My friend Sini Saarela is in jail in Murmansk, along with many other Greenpeace International activists. They are some of the first people in the world to face long jail sentences because they followed their conviction and acted against climate change, because they peacefully demonstrated against Arctic oil drilling. Sini and the Arctic activists are doing something which millions of people would agree is very urgent: keeping fossil fuels away from our atmosphere.
Henry Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King all claimed that there will be times when individual people have a moral duty to conduct civil disobedience. I believe, that with the climate crisis getting worse, we have now reached such a moment.
Let's have a recap of the facts. Russian oil giant Gazprom, disregarding the climate crisis, is rushing ahead with Arctic oil drilling. It's doing so in an area of ocean which is newly accessible because of climate change, and where an oil spill would do irreversible damage. Nevertheless, the operation of Gazprom is considered legal, while Sini is sitting in a jail in Murmansk. This picture is everything that is wrong with our planet.
Thoreau, who in 1849 led the debate on slavery in the United States, argued that individuals should not let states or current laws silence the voice of their conscience. Gandhi urged people to join a peaceful movement against injustice. Civil disobedience does not mean anarchy or lawlessness. On the contrary, the people doing it are facing up to the possible legal consequences of their actions. They are trying to change the sense of justice of people in our societies, and eventually change the laws.
Protests by individuals have often led to great changes. Without the courage of Rosa Parks who refused to follow the racial segregation laws of Alabama and give up her seat on a bus, Barack Obama would maybe not be a president of the United States. He might not even be allowed to vote.
After years of climate campaigning, we have reached a decisive moment. The threat of climate change is officially acknowledged by most governments, but this does not translate into action. The UN recently published a new report about climate change which gives a dark picture of the world we are sliding into, if the trends are not turned around. No parent would wish this future for their children and no young person can face it with optimism. We can still avoid this future but we need action now, not at some point later.
In a more rational universe it would not be Sini and her friends but the presidents of United States, EU, China, and out other political leaders, demanding that Russia think twice before drilling in the Arctic. The situation is starkly different. The Arctic oil rush reminds us the last days of Easter Island, a race to see who can erect the last statue, cut the last tree.
I have known Sini for years. She is genuinely one of the most moral persons I know. You know, a person who has difficulty idly accepting injustice, whereas I have become very good at soothing the pinpricks of my conscience because this is also how other people act. Sini is also one of the most brave persons I've ever met. She understood the risks of where she was going, even if nobody expected these absurd charges to materialise. I do not think I would have courage to face Gazprom for the second time, like Sini has done. This is true conviction. I am proud to say that I know such a person.
Many people are irritated by activism. It is a prickly wake up call for us, whose moral sense might be a bit dulled, whose inner voice has become weak. Many people do not want to accept this challenge. They want to deny the risk of climate change. In some countries like Finland, people hide behind the backs of the government or legality. But no politician is on the right track to save us - or our children. This role is left to Sini and those who will find their courage and their sense of justice in the face of the climate battle.
In Finland, a lot of our countrymen have judged Sini harshly, even wishing her time in a Russian prison. I can only imagine what kind of comments were heard when people first stood up to end slavery, or ban racial segregation, or demand for voting rights for women. Often the people who have tried to wake us up have not been well treated. We have not wished to hear the message. When I read the complacent or aggressive comments to news about Sini, I again feel that we have not really deserved these heroes. We have not deserved the personal risk that Sini has taken for climate cause. But even then Sini acts. Because it is the right thing to do.
Support Sini Saarela and the Arctic activists, sign the petition and please ask your friends and family to do the same.

Gene: First off, I think your comment uses disgusting language and should be removed. But that, sad to say you don't know, is something most others see as a true and accurate reflection of your character. You should think about that.
But yes the Arctic Sunrise uses thousands of gallons of diesel fuel (oil). They have a new Rainbow Warrior that uses sails, but it would be senseless to risk that in the Arctic, ...they don't make very good ice breakers, ...which the Arctic Sunrise was before it was commissioned with Greenpeace. They use thousands of gallons necessary to achieve saving billions of barrels, ...and our atmosphere. I like that idea. They also likely have to use non renewable energy in some of their offices and to run their computers. But likely the troll you are, you would like to see it all shut down and leave everyone in the dark, so Gazprom, the oil and pollution industry could have their way without anyone watching or exposing them. They are all about greed and exploitation. Greenpeace is all about green and peace, and a sustainable future, ...which the finite resource of oil is not. Why on earth do you think they are resorting to expensive fracking and risking drilling in the difficult waters of the Arctic? Answer: They have to because the wells are running dry. Half of what took hundreds of millions of years to make has been used up in the past 60 years. This obviously cannot continue and we must find alternative and sustainable energy. Everything you have at one time or another came by truck, ship, or plane. Think of the chaos in fifty years when the price of gas or diesel is $50 a gallon. When the price of a loaf of bread in third world countries triples. What kind of a future will there be for your own children?
Finally, people that want to hang a banner as they have done in many places all over the world, ...are not pirates, ...they are heroes and those that really care. I know it, they know it, and all those that really care know it. I hope someday you will have a change of heart and see what is at risk here Gene, ...understand that Sini and the other 29 sit being mistreated in a Russian prison do so because they choose to fight for your children's future. I hope someday you will join us.
God bless you Rainbow Warriors, Sini, Harri, Kumi, Andrew, all those in Greenpeace, and it's millions of true supporters. The greatest organization and hope for our future ever.

Is blued eyed blondie Sini and the 29 others mistreated in russian jail ??? ??? This really is a SCANDAL !!!
But as many other "experts" here knowing just a little about Russia due to 10 years travel in this beautiful country............ I think they get same treatment like ALL other staying in the respective prisons !!!??? My father survived 7 years in russian prison after he became POW in Stalingrad.......... that is 70 years ago and conditions were different......... He survived and Sini will too !!! My father never said any bad words about Russia or russian people........... he was follwing orders attacking Russia........... same GP activists did in russian thermology.........
So what ??? Go to Court, face justice and take the judgement you will get...... or go to Appeal Court........... and maybe get longer judgement !!! I was looking at pictures of Sini.......... both before and after her attack of a russian oil rigg. She is looking VERY thoughtful on picture from jail. Maybe she will get lot of time to think about her actions when she will stay in Russia. On GP-web side she was coming from arctic Finland............. I have been living there for 5 years, but I never saw the arctic in Finland.......... acoording to GP I might have been wrong place .........

Perhaps we will have to take a look, a good, long and hard look, at these oil dependant generations. And not just one but several looks, and perhaps several more...
There's a basic tenet among anthropologic, evolutionary, and biologic circles: A specie does not survive if it's energy intake to energy expenditure ratio is less than one. I can explain the math if necessary. This is how species survived and continued for ages; for ~ 3.6 billion years. This is how species survive now; every specie except one.
Some will look at this specie and the ecology that sustains it, and apparently some will not.

Yes germapi, Love and logic
I see it in the post he has just made, and I have seen it for many years and in the many comments he's made. But I've seen more than that. I've felt his successes and his failures, the Love he feels so deep inside for this earth, it's people, and creatures. I've seen him do what he felt was right, every time. I've seen the logic and light that has come to him, and is the manifestation of his Love. I hope this helps you understand what I meant.
I'm sorry your father had to go through that abuse. Sure he made it, but it never should have happened, ...those years stolen from him. And yes these 30 brave souls will make it. But it shouldn't happen. It is just as wrong to happen as it was to your father. I only wish he had Avaaz, Amnesty International, and so many other great organizations trying to free him, as they are my dear friends. I know these people and what lies in their hearts. In another time and place they would have did what they could to free your father, ...maybe even climb an oil rig and hang a banner.

Strange !!!!! My father never felt these years as any abuse !!!! He took it as the punishment for the criminal act of invading an independent country. But he only, as many other soldiers had obeyed orders............... He was feeling lucky, because he was alive when he came back !!!
That time there was no Avaaz, no Amnesty International or others........ There was German Red Cross and a german Chancellor Konrad Adenauer who did great work to free POW's. The last came back to their families as late as 1956.............
Knowing russian mentality very well I have to tell you that hanging an orange banner from some place would not change anything !!!!! And I think Greenpeace organisators should have known this when planning this act of violation of other peoples property. They ALWAYS call their actions peaceful and many times act against law. In Russia there was little different reaction about violating law and I think there is nothing more to do than take the case in Court where Greenpeace activists will have all possibilities to let all their "experts" give their opinion. The case will be closed according to russian law and not the "dream world" and "fairy tales" of Greenpece. This reality !!!!

I have to say I know Russian mentality very well too, ...they're human like the rest of us, ...same conscience, ...same Love. This attempt to hang a banner though was for the world to open their eyes to the real dangers of the exploitation, plundering, and the very real possibility of a major disaster in this pristine environment. It has the publicity it needs and is successful in doing that. Yes Greenpeace acts against the law sometimes. It's called civil disobedience, and I'm all for it. It is not violent, but simply bringing the eyes and ears of the world to bear, ...and from there, it is their choice. No one organization can change anything by itself, ...only the people of the world can do that. I personally know people in Russia that are appalled by these 30 being abused for the sake of Gazprom's money, and this latest smear tactic by their well paid trolls. Greenpeace's mission has always been that, ...to inform the public. For myself and a hundred million people, I wouldn't have known about this drilling if it hadn't been for Greenpeace's action. Now that I know, I want it stopped. The resources of the world do not belong to anyone to plunder just because they can. Thank you Greenpeace. Perhaps Russia was justified in putting your father in prison. There is no justification for charging people with piracy for wanting to hang a banner to let the world decide what is right or wrong. Heroes, not pirates, ...case closed.

Thx a lot for your comment. But I cannot quiete follow your thoughts............... :-(
You tell you know russian mentality and you give comments about your russian friends opinion.
Principally I do not like when people talk in these stereotype "western phrases" like ..........abused for the sake of Gazprom's money, and this latest smear tactic by their well paid trolls.................
Are they really abused for the sake of Gazprom ??? And what in your opinion is "a well paid troll" ???
If your russian friends have own opinion it is best to show this in daily life in public discussions, at their working place, to friends............ the action like Greenpeace did will change NOTHING !!!!
I actually do not have 1 SINGLE friend in Russia who is talking positive about this Greenpeace action. In their opinion it is only disturbing daily life and law and order............. same like "Pussy Riots" HEROIC demonstration in Moscow Cathedral Храм Христа́ Спаси́теля. This also was a "peaceful" act in their mind.......... but not in mind of common russians and not according to russian law !!!!
I was headhunted in 2001 and became "Area Sales Manager Scandinavia" for a large german company............ in wood business. Can you imagine they produced different products you and also Greenpeace people use in daily life from trees cut down in forest ???
Isn't it terrible to cut down forest in whole Europe to be so selfish to get some new furniture, new kitchen ..........or print something on paper made of wooden pulp ????
I think not !!!! All products were certified according to FSC certification and I feel VERY well about the job I had for several years. Was I also a "well paid troll" ???
This oilrigg is build in Russia and was giving work for a company with more than 25.000 employees............
I do NOT understand why Greenpeace keeps going on with their BOMBASTIC phrases, som of them are even lies!!!!
I earlier asked what Gazprom has to do with oil rigg "Кольская", but I do not get an answer !!!!
Maybe because that what GP was telling on their web sites has to do NOTHING with reality !!??? It was build by Rauma-Repola in Finland........... and not property of Gazprom .............
Maybe russian technique is much better and more safe ??? I wonder why here every week are landing min. 2 Antonov 124 airplanes, I wonder who is the supplying the ISS space station...........Russian technique............ as americans are close to bankrupcy, but still claim to be World Police, same like Greenpeace, same like Whitnesses of Jehova ........... They ALL KNOW what is best for me and whole world !!!!
I like your last sentence (from dreamland)......... Heroes, not pirates ........... case closed. This case will be closed in Court in murmansk, if they are prirates they will get punishment according to russian law, if they are heroes rusians use to give medal for this !!! Earlier there were heroes of work..............maybe they will give new medal "Hero of Arctic" !!?? I doubt...........

Neither our forests nor our Arctic ice cover are human inventions / experiments, germapi. The stakes are much higher.
The FSC a democratic association, eh? My, my; corruption may have taken root within it much worse than I had thought.
... Greenpeace is multi-generational at it's core, germapi. Improvement is a constant within it, again at its core. We actually keep pace with scientific study somewhat, more and less.
Here, let me look up that word for you:
- knowledge about or study of the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and observation
- a particular area of scientific study (such as biology, physics, or chemistry) : a particular branch of science
- a subject that is formally studied in a college, university, etc.
Can you not see the trees OR the forest?

Thx a lot for your TEACHING lesson !!! I have one BIG problem: I cannot see civilisation for all trees as I live deep inside forest !!! Only civilisation I see is when a russian Antonov 124 is passing by in air to land on local airport.......... re-transporting NATO war material from Iran and Afghanistan........ To get to nearest road with asphalt I have to drive 5 kms......... :-) So trees and forest I think I see a lot every single day !!!!

Why do I not get answer to some very simple questions I have asked ???
You doubt FSC being a democratic association........ what GP does in this case ??? No connections, no lobby work...........only the usual bla bla ??? Or uninteresting issue because where GP should put one of their rediciolous banners ???
Can you tell me here in this forum the reason why Patrick Moore not longer is member of Greenpeace and what is his work today ???
I do not know where you are living, but I think it is in the peace loving country of USA..........close to bankrupcy.......... But teach me, like when you wanted to tell me about science. I wait your answer with BIG interest !!!

Ah yes, you sit at your computer but do not see civilization. Only airplanes. How is this, selective vision?
Did I write that the FSC is not a democratic association? Can you not look in depth to anything? Why is this? Did I offer to teach or offer distinction between science and politics? Yet you reject distinction between science and politics. Why is this? Why, selective hearing?
No, I think a headhunted Area Sales Manager Scandinavia can not see the trees or the forest but is blinded to both by sales of new furniture and paper products. Blinded by personal profit.
Evidence supports this hypothesis, but even this analysis is wasted on you, isn't it? No doubt germapis food and clothing and newspapers and associates are all dropped from airplanes like manna from heaven for he can not see civilization other than airplanes. And even this is wasted on germapi. No analysis of humanity, no analysis of environment, of ecology, of biology or sociology other than germapis is valid for he sees airplanes, not people.
An old businessman will not be a scientist, but I could be mistaken. An old businessman will not be a scientist because he will not see what is but only what he wants.
We might suggest that an old, petroleum dependant businessman has a bigger problem; his own assumptions.
= = = = =
Ya, G.C. It seems he sits in his scrap of forest and does not want to see the rest, eh?
I suspect the desire to retreat runs deep and is common; maybe we should explore it...

Hi brain dead GP freak.............
Just like to tell you a little of my day today......... Me and my wife woke up in our beautiful home in middle of forest.....heated by a super modern oil heating system where its exhaustion is lead out in plastic tubes........... plastic tubes produced from some oil product.......... but anyway less than 60 degrees warm when lead out from chimney. Heating system is controlled every year and I have attest showing how much it is polluting !!!
I think many 1.000's time less and this redicilous "Arctic Sunraise" was polluting with its MAK engine build in Kiel, Germany during this "heroic" raid to russian property. If you want I can post the figures here................ both of my oil heating system and the MaK engines............. (you do not know my history, but I think I know MUCH more about Mak then you ever will!!! It was before I became a paid troll in wood industry............working for profit !!) and then we can devide by people living in my place...............or amount of these terrorists on this vessel............
No reason to talk about your 2 stroke engined power boats !!! They are NOT polluting ANYTHING !!! Fuel is coming from BP !!
For your information: In our forest we have 1.500 m2 grass area at our garden...............cut by lawn mower powered by solar energy...........
My wife went to forest today........you know place with trees............some growing, some dieing, some cut down ............ and collected mushroms for evening dinner.........
When starting cooking she needed some creme frâiche........... so we took bicycle and were riding 5 km through forest to main road, then another 4 km to local shop to buy her needed creme frâiche.
I have to admit, due to some pills I have got from my doctor i did some farting during bicycle trip polluting our athmosphere...... :-(
But I really hope this will NOT be reason for you to come here and put some orange banners !!
If you have plans............ pls. inform me before this action will take place so I can keep our precious doggies inside so you will get your success without any unplanned surprises.
Doggies are only protecting their family and territory................. same like russian Coast Guard soldiers did in brave way when some idiots tried to attack russian property!!!
So little civilisation I actually have seen today !!!!!??? But no Airplane :-( :-(
The Antonov's usaully come on wednesdays........... I have made many pictures like GP does from their heroic actions !!!
NB.: What actually you are living from ???
Get any payment from whom ??? Or just living from clean air, love to our planet .............and petrol from BP ???
I really hope we will meet in Murmansk in Court with its beautiful anture around the city............ It was NOT polluted by Greenpiss vessel as it was towed by russian Coast Guard. So this you can post as a GREAT GP success on your web site !!!

Thanks listenin..., I live in Connecticut. They say in colonial times if you were a squirrel, you could have traveled from Maine to Florida on the tops of trees. That is all but gone now, and as the destruction of the rainforests of the world continues unabated. In the Amazon they continue to lose about 5,000 square miles a year to burning and cutting. 30% of all are medicines are from the rainforest there with only one percent of the plants evaluated for their medicinal properties. This is also driving out indigenous tribes and the medicine men who have knowledge of the medicinal attributes of these plants. The say every time a medicine man dies there, it's like losing a library. Destroying forever the cures that can help us. God help us to understand...

germapi..., Did you know just a few days before the new Rainbow Warrior sailed up the Amazon to decry all the destruction, that three anti logging activists were brutally murdered. None the less, and knowing this Greenpeace took the risk and went anyway. They understand how vital that resource is and it's destruction must be stopped. No, they will not stop it, but the information they document ultimately will. Selective harvesting is one thing, and clear cutting is another. You have to understand that forests have only a few inches of compost, ...the composting of trees and plants that renew the cycle and feed new plants and trees. Once all the trees are removed, the cycle is broken. You can see what happened in Viet Nam with agent orange. The forests there never to come back. Clear cut forests will ultimately turn into savannah grass land, and then to desert. Thank you Greenpeace for your Love of our earth and it's people, ...the risks you take, and standing strong against the abuse of those that know no Love, only greed and power. Did you ever read Greenpeace's Warriors of the Rainbow mantra Germani? It is a prophecy written many years ago by an ole Cree Indian woman named Eyes Of Fire. If not, I think you should. It might help give you some perspective on what these people are all about. You can see it here on one of the tributes I've made for their heroic work. Please enjoy...

Thx a lot foryour comment. No, I did not know about any murder of any anti logging activists............ Is this imporatant to know when talking about the event in russian Arctic ??? I hope they have efficient police there so this crime has been solved and people who commited this crime got their judgement, according to the laws of the country where the crime was commited.
Thx a lot for your explaining words about the cycle of forest life !!! I live in a 180 m2 house in middle of forest, my neighbors are deers, rabbits, foxes, eagles............. so just a LITTLE I know about cycle in forest !!! But thx for your informations anyway.......... During week end my wife was collecting 15 kg of best mushrooms from the compost area of our forest......... I have been working in wood industry for nearly 40 years and spend my life living in different countries............ while we still kept our home in middle of forest. Some areas in this forest are clear cutted every year, people call it harvesting !!!! And afterwards new trees are planted which will grow up again.
I am sorry to tell you, but I will not use many minutes to read any Greenpeace "informations"......for me it is on same level like "informations" from whitnesses of Jehova. The tell the "truth" in a way which is best for their purposes............. I still have NOT got any answer about the questions I have asked here and I assume I will never get them, at least not from Greenpeace !!!
I am wondering about you !!! You tell you live in Connecticut, this peace loving nation called USA............ You talk about indigenous tribes.............. you talk about agent orange........... Do you remember how your great nation has treated indigenous tribes like indians in their own country, do you know how you treat prisoners in Guantanamo ??? Do you know what crimes your US soldiers have commited in countries like Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Afghanistan ........... and many others ???
NB: My nick is GERMAPI ............ not germani.......... ad if you know little foreign language (in this case russian..........) you might catch the meaning............. But knowing lot of americans during my military life as young NATO-soldier and my lon working life afterwards I doubt you just have a clue of what it could be.
Let us wait the Court session in Murmansk and see what the judgement will be based on the russian laws these activists have violated. Greenpeace has possibility to give BEST juridical help and also can ask ALL their EXPERTS to whitness in Court.

I was looking at Greenpeace web site yesterday and found picture documentation about the "tremendous support" for the Arctic 30 every where in world ............ Amazing to see these pictures !!! Most of them are Greenpeace activists from the respective country............. some places there are up to 10 people infront of russian Embassy, some places even 30 !!! In Helsinki Greenpecae claims there were about 1.3000......... lol. After living 5 years in Finland I think most of them thought there would be some free beer in bar "Omenapuu" (Appletree) in Helsinki afterwards..........
Most impressive was the protest in Moscow !!!!
How many millions of people are living there ????
And ONE protester infront of Gazprom Headquarters !!!
Why no protest on Red Square close to Kremlin where Greenpeace expert Dr. Vladimir Putin is living ??? Maybe he would have joined the protests and afterwards offer a cup of tea in Kremlin ??? It really is nice place to visit and shows russian history. A proud country which does not like to be pissed at !!!
But Greenpeace does NOT dare just to think about protest on Red Square, the most central place in Moscow where they would get LOT of media coverage.
German pilot Martin Rust once protest against CCCP ......... landing his air plane close to Red Square. He was a "hero" and took his punishment in jail afterwards..........
What Greenpeace is ???? An association of adrenalin jukees crying like old women or baby who lost its pacifier when something is developing NOT in their habits..........
If I was GP activist I would take the planners of this event to Court afterwards !!! Have you told ALL of them about the riscs in this action ??? I think not or why they now write these strange letters ???
I wonder about this immense stupidity........... you protest now against Shell and Gazprom.........where you get fuel from for your vessels polluting the Arcitic ??? BP, Esso, Statoil ??? Nothing bad with these companies ????
I would like to know your statement............to buy petrol for my car in future in right place !!!!
Yesterday me + my wife have ordered flight ticket to Moscow from 28th november to 10. of january. Some people knowing Russia might know why we first take home that date........... reason is Рождество Христово
But even from Moscow I will follow the futrure "development" of GP's offers and I will go and see the tremendous protest of Greenpeace in front of Gazprom Headquarters together with some friends. And when there will be Court Session in Murmansk I will offer a flight ticket with Aeroflot or S7 to attend this event and see some "heroes" in Court. I have freind in Moscow, architect employing 15 people......... Maybe also a paid troll??? and I can stay with his sister and her husband as he originally before his studies was living in Murmansk. So I will have possibility to see what Greenpeace's affairs will be ........to free the Arctic 30!!!! With ALL the "experts" they state on their site they probably already have chartered an airplane driven by solarenergy to take their heroes home.................... Or latest in 15 years.........

I was looking at GP web site again............. on german web site I found areal dramatic issue like this:..........
ich bin jetzt seit 12 Tagen alleine in einer Zelle. Ich habe weder Bücher, noch Zeitungen, noch Fernsehen oder jemanden zum Reden.
Auf dem täglichen Spaziergang bin ich ebenfalls isoliert. Der Außenhof ist vier mal fünf Meter groß und von mächtigen Mauern und Stahlträgern eingeschlossen. Abgedeckt wird er von einem Dach, das keinen Sonnenschein hineinlässt.
Die einzige Gelegenheit, den Himmel zu sehen, ist durch mein Zellenfenster, das sich jedoch auf der nördlichen Seite des Gebäudes befindet. Das heißt: Überhaupt kein Sonnenlicht.
Das aggressive und unfaire Verhalten der russischen Behörden und Gazprom zeigt, wie wichtig es ist, dass die Entscheidungen über die Zukunft der Arktis von einer breiten Öffentlichkeit getroffen werden
For people who do not understand german language ( I suppose most of GP-people do not.......... :-) ) you can copy and paste it and get it translated by google.............
This poor guy is hold in russian prison........ Alone in a cell, no books, no newspapers, no TV........... nobody to talk with ......... What a GREAT tragic !!! I think he can talk with personell in jail !??? Good reason to learn russian language !!! What he was waiting ??? Room like in Hilton International with TV, internet etc ??? Already this shows the naivity of their actions !!! They get same conditions as every other russian gets who is accused for breaking the law. Nothing more, nothing less !!!! Only lot of lamentation and crying again from GP...............pattern as usual !!!!
I will take some pictutres of these brave heroes during Court Session in Murmansk and post them in internet............ same way like GP does, maybe only with some other more realistic texts !!??
I hope GP will get ALL the media attention they are searching for........... and I hope they also will support their "heroes" during next 15 years.
I will send letter to Marcos DIRECTLY to jail in Murmansk.......... NO reason to get it censored by some GP idiots in Switzerland !!! Isn't it amazing they give to you advice HOW to send a message to their "hero" ??? What is the reason for this action ??? Do you wnat to get adress of prison in Murmansk where he is enjoying the beauty of Arctic ???? :-)

> What are Presence speakers?
Back to the list
Go to Product Information
Last Update: 03/01/2011
Presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by CINEMA DSP. These effects include sounds that Filmmakers intend to locate a little farther back behind the screen in order to create more theater-like ambiance. Place these speakers at the front of the room about 0.5 - 1 m (1 -3 ft) outside the front speakers, facing slightly inwards, and about 1.8 m (6 ft) above the floor.
NOTE: The Presence speakers are also utilized if the receiver has the Dialog Lift feature that adjusts the height of the front and center channel sounds by assigning some of the front and center channel elements to the presence speakers. The larger the parameter, the higher the position of the front and center channel sound.

Ghana INTERPOL-supported operation leads to counterfeit medical products seizures
ACCRA, Ghana – An operation targeting pharmaceutical crime in Ghana, which included both training and operational support by INTERPOL has led to the seizure of thousands of illegal and fake medicines.
Operation Harmattan saw 50 officers from police, customs, health including the Food and Drug Board and the Bureau of Standards agencies carry out a series of raids in markets and pharmacies during the two-day operation (10-11 February) as part of the International Medical Products Anti-Counterfeiting Taskforce (IMPACT) supported by INTERPOL's OASIS (Operational Assistance, Services and Infrastructure Support) Programme in Africa.
Among the seizures were antimalarials, antibiotics and herbal medicines and to date, 25 people have been prosecuted with a further seven due before the courts. Ahead of the operation, specialists from INTERPOL's General Secretariat and the Medical Health Regulatory Authorities in the UK provided training to officers, supported by INTERPOL's Regional Bureau in Abidjan and the National Central Bureau in Accra.
The first of a series of planned interventions across West African, Operation Harmattan also saw the announcement by Ghanian authorities of the creation of a technical committee, bringing together involved agencies to ensure co-ordination in tackling counterfeit medical products and pharmaceutical crime.

Happ released from hospital after liner to head
Left-hander sustains head contusion and lacerated ear, placed on disabled list
ST. PETERSBURG -- Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ was released from a hospital Wednesday after sustaining a head contusion and a laceration to his left ear when he was struck by a line drive during Tuesday night's game against the Rays.
The Blue Jays said earlier in the day that Happ was responsive and doing well at Bayfront Medical Center, and he was scheduled to meet the media at 5 p.m. ET at Tropicana Field. Toronto placed him on the 15-day disabled list and brought up right-hander Edgar Gonzalez from Triple-A Buffalo.
The 30-year-old Happ was conscious at the time of his departure from Tropicana Field and Blue Jays players later said he remained responsive to the medical staff while laying face down on the ground after the incident.
"From what it sounds like so far, he's in stable condition, he's conscious and that's all we know so far," Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista said Tuesday night. "We're hoping he recovers well and it doesn't get serious. There's always a chance of concussion when you hit your head like that, and we're hoping he doesn't get any symptoms like that."
The incident occurred during the second inning, when Desmond Jennings hit a scorching live drive up the middle. Happ didn't have time to react and the ball hit the side of his face as the sickening sound of impact could be heard throughout the stadium. The ball ricocheted up the right-field line and Jennings made it to third as two runs scored.
Happ immediately dropped to the ground while holding his left ear. Replays would later show that when he removed his hand, there was blood that appeared to be coming from either the left side of his face or ear.
When play eventually was suspended, the Blue Jays' medical staff was immediately joined on the field by a team of on-site medics. Happ was placed onto a stability board, his head and neck were immobilized and he was then removed from the field on a stretcher.
Many of the Blue Jays' players had a look of disbelief and shock. The same could be said for Jennings and his Rays teammates, as the crowd at Tropicana Field remained silent as the situation unfolded on the field.
"He was responsive, he was responsive and talking to the guys," Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia said. "I didn't want to go out and touch him and maybe roll him over and do something I didn't need to do. I don't have any education on that.
"So the biggest thing was, you're trying to ask him, you know he's not okay, you're trying to hear if he's talking, he was talking and then the medical people were out there right away."
It was a situation that clearly had an impact in both dugouts, as the final result of a game -- a 6-4 Blue Jays victory -- was put on the back burner for at least one night.
"Really hope for him and his family everything's well, for the Blue Jays," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "It was a really scary moment and I trust that he's going to be fine. It puts some perspective on losses, too."
There was plenty of confusion and cause for concern in the immediate aftermath of the injury. When the ball bounced into right field, neither the players nor the umpires seemed exactly sure what to do.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons and head trainer George Poulis made a couple of steps toward the mound, but stopped because the play was still live. Even the players on the field momentarily paused, but eventually continued on as two runners came around to score and Jennings ended up on third base.
That's when play was suspended and the Blue Jays medical staff sprinted onto the field alongside multiple on-site medics from Tropicana Field. Play was put on hold for 11 minutes.
"As soon as it hit him, I started praying and then instinct is that you want to run out there and try to help him, but the ball's live, guys are running home," Arencibia said. "So, I was in-between wanting to run out there, trying to stay home and as soon as [Jennings] got to third base I ran out there. By that point, there's nothing I could really do."
Happ raised his hand to the crowd just before leaving the field on the stretcher, but that only brought so much comfort to the rest of his teammates.
"That was the first thing we noticed, he moved his legs and his arms," Blue Jays designated hitter Adam Lind said. "But it's tough to even look at a positive from that situation."

Top Ten Reasons to Hug your Cat
Hugging is Caring
Happy day! You either have decided to adopt a cat or kitten or already have a cutie at home. It's important to realize that the more love you show, the more you will get in return. Not sure if you should eschew affection and leave cats to their mysterious ways? Here are ten reasons why you should stop thinking that nonsense a give your cat a hug.
#10 Hugs are Good For You!
Have you ever been sad until you got a hug? Physical contact alone raises spirits, and hugs release those good-feeling endorphins that help chase away the blues! So next time you're feeling melancholy, pick up your cuddly cat and give them a gentle, loving squeeze. Who knows, you may be lifting their spirits, too!
#9 Cat Health Improves With Cuddling
Like you, the pet parent, cats can get a mood boost by receiving physical affection. This is especially important if you have only one cat, because cats understand their environment best through their highly developed sense of touch. If you are unsure about cat behavior, all you have to do is observe how they interact with each other in the wild, or indoors with you (and the furniture).
#8 Strengthen The Pet/Human Bond
When you first bring a new kitten or cat home, you may be armed with pamphlets on cat information and behavior. But that won't help if your new addition feels unsecure in their new surroundings. Once they're brave enough to come out from hiding, coax them gently with positive reinforcement and soft, loving hugs. Your cat will begin to feel right at home in no time.
#7 Unsure if You're Ready to Adopt?
Maybe you're not a pet parent, but besides casually looking up information on where to adopt a kitten, you're just not sure yet. If you follow up leads on friendly cats, a good way to know if you've met your future pet is to snuggle them. A responsive cat will be receptive to your affection, which is important if you have a household with small children.
#6 Free Stress Therapy
Sometimes, your life can become so hectic it frazzles your nerves. If you just don't have the time (or money) to fit a vacation or spa session into your busy schedule, hugging your cat will soothe those jangled nerves in no time.
#5 Good Kitty!
Cat behavior is alluring, mysterious and can be frustrating. Cats may be considered aloof, but in reality they're very social creatures. The more attention and positive reinforcement you give them, the less likely they are to develop aggressive or destructive behavior. Lavishing your cat with hugs may just be the key to raising a well-behaved and relaxed kitty.
#4 Loving Reassurance
Cats are creatures of habit and don't like disruptive changes in their immediate environment. From moving to a new location to making a new addition to your family, a cat may suddenly feel out of place or threatened. By reinforcing your bond with affectionate hugs, a cat will be much less likely to act out.
#3 Maximum Purr-fection
Scientific study (and natural curiosity) has led many people to try and discover the "why" of a cat's purr. Imagine the surprise when it was discovered that the sonic frequency aids in reducing pain and accelerating healing! From sore muscles to mending bones, holding a purring cat close can actually help alleviate physical pain.
#2 Empty Nest Syndrome?
An adult cat is roughly the size of a human infant. So if your kids have gone off to college or no longer need babying you may find that your cat welcomes the extra attention and hugs.
#1 Celebrate June 4th All Year Long!
Of course National Hug Your Cat Day is a wonderful excuse to show your cat extra affection, but it's best if you practice it year-round. And if you don't have a cat, then now is your chance to consider adopting one. Cats make excellent cuddle buddies!

Well, we can't eliminate you ever having to deal with returns or exchanges, but with these few tips we can make sure it's rare.
The first, and perhaps most important thing is to get proper measurements of your kid. You can either take it yourself using our Measuring guide or take help of a local tailor. The hassle to measure Chest, Waist (around naval button), Length from Shoulders to ankle and Shoulders would be relatively lesser than going for exchanges / returns.
Second, every dress has size guide given along for your reference. Match the measurements with the one you have taken to pick the correct size. Remember, one Designer's size 2 can be another Designer's size 4.
Last, if you are still finding it difficult to pick the right size, please connect with us on +91 9599342065 (Available on WhatsApp also) / email@example.com. You may also send us the measurements of your kid by filling the Custom Tailoring Form given along with every dress or on WhatsApp alogwith your Order id.
Still not happy with the fit? We would get the dress back to our studio and do the alterations. You simply have to contact us and tell us what size / measurements you would like us to use or you may also send along a sample dress for us to get the right measurements.
We do take custom orders. Please click here for more details.

text: Yeah, that is basically true. I don't really know a lot of middle-stage starters that are REALLY great, though. For me, Dewott proved less useful (to scale) than Oshawott had, but that may also be because I evolved him at, or just before, Castelia Gym. That or maybe it just always seems like the longest stage. Except with Croconaw.

The membership here pulled together and now BimmerBoost.com is happy to present its free N54 flash utility available for download under the downloads tab you should see toward the top of this page. The fact that this community was able to accomplish what nobody else had in record time speaks for itself. BimmerBoost.com proves the best and brightest the BMW tuning community has to offer reside here. Quality over quantity prevails.
This is a monumental achievement for several reasons. One, BimmerBoost users showed they will not just sit around and complain about vendors taking advantage of them. They will do something about it and do something they have. Secondly, it shows how powerful this network of websites has become essentially opening up tuning for a platform where codes are guarded like nuclear secrets not only by BMW but by tuners themselves. That speaks volumes to the resourcefulness and talent of this community.
I would personally like to thank the community here and express my respect and gratitude. These members in particular deserve a thanks from everyone for helping make this happen:
@Terry@BMS @klipseracer @Roy Cormier @ajm8127 @flash guy @lulz_m3
To the members who donated for cables, spare ecu's, etc., please PM me if you would like to be added to the names listed to get your due credit as I did not keep a list of the names. I will edit you into this post.
It's interesting to note that it was the vendor who attempted to extort the community (again) that helped this happen as quickly as it did. If it was not for burning the wrong bridges in the past certain people would not be as galvanized as they were. He essentially shot himself in the foot a long time ago. Bravo sir, my hat is off to you. Your own greed and arrogance cost you money and put a forum you try to keep down in the strongest position it has ever been. I want to send you a fruit basket filled with Procede's.
Regarding source code, due to said vendor stating he wished to take the code others have worked on it will be distributed under a license by BimmerBoost.com to developers. This is also to prevent individuals who have expressed a desire to steal the software and then sell it illegally profiting off the free and honest work of members here. The software license agreement covers distribution, simply look it over. Android ports for mobile devices are in the works as well as specific editions for tuning options such as the BMS JB4. All versions are developed under the copyright BimmerBoost.com holds (AND WILL ENFORCE) on the software.
Thank you to everyone involved and those who supported the effort. It is interesting the youngest and smallest (by volume) of the major BMW sites is having the biggest impact in real world tuning for its users. Who really is the best? I leave that up to you to judge.
This is just the beginning. As you have noticed our new downloads section above allows members to exchange files and maps. A member can upload a tune they created themselves to get feedback for example or have others test it. A member can upload a file specifically for a certain type of fuel. A member can upload a private download that only their tuner can access and the tuner can then post this same private file for the user to download. A member can specify what other members can download their file. There are a multitude of options.
Going forward, BimmerBoost hopes to open up tuning on multiple BMW platforms. The N63/S63 motors hopefully will come next but let's all just be happy for now that this even took place.
On a personal note, I hope the N54 community in particular realizes the enthusiasm that started this site is alive and well as proven by this collaboration. There is a large difference between playing around and trolling forums and then actually concentrating that energy into something productive. This is the result of positive practice and effort, not irrelevant OT posting/flaming. One should be paid attention to, the other should not.
Congratulations to the N54 community and the BimmerBoost community, you changed the course of BMW tuning history today.

How can Pacific BMW not let a potential buyer test drive the car yet allow their employees to go run wild with it? The buyer also claims Pacific BMW did not inform him the car he bought was abused or that it was on the news and an ongoing story. As a matter of fact, the owner wrote on a message board that the manager over at Pacific BMW was angry at the news outlet for not covering "real news" as he termed it. Absolutely insane that the manager would get angry at the media for exposing what Pacific BMW employees were doing with cars for sale and then Pacific BMW has the audacity to charge over sticker for that same car.
The owner is getting his attorney involved and rightfully so. Pacific BMW should step up and do the right thing after a string of mistakes and refund the entire markup and then some. There are many users here who have purchased cars whom we know would not let this slide especially on a high end car they take pride in ownership of. To allegedly fail to disclose that this was the car abused, ask money over sticker for that same vehicle, and deny test drives after employees took joy rides in it is simply insane and completely unprofessional. We can not recommend for any user here to do any business with Pacific BMW who clearly has failed to for one act as a BMW dealer should and secondly rectify the situation properly. We recommend users call BMWNA to complain and to also forward this article to the general manager at Pacific BMW, Steve Lindstrom.
Watch the video below and you tell us if the dealer should have disclosed this especially when daring to ask $10k over on the same car. Contact Pacific BMW here to voice your displeasure and help our fellow enthusiast get his money back. How would you feel if you just paid $10k over sticker only to see your car being taken for a joyride by employees who were later fired for that same act? He thought he was buying a pristine car and should not be paying for the mistakes of a dealer: http://www.pacificbmw.com/contact-form.htm

I'm about to leave for the airport after a super busy week in Taiwan. I met with dozens of manufacturers and saw some fantastic new products. There are now a few manufacturers here that are ready to challenge Campy, Shimano, and TA at the very top of the quality range. Here are some of the items we're working:
- A Japanese cartridge bearing headset that's as nice as any available in the world.
- A VO cartridge bearing headset that's close to the above in quality, but half the price in both 1" threaded and 1-1/8"-threadless sizes. High polish and, maybe, gold/orange anodized finish will be available.
- Aluminum fenders made by a new process that have the potential to be nicer than Honjos.
- Leather saddles that appear to surpass Brooks in quality (but only three models are available). Also, matching bags.
- Two models of VO cartridge bearing pedals, track and all-around. The finish is close to that on the MKS RX1, but I don't have the exact specs on the available bearings yet.
- A very nice, but inexpensive 110bcd VO brand crank with 48/34 rings.
- Reproduction Rene Herse cold forged cranks and rings at under TA prices. This will take many many months of development, but the manufacturer loves the idea and they make some of the nicest racing components around, so quality may be better than the originals.
- VO sealed bearing alloy cup, hollow axle, bottom brackets.
- I examined the first sample of the new VO city bike frame, without paint, and was very impressed by the quality. They will ship two painted samples in a few weeks and if the paint quality is up to the build quality we should have finished frames in about 3-months.
- Straight post cantilever/centerpull brake shoes that are adjustable for toe-in with an 8mm wrench will soon be in the VO store. I have these in my briefcase right now and the first set is going on my bike. They are available only in black now, but we are ordering a run in silver.
- I'm not sure yet if we'll import them, but I examined a short reach racing brake that looks to be lighter, stiffer, and have better geometry than the current Dura-Ace. I looked at both at the same time, but didn't have a Campy Record caliper to compare it to. The manufacturer gave me a set for my Bottechia ;<)
- The new long reach VO caliper brake was tested by the manufacturer and a local racer; they claim that it is far stiffer and stops better than any long-reach caliper brake made today, including the Shimano R650.
Update: I'll keep adding details as I wait to board and later when I change planes in Osaka and in Detroit.

It's been a winter of content for Angels
Bullpen? Check.
Rotation? Check.
General manager Jerry Dipoto didn't allow himself to be held hostage by the Zack Greinke sweepstakes, and that's a difficult thing to do. Clubs focus solely on one star and become convinced they absolutely, positively have to have that star.
They figure they'll exhaust all their options before moving to a backup plan. Meanwhile, the market changes by the hour, with prices going up or down, with names coming off the board. Suddenly, clubs either can't fill their needs or have to overpay for them.
Dipoto identified players who were available and made the Angels better. Could he have done better by waiting for the January market to develop as unsigned players scramble to find work? Sure, he might have.
There's always an unknown in free agency. But no general manager was more aggressive in addressing his needs, and as the Winter Meetings ended Thursday, few general managers should be feeling better about his club.
OK, Dipoto has not landed Greinke, and with his payroll commitments already at $142 million, he seems unlikely to. He'd like to keep his payroll under last year's record $159 million, and if Greinke lands a $20-million-a-year deal, it probably won't be with the Angels.
If Dipoto does land Greinke, he might very well have the American League's best club. Without him, he'll have some question marks. And so will every other team.
Then again, the Angels left Spring Training this season as one of the consensus favorites to play deep into the postseason, and they ended up finishing behind the A's and Rangers in the AL West.
Regardless, Dipoto has improved his team, and not in a small way. First, he landed closer Ryan Madson. The Angels were tied for the AL lead with 22 blown saves in 2012, and if Madson's right elbow is sound -- and he says he'll be ready to go Opening Day -- the Angels will have taken a huge step for solving their biggest problem.
Then Dipoto got left-hander Sean Burnett, a proven commodity, for the bullpen, meaning that manager Mike Scioscia will have all kinds of options he didn't have in 2012.
Scott Downs and Ernesto Frieri will slide into different roles in 2013, either as one-batter specialists or to help get the game into Madson's hands. No matter how it plays out, the additions of Madson and Burnett appear to make the Angels way better.
Scioscia might also have right-hander Jerome Williams for the bullpen. Dipoto's signing of Joe Blanton gives the Angels six starting pitchers. This rotation doesn't look nearly as good as the one they ran out on Opening Day last season, but they couldn't have predicted the problems Ervin Santana and Dan Haren would have.
Allowing Haren to leave via free agency is a gamble, especially because he made such a nice adjustment down the stretch in learning how to pitch with diminished velocity. The Nationals were thrilled to add him to the back of their rotation, behind all those power arms.
So for the Angels, it's about having some of their starting pitchers regain their footing. They're confident a healthy C.J. Wilson will line up behind Jered Weaver in the rotation and that Blanton will throw his usual 180 innings.
To overtake the A's and Rangers, the Angels need Garrett Richards, a 2009 first-round pick, to take a step forward.
And there's Tommy Hanson, the one-time future ace of the Braves. He's still just 26 years old, and after an alarming drop in velocity last season, the Angels hope he still can be an impact starter.
Yes, that's a significant number of questions. But the game is funny like that sometimes.
At this time last season, the Angels seemed to have zero questions. Albert Pujols had been added to the middle of their lineup, and Wilson was going to be the finishing touch on baseball's best rotation.
The bullpen fell apart, Pujols started slowly and the Angels missed the playoffs for a third straight season.
Expectations will be more cautious this season. Mike Trout has given the Angels a dazzling presence at the top of the lineup, and if Dipoto is right about Hanson and Blanton, the Angels are plenty good enough to go back to the postseason.
If Greinke lands on their doorstep at an affordable price, they'll be thrilled. If he doesn't, they're still good enough to win their division.
"We're very, very comfortable and confident in the team that we're going to have," Scioscia said.
