4.0 out of 5 stars Woman's Day
A pretty young novelist rents a secluded cabin in the woods in order to have a nice, quiet place in which to hunker down and start writing the great American novel. But instead of peace and serenity, she ends up as the victim of brutal rape and torture at the hands of a band of semi-literate rednecks. She somehow survives the ordeal, though, and after regaining her...

3.0 out of 5 stars Attention all Joe Bob Briggs Fans!
I bought this DVD for one reason and one reason only: Joe Bob Briggs. As an avid watcher of Monstervision, my Saturday nights have been dull and barren without my weekly Joe Bob fix (and yes, I know that makes me a geek and a loser -- ask me if I care!). So when I saw that he does a full-length commentary on this particular DVD, I really had no choice but to buy it. I...

4.0 out of 5 stars At last Meir Zarchi explains himself,
David H. Downing (Paoli, PA) - See all my reviews
Well, now all the folks who wish writer/director Meir Zarchi would explain his controversial, infamous, and disturbing rape and revenge film can get their wish for the price of this Millennium edition DVD, which includes a feature-length commentary by Zarchi. In this commentary, Zarchi confirms what this film's defenders (including me) have been claiming all along -- that his intention was definitely not to promote rape to his male viewers, but rather to expose the true ugliness of the crime. He talks at length about the real-life encounter with a rape victim that inspired the film, and about the people he worked with in making it. He also discusses the technical aspects in enough detail to prove this is not the shoddy, haphazard production some folks want to claim it is. I also learned a few interesting facts about the film business in general. For example, when you submit a movie to the MPAA, they'll tell you it has to be cut to get an R rating, but they won't tell you WHAT to cut.
Besides answering your questions about the film, Zarchi's commentary also provides a clue as to what sort of person he is. Overall, he comes across as intelligent, articulate, and even compassionate.
However, he also comes across as a bit egotistical, which is why the second feature-length commentary by Joe Bob Briggs is useful for its more balanced perspective. Although Briggs defends the movie, pointing out specific scenes that exemplify its anti-rape viewpoint, he's objective enough to point out flaws where he sees them. For example, why on earth did Johnny send the mentally-challenged Matthew back to the house to kill Jennifer, when Matthew was almost certain to bungle the job? Briggs also addresses two ethical questions that have always bothered me. The first is whether Matthew deserves to die, and the second is whether Johnny's wife and children deserve to have their husband/father respectively taken away from them.
This DVD also includes various trailers, TV spots, and posters, including some promoting the movie under its original title, DAY OF THE WOMAN. There are also posted from a wide assortment of countries, in a wide assortment of languages. I wish the extras had also included the original version of the opening, with the title DAY OF THE WOMAN in the credits, but maybe there are no prints in existence.
So, if you want to own this movie on DVD, this is the edition to buy. If you own an earlier edition, you might consider selling it to raise part of the price of this one.
5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore Review by Peter,
By A Customer
This is a five star film with brutal honesty and is the product of the director's real life encounter with a rape victim. Other open minded reviewers have done this film justice, I just wanted to point out a few things about the small minded review put foward by PETER below:
1. The scenes are extended to make the audience feel as though they have gone through an ordeal and to fully express the pain and horror of the crime! But you seem to think a PG rated sequence lasting 10 seconds be more honest?!
2. This movie deserves royal DVD treatment more so than any of todays mainstream garbage as it clearly makes more of an impact than any major studio's tame market friendly drivel which is put out as modern horror. Many companies such as Anchor Bay, Blue Underground, Shriek Show ect have made it their buiness to put uncut lavishly produced DVD's of films like this out as there is a gap in the current market that can only be filled by classic genre films. Don't belive me? They have remade Texas Cahinsaw Massacre!
3. I'd like to know how you can critize the intelligence of other reviewers when in another review you gave a CD by boyband FIVE 4 stars?! There is a lot of sybolism in this film and if it went over your head then no one else is to blame but yourself! You show your true intelligence by quoting a previous review which is clearly written by another small minded reviewer who hates the film and is satirical mocking the films fans as an example of a 5 star reviewer?! Try reading that review again and this time you might get that they are against it too! Unfamiliar with the concept of satire are you, Peter?
4. As an international customer I found your xenophobia (get out the dictionary Peter) quite distasteful to say the least. If you don't like foreign film directors then stick with Titanic and Pearl Habour and write reviews on how brilliant and important those films are and leave the genre films to true genre fans!!!
I just hope that I've helped any one else who is reading these reviews and is deciding on whether or not to give this contraversial film a chance. Ignore condesending reviews like Peter's and see for yourself. This film is definitely not for everyone and I am sure that there will be intelligence people who won't like it due to it's confronting nature. It's best that you take a look for yourself, make up your own mind and please do not let the ideals of a very vocal and dim witted group who have continued to persecute this film from it's initial release to this day lead you to dismiss the other level to this film beyond it's harshness.
1.0 out of 5 stars Pointless garbage!,
Peter (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) - See all my reviews
I really have to question the intelligence of anyone who would rate this movie five stars. But i think i got my answer when i read one of the five-star reviews: "There were sum really kewl scenes in it, like when the lady was naked and screaming".Yeah, that guy probably watched the movie instead of studying for his grade eight finals. I'm a HUGE fan of horror movies and have seen tons of them. But this one is totally pointless and tedious. If you took out the rape scene you would end up taking out about 40 minutes of the movie. The rape scene is extended way too long in this movie and it's unnecessary to have it dragged out this much. We get the point!! She gets raped and now she wants revenge. The other scenes after the rape and leading up to her revenge are boring and stupid. I hate how people are analyzing this movie as if they were writing some kind of thesis for film school or psychology class. And the fact that this is in widescreen and given more dvd features than most Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures dvds is a sin of the biggest kind. I mean do we really care if this crap is in widescreen or not?? There is nothing enjoyable about this film and no redeeming value to this whatsoever. This is exploitational garbage of the worst kind. It's not even a B film. It's a grade Z film. Anyone who feels the burning need to own this dvd and to watch an extended rape scene needs serious life reflection time. There are about 200 other horror movies out there that are more important than wasting your time on this stupid turd.Figures that a foreign director who's not even from North American would come up with an idea for a film like this. Every American actor associated with this movie should be ashamed. I hope their careers all went down the toilet after doing this. If you still want to see this movie, i'd recommend keeping fresh battieries in your remote so you can fast-forward through most of it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Feels so good it HURTS!!!!,
Johny Bottom "Insane and lonely guitarist" (Jacksonville, NC) - See all my reviews
This flick has what so many other great flicks have; nudity and blood. I think this is a great movie, perfect 70's drive-in camp if you will. Camille Keaton plays her role wonderfully. She played both the victim and the avenger perfectly.
This movie is most famous for it's bathroom scene when Camille kills one of her perpetrators. I also like when the idiot gets hung by his neck and gets dumped in the lake. The only complaint I would have with this movie is that while the first two kills were fabulous, the last two seemed rushed. While the first two were killed separately, the last two were killed together, I admit the ax in the back was great, but the boat motor's slicing and dicing was not that realistic. I mean who would climb into a boat on top of the motor?
You would almost think that this film was written and directed by a militant feminist. I mean the four men are just so dumb. Would they really expect a rape victim to suddenly come on to them and want their company? And why would the four men discuss rape, murder, and body decomposition in a tiny and crowded ice cream parlor at a volume where everyone can hear?
People can say what they want about this film, it's trash, it has no value, etc. But how many of the thousands of movies over the last thirty or forty years can claim the same? I believe it's the majority. This story could really happen I think, not in the exact way of course, but a story like this is entirely possible, and it wouldn't be pretty.
4.0 out of 5 stars Bathroom lock on the outside?,
Apart from that, a work of genius. I love it. A see once movie really, as it does not and cannot have the same impact twice. Very Andrea Dworkin, even the humour. Looked Scandinavian and reminded me of Bergman (Virgin Spring?) Has a memorable Boudica like climax only missing the Ride of the Valkyries on the soundtrack. Just great stuff.
A writer at the time related the polarized reactions in the theatre. "Kill the b***h!" Reposted on the distaff side with "right on, sister!" Unfortunately, certain parties didn't want things out in the open and the film suffered censure. There's a book to be written on the moral questions raised by the retarded guy alone, but I'll focus on a couple of things. The pivotal moment when Jennifer lowers her gun when she has her tormentor at her mercy. Does he have a point? Yes and no. At that moment it's like she reaches an understanding with nature and Keaton's enigmatic performance nails it. Is Jennifer's transformation too sudden or was she like that from the start? Another unexpected aspect is the ridiculing of her writing. In an odd way this really gets to you more than the rape. In a stroke of genius that makes the film, Jennifer seems to become 'Mary', a fictional character or characters in her own writing, descending upon the men like some incubus and getting poetic revenge for that particular sleight. In fact, I can't make up my mind if the film is merely (?) didactic, or a poetic lament. What it has to say about sexual politics is true.
Director's commentary: Unsurprisingly, Zarchi appeared to be European, and eccentric to boot. "Listen to the bird, she is saying: Peace on earth....peace on earth." He constantly quotes critics but is frustratingly parsimonious with his own impressions. He distastefully describes a real life rape while the fictional one is playing out but if this tragedy motivated him to make the picture then he should elaborate. We are left hanging as to his real motives. When he quoted 'hell hath no fury', he drew unflattering comparisons with Criswell in 'Plan 9'. There is an enigmatic moment when Jennifer types after the rape. Not a peep from the director on this. Zarchi's observations of male attitudes in the film are perceptive. The guy with the axe almost hiding in fear of Jennifer at the climax. The constant references to their mothers and calling on them in crisis. Many men will recognise themselves in these attitudes and excuses so I'm not surprised to see such fervent condemnation of 'Grave', but from the director, we get less than the dicky bird he is so fond of quoting. He appears to side with the poetic aspect, but he left me feeling puzzled and uncomfortable.
Briggs: Appears puzzled by the plot. Why didn't the men go in the house with matthew? Not difficult, if they want Matthew to be the fall guy, then they can't be in the same room when he's committing murder. Briggs considers the wife by the pumps scene superfluous. Surely this is one of the most telling moments in the film? I don't agree with his assertion that men shouting mysogynistic comments during theatrical performances of 'Grave' don't really mean it. It just proves to me the film was accurate in it's observations. Get it out in the open, I say. Perhaps Biggs sees the film as a lampoon, four burly men never really standing a chance against a smart cosmopolitan women from New York. Either way, I found his commentary to be largely superfluous.
2.0 out of 5 stars This is not a pulpit PEOPLE!,
By A Customer
This is not a pullpit. This is not a soundoff for people with issues telling me to be horrified for being a part of the male species that commits the crimes depicted in this movie. Yes, sadly, some poor maligned soul actually wrote as much in one of the reviews here. This is a review of a horror movie. On to the review then shall we?
This is a somewhat disturbing film in that rape, for most, is a disturbing subject. As a graphic,. bloody horror movie, its pretty ordinary. The personal violence inflicted upon the main character, however, elevates the terror. A female writer decides to finish a book in a secluded cottage. Only its not so secluded. Close by is a small town inhabited by a bunch of red neck good old boys. They decide to savage the woman one day while she enjoys some time out boating. The scenes that follow are overly long and graphic. I'm sure the audience could have got the message with shorter and less revealing clips. Alas, the makers of this wanted to deliberatly create a stir. And so they have. They leave the woman for dead but she comes back and plots her revenge. The kill scenes are pretty lame. Nothing to creative here. A hanging. A stabbing. Creative use of boat propellers. but not enough of the red stuff. The killings are implied more than shown. Sometimes this works. In a movie like this, it doesnt. This is the kind of film that should run red in rivers. The movie spends to much time on the sodomy of the woman and doesnt know if its a horror pic or a drama. It tries to be both and fails.
5.0 out of 5 stars Day of the Woman,
Roule Duke (the Green Inferno) - See all my reviews
Surely you've heard the hype, but does this film live up to its reputation? Well that depends on whether you are expecting a sleazy trashy exploitation flick or a shocking cult classic.
Is it a good movie? By conventional standards like budget, dramatic acting, star power ect, this film is a dismal failure, a cheap exploitation flick nothing more many will tell you. Most people would read the title and just assume it's bad. But really this film is brilliantly directed, does it matter how much it cost to make? Is it still an exploitation flick when the director married the actress who is being 'exploited'? Why is it that films like this which use more naturalistic acting as opposed to dramatic acting are automatically classed as being poorly acted? Weren't the cast convincingly real especially Camille Keaton with her brave and harrowing performance? So what if everyone involved never went on to bigger projects or never appeared in any other films, this film will live in infamy forever and the stunningly beautiful Camille Keaton is already an immortal icon in cult horror. If it was better known under the more noble title "Day of the Woman" and not "I Spit on Your Grave" (which is about as campy as titles "Surf Nazis Must Die" and "Nude for Satan") would it be treated more seriously.
The real question isn't whether this is a good moive, but is this good cinema? Love it or hate it, how can you deny the power of a film that has such an effect on it's audience. The realism in the rape scenes, the lack of any musical score and voyeuristic yet artistic camera work deliver the kind of shear visceral power that big budget movies these days can only dream of possessing. So yes, this is undeniably spectacular cinema.
Why do people hate it? Roger Ebert would have you believe it's sick and pure garbage. However read his initial review and you will find he largely justifies his views by reactions from nonthinking audience members which he found appalling and not what was happening on screen. Still there is no shortage of people who call this film sick. Even more sad is how some people out there want to censor or ban this film (book burning religious zealots no doubt) just check, theres like two yahoo groups dedicated to this childish cause (pathetic though as they only have about a dozen members between them). This film is not made to be an enjoyable viewing experience, it pulls no punches, just because you don't like it does that mean it must be sick? Rape is a horrible crime, would it be more acceptable to portray it any other way?
What would posses someone to make such a film? Meir Zarchi wrote and directed the film after a real life encounter with a rape victim who he took to a police station (in retrospect he admits she should have gone to the hospital) and the cops were unsympathetic. This genuine horror he saw which existed in the real world which doesn't require werewolves or zombies, is the inspiration for the film. The revenge half of the film obviously an expression of the rage he felt at how the victim was treated, in the real world justice is rarely served. He uses in your face realism to get his message across. Just because his story is simple doesn't mean it's unintelligent. He dodges the one dimensional rapist stereotypes seen in other movies early on by humanising them with crude but still humorous personalities, one even has a family, the message: villains are real people too not comic book characters. One rapist while pleading pathetically tells Jennifer she asked for it by he way she walks and dresses, a damning criticism of some real life attitudes which state women are themselves to blame if they are attacked. The sequence of Jennifer after the attack is brilliant in displaying the traumatic detachment and loss of self suffered by real victims. It's the inclusion and excellent handling of the small details that elevate this movie beyond its low budget limits.
Why would anybody like this film? I personally admire powerful films, films that are unique whether they are shocking or thought provoking. One reviewer complained that the violence wasn't disturbing in comparison to some other films, hey if you have seen Dead/Alive like you claim (although I own and prefer the uncut version called Braindead) then you must know that the most goriest movie ever is a comedy. The gore isn't the real focus of this film anyway. I own uncut copies of Cannibal Holocaust, Men Behind the Sun, Cannibal Ferox, Anthropophagous, Flowers of Flesh and Blood and just about every notorious gore film out there. The only gore films more disturbing than ISOYG are Cannibal Holocaust and Men Behind the Sun, simply because like ISOYG these films are made by talented directors. Besides how could any amount of gore be disturbing when you want Jennifer to carry out her vendetta?
So does it live up to the hype? This film is something you experience not just another movie. It's definitely a well deserved cult classic and one of the original cornerstones of the video nasties. While the more jaded viewer might not find it as disturbing as some, this is still a film you won't soon forget. The Millennium Edition DVD is outstanding, the film has never looked better and you get two excellent commentary tracks. It's a shame they didn't get any input from Camille Keaton when putting the extras together on this DVD, but you can't have it all I guess. I wish I lived in the USA so I could go to a horror convention and ask Camille Keaton for her autograph.
Final thoughts? This is a challenging and outstanding cult masterpiece, it's a shame that this genuinely great piece of cinema is so universally misunderstood and under-rated.

scott belba (Auburn Mass) - See all my reviews
Much has been made of this movie for all it's violence and sadisam, but when all of the hype is out of the way this is just a bad film.
The movie is about a women who travels into the woods to stay at a house on a lake is attacked and brutally beaten and raped by four men. After they leave her for dead she recovers and comes back to get her revenge.
The movie is just a revenge movie plain and simple but that style of movie has been done befor and with much better results than this one.
One thing I will give the film is that the four men never at any time feel anything for the four men becouse we saw what awful things they did. However it's just an excuse to show sickness in all it's glory. Compared to some movies this sick film is not one of the worst in violence (remember though i'm talking about movies like Cannibal Holocaust, Zombie, and Dead Alive) but for it's time it must have been very shocking.
I Spit never lives up to the hype. Roger Ebert said this was the one film he hated and I must agree with him on that point.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great low-budget horror flick,
Nameless Faceless User (Holbrook, NY USA) - See all my reviews
I get a chuckle out of many people's reaction to this movie, as opposed to Deliverance. While Deliverance had a higher budget and better acting, the plot is roughly the same - out of towner is raped by some yocals, who then pay for their crime with their lives through an act of revenge.
In this movie, viewers are more shocked that a woman is raped instead of a man. Anyone who has seen Deliverance will forever remember the words, "Squeal like a pig." Viewers of I Spit On Your Grave are not treated to the same physiological thrills; only, raw and brutal images.
I found the low-budget flick very refreshing from the usual Hollywood glitz and horror film cookie-cutter format. The plot was no worse off than, say, Friday the 13th for example. And, it was so unusual to see an abundance of gratuitous sex and violence in an American film.
Worthy of note - this film has been banned in several countries, including the UK, while Deliverance received no more than an R (18) Rating. I take this to mean that it's more socially acceptable to rape a man than a woman.
Aside from all the controversy, sex, and violence, I put it on par with Pink Flamingos. You don't need a billion dollar budget to tell a story or make a good shocker film.
4.0 out of 5 stars Day of the Woman indeed,
Daniel J. Hamlow (Narita, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Spit on Your Grave (VHS Tape)
One of the most controversial and notorious movies to come out from the 1970's was Meir Zarchi's I Spit On Your Grave. Jennifer Hill, a New York writer, decides to go to a cabin in the country to finish her novel. Much of the plot is already given out on the back of the video box. She is sunbathing in her boat out in the lake when two locals in a motorboat, the blond Andy and dark-haired Stanley, lasso her boat to the shore and chase her through the woods. They are joined by two of their friends, Johnny, the local gas station attendant, and Matthew, the nerdy-looking half-retarded grocery delivery man who has a crush on her. She is stripped, raped and beaten bloody three times, twice in the woods, once in her cabin. Having survived this traumatic ordeal, she gets a well-deserved revenge on all four of them.
The way Jennifer is attacked and chased is the way one would treat a hunted animal, especially as Andy and Stanley yell like rednecks in heat, adding to the fear she felt. Hunting is probably one of the pastimes country hicks like them enjoy, and to them, she is no different from any deer.
There are some issues still relevant today. One is the motivation of the men who attacked Jennifer. Johnny thinks she was asking for it, as she showed up at the gas station walking back and forth in her summer dress, showing off her legs, and later, when she was in her bathing suit. This is the "she's asking for it" defense. In fact when he and his friends are out fishing at night, he says that women from the city come to the country for one thing...sex. While I far from condone rape, there is something to be said for Jennifer's cut-offs and other revealing clothes. Perhaps the men felt exploited, being turned on like that. It's the same argument used in selling adult magazines and videos: doesn't it exploit men as well, since they are the target market and they have to pay for it? Similarly, I'm not advocating that women wear chadors as in Iran or burqas in Afghanistan, but something more middle-of-the-road.
This was also the time that most women did not report rape because of the ensuing humiliation of a police investigation and the myth that it was her fault--hence her taking the law into her own hands. The attacks on Jennifer are unflinchingly graphic and unsettling, which may lead many to believe that the film glorified rape, but in fact, the brutality of it serves to justify her revenge.
Camille Keaton pulls in an ace performance as Jennifer in an agonizing role. Her slight resemblance to Tori Amos reminded me of how the latter was assaulted as well.
Apart from the ordeal and the revenge, much of the remainder are lulls in the drama, such as the scene at the camp sight and diner. The only other thing I quibble is the title. Surely, the original Day Of The Woman would have been better?

The Journal Sentinel Editorial Board's blog on the day's happenings as they happen
Serious issues at U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
The investigations aren't public yet but the opinions sure are mounting regarding a completely fouled up sting operation by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Milwaukee. And once the investigations are complete and public, maybe officials can move on to efforts to ensure that such a screw-up doesn't happen again.
In a letter to congressional leaders, including Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, the Justice Department's inspector general said the operation appears to raise "significant management issues relating to the oversight and management" of the bureau.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz, whose office does independent investigations, wrote that problems revealed in the Milwaukee operation by a Journal Sentinel investigation are of particular concern given the agency's failures in its Operation Fast and Furious, the Journal Sentinel's John Diedrich reported in Wednesday's editions.
As Diedrich noted, the Journal Sentinel found that the operation last year was marked by a series of failures, including agents having their guns stolen, an undercover storefront being burglarized and sensitive law enforcement documents being carelessly handled. An ATF machine gun, stolen from an agent's vehicle, remains unrecovered.
The Keystone Kops couldn't have done much worse. In fact, Horowitz may be understating the case. We hope the reports on the operation are candid and offer recommendations on how the agency can improve its practices.

Native screen resolution

Hiya, I got Ubuntu installed after several years using Gentoo.
Ive bought a 20 inch LCD but the driver says I only got a 19 inch and I get out of range or black screen when i try to run 1600x1200.
Ive tried it on Windows and it work fine.
Ive tried both older versions of the driver as well as the newest.
Ive tried severeal options that has been mentioned in previous threads as well as all the solutions I found on google.
The xorg.conf is attached.
Any help is appreciated and if you need further info, dont hesitate to ask. Im not sure what else to add since i dont get a driver error.
Re: Native screen resolution
Re: Native screen resolution
1: I dont have a stability problem
2: I have searched but none of those threads helped nor did my hours with google
3: I have tried to make as good detailed description of the problem to the best of my ability (english is not my native language)
3a: I have provided the xconf and i would think that would have been enough (or else they/you could ask as I stated in my previous post)
3b: I dont have an install problem
3c: I did that
I have NO idea how i could provide with more information thats why i said pls feel free to ask if i need to add anything else.
But on topic I resolved the problem. It turned out the cables messed things up. When we tried similar cables it found out our screens was actually 20 inch and not 19.
so...thanks for nothing i guess. As it seems in other posts you just post that link instead of trying to help. Im a bit dissapointed I have to say... I read the stickies so I could provide with as much info as I could but it was obviously not enough.

From MMAMadness.com: Mixed martial arts fans have been without any sort of MMA fighting game on this current generation of consoles. The nuances of the sport have proved difficult for game developers to recreate, and few have even attempted it.
THQ have thrown their hat into the ring with UFC 2009 Undisputed, and have put forth an impressive debut effort.
Boasting a combat system built from the ground up, Undisputed provides fans with almost everything that they could hope to see in an MMA game.
The term 'photo-realistic' is used by many game developers, but Undisputed might be the closest thing to it on any system. The fighter models are absolutely gorgeous, and look and behave like their real-life counterparts.
Fighters bruise and bleed convincingly, and the knockout physics, while somewhat over the top, are still fun to look at.
When on the verge of being knocked out, the screen will turn grey and the noise will dampen (a la Fight Night), which is a nice touch.
The most impressive thing about the look of the game is the clipping, or rather the absence of it. After close to 100 matches, I have yet to see a fist go through an opponent's head or an arm go through another arm during a takedown.
Achieving this in a game with so much contact between fighters, especially on the ground, is a remarkable feat.
I'm disappointed that THQ did not include the fighter entrances or weigh-in shots. I would have also liked to see the referee run in and pull my fighter off of the other one during a TKO pounding, rather than simply waving his arms. Really though, I'm just splitting hairs.
The announcing in the game is spot on. Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan recorded over 30 hours of conversation, and gamers will want to play as each fighter in the game simply to hear the interesting facts that the announcers state.
As with all sports games, the announcing will start to become repetitive, but with so many different fighter combinations, it is hardly noticeable.
The menu music, on the other hand, is a weak spot in the game. THQ decided to mix in audio clips from actual fights that play at random over the music.
While this is a good idea in theory, it is often hard to understand what is going on in each clip. If you do not know that Houston Alexander knocked out Keith Jardine in under a minute, all you will hear is Goldberg announce the start of the match, followed by a lot of fans screaming.
The controls in Undisputed are easily the best thing about the game. Punches and kicks are performed with the face buttons and modified with the left shoulder buttons, blocks are performed with the right shoulder buttons, and various grappling and submission maneuvers are performed with the right thumb stick.
The game has an extremely steep learning curve, but THQ should be given props for not sacrificing detail for accessibility. Casual gamers might be turned off by the time needed to master the control scheme, and the tutorial is absolutely essential if you want to survive your trip inside the octagon.
Single player options include exhibition mode, classic fights mode, and career mode. The career mode is broken down into a week-by-week schedule, where you must manage your stamina between training, sparring, and attending PR events like autograph sessions.
It is a blast to watch your fighter mature as a martial artist. Unlike other leveling-up games where you have a vague idea that you're stronger, you will actually see the fruits of your labor pay off here.
Your fighter starts out relatively weak, but put in some time and effort, and he will blossom into a champion right before your eyes. My only complaint in career mode is that other fighters do not progress in the same fashion that yours does.
That means that you will end up fighting the same top-level fighters over and over again.
It hurts the realism factor a bit when you have "Created Fighter vs. Hughes 7," and it would be nice to see up-and-coming fighters like Efrain Escudero progressing as they will in real life.
Classic fights mode challenges you to recreate some of the most important fights in UFC history. A brief introduction video (like what you see before a pay-per-view fight) explains the significance of the fight, and then you are left to try to duplicate the results.
Doing so unlocks a highlight montage of the fight. This mode is perfect for newer UFC fans, as it acts as a chronicle of the sport's history.
Online mode is where the serious UFC gamers will glean more gaming for their buck. Undisputed offers an all time leaderboard and a weekly leaderboard, and gamers gain and lose experience based on their performances in the ring.
Lag is seldom an issue, and you rarely have to wait more than a minute before being thrust into a match.
However, online play has one major issue, one that almost makes it frustratingly unplayable. Gamers have the ability to quit at any time, which invalidates the match. While other games feature penalties for such behavior, Undisputed does not.
This means that crafty gamers can quit when they are seconds away from getting knocked out or submitted, and they do not suffer a loss.
I personally have had 15 wins (and I am keeping track) that have not counted due to this loophole, and it is maddening.
THQ has said that they are aware of the issue and are discussing the best course of action, but until then online warriors are left to hope that their opponents are sportsmanlike.
In all, UFC 2009 Undisputed is the mixed martial arts game that fans of the sport have been awaiting for a long time.
The realism and presentation, along with the variety of modes and online play, means that you will dedicate, a long, long time to making your fighter the best in the world.
Cameron Gidari is the Associate Editor at MMAMadness.com. He is sad that he can no longer blame his excessive play of UFC Undisputed on work, but will still take occasional breaks from the game to answer reader questions and comments. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bradbury's death personal to local librarians, authors
For local librarians and science fantasy enthusiasts, the loss of famed "Fahrenheit 451" author Ray Bradbury feels personal.
"I practically grew up with him," said Sheldon Kaye, director of the Lee County Library System. "He's so imaginative, you felt like (you were) home when reading Ray Bradbury."
Bookworms, teachers, and literary lovers on Wednesday all mourned the loss of Bradbury, who died Tuesday evening at age 91. Kaye and other fans said Bradbury expanded the audience for science fiction writing and helped young readers connect with an imaginary world.
Collier and Lee libraries will put his books in front displays. Kaye said he will plan a special summer reading event based on the author's works.
Bradbury broke through in 1950 with "The Martian Chronicles," a series of intertwined stories that satirized capitalism, racism and superpower tensions as it portrayed Earth colonizers destroying an idyllic Martian civilization.
Bradbury's most famous book "Fahrenheit 451" particularly speaks to librarians for its exploration of a future America that outlaws books, Kaye said.
"We in the library field are sensitive to censorship and preserving record of culture," Kaye said. "He certainly does speak to us ... His imagination, his respect for intellectual freedom, his wonderful grasp of the mystery of childhood."
"I heard someone say that when he reads his books, his toes curl up."
Ben Bova, a local science fiction writer, knew the author personally. He knew that Bradbury never learned to drive and that he hated to fly.
But what Bova remembers most is Bradbury's style of writing that nobody could copy.
"It was overly sentimental," he said. "With a good deal of childish innocence."
Others remember that Bradbury held a special place in his heart for libraries.
He spent a good deal of time there, said Marilyn Mathis, director of the Collier County Library System. He wrote "Fahrenheit 451" from the basement of the UCLA library on a public typewriter. It cost him $9.80.
"I imagine people in public libraries today writing their books not on typewriters, but on public computers," Mathis said. "He made good use of his library."
Until near the end of his life, Bradbury resisted one of the innovations he helped anticipate: electronic books, likening them to burnt metal and urging readers to stick to the old-fashioned pleasures of ink and paper.
But in late 2011, as the rights to "Fahrenheit 451" were up for renewal, he gave in and allowed his most famous novel to come out in digital form. In return, he received a great deal of money and a special promise from Simon & Schuster: The publisher agreed to make the e-book available to libraries, the only Simon & Schuster e-book at the time that library patrons were allowed to download.
"We will miss him," Mathis said. "His books are still read and quoted today in print, electronic and even in film versions."

Do's and Don'ts for Evergreen Press Releases
By Sarah Ware, Markerly
In journalism evergreen content refers to content that is forever available and relevant. This fresh, green content doesn't expire and it is always accessible. So just how do you craft an evergreen press release, especially if it's a timely announcement? We'll explore that in this article so that you can brainstorm ideas for your next small business press release.
First off, understanding evergreen is crucial. This article is evergreen; it's always going to live on this website, and it will always be relevant because of the content provided. An article written ten years ago about the best hiking trails through Peru would be the textbook example of evergreen content.
There's many different reasons that evergreen press releases are valuable. Besides making your press release timeless, you'll also get the added bonus of more relative search engine indexing, as well as more interest from journalists, increasing your chances of getting picked up by a major news outlet.
Crafting an evergreen press release is challenging, but it's also entirely possible to make them spark year-round interest despite timely announcements. Here are some examples of how to make your press release evergreen no matter the subject.
General Press Release: You're a chimney sweeping company and you want more awareness about your brand.
Do: Post a press release about how dangerous a dirty chimney is and how to prevent chimney fires. This is not only a news-worthy subject, but also something that makes your chimney sweeping business more relevant and necessary to homeowners and renters with chimneys.
Don't: Don't post a release only about it being chimney sweeping season and that your company is offering discounts on the service.
Product Press Release: You're an online platform that connects parent's to nanny's and are releasing a new product that helps you share nanny's with couples that live nearby making nanny's an affordable solution for couples on a budget.
Do: Make your press release stand the test of time by writing about 3 ways that couples on a budget save money by having a nanny instead of sending their kids to childcare. Discuss the benefits of splitting the cost of a nanny with couples that live nearby, as well as the added benefits of flexibility for your career by not having to stay home from work when a child is sick.
Don't: Don't post your release only about the launch of the new product with a quote on how excited you are to release it.
Event Press Release: You are announcing that your company is sponsoring a marathon to support breast cancer awareness.
Do: Discuss stats and research advancements made the past year for breast cancer research and survivors. Let the facts lead into your company's decision to sponsor and support this marathon. The facts will always be evergreen and can always be a point of reference in articles, even in years to come.
Don't: Don't post a release only about registration and dates and your enthusiasm over sponsoring it.
Next time you are crafting your press release brainstorm ways on how to make your press release evergreen so that your release can continue to drive traffic and awareness to your business for years to come.

Why did you choose 2014 as the year to release 'History'?
2014 chose me really.
Pete Haycock joined me along with Mel Collins, Charlie Morgan, Jax Williams and Charley Charlesworth to record 'Cruel' a great album which tragically has become Pete's swan song. Climax Blues 'Cruel' features Pete at his best, which is absolutely superb slide guitar! A commemorative album for my close friend and brother in guitar, Pete Haycock.
When we lost Pete last October, my world rocked…we'd known each other for over thirty years, and to be with my friend and brother in guitar, with a superb band who were ready to tour, with a finished album and the next one on the way, stopped me in my tracks. I had to do something to keep my mind active, and so, I re-mastered History…lost in the vaults since 1982, so here it is, found in 2014.
Is it true that the songs were recorded over three years?
History was actually recorded over two years, we were all so busy gigging etc that I'm surprised it didn't take longer. I toured with Roy Wood (The Move/ELO) and I was also forming The Byron Band with David Byron (Uriah Heep) as well as loads of production work including The Climax Blues Band, Daniel Boone, Raymond Froggat, Noddy Holder (Slade), et al, and also numerous guitar sessions. So lots going on in the background.
History was recorded in downtime, when the studio didn't have paying clients. So, that could mean going in at midnight, and doing as much as we could until the next set of clients were due in, usually the next afternoon. What would happen was that I'd get a phone call, telling me the studio was free, and I'd phone around to see who was available, and then we'd go in and make music.
We were spread over a wide area, all across the Midlands and hours apart, so you have to factor in driving time and time in the pub!
How did the album come about?
I'd played in covers bands since I was fourteen…which was a good grounding, and a great way to learn lots of chords. I've always written songs and started sticking them in at gigs. The audience either didn't notice the difference and/or loved them. So I formed my own band 'Life' playing all my material. The success of the gigs led to us recording at the Old Smithy studios, which is where I met the guys who became the Life band on the History album. They liked what they heard, and so it began.
Did you encounter many problems during the re-mastering process?
Re-mastering the album from many different sources, including half inch master tapes, cassettes and all in between was a challenge, so lots of editing to remove 'wow and flutter' speed fluctuations and so on. For me, it's about the superb musician's performances more than the sound sensibility, but it sounds well OK to me. So this is what you get. Play loud and enjoy!
What does the future hold for you? Can we expect to see a reformed Robin George band popping up at any festivals/tours or any new material to be released?
Yep. Both I hope. I'm ready to rock and so is the band!
Are there any messages that you would like to pass onto your fans?
As always, thanks for your interest and unfailing support. I so much appreciate it my friends. Most of you know who you are, and now, so do I.
Cheers Robin.

More tour information here
Angel Air Records (where the artist has a voice), has been operating and trading successfully since 1997. Spearheaded by its driving force Peter Purnell, Angel Air has become a major force in the record industry.
Early in 2013, Peter was offered an album by singer/songwriter David Martin. The album was a mix of standard songs by the very best of American Songbook Songwriters. The sound of the Terry Coffey Trio and David's soothing tones propelled Peter to release the album in April on a brand new imprint 'Angel Air Nostalgia'.
Having started out his music career as singer, for David, this has been a journey of full circle and this album showcases his unique appealing style and vocal, which do the songs great credit. The title of the album 'Silky Smooth Moments' was inspired by David's producer on the project Graham Noon, who repeatedly remarked during the recording process, how silky smooth David's voice sounded.
Of course with a background of songwriting achievements to his name, featuring a who's who of artists including, Elvis Presley, Barry Manilow, The Carpenters, Cliff Richard, Guys & Dolls, Boyzone and many others, it was hardly surprising that David could hardly resist coming up with a song of the same name and so, 'Silky Smooth Moments', featuring Terry Coffey on piano and David on vocal, is now the lead track on the album.
In anyone's estimation, this album from David is long overdue and if current reaction is anything to go by, there is little doubt that it will make an enduring impact with lovers of tasteful and romantic music for some time to come.

NFL Pregame Ritual (Week 9)
Welcome back to the Pregame Ritual. We are in the eye of the NFL-hype hurricane, as last week we saw Brett Favre return to Green Bay (how great would it've been if he had tried a Lambeau Leap after one of his four TD passes?), and next week will feature another round of Peyton Manning versus Tom Brady. This week we'll just have to settle for a full slate of evenly matched, competitive games. Hopefully we'll survive.
Here is a look at the action in Week 9.
Three key games to watch
Houston at Indianapolis (1 p.m. ET)
The Texans bandwagon is a lot like the bus in the movie "Speed." Everyone climbed aboard expecting a smooth ride. Then, evidence of turmoil caused all its riders to panic and attempt to get off, risking life and limb to avoid supporting what looked like a classic underachieving team. But now things have smoothed out a little, and the bandwagon is in limbo, with everyone a little afraid to make a move that would upset the delicate balance achieved. Now all that's left is to see whether the bus explodes. We like the Texans going forward, but this week Peyton Manning is in the Dennis Hopper role, with his finger on the button, ready to destroy Houston's hot streak. (Why yes, that is the maximum amount we could stretch the analogy. Thanks for asking.)
San Diego at New York Giants (4:15 p.m. ET)
We are really looking forward to this game, since it pits the two most disappointing three-loss teams in the league, both of whom have proved capable of complete dominance as well as utter ineptitude. There hasn't been a widely televised event with this level of unpredictability since Michael Jackson's memorial service. Will the two teams break the under by 30, or the over by 30? Will Dr. Eli or Mr. Manning show up at quarterback for the Giants? Will LaDainian Tomlinson jump out of his coffin? We'll certainly be tuning in to find out. After all, it's not often you get to watch a must-have game between two teams that don't seem to care whether they win or lose.
Dallas at Philadelphia (8:20 p.m. ET)
Roy Williams declared this week that he is still the No. 1 receiver in Dallas. Here are a few other things he might think he's No. 1 at:
• Toy expert (Santa's got nothing on Roy)
• Physicist
• Snake-charmer
• Provider of micro-loans to impoverished nations
• Eater of fruit
• Showing up his QB (this one might actually be true)
Can you prove that he's not No. 1 at any of these things? Even if you have loads of demonstrable facts and irrefutable evidence to the contrary, it doesn't matter to Williams. He knows he's the best at all of them -- things just happen to have gone someone else's way.
If you haven't played ESPN.com's Streak for the Cash yet, you should give it a shot. It's free to play, and you could win $1 million. But beware: It's addictive.
Since it's a known fact that a football column must include some sort of pick or the universe folds in on itself, here is this week's selection:
San Francisco over Tennessee: Plenty of photos of a shirtless Vince Young have circulated around the Internet. Good thing he's comfortable without clothes, because the Niners' D is going to depants him this afternoon.
-- Toby Mergler
Play we'd like to see Sunday
What we'd really like to see is for someone, anyone, to repeat the mistake that James Butler made last week, as we can't get enough of watching it. It was the dumbest safety we can remember, though somewhere Dan Orlovsky can't believe what he's reading.
Short of that, we'd like to see a new wrinkle added to the Wildcat. Defenses barely pay attention to the tight ends in the Wildcat because they are just there to block. Why not try to sneak in the rarely seen tight end reverse? Hand it off to Ricky Williams coming in motion, and then have him hand it off to a tight end coming off a fake-block assignment, running the other way. Bonus points if you use Jason Taylor as the runner. He looked great sprinting for a TD against the Jets -- the Fins should give him a chance! Don't get us wrong, watching Ronnie Brown run behind an overloaded line and fall forward for 4 yards over and over again makes for excellent television -- but it's always exciting when they do something different with the formation.
Fine, I'll ask
Five questions about Monday night's Pittsburgh-Denver game:
• Would Denver consider signing Glen Davis, or would they worry that Brandon Marshall would be jealous if they brought in another Big Baby?
• Does this look like the dirtiest player in the NFL to you?
• Do you think Ward replaced his normal game tapes this week with women's soccer tapes to learn a couple of new moves?
• Eddie Royal -- fantasy bust, or fantasy apocalypse?
• Will Kyle Orton be forced to ride under the team bus to the game?
Storyline we care about
Disgruntled Cleveland Browns fans meet with team owner
How cool is this? Two Cleveland Browns fans threatened a public display of disapproval over the direction of the team, and rather than revoking their tickets or threatening to have the pair removed from the stadium, the team's owner agreed to meet with them to discuss their grievances. How refreshing! Let this be a lesson to all owners. Fans are a lot like girlfriends. Nothing makes them madder than when they think you are not listening to them (besides maybe having to watch Derek Anderson play quarterback). Pay attention to what they say, address some of their needs, and they may stick around despite the fact that you go out drinking with your buddies four nights a week and you have that weird gland problem. (Or so we've been told.)
Storyline we don't care about
Fans don't want Larry Johnson to get record
On the other hand, sometimes fans can go a bit too far. It's one thing to say you want Larry Johnson off the team for both his on-field and off-field actions. That we can applaud. But doing it because you don't want him to become your team's all-time leading rusher seems a bit forced. The Chiefs' current all-time leading rusher is Priest Holmes, who basically achieved that record in three seasons (which is shocking, since in "Tecmo Bowl" Christian Okoye went for about 700 yards per game). DeAngelo Williams became the Panthers' all-time leading rusher Sunday and didn't even know about it. Johnson is not about to enter some sort of hallowed ground here.
Patrick Swayze's pep talk
Swayze's action movies were undeniably awesome, and his passing earlier this year was incredibly sad. In a small attempt to pay tribute, we'll relay some of his words of wisdom in this space each week in an effort to fire up a particular player or team.
"I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice."
-- Dalton, "Road House"
Come on, Giants. Are you the team that started the season 5-0, or the team that has looked terrible going 0-3 since? You've gone from being the best team in football to third place in your division, and your coach has started staring off into the distance again, as if he's the captain of a ship about to be boarded by pirates. It's time to show some passion. After all, the Yankees' season is over, and New Yorkers are about to turn their full attention (and ire) toward you. If you don't step up and display some toughness, you can bet your fans aren't going to be nice to you.
Most important fantasy players
Ryan Moats: Gary Kubiak is the best hidden version of Satan since Al Pacino in "The Devil's Advocate" -- in fantasy football terms, of course. Fantasy players were so grateful for Steve Slaton last year, they managed to forget that Kubiak studied under the fantasy football Lucifer himself, Mike Shanahan. Accordingly, roll with the popular pickup Moats at your own risk.
Jamaal Charles: Charles successfully followed Ricky Williams and Cedric Benson at Texas -- taking over for Larry Johnson should be a cakewalk in comparison. It's like a session musician filling in for Eddie Van Halen, and then being asked to replace a Jonas Brother.
Nate Burleson: The Seahawks have 99 problems, but Burleson ain't one. (But 98 of them are T.J. Houshmandzadeh.) Burleson has been rock-solid all year long and could explode this week against the Lions' porous pass defense.
Aaron Rodgers: Question: Who is more quietly at the top of their field -- Aaron Rodgers among fantasy QBs, or Tami Taylor among attractive fictional high school principals? Since Taylor, from "Friday Night Lights," is primarily up against Mr. Belding from "Saved By the Bell," we'll go with Rodgers -- who, with little fanfare, is now tops among all players in total fantasy points.
Enjoy Week 9, everyone.

dining choices for small wedding group
myself, my bride-to-be and about 20 other hungry canadians will be in NO for 5 nights for our wedding. some of us are frequent visitors, others have never been. there are tried and true favorites we're going to, but we haven't been to NO for a few years so i could use some help(we will have a car). the rough itinerary looks like so
wed lunch(plane lands just before 2): either crabby jacks, boucherie or cochon
dinner(about 8 of us): either brigtsens or galatoires(been to NO 8x and have
never gone!)
thurs lunch: redfish grill(its in our hotel)
dinner: either bozo's or dinner in our suite for everyone with domenica's pizza
mchardy's chicken, parkway po-boy's and tee-eva's sweet potato pie
(and lots of beer before we go see kermit@vaughn's)
fri breakfast: stanley or elizabeth's
early rehearsal dinner(aaron neville concert@7): either casual @bozos
(if we haven't already gone) or galatoires(6 newbies on fri aft -
will we enjoy it?)
sat lunch: bayona for groomsmen
wedding dinner: august
sun brunch: mr b's(love the bbq shrimp)
dinner: commanders
mon lunch: dickie brennan's steakhouse (extra banana fosters bread pudding for
honeymoon plane ride)
basically the big question is about galatoires. we would really like to try bozos, but for our rehearsal dinner should we choose galatoires? also, we will be coming back for 3 nights after the honeymoon, landing on xmas day. coquette, restaurant atchafalaya and mila look good (we have res for sun night @stella). feedback?
thanks ryan
Are you staying in the FQ. Looks like you might want to go to Boucherie and Brigtsen's the first day. That's two trips Uptown if you are staying in the FQ. That's a 15 minute drive. You can plan your dining near your hotel say if you are in the FQ then dine in the FQ so you can walk and not take a car. If you want to dine Uptown do in and come back the same day not twice in one day. If you are interested in Galatoire's it's my favorite restaurant in NOLA. By all means go and enjoy yourself. You won't be sorry. Good luck.

I'm a little confused. Are you talking about Bozo's in Metairie? I am thinking you aren't, because I can't imagine anyone being torn between Bozo's and Galalatoire's. Anyway, Galatoire's is a great idea for your rehearsal dinner. Celebrations are their core business. You won't have to worry about being too loud or bothering any of the other patrons, if you do, its their problem, not yours. Really, just about anything goes at Galatoire's. Otherwise, sounds like a plan. Frankly, I think you should be the one giving out the advice.

re: CharlieH
For twenty I strongly advise going upstairs...I've hosted tables of twelve and fifteen but I keep them as under-wraps as possible. Wedding festivities are another show entirely.
This thread may help you:
In short, you're going to have trouble with 20 people without getting a private room. Gal's does have private rooms, so that might be your best bet.
G W Fins has a private room, and IIRC, it will accommodate up to 24. They offer great local seafood, and are great on the service end. Just did Fins in Oct., and they were hitting on all cylinders, though swamped to overflowing.
However, and as much as I like G W Fins, given the choice between it, and Galatoire's, it would be no contest, so long as Galatoire's can accommodate you.

Hm-m, Fins did not show up in the CH Links (think that I liked the old way better). Let's try GW Fins, and here is their URL: http://www.gwfins.com/nola/
Sorry about that,
PS - Congratulations!!!! And thank you for coming to NOLA for this special occasion!

RG3 says he will wear knee brace all season
RG3 on knee brace: "You get used to it"
RICHMOND—Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III says he'll wear a hinged brace on his right knee throughout the 2013 season. After that, though, all bets are off.
"I don't know if I'll wear it forever," Griffin said Monday afternoon. "I know I'll wear it for the rest of the season. After the first [ALC surgery in 2009] I wore it for a year and I thought I'd wear it the rest of my life. And the next year came around, I took it off, we won a Heisman and did a whole lot of other things. It just depends on how the leg feels. I don't plan on wearing it past this season, but that all depends on what happens."
Asked how much the brace is restricting his movement, Griffin said flatly, "It's not."
When Griffin injured the knee in December, adjusting to the brace, which straps to his thigh and lower leg and features hinges connecting the top and bottom – was not easy, mostly because he had not worn one since 2010. This time, however, he's been wearing it for several months and, because of that, his leg has built up additional strength.
"Last year it was a concern because I didn't play with the brace, or have to rehab with the brace all year," he said. "So when you put it on, it kind of does restrict you a little bit more because you're not used to it. Now that I've rehabbed with it and everything … you get used to it. Your leg gets stronger and you can carry that extra weight."
Griffin created a bit of a stir last Thursday when he took a snap during the morning walkthrough without the brace. After realizing his mistake, he quickly returned to the sidelined and put it on.
Although that happened in front of several thousands of fans and a dozen reporters, he acknowledged Monday that it wasn't the first time he forgot to put it on.
"I don't really worry about my leg anymore," he said. "Consistently I forget my brace. Like I did on the first day and everybody made a big deal about that. I feel great."

LOGO Joins Wolfe PAY FOR PLAY
Logo, the world's leading ad-supported cable, satellite, online, mobile and digital entertainment network from MTV Networks, for gays and lesbians, their families and friends, today launched online support for the Wolfe "Pay to Play" anti-piracy public service announcement (PSA) campaign by giving exposure to a series of star-studded PSA's on the network's Just Cause website platform and across the channel's many online properties - including leading gay and lesbian entertainment news sites, AfterElton.com and AfterEllen.com.
The Pay to Play: Support Community Filmmaking PSA campaign was created by Kathy Wolfe - founder and CEO of the country's largest exclusive lesbian, gay, bi and transgender (LGBT) film distributor, Wolfe. The campaign was produced and directed by well-known film and television producer JD DiSalvatore.
"Logo has been a committed supporter of community independent film and independent artists since our first day of broadcast," said Logo SVP of Multiplatform Programming Marc Leonard. "We hope that by helping to spread the word about this issue, our community will take a stand and join us in supporting these filmmakers and artists."
The four-part PSA series spotlights a wide array of the community's favorite gay and lesbian actors, filmmakers and straight allies asking their fans to "Pay to Play" and to support community filmmaking by not participating in online movie piracy and illegal downloading.
"Please support the LGBT filmmaking community by remembering to purchase, rent, or legally download films," says popular Queer as Folk star Thea Gill in one of the PSAs.
"This campaign is Wolfe's fun and entertaining way of educating consumers about the problem of movie piracy in the gay and lesbian community," said Wolfe President Maria Lynn. "We're extremely grateful to our colleagues at Logo for taking such leadership in championing awareness of this issue."
Logo will be promoting the series of four PSAs throughout the month of February.
The complete star-studded cast of the PSA series includes: Thea Gill (Mulligans, Queer as Folk), Darryl Stephens (Boy Culture, Noah's Arc), Charlie David (Mulligans, Bump!), Ashleigh Sumner (And Then Came Lola), Michelle Wolff (Mango Kiss), Matthew Montgomery (Pornography: A Thriller, Role/Play), Steve Callahan (East Side Story, Role/Play), Dreya Weber (The Gymnast, A Marine Story), Ned Farr (The Gymnast, A Marine Story), Nicole Conn (Claire of the Moon, Elena Undone), Nicole Bilberbach (The New Twenty) and Colin Fickes (The New Twenty).
There are four installments of the Pay to Play PSA, which can be accessed online at the Logo Just Cause community page at the following link:

They feel bad, so they found you these other deals to make up for it.
Select Local Merchants
Chesterfield Veterinary CenterRead MoreFrom boarding and daycare to checkups and surgery, the services at Chesterfield Veterinary Center have pets covered. Two doctors and a small staff work to keep dogs and cats happy and healthy. They care for animals six days a week and showcase philanthropic values as well: when the team unexpectedly and tragically lost an employee, they established a foundation in his name that benefits animal charities.14161 Olive Blvd.Chesterfield, MO US
Yips & Yaps PetcareRead MoreYips and Yaps just might be a better place than home, especially when dogs' owners are away. Here, pets can get groomed, play with friends, or even stay overnight while their owners travel. Though staff provides bowls, beds, and blankets for boarding charges, pet owners are welcome to pack their pups' own belongings from home. During daycare sessions in the center's outdoor and indoor play yards, pets acquire crucial socialization skills they can't get at home, no matter how often they try to play tug of war with the houseplants.5163 HighwaySt. Charles, MO US
Yuppy Puppy Pet SpaRead MoreLike a Caribbean resort, Yuppy Puppy Pet Spa soothes away the stress and worries that build up in canine minds while their owners are off relaxing at work. Pups of all breeds and sizes—as well as cats—jump into the arms of loving staff members for grooming and pampering sessions. Services range from the ordinary, such as nail clipping and ear trimming, to the opulent, such as blueberry and vanilla facial masks or soothing mud baths for the whole body. But personality trumps beauty at play camp, where dogs' dispositions decide which of three indoor camps they'll call home for the day. Pooches can also pack their toothbrushes and curlers for overnight stays in private luxury suites—some equipped with flat-screen TVs—or the social lounge, where pups play all day and curl up in front of a movie at night.3022 Winghaven BlvdO Fallon, MO US
PetropolisRead MoreHotel guests lick scoops of salmon or bacon-cheddar frozen yogurt before watching Disney movies in private suites. Every dog's anthropomorphic dream comes true at Petropolis Pet Center, where a dog and cat hotel indulges pets' whims with gourmet treats, snuggly blankets, feline jungle gyms, and other animal accouterments. After checking in at the front desk—a hangout for mascot Charlie the tortoise—trained staffers lead pets to lodgings or to dog day camp, where pups divided into three compatible size groups romp in the grass or atop playground equipment. An onsite grooming salon trims coats, fluffs fur with soothing low-heat and low-noise dryers, and brushes teeth to remove lingering crumbs from Petropolis Barkery's epicurean baked goods. Dogs can refine their manners at training school, learning how to sit, stay, and leave a calling card at every hydrant, before moving on to competition training. Petropolis's Pet Career School transforms amateur dog lovers into pro groomers or certified trainers and helps careers to get off the ground with job-placement assistance.16830 Chesterfield Airport RoadChesterfield, MO US
North County Golf & Sports CenterRead MoreA percussive rhythm of impact rings through the air at North County Golf & Sports Center, whether its the smack of golf balls leaving grass and mat tees or the crack of baseball bats inside batting cage balls. Golfers of all ability levels enjoy use of covered, heated tees in inclement weather and can work on their short game skills on a large putting green. Throughout the spring, summer, and fall, players can join in on instructional clinics held seven days a week, wherein they work on basic and advanced facets of their game including grip, stance, and alignment. If stationary targets don't present enough of a challenge, players can head over to the batting cages to practice transforming pitches into line drives, grounders, and nacho-ruining foul balls.3555 N US Hwy. 67Florissant, MO US
Fetch! Pet CareRead MoreWhether you are going on vacation, a business trip, or just spending too much time at the office; Fetch! Pet Care is for you. We provide a variety of attentive services for ANY pet, including dog walks, pet taxi services, in-home sitting & private boarding.76 Webster Woods DriveSt. Louis, MO US

I may be brand-bound, never having used anything else, but i still think that if you're going to buy a tablet - get a wacom tablet. Any professional design on the computer, wacom .

I've collected a number of salt sprays, shine sprays and hair sprays over the years, and recently discovered that the Oribe Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray delivers a 1-2-3 punch by combining a bit of each into one great product. Happy to report this works well in super fine hair as well. Added bonus, it smells great too!
Okay, so how I use it.... I curl/wave my hair with a curling wand, then when I finish and tousle my hair to make sure it doesn't look like curls, and more like actual waves, I spray this all over... You would not imagine the instant shine that it provides. There is also a slight hold, so that it keeps your hair in place (yet still flexible!). I don't know how well it would work on wet/damp hair, but the way I use it is fabulous and a truly fantastic product.5
I'll start out saying you definitely have to know what you're doing when attempting to use a beach spray. This is what I did and what worked beautifully for my middle-of-my-back, fine, wavy hair. Out of the shower I applied a curl cream (I used MoroccanOil curl cream) and scrunched hair as usual. Then once 90% dry, I sprayed some of this beach spray all over in sections and then braided my hair in a regular braid. Slept on it. Woke up and undid the braid.. sprayed more beach spray all over and used my curling wand to fix flat pieces and curl the ends. My hair has never looked more beautifully wavy or "beachy". Wish I could add a photo.. got compliments all day. This is such a wonderful product with texture and shine! And smells wonderful like all Oribe products :)4
I love this stuff. I have a few different Beach Sprays that love but this stuff is a different breed. It gives my hair a pretty curl and makes it not crunchy. It's also great for giving you a little vu-vumph, but not giving you beauty pageant volume. Only thing I don't like about this product is the way it shoots out of the bottle [BEWARE], but I most definitely wouldn't let that deter me or others from using this awesome product! :)5

Journal Sentinel book editor Jim Higgins highlights things worth reading, in print and online
A Spotify playlist for Alan Light's book on the song 'Hallelujah'
In his new book "The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of 'Hallelujah' (Atria)," Alan Light traces the evolution of Leonard Cohen's song from 1984 album track to one of the pop fixtures of our time.
In an interview published at the fabulous Cohen fansite 1heckofaguy.com, Light expressed his hope for the book this way:
"Hopefully, (readers) will learn the story of a song that has a trajectory unlike any other I know of, a genuine modern standard that took several decades and numerous unexpected paths to attain an international audience and become a true anthem."
I'm writing about the book for this Sunday's Cue section (and Tapmilwaukee.com, of course). In the meantime, I've made a Spotify playlist of some of the many performances of "Hallelujah" that Light discusses. Since he makes the point that the late Jeff Buckley's version is the most popular and influential, it leads the playlist.

Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme collaborated on a three-volume course on drawing the human figure, intended to guide the novice student preparing to enter a professional workshop. Bargue flaunted his skill as a draughtsman in this jewel-like picture of a Turkish guard. The tiny composition boasts a remarkable range of textures and surfaces, from the gleaming hookah, to the cobbled street, to the soft pleated folds of the figure's skirt.
