Race of the Falling Leaves
October 15, 2011 at 11:14 pm 3 comments
Great race today in Grant, Alabama. Chris Cundiff organized a race billed as "The Race of the Falling Leaves" in tribute of the race of the same name held today in Italy around Lake Komo. The race held up to its name as there were literally leaves falling as we raced three times up the mountain where the town of Grant is located. I ended up edging out Mike Olheiser in the final sprint to take the win. Here's all the data!

We've seen smart windows at trade shows and in high-end homes. You touch a button on a remote and the window magically turns from clear to opaque to provide sunblocking and privacy. These solutions have historically required the installation of a special electronically charged pane of glass—a solution that's out of the financial comfortable zone of most people.
At CES Aeon Labs demonstrated a new technology that will allow homeowners to add tinting functionality to their existing windows. The product, expected to be available later this year, is a 0.7mm thick sheet of what appears to be a plastic material that can be cut to suit the size of any window. It simply adheres to the existing glass. Still under development, the film will likely include a thin electrical wire that plugs into an AC outlet. A small module would also attach to allow the Smart Film to communicate over a Z-Wave network. (Aeon Labs makes a number of other Z-Wave devices including motion sensors, light switches and keyfobs and remotes.
The same glass pane with the smart film shown clear and opaque.
According to company senior business developer Daniel Dykes, Z-Wave compatibility would allow the Smart-Film to be controlled from a remote or to alter its transparency automatically via a signal from a motion sensor. No word on what Smart Film might cost.

Old Time Radio Downloads > Crime > Raymond Chandler
Raymond Chandler is an American novelist considered one of the greatest detective writers of all time. After getting fired from his previous work in an oil company, Chandler decided to start writing detective fiction. Among his first works were the short story "Blackmailers Don't Shoot" and the novel "The Big Sleep, published in 1933 and 1939 respectively. These are followed by more short stories and seven more novels. He was working on his eighth novel when he died. Of all the characters he created, the most famous would probably be Philip Marlowe.
Although all of Chandler's work were deemed to be important literary pieces, the ones which were recognized to be the greatest were "The Long Goodbye" (1953), "The Little Sister" (1949), and "Farewell, My Lovely" (1940).

STS*: Struggles Past, Challenges, Opportunities AheadPosted by on December 1, 2012 – 11:15 am
For whatever reasons, ever since returning from their bye week, the Jets' special teams haven't been as sharp and efficient as usual.
Trouble began in Seattle on Nov. 11 when punt returner Jeremy Kerley muffed a second-quarter punt, which the Seahawks recovered and soon thereafter turned into seven points.
That was followed up at St. Louis the next week when one of Nick Folk's field goals was blocked and a Tim Tebow fake-punt shovel pass to Lex Hilliard was stopped.
And most recently, against the Patriots on Thanksgiving, Joe McKnight fumbled a kickoff return, resulting in a TD for the opposition.
Special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff didn't have a clear explanation for the recent struggles.
"We do things in practice," Westhoff said, "but there's only so many things you can do. I mean, we can't run a live kickoff coverage in practice this time of the year. We've already had a million. You have to be able to hang onto it. So those instances, even though they're separate entities — very, very frustrating."
Yet Westhoff was pleased with his kickoff covereage unit against the Pats.
"They couldn't get to the 20," Westhoff said. "They couldn't have gotten to the 20 with an all-star team running that against what we were doing. We had it. I look at it technically. I know what I'm talking about. So we have them covered."
Westhoff was shocked the McKnight miscue occurred, particularly because it looked like he had a chance to take the return all the way.
"Here I'm seeing this develop," the ST coordinator said. "I'm thinking, 'We've got them. We're going to hit this.' All of a sudden it ends up becoming a gigantic play for them and they get the big Thanksgiving celebration and we get a weekend in Palookaville."
Jets seventh-year safety Eric Smith said the mistakes and errors on special teams haven't only been discouraging for Westhoff but for the entire unit.
"We've just given up a lot of plays that we don't need to," Smith said. "We've got them schemed up well, we've just got some guys out of position, missed some tackles or missed some blocks."
The Arizona Cardinals, Sunday's opponents, feature one of the NFL's premier punt returners in Patrick Peterson. Last season as a rookie, Peterson tied the NFL single-season punt-return touchdown record, finishing with four, with all four of his scores at least 80-yard returns. Those impressive numbers certainly haven't gone unnoticed by Westhoff.
"I'll tell you what he's incredible at aside from being a prolific punt returner," Westhoff said. "He rushes field goals as good as maybe anybody I've ever seen. He can run under a chair. He explodes and he's low. He's strong. At 220 pounds, he runs through a lot of things aside from being so explosive. He's a real factor.
"Sometimes his numbers maybe aren't quite what he would want them to be. He takes chances. I mean, he ran a 99-yard punt return. That meant he fielded it on the 1. A lot of guys wouldn't do that. He does that kind of stuff. So he's very daring."
When Peterson entered the NFL out of LSU in 2011, Westhoff listed him as his top draft prospect.
"He's extremely, extremely talented," Westhoff said. "I have tremendous respect for him."
The unit is also hoping personal protector Tim Tebow will be ready to go after he didn't see action in last week's game due to his broken ribs.
"I think I know Tim Tebow pretty well," Westhoff said. "The guy's pretty tough. Anytime you have one of those things, there's always a safety or precaution because you don't know what it could become."
If the Jets envision being successful Sunday, one area they should attempt to capitalize on McKnight's specialty, kickoff returns. Arizona ranks 30th in the NFL in both their 27.9-yard average return allowed and opponents' averaged 24.3-yard-line drive start. But as Westhoff cautioned, it all circles back to fundamentals.
"Every play is measured by the proper execution of that play," he said. "Sometimes a really good punt return is a fair catch. That can be a heck of a play, things like that. Whatever the situation requires, I want to try to win at that situation. And I want everyone to win at it, every single guy. That's my goal."

By ron alexander on Dec 1, 2012 | Reply
Special teams is usually a Jet strong point.However, with this years roster being below avg in terms of talent its really no surprise to anyone here our spec.Teams have not been up to par.Basically,its a trickle down effect as most teams use back-ups on special teams to protect their starters. When your starters are as bad as some of ours is it any surprise the reserves are worse? There are obvious exceptions to this as there are some decent back-ups (like D.Davis) but the better ones we have are also young and prone to the mistakes Randy mentiones here. I would like to think the fact that Westhoff will be retireing after this season is not a factor here as has been suggested by some ?
By scjoe on Dec 1, 2012 | Reply
Thanks for this story Randy, because it confirms my belief which I have been debating with others here for years now, that it all comes down to the personnel and the product that is put on the field. Did Mike Westhoff all of a sudden forget how to coach STs? The man is THEE most efficient STs coordinator in the game today! OR, is it the execution on the field that has blown up these past few weeks? Did he go out and change all the schemes and coverages on STs? I think not! They have been in place since mini camp and way beyond, the only thing that needs to be done is to execute them on the field.
By Jet Fan Since '64 Tom on Dec 1, 2012 | Reply
You can measure the absurdity of the present-day Jets by an interview with Westhoff in which he talks about Tebow playing an ST position instead of QB. The Wildcat years were merely foolish but this stuff now is truly bizarre! And that goes for playing Cromartie at WR and switching McKnight around every other week, too. I'm reminded of the old PEANUTS cartoon in which Snoopy is giving Charlie Brown elaborate thanks for bringing his supper and Charlie muses "I wonder what it would be like to just have a 'dog' dog?" What might it be like to have a Jet org that just drafts good players and develops them along the lines of the way the game is played today by the other 31 teams?

When the Jets beat the hapless Cardinals it will be a breathless Ryan at the news conferance" we turned it around"…blah blah…" Sanchez looked sharp"…blah blah … "we have to get better." Hey Ryan just for your information any decent team can come in to your home and slap you silly at will. A good team ..say the Texans, Niners, Giants, Pats, Ravens will come into your home slap you silly and humilate you. Your team is that bad. It's a wonder that the NFLl would want you national next year after the pathetic preformances of this team. Tired of your talk, boasts, pre game mouth just move on and turn the lights out before you leave

Alabama-Georgia game had more excitement then the whole jet year.

Teams are mirror images of there owners. Look at Dallas Washington and Oakland, Each year shooting themselves in the foot with bad picks and high priced FA acquisitions. Then look at Pitt, Balt and NE. Loosing veterans but replacing them with good draft picks or smart cheap free agents. Starting to think the Jets are being to influenced by the owner with with drastic moved to sell tickets. Favre, Tebow, Plax among others have set the team back and are inexcusable. This team is very frustrating to watch. On the bright side, there is never a dull minute.

Bennett, you get away with over-using the phrase "slap you silly" because your observations are so on target!

Well of to the Debacle thats called the NYJ and another day at the stadium and posiblly another disappointment of a game. But like i said im in all away no remorse no turning back.
And just to let everyone know this team IS JUST NOT GOOD if you watched them all year and you still debating Tebow vs Sanchez vs McElroy, Scott vs Davis, whole bunch of WR whom CANT hold on to the EGG and would be on the Practicesquad on even the worst NFL team then you should look for another Sport to root for, just keep it real here this team starting with the Owner down to the last guy on th PRSQ is NOT GOOD is that simple.

The Oline has been such an emberassment it really didnt matter if Hunter would be here or not, and if any of you watching think Mangold has been a Pro Bowler for the last 2 years and Ferguson is worth the overblowded contract you are nuts, and B. Moore speaking of holding on to a Player just 1 year toooo long prime example, and playing your RT position based on Bonuses well that tells you a lot about where the state of mind of this team is, i tell you if there is no real changes coming after this year welcome to the world of MSG Dolan Empire BUG and a Recoverytime 2002 – (still ongoing).THIS TEAM IS JUST NOT GOOD plain and simple.

Byrdman I don't know if you ever saw that ESPN special about Tebow. They had this kid working out like a Navy Seal, and Lord knows the have tinkered with his mechanics. I think the should have allowed him to evolve his own natuarl style and mechanics within a framework of proven NFL effeciancy. In other words the totally ___ up this kid because he didn't fall in to the normal parameters. We have all seen alot of ugly QB's be successful. Instead of pulling cars this kid should have been working on flexability, muscle coordination, speed, light weights with high reps and been coached WITHIN the framework of his natural style. The QB position does not call for a 450lb bench press. I think he knows this, he is a strange kid.

If I could be allowed to make a point on muscle imbalance. Naturally your muscles are in almost perfect balance realitive to each other. Once you begin resistence training you change this balance. A world record holder in the squat tells a story how he witnessed a purse snatching and when he went to give chase he immediatley tore both hamstrings. His front quads were so strong realitve to the rear leg muscels and he was so out of balance it resulted in injury. Tebow is doing the totally wrong resistance training for the position he aspires to be good at, it is actually having a devasting effect on his accuracy that is not great naturally. Shame to watch as it is obvious to anyone who has lifted for differant sport/ position applications

There is really too much to complain about lately. Part of the ST problem is personel but I feel there is another issue. The attitude of the coach and GM have made the players feel entitled. No one is pushing no one. They keep their job no matter how bad they play. St teams used to be a place to put rookies until they moved to be a starter. Sure some players stayed on ST but on the Jets no one is making a name for himself. If there is no competition EVERYONE becomes slow and lazy. Do not completely agree about "workout" muscles. I remember Phill Simms worked out with the OL especially on Bench presses. There have been many gym rats. Overall players are much more muscular than in years gone by. Better workouts and drugs.

Special teams…a Jet mainstay for these past years, has become symbolic of the rest of the team. Void of talent, underachievers, too much complacency, etc, etc, etc. Did you see what happenned when they benched Sanchez yesterday and put McElroy in? All of a sudden the team became energized. OL was blocking, runners were running, and the energy in the building was soaring. Maybe Westhoff should bench a few of his prima donnas ASAP, and replace then with "hungry" players? I think "part" opf the overall problem is that Ryan coddles his players way too much. It's an invitation to take advantage…

This real simple…put Sanchez on waivers and hope like hell someone claims him then the Jets are off the hook for one of the worst contract extensions in NFL history.
You have to think there are a handful of teams that would grab him.
McElroy did a great job managing the game and his pocket presence was significantly better than Sanchez. Is he the answer? who knows. We do know that Sanchez is not the answer.

The JETS HAVE NO RECEIVERS,ALOT OF DROPPED BALLS ON PART OF THE RECIEVERS,SANCHEZ GOT THE SHORT END OF THE STICK,FOR THE RECIEVERS INCOMPETENCE,I HOPE SANCHEZ GOES TO ANOTHER TEAM WHERE HIS SKILLS WILL FLOURISH…
By Jet Fan Since '64 Tom Vindicated Slightly on Dec 3, 2012 | Reply
Frank, I like the waiver route for Sanchez a lot, the only thing folks are really stressing about now is the $8 mil, so let's eliminate that factor and move on. SOCAL, most of Sanchez's "drops" are badly-thrown balls that receivers are lucky to even get their hands on. Stop beating some mancrush stick for this loser and start watching the games more carefully. Every pass Mc threw yesterday was thrown more accurately than just about any pass MS has thrown all yr.

Old grill was worn out, looked around everywhere for a new one, we use at least 4 times a week, and sears had the best selection from low to high end. Picked the Kenmore 5 burner unit and we are very happy with it and was easy to assemble.

Love this grill. All stainless steel grates makes it so easy to keep clean. Much healthier than other grills.

I appreciate the even cooking (from front to back) and the ease of igniting the burners. If I was to redesign this product I would place a draw beneath the work area or move the tank so there would be more storage. Overall I believe it was a great buy.

After a lot of shopping around we decided on this grill. We have used it for a couple of weeks and LOVE IT! It does everything it should and the food (steaks, brats, chicken, pork and veggies) we have cooked so far has turned out awesome. I love the stainless grill plates. I am finally able to cook everything at one time and not in stages as we previously had a smaller grill. Having multiple burners is very convenient when cooking multiple types of food at one time. The sales people were fabulous even after my 4th trip to the store comparing grills.

Grill has a ton of grilling space. It does get very hot so have been cooking on low heat. Cooking chicken in the middle while having the end burners on only cooked the chicken perfectly. Still haven't used the rotisserie. Need to purchase the rotisserie rod yet. Wish it would of came with one.

I love this Sears grill. It received excellent Consumer Reports rating which drew me to this grill. The heat control makes cooking better. The 5 burners are especially useful when cooking a variety of foods that require different cooking temperatures. The internal searing feature included with the grill is great when using the rotisserie, giving the food that crispy barbecue taste. The side searing unit is outstanding for putting that crispy searing on steaks. One of the top features of this grill are the metal grates. They are really easy to clean with a brush or grill pad. After cleaning with the brush and pad, I place them into my dishwasher. There are 3 cooking grates and one warming grate. This makes it very easy to remove and able to fit in your dishwasher, or sink. I could not do this with other types of grates. I would recommend this grill and in my opinion the a best value for your money.

I was really excited about this grill, until I put it together. Doors shut on even. You cannot adjust. A few of the screw holes seem to be off centered making it hard to screwing the bolts. Appearance, the grill looks great, a minor dent by the wheel. Can. Be over looked. Read a lot of reviews before purchase this. Overall it seemed 75% of the reviews I read were pretty standard league good reviews.. So I went out and purchased this just recently as of June 2014.. I am disappointed for the amount of money i spent for the quality that I received.

Love this grill! Plenty of room for big dinners and easy for anyone to use. Haven't used rotisserie yet. Even flames throughout with no flare ups. And, it looks great. Did purchase the grill cover, this unit is just too pretty for tree sap and bird droppings.

I have owned this grill for about 5 years now. I purchased it because of the heavy stainless steel cooking grates. All other grills I have owned have been ceramic coated and have all rusted within a couple years. I thought this grill would be so much better. Well it did last a little longer then most but as all others the rust hit it and just ruined it. The cooking grids are still great they are doing very good I dont think I could ask for better. But everything around them in the burner box is rusted out. Last year I had to fight with customer service to get the 5 main burners replaced due to rusting out. They have a 10 year free replacement guarantee on them. They wanted me to pay for a service call at the cost of about $80 to say yes they are rusted out we will order a new one for you. The burner itself is only about $55. Well after numerous emails and filing a complaint with the BBB they sent me replacement burners for it. Now the entire bottom of the burner box has rusted and falling apart. The flame defusers are also rusted out bad enough that they are ready to fall apart. They really needed to make the grill completely out of stainless steel and then they would of had a good grill.

These blinds are very nice. I have had lots of compliments on them.
They are constructed very well. And look very good in my dining room.
The blinds fit perfectly. It was the first time that I've ever put up blinds so I was worried about ordering online. The shipment was faster than expected and installation was simple. A great value!!
I like the blinds, however, I cannot stand the two sets of cords. They are extremely long and we do not want to drill more holes in our wall to accomodate them. So they hang there and it doesn't look good. Had I of known this was how it was made, I would have ordered the wand instead.
I looked @ Home Depot and OSH and all the upscale types they stocked were all a bit cheesy. So, after some searching online I found select blinds and found exactly what I was looking for and manipulated the easy-to-use interface and viola, the order was placed. I received them in a timely manner and installed the blinds with ease. Good purchase, and recommended!
They were a great value for the price.
They look good and suit our needs.

Chto Delat? Poster Timeline
Here we collected a series of (mostly) retrospectively made posters which reflect different aspect of our activity with a focus on less visible parts of it.
Chto Delat? / What is to be Done?
The collective Chto Delat (What is to be done?) was founded in early 2003 in Petersburg by a workgroup of artists, critics, philosophers, and writers from St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Nizhny Novgorod with the goal of merging political theory, art, and activism.
The group was constituted in May 2003 in St. Petersburg in an action called "The Refoundation of Petersburg." Shortly afterwards, the original, as yet nameless core group began publishing an international newspaper called Chto Delat?. The name of the group derives from a novel by the Russian 19th century writer Nikolai Chernyshevsky, and immediately brings to mind the first socialist worker's self-organizations in Russia, which Lenin actualized in his own publication, "What is to be done?" (1902). Chto Delat? sees itself as a self-organized platform for a variety of cultural activities intent on politicizing "knowledge production" through redefinitions of an engaged autonomy for cultural practice today.
The array of activities is coordinated by a core group including following members:
Tsaplya Olga Egorova (artist, Petersburg), Artiom Magun (philosopher, Petersburg), Nikolay Oleynikov (artist, Moscow), Natalia Pershina/Glucklya (artist, Petersburg), Alexey Penzin (philosopher, Moscow), David Riff (art critic, Moscow), Alexander Skidan (poet, critic, Petersburg), Oxana Timofeeva (philosopher, Moscow), and Dmitry Vilensky (artist, Petersburg). In 2012 the choreographer Nina Gasteva has joined a collective after few years of intense collaboration. Since then many Russian and international artist and researchers has participated in different projects realized under the collective name Chto Delat? (see descriptions of each projects on this web site)
First set of documentation of the display at Seccesion, Vienna
The description of the exhibition here http://www.secession.at/art/2014_chto-delat_d.html
The School for Engaged Art – what is it?
a Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung project
initiated by Chto Delat
How does one become an artist?
Why become an artist?
What could art be today, and what could its role in society be?
We are not sure that we know the answers to these important questions and that's why we started this school; in order to face these issues together with a young generation with whom we need to share our urgencies and concerns.
What do we want from the art school?
First of all, we have no illusions about miserable situation about current stage of artistic production today, but we do not want to coop with this state of things: a free play of all type of différance. And despite of this objective situation we want to share our belief that art is essential for all human becoming, art is always a gesture of negation and a call to the world to be otherwise — thus the role of art in society has always been crucial. And it was and still is a legitimate ground for the crucial quarrel what is the truth.
But what is this role today, when all the borders between art and life, art and media, art and social studies, art and activism, have been destroyed and we have fewer and fewer opportunities to formulate not just the notion of art but even its location?
What kind of knowledge is important to gain to become an artist?
How can this knowledge be evaluated?
Who are the experts who make judgments on what is good and what is bad art?
We feel a strong unease with the current process of academization of artistic education. Maybe it is because none of us (the artists who initiated this school) have ever properly studied art as a discipline. Or maybe we keep believing that art cannot be taught, that it must rather be practiced.
This is why we would like to modestly continue the good old tradition of artists of one generation trying to inspire younger generations with their own beliefs, fears, hopes, love and poetics.
Just to commemorate a long list of such initiatives we want to mention a few – UNOVIS in Vitebsk, Black Mountain College in the US, Soviet confidential circles around dissident artists, Bauhaus and numerous other similar initiatives (1) which left behind tangible and sometimes invisible results. The most important of them have always created a change in communities of enlightened people whose presence in societies made a difference and inspired hope, even in the darkest times.
What kind of art education is possible in the Russian context, where basic democratic freedoms are highly strained and the level of state and everyday violence is steadily increasing? In a situation where there are no academic programs in contemporary art and no institutions (or support) that are concerned with politically engaged practices in art?
We continue to think about art that engages in all the painful processes of the development of our society, about art that cannot hide in the secure ghetto of institutions and proper curriculums. Art that abandons the formalist approach to politics, art that is able to tell stories about humans which touch others, and communicates not just with trained professionals but with a broad audience. To achieve this, we need to obtain knowledge from different disciplines, and then use it in a most heretical way. We need to marry poetry and sociology, choreography and activism, art history and militant research, queer studies and drama theory, political economy and the sublime, artists' labour rights and romantic visions of art's mission and so on.
Our project is unique because we want to maintain fidelity to the leftist tradition of modern art, and at the same time escape narrow "old school" approach to politics. We want to experiment with true egalitarian practices of emancipation which succeed despite all the traps of real politics. We think that it is time to build a viable alternative to the private interest of oligarchs, corporations and senseless public entertainment. The 10 years of activity of our collective, and the positioning of the sponsors of our school – "Rosa Luxemburg Foundation" clearly place our educational program on the side of leftist politics in their universal approach to the vocation of human beings.
No one has asked or invited us to open a school – just in opposite – there are many forces which did their best here that this project would never happen. And our school is far from having any standard facilities as a proper art academy. We wish we could have an equipped, permanent base– with classrooms, studios, proper wages and so on — but it is not the case. But our school operates under quite generous conditions – it is free (we even provide a travel and accommodation' grants to participants outside St. Petersburg), it can provide all teachers a decent remuneration for their labor at highest local standards and we are able to integrate into our activity most remarkable teachers from all disciplines.
The school operate as a module structure – we meet with participants one week in a month – a very intense time during which we run all of our seminars and tutorials, and also mount public presentations and lectures. We have 5 permanent courses composed for one year –The History of Modernist Art (Andrey Fomenko), Aesthetics (Artyom Magun), Body Studies and Choreography (Nina Gasteva), Critical/Poetical Writings (Aleksander Skidan) and English for Artists with Emily Newman. The rest of time we dedicate to practical seminars with 3 tutors (Nikolay Oleynikov, Tsaplya Olga Egorova, Dmitry Vilensky). And of course, we invite occasional guest-speakers for topical discussions with our participants and in the context of public presentations.
From the outset, we established that we would not focus our program on the development of individual projects of our participants (although we of course consult personally with students about their own work as a matter of course.) We decided instead to try to build new forms of collective work – to create knowledge in order to conceive and spread ideas of possible new communities. These ideas are far from the imagination of neutral positivist space of knowledge. We believe that our school is a not a place for learning about whatever is considered good in contemporary art – instead we demand that our students take a position in a world where the main battle is the fight over ideological tendencies. In this, we strive to shape and defend our own tendency with all our means, inherited and new, in the process of mutual learning.

Yes, I recommend this product.
"My uncle, who is a physical therapist, suggested the 811 for my plantars fasciitis. The shoe literally changed my life (no drama, it really did) and dropped my ankle and foot pain by 90%. The 811 was replaced by the 812 and I've had several pairs now. I like the velcro straps, and the only real difference I can tell is the feel a bit "loose". Other than that, if I go a day or two in different shoes, my foot pain starts coming back. These are the best shoes I've ever owned, and would highly recommend them to anyone suffering from plantars fasciitis!"

text: Hi Note, indeed! Gerardo Frisina's latest is awe-inspiring – a completely seamless blend of Italian and Latin jazz, bossa rhythms and percussion, and some of the most tasteful and naturally blended electronic elements you could ever expect to hear on an album so steeped in a genuine affinity for live jazz instrumentation! If memory serves, earlier Frisina recordings relied a bit more on the production side of the coin, but this one's so strong on great instrumentation we're rendered pretty close to speechless. Lots of great horn arrangements, rolling bass lines and piano, sublime vibes and driving drums and percussion. Totally sweet throughout – this is way up there with the best dancefloor jazz Schema's ever released! 12 tracks: "Inviolatin", "Joyas", "Bluesanova", "Intenso", "Beyond The Moon", "Saeta '03", "Cubana", "Ombroso", "Zambele", "Sophisticated Samba" and more. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Post subject: Decriminalize File Sharing
Decriminalize File Sharing
This is an English translation of an article that I, and six other Members of the Swedish Parliament representing the Moderate Party, had published in Expressen on January 3, 2008. The article, calling for decriminalization of all file sharing, has started a loud debate in Swedish media.
Last fall, Swedens government-appointed copyright analyst Cecilia Renfors released a report proposing to close down file sharers Internet connections, banning them from the online world. The responsibility to execute the ban is put on the Internet Service Providers. Internet Service Provides who refuse to cut their subscribers connections would be fined.
When the Swedish government sent the Renfors proposal out to agencies and organizations for consideration the criticism was harsh. The Swedish Courts of Appeal questions whether banning citizens from the Internet would indeed reduce online file sharing. Despite several other countries having already taken similar action, none have had good results to show for it.
The Data Inspection Board, responsible for safeguarding the individuals integrity, asks whether the Renfors proposal is consistent with the protection of private correspondence that is granted by the European Convention on Human Rights. EU directives as well as national legislation say that the responsibility of the Internet Service Providers is to offer a tool for communication not to keep track of what individuals discuss or what information they exchange. The Competition Authority adds that its unreasonable to give private businesses responsibilities that should belong to a government agency. The decisions to ban subscribers from the Internet would be arbitrary without a proper legal process. And so it continues when you read the comments from the major agencies. Agency after agency slams the Internet-ban proposal.
Representatives of the copyright industry are more enthusiastic to closing down citizens Internet connections, and they hold up France as a positive example. In France, government agencies, copyright holders and Internet Service Providers have been forced into an alliance. General Electric describes how it works: In reality it means that the Internet Service Providers must watch what their customers do on the Internet and report it.
The Antipiracy Bureau describes Sweden as a free zone for file sharers, and defends compromising the individuals legal rights with the argument that other countries have done this already. Yet why should Sweden adapt to positions of countries like France? Sweden is one of the worlds most prominent technology nations, and our technology friendliness must be reflected in our policies. As part of a global network, we can offer Internet users all over the world the freedom of information that they are denied in their home countries.
Decriminalizing all non-commercial file sharing and forcing the market to adapt is not just the best solution. Its the only solution, unless we want an ever more extensive control of what citizens do on the Internet. Politicians who play for the antipiracy team should be aware that they have allied themselves with a special interest that is never satisfied and that will always demand that we take additional steps toward the ultimate control state. Today they want to transform the Internet Service Providers into an online police force, and the Antipiracy Bureau wants the authority for themselves to extract the identities of file sharers. Then they can drag the 15-year-old girl who downloaded a Britney Spears song to civil court and sue her.
Will the Antipiracy Bureau be satisfied with this? Probably not, because even the harsher laws now proposed will not stop the file sharing. Already there are anonymization services on the market that make the new laws ineffective. For this reason, the Antipiracy Bureau will demand new tools that further intensifies the surveillance of the Internet. The simple truth is that almost all communication channels on the Internet can be used to distribute copyrighted information. If you can use a service to send a message you can most likely use the same service to send an mp3-song. Those who want to prevent people from exchanging of copyrighted material must control all electronic communication between citizens.
In the late 1970s, the copyright industry wanted to prevent people from recording TV-shows with then-new Video Cassette Recorders. In 1998 the recording industry tried to get mp3 players banned. We politicians have to make clear that we are not prepared to build the technology-hostile control state that would be necessary to satisfy the Antipiracy Bureau and their likes.

Are there any resources for Anonimity for file sharing? I know some peopel use tors and other similiar technologies to try to keep as anonymous as possible, but I was wondering if there were any definitive resources on this topic?

I totally agree with your point of view. I still cannot believe how some governments see these people as criminals. What bothers me the most is the fact really dangerous criminals walk the streets everyday and the government does nothing about that. Even politicians can be criminals. I am not in favor o piracy, but I think sometimes some people just go too far. In any case, I think decriminalize file sharing is a good idea.

Someone who has several thousand dollars in debt may considering filing for bankruptcy as a solution to his problem. This may or may not solve his overall problem but it will stay on his credit rating for over seven years. If someone wishes to avoid filing for bankruptcy in Federal Court he may decide to contact a debt settlement company. Such companies are often run by the credit card companies themselves and they do not always operate in the best interests of the consumer. A person who carries a high amount of credit card debt will probably welcome an intermediary who can negotiate for him. Such a person will want to make sure he times the rate company to represent his interests. Usually this refers to a nonprofit organization were a lawyer who specializes in this particular field.
Even a person who files for bankruptcy may find that he still needs to go through a similar process. Federal courts demand that an individual pay back the money he owns as long as it is possible. Court proceedings usually set up a payment plan. The difference between the court case and a settlement that is provided between two companies is that court case discharges the debts after a certain amount of time. As everyone knows the procedure cannot eliminate someone's student loan debts. An individual must either pay these off or learn to live with the consequences of default.
Someone who decides to settle his debts in this manner takes a step toward greater fiscal responsibility. It may result in a slightly lowered credit score for some time. The average person who finds himself in this situation does not have a high credit rating by the time he reaches this point. If he keeps up with the payment he may find that his credit rating increases. Laws passed during the Obama administration prevent the debt settlement companies from advertising their services and telling people that they will set up an account for their benefit. Now the payments someone makes to these companies must go to paying down a person's debt. If someone uses a bankruptcy lawyer he may find that many of his older debts are discharged. After all a company can try to keep a debt alive but it must be removed from a person's records after the statute of limitations runs out. Federal loans are the only exceptions to this particular rule.
Searching for a debt settlement company that meets an individual's needs may not be a fun process. As any adult knows there are many things that are not fun that they must do. It may even be that they are trying to correct some of the consequences of their childish behavior when they reach this stage. For more guides and tips, please click here.

In the past year, Emeli Sandé can already count Madonna as a fan (she LOVES her hair) and Simon Cowell has labelled Emeli as the best songwriter around. She's written songs for the likes of Leona Lewis, Cheryl Cole and Tinie Tempah, performed at last weekend's BAFTA awards official after party and she's now about to receive her critic's choice award gong at The BRIT Awards (if not more, come next week as she's also nominated for Breakthrough Act) Is there anything Emeli Sandé can't do?
In the latest issue of Grazia, we talk exclusively to the stunning 24-year-old medical student-turned-singer/songwriter, she talks about her unconventional path to stardom - 'I thought if I became a doctor I could try to be a musician' - that trademark peroxide mohawk and being introduced to fashion, 'I'm still learning and people are always trying to steer me away from black but I love it!' Emeli told us. Unsurprisingly, Emeli turned up to the studio dressed head-to-toe in black but, gasp, we shot her wearing a yellow Stella McCartney shift dress – although, saying that, it still had black lace on it! As she posed for the camera, we all listened to Drake's Take Care album (from Emeli's own iPhone) and we snacked on chocolate biscuits and cherries. Emeli's only request? A glass of red wine to calm her pre-photo nerves. She needn't have been nervous at all though as the starlet looks absolutely stunning.
See it for yourself in this week's issue of Grazia, out now!

Nah you don't need an entire article. Things like config files, quick howto's and other bits would get lost in the forums. Forums are for discussions I feel. An article/howto/config file won't need discussion. So rather than a million unanswered threads a nice wiki full of content would be better.

WASHINGTON - On Friday evening, activists and those wanting to offer support to the families and victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting gathered outside of the White House for a vigil.
Some held candles, while others held signs that called for stricter gun legislation.
"I thought it was another terrible tragedy, and that if we had sensible gun control it could have been prevented," says Paula Durbin, who participated in the small vigil.
Eduardo Freas echoed Durbin's sentiment.
"The press secretary said that we shouldn't politicize this event, but it seems to me that we say that every time there is one of these gun massacres, and that maybe we should be politicizing them so that something can be done about gun violence," says Freas.
The demonstration and vigil was organized after the second worst school shooting in U.S. history. Twenty elementary school children and six adults were shot at killed in Newtown, Conn.
"Thinking about these children and their families - I can't even imagine," says Alice Chen, another participant at Friday evening's vigil. "I just had to come here and show some sign of solidarity with them."

Rumors were floating around that Nick Dinsmore was given a release by WWE because of backstage politics as opposed to budget cost. Those rumors are gaining steam right now because the company is reportedly interested in hiring Adam Pearce as his replacement. The former NWA champion has been spotted at the performance center a couple of times already this month.
October 21, 2014
Earlier this month, Nick Dinsmore was given a release by WWE after the company refused to sign him to a new contract as a trainer. During a recent interview, he hinted on a return as an in ring performer. Dinsmore did not specify which company he would be signing with, but he did state that it was one of the highest profile wrestling companies in the world.
October 13, 2014
When reports surfaced that Nick Dinsmore was being released by WWE as a trainer, the belief was that it was for budgetary reasons. However, there are now rumors floating around that Dinsmore might have been the victim of backstage politics. No confirmation on the two different factions at odds, but word is that Dinsmore was on the wrong side of that battle.
October 10, 2014
Nick Dinsmore has been released by WWE yet again. This time, though, he was functioning as a trainer for the developmental program. Dinsmore, who formerly wrestled for the company as Eugene, spent a year with the company, and the belief is that management opted not to renew his contract once it expired. Some are saying that this move was done for budgetary reasons.

In a show of resilient he is, Yoshi Tatsu refuses to give up on his dreams of being on the main roster with WWE again. He has been spending extra time with Nick Dinsmore, one of the lead trainers for the company, at the WWE Performance Center, working on his stamina and gaining some pointers on how to present his character on television.
February 15, 2014
While working in OVW, Rob Conway was recruited to join a stable called Bolin Services. The group is now notable because it consisted of guys who all would eventually end up making a name for themselves in WWE. The stable consisted of Conway, Nick Dinsmore, Bull Buchanan, Mark Henry and future heavyweight champion John Cena.
January 27, 2014
Aside from working as a trainer, Nick Dinsmore is also making appearances for NXT as well. At a live event in Tampa this week, the former WWE star showed up in the ring to save Santa Claus and his diva helpers from an attack by Aiden English.
December 20, 2013
Former WWE stars Eugene and Scotty 2 Hotty were both in attendance at the stand up comedy show by Mick Foley last night in Orlando.
