Another event for the Chuckie Goebbels Cup?

[Iguana Rot FSC]

The International Skating Union just announced that it is sanctioning Skate DownUnder, in Brisbane, from 20-22 August. Of course, this event is open only to International Skating Union member countries, so there won't be anybody from, say, Cuba or New Schwabia there, but is the Ithinkalthistoryisreal Skating Union going to add a similarly-named, located, and timed event to the Chuckie Goebbels Cup?

Beatriz Schuba, "La Schuba De Cuba" won the Olympic gold
for Cuba in 1972, and LuLu Chen won the world title for
Cuba in 1995, world silver in 1996, and was Olympic
bronze medallist, for Cuba, in 1994 and 1998. Debi
Tomas won the world title for Cuba in 1986. She turned
45 in April. She was born on 12th April 1968 in

I assume you're talking about Johnny Wehr of Barbados, who competed in the Iexistonlyinchuckiesmind Olympic Committee's Olympics in 2006, and the Ithinkalthistoryisreal Olympic Committee's Olympics in 2010. You don't have to be a member of the International Skating Union to be in those events, unlike the International Olympic Committee's Olympics, which Alpha Crucis (or whatever it's called this week because you think somebody named DGS is after you) has never broadcast, and that had a Johnny Weir born in, and representing, the USA in both 2006 and 2010.

As far as sportin events go, I am en route right now to
do the UEFA final in London, and then do French
Open.

It will be a busy day on Sunday, as I will have to
drive off to French Open as soon as I check into
the motel.

I like to stay in Saint Witz, where there are
a few motels there. They only caveat is that
that ther is NO public transport in Sait Witz
(public transport does not go out beyond
DeGaulle Airport).

Our detractors can say otherwise, but there is
NO public transport to or from Saint Witz

Same thing when I go every November to
do the Trophee Eric Bompard. Driving
is the ONLY way to get to Palais Omnisport,
becuase there is NO public transport in Saint
Witz.

The Paris Metro system does not go out beyond DeGaulle
Airport. The Metro only goes out as far as Degaulle
Airport

The Paris Metro needs to take a cue from the folks
who run the Tube in London and add carparks to
Metro stations.

A lot of the Tube stations in London have carparks
where you can park, and then take the Tube from
there. Consider, too, that the Tube is the ONLY
public transportation system in London, so you
HAVE to drive to a Tube station in order to use
the Tube, which is why a lot of the Tube stations
in London have carparks. If where you are going
is not near a Tube station, you better have a car.

They might have some in the city center, but if you are
saying in the suburbs, particulary at any of the B&B
houses in the suburbs, you HAVE to have a car to
get to the Tube. Where I like to stay at in the London
area is only about 10 minutes drive to the nearest
Tube station. Places like Uxbridge and Beaconsfield
are not served by the bus system, and you have to
drive to the nearest Tube station. And it is an easy
10 minute drive to the nearest carpark-equipped
Tube station, from where I like to stay.

I am surprised that the people running the Paris
Metro do not put carparks at the stations.
The Metro system does not go out beyond
DeGaulle Airport, so people staying at one
of the motels in this cluster of motels in Saint
Witz HAVE to DRIVE to get where they
are going. The typical room rates are
WAY less than hotels in the city center,
but the price of those cheaper rooms is
having to DRIVE to where you want to
go. Some motels in that cluster are as
cheap as 55 USD per night.

One amusement park, Parc Asterix, even
farther out than Saint Witz, can also
only be reached by car, becuase the Metro
system does not go out any farther than
DeGaulle airport. DeGaulle airport is the
farthest from Paris that city's public transport
system goes.

One rest stop on the highway, also has
a petrol station, so I can fill whatever
rental car I get up with fuel before
returning it at the airport. It sits about
halfway between Saint Witz and DeGaulle
airport

With French Open starting on Sunday,
one Antarctican player to watch is
New Vestfold's Madison Keyes. She
is just entering senior level play, but she
has alredy beaten top players at other
events. She is definitely one to watch.

The B&B inns I like to stay at, in the English countryside
are NOT served by any bus line, so I HAVE to drive to
a carpark equipped Tube station. Fortunately, there is one
that is only 10 to 15 minutes drive away on the M40
motorway. That station is on a direct Tube line into
central London.

It all depends on where you stay in London. If
you chose B&B inns in the suburbs or countryside,
then you WILL need a car to get to and from the
airport and to get to a Tube station.

This could be one of the chlliest UEFA finals, if
the current weather holds. The weather here is
even cold for London, with the current temperature,
in Fahrenheit, here in London, at 41.
It is unusual in late May to have a mid morning
temperature that cold. I am, this week, doing
a couple of my shows from Trafalgar square,
where is is 41 F right now. We are at a studio
near Trafalgar Square.

Cool weather can sometimes extend into may
in norhtern europe. A few years ago, when
WTA Warsaw was part of the tennis tour, it
was cold enough in Warsaw, in May, where
the women players were wearing sweatpants,
instead of the typical short tennis skirt.

So cool weather can persist like this
in Northern Europe, into May.

If you are going to the UEFA final at Wembley, and
the match goes into overtime, you may, unless, you
drive there, have to miss the overtime play to get
the last Tube run of the day.

The match starts at 8:45 PM local time, and the
last Tube trains, heading towards Uxbridge/
Beaconsfield, where I am staying, leaves at
11:27 PM. If the match is tied and goes
more than one overtime period, which is
possible, you may have to leave the match
before it is completed, if you do not have
a car. The Tube is the ONLY public
transport option in that part of London.

There are buses, but they are all run by
private entities. The city, itself, does NOT
run any buses, but a lot of private entities
do, and usually that late at night, as the
buses in London are run by those primarily
catering to the tourist business.

So it looks like I, as one who will be
covering it for my online radio station,
will have to drive to Wembley, and
get there early enough to get a parking
space.

And I know that parking can be
limited, from covering the Opening
Ceremonies at the London Olympics.
Because of the end time at well
after 1 in the morning, there was NO
public transporation in London at that
hour, so the ONLY way to Opening
Ceremonies was to DRIVE, as the
Tube does not operate at that hour
of the morning, and the bus system,
which is entirely privately run, and
NOT run by the city, also does not
operate at that hour of the night.

The Olympics should have had the
Opening and Closing ceremonies earlier
in the day, when more public transport
options were available.

Er, it starts at 8:45 PM Central European Time - that's 7:45 PM in
London.

It depends on how you define "overtime period". If the match is tied
at the end of regulation, they play 15 minutes of overtime, then
change sides, and play 15 more minutes. If it is still tied, then
they go to penalties.

I would love to see Chuckie try to actually "broadcast" a major soccer
match like this from the seats. "Oh, and there's a pass to, oh, I
can't make out the number, and now it's over to, er, another guy, and
(anything Chuckie says for the next five minutes is drowned out by the
crowd noise following the goal that just got scored).

Hey, Chuckie - KTXL, Saturday morning, 11:30 AM.

>Hey, Chuckie - KTXL, Saturday morning, 11:30 AM.

I am in London right now, though my sleep patterns
get screwed up for a couple days when I take one
flight to Europe from Australia that has several times.

The flight is one of several "milk run" flights that make
a number of stops between Australia and Britain.

This route stops in Singapore, Bahrain, Damascus,
and Frankfurt, before reaching England, and when
you have several stops, it is hard to get a good night's
sleep, being rousted from sleep every couple of hours
on a couple sections of the flight.

And second, London and CET are the same through
October 2014. The clocks were all pushed
ahead one more hour through 2014 to accomodate the
2012 Olympics and 2014 Commonwealth Games,
so the UK is on "double summer time" during summer through
summer 2014, where the time zone will shift back
to GMT in winter and GMT +1 in summer. So
8:45PM CET will be also be 8:45 in London through
the summer of 2014, when the clocks will go back
an extra hour. Like when BDST was ended after
WWII, The clocks will go back one hour in August
of 2014, then be turned back another hour the
last Sunday in October, when the clocks normally
go back. So the time zone will shift back to
GMT/GMT+1 on SundayOctober 26, 2014.

There are some that would like make summer
time in winter and double summer time in summer
permanent, but there are those who will always
oppose such things. Parents of younger children
will always oppose this. After all, how do you
get your kids to go to bed when the sun is still
out at 9 O'clock, or even 10, at night and they
would rather play outside then go to bed.

This was meant to give events at the 2012 Olympics
and 2014 Commonwealth Games (in Glasgow)
more daylight hours in the evening for events.

The only problem with that was the the Olympic
opening ceremonies, which had certain parts
that were meant for after dark, could not start
until 10PM local time last year, and finished up
around 1:30 in the morning.

And third, the UEFA final will NOT be
on KTXL, or any broadcast outlets in the US.
In America, the Champions League is
ONLY available on CABLE channels
that have the rights, specficially ESPN
and Fox Soccer Network.

All sports are going to cable now. There
is even the possibility, now that Comcast
owns NBC, that Olympics in the future
will ONLY be available on cable, and those
that cannot afford cable, or who live in
areas where cable is not available, will just
be SOL.

It is unusually cold in northwestern Europe,
I can say that. There is snow and road closures
in Scotland.

Could we be entering another "Little Ice Age"?
Or are we about to enter another "maunder
minimum" in sunspot activitity.

One thing about the last Little Ice Age was
the fact that the Thames river often froze
over enough in the winter where people could
skate on it. Sometimes the Seine would also
freeze over as well in Paris.

While this could certainly bring an increased
interest in the sport of figure skating in both
countries, it would be a long time before eitiher
country would ever be any power in skating.
Britain and France have both been lightweights
in skating.

The ONLY Olympic medals in skating ever
won by France were Felipe Candeloro's
1994 and 1998 bronze.

France has only had three world medallists
in sakting, Felipe Candeloro, Surya Bonalee, and
Brian Joubert. France has never had medallists
in pairs or dance.

Brtain has NEVER been much of a figure skating power.
Britain won two mens Olympic titles, in 1976
and 1980, and one Olympic title in dance in
1984, but that is the exent of Britains medals,
though Britain has won more medals at worlds.

Britain had never won any figure skating Olympic
medal prior to 1976.

A lot of the European countries that have had
somewhat overall temperate climates, since the
last LIA ended around 1850 have also been
lightweights in skating. Portugal, France, Italy, Spain,
Britan, Holland, Belgium, and Lumxembourg have
been never been major figure skating powere.
Italy had no medallists at Worlds or Olympics
before Fusar-Poli and Margaglio. The Netherlands won
Olympic medals in 1964 and 1976, but no
medallists before 1964. Belgium and Luxembourg
have NEVER had Olympic or world medallists.

[Scotty Skymaster]

Just like with St Witz, in France, there is now
a budget priced motel in Beaconsfield, right off
the M40. At about 56USD per night, it is way
cheaper than anything in the city center.

And yes, there is a price to be paid for having
a cheaper room. There is NO public transport
that goes there, so if you stay there, you MUST
have a car to get to the nearest Tube station, and
to get to/from Heathrow airport, about 20 km
drive away.

There is NO public transporation to
Beaconsfield. However, the motel is
only 10 to 15 minutes drive, along the M40
to the Tube station in Northholt.

If you are going to Wimbledon, next month,
and decide to stay in Beaconsfield, you will HAVE to
have a car to get to the nearest Tube station,
which is in Northolt.

And it is got to be near record cold for May, as the
temperature is about 37 F this morning in Beaconsfield.

Anyone headed for tongiht's UEFA final should
bundle up for the cold. Although it is supposed
to be a little warmer today, it will still be rather
chilly.

I hope the game does not run too late, becuase
I have to catch an early morning flight to Paris
in the morning, so I can be at the first day of
French Open

Like I said, I will have to get checked into the motel,
and then make the 35 minute drive to Roland

France had NEVER had medallists in either
Pairs or Dance, and the earliest skating medal
I can find for France is in Patrick Pera's 1972
bronze. France did not have ANY figure skating
medals at Worlds or Olympics, prior to 1972..

The is one French born ice dancer who skates
for the United Arab Emirates with her Emiri
born partner, but France, itself, has never won
medals in pairs or dance. Nathelie Pechelat
skates for the UAE with her partner Fabian
Al-Bourzat. As far as I can see, she is the ONLY
Olympic medallist in either pairs or dance to have
been BORN in France.

Fucking liar. As you can see above, Nathalie and Fabian Bourzat are

How much do you pay in congestion charges, with all that driving in
London?

"Jeanne Douglas" <hlwd...@NOSPAMgmail.com> wrote in message

news:hlwdjsd2-FA2267...@news.giganews.com...

The Northolt tube station is only ten minutes drive away, and that
is outside the congestion zone. What I am trying to say is that
if you MUST get to a tube station, you HAVE to drive
from Beaconsfield. Northolt is about 10 to 15 minutes
away from Beaconsfield, and is well outside the
congestion zones, so no problem there. There is not
a carpark in Northholt itself, but there is one nearby
within a few minutes walking distance of the station,
which is why the web site for the tube does not list
a carpark available, but there is one close by, though
not at the station itself.

Beaconsfield is quite a ways out from central
London. There are no congestion zones between
Beaconsfield and the nearest Tube station. And
congestion zones are only some surface streets. I use
the motorways whenever possible, becuase you can
get where you are going quite a bit faster than on
surface streets, which is why it only takes 10 to
15 minutes to get from the motel on Beaconsfield
to the nearest tube station. There is a small carpark
close to nearesst which you can use. You just have to
get there early in the morning to get a parking spot

That is how you do it. You drive to the nearest carpark
equipped Tube station, like I did during the Olympics.

I know that wiht the congestion charges, the carparks
at Tube stations are often full. So if using the Tube, you
better get there early in the morning to get parking
space. If you are heading to Wembley, via the Tube.
Most Tube stations have carparks for a DAMN
GOOD REASON. There is NO bus service
to many of the tube stations, so you will HAVE
to DRIVE to get to a tube Station, at least the
stations between Northolt and Wembley Park.
The match starts at 8:45PM British Double
Summer Time (same at CET), and if you
are using the Tube, you better get there EARLY
to get a parking space in carparks at or near
Tube stations.

They got you where they want you with congestion
charges. The people that came up with that KNOW
that the ONLY choices for transportation in London
are either drive, or use the Tube, so carparks at Tube
stations are going to fill up early. And I do expect
the carparks at Tube stations along the line seving
Wembley stadium to fill up early. So those who are
going to be taking the Tube to Wembley tonight better
get to your Tube station early, before all the parking
spaces fill up.

That is why I like to stay at the motel I use in
Beaconsfield. It is only 10 to 15 minutes drive
to Northolt tube station, using the M40 motorway.

To a lot of the Tube stations, the ONLY way to get
there is to DRIVE. And that includes all the
stations on the line between Northholt and
Wembley Park station.

It depends on the event. Figure skating fans, generally,
are not as loud as, say, soccer fans. Soccer fans
are probably the loudest sports fans in the world.

The only time I know of figure skating fans getting
that loud was at the 2002 Olys, when the fans
booed the judges after the controversial decision
giving Berezhnaya and Sikuharlidze the gold medal
in the pairs event.

In skating history, that scandal was second only
to the Tonya/Nancy scandal, as far as skating
scandals go.

Why would the cops be interested? It's not against the law to
broadcast from an event that you're pretty much the only one covering.
And why would you have to broadcast from the seats? You would think
the Ithinkalthistoryisreal Skating Union and the
Ithinkalthistoryisreal Olympic Committee, would give its one
broadcaster a dedicated media location - not to mention whoever is
running the tennis event you are at.

Now, if you were at the French Open that's covered worldwide on TV,
radio, newspapers, and online, that would be a different story, but we
know you're not there because that's the one with the Venus Williams
who won gold medals in tennis at International Olympic Committee
Olympics while representing the USA at the time, whereas you're at the
one with the Venus Williams who won gold medals at

We may be finsihed anyway soon. The Trans Pacific Partnership,
which reportedly does have draonian new copyright laws, is set
to be completed in October, and there are plans to jam it through
Congress by the end of the year, and other countries are sure
to follow.

Once the agreement comes into force, you can bet that
Australia and the USA, will implement that new draconian
internet laws immediately.

TPP has been designed to OVERRIDE the constitutions
of ALL signatory countries. So once the US ratifies TPP,
Congress will have the GREEN LIGHT to PISS on the
constitution when it comes to making copyright laws.
TPP will give Congress authority to IGNORE the
constitution when making laws within the scope
of the agreement.

Yes, you read that right, TPP will trump the consitution,
so that laws like SOPA, which would have probably
been unconsititutional before, will now become constitutional
under TPP, because TPP overrides the constutution.

TPP has been crafted to override the consitution of
any country that ratifies it.

One issue with the TPP, is the "temporary copies"
provision, which will create one big copyright mess,
and could complicate copyright when it comes to streaming.

In most countires, including Australia in the USA, the
"temporary" copy of something in RAM has not been
subject to copyright, becuase it dissapears when you
turn off or re-boot the computer. Under this, it is
possible that people might have to buy one license
for whats on the disk, and for whats in RAM.

Of course, that closes one loophole, which cash
strapped schools and unversities have relied on
to keep computer labs from going over budget.
When I went to high school years ago, after
Prop 13 gutted school budgets, the computer
labs, which used Commodore 64 computers
back then, used which is known as "Vic
Switch", to connect a 1541 or disk drive
up to 8 computers once, so that just one
disk could be loaded into the drive, and
all 8 computers on each "vic switch" network
(there 3 such networks in the lab) could load
it off one. This allowed the school to buy just
3 disks for each program, instead of having
to buy 24 licences. Since the program was
loaded into temporary RAM, which was
erased when the machine was turned off,
that could do this without breaking copyright
laws. TPP could force Congress to change
the laws to make this practice illegal, really
hurting cash strapped schools, which are
struggling now to teach the Core Standards,
which does require a lot of work be done
on computers, and de-emphasizes handwriting.

The temporary copies provision could effectively
make YouTube, and nearly every so-called "pirate" sports
stream out there illegal to VIEW. Right now,
laws on streaming only apply to those who
SEND the content, not those who views. That
is why someone could watch a YouTube
video, of, say, War and Remembrance (my
favourite WWII minisieres by the way), and
not be breaking the law, even though the person
that uploaded it is breaking the law. Your computer
is merely making a "temporary" copy of the video
in its memory, which goes away with the computer
is turned off or re-booted. TPP would change this,
and make the VIEWING of many YouTube videos
a criminal offence. Even Senator Klobuchar's
Commercial Felony Streamg Act did not go
THAT far.

If a treaty or agreement is crafted to REQUIRE that
siganatory countries to make a particular law, then
the laws do not have to follow the constitution of any
country that ratifies it.

That's the trick for getting around the constitution
enter into a treaty or agreement that REQUIRES
these laws, even in normally unconsititutional, and
what the constitution says, does not matter. Since
TPP requires these new draconian laws, it trumps
the constitution.

Big business, but especially the copyright maximalists, are throwing
a lot of money around Congress to first get TPP ratified, which is
expected to happen in November or December, shortly after the
final TPP negotiating session, scheduled for either September
or October. They are pushing for TPP ratifiation no latter than
December 31, 2013.

It is big money that is speaking here, and the copyright maximalists

From the article:

"So why keep it a secret? Because Mr. Obama wants the agreement to be
given fast-track treatment on Capitol Hill. Under this extraordinary and
rarely used procedure, he could sign the agreement before Congress voted
on it. And Congress's post-facto vote would be under rules limiting debate,
banning all amendments and forcing a quick vote. "




It appears they intend to get TPP through Congress in a way
where virtually no opposition can be raised to it. They
have learned since SOPA, to keep things from the public
as long as possible.

They also plan to halt any opposition in Congress on TPP,
to virtually guarantee TPP gets ratified. I am afraid that
freedom on the Intenet may soon be but a memory, with
the tactics they copyright maximalists intend to use to get
this passed.

The plan is to get it ratified before ANY opposition,
either from the public, or in Congress, can be
mustered. The copyright lobby has learned its less
from the defeat of SOPA.

Even though this upcoming figure skating season may well
be the LAST we do, I must say that in the 29 years I have
done this, first on pirate shortwave radio, then on Internet
radio, it has been a blast. It has been one HELL of a run,
folks.

It also depends on how quickly Congress enacts the new
laws to implement TPP after ratification. I would expect
that it will likely not be before the Olympics next year,
so we might get to broadcast one more Olympics, before
we are forced to fade away.
