One thing you avoid doing on sets: Eating more of set food as it gives me acidity
What is your current obsession: Normally I am obsessed with travelling and at the moment I have no obsession. But I am definitely occupied with the renovation of my house.
If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it: A sea-facing terrace apartment on the highest floor in Bandra Bandstand.
What are your must-have pieces for winter: An Armani Jacket and a good pull over
A language that you would like to learn: French
Your favorite quote: Live and Let Live
Your dream-job: I am doing my dream job and I love acting. On a higher note, my dream would be to act in a Hollywood movie.
If Scarlett Johansson was the last woman alive with you, what would you do: Everything possible that a man can dream of doing.
If you have to put up a matrimonial ad for an arranged marriage, how will it read: A spaced out, Osho believer looking out for a girl who wants to live life on her own and yet be married.
Does having a married co-star affect your on-screen chemistry?
Not at all! Suhasi has a very supportive family that trusts her completely and stands by her decision to work in the industry. I have met some of them. I have met her husband and he's a great guy. Her in-laws believe in the Barjatyas and so there's no negative vibes at all for me to be working with her.
At what point in your life did you realize you wanted to be an actor?
I realized quite late in my life that I wanted to be an actor. I'm a chemical engineer by qualification. I got a KT in my last year. I pursued event management and that's what gave me an entry into the field of entertainment. I've worked with experts like Umang Kumar.
When I saw what happened at these events I was like- 'I wanna be on stage, I wanna dress up, I wanna give interviews.' I realized I loved everything about an actor's life. So I started giving auditions and here I am.
You see, this is the reason why coming everyday to the sets does not feel mundane at all. I love coming to the sets every day. I love every moment of being in this profession.
Have you achieved whatever you had planned you would by this time?
I don't make such time limited plans. I don't keep any physical goals like- by so and so time I'll buy my own apartment or own a Mercedes. Nope!
I'd made a goal that I want to be an actor and I've achieved that goal. The press and media are accepting me and I'm happy with this achievement. Somewhere down the line I want to make films and contribute more to the entertainment industry. But then again, that has no cut-off line.
What are the three things, according to you, that aspiring actors should always bear in mind?
First, know the job.
Second, stay true to it. Be sincere.
Third, it is the medium that makes you and not the other way around. You are never bigger than the medium.
What is the motto of your life?
My motto is as the classic song goes, "Don't worry, be happy".

I have a few viking books. I have the Robert Smith book, which I haven't even begun to read yet, I don't know why. I also have a book called "Golden Wars" or something like that I think, it's a book about the Viking/packer rivalry, which was a really good book. It talked about each decade of the rivalry and then had a little blurb about each of the games and who won and lost. I just got another viking book about a month ago, but have no clue what the name of it is. And lastly, as a joke one of my gf's friends bought a book that is intended for a kid where you put your picture in the book and you are the QB for the vikes and you end up winning the game. It's tough to describe, but I think it is called "If I were a Viking" or something like that!

The Importance Of Value Honest: Determining Factors And Some Hints To Ethics
AbstractHonesty is deemed as crucial ground for ethical behaviour in various respects. The aim of this paper is to explore to what extent and in what ways the individual value honest signifies in the organisations of Baltic States and Russia and to draw some managerial implications on the basis of our findings. The subjects of study had different cultural background (Estonians from Estonia, Russians from Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) and they were asked to rank their own terminal and instrumental values, including the value honest as well as to speculate how their co-workers would rank the same list of values. Consequently, there were two lists of terminal and instrumental values for every respondent and the following analysis focuses on the comparisons of the importance, impact of other values and socio-demographic characteristics (i.e. gender, age, organisational position, and country of residence). One of the most important findings of our study is that the assessment of peer's value honest tells the most how important honest is for the focal person. Results reveal also the role of some other personal values as well as the country of residence in respect with the importance of value honest.

Chrome Apps provide the power and user experience of native apps with the development simplicity and security of the Web, and integrate seamlessly with Google services like Drive. Chrome Apps run on Mac, Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS, as well as iOS and Android, right out of the box.
Portable Native Client is a technology that enables portable, secure execution of native applications in Chrome. This extension of the Native Client project brings the performance and low-level control of native code to modern web browsers without sacrificing the security and portability of the web.
PNaCl helps developers produce a platform-independent form of their native application and run it in the browser without any installs. Behind the scenes, Chrome translates PNaCl applications to machine code at runtime to achieve near-native performance. On other browsers, PNaCl applications can use Emscripten and pepper.js to maintain functionality with a minimal performance hit.

Blink is Chrome's open-source rendering engine. The Blink team is evolving the web and addressing the issues encountered by developers.
There have been a number of behind-the-scenes improvements started since our April launch.
First thing we did was to delete half our source, which we didn't necessarily need. We're still not done! And we're not doing this blind: code removal is based on anonymously reported aggregate statistics from Chrome users who opt in to reporting.
We publish a new developer API every six weeks: the same as Chrome's shipping schedule is.
One big change we made when we forked from Blink was to add an intents system: every time before we're going to change the web platform, we send a public announcement to Blink dev announcing our intent to add or remove a feature. Then we go off, and we code it! And then the very next day after the feature is checked in, it's already there shipping in our Canary builds. This feature is off by default, but you can turn it on using about:flags.
Then, on our public mailing list we announce an intent to ship.
At chromestatus.com you can see the features we've worked on, the features we've shipped, and those we're planning to deprecate. You can also check the Chromium Releases blog, which has links to bugs and to our tracker dashboard.
Another big change is that we're removing WebKit prefixes. The intent is not to use Blink prefixes, but to have run-time flags (and not just compile-time flags).
Android WebView has been a big challenge – but HTML5Test shows that things are getting better. We're much closer to desktop in terms of having one set of web platform APIs everywhere (Web Audio is a great example of this!)
But how does the sausage machine work? Every single change we make to Blink is immediately run through over 30,000 tests, not to mention all the Chromium tests that run additionally later. We use 24 hour sheriffing, with thousands of bots, thousands of benchmarks, and systems that throw millions of broken web pages at our engine to make sure it doesn't fall over. We know that mobile is significantly slower, and this is something we're working hard to improve.
So what's new?
We want to know what you have to say!
If you feel C++ in your blood and want to write C++ with us, all of our code is open. You don't have to tell anybody or evangelize to us. You can just simply post a patch or file a bug!

More people are connected to the web today than ever before – and from more places.
We're connected with our laptops, phones and tablets, and probably soon enough with personal devices and accessories. We access the internet from untrusted and sometimes even hostile networks. With so much of our lives moving online, it's imperative we take steps to protect our data and our users' data.
Above all, as developers we need to understand the necessity and practicality of SSL.
What's SSL? It stands for Secure Sockets Layer, and it's a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communication security over the internet. It guarantees privacy, via encryption and integrity, to prevent snooping or tampering with your internet connection. SSL has it's flaws, but it's the leading way – and really the only way – to ensure any kind of data communication security on the internet.
According to SSL Pulse, a year ago we had about just under 15% of SSL adoption; we're now over 50% adoption.
Two acronyms:
TLS: for most intents and purposes the same as SSL. To be precise, SSL 3.1 was renamed to TLS, and TLS is the IETF Standard name. But they're interchangeable!
HTTPS: this is HTTP over SSL, just the layering of the security capabilities of SSL and standard HTTP. First the client–server handshake, using public/private key cryptography to create a shared key – which is used by the second part of the SSL protocol to encrypt communication.
Networking on the internet may feel safe, immediate and fast. It feels like we're talking directly to the website. But in reality, it's not a direct connection. Our communications go via a wifi router, an ISP, and potentially other intermediary proxies between your device and the website. Without HTTPS, all our communications is in plain text.
Trouble is, users rarely type in a full URL specifying HTTPS – or they click a link using HTTP. Worse, it's possible to mount a (wo)man-in-the-middle attack and replace HTTPS with HTTP. A tool called SSLstrip introduced in 2009 does just that. Firesheep, from 2010, just listened to opened wifi networks for cookies being sent in the clear: that meant you could listen in on chat, or log in to someone's Facebook account.
But SSL is (relatively) cheap, fast and easy to deploy (check out ssllabs.com and Ilya Grigorik's book High Performance Browser Networking). For non-commercial use, you can even get free certificates from startssl.com! Public Key Pinning is designed to give website operators a means to restrict which certificate authorities can actually issue certificates for their sites.
"In January this year (2010), Gmail switched to using HTTPS for everything by default. .. In order to do this we had to deploy no additional machines and no special hardware. On our production frontend machines, SSL accounts for < 1% of the CPU load, < 10 KB of memory per connection, and < 2% of network overhead…
If you stop reading now you only need to remember one thing: SSL is not computationally expensive any more."
– Overclocking SSL, Adam Langley (Google)
Lastly, a couple of bugs we see most commonly:

Along with a proliferation of new devices and platforms on the web, we're seeing huge growth in audio, video and realtime communication. Online media is transforming the way we consume media of all kinds.
A UK government study found that 53% of adults 'media multi-task' while watching TV: using mobile devices to share and consume media. In many countries TV viewing is down and online viewing is up. In China, for example, in 2012 only 30% of households in Beijing watched TV, down from 70% in 2009. According to the W3C Highlights 2013, 'In the past year video-watching on mobile devices has doubled. This year in the US, the average time spent with digital media per day will surpass TV viewing. Viewing is no longer a passive act. In the US, 87% of entertainment consumers say they use at least one second-screen device while watching television.' According to Cisco 'video ... will be in the range of 80 to 90 percent of global consumer traffic by 2017'. That equates to nearly a million minutes of video every second.
So what do we have for web developers? An ecosystem of media APIs for the open Web: standardized, interoperable technologies that work across multiple platforms.

Knowing your way around your development tools is key to becoming a performance Grand Master. Colt stepped through the three pillars of performance: network, compute and render, providing a tour of the key problem in each area and the tools available for finding and eradicating them.
Network and latency typically accounts for 70% of a site's total page load time. That's a large percentage, but it also means that any improvements you make there will reap huge benefits for your users. In this talk Ilya stepped through recent changes in Chrome that will improve loading time, as well as a few changes you can make in your environment to help keep network load to an absolute minimum.
Hitting 60fps in your projects directly correlates to user engagement and is crucial to its success. In this talk Nat and Tom talked about Chrome's rendering pipeline, some common causes of dropped frames and how to avoid them.
Polymer is one gateway into the amazing future of Web Components. We want to make it easy to consume and build custom elements. For the past year, the team has been working hard on a set of polyfills for the evolving specifications. On top of that, we've created a convenient sugaring library to make building web components easier. Lastly, we're crafting a set of UI and utility elements to reuse in your apps. At the 2013 Chrome Dev Summit, I dove into the different parts of Polymer and the philosophy behind our "Everything is an element" mantra.
Slides: http://html5-demos.appspot.com/static/cds2013/index.html
<select> to custom elements)
Slides: http://html5-demos.appspot.com/static/cds2013/index.html#6
Building web pages in the 90s was limiting, but powerful. We only had a few elements at our disposal. The powerful part?...everything was declarative. It was remarkably simple to create a page, add form controls, and create an "app" without writing gobs of JavaScript.
Take the humble
<select> element. There is a ton of functionality built into the element, simply by declaring it:
<option>) with a default UI, but configurable via attributes.
Web Components provide the tools to get back to this heyday of web development. One where we can create new elements, reminiscent of
<select>, but designed for the use cases of 2014. For example, if AJAX was invented today it would probably be an HTML tag (example):
<polymer-ajax url="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/"
Or responsive elements that data-bind to a
queryMatches attribute:
<polymer-media-query query="max-width:640px" queryMatches="{{isPhone}}"></…
This is exactly the approach we're taking in Polymer. Instead of building monolithic JavaScript-based web apps, let's create reusable elements. Over time, an entire app grows out of composing smaller elements together. Heck, and entire app could be an element:
Slides: http://html5-demos.appspot.com/static/cds2013/index.html#37
Polymer contains a number of conveniences for building web component based applications:
<polymer-element extends="...">
<input id="input" value="{{foo}}">
<button on-click="{{handleClick}}">
xFoo.bar = 5 <->
<x-foo bar="5">
barChanged: function() {...}
Moral of the story is that writing Polymer elements is all about being declarative. The less code you have to write, the better ;)
Slides: http://html5-demos.appspot.com/static/cds2013/index.html#26
I would be remissed if I didn't give a shout out to the standards behind Web Components. After all, Polymer is based on these evolving foundational APIs.
We're on the cusp of a very exciting time in web development. Unlike other new features being added to the web platform, the APIs that make up Web Components are not shiny or user-facing. They're purely for developer productivity. Each of the four main APIs is useful by itself, but together magical things happen!
If you want to learn more about the fundamentals of the APIs, check out ebidel.github.com/webcomponents.
The Chrome Dev Summit finished a couple of weeks ago, and here's the first in a series of reports from the event. There was a strong emphasis on Mobile and Cross-device development, so we'll kick off with that!
After an analysis of the mobile-friendliness of the top 1000 sites we found some problem areas: 53% still only provide a desktop-only experience, 82% of sites have issues with interactivity on a mobile device and 64% of sites have text that users will have issues reading.
PageSpeed Insights just launched a UX analysis for determining how mobile-friendly your site is. It will help you find common problems with your sites mobile UX. Try it out!

Users will be accessing your sites and services from a multitude of devices with a wide range of different accessibility requirements. By using the correct semantic elements and correct ARIA roles you help give the browser and assistive technology a much improved understanding of your page.

We all know the problems that developers have had in the past building for WebView: Limited HTML5 features, no debugging tools, no build tools. With the introduction of a Chromium powered WebView in Android 4.4 (KitKat) developers now have a huge range of new tools at their disposal to build great native apps using the WebView.
The WebView supports full remote debugging with the same tools you use for Chrome. You can also take your trusted web development workflow with Grunt and integrate that into your native stack tooling via Gradle. Further merging worlds, there's a clever trick to use the Chrome DevTools to test your native code from Javascript.

There's a solid multi-device approach for quick iteration with LiveReload, Grunt, Yeoman, and the newly-unveiled Mini Mobile Device Lab. Lastly, if you don't have the physical hardware you want to test, some providers make it available through the cloud.
Slides: Optimizing your Workflow for a Cross-device world
We learnt many things from this talk: Jake doesn't wear shoes when presenting; Business Kinlan has a new book coming out soon; Offline is being taken seriously by browser vendors and you will soon have the tools in your hands that help you build great experiences that work well when you are offline.
ServiceWorker will give us the flexibility that we need to build compelling offline first experiences with ease and not suffer the pains inflicted by AppCache. You can even experiment with the API using a Polyfill.

Allo' Allo' and Happy Holidays! Welcome to the second issue of the Yeoman monthly digest – our regular round-up of articles, tips, generators and videos to help you stay on top of what's new with your favourite man-in-a-hat. We hope you find the updates below helpful!
It's tempting to try every Grunt plug-in out there – there's a bajillion! It's also easy to get carried away. Before you know it, you're staring at your terminal far longer than you used to be, waiting for your tasks to complete. It can be frustrating during your build, but super frustrating during your watch.
Fortunately, the community has been working towards speeding up your development cycle even more.

With special thanks to Stephen Sawchuk, Sindre Sorhus and Pascal Hartig for their review of this issue
A number of updated features have made it into the Chrome DevTools recently, some small, some big. We'll start out with the Element panel's updates and move on to talk about Console, Timeline, and more.
Copying entire CSS rules in the Styles pane will now include styles you toggled off, they will exist in your clipboard as commented out. [crbug.com/316532]
'Copy as CSS path' is now available as a menu item for DOM nodes in the Elements panel (similar to the Copy XPath menu item).
Generation of CSS selectors do not have to be limited to your stylesheets/JavaScript, they can also be alternatives for locator strategies in WebDriver tests. [crbug.com/277286]
Child elements of a shadow root can now have their styles inspected. [crbug.com/279390]
The copy() method from the Command Line API now works for objects. Go ahead and try
copy({foo:'bar'}) into the Console panel and notice how a stringified & formatted version of the object is now in your clipboard. [crbug.com/289348]
Filter console messages using regular expressions in the Console panel. [crbug.com/318308]
getEventListeners(document).mousewheel[0]; in the Console panel to retrieve the first mousewheel event listener on the document. Carrying on from this, try
$_.remove(); to remove that event listener (
$_ = value of the most recently evaluated expression). [crbug.com/309524]
Those "Invalid CSS property value"-style warnings you might have seen are now removed. There are ongoing efforts into making the implementation more robust against real world CSS including browser hacks. [crbug.com/309982]
The Timeline panel now contains a pie chart in the Details pane which visually shows the source of your rendering costs - this helps you identify your bottlenecks at a glance.
You'll find that much of the information which used to be displayed in popovers has now been promoted to its own pane. To view, start a Timeline recording and select a frame, take note of the new Details pane which contains a pie chart. When in Frames view, you'll get interesting stats like average FPS (
1000ms/frame duration) for the selected frame(s). [crbug.com/247786]
Image resize and decode events in the Timeline panel now contain a link to the DOM node in the Elements panel.
The Image URL link takes you to the corresponding resource in the Resources Panel. [crbug.com/244159]
Frames occurring on the GPU are now shown at the top, above frames on the main thread. [crbug.com/305863]
'popstate' is now available as an event listener breakpoint in the Sources panel sidebar. [crbug.com/88112]
Opening the drawer now presents a number of panes, one of which is the Rendering panel, use it to show paint rectangles, FPS meter etc. This is enabled by default at Settings > "Show 'Rendering' view in console drawer"
Image assets in the Resources panel can now have their contents copied as a data URI (
To try this out, find the image resource within Frames > [Resource] > Images and right click on the image preview to access the context menu, then select 'Copy Image as Data URL'. [crbug.com/321132]
If you've never thought they belong, Data URIs can now be filtered out of the Network tab. Select the Filter icon to view other resource filter types. [crbug.com/313845]
If you saw your image apparently taking 300,000 years to download, our apologies. ;) These incorrect timings for network resources have now been fixed. [crbug.com/309570]
The behavior of recording network is a little different. First, the record button acts just like you would expect from Timeline or a CPU profile. And because you'd expect it, if you reload the page while DevTools is open, network recording will automatically start. It'll then turn off, so if you want to capture network activity after page load, turn it on. This makes it easier to visualize your waterfall without late-breaking network requests skew the results. [crbug.com/325878]
User stylesheets are now available through DevTools Experiments (checkbox: "Allow custom UI themes") which allows a Chrome extension to apply custom styling to DevTools. See Sample DevTools Theme Extension for an example. [crbug.com/318566]
That's it for this edition of the DevTools digest, if you haven't already, check out the November edition.
Users expect smooth 60fps animations in modern multi-device UIs. Achieving that level of performance with the web's current animation primitives can be difficult. Fortunately we're working on a new Blink animation implementation that just shipped in Chrome Canary!
What's exciting about this is that it simplifies the internals of Blink and lays the groundwork for inclusion of new API features from the Web Animations 1.0 specification.
Until now, CSS Animations and CSS Transitions had been separate implementations, written independently, that didn't necessarily play well together. For the past few years, browser implementers have been working together on a next-generation animation model with support for things like synchronization, chaining animations to run in sequence, seeking to arbitrary points in animation time, allowing animations to change speed, reverse and more.
The effort led to the formation of the W3C specification Web Animations 1.0.
The first step from the Blink team in getting Web Animations out into the world is replacing the existing Blink CSS Animations/Transitions C++ implementation with the Web Animations engine. Having reached that milestone now, we'd like as many developers as possible to check nothing's been broken and more importantly to keep an eye on the implementation effort and give us feedback on what's good/bad or might need changing.
We're looking for active feedback on the proposed API to make sure we haven't missed any features needed for powerful animation control. As with any new feature, the specification will continue to change, so now is the time to make your voice heard – ideally by subscribing to and contributing to the mailing list email@example.com (and put [Web Animations] in the subject line so it gets noticed).
Try out the new engine that's already powering CSS Animations & Transitions now and post any weirdness to the Chromium bug tracker so we know about it.
We're excited to bring next-generation animation capabilities to Blink and look forwarding to working with other browser developers like WebKit and Mozilla who've also committed to implementing the new model.
You'll find large articles throughout this site dedicated to shaving 10ms here and 90ms there in order to deliver a fast and fluid user experience. Unfortunately every touch-based mobile browser, across platforms, has an artificial ~300ms delay between you tapping a thing on the screen and the browser considering it a "click". When people think of the web as being sluggish compared to native apps on mobile, this is this one of the main contributors.
However, as of Chrome 32 for Android, which is currently in beta, this delay is gone for mobile-optimised sites, without removing pinch-zooming!
This optimisation applies to any site that uses:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
(or any equivalent that makes the viewport <= device-width)
If you go to a site that isn't mobile optimised, it starts zoomed out so you can see the full width of the page. To read the content, you either pinch zoom, or double-tap some content to zoom it to full-width. This double-tap is the performance killer, because with every tap we have to wait to see if it might become a double-tap, and that wait is 300ms. Here's how it plays out:
This pause applies to click events in JavaScript, but also other click-based interactions such as links and form controls.
You can't simply shortcut this with
touchend listeners either. Compare these demos on a mobile browser other than Chrome 32:
Tapping on the rows changes their colour. The
touchend example is much faster but also triggers after scrolling depending on the browser. This is because the spec doesn't define what can cancel the flow of touch events. Current versions of iOS Safari, Firefox, IE, and the old Android Browser trigger
touchend after scrolling, Chrome doesn't.
Microsoft's PointerEvents spec does the right thing and specifies that
pointerup doesn't trigger if a lower-level action such as scrolling occurs. However, currently only IE supports pointer events, although Chrome has a ticket for it. But even then, the 300ms delay would only be dropped on sites that used this listener in a way that applied to all links, form elements, and JavaScript interactions on the page.
Chrome and Firefox for Android have, for some time now, removed the 300ms tap delay for pages with this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no">
Pages with this cannot be zoomed, therefore "double-tap to zoom" isn't an interaction, therefore there's no need to wait for double-taps. However, we also lose pinch-zooming.
Pinch-zooming is great for taking a closer look at a photo, some small print, or dealing with a set buttons/links that are placed too closely together. It's an out-of-the-box accessibility feature.
If a site has…
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
…double-tap zooms in a little bit. Not a particularly useful amount. A further double-tap zooms back out. We feel this feature, on mobile-optimised pages, isn't useful. So we removed it! This means we can treat taps as clicks instantly, but we retain pinch-zooming.
We don't believe so, but the reason we release beta versions of Chrome is so users can try new features and give us feedback.
We tried to imagine a user this may affect, someone who:
But they're catered for by the text sizing tools in Chrome's settings, or the screen magnifier in Android, which covers all sites and native apps, and can be activated by triple-tap.
However, we may have missed something, so if you are affected by this change, or know someone who is, let us know in the comments or file a ticket.
I don't know, but I hope so.
Firefox has a ticket for it and currently avoids the 300ms delay for unzoomable pages.
On iOS Safari, double-tap is a scroll gesture on unzoomable pages. For that reason they can't remove the 300ms delay. If they can't remove the delay on unzoomable pages, they're unlikely to remove it on zoomable pages.
Windows phones also retain the 300ms delay on unzoomable pages, but they don't have an alternative gesture like iOS so it's possible for them to remove this delay as Chrome has. You can remove the delay using:
html {
-ms-touch-action: manipulation;
touch-action: manipulation;
Unfortunately this is a non-standard Microsoft extension to the pointer events spec. Also, programmatic fixes like this are opt-in by the developer, whereas the Chrome fix speeds up any existing mobile-optimised site.
FastClick by FT Labs uses touch events to trigger clicks faster & removes the double-tap gesture. It looks at the amount your finger moved between
touchstart and
touchend to differentiate scrolls and taps.
Adding a
touchstart listener to everything has a performance impact, because lower-level interactions such as scrolling are delayed by calling the listener to see if it
event.preventDefault()s. Thankfully, FastClick will avoid setting listeners in cases where the browser already removes the 300ms delay, so you get the best of both!

King Chip - Fat Raps
Artist: King Chip
Featuring: Curren$y , Big Sean
Producer: Chuck Inglish
Album: The Cleveland Show Mixtape
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 25 total votes )
It's almost impossible to listen to a Chip Tha Ripper track and not be immediately reminded of Kid Cudi. Chip's deep voice aside, both have their own unique sound, both rap about clothes, weed and girls, and, perhaps not coincidentally, both are from the city of Cleveland. Further proof of Chip's Cudiness (or vice-versa) can be found on his new track, Fat Raps, featuring Curren$y & Big Sean. Similar to his last mixtape leak Movie, Fat Raps combines a slow moving, mechanical and almost trippy beat from Chuck Inglish (of The Cool Kids fame) with Chip's smooth, always witty lyrics. Unfortunately, Curren$y and Big Sean don't bring much to the lyrical table, although the latter's "New York to L.A. I beat the sunset," is one of the track's best lines. Regardless of guest features, Fat Raps shows why Cleveland might just be the new spot to watch for quality hip-hop. Fat Raps is the third leak off The Cleveland Show mixtape, due to hit your speakers in December.

WASHINGTON — House and Senate conferees are reportedly close to agreement on a five-year farm bill to replace the one that expired Sept. 30, 2012.
According to much conventional wisdom, this is cause for celebration. The gridlock that forced the farm sector to get by with temporary bills for more than a year is "the poster child for the state of dysfunction in Congress and American politics," as Congress-watcher Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute put it.
Actually, Congress' willingness to debate ag policy at length is a sign of political health. The farm bill long has been an irrational, subsidy-laden monstrosity. It's about time somebody challenged the ag lobby's hammerlock on Capitol Hill.
Why do we even need a farm bill, with its billions in subsidized crop insurance and definitions of "milk marketing orders" and "base acreage"? Is there something about farming, as opposed to other businesses, that makes market economics uniquely inapplicable?
Supposedly the goal is food security: making sure agriculture pays well enough that rural America can always provide affordable commodities to the cities and suburbs where 82 percent of the population lives. Perhaps government intervention was necessary to achieve this during the Great Depression, when the New Deal first federalized farm policy.
But that's preposterous now. This obesity-plagued nation is ankle-deep in cheap food. In 2012, the average U.S. household devoted just 6.4 percent of its spending to food eaten at home, easily the lowest percentage in the developed world, according to the Agriculture Department (USDA). Yet the average person in the United States consumed 474 calories per day more in 2010 than in 1970.
Meanwhile, the USDA forecasts record farm net income of $131 billion in 2013, spread among many fewer farms than we had in the 1930s. U.S. farms export about a quarter of what they produce in a typical year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.

Masters in the art of "dehumanization"
Reader R. H. Posma, Arts'69, from Oshawa, ON, says Alfred Bader's wartime experiences in a Canadian POW camp were not unique.
Re: "A word and a missing suitcase," Issue #2-2011, p. 30
I enjoyed reading about the Alfred Bader experience as alien, POW, refugee, and prisoner, and I was somewhat reminded of my own experience in a Japanese concentration camp located in East Java, Indonesia from 1941 to 1944. The folks who run these concentration or POW camps seem to have been unusually capable in having made life as unpleasant as possible for their guests, and they were masters in the art of "dehumanization."
Why a 16-year-old Austrian national in England in 1940 had to be arrested and interned by the enlightened Winston Churchill ("Collar the lot!") is peculiar to say the least.
During this time, my German wife was a resident of West Prussia (now Poland) where her parents owned a thriving farm. There were British POWs there, and apparently they had a choice as combatant POWs, of going to a POW camp, or spending time on one of several farms to help with the various chores. My wife parents were assigned 12 British officers who spent the remaining war years (unguarded) on their farm. In due course these POWs sort of became part of the family, and when the Russian army was advancing westward, my wife's family and the British POWs all ventured westward to meet up with the western armies. My wife's father was taken by the Russians sent to some Siberian detention camp, and was never heard from again.
As for Alfred Bader's stolen suitcase, as devastating as that would have been to the 16-year-old Mr. Bader, he may be assured that the women and children in the Japanese concentration camps in Indonesia were denied any of their possessions as a matter of course.

Thought you 'couldn't wait' to get back together? Nadine Coyle misses out on Kimberley Walsh's 31st birthday celebrations
Just days ago they were waxing lyrical about how they 'couldn't wait' to get back together following their three-year hiatus from the music industry.
But Nadine Coyle was notably absent as Kimberley Walsh celebrated her 31st birthday alongside Girls Aloud bandmates Cheryl Cole and Nicola Roberts on Wednesday night.
As the trio hit London's exclusive Zuma restaurant for a slap-up meal, Nadine was doing her own thing just a few minutes cab ride down the road.
Doing her own thing: Nadine Coyle seemed to have snubbed Kimberley Walsh's birthday dinner as she stepped out in London on Wednesday night
The 27-year-old singer spent the evening at Home House in Portland Square, by no means a million miles away from her bandmates' choice of destination in Knightsbridge.
Nadine wrapped up against the winter cold in a chic black trench coat, which she teamed with burgundy suede knee-high boots and a bright aqua handbag, with her light brunette locks tumbling around her shoulders.
The Northern Irish beauty hugged a male pal as she prepared to depart the venue, before jumping in to a nearby car.
No-show: Nadine spent her evening at Home House in Portland Square, not a million miles away from her bandmates choice of destination in Knightsbridge
Companion: Nadine hugged a male pal before disappearing into the night
And Nadine wasn't the only Girls Aloud member notably absent from the celebrations, with Sarah Harding also seemingly nowhere to be seen.
But Kimberley, Cheryl and Nicola certainly didn't let their bandmates' no-show get them down, with the girls treating themselves to a decadent three-course meal and by the sounds of things having an all-round great evening.
Cheryl wrote on her Twitter page: 'Almost ate myself to death with the girls @KimberleyJWalsh @NicolaRoberts why did we do the desserts?'
Best of friends? Just last Friday, Nadine said she 'couldn't wait' to get back together with her Girls Aloud bandmates
Nicola responded: 'I can't even think about it! I feel sick! Help me pls!'
Birthday girl Kimberley added: 'Asking myself the same question! Time to undo the leather trousers I think.'
Cheryl undoubtedly stole the show when it came to the girls' choice of outfits, showcasing her incredible figure in a form-fitting tan leather shift dress, which she teamed with nude heels and lashings of scarlet lipstick.
Kimberley and Nicola followed suit with the leather theme, with the birthday girl looking chic and sexy in tight-fitting leather trousers and a grey wool jacket.
Hell for leather: Cheryl Cole looked incredible in a form-fitting tan leather dress as she attended Kimberley's birthday celebrations at upmarket Zuma restaurant
Birthday celebrations: Birthday girl Kimberley Walsh opted for a sexy pair of leather trousers, while Nicola Roberts wrapped up in a chunky cream sweater
Meanwhile, Nicola wrapped up against the cold weather in a leather skirt and chunky cream wool sweater, which she teamed with punky bow-detail stilettos.
Just days ago, the band explained they had put their alleged past disagreements behind them.
When questioned by host Terry Wogan following their performance on BBC's Children In Need last Friday, Nadine said: 'What disagreements?'
Kimberley explained: 'We've all fallen back into the same roles like nothing's ever changed.'
Cheryl insisted: 'There is no drama.'

Huge thanks to Geist for bringing this forbidden growler the tasting.
Beer pours a hazy golden orange with a thin white head. Smell is incredible - it's one of those sour/vinous beers that really gets my mouth watering. Flavor is fantastic as well. I don't get a ton of fruit, but the wine characteristics are excellent and it's very sour and awesome. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and quite nice. Overall, this is yet another awesome wine barrel aged sour from Russian River. These guys consistently roll out the best sours in the U.S. and this is another one in that vein.

Tried this on tap at Dark Lord Day compliments of emerge077. I love Russian River and these wild sour ales are pretty much kick ass. Drank from a nice classy plastic cup (the way Vinnie intended).
Appearance- Pours a hazy golden yellow with a small bright white head that sticks around for quite a while. Leaves a decent cap and collar and some good lacing although it's hard to tell in on these stupid plastic cups.
Smell- Like you'd expect plenty of vinegary goodness stings the nostrils. Tart and fruity just the sharpness of the nose makes my mouth water. Light melon fruits such as watermelon and cantaloupe are the first thing that come to mind (it's hiding under all that twang but it's there!). Lightly funky and coarse (not as much as some) but not the focus like some other Russian River brews.
Taste- Wow, the smell prepared me for what was about to come but damn! Super sour and tart with a vinegar splash that puckers the lips. I thought it would be a bit fruitier but the amount of Brett in this badboy covers most of it up. It gets better as my mouth adjusts to the tart and the picks up a bit more. Something reminiscent of pomegranate and apricot are noticeable but all in all the acid dominates.
Mouthfeel- Medium to light body with sharp aggressive carbonation.
Drinkability- At first the beer is a little tart and is definitely a sipper. Once you adjust and the nuances begin to appear though it's a fantastic brew. Probably the most sour/tart brew that I've ever tasted and I loved it. Really tasty and a great beer that I'm glad I got to enjoy while waiting for my Dark Lord.

Growler thanks to Huhzubendah, thanks a lot for this Matt. This is my 500th review, and a fittingly rare beer to have for this review. We all bow to the Russian river sours.
The beer pours a color similar almost to an ipa with an orange semi hazy hue, but the head is very bubbly not fluffy white at all. Sme lacing left on the sides, and some bubbles in the body of the beer clinging to the glass.
The smell is very nice, a great blend of berries, stone fruits like apricot or peach and funkiness, a very nice aroma that I expect from Russian river sours. clean and not overpowering.
The beer is quite sour, but has nice flavor to back it up. High acidity in the front, almost citrus like and then a biscuit type malt center and an abrupt finish. Great fruit notes in the flavor, peach and apricot, some berries.
The feel is tart and nice, almost like a very lemony tea with a little carbonation in the feel.
Overall a nice beer, glad to have tried it.

Had this on draft last week at Russian River Brewing Co. listed on their board as "Blonde Ale with Pluots (Apricot/Plum hybrid) aged in Chardonnay barrels . 5.80% ABV / 1.048 O.G / 25 BUs" for $4 -poured into a tulip glass.
A: Pours a slightly hazy blonde/apricot hue with a decent head that dissipates quickly leaving a ton of lacing in its tracks.
S: Smells like the forest - piney woody and earthy (from the chard barrels no doubt), some funk and fermented fruit.
T: Wow - this one's unique! Fresh cut lumber - sweet resinous earthy pine up front big time (from the barrels, not from the hop), some sour funk that mixes very well with the woody aspects, there's some peppery citrus in the mix as well, and right when you think the pluots were a waste of time, they come through strong at the end and linger in the aftertaste. Tastes like Nor-Cal for sure!
M: Light/medium-bodied, crisp, well carbonated lending the the dryness, extremely refreshing leaving a lingering lactic bitterness that is nice.
D: Extremely easy to drink. If you don't like the flavor of wood in your ale, you won't be diggin this one and may get sick of the dry oaky presence like my buddy did with his. I absolutely love it though and could session these no problem.

On tap at DLD. 8oz. sample
A: Cloudy apricot. Short white head, frothy. Not much retention but a bit of lacing.
S: Very sour. Vinegar. Oh, man, what am I getting myself into? Sweet but with overpowering sourness.
T/M: Loads of sour cherries in the front. Sourness is massive. Very tart cherries, cranberries, raspberries. Vinegar is nearly overpowering. Body is light and feels very watery. Mild bitterness in the back. Gherkins pickles keeps popping into mind. It actually makes my mouth pucker a bit and then water to try and dilute it.
D: I haven't had too many soured beers but this is by leaps and bounds the most sour. I made it about half way through the sample and had to call it quits. The vinegar and sourness just intensified far too much. I appreciate what RR and all these breweries are doing with sours but I just don't think I'll even develop a taste for them. There have been styles that I've 'not liked so much' in the past but none that I have not at least come around to and none that I continually can't finish.
Note: Please don't flame me :)

On tap @ Beachwood Sour Fest on days 1 & 2.
A: Pours a nearly clear pale yellow with a very fine white head and beautiful puzzle-like lace.
N: Fruity, oak, grass, and mild funk.
T: Stone fruits (yes, pluots) up front, oak tannins, floral notes. Complex tartness.
M: Prickly fine carbonation, dry finish.
O: Been wanting this and so glad to finally have tried it. Very good - wow. Thanks Gabe (and Vinnie).

On-tap at O'Brien's, San Diego.
Pours a hazy light straw/gold color with a light white head. Mild sour aroma with a hint of vanilla and wheat. Light bodied with medium carbonation and easy to drink (low ABV too). Tastes of cherry, wheat, and some light yeast. Good, but not particularly compelling to me.

Notes from Monk's Cafe Stuff-If-Ication dinner 7 June 2011
The course title: COMPUNCTION STUFFED COMPUNCTION
Huh? What is that?
Answer: Compunction Sorbet Float
we received a flute filled with a melon-baller size scoop of compunction sorbet over this AMAZING beer.
light gold in color. no head. champagne in comparison: the flute vessel, beaded carbonation, light coloration.
smelled of white grape, pear, tart cherry, grapefruit, tangerine, lime. very sharp aroma.
holy S. to be less specific, it tasted like someone went half and half with temptation and supplication. EXCELLENT. sour as hell with a lot of grapefruit, cherry, pear, peach, and pinot grigo flavors. really smooth though--of course it's smooth, what have i learned thus far? the sorbet, however, was very subtly fruity with a bit of yeast at the back end. creamy for a sorbet, too.
thinner than the other sours supplication and temptation and definitely more thin bodied. it's resembles a sparkling white wine more closely than any beer in texture and consistency i've had to date.
wow. i mean really killer. this was only a single 4oz flute pour; by far the smallest pour of the evening. i'd defenestrate to have some more of this.

This beer pours a cloudy orange color, with pretty much no head. What little head that was present was slightly off white. It left some off white leace on the glass.
This beer has a sour aroma. It smells of tart fruit. It has a slight viniger aroma as well, but the viniger aroma certainly did not detract from this beer. I could also smells a slightly spicy aroma when I looked hard.
This beer tastes just like it smells. Sour, with tart fruit and viniger. The slight spicy aroma I detected was present in the flavor as well.
This beer was highly carbonated, suiting the style. It left a sour aftertaste.
I am not sure this beer would make the best session beer. It is not high in alcohol, but it is sour, and aggressive.
Overall: I loved this beer, and could probably drink it all night. I wish this beer would be made more available.

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 11/05/12 -- AdTheorent, Inc. (www.adtheorent.com), the only intelligent Real Time Bidding (RTB)-enabled mobile ad network, today announced the recent deployment of its Traktion tracking and analytics platform. Traktion offers advertisers a superior method for tracking post-click behavior across a wide variety of mobile advertising tactics, delivered in a manner that is technically seamless to mobile users and protective of their privacy.
With the rise of mobile web browsing on smartphones and tablets, advertisers have scrambled to replicate the powerful analytics that drive traditional and digital marketing. However, the technology involved in delivering and tracking mobile advertising is much different, and presents new obstacles. Unlike traditional Internet browsers, most mobile web browsers don't use cookies (small text files used to track online browsing and behavior). As a result, mobile advertisers have relied more on device identifiers such as Apple's "Unique Device Identifiers" (UDID) or Android's "International Mobile Equipment Identity" (IMEI). Recently, such usage is in flux as device manufacturers depreciate the use of device IDs and as consumer advocates question the use of potentially personally identifiable IDs for marketing and advertising purposes.
AdTheorent developed Traktion as an important part of its second-generation mobile ad network because data-driven modeling drives AdTheorent's intelligent mobile ad delivery. "Marketers and brands can see that mobile usage increases every month -- and yet they're frustrated with the current barriers in tracking post-click results after a consumer has clicked on a mobile ad," said Anthony Iacovone, CEO and co-founder, AdTheorent. "For too long marketers have relied on click measurement -- we believe effective digital and mobile advertising depends on the ability to model against post-click events such as App downloads or product purchases." Traktion-powered post-click analytics help provide the real-time data on which AdTheorent ad-targeting models are based.
In addition, Traktion provides these valuable conversion analytics while fostering a consumer's rights to privacy and anonymity. Traktion does not depend upon fixed, hardware-specific IDs which can be linked to a consumer's personal information, cannot be changed or reset, and provide consumers no mechanism to "opt-out." Rather, Traktion was designed to work with other standards and methods (including Apple's "identifierForAdvertising" (IFA) and Android's IMEI, each based on randomly generated (and changeable) values intended for advertisers) to identify the post-click behaviors of a device within the context of an advertiser's mobile property without identifying the device or linking it to any specific user.
"Some consumer groups have expressed legitimate concerns about advertisers accessing personally identifiable information as part of their mobile advertising efforts, and we designed Traktion to integrate with developing protocols and standards which mitigate those concerns," said James Lawson, Managing Partner and Chief Legal Officer, AdTheorent. "Our goal is to work with our partners to eliminate the false-choice between consumer privacy and mobile advertising effectiveness: we can honor the privacy of consumers while also delivering the detailed stats and analytics about post-click behavior that marketers and advertisers are looking for."
About AdTheorent
AdTheorent is the world's first truly intelligent Real Time Bidding (RTB)-enabled mobile ad network, powered by a platform built from the ground up to address the specific needs of the mobile advertising ecosystem. AdTheorent's platform delivers Intelligent Impressions by integrating its 20,000+ mobile inventory sources and analyzing hundreds of thousands of potential impressions per second based on highly enriched demographic information, behavioral factors, location data, device features, as well as other advertiser-specified targeting criteria. Using predictive modeling to identify impressions with a higher propensity for conversion and awareness lift, the AdTheorent platform places bids in real-time within the pricing parameters established by the advertiser. The result to brands and marketers is higher conversion rates at a significantly lower cost -- the Intelligent Impression. For more information visit: www.adtheorent.com

Obama's regulators claim consumer credit reports are full of "errors" and need to be "fixed." The claim is backed up by a new Federal Trade Commission study and a convenient rollout on "60 Minutes," which called its findings that 1 in 5 consumers has errors on their credit reports "unconscionable."
The government study is cynically designed to make "the 99%" think they're once again being screwed by "the 1%." Maybe you don't have bad credit, after all! Maybe you've been unfairly denied a loan, insurance or even a job!
Maybe the credit-scoring system used to gauge risk in millions of business transactions each day — the very bedrock of U.S. commerce — is corrupted.
And maybe Obama ought to step in and "reform" it.
But it's really just another collectivist ruse to equalize credit for all consumers (but specifically Democrat constituents), whether they pose a financial risk or not.
The FTC press release claims less than 80% of credit reporting is free of any error, and that's how the media have reported it.
The truth, however, is buried deep inside the report. On Page 55, the FTC admits 97.8% of credit reports contain no error that would materially increase scoring.
Even that is at odds with other studies.
The most comprehensive one, conducted in 2011 by the nonprofit Policy and Economic Research Council, found 99.5% of credit reports are materially accurate.
Difference is, the Obama FTC hired "researchers" to coach consumers in its survey how to file disputes with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and even helped them write dispute letters.
As a result, participants ID'd and disputed potential errors in 19.3% of the reports examined — four times the share in the PERC survey.
"This may be due to the use of consumer coaches," the FTC acknowledged. You think?
A 2004 Federal Reserve study, moreover, found that the chance of serious errors finding their way in credit histories "appears to be small."
Don't be misled, the administration is manufacturing another crisis to justify socializing and controlling yet another industry.
Immigration: The Obama administration has quietly released 37,477 illegal immigrant minors into the U.S. and deported a mere 280.

Labor Day is the traditional last day of summer, often celebrated by final trips to the shore and followed by public pool closings and other signs that the world is battening down the hatches for colder weather. However what most don't realize is that the day itself was originally created by ...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Target Corp. said a glitch in its system caused delays at checkout registers at some of its U.S. stores but it wasn't due to a data security issue or a hacker.
Customers across the country took to social media to report long check-out lines Sunday night due to registers not working.
The Star Tribune newspaper reported that Target employees tried to placate waiting shoppers by handing out $3 coupons in some stores that bore an apology for the delays. At a store in downtown Minneapolis, a security guard warned entering shoppers that some of the registers were down. Employees handed out free cookies and bottled water along with the coupons to customers as they waited.
The Minneapolis-based discount retailer did not elaborate on the nature of the problem, and it wasn't immediately clear how many stores were affected.
"Target has identified an issue impacting checkout at some of our U.S. stores," the company said in a statement Sunday night. "The glitch is causing delays at some checkouts, but is not in any way related to a security issue. We apologize to anyone impacted, and we are working with guests in stores where the issue has not yet been resolved to accommodate their needs."
In an update later Sunday night, the company said it had been able "able to restore our check-out process."
Target is still trying to regain customers' and investors' trust following a data theft late last year that led to the breach of millions of debit and credit card accounts, as well as a botched expansion into Canada. Shareholders at the company's annual meeting last week elected all 10 nominees to the company's board, but a rise in dissenting votes against several key directors showed that Target still has a lot of work ahead to shore up confidence in the investor community. Target is overhauling its security and technology departments and systems.
