2:22p | Fic Rec: HP_Darkfest Entry, Beyond Measure - Harry, Snape, Alecto, Amycus, NC-17 So one of the things I was always disappointed with in Deathly Hallows is that there was never a big confrontation scene between Harry and Severus. After their dual in the end of Half-Blood Prince, I expected a rematch where Harry would have a chance to redeem himself. Sadly, that did not happen. However, now there is this story entry over on Live Journal in the HP-Darkfest comm, and although it's not a dual-rematch, it certainly hits my kink buttons. Just mind any warnings, and even though it doesn't say, there is some really squicky het in there too...and that says something about the darkness of this great story to be able to cause my stomach to churn!

1:12a | My first real "weekend" since the end of September. All the month of October, my boss at the apartment complex decided to take all the Fridays off as vacation time. I support her doing this since working full time at the apartment complex is very stressing and all our residents or at least a majority of them, are completely insane. Anyway, since M. took Fridays off, that means I've been working those days for her. That means for all of October, I've been working six days a week. Great paycheck, but not enough time off from work. And this past Thursday and Friday has been my first weekend in a month. :) I'm feeling very good. Went out to dinner at his Italian restaurant earlier this evening to celebrate my friend's b-day. The food was fantastic and pricey. Next week we'll be hitting a club to go dancing. Today was also my Daddy's b-day. Too bad he had to work, otherwise, I'd have taken him out for lunch or something. Took the baby monster to get her H1N1 vaccination this morning. Waited an hour and a half in line. She said it smelled like chocolate. How freakin' cool is that!? :D Then we hit up the bookstore (got her Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy - cute story), and the Jamba Juice next door. The drinks were good like they always are, but the sandwich wrap wasn't anything to brag about. Cleaned out my car since it was a nice day (and like any good packrat, crap had been piling up in my car). All that's left is to take it down to the car wash. |

8:46p | Argh! Vampire fic is STUCK! I need a motivation for them to go where they're about to go. I mean, I know why *I* want them there--it moves the plot forward. But why do they want to be there? Dammit! I've got three scenes of disjointed, sparkling wit, too. I want to cram them together, but they obviously don't fit, like puzzle pieces missing a piece between. |

4:26p | Shooting at Fort Hood Army Base http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_p http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_p http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/11/05/te It's horrible. Fort Hood is home to about 60,000 people. It is about the size of a city. It is the world's largest military base. It happened in the solider readiness center which is the area where soliders get the last medical check-up before shipping out and coming in. CNN is saying that ABC out of Waco (which is near Kileen) said the shooters named is major Malique Nadal Hassan. There is 12 dead. 11 are victims. Of those 11 one was a civilian cop contracted as military police. One of those civilian MP's killed the shooter. http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/1 Update | 7:41 p.m. Given that Thursday’s shooting spree took place at a readiness center, where troops were about to be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, the subject will certainly turn to combat stress. A description of the work of the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress, where Major Nidal Hasan, the suspected gunman who was killed on Thursday at Fort Hood, says this: The Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress (CSTS) addresses both the invisible and visible wounds of war through research, education and consultation. The invisible wounds of war include the mental health consequences of deployment. These can range from normal distress to the treatable mental disorders of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Warrior wounds can also involve health risks such as increased use of tobacco, alcohol and/or drugs that can result in violence to self, spouse and/or children. Update | 7:22 p.m. Information about Dr. Nidal Hasan posted on a Virginia Board of Medicine Web site includes a note that he saw patients at Darnell Army Medical Center Monday through Friday. http://www.statesman.com/blogs/cont Officials: Shooting suspect discussed suicide bombings, other threats online Thursday, November 5, 2009, 07:30 PM FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: Federal law enforcement officials say the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats. One of the Web postings that authorities reviewed is a blog that equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades. “To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause,” said the Internet posting. “Scholars have paralled (sic) this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers.” http://www.statesman.com/blogs/cont Official: Fort Hood shooting suspect not dead By American-statesman staff | Thursday, November 5, 2009, 08:17 PM Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the suspect in the Fort Hood shootings, has not been killed and is in stable condition at a hospital, Lt. Gen. Bob Cone said at a press conference at Fort Hood. He is in custody at an undisclosed hospital, Cone said. Three soldiers taken into custody after the shootings were released, he said. Investigators believe Hasan acted alone. “Evidence does not suggest this was a terrorist event,” Cone said. One of the first people to shoot Hasan was a civilian police officer who was shot but survived, said Cone, who added that earlier reports of a civilian officer dying were incorrect. |

10:05a | ACTA will put you in Jail Global treaty could throw file-sharers off Internet after ‘three strikes’ (November 05, 2009 - Raw Story - Daniel Tencer) File-sharers could be jailed under proposed ACTA provisions Leaked details of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement being negotiated in secret by most of the world's largest economies suggest Internet file-sharers could be blocked from accessing the Internet if they are repeatedly accused of sharing copyrighted material, say media and digital-rights watchdogs. And the worst-case scenario could see popular Web sites like YouTube and Flickr shut down because of a provision in the treaty that would force them to monitor everything uploaded to the site for copyright violations. Internet law professor Michael Geist published details of "leaked" portions of the discussions on ACTA on his blog Tuesday, as a new round of ACTA negotiations began in Seoul, South Korea. The US, along with all the countries of the European Union as well as Japan, Canada, Australia and a handful of other countries, are involved in the negotiations. "The provisions would pave the way for a globalized three-strikes and you're out system," Geist blogged Wednesday, referring to a proposal from copyright holders to have Internet service providers cut off service to anyone accused at least three times of illegally sharing copyrighted material. "This means that your entire family could be denied [access] to the Internet -- and hence to civic participation, health information, education, communications, and their means of earning a living -- if one member is accused of copyright infringement, without access to a trial or counsel," blogged tech writer and digital-rights supporter Cory Doctorow. Doctorow also noted that another provision being proposed for the treaty would mean "that ISPs have to proactively police copyright on user-contributed material. This means that it will be impossible to run a service like Flickr or YouTube or Blogger, since hiring enough lawyers to ensure that the mountain of material uploaded every second isn't infringing will exceed any hope of profitability." And, as Geist noted in a follow-up article on Wednesday, the proposed treaty could end up seeing file-sharers jailed for sharing copyrighted material, even if they had no financial gain from the transaction. Geist wrote that the treaty, as currently proposed, would "extend criminal enforcement to both (1) cases of a commercial nature; and (2) cases involving significant willful copyright and trademark infringement even where there is no direct or indirect motivation of financial gain. In other words, non-commercial infringement could lead to criminal penalties." "The US government appears to be pushing for Three Strikes to be part of the new global IP enforcement regime which ACTA is intended to create -– despite the fact that it has been categorically rejected by the European Parliament and by national policymakers in several ACTA negotiating countries, and has never been proposed by US legislators," writes Gwen Hinze at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. ACTA negotiations were being held entirely in secret until this past May, when the Wikileaks Web site released a 2007 draft proposal. The Obama administration has resisted attempts to make the negotiations public, though it did make an exemption for a long list of senior executives at major corporations. In June, the administration announced it would continue the ACTA negotiations started under the previous administration. |

9:51a | The ACTA Treay and how it will take away your internet and land your ass in jail!! ACTA is being touted as an Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. It's not. It's a vastly reaching copyright enforcement law that will be far more powerful, malicious, destructive than DMCA. This treaty is being designed in SECRET by members or people, whom we do not know their names because of "national security" as agents of our government and 40 other nations. As a citizen of this nation YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT TO EVEN LOOK AT THE WHAT THE TREATY IS PROPOSING! As a worker of any big company you do, but you have to sign a non-disclousre agreement in compesation of being able to read it. Why? Because the Government, Bush and Obama, have deemed this as a National Security necessary secret. Other Nations have sued or been given a look at the all powerful secrety treat that is still in the works. It's been in the works since 2007. But us? Oh no, we are given the National Security excuse and told that is all we need to know. Now we know. Now we are pissed and now we are scared. Because now we know, through a leaked document, what this treaty is about to propose. Have any of you EVER downloaded music, video, images, wrote fanfiction? Because now through ACTA if you have and if you have been given a take-down notice by the propose owners of the copyright material that you have SUPPOSEDLY violated, then after three times your ISP will be ordered by the GOVERNMENT to take away your homesteads internet service. That's right, your internet service of your instead house/apartment, etc. That means even if you yourself have NEVER downloaded ANYTHING at all and only use your computer as a means to surf the internt to check your e-mail but your kid or husband has then ALL OF YOU lose your internet. This is also most likely going to be in addition of some fine for violation of copyright law and even possibly JAIL TIME! Don't believe me? Think I'm just over reacting to things? Then read what the experts are saying: * That ISPs have to proactively police copyright on user-contributed material. This means that it will be impossible to run a service like Flickr or YouTube or Blogger, since hiring enough lawyers to ensure that the mountain of material uploaded every second isn't infringing will exceed any hope of profitability. * That ISPs have to cut off the Internet access of accused copyright infringers or face liability. This means that your entire family could be denied to the internet -- and hence to civic participation, health information, education, communications, and their means of earning a living -- if one member is accused of copyright infringement, without access to a trial or counsel. * That the whole world must adopt US-style "notice-and-takedown" rules that require ISPs to remove any material that is accused -- again, without evidence or trial -- of infringing copyright. This has proved a disaster in the US and other countries, where it provides an easy means of censoring material, just by accusing it of infringing copyright. * Mandatory prohibitions on breaking DRM, even if doing so for a lawful purpose (e.g., to make a work available to disabled people; for archival preservation; because you own the copyrighted work that is locked up with DRM) http://www.boingboing.net/2009/11/03/se ( cut ) LINKS on what ACTA is: Lawfont.com: ACTA: here we go again?

Secret Anti-Piracy Treaty Turns ISPs into Pirates EU Breaks Deadlock in Debate Over Right to Internet Access (November 05, 2009 - PC World - Paul Meller, IDG News Service) That is it. I've had it about these fucking companies influencing laws and governments and getting their fucking way. I've had it. I'm emailing my congressman. I'm linking to these articles. they have got to know this isn't about piracy anymore this uninforcable and its trying to censor the internet!! I'm going to write out a long e-mail to my local newspapers. It is time that we stood up and told these fuckers, no more. Just because I do a little downloading here and there does not mean I am not entitled to my rights as a human being. this law will make it to where the burden of proof lies on me that I didn't break the law. It is almost impossible to defend against this law. They could say I illegally downloaded music when maybe I just ripped a cd I bought to play music on my computer. Or about webpages or youtube. They could say that all the film about the Iran Riots and Protests is copywrited and if I uploaded any of it that I'm a pirate. This, this is fucking insane. |
