The Making of Music (Part 3)
Two buildings opened within five years of each other are a useful pivot for the story of music in the 19th century. The Royal Albert Hall was finished in 1871, and in 1876 Richard Wagner conducted the first opera in his new theatre at Bayreuth, which was less a place of entertainment than a temple to his art.
In London, the two decades from 1851's Great Exhibition were a time of growing national prosperity. Crystal Palace Saturday concerts were crowd-pullers, orchestras and choirs were proliferating and the great Romantic symphonies were being enjoyed by a new and bigger audience. Classical music was booming.
At the same time, Wagner was fomenting a revolution that left its mark on every composer who followed him. The four operas of The Ring, performed in sequence
for the first time at Bayreuth, had been started decades earlier but this was the moment when his challenge to established taste was heard in its full glory. Brahms and others raged against 'the so-called music of the future' but this new romanticism couldn't be stopped.
It shaped the symphonies of Bruckner and Mahler, the radicalism of Schoenberg (who spent his youth watching Wagner's operas again and again), the orchestral genius of Richard Strauss, whose father was a horn player at Bayreuth. It was as if the chord that opens Tristan & Isolde, not resolved until the end of the opera, was the signal for a great turning point in musical history.
Brahms and Wagner illustrate the change. Schumann said Brahms was the complete musician from the very beginning, as if he had sprung 'fully armed like Athena from the head of Zeus' and his craft speaks of the Romantic tradition that was giving music a majestic and popular voice. Wagner strove to break away, to use orchestral power and the legacy of Beethoven and his successors to produce something new – in particular the Gesamtkunstwerk, the total work of art. The argument about what music was for meant that nothing could be the same again.
The Making of Music was broadcast on Radio 4 and is now available as a BBC Audiobook

Watching the Eclipse in Xinjiang, China
Watching a Solar Eclipse in Xinjiang, China
By Ed Burleigh
The yurt door opened and the sunlight came crashing in bringing the lively patterns on the wall to life. I was confused. My eyes gradually focused on the lattice framework above and my fragile head reminded me of the Kazak rice wine from the night before. I soon realised where I was. Dilshat had entered clutching two mugs.
"Good morning," he said enthusiastically. "Coffee?"
Away from the madding crowd
I was in Xinjiang in northwest China, an autonomous region made up of a diverse range of cultures including: Uyghur, Han, Kazak, Hui, Mongol and Russian among others.
I had come to experience a total solar eclipse that would start in Canada before casting its umbral shadow across Greenland, Russia and Mongolia and eventually fade away in Xinjiang just before sunset.
The capital city, Urumqi, was buzzing with the usual array of excited astronomers, dedicated eclipse-hunters and curious tourists.
While thousands of people then flocked to Hami to a purpose-built viewing area, my friend Alex had organised a horse-trek in the Koktokay National Park. Our guide, Dilshat, was a young Uyghur man who, as well as five other languages used in the region, spoke excellent English.
Everything started badly. At the entrance to the national park Chinese officials told us that foreigners were not permitted to enter.
A Chinese tourist had recently been stabbed and killed by a Kazak man for insulting the Kazak culture and spitting at him. In spite of this, Chinese tourists were still allowed into the park but foreigners were not.
We were told that there was no way to enter but that it should be fine the next day.
Anyone who has ever tried to argue with Chinese bureaucracy will know it is a pointless endeavour and so, after a few frustrating hours, we gave up. Our original plan had been to trek for two days to a camp just inside the Mongolian border but this would no longer be possible as we had now lost a whole day.
The Drinking Yurt
Dilshat took us to a Kazak village made up of one long, brick building and several Mongol-style yurts.
He spoke to the owner of what appeared to be a drinking yurt who promptly booted out the locals to make room for us. Embarrassed, we sat down for a few beers.
Despite their eviction, the locals were in high spirits and a handful of them soon came tumbling back in to meet us.
One red-faced man produced a bottle of the lethal Kazak rice wine and several toasts were proposed until the owner again ejected them. Just outside they treated us to an impressive, albeit slightly drunken, display of dancing to questionable Kazak pop music before dispersing.
The revellers were soon replaced by a couple of wide-eyed children who lay on the felt rug giggling at us. These two were also shooed away by the owner and I was soon wrapped up sound asleep in the yurt.
Saddle Up
Mercifully there was no trouble from the officials back at the national park the next day and I was soon bouncing along in an electric tourist coach to a bridge over the Irtish River, our starting point.
A brisk dip in the river put paid to any remnants of a hangover and then the three of us set off on horseback.
The passage through the mountains was tricky and the pace was slow. Every so often a Kazak rider would overtake, effortlessly negotiating the boulders scattered ahead.
I disliked riding in this terrain (especially when my horse slipped onto its knee) and was relieved when we eventually stopped to make camp in a clearing on the flat part of a hill.
The horses were left to roam, Dilshat assembled the tents, Alex set up his camera and tripod and I went to gather firewood and explore the area: a little stream nearby, pine trees and black mountains that stretched into the distance.
Black Hole Sun
We thought we had arrived just in time for the start of the eclipse but nothing was happening: "Have we got the wrong day?" No, we had got the wrong time. There are two different times in this part of China: Beijing and Xinjiang time.
The Chinese government insists that the whole country operates on the same time but this means that it doesn't get dark in Xinjiang until 10 pm. While Beijing time is generally used for commerce, the locals prefer to run on Xinjiang time, two hours behind.
Two hours later we looked up as the faintest slither of black appeared and we settled down to watch as the moon crept across the sun; not long now until totality.
The sun was going down inexorably fast and threatening to disappear behind a mountain. This scenario had not occurred to me and I started to worry about having come all this way only to miss the main event.
As the sun sank lower and the time-to-eclipse grew nearer I realised that we would lose this race.
A few minutes before totality we panicked and scrambled up a hill just in time to set up the camera again.
The last moments before an eclipse are peculiar. The light dims to an eerie hue and tiny crescents are projected through the trees on to the ground in a pin-hole camera effect.
Suddenly, the shadow rushed across the mountain plunging us into darkness and there it was: total eclipse. Nature does not anticipate this extraordinary phenomenon and, as is usual, the birds went silent and the nocturnal insects came out.
Strange things also happen to humans and I have a blurred memory of jumping around, shouting and, for some reason, singing. Two minutes later it was finished, leaving me with a mix of euphoria at having seen it and deflation that it was over. As the last shred of moon disappeared, an astonishingly rich, yellow tinge of light clung to the air for a few minutes.
One of my most vivid memories of the experience is of Dilshat's reaction during totality. Having never seen an eclipse before, he had been fairly indifferent and wondered why we had come all this way to see it; even during the build up he was still not that interested.
When the sun was finally blotted out, however, he was awe-struck and sat there filming and chattering to his camera excitedly in Uyghur. Afterwards he said that it was one of the most incredible things he had ever seen.
Back at our camp, Alex showed me his remarkable pictures of the eclipse nestled on the tree-topped fringe of the mountain – that is how close we came to missing it! He had also captured the diamond ring effect brilliantly and pointed out the little red speck of a solar flare poking out of the side.
Soon after the eclipse the sun disappeared again, this time for the night. Dilshat had set up three tents but the epic sky above was too good a show to miss. As the fire faded, we crawled into our sleeping bags and gazed upwards: satellites flickered, shooting stars fizzed and the international space station ambled across my view before I was eventually hypnotised to sleep.
Garlic and Hot-springs are Good for the Health
I was not looking forward to getting back on the horse the next day but discovered that it was a lot easier to let the horse find its own way instead of constantly yanking the reins in my chosen direction; they know this route a lot better than I.
After a few perilous moments involving saddles (and riders) slipping off, I was happy to stop at a Kazak village for some lunch.
Over a greasy but delicious meal of mutton and thick noodles accompanied by fat cloves of raw garlic and sun dried chilli relish, we chatted to the locals about the eclipse. They told me that while most of them had known what was happening, an old woman in the village had never seen one before and, thinking that the world was ending, started crying and praying to Allah.
After lunch, the owner of the restaurant insisted that Alex and I had a soak in his hot spring.
The spring was supposedly therapeutic and many people traveled to this remote area to use it; he pointed to some pictures on the wall and said that they had been gratefully donated by a wealthy Chinese man who had been back many times.
We paid for the privilege and were soon in an oversized bath with tepid water at the back of a grubby shed – not quite the miraculous oasis I was expecting.
Refreshed nonetheless, I rode for a few more saddle-sore hours while my stomach argued with me about the demerits of eating raw garlic.
Back at the bridge, I finally dismounted and was soon rattling back to the car park in another tourist cart to meet our driver for the long journey back to Urumqi.
Driving back, our protagonist the sun had one last part to play in our story: setting spectacularly over the desert before vanishing below the horizon to re-emerge in another part of the world and brighten up someone else's day.
On 22nd July, 2009, another eclipse was visible from China. At 6 minutes 39 seconds it was the longest solar eclipse of the 21st century!
Our tour to the Koktokay national park was organized through Country Tours in Hong Kong.
Getting there
By air: A number of Chinese airlines (including China Southern) and a few central Asian airlines fly into Urumqi International Airport.
By rail: There is a service operating between Beijing and Almaty (Kazakhstan) that stops in Urumqi; there is also a line from Kashgar.
Where to stay
There are a handful of smart hotels including the charmless Kunlun Hotel with its communist decor and the pleasant Junbang Tianshan Hotel in the Uyghur district.
There are also a number of hostels:
Xinjiang is famous for its food and the cultural diversity there means you can find various types. Definitely try some Uyghur food (mutton kebabs, naan bread, fat noodles) which is available from street stalls and restaurants. For western food, go to Fubar (see below).
Expect usual Chinese restrictions.
Getting around
It is easy to get around the city center on foot but taxis are fairly inexpensive.
Things to do:
Walk around the Uyghur district taking in Mosque architecture, bazaars, food, etc. Also visit the Xinjiang Regional Museum. Excursions include the Heavenly Lake and the Tianshan Mountains.
Going out
Nightlife is fairly limited in Urumqi. One of the best things is to just amble down the bustling Jie Fang Road.
The western-owned Fubar is a good place to check out, not least for its home comforts including imported beer, western food (boasting the best pizza in Urumqi), and pool table, but also because the staff are keen to help with what to do in Urumqi and further afield.
Hidden Gem
The Niya bar on the third floor of the Tunhe Ramada Hotel. On the pricier side, but the house band plays excellent Uyghur music.
Further links
The author would like to like to extend his sincere condolences to those affected by the recent tragedy in Urumqi.

My favorite part of the story is when the Phantom Stallion promises to return, because it is cool. My least favorite character in the book is Linc Slocum. He is mean and tries to capture the Phantom Stallion. This book is a lot like my life because Sam (a girl) loves animals more than anything, and so do I.
There are no pictures in this book, but the words tell a great story. I think others should read this book because it is such a good book. However, it might be difficult if you are not old enough.

Solidarity against online harassment
One of our colleagues has been the target of a sustained campaign of harassment for the past several months. We have decided to publish this statement to publicly declare our support for her, for every member of our organization, and for every member of our community who experiences this harassment. She is not alone and her experience has catalyzed us to action. This statement is a start.
The Tor Project works to create ways to bypass censorship and ensure anonymity on the Internet. Our software is used by journalists, human rights defenders, members of law enforcement, diplomatic officials, and many others. We do high-profile work, and over the past years, many of us have been the targets of online harassment. The current incidents come at a time when suspicion, slander, and threats are endemic to the online world. They create an environment where the malicious feel safe and the misguided feel justified in striking out online with a thousand blows. Under such attacks, many people have suffered — especially women who speak up online. Women who work on Tor are targeted, degraded, minimized and endure serious, frightening threats.
This is the status quo for a large part of the internet. We will not accept it.
We work on anonymity technology because we believe in empowering people. This empowerment is the beginning and a means, not the end of the discussion. Each person who has power to speak freely on the net also has the power to hurt and harm. Merely because one is free to say a thing does not mean that it should be tolerated or considered reasonable. Our commitment to building and promoting strong anonymity technology is absolute. We have decided that it is not enough for us to work to protect the world from snoops and censors; we must also stand up to protect one another from harassment.
It's true that we ourselves are far from perfect. Some of us have written thoughtless things about members of our own community, have judged prematurely, or conflated an idea we hated with the person holding it. Therefore, in categorically condemning the urge to harass, we mean categorically: we will neither tolerate it in others, nor will we accept it among ourselves. We are dedicated to both protecting our employees and colleagues from violence, and trying to foster more positive and mindful behavior online ourselves.
Further, we will no longer hold back out of fear or uncertainty from an opportunity to defend a member of our community online. We write tools to provide online freedom but we don't endorse online or offline abuse. Similarly, in the offline world, we support freedom of speech but we oppose the abuse and harassment of women and others. We know that online harassment is one small piece of the larger struggle that women, people of color, and others face against sexism, racism, homophobia and other bigotry.
This declaration is not the last word, but a beginning: We will not tolerate harassment of our people. We are working within our community to devise ways to concretely support people who suffer from online harassment; this statement is part of that discussion. We hope it will contribute to the larger public conversation about online harassment and we encourage other organizations to sign on to it or write one of their own.
For questions about Tor, its work, its staff, its funding, or its world view, we encourage people to directly contact us (Media contact: Kate Krauss, press @ torproject.org). We also encourage people join our community and to be a part of our discussions:

It must be sooo
It must be sooo intellectually convenient to read such an article and dismiss it as "yet another feminist rant". No need to work your brain, connect information with each other. Comfy like watching TV:
Did you hear about the spanish gvt trying to prohibit abortion? Do you know why it failed? Social strugle. A feminist fight was led an won.
You have got absolutely no clue what you talk about and wave your prejudices as if you had the theory of relativity in your hands.
I think dee. makes it easy to understand :
"feminism is not one monolithic entity or ideology." Just that could send to oblivion your argument... And it isn't even that hard to understand.
Anyways according to her
"The feminist movement started in the 1920s with the right for women to vote. It got its second wing in the 60s with sexual revolution, and now we're already in the third iteration which actually discredits a lot of the dogma in the first two versions of the movement (like the whole anti-male/female superiority thing and the new-age-bullshit connections). If you think feminism is all about "anti-male propaganda" then you're about 30 years late from the latest developments..."
"Did you hear about the
"Did you hear about the spanish gvt trying to prohibit abortion? Do you know why it failed? Social strugle [sic]. A feminist fight was led an [sic] won."
Ah, yes, of course.
Because, as we all know, if you don't accept an absolute right to rip-out nascent life in the womb, you have to be an evil, anachronistic "misogynist" who is waging "war on women". It's so simple and obvious, isn't it?
Never mind all of the women who oppose abortion. They're all "self-hating" or "unrealized", or they have "internalized centuries of oppressive patriarchy and misogyny", etc. Right?
And you accuse others of being reflexive, simplistic and blinded by "prejudices"?
Meanwhile, what about the increased pressure faced by women and girls, from younger ages than ever, to perform and submit-to acts that are instinctively repulsive to them? (Of course, I speak primarily of anal penetration and fellatio-- acts that also, it must be noted, carry considerable and, in the case of anal penetration, extremely high risk of serious, potentially lethal infection.) Pressure from males who have been incited by a virtually limitless barrage of all manner of pornography and smut; content that goes well-beyond merely objectifying women to subjugating, degrading and humiliating them, often in appallingly brutal ways and even glorifying violence and sadism. Exposure to such corrosive content begins earlier-than-ever and continues throughout the most impressionable and formative years of sexual discovery and development, inevitably exerting a heavy and lasting influence. (The Playboy that thirty-years-ago a thirteen-year-old might only dream of getting his hands-on, looks downright wholesome in comparison to that which, today, a nine-year-old can access with ease.) This is the inexorable reality that the digital age has brought.
What about the ubiquity of advertisements that objectify women as mere sex-objects? On billboards. On buses, subways and taxis. In even the most respected and mainstream web sites and newspapers, magazines and web sites.
How much has been said against of these real threats to and attacks upon women and girls from any of these abortion-mongering, self-declared champions of women?
I disagree. There are some
I disagree. There are some idiots in feminism, as there are idiots everywhere, but you cannot judge a movement by its idiots. I think that feminism is still a very important thing and has nowhere near achieved the goal of equality, even in the western countries.
So, yes, there may be some women (or men) in feminism who may be assholes. But I count myself a feminist, based on the definition of "someone who thinks that women should be treated equally, just like everyone else should be treated equally, regardless of cultural background, skin color, sexual orientation, economic background, country of origin, and so on". And, last time I checked, I did not do any hate-mongering or call for censorship.
I am guilty of judging movements by its idiots as well. The idiots have, in the public eye, taken over gamergate, so now I hate gamergate with a passion, even though there may be some good points somewhere in between all the hate on women and their supporters. I just can't find them. Probably because the only time I checked was on twitter, and that is never a good idea.
So, please, try to stop saying that "feminism is [...] synonymous with misandry and [...] hate-mongering", and I will try to stop saying that gamergate consists only of women-hating idiots (because for all I know, there are sensible people somewhere in there). That way, we can both break out of our respective stigmata. Do we have a deal?
Not the person you're
Not the person you're replying to but surely one should lead by example.
If, as you seem to be implying, you are currently saying that these gamergate people are woman-hating idiots because some seem to have issues with feminism why should you expect anyone to listen to you? Be the person you want to see in others.
Best wishes.
Well, that is why I wrote
Well, that is why I wrote the comment the way I wrote it. I explicitly said that I noticed this about myself, and tried to change the way I am thinking. It is not easy to do so, because you always notice the most outspoken idividuals, which, in the case of gamergate, happen to be the idiots who threaten women with murder and rape for daring to express their opinions (which I would not call "having issues with feminism").
So yes, I may not have the moral high ground, and I never claimed to have it. I said "hey, I can see how you arrived at your conclusion that feminism has become a negative force instead of a positive one (I have seen some idiots among feminists as well), but I think that you are missing the point of feminism". So, I actually was being the person I wanted to see in others: Reflective of my own prejudices and trying to overcome them.
Granted, not having these prejudices is definitely better than having them and being aware of them, but if one spends any time on twitter, it is hard not to develop prejudices one way or another, especially on controversial topics like gamergate and feminism, where the most vocal idiots are often the ones you will see the most (and don't get me started on YouTube comments).
May be you are forgetting
May be you are forgetting the fact that Western countries are not the only countries in the world. There are many countries where female children are killed as soon as they are born (or before they are born) because parents consider them as just burdens, because women don't have equal rights. Internet is not just for some specific countries. Even if you don't think you need feminism, a surprisingly large part of the world still do and please try to educate yourself about that before saying things against feminism.
+1 "Women who work on Tor
"Women who work on Tor are targeted, degraded, minimized and endure serious, frightening threats. [....] We know that online harassment is one small piece of the larger struggle that women, people of color, and others face against sexism, racism, homophobia and other bigotry"
=> As a white male, I face bigotry from such a post. I never knew the Tor blog was a hub for misandry. Seriously, why tag this "feminism", and why so much emphasis on harassed women as opposed to harassed men? Why not just "harassed people" all along, with no specifics? Unless by some mysterious ways only women are victims of harassment here?

Having edited the Wikipedia
Having edited the Wikipedia articles on the targets of GamerGate (and the GamerGate article itself), the Tor Project's engagement in this vital issue is greatly appreciated.
That wiki article is worthy
That wiki article is worthy of Joseph Stalin, but that is beside the point. You might want to look into specific, concerted harassment done against Tor developers by an online publication, which had nothing to do with Gamergate and is what is being referred to in the article "in recent months."
Except they didn't. This is
Except they didn't.
This is about harassment and while I can't say I like how the target in this case handled it, I concur with this press release.
I probably wouldn't have seen this if a friend of mine hadn't told me by the way, because none of the people involved in this situation seem to have involvement with Gamergate beyond reuse of material.
Which in turn also means the feminists targeted here most likely aren't part of the "bad ones" who have been antagonizing and outright harassing people for the past three months or so.
(The Wikipedia article you mention is ridiculous. It's more biased than the one on the SJW wiki, of all things. Anyone looking that up should take a good look at the discussion and edit history, and the edit history of the discussion too.)
Hilariously, the
Hilariously, the KnowYourMeme article about GamerGate is more accurate than Wikipedia.
I wish Tor Project would
I wish Tor Project would publish an open letter to stop accepting DoD funding: I might even sign it.
will you sign the check
will you sign the check replacing all those funds too?
This is an excellent point.
This is an excellent point. I can't replace all the USG funding, but I can certainly help broaden Tor's donation base with a personal donation.
I've been benefiting from Tor for a while -- thanks for letting me read my email behind the Great Firewall! -- but I have never sent Tor money. I'm fixing that right now.
I'd love to have more
I'd love to have more funding that didn't come from the US Government.
This is why we make extra sure to be completely open about what we build -- all the development tickets, code, releases, and so on are done in the open.
You might find the discussions and links at
to be a worthwhile read.
There is nothing wrong with
There is nothing wrong with DoD funding. Money is not suddenly tainted because it passed through the hands of a government organization. Now, if the NSA started funding Tor and everyone was all hush-hush about what specifically the money was going to, *that* would be a time to start worrying. But the fact that the DoD is funding it can be easily explained by the other fact that not all of the American government is trying to "destroy privacy". Certainly some very well funded parts are, but others, like the DoD, want some 3rd world countries to have uncensored access to the internet so they can be exposed to western influences. Not only that, but the DoD (and FBI, etc) regularly *use* Tor to protect themselves, not just to track down Tor users. They have a right to stay safe too, they just have the money to contribute to making that a reality.
If Tor Project stops accepting funding from the DoD, that only makes the NSA-and-friends' jobs easier.
This is just amazing. I am

tears to my eyes (I'm a sap but whatever, I'm sincere).
They do not prioritize
They do not prioritize feminist solidarity. This is about solidarity against online harassment against women *and* all other developers (well, people in general). The blog says women because this incident in question involved a woman, not because they *prioritize* feminism.

Thank you for helping people
Thank you for helping people with controversial opinions to be safe and not silenced. It has personally gave me the ability to live my conscience and for that I am grateful to you all and I am sorry that your developers have been harassed by people for some weird reason.
It seems that as the world
It seems that as the world gets crazier (or more likely its craziness is finally being revealed) I am faced with almost too many choices: what to support, what to protest, what to work for and where to direct my energy and still maintain my humanity and creativity. All I can do is respond in the moment to what is in front of me and distill my focus to some sort of essential core. The reason I signed this petition is that its intent fits into the core of what moves me: human rights, dignity, freedom of expression, privacy, honesty, truth and kindness.

as long as the torprojects commitment to free speech remains sounds, ill stand with them against all forms of malicious harassment.
Thanks for your support!
Thanks for your support! It's unfortunate that many people interpreted this posting as being targeted specifically at minorities, and as such, excludes certain groups. This statement is about standing up for those who are being attacked. There is nothing in this statement that intentionally prioritizes one group over another. We are all in this together.
"We have decided to publish this statement to publicly declare our support for her, for every member of our organization, and for every member of our community who experiences this harassment. She is not alone and her experience has catalyzed us to action. This statement is a start."

As a male nerd I experienced
As a male nerd I experienced much harassment from (of course, mostly WHITE*) females and popular kids at school and have been subject to many frightening threats throughout my teenage years. I recall these females verbally insulting me, stealing and rifling through my personal effects and throwing them around the classrooms, physical attacks against my person (unpleasant poking, prodding, and kicking while i try to learn), reducing me to humiliating tears amongst the large crowds of other pupils. This happen many times, with (old, WHITE*) teachers impassively looking the other way.
(Think of me like Napolean Dynamite, except less funny, more reserved, more bullied, slightly greasy. and having less friends.)
I can now only imagine the horrors that can be perpetuated in this modern interconnected world where these grotesque harrassments can be sent instantly from any place on the earth straight into the victim's Twitter feeds and Facebooks, a cacophony of hateful voices booming across the landscape with no way existing to still their ungodly timbre.
Please I hope you are include the male nerd minority in this campaign. #sociallyretardednerdpower
* it was however 99% white school so this may or may not be statisticall significant
(at this later stage in my life I do sometimes find myself trolling online discussions in an attempt to expell my self hatred to the detriment of others, TOR software being very useful for this, however I like to consider this Just Deserts, karma, those big meanies had it coming, etcetera.)

I was a victim of such harassment, and the best thing to do is to give as much publicity as possible, to it.
While I applaud the idea, I
While I applaud the idea, I can't support this statement. We should be supporting a stand against harassment for EVERYONE, and not just because women are being harassed.
This statement is being used to score political points against a specific group of people that are in fact being slandered and harassed for speaking out against a corrupt media. I hope you will consider rewording the statement to include harassment against everyone and not because it concerns "especially women"
With great power comes great
With great power comes great responsibility. With anonymity, sadly, often we also get people doing and saying things that they'd never do in person. This isn't about feminism. It's not about games. It's not about research funding. It's about behaving like a grown adult. Speaking anonymously is a mechanism to protect yourself against nation-state harassment (or worse). It's not a free ticket to boorish behavior.
If you've got a beef with any of those things or whatever else, write a blog post, under your real name, and argue your case with precision. There are plenty of sites that will host your work for free, and you, too, can engage in the world of scholarly discourse.
I strongly endorse this blog post and hope others do as well.

Gilmat Bedroom, 2017-10-08 03:06:19.Talking about the bedroom furniture will always be interesting topic. The furniture in the bedroom is not only a matter of the choice of bed.

Gilmat Door Design, 2017-10-08 03:13:05.Door Bells can be an alert system that you usually used in your front door. The bells can inform the homeowner of the presence of any guest in front of your house. This alarm usually can be heard from inside the house. The types of the bells would vary in models and system. You could choose the suitable design of the bell that you think it is suitable with your house design. It can be manual or electrical bells that you choose. The size of your house also will be one of things that you should consider when you want to choose the bells.If you want to have classic design of bells, it is good for you to choose manual bells instead of electric bells. The manual system of the bells make it looks classic and old. The sense of classic and old can be added with the design of the bells. Some of the classic bells designs made by copper or brass or other types of metal form into chime shape. The bells will ring when you shake the bells or the holder beside the bells.The range of the classic bell is not too wide but the design is more appealing and attractive. The classic bells also can be a good decoration to make your front door looks beautiful. On the other hand, if you like to give the sense of modern look in the house, you could use electric bells. This bell is more practical and functional rather than the classic one. Besides, the wider the range, the louder it sounds.Electric bell system is simpler in model. The bells usually only consist of power button that have different shapes. This button will be connected with wire to the source of sounds that is located inside the house. The appearance of the electric bell is not as fancy as the classic one but it will be more beneficial to be used in big size of house. So, wherever you are in your house, you will hear the sounds of the bells.The design of the bells varies and has so many designs. You could choose whether manual or electric. You could choose the design of the bells that is suitable with your house and your taste. If you like to have something elegant, you could choose classic manual bells but if you like to have functional bells, you could choose electric Door Bells.
Gilmat Door Design, 2017-10-08 16:33:06.The door sweep is always a helpful addition to help you eliminate the cold drafts you may feel on the floor area around the door. The sweep closes the space at the bottom of your door, keeping the weather elements from entering. With door sweep installation, you don't need to remove the door during the process. The door sweep replacement is easy and affordable to install and available in 2 basic types: vinyl and metal. There are also door sweeps with a retractable spring loaded mechanism to close and open the door, napping the material down when the door is closed and retracting as it is open.Also known as door bottom, the door sweep comes in five types to choose. The L-shaped sweep screws into the door frame and is easy to install. The easiest one to install, though, is the slide-in sweep—all you need is only sliding off the old one and sliding on the new piece. Snap-in door sweep can be installed without having to remove the door and fit even into a kerf cut at the bottom of your door. Staple-on sweep is made especially for wood door and requires you to remove the door from frame when installing.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Six teams of kids ages seven to 13 will be competing for the first-ever PGA Junior League Golf Championship at Cog Hill Golf Country Club outside of Chicago, Sept. 14-16. Teams from Atlanta, Boca Raton, Houston, San Francisco, Western New Jersey and the home city of Chicago will play a series of 9-hole matches to determine the champion.
Coordinated by The PGA of America and LEJ Sports, the PGA Junior League Golf is a new team concept for aspiring young golfers, similar to "Little League Baseball." More than 1,800 children competed on more than 120 teams from 22 markets participating in league play throughout June and early July. Following the regular season, teams competed in City Championships and then Regional Championships. The five Regional champions, plus the team from Chicago, will compete for the championship two weeks prior to the Ryder Cup.
"Just as the world's best players are gathering in Chicago to compete for the Ryder Cup, a great group of junior players of all skill levels will be coming together to crown a champion at the junior level," said PGA of America President Allen Wronowski. "The PGA is dedicated to growing the game and we are proud to implement a team concept for kids just like soccer, baseball and other sports. This type of program goes a long way toward getting more families involved in golf."
The teams will arrive at Cog Hill for a practice round on Friday, Sept. 14. They have been divided into an East Conference (Atlanta, Boca Raton, New Jersey) and West Conference (Chicago, Houston, San Francisco) with teams playing two matches within their conference on Saturday, Sept. 15, and one inter-conference match on Sunday, Sept. 16. They play 9-hole matches with points awarded based on number of holes won. Coaches can substitute players every three holes ensuring all team members play. The championship trophy will be awarded at a closing ceremony following play on Sunday.
"This championship is the culmination of a great first year," said Wronowski. "We certainly salute the players and their families for their success. We have built a great foundation for the PGA Junior League Golf and expect to see incremental growth in this program in the years to come as more and more parents and kids discover golf as a great team sport and family activity."
PGA Junior League Golf is designed to bring young players together to learn the game among their peers and under the direction of PGA/LPGA Professionals serving as team captains. Parents are also encouraged to play an active role in the administration of matches and leagues, making the Junior League program a family activity with the capability to create another generation of players to enjoy the game. No previous playing experience is required and players of varied skill levels filled out the teams.
PGA Junior League Golf allows young golfers to enjoy the bonding associated with team sports without losing the competitiveness of a structured league environment. Much like other league sports, PGA Junior League Golf participants receive team uniforms with jersey numbers. Matches are coed, two-person scrambles, which reinforces the team concept and limits the pressure on any one player.
The program will be available nationally in 2013, giving facilities across the country the chance to host a PGA Junior League team. For more information on PGA Junior League Golf, visit www.pgajrleaguegolf.com.
LEJ Sports, based in Norcross, Ga., has a history of creating, implementing national grassroots initiatives that drive youth and family engagement with major sports organizations such as The PGA of America. Some of these include Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit Run, Junior NBA/Junior WNBA Skills Challenge, iHoops Skills Challenge, Junior Olympic Skills Competition, and NBA All-Star Gatorade Jam Session Invitational.
Since its founding in 1916, The PGA of America has maintained a twofold mission: to establish and elevate the standards of the profession and to grow interest and participation in the game of golf. By establishing and elevating the standards of the golf profession through world-class education, career services, marketing and research programs, The PGA enables its professionals to maximize their performance in their respective career paths and showcases them as experts in the game and in the multi-billion dollar golf industry. By creating and delivering world-class championships and innovative programs, The PGA of America elevates the public's interest in the game, the desire to play more golf, and ensures accessibility to the game for everyone, everywhere. As The PGA nears its centennial, the PGA brand represents the very best in golf.

I recently attended an all-day seminar on the Affordable Care Act scheduled to get off the ground Oct. 1. As a Congresswoman once said "We have to pass it first to know what it is all about" and she was right. Just when you think you know all about it, you are off in a different direction.
As a tax preparer, it is important to know how it will affect tax returns. There will be questions that require personal responses such as the age of dependents; did the taxpayer have at least the minimum insurance plan for a full year; what is the combined income of all persons listed on the tax return and others.
The answers for these and similar information can be the basis of verification of eligibility for the minimum insurance plans and possibly the issuance of credits toward premium payments.
Penalties for not supplying correct information regarding the eligibility of the premium assistance credit which can be assessed against the taxpayer and also the preparer for not exerting due diligence. Submiting false information because of negligence will be subject to a civil penalty of not more than $25,000, and anyone intentionally submitting false information will be fined not more than $250,000. A fine of up to $25,000 to those who willfully uses and discloses this information. The good part of this rule is that these penalties can not be collected through a lien or a levy against property.
Under the health care regulations, all employers have to notify their full-time employees by written letter regarding the health care options that are available to them by the employer. This is regardless if they are covered by a company plan or not. They have to notify them by Oct. 1 and the employer should receive a signed receipt to verify that they have met this requirement.
Sounds simple doesn't it? But who is an employee? Well, this plan states that anyone anyone that works an average of 30 hours per week is an employee. But it's not just working time that counts, its the hours you pay someone not to work such as vacation time, jury duty, etc.
Why is it so important? If the employer has more than 50 full-time employees he is considered as meeting the requirements to have his insurance mandate postponed to Jan. 1, 2015 along with many of the larger well-known companies. In the meantime, the employees will still have to seek individual plans as previously stated.
The small businesses with less than 50 full-time employees are eligible to offer health insurance with the Small Business Health Options program or commonly known as a SHOP plan. This SHOP plan will meet all of the requirements of the Act, providing "essential health benefits" to all individuals. A SHOP plan must be licensed and be in good standing, offer an adequate selection of doctors and hospitals and above all, protect against catastrophic costs.
A transit worker in Long Island, New York., was indebted to the IRS in the amount of $10,000 in unpaid taxes. Not having the money to pay, he decided to steal five welding machines from his work area and sell them.
In order to move the machines, he first stole a bucket truck to transport them to a relatives garage which he did. In order to unload the machines he had to raise the boom and forgot to lower the boom before he left to return the truck. En route, the boom accidentally hit power lines, knocking them and a utility pole down leaving 6,000 homeowners without power. He was arrested and confessed the crime. Wonder how he is going to raise bail money?
Observation: Genius is eternal patience.

Justin Bieber + Rihanna Fling: They Are Just Ridiculous Rumors
Justin Bieber and Rihanna? Had a fling? We know, it sounds ridiculous. And apparently, it is, since sources have shot down the rumor that Biebs and RiRi got it on in 2011, eventually causing the demise of his relationship with Selena Gomez. Bieber and Rihanna are just friends and she looks at him like a little bro and nothing more.
A source told Hollywood Life "hell no" when asked if the two singers ever hooked up. Yeah, that sounds about right, since Ri is a bit too old for The Biebs. She'll turn 25 on Feb. 20 and he'll be 19 on March 1. There is a six-year age difference between 'em and if they hooked up two years ago, that'd make Ri a cradle robber, since he'd have been 17 to her 23.
The insider continued, "It's crazy that people think this could be true. They are just friends. Rihanna looks at Justin like a little brother and she gives him advice. They've partied together but have never hooked up. This is crazy."
This is all speculation that stems from a Life & Style story that said that Biebs got together with Ri early on in his relationship with Gomez. That story claimed, "It really cut like a knife because it happened in February 2011, when Selena and Justin had been dating for months and were falling in love. It's caused Selena to question their entire relationship."
The story alleges that the couple also had trysts at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills (his stomping grounds) and at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
If anything, RiRi is just looking out for him. An insider said, "It's crazy that people think they're hooking up because he's actually been calling her up to get advice on what to do [with Selena]."
Maybe Ri would change her tune if she saw how sensuously The Biebs can kiss, like when he made out with the mannequin on 'Jimmy Fallon.'
