Those of us that use both PC's and Mac's have know for
quite awhile Mac Intel OS is far superior to Microsoft Intel OS. I was convinced
of that when I booted up a PC and a Mac at the same time with both of them
using the Microsoft OS XP, before Vista was on the market, and the Mac, with
Boot Camp installed, booted up faster than the PC.
What I have felt for a long time has now been confirmed by a
comparative review with extensive benchmarks, of Macs and PCs.
Popular Mechanics Verdict: Apple.
Mac: In both the laptop and desktop showdowns, Apple's computers were the
winners. Oddly, the big difference didn't come in our user ratings, where we
expected the famously friendly Mac interface to shine. Our respondents liked the
look and feel of both operating systems but had a slight preference toward OS X.
In our speed trials, however, Leopard OS trounced Vista in all-important tasks
such as boot-up, shutdown and program-launch times. We even tested Vista on the
Macs using Apple's platform-switching Boot Camp software—and found that both
Apple computers ran Vista faster than our PCs did.
PC: Simply put, Vista proved to be a more sluggish operating system than
Leopard. Our PCs installed some software faster, but in general they were slower
in our time trials. Plus, both PCs showed weaker performance on third-party
benchmarks than the Macs. Our biggest surprise, however, was that PCs were not
the relative bargains we expected them to be. The Asus M51sr costs the same as a
MacBook, while the Gateway One actually costs $300 more than an iMac. That means
for the price of the Gateway you could buy an iMac, boost its hard drive to
match the Gateway's, purchase a copy of Vista to boot—and still save $100.

PUBLISHED: 24 Aug 2012 00:04:00 | UPDATED: 24 Aug 2012 06:59:32PUBLISHED: 24 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 24 Aug 2012Gina Rinehart . . . no buyers.
Ben Holgate, Sarah Thompson and Anthony Macdonald
Mining magnate Gina Rinehart on Thursday night failed to sell a third of her Fairfax Media shareholding after the stock fell 10 per cent following bleak guidance and a $2.8 billion writedown.
The trade of 4.99 per cent of shares on issue, if it had been successful, would have reduced her stake in the newspaper, radio and digital group from 14.99 per cent to 10 per cent.
Morgan Stanley pulled its block trade of 117.3 million shares in Fairfax, publisher of The Australian Financial Review, due to lack of demand. It is understood the trade was not underwritten.
It is believed Morgan Stanley could not find a buyer at its offer price of 50¢ a share, which was 1¢ below yesterday's closing price of 51¢. Sources said there were no institutional buyers above 45¢.
The shares were being offered on behalf of Mrs Rinehart, Fairfax's largest shareholder. The deal would have been worth $59 million.
Australia's richest person, who is estimated to be worth about $29 billion and has spent an estimated $285 million on Fairfax shares, emerged earlier this year with an 18.7 per cent stake in Fairfax after increasing her holding through on-market purchases via brokers Morgan Stanley and Bell Potter.
She has publicly criticised the board and, especially chairman Roger Corbett, for Fairfax's financial performance during her attempt to gain board representation.
Mrs Rinehart has been pushing for two board seats plus a third for independent director Jack Cowin, a long-time friend, who joined the Fairfax board last month.
But she has reached a stalemate with the board because she has not agreed to the charter of editorial independence and certain corporate governance issues.
Early last month, Mrs Rinehart reduced her stake to 14.99 per cent in an attempt to neutralise the issue of professional insurance for company directors and executives.
Professional insurance policies for directors and officers usually have an exclusion clause that does not protect them if a major shareholder with a stake of more than 15 per cent, who is also a board member, sues either the company or other directors.
However, it is understood the board rejected this olive branch, considering that she could buy more shares at any time.
It is unclear whether Mrs Rinehart's aborted sale last night was designed to eradicate the insurance issue entirely.
Fairfax yesterday reported a $2.7 billion net loss for the 2012 financial year after a $2.8 billion writedown, mostly on newspaper assets. However, underlying net profit was $205 million, which was down 28 per cent on 2011.
Chief executive Greg Hywood said revenue was down 10 per cent so far in the new financial year and he did not expect the weak advertising market to turn around until 2015.
Sources suggested private client broker John Pickering, who is employed in the Perth office of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, the bank's retail arm, helped to secure this attempted block trade. It was to have been executed by Morgan Stanley's institutional equities sales team.
Mr Pickering is said to have forged a relationship with Mrs Rinehart's private company, Hancock Prospecting, which owns the Fairfax shares, back in his days at Goldman Sachs JBWere, where he wrote options over the company's investment portfolio.

Taking Charge in the Bedroom
June 15, 2010
Sometimes you just want to be a little saucier than you might normally be when you're with your partner. No matter why you feel the need to be more commanding in the bedroom, you might want to show your husband or your boyfriend that you can be powerful and sexy – all at the same time. If you're new to being a little more dominating, it can help for you to begin with something simple in the bedroom – like a blindfold. Easy to use and simple to add to any intimate encounter, you might be well on your way to taking control and showing him just how enjoyable that can be.
The Right Blindfold
The best part of using a blindfold to control your partner is that the equipment is easy to find and simple to use. Everyone has something in their home which will work as a blindfold. You might want to look for handkerchiefs, silk scarves, and regular scarves first for the perfect blindfolds. Something that's soft to the touch, but long enough to tie behind their head is going to be the best fit for the bedroom. You can also find a number of blindfolds in sensual stores and these can be made of everything from leather to cotton and silky feeling materials. There is no right or wrong blindfold to choose, just the one that will help to block the sight of your partner and get their blood pumping.
Once The Lights are Out
When you're in the bedroom and you begin to get more aroused, it's a good idea to put the blindfold on him as soon as possible. This way, his senses are taken away as quickly as possible and he will become your slave, in a certain sense. Without his eyesight, he's not going to know what you're doing, but he's going to be thinking about every move you're making. He might jump and be even more turned on because he has no idea what's happening and can't open up his eyes and see what you might want to do next. You might want to tease his skin with feathers or with other silky items or you might want to walk around him in order to keep him slightly off balance as you kiss his ears and the rest of his body.
Taking Control and Seeing What Happens
Pushing him down onto the bed and making him put his own blindfold on is another way you can take charge in the bedroom. This will make him feel a little nervous about what happens next and it might be just the signal you need to release your inner wild child in the bedroom. You might want to push him down and then hold his wrists down as you begin to make out with him and you begin to tease him until he gets more turned on. You might also want to leave him in the bedroom by himself for a few moments so that his imagination begins to go wild with what you might be doing when you get back. And that's just the right tone to set – a tone of anticipation.
Taking away one of his senses is a great way to ensure that you are in control in the bedroom, even if you're smaller and less threatening than he might be. But the second you begin to take charge, your partner is going to be thrilled and excited to see what else you might do. And this is only the beginning of what taking charge in the bedroom really means.

My husband and I stayed in both a cabin and a room at the B&B. Both locations were amazing! Janice was an amazing hostess and made everyone feel like one big family. The rooms and cabin are clean, extremely comfortable, relaxing and exactly what you need to step away from the busy world for a little while and enjoy everything that Mother Nature has to offer. AMAZING breakfasts, hiking, cold dips in the flowing rivers, horses and pups meandering around the property, close enough to civilization but far enough away to forget about it all - what more can you ask for? We will be back again in the near future!

My husband and I spent five nights at Creekwalk Inn. It was the most incredible experience; the room, the inn itself, the beautiful grounds, the creative gourmet breakfast each morning, the pure beauty of your surroundings. Janice has put together all the details to make this inn what it is today. In addition, her advice and guidance on the trails - what the mountains and area has to offer is invaluable. We cannot say enough about our stay, other than simply stating; SPECTACULAR!

This place is absolutely amazing. We want to move there!! We enjoyed gourmet, organic, healthy breakfasts and bonded with the other guests in the house. Janice has five free graze horses. You walk out to go to your car and there are five horses right on the front lawn!! Its so amazing! We actually spent most of our time on the grounds surrounding the cabin. I mentioned that I always wanted to learn how to play the banjo, and Janice called a friend, and I got a lesson right there in the dining room. WE CANNOT STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH FUN WE HAD!!!! Also, I'm fanatical about cleanliness. I wont stay just anywhere. This place is very clean. I also have problems with my back and have a hard time sleeping when I travel. We ended up oversleeping because the beds were so comfy and soft. All in All, this place is amazing and the innkeeper, Janice....well lets just say we feel like we have extended family now, haha! Cant wait to go back next year!

This was our first visit to a B&B and we loved every aspect of Creekwalk Inn! Perfect location about 30 minutes from Gatlinburg, so you are away from all of the tourist congestion but not too far away to get out and enjoy all the activities. Minutes off of I-40 and from NC so Asheville and Cherokee are close enough for day trips. The owner Janice is so pleasant and makes every guest feel like family. She made 2 wonderful breakfasts for us while we were there for the weekend, both unique with fresh local ingredients, right down to the sour marmalade she was making when we checked in! It was almost hard to leave the patio after breakfast as it was so easy to sit and talk with her and the other guests. The patio overlooks the creek, so you get to enjoy the sounds of the water and the birds as you enjoy your breakfast. Every room is unique and very cozy. You can arrange to have dinner cooked for you at the Inn through an outside company. We didn't utilize that service but another couple did and they had nothing but excellent remarks. When you make your reservations be sure to ask about the dinner services! We definitely plan on returning to Creekwalk in the future!

I've returned many times to this quiet place in the country and ask for the Ramsey Cascade room with it's door out to the creekside, where I even once saw an otter swimming! Janice and Tifton go out of their way to accommodate their guests, and the breakfast they serve is outstanding.

We recently stayed in the Balsam Mountain room at this inn. The photos on the website do not accurately depict the room; the adjacent room has a bathroom that offers virtually no insulation against sound; therefore, we could literally hear every sound from the neighboring bathroom. In addition, we could hear the other guests using their in-room spa. It was quite uncomfortable. The room offered little in the way of toiletries and did not have a coffee machine or alarm clock in the room, as their website suggests. The room and bathroom were very crowded and outdated. The windows had old horizontal blinds on them and the windows were always covered in condensation, so we could not enjoy the view mentioned on their website. We paid $159 per night for this room and, although the breakfast was good and the packed lunches were a nice touch, we felt that the room was very overpriced. After seeing the room and facility in person, we would expect to pay $75 per night, at most, when compared to other facilities in the Smoky Mountains. We were never offered breakfast in our room, as the website suggests. When we requested a slight adjustment to a breakfast and lunch, the inn-keeper seemed to be very annoyed by the change (although she did make the changes). This is about a 35 to 40 minute drive from Gatlinburg and the main entrances to the Smoky Mountain National Park, so if you plan to spend a lot of time seeing the sights (besides hiking near this inn), plan accordingly. The parking was limited, gravel driveway has potholes, and we had to carry our luggage through long, wet grass. In addition, there is no outdoor lighting, making it difficult to navigate from the car to the inn. Not impressed.

Just returned from a fabulous get away at Creekwalk Inn and Cabins. So very memorable and full of pleasant surprises. Janice, Tifton and Kelsey are so warm and welcoming and consistently go above and beyond to ensure their guests are comfortable and having a pleasurable stay in lovely surroundings. The pie baking class taught by Janice was so much fun and gave all of the guests a chance to interact and share some laughs and recipes. Janice, Tifton and Kelsey make it all look so easy because they genuinely love what they do and definitely do it all so well. The breakfasts are outstanding and creative. Janice cooks right out there on the deck above the creek and chats with you as she piles her delicious creations on your plate. There's music and local fresh flowers on the table, a fire burning and the creek meandering below. If only every day could start like this. Brown bag picnic lunch surprises are provided for guests as they leave for a day of hiking in the beautiful Smokies and Janice and Tifton offer some great suggestions and a trail map for hikes. We stayed at the cabins which were a distance away but were secluded and charming with unusual rhodendron beds. The rooms are the Inn are lovely also. Private dinner for 2, 7 course dinner by Kelsey was exceptional. Can we give this entire stay 10 stars? Kevin and Janet M. Virginia

Cabin avec un lit accessible par une échelle; le jacuzzi de la baignoire remuait des particules noires et la baignoire fuyait à l'étage en dessous. La climatisation est installée juste derrière la tête de lit (impossible de la faire marcher pendant la nuit). Le check-in oblige à appeler (à nos frais, depuis un portable français) car il n'y a personne à la réception... etc. Petit déjeuner excellent et hôtesse charmante par ailleurs.

Our stay at the Creekwalk Inn was wonderful! Janice and Tifton were great hosts and provided good advice as to what to see and do in the area. Kelsey cooked gourmet breakfasts that were out of this world!! To our surprise, we were also provided with hearty lunches to take along on our hikes in the Great Smokey Mountains.. If you are looking for a place to reconnect with nature, seek peace and quiet, then this is definitely the B&B to stay. We hope to return some day! J&J Fallston, MD

Hubbly Bubbly, he also goes by Sam, and I cannot recommend a place MORE highly than this wonderful bed and breakfast. We were blessed to stay in a cozy cabin titled "Mountain Mint" and talk about spice! :) We walked into 2 beautiful place settings set with champagne glasses (or sparkling natural apple cider), honeymoon robes and an ambiance of pure relaxation and romance. The cabins are not too far from the Inn and worth every penny. We loved the outdoor porch swing and hot tub and our heart-shaped jet bath indoors. The fireplace was especially nice this time of year. Janice and Tipton are two laid back and PRESENT individuals. No crazed hustle and bustle, just complete charm. Breakfast was 5 courses of divine! From crepe like pancakes with pure maple syrup to eggs, and fresh fruits/juices, to potatoes, sweet rolls with fresh cinnamon, coffee, bacon, no stone left unturned in delicious fare and charming service. The love they put into this haven is evident from the minute you step out of the car! The pack lunch was also welcomed with joy as we took a hike down the River Path Way and saw and heard the rush of running water. Our stay came complete with sunshine, warmth and a nice Southern Thunderstorm and was topped off on our day of departure with the chill and beauty of falling snow If you love the mountains and the beauty of the rustic countryside coupled with a COUPLE of people who are there to make your stay better than you dreamed, don't walk, run as fast as you can to Creekside Inn & Cabins!

Adobe has been ramping up its iOS support in recent times. One such example is new app, Adobe Collage, offering the ability to form "creative moodboards". It's a concept that should be ideal for creative types and those in need of some visual inspiration but may be rather off-putting for those on a budget.
Immediately, Adobe Collage is very simple to use. Sample projects are available to guide the way but it's all pretty straight forward to figure out. A plus sign leads to creating a new project then it's a matter of adding images, videos or text to the creation. Rotating such images is a matter of pinching and manipulating with fingers, immediately intuitive and simple to master. Plenty of options are available for importing imagery with iOS camera roll, Google, Flickr, WebClip, YouTube all at the user's disposal. There's also the ability to use Adobe's Creative Cloud functionality, a new place for cloud storage that works well in conjunction with other Adobe apps. Google is a particularly useful tool to have available as it means users can input a Google image search, then import images directly and quickly.
While options for importing are pretty varied, editing them is a little limited. Sure, you can resize and reposition them but brush tools are very basic. Text entry is also limited and somewhat awkward with some unnecessary multiple taps required to get things working. In a work environment, it might be handy to devise ideas but it won't be long until the user wants to implement something that's not possible.
Priced at under $3, none of this would feel so bad. Adobe Collage does offer some very convenient features and it's very easy to use. Another problem looms though, it's priced at $9.99, the kind of price one would expect an essential tool for. It's just not quite there. Layering is nearly non-existent, other than bringing segments to the front or pushing to the back. The limited brush tools are easily eclipsed by a multitude of other creative apps. Ultimately, it's the Adobe name that makes us take note of Collage but it's not quite enough to make up for that hefty price tag.

Inmates Greet Sandusky With A Rendition Of "The Wall"
(BusinessInsider) -- Convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky had a surprise waiting for him when he was sent to jail the first time, reports Andrew Strickler of The Daily. As soon as the lights went out at night, Sandusky's fellow inmates at the Centre County Correctional Facility serenaded him with a chorus from Pink Floyd's "The Wall": "Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!" Similar humiliations are expected to continue now that Sandusky is back in jail having been convicted of the crimes. Jerry Sandusky is currently on suicide watch. He'll be sentenced in 90 days.
God love inmates. For all the robbing and murdering and raping they do, we can all still agree that pedophiles are scum. The best part is I bet Sandusky loved this. He was probably like "Oh fuck yea! These guys love me! Take that, McQueary!" as he wailed away on his air guitar. Wouldn't put it past him for a second. Anyone who went home the night before the verdict and didn't kill themselves is plenty delusional enough to think this was a warm welcoming. Dude brushed his teeth, got in bed and thought "phew. Tomorrow I'll be found innocent and this will all go away." Now he starts considering suicide? Few months late on that one, JerBear. Just another brick in the wall now. Remember, you can't have any pudding unless you eat your meat.
PS – obviously Sandusky isn't gonna be in Gen Pop so he'll probably never get raped or anything. But he'll spend his entire life in solitary. That's worse than rape, right? Just sitting in a room by yourself for like a decade? I'm pretty positive I'd rather get fucked in the ass.

Giant 655-pound leatherback turtle rescued and released (+video)
A huge 7-foot-long leatherback sea turtle was treated for dehydration and released off Cape Cod. Meanwhile, a pregnant hawksbill sea turtle was rescued in the US Virgin Islands, and has since laid 55 eggs.
Harwichport, Mass., and Marathon, Fla.
The New England Aquarium in Boston say it's released a 7-foot-long (2.1-meter-long), 655-pound (297-kilogram) leatherback sea turtle back into waters off Cape Cod after it was treated for dehydration, trauma, and shock.
The turtle was found stranded near the tip of the Cape Thursday. Experts at the aquarium say the male turtle was underweight (adult males typically weigh 1,000 pounds) and lethargic, and a large portion of its left front flipper was missing because of some kind of trauma.
Veterinarians treated it, and aquarium officials say the turtle regained its strength, and they released it off Harwichport on Saturday.
RECOMMENDED: Are you scientifically literate? Take the quiz
Leatherback sea turtles are endangered and the largest reptile in the world. Experts treated the turtle using information obtained from research on leatherbacks that were briefly captured over the past few summers off Cape Cod.
Leatherbacks migrate up the East Coast each June to feed on abundant sea jellies (jellyfish) in Massachusetts waters, particularly around the Cape and the Islands. They will migrate south for the winter in September and October, according to the New England Aquarium.
Hawksbill sea turtled airlifted from Virgin Islands
In other turtle rescue news, a female hawksbill sea turtle airlifted from the U.S. Virgin Islands to the Florida Keys-based Turtle Hospital was recovering Saturday and producing eggs, officials said.

Says 'we're all human'. This argument on MSNBC by our Congresstool Jim Moran completely disregards the fact that while President Obama made the assertion that 'if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan' over, and over, and over again (including one week prior to the ObamaCare launch) he and his Administration knew all along that the statement was 150% FALSE.
Reminder, Senator Mark Warner and his fellow Democrats voted for millions of Americans to lose their health insurance.
Lying is WRONG but is especially wrong when the President of the United States does it regardless of party affiliation.
Something tells me if there was a Republican in the White House, Jim Moran would be singing a different tune.

'Snow White and the Huntsman' is definitely proving that it stands far apart from the other Snow White movie 'Mirror Mirror' and box office shouldn't be affected by it being the second one out of the gate.
There's actually room at the theaters for two movies based on the same subject, but unlike many other films that follow the same lines, Rupert Sanders 'Snow White and the Huntsman' differs drastically from the Relativity Media 'Mirror Mirror' with Julia Roberts. The two films couldn't be more different, and many people who wouldn't normally go to see a Snow White movie will be heading to see Charlize Theron pull off a very nasty evil queen.
Along with the latest slew of new images, you can check out the new trailer for 'Snow White and the Huntsman' below and a very sweet extended clip which really should win over anyone with doubts that this Snow White film will be…well what you would expect of a Snow White film. Tarsem Singh's 'Mirror Mirror' seems like it should be a fun family friendly type film that should do well on blu-ray/dvd. Naturally, we'll go to the press screening of it, but I'm just all out looking forward to the 'Huntsman' one though.
The visuals alone are quite stunning, and while not a big Kristen Stewart fan, she's got enough supporting cast with Theron and Chris Hemsworth (plus those dwarves) to overlook her less than stellar acting ability. As you'll see in the trailer and clip, it's got that 'Lord Of the Rings' grandeur and feel, plus those battle scenes look pure kickass fun. 'Huntsman' also gives a positive message to girls that inner beauty (like Kristen Stewart) can easily outweigh what appears to be pure surface beauty (like Charlize Theron looking very hot dipped in either milk or some white chocolate). Outer beauty fades real quick as we'll see in the film.
[callout title=Snow White and the Huntsman Movie Synopsis]In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) who was dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White's beauty and power.
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Ian McShane, Nick Frost, Toby Jones, Ray Winstone, Dave Legeno, Edgar Wright, Lily Cole, Stephen Graham, Bob Hoskins, Eddie Marsan

The Necessities of Binary Picks Pricing
Realizing the binary choices pricing is one superior way to find out the dynamics of binary options shopping for and offering. Binary choices investing penny stocks is composed of a range of components such as an expiration time or maturity, strike price tag, and an derivative protection, instrument, commodity, or unit selling value. cedar finance In binary options buying and marketing, selection contracts are marketed up front for a top rated high quality cost. In addition, there are also the cell phone and set prospects that forex news serves has an crucial work in binary opportunities pricing.
An particular person factor that you have to know about binary picks pricing is that it has a fixed payout speed. trade rush This is what aids make binary possibilities buying and selling distinctive from vanilla choices. For instance, if you get a phone alternative on the movements of a certain instrument, you forex trading can generate up to 70% of your investment with a binary choices arrangement, even if the promoting cost of the underlying instrument is just .0001 close to the strike etfs price. Though the earnings that you can get from a vanilla solution is a quite possibly limitless variable quantity, it is nonetheless dependent on to what extent the underlying options trading instrument clears the strike marketing value. This implies that in binary picks investing, any expense, even these small ones, has a opportunity to make a pretty larger profit constantly. The fastened payout scheme also implies that the pitfalls will be computable and a ton additional bearable.
In purchase to totally realize the dynamics of binary alternatives forex software pricing, the following is a hypothetical circumstance in level. A binary prospects agreement X features a strike selling selling price of $fifty, an expiration time of 4pm, and a contract binary options trading dimension of $one hundred.
The trader has two choices feel that the asset will get to the strike cost tag of $50 prior to 4pm and get get in touch with option forex traders contracts, or think or else and acquire place alternative contracts. In this scenario in level, the trader purchases 10 simply call choices contracts for $thirty each, getting a total forex traders charge of $300. This will be the full quantity of chance for this trade due to the fact that would be all the funds that the trader can potentially shed. Even forex market so, if by the deal expires and the worth of the asset is about $fifty, then the trader earns $one,000, minus the cost of the contracts which is forex charts $300. The investor then acquires a somme acquire of $700.
Even so, hold in mind that binary selections pricing is impacted by time dynamics as really nicely. This implies that as the price of the asset goes nearer into the bucks as it approaches the expiration day, the value of the deal also goes nearer to the contract dimension as correctly.

Understanding Childhood Issues & Highlighting Them
Interactive Advertising and Children: Issues and Implications, 2005
Aug 01, 2005
Download file: media_brief_2005.pdf
Interactive technology has the potential to revolutionize how children watch television. With a simple click of the remote control, childrenwill go from passive viewers to active participants, having the potential to explore subjects in detail, ask experts questions and play games. Yet interactive technology also opens the door to intrusive advertising practices, similar to those currently used on the Internet. As television transitions from analog to digital, questions arise regarding how interactive advertising will be used to market to children and how young viewers will be affected. This brief explores these questions and offers recommendations to protect children in a new age of interactive advertising.

Since starting filmmaking stuff, I've noticed an increase in the amount of companies promoting new filmmaking technologies that allow filmmakers to stream their independent movies. While many of these companies have a cool concept, the truth is, I think many of these streaming solutions are a waste of time.
Why? Because most streaming solutions do NOTHING to assist filmmakers in sourcing an audience. Think about it: So what if you can stream from your website and charge your visitors a nickle per view? How many people are coming to your website? Where do you (and most people) shop for movies online?
I know where I shop for movies online. I shop at NetFlix, Hulu, Amazon and occasionally iTunes. I don't go looking for random weird movies on random weird websites. And even if I did, the last thing I would do is enter my credit card into some weird website.
Maybe I'm wrong. Where do you buy your movies online? Are you seeking movie distribution?

So last week at our weekly RA staff meeting, I was bestowed with the honors of being RA of the Week and RA of the Month. So, basically, this makes me RA of the universe. To celebrate my new reign, I decided to get snacks and drinks for my residents and held an impromptu event in my room.
Since I'm now royalty, I decided to treat myself to caviar from Whole Foods. I was expecting it to taste bitter and terrible but it was actually quite delicious. So I spent all Friday night doing homework, listening to Lana Del Rey, and eating caviar. If that's not luxurious, I don't know what is.

How the Government Is Hurting the Economy
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Americans keep hoping for a robust recovery -- one that delivers better paying jobs and decent returns on retirement savings.
But changes in technology and the economy may mean that never happens, and government efforts to improve conditions often multiply the misery.
In 1908, Henry Ford had a great idea -- the Model T -- and a novel understanding of mass production, but he needed huge amounts of capital to build factories, dealers to sell and service mass-produced cars, and a large corps of managers and assembly workers.
Greenberg: No Surprise in Potbelly's Flop
Ford CEO Mark Fields Zips Investors Past GM to a Near-Term Buy Family Dollar's Lost Way Leads Levine Into Hands of Peltz, Icahn His success inspired competitors and whole new industries making everything from agricultural implements to zippers. For three generations, those created enormous demand for capital and jobs for millions in manufacturing and supporting services. In the closing decades of the 20th century, rapidly advancing digital technologies helped those industries use factories more efficiently and slash the numbers of managers and assembly workers. Most digital companies never had quite the same appetite for capital and workers. Google (GOOG) was founded with $100,000 in seed capital in 1998, and $25 million in funding a year later. Within five years, its search engine was available to virtually every computer user around the world, and its brand was more ubiquitous than Coca-Cola''s (KO). Google's shares outstanding are worth about $370 billion -- more than five times Ford's (F), and it has achieved that remarkable wealth creation on a relatively small initial investment. It has about 50,000 high-skilled employees -- less than one-fourth of the Ford workforce, which has been significantly downsized in recent decades.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Household water security is a basic requirement of life. More than being simple basic needs, water and sanitation services are recognized as crucial elements that otherwise would put other development investments and public health at risk. Asia and the Pacific as a whole is an early achiever for halving the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water, but not however, sanitation. Most of the Asia-Pacific countries will not come close to achieve the MDG target on access to improved sanitation.
The fact that the Asia-Pacific region hosts both the most and least efficient economies in conducting international trade transactions is generally well-known. However, information on the actual implementation of specific trade facilitation reforms in the Asia-Pacific developing economies is generally lacking.
A listing of ESCAP meeting papers and official documents produced by substantive divisions in the year 2012. Wherever possible, in the Document Symbol Index, the document symbols link directly to the Official Document System of the United Nations (ODS).
The Asia-Pacific region has been battered in recent years by a relentless series of shocks. Some have been related to natural disasters, such as earthquakes or droughts or floods. Others, such as the 2008 financial crisis, have been caused by convulsions in global markets. Still others, such as rocketing food and energy prices, have been the result of a complex combination of shocks. The traditional approach has been to consider such events individually. This is increasingly unrealistic.
Remarkable growth and structural transformation in a number of developing Asian countries in the period after World War II have earned them the reputation for being "models" of successful development. Among the factors that contributed to their success were macroeconomic and regulatory policies that permitted them to finance that transformation without experiencing high inflation or balance of payments difficulties and ensure that growth was accompanied by human development advance.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been a well-known concept for some time though the interpretation of this concept differs among countries, companies and stakeholders. In many cases, CSR has been abused as a marketing ploy, masking unsustainable practices of companies, in others it has simply constituted a charity event, again, often to mask the negative impacts of companies' operations. However, the winds of change are blowing, in particular in the wake of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20).
The Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific is the oldest and most comprehensive annual review of economic and social development in Asia and the Pacific. This flagship publication of ESCAP outlines policies to sustain dynamic growth and to make it inclusive such as boosting internal demand, enhancing connectivity to create a seamless and region-wide market, and building productive capacities in the least developed countries.
The Status of the Water-Food-Energy Security Nexus in Asia and the Pacific region
Governments of countries and areas in the ESCAP region gathered in Bangkok, Thailand from 10 to 12 September 2012 for the Asia-Pacific Intergovernmental Meeting on the Second Review and Appraisal of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing.
Natural resources sectors such as mining, oil, gas, hydro, and forestry plantations are an integral component of most developing economies in the Asia-Pacific region, thereby making them attractive investment sectors for both transnational corporations (TNCs) and state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Asia Pacific least developed countries attracted less than 1% of FDI inflows to the region, indicating strong growth potential.

Specialist colloidal silver manufacturers since 2001
Best Quality & Value from the UKs No.1 Supplier
You Can't Buy Better.........You Can Pay More!
Superior Quality - Best Value Anywhere - Fast Delivery
First Class Delivery is included for all UK mainland orders!
Why Are We Better?
Our colloidal silver has been tested independently and was found to contain the correct levels of silver and nothing else.
We have invested several thousand pounds on a commercial distiller and sophisticated measuring equipment for accurately measuring silver content.
As the UKs no.1 supplier we are able to produce over 100 litres per day in 25 litre batches. Larger batches means it is more stable and consistant in quality.
We use our own design, purpose built generators, in our purpose built manufacturing facility where we manufacture nothing but colloidal silver. We don't keep stock on the shelf. We have a high turnover of CS and it is made fresh every day as required.
Because we make our own distilled water we have total control over the whole of the manufacturing process from the outset. We can also produce at less cost so that we can keep prices low without compromising quality.
Bulk/Trade enquiries welcome
Huge Discounts Available
Most of the colloidal silver offered for sale in the UK is of very poor quality, with silver content which can be nowhere near what is claimed. The reason is that most sellers are one man working from home using the cheap home generators and cheap TDS meters to measure the strength.
These small home generators are not designed to produce more than one litre a day and the quality is highly questionable. As far as we are aware, every other colloidal silver supplier uses a TDS meter to try and measure the silver content. TDS meters are basically useless for measuring the strength of colloidal silver. TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids. To start with, all colloidal silver produced in the UK is approx. 80% ionic and 20% particulate. TDS meters will not measure the undissolved particulate content, so the reading is at least 20% out. It gets worse though. TDS meters are calibrated using a salt water solution. Since salt water is a much better electrical conductor of electricity than silver in distilled water, and TDS meters work by measuring electrical conductivity and converting this to ppm, the reading shown for silver is completely false and is usually out by about 50%. Add to this the fact that electrical resistance changes with temperature, exactly the same sample would get readings which differ by up to 30% over a temperature range of 20 degrees.
The only way to accurately measure silver content is by using a spectrophotometer or an ion specific electrode. The very high cost of this equipment prohibits smaller companies from investing in it.
We pride ourselves in being able to produce the best colloidal silver at the best price in the UK.
This is borne out by the fact that we have many repeat customers.
We supply regularly to vets, poultry keepers, boat owners for disinfecting water tanks, pigeon clubs, equine stores etc.
Usually same day despatch on all orders received before 2pm.
All orders are sent by Royal Mail First Class for next day delivery.
Proof of postage is obtained for every order.

TLA Releasing is a US film distribution company owned by TLA Entertainment Group. In March 2011, a new LLC was formed for the operation.[1] Its primary output is LGBT-related films from all over the world under the "TLA Releasing" label, as well as horror films under the label "Danger After Dark". Since 2000, they have released over 200 films on DVD and various VOD platforms.
In 2005, they opened a branch in the UK. In June 2011, they announced "TLA Select", a line of Blu-rays of TLA Releasing's most popular films, including Latter Days, Another Gay Movie and Another Gay Sequel, Make the Yuletide Gay, and Boy Culture.[2]
In July 2011, the UK division lost its entire inventory of DVDs when rioters in London burnt down a Sony warehouse.[3] Sony rapidly worked to replenish the lost stock.

Daugherty: Had we had any inkling that they would actually let the Shah into the United States, I don't think many of us would have gone to Tehran in the first place. I certainly wouldn't have. Before I went over, a senior officer told me, "The only real danger is if they let the Shah in, but nobody is that stupid." Golacinski: I sometimes wish I could go back and relive those first few days or that first month, because I don't remember much of it. I do remember, though, that in all of the stopovers on the way home, I had to be the last one on the airplane. I just wanted to make sure everybody was there. I don't know how to explain it to you. I think maybe I was just trying to make myself feel better about something.
Charles Scott
Head of military-liaison section, U.S. embassy
While we were hostages, my cellmate and I prayed that Uncle Sam wouldn't sell us out to get us released. Of course he did sell us out.
Laingen: The Algiers Accords, the document Warren Christopher signed, indemnifies the Iranian government against lawsuits launched by the hostages.
Christopher: We felt that under the circumstances, the highest value was to get the hostages out alive, so this did not seem to us to be a breaking point in the negotiations.
Rosen: I would rather have stayed longer. Don't do me a favor by getting me out and telling me that I don't have a right to sue.
Brzezinski: It certainly was not a very good bargain. All I can say is that I don't blame [them] for being mad.
Golacinski: One of the most important provisions of the accords is that the U.S. and Iran agreed not to meddle in each other's internal affairs.
Daugherty: That provision has been violated many times, overtly and covertly. The Algiers Accords are meaningless at this point. Hillary, as a senator, was on board with holding the Iranians accountable, but we've seen absolutely no indication that she cares now. I don't know if Obama gives a crap about us.
Scott: A clear violation of international law took place, and there was nothing done about it against the country that committed the crime. That was the beginning, the emboldening, of radical Islamic terrorism.

Terrorism after '79 exploded for one reason: The regime had $27 billion in oil revenues, and they spent it on terrorism. Everywhere you went—Hezbollah here, the Taliban there, Arafat. The Iranians funded everybody.
Reza Pahlavi
The Shah's son
The regime's raison d'être is to establish a nuclear hegemony and impose its ideology on the world. Which will happen first: Will we bring democracy to our homeland, or will the regime become nuclear-capable? The consequences of the embassy takeover were disastrous. We were hoping to get ahead, to gain freedom, and instead we lost everything and went back to the Dark Ages.
Laingen: The people who held us have to live with their pain. I know they feel it, because now several of them have accepted that what they did was contrary to Iran's own objectives. Indeed, several of them are now in the show trials Ahmadinejad is putting on.
David Aaron
Deputy national-security adviser
There's a battle in Iran now between... It's not even clear who. There are different coalitions every day; everyone's baffled. But the government is doing the same thing. They're using the crisis to get rid of anybody with a liberal orientation.
Hodding Carter
State Department spokesman
Underneath the clamping down, the pot is boiling at a level we haven't seen since the revolution.
Leslie Gelb
Assistant secretary of state for politico-military affairs
I haven't seen any improvement under Obama except in one respect, which is that there is a real desire to engage with them. But you need a strategy to go with that desire, and we don't have that strategy.
Banisadr: It would be great if Mrs. Clinton would do us a favor and not show us that she is for the green movement [Iran's reform movement]. She must stay neutral, not take sides. Even today, in the show trials, they use the United States as an excuse to indict people for trying to start another revolution. Mr. Obama shouldn't use sanctions or threats or military attacks against Iran. The mullahs will say, "If it wasn't for the sanctions, your lives would be better."
Bill Beeman
Author, 'The "Great Satan" vs. the "Mad Mullahs" '
Frankly, I think Iran is going to give up on Europe and the United States. They've got all these economic sanctions; they're being demonized for their perfectly legitimate right to establish nuclear power. They're sick of it. And they have very good friends in China and India and Russia.
Gelb: We're going to give the North Koreans two light-water reactors? We make a deal with India to exempt their military nuclear plants from international inspection? We give billions of dollars to Pakistan, which committed all the sins we're accusing Iran of—and they're a more volatile and dangerous country? Iran is entitled by treaty to have a uranium-enrichment program. We can't just be total schmucks about this.
Pahlavi: How come most Iranians who left, including critics of my father, ended up in the U.S.? They didn't go to Havana. They didn't go to Pyongyang. They went to New York or L.A.
Gelb: There are a huge percentage of Iranians who are pro-American. We saw that after September 11, when they spontaneously came into the streets. It's the biggest love-hate relationship we have with any country in the world.
