Adventures in Streaming - AppleTV vs Chromecast
by, 24th March 2014 at 11:29 PM (9953 Views)
So, in the fruity corner we have the Apple TV. In the red, green and yellow corner we have the Google Chromecast. Which is better? There's only one way to find out!
Ahem, sorry.
I've owned an AppleTV since just after Apple released the second generation iOS version so probably for two and a half years. It's been sitting underneath my TV ever since doing stirling service streaming from Netflix and playing content streamed from my iPhone. Google announced general availability of the Chromecast in the UK last week for the princely sum of £30 so I thought "What the hey" and ordered one from Amazon. I took delivery of it on Thursday and have been playing with it a little since then. I thought I'd write a little about how the two compare.
I have to say right from the beginning that this isn't really a fair comparison. The two products are similar in one regard (i.e. they both connect to an HDMI port and can stream video from the internet to your telly) but at best the Chromecast has a small subset of the features that an Apple TV. It also only costs one third of what the Apple TV costs so maybe that subset is enough for you? Who knows?
So what can the two devices do? Well, the AppleTV is in theory a standalone device. It has a series of apps built into it which can log onto various on-line services and stream content from them. Services available in this country include the iTunes store (of course), Netflix, YouTube and others. It can connect to a lot of on-line radio stations. When there isn't a built-in app available, it can play video and audio streams from apps on your iOS devices (an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch). If your iOS device is new enough, it can wirelessly mirror the screen from iOS devices (You need an iPhone 4S or an iPad 2 or newer). The AppleTV can also be mirrored to from a Sandy Bridge or newer based Mac. There are also third party applications available to stream content from Android and Windows devices and from older Macs. The Apple TV comes with a power cable and a remote control. It can be connected to an amplifier using an optical S/PDIF cable.
With an AppleTV, you don't need an iPhone or an iPad to use it but is undeniably a lot more useful with one. The Chromecast is different. Without a smartphone, tablet or computer to stream from it's completely useless. The Chromecast is compatible with iOS devices running iOS 6 and later and Android devices running Gingerbread. You can also install an extension for Chrome which lets you stream a tab from Chrome to your TV. This is compatible with OS X Lion or newer, ChromeOS on a limited number of devices and Windows 7 or newer. With the Chrome extension there is an "experimental" feature that lets you cast your entire screen as well. However, there is an issue with that. You can only cast a 720p image to the Chromecast. Anything bigger will be cropped rather than resized. See the attached picture:
Please forgive the fuzziness but these things are hard to capture! The resolution on my Macbook is 1280x800, the traditional resolution for 13" laptop displays before 16:9 screens became common. The very top and very bottom of the picture has been chopped off, you can see that there is only half a menu bar at the top and the status lights of the apps have been cropped at the bottom. A little less visible are the thick black bars on both sides of the screen at 1280 pixels, the picture is narrower than the 1368 pixels the Chromecast displays at.
I don't have a Mac new enough to send a desktop to an AppleTV over Airplay but with iOS devices, it keeps the aspect ratio but resizes the picture to fit.
So, streaming videos.
With the AppleTV, unless the app specifically disables (Channel 4, I'm looking in your direction here. And I'm giving you the stink eye too) it you should be able to get your video onto the big screen by using either AirPlay or AirPlay mirroring. With AirPlay, you send the video stream directly to the AppleTV. With AirPlay Mirroring, it just mirrors what the device is showing. My point is, the majority of the time your app should not need to have specific support for AirPlay to work with the AppleTV.
In contrast, the ChromeCast does need explicit app support. At the moment, the range of apps that support it is very small. And don't think what I thought and try to stream a video in a tab in Chrome. Playback is very jerky and the lag is ridiculous.
Below is a screenshot from the iPhone YouTube app playing a video:
There are two icons which I want to point out to you here. One is the ChromeCast icon, it's on the top of the screenshot directly to the right of the title. The other is the AirPlay icon, it's on the bottom of the screenshot to the right of the timeline. Both work in exactly the same way, you press it and it brings up a list of detected devices. Click on the device you want to stream to and press play. Your TV will now be playing your video
Anyway, how well they both work?
The AppleTV is typically Apple. It works well as long as you work within its confines. The builtin apps do exactly what they're supposed to do. Assuming your connection is up to the job and that the stream is good, video quality is very good from all of the built in apps.
The same can be said about the Chromecast. Don't expect miracles from it and you'll be fine.
I have observed something that is quite interesting though. On my phone, I have four apps which support both AirPlay and ChromeCast natively: YouTube, Plex, iPlayer and Netflix. The video quality from YouTube and Plex to the AppleTV and Chromecast is identical, i.e. it's as good as the source.
With iPlayer and Netflix, it is significantly better on the Chromecast and my theory as to why goes like this. I think that when you send a video to the AppleTV via AirPlay, these two apps send the AppleTV the same video stream as they'd send to the iPhone, i.e. one optimised for a tiny screen on a potentially poor connection. The images they send are blocky, pixellated and have awful compression effects. The picture is worse than what you get from a low rent Freeview channel. When you send the video to a Chromecast, you seem to be getting a Chromecast specific stream. I don't think that there is anything inherently wrong with the AppleTV here, I think it's laziness on the part of the BBC and Netflix teams. The difference on Netflix is especially striking but I guess that the use case for using Airplay to stream to an AppleTV is pretty small considering that the AppleTV has native support for Netflix.
So to come back to the original question, which is better? There isn't a definitive answer to this. Both have their use cases and both have their places in their respective HDMI ports as far as I'm concerned. The AppleTV has the advantage of being a standalone device on which you can rent and buy films and music, watch Netflix and YouTube and listen to the radio on. It's also better at device mirroring. The Chromecast seems to get much better quality video streams from internet streaming sites.
I'm sure some of you are wondering which is better for use in a school. The answer to this is the AppleTV without a shadow of a doubt. It has officially supported mirroring from Macs and iOS devices, unofficially support mirroring from Android and Windows computers using third party apps and most importantly can be connected to enterprise wireless networks. The Chromecast can't.

It was an indescribable feeling as Chauncey Banks opened the door to his new home.
"Finally, I'm able to live the American dream. It just makes you feel wonderful. It's been a great experience," says Banks.
His journey began two years ago when he was encouraged by his adviser Marnie to fill out a Habitat for Humanity application.
"I met Chauncey several years ago and was just inspired by how he worked hard to rebuild his life after some struggles. I couldn't think of anything better than to help him along the road of home ownership," says Marnie Allen, a Habitat for Humanity volunteer.
Advisers serve as a bridge between partner families and the organization making sure houses turn into homes.
"I feel very humbled to be apart of that. It's just amazing, " says Allen.
Saturday's dedication ceremony was a celebration for making it through a long and rigorous process and a thanks to all those that helped.
"Without the help of the community and everybody else it wouldn't be possible. So right now, I'm here. I'm nervous. it's like having a baby. I'm scared, I'm happy, I'm nervous and I'm anxious," says new homeowner Nettie Jones Caldwell.
"Housing is a pathway to much greater things. Housing provides the stability wrapped around a person. It puts a little wind in his or her sails and helps the family dream bigger, think bigger, plan for the future and create a better future for themselves, " says Dan Rosensweig, President & CEO Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville.
Now that homeowners have slowly started to move in, they are dedicated to making the Belmont Cottages a warm and community focused environment.
"I want to have a neighborhood cook out, a welcoming neighborhood cookout with me being the chef," says Caldwell.
When complete, the 15-unit mixed-income neighborhood will feature eight habitat homes and seven single family detached lots which are now for sale to builders and individual purchasers.

The volunteer programme must teach personal and career skills along the lines of the CREES' core programme learning objectives. Volunteers must be mentored, supported and challenged.

The nasty Bruce Bartlett, who is just too darn serious a thinker to be troubled by ideas that aren't endorsed by the New York Times, lashes out at LewRockwell.com for noting the crony capitalism of the transcontinental railroad. This isn't "relevant" for Bruce, since it happened over 10 minutes ago. That Obama cites it in support of his own crony-welfare spending today is a detail I dare not raise with Busy, Important Bruce.
Bartlett started off working for Ron Paul, then switched to Jack Kemp when that seemed more opportune, and later switched to supporting Obama. Each time hoping to ride a wave of approval. Instead, no one cared.
My reply to Bruce:
@BruceBartlett Poor Bruce won't-someone-love-me Bartlett has bent over backwards to be "relevant" and trendy; has zero following. #lesson

Welcome To The Center for Integrated Medicine
Are You Ready To Start Feeling Better Today?
Traditional Chinese Medicine, It Works!
Welcome, we are general medical practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM. TCM evolved from the ancient Chinese and is both an art and a science. It is important to understand that TCM is called "Traditional" because it is a complete medical system just like allopathic conventional medicine. Chinese medicine is called Traditional because it follows accepted medical methods and has proven explanations for it's effectiveness. Therefore TCM is a complete medical system based on natural and holistic principles for both diagnostic and treatment purposes.
Partnership to Better Health
It is important for our patients and their family to have confidence in the medical treatment they receive. It is both necessary and desirable that each patient participate in maintaining good health. The following is a list to assist potential patients of Traditional Chinese Medicine/Acupuncture at our clinics.

For his part, Dexter realizes that Emma is probably the most intriguing person he has ever met. That's high praise, indeed, from a guy to whom women flock in great numbers. One Day by David Nicholls follows the two over the course of almost twenty years.
While Emma has plans to change the world, life simply happens—and in a big way—to her handsome friend. Despite her considerable talents, Emma can't seem to jumpstart her career. Dexter, on the other hand, falls into a media job. His natural attributes make him an instant success, and considerable fame and fortune follow shortly. But what Dexter was certain was the path to happiness leads him instead to a hollow existence.
What a compelling title. I happened to pick this up casually and then noticed it was a book about a young librarian. A young librarian in Italy who has adventures? Could it be? Most definitely so for the "mud angel" Margot Harrington who leaves her drab existence in the Chicago area to volunteer in Florence following devasting flooding in 1966. Along the way she undertakes the clandestine sale of a rare volume of erotica to save a convent while involved in her own clandestine love affair.
"When Eliana, still called Ellen by her close friends back in America, moved to Italy the future was bright with promise. Tuscany held magic in its sprawling vineyards, great food, and centuries of art. It was a life of the senses, perfect for a blossoming, talented young artist such as Eliana. Her family and friends back home all thought she had made the right choice in following her heart, and the man she fell in love with and married, back to his native country. In America, Eliana's story was that of a fairy tale. But in Italy, in the small, rustic village nestled in the Chianti countryside, Eliana found her husband to be a very different man."
"A magical story of love...and miracles After twenty years, Leo Pizzola has come back to the Tuscan village of Santo Fico, still single and still looking for a way to get rich. The town is as poor as it was when Leo left, yet some things have changed. Of Leo's childhood companions, only little Guido, whom everyone calls "Topo," embraces him. His best friend is long dead. The woman he once adored refuses to talk to him. And, worst of all, the kindly old town priest seems to have lost his faith. Perhaps what Santo Fico needs is a miracle-even if Leo and Topo have to manufacture one themselves. Now, as one botched scheme after another unravels, something completely unexpected happens, and wonders indeed begin to transform this Italian town, including the greatest miracle of all... ."
Gemma Jericho is an overworked New York doctor with a handful of a teenaged daughter and a mother who worries that Gemma has no life. So when her mother receives a mysterious letter telling her about an even more mysterious inheritance in Tuscany, Gemma sees her chance: the three of them throw caution and convention to the wind and leave for Italy. Gemma hopes that a change of scenery will bring back the closeness she used to share with her daughter. And perhaps the challenges of living in a foreign country will give her mother something to worry about beyond Gemma's social life. But what they encounter there is far more distracting than Gemma expected: a crumbling old villa and a town divided. Half the residents believe that Ben Raphael, another American, is the rightful inheritor of the villa. As cultures clash, gossip soars, and intrigue unfolds, Gemma is caught up in the most disturbing and delicious trouble she's ever had.
Grief is a love story told backwards.
Heidi is no strangers to loss. She almost lost her mother as a child; she lost a baby. Two years ago Heidi lost her husband Henry, and she has been lost ever since. She is a gifted pastry chef who cannot even bake a cake for her sister's wedding. The world has moved on but she has not. She is literally grief-stricken. She cannot explain to her now anxious germ-phobic son Abbott how in one moment your safe world can change suddenly and irrevocably. In The Provence Cure for the Brokenhearted, Bridget Asher captures Heidi's sadness and her path back to love with great empathy, gentle humor and vivid imagery. The novel is sweet without being sappy and great for the armchair traveler to Provence.
Michael Lee West's Mermaids in the Basement finds screenwriter Renata DeChavannes grieving from the recent loss of her mother and stepfather in an airplane crash. She retreats to her family home in the Outer Banks where she eats uncontrollably. While she is buying her movie-producer boyfriend a sweater in a little clothing store, she happens to see the tabloid article telling that her absent love is rumored to be dating his latest movie's star in faraway Dublin.
Devastated, her drinking, too, begins to get out of control. One night, a drunken Renata has a beach bonfire and burns her manuscript. When she wakes up not knowing what she has done, she looks through all of her drawers to find it but instead discovers a letter from her mother instructing her to contact her paternal grandmother in order to find out the stories of her mother's "dirty deeds."
"Amadeus meets Little Women in this irresistibly delightful historical novel by award-winning author Stephanie Cowell. The year is 1777 and the four Weber sisters, daughters of a musical family, share a crowded, artistic life in a ramshackle house. While their father scrapes by as a music copyist and their mother secretly draws up a list of prospective suitors in the kitchen, the sisters struggle with their futures, both marital and musical - until twenty-one-year-old Wolfgang Mozart walks into their lives. Bringing eighteenth-century Europe to life with unforgiving winters, yawning princes, scheming parents, and the enduring passions of young talent, Stephanie Cowell s richly textured tale captures a remarkable historical figure - and the four young women who engage his passion, his music, and his heart."
"Anna is a thirty-something midwesterner living alone in New York City. A schoolteacher by day, she is a medium by night who secretly helps people to reunite with their lost loved ones. That is, until Mozart's ghost decides to play matchmaker himself, pairing Anna up with the charming concert pianist next door...."

To celebrate 25 years promoting the simplicity of a sustainable rural lifestyle, the Dominican Sisters of Peace were joined by a host of supporters from around the country Saturday at Heartland Farm west of Great Bend, as well as many from the local community. From 1:30 to 2 p.m., local musicians Alex and Nicholas Cartwright, Ian McGilber and Trisha Weilert and Travis Marler performed as visitors enjoyed lunch and a chance to explore the farm.
Wonder and fascination with nature took wing Saturday as people of all ages, from mothers with babies to retired persons, came to the Kansas Wetlands Education Center north of Great Bend to lend a hand capturing tagging Monarch butterflies. But the late summer beauties failed to show once more in significant numbers, though a handful were caught over the course of the morning. Still, kids, had a great time catching other varieties, as well as abundant dragonflies and toads.
Each week we'll take a step back into the history of Great Bend through the eyes of reporters past. We'll reacquaint you with what went into creating the Great Bend of today, and do our best to update you on what "the rest of the story" turned out to be.
Seventh grade competitive league athletics is new to the district this year, and Administrators David Reiser and Kathy Hafner provided a status report to the USD 428 Board of Education Monday evening.
Saturday, Sept. 14, marks the 25th anniversary of the Dominican Sisters of Peace opening of Heartland Farm west of Great Bend. What started as a testament to the value of small, privately owned farms and an experiment with organic farming has evolved over a quarter century to become an example of what agri-tourism in the local economy can look like.
Sister Terry Wassinger sits on the swing near the circular driveway at Heartland Farm. Beside her sit Lily and Lennie, brother and sister farm dogs. It is her favorite place to sit and rest. But soon, she will be say goodbye to the farm that has been her home for 21 years. She's heading to Kentucky on Sunday, Sept. 15, the day after Heartland Farm celebrates its 25th anniversary.
How many people does it take to change a stadium light bulb? Four - two in the air, one in a truck and one on the ground.
Sister Amata Pantel, 95, died Aug. 24, at the Dominican Sisters' convent infirmary, in Great Bend. Born April 25, 1918, in Wakefield, as Josephine Pantel, Sister Amata was the daughter of the late Joseph and Stella Bower Pantel. She entered the Dominican Sisters' Community Aug. 28, 1934, and pronounced her first vows on Aug. 12, 1937. She celebrated 75 years of religious profession in 2012. Sister Amata gave much of her ministerial life to domestic work in the sisters' missions, laundries, kitchens and sewing rooms. Later she served as a teacher aide, gardener at the motherhouse, and in home health ...
"Imagination to the Nation", the new album by Great Bend's John Keenan, is now available on iTunes for digital download, or on CD at Perks. The Tribune met with Keenan on Thursday to talk about the direction his music is taking him as he continues exploring today's independent music scene.
Monday and Tuesday afternoons this week, Great Bend Police Sgt. Rod Weber arrived at Great Bend Middle School well before the 3:10 p.m. dismissal bell rang. He was there to remind parents that some common practices from years past are no longer allowed. They include double parking and stopping in the road to drop-off or pick up. Those transporting kids to and from school must legally park before anyone may exit the car, Weber told driver after driver.
This month, social workers and volunteers who help with the homeless across Kansas finally get to see what a picture, taken eight months ago, has developed into. But some significant data is missing from the picture.
Monday night, USD 428 School Board approved a request by the Great Bend Recreation Center to ask for a mill levy increase from 5.000 to 7.000. However, the request is being contested by a local private busniess owner, Caron Zager of Club 1 Fitness. The issues presented are complicated, with both entities providing the community a valuable service.
The evidence of the aftermath of rural school closures is as close as a fifteen minute drive west of Great Bend. Alumni of Pawnee Rock High School, which was closed in 1972, against the wishes of the patrons, came together Saturday in Great Bend for an all-class reunion. While most have moved away, they recalled fond memories of the town they grew up and went to school in. For many, like Steve Crosby, coming home and seeing how their hometown has fared since the school closed and their lives have carried them off to points elsewhere was sobering.
Third grade students in the Bonnie Ward's, Casey Gatton's and Mira Hammond's classes at Riley Elementary School had visitors during lunch Tuesday afternoon. Dr. Roger Marshall and fellow Rotarians Harry Willems and Terry Vink had lunch with students prior to visiting them in their classrooms where they distributed dictionaries to each student.
After learning Tami Shepman, reading lab instructor and Julie Buzard, reading facilitator at Great Bend Middle School had seen 80 percent gains in reading fluency and 77 percent gains in reading comprehension amongst nearly 20 percent, the USD 428 Board of Education had questions. Vice-president Joyce Carter asked on what assessments the gains were based. In May, when the district adopted the in-house assessment tool AIMSWeb, students were given benchmark tests. It's from these results, and subsequent AIMSWeb short assessments given every two weeks, that the results come from.

Riley and Park elementary students brought their winter music programs on the road Wednesday morning, and visitors at the Great Bend Senior Center benefitted. Larissa Blackwell, Park's music teacher, led her students in popular movie songs from "Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang," "The Wizard of Oz," and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Rachel McCaulley, Riley's music teacher, led students in selections from their musical production of "A Kid's Life," in which grandparents come to visit during a power outage, and help their grandchildren find non-electronic ways to entertain themselves.
In just two years, Clara Barton Hospital in Hoisington has seen a 17 percent increase in the need for physical therapy services, according to hospital foundation spokesperson Michelle Moshier. Two factors have driven this--the addition of orthopedic services and an aging population. Thursday, the hospital will hold an open house so the public can see their answer to this need.
Friday afternoon, the Barton Community College Spirit Squad visited Riley Elementary. They were there to reinforce this year's motivational theme, "Learners Today, Leaders Tomorrow." Principal JoAnn Blevins worked with a group of hand-picked student leaders before students arrived in the lunchroom for the assembly, instructing them on how students would be seated. Then, as students arrived, class by class, her helpers jumped into action, making sure the kids stayed in straight lines with the proper amount of space between. The close quarters were necessary because the group would need plenty of room to perform.
Wednesday afternoon, people reported feeling the ground shake as far north as Manhattan when a 4.8 magnitude earthquake occurred near Conway Springs, located between 80 and 90 miles from the Oklahoma border, west of Wichita.

(Video links can be found with the story at www.GBTribune.com)
Monday night, the USD 428 Board of Education was visited by several Great Bend High School students, some who were to be recognized by their coaches for their above-board efforts in fall sports, others who were there to thank the board for their support and to propose ways to increase contributions to the food bank.

Few And Far Between
THE QUICK AND THE DEAD. It had been even longer than that since I had sold him a copy of the paperback of the novel "A Simple Plan" by Scott Smith at a bookstore I was working at I Brentwood back in those days, as I've written about before. THE QUICK AND THE DEAD was not a box office success and this return to directing (the intervening years saw him working in television including executive producing the HERCULES and XENA shows) was a drastic departure from his previous films, dialing down the stylistic extremes of his visual style known from the all-holy EVIL DEAD series to practically nothing, essentially plunking the camera down on sticks and simply photographing the actors.

wow. Well, it seems that you are surely partly responsible for Raimi making this great film. This was my favorite film of the year when it came out. A truly terrific movie that, may Cinema forgive me, i have failed to remember and revisit since the 90s. I will quickly remedy that. thanks for the great writing and, as always, the reflective insight.

Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- As California struggles to cope with its historic drought, Gov. Jerry Brown is facing increasing pressure to tackle longstanding problems in the state's water storage and delivery systems at a time when the politics of the issue have never been more tangled.
For Brown, the drought presents both opportunity and risk for a governor facing re-election who also was in office during California's last major drought in the mid-1970s.
It comes as he is pitching a costly and contentious proposal to drill two 35-mile-long, freeway-size water tunnels beneath the Northern California delta, a project that will cost at least $25 billion and is opposed by environmentalists who say it will all but destroy the imperiled estuary and has divided the agricultural community.
The governor also faces mounting pressure from the state Legislature to address an $11 billion water bond measure that lawmakers from both parties agree will require a major overhaul before it goes to voters in November.
Few things are more politically divisive in California than water. Who gets it, who pays for it, where and how it is captured and transported have proven to be political minefields for California governors for nearly a century.
The state's current crisis has gained national attention through pictures of reservoirs turned to mudflats, rivers slowed to a trickle and farmers ripping out orchards and fallowing their fields. The two Republicans in the race to contest Brown's expected re-election campaign are intensifying their criticism and say his administration has not done enough to improve California's water supply or help the hardest hit communities.
Yet policymakers, water agencies, farmers and worried local government officials hope the crisis will produce enough urgency to yield a rare political compromise. Brown told reporters in Tulare last week that "if anybody can get it done, I can get it done."
Now may be the time, said Jay Lund, director of the Center for Watershed Sciences at the University of California, Davis.
"Floods and droughts and lawsuits always bring attention to the water issues," Lund said. "You rarely see big strategic changes in water management without that sort of motivation and attention there."
If the motivation has arrived, so have the politics.
Last month, the Brown administration announced that for the first time it will deny any water allocations to thousands of Central Valley farmers and communities.
In explaining the severity of the situation, Chuck Bonham, director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, urged people "to take a deep breath, put down the arguments we've all had in the past and come together as Californians."
"This is not about picking between delta smelt and long fin smelt and chinook salmon, and it's not about picking between fish and farms or people and the environment," he said.
But those arguments are ever-present in California water conflicts, as they are this year.
Republicans in Congress last month pushed through legislation to override federal limits on pumping water from the delta and stop efforts to restore the San Joaquin River, which Rep. David Valadao, R-Hanford, said was a "commitment to putting California families over fish."
Brown called the legislation an "unwelcome and divisive intrusion" that would "re-open old water wounds." It is not expected to clear the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate, but it did prompt Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, Democrats from California, to respond with a proposed $300 million drought-relief package.
President Barack Obama also paid his first visit to Fresno on Friday to address the drought, but it's not yet clear whether his administration will push for a long-term solution such as building more reservoirs.
Already divisive is the governor's plan to build twin tunnels, a 10- to 15-year project that is intended to make it easier to pump water from the Sacramento River to Central Valley farms and Southern California cities.
Environmentalists say the project would suck more water from the already fragile delta, the hub of the state's water-delivery system. Critics say it would further harm the delta's fisheries, increase costs for water users and devastate the agricultural economy by lowering river levels and allowing salt water from the San Francisco Bay to invade.
They also say it would funnel more water out of Northern California while doing nothing to increase the supply.
Central Valley farmers who would benefit from the tunnels share blame for the current water crisis by planting lucrative but water-sucking crops such as almonds, pistachios and citrus that require year-round irrigation, said Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, executive director of Restore the Delta, which is fighting the tunnel plan.

DENVER (AP) -- Colorado lawmakers will try a fourth time to pass a law setting a standard for what's considered too stoned to drive.
A transportation committee voted 10-6 Friday to introduce a bill next year. It would mean drivers with 5 nanograms or more of THC per milliliter of blood would be considered impaired to drive. THC is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
Lawmakers have rejected the proposal three times.
Republican Sen. Steve King says he's bringing the bill forward again because public safety is at stake. But opponents worry medical marijuana users will be wrongly convicted of driving under the influence.
Colorado is among 16 states that allow medical marijuana use.
Nevada and Ohio have a 2 nanogram THC limit for driving.

I'd noticed that some of you eat toast occasionally and have a few questions. I'm fine with my weight, (altough I'd like to lose about 5 lbs.) and wouldn't mind putting on muscle, but I'm not trying to get a competitors body or anything like that. Just a nice, muscular, fit, body. I've been reading the "What do you girls eat for breakfast" thread and everyone's eating habits are vary so much. Any tips on what would be a good fit for a beginner would be appreciated.
I assume y'all only eat 100% whole wheat bread?
How much bread would you incorporate into your diet? (1 slice of toast each day? Only on days you're working out? Any on days you're not working out?)
Do you bake you're own bread or buy it?
If you make our own, mind sharing your recipe? I can't buy whole wheat bread here and will have to make my own. I've found some healthy recipes online, but don't know if they fit a bodybuilders standards.

Businessman takes NatWest for £35k
God you people moan!
I think the banks are fully justified in charging you £30 for going even a penny over your overdraft limit. The rules and fines associated are clearly there on their websites and documents that are sent to you when you first open the account and when ever these charges change.
I agree that if the bank is at fault then you shouldn't be charged ANY fees, that I don't agree with.
Overdrafts are an interest free loan, the banks don't even have to give you that, and surely an overdraft should only be used in emergencies and not as a matter of course. A number rapidly falling towards zero means you're spending too much, and one that's negative means you're in trouble.
It's basic maths people!!
What really annoys me is that not only do these cases return the fee charged, but also interest on those charges! How can you get interest on what was already a negative number!
Bank Profits
I bet you're one of these people who moan about petrol prices and the profits BP make as well (BP makes it's money on refining NOT at the pumps where the Government take about 75% of the cut)
Banks make the majority of their money investing and not by charging people who don't understand the concept on money management.
If you break the rules you pay the cost, it's the same in everything else in life, so why are the banks getting stick for charging people who have broken the rules?

Brodus Clay
Real Name
George Murdoch
Date of Birth
February 21, 1980
Place of Birth
Even though the truth has been out there for several years now, a lot of wrestling fans are still under the belief that Ole Anderson and Arn Anderson are brothers in real life. They're not. The relationship was created for their on screen characters to help Arn connect with the audience quicker because Ole was already established in the territory.
April 4, 2014
Before he became a professional wrestler, Brodus Clay worked as a bodyguard. His most well known client was rapper Snoop Dogg.
November 16, 2013
It looks like the relationship between Mick Foley and WWE has greatly improved. The former world heavyweight champion eagerly announced to his fans that he will be doing a special one man comedy show in Brooklyn for the WWE Network later on this month. The two sides have long discussed the possibility of doing such a deal, but the company never pulled the trigger. The belief was that there were those within who were upset with comments that Foley had been making about WWE.
November 13, 2014
It looks the business relationship between Alberto Del Rio and WWE has finally come to a close, as both sides released statements today informing their fans of that. The belief is that a settlement agreement has been made backstage. Del Rio will more than likely never pursue legal action against the company for firing him, while WWE is allowing him to work for any promotion in the world that he wants to.
November 10, 2014
While it seemed all but certain that Impact Wrestling was going to have a new home in 2015, reports are now surfacing that TNA and Spike TV are close to finalizing a deal to keep the business relationship going. Sources have stated that the two sides have been in negotiation the entire time, even as TNA was allowed to seek a contract with another television network. Dixie Carter was expected to make an announcement this week, but if there is a chance to remain with Spike, the reveal could be delayed.
November 1, 2014
Monday Night Raw was held in San Antonio last night. Since the event was so close to their home, Michelle McCool and Undertaker decided to pay a visit backstage to some of their friends in WWE. There were never any plans for either of them to make an appearance on television, especially since Undertaker is still on vacation mode physically. The two of them still maintain a close relationship with management.
October 28, 2014
At the end of the year, the long businesss relationship between TNA and Spike will be coming to an end. Dixie Carter, however, has only filmed enough episodes of Impact Wrestling to last until the middle of November. Reports have surfaced that the company will simply rely on recap shows during the final month of the year, as they make the transition to what hopefully will be a new home.
October 22, 2014
After doing a heel turn and joining the Bullet Club not too long ago, Jeff Jarrett returned to New Japan and continued the story line this week. The former world heavyweight champion crashed a press conference and declared himself as the Chairman of the Bullet Club. Jarrett has a business relationship with New Japan, so the story could transition over to Global Force Wrestling as well.
October 13, 2014
Reports have surfaced about a rather interesting real life relationship backstage in WWE. Rosa Mendes was said to have been dating Michael Hayes for a period of time. Former wrestlers have alluded to the seemingly inappropriate relationship in the past, but the names were withheld. Word going around is that Hayes was quite the advocate in getting Rosa on Total Divas. The two are said to be broken up now.
October 9, 2014
Last month, rumors and speculations began spreading about the backstage relationship between Michael Elgin and Ring of Honor. Apparently, things have taken a turn for the worst. Elgin has publicly stated that he is no longer with ROH. Apparently, he is upset with management for spreading lies about his situation, even though he is grateful that they helped him return to the United States.
October 7, 2014
Looks like Jeff Jarrett has made a major stride in the formation of Global Force Wrestling. It has now been announced that the promotion will be doing a pay per view on January 4, 2015. Since he has a business relationship with New Japan, and they do their biggest pay per view event on that day, there are speculations that Jarrett could be promoting that show as a GFW branded event in the United States.
September 30, 2014
Despite not being a major topic of conversation among the internet wrestling community, the season premier of Total Divas did really well this week. They managed to draw in over a million viewers. If the show can manage to maintain that type of number, then there's a very good chance that the relationship between WWE and E! will continue. Rosa Mendes was added to the cast this year, so a new diva could be added if another season were to follow.
September 9, 2014
The relationship between WWE and Rey Mysterio might be worse than what a lot of us already thought. Reports have surfaced that the company and the popular masked performer are not communicating with one another nowadays. Many were under the belief that a discussion would be had when Mysterio made a taped appearance at TripleMania for AAA. Apparently, WWE is letting that issue slide for the time being, as lawyers have yet to get involved.
August 28, 2014
While the negotiation continues between the two sides, the belief is that Bully Ray and TNA are far apart on the financial terms. Management wants to keep their former world heavyweight champion around because he is quite the asset to the roster. However, they are limited in what they can pay him, much like how they had to let AJ Styles leave. Since neither side is willing to budge, it looks like the relationship could be over soon.
August 21, 2014
There were some talks backstage in WWE of bringing in Rey Mysterio to help do promotions for Summerslam 2014. He lives three hours away in San Diego and is especially popular in southern California. However, that never happened. The shows how bad the relationship is between the two sides, as Mysterio reportedly wants to be free of his contract with the company.
August 21, 2014
The relationship between Hulk Hogan and WWE has been further extended, as the former world heavyweight champion is now going to be involved in a movie for the company. WWE Studios is producing Celebrity Death Pool, featuring Ken Jeong from the Hangover series and David Hasselhoff. Hogan has a small role in the movie, but the company is expected to promote him heavily to draw in their fan base.
August 21, 2014
Rumors are spreading that Alberto Del Rio could possibly become one of the bigger names to sign with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling. The speculation is due to the fact that the two of them will both be at TripleMania this weekend. Jarrett has a business relationship with AAA and will be wrestling at the pay per view, while Del Rio, fresh off of a controversial release from WWE, will be making an appearance.
August 12, 2014
While making an appearance at the Comic Con event in southern California, Scott Steiner was asked about his relationship with WWE. He stated that the company has tried to get him to sign a Legends contract in the past. However, Steiner revealed that he did not sign the deal because his lawyers advised him against doing such a thing because WWE would basically own his name.
August 9, 2014
It looks like WWE will be utilizing the relationship between Cameron and her boyfriend a bit more during the next season of Total Divas. The belief is that something drastic will happen, where the couple will either break up or do a wedding. The heel turn and split from Naomi Knight was designed to put more attention into her character on the reality television show next season.
July 28, 2014
For the longest time, it seemed like Sting would never ever work for Vince McMahon or wrestle for WWE, but things have taken quite the turn. The relationship between the two sides have grown rather quickly. It now appears inevitable that the legendary WCW star is going to work a big match for the company. Sting has repeatedly stated his desire to do a match at every public event that he has attended recently.
July 25, 2014
In a rather interesting and bizarre bit of news, Natalya Neidhart is being sued by a prisoner in the state of Pennsylvania. Christopher Donnelly is alleging that the WWE diva mentally, physically and emotionally abused him from 2005 until 2009. He also claims that Natalya had an abortion during their sexual relationship. Donnelly is attempting to gain $250,000 from the lawsuit.
July 9, 2014
While a lot of fans are hoping to see WWE giving Dolph Ziggler a push again, the on screen relationship between he and Summer Rae is more about the diva than the former world heavyweight champion. Management needed someone to pair her up with, so that she can continue her feud against Fandango and Layla El. WWE still wants to give her a nice push heading into the next season of Total Divas.
July 6, 2014
Back in June, Brodus Clay was given a release by WWE, so he informed his fans that his professional wrestling career was far from over. After exploring his options in Japan, the former bodyguard for Snoop Dogg decided to remain stateside by signing with TNA. He made his television debut for the company this week on Impact Wrestling by aligning himself with Ethan Carter and defeating Shark Boy in a match.
October 16, 2014
"He is a pro. He comes to work everyday. He is straight forward and tells you exactly what it is. One of my things was I didn't get to work a match with him. I would have dropped the weight I did and keep the muscle I have. He is a great leader in terms of he talks it; he walks it. He is the face of the WWE and likely so. John Cena gave us all an opportunity to train and have the same training regiment. The training of the NBA and NFL with Olympic lifts for maintenance, for power, better cardiovascular. He was on the forefront. He gave guys an opportunity." - Brodus Clay defending John Cena
June 19, 2014
Now that he has received his release from WWE, Brodus Clay has already planned out the next phase of his life. Rather than jumping back into the wrestling ring immediately, the former bodyguard has opted to book himself on a trip to Japan, so that he can help protest against those that are hunting dolphins. Clay left open the possibility of working some matches in Japan if that option were to become available to him.
June 13, 2014
"I hired Brodus Clay into the WWE, he is phenomenal. I remember I met him at a bar where he was a bouncer. There was a fight and I helped him out in the fight. That's how we met. He wanted to be a wrestler I told him to go to wrestling school. There's life after WWE... you're not going to have a job forever. It's the nature of the beast. Some guys have a long run, and yes they could have gotten a lot more out of them, but it's based on someone else's opinion." - Tommy Dreamer explaining how he met Brodus Clay
June 13, 2014
After being robbed of an opportunity work a match at Wrestlemania 29, Brodus Clay focused his energy on trying to ensure that he was not going to miss Wrestlemania 30. WWE was not pleased with him telling the fans about his angst about being removed from the card at the last minute, so he was demoted to the developmental program. Today, Clay received his release from the company.
June 12, 2014
During the latest WWE NXT show, an interesting injury was revealed. Adrian Neville had four teeth knocked out of his mouth during a backstage segment with Brodus Clay, who has been down in developmental for several months now. Neville had dental surgery to repair the teeth and now wears a mouth guard during matches to prevent further damage.
May 31, 2014
After weeks of being relegated to the developmental program, it appears that Brodus Clay is on the verge of making his return to WWE. The big man worked a live event in Kentucky for the company over the weekend, where he teamed with Damien Sandow to face Big E Langston and Mark Henry. Clay could be brought back to Monday Night Raw soon.

April 19, 2014
While he has been training especially hard over the last couple of months to make it happen, it is being said that the biggest reason why Brodus Clay is being given a match at Wrestlemania 30, where he will be a participant in the Andre the Giant battle royal, is because of his involvement in the new Scooby Doo movie that WWE is promoting.
March 26, 2014
WWE has announced that the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal will consists of Alberto Del Rio, Big E Langston, Big Show, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Justin Gabriel, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Miz, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Titus ONeil and Zack Ryder. There are also four spots available for last minute entrants.
March 25, 2014
After spending some time down at the WWE Performance Center, Brodus Clay is now back on the road. He worked a live event over the weekend in Atlantic City, where he did a quick dance off segment with the Great Khali, another performer who has been off the road for a couple of weeks. No word on a television return for Clay yet.
March 24, 2014
Thanks to being a part of a popular act for a while there, Brodus Clay maintains a pretty good salary from his bosses in WWE. The former bodyguard for Snoop Dogg is now being paid $170,000 a year as a professional wrestler. Being paid more than six figures is considered quite a feat for someone that does not receive consistent time on television.
March 19, 2014
After being absent for quite a few weeks, the Great Khali has made his return to WWE, joining the live events tour this weekend. He was paired up with Brodus Clay, who has been spending time in developmental. Khali was given the victory. The former world heavyweight champion has not worked a televised match since the first Monday Night Raw of the year.
March 17, 2014
While things were looking bleak for a moment there, it looks like Brodus Clay now has a chance again at achieving his goal of working Wrestlemania 30. He vowed not to miss the event again after being pulled last year at the last minute, but ended up in the dog house with management. He has a chance at the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal now.
March 12, 2014
Despite having very little chance of making it on to the Wrestlemania 30 card like he had hoped, Brodus Clay is still doing his countdown towards that day. After being removed at the last minute last year, Clay had vowed to work hard to ensure that the same thing would not happen this year. WWE has demoted him quite a bit over the last few months, unfortunately.
March 6, 2014
The demotion of Brodus Clay seems to be getting worse and worse. Aside from being pulled from Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, he has been working in the developmental program as of late, training with Bill DeMott. Clay worked a match for WWE NXT and actually put over Angelo Dawkins. Generally, main roster guys are the ones getting the victories.
February 24, 2014
While his dreams of working at Wrestlemania 30 might be in jeopardy, that has not stopped Brodus Clay from trying. He has been training with Bill DeMott, the head trainer for WWE, down in developmental as of late. No word yet on when he will return to Monday Night Raw or Smackdown.
February 21, 2014
While Brodus Clay has been noticeably absent from Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, it has now been revealed that he is not even on the road for television taping. This past weekend, he was down in Florida doing developmental work. No word yet on when WWE will be bringing him back with the rest of the main roster.
February 20, 2014
WWE is really hoping that Sasha Banks does well in developmental, as the company would love to bring her up to the main roster soon. Management wants to tout that she is the first cousin of world famous rapper Snoop Dogg. The company has already acknowledged on multiple times that Brodus Clay was a former bodyguard for the rapper.
February 17, 2014
There are those backstage in WWE that are wondering why the feud between Brodus Clay and Tensai never surfaced. Obviously, management wanted it to happen at one point, as they gave the split some television time. The feeling is that there is backstage heat on Clay, as he has not been utilized on television in three weeks now.
February 16, 2014
Prior to becoming a professional wrestler for New Japan and future IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Hiroshi Tanahashi had dreams of becoming a professional baseball player. That was his primary sport in high school.

His talents were so good that he caught the attention of a university in Texas. He parlayed his success in college to an NFL career, doing a brief stint with the Washington Redskins.
May 1, 2014
While he was easily one of the best overall performers during his generation, Tully Blanchard was a bit of a headache backstage. Shortly before he decided to leave WWE, Blanchard ended up failing a drug test because of cocaine, so management had no choice but to fire him. Bobby Heenan had to replace him in the match at Survivor Series 1989.
May 1, 2014
While he does not get featured as much by WWE nowadays, Pedro Morales will forever have a place in company history. The Puerto Rican star was the first guy to have won the WWE title, world tag team championship and the Intercontinental Championship. Morales even held the WWE and tag team championship, which he won with Bob Backlund, at the same time.
April 29, 2014
For a young professional wrestler, being able to work with a big time star could be what helps to spring board your career into the next level. A memorable feud with the legendary Harley Race was how Hercules Hernandez managed to make a name for himself during the territorial days. It was shortly after that feud that he found himself being signed by the NWA.
April 28, 2014
Prior to becoming a star in professional wrestling, Scott Norton was a star in the arm wrestling world. The former WCW star won at least thirty championships, including four national titles.

April 28, 2014
While he will forever associated with the famous wrestling last name, Ole Anderson is actually not an Anderson at all. His real name is Alan Rogowski. He simply adopted the Ole Anderson name to connect with the audience who were already familiar with Gene Anderson, his story line brother. Another interesting point of interest is that Ole Anderson is a play on the word oleander, a poisonous plant.
April 28, 2014
Back in 2000, the world of professional wrestling was saddened by the death of Masakazu Fukuda. While working a tournament match, Fukuda was hit by a flying elbow drop from Katsuyori Shibata. The blow proved to be fatal, as Fukuda had to be taken to the hospital, where he died a couple of days later. New Japan finished the tournament and dedicated the event in his honor.
April 28, 2014
Prior to becoming a star in WCW, Sid Vicious managed to pull off a pretty amazing feat while working for New Japan. Even though he was an unknown, Vicious was able to convince the promoters in Japan to give him a shot at the legendary Tatsumi Fujinami and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. He lost, of course, but was able to gain some recognition in the late 1980s by being in the match.
April 27, 2014
For as long as she has been on television, Stephanie McMahon has been a topic of interest for professional wrestling fans. Many WWE fans are quite enamored with her, so it comes as no surprise that her bra size is routinely discussed. During an interview once, Stephanie revealed that she received breast implants and now has a bra size of D cup.
April 24, 2014
Since she has been around WWE for a very long time, wrestling fans have been wondering how old Stephanie McMahon is. She was born on September 24, 1976, which makes her 37 right now. Due to her age and the fact that the kids are getting a little older, Stephanie recently decided to scale back on her responsibilities within WWE. She is no longer in charge of the creative department.
April 22, 2014
The boring gimmick that Lance Storm received while working in WWE was actually a little jab at internet wrestling fans. Many viewed him as a guy that was just too boring to be a star. In actuality, though, Storm has a pretty good personality and a sense of humor backstage. WWE went with the gimmick in order to try to something to see if it would give him momentum.
April 13, 2014
Back when he was a teenager in Mississippi, Kamala was a bit of a thief. He became known in town as a burglar who came from a poor family. The local police did not want to arrest him, so they heavily suggested that he leave town to avoid any further complications. The future WWE star opted to flee to the state of Florida, where he made money by picking fruit.
April 11, 2014
In a little known fact in professional wrestling, Bobby Heenan was originally scheduled to manage Jesse Ventura. Vince McMahon had lured him away from the AWA for that particular role. However, Ventura had blood clots in his lungs, which was due to his stint in the Vietnam War, and was forced to retire as an in ring performer. WWE moved Heenan on to other wrestlers.
April 10, 2014

April 4, 2014
One of the biggest mysteries in professional wrestling involves Dennis Condrey and his decision to walk away from the Midnight Express.

April 2, 2014
Prior to making a name for himself in ECW, Balls Mahoney had a very brief stint in WWE as a character named Xanta Klaus, who was supposed to be the younger brother of Santa Clause that lived in the South Pole and stole Christmas presents.

Google formally settles Wi-Fi data collection case in U.S. for $7M
Summary: The search giant has settled its Street View Wi-Fi data collection case in the U.S. for $7 million. As part of the deal, Google will sponsor a national public service campaign advising that consumers secure their Wi-Fi networks.
Google has settled a case with 38 state attorneys general after it collected data from unsecured Wi-Fi networks with its Street View cars as they drove by collecting street-level imagery.
The 38 states will receive a slice of the $7 million — which will take Google just over two hours to recover from — but the twist is that Google will sponsor a nationwide public service campaign to help educate consumers about securing their home Wi-Fi networks, which would prevent disclosure of personal data and prevent bandwidth thieves.
Reports of a settlement first emerged on Monday.
But compared to Google's $50 billion in revenue and more than $10 billion in net income during the 2012 fiscal year, it represents just a fraction of the company's worth for what was a massive scale breach of privacy.
"We work hard to get privacy right at Google. But in this case we didn't, which is why we quickly tightened up our systems to address the issue. The project leaders never wanted this data, and didn't use it or even look at it," Google told the Reuters news agency.
Google admitted in 2010 that it had inadvertently collected personal and sensitive data from home wireless networks in the U.S. and Europe while its Street View cars drove past. It was part of the company's efforts to determine the location of Wi-Fi networks in order to build up a list of assisted location services for mobile users.
Today's settlement doesn't end the headache for the search giant, however.
U.K. data protection authorities re-examined the company's evidence after first letting the co company off with a slapped wrist, after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) found further evidence to support its investigation. The U.K.'s Information Commissioner's Office at first didn't fine the company and remains in discussions with Google to get to the bottom of the situation, following a a strongly-worded letter sent in June last year.
Google was fined $25,000 by the FCC after it was found to have "deliberately impeded and delayed" the authority's investigation into whether or not it breached U.S. laws. French authorities also fined the company €100,000 ($142,000, at the time).
