Ever since the Motion Picture Association of America started issuing ratings to movies, there has been much controversy over what should make a movie unsuitable for young people. Is it sex, drugs or violence? All of the above?
The new Meryl Streep movie It's Complicated has stirred the, um, pot with that debate again. Because of an extended plotline involving pot-smoking, the MPAA deemed the movie as inappropriate for people under the age of 17.
And not everyone agrees the movie -- which is free of violence and super-sexy sex scenes -- is deserving of such a rating.
A New York Times article points out that the rating is inconsistent with other movies in its category -- namely, the PG-rated 9 to 5, which features a memorable scene of Dolly Parton and the gang firing up a joint.
This is compared to R-rated classics such as Basic Instinct, which famously showed full-frontal female nudity, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which shows, well, lots of chainsaw massacre scenes.
Still, some are applauding the MPAA's decision to restrict It's Complicated to viewers aged 17 and older.
"The last I checked, smoking pot was still illegal, illicit behavior," said Dan Isett, director of public policy for the Parents Television Council. "Too often material gets rated lower than it should be."

What do you think merits an R-rating in a film? Chime in below!

What are fellow rioters views on restaurant/cafes accepting bookings or not?
They are businesses and provided that they are not breaking the law they can choose to do what ever they like. If they want to not accept your hard-earned money then that's entirely their prerogative.
I don't think there was any suggestion that have a policy one way or the other is illegal in any way, the OP was simply trying to gauge what other peoples opinions on the matter were. Perhaps spark up a debate on the pros or cons of both policies and gain an understanding of why one business might choose one method, while another might choose the other?
Mess said :
Restaurants should always take bookings, it baffles me that some restaurants have a "no bookings' policy.
I understand that some restaurants don't take bookings for 2-4 people and are fine with walk ins.
But I'm not going to rock up to a restaurant with 5+ people and hope for a table.
We went to Ricardo's for Breakfast at easter. We booked ahead cos it's busy and we had 7 people. It's hard for restaurants to arrange a table for that many if it was walk in… it's disruptive and annoying for the staff.
Mess said :
Restaurants should always take bookings, it baffles me that some restaurants have a "no bookings' policy.
It obviously works for some of them though. If you're popular enough that there's a line to get in, why go to the time and expense of operating a reservation system? I understand that some restaurants have given up on bookings simply because they were sick of reserved tables sitting empty when people don't show, while they're turning away people without a booking who could have been spending money.

I would go for Byakuya because he's more cool..and handsome
and I love his bankai power ^^
YAH! Aizen is power enough to control the Hueco Mundo and have the equal power of Captain Commander Yamamoto Genyurasai!I agree. Aizen is suparpowerful. More powerful than most captains.
I loved her so much.... i would dare to risk my own life only to save her from dying....
I loved my GF...
I would go for Byakuya because he's more cool..and handsome
and I love his bankai power ^^
"Never tell a man that you love him until he has declared his undying love for you."
Though I hate him I have to say Aizen would be faster because Aizens been around awhile and has probably seen how all the captains fight and came up with the strategy and tactics to beat any of them otherwise he wouldn't have come out in the open with his plans. If he lacked speed I'm sure he's got that covered now.
"I've come to deliver some bad luck" Train Hartnett
Aizen is coward and doesn't have the mental perseverance to go that figurative extra mile necessary to beat Byakuya.
Byakuya is the same guy that will let you hack at his arm if that's what it takes for the opponent to get where he needs him to kill him.
Aizen is far too superfficial and has too many high opinions of himself to actually deliver a serious butt whipping during a fight.
To date in the series, the only reason and the arrancar have joined him is because he has something they want. Has he actually gotten his hands dirty and done anything to suggest that he's a person to be reckoned with? No. All he has done is devise a very inegenius plan that gave the arrancar and the Espada to follow under his leadership.
So yeah he'd be a great tactician but Byakuya so much better and that more ruthless. There's something to be said about a guy who only follows the rules to such a degree that he'd let his sister die AND was willing to kill opponents of the law so that she would die.
As for physical strengths and weaknesses . . . .
They're both captains so they both have powers and skills beyond what the average shinigami possess. But Something I've noticed about all the captains and other high ranking shinigami is that every captain has a special gift or talent that helps seperate them from all the rest.
Sure Aizen does have speed, but so does any other Shinigami even Byakuya. There's no reason why Byakuya wouldn't be able to best him if not at least match him in that regard.
As for brute strength I give it to Byakuya again. I may contradict myself here but . . . Byakuya now has a personal grudge against Aizen and Byakuya isn't one to forgive too easily at all. His sister would've died for his plan and her death would've been on his hands. That aside, Byakuya is too arrogant to ever want to soil himself with the touch of others. If it came down to it, Byakuya would do his best to terminate Aizen without physically touching him but if necessary he'd definitely do it and if he had to go to that extreme I'm almost certain Byakuya would definitely kill him, with his bare hands if necessary.
wow she took the words right out of my mouth lol whith her essay about the two swords
Byakuya is definitely faster than Aizen,that was proven in Bya's fight with Zommari(7th Espada).According to Zommari,he had the fastest Sonido among the Espada but Byakuya easily outmatched him.
Aizen's ,,speed" lies within his Zanpakutou,Kyouka Suigetsu.He uses ilussions so that it looks like he has a very fast Shunpo.
So with all this said,in my opinion Byakuya is much more faster than Aizen.

Rig wont power up
I shut down my rig a couple weeks ago and went to bed, the next day when I attempted to power it up it wouldnt turn on. All it would do is flash the led's on my case fans right quick and that was it. Immediately I thought it was my power supply but I wasnt sure how to confirm that so Ive let it sit. Last night I decided to open up the case and do a visual inspection, make sure everything is connected, look for obvious stuff, before I opened it up I figured Id try to power it up again....What it does now is as soon as I turn on the power supply, all of my case fans light up and spin at a low speed, the cpu cooler fan lights up and spins slowly too, the psu fan lights up but doesnt turn on, even the gpu fan spins, all at approx the same slow speed. I can even hear the hd spinning slowly too. Pressing the power button on the case does nothing at all. When I turn the psu off, the case fans flicker and then shut off. When the fans are lit up, its not at full tilt, its maybe 50-75% as bright as they normally are.
Does this sound like a psu problem or something else? My rig is approx 5-6yrs old and I do plan on building a new one regardless if I get this one up and running again bit Id like to get this one going again if possible so I can start prepping for the new rig......plus its killing me not to be able to update my music on my ipod. Any way I can test the psu to see if its the cause, short of buying a new one?

I had this same exact problem 2 days ago. The motherboard lights would power on, and a few fans would spin slightly but nothing would truly power on. I took it in to the local computer repair place for a diagnostics test. My PSU was only outputting power through 3 channels. I had to replace it. I decided to upgrade to a 750w PSU to ensure that wouldn't happen again.

Wow, sounds very similar to whats going on here. I have to buy a new power supply for my upcoming build, that plus the description of your problem and the solution has me pretty optimistic that it is the psu. But I guess even if its not it wont be money wasted cause I was gonna get the new psu for the new build anyway. I hope thats all it is, I gotta get my comp ready for the new build. Make a list of the programs I want/have get rid of the stuff I dont need, etc.

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris have a new love nest, a few months after getting married. The 87-year-old Playboy mogul and his 26-year-old wife have purchased an architectural home in the Hollywood Hills for alleged $4.9 million.
The 6,000 square feet house boasts four bedrooms and five bathrooms. It has a luxe Bontempi kitchen, home theater and big game room, an outdoor infinity pool with spa and multiple terraces to enjoy the beautiful landscape of Los Angeles.
Hefner and Harris were first engaged in December 2010 and planned a summer wedding in 2011, but they infamously split five days before their wedding. He was forced to call off the nuptials after she dumped him. "The breakup is a heart breaker, but better now than after the marriage," he said back then.
On the day she was supposed to walk down the aisle with him, she reportedly went partying in Las Vegas. She later took a shot at his sexual skills. "He doesn't really take off his clothes. I've never seen Hef naked," she once said in an interview before adding that they only had sex once and it lasted "like two seconds."
The couple was back on together a year later and she moved in to the mansion. "Getting back together with Crystal Harris shouldn't be a big surprise, since I have a history of remaining close to former girlfriends," he tweeted of their reconciliation at the time.
They then got engaged again in early December. This time, the twosome made it to the altar, exchanging wedding vows at the Playboy mansion on New Year's Eve with the groom's brother Keith serving as Best Man.

I'm a fashion, environmental, and animal loving vegetarian of five years. I like to leave my pride at the door when speaking to non-vegetarians. Who am I to make people feel less "superior" than I?
I provide a broad range of topics within vegetarianism, environmentalism, fashion, & animal rights.
My philosophy?
Eat whatever you want and join whichever groups you wish to be a part of. Just don't force people into your bubble. With that being said, educating the public about vegetarianism is a good thing, but if someone doesn't want to listen, don't make them.

iPhone slips in Europe as Windows Phone claims OVER 10% market share
Big in Japan! Big in Japan!
In Japan, where the 5S is offered universally free on a contract, Apple captured 76% of the market during the post-launch lustre month of October (source: https://twitter.com/KWP_ComTech/status/405288467141115904 ).
So regardless of the other analyses, I think it's probably the case that a huge number of people would take the Apple phone if it were a cost effective option — the problem isn't necessarily the user interface or the walled garden or even the size (though Japanese people seem to like small things much more than, say, Americans).
On the plus side, that means that Apple has a way out if it wants to take it. I guess the question is at what tipping point does a low-cost mass-market device become more profitable than a high-cost niche device? If the market decline worldwide continues and starts to bite Apple's bottom line, will it be smart enough to make the leap in time?
Re: Lolz
I think the Apple versus Microsoft figure is relevant here because there's no real landfill Windows Phone category. In the way that it's designed Windows Phone is much more similar to iOS than Android in that you can't chuck it onto three-year old hardware with a vendor-specific shell — Android isn't just about the blockbusting flagships — so it would seem likely that Microsoft is preparing to beat Apple at its own game.
If I were Apple? It's time for serious price cuts to the 5C. It needs to be free on all but the stingiest of contract. It's probably time to accept that the market seems to prefer dramatically bigger screens, too.

The 2GB RAM was the turn-off for me. If I'm basically going to be unable to use the desktop then I might as well buy an ordinary tablet — it'll pretty much certainly get me a much higher pixel density for the browsing, media consumption, etc, that you're pretty much limited to anyway.
And don't tell Microsoft, but other office suites are available. Including ports of OpenOffice for Android — install AndrOpen Office and you'll actually feel like you're using a Windows desktop application.
Re: $299 vs £350
I found it unclear where the $299 claim comes from; the device is $408.60 on Amazon US (before sales tax) and £339.99 on Amazon UK (with VAT). Take the VAT off the UK price and you get £283.325 (sic). Convert that to dollars and you get $463.83.
So the pre-tax difference is that UK residents pay an extra $55.23 — about £34. Which is almost exactly 10% of the price, but nothing like as bad as $299 versus £350.
Hello! Still here! Surface 2! Way better than iPad! says slightly desperate Microsoft

Apple stalls iWatch, 12.9-inch iPad from Quanta rumored for mid-2014

Apple Schill-er: 'I was shocked - SHOCKED! They went and copied the iPhone'
Re: The irony
I think you've got a very peculiar definition of stolen. E.g. the BSD authors want other people to reuse their code in any way that it proves useful. They're probably very happy that Apple uses their code.
To put it another way: if Apple "stole" the mouse despite it being implemented widely by others earlier then it follows that Samsung did "steal" multitouch, etc from Apple. If what Samsung did was reasonable then Apple's use of the mouse was also reasonable. You can't have it both ways.
It is, at worst, hypocrisy rather than irony.
Re: Pathetic lawsuit
To be fair, Apple's claims to be an innovator are primarily outside court. Inside court it merely establishes that it holds design patents and that argue that the defendant infringed on those patents, which they usually have because the patent system allows ridiculously broad design patents. Apple then throws in that the patents were copied maliciously, specifically to usurp the iPhone, because that works in their favour for quantification of damages.
You can dislike the people at Apple for the smugness of their advertising, and you can dislike them for the cynicism of their legal manoeuvres but you're disliking them for two separate reasons.
If you're anything like me you can even dislike them for those things but still rank them in the top half of the tech industry as Apple's sins have a much more diffuse effect on the market and on individual consumers than the classic villains.

The REAL JUICE behind leaked BlackBerry OS: Android apps to slip in without protection
Re: Maybe So, Look at Macintosh
I thought they became acceptable when sufficiently much of what consumers use computers for had moved into the browser so that, with the native Microsoft Office also available, the software gap no longer mattered. Apple's transition to a competent OS in the years immediately preceding helped too. The switch to Intel was just the icing on the cake.
As for BlackBerry, I have to agree with the other commenters that a difference here is that Google probably isn't going to go on an anti-competitive market fixing spree. I also don't see how it matters that much to BlackBerry if people end up thinking of their OS as just a weird version of Android — from where they are now, anything that makes money is a win.

Arm-wave bye BYE! Apple grabs Kinect flail-sensor maker for $345m
Re: Apple Telly
While I agree with you, I wouldn't rule out an attempt by Apple. I think they might use their "retina" sales tag to try to grab some cash during the great up-sell to 4k. With a built-in AppleTV and the assumption of Wifi it'll play well with Apple's traditional sales pitch of simplicity — just plug it into the electricity.
Use their Hollywood clout to talk the networks into live streaming through a unified platform and they might even have a compelling sales pitch. For the Americans, whose networks they'd actually bother with, anyway.
It'll need to happen very soon though.
@Charles 9
It always used to be the Microsoft dictum that they would always prefer to purchase than to license — e.g. that's why they foisted Helvetica-alike Arial on the world rather than using the real thing. But I guess that was back when there was virtually unbounded room for growth. They were probably more cautious about a peripheral for a video game console with known sales figures.

Schiller: 'Almost everyone' at Apple works on iPhones - not Macs or anything
Re: And yet... (@Bob Vistakin)
The new iPhone launched 11 days before the end of Q3, and even then only in its first ten countries. There are a lot of reasons to think Apple's stubbornness is costing it huge amounts of marketshare but the Q3 year-on-year sales report isn't one of them.
My feeling is that Apple succeeds when it is technologically ahead. It slowly withers when it tries to rely on being cool. With the Mac they eventually found a way to make it sustainable but they've never managed to turn product lines around and reclaim dominance in a market they've previously lost. So I'm not optimistic for iOS, especially if the 5C is all we're getting as a price reduction.

BlackBerry's problem was that it wanted to ship a modern OS in a touchscreen mobile. It didn't have the technology ready. So it threw away its existing customers in order to spend a few years developing a me too product.
Apple's problems are entirely distinct. It's comfortable servicing one segment of the market and that segment isn't growing much any more. It seems vaguely interested in other segments (per the 5C) but doesn't really seem to have much enthusiasm in pursuing them.
The two are in very different positions. It's likely that what happens to them from now on will be very different.

New Retina iPad Mini not sold out HOURS after launch - world REELS

I think he was just comparing Nexus 4 sales to Apple sales — one supplier versus one supplier rather than every Android supplier versus the one iOS supplier.
That said, who would really expect the Nexus 4 to outsell the iPad Mini? It's an unsubsidised phone available only via mail order. That's just not how most people buy their phones. I'll bet the Nexus amounts to a tiny segment of Android sales.

Classic telly FX tech: How the Tardis flew before the CGI era
Re: Well, someone will have to mention the SFX in 2001...
You mean the slit-scan photography, as most famously used by Who in the Tom Baker title sequence? That's actually a fairly easy idea for most computer scientists to grasp. You know how parallax scrolling works in video games? You know how by the early 1990s they were routinely doing every single scan line individually to give apparently perspective to floors and ceilings?
Imagine you created that effect visually by cutting a horizontal slice in a piece of card and suspending that a distance above a colourful 2d image. Then light the image and make everything else pitch black. Take a single frame of film by pointing the camera at the slit and moving it directly towards or away from the surface.
The effect is that the only part of the film that's exposed is that which can see through the slit. As the camera moves, the slit moves within the frame to expose a different part of the 2d image and you're now closer to the image so its larger. So you get an apparent 3d transformation of the 2d image built up with a continuous equivalent to the parallax floor.
Move the background image a little and repeat for the next frame. And again. And so on. Then you've got the pattern apparently coming towards you.
Then cut a more interesting shape than a horizontal line and add Tom Baker's face on top.
Nvidia CEO: Android 'the most disruptive operating system in decades'
Re: OS?
Android allows both Dalvik and native apps to coexist as first-class citizens; Dalvik is oriented towards a completely independent implementation of Java.

EYE-GASMIC: Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch with Retina Display
Re: I was afraid of this (@AC)
You should have a word with Microsoft. They seem so sure that the Intel-bearing Surface can't be made cheaply that they endured a US$900m write-down halfheartedly trying to push an ARM version.
The Surface Pro 128GB list price was £900; presumably the Haswell-powered Pro 2 will be the same. Chuck Apple an extra £200 for the entry level 13" Retina MacBook Pro and they'll give you a larger, higher resolution screen and a 50% faster CPU.
Re: Only apple could say they have a
They don't say that. Only an AC could make such a ridiculous straw man argument, etc, etc, etc.
Your kids' chances of becoming programmers? ZERO
A contrarian here
I attended university at the turn of the millennium; I was a young child during the '80s and packed my teenage years entirely into the '90s.
My experience, shortened to the interesting bits: I received an obsolete micro from the classifieds somewhere in the early '90s; left to figure things out on my own as at that stage the computer had no magazines or commercial support I achieved some things I'm very proud of but was remarkably naive in other areas.
In the late '90s we got a PC and the Internet. So suddenly I had access to unending reams of documentation and properly technical people to discuss things with. My abilities took a huge leap forward. I progressed much faster than I probably would have if I'd continued in independent study or muddling through with a single book or two.
As a result, just as others above think the most educational environment was having limited choices and needing to figure everything out for themselves, I think the most educational environment was taking a bit of time to get the absolute fundamentals down then being exposed to the breadth of everything available. Probably people a decade younger than me that the best way to learn is to be dropped in immediately amongst the breadth.
It'll be interesting to see what the second article advocates but too many of the commenters seem to be confusing causation and correlation so as to jump from perceiving an experience to be common to suggesting that it's a good idea.
Re: Different style today
It runs slightly contrary to the rose-tinted nostalgia of some of the other posters, but many of the worst coders I've worked are those who start with increment coding and debugging and proceed to the conclusion that the correct way to figure out how libraries work is by empirical investigation. Reading documentation just takes time, right? And if nobody's going to read it, why write it in the first place?
If I were asked to come up with a related rant immediately it would be about people who think that date handling is easy, so they wrote it all themselves, and mysteriously enough their code gets the length of a day wrong twice a year. But that's okay because their 200 lines of date handling "was a quicker solution" than five lines of API calls that would require you actually to have learnt about what's already provided. If you wanted a rant tomorrow? Probably something else.

Western Digital 'fesses up to Mavericks data loss mess

I have a Western Digital 'My Passport' USB 3 1TB device. It's just for Time Machine so I plug it in and ignore it. Everything is working without issue.
Naturally I haven't installed any of WD's custom software because I'm about as enthusiastic about that as I am about consumer printer drivers — one just assumes it'll inexplicably install a 2GB boot-time kernel extension in order to be able to say in a booming voice "You have 20GB of space left; visit www.westerndigital.com to buy another hard disks" every ten minutes. And probably require a network connection.
Steve Wozniak: 'I wish to God that Apple and Google were partners'
Re: Makeup of rockstar consortium (@Oninoshiko)
The shell companies comment makes it pretty clear whom AC2 thinks is most culpable. It's also unnecessary since we know exactly which company is taking legal action and which other companies are behind it.
Of the various company pairs, Nokia was first to sue Apple, Apple was first to sue Samsung and HTC, Motorola was first to sue Apple, Microsoft extracts royalty payments from all of those except Apple and has made FRAND claims against Motorola (leading to a countersuit in layman's terms at least), Samsung was first to sue Ericsson, Sony's main involvement has been via a holding company with Nokia which has sued Apple, Google has been involved primarily through support for HTC in a countersuit and, of course, through its acquisition of Motorola, and BlackBerry (/RIM) appears to have suffered only at the hands of companies other than all of those.
Nobody's hands are clean.
@AC1: that's bound to be what he's reacting to, and he's right. The market would be much more advanced if the focus was exclusively on how the things consumers like can be made even better, not who has the best legal protection on those things. Pleasing consumers should be paramount in a functioning market but the way that inventor/creator protections have been so massively distorted tends to subjugate them somewhat.
@AC2: the Rockstar Consortium is who is suing. Apple deserves to be attributed with responsibility for some of that. So do Microsoft, BlackBerry, Sony and Ericsson.
iPad 4 is so OVER: 5 times as many fanbois now using iPad Air - survey
The iPad 4 was a soft launch
The iPad 3 came out last March with a big press event and lots of publicity about its 'retina' screen.
The iPad 4 came out eight months later in November, having been mentioned almost in passing at the iPhone launch with "oh, and we've added the new connector to the iPad too".
The iPad Air has had the big keynote treatment again.
So, yeah, 4 versus Air is technically accurate if you're asking about Apple's year-on-year health, but 3 versus Air would be more realistic, I think. Otherwise this is more like trying to determine how much Apple benefits from its usual method of product introduction.
Here's what YOU WON'T be able to do with your PlayStation 4

iPad Air not very hot: Apple fanbois SHUN London fondleslab launch
Re: History repeats
I think the difference is that BlackBerry were overtaken by technology — everyone else's products were much better while they ran around buying QNX and desperately trying to get BlackBerry 10 ready. The same isn't true of Apple. A majority of people prefer alternatives and there are a bunch of things Apple consciously disallows but you don't get the sense that they're technologically behind. They're just control freaks with very specific ideas of what a device should be.
Re: LOSERS (@AC)
But have you heard about the really amazing new bread they're getting in next Wednesday?
Re: Re I'd missed your Apple bullshit for the last week (@AC)
The Apple shop employees are paid to clap and cheer like morons at every product launch. They'll even insist on giving you high fives on your way, though they are at least doing it in order to provide themselves with shelter, warmth, food, etc, rather than because they honestly think that shaving 180g off an already successful product is really exciting.
I guess the issue on Apple's side, when launching modest annual evolutions, is whether to risk a damp squib of a launch event like this, or to forego one for the first time since the iPad was announced. Damp squib it is.

'Tablet' no longer means 'iPad': Apple share PLUMMETS below 30%
Re: I wasn't talking about childish things
Per http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php the global web browsing market share for every version of iOS in the top ten (ie, 6 and 7) is 8.64%. The equivalent share for Android (which includes versions 2 and 4) is 5.22%.
From that we can conclude that, for web browsing, iOS is used about 165% as often than Android. But that doesn't differentiate tablets and phones so standard comments about pay-as-you-go contracts apply — because Android devices are more affordable, they're much more likely to be bought by people that don't intend to spend a lot on data. That doesn't mean they're not being used for Temple Run.
And to put the whole thing in perspective, Windows (XP + 7 + Vista) is used about 745% as often as iOS.
Re: Isn't this exactly the way Blackberry crashed and burned?
Apple of the 1990s is why Apple no longer thinks it is safe to try to fence off one corner of one market.
Given that the company is very good at product launches, it has usually followed a strategy of expanding into neighbouring markets rather than expanding its range within a market. From computer to MP3 player, from MP3 player to phone, from phone to tablet. It probably helps that it's so bad at the other idea: witness the cheap Mac (starting at only US$599!) and the cheap iPhone (only US$99 on a contract!).
They'll probably be healthy with 10% of the high end of three markets. If they want to expand they'll find some other market to try to muscle into.
Cisco: We'll open-source our H.264 video code AND foot licensing bill
Re: Bit weird...and by no means out of the woods
Ulterior motives?
H.264 is getting on a bit and if the MPEG formats remain the industry standards then the MPEG members are more likely to make some serious money on HEVC/H.265.
Cisco makes a lot of money from telepresence equipment, including software and the physical stuff you kit out your boardroom out with. If it's automatically compatible with Android and iOS and everything else that comes with a browser but has no plug-in architecture at all or for which it would be a major hassle to maintain a plug-in then that's a big plus.
iPHONE 5S BATTERY: It may NOT just be you, it may be RUBBISH
My 4S was the same, though if memory serves it could do only barely more than a day when new, so battery decline isn't so much of an issue as the battery life being bad in the first place — albeit along with most of the rest of the industry.

November 25, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The cost of seismically retrofitting Los Angeles apartment buildings could be passed onto tenants under a proposal from a city council member.
The Los Angeles Times reports Saturday (http://lat.ms/1f9V5Ad) that Councilman Bernard Parks says he wants the city to explore giving apartment owners an exemption from the city's rent control law to "incentivize retrofitting."
Currently half the cost of major apartment rehabilitation projects can be passed through to tenants. The Times says Parks wants city staff to evaluate passing through all of the costs to tenants but do it "over a reasonable period of time."
Many owners say they shouldn't have to pay for expensive fixes on their own.
In San Francisco, owners are allowed to pass along the retrofit costs to tenants, even those on rent control, over a 20-year period.

Cici's Pizza Buffet
I've been seeing many ads on TV and heard on radio for the Cici's chain of pizza buffet's. I've been to the Ft. Lauderdale one near relatives and hope one would come closer to central NJ. Now with the explosion of ads for it, I've checked their website and found none around here.
Anyone know if there are plans to bring one here? They're spending a fortune to advertise them to me, yet there are none to go to...a real waste of ad money if that's the case.
I know you're not seeking opinions about Cici's, but for the benefit of those who haven't been, here's my take. You get what you pay for. And around here (D.C. suburbs), you will probably leave saying you got your $4.99's worth...but not much more. Around Central Jersey, I'd think you could find someplace offering a decent salad and pizza buffet for around $10.
It's readily apparent how Cici's is able to feed you for $4.99. No tomatoes on the salad bar. Microscopic portions of sausage and chicken on the pizzas. Spaghetti with red or cheese sauce, but no meat in sight.
The quality of the food isn't so much bad as it is institutional--I'd put it a step above public school food only because the pizzas are served fresh out of the oven. You'll only leave disappointed if you go in with huge expectations for your $4.99.
re: tubman
Cici's Pizza. Escondido, CA. 760-746-7678 thats the only one I could fine aroud here.
I was dragged to a Cici's in Dallas. I now call it Fici's
It is absolutely dreadful. It won't last a zeptosecond in NJ.
i know exactly wat ur talking about, i keep seeing all these camercials, but i just went online to find where one is around here but there isn't one. i don't understand what these ads are for.
and btw cici's is very good, i had it up in washington, and i know there weren't any down here in california, but then when i saw the ads, i figured they were opening up, it's really wierd.
>>i don't understand what these ads are for<<
To drive people batty, so they eventually convince THE MEDIA to cover them properly, so they don't have to spend so !@#$% much on advertising...
I would never ever ever eat there for a destination for dinner, but it is a godsend for feeding an entire school bus of kids. They absolutely love it, the one's Ive taken really pile on the salads (which many don't get at home), which totally suprised me the first time out.
Hey, I know exactly what you mean. I went online today to find the cici's that they are advertising about. We have them back in Nebraska and in Florida then I move out here, they advertise but yet there isn't one.... I love cici's as do my kids, and we want to know whats up with the ads....
There are several threads on Cici's. Here's a couple:
To echo previous comments, Cici's is an adequate way to eat your weight in pizza, especially - even primarily -- if you're bringing kids. As soon as you get up to the pizza order a fresh one with your choice of their toppings.

WOONSOCKET - Robert T. Kulik, the executive director of the Woonsocket Housing Authority, and the agency's board of commissioners, reached a severance agreement Thursday.
The deal ends Kulik's employment with the WHA, effective Monday, but it allows him to collect his pay until the end of the year and includes his work vehicle as part of the package, according to Joseph Rodio, the WHA's legal counsel.
The salary amounts to $38,819.34, doled out in weekly installments of 2,156.63 starting Sept. 4.
NORTH SMITHFIELD – Dowling Village is entering another growth spurt thanks to the completion of agreements with several new business and two national restaurant chains— Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar and Texas Roadhouse, a chain specializing in steaks with a western flavor.
The Eddie Dowling Highway property's developer, Brian Bucci, on Thursday confirmed town reports that construction will begin soon on the new business locations with completion expected next year.
WOONSOCKET – Patrol officers seized heroin, cocaine and more than $2,800 in cash as two men, both with prior trafficking convictions, were arrested Monday in the Fairmount section.
Steven Kevin Bergeron, 29, of 262 Second Ave., and Jason Andrew Lennox, 28, of 18 Cynthia Drive, North Smithfield, were charged with one count each of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver and two counts each of possession of a controlled substance.
WOONSOCKET – Former U.S. Congressman Fernand J. "Freddy" St Germain, a favorite son of the city who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most powerful men in the country, has died.
Family members said he passed away at home in Newport on Saturday of kidney failure. He was 86 years old.
CUMBERLAND – For members of the Cumberland American Little League team it was likely a game of the ages, and Saturday night's 8-7 win over the Tennessee team during the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Penn., hasn't been overlooked back at home.
The team's stunning final inning walkoff victory thanks to a home run by CJ Davock was the talk of the town Sunday, and had many wishing for more success by their local Little League representatives.
"It was absolutely amazing," Cumberland Police Sgt. Brandon Vadenais said of Saturday night's game.
WOONSOCKET – Citing personal reasons, Interim Schools Supt. James A. DiPrete tendered his resignation Thursday, school officials and members of the Budget Commission said.
DiPrete, 77, a longtime educator and retired chairman of the former state Board of Regents, had been hired on June 19 to work for up to 70 days for $750 a day.

WOONSOCKET – UnitedHealthcare and Landmark Medical Center have ironed out a new contract that restores 52 physicians with admitting privileges at the hospital to the health insurer's coverage network, the parties announced.
UnitedHealthcare dropped Landmark from its coverage network after the hospital was purchased last year by the for-profit, California-based hospital chain, Prime Healthcare Services.
The two parties have been trying to firm up a new contract since.
WOONSOCKET — Carnell Henderson, 41, has always had a goal of doing something more since he was a student at Woonsocket High School and member of the graduating class of 1991.
Back then, he will tell you today, there wasn't a concrete plan of what "more" would be, but Henderson just knew from the support he had received from his family, his coaches, and his teachers in school he would some day be involved in the leadership of his community.
PROVIDENCE – A Superior Court judge Wednesday sentenced former Woonsocket Municipal Court Clerk Rachel Arruda to an 18-month prison term and ordered her to make $60,000 restitution after she entered a plea of no contest to 2011 state police charges of embezzling nearly $400,000 from the struggling city.
Judge Jeffrey Lanphear ordered Arruda to surrender to authorities on Sept. 10 to begin serving her sentence at the Adult Correctional Institutions, Cranston, rejecting lawyer Mark Smith's plea for home confinement.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64
I bought Heroes III Complete from GoG.com as well and have been playing it (with limited success) on Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I have set all the .exe files in the game's directory to "Run as Administrator" and Compatibility with WinXP SP2. I can usually get anywhere from two to four hours of gameplay in before it crashes and I have to reload from the autosave.
After emailing GoG.com's support team, they replied that they don't support Windows 7 yet. So warning to anyone buying from GoG.com, your games might not work on Windows 7. So far I'm 1 for 2.

Windows 7 Professional
Wow, I was really surprised to hear you say that GoG does not support Windows 7 but sure enough in the description for that game on their website it says it only supports Vista and XP. Very strange. I too encounter the same problem. Sometimes the game randomly crashes. I've just sort of accepted it as a small inconvenience of getting to play such a great game. Though I can't present conclusive evidence about this, in general I feel like the game runs with more stability when I close all other applications prior to launching HoMMIII. You could give that a whirl.

Tcp/ip games in Heroes III?
Hey all
My wife just got a new laptop with Windows 7.
I just copied the whole game folder with everything from our normal PC to her Laptop (so no real installing - just copying the files)
And it works like a charm...almost
We normally play multiplayer tcp/ip, with me on the normal PC and her on the Laptop.
But she keeps getting "thrown off" all the time.
I tried everything!
Uninstalled antivirus. Switched off firewall. Changed channel on our wireless connection to the router. Even plugged in network cabel to the router instead of using wireless
Nothing works - she keeps getting disconnected from the games we play...
Anyone can help with this?
Thanks in advance!
(Ps we play the "Heroes Complete" game)
|My System Specs
|20 Jul 2010
I'm going to "guess" it's a server thing. Might have something to do with the fact that the game was never "actually" installed and the server might see this as cheating and disconnects the game.
My two cents as I've never done multiplayer.
Good luck.

I just tried installing it (only Shadow of Death) on both computers - like really installing it
It went fine, but the disconnects still happens :-(
Maybe it just cant work with Windows 7?

Win7 64-bit
I'll just repost what I posted on GoG.com forums as an answer to the following post:
I have windows 7. I have this game on disc and when I try running it, a black screen just comes up, i have to run it in my xp mode to get it to play. I downloaded it off of GOG thinking it would work and the same things happened. any clue why?
Unfortunately I have the same problem. Bought this game yesterday from GOG, installed without problems on my Windows 7 (Home Premium 64) and I can't get it to work. I tried different tricks like running 'as administrator' and in 'compatibility mode' to no avail - after launching the game I get a black screen and nothing happens from now on... At this point I'm forced to reboot my PC manually (alt tab doesn't work, win+L doesn't work, ctrl+shift+esc doesn't work).
Naturally I'm using Home Premium version so I can't use XP mode...
It's really very annoying, I wanted to play HoMM3 again so much...
Do you have any tips on what else I can try to make it work?
Thanks in advance.

Can't install
I have Heroes 3 complete on disc, and I just got a new laptop with Windows 7, so I'm not very familiar. I've tried running Heroes several times now by skipping past the incompatibility messages (operating system, RAM, and DirectX) and it won't fully install. It gets to 94% every time and freezes up so I have to take out the disk to get the installer to close. I tried the properties/compatibility method only to find that I have no compatibility tab. I'm confused by this. Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Make sure you're looking at Properties for the installer .exe, not the game disc. You need to right-click the game disc, click Explore, then navigate to the installer, right-click and select Properties, and there should be a Compatibility tab there.

What sauce would you make with tagliatelle and farfalle?
- RealMenJulienne Jun 28, 2010 03:57 AM
I've got a surplus of dried tagliatelle and farfalle and I'd appreciate some ideas of how to sauce it. I am 0.0% Italian by birth and whenever I try to make pasta sauce it always regresses towards the mean and turns into a generic tomato sauce. Complex and challenging recipes welcome!
Although nearly opposite in shape, both of these pastas can be great with fluid sauces, like cream, pesto or tomato sauces. I'd lean toward the farfalle, however, whenever chunks are involved (say, with chunks of sausage or portabella mushroom).
When decent cherry tomatoes are available, my favorite way with farfalle (bowtie) is to do a caprese-salad style "summer sauce" that doesn't even need to be cooked! I'll paste in how I described this in an earlier thread, and give the thread link thereafter, because Bushwickgirl and Kattyeyes gave some useful followup tips:
--Cook a pound of bowtie pasta;
--Meanwhile, cut about a half pound of fresh (not brick) mozzarella into roughly half-inch dice (and, following a Cooks Illustrated tip, lay out the mozzarella cubes on a plate and place for a few minutes into the freezer, this keeps them from getting gummy later);
--Chop or chiffonade a handful of fresh basil;
--Take 10-16 ounces of cherry tomatoes and cut each one in half;
--have your best olive oil and (if you like) parmaggiano cheese ready.
--When the pasta is ready, drain it and empty some of it into a bowl; dump in the mozzarella cubes, tomatoes, basil, salt, pepper, and olive oil to taste; give a stir and then the rest of the pasta. Let everything sit a minute or so to warm all the ingredients.
--Give it another toss, add some oil or salt maybe, and then serve with crusty bread and, if using, parmesan.
Here's a delicious and easy farfalle recipe from epicurious. It sounds simple, but tastes special. You can also add a little vodka or white wine to deglaze the pan before adding the tomatoes.
For the farfalle, I like to use roast chicken, and make an alfredo sauce with spinach. It couldn't be easier and its delicious, Toss red pepper flakes into the sauce for extra zippiness, and add chiffonade of basil and fresh tiny tomatoes for freshness.
Tagliatelle to me means spicy marinara with tuna.
Giada has a recipe I am a little addicted to (sausage, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, herbs, white wine, broth, parmesan), that calls for fusilli, but I've made it with most any pasta I have on hand. It can be a wee bit pricy for such a simple sauce, but that is one recipe I find room for in the budget, when the craving strikes.
I had a wonderful recipe for farfalle that had salmon, red onion, capers , cream cheese and dill = fantastic. let me see if I can find one that looks right:
this is it from Food Everyday! It was excellent, of course if you know me on this site, I do love my salmon, cream cheese
re: lexpatti
I've made that one, minus the cream cheese. But yes that's another protien excellent with farfalle.
I like tagliatelle tossed with leftover pot roast that has fallen apart with beefy gravy, so good. Farfalle makes the prettiest salads. Easiest is ranch type dressing with shredded carrots and dethawed petite peas. I put some dressing in the bottom of a bowl then the frozen peas and toss the hot (very al dente) pasta on top of that, then the carrots on top of that and give it all a toss. Let it cool and see if it needs more dressing. I've done this with lots of different; usually spring veg, but peas and carrots are my main stays.
re: just_M
just M, I think I will try this with a beef shank roast. Thanks for the tip!
re: RealMenJulienne
That sounds devine!
For the tagliatelle, If you like the savory bite of worcestershire sauce:
Saute a diced onion, add heavy cream and gently reduce for 5 mins or so, add what you think is too much worcestershire sauce and a little tomato sauce, cook for another couple minutes to allow the flavors to develop together.
Very important- add the pasta to the sauce and let them cook together for a few mins, adding a touch of the pasta water if the sauce seems too tight.
A sprinkle of parm, and you're good to go.
For something a little different (not low fat though - you've been warned!)
1 onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
2 bell peppers (any color) diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb shrimp
salt and pepper
olive oil
1/2 - 1 cup heavy cream
cajun or creole spice blend of your choice
Sautee the veggies in the olive oil all together until the onions are translucent. Salt and pepper to taste. Toss the shrimp into the pan and let them cook until they start to turn pink around the edges. Then add a tablespoon or so of your spice blend and pour the cream on top. Cook until the shrimp are cooked through and the cream has thickened.
Pour the whole shebang over 1 lb of boiled farfalle.
You want a crisp white wine with this to cut the cream. Oh so delicious!
Easy dinner, while the tagialtelle is cooking, saute a good amount of mixed sliced mushrooms (preferably wild ones) add 3-4 cloves minced garlic and cherry tomatoes, amount to taste, in a mix of good olive oil and unsalted butter, toss in a sliced fresh red chili or a tsp or so of crushed red peppper, add 1/2 cup of chicken, mushroom (if you use dried rehydrated porcinis as part of your mushroom makeup, use the strained soaking water) or vegetable stock, let reduce for a few minutes, until the tomatoes are tender and bursting, and toss with the pasta and a good handful of chopped parsley. Season well and serve with grated Parmigiano.
The tomatoes can be oven roasted first, then added to the pasta at the tossing stage, or you can use a ladle or two of marinara when reducing the sauce; just cut back on the stock. A splash of white or red wine in this sauce doesn't hurt at all. Basil is a nice herb for this, instead of parsley.
I like this farfalle salad with pesto, black olives and peas, from epicurious:
All of these replies are terrific. But one very nice treatment of pasta you hardly see in the U.S. is to toss it with fried breadcrumbs. It is the same general effect as egg noodles and croutons. It was often used in the south of Italy, especially when cheese was unavailable. If you like, fry the crumbs in olive oil seasoned with a bit of garlic. Toss it with the pasta. If you want to get fancy, add in some olive or capers. And, if you really want cheese, some pecorino. Maybe some chopped parsley, too.
re: Father Kitchen
That sounds wonderful.

Denmark, 2004 (MIFF 2005, International Panorama)
Director: Sussanne BierIn her powerfully immediate [Brothers], Suzanne Bier - director of the acclaimed Dogma film [Open Hearts] (MIFF 02) - has fashioned a taut psychological drama of a splintering family. Michael and Jannik are brothers who couldn't be less alike. Michael (Ulrich Thomsen) - always his father's favourite - has a successful career in the military and a good relationship with his beautiful wife, Sarah (Connie Nielsen), with whom he has two daughters. His younger brother Jannik (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) has always been a drifter, a wastrel with little sense of responsibility and operating at the edge of the law. When Michael is sequestered on a UN mission to Afghanistan, his life changes forever. Following an accident, he is reported missing - presumed dead. As the family struggles to cope, grief and necessity bring Sarah and her daughters closer to Jannik. Soon the bond between Sarah and Jannik deepens into love. But as time passes, Michael returns, traumatised and embittered after having been held prisoner in the Afghan mountains. But life has moved on...

Estimates of costs and timescales to complete nuclear decommissioning in the UK have risen in recent years as more is discovered about the work that is required. The decommissioning process is complex and challenging, with workers getting closer to nuclear material than is typically the case during the operational phase. In addition, there is often significant uncertainty about the inventory, both in total amount and in the radionuclide mix. Before each significant stage of decommissioning, a... Read More
The European Commission has decided to approve the UK government's subsidy for Hinkley Point C, the first in a new generation of UK nuclear power stations. This is extremely positive news for the UK construction sector, allowing the estimated £24.5 billion project to commence next year. However, I predict that a further legal challenge and financing hurdles could lead to capital cost rises of at least 35 - 40% over the nine year programme.

Some Other Spring Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull
Some other spring I'll try to love,
Now I still cling to faded blossoms.
Fresh when one left crushed and torn
Like the love affair I'm on.
Some other spring, when twilight falls,
Will the night bring another to me ?
Not your kind will let me find
It's not true that love is blind.
Sun shines around me,
But deep in my heart, it's cold as ice.
Love wants you for me,
But can the story be told twice ?
Some other spring will my heart ring
Stirring to sing love's magic music.
Then forget the old duet
Find love with some other spring.

Ghostbusters 3: Who Dropped Out?by Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
First, the good news: Ghostbusters 3 will begin production in early 2015.
Now, the bad news: Ivan Reitman has dropped out as director.
Following the death of Harold Ramis - his good friend and a main player in the first two Ghostbusters - Reitman has chosen to leave the project.
Talk of a third installment in this wildly popular franchise has been running rampant for years, but not until recently did actors Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd sign on for a follow-up.
It remains unclear just what kind of role they will play in Ghostbusters 3, but Reitman told Deadline it will likely be "minor."
He also went into detail about why he backed out of directing.
"When I came back from Harold's funeral, it was really moving and it made me think about a lot of things… I told [Amy and Doug Belgrad from Sony] I thought I could help, but let's find a really good director and make it with him.
"So that's what we've agreed will happen. I didn't want all kinds of speculation about what happened with me, that is the real story."
No release date has been set for Ghostbusters 3, but it will likely hit theaters in late 2015 or early 2016.
Gonna suck.
1. This title and subtitle are sensationalized, Ivan never dropped out he was part of the re-writes and is producing the movie. 2. Bill has never signed on. 3. Dan has been on board with this since 1990 so I have no clue where the comment about him just getting on board came from. He has single handedly pushed and promoted this film more than any other person involved.
