EFF to California Supreme Court: Website Owners Have a First Amendment Right to Defend Content on Their Platform
A bad review on Yelp is an anathema to a business. No one wants to get trashed online. But the First Amendment protects both the reviewer's opinion and Yelp's right to publish it. A California appeals court ran roughshod over the First Amendment when it ordered Yelp to comply with an injunction to take down speech without giving the website any opportunity to challenge the injunction's factual basis. The case is on appeal to the California Supreme Court, and EFF filed an amicus brief asking the court to overturn the lower court's dangerous holding.
The case, Hassell v. Bird, is procedurally complicated. A lawyer, Dawn Hassell, sued a former client, Ava Bird, for defamation in California state court over a negative Yelp review. Bird never responded to the lawsuit, so the trial court entered a default judgment against her. The court—at Hassell's request—not only ordered Bird to remove her own reviews, but also ordered Yelp to remove them—even though Yelp was never named as a party to the suit. (If this kind of abuse of a default judgment sounds familiar, that's not a coincidence; it seems to be increasingly common—and it's a real threat to online speech.)
Yelp challenged the order, asserting that Hassell failed to prove that the post at issue was actually defamatory, that Yelp could not be held liable for the speech pursuant to the Communication Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. § 230 ("Section 230"), and that Yelp could not be compelled to take down the post as a non-party to the suit. The trial court rejected Yelp's arguments and refused to recognize Yelp's free speech rights as a content provider. The California Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's decision, holding that Yelp could be forced to remove the supposedly defamatory speech from its website without any opportunity to argue that the reviews were accurate or otherwise constitutionally protected.
This decision is frankly just wrong—and for multiple reasons. Neither court seemed to understand that the First Amendment protects not only authors and speakers, but also those who publish or distribute their words. Both courts completely precluded Yelp, a publisher of online content, from challenging whether the speech it was being ordered to take down was defamatory—i.e., whether the injunction to take down the speech could be justified. And the court of appeals ignored its special obligation, pursuant to California law, to conduct an "independent examination of the record" in First Amendment cases.
Both courts also seemed to completely ignore the U.S. Supreme Court's clear holding that issuing an injunction against a non-party is a constitutionally-prohibited violation of due process.
EFF—along with the ACLU of Northern California and the Public Participation Project—urged the California Supreme Court to accept the case for review back in August 2016. The court agreed to review the case in September, and we just joined an amicus brief urging the court to overrule the problematic holding below.
Our brief—drafted by Jeremy Rosen of Horvitz & Levy and joined by a host of other organizations dedicated to free speech—explains to the California Supreme Court that the First Amendment places a very high bar on speech-restricting injunctions. A default judgment simply cannot provide a sufficient factual basis for meeting that bar, and the injunction issued against Yelp in this case was improper. We also explained that the injunction violated clear Supreme Court case law and Yelp's due process rights, and that the injunction violates Section 230, which prohibits courts from holding websites liable for the speech of third parties.
As Santa Clara University law school professor Eric Goldman noted in a blog post about the case, the appeals court's decision opens up a host of opportunities for misuse and threatens to rip a "hole" in Section 230's protections for online speech—protections that already seem to be weakening. If not overturned, as the already pervasive misuse of default judgments teaches, this case will surely lead to similar injunctions that infringe on publishers' free speech rights without giving them any notice or opportunity to be heard. The California Supreme Court cannot allow this.

Simple family fare
If you're looking around and wondering how you wound up with 15 spatulas, 12 wooden spoons, eight or so ladles and six kitchen electronics (half of which you have no idea what they do), then it's time to break open some drawers, clear off some shelves and take your kitchen down to its useful and clutter-free basics.
In our kitchen, which is comfortable for one person but a tight squeeze for two, we've narrowed it down to tools -- outside of essentials like pots, pans and mixing bowls, of course -- that are not only used on a regular basis, but serve at least two purposes, if not more.
Dear EarthTalk: I saw an article on sugar's effects on the environment. Has anyone compared different sweeteners (artificial or natural) for their environmental impacts?
-- Terri Oelrich, via e-mail
The production of sugar has indeed taken a huge environmental toll. "Sugar has arguably had as great an impact on the environment as any other agricultural commodity," reports the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), citing biodiversity loss as a result of the "wholesale conversion of habitat on tropical islands and on coastal areas" to grow sugar. WWF adds that the cultivation of sugar has also resulted in considerable soil erosion and degradation and the use of large amounts of chemicals across the tropics and beyond.
ear EarthTalk: I love to cook and when I have the time I make soups, stews and pasta meals in large batches and freeze them. I use leftover plastic containers, but I know this is not good. What kinds of containers are safe for freezer food storage?
-- Kathy Roberto, via e-mail
Reusing leftover plastic food containers to store items in the freezer may be noble environmentally, but it might not be wise from the perspective of keeping food safely frozen and tasting its best when later heated up and served. Many such containers are designed for one-time use and then recycling, so it's not worth risking using them over and over. Likewise, wax paper, bread wrappers and cardboard cartons should not be used to store frozen foods; these types of containers don't provide enough of a barrier to moisture and odors and also may not keep food fresh when frozen.
t's that time of year again --- the mornings are golden, the nights still chilly, the blue jays are calling in the trees out back and the rhubarb has broken through the earth like it has for ten thousand years. Actually, I wonder how old some of these rhubarb plants are. It wouldn't surprise me if they were the same ones transplanted from the Garden of Eden.
On Saturday a friend gave me a huge bundle of rhubarb, on Sunday I cooked it up into the jam that my mother made every year and every morning since I have been eating it on toast with my coffee for breakfast.

here are lots of ways to spend time with kids which do not break the budget. But coming up with ways to spend time with our kids is not always as easy as it sounds. It is easy to grab a movie and pop it in the player to pass a few hours in the afternoon. However, there are other options as well.
Many of these ideas involve the use of the kitchen. Most kids enjoy spending time in the kitchen, because for them food is exciting and something new. Here are five food activities which are fun not only for the child, but also for the adult.
Fast, economical, healthy and flavor-packed, crockpot meals can save you money, time and hassle--and your family will love them! You'll get 250 crockpot recipes for every meal:
SAVE TIME: These recipes are easy to plan ahead, and the crockpot does the work--you're free to do other things instead of standing over the stove tapping your toes.
SAVE MONEY: The cheap cuts of meat in these recipes are better for crockpot cooking, and are more flavorful than expensive ones. Once you taste these dishes, you may find out you prefer brisket to steak!
SAVE DINNER! With a crockpot and this book, you can make tasty, nutritious and inexpensive meals while you work, play or sleep.
ear EarthTalk: Apparently boxed wine (instead of bottled) is becoming all the rage for environmental reasons. What are the eco-benefits of boxed wine over bottled?--Justin J., Los Angeles, CA
With more and more wineries offering organic varieties to lower their eco-footprint, it's no surprise that they're looking at the environmental impacts of their packaging as well. The making of conventional glass bottles (and the corks that cap them) uses significant quantities of natural resources and generates considerable pollution. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the process of manufacturing glass not only contributes its share of greenhouse gas emissions but also generates nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and tiny particulates that can damage lung tissue when breathed in.
Considering cancelling your annual holiday shindig because of cost? No need. "With planning and a little creativity, it's easy to throw a great party without spending a lot of money," says former caterer Denise Vivaldo, author of Do It for Less!

ant to cut your risk of cancer in half? Want to substantially reduce your chance of suffering a heart attack or stroke? Want to live a longer, healthier life? The answer is simple: Eat more fruits and vegetables. At this point, you're probably rolling your eyes, thinking "Been there! Done that!" But before you do, ask yourself how many servings of fruits and vegetables you ate yesterday. Multiple studies show that -- despite a mountain of scientific evidence supporting a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and despite years of listening to top experts (not to mention moms) telling us to eat more fruits and vegetables -- the typical American still eats a measly three servings of fruits and vegetables a day. And if you rule out french fries, which are so high in fat they hardly count, most people are down to two servings. This falls far short of the five servings a day experts keep harping about. To make matters worse, five is actually a minimum recommendation. For optimal health, experts say we should be striving for seven to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day!
Dear EarthTalk: I heard a reference to "Earth-friendly chocolate" and was wondering about what goes into chocolate that would raise environmental concerns.--Ben Moran, Providence, RI
Like coffee beans, the cacao seeds from which we derive chocolate can only be grown successfully in equatorial regions--right where the world's few remaining tropical rainforests thrive. As worldwide demand for chocolate grows, so does the temptation among growers to clear more and more rainforest to accommodate high-yield monocultural (single-crop) cacao tree plantations. What are left are open, sunny fields with dramatically lower levels of plant and animal diversity. Adding environmental insult to injury, most cacao plantations use copious amounts of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides that further degrade the land that once teemed with a wide variety of rare birds, mammals and plants.
ooking is an art. It may not always feel like it, when you're turning out three meals a day every single day like a lot of home cooks! But the more you treat it as a creative endeavor, the easier it gets to face that kitchen. At some point, though, even folks who have a great time cooking realize that their plates lack a certain something, but they aren't sure exactly what--no matter how great the food tastes.
That something is what the pros call presentation. You don't have to go to cooking school to turn out great dishes and to be able to make food that people enjoy, both in taste and appearance. It doesn't take a lot of effort or training to garnish your everyday meals in a way that will make your family sit up and take notice, and take a chore into the realm of creativity.
hat's in that jarred baby food in the cupboard? Chances are there's a ton of sugar and preservatives in it, that's what. The majority of baby foods on the market add sugar to everything, even chicken and peas. And that's not counting the extra salt!
Why should you go homemade? For starters, you'll know exactly what's going into it that way. You'll be able to tailor the ingredients to what your baby needs and likes. The food will be fresh, free of extra sugar and salt, and prepared with good ingredients, as opposed to jarred ones which are often made from bruised fruits and vegetables with chemicals added to even out the taste. The killer reason for me? Homemade baby food isn't only better for baby, it's not only easy to make--but it's incredibly cheap!
ear EarthTalk: I want to give my baby fresh, organic food but I don't have the time to make her special meals. What options are out there?--Marie L., via e-mail
Babies deserve the best possible start in life, so giving them nutritious food is a must, not only for good health but also to establish positive eating habits as early as possible.
According to Consumers Union (CU), publisher of Consumer Reports magazine, commercial baby foods, many of which are made up of condensed fruits and vegetables, can contain high concentrations of pesticide residues. "A lot of these pesticides are toxic to the brain," says Philip Landrigan, a professor of pediatrics and preventative medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. Citing studies that have linked smaller head circumference and reduced intelligence in babies to in utero exposure to pesticides consumed by their mothers, Landrigan says it is best not to gamble when it comes to baby food.
ext to my stove is a clear squeeze bottle filled with dark brown stuff. People usually think it's soy sauce, but they get a shock if they put it on rice. It's not soy sauce, it's molasses.
"Why keep a squeeze bottle of molasses next to the stove?" you're thinking. "How often do you make gingerbread, anyway?" Because in modern American homes, that's about the only time molasses gets pulled out of the slightly gummy back recesses of the cupboard, if there's any in the cupboard at all--for gingerbread at Christmas.
That, friends, is a pity, because molasses is not just a sweetener, it's a flavor enhancer and it packs some serious nutrition.
Just outside my back door is a patch filled with happy buzzing bees. When I need a little rosemary for my chicken, or thyme for my fish, or lavender for a bouquet, I just pop out the door and cut a handful. You're thinking, wow, I'd like to do that too, but I don't know anything about growing herbs.
Good news! You don't need to! Herb gardening is about the simplest form of gardening there is.
An herb garden can be planted just about anywhere that you have space--a strip of dirt beside the front walk would even work. And if you have no outdoor space, herbs can be grown in large containers on a sunny porch or balcony.
The best resource for making Mead, Spruce Beer, or any kind of home-made hooch I've found. Exhaustively researched, it's chock full of interesting anecdotes, fascinating historical and literary references, and more recipes than you can well brew in a lifetime. I love this book.
My first batch of mead isnpired by this book did not prosper but that is soley my own fault as a beginner making stupid mistakes. I have high hopes for the next batch of Mead I've got cooling on the stove as I type.
June is National Iced Tea Month, so I thought I'd take a sec to share some iced tea ideas and links with all y'all--everything from traditional sweet tea, to crisp, refreshing green, to spicy Indian chai.
Click through for ideas!
Usually I make my chai myself, but when I'm in the mood for a treat--especially when it's hot and I don't want to boil water--Oregon Chai concentrate is what I reach for. It's suuuper yummy!
ith our income reduced, we're trying very hard not to let anything in the kitchen go to waste. This takes some organization, and I'm not famous for that. So I'm researching home kitchen management techniques.
I've always prided myself on stocking a pantry properly. I learned this from my mom. It makes pulling a meal together, especially an impromptu one, a lot easier when your shelves are well-stocked. The Reluctant Gourmet's list is a good one, though our shelves also always have coconut oil, coconut milk, good curry powder, and aseptic pack pureed soups. In the basement, we always have jasmine rice, short grain white rice, short grain brown rice and masa harina, which we use like some people use flour for dredging. We keep a variety of non-wheat flours for thickening and baking, since we really shouldn't eat wheat. And my two flavoring blends I always have on hand--my "cheaters"--are herbes de provence and pickling spice, which I keep in a pepper grinder.
My food storage is pretty well organized--I know what is where, and how much I have--except for what's in the refrigerators and freezer. That's where my system falls down. When I know what I have, I'm pretty handy with leftovers, and like my mom I'm famous for making tasty meals appear out of thin air (it's all in the pantry). But in the chill chests, I don't always know what I have.
So how to conquer the cold boxes?
Written in 1832, "The American Frugal Housewife" is remarkably current. While you probably won't be needing to restore kid gloves to their former whiteness, there is still much to be gained from reading the advice Lydia Maria Francis Child gave her readers, including a great number of recipes that I intend to sift through and update in a later publication. Her ideas on thrift, "keeping up with the Joneses," and profiting from the misery of others are as necessary today as they were more than 150 years ago, and probably 150 years hence.

Denver Musician Amanda Capper, Who Is Fighting Cancer, Needs Our Help
Amanda Capper has long been a staple of Denver's music scene.

Denver musician Amanda Capper has played with artists as diverse as Ryan Chrys and the Rough Cuts, Angie Stevens and Something Underground, and at venues ranging from Herman's Hideaway to Red Rocks. It's safe to say she's helped bring a little happiness into a lot of local people's lives.
Now Capper is the one who needs help. About a month ago, she was diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer.
"She's not able to work because she's so sick," says Kobus. "Obviously she'll need money for medical bills and living expenses."
On Thursday, the situation got even more grim, according to Kobus, who says Capper's doctors delivered more bad news.
"They don't think it will be curable," says Kobus, "so they're not going to start treatment."
Kobus says Capper will seek a second opinion and is searching for the right doctors. She's qualified for a program through Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, she says, and is continuing to seek facilities where she'd qualify for a low-income treatment plan.

"She still wants to try and fight it, of course," says Capper. "She's trying to stay strong, but I think that's a front for all of her friends and family. It's pretty hard for her."
Kobus, too, is struggling with Thursday's diagnosis. "After what I found out today...it's really hard to process," she says. "This is my best friend. It's hard not to break down."
Kobus is doing everything she can to help, including establishing the Gofundme campaign, which has raised $5,000 of the $50,000 she hopes to gather for Capper's expenses. Kobus says she's counting on the fact that nearly everyone can relate in some way to Capper's situation.
"Cancer affects everyone," she says. "Everyone knows the struggle. I know times are tough right now for everyone, but just imagine coming down with this."
Any contribution, she says, is greatly appreciated, no matter the amount.
"Every donation counts," Kobus says. "Whether it's one dollar or five dollars, she's grateful for it all. She needs to feel love and not worry about paying bills. All she needs to be worrying about is fighting this."
The Denver music scene, as usual, has begun stepping up to help one of its own. Something Underground and Ryan Chrys and the Rough Cuts have put out collection jars at their shows and are donating a portion of their merchandise sales to Capper's cause.
In Colorado Springs, Mandy Baros Photography has joined the cause as well, donating $5 from every photo shoot they do in October.
"It's cool," says Kobus, "that so many people are coming together for this cause."

Service Recovery Leadership Development Series Hillsdale Community Health Center
Definition of Service Recovery Service Recovery means that a service breakdown has occurred and the problem has been corrected to the customers satisfaction Goal: Help retain customers as loyal
Service Recovery Customers do not expect you to be perfect. They do expect you to fix things when they go wrong. Donald Porter Senior VP, British Airways
Creating A Service Recovery Environment Be A Role Model Ask Staff For Suggestions Solicit Customer Feedback Reward Good Customer Service Behavior Encourage Staff To Use Their Initiative Do Not Talk Negatively About Customers
Establishing The Procedures for Service Recovery Identify the most frequent problems reported by customers Develop options for problem resolution Receive training in Service Recovery processes
SERVICE BREAKDOWN Five Reasons Recovery is Critically Important It keeps the customer loyal It builds company profitability It decriminalizes problem identification It improves service quality awareness and teamwork It identifies complaints by type & severity
How To of Service Recovery Apologize Listen, Empathize, Ask open questions Fix the problem quickly and fairly Offer atonement Keep your promises Follow-Up
Three Major Outcomes of an Effective Service Recovery System It identifies service problems It resolves problems effectively The organization learns from the recovery experience
The Case of the Large Fries When Hans & Sarah pulled into the drive-through lane of their local fast food restaurant, they expected quick service. Unfortunately, a mechanical problem left them trapped in a growing line of restless customers. A loyal customer, Hans left the car to alert them of he problem. Oh, its broke again? came the indifferent response. Go back to your car. Well fix it. A slow 10 minutes later, Hans & Sarah reached the service window. How about large fries instead of small to compensate us for our inconvenience? they asked. No. When Hans asked why not, the conversation quickly broke down. The service providers final response? Heres your food and I hope you choke on it!
KEY POINTS Recovery, or returning an aggrieved customer to a state of satisfaction after a service or product breakdown, has a critical economic impact on your organization. Breakdown involves customer expectations of both outcomes and processes.
KEY POINTS (cont.) Recovering well when things have gone wrong increases customer loyalty and decreases marketing expenses. Planned service recovery ensures that each breakdown is handled creatively and satisfies customer and organizational needs.
KEY POINTS (cont.) Only your customer can tell you how annoying or victimizing a particular service breakdown has been. Only your customer can determine when appropriate recovery has occurred. You can, and should, plan for the unexpected!
KEY POINTS (cont.) When problems occur, customers expect you to apologize, give them a fair fix, treat them like your care, and atone for injuries. Fix the person, then the problem is a good rule unless you can not fix the problem. Planned recovery helps you do both, and do them well.
KEY POINTS (cont.) It is critical to identify recurring problems so that you can make changes and corrections in production and service delivery system. Planned service recovery improves overall service quality awareness and motivates employees to work on the customers behalf to solve problems.
Manager Expectations Review all Comment Cards for trends Participate in investigation and resolution process as requested by Patient Advocate/Administration Use trends/incidents as educational opportunities for your staff
Closing Thought Treat the other man like a gentleman not because he is, but because I am. Benjamin Franklin
Test Questions 1) In the scenario The Case of the Large Fries did this incident really happen? (True) 2) Service Recovery means that a service breakdown has occurred and the problem has been corrected to the customers satisfaction. (True) 3) Service Recovery means you never have to apologize to your customers. (False)

Welcome to Topps Clear Lake
The Texas Offshore Performance Squadron (TOPPS) was formed in 1985 in Clear Lake, Texas by a small group of high performance boating enthusiasts, many of whom had "graduated" from hot rod lake and drag boats…not to mention hot cars! This seemed like a natural progression of the high performance life where one could get out in open waters…away from it all…open up throttles and "let it rip" without any hassles about speed limits or loud exhausts. These hot rod boating enthusiasts were not to be denied.
One summer weekend day, approximately 12 captains with their boats and crews headed to Galveston, Texas from Clear Lake… cruised into Offatts Bayou and stopped at a great "watering hole" known as the Seabreeze Restaurant and Bar. On that beautiful summer day setting on the upper deck a discussion took place on the subject of starting a High Performance Boat Club. By a show of hands it was decided that a High Performance Boat Club would be fun and give others with the same mindset an opportunity to join in. A club name, logo, set of bylaws, and the election of officers soon followed. Gary Gibson was elected TOPPS first President, Max Westerfield became TOPPS second President and the club saw a quick rise in membership throughout its first decade with members' boats topping 105 in numbers. TOPPS had a small armada of very fast boats (by mid-90's standards) and became a force to be reckoned with on the Gulf of Mexico coast. Throughout the years TOPPS has donated over $100,000 dollars to charities like the Sunshine Kids amongst others and also to the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce for their Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular.
TOPPS mission statement in part was to promote offshore racing…and did it ever! TOPPS was a club affiliated member of ABPA (American Power Boat Racing) for many years. There were many TOPPS members who also raced the national offshore circuit and several were inducted into the APBA Hall of Fame including Red Adair, Curtis Morris, Bill Westberry, Curt Harbor and Rodney Rudell. Other members who also raced include Jack Carmody, Craig Edwards, Grant Greytok and Loyd Thornton just to name a few. TOPPS was also very instrumental in organizing and staffing many national offshore races, including race sites in Galveston, Corpus Christi, South Padre Island, Biloxi, New Orleans, and Key West. TOPPS members are extremely proud of the fact that they did not receive any compensation for themselves or their boats in volunteering as Medical, Patrol, Rescue and Turn boat personnel and the many members who spent countless hours of their expertise and knowledge on the Officiating and Administration of these races.
With Poker Runs now dominating the high performance offshore boating scene, TOPPS can be proud of its 26 years of consecutive Poker Runs. TOPPS is now entering its 28th year and in spite of the fact that members are sometimes strained by the cost and maintenance of the boats and the rising cost of fuel, the TOPPS Boat Club is alive and well and looking forward to the future of HIGH PERFORMANCE BOATING!

Her name was Minora Justice or MJ but they called her either: Lotse—Quenya for Small Flower, San Na—Quenya for Amen, Manaquenta for Blessed, Olote for Blossom, Menta for Cause to go, Malta for gold, Umaia for Demon, Namie for Desire, Eruva for Divine, Oire for Eternity, Tendile for Feeling, and Ruscuite for Foxy.
Her Elven name...did I mention that she had Elven blood?... is Eruanna Ciryapanda meaning 'Of Grace' and 'Haven'. Her ancestry was traced to Lord Elrond of Rivendell.
MJ has 2 given names with the elves: Her Royal Name Eruanna Ciryapanda and her common name Raiwe Sive.
She sat across from Lord Elrond and his sons, with Galadriel and Celeborn on his left side and Thranduil and Legolas on his right.
"I don't see why everyone's makin' such a fuss over me," She mumbled, shifting in her seat.
"You see, young one, when Lord Elrond told us of his vision of your coming and then of your arrival...well, we had to see you," Galadriel said softly.
"Still don't explain nothin'. Don't explain why everybody's starin' at me," She grumbled.
"Well, my dear...I wish to know your name," Celeborn spoke up.
"Which one? I have so many. There's my human name Minora, then there's the Elven nicknames: Lotse, San Na, Manaquenta, Olote, Menta...no idea as to how I got that one, Malta, Umaia...because I have a nasty temper, Namie because your young subjects think me pretty, Eruva, Oire, Tendile because I'm a Telempath, and Ruscuite...how I got that one is a little embarrasing."
"Then there's the one that," pointing to Elrond, "He gave me...Eruanna Ciryapanda. And the one that my best friend gave me Raiwe Sive," She answered.
"Which do we call you?" Elrond asked.
"Personally I prefer Tendile...made me feel like I was a person and not some object for usin'," She replied.
Elrond understood how she felt.
"Are you an only child, Tendile?" Thranduil asked.
"No. I gots 8 sisters: Arca, Runa, Naina, Raina, Lossea, Sahtie, Neldie, and Lantasire."MJ hung her head.
"Any brothers?"Legolas saw that she was sad.
"6 by blood...half or full, then there's 4 adopted and 3 foster," She answered.
She could read that they wanted to know about her brothers.
"And I know what yur thinkin'. Yous wanna know 'bout my brothers," She sighed, "The three foster brothers are Zhane, Adam, and Luke. Elven descent, yeah. All my siblings are. The 4 adopted are Toa...he was found in the woods...so 'Wood'...(half-hearted chuckle), then there's Saila...his parents were teachers, Selya...a pain in the ass, but I love him, and Solme...Dad found him on a beach,"
"And for your information," She looks Legolas in the eye, "I DO have a speech problem. It's called my 11 brothers." She looked satisfied when Legolas sat back.
"How did you know?" He gasped.
"I'm a mind reader and a feeling reader, hence TELEMPATH. Sometimes I wonder about you...wonder if'n all your years done scrambled yur brain," She smiled.
"So, you ARE from the future," Elladan finally spoke.
"Yep. And your brother is my grandpa," She was delighted in tweeking with them.
The Elves' reactions ranged from shock to amusement.
"So my father would be your ancestor?" Elrohir said slowly.
"Yes...and you don't hafta speak slow. Ain't stupid, just corrupted by the many years of stupidity that is my brothers," She smiled when she saw Celeborn laughing.
"You know my son in the future?" Thranduil asked.
"Yep. He's the one that named me Raiwe Sive," MJ answered.
Celeborn gasped deeply a few times before speaking.
"Try not ta choke on your tongue, Kel," She grinned.
"Kel?" He questioned.
"I couldn't say your name as a kid, so Lego-locks here shortened it for me," She grinned again.
"Lego-locks?"Celeborn smiled at her.
"Well, Legos are a buildin' toy and whens I was 4, he's was babysittin' me. While he was asleep on the couch, I tied some of them into his hair, hence Lego-locks. Rumil gave him that name, actually. Laughed his ass off to see little blue, red, green, yellow, white, black, and brown buildin' pieces hanging in his hair," She laughed.
MJ...now called Tendile...wondered why they were being so...nice to her.
"If you are wondering...and I know that at least one or two of you are...I can talk right...I just never have found a use to," She spoke up...in perfect Sindarin.
"You taught me."Tendile
"What were you like?"Tendile
"You dyed your hair. Used magic to cover your ears. You found out a long time ago that people were a little unreceptive to your kind...our kind...so you hid them with a glamour."Tendile
"You let your hair get really long...and I mean REALLY long...at least it looked that way to me when I was 6. It was all the way to your calves. I found out when I was 10 that part of it was fake. Your wife...oops."Tendile
Tendile let it slip.
"Who will he marry?" Thranduil asked.
"She hasn't technically been born yet. She will not be for another 3 years," She answered sheepishly.
"Is she an elf?"Thranduil
Tendile looked at Legolas.
"Pushy one, ain't he?" She laughed.
Legolas smiled.
"Tendile, please," Celeborn said softly.
"She's part elf. When her father dies, she chooses to be...well, you get the idea. I mean, Elrond went through it, so did Arwen and the twins."Tendile groaned heavily.
"Such sorrow for such a little one," Galadriel spoke up.
"Well, when you see a grown elf cry like a baby about his father-in-law, you would feel sad too," She sniffed.
"What is her name?" Legolas asked.
"Luthien. Named for the Original. And I know what your thinking and don't say it aloud," She warned.
"Why shouldn't he?"Thranduil was frustrated with Tendile.
"Because, Grumpy, his father-in-law is the KING OF GONDOR," She snapped.
She knew she had them there.
"He marries...Aragorn's youngest?" Elrond gasped.
"Yeah,he does. There's Eldarion...as you know...and there's Celebrian and Gilraen...last but not least is Luthie. My nickname for me. And it just so happens that not only is Legolas my only friend, he's my godfather," She said coldly, before standing and leaving the meeting room.
Ten made it out of the city and into the forest before collapsing against a tree and crying.
"Aron, Melamin, resta Minora ra se is in need of love," She cried.
Aron Arcande was her first friend...her first love.
"Aron, where are you when I need you, Melamin? You must be rolling over in your grave hearing this," She laughed, "My Mellon, my Melamin...(sob)...I cannot do it, Aron, I cannot do this alone. It is too much for me...I cannot be here...Why am I here?"
Ten curled up on the forest floor and cried herself to sleep. When she dreamed, she dreamt of the gorgeous and sexy Balrog slayer.
"Minora, melamin, what worries you?" He asked.
Tendile turned to the man.
"Glorfindel..." She sighed, "Many things, baobei, many things."
Glorfindel came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and nuzzled her neck.
"Why do you call me precious, melamin?" He asked her.
"For the same reason you call me melamin, baobei," She smiled as he nibbled the tip of her ear.
Tendile moaned deeply as Glorfindel sucked the tip into his mouth.
"You love distracting me, don't you, baobei?" She squealed as he tickled her ribs.
"Yes, I do, melamin, I do," He said before he turned tail and ran across the bedroom.
Tendile followed him into the 'living room' and pinned him to the floor.
"Think it funny to tease, baobei?" She said as she sat on his naked stomach, nibbling his neck.
Glorfindel whimpered as she worked her way up his neck.
"Me thinks I have the upper hand," Tendile laughed.
"(moan) Me thinks...(moan)...you do," Glorfindel managed to say as she licked his ear, brushing the sensitive tip with her teeth.
Tendile enjoyed feeling the elder elf writhing under her like that, gasping for air as he moaned his pleasure.
"My love, you are vocal," She smiled, stopping her assault on Glorfindel.
"But, later, my love, I will make YOU scream," He whispered to her.
"Careful, Melethril," She chuckled as she nibbled his ear again.

File Sharing with Apollon and GiFT
The operators of the popular Internet-based file
sharing network, Kazaa, only provide software for
Windows systems, but the GiFT project brings
Kazaa support to Linux.
Kazaa [1], the popular Internetbased
file sharing network, has
the biggest user-base and offers
its users the widest range of services. So
far, Kazaa has owed its popularity to
Windows users – possibly due to the
prominence of illegal copies of expensive
software packages, which are useless
to most Linux users. Additionally,
Kazaa makes it difficult for the Linux
community to join the network, as the
peer-to-peer software Kazaa provides is
restricted to Microsoft operating systems.
The GiFT project [2] now has a Linuxbased
plugin for users who want to
share files worldwide via Kazaa. The
plugin implements the Fasttrack protocol
used by Kazaa and
additionally supports
the Gnutella [3] file
sharing network. At the
same time, OpenFasttrack
provides an alternative
to Kazaa. There
is another plugin for
the Ares network [4],
and the GiFT homepage
also refers to plugins
for Napster [5],
Soulseek [6] and EDonkey
[7], which are
incomplete or no
longer support the current
version. Box 1 describes how to add

Please have a look at our Forum Rules. Lets keep this forum an enjoyable place to visit.
Hello everyone. when you use the bow, should you start with a full stoke of the bow.with bow up then bow down. i notice in videos they use all parts of it. is there certain time you just use a small portion of the bow, to the whole bow.
i don't have one yet but just trying to do some homework before i can get one.been practicing on reading music.and doing some of the exercise game fm has on here.
As a beginner I probably am not the right person an answer, but what I have found is that I experiment alot with things like this. I will practice scales and while doing so, I will angle the bow some, or change pressure after each full run of scales. This allows me to see and hear the difference.

Guenter Artz's Super Rabbit – Photo Gallery
Spanish rally ace Antonio Zanini desperately wanted a Ferrari for the tarmac-oriented Spanish national rally championship. A Ferrari dealer in Spain coughed up this 308 GTB.
Zanini dropped the car off with Michelotto, the preparer responsible for the factory-built 308 Group B cars. Basically, instead of coming out of the factory as a body-in-white and being converted to Group B spec later, this was a dealer car upgraded to Group B spec in period.

Guitar Maintenance: Adjusting the intonation
A guitar's intonation means whether the sound is sharp, flat or in tune when a note is played at different locations along the neck. Improper intonation may mean a guitar still sounds in tune when played towards the head, but will sound out of tune the further down the body you play.
How can I tell if I need to adjust my guitar intonation?
- Play the lowest string (E) open (i.e. no frets held) and assure it is in tune. Use an accurate tuner for this.
- Repeat this with the rest of the strings.
- At the twelfth fret, hold the low E string in place. Using the tuner, check that this string is also showing as an in tune E, the same as it was in step 1.
- If this does not show as in tune, intonation must be adjusted.
- Repeat for all strings.
Adjusting the intonation
- Locate the bridge of the guitar. Look for the adjustment screws. In general these face away from the neck and pickups, although this may not always be the case.
- Locate a string that needs adjustment, checking again the string is in tune.
- Play the string at the twelfth fret to check if it is flat or sharp.
- If Flat: Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw a little to the left. This should move the saddle the string is resting on forwards. This shortens the string and makes the tone sharper.
If Sharp: Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw a little to the right. This should move the saddle the string is resting on backwards. This lengthens the string and makes the tone flatter. 5. Check if the open string is in tune, as in the above steps. Repeat this for the twelfth fret of the same string. If the string is still out of tune at the twelfth fret, make another small turn on the adjustment screw in the appropriate direction. 6. Repeat these steps for all out of tune strings.

Hollyburn Lodge Farewell BBQ - April 24, 2015
On Friday, April 24, a large group of Hollyburners & their guests gathered inside Hollyburn Lodge at First Lake to say farewell to the old Lodge, which opened on January 16th, 1927, and to welcome a renewed Lodge, which is scheduled to open in November, 2015. Included in the video is a performance of "Those Were The Days, My Friends . . . " by the Druids, the presentation of a 10,000 cheque by Dave Barker, West Vancouver Historical Society, which pushed donations over the $1,000,000 mark, and comments by Jackie Swanson, HRA, Iola Knight HHS, and Brent Leigh, Deputy Chief Administrator for DVW. An unexpected snowfall created some logistical problems for organizers earlier in the day, but added to the festive mood.

Tax Load Spread
by Michael Stein
Some interesting, but not entirely surprising, facts emerge from the Budget documents that were made available when the Minister of Finance delivered his Budget speech on 22 February 2012.
The estimated amount of income tax collections from individuals for the 2012/2013 fiscal period is R295 735 million. This amount is expected to come from just 1 313 050 individuals, while a further 4 864 000 individuals will derive taxable incomes that fall below the proposed income tax threshold at which taxable incomes actually result in a liability for income tax, when account is taken of the tax rebates.
More statistics: 1,7% of the individuals who will pay income tax will pay 24,3% of the total income tax, 2,8% will pay 13%, 22,6% will pay 32%, 43,9% will pay 26,5% and 29% will pay 4,3% of the tax collections.
A very small percentage of the total population of South Africa, which I imagine is of the order of 50 million people, pay income tax. In fact, if we assume the population is indeed 50 million people, it turns out that a mere 2,6% of the population will pay all the income tax and just 0,2% of the population will pay 24,3% of the total income tax collected.
These figures reveal how skewed the distribution of wealth is in this country and how a minute proportion of the population pay most of the income tax. But we should not forget that the entire consuming population pays vat and that the poor also bear at least their fair share of this tax.
