CMCC views clash with CRIA views on Copyright
Drew Wilson | February 1, 2007
The CMCC (Canadian Music Creators Coalition) are making new waves with their recent comments about a record breaking year in digital sales in Canada.
Note: This is an article I wrote that was published elsewhere first. It has been republished here for archival purposes
The new argument says that because music sales have never been greater, there is no need to push for legislation that makes it easier for record companies to file lawsuits against alleged copyright infringers and make it illegal to bypass DRM (Digital Rights Management).
Matching a facelift to their own website, the CMCC issued a press release that says, "According to Nielsen, Canadian sales of music downloads grew an eye-popping 120% in 2006, well ahead of the 80% growth in Europe and 65% growth in the United States. Overall music sales grew 10%.
Despite this growth, recent Canadian Press reports indicate that the major foreign music labels continue to pressure the federal government to move forward with radical changes to Canada's Copyright Act.
Major label representatives have consistently said that the only way the industry can survive is by making it easier to sue music downloaders and by providing legal protection to so-called "digital locks." The member artists of the CMCC — the very artists copyright laws are designed to protect — aren't convinced."
The new movement comes a little less than a week after an Access to Information Act request from Michael Geist revealed that CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association), one of the major proponents to anti-circumvention and restricting copyright laws in Canada, was found to have private meetings with the minister of Heritage on a monthly basis – a recent one to discredit the start-up of the CMCC.
The press release continues: "The CMCC sees the 2006 sales numbers – and the continuing success of the private copying scheme – as a sign that there's no need to change Canada's copyright laws to enable record companies to sue our fans," explained Barenaked Ladies front man and CMCC co-founder Steven Page. "Our music download market is growing faster than those in the US and Europe. To us, that seems like evidence that the Canadian government should focus on empowering Canadian musicians and protecting Canadian consumers from potentially harmful technology."
"The industry seems to say that if you don't support suing downloader's you support giving music away for free," Page continued. "That's simply not true. In fact, there are numerous third-way alternatives out there. Changes to Canada's copyright laws should reflect where our music business is going rather than looking back to where it has come from. Propping up old business models that favour multinational record companies' interests ahead of those of Canadian artists just doesn't make sense."
While both sides of the copyright debate have been pushing opposing views for months, rumours circulated (originating from a Canadian Press story) back in mid-January that the Copyright reform bill was imminent. Unfortunately for some, the rumours turned out to be false, but it didn't stop the publication of a controversial Globe and Mail article which had many users leaving comments citing that it was nothing more then a PR move by multinational companies.
With either side continually butting heads, another report on 'The Hill Times' suggests that it's the controversies and the polarised sides delaying the copyright reform bill. It also suggests that the ministers are considering a "Fair Use" provision – the same kind of "Fair Use" seen in the United States.
The move comes when, for the second time, political attack ads raised copyright questions. Some say it's legal to use short movie clips because it's a form of criticism which is mentioned in the fair dealings provision already in place in Canada. Those opposed say that the political party did not obtain permission from the broadcasters; therefore, it's copyright infringement. It is because of such questions being raised that some are becoming hopeful that Fair Use might be brought into Canada.
Unfortunately, the rumours, as shown in the Hill Times article, suggest that the bill will not come until after the spring budget bill. It's that bill that some speculate could easily topple the government and, once again, put the country into another election. If that happens, the copyright reform bill would also, like Bill C-60, die on the order paper. The difference is that the Canadian public won't get a chance to see what the new reform bill will look like.

Global crisis needs global fightback
By Monica Moorehead posted on December 2, 2012
Breakout group on labor and austerity issues, Nov. 17.
WW photo: G. Dunkel
New York — Revolutionary communists and activists filled the hall of a beautiful Indigenous community center in Manhattan Nov. 17-18 for the annual national conference of Workers World Party. The theme of this year's two-day gathering was "Beyond the 2012 Elections: How to Get Back to the Struggle vs. the 1%."
Several hundred party members, friends and allies traveled to this city from the West Coast, the South, New England and everywhere in between for the conference. Hundreds more observed the conference via live stream. At least a third of the participants were under 35 years old, helping to fill the conference with revolutionary energy and optimism. WWP Secretariat members Sara Flounders, Fred Goldstein, Deirdre Griswold, Teresa Gutierrez, Larry Holmes and Monica Moorehead spoke on various panels.
The opening plenary session set the overall political tone for the conference, with a major focus on the worldwide capitalist economic crisis and the need for global struggle and solidarity. Gutierrez, an organizer with the May 1 Coalition for Worker and Immigrant Rights, and Larry Hales, a WW contributing editor, both gave motivational remarks on why People's Power Assemblies are important and timely to challenge capitalist rule. Goldstein, author of "Capitalism at a Dead End," spoke on the relationship between Marxist theory and practice. Holmes, WWP First Secretary and International Action Center co-director, spoke about the need to take the class struggle to a higher political level, including developing a global fightback perspective.
Eva Panjwani, a new member of the Durham, N.C., WWP branch and an organizer of the Sept. 1 March on Wall Street South (MOWSS), gave a moving welcome address. Tova Klein, from the San Francisco branch, chaired and read a WWP statement in solidarity with the people of Gaza who are resisting the latest round of Israeli terrorist bombing. Klein, who is Jewish, was born in occupied Palestine.
Building People's Power
The theme of the second plenary was "Fightback and Solidarity." Speakers included Ayende Ignacio Alcala, an Occupy Charlotte and MOWSS activist; Raul Jimenez, an organizer with the Farm Labor Organizing Committee in North Carolina; WWP national organizer Sharon Black and Southern Christian Leadership Conference Baltimore Chapter President Rev. Cortly "C.D." Witherspoon, both representing the Baltimore People's Assembly; North Carolina Student Power Union and MOWSS organizer Ben Carroll and United Electrical Workers Local 150 organizer Dante Strobino, both from the Durham branch; long-time United Auto Workers member Martha Grevatt and Moratorium Now! organizer Michael Shane, Detroit branch members; Steve Kirschbaum, former vice president of Steelworkers Local 8751 and Boston WWP member; and Eric Struch, Chicago branch member and WW writer.
Issues raised in the plenary included struggles against police brutality and racist repression; Walmart and low wages; student tuition hikes and debt; resegregation as well as the significance of the Chicago teachers' strike; and the need for a shorter work week. Cathey Stanley, from the Durham branch, chaired and read a statement from long-time WWP member and "Stone Butch Blues" author Leslie Feinberg, which included solidarity with CeCe McDonald, an imprisoned African-American transwoman.
A resolution was passed by the conference affirming to continue the struggle for freedom of all U.S. political prisoners, including Mumia Abu-Jamal, Leonard Peltier, the Cuban Five and Lynne Stewart.
The third plenary focused on "Hurricanes Katrina, Sandy: Climate Crisis, Capitalism and Socialism." The speakers were WW managing editor LeiLani Dowell; Deirdre Griswold, WWP founding member and WW editor; Imani Henry, a WWP national organizer and co-founder of Rainbow Flags for Mumia; WWP youth organizer and Occupy Wall Street activist Caleb Maupin; Betsey Piette, a representative of the Philadelphia WWP branch; and Brenda Stokely, a leader of the Million Worker March Movement and a founder of New York Solidarity Committee for Katrina Survivors. Peter Gilbert, from the Durham branch and an activist in the struggle against environmental racism, chaired the plenary.
Need for a fighting party
The theme of the fourth plenary was "Workers World across the Decades: Intergenerational Stories on What It Means to Be a Revolutionary." This panel featured four members of the WWP youth fraction: Dinae Anderson from New York, Tachae Davis from Detroit, Andy Koch from Durham and Summer Smith from Salt Lake City. Other speakers were John Parker, a leader of the Los Angeles WWP branch and West Coast coordinator of the IAC, and Monica Moorehead, a WW managing editor and editor of "Marxism, Reparations and the Black Freedom Struggle." The speakers summarized their unique paths to joining WWP.
The fifth plenary titled "Wars without End and the Need for Internationalism" focused on the struggles against imperialism and austerity, including South Africa, Palestine, Venezuela, Iran, China and Europe. The panelists were Abayomi Azikiwe, a Detroit WWP member and Pan African News Wire editor; Kazem Azin, an organizer with Solidarity with Iran; John Catalinotto, WW managing editor; Berta Joubert-Ceci, Philadelphia WWP organizer and Mundo Obrero editor; Bill Dores, New York WWP member and vice chairperson of external affairs of the International League of People's Struggle; Berna Ellorin, secretary-general of BAYAN-USA; Sara Flounders, IAC co-director and author of "War Without Victory;" and Fred Goldstein. The panel was chaired by Dianne Mathiowetz from the Atlanta branch.
The final plenary session was chaired by Julie Fry, a member of the New York Educational Committee. Featured talks were given by Detroit branch member Jerry Goldberg on party building and a summation by Larry Holmes. "This conference was mainly organized by young people. They basically told us when we were speaking," Holmes stated. The conference ended with the singing of the "International" in English and Spanish and chants.
The conference included three workshops: one for youth activists, an introductory guide to Marxism and revolutionary potential in communications and information. Organized by the WWP youth fraction, break-out groups around the theme "Fightbacks and Building People's Power" were held on the issues of labor and organizing against austerity; Occupy: What is it now and where will it go from here; repression and brutality: vigilantism, detentions, police murders; and anti-war and international solidarity.
Two open-mike sessions included a solidarity message from Mick Kelly, of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, whose members have been targeted by FBI repression; and René Imperato, activist in the WWP Committee for People with Disabilities. Cultural presentations were performed by Cameron Aviles from the Durham branch and Steve Gillis, Steve Kirschbaum and Frank Neisser from the Boston branch.
Following the conference, many of the participants joined their Palestinian sisters and brothers at a Times Square protest against the U.S.-backed Israeli bombing of Gaza. n

In the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre, the NRA proposed putting armed guards in schools to increase safety. Now, one town in Arkansas is doing just that—but with school staff rather than professional security guards.
With 53 hours of training under their belts, more than 20 administrators, teachers and school employees in Clarksville, Ark., will head back to school this August packing a 9mm handgun, AP reports.
Although most proposals to put armed guards in schools after Newtown went nowhere thanks to "resistance from educators or warnings from insurance companies that schools would face higher premiums," Arkansas already had a law on the books that allows "licensed, armed security guards on campus," according to AP. The extensive training school staffers in Clarksville received allows them to be considered guards.
Students will not know which faculty and staff will be carrying weapons, although signs will be posted at each school about the armed guards—already a greater deterrent than declaring schools as 'gun-free zones'.


Mildred Evelyn Eckert Carder, 94, died peacefully in her sleep on November 25, 2015 at Patriots Colony in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Born July 31, 1921 in Mason, Texas, she is predeceased by her parents, Kinney and Zilla (Wood) Eckert of Mason, Texas and her husband, John Thomas Carder of Johnson City, Tennessee.
In 1942, Mildred graduated from the University of Texas with not only a Bachelor of Arts degree but also a private pilot's license. Her love of flying led to a position as a Link instructor, teaching instrument flying to Navy cadets at the U.S. Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi, Texas, followed by selection for the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) training program at Avenger Field, Sweetwater, Texas.
*On September 8, 1944, Mildred and 58 of her classmates were awarded their WASP wings. Following graduation, she was assigned to Stuttgart Army Air Base in Stuttgart, Arkansas. WASP at this twin engine training base flew AT-10's, AT-6/s, UC-78's and UC-64's. Mildred was assigned to operations, where she flew weather hops, engineering check flights, utility hops and grave yard shifts to pick up pilots taking planes to storage.
After WWII, marriage, children, and traveling the world with her Air Force husband, the family moved to Jonesborough, Tennessee in 1963 where Mildred resumed her teaching career. She earned a Master of Arts degree from East Tennessee State University in 1973 and retired from the Washington County, Tennessee school system in 1984. Mildred loved to travel and read, never losing her enthusiasm for adventure and learning.
Mildred was a member of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, Phi Delta Kappa educational fraternity, Alpha Omicron Pi sorority, the Order of Daedalians association of military pilots, and the Williamsburg United Methodist Church.
Survivors include her two sons, Patrick Carder (Sandra) of Williamsburg, Virginia, and Kinney Carder (Virginia) of Leesburg, Georgia; three grandchildren: Charles Jonathan Carder (Joy) of Williamsburg, Virginia, John Clinton Carder (Margie), and Courtney Leigh Carder Paulson (Dan) of Leesburg, Georgia.
Mildred's six great-grandchildren of whom she was so proud are Olivia Grace and Charles Jonathan, Jr. (Jack) Carder of Williamsburg, John Griffin and Talley Grace Carder of Leesburg, and Makenna Elise Fisher and Connor Daniel Paulson also from Leesburg.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Patriots Colony, 6200 Patriots Colony Dr., Williamsburg, VA, at 3 p.m. Thursday, December 3, 2015. Graveside services will take place at 10 a.m. Monday, December 21, 2015, at Mountain Home Veterans Cemetery in Johnson City, Tennessee.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to the Wounded Warrior Project.
Please leave online condolences for the family at Nelsen Funeral Home.
"Out of the Blue and Into History" by WASP Betty Turner p. 459, Mildred Carder in her own words.
Virginia Lee Jowell Hagerstrom (Class of 43-W-4) was born December 12, 1920 in the small East Texas town of Frankston. She excelled in school and had her heart set on going to college, even though it was the middle of the depression. She managed two years at Lon Morris, a small Methodist college in nearby Jacksonville, by literally singing her way through in a small band that toured the state on weekends and holidays. She then transferred to Stephen F. Austin State Teachers College in Nacogdoches where she graduated with a major in English and a Spanish minor. While there she participated in the Civilian Pilot Training Program and after graduation went to work for Delta Air Lines in Atlanta as a ticketing agent. When the WASPs were organized, she applied and was accepted.
During her time at Avenger Field in Sweetwater she made friendships that lasted her entire life. She was still a WASP when she met her future husband, James P. Hagerstrom -- fresh back from his combat tour in New Guinea. They were both Army Air Force pilots passing through Orlando, Florida. He proposed three weeks later and they were married at Romulus Army Air Base, Michigan, where Lee was stationed, with a fellow 43-W-4 classmate Grace Clark Fender as maid-of-honor.
The couple settled in Houston and Lee taught school until the birth of her third child. With the outbreak of the Korean War her husband was recalled to active duty and he again flew combat missions (he became a double fighter ace, as he was also an ace in WWII). The fifties hosted the birth of five more children, and postings in Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Japan, and Hawaii. The sixties were spent in Southern California where Lee returned to teaching and her husband attended law school at night while finishing out his Air Force career, including a tour in Vietnam and Thailand.
In the seventies the family began a series of adventures on sailing yachts, even building one from the keel up. They sailed down the coast of Mexico, to Hawaii, and to Micronesia. The eighties first saw Lee and James in the Dominican Republic, and then back in Micronesia where Lee taught at the college and James was legal advisor for the local government.
In the early nineties the couple moved to a small town in northern Louisiana, where they spent their time gardening and enjoying visits from family. After the death of her husband in 1994, Lee lived with one or another of her children in San Francisco, Korea, Burma, Mexico, Maryland, and Texas. Her last years were spent near family on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. She died there, peacefully, on the morning of May 28, 2015.
A funeral service is planned for September. She will be buried, as WASP Lee Jowell Hagerstrom, with her husband in Arlington National Cemetery.
Respectfully posted by Lee's family.
*. Quote from Lee's interview with Wings Across America.
Meeting Lee Hagerstrom was a wonderful, unexpected blessing, as we walked into the WASP tent at Oshkosh in 2003. Lee was delightful, charming, energetic and warm and delighted to meet 2 fellow Texans.
Our second meeting with Lee was in Rio Rocco, Arizona. We turned on the video camera and were mesmerized by her stories and her enthusiasm for many hours. We will never forget her kindness and the beautiful sparkle her eyes when she talked about her family and about flying.
God bless all those whose lives were touched by this amazing WASP.
"I volunteered for the Air Force during the Korean conflict.
I assisted, then became CO WAF Squadron of 200 ladies for three years."
Andrea C. Shaw was born in Bakersfield, California on March 18, 1919. The facts of her early life story are brief, but her life was filled with service to her county, no matter what the challenge.
She entered WASP Training -- reported to Avenger Field, Sweetwater, Texas with 97 other hopeful young women pilots. After approximately 6 months of Army Air Force flight training, she was among the 48 proud graduates of class 43-8. She earned her silver WASP Wings and assigned to Merced Field, California.
From Merced she was transferred to March AFB, California; Hamilton AFB in Bakersfield, California; Chico AFB, Chico, California and Las Vegas, Nevada. At Las Vegas, she transitioned into the B-26. During her time as a WASP, she flew the BT-13, AT-6, UC-78, B-26 and A-24 (used by the Navy in the Battle of Midway). She was also one of a select group of WASP sent to officer training school in Orland, Fl.
Following the deactivation of the WASP, Andrea took charge of the road accounting department for Kern County, California. From 1951 to 1958, she volunteered to serve with the Air Force. She became Commanding Officer of a WAF Squadron for 3 years and was then transferred to England, where she served as a finance officer at a small hospital base.
After leaving the Air Force in 1959, Andrea earned her real estate license but eventually, took a civil service examination and was assigned to Anchorage, Alaska as a customs inspector. One of her most vivid memories was of the Good Friday Alaskan earthquake of 1964, which lasted 20 seconds and was classified 9.2 on the Richter scale. She later said, "It make 'Christians' of a lot of folks. It brought out the 'best' with everyone helping anyone in need.
Andrea later wrote of her life in Washington: "I have developed a liking for the challenge of building things. With no background for carpentry, I have managed to put a 10' x 12' dec and repaired a c'xi 16' second floor deck...nothing spectacular--but bound to outlast the Pyramids!
This special lady was truly one-of-a-kind. She had a lifelong love of country and neighbor. She took pleasure in building things and the beauty of the world around her.
God bless those whose lives she touched.

Theatre Love: Anything Goes Comes Spokane's Way
Any Theatre In Spokane Is Good Theatre
Spokane is a theatre kind of town. Really. You've got Ignite Community Theatre, SCC Players and SFCC Spartan Theatre, Interplayers Lake City Playhouse and Spokane Children's Theatre to name just a few. Spokane even gets its fair share of national tours thanks to the Best of Broadway series. And here is the kicker….this is how we know Spokane loves theatre. Seats get filled. Shows get sold out. Spokane comes to see live theatre, a lot! This year, Civic started off their season with Les Miserables, Interplayers with Brighton Beach Memoirs and Best of Broadway will be opening with Anything Goes. We like highlighting theatre events in our community and with the opening for Anything Goes right around the corner, we had a chance to ask one of the Anything Goes cast members a few questions. We thought we would share them with you!
Meet Alex Finke
Alex plays "Hope Harcourt", theatre credits include: Fiddler on the Roof (Tzietel), Legally Blonde (Serena) at MTWichita, Tarzan (Jane), Lend Me a Tenor (Maggie), at WagonWheel.
What is Anything Goes about?
Anything Goes is a tale of hi-jinx on high seas! The show takes place on board the S.S. American bound for England. Hope Harcourt is a debutant engaged to marry an Englishman, but trouble begins when it is discovered that the man Hope loves, Billy Crocker, has stowed away on the ship. There are love triangles, gangsters in disguise, an evangelist night club singer, mistaken identities, quick changes and general hilarity throughout the entire show.
Tell us why Spokane should see Anything Goes.
Spokane should come to the show because it is a show with something everyone will love. It's got the classic Cole Porter score paired with phenomenal dance numbers and it's so upbeat and happy. It's a show that puts a smile on everyone's face.
Tell us about the set (we are always curious about this part!)
The set is the S.S. American. It encompasses the entire stage and is bright white. The first scene of the show takes place in a dark bar so when the curtain reveals the ship with the sailors singing on deck it's really a breathtaking moment.
What about costumes (another favorite of ours)?
The costumes of Anything Goes are a very special element of the production. The tour is actually dedicated to the late Martin Pakledinaz. Anything Goes was one of the final shows he designed and his work on this show (as well as his many others) is simply incredible. The way everything moves and catches the light is stunning. The costumes are so elegant and give true character to the piece. I wish I could give a sneak peak but you'll just have to come see the show!
What is the watch for it moment of the production?
Audiences should get ready for the act 2 opening number "Blow, Gabriel, Blow." It is a show-stopper!!
Coming Up in the Spokane Theatre Scene
The aforementioned Anything Goes at the INB Performing Arts Center
Brighton Beach Memoirs at Interplayers
Last Weekend for Damn Yankees at Lake City Playhouse (this weekend)
Les Miserables at Civic (most shows are sold out – tickets available for the last weekend, 10/24 – 27)
Enter Fairy Godmother at SCT
So thank you Spokane for supporting theatre in our community. Now go out there and see a show! More interviews from other theatres in our community and from Civic coming up!

A Croydon man who started looking on the internet for funeral plans moments after being diagnosed with prostate cancer has bravely spoken about fighting the disease.
Life was never the same for Paul Leckey after he was told he had cancer in June 2015, but the 56-year-old has since battled courageously and is now cancer free.
Mr Leckey, who lives on Talbot Road, in Thornton Heath, has decided it is now time to share his story in an attempt to encourage as many men as possible to go and get checked.
"I was diagnosed in June 2015," Mr Leckey recalls. "For about a year or so I was having trouble passing water and in the end it was such a pain I went to the doctors and explained the symptoms.
"I was sent for a blood test and it came back that there was a possible problem with my prostate. That was how easy is was to diagnose, from a blood test.
"I then went for other examinations before being officially diagnosed with cancer. It's not a nice thing to hear, especially when you get a letter from the hospital advising you to bring someone with you for a meeting.
In the days that followed, Mr Leckey was left to ponder over that letter, and recalls looking at funeral plans online due to fearing the worst.
"One of the first things that crosses your mind is dying early and no one wants to think about that," he said.
But after the meeting at Croydon University Hospital, Mr Leckey, who works in the control rooms for City of London Police, went for a series of tests to determine how bad the cancer was, including an MRI scan and biopsy.
He was told by doctors he didn't have to have chemotherapy or radiotherapy to treat the cancer, and was advised to come back in three months' time for further tests.
One blood test and two further biopsies three months later left doctors concerned, as it appeared Mr Leckey's cancer was beginning to become aggressive, meaning there was a risk of it spreading.
In January 2017, Mr Leckey underwent surgery to remove the prostate and has now been told he is cancer free, news which he was obviously delighted with.
"Every three months I have to go for a blood test but hopefully it won't ever come back," he said.
According to Prostate Cancer UK, one man dies every 45 minutes in the UK from the disease.
One in eight white males will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, while this rate increases to one in four black males.
On June 23 Mr Leckey is attempting to ride the first road racing stage of this year's Tour de France, one week before the professionals do, in a bid to raise money and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK.
The ride is 195 kilometres long, or around 121 miles, and Mr Leckey is participating in the mammoth test of endurance along with a large group of others who have also been affected by cancer in the past.
Mr Leckey said: "I am doing it to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK because they do tremendous work in researching Prostate Cancer. It's also to raise awareness and I want to get out there and tell people prostate cancer is real but it's easy to detect and treat.
"Men don't like talking about health with their doctors but I want to help change that.
"If men go and get checked early on they can survive. I was lucky and other men can be lucky as well.

It's no secret that animal-derived options, especially red meat like beef and lamb, are wreaking havoc on the planet. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, making 1 pound of lamb generates 5 times more greenhouse gas emissions than making 1 pound of lentils. National Geographic says cutting consumption of animal products in half would ease precious water resources by 37 percent. Translation: More plants and less meat make for a happier Mother Earth.
But she wouldn't be the only one winning. Going plant-based has massive benefits on your own health, too.
The overall picture is a lot sunnier, too. A plant-based diet can decrease chances of developing Type 2 diabetes and curb cardiovascular disease. The proof is in the, er, meat: 1 gram of beef protein contains 23 times more saturated fat than 1 gram of protein from lentils.
That's why every Dang Bar is plant-based—it's about better-for-you nutrition that's better for the environment, too. Whether you're snacking on Saigon Cinnamonor Lemon Matcha, each recipe begins with pea protein, made by drying and grounding the namesake legume until it turns into a thin, flour-like consistency. Pea protein is easier to digest compared to other plant-based options, Rashid says, and thanks to its unique amino acid structure, it also helps in muscle recovery.
Dang Bars are also packed with almonds and chia seeds—two cornerstone ingredients of the keto diet. The former touts healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E and magnesium, while chia seeds rank as the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, one of the body's most potent anti-inflammatory agents.
Looking to add more plant-based proteins to your meals? Try hemp seeds on your acai bowl or salads—"hemp contains all 20 amino acids, including the 9 essential ones and is easily digestible," Rashid says—or try organic, non-GMO tofu in a yellow curry and scrambles.
Eat well and make the world a better place? Now that's some serious plant power.

ASUS has announced their G701VI gaming laptop, a new gaming laptop that contains a Skylake i7 CPU and an overclockable GTX 1080 GPU, making this compatible with both the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive.
This laptop also contains a G-Sync compatible 120Hz display, which runs at a resolution of 1080p, making this laptop suitable for high refresh rate gaming with minimal input lag and no visual tearing.
The ASUS ROG G701VI can use either an i7 6700HQ or an i7 6820HK processor with the option to have up to 64GB of 2400MHz DDR4 memory. This laptop will also come with a 512GB PCIe SSD and support USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt 3.
This laptop will cost £3099.99 and will be available soon at Scan and Overclockers UK.
You can join the discussion on the ASUS G701VI gaming laptop on the OC3D Forums.
Would have been nice if it was a 1440p screen instead as well. Perhaps even 4k since it has G-Sync.
There is only one brand that will do it and you know who that is.
Woah! I understand the want to have a portable gaming powerhouse. This is way to pricey to even consider. Personally I would look at building an extreme SFF case build first. for less than 2K you could build an awe inspiring system with a full GTX 1080. I just don't get it. Its big, ugly and heavy.
My last notebooks have been from Clevo and Gigabyte.

34 The Lord Jesus said, A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Do you have more than one Message church in your city? Imagine if all those Message churches would come together in the unity of the Gospel and the Love that Jesus spoke of. What common ground do we all have that could do such a thing? Only one thing: the Message of the hour spoken by the prophet of the hour. We ALL agree on that Malachi 4 Message.
These churches in Zambia are setting the example for the whole world. The following is a report from our Zambia office who organized a gathering attended by eight local churches. From the report, it sounds like the churches set aside their doctrinal difference to come together on the Bride's common ground.
The Zambia VGR team recently had a successful joint Tape service and Quiet Time with eight Message churches from Choma, which is in the southern province of Zambia and about five hours away from the Zambia VGR office. There were well over 500 Believers who attended this meeting, and it was truly an amazing experience to be a witness of how the Lord blessed us all and brought many churches together in unity to listen to this precious Message of the hour!
We left Lusaka the day before the meeting was scheduled and arrived shortly after 9pm. After a night of rest, our team quickly got busy with preparations at the venue location, cleaning, checking the PA system, setting up the chairs, and making sure everything else was set before the Believers started to arrive.
Once the meeting was underway, there was a beautiful song service directed by a local song leader from one of the churches. After song service, we gave a presentation on the projects VGR is working on. Explaining to them about the microSD cards and Agapao Tablets and all the distributions containing different languages. We also spoke to them about Quiet Time and what a blessing young people around the world are getting from this encouragement to spend more time speaking to the Lord and seeking a closer walk with Him.
After the presentations were over, the believers rejoiced as an encouraging letter from Bro. Joseph was read aloud to them. They were overjoyed to hear where he mentioned that as God chose Moses to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt, He gave us a prophet with the vindicated Word to lead us through our day and to guide us through the many trials, temptations, and evil that the enemy tries to beset us by.
Notice, this angel is the last messenger before the coming of Christ in the 19th chapter of Revelation. The messenger's Voice! If we notice, when he gave his Voice on the earth, there was a Voice echoed again in Heaven, 4th verse, if you want to read it, all right, 4th verse, the 19th chapter. This messenger on the earth was so inclined with God until, when he spoke it on the earth, God echoed the same thing out of Heaven.
The tape ministry is a worldwide thing, everywhere. I think it's one way God has got scattering the Message back into the heathen lands, back in where that it has to be translated. And in Germany, and so forth, they got tapes they go to their congregations, of hundreds and hundreds of people; and put little things in their ears, and run it onto a tape. And just as I'm speaking, the minister stands there making the same expressions, and in the other languages, and bringing it out before hundreds. And hundreds are being saved and healed, just through the tapes going out across the world. All in English, but being translated in many, many different language in tribes around the world. We hear from them, back through the mail.
The rejoicing continued as the anticipation grew stronger to hear the Word! We were very happy to also have our Chitonga translator with us in the meeting, as the Message we were getting ready to hear was 59-0125 "Be Certain Of God" translated into Chitonga! His heart must have been more excited than ever before, as he beheld the fruit of his labors.
As we listened to the Message, Brother Branham spoke and the Chitonga audio translation followed. You could see the excitement and love that these believers had for this Message as they acknowledged the precious Word that they were hearing! It was truly a precious spirit among each one of us there, and it was evident that this was a truly special meeting.
After service, we had pastors come to us and encourage us to keep up with these events that promote unity amongst believers, despite differences of opinions about the Message. Others confessed that they had not met one another in many years, even though they live in the same town. It took over 30 minutes for believers to disperse as they enjoyed fellowship with one another.
After such a blessed service, we were overjoyed and tired at the same time, but there was no time to rest! The young people arrived back at 3:30pm, where a snack and drink was served before we could encourage them to be spending more time in God's Presence. It was such an encouragement to them as another letter from Bro. Joseph was read to them aloud. He uplifted their hearts as he expressed to them that God provided a control tower in the midst of the heart for guidance to be a service to Him. He also encouraged them to have Quiet Time all the time, and that Bro. Branham said that God can't ignore when all those prayers go up at the same time, as they would soon be all praying together.
Our Quiet Time arrived at the setting of the sun, and approximately 130 young people walked out of the building to a beautiful lawn, where they sat quietly and spent a quality time of fellowship with Father.
In conclusion, we are so joyful to return home after such a prosperous service of eight different churches gathering together to listen to Bro. Branham together which has never happened in Zambia, and then receiving another blessing by encouraging the young people and gathering together to have some Quiet Time.
Thank you so much Bro. Joseph for sending us to Choma, and thank you Brothers and Sisters for your support.

iWatch Rumor Roundup: Everything We Think We Know (Updated)
Eric Limer
Filed to:iwatch
If it feels like the promise of an Apple smartwatch has been looming forever, that's because it has. And its shadow helped birth the army of other smartwatches that we have today. But now, finally, the near mythical iWatch is rumored to arrive very soon. We'll be covering today's announcement live right here, but in the meantime here's what we think we know.
Our iPhone 6 Liveblog Starts Right Here Right Now
Welcome friends! Today, Apple's going to take the wrapping off of the iPhone 6, possibly a larger…
What's it called?
Colloquially, Apple's upcoming watch has been referred to as an iWatch, though there's not evidence that this might be its name outside of it following Apple naming conventions. Information about the size of its screen and the bevy of health features it will include suggest it might be actually be more of a "health bangle" anyway. Apple has acquired the trademark to "iWatch" in a number of countries, though that's pretty soft evidence.
Apple has filed patents for a wearable device with swappable screen modules that makes a reference to something called iTime, so that's a possibility as well, though Apple would probably be wiser than to blow the real name in a patent.
iTime: Smartwatch Patent Shows Apple's Broad Ambitions
This morning the folks over at AppleInsider discovered that Apple was granted a patent today for…
For our purposes, we're going to keep calling it the iWatch and hope that Apple has something more clever up its, er, sleeve.
One of the big (rumored) differentiators for the iWatch is design. That is to say, the iWatch is supposed to look good, unlike most of the other, grosser-looking options that are available right now. (Excluding the Pebble Steel and the Moto 360, of course.)
Evidence of this is backed up by a number of hires that Apple has made in the past few years. Hires like former CEO of Yves Saint Laurent Paul Deneve and Senior VP of Retail Angela Ahrendts, who helped revitalize Burberry as CEO without abandoning its heritage. We're talking legit fashion people, as opposed to tech people with an eye for pretty things.
What will all those expensive salaries come up with though? That's a much bigger question. We've seen concepts left and right, and although some of them look nice, none of them quite has that Apple flair. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot of information on what the iWatch will look like. No physical leaks of any sort. In a broader sense that iTime might offer some clues, as it shows a watch-type band with modules that can snap in and out. It's similar to the WIMM One from WIMM Labs, a recent Google acquisition.
These sketches are broad, though, as patent sketches are, and it's meant to cover functionality not design, so it's of little help. Not to mention that patents aren't necessarily indicative of actual products; companies patent things all the time with no intention of ever actually making them. A slightly more substantial and interesting pair of reports came from Reuters and the Wall Street Journal, suggesting respectively that the iWatch could have a 2.5-inch screen, and that it might come in different sizes.
A 2.5-inch screen for a traditionally-shaped watch is nuts. The clunky Galaxy Gear clocked in at a mere 1.63-inches. So if the 2.5 inch screen rumor is true, it suggests something either more like a curved bracelet, or a giant hunk of Apple on your wrist. What does seem like a sure thing is that the iWatch will have an unscratchable sapphire glass watchface, due to recent evidence that Apple is producing "jewelry-grade" slices of the stuff. But other than that, the options are still pretty excitingly open.
Update: The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the options might be even more open than we thought; the iWatch could very well come in not one but two different form factors. Maybe one larger one like a bangle and a smaller one that looks more like a traditional watch, or maybe something even wilder. There's no telling how different these two different versions might be, and they could range anywhere from subtle changes to practically different products.
The iWatch will undoubtedly do all your standard smartwatch things, like show notifications and other handy data on your wrist. You've already seen that in Android Wear. But assorted rumors, as well as a number of hires over the past year or so, suggest that iWatch's big differentiator is going to be fitness and health. Apple's recent announcement of "Health" app—which is just begging for a watchlike sensor device to supplement it—makes those differentiating features even more plausible.
Apple's iWatch will almost certainly include the full suite of existing fitness tracking capabilities. We're talking an accelerometer plus a gyroscope plus a magnometer plus an altimeter, all the (somewhat precedented if also extravagant) guts it would take to accomplish accurate step-tracking, sleep-tracking (Apple has a sleep specialist on staff), golf-swing-tracking, etc. And when it comes to fitness tracking, it's worth noting that Tim Cook is a big fan of the FuelBand and sits on Nike's board. Then there's the part where Nike seems to have jettisoned its whole FuelBand team. Maybe to go in on something with Apple? Who knows.
But the iWatch will likely go beyond "fitness" and on into straight-up "health." The WSJ reports that the iWatch has no less than 10 different sensors. What those might be isn't known, but possibilities include things like a (high quality!) heart rate monitor; Apple hired the Chief Medical Officer at a company that made a pulse-tracking iPhone app. It could even get as serious as blood sugar measurement, as Apple picked up a few medical researchers with experience making devices that read glucose levels by looking at sweat. Not to mention that Cupertino's health monitoring ambitions are probably serious, considering high-level Apple officials have recently been chatting with the FDA.
WSJ: Apple's Smartwatch Will Come in Different Sizes, Pack 10 Sensors
Hot on the heels of a Reuters report yesterday, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple is…
As for hardware specs—battery life, chipset, charging method, screen resolution—we're pretty up in the air. No hard specs have leaked, though it's reasonable to assume that the iWatch will rock an Apple chip (duh), something involving the M7 or its successor.
Hopefully the battery life will be in the neighborhood of "long as hell" considering that a ~1 day life is a problem nearly all current smartwatches deal with. Wireless charging would also be a smart move, just for ease of charging and the ability to eliminate an unsightly port, though Apple's shown no real interest in wirelessly charging gadgets before.
Update: A report from the Wall Street Journal has helped flesh out specs information a bit. The iWatch will apparently have NFC, not only for the purpose of pairing the device with the new iPhones (which are also rumored to have NFC), but also so you can use an iWatch to do things like buy your morning coffee, or unlock the door of your hotel room. The WSJ also says the iWatch will have a curved OLED display. Both the NFC and the curved OLED have since been confirmed by the NYT, which also mentions the inclusion of wireless charging for the iWatch, a little surprising since wireless charging is still up and coming, but if anyone can solidify the field by staking a claim, it's Apple.
WSJ: The iWatch Will Come in Two Sizes and Have NFC
Most of the rumors about Apple's upcoming product launches have swirled around the iPhone 6, which…
Another Update: Over at 9to5Mac, the steadfastly reliable Mark Gurman tells us that the iWatch will be able to run wearable-optimized third-party apps, downloadable from an iWatch section of Apple's App Store, making the iWatch slightly more Samsung Gear than Android Wear. Gurman reports that Apple began handing out the iWatch SDK to notable iOS app makers very recently, and that Apple's wearable will use iOS 8's new features to exchange content between iPhone and iWatch. Meanwhile reports from the Information hint at a "disappointing" battery life. No specific numbers are floating around but the Information reports that Apple employees have "set low expectations" for the wearable's battery.
Probably expensive. There have been no particularly strong leaks on pricing, though analysts have thrown around a $300 figure (which does not mean a whole lot). Currently, the smartwatch market is filled with offerings hovering around $200, with "luxury"-type watches like the Pebble Steel and the Moto 360 reportedly hitting highs of $250.
But if Apple is looking to combine fashion with aggressive monitoring, it seems unlikely that it would attempt to compete on price. Beyond that, if the iWatch really does contain the ridiculous amount of sensors it's rumored to have, production costs are going to be high. Sapphire glass alone is expensive. But with a good enough look and and impressive enough functionality though, it's possible to see how Apple could put out a $400 or $500 device $400 and still sell plenty.
Probably not right away. Until just recently, the iWatch reveal was expected to happen in October, as opposed to during the September iPhone event. The announcement may have been pushed up, but it's seems pretty unlikely (though still possible) that the iWatch would be available day-and-date with an announcement on September 9th. Still, if we do get our first glimpse of the iWatch in two weeks, it seems almost certain that it'll hit shelves before the holiday season.
Update: Sources tell Re/code (specifically the historically reliable John Paczkowski) that the iWatch will actually not be available until early 2015. Ouch.
Report: Apple Won't Ship Its iWatch Until 2015
You know that rumored iWatch we've heard is debuting at Apple's September 9 event? We might see it,

Huge Clue Revealed In University Of Idaho Murders – One Kill 'Significantly More Brutal' Than The Rest
jonathan-adam December 5, 2022
Was one particular victim the only true target of the University of Idaho killings?
As you've no doubt heard, on November 13 Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, and Madison Mogen were found brutally murdered in their off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho. But it turns out the level of brutality was not equal across the board — a fact which could provide a huge clue about the slaughter.
See, whether the quadruple murder was random or personal will make all the difference in solving the crime — and that's why it's been such a big deal that the Moscow PD haven't been exactly clear about their theory. However, Steve Goncalves is all about transparency, and he may have just explained how cops came to their conclusion this was a targeted attack — specifically targeting his daughter.
Speaking to Fox News over the weekend, Kaylee's grieving father spilled new details the police seem to want to keep quiet — details which explain why he thinks his daughter was the intended victim.
Related: Spared Roommates Break Silence On Murders
First, he reasoned the killer had to go out of his way to get to her. As he previously stated, Kaylee and lifelong bestie Maddie Mogen were sharing a bed. That bedroom was on the third floor of the house, meaning the murderer had to go out of his way to get to them — bypassing the rooms of the surviving roommates. The other two victims, Xana and her boyfriend Ethan, were in a room on the second floor — where the sliding door was located. Steve explained:
"To me, [the killer] doesn't have to go upstairs. His entry and exit are available without having to go upstairs or downstairs… I'm using logic that he chose to go up there when he didn't have to."
As for why he thinks the target was his daughter and not her BFF Maddie? It's a sensitive subject, but he chose to speak candidly — unlike the cops. He revealed:
"I'll cut to the chase — their means of death don't match. They don't match. Their points of damage don't match. I'm just going to say it. It wasn't leaked to me. I earned that. I paid for that funeral. I sent my daughter to college — she came back in a box," he said. "I can speak on that."
While all the students were stabbed to death, NewsNation confirmed Kaylee's injuries were "significantly more brutal" than any other victim. That means she was killed even more viciously than Xana Kernodle — who was the only victim with defensive wounds, implying she woke up and fought back.

Former CIA and FBI agent Tracy Walder weighed the ramifications of this new information to the outlet, explaining:
"I have been saying for a while and that some of the ways that we can know that this is a targeted attack is in the manner in which some of these victims were killed. And I want to be sensitive, obviously, to these parents and to their friends and family. But what you might see in a situation like this is sort of a gross overkill of one victim versus the others who may be simply just gotten in the way and I believe that that's what her father is referring to."
It's now been three weeks since the murders, and Steve Goncalves and his family's frustration at the lack of progress is palpable. He told both Fox News and NewsNation how upset the family was. Kaylee's mother, Kristi Goncalves, told the former:
"We just have no information as a family. And it's tough, day after day after day. I mean, every day you just wake up and think, 'Today's the day we're going to hear something,' and you see these, 'Oh, there's a break in the case,' and it'll just be something stupid."
In particular Kristi pointed out to NewsNation that the police wouldn't disclose the alibis of early interviewees to the family — leaving them in the dark. In her mind it's still unclear why some of these people were cleared:
"I just feel like there's been a couple individuals that were cleared very fast that maybe should not have been."
That lack of transparency explains both why Steve is willing to give the press more information AND why the family has gone ahead and hired a private investigator.
In another interview with the NY Post on Sunday the mourning dad said he became bothered realizing how "inexperienced" the Moscow PD murder investigation team is with, well, murder. He explained:
"So they're just inexperienced — and I don't want anyone making mistakes in my child's case."
He noted for instance how the local cops are "not exactly the most tech-savvy people" — something that could be really important as an increasing number of cases are cracked by suspects' and victims' cell phones giving away their locations. Another big problem for him? The PD's refusal to release even the most basic profile of the killer — something that could "give all these other girls that are walking around that community somebody to look out for."
The most upsetting thing? One suspicious person in particular being let go so quickly. There was a man wearing a hoodie who was spotted hanging around Kaylee and Maddie shortly before the murders. And that person was cleared WAY too quickly to his thinking:
"Some people came to us and said that he's out of the country. He didn't take a DNA test."
Oof. We can see why he'd be upset. Steve says after the family had "enough insiders telling us we should be concerned" he decided to speak to private investigators with more experience:
"One of the private detectives I talked to has 50 years in the game."
Whether it's private investigators or police, we just hope the killer is brought to justice quickly — so the family's closure can begin and the community's terror can end.

Relax in the beautiful outdoors under protection of the Bambrella 10' Side Wind Sirocco Round Bamboo Cantilever Umbrella. This cantilever style umbrella offers the same UV protection as a market style umbrella, only without the center pole. This will leave you more room to add other chairs or tables, or just to enjoy more open space. Bambrella umbrellas are made from 100% solid laminated bamboo strips, which reduces the impact on the environment. Utilizing the strength and durability of bamboo strips, these umbrellas are naturally resistant to weather, splitting, rot, warping, mildew, and mold. The strength, hardness, and density of bamboo is superior to that of most hardwoods, and is comparable to steel. A protective oil finish enhances the deep, golden color while retaining the natural feel of the bamboo.

All thanks to Jox and his man-Burpee pics.
The title of this thread and what I posted is in perfect sync. What the problem is?

He doesn't need to warm-up before sammisch-season begins so I'd guess he's just sleeping.
Thank you Jox for reviving this thread.

Jailed: Woman who invited hit man to kill her husband to prevent another woman, Jasmine, from winning her over gets life in prison

Vanessa Coleman sat quietly as Justice Kathleen Sullivan read out her long list of charges against her and told the federal jury in New York on Thursday to recommend she receive a very long prison sentence. She was convicted of ordering a hit on her abusive husband in 2009. And on Thursday, she was sentenced to life without parole.
At the opening of the trial, the accused hit man, Bart Freundlich, testified that Coleman hired him to kill her husband, Mykelti Howard, and his 15-year-old daughter, Jasmine. He also testified that, on the night of the killings, she gave him an agreement: kill two, or he would kill her as well. At the end of the trial, the jury convicted both Freundlich and Coleman of conspiring to kill Howard and Jasmine.
On Thursday, at the sentencing hearing, Butler described the drugs that Coleman used to lure her husband to a remote forest for murder. She detailed the same night of the killings.
Butler said that Coleman had set up a fake marriage to Howard in order to form a marriage certificate with a new husband she had met online — something that Butler said the prosecution had also not disputed. But when Howard came back from the Dominican Republic to the marital home on Long Island, the sergeant said, Coleman became terrified of the relationship. Her main concern, he said, was not the man who showed up on the patio wearing a bulletproof vest, but the beautiful teen next door who she believed may be able to win over her marriage to Howard.
Still, Coleman was adamant that she didn't want Howard dead, her former co-defendant testified. She and her supporters cried in the courtroom as Butler described how she uttered words of reassurance to Freundlich before he went into the woods to kill Howard. "I'm not asking you to do this," she said. She also told Freundlich that if he killed Howard, he would still have "got a kiss from Jasmine."
Freundlich instead killed Howard, tried to kill Jasmine, and fled. But when he realized he had not killed her, Coleman ordered the hit on Jasmine. Freundlich went home to his wife and two daughters. They told police who he was. At trial, Coleman's attorneys claimed that she could not have ordered the hit because she did not know the identity of the actual gunman. "It was his plan, he carried it out," said Coleman's attorney, Arman Javidian.
Butler disputed that. "She had to know — she personally gave this order," he said.

Amazon invades Twitter with hashtag purchases :: Boffer Ecommerce News!
If you're an experienced Amazon customer you will be very aware that Amazon remembers everything, even that potato peeler you glanced at for two seconds, over two years ago. Amazon remembers all and will remind you every day you log on. Now imagine that extending to your Twitter page!
Rather than making drunken rendezvous with social networking even more dangerous by adding in online shopping, #AmazonCart will function as a reserve or "buy it later" button by connecting it to your Amazon account. We can all have a sigh of relief. Once linked, responding with the hashtag to any tweet containing an Amazon product URL will automatically add it to your shopping cart. While I applaud Amazon for taking advantage of social networking sites and constantly pursuing simpler methods for their customers to make purchases, the reasoning behind the sudden existence of this feature extraneous .
"While a novel idea, I think AmazonCart is a solution in search of a problem," Patrick Salyer, CEO of social infrastructure provider Gigya, informed Wired.co.uk. "Amazon has perfected the art of online purchasing and checkout on its own properties. Getting consumers to change their shopping behaviours can be extremely difficult and consumer adoption will likely be a major hurdle."
Conversely, Salyer also adds that shopping has always had a social element. "It`s important to note that retailers often see purchases start on social networks like Twitter when consumers share products from retailers` sites and recommend those products to their friends. This can generate significant revenue for those retailers -- Dell most notably touts the revenue it has generated from Twitter referrals. However, concepts like "f-commerce" [online storefronts embedded into Facebook], have resoundingly failed."
For Amazon traders this could open up the doors for not only using their Twitter site as a marketing tool but also for making a few sales themselves. With the rise of smart phones, mobile shopping and immediate access to the internet when on the go it could potentially increase the amount of impulse purchases by using their Twitter feed to reach customers.


The 'Odontoglifida' (which means toothpick) is a fast food type of restaurant located at the center of Thessaloniki in Pavlou Mela street. In the restaurant you will find a selection of barbecued meat dishes and ofcourse gyro, souvlaki and tzatziki. The portions are hearty and will leave completely satisfied. The location of the 'Odontoglifida' restaurant is in the center of Thessaloniki's shopping market and very close to a downtown area which is hosting many cafe-bars. Thus, if you are in the area for shopping or having a coffee or a drink and you get hungry you can make a stop there. Such restaurants in Greece have very good prices and certainly if you do not want to spend a lot of money for your meal it is a great solution without making discount on the food quality. I should not forget to mention also that many such type of restaurants also make deliveries. Odontoglifida is one of them.
If you feel tired or bored to reach this area you may also order online and have it send at your place!
