I haven't reported in about 5 mos. and im scared that its going to be revoked. I have been living in another town(not hiding), but spend plenty of time in town where probation is. I haven't been running or hiding, I've been working and looking for my daughter. I guess I should just call my P.O. and talk to him go report and take whats comming to me.

I want to create a website dedicated to celebrating 100 years of technology -- as a result, I want to have old ephemera particularly mp3 downloads of very old wax recordings from 1890-1907 .. I know alot of this is out of copyright; but what are my legal ability/usage rights and what ethics does this raise?

Note:I'm not arguing or something, Americans say they understand what I'm saying, this is only for correcting some wrong opinions, not for blaming you or the others.Hope you understand me.

Hi people.I'm Iranian and I live in Iran.When I chat with people from other countries, I understand that they have totally wrong ideas about Iran.I just wrote this article to correct you.
The first thing they accuse our government of, is that they don't let you be free.Actually, Iranians would be some of the most free people in the world, since thousands of millions of strict rules in other countries, don't even exist in Iran.In Iran every single house has a sattelite. Sattelite channels have a serious influence on people, now the way they wear clothes sounds like western countries, only there are scarves that don't seem to be worn because we're Muslems.People wear fashionable scarves to make themselves more attractive and most part of their hair is out.They do whatever they wish to, and some of the things they do, don't fit our culture at all, however it's normal in Iran, since people have got used to such acts and behaviours.You really need to pay a visit to Iran and you'll be surprised seeing the difference between what you imagine and how the real Iran is! It's wonderful, believe me.The Iran you know, is related to at least 40 years ago.At present, everything's so great.Even at that time Iran was not a bad country either, but many things have changed so far.
Some people think music is forbidden in Iran, but did you know that Iranian pop music has won the nobel prize in France?Iran's full of music and they're all current pop music.The best you've ever heard, and in case you're curious to hear some, e-mail me and I'll send you some.
Some people think women don't have any rights in Iran! What would you tell me if I tell you that women are now overtaking Iran? They're treated very well, most of the times they're the winners in most cases: They get into the best universities, they get the best jobs, they've got rights that have made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands seem to be under control of women and they have to buy them expensive things and treat them very well, otherwise women will have the right to divorce them, and then the their husbands have to pay them a great amount of money which most husbands cannot afford. (so, they can simply sit in the corner of prison! lol).Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery.Have you ever asked yourself they relate to how many years ago?Just for your information, those are from Afghanistan which was once ruled by those freaks (Taliban).I find it difficult to make you understand that Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are SEPERATE COUNTRIES! and thet we're Persian not Arab!And I find it even more difficult to make you understand that Iran is a normal country like any other countries in the world.There's nothing mysterious about it!(The media is very good at making good scary titles: BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!! IRAN UNDERCOVER!!! This would be enough to scare people away! Iranians are much more educated,sophisticated, intelligent and open-minded than what you think!!! I'm sure you don't know that there are lots and lots of Iranian geniouses and scientists that are all under 25.You don't hear about their discoveries and inventions on TV. A small example is this 17 year old boy who's invented 72 amazing inventions that the biggest scientist haven't ever managed to.You don't know that Iranian students are winning gold and silver medals in different compotitions in the world all the time such as robots, biology,maths,physics,anything! Why don't your media talk about them?
Some people think, Iran's a desert! Iran's a modern country with very beautiful nature and lots of historical places to visit.Please take a look at the following links and see if Iran looks like what you think or not! (Surely it doesn't!)

See how the media are fooling people? None of the things you hear on the media about Iran are true.So, please don't worry about us, cos we're really free.Ok?

I thought it's better to clarify some political matters as well:
Some of the Americans I chatted with (not all of them), said here in the U.S it's said that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuck them!! Now, this is so odd, their media is good at putting comments, it's easy to show a video or an image of our president or leader on the T.V screen or on the internet and say he says this, he says that.....
First of all you should know that Iranians don't hate anyone, if our government complains about some injustice that's now going on in the world, it's not bad.Is it? Nor do we hate Jews, nor do we hate Americans.They're both nice people.If they're media is fooling them, it's not their fault.If I were in thier shoes, I would hate Iran too regarding all the terrible lies they keep hearing about it nearly everyday.Who says we want to force the others to convert to Islam?Have you ever found a Muslem that knocks at your door and asks you to do so?Who says we call Americans athiests?That's so funny, Christians and Jews are both God believers.We've never disrespected them.I wonder why the media like putting words in our mouth and raising hatred.In Iran, religion would be the least important thing, it means that where you come from and what you're religion is, are not important for us at all.And I wonder why some Muslim countries think there's a problem between Shittes and Sunnies, it doesn't make sence in Iran.
I wonder Iran is a threat to whom? How is it possible for Iran to nuke somewhere while it doesn't have any nukes?!!!(The media have never been intelligent liars).Has Iran ever attacked anywhere?
Some say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! But have they told you the rest of his speech and that why he's said this at all? If you know a little literature, you know that it's a passive sentence.He's never said that IRAN wants to wipe Israel off the map! And he wasn't talking about destroying Israel, he was talking about relocating Israel, so that they could live seperate from Palestinians and they could both live in peace.They've only told you this phrase not the rest of it and it's mistranslated deliberitely.Be concious! Iran's always defended itself, but it's not an offensive country, while most countries have nukes and are clearly threatening Iran to nuke us! Good isn't it? Some say he's said: Holocaust is a myth! Ok, he's said this, but is saying it a crime? If 6000000 Jews were killed, that's so terrible, but those 300000 Shiite Moslems who were killed by Saddam aren't important at all! 650000 Iraqi people are killed and it's not important! When Fox News simply says: America and Israel are capable of destroying and killing all Iran's 690000000 population (, it's OK and no one says they're treatening other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News web-site) I know Americans don't like it either, but what can they do?

I am 24, married, and I have 2 children. I was diagnosed with scoliosis as a teenager but have recentlky discovered that time has healed my back. Now that I have a clean bill of health and a straight back I am interested in joining the Air Force (something I have only dreamed about til now) and to become a nurse. Would it be selfish of me to leave my kids to join the military? I'm really sruggling with the idea of leaving them and my husband to follow this dream.

Here's the story. On the news yesterday, a guy drove off without paying for gas he put into his car. The police was called and there was a chase (police & guy). The guy jumped out of the car and ran and the police officer ran behind him (foot chase). The police office collapsed and died from a heart attack. According to the news, they are thinking about charging the guy with the death of the policeman. I am sorry this has happened to the police office, and the guy was wrong for driving off without paying for the gas, but do you think this guy should be charged for the officer's death?

I just wanted to know if you agree with whaat happened during the Holocaust? Some people who are sick and perverted do agree while I am so horrified about it. I think that it was the most horrible thing a human could do to another human. There is this book I'm reading called Vienna Prelude. It's really good, you should read it. I want to know what Hitler's family thought of him or did he kill them too. Bastard!!!!!!

The NHS, Road Traffic Act (making it illegal not to have a tracking device in your car), making it compulsory to teach gay relationships in school, ever increasing taxes, prison reforms, school reforms, banning smoking, race hate laws, restricting freedom of speech, banning protests, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.....

Whatever aspect of modern life it is, New Labour don't seem to be satisfied until they have meddled in it and totally ****ed everything up. There seems to be new legislation coming out every single week, and not one bit of it is for OUR benefit.

What is this country coming to?!

The previous Home Secretary Charles Clarke didn't shave and couldn't grow a beard, now we have an incompetent ex-drunk communist bully boy pal of Serbian war criminals looking after the shop.
Doesn't it make one want to weep for this great country of ours?
