Download Radio Friendly Unit Shifter IV (Click Here)
Everyone's favorite mix series since 2008, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, is back with a brand new installment that'll once again take you back in time to the glorious years that were the 90s. Some of our most popular and beloved mixes, the three prior RFUS have been epic nostalgia factories curated by Nick Catchdubs and Mr. Ducker. I'll let Mr. Ducker take it from here:
One thing that the 1990s taught us is that it's hard to keep a good franchise down, so like the creepy fisherman in I Know What You Did Last Summer, Nick Catchdubs & me, Mr. Ducker, are back with Radio Friendly Unit Shifter IV, presented as always by the volcano guys and girls at Mishka. This party mix brings together all the alternatice sounds of the '90s better than any radio station-sponsored reunion festival could (with or without a second stage).
Once again, Nick Catchdubs & I combined anti-anthems from the biggest space lord mothermothers, minor hits from major label stepchildren, and the most memorable cuts from one-and-a-half hit wonders. We even pulled out the single from that Primal Scream album with the neon confederate flag on the cover that everyone hates. And you know what? It jams. In-jokes and heavy tokes make it all go down smooth like mouthwash jukebox gasoline.
For further dispatches from my and Nick Catchdubs' RFUS-related mindstates click here. Check out the full tracklist at the Bloglin, and also be one the lookout for the Radio Friendly Unit Shifter zine, coming soon.
- Mr. Ducker
All three prior mixes have been recently reuploaded to our Soundcloud, and are easier to get than ever. Looking for a way to set any party off right? Well look no further than RFUS, RFUS '09, and RFUS III. It's been a long wait since the last one, but you better believe it was worth it.

Don't be a hero
In defense of Karen Sizemore, I think it was very unfair of Lowe's to fire her for pursuing a shoplifting suspect. Karen had worked for Lowe's for 18 years and these 18 years should account for something. I have to wonder if there were other motives for Lowe's decision to fire her. Perhaps she had build up a lot of vacation time and other benefits and Lowe's just figured it would be better for them financially to just fire the 55-year-old employee.

The Characters (Masterplots II: African American Literature, Revised Edition)
The strong will of two women provides the energy that sets the action of A Lesson Before Dying in motion. The tension between two men who both have something to learn about what it is to be a man provides the central structural principle of the novel.
Miss Emma and Tante Lou are old women in 1948, the year in which the action of the novel takes place. Both were born not long after emancipation, and both have been servants in the homes of white people. They have learned the practice of humility, as required by their position in a racially ordered society, and they also know the deeper humility that is part of their Christian faith. They also know their own worth, and they know how important that knowledge is. That is, in part, what motivates their determination that Jefferson will not go to his death thinking himself less than a man. They know what they can claim for themselves within the place society has defined for them. They employ this knowledge when they present their project to Henri Pichot, whose influence in the region makes his approval a necessity. He must acknowledge that Miss Emma has a right to ask for special consideration, for even this insane social system has its rules, but the women must in turn ask in the tones required by their position within the system. Fortunately, Miss Emma, Tante Lou, and Henri Pichot know how the game is played.
Grant and Jefferson form at first glance an obvious contrast. Grant is an...

The Characters (Masterplots II: American Fiction Series, Revised Edition)
Grant Wiggins, the protagonist, is also the novel's primary narrator, so it is chiefly his thoughts that the reader audits. He is a seeker cut adrift from his communal moorings by his education, which, ironically, seems to limit rather than expand his options. Given his time and place, he can be little other than a teacher, but his doubts about the value of trying to help the quarter children make him harsh and perfunctory, almost a martinet. Initially, he seems destined to fulfill the fate that Matthew Antoine has told him is in store for him, to become "the nigger" he was "born to be." For Grant, Jefferson's plight is all too typical of what a young, ignorant black male might expect in a white man's world, and Grant sees little point in trying to help him. He gradually warms up to his charge, however, not so much from the moral cross Tante Lou has tried to make him shoulder as his desire to prove Sheriff Guidry and others wrong. Blinded by pride, palpable resentment, and doubt, Grant does not fully understand that, in helping Jefferson, he has set out on his own spiritual odyssey, one that finally proves Matthew Antoine wrong. The reader understands, however, and knows that Paul's visit to the quarter, made from respect and admiration for Grant, signals an enduring, hopeful change.
Although Grant is hostile to Tante Lou's moral arm-twisting, she is the first important catalyst in his transformation. She will not let Grant wheedle out...

Characters Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Grant Wiggins
Grant Wiggins, who grew up in the "quarters" and has returned from a California university to teach "reading, writing, and 'rithmetic" in the plantation school. As a first-person narrator in a plot progression that is both bitter and humorous, Grant is not altogether admirable. Struggling with individual and communal concerns, he behaves from a perspective of superiority. In tragic and comedic episodes, he exhibits an ironic detachment that is neither naïve nor dispassionate but perplexingly veiled. His self-deprecatory and contemptuous voice disguises skepticism and uncertainty. Only reluctantly does he attempt the role of secular priest to a convicted man.
Jefferson, a reluctant participant in a liquor store shoot-out in which three persons are killed: Brother and Bear (the robbers) and Alcee Grope (the white owner). As the lone survivor, Jefferson is accused of planning the robbery and of murder. At his trial, the defense attorney contends that Jefferson is incapable of premeditated murder even though he behaved "like a fool" or "a cornered animal." To the outrage of Jefferson's godmother and significant others in the "quarters," the lawyer further argues, "Why, I could just as soon put a hog in the electric chair as this." Jefferson is sentenced by a panel of twelve white men to death by electrocution. Enduring the drab conditions of incarceration, Jefferson...

Haz93's Zetec S
Posted 26 February 2013 - 12:15 PM
I have been looking around for a while for a 2.0 diesel as I do alot of motorway miles and the focus was just too uneconomical.
Been looking at the new focus and the ST (decided it was not a good idea ) also the Mondeo titanium X, new golf, A3 etc..
Went looking one day and fell for an A5 cabriolet at just the top end of my budget and in the perfect spec, so I am now probably disliked by alot of people on here I hope not to live up to the typical Audi driver stereotype, I just think its such an awesome car. Was sad to let the focus go but it was way too costly to run.
I put the car back to stock before selling so I now have all the items for sale, some already on eBay (Headlights, LED rear lights, DRLs, etc)
If anyone wants anything specific please ask.
I hope to stay on here and help anyone out with the knowledge I have

Now if I see an a5 tailgating me too close I may have to think twice about ramming it off the road
What engine has it got in it n whats the spec like mate?
Posted 26 February 2013 - 01:38 PM
Its a Ibis white S line with a 2.0 TDI stop/start and 19" tri five spoke alloys. Looks amazing but not stupidly overpowered like the 3.0 TDI quattro.
Its soo much harder to mod though. to upgrade to the OEM Nav stereo unit you have to install an optical cable :S
Posted 26 February 2013 - 02:00 PM
At least its not a v######l
Glad your happy with it anyway but bad luck about being able to mod easy

Anybody else just get an email saying there backordered pre order had been cancelled?
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express - 11-04-2012, 04:50 PM #3
Just got the same thing.
I received an email about 1 hour ago stating that my order had been cancelled. Just called BestBuy and the agent told me that my order was backordered and "auto-cancelled." It seems that this may be an automatic system within BestBuy that cancels an order if it is back-ordered for too long (which in and of itself doesn't make any sense to me). The agent said that regular orders can sit in "backordered status" for a month or more, but this may be shorter for pre-orders. I asked him to attempt to re-order the phone for me on his end (since the phone is off of Best-Buy's site) and he said that the system wouldn't let him. He started a case with the "cancellation department" who would then get back to me by email within 72 hours.
If anybody pre-ordered a Lumia 920 from BestBuy on 10/21 when I did, go to their site and check your status now, or check your email for a status update and call into BestBuy and complain.
This is the most ridiculous roll out/release I have ever been a part of. - 11-04-2012, 04:54 PM #5
Last edited by vagrantwade; 11-04-2012 at 05:17 PM.
Yes it is surprising to me as my card was held twice for the amount even after the pre orders. Its the same crap from BB. I said initally i had been screwed by them on pre orders in the past, but i gave in. NEVER again will i pre order with them. I am actually losing my enthusiasm anyway. Will get the phone still for sure but the excitement of wanting to be first has left
I just checked and mine also shows that it's still an open order (but is in backorder status).
As stated, if they cancel my pre-order I'll just go over to AT&T the day they let me pre-order and get it through them.
Though I'd most certainly complain at Best Buy as well. I once complained about their video game selection and the fact that I didn't find someone in the game section at all. The store manager replied to the complaint with "sorry, but that's how it is." Their corporate office also replied by apologizing and giving me some free rewards certificates. It helps that through circumstances I've been a Rewards Silver member with them for a while due to how purchases fell (including getting friends to put their points on my card). It gets me early access to things like their black friday deals so I can't complain about that.
The cancellations sound to me like they're starting to have a better idea of their expected quantity and are realizing they can't fulfill everyone for a while. - 11-04-2012, 05:33 PM #9
I actually went to the local store and pre-ordered. Have a gift card in-hand ($50 to be used for purchasing the phone, etc.) along with the receipt, etc.
Haven't received anything else other than the original email notification that my pre-order is in the system and that I'll be notified when it's ready for pick-up at the store.
In either case - I'll be going to either AT&T or BB based on who has the device available for purchase first. If AT&T has it launch day (11/9 per BB today) with the free wireless charging station, I'll be getting it from there (and seeing if I can just get my money back on the gift card - otherwise I'll just use the gift card for something else - maybe a new wireless mouse or other gizmo, etc.).

Well, it would be interesting to know when everyone, especially those that have had their orders cancelled, originally placed their pre-order. I placed mine mid-day on the 22nd, EST.
EDIT - Mine pre-order was done online. I'm guessing those are the ones that are getting cancelled as they are the ones that have some sort of "email trail".Last edited by jkc0170; 11-04-2012 at 05:39 PM. Reason: Upated info
Yeah, I completely agree with you on that point, but I don't know if that's why they're canceling them. To me, if that was why they were doing it wouldn't they cancel everyone's instead of just some?
At least, I hope that it's just a case that they aren't canceling mine. I'd hate to get an email in a few hours saying that they knocked mine off too.
On a similar note, did you receive anything about your order through the BBY eBay mobile solutions site being canceled? - 11-04-2012, 05:46 PM #15
Also, I guess we should mention "what" we pre-ordered. Mine was for a Red one - upgrade on an existing plan.
This way, we can maybe determine if it's a "supply" issue of a certain color, or a more general issue like they shouldn't have opened the pre-order in the first place. - 11-04-2012, 05:54 PM #17
I wish I hadn't cancelled my Best Buy preorder just so I could see if mine got cancelled.
my preorder for a red 920 is still in status "backorder". I added a new line when I ordered. No upgrade. Maybe having entered a new contract saved the order from being canceled?
I canceled mine from BB earlier this week because I think that they won't get any stock just look in their forums on the iPhone 5 debacle they have.
I ordered early on the 21st before it was taken down. A white one. After my GS3 debacle i knew better, but shame on me and did it anyway. They wont ever get me again
So, just based on the very few here who have said their order was cancelled - would it be only those who could conceivably obtain their color of choice in store be the ones that are cancelled?
I and a few others who have ordered a cyan model (which you can't get walking into a store - online only) still have their orders 'in process'.
I'm also a RewardZone Silver member too, I wonder if that has anything to do with my order still being valid.Pastor of All Saints Lutheran Church in Mason, MI

Paramount Theatre
323 W. Sixth Street,
Los Angeles,
16 people favorited this theater
Opened as Grauman's Metropolitan in January 1923, the Paramount was the largest movie theater in Los Angeles for many years. Not only did it have one of the largest balconies ever built, its projector had the longest projection throw in the city.
When it was acquired by the Publix theater chain in 1929, the theater was renamed the Paramount. And to help distinguish it from other Paramount theaters in LA, the theater was also known as the Paramount Downtown.
In 1963, the Paramount was torn down to make way for a parking lot. In the early 1980's, a bank was built on this same lot.
Today, if one stands in front of the Arcade theater and look southwest towards the corner of Broadway and 6th Street, near the second or third building from the corner, you will see a faded sign for the old Paramount, the only trace of the theater still visible.

The Three Stooges Fan Club is trying to document a 1957 personal appearance of Joe Besser, Moe Howard and Larry Fine as The Three Stooges at the Paramount. This would be the only personal appearance by Besser with the Three Stooges. Any documentation, such as a newspaper ad or review would be greatly appreciated. My email address is: Thanks, Frank Reighter
Here is a January 1949 ad from the LA Times:
The Metropolitan/Paramount was the second largest movie palace ever built on the West Coast the largest was the Fox in San Francisco. My friend Dick who worked for Disney and United Artists said this was the most impressive Movie Palace in LA. brucec
When the theater went to screening B films in the late 50s a basement bar called the Metro that was a gay scene opened just east of the box office on 6th next to the alley. Also a post razing Wm.Reagh photo of the necktie stand @ the corner of Hill and 6th- it's in the picture catalog of California State Library – search terms: Reagh and Hill ( he didn't i.d. the site )
History and photos can be found here in a 2009 article by Michael Grace: View link
I think the necktie photo mentioned on 8/17 is on the Clune's Auditorium page.
An ad campaign concerning the new, modernized Paramount was in Boxoffice in June 1952.
I have now come across multiple references to George Edwin Bergstrom having been one of the architects of Grauman's Metropolitan Theatre. Both Soutnwest Builder & Contractor and the national trade publication Engineering and Contracting mention his involvement in the project. The latter publication's issue of April 27, 1921, carries this item, which mentions Bergstrom supervising construction on the project in conjunction with engineer R.C. Mitchell.
Various items in Southwest Builder & Contractor indicate that William Lee Woollett designed the interiors of the Metropolitan Theatre, but that the lead architect on the project was Bergstrom. Woollett probably designed the details on the facade of the building as well, but I haven't found any specific sources saying he did. Woollett was apparently the sole architect on the later project creating a Broadway entrance for the theater.

Comments about Lazer Pad Set For O2:
Great that these are available, however a spare set should be included as standard. I have gone through 2 sets in 18 months. I though it would be ok to wash them in the washing machine inside a garment bag, but they wear out very quickly doing that (only did with my first set). Better to clean with some specific helmet cleaner or just rinse under the tap. I bought more 2 sets to save on shipping.

I believe:
People learn and grow when they work together to solve problems that hold meaning and significance for their lives. While experts are important, they are never smarter than a group of committed individuals working together in pursuit of social justice. Here are seven short videos that offer my perspective on Social Change.
What excites me:
Everyday that I teach, I learn. What excites me about MIIS is the daily act of co-creating knowledge with people from diverse backgrounds who are idealistic about their studies, knowledgeable about the world, and passionate about building a learning community.
Nonprofit management, international organizations, poverty alleviation, third world development, international education, international health, nutrition and hunger, organizational development, program evaluation and project management

Careers in Organizational Capacity Development
Students with this concentration will be ready to help social organizations become more effective as partners, implementers and public policy advocates. They will also be able to serve as internal or external consultants on projects designed to improve institutional effectiveness. Anyone with this concentration would be well prepared to assume a leadership role within an organization. They would know how to work with a governance structure; how to shape organizational culture; and how to help stakeholders set a direction and engage in activities that lead to mission fulfillment.

Credit: course can be taken for no credit or for 4 units on a Pass/Fail basis. A certificate of completion will be awarded to participants who successfully complete all assignments.
Instructor of record: Dr. Beryl Levinger
The program will focus on use and mastery of tools and frameworks that represent "embedded theory." Tool mastery will prepare participants to foster sustainable development. The tools to be featured in the program are widely used by bilateral and multinational organizations including USAID, the World Bank, and UNDP.
Note: While there may be some content overlap with current DPMI offerings, the examples and projects will all be Rwanda-specific and focused on HIV/AIDS, education or gender.
Students who enroll will be eligible to participate in DPMI8650A (DPMI+). Students who have already completed DPMI 8698 A and/or 8698 B are also eligible to enroll. For students who have previously participated in a DPMI session, this program will allow them to hone their skills further with more elaborate assignments.

DPMI 8688 - DPMI: Cairo Practicum
DPMI-in-Cairo is hosted and co-sponsored by MIIS partner, American University in Cairo (AUC). English will be the language of instruction. DPMI-in-Cairo will combine approximately 6 days of instruction with 3-4 days of fieldwork in or near Cairo with nonprofits in the area. Participants will work in teams on behalf of an NGO partner that has worked with AUC. The traditional DPMI program has 3 modules and lasts for 15 days. DPMI-in-Cairo will primarily focus on Module #1 (program design and assessment in the context of the Millennium Development Goals) along with very brief content presentations related to facilitation (Module #2) and strategic partnering (Module #3).
Spring 2011 - MIIS
DPMI 8698 - Directed Study ▲
DPMI 8698A Foundations of Development Project Management
Participants will learn the necessary components of project design. Implementation of strategies to ensure sustainable benefits and alternative evaluation methods will also be discussed. At the module's completion, participants will create an overall evaluation plan for a project along with a detailed project implementation plan using the results framework (RF), an approach to project development that is widely used in bilateral and multinational organizations including USAID, the World Bank and UNDP.
DPMI 8698B Applied Development Project Management
This course features two modules. Participants master tools and skills needed to effectively assume the roles of facilitator, trainer, and change agent. Local human resource development is an important component in every development project. The module focuses on transferring skills to participants so they can conduct their own training programs. Topics covered include needs assessments, adult learning practices, community mobilization, stakeholder negotiation, conflict mediation, and the training of trainers. In the other module, participants, working within a context of social entrepreneurship, become proficient in the use of tools and techniques to conduct an analysis of vision and mission; identify core competencies; and forge strategic partnerships to enhance organizational effectiveness. Innovative software applications are introduced to support a simulation.
DPMI Directed Study Courses (DPMI 698):
DPMI participants may enroll in either one or two DPMI directed study courses. Although both courses carry the same number (DPMI 698), the course titles that appear on a student's transcript differ. The first DPMI 698 course (Foundations of Development Project Management) is a prerequisite for the second DPMI 698 offering (Applied Development Project Management). In other words, students may not enroll in Applied Development Project Management unless they have already completed Foundations of Development Project Management or are concurrently enrolled in it.

MPAG 8550 - Educatn&Dvlpmnt:SelectedTopics
Through readings, structured discussions, and in-class exercises, this course will explore how education is linked to poverty alleviation and Millennium Development Goal achievement in low income countries. Specific topics to be addressed include (1) gender equity and education; (2) the linkages between health status and schooling; (3) education strategies for youth and workforce development; and (4) meeting educational needs in times of crisis (war or natural disaster). We will also examine how non-governmental organizations, bilateral assistance agencies (e.g. USAID) and multilateral donors (e.g. the World Bank, UNDP) work to address these issues. The course is structured so that students develop a profound understanding of how policies and programs intimately connect to people's lives, especially the lives of people who have been marginalized through poverty and discrimination.
Spring 2013 - MIIS
MPAG 8572 / IPOL 8572 - Training and Educating Adults
The course is designed for students who expect to train adults as part of their professional work. Such training often takes place in the context of organizational capacity development or as part of efforts to empower marginalized populations. We will examine the principles of adult learning theory and explore how these principles can ground the design and delivery of training for capacity development and empowerment Topics covered include the development of training objectives; selection of appropriate training methods and resources; sequencing of learning experiences; and training evaluation. Students will work in teams to create a training module that can be delivered to a group of learners.
Special attention will be given to key elements of active pedagogy for increasing transfer of learning; constructivism; and scaffolding. Participants will learn to: conduct a simple needs assessment to support training and development activities; formulate and assess clear training objectives; select training methods appropriate to learners and program goals; design instructional activities in response to training needs and skills analyses; and optimize the impact of cultural diversity on learning goals.

Know someone with sky-high healthcare bills? You might. Three million households spend 18% of their incomes on out-of-pocket medical expenses.
It's an awful burden, on top of a crisis or chronic illness. Now you can help with GiveForward.
How it works
GiveForward is like Kickstarter for medical bills. If you have a friend or relative undergoing expensive treatment, create a web page to tell their story (pro tip: add photos or videos). Include a goal amount—it might be $500, it might be $50,000.
Then publicize! Twitter, Facebook, email—the bigger your social network, the better.
Gettin' paid
People can donate using credit, debit, or PayPal. At the end of the fundraiser, even if you haven't reached your goal, your loved one gets the money via check or PayPal.
GiveForward's fee is 7%—so for every $1,000 you raise, subtract $70. (Could you do it yourself, free? Maybe, but GiveForward handles all the tech and administrative work.)
Open your heart. Have you tried to help someone burdened by medical bills?
Join our community of ambitious women.

"Obscenity Prosecution and the Constitution"
Wednesday, March 16, 2005
Prepared Statement of Robert A. Destro**
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
Thank you for the opportunity to present testimony this afternoon. It is an honor for me to be here, and to be given the opportunity to speak to the important public policy issues that concern us today.
Please let me begin by making my perspective on these issues clear. By training and experience I am a civil rights advocate who litigates and studies cases that arise at the boundary the First and Fourteenth Amendments create between legitimate regulation in the public interest and the protected space that the Constitution reserves for religious freedom, speech, press, peaceable assembly, and petition for redress of grievances. It is precisely because I am an advocate for the freedoms we associate with the First and Fourteenth Amendment that I am appearing before the Committee today.
If there is one thing that I have learned as an advocate for religious freedom in all its forms - equal protection, speech, press, exercise, non-establishment, assembly, and petition - is that reliable protection for constitutional rights exists only within a well-crafted statutory framework. Unlike many First Amendment advocates, I do not place my trust in the courts. My clients and I have learned the hard way that, when left to their own devices, the courts do not always live up to their reputations as reliable defenders of liberty, equality, or the common good. Meaningful protection comes from the hard-fought legislation forged by our elected representatives - the members of this Congress and representatives at the state and local levels - who bear primary responsibility for the protection of our civil and human rights.
OBSCENITY, THE CONSTITUTION, AND Extreme Associates v. United States
The decision in United States v. Extreme Associates is a classic example of the way in which a rights-based analysis will, without careful analysis, expand to the limits of its logic and produce absurd results. But the fault is not Judge Lancaster's alone. Congress, the courts, and the legal academy all share part of the blame for a case in which the law has gone so badly awry.
It is well settled that obscenity is not protected by the First Amendment. Almost half a century ago, in Roth v. United States, 354 U.S. 476 (1957), Justice William Brennan - whose vision of civil liberties, and of the Court's role in protecting them, was perhaps the most expansive of any Justice in Supreme Court history - stated flatly that at the time of the adoption of the First Amendment, obscenity "was outside the protection intended for speech and press." Id. at 483. That position was affirmed in Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15 (1973), in which the Court stated that it was "categorically settled . . . that obscene material is unprotected by the First Amendment."
The Miller Court established a three-part test for discerning obscenity that federal judges still apply in obscenity cases.
(a) whether the 'average person applying contemporary community standards' would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest;
(b) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law; and
(c) whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value." Id. at 24.
Under Miller, "prurient interest" is defined by community standards, id. at 30, and in Haling v. United States, 418 U.S. 87, 106 (1974), the Court held that "[t]he result of the Miller cases ... is to permit a juror sitting in obscenity cases to draw on knowledge of the community or vicinage from which he comes in deciding what conclusion 'the average person, applying contemporary community standards' would reach in a given case." 418 U.S. at 105. As a result, "[t]he fact that distributors of allegedly obscene materials may be subjected to varying community standards in the various federal judicial districts into which they transmit the materials does not render a federal statute unconstitutional because of the failure of application of uniform national standards of obscenity." 418 U.S. at 106
Even though broadband communication links make direct producer to consumer distribution possible, the Court has not retreated. In Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, 521 U.S. 844, 877-78 (1997), the Court stated that "the community standards criterion, as applied to the internet, means that any communication available to a nation-wide audience will be judged by the standards of the community most likely to be offended by the message."
Hence, it is no surprise that Judge Lancaster did not deem it necessary to discuss the Supreme Court's obscenity jurisprudence. Because the First Amendment does not protect "obscenity," and a jury determines whether the challenged materials are "obscene," the only way that the defendants in Extreme Associates could avoid a jury trial on the merits was the formulation of a new constitutional standard that would mandate the dismissal of the indictment.
Enter Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003). In Judge Lancaster's view, an individual has a "fundamental right to possess and view what he pleases in his own home." By the simple expedient of reading the Court's holding in Stanley v. Georgia, 394 U.S. 557, 568 (1969) that "the First and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit making mere private possession of obscene material a crime" together with its holding in Lawrence v. Texas that the state may not criminalize consensual sodomy that occurs in the privacy of the home he reaches the rather extraordinary conclusion that Extreme Associates "[constitutional] challenge is not precluded by Roth, Reidel, Thirty-Seven Photographs, Orito, and 200-Ft. Reels, but is instead guided by cases such as Stanley, Griswold v. Connecticut, Roe v. Wade, and Lawrence v. Texas."
Judge Lancaster has committed of the most basic errors in constitutional law: "forget[ting] that it is a constitution we are expounding." The Supreme Court has stated repeatedly that "[t]he First and Fourteenth Amendments have never been treated as absolutes," Miller v. California, 413 U.S. at 23. It has categorically rejected the proposition that "obscene, pornographic films acquire constitutional immunity from state regulation simply because they are exhibited for consenting adults only." Paris Adult Theater v. Slaton, 413 U.S. 49, 57 (1973), and it has specifically held that "there are legitimate state interests at stake in stemming the tide of commercialized obscenity, even assuming it is feasible to enforce effective safeguards against exposure to juveniles and to passersby." Id. Even the most generous reading of Stanley, Griswold, Roe v. Wade, and Lawrence does not support the proposition that there must be a "free market" in pornography.
The answer to this question is an emphatic "no." I will leave to others the task of describing the individual and community devastation (including slavery, brutality, and murder) caused by those engaged in the sex trade, but I do want to take this opportunity to describe why this Committee needs to view the "pornography issue" in a more global context.
The production and distribution of pornography is part and parcel of a global sex trade that employs "sex workers" , film and video producers, distributors like Extreme Associates, IT experts, and the financiers who provide the capital to bring these "productions" to market. Broadband and cable providers provide the final link in a worldwide distribution chain that allows willing consumers to watch as "sex workers" around the globe ply their trade.
Unlike Judge Lancaster, I am unwilling to ignore either the commercial aspects of the global sex trade in which Extreme Associates is engaged, or the devastation that the global sex trade wreaks in the lives of individuals and communities. The United States finds itself in the unenviable position of defending laws against the assertion that they violate the consumer's constitutional right to privacy because the courts are unwilling to address the real question: Do the producers have any right to make create a market in which graphic sex is bought and sold like any other commodity?
The answer to this question is an emphatic "No," but the fact that it needs to be asked shows just how confused (and confusing) the law of obscenity has become. The current definition of "obscenity" and of "lewd" or "lascivious" behaviors depends on an entirely subjective analysis of the degree to which they would appeal to the "prurient interest" of the hypothetical "reasonable observer." (This is the "I know it when I see it test." )
When a jury finds that materials are not "obscene," it is easy to assume, even though the Court has never so held, that the commercial aspects of the behaviors depicted in these materials is protected. It is not. Judge Lancaster's opinion makes precisely that assumption. In his view, the fact that the Court has held that individuals have a constitutionally protected right to engage in consensual sexual behavior in the privacy of their own homes, and that they may not be prosecuted for mere possession of pornography depicting "adult" sexual behavior, means that the government's right to regulate the commercial aspects of the sex trade must be defended under a multifactor balancing analysis (the "compelling state interest" test) that the United States Supreme Court itself has held to be unconstitutionally vague . This, I respectfully submit, makes no sense at all.
Such a standard, as applied by the courts, does not provide our elected representatives the guidance they need to legislate in the public interest. The legal academy provides no better guidance. In its view, the idea that the First Amendment does not permit the imposition of any "moral code" (other than its own version of political correctness) is one of those "fundamental assumptions [that] appear so obvious that people do not know what they are assuming because no other way of putting things has ever occurred to them." Judge Lancaster's opinion in Extreme Associates demonstrates why the law of obscenity developed by the courts is such a mess.
Existing pornography laws are clearly enforceable. I strongly believe that the states and the Department of Justice should enforce them, but it should not be surprising that civil libertarians would oppose aggressive enforcement. Unless and until this Congress comes to grips with the fact that pornography is no more about "sex" than rape is, the confusion will continue.
Pornography is about money, and those who sell it traffic in materials that are an affront to the human dignity of the men and women who, for whatever reason, engage in sex-for-hire. The Commerce Clause gives Congress ample power to regulate the multi-billion dollar global sex trade, and Judge Lancaster's calculated omission of any discussion of the obscenity cases demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt why the First Amendment is utterly irrelevant to the questions before the Committee today.
IS THE DECISION IN Extreme Associates AN EXAMPLE OF JUDICIAL ACTIVISM?
The short answer to this question is "yes," but a few words of explanation are in order before developing the idea further.
Defining "Judicial Activism"
The meaning of the phrase "judicial activism" varies widely from person to person and from left to right on the political spectrum. Professor Mark Tushnet provides a useful typology when he notes that there are at least six meanings of the term "activist:"
(1) When courts decide issues not actually before them,
(2) When courts readily disregard precedent without first having determined that actual "problems have[] arisen in the administration of the [prior] rule,"
(3) When courts make decisions that "substitute[] the judgment of unelected judges for those of elected decision makers,"
(4) When courts engage in certain uses and abuses of "the jurisprudence of 'original intention,'"
(5) When courts accept the principle that "an activist court is an arm of an activist government," and
(6) When used as a word of "praise" or "blame."
Professor Stephen F. Smith of the University of Virginia provides a useful reality check concerning the use of the term "judicial activism." When used in the "praise" or "blame" sense identified by Tushnet, Professor Smith notes that "[t]he term serves principally as the utmost judicial put-down, a polemical, if unenlightening, way of expressing strong opposition to a judicial decision or approach to judging."
For present purposes, I am using the term "judicial activism", not as a "put down," but as a way to describe a decision in which:
? A court obviously and "readily disregard[s] precedent without first having determined that actual "problems have[] arisen in the administration of the [prior] rule."
In Extreme Associates, Judge Lancaster makes it very clear that "after Stanley established the right to privately possess obscenity in one's home, the Supreme Court repeatedly refused to recognize a correlative First Amendment right to distribute such material." He also makes it clear that in United States v. Orito "the Court engaged in a rational basis analysis and held that the obscenity statutes could be justified as a method of protecting the public morality." He nevertheless ignores both lines of authority, and oversteps the bounds of the role assigned to him as a United States District Judge.
? A court makes a decision that "substitutes the judgment of unelected judges for those of elected decision makers."
Judge Lancaster is entitled to his opinion that there is no real distinction between the privacy of the home and the creation and maintenance of a worldwide sex market, but Article III does not authorize him to substitute that judgment for that of either the United States Supreme Court - which has not had occasion to address the question - or for that of this Congress, which is explicitly granted the authority and discretion to create, maintain, regulate, and destroy interstate and international markets in goods and services. This Congress can, and I am quite sure, will weigh in on the question of whether there should be an interstate and international market where sex is bought and sold like any other commodity, and where voyeurs need not go to a house of prostitution to enjoy a peep show.
? When courts accept the principle that "an activist court is an arm of an activist government."
Perhaps the most telling evidence that Extreme Associates is an example of "judicial activism" is Judge Lancaster's almost laughable justification for extending the substantive due process reasoning of Lawrence v. Texas. In his view, Lawrence v. Texas requires the judicial imposition of a regime of laissez-faire in the sex trade because
[Current law is] based on the settled rule established in Roth that obscenity is not protected speech under the First Amendment. The motion in this case, however, does not raise a First Amendment challenge to the federal obscenity statutes; it raises a substantive due process challenge. The fact that the obscenity statutes have been upheld under one constitutional provision does not mean that they are immune from all constitutional attack. See e.g. Boos v. Barry, 485 U.S. 312, 108 S.Ct. 1157, 99 L.Ed.2d 333 (1988) (statute did not violate the Equal Protection Clause, but did violate the First Amendment); see also R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul, 505 U.S. 377, 383-84, 112 S.Ct. 2538, 120 L.Ed.2d 305 (1992) (finding that the fact that obscenity is not protected speech under the First Amendment does not mean that it is "entirely invisible to the Constitution").
Neither the Supreme Court nor the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has considered a substantive due process challenge to the federal obscenity statutes by a vendor arguing that the laws place an unconstitutional burden, in the form of a complete ban on distribution, on an individual's fundamental right to possess and view what he pleases in his own home, as established in Stanley. Therefore, contrary to the government's position, defendants' challenge is not precluded by Roth, Reidel, Thirty-Seven Photographs, Orito, and 200-Ft. Reels, but is instead guided by cases such as Stanley, Griswold v. Connecticut, Roe v. Wade, and Lawrence v. Texas.
The problem with this reasoning is - or should be - obvious. It is not possible, either realistically or theoretically, to draw such a distinction. In the present case, where the Bill of Rights is directly applicable to the Congress, Judge Lancaster's opinion would make no sense at all unless it rested the "privacy" interests that control the outcome on foundation of First Amendment "principles" described at a very high level of generality. As applied to the States, the fallacy would be crystal clear: the Incorporation Doctrine is itself a pristine example of substantive due process in action .
Is Congress Partially to Blame?
The answer to this question is also "yes." The United States Supreme Court has made it clear that it is uncomfortable with the concept of "obscenity," both on its face and as applied. A slim majority of the Rehnquist Court and most of the legal academy is also uncomfortable with traditional moral views concerning the propriety of sex and sex-related issues like abortion and same-sex "marriage." The voting public, however, is not.
It is time for Congress to get down to the hard work of defining - with some degree of precision - what kinds of behavior are permissible in the interstate and international markets and which are not? Viewed as an economic transaction, the sale of an explicit sex or violence video is simply the sale of a commodity (a disk or videotape) or a service (sex-for-hire). If Congress wants to get serious about regulating the burgeoning market in the sex trade, it has both the power and the resources to get the job done. Sex-for-hire has a name: prostitution. Hiring someone to have sex so that others can watch is pandering. Hawking the wares of prostitutes also has a name: pimping.
In short, perhaps it is time to call Judge Lancaster's bluff. Legislating against "obscenity" makes for good press, but leaves the heavy lifting to the courts. Calling things by their proper names places the burden right where it belongs: here in the Congress.
The "compelling state interest" test is a staple of Constitutional Law 101. Judge Lancaster's opinion gets it exactly right:
... a statute withstands a substantive due process challenge only if the state identifies a compelling state interest that is advanced by a statute that is narrowly drawn to serve that interest in the least restrictive way possible.
Law students learn the "compelling state interest" test like a mantra, and dutifully memorize the "steps" in a variety of analyses that basically do the same thing: "balance" the legislature's views of the limits of its authority against the judge's views that they have exceed it.
The reality, however, is far different. The "compelling state interest" test is only used when the judges have decided, in advance, that the state's interest is illegitimate. In cases where the state wins, the "compelling state interest" test is rarely - if ever - used. In fact, the "compelling state interest" analysis works in reverse: (1) when the interest is clearly legitimate, and (2) the means is narrowly tailored to achieving that interest, the state will win, and the term "compelling" is never used.
Explaining how all this works in the time allotted here is far beyond the scope of the task assigned to me by the Chairman, but the bottom line is this: If the courts really believe that there is no legitimate interest in regulating the interstate and international sex market, this Congress should write legislation that forces them to say so explicitly. If there is such an interest, Judge Lancaster's opinion should be reversed. It's that simple. The First Amendment has nothing to do with it.
Thank you for your attention.

Grafton, WV
Birthday: November 26
Why do you love stop motion? The way you can bring life to pretty much any object. Also because of the sculpting that is usually involved in it is a lot of fun!
What is your best stop motion skill? I would have to say the animating part or maybe the sculpting not really sure. Havent got to do stop motion for a while wish i could.
What was your biggest accomplishment in animation? so far it would have to be creating an entire set 2 characters and animating it and then editing it with title and credits own personal film about 3 min long
What are your future plans in animation? I am currently enrolled at Full Sail University and i am in the process of changing programs to the computer animation but i plan to stick more to the matte painting, compositing, concept art side of animation/film. I will still love stop motion because of the uniqueness of it

Jason Satin Soap Liquid Herbal Extracts -- 16 fl oz
Love it!
The name " herbal" sounds like a stronger scent, but the scent is really delightful. I don't like overwhelming or sweet scents. This is just perfect. Another big plus is that these soaps are paraben free.
October 1, 2012
Love Jason products
All the Jason liquid saps are great. I've tried most of them and each has a lovely scent and is moisturizing to use.
August 21, 2012
Wonderful scent
I love this soap. The scent is very pleasing, and calming. Not to mention, it works very well. I will definitely buy this one again.
July 9, 2012
Trustworthy Brand
Jason has been the main pump hand and face liquid soap in my home. I am just as happy about this product as with the others but I gave it 4 stars overall because the scent reminds me of lotion and has an old-fashioned way about it. While I still love it, it's the least favorite of mine scent-wise. It is pleasant, just not interesting. The Tea Tree is my favorite, followed by Rosewater and then Lavender.
September 6, 2010
great hand soap
nice scent, cleans well. My kids love it. I love the fact that it is all natural!
