40,000 Call for Second Bill of Rights
Some 40,000 working people—including Bo McCurry—stood up for working families and a Second Bill of Rights at a huge rally in Philadelphia on Saturday.
McCurry, 58, worked for 25 years at a Sparta, Tenn., manufacturing plant. Earlier this year, the plant closed its doors and shipped the jobs to Mexico. Says McCurry:
My wife and I both lost our jobs, and so did 270 of our neighbors. The company just moved on and left us all behind. We need help getting back on our feet. That's why I'm here to tell our nation's leaders that we all have a right to a secure and healthy future.
America's Second Bill of Rights calls for:
- Full employment and a living wage.
- Full participation in the political process.
- A voice at work.
- A quality education for all.
- A secure and healthy future.
Click on the video below to hear from other workers about why they journeyed to Philadelphia for the Workers Stand for America rally and to sign America's Second Bill of Rights.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) told the crowd:
The Second Bill of Rights is so incredibly important so that we make sure that we can reinforce our focus on fighting for the middle class and working families.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said that it is work that connects us all and "Work defines us….But hard work alone never led to decent wages and retirement. It takes hard work and activism."
We built this country. We wake it up every day, we make it run and we put it to sleep every night—and it's time that we took it back for the American worker. Anyone who says America can't afford retirement security, or health care, or decent pay for honest work, or great schools, or a postal service, or cops or firefighters and teachers and nurses—well, they don't know what they're talking about and we won't accept their defeatism.
Dennis Caflin, 57, a member of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT), told The Philadelphia Inquirer:
We're the oil that makes the United States work. If we're pushed out of the equation, it won't work well. There's an evil empire of corporate greed—that's where our problems are. The money they have never seems to be trickling down to the middle class.

Our library is a great place to volunteer! We will be offering a New Volunteer Orientation session on Monday, June 6th at 6:30 PM in the meeting room. We accept volunteers of all ages, though any volunteers under the age of 12 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian while volunteering. Once you have attended the orientation and submitted your volunteer application, you are able to volunteer any time the library is open to the public!
One of our biggest volunteer needs is Patron Count Week, which occurs three times a year. The next Patron Count week is June 12-18th. We will need a volunteer each hour that the library is open to the public. This volunteer job is very easy but oh so important! All you need to do is count each person as they enter the library, and you can read a book or magazine while you count!
Each shift is one hour long, but we welcome our volunteers to sign up for more than one hour. You can also sign up for multiple days! To sign up for Patron Count Week, you can either stop by the Information Desk or call 281-550-0885.

Loyola's Fashion Law Project featured in California Apparel News
Loyola's innovative Fashion Law Project will encompass a wide range of legal issues attorneys face in the fashion industry through coursework that emphasizes practical skills-training and symposia. Adjunct Professor Staci Riordan, partner and chair of the Fashion Law Practice Group at Fox Rothschild LLP, discussed the program with California Apparel News.
"Riordan knew that fashion law was a serious subject that needed to be embraced by more law schools. And where else but in Los Angeles, where so many apparel companies are in need of legal help?
Riordan immediately started working with Sean Scott, the law school's associate dean for faculty, to develop the project. It got off the ground in January this year when Riordan taught her first class, "Fashion Law," which focuses on brand building, fashion financing, import/export rules and celebrity endorsements. For the fall semester, Deborah Greaves, the former in-house counsel at True Religion, taught a class on "Fashion Law Business Transactions."
More classes are being offered next year. They include "Fashion Modeling Law" and a "Fashion Law Clinic," pairing law students with emerging designers for hands-on experience in running a company. A class in "Fashion Mergers and Acquisitions" will also be part of the curriculum."

Pitfalls of Transactions with PHP | |
Subject: | separation of business/presentation logic? | |
Date: | 2003-12-19 10:18:59 | |
From: | anonymous2 | |
why bother putting together an article that talks about database transactions if you're not going to go to the effort of separating out business and presentation logic? while i understand that this was a simple example, not even mentioning it just helps propogate the problem. it also results in (demonstrated perfectly in this article) compromised code, where you need to code something in a certain way to account for the presentation logic. code realted to database access should NEVER be able to break XHTML compliance, and if your application is structured appropriately, you should never have to worry about it...


text: Through her involvement with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Diane Nash worked closely with Marin Luther King. In 1962 King nominated Nash for a civil rights award sponsored by the New York branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to acknowledge her exemplary role in the student sit-ins. King described Nash as the ''driving spirit in the nonviolent assault on segregation at lunch counters'' (King, 9 April 1962). Born in 1938, in Chicago, Illinois, Nash left Chicago to attend Howard University in Washington, D.C., but transferred a year later to Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, where she majored in English. In Nashville, Nash experienced the full effect of the Jim Crow system for the first time. In 1959 she began attending nonviolence workshops given by James Lawson. Initially a skeptic of nonviolent tactics, Nash began to understand their effectiveness and marveled at the willingness of people to risk their lives for the sake of others. She had the opportunity to practice nonviolent direct action after the Student Central Committee in Nashville organized sit-ins in local department stores. Their sit-ins occurred in conjunction with the wave of sit-ins across the South initiated in Greensboro, North Carolina, on 1 February 1960. In 1960 Nash attended the founding meeting of SNCC in Raleigh, North Carolina. In 1961 SNCC began supporting 10 students in Rock Hill, South Carolina, who were involved in protest activities and refused to post bail after being arrested. Shortly after arriving in Rock Hill, Nash and three other activists were also jailed for requesting service at a segregated lunch counter. For Nash, ''jail without bail'' gave protesters the ''opportunity to reach the community and society with a great moral appeal and thus bring about basic changes in people and in society'' (Garrow, 202). On 17 February 1961 King wrote to Nash, Charles Sherrod, and the other protesters ''You have inspired all of us by such demonstrative courage and faith. It is good to know that there still remains a creative minority who would rather lose in a cause that will ultimately win than to win in a cause that will ultimately lose.'' During the spring of 1961 Nash played a crucial role in sustaining Freedom Rides initiated by the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). From her base in Nashville, she coordinated student efforts to continue the rides into Mississippi and served as a liaison between the press and the United States Department of Justice. Tensions developed between King and SNCC members, including Nash, when King refused to participate in the Freedom Rides himself. After her leadership role in the Freedom Rides, Nash became head of SNCC's direct action campaigns during the summer of 1961. That same year she married James Bevel, a fellow civil rights activist. The two moved to Jackson, Mississippi, where Nash was later convicted of contributing to the delinquency of minors for teaching them nonviolent tactics. Given a choice between paying a fine and jail time, Nash opted to serve her sentence despite being pregnant. The judge suspended her sentence rather than face the possibility of negative publicity for sending a pregnant woman to jail. In 1962 she joined Bevel at SCLC as a field staff organizer. She and Bevel made important contributions to the Birmingham Campaign, March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, and the Selma Campaign. Both received the Rosa Parks Award from SCLC in 1965. From the late 1960s onward, Nash taught in Chicago public schools and continued her activism organizing tenants, welfare support, and housing advocates.

Realistically, in future they will have to resort to scanners to detect equipment and put them in a locker until you reclaim it, and optical/timing tricks to degrade pirated footage.

I worry more that I might forget I am carrying a pocket camera, and the theatre wants to compensate it. As it is, I forget to turn my mobile off until I am in there, and they watch to see if you are doing something.

A woman who ended her marriage because she claims her husband spent too much time watching pornography is fighting for a bigger divorce settlement. [2]
Dubai Courts granted the Emirati woman the divorce and ordered that the husband, who is also Emirati, pay her Dhs100,000.
However, she feels the payout is insufficient and has lodged an appeal to get more.
During the divorce hearing, the court was told that the woman discovered on her wedding day that her groom had a sexually transmitted infection.
A source close to the case told 7DAYS the man had syphilis.
"She told him not to touch her because she was afraid she would catch it. He told her he was getting medical treatment," [4] the source said.
"Later on, more problems developed between the two and she found him pleasuring himself and watching porn movies," the source added.
Records show the couple finally split when the husband went to Thailand for a trip. He sent her roses claiming he would be back shortly but after a couple of days he allegedly texted her and asked her to send her maid to collect her stuff from their home.
The court had been told that the woman's family paid Dhs280,000 towards the marriage expenses and that the bride gave the groom Dhs30,000 to arrange the honeymoon but he just booked them into a cheap hotel.
A date for the appeal has not yet been set.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Pelosi A Big Meanie, GOP Reps In Copenhagen Say
Newscom / Scott J. Ferrell
The story of what happened in Copenhagen, told to NJ by one of Pelosi's victims:
"It's pretty frustrating," said House global warming ranking member Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis. "They basically sent the Republicans back to the hotel on a bus" when the Democrats went to do their media briefing, he said. "The partisan card is being played on here."
What does the Speaker have to say for herself? Well, "you don't need Democrats to set up a press briefing, as you already know," mostly. From a Pelosi spokesperson's response emailed to NJ:
"Both the R and D members requested space to do a press conference. Ds got space today and Rs have space tomorrow in the US Center." She added, "As you know, you don't even really need space to do a press conference," noting that Senate Environment and Public Works ranking member James Inhofe, R-Okla., held his own impromptu 30-minute press conference this morning in the media center here.
Pelosi is such a terrifying bully she apparently has kept the GOP's own media staff frozen with fear, according to another Democrat who spoke to NJ:
A House Democratic aide also said that Republicans didn't struggle with Democratic staff to get a room for their press conference; they made a late request to the U.N. "They had press staff out here since the weekend and seemingly have not done any planning," the Democratic aide said.

This item fits our daily life style. It is easy to use, it provides a smooth ride and easy to handle. Very versatile, has easy to use features along with quick disasemble for storage. It is spacious enough with comfort for our child. Easy to clean. We had an issue with the canopy so I called Tyke Tech directly and recieved the best costomer service ever. The company is from Canada and shipped me a replacement canopy within days of our conversation. I am more than satisfies w/ my item and the service from the seller and manufacturer.

Comments about X3 Sport All Terrain Stroller - Pacific Blue:
This stroller does it all. It's a smooth rugged stroller. Our first stroller was the bugaboo which our little guy quickly out grew. We pretty much now have made this stroller our everyday stroller. Even though it's a jogger we don't run and just enjoy the freedom we get with having the large knobby wheels. We take it to the cape with us which is a life saver. My husband hated pushing the bugaboo around but loves this stroller. It's easy to fold and easily fits into the back of my suv. Also, we recently took it to Disney and were amazed at how many parents commented on the stroller and color which is a great blue.

He can play cornerback.
Belicheck is such an idiot. Can't believe he signed that loser. Why don't they have any depth after they drafted like 1 million players over the last 5 years? He needs a GM that knows football.
the question is not whether Winslow is better than Keller.
it's whether he's better than Cumberland, Reuland and Epps.
and the answer is a resounding YES.
It's amazing how the same people who think the end of the world will happen if the Jets even considered signing Kellen Winslow are the same folks who want to trade draft picks for scrub backup Running Backs like Fred Jackson, Felix Jones and anyone who lines up in the New Orleans backfield like they would actually be anything in an offense that didn't have Drew Brees stretching the field.
Once Winslow saw the Pats went back to a Wes Welker-centric offense he knew he wasn't getting the opportunity he wanted in New England. Somehow Winslow is more of an injury risk than Glass Schilens and "Back2Back IR's" Cumberland? Ok.
Anthony Becht >>> Winslow right now. Winslow is done.
Tanny was supposed to be fired for not picking him up and basically giving him to the Patriots. I mean, what is THAT about?
If I was a Patriot fan, I'd be calling for BB's head right now.
jeremy shockey is healthy and looking for work.
Yes! Let there be no doubt about it.
The guy asked to be released cause evidently the knee pain was too much for him.
And some posters mount the high horse and proclaim him in peak condition and the Jets should waste no time signing him. It's worse than the bring back Braylon fiasco
Let's recruit him. We need more soldiers.

Yes You Can!
Whether you love or hate him, Barack Obama has captured the worlds attention.
In 2007 he announced his candidacy and intentions to become president with these words;
"And if you will join me in this improbable quest, if you feel destiny calling, and see as I see, a future of endless possibility stretching before us; if you sense, as I sense, that the time is now to shake off our slumber, and slough off our fear, and make good on the debt we owe past and future generations, then I'm ready to take up the cause, and march with you, and work with you. Together, starting today, let us finish the work that needs to be done, and usher in a new birth of freedom on this Earth."
Beautiful words that fall softly into our hearts. And we connect with them because they speak to our hopes and dreams. To the ideals and visions that we keep secret and to ourselves.
And maybe for an hour, a day, a week those words will inspire us to greatness but after that what happens?
That was the question that Barack Obama's campaign managers had to answer.
They needed a plan to take this virtually unknown senator from obscurity to greatness. And they came up with probably the greatest grassroots campaign in presidential history. Amassing and mobilizing 8 million volunteers.
Yes You Can Plan
This is exactly what you need to do when you're going for your dreams.
You need to inspire, motivate and create a plan to achieve your goal.
Inspiration lifts you high and shows you a new vision of yourself. Dare to dream. Think lofty thoughts. Have high hopes. Don't let your past dictate your future. What would your life look like with no limits? Give yourself permission to soar. When you're lifted high you inspire others to do the same.
Motivation moves you forward. Breaking you free from the inertia of doubt and disbelief. Read inspiration books. Hang around inspirational people. Think about how it'll feel when you achieve your dream. Remember that the now is your jumping off point for what's to come.
And a plan gives you direction as you go for your goal. What's step 1 step 2 step 3? A plan gives you something to fall back on when the way seems unclear. You don't need to map out A-Z. Just try figuring out AB&C.
Why stumble around blindly?
Carve out the way ahead and be ready to seize the opportunities as they rise.
Inspire. Motivate. Plan.
Can you get there?
Yes you can!
Be Inspirational!

You would anyway need a desktop rig to get close to driving those 300 or 600ohm cans properly. Even an entry level Magni at $99 will give you 130mW at 600ohm. What would Fiio achieve even if they double (to 60mW), or even triple (90) the X3 power? You still cannot drive these cans properly. Trying to power high impedance cans with portables is inherently a fool's errand.
but it would be nice to see a DAP capable to drive it... the DX100 by iBasso is the best example
not at all trying to compete the X5 with DX100 as there's huge gap in the price factor :)

Parting out a long box 4x4 3/4 ton chevy truck. Will be scrapping most of it by next week. The truck was a running truck. The cab/door was shot so I'm scrapping it. The frame is a solid 3/4 ton hd frame. Has a low mile th400 with a 208 t case still in it. It has matching 3/4 ton axles with 4.10 gears with factory limited slip. Driveshafts are in good condition, leafs are stock, has 33's with 16.5 aluminum wheels. The truck was a driving truck so all the steering arms/linkages are in tact.
I also have a super clean front clip with rust free fenders, 2 hoods, 2 core supports, 1 grill and rust free sandblasted and painted original wheel wells. Has a good front and rear window. The doors also have tinted glass. Also have front rough country 6in lift springs with blocks for the rear and an extra 14 bolt ff with 373 welded gears.

The Rockies are trying everything to make their pitching staff better. Last week the team decided to go with a four man rotation, as opposed to the traditional five. They would limit the starters to roughly 75 pitches and then give it to the bullpen. Part of the reason for this is because the starters can't get past the 5th inning anyway, so might as well do it on purpose, right?
I'm not so sure. Then again, nothing is really going to fix this rotation. Hey, in other news, the Rockies won 11-10 Thursday. They had a seven run lead after two innings but still needed to make it interesting.
With the new playoff format of two wild card teams, there are going to be a lot of teams still in it for a while. The Rockies are one of the few teams that can say "we're out of it already". And they've been out of it for over a month now.
Obviously the problem has been pitching. The Rockies need to score 10 runs to win a game. They rank 4th (out of 30 teams) in runs scored and 3rd in batting average, on base percentage and slugging percentage. But their rank dead last in a four pitching categories (ERA, Quality Starts, WHIP and BAA).
A quality start is defined by having the starting pitcher pitch at least 6 innings and not giving up more than three earned runs. The Rockies have had 17 of those this season…out of 75 games. That's only 22%. Horrible. And with this new four man rotation, they are unlikely to get any quality starts any time soon.
Despite having the third worst record in baseball, fans are still coming out to the park. Credit the dedicated fans. We'll see how long that lasts. If anything else, the Rockies provide an entertaining game…lots of hits by the opposing team. And if the Rockies are going to win, lots of runs are going to be scored by both teams in most cases.
In other news, the Rockies pitching coach Bob Apodaca resigned his position and now the Rockies will have two pitching coaches. He had been the pitching coach for ten years, which is quite remarkable considering the fact that the Rockies have never been known for their pitching.

text: Storage 24 is like Doctor Who without all the things that make Doctor Who greatCharlie Jane Anders1/11/13 12:30pmFiled to: movie reviewStorage 24doctor whoNoel ClarkeMoviesHorrorAlienpredatorFbtweet10EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkProbably the main reason why anybody's aware of Storage 24, the new British monster movie, is the Doctor Who connection. Star and co-writer Noel Clarke played Mickey Smith in the first two seasons of nuWho, and the movie's setup feels very Who as well: people trapped in a claustrophobic space, being hunted by an alien monster one by one.AdvertisementSo it's kind of a letdown when you actually watch Storage 24, and not only is it kind of a weak movie, it's also clear Clarke and friends didn't learn anything from Doctor Who. Spoilers ahead... Actually, Storage 24 is pretty much a spoiler-proof movie. I already described the plot before the spoiler warning. There's a storage facility, and a monster, and some gooey violence, which is mercifully CG-free.AdvertisementThe most spoilery thing I'm going to say about it is this: you should just watch the final half hour. The whole movie is 86 minutes long, and approximately the first 54 minutes are kind of bleh. At about 00:54:00, the monster movie shit kicks into high gear and it becomes a watchable, if not great, horror film. I wouldn't recommend watching Storage 24 all the way through. It's like the opposite of A.I.So here are three lessons from Doctor Who that I feel like Storage 24 failed to take on board:1) At some point, we need to learn more about the alien menace. While I was watching this film, I kept thinking of the "Aliens of London/World War Three" two-parter, where a lot of the action involves Mickey, Rose and the Doctor figuring out who these aliens really are and what they want. The whole scene where the Doctor narrows down which planet they're from based on a bunch of clues is one of my favorite things Russell T. Davies did. (Even with all the farting and weird fatphobia.) At some point, the alien monster gets boring unless we learn more about its goals and weaknesses.Sponsored2) The most compelling special effect is good characters. Or at least, it helps if you don't root for everybody in the movie to die horribly. This is one of those movies where all the characters are completely terrible human beings, which is one reason why I advocate skipping the first 54 minutes — that's when most of the "character" "development" happens.3) The monsters and aliens reveal something about humanity This isn't always true, but it's true often enough. The monsters either prey on a human character flaw, or their lack of humanity reveals something about what it means to be human. Human weakness, often as not, turns out to be a strength when viewed correctly, on Doctor Who. And Storage 24 makes an attempt at comparing the monster to humanity, but it's mostly a couple of the male characters commenting that the monster is like their ex-girlfriends or ex-wives. Which is why the movie's garnered accusations of being misogynistic — but I don't know if that's misogyny or just weak writing.AdvertisementIt doesn't help that director Johannes Roberts only has a few tricks in his bag: like panning across the long, spooky rows of storage units. Or showing extreme close-ups of a character's eye, whenever he wants to convey that things are getting creepy. The soundtrack is actually quite catchy and dramatic, and often carries the energy and tension that the film is otherwise mostly lacks.In any case, like I said, if you only watch the last half hour, give or take, this is a decent enough film. There are some entertaining sequences with Clarke and friends figuring out that they're under attack from an other-worldly monster and looking for a way to survive. And if you skip the first 50-odd minutes, you won't be quite as invested in wanting every loathsome character to be disemboweled in front of you.Reply10 repliesLeave a reply

WASHINGTON – After going 2-0 in the circle for the CUA softball team last week, including a no-hitter on April 10, and hitting .417 at the plate in four games, Erin McMakin has been chosen as this week's CUA Athlete of the Week.
McMakin had quite the week for the Cardinals, culminating with her no-hitter performance vs. Hood on Sunday, April 10. The freshman hurler went seven innings, struck out four batters and walked just one in CUA's 5-0 win over the Blazers.
That performance came one day after McMakin earned a win over Drew after throwing seven innings, striking out six and allowing just a pair of runs in the Cardinals' 6-2 victory vs. the Rangers.
In addition to her outstanding pitching, McMakin did a great job in the batter's box, with five hits in 12 at bats, good for a .417 batting average. The Olney, Maryland native also drove in four runs and scored once.
McMakin went 1 for 3 in each of CUA's first three games of the weekend and then delivered a 2 for 3 performance in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader vs. Hood.
For the season McMkain is 7-3 in the circle with an ERA of 2.02 and 40 strikeouts in 59 innings of work. She is also batting .333 with 26 hits and 24 runs batted in.
McMakin and the Cardinals will be back in action this Friday, April 15 when they head to Pennsylvani to take on Gwynedd-Mercy in a doubleheader. Game one gets underway beginning at 3 p.m.
The very next day CUA heads to Scranton, Pa. to take on the Royals in a Landmark Conference doubleheader. Start time of game one is set for 1 p.m.

At this point, Le1f might find it hard to do anything wrong. After his 2012 hair-fling into the spotlight with the shruggy, slow-beated, Wut, off his Dark York mixtape, Le1f managed to make even that single seem less-than in 2013, with his flittering grindcore Spa Day mixtape and the crisp and smart Tree House. It was as if Le1f had never heard of a sophomore slump—or any kind of slump for that matter.
And now he's at it again. After announcing his signing to Terrible Records/XL last month, Le1f's first EP for the label is already here. At five tracks long, Hey is only a glimmer of what warped aesthetic chillness Le1f is capable of churning out. The EP's first track, Hey, starts with a club-tinged synth beat that filters through Le1f's casual but twisted flow as he sums himself up: "I'm a sphinx, I'm a forest nymph, I'm a water sprite." If you're not distracted by the cranium curling rhythm of his cadence, you might realize that one of the most exciting rappers in New York right now just called himself a "forest nymph," and sounded suave as hell doing it.
Sup is a darker Le1f than we're used to, utilizing a snarling trap beat that sludges through tough, heady lyrical play. The album's single, Boom, is more dance-ready, with shaken snaps, Le1f's standard seductive coos, and references to Super Mario '64. Oh, and that song Wut I mentioned earlier? It's on here too, and after almost two years cooking time, it sounds as good as ever.
The EP's final track, Buzz, features a beat that sounds like wet flip-flops squeaking and thwacking through a public bathroom, while Le1f stands on top of the sink and shimmys around like, "I'm a man's man/Literally, damn." As the song ends in a whirl of squawks and static, you're left feeling a little post-rollercoaster, wondering how that could've all happened so quickly. But in the end, this EP is merely Le1f saying what up—a reminder that he's not going anywhere.

I think this would make sense in the future if the posting rate gets higher. At the most recent rate we wouldn't get more than 8 threads a month and we have only had 27 threads since the begining of the board.
Tight Lines, Gregg |
IMHO, this is a six of one half dozen of the other situation. The topics are currently spread out on the various boards, which is why not many end up on the our enviroment board. Topics near & dear to the striper fisherman end up on the striper board, while those close to the steelheaders end up on the Pacific NW board.
What may be needed is a way to send a form e-mail to respective agencies, etc. The recent link to the one for mandating wild steelhead release in Washington made it effortless to send an e-mail to the appropriate agency. I just wish that it had worked. Oh, being able to personalize the message of the e-mail would be usefull.
John Desjardins |
Right now there are 31 boards. The destinctions between some of them are minute. To wit:
the difference between-"Gear Talk","Lines Loops Leaders", and "Works for Me" boards is minimal hence- slow groups. I agree that local enviromental issues call for local politics and action. But, I believe the overall number of boards should not get out of control. When people cruise our sight for the first time, if they are lucky enough to click on the tiny "Flytalk" link, seeing 57 boards with 5 post in many of them is a turn off. As with any board management issue I'm hesitant to participate given our past experiments in democracy. And on this issue I've raised it before and the response was evan more boards. But I humbly hope there is some consideration of limitng board proliferation in the vision of FFF. For the record I now use the new "User CP" to subscribe to boards. It works great for the estsablished member. You simply get a list of boards you want to see every time you log in. Maybe for the person who has never been here before they can se a paired down list of the boards ??? Then once you join, you get the rest of the 171 boards. Lefty Last edited by Lefty; 02-11-2002 at 11:32 AM. |
To be fair there are 31 sub-boards and 9 main boards.
It does seem like a lot and when I first signed on to help with the site I thought it was a little overwhelming. I will admit I really only interact with the board through the "Get new posts" link which notifies me of posts across all boards which I like. That way I can reply to the ones I want to and know in the future the post will hopefully be categorized correctly into a sub-voard so I can find it later by browsing through that sub forum. Having threads somewhat organized is a really good thing. You can pick and choose which boards you want through the user cp which is a good way to go as well. In the future I think you will see us moving more towards personalized boards such as Dana's Spey Clave: http://www.flyfishingforum.com/flyta...?s=&forumid=45 You will notice once inside the only way to get to the FFF forum is through the link under the user CP button in the upper right corner of the screen. Since the board is linked directly from the speypages homepage the board is very much its own entity. A lot of folks who browse it might not even bother checking out the other boards on FFF, which is fine. They are into spey fly fishing so why pummell them with sight fishing for stripers? Yeah if they get a hankering to get out to the cape and go striper fishing they always have the option to check out the striper board. So long story short look in the future for boards and site content to be focused regionally and/or type of fishing. The spey clave is the first experiemnt in that way of thinking and so far it seems to be going well. Yeah there will always be a central area where all the boards are but we will be providing the means to interact with the boards on a more personal and focused level. Think of flytalk as the hub of a wheel and the spokes being separate discussion boards providing the oportunity to discuss local fly fishing opportunites and styles anywhere in the world. Hopefully before spring when fishing starts up and we get nothing done:hehe: -seanspeypages |
Yikes! Thanks for the reply Sean. Soooo how about a "Flats Clothing" board?
Lefty |
Too general. I'm thinkin "Flats Footwear".

Stone Walls Do Not A Prison Make
The horrors of Connecticut's maximum-security dungeon at Simsbury were notorious even abroad. Yet time and again its inmates proved that, with a clever escape plan, stone walls do not a prison make.
February 1967 | Volume 18, Issue 2
In the five years that Newgate had served as a penitentiary for the Continental government, over half the prisoners had escaped, yet despite the breaks, the riots, and the fires, the makeshift jail somehow retained its name as the most formidable stronghold in the country—in fact, its reputation seemed so firmly entrenched that Congress decided to use it "for the reception of British prisoners of war and for the purpose of retaliation." But the Revolution was over before the captured redcoats arrived, and after 1783 federal interest in the mines as a jail began to slack off.
The Connecticut Yankees, however, lost none of their faith in their bastille. In 1790 it was formally constituted the permanent state prison; new workshops for the convicts and a comfortable brick dormitory for the guards were added, and the half-acre yard was enclosed in a sturdy log palisade topped with spikes.
From nail-making, the prison industry branched out into coopering and blacksmithing, manufacture of wagons and plows, production of boots and shoes, and the apparently inevitable basket weaving. Over the years most of the parade ground inside the walls became crowded with little factories. A stone chapel with a picturesque spire was added, as well as a hospital, quarters for female convicts, and a thirty-foot treadmill wheel for grinding grain. But despite all the improvements, Simsbury's jail was still a miserable place for the prisoners. On the steps of the treadmill marched the incorrigible and the defiant, through endless hours, often chained to their places, an overseer standing by with a ready lash.
Newgate became one of early America's great showplaces. During the early 1800s tourists travelled many miles to witness the spectacle of the walled citadel perched like a Rhineland castle on the hillside above the broad valley of the Farmington River. It was a major attraction, too, for European visitors. Only persons of distinction or accredited relatives of quiet prisoners ever got inside, but enough of them recorded their impressions to leave an indelible picture.
A globe-trotting journalist, Edward A. Kendall, entered the grounds in 1807 just as the bell was summoning the prisoners to work. He saw them straggling across the yard in twos and threes accompanied by guards with levelled and loaded firearms. The inmates were ordered to "heave up" from below, and their emergence with chains clanking and eyes glaring at bystanders "resembled, perhaps, more than anything the belching from the bottomless pit."
"Heavily ironed, secured both by hand-cuffs and fetters, and being therefore unable to walk," Kendall continued, "they could make their way only by a jump or a hop. On entering the smithy, some went to the sides of the forges where collars, dependent by iron chains from the roof, were fastened around their necks, and others were chained in pairs to wheelbarrows."
Kendall was proudly ushered down the ladder to view the underground area, commonly known as "Hell." He found the floor covered with thick, pasty slime, the odors unbearable, bunks of wet straw crawling with vermin, seepage from the walls trickling into the living quarters everywhere. Making a hurried retreat aboveground, he paid a second visit to the smithy during the lunch period. "I found the attendants of the prison," he reported, "delivering pickled pork for the dinner of the prisoners. Pieces were given separately to the parties at each forge. They were thrown upon the floor and left to be washed and boiled in the water used for cooling the iron wrought at the forges."
The rules for maintenance of the prison were very simple. Convicts were required to perform a "reasonable day's labor" in the shops from sunrise to sunset; the rest of the time they were to be confined to their quarters. Punishments for refusing to work or for disobeying orders included reduction in ration allowance, flogging, hanging by the heels, double or triple sets of irons, and confinement in the stocks below ground. Implementation of the rules was left entirely to the discretion of the keeper. He had authority to shackle offenders and impose penalties as he chose. Those who were "diligent, faithful, and obedient" he could reward with "ardent spirits" in such quantities as he deemed wise, and could even allow them employment, under guard, in the fields of neighboring farmers.

This plug-in I have made enhances the EVN Univers to its fullest potential. I have configured it so that you can buy some of the most powerful starships in the universe at any shipyard, and for some they are almost free. I have also made a few of the ships completely indistructable like the polaris scarab, arachnid, and the raven. I have also made it so that you can purchase many of the polaris outfits for just 1 credit each and as many of them as you want. I have also allowed it so that when you start a new game, you are already in control of all of the planets. There are also some other little tweaks I have in store. If you have any questions or comments about my plug-in, please contact me at email@example.com This is version 1.00, the release date is 4/21/03. Contributed by, Dan Muir

Even though Mary is a BIG part of being Catholic, you might be surprised by the number of Catholics who aren't very comfortable with the topic of Marian Devotions; cradle Catholics and converts alike!
Maybe you have a soft spot in your heart for Mary, but like we sometimes do with our earthly mothers - we forget to call. We take for granted that they love us and know that we love them,too.
This was certainly the case for a priest named Father Michael E. Gaitley, MIC. Father Gaitley chose to become a priest in an order that has a special emphasis and devotion to Mary. What does MIC stand for? Marians of the Immaculate Conception!
Yet in June 2011 he found himself feeling a spiritual dryness and a spiritual distance from Mary.
While giving a talk to the new men in his community he asked them to pray for him, confessing that he needed "a jumpstart in my devotion to her."
What happened next is amazing! Those men DID pray for him. They prayed so much that Father Gaitley woke up one morning (less than a month later) with the idea for an entire book AND a rekindled love for Mary!
Father Gaitley's new book is one we've needed for a long time. In it, he leads us on a "Do-It-Yourself Retreat" where we prepare for and then make a Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary (also known as Marian consecration). As he says, Marian consecration is "awesome, amazing, and life-changing"!
Based on the classic work, True Devotion to Mary by St. Louis de Montfort, this new book lays out an EASY INFORMATIONAL INSPIRATIONAL WELL ORGANIZED journey over 33 days.
During this little retreat we learn about Mary's role in salvation History, the depths of her love for us, the deep thirst Jesus has for all mankind, and how Total Consecration to Mary is the "surest, easiest, and most perfect means" to becoming a saint.
Unlike other devotions where you may find yourself asking: "What did I get myself into?" This method does not include lengthy prayers or long pages of difficult text to read. Instead, each day contains just enough to take in and reflect upon in a productive way.
Morning Glory?
Father Gaitley's new book is called 33 Days to Morning Glory. Why "morning glory"? Isn't that a flower? Father explains:
"I chose this part of the title because I think it best captures what Marian consecration is all about: A new way of life in Christ. The act of consecrating oneself to Jesus through Mary marks the beginning of a gloriously new day, a new dawn, a brand new morning in one's spiritual journey. It's a fresh start, and it changes everything."
But don't just take his word for it...
Spend a week with St. Louis de Montfort who teaches us that, "if we were to personally and sincerely renew our baptismal vows and place them in the hands of Mary, then this act alone would go a long way in helping us overcome sin in our lives."
Spend a week with St. Maximilian Kolbe who teaches us how to become a saint. "...sanctity isn't so hard. It's the result of a simple equation... W+w=S The capital W stands for God's Will. The small w stands for our wills. When the two wills are united, they equal Sanctity."
Spend a week with Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta who teaches us how to "satiate the thirst of Jesus Christ on the Cross for Love and Souls".
Spend a week with Blessed Pope John Paul II who teaches us about Marian entrustment and the connection between Mary and Divine Mercy: "...consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary means 'returning to the Cross of the Son.' It means bringing the world and all its problems and sufferings to 'the pierced heart of the Savior' and thus 'back to the very source of its Redemption.' It means bringing the world, through Mary, to Divine Mercy!"
"Yes, if we want to become more fully Christ, then we need to belong more fully to Mary. By going to her and remaining with her, we allow her to accomplish her mission in us. We allow her to form us into other Christs, into great saints. But how do we do this? ... Simple. We say yes, just like she did."

Words of Praise for 33 Days to Morning Glory:
"Finally an easy way to understand and live out Marian consecration! Forget about difficult theology and out-dated language. Here, for the first time, you'll find the best Marian teachings ... all presented so simply and clearly that you can immediately make them your own and apply them in your daily life." -- Vinny Flynn, Bestselling author of 7 Secrets of the Eucharist
"...Father Michael E. Gaitley, MIC, has done the people of God a great service with his adaptation of the 33-day preparation for the consecration...Take this retreat and let St. Maximilian Kolbe, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, Blessed John Paul II, and St. Louis de Montfort lead you into the mystical wonder of the Immaculate Heart. Believe me, your life will never be the same! -- Johnnette S. Benkovic, Founder and President of Women of Grace

Endnotes Cheat Sheet
August 14 is the feast day of St. Maximilian Kolbe - a great saint who dedicated his life to bringing the whole world to God through Christ under the guidance of Mary Immaculate.
In 1894 he was born to a poor Polish farming family and given the name Raymond. He was a difficult and exasperating child until Mary appeared to him one day holding two crowns in her hands. She offered them to him: one was white - representing chastity, one was red - representing martyrdom. He accepted them both and the boy was transformed.
He entered seminary and in 1917 formed the "Militia Immaculata". Taking the name Maximilian, he sacrificed everything to work in obedience to God's will and in union with Mary - transforming hearts and minds throughout Poland and Japan.
His hard work and obedience to God's Will meant that he became a target for those intent on spreading evil. In 1941 he was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Auschwitz concentration camp. There, he volunteered to take the place of a prisoner who had been condemned to death by starvation. He died a martyr of charity on August 14, 1941.
Did you know that St. Maximilian, who had such a deep love for Mary, died on the eve of one of her greatest Feast Days?
August 15th is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
On November 1, 1950, Pope Pius XII declared, that the Virgin Mary, "having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory."
This is a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics when we are required to attend Mass and celebrate this important event in the life of Mary, our Blessed Mother.
