Anything that can be expressed in the digital

books, software and computer games is now within reach of the masses.
Copying is illegal in Australia, but is it unethical? Do you copy?
This topic is now closed - this is what you said.
It must be in my blood. My father was a QC and a number of my siblings entered the legal profession in different capacities. Even as the 'black sheep' of the family, it manages to come through!

Hmmmm, ohh yeah baby!

Excuse me while I fall off the chair in sheer awe! I've been a Leo Kottke fan for years and years. And if you can play vaseline machinegun, then I take my hat off to you too!

when i was studying I.T, i did alot of mass copying during my uni days. nearly everyone had cd burners (dvd burners didnt exist then), so making copies of software apps, mp3s, vcd movies and pc games were very common. thank god for technology. i use the dvd burner on my sony viao laptop to copy various microsoft software. i also have a microsoft xbox. its got a neat built in feature, allowing me to copy music cds (distributed by sony records). i like to thank the above corporations for making my copying possible.
RE: "I see both of you are dispensing legal advise now...."
Yes in the past week we have learnt that Ben-e-boi is a non-drinking, vegetarian, meditating, Buddhist, Para legal.
But all that cake is gunna kill him.
Copying, scanning, digitizing, remastering... its all in the colour
I tried to scan my Australian passport once, way back. Gasp, horror, foul...
And it wasn't even copy-right protected.
A little while ago one of my original data cd's got scratched making it unuseable and I had no option but to purchase another copy at a cost of $250. Now I use a backup copy and keep the original safely locked away.

Requested response to 'Dismayed and Confused'
I understand your indignation at the insensitive burner-troll in your store. I'd be indignant too.
At the risk of sounding like a smartarse, I have to point out that traditional video stores like the one operated by 'Dismayed and Confused' have not only had their titles dubbed and copied for many years, but more importantly, they are being gradually pushed out of the market by the big media corporations, and a few maverick video/dvd rental outfits that operate without a video store as such - they just use a website and an online ordering system.
The online ordering system is incredibly popular and convenient (though, oddly enough, I prefer going down to a real store and looking at the shelves in person myself) but even this 'new' system will be phased out quite soon by Fo>
The only way I can see a traditional video store operating successfully in the next few years would be if they specialised in hard to find titles, diversified or branched into web rentals and occupied the niche apart from the corporate giants.
Just A Guy
i personally think copying ok but to a certain extent. if the copying is for private use then sure ok. but if the copying is making a person illegal money then it is wrong.
Probably the high point of my -- 20 years ago in "Gastown" district of Vancouver I was busking (hungry, was I), sliding my 12-string through Leo Kottke's version of "Vaseline Machine Gun", coins were dropping into my case, when who should walk by but the man himself!
He listened through to the end, I looked up and almost fainted. He said, "You should hammer off the drop D at the end of the bridge and hold the harmonic at the 12 fret, high E".
Did he reach down and take a dollar? No -- but maybe because the song was originally written by John Fahey.
Robert Ruork
Adrainne Pecotic fails to understand something. A DVD is considerably more easily broken than a crystal glass. Even when using a DVD normally, scratches are almost impossible to avoid. Handing a DVD to a child (How many children's movies are sold on DVD?) pretty much guarantees that it will be damaged.
Either Pecotic has no children, or he is among the 5% or so of the population who are wealthy enough not to have to worry about blowing $30 - $40 to replace a damaged DVD.
For the rest of us, making copies of DVD's is no less sensible and no more criminal than making a tape copy of a vinyl LP.
The terms of the licensing agreement on Games, CD's and DVD's have at their heart the idea that one license gives one person the right to use the product at any time they choose. It is totally unreasonable for Mr Pecotic to insist that I pay a second (or third, or fourth) licence fee on the content of a DVD when I can only watch one copy. It is possible to buy a replacement CD for some games, as long as you live in America, but I cannot go to Myer to buy a replacement DVD for just the cost of the disc ($2-$3) as I SHOULD be able to.
Zakly Wright
Eh...technically it's also illegal to use your VCR to tape stuff off the television....
It's pretty simple, record and DVD company execs - make it possible for me to afford DVD's and CD's and I won't burn them. Really. I'd rather the money was going to the artist/s that I'm "stealing" from - but until you get your acts together and make things more reasonable, that's not going to happen.
We all know how much those CD's and DVD's are worth - you can't fool us anymore...
I see both of you are dispensing legal advise now....
....good on you.
I burn dvd's after purchasing of course for lil RE, cos he likes to load them himself. In the process he scratches them. I don't care about the wiggles but when he does that with the Hi-5 DVDS it gets to me.... only a little bit. I like the blondie there!!
mic - region coding came into being for a number of reasons.
1. Different regions have different distributors. Naturally, if you own the distribution rights to, say, Australia, you don't want Australians buying it from another country, no matter how much it costs.
2. Producers want to optimise release times to maximise profit. That means that the DVD release comes after cinema run. A movie might be on DVD in the US before it is here, which can result in people seeing the DVD rather than the cinema release. This undercuts profits.
Mind you, most cheap DVD players are not region-coded, or allow it to be switched off. Curiously, it's usually the very expensive ones that stick the buyer with region coding. (And it sucks to be rich *and* gullible, don't it?)
The Human Hand Grenade
Is the drop in recording industry profits from the sale of CD's etc due to pirating the reason behind the exorbitant prices being requested for concert tickets!! Over $100 for most of them only to be surrounded by twenty thousand people! What ever happened to intimate gigs at decent prices.
Tinkerbell Jones
I'd like to be in an industry that can afford to lose $45 mill p.a. & still have a fat profit... where's the ethics in that.
On a legal level i don't think anyone can say they they aren't 'stealing' (or copyright infringing or whatever term you want to use).
But at the same time, until the media companies make a serious effort to give consumers what they are after, they will continue to suffer piracy. Some examples:
DVDs and the region codes. It's ridiculous that in this international age that I cannot (theoretically) use a DVD from the US here in Australia.
Ripping CDs to mp3s for use in my iPod. Did you know that that is illegal despite that fact that every corner store sells portable mp3 players these days.
Repeated release of DVD movies. The cut down version, then the special edition, then the criterion edition, then the ultimate edition. And of course, they never announce these later editions - they hope to trick people into buying the first 'version' and then re-buy the later editions. I want to buy the ultimate edition ... but since I can't get it until 12 months after the basic edition comes out ... well i'm going to copy the basic edition.
Previewing of music ... there is very little opportunity to preview the tracks on an albumn. What is with that? With any other purchase, you can at least see/touch/examine the product before parting with your cash. Yet the music industry believes that you will part with $30 for a product sight unseen (well unheard I guess is more accurate). Yeah right.
Copy Happy
A real artist gets the most joy out of singing and pleasing people anyway, way too much money gets sent to them from album sales and even worse the music companys are drianing all the money from the people that should get them most. Entertainment money should go towards building infrastrucutre and entertainment in third world countries so they stop bombing us greedy people. To me Copying is ok.
Mr Black
region encoding was a means to try and stop grey importing. where you purchase a dvd from another market for a cheaper price. it was only implimented for the movie industry to make more money. what a suprise huh.
if you have a look at a country like New Zealand region coding of DVD players became illegal after a ruling from their anti competition body.
You might like to keep this site handy as it is a useful reference for Australian federal and state legislation and case law.
ben-e-boi (in residence at Boi Palace)
Any law that cannot be policed is unworkable and wrong. People see organisations making vast amounts from DVD's etc and see how prices come down when there is a bit of competition. The other point that was raised is that if you would never have bought the item anyway, you have deprived no one of their due. The assumption that the number of pirated copies equates to lost revenue is stupid. The real answer is to put a levy on blank media so you really do end up paying. Of course the greedy industry does not want that.
Paul Pearce
Ben C
"Are you sure of that law? I remember phoning the communications minister some years ago to ask about this, someone from his department called me back. She said that I could make a copy for backup, but unless the original was destroyed I could not use the backup copy."
I think you were probably given inadequate advice, though technically correct.
I wouldn't worry too much about using a backed-up copy, so long as you are not involved in anything explicitly illicit. Regulatory agencies are more likely to spend their resources chasing the big fish rather than going after people who have made an innocent but technical breach of the legislation.
If your query was from a business perspective, I would recommend getting legal advice. Nearly two years ago I was involved in a feasability study to look at copying seven linear kilometres of paper-based records to an electronic storage system. In the process we had to get legal advice on some of the regulatory issues that were raised.

Microdermabrasion is one of the easiest, most effective non-surgical options for facial rejuvenation. It is a less aggressive version of dermabrasion that makes use of minimally abrasive instruments to remove the upper layer of old skin. Microdermabrasion can treat sun damage, light scarring, discoloration, and even stretch marks using microparticles to slough off the upper epidermis and stimulate the growth of new skin. Microdermabrasion can also lead to the production of natural collagen which keeps skin looking voluminous, young and natural.
Microdermabrasion uses mechanical exfoliation and is also known as the "Diamond Peel" method, because the process utilizes medical grade diamond chips, rather than messy crystals, that gently vacuum and exfoliate the skin. Dead skin cells are loosened, pores and deep comedones are unclogged for waste to be naturally removed by the body.
Microdermabrasion is a safe and effective method of diminishing the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, photo-damage and hyperpigmentation. Microdermabrasion can also soften wrinkles and decrease pore size. The treatment will also increase circulation and lymph flow to bring immediate clarity to the skin. Microdermabrasion is ideal for pre-operative and post-operative patients. We highly recommend Microdermabrasion in conjunction with Photofacial/IPL treatments.
Microdermabrasion is usually offered in a series of 6 or more treatments spaced about 1-2 weeks apart. A single treatment will usually last around 30 minutes and the treatment requires no down-time. It is often referred to as the lunchtime peel.
Microdermabrasion performed in a medical office is not to be confused with home microdermabraision kits, which provide little more than an overly aggressive and overly abrasive scrub. Microdermabrasion performed by a licensed medical provider is a highly effective treatment, but patients should keep in mind that they will be removing the top layer of skin. This means that their skin will be more vulnerable for a few days afterwards. Vigorous exercise and direct sun exposure can easily irritate the skin for several days and should be avoided per the advise of your physician. Patients should be careful to wear quality sunscreen for at least a week until the skin repairs its own ability to protect itself.

MDM (Market Direction Model): Distribution days
Published : September 14 2010 at 14:53 ET
Q: Since the MDM went to a buy on 1 September, I don't really see any "traditional distribution" days, let alone four of them. I'm assuming most of those distribution days happened before the buy signal on the 1st? Do you use a rolling one month count regardless of follow-through day signals?
A: In general, I use a rolling 20 day count regardless of follow-through day signals. That said, there are exceptions to this that depend on unusual market action.
While the current trend since the follow-through day has been up, my studies have shown it is best to not cancel distribution days simply because of a follow-through day.

text: So, the Emmys are Sunday night. I don't know if I'll watch the show, but I thought I'd do some predictions for a few categories since that's always fun. What are everyone else's predictions? Comedy Series: Will Win: Modern Family Should Win: Parks and Recreation or Community (However, neither was nominated so of the nominees I'd give it to Girls) Comedy Actor: Will Win: Jim Parsons (Emmys like to repeat) Should Win: Louis C.K. (This is a picked based on nothing besides the fact that I enjoy Louis C.K. as a comedian. I have not seen his show) Comedy Actress: Will Win: Julia Louis-Dreyfuss (seems like a perennial Emmy favorite) Should Win: Probably either JLD or Amy Poehler Drama Series: Will Win: Mad Men (again, they like to repeat winners although I think this was not as strong a season) Should Win: Homeland or Breaking Bad (both were exceptional this year) Drama Actress: Will Win: Claire Danes Should Win: Claire Danes (outstanding performance on an outstanding show) Drama Actor: Will Win: Bryan Cranston Should Win:Bryan Cranston or Damien Lewis (I know Bryan Cranston has a billion Emmys, but his work this year on Breaking Bad was especially memorable. If they give it to someone new, I think Damien Lewis might pull the upset for his equally strong work in Homeland) Supporting Drama Actress: Will Win: Maggie Smith (I hope I'm wrong but this seems like how the voters would go.) Should Win: Christina Hendricks Mad Men (She did a lot more on her show this year, than spout out snappy one-liners a la Maggie Smith)

Federal agents track down suspect in officer assault
EUREKA, Calif. - Federal agents moved in Thursday morning, serving warrants in Trinity and Humboldt Counties to find a suspect wanted for attempted murder in connection with an assault on a U.S. Forest Service Officer.
Agents arrested Silverio Sanchez, 22 of Eureka, after they said they found him hiding in the attic of a home in the 2500 block of Garland Street in Eureka. Sanchez is held on $5,410,000 bail.
Sanchez had been wanted since March 15 for an assault on a U.S. Forest Service officer. The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office said he was involved in a vehicle pursuit with on Highway 36. A forest service officer was injured after being struck by the suspect's vehicle and shots were fired by USFS officers.
Detectives sought warrants for charges including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, felony evading a police officer, and a variety of other charges. Sanchez was already wanted on five other outstanding felony and misdemeanor arrest warrants. Those warrants included charges of rape, kidnapping, and assault with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, vandalism, drugs, and battery.
Thursday morning approximately 7 a.m., a parole and search warrant were served at the 2500 block of Garland Street, Eureka. Federal marshals, U.S. Drug Enforcement Agents, CHP officers, Eureka Police Department, Humboldt County Sheriff's Office and California State Parole conducted the search.
Officers located four adults and four children in the residence on Garland Street. Investigators learned Sanchez was hiding inside the attic. The officers tried to call Sanchez out of the attic, but he refused their commands. The officers deployed a canine, and Sanchez was taken into custody. He received minor bites to his feet.
Officers also arrested Silverio Sanchez's brother, 26-year-old Ronald Sanchez, Jr. who is on active parole. He was taken into custody for parole violation, and additional charges are being sought for for being a felon in possession of a firearm, a felon being in possession of ammunition and harboring a fugitive.
Officers in Trinity County served a search warrant at the same time at a parcel at Ruth Lake.
Officers located several travel trailers and storage containers. They said they located two of Sanchez's relatives on the property, along with an assault rifle and ammunition.
Investigators said one of the Trinity County deputies was assaulted by Damen Carlson, 19. Carlson was arrested for assaulting a police officer.
"Today's capture of Silverio Sanchez is a testament to the dedication and hard work of all involved and the cooperation of several agencies," said Don O'Keefe United States Marshal for the Northern District of California.
A Humboldt County Superior Court Judge granted a bail enhancement for Sanchez based upon the totality of his crime and risk to community safety. Sanchez's total bail is now set at $5,410,000.00. He remains in the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office Correctional Facility.

Dash lights up with hand on door latch but no key fob
Went out to make sure the cars were locked (garage undergoing rearranging so they get to rough it tonight). When I put my hand on the door handle on the 2014 Overland, the dash lights illuminated. I stood there a few seconds and the dash lights went out.
At first, I thought I might have had the fob in my pocket or maybe the fob range was longer than I thought, but when I tried again to see if the door would unlock, it stayed locked.
Got me to wondering why Jeep might think there is value in having the dash light go on when someone who does not have a fob touches the door handle. I could understand if the dash lights were accompanied by a booming voice saying, "The next thing you will feel is 15,000 volts", but otherwise, I don't get it.
Re: Dash lights up with hand on door latch but no key fob
Thats just the Jeeps way of telling you that you don't have a key fob.
I like the 15,000 volt idea though but it should zap anyone that doesn't have the fob on the first try.

Ripoff Report
premier timeshare solutions4400 NorthCorp Pkwy Palm Beach Gardens, Florida United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I bought a timeshare in 2004 (actually I was pressured into buying it but that's another complaint!) I have been trying to get rid of it ever since. I received a call from Nathan Christian around 8/26/09. He asked if I was still interested in selling my timeshare
When I asked him about the difference, he skipped over it like I had never asked. At this point red flags were going up all over. He said that he'd FedEx the contract out to me, they'd set everything up and that it would take 90 days to process the sale, he just needed a credit card. He gave me his "direct" number (561) 329-8811 (which was never answered and I never heard back from him) and the customer service number 1-877-470-4779 (which is NEVER answered and the mail box is ALWAYS full). I had to ask him repeatedly to tell me the name of his company and to slow down so I could get all the info. He started to get really impatient with me when I kept asking him to repeat things. I mentioned that I had been scammed before. He said that he understood my skepticism and they could get my money back from the other companies. Stupidly I gave him my credit card number, got the paperwork in the mail, signed it and sent it back but for some reason, THANKFULLY, it was never charged. I decided to post my experience with this and other companies so others don't get ripped off. Good luck!!

Timeshare Resale Scams
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 11, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, December 11, 2013
The resale of a timeshare is a legitimate business. Companies agree to advertise a timeshare for a fee on their websites. As with advertising, the membership doesn´t need to sell in order the fees to be legitimate. The difference between an honest timeshare resale company and a scam, is when the company falsely suggest they have a buyer waiting for their timeshare, or picture unrealistic, overoptimistic selling possibilities
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
Advertisers above have met our

Heather Christle's "awful interview"
Heather Christle! We told you about her telephoning, and so did the Guardian. She even spoke with the BBC! Well that's all over now, baby—did you call and hear a poem? If you can't get enough, no worries: we happened upon this "awful interview" with Heather at Vouched (which calls to mind a certain dialogue), so the fun may continue:
To help promote your poetry collection, The Trees The Trees, you released your phone number on the interwebs so that people could call you hear you read them a poem. So here's my question: did you ever consider reading them with a foreign accent or an impersonation of some sort? Like, if I called you right now could you read me one as Sam Elliot?
I'm not a very good cowboy. Once at a party in Portland where I only knew a couple people, I pretended to be Russian. It pretty much worked. I don't think I will try it again.
What inspired you to pretend to be Russian? Have you ever been to Russia? I like the fuzzy hats they wear, you know- Ushankas.
I was inspired by a dress I was wearing, a then-recent purchase from an antique shop. I've not been to Russia, though I would love to go. Never enough money. I too love those hats. I'm looking forward to moving back to Massachusetts, where I will once again have the opportunity to wear notable winter hats. My sister has been the custodian of a really excellent one during my tenure in the south. It is the kind of hat that makes people talk to its wearer. We've been collecting conversations and comments it has caused:

* B: No.

Borsato - "Siesta's Price" - Fabulous Multi-Figural Sculpture
This is such a great example of Antonio Borsato's genius. It combines incredible detail, with a touch of humor and, most of all, an actual glimpse at humanity! The little nap the vendor is taking will cost him a small piece of fruit. I imagine that these two are actually friends, the one getting more satisfaction out of his petty prank than the actual prize involved. No wonder Antonio Borsato is considered the Michaelangelo of the 20th Century, with some of his works even displayed in the vatican; and in significant collections and museums, including the personal collection of Henry Kissinger. To appreciate Borsato, one must view the porcelain in the round (he always sculpted pieces that were complete from any angle; no flat blank surfaces.) I always find yet another detail I had not noticed. This piece is rich with details. I love the expressions; the wonderful fingers; even the natural folds of the sleeves.
This is in Very Good to Excellent Condition with no losses.
This measures 12 1/4" x 7 3/4" x 10 1/2".
It requires special packing.
Borsato porcelain sculptures are considered the cream of Capodimonte porcelain.
The book Capodimonte Collectibles, published in 1990, presents a fascinating history of Capodimonte porcelain, and clearly indicates that some 20th Century artists were included in the term "Capodimonte." Antonio Borsato is featured over and over again as a prime example. His work is pictured on Pages 53, 58, 63, 64, 117, 118, 134, 139, and 153. His trademark (artist's palette) is also shown. This large and complete book outlines the original history, and the various trademarks used for this umbrella term; from unmarked pieces, to a fleur-di-lis in a circle, to the crown with the N, to more modern marks which this book includes the Borsato trademark.

Mar 13, 2013 - The Associated PressPOWELL -- A Utah man who pleaded guilty to holding up banks in four states has been sentenced to more than nine years in federal prison.
U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl of Casper sentenced 32-year-old Joshua Beckstead Thursday.
The judge also ordered Beckstead to pay back the more than $14,000 he stole from the banks in Cody and Cheyenne as well as Montana, Oklahoma and Utah.
The robberies happened last May and June.
Beckstead was in jail in Utah for passing forged checks when a judge allowed him out on May 8 to go to the dentist.
He never showed up or returned to jail. He started the robbery spree the following week by holding up a credit union in Ogden, Utah. He was arrested in Bismarck, N.D.

Ripoff Report
United Tax Group675 W Indiantown Road Jupiter, Florida USA
United Tax Group beware of the ripoff Jupiter Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Called United Tax Group after hearing Dean Druin on an overnight radio program. Was told that Dean was not working at the moment but was on a consultation status with the company. (He has since opened another tax group.) I decided to go ahead and use this company based on the supposed affiliation with Dean Druin.
Was told the fee would be $399.00 and I would be contacted to schedule a time for an interview. After stalling until the refund period had expired, I was interviewed and told that it would be an ADDITIONAL $500.00 to complete my case. It was either pay this amount or forfeit the $399.00 I had already paid.
I had received a notice of wage garnishment for taxes still owed. I was sold a song and dance by United Tax Group about lowering my tax debt, etc, etc, etc.
All they did was get me set up on payment plans...SAME THING I COULD HAVE DONE MYSELF!!!
Hope they have to suffer the consequences some day of ripping people off. If I would have had an extra $899.00 to throw away, I would not have had my tax issue.
STEER CLEAR OF UNTIED TAX GROUP... Check the BBB and read reports to find a more credible company. I would have done this, but was impressed with Dean Druin on the radio and wanted to have "his company" assist me with my tax issues.

#1 UPDATE Employee ..inside information
Understanding the Process
SUBMITTED: Thursday, July 18, 2013POSTED: Thursday, July 18, 2013
It seams as though there may have been a misunderstanding in how the process works. Ricky Minton, you are exactly correct. We charge an initial investigation to find out what is wrong, and to see exactly what the IRS has on recorded in your tax file. We do this to ensure the additional charges are validated by actual records. As far as the time frame in which it takes to get your documents, we are at the complete mercy of the IRS's transcript delivery system.
I am not sure why this would be taken as a "ripp off" for I have your signed agreement where it outlines that very process and would be more than happy to post a copy here or send it directly to you. If you didn't agree with the additional fees, you were more than welcome to make that decision and part ways.
United Tax Group services over 130 resolutions each month, and has assisted over 5000 clients since its inception. We do our very best to provide the best service with each and every client. A few negative remarks won't hide the tremendous value that our clients have come to know.
Thank you for your time!

Loved it! Wish it was included.
- Rachel
I'm glad this scene was cut. I'm not a fan of this whole Erin/Pete storyline. I'm a loyal Andy/Erin shipper for life!
- Becca
so cute! those two are adorable:)
- Pink Dragon
I don't understand the sense of a 'ship' between a tertiary character established in the final season of a show and a secondary character established 4~ years previous with an actual personality and who is already in a relationship.
Guess I'll have to wait and see where this is going.
- anberlin
I'm glad this wasn't in the episode as well! As an Andy/Erin fan I am disappointed in season 9 so far. I was looking forward to just seeing them be a happy couple now. We had a few seasons of cute moments between them, but now that they are together their relationship gets very little attention. I hope the drama that is sure to happen with Pete/Erin just makes Andy realize he's been a jerk. The show has clearly established that Erin really loves Andy…I find it hard to believe that this Pete guy could come in and change all that, but the writers are sure hinting at it. This is definitely not the direction I expected after season 8. :(
- Jan
I think Erin would be a good older-sister-type-friend rather than a romantic interest for Peter. Maybe she could set him up with a cute young gal who works in another office — how about Vance Refrigeration? :-)
- pete
I wish it was included too. But thanks for posting!
- Janet
That was so cute! Pete and Erin are great together. I think it's great if that's where they are taking us this year.
- moneybeets
@Pink Dragon, I think the point of this relationship is to show the "Jim" character flirting with/going after the "receptionist" character (Jim and Pam re-boot). I guess the writers really are trying to bring it full circle, although it doesn't work on the same level since the audience has kind of grown to like Andy/Erin.
- Stephanie
I'm very happy this scene was deleted. I love the Andy/Erin relationship and dislike the direction the show is going with Erin and Pete. I actually dread watching The Office now out of fear of having to sit through scenes like the one posted here.
- theneedforTWEED
@10; I agree with you SO MUCH. I very much love Andy and Erin together, and the last few episodes have gotten me down due to writers' hinting towards a possible breakup (AGAIN). I thought I was the only one who dreaded watching the newer episodes out of fear of a Pete/Erin hookup. Was looking forward to just see 'Arin' develop as a couple this season.
Let's hope the writers have some surprising twists up their sleeves, and this new Pete storyline is none other than just another diversion.
- Roy's Mugshot
God, I hope they break up Andy and Erin. That 40 second scene with Pete had more charm than all the stuff we've seen the past three seasons between Andy and Erin.
- vic
i'm shocked that andy/erin have fans
- Jessie
@moneybeets, I have to disagree with you on one point – I don't think it's true to say that "the audience has grown to like Andy and Erin". In fact, I think that the audience is very much divided about Andy and Erin, and you can see that reflected in the comments on here. I think that the writers are doing something very clever in playing on that ambivalence and creating a genuine love triangle in which the inevitability of one couple or another is not guaranteed. I personally have no idea where they're going with this, and I find it very interesting. But then again, I was never really a fan of Andy and Erin, I never really believed their relationship, it always seemed a little contrived to me. I find Erin and Pete much more compelling, because the writers are doing something with them that they never did with Andy/Erin, but did so well with the show's most popular couple, Jim and Pam, which is give time for a real bond to build between them.
- Peepa
@14; They gave time for a real bond to form between Andy and Erin. Ever since she was introduced to the show and about 2/3 of season 6, the writers were able to effectively show how well these two get along because, pretty much like Michael and Holly, they shared the same quirks and behaviour no one else in the office really had. Andy was the weirdo who more often than not annoyed those he worked with, but then he met Erin who actually loved and played along with all the things about his character that other people just found strange. They really connected in that sense – they were so similar.
This scene with Pete just feels like a really forced, PB&J-wannabe moment to me. Pete just seems like an extremely normal guy who doesn't seem to suit a girl as quirky as Erin.
- Pam
I don't like Andy and Erin or Pete and Erin.
- Jessie
#15,@Peepa, sorry if I offended you or other Andy/Erin fans. It's just that in 'Koi Pond' when Pam put in a good word for Andy with Erin, and Erin said she thought that he was the "coolest person in the world", I was really surprised because up until then all their interactions had been really awkward, with Andy trying to impress Erin and Erin seeming oblivious to that fact, like when she refused to sit in the front seat with him in 'Niagara' Part 1. I just didn't know where her liking him came out of, I didn't see that coming. I would have liked more time for the friendship to grow, and to see why Erin developed feelings for Andy. I felt that she didn't really know him that well, when she suddenly liked him. That's what I meant by them not having been given time.
- Peepa
@17; Oh no, you didn't offend me at all! Sorry if I came off that way, just wanted to express my opinion. And you do have an interesting point. I think Erin developed a liking to him after all his awkward efforts to impress her such as the whole 'Country Roads' incident and his frantic efforts in setting up a party/get-together in 'Niagara' just to have her, specifically, attend. (of course we all know how that turned out… yeeowch.)
But I get where you're coming from, they didn't exactly have the same 'best-friend' bond developed first like Jim and Pam, and it definitely would have been better if they did. I think it was their short-lived relationship and the whole Gabe fiasco that made the two closer though.
- Purse Girl
I love it! I wish it was included in the show! I like the banter. I don't know about anyone else, but I always thought that Andy was a bit too old for Erin. It seems like Pete is perfect for her. Please don't hate me! :)
- Erin
I have always loved Andy and Erin's relationship so I'm not too happy with this new Pete and Erin development. Hopefully the show won't break Andy and Erin up, especially after there was four years of build-up to their relationship.
I don't understand people who think Andy is too old for Erin. He is only 6 years older than her. Ed Helms is 38 and Ellie Kemper is 32. Jake Lacy who plays Pete is 26 so he is 6 years younger than Ellie. His character seems about that age too so really there is the same age difference between both pairings. Also Andy and Erin's mental ages seem closer than Pete and Erin's. Pete seems too smart, mature, and normal for Erin. In contrast, Andy isn't the smartest person in the office, he is quirky, and he is a child at heart. These are all characteristics that he and Erin share among others.

Update, Friday 2:30 p.m.: The BART chapter of SEIU Local 1021 and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 issued a joint statement on the BART board's Thursday contract vote. They say they're very unhappy with the board's attempt to remove a new provision for paid family leave from the contract. But they stop short of threatening a new strike.
Here's the statement:
"We consider the Board's actions to be unprecedented and illegitimate, and we're considering our next steps, including possible legal action.
The BART Board of Directors has disregarded the vote of more than two thousand BART workers and has chosen to subvert the collective bargaining process, and we take their actions seriously."
Update: Controversial former chief BART negotiator Thomas Hock has broken his silence about the disputed family medical leave provision in the contract between BART management and its two main unions.
"When I presented the last, best and final offer dated Oct. 13, 2013, and presented to the unions on Oct. 17, 2013, TA 4.8 which dealt with the Family Medical Leave Act was not included in that last, best and final offer," Hock said in a statement released today by a spokeswoman for his company, Veolia Transportation.
Hock said he was absent from the negotiating table the long weekend of Oct. 19-21 when the disputed clause reappeared.
Hock is a central figure in this new crisis. From the Contra Costa Times:
His comments come amid growing dissent from his former bosses, the BART directors, who agreed to pay him $399,000 to lead the six months of acrimonious negotiations. In fact, the board last week directed BART General Manager Grace Crunican to investigate whether the agency had grounds to file insurance claims or take legal action in the matter, Director Joel Keller said Thursday.
Hock, Assistant General Manager Paul Oversier and Labor Relations Manager Rudolph Medina signed the family medical leave provision in July. The clause was included in the final labor package ratified Nov. 1 by members of BART's two largest unions. BART has called the inclusion of the language a "clerical mistake."
Union leaders said the disputed provision was "not a glitch," but an agreement between both sides, and blamed Hock's "minimalist" approach to negotiations as a contributing factor to any confusion.
Hock also came under fire during the negotiations. He was criticized for going to Disneyland to speak at a transit conference on Oct. 15. He was also criticized for taking vacation days during the negotiations, and for a history of labor complaints filed against him and his company.
What options do unions now have, besides walking off the job for a third time? KQED's Mina Kim talks with John Logan, associate professor of labor and employment studies at San Francisco State University.
Original post:
It's the labor negotiation that just won't die.
The BART board today voted 8-1 in favor of ratifying the negotiated contract with its two biggest unions, but without a disputed family leave provision.
So what's that mean, exactly? Matthias Gafni of the Bay Area News Group breaks down today's development into this Tweet:
Essentially, @SFBART board giving GM power to return to unions and say we'll ratify contract just w/out family medical leave (1/2)
Now it's up to the unions to respond. The upshot of a statement from Pete Castelli, executive Director of SEIU 1021, following the vote: "We're considering all our options."
The sticking point here is the inclusion in the contract of a family medical leave provision, which BART says was left in by accident.
The Chronicle's Joe Garofoli explains what that particular language allows:
Up to now, BART workers have been allowed to take up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave to deal with serious personal or family medical problems or to bond with a newborn or newly adopted child, but they had to use sick leave, vacation days or other accrued time off. But under the disputed contract provision … BART would now pay for the first six weeks of that leave.
BART says it repeatedly rejected the disputed provision during the negotiations, and that if it remains it will end up costing $44 million over four years, assuming one-third of workers take six weeks of leave each year. The unions say that figure is vastly overinflated, because not that many workers avail themselves of the leave in a given year. They say the financial hit to BART costs out to more like $1.4 million.
Then there's this:
"A deal is a deal," ATU Local 1555 President Antonette Bryant said Tuesday.
Earlier, in less aphoristic terms, Bryant said, "For them to (propose reopening the contract) is totally, totally disgusting."
The tone was softer last night, when the unions issued this statement:
It is our expectation that the Board of Directors will honor the agreement that their chief negotiator, assistant manager and labor relations manager made with the unions. We expect the board to meet their responsibility to the workers and to the riders and approve this contract.
In the context of the board approving the contract, we are willing, through the mediator, to meet and discuss the implementation of the family medical leave provision, including its cost.
The Contra Costa Times added today that "public agencies hardly ever vote down contracts after union members have ratified them."
AP contributed to this report.

FY14 Omnibus and the 150 Account: The Good, the Bad, and the Just Plain Embarrassing
This is a joint post with Erin Collinson.
This is a joint post with Erin Collinson.
What do the US Congress, the US Senate and the White House have in common? (This isn't a trick question). Both the House and the Senate matched the President's FY14 request for global AIDS spending, including $4.02 billion for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and $1.65 for the Global Fund – marking a rare sweet spot where the executive and legislative branches agree.
Picture this. A guy falls off the deck of a cruise ship. The captain throws him a life saver but can't stop the boat. Everyone on the deck is yelling at him to do this and do that. The poor guys swims for his life just to grab onto the life saver. And there he floats waiting to see if the captain will ever reel him him. That poor guy is the MCC in the FY09 State and Foreign Operations section of the Omnibus Appropriations Bill (page 49).

This is what happens when you turn up in the first half, too. Arsenal still fell behind but only for four minutes, and once on terms the inhibitions that had gripped them against elite opposition suddenly melted away.
West Ham are no Chelsea or Manchester City. They are no mugs either. Sam Allardyce lines them up in a formation designed not to buckle. They had enough about them to take the lead here and when Jack Collison volleyed home from a corner after 18 minutes, Arsenal were a balloon deflating rapidly.
What this means in the greater scheme of things has yet to be revealed. Spurs and Everton will not be discomfited by one show of strength on a night skewed by brilliance that comes only fleetingly. Wenger's call for greater belief was always an abstract plea in the absence of a run of victories to hang it on.
Though they enjoyed the greater possession, there was too little conviction underpinning it and when Collison smashed West Ham ahead a sense of doom settled on the Emirates. It took a stirring piece of derring-do to rouse them, Lukas Podolski detonating that left foot of his from 20 yards.
It was an instinctive response to a looming crisis. Arsenal were in a frantic rush but nothing looked on when he received the ball via an exchange of passes between Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla. The West Ham defence stepped off and the space opened invitingly for Podolski to let fly at pace. Once level, the missing swagger returned, and suddenly West Ham were stretched.
The urgent prompting of Wilshere is a recurring source of hope for Arsenal, even in these days of hardship and grind. West Ham were brilliantly drilled into a defensive wall with only Carlton Cole up front. This squeezed the room in which to operate but Wilshere never stopped darting this way and that, trying to insinuate his way through the Hammers' bricks and mortar.
A crunching tackle by Collison early in the piece left Wilshere in a heap. Each time a challenge of that magnitude clatters into his diminutive limbs the Emirates draws collective breath. The trainer raced on and this time there was no harm done. If there is to be a meaningful attack on fourth place it is hard to imagine it happening without Wilshere.
The second half was barely two minutes old when Arsenal swept ahead via the nimble left foot of Olivier Giroud. The Frenchman had been a lightweight presence throughout the first half but was quickly on to Theo Walcott's corner, to poke Arsenal into a position of strength.
Walcott might have made it three five minutes later only to see Winston Reid hook his shot off the line. The sleuce was about to open, however, with Podolski opening the gates on each occasion .
Cazorla finished off a fine exchange of passes with his heel after Podolski played him in. Next on Podolski's list was Walcott who, arriving at speed at the far post, drilled his shot past Jussi Jaaskelainen. Podolski completed his hat-trick of assists by feeding Giroud, who scrambled the ball past a goalkeeper utterly befuddled.
West Ham were in pieces. The night that started so brightly was beyond repair, torn from their grasp in a 10-minute hailstorm that rivalled anything nature has thrown at these isles in the past week. Allardyce, who had engaged in heated exchanges with Cole and Vaz Te during a first half when his team still had hope, looked on helplessly. When you set up your team not to lose, only emptiness is left when the goals start flying in.
Wenger's demeanor changed dramatically. His long frame seemed to acquire extra inches as the match went on. He had been promising this kind of response but you wondered just how much of his own rhetoric he believed. As the goals went in his team flowered in the manner of old. The thought occured that Thierry Henry had resumed on the left. It was in fact Podolski whose 11th goal of the season lifted Arsenal out of their distress.
He later made way to resounding applause having played his best game for Arsenal. There was nothing left for him to do but rest for the weekends trip to Brighton in the FA Cup. The game was running its course when a clash of heads sent West Ham sub Daniel Potts crashing to the turf. The game was held up for ten minutes as medics attended to the stricken player.
He had barely been on the pitch five minutes and his absence on a stretcher forced the Hammers to close out the night with ten men. The game had reached a definitive conclusion long before then. A week from now Liverpool are the visitors ata the Emirates. The confidence gained here will be tested against a team that has kept possession more than any other in the division.
For West Ham the imperative remains the same. Defeats like this are tolerable if the home form is sustained. This was their first goal on the road since November across North London at Spurs. It was not in this class, but with a record as poor as that, results like this come as no surprise. Wenger knows this is only the start if fourth is to be attained.

- The butterfly genus Cycnus is now synonymized with Panthiades.
In Greek mythology, multiple characters were known as Cycnus (Κύκνος) or Cygnus. The literal meaning of the name is "swan", and accordingly most of them ended up being transformed into swans.
Son of Ares[edit]
Cycnus, son of Ares by Pelopia or Pyrene, was a bloodthirsty and cruel man who dwelt either in Pagasae, Thessaly or by the river Echedorus in Macedonia, and killed all of his guests until he was slain by Heracles. According to Pausanias, one of the men murdered by him was Lycus of Thrace.[2]
Pseudo-Apollodorus[3] wrote of Cycnus the Thessalian, the son of Pelopia, and Cycnus the Macedonian, the son of Pyrene, as two distinct encounters of Heracles, mentioning them separately. The Thessalian Cycnus, he relates, challenged Heracles to single combat and was killed by him;[4] the same is recounted by Diodorus.[5] The Macedonian Cycnus, according to the Bibliotheca, also challenged Heracles to single combat; Ares attempted to avenge his son's death, but a thunderbolt was hurled by Zeus between the combatants, causing them to part.[6]
In the poem Shield of Heracles, Heracles and Iolaus encountered Cycnus and Ares on the way to Trachis, each pair riding a chariot; it is mentioned that Heracles was directing to the court of King Ceyx, to whose daughter Themistonoe Cycnus was married. Apollo, whose Pagasaean sanctuary was next to the place where the characters meet, is said to have stirred Heracles up against Cycnus. Athena appeared, telling Heracles that Zeus too had empowered him to defeat Cycnus, and instructed him not to touch his body or take his armor as spoils, but to hit Ares with a spear in an unprotected part of body if he should attack Heracles to avenge Сycnus's death. Heracles and Сycnus then clashed in single combat and Heracles hit Сycnus in the neck with a spear, killing him. Ares was just about to strike a hit at Heracles when Athena blocked his hit, saying that it was not ordained that he should kill the hero. Heracles took this opportunity to wound Ares in the thigh and beat him to the ground, which caused his sons Phobos and Deimos to rescue him and take him back to Mount Olympus. Сycnus was buried by his father-in-law Сeyx and people of the neighboring cities, but his tomb was destroyed during a flood by the will of Apollo.[7]
According to Euripides, Heracles shot Cycnus with his arrows, and this took place in Amphanae near the river Anaurus.[8]
Eustathius of Thessalonica informs that Ares changed Cycnus into a swan rather than let him die by the hand of Heracles.[9]
King of Kolonai[edit]
As king of the town of Kolonai in the southern Troad,[10] Cycnus was the son of Poseidon by Calyce (daughter of Hecaton), Harpale, or by Scamandrodice.[11] According to John Tzetzes, his mother Scamandrodice abandoned him on the seashore, but he was rescued by fishermen who named him Cycnus "swan" because they saw a swan flying over him.[12] In another account, he was said to have had womanly white skin and fair hair, which was why he received his name that meant "swan".[13]
Cycnus married first Procleia, daughter of Laomedon (King of Troy) or of Laomedon's son Clytius. Cycnus and Procleia had two children, named Tenes and Hemithea, although Tenes claimed the god Apollo as his father. On Procleia's death, Cycnus married Philonome, daughter of Tragasus (Cragasus), also known as Polyboea[14] or Scamandria.[15] Philonome fell in love with her handsome stepson, Tenes. Tenes rejected Philonome's advances, whereupon Philonome falsely accused Tenes before her husband of having ravished her. Cycnus ordered to place both his children in a chest and throw it into the sea. However, Cycnus discovered the truth and had Philonome buried alive. When he found that his children had survived and were reigning at Tenedos, he sailed there intending to reconcile with them, but Tenes cut the anchor rope of his ship.[16][17][18][19][20]
Dictys Cretensis mentions three more children of Cycnus: two sons, Cobis and Corianus, and a daughter Glauce.[21]
Cycnus later supported the Trojans in the Trojan War, and fought valiantly, killing one thousand opponents according to Ovid. According to some accounts he killed the Greek hero Protesilaus,[22] but according to others, Cycnus attacked the Greek camp when the funeral of Protesilaus was underway.[23] It was said that Cycnus, being the son of Poseidon, was invulnerable to spear and sword attack. When Achilles confronted Cycnus he could not kill him via conventional weaponry so he crushed and suffocated him. After his death, Cycnus was changed into a swan.[24] Later, the Greek army invaded Cycnus's kingdom, but the people of Colonae implored them to spare the city. The Greek leaders agreed, on condition that Cobis, Corianus and Glauce be handed over to them, and made a truce with the citizens.[21]
Friend of Phaethon[edit]
Cycnus, king of Liguria, was the son of Sthenelus and a good friend or lover of Phaethon; according to Ovid, he was a distant relative of Phaethon on his mother's side. After Phaethon died, he sat by the river Eridanos mourning his death. The gods turned him into a swan to relieve him of his pity. Even then he retained memories of Phaethon's death, and would avoid the sun's heat because of that.[25] According to Virgil, Cycnus lamented Phaethon's death till he grew old, so his gray hair became gray feathers upon his transformation.[26] Pausanias mentions Cycnus, king of the Ligyes (Ligurians), as a renowned musician who after his death was changed into a swan by Apollo.[27] Servius also writes of Cycnus as a musician and a lover of Phaethon, and states that he was changed into a swan and later was placed among the stars by Apollo (that is, as the constellation Cygnus).[28] Cycnus's talent of a musician motivates his association with the concept of the swan song suggested in Hyginus's account.[29]
Servius also mentions that Сycnus had a son named Cupavo.[28]
Son of Apollo[edit]
Yet another Cycnus was a son of Apollo by Hyrie or Thyrie, daughter of Amphinomus; the story concerning him is recorded by Antoninus Liberalis. According to said author, he dwelt in the country between Pleuron and Calydon and dedicated most of his time to hunting. He was good-looking but arrogant and disrespectful towards numerous other youths who became enamoured of him and sought his attention. His attitude eventually made all of those youths desert him; only one of them, Phylius by name, loved him deeply enough to stay by his side nevertheless. Cycnus was still unmoved by Phylius's devotion and challenged him to three impossible tasks, hoping to get rid of him. The first task was to kill a lion that was threatening the neighborhood without use of any weapons. Phylius consumed a lot of food and wine and then vomited it back up on the spot where the lion would usually show up; the beast ate the products and became intoxicated with wine, whereupon Phylius strangled it with his own clothes. The second task was to catch two man-eating vultures of enormous size that were posing an equal threat to the neighborhood, again without use of any devices. While Phylius was contemplating a way to fulfill the task, he saw an eagle accidentally drop its prey, a dead hare, to the ground. Phylius then smeared himself with the hare's blood and lay still on the ground, pretending to be dead. When the vultures attacked him, he caught them by the feet and brought them to Cycnus.
Finally, Phylius had to bring a bull to the altar of Zeus with his own bare hands. Not being able to come up with a way to perform this last task, he prayed to Heracles for help. Then he saw two bulls fighting over a heifer and waited till in the course of the fight both fell to the ground and became helpless, which made it possible for him to grab one of the bulls by the legs and drag it to the altar. At this point, Heracles caused Phylius to no more obey the orders of Cycnus. When Cycnus found that, he felt disgraced and committed suicide by throwing himself into a lake called Conope; his mother Thyrie did the same. Apollo changed them both into swans. The lake became known as the Swan Lake because of that, and when Phylius died, he was buried near it.[30]
Ovid also incorporates the story of Cycnus and Phylius in his Metamorphoses: in his version, Phylius performs the three tasks but refuses to deliver the tamed bull to Cycnus. The latter is scorned and throws himself off a cliff, but transforms into a swan as he is falling and flies away. His mother Hyrie, unaware of the transformation and thinking that he is dead, dissolves away in tears, thus changing into the lake Hyrie.[31]
Other characters[edit]
The name Cycnus may also refer to:
- Cycnus, one of the suitors of Penelope.[32]
- Cycnus, son of King Eredion of Achaea, who, in one version, seduced Leda and made her mother of triplets: the Dioscuri and Helen.[33] In all other sources, she had these children by Zeus who approached her in the shape of a swan (kyknos).
- Cycnus, a blunder for Guneus in the manuscript of Hyginus' Fab. 97 (list of the Achaean leaders against Troy).
According to Pseudo-Eratosthenes and Hyginus' Poetical Astronomy, the constellation Cygnus was the stellar image of the swan Zeus had transformed into in order to seduce Leda[34] or Nemesis.[35]
