About this Guide
This website provides a guide to conducting research in Film Studies at Yale University, highlighting key resources and crucial search strategies. There are many special aspects to doing Film Studies research, including:
- important but unintuitive search terms, such as "motion pictures"
- techniques for finding videos, reviews and screenplays
- intersecting topics, such as how a social group is represented on screen (its role in front of the camera) and its position within the film industry (its role behind the camera)
- major topics (such as financial aspects) that are less prominent in other fields within the arts and humanities
- cast and crew information
- and much more
Through this website, I try to give you some ways to crack open Film Studies' numerous subjects. Most of the pages give examples that you can use as a model for your searches, descriptions of the main resources, and tips on how to use certain databases.
It's important to know that even though the guide focuses on strategies for finding books, often the same or similar approaches will work in article databases.
There are also pages for particular classes, and every month I provide a list of books (and sometimes microfilms, databases and other resources) that the Library acquired the month before.
Questions? Want to discuss your research needs? Please contact me!

Dancing With The Stars
Why Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy Will Win DWTS All-Stars
Who will win Dancing With the Stars All-Stars? A female celeb! But it could be any one of these three candidates: Shawn Johnson, Kelly Monaco or Melissa Rycroft. They all have strengths and weaknesses and we'll be sharing reasons why each of them could win. Here are three reasons why Season 1 champ Kelly could be taking home her second Mirror Ball trophy.
1. She's the most improved
Kelly and Shawn are both winners, but Kelly won the very first season, which only had six episodes and was drastically different from how it was for Shawn and Melissa on Season 8, never mind today. Kelly has steadily improved over the course of Season 15, in terms of technique and also entertainment value. She puts her acting skills to good use, getting into the character of each dance — even the ones that don't show off her natural chemistry with Valentin Chmerkovskiy. But on that note...
2. She and Val have smokin' hot chemistry
Kelly has a huge fan base from General Hospital, and she and Val have wisely tapped into soap fans' natural love for passion and drama. Team Vally has fully embraced the are-they-or-aren't-they flirtation, teasing fans with more evidence of their smoldering chemistry and more shots of Val's ripped body. Non-fans may sniff that Kelly and Val should get a room, but the other two couples are already doing the wholesome, just friends, America's Sweetheart thing, so why not be the raw, sexy, outspoken couple? It's a TV show, and Team Vally gives fans a little dessert along with their healthy servings of great dancing.
3. They are the real underdogs
The judges — and Melissa — have painted Melissa as the underdog, because she's the only one who has yet to win a Mirror Ball trophy, but Melissa made it through more episodes of Season 8 than Kelly ever did on Season 1. And the judges have responded better to Melissa and Tony Dovolani's dancing on All-Stars. Kelly and Val still have yet to score a 10 this season. The judges just seem to prefer what Melissa and Shawn are doing. It's possible Kelly's first 10s are coming on the Finals. If so, it would be the culmination of a long journey of improvement. But Kelly and Val have been at the bottom of the judges' leaderboard before and made it through, so even if they end up there again on Monday, it's no guarantee that their loyal fans won't still push them to victory. Besides, a Chmerkovskiy has yet to win a Mirror Ball trophy, even after having at least one on DWTS since Season 2. Isn't it time?
Check out our reasons why Shawn and Melissa will win.

In a modern retelling of a Jane Austen classic, prom season at the prestigious Longbourn Academy is a BIG DEAL, complete with couture gowns and broadcast news coverage. But it's unlikely there will be a prom for Lizzie Bennett, who attends Longbourn on a music scholarship. If not for the kindness of her best friend, Jane, and the attentions of local boy, Wick, Lizzie would know nothing but the constant torment of her snobbish schoolmates. None of them, however, can set Lizzie's blood boiling faster than handsome, privileged, unpredictable Will Darcy.

United States Attorney Booth Goodwin recently recognized 56 high school juniors as U.S. Attorney's Ambassadors for Justice during a ceremony at the Culture Center in Charleston. The U.S. Attorney's Ambassadors for Justice program is an initiative led by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of West Virginia. It honors high school juniors who have shown outstanding leadership skills and a commitment to social justice.
The ceremony marked the second time U.S. Attorney Goodwin has recognized young leaders from high schools in the Southern District of West Virginia as Ambassadors for Justice.
The 2013 U.S. Attorney's Ambassadors for Justice representing Logan County are Dalton McGinnis, Logan High School, and Joey Buchanon, Man High School.
"I am very pleased to honor the second class of high school juniors from throughout the Southern District as my Ambassadors for Justice," U.S. Attorney Goodwin said. "These 56 students have each demonstrated a powerful ethical compass. They've exemplified tremendous leadership."
Goodwin continued, "Their ideas and perspectives are invaluable. These are students who are willing to step forward and do something if one of their peers makes a self-destructive decision or bullies someone else."
Goodwin said that his office is deeply concerned about problems facing young people in his district. "This isn't just an award or a title. This is an ongoing mission for me, my office, our schools, our communities, and for each of these Ambassadors for Justice, so that together we can exert positive influences in our schools and communities," said Goodwin.
The U.S. Attorney's Ambassadors for Justice program was created by U.S. Attorney Goodwin last year in response to rising school bullying and social media threats involving young people. The program was also spurred by a February 2012 school shooting at Chardon High School in Chardon, Ohio, in which a student opened fire on his classmates, killing three and wounding two others. Other episodes involving planned violent attacks by young people that were prevented due to the swift actions of students and school Prevention Resource Officers here in the Southern District of West Virginia have also encouraged U.S. Attorney Goodwin's initiative.
Nominations to be U.S. Attorney's Ambassadors for Justice are made by school principals and administrative leaders. Goodwin said that outstanding character, devotion to citizenship, and a commitment to serving others are fundamentals for nomination. This year, 56 out of 59 high schools in the 23-county Southern District of West Virginia nominated outstanding students to be Ambassadors for Justice.

Middle names revealed: Alan Gordon, Chris Wondolowski named to the Gold Cup preliminary USMNT roster
Quakes forwards, Alan Gordon and Chris Wondolowski, were named to the preliminary 35-man USMNT roster for the upcoming Gold Cup. CONCACAF revealed all twelve teams' preliminary rosters on Friday, with each roster to be trimmed down to a final 23-man version by June 27. The opening match for the Gold Cup is set for July 8.
The USMNT roster is very MLS-heavy at the moment, with players representing from the Houston Dynamo, Sporting Kansas City, Real Salt Lake, San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders, LA Galaxy, D.C. United, Chicago Fire and Philadelphia Union.
Another great thing about the roster reveal? Middle names.
Another #USMNT naming revelation: He's not just Alan Gordon. He's Alan Eugene Gordon II. Greatness was preordained. We should have known.

First Look: Southern Pacific Brewing, San Francisco
According to owner Chris Lawrence, San Francisco's newest brewhouse will concentrate on a lineup of clean, dry, easy-drinking West Coast-style beers. This sounds about right for a restaurant with a biergarten out front that should support lots of sunny-day drinking. But with local winery A.P. Vin as a neighbor, Southern Pacific has already started experimenting with aging its beer in used wine barrels. Join us for a little tour of the newest brewery-by-the-bay. More

Professor of Theatre
B.F.A., Carnegie Mellon University - Institute of TechnologyM.F.A., D.F.A., School of Drama, Yale University
Professor Gild, a tenured Professor of Theatre, spent his youth in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Upon completing high school he was accepted into the Drama Department of Carnegie-Tech, where he majored in playwriting. During his time at "Tech" he studied all aspects of theatrical production, especially stage directing. After graduation he applied to and was accepted into the playwriting program at the Yale University School of Drama. At Yale Professor Gild was the recipient of continuing playwriting fellowships and was appointed assistant to John Gassner, Sterling Professor of Playwriting. At Yale Professor Gild's play, The Duel, was given a main stage production. Two shorter works, one of them a Samuel French prize-winning play, were also produced. After earning the Master of Fine Arts, Professor Gild spent an additional year completing pre-doctoral courses. Before relocating to New York, Professor Gild remained in Connecticut one final year teaching on the college level. While in New York he taught at various colleges and immersed himself in the New York theatre scene. He began his association with Long Island University while teaching at LIU Brooklyn, during which time he completed his Doctor of Fine Arts from Yale, taught courses in acting, directing, theatre history, and playwriting, and found time to serve as the Associate Dean of the School of Visual and Performing Arts on site in Brooklyn and as the Chair of the Enabling Committee sponsoring an international convention on popular entertainments.

Ali started the one thousand wishes project. All proceeds from the shop will go to the Canadian Red Cross Japan earthquake and tsunami fund. Many thanks to Ali for her wish and hope to collect at least one thousand dollars. I absolutely love this project and the story of the paper cranes.
For those iphone users. Have you seen this new app? This app is SUPER cool! Design your own hat using whatever yarn you have on hand. Big man head? Small baby head? Super chunky yarn? Super fine yarn? No problem! It has 99 different hat combinations. For $5.99, I think it is quite a deal. Imagine all the personalization you can do! How about designing a bunch of different hats and writing your own pattern book?! Come on. Tap into those passions and dreams. And, don't let anyone tell you you can't, cause you absolutely can! Oh, and for those android users, this app should be available in September.
Blarter. Have something you want? Something someone else may need? Do an exchange. Molly is a serious genius coming up with this idea. I love the idea of exchanging your crafty goods with someone else's. 100% totally useful!

Child care organizations and parents across the globe are joining together the Friday before Mother's Day, May 7, 2010, to celebrate Provider Appreciation Day. Provider Appreciation Day is a special day to recognize child care providers, teachers, school-age program staff, child care center directors and staff, and all those who work with children and are responsible for their education and care. It is estimated that there are nearly 2.8 million child care providers in the United States and that more than 11 million children under age 5 are in their care.
"By applauding the dedication of child care providers on May 7, we remind our communities of the importance of high-quality child care, and let providers everywhere know that we recognize and value their important work," said Linda K. Smith, Executive Director of the National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies (NACCRRA), the host organization of Provider Appreciation Day. "It is important that the care a child receives during the first five years of life be of high-quality because approximately 90 percent of brain development occurs during those years."
In recent years, local governments across the United States have joined many Governors in proclaiming this day of recognition. Around the globe, Department of Defense installations celebrate Provider Appreciation Day by recognizing those who care for the children of military parents living both at home and abroad. The celebrations this year promise to carry on and strengthen Provider Appreciation Day. Events such as luncheons, parades, dedications, and other recognition celebrations are planned throughout the United States in an effort to honor child care providers for their hard work and commitment to children.
Provider Appreciation Day is a special day to recognize child care providers, teachers, and other educators of young children everywhere. Started in 1996 by a group of volunteers in New Jersey, Provider Appreciation Day is appropriately celebrated each year on the Friday before Mother's Day. The founding organizers saw the need to recognize the tireless efforts of providers who care for children of working parents. Momentum and support for this event has grown each year and recognition presently includes individuals and government organizations throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.
To learn more about Provider Appreciation Day or for ideas on how you can thank your child care provider, visit www.providerappreciationday.org.
NACCRRA, the National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies, is our nation's leading voice for child care. We work with more than 800 state and local Child Care Resource and Referral agencies to ensure that families in every local community have access to high quality, affordable childcare. To achieve our mission, we lead projects that increase the quality and availability of child care professionals, undertake research, and advocate child care policies that positively impact the lives of children and families.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn-- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga student-athlete Paula Passmore (Merritt Island, Fla.) was named September's Defensive Player of the Month by the Southern Conference Wednesday afternoon.
The Mocs' senior recorded 336 digs in the month and was named Defensive Player of the Week for Sept. 18-24, her second weekly honor of the season.
The libero leads the SoCon with 432 digs and is ranked third in the NCAA with an average of 6.35 digs per set. Passmore was ranked as high as second in the nation mid-way through the month. UTC ranks 40th in the NCAA with 16.94 digs per set.
Passmore's most outstanding defensive match of the season occurred just last weekend as the senior led Chattanooga to a 3-2 win over Wofford at Maclellan Gym. The 2010 SoCon Libero of the Year tallied a season-high and career-best 42 digs during the five-set victory.
The senior also moved up in the UTC record book last Saturday night with her 2064th career dig. Beginning the season fourth among Chattanooga's all-time digs leaders, Passmore passed by Kari Krouse (2000-03, 1769 digs) after seven matches, and moved ahead of Kylie Hunter (1990-93, 2058 digs) to take sole-possession of second place all-time at Chattanooga. Passmore now trails only Lara Newberry (2005-08, 3176 digs) Chattanooga and the nation's all-time digs leader.
Passmore and the Mocs return to action Friday night as the team travels to Elon, N.C., to take on the Phoenix at 6 p.m., before moving on to Greensboro, N.C., to face off against UNCG Saturday night at 6 p.m.

Video demonstration of the Field and Sport Model
A video of Clay Allison, owner of Wicked Edge demonstrating the Field and Sport model:
Sharpening below 20 degrees on the F&S Model
Here is a response from forum member WayneReimer, to a question about sharpening below 20 degrees on the Field and Sport Model...
A couple of suggestions to offer since I've done about 100 knives on the Field and Sport so far, including quite a few at 20 degrees. First of all, make sure you actually NEED 20 degrees. There are a lot more edges at 22 than 20 in my experience, including several that are actually published with specs showing 20, when they're actually closer to 22.
There are VERY few knives that won't sharpen at 20 degrees. In my experience so far, that's the cut-off angle; anything below that is dependant on the blade width, but at 20, if you make CERTAIN that you are never trying to sharpen with the bottom bolt extended into the vise too far.
Back out both bolts until they are inside the vise frame. Position your knife properly against the ledge in the top of the vise...VERY important. Then tighten the top bolt onto the knife until the knife is held firmly by the top bolt tension only. DON'T over tighten, but tighten it firmly. you should not be able to move the blade by bumping it. THEN, tighten the bottom bolt in. Again, don't reef on it with both hands; remember the knife is already held in place with the upper bolt.
The blade positioning is important with the F&S, and the bolt issue is big. Another work around based on your photo, try sharpening one side of the blade on the clean side of the vise ( the movable side), then turn the knife in the vise and sharpen the other side.
I hope some of that helps!

In just four months, more than $1 million has been pledged to wildlife conservation efforts around the world thanks to vacationing families participating in the new "SeaWorld Cares" program.
The program was launched in April and allowed families to receive a discounted child ticket and have the entire admission price donated to wildlife conservation. Families participating in the program are helping save polar bears in the Arctic, inspiring kids to spend more time outdoors, protecting coral reefs and supporting wildlife projects worldwide.


text: Sephora Fairytale Contour Eye Pencil ($9.00 for 0.04 oz.) is described as a "golden green." It's a blue-teal with green and gold micro-shimmer. This shade was only semi-opaque when applied, and even layering by doing multiple passes didn't quite intensify it to really true-to-pencil color. I wouldn't recommend wearing it on the water line if you have sensitive eyes due to the amount of shimmer in it (and I don't think it's touted as water line safe). It lasted well for nine hours on me (not the 12 hours claimed), and by the twelfth hour, it was thinner than it was when I had initially applied but I didn't see smudging or a lot in the corners of my eyes. Make Up For Ever #52L doesn't have the golden shimmer. Urban Decay Junkie seems a bit darker. MAC Undercurrent is also darker. See comparison swatches.


text: My friend and I are planning a hunt for our senior year. He hunts out west and I hunt in the east. We are located in Eastern North Dakota. A combo hunt in MT would be 900$ for the mulie and elk tags alone. But he keeps saying it is worth it. But I think paying close to a grand for tags is crazy since we have a good chance of not shooting anything. Another option would be just mulie on the charles russell. But he says we would need a boat to get to the big deer. I said we could save some money, and have good chances of tagging out, and just go pronghorn in WY. Its a relatively cheap tag and lots if them around. What do you guys think? We strongly wanted to do a later season bull elk hunt in CO, but it is just so far from home.

The Hugo Cocktail from 'The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen'
Inspired by and named for the infamous hurricane that wrecked the Carolina coast in 1989, Matt and Ted Lee's Hugo cocktail is just as fierce as its namesake. At its core, the beverage is a riff on a Dark and Stormy, but it uses a serious dose of fresh ginger juice instead of the soda. The juice (plus the rum, of course) is strong enough to distract the drinker from any storm heading inland. More

Regular people think "Wow. That's pretty racist and gross."
Silat people think "I have GOT to get me one of THESE!"

Quote from their site:
"The core of our curriculum is FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS (FMA). The three principle systems upon which we draw are Inosanto Blend (Guro Dan Inosanto), Pekiti Tirsia (Grand Tuhon Leo Gaje), and Lameco (the late Punong Guro Edgar Sulite), though of course there are many others too. We consider Silat to be a part of both unarmed and weaponry FMA, and, although not Filipino, we wish to acknowledge the influence of the Indonesian system of Bukti Negara Pentjak Silat of Pendekar Paul de Thouars."

But I get what you mean.
But that's a large portion of American's fascination with the culture of asian martial arts instead of its reality. You could just as easily have written tea ceremony instead of cannibalism.Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.
-excerpt of the poem called "Desiderata," by Max Ehrman, 1927.

However, if you are truly interested in Silat, why don't you take your happy ass out and go have your own experience, huh?
I'm not the only person on this thread that has stated that there are various styles of Silat available, some are bullshit gymnastic dancing, and some are really good. There are HUNDREDS of styles of Silat, be they Sumantran, Javanese, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino, or Dutch Indo (& there are even more). They're all significantly different in appearance and application.THIS IS REALITY.
You can go out and seek your own experience, or not, & choose to believe what you like."Judo is a study of techniques with which you may kill if you wish to kill, injure if you wish to injure, subdue if you wish to subdue, and, when attacked, defend yourself" - Jigoro Kano (1889)
***Was this quote "taken out of context"?***

Google tests a new search interface that hides the options from the sidebar by default. You need to click a small arrow icon to see the list of specialized search engines and some advanced search options that let you filter results.
Essentially, this experiment hides the sidebar's content, but the sidebar still takes up space. Back in 2009, the sidebar was hidden by default and Google made it more visible one year later.
Now that the navigation bar no longer includes many specialized search engines, it doesn't make sense to hide the sidebar. Another issue is that the sidebar highlights advanced options that are relevant to your query, but few people will find them if the sidebar is collapsed by default.

For nearly a decade, it appeared that tougher requirements for teens to get their driver's licenses were making a big difference in terms of safety.
From 2000 to 2010, the number of 16-year-old drivers who were killed in traffic accidents on the nation's roads fell by nearly two-thirds and the number of 17-year-old drivers who died dropped by more than half, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. Those reductions were far more sizable than the 25 percent reduction for drivers older than 17 during the same period.
A reasonable conclusion for that marked improvement was that graduated driver license programs enacted in nearly all states were having the intended effect. GDL programs phase in driving privileges for new teen drivers as they gain experience behind the wheel. They usually involve a learner stage that involves a minimum amount of supervised driving time, an intermediate stage with some expanded privileges that still might set limits on number of passengers in a car and night-time driving, and a final stage with full privileges.
Unfortunately, the improving trend from the early part of this century has been interrupted, the Governors Highway Safety Association, or GHSA, reported recently.
In 2011 the number of 16- and 17-year-old drivers who were killed rose slightly and in the first half of 2012 was on a pace to increase 19 percent more, according to preliminary data released last month. Twenty-five states reported increased fatalities, including West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, and 17 showed decreases.
The GHSA suggests that two factors may be at play for this reversal. One is that an improving economy generally means young motorists can afford to log more miles behind the wheel, thus increasing the odds that more will be killed. The other is that the benefits derived from introducing graduated driver license programs across the country in the last two decades may be leveling off. …
The GHSA notes that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has estimated that if each state adopted all of the most stringent requirements that are in force in graduated driver license programs found sporadically across the country, the number of fatal crashes could be reduced by an average of 37 percent. …
Police enforcement of GDL laws also remains a problem. … The association notes that West Virginia, for example, has surveyed police about their knowledge of GDL laws to help develop a strategy for boosting enforcement.
Parents also can play a key role, by not only seeing that the driving requirements for their teen drivers are met, but also by setting an example with their own driving habits and emphasizing safe driving habits and attitudes. …

DCTF Cover Reveal
2014-06-06 12:00:00
We'll reveal the cover of the 2014 Summer Edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football at noon on Friday.
For the first time in nearly 40 years, Dave Campbell's Texas Football is green (and gold) with envy.
The defending Big 12 champion Baylor Bears — specifically coach Art Briles, quarterback Bryce Petty and wide receiver Antwan Goodley — grace the cover of the 2014 summer edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football, the 55th edition of "the bible of Texas football."
Standing in front of the soon-to-be-completed McLane Stadium, the cover encapsulates the new Baylor — the program that Briles has built into a Big 12 champion and continues to build into a national contender.
The headline, too, encapsulates that notion: "WORK OF ART: With a new stadium & a new swagger, Briles' Baylor is built to last".
"It was a slam-dunk pick for the cover this year," Texas Football managing editor Greg Tepper said. "The cover of Texas Football always aspires to reflect the biggest story in the state that year, and there's little doubt that the Bears are the biggest story in Texas. With the meteoric rise of the long-downtrodden program thanks in large part to consummate Texan Art Briles, plus a new stadium, Baylor is — for truly the first time — the football center of the Lone Star State."
The cover is truly historic: it marks the first time since 1975 that Baylor alone commands the cover. Back then, it was head coach Grant Teaff.
Also on the cover: new Texas coach Charlie Strong, who begins his era at the helm of the Longhorns.
About the Magazine
-The magazine will hit shelves across Texas on June 20, and readers can reserve their copy now or become a DCTF Legends or Champions member to have the magazine shipped directly to them.
-Once again, the magazine is 400 pages — the largest football preview magazine of its kind.
-The magazine will also be available digitally through the DCTF App, available on iPad, iPhone, Android devices and Kindle.
-The cover story on the birth of the new Baylor under Art Briles is superbly written by Jason Cohen of Texas Monthly.
-The secondary feature on the concussion epidemic across Texas, specifically on the story of Houston quarterback David Piland, is penned by Ben Baby of the Denton Record-Chronicle.
-As always, the magazine features five pages of preview for each of the 12 FBS programs in the state – Baylor, Houston, North Texas, Rice, SMU, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Texas State, UTSA and UTEP.
-The magazine also has extensive previews on every sub-FBS team in the state – from the state's eight FCS programs to Division II, Division III, junior colleges and prep academies.
-Dave Campbell's Texas Football maintains its place as the authority on Texas high school football, previewing more than 1,400 high school teams — including every public high school in the state and a bigger-than-ever private schools section.
-The book also features expanded high school rankings, players to watch, preseason All-State teams, coverboys and more for every classification – from the new Class 6A all the way down to Class 1A (six-man football).
-DCTF's widely respected recruiting section is back, anchored by longtime recruiting analyst Randy Rodgers. More than 20 pages of recruiting info, from the legendary DCTF Super Team to the top 300 recruits in the state for the class of 2015 (and beyond) to our annual four-year recruiting review.
All in all, it's the biggest, best edition of the bible of Texas football yet, and a must-have for all true football fans. Remember: you can reserve your copy now or subscribe, or pick it up on shelves across Texas starting June 20.
Cover Fun Facts
-Art Briles is the fourth Baylor coach to be on the cover of DCTF, joining John Bridgers (1964), Grant Teaff (1975) and Chuck Reedy (1996).
-Bryce Petty and Antwan Goodley are the first Baylor players to be on the cover since Walter Abercrombie in 1981. Petty is the first Baylor quarterback and Goodley the second Baylor wide receiver, to be on the cover — previous BU players were Ronnie Bull (running back, 1961), Lawrence Elkins (wide receiver, 1964), Mike Singletary (linebacker, 1980) and Abercrombie (running back, 1981).
-Briles is the first DCTF coverboy to coach both high school and college football in Texas since Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes (1990 and 1996).
Be sure to watch Fox Sports Southwest's "Under The Lights" at 10 p.m. tonight for an in-depth look at the magazine with DCTF managing editor Greg Tepper, as well as Randy Rodgers' exclusive announcement of the DCTF Super Team.
Check out TexasFootball.com for a new edition of the DCTF Podcast in which managing editor Greg Tepper and associate editor EJ Holland discuss the cover as well as other topics from around the state.

It REALLY depends on the mod. I got a 3 month ban for saying SWTOR was going to go ftp a month or so before they annouced it. I said it in a sarcastic your game bad and you should feel bad way but it wasnt overtly nasty.
This site is 20% news and 80% commentary. Much of that commentary is bought with advertising money and it shows.
This is barely a "gaming site". It's just one big advertisement for who pays more.

It is easier to Fight for Principles then it is to Live up to them.
I agree. MMORPG is run like Communist China. it used to be a good site to visit to see how other games were and to read other peoples opinions on the games. You used to get the odd person being being blantly offensive, but for a few years now they started banning people for expressing their opinion in a cival and mature way.
I've been a member at this site for 7 years and there used to be a lot of cool people on this site but they don't even visit here anymore because the Moderators banned them all for expressing their opinion. There is not as many people as there were when i first came here because they bann everyone for the most stupid things imaginable. I myself hardly ever post here anymore because I get banned just for even being nice to people, and then labled a troll. Moderators seriously need to lay off the crack pipe. Seriously.
*ps* Ill probably get banned again for saying this site is run like communist china then labled a troll.

Admit nothing, deny everything and make counter accusations
My 2p.
Been here for years. Had many warnings, and almost as many temp-bans. Mostly for calling out trolls and ocasional trolling myself (can't help it). The longest have been for daring to bring up religion. THAT my friends will get you a ban real quick! Oh and don't forget about the "P" word, oh my! File sharing is SOOOO evil! The fall of civilazation for sure. Banned straight to hell for mentioning that abomanation of computing as it was meant to exist and was created for.
That being said, these here forums are no worse than any other ones I've been on. A quick-fingered Mod here and there but most of the time I deserved it. The calling out of trolls and you getting the warning and not the troll itsself is kinda silly but oh well. It's not bad enough for me to leave.
At least the CEO of the site hasn't called anyone a dirty thieving "pirate" for (insert deity of choice here) sakes! Now THAT would be cause to bitch.
Lets hope not...

Hi guys,
Well, I've read through this entire thread, so let me touch on a few things:
First to address the OP:
Ultimately, we have a very simple goal here and that is to ensure that our forums are an environment conducive to constructive discussion. And yes, we're more than aware things aren't perfect.
As far as infractions go, most of the time, people simply need to understand where they went wrong and they never appear on our radar again. Believe me, I'm not interested in punishing the odd lapse of judgment, it happens to all of us, I get that. The point of issuing infractions is to say, "Hey. This isn't acceptable. Please don't do this again." That's essentially what a warning is. If you disagree with the infraction, you feel we legitimately screwed up, or you have a question about it, all you need to do is reply to the auto-generated e-mail.
Now, if you've received enough of these infractions to end up with lengthy and/or frequent temporary bans, well, I'll be honest, the problem isn't with us. The fact of the matter is that we have a great deal of users who post every day and rarely, if ever, receive an infraction. And they don't have some magic moderator warding trinket or anything. It's really not that complicated. You don't need to be familiar with each and every case and instance something would be considered trolling or flaming to avoid the banstick. Simply post in the interest of cultivating meaningful discussion and treat your fellow community members with civility and respect, especially when you disagree, and you should be fine.
Of course, we do understand that things get heated at times and our emotions get the best of us, which is why, as many members in this thread have already attested to, I'm pretty lenient about forgiving that sort of thing from your record. The infraction system we have in place is also designed to forgive the odd lapse of judgment even without me even having to overturn it for you. It's pretty hard to get yourself permanently banned or put on a long vacation unless your behavior has become a considerable source of toxicity on the forums. Basically, we give you a considerable length of rope. It's up to you whether or not you ultimately hang yourself with it.
As far as us missing things goes, as much as we try, our team can't be everywhere at once. It's likely that we'll sometimes miss things given the volume of posts on our boards, but it doesn't mean we're OK with that behavior if it is out of line. This is why we ask that you pitch in and report posts instead of fighting it out on the open forums. While it is our moderators' jobs to enforce our Rules of Conduct, this is ultimately your community. If you see something lingering somewhere that you know from experience that we'd jump on, there's a very good chance we just missed it somehow. So, please just flag it and we'll look into it!
Anyways, this post has gone on far too long as it is. I'd just like to assure you all that I've read through each and every post and we do appreciate your taking the time to offer your feedback, both positive and negative.

"Kill me, my man kills you, that's how you lose."
How come people come in my threads, ruin them, attack me, and I say something back I get temp banned... I ignore them, the thread gets locked?
Almost every ban/warning I have comes after somebody decides to call me out or I receive a ridiculous warning/ban because I feel SWTOR was the 2nd worst game now (TSW) being the worst imo that I have every played.

Oh well I think it is obvious by the hundreds of warnings/bans I have that I will never stop arguing back when somebody tells me I am wrong, or cannot comprehend something and tells me its contradicting, or comes in attacking my thread and gets it locked...

I simply don't feel like the moderator team knows what trolling is. Often blatant trolling threads are open for hours to days, because it's not openly negative. It's still trolling if the OP has no intention of engaging in a discussion. Or worse ignores counter arguments and only focusses on those that agree.

The problem is that the RoC is pretty broad and open to interpretation depending on the mod and those who like to spam the report button.
Basically, you can report anyones' ideas if you do not like what was said or you lack a valid response. Personally, I think it's a cowards way out. But, if you can spin your report into an interpretation of offending the RoC, you'll win. Depending of course, on who the mod is that day.
Define "troll". Or even better, define "hate". How can you ban or censor a feeling? If you asked everyone what the definition of some RoC, you would get that many different answers.
If you look at a dictionary for some of the RoC buzzwords, one stands out for me, you will see that the definition of the word includes "usually", which of course is not definite at all. My point is that definitions are definite. The wording of the RoC is up for interpretation by a moderator. Which will make a decision based on their personal belief of what they consider right and wrong based on personal, political, and moral ideas. Nothing wrong with that at all. It's how we all make decisions and why we protect those among us that share those same beliefs.
Threads can't be expected to be constructive all the time. If I didn't have a chuckle once in awhile, I wouldn't come to this site anymore. Nothing says you have to agree or disagree with anyone. Nobody says that you have to respond to other peoples' ideas or thoughts. What's important is having the ability to have different thoughts and ideas. Sometimes it's nice to hear other peoples' ideas. "Oh good, I'm not the only one". Ever say that to yourself?
I think Gen. Patton said, "If everyone is thinking the same, then nobody is thinking." That's why censorship is bad.
Am I calling for everyone to run amuck here? No. But, banning someone for stating something so daring, so dangerous, such as,
A: "themeparks are for simpletons with neck-beards and fat, little sausage fingers"
instead of stating,
B: "In my opinion and experience, I highly suspect that a number in the majority of those who patron, what is refered to as "themeparks", have low IQs and expectations in life, to include social, financial, and health."
I said the same exact thing but with less pork products and facial (neck?) hair.

Everyone like the referees until the call goes against them...
OP left less than 10 posts so far and is complaining about moderation; moderation is a philosphical topic and at the end of the day "it is what it is". A forum will take eventually take on the personality of the moderators, which is I am sure what the site owners prefer.
Most of us do, too.

It doesn't surprise me that people overreact and view general statements as personal attacks, and it also doesn't surprise me that the modding staff reinforces that overreaction by warning or banning users. I wish people were less ignorant about that specific issue.
I agree with NorseGod, and not just because I fear that he'll use his divine powers to smite me if I don't. When rules are not strictly defined and left open to interpretation, you'll have confusion and disagreement from all parties on whether or not a rule is violated.

It is very gratifying to hear from so many of you over my recent shift in roles. I am sure there is much concern and misunderstanding so I want to address that openly and frankly.
Per the issue of our moving our admin offices to Minnesota: That was my call and not something that was done lightly. I am great at strategy, at ideas, at talking and less impressive when it comes to things like balancing the books. The burden of that important admin work was immense and I was not doing it well. Jaime is wired this way and has agreed to take it on. Bless her, bless her, bless her. I need that, the PF needs that and ultimately we are a better organization for it.
Per the issue of my not being "ED": Well, the reality is that the PF cannot afford to pay me and I was able to live off savings for a few years to get this started but now I can't. I think everyone (including me) would like to be able to pay me to work full-time for the PF so that I am not distracted with petty things like "earning a living" and "feeding my children" but hey--that is not where we are at right now. We will be one day and then I am happy to come back on board full-time if that is what the PF Board and membership thinks is best for the PF.
Per me not being very present on the FORUM: My apologies. The truth is that I have been working full-time, raising my boys and have had a very nice boyfriend with whom I am spending much of my free-time. I have some balance back in my life for the first time since I nearly died in 1996 and so I have been enjoying that. It isn't that I don't love you all--you know I do--but rather that I want to be more balanced about my love. So I have stepped back and allowed others to step up. I think that has been a really positive thing actually though I do appreciate being missed and that has made me realize that I probably don't want to step back QUITE so far. Also, I did just take some time to mourn the death of my mother--but I am feeling ready to jump back in which leads me to my final point:
I am busy writing "THE BOOK". The best news for Anne this year is that we got a grant earmarked for the writing of the Preeclampsia Sourcebook and I am writing the book. The grant provides me much needed extra income (Christmas came--thanks to "the book") and yet still do something that I feel immensely passionate and committed to. I hope to have the book done this year and am pulling much of it from the previous "Founder's Corner" articles, the Ask the Expert Q & A and the stories from our very own website. If you want to help with "the book"--by all means--I could use whatever help I can get.
You are all dear to me and I appreciate everything you do. We have a big year ahead of us and I am not going anywhere--we have the Mother's Day Walkathon ("Pregnancy is not just a Walk in the Park!") and we have the first big fundraising in Minnesota this November and we have our conference in August in W. Virginia. There is plenty of work to go around and fortunately--many many of you are stepping up and taking this on. We cannot thank you enough.
And as always--if you wish to support this work--please consider a tax-deductible donation. We cannot do any of this work without it--we need it to hire staff, to pay for permits, to pay for postage, to design brochures, to fund research. We need it to do the work that no one else is doing.

Always here for you,

The new John Singleton film Shaft opened atop the feature film heap this past weekend, with an inaugural take of $21.1 million.
And the countdown is on for the McFarlane action figure based on leading man Samuel L. Jackson. The Shaft figure will be part of the Movie Maniacs 3 lineup, set for an August release.
Jackson's character, John Shaft, is the nephew of that infamous "black private dick" played by Richard Roundtree in the 1970s vintage Shaft films. The 2000 version is a sequel of sorts, Shaft is now a cop rather than a private investigator, but the film is more a traditional shoot-em-up rather than the Mickey Spillane-esque detective stories of old.
And Singleton has much more sheer acting talent to work with. Jackson is amazing as always, with backups from such notables as Vanessa Williams, Toni Collette, Busta Rhymes and Christian Bale.
The action figure portrays a stunning likeness to Jackson's Shaft character. It stands 7 inches tall in a swirling black leather trenchcoat with a gun and funky removeable sunglasses. The figure has eight points of articulation.
Any questions?

Toledo couple to appear on 'House Hunters'Written by Danielle Stanton | | email@example.com
Young professionals Matt Rubin and Breanne Democko have taken the "You Will Do Better in Toledo," slogan to new heights. The professionally and socially active Toledo couple are the subject of an HGTV "House Hunters" episode that shines a positive spotlight on the Glass City.
Soon after the couple got engaged, they started watching "House Hunters," a show in which a realtor leads potential home buyers through three properties. At the time, they thought, "We could totally be on this show." They submitted a video and were selected.
The couple said they wanted to showcase the wonderful qualities of Toledo as well as find a property they loved.
HGTV's website gives a sneak peak into the segment that airs at 10 p.m. July 22.
"Matt and fiancée Bre are young professionals living in Downtown Toledo's Warehouse District," according to the website. "Tired of renting, they've decided it's time to buy. Problem is, Matt wants to stay Downtown and buy an industrial style loft, while Bre wants a home outside the city with a great neighborhood and room for a future family. Who will win out?"
During a recent phone interview, the couple gave nothing away about the show. But they said they are still happily engaged to be married in August — despite taping the show during the polar vortex in December and January.
The couple, both of whom hail from outside the city — Rubin near Detroit and Democko from Youngstown – came to the University of Toledo where they earned their undergraduate and graduate degrees. They built a life and decided to stay.
"We're not from here, our families aren't from here, but we chose Toledo," Democko said.
They picked the city from several other opportunities because they fell in love with it, they said. Rubin checked off several highlights of the city – the zoo, the parks, the low cost of living – that enticed them to find a home in Toledo.
They both know there's blight in Toledo, but said they believe in accentuating the positive. While taping the "House Hunters" segment, they spoke about Toledo, mentioning the university, the Mud Hens expansion and businesses Downtown.
"There's so many great resources –- it's phenomenal," Rubin said. "I think when people come to Toledo they're surprised. That's what kept us in town. … We feel we can fulfill our American dream here."
Realtor Al Hotchkiss from Sulfur Springs Realty lead them through the house-buying process.
Democko, an attorney, said they had just gotten engaged and were planning the wedding when Rubin suggested they go on the show. She thought at the time that it would never happen.
"He really had to convince me to do it because I was really camera shy," Democko said.
The taping, they said, couldn't have come at a worse time. Not only had the polar vortex hit and they were planning their wedding, but Rubin was finishing his MBA at UT and had just started at Hart Associates.
There's no doubt the couple are die-hard Toledo fans. They own a three-panel canvas wall hanging that says, "You Will Do Better in Toledo."
"There's no better (slogan) than "You Will Do Better in Toledo," because it's so true," Democko said.

Lessons on the Riverbank
Faculty member:
Leo Bodensteiner
Environmental Science
By Mary Lane Gallagher
Her feet planted in sodden feltsoled boots, Rosie Cullinane sweeps her fishing rod over her head, orange line arcing above the creek rushing high and loud with snowmelt.
Cullinane won't be graded on whether she catches a fish on today's field trip with her class, "The Art, Science and Ethics of Flyfishing," but she is eager to see if the casting techniques she learned on the lawn in front of Old Main will tempt a rainbow trout onto her hook.
"You have to take a look around," explains Cullinane. "You have to get to know your environment before you dive right in."
The 46-year-old Fairhaven College student maneuvers her hand-tied elkhair caddis toward a spot she hopes a trout might rest: hovering in an eddy away from the creek's fastest current.
Three weeks into the summer class taught by Leo Bodensteiner, associate professor of Environmental Sciences, Cullinane and the other students have been schooled in the art of casting and fly tying, the science of identifying insects and fish, and the ethics of watershed stewardship.
"What we're learning is really ecology through the window of fly-fishing," Cullinane says. "They're teaching us to fly-fish, but they're also teaching us to be stewards of the river."
In the five years Bodensteiner and summer session lecturer Steve Meyer have offered the class at Western, it has drawn students from majors throughout campus, Bodensteiner says. About half come from Huxley College of the Environment, and the junior-level course offers some important hands-on illustrations of scientific concepts like hydrology, watershed dynamics and aquatic food chains.
But Bodensteiner and Meyer aren't just looking for another way to teach scientific fundamentals.
"We're looking to make conservationists," Bodensteiner says. "If people don't take an interest in streams, (streams) just go away. We want them to love streams."
Historically, Bodensteiner says, fishers and hunters have been strong advocates for conservation. But as more people live in cities, fewer of us are spending time in the wilderness, he says.
Out of sight, out of mind, he worries.
"Even if you don't need the stream to provide fishing opportunities," Bodensteiner says, "you still need the stream."
Which is why the four-week course is big on science but just as big on lore. When students aren't listening to lectures on entomology, tying flies all the while, they're watching films like "A River Runs Through It" to tempt them with the romance and beauty of the sport.
Their final project is an oral report on a fly-fishing river, delivered around a campfire along the banks of the Upper Skagit, where the class winds up with a three-day fishing trip. Students learn about a river's ecology and history and what kinds of fish are found there.
By the end of the trip, Meyer says, students have learned about more than a dozen places waiting for them to explore with their fishing gear and new skills. He hopes it's as inspiring as showing a Warren Miller movie in October to a bunch of skiers and snowboarders.
Cullinane hopes the end of her fly-fishing class is really a beginning.
"I'm so hooked on this," she says, the orange fly-fishing line pooling at her feet. "I can see myself doing this for a lifetime."
Besides, she says, "I do want to catch a fish one day."

2011 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières, Domaine François Mikulski(6x75cl)
Concentrated, ripe and intriguingly complex on the nose. It releases a cocktail of tropical fruits among its toasted hazelnut and fresh bready aromas. It's full bodied too, filling the mouth with bags of melon and pineapple fruit with hints of bananas all underpinned with a stylish grapefruity acidity and a sumptuously silky finish.
