We remember you.

 I learned how to play craps and High Chicago, 

said man called The Anti-Clapton, Rocky Hill.
So here comes Rocky Hill, perhaps the wildest and scariest – both onstage and off –  of all the white-boy Texas blues guitarists.
In a career that has seen more fits and starts than a stick-shift car driven by a 15-year-old, Hill is hoping to finally get into gear at the age of 46. His show at the Continental Club on July 18, backed by drummer Eric Reininger and bassist Rock Romano, is his fifth since he launched his comeback at the spring 2002.
American Blues were an American 1960s Texas-based garage rock band, who played a psychedelic style of blues rock music influenced by the 13th Floor Elevators.
Around 1968 Rocky left the band, and the remaining two members (Dusty Hill brothers and Frank Beard)  joined the recently formed ZZ Top.
Rocky Hill continued to tour around Texas, and elsewhere, becoming one of a number of guitarists well-known within the state for their blues guitar prowess, such as Rocky Athis and Charlie Sexton. In this role, his playing in Austin there were said to have been an influence on guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan's formative years, as well. He sometimes referred to himself as The Anti-Clapton, and one writer with the Houston Press called Rocky perhaps the wildest and scariest – both onstage and off – of all the Texas white-boy blues guitarists.
I like,
hi, can someone give me the lyrics about HPD?
I will play it.

Antti Tuuri skriver om riktiga saker

Idag talar man mycket om att vissa människor läser helt enkelt inte böcker.
Dom tänker inte alls.
Det kommer att berövas dem sina förmåga att tänka själva.
Här kommer ett dokument (på finska) om yttrandefrihetens gränser.

On the gray zone

Sorm has not just the equipment
and the software necessary
for carrying out legal interception.

Russian Government is applying still a strict surveillance on the Internet within the country. We remember the Kremlin has developed year 2014 a system code named Sorm-2 to monitor Russian citizens.
Who has made original Sorm-systems to Russia?
Now we know something about that.
UpGuard has disclosed a data breach that compromised the security of old Russian telecommunications infrastructure.
This breach includes details of the FSB's Sorm, surveillance system.
Read Telecommunications Breakdown: How Russian Telco Infrastructure was Exposed

A storage device, made by Nokia, containing 1.7 terabytes of information detailing telecommunications installations throughout the Russian Federation was exposed to the public internet.
In an email to UpGuard, Nokia states the data set

was a hand-over folder

from a Nokia employee to an unnamed third party.
The unnamed third party then

failed to follow his company’s business processes, security policies and his personal responsibility to protect it.

The rsync server was not directly hosted by Nokia, claims Upguard.com
Why Nokia manufactures data phishing systems ?
And it does it to the Russia.
it can be also the moral question.
And that's clearly it.

Det passar för Etnogalan

Där inget stelt umgänge utlovas, trots att det handlar om en prisgala, i stället är det dags att glädjas och njuta av musik och dans.
Rockklubben Tavastia förvandlas till en etnoklubb med två scener 9.1.2020 kl. 19. Stämningen på Tavastia passar Etnogalan
Vid själva galan varvas imponerande uppträdanden med prisutdelningar på olika scener. Yle streamar galan direkt på Yle Arenan. Dessutom görs tre TV-program om kvällens artister som sänds under våren på Yle Teema. Galan sänds också direkt via Yle Radio 1. Programmen kan ses och höras via Yle Arenan även utanför Finland.

Folkdräkt är en Facebookgrupp (i bilden) grundad 2010 (med 8500 medlemmar) för alla som är intresserade av folkdräkter. Dess syfte är att dela med sig av fakta och färdigheter samt väcka diskussion och tankar.

Vad synd

D
u kräver att alla avgång från The New York Times, alla som är involverade i Brett Kavanaughs smear-berättelsen. Det är okej, men sedan koplar du allt vad du vill i den här saken - och du förstör hela saken.

I call for the Resignation of everybody at The New York Times involved in the Kavanaugh SMEAR story, and while you’re at it, the Russian Witch Hunt Hoax, which is just as phony! They’ve taken the Old Grey Lady and broken her down, destroyed her virtue and ruined her reputation...

Polisen gjorde den

Förra veckan utförde CKP flera husrannsakningar på flera olika håll i Finland, de mest uppmärksammade skedde i Borgå, Tusby och i Tammerfors.
i verkligheten polisen slog till på flera olika orter: också på Åbo, Jyväskylä, Lahtis, Joensuu, Vanda, och Helsingfors. Dom slog till mot kriminella gänget United Brotherhood - hundratals vapen och tiotals kilogram narkotika har beslagtagits
Då gavs inte mycket information om fallen, men senare avslöjade CKP att det handlar om ett enormt fall av organiserad brottslighet.
Ari Lahtela från CKP säger att organisationerna har fått insiderinformation direkt av polisen. Han preciserar att det hör ihop med fallet Jari Aarnio, men exakt hur det har gått till eller om Aarnio själv gjort sig skyldig till något berättar han inte.

Om klimatkrisen

Är alla klimatforskarna överens om klimatkrisen och dess orsaker?
Nej,
Nej, men spelar det någon roll?

Det är som om försiktighetsprincipen aldrig existerat.

Men denna försiktighetsprincip finns räcktlig orsaken att göra allt som man kan göra.

Det finns gott om dem som är beredda att kasta försiktighetsprincipen på sophögen och glatt ignorera alla risker, och kasta mer kol under pannan, baserat på den pyttelilla sannolikheten att några enstaka tvivlare har rätt, 

skriver Marcus Rosenlund.
Jag är en "enstaka tvivlare", men tycker jag riskerna finns så strora, att allt som är möjligt moste göras.

"It’s very difficult to imagine a solution to global crises without Russia"

The call by Finland, which holds the EU’s rotating presidency, echoes similar pleas by other countries in the bloc.

President Emmanuel Macron of France has been particularly proactive, courting both sides in an effort to resolve the Ukraine crisis.

Белая смерть

 "Koko sodassa oloaikanani ammuin noin 500 ryssää."

One man was a renowned sniper during the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union. The fighting, which began in November 1939 and ended in a Russian victory in mid-March, was fiercest along Finland’s eastern border, in Karelia. Read something about Simo Häyhä, (1905 - 2002), whose life this story imaginatively elaborates on.
Häyhä wrote his own diary in 1939 and 1940 about his own war experiences and so on. This booklet was lost until the heirs of Häyhä recent discovered the texts:

Throughout my war, I shot about 500 rounds Russians.

The White Death, like russians called him, was a homosexual, probably: his best friend's name (after the war) was Mikael Hallikainen.
Simo Häyhä pretty much concealed his tendencies, and after the war he lived his life in Ruokolahti but his life was threatened many times.
Why?
Both male and female same-sex sexual activity have been legal in Finland since 1971 with some kind of promotion thereof decriminalized and the age of consent equalized in 1999, and homosexuality declassified as an illness in 1981. Discrimination based on sexual orientation in areas such as employment, the provision of goods and services, etc, was criminalized in 1995 and discrimination based on gender identity in 2005.
Same-sex marriage and joint adoption by same-sex couples were approved by the Finnish Parliament in 2014, and the law took effect on 1 March 2017.
But listen: over the war times it was a hard crime.
