text: How do you get young people to fall in love with the ballet? Still hazy on that one. But if you want to get young men to fall in love with Boston Ballet dancers, all you gotta do is get them styled by KARMALOOP and turn them loose in the Liberty Hotel. The dudes we know who attended this jawn are still recovering from broken hearts and bruised jaws -- of the type you can only get from your chin repeatedly hitting the floor.

How do you determine if a movie is "cheesy?" Is there some sort of checklist?
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
"Cheese" movies are movies whose plotline revolves around cheese in some fashion or another. Let's take a look at BSR's list. Sometimes the cheese connection is obscure and insidiously clever...
TMNT: Cheese pizza. If the evil Shredder gang takes over New York, hundreds of independent pizzerias run by honest, hardworking Italians will be forced to close. The turtles must use all their skills to prevent this catastrophe.
Batman: Although never stated outright in the film, it's implied that after teaming up to destroy Batmen, the super villains will go on to put a strangle hold on the cheese production capabilities of the entire world. Destroying Batman is simply phase one of their fiendish plan...
Evil Dead: Of course, the incantations in the Necronomicon, when read from cover to cover, would make the very concept of cheese cease to exist. Ash must prevent this unthinkable tragedy from ever occuring...
Howard The Duck: George was going for a metaphorical "cheese as life" parable that clearly went over the heads of simple movie goers who panned this brilliant film, thus destroying any chance of seeing the other two films in the trilogy (George only does trilogies, after all) which would have made everything staggeringly clear in the end.
Star Trek: Clearly the whales were brough back from the past strictly to cultivate their milk and make a rare Whale Cheese which was intended to placate the advancing alien probe. Somehow all of this was left on the cutting room floor...
Beetlejuice: Lord knows what was (and is) going through Tim Burton's head, but the man is a huge fan of all types of cheese. This movie above all others (except perhaps Ed Wood) is an homage to cheese.
Who's a sexy kitty? Who is? Yes, you are. You're a SEXY kitty...
PHONE BOOK Written by Bendis. Art by Jim Lee. Total copies sold: 15 billion.
"Comic Collecting. Miss a decade, miss a lot."
Masters of the Universe was pretty cheesy, I liked that as a kid.
What am I doing with a DVD copy?
Garbage Pail Kids The Movie was pretty cheesy, is that available on DVD?
I'd like to see it again.
Sorry Caesar, no GPK: The Movie yet on DVD. Infact I don't even think it's avaliable on VHS anymore. Same thing that happened with the cards, they noticed a similarity in the charecters with some of the kids buddy type dolls, and made a stink. Good trivia question for ya, what was the A and B names, for the R2-D2 like Garbage Pail Kid card?
MTFBWY and HH!!
Jar Jar Binks
AGENTS OF ATLAS - Returns in Early 2009.
I enjoy a good cheesy movie.
Some of my favorites:
Evil Dead 2
Army of Darkness
Serial Mom
Tank Girl
No Holds Barred
Fear of a Black Hat
Toxic Avenger
Beast Master
Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo
The Human Tornado
Night of the Lepus
Food of the Gods
C.H.U.D 2 : Bud the C.H.U.D.
Tuff Turf
I could probably go on all night.....but I won't
I usually define a cheesy movie as one that is low budget/bad, and you enjoy the movie despite/because of it.
"Roger Nasty Butler!"
Aww....and here I thought we were going to discuss cheese
*shrugs* I have many cheesy movies that I like.
All the Evil Dead movies, Cannibal! The Musical, TMNT, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Return of the Killer Tomatoes, The Killer Tomatoes Eat France, etc.
"Two in the box, ready to go, we be fast, and they be slow!"
Check out my art at The Terrace Room!
They made sequels to the killer tomato movie? Oh dear Lord......! That's too cheesy to contemplate.
Jonny Mnemonic is preeeeetty cheesy. home alone and it's terrible sequels. Beethoven. Turner and hooch. K9. In fact any movie centered around kids or animals. With the exeption of ET.
Gremlins II is extremely cheesy.
I can think of plenty of cheesy movies but just... not right now.....
OOO! How could I forget the Gremlins films? And Mars Attacks.
Hairspray. Or any John Waters film.
Stop or my Mom will shoot
kindergarten cop
Mr. nanny
Fantastic voyage
The shaggy DA
Freaky friday
Digby the worlds biggest dog
Bugsy Malone
The Flintstones
There's so many to choose from I can't even begin. I'm kinda loped o these kids and animals movies right now.

Family: Ambystomidae, Mole Salamanders view all from this family
Description Small head & limbs. Blackish-brown in color with gray to silvery-white net like markings or spotting. Small legs & an indistinct tail. Larvae have longitudinal brown and yellow stripes. 13-16 coastal grooves.
Dimensions Length: 3 1/2-5" (8-13cm)
Endangered Status The Flatwoods Salamander is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as threatened throughout its range in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Like many species that live in small, isolated populations, it has suffered from industrial, residential, and agricultural development in its habitat, which consists of pine flatwoods and seasonal breeding ponds. Additionally, too much or too little rainfall can hamper breeding success, making this species even more vulnerable. St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge is one place where this species receives protection.
Breeding Breeds October through November in dry pond sites and ditches. 160 eggs laid in soil or under debris. Larvae hatch after 3-5 weeks. 1/2" (13mm) in length. Blackish in color with light stripes. Change color in March/April at 2 3/4" (70mm)
Habitat Small shallow ephemeral ponds, with wire grass.
Range S. Carolina through Georgia & Florida to Mississippi.
Discussion Adults mostly underground. From September to December migrates upwards to swamplands. Courtship occurs in shallow water and dry pond basins. Eggs hatch in response to rising water levels. Males mature at 1-2 years, females at 2-3 years.

Spokesperson statements:
From the Daily Mail (UK): A spokesperson for the singer strongly denied the claims when contacted by MailOnline and said: 'That is ridiculous and not true! She stars in SPARKLE out in August which she also Exec produced. She just wrapped the film.'
From GossipCop: A rep for Houston laughed off the report, telling Gossip Cop it is 100 percent "not true."
From CNN: Her rep tells CNN in a statement that the reports are "totally false and ridiculous. She just made a movie with Jordin Sparks – 'Sparkle.'" In case you didn't know, "People get paid to make movies. [Houston's] not broke."
I'm not comfortable with linking to these articles because of course they just repeat the false story and bury the spokesperson's denial much lower in their articles. Their stories should LEAD with the denial, or have the denial included by the second paragraph, rather than perpetuating this.

Daybreak is a master-planned community designed using a traditional neighborhood development model (TND) which means that all homes within the community are within a five-minute walk or bike ride of a major amenity such as a park, the lake, or a shopping area, reducing resident's dependence on automobile travel and providing the opportunity for a healthier lifestyle.
The development currently contains three schools, community center, swimming pools tennis courts and community gardens. Along with the 22 miles (35 km) of trails and over a dozen community parks, a man-made lake, Oquirrh Lake, was developed for non-motorized boating, fishing, and other recreational activities.
Daybreak was ranked as the 6th Best Selling Master Planned Community in the Nation for 2009.

Palo Alto Networks (PANW) popped 6.9% just after the close Monday on news that it had acquired privately held cybersecurity firm Morta Security for undisclosed terms.
According to the press release, Morta has been operating in stealth mode since 2012, and brings to Palo Alto "a team experienced at protecting national infrastructure as well as technologies that enhance the proven detection and prevention capabilities of the Palo Alto Networks WildFire(TM) offering."
Palo Alto and other cybersecurity stocks, including FireEye (FEYE), Symantec (SYMC), Radware (RDWR) and Check Point Software (CHKP) started off 2014 on the right foot late last week, getting a boost on the news that hackers had infiltrated Snapchat, exposing information on 4.6 million users, including mobile numbers. The breach came as consumers were already nervous in the wake of Target's (TGT) massive security breach just before the Christmas holiday.
Palo Alto shares are up more than 21% in the past 12 months.
Update: By 4:30 investors had dialed back their enthusiasm, a bit and the shares were up 3%.

Bet his draft stock takes a tumble, I wonder if this DUI is a one time thing or is Mr Ogletree having deeper problems.
From everything thing I have seen, this kid does not have character issues. I bet it might hurt his draft stock a little, but I do not see it taking a major tumble. One can only hope that this is an isolated incident, just a kid making a stupid decision in an inebriated state. But you never know if it is an ongoing problem that has just now came to light.
"It happens all the time," Taylor said. "It's not an exact science and personnel guys aren't the end-all, be-all. " Jason Taylor,2011
He was also suspended 4 games this season for violating UGAs susbstance abuse policy. And he had some issue with stealing a motorized scooter (i think he was arrested), which cost him a game too. Would you rather have this kid or the guy who played up a fake girlfriend...?
But let's get real, Te'o deception was just as egregious. He either did it in an attempt to obtain college football's highest honor, because you have to do something to sway the voters as a LB. But this subterfuge is a little much. Or, as it was brought up that he is gay and wanted deflect any unwanted attention in the fact that he was not seeing a girl. So you be the judge - a guy that is a stupid kid or a guy that lies to a nation to achieve his own self-gratificaction or privacy.

He has been suspended a couple of times including 4 games last year for violating the substance abuse policy.

Agents JR Rickert and Peter Schaffer have had issues with former partners in the past, but they have moved on and have formed Authentic Athletix which is a top-10, perhaps even top-5 company for representing NFL players.
The battle that has begun between Authentic Athletix and Ireland revolves around client Artis Hicks. Hicks was signed this past off-season, but his career looks to be over. Miami is trying to not pay his $1.2 million salary as an injury has forced him to end his Dolphins career. Miami says the acute herniation in his neck that forced him out of action was in fact a pre-existing injury that was hidden by Hicks and his people.
Hicks disagrees, and rumor is he is going to file a grievance on Monday to recoup the money. Miami points to a 2006 x-ray they recently got their hands on which could show the injury was pre-existing. Hicks will point to the fact that he played many games (and never missed practice) since then so the injury was only career-ending now, plus since he played through this before it is possible he plum forgot about the 2006 x-ray so he did not knowingly hold back any info when signing with the Dolphins a few months ago.

- College in the Schools allows high school students to take free college-level courses at their high school through partnerships between high schools and colleges.
- International Baccalaureate is a two-year pre-college diploma program that helps prepare students age 16 to 19 for higher education in the United States and overseas.
- Postsecondary Enrollment Options is a free Minnesota program that allows sophomores, juniors and seniors to take courses at a college at no cost.

Student group holds World TB Day event, March 25
Posted March 19, 2002; 05:42 p.m.
The Princeton Tuberculosis Awareness Group will hold an information and education event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, March 25, on the 10 level of the Frist Campus Center.
The event is being held in recognition of World TB Day , which annually takes place March 24. One-third of the world's population is estimated to be infected with the bacteria that causes this disease, resulting in more than 2 million related deaths each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Participants will have the opportunity to speak with local and state health officials, others knowledgeable about tuberculosis on the international level and students who have completed original research.
The Princeton Tuberculosis Awareness Group is an undergraduate student organization pursuing tuberculosis advocacy and fostering awareness in the community. The group will be joined by members of the Princeton Project 55 Tuberculosis Initiative , a public service endeavor begun by members of the class of 1955; and RESULTS, a local citizen's advocacy group working to end hunger and poverty.
For more information, contact RESULTS volunteer Wilma Solomon at (609) 924-6996.

text: After months of contentious debate, the Missouri State Board of Education has finalized a plan to address the state's unaccredited school districts. Squarely in its sights is the Kansas City, Missouri School District, which has been operating without state accreditation since 2012. Coupled with a school transfer law set to go into effect this summer, the impact on the beleaguered Kansas City district could be immense. But just as enormous is the ripple effect these two events could have on neighboring districts throughout the metro.The implications of these developments are explored by KCPT-TV's Nick Haines and a panel of experts including Chris Nicastro, Missouri Education Commissioner; Stephen Green, Superintendent of the Kansas City Public Schools; Senator David Pearce, Chair of Missouri Senate Education Committee; John Martin, Missouri State Board of Education; and public school teacher and Missouri State Senator, Jason Holsman.

Greetings, returned 5-2 from a week in Missouri. For a while it looked like a repeat of last year... 1 and 1/2 inches of rain the night we got there, Saturday 4-24. Torrential rains and 35 mph winds all day Sunday washed out any hope of hunting on day #1. It rained off and on all day Monday, day #2, with high winds. It rained Tues morning but although it remained overcast, quit raining about 11:00 a.m. Very little gobbling or activity at dawn with the conditions as such.
I manuevered to my favorite cow pasture brush blind on the back property line as soon as it stopped raining. About 11:30 three jakes entered the field to feed and dry off, a welcome sight as NE Missouri bird numbers have dropped drastically after 3 successive bad hatches. A short time later I glassed 3 mature toms across the creek, drying off at the back of another pasture, a full 300 yards away. The jakes were in feed mode and continued to move around in front of me so there was no way to advance on the gobblers. A full 45 minutes passed and the gobblers had not moved 20 ft in that time, they weren't interested in eating, just drying out.
While glassing the toms, something suddenly spooked them and they all began running. One tom flew to the east away from me...the other two continued to run right at me. When they took to the air to fly the creek I dropped the binoculars and grabbed my shotgun. The tom on my right was gliding in for a landing that would put him about 30 yards away...maybe. The tom still airborne was coming straight at me and I had to make a decision...either hope the first tom landed in range or wingshoot the second, still 25 ft in the air and maybe intent on sailing over my head to the neighboring property. Suddenly the airborne bird set his wings like a goose and landed a mere 10 yards from my blind. He was dead as soon as his feet touched the ground. Yes Virginia, there really is a Santa Clause!
After three straight days of rain, high winds and temperatures that never topped 50, the turkey gods had smiled on me with an absolute gift and perserverance was again rewarded. At 12:15, with only 45 minutes left until the 1:00 pm quitting time, I was pinned in my blind by jakes, watching three gobblers over 300 yards away that had no intention of going anywhere. In an instant, one of them was within spitting distance. The odds of that happening have to be astronomical. And what are the odds that someone would be in that blind on a 450 acre farm if it did happen? No way.
The Missouri Dept of Conservation was correct, with all of the bad hatches if you did connect, it would likely be an older bird. The Boss was a 4 year old with 1 and 3/8 inch daggers, 11 inch beard and weighed 22 lbs.
As I said...sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. [;)]

" I was selected to review these headphones in exchange for honest review, that review follows: I have used a lot of different headphones of varying prices and have been enjoying the Monster Turbine Pro Copper headphones ever since I received them.

"Sound is neutral with a slight mid bass tilt. Highs and lows are well extended. Sound stage is large for an iem. The bass has some impact without being boomy. The treble is clear without roughness.

" Well, this has been quite the turn of events!

As for what I like, I like to listen to my electronic music, so the bright (and not overshadowed) highs and thumpy bass make for a good, enjoyable time.

" I would say that burn-in is a must for this earphone. Before burn-in, the earphone sounded unimpressive. I almost wanted to return or sell it off. It sounded so much better after burn-in.

"I bought these a year ago for $150. If you have a decent home theater system and you have a club, jazz or disco preset, that's what these sound like. They have a fun grungy club sound to them. I think they are overpriced for what you get, at the time I didn't know any better comming from apple earbuds and JVC Gummies. The bad think about these is they are HEAVY. I weighed theses against..." --JonnyRocket
Monster Gratitude In-Ear Headphones
"Thought I'd give a little love to this iem and write a quick review for it. In my opinion, its one of the closest that monster has gotten to its typical description of "clear highs, smooth mids, and punchy dynamic bass."

I thought it pertinent because you said waterboarding wasn't torture. I was wondering what your frame of reference was as many people who haven't really experienced something find it difficult to comprehend. Sen. McCain, for example, said waterboarding is torture. It seems to me he has a frame of reference that can make a call like that.
Interesting you mentioned President Obama's staff wasn't waterboarded. I don't believe Mr. Yoo or the others that drafted the torture memo's from the safety of the White House or DOJ were waterboarded, either.
It is just a difference of opinion, Julie. That is what makes America so great. The party in power is going to do what they think is in the Nation's best interest. Fortunately, we get to talk about it.
Thanks For The Help Regards,
Joe S.

GLORY 16 Primer: Heavyweight Tournament Predictions
- Written by Dave Walsh
This Saturday in Broomfield, Colorado GLORY will return to the United States with GLORY 16 Denver. The event, headlined by Marc de Bonte vs. Karapet Karapetyan for the GLORY Welterweight Championship, will feature a Heavyweight contender's tournament featuring four of the best talents at Heavyweight. Those names are Errol Zimmerman, Anderson Silva, Ben Edwards and Sergei Kharitonov.
Anderson Silva vs. Sergei Kharitonov
This is an interesting fight for a variety of reasons. The first is that Anderson "Braddock" Silva doesn't get the respect that he deserves as a Heavyweight Kickboxer. His recent losses are to Badr Hari, Remy Bonjasky, Gokhan Saki and Daniel Ghita, which is nothing to be ashamed of. He's coming off of a win over Remy Bonjasky in December heading into this tournament and will be looking to make a big impact.
Sergei Kharitonov is a name that MMA fans remember well from PRIDE and Strikeforce who has been dipping his toes into the Kickboxing world over the past few years with mixed results. He scored a win over Jerome Le Banner at GLORY 13 and since then has fought under MMA rules in Russia. Many will see him as a favorite in this tournament, but the reality here is that Kharitonov has had problems against top level Heavyweights.
I think this is power vs. skill and it could go either way. Anderson Silva is a tremendously skilled fighter but is still a bit undersized at Heavyweight. That being said, Kharitonov won't be able to match him in the skill department, but hits incredibly hard. Braddock has had problems with brawlers in the past, like his fight with Catalin Morosanu.
I think that Braddock Silva ultimately takes it, but wouldn't be shocked by Kharitonov winning, either.
Errol Zimmerman vs. Ben Edwards
This fight just screams wild brawl where someone is getting knocked out. Ben Edwards has been in the spotlight since 2010 now, having mixed results against top names but never quite committing to Kickboxing. In the past few years he has worked a lot on his technique and cardio, making him not only a heavy-hitter, but more of an actual Kickboxer now, as opposed to a Boxer with some kicks.
Errol Zimmerman is a case of a guy who can be incredibly disappointing, losing fights that he shouldn't be losing, or not coming into the fight in shape. He's got a ton of power and potential, but many feel that he has had problems living up to that. A fight against Edwards should be a wild brawl, but a wild brawl could also make him end up on the mat, so he'll need to keep his wits about him.
This fight is anyone's game and the fighter with the best preparation will most likely walk out victorious. Edwards has been focused and kept busy with Boxing in Australia in the past year, while things have been a bit less stable for Zimmerman. Zimmerman is coming off of a quick loss to Daniel Ghita, while Edwards has the momentum with his KO win over Jamal Ben Saddik.
Errol Zimmerman should win this, though.
If things were to play out as I've seen them, we'll have Anderson Silva vs. Errol Zimmerman in the finals. Zimmerman tends to thrive in situations like this and I think that we'll see him turn up the heat on Braddock, head hunting for the KO. Braddock is a solid, technical fighter, but a focused Zimmerman is going to give him a lot of trouble, leading to Errol Zimmerman walking away the winner.

Peritonsillar abscess is a collection of infected material in the area around the tonsils.
Quinsy; Abscess - peritonsillar
Peritonsillar abscess is a complication of tonsillitis. It is most often caused by a type of bacteria called group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus.
Peritonsillar abscess is usually a condition of older children, adolescents, and young adults. It has become uncommon with the use of antibiotics to treat tonsillitis.
One or both tonsils become infected. The infection usually spreads behind the tonsil and can then spread down into the neck and chest. Swollen tissues can block the airway. This is a life-threatening medical emergency.
The abscess can break open (rupture) into the throat. The content of the abscess can then travel into the lungs and cause pneumonia.
Symptoms of peritonsillar abscess include:
An examination of the throat often shows swelling on one side and on the roof of the mouth.
The uvula in the back of the throat may be shifted away from the swelling. The neck and throat may be red and swollen on one or both sides.
The following tests may be done:
If the infection is caught early, you will be given antibiotics. More likely, if an abscess has developed, it will need to be drained with a needle or by cutting it open. You will be given pain medicine before this is done.
Sometimes, at the same time the abscess is drained, the tonsils will be removed. In this case, you will be put to sleep with anesthesia.
Peritonsillar abscess usually goes away with treatment, although the infection may return in the future.
Call your health care provider right away if you have had tonsillitis and you develop symptoms of peritonsillar abscess.
Call your health care provider if you have:
Treating tonsillitis, especially bacterial tonsillitis, quickly and completely may help prevent an abscess.

So I learned something pretty important today about feeding your body. I have been just counting calories and trying to eat low fat and all that. It seems a better method for losing weight or gaining muscle, is to count macro nutrients instead. I knew that I need to be eating a lot of protein and not a lot of fat but didn't really know how much.
Anyway, from what I have been reading, in order for my to lose 1.5 to 2 pounds a week with minimal muscle loss, I should be eating 202 grams of protein, 135 grams of carbs, and 50 grams of fat. Of course the carbs should be complex and the fat clean. This is for me what a lean body mass of 158.8 pounds.
Also for best results, I should eat 100 extra carbs one day a week. This is supposed to keep your body from going into a catabolic state which is where your body does not have enough nutrients and among others things, refuses to lose weight.
Anyway, thought I would share. If you know more about this, I would love to hear about it.

UTSA magazine seeks people with unique talents
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(May 24, 2007)--Do you know a math professor who is a gourmet chef? How about a Ph.D. candidate who is a certified welder or a staff member with a pilot's license? Who at UTSA ever ran a marathon? Does someone at the university have a comic book collection that goes back to the 1960s?
If you are a UTSA student, faculty or staff member with a unique talent, you could be featured in an upcoming issue of UTSA's Sombrilla magazine.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Life for UTSA students, faculty and staff continues off campus and after hours. Even among peers, many have no idea what the person sitting next to them can do. Many members of the UTSA family have skills completely different from their duties in the classroom or office.
UTSA President Ricardo Romo has a well-known love of art and was an accomplished athlete in his college years. Jesse Zapata, vice provost for the UTSA Downtown Campus, often plays the piano for "Jazz in the Plaza" during Homecoming and at other campus events. John Davis, executive director of UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures, is an experienced black powder rifleman.
If one of your professors or the person in the next office has a hidden talent such as playing the bagpipes, an unexpected hobby such as making wine or another unique ability -- contact Lety Laurel, associate editor of Sombrilla magazine, at (210) 458-3139.

Deeplinks Blog posts about International Privacy Standards
Courts are investigating the legality of a European Union regulation requiring biometric passports in Europe. Last month, the Dutch Council of State (Raad van State, the highest Dutch administrative court) asked the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to decide if the regulation requiring fingerprints in passports and travel documents violates citizens' right to privacy. The case entered the courts when three Dutch citizens were denied passports and another citizen was denied an ID card for refusing to provide their fingerprints. The ECJ ruling will play an important role in determining the legality of including biometrics in passports and travel documents in the European Union.
EFF welcomes a strong voice in the fight against data retention mandates: on Wednesday, a group of Slovak MPs filed a complaint challenging the constitutionality of Slovakia's mandatory data retention law. The law compels telcos and ISPs to monitor the communications of all citizens including those not suspected or convicted of any crime, and in case law enforcement officials demand them for any reason.
A new project aimed at "countering illegal use of the Internet" is making headlines this week. The project, dubbed CleanIT, is funded by the European Commission (EC) to the tune of more than $400,000 and, it would appear, aims to eradicate the Internet of terrorism.
European Digital Rights, a Brussels-based organization consisting of 32 NGOs throughout Europe (and of which EFF is a member), has recently published a leaked draft document from CleanIT.
Throughout Latin America, new surveillance practices threaten to erode individuals' privacy, yet there is limited public awareness about the civil liberties implications of these rapid changes. Some countries are pursuing cybercrime policies that seek to increase law enforcement power. In other nations, government-run biometric identification systems are on the rise, while certain governments are even turning to drones to aid in their surveillance activities. A culture of secrecy surrounds these surveillance practices, and citizens remain largely unaware of what type of information is being collected and how it is being used against them.
Privacy rights face a crisis. Governments around the world have been taking overreaching, fear-based surveillance measures against essential online freedoms. Organizing an international resistance demands a complex understanding of both the latest online surveillance trends and of long-standing threats to privacy. Every year, Freedom Not Fear continues to organize a broad international protest against these threats to our civil liberties, and challenge the hyperbolic rhetoric of fear that permeates the security and privacy debate. This September 14th-17th, concerned European Internet users will descend on Brussels to participate in an international week of action against invasive surveillance initiatives. Events will also be staged in Luxembourg and Sydney.

I finally finished backporting gnonlin to it's repository, cleaning it up, updating the website, putting more documentation online, etc... I've just put a pre-release online (v0.2.0-pre1). It's available on the GNonLin website. You're welcome to try it, and send me any bugs/inconsistencies you find out. I'll do a real release in 7 days if there's no major bug found.
So this means that, AT LAST, I'm hacking on python-pitivi !
Other hacking
On the side, I've been working with the Farsight (library for IM Voice and Video) team to "reverse" the OSCAR (ICQ/AIM/iChat) voice-and-video negotiation protocol. I'm not doing this out of interest, it's so I can call my folks back home for 0 euros :)
And I've finally found somebody who's doing a video motion-estimation filter (stand-alone, not lost in the middle of a video encoder) so I can finally put into code all these algorithms that have been taking the dust for the past year (slow-motion, motion compensation, temporal interpolation, HQ video scaling, ...). More about it once he's released it in Open-Source.

At last spring gobbler season is here. It opens tomorrow, May 1. I want to take my dad out with a call we've made together. This morning I heard 4 or 5 gobblers sounding off, and I think we'll go after them in the morning. They're quite near a road, but my dad, who's about to turn 81, can't walk far without getting serious leg cramps the rest of the week.
I'll be surprised if other hunters aren't targeting these same birds, but that's what we're going after. This afternoon I might get into the area and set up a blind. Hopefully, we can knock one off on day one.

Steelheading USA
Good article comparing Great Lakes and West Coast steelheading in the November/December of Fly Rod & Reel Magazine by Jerry Kustich. History, techniques, state of the fisheries etc.
Also the Fly Fisherman - December issue also hs a large steelhead section on east and west rivers etc..
Check them out, I picked them up today at Borders.
Info/River Pimps
Hey Hal,
I have been viewing this forum for a little while and haven't taken the time to register til I saw your post. I am new here so sorry if this is out of line.
I have a serious problem with the amount of hype/publicity our rivers in Michigan get from Fly Mags. It's completely iresponsible. They publish articles that make Great Lakes Steelhead fishing sound like anyone can come hit 12 fish without any experience on any given day. Which, as you and I both know, is most certianly not the case. Most of the Mag readers come up to MI from southern states and due little more than stand in the way. On rivers like the PM this can be very frustrating given it's size. But, never the less it is right there in FF Mag....map and all...for everyone to see and some to beleive.
While I am a realist and I do understand that we Michiganders have a great resource at our finger tips and I realize that out-of-state anglers are going to want to vacation here. The hype needs to stop. The iresponsible publicity and hype will, without a doubt, be the demise of our fishery.
Sorry, just my opinion. Ok, I will get off my soapbox now.
I agree but the national hype on great lakes and PNW steelhead fisheries have been around since the early 80s at least. They do over hype, heck in 23 years of michigan steelhead fly fishing the best I have ever done a couple of times is 13-14 hookups in one day and two landed. If any one thinks they can do that here consistently on any day ,that is not the case even if you are an expert steelhead fly fisherman. They run these artcles every fall and spring it seems. It must be the PNW writers trying to swing the pressure to the great lakes waters.
The internet fishing forumns have hurt even more with every one putting up timely detailed information in my opinion the last few years.
I hardly ever post detailed information on a fishing trips results just general results etc.
BTW, Welcome to the forumn
You may be on to something there with the PNW authors.
And the Fish Snitches too!
Maybe I'll see you up north sometime.
I agree to an extent, but it is possible to hook larger numbers of steelhead when the run is on. You can hook over 20 fish a day sometimes, depending on the situation. A problem like Hal and John stated are the number of anglers fishing. Alot of times they do stand in the way and not know exactly what they are doing, but we won't be able to stop that and they are entitled to fish anyways. I hate the snaggers though, they truly make me sick. Many anglers drift their patterns with a method called chuck and duck(using lead, long leaders, swivels on a flyrod), and while I once did that I can say I moved on to more traditional methods using sink tip lines and indicator nymphing methods, and sometime this year I am going to try greased line atlantic salmon methods for summer steelhead or in late spring for dropbacks. I feel like flyfishing should be a challenge and that is what I look for when I am on the river. I began flyfishing the surf for this reason, the rivers can get crowded. I know I can find tranquility in a few of my "secret" streams, and when the fish are present it is rewarding.
By the way John, where exactly in Michigan are you from. I live in SE Michigan!
BTW, I only fish what I call the early or late run periods and only during the week. I stopped going during the prime salmon and steelhead season periods due to the crowds and idiots. Winter fishing keeps the crowds down some what, so I prefer then also.
I gave up C+D about 15 years ago, went to traditional nymph wetfly with sink tips, then into spey fishing with sink tips. I know I do not catch as many fish as I would with C+D but I am beyond catching large numbers of fish.
The guides that post the results of their trips with pictures several times a week on the major internet boards I do not think are helping the fishery. I guess they need more bookings and this is their way of marketing new customers.
Good luck guys, looks like I will be up in michigan's blue ribbon steelhead region soon. Leave some for me please, I only catch and release so I will leave any I touch for others.
Dan, I am from G.R. area. Spend the majority of my time on the west side, with the only exception being the ausable/upper man in summer...for trout.
C&D can be a naughty little lining technique when put in the wrong hands. I would be less than honest if I said I didn't ever rig up a C&D rig anymore.
The truth is there are specific applications where I find it untouchable. Even if I am using a streamer. I do fish primarily out of a boat though. And I don't target anything on gravel. I guess I still have that numbers hitch to work out of my system. All things come with age.
I too look forward to December/January Hal. The best time of year as far as I am concerned. We should hook up for a float and you can show me a thing or two about the old school sink tip method.
C+D is deadly, as soon as I switched to that method in the early 80s I started hitting steel regularly. I may pull out that reel from my vest if there is a deep hole and I am really desparate for a fish otherwise it is traditional spey with floating and sink tip methods. Does not get as deep as C+D but I feel more successful when I do hook up knowing I am using traditional fly fishing tactics, etc..
Yes we should get some of the michigan steelhead FF guys together for day or two of fishing. Don't really know how many there are on this board, we are in the minority to our PNW steelhead colleagues. I would say there at least 4-6 michigan steelhead fly fisherman posting on here now.
I often bite my tongue when reading internet discussions on Michigan fishing. I've seen on-line reports about small rivers that have literally destroyed those waters. It's even more disgusting when it's in your own backyard or just up the road. Most high hookup numbers are a result of anglers "fishing" for fish they can see. Numbers and landing ratios usually tell the real story. If you're a sportsman or an ethical guide, you know the real numbers and you know what BS is out there. Sure, I've had an incredible day or two too - out of the hundreds I've fished. Get real.
We have it very good here. Let's keep it that way.
This show and tell of the fly fishing mags is very maddening indees. I've seen it happen in Montana (I lived there for 12 years from (1979 to 1991) to the point where there were so many fishers, boats, and guides that you couldn't efffectively fish. It has gotten so bad on some of Montana's rivers that there are restrictions being placed on the number of boats allowed in certain river stretches and some stretches have even place restrictions of out-of-state anglers.
Saw this in Pennsylvania,where I grew up (left at age 25) as well. Everytime someone does a show and tell on a Pennsylvania stream or river, it gets so many fishermen it is pathetic.
I've seen this same thing happen here in Washington state where I now live as well. There was a time when you could go fish on the Olympic Peninsula rivers and see only a few other fishermen in a day. Everytime someone (usually a guide or shop owner) writes one of these show and tells, the river named gets flooded with fisherfolks, and most of them son't know what they are doing. Sure thrash the water to a froth though and scare any steelhead around silly.
I've seen it here in the NOrth Puget Sound region too. Last year there was an 'article', really a marketing promo, in a regional fishing mag on one of my favorite fall steelhead rivers. This is a small to medium sized river and it really effects things a lot when a bunch of fishermen shjow up. Needless to say, I was appalled at both the numbers of fishermen and the unsportsmanlike conduct this hoard displayed. The crowd hung around until the weather turned cold (for us that means lows in the upper 20's and highs in the 40's). There were 2 fly shops in the area sending folks there as well and telling them that all they had to was find some open water and they would catch fish.
The maddening part about it was the person who wrote the article did so to increase his guiding business, then he had the gall to complain about how those of us who had been fishing this river for years were keeping his clients from getting to the water! He had the nerve to ask several folks (myself included) to go and fish some of the less acceccesible water so that his clients could have a chance at the fishing 'cause many of them travelled a considerable distance from out of state to get in on the bounty.
Fortunately, this did not happen again this year on this river.
I would love to see the guides and shops that do this simply knock it off. Yes, it provides some additional revenue for them for a time. But it just destroys the experience of having a pleasurable day astream.
I sure hope that some of this stuff gets curtailed.
I agree with you but with the pervasive instant information age we are in now through the internet, cell phones, PDAs, etc. it appears it will not be stopping. In the 60s and 70s we waited for the monthly issues of Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, or Sports Afielt for Ted True Blood, Joe Brooks, or Charles Waterman, Lee Wulff article on may be one national blue ribbon fishery and only during the spring and summer fishing seasons. Now you go on the internet find what you want and the national outdoor and specialized fly fishing books and magazines are even more pervasive than the 60s and 70s. The proliferation of the media and the commercialization of previous recreational fisheries by professional guides since the 70s has really hurt most of our fisheries. I can remember in the 60s when there were no guides, and then in the 70s wondered why an angeler would need a crutch to hire a guide since that cuts their own individual learning curve and to me a big part of the challenge of the sport.
I have not hired a guide yet, probably should have when I first moved to the great lakes region in 1979 would have expedited my conversion from trout to steelhead and salmon fly fishing. But it was a great challenge and fun to got thorugh the conversion and succeed on my own.
Now rivers I never saw guides or drift boats in the 70s and early 80s have a constant stream of 30-40 drift boats with professional guides with their clients during the peak runs. If any one can tell me how they think that type of increased fishing pressure is good for the rivers and fishs I would like to hear it.
Maybe a solution is to limit the number of guides on any one river on any given day. Maybe that would help ? Some smaller rivers should have no drift boats on them period. To my knowledge there are only a few rivers in the U.S. with these types of rules.
Unfortunately, you are correct about the information available today. Yes, Wullf, Brooks, and others wrote about fly fishing back in the 60's. However, the focussed on how and why not when and where. I remember reading Joe Brooks talking about fishing for Missori River brown trout in the fall. However, he never mentioned where on the Missouri he fished. He did talk about how to dress for cold weather, and what equipment to use and why.
After moving to Montana, I went exploring and found exactly where Brooks was fishing for the large fall browns on the MIssouri. It was an out-of-the-way spot that was not that difficult to get to if you were willing to do some exploring with a 4X4, or willing to walk thr river bank for about 2 miles through a narrow canyon. The fishing was wonderful until the Kokanee Salmon were released into the river from an up stream irrigation diversion dam. The Kokanee spawn ant the same time as the browns and were digging up the brown trout redds. This area is only a ghost of what it used to be. But I digress.
My point is that Joe Brooks never told the exact where or the exact when, neither did Wulff, etc. All Brooks said was fall brown trout fishing on the Missouri River in Montana. Charlie Brooks was the same with his articles and books on the Madison and other Yellowstone waters. Charlie Waterman did the same as well. This despite that Charlie lived in Monatan 6 months/year and new exact where and when on mny Montana waters.
Interestingly, Gary LaFontaine gave when and where except for his two favorite places, the upper Clark Fork River and upper Rock Creek. Waters that I spent many an ejoyable evening or morning on, including having Gary come by and chat before or after fishing. He also never spoke about Flint Creek where I would also run into him at times. However, Gary wrote a lot about the Bighole river and the Missouri River, he claimed is was needed to "preserve" the fishery. Gary guided on both these rivers and had a guide friend in Helena, MT who guided on each of them. Guess who he mentioned in his articles about these two rivers?
I liked Gary and he was a very generous and honest man. However, I wished he would never had publicised the Missouri and Bighole Rivers.
Wulff would say he fished the Yellowstone River, Schiebert would say he fished the Madison river or Firehole River. They never said where they fished them or exactly what time of year.
I sure would like to see some of the same restraint practiced today by the fly fishing scribes. And, like you, I think that part of the answer would be to have state fisheries department limit the number of guides that could work a river, or stretch of river.
River Pimps
I just plain sucks. I read another one a couple weeks ago...written by a guide. The fall steelhead fishing here has been less than steller and I would be less than happy if I were an out of stater that read the article in Flyfisherman and decided to make the trip. You guys are right. Limit the number of guide boats, also, raise the price of out-of-state fishing licenses. I think that a large portion of responsibility falls in the laps of the mag editors too. Yes, the guies do the write-ups, but, the editors know what the result will be and they should know better in many cases. My 2¢.
Yes agree with both of your points.
I was writing a response which was just summarizing all of the issues formerly stated and then I realized I could not propose a viable solution to fix the problems.
The only thing that comes to mind as a start is more state DNR resources assigned to enforce fishing laws, management of guides and angler education.. That would require more funding increased taxes and fishing/guide license fees, political actions and you know what that means.
Lets face it there are a heck of a lot of fishing laws now on the books in each state which are not enforced.
In 43 years of trout fishing I have been checked for my fishing license and proper tackle less than 5 times and twice was in the same day in British Columbia which left me impressed thinking they had their fishery enforcement resources and methods under control. However reading the posts on this board from the BC anglers and hearing the state of some of their blue ribbon fisheries makes me reconsider if even their they have their fishery management and enforcement actions under control.
I get depressed just thinking about the lack of controls on the fisheries. Most states appear to focus their scarce fishery resources on fish management such as the hatchery operations
Hopefully after today's election things will change a little on that front. God knows we needed to send a couple people packing.

Wide receiver Braylon Edwards has had what many would consider a disappointing NFL career. The former number three overall pick had one big season with the Cleveland Browns in 2007 catching 80 passes for 1,289 yards. The rest of his time in Cleveland Edwards turned out several middling seasons never justifying his draft position. Then in 2009, after an altercation with a member of Lebron James' entourage, the Browns traded him to the New York Jets where he played through the 2010season. After yet another disappointing year in 2011, this time with the San Francisco 49ers, Edwards has again become a free agent.
Now, in hopes of catching on in South Florida, Edwards has reportedly worked out for the Miami Dolphins.

Virus and malware protection software are the kind of thing that one may forget about until something happens that shows its value. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is especially easy to ignore, despite its usefulness; I sometimes almost miss the little box that pops up in the corner of the screen that tells me that something malicious was just blocked (a little like a very small goalie).andnbsp; That's really a compliment because I don't want alarms going off and flashing icons when the software works – I just want to know that I am getting what I paid for occasionally. Other software of this type that I have used gave "false positives" with legitimate things that I used; as far as I can tell, Malwarebytes has not done this. have been using Anti-Malware Home Premium on a home computer for about three years.andnbsp; Its value to price ratio (if there is such a thing) is about the best of any purchased software that I have used. For years before that, I lived with anti-virus software alone and believed that my PC was safe.andnbsp; Something happened (cannot remember what at this point) that convinced me that anti-virus software alone was not sufficient. A web search led me to Malwarebytes and I decided to try it.andnbsp; I am glad that I did.My only concern (which may be unfounded) is that it doesn't appear to update its database as often as other software of this type. It may be that it's doing this behind the scenes, or that it does not need to update itself that often.andnbsp; Either way, I have not worried about it too much because the software seems to be doing its job very well.I have used Malwarebytes with both Norton Antivirus and AVG Internet Security and have seen no compatibility issues with either one.I would highly recommend this software. It's a small price to pay for a large amount of security.

I personally use and highly recommend that you consider purchasing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium. The incredibly low price at Amazon.com certainly can't be beat either. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium does not replace an anti-virus program though. It works like a team with your anti-virus software; protecting you against malware that your anti-virus and other Internet security software misses. As I've said before, when it comes to Internet security an ounce of prevention is indeed better than a pound of cure.More about Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Overall, I really like the idea of offloading ancillary tasks or duties that were traditionally in guest, be it backup with vStorage APIs for Data Protection or anti-virus with vShield Endpoint. I think Trend Micro and VMware have a really good set of complementary products in Deep Security and vShield Endpoint, and I hope both vendors continue to innovate in this arena. I would like to see some competing products from Symantec or the like to keep driving the industry in this area, but that we shall see.More about Trend Micro Deep Security

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium is great at removing malware, but let down a little by unreliable real-time protection. Is Premium really worth the price? We would say yes, but it's a close call. If you're interested, be sure to try before you buy.More about Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

A question if I may; I apologise for asking here but I know this is widely read and somebody may know the answer, and given the poor responses I've had in the past, I'll bet others are in the same boat.
I'm absolutely _sick_ of keeping "todo" notes in a plethora of disorganised text files. I'd love an simple, logical application where I can have categories and subcategories, and to be able to sync this between computers; mainly my desktop (Windows/Linux), my laptop (OS X), and most importantly, my PDA (Zaurus, running a modified Sharp ROM - Cacko). The one-tiered "todo" applications in standard PDA's are _too_ simple, and with the dozens of things I have on the go at a one time, they become incredibly inefficient.
I once posted a detailed request in a forum at http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7786&hl= but none of the applications suggested really did it for me. Simplicity and syncing-between-machines is the key, here; I want to easily be able to note down stuff, and have it laid out in such a way that it's actually efficient on later referencing and not a complete mess.
Surely there's something decent out there? All the solutions I find are all bulky and horrible to use, and I keep going back to the trusty-but-bloody-disorganised mess that text files are.
Shoot me an email at ryan [at] catstick.com, if you have any suggestions, please! If no such application exists, I'll start hacking on one myself, but I'm convinced there has to be many applications out there specifically targeted for this. Beats me why I can't find any...
