Global Internet censorship is here. SOPA and PIPA have been stopped (at least for now) in the United States, but a treaty known as ACTA (the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) is far worse than either of them. ACTA was quietly signed by Barack Obama back on October 1st, 2011 and most Americans have never even heard of it. But it could mean the end of the Internet as we know it. This new treaty gives foreign governments and copyright owners incredibly broad powers. If you are alleged to have violated a copyright, your website can be shut down without a trial and police may even show up at your door to take you to prison. It doesn't even have to be someone in the United States that is accusing you. It could just be a foreign government or a copyright owner halfway across the world that alleges that you have violated a copyright. It doesn't matter. So far, the U.S., the EU and seven other nations have signed on to ACTA, and the number of participants is expected to continue to grow. The "powers that be" are obsessed with getting Internet censorship one way or another. The open and free Internet that you and I have been enjoying for all these years is about to change, and not for the better.Global Internet censorship is here.

Of temperature ;
Hot.
excerpted from
" XX rainbow matters "
A word very commonly used to describe women. Obviously not any woman, but then again, used much too often if you ask me. Unless it’s a passing comment, an enquiry from a male friend about a female friend the first has never seen or an adjective in a men’s mag Top 100, this might spark a long discussion over the semantics of this seemingly simple word.
It is oh-so necessary to a) differentiate between hot and cute (and also pretty, beautiful, attractive, etc) and b) know what the word means to y o u before throwing it around. Yes, it is.
From a simplified viewpoint, hot is supposed to be pretty straight-forwardly directed to anything sexual: advertising, men’s magazines, action movie heroines (not about too much depth, those ones), porn, and so on. So when describing someone as hot, it would ideally indicate sexual interest. From then onwards, it’s a matter of personal taste - added perks of big breasts, excess show of skin, leather and latex, facial expression or pose can all make someone seem hot-TER. As opposed to beautiful, which indicates aesthetic pleasure in watching or seeing someone, or cute, which opens a whole new semantic field, swaying towards playful or even child-like – thus arousing more nurturing sensations, rather than sexual ones.
In lay(wo)man’s terms: Hot you wanna bang, cute you wanna cuddle.

"Hate doesn’t have an expiry date"
excerpt -
[ Now, as far as I was concerned, I had one scorned ex, who never wanted to admit my girl-staring was for something more than just womanly envy…and another crazy ex who just wouldn’t stop sending me love poetry. And that was that.
As those blew over, I closed my Big Book of India. The metal head and I got back on speaking terms, and me and the Colleague still keep in touch. ]

So having my website offline today has been pretty interesting i found myself bored, doing some updating offline and reading a lot of current website. my music site is pretty powerful in the midwest region and chicago and i found some people were stunned at first then read the protest website and they are happy. But i can say in 7 years my website has been on the net it has NEVER been offline for "a protest" or a scheduled downtime like this.
So as many of webmasters i also have my website offline today in response to the PIPA and SOPA legislation that is going through congress. But in reality for a 12 hour to 24 hour suspension on a lot of websites is it really being effective as in what will be the true outcome to this situation.
Remember the Wall Street Occupation sure there was a lot of hype, buzz and press about it but nothing has really been done and they have been doing a ton of work outside the box in the streets (not just online).
So you knock down some major websites for 1 day sure it might disrupt internet traffic but most people will just go oh i will just log in after the protest. Sure it might make people go WTF is going on here but it is just 1 day its not like websites are protesting for say 1 week or even 1 month, you want to really cause some buzz and press knock down a few of these major websites down for 1 month and people would loose there minds without google, wiki or other websites that people survive off of basically.
You really do not understand how co-dependent you are when it comes to search engines, or indexing sites when it comes to your own personal website or branding, everyone has there own unique website they have bookmarked or visit on a daily basis and if this new bill starts to knock down and censor all these websites the internet will be a very lonely place and very empty place, remember back in the dialup internet days something to that degree where the whole .com era was just taking momentum.
As for copyright i am ALL for copyright protection and so fourth i was thinking though instead of just censoring out websites why not put a warning like google does for sites that phish attack or might cause malware? A nice warning that this site might be monitored for copyright infringement and its up to you if you want to visit that website, it would be a simple and easy solution rather then all the search engines and other providers just totally blocking the website or link.
Me being in the music industry i want talent to be heard or listened to or watched i want there song to become a big hit i want there video to be viewed or heard. Its not all about making millions of dollars they always have time to get that later on in time from events or company sponsorships or albums sales at events. As for MP3s well if someone wants to download them they can always find a way to do so, the same for movies and music videos if its on the internet its liable for getting downloaded or ripped.

Lots of mainstream media outlets are using an unsubstanciated claim from a former Ron Paul staffer who hates Muslims and believes in Sharia Law conspiracy theories.
***
Shout it from the mountaintops!
Eric Dondero, the former Ron Paul aid who has been calling the Texas Congressman and Presidential candidate everything from a racist (at least he’s implied that he is) to a lunatic is—in fact—a racist and a lunatic!
In a January 3 posting on Loonwatch, a blogger who goes by the name of Danios writes, “Indeed, Dondero is a rabid Islamophobe and Sharia conspiracy theory nut. He runs a blog LibertarianRepublican, which is replete with anti-Muslim postings.”
Here are a few of Dondero’s posts: (expletives modified by me)
•NO YOU STUPID F***ING A**HOLE. MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS ARE THE PROBLEM.
•Are you an American or some f***ing Communist/Fascist piece of s**t sent to destroy us from within?
•Why do you defend the very people who KILLED 3,000 AMERICANS AND CHEERED ALL ACROSS THE MUSLIM WORLD AS IT HAPPENED?
Danios writes, “In the same thread, he argues to deport Muslims as “his solution” to “the problem.””
Here’s a couple more jems:
•Call me a dickhead if you wish. But I’m a DICKHEAD FOR LIBERTY.
•This is about an alien culture, coming into our AMERICA AND WESTERN EUROPE and invading us from within.Dondero is also quoted in a December 21, 2011 article for Philadelphia Weekly. He’s upset that some Jewish leaders have sided with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to decry a Pennsylvania bill prohibiting “the application of foreign law which would impair constitutional rights.”Lots of mainstream media outlets are using an unsubstanciated claim from a former Ron... more

PROTECT-IP is a bill that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting “creativity”. The law would let the government or corporations censor entire sites; they just have to convince a judge that the site is “dedicated to copyright infringement.” The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner. Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year. That’s for a fix that won’t work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, and censors the internet. This bill is bad for creativity and does not protect your rights.
This piece includes a video about SOPA.

Ambiguous UpSparkles From the Heart of the Park (Mic Check/Occupy Wall Street)
. . . .besides,....Bush is a dick,....uhm,....so is Rick,.....but I digress,......this is about what SHE said,.....and SHE said - - -
( about OCCUPY WALL STREET )
~ excerpt ~
[ It is a cry against what appears to be scarcity and what Naomi Klein calls a distribution problem and, I would add, a priority problem. It is a spontaneous uprising that has been building for years in our collective unconscious. It is a gorgeous, mischievous moment that has arrived and is spreading. It is a speaking out, coming out, dancing out. It is an experiment and a disruption.
We all know things are terribly wrong in this country. From the death of our rivers, to the bankruptcy of our schools to our failed health care system, something at the center does not hold.
A diverse group of teachers, thinkers, students, techies, workers, nurses, have stopped their daily lives. They have come to gather and reflect and march and lay their bodies down. They have come from all over the country and the world. Some have flown in just to be here. I met students last night from a college in Kentucky who had just arrived committed to sleeping out for two nights in solidarity.
Occupy Wall Street is a work of art, exploding onto a canvas in search of form, in search of an image, a vision.
In a culture obsessed with product, the process of creation is almost unbearable. Nothing is more threatening than the moment, the living breathing ambiguity of now. We have been trained to name things, own things, brand things and in doing so control and consume them. Well, the genius of Occupy Wall Street is that so far it is not brandable and that's what makes its potential so daunting, so far reaching, so inclusive, and so dangerous. It cannot be defined and so it cannot be sold, as a sound bite or a political party or even a thing. It can't be summed up and dismissed.]
and THIS-
[ To make sure the human microphone is working properly the speaker calls out Mike Check and the crowd repeats Mike Check and by doing this it becomes clear if the voice of the speaker is being carried through the entire crowd. I think our media needs a general Mike Check. So last night I committed to creating a column that would carry the stories of the occupiers at the heart of the park.
There are certain hand signals that are used in the group to signify response. My favorite is the signal for agreement, or something you like a lot .
People lift their hands and wiggle their fingers. This has come to be called Upsparkles. ]
Read the whole thing, it is worth your time. She writes really well,.....go figure.
p.s. ( for a woman )
p.p.s. There - THAT should generate some interest !
