Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of New York scorecards, email suggestions to email@example.com.
Please see our writing guidelines if you would like to add results from an individual scorecard to this legislator's profile.
Linares is married, has two children, a granddaughter and two grandsons.[1]

Hi Gang,
Another update!
While taking a break from taxes I decided to finish up the back instrument panel covers – not sure why but I was really dreading this part… So it made sense to do it during tax season? ; )
First thing… knock out Chewie's upper back panel
I then made this steep cut for the lower panels
Which will cover this area
Without boring you too much… I made all the cuts, sanded smooth and bolted into place
Overhang to sand – I left the overhang to ensure I had the same angle as the instrument panel sides
Chewie's side
HMMMM… needs some primer
Sanded, smoothed and primed
All the edges and the back and lower panels will be painted black – this hides any and all imperfections (thank the maker)
In place
Definitely needs some paint!
I then decided to dust off the ol console and light her up!
More to Follow!

Propagation of Sycamore tree by seed
bookjunky4life(5 Central IL)July 1, 2009
I have some sycamore seeds from my boss's back yard that I'm guessing are from this year? We are at the border of zone 5/6 in Illinois. How does one go about growing these seeds? Do you let them winter outside and plant the next spring? How deep, etc. would you plant? I've read that sycamore seeds are easy to grow but can't find details on how to grow them.
albert_135(Sunset 2 or 3)
The name Sycamore is used for perhaps six or more different plants. If you figure out which one you have go to Seeds and Seedpods to confirm what the seed should look like.
Here is a link that tells you how to plant Sycamore tree seeds inside and outside. I hope it helps.

Ruins of Empuries
... in the world where you will find a Greek and a Roman city side by side and it is truly a sight to see. We wandered around this unique place for most of the afternoon. We lifted some black covers off a couple of the floors of houses in the Roman side and found floors of mosaics, wow, they are almost pristine and so old. We walked to the gate of the Roman city to the Roman wall, there was a little history plate ...
Nosotros en España!
... met a few locals tonight who will be at tomorrow's "fin de ano" (end of year) celebration and I think it will be fun!
Night night!
Here are a few pics from Spain!
12/31 update - Added a few more pictures from our walk on the beach today.
1/1 update - Corrected the town - a suburb of Barcelona. Feliz A�o Nuevo!
Last day here. We are going to the caves this morning and then having paella for lunch, so keen to finally have some traditional Spanish food. Last night dinner was quite good, we went to a restaurant and had muscles which were so yum! Also some fish soup which was strange but good. It's sunny here today and looks like a beautiful day. Let's see how the day pans out ...
... quite similar, lots of relaxing, exploring and eating of course! We had crepes both days. I honestly don't know how people aren't fat here, they eat SO much sugary food, and also a **** load of oil. I would say they go through 4 litres of oil in a couple of months. The scenery is beautiful, everyone is friendly and it just has a nice feel about it. There are beautiful houses everywhere, I suppose this motivates me to get an amazingly high paid job so I can travel a lot ...
Platja d'Aro Aire...

Ravens: 'Right where we want to be'
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The music blared in the Baltimore Ravens locker room Saturday as the players threw their football gear into black duffel bags lying in front of their cubicles.
Next stop, New Orleans.
After one final practice at their own training facility, the Super Bowl-bound Ravens will take Sunday off before heading for the Big Easy on Monday afternoon in anticipation of their matchup on Feb. 3 against the San Francisco 49ers.
"We're right where we want to be," wide receiver Torrey Smith said. "Now we have an opportunity to play in the big one. But at the end of the day, we're still getting ready for a football game."
Coach John Harbaugh conducted practice from Thursday through Saturday as if it was a normal work week. They went hard on Thursday and Friday and eased up Saturday.
More On Super Bowl XLVII
From the battle of the Harbaughs to the final game of Ray Lewis' career, ESPN has you covered for all things Niners and Ravens at Super Bowl Central.

• Topics Page: The Super Bowl
• Super Bowl Q&A | Road to Superdome
• Meet the defenses: Ravens | 49ers
"We've had a great week. We had an excellent practice," Harbaugh said after the closed two-hour session. "The guys are very sharp and they're excited. We'll have to go down there and do just as well (or) do better."
The next time the Ravens hit the practice field, it will be in New Orleans. This week, at least, there were no distractions.
"I think it's always important to have a good practice no matter what," Harbaugh said. "You've got to practice well to play well. You pretty much play the way you practice. That's something that we learned when we were kids and that's not going to change."
It was final practice at the team's training complex for Ray Lewis, who intends to retire after the Super Bowl. Center Matt Birk has made no such announcement, but there is a possibility the 36-year-old is also preparing for his last game.
"I don't think like that," Birk said. "I just try to live in the moment. That's just kind of my mindset. I don't think about the future or if this could be it. It drives my wife nuts, but that's just not how I operate."
Now in his 15th NFL season -- the fourth with Baltimore -- Birk's knees are scarred from several operations and he had surgery during the offseason to repair varicose veins in his legs. But he played in all 16 games during the regular season and remained solid in the middle of the offensive line during the postseason.
"I'm not sure about Matt's plans," Harbaugh said. "If he decides to come back next year that would be awesome. He's smart, he's tough. To my eye, he's playing the best football that he's played since he's been here, right now. To have that be true at the end of a (long) season is very impressive. We would not be where we are without Matt Birk."
Looking ahead to the challenge next Sunday, Harbaugh called the 49ers "a very well-coached football team." He said it with a grin, because San Francisco is coached by his little brother, Jim.

GE creates a 'data lake' for new industrial ecosystemAugust 10, 2014 9:07 PM
Share with others:
New technology products head at us constantly. There is the latest smartphone, the shiny new app, the hot social network, even the smarter thermostat.
As great (or not) as all these may be, each is a small part of a much bigger process that rarely is admired. They all belong inside a world-changing ecosystem of digital hardware and software, spreading into every area of our lives.
Thinking about what is going on behind the scenes is easier if we consider the automobile, also known as "the machine that changed the world." Cars succeeded through the widespread construction of highways and gas stations. Those things created a global supply chain of steel plants and refineries. Seemingly unrelated things, including suburbs, fast food and drive-time talk radio, arose as a result.
The current dominant industrial ecosystem is relentlessly acquiring and processing digital information. It demands newer and better ways of collecting, shipping, and processing data, much the way cars needed better road building. And it is spinning out its own unseen businesses.
A few recent developments illustrate the new ecosystem. General Electric plans to announce today that it has created a "data lake" method of analyzing sensor information from industrial machinery in places such as railroads, airlines, hospitals and utilities. GE has been putting sensors on everything it can for a couple of years, and now it is out to read all that information quickly.
The company, working with an outfit called Pivotal, said that in the past three months, it has looked at information from 3.4 million miles of flights by 24 airlines using GE jet engines. GE said it figured things such as possible defects 2,000 times faster than it could before.
The company has to, since it is getting so much more data.
"In 10 years, 17 billion pieces of equipment will have sensors," said William Ruh, vice president of GE software. "We're only one-tenth of the way there."
It hardly matters if Mr. Ruh is off by 5 billion or so. Billions of humans already are augmenting that number with their own packages of sensors, called smartphones, fitness bands and wearable computers. Almost all of that will get uploaded someplace, too.
Shipping that data creates challenges. In June, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, announced a method of engineering fiber optic cable that could make digital networks run 10 times faster. The idea is to get more parts of the system working closer to the speed of light, without involving the "slow" processing of electronic semiconductors.
"We're going from millions of personal computers and billions of smartphones to tens of billions of devices, with and without people, and that is the early phase of all this," said Larry Smarr, director of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, located inside UCSD. "A gigabit a second was fast in commercial networks, now we're at 100 gigabits a second. A terabit a second will come and go. A petabit a second will come and go."
In other words, Mr. Smarr thinks commercial networks will eventually be 10,000 times faster than the best current systems. "It will have to grow, if we're going to continue what has become our primary basis of wealth creation," he said.
Add computation to collection and transport. Last month, UC Berkeley's AMP Lab, created two years ago for research into new kinds of large-scale computing, spun out a company called Databricks, which uses new kinds of software for fast data analysis on a rental basis. Databricks plugs into the 1 million-plus computer servers inside the global system of Amazon Web Services and soon will work inside similar-sized megacomputing systems from Google and Microsoft.
It was the second company out of the AMP Lab this year. The first, called Mesosphere, enables a kind of pooling of computing services, building the efficiency of even million-computer systems.
"What is driving all this is the ability to collect, store and process data at a speed and granularity never seen before, over wide areas," said Michael Franklin, director of the AMP Lab. "When you do this, you can see patterns you never saw before."
Of course, it is impossible to know if these are the big changes. We are only one tenth — or is it one ten-thousandth? — of the way there.United States - North America - California

Release Date:
October 23, 2001
On Feeding the Wheel, Jordan Rudess has modernized the keyboard sounds pioneers like E. Power Biggs, Rick Wakeman, Gary Wright, Alan Hovhaness, and Keith Emerson broke ground with. The latter-day third ivory player in Dream Theater takes Gary Wright's Dream Weaver a step or two into the twilight zone. "Headspace" is a nice moody piece, kind of like Edgar Froese outside of Kraftwerk with more activity in the mix. "Quantum Soup" features Steve Morse of the Dregs on guitar solo with Terry Bozzio of Missing Persons playing percussion, the first of eight numbers the ex-Zappa drummer provides the bottom for. Track two has its own evolution, from jazz/progressive rock to a bassy funk eight minutes into the tune, with the 11 minutes of "Quantum Soup" melting nicely into the six minutes of "Shifting Sands." The spaced notations in the CD booklet are vaguely familiar, that aforementioned Dream Weaver concept a simplified version of this. "We all feed wheels that carry our hopes and dreams to another day" is the sentiment written by Rudess, and those thoughts are unleashed in music which will appeal to fans of Dream Theater and ELP and those who feel Steely Dan is too mainstream. "Revolving Door" could be the theme to Hawaii Five-O turned upside down; strange vocals invade for a few moments on this otherwise instrumental enterprise. The title track can be a bit much except for the staunchest fans of progressive rock, over seven minutes of the piano runs Jordan Rudess learned at Juilliard embellished with high-end production and superb drums. For those who thought Emerson, Lake Palmer's "The Nutrocker" wasn't energetic enough, explore this disc. "Dreaming in Titanium" is like some prelude to music by Prince, while "Center of the Sphere" is part of the artist's quest, the "search for the ultimate sound" that Rudess speaks of. Bobby Hebb has stated that he has found the lost chord, now he's trying to figure out what to do with it. Feeding the Wheel is definitely another musician on that same journey. Joe Viglione, Rovi

Filling Those Sink Holes In Granite Counters For Soap Dispensers
Since "holes in granite slyly covered by soap & lotion dispenser plus a bottle of Ms. Meyers cleaner" doesn't really belong on a For Sale listing…
…we finally took the time to solve our hidden hole issue in the kitchen.
These two little buggers are leftover from when we swapped faucet fixtures and no longer needed all four holes (but we actually appreciate that they're there because they keep things flexible for anyone who might want to switch out the fixture someday and accommodate an in-counter soap dispenser and a separate sprayer again). We've mentioned before how we've just been covering them with soap bottles and many of you have politely nudged us to seal them up more securely. And let's just say the prospect of having a home inspector coming 'round was the final push we needed to abandon our current "out of sight, out of mind" approach.
Luckily the solution was a mere $4 thanks to these babies from Lowe's (yup, they were less than two dollars a pop).
It only took us about 5 minutes to screw these faucet hole covers into place (though it did require two sets of hands).
We especially like that it allows us to declutter the countertop even more whenever folks come over for showings. Sorry Ms. Meyers, but you're officially banished back to your proper place under the sink. Although any new homeowner who wants to go back to storing their soap on the counter could easily hide the hole covers again if that's more their style. We actually really like the more open look though.
So yes, we're kicking butt and taking names around here in the home improvement department. How you like me now?
I'm kidding. This was the easiest project ever, which required no tools. Yawn. Can't wait to tackle big transformations again in that elusive future house of ours. In the good news department, we think we're closing in on it. Counting down the minutes. (Note: This isn't teasing. We can't announce anything yet because nothing is really for sure. We're just closing in. We hate that these things take time, but hey, they do).

It's too bad you can't just take the faucet with you, i mean…it WAS a gift…. hehe.
Yeah! I am one of those who was troubled by the holes, so I am happy to see them filled. I know – I gotta get a life! Fingers crossed you find your new home sweet home soon. You'll know it's the one when you feel it. That's my belief.
I'm liking the more open look, too. :) Plus it shows a buyer they can change the faucet to something 4-holed if they want without making holes in the granite (although I'm sure everyone loves your touch faucet).
A possible house found… can't wait to read more about it :)
Ooooh, did you make an offer! I hate being teased. Can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve!
When Jim and I start a DIY project many times we end up saying, "It's never easy." How nice that you had any easy project for a change! susan
Closing in on it…REALLY?
How. Freaking. Exciting.
Can't wait to hear the news!
Waiting on pins and needles….patiently, of course! :)
Is you know what items your leaving and taking with you, does that mean you've sold the house?? Crossing my fingers for you guys! :)
Hi guys! I wanted to wish you the best on the sale of your home, we just went through the process of selling and buying recently- oy vey!
QUESTION: What is your granite? I'm guessing Bianco Romano or Kashmir White. I can't find the post where you revealed your kitchen completion and detailed the details. :)
So…a home inspector eh? I'm thinking your house is on it's way to being sold! :) Fingers crossed for you guys. Can't wait to hear all about it!
Possible congratulations on your possible closing! Possibly good luck :) Any offers on your current casa?
So cool to truly see an "easy" upgrade.
Is it okay to be sad and happy for you all at the same time? I love the home you've made, but I'm so excited to see what's next!
Oooh, cliffhanger!! :-)
If by "closing in on it" you mean "closing on it," then I'm pretty darn excited. If by "closing in on it" you mean "closing in on it…" well, I'm not going to lie…I'm pretty excited either way :).
I was so excited that I made tons of grammatical errors in my above comment. Sheesh! ;)
HAHAHAHA I'm so slow this morning…Sink Holes…HAHAHAHAHA
Ahhh I can't wait to hear!
Just curious- what size is your sink? Did you ever regret not going with a single bowl version?
Oooooh! You've got me hangin' on the edge of my seat over here! Inspector, "closing in" and future "big transformations"? Can't wait to see what happens.
Oh, and those sink hole covers are pretty cool too. Didn't even know they made such a thing.
PS…random question for you. The hubs and I have ordered the Pilar faucet for our soon to be ready house (and just now realized that that's what you guys have…nice!). We keep wondering what temperature the faucet comes on at when you use the touch function to turn it on? Or is it pre-determined by which "on" position you leave the handle in? I'm thinking it's going to be super handy with all of our reno-dust and paint everywhere, glad to hear you guys have liked it!
what a great quick and easy fix! love the granite, too
An easy fix guys ;)
And good luck on finding your next dream home :) Wished I was on market for YHL home!
Thanks for the quick reply on the faucet…good to know!
Also, I just found this online magazine (I don't even think there's a print version available yet because it's so new) and when I looked through it, I couldn't help but think you guys would enjoy it. I've loved perusing through all three issues! Check it out at: http://covetgarden.com/

Comments about Alpinestars Tech 3 AT Motorcycle Boots:
Finally ordered a new pair of Alpinestars. After wearing out my old Tech 8's, I went back with Alpinestars because of their comfort and durability. Since most of my riding now is in the woods and money is tight, I opted for the Tech 3's. Bike Bandit shipped them extremely fast, 3 days, received them the day before I went riding. Walked in them out of the box for 30 minutes and they were very comfortable. Next days 60 mile roundtrip ride was very pleasant surprisingly. Checked all stores and websites and Bike Bandits pricing was very competitive. Most local stores didn't carry the AT. Time will tell for durability, but very happy at the moment.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great fit
By XR650R
from AZ
I was not expecting these boots to fit so snuggly considering Im so skinny. But the are true to size and are very snug. I wear size 13 sneaker and bought a size 13 in these and they fit great!Im 6' 2'' and 160pnds
Alpinestars tech 3 off road AT boots
By BMW
from Northwest
Great great boots. The AT off road boot is perfect for off road single tracks and mountain riding. Comfortable with enough stiffness that doesn't make it feel like a ski boot. Impressive protection high on the shin but just below the knee cap. These boots are perfect for the big calf person, which allows the person to adjust the top of the boot. Multiple buckles to adjust for proper fit. It should be noted that it only took about an hour or two to break in the boot. I ordered a half size larger, which allowed a half to a quarter inch of clearance. Perfect boot and price!

Should have bought the other sole
By groop
from OC, SoCal
I bought these for dual sporting, thinking that after they break in they may be a better choice for walking near trails than the standard mx sole. However, the AT waffle sole is so grippy on my pegs that I find my foot getting wedged/stuck between the shifter and peg. They're brand new, so hopefully this won't be a problem for long. I also noticed that the soles are so thick that it's hard to get a good feel for the brake pedal.All that negative stuff aside, the fit and finish of this boot is top-notch. The buckles secure firmly and have enough adjustments for most legs. Great boot for under 200 bucks but I hope they break in soon.
Service and delivery comments:
most products available, but I would like to see updated fiches for 2008-9 model bikes, plus better descriptions of parts.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

For all that is good and made of rubber
måndag 22 december 2014
I'm a huge fan of the [REC] saga, particulary the first two. The first one is just a great horrormovie and the first sequel is among one of the rare few - the sequels who are as good as the original movie. Heck, I even love the reason behind all of this that is revealed towards the end of [REC]2, something that I know a lot of people don't. Part three was a fun watch too, although the dark and nasty tone of the first two was sorely missed. It felt more like an 80:s horrormovie.
So now it's finally here, the movie we have been waiting for. The final part in the saga and I will admit to being a bit peeved when I learned that the whole thing was set on a boat. No major apocalypse in the streets here, something I was hoping for. But the trailer looked good so I kept an open mind.
And I am happy to say that [REC]4 is a solid piece in the series. The movie begins with a couple of policemen entering the building where the first two movies were taking place to place explosives and find Angela Vidal, the heroine of the first movie still alive. Flash forward an unknown amount of time and we are on a boat with a security lockdown. Angela and the two policemen are in quarantine, a lab has been set up and people are working on something, possibly a cure. We learn that (slight spoiler for part 2) Angela is not carrying the virus like everyone, including the audience, thinks. The people doing all the testing have a testsubject locked up and soon someone let's it out. Mayhem ensues. Terrific mayhem ensues.
I have a couple of issues with the movie. First, there is an awful lot of shakycam which can be quite disorienting in some of the attackscenes when everything is shot in closeups. I saw the movie at a cinema and suspect that it might look better on a tv, time will tell.
The second issue I have with the movie is a minor but sad one. And now there will be major SPOILERS of [REC]2 and [REC]4. It turns out that the cause of it all is a parasite, a large slimy thing that wants to find the perfect host. This is incredibly sad to me because I loved the reveal in part two when it turns out that the whole thing is a disease that might have been (accidentally? Haven't seen part two since it was released) created by the Catholic church. There are no demons in part 4, something that i truly missed. Sure, the concept of a satanic parasite is quite fun but the notion of a satanic virus is supremely cool. This was a letdown for me but it didn't stop me from enjoying the movie. A lot. This just struck me hours after watching it and it's what makes me a little sad. I wanted more demons. END OF SPOILERS
And the bottom line is that [REC]4 is a great horrorflick. It's tense from the start, building up to an awesome explosion of violence and mayhem and never let's you down as it frantically runs along to a great climax. It does tend to focus more on jumpscares than trying to freak you out in the darkness but there is a sequence towards the end that involves infected monkeys that is a nailbiter. And I am happy to say (this must be the first time for me) that this isn't the gorefest I was expecting from the trailer. Sure, there is gore, but the movie is more brutally violent than messily gory which works great.
It might not have been what I expected and hoped for but it's a great finale to the saga.

Maniac nurses (1990)
Seriously, I have no idea how to properly rate Maniac nurses. No clue, it's just so mindbogglingly bisarre and strange that just explaining the plot taxes my brain too much. But here goes.
A number of nurses hang around in an old hospital in their sexy underwear, lying about like footage from a lingerie commercial. While not fondling each other they kidnap young women and torture them or just go about blowing the heads of men. Or each other. The leader of the motley crew, Ilsa, has a young daughter that she either wants to make love to or already has a sexual relationship with (it really isn't made clear). The daughter, Sabrina, is a sociopath that reads violent comicbooks and just kills people randomly. While all this is going on there is a somewhat pretentious narration explaining why everyone is a sexual pervert and from time to time some text pops up on the screen scoring everything, dealing out points to all the maniac nurses.
If this had been a porno with all the porno edited out it would explain why this is so baffingly incompetent but it doesn't seem like it is. I guess the director just wanted to make a violent movie with naked women and made it up as he went along. There is some sort of perverted satisfaction in watching this but I can't really decide if I was actually entertained by it. The dubbing is awful, the ladies cannot act whatsoever and nothing makes any good damn sense!
And the best thing about it? I bought it from the director himself while at Weekend of horrors 2014 in Oberhausen. I am a proud owner of a personally signed dvd. I just wished that I had seen the movie before I left Germany, I have a lot of questions for him now.
Just a big WTF. And I would probably watch it again with beer and friends.

Aux yeux des vivants aka Among the living (2014)
Why are Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo so obsessed with violence that truly hurts? Sick fucking bastards. This time they're telling a story about three young kids on the start of summer vacation that see a strange man carry a bound woman into an abandoned movieset in the woods. They follow and discover a quite dysfunctional family living in the ruins. Mayhem and death ensues.
Among the living might not go all the way Inside style (there is far less onscreen gore here and actually a couple of surprisingly gorefree deaths that made me wonder if I was watching a censored version) but there is some pretty harrowing brutal violence going on here as the movie progresses. The only flaw of the story is that it never really manages to blend the Stand by me-ish part of the care-free youths roaming the outskirts of their hometown with the more straightforwards horror bits. Both parts are fine enough with good child actors and a number of creepy bits but as the movie is only 85 minutes long including end titles we never really get to go deep enough into them as we really need and want to. The main villain is quite creepy and the death he dishes out is at times nicely harrowing but it isn't enough. A good flick for sure but nowhere near the insanity of Inside or Livid. It makes you wonder if the movie was cut down for pacing, it sure feels like that.
I do love the sight of a very pregnant Beatrice Dalle brandishing a large kitchen knife in the beginning of the movie, brought a nice grin to my face.

Sucker Punch (2011)
This is a cautionary tale.
This movie feels like it was written by a hormonally imbalanced 13 year old teenager who has overdosed on video games, which paints a not so pretty picture about the mindset of Zack Snyder especially since the whole fucking movie revolves around watching Emily Browning dress up like a thirteen year old schoolgirl. Everything is set to (mostly) awful popmusic that very rarely fit the tone of the movie other than the million scenes where the girls are walking in slow motion towards the camera, an overused theme if there ever was one that could have bordered on parody if I didn't know that the whole thing is totally moronically serious. It all boils down to the viewer enduring waves upon waves of Snyders patently retarded fight scenes where every punch ends in slomo and when the story is as bad as this you wonder what the hell is wrong with his brain.
At least it's better than Watchmen. The only reason I'm giving it one and a half star is that I kinda like the first two sequences, the samurais and steam zombies. And the fact that it flopped. But the rest is just a big bloated turd.

Psycho pike (1992)
Psycho pike! Psychooo pike!
I hate fish. Sure, sharks are cool and majestic creatures and there are quite a few deep sea creatures that I enjoy scaring myself with by looking at pictures of them on the internet. But most of them are just smelly creatures that really don't deserve to live. Then there are the Pikes. Pikes are vile and disgusting creatures, massmurderers of our lakes. You will never see a Discovery special teaching you that they should be revered, I can assure you that. I've always wanted to see a killer pike movie and thought that I never would get the chance but to my amazement there had been one out there for twenty-two years! Ok, it doesn't seem like it got an official release but still! Twenty-two years! There was a large hole in soul until today! I finally feel complete!
The movie? Not particulary good. Low budget semi-serious stuff about pollution causing a pike to grow huge and some people that want to hide it. Two couples out on a fishing trip. You know. The usual schtick. Poor acting and very little actual pike. The final attack is awesome though and the pike itself is rubbergoodness beyond awesome. The movie not so much. It's obvious that they went for quirky (and who can blame them?) and some of it works. Sorta. I did have a nice time watching it but mostly for the novelty of it.

Soon back from the dead
If anyone cares the reason there has been no activity at all here is the fact that I have been home taking care of my daughter for the last two months. Swedens paid paternity leave. Or whatever it is called. Having a baby means very little movies, especially after they start walking.
So, soon. Soon.
So, soon. Soon.

Star crystal (1986)
Star Crystal really wants to be Alien but ends up like the slow little cousin that maybe stayed under water for an extended period of time and suffered brain damage because of oxygen depravation. It plays out its cards straight, an expedition on Mars discovers a strange egglike object in the ground and brings it onboard their spaceship. On route they are all killed and their craft taken to a spacestation that has some sort of meltdown and explodes, leaving only five survivors on the very same ship. Soon enough they start to die one by one, killed by a tentacled creature that somehow has control over the ship.
Sounds good, eh? Not really. I could go on and on about the low budget inhibiting the scifi elements of the story, the very strange design of the spacecraft where every room is connected by small tunnels and the piss poor acting but I will leave you with one thing. The ending. There will be SPOILERS now but frankly, read on. It will spare you 90 minutes that you will never get back. You see, while killing the crew one by one and sucking their bodies dry of all fluids the alien creature accesses the ships computer to learn about humanity and ends up reading the bible. Then everyone becomes friends, the alien apologizes and everyone departs as friends. There is even a scene towards the end where we are supposed to feel sorry for the creature as it is left behind. Yes. I'm not making this up. End of SPOILERS.
So, what we have here is a cheap Alien ripoff with one of the most preposterous endings of all time. At least it is weird enough to be one of those "Ok, did you hear about the one where..." movies.
And I love that poster which has nothing to do with the movie, it feels more like it was ripped off from Lifeforce. Those were the days when the poster really meant something.

Coolio Is Signed to Pornhub Now
'90s star is free to feature the female "talent" in videos like "Take It to the Hub"
If you thought Cooking With Coolio was the last you would hear from the 90s rapper, boy were you wrong. TMZ reports that the MC has teamed with Pornhub for the release of his new music — as in, that's his "label" now" — and the use of the pornography site's "talent." Regarding the latter, he can be seen putting this perk to use in the shoot for "Take It to the Hub," an experience which comes complete with a twerking dino-babe.
It's been nearly 20 years since the world was gifted "Gangster's Paradise" by the now 50-year-old artist, but he can be seen spryly pouring water on the white shirts of spring chickens in the footage below, because ... desperation loves company? Coolio now joins the ranks of rappers gone actual sex-sellers — making all those '90s hip-hop naysayers now seem less hyperbolic — alongside Tyga and The-Dream, sorta.
But, hey, how many Coolio fans under the age of 18 can there be? Watch the TMZ clip, and scroll down for more (a handful NSFW) photos shared on Twitter from the video shoot.

The BoomPro does NOT work with my PSB M4U2 headphones. I guess now i have to wait for the ModMic 4.0.
What other options do I have at this point?
The BoomPro does NOT work with my PSB M4U2 headphones. I guess now i have to wait for the ModMic 4.0.
What other options do I have at this point?
Ahh. The USB port may act as a passthrough then...
I think so. It even recharges the controllers just fine.
I'm at the gym everyday. They get a little stupid with their selection of music. If I didn't see a bunch of weights and machines i would think i just stepped into a concert. They play all their music SOOOOO loud. I'll just flip the noise cancelation and it drowns out whatever BS they have on. It's the thing I use the most so it wasn't a option NOT to have it.
I've gone option 2 which will be a ModMic into a Rockit Adapter into my series 7 amp. I just ordered a Quad Mogami from one of the forum members here. Can't wait to try that out.
oh and as far as the NC making headphones sound worse......I tested personally 15 or so NC (including the QC15s which for being so trendy were actually really good) and read over 30 reviews of the M4U2 and you'd be surprised how many state the M4U2 headphones is ONE of the best NC headphones on the market. But as i mentioned they are for gym use (and i guess gaming set) for now. Eventually I want to get a high end headphone set up.
Someone brought a retail copy to the game room today; although the copyright text mentions Dolby Labs, there is otherwise no presence of a Dolby logo for anything on the case or the disc. (Nobody played it because they were too busy playing Tales of Graces f instead, though.)
For what it's worth, the original GameCube release doesn't have Dolby Pro Logic II-encoded output, either. It's just stereo.
And speaking of which...I know I'm supposed to be more tolerant of old graphics and all, but dear god, this game just looks far too pixellated with a Wii, component cables and an HDTV. It's borderline painful to look at without any form of anti-aliasing and makes me feel like I stepped into the early-1990s era of PC gaming. I really should've played it when I first bought it so that it wouldn't have felt quite as dated.
Unfortunately, one of my friends tells me the PS3 version's been downgraded to 30 FPS, even though there should be no technical reason whatsoever for that.
it is but for some reason i got no sound. Very odd.
everything was connected correctly. No go.
I'll do a video on my iPhone if you want and send it to you. lol.

Me and my boyfriend just got back from a 7 night stay in Jaco. I don't normally write reviews but I had to once we stayed here! We booked 3 nights with Celine because I had read such great reviews. We ended up extending our trip as soon as we arrived because this place is so amazing and you feel right at home. Not only was the hotel beautiful, clean and safe but Celine and Mike were just as welcoming. They were extremely helpful and 100% accommodating. Impeccable customer service. We borrowed bikes (for free) and took surf lessons at the camp with Mike. He is a great instructor and I highly recommend taking lessons with him when you stay! The prices were already very reasonable but both Celine and Mike did what they could to help us out (ie. Discounted surf lesson if the tide was not good and very cheap board rentals during the day).
The rooms themselves were extremely clean with fresh sheets, towels and flowers daily. The bed and pillows were comfy and the water was warm and had good pressure. The hotel had AC, tvs, and Wi-fi with a fully stocked kitchen that I wish we would have taken better advantage of. We were able to rent bikes for free and if we had any questions Celine and Mike were there to give suggestions and help us in any way. The hotel is a short 5 minute walk to the beach and a 10 min walk to town. Even though you are not right in the heart of the town the area is safe and the beach is quieter and less busy.
I would recommend this place to anyone who is staying in Jaco and I am going to stay here again in the future when I decide to come back! You are very lucky if you are able to stay with Celine and Mike in one of their 6 gorgeous rooms! Thank you very much Celine and Mike for everything and I hope to see you soon!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
OT bill 'unacceptable': Fielding
Councillor seeks plan to reduce police overtime costs
A senior city councillor has called for a new strategy to reduce ballooning police overtime costs.
Coun. Scott Fielding, head of the protection and community services committee that oversees the Winnipeg Police Service, said the OT bill is too high: "Right now, the levels are unacceptable."
Fielding made his comments after it was revealed a special traffic-ticket enforcement program last year paid out $860,000 in overtime. Much of that money from Project Drive was paid to off-duty police officers called in from other units to hand out traffic tickets.
The fines collected paid for the OT.
Fielding said the city needs to work with police and its new police board to develop a strategy to cut OT. Members of the police board have yet to be named.
He also said the city should examine whether it makes more sense to devote more officers to the traffic unit, which would be cheaper than bringing in officers from other units to work overtime.
Police wouldn't comment Thursday.
Last March, former police chief Keith McCaskill told Fielding's committee that police planned to collect an extra $1.4 million in ticket revenue by using officers from other units to augment traffic enforcement. The service was to spend an extra $1 million on overtime.
Details on Project Drive were obtained by Todd Dube of WiseUp Winnipeg through a Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act request. The documents show the total regular overtime cost for Project Drive from June to November last year was $859,522,56.
Dube said Project Drive is one symptom of a traffic-enforcement program that needs an overhaul. He has been highly critical of the city's photo-enforcement program and of how police hand out tickets at certain locations where he says there is improper signage, or where the posted speed limit should be higher. WiseUp released a list Thursday of locations where it wants traffic enforcement suspended until better signage is installed by the city.
"Traffic engineers as their job used to take pride in correcting these things and improving traffic flow and addressing safety issues," Dube said. "They've been hijacked by politics."
Last November, the provincial Highway Traffic Board held public hearings to examine boosting speed limits on sections of Pembina Highway, Dugald Road, Grant Avenue and Waverley Street. The board proposed increasing speed limits to reduce confusion on a number of different speed limits on the same road.
Traffic board chairman Alf Rivers said Thursday the review has been put on hold pending a provincial review of speed limits.
"We delayed it," Rivers said. "There's no point duplicating something that's going to be included in a far wider study."
Highways Minister Steve Ashton has said the goal of the review is to devise more consistent standards for speed limits on Manitoba roads.

Sign language
Traffic-enforcement locations WiseUp Winnipeg says should be suspended until the city improves signage to better warn drivers:
1 McPhillips Street and Inkster Boulevard (right lane must turn right). Sign should be overhead at intersection and advance-warning sign needs to be posted well before intersection.
2 Ellice Avenue and Empress Street (no left turn). Should be sign at near side of intersection and advance sign before intersection.
3 Corydon Avenue eastbound at Kelvin Boulevard (speed reduction). Sign too high, too far from road.
4 Dugald Road eastbound at Plessis Road (speed reduction). Lack of median sign.
5 Kenaston Boulevard northbound and southbound at Carpathia Road (speed reduction). Lack of median signs.
6 University Crescent northbound at Thatcher Drive (maximum 50 km/h sign posted after enforcement location, instead of before for traffic coming from Chancellor Matheson's 70 km/h zone).
7 Slaw Rebchuk Overpass northbound and southbound (No maximum 50 km/h signs on Salter Avenue, but signs are posted on Logan Avenue, which lacks enforcement).
8 Maryland Bridge northbound (No maximum 50 km/h signs on Maryland, but signs are posted on Wellington Crescent, which lacks enforcement).
