just wondering how often everything gets in the water and how far their commute is
my drives like 40 min and usually only get out once a week.
just wondering how often everything gets in the water and how far their commute is
my drives like 40 min and usually only get out once a week.
Hour and 15 min and twice a week
My commute in ct is about 2 hours and im lucky to get out more then once a week there. Luckily, I worked my life around the waves and became a waveslave in north carolina in order to surf everyday (i suggest you do the same, wife, kids, job, school all not a big deal if your a true surfer)
Unluckily, wrightsville beach north carolina has real waves once a century so despite my 5 minute commute from the beach and being in the water everyday I'm still surrounded by tourists in boardshorts clogging the lineup (on or off their foamboards)
Im shooting for becoming homeless once i get my degree and finding a nice third-world nation where i can make a cabin on the beach somewhere so my commute will be nonexistent. 5 mins is still too far.
hour and twenty. about once a week
In all honesty ive had the wife, house in the burbs, school (bach degree in engineering), good job, and none of it even remotely compares to the thrill that surfing gives me. Call me a selfish person, call me an addict, call me whatever you like but give me overhead glass, my 6'3" thruster and I will sleep in my car and eat peanuts for 7 straight days if I have to.
10-15 minutes & I try to get on it most mornings if there's wave & some evenings especially this time of year when the days are longer. Probobly average 2-3 sessions in a good week

15 mins and about 4-5 times a week. Summer time it's 2 mins at my beach house and just about everyday unless it's complete Assssssssss
3hrs and 15 minutes. It would be an hour shorter if Delaware had somewhere to surf other than the Naval jetty....too bad they ruined Indian River. Starting in June, I'll average 2-3 sessions weekly; July will be almost daily between Cali and the east coast. Aug--Nov will be biweekly. I manage to go to a lake 5 minutes from my home to paddle for an hour several times weekly.

Who will be playing? For younger kids, the Wii gets the best reviews with its family-friendly games. For teens and adults, especially those interested in realistic graphics and action, the Xbox 360 and PS3 are the better choices.
Are you interested in extras like online gaming or playing movies? The Xbox and PS3 both play DVDs and CDs, but the PS3 can also play Blu-ray Discs. Both offer online gaming. In the past, experts have said that the Xbox 360 does a better job in this regard, but the gap seems to have closed and you need to budget extra for a Microsoft Live Gold subscription to access online gaming with the Xbox 360. The Wii does have Internet connectivity and is less expensive, but it can't play DVDs. All three consoles offer Netflix and Hulu Plus streaming, but you'll need a subscription. The PS3 and Xbox 360 offer lots of additional streaming options as well.
Is motion control a must? All three of the major consoles have motion-sensing technology, though with the obvious exception of the Wii, compatible titles are limited. Keep in mind that these systems often require a good deal of space (like a large living room or game room) to work effectively.
The Nintendo Wii U is brand new at the time of this report, and sold out at many retailers in advance of the Christmas holiday. Because of that, the few consoles available at retail are being sold at above their MSRP. We can't predict how long this situation will last, but we do advise patience unless you need to be the first on your block to have the Wii U. We expect prices to come down, and game selection to go up … eventually.

Seven arrested for attempt to leak railway exam paper
Kolkata, Dec 7 : A former railway employee and a driver were among the seven people arrested Saturday on suspicion of involvement in the leak of question papers of a railway recruitment examination, an official in West Bengal said.
Cash, mobiles and some documents were seized from the arrested people, the official said.
The accused were arrested from Howrah during a joint operation by the railway vigilance team and police.
"Besides Rs.4,63,000 in cash, 71 mobile phones, some Xerox and fax machines have been found in their possession. While no question papers have been found, some documents have been seized and the vigilance team is inspecting them," a South Eastern Railway spokesperson said.
He said that of the seven arrested, one is a former employee who took voluntary retirement. Another worked as a driver with the railways.
The official said the recruitment examination will be held as scheduled Sunday, Dec 8.
Minister of State for Railways Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said stringent action would be taken against those found guilty of attempting to leak question papers.

Embedded Control runs in the Android kernel and provides continues detection of unauthorized or out-of-policy setting changes
Most security software for the Android operating system renders devices vulnerable to system-level threats because they work only on the user level.
A security solution recently launched by McAfee Inc. can be embedded in the operating system to provide protection for devices against the installation of or execution of malicious applications, according to the company.
The software runs transparently on fixed-function systems and enables the entire point-of-service infrastructure to be monitored. It manages whitelists and supports multiple configurations for business needs.
Embedded Control provides continues detection of unauthorized or out-of-policy setting changes. It verifies these events against set policies, time windows and approved changed tickets. Changes outside these policies are blocked.
Security appliances plagued by flaws: Researcher
How security and privacy should merge
With the growing popularity of Android powered mobile devices among consumers and business users, the OS has become a preferred platform of embedded solution engineers.
For instance, a recent study of the embedded software market by EBM electronics show that 13 per cent of embedded software developers reported using Android in their 2012 projects. About 34 per cent of respondents also indicated that they are considering working with Android in 2013.
"Unfortunately, this growing attention (to) Android is also drawing new attacks on the mobile OS," said Bhargava.
For example, McAfee's threats report for the fourth quarter of 2012 found that there was an 85 per cent increase of new Android-focused malware from the previous quarter.
The survey also found that 96 per cent of tablets and smart phones worldwide lacked security software.
Bhargava said that prior to McAfee Embedded Control, embedded software engineers only had Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) if they wanted to have enforceable security capabilities for their embedded systems. SELinux, which was produced by the United States National Security Agency, security companies and open source developers, extended the Linux kernel to include a mandatory access control system. This made it more difficult for a rogue program to take control of files and devices.
He foresees, Embedded Control being used on machines other than mobile devices.
"Today we see Android on myriad devices such as point-of-sales machines and office equipment," Bhargava said. "Embedded control has potential application on retail, medical equipment, industrial control systems, gaming industry, security, automotive, military and aerospace industries."

'Nou oblije pale mo-to': Code-switching between Haitian and Guianese French Creoles and their lexifier in French Guiana
Time: 09:00am - 10:00am
Place: Ballantine Hall 004
Jason Siegel (Dissertation defense)The theories and methodologies developed to analyze intrasentential code-switching were developed to account for switching between clearly distinct languages. They seek to describe the constraints on intrasentential code-switching, essentially trying to account for how languages with very different structures can fit together in a single sentence. In this dissertation, I take a different approach, looking at languages that are much more closely related, namely French, Haitian Creole and Guianese Creole. These languages pose a special challenge because not only do they closely match each other in terms of phonology, but their morphology is frequently similar as well, which can make the identification of switch points highly difficult to ascertain. To test the theories, I start by reviewing a broad swath of literature relevant to code-switching among closely related varieties, including dialect contact and acquisition phenomena, as well as theories of language production and code-switching. I examine the social setting of creoles and their lexifier in contact in French Guiana. I also provide a grammatical sketch of the important differences among the varieties in question. In the major chapter of the dissertation, using the speech of Haitian immigrants in French Guiana as a test case, I look at a variety of possible code-switches that test the major claims of two models of code-switching, to see whether they can account for switches that occur between varieties that are not clearly distinct. I find that the theories as they exist now adequately— but not perfectly— account for code-switching in this circumstance. As a result, I propose a new line of inquiry for sociolinguistic variation using psycholinguistic methods to evaluate whether language-internal variation is code-switching between subgrammars.

During the month of November, in celebration of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), author (and my good buddy) Amy Butcher is giving away ebook copies of her award-winning Nanowrimo novel Paws for Consideration.
Of course, if you get the ebook version, you will miss out on the awesome flip book—illustrated by Amy—in the upper corner of the book, which features Daisy the person zooming around in her wheelchair while Skittles the dog pees on the page numbers.
From Amybutcher.com:
"Paws for Consideration won the Gay Category at the 2013 San Francisco Book Festival. That now makes Paws for Considerationan "award-winning novel" . . . who knew?
It's also National Novel Writing Month. Another cause for celebration not only for all the crazy writing happening but also because that's where Paws for Consideration got it's start.
So throughout November, you can download a free copy of Pawsthrough Smashwords. Enter your email in the form [on Amybutcher.com] and we'll send you the download code. And if you enjoy, please give a shout out on Goodreads."
Paws is an easy fun read, full of jaunts all over the Mission and Castro in San Francisco. I read it on a plane in basically one sitting last year when it came out, and I laughed out loud and cried when Skittles was found and was moved as the neighborhood characters found a way to come together and puzzle through someone's death. I like how Daisy navigates through the heretofore unexplored world of BDSM in the Castro, the perspective is sweet and curious and accepting.
Oh yeah, there are play parties and sex and masturbation and flogging scenes and leather dungeons in this book too. And also lots of dogs.
It starts like this:
The voice of Daisy-the-person carried way beyond the dog in front of her. She was the morning wake-up call for her neighbors, as regular as the bells ringing out from the steeple of Mission Dolores, only higher pitched. She patted her generous lap again, encouraging Daisy-the-dog to come closer.
To the canine, it wasn't clear where chair began and person ended. The way this creature moved, the wheels and the whir, were disconcerting. But she smelled good—of oily chicken scents and warm lint—and she wasn't moving now. Daisy-the-dog decided to take a chance.
Now, don't you want to read the whole thing? Go download it now.

If you want to join in, make sure you have your own Twitter account, too (and make sure it's unlocked for the evening if you want others to see your tweets!) and tag your posts with the hashtag so we'll all see them.

Sara Vibes & Deana
In this highly anticipated QPTV NYC scene directed by Tina Horn, Sara Vibes brings Deanna Cannonball to the edge in an intense and beautiful play piercing scene. This video is edited into three vignettes: First, Sara puts her knife all over Deanna's body and punches and flogs her to warm her up. Then, the middle of the scene focuses on the piercings, as Sara punctures Deanna's skin up and down her entire arms to create a beautiful bind. Deanna experiences the edge of consent, and begs Sara to take them out and fuck her. The third portion of the scene has Sara fucking Deanna with her hands and a giant strap on – the orgasms Deanna shudders through seem to be laced with the pain and pleasure of being edged and bled by one of the absolute best in the BDSM community, Sara Vibes.
James Darling, Tina Horn, & Quinn
So a trans male fag, a cis male femme fag, and a lady fag walk into a living room … I can't remember the punchline but I think it has something to do with stilettos, sucking, spanking and squirting.
Courtney Trouble & Mr Gray
Courtney Trouble tries her hand at retail, working for leather king Mr Gray at Aslan Leather. Mr. Gray is an unforgiving boss and soon Courtney finds herself in the middle of a new kind of training day.
Mr. Gray demonstrates the use of a leather arm binder, leather wrist cuffs, and rope bondage on his trainee, taking full advantage of her in these compromising positions. Courtney is forced to her knees to suck Mr Gray's big cock, then gets hand fucked until she squirts all over the floor. Mr Gray also deals out plenty of tit torture, ass punching, and rough handling, getting off in his leather pants over and over.
This scene is heavy on BDSM, bondage, impact play, humiliation, and verbal domination. Stay tuned for Part Two, in which Courtney is fucked until she squirts all over the leather sling.
So how do you tune in and watch this video for free with us?
NOTE! If your Twitter account is private, we won't be able to see your #pornparty tweets show up under the hashtag. If you want to join in on the conversation (hope you do!), you may have to unprotect your Twitter account.

A big ol' box of Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica edited by ME and published by Cleis Press has arrived on my doorstep! I am so thrilled to hold this book in my hands and pet it and flip through it, after more than a year of working on it behind the scenes, on my computer, alone, jerking off in bed with the manuscript I mean uh, editing and copy editing and re-editing.
And now … comes the exciting part! The birthing it into the world part! The part where I figure out how to get it into your hands and on your nightstands and between your boxspring and mattress and on your kinky bookshelves. So I've got a few things up my sleeve, including six inches a virtual blog book tour and some extra copies for reviewers.
The official promo blurb:
Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica is a fiction anthology edited by Sinclair Sexsmith, to be published by Cleis Press in April 2012. It is available for pre-order at Amazon and will be available for the Kindle and Nook. Email lesbianbdsmerotica at gmail.com if you have any questions; to request a review copy, email Brenda Knight at bknight at cleispress.com. For more information about Say Pleaes series, visit saypleasebook.wordpress.com.
Item the first! Reviewers needed for Amazon
Apparently, book sales on Amazon set the standard for many other buyers these days, and reviews on Amazon (even clicking "like" on Amazon) make a big difference in possible sales. So I've got 20 copies of the book to give to folks who are willing to write a review on Amazon. To do this, you must: have an Amazon.com account you've made a purchase from, have a US mailing address, promise to review it by April 31st and actually follow through. Will send one to the first 20 people to request it. Email lesbianbdsmerotica at gmail.com with "Amazon" in the subject line, your mailing address. I've got more than enough Amazon volunteers! Thank you!
Item the Second! Blog Tour
In April, surrounding the book's official April 10th release date, I'll be conducting a virtual blog tour for the book! That means: If you are a blogger, and you'd like a copy of the book to review on your blog on a particular day of the tour, I'll send you one in exchange for your participation. To participate, you agree to post on your corresponding day; posts can be your thoughts about the book, an excerpt, or an interview with me or another contributor. Email lesbianbdsmerotica at gmail.com with "Blog tour" in the subject line, and include a link to your blog and any pertinent information about the site you run. Deadline is March 31st, but I will fill it as I go, so please email me asap.
Item the Third! Preorder the Book!
If you do plan to buy it, as with all books, pre-ordering them has a dual impact on the book's sales, meaning your sale counts not just for one book, but means that the bookseller your purchasing from will stock extra copies. All sales are great, but pre-orders are extra special, a heads up as a way to support your favorite authors.
Item the Fourth! In Person Tour in Boston, Seattle, San Francisco, NYC, and More to Come (So To Speak)
I am trying to get all over the place to read from this book … I still hope to visit Durham, Chicago, and Portland, and possibly Philadelphia and DC. If you're a coordinator or event producer in any of those places, or in a different place!, and you'd like to help me with a reading, I'd love that. Get in touch.
Here are the current planned dates:
April 1 5pm, San Francisco at GV (with Salacious)
April 13 7pm, NYC at Bluestockings
April 22, Boston at a bar (with The Femme Show)
May 2, Seattle at Babeland
November 29, Toronto TBA (Facebook invite to come)
Item the Last! Get the Word Out, Buy a Copy, Let me Know What You Think!
I am beside myself with curiosity about how this book will be received. What do you think of it? What is your favorite story? Which lines stand out? Which authors were particularly impressive, whether you've read them before or will seek them out to read again? What themes did you love (or hate)? What did you wish there was more of? I would love feedback about this. After all, it's the first anthology that is wholly mine, cover to cover, and I would love to do more of these in the future (hope hope).
I hope you'll find a way to get in touch and tell me your thoughts, I am so very curious.
As if the project (re)launch of Top Hot Butches wasn't enough, I've got some other exciting news: I'm going to be editing an anthology for Cleis Press focusing on lesbian BDSM erotica!
I adore Cleis, I've been following their catalogues for years and I frequently jump at their new titles. They've published many of my short stories in other anthologies, and I am thrilled to be working with them as an editor. It's a new venture for me! And I hope it goes well.
There is definitely a lack of the dirty stuff out there—so many of the erotica anthologies I pick up lately have lacked kink. And hoo boy I've been reading a lot of erotica lately. Did you know I am now the lesbian erotica editor for the Lambda Literary Foundation's recently relaunched website? True story. I'm doing a quarterly roundup of the current lesbian erotica, so I've been getting all sorts of fun packages in the mail, but unfortunately most of them are just awful and I really hope the authors intended the book to be a joke. But if I can't tell, then it wasn't exactly a successful joke.
I can't wait to turn up the dirty stuff and stick it all out there in a book with actual pages that you can wank off to—that'll be a nice change from cuddling up to your laptop in bed, or wanking off at your desk, hmm?
A note about the word "lesbian" … it is pretty much necessary to use that word in the publishing world. So it was kind of not negotiable. I don't feel great about it, and while I don't not identify as a lesbian, it certainly wouldn't be my first sexual identity label of choice (I tend to call myself queer).
Ultimately, though, it is an anthology focused on female characters, but any and all gender expressions are welcome (and encouraged!) to be represented in this anthology—cis women, trans women, and genderqueer characters who identify with the lesbian community. I will absolutely consider stories with trans men in them, assuming they identify with the lesbian communities, but know that the publisher has the final say over the manuscript and I'm not too certain how they would treat that.
If you're a writer, please do submit a story. You don't have to be a published writer, you don't have to have any credentials, what matters is the quality of your story. You've got a few months to come up with an awesome scenario and send it in to me … really looking forward to reading all the submissions.
Please forward this call widely.

I recently went through the Orientation process for the Lesbian Sex Mafia, and we went over this list of The Difference Between SM and Abuse, which is also available on the Lesbian Sex Mafia's website.
I am still surprised how often BDSM gets equated with abuse, and this list makes the distinctions so very clear, I like it. I have the feeling I'll be referencing this quite a bit in various things. Hope the LSM doesn't mind that I am reprinting it here!
The Difference Between SM and Abuse
A Statement from the Lesbian Sex Mafia
SM: An SM scene is a controlled situation.
ABUSE: Abuse is an out-of-control situation.
SM: Negotiation occurs before an SM scene to determine what will and will not happen in that scene.
ABUSE: One person determines what will happen.
SM: Knowledgeable consent is given to the scene by all parties.
ABUSE: No consent is asked for or given.
SM: The "bottom" has a safeword that allows them to stop the scene at any time should they need to for physical or emotional reasons.
ABUSE: The person being abused cannot stop what is happening.
SM: Everyone involved in an SM scene is concerned about the needs, desires and limits of others.
ABUSE: No concern is given to the needs, desires and limits of the abused person.
SM: The people in an SM scene are careful to be sure that they are not impaired by alcohol or drug use during the scene.
ABUSE: Alcohol or drugs are often used before an episode of abuse.
SM: After an SM scene, the people involved feel good.
ABUSE: After an episode of abuse, the people involved feel bad.
If you have further questions regarding domestic abuse, please call the New York City Gay & Lesbian Anti-Violence Project (AVP). They are educated in the differences between BDSM and abuse.

Can anyone drive my child on a school sponsored trip?
My daughter recently left Illinois on a band trip to Disney in Florida. We received a call from her as they were entering Florida and found out that there were not enough seats on the charter bus they hired so they rented a passenger van to handle the overflow without parent knowledge. While speaking to my daughter we discovered she and several other students were riding in the van being driven by a parent not the charter bus. She also told us that the students were told by the band director that they had to take turns riding in the van. Is this legal? We gave no permission for her to ride in any vehicle other than the charter. What legal action can I take?
Member Added on Dec 31, 2012
We spoke with the schools superintendent and told him what we knew. He then told us that he told the head band director that no kids were allowed to ride in the van...they must ride the charter bus. I later found out the the head director did not go on the trip...just the assistant director but he supposedly told the asst dir what the superintendent told him. None the less the superintendent is very angry upon hearing all of this and even a member of the school board has been contacted. This is not the first questionable act by this band director. Even though he is tenured can he be fired over this? The teachers at this school do not belong to a union.

Fall 2005
They Came From Another Planet
Sure, 50s sci-fi films are fun, but the best of them are also smart, well-made and compelling even today.
At first glance, the science fiction films of the 1950s–and there were hundreds of them–may now look schlocky and selfsame, best left for the nostalgic memories of a happier era. On a closer inspection, however, many of these films reveal much of what makes Hollywood filmmaking worthwhile. Using the genre and its potential for allegory as cover, these films addressed the social and political issues of their times, notably the Cold War, the Atomic Age and the Communist Menace. At the same time, and often on a shoestring budget, they explored the boundaries of new and emerging filmmaking technologies.
Watching them now, it is shocking just how current, how relevant, these films still feel. Among the subjects raised are: the place of science within the fabric of American life; the capabilities, resources and trustworthiness of the American government and military; fear and paranoia of outside invaders bent on destroying our way of life; the use of technology as both an instrument of salvation and a tool of destruction; and the role of the media in society. These ideas were clearly as important in 1955 as they are in 2005.
This list is by no means comprehensive, as many other fine examples of fifties sci-fi (as well as notable oddities) are also available on DVD. The influence of these pictures is evident in such films as Bob Balaban's underrated satire Parents, Tim Burton's alien-invasion spoof Mars Attacks, and, of course, the entire Star Wars saga. The ability of these films to capture our imagination so many years after they were released speaks not only to the timelessness of the genre, but also to the skill, artistry and craftsmanship with which they were made.
War Of The Worlds (1953) Recently remade by no less than Steven Spielberg, this earlier adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic is interesting in its own right and when compared to its modern-day version. Coming out in November as a Special Edition DVD complete with Orson Welles' infamous Mercury Theater radio broadcast that shocked the nation in 1938, this adaptation focuses on the attempts of a group of scientists to thwart the alien invaders. Directed by Byron Haskin and produced by George Pal, the film won an Academy Award for its special effects, which still look stylish and mesmerizing. The sleek modernist design of the spaceships contrasts nicely with the awkward organic forms of the alien invaders, who are glimpsed only briefly. (Paramount Home Video)
Forbidden Planet (1956) Shakespeare's The Tempest is reformed into a neo-Freudian drama on another world in this engaging and unusual film directed by Fred McLeod Wilcox, best known for his Lassie pictures. A space expedition (led by Leslie Nielsen) is sent to investigate what became of the crew from a previous mission. They find only two survivors, Morbius (Walter Pidgeon) and his daughter Alta (Anne Francis). Living in a paradise of rocket-age design, the father and daughter have reached a truce of sorts with the Krel, the mysterious force that rules the planet. As Morbius loosens his grip over his daughter and self-created paradise, the force is unleashed. Intelligent and sharp, hampered only perhaps by what now seems rather behind-the-beat pacing, Forbidden Planet also introduced one of the true icons of the fifties sci-fi boom, the lovable Robbie the Robot. (Warner Brothers Home Video)
The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) Aside from introducing the legendarily enigmatic line, "Gort, klaatu barada nikto," Robert Wise's film is also a stirring and thought-provoking meditation on tolerance and understanding, with a healthy dose of caution against imperialism and nuclear arms. After a spaceship lands in Washington D.C., out pops Klaatu, a human-looking being (played by an appropriately stone-faced Michael Rennie), accompanied by Gort, who turns out to be a robot enforcer used by the rest of the universe to eliminate aggression. Though the film is perhaps a little talky and prone to speech-making, there is nevertheless something thrilling about the way in which it so boldly confronts the very issues and fears that must have been foremost in the minds of the audience. (Fox Video)
The Thing From Another World (1951) Though the director's attribution belongs to Christian Nyby, typically much of the credit for making this film has gone to producer Howard Hawks. It's easy to see why, as the film, the only foray into science fiction of Hawks' illustrious career, exhibits many of the tropes and thematic ideas that were benchmarks of his work. A military cadre joins up with a scientific team in the Arctic after they come across a flying saucer sunken beneath the ice, and together they all manage to dig out a being encased in a block of ice. Arguments ensue between a scientist, a military man and a reporter as to what to do–keep it quiet or tell the world, thaw it out or leave it be. The suspense is created largely by not letting the audience see The Thing. James Arness, who struggles mightily with awkward prosthetics and applications, ably portrays the creature. (Warner Brothers Home Video)
Invaders From Mars (1953) A terrific pairing on a double-bill with Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Invaders from Mars is the story of a young boy who wakes up in the middle of the night to see a flying saucer land just over a ridge near his home. Soon thereafter people around him begin to act strangely, even his own father seems like a different person. The one thing they all have in common is an odd scar at the base of their necks. Performances and sets are beautifully stylized thanks to skillful direction by renowned production designer William Cameron Menzies. The film feels as if Kafka's existential dread landed in that ship, not aliens. In a nice twist ending, the boy awakens to realize it was all just a dream, until he sees another ship land and the horrible loop begins again. (Image Entertainment)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1953) Director Don Siegel is now best remembered for his collaborations with Clint Eastwood on such films as Dirty Harry and Coogan's Bluff, but earlier in his career Siegel made this taut, terrifying film about a small town overtaken by pods which grow into dead-eyed replicas of the residents. The film nimbly doubles as both an atomic-age thriller and a cautionary statement on the conformity of post-World War II America, with more than a dash of Red Scare paranoia thrown in. Kevin McCarthy delivers a terrific performance as a doctor who returns home to find the people he knows and loves are no longer as they once were. Siegel originally wanted to end the film with McCarthy's direct-to-the-camera hysterics of shouting "You're Next!" but was forced to tack on an additional scene to soften the film's final moments.

A look at the careers of historically significant directors or genres through new DVD releases.
John Cassavetes' work was emotionally raw and intentionally untidy—and continues to influence directors with its passion and purpose.
Following World War II, a host of directors, led by Stanley Kramer, began tackling the hot-button issues of their day. We celebrate Kramer's centennial with a look back at a time when movies mattered.
No one has put a spin on this crazy world quite like Preston Sturges. In a few short years, he created a benchmark for smart comedy that still stands today.
From the silents through the studio days, Raoul Walsh perhaps made more movies than anyone, yet is largely forgotten today. In a personal appreciation, Richard Schickel considers the director's contribution to film history.
As a director of almost geometric precision, Buster Keaton created the template for physical comedy. With a new Blu-ray box set, his genius looks as fresh as ever.
In his six decade career, John Frankenheimer was fascinated with the machinations of politics and approached it from all angles—and it never looked the same.
The enterprising Warner Archive Collection offers unsung films by major directors.
John Huston shows Eli Wallach how to roundup horses-modern style-on the set of The Misfits.
In Master and Commander, the director captures the intensity and beauty of fighting ships with a combination of modern technology and old-fashioned storytelling.
Director Miguel Arteta takes a look-a close look-at Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy to find out what makes it tick.
From the very start, director/executive producer Bob Weide has helped orchestrate the madness and mayhem of Curb Your Enthusiasm. His advice: Don't try this at home.
Jewison's honestly-titled memoir is of special interest to readers intrigued by the longevity of this particular genre-hopper.
Anyone who has been on a movie set knows how crucial the 1st AD is to the filmmaking process, especially on giant summer blockbusters. Five ADs tell it like it is.
What's on director Wayne Kramer's mind about the rating system? Funny you should ask.

Nikola Vucevic didn't play in the fourth quarter but still finished with a double-double (19 points and 14 rebounds).
Vucevic did his damage in just 30 minutes. Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn told Magic beat writer Josh Robbinsthat he sat the center in the fourth quarter due to matchups.
Vucevic added three blocks and an assist in the loss. He's 79-percent owned in Yahoo leagues. He's my mid-season favorite for waiver wire pickup of the year.
J.J. Redick got his second start and went for 14 points, two 3-pointers, two rebounds and three assist. The ex-Dukie is having a fine season. He's 73-percent owned.
Arron Afflalo bounced back from a scoreless dud with 16 points, two 3-pointers, four rebounds and two assists.

More precisely, I wish the transition will not fragment the system between a lot of still potentially useful apps that cease working and the new stuff that will take years to mature to the point of old apps. Think about the transition between kde 3 and 4, or end up like people running classic unix apps under OSX.
Network transparency is a MUST to me, but if it is important for many it should end up getting implemented into any solution eventually.

User Review: Vibram Men's FiveFingers TrekSport
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $45
It's not as weird as you think. These are comfortable multipurpose shoes.
- Multiple purpose
- Lightweight
- I get stopped in places like Wal-mart bathrooms so people can ask me about them.
- Sizing can be difficult
I picked these up on clearance from REI. One thing I'll say off the bat is GO IN TO A STORE AND TRY THEM ON. Vibram's sizing for these is weird, and I understand it, but it's still weird. So I ordered a few shoes and returned them before I just went in and tried them on.
The shoe is designed to strengthen the foot, give it a more natural gate, I suppose. That said, you really have to ease your way into using them. You don't want to buy them and immediately go run a marathon. You'll hurt your feet.
I've experienced a little stress in my left foot, probably because I wore them too much at the beginning. But that's dissipated and they're fine. I plan to use them for hiking in Florida or shorter overnight hikes. No elevation changes to put stress on my ankles, so why not wear something a little lighter weight?
One of the great things about the Trek Sport is that they can essentially be used as water shoes as well, which is fantastic if you're trail running and happen to need to cross a stream. Your feet are going to get wet, but they're probably going to dry out faster than if you were in non-waterproof boots too. Plus, you don't have to wear socks with these so it's not like they're going to hold in moisture and bother your feet.
So, there you have it. My review of the TrekSport. I like it. Most people who look at them on my feet don't. But they're pretty rad. Pretty comfortable if you don't wear them 100% of the time right away. You'd think the toe thing would be a bother, but it's really not noticeable. It's a good product. Go try on a pair.

Did you know that between fifty to ninety percent of the world's languages are predicted to disappear in the next century, many with little or no significant documentation?
The Rosetta Project is a global collaboration of language specialists and native speakers building a publicly accessible online archive of ALL documented human languages.
The Rosetta Project About Us page best sums up their cause.
Could you imagine the world incurring a loss of between fifty to ninety percent of its current languages? It could happen; many languages are already unspoken, dead, and forgotten.
That's some serious stuff, but the Rosetta Project has some serious help, too.
Supporters of the project include Stanford University Libraries, The National Science Foundation, The National Science Digital Library, and The Long Now Foundation.
By the very nature of your profession as a voice talent, it is your duty to help preserve language, dialects, and accents. The Rosetta Project is a noble cause that will serve generations to come, documenting living and extinct languages... but only with your help.
If you speak an endangered language or know someone who does, visit the Rosetta Project to contribute in any way that you can to catalog the language and ensure that it is remembered, and perhaps, spoken or studied, for centuries to come.
To date, the Rosetta Project provides over 100,000 pages of content and has documented over 2,500 languages. The project is the largest of its kind on the Internet.
Join in the crusade by visiting The Rosetta Project here.
