Taking Up Space at Greenham Common
Is there anything more personal -- and political -- to women than their bodies? Aware of the political charge of their bodies, women have physically hurled themselves in public spaces to protest wars, human injustice, and abuse of power. One of the most vivid and longstanding examples of women using their bodies to take up space in non-violent protest is the Women of Greenham Common.From 1981 to 2000, tens of thousands of British women mobilized to negotiate an end to nuclear proliferation in their hometowns...Go to page >

As TorrentFreak explains, UDP trackers are much less resource intensive than HTTP trackers, and most torrent sites out there already support it. Essentially what this means is that torrent trackers will be able to support many more users with their current hardware and not crash under the load, while on the other hand users would avoid browsing slowdowns since UDP trackers do not interfere with HTTP traffic.
Vuze, BitComet, Deluge, KTorrent and several others have already implemented this feature but uTorrents popularity should further boost widespread adoption of the protocol.
There are a few other changes in version 2.0, including a transfer cap feature which will help users with cap-limited bandwidth avoid overage charges or having their service cut off. You can track your usage in megabytes, with a handy graph to visualize it, and even configure uTorrent to shut down once the predefined limits have been hit.
Last but not least, uTorrent enjoys several improvements to its uTP support, which allows the client to automatically regulate its bandwidth usage to avoid adversely impacting your internet connection and other locally-running programs. The full list of changes can be read at the uTorrent forums.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
yes, i just downloaded it yesterday. it seems exactly the same to me.but then again i am but a simple downloader.
Oh teh noes, UDP is going to kill the internets...
...Except for the whole part where it won't. Good to see that the torrent clients aren't going to cave on that pressure.
"Impact" is not a verb.
I'll look forward to this development.
According to Merriam-Webster and HyperDictionary.com, "impact" most certainly /is/ a verb.
As for the announcement, yay, I guess.
uTorrent 2.0 supports P2P UDP. It does not support C2T (client to torrent) UDP. Therefore we shouldn't be that excited by this news. Until uTorrent reverses it's decision about a C2T UDP protocol, we should treat this as though it doesn't exist.
Of late, "impact" is used as a synonym for "affect", just as "absolutely" is for "definitely", "issue" is for "problem", etc., etc., ad nauseum, ad infinitum... One word that is currently employed as a verb - but most assuredly is not one - is "transition" (shiver, cringe). This is all part of the twerpification of English by the Nerds. I would only ask you to note that I didn't begin my comment "OK so..." (retch, puke), or even once type "I was just kind of like..." - until now (convulse, klunk, flop, flop).

A growing number of teenagers are earning their high school diplomas through the internet. Distance learning is often a great option for students who need to stay home for health reasons, desire to work at their own pace, find themselves unable to concentrate on their work in the traditional setting, or need to schedule their learning around a career (such as acting). Finding an online high school can be a challenge; many schools make big claims but few live up to their promises. Parents generally have two options for their children: private online schools or public online schools. Private online schools function much like traditional private schools, while public schools must follow national and state regulations.
Private Online High Schools
For the most part, private schools act independently of government regulation. Just like traditional private schools, they create their own regulations and have their own learning philosophy, which varies greatly from school to school. Tuition is often high since parents are charged for all costs related to their child's education, including hardware and software.These high schools may or may not be accredited by the proper regional association. If you choose a school that is not accredited, check with the academic advisers of a few colleges to make sure that the schools' transcript will be accepted should your child apply to attend a college.
Many well-established universities are beginning to offer online high schools; these schools are probably the best bet since they are tied to credible institutions that have been around for years. A few schools to consider include:
- Allied National High School
- Penn Foster High School
- Keystone National High School
- Christa McAuliffe Academy Online
- More online private high schools...
Online Charter Schools
If your state allows charter schools, you may be able to enroll in an online high school for free. Charter schools are publicly funded but have more freedom from government control than regular public schools. This is one of the best deals out there, since public schools are not allowed to charge tuition and are generally accredited by the proper organization. States such as Minnesota and California have provisions in their state laws that permit students to enroll in charter programs that are paid for by the government. Schools Blue Sky in Minnesota offer students the chance to earn a diploma without paying for classes or materials. Choice2000 in California is completely online, completely free, and completely accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Some schools even provide computer equipment and hands-on materials free of charge.Find a no-cost program in your area by searching the directory of online public charter schools.
Transitioning to an Online Program
Whether you choose a private school or a public school, do a little investigating before you enroll your teenager. Interviewing the school of your choice can be a great way to make sure that you'll get the resources you need and checking with the correct regional accreditation board can ensure that your school is properly accredited. Finally, make sure your child is emotionally and academically prepared to learn through the internet. Many students struggle being away from social events and friends, and have difficulty avoiding the many distractions in the home. But, if your teenager is prepared and you choose the right school, online learning can be a great asset to her future.See: Online High School Profiles

You are here:
John felt like life was one big adventure. He loved touring around Britain on his motorbike.
But aged 43, John suffered a horrific crash, damaging his optic nerve and losing sight in one eye. John tried to carry on as before but the real nightmare was only just beginning.
A few years later his wife died and he was diagnosed with diabetes. On top of this he lost his job and started experiencing blurred vision in his other eye.
"I felt like that was it. I couldn't ride my motorbike; I couldn't even see my daughter's face".
The problem was that John's retina had become detached due to diabetic retinopathy. In a matter of months, his life changed forever. There were no adventures, no more motorbike rides - he simply couldn't see.
The impact on John's life was crushing. He felt desperate and totally alone, and cut himself off from the world. Luckily, one of his friends knew about RNIB and John contacted us for help.
John's story was tragic, but it wasn't without hope.
"RNIB has supported me in so many ways it is unbelievable."
We made his life easier with a few practical things such as talking clocks, big button telephones and braille stickers. We also installed handrails in his home to make it safe and we provided him with mobility training. These basic, but essential, changes gave John confidence.
To help John achieve his goal of going back to work, we installed special software on his computer to make it audible and a speech programme so he could 'type' verbally.
With our support, he was able to claim a higher level of Disability Living Allowance, so he had more money to buy the things he needed. This helped him to become even more independent and soon he found a job working for the Salvation Army - and he still works there today.
There are many ways to lose your sight. With your donation there are many ways we can help. You have the chance to change someone's life.
Please make a donation and help continue our work.
Every day 100 people in the UK begin to lose their sight. We need to reach these people, that's why your support is so important.
Contact: email@example.com

RNIB is proud to be a member of the Fundraising Standards Board.
We couldn't provide our vital services without our supporters. You make a real difference to blind and partially sighted people.

Pro-Latvian crowd not enough to lift underdogs
BERNE In early Group C action on Saturday, defenceman Jack Johnson scored twice as the USA opened its tournament with a 4-2 win over Latvia.Johnson has already doubled his offensive output from Canada 2008, where he scored one goal in seven games as an IIHF World Championship rookie. The USA is looking for its first World Championship medal since claiming bronze in 2004.Drew Stafford and Patrick O'Sullivan also scored for the USA. Herberts Vasiljevs and Martins Karsums replied for Latvia.With the win, the Americans stretched their unbeaten streak against Latvia at the Worlds to six games. The last time Latvia beat the USA was a 2-0 shutout for Arturs Irbe on April 30, 2001 at the World Championship in Germany."We made some mistakes and they capitalized on them," said Latvia's Karlis Skrastins. "Theyve just been together for a few days, but they had more speed and power."The first half of the game was mostly played in a free-skating style that took advantage of the international-sized ice surface and didn't feature much body contact. This was a good thing for Latvia. But when the Americans picked up their intensity, the Latvians couldn't keep pace."You want to face a little bit of adversity and test your character somewhat," said USA head coach Ron Wilson. "We did a lot of little things well. We dont have to be great in the first couple of games, but we want to get better with each performance."Johnson took an interference minor 4:31 in, and just nine seconds later the Latvians struck for the opening goal with the man advantage. Vasiljevs was left uncovered in front of the USA net and converted a slick feed from Aleksandrs Nizivijs.But Johnson wouldn't take long to make amends. He evened the score at 11:15 with a goal from the right point that appeared to tip as it eluded Latvian goalie Edgars Masalskis.Latvia jumped into a 2-1 lead at 6:39 of the second period when Girts Ankipans sent a quick pass from behind the goal line to Karsums, who beat USA netminder Robert Esche with his quick release.At 11:13, the Americans made it 2-2 after some aggressive forechecking. Stafford surprised Masalskis with a bad-angle shot along the goal line.With under six minutes left, Stafford cut through traffic to the net with a backhand and Masalskis made a fine save with his right skate. But Masalskis wasn't so lucky seconds later when Johnson cut out of the corner and shoveled a forehand past the netminder's failed pokecheck for a 3-2 USA lead. The Americans outshot Latvia 17-4 in the middle frame.Esche smartly stoned Janis Sprukts from the right faceoff circle on an early 2-on-1 in the third period.With 13:57 left in the third, O'Sullivan snared the rebound from Ron Hainsey's centre point shot to give the Americans a two-goal lead."Out of all my years in this tournament, I think tonight was the best Ive seen us play against Latvia," said Esche.The Latvians pressed for the equalizer in the late stages, but they couldn't make any noise on the scoreboard.In the stands, the PostFinance Arena crowd of 7,840 was dominated by Latvian supporters, chanting and pounding drums in their inimitable style.Final shots on goal favoured the USA 38-20. Johnson was named the USA's Player of the Game, and Karsums claimed the honours for Latvia.On Monday, the USA faces Austria, and Latvia will take on Sweden."I havent coached internationally on a big ice surface since 1998, so I have to catch up with what everybody is doing tactically," said Wilson. "Nobody plays like this in the NHL, so its an educational experience for me as well."LUCAS AYKROYD

Statement of Mr. Alan Morris, Executive Vice President,
Sharman Networks Limited
Before the
Senate Judiciary Committee
"Pornography, Technology and Process: Problems and Solutions on
Peer-to-Peer Networks"
Washington, DC
September 9, 2003
Chairman Hatch and members of the Committee, thank you for this opportunity to again share the views of Sharman Networks Limited (SNL) regarding peer-to-peer (P2P) technology. I am Sharman's Executive Vice President and, as it is a global business, I am responsible for supervising the enterprise from London whilst our Sydney headquarters is off-line at night. I also have specific responsibility for developing the promotion and distribution of licensed content in conjunction with Altnet, our Los Angeles-based U.S. business partner. The Altnet service is available to all users of the Kazaa Media Desktop (KMD) software. Altnet is the largest distributor in the world of licensed and protected media files, as well as the leading purveyor of files utilizing Microsoft Windows Media digital rights management (DRM) technology.
Since its creation, SNL has been dedicated to two principal goals. The first goal is to fully exploit the potential for P2P software to enrich society and the creators of intellectual property through the development of this most efficient means for the commercial distribution of copyrighted material. The second is to provide consumers with the most secure and best functioning P2P software available anywhere; we are the industry leader and consumers have validated our efforts by making the Kazaa Media Desktop (KMD) the most popular P2P application. So, we have built the technology platform for achieving our premier goal, and will be announcing a series of exciting new ventures with content providers throughout the world in coming months. Our greatest disappointment in this regard is that major U.S. content providers have yet to acknowledge that P2P is not the problem but the solution to their digital dilemma and license their copyrighted material for paid distribution to KMD users.
P2P Misinformation
Unfortunately, certain Hollywood interests have not just failed to acknowledge the positive role that P2P can play in solving their online distribution challenge, but have embarked on a deliberate campaign to try to smear P2P technology itself. It seems that ever since Federal District Judge Stephen Wilson's April ruling that the distribution of P2P software was a legal activity in the United States under the standard established by the Supreme Court's 1984 "Betamax" decision, entertainment industry lobbyists have accelerated their deliberate campaign of P2P misinformation on Capitol Hill.
When I testified before you in June I took many of those charges head on and, I believe, showed you that the concerns raised were spurious. You learned that KMD includes, at no cost, highly effective anti-virus protection; last month this feature validated P2P as the distribution technology of the future in response to the MSBlast scare by distributing a massive 10 Terabytes of antivirus update files seamlessly over P2P in a single week, with none of the load problems encountered at this time of peak demand by traditional anti-virus distribution. We also apprised you of SNL's firm "no spyware" policy. And we described the extensive changes we had made to the KMD user interface and installation process to eliminate any possibility of identity theft as a result of inadvertent placement of personal information in a user's shared folder, even though the FBI had apprised Congress that it did not know of a single instance of I.D. theft resulting from the use of P2P software. Our testimony also quoted various experts' Congressional testimony that P2P software did not have intrinsic security weaknesses or present different or greater security problems than such common Internet tools as web browsers or e-mail software.
Since we presented that testimony, intervening events have further substantiated our position. Two major electronic virus infestations caused several $billion in damage to computer systems over the summer, and in both cases the principal means of propagation was the exploitation of known weaknesses in commonly used server and e-mail software, with P2P playing no role - indeed, as I noted, it was a major force in combating it. And, just last week, the Federal Trade Commission released its Identity Theft Survey Report; in recounting the means by which I.D. thieves gain access to the personal information of their victims, P2P does not even get a mention. As the saying goes, while P2P's detractors are entitled to their own opinions, they are not entitled to their own facts.
Zero Tolerance for Child Pornography
Mr. Chairman, there is one allegation being made against P2P software that we find vile and reprehensible. And that is the charge that there is some strong linkage between the use of such software and the propagation of exploitive and illegal child pornography. Let me make Sharman Network's position on such despicable content crystal clear. We utterly abhor child pornography. We do not want our software used to propagate this filth, even if it is in a small way.
Since acquiring the KMD software early in 2002 we have had only a handful of case requests about specific child pornography available through P2P from law enforcement agencies worldwide. In each case we proved willing to immediately work with officers. However, they realized very quickly what their colleagues elsewhere had determined some while before -
? Pedophiles quickly realized, when P2P first appeared, that it was a foolhardy way to pursue their warped ends. To make their "collections" publicly available on P2P is counter to their cloak of secrecy. Law enforcement agencies quickly picked them off and so they retreated back to their sordid encrypted sites, newsgroups and the like.
? The nature of p2p applications, unlike websites with their central servers, means that software developers like SNL have about as much knowledge and control over what individuals choose to share as Microsoft has over what is sent via its e-mail clients!
? The relatively small amount of child pornography circulating on P2P has been hypothesized as being largely the legacy of these early forays rather than the stream of new material that pervades the chosen means of pedophile distribution.
Not satisfied just to see this small amount of material wither away (see chart at end of statement) we are actively working with U.S. and international law enforcement authorities, including the FBI, to provide them with a technical understanding of the software and, whilst clarifying the limitations in knowing systemically about files transacted, we have pointed out how they may use readily available technologies to help identify specific users who share illegal pornographic material. Law enforcement agencies, of course, may obtain through appropriate legal process the willing cooperation of ISPs and others in the chain of transmission the necessary proof to pursue and arrest miscreants. In this regard we applaud the actions of Suffolk County police authorities in arresting individuals who have used KMD or other P2P applications to share illegal content and hope other police agencies follow suit. We want pedophiles to quickly get the message that when they make such materials available for other P2P users to find they are also making it quite easy for law enforcement authorities to find them, and then cease to use P2P as a means of propagating child pornography.
In short, Sharman Networks has a zero tolerance policy in regard to child pornography, and we stand ready to take whatever additional feasible steps a software distributor can take to assist in reducing this problem still further. It should be noted that, while we support user privacy, SNL has not chosen to use methods of providing anonymity to users that could hinder the legitimate quests for purveyors of obscene material by law enforcement agencies.
So, we ask that you put P2P's role in perspective as regards the very real and growing problem of child pornography on the Internet. Based upon the data we have seen, such as that contained in the General Accounting Office's February report on this subject (GAO-03-351) and the chart reproduced below, P2P plays a very minor role in the propagation of child pornography. P2P referrals presently constitute less than two percent of all reports of child pornography submitted to the CyberTipline operated by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, while Internet Web sites account for more than seventy seven percent. While any amount of child pornography available via P2P software is unacceptable to us, we know of no instance or charge that there is any commercial or organized distribution of such materials using P2P, while many of the thousands of Web sites hosting child pornography do charge for access to these illegal materials, and newsgroups are actively used for illegal private distribution.
Commercial child pornography Web sites are a rapidly growing problem. Last month, the United Kingdom's National Criminal Intelligence Service released a report stating that Websites containing child pornography had more than doubled in the past year, that more than half of them were hosted in the United States, and that Internet pedophiles were developing more cunning means of avoiding detection. Clearly, any effective law enforcement initiative against the child pornography problem must be primarily directed against these Web sites and coordinated on an international basis
Mr. Chairman, it is clear that the vast majority of the child pornography problem stems from Web sites accessed by Web browser software. Yet we do not see a coordinated campaign to smear Web browsing technology even though it is the primary technological means by which child pornography is accessed, distributed, and sold. Nor do we see such a campaign against instant messaging software, chat rooms or news groups, even though there have been repeated reports of how pedophiles have masqueraded as minors and used these technologies to engage in suggestive conversations with minors, to send pornographic images to minors, and to attempt to set up face to face meetings with minors. And we certainly do not see misguided legislative initiatives, such as a bill recently introduced in the House of Representatives that aims to ban the distribution of P2P technology, directed at these other major technological tools which are commonly subverted by pedophiles for their evil purpose. Nor should we, because we all know that technologies are not inherently good or evil - what's good or bad are the uses that individuals put them to; and what should be pursued are those bad actors that use them for evil ends.
It seems the reason that the entertainment industry has tried to create an unwarranted association between child pornography and P2P is not because P2P software plays a major role in this illicit trade but because they want to create sufficient animosity against this technology to assist in the enactment of new legislation that weakens Betamax standard protection, requires copy control technology, regulates P2P out of existence, or otherwise supports Hollywood's goal of subjugating technology to the needs of their existing business models. This ploy was admitted by unnamed record industry executives in a September 2nd Los Angeles Times article: "Even as the RIAA prepares to seize parents' attention with lawsuits, music executives increasingly have been trying to call attention to the fact that file swapping networks also are frequently used to share child pornography and other X-rated images. Record executives say privately they're also aiming to use the proliferation of pornography as a means of persuading members of Congress and law enforcement officials to take a tougher stance against the file networks."
This may be seen as hypocritical, to say the least, from an industry which quickly wraps itself in your First Amendment whenever the content it produces and the advertising that promotes it are criticized for graphic and gratuitous sex and violence and the promotion of substance abuse. The difference is that the entertainment industry actively markets such fare to kids -- Sharman just provides technology that can be used or misused.
Barring Minors' Access to Legal Adult Content
Most adult content is legal, and its availability in our society is a fact of life, with major corporations engaged in its distribution. It's sold on nearly every newsstand. It's marketed on both a subscription and pay-per-view basis to customers of satellite and cable TV and guests at major hotel chains. The ability to watch X-rated movies in the privacy of one's own home was a driving force in the adoption of the VCR, and this content has migrated onto DVDs as that new technology supplants video tape. And it's well known that access to adult content and sex-oriented chat rooms was an important factor in the growth of now major ISPs, and that the sale of legal adult content is one of the major Internet commerce success stories as well as being touted as the "killer content" for new generation 3G phones.
So it should come as no surprise that one use that individuals make of P2P software is to access adult content. SNL does not distribute any such content. Altnet does have a paid publishing system that allows content owners to publish content into the system. A legal review is always conducted on all such content before publishing takes place. Following the high standards of satellite TV and the cable industry, Altnet does not discriminate against publishers that work within the law and provide technical restrictions to prevent unauthorized distribution of content that may be unsuitable to children. Any adult content published via Altnet is of course only available, through strict credit card verification, to persons over eighteen years of age.
Other individual software users provide the great majority of the adult content available to users of the KMD software. SNL has no direct knowledge of what any particular user is providing, nor do we have any ability to control such distribution or remove a particular piece of content. What we can do, and in fact do, is to provide KMD users, at no charge, with the most comprehensive and effective, password protected, family filter available with any P2P software application.
The extensive availability of offensive materials on popular search engines, such as Yahoo and Google, is a concern for everyone. For instance, a search for the most commonly used adult term on Google will return 43,600.000 results! This does not mean Google is inherently bad. To the contrary, it simply reflects the vast amount of pornography accessible from websites that minors may access in the absence of parental oversight, in contrast to the relatively small amount available from peers' shared folders via P2P.
Like these companies, we are making great efforts to educate users and to aggressively encourage the use of our built in family filter. This filter is set to "on" as the default when the KMD software is first downloaded. Upon acquiring KMD in 2002 we thought it particularly important that such a filter be made an integral part of the software and be turned on as default. This has been validated by the finding of the June 2003 report, "Fast and Present Danger: In-Home Study on Broadband Security Among American Consumers", a study conducted by America Online for the National Cyber Security Alliance, that in 97% of homes with broadband connections parents failed to employ any parental controls to block access to the vast array of adult materials available on tens of thousands of Internet Web sites. Our family filter also provides parents with a password-protected lock so that it cannot be turned off when they are out of the house. We believe it should always be used in households where children may have access to the PC. We also believe filters can never take the place of active and involved parenting.
The KMD filter is based on a confidential list of keywords (unsurprisingly culled from the terms used on the major search engines) associated with adult content and other offensive materials. No adult content filter, no matter how it works, can ever be 100 percent effective at blocking such content. That is particularly true when individuals deliberately create false metatags so that offensive content may be found in a search for innocent material. Similarly some files are salaciously or misleadingly labeled, however innocent or obscene the content might be. There is nothing unique to P2P in this regard. Just last week, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, in conjunction with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, made the first arrest under the Truth in Domains Names Act. They charged an individual with creating at least 3,000 misleading domain names, such as dinseyland.com, so that individuals making common typing mistakes, including children, would be connected to advertising sites, including those for pornographic materials, from which they could not easily exit. Announcing the arrest, U.S. Attorney James Comey stated, "The defendant is accused of taking advantage of children's common mistakes, and using that to profit by leading them by the hand into the seediest and most repugnant corners of cyberspace. His alleged actions are not clever but criminal."
We abhor such practices and we welcome any suggestions as to how we might increase the protections against unwanted exposure to adult materials available through the use of P2P technology. But, whether children are using Web browsers, instant messaging software, chat rooms or P2P software, the best means of preventing unwanted exposure to offensive materials is for parents to employ available safeguards such as KMD's family filter, and to actively monitor their children's Internet activities while periodically reviewing both the software and content on their home computer hard drives.
We appreciate this opportunity to share our views regarding pornography and P2P software. We are dedicated to the eradication of child pornography from P2P networks and will continue to cooperate with Congress, law enforcement agencies, and dedicated nongovernmental agencies in support of that shared goal. We are constantly updating the terms blocked by the KMD family filter and will take all other feasible steps to best assure that minors are not inadvertently exposed to adult content when using the KMD software. We have also helped to found a new trade group, the Distributed Computing Industry Association (DCIA), which is designed to bring together all business interests with a stake in P2P technology to collectively address shared challenges, including pornography.
We hope that this Committee and the Congress as a whole will, as they address this issue, keep in mind the many responsible actions that Sharman Networks has taken in regard to adult content, as well as the relatively minor role that P2P plays in the overall availability of such content on the Internet.
I would be pleased to answer your questions.

Comments about Evans EC Reverse Dot Snare Batter and Snare Side Head Pack with Free Pair of Pro-Mark Sticks:
As a lover of the snare drums (25 years I've been collecting them), I love experimenting with shells, snare wires and snare heads.
To the sounds of rock (of the 70 and 80) I use deep snare drums with sound control center (in different brands and finishes).
I bought the Evans EC reverse dot snare and first I impressed his circle central metal and opaque color. After it I tried on a Ludwig Supraphonic (Ludalloy), one Tama Artstar (Brass), one Yamaha Loud Custom Series (Oak),one Sonor Phonic Plus (Beech) and another vintage snare drums.... this Evans sounds produced were extremely dirty, metallic and dissonant, with unbearable harmonics in the rim-shots.
It´s not versatile: it should tighten enough to achieve a decent sound.... Only suitable for "very, very spicy sounds".

"I bought these to use as thank-you cards to coordinate with the Sketched Sweetness invitations for my son's baptism. They are both described as the color Aloe, so I took a chance and the colors do match perfectly. I was able to choose the same font on both products which was great. The quality of both the photo and the paper itself were excellent as always."
"It's great that is matches the style of the invite but I wish it was the size of the invite. For a thnk you card it should be bigger so you can actually fit a nice thank you and sentiment on it."
"I used this card as a Thank You note for my sons. It is so sweet. I love them! I used the blue/green for one boy and the brown/blue for the other. I was very pleased."
"These cards make me smile every time I look at them! Although they are meant to be baby shower thank you cards, I personalized them with my name and my husband's name and plan to use them as general purpose note cards. The card stock and print quality are very good, and I appreciate the matte paper finish which makes them easier to write on."
"We needed Thank you Notes for engagemtn presents in aa hurry. I chose these via the internet and they came within (3) days. They are very cute and simple - and I am very happy withthe overall quality."

Target once again has navy blue gloves in the WOMENS section... I picked up a second pair just in case my first ever bites it.
Good for anyone needing blue gloves.

Thanks for the tip. I may pick up a pair as backup.
Not sure if they have them online or not, but I got mine in the store... they had a strap on the wrist (much like the ones last year) and it is easily cut off... I also heard cutting out the liner makes it fit looser for bigger hands.
The pictures below are to compare to my old ones (the new ones are an inch or two longer ) and the color under better lighting.
Your welcome Arturo... you can also kinda see the armor you made right over my thumb in the background sitting on yellow foam board
thanks for the tip. I passed by target earlier and it looks like they haven't put out much cold weather stuff yet but I'll definitely keep a lookout for a set
If anyone wants me to pick them up and ship them at actual costs, just let me know and I'll see what I can do... they have s/m and l/xl sizes
um im guessing medium, do you have any idea of meausrments? I know my previous gloves were 8.5
I would guess probably like me and you would wear a size L/XL... I can see what shipping would be and get a set to you once I get the total cost.
EDIT: USPS.com says Int'l Small Flat Rate box is like 13 bucks to ship... I can very well bet that the gloves would fit in a small box no problemo.
They are 17.99 + 7% sales tax + 13.00 shipping...
I think $33 USD would cover it and most of the paypal fee.
Let me know and I'll pick them up on my way home tonight and ship them Monday.
I'll pm you my pp account
me 2... do you have an item number, or name? if i can't find them at my local target, i'll be sending you a PM
hmmm, Ohio may be getting there stuff out earlier than the others then... I'd say within the next month or so all of them will be having them.
If anyone needs me to pick them up PM me.
Thanks guys,
Nice find indeed Tony.
Our Target just stocked them a couple of days ago.
good to hear they are getting them elsewhere too
are you taking orders for these if so i would like to have yo uget a pair for me to
I can pick up a pair for anyone who wants one... just PM me and PP me and I'll get them out to you.... Where are you located?
I got the PM's/PP's and will be doing a target run tonight so I should be able to get them shipped tomorrow via USPS flat rate boxes (god I love these for calculating shipping).
picked up a pair today... great!!
Hey Tony,
Flat rate boxes are great if you're shipping internationally or if the weight of the package is heavy and if the item in the box is able to fit. In this case USPS don't charge you anything else extra.
It might be a bit costly though if you're just shipping within the U.S. and if it's just a pair of gloves in small box.
I would probably go with something like this to cut down on cost via USPS priority. or maybe smaller...
Just a thought.

For those interested... it would be $34 shipped International and $26 domestic US (I miscalculated the Paypal fees in the above post).
I can get them from my local Target(s), for as long as they have stock, and get them shipped out ASAP
Tony hi.Thanks for the help!I just picked up my back-up pair of gloves from Target after work today they only had 4 pairs of L/XL left.My original pair of gloves came straight from Italy! When I tried the L/XL on I could barely get my left hand in it let alone my right and I don't have the biggest hands in the world.So I did what was suggested by taking out the liner.Much better!!!Since the gloves are real leather they will stretch a little.I'm adding some pictures of the gloves ,store tag,upc,liner taken out and the buckel/strap taken off,and a measurement of my hand to help out the rest of you interested in figuring what size of gloves to get from Tony.Hope this helps,Jeff

I knew somebody would post it
Thanks Jeff!
just an FYI.. these are WOMENS gloves, so the sizes run small. ive got pretty average sized hands (imho), and i got the L/XL gloves and they are very TIGHT... gotta stretch them out.
i highly recommend getting the larger sizes - women's gloves sizes are different than men's.. like shoe sizes!!!!!
definitely running down to my Target to see if I can fin these babies!!! Perfect find!!!
Yeah they are tight, but they do stretch... I didn't remove the liner and my old ones are really stretched and fit very comfy... gotta stretch these ones now
Nice find man!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the find Tony !
I bought a pair from Target last year, this style is a little different this year. They are a little and I mean a little larger than last year's model.
I used a trick I found online somewhere on my other pair. Put a latex glove inside the leather glove, fill it with water, tie it off with a zip-strip. Tape the wrist end shut, and throw it in the freezer. When the ice expands, it stretches the gloves. Be careful not to overfill with water, as it might bust the seams. I did this with the pair I bought last year, and it worked like a charm!
Thanks again Tony.
- ScottyK
hey ScottyK, that is a great idea, never thought of that, lol.
Got my gloves today and they´re great..thanx for everything!!
Awesome!!! Picked up a pair, the first part of my costume is finished!
Thanks for the tip
No problem... glad to help a fellow Jango out
Now that xmas shopping is upon us, I figured I could find these online...nope
I really don't want to go out on black friday.
I went by target yesterday and saw these gloves. I tried on the L/XL and they fit pretty tight. I am going back today to buy them. After I cut out the liner they should fit more comfortably and they won't be as hot. In Texas that makes a big difference. This will be the first part of my Jango costume. How could I pass it up though...cheap and readily available.
And I suggest wearing them a lot to break them in... I did yard work wearing them and afterwards they fit great; and they were weathered
Ok I have got them all stripped down and they feel great. The one thing that bothers me a little is the loose fitting wrist. Have any of you modified the wrist in any way? I am thinking about stitching in some elastic.
I don't want to take over this thread, but if it needs to start a new one on the same topic then please do so
In my search for gloves I found these, a source inItaly
The color seems to be a little purple but i think it is a good color.
Beware! I took the lining out of these and was Mr. Blueberry hands for 2 days! Great gloves but they will turn your hands blue with the lining out. No big deal but the joke was on me at the post 501st outing dinner. Man, those guys were brutal about it. LOL!
Oh Man, I can imagine. Thanks for brightening my day. It's got to be cold up there in Wisconsin but do you think hand sweat had anything to do with the color transfer?
I think I bought a pair of them too.
Does anyone know if these are back in stock again this year?
I have not seen them this year
Nope, my target's all have suede and cloth, no leather except black this year
i checked my target back in mid october and all they had were black as well. i was looking to pick up a second pair for just in case.
None at my Target today.
I might have 1 or 2 extra pairs I'll have to dig around.
That would be incredible if you did thanks. Living in New Zealand it is very hard to track down uncommon items like blue leather gloves.
Thank you for the Tip!

[ 8/10 ]
This is a very pleasant park but it does have a few drawbacks. The water pressure is terrible. We always have to turn on our pump and run from our fresh water tank when taking showers or doing dishes. Not a deal breaker but inconvenient. The sites are narrow and most times we do not have enough room to open our awning. Also, there are several long timers with filthy RV's which downgrades the look of the park. I am surprised they are allowed to stay. Friendly staff, though the lady in the office is rather ditzy, but very friendly.

Nicely shaded campground, very friendly host. Convenient to highway but quiet. Would stay here again.

[ 10/10 ]
Located off of Interstate 70 at exit 105. Not fancy but very friendly and comfortable. All regular sites were reserved but the host was able to put us in a temporary spot for the night. He then loaned us an extra power cord to reach the 30 amp plug in. The other campers were very friendly, we wished that we could stay for another night or two. Nice little pond for fishing. We would definitely stay there again. Dump site available and included in site fee.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The 23 Men's Collegiate All-Americans set to suit up against the New Zealand Universities Touring side on Saturday have been named. The game will kick off on Saturday July 9, 2011 at 3 p.m. at The Little Q, the home of Old Mission Bay Athletic Club (OMBAC).
The All-Americans have been in camp this week at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. to prepare for the Series.
In addition to rugby-specific skill work and training, the All-Americans visited a Navy training center in the area and took part in a workout used by the elite operations force, the Navy SEALS.
The All-Americans will play two more matches after Saturday's fixture. The last two matches will take place on July 13 at Harder Stadium in Santa Barbara, Calif. and Steuber Rugby Stadium in Stanford on July 16.
Men's Collegiate All-Americans 15 Blaine Scully (University of California – Berkeley) 14 Peter Tiberio (University of Arizona) 13 Duncan Kelm (San Diego State) 12 Gareth Jones (Temple University) 11 Dustin Muhn (University of California – Berkeley) 10 JP Eloff (Davenport University) 9 Chris Saint (Penn State) 1 Mike Su'a (BYU) 2 Zach Fenoglio (Loyola Marymount) 3 James Besser (University of California – Berkeley) 4 Chris Parker (Texas A&M) 5 Nate Brakeley (Dartmouth) 6 Garrett Lambert (Life University) 7 Derek Asbun (University of California – Berkeley) 8 Ryan Roundy (BYU)
Reserves: 16 Matt Crawford (St. Mary's College of California) 17 Andy Cooke (St. Mary's College of California) 18 Mark Bonham (BYU) 19 Cam Dolan (Life University) 20 Pat Sullivan (Arkansas State) 21 Kyle Grossheider (Life University) 22 Benji Goff (University of Tennessee)23 Ray Forrester (BYU)
2011 MEN'S COLLEGIATE ALL-AMERICANS v. NEW ZEALAND UNIVERSITIES SUMMER TOUR July 9: Little Q (Old Mission Bay Athletic Club) | 3 p.m. July 13: Harder Stadium (UC- Santa Barbara) | 6:30 p.m. July 16: Steuber Rugby Stadium (Stanford University) | 1 p.m.
Friday All Americans head coach Alex Magleby will be choosing his team to face New Zealand Universities, and it will be a tough job.
The former Dartmouth All American and 7s and 15s Eagle told RUGBYMag.com that the level of rugby ability in camp is the highest he's ever seen in an All American assembly. The players have shown up in shape and ready to work.
"It's a tribute to the work done by all those college coaches out there," said Magleby, who has only one of his Dartmouth players, Nate Brakeley, on the squad. "We don't do it here. They do it every day during the college season. Our job here is to put the players in a training environment that is more challenging than the games, and develop international rugby players."
Magleby said making the Eagles should not be the goal of these players; being a great Eagle should be.
"We talk about being a podium player, which means being one of the top three in your position in the world. A swim coach will look at his team and figure if he has 70 percent of his team on the podium, he will win the meet. I want the USA to have 70 percent of their players podium players. It's an audacious goal, but I want players to think beyond just making the Eagles."
Magleby said all the players, including the small number of DI (as opposed to College Premier Division) players have impressed and slotted in just fine, thank you. He will treat all three games in this three-week series as test matches. He will select to win.
"Right now we're concerned with playing our game on Saturday and nothing more than that," he said. "We know New Zealand Universities will be a strong team, but really we need to focus on ourselves. The guys are doing a really good job taking everything in, and working hard. We have a lot of leaders on this team, and they are a great group to work with."
The Men's All Americans visited the Navy SEAL training base in Coronado, Calif. this week during their training for their three-game series with New Zealand Universities.
"That was a trip I'll never forget," said co-captain Ryan Roundy. "It was one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. We pushed ourselves, and getting just a little taste of what those guys go through day-in, day-out, makes me so much more grateful for what I have." The players were put through a series of training tasks – running, obstacle courses, team tasks, and were worn out in just a few hours.
"It was an awesome team-building experience and was not easy by any means," added co-captain Blaine Scully. "It was an honor to be allowed to train with one of the greatest teams on the planet. We learned a lot in a short amount of time and came away with 100 different lessons on mental toughness. The SEALS are a really high-performance team that operates with the highest stakes. It was a really good experience to see the kind of pressure they put themselves under."
Roundy said he was struck first of all by how taking even a second off in a team is exposed in SEALS training. With seven men carrying a log above their heads, if one guy drops his hands, everyone feels it. It's not so exposed in a rugby game, said Roundy, but the lesson holds.
The BYU captain was also humbled by what the SEALs personnel are expected to do as a daily lifestyle.
"Even with us I could say to myself, OK, two more hours and we're back playing rugby and having fun; these guys, they do it every day, so they can do it as a career and keep our country safe," said Roundy. "Once we're gone, they don't leave."
"We came out of that with more of a sense of our collective identity," added Scully. "We know we can handle any situation, any time. We've been through tougher times."
All Americans coach Alex Magleby has a tough job this summer, because as well as selecting his All Americans and getting them ready for New Zealand Universities, he has to scout, select and train a 7s team.
While All-Collegiate 7s teams have taken the field before (Emil Signes put a team in the 7s NASC in the late 1990s), this is the first time that an All American 7s team has officially taken the field.
We at RUGBYMag.com thought we'd help Magleby out with our selections for a 7s All American team.
First, some disclaimers. We decided to go with players who are available. So, while we would love to have Thretton Palamo on this team, he's now playing football for the University of Utah. Taylor Mokate is injured. Scott LaValla, who led Trinity College, Dublin University, to an All-Ireland 7s title, is in training with Stade Francais
So they are off limits.
Similarly, the military academy players are also largely unavailable, and that keeps Dave Geib, Ben Leaatigaga, Will Holder, Seamus Siefring and Nate Arnsberger off the team.
What we also struggled with was predicting who might be good at 7s even if we hadn't seen a player perform at 7s. Pat Clifton took a few more flyers than Alex Goff on that level, but either way, while it's not difficult to predict whether a player might have 7s potential, predicting whether a player can perform at a high level is much tougher.
Pat Clifton's best 14 players:Prop: Cam Dolan (Life) Shaun Potgieter (Arkansas State)Hooker: Nate Ebner (Ohio State) Seamus Kelly (Cal)Prop: Ryan Roundy (BYU) Benji Goff (Tennessee)Scrumhalf: Peter Tiberio (Arizona) Tonata Lauti (Utah)Flyhalf: JP Eloff (Davenport) Shaun Davies (BYU)Center: Don Pati (Utah) Jarred Whippy (BYU)Wing: Blaine Scully (Cal) Rocco Mauer (Bowling Green)
Alex Goff's best 14 players: Prop: Cam Dolan (Life) Ryan Roundy (BYU) Hooker: Nate Ebner (Ohio State) Rob Carlson (St. Mary's) Prop: Nate Brakely (Dartmouth) Blaine Scully (Cal) Scrumhalf: Peter Tiberio (Arizona) Dylan Lubbe (BYU) Flyhalf: Nick Downer Tonata Lauti (Utah) Center: Don Pati Seamus Kelly (Cal) Wing: Rocco Mauer Tim Stanfill (CWU)
This list misses a bunch of players. Tim Maupin and Bubba Jones of St. Mary's, Danny Barrett of Cal, Duncan Kelm of San Diego State, Brett Thompson of Arizona, Nick Viviani of Bowling Green, Adam Ducoing and Bobby Johns of LSU, Kellen Gordon of Central Washington, Tanner Scott and Chris Downer of Dartmouth, Alex Lee of North Carolina, Chris Saint of Penn State, Tim Acker of Kutztown, Gareth Jones of Temple, Danny James of Utah, Dave Martini of UCLA and several others. But it's a start – an opportunity to consider how much 7s talent there really is out there.
We've played fast and loose with some positions, but that's a good thing. Effective 7s players should be able to play wing and prop (Blaine Scully) and a smart halfback should be able to step in at scrumhalf or flyhalf (Dylan Lubbe, Don Pati, sort of).

BOULDER, Colo. – USA Rugby All American Head Coach Alex Magleby today named his 2011 Men's Collegiate All-Americans Touring Squad.
The team consists of the top men's collegiate rugby players in the country and will assemble for a training camp at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. in early July to prepare for a three-match series with the New Zealand Universities team. The 30-man squad has players from the roughly 22,000 men's collegiate rugby players in the country.
The matches against the New Zealand Universities are to be held in San Diego (July 9), Santa Barbara (July 13) and Stanford (July 16).
"The players we selected for the Touring Squad are athletic and experienced. There are some exciting players who earned their spot in this squad through their outstanding play this season and will get to experience in an Olympic training environment, take on the challenge of representing their country against a formidable international opponent, and have the opportunity to put their hand up for future selection into the senior national teams," Magleby said.
The coach also noted that many of the players at this camp will be Olympic hopefuls for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
The All-American pathway, beginning with the High School All-Americans, is a proven route to playing for the Eagles. In fact, four of the players on the touring squad; Cam Dolan (Life University), Ryan Roundy (BYU), Blaine Scully (University of California – Berkeley) and Peter Tiberio (University of Arizona) have all represented the USA at the senior international level.
Nine players on the 2011 All-American Touring Squad have played for the High School All-Americans (Under-17s) or the Junior All-Americans (Under-20s).
Scully and Dolan are also included in the USA's 50-man preliminary squad that Eagles Head Coach Eddie O'Sullivan submitted last week to the 2011 Rugby World Cup (RWC) organizers. Nineteen of the of the 50 RWC hopefuls named in that squad are former Collegiate All-Americans.
Forwards: James Besser (University of California – Berkeley), Matt Crawford (St. Mary's College of California), Zach Fenoglio (Loyola Marymount), Ray Forrester (BYU), Nick Mostyn (Utah), Mike Su'a (BYU), Andy Cooke (St. Mary's College of California), Mark Bonham (BYU), Nate Brakeley (Dartmouth), Nick Civetta (Notre Dame), Chris Parker (Texas A&M), Derek Asbun (University of California – Berkeley), Jordan Badia-Bellinger (Claremont Colleges), Cam Dolan (Life University), Garrett Lambert (Life University), Dave Martini (UCLA), Shaun Potgieter (Arkansas State), Ryan Roundy (BYU)

*Although I will not tell you the name of the creek I fished, I will divulge to you that it is in the Eagles Nest Wilderness, and it is a tributary of the Colorado River.
It's Labor Day Weekend, you want to go fishing for a day but you know that every notable river in the state will be flooded with other anglers, what do you do? For me the solution was simple, grab my 2wt. and head for the hills. There is something about fishing the high country in September that has always kept me coming back for more. Maybe its the fall colors splashed across every mountain side, or the eagerness of every fish to eat your fly with reckless abandonment, or maybe just the joy of walking around the back country and not seeing another sole. Regardless of the reason, it's an annual past time for me that has always produced some very special and memorable experiences.
When welded loops became common place on the end of premium fly lines, the perfection loop went from being an obscure knot, to one that is a must have for fly anglers of all skill levels. Although some people dislike a loop-to-loop connection between their fly line and leader, I have found over the years that it's benefits far out weigh any of its drawbacks. It is incredibly easy, fast and efficient to attach your leader, and it also is a pretty seamless connection that slides through your guides easily. The best part of this knot, it is incredibly easy.
Step 1:
Form a single loop by bringing the tag end behind the standing part of leader. The tag should be on the right-hand side.
