legal or not) can easily stick a Keltec 9 into his wading vest or beat you senseless with a tire iron.
I could care less whether you or anyone else chooses to confront or give TWRA a call when you see poaching, it is a personal choice and an ethical decision which must be made by the individual.
However, coming here and whining or even participating in a conservation discussion when the easiest and most controllable aspect of conservation is ignored, makes even having this discussion a waste of time.
That is the point of the last few posts. I am not getting into the whole TU thing again, to each their own. But it is hard to claim to be concerned with the river when blatant law breaking is left unchallenged and unreported.
You can attack me if you feel froggy, but rest assured neither I nor anyone I know, which is a bunch, would let slide what you all did Saturday without a call to TWRA. You may call it a soap box or whatever, I believe it is right to stand up for the fishery and the law, and the future of the resource.
My heavens is all that needs to be said about the last paragraph.
I guess some people just don't understand that helping out TWRA with a simple 2 minute phone call is the right thing to do, and the chances of it escalating to a shootout or beating with a tire iron are right around zero.
Again, it is impossible to have a discussion about river conservation when the easiest and most controllabe aspect isn't stood up for when it occurs. Impossible.
I've hunted and fished around here for over 40 years and I hate poachers with a passion -- but I wouldn't a bit more confront some idiot over a bunch of fish a bit more than the man in the moon! If I could get a tag number or something, then sure, I'd do that, but I would never recommend physically confronting anybody over a stupid fish.
With no enforcement, these yahoos will use the rivers as their own personal grocery store. That's just a fact. So until TWRA gets serious about it - or views it as a problem - then it's going to be what it is and no vigilante is going to change a thing.
How can TWRA know if we keep our mouths shut?
Over the past 3 years that I have been flyfishing on the Clinch, which is nothing compared to the majority of the forum , when I have addressed the slot issue with a violator, I have mainly just asked them if they were aware of the slot limitations and all but a couple were unaware . I also let them know the reasons for the restriction and the fines that go along with it . I also let them know about cleaning the fish at the river and the violation of cutting off the head and/or the tail. I do it in an unaggressive attitude and try to not sound like a know it all, but that I am trying to save them from being fined. Like I said earlier, I have only been "rebuked" twice and did not feel endangered at the time. I hope this method makes sense in trying to do what is right, and if anyone has a better way or added ideas, I'm open.
Excellent approach Mike! Kudos and great job being an fishing ambassador! I do think it is great to voice our opinions and to be heard. However; we must remember to keep our emotions in check. Emotions are what keep our court systems backed up. I do agree with Jim on contacting TWRA. They might not be able to get up and check the violation right away. But, the notices let them know of the activity and give them valid information on when and where to check in the future.
BTW; there is a man and woman the fish above Llewallyn Island most weekends and absolutely slay slot fish. I have found heads of large fish all over the bank from where they leave them. I hope they get checked the next time they walk back to their car with their cleaned fish.

Marvell, a leading developer of various chips based on ARM architecture, on Monday unveiled its new system-on-chip (SoC) product – called Armada XP (extreme performance) – that features four ARM cores and is aimed at "enterprise-class cloud computing applications". The Armada XP is the first actual ARM-based solution that is designed for servers.
The Armada XP is based on four Marvell-designed ARM v7 MP cores operating at 1.60GHz. The SoC integrates 2MB of L2 cache (hardware cache coherency is supported, which may mean that symmetric multi-processing capability can also be available) and sports single-channel DDR3 memory controller with support for ECC at 800MHz clock rate. In addition, the Armada XP features quad x4 PCI Express interfaces, multiple USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet ports, Serial ATA ports, security engine and other I/O peripherals to make system designs simple and economical. Just like other ARM-based SoCs from Marvell, it features advanced power management technologies. According to the developer, the Armada XP can achieve 16 600DMIPS performance at less than 10W.
"Marvell's introduction of a powerful solution for enterprise-class cloud computing applications is a very important milestone in the mobile Internet revolution – cloud computing mobile servers like those powered by the Armada XP are the key link in what I envision to be a seamless, unified ecosystem of mobile connected devices, information appliances and smart 'furnishings'," said Weili Dai, co-founder of Marvell.
Armada XP is the fastest ARM processor available on the market today for enterprise class applications. Nonetheless, the prospects of ARM-based servers are not exactly clear, given the fact that the chips do not support 64-bit capability and, at least now, cannot be installed in pairs. But the most important problem is that there is no software for servers that is compatible with ARM architecture.
Marvell offers complete development platforms for the Armada XP enabling customers to start system development without waiting for hardware. Development platforms are available including software drivers and board support package.
Marvell's Armada XP will be on display at the ARM technology conference on November 9-11, 2010. The Armada XP is currently sampling to customers.

Post subject: Mercedes driver Michael Schumacher says...
From the BBC:
Mercedes driver Michael Schumacher says he is "absolutely confident" he will be able to return to competitiveness despite his poor start to the season.
The seven-time champion, back in F1 after a three-year retirement, insisted he was not discouraged by his inability to match team-mate Nico Rosberg so far.
"I didn't expect to come here and blast everyone away," Schumacher said ahead of this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix.
"It's a process - I'm totally confident it's going in the right direction."
Schumacher arrives in Spain on the back of the worst showing of his comeback.
While many are wondering why one of the greatest racing drivers of all time is struggling on his comeback, most have so far largely been prepared to accept the explanations provided. But for how much longer?
After edging closer to Rosberg's pace over the first three races, Schumacher took a step backwards at the last grand prix in China.
He qualified more than 0.7 seconds slower than Rosberg and finished 10th, 50 seconds behind his team-mate, who was third.
But Schumacher believes that performance was an anomaly.
"In China certainly my performance wasn't good," he said, "and I think it stuck out there in particular whereas other races were on the right trend and I'm very optimistic that it will go in the right direction.
"I'm pretty quiet and relaxed about what is going on. I know the car does not perfectly suit me right now but it's a process and the process is going fine.
"It's like stock markets, they have a trend upwards, and then sometimes they have a reset. China was my reset and we'll see where it goes from there."
Schumacher's performance in Shanghai raised questions in some quarters about whether he was wise to return to F1 after such a long absence.
But he said he had no regrets about his decision.
"The main point is not to have a nice story in the media, or be criticised," he said.
Michael Schumacher
Schumacher frustrated after difficult race (UK users only)
"I came back because I'm enjoying it. Things will improve. It's just the pure joy I'm looking for.
"Naturally, the joy is higher if you win races, and in China I was very disappointed and angry at myself. But things will be different."
Schumacher has so far struggled to get the best from a car that does not suit his driving style, but Mercedes have introduced an upgrade for this weekend's race that should help him.
The 41-year-old prefers a car that changes direction quickly, but so far this year the Mercedes has suffered from understeer - when the driver struggles to get the front of the car to turn in.
Although the changes to the Mercedes - which include a longer wheelbase and improved aerodynamics - should make the car more to his liking, Schumacher was reluctant to say that they would automatically solve all his problems.
"Some like to see it as: now I have the car, and now I have to perform, and if not, then blah, blah, blah. I am less thinking this way," he said.
"It's going to be the first time working [with the car] this way, and only afterwards [will] we understand what is the positive and negative about it. I just feel very positive that we will follow the trend we saw in Malaysia and not in China."
Nico Rosberg
Team-mate Nico Rosberg has had a better season so far than Schumacher
Rosberg said he, too had been struggling with the Mercedes's inherent characteristics, adding: "All the changes are fundamental changes that will make the car go faster regardless of who drives it."
Mercedes are hopeful that the upgrade will enable them to close the gap on their rivals at the front - the team have so far been behind Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren on outright pace.
But all the teams have arrived in Spain with significant modifications to their cars and Schumacher said it remained to be seen where that would leave them.
"We obviously have a new update for the car that we feel quite good about," he said.
"Naturally, we should improve compared to the other teams if they stay where they are but we don't expect that so it will be interesting to see how much the other teams have been able to upgrade their car compared to ours."
"kart racing since 1958, was and still the best bank for the buck in motorsports"

These guys are racers: they get bored away from the track.
One NASCAR driver I knew from Hueytown (can't think of his name-will come to me-getting old!) Hurt his leg, retired, became a commentator for NASCAR races: could not resist, went back, rolled a car at Daytona, survived, then raced again and was killed: left a wife and 2 teenage kids, he had it made as a commentator, at the track, still hanging out, getting well paid, but could not resist being back in the game actually racing.
I think that about Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson: young, young family, lots of dollars, make a great commentator/big company spokesman: but they are driven to race. Guys just can't quit, even when past their prime. c
"kart racing since 1958, was and still the best bank for the buck in motorsports"

Duke goes down to FSU, and the Buckeyes squeak by Michigan.
So Ohio State will be No. 1....until they aren't anymore.
When you think about it, the polls mean so little at this point. The goal now becomes playing well enough to be seen as one of the top four teams at the end, to assure a 1-seed. Everything else is chatter.

Skip to comments.Vanity - Obama to unleash the "DocStapo" on the American public.
Posted on 01/16/2013 11:35:03 AM PST by GraceG
With Obama wanting to recruit the Doctors of this country to his his Brownshirt work for him keeping tabs on his political enemies are we seeing a new term in constantly growing "Dictator-tinary" that is Obamunism.
Behold the "Doc-Stapo" you friendly family doctor who has been recruited to become an agent of the government who will now become a spy working against your second amendment rights.
Now whenever you enter the Doctor's office with the flu or cold or just a regular checkup you will have channel the behavior patterns of an East German Citizen during the cold war who has been summoned to the Commissar's office on suspicion of being a counter revolutionary.
Maybe your mechanic will report you if you have a gun rack in your pickup or a under seat holster....
There have already been people who have had service technicians go into their home to repair things and freak out when they see a gun case somewhere....
So there seems to be a willing pool of people ready to turn you in for your weapons or perceived "arsenal" that is your 2nd Amendment Birthright.
First thing to do when sitting down with your doctor is ask him if he has any guns. LOL
I may have to do blog on this at some point.
But anyway here's the drill:
1. Always say "no".
2. Tell your kids if the doctor asks them if mommy or daddy has guns that he/she ALWAYS says "no".
3. If you're kid has ADHD or something similar do not get it diagnosed. Treat it naturally. The diagnosis of mental disorders is HUGE and widely open. If your kids have any mental disorders or are austistic they're coming after your firearms.
4. Psychologists and psychiatrists are considered doctors. Read that order again.
I'm sure people can add to these suggestions.
Skip to 3:10 to learn about how the Kids were suppose to rat out their parents to the Gestapo.
Step 1: meet with your lawyer and set up a gun trust (either title 1 or title 2 NFA)
2: put all of your firearms on a schedule A or B within the trust.
3: When doc or any agent of the state ask if you own guns, legally and ethically you can say, "My wife and I do not personally own firearms". ( because the property is a separate trust asset)
As a practical matter this "stunt" will provide the feds little info. Doctors won't ask and patients won't tell.
What's interesting to me is the audacity of obama bring this idea up. Next up NEA will get teachers to ask children about guns.
That is a bit more topical than even the Hitler Youth.
Let us not forget the Lives of Others.
We can see that malpractice suits of all kinds will go way up, and doctors will become generally less liked.
Or the darned plumber who accidentally drops his stilson wrench and breaks your nice, effective 4 gallon toilet tank....then installs one of those low-flow, flush thrice, plunge twice monstrosities!
You mentioned brownshirts- the Holocaust was started by doctors- an MD signature on a piece of paper was the beginnings of "euthanizing" crippled children, developmentally challenged children, children with very low IQ.
About 100,000 over two years. It grew from there.
I SERIOUSLY doubt he is going to take the time (and money from his own pocket) to have a long heart to heart with every patient about guns and gun safety.
Interesting. I found this link.
Have your kid show up with a NRA t-shirt & cap.
"member of the NRA Family"
Life unworthy of Life.
The Nazi's got the idea from American Progressives in the early part of the Century.
When the world asked for justification on the Nazi eugenics programs. They cited the Buck v. Bell case in the U.S.
Soon to be government doctors to decide who is crazy.
That is all.
Doctors will overreact. They are deathly afraid of being sued or prosecuted. If the patient says "this flu is too much. I can't stand it any more" and casually remarks that he was target shooting last Sunday the doc WILL report him as having a gun and mentally unstable.
Doctors have become uncommunicative. They prescribe for everything. They practice self-protection, not medicine. They are afraid of lawsuits, and no longer look out for the patient's good. They're not going to dispute this directive.
Yeah, I remember reading about this. they setup a whole PR campaign in Germany about this poor disabled man they euthanized and spun it like it was so great for the German people, once the door was opened there was no closing it until a LOT of blood was shed...
You hit the nail dead on the head. THAT is exactly what this is ALL about.
My Dr is a pretty attractive young woman. She's had the gun question on her sign-in forms for years. My first time in the office I wrote "none of your damn business"! I saw her face when she read it and she smiled a little.
Also every time I go there she makes me strip down! I went in for a sore throat once and she got me naked right away. Then she left the room for some reason and every single women in the office took turns coming in and out of my room while I was standing there nude! I'm a FREEPER, that kinda thing happens. :P
And they have NOT changed.
They practice today under different names and agendas, like here in Belgium.
The Left had the BIGGEST crush on Hitler and the Nazi's in the 30's and secretly still do today.
Besides the welfare state is expensive!
Which is why they must......remove....the Idle, the unfit, the unwanted, the unworthy, the very young and the very old.
And the Hitler analogies get larger and larger. I know that is a taboo subject but hell, truth is truth.
My doctor has more guns than me. This whole thing is just stupid.
I just had to because you are KC_Lion!
You left out this part:
"Dear Penthouse, I never thought this would happen to me...." :=)
Didn't the Obamacare bill contain an item slipped in by the NRA that prohibited physicians from collecting information about patient's guns??
One of the executive orders clarifies that that is NOT the case!

Years ago, former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner was given a shot at chasing his dreams. Now, the football legend is paying it forward with his new reality show, �The Moment.�
Name: Kurt Warner Claim to fame: It�s an improbable rags-to-riches tale that has become immortalized in NFL lore: Before skyrocketing to stardom in the National Football League, Kurt Warner was stocking shelves at a grocery store for $5.50 an hour following a brief but unsuccessful stint with the Green Bay Packers. A mere 18 months later, he emerged from obscurity to lead the St. Louis Rams to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV, winning the title of Super Bowl Most Valuable Player and capturing the hearts and imaginations of football fans across the nation. Kurt�s story is one of tremendous faith, perseverance and determination. Throughout his illustrious 12-year football career, he has continually defied the odds, breaking numerous NFL records along the way. From 1999 to 2001, in what became known as �The Greatest Show on Turf,� Kurt famously led the Rams to two additional playoff appearances�including another Super Bowl�and received Pro Bowl honors for three consecutive years (1999-2001). He was also one of a select handful of NFL players to be recognized with two prestigious NFL MVP awards, receiving his second after the 2001 season. In 2008, he led the Arizona Cardinals to Super Bowl XLIII, and owns the three highest single-game passing yardage totals in Super Bowl history. Since retiring from the NFL in 2009, Kurt has remained an active presence in the sports world, bringing his expert football knowledge to the table as an analyst for the NFL Network. With his charismatic nature, the veteran quarterback has also emerged as a natural TV personality, appearing on �Dancing with the Stars� in 2010. This spring, Kurt is back on TV screens, but this time with a mission�of helping others achieve their wildest dreams. On Kurt�s inspiring new reality show, �The Moment,� which premieres on Thursday, April 11th at 10/9c on USA Network, everyday individuals are given the opportunity to pursue their dream career. Kurt lives in Arizona with his wife, Brenda, and their seven children. Favorite workout: �Basketball! I love the sport. It is great exercise and helps feed my competitive drive.� Favorite healthy meal: �I make a breakfast meal of eggs and quinoa,� Kurt says. Health philosophy: Be consistent. �It is easier to stay in shape than get in shape,� Kurt explains. Biggest inspiration: �My kids,� Kurt says. �I want to be a great role model for them by living a healthy and fit lifestyle.� Motivational quote: �It�s taken from a Bible verse, Colossians 3:23��Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,�� Kurt says. �I take this to mean, �If you�re going to do something, give it your all.� Commit to a life of excellence. So, if I�m going to do something, whether it�s my career or my workout or my marriage, I�m going to give it my best.� Five Minutes with Kurt Warner Spry: Your rise to NFL stardom is legendary�you went from stocking grocery shelves to being named Super Bowl MVP in just 18 months. Tell us a little bit more about this incredible journey. Kurt: It was a bit of a crazy journey, for sure. From the time I was eight or nine years old, I dreamt of growing up to play in the NFL. Like anybody with a dream to play professional sports, I worked hard at it. Things went well throughout high school, and I received a scholarship to play football at a small school in Iowa. Well, I ended up sitting on a bench for four years until I was finally given the chance to play my senior year�I blew everyone away. After college, I signed with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent but was cut after four weeks at the training camp. Even then, however, I refused to lose sight of my dream. I got a job in a grocery store to make money, but on the side I continued to train and work out in the hopes of getting another shot. Finally, I was given the chance to play with St. Louis Rams and went on to win the Super Bowl two years later. And, as they say, the rest is history! Spry: On your new USA Reality show �The Moment,� you give everyday individuals the job opportunity of a lifetime. Why did you decide to get involved with the show? Kurt: When I retired, my mission moving forward was to stay busy and continue to do things I was passionate about. My wife, Brenda, and I had a goal of trying to impact people, which is why we started our foundation, First Things First. The reason I decided to get involved with �The Moment� is because it really hit home for me. I wanted to help people in a similar way that I had been helped, all those years ago. The reason I�m at where I am today is because someone took a chance on me and gave me a second shot at achieving my dream. So, in a way, working with the show allowed me to come full circle and give other people the opportunity of a lifetime. What I like most about the show is that we�re not simply handing anything out�we�re giving individuals an opportunity. That�s how life is--you�re continually presented with different opportunities along the way and it�s what you do with those opportunities that matters. So yes, we open up the door for people, but it�s completely up to the individual what happens from there. They have to be willing to seize that opportunity and work hard for it. We don�t give out free rides because there aren�t free rides in life. You have to work hard for everything. Spry: What would you say is the most inspiring part about your work with �The Moment?� Do any individual stories come to mind? Kurt: They were all different. That�s the great thing. I could relate to so many different aspects of what these people were dealing with�those moments of frustration and wanting to quit. Those moments of thinking you�re not good enough or too old. And, on the flip side, those breakthrough moments, the moments when you start to believe in yourself and everything sort of just clicks. So, for me, witnessing the breakthrough moments was the most exciting part of the show. Seeing individuals chase their dreams, seeing their passions come to life. That�s what life is all about�pursuing your passion and making it your life. I think a lot of people are prevented from fulfilling their dreams because they find excuses for why they can�t do something. When people watch the show, I don�t want them to think, �Well, I, too, would chase my dream if Kurt Warner showed up and knocked on my door.� But the thing is, nobody knocked on my door�I did that for myself. I was passionate enough about my dream that I went out there, I knocked on doors and I pursued it. I had to work in a grocery store to make ends meet. But on the side I was working out and making training videos to send to teams. I hope that the show, in and of itself, knocks on people�s �doors.� I hope that it wakes people up to their dreams and passions. I firmly believe that happiness lies in being able to live out our passions. I want to inspire people to chase their dreams again, whatever that means. I want to encourage people to introduce their passions back into their everyday lives, even in small ways. Spry: You had a long and very illustrious football career. If you had to pick, what was the most memorable and inspiring moment of your football career? Man, that�s hard to say. I have so many. I guess I would say any moment when I knew that all of my hard work and determination and dreaming wasn�t in vain. I�m so proud that I kept the dream going for as long as I did. I faced a lot of setbacks along the way, a lot of frustration. Out of college, people said I couldn�t do it�that it was time to give up and find a real job. Even during my football career, there were many times when everybody kept telling me I couldn�t do something and I showed them wrong. I�ll never forget it: it was right after I was voted NFL Most Valuable Player, and I was driving in the car with my wife, Brenda. The windows were down, it was a beautiful day, and I thought to myself: �This is what it�s all about.� In that moment, all of my doubts were pushed aside and I felt a great sense of accomplishment. I knew I had made it. So, those were probably the most memorable parts of my football career�those moments when I proved everybody wrong, or more importantly, when I proved to myself that I could accomplish my wildest dreams. Spry: You and your wife, Brenda, have seven children! What advice do you have for busy parents out there who are looking to squeeze exercise into a hectic schedule? I truly believe that whatever your priorities are in your life, you have to commit to doing them. The key to being fit is making a commitment to staying in shape. Personally, I commit to going to the gym 5 or 6 days a week. Even if I don�t have a lot of time, I�ll squeeze in a 15 or 20-minute workout and just try to push as hard as I can. A lot of people have the misconception that they can�t work out unless they have an hour of time to devote to it. But that�s not true; it�s all about sneaking in a few minutes of exercise whenever you can. For example, if I know I�m going to have a busy day, I�ll get up an hour early and work out before the kids get up. I also try to make exercise a family affair. At night, we watch shows like The Biggest Loser as a family, and during commercials we all get up and do exercises�squats, push-ups, jumping jacks. I also try to implement activity into my everyday routine and pick up exercise at moments when I have some downtime. The other day, I was cooking steaks and I suddenly jumped up onto the railing and started doing tricep pushups off of it, and my soon looked up at me and said, �Dad, you�re weird.� But it�s all about utilizing those moments of idle time to get up and move your body. It�s the little things that count. Brought to you by: Spry Living

I think I have come to the right place since I know this website is operated from Canada and I have donated to it at least once. I am a 54 year old fan who has seen Paul over ten times in concert but have yet to hear Mull done live because I have always seen him in the States. Being of Scottish ancestry and having lived in Scotland, this song is huge to me. Guess I was one of the few Americans to buy it in 1977.
I have a ticket for the August 8 show but was looking back at some old issues of Beatlefan and noticed when he did the song in Australia in 1993, he only peformed it on the SECOND night in Sydney I started to think oh him and other artists who have saved little "treats" like Mull for final night crowds and thought..."What if I go all the way to Toronto and miss it because I came on the wrong night!" The August 9 show was added after I purchased my ticket for the 8th. If anyone in Toronto gets wind of which pipe band will acompany him and if it is for one or both nights, please let me know. I see on their website that the Peel Regional Police Pipe band that has played on Mull before in Toronto will be in Scotland that very week. If need be, I can change my travel plans and easily pick up a ticket for the 9th on the ebay. Thanks to all for your help, this means alot.
