Amy- You have made SUCH headway. I can't believe how far you have come in such a short time. Everything is looking so crisp and clean and almost ready for "dressing". I hope your bro comes back to help you on Saturday. It does make it move along faster when you have help. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and get a ton done.
I am one of those weird people that does NOT mind going to a restaurant and eating alone....but it is nice to have company, too.
Can't wait to see your exterior signage. xo Diana - April 18, 2012 at 8:00 PM

The school recognizes that students achieve their best when they feel safe, nurtured, welcomed, engaged, respected and included. We are committed to providing a healthy learning and working environment to support student success by promoting responsibility, respect, civility, academic excellence and good citizenship. For learning to be successful, schools must be free of negative factors such as bullying, discrimination, intimidation, hateful words and actions, as well as physical violence in any form.
In the Peel board, we understand that equity and excellence go hand-in-hand. One of the core goals in our strategic plan, the Report Card for Student Success, is the following:
"Achieve equity for students and staff—we provide equity of access and opportunity for students and staff to learn, work and develop in an environment that is nurturing, engaging, respectful and inclusive." One of the Peel board's projects is the implementation of six core character attributes. The attributes are taught in school, but they are also the basis of the board's working relationships—they help to create a positive climate for learning and working.
We believe that parents, the school and community must work together to help students learn to become responsible members of society by being sensitive to the diversity, cultural and special needs of individual students. We must clearly demonstrate respect for social justice and human rights, and promote the values needed to develop responsible members of a democratic society.
Our Code of Conduct aligns with and supports Ontario's Equity and Inclusive Education Strategy, the Peel board's Equity and Inclusive Education Policy.
The school's Code of Conduct applies to all members of the school community including students, parents and guardians, volunteers and school staff, whether they are on school property, on school buses, at school-authorized events or activities, or in any other situation that may impact the school climate.
All members of the school community have a responsibility to behave appropriately, take responsibility for their own actions, and respect and honour the school Code of Conduct.
We are teaching students to identify bullying behaviour and giving them strategies to respond to it and stop it from happening.
Bullying is typically a form of repeated, persistent and aggressive behaviour directed at another person that is intended to cause (or should be known to cause) fear, distress and/or harm to that person's body, feelings, self-esteem or reputation. Bullying occurs when there is a real or perceived imbalance of power.
When someone experiences or observes bullying behaviour, he/she is expected to report it to a teacher, teaching assistant or school administrator immediately. Bullying behaviour will be dealt with using a progressive discipline approach.
The school encourages, supports and recognizes acceptable behaviour in our students through a variety of positive practices. Progressive discipline is an approach that makes use of a continuum of interventions, supports and consequences, building upon strategies which promote positive behaviours.
We encourage students to take responsibility for their behaviour and to accept the consequences of their actions. A progressive discipline approach will be used to deal with inappropriate behaviour. This may include: oral reminders, review of expectations, contact with parent(s)/guardian(s), written reflection, volunteer services in the school community, conflict mediation and resolution, peer mentoring, and/or referral for support services.
We recognize that each student is a unique individual and that every situation that requires disciplinary action has its own set of extenuating circumstances. All factors that may have affected the student's behaviour will be considered before progressive discipline is applied. Students who behave inappropriately will receive an age and developmentally appropriate consequence. For a student with special education or disability-related needs, all progressive discipline approaches will be consistent with his/her Individual Education Plan and his/her demonstrated abilities
The school also supports the use of suspension and expulsion for serious incidents as outlined in the Peel District School Board's Safe Schools Policy.
Before considering whether to impose a suspension or make a recommendation for an expulsion, a principal must consider mitigating and other factors.
Students who are suspended or expelled will be given an opportunity to continue their education through educational programs offered by the school board.
The school recognizes the benefits of a smoke-free environment to all persons. By law, smoking is not permitted at the school, on board property, on school buses or while attending any school-related activity. School property includes cars that are on school grounds and all lands to the edge of the street. The no smoking rule will be enforced within these areas.
Providing tobacco products to anyone under 19 years of age is illegal.
Alcohol and restricted drugs may be addictive and represent a health hazard. Possessing, using, trafficking in, or providing others with restricted drugs and/or alcohol will not be condoned at the school, on Peel board property or at any school-related event or activity at any time. Lighters and drug-related paraphernalia that can be used for substance abuse are not permitted on school property.
Possessing or displaying weapons of any kind, including real, toy or replica, and all other objects that could inflict or threaten bodily harm will not be condoned at the school, on any Peel board property or at any school-related event or activity at any time.
The standards for dress at the school are based on common sense and are intended to support the comfort, safety and modesty of all students. There is a strong relationship between neat, clean and appropriate clothing and a positive learning environment.
Students will demonstrate appropriate online conduct and manners and refrain from improper/unethical use of technology, including computer hacking and cyber-bullying. The Internet must not be used for any purpose that violates the school's Code of Conduct and/or the board's Appropriate Use of Technology Policy #78. This applies to school, work and home Internet use.
Cell phones may not be used for any communication or for taking photographs unless permission is granted by a school official.
Posting photographs or images on the Internet (including social networking sites) without adult permission violates the school and board Codes of Conduct.
Students are expected to follow the standards of behaviour outlined in the Code of Conduct while they are on the school bus.

Marrickville Environment Committee
In September 2010, Council unanimously supported a motion to establish the Marrickville Environment Committee.
The Marrickville Environment Committee held its first meeting in December 2010 following the nomination of eleven (11) community members.
The community members bring with them a wealth of knowledge and diverse perspectives. The current committee members come from a variety of professional backgrounds including teaching, engineering, landscaping, marketing, and construction, and have interests in the areas of green equity, biodiversity conservation, improving streetscapes, community gardening and strategic water management.
Membership of the Marrickville Environment Committee is determined every two years. Council calls for membership in September every second year from individuals in the community. The nominations will be reviewed, and in November the new Committee members are announced.
Membership of the Marrickville Environment Committee can consist of up to twelve (12) individuals from the community, at least two (2) nominated Councillors, and three (3) Council Officers - (the Manager Environmental Services, Environmental Services Coordinator, Manager Infrastructure Planning).
Committee meetings are held quarterly, with the first meeting of the year held in February.
The purpose of the Marrickville Environment Committee is to work with the community and Council on improving the environment for the Marrickville local government area (LGA).
The Committee will achieve this by:
- working together on the development of relevant environmental strategies and plans; and
- communicating to Council and the community and raising awareness about, the importance of sustainability to the quality of life for citizens.
The Committee will be guided by the vision and key outcomes in the Marrickville Community Strategic Plan 2021 which were developed in collaboration with the community over 2010. In particular, the Committee will contribute to the following outcomes:
- The community is responding to climate change and actively reducing greenhouse gas emissions;
- Marrickville's streets, lanes and public spaces are sustainable, welcoming, accessible and clean;
- Marrickville has thriving natural habitats;
- Marrickville is a water sensitive city;
- The community is working towards zero waste; and
- The community is active in finding creative solutions to complex urban sustainability issues;
The role of the Marrickville Environment Committee is to provide support and advice and make recommendations to Council for decisions affecting the environment of the Marrickville local government area. It will:
- provide input at the early stages of strategy development to ensure that strategies are environmentally and socially sustainable;
- advise on the development and implementation of Council's environmental programs, projects and initiatives and assess their integration with Council's other programs and works;
- advise Council on issues relating to the environment and be proactive in making recommendations for motions to be put to Council;
- facilitate on-going, constructive dialogue between Council and the community and be a forum for information exchange and sharing innovative ideas;
- identify issues and opportunities to see change to improve the environment;
- represent the diverse needs of the community and provide grassroots perspectives at high-level planning stages;
- promote an increased knowledge and understanding of environmental issues in the local community; and
- support collaboration and learning, and promote empowerment within, and partnerships between Council and, the community.

New Zealand head coach Steve Hansen had mixed emotions after the 33-10 victory over Wales in Cardiff.
The All Blacks silenced the Millennium Stadium with a clinical first half that saw them move 23-0 ahead, and only the sin-binning of Cory Jane provided the hosts with any momentum whatsoever.
But Hansen believes better will be required when he takes his side to face England at Twickenham next weekend.
"We put them under a lot of pressure but then of course got Cory (Jane) in the sin-bin (for a deliberate knock-on) and we lost our control and shape for some time - which allowed them to come running back at us," he said.
"But we can't afford to get ahead of ourselves and if we don't prepare in genuine fashion England will give us a thumping next week. However, we'll enjoy this success and start again on Monday."
Hansen was coy on an ugly incident involving his hooker Andrew Hore early on in the clash.
Citing commissioner Mike Rafter is expected to take action after the visiting hooker aimed a punch at Bradley Davies from behind - forcing the lock out of the game.
"I haven't seen it so I'm not going to get too carried away - but I saw him hooking Bradley Davies out of the way. How he did it we'll have to look at on the video," said Hansen.
Captain and flanker Richie McCaw, man-of-the-match after another dominant display at the breakdown, credited Wales with not buckling.
"They fronted up. It was a good physical battle and one of the more physical I've been involved in for a while," he said.
"They stuck to their guns, but we didn't help by giving them some ball to attack with.
"But to win by 23 points in a place like this is a great result."
McCaw will lead his side, on a 20-match unbeaten streak, against England next weekend before stepping down from international rugby for a six-month sabbatical.
"It'll be my last game until the middle of next year," he said. "Physically it's not so much a problem, but I need to freshen up because I've been on the treadmill a bit.
"When I get back I'll carry on playing as long as I can."

- Item#: SNV5484
Be the first to review this product
Lettuce - Garden Mix - Lactuca sativa
Hardy Annual A mix of equal parts of Silvia, a red romaine, Flame, a red loose leaf type, Great Lakes, a green iceberg, and Merveille de 4 Seasons, a bi-color butterhead lettuce. The seeds are not color coded.
Soil and Water: Likes full sun. In the summer it prefers some shade, especially in the afternoon. Add plenty of compost to the soil to encourage rapid growth. Water evenly and moderately to prevent bitterness. Liquid fertilizer is not recommended as concentrations tend to affect the taste of the leaves
Planting and Growing: Start seeds indoors 4 weeks before transplanting outside, or sow seed directly as soon as the soil is workable. Make successive plantings every 10-14 days for a continuous harvest. In mild climates, lettuce can be sown from spring through fall.
Harvesting and Storage: Harvest the entire plant when mature, but still young and crisp. All lettuces are at their best when picked as needed and used immediately. Head lettuce will only last a few days in the refrigerator before deteriorating.
Did You Know? The botanical name means 'milk sap'. Lettuce belongs to the sunflower family. Darker green leaves are healthier than lighter leaves.

LEON — According to its theme song, the Red Solo Cup has been filled up on many occasions with many libations but this week, 48 of them were allegedly found filled with marijuana plants.
Steven R. Trent, 37, Leon, was arrested and charged with manufacturing a controlled substance (marijuana) on Tuesday after personnel with the Mason County Sheriff's Department allegedly found pot plants on Trent's property at 4031 Bud Chattin Rd.
According to the official complaint filed in Mason County Magistrate Court, personnel with the sheriff's department gained permission to search the property from Trent. The complaint says Trent led law enforcement to a partial building which had a box style shelf on the back of it. On this shelf is where the sheriff's department personnel said he observed 48 Red Solo Cups with each cup containing an alleged marijuana plant with potting soil and miracle grow fertilizer, again according to the complaint.
Trent was arraigned before Mason County Magistrate Cheryl Miller Ross who set his bond at $25,000. The case has been assigned to Magistrate Gail Roush for the preliminary hearing.

Parishioners of St. Paul's Episcopal Church continued their enthusiastic participation in the Picayune Street Fair last weekend. Members of the church, located at 1421 Goodyear Blvd., worked together to create a raffle basket containing items valued at more than $800.00. Booth workers sold raffle tickets and distributed St. Paul's brochures and commemorative bookmarks.
The lucky raffle winner was Megan Rau of Carriere who proclaimed that she "has never won anything." But the real winners are the children who will receive scholarships to the GPAC Summer Art Camp to be purchased with the raffle proceeds.
St. Paul's members are busy planning their next project, the Civic Women's Club of Picayune Pilgrimage on Saturday, Dec. 3. At that time St. Paul's will welcome visitors to the beautifully decorated church.
St. Paul's also hosts an annual Children's Music Festival celebrating music education and featuring Picayune Elementary School singers.
Holy Eucharist is celebrated each Sunday at 10 a.m. Guests are always welcome at St. Paul's, where "families meet friends, and friends become family."

St. Louis Red-Light Safety Cameras Changing Driver Behavior
ST. LOUIS, MO – A new analysis of the City of St. Louis' violator-funded red-light safety camera program shows drivers are adopting safer driving habits by pressing on the brake at red lights instead of stomping on the gas. As drivers comply with the law, the risk of dangerous red-light running collisions is reduced, and streets become safer for drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists.
The study reviewed nearly 350,000 red-light running violations issued in the city from the time the program began in February 2007 through August 2012 and found nearly four out of every five drivers (nearly 80 percent) who received one ticket did not get a second. Only 15 percent of drivers received two violations. This low rate of recidivism indicates drivers are getting the message authorities are sending through red-light safety cameras.
So far in the program's lifetime, the number of red-light running violations has decreased on average 55 percent at all locations, with reductions as high as 87 percent at some of the locations where cameras were first installed.
Red light safety cameras allow the police to expand their ability to enforce traffic laws over a wider area while focusing their efforts on more violent crimes. Red-light safety camera video has also provided evidence to help investigate non-traffic related crimes. The program analysis found that the St. Louis Police Department requested video from red-light cameras on more than 70 occasions to help with the investigation of carjackings, attempted rape, shooting, robberies, homicides and simple accident reconstruction. Video from the red light cameras also helped in the investigation of the hit and run driver who killed St. Louis City Police Officer David Haynes in 2010. The requests are also referenced in police reports and entered into evidence to satisfy conflicting testimony.
St. Louis also receives economic benefits from red-light cameras. The program is 100% funded by violators and not taxpayers. Every traffic crash exacts a financial cost on families, vehicles owners and the community at large. With every averted traffic crash, a community realizes a savings in medical costs, emergency services expenses and other costs. According to a 2012 study by John Dunham and Associates, the use of one red-light safety camera in St. Louis saves the community an average of $174,422 annually as a result of fewer traffic crashes.
ATS' study results are not unique to St. Louis. Independent studies have gone further and quantified the number of lives saved and crashes avoided. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in 2011 found 14 cities with red-light cameras experienced a 24 percent reduction in red-light running fatalities. Also that year, a Texas Transportation Institute study found right-angle crashes – the most life-threatening type of red-light running collisions – decreased 32 percent at intersections with red-light safety cameras.
About American Traffic Solutions:
ATS is proud to be the market leader in road safety camera installations in North America. ATS has more than 3,000 installed red-light and speed safety cameras serving more than 30 million people. ATS has contracts in nearly 300 communities in 21 states and Washington, D.C., including: Fort Worth, Kansas City, Memphis, Nassau County (N.Y.), New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Seattle and St. Louis.

Some locations like Arnold enjoyed a precipitous 80% reduction in red light violations almost overnight! It wasn't due to the cameras though, it was due to the fact that the yellow light times were lengthened. Is the above letter a paid advertisement? It looks strangely like the email I received today! Red light cameras do nothing to increase safety or prevent red light violations. Most red light violations are committed by people who are impaired or distracted, a camera cannot fix that.
Dennis Smith
10:47 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
I would imagine that those violations will go back up as people get accustomed to the longer yellow lights. After all, running a yellow light isn't illegal, so people like to push the boundaries. I would think that instead of lengthening the time of yellow lights, they should simply lengthen the time before the next set of lights turn green. There would be a half second or so of all red lights instead of a half second extra of yellow. People will try to beat a red light by not stopping on the yellow, but are less likely to just blow through it once it has already turned red.
Doris Borgelt
11:49 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
That is precisely what was done, when the yellow lights were extended so were the all red periods. That does make the intersection much safer. You must also take into consideration that the people that usually run the red light are not doing it on purpose. They are either distracted or driving impaired, that will not be remedied by an intersection with a camera.
Dennis Smith
12:34 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
I didn't notice any delay in the lights turning green after all lights are red. Only a much longer yellow light.
I drive through quite a lot of red light cameras to-from work in Arnold, on Manchester, Brentwood Blvd, etc. and nearly every case I've seen of people running the lights are due to them just trying to beat the red. They floor it during the yellow, trying to get past the intersection in time. I would, however, say that nearly all accidents caused by running the red lights are due to distractions, though, since they would be blowing through the red at a much later time.
Also, why doesn't Arnold have those nice big signs up on the lights like they do on Manchester and Brentwood Blvd? Seems like the big signs that state "Red LIghts Photo Enforced" would cause people who are not familiar with the area to think twice before beating the red. Not sure how many people see the small, photo enforced sign way to the right of the intersection, especially a large, multilane intersection like Richardson Rd/Vogel. I think it is things like this that give the impression that it is about money, not safety.
10:36 pm on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
It will be interesting to see the KMOV channel 4 investigation. It is supposed to air 10/25/2012 during the 10pm news. I dislike the cameras. Many other options could be used to solve/reduce some of the incidents but they wouldn't generate revenue for the municipality.
If we are doing it for safety. Let's make it law they have to be at every intersection in all directions. They are sssoooo concerned about my safety! But, I guess they don't care enough.

Hi Doris, Thanks for your comment. I just wanted everyone to know that the item you're talking about is an announcement, as it said at the top of the page, and not a reported piece of journalism. I know many Patch editors here in St. Louis, myself included, have done our own reporting on the controversy surrounding red light cameras. I hope this clears up any confusion.

12:26 pm on Friday, October 26, 2012
DORIS - YOU ARE CORRECT ! ! ! This is nothing more than a press release and the company, ATS, is a direct beneficiary of the funds that the cameras generate. NOTE THAT YOU ATS WILL NOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH MONEY THE SUCK OUT OF ST. LOUIS AS A RESULT OF THEIR CAMERAS. THIS IS SUCH CRAP AND IT AMAZES ME THAT THE PATCH NETWORK RUNS THIS GARBAGE --- AS PATCH READERS ARE SEEING THAT THEIR REALLY IN "NO EDITING" GOING ON......case in point, look at Sabrina Robb's "article" promoting her real estate listings -- presented as a story but nothing more than an advertisement. (the patch is quickly losing readers...well, at least the few that it had...)

I like the idea of speed camera lotteries better (although I still dislike the cameras). In this example, some people who are obeying the speed limit get to win some money!
(warning - funded by VW, but still a great idea)
Bonnie Krueger
5:04 pm on Friday, October 26, 2012
I guess I don't understand the controversy around the use of cameras. If drivers are obeying the lights, then the use of them does not impact you. if someone violates them, they pay. If it keeps them from violating them, then as a driver, you are a safer defensive driver. As a blogger on Patch, more power to Patch to give everyone a voice. Even if others don't agree on the content.
7:46 pm on Friday, October 26, 2012
I guess you don't understand then that some communities shorten the yellow light in order to catch people who otherwise wouldn't have run the red light. Or, that many people feel the cameras contribute to more accidents as drivers slam on the brakes to avoid them. Most people view the cameras not as a safety tool, but a revenue source during tough times. Hopefully, now you will understand the other side.
8:27 am on Friday, November 16, 2012
@ Ms. Krueger: It would be nice if the camera technology was a simple as you think, but your argument is flawed. I can drive through all of the red light camera intersections perfectly and still be cited for violating the law if someone was photographed in a car that I own OR if someone at ATS simply thinks it's my license plate.
This entire PR piece is rooted in fallacy. ATS can't comment on driver behavior because their cameras don't send citations to drivers. They are sent to owners. My vehicle that I have driven daily for nine years has had three different Missouri license plates. To the cameras that will look like three different drivers. And two different people driving the same car will look like one driver to their technology. Any data they purport to have is only half true, but that is right in line with their business model, so I'm not surprised.
If there is a true problem with people running red lights, your municipal officials should diagnose the problem and have engineers address the issue. It should not be a situation where a multi-million dollar company has to go before the council and make a sales pitch so that they are adding "clients" and increasing profits. Entrusting public safety to cameras is a poor solution to traffic issues and demonstrates a severe lack of critical thinking by local governments.

Martin McGowan insisted on going to high school baseball tryouts, despite his mother's worries he wasn't feeling well.
After the tryouts, the 15-year-old complained of leg pain and seemed exhausted. He woke up and vomited during the night, Diane McGowan recalled. She gave him medicine for his fever, and he returned to bed, only to wake again, vomiting and complaining of leg pain.
At the emergency room, doctors diagnosed Martin with the flu, and said his leg pain was due to "compartment syndrome," Diane McGowan said.
"Because the muscle has no room between the skin and the bone, it causes pressure on the arteries and veins with your bone, and can eventually cut off the circulation," she said. "So if they had not taken him into surgery ... they might have had to amputate his legs."
But no one was prepared for what happened next -- Martin died on the operating table that day in 2005.
"What I later found out is that the flu attacks the muscles, and that's why you feel achy when you get the flu," his mother said.
"Because he was so healthy, and because of the exertion he had done the night before, it (the influenza) went thru his system quicker than it would go through a normal child. ... The heart is a muscle, and his heart gave out on the table."
While Martin's complication was uncommon, influenza can produce complications that result in death, including pneumonia, bacterial infection, acute respiratory failure, and encephalitis, even in otherwise healthy children.
His death has been motivation for his mother to work toward preventing such deaths in other children.
At the time, Diane McGowan noted, it wasn't recommended that children Martin's age get the flu vaccine -- something she worked to change, lobbying the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to increase flu immunization requirements for children and teens.

Please be advised that NBC Universal and/or its subsidiary and affiliated
companies (collectively, NBC Universal) are the owners of exclusive rights
protected under copyright law and other intellectual property rights in
many motion pictures and television programs, including the title(s)
listed below (the NBC Universal Properties). NBC Universal diligently
enforces its rights in its motion pictures.
It has come to our attention that Optimum Online (Cablevision Systems) is

It's simple; You, or someone with access to your computer downloaded two movies over the eDonkey network, which were copyrighted by NBC/Universal. As the files were being downloaded, your copy of eMule automatically made parts of the file available to others who were downloading the same movies. Since file sharing software transfers the files directly between individual users, it needs to know the IP addresses of the people who are sharing the files so it can connect directly to them. Someone representing NBC/Universal simply used a modified eDonkey client to perform a search for those movies and log the IP addresses of every source it found. They then performed a WhoIs search on the IP address to see which ISP it was registered to, and fired off a form letter to their DMCA contact address.
holycrip, on Jan 5 2008, 09:37 AM, said:
So far, I haven't seen a lot of reports of movie studios suing people, unlike the RIAA. I notice that there's no mention of them requesting that your personal information (name, address, etc) be turned over to them, so at this point, it looks like they'd rather let Optimum handle it rather than go to the trouble of suing you. The studios don't seem all that eager to gain the same bad reputation that the music industry currently has. Don't get me wrong, they're not at all ok with people sharing their movies online, they'd just rather avoid all the negative PR that would go along with suing a lot of people. At least for now...
Under current US laws, once an ISP has been informed that one of its users is committing copyright infringment, they are required to take steps to stop it. If they don't, the copyright holder can hold them liable for allowing it to continue. If the user stops sharing the file(s) in question, but is later caught sharing other copyrighted files, they are a repeat infringer and under the law, the ISP can be held liable unless they terminate that user's account. Also, if the same person is caught again, the studio may decide that they need to be taught a lesson and sue them.
holycrip, on Jan 5 2008, 09:37 AM, said:
If by "beat it" you mean how to avoid getting in legal trouble for this particular offense, my *OPINION*, which could very well be 100% wrong, is that if you stop sharing those files and/or anything else created by NBC/Universal, then probably nothing more will come of this. This time.
If you mean how can you avoid this happening again in the future while still using eMule to download copyrighted content, well... You can't. Anytime you download something, eMule (and every other file sharing program) automatically uploads it as well, making you a potential target for the media companies. You can try using a blocklist, but they'll never be completely effective (some even claim they're useless). You can also try using an anonymous proxy server, but it'll be hard to find a good one that will work and eMule's performance will suffer because of it.

Anyway, my eMule server is offline until it can be purged of possibly infringing material. I have a question regarding where to draw the line regarding infringing material. Are the following examples considered allowable?
- movie trailers that are freely available for download
- video game trailers that are freely available for download
- software drivers / patches that aren't being sold
Here's the proposed rationale. Assuming the trailers, drivers and patches are copyrighted, they aren't being sold if they're on my server. It seems pretty common to freely distribute marketing material (trailers). Fair use?
I'm especially curious about software patches. I recently was researching a problem with my AV receiver. I received new firmware free via direct email with the manufacturer's tech support. The firmware isn't available for download on their site but seems to be in heavy demand from users with similar problems. Is it okay to post the updated firmware even if it isn't available on the mfg website?

- if you need movie , there's a bunch of watch movie online site (free)
- if you need software , there's alot of open source software (free)
- if you need games , there's alot multi player game offer free to play on net . if you really those that not free , just buy it .
Posted 04 March 2008 - 02:17 AM
- video game trailers that are freely available for download
- software drivers / patches that aren't being sold
No, you are not allowed to unless you have the permission of the producer. In general they won't care if you spread their merchandising stuff, but by law you can only do so if they offer it under a license which allows it.
- if you need software , there's alot of open source software (free)
- if you need games , there's alot multi player game offer free to play on net
And most things you can get legally free from such websites, you can also get from eMule. Thats the point, making public stuff available and saving bandwidth for the publisher. Of course in some cases other alternatives for are more vaible for the user.

Some Support, on Mar 3 2008, 08:17 PM, said:
So this is what I want to challenge, figuratively speaking. Even if the license says one is not allowed to copy and redistribute, if the producer doesn't attempt to enforce no redistribute, is it still not allowed? I.e. by allowing some copying (free download of a usable distribution), isn't the copyright holder giving up some of those rights?
Part of what I'm struggling with is the value of P2P networks. I like the idea of a flexible-mesh network that allows tons of mass storage and bandwidth. But if there's no content then who cares?
Posted 05 March 2008 - 01:23 PM
Yes. Not enforcing something doesn't menas it is legal, it jsut means you get away with it And yes, this is quite restrictive in the degital age, but anyway there are lots of licenses which do allow such publishing like nearly all material published under a Creative Commons License, Public Domain (this includes coyprighted material which protection has expired), most Open Source licenses and of course your own works too.

lets say you actually own a copyrighted video game. you can prove that you've bought it legally. but then you've scratched the cd, making it unusable, and downloaded it from emule or something.
will riaa sue you (given that you can prove you've bought it)? if so does the fact that you actually paid for it act as a mitigating circumstance?

riaa sue you not because you download . but because you upload you break distribution laws .
you don't need any rights for download but you need license for upload . upload is consider as distribution . just google around for all letter of infringement that people post on net , read the contents and you will notice this .
if you download through http/ftp , no one will come to you . since only these method allow you to download only .

Your isp don't care. It is the British Phonographic Industry, which tells isps who to cut. The BPI find file shares the same way file shares find each other, search on servers and kad. slyck.com has good coverage on those things.

There is an entire thread devoted to RIAA, MPAA stuff on the forum. It is the only place in the forum where stuff should be posted about copyright infringment, etc. I am surprised you missed it since its in the very same section you posted.
Your post will likely get moved there anyway, so why not take a look at the thread. Probably find some helpful information there.
File sharing is legal. Uploading copyright materials to other people is not.

The meeting of the two leaders comes at a critical time. At least 93,000 Syrians have already lost their lives in the conflict. Some eight million Syrians are in need of aid and over 1.6 million have fled to neighbouring countries, triggering the largest appeal for humanitarian assistance in UN history.
The United States and Russia have expressed their support for a political process to put an end to the conflict but the Geneva peace conference announced by both countries in early May is yet to be scheduled.
"The leaders of the G8 countries are at a fork in the road. Instead of fanning the flames of the conflict by sending more weapons into Syria, the leaders should prioritize the pursuit of a political solution. The transfer of all arms and ammunition to Syria - whether to opposition forces or the government - must be immediately stopped," said Raymond C. Offenheiser, President of Oxfam America.
"The Syria crisis is the biggest humanitarian emergency in the world. The fighting has taken a devastating toll on Syrian people. The promised Geneva peace conference offers an important glimmer of hope on the diplomatic horizon to end the suffering. We cannot let it slip away. Millions of Syrians have been failed for too long by a divided international community."
The international aid community is struggling to keep up with the humanitarian consequences of the conflict with the current UN appeals just 28 percent funded. Oxfam is calling on Presidents Obama and Putin to also help improve humanitarian access by using their influence on the Syrian Government and opposition groups to ensure aid reaches those most in need.
"Aid organizations are already struggling to cope with the huge demand but there are millions more people out of reach. Further intervention from Presidents Obama and Putin will help ensure that all those affected by the crisis can get the aid they so desperately need," said Offenheiser.
While Presidents Obama and Putin have pledged to ensure full participation at the peace conference from all sides of the conflict, Oxfam is calling for representatives of the refugee community, women's groups, and other non-military, independent civil society voices to be also included.
Oxfam is working in Syria through local organizations and working in Lebanon and Jordan helping Syrian refugees. It is aiming to help 650,000 people in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria in the next 12 months.
]]>Today's European Parliament vote follows a political agreement reached between the European Parliament, EU Member States and the European Commission in April after months of negotiations to include the payment disclosure provisions in revised Transparency and Accounting Directives.
"The transparency net has been cast even wider today, covering the vast majority of internationally operating oil companies and world's largest mining companies," said Ian Gary, senior policy manager of Oxfam America's oil, gas and mining program. "This is a huge victory for citizens living in resource rich countries as well as investors who have a right know this information. We applaud Europe's leaders and Members of the European Parliament for not caving under oil industry lobbying efforts to water down the rules."
Similar to the bipartisan "Cardin-Lugar" provision or Section 1504 of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act, the European directives require both public and large privately-held companies to disclose their payments. In addition, the requirements extend to the logging industry. As in the US, companies will be required to disclose payments, such as taxes and royalties, above 100,000 Euros for individual projects ($100,000 in the US) in every country of operation. The vote further undermines oil company arguments in US courts against the US disclosure provision.
The vote comes on the eve of the G8 Summit June 17-18 hosted by the United Kingdom, where transparency in the "extractive industries" is a major plank of the host government's agenda. The UK and French governments have been strong backers of the EU oil and mining disclosure provisions and have pledged to quickly enact the requirement in their national contexts. Member states have two years to incorporate the directives into their national legal frameworks.
"While the world is moving toward greater transparency, the oil industry seems determined to keep their heads in the sand, and fight against it as long as possible," continued Gary.
In the US ,the American Petroleum Institute (API), an industry lobby group, filed a lawsuit against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last October in an attempt to overturn final rules promulgated by the regulatory agency last August. Oxfam has intervened in the lawsuit on the side of the SEC. The US Court of Appeals dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction in April and the case is now being heard in the District Court for the District of Columbia. Mining companies and their industry associations have not joined the oil industry lawsuit in the US and Norwegian oil giant and API member Statoil has explicitly withheld support for the suit.
Companies have alleged that they may be forced to violate local laws or abandon assets in countries that allegedly prohibit disclosure of these payments. As in the US, EU regulators and political leaders were not convinced of the existence of any host country prohibitions against disclosing this payment information. The EU directive and final SEC rule do not allow for any categorical exemptions to the payment disclosure requirements.
"Mandatory disclosures of oil, gas and mining payments to governments are now a global fact and industry giants such as Exxon, Chevron, BP and Shell need to drop their misguided support for this litigation," said Gary. "Now that the European Parliament has given final approval to payment disclosure rules, oil industry leaders should drop their support for this meritless attempt to stem the transparency tide."
With the US and EU laws in place, a global standard for mandatory oil, gas and mining payment disclosure has emerged. These laws cover 65 per cent of the value of the global extractives market, including most major internationally operating oil, gas and mining companies, as well as significant Chinese, Russian, Brazilian and other state-owned companies. These laws also complement the industry-backed Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), a voluntary initiative whose standards were revised this May to require project reporting that is consistent with the US and EU reporting regimes. Canada, Australia and other jurisdictions are considering adopting similar mandatory transparency requirements for their capital markets.
]]>Reema is a 12 year-old Syrian refugee who has fled to Lebanon with her family. This is a poem she wrote about her home country. She is happy for Oxfam to share her poems and was really pleased that so many people, around the world, knew her through Oxfam. Please share and spread the word about the children - who make up half of all Syrian refugees - that are in need of humanitarian aid during this terrible conflict.

Our hearts love you
How your children love you
How the memory would forget you
We will be back soon, to remove the tears on your cheeks
We will return one day to our mothers to kiss the soil and the flowers
Lovely Syria, we will be back soon.

]]>"We are witnessing the daily human wreckage of a country tearing itself apart. Our common humanity implores us to respond to the suffering of millions of Syrians caught up in an unremitting tragedy. Even in harsh economic times there can be no excuses for governments to shirk from their duty to dig deep and generously fund the aid effort. They cannot look the other way. This is the world's most pressing humanitarian crisis. The scale is staggering and getting worse. Syria's people have suffered enough, they cannot be allowed to pay the price of the world's failure to match their need," said Jane Cocking, Humanitarian Director, Oxfam.
Oxfam is working in Syria through local organizations and working in Lebanon and Jordan helping Syrian refugees. The organization has so far helped some 60,000 Syrians and has plans to help 650,000. Oxfam's global fundraising goal for this work is $53 million but so far, only $16million has been raised. Click here to support Oxfam's work to help Syrians in crisis.
While the United States was not among the first 60 countries to sign the treaty, US Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement that he welcomed the opening of the treaty for signature and looked forward to signing once the official translations of the text are completed satisfactorily.
In response, Raymond C. Offenheiser, president of Oxfam America, issued the following statement.
"This is a historic moment. For the first time in history, there is an arms trade treaty to regulate the global arms trade.
"The bloodshed caused by armed violence in countries like Syria and South Sudan has gone on too long. While we are disappointed that the United States is not among the first signatories, we are confident the US will sign the treaty as expeditiously as possible.
"The United States played a key role during the negotiations and deserves a lot of credit for its leadership on crafting a treaty that will help save millions of lives in the future. We know President Obama understands the importance of a swift US signature.
"As a humanitarian organization, we've seen firsthand the impact of the global arms trade on innocent men, women and children in places like Syria and South Sudan. The time is now for the United States to sign this treaty as swiftly as possible to stop dangerous weapons from reaching violent extremists and human rights abusers. There is no time left to wait."

a tool for getting sex. The exchanging of gifts has been around for thousands of years. It is more of a mating ritual than a practice of love. Gifts are given to hot girls next door/receptionists/co-workers/and even grandparents. Good places for gift giving include public pools/libraries/highscools/and garage sales (hosted by people who clearly don't want the gifts they've recieved in the past) Greg: "I can't get Sandy to have sexual intercourse with me...i've tried shoving my flesh stick into her face while it is long and hard but she just turns away" Fabio: "Give her a gift dude. Flowers, Chocolate or how about a romance novel featuring yourself? That one's worked for me everytime!"
