You may experience slight twiching

Yikes. The site is crazy due to this new theme, but it’ll force me the change it right? Perhaps it is a reflection of my surroundings. Either way, I’ll get to fixing it. On the other hand, I did a little update of the live music taping page. Upcoming events include Jamaica for the Caribbean Holidaze event where Benevento Russo Duo takes stage with the fantastic Umphrey’s McGee and Disco Biscuits. It will be good. I’m also hoping to take the gear with me. Fantastic tapes. Either way, winter will be warm in the tropics. Here is a taste of my taping page:My rig consists of Studio Project C4s running into an Apogee Mini-Me for A/D and then via SPDIF into my Microtrack 24/96 (usually at 24bit/48khz). I am proud to be a member of tapers.org.Below is a listing a shows which I have either recorded or helped transfer that are on the archive…

Crazyredbeard and JoeKiller go at it in the podcast part deux

Studio

Ladies and Gentlemen. Pleased to meet your acquaintance. In this day and age, we must aspire to create unconditionally. Tonight I present an abomination that only can be released with the mindset of understanding unto which we did it just for fun. Nothing is real. That is all.

Word of the day: Fascism

Republican Fascism

Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers individual and other societal interests subordinate to the interests of the state. Fascists seek to forge a type of national unity, usually based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural, or racial attributes. Various scholars attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism, statism, militarism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, corporatism, populism, collectivism, and opposition to economic and political liberalism.

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” – The 4th Amendment of the United States Constitution

As congress continues to have no backbone. We are seeing the erosion of our civil liberties as well as having atrocities committed in our name. We have illegal search and seizure of information through phones and through the internet. Congress is passing bills which allow for “blanket wiretapping.” Such wiretaps could allow for all people with the last name “Smith” to be tapped. How do you find only Smith? You apply a filter that says, read everything that says Smith. However to do this, they read EVERYTHING. Every single thing you send over the internet. And face it people, for most, a vast majority might be porn. Oh, Mr. Smith, I see you like going to kinkycrazyness dot com. Telecommunications over the internet! It is the future they say. Oh, well you see Mr. Smith, we were filtering for certain words on your voice packets and we would like to talk to your private conversation with..

The NSA is reading all of our internet communications and congress keeps saying this is OK! It is a direct violation of our 4th Amendment Rights.

Pick out an article from bigbrother over at slashdot. They all point towards an over reach of power.

Energy Conservation Awareness Week, Tax Holiday October 5th – 8th

———- Forwarded message ———-
From: "Jones, Robin" <Robin.Jones@dmme.virginia.gov>

Subject: Energy Conservation Awareness Week

 

 

October 1,
2007

Greetings,

I am proud to announce this week
as Energy Conservation Awareness Week, which will be followed by our first
ENERGY STAR Sales Tax Holiday event. I am encouraging Virginians to use energy
wisely and begin to explore how all of us can be more energy
efficient.

The ENERGY STAR Sales Tax Holiday
will take place from Friday, October 5 through Monday, October 8, 2007. During
this holiday, Everyone will be exempt from paying sales tax in Virginia on
ENERGY STAR qualified products that cost $2,500 or less, like compact
fluorescent light bulbs, ceiling fans, clothes washers, dehumidifiers,
dishwashers, programmable thermostats, refrigerators, and room air
conditioners.

As a first step to preserving
Virginia's energy resources and environment, I encourage you to replace at
least one incandescent bulb or fixture at home with one that has earned the
government's ENERGY STAR label
. If every state employee takes the pledge to
change just one bulb or fixture, we could save over 32 million kWh and prevent
over 45 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year! Please make this
simple, yet meaningful commitment by taking the online ENERGY STAR Change a
Light Pledge.

To be part of this effort, take
the pledge online at http://www.energystar.gov/joincal.
You will be asked to fill in your name, email and zip code. You will also be
asked "Which organization referred you here, if any?" Please select "Virginia,
Commonwealth of" from the drop down list as the participating
organization.

I hope you'll join me in raising
public awareness of energy efficiency and ENERGY STAR products that will result
in Virginians taking action to conserve energy in our homes. With your help, we
can reduce energy bills and protect Virginia's natural resources. One Small
Step, One Simple Action – Big Savings!

Thank you for being part of the
movement to help make a difference.

Sincerely,
Timothy M.
Kaine
Governor
