How Many Flies Do You Lose In A Outing?
How many flies do you lose on the average during your outings to your favorite trout stream or river? Whether by lost from the trout that break your tippet or lost in trees, brush, etc.? Please provide any details that you wish.
Re: How Many Flies Do You Lose In A Outing?
well, if i'm wading i usually only loose one or two, but if not wading or fishing in a lake i might loose 5. My biggest qualm is not that they get stuck in a tree or on a rock or a fish breaks my line (i've not been that lucky yet) it's that they fall apart. I buy my flys from a reputable fly store in Nashville and it seems like they're always coming unwound. It's mostly the small nymphs I find that do this.
Re: How Many Flies Do You Lose In A Outing?
You might try to use some head cement where they whip finish the fly off. It might help the fly hold up longer.
Re: How Many Flies Do You Lose In A Outing?
ahh that would work wonders. Would my fly shop have that?
edit* i just read a article about not using head cement, and realized that it is usually the tail or the hackles or whatever else is sticking out that falls off or gets mangled. Would that cement help those parts? (and i also discovered it'd be in the fly tying area.. which i've not been in that part yet.. i'm a little intimidated)
Re: How Many Flies Do You Lose In A Outing?
First of all please don't feel intimidated when it comes to this forum. You will quickly find out that you may know more than you thought.
I'm not sure if the head cement would help the tail or not but I would think that it wouldn't hurt. Your fly shop may carry it so you might check with them first. If they don't check out The Full Creel Fly Shop on what they have to offer http://thefullcreel.com/index.php?cPath=29_162.
Hope this helps. If not Big Cliff ties a lot he may have a suggestion.
Re: How Many Flies Do You Lose In A Outing?
thanks :) sorry for hijacking your thread
Re: How Many Flies Do You Lose In A Outing?
one other thing that you might want to try and you probally have some laying around your house and don't realize it. try some fingernail hardner. check with your mom, girlfriend, or wife. a couple of fly tying videos i've seen are using this. i've started using it on my own flies.
gregorykicks might have to contact you the next time i'm down your way. planning a trip down to fayetville, tn. to visit a friend and look at a couple of horses. good luck and tightlines to all.
as far as the post goes. on a good day maybe one or two a bad day dang it time to go home and have a cold beer.
Re: How Many Flies Do You Lose In A Outing?
Freezy Man, put your vote in when you get a chance.
Re: How Many Flies Do You Lose In A Outing?
Re: How Many Flies Do You Lose In A Outing?
Freeze69 is right, as I was reading down the posts above his, I was about to suggest clear fingernail polish. I would recommend Sally Hansen's "Hard as Nails" if you're buying some new for this purpose.
Here's a trick to make it easier to use. When you pull it out of the bottle, you will find that the brush is cut off at a right angle to the stem. Use your hands or a paper towel to get most of the polish off of the brush, and then use a pair of scissors to cut it off at an angle. This will give you a point that will make it easier to precisely apply the polish to the tie off point of those flies.
I would also recommend using your hemostats to hold the fly by the bend of the hook while you are applying the polish, and then use them to stick the point of the hook into a piece of foam to allow the fly to dry before you put it in your box.

THE Wanted have branded Christina Aguilera a "total b****".
The boyband claim the 31-year-old singer was "scary" and refused to
talk to them when they met her backstage at US talent show The Voice.
Singer Tom Parker told Now FM: "She's a total b****! She might not be a
b**** in real life but to us she was a b****.
"She just sat there and didn't speak to us."
Bandmate Max George added: "She was a bit scary to be honest."
Siva Kaneswara said: "You know what, she was quite rude."
The boy band – completed by Nathan Sykes – claimed The Voice USA panelist even
shunned Justin Bieber when he attempted to embrace her.
Nathan said: "She might have been in a bad mood that day – didn't she
completely par Justin Bieber as well? He went in for a hug and she was like,
'Get away from me'."
Max kissed Jennifer Lopez following The Wanted's performance of Glad You Came
on American Idol earlier this month, and when comparing the On The Floor
superstar with Christina, he insisted the blonde singer is "nothing
He explained: "J-Lo is hot you know, Christina's nothing special."

At the present rate of deforestation in the United States, it won't be long before we never see a tree, period. At the rate we are going, the United States will be stripped completely bare of all its forests in 50 years.
If the hemp pulp paper process of 1916 were in use today, it could replace 40-70% of all pulp paper form trees, including corrugated boxes, computer printout paper and paper bags. Imagine the effect this conversion to hemp paper alone would have on near-extinct species and all forms of wild life, on old-growth forests that are fast disappearing, on the quality of our water, soil, and air, as well as on our planet's sensitive ecosystem!
Farming only 6% of continental US acreage with biomass crops would provide all of America's gas and oil energy needs, ending dependence upon fossil fuels. Hemp is the only biomass source available that is capable of making the US energy-independent. Ultimately, the world has no other rational environmental choice but to give up fossil fuels.
Ever wonder why tree paper is so cheap? It's because we are subsidizing the true costs of production by borrowing from our own future and that of our children: imagine a world without trees and you'll realize the full impact, significance, and costs of cheap paper from trees. Hemp, unlike trees, grows to maturity in 6-8 months. There is no need to cut down 100 year old trees to make paper! Not only can hemp provide us with top-quality archival paper that's beautiful & strong and leaves a light footprint on this fragile planet of ours, it can also single-handedly put a stop to Greenhouse Effect, soil erosion, dependence on fertilizers and toxic chemicals, blue baby syndrome, pollution of the air, water, and soil, and so much more!

The official Abkhaz government will be moved from Tbilisi, where it has operated in exile, to the Kodori Gorge, which borders the country's separatist region of Abkhazia, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili said July 27. Saakashvili added that Georgia wants a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Georgia and Abkhazia.
After more than four years of American training, via GTEP, perhaps the Georgian Army may soon be set loose on Abkhazia, the ancient Colchis where Jason sought the Golden Fleece and Joseph Stalin tended garden.
Saakashvili has been very, extra clear about one thing since he was elected: he wants to see Georgia unified. After first toppling the self-styled president/chief/mafia don named Aslan Abashidze (aka Babu) of a wannabe separatist region, Adjaria–which, of all the God forsaken places I visited in 2003, inspired at least one funny story–perhaps Saakashvili is poised to move on Abkhazia. He's spent the last three years threatening South Ossetia. But Abkhazia is a much richer prize. And would infuriate the Russians to boot.
This would make sense, as we are negotiating an airbase deal in Azerbaijan, and will supposedly place elements of NMD radar somewhere in the Caucasus. Having a clearly unified BTC corridor in the Caucasus from Batumi to Baku is in the oil security interests of the United States, if not necessarily that of the United States as a whole.
If Saakashvili can pull this off (and I think he might just be able to) he then may not have to use force against South Ossetia. A succesful demonstration of Georgian military effectiveness (I know, I know) against Abkhazia might well be enough. That the Russians aren't going to rescue them would be clear and that U.S. power in the region was in the ascendant would be obvious for all to see.
The real question is what Pootie-poot will do? It's long been my belief that the Russian position in the North Caucasus would unravel if Russia cannot remain the dominant player in the Caucasus. And I'm not sure Pootie-poot can afford another foreign policy reverse. He may be popular with the Russian people (it's really just the stability they like and the high oil and gas revenues) but the Russian foreign policy security establishment elite–including some members of the Siloviki are grumbling about the West's persistent encroachment.
Is an unstable Russia really worth estimated but clearly marginal gains from Trans-Caucasian and Trans-Caspian oil?

Citracal + D Tab X 60 assists in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis, in maintaining healthy bones, decreasing bone breakdown and stabilising bone mass. Citracal +D contains 250 mg of elemental calcium plus Vitamin D to assist in calcium absorption and is ideal for people who are not exposed to the sun.
Why should I choose Citracal?
Not all calcium supplements are the same. Calcium citrate is the type of calcium in Citracal, while the leading brand of calcium in pharmacy contains calcium carbonate. There are many reasons why you should choose Citracal to help fight osteoporosis.
- Citracal can be taken whenever you want.
- Calcium carbonate products need acidic conditions in the stomach to be dissolved and absorbed, so they should be taken with food. But you can take Citracal whenever you want with or without food and even at bedtime on an empty stomach because Citracal doesnt need as much stomach acid to be absorbed.
- Citracal is well tolerated.
- Calcium supplementation is a long-term therapy and it is important that it should be well tolerated.
- Citracal is the logical choice if stomach acid is reduced.
- As we get older we often produce less stomach acid so Citracal is ideal for the elderly. Some medications and antacids also reduce the amount of acid in the stomach so ask your doctor or pharmacist if Citracal is the best calcium supplement for you.
- Citracal can be taken in water.
- Citracal tablets break up in water, so it is easier to take them if you have difficulty swallowing tablets. Make sure you stir well and drink the entire contents.
- Citracal can even be taken if you have allergies to dairy products and gluten.
- Citracal is gluten free and contains no dairy products, salt, sugar or artificial colouring.
- Citracal is more easily absorbed.
- Calcium citrate is readily absorbed by the body. Therefore, you need less elemental calcium than with calcium carbonate.

Each year, nations around the world compete for major events. These events can range from sporting events to political events, from major conventions to religious festivals. In all cases, and despite their different themes, these events are judged not only by the quality of the event but also by the events' economic success or failure. No matter what we call the event or what its purpose may be, on some level, events are a business and the locale that chooses to ignore the business side of the event, will in the end suffer not only an economic failure but will also have to deal with negative publicity and potential employee turnover. To help you focus on the business side of major events, Tourism & More offers the following suggestions:
The strength and success of an event is dependent on the event management's ability to integrate its many subparts. Major events need to be planned for long in advance. Despite the fact that they seem simple, locales need to begin to worry about everything from event customer service to event security. Each one of an event's component factors need to be integrated into such a way that all aspects of the event interact in a seamless and precise manner.
Employ great tourism security and risk management strategies. Make sure to list everything that may go wrong and then develop a plan based on probability models. Good event security means protecting not only the attendees and the site from physical harm, but also caring about the event's economic viability and its reputation. International events are not only a target for terrorism but can also become a place where illnesses and pandemics can spread rapidly.
Plan for the long term rather than the short term. If the event will require special construction, such as an Olympic village or increased transportation facilities, then plan for life after the event is long finished. Mega events can provide locales with the opportunity to bring about major infrastructure development. When developing these infrastructure improvements, make sure that they are part of a coordinated effort and include the local population, the local security forces, and those groups that are concerned with environmental impact and beautification issues. What is essential to remember is that one can use poorly so that in the post-event stage there is blight or the local authorities can use the event as a stimulus for economic renewal.
There are multiple markets for major events. Many tourism entities assume that major events have only one market. Nothing could be further from the truth. When marketing a major event or any event, consider that you have the following markets: (1) The media is not only a way to market but also a market. Getting the media to have a positive attitude toward your event requires a marketing strategy. (2) The local population is a second market. These are people who, while not directly responsible for the event, are key to the attendees' long-term attitude toward the event's host locale. (3) Those attending the event are an additional market. (4) Those viewing the event from the perspective of the Internet or television form an entirely different market.
Use the social media to get your message out at little or no cost. From email to social media, there are now multiple ways to save money while getting a message out. Create special event pages on such social media sites as Facebook. Use websites as "locales" in which you can sell tickets, collect payments, and provide refunds.
Make sure that your division of labor reflects reality. Major events require not only long-term professional staffs, but also temporary helpers and volunteers. Each one of these subgroups has its own special needs and goals. Volunteers are an especially important group as they can become insulted and quit at almost any moment. When working with volunteers, remember that their "pay" is the satisfaction that you provide to them. Remember that your paid and unpaid staffs form your most precious resource. If the event organization uses this resource wisely, it can cut down on a great many costs and turn what might be a loss into a profit.
Find ways to cut costs by researching travel patterns. Study the event participants' travel patterns, keep vehicles filled, work with local venues to find ways to cut costs, create ways for people to want to share in the event's costs through sponsorships, meet the celebrities, or donations. Remember the more money that is collected, the less the public will need to pay and the happier event attendees may be.
Develop flexible timelines. No matter how well you plan, things change over time. Service providers change; people start new businesses, die, or retire; and weather conditions may produce unforeseen delays. The trick is to practice the art of redundancy; have numerous back-up plans and assume that most things will take about 20 percent longer to accomplish than first contemplated. Furthermore, many industries providing goods and services to an event may see "opportunistic costs." This means that they assume that they can jack up prices, as the event planner will have no alternative but to pay. To avoid these problems, attempt to secure multiple sources, purchase early, and demand contracts that lock into service providers to a set price.

that time of year again, no not Cyclocross (but yes it really is that
time too), but it's time to think Winter and SNOW BIKING. For the second
year in a row, Moots will be offering a limited run of Moots "FROSTI"
snowbikes for the fast approaching winter season. The leaves are
changing and the cooler weather is just around the corner, which means
the snow is not far away. Moots will be making a run of these
fat-tire-cold-weather-loving-bikes in our stock sizes listed below. It's
time to commit….ride your favorite single track covered in snow or make
that trip of a life time to the Northern latitudes and get hooked on
super fat tires.
Some of the story:
Several years ago Moots began to experiment with snow bikes, because
well, we live where snow is king for a large part of the year and we
wanted to see what we could build to get around on the packed out trails
that litter our town. We started by building a few of these machines
for our good friend and snowbike racer Mike Curiak. From there we built a
few for the inside guys here at Moots, morphing what we had learned and
following what was quickly dare I say …a standardization of snow bike
parts? We also built a show worthy version that made it to the North
American Handbuilt Show in Portland Oregon.
year we offered our very first production run of this rare breed and
saw a boom not only in our "local" snow bike scene, but across the
country the super fat tire revolution is underway.
So if you love riding packed snow trails during the dead of winter, we are ready to make you a Moots FrosTi.

|Aglauropsis aeora Mills, Rees & Hand, 1976
Phylum Cnidaria / Class Hydrozoa / Order Limnomedusae / Family Olindiasidae
You probably won't encounter this attractive limnomedusa very often – it's known only from several locations in central California, including Monterey Bay. The most conspicuous feature are the 4 folded curtain-like gonads, whitish or pale blue-green in color, extending along the length of each radial canal. The central manubrium has 4 frilly lips. The bell is transparent with a diameter up to 2 cm. Lining the bell margin is a relatively broad ring canal and 60 to 100 statocysts. About 200 tentacles of different lengths attach at varying heights above the bell margin.

Belfiore: Windows Phone 8.1 beta Lockscreen app could be just a week away
0. phoneArena posted on 18 Jul 2014, 14:30
Microsoft's Joe Belfiore tapped out a tweet on Friday, to tell Windows Phone 8.1 users that a beta version of their eagerly awaited Lockscreen app is coming soon. Microsoft mentioned the feature at its Microsoft Build 2014 conference. Instead of being included with the OS, a separate Lockscreen app will have to be downloaded...

Oh, cousin IT still works for Microsoft still. I guess they didn't tell him. "Where do want to go today?".
11. Liveitup (Posts: 1798; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
If your cousin was let go he wasn't to good to begin with. If he worked at Motorola he would have been let go a while ago when Google sold the company after getting the patents.
Besides if your cousin worked at Microsoft you must have really hated him seeing as to how you constantly bash Microsoft

I don't really get 'English' part.
Will i have to change region to US/UK?
This is great!
5. corporateJP (Posts: 2458; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
Wow...cool story...too bad my Windows Phone is being retired in favor of a new G3...
LATE PASS, Microsoft.
A lot of us are moving on (in some cases, back) to iOS, Android, or whatever else.
I can't do business with people like you for so many different reasons...
7. colinkiama (Posts: 60; Member since: 23 Nov 2013)
could you list some of those reasons for us?
16. corporateJP (Posts: 2458; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
Microsoft took a big s**t on Nokia, Nokia employees, and Nokia users...reason enough for me...
19. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2072; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
I don't think it took sh*t at you or anyone of your family. In any case. its good you're moving away or rather don't want anything to do with MS and WP, since brainless trolls like you aren't welcome in a modern and fresh platform like Windows Phone. Go back to your old school icons and widgets.
28. Liveitup (Posts: 1798; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
And yet Microsoft still has double the amount of employees that Google has. Google took a s**t on you you're just to blinded to realise this.
33. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
god, quit your backseat driving and crying.
"Oh no! Microsoft laid off employees!" They must be the ONLY corporation in the world to do so, after a major buyout!
"Nokia people are getting screwed!" Right, because you're so tied in with Nokia, right? Because you work directly FOR Nokia, right? Or you know someone you know happens to work there?
This doesn't affect you in the slightest. Quit being buttmad over someone else's well-being. That's like someone being angry that Lebron left the Heat instead of re-signing with them. It has zero impact on you, yet you idiotically picket. Please stop.
32. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Yeah, I'm sure MS is reeling from the loss of your business. Good job, corporateJP. Your migration to the G3 is going to be the straw that broke Microsoft's back.
Quit crying, please. It's pathetic how you have to look for reasons to hate.
6. Liveitup (Posts: 1798; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
Jealous ones envy and hate. WP ftw.
8. T.Law (Posts: 418; Member since: 10 May 2014)
I used to be in denial and think that way, until I tried the Note 3.
WP has got nothing for Android and iOS users to be jealous of. It's actually the way around but well, we all know how blind and biased you are.
9. Penny (Posts: 1672; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Note 3 is a special case. With the large screen and especially stylus, it has a lot of functionality that is not standard with Android. I love that added functionality, just don't want to deal with such a big device.
Comparing stock Android to WP 8.1 is a much closer affair, with Android leading in flexibility and overall entertainment, and WP leading in ease of use and functional efficiency. My opinion at least.
10. DogeShibe (Posts: 1116; Member since: 10 Jan 2014)
Keep calm & Liveitup
12. Liveitup (Posts: 1798; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
Well I beg to diifer I see Android moving from Skeuomorphism to Flat UI as an imitation. I think you are still in denial if you think WP has nothing on Android or Note 3. How am I biased? explain yourself, if I can prove what I say that is not biased that is facts, become friends with a dictionary you clearly need it. Lets look at a video comparison of Note 3 vs Lumia 1520.
That is reality, wake up.
17. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
Hello bro, android went flat in december 2010 with honeycomb 3.0. While wp7 was released in October 2010, I don't think Google can copy the user interface of an OS(which itself was hardly headlines and was a meh release) in two months.
Also please stop comparing your ugly cluttered OS with the beauty of Android. :)
20. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2072; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
You're mistaken. Android went flat with Jelly Bean 4.1 in the summer of 2012. Honeycomb and ICS used the roboto theme and holo UI. That changed with Jelly Bean since Google wanted to "speed up" Android, which it couldn't. That ultimately led to more flattening of the UI with 4.2 and 4.3. And finally KitKat looked like a more flatter version of ICS, and its was faster and fluider than any previous version of Android, a claim Google made with JB in 2012. And now what you've seen with material design on Android 5.0 L is basically what is called "copying"or borrowing of the WP flat UI. In any case, I like Android L. But you being a big time fandroid must know the basic facts I stated above.
26. Liveitup (Posts: 1798; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
You can try to rewrite history doesn't mean its going to happen. Android wasn't flat in 2010. I even recall WP getting a lot of hate from Android fans because of its Flat UI .
WP when it launched was the only Flat OS it was lauded by many as being totally different from Android, Apple, BB and anything else out there. The only reason you're grasping at straws is simply cause what many of you hated has set the world on fire and your fav OS is now using it. There is no credibility in lies.
13. ManusImperceptus (Posts: 724; Member since: 10 Jun 2014)
Better sunlight visibility, native offline navigation, superior cameras, superior ruggedness, streamlined UI, smooth experience on all device levels... WP paired with Nokia hardware have plenty for Android and iOS users to be envious of.
Unfortunately, MS seems to have missed all the hardware points...
21. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2072; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
Hey T.Law, Note 3 is a SAMSUNG phone. And there is a huge difference between stock Android and Samsung's take on stock Android. Samsung has a ton of features to make use of that huge display. But stock Android doesn't have those features. If you compare stock Android and "stock" WP, they both are level pegging in terms of functionality and features, but of course, Android is a lot more customisable. Never compare Samsung Android with WP. TouchWiz is almost like a different OS all together, but it still has the Play Store to vouch for it running Android.
14. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
Fragmentation, that sucks.
Limited to resources that are always touted as not required by the die hards.
So then either that's a joke or this is some spectacular lock screen app.
15. checkmymike (Posts: 172; Member since: 28 Dec 2011)
Eagerly anticipated windows phone lockscreen app?
My God.
18. 0xFFFF (Posts: 3806; Member since: 16 Apr 2014)
Just wait until Microsoft starts pitching "still tiles" as some sort innovation.
22. Liveitup (Posts: 1798; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
No one else was using tiles until MS did it so yeah its innovation.
23. 0xFFFF (Posts: 3806; Member since: 16 Apr 2014)
BS. Microsoft stole "live tiles" from an outside company. Stealing is not "innovation" unless you are Microsoft or some groupie of theirs.
As a recent critique of Satya Nadella's meaningless BS speech before the layoffs mentioned:
"Nadella begins at the altar of innovation, a word that at Microsoft has traditionally meant stealing technology."
24. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2072; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
"Stealing" is something Samsung is very good at. Heck, they were the only ones to date who could make Android look like iOS. Don't mistake MS for Samsung. MS innovate. They created the modern/metro UI, the UI that your beloved Google are copying. Again, don't crap BS without any basis or backup of your stupid claim.
27. Liveitup (Posts: 1798; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
MS has the patent for Live Tiles, you cant steal something when you have the patent, those Like HTC Blinkfeed and all the other having large Tiled like interfaces instead of Icons well they are simply stealing from Live Tiles.
30. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
No one else wants them, simple as that.

Long-term Provisional Anterior Tooth Replacement using Fiber-reinforced Composite and Avulsed Tooth Crowns as Pontics
Yurdag�ven, Haktan / Say, Esra Can / G�ler, Nurhan
The loss of anterior teeth due to trauma requires immediate attention for function and esthetics. While implant- supported or conventional fixed prostheses may be the treatments of choice for adults, relatively noninvasive and reversible provisional procedures for tooth replacement are necessary for adolescents. In recent years, developments in fiber and composite technology offer a conservative treatment approach to restore the anterior edentulous space as a fixed provisional tooth replacement. This case report presents the chairside procedures of anterior tooth replacement in an adolescent using the avulsed tooth crowns as pontics which were bonded to teeth on either side of the edentulous space and reinforced with a preimpregnated fiber.
Keywords: avulsion, chairside tooth replacement, preimpregnated fiber

Mohamed Ali is the Greatest at the WPT Marrakech
The World Poker Tour crowned its latest winner this past weekend, and despite a final table that boasted some of poker's biggest names it was a local player, with an all-too familiar name who would take home the WPT Marrakech title.
Oddly enough, one of the poker superstars defeated was the man who became famous for shadow-boxing his way to the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event Championship, Jonathan Duhamel, fittingly taken out by a man named Mohamed Ali (Houssam) at the WPT Marrakech Main Event. Duhamel wasn't the only big name unable to beat the 2011 Moroccan Poker Open Champion (and now WPT Marrakech Champion), as Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and Arnaud Mattern also fell by the wayside as Mohamed Ali Houssam captured his second tournament victory of 2011.
The nine-person final table was headlined by the trio of Team PokerStars Pros Duhamel, Mattern, and ElkY, but two of the three were dispatched early on as ElkY hit the rail in 8th place, followed by Duhamel in 7th – Mattern managed to hang on a bit longer before being eliminated in 4th place.
With the three big names eliminated, Houssam became the odds on favorite after dominating the tournament since the outset (almost always amongst the chip-leaders) in addition to having a bit of a home-field advantage considering his previous win back in May was at the same casino in Marrakech.
Here is how the final nine players fared at the final table of the WPT Marrakech Main Event:
1. Mohamed Ali Houssam — $267,011
2. Toufik Ourini — $166,374
3. Maksim Martinov — $107,340
4. Arnaud Mattern — $69,778
5. Hassan Fares — $50,991
6. Rodney Assous — $41,322
7. Jonathan Duhamel — $33,815
8. Elky Grospellier — $30,699
9. Sebastien Ta — $28,013
Tags: Arnaud, ElkY, Home Field Advantage, Houssam, Main Event 1, Martinov, Mattern, Mohamed Ali, Moroccan, Open Champion, Poker Main Event, Poker Superstars, Shadow Boxing, Toufik, Tournament Victory, Wayside, World Poker Tour, World Series of Poker, World Series of Poker Main Event, WPT

ScanSafe reported that global threats on the Web increased 13 percent in June, with malware creators using more tricks to slip their products into systems.
Until governments where malware writing for profit flourishes crack down hard on those writers, increases like those reported by ScanSafe will likely continue. The security company said the number of viruses on the Web grew by 13 percent last month.
"Our data indicates that virus writers are using smaller, stealthier, higher-frequency attacks," Eldar Tuvey, CEO and co-founder, ScanSafe, said in the report. "In the past few months, we haven't seen massive, headline-grabbing outbreaks. However, we have seen a steady stream of low-volume viruses designed to exploit the time between a virus' initial appearance and the release of an anti-virus signature."
Those "zero-day" releases pose an immense threat to PC users. Microsoft Windows can bring in updates when they are released, while antivirus packages can retrieve new files as needed. The problem comes when exploits hit before their cures can be developed and installed.
On the corporate side, it seems that employees help thwart the battle by IT departments against malware with their browsing activities. ScanSafe said 60 percent of companies that have deployed its Web Filtering Service report users have attempted to access high-risk, adult content sites.
Also, 58 percent have tried to reach search engines restricted by the filtering service. Unsafe sites can deliver drive-by downloads of, at best, CPU-hogging adware, at worst a Trojan keylogger or backdoor. It doesn't look like an Internet access policy is enough for firms that do not employ a large percentage of tech-savvy personnel.

Two mysterious metal objects fell from the sky on May 14 in western Kazakhstan. A team from the Department of Emergency Situations has been dispatched to the area to investigate.
According to eyewitnesses in Zelenovsk, two large balls about 60 centimeters in diameter crashed to earth. "I was standing by my tractor when the guys started shouting, 'Look, there are some balls flying.' They were big and sparkling with yellow, red and green," the Russian news agency Interfax quoted an eye-witness as saying. Kazakhstani news agencies added that the objects consisted of "a very hard alloy" and do not appear to be radioactive.
"Eye-witnesses say these items fell in a field near the village at night. The fall was accompanied by illumination. When the locals came to the objects, they were still hot to the touch," Alexander Ivanov, an official with the Department of Emergency Situations, told Kazakhstan Today. "According to preliminary data, these items can be described as fragments of an aircraft. Specifically what kind of devices [they are] can only be determined after examination."

Your legal rights: Know your hospital status
From the office of Attorney General Lori Swanson:
When you are admitted to a hospital, it is only natural to believe that you have been admitted as a regular patient, or an inpatient, to that hospital. Yet, a concept known as observation status can affect the amount you pay if you are on Medicare.
Observation status is a term sometimes used by hospitals and Medicare. Observation status technically means that the hospital is caring for you while making a decision as to whether to admit you as an inpatient or to discharge you from the hospital.
Oftentimes, patients at hospitals may not know their status, as hospitals sometimes treat patients overnight for serious injuries or illnesses under the category of observation status. If a hospital classifies your stay as observation status, however, it may cost hundreds or thousands of dollars more than if the hospital classified you as an inpatient.
Medicare recipients can be financially impacted by observation status in at least three ways. First, if a patient requires care at a skilled nursing facility following the hospital stay, he or she must be an inpatient for at least three days before Medicare will pay for any costs at the skilled nursing facility. Second, if the patient needs prescription drugs while in the hospital on observation status, Medicare will not cover the high cost of these drugs. Third, Medicare covers observation status stays at hospitals under Medicare Part B, which charges higher co-pays than Medicare Part A.
Skilled nursing facilities. Under Medicare rules, Medicare Part A will normally pay for up to 100 days of a Medicare recipient's stay at a skilled nursing facility following a three-day stay at the hospital. In order to qualify, however, patients must be considered inpatients for at least three consecutive days, not counting the date of discharge. If a patient was not an inpatient for the three consecutive days, then Medicare Part A will not cover any amount of a subsequent stay at a skilled nursing facility. Many skilled nursing facilities require payment upfront from patients when Medicare will not cover the cost.
For example, "Jane" was taken to the hospital after a fall. A doctor reviewed her x-rays and informed her that she had a sprained knee. Jane was not able to stand with a brace, so she was sent to a hospital room. Another doctor wanted to take a CT scan of her knee, but she asked to wait until the next morning because she was in pain.
The next day, the CT scan showed that she had a fracture. Jane assumed that she had been admitted as an inpatient. No one told her that she was coded as observation status. After spending three nights in the hospital, Jane was discharged to a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation.
Because of the observation status classification while at the hospital, Medicare Part A did not cover the costs of her stay at either the hospital or the nursing facility. Jane was billed more than $11,000 for her stay at the hospital and almost $16,000 for services at the nursing facility.
Prescription drug costs. Being classified as under observation status also affects how much patients pay at the hospital for prescription drugs.
For those patients under observation status, Medicare does not pay for many routine drugs that hospital patients may need for chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Hospitals frequently bill patients steep prices for even generic drugs, so that patients who take even small amounts of drugs may be billed hundreds of dollars.
For example, "Linda" stayed at the hospital for a few days for rotator cuff surgery. She expected to be discharged the day after her surgery, but she was kept in the hospital because she progressed slowly and experienced shortness of breath and chest pain.
She was placed on observation status following her surgery, even though she had been hooked up to a heart monitor and had been unable to control her pain. Because Linda was considered to be under observation status, Medicare did not cover the costs of the prescription drugs she took while at the hospital.
Higher co-pays under Medicare Part B. Observation status also affects the amount of co-pays patients must pay under Medicare Part B. If you are an inpatient, Medicare Part A will cover all inpatient hospital services.
Generally, patients will only pay a one-time deductible for all hospital services for the first 60 days in the hospital. If instead the patient was under observation status, then he or she is responsible for paying 20 percent of the Medicare-approved amount for doctor services after paying the Part B deductible.
For example, "Ruth" went to a hospital after episodes of severe dizziness, palpitations, and shortness of breath. She never had these symptoms before the incident.
Ruth was admitted as an inpatient, but the hospital changed her status overnight to "observation status" without informing her of the change until the next day. Ruth could not get the hospital to change her status back to inpatient despite her protests. As a result, she could not afford further doctor-recommended tests due to the higher co-pays under Medicare Part B.
â-- If you're in the hospital for more than a few hours, ask whether you're an inpatient or an outpatient. Although a hospital is supposed to immediately inform each patient of any change to his or her status, this does not always happen. Additionally, many patients are not fully informed of the consequences of their status. If you have not been informed, make sure you ask whether you are an inpatient early in the process.
â-- Request to know immediately if your status changes. Even if you are admitted as an inpatient, your status may change during your stay at the hospital. Other hospital staff or even outside consultants often review a doctor's decision to admit someone as an inpatient.
If the hospital decides that the patient's symptoms do not meet Medicare's criteria for being an inpatient, then the hospital may change that person's status to observation status. Hospitals sometimes fail to notify patients of changes to a patient's status, even though they are supposed to.
â-- Know what you can appeal. The State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) is an agency that helps people navigate the Medicare appeals process.
In Minnesota, the Minnesota Board on Aging operates the Senior LinkAge Line, a free statewide information and assistance program for seniors and their families, is the SHIP agency in Minnesota. You may wish to contact Senior LinkAge Line at 1â'800â'333â'2433 or www.MinnesotaHelp.info to determine whether you can appeal the way that your care was coded by the hospital.
If you have questions about the operation of the Medicare programs or the coverage available to you under your plan, you may contact the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as follows: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 7500 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland 21244; 1-800-633-4227 or www.cms.gov.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Reader writes "you've been gamed"
A reader wrote to chastise me for allowing folks to "smear" Kathy Ehley. Because no one stepped in to denigrate Pete Donegan, that's the effect of the uneven response, he said.
I don't think I allowed anyone to smear anyone, but the reader deserves a response.
So I ask you: when you read an anonymous comment that was written to provoke or that is, how can I say this politely—ridiculous--do you give heed to what it says? When the blogger (that would be me) points out that the claim is untrue, do you ignore the facts and remember only what the commenter said? Do you decide to believe untruths?
I'm laying odds that most of you are better readers than that. I'm betting you use reason better than that. I'm betting you're smarter and more reasonable than that.
And if you aren't, nothing anyone says will make a difference.
In the marvelous book The Better Angels of Our Nature, Steven Pinker sets out to show how much violence has declined, and why. That's right: violence has declined. Our beliefs and perceptions that it's on the rise have no basis in evidence.
What's violence got to do with it? Our thinking and moral reasoning, our moral and ethical expectations, have risen. And thinking better, being smarter about things like stoning women and beating children and torturing soldiers leads to better behavior. That's why we get so exercised when we hear about it happening. We're better at spotting wrong-headed (or just wrong) and goofy stuff.
Despite the continuing inexplicable popularity of Rush Limbaugh and the antics of some anonymous posters in blogs.
The sophistication of our political discourse, Pinker shows, has actually increased. The problem lies not in what is being said more of the time but in the spin and our increasing reliance on sound bites, chosen to reduce complex ideas to bones thrown to dogs.
And comments can be like that: bones thrown to dogs. Do you leap, even when it's poisoned?
Likely, our fear that "the other guys" are both more stupid and venal than we are, capable of far worse things, is equivalent to our fear our children will be snatched. In fact, if you wanted your child to be snatched, you'd have to leave him outside for 750,000 years, statistically speaking. It's just not a justified fear.
In this case, the "far worse thing" the commenters accuse able candidate Ehley of is that Tom Ament has her yard sign. Which is likely true. So what? A candidate's job is to get elected and secure all the legitimate votes he or she can.
The other terrible thing Ehley has been accused of is signing a recall petition, which she did not do. That accusation matters because it's a deliberate falsehood. For lies, we should have no tolerance.Or for those who tell them.
That aside, in a free society, signing a petition, too, should be a so what?
I stopped the comments speculating about friends, relatives, others signing "The Petition" because it's just the wrong kind of speculation to bother with. We are surrounded by decent people who have different ideas about who our governor should be, and why. So what? Dear loyal reader, even for you I won't reproduce that speculation here.
But back to the rest of you. I know the better angels of your nature will nudge you to reject all foolishness you hear when it comes to elections. And that you're delighted there is so little to object to in our candidates that the trolls have nowhere to go but. . .there.
Well, most of you, anyway.

Bsquare launches TestQuest 10 to automate test creation and execution for embedded devices and applications
December 19, 2011 by John Day
Integrated with popular development tools, TestQuest 10 improves product reliability and shortens time-to-market
BSQUARE Corporation announced the availability of TestQuest 10, a new product within the company's test automation technology suite that brings together key strengths of TestQuest Pro for test creation and TestQuest CountDown for test execution, benefiting embedded device and/or application developers, including automakers and suppliers, via more reliable products and shorter development cycles.
"Consumers have decreasing tolerance for anything that doesn't work right, and if they don't like a product, word can spread very quickly," notes John Traynor, Bsquare vice president Products. "The more thoroughly a product is tested prior to launch, the more reliable it's likely to be."
Traynor adds that it's significantly more expensive to fix defects after a product has been launched. But at the same time, developers are under incredible pressure to add new features and ship products sooner. "The result is less time available for testing – and especially for manual testing, which is very labor-intensive."
Traynor describes TestQuest 10 as a test automation solution that is the best of both worlds. "It combines the flexible, extensible test creation of TestQuest Pro and the distributed, scalable test execution of TestQuest CountDown. In addition, we did extensive product research and added many of our customers' top requests. The result is a solution that provides greater breadth and depth of automated testing while delivering tremendous value to customers."
No need to learn to use new tools
TestQuest 10 reduces the cost and complexity of test case development by integrating with the most popular commercial software development environment, Microsoft Visual Studio, as well as with popular software version control systems. This integration helps customers get started quickly without needing to learn an entirely new set of tools. TestQuest 10 supports test development using any language that supports the .NET common language runtime (CLR), including C#, Visual Basic, IronPython, IronRuby, and others.
The key technology improvements included in the new TestQuest 10 solution help application developers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) get their products to market quickly, saving time and money, by reducing test costs and complexity while also increasing software and device quality.
TestQuest 10 highlights:
- Reduces per-test pass costs and complexity of test case development by integrating with popular tools;
- Scalable automation enables test case reuse across multiple devices, increasing execution accuracy;
- Supports test execution on desktop prototypes, emulators and simulators, enabling test execution to start before production hardware is available;
- Supports testing for devices running on Android and Windows Embedded platforms
- Improved intelligent text recognition and language capabilities – up to 92% processing speed improvement.
Lowers test pass cost; increases execution accuracy
TestQuest 10 lowers the cost of each test pass while increasing test execution accuracy. Scalable automation enables test cases to be reused multiple times across multiple devices and also reduces the mental and physical strain caused by repetitive manual testing. Testing productivity can be further increased through distributed test execution, which provides customers with the ability to test using geographically distributed development and test teams. Additional productivity savings are gained by the product integrating with Microsoft Test and many popular third-party and open source testing tools which allows teams familiar with these tools to be immediately productive with TestQuest 10.
"The TestQuest 10 solution mimics the actual type of interaction a human would have with a device without the limitations, strain and errors associated with manual testing. The automation features in TestQuest 10 can also improve the quality of testing," Traynor continues. "It provides testing that's similar to what would be encountered in the real world—across multiple environments, in different geographies, and with varied hardware—so developers and device manufacturers can detect defects that might not otherwise arise in a single location or test environment."
TestQuest 10 accelerates customers' time to market by allowing test development and test execution to start with desktop prototypes, device emulators and simulators, even before production hardware is available. Customers can then transition testing to production devices and execute tests without changing any underlying test code.
TestQuest 10 supports test development and execution under 32- and 64-bit Windows 7 environments and various target device types including those running Android and Windows Embedded platforms. The new product also features improved intelligent text recognition (ITR) across all supported language sets.
92% processing speed improvement
The additional language capabilities in the product demonstrate the Bsquare commitment to internationalization and localization, especially for the Asia Pacific market. Compared to prior test automation products, customers will see up to a 92% processing speed improvement for major European languages and up to a 40% increase in accuracy for Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
"Customers decide what test cases they want to develop, and those tests can run 24×7 using automation versus manual testers," Traynor concludes. "We're seeing dramatic improvement in customers' ability to get products to market quickly, and they are seeing a big improvement in customer satisfaction. Our automated testing technology helps them reduce risk by identifying defects more reliably – avoiding false passes and fails, for example. The fact that each test is identical can help developers identify defects that might otherwise be hard to find, and these reliability benefits are available without developers having to learn to use new tools."

Flaylock pistol is basically a better mass driver, its kind of sad.
Scrambler pistol however is quite good, as you level the skill up you get a bigger clip, which makes a HUGE difference. The headshot multiplier on scrambler pistol is something like 4.5x, so you are looking at somewhere in the ballpark of 350+ damage on a headshot. If you are good at scoring headshots you can start killing people in 2-3 shots, even heavies.
Lum_the_Mad 4 years ago#3
The flay lock is a good finishing weapon but like other explosive weapons it's pants VS shields and most people run shields now. I'm pretty sure it does half dmg to shields like the mass driver, but I could be wrong. The main problem is you only have 3 shots, if you hit with every one of them you should kill most people, if you miss however you're pretty screwed.
The main problem is it has very little range, is hard to be accurate with if your moving and your target are moving. Plus a 1-2m blast radius is not a lot. If you want to use them I would say it's one those skills like the Mass driver where you have to go all out into it. You can't just put a few SP into it and call it good. You need to max skills to get a bigger blast radius and a faster reload, because your going to be doing that A Lot.
Over all my favorite side arm is the sub machine gun. It's a great finisher and with it's high rate of fire it's easier to hit those fast moving bunny hopping scouts with.
Unless it's been patched though one huge advantage to the flaylock though is it's very low cost. I considered it at first on my logi to save points for equipment slots but decided against it after trying it out on a new character. Which is what I suggest you do, make a new character and spend your first 500 points all on the flay lock to try it out.
"That is not just scraping the bottom of the barrel, that is lifting the barrel up and poking some of the slimy sludge growing underneath the barrel."

Swaglock requires aim and the ability to lead a target, Pistols don't
Swaglocks make 99% of Scouts and 60% of militia assault suits vanish on a single hit a prototype, Pistols requires you headshot to do that
I use Swaglocks myself and enjoy them but its your call

Flaylocks and scramblers require some skill to use and really need the sp investment to make them good. But once you do, they are beastly weapons.
SMG on the other is a weapon that you don't need to invest to at all. I use one right now, with only 1 point in the initial skill and one for dispersion.

Conley said Hernandez used a handgun to shoot and kill Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado, two Cape Verdean nationals, on July 16, 2012, in Boston's South End.
The former tight end for the New England Patriots is already in jail awaiting trial on charges he and two accomplices shot a man to death last June in an industrial park near his home in South Attleboro, Massachusetts. He has pleaded not guilty.
Hernandez's attorney was not immediately available to comment on the new charges.
Hernandez was seen as a rising star in the NFL and had contract with the Patriots worth about $40 million. The Patriots released him from the team hours after his arrest last June.
The murder charges against Hernandez were seen as a setback for the NFL. Despite efforts to protect itself from controversy, the league has been dragged into a string of scandals by players stretching from O.J. Simpson's murder trial in 1995 to more recent cases involving dog fighting, injury bounties, spying and gambling.

This does not change anything. If your ex has a loss on the sale, meaning the home sells for less than the purchase price, he will not have to repay the credit.
Since the home is in foreclosure, it is a very good probability that there will be a loss, and he will not have to pay back any of the credit.

Look Beyond Sanchez
Mark Sanchez isn't an elite quarterback in the National Football League. In fact, he's not even close to being on that level. But, despite what some pundits and a few highlights would have you believe, he isn't the reason for the Jets lack of success in 2011.

Tebowed: Broncos 17, Jets 13
For the first fifty five minutes of football on Thursday night, New York's defense made Tim Tebow look like a guy that has no business in the National Football League.

Here are the biggest reasons why Denver pulled the upset:

Mel Tillis Recovering From Heart Surgery
Country legend Mel Tillis is recovering in Nashville after undergoing heart surgery.
The singer's daughter, fellow country star Pam Tillis, broke the news in a press release Monday (March 10). Her statement follows:
"Over the weekend, Daddy required a routine heart procedure. He's doing fantastic and is expected to make a full recovery. In typical Mel Tillis fashion, he's already cutting up and cracking jokes with the nurses. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated."
The 81-year-old Country Music Hall of Fame member has scored a slew of hits as both a songwriter and a performer. Artists who have cut his songs include Kenny Rogers ('Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town'), George Strait ('Thoughts of a Fool') and Ricky Skaggs ('Honey, Open That Door').
Tillis' own hits include 'I Believe in You,' 'Southern Rains' and 'Coca-Cola Cowboy.' He is also an actor, appearing in films including 'Every Which Way But Loose,' 'Smokey and the Bandit II' and 'The Cannonball Run.'
BMI named Tillis the Songwriter of the Decade for two decades, and in 2012, President Obama presented him with the National Medal of Arts.

The Boot extends our best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
