FTC Officially Approves Facebook's Acquisition Of WhatsApp, With Stern Warning
As previously speculated, the Federal Trade Commission approved Facebook's $19 billion acquisition of cross-platform messaging service WhatsApp, stressing that WhatsApp must honor its commitment to maintain its pre-Facebook privacy practices.
REPORT: FTC To OK Facebook-WhatsApp Deal
The New York Post is reporting that the Federal Trade Commission will approve Facebook's $19 billion acquisition of cross-platform messaging company WhatsApp, which was originally announced in February.
Privacy Groups Respond To WhatsApp Founder/CEO Jan Koum's Blog Post With Updated FTC Filing
The Electronic Privacy Information Center and the Center for Digital Democracy — which filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission earlier this month against Facebook's $19 billion acquisition of cross-platform messaging company WhatsApp, alleging that the privacy of current WhatsApp users will be affected by Facebook's use of their information — filed an update with the FTC Friday, in response to a blog post by WhatsApp Co-Founder and CEO Jan Koum earlier this week.
Privacy Groups File FTC Complaint Vs. Facebook-WhatsApp Deal
Facebook's $19 billion acquisition of cross-platform mobile messaging company WhatsApp, announced last month, became the target of privacy groups, as the Electronic Privacy Information Center and the Center for Digital Democracy filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, alleging that the privacy of current WhatsApp users will be affected by Facebook's use of their information.

Facebook Re-Examining Its Privacy Changes; Delays Their Implementation
Responding to criticism of the changes to its data use policy and statement of rights and responsibilities, announced last week, Facebook said it will delay the implementation of those changes.
Privacy Groups Pan Facebook's Site-Governance Changes In Letter To FTC
The changes Facebook announced last week to its data use policy and statement of rights and responsibilities have drawn the ire of consumer privacy groups, as six of them sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission Wednesday expressing concerns over the use of users' personal data in advertising, The New York Times' Bits blog reported.
Child Safety Groups Take Aim At Instagram
Facebook-owned photo-sharing network Instagram is under fire from advocates for children's safety, with more than 4,500 signatures having been collected on a petition on Change.org that calls for Instagram to make the default settings private for users aged 13 through 17, and not geotag- and geolocation-enabled.

Sundance Gold, Real World Blues: Scott Foundas in LA Weekly
Scott Foundas writes of the coulda, shoulda, woulda world of those filmmakers whose Sundance acclaim didn't catapult them into the big time. Or even a steady gig. Here's the stats:
Of the 290 dramatic features that played at Sundance between 1984 and 2002 (the last year it seemed prudent to include in this survey, given the amount of time it can take to set up an indie film), 156 of their directors have gone on to make zero or, at the most, one additional dramatic feature.
In his LA Weekly piece, Foundas recounts the cautionary tale of Gary Walkow, who'll show his latest work, Crashing, at Slamdance. Walkow, who has more than his fair share of bad luck for one lifetime, had a festival hit, The Trouble With Dick, sold it to a small company who folded before releasing the film. And then he made another film, went to Sundance, and watched the heavy-hitters engage in a bidding war over Shine. And he's doing this again.
But the stories of his other two examples, Jill Godmilow and Joyce Chopra, aren't as compelling. Godmilow teaches film production, makes earnest non-fiction films that no one wants to see and has gloomy thoughts about her students, their debts, and their meaningless empty lives:
You've basically got to walk into a cubicle the day you graduate and start paying that debt off until you're 45.
Some would call those people "an audience". Her bad luck came in the form of Robert Altman, who picked up the option to Raymond Carver's book, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, after Godmilow was unable to raise the money for her film version. So, she stopped trying.
Joyce Chopra, who's frankly lucky to have had a career working in network TV after making Smooth Talk for PBS, wants to make a reunion picture with the original stars, Laura Dern and Treat Williams, but can't raise the money.
What's missing from the piece are the tales of those who weren't big hits first time at Sundance, but went on to actual careers, like producer Christine Vachon–or maybe that's another piece. There's also some doom and gloom from another film guy turned academic who sees no chance for YouTube auteurs to go mainstream.
Welkow keeps on writing every day, but the other two would rather whine, it seems. Back in the past, Sundance was a more rarified atmosphere, where the potential box office of a film didn't matter. But it's show business, and those who forget that aren't going to get more than a plaque and an air kiss.

All the gold in the world has no significance. That which is lasting are the thoughtful acts which we do for our fellow man.Adolfo Prieto
Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left over for the others.Elizabeth Fishel

For the second month in a row, the number of American and NATO troops killed in Afghanistan—45—was higher than in Iraq. In fact, the so-called forgotten war was deadlier last month than at any time since the United States invaded in 2001, according to an AP tally.
AP via the Los Angeles Times:
In Iraq, at least 31 international soldiers died in June: 29 U.S. troops and one each from the former Soviet republics of Georgia and Azerbaijan. There are 144,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, along with 4,000 from Britain and small contingents from several other nations.
The 40-nation international coalition is much broader in Afghanistan, where only about half of the 65,000 international troops are American.
U.S. Maj. Gen. Jeffrey J. Schloesser, the top commander of U.S. forces [in Afghanistan], said in June that militant attacks were becoming more complex—such as gunfire from multiple angles plus a roadside bomb. Insurgents are using more explosives, he said.

Our photographer Kim was fabulous! He showed up early and got shots I wouldn't have even thought of. He even took the time to show some of the pictures he was getting. I am so excited to get the pictures. He is also timely and my picture cd was ready in less than a week.
Wedding: 4/26/2014

Wedding: 8/17/2013
East Coast Photography is a good value. Our photographer worked his tush off on our wedding day and kept us on schedule.
That said, I did not know who my photographer would be until 3 days before my wedding, despite asking weeks earlier. It is East Coast's standard operating procedure to contact you 2 weeks to 3 days before the wedding. As you can imagine, a bride is super busy 3 days beforehand. The photographer insisted on talking with me as I drove to my rehearsal.
Also, one person who often answers the phone in the office is very mean spirited and rude.
If you want customer service, I would not recommend.
Wedding: 7/20/2013
We had two photographers and they both worked constantly. Very professional and took care of any request we had.
Wedding: 9/1/2012
We chose to use East Coast because they did my sister's wedding 4 years ago and the service was outstanding. Matt, our photographer was great! At first, he was a little bit quiet and seemed unsure but he did a great job. He had great ideas for our reveal and where to take our formal shots. Can't wait to see the final product this week!
Wedding: 7/21/2012
Yyvette was awesome! She called me several times before the wedding to go over exactly what we wanted. She was friendly and very creative! She was with us the entire night to document all of our special moments! We can't wait to see our pictures!
Wedding: 4/28/2012
The photos turned out beautiful. Peter was friendly and professional. We didn't get as many family pictures, but the ones we have are great.
Wedding: 11/13/2010
We booked East Coast for photography and DJ services, which was very convenient. I met them at a bridal show and loved them immediately. The photographer was great - laid back and friendly, and very easy to work with. It only took 2 weeks for the photos to come back. I haven't seen them yet, but I have an appointment. Can't wait!
Wedding: 11/6/2010
Besides great pics, loved how responsive East Coast Event Group was when exchanging emails or leaving voice-mails. Calls and emails were returned right away by such friendly associates.

My photographer was actually David Zaveloff (he was contracted out by East Coast). He was great, and I wish I would have found him on my own. Very easy to get along with, took great shots, suggested somewhere fun to do some pics of my husband and I (we went to a mini golf course).;East Coast told me I would have my proofs in 2 - 4 weeks. It actually took about 8 weeks to get them in.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

willing to negotiate with the Mexican government as well as possibly
disbanding as an organization. These types of banners, referred to as
narcomantas in Mexico, are a common form of propaganda used by the many
organized criminal groups throughout Mexico to sway public opinion about a
particular criminal organization or member of the Mexican government, as
they are typically highly visible and hung where there is a high volume of
either vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Indeed recent moves and events
have placed the LFM as an organization in a tight spot; however, the group
will likely never engage in meaningful negotiations with the Mexican
government or simply quietly disband with out a serious fight.
The death of Ignacio a**El Nachoa** Coronel Villarreal [LINK=], the third
highest ranking member in the Sinaloa Federation, in July of this year and
the subsequent arrest of several key leaders within his organization in
the weeks following his death essentially left a power vacuum in the
Jalisco and Colima methamphetamine trafficking market a** Coronel
Villarreala**s primary activity. El Nachoa**s networka**s methamphetamine
production and trafficking activities were the largest in Mexico which
earned him the title a**King of Icea** (for the crystal form of
methamphetamine known as ice). LFM has also been engaged in
methamphetamine production and trafficking for several years now,
primarily based out of the state of Michoacan, and is a staple revenue for
the organization. Additionally, LFM and the Sinaloa Federation had been
on good terms as they were both part of the New Federation [LINK=] along
with the Gulf cartel in an alliance against the Los Zetas organization.
However, LFM attempted to fill the power vacuum in the Jalisco and Colima
methamphetamine market and essentially move in on established Sinaloa
Federation territory and markets, which Sinaloa already had another person
and network to fill the gap. While minimal confrontation between the two
groups has taken place publically, LFM has fallen out of favor with the
much larger and operationally superior Sinaloa Federation because of the
attempt to fill Nacho's place?.
This also comes at time when LFM and the faction of the former Beltran
Leyva Organization (BLO) led by Hector Beltran Leyva, also known as Cartel
del Pacifico Sur (CPS), are engaged in a territorial dispute over the
coastline of northern Guerrero and southern Michoacan. The areas of
Acapulco, Zihuatenjo and Lazero Cardenas are of the primary focus of both
of these organizations, and it was also recently reviled that the reported
20 tourists from Michoacan that were kidnapped in Acapulco in Oct. were
reportedly ordered by LFM to escalate the tensions in the region as part
of this conflict. STRATFOR sources have revealed that a counter assault
is reportedly in the works to effectively seize control of the disputed
region by the CPS.
With a two front inter-cartel conflict on the horizon, the alliance
between LFM and the remnants of the Valencia cartel that was initially
formed to fight against Los Zetas some months ago has reportedly evolved
into an alliance against the Sinaloa Federation and CPS. The Valencia
cartel is very limited in terms of operational assets, but is one of the
oldest criminal organizations in Mexico with a deep and entrenched network
throughout the region. While access to this network is beneficial it
does not ensure safety and stability for LFM especially if a two front
assault is to take place.
While it certainly appears that LFM has its back up against the wall with
pressure on its northern and southern flanks as well as the omnipresent
threat of being targeting by Mexican federal security forces, there is no
indication that LFM would ever broker a deal with the Mexican government
or, even less likely, disband as an organization. The LFM is known for
its often strange methods of conducting business and its pseudo-Christian
ideology preached by its leader known as a**El Mas Locoa** [LINK=], but
above all it is a ruthless and often violen criminal drug trafficking
organization, and when organizations such as LFM are backed into a corner
they have proven themselves to be remarkably resilient and violent,
especially when confronting perceived threats.

iPad installed in a cabinet: the ultimate kitchen utensil?
Tuesday, May 4, 2010 - 12:44pm
Lots of people were excited to use the iPad in the kitchen to look up recipies, check email and surf the web. But one person took this to the extreme, installing the iPad in a cabinet door to really make it a built-in part of the kitchen.
It's pretty neat, really. The iPad acts as their kitchen's jukebox, news and communications hub, TV, and photo booth. Of course, all of this could be done with a simple stand, but would it look this cool? No. The answer is no.

A pleasure enjoyed completely........
We live in a bit of paradise on the northern tip of Door County WI. As much as we love it here...the winters are getting colder as we get older so we decided to spend the month of January in the subtropics of south Florida this year. In our long search we found this home and after speaking with Ana (the owner) we knew it was the right one. The home is located in a working neighborhood, quiet and friendly and a short distance from one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. It's a comfortable, clean, well furnished home. The kitchen is easy to work in (important to me) with all the things you need to cook and dine well. The bedrooms (beds) were very comfortable so our nights were restful...good nights sleep so we were ready for the next days adventures. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. There was even a washer and dryer.....very welcome. The house is only a few blocks from 2 major routes, Tamiami Trail (north/south) and Immokalee Rd (east/west) making it very easy to get anywhere....shopping, eating, entertainment and of course BEACHES. We spent time in Old Naples and the Naples Pier. We went fishing with A&B Charters out of Tin City (awesome). We went to Naples Botanical Garden twice and swam at the YMCA lap pool 3 times a week or more. We explored south through the Everglades and north through Bonita Springs, Estero and Cape Coral. One day we spent the day at the Thomas Edison winter retreat in Fort Myers....an amazing day. We walked several beaches from Sanibel all the way down to Naples Beach and found Vanderbilt beach, right there within walking distance, to be the best of them all. It was all we anticipated...more then we expected. We even had the pleasure of meeting Ana and Renee (the owners). Gracious and warm are words that come to mind when I think of them and we wish we could have spent a little more time with them. Come to that...I wish we had booked through February. Oh well...maybe next year. All in all, our time at Azule was wonderful and I would recommend the hospitality and comfort of this lovely home to anyone. Thanks Ana and Renee for sharing .....we loved being there. Linda and Earl
Good location. Tranquil setting.
You never really know how a place will look until you get there. What the neighbours will be like and how safe the area will be. We liked this place the moment we walked in and looked around. It a lovely outdoor area which was screened in and an fenced outdoor area. We had our dogs with us so it meant they didn't have to be tied up outside when we were out there. The pool area was lovely however the water was too cold for us to swim in. Being that it was about a mile from lovely beaches we didn't care about the pool. It was very close to groceries and shopping. The neighbourhood was safe to walk around in and I did a lot of walking! The only thing I didn't like was that there was no washing machine or dryer. Going to the laundromat was inconvenient. They had a clothes rack so you could hang your stuff out to dry if you wanted. There was a bottle of really nice white wine in the fridge when we arrived which was welcom since we had a long drive from Canada to get there and appreciated just sitting out the backyard, looking out into the lagoon at the birds and turtles and sipping a nice cold glass of wine. We would stay again. We recommend Loving Hut restaurant in Naples. We are vegens and the selection of food and taste was excellent for any diet. Good prices and friendly service. Go to Delnor State park which is just a mile away. For $6 you can park all day. We went back and forth from the house to the park throughout the day. No dogs allowed on the beach but they are allowed in the park. It is a fantastic beach with no houses or hotels so you will see lots of pelicans and other birds and we saw dolphins every day just off the shore.

2008 'おくりびと' Directed by Yôjirô Takita
Daigo, a cellist, is laid off from his orchestra and moves with his wife back to his small hometown where the living is cheaper. Thinking he's applying for a job at a travel agency he finds he's being interviewed for work with departures of a more permanent nature – as an undertaker's assistant.
Popular reviewsMore
The postmortem is wholly conclusive and far from a pretty one. Loved ones may want to leave the room. Those that wish to stay please feel free to leave your messages of condolence below along with any respects you wish to pay. It would be nice to reflect upon a quick passing, a painless death onto a better place. But in a time of grief such as this, hiding the truth will hinder far more than it will help.
In reality Departures is a stinker of a film, a saccharine infested Oscar vehicle that smashed through the gates of the Academy and took what it came for. Any ideas given toward seeing a world in which conflicted characters overcome complicated…
A truly great piece of film making.
Departures is a beautifully acted Japanese movie, which managed to utterly immerse me into the fascinating life of Daigo Kobayashi, a successful cellist, who suddenly finds that his orchestra is to be disbanded.
This life has been a safety net and the regular income vanishes leaving Daigo with no money to pay for the brand new cello he has just bought and is facing big debts. Daigo has to go home and explain this all to his wife Mika.
His confidence in playing or working with another orchestra is all but lost and Daigo decides to sell his instrument and try something else.
From this point the story becomes incredibly touching and poignant…
Departures is the second movie in as many days to leave me on the verge of blubbering like a baby. I just can't handle this, I need to watch something manly. Damn you, Departures. Damn you for being so good.
Daigo, a Cello player, suddenly loses his job as the orchestra he plays in disbands. Returning home, he reluctantly accepts a job as an encoffiner, an act in which one prepares bodies of the deceased before they are placed in coffins. I had never heard of this practice before, so the whole process was at first a little strange but grew to be quite intriguing and by the end I fully understood why people would want to have it done.…
Such a touching portrayal of life and death. Unfortunately it is a movie that has been spoilt by my viewing conditions so I cannot rate it as highly as I think it probably deserves as I wasn't always concentrated. However, having said that I do think it is a poignant film and a deeply moving one at that. I could just feel it, even though I wasn't always mentally there!
My problem is that I have bought a new TV that has come with a technical issue that is frankly driving me bonkers! The thing is to most eyes it would be such a minor thing - which is probably why no word on the issue can be found online,…
The east asian new wave films ive got to know in the 21st century are hyper stylized and they're either gory thillers or the romantic, ethereal types. However Departures seems to be part of a neorealist movement reminiscent to the works of Ozu and Naruse.
This film could have been very dreary and draining but Takita keeps it surpisingly light and it turned out to be a lot more fun than i thought. Yet there is a lot of emotional resonance, especially in that heart wrenching final scene. Its a soft, enjoyable and poignant look at the ebb and flow of life.
I really must not have been paying attention to the Oscars for the last half-decade or so, as I only recently discovered this movie existed, let alone won the Foreign Language award in 2008.
Daigo Kobayashi (Masahiro Motoki) is a cellist who is forced to give up his dream of professional musicianship, and his expensive cello, when the orchestra he has recently joined folds. He moves back to his home town and the house left to him by his deceased mother, accompanied by his loyal wife. He answers a job advert in 'departures' and finds himself in the business of 'encoffining'; a traditional art of embalming performed inf front of the deceased's family during the funeral ceremony.
Like Karl Markovic's…
Recent reviewsMore
A newly unemployed cellist takes a job preparing the dead for funerals.
I enjoyed Departures, although I'm surprised it won the Oscar for best film in a foreign language. It's a solid and well made whimsical film but for me doesn't have the weight of an awards contender.
It's quite an original film, as apart from Bernie I haven't seen another set around a funeral home. I did like the social taboo of being part of that industry and why his wife can't understand why he grows to appreciate the artform of what he is doing. At times the film does get a little melodramatic but I think that is a strength rather than a weakness.
Well worth seeking out, but it won't change your life.
Not nearly as effective as a Koreeda picture but has enough charm to keep it from veering into tedium.
Last good bye for new start.
Who would have thought the story of an unemployed cellist becoming an undertaker could be so moving?
Slow and predictable, but still beautiful.
Profoundly moving. Not one I am sure I would watch again and again, but I highly recommend this.
This film fucking made me cry. And it's Japanese!
It deals with the "what if" relationship between a father and a son. And not to mention, that son works in a funeral parlor, beautifying the dead---don't know the exact term for the profession, but I guess the Japanese have this in their culture.
A total must-see. I'm not even being sarcastic.

The Alvita Story...
In 1922, a new era for tea consumption began in America. The herb alfalfa, long known for its beneficial nutrients, was packaged in tea bags and sold to an emerging health food market. This product became known as Alvita and set the standard for future herbal teas. Today, Alvita represents more than forty single-ingredient teas, each one uniquely distinct, just like the individuals who drink them.
Alvita chooses only the highest quality organic, wildcrafted, or cultivated botanicals, perfectly prepared to provide you with the best Mother Nature has to offer. Historical and scientific literature is painstakingly studied to ensure that the correct traditional plant and most appropriate servings are used, delivering premium flavor and quality.
Herbs are gifts from the earth. Alvita takes its stewardship seriously by offering carefully harvested teas in earth-friendly packaging. Our beautifully illustrated boxes are made using recycled paperboard and our English, pillow style tea bags are oxygen bleached, not chlorine treated. You won't find a better product, with a cleaner package... anywhere.
Alvita... brewed with confidence, steeped in tradition.
Dandelion Root
Often considered a pesky weed, dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is of great value to herbalists throughout the world. Besides its traditional use to support liver function, the roasted taproot is ground and enjoyed as a coffee substitute.
Alvita Dandelion Root Tea is made with premium-quality, organic dandelion root, and exudes an enjoyable roasted and nutty flavor and aroma.

UEFA EURO 2008 is a nice soccer game. Its a bit better than FIFA World Cup 2006. I think the controls are a bit weird.

"It was really tasty, expecially the dark sesame part. The only flaw I found with it consists of the rice not having enough taste. I also added an extra teaspoon of sesame oil and soya sauce to the spinach, and it was delicious. Also a great thing that affects how delicious it is depends on the seaweed."
"I made it too! i would lower the heat slightly, though, and take away the lemon juice, or use much less. i also used neufchatel cheese, which is simply reduced fat cream cheese - it works well and is much healthier!! but this is an awesome recipe! it looks great!"

The upgrade will provide up to 10 gigabit capacity (per site) to 281 district facilities. The company reported it expects initial cabling to be completed in 20 months.
The 2011-2012 budget for the district allocates about $540,000 in capital outlay for telecom/WAN connectivity, voice over IP gateways, cell phone repeaters, and new WAN switches.
According to Gray Salada, executive director of Information & Technology Services, the network is crucial to help modernize the district's technology infrastructure to accommodate changes in classroom instructional practices. "The new network will provide students and teachers the flexibility and capacity to access digital resources across the globe facilitating research, communications, and collaboration as well as supporting online curriculum and assessments."
The new WAN will be "hundreds of times faster" than the district's current network, the vendor said in a statement, and will enable the district to continue expanding use of data communications in the future.

The head of Cyprus's central bank said the government is attacking his institution's independence at the same time as his family receives death threats from people who lost money in the country's recent bailout.
"The independence of the central bank of Cyprus is being attacked at this time," Panicos Demetriades, who is also a member of the European Central Bank's Governing Council, said in an interview in Dublin today. His ability to manage the situation is being made more difficult by "death threats not only to myself, but toward my children and my wife," he said.
The central bank is at loggerheads with the government of President Nicos Anastasiades as Cyprus finalizes a 17-billion- euro ($22 billion) bailout agreement that will shrink its banking sector and tax deposits of more than 100,000 euros. Demetriades said the government doesn't have the right to rescind the appointment of deputy governor Spyros Stavrinakis or sell the nation's gold reserves without the central bank's consent. A Cypriot government spokesman declined to comment.
"The government seems to have committed to a sale of state gold without consulting the central bank," Demetriades said, adding there has been "constant interference in relation to the management of the banks under resolution."
ECB President Mario Draghi said today that Cyprus could face sanctions by the European Court of Justice if it breaches European law that prohibits governments from intervening in central-bank affairs. Draghi wrote to Anastasiades this week expressing his concerns.
Deputy Governor
The government annulled the appointment of Deputy Governor Stavrinakis on April 9.
"According to the constitution, the deputy governor is removed from office in the same way as the governor, i.e. through a majority decision of all 13 high court judges," Demetriades said. "However, this procedure has certainly not been followed in this instance. Procedurally, this move by the President needs to be examined."
Two members of the central bank's board, Andreas Matsis and Haralambos Akhniotis, resigned in recent days, a spokesman for the Nicosia-based central bank said today without elaborating.
Those resignations are yet to be explained and the implication is "that the government will be able to appoint people that are closely aligned to it," Demetriades said.
A third board member, Louis Christofides, submitted his resignation today, state-run CYBC reported, without saying how it obtained the information.

"Tyler does it Again!!!"
This is an awesome book! I could not put it down, his almost peotic way of writing will keep you gripped the whole way. Jeremy Davidson does an exceptional job of capturing Tylers attitude and grace as he dance's around the chapters of his life. I love the fact that it doesnt follow an accurate chronological portrayal, more just life as Tyler remembers it, sometimes through a drunken drug filled haze, but aways with a great message and plenty of style.
Loved It!
Will read it again and again...

What I Know About Berliners: 25 Observations
by James and Zoe
1. Berliners are not Germans.
TheyŌĆÖre a special breed all of their own. Berliners have about as much in common with, say, Bavarians as Londoners do with people from the north of England, or New Yorkers do with the southerners in their own country.
2. For example: Berliners just aren't as obsessed with punctuality as other Germans.┬Ā
Sometimes, they're even late┬Ā:O
3. Berliners donŌĆÖt even speak German.
Berlinerisch goes so much further than saying ŌĆ£IckeŌĆØ and replacing ŌĆ£gŌĆØ with ŌĆ£jŌĆØ – itŌĆÖs pretty much a whole language of its own. We vividly remember the final class in a German course after weŌĆÖd not mastered, but *dealt with*, everything (we thought) the language could throw at us, and our teacher played a CD of Berlinerisch. Minds were blown; tears were shed; hopes were dashed.
4. One concept that Berliners donŌĆÖt have their own word for is manners.
ItŌĆÖs not that theyŌĆÖre particularly rude, itŌĆÖs just that holding the door open for others, and thanking people that do so, just arenŌĆÖt things here. Back in London we would step over our fallen grandmother to make sure we got on the Tube, but weŌĆÖd at least say a polite ŌĆ£sorryŌĆØ as we did so.
5. Berliners are punk as fuck.
And not just the die-hard crusties stomping through Friedrichshain, or their offspring loitering on G├Črli Park. That middle-aged checkout lady with bright red hair and a few too many earrings? Your postman, who pairs his Deutsche Post uniform with cut-off shorts and beat-up Dr Martens? Punk. As. Fuck.
6. Berliners donŌĆÖt care what you look like.
You could be an ├╝berhipster with a sky-high beanie and painted-on meggings, or wandering the streets in your pyjamas, and Berliners will treat you with the same indifference that they do everyone else.
7. Berliners donŌĆÖt wear suits, and donŌĆÖt trust anyone that does.
In this city, there are only two types of workers that wear business dress: landlords and politicians. And no one wants to be mistaken for either group.
8. Berliners may not always act like it, but they care.
If they have a problem with the Government, its policies, or its treatment of certain sections of society, theyŌĆÖll take to the streets and shout about it. No matter the state of parliamentary democracy, in Berlin grassroots activism is alive and kicking.
9. Berliners – the vegan Germans.
10. Berliners wonŌĆÖt be told what to doŌĆ"
11. …or what to smoke…
The real problem with the new mayor of Friedrichshain-KreuzbergŌĆÖs plan to decriminalise marijuana in her district? The only people to benefit will be tourists too scared to approach the dealers in G├Črli Park; Berliners are going to keep smoking whatever they like, regardless of what the law says.
12. …or where to smoke it.
The fact that smaller bars successfully kicked back against the 2007 smoking ban is a slight but significant signal that Berliners will NOT be told what to do. Each cigarette smoked indoors is a tiny torch of freedom, and every handmade ŌĆ£RaucherbarŌĆØ sign might as well say ŌĆ£donŌĆÖt fuck with meŌĆØ.
13. In Berlin, thereŌĆÖs a fine line between independence and insanity.
In a city that has always attracted the fringe figures of western society and tested German norms to their limits, itŌĆÖs not always easy to tell the difference between the ŌĆ£life artistsŌĆØ and the crazies. Every time you see a shellshocked-looking person trudging through the streets mumbling to themselves, check their supermarket trolley for ŌĆ£found artŌĆØ or look for someone with a video camera capturing the whole ŌĆ£happeningŌĆØ.
14. Berliners know how to partyŌĆ"
BerlinŌĆÖs awesome clubs are full of friendly people who have their drug intake well under control, and plan to keep going well into Monday morning. The only troublemakers who managed to get past the ruthless door staff are invariably Ausl├żndern. As a waiter told us on our first visit to the city, Berliners ŌĆ£make good partyŌĆØ…
15. …but they make for the worst concert crowds weŌĆÖve ever encountered.
Berliners reserve their enthusiasm for the last few hours of weekend-long techno parties and hardcore punk gigs in squats. Their reaction to every other performance of every other genre of music is to stand stock still and, if they really like what they hear, occasionally unfold their arms to slowly clap.
16. Berliners canŌĆÖt see street art.
Years of over-exposure to grafitti have led them to develop a kind of snow blindness to tags, stickers, murals etc. And with good reason: if Berliners took the time to really look at all of the street art daubed across their city, they would never make it where they were going, and in the most severe cases, their eyes would pop out of their heads.
17. Berliners talk about the weather a lot.
This is great news for us Brits, who treat complaining about the weather as a national sport, and can insert ourselves into any conversation with a few well-chosen references to ŌĆ£Schei├¤wetterŌĆØ and ŌĆ£SchneeŌĆØ.
18. Complaining aside, Berliners make surviving harsh winters look easy.
They pull on some sturdy boots, wrap themselves in layers of Jack Wolfskin, and head out to the U-Bahn, which invariably runs (pretty much) on time. Coming from a country where a few snowflakes on the train tracks brings the nationŌĆÖs infrastructure to a halt, winter in Berlin is refreshingly ŌĆ£business as usualŌĆØ.
19. For Berliners, itŌĆÖs never too early for ice cream…
As soon as temperatures rise above O┬░C again, winter-weary Berliners are like ŌĆ£fuck it, letŌĆÖs get EisŌĆØ.
20. …or for Gl├╝hwein.
Even when the Weichnachtmarkts wonŌĆÖt open for months, you can pick up a cup of the hot stuff from early October onwards in your local Sp├żti. Time to swap out your morning beer for something more festive!
21. Berliners donŌĆÖt eat Currywurst.
ItŌĆÖs just a culinary joke they play on gullible tourists.
22. Berliners never set foot in the ŌĆ£centreŌĆØ of Berlin.
The closest they get to Alexanderplatz is changing U-Bahns underneath it, they know better than to venture within a square mile of the tourist trap/construction zone around Unter den Linden, and wear the fact that theyŌĆÖve never seen Brandenburg Gate like a badge of honour. For Berliners, their Kiez is the real heart of Berlin.
23. Berliners donŌĆÖt want a new airport.
TheyŌĆÖre secretly hoping that if construction drags on any longer, the cityŌĆÖs just going to give up and stick with TXL.
24. Berliners donŌĆÖt hate tourists, they hate douchebags.
If you come here and treat Berlin like your personal playground, blaring your way through Sunday morning leaving a trail of broken beer bottles in your wake, then locals will (justifiably) hate you. Even if youŌĆÖre just staying in a holiday apartment that is intended for residential use, theyŌĆÖll probably still hate you – but thatŌĆÖs your douchebag landlordŌĆÖs fault. In Berlin, you get what you give – and if you disrespect the city, it will disrespect you right back.
25. Deep down, Berliners are teddy bears.
They might seem cold to outsiders, but take the time to talk to Berliners, in their own language – if not Berlinerisch, German will do – and youŌĆÖll find them to be funny, warm and welcoming people. Underneath that chilly exterior, thereŌĆÖs a teddy B├żrliner just waiting to embrace you!
Tell us, Berliners, do you agree? If we've got anything┬Āwrong, or forgotten anything, tell us in the comments below!

I'm talking about that guy who quits/crashes before the game loads, or 1-2 minutes in, and comes back at the 35 minute mark. They've already ruined the game, so does LeaveBuster only recognize them if they're gone when the game ends?
Followup, does reporting someone who quits actually influence anything? Or is LeaveBuster completely automated? I know Leave/AFK reports don't go to tribunal, so where do they go?
Exploding Barrel
Leaverbuster is completely automated. I believe being afk or disconnected for ~5 minutes gives you a strike in LB, but I'm not 100% sure that's how it works.
Lord Ferret
Leavebuster detects when you afk in game. and are disconnected. You dont have to get a leave mark on the game for leavebuster to ban you.
Think of the leavebuster as a point system. Get so many points you get rank 1. then 2 and so forth.
If you afk for 5 min or are disconnected for 5 min you get 1 point for every 5 min you are afk / disconnected. You get 5 points if the game becomes a leave mark on your games. IE it will say leaver.
Lets say get 25 points you get leaver rank 1. Which will ban you anywhere between 1 hour and 1 day. Most people who have internet problems wont notice this ban due to them not playing for that hour or such.
Now if you get 50 points your leave rank goes to 2. Which then will ban you anywhere from 1 day to 3 days.
Then 75 goes to 3. 3 days to 5 days.
100points level 4 . 5 days to 1 week. Which is the max ban you can get from the leavebuster. Now Riot has stated that yes you can be perm banned by leaves in your game and leavebuster.
I would like to think you would need 1000 points to be perm banned by leavebuster. Kinda hard to do IMO.
Now you lose leave points by playing lets say every 5 games not afking or dcing (does not have to be in a row) You will lose 2 points.
Every week that passes (might have to play games for this to work) You lose 3 points. Now After you get off your time ban you auto lose 3 points. so your leaver score will go down.
Now First DC up to 10 min is free. Thus if you DC (not clicking the quit game or closing the program.) you get a pass kinda. This kinda saves people who kinda have internet issues the client crashing.
this is how i view the leavebuster system
Keep in mind that I don't think those are the exact numbers, but it represents a viewpoint on how it works in general.
To directly answer your questions in order. I will pardon leaves in the tribunal. Or rather, I will skip that game if the only thing they're guilty of is a leave. Things happen and I'm lenient about that. If they have a 5 game case and the majority of those games are a leave, I will punish because what they're doing is not attempting to solve their connection problems and continuing to ruin games for at least 4 other people because of it each time. The influence on the case file IF they make it to the Tribunal is to see whether or not is habitual. Fortunately or unfortunately, I haven't had a case that had several leaves as their only offense in it.
The short answer is no, the player can still be in the game to get a mark against them for leaving. While I haven't been "busted" by the leaverbuster because I have a generally sound internet connection, it's always a good idea to get more information on the system and things that can cause your client to become instable. I completely left one game because I didn't know that a system restore would cause the client to not load me into a game at all.
I'd suggest reading these:
Leaverbuster is completely automated. I doubt anyone knows where the "afk/leaving game" reports go, but if someone knows please feel free to prove me wrong.
Ok my information is based off of the end of season 2. If they have changed anything during the preseason my apologies.
Leaver buster is a completely independent automated system. It will never issue a perma ban. Afk/Leaver reports go to tribunal. It is possible to be banned by leaver buster then have a tribunal ban for the exact same games added on to that.
The formula for being warned/banned by leaver buster is somewhat more complex then the theory provided above. A new player is significantly more at risk of being banned then a seasoned one. If you go afk in your first 2 games on a new account you will get a 24 hour ban. A person who has played 100 games(without any afk's) and has 2 back to back games will not even receive a warning. It's mostly based on a ratio of games played vs games where you went afk/left.

Black/Gray Lips
Yes, black and gray lipsticks loomed large on the runway for fall. No, we don't imagine all of us will be able to pull off this particular trend—but it's still worth noting. Because, quite frankly, a few short years ago who would have thought we'd be walking around in black nail polish without having oncoming pedestrians cross to the opposite side of the street? Heading to the family reunion in Ohio? Er, skip it (unless being uninvited to future reunions is your goal). But for an evening at that new club in your hottest LBD? We say why not? You could go to a store like Hot Topic and buy the stuff all the kids are wearing, but if you're not quite ready for goth—try an almost-black shade like Black Cherry from Milani, $3.49 at Drugstore.com
