Watch and see what happens next.Dennis SchwanderOceansideThose voting for immunity should be voted outIf the telecoms did nothing illegal, why do they need immunity? Are the laws in our justice system only for certain people to abide by, and not for others, because of their stature? Does anyone really believe that these companies do not have some of the best attorneys who absolutely knew they would be breaking the law by going along with the administration on this warrantless surveillance? ...The FISA court gives the surveillance issue a great deal of leeway and there's no reason not to obey the law. These companies went against their own privacy statements, guaranteeing confidentiality to their customers.Those House and Senate members who go along with this immunity do not represent their own constituents -- they represent the big special interests.
HANNA: A CITY'S HAVEN
You'd also have 20 miles of trails that wind through one of the largest pieces of true Coastal Hardwood Hammock left on the Southeastern coast. Why not throw in a 60-acre freshwater lake where speckled perch bite year-round and 10-pound largemouth bass get caught by kids? While you're wishing, add over 100 species of seasonally indigenous birds, including the white pelican, belted kingfisher and sharp-skinned hawks. Don't forget possums, raccoons, armadillos, squirrels, marsh rabbits and an elusive bobcat or two. The truth is you do own the parcel of land described above if you live in the City of Jacksonville. It's Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park, owned and operated by the city. And as taxpayers and residents, it's yours. It was the fishing that called me to Hanna Park. The name has come up almost weekly, while writing fishing reports or forecasts for the newspaper.

You Gotta Sin To Get Saved and Other Assorted Love Songs.
There's some really promising albums coming out soon; it's better than the first signs of spring. Canadian folk-rocker Kathleen Edwards' new album “Asking For Flowers" is released March 4. I'm streaming it off her Web site as I write this and every song thus far is a winner.
I got turned on to Edwards a couple of years ago when I was floored by her 2003 debut “Failer." The lead cut on that one, “Six O'clock News" was on constant repeat on the iPod. (That is before the stupid thing crashed something that's never happened with my turntable). Give Edwards a listen. I guarantee you'll end up scrapping all your horrid Carrie Underwood records. Leave those for the chumps. My buddy Rick Koster's bête noir Stephen Malkmus has a new album out called “Real Emotional Trash" with reportedly some prog flourishes.

Cis' blog roundup - Friday
Over the course of 2 1/2-plus years of running this blog, I should get some credit for understanding how to run this blog while making it fun. I've tried drafting rules from time to time. But most of those attempts have gone by the way side. The ones Blogmeister Ken posted earlier this week are about as dead-on and simple as it gets: - No personal attacks or inflammatory posts.
- No copyright violations.
- No libel.
And, if it isn't obvious...
- No porn. I'd probably put an asterisk behind "or inflammatory posts" because some of you guys are so poisoned toward others that you believe anything they post is "inflammatory." Also, some of you believe that any dissing of your favorite political party or ideology is a personal attack. When all else fails, I fall back on the bottom-line rule here: Dave's blog, Dave's rules.

Screencasting Recorder: Upload, Share, Publish, Embed - FreeScreencast ...
This is too good to be true! FreeScreencast is a new free web-based service that allows you to record anything taking place on your screen in a simple way. Not only. FreeScreencast takes care of uploading your recorded clip and provides you immediately with an embed code to post the screencast on your site. This is the first easy, and inexpensive screencasting tool that truly empowers online publishers to create and publish high-quality screencasts on their blog sites with the minimum effort. The only limitations of this new web-based service are the fact that for now the screen recording tool works only on PC Windows machines, the need to download a few components, and a few rough corners in the UI and management features available for now. But it is reasonable to expect that within a short time these issues will be addressed providing to this service the true popularity and attention it deserves.
