text: Cuccinelli Slams McAuliffe on Greentech: 'Run for Gov. in Mississippi' Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 20 Jul 2013 post a comment During Virginia's gubernatorial debate on July 20, Republican Virginia Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli blasted Democrat Terry McAuliffe's assertion that he does not break promises. Earlier in the debate, McAuliffe touted his honesty, saying, "I'm not going to make promises I can't keep." Cuccinelli pounced, saying McAuliffe will "promise you anything" to get elected. Virginia's attorney general cited Greentech, McAuliffe's failed electric car venture that he located in Mississippi rather than Virginia, as proof that McAuliffe cannot be trusted. He said McAuliffe promised "900 jobs by the end of 2012. It wasn't true when he said it. And it wasn't true at the end of 2012." Cuccinelli reminded Virginians that McAuliffe told voters in 2009 that the people of Martinsville, which had 20 percent unemployment, could be helped by one such new production facility. After Virginia arranged for McAuliffe to tour a production facility in Martinsville, McAuliffe announced he would be moving the Greentech car company to Mississippi. His announcement came without notice and only one day before the tour was scheduled. Cuccinelli said it was "offensive" that McAuliffe would use his experiences with Greentech to refer to himself as a businessman. "You picked Mississippi; so run for governor in Mississippi," he said.

Add another one to the endangered list. The number of traditional body-on-frame SUVs has been dwindling as manufacturers replace them with crossovers, which is the direction the Lexus GX 460 is heading. According to Ward's Auto, the GX will likely be supplanted by a unibody, three-row crossover at the end of its current lifecycle.
Toyota introduced the current Lexus GX in 2010, at the same time it also redesigned the 4Runner, on which the Lexus model is based. If the GX is shifted to a unibody platform, that could mean that Toyota would do similarly with the 4Runner, or the two vehicles could diverge and the GX could assume the underpinnings of another model.
This is mere speculation, but Toyota could shift the GX to the Highlander platform that is currently shared with the Lexus RX. Since the RX is not available in a three-row model, the move would allow the GX to retain its third row as a differentiator without upsetting the successful formula of the RX, Lexus' best-seller.
Regardless of what Toyota decides to do with the GX and 4Runner, Ward's says the company is also investigating the use of turbocharged four-cylinder engines in Lexus products. Since Toyota already has one of the best engines in the world in its direct-injected 3.5-liter V6 that sits under the hood of most Lexus models, we wouldn't expect the brand to introduce a turbo four any time soon, at least not in its volume products.

Sarpy County Crime Stoppers needs help finding the person responsible for a stolen pickup truck and a trailer. A key to the investigation might be identifying the person seen on surveillance video driving a car.
We have attached surveillance video to this story.
The pickup was stolen sometime on or after November 16th from the lot at Beardmore Chevrolet in Bellevue. The truck itself is worth not much, maybe $1,000.
However, it appears the pickup was used to steal a trailer worth $5,700. Surveillance video taken at Big Red Locksmith on November 18 apparently shows the stolen pickup being used to steal a U-Haul trailer from the business. The driver was there only three minutes.
The video shows a car arriving at the same time as the pickup truck. The driver appears to be acting as a lookout while the trailer was being hitched to the truck. The two vehicles left the scene together.
Sarpy County Crime Stoppers want to talk to the owner of the black car. The number to call is 402-592-STOP (7867).

We very much enjoyed our two nights at the Country Hearth B & B. David and Bonnie were friendly hosts, making us feel very welcome in their home. The breakfasts were delicious and the home was decorated beautifully with antiques and autumn decorations. Great place to celebrate our 50th anniversary!

I ran the Garden Spot Village Marathon and stayed at the Country Hearth B & B. The room was charming, and the jacuzzi in the room was fantastic. The bed was very comfortable especially for someone who had just run 26.2 miles. I would stay there even if I didn't need convenient lodging so close to the start of a wonderful race.

If you want an escape from the hectic business of life, then this is where you ought to come. This Amish town definitely slows down the pace of life a few decades. An overnight stop doesn't do justice to the environment. We stayed for 3 nights. Upon entering the B&B, David greeted us and we felt at home immediately! Along with his friendliness each room had a very homey feeling with nic-nacs and christmas decorations. Christmas music playing with clocks chiming and playing tunes as well. Bonnie is an excellent cook. Breakfasts were delicious and we were more than satisfied. David's knowledge of the area and its people is most interesting. Sometimes it was difficult to carry on with the day's activities because he was so interesting to listen to and talk with. The meal that was arranged with the Amish family was a highlight of our stay also! I would advise to get the most out of your stay here...have little to no appointments or commitments...spending about 3 days, leaving technology at home and letting the days unfold as they will. The traffic on the street can be a little noisy in the evening at times.

Perfect get away for a dose of Christmas cheers & relaxation. We enjoyed the various local shops at Kitchen Kettle & found some gifts for friends & family. We had a lovely lunch by the fire at Kling restaurant then headed to Country Heart B & B where we were welcomed by our hosts Bonnie & David. The inn is a well preserved piece of Lancaster county history. We settled in our beautiful room which featured a jacuzzi, Amish quit and antique furniture. We then joined our friends for wine in the living room by the Christmas tree. Our host David gave us insights into the home history & local history as well. David is a history buff especially Lancaster County & WWII. We had arranged with Bonnie at the time of booking for dinner at an Amish home. The experience was truly memorable. We were welcomed into the home of an Amish family where we enjoyed a home cook feast and a fun time with the whole family. We returned to the Country Heart for a night cap then a restful sleep to sounds of logs crackling in the heart of our bedroom fireplace . Next morning, Bonnie treated us to a delicious breakfast featuring some of her Amish recipes. We came back rejuvenated & with wonderful memories. Definitely, will go back .

We frequent the Lancaster area several times a year. It's a place we always enjoy coming back to. This was our first Bed and Breakfast experience. My husband was a little skeptical at first. But this 1st time experience was a good choice. We both enjoyed the breakfast conversation with other guest and the hosts. We didn't miss the noise of children running down the halls as we have experienced in hotels. I know we will choose a Bed and Breakfast on our next stay.

My husband and I have stayed at this Inn about 5 times. Each time we come back, the Innkeepers, Dave and Bonnie (Pearle too) always make you feel welcomed. The breakfasts are absolutely wonderful and varied. After a long day of shopping and sightseeing, the Jacuzzi tub is a welcomed addition. The Inn is quiet and very well run. Of course, this Inn is our first choice when we stay in Lancaster County. Book a stay, you won't regret it.

We decided to get away last minute and found this wonderful B and B. David was very accommodating and friendly. He was very helpful about telling you about the area. Breakfast was delightful and I am very appreciative that they were accommodating to vegetarian dietary needs. I would definite come back here.

We had a wonderful experience staying here for our 20th anniversary. It was our first time staying at a B&B. We definitely would stay here again. David & Bonnie are wonderful hosts. They were very knowledgeable about the history of the area and helpful in finding our destinations. The breakfasts were fabulous! The room was comfortable and clean. We loved burning a log in the fireplace in the evening.

we are a secondary school and have recently moved away from RM CC3 to a Vanilla Windows Network (Windows 2008 R2 Servers, and windows 7 workstations). I've managed to replicate most things, but the teachers want a console and the appropriate tool to be able to reset students password.
Does anyone have any suggestions. I can give them elevated rights so that they can only change the password for students, but I dont really want them to logon to the server.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Oh what a night! 'Night of a thousand dresses' . . . the 'Fashion Oscars' however you want to style it, the Council of Fashion Designers of America's annual bash took place last night. And, yes; it was glitzy. We knew the nominations, and even some of the winners beforehand, but we are still excited to bring you the news from the night itself.
Marc Jacobs, (we expect that his mantelpiece is pretty huge an' all, but still, the man is practically an awards magnet) took home the Womenswear Designer of the Year Award. Congratulations, Mr Jacobs. Meanwhile, an absolutely beaming Michael Kors was presented with the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement. He was just as gracious and sweet as his reputation would have you expect, saying "I thought to myself, `I'm just a kid. How did this happen?'"
The reason for Kors' moment in the spotlight was demonstrated by Gwyneth Paltrow, who wore a full-length black sequinned gown by the all-American designer, which his encapsulated his philosophy of simplicity plus serious glamour at a single stroke. Wow!
Supermodel Iman received the Fashion Icon prize. Former winners like Kate Moss and SJP are lauded for their individual and quirky personal styles, but Iman is better known for her poise and elegance. She's also used her fashion spurs to launch her own line of makeup for black skin which does very well indeed. Her husband, none other than David Bowie, was there to support her. In her speech she looked at him saying "Move over David, you're not the only icon in the house" Does that mean there'll be a few ch-ch-changes round their way? (ho ho). Oh yep – and Iman had to actually earn her award, by co-hosting the event.
SJP with CDFA President DVF!
Alexander McQueen was honoured posthumously by his most
Christopher Bailey won the International Award, jeweller Alexis Bittar beat Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler AND Marc Jacobs to the Accessory Designer of the Year gong. The Swarovski awards, which were given out by (the rather odd, but striking couple) Alexa Chung and Ed Westwick, went to Jason Wu for Swarovski Womanswear. The menswear prize went to Richard Chai, while the accessory design award went to Alexander Wang, who just missed out on the main prize for Womenswear Designer of the Year.
All of the up-and-coming designer winners will receive a bursary from the crystal mega brand, as well as the chance to incorporate as many of the sparkly stones into their work as their heart desires. Well done, one and all!

Vivid Named Studio of the Year- XCritic Consumer Reviews
Get ready for Car Wash, another madcap Paul Thomas comedy. This time, five dizzy blonde cheerleaders who can't make the cheerleading finals on their own need to raise five thousand dollars to pay a hit man to knock off a rival squad, but how? All the traditional cheerleaders-who-need-money schemes are exhausted quickly; the car wash, the nude photos, the other car wash, but they're still a few grand short until a high-stakes poker game gives them a chance to put their funds over the top! High finance and high comedy combine in PT's newest joint, starring Katie Gold, Katie Morgan, Shay Sweet, Alexis Malone, and Vivid contract girls Lanny Barby and Stefani Morgan. Go team! Cheerleaders are funny. They'll do anything to win The Nationals. And in the dark comedic world of Paul Thomas, that includes "busting up" the competition. But that takes thugs. And thugs cost money. What's a cheerleader to do? Have a car wash! A bake sale! An amateur photo contest! And if that doesn't work, clean their clocks in poker! Car Wash. It's all about sex, envy, charity and greed. Hey, you know the saying... girls just wanna have funds!
Chasin Pink Superhero, like a mainstream film with over a dozen sexy pornstars seducing and fondling each other.

The privacy-enhancing Do Not Track standard is wobbling badly after barely surviving a no-confidence vote by the W3C consortium. Held among World Wide Web Committee (W3C) working group members, the vote against drafting a Do-Not-Track (DNT) standard was narrowly defeated by a majority of just five. W3C members working on the …
The N in DNT is NOT
"The DAA in July tried to introduce wording into the DNT spec that would have let their members continue targeting consumers even if they'd enabled DNT in the browser.
This was rejected by the group. Earlier, the DAA had told the W3C that any attempt to place restrictions on its members collecting users' data would be a "non starter.""
Which bit of DO NOT TRACK don't you ad-monkeys understand?
Re: The N in DNT is NOT
"Which bit of DO NOT TRACK don't you ad-monkeys understand?"
Oh, they understand it *very* well indeed, all of it. They just don't want DNT to exist. In fact, they'd rather it had never existed. But being that it has existed, and does exist as a Work In Progress, they inevitably want to evade it, or neuter it, and are willing to promise to just plain ignore it in order to get their way.
For me, though, the whole idea stank of fatuously optimistic naive idealism, right from the very beginning.
Re: The N in DNT is NOT
Which bit of DO NOT TRACK don't you ad-monkeys understand?
The word "NOT", apparently (or at least not in this context)
None are so deaf as those who do not want to hear
If all the browser makers are aligned on the pro-DNT side, can't they unilaterally only display ads that are known to be compliant with DNT if it is enabled and forget what the ad-monkeys want?
Google are one of the biggest browser makers. I think you'll find this is no coincidence.
Just as they went into mobile OS design in order to defend their dominant position in advertising (amongst other aims), they also went into browsers to protect their core business, as well as to ensure compatibility with docs.
Google wasn't listed as a browser maker on the pro-DNT side or as an ad-broker on the anti-DNT side. Which are they?
My Guess, the evil side....
Advertising is not itself inherently evil: advertising is essential for business to happen. Can you imagine a world with *no* advertising? How would you ever find a plumber when you need one in a hurry?! The same applies to tracking: it simply means the ads we see are more relevant to our needs/wants, and that's not evil either.
Some of us know that we are not the type to respond to online advertising and would therefore rather not be distracted by online ads on the pages we are trying to read (to say nothing of the extra time & cost of downloading ads we don't want) which is why we should be allowed to opt out of seeing ads and being tracked. Denying us that option *is* evil.
Re: evil?
> it simply means the ads we see are more relevant to our needs/wants, and that's not evil either.
Which is true in theory. It works until you find out how they determine our needs/wants.
Then you find them thoroughly intrusive and veering towards evil. There's nothing wrong with ads per se, its the ad-broker activities which people really object to.
Re: evil?
> How would you ever find a plumber when you need one in a hurry?!
They'd look in the fucking phone book, exactly the way they used to before spamvertising parasites (and yes, Google are one of these) tried to take over the world.
Re: evil? @Dogged
>(on a world without adverts) How would you ever find a plumber when you need one in a hurry?!
>"They'd look in the fucking phone book"
Yes, because getting your business listed in the Phone book is free and is nothing like a big book full of advertising…
Re: evil? @Dogged
It's a book full of adverts that you never open unless you're looking for goods or services.
What it isn't is a supposedly helpful website that has content on it you wish to read but also tracks you for arseholes in the advertising industry.
Who do you work for?
Re: evil? @Dogged (sigh)
Original post "Advertising is not itself inherently evil: advertising is essential for business to happen. Can you imagine a world with *no* advertising? How would you ever find a plumber when you need one in a hurry?!"
Your response " Look in the fucking phone book"
My Point was that a phone book is a book full of advertising
The response you gave was to the question " can you imagine a world with no advertising?"
In a world with no advertising there would be no phone book would there? Because (once again) a phone book is a book that people pay to have their companies listed in, or in other words ADVERTISING.
I don't know how to make this any simpler, would you like me to carry on reiterating the same point?
Who do you work for? Ha! Nice try, no I don't work in marketing for anyone, Just because someone disagrees with you it doesn't make them a corporate shrill, I'm sure that's written down here somewhere, take you conspiracies somewhere else, I just have this ability to read and understand context, you should try it.
Or in other words, Who do you work for, the "fucking phone book"?
Re: evil? @Dogged (sigh)
And here is the root of the problem - what is advertising? Where are the limits on it?
Whilst the phone book is a form of advertising, it is unobtrusive and under the control of the person looking for whatever goods or services s/he requires when s/he requires it. It does not send data back to the publisher or others about when and where it is opened. It is also exactly the same as the phone book my neighbours get. I'd say the same about newspaper, magazine and TV ads - even though they are more obviously "advertising", they are passive and in the control of the reader.
Now contrast this with online "advertising", which is, quite frankly, creepy, and go beyond the limits of what should be allowed in the pursuit of flogging things. The entire concept puts the control in the hands of the advertisers, which is definitely where it shouldn't be. It erodes privacy and moves the active role into the wrong place. It needs to be stopped, not just controlled.
Re: evil? @Intractable Potsherd
Exactly right.
Advertising is all around us, those smug little "Sent from my iPhone" sentences you get on the end of emails, the reason the name on the top of a laptop is upside down when closed , to the fact that coke cans are designed with the logo at the correct angle for it still to be shown when being held by a right handed person, and I agree that these are either things you can control or things you (think) you can ignore, while targeted online advertising is another ball game.
But, the comment from Dogged was the idea that phone books would exist in a world without advertising.
I agree with Martin Budden's point (The one Dogged felt the need to use the F word, a thumbs down and a big red stop sign in reply) which was-
"Advertising is not itself inherently evil: advertising is essential for business to happen." … "we should be allowed to opt out of seeing (online) ads and being tracked."
Is anyone really surprised?
That the members whos business is all about collecting data from, and targeting end users would make it impossible to produce a standard?
Did anyone really believe that the presence of members who REALLY want end user tracking was conducive to producing a standard?
Did everyone not already know that "Turkeys don't vote for Christmas"?
Re: Is anyone really surprised?
It's more like the advertisers offered this as a way for users who cared about tracking to avoid tracking. It's the browser vendors who decided to switch from opt-in to opt-out in violation of the original agreement.
Re: Is anyone really surprised?
And the advertisers think they're going to direct browser vendors about how their software will work? Really?
If the major browser vendors decide to actively block whatever this DAA standard is... then they're completely fucked, they burnt their bridges to the very people who could destroy any attempt by them to track anyone.
W3C against privacy & for DRM
They need sidelining.
Re: W3C against privacy & for DRM
They are not actually for DRM. They just accept that as it's already here, having a standard to code to will make it easier for the end user to control.
Re: W3C against privacy & for DRM
"having a standard to code to will make it easier for the end user to control"
The whole point of the DRM is that the user controls nothing. Making it part of the standard just means that anyone refusing to use DRMs on their websites will be accused of aiding "piracy" by the IP cartels.
@John G Imrie - Re: W3C against privacy & for DRM
End user in control ?
Please double check before sniffing/inhaling/swallowing. Oh, and don't do this unless paramedics are in close range.
Re: W3C against privacy & for DRM
Put it this way. The content providers don't need the web. They can either embrace the web or marginalize it. At this stage, they already seem to be learning towards marginalize since they intend to push forth a 4K standard that's under their complete control from top to bottom, from the encoders to the receivers.
"The privacy-enhancing Do Not Track standard... "
Does it?
It's not the W2C that need sidelining...
...it's the Ad agencies in favour of tracking that need to be seriously marginalised instead.
To get an idea of the sheer numbers of buggers tracking you, can I suggest that Firefox users install (even if only temporarily) an add-on from Mozilla called Lightbeam?
Absolutely amazed me, anyway. And that's in spite of using Adblock Plus, Better Privacy, Self Destructing Cookies, Ghostery, etc.
And that's why you use things like TrackMeNot. If you can't go under the radar, you might as well obliterate it with chaff.
Only problem with TMN is it seems to only hit search engines with random sentences. It needs to start spreading out and spidering the web, really. And presenting itself as multiple user agents. And ignoring robots.txt, however rude that might seem.
Foxes guarding the henhouse?
I don't think so. Any entrenched entity making money on tracking will naturally a) be against DNT and b) would dearly love to pass a sham of a standard so they can appear to be on the side of the angels while cavorting with Mammon and Moloch.
For myself, I would much rather have a tool designed by those whose sole raison d'etre was creating a working tool, not just the appearance of one...
Re: Foxes guarding the henhouse?
> would dearly love to pass a sham of a standard so they can appear to be on the side of the angels while cavorting with Mammon and Moloch.
Haha, I read that as "Mammon and Murdoch" which also works.
DNT is obselete and pointless from the users's point of view.
1) The NSA leaks indicate that they can reconstruct web browsing sessions, and they seem to be capable of leaking everything they track too.
2) DNT is at best a polite request, and as such it can (and will) be ignored when it suits the ad-men.
At best DNT will save the honest web masters a bit of time and effort hacking up something bespoke to do the job. I suppose it may inform any legislation relating to it, which I guess is what the ad-men care about most, but quite frankly I doubt it given the mountain of evidence that indicates that legislators have no interest, competence or knowledge of "techie" stuff.
DNT is already dead, sadly
Since IE has it on by default, no ad provider can or will take it seriously. Well done Microsoft, something tells me this was your intention from the start. :(
Re: DNT is already dead, sadly
I don't know. If Microsoft starts considering these ad firms to be untrustworthy, they may start using DNT in a whitelist and ENFORCE trust by saying "you better be honoring DNT or we'll block you by default". Since Microsoft doesn't need ad money to exist, they don't have to kowtow to them, so the ad agencies can't pressure Microsoft.
Re: DNT is already dead, sadly
No big business is immune to financial pressure, no matter how big or powerful. If you have the money, you can make any business do what you want. Kings, Queens, Presidents and Parliaments are less susceptible to to outside financial influence than big businesses and you can buy those things fairly cheap. MS is certainly no different and the advertising lobby has a lot of money to spend.
Re: DNT is already dead, sadly
Fucking hell. MS are against tracking (in principle), implement it as default, are on the pro side and you STILL slag them off. How about bashing the o-so-lovely Google.
Give them a bashing where it's due, but ffs this petty minded bollocks is really boring.
vote of no confidence was defeated
Somehow I don't think Palpatine will be pleased.
Going forward...
Seriously. People whose who job is communications need to come and read to my mighty, Register-based pronouncements on the utter pointlessness of saying "going forward" when it's the only option. To whit:
"Going forward, the DAA intends to focus its time and efforts on growing this already-successful consumer choice program in "desktop," mobile and in-app environments. The DAA is confident that such efforts will yield greater advances in consumer privacy and industry self-regulation than would its continued participation at the W3C."
And don't get me started on the quotation mark nesting going on here. Brrr.
Re: Going forward...
> And don't get me started on the quotation mark nesting going on here. Brrr.
That is what comes of not teaching perl!
When DNT was first being discussed, there were the same kind of discussion. There is no technical way to force ad producers to NOT track viewers of said ads. DNT is just a header saying "please, don't track me"; there is no enforcement. The very TCP/IP protocols require the IP address to be in the packet headers (w/o this information, the server wouldn't know where to send the reply).
I like the idea of not being tracked, but we're at the mercy of the ad-servers.
We are indeed at the mercy of the advertising industry. And there's a legitimate amount of tracking they can get away with, that most people won't mind. And of course we have inertia, where no-one can be bothered to spend actual time and effort to deal with something as abstract as privacy.
But things can change. Society can go from thinking one thing to thinking the opposite very, very quickly. Given the right kind of scandal. And suddenly a company's cushy market can collapse overnight. So what the advertising companies need to be careful of is taking the piss completely. You want to fleece the sheep, not skin it. That way, there'll be more fleece for you next year.
It probably won't happen. But there are circumstances which could lead to a browser maker like Firefox nuking large amounts of the online advertising industry by implementing blocking, cookie control manageable my mere mortals or something. OK Firefox take a load of cash from Google, and are less of a player now Chrome's overtaken them, but Microsoft aren't a big online advertising player, and have all kinds of incentives to piss on Google's chips...
What you can hope, and lobby for, is an environment wherein certain groups of marketeers adopt compliance with DNT in order that government doesn't come down hard on them. They'd rather see a self-policing situation than see the politicians involved.
I'm thinking similar to the way certain marketing agencies and companies adopted the Mail Preference Service in the UK.
Yay, new standards
Let's see if I understand some of the history of this right.
A new standard was proposed, the DNT header.
Unlike their usual behaviour, Microsoft didn't wait for a finalised version before adding support for it to IE.
They then set it to default, which is likely to be what most users would set it to anyway. "Would you like to be tracked? Yes/No"
Apache then said "IE is supporting this and pushing it by default, therefore we shall ignore this header"
W3C are now debating it further and not really liking the idea now
Is that paraphrasing close?
Re: Yay, new standards
Yes. The point being that a default on setting would be so ubiquitous that ad agencies would ignore it, rendering it pointless.
The idea is to offer a little bit of hope to those who can be bothered.
Personally, I suspect flashblock, noscript and always using incognito is probably your best bet.
Re: Yay, new standards
To be specific, one guy on the Apache project said that.
That guy is paid by Adobe, who make a metric fuckton of their income from tracking ads.
Sometimes jumping to the obvious conclusion is unhelpful.
Re: Yay, new standards
"The point being that a default on setting would be so ubiquitous that ad agencies would ignore it, rendering it pointless"
So we'll get the httpd to ignore it instead, saving the ad agency the time and effort!
As a (partial) solution by other means, ISPs could offer privacy options (that might be enabled by default for the great unwashed), such as NAT (effectively destroying the association with an IP-address and a particular user/device, already widely used with mobile data) and mapping known ad servers and other trackers to 127.0.0.1 (or similar) in DNS (akin AdAway / custom hosts file).
The problem with this ... at least, the problem for the advertisers is...
Who in their right minds will disable these privacy options?
If this were to happen, the entire tracking industry might as well shrivel up and die (like Monsanto in Europe). and zero fucks (from me anyway) will be given.
Advertising Standards
Maybe instead of working on a tech standard that only works based on the whims of the advertiser, they should be working on an advertising standard in and of itself.
Specifying when, how and in what format advertising should appear. I have no problem with unobtrusive ads, it's the one's that popup in front of the text I'm trying to read, with loud noises or graphics.
Advertisers: Big splashy graphics, noise and popup windows make me NOT want to buy anything you produce.
Youtube: rather than a stupid minute long ad I don't want to watch, letting me skip after 5 seconds - which I almost always do; just have a 2 second splash that states "Video brought to you by..." (Google used to know how to do subtle advertising. Why does it seem like they've gone out and hired all the obnoxious marketers from other failed web-enterprises?)
Re: Advertising Standards
noisy ads made me modify my hosts file at work. It's also why I use noscript at home.
I agree with you fully, I don't mind non-obtrusive ads. Occasionally I'll even click on one. ONE ad that makes noise, and I block your network.
The exceptions are ads in videos. I'm expecting the video to make noise, so the ad isn't so bad, provided it's not exceptionally louder then the video.
Seems like a pretty convincing majority to me... 12%
Browser that doesn't request those ad company urls
A browser should be made that does not even send out requests to the ad networks. Why should I even request the ads whose urls appear in the webpage? No reason to, as far as I can see.

If you could pick three restaurants to be within walking distance of where you live...
- s
- sillygoosedown Feb 23, 2010 06:54 PM
What would they be? Of course, they have to be in the LA area. This is different from a best restaurant in LA thread. For example, I think Spago and Urasawa are great restaurants, but I don't really care if they're close to me or not--I don't eat at them all that often. The restaurants should be restaurants you'd eat at so frequently that they would have a significant impact on your life.
I've given this a great deal of thought. Actually, I've given it precisely 10 minutes of drunken thought. My three choices:
Zelo's Pizza. I would eat here at least once a week were it not in Arcadia. In my really humble opinion, this is the best pizza in the area, beating the much lauded Pizzeria Mozza and also Tomato Pie (which deserves a shout-out for not sucking like all its peers).
Udipi Palace. I would eat here at least weekly if it were not in Artesia. I guess I'm weird. I'd kill to have their idli with coconut chutney right across the street, not to mention the dosas and everything else.
Sam's Bagels. Average bagels are not worth eating at all. But I'll eat good bagels on a daily basis. I'd probably have a bagel from Sam's 3-4 times a week were it nearby.
There you have it: three idiosyncratic choices. I thought about Joans on Third but I'm not sure it qualifies because it's not really a restaurant.
re: miss chai latte
Interesting. I've never been much of a noodle soup or a dumpling girl. What do you like at J&J?
re: sillygoosedown
J&J--love their XLB. Shio Ramen with special pork at Santouka and Dan Dan Mien at Dai Ho. Zelo's is on my list of places to try.
re: maxzook
nice choices!
re: NYCnowLA
You move the restaurants to you, silly.
re: NYCnowLA
I think the idea is to pick three places you *wish* were walking distance from you and from each other, not necessarily places that *are* within walking distance.
For example, the OP's first two suggestions are 28 miles from each other, and Sam's Bagels on Larchmont is 26 miles from Artesia.
re: maxzook
Never been to or even heard of Caioti but I will have to check that out sometime.
re: sillygoosedown
Caioti is a legendary place. The original owner, Ed Ladou, who passed away a little while ago, was grought from SF by Wolfgang Puck to make the now famous California pizzas at Spagos. Then he was consulted by the founders of the California Pizza Kitchen chain. I hope he got a nickel for every California pizza ever served.
re: Ogawak
"I hope he got a nickel for every California pizza ever served"
Don't count on it ... ;)
He was a wonderful, sweet man, and Caioti is a fine memorial to his tastes and influence.
re: maxzook
I've never eaten at Caioti. Would do you folks recommend getting there when I visit?
re: mrshankly
My personal all-time fave is the lamb sausage pizza, although I've never been disappointed with any of their pizzas. Also, remember that Ed Ladou invented the BBQ chicken pizza.
re: maxzook
On further reflection, while I love Elite it's more of a special occasion place. I can more easily see myself walking to Din Tai Fung for a last-minute weekend meal.
Din Tai Fung Restaurant
1108 S Baldwin Ave, Arcadia, CA 91007
re: Muskrat
OK...I have a confession. I think the pancakes at the Pantry are good.
re: sillygoosedown
A worthy confession... the pancakes ARE good and the buckwheat pancakes are spectacular!
my three places... Langer's, Mantee Cafe, Golden State
re: Muskrat
What jurisdiction do I file?
Piccola Trattoria- which IS across the street from me. Handmade pastas w/amazing sauces. Wish I could eat it daily w/o it sticking to my body! ...And, I don't even like pasta.... www.piccolatrattoria.com
Sea Harbour - See it in my dreams! Esp. those egg white and coconut, buttery light as a feather puffs and,
Babita - Then I wouldn't have to bother with licking the plate 'cuz it would be across the street and not a 45 minute drive away
Walking distance from home would mean I eat there for weekend brunch with the dogs, for a casual dinners, or dinner and (lots) drinks so I can walk home.
Dr. Hogly Wogly's Tyler Texas BBQ
Haven Gastropub
Bay Cities
and, since were going for the wish list anyway,
Noura Cafe (yes, the one that closed down years ago and is now Comme Ca)
Animal - cuz everything's freakin' unbelievable
Baby Blues BBQ - cuz we LOVE bbq and that mac & cheese
Wilshire - cuz I want my backyard to be that patio....
Excellent question...and how difficult the answer!
1) A restaurant in Monte Carlo (yes, I'm name-dropping - although I can't remember the restaurant's name...) where I had my first meal after being dreadfully ill. The food, the scenery...
2) Musso Frank - what magic - always!
3) Shanghai Winter Garden (if it still existed) - those who know will know.
re: Servorg
Hey, Serv, what do you like at Golden State?? Have yet to go, since it's across the street from Animal, I can hardly pull myself away..... but heard good things re: the beer selection, which would get my DH to take me, hopefully soon!
re: Phurstluv
GS has a great burger. This is a "very, very" casual restaurant. I want to have one of their beer floats the next time.
re: Servorg
Okay, thanks, will definitely try them soon. And beer floats? My husband will be in heaven.......
re: Phurstluv
I mean "beer" floats. Beer and brown bread ice cream...Like I said, haven't tried it yet but I plan on giving it a go.
re: Servorg
Yea, I get it. Like I said, DH will love it - he believes beer is THE perfect food....
re: Phurstluv
Definitely have your husband talk to the owner when you visit. He's nearly always in working at the counter and is a total beer geek. If you happen to make it there on a Friday or Saturday, they have fish and chips those days that I think are awesome. Also, I have friends who swear by this place as a good place to take their kids, although I would probably attempt that during the day time rather than at night just so you can make sure you get a table easily.
re: mollyomormon
Great, thanks, MollyO. I was going to ask re: bringing the kidlets, since sometimes it's easier than getting a babysitter these days. Will definitely try to go during the day.
re: Phurstluv
When you go, try the curry ketchup. I couldn't stop eating it.
Pann's (surprise!!)
Le Saint Amour
I've left off faves such as Langer's because they're easy to get to, either with or without a car; these are the ones that are either a schlepp or a PITA for parking or both...
re: mollyomormon
I was including "accessible by rail" and "nice big parking lot" in my "easy to get to" category. Langer's, for instance, qualifies both ways, and since I'm perched on the edge of the SGV great dim sum is less than half an hour away, and parking's typically a problem only on weekends.
re: Will Owen
Being in Santa Monica, neither of these things are true for me, sadly. But at least Pann's and Mariscos Chente are close!
Great post, SGD.
My choices
Antojitos Carmen (my new favorite Mexican)
Vitos for pizza, eggplant parm sandwiches and calzone
Dean Sin World for XLB
Honorable mention:
Vietnam Restaurant
Won Kok for bao and great chao fun.
Tamatebako for good everyday Japanese
If i could walk to these places, I might never cook.
re: Ogawak
I would mention BigMista's but he moves around a lot. I'll settle for Bludsoe's.
Also Sea Harbor for dim sum.
re: WildSwede
Las Fuentes... yes!!! Good call. It's so far from my house and I rarely get a chance to get their carne con queso tacos:)
re: WildSwede
that's just down the street from me, which is why i am having such a hard time answering this question. everything i love best is really close. Melody's, Fab Hot Dogs, and Tacos Corona (for their refried beans only) are 2 minutes from me.
re: Jelly71
Yeah, I have been going to Las Fuentes since it opened and was no bigger than my left foot. I grew up in Reseda. Now when I am in the valley and I am not going to Cupid's, I will call in an order for their Burrito de Bistek Encebollado (cooked med rare) and run in and grab it... when I have more time, I eat in. Have not had it in a while, though, since all my valley trips have recently been directly after work and going straight to a meeting.
re: wienermobile
Brent's! One more attempt to get out there this week to try their black pastrami reuben sandwich. I have to get one of these soon or I am going to have to turn in my CH membership card! ;-D>
re: Servorg
Brent's black pastrami reuben is one of my favorites too!
Can I cheat and just pick three neighborhoods?
SGV Chinese
Hollywood Thai Town
East LA Mexican
With a bonus request of having all food trucks, gourmet or otherwise make a regular stop in my area. I would be a happy and fatter camper if I could have access to all three of those foods all the time.
re: Jase
Jase, I think that it's even more invaluable for those who come to this thread later, and who don't know those neighborhoods at all, to learn which specific places you would be going to on a regular basis if you lived there. That way, if they happen to find themselves in one of those neighborhoods, they will then have a "destination" to plug into their GPS.
re: Servorg
What? And deprive them the joys of actually searching for what's appealing for their personal tastes in those areas? To read all the debates about what's good? This a fun thread but no there's no context to discuss the various offerings in those neighborhoods. That's why I didn't just say SGV or Hollywood or East LA. I put the cuisine right after.
Besides, I love watching you exercise your search and linking skills when you answer posts of that nature. I am but a padwan to your jedi. So in honor of your skills.
SGV Chinese
Hollywood Thai Town
East LA Mexican
re: Jase
"What? And deprive them the joys of actually searching for what's appealing for their personal tastes in those areas? To read all the debates about what's good?

Totally agree if someone is moving or has moved into a new neighborhood. Then they have all the time to explore and come up with their own conclusions. I was just seeing this thread as a bit of "food fantasy" in which, not only did we get to name which restaurants we wanted to live closer too, but also to allow those who just happened to be passing through a particular area for some reason to be able to pinpoint something that we thought was essential to our reasons to eat.
I mean, two of my picks are adjacent to each other, but the third is no place near those two (Teresitas in east LA) so I am having a bit of fantasy fun moving places together if I had the power to do so...as if I could ever be so lucky.
re: mc michael
Don't put Diddy Riese anywhere near me!! I'd have to up my bulemic activity...I mean exercise...from 3-4 times a week to 10+.
re: sillygoosedown
That's the spirit!
… An intriguing post. The first two choices were relatively easy, however, I spent a while pondering the third. I would not want my special favorite restaurants to be within walking distance of home because I would visit them far too often and soon wear out their special appeal. Moreover, there is something undeniably engaging, ritualistic even, about deciding "where to go out and eat today?" To the city or the shore? Dress up, dress down or go as I am. Drive or ride? Walk, you say. Well, okay:
Sushi Nozawa – Nozawa-san's bulging blue crab hand rolls
Mariscos Chente – Sergio's magnificent robalo zarandeado and tacos de marlin
Merhaba – Hanna's tsebhie derho, kitfo, hamli and inimitable injera
… "Feets, don' fail me now!" (sic)
re: degustateur
Is Merhaba so much better than the Robertson restaurants that it's worth driving to OC?
re: sillygoosedown
Well, sillygoosedown, the short answer is no. Merkato and Messob are both viable alternatives, perhaps even superior, to Merhaba for meat dishes. Both offer selections that I love, such as dulet and gored-gored, that Merhaba does not. Rahel is clearly superior to all three for veggies and offers a great injera as well. Merhaba serves the finest injera I've ever tasted and the remainder of the menu is very comforting to me, particularly the dishes I mentioned in my first response to your survey. Each of those, imho, is truly best of breed.
Merhaba is almost equidistant to me from Little Ethiopia (on Fairfax), albeit a much easier commute along with plenty of free parking. It remains, after almost eight years, my go-to Ethiopian restaurant. I've eaten Ethiopian food regularly for well over thirty years at many establishments nationwide.
Interestingly, if Merhaba were walking distance from my home, I would likely frequent other SoCal Ethiopian restaurants more often.
It's taken me days to come up with this!
1. Barbrix
2. Pizzeria Mozza
3. It's a tie between Musha and Nanbankan
Seriously homesick ex-SoCal girl here--what I'd give right now to be within walking distance of –
–any of the big, good Cantonese dim sum/seafood places in Monterey Park (cuz then I'll be within walking distance of breakfast, lunch, and dinner!)
–tie between Jitlada and Monte Alban--I miss them both terribly!
I'm now three time zones away from all of this goodness. Appreciate the treasures that you've got, even if you have to sit in traffic a while to get them!

There is a good level of support, replies came within a 24 hour time frame. A ticketing system would be a nice to have but I guess this is up each company. I'm pleased with my overall experience with this extensions, functionality and support.
Will be using this for future projects.
Hi Neil,
Thank you for your feedback, we're all ears.
We are currently working on releasing an responsive version. We estimate to have it ready in a month or sooner.
As of 5.3.0 we've released the price per child functionality.
We're continuously improving our documentation in order to be as clear as possible.
It's really missing a lot of basic funtionality that should not be missing in such an expensive extension.
You can't customize the fields a customer needs to fill in, you can't select if you want only registered users to be able to book. Prices are only calculated per night, not selectable to be calculated per day. And so much more missing functionality. You can get al this functionality if you pay for custom work, or you need to do a lot of PHP editing yourself.
Thank you for the review.
Our system is built based on hotel industry requirements and the prices are calculated on a per night basis. This is a default.
The fields that a customer needs to fill in were also selected to meet the requirements of the lodging industry not an over day pet saloon.
For our clients to have a good understanding of our system, we provide a full demo site, including front-end and administration area. You have access to all the features of the extension to make a decision in full knowledge.
We want to help all our customers to adapt the system for all kind of businesses but sometimes this requires custom work.
I just bought the componnet but i dont know how to set up my bank acount for when costemer puy with visa card that i can get money to my account . i see there is some things with paypal but i dont know hot to set it up can some one help me please
thanks already
Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll help you setup your credit card processor.
I was also pleased by their friendly support. They answered in time and got me out of troubles.
Nice job until here. But when I wanted to set the price for a room based on different season it was a little complicated, but it was done with a little help from support team.
The support team were nice and they respond quickly to all my e-mails. I thank them for that.
I recommend this component and this company. I had a good experience with them.
We are currently releasing a new, improved version, which among other features, facilitates setting room prices per seasons. Setting seasonal room prices is now more intuitive and easy to use.
Thank you for your feedback.
There were 2 things that I liked most on this company, which unfortunately cannot be found very easily:
1. They continuously add new functionality to the component
2. I've got updates for free that were very useful. They have added some reports functionality that was very handy and my client was very pleased. They covered a black spot of the application with that reports.
In general the communication was good and I've got a good impression working with them.

INDIANAPOLIS – Federal investigators say Indiana's workplace safety agency mishandled complaints, put its inspectors under strict time constraints and didn't help whistleblowers.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration in a report released Wednesday made 22 recommendations for improvement at the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The Indianapolis Business Journal reports (http://bit.ly/1g0UOoa) Regional OSHA Administrator Nick Walters, in a Feb. 25 letter to the state agency, noted it had made some changes but needed to make more. Walters asked IOSHA Commissioner Rick Ruble to respond within 30 days.
OSHA's report said Indiana appeared negligent in not inspecting an Indianapolis Power & Light plant after a March 2013 dust explosion. An IOSHA compliance officer told superiors it represented a potential "imminent danger."
IOSHA spokesman Bob Dittmer said the agency has completed action on all but two of the 22 recommendations for improvement.

CHICAGO General Motors Co. plans to invest $691 million in its manufacturing operations in three Mexican cities, and will spend an additional $133 million to install a third stamping press at its assembly and stamping plant in Wentzville, Mo.
"GM is about to reach 78 years in Mexico, and this new investment means more employment and development opportunities for the regions of Silao, San Luis Potosí and Toluca, and more advanced technology that will benefit our customers," Ernesto M. Hernandez, president and managing director of General Motors de México S de RL de CV, said in a statement. "The quality of our employees work continues transcending borders, allowing us to continue attracting investment to maintain strong production of vehicles, engines and transmissions of outstanding quality for our customers around the world."
The automaker will spend $349 million at its Silao complex for a new transmission plant and a new generation of 8-speed transmissions; $211 million to expand the Toluca complex; and $131 million at San Luis Potosí to expand its next-generation transmission plant.
Separately, GM said it will build a 114,000-square-foot addition at Wentzville and install a third stamping press, which will make manufacturing more flexible. Construction will begin in July, and GM expects the press to be operational by early 2015. The Detroit-based automaker anticipates hiring 55 additional workers to staff the new line.
Wentzville makes full-size vans, the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana, and is undergoing construction and installing new tooling to manufacture the next-generation midsize pickups, the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon.
The investment adds to the $380 million GM has already spent since November 2011 to prepare the plant to build trucks. The new press will increase the plants capacity in stamping fenders, doors and other key components for the new pickups and full-size vans.
"Stamping parts where we assemble vehicles improves manufacturing efficiency and contributes to the high level of quality our customers deserve," GM North America manufacturing manager Larry Zahner said.
The Wentzville plant, which opened 30 years ago, employs 2,000 people on two shifts.

Ghost Town's spotty financial disclosure frustrates creditorsWritten by Becky Johnson
As Ghost Town heads toward its first big showdown in bankruptcy court next week, objections from those owed money are beginning to pile up.
Ghost Town, an Old West amusement park in Maggie Valley, recently filed a disclosure statement and reorganization plan, which are supposed to outline how it intends to pull out of bankruptcy — presumably making enough profit to repay its debts.
However, Ghost Town failed to include profit and loss statements, back tax filings or basic financial projections as part of its disclosure statement. Objections over the spotty disclosure statement were filed by several parties owed money, including the Haywood County Tax Collector, Mountain Energy and BB&T, the mortgage holder on the property.
Some 200 businesses, many of them local contractors and small businesses in the region, are collectively owed more than $2.4 million. They are at the bottom of the list to be repaid. The reorganization plan calls for paying back only 25 percent of what the businesses are owed over a seven year period using a portion of net profits.
In an objection, BB&T said such a claim was disingenuous. Since Ghost Town's current owners have never turned a profit, it is possible the businesses owed money would never get a dime, BB&T wrote in its objection.
Ultimately, everyone owed money will get to vote on whether to accept the reorganization plan or force Ghost Town into a liquidation — namely selling off the mountaintop property to the highest bidder and using the proceeds to pay off the debt.
In the disclosure statement, CEO Steve Shiver encouraged everyone owed money to vote yes, claiming they likely won't see a dime if the park is liquidated, since it won't fetch enough to pay off all the debt.
