About Peter Blaise
1 - Consider the title of this article, "... Now You Might Be Able To Use Copyright Law To Stop Anyone From Recording You Ever ..." and the second sentence in the intro above, "... how to use copyright law to block otherwise perfectly legal recordings ..."
2 - So, on first blush, I thought Bloomberg was a participant along with Swatch in the event Bloomberg recorded, so I presumed some of the recorded content was theirs, and I wrote my initial arguments above in this thread based on that limited summation by Mike Masnick.
3 - But in subsequently reading the motion to dismiss, the judge identified that "... Bloomberg accessed the call surreptitiously and without authorization or consent ...", so I now see Mike as mis-assessing the case, and Bloomberg as the wiretapping sleazeball group they are.
4 - I reserve the right to time-shift and record for personal use anything available via the free public airwaves, thank you Sony Betamax case * (which does not apply to tapping into something NOT available over the free public airwaves).
* 1984! Ooo, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corp._of_America_v._Universal_City_Studios,_Inc.
Wait for it ... read all the way through:
From the ODMD order denying motion to dismiss (all "quotes" below are from the ODMD): "... An operator informed participants at the beginning of the call that the call would be recorded, and she stated expressly that the call should not otherwise be recorded for publication or broadcast ..."
"... should ..." is NOT prohibition of either recording, nor re-publication nor broadcast, and especially not a prohibition against making a subsequent new art: a written transcript, sort of like a 2-dimensional photograph of 3-dimensional sculpture.
"... The Certificate of Registration expressly acknowledges that "... no claim of authorship is made to the performance of speakers not employees for hire of' Swatch Group or Management Services ..."
Swatch cannot legally make that claim for Bloomberg since the non-employees -- Bloomberg and others -- are not signatories to the copyright claim, in fact, it's a round-about admission by Swatch that they copyrighted something they did not own and do not have the rights to -- Bloomberg's original "art" in Bloomberg's participation, further subverting Swatch's claim that Bloomberg's recording was "unauthorized" -- since Bloomberg was a contributing artist, Swatch has no superior authority to prohibit recording nor copyright any non-Swatch contributions by others.
From a Copyright statue quoted in the legal piece: "... As a general matter, under federal law, "... copyright in a work ... vests initially in the author or authors of the work." 17 U.S.c. § 201(a) ..."
Since Swatch admits they are not the author of at least some contributions to the work, they have compromised their own standing in this case.
From a Copyright statute quoted in the legal piece: "... not including the sounds accompanying a motion picture or other audiovisual work ..."
Was it an audio+VIDEO conference call? If so, then all bets are off, and Swatch's claims have no statutory support.
"... the work is considered fixed "if a fixation of the work is being made simultaneously with its transmission ..."
Yet, since Bloomberg's contribution (and presumably other non-Swatch participants) were participating LIVE, their contribution cannot be considered part of Swatch's "fixation" of a remote transmission -- for Bloomberg, it was local.
"... It is as if one who was dictating live into a tape recorder were overheard and copied at the moment of dictation. At that moment, the material has become a 'writing,' even if copied simultaneously, rather than a moment later ..."
Except Bloomberg recorded THEMSELVES ... LOCAL ... LIVE!
"... Original, as the term is used in copyright, means only that the work was independently created by the author ..."
Need I repeat -- Swatch did NOT create the entire work, Bloomberg and others were participants.
"... Bloomberg accessed the call surreptitiously and without authorization or consent ..."
Wait a minute!
Eavesdropping, with NO participation in the contents of the broadcast "call" from Bloomberg?
Bloomberg are thieving sleazebags and deserve the book thrown at them (unless Bloomberg's transcript proves to be a new artwork not owned by Swatch, but really, the only way Bloomberg got to the transcript was surreptitiously without Swatch's permission or acknowledgement?!?)!
I now stand unconfused by the second layer of facts to which both parties appear to have stipulated.
Earlier, "... Read the opinion. It explains, in detail, why your argument is contrary to the law. The Copyright Act explicitly deals with simultaneous recording of live transmissions. ..."
And YOUR reading of the opinion and "the" Copyright Act in this situation is ...?
Do tell.
It's real simple -- Bloomberg did not copy Swatch's copyright RECORDING, Bloomberg copied a conversation, just as Swatch did.
Suppose 10 video journalists show up to record the President's speech, does the first to hit the send button on their recording invalidate the other 9?
No, because the other 9 did not copy the first videographer's RECORDING, they all recorded something from the free and open airwaves, available to all.

One cop turn his RADAR gun around to show me that he clocked me going 35 in a 25 zone. I could tell he was preparing for court, and wanted me to know I could not beat his testimony.
For all I know, the RADAR gun was stuck on 35 all day and he used the same ploy on everyone.
Testimony is all. Because it's a time-thing, there is no "evidence".
I was stopped for speeding in Maryland, US, kept quiet all the way through the ticket, and as the cop walked away, I decided to be bold. I mentioned to the cop that he never said anything about safety. He turned and said, "We understand each other completely."
In other words, speeding tickets are not for safety, otherwise the cops would drive in traffic to dampen people's speed.
It's all about revenue.
In Arlington County, Virginia, US, the driving safety class instructors tell us to avoid Arlington during our probation because the police give tickets on a whim regardless of our behavior on the roadway ... because they are incentivised by the one with the most tickets choosing their vacation days first. If a cop wants Christmas off, they must beat all other cop's ticket numbers.
Speeding tickets have nothing to do with safety.
Speeding tickets have everything to do with revenue.
So now we have to have a court case challenging the accuracy of the training, and if it's accurate (hahahahaha!), then challenging the practiced success accuracy of the officer's mastery of the training (hahahahaha!). Eyewitness testimony has proven incredibly faulty and unreliable. The judge is a dolt.
They keep moving the bar (so to speak) on how much a speeding ticket is worth. It's REVENUE for the Police, so that's their incentive. It's risk of loosing your license and paying exorbitant insurance rates for drivers, so that's their incentive.
The real challenge is finding a good lawyer who can set precedent to toss this judge back into reality.
Justice is not in the balance, apparently, it's in a pendulum.
Justice is available, it just takes a little work ... okay, a lot of work ... to dethrone the Police and the Judge.
I for one am all for tanking RADAR and LASER.
However, I was stopped by a cop using a stopwatch to clock cars passing line markers on the highway!
Actually, this happens all the time -- people blaming technology for not living up to their dream expectations. It's all in the glossy advertisements: "... buy this and your life will change ..." Although that's nothing new, no one sues aftershave or cologne or perfume makers when they fail to "win" a date (or "win" on a date). But people think technology stuff is smarter then they are, and so they think it will magically compensate for their own lack of thinking. As a technical consultant, I have to address this daily: The computer cannot be any smarter than the person sitting in front of it.
Earlier: "... If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain ..."
An excellent lesson for the co-moderators to try being patient, considerate, and to overcome their own failure of imagination on how to deal with the issue: monetizing the customer's eyeballs is NOT the customer's responsibility .. unless you PAY them. ;-)
Wow, I see this all the time.
I co-moderate a few dozen archived discussion groups. I have to fight all the time against fellow co-moderators who want to ban anyone for anything as if it's "their" group -- as others above have commented, "it's the owner's group, don't like it, leave".
No, it's not the owner's group, regardless of who pays the domain registration and hosting fees.
Once a second person joins, it's 50%/50% each member's group.
And once a third person joins, it's 33%/33%/33% each member's group.
And so on.
To consider participating members as mere fodder rather than giving them equivalent consideration as co-authors of the content is suicide, as well as just plain dumb and discourteous.
I have to remind fellow co-moderators that when they are trying to ban someone else, it is only because of their own impatience and incompetence to deal with it, and their own lack of trust in the group's fellow members to grow and learn how to deal with uncomfortable posts from fellow members.
I'm not talking about spam -- however we've learned to not even ban spammers, instead we leave them in the membership with reduced posting privileges.
Once some co-moderator or admin one pulls out the banning weapon, they get carried away. I call them "vladmins" after Vlad the Impaler -- look it up. And, there's no way to prove to new fellow members down the line that someone in the "banned" list is a only a spammer, not someone a co-moderator just doesn't like. So we're proud of our "banned" list being empty.
All this boils down to respecting the customer as the reason for being, and treating the customer as sacrosanct. Not the owner. Not the advertisers. The customer.
Without the customer, there are no advertisers. And without advertisers, unless the owner has deep pockets from some other source, then eventually, there is no owner.
Customers first and foremost.
Customer's second.
Customers third.
And so on.
Funny, I didn't mention advertisers and owners, did I?
Because owner's and advertisers NEVER get on the priority list.
They are there only to serve the customer, never themselves.
Get it?
Then die a painful, fruitless Internet death, having learned nothing!
It seems people need to relearn this every single frickin' day.
Love and hugs,

Thanks for the additional insight on what the site owner could try in order monetize the results of their efforts. I notice that you didn't mention anything they could do to to better serve their customers. Hmm ...
Also, below is a post that implies that the brouhaha was caused by an overzealous volunteer co-administrator. I see this happen all the time.. For example, it's rampant on Wikipedia where newbie editors are surprised by, and can't stand, "all the work" it takes to deal with the rabble masses, and so they quickly call for banning, and become delitionists.
The owner of the site apparently has better things to do, and has backed off to a hands-off position after turning over the reigns to an admin. This "attitudinizing admin mass bans members" shenanigans frequently happens when a newbie comes to power unchaperoned.
Regardless, I wrote "cu$tomer$" with dollar signs because that's what's been forgotten -- the customer is the source of the money, so follow the customer, not some arbitrary rules that apprently are there only to make the site owner happy, such as "don't talk with each other about solving site use problems if the discussion includes browser or ad blocker information".
Of course no owner HAS to say "thank you" to their "customers". Yet, owner's who forget that "customers satisfaction" is the only way to succeed are doomed to miserable failure. Hence this thread about another owner who ignored their customers, and then whines about their lack of success (well, an admin whines anyway).
Sadly, your advice was for monetizing their site, not for satisfying their customers. You and the site admin are still missing the point -- customer satisfaction is the primary goal, all other goals depend on and are subservient to customer satisfaction first.
And of course I was being sarcastic. But I got interrupted before I could respond to your insulting, emotional post. When I revisited your post, I had cooled off a bit and could laugh at your energies. Your emotions had swamped your intellect. This happens to me quite often in my first response to whatever bothers me, too. After a break, I could laugh at both of us, and dig deeper to the intellectual basis buried within your post.
In asking you questions back, it gave you a chance to dig deeper, too. I just think you were digging in the wrong place. I think customer satisfaction come before monetizing those customers.
Peter Blaise dot com
PS - You weren't whining about all of us whining, were you? ;-)
Oh my, you're so right. I hadn't thought about it like that. Thanks for sharing your alternative insights. You've really made me think. Thank you.
By the way, I think the site owner was complaining about their income model not working out very well. Got any ideas to help them change and grow and learn new things to make money?
And Google has like 50 words on their opening page, less if you don't even mode your mouse. How clean is that? Is anyone complaining about Google advertisements or begin banned from Google because they broke Google's own version of a non-negotiated TOS. Oh, wait a minute, Google doesn't have a TOS that includes the kind of self-serving silliness the web site in question tries to inflict on their otherwise free and open Internet visitors (read: cu$tomer$).
But otherwise, your thoughts are right on, whatever they were. Lemme summarize: "... don't like a site's policies, leave, don't complain ..."
But, I do think the owner said, "thanks for coming back" however ... oh, wait a minute, no, the owner did not say that at all, did they? Hmm ... so who's the one having problems getting their feelings of entitlement satisfied here after all?
Love and hugs,

Earlier: "... So you expect to get their service for free? ..."
Have you tried the Internet? Lots of free stuff there. Sort of like real life, like a library, or a mall or a bunch of stores where you can look at everything, read to your heart's content, even try stuff out, and only buy what you deem appropriate for you at a price you like. You can also ignore whatever you want to ignore.
Cool or what!?!
We come for the content, not the ads.
You want my money? Earn it.
The advertisers and the web site owner / designer are the insensitive ones who feel "entitled" to my eyeballs and want my eyeballs to sell to advertisers against my will, or they damn me.
No one's preventing the web site from earning income ... except the web site itself. "... if you've got ads on your website that are annoying your users, that is your fault -- not your users' fault ..." says it all.
If you have an alternative, suggest it.
Otherwise, just like in my paper subscriptions, I'll skip the ads. thank you. Now, can you imagine a magazine canceling sending me my subscriber because they learned that I was tearing out advertisement pages?
And then you call us leeches?
We have all the money, and if someone fails to earn it, you call us leeches!
I'm not gonna click on their damn ads anyway, so why risk angering me against the supposed goodwill of the product by forcing me to know and identify obnoxious, inappropriate products that I will probably decide to boycott from now on if I can't "turn the page" and move on from their mismatched, in-your-face advertising.
Adblockers are GOOD for advertisers because it forces them to build better, more consumer friendly, mor servicable presentations, instead of hanging around the old ways of doing thigns that did nto work, then trying to force those non-workign ways down our throats, blaming us for their own ineptitude.
Leeches indeed. They're called advertisers.

Perhaps Google will augment their metadata to include "temporary" situations observed by their drivers (voice recognition - drive safely!), and even to include comments on street view images, such as "request to update from email@example.com", and so on.
It makes sense to me to have the Google Street View Camera Truck driver or passenger record metadata on the conditions, especially temporary and under-construction conditions, into the street view image metadata -- it can only enhance Google's reliability if they can immediately put on a map web page "some temporary activities in these scenes may no longer be extant" or whatever.
I've already used Google versus Bing satellite views to see the progress of construction or the change from winter to summer in some areas. Comparative possibilities are very informative.
And I hope Google NEVER permanently deletes street view archives. Wouldn't it be fascinating to set the way back machine to before, say, a bomb went off, or to before reconstruction or renovation, or historically to when you were born? I say KEEP THE DATA!
Great -- this shows they recognize photographer's rights.
Let's use this a referential precedent next time some bone-headed community tries to claim public photography violates privacy.
Also, we should call for volunteer street-view photography mashups from the Internetting public whenever some locality claims Google street views should stop at their border.
Would they rather have sloppy or organized visitors? And don't forget the service Google street views does for locals ... and their own service providers, such as their own police!
Oh well, good for Windsor to use the Internet, and good for them to care enough to participate rather than try to back out of modern reality.

: Let's see if this is more understandable: Her throat was so tense from the effort to avoid crying, she found it difficult to speak.
: Now, notice that it took more words to "explain" the original ... which means that it was fairly simple, if not clear. Let's try another re-write:
: She responded in a voice strained by the effort to avoid tears.
: the original is still better.
How about: Choking back tears, she responded...

It's Thankful Tuesday.
Last night I left my child in the care of a new friend and joined my husband in a home full of acquaintances, drawn by our common love for teenagers. We were there to hear from an older couple who are legends in the ministry I worked for (professionally and as a volunteer) for the past eight years. Bob and Claudia spoke about their lives helping establish Young Life in the fifties, loving kids, and watching miraculous things happen to broken young people.
As we mingled after the meeting, I came into conversation with Claudia, who eventually set aside general niceties, placed her hand on my arm and asked how I felt about leaving Young Life staff and moving to San Francisco. I stared at her, overcome. My eyes filled; I shook. I managed to say, "It's been hard."
I miss the sweet difficulty of giving up what makes me comfortable for the sake of kids. I miss waking August up from naps and heading to the high school in time to pick girls up for ice cream. I miss how deep I had to dig in my gut to leave my baby for a week so I could take kids to camp. The truth is, I'm so grateful to have been a part of Young Life, whether or not I'll get to do it again. I've never known people more satisfied, more authentic, more fully exhausted than the friends who served alongside me in this ministry.
I've shared several times on this blog how I'm obsessed with my own need to prove myself as more than a SAHM. I'm sure you're sick of it. What I haven't said is how grateful I am to be home. I'm grateful that I have this moment in my life to see with clarity why I care how you see me.
I'm grateful to have stood in a ten foot wide concrete courtyard yesterday afternoon with my son and marveled with him that our favorite pigeon is going to be a father. Yep, he's taken up in a nest next to our back door with a fair pigeoness, and both are sharing the egg warming duties. (Maybe they read last Friday's post.) All afternoon, back and forth to and from the laundry room, quarters in hand, we checked on those pigeons who eyed us suspiciously. My boy was mesmerized: stalk still in the middle of a concrete ground, neck stretched nestward, surrounded by dumpsters, awed by two pigeon faces peering from their nest.
Maybe these two stories don't really go together. But in my head this morning, they match. And it's Thankful Tuesday so I can be thankful for whatever I want…whether or not the stories tie into a neat conclusion.
So instead of smooth endings, I will send you to this article by Andy Crouch, one of my favorite Christian thinkers, begging you to click here and read. If there were ever an article written for Thankful Tuesday, it's this one.
And if you're up to it, tell us what you're thankful for and why. Yours don't have to match either.

Glee actor Cory Monteith was a loud and proud Canucks fan Wednesday night as he and his co-star girlfriend, Lea Michele, cheered on the team at Vancouver's Rogers Arena.
"#gocanucksgo," the Victoria-raised star, wearing a Canucks jersey, posted on Twitter.
"Go Canucks!!" Michele tweeted, sharing a photo of herself -- also wearing Canucks attire -- taken at the stadium.
Monteith, 30, recently did a stint in rehab. His rep told People magazine in April this year that he "voluntarily admitted himself to a treatment facility for substance addiction."
The star also received treatment when he was 19 and has spoken about his addiction struggles, saying he had a serious problem and took just "anything and everything."
He told Parade in 2011 that he was "lucky to be alive."
Monteith stars as Finn Hudson on the Fox show.

LONG post, guys…and worth taking the time to read!
I know I haven't blogged much in the last month, and I have a REALLY good reason…this February Juice Cleanse group! These guys have kept me blissfully busy!
Let me digress for a second. I have never led a group cleanse before. I have had one-on-one clients and put the call out for #JuicyJune last year, but have never been responsible for leading a specified, private group of juicers. WELL! What an AWESOME experience! I put the call out, and 547 people responded (we have now swelled to 565). Not everyone participated, and that's fine…because those who did were truly, truly fantastic! We got such an amazing group of people together – newbie juicers, juice vets, folks in the process of juicing from January, and those who just wanted to make it through the 28 days of February.
What I love most about this phenomenal group of people is how supportive and encouraging they are for each other. If someone stumbled, there were tons of hands to catch them. When someone had a question, there were a myriad of answers. And the successes? Oh my goodness! The cheers were (are!) boundless! It was like getting wrapped up in Juice Love every time I walked up in there! Halfway through, folks were begging for the group to get extended through March…and we hadn't even finished February!
The point of this post, however, is to share their testimonials. Sometimes, you need to hear that someone else has done it successfully (and happily!) to encourage you to move forward. Well, if that's what you need, read on! These juice fasting testimonials will get you geeked and show you the power that juicing can give you. I am so appreciative of my folks for sharing their experiences with me and all of you!
Check it out…
"My juicing experience has been life changing. I "only" lost 9lbs in the 28 days, but my mind and body transformed much more than what the scale reflects. I DID IT! I juiced for 28 Days! I can do anything I set my mind to and as a former procrastinator/quitter, that's a wonderful realization. I feel better physically: fewer aches and pains; I'm not bloated; my blood sugars went from 230-ish to the 80s; my skin is clearer and yadda yadda yadda. BUT the change in my attitude and personality are what stand out. I'm just so friggin happy and for no apparent reason! I've stepped all the way out of my comfort zone in so many different ways and great things are happening in my life." -K.C.
"This has changed my life. I feel better than I expected. Renewed, cleansed, detoxed. I feel energy exuding out of me that I want to share. What a great experience. I have to say I'm hooked. My body demands these whole foods from me. I feel cheated when I don't give my body a whole food, clean juice. Thank you for inspiring me to embark on this journey that is taking me to a better healthier me." -M.P.
"I feel better than ever from my head to my feet…I think clearer and my shoes are looser, clearer skin, energy has tripled and I am more aware of what I put in my body…I looovvvvve the juice and the benefits! Juice on!" -L.P.W.
"Juicing has totally transformed my life. My most notable juice feast was a 35 day feast where I lost 18.5 pounds. I feel like crappola the first few days, but after that it's smooth sailing and I never feel like I am starving. NOTHING has worked for me like this has, and I have been the queen of yo-yo dieting to the extreme most of my life. I had a lot of distractions that kept derailing me last month, but since 2/25 I have been spot on, drinking only water and 96 oz of juice and have already lost 8.4 lbs in 11 days. My excessively dry skin is starting to show signs of hydration. Thanks so much for all your wonderful inspiring videos and this lovely group – Namaste!" -K.L.
"I have been overweight since I was 8 years old. My mental picture of myself was the blueberry girl from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, self confidence ZERO . I have been joked ALL of my life. I was 11 years old wearing a size 10 shoe, and sized 16 dress. After a failed marriage and raising 4 girls by myself, I decided enough was enough and started reading about nutrition, exercise etc… ABOUT MY JOURNEY. A couple of years ago, I had been going on the internet looking up nutrition info and one of the links led to the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly dead. I watched it and felt encouraged. Looking around some more, I happened upon Carla's website about juicing. The energy this lady has was infectious!! I found myself laughing, crying, smiling thru the myriad of Youtube videos she has made. I thought, I want to be like her when I grow up. Then I said wait, I am like her. I have both 101 juice fast/smoothie recipe books and made a bunch of them before the Feb. group even started but there wasn't any real accountability. I had high blood pressure, knee pain, left hip pain, back pain some swelling in my lower legs and feet. My self esteem was a false front I put up so no one could see the sad inner child within. THEN….the Feb. Juice cleanse group was formed. I was excited, nervous, doubting myself going into the cleanse but I cannot tell you or express how much this group, the encouragement and camaraderie means to me without breaking out in tears. Within the first 2 weeks, knee pain gone, back has only occasional twinges, hip pain almost non-existent. My skin's sooo soft I was feeling myself up…lol. The change in the way my clothes fit has me trying on different outfits, just because. I feel ALIVE, sexy and in control of my life, food, emotions for the first time in a VERY long time. I will continue to juice until…who knows! People have noticed the changes and compliment me often. I'm singing LOUDLY in my truck, dancing around my house, running around with my dog…oh the list goes on. EVERY DAY I thank my Heavenly Father for making the beautiful person that I am and for giving me the opportunity to feel it and think it. It's the food of the earth that HE has provided that makes all this possible for me and for that I am humbled, and TRULY grateful. I feel life bubbling up from inside!" -S.T.
"This group has given me the confidence I needed to see my first 30 day fast through to the finish line! I have so much more energy, my thoughts are so much clearer, my clothes are too big as I lost 23 pounds in total…and that is just the tip of the iceberg as I have now been transitioning to solid foods (for the past 5 days) …but to be honest I have more work to be done on ME and with all of your support I have decided that I will begin anther 30 day fast today! I love what juicing does for me and how it has transformed my life for the better! Carla, you inspired me through your video testimonials and blogs and the way you always "tell it like it is" resonated in me – I will be forever grateful for having found you and for the enthusiasm and encouragement you have shown to all of us! You are a very special and generous human being!" -S.K.
"I am a 54 year old vegan with a pretty healthy diet, but generally I eat too much food even though it is mainly healthy and made by me. My weight loss journey started in January 2011 when I decided to do a little bit of exercise using my son's Xbox (fruit ninja game – I was very unfit). Then I started reducing my food intake to 2k calories per day. I lost some weight and felt good. (I used My Fitness Pal app)
I have a health issue, a virus that is sparked by certain, otherwise healthy, foods like nuts and seeds. I went to see a herbalist who put me onto a 3 month detox where I was only allowed to eat fruit in the mornings, in the afternoon I could only have fruit plus veg that were not root veg. No rice and many other restrictions. No food after 6pm. I lost a stone in total from January to April/May 2011.
Some of the weight gradually crept back on over the months as my diet returned to normal but I continued with exercising. The virus was still there. I was reading many books on how to cure myself. I kept seeing pointers towards juicing. I thought "No Way" that's really drastic.
In July 2013 I watched Fat Sick & Nearly Dead. I thought that I would have to give it a go. Somebody pointed me towards Carla's YouTube videos. They were totally amazing! I did a 60 day juice fast and kept up with my exercises. I also watched Forks Over Knives that is another life changing film, packed with information. They weight came off and I felt great.
In January 2014 I did a 7 day juice fast with some friends, then I saw that Carla was doing a group one during the month of February. I signed up for that immediately.
The fact is that I've lost weight during this last juice fast, it has brought me back to the weight I was at the end of the 60 day fast. I lost 9lb in 28 days. I didn't exercise this time. I've discovered that juicing has brought me to my goal weight and will not take me below it – how good is that? I am now exercising again to tighten up the flab. Still on a high juice diet and will remain that way.
Due to this Raw Raw Life juicing family, I also have recently started using enemas. Another life changing event! That was quite a mind bender to get around, but there is nothing to it in the end and it feels great afterwards. I truly believe that this is the key to finally ridding myself of the virus (which is much improved, but still there). I've used 1 garlic enema (only because I had just received the kit and wanted to use something), then apple cider vinegar enemas over the past 2 weeks. Today I will start with the coffee enema and that's probably what I will stick with.
I have lost a total of 3.5 stone (49lb / 22.2 kg) since my journey started. My blood pressure is now normal and all my blood results have come back as good. This is thanks to juicing. It has changed my life. I've taken up roller skating and ice skating. Life is good!" -L.N.
"[My mother and I are] doing this thing miles apart: she's in New Orleans, LA. & I'm in San Antonio, TX, but we talk several times a day, share recipes and try to keep up with what's going on with the group.
I was recently home for Mardi Gras and that's when we took a pic, weighed ourselves & got our measurements taken. Believe it or not, we both lost 17 lbs (Mom wasn't impressed until she realized that was an average of 4lbs/week!) Our hands are on our hips because of our new found waist-lines but most of all, I'm proud that Mom is now OFF of 3 out of 4 meds to control her blood pressure!!!! So, at ages 52 and 70yrs, we're making lifestyle changes, feeling energized, confident and are committed to another 30 days to get us to our goal. THANK YOU Carla & Juice family for the guidance, encouragement, support and laughter along this journey." -M.G.G.
"Control over bad habits is a beautiful thing, something that I don't want to lose, I'm on my 4th day of straight juicing after a bit of slacking and feeling strong, I'm enjoying making juices, drinking lots of water and the positive changes I am witnessing even within this short period. Never has going to the toilet so frequently felt so good. I have struggled with sticking to things til the end so it will be a great achievement once I've completed this. Preparing my shopping list for this week and craving berries, lemons, limes & maybe melons. This week I've had mainly juices consisting of spinach, carrots, tomatoes, oranges, apples & cucumber. Today I will be having some broccoli,cucumber & spinach. Wanna try wheatgrass too & been in search of kale, which I'm finding is pretty rare around where I live." -A.A.
"For all the newbies: I want to tell you from experience that once you do this, you will have the tool of fasting with you always to pull out and use when needed. I did three 30 day fasts every other month, about 1.5 yrs ago. Lost 100 lbs. Felt like a million bucks. Memory sharper. Skin clearer. A couple old aches and pains gone. Now, I can fast at a drop of a hat, and juicing regularly seems as natural to me as preparing any other type of meal. This fast we are about to do doesn't make me timid at all. Easy peasy. I could have started a week ago, but I really want to do it "with" the group. It's amazing just how easy it is to slip right into it.
I've recently moved back to Ohio after 23 years of not being here. As a kid, I'd get bronchitis bi-annually. Fall, and Spring. It would have me hacking like a 90 year old chain smoker. I've even cracked rib cartilage from coughing so hard. Usually I'm down for the count for 2 weeks with antibiotics. About a month ago, I woke up with that tell tale signs. Itchy tickle at the back of my throat, and congestion. I knew I was coming down with something, and it always turns bronchial, so, I started juicing. That cold never got beyond itchy throat and a bit sniffly, and those effects lasted about 5 days. I honestly believe that juicing helped fight off what usually gets very bad. I juice regularly now because of the entire process. It's my secret weapon now!" -D.S.
The last testimonial is a report of how this juicer felt during her 28-day journey! So honest…love this!
"1. I hated juice feasting in the winter. Maybe hate is too strong a word… maybe not. It was too damned cold and my body craved warm foods and liquids.
2. Even though I was not new to juice feasting and had been eating relatively clean since July 2013- still went through detox. Gotta love it. I think with each cleanse/feast your body digs deeper and pulls out junk you didn't know existed.
3. Some of my detox symptoms: I kept a low-grade headache for the first few days. I also had a hard time sleeping the first few nights- couldn't get warm enough. I stayed cold down to my bones. Oh, and as my colleagues could attest, my mood, particularly in the early morning, was ummmm sorta ummm irritable. However, after my morning juice, life was good. LOL
4. This juice feast really fixed some emotional stuff deep down inside of me. I cried a lot during my 28 days….cried this morning too. Not because I was sad, but because I felt something. Being a strong Black woman in America, I learned to shield my tender side concerned that the world and those around me would take advantage, try to quiet my voice, think that I was weak etc. The down side is that in making sure the world knew not to trifle with me, I caged my heart and emotions, to some degree. I'm still not one to trifle with ( don't let the dimples fool ya) but now I allow myself to process my emotions and give myself permission to feel. Now, I cry a lot… tears of joy, tears of happiness, tears of sadness, tears of frustration, tears of laughter, tears watching inspirational videos on FB etc., … and I am better for it.
5. Beauty sleep. After the initial detox of not being able to sleep, I began to sleep peacefully. Because there is nothing for my body to digest or to expend energy on grinding away through the night… sleep is truly beauty sleep. My body can use all of its energy to heal. My normal stiffness, aches, and pains disappeared. I woke feeling extremely rested never recalling any dreams or nighttime awakenings.
6. Let's talk about skin for a moment: I glow. For real. Wait a minute… I'm jumping ahead of myself. My skin feels like butta'. There is a baby-softness that happens from feeding powerful nutrients directly to the cells though juicing and juice feasting. I am amazed at the softness of my skin without moisturizers or lotions. Ok…now on to the glow. Yeah… I'm glowing. My skin looks radiant and dewy all the time. Old blemishes ( pre-juicing) caused by my menstrual cycle have faded, if not vanished. My make-up routine has simplified—mascara, lipstick, and blush.
7. Prior to juicing, I suffered from edema. My consumption of the SAD ( standard American diet) caused severe water retention and swelling of my feet and ankles. I know now that the culprit was sodium. Even though I never added table salt to my food, the sodium present in the foods I was eating was off the charts. Since juicing/juice feasting—no swelling, no edema, no water retention.
8. Weight loss has occurred while juicing the past 28 days. I don't know the numbers ( I still haven't weighed myself and don't know if I will anytime soon). What I do know is this: In January, my size 14 pants that hung way back in my closet didn't fit— now they do. In January, my my fitted dress shirts size 14 didn't fit— now they do. In July 2013, I began my journey wearing size 22 tops and size 20 bottoms. So, the weight loss is happening—and I am thrilled. The difference now is that numbers on the scale no longer motivate me— feeling healthy does!
9. Labido and feeling sexy. Juicing makes me feel sexy. I'm sure it's a combination of eating well, sleeping well, losing weight,increased energy, feeling confident etc., … but the act of juicing makes me feel sexy and frisky. Makes me feel like I wanna…
10. Energy. This is a tough one to assess.During the 28 day of juicing my energy ebbed and flowed. I also worked 23 days /10-13hr days straight before a day off. So, on second thought, I would have to say my energy was great, otherwise I could not have worked such wicked hours and so many days while sustaining myself on juice only. It was the juice that got me through my February work schedule. So, energy was an A+.
11. Clarity of mind. I no longer have brain fog. Juicing clears up all the fog caused by the SAD diet. I think more clearly, I'm sharper, my memory and concentration have improved.
12. Allergies disappear. Allergies are an auto-immune response to toxins- things our bodies don't like. Most times, we don't get a reaction until enough toxins have accumulated in our system and pissed off our bodies . Rashes, skin conditions, sinus issues, intolerance of foods, etc is your body's way of getting your attention to change your eating, to clean up our diet, to cleanse the toxins, chemicals, etc out of your system.Doing a juice feast/cleanse clears out those toxins and resets your immune system. I used to have sinus issues,phlegm production, stomach upset, bowel issue… prior to juicing in July 2013. This recent 28 day of juice feasting helped to fine-tune my system and to keep allergies away.
13. Feeling centered, balanced, and in the moment. This benefit is hard to explain other than- when I don't have food on the brain, when I am not thinking about "what's for dinner or what am I gonna eat for lunch?" it really frees up mental space and energy to focus on what matters. My insides feel calm and centered and I feel very connected to the here and now. There is an emotional release from food and an increased awareness of the universe, life, and what goes on around me.
14. I no longer crave sugar, refined carbohydrates, or processed foods. Even during the 28 days, I had cravings— cravings for hot veggies, butternut squash soup,etc. My taste buds have changed and for the good.
15. Love. This 28 day juice feast has repaired and healed, removed the unwanted and created a greater space in my soul to love and be loved. Overall, my capacity to love has expanded because all that heavy baggage that was once taking up residence and crowding my spirit has left. I feel a love for people… for humankind… even those I do not understand or sadden me. I find myself to be kinder, more compassionate, more forgiving, more empathetic, more hopeful… just a better, more loving, more giving, more fulfilled, more alive me." -N.G.
My goodness! If that doesn't inspire you to run and grab some juice…

PDSI Awarded Major Contract by Los Angeles County to Automate Employee Scheduling for the Sheriff, Fire, and Probation Departments
Irvine, CA. – PDSI (Principal Decision Systems International), the leading provider of automated workforce management solutions for Public Safety through its product TeleStaff, today announces it has been selected by the County of Los Angeles Sheriff's Department on behalf of the County Sheriff, Fire, and Probation Departments for the Automated Employee Scheduling System (AESS) software solution project. PDSI was awarded the contract through a competitive proposal process.
In an effort to align with the County's goals to improve operational effectiveness and increase scheduling efficiencies, the County Sheriff, Fire, and Probation Departments will utilize TeleStaff to automate their complex scheduling, deployment, and time management requirements while reducing the data entry workload for staff.
With this award, PDSI and the County of Los Angeles will embark on a Phase I deployment at selected pilot sites scheduled to start January 4, 2010. Phase I will focus on deploying TeleStaff at six locations within the three participating departments, and will be comprised of implementation, configuration, testing, training, and maintenance services. PDSI is highly motivated to ensuring the success of Phase I as a necessary condition of continuation to Phase II full deployment. The focus of Phase II will be the widespread deployment of TeleStaff to all three departments at facilities geographically located throughout the County to a user community of nearly 27,000 employees and will include mobilizing an interface between TeleStaff and the County's timekeeping solution.
TeleStaff was selected to substantially improve the County's scheduling processes to help it achieve its strategic goal of "workforce excellence and fiscal responsibility." End users and schedulers will be provided the features they require to accomplish their scheduling tasks with greater ease. End users will be able to request time-off, sign-up for work, review pay information, and check their schedules through touch-tone phone, Internet or standalone PC.

The power management settings on your PC aren't exactly a chic way to save energy — not like buying a Prius or installing solar panels.
But a typical PC wastes up to 600 kilowatt hours of energy per year. That translates into as much as 1,000 pounds more CO2 in the atmosphere and $20 to $60 less discretionary income in your wallet.
Now a Seattle software company has teamed up with some of the heavy-hitters in the tech industry to offer a free way to estimate and cut your PC's energy use.
Edison, a free downloadable program produced by Verdiem, lets you determine how much time goes by before your computer automatically turns off its monitor, powers down its hard drive, and puts itself into sleep mode. It also lets you see how different settings — shutting off the monitor after ten minutes of inactivity versus 20 minutes, for instance — would alter your energy consumption, CO2 output, and electricity bill.
Edison isn't the first such program out there. CO2 Saver and Local Cooling are similar free power-management programs. You can also control your power management settings directly through Windows.
But Edison has an added feature — it allows you to define your work hours and non-work hours, and choose different settings for each.
And the little program has some big names behind it. Although it's produced by Verdiem, the free software is being promoted by Microsoft and by the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, a coalition of tech companies such as Intel and Google and environmental groups including the World Wildlife Fund.
One downside: Edison is available only for PCs, not for Macs.
Want more ideas on how to improve the environmental profile of your home or work computer? The Chronicle ran a recent story on what some Bay Area small businesses are doing to green their tech operations.

The International Olympic Committee announced Friday that Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom will receive his silver medal after being suspended for the gold-medal game at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
Last month, Backstrom tested positive for elevated levels of pseudoephedrine, a banned substance by the IOC and World Anti-Doping Federation found in his allergy medication. Sweden lost to Canada by a 3-0 score.
From the IOC Disciplinary Commission:
The IOC Disciplinary Commission (DC), composed of Anita L. DeFrantz (Chairperson), Nawal El Moutawakel and Claudia Bokel, found that the provisional suspension was fully justified, not only due to the presence in excess of the applicable decision limit of PSE in his urine sample, but also due to the fact that the athlete conceded at the hearing, which took place shortly before the final match, that he had also taken medication containing PSE earlier that day.
The IOC DC took into account in particular that the athlete had been cooperative, had disclosed the medication in question in the doping control form and had relied on the specific advice of his team doctor that the intake of the medication would not give rise to an adverse analytical finding. There was also no indication of any intent of the athlete to improve his performance by taking a prohibited substance. Based upon these mitigating circumstances, the IOC DC considered that the athlete should be entitled to receive the silver medal and diploma awarded for men's ice hockey.

Will Trubridge explains the importance of psychological strength in freediving competitions – and why having a poker face is a very useful skill.
To the observer, freediving is all about serenity and calmness – a peaceful interaction with the underwater world. It is exactly all these things, which is why competition freediving presents such a unique challenge, says Will Trubridge.
"The conditions of a competition are slightly different to a world record attempt. In a competition you have an official preset time and there's a lot more people around – spectators and media. It's not as controllable as with a world record attempt," he says.
Trubridge surfaces after a competition dive at Dean's Blue Hole ©zooom.at/Samo Vidic
The key ingredient to success is to be relaxed he says, which is much harder to achieve in the contest environment. "With other sports you can use the nerves and the anxiety which generates adrenalin to your advantage. In freediving it's completely detrimental."
The reason for this is the affect it has on heart rate. Stress and anxiety raises the heart rate. To be successful, freedivers need to have the lowest pulse possible to conserve oxygen.
Trubridge is currently preparing for the AIDA Apnea Depth World Championship in Cyprus this September after a successful spring in which he won all titles and set a new competition No Fins personal best (PB) of 98m in Colombia. He says he's getting better at handling the stresses of contests.
"I'm feeling really motivated for [Cyprus]. The lesson I've been learning a lot this year is the importance of being patient and taking my time and not feeling obliged to do a dive."
He also says that mind games play a part. When going for a world record or when competing at his own Suunto Vertical Blue contest, a freediver can have multiple attempts over several days. But in the world champs, they get just one chance. And that involves some psychological battles.
"You announce your dive on that day. If something goes wrong, then you don't have a second chance. It creates more of an element of chance. There is also a lot of sleuthing and spying to find out what other freedivers have done in their training to gauge how they're performing, and using that information to make pronouncements."
Watch as Will Trubridge attempts to break his own 102m record.
He says that if he underestimates a competitor's ability and sets himself a target that's too low, he risks losing, but set the target too high and the risk is to over-stretch and fail.
"It creates an element of a poker game in the announcements themselves!" he adds.
Trubridge says he's can't wait for the contest to begin. "I've never been to Cyprus. My goals are to do well in all three disciplines. I have the world records in no fins and free immersion. I would like to do my best at winning gold in those two disciplines and do as best as I can in constant weight."
We wish him the best of luck.

New snow in Summit County adds weight to avalanche danger
summit daily news
Avalanche danger in the Summit County area spiked this weekend, as more than 8 inches of new snow loaded up weaker layers at the base of the snowpack.
Given the current conditions, experts warn of dual dangers: smaller, but more easily triggered slides in the new, loose snow and bigger, more destructive avalanches, that occur when persistent slabs give way.
"It will be pretty easy to trigger slides in the new and windblown snow. Those slides by themselves will probably be pretty manageable," Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC) forecaster John Snook said. "The bigger problem is that we're putting new weight on the preexisting snowpack."
Wind and snowfall over the last several days have created large slabs, adding stress to the deeper snowpack and prompting CAIC to issue a special advisory for all mountain areas Sunday.
Several human-triggered avalanches in areas that didn't show many signs of instability underline the danger, according to the advisory. Summit County had two reported slides in the last 10 days, one inbounds at Arapahoe Basin and a second triggered by a backcountry skier on Peak 1.
Neither involved fatalities.
"We knew this weather was coming in and we expect to hear about more avalanches today," Snook said Sunday. "We're still trying to get the message out there, telling backcountry travelers to be careful."
The avalanche danger is rated considerable on most slopes at and above tree line, the third on a five-tiered scale used by CAIC. Danger ratings in the Sawatch Range directly south of Summit County was upgraded to high this weekend, after Monarch Pass received significant snowfall.
Part of the problem this season, experts say, has been the changes in conditions across relatively small distances. Snow that appears safe in one area may be unstable very nearby, leaving backcountry recreationalists unprepared or unaware of potential escalations in avalanche danger.
"The big lesson this year has been the variability of the snowpack," Summit County Rescue Group spokesman Charles Pitman said. "There are several weak layers buried within the snow. Individuals that go in the backcountry really have to be prudent about understanding the snow conditions right where they are."
Pitman urged backcountry travelers to frequently check snow conditions and to carry and know how to use avalanche safety equipment, including probes and beacons.
Precipitation is expected to continue this week, paired with colder temperatures for the first part of the week.
National Weather Service forecasters are calling for sunny skies today, followed by a 40 percent chance of snow tonight, although accumulations aren't expected to amount to more than half an inch.
Snow is possible throughout the day Tuesday and could return Wednesday night into Thursday, according to NWS forecasts. Snow accumulations for the coming week are uncertain, but aren't expected to rival this weekend's totals.

Your Edits
Hello, and welcome to the harry potter wiki. I have noticed that you have posted alot of material in the talk or blog pages, but not a single edit in the regular article namespace. I just wanted to inform you on the Editing Policy we have here at HPW. Your User page or talk page should not be your main contribution to the Wiki. The majority of your edits should be in the Main articles. This being said, I would suggest to you that you start trying to edit some of the regular article, so you're userpage is not locked from being edited. Wanted to welcome you, and Inform you on the policy. Best Wishes. -- Ratneer Owl Me! 21:02, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Cedrella Black
Cedrella actually could have been born in late 1915 (November or December), if Callidora was born at the beginning of the year (January or February), and she could've been born in 1919, if she was born at the top of the year and Charis at the end. It's an uncommon occurrence for non-twin siblings to be born in the same year, but not unheard of, as I once knew two brothers born in the same year, ten or eleven months apart.
I've edited the article to reflect this possibility. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 09:49, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
I actually know twins who were born in different years because one was born on New Year's Eve night and the other on New Year's Day morning. Scarletmoon579 15:54, December 30, 2009 (UTC)Scarletmoon579(Talk to me!)

Re: IRC
This page should help explain how to get onto IRC. The easy way, however, is to follow this link, type in a username and hit "login". You could also login using a program besides your web browser, but using the web interface above is easier. Does that answer your question or did you have a more specific question about using a particular program. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 03:34, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Dittany Etymology
Feel free to add an etymology section to an article whenever it seems relevant. Just remember to cite the source(s) you use. If you don't know where to look for etymological information, the Online Etymology Dictionary is good for general English words, and Behind the Name for personal names. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 10:46, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

No, we're all different people. I'm different to. I have being annoyed no lostpedia. Makes me that stupid? No. You're not stupid, you're just funny. And without funny people is the world in darkness. Look it at the positive side. I don't know how you're living at home with your parents (or parent), maybe divorced I don't know. But you're not stupid.

- While it's pretty much a given that any person born will have two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, and so on, only characters who are specifically mentioned in the books, movies, games, or other canon form should have their own articles. Otherwise we'd have articles like "Pomona Sprout's mother" or "Gilderoy Lockhart's grandfather". Did they exist in the HP universe? Certainly. Do they get their own articles? No. - Nick O'Demus 06:42, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Celebrated singer and songwriter Teena Marie, a disciple of funk legend Rick James who was know as the "Ivory Queen of Soul," died Sunday at age of 54.
Marie, remembered for chart toppers such as "Lovergirl," "Fire and Desire" and "I'm a Sucker for Your Love," had incredible command over her voice, using her silky vocals across a range of styles, most notably R&B and funk.
"I would always tell her that she was one of the greatest vocalists of our time," said Cathy Hughes, the founder of Radio One, a broadcast company catering to predominately urban listeners. "Teena was a black voice trapped in a white body."
The cause of death is still unknown, but according to Marie's publicist Lynn Jeter, she suffered a massive seizure a month ago. CNN reports that Marie was found dead by her daughter Sunday evening. She had reportedly died in her sleep, according to Marie's manager Mike Gardner.
Marie was born as Mary Christine Brockert in Santa Monica, Ca. She was first signed to the legendary Motown label back in 1979 at age 19, working with James, with whom she would have long, turbulent but musically magical relationship.
The cover of her album, "Wild and Peaceful," did not feature her image. Motown apparently feared backlash by audiences if they found out the songstress with the dynamic voice was white.
But Marie notched her first hit, "I'm A Sucker for Your Love," and was on her way to becoming one of R&B's most revered queens. During her tenure with Motown, the singer-songwriter and musician produced passionate love songs and funk jam songs like "Need Your Lovin'," "Behind the Groove" and "Ooh La La La."
Marie had toured in recent years after overcoming an addiction to prescription drugs.

Hi everyone! Just a quick announcement that, after an extended sabbatical, I've reopened my Creative Salvage shop. I left it in vacation mode a month longer than initially planned, but it's back up and running now. I'll be adding new items soon (I'm working on compiling some vintage inspiration packs like I sent for the shop swap!).
Here's a sampling of what's currently for sale:
{The Girls of Cleveland Ohio, black and white photographs | Creative Salvage}
{Blue and white tin canister | Creative Salvage}
{Early Frisbee "Flying Saucer" | Creative Salvage}
I'm back and ready to go. I even have a special blog promo code for you. Add BCDPROMO to your checkout to receive 20% of your purchase price for a limited time only. Thanks, and have a lovely day!
