Good Morning and Happy Monday!
Another week has begun and here I am with a new Motivation Monday post. This week I am focusing on reminding myself and all of you a very simple thing: you got this.
"You got this" is a simple yet very powerful reminder, when you feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders just take a deep breath and remember "you got this". Find your inner strength, that inner drive and power that you need in order to get back on your feet and do what needs to be done. Trust me it's in there it just needs to be found.
Life is filled with days that make you think "that's it, I give up" and you wanna quit your job or walk away from your responsibilities, we all experience them and the way we react is what can define us. Instead of giving up and just walking away we can decide to say "I got this" and believe in ourselves, believe that we have the strength to overcome our troubles, believe we have the strength to push forward and find happiness.
No matter what life throws at you always remember: You got this.

The expression "sunny ways" was coined by Wilfred Laurier to spin the compromises his government had to fashion to hold an intolerant, very young country together. He was a careful builder, befitting his time. Justin Trudeau uses the same expression proudly, as an unqualified optimist.
Laurier, however, was a classic anti-authoritarian, small-government Liberal. He carried on nation-building infrastructure projects and honored the debts incurred by that binge conservative John A. Macdonald. Above all, he looked to trade an individual initiative to grow the economy.
Laurier is not the inspiration behind Justin Trudeau's fiscal policy.
The greatest contemporary practitioner of "sunny ways" was Ronald Reagan. He understood that lecturing tolerance and applying a traditional conservative fiscal policy wouldn't sustain his extraordinary popularity. And he liked being liked.
According to the Joint Economic Committee of the US Congress (1996), over his eight years in the White House, personal income tax revenues declined from 9.4% of GDP to 8.3% of GDP. US federal government spending and deficits, as his critics warned, soared.
Justin Trudeau has Reagan's nature, only with new demons to throw money at. Allegedly, he too has been underestimated all his professional life. As with Reagan, his critics are simply those who still don't get it. Reagan would shrug; Trudeau worries that they're "deranged."
So, as George H. W. Bush, a dogged evidence-based politician, complained about Reagan's sunny growth strategy in the 1980s Republican primaries, Canada now has a fiscal policy in place in Ottawa that can, as well, be called "voodoo economics."

I started a discussion on the nvidia dev talk forums. I hope it's ok if I redirect to the forum post instead of typing it all out again here. Here is the link https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi ... 13#5290775.
I have created a repository on gitlab that contains pictures, screenshots, debug reports and other useful output. This repository is public and is available in the following link.
https://gitlab.com/shanedora/dual_monit ... driver_410
I have really struggled here for a solid two weeks on getting my new PC build up and running with CentOS 7 specifically with two Asus DUAL GeForce RTX 2080 TI's. The main issue here is that I cannot get dual monitors to work with two RTX 2080TI's that are connected to my two monitors in the following physical setup...
Monitor_1 DisplayPort <----Cable----> GraphicsCard_1 DisplayPort
Monitor_2 DisplayPort <----Cable----> GraphicsCard_2 DisplayPort
Only one monitor is working in this case. The other monitor is just gray with a centos "7" logo on it. Running the nvidia-debug-report.sh script has created a log file indicating that in a Base Mosaic configuration the two graphic cards can't communicate with each other.

I've been able to install CentOS with the nouveau drivers, upgrade to the latest mainline kernel being 4.18, download the kernel-ml-devel, kernel-ml-headers from the elrepo.org repository release 7.0-3 and rebuild the 4.18 kernel with the correct NVIDIA Drivers (recommended for the 2080TI's) which are the latest drivers being 410.57. This entire process went very smoothly without any noticeable errors.
I realize the term "without noticeable errors" is ambiguous. So by it I simply mean error messages that would cause the installation to halt/fail or otherwise alert the user in some fashion that cannot be ignored.
I didn't receive any guidance or feedback from the nvidia team other than one random chap who was actually really helpful but eventually ran out of ideas and assumed it could be a bug in the driver . I reached out directly to the Nvidia support team and a ticket has been created. This just happened so I probably won't receive feedback until tomorrow or late tonight.
I've heard of people running these bleeding edge RTX 2080TI's with Linux which is why I would like to get some more exposure on this issue. This is why I wanted to post something here should someone else be in the same boat or may have a suggestion.

Available in two sizes, there's a Challenger Tackle Bag to suit your particular needs for shorter day trips and extended fishing excursions alike. Both versions have a padded shoulder strap for slinging it across your body when you're walking down to the water.
Rugged fabrics and water-resistant coatings withstand the abuse of tossing it in your truck's cab and laying it out on wet surfaces alongside the water. For organizational convenience, both bags accommodate Plano's 3700-size tackle boxes (not included). The large fits up to eight and the small accommodates three of these common tackle boxes. For sorting convenience, the transparent top lid allows you to spot what's packed inside and internal dividers make clutter a thing of the past.

CALGARY (Reuters) - Nine people have been killed in three related incidents in Edmonton in what police in the western Canadian city said was likely an act of domestic violence and the worst mass murder in nearly 60 years.
Eight people were killed, seven in one location and the eighth in another, police said, and a man linked to the crimes committed suicide in a nearby town.
Two of the victims were children while four women and two men were also dead in what Rod Knecht, the city's chief of police, called an act of domestic violence.
"This series of events are not believed to be random acts, and there is no risk to the broader public," Knecht said at a televised press conference. "These events do not appear to be gang related, but rather tragic incidents of domestic violence."
Police said the first victim, a woman, was found in a house in the city's southwest. Later in the evening they were called to another private home to check on a man who "seemed depressed and overly emotional," Knecht said.
The man was not found, however, and police returned to the house just after midnight to find seven bodies. Then, a vehicle linked to the crime was located 30 kilometres (19 miles) northeast of Edmonton, in Fort Saskatchewan, a town of 22,000, where the suspect killed himself in a restaurant, police said.
Mass killings are nearly unheard of in Edmonton, a city of 878,000 people which had 27 homicides in 2013. Knecht said the murders were the worst mass-killings in the city since at least 1956, when six people were murdered.
Edmonton is the capital of the province of Alberta, whose oil sands are the largest source of U.S. crude oil imports.
In April, five people were stabbed to death in nearby Calgary, Alberta in that city's worst mass murder.

Dance in the Vampire Bund 07February 23, 2010 at 2:26 AM | Posted in Anime, Episode, Overview | Leave a comment
Tags: Anime, dance in the vampire bund, shaft, vampire
Well, being the Shaft fanboy I am, I've been watching this show. The premise, of vampires outing themselves in order to establish a human-recognized society, seemed interesting enough. Of course, the economics of them paying off Japan's entire debt is a bit ridiculous – a sudden injection of that much money into an economy would most certainly lead to hyperinflation, which, even in the presence of real economic growth, would be a very bad thing. With no knowledge of the source material, I found the story to be a bit cryptic. There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that are only mentioned in brief. I've heard that the manga went deeper into the political intrigue, and I sometimes found myself wanting to see more of that.
I think the first episode deserves mention for its presentation as a regular TV feed. It felt familiar, somewhat reminiscent of the first episode of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, though not handled as well. Whereas that show's first episode, while being hilarious, instantly drew you in to the existing story, Dance in the Vampire Bund's first episode seemed nothing more than a gimmick, not doing anything to move forwards the storytelling.
Since then, I've continued to follow the series with my faith in Shaft as the only motivator, and it was only at episode 6 that I felt things were getting interesting. Really, it astounds me to think back just how little has happened until that point. The part that struck me was Akira's rebellion against Mina. It was nice to finally see some sort of central conflict come about, without dilly dallying about with little hints and character intros/appearances. The malice that had been brewing between vampires and humans were finally coming to a head. And given just how loyal Akira had been to Mina up to this point, the conflict was somewhat unexpected and exciting.
Episode 7 made good on this conflict, bringing about more action scenes, animated and directed surprisingly well for a Shaft production. The ending to it did leave me confused, though. If Mina was against all the violent/elitist vampires, why did she and Akira have to fight? Was it just some sort of abstract "fight because we agreed to fight (even if the agreement was made under a false premise)" thing?
And the way the episode ended of course felt like the end of a season. There are still questions to be answered, particularly regarding Mei Ran, the hard candy girl (VA: Kobayashi Yuu) who played a brief role in the fighting in this episode. I suppose episode 7 signifies the end of an arc, wherein Mina comes clean to Akira, who is now trusting and loyal to her.
Still, it makes me wonder where the show is going next, with 5 episodes left. I've found it very hard to get a handle on the pacing of this show. I wonder if we'll go deeper into the political side of things, now that the state of affairs have been more fully established.
One thing that continues to bother me is the art. The provocative OP dancing and the sometimes present loli nudity are definitely a little off-putting, but I can handle them. It's something about he color palette that just feels off, as if it's something from the 70s or 80s. Same goes for the character designs and the effect the oft-moving camera has on the way the characters are lighted. It may be what Shaft was going for, given the style of the OP song (Friends, sung by Aiko Nakano). And even the OP animation is far more traditional than what I'm used to from Shaft.
Then again, there's something to be said about anime character design these days that doesn't seem completely derivative. While that alone doesn't validate the art style for me, it certainly helps this very strange show stand out even more.

I'll start off with Knights in the Nightmare, the genre-crossing game from Sting and this one is apparantely the 4th title in their Dept. Heaven series, which includes Riviera: The Promised Land and Yggdra Union: We'll never fight alone. The 3rd title in the series isn't out at the moment, and there are few current details on it. This one looks really unique and different from any of the games out there on the DS. Its kind of a mashup of srpg, strategy and shooter from what I can tell, but take that with a pinch of salt. Style-wise it is slightly similar to Riviera and Yggdra Union and this is one game that looks so nice I really want to get the artbook. It might cost me a bit, but I'll probably look into ebay for the package that ships with US preorders.
Some nice art from Gamespot, RPGfan, RPGamer dunno where else...
Some links and details because theres lots of stuff on there I cant really fit on here. Take a look at these for more;
Knights in the Nightmare (DS)
Developer: Sting
Publisher: Atlus Co
Release Dates: Jun 2, 2009 (US)
Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days (PSP)
I'm quite interested in this one as I really liked the quirkyness, humour and references in the story of the first game. Its a remake or port of Disgaea 2 from the PS2, with added story and aspects of gameplay from the 3rd game on the PS3 from what I can tell. I've not played the 2nd one before, so I'll be looking to get a hold of this one. UK gamers have got all of the recent Disgaea releases, so hopefully we'll get this one as well. If not, I can always import the US copy.
We'll have to wait for this one a while longer, it'll be out later this year in the US.
Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days
Developer: Nippon Ichi Software
Publisher: NIS America
Release Dates: All we've got is Q4 2009 at the moment.
Source: http://playstation.joystiq.com/2009/02/27/disgaea-2-dark-hero-days-psp-trailer/
Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis (PS2)
Us PAL gamers have this now, its released with a pretty cool premium edition with lots of nice stuff: soundtrack, poster and stuff.
I might check this out if I can get it reasonably cheap.
Ar Tonelico 2: Melody Of The Metafalica (PS2)
This is also coming to PAL regions, hopefully there is a better job of it done than the US gamers got. Bugs, bad localisation are not good things, so I'll look at some reviews for this first. Don't know if the insane amount of innuendo and whatnot would be my thing, but still, its cool that PAL gamers get a chance on this one. There is too much going on in this post. I will edit or do another one after this.

Care of the pet Ferret
The ferret (Mustela putorius furo) is a domestic pet. It is not a wild animal, and is a close relative of weasels, minks, skunks, otters, and badgers. There are two varieties of ferrets, based on coloration. Fitch ferrets (the most popular) are buff colored, with black masks, feet and tails. Albino ferrets are white with pink eyes. The female ferret is called a jill, while the male is called a hob. Babies are called kits.
The gestation period of ferrets is 42-44 days (average 42 days). The average litter size is 8 (range, 2-17). Kits are born deaf, with their eyes closed. Their eyes open and begin to hear between 3-5 weeks of age. Their deciduous (temporary) teeth begin to erupt at 2 weeks of age, at which time they begin to eat solid food. Kits are generally weaned onto commercial kitten chow at 4-8 weeks of age. Kits reach their adult weight at 4 months of age. Males are typically twice the size of females, but both sexes undergo periodic weight fluctuations. It is not uncommon for the average ferret to add 30-40% if its body weight in fat deposited beneath the skin in the fall, and lose this fat the following spring. The average life span of ferrets is 7-10 years.
Ferrets make wonderful pets because of their engaging personalities, playful activity and fastidious nature. They are never boring and can entertain you for hours. They enjoy people's company and will follow their owner. Ferrets have somewhat strong odor, which you have to live with.
Ferrets can be easily trained to use the litter box because they tend to habitually urinate and defecate in the same places. Provide a low-sided litter box for easy entry and exit.
get along with other ferrets, dogs and cats. They
are naturally inquisitive and can squeeze through very small places. It is
important to "ferret-proof" your house before bringing your pet home. Make
sure that all windows that may have been opened have secure screens. Check the
openings around plumbing, heating and air condition ducts or pipes.
Ferrets are so small and silent that you will usually not hear them
approach. They frequently get in
dangerous situations (such as sneaking into the drier or end up in the washing
machine with clothes they were sleeping under). Ferrets like to chew on soft
rubber (Erasers, toys, tennis shoes) and can swallow pieces that might obstruct
their intestines.
dry kitten food or ferret food is used for ferrets. They usually do not require
vitamin/mineral supplement. Fresh, clean water should be available at all times.
do not require large space and a relatively small cage will satisfy them.
Newspaper or wood shavings can be used on the bottom of the enclosure.
Places a cloth or a towel in the cage as ferrets like tunneling and sleep
under towels.
Nails grow fast and should be trimmed periodically.
Ferrets are highly susceptible to canine distemper. The initial signs of the disease include anorexia and a thick mucus and pussy discharge from the eyes and nostrils. A rash commonly appears under the chin and in the groin area. The footpads become greatly thickened. This disease is fatal. The disease can be prevented by vaccination, which should start at 6-8 weeks of age. Yearly boosters are recommended thereafter.
This is a common disease in ferrets, which consists in adrenal gland tumor and hormone hypersecretion. Signs include generalized hair loss, pruritus and vulvar enlargement. The treatment is surgical removal of the tumor.
Rare leg weakness and immobility is common in sick ferrets and represent non specific general weakness.
This is a serious and fatal disease characterized by green or black diarrhea, vomiting and progressive wasting. It is more common in young stressed ferrets and is caused by a bacteria related stomach ulcer. Antibiotic treatment is necessary and in hospital intensive care is often needed.
Dental disease is common in ferrets. Teeth and gum disease is more common in older ferrets. Fractured teeth can be seen at any age.
Young ferrets are prone to ingesting rubber or plastic objects that cause intestinal obstruction. Signs include lethargy, anorexia and diarrhea. The condition requires surgery.
Unspayed female ferrets in sustained sexual heat may develop bone marrow suppression and a consequent fatal anemia. The vast majority of ferrets is sexually altered and is not in danger.
Ferrets are susceptible to rabies and capable of transmitting the virus. Vaccination should be done on a yearly basis.
Lymphoma (cancer of the blood cells) is a fatal disease characterized by anorexia, weight loss, lethargy and palpable tumors. Internal organs, lymph nodes and intestines are commonly involved. The disease can affect ferrets at any age and is incurable.
Ferrets are susceptible to infections with several strains of human influenza ("flu") virus. They can contract the disease from the owner. Signs of illness include listlessness, fever, lack of appetite, sneezing, nasal discharge, and other upper respiratory signs. Ferrets usually recover from influenza within several days. Bacterial infections may complicate the viral infection.
Most of the external parasites of domestic dogs and cats (flea, mange mites, ear mites, ring worms etc) can cause disease in ferrets. Protozoan parasites (Giardia, Toxoplasma, Coccidia) can cause internal disease among ferrets. Periodic fecal (stool) examinations should be performed by your veterinarian to check for such parasites.
Ferrets are susceptible to heartworm disease, a mosquito-transmitted illness seen primarily in dogs. Ferrets housed outdoors are at greater risk.
Urinary stones, either within the bladder or urethra, may cause serious problems in ferrets. Signs of urinary stones include blood in the urine, inability to urinate, a swollen and painful abdomen, vomiting, listlessness and no appetite. Surgery is usually necessary.
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, which result in heart failure. The cause for this condition is unknown. Signs include inappetence, fatigue, and increased periods of sleep, intolerance to exercise, fainting and shortness of breath.
Insulin-secreting tumors are common cause persistent low blood sugar levels. Signs of the disease include weakness, depression, fainting spells, changes in behavior and convulsions.
Cataracts are seen in ferrets (young and old). Their significance and genetic predisposition are not fully understood.
A thorough initial examination is necessary for newly acquired ferrets. The veterinarian will start vaccinations for Rabies and distemper and discuss specific issues of husbandry regarding your ferret. A stool examination should also be done.
Ferrets should have a yearly physical examination and vaccinations. Ferrets older then three years should be seen twice a year and also have x-rays and a blood test once a year.[Back]

In the November 2017 issue of Aviation Consumer, we were happy to report that ADS-B manufacturer NavWorx announced a fix for its AD-stricken ADS600-B ADS-B system. The replacement modelthe ADS600-B 2.0was seemingly the upgraded transceiver NavWorx buyers were hoping for. The first-gen systems were essentially useless after the FAA ruled that the internal WAAS GPS module NavWorx used in the transmitter didnt meet the required TSO spec. As youve probably figured out, the November issue of the magazine didnt even make it off the presses before the company announced it had shut its doors.

Here you can keep up to date with all the recent news from Steve Travis,
the most recent news will be added to the top of the page
Shiver me timbers ! At last I have good news regarding the shanty album. The damn thing is here. Yo ho bloody ho. It's been about 2 years on the horizon and 'ere she blows. Yo ho again. I am rather happy about this. 15 great songs and shanties about piraty things, scurvy things and life at sea. Some wistful thoughts of sailing homeward and others are the rollicking bollicking stomping kick up the arse type songs. Whatever, there is a sniff of the good old salt air about this album. Its only me from over the sea said Barnacle Bill the sailor. Definitely more Capt Jack than Capt Birds Eye this time mateys On Sale Now !
Here is a link to a song from the album. Bonny Ship the Diamond. More to come. Yo ho again. Bonny Ship The Diamond
Right a few things have happened in the last few months so here goes.
On to the good news for the country fans
I've been thinking for ages that I might try and set up a small tour next year, you know, a few selected dates. I'll do some country nights and some shanty nights (depends who'll have me lol) As you know, I really do miss performing live and meeting you good folk.
Well that has come to pass and the dates are in the diary. Yes, the Trav live come back shows are happening. I have joined an existing country band, a fine band who had been on the country circuit for many years until their singer, for personal reasons, left earlier this year. A band with no singer—and a singer looking for a band—wallop-here we are. Not so much going to raise a storm but more of a gentle breeze. Easy traditional country music as we like it. There are three gigs in the diary already and the first – open your diary and put it in- is on Sunday 30th Oct. at Nayland village hall, Nayland Nr, Colchester. Phone 07739 537 142 for details. I am so looking forward to treading the boards once again. It's been far to long. The tonsils are warmed up. Oh the roar of the grease paint and the smell of the crowds beckon still !
Hi there … phew, here I am again at last.
It has, I must say rather shamefully, been quite a while since I scribbled down anything newsworthy.
Here it is then, the start of a new year and hopefully with it a few words of interest to you wonderful Trav fans.
Right, basically, I haven't put anything on here because a) I've been on a two year round the world sabbatical cruise or b) I'm pretty useless at doing this stuff and I needed a kick up the arse!
Ok, no prizes for getting it right, I am just not good at keeping things up to date here.
Good news now is that I have found a wonderful lady who is going to take me in hand, so to speak, and get me and keep me motivated in all things Travis. She will do the website here and also stuff on Facebook, not sure about Twitter cos I don't really know what that's all about. Maybe she does and I'll come to that.
Right, so what's new? It was August 2012 that I last gave an update and at that time I had just released the shanty album. That went well enough for the record company to ask for a second shanty album. So I have now recorded a follow up album that should be out very soon and also I have decided to release a 'free' download 8 track shanty album with four tracks from the first album and four tracks from the latest album. This will give people a chance to listen to some shanty songs to see if they like it.
In 2013 I released a country album called 'Monster country' 101 non-stop hits. This is just what it says on the cover. A non-stop dance party of country favourites.
In early 2014 the record company re-released my 'old time favourites' album. I recorded some new medleys to add to it. The album was called 'Steve Travis Remembers' 54 songs that won the war.
Over the last couple of years I continued my writing efforts and as a result I have just published three new books.
- 'Fragments of Desire', this is a book of my poems, some of my song lyrics and some short stories.
- 'Sex facts for men and women', jokes and vintage sex adverts from a bygone age and
- 'T'were rite funny', this is a follow on from my other book 'As I recall it', funny stories written in the style of a young lad's diary 100 years ago.
More details on all these new items can be found on the shop page.
So here we are then, what now? The record company have asked for another country album and to that end I am now applying myself. It'll be a return to roots which will please you dear Trav fans from those glory country years.
I'll keep you posted (promise!)
Steve now has his sails set for a different course.
Steve's name is synonymous with the English country music scene and has been now for many years. However his latest album is a step away from his usual happy-go-lucky vocals. The new album is entitled Shanties and Other Songs of the Sea and includes 17 songs with a nautical slant. There's even an authentic link to the Island's smuggling history. Chicks Milgate is the Greatgrandson of Zebedee Milgate one of the very last
smugglers to be tried in England and he appears on the video for the haunting track Blackwater Smuggler along with Steve and the rest of the Mersea Island Crew.
Steve explained his change of style "It is music that I had enjoyed but never really thought about recording an album of it. An album of sea shanties. Its rollicking trip in the salty air. Pirates of the Caribbean meets Captain Birds eye. No, that's a joke. I live on an island, I have had a boat for years and love bobbing about on the waves away from the madness that is life. Get away me land lubbers, take the Kings shilling and to sea we'll go. This new direction seems right for me just now. I am joined by a hearty crew of friends all singing their hearts out. "
There are songs you'll recognise instantly, revitalised in recent months by the popular Cornish singers the Fisherman's Friends, including the catchy; Sloop John B, What Shall we do with the Drunken Sailor , Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum and Blow the Man Down. Folk fans will enjoy the Irish lilts of Raggle Taggle Gypsies and the catchy fiddle playing in Lowlands Low and the haunting flute in tracks like Haul Away Joe and A Roving.
Throughout the album, Steve takes you on a journey, from the melancholy side of smuggling with Blood Red Roses and Blackwater Smuggler than it bursts back into an altogether more jovial, foot-tapping mood with South Australia, Johnny Come Down to Hilo and All for Me Grog. Fans of Steve's will be pleased that there's still a touch of the old romantic however with The Old Nickelodeon Sound and his special rendition of My Heart Will Go On. The past two years Steve has been on a very personal journey both with this new style of music and also releasing his autobiography One Man and His Microphone. He concludes "I'm really proud of this new album, it's rather different but I'm really happy with the end result I feel it's possibly the best thing I've ever recorded."
Hello again, Trav here.
March 2012. 17th March, its my birthday, they come round don't they. Birthdays are always a good time for reflection, to mull over the good and the bad in ones life. Well I've done that and on the whole I'm pretty content. Mind you, that little £250,000 win on the lotto did help of course and spend spend … oh no.. Wait a minute … I dreamed that bit .. Right so .. Ok so there was no win. .. No! Lets start again.
So, lets catch up with what I've been up to since the last web update. After a three year break I decided I missed entertaining on stage and thought I would arrange another tour. One year back on the road. Looking back I have mixed feelings about the way this went.
On the one hand I enjoyed very much the getting back on stage, singing the old songs, that's what I've always enjoyed and meeting up with old friends. On the down side I was rather sad with the way the clubs had changed in the 3 years that I had been away. First of all I noticed that many of my old fans where not at the clubs and by this I mean some had passed on. It made me reflect on just how good those 20 or so years were that I had with these old Trav friends. It was a blow to see the empty seats!
The clubs themselves lacked the sparkle of the old days, the members that were there were getting older. Secondly of course I still hated the driving, 1 hour, 2 hours 3 hours, its all a hack. And naturally it is worse on the way home. Hell I'm to old for those really late nights! There it was then, by October last year (2011) the country Trav 1 year tour was over. Looking back I had had a bloody good 20 year ride though! Leave it at that. Thank you my dear Trav fans you made it and it was a life worth living.
Did you see me on the Phil Mack country show. Wow, couldn't believe it meself. There I was, and it had only taken 40 years or more to get on the telly. This was thanks to my record company who have been so good to me. I got quite a few enquiries for gigs come in as a result of this. I declined the offers as I have given up touring. Shame it wasn't about 6 years ago.
During the 3 years away from touring I managed at last to finish my auto-biography. I had started writing this about 6 years ago, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Then I left it, then I did a bit more. Then I left it again. But now its finished and finally on sale. Heck! This biog may need a warning for some of you dear Trav fans that know me only from my country years. You see the book goes right back to my rock and beat group beginnings. Then it moves into the free love time of the swinging hippy 60's and 70's. so there is lots of sexy bits in there. Be warned. Sex and drugs and rock'n'roll. Its all in there and its all true. The book is available mail order from the us or from EBAY
The price is £ 9.99. It's gonna be a best seller for sure. Lol. Just kidding.
There are 3 new albums out or in the pipeline.
The 1st album is a poetry album. Poems that I wrote a few years ago and published in a little book called 'A Pirate's Kiss' These poems I have put to music and narrated in my best thespian voice. Lol. It is called 'Fragments of Desire. Available from this website. Album 2 is a country album. A great singalong party album. A kind of 'hooked on country' album with 100 non-stop country tunes. Great for background music at parties, great for playing in the car.. Well just plain great. This will also be out by December (I hope)
Now album 3 is another departure from country music. But this one I think it's a real goody though. It is music that I had enjoyed but never really thought about recording an album of it. It is an album of sea shanties and related songs of the sea. Its rollicking trip in the salty air. Pirates of the Caribbean meets Captain Birds eye. No, that's a joke. Listen to the track on the ??? Page.
I live on an island, I have had a boat for years and love bobbing about on the waves away from the madness that is life. The sea air wafting over
my dreams. Get away me land lubbers, take the Kings shilling and to sea we'll go. This new direction seems right for me just now. I am joined by a hearty crew all singing their hearts out. All good fun and should be out by the end of June. I have recorded a couple of videos that will be up on the site by the middle of September
Having announced his retirement from the country music scene in 2008, Steve Travis is now set to make a return to the country music clubs.
We spoke to Steve at his home in Mersea and he had this to say.
"It is with great pleasure that after 2 years away from the country music scene I am arranging a 'comeback' tour. Quite simply I missed performing, ...that's what I do, that's what I have done since I left school and that's what I love to do . I had 18 years playing the country clubs and looking back over that time I realise what a great time I had and how many friends I made. Im really quite excited about playing live again.
As I said 2 years ago when I gave it up, it was the just driving that got to me in the end. The endless motorways and getting to bed at 3 or 4 in the morning.
But I've had a good break and I'm ready to go again. I have, over the last 2 years worked in other areas of music and completed other non music projects but I now feel its time to return to the stage and perform the country music that I love. . I released a new country album last July called 'Welcome to my World' and that really sold quite well proving that there was still a bit of interest in me, which was very pleasing.
Back on stage I will of course be performing all the old favourite songs that I am remembered for. Classic songs aimed at traditional country music fans and also songs with an irish flavour, these will be played live with no backing tapes as before. Id like to thank you folks that have sent so many letters saying how much you still enjoy my music and how you miss those evenings we spent together, I do hope that we can meet up again at your country music club. It is in part thanks to your continued interest that I am returning to the stage.
So then, 'Ol' Blue Eyes is Back' See you there!
The new album is now available.
Titled "Welcome to my World" the album features ?? songs, some whole songs and some in the Steve Travis Sing-along style that has been so successful for me.
A really great selection of songs that once again include some old country and Irish favourites along with some 50's songs.
This is a double album but retails for the same price as a single CD making this an excellent value album The record company asked if I would be doing any gigs in support to the new release. The fact is I do still think about gigging from time to time and I do rather miss those great times we had but I wonder if the fans would turn up to see me again after a year and a half away? Who knows.
I have had the green light from the record company. They are pleased with my efforts and the album is at the pressing stage now and will be out by the end of the month. To see pictures of my woodcarving see; …. (to follow)
My birthday this month on the 17th, I used to always do a gig on 'Paddy's night' for my good friend Bob Clifford down in Nettlebed in Oxfordshire. I quite missed it this year.
Good news though. The album is recorded now and has been mixed and mastered by my friend Pete at Arcade studios in Essex. Its in the post to the record company and I await their approval. Its funny how long the process is in making an album. From the first idea, the choice of songs, recording the music, recording the backing vocals and my vocals. Cover design and running order. Nearly a year all told.
One year on from not gigging. Let me bring you up to date. First of all I have to say that its been a little weird not being on stage. For so long it was a big part of my life. At first I felt a bit like a fish out of water. I would hear songs or see acts on TV and think, oh I used to do this song. I really had the urge to get out again.
Gradually though, I began to immerse in my wood carving. Over the months I made many ducks and fish. I also made mirrors and clocks out of driftwood. These began to sell at local art shops and galleries. I have had a few exhibitions at local art shows. I have put a few photos on the web to show you. So, working alone in my shed, I carve and create these things from bits of wood and it is going well and my work sold quite well before Christmas.
All very different to being on stage though I must say.
In the colder days and nights I tap away at the computer, writing my biography. This book, titled 'One man and his microphone' is very near completion now.
I am getting friends to read it to pick up on any bad bits. I must look for a publisher now.
I am also attempting to write a play with an old chum of mine called Martin Newell. He is also a musician and writes for the Independent. A play about ?… what else… being a performer, singing and pop groups.
Work on the album stopped in December and over the new year due to Bryans gig diary. We are due to resume work on it in Feb. As Bryan talked about the gigs he had coming up I realised that I hadnt gigged for a year now, it still felt weird. Its in the blood I guess. I missed it.
I am pleased to say that I still get nice emails from you saying how much you like my music and saying you would like to see me on stage.
The new album is underway. The choice of songs has been made and I am back in the recording studio with my chum Bryan Watts from Sudbury. He provides the backing music and I am wailing away on what I hope will be my million selling album. Ha!
My record company got in touch and said that my albums are still selling well all over the country and Europe so would I like to record another one.
What? of course I want to do another album says I.
So now I begin the selection process. What songs should I record, what would you, my dear friends enjoy listening to. From a choice of thousands down to about 70 songs. Not easy! It is an enjoyable process though, meeting up again with my musician friends and seeing our efforts come together in the resulting album. I know that most of the tracks again will be the good old songs. Country and easy listening.
Steve announced this month that, for the foreseeable future, he will cease performing live gigs.
As from 1st of January this year Steve Travis, due to health and family issues, has announced his decision to retire from performing live. The New years eve gig at Wickham Bishops was the last show.
As you know, Steve burst on our country scene with a 'showcase' performance at the Strumpshaw (Scrumpshaw as some call it) festival 18 years ago. With a new and lively act he developed a career that involved plenty of audience participation Steve became one of our best loved entertainers and is recognised as being one of England's top solo artistes.
In an interview with a country magazine Steve had this to say:
"Eventually though, it was the travelling that got the better of me. 18 years up and down the motorways of England, quite often not getting home until the small wee hours. Missing regular meal times and catching up on meals at motorway service stations and McDonalds. It doesn't bode well for good health and family joys."
When we asked Steve what 18 years of performing meant to him, he replied, "17 years of driving vans, hanging around in dressing rooms or toilets and 1 year of singing.
"But entertaining is what I love, it's what I do and it's what I always wanted to do right from leaving school, but being on stage is such a small part of the business. I just grew tired of the driving home at 3 O'clock in the morning. It was not uncommon to see Mr Milkman starting his rounds as I arrived home. It will inevitably take a toll on health and family life," Steve says. "I knew I would have to stop touring one day and various reasons make now seem the right time!
"Prior to becoming a full time professional entertainer I enjoyed a modicum of success as a wood carver, carving ducks and shorebirds from driftwood. I intend to pursue this avenue once again.
"Also, two years ago, I had my first book published and that sold quite well so I would like to develop my writing skills. I intend to write my biography. I will still record and release a new album each year.
"Naturally there are many people that I really want to thank, people that have made my journey possible. I would like to thank the many club promoters that have allowed me to entertain at their clubs, many clubs I have returned to from day one. I want to thank the many loyal fans who have stayed with me, many becoming good friends. Thanks to the radio DJs who have played my songs on the radio. Thanks to the many fabulous musicians who I have had the privilege and enjoyment to work along side.
"I will forget the club promoters and fickle fans that drop you soon as you cease to be 'flavour of the month'.
Will I return to live performances again? Well, never say never!"

Since 2004, under the BC Business Corporation Act, business owners have the option to incorporate online, without the advice of legal counsel. Although this process may be expedient, it has the potential to leave business owners without a share structure that benefits them and allows them to realize their intended goals. In the long term, retaining a law firm to handle and maintain your corporate records can provide you with financial benefits, as well as administrative convenience.
Do You Need to Incorporate?
Incorporation can offer many benefits, including limited liability, separate legal personhood and, when properly structured, can result in tax savings through income splitting. However, incorporation is not necessarily beneficial to every business owner. At Brawn Karras & Sanderson, we can advise you as to whether incorporation is a good option for your business and personal financial needs.
Staff to Maintain Your Corporate Records
After we handle your incorporation, we also maintain your corporate records and attend to annual filings with the registry on your behalf, ensuring that you do not miss a filing that could cause your company to be dissolved and cost you substantial fees to restore.
At Brawn Karras & Sanderson, our Surrey business incorporation lawyers are assisted by two full-time corporate paralegals. In addition to acting as your registered and records office, our staff are available to answer your questions and provide you with ongoing advice as you run your business.

Can Ringo Starr save the world? 50 years later, it all makes sense.
Back in 1967, John and Paul wrote a gem of a tune for their bandmate Ringo to sing lead vocal. The song, a track featured on The Beatles album entitled Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band proclaimed, "Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends."
Some 50 years later, It is a reminder that we could all benefit from the help of someone close to us (or something, depending on how you interpret the lyrics - but I digress). For the sake of our blog here today, we choose to vibe on the 'high' from well orchestrated teamwork.
You may have heard us talk about the Business Exposure Inspection, also known as the BEI. It is a multi-point inspection of your business and its online presence including SEO, SEM, social media presence, website messaging, branding opportunities, search engine rank specific to trade, product, or service, and more. Well, a lot more really.
It is human expertise applied to data and analytics that will grow your business. We mean to say, if you are a business owner, one point is pretty clear. If your business isn't growing steadily, it's dying quickly.
If the BridgeHouse was a coffee shop, the BEI is our 'special blend'. If we were a car lot, the BEI is the shiny, red 2017 Z06 Corvette sitting behind the glass in the air conditioned showroom. If we were an electronics store, the BEI is a Samsung 88" curved 4K Ultra HD TV tucked away in a private showroom setting (currently on sale at Best Buy for a cool $20,000 by the way).
We have collectively spent years scouring the Internet for the best tools. When we find a tool that produces data that helps drill down another critically important segment of your business' online presence, we then add human analysis of it against the data pulled in from other tools. But that's not why you need the BEI. You need it because your business is your heart and soul, it means a lot, if not everything, to you. So why would you let it drown in a sea of noisy competitors, slowly drifting away from customer view day by day?
So, what's the difference between the BEI and you or someone on your team spending a few hours Googling in search of marketing tools, books, online courses, videos, and the like? You and someone on your team are busy! Sure, we love it when our clients have a good working knowledge of marketing on the Internet. But we also know this is a very small percentage of business owners.
That's why BridgeHouse Marketing is the teammate for life you need. Imagine how frustrated (and scared) you will feel when you find out that 700 potential customers in a given month tried to find your business online, but couldn't, and went elsewhere. Now imagine how confident (and relieved) you will feel when we park your business, in all it's glory, right in front of 700 potential customers and your phone is blowing up.
The Business Exposure Inspection (BEI) is just the start, admittedly. There is no magic pill to last forever, we've talked about this before. The Internet marketing universe changes so quickly, you might find yourself #1 in search today for a keyword and buried 10 pages deep 6 months from now.
But the BEI is the only way to get started, you can take that to the bank. You wouldn't run a 100 meter dash without shoes would you? We didn't think so. So lace up the BEI's and let's get started.
How do you get started? Fortunately, you are in the right place. Stay tuned to The BridgeHouse Blog for updates on the BEI launch. It's something very special to us, we knew it had to be packaged and released to you in the right way - no haphazard collection of junk here.
You need answers, we have them. You need analytics you can understand, we will deliver them. You need guidance based on real experience and real data, we can provide it.
Ringo was right, you can get by with a little help from your friends. We are happy to help, friend.
This is the jump-off point for your business. Are you ready?
You can see regular video updates on BEI services and the launch by subscribing to the BridgeHouse Marketing YouTube Channel.

In our social interactions, sometimes we exaggerate, sometimes we tell 'white lies', or sometimes we can be a bit dramatic in our speech pattern, but sometimes there is no room for anything but the truth.
When those times for truth come, it's really important that we can each count on what the other person is saying. Yes, sometimes we simply need the unvarnished truth and want to be sure we're getting it. We're human, so of course the topic of how can you tell if someone is lying to you has been studied for decades.
The other day while roaming around the Web, I ran across an article with a really clear, easy to follow list of signals that appear when someone is likely lying. It may come in handy to know this, or you simply may find it interesting.
Either way, check it out in the article below…

Chef's Note
"Coming from a German background, Christmas has always meant Lebkuchen in my father's family. Having failed to get my aunt's recipe, I found this recipe from a friend in Germany, and made them last year for another friend who had spent his childhood in Germany. They brought tears to his eyes! They taste best when allowed to mellow for a while, so I make them as soon as I can after Thanksgiving. Prep time does not include chilling the dough overnight."
READY IN:30mins
YIELD:72 cookies
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup honey
- 1⁄2 cup molasses
- 3⁄4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄3 cup diced candied citron peel
- 1⁄3 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1⁄4 cup confectioners' sugar
- In a medium saucepan, stir together the honey and molasses. Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lastly the egg.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice and nutmeg. Add the molasses mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in the citron and hazelnuts. Cover dough and chill overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets. Using a small amount of dough at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into small rectangles and place them 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until no imprint remains when touched lightly.
- Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (soft ball stage). Remove from heat and stir in the confectioners' sugar.
- Quickly brush the icing over the cookies while they are still hot (Important!) and remove them to wire cooling racks. If icing becomes sugary while brushing cookies, re-heat slightly- adding a little water until crystals dissolve.
- Store in an airtight container with a cup of orange or apple for a few days to mellow. (I never did understand that part of the instructions, and my friend had no clarification - but I take it to mean store with a cut-up apple or orange - maybe a small cup of juice? I don't know - I just stored the cookies in an airtight container by themselves!).

Girls and boys, it is time to pick up that shiny new armor from the blacksmith, grab your favourite weapon, top off on some well being & mana potions, and put together your thoughts and body for the adventure that lies ahead. Knights of the Previous Republic additionally offered up an important forged of side characters with intriguing and complex relationships (not to point out one of the best snarky assassin droid this meatbag might ever ask for), and set up one of the biggest participant character twists in an RPG.
It was the primary adaptation of Advanced D&D, serving to set the precedent for western RPGs for the last three many years, from Baldur's Gate to The Witcher 3. It even let gamers export their characters into later games in the series, another precursor of things to come back.
It eschewed the turn-based combat of the previous games in favor of extra action-oriented gameplay, and extra importantly its impressive community options let players from all over the world join and play with each other, with revolutionary communication options together with unique emoji and other symbols.
This endlessly charming RPG is so filled with quests and breezy conversations that you may play it for effectively over a hundred hours with out ever running out of things to do. You do not even unlock the class system on your party till round 20 hours in. And while the PlayStation model is a good game worthy of this record, the 3DS remake has some added bonuses, together with a brand new translation, seen enemies as a substitute of random encounters, and even more content — as if 100 hours wasn't enough.… Read More

I would put it in BTC while it's cheap, build-up your stash of BTC enter into any shitcoin buying sprees if the opportunity presents itself. Hang in there and keep an eye on the ETC satoshi value, at the moment it's not that great.
Ethereum Classic and Callisto - Time to Buy More ETC!
Is ETC soon to be listed on Coinbase? I'm sure I read that somewhere the other day?
If so, that sounds like a decent opportunity!..
Yes, within 2 weeks.
It's on there now,saw it yesterday.
Sucks to see articles like this:
The article sucked. It is poorly written, with a click bait title.
Some of the points in the article are valid, but there is risk in most Altcoins with no current adoption. The fact that it has high trade volumes on major exchanges is a pretty good sign it won't be dying off soon.
Yeah its a downer to see that. I'm still a believer in ETC tho. With their potential involvement in IOT, I think it'll have great use cases other than financial transactions like many others are doing. There aren't too many projects out there working on the IOT and avoiding the "faster financial transaction" deal. But are you getting more ETC or ETH?
100% ETC. I think @peter agrees with me on this one. Also I found this article. It is obviously a bit exaggerated but still an interesting title.
Thanks for the article. I actually read this today and its amazing to hear such good news about a "dead coin" rising from the ashes. I have to be honest tho, I'm only liking it because the masses are talking about it and I got pulled into it. After doing more research on it, it seems to lure me in more than Ethereum and Litecoin now. Of course, BTC will be king for me, I'm planning to HODL my mined ETC until it reaches a good amount that I will be ready to sell. Its motivating to see articles such as this to say that there's huge potential in ETC.
I wonder why ETC doesn't show up on the Coinbase home page. I have to log in to see it. Well, I'm glad I can easily buy ETC now without any extra steps.
IoT, gaming, and AI coming to ETC!
ETC Labs Hosts First Startup Incubator Pilot:
Still worth remembering that there are 3 teams working on this and many developers beyond that… just because 1 developer leaves… no big deal
its getting cheaper to buy etc considering it was $22 in march. but if it goes back to $22 that would be awesome.
The culling has yet to truly begin.
And so we wait. Patiently for the Day of the Lord
ETC looking good. Haters gonna hate.
I have 4 ETC when lambo?
What's caused the big rise on ETC?
Nothing special. Most major alts are up 2.5 times from ATLs. ETC is just playing catch up.

A New England respite
For the fifth summer in a row, we've escaped the Texas heat for a few weeks in New England. The main stop — Black Pond — located in the foothills of Maine. A few old friends share a cabin on a small lake facing a preserve of pine, birch and hemlock. Wood thrushes serenade us at dawn and dusk. Most days start with a hike into nearby Mount Vernon. Most afternoons include swimming, boating and more hiking. Kip and I are in charge of brunches around noon each day. Duties for evening feasts are divided among our friends. Really, it's just day after day of playing, reading, cooking, eating, drinking and relaxing. This year's late-night treat: multiple seasons of HBO's "Veep," which is much edgier and more enjoyable than I had any reason to expect.
My summer reading has included John Lahr's magnificent "Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh," Langdon Hammer's minutely detailed "James Merrill: Life and Art," Sven Beckert's far-reaching global history, "Empire of Cotton," and the fourth volume of Karl Ove Knausgaard's exhaustive memoir/novel "My Struggle." Enjoyed them all, although I'm not finished with Hammer's full 800 pages, and probably will take the rest of August to complete them. Otherwise, I typically reserve back issues of The New Yorker for vacations like this one. Yes, we were in the woods, but we had WiFi, so we regularly checked in on local, regional and national media.
This year, we discovered that one of the roads that leads to cabin, Klir Beck, was named for a renowned Maine artist who lived in a Tudor revival house less than a mile from our cabin. Only the odd garage remains after a fire some 16 years ago. He was renowned for his nature studies, including diaramas in Augusta's otherwise deserted State House. He also helped decorate cosmetics queen Elizabeth Arden's house on the Belgrade Lakes nearby. The estate, recently resold after much diminishment, was once a spa, welcoming guests such as Mamie Eisenhower and Judy Garland. An older gentleman we encountered each day on Klir Beck Road — walking his hostile beagle — said that the celebrities came there to "dry out."
By the way, Augusta, the nearest city to Black Pond, hosts the excellent Maine State Museum. On several floors, it goes deep into past occupations and domestic lives, among other things, and includes an instructive water mill. No really, it's one of the best such history museums I've ever encountered. The state capital also offers the Viles Arboretum, which spreads out over many acres with young-growth forests, wide meadows and specialized groves of larches, chestnuts and conifers, as well as dozens of varieties of hostas, the cold-hearty Asian flowers now ubiquitous in New England.
For the past four years, we've bracketed our Maine weeks with a few days in Boston. That way, we take advantage of direct Jet Blue flights into and out of Logan and spend the total of a week in the South End. Buddy and teacher Lawrence Morgan and I explored yet another wing of the endless Museum of Fine Arts – Boston, which like other American mega-museums, is predicated on the notion that great art well presented is not enough. One must overwhelm. Such is not the case at the newly renovated Harvard Art Museums, which offers excellent samples from each period and region without ever overdoing. Think of the Menil Collection in Houston, the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth or the Frick Collection in New York.
Lots of hiking around Cambridge, Back Bay, Fenway and other nearby hoods, stopping to eat at Stephi's on Tremont, and its cousin, Stephanie's on Newbury, as well as Kirkland Tap and Trotter, the Gallows and Petit Robert Bistro.
Happy 50th birthday again to our dear, young friend, Carol Cosenza, who threw the perfect dance party at Lilypad, a micro-venue in Cambridge. Wish Austin had more spots like this one. Less overhead and more intimate.

Techdirt's Mike Masnick Defeats $15M Libel Lawsuit From Self-Proclaimed Inventor of Email
In a win for tech writers who scrutinize the history of email, a federal judge has dismissed a libel claim against Techdirt founder Mike Masnick for publicly questioning one man's account of digital mail's inception.
Shiva Ayyadurai says he invented email. In January, he sued Masnick, Techdirt scribe Leigh Beadon and the site's parent company, Floor64 Inc., in Massachusetts federal court following a series of articles published over the course of two years that doubted his claim. Masnick's attorney Robert Bertsche filed both a motion to dismiss and a motion to strike the complaint under California's anti-SLAPP statute, which often brings an early end to lawsuits arising from protected activity like free speech.
Ayyadurai's attorney Charles Harder challenged the motion arguing that using California law in a Massachusetts legal fight is improper and the statute itself allows defendants to file a meritless motion and immediately appeal if they lose, meanwhile the plaintiff's "evidence grows stale" awaiting the outcome.
U.S. District Judge Dennis Saylor agreed with Harder, to some extent, but still dismissed Ayyadurai's case with prejudice.
The court found that there was a clear conflict between Massachusetts law, which allows parties to move to dismiss claims based on that party's exercise of its right to petition, and the broader California law which also includes acts furthering free speech. Further complicating the analysis is the Massachusett's choice-of-law principle that allows the court to consider whether another state "has a greater interest in the determination of the particular issue."
"Massachusetts has attempted to balance the encouragement of protected speech with the desire to protect those who are harmed by defamatory statements," writes Saylor. "Under the circumstances presented here, there is no reason to favor California's policy over that of Massachusetts."
Accordingly, Saylor denied the motion to strike and proceeded to evaluate the motion to dismiss under Massachusetts law. The court also held that Ayyadurai is a limited-purpose public figure and the invention of email is a matter of public interest. Therefore the scientist needed to prove the statements are false and meet the actual malice standard by plausibly alleging that Masnick either knew they were false or acted with reckless disregard for the truth.
Ayyadurai may have created an electronic interoffice mail program for a New Jersey dentistry school in the late 1970s, but Saylor found that doesn't necessarily answer the question of whether he's the inventor of email or the creator of an email system. Regardless, Saylor found the challenged statements are protected by the First Amendment.
"First, by its nature, the question of who invented e-mail is not subject to one, and only one, 'true' answer," writes Saylor. "The answer depends upon how 'e-mail' itself is defined. ... Because that definition does not have a single, objectively correct answer, the claim is incapable of being proved true or false."
He also found that other statements likewise couldn't be proved false, were subjective or included figurative language or hyperbole, which also precludes a defamation claim — and that Ayyadurai failed to plausibly allege any of the statements were made with actual malice.
Beadon was sued for one article, which was largely composed of Techdirt reader comments on the topic, and argued the claims against him are barred by the Communications Decency Act.
"All of the allegedly defamatory comments identified in the complaint are contained within the re-posted user comments," writes Saylor. "Whether defendants are immune under the CDA thus depends upon whether re-posting comments originally created by third-party users amounts to the 'creation or development of information.'"
While Beadon "arguably adopted or ratified" the comments by choosing them, Saylor held he isn't liable under the CDA. He writes, "Republishing an already-existing user-submitted comment, without altering the content of that comment, does not materially contribute to its allegedly defamatory nature."
Saylor also dismissed Ayyadurai's claims for intentional interference with prospective economic advantage and emotional distress. Read his full opinion below.
Harder issued a statement Wednesday in response to the decision and said Ayyadurai will appeal the ruling.
"Dr. Ayyadurai has a long history of standing up for free speech," he said. "As a strong proponent of free speech, he also believes in truthful speech. False speech is not protected by the Constitution, and TechDirt's false and malicious speech about Dr. Ayyadurai should receive no legal protection. False speech does harm to readers, who are misled by it; it does harm to journalism, which is weakened by it; and it does harm to the subjects of the speech, whose reputations and careers are damaged by it. The public, and the courts, should not tolerate false speech, particularly when it causes people harm, and irresponsible media companies should stop using the Constitution as an excuse for their reckless dissemination of false information."
Sept. 6, 9:40 p.m. Updated with a statement from Ayyadurai's attorney Charles Harder.

Never let it be said that Im being negative, oh no!!!! Im just moving clouds tonight, tommorrow I will try mountains
Work has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous, but chin up there is a cloud to every silver lining....sorry a silver lining in every cloud...I think???
For the past few weeks managers have been doing spot checks during our shifts at work to ensure we have our nose to the grindstone and working dilligently for every penny we get, so much reorganisation, so many new local policies and having to evidence what we do during our cancelled time with clients.
Most of this has come as a result of very poor team dynamics, caused by team members being focussed on others not so perfect work practice rather than looking at their own and moaning to management, choosing to ignore their own part in the whole sorry affair. Gosh this is a whine if ever I wrote one.
However the silver lining in the cloud is perhaps the fact that the moaners and complainers have brought attention to, not only their colleuges lack of perfection, but to their own too. In the meantime the core part of the team who steer clear of the drama are now struggling to keep motivated. Im one of them!!!
Furor has raised its ugly head amongst some as one of the worst culprits has been awarded the opportunity to do day release at college,paid for by the organisation, so he can gain a certificate and also ensure he wont leave as he was threatening to do so. War has been declared..However this guy I feel doesnt want advancement and further responsibility, he just gets a kick out of moaning and drama, its there in all aspects of his life, hes an OK guy but just loves to moan. Simple...no problem.
Im smiling as some are so red in the face with the injustice of it all, ignoring his reluctance to accept the course initially..He now has full time work, fitting in a college placement and 3,ooo word essays etc etc. He was complaining before, I dread to think what he will be like when the course actually begins to become an added extra that he hadnt counted on.. Well at least he was heard..lol
To add to the day I heard that my son was assaulted on Saturday night, unprovoked, and left with a broken jaw and some very sore looking cuts to his forehead requiring stiches, acquired when he landed face down on the pavement,having been hit.
Thankfully he is ok, other than concussion, and the possibility of an operation if needed on his jaw, he will find out on Friday.
What hit home was the fact that he didnt say anything, being my eldest and independant for many years now, he didnt feel the need to ring me and bother me with it...and somehow even as his mother that felt OK.
I did however go round and see him tonight, offering to bring chicken soup for his soul telling him I wasnt sure if it worked for broken jaws too, but hey!!!! worth a try. The police are apparently scanning cctv footage to try and identify his assailant.
Focussing on the here and now, life is too short to be making dramas out of crisis. Everything has its time and passes and I feel a little more confident given direction care in the community appears to be taking that its time for me to consider applying my skills in a more productive way, but what and where at this time...I DONT KNOW!!!
Finally is it just an old wives tale that says its good luck if a bird s**ts on your head, nothing should prevent you looking to the stars, well thats what I believe anyways..

I really read this on the wrong day (in 8 hours time I go to the meeting which lets me know what the Course entails)....as the words "3,000 word essay" jumped out and bit me on the nose before I could read anything else!
Manda and Lynn have totally different careers but each of them have the same complaint as you...reorganisation, new policies and reams of silly time management paperwork that takes time away from the job they're trying to do! No doubt some of your co-workers are finding faults in the others as a way to hide from their own shortcomings....it's not only children who have the playground outlook of "It wasn't me it was him, Miss". I hope you manage to keep your head down and rise above it all......Hmmmm slight paradox there :o)
I hope your son recovers quickly...I'm sure the chicken soup helped....isn't it sad that my first reaction was "Thank goodness it wasn't worse" rather than "What a terrible thing to happen"......with all the stories of shootings and stabbings in the news lately...well you know what I mean. I hope the police do catch the person who did it...whether justice will be done if they do I don't know.
Anyway chin up Auds and look on the bright side....at least elephants don't fly!
Happy Stargazing

Ruth, words for you today
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. -----Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh Bear.
You write everyday so naturally, excellent practice for essay writing, Its amazing how it all comes back..so looking forward to reading about it.
My first thoughts were exactly the same as yours,Im glad they were my first thoughts, he is a little sore but Ok and thats all that matters at the end of the day.
LOL Got lots to be thankful for and I will definitely be adding the elephants dont fly to my list, that made me laugh out loud
Thinking of you xxxx Auds

Let's just call it a window of opportunity, opened by Mariza, Cristina & Palma, after just finally loading all those tracks into my MP3. It is the best I have ever heard them, this way, shuffled between the 3 albums. Wow!
Yesterday marked one year since the death of Leonor, which was the end of the mission that brought meon this one-way mission. and you & Ruth appeared. It was wonderful. I don't know where you found that fado, but it read pretty well.
Saudades. First, we need to have our emotions alive, rather than as sadly blunted asmine have been this past month. But let's celebrate the fact that I am here now, not waste time. Reading of what happened to your son, the appalling mindlessness of such wanton violence reminded me of one of the reasons I live in this country now rather than that. It sickened me to read it, but thankfully it wasn't any worse.
I see Sky News most days, & the UK seems to have truly degenerated into a nighmare of vicious nihilism(although Sky News seems to exist principally to serve up a constant diet of that kind of "Top Story". What for? What agenda?).
I am trying to hang on, but it is now like "Groundhog Day", every day identical. And hot. Not a single outing from VFX.
Cut the slack as soon as you can, Auds. Fly!
With all my love, carinho & gratitude

I found the fado on youtube Stewart, there is a better translation on there but it was harder to copy...its so difficult to define.
Since you introduced me to the delights of Fado, I have done some exploring,Sooooooo much available,to see Mariza sing without a microphone,her voice so clear,powerful. Im also enjoying Dulce Pontes amongst all the others.
I celebrate you both here and at the 'Flames of Eden', close my eyes and remember the pheonix, and then fly..

Gleds not so much the people I work with are dreadful, more just a case of ego clashes,boring to watch and uninspiring
As for the powerbird, perhaps that could be the pheonix, seems relevant, something about rising from the ashes and going on to reach ones full potential, write that book, your very expressive!! Im nagging..lol No I dont think I ticked the raw meat question..UGHH!!!lol
I altered the size parameters by halving them so they would fit in the side bar, but still cant add links...so frustrating.

I don't know whether it's an old wives tale, but I like the sound of it, so I'm gonna use it too! I love the starry picture; it reminds me of the book I'm now reading by Carl Sagan. Not that you're interested but it's a newer one called Varieties of Scientific Experience, and it's all about the search for meaning vs. God vs. nature. It's pretty cool.
I know just what you're saying about work. It sounds much the same as the clashes at mine. The spot checks and all, ugh. God forbid you take a breather or anything like that.

P.S....A coupla things. That is awful about your son. How did that happen to him? I thought WE were the violent country.
On a lighter note, the bird I got was the DOVE. Auds, it's eerily correct. Maybe I should get a dove for a pet.
- 6 September 2007 at 00:16
- Audrey said...
ans, Ive heard the name Carl Sagan,but never read any of his books, it sounds really interesting, you must let me know if its a good read.
As for my son, he made the mistake of asking a guy who was verbally aggressive to female friends in his company 'what his problem was' by the sounds of it a volcano waiting for a place to erupt. He now realises he should have said nothing and let him go on his merry or not so merry way. Live and learn.
Typical night on the streets of Aberdeen on a weekend sadly, but this is the first time any of mine have been hurt whilst out.

Dear Auds, whatevcr happened to my "window of opportunity" comment posted last night? Did you actually see it? I wrote that I was enabled to do it by having loaded all those CDs onto my MP3, in which they sound even better, particularly all shuffled among the 3 singers.
And saying how sickened I was to read about your son, even though it could have produced far worse consequences.
And my thanks and love and carinho for wading through my opus magnum about my visit to the neolithic past, and the clash with 9/11.
I hope this sticks this time. Almost as bad as losing my post last month.
All the very best,

Thank you for your comment about my running with the wolves and such...the reference is very flattering. I have read the book of course and really admire it and try to study its ideas (for lack of a better word). I'm honored to be part of that all-girls club!
