a) A fatuous, wasted, degenerate and wholly useless existence captured in delicate, lyrical and exquisitely realised prose.
b) Lightly amusing anecdotes and tender reminiscences of the great men and women encountered during a rich, varied and rewarding lifetime, fondly remembered in the tranquil evening of a career of public service.
c) The autobiography of a dizzying life fuelled by the lust for power and the search for ever more degrading downward paths of repulsive sexual adventuring and self-destructive debaucheries: the unrepentant libertine author seeks revenge on his many enemies and tears the lid off the private life of blameless churchmen and librarians.
Fry`s autobiography is all and none of these. Too old to rock and roll, too young to die, the author looks back with bruising frankness at his life so far.
©1997 Stephen Fry (P)1997 Random House Audio
"Stephen Fry is one of the great originals. This autobiography of his first twenty years is a pleasure to read, mixing outrageous acts with sensible opinions in bewildering confusion. That so much outward charm, self-awareness and intellect should exist alongside behaviour that threatened to ruin the lives of innocent victims, noble parents and Fry himself, gives the book a tragic grandeur and lifts it to classic status." (Financial Times)
"He writes superbly about his family, about his homosexuality, about the agonies of childhood - some of his bursts of smile take the breath away - his most satisfying and appealing book so far." (Observer)
"An Honest Account"
If you like Stephen Fry (and who doesn't) you'll like this auto-biographical account of Stephen's early years. It's an honest tale of childhood and teenage memories and Stephen talks openly about his upbringing and misconducts in a way that you don't expect to hear from such a public figure. And you can't help but respect him the more for it.
I looked forward to my commute each day simply to hear the next instalment of this clearly narrated book.
This book is also a tale of how, with enough determination, it is possible to turn your life around.
Highly Recommended.
"A great man with great weaknesses"
Fry has used this first autobiography to exorcise cohorts of personal demons while offering short guided tours into the dark labyrinth of a genius mind.
I found it both fascinating and disturbing, and like another reviewer could hardly bear to put it down.
Fry writes brilliantly for most of the time. Some of his descriptive passages take on a beauty of their own.
But prepare to ride along with Fry the fox, Fry the weasel, and Fry the most honest and open human being imaginable. Look as close as you might but there are few signs of the genial and donnish presenter of QI to come.
He takes the trend in many recent autobiographies of opening the heart to the world a good deal further. He lays his entrails on the table and dissects in excruciating detail with verbal tweezers, sparing us nothing.
There is a road map of sorts through his school days but prepare for him sometimes to stray off the track, creating turgid pools of quotes, lists and vile rants.
Understanding his well publicised battle with bi-polarity helps separate the parts written while in pits of despair from those soaring the peaks of creative ecstasy. On difficult days at his word processor I could feel him seeking inspiration in lists and details from treasured publications to fill his daily quota. I could also sense those ecstatic days where genius and supreme command of language and writing flowed effortlessly.
In this book expect a journey through guilt and self loathing. Expect too, some analysis of his sexuality, short dissertations on male beauty and begin to understand his yearnings to love and be loved.
Some passages might reasonably be described as essays in trivia in which he takes a subject and reduces it to its basic constituents, biting into it furiously from every direction and worrying it to death.
All that said, I loved the book and respect the man even more having got to understand him better, this time from the inside.
I can think of nothing better than listening to this author narrating a book about the events and perils of his early life. Frank, sometimes toe curling, often laugh out loud funny but never dull. Every fan of audiobooks should own this.
"A gripping account of Fry's Adolescence"
This is one of those books that just has to be read by the author to do it justice. Fry reads this book passionately and emotionally, naturally using the English language to it's best extent. Fry cuts through each sentence in a beautifully poetic way!
This is a incredibly honest and frank account of Fry's school days. Most memorable parts are his hatred of games (particularly swimming), his ongoing battles over his love of music, his first crush (which consumed him every second of the day), and his petty crimes which culminated in a Jail sentence.
A word of warning, Stephen's very fragrant use of words and detailed descriptions of his sexual emotions may offend!
I couldn't stop listening to this book and wish it wasn't all over!
Using audiobooks to make a long commute more interesting.
"Great Voice"
I bought this after Listening to Stephen Fry read the Harry Potter stories. He has a great and engaging voice which tells a story soooo well.
I found this autobiography very engaging, he was very honest and what an interesting life. Can be a little wordy/over indigent.
But a good audiobook - a well read engaging story.
"Ahhh Stephen Fry and his early days"
I highly recommend any Stephen Fry item to people as I think that he is an extraordinary man. This book just goes to prove it doesn't really matter how you are brought up, things in life will happen that are not under your control. Who would have thought that some of these things would have happened when you see Stephen on TV but he is such an interesting and intelligent man and to find out about the earlier part of his life before fame and fortune is extremely interesting showing that whatever happens in life you can over come and decide to live. I definitely recommend this book to fans of Stephen Fry and fans on biographies in general. With his high intelligence and wit he regularly brings a smile to your face while listening to the man himself talk about childhood and early adolescence and what triumphs and tragedies occurred.
"Simply Outstanding"
This audiobook is another Fry stunner! Not only does Fry write with a lay it on the line honesty, his use of accents and his own luxurious voice make for a wholly immersive listening experience.
I wish this book was triple the length, I want more!
"A Laugh, Cry and Cringe a minute book"
This is a triumph of a book, as most of Master Fry's are to be fair. As he says himself, his life is only as interesting or not as the next persons, but what brings this book to life is the wonderful language skills and honest self analysis which is exquisitely put into prose by a man who clearly has a love of words.
You will discover a man who has had his shares of up and downs, who has had, in the opinion of many including himself, no viable reason to do some of the less favourable things he did in childhood, and I suspect beyond, and a man who is, even now, analysing and punishing himself, and trying to balance the books of the lower ebbs of his adolescent years. You will also discover, although you already knew it, even if you may have forgotten, how low down mean children can be to one another, not deliberately, but carelessly and without giving a thought to it.
You and I could write our autobiographies and the books would probably be shorter and not a very good read, even though we may have had even higher peaks and lower troughs. What makes the difference here is his excellent memory, and his wish to be as analytical and honest as possible. I laughed, cried and cringed in equal proportions and I hope you do too.
"A National Treasure"
This is a frank, even graphic account of the formative years of a national treasure. Covering the first twenty years of his life; Fry records his experiences of childhood, school, dishonesty, criminality and confectionery. As other reviewers have said, this novel is candid to the extreme. It is remarkable that the man we know today emerged from the child protagonist in this book.
"Fry forever"
Absolutely loved this book. A riveting story about the growing up of a great man. It is interesting to hear about whilst knowing about Stephens bi polar.
Brilliant title - look up what it means halfway through listening to the book - it will make the perfect sense why it is called it

In the historic and charming Garnier building of Olvera Street in Los Angeles, you can find the spirit of Chinese America. The Chinese American Museum (CAM) is currently showcasing Hollywood Chinese: The Arthur Dong Collection. A pioneering exhibition of cinema memorabilia collected during the 10-year research for Arthur Dong's documentary, the exhibit is simply riveting and refreshing. From the filmmaker's archive of more than 1,000 items, film posters, movie stills, scripts, press material and other artifacts dating from 1916 to present day, the exhibit showcases the historical depictions of the Chinese in 20th century Hollywood.
The building in itself is an artifact. Sold to Chinese American merchants in the 1890s, the building was kept in the community for decades. Surviving archives of pioneer Chinese American filmmakers, rare production photos from The Curse of Quon Gwon (1916), as well as the first Oscar won by Chinese American, James Wong Howe (The Rose Tattoo) are on display. Films such as The Good Earth, The Vengeance of Fu Manchu, and (my favorite) Flower Drum Song ultimately bring the project to life. Moreover, the exhibit tells the story of how cinema exploited the Chinatown mystique.
If you find yourself twiddling your thumbs wondering what to do this weekend, hop on over to CAM. Tickets are inexpensive and you can visit the marketplace on Olvera Street after you're done! This humble museum will surely make you appreciate the labors of love of our past and the progress of Asian Americans. And if you happen to get lost, just follow the hanging red lanterns!
Find out more at www.camla.org.
See you there!

This BSU Student Handbook is a guide to student's rights, responsibilities and resources.
These definitions are not intended to represent the legal definitions of these acts. Instead, they are guidelines that are meant to clarify some of the ambiguity of the legal definitions and to educate students to help them make safe decisions.
Rape: Nonconsensual sexual intercourse, whether vaginal, oral or anal. Using intimidation, threats or physical force to accomplish intercourse is rape. Penetration of the vagina, mouth or anus is necessary to call the act rape, but emission is not necessary. Penile penetration or penetration with any digit (finger) or foreign object is also considered rape.
Acquaintance Rape: Nonconsensual sexual intercourse threats, or vaginal, oral or anal between two adults who know each other. Intimidation and physical force used to accomplish intercourse is rape. Penetration of the vagina, mouth or anus is necessary to call the act rape, but emission is not necessary. Penile penetration or penetration with any digit or foreign object is also considered rape.
Consent (involving alcohol): If a person engages in sexual intercourse with another person when she/he knows that person is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, she/he may also be guilty of rape. In this situation, sexual intercourse is considered to be against the person's will if they cannot use their judgment. Even if the person remains conscious, if she/he is under the influence of alcohol or drugs and does not object, sexual intercourse may be considered rape because their ability to resist or consent has been taken away by the use of alcohol or other drugs.
Intoxication as a Defense: Intoxication cannot be used as a defense, as an excuse or as a justification for the charge of rape.
Statutory Rape: Sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 16. Consent and/or reasonable mistake as to the identity of the victim are not considered defenses to this crime. Because of the age of the victim, the law presupposes that she/he is not able to consent and her/his consent will not absolve the defendant.
Sexual Assault: If a person touches another individual in a sexual manner (making sexual contact) and the touching is offensive to that person, sexual assault has been committed.
Assault: When someone's behavior towards a specific person causes that person to be afraid, even when contact is not made, they may have committed assault. This may include verbal threatening or intimidation of any nature.
Sexual Harassment: Unwanted sexual advances, requests for favors and other verbal or physical contact of a sexual nature which makes the person uncomfortable or intimidated is sexual harassment. This is particularly true where the person making the demand is a supervisor or the teacher and requires sexual favors in exchange for special treatment, promotions or good grades. It can also be true with coworkers, or fellow students who say sexually suggestive things or touch people inappropriately, creating what can be described as a hostile environment.

I Would Walk 500 Miles

Congrats on 500 miles!
I loved the video...haven't heard that song in a long time. - December 15, 2011 at 7:17 AM
- Bonnie Rae said...
Congrats on 500!
- December 15, 2011 at 7:24 AM
- Madeline Mora-Summonte said...
Wow! Congratulations Julie (and Clancy!) :)
And good for you, too, for recognizing all that you already accomplished, in general and in writing. It's so easy to get caught up in what we didn't do (waves hand guiltily...) Thanks for the reminder to not just/only look ahead but to also look around and be happy and grateful. :) - December 15, 2011 at 7:40 AM
- Summer Ross said...
Congrats on the 500 miles and I wish you luck on your new writing goal.
- December 15, 2011 at 8:55 AM
- L.G.Smith said...
I heard that song the other day on the radio and couldn't help singing along. You realize the lyrics say, "I would walk five hundred miles and I would walk five hundred MORE." LOL.
Congrats to you and Clancy. I'll bet you've already gone through a good pair of walking shoes. :) - December 15, 2011 at 8:56 AM
- Hilary Melton-Butcher said...
Hi Julie and Clancy - let's not forget thee, Clancy of the four leg fame ... congratulations .. it is mind over matter isn't it ..
Enjoy your achievements now .. and then 2012 you can move along a little more ..
Cheers and lots of luck in 2012 .. Hilary - December 15, 2011 at 9:55 AM
- Julie said...
@Carol, thanks! I know, this video was like a blast from the past. :)
@Bonnie Rae, thank you!
@Madeline, thanks so much!
@Summer, thank you, I really appreciate it!
@LG, yeah, yeah, I was ignoring the 500 more bit ha ha. :D I do need new shoes, I think I will add those to my Christmas list. - December 15, 2011 at 10:00 AM
- Julie said...
@Hilary, ha ha, I'm laughing about Clancy of the four leg fame, too cute. Thanks so much, and cheers to you in 2012 as well! :)
- December 15, 2011 at 10:01 AM
- Kara Muller said...
Congratulations, Julie! If you keep taking those steps towards your dream, I'm sure you'll be there before you know it!

That 500 miles is a big accomplishment. I need to do something like that.
- December 15, 2011 at 12:38 PM
- Arlee Bird said...
I love Toronto--it seems like a very nice city and I've always enjoyed my visits there.
500 miles is a great accomplishment! Good for you.
See you at Deja Vu.

Well done! I guess Clancy walked twice as far seeing he's got twice as many legs! :)
- December 15, 2011 at 1:17 PM
- Susan Flett Swiderski said...
Congratulations on surpassing your goal of 500 miles! Lots of people claim to be chasing after a goal, but you totally CAUGHT it! And I have no doubt you'll conquer your writing goals, too. One step at a time, one word at a time.
- December 15, 2011 at 1:27 PM
- M Pax said...
Yea! On 500 miles. That's fantastic.
Some days it is harder to get my mind focused than others. Then it seems every time I find momentum, something swoops in to stop it. Like the holidays.
We all need some down time to refuel. Maybe schedule that in, too. It is time well spent. - December 15, 2011 at 1:36 PM
- Julie said...
@Kara, I sure hope so, thank you!
@Amber, thanks! And I'm glad you liked the video.
@Patricia, it's been great for me to stay motivated with exercising. Thanks!
@Lee, I loved Toronto too, some day I'll make it back. Thanks and see you tomorrow. :)
@Carolyn, thanks! LOL, that's a good point, Clancy can say he made it the additional 500 miles. :D
@Susan, that's so nice of you to say, thanks for the encouragement!
@Mary, thanks! I know what you mean about the holidays, it's hard to stay focused with all the distractions of this time of the year. - December 15, 2011 at 1:40 PM
- welcome to my world of poetry said...
Congrats on the 500. I loved the song...always have. I was in Toronto in May this year, a lovely city.
Have a good day.
Yvonne. - December 15, 2011 at 3:02 PM
- Tara Tyler said...
way to overstep your goal!
here's to you & clancy! - December 15, 2011 at 3:38 PM
- Janel said...
Oh my, Julie - 500 miles!! That's a great accomplishment. I think all of us get distracted from our writing at this time of year. Just another reason to look forward to the new year. :)
- December 15, 2011 at 5:40 PM
- Shannon Lawrence said...
Congratulations on what you've achieved, and good luck on your goals! I know you can reach 600 next year.
- December 15, 2011 at 10:58 PM
- LynnMarie said...
600 miles will be easy to reach. I have faith in you. I too let other things get in the way of writing. It's easy to get caught up in a movie, or talking on the phone or doing nothing at all. I did it a lot this year. I have to get my self going on my writing as well
- December 16, 2011 at 2:00 AM
- Jules said...
Congrats on the 500 and may the next year bring nothing but hard grit determination in your writing.
See you at Deja Vu. :)
Jules @ Trying To Get Over The Rainbow - December 16, 2011 at 5:24 AM
- Julie said...
@Yvonne, it's such a catchy song, isn't it? I hope I can visit Toronto again sometime soon, I thought it was a great city. Thank you!
@Tara, thanks!! And Clancy says thanks too. :D
@Janel, thank you! That's a good point, I think I will be able to focus better once the holidays are over. I hope so anyway!
@Shannon, thanks!!
@Lynn Marie, thank you, I really appreciate it. That's exactly what I do, I can always find something else to get caught up in. Here's to changing that next year. :)
@Jules, thanks, here's hoping! Looking forward to your Deja Vu post. :) - December 16, 2011 at 5:37 AM
- Julie Hedlund said...
Congratulations - huge achievement (and I love that song! :-))
I actually did have to remove my safety net in order to fully dive into my writing. Although it wasn't a full-on leap, since my husband has a job. But I did quit my own stable, well-paying job. Two years later, my kids are both in school and things seem to be gelling at last. It takes a while - so much learning, networking, and oh yeah, writing! :-) - December 16, 2011 at 11:06 AM
- Julie said...
@Julie, thank you! And thanks for sharing your experience, I'm glad things are working for you and starting to gel. I do think at some point I will have to take that leap of faith.

Go to Mystic Falls, VA.
Rather than having a set plot line, I thought it might be fun to build the story together.
I have already posted a starter in the IC, and when your character is accepted you may go and post.
We don't have to go strictly by the show, so don't feel like you're bound by anything that's happened.
If you don't like this idea, feel free to let me know and I'll come up with a plot and post it for you all.
1. Grammar and Punctuation.
I promise I'm not going to jump down your throat over misspelling a word or two or forgetting a comma, but please don't use text speech or abbreviations in your posts.
2. Post Minimum: One Paragraph.
I understand that sometimes it might be hard to come up with a huge post, but at least give your fellow RPers something to respond to.
3. Post Frequently.
We all have lives. School, work, family, friends, etc. - I get it. But please try to keep up with your character, or the RP won't live.
If you disappear for more than two weeks without letting anybody know that you won't be around, your character will be kicked.
If you have a character from the show, your character will be open for somebody else to take over; if you have an OC, your character will simply be deleted.
4. Parties and Events!
There are always a ton of parties and events in Mystic Falls, so the RP will follow suit and have them as well! Any character is allowed to plan and post an event of their own, so don't be shy.
The first event is attached. Regarding the 'Day 5' part of it. It's not meaning literal days, but days in the RP. Naturally, we start on Day 1, and when we've reached Day 5 there is an event. So if somebody wants to post an event, all you have to do is tell us what day the event will be taking place, where, and what's going on (dance, birthday party, etc.).
5. Leave the drama in the show and RP. Let's all have fun with this.

as you can see, this is one of the most credible and knowledgable forums to date.
of course we know the netherlands followed by albania are the largest importers/exporters of marijuana in europe but it seems calabria dominates even this trade in the world now.
it also cuts out the colombians in colombia and the taliban and other militant organizations in afghanistan for their own drugs. who would have thought!?

Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.
Tao te Ching
Misery is a cruel but faithful lover.
The most popular addiction in the 21st century seems to be not drugs or alcohol but good old fashioned despair. People cling to their misery like a worn but beloved security blanket. They take pills and spend endless hours on therapeutic couches in a vain attempt to kill the beast, but turn around and sneak him treats between the bars at every opportunity. Feed the beast, for if he leaves you, you might truly find yourself alone! cries the Voice. The most creative minds in history kept him as a pet. He makes you special. He is your destiny. Be secretly proud he has chosen you.
Each of us has a Voice we listen to. The Voice is a mélange of all the lessons we learned in childhood, the realities we created to make sense of the world. The Voice is our deepest Truth, and we filter everything we see and hear through its endless advice. The Voice is our perception of the universe.
The bad thing is that the Voice lies. A lot. And the greatest secret is that the Voice belongs entirely to us, and we can change its message at any time.
Most people are so used to this constant companion that we no longer hear the whispers. Or if we do, we believe that this is the expression of intuition, or the gentle guidance of god, or simply axiomatic common sense. It never occurs to us that what goes on in our own minds is within our control. It can be guided. It can be changed.
Another secret: everything goes on in our own minds. All of it. Every dot and tiddle, every thought and feeling, every little thing we experience. It's all in our heads. Where else could it be?
The world around us may not be within our control, but how we perceive it, taste it, judge it, understand it? That is entirely our domain. You are god of your own understanding. Scary thought, no? If you have that much power, victimhood loses some of its sparkle. If we are merely players, strutting and fretting through our own self-written dialog, "woe is me" starts to look rather banal and flat. It's safer to believe in the clockwinder, or in destiny. Besides, who wants to play Pollyanna when Ophelia gets so much more applause?
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate," says Marianne Williamson. "Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most."
And so we protect ourselves from this knowledge. Inside us is a series of filters, like glass windows through which we see reality. They are the speakers of the Voice. They are our truths. They are the things we believe about ourselves and the universe. They are our moral compass. Their Voice whispers through them as we walk through our world. The chatter drowns out everything else. We listen and we obey.
We're so accustomed to these filters that we fail to notice how smudged and dark they have become. These filters were often put in place as childhood survival mechanisms, and we don't always recognize that what saw us through the darkest hours of our most vulnerable years becomes a hindrance in adulthood. If we could remove these filters and see the world as it is, I believe we would spend most of our lives laughing at the simple beauty and the beautiful simplicity of it all. On the other side of that glass is the silent, voiceless song of joy. No wonder people are terrified. Joyful people are rarely tragic heroes. They're so… pedestrian. And so we cling, and look through a glass darkly.
"Life is shit!" we cry. "Nothing good ever happens."
While it would seem intuitively obvious that all of us would want to clear the feces from our eyes, it seems that shit is addictive. Anything that threatens the reality of our filters is quickly rejected as heresy. We press our faces to these cloudy windows, protecting them from harm. If you've ever had a friend with a perception problem that was antagonizing them, you've probably already seen this phenomenon. No matter how gently you try to lead them to a place of personal power, they fight to stay in their safety zone. When asked to explain their thoughts and feelings, they spout of a series of maxims until they eventually reach a place where there are no more defenses and truth gets shaky. At that point you can count on a well-timed subject shift or the last resort of the specious: "That may be true for YOU, but that doesn't work for me. We're all unique, you know." Then they reach for a vodka tonic or a pill, or put on their sad music or write tragic poetry. Anything that highlights the crystalline beauty of their own melancholy. Feed the beast. Gotta keep him fat and happy.
When in this situation, all I can do is throw up my hands and simply hope that there is a new, tiny crack in their perception, maybe even big enough to let in the light of their own personal power. Besides, who am I to lead anyone through the dark night? I carry my own filters with me. We all do. Until I stand in the full glory of my own godhood I doubt my ability to guide anyone else through the murky forests of false victimhood.
And so I work on the beam in my own eye. I watch for patterns. I use my emotions, not as a thermometer that measures "good" or "bad" in the world, but as a legend indicating how I've painted truth. Things that frequently irritate me are a sign screaming "Here there be dragons!" An immediate dislike of another person usually points to something inside myself I don't want to see. A blue note in the song of the world? Why did I play it so? If I'm not happy, then it's time to redefine happiness and the path to getting there. As each filter falls, I step around the broken glass, smile at the new colors around me, and keep an eye out for the next shimmering wall. Sounds too simple? The greatest truths usually are.
I've tried to share some of this Truth with my daughter. She thinks I'm insane. She's still in the school that proclaims "we are who we are." You can't change your mind like you change your nail polish! "I can't change my BRAIN!" she yells.
Of course, she's only 17. I figure I've laid a foundation, and the first time she shifts perception on her own, the light bulb might click on. I hope she doesn't spend too many years locked in her own prison before discovering her fantastic leverage on reality. I know I did.
Archimedes was wrong. The lever that can move the world is smaller than a flash of insight. A moment's epiphany can kill the beast and silence his Voice.


text:
I guess it is the right decision, though it would have been much better done about 8 months or so ago. It is a concern that they're trying to change course at this point in the season. My hope (which is something I don't know about) is that there are lots of good plays in the book that Cameron just wasn't using but will now be worked into the plan. It just seems like trying to come up with new plays at this point could be problematic.
I sure would like to see the reshuffling of the OL that people have been calling for. As regrettable as Cam's play calling was, I still believe the major problem is the offensive line in both pass protection and run blocking. Failing that, I hope they focus on quicker developing plays and misdirections that will keep opponents' out of our backfield a bit longer.

Great Cutting Device

About Me Advanced
Best Uses
Comments about Aqua EEZYCUT Trilobite with Harness Mount:
In testing it against various lines, it is very sharp. It is simple and easy to hold, although it may be hard to get back in the holster after using it with thick gloves. Overall, it should be very effective against nets and small lines.

Great cutter- A must have.
By Tom
from Sacramento
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Have been looking for a good 'cutter' (aside from a knive), and watched the EEZYCUT Trilobite in action on YouTube. My master instructor carries one, so I ordered from LeisurePro. I've tried it out on various types of material that would most commonly be encountered and it's much better/safer than a knife. It is easy to 'unholster', but if you dive with thick gloves, it might help to add a ring to the handle tether. The EEZYCUT Trilobite also comes with two additional blade. I can't imagine not having one (now that I have it).

Hi SK,
thanks for your post :)
I did all the steps one by one but I got error 500, also I disable the selinux,and iptabels
In addition I cannot success to get the cacti in localhost.
Any idea?
I have been searching for a solution to that problem too but with videos. I can't see anyway to make VLC do this. And nobody can tell me how.
However, I did find a media player called Movist that does it. I will never understand why VLC, the best in my opinion, does not design this feature into their player.
it can be used to talk or chat through the internet,
it is using strong encryption.
but for example TOR is using some obfuscation because some countrys try to block all outgoing connections which can not be scanned with DPI
And the TOR Project is facing an arms race in obfuscation and encryption detection.

After spying his first electronic bike while teaching in China, owner Garnet Caldwell vowed to bring the unique and potentially revolutionary vehicles to his hometown. He told the Times Free Press, "These bikes are for people who just want to get out and ride," explaining that they can go about 20 miles before needing to be charged and, like a championship racewalker, can reach speeds of up to 20 miles per hour.
The bikes, available at the shop for rental or sale, come in all sizes and run off a battery that is recharged via a traditional wall outlet. Chattanooga Electric Bikes caries models from Ezip, Izip, Liberty, and Pedego, as well as conversion kits to help traditional two-wheelers to make the jump to electric. Certified technicians ensure bikes are held to the highest safety standards and don't become sentient, and they can service any brand of electric bicycle.
Native-born Chattanoogans Carlton Thomas and Ginnie Harris infuse their walking tours with insights into their city's cultural and architectural history. The pair's tours hone in on downtown and riverfront locales that have made their impressions on the city throughout its history. As small groups gather, Carlton and Ginnie may take them strolling past the world's first Coca-Cola bottling plant and the Carnegie library, or they may engage in long-distance staring contests with tugboat captains while crossing one of the world's longest bridges on foot. Tours depart through the evening hours, giving groups the chance to snag photos of the sun as it sinks beneath Lookout Mountain.
As the aerial concierge behind Fly This, Erik Graper accompanies patrons through the air aboard his powered hang-gliding trike. Erik boasts pilot certifications from the FAA and USHPA, as well as a 10-year flying career that includes more than 10,000 flights without an accident or taking a wrong turn into an interdimensional wormhole. He introduces novices to the sport during discovery flights that soar to as high as 2,000 feet and coaches more seasoned pilots through advanced training and instructional flights. Each excursion takes off from Nickajack Lake and circles the airspace high above it, affording passengers rare views of the Tennessee River Gorge.
If Ghost Hunter Chattanooga's paranormal investigators know the meaning of fear, they don't show it. In any case, their curiosity overrides the bone-chilling sensation they regularly experience while untangling the secrets of the afterlife. They share this curiosity with small groups on ghost-hunting tours that venture into the shadows of Chattanooga's most fertile haunting grounds. During these nightly explorations, they employ an arsenal of advanced equipment—including EMF meters, infrared-temperature guns, and Ovilus X talk boxes—to tell genuine poltergeists apart from Old Man Witherses running around in bed sheets.
When Franklin On Foot founder and guide Margie Thessin discusses the Civil War's impact on Franklin, she shuns dry textbook summaries. Instead, she gathers groups before historic homes and battle sites, and she explains, "The war happened here. The people who lived here– this war was their 9/11. This was their Pearl Harbor." Suddenly, she sees sets of eyes light up, as minds make the leap from musty tomes and texts to the people who lived¬—and fought and died—where they now stand 150 years ago.
To make history relevant, Ms. Thessin humanizes it, honing in on the famous and lesser-known people who shaped Franklin and the struggles they faced to do so. In that spirit, she seeks out guides who are not only passionate about history but possess a natural knack for storytelling.
In keeping with her commitment to orchestrate vivid tours, Ms. Thessin conducts them by bike or on foot. "You get so much from a place by walking it instead of looking out a window of a bus—you may as well fly at 32,000 feet," she says. Small groups of sightseers stroll or if preferred, Charleston across the downtown area or expand their tour's scope by cruising on one of Franklin On Foot's 24-speed Fuji bikes.
When surveyor Aaron Higgenbotham discovered Cumberland Caverns in 1810, he couldn't see its majestic pillars of dripping rock, its flowstone curtains, or its subterranean waterfalls. Stuck on a small ledge in the dark, Higgenbotham was as blind to the cave system's features—one of them a 2,000-foot-long cavern hall—as the eyeless crayfish that live there. His initial discovery nevertheless paved the way for nearly 200 years of speleological findings. Today, guides preserve this 32-mile National Landmark cavern by leading daily tours through its passages.
During tours, guides point out artifacts left by pre Civil War–era saltpeter mines, tunnels filled with rare gypsum deposits, and mysterious inscriptions reading "Shelah Waters - 1869" and "Millard Fillmore + Stacy." They lead guests among stalagmites and stalactites to a sound-and-light show that dramatically retells Bible stories, or into a domed hall that houses a hand-cut crystal chandelier rescued from a historic Brooklyn theater. It's in this last space that staffers organize banquets, weddings, and monthly live bluegrass concerts, or hold burial services for broken fax machines. They also lead visitors through the tight passageways of lesser-seen cavern segments during daytime or overnight spelunking trips.

Live music w/ DRUNK HORSE ~ HOT LUNCH ~ CARLTON MELTON (ROCK)
When: Sat, February 12
Time: 9pm
Cost: $8
Drunk Horse (on Tee Pee Records) – Headliner
Drunk Horse emphasizes the interpenetration of what are usually called "mind" and "body". According to this idea, people's deeply-held thoughts make them ill or at least create the preconditions for disease and psychological problems. We work to remove deeply held resentments, to release unexpressed emotions, to assuage buried terror (all of which, in this view, are caused by deeply held thoughts), in order to build self-confidence and to plant in people a positive and hopeful view of their path through life. ..
Hot Lunch
FOLLOWING the sudden implosion of Parchman Farm, singer Eric Shea knew that he had only two options; start a Firefall tribute band named High On Firefall or build a heavy punk 'n' roll quartet by sandwiching members from his favorite San Francisco bands. Following his gut, he pursued the sandwich. [facebook]
Carlton Melton (new split release 12″ on Mid-to-Late Records)
The band CARLTON MELTON formed along the Mendocino County coastline in Northern California on the weekend of July 17th, 2008. The idea to play live, loud, improvised, experimental, instrumental, psychedelic music in a geodesic dome had been discussed for many years prior to this date. The opportunity came to fruition after the dome was completely rebuilt and the acoustic sounds inside were fully realized.

Civil rights lawyers: NYPD spying violates rules
ABOVE PHOTO: In this Aug. 18, 2011 file photo, people walk below a New York Police Department security camera, upper left, which was placed next to a mosque on Fulton Street in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant in New York. Civil rights lawyers are telling a judge that the New York Police Department's surveillance of Muslim communities violates federal guidelines established to stop the NYPD from conducting political surveillance.
(AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews, File)
By Eileen Sullivan
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The New York Police Department's focus on Muslims has renewed the political surveillance of the 1960s and '70s that was banned under a landmark legal ruling, according to a new court filing by civil rights lawyers. They are seeking an injunction against further surveillance of Muslims without evidence of crimes and a new court-appointed auditor to oversee police activities.
Describing continuing surveillance of Muslims as "widespread and intense," the civil rights lawyers complained that the NYPD has monitored public places where Muslims eat, shop and worship and has kept records and notes about police observations despite any evidence of unlawful or terror-related activities. The lawyers said the NYPD's actions violate rules, known as the Handschu guidelines, that a court had imposed as part of a 1985 landmark settlement with the NYPD to a lawsuit they filed.
"There is substantial persuasive evidence that the defendants are conducting investigations into organizations and individuals associated with the Muslim faith and the Muslim community in New York, and have been doing so for years, using intrusive methods, without a reasonable indication of unlawful activity, or a criminal predicate of any sort," the lawyers wrote in a motion filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. They said the NYPD's actions were so "flagrant and persistent" that an auditor should be appointed.
A spokesman for the NYPD did not respond to a phone message and email request for comment from The Associated Press.
The NYPD and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg have said the department follows the Handschu guidelines and did not break any laws over the course of its surveillance of Muslim communities. NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly has said the department has plenty of oversight, including five district attorneys, a committee that investigates police corruption, the NYPD's own internal affairs office and the court-imposed Handschu guidelines.
The spying was the subject of a series of stories by the AP that revealed the NYPD intelligence division infiltrated dozens of mosques and Muslim student groups and investigated hundreds. The NYPD is the largest police department in the nation, and Bloomberg has held up its counterterrorism tactics as a model for the rest of the country. The new court motion by the civil rights lawyers refers repeatedly to the AP's reporting and includes some internal NYPD documents the AP had obtained and published.
The motion focuses on a particular section of the NYPD's intelligence division known initially as the Demographics Unit and later renamed the Zone Assessment Unit. This unit is at the heart of the NYPD's spying program, built with help from the CIA. It assembled databases on where Muslims lived, shopped, worked and prayed. Police infiltrated Muslim student groups, put informants in mosques, monitored sermons and catalogued every Muslim in New York who adopted new, Americanized surnames.
Supporters said the Demographics Unit was central to keeping the city safe, though a senior NYPD official testified last year that the unit never generated any leads or triggered a terrorism investigation.
The Handschu guidelines came out of landmark lawsuit the lawyers filed and a subsequent 1985 court settlement that set strict time limits for investigations, imposed rules on the kinds of records police could keep and created a three-person body to oversee such investigations.
The last time civil rights lawyers in the Handshu case filed a motion like this was in November 2005. It was not immediately clear when the judge will make a ruling on the new motion.

Ken Follett follows up his #1 New York Times bestseller Fall of Giants with a brilliant, page-turning epic about the heroism and honor of World War II, and the dawn of the atomic age.
Ken Follett's Fall of Giants, the first novel in his extraordinary new historical epic, The Century Trilogy, was an international sensation, acclaimed as "sweeping and fascinating, a book that will consume you for days or weeks" (USA Today) and "grippingly told and readable to the end" (The New York Times Book Review). "If the next two volumes are as lively and entertaining as Fall of Giants," said The Washington Post, "they should be well worth waiting for."
Winter of the World picks up right where the first book left off, as its five interrelated families—American, German, Russian, English, Welsh—enter a time of enormous social, political, and economic turmoil, beginning with the rise of the Third Reich, through the Spanish Civil War and the great dramas of World War II, up to the explosions of the American and Soviet atomic bombs.
Carla von Ulrich, born of German and English parents, finds her life engulfed by the Nazi tide until she commits a deed of great courage and heartbreak. . . . American brothers Woody and Chuck Dewar, each with a secret, take separate paths to momentous events, one in Washington, the other in the bloody jungles of the Pacific. . . . English student Lloyd Williams discovers in the crucible of the Spanish Civil War that he must fight Communism just as hard as Fascism. . . . Daisy Peshkov, a driven American social climber, cares only for popularity and the fast set, until the war transforms her life, not just once but twice, while her cousin Volodya carves out a position in Soviet intelligence that will affect not only this war—but the war to come.
These characters and many others find their lives inextricably entangled as their experiences illuminate the cataclysms that marked the century. From the drawing rooms of the rich to the blood and smoke of battle, their lives intertwine, propelling the reader into dramas of ever-increasing complexity.
As always with Ken Follett, the historical background is brilliantly researched and rendered, the action fast-moving, the characters rich in nuance and emotion. With passion and the hand of a master, he brings us into a world we thought we knew, but now will never seem the same again.
Author: Ken Follett

APRU Special Screening: The Truth is Out There
Tuesday 1st May 2012, 3pm. In LG01, New Academic Building, Goldsmiths, University of London.
Hosted by the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit
We have arranged a screening of the film, "The Truth is Out There" with an introduction and Q&A session from the film's Director and Co-Executive Producer, Phil Leirness. This will take place in LG01, New Academic Building, Goldsmiths (see College web site for maps, directions, etc.). The event is free and open to the public and promises to provide an insight into the thinking behind conspiracy theories. Whatever your views on the latter, I think this film looks like it will be entertaining and informative. You can get a taster here or below.
Dean Haglund is an actor, an improv comic, an artist and an inventor. Best known by millions of fans the world over for playing one of the computer-hacking Lone Gunmen on The X-Files and their own spin-off series, Dean has become closely identified with the realm of the paranormal and the world of conspiracy. He has even found himself at the center of a conspiracy theory surrounding the events of 9/11. Equal parts comedy, consciousness and conspiracy, The Trugh is Out There follows Dean Haglund as he travels the globe, using his "insider" status to interview conspiracy theorists, researchers, authors, journalists, New Age devotees, scientists and artists.
Do ghosts exist? What are UFOs? Is there a government cover-up concealing the existence of extra-terrestrials? Is there an effort underway to establish a New World Order controlled by the banks or the U.N.? Is the industrialization of our food and water supply not only responsible for the erosion of our health, but is it part of a plan put into place by the world's elitists to eradicate a large percentage of the world's population? What really happened on 9/11? Why does proven technology that could change the world and improve our lives not receive mainstream media or corporate attention? Is there a 'spiritual' dimension that humans can learn how to tap into? Dean will listen and learn while discussing all of these topics and more, hoping to discover what it means to search for the truth in a world where conspiracies, or conspiracy theories, are everywhere.
About Phil Leirness:
Phil Leirness, the Director, Cinematographer, Editor and Co-Executive Producer of The Truth is Out There, will be attending the screening to introduce his film and to participate in a post-screening discussion. Based in Los Angeles, Phil has directed six feature films, more than forty documentary short subjects, and several music videos and commercials. In addition, he has worked as both a development and acquisitions executive, and as managing director for a consortium of Europe-based film distribution companies. He is a California state certified violence prevention specialist, and for almost five years, has co-hosted the free weekly podcast Chillpak Hollywood Hour with Dean Haglund. He can also be heard as a regular contributor to Combat Radio and as a weekly cultural correspondent to The Midweek Drive on Siren 107.3 FM in the UK (as well as on Southside Broadcasting).

3. | whatever floats your boat | ||
A term used to say, "I'm glad that makes you happy, even though I don't get it myself."
Comes from the term "man in the boat" referring to the clitoris and the female genitalia. So, if your boat is floating, you are quite happy. 1: I love eating pigs feet, they sure are tasty.
2: That sounds nasty, but hey, whatever floats your boat. |
1. | whatever floats your boat | ||
This is a phrase that often means whatever "soothes your soul" or whatever "works best" Aka- Whatever you feel like doing. So Amir what do you feel like doing tonight? Whatever floats your boat man.
This DDR song is really floating my boat. |
2. | whatever floats your boat | ||
Your view is different then mine so I am going to tease you in a sarcastic way Tom: I love going for long walks on Sundays, they make me feel so close to nature!
Tim: Riight... well whatever floats your boat man. |
4. | whatever floats your boat | ||
This means whatever turns you on, interests you, suits you, something you like, your preference or choice e.g. Q. 'Would you like to go skiing?' A. 'Whatever floats your boat' (your choice or preference)
e.g. Statement 'I prefer boys to girls'; Response 'I just like girls but whatever floats your boat is fine with me'. |
5. | whatever floats your boat | ||
(Idiom) What you do is your choice You can go for the hot chick, or you can try and get a new car from that fat chick by eating her out, whatever floats your boat.
6. | whatever floats your boat | ||
thats what floats my boat at least. also used as an expression which means "you can do whatever your preference is." i dont see how that has anything to do with water, though... Jeremy:Hey Chad want to go to Mcdonalds or Taco Bell across the street?
Chad:Whatever floats your boat. Jeremy:uh, water?... Chad:no, asshat.its an expression. |
7. | whatever floats your boat | ||
A conspicuously dirty-sounding but for the most part undefinable sex slur that can mean mosltly anything, as long as it has to do with sex. John: God, she (that fugly hobag over there)'s gorgeous, I'd do her in a second.
Max: Whatever floats your boat. |

Have you been Misdiagnosed? Come see Dr. Steenblock
Have you ever wondered how often doctors misdiagnose? One on-line report that delves in to this is titled "How Common is Misdiagnosis?" and appears on WrongDiagnosis.Com. Here is one salient portion from that insightful piece:
The National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF) commissioned a phone survey in 1997 to review patient opinions about medical mistakes. Of the people reporting a medical mistake (42%), 40% reported a "misdiagnosis or treatment error", but did not separate misdiagnosis from treatment errors. Respondents also reported that their doctor failed to make an adequate diagnosis in 9% of cases, and 8% of people cited misdiagnosis as a primary causal factor in the medical mistake. Loosely interpreting these facts gives a range of 8% to 42% rate for misdiagnoses.
I'm not here to knock doctors for being fallible. It is, after all, a "universal affliction" among our species. Of course, the consequences of physician misdiagnoses exact a toll in the sense of wrong treatments implemented and right treatments delayed or never done. Some on the receiving end of wrong diagnoses no doubt suffer terribly due to being misdiagnosed and I'm sure some wind up prematurely deceased. And while new and better diagnostic tests, equipment and software promise to help drive the rate of misdiagnosis steadily downward, it is doubtful that this will totally eliminate it. After all, making a diagnosis requires not just test results, but their interpretation by a skilled physician who draws on his education, experience and professional judgment.
To my way of thinking, one sure way for a doctor to set a course to becoming a first rate diagnostician is to spend the early part of his career in pathology, which is a medical specialty devoted to the study and diagnosis of disease. USC's Keck School of Medicine Department of Pathology website puts it this way: 'Pathology is a medical specialty that provides the scientific foundation for all medical practice. The pathologist works with each of the clinical specialties, using the tools of laboratory medicine to provide information essential to problem solving in clinical practice. As such, the pathologist is the "doctors' doctor."'
One physician who actually became a pathologist before venturing into medical practice was none other than this blog sites' namesake and focus, Dr. David A. Steenblock.
Not surprisingly, Dr. Steenblock has an impressive track record of not just making correct medical diagnoses, but also in readily spotting misdiagnoses. As a result he has saved many patients from wasting their time and resources treating the wrong problem. I have, in fact, talked with more than a few folks who had Dr. Steenblock go through their medical records and zero in on telltale test or scan results that overturned the diagnosis they had been given, which set the stage for their being properly diagnosed and then successfully treated.
If you have been handed a diagnosis you question, take your case to a first rate diagnostician for a proverbial second opinion. If you'd like to retain Dr. Steenblock for this purpose, he is more than willing and able to lend a helping hand. To learn more visit his website or just pick up the phone and call toll free 1-800-300-1063 . And just to "sweeten the pot" as we say in my native state of Texas, Dr. Steenblock is offering consultations today!
