ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rangers CEO Nolan Ryan said safety is the club's "No. 1 concern" and that his staff is continuing to review Thursday's tragedy and how it can be prevented in the future.
"We'll do whatever we have to do to make this stadium as safe as we possibly can for our fans," Ryan said during a news conference Friday afternoon.
Ryan said he spoke to Brownwood's Jenny Stone, the widow of 39-year-old Shannon Stone, who fell over the left-field railing and landed on the concrete about 20 feet below as he caught a ball thrown to him by Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton. Stone was conscious after the fall and, according to Oakland Athletics reliever Brad Ziegler, asked paramedics to check on his 6-year-old son, Cooper.
Stone was taken to a local hospital and died Thursday night.
Replays showed the boy watching as his 6-foot-3 father stretched out to grab the ball and then fell through a gap of several feet between the left-field seats and the 14-foot-high outfield wall that has a video scoreboard on it.
City officials say the building code requires the guardrails to be at least 26 inches high. Ed Dryden, Arlington's building official, said railings throughout the park are 33 inches high.
Dryden and Jim Parajon, the city's director of community development and planning, said they made sure on Friday that the railings where Stone fell were up to code.
"It is a very tragic situation and we feel for the family of the victim," Parajon said.
Major League Baseball promised a review of the incident "to ensure a safe environment for our fans."
John McHale Jr., MLB's executive vice president of administration, said there is no centralized process for overseeing safety at ballparks and Stone's death may change that.
"I think the enormity of this tragedy requires we create a process, if there isn't one already," he said. "I think we're going to communicate as closely as we can with the Rangers to find out what happened and to share that information with the other clubs."
He said most safety issues are left to the clubs.
"There are building codes, there are local ordinances and the clubs are responsible with complying," he said. "We have a history of trying to control balls thrown in the stands centrally and I think that probably didn't work, so we rely on the clubs to make their own decisions on how that should be done or not done in their ballpark."
The accident was similar to one almost exactly a year earlier.
Tyler Morris, a firefighter from the Lake Cities Fire Department near Dallas, fractured his skull and sprained an ankle on July 6, 2010, after falling about 30 feet from the second deck of seats down the right-field line while trying to catch a foul ball.
Following that event, the Rangers studied the railings and determined they were up to code. They added signage in the aisles to warn fans to not lean on the rails.
"The fact that there's two (falls) in the last year is disturbing," Ryan said. "We're going to look into this."
Ryan said fans can sit in those same seats Friday night, but they'll see a tarp covering the gap where Stone fell to discourage fans from taking pictures out of respect to the family. A few years ago, the Rangers had a decking in that gap, but took it down because too many fans were jumping down to retrieve balls. They have not determined what they'll do in that area yet, whether it's potentially adding netting or something else.
"We'll do a study on that and we don't know what if there is anything we could do, but we're certainly open to anything we can," Ryan said.
Ryan said a ball going into the stands is part of the game and a way for players to connect with fans and make "the experience at the ballpark as memorable as possible."
However, Rangers outfielder David Murphy said he'll be very hesitant to throw balls in the stands to fans in the future.
On Thursday, Ryan was seated next to Laura Bush, who attended the game with former President George W. Bush. Ryan did not actually see Stone fall.
"I followed the ball out to left field and I was talking to Laura and looked back at here and then I heard the crowd," Ryan said. "I looked up and saw those people looking over. The Secret Service agent was sitting behind me and I turned to him and asked, 'Did you see something happen out there?' and he said, 'Yes, a person fell out of the stands,' which I felt like what happened because of the reaction I was seeing."
A wake will be held Sunday, and Stone's funeral will be held Monday at the First United Methodist Church in Brownwood, Texas. The fire department will honor Stone with a full procession, including bagpipes, trucks and the entire staff in full uniform. Several fire departments in the surrounding areas have volunteered to cover the Brownwood fire department so all of its firefighters can attend.

The final decision on the council's budget plans will be taken later this month.


text: M for momentum Marijn van Laerhoven Amsterdam Marijn van Laerhoven is given birth in Amsterdam, the Netherlands on November 3rd in 1982. In his years as a teenager, gabber house dominates the dance scene in Holland. Still too young to visit the parties he does make his first electronic music based on this genre with an old MS DOS program named Fast Tracker 2. It's not until years later that Marijn is introduced to techno. It's the continues drive that compels Marijn to return to dance floors of raves and festivals week after week. Living in the moment, totally connecting with the music, with likeminded people. As he gets more into the music; the artists and the events, Marijn starts to develop more and more musical ideas of his own. Never with the ambition to play someone's records as a DJ, but the wish to create something that's entirely his. In 2008 Marijn finally picks up his old but not forgotten hobby. Music creation. From day one with the intention to create a live act. It's to no surprise that it's love on first sight with Ableton Live. Already within a few months an opportunity arises to play for an audience at a private party. Although he's only just getting started, Marijn does play a set and people do say to appreciate his new initiative. It's the impulse that he needs to start the momentum. In the next year Marijn invests in an Apogee duet audio interface and KRK monitor speakers. Later he also buys Ableton Live Suite and the AKAI APC40 controller that totally matches with his ideas on shaping his live act. That live act is M for momentum. With a network of party people from all over Holland, Marijn is able to play M for momentum live sets at Access Live Festival - Minimaal = Maximaal stage; the Nature One festival campsite in Germany; Arnhem initiative New Dutch School and Amsterdam's EMMA. His sets exist out of nothing but improvised combinations of short clips of kick drums, bass lines, percussions, melodies and background sounds. It's exactly how he foresaw his setup two years ago, but that's two years ago. Times change. Ideas and beliefs evolve. By the end of 2010, Marijn comes to the conclusion that what was freedom has now become a limitation of his musical creativity. Early 2011 Marijn rediscovers his sound and vision. Now focusing on producing tracks rather than loops, his new productions get more character, and a more distinctive style. It's an evolution to a more grown-up sound and a brand new live set. Minimalistic yet heavy beats. Hypnotic grooves, and an unmistakably dark mysterious edge. It is this, combined with his earlier vision of live improvisation, that should make M for momentum become a live act with an identity of it's own. One with passion written all over it. <photo id=1></photo> M for momentum's tracks Ignition by M for momentum published on 2017/06/30 05:57:26 +0000 Explorer by M for momentum published on 2017/03/27 07:47:54 +0000 Adventurer by M for momentum published on 2017/03/27 07:46:31 +0000 M for momentum - Live at Crumble 08-03-2013 (opening) by M for momentum published on 2013/03/11 22:30:22 +0000 M for momentum - The Clock Keeps Ticking (2012-2013) by M for momentum published on 2012/12/07 12:17:21 +0000 M for momentum - Time Warp 2012 by M for momentum published on 2012/03/28 15:06:59 +0000 M for momentum - The Clock by M for momentum published on 2011/12/26 22:38:55 +0000 M for momentum - Bunga Bunga by M for momentum published on 2011/12/07 16:33:23 +0000 M-theory by M for momentum published on 2011/07/27 18:12:28 +0000 Droomwereld by M for momentum published on 2011/07/27 18:10:27 +0000

Stars 2, Canucks 1
[posted in full Sun 30 Jul ~2:59a]
The biggest win of Vancouver's season was the first game after the Olympic break in Calgary, where the Canucks put out a great effort and gutted out a 2-1 win. They'd need a similar effort to pull out a home win against Dallas, the highest-ranked team in the NHL when it comes to holding opponents to the lowest amount of shots. Also, this marked the first game for three of the Canucks' four deadline acquisitions. Eric Weinrich, Keith Carney, and Sean Brown all would play in this game. Mika Noronen is slated to give Alex Auld a much-needed rest sometime on the upcoming road trip.
How would it all shake out?
1st period
The Stars outshot Vancouver 8-2 in the period. Both teams were 0-for-3 on the power play.
2nd period
With Matt Cooke in the box for interference, Daniel Sedin got the puck in the Vancouver end and took it up the ice. At center, he passed to Henrik Sedin, who took it into the Dallas zone and took it through the pokecheck attempts of Sergei Zubov and managed to get a shot on the net. That shot was stopped by Marty Turco, but he tapped the rebound through on the glove side.
»» 1, VANCOUVER, shorthanded, Henrik Sedin 17 (Daniel Sedin, Mattias Ohlund) 19:35
Dallas outshot Vancouver 12-9 in the period (20-11 overall). The Stars were 0-for-2 on the power play (0-for-5) while Vancouver was 0-for-1 (0-for-4).
3rd period
Early in the period, Anson Carter rifled a shot on the net that Turco stopped. A couple minutes later, Jussi Jokinen walked the puck out from behind the net and came out to the left side, where he passed to Mike Modano near the goal line on the right side, who beat Alex Auld at an incredibly sharp angle.
»» 2, DALLAS, Mike Modano 22 (Jussi Jokinen, Jere Lehtinen) 4:36
Midway through the period, Niko Kapanen on the right side fed Antti Miettinen in the slot for a one-timer that was stopped by Auld. Later in the period with Cooke in the box for hooking, Kapanen on the right side found Modano wide open a few strides behind the left circle, where he exhibited his marksmanship by winning the game.
»» 3, DALLAS, powerplay, Modano 23 (Niko Kapanen, Lehtinen) 15:22
Dallas outshot Vancouver 13-8 in the period (33-19 total). Dallas cashed in on their only power play chance (1-for-6) while Vancouver was 0-for-1 (0-for-5). Auld stopped 31 shots.
Three stars -- (1) Dallas' Mike Modano, (2) Auld, (3) Dallas' Jere Lehtinen
skater, goals-assists-points
H Sedin 1-0-1
D Sedin 0-1-1
Ohlund 0-1-1
In the faceoff circle, Vancouver was 19-for-49 for a brutal 39%. Brendan Morrison was 6-for-15, Trevor Linden was 3-for-9, Ryan Kesler was 6-for-14, and Henrik Sedin was 4-for-10. Daniel Sedin led the team with four shots. Kesler led the team by dishing out five hits. Morrison led the team with four takeaways. Deadline acquisition Eric Weinrich led the team by blocking two shots.
On plus-minus, Mattias Ohlund, Bryan Allen, Daniel Sedin, and Henrik Sedin were plus-1. Keith Carney, Weinrich, Kesler, Jarkko Ruutu, and Todd Bertuzzi were minus-1. All other Canuck skaters were even.
The loss marked the second straight game in which the Canucks had the lead going into the third period and lost. In the three-game homestand, Vancouver came away with only one out of a possible six points. As a result, the Canucks now find themselves three points back of the division lead behind an idle Calgary team that has three games in hand. Vancouver is now 35-24-6 (3-3 shootout, three overtime losses), good for 76 points and merely third place in the Northwest Division. They are two points back of Colorado and only two points ahead of Edmonton, who has a game in hand. For a different perspective, Edmonton is the eighth-place team in the Western Conference. Nashville is only fourth because Detroit is leading their division by nine points. Also, Vancouver is seventh in the conference. I happen to think the upcoming playoffs are going to be dynamite in the West because these Northwest Division teams are battle-tested moreso than any other division under the new unbalanced schedule format. If you're Detroit and you draw Edmonton in the first round, it's not a gimmie. If you're Dallas and you draw a Colorado/Vancouver, again, not a gimmie, even considering what happened in this game.

There's a bunch of stuff going on this weekend, obviously, in the sports world. In college basketball, tons of conference tournaments are taking place. Unfortunately, the Huskies are already out of the Pac-10 tournament, but hey, there's some rest, I guess. As I type this, we're having some Puerto Rico/Cuba brushback wars, which is always fun in the international incident realm. If the World Baseball Classic gives us beanball wars, then at least there'll be some entertainment.
Either way, my job training over here is less than two weeks away from ending, after which I'll end up back in Hawaii, with sporting events taking place at times in which I'll actually be awake. Now if the NHL would archive their audio feed, I'd be in business for whenever the Canucks go on the road.
Anyway, neither one of us here at Sports and B's have ever been insistent on keeping our threads on topic, so just fire away. If you can't think of anything, there's always obscure '80s music. Apparently a coworker of mine said his high school's musical one year was Chess, which did feature the song "One Night in Bangkok."
Have a great weekend.

Predators 3, Canucks 2 (OT)
[posted in full Sun 30 Jul ~1:31a]
It's bad when you lose to teams you should beat. The Canucks found that out last Sunday night when the lowly Saint Louis Blues walked away with a sweep of the season series. The Canucks would have to buck up after three nights off to manage a win against the young and speedy Nashville Predators. In other news, this game was Todd Bertuzzi's 500th in a Canuck uniform.
Also, it was trade deadline day, and GM Dave Nonis was busy making moves. Goalie Mika Noronen was plucked from Buffalo or a second-round pick in the next draft. Defenseman Keith Carney (let the small-hands references begin) and the rights to Juha Alen (another defensemen) were obtained from Anaheim for Brett Skinner (Moose) and another second-round pick in the next draft. Defenseman Sean Brown comes over from the Devils for a third-round draft pick. Also, Tomas Mojzis and a third-round pick go to Saint Louis for the experienced defenseman Eric Weinrich. Steve McCarthy's playing time would be a bit lacking after all these defense additions, so Nonis shipped him to Atlanta for a 2007 fourth-rounder. Also of note is that Vancouver is under the salary cap, but not if Ed Jovanovski and Sami Salo come back. There's some issues if they do.
1st period
An early line of Markus Naslund, Brendan Morrison, and Matt Cooke got some decent pressure on Nashville and got a couple of decent scoring chances. Richard Park got two hacks on a puck in close, but Tomas Vokoun cleared the puck. Todd Bertuzzi set up Nolan Baumgartner for a shot that was pad-stopped by Vokoun, and Ryan Kesler was foiled on the rebound as well. Bertuzzi was later pulled down by Vokoun, but there was no call. Cooke later was stuck in the face by Scott Hartnell, but there was no call as a Vancouver power play had expired. Alex Auld made a nice stop on Jerred Smithson. Scott Nichol and Kevin Bieksa got into a fight that was over quickly when Bieksa wrestled him to the ice. Auld made a nice save on Paul Kariya. Naslund made a backhand shot that barely missed the net. The Canucks carried some nice pressure on a power play, but Morrison went off for a trip to end the advantage. Auld robbed Hartnell on a scoring chance. Dan Hamhuis and Shea Weber took penalties for the Predators late in the period, leaving Vancouver with a two-man advantage, but they did nothing with it. The Canucks outshot the Predators 8-7 in the period. Nashville was 0-for-1 on the power play while Vancouver was 0-for-4.
2nd period
Henrik Sedin on the right side passed to Daniel Sedin, who made a crazy centering pass from behind the net on the right side to find Anson Carter in the slot, who put it past Vokoun.
»» 1, VANCOUVER, Anson Carter 25 (Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin) 7:19
A few minutes later, Bryan Allen bowled over Steve Sullivan near the Nashville net. Vancouver outshot Nashville 11-7 in the period (19-14 overall). The Canucks didn't have a power play chance (0-for-4) while Nashville was 0-for-1 (0-for-2).
3rd period
Paul Kariya from behind the net passed to David Legwand on the right-wing boards, who then passed to Mike Sillinger in the high slot. Sillinger passed to Kariya down low on the goal line just to the right of the net. Auld had already fallen down on the play, so Kariya passed across to Sullivan on the left side down low, and he had an open net.
»» 2, NASHVILLE, powerplay, Steve Sullivan 27 (Paul Kariya, Mike Sillinger) 8:40
Daniel Sedin was behind the net and moved the puck out, passing to Bieksa at the blue line. Bieksa flung a shot toward the net that was redirected by Henrik Sedin mid-slot, who deflected it through.
»» 3, VANCOUVER, H Sedin 16 (Kevin Bieksa, D Sedin) 11:05
Marek Zidlicky spun away from the defender up high and fed Sillinger wide open on the left side for a shot that was nicely stopped by Auld. Just seconds later, though, icing was waved off in the Vancouver end, and Martin Erat behind the net found Sullivan on the right side, who fired a shot top corner on the far side past Auld.
»» 4, NASHVILLE, Sullivan 28 (Martin Erat, David Legwand) 14:27
Cooke laid a big hit on Greg Zanon. Mattias Ohlund had an errant pass get past him and the Predators turned it the other way as Erat and Legwand had a two-on-one. Erat threaded the puck between two Canucks and hit Legwand on the left side, who was robbed by Auld, who was prone on the ice making the save. Nashville outshot the Canucks by a ridiculous 22-7 margin in the period (36-25 overall). Vancouver again didn't get a power play chance (0-for-4) while Nashville was 1-for-2 (1-for-4).
The Canucks had the puck for a very short time after the opening faceoff, but Legwand got a hold of it and wristed it from mid-slot to beat Auld high on the stick side.
»» 5, NASHVILLE, Legwand 6 (unassisted) 0:06
Nashville had the only shot in overtime and came away with a 37-25 advantage in that category. The Predators finished 1-for-4 on the power play while Vancouver was 0-for-4. Auld stopped 34 shots.

The Canucks avenged a road loss at the hands of the Predators seven days earlier by...losing in overtime on home ice to the Predators.
In the faceoff circle, Vancouver won 27 of 56 (48%). Brendan Morrison was 10-for-16, Trevor Linden was 6-for-12, Richard Park was 0-for-3, Ryan Kesler was 3-for-8, Henrik Sedin was 7-for-12, and Todd Bertuzzi was 1-for-3. Morrison, Park, Naslund, and Daniel Sedin all led the team with three shots apiece. Matt Cooke, Jarkko Ruutu, and Bertuzzi led the team by dishing out four hits apiece. Bryan Allen and Cooke had two takeaways each. Mattias Ohlund blocked two shots.
In plus-minus, Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, and Anson Carter were plus-2. Allen and Sven Butenschon were plus-1. Ohlund, Nolan Baumgartner, and Cooke were minus-1 while Morrison and Naslund were minus-2. All other Canuck skaters were even.
Coupled with a Colorado win on this same night, this overtime loss got the Canucks a single point, but they lost a point of ground on the Avalanche. The Canucks are now 35-23-6 (3-3 shootout, three overtime losses), good for 76 points and third place in the Northwest Division (sixth in the Western Conference), two points behind Colorado and three points behind division-leading Calgary. The Flames have two games in hand on Vancouver. The Canucks have a game in hand on Colorado. Edmonton is eighth in the West and three points back of Vancouver. In addition, the win gave Nashville two more points to solidify their hold on fourth place in the West, now five points ahead of Vancouver.

Blues 4, Canucks 1
[posted in full Sat 29 Jul ~10:18p]
The 115th consecutive sellout at GM Place was on hand to watch the Canucks hopefully avoid being swept in a season series by the cellar-dwelling Saint Louis Blues. The Canucks had been embarrassed in the three previous meetings, which they lost by a combined score of 12-3. To heighten the urgency, the Northwest Division is still very tightly packed, with all teams mere points from being division winners or out of the playoffs. How would Vancouver fare?
1st period
Early on, Markus Naslund missed a goal by just inches high on the glove side of Curtis Sanford in the Saint Louis net. Not long after, Sanford nearly put the puck in his own net. In a sequence that echoed many bad Canuck starts this season, Naslund hooked Dean McAmmond skating across center, who then dished off to Jay McClement, who pushed a centering pass from the left faceoff dot to Scott Young on the doorstep, who put it through on Auld's glove side.
»» 1, SAINT LOUIS, Scott Young 13 (Jay McClement, Dean McAmmond) 2:18
Between the first goal and the next, Keith Tkachuk horsecollared Ryan Kesler and drew a high-stick penalty and Barrett Jackman cross-checked Jarkko Ruutu, giving the Canucks a two-man advantage on which they didn't score. With about nine minutes left in the period, Ryan Johnson had Alex Auld beat but shot one off the post. Auld later pokechecked Tkachuk out in front. McClement had the puck in the right-wing corner and found Jackman, who was sprinting away from Anson Carter (who had checked him into the boards just seconds earlier) and into the slot. Jackman scored through some mild traffic in front.
»» 2, SAINT LOUIS, Barrett Jackman (McClement, Dennis Wideman) 17:58
Naslund tried pulling a spin-o-rama move late in the period, but couldn't quite put the puck through. The Canucks were badly outshot 14-6 in the period. Both teams went 0-for-2 on the power play.
2nd period
Lee Stempniak nearly scored but was stopped by Auld. Right after that, Christian Backman unleashed a slapshot from the high slot that hit some inner post and went through.
»» 3, SAINT LOUIS, Christian Backman 4 (Lee Stempniak, Dallas Drake) 8:49
The Sedins and Carter worked their magic again, getting a couple of chances on Sanford that were stopped but then staying with it as Daniel Sedin from the right side found Carter on the stick side of Sanford, who went top shelf as he drew a high stick on the play.
»» 4, VANCOUVER, Anson Carter 24 (Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin) 16:41
Inside the final minute, Sanford withstood a small flurry of shots and made a bigtime save on Carter. The Blues outshot the Canucks 11-10 in the period (25-16 overall). The Blues were 0-for-2 on the power play (0-for-4 overall) while the Canucks never had a power play in the period.
3rd period
To help the Canucks' cause, Richard Park drew five and ten for checking from behind. With the resulting five-minute power play almost over, Trevor Linden couldn't quite clear the puck, resulting in the Blues working the puck for another chance as McClement passed to Tkachuk on the goal line on the right side, who centered to Stempniak, who put the puck into a wide-open net on Auld's stick side.
»» 5, SAINT LOUIS, powerplay, Stempniak 11 (Keith Tkachuk, McClement) 11:49
Later, Todd Bertuzzi and Tkachuk got into a fight. Further on in the period, the Canucks had a goal waved off. Carter said a shot hit his shoulder and he didn't bat it to anyone with his hand, then the goal went in, but Kerry Fraser didn't think so and waved it off. Saint Louis outshot the Canucks one last time at 10-8 (35-24 total). They were 1-for-2 (1-for-6 total) on the power play while Vancouver was 0-for-2 (0-for-4). Auld stopped 31 shots.

Congratulations to the Canucks, who were swept in a four-game series by possibly the worst team in the NHL this season, the Saint Louis Blues.
In the faceoff circle, the Canucks won 29 of 57 (51%). Brendan Morrison was 11-for-18, Trevor Linden was 4-for-6, Ryan Kesler was 7-for-13, Henrik Sedin was 5-for-15 (ouch), and Todd Bertuzzi was 2-for-3. Anson Carter led the team in shots with five while Bryan Allen and Henrik Sedin had three apiece. Matt Cooke and Kevin Bieksa led the team in hits by dishing out three each. Markus Naslund and Kesler led with three takeaways. Sven Butenschon led with four blocked shots, and Allen also blocked three.
On the plus-minus list, only Henrik Sedin and Butenschon were plus skaters, and both were plus-1. As for the minuses, Morrison, Naslund, Kesler, Cooke, Bieksa, Steve McCarthy, and Carter were all minus-1. Nolan Baumgartner and Allen were minus-2. All other Canuck skaters were even.
The Calgary Flames had the night off, and the Canucks missed a chance to tie them atop the Northwest Division. The loss dropped them to 35-23-5 (3-3 shootout, two overtime losses), good for 75 points, two back of the Flames, who now have three games in hand, so the lead's effectively a lot bigger than just two points. The Canucks are a mere one point ahead of Colorado and three up on Edmonton within the division. Edmonton is currently eighth in the Western Conference. Vancouver is fifth. Nashville is fourth, and they travel to face Vancouver on Thursday.

Just got news of this as it appears the Seahawks have signed up Shaun Alexander for a very, very long time. Eight years and $62M, per the AP wire. Mike Sando of the Tribune says a deal is in place.
Well, the Ruskell/Reinfeldt/Holmgren triumvirate has decided that Shaun Alexander is a big part of their plans for the next few years, NFL labor uncertainty be damned. For as much as we've been hearing about how uncertain the labor situation is right now, I'd have to say this is a pretty gutsy and risky move. But hey, ITIT, right?
Guess what, fans? Another superstar has stayed in town. Ray Allen signed long-term last summer, and now Shaun Alexander. It's a weird feeling considering everyone the Mariners had let go.
Now let's see what happens with the rest of the Seahawks' free agents. Jamie Sharper and Andre Dyson have already been cut loose. I've never looked more forward to the NFL Draft as I have these last couple years too.
Anyway, they got the deal done. Shaun's in the fold, and that's a good start to the offseason.

Planning Your Trip
If your plan is to fly to Montana on a commercial airline we recommend that you make reservations as soon as possible once you have firm river dates. You'll want to fly into Montana the day before your first scheduled river day arriving in the afternoon.
Here are some flight scenarios in order of preference:
1) You can fly into Helena and out of Great Falls.
2) You can fly into Missoula and out of Great Falls.
3) You can fly in and out of Great Falls.
4) You can fly in and out of Missoula.
5) You can fly into Missoula and out of Helena.
When you arrive you will be greeted by one of our crew at the airport and we will make the drive to White Sulphur Springs. There will be a room waiting for you at a hotel. The following morning we will begin our 60-mile expedition about 9a.m.
On the last day of the trip we usually plan to get off the river between 1 and 3 in the afternoon. Once off the river at the Eden Bridge take-out, we are 1 hour from Great Falls, 2 hours from Helena, and about 3 hours from Missoula. Most of our guests make reservations to stay overnight in either Helena or Great Falls after their last day on the river and fly home the following day.
We recommend you make reservations in Great Falls at the Best Western Heritage Inn (406-761-1900), or in Helena by calling the Wingate Inn (406-449-3000). All have excellent accommodations and a shuttle service to the airport. If, however, you will be driving and want your car waiting for you when you get off the river, we can arrange to have it shuttled for you.
THERE ARE MID-LATE AFTERNOON FLIGHTS OUT OF GREAT FALLS, WHICH CAN GET YOU HOME THE SAME DAY THAT YOU GET OFF THE RIVER. Most people, however, prefer to overnight at a hotel and have a nice shower before getting on the plane.
Weight and size are important considerations on our trips. Think of your gear in terms of two separate groups. The first group is gear that is packed away on our large cargo boats each day and goes down ahead of the fishing boats to the evening campsite.
This gear should consist of a sleeping bag and one large, soft duffel that contains your clothing and other personal items. We will provide you with a rubberized "dry-bag" to protect this duffel. Hard sided duffels will not go inside the dry-bags (this includes bags like Simms duffels with handles and wheels.) If you choose to fly with hard sided luggage be prepared to repack into the dry-bag for your time on the river. Your luggage will be waiting for you at the end of the trip.
Montana Flyfishing Connection provides an extra-long, extra-wide Therma Rest air mattress and comfortable cot for each guest.The second group of gear, which you will have with you on the fishing boat each day, should consist of a small duffel or backpack and your fishing gear. In the small duffel you'll want to carry such items as your rain gear, a light sweater and jacket, camera, binoculars, sunscreen, and fly-vest. An extra rod is welcome but not necessary since each boat is always equipped with one.
Lightweight chest waders are generally all that are necessary on the Smith. The river is easy to wade, but felt-soled boots are imperative. Most of our guests wet-wade after the 15th of June in a pair of shorts, or lightweight pants and wading shoes. But bring waders just in case we have inclement weather. Studded wading boots (corkers) will not be allowed in the boats.
Regardless of when your trip is booked, long underwear, wool socks, warm hat and gloves should be included in your gear. In fact, don't come without them!
Equipment List
First a few words of wisdom. "Having the right tool for the job" makes any task easier and more enjoyable. The same goes for preparing for a big trip. Start preparing and organizing now!
Your rain jacket and waders are absolutely the most critical gear for your trip. If you have not invested in quality outer gear yet, this is the year to do it. It only takes one day of cold rain in a cheap rain jacket or leaky waders to make you miserable. Simms and Patagonia are both great brands.

Here is a final checklist of things you should bring with you on the expedition, which will help ensure you of a good time.
- Long underwear
- 1 mid-weight top & bottom
- 1 light-weight top and bottom
- 1 pair polar fleece pants 1 fleece or "Windstopper" type vest
- 1 warm jacket (even in July)
- 3-5 pair warm socks, expedition weight, mid-weight, etc. (My feet are always cold. Polar fleece socks, wool socks, silk socks, whatever it takes for warm feet.)
- 1 fishing shirt mid-weight, long sleeve
- 1 pair pants (jeans, canvas, etc.) for camp wear
- 1 pair shorts (lightweight, quick drying, use for bath)
- 1 fleece or "Windstopper" type vest
- 1 quality rain jacket (Gore-Tex)
- Gore-Tex waders
- 1 or 2 pair light-weight fishing pants
- 2 fishing shirts, light-weight, long sleeve
- 1 pair boots, wading (non-spike)
- 1 pair waterproof shoes or boots (camp)
- 1 pair sandals (for shower or river bathing)
- 1 pair gravel guards (optional)
- 1 wide brim hat, fishing
- 1 polar fleece / wool cap
- 1 pair gloves, cold weather
- 1 pair gloves, fingerless
- Warm sleeping bag
- Small inflatable pillow
- Sport towel & wash cloth
- Lightweight duffel (A soft bag or duffel bag up to 12" around or loosely packed so that it can be stuffed into our dry bags).
- Day pack, waterproof for gear you might need on the river. (You will carry this with you each day.)
- Toilet kit (small)
- Flashlight or headlight with extra batteries
- Heavy drawstring trash bags (2)
- "Huggies" or other brand sanitary wipes. (great for the latrine or a quick "sponge bath")
- Hand sanitizer
- Clothesline & pins (20' of nylon cord and 10 clothes pins) (optional)
- Camera with extra battery (optional)
- Small binoculars (optional)
- Sunscreen, insect repellant, polarized sunglasses
- Personal spirits (beer and wine are provided)
- Fishing gear: The most versatile rod to use in Montana is a 9 foot 6-weight medium or fast action rod with a weight-forward or floating fly line. If you'd like to bring more rods, no problem. We also provide all the flies you will need for the river but you are more than welcome to bring your own selection.
Having listed all of the above, please try to keep as light and compact as possible due to limited space on the rafts.
Fishing License
Please purchase your license online before you arrive.
This can be done at https://app.mt.gov/Als/Index.
I only mention this because it is by far my most frequently asked question. The tips that you provide for the staff will be pooled and split equally among the crew. A general rule is about 10% of the cost of the trip, so that usually computes to $300 - $350 per angler. If you feel that one of the staff really went above and beyond for you, you are of course welcome to address that separately. I am more than happy to collect checks or add an amount on your credit card, but tips are always easier distributed in cash. That may be something you want to plan for before you depart.
We are really looking forward to sharing the Smith River with you! Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

The Mavalli Tiffin Rooms are an institution. Not just a Bangalore institution either. People come from all over the world to eat at "MTR" as it's called. At most places in Bangalore, if there's a line (yes, it's called a queue here. I'm from the US, I'm going to use US terms till I get assimilated.) people will just go some place else. At MTR even locals willingly line up and wait for hours. MTR started in 1924 with the restaurant, but now is known even more for their line of prepared foods. So this could be like going to "The Rice-a-Roni restaurant" but I don't think locals would line up for hours to visit some over-the-hill brand-identified over marketed has been tourist trap, would they?
I don't know for certain if they would but I certainly wouldn't, and I will be back to the Mavalli Tiffin Room. We ate at some of the fanciest five-star hotel restaurants, some of the most recommended "name" restaurants in Bangalore while were were there, and the most memorable meal was here.
You start downstairs at the iron barred cashier's cage. After deciding if the chalkboard written menu of the day suits your taste, you pay up front a fixed cost per person and get your receipt. Upstairs is a large waiting room, filled with people sitting on benches and a lone gatekeeper at a podium next to the door to the main dining area. Occasionally he calls out a number or series of numbers, and people file in to be seated on plastic chairs at marble topped tables. We wait in this picturesque waiting area for almost an hour, watching a stream of different people come in and occasionally enter the dining area. It's fascinating people watching, and I only wish I knew more about how to recognize their differences and similarities. Everyone is polite, there is no crowding or complaining (though my friend and co-worker from Bangalore who's our guide for the afternoon informs me that people are cheating. They slip in with other groups even though they have not yet been called. I am amused.)
Finally we are allowed in. As we are led to our table I notice the basins for washing your hands, and the rows of shiny stainless steel buckets holding the food we're about to be served. The three of us are seated at a table for eight, along with a family of three NRI (non-resident Indians) from London who have made the pilgrimage to MTR. The son peppers his father with questions about "is this how it was when you came here?" It's clear that they're as excited as we are to be here. We sit down and a stamped stainless steel plate with various indentations is placed in front of each of us.
The parade of food begins. Servers circulate precisely between the tables, following the same route. Each one carries a bucket, and dishes it up precisely with no nonsense. First a silver tumbler of sweet juice - tangerine? Then a spoonful of potato curry seasoned with black mustard. It reminds me of the potato curry inside masala dosa, but wetter. Then in quick succession a green chutney, a dry vegetable dish (cabbage with coconut and white sesame), anther dry vegetable dish of carrots and dal, and a poori.
Next comes a small side dish with a fried dumpling in a salty yogurt, and a famous local rice dish whose name I've shamefully forgotten that was both tart and pungent, served with a scoop of yogurt with diced red onion over it. A crispy yellow hard fried sweet "pretzel" that had been soaked in sugary syrup was placed on each of our plates by the dhoti clad server, and before we could finish it, a scoop of pristine white rice. This had ghee drizzled on it, and then a scoop of vegetable curry. I thought I was going to burst. To top it off, two more scoops of rice, one we were told to make an indentation for rasam (a soup) and the other for curds (like thick chunky yogurt). Both were delicious and a welcome complement to the other flavors.
Finally to end there was a dish of fruit salad topped with ice cream and a cherry. As we were wondering if there was any more to come, we got our answer. The server placed a cellophane packet with paan at each of our places. Our local friend told us that in the past MTR had let people in the front, but they exited out the rear through the kitchen - something that was unheard of at the time, but MTR had wanted to display the uncharacteristic cleanliness of their kitchens. This was no longer needed - their reputation had been long established by now - but we still exited through the kitchen to take a peek.
I regret not getting a photo of the chalkboard menu, and we still need to experience their breakfast dosa. We also avoided the nearby MTR supermarket, all of which lacks will be repaired on a future visit, because we will be back!

Giro d'Italia: Removing Belfast terror murals a 'is just hiding our sectarian behaviour'
REMOVING sectarian murals and flags along the route of the Giro d'Italia would be like a "dysfunctional family who want to hide their behaviour when visitors come calling", it has been claimed.
Sporting attention will be on Northern Ireland when the Giro d'Italia international cycle race rolls into town in May.
The Giro is expected to be watched by up to 800m TV viewers, but there are fears that the image of Northern Ireland will be damaged when viewers see riders cycling past paramilitary murals and flags.
That concern prompted Alliance MLA Anna Lo to call for sectarian symbols to be removed from the route.
"Funding will be made available in towns along the route to improve the image of eyesores such as derelict buildings but I have a bigger problem with images of paramilitary gunmen," said the European election candidate.
"Do we really want these images to be visible on the route when millions of people will be watching the race on television?"
Yesterday, the new chairman of the Community Relations Council Peter Osborne said the real need is not to simply hide the behaviour, but to change it.
"We all know that murals and flying flags on lamp posts can be intimidating and used to mark out territory," said Mr Osborne (left), the former Parades Commission chairman.
"While welcoming the idea of removing murals and flags from lamp posts on the route of the Giro d'Italia, it does remind me of a dysfunctional family who want to hide their behaviour when visitors come calling.
"I understand why there are calls to remove the flags and emblems and murals on the race route. Something is better than nothing.
"But for many people these things are an everyday reality not just on the route of the Giro d'Italia."
There have already been calls for European election posters to be removed during the race.
Ms Lo said: "The very same arguments that politicians have been making about taking down election posters to showcase Northern Ireland and our beautiful scenery, also applies to flags and paramilitary murals."
The Giro d'Italia is a long distance road bicycle race for professional cyclists that runs over three weeks. The Grande Partenza ('Big Start') section will take place from May 9-11, 2014, and involves routes through Belfast, the Causeway Coast and Armagh before moving on to Dublin. More than 200 of the top professional cyclists from across the globe will be in Northern Ireland to take part.

According to the story, Minthe was a beautiful water nymph who attracted the attention of Hades. Hades was the stern ruler of the Greek Underworld and the husband of the goddess Persephone. It seems, however, that even Persephone's obvious charms could not keep the attention of Hades at all times. The Underworld god therefore engaged in an illicit - but not terribly well hidden - affair with the Naiad Minthe.
Naturally, Persephone found out about the relationship between her husband and the water nymph. And in a scenario that is all too familiar in Greek myth, the spurned wife took revenge on her husband's mistress. Minthe became the unfortunate object of Persephone's wrath. The goddess of the Underworld began to step on Minthe, beating the poor Naiad with furious kicks. Minthe however was transformed into the mint plant, and with each tread of Persephone's foot, this plant released a delightful scent. This is the myth of how the aromatic mint plant received its name.
It is worth mentioning that there is an intriguing reference to the transformation of Minthe in the Metamorphoses of Ovid (Book X, line 729 ff.).
The name Minthe is sometimes spelled Menthe by some writers.

Mutually Assured Dating
'You were singing really loudly in the shower when I broke into your apartment but then i heard you slip and crash and oh god i should probably check on you in case i get done for murder instead of just robbery' AU
It took all of fourteen seconds for Derek to realize he was in the wrong apartment.
First, he noticed the very large and scuffed up sneakers and boots ditched haphazardly kind of near the door but half into the living room. Cora was meticulous about her shoes and kept them neatly arranged in a shoe rack right next to the door. The only time they touched the floor was when her feet were in them.
Second, the stuff. There was so much stuff everywhere; clothes thrown over the back of the couch, dishes across the coffee table and all over the kitchen counters, books on every surface, a gaming console dragging wires across the floor and surrounded by games, in cases and out of them. Cora was an unintentional minimalist, in that she threw out anything she didn't need and lacked a single sentimental bone in her body. Derek and Laura regularly made trips to wherever she lived to save family keepsakes and memories from her ruthless cleaning sprees.
Then he noticed the manly warble coming from somewhere deeper in the apartment, and Cora's favorite topic of rant floated lazily to the forefront of his mind.
—but my neighbor, oh my god this guy! I'm going to kill him if I ever see him in the hall! His bathroom shares a wall with my bedroom and he sings in the shower, every shower, at all hours. Literally all hours, like 4am, and he only sings Christmas carols at 4am. I've had Jingle Bells stuck in my head for a week!
Shoes, stuff, singing.
This was not Cora's apartment.

Website: Blacklawyersforjustice.org
On November 3, 2007 a historic National March will take place in Charleston, West Virginia. This call to action is to support young Megan Williams, who is the victim of one of the worst hate crimes in United States history. The March is also called to address an unacceptable rise in hate crimes and incidents of injustices currently perpetrated against Blacks or African Americans. On September 12, 2007, and in subsequent preliminary hearings, it was revealed that Megan Williams, a twenty year old Black Woman, was lured into a nearby Logan county trailer house of hatred. Young Megan, who also has special disability needs, was repeatedly raped, choked, stabbed, forced to eat dog and rat feces as her six white tormentors berated her calling her "nigger" incessantly. According to evidence gathered, Megan was sodomized with a stick and a noose was tied around her neck for lengthy periods during this week long ordeal that is verified by several of co-defendants signed confessions. This is an this ugly and outrageous ordeal. Prosecutors said. "Every time they stabbed her, they called her 'nigger." Carmen Williams, the mother, told The Charleston Gazette. "She wakes up in the middle of the night screaming, 'Mommy.' What's really, really bad is, we don't know everything, and they did to her. She is crying all the time." No doubt, had she not been rescued they were going to kill her and throw her in a nearby lake.
Arrested are: Frankie Brewster, 49, and her son Bobby Brewster, 24., Karen Burton, 46; her daughter Alisha, 23; Danny Combs, 20, and George Messer, 27 –six whites from nearby Logan County, West Virginia. The suspects took turns beating, stabbing, choking and sexually abusing Williams, while consistently threatening her with death, according to criminal complaints. A rope was placed around Williams' neck, her hair was ripped out and she was made to eat dog and rat feces, drink from a toilet and lick up blood, the complaint charges. At one point, she was sexually assaulted while scalding water and melting hot wax from a candle was poured on her body. At another point she was forced to lick the toes of the sadistic defendants. She was stabbed in the leg at least four times and both of her ankles were cut by a female suspect who allegedly taunted her, saying, "This one is for Kunta Kinte, and that's what we do to niggers around here."
"The Megan Williams case is beyond a doubt, one of the worst hate crimes in U.S. History. The Megan Williams case is even worse than the case of the Jena 6"…said Attorney Malik Shabazz Esq., Megan Williams Family Attorney and Spokesman for Black Lawyers For Justice, speaking at the October 3rd preliminary hearing in Logan County, West VA.
Shabazz also said, "The number of outright hate crimes and injustice cases against Blacks is rising so rapidly it's hard for our office to keep track of. We are calling for every concerned person in our community to respond to this national crisis with vigor and due diligence. The November 3rd March in Charleston is a big step in the direction of organizing to challenge the tide of attacks occurring against Blacks".
In addition to the Megan Williams case, criminal acts of hatred and intimidation using hanging nooses have sprung up all over the nation. The hanging noose, central to the Jena case, is used by racists as an actionable threat to the safety and well being of Blacks, who have suffered innumerable historical injustices via hanging ropes and lynchings. On Sept 7th, a three foot noose was found hung at the University of Maryland, College Park, roiling the campus. On October 4th, the Pittsburgh Tribune Review reported that police were investigating several cases in which nooses were left at workplaces to intimidate black employees in the Pittsburgh area. The Tribune reported, "a supervisor at the Verizon Wireless Business Services Center in Marshall found a black doll with a noose around its neck and racial slurs directed at it." Several similar hate crime incidents have been reported in the Pittsburgh area in the last month. In Long Island, New York last month, police found a noose hanging in the locker room. Many believed it was hung by a police officer and was in response to the newly elected Black police chief. Last month, in North Carolina, nooses were found hung at a public school. On October 3rd in Washington D.C., white students and historical Galluadet University for the deaf, reportedly held a Black student hostage for over an hour and repeatedly wrote "KKK" all over his body with markers. All over the U.S., Police assaulting and killing unarmed Black victims is on the rise again.
The November 3rd National March against Hate Crimes is also an effort to end the continued persecution of the Jena 6. Mychal Bell and the Jena 6 are still facing jail after responding to racist persecution at the High school in Jena, Louisiana. Also the addresses and phone numbers of the Jena 6 Families were posted on Neo-Nazi/Klan websites, subsequently, white supremacists have committed acts of aggression near their homes and BLFJ has copies of letters from various Ku Klux Klan organizations directly threatening the Jena 6 families. Members of the Jena 6 are endorsing and are expected at this march.
Over 100 organizations, student groups, youth organizations, clergy, rappers, and leaders are set to endorse the November 3rd March (a list will be released on 10/15/07) Like in Jena, organizers going to get busses, travel the highway and organize to support Megan Williams and organize against these attacks.
Friday November 2nd 7:00 pm: A pre march remembrance/ prayer vigil will take place at the Logan County trailer home where Megan Williams was kidnapped and tortured
Saturday November 3rd 12:00 noon: National March against Hate Crimes, Charleston, West VA. March will begin in front of West Virginia State University.
Saturday November 3rd 5:00 pm: Fundraiser for Megan Williams and Town Hall Meeting on Race Relations to take place at Rehoboth Cathedral of Christ in Charleston, West Virginia- Bishop James Carter III is the host pastor.

Al Sharpton has clearly lost any since of rational thought if he believes the American Public will just blindly believe any thing he says.
This whole case is a perfect example of Al Sharpton's loss of credibility. The case is this, a ring leader who has a documented criminal history gathered up five of his thugs and committed a horrible race-based hate crime of attempted murder. What does Sharpton do? He sees a spotlight and jumps into it, and his thoughtless masses follow him off the cliff.
I personally know of someone who was kicked to death with "tennis shoes" after being knocked unconscious so yes this was attempted murder. And even a blind man can clearly see it is a hate crime based on race! Where is justice? I don't know but I can tell you that Al Sharpton has spent so much of his life skewing the truth that he is unable to see it even when it keeps jumping up in his face. Sharpton now says that because Bell violated his parole by beating ANOTHER person and has to serve time that the Judge is being unfair. Wake up dude! Next he'll be saying that this was all justified because three months before some other kids hung a noose from a tree! Oh, that's right, he's already said that! What a blind fool Al Sharpton is. To suggest that is the same as saying Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. deserved to be killed for expressing his views! What those teenagers did with the nooses may have been in poor taste but it was still a peaceful expression of free speech.
The black community needs leaders that are present, out of the '60 and in this century. What I'm saying is the American population is not anywhere as simple as Al Sharpton thinks we are, it's so insulting that he is his own biggest enemy. It's time to move on and stop playing the race card only to your advantage.

Is anyone else tired of anytime some black thug is caught breaking the law and gets caught, arrested and jailed its the lawyers are always so quick to say it's because the thug is black and it's racial. I'm tired of it. Just like those that think that Michael Vick is being a "victim" of the system. Michael Vick is just a thug, just like the kids in the jena 6.I think that beating a white kid is just as much a hate crime and should be treated as such. I am so tired of the race card being pulled everytime a crook is caught and they happen to be black, hispanic or whatever.

Is there anything in this post about Al Sharpton? You tell on yourself by ranting an raving about an individual because you can't deal with the issue, since you know the truth is not on your side.
Nice how you skip over Megan Williams and the white thugs who raped in tortured her without a word of you viciousness against them.
And nice of you to be a coward or cowards, posting annonymously.

Hey Yoshi or what ever your anonymous name is,
You called me a coward when I posted talking about Al Sharpton's loss of direction, which is clear to see. He always tries to claim racism when in fact it is his own racism that everyone can see.
Anyway, you spoke of a story about a terrible crime the Megan Williams murder. Do you feel it didn't receive the proper attention in the media?
Welcome to our world! No, we're not the "squeaky wheel" who gets all the oil, we are the silent majority. And I'm here to tell you that what Al and his flunkies are doing is not to the benefit of black people, it is actually helping motivate the white majority to action. When such clearly skewed truths are thrown around like fact with such full media coverage, any rational person is forced to make a decision on his credibility, and that of the mainstream media. Keep it up, we need a little kick to get moving.
Oh yea, if you want to see how the media is skewed strongly against the white man look up the story of the Newsome/Christian murders, where's the coverage? If they had been black we would still be hearing about it. Feel free to verify it at snops.com with this link.

man i all u white people need serious help because if you were in our shoes u would konw how we feel. But now a days we have it hard out here in this horrible world but all i have to say is life goes on and u guys need to except us blacks for blacks. And martin luther king was a good leader and you guys are just hating because he was a good leadder and u guys are some no good dirty dogs. And thats what life is all about because all u guys want to do is call somebody a nigga but if you come in the hood over here in atlanta you would get shot for calling so mebody a nigga. I bet some of you whites wish we were still yyall slaves but god is going to see this jena 6 thing a way and u beter trust me caus ei know and the good lord told me so!

Heya Chow'nders,
So in three days of Fringing I've tanked up three times and seen seven plays. Friday I saw Zombies (great physical performance) and Richard 3, Queens 4 (hmmm) and had dinner at Bar Mercurio, which was definitely the highlight of the evening. Lovely food (the duck pappardelle was great, as was the lemon tart for dessert), charming low-key service, and a pretty room with an open kitchen (I love watching the performances in an open kitchen). I'll go back there again fer sher.
Saturday I saw Stealing Venus (very funny -- that dude's like a hairy Merle Streep), the Burning Bush (eh, the Tepid Shrub, more like) and The Lab (awesome, freaky-awesome) but ended up having a McSushi dinner at New Generation Sushi. Their sushi rice was bland, like they'd forgotten the sugar and vinegar, but the rest was OKish enough, and it was fast, which is what we needed. Also, we got a 14% discount for siting at the sushi bar, which is my favourite place to sit anyway, so that was cool -- more money for plays and the beer tent.
Sunday was a light day -- just two plays, Crook Back Dicky (crazy-good, emphasis on crazy) and the Excursionists (giddy, goofy good fun) but had dinner at the chow-recommended Double Happiness. Yowzah! I had the ramen soup with slices of pork and mysterious white and pink-swirled slices, and it was lovely. It also came with a little banana fritter that was all sugary, greasy goodness. The total bill was less than $7 -- gotta give that a five-star review!
...six more days of chowing on theatre -- yummmm!

Fall. The summer roller coaster rides have ended, and you leave the theater, stuffed with popcorn, a bit queasy. It's time for something quieter, something of substance. The 2006 fall movie season has that in spades. The guy movies are slightly smarter, the chick flicks are slightly longer and biopics suddenly start appearing
from every corner. Family films jostle for "Cars"-like success, as each and every movie battles for a golden Oscar nomination.
Note: All dates are subject to change.
It's a good time to be a guy. We've got boxers, detectives, kung fu masters and James Bond.
The Black Dahlia
Brian De Palma's big-screen version of James Ellroy's novel is less literate than "L.A. Confidential," and with a less dazzling cast, but it's far more lurid, punchy and personal. Two ex-boxers (Josh Hartnett and Aaron Eckhart) try to solve the (partially factual) case of a murdered would-be actress (Mia Kershner). Hillary Swank and Scarlett Johansson co-star. It's one of the year's best films. (Sept. 15)
Casino Royale
The fall's must-see movie. Martin Campbell ("Goldeneye") updates the first Ian Fleming novel. Will Daniel Craig join the ranks of Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan as one of the great James Bonds, or will he sink into parody like Timothy Dalton or George Lazenby? (Nov. 17)
The Departed
Martin Scorsese adapts Andrew Lau and Alan Mak's great Hong Kong film "Infernal Affairs" (2002) about an undercover cop infiltrating the mob and a gangster infiltrating the police department. Jack Nicholson signs on with Scorsese for the first time, and Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon co-star. (Oct. 6)
For the first time since leaving Hong Kong for Hollywood, Jet Li is teamed with a Hong Kong director who can keep up with him. Ronny Yu ("The Bride with White Hair") helms this biopic about Chinese martial arts master Huo Yuanjia (1869-1910). "Fearless" has already opened big in China and Hong Kong;it should be at least as good, if not better than, "Hero." (Sept. 22)
Flags of Our Fathers
Clint Eastwood unveils his first war movie since "Heartbreak Ridge" (1986), though this one, a story of Iwo Jima, is a great deal more serious. Next year, Eastwood will follow up with "Letters from Iwo Jima," a second feature told from the Japanese point of view. (Oct. 20)
OTHER PICKS: "Renaissance" (Sept. 29), "Killshot" (Oct. 20) and "The Prestige" (Oct. 20).
Fall comedies tend to be a little less like "Little Man" and more like "Little Miss Sunshine." Here are some of the most promising.
For Your Consideration
Christopher Guest ("This Is Spinal Tap," "Best in Show") checks in with his fifth faux documentary, this one spoofing movie awards-season buzz — just in time for real-life awards-season buzz. His usual cast of misfits is on board, plus Ricky Gervais, Bob Balaban and Claire Forlani. (Nov. 22)
Running with Scissors
Augusten Burroughs' hilarious collection of comical, autobiographical essays becomes a new comedy-drama, starring Annette Bening, Alec Baldwin, Gwyneth Paltrow, Evan Rachel Wood and Joseph Cross as young Augusten. (Oct. 20)
School for Scoundrels
Billy Bob Thornton continues to milk his new comic sourpuss image as a manly-man who teaches wimps how to seduce women by becoming outlaws. Todd Phillips ("Old School," "Starsky & Hutch") directs, hopefully with the same gleeful naughtiness. (Sept. 29)
Tenacious D in 'The Pick of Destiny'
Jack Black's real-life rock band Tenacious D plays a fictitious rock band called Tenacious D in this road-trip comedy. The newly-formed duo attempts to steal a magical guitar pick. It's gotta be better than "Nacho Libre," right? (Nov. 17)
Deck the Halls
Lately, Christmas comedies have ventured into the land of Christmas turkeys ("Surviving Christmas," anything with Tim Allen, etc.). But there's hope for this one: Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick play neighbors who try to outdo each other's electric holiday decorations. (Nov. 22)
OTHER PICKS: "Man of the Year" (Oct. 13), "Borat" (Nov. 3), "Stranger Than Fiction" (Nov. 10) and "Sleeping Dogs Lie." (TBD)
As summer ends, romantic comedies usually give way to weepy dramas and British costume pics. Fortunately, there are some alternatives.
Marie Antoinette
Sofia Coppola's follow-up to her great "Lost in Translation" did not fare very well during its Cannes debut, but it still could be the fall's most beautiful film. Kirsten Dunst stars as the young queen of France. (Oct. 20)
Penelope Cruz stars in her third film with director Pedro Almodovar. In his new film — the title of which translates to "Return" — a mother's ghost visits her daughters to attain the closure denied to her in life. (Nov. 22)
The Holiday
Writer-director Nancy Meyers ("Something's Gotta Give") strikes chick-flick gold with her romantic comedy cast: Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black, Rufus Sewell and Edward Burns. Some of them fall in love and some of them will be kooky sidekicks. (Dec. 8)
The Good German
If you're looking for potential Oscar nom-
inees, look no further than Steven Soder-
bergh's adaptation of Joseph Kanon's novel. A reporter returns to post-war Germany to find his mistress and is lured into a deadly mystery. Oscar-winners George Clooney and Cate Blanchett star. (Dec. 8)
Little Children
Actor-turned-director Todd Field builds on his smashing directorial debut "In the Bedroom" with this adaptation of a novel by Tom Perrotta ("Election"). A cast of Oscar hopefuls (Jennifer Connelly, Kate Winslet, etc.) plays a series of married couples whose lives cross in various, desperate ways.
(Oct. 6)
OTHER PICKS: "The Last Kiss" (Sept. 15), "Infamous" (Oct. 13), "The Queen" (Oct. 13), "Babel" (Oct. 20) and "A Good Year" (Nov. 10).
This fall promises more computer-animated films mixed with some genuinely promising items; now movies are less about energy and more about imagination.
Happy Feet
The great Australian director George Miller hits the big screen for the first time since his 1998 classic "Babe: Pig in the City." In this computer-animated musical, emperor penguins communicate and mate through song. One penguin is born without the ability to sing, but he makes up for it by tap-dancing. Robin Williams, Hugh Jackman, Elijah Wood, Nicole Kidman and Brittany Murphy provide voices. (Nov. 17)
An honest-to-goodness live-action family drama that will have little girls dreaming of owning their own ponies. Alison Lohman stars as a girl who tries to tame a wild horse. It's based on the 1941 novel by Mary O'Hara, also filmed in 1943 as "My Friend Flicka." (Oct. 20)
Flushed Away
This is almost guaranteed to have its share of bodily-function jokes, but it comes from Aardman Animations, the home of "Wallace & Gromit," "Chicken Run" and other favorites. A ritzy, conceited rat accidentally winds up in the London sewers and must adapt to his new environment. (Nov. 3)
Terry Gilliam's modern, reportedly bizarre updating of "Alice in Wonderland" may be too grotesque for younger viewers, but it promises some memorable visuals. (Oct. 20)
OTHER PICKS: "Stormbreaker" (Oct. 6), "Night at the Museum" (Dec. 22), "Lassie" (TBD)
For some reason, the fall art house movies buck the trend of polite, middlebrow award-contenders and venture into the realm of the truly subversive.
A Film About the Pixies
The Roxie will open this documentary/concert movie about arguably the greatest rock 'n' roll band of all time. Frank Black (a.k.a. Black Francis), Kim Deal and the others bash out their greatest tunes for all to hear. (Sept. 29)
Mutual Appreciation
Thanks to aggressive adoration from film critics, Andrew Bujalski's amazing debut feature, "Funny Ha Ha," was eventually rescued from oblivion and distributed. Now the Red Vic opens his follow-up, another drama of disaffected ennui so funny it's disturbing. (Sept. 29)
This Film Is Not Yet Rated
Oscar-nominated documentarian Kirby Dick ("Sick," "Twist of Faith") unveils a much-needed exposé on the ultra-secretive Motion Picture Ratings Board and its shady dealings that extend — frighteningly — much farther than just the movies. (Sept. 15)
Fast Food Nation
Along with the summer's "A Scanner Darkly," Richard Linklater offers a twofer with this fiction film based on the nonfiction book by Eric Schlosser. Cheeseburgers may become the greatest movie villains since Darth Vader or Enron. (Nov. 17)
49 Up
Yep. Another seven years have passed and Michael Apted revisits his legendary ongoing documentary series, begun when his British subjects were just seven years old. (Oct. 6)
The maker of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," John Cameron Mitchell, has already raised hackles with his sex-drenched second feature, the story of several outcasts who meet and sleep with each other at an underground salon. (Oct. 6)
OTHER PICKS: "Edmond"(Sept. 15), "Jimmy and Judy" (Sept. 15), "The Science of Sleep" (Sept. 22), "American Hardcore" (Oct. 6) and "Old Joy" (Oct. 20).

Steven Tyler: I'm Not Back On Booze And Drugs
Aerosmith's Steven Tyler had a nasty fall in a hotel bathroom in Paraguay over the weekend.
As recently reported, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler had a nasty fall in a hotel bathroom in Paraguay over the weekend. The singer was rushed to the hospital where he underwent treatment for a busted lip, cut forehead and two broken front teeth. And from the ghastly picture that Tyler sent NBC's "Today Show" it looks like the frontman may have rocked a little too hard while singing in the shower.
Speculation arose about Tyler's sobriety after the incident caught wind around the world, but the "Idol" judge assured Matt Lauer that this had nothing to do with substance abuse, and everything to do with dehydration after food poisoning. "I get that people think that," Tyler said of rumors that he had fallen off the wagon. "It still bothers me a little, but it's something that I have to deal with for the rest of my life."
"Being in the program, it's something we have to expect. People thinking that is natural and normal. We flew last night from Paraguay after that incident and [now] we're in Argentina for two hours. And anyone who knows anyone who uses substances wouldn't be up at this hour having a talk with Matt Lauer and the rest of America."
Despite his injuries, Aerosmith continued their South American tour and even broke a house attendance record, prompting Tyler to say that "Life is beautiful," despite his broken face. He even managed to play some harmonica with the busted tooth!
"Frankly, I just passed out," he said. "I was in the shower and I got nauseous and I started to get sick and I just fell on my face. I just passed out and woke up with the water on," Tyler continued, joking that he fainted due to Montezuma's Revenge. Despite the fall, we're glad he's back at equilibrium. Watch what you eat, buddy!
Thanks for the report to Spinner.com.

I am just wondering if anyone has this experience?[URL="http://www.manageaffiliatelinks.com/"][COLOR="Red"][B]Manage Affiliate Links[/B][/COLOR][/URL] - Redirect Dead, Expired, or Broken Links

Hmmmmmmmmm my sales have dried up from them for about a year. They used to convert so I keep them on my site. Might be time to give up the dream and remove them. :-(

I've never promoted these fools....
But I did sign up for their program and cancelled over 5 years ago...
They've been billing me for years....
Every month I get a bill on-line and it's getting huge...
I don't have the time to tell them that they are full of crap -
