All's well at last...
Thank you SO much for all your prayers and well wishes for Mr E.
The gastro bug (stomach flu) was indeed nasty, and I had to keep my nurses cap on fairly tight for 48 hours, but my beloved has come through it all and gallantly ridden off today back to the mine - a bit the worse for wear, but intent on regaining good health as quickly as possible.
Thankfully I was spared from following in his footsteps, only succumbing to a migraine yesterday - probably from worry.
Before he left we shared these fresh fruits as an extra dose of healthy fluids before his very hot five hour ride..
Due to Mr E's illness we missed our son's birthday.
On the big day we could only chat with Sam on the phone, but both his sisters came to the rescue and one took him to lunch, whilst the other delivered pizza to his door for dinner! Family are so important, aren't they!?
Finally this morning Mr E was able to drop into Sam's work to deliver his gift, and now we've rescheduled a birthday dinner for all the family next Thursday.
I've shared before about the lack of fly screen on our tropical home and how ghastly this is on hot summer nights when the bugs from the mango trees invade our home. Worse though, are the wasps flying through our open louvres looking for places to build nests!
We kill as many as we can, but the nests can be found behind wardrobes, shelving, on curtains...they seem to build anywhere and everywhere.
We really need the louvres open during the night for fresh air while we sleep, and in the early mornings for a view (I hate houses all shut up), but the bugs, wasps and mosquitoes are a hazard to health and sewing.
After a year of pleading, our landlord has consented to having fly screens installed!! \o/\o/\o/
Today Jim arrived with his assistant and began the work....
The job will take a few days, but already we have 4 windows covered and are so grateful. When Mr E returns home next Wednesday he'll be able to rest from the wasp-exterminating and enjoy the fresh air without bugs.
We have other pests too, but fortunately these ones stay outside.The bats are still going crazy in the mango trees outside our bedroom, and the ground underneath is littered with their scraps...
We have many hundreds of mangoes on both trees, but we cannot eat them due to the bats having bitten into them or scratched them. Honestly, nights here are pretty crazy with bats outside your windows and doors. The sky is black with them at sunset, and the smell is awful, but we live just 200 metres from the colony so there is no avoiding it. Life in the tropics has it's ups and downs, just more downs during the hot months.
Have you heard of Quilt Aid?
This is the third year it has been running, with proceeds being donated to the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital. The hospital is dedicated to the treatment and care of women who suffer horrendous childbirth injuries, known as obstetric fistula.
There are twelve different blocks to purchase, and six different finishing kits to make up a quilt. A portion of the designers proceeds from the sale of the blocks, and the fabric store's quilt kits, is donated to the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital.
I can't afford to purchase all twelve blocks, but I did purchased six of them, and two arrived this week...
The theme is "Whimsy and Wonder", and the designers involved have outdone themselves with the gorgeous block designs! It was very hard to choose which six to purchase.
I also bought the recommended thread kit because I've never used Finca threads and wondered what they'd be like.
The fabric used in the blocks is "Ruby" by Bonnie and Camille, and as I have some "Ruby" in my stash I'll use it to make the six blocks I've purchased into a lap quilt.
You can visit the website HERE for more information.
I should tell you that while Mr E was resting during his illness, I quietly stitched...
...a new design for Creating Country Threads magazine next year. Can you guess the theme?
Sorry this blog post has been all higgeldy piggeldy tonight. Think I am needing to catch up on some sleep. :-)
Have a wonderful weekend!
PS: Someone asked what a "pillion wife" was? It's a wife who doesn't ride a motorbike herself, but sits behind her husband instead. :-)

How wonderful to be surrounded by so much 'nature'... but I understand your pain with them being pests.
I wanted to buy some of the Quilt Aid blocks this year, but I haven't even opened the blocks that I bought from the last one! Like you, I couldn't afford the whole lot so only bought 4 and some fabric to make them into a quilt. They're sitting in my "to do some time when I feel the urge" pile. This years blocks are so pretty too and I love the fabric! I wish I had the money (and the time) to justify buying a few.
It's always nice to receive feedback on a blog post, so *thank you* for taking time to comment!
I will try to reply - unless it's a giveaway post - so make sure you leave an email address for me to find you.

Had this on tap at Hops and Crafts in Nashville. Pretty nice sweet porter. Roasted malts and strong but not overpowering vanilla notes. I didn't get as much coffee flavoring as I'd expected. Very creamy mouthfeel. Dark brown color with a light tan head. I think a little underrated.

U.S. regulators say listening to small banks' Basel concerns
- Tweet
- Share this
WASHINGTON Nov 14 (Reuters) - U.S. bank regulators sought to reassure lawmakers on Wednesday that they will incorporate community banks' concerns as regulators finish up new rules requiring financial firms to hold more capital.
Officials from the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency told a U.S. Senate Banking Committee hearing that they are considering industry comments on rules proposed to implement an international capital agreement.
They said they could tweak the rules to make it easier for small banks to comply.
The Basel III capital agreement is considered one of the most critical reform efforts to make sure the global banking system is more resilient in the aftermath of the 2007-2009 financial crisis.
But some critics say U.S. regulators' plans to implement the rules would unfairly hurt community banks.
"The Federal Reserve believes capital requirements that improve the quantity and quality of regulatory capital would benefit the resiliency of all banking organizations regardless of size," said Michael Gibson, head of the Fed's banking regulation division.
"However, as we consider comments from industry participants and other interested parties regarding the proposed regulatory capital requirements, the Federal Reserve, along with the other banking agencies, will remain sensitive to concerns expressed by community banking organizations," he said.
Under the proposed rules, banks would have to hold about three times more basic capital to protect against potential losses. The biggest banks would hold even more.
The amount of reserve capital that banks must hold would be determined, in part, by the riskiness of their assets.
Banks have agreed that they need to hold more capital to guard against losses, but have criticized the particulars of the proposed rules.
Large banks say the rules go too far in forcing them to hold extra capital. Smaller banks have argued that extra compliance costs could hamper lending and stifle the U.S. economic recovery. Both have said the formulas to determine how much capital to hold for riskier assets are too complicated.
Some regulators have proposed exempting smaller banks from that formula-based portion of the rules, while others have suggested throwing out the rules entirely.
Sheila Bair, a former head of the FDIC who remains an outspoken reform advocate, said in a statement on Wednesday that regulators should implement Basel III for the biggest banks first.
U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, a Colorado Democrat, said during the hearing that small banks in his state are frustrated that they will face higher costs even though they were largely not responsible for the systemic problems during the financial crisis.
"They really worry that they're going to be driven out of business and that this is going to lead to consolidation," Bennet said. "If the market is driving consolidation, that's one thing. But if it's because of the regulatory burden that's solving a problem that doesn't actually exist in the community banks, that may not be the greatest answer."
Some lawmakers also said the models to figure out how much capital to hold for certain assets may be too complex and questioned whether some sovereign debt should be viewed as riskier than under the Basel rules as proposed.
After receiving more than 1,500 comment letters on the proposed rules, the three bank regulatory agencies said last week that banks would not have to comply with the new rules in January, as previously expected.
The officials at the hearing on Wednesday said they expect the requirements to change before a final rule is released.
"We have not reached decisions on any of these matters," said George French, deputy director for policy in the FDIC's risk-management division. "We anticipate making changes in response to comments."
The officials could not say when the final capital rules would be complete.

Puu Poa condo description
Exciting news!, This past year we replaced all kitchen appliances with new professional grade stainless steel KitchenAid appliances. Perfect for our visiting culinary experts!
We are one of the few (if not only) Puu Poa residences with all NEW furniture installed the past 18 months. We do not just select any condo rental package, these selections are high end designer made pieces anyone would love to have in their own home (think McGuire).
All furniture was selected from from C.S. Woo, Honolulu, one of the premier providers of high end furnishings. We also had new HORIZONS Blinds installed on all bedroom windows, added accent pieces throughout, and one very LARGE custom designed area rug for the living room. It gets better, with recent improvements to the bathrooms including cherry cabinetry, slab Italian Calacutta Marble counters, Hansgrohe fixtures, and Toto toilets.
As always we are excited to provide a superior option for your vacation dollar.
Our current $299 PER NIGHT++ SPECIAL DATES ARE:
Our Pu'u Poa residence is a luxurious two-bedroom oceanfront condominium with large windows and generous lanais from which to enjoy spectacular whitewater views. With elegant interiors and the most modern conveniences, you can enjoy a uniquely designed and decorated home, along with the personal touches you expect.
At nearly 2000 square feet (interior and lanais), this condominium is furnished to reflect the island's casual yet elegant atmosphere. The fully-equipped kitchen has recently been updated with new cabinetry, granite counters, and appliances. Mattresses are top of the line, with Italian Estate Sateen sheets. Baths have Egyptian Cotton towels and we have provided plush spa robes for your use while a guest. Laundry options were updated with full-sized Samsung front loading washer and dryer.
We provide the same amenities (towels, sheets, shampoo, soaps) in our condo which we use in our home.
Art and island décor selected during travels throughout Hawaii and the Pacific Rim are displayed to ensure your vacation will be memorable and spectacular. For those with technical needs, two high speed (secured) Internet options are available for contact with the rest of the world.
Just below Pu'u Poa is "Hideaways Beach". You can hike down a short, but steep, trail to the base of the ocean bluff and find this secluded beach with unparalleled views of Bali Hai.
Spectacular diving and coral reef snorkeling is found in these parts as the gentle waves provide for a host of coral and marine life unsustainable in other parts of the world.
Having the five-star St. Regis Hotel as your 'out-of-sight' neighbor allows you to easily enjoy shopping, island activities, and world-class dining in three gourmet restaurants, each offering a variety of island flavors along with magnificent views. Not to be missed are the sunsets from the 'Living Room' bar. Pamper yourself with award-winning spa treatments in the newly built Princeville Spa, enjoy an elegant romantic dinner at one of many five star restaurants, and end your day with a quiet moment, feeling the ocean breeze, back on your private lanai.
Location, attention to detail, and quality, combine to make this the perfect vacation choice for your discriminating lifestyle.

Wonderful Princeville Home
Wonderful Princeville Home

- Review Submitted 04/30/13
My wife and I recently spent 9 wonderful days in the beautiful Puu Poa home and couldn't have been more pleased. The home is wonderfully maintained, beautifully furnished, and by far the most comfortable that we have ever rented. The views of whales, dolphins, sunsets and simple stillness from the Lanai are beyond words. We loved Princeville and nearby Hanalei, and spent all of our time enjoying the North Shore of this very special and beautiful island. Lastly, the owners of this home went out of their way to ensure that we had a wonderful stay. We were extremely appreciative of the long list of island recommendations that they sent to us ahead of our arrival - all were spot on. We can't thank them enough, and will most definitely return.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

This is a great condo, with fantastic views, plenty of beaches and quiet neighbors. We loved our stay and grilled out on the patio nearly every night. John helped us arrange everything -- restaurants, beaches, bars -- complete with a detailed guide with everything you need to know about the area. The kitchen was well stocked, the linens were nice and the home has great new furnishings. The beach toys and accessories made our trip as we could go anywhere in Kauai and have what we need to enjoy the sun and sand! Highly recommend and would love to go back someday!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Let me start by saying that we did A LOT of research before finally deciding to stay at this condo at Puu Poa. We visited all of the VRBO style websites, expedia, etc. With that said, we were VERY happy with our decision to stay at this condo. John was so incredibly generous with his time and made sure that every detail had been accounted for when preparing us for our trip. He was wonderful with providing information on amenities within the complex, places to visit, restaurants to try (and not try) and of course, beaches to visit. Speaking of which, the beach directly out in front of this condo is not nearly as difficult to access as some people lead you to believe. We had our 16 month old with us and we just put her in the baby bjorn and walked down - it only takes a few minutes. The condo itself is immaculate and stunning. It has not only been well maintained but you can tell that a great deal of time has been spent in upgrades / updates. The views are spectacular and everyone that we came in contact with at Puu Poa was incredibly friendly. We will absolutely stay here again when visiting Kauai and highly recommend that others do the same.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

We checked in on 1/10/12 and stayed for three nights. The condo is wonderful and the views are amazing. It had all the comforts of home. We really enjoyed the BBQ every day and sitting out on the lanai looking out at the ocean. Its just a few steps from the St Regis which has a killer view from the bar (you must check it out at Sunset). The condo was very clean and well maintained. John the owner was great at answering any questions we had and is more than happy to give reccomendations. We would definitely stay here again in the future.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.

We checked in on 01/02/12, fantastic way to start put the new year. The property is well taken care of and the condo is better than the pictures. The view from the condo is amazing! The pictures just can't capture how spectacular the scene really is. Every morning my husband walked down the little steep trail to Hideaways to surf and I'd stand on the lanai watching him taking pictures. Looking forward to going back in the summer months to snorkel there. The furnishing is exactly as described. Beautifully decorated in that chic but comfortable, Tommy Bahama island style. The bed is super comfy. Loved getting into it after active days on the beaches and hiking trails. Being right there in the north shore, all the best beaches and hiking trails are close by. The only negative I can say is that the tv in the master suite is not really worth watching. It's too small and the bed railing is too high to even see it. Didn't really bother us since we aren't much of tv watchers. Having said that, the set in the living room was great to watch the football playoffs while BBQing. We had a wonderful time, all the comforts of home with a priceless view. I loved the little details of Khiels toiletries and island soap from Island candles. Oh, btw, the condo could use some candles. They had everything we could want except candles. Next time I'll bring some. We loved the iPod dock station too. Made listening to downloaded music much more enjoyable. One last thing, thank you for providing wifi. We absolutely loved everything about our stay!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

My husband and I just returned from a ten day trip to Kauai and staying at this Puu Poa condo was a real highlight of the trip. We have been to Kauai before many times and stayed in wonderufl places but nothing like this! It was extremely clean and very well appointed in furnishings and supplies. The extras such as boogie boards and beach chairs were wonderful. The view was matchless. We enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning, a nice walk in the neighborhood most days, and then off to a series of adventures. Coming home at night was great because we had such pleasant surroundings and great privacy. The onsite property manger was really helpful with suggestions for locals-only places to go. Overall, I give this place an "11" on a scale of 1 to 10!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

We arrived to a condo in wonderful condition. John was very easy to work with from the very first contact, during the stay and afterwards. They have worked hard at doing upgrades to make the stay wonderful. I have stayed in several units at Puu Poa; this was the nicest unit of them all. This unit has everything you need to fix meals and play in the ocean. Michelle\RussRecommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.

WWE: 7 Reasons Why AJ Needs a Character Change
By Drake Oz ,
Not all that long ago, AJ Lee was the hottest act in the WWE.
There was more buzz about her than CM Punk and even Daniel Bryan, and she managed to find herself consistently stealing the show on both Raw and SmackDown.
But now that seems like such a distant memory.
Ever since AJ stepped into her new role as the Raw general manager on Raw 1000, she's struggled to find her identity, and rather than being one of the must-see acts on TV every week, she's become just another part of the show.
I don't want to act like this is a do-or-die scenario here because AJ is still in a better situation than the vast majority of the WWE roster, but I do think she needs to change things up a bit. Right now.
Here are seven reasons why AJ badly needs a character change.
This would be true regardless who Raw's general manager was—the position is completely unnecessary.
Let me just put it this way: Why can matches still be made one week when Raw doesn't have a GM, but then the WWE feels the need to have a GM to make matches the next?
It doesn't really seem to make sense when some matches just happen and then other matches are announced by AJ. Are we supposed to assume that she already made those matches or that someone else made them?
What about when a superstar reveals that he's facing someone that night? Did AJ tell him that, or did he just make the match himself?
I think you get the point. It's that the GM position has so many inconsistencies that it's become totally irrelevant and unnecessary, especially since AJ has stepped into the role.
Essentially, she's there just to be there, and the WWE is destroying any interest I had in her character by putting her in a position that ultimately means absolutely nothing.
It's a waste of AJ to stick her in a role that never accomplishes what it should and, at least in my view, hurts the quality of Raw each week because of the inconsistent way it is booked by the creative team.
Some of you may be thinking that changing AJ's character again (which would be her third character change in a relatively short span) would simply be too much.
But the gimmick that AJ thrived in the most was her "crazy chick" persona, and what do crazy chicks do? Change their minds all the time.
It would be perfectly fitting for AJ's former "crazy chick" gimmick (which she's somewhat abandoned) if she just consistently changed her character month by month. After all, that's what made her so popular over the summer.
She'd be happy one week, sad the next and then angry the next, essentially thriving in her former role as a bipolar-like woman, which often made for very entertaining TV.
Were AJ to go through another character change, it would essentially be her reverting back to her "crazy chick" character. Yet at the same time, she'd technically be a new character if she was switching up from her rather bland GM role and bringing out new emotions each and every week.
Rather than being a mundane GM, she should let her bipolar personality disorder shine through each week again.
After witnessing all of AJ Lee's fantastic performances over the summer, the WWE audience's expectations of her are now ridiculously high.
She did so well in her role as the "crazy chick" earlier this year that we now almost expect her to deliver those awesome performances on a consistent basis. If she doesn't, we're going to be left disappointed.
Needless to say, I think we've been disappointed more often than not lately. But it's really the fault of the creative team as opposed to AJ.
She's still doing really well as a performer. It's just that the material for her isn't as good, a result of what looks like no clear-cut direction for the future of her character.
As a result, our lofty expectations of AJ aren't being met, and should the WWE want to change that, then perhaps a character change needs to take effect.
Although I enjoy watching AJ and think she's one of the top breakout stars of 2012, she was so good at her peak that we've come to anticipate that she'll deliver memorable performances each and every week.
Either we need to tone down our expectations, the WWE needs to change things up for AJ a bit or perhaps even a little bit of both need to occur.
AJ Lee is the most well-rounded female performer on the WWE roster.
She can wrestle, she's an above-average actor, she can work the mic and she has a charisma about her that has gotten her ridiculously over with the fans.
All of those things are currently being wasted, however, because AJ isn't really getting the same opportunities to show off her skills that she was getting over the summer.
Just a few months ago, she was consistently cutting promos, getting involved in major segments and actually wrestling, too. Now, she doesn't do much beyond get involved in referee controversies or make matches.
That's a shame because it's depriving AJ of utilizing her talents that helped propel her to new heights over the summer. When she was given the opportunity to shine in all phases of pro wrestling, she did just that.
But she's now being limited with what she can do, and as a result, she is struggling to make the sort of impact that she was consistently making not all that long ago.
Perhaps I'm being a bit over-analytical here, but it seems as if AJ has struggled to find an identity over the last couple of months.
During the peak of her great run back in June and July, we knew she was the "crazy chick" who would do insane things week after week and essentially thrived on being that bipolar-like girl that everyone knows at least one of.
Now, however, AJ's character seems to be left in a state of flux, and she has no true identity, instead being booked on the fly rather than for the long term.
When she was the "crazy chick" who was involved with Kane, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, we knew what her role was, and we knew that on each episode of Raw or SmackDown she was going to do something that was borderline insane.
While AJ is still somewhat in that "crazy" role, it's a lot less defined now, and it has significantly less depth than it did just a few short months ago.
I still think AJ is a good performer. I just don't see any real direction with her current character.
One thing I've found to be very odd about AJ's current GM character is that she hasn't used it to her advantage whatsoever.
Rather than utilizing her power to get in the ring and make her way into the mix for the Divas Championship, her position as GM has taken her even further away from the squared circle.
If I remember correctly, AJ hasn't wrestled a match on TV since taking over as GM, which is basically proof that she's probably not going to be wrestling much as long as she's in that role.
After all, the Board of Directors issued an order that she is forbidden to touch anyone under WWE contract (a stipulation that she broke by slapping Paul Heyman), which essentially guarantees that she's going to stay out of the ring.
Either way, AJ is one of the WWE's most talented Divas, and with Kelly Kelly gone and the likely upcoming departure of Beth Phoenix, the Divas division needs to have someone it can build around.
That someone should be AJ, but as long as she's stuck in her current role, that likely won't happen.
Over the summer, AJ Lee was arguably the most intriguing character on WWE TV.
She broke down barriers by consistently being involved in main-event angles and show-closing segments, and she became the most talked-about Diva that we've seen in several years.
But from pretty much the night she became Raw's GM, her character has regressed considerably.
Once one of the most developed characters in the company, AJ has become rather bland and mundane since taking over as GM. Although she's still in a better position than most people on the main roster, she's not at anywhere near the level she was just a few short months ago.
I think that can be attributed to the GM role/character severely limiting what she can do and taking away the uniqueness that made her so successful over the summer.
AJ needs to regain her identity, and in order to do so, she needs to drop this not-so-exciting GM character and find something new.
At the very least, the creative team needs to give her something more to do than make tag team matches. That's what Teddy Long was for.

A bot to go where no bot has gone before
The competition for robots in hostile situations has never been hotter, so manufacturers are understandably trying whatever they can to distinguish themselves. But rather than focus on more common attributes such as speed and power, Japan's Topy is opting for agility.
The company has introduced two new "crawler robots" designed to negotiate tight spaces, such as under floors, with a large LCD built into their controllers for close inspection. To get them down to more manageable fighting weights, Fareastgizmos says Topy lightened its crawler belts by 25 percent. But the larger model can still climb over gaps … Read more

Testimony of Gigi B. Sohn
President, Public Knowledge
Before the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary
Oversight Hearing On
"The Analog Hole: Can Congress Protect Copyright and Promote Innovation?"
June 21, 2006
Chairman Specter, Ranking Member Leahy and other members of the Committee, my name is Gigi B. Sohn. I am the President of Public Knowledge, a nonprofit public interest organization that addresses the public's stake in the convergence of communications policy and intellectual property law. I want to thank the Committee for inviting me to testify on the question of how the analog hole impacts copyrights and innovation. I specifically want to focus my remarks on the impact of government-mandated efforts to close the analog hole on consumers.
Introduction and Summary
This is the digital golden age for consumers. They have numerous choices for buying digital content and for buying devices on which to play that content. Equally as important, they have numerous choices for creating their own content. User-generated content is driving our culture, our democracy, and increasingly, our economy. Indeed, a recent Pew Internet and American Life study2 showed that a full 57% of young people produce their own content, be it blogs, movies or music. As Professor Lawrence Lessig said at a recent Princeton University Conference, our culture has gone from one of "Read-Only" to "Read-Write."
The ability of consumers to enjoy lawfully acquired digital and analog content and create their own content is dependent upon the analog hole, that is, the ability to convert analog content to digital. Popular consumer electronics devices like the TiVo and the Slingbox3 use the analog hole to operate. Consumers use the analog hole to take old home movies and videotapes and transfer them to longer-lasting digital media. The ability of consumers to benefit from the analog hole has resulted in great economic benefits for our country - the sales of consumer electronics devices, computers and digital media, both pre-recorded and blank, are booming
Yet Hollywood is asking Congress to help it close the analog hole. I will not mince words - this would be profoundly anti-consumer and a radical change in the historic copyright balance. Closing the analog hole would immediately restrict lawful uses of technology and make millions of consumer devices obsolete. It would not be far-fetched to predict that closing the analog hole will cause a consumer backlash with ramifications for device manufacturers, retail stores, content producers and Congress.
Moreover, Hollywood has not clearly defined the problem it wants to fix. They have provided no evidence that use of the analog hole has resulted in any significant copyright infringement. The mere fact that a consumer can buy an analog to digital converter device is not evidence that such a device is being used illegally any more than the sale of kitchen knives indicates that they are being used for stabbings. If the concern is that certain individuals are taking analog content, digitizing it and placing it on peer-to-peer networks, then the answer is not to close the analog hole, but to use the many legal, technological and marketplace tools the industry has at its disposal to combat illegal use of those networks.
Closing the analog hole is the third technology mandate the content industry has sought from Congress, along with the video and audio flags, which are now part of communications reform legislation in this chamber. For none of those three has the content industry demonstrated 1) evidence of the harm that they seek to resolve with a tech mandate or 2) that the alleged harm outweighs the harm to lawful consumer uses of media and technology. I would urge this Committee and Congress to insist upon an "environmental impact" statement before it imposes technology mandates that will further tip the copyright balance away from consumers.
Closing the Analog Hole Would Have Grave Consequences for Consumers
Consumers rely on analog connections to use the media devices they own. DVD and CD players, iPods and Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) like TiVo all use analog connections to connect to other devices. For example, to use your DVD player, you merely plug it into your TV set using inexpensive analog cables. This is the "analog hole" that Hollywood wants to close. An analog to digital converter is one of the most basic pieces of electronics in use today.
These units are found in devices we don't even think twice about - from electronic bathroom scales to digital thermometers. Put most simply, an analog to digital converter is anything that takes an analog signal (like sound, temperature, or light) and converts it into a digital signal. Cellphones, computers, televisions, and video game consoles all use analog to digital converters to operate.
Thus, it should come as no surprise that a large number of lawful consumer activities would be affected by legislation closing the analog hole. For example, time and place shifting, such as recording television shows onto a computer, or moving recorded content from one device over a home network, would be prohibited, as would excerpting a DVD for a PowerPoint or multimedia presentation. The ability to transfer content that one lawfully buys from one device to another has helped to drive the huge market for content and devices. Closing the analog hole will limit this ability and with it consumers' enthusiasm for purchasing these products.
Closing the analog hole will not only affect future devices, it will also affect the billions of dollars of consumer electronics devices that are already in people's homes. Devices that are purchased before an analog hole mandate goes into effect may not work with devices purchased after. For example, the television you own now may not work with the DVR you buy after the analog hole is closed. There is no transition period and no converter device to solve this. Recent consumer electronics sales numbers demonstrate the breadth of this problem:
??Televisions: In 2006, $23 billion worth of televisions will be sold4 - $18 million of that figure will be spent on digital televisions. As of 2005, there was a nationwide total of 287 million TVs5, and an estimated population of 295 million6 - nearly one television for every resident.
??DVD Players: The Digital Entertainment Group, a trade consortium dedicated to promoting the DVD technology, reports that 37 million DVD players were sold last year; nearly 80% of U.S. households currently have DVD players in their homes - that's 169 million DVD players.
??Digital Video Recorders: One of the fastest growing consumer electronics devices is the Digital Video Recorder (DVR). In 2005, 19 million DVRs were sold worldwide. According to recent estimates, 12% of US households have a DVR, a number that is expected to rise to nearly 50% by 2009.
Lastly, as my colleagues from TiVo and the Consumer Electronics Association will no doubt tell you, a technology mandate that will close the analog hole will have tremendous costs for device manufacturers. But it bears notice that inevitably, the consumer will bear much of this cost in increased prices. Thus, closing the analog hole will result in an anti-consumer trifecta - it would 1) limit lawful uses of technology and content; 2) make obsolete millions of devices; and 3) raise the cost of new devices. It is hard to think of a technology mandate that harms the consumer more.
The Analog Hole is the Last Resort for Preserving Fair Uses Prohibited by the DMCA
As this Committee knows, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has been an embattled law since its passage in 1998. One of the primary reasons for this has been the effect of its anticircumvention provisions on fair use. 17 U.S.C. § 1201(a)(1)(A) prohibits circumvention of
access controls for any reason, including lawful uses like fair use.
The analog hole is an important backdoor solution to this problem. If I want to make a fair use excerpt of a movie on DVD to use in a presentation, I cannot lawfully break the encryption to do so. Instead, I must either hold up a video camera to the TV screen, or connect that camera to the DVD player's analog outputs. Without the analog hole, teachers, students, journalists and ordinary consumers seeking to comment upon, criticize, or otherwise lawfully use a portion of a digitally protected copyrighted work have no recourse under the law. This capability becomes increasingly important as more and more individuals create their own content, such as online videos and video blogs (so called "vlogs") that comment on news and entertainment programming.
Indeed, both the U.S. Copyright Office and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) have said that the analog hole should be the only way for consumers to be able to engage in fair use of protected digital media. In its 2003 Triennial Review ruling, the Copyright Office dismissed a proposed Section 1201(a)(1) exemption for "ancillary works distributed on DVDs encrypted by CSS."10 This exemption was proposed on behalf of movie critics who sought to reproduce short clips for purposes such as criticism and commentary: purposes explicitly enshrined in the statute preserving exemptions for fair use.11 Although the Copyright Office acknowledged that important fair uses were at stake,12 it nonetheless rejected the proposed exemption, and preserved the ban on circumventing DVD encryption. An important part of their reasoning was that users could rely on analog hole solutions to achieve the desired results without circumvention. The Copyright Office urged would-be fair users either to use their DVD player's analog output or to point their video camera at their television and tape the movies in question. Thus, the Copyright Office denied the exemption request "[b]ecause users already have access to an analog copy of the work, they have the ability to engage in the desired activity."
The Copyright Office was not the first to suggest that would-be fair users use the analog hole to record protected digital media. In 2003, Fritz Attaway, the MPAA's Executive Vice President, specifically advocated this as a solution to the needs of fair users,14 and made the same argument again in this year's Triennial Review.15 In both instances, he demonstrated the process at Copyright Office Hearings.
While we have stressed the negative impact that closing the analog hole would have on consumers, the Copyright Office's 2006 hearings show that educators also depend on the analog hole. Public Knowledge intern Bill Herman, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication, testified on April 3 in support of the two proposed exemptions that would allow professors to circumvent the copy controls on DVDs in order to make lawful uses of materials in the classroom.
As part of his testimony, Mr. Herman conducted a brief online survey of several dozen professors and instructors in fields such as communication and media studies. This is a small sample of a very large population of classroom instructors who use regularly use video materials in the classroom. He found that a majority of these educators use analog hole solutions, either capturing the signal from the analog output on their DVD player or videotaping their television--exactly as Mr. Attaway suggested they should. Virtually none of them thought that this was a good solution; they would all rather use a perfect digital copy. But rather than violate the DMCA, these educators used the analog hole to make the most efficient and effective use of their class time. Further, Mr. Herman testified that the only way to avoid this problem entirely would be to buy extra equipment at a cost of thousands of dollars per school and millions for the education sector as a whole. Thus, the analog hole not only serves to preserve the rights of consumers--it gives teachers a legal way to save millions of student-hours and millions of dollars.
Proposed Legislation to Close The Analog Hole Would Harm Consumers
Last year, H.R. 4569, the Digital Transition Content Security Act of 2005 (DTCSA) was introduced in the House of Representatives. I urge the Senate not to introduce this or any other similar legislation to close the analog hole. In addition to the problems discussed above, which would result from any effort to close the analog hole, H.R. 4569 also suffers from a number of maladies specific to its substance: the mandated use of two specific protection technologies, encoding rules which would limit lawful uses, and bureaucratic oversight of technology by an inexperienced and overworked Patent and Trademark Office.
A. The DTSCA Would Mandate an Unproven and Disputed Technology
The DTSCA requires the use of two technologies that have never been used in
conjunction before: CGMS-A, an encryption technology, and VEIL, a watermarking technology. While CGMS-A is an established standard that is in use in some consumer electronic devices, it is by no means widespread. VEIL technology has only previously been used for toys that interact with Batman cartoons.
While the CGMS-A + VEIL technology was discussed at the Analog Hole Reconversion Discussion Group, a standards group with both industry and public interest participation, it was quickly dismissed as not worthy of further consideration. Thus, this technology has not been fully vetted by industry and public interest groups. If Congress feels it must do something about the analog hole, at a minimum, it should refer the technology back to industry and public interest groups so CGMS-A + VEIL can be thoroughly analyzed for its impact on consumers and costs to technology companies. In the complete absence of any such review, the imposition of such a detailed technology mandate would be unprecedented.
B. The DTSCA's Encoding Rules Would Limit Fair Use
The DTSCA would impose a detailed and complex set of encoding rules that would restrict certain lawful uses of content. The bill includes tiered levels of restriction based on the type of programming (e.g., pay-per-view, video on demand) that would permit, in most cases, the making of one copy, and in some cases not permit any copies. Moreover, the encoding rules would limit time and space shifting, including the copying of a program from one DVR to another, or the copying of a television program to a portable computer. This upsets the balance established in copyright law between the needs of copyright holders and the rights of the public, by placing far too much control over lawful uses in the hands of the content producers.
C. The Patent and Trademark Office is Ill-Suited to Oversee Analog Hole
The DTSCA would delegate significant regulatory authority over analog hole compliance issues to the inexperienced and overworked US Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). That authority would include drafting, adopting, and enforcing robustness requirements for analog video input devices, rules for approval of authorized digital output devices, rules for approval of authorized digital output and recording technologies, approval of changes to VEIL, and rules for control of downstream devices. As discussed above, devices and software that could be used to convert analog video signals into digital video signals are common, not just in consumer electronics and personal computers, but in microchip or software form embedded in a variety of devices. The DTSCA makes no distinction. Even if the Act governed only consumer electronics, it would still require the PTO to monitor the entirety of an ever-growing industry and approve not only specific copy protection technologies, but business models as well.
The PTO is particularly ill suited to take on this role. It has never engaged in this kind of oversight, and has struggled for years to keep up with its most important and core duty: examining patent and trademark applications. The backlog of patent applications and the questions surrounding patent quality are well documented. Not only would a new analog hole approval process cost the government untold millions of dollars each year, but the additional bureaucratic bottleneck would hinder technological innovation and further slow the already backlogged patent approval process.
Hollywood Has Not Shown that the Analog Hole is the Source of its Piracy Problems Public Knowledge takes indiscriminate redistribution of digital content seriously; indeed, we have supported both content industry lawsuits against large-scale infringers using P2P software and the use of marketplace-based (as opposed to government mandated) technological protection measures.
Public Knowledge also believes that government should not legislate in the absence of evidence of a problem that can be solved by the proposed legislation. This is just such a case:
Hollywood has not demonstrated that even one case of indiscriminate redistribution of its work was the result of analog to digital conversion. Its "evidence" usually relies on the existence of inexpensive analog to digital conversion devices, which they proudly hold up at panel discussions and at hearings. But the mere existence of these devices does not prove that they are being used for anything other than the lawful uses described above. Indeed, it appears that the problem Hollywood seeks to fix is caused not by use of the analog hole, but by the use of computers and digital networks. Infringement facilitated by those technologies is already being addressed by a wide range of recently developed legal and marketplace tools, including:
??The Supreme Court's decision in MGM v. Grokster and its aftermath. The Supreme Court gave content owners a powerful tool against infringement when it held that manufacturers and distributors of technologies that are used to infringe could be held liable for that infringement if they actively encourage illegal activity. As a result, a number of commercial P2P distributors have gone out of business, moved out of the U.S., or sold their assets to copyright holders.
??Lawsuits against mass infringers using P2P networks. Both the RIAA and the MPAA continue to sue individuals who are engaged in massive infringement over peer-topeer (P2P) networks. By their own admission, these lawsuits have had both a deterrent and educative effect. The RIAA now characterizes the P2P problem as "contained."
??The Family Entertainment and Copyright Act. The FECA gave copyright holders a new cause of action to help limit leaks of pre-release works and made explicit the illegality of bringing a camcorder into a movie theater. It also provided for the appointment of an intellectual property "czar" to better enforce copyright laws.
??Agreements by ISPs to pass on warning notices. The war between Internet Service Providers and content companies has cooled. Last year, Verizon and Disney entered into an agreement by which Verizon will warn alleged copyright infringers using its networks, but will not give up their personal information to Disney. Officials at Verizon have informed me that they are considering similar arrangements with other content companies.
??Increased use of copy protection and other digital rights management tools in the marketplace.
There are numerous instances of the use of digital rights management tools in the marketplace. iTunes Fairplay DRM is perhaps the most well known, but other services that use DRM include MSN music and video, Napster, Yahoo Music, Wal-Mart Music Downloads, Movielink, CinemaNow and iBeam. The success of some of these business models are a testament to the fact that if content companies make their catalogs available in a simple, flexible and reasonably-priced manner, those models will succeed in the marketplace without government intervention.
These tools are in addition to the strict penalties of current copyright law, including the DMCA. To the extent that the content industries are looking for a "speed bump" to keep "honest people honest," I would contend that many such speed bumps already exist, while more are being developed every day without government technology mandates.
Finally, by far the most effective means of preventing massive copyright infringement involves the content industry doing what it took the music industry far too long to do23 - satisfy market demand by allowing consumers to enjoy fair and flexible access to content at reasonable prices (inevitably produced in a free market). DVDs are the best example of the market working. There, a government mandate -the Digital Video Recording Act - was rejected. Instead, the industry developed and adopted a protection system designed to "keep honest people honest."
Despite the fact that the protection system was defeated long ago, the DVD market has grown at an astounding rate - from zero in 1997 to $25 million in sales and rentals last year. Moreover, as I noted above, many other new digital music and video distribution models, developed with content industry support and industry-agreed upon content protection, are emerging in the market. We believe that these efforts make government intervention in the free market unnecessary.
I want to again thank Chairman Specter, Ranking Member Leahy and the other members of the Committee for giving me the opportunity to present the viewpoint of consumers. Let me close with this thought. When Congress was considering the DMCA eight years ago, the content industry assured legislators that this would be the last law that they would seek to limit consumers' lawful uses of digital media. But in the four Congress' since then, we have seen proposed law after proposed law and numerous lawsuits to further limit consumer rights and innovation and impose restrictive costs on the technology sector. In this Congress alone, no fewer than five bills total in both houses24 would tip the copyright balance even further towards the content industry. This is nothing more than carefully planned assault on consumers.
The Senate should not compound this effort by legislatively mandating technologies to close the analog hole. Such a mandate is premature, unnecessary and would cause great consumer cost, confusion and inconvenience. Before it acts, Congress at a minimum should require evidence that analog to digital conversion is a significant source of infringement, and that the harm to Hollywood outweighs the clear detriment to consumers.

Karl Ernst Osthaus believed that people should have access to art and he founded the Folkwang Museum in 1902 – initially not in Essen, but in Hagen. It was only in 1921 that the collection was transferred to the industrial city in North Rhine-Westphalia, where it quickly developed into a world-class museum.
The Folkwang Museum's reputation is founded on its outstanding holdings of 19th century painting and sculpture, classical modernist works, post-1945 art and photography (established as a separate department in 1979). Works by van Gogh, Cézanne, Gauguin and Matisse, the pioneers of modernism, lead into German Expressionism and the various art movements of the 20th century such as Cubism, concrete art, abstract Expressionism, Art Informel and Neo-figurative art. Post-1945 art and contemporary art are represented in works by the American artists Rothko, Newman, Pollock, Reinhardt, Kline, Louis and Stella; works by Soulages, Vedova, Klein and Fontana, and Richter and Palermo complete the impressive collection. There are also contemporary groups of works and installations; video art from 1973 to 1988 can be seen in screenings and presentations, and photography and prints form two further collections. The German Poster Museum, which is also part of the Folkwang Museum, owns one of the world's biggest poster collections, with 340,000 posters from the spheres of politics, business and culture.
