I found myself thinking about these issues again in connection with a conversation that erupted on my Facebook page today. The focus was this article, brought to my attention by Radley Balko. One very thoughtful friend raised the question of crafting a specifically libertarian response to the problem posed by the ongoing conflict described by the article.
For me, the story serves as a very pointed reminder of why I don't think HOAs and similar arrangements as optimal ways of organizing social relations without the state's intervention. I wouldn't wish the stresses associated with dealing with an HOA on anyone else. Surely anarchists can come up with more creative ways of structuring our lives together.
In any event, it strikes me that a libertarian response might include one or more of the following elements:
1. Non-Enforcement Under the Title-Transfer Theory? I'm not a particular fan of Rothbard's title transfer theory of contract, but it occurs to me that there is perhaps an argument to be made that, on this theory (depending on whether one judges that there is any sort of title transfer in an HOA), the relevant sort of contract wouldn't be enforceable at all (on the part of a court committed to Rothbardian principles, at any rate).
2. Money Damages Rather than Specific Performance as the Appropriate Remedy? Even if one does think the contract ought to be enforceable, I think it's worth asking what sort of remedy ought to be available. It's not obvious, at any rate, that the right remedy here is specific performance—perhaps it's money damages. Certainly, I'd vote for this option over specific performance.
3. Non-Enforcement Per a Protective Agency's Contract? It seems to me to be perfectly consistent with even a strictly Rothbardian anarchism (one different, therefore, from my own variety in a number of ways) for my own protective agency to decide in a situation like this that it wouldn't provide enforcement services—provided its contract with users specified that its court system reserved the right to engage in the development of rules in common law fashion in the service of equity (no doubt the situation would be different if its contract specified that would it provide enforcement services in any and all cases, but [a] it seems unlikely that any credible agency would bind itself in this way and [b] "enforcement" still needn't mean requiring specific performance, but might instead mean securing money damages).
4. Non-Violent Protest? A further libertarian response here might obviously involve non-aggressive protest, boycotting, shunning, etc. Someone engaging in this sort of response wouldn't be arguing for a change in general legal rules related to the enforcement of contracts, but would be asking that the HOA reconsider its own rules, something any non-violent objector presumably has the right to do.
I'd be interested in readers' reactions both to this specific story and to the broader questions it raises about the organization of social life and the resolution of conflict in a stateless society.

photo by
Lamphouse Photo Co.As a Holistic Nutrition Counselor I worked for years to illustrate what is available to us through whole live foods and ethical eating. I am still deeply passionate about that topic, though I no longer formally see clients. Mixed media art gives me a new vehicle for that same energy. I hope to present the paradox found in whole foods - simple matter layered with meaning and thought - in my artistic creations. Like real food, these works are perfect in their imperfections, heavy with history, ripe for interpretation. I hope they nourish you, make you smile and make you think – the same way real food does.
The Specifics:
I work primarily with acrylics on canvas or canvas boards. The first step for any canvas is usually a layer of inherited vintage 1919 Etude music magazine paper (thank you Virginia!) or some other found vintage material. Embellishments might be anything from scrap cardstock to stamp designs to metal bits and bobs. Cardmaking and papercrafting were my gateway drugs to the art world, so my handmade greeting cards will be found at any event I participate in as well.
Artist Statement:
In 2009, I converted my sunroom into a home art studio. After several years as a Holistic Nutrition Counselor I was needing to devote myself to something spontaneous and playful. There were no expectations, no desires to be an "artist". My only intention was to distract my overactive mind with paint brushes and pretty colors so I could better hear my inner voice.
Storytelling has been present throughout my life in music, writing and conversations about wellness in my nutrition practice. What keeps me in my studio everyday is the next story I want to tell on the canvas. The girls I create have multi-layered identities, making mixed media the perfect means to bring them to life. In some cases, the underlying layer may not be visible at all, indicating that there is something more going on beneath the surface. I choose to omit facial features or expressions because I want the girls to live always in the moment. Moods change, expressions shift. What they are feeling at any given moment may be whatever the viewer is experiencing.
Most pieces have layers of history in the form of vintage music magazine paper (The Etude 1919-1943 editions). The texture & sepia tones of the paper provide context and personality. I add acrylic paints, inks, stamps, transfers and cardstock as I go. When I have a message rolling around in my mind that doesn't necessarily match a girl, I give that message its own canvas. For me it is important to include something that has aged, some material which has seen a bit of life, to every piece. Each girl is made up of all her past experiences and all her ancestors' past experiences. It can be profound to look at our ancestors' patterns; even more profound to discover those same patterns repeating in our history. As I assemble a piece, I find it exciting to revise and rewrite the story as I go.
I live and create in Ta-Town. If you would like to get in touch do the thing below or tweet me.

Home Treatment
Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional. Seek immediate medical help.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patient's age, weight, and condition
- The name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- The amount swallowed
Poison Control, or a local emergency number
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
What to expect at the emergency room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
Activated charcoal
Blood tests to check vitamin levels
Breathing support
Fluids by IV
Medicine (antidote) to reverse the effect of the overdose
Tube down the mouth into the stomach to wash out the stomach (gastric lavage)
In severe cases, the patient may be admitted to the hospital.
Expectations (prognosis)
Niacin flush (vitamin B3) is uncomfortable, but lasts only 2 to 8 hours. Vitamins A and D may cause symptoms when large doses are taken each day, but a single large dose of these vitamins is rarely harmful. B vitamins usually do not cause symptoms.
If medical treatment is quickly received, patients who have iron and calcium overdoses usually recover.

Lipscomb's Lady Bisons refused to lose despite a couple of late challenges by the Mercer Bears in a rugged 58-47 win Saturday afternoon at Allen Arena.
Lipscomb coach Frank Bennett was expecting an aggressive game from Mercer and he that is exactly what he got.
"It was a gut win," said Bennett. "I was really proud of the team. It was a very, very physical game. It was hard to score. We had to battle to get stops, get rebounds and get loose balls. We were on the floor a lot. And we made some plays and free throws late to open it up a little bit."
The win was the third in a row for the Lady Bisons in Atlantic Sun games.
The Lady Bisons started out strong for the second game in a row, taking a 7-0 lead in the first four minutes of the first half. They held onto the lead, winning 21-15 at the half.
"Nobody could score in the first half," said Bennett. "It was kind of a slow motion fast start. It was so physical it was hard for anybody to score. We weren't shooting the ball quite as sharp as we can. They played great pressure and we were playing good defense so it was very low scoring.
In the second half the Lady Bisons opened up a 12-point lead at 18:14 on a lay-up by Miriam McAlister.
From 12:22 to 10:23 Mercer went on a 7-0 run to trim the Lady Bisons lead to three points at 33-30.
The Lady Bisons responded with a 3-pointer from guard Dana Carrigan and free throws from Penny Jones, Catie Woods and Carrigan to pull back ahead by nine points at 41-32 with 7:34 left in the game.
Again Mercer made a comeback seven unanswered points, including a 3-pointer by Mercer's Courtney Hall and a jumper by Rhonda Owens, to pull within two points, the closest they came to the Lady Bisons at 41-39 with 5:42 left.
The Lady Bisons pulled away one last time with a 12-2 run for a 54-41 lead with 1:09 left to play.
"We have been trying to weather storms, not letting people make huge runs at us, and I think we are getting better at that," Bennett said. `Rebounding is part it. People making plays is part of it."
The Lady Bisons held a 49-40 advantage on the boards, one area that Bennett thought was a key to victory. Senior center Katie Beth Pate grabbed a game-high and season-high 15 rebounds, her fifth time to rebound in double figures in the last six games.
Pate also had seven blocks, a season high and one short of her school record of eight, set four times during her career.
"Katie Beth was really big on the boards," said Bennett. "Miriam McAlister had eight. Penny Jones had six. Winning on the boards was huge. We thought the boards would be the biggest factor in who would win."
Woods tied her season high in points with a game-high 18 for the Lady Bisons. Carrigan added 12 points.
"Catie did a great job," said Bennett. "She was having to play a lot of minutes and play a lot of defense. We tried to give her some short rest and play her a little bit as a No. 2 guard. Woods and Carrigan both knocked down big threes for us."
The Lady Bisons shot 34.9 percent from the field. Mercer shot 25.7 percent.
Mercer was led by guard Sarah Russell with 10 points. Center Tanya Kessenich and Rhonda Owens tied for the lead in rebounds for the Bears with eight.
The Lady Bisons are 6-13 overall, 5-7 in the A-Sun. Mercer is 10-9 overall, 7-5 in the conference.
Thursday night the Lady Bisons are on the road to face Gardner- Webb in Boiling Springs, N.C.
"We have a long way to go, but we are making some progress," said Bennett. "Our next step is to try to win some road games or at least get some splits or steal some games on the road.
"Our defense, our rebounding and our toughness are getting better. We might be in a better position to win on the road."

Sculthorpe Moor Community Nature Reserve
The word 'Moor' is an ancient term for 'a wet place' such as the fen – also seen in names of wildlife such as 'Moorhen'.
Leased from The Francis Beckham Trust (a local parish trust) Sculthorpe Moor has been acquired by the Hawk and Owl Trust as a nature reserve. The land was originally given to Sculthorpe Parish as compensation for land enclosures in the 1700s. The demand for traditional uses such as stock grazing and peat cutting for fuel has now long ceased, and the once open habitat became overgrown with scrub and woodland.
Restoration Plan
The plan is to restore the reed and sedge beds to their open glory, but sensitively graduated into the adjoining ancient coppice woodland. Sculthorpe Moor can now be managed not only for wildlife but as a sustainable community nature reserve teaching the skills and glories of fen and woodland management.
Saw Sedge (Cladium mariscus)
Sculthorpe Moor is the only place in the Wensum Valley where saw sedge occurs, now a priority habitat for conservation on the European scale. Because it is so much more flexible than reed, saw sedge is traditionally used for thatched roof ridges.
In the early 1980s, Sculthorpe Moor was frequented by winter roosting hen harriers. Hen harriers roost on the ground and saw sedge is one of their preferred habitats. By the early 1990s, the birds had disappeared due to the encroachment of scrub into the open areas of sedge. It is intended to open up and restore the sedge beds and harvest them on a three year rotation to again provide young and vigorous sedge.
The Hawk and Owl Trust has taken on this project to benefit not only the birds of prey such as harriers and barn owls that frequent the site, but also the entire eco system that supports these top predators through the traditional working practices that are responsible for the creation of this special habitat.

At the American Taekwondo Association's (ATA) World Championships, Mr. William R. Taft of Boonville's The Way Martial Arts acted as the personal bodyguard for Grand Master In Ho Lee, the highest ranking official of the largest martial arts organization in the world, the ATA.
At the American Taekwondo Association's (ATA) World Championships, Mr. William R. Taft of Boonville's The Way Martial Arts acted as the personal bodyguard for Grand Master In Ho Lee, the highest ranking official of the largest martial arts organization in the world, the ATA.
Every year ATA competitors and representatives from all over the world travel to Littlerock, Arkansas, home of the ATA's world headquarters, to participate in the organization's premier event, the Songahm Taekwondo World Championships. This annual tournament and conference took place June 18 through June 24 at Littlerock's Statehouse Convention Center.
Mr. Taft personally escorted Grand Master In Ho Lee to all public engagements throughout the event, providing a watchful eye with deadly seriousness. Mr. Taft's appointment as personal bodyguard was completed incident free and offered a great opportunity to see the inner workings of the organization which he represents as owner and Chief Instructor of The Way Martial Arts, an ATA affiliated school. Grand Master In Ho Lee personally requested the services of Mr. Taft for this appointment as well as Mr. Justin Hanolin, Co-owner of Liberty, Missouri's ATA Martial Arts school. Grand Master In Ho Lee lovingly refers to Mr. Taft and Mr. Hanolin as his grandsons.
Continued on B2
"As a little boy I had posters of Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee and Grand Master In Ho Lee on the walls of my bedroom. It's hard for me to put into words what an honor and privilege it is to spend so much time with one of my personal heroes," said Mr. Taft, about his security detail for the 2012 Songahm Taekwondo World Championships.
The Way Martial Arts is located in Boonville's Main Street Shopping Center, at 520 Ryan Street. The school instructs students in the discipline of Songahm Taekwondo, "The Martial Art that trains students both Mentally and Physically". The Way Martial Arts began operating in the Boonville area in the fall of 2011, led by husband and wife team Mr. William R. Taft and Mrs. Sarah Taft. Chief Instructor and owner of The Way Martial Arts, Mr. William R. Taft, third degree Black Belt in Songahm Taekwondo, has been teaching martial arts for over twenty-eight years. The ATA has trained more than one million students and has over 350,000 active members worldwide with 1,200 independently owned and operated schools in five continents.
The ATA was founded in 1969 by Eternal Grand Master, H.U. Lee in Omaha, NE. Taekwondo, which means the way of the foot and fist, is known in the martial arts community for its flashy kicks, with notable students such as Chuck Norris and Bill "Super Foot" Wallace. The ATA trained Noah Ringer, star of the film, The Last Air Bender, and the ATA's subsidiary, XMA (Extreme Martial Arts), trained both Jaden Smith, star of The New Karate Kid, and Taylor Lottner, from the Twilight series movies.

Fontana: The Best Worst Picture I Ever TookPosted by in General
The last time NASCAR was at Auto Club Speedway (California Speedway) was last fall- it also happened to be the last time I was at Autoclub. We interviewed Tony for a second time (and he claimed to remember us so yey), went to the fan fest at the track and we had a great side trip to San Diego (I had never been there before even though I have lived in Cali all my life). So it was a great weekend "racecation"- I got great blog fodder and I got to go somewhere I hadn't been before. Win win. Until Sunday when my win-win weekend turned into a WIN weekend!
I love to take pictures (and sometimes I am good at it too- See this photo album for proof). During any given race weekend I attend in person, I normally end up with a sore or stiff neck by the end of the day from carrying one or both of my dslr cameras around hoping to find that perfect picture. Last Fontana race was no different. I had my camera with me. I was in the main grandstands – probably three sections or so before the flag stand. Now- five months later I don't remember many of the details about the race. I remember Jeff Gordon got a pit road speeding penalty because I remember Misty was MAD! (I don't blame her- I was pretty ticked when Tony got his penalty in Vegas). I also remember it was pretty hot (no surprise there) and worrying my mascara was melting all over my face (it wasn't- yey Clinique).
So as the race was winding down, I remember thinking that Tony probably wouldn't win but hoping he would have at least a top five finish. Then the laps wound down even further and I must have said something like "He's not going to win" to Misty. I say that because I remember her standing there in the stands next to me- decked out in her Jeff Gordon garb just to give you a clear picture- CHASTISING me HARD for saying whatever negative thing I had said. I remember sitting down at one point because I didn't want to see him NOT win. Of course Misty told me to get up after letting me stew for about half a lap…which of course I did. And then…I watched Tony cross the finish line first. I was SOOO EXCITED because not only did I get to finally see Tony win a race in person but it was at a track he hadn't won at yet.
I was so excited that I got only two pictures of the event.
This one…not so bad considering I was sitting way across from pit road in the grandstands:
And here is the second picture…and this one is my favorite even though it is probably one of the WORST picture I have EVER taken:
You are probably looking at it and thinking: Egads woman- that picture sucks! Why do you love it so much? Well let me explain it to you. I was so excited that I obviously forgot to not only focus, but I also forgot that I had the lens zoomed in on the crew. So it's blurry and only a partial shot of the car doing a burnout…but the emotion involved in getting the shot is what makes it priceless. That and I GOT TO WATCH TONY WIN IN PERSON AT A TRACK HE HADN'T WON AT BEFORE! It was an awesome day.
I hope he has another awesome day down there at AutoClub Speedway this Sunday! GO TONY GO!

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The chief executive of Societe Generale's (SOGN.PA) Russian unit was held in Moscow on Wednesday on suspicion of receiving bribes, dealing a blow to the French bank's hopes of achieving a turnaround on its primary foreign market.
The questioning of Rosbank Chief Executive Vladimir Golubkov follows promises by President Vladimir Putin to crack down on endemic corruption in business and public life but it is also a blow against one of the few international banks left in Russia.
Despite announcing cost cuts when it published its latest results, SocGen has reaffirmed its commitment to Russia, a market it entered at high cost over the past decade that has been abandoned by other Western banks.
Those plans could now be at risk after Golubkov's detention on suspicion of illegally accepting a six-figure dollar sum and soliciting a far larger bribe.
The Rosbank CEO was held "on suspicion of receiving illegal monetary compensation" totaling 5 million roubles ($159,600), the Russian Interior Ministry said in a statement that gave his job title but not his name.
Golubkov was also suspected of soliciting a bribe of $1.5 million to grant a loan, and a second senior Rosbank manager was also held. Rosbank declined to comment. A source close to the bank said Golubkov was at his office in central Moscow.
Payments to facilitate loans are not unusual in Russia's banking system and typically go undetected. Cases that do come to light have been known to result from a competitor mobilizing so-called 'administrative resources' to put pressure on a bank.
Western banks including Barclays (BARC.L) and HSBC (HSBA.L) have pulled out in recent years, having paid up to four times book value to get a foothold in Russia only to find they could not compete with state-backed Sberbank (SBER.MM) and VTB (VTBR.MM).

Not with a bang, more like a hot breeze, Lana Del Rey walked sultrily into or lives back in 2011. In a world of insistent booty shaking, her aura of suave coolness was a welcome change of pace. And that she appeared with a seemingly unending arsenal of strong songs combining the sound of right now with a 60´s-tinged sense of melancholia and ennui made her almost impossible to resist. Ever since she´s been building her alternative universe, a place where David Lynch is locked in a never ending slow dance with Nancy Sinatra and you´re welcome there too. Just slide thru the velvet drapes and don´t make any sudden moves.
After Lana Del Reys breakthrough with the viral sensation "Video Games" and the follow up "Blue Jeans", she released the album "Born to die". It went on to become the fifth most sold album of 2012. Since then she´s released two albums ("Ultraviolence" and "Honeymoon") and three EPs filled with dark, dreamy music. Recently she released the new album "Lust For Life" and it is clear that 2017 will be the biggest year ever for Lana Del Rey.
Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (born June 21, 1985), known professionally as Lana Del Rey, is an American singer, songwriter, and model. Her music has been noted by critics for its stylized cinematic quality, its preoccupation with themes of tragic romance, glamour, and melancholia, and its references to pop culture, particularly 1950s and 1960s Americana.
Lana Del Rey is today's headliner at Way Out West, performs last this evening at Flamingo.
Today's tune "Love" was released on February 18, 2017, through Polydor Records and Interscope Records, as the lead single from her fifth studio album, Lust for Life (2017). The song was written and produced by Del Rey, Benny Blanco, Emile Haynie and Rick Nowels, with additional production by Kieron Menzies. Its release was first teased with promotional posters hung in Los Angeles on February 17, after which the release date was pushed up due to leaked versions of the song surfacing online the same day.

Xcel Energy, a Minneapolis-headquartered electricity and natural gas provider, and the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recently unveiled their $2 million wind-to-hydrogen (wind2H2) test facility at NREL's National Wind Technology Center near Boulder, Colo.
This unique project transmits the electricity generated by a Northern Power Systems 100 kW wind turbine and a Bergey 10 kW wind turbine through water in order to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen. Production of the hydrogen will be accomplished with two different electrolyzer technologies, including Wallingford, Conn.-based Proton Energy's HOGEN 40RE proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer and Hunt Valley, Md.-based Teledyne Energy Systems Inc.'s HM-100 alkaline electrolyzer.
Both electrolyzer products have been modified for use with renewable energy technologies. Integration of these products with wind turbines, however, will be studied in detail at the wind2H2 facility.
'One of the goals for this project is to identify and eliminate duplicative power electronic components in these commercially available products for use in hydrogen production facilities,' says Ben Kroposki, senior project manager for NREL. 'Another goal is to examine the influence on the electrolyzers of variability in the input power from wind turbines.'
The electrolyzers will produce hydrogen at 150 pounds per square inch (psi), and the hydrogen will be compressed to 3,500 psi for storage in steel tanks. The stored hydrogen can be used in the future to produce electricity with either internal combustion engines (ICE) or fuel cells. Algona, Iowa-based Hydrogen Engine Center Inc. has joined the project to help prove the practicality of using HEC's 60 kW hydrogen-powered generator set, which includes a generator and a modified Ford ICE, to produce electricity for delivery to the utility grid.
'By marrying wind turbines to hydrogen production, we create a synergy that systematically reduces the drawbacks of each,' says Richard Kelly, Xcel's president and chief executive officer.
On the one hand, wind power is variable " it can be unavailable when needed by the utility grid and available when it is not needed. On the other hand, while hydrogen is the most abundant chemical element, it occurs naturally only in combination with other elements. It is necessary to 'harvest' hydrogen by using a source of electricity in an electrolyzer or by extracting the element from natural gas. However, producing hydrogen as an environmentally friendly fuel source with resources that make emissions is counterintuitive. The wind2H2 facility takes advantage of zero-emissions electricity produced by wind turbines when the electricity is not needed by the utility grid to operate zero-emissions electrolyzers for hydrogen production.
According to Kroposki, the testing facility will be in operation at the National Wind Technology Center for two to three years. When testing is completed, he adds, components of the facility will be disconnected from the onsite turbines and moved to an as-yet-undetermined location on Xcel's distribution system.
NREL and Xcel plan to release a public update on the project in the summer of 2007. Data from the project will be shared with the Hydrogen Utility Group (HUG), which was founded in October 2005 by Xcel, Arizona Public Service, DTE Energy, Entergy, Fort Collins Utilities, Nebraska Public Power District, New York Power Authority, Sacramento Municipal Utility District and Southern Company in association with NREL, the Electric Power Research Institute and the National Hydrogen Association.
HUG members are seeking a place for utilities in a future hydrogen market. In a September 2006 report, 'Electrolysis: Information and Opportunities for Electric Power Utilities,' Kroposki and co-authors Johanna Levene and Kevin Harrison note that if the transportation market migrated to hydrogen-based vehicles, it 'could be a large new opportunity for electric utilities to provide electricity for electrolysis or possibly provide the hydrogen end product.'
The authors add that it is possible for utilities to more than double the amount of electricity they provide currently through the production of hydrogen by means of electrolysis. More importantly, based on the findings of a 2005 NREL study, 'Analysis of Hydrogen Production from Renewable Electricity Sources,' the authors believe it is possible to accomplish this expansion with wind and solar resources only.
Xcel is working with the University of Minnesota West Central Research and Outreach Center on the development of another wind2H2 demonstration facility. This project, which will use the power from a 1.65 MW turbine that was erected in 2005, will examine the potential both of nitrogen fertilizer (i.e., anhydrous ammonia) production and hydrogen fuel production for the transportation industry.

Some proposals for extra field names:
Revision as of 04:03, 19 September 2007
VorbisComment is a base-level metadata format initially created for use with Ogg Vorbis. It has since been adopted in the specifications of Ogg encapsulations for other Xiph.Org codecs including Theora, Speex and FLAC.
The use case for VorbisComment is given as:
... much like someone jotting a quick note on the bottom of a CDR. It should be a little information to remember the disc by and explain it to others; a short, to-the-point text note that need not only be a couple words, but isn't going to be more than a short paragraph.[1]
VorbisComments are typically used to provide basic information like the title and copyright holder of a work. As such the scope is similar to that of ID3 tags used with MP3 files. VorbisComment is widely supported on portable Ogg Vorbis players as well as streaming, editing and playback software.
Although the syntax of VorbisComment is well-specified, various conventions exist for the field names in use. The goal for this page is to codify best practices and collect proposals for standardization of VorbisComment field names.
VorbisComment is the simplest and most widely-supported mechanism for storing metadata with Xiph.Org codecs. For other existing and proposed mechanisms, see Metadata.
Field names
The current VorbisComment recommendation contains a recommended set of comments.
Some proposals for extra field names:
Comments are intended to be free-form, but for the purposes of interoperability, it is helpful to define tag sets for particular applications, and provide some guidelines for machine parsing.
- Some field names may have to be non-free-form to achieve machine parsing. Such as ENCODER, DATE, RIGHTS-DATE, and RIGHTS-URI. See reasoning below.
Character encoding
The goal is to be offer better support for more languages and make machine processing faster.
Specification should be a little more strict to achevie this.
Field names may be UTF-8 and all UPPERCASE for easier machine processing.
Allowing tag names to be UTF-8 instead of ASCII is a backwards-incompatible spec change. If we did this, requiring that the case mapping happen in the tagging application rather than in decoders is reasonable, since case mapping in unicode is non-trival.
The original argument for ASCII was that we need standardized tag names for interoperability, so there's no point in being able to localize them, and we might as well go with our native prejudice. Localizing the values should be done by appending a language code to the tag, since this is both machinable and there may be collisions between translated tag names.
- UTF-8 is a bad idea in field names. The field names are for machine interpretation, localisation should be done on the software side. UTF-8 introduces matching problems (canonical form) and encoding/decoding problems (difficulty in finding length of a string). Please sign comments; I think the above is a cumulative set of comments, but no idea.--Imalone 01:11, 17 September 2007 (PDT)
Dates and time
The goal is to specify one standard format for describing dates and time.
ISO proposal
The date format for any field describing a date must follow the ISO scheme: YYYY-MM-DD or shortened to just YYYY-MM or simply YYYY.
We have been recommending this usage with the DATE tag for some time. It is proposed that the spec be amended to include this information for machinability.
The time format for any field except track duration must be specified with leading T and ending with a time zone. Schemas with and without dates: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+TS THH:MM+TZ
New ENCODER field name proposal
The goal is to attribute encoder software. This value can be used in the future to determine which files can be improved by being reencoded with a newer version.
- Comment: What os lacking from the vendor string present in the spec from the start? All libvorbis and encoder tunings I'm aware of have recorded the encoder version here. Note that ffmpeg2theora uses ENCODER, but does not include a url. I've also seen ENCODED_BY.
- I am trying to get the spesification to include that this field must contain a unique URL and version number. For the reason liste above. Whether to including the field at all would of course be optional.
The encoder field name must be a unique URL providing both encoder software name and version. If no unique URL address is available were both name and version is available; then the version number can be spsified by separating with a space character. For examples:
ENCODER=http://flac.sourceforge.net/ 1.2.1
Improving license data
The goal is to provide a method for proclaiming license and copyright information (basically clarifying 'distribution rights (if any) and ownership').
The specification document describes LICENSE and COPYRIGHT fields. But is not clear enough about whether these should be machine-readable.
We should consider working together with Creative Commons to have complementary and interlinked information on the CC and Xiph wikis. Refer to the Ogg page in the CC wiki.
New RIGHTS field name proposal
One proposal is to replace the COPYRIGHT and LICENSE field names with RIGHTS. RIGHTS must be a human-readable copyright statement. Basic example:
RIGHTS=Copyright © Recording Company Inc. All distribution rights reserved.
But this is not machine-readable. Adding two complementary field names should do the trick: RIGHTS-DATE, describing the date of copyright; and RIGHTS-URI, providing a method for linking to a license. Software agents can assume that multiple songs uses the sameURIs, such as in the case for Creative Commons. Full example:
RIGHTS=Copyright © 2019 Recording Company Inc. All distribution rights reserved.
Software such as for multimedia management and playback are encouraged to display the RIGHTS statement as a linked phrase using RIGHTS-URI.
RIGHTS-DATE does not need to be displayed as it is required in the human readable version by international copyright agreements. RIGHTS-DATE can be used to determine when a copyrighted work falls under the public domain and related matters. (The Beatles' copyright on their original studio recordings (not the remixes) are soon expiering. So mechanisms such as the RIGHTS-DATE are indeed required in music management and filesharing software!)
To remain machine-readable it would be required to have at most one instance of each RIGHTS field name. All fields would of course remain optional.
The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative recommends the use of 'rights' to describe license and copyright matters. The web feed format Atom 1.0 has implemented a rights element in their specification.
Improving existing fields proposal
Similar to the DATE tag above, we have generally recommended that a URL uniquely identifying the license be included in the LICENSE field to allow machine identification of the license. This is in agreement with the proposal in the CC wiki. Since the COPYRIGHT field is a human-readable statement of the copyright, like the proposed RIGHTS tag above, some people include a license url there. Therefore if a url can't be found in a LICENSE tag if any, applications should use one from the COPYRIGHT tag, if any. Contact information for verification, attribution, relicensing, etc. can be obtained from the COPYRIGHT field, but CC also recommend a separate CONTACT tag for this information. This is reasonable, so we propose it be included.
Attributing involved parties
The goal is to attribute more persons and organisations involved in audio and music productions to make room for more advanced search and sorting.
NO PROPOSALS! Needs much extending beyond just ARTIST field name. See work at proposed XML replacement for Vorbis Comments, MDMF.

Revision as of 17:15, August 28, 2006
The Orthodox Church in Italy (Chiesa Ortodossa in Italia) was founded in 1991 by Italian orthodox bishop Antonio (De Rosso), a former Roman Catholic priest, who became bishop of Aprilia and Latium under the jurisdiction of Metropolitan Cyprian of Oropos and Fili, a leader of Greek Old Calendarists movement. In 1993 the church joined Bulgarian Orthodox Church and in 1995 bishop Antonio was enthroned bishop of Ravenna and Italy. After 1997 the Orthodox Church in Italy remained linked with Patriarch Pimen's Bulgarian Alternative Synod and bishop Antonio became Metropolitan of Ravenna and Italy. During that year, the Orthodox Church in Italy was recognized as an autonomous church and Metropolitan Antonio became a full member of Pimen's Saint Synod. Nowadays, the Orthodox Church in Italy is in full communion with Bulgarian Alternative Synod, Montenegrin Orthodox Church, Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kiev Patriarchy, Macedonian Orthodox Church and some small churches.

Three Recipes, Two Kinds of Asparagus
Ugh. It's been a long day. This may not be all it should be, but here goes. We had a great weekend, the first weekend a few local vegetables made it to the farmers market after a crazy bit of weather stunned us all, plants included. As it happens early and late in the season, the variety is not so much there, but what there is, is really good.
Saturday's bounty included my lettuce plants, but also some large, sweet scallions, and fresh asparagus, green and purple. If you have never seen purple asparagus before, don't worry. It's not that common. It is uncommonly good, however. We bought four large bunches of purple and one of green, a bunch of scallions and a few more herbs and plants for me to try not to kill. By the way, the plants are looking good. I know, it's only been a couple weeks, but I don't have a good track record with horticulture.
It was warm, and beautiful outside all weekend. Sunday, we met some friends for a picnic snack and trip to the "farm," a petting zoo and play area. I lured them into dinner by describing the menu: roasted purple asparagus; ham, asparagus, onion and goat cheese tart; very fresh lettuces for salad; roasted green beans; and a bottle of Pouilly-Fuissé. To make the meal perfect, I got a "Mommy, I like it!" from the toddler section. And she ate it all.
No cheating, the recipes follow. I'll make the long story short. No leftovers for the week. So, here I am on a Tuesday night after a long day, and nothing cooked. Clinging toddler, who also had a long day. She just held onto me when I picked her up. Would not let go, did not want in the car. Things were not looking good for trying out the new recipe I drafted over lunch at my desk.
I remember why most people don't cook for their kids every night. There was clinging, and demanding, and pulling of my shirt. Little hands shooting up onto the counter to grab some ham as I chopped it, oh-so-close to the knife, oh-so-close to the stove. Ever have those moments that seem to stretch out like ten times their normal length? Now, why can't those be the good moments?
Hard to believe it was just 15 minutes of time. Yup, still the same amount as a trip through the drive-thru. Well, there is the kitchen to clean. But I hear clattering down there. Hey, it might be done — thank you, husband! Rachel Ray never promises the clean up in her time frame, and she gets 30 minutes without a wild banshee diving through her legs and screaming the whole time.
So, tonight I cooked a variation on the theme, using many of the same ingredients. I promised more of these recipes! And, when all you have is a lot of one vegetable, that's how you cook. Tonight's feast was Asparagus, Ham, Peas and Tortellini with Parmesan Herb Sauce.
A heavy cream sauce would have drowned all the flavor of fresh spring veggies and herbs. I wanted to go light. There's only a couple ways to lighten a cream sauce; use half-and-half, and a lot less sauce. The result is healthier, and tastes better without that "Thanksgiving dinner" feeling from saturated fat overload.

god, I love roasted asparagus. Now I'm going to have to go out and hunt down the last remaining tender asparagus in our local organic wholefood stores before they all disappear for the autumn. I've never seen purple asparagus - I think I must make a trip to the Queen Victoria Market (the mother lode for foodies here in Melbourne. Huuuuuuge inner city market. Delicious. Food. Wine. Produce. Cheese. Pastry. Funky atmosphere. Happy children everywhere. So when are you coming!?)
- The Expatriate Chef said...
Tomorrow sound okay? I really want to make it there, bring the family, meet all of you, and one of my best friends as soon as she moves back from China! Soon, soon!
- Rachel said...
sounds great!
BTW, I also forgot to say - Pouilly Fouisse (excuse the spelling)? You truly are a woman after my own heart. After a Sancerre, Pouilly Fouisse is my favorite, favorite, favorite French white wine.
- The Expatriate Chef said...
It's a tough one to spell! It's my husband's favorite as well. I have a lovely recipe for Sancerre wine made into a syrup with honey and spices over fresh greens and a blue cheese crostini ... I can send you a link to that. My favorite white is an NZ wine, Brancott Reserve Sauvingon Blanc. Tastes like fresh pears. Lovely.
- Rachel said...
the sancerre recipe sounds yummy. I like a sauvignon blanc as well; I especially like to use it in my risotto recipe; for some reason, it blends the best with everything else.
I just bought Purple Asparagus and need a recipe. Now, I have to decide which one to use.
- viagra online said...
I don't know why, but people usually don't like asparagus. However, they can not imagine what they are losing. I love roasted asparagus, even is my favorite dish, but you give me new ideas, because I've not tasted the other recipes you published, so probably I'm gonna make it in this days.

As calving time approaches the cow due to calve needs to be watched closely for any complications.
The USDA Farm Service Agency's Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) provides financial assistance similar to crop insurance to eligible producers affected by natural disasters.
The upcoming deadlines to file an application for natural disaster protection under the NAP are March 1 and March 15.
The crops for March 1 deadline are: Alfalfa, clover, grass, millet, mixfg, teff.
The Council for Burley Tobacco is now accepting grant applications for the 2014 spring funding cycle. Deadline for the spring application period is 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 6.
Projects should be geared to research, education and promotion projects to benefit the burley tobacco industry. Requests from individuals/institutions not related to the burley industry will only be considered if there is a clear, significant benefit to the burley tobacco farmers or organizations.
The Harrison County Farmers' Market will hold the first general meeting of 2014 at the Harrison County Extension Office on March 10 at 6:30 p.m. Pizza, salad and drinks will be served during the meeting.
Since this will be our first meeting of the year we ask for past members plus anyone else considering joining this year to attend this meeting. Market business will be discussed along with training required for new and existing members.
The Harrison County Extension Office will offer a Grain Herbicide meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 18 starting at noon with lunch. The meeting will be held at the Harrison County Extension Center's large meeting room.
Over the last few years corn and soybean acres have increased dramatically in Harrison County. As we prepare for the coming season it becomes important to use the best options to control weeds that might have become a problem.
As I write we are getting flurries and the forecast calls for some frigid temperatures (by now we are experiencing them!)
We have called to have our old furnace serviced to hedge our bets against frozen pipes as the heat pump struggles to keep up with single digit temperatures.
The firewood is staked and ready to stoke the Buckstove for overnight; and if the sidewalks get slick we have a stash of deicing agents. As the winter season unfolds, consider the effect that deicing agents have on your plants.
I am sure most farmers in the area have made a special effort to feed and maintain an adequate water supply for their animals during this extreme cold weather. The last couple of weeks have created stress on the animals and the produce as well. The need of a good feed supply is essential to maintaining our animals. With spring calving season approaching the following article was prepared by Dr. Jeff Lehmkuhler on care for young calves as the late winter and spring calving season occurs.
The Kentucky Department of Agriculture's Poster and Essay Contest will add a category for digital submissions this year along with the traditional poster and essay competitions.
The theme of this year's contest is "Kentucky Farmers — Our American Heroes."
Every couple of years I like to revisit my father's favorite Christmas poem inspired by Clement Moore's famous work 'Night Before Christmas'.
The writer is unknown but he or she certainly was a gardener; and you may even get some last minute gift ideas from its verse.
Fred Wiche, my father and the first Weekend Gardener, started writing this column years ago, imparting gardening advice and humor.
The USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Kentucky is encouraging landowners, farmers and producers to visit their local NRCS office now to receive information and apply for conservation technical assistance and possible financial funding opportunities.

Hawaii Five O Classic TV Show
The action-packed police adventure series set in the lush and colourful islands of Hawaii.
NEWS: GONE: James MacArthur
Hawaii Five O Fan Tributes16 raj from london: wished some hawaii five-o were filimed in london
15 Michael Bedford from Phoenixville, PA: Now that I've successfully purchased the complete series I've thoroughly enjoyed episodes watched and still have many, many more to go..I like to imagine myself in the role of Steve's assistant, "Danno!"
14 Michael Bedford from Phoenixville, PA 19460: I would like to purchase a set of used five-o tapes or dvd's of the series......it can even be a portion of the series but I would need a discount price, as my social security disability isn't that high.
13 alizar from venezuela: this show is very exiting, I remember to jack lord was mac garret and missing with him and loved with danny james macarthur I wishes see again the amazing show
12 Mark Davidson from Toronto: Hawaii Five-O was the king on Thursday nights, nothing stood up to it. Seeing the reruns on TV-Land, shows how well it stands the test of time. I don't know what was tougher McGarrett or his hair!!! It still has the best song of all time. I have seen all the other shows out on DVD and this is the big hold out. I cannot wait.
11 leisa b 38 from Maine: loved that theme song Steve McGarrett and Danny Williams they were the best hardly ever missed an episode and I would love to see Jack Lords memorial when I am in Hawaii
10 Olivia Hack from Port of Spain, Trinidad: I didn't notice that Hawaii Five O lasted for twelve years. It lasted from 1968 to 1980. I have a copy of the theme song on CD. Hawaii Five O was a long-running TV series. Jack Lord died of congestive heart failure on January 21, 1998. Hawaii Five O had 284 episodes.
9 Pam Layton from Portsmouth, Hants: Hawaii Five O was fantastic,I particularly loved Jack Lord as Steve McGarrett. I have all the episodes on tape and play them very often. I went to Hawaii and it was magical actually being there but I also felt sad because I felt I was too late. I would have loved to have visited when Five O was being filmed there and I could have had the chance of seeing McGarrett. One fan on this page (Hazel Beeze) said she would like to go to Hawaii to see Jack's memorial,well I saw it and was very disappointed, I didn't think it looked like him at all.
What I would like now more than anything is to have a ride in one of the cars he drove and also visit the island again but this time with people who are all big Five O fans like myself.
God Bless you Jack, we will never forget you.xxx
8 Tara Berardi from Huntsville,Ont: I have to agree Hawaii Five-O should be out on DVD and Jack Lord is my all time
favorite because he lights up the screen when I watch him I know that he will be missed but remember him for his performance as the Good Looking cop Steve McGarrett because he knew how to nab the bad guys with the help of his sidekick Danny Williams played by James MacArthur Hawaii Five-O is the best cop
show that is watched by millions of people.
Aloha and Book Em Danno
7 Lise Gilly from chicago: I agree, Five-0 should be on DVD by now. Many other classic TV shows have their DVD collections, why not this show? I really think Five-0 was a prototype for all of the cop shows on TV now. Ain't nothing like the real thing baby!
6 Bobby from Ilford: When I was young I always thought Jack Lord came from the ocean in that bubble and returns back each night. The bubble being the Sun setting on the ocean on the opening scenes! Dim or what?
5 Joe Harrington from CT-USA: Hope that some day they release the series on DVD. This is still my favorite all time series. It is the reason I went to Hawaii. I fell in love with the beautiful scenery.
4 peter-josephhegarty from London: I remember I started out trying to HATE Hawaii Five-O (``American rubbish'' etc.). I ended up LOVING it. Every element -- the plots, the speed of the action, the slightly over-the-top characterization, the sheer style of the programme, especially Steve McG of course, and even the incidental music (were they bass trombones?) -- made it a compelling package. As for favourite moments -- any of the ``Book 'im Danno, murder one'' finales!
3 Marz Irving from U.K.: The most fantastic police thriller ever screened. The location (yes, I have been & it was NOT a dissapointment!) & the most GORGEOUS guys ever brought together one one screen!! Do you not agree - who could choose between - real cool Jack (Steve) delectable Danno & real hunky Kono!!. Girls - I rest my case - you choose!!!!!
2 Hazel Beese from West Midlands: Hawaii Five 0 is my all time favourite TV programme. I love everything about it, especially Jack Lord - no one could have played McGarret the way that he did. I will never tire of the re-runs and watch them over and over. My dream is to go to Hawaii to see his memorial when it's completed

While this week's featured article may sound more like a type of food than a Medicare reference, the term "donut hole" actually refers to a gap in prescription drug coverage under Medicare's Part D plan.
Many seniors are not aware of the issue until they see an increase in the cost of medications they are prescribed. If the total combined cost (what you pay out-of-pocket plus what your drug plan pays) of your prescription medications is more than $2,970 in 2013, you will reach the Medicare Part D coverage gap, informally known as the "donut hole."
The donut hole has always been a complex issue to understand.
A limit is set each year for medication costs that your Medicare Part D drug plan will cover. In 2013, this limit is $2,970.
When this limit is reached, your plan will cover prescription medication at a discounted rate until you reach $4,750 during the calendar year. Within this gap in coverage, you are responsible for paying for prescription drugs, based on any applicable discounts from the drug manufacturers.
Most pharmaceutical drug companies participate in the Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program, which helps consumers pay for the cost of prescription drugs not covered during the donut hole period.
Not everyone will reach the donut hole. But, if you expect that your cost for prescription drugs will exceed the amount of $2,970 in 2013, you may be eligible for the following savings:
A 52.5-percent discount for covered brand-name prescription drugs purchased through mail-order or at your pharmacy.
A 21-percent discount for covered generic prescription drugs.
For example, William No Name takes four prescription medications every month. In 2013, he estimates that these prescriptions will total $3,500 for the year. Once Mr. No Name and his drug company collectively spend $2,970, he will enter the donut hole coverage gap. At that point, Mr. No Name will be eligible for the discounts previously mentioned.
The Affordable Care Act has proposed a gradual decrease in annual out-of-pocket expenses through 2020. At that time, consumers will only be responsible for paying 25 percent of the cost of both brand-name and generic drugs during the donut hole. These savings will result in consumers having to pay less for their prescription medication.
It is important to note that the coverage gap does not apply to those who receive Medicaid benefits or low-income subsidies.
If you are unfamiliar with the donut hole and you anticipate spending more on prescription medication in the coming year, it may be helpful to contact a State Health Insurance Program Counselor at the Office on Aging by calling 803-734-9900 or 800-868-9095.
Question of the week
Q: How will I know if I am close to reaching the "donut hole"?
A: When you fill a prescription, your prescription drug plan will inform you of how much you have spent on covered medication through a notice mailed to you for that particular month. The notice will also inform you if you have reached the coverage gap and if discounts have been paid by the drug manufacturers.
For more information, contact the South Carolina Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging at 803-734-9900 or 800-868-9095 or go to www.aging.sc.gov.

Is it time to replace the dealer reserve with a flat fee?
Chris Markey, Internet sales and finance manager at BMW of Austin, thinks so.
Dealer reserve "invites predatory behavior," he said Monday on the sidelines of the Consumer Bankers Association's "CBA Live" conference in Austin, Texas.
Dealer reserve is where the dealership marks up the interest rate and shares in the profit. That's how indirect auto loans negotiated at a dealership work, and it's a key component of dealership profits. While flat fees have been around for years, they've never been poised to become the industry standard.
But times have changed.
Dealer groups and lenders are worried because the Federal Trade Commission and new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are said to be looking at dealer reserve with a jaundiced eye. Customers may not realize that the dealership makes more money at a higher interest rate, the agencies say.
It's not completely an open season on consumers. In today's competitive climate, dealerships can't raise the rate too high without losing the deal. Also, many lenders have a ceiling on how much stores can mark up the rate.
Still, some consumer advocates insist that dealerships should have to disclose precisely how much they make on each loan.
A flat fee can be a token payment from a direct lender, such as credit union. And captive finance companies sometimes pay flat fees on subvented loans, in which there's no opportunity to mark up the rate. Markey said his dealership has arrangements with banks to pay "large flat fees" instead of dealer reserve.
Markey said he's really not advocating anything too radical. He said flat fees should be large enough to average out around the same as the average dealer reserve. For example, he said, around $600 instead of the more typical $250. "I don't think a spread [on the interest rate] does anybody any good," he said.
Still, Markey acknowledges that most dealers likely would disagree.
He's probably right.

Lanny needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 125 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
The task is to design the left column a framed web application. This area is a user interface consisting of 2 vertical frames. The design should utilize visually appealing techniques where possible, while at the same time be easy to read and optimized for usability. In the brief are links to a sample layout as well as styles that look good to me.
The application is a split-screen design – this contest is only concerned with the left portion, upper and lower. Below is a link to a photograph of paper mockups of the two frames to be designed. These are given only to show functionality. It is left to the designer to determine the style and alignment. From the picture, you will see that the left hand area is approximately 1/3 or 1/4 the size of the screen:
Here is another photograph showing sketches of the four tabs and what each contains, as well as two versions of the details frame.
Also, here is an example of what is contained in the right hand frame, though it is not part of this contest:
Preferred Styles
The Site tab has a larger, colorized "Go" button. This button needs to be something special. I would like to see something glossy, metallic, or glass, with a shiny chrome rim or something along those lines. Here are two links to buttons similar to what I am looking for:
For the interface, I like the look of the Apple OSX dialogs such as here:
For the buttons, I like Web 2.0 and 3D icons as well as the glass look, such as here:
You can submit only the "Site" tab with the "equipment details" frame to give me an idea of what you have. It if looks good I will request the remaining 4 frames, which will need to be designed prior to awarding the prize. After the prize has been awarded, I will need all 6 frames delivered in layered .psd format.
- Mac OSX look
- High-end, polished look
- text areas should be black-on-white
- Icons for the buttons
- Gaming look
- Hard to read

Ok, I'm assuming we are talking EXCESSIVELY loaded back and unloaded feet here, because my feet are equally loaded only on a reach . Going upwind my back foot is more loaded but not uncomfortably so and my front one unloaded fingers curling and pulling upwind with slightly turned forwards leg. I'm actually kind of confused you don't do that on your slalom boards.
Anyway can you give us more detailed explanation where exactly you place your boom /chest, shoulders, chin, other?/ and where your mastfoot in cm. from the tail is. Because otherwise we are just guessing and we may be guessing it wrong.

You've said a couple of things which make me suspect you may be underpowered on the smaller boards, including, "Can't go upwind" and "off the groove kills the fun". With plenty of power, pointing gets easier and sailing far off the wind becomes not only easier but way more fun than beam reaching overpowered. Wavy boards require more power than racier boards when relying on wind (as in B&J) rather than gravity (as on waves and swell).

Again, though, I have to ask: why do you want to force your freestyle board to behave like a slalom board when it was engineered to behave opposite of that?
I understand freeride wont match slalom, however the difference in my case seems too much.
I do worry about looseness, however I also want to tune reasonably for upwind. Sort of find the balance.
boom - shoulder high
mast foot from tail - about 131cm
board is naish koncept 110
I usually sail on it is naish sprint 6.6 in 20-25mph wind
fin 44cm (it's actually quite large for the sail size, my early attempt to improve upwind)

Oh, we are talking different game here. More FSW then Freeride . Your boom, mastfoot settings look good, on the other hand you are using very big fin . I think this board comes with a 28 and 36 cm fins. This may be the reason for your back foot load. Try it with smaller fin and single back strap and inboard front ones. It feels very different then slalom board stance because you have to be very upright and not loading your back foot at all otherwise the tail spins. For going better upwind you'll have to press the windward rail a bit more in the water to compensate for the fin. Very different then slalom right? Thats because they are supposed to do much more then straight line blasting.
I still curl up my front foot toes / slalom habit/, but I'm carefull not to put much weight on the back foot. Oh and make the straps wider than usuall and put your back foot as much over the centrer line as possible.
Harness lines around 28" should be fine not to get unhooked accidentally. In rough conditions push your ass down and out instead of leaning back. It will take some time to get used to this stance and in the end you may love it or hate it-hope its the first one becouse it opens the door for more fun stuff.
Btw why did you get such a big size? Are you a very big guy?

Does the setup feel perfect while riding square to the wind?
If the board wants more to go downind, you need to exert extra effort to put he sail Center of Effort back. To achieve that, you are bringing your body back on the board and this weight your back foot. If you are uncomfortable, you could move the straps back a bit.
Another way to bring the sail CE back is to move the mast foot forward, without changing your boom height, or even by lowering it. Moving the mast foot forward also bring the board nose down, getting the rails to bite a bit more.

Yep, going with the large fin was my solution for spinouts. I also thought that larger fin would help pointing as a side effect. So actually it induced wrong stance with which I'm fighting now.
I'll try moving mast 1cm forward, smaller fin and more pressure on windward rail for upwind.
Thank you guys!
I'll report back on how this works

No no...
More pressure on the LEEward rail to go upwind.
Pressure on the windward rails points upwind, then immediately stalls out.

OMG I've found an intuition article from Guy Cribb that exactly describes your case! Here is the quote: "When using a big fin, your weight should feel like its all on the back foot and actually lifting with the front foot" and yes bank WINDWARD. Hey, we are talking FSW boards here , not slalom or longboards! Just don't overdue it. The truth is in moderation-somebody said.
Don't move the mast foot forward if the nose doesn't lift too much, it will only make it more difficult to go upwind.
Here is the article:
When you go sailing next time and set the board with single back strap try riding a wave or if you live like me in a waveless place ride something that resembles a wave-like the face of a steep chop and I promise you: you'll get hooked!

As in every case in every sport, you can go bigger up to a point, then you pass that point, and you start to regress in your gains.
If you fin surpasses the width of your tail OFO, you come close to that point.

you might also try leaving a little more draft in the sail to gain some mast foot pressure/front foot pressure(and a smaller fin).
