How economies work – and don't
a POV that Spain's president might try. A few blocks from my room in Madrid at a book fair to promote literacy, Sr Zapatero, while giving autographs and high fives to kids, said books are very expensive and he'd see about getting the value added tax on them cut down to zero. (El Pais, June 4; see, politicians can grasp geo-logic.) But why do we raise the cost of any useful product? Why not tax useless products? Even more basic: is being better than a costly tax good enough? Our favorite replacement for any tax is no tax: instead, run government like a business and charge full market value for the permits it issues, such as everything from corporate charters to emission allowances to resource leases. These pieces of paper are immensely valuable, yet now our steward, the state, gives them away for nearly free, absolutely free in some cases. Government is sitting on its own assets and needs merely to cash in by doing what any rational entity in the economy does – negotiate the best deal. Then with this profit, rather than fund more waste, pay the stakeholders, we citizenry, a dividend. Thereby geonomics gets rid of two huge problems. It replaces taxes with full-value fees and replaces subsidies for special interests with a Citizens Dividend for people in general. Neither left nor right, this reform is what both nature lovers and liberty lovers need to promote, right now.
a study of a phenomenon David Ricardo noted going on two centuries ago. When wine grapes rise to $10,000 a ton from the very best land (last year, cabernet sauvignon commanded an average of $4,021 a ton in the Napa Valley), then vineyard prices soar from $18,000 an acre in the 1980′s to $100,000 an acre five years ago and now for a top pedigree up to $300,000 an acre (The New York Times, April 9, via Wyn Achenbaum). Pricey land does not make wine pricey; spendy wine makes land spendy. While vintners make their wine tasty, nature and society in general – not any lone owner – make land desireable. Steve Kerch of CBS's MarketWatch (April 5) notes that much of what a home sells for on the open market is a reflection of intangible factors such as what school district the house sits in. The price the builder has to pay for the land also tends to be driven by the same intangibles. Because the value of land comes from society, and because one's use excludes the rest of society, each user owes all others compensation, and is owed compensation by everyone else. Sharing land's value, instead of taxing one's efforts, is the policy of geonomics.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
not exactly Georgism, the Single Tax on land value proposed by Henry George. He did, tho', inspire most of the real-world implementations of the land tax that some jurisdictions enjoy today, and modern thinkers to craft geonomics. While his name and our remedy both begin with "geo" since both words refer to "Earth", the two have their differences. (a) George pegs land monopoly as the fundamental flaw while geonomics faults Rent retention. (b) To fix the flaw, George was content to use a tax, while geonomics jettisons them in favor of price-like fees. (c) George focused on the taking while geonomics headlines the sharing. George envisioned an enlightened state judiciously spending the collected Rent while geonomics would turn the lion's share over to the citizens via a dividend. (d) And George, as was everyone in his era, was pro-growth while geonomics sees economies as alive, growing, maturing, and stabilizing. Despite these differences, George should be recognized as great an economist as Euclid was a geometrician.
a way to connect the dots. Making the cyber rounds is "The Cavernous Divide" by Scott Klinger, from AlterNet (posted March 21): "As the number of billionaires in the world expands, so does the number of those in poverty." Duh. The yawning income gap is not news. Nearly every issue of our quarterly digest carries a similar quote. Yet the connection was worked out long ago by one of America's greatest thinkers, Henry George, who labeled his masterpiece, Progress and Poverty. Techno- and socio-advances always enrich few and impoverish many. Yet progress also pushes up location values – the geonomic insight (is Silicon Valley cheaper now or more expensive?). Instead of taxing income, sales, or buildings, society could collect those values of sites, resources, EM spectrum, and ecosystem services via fees and dues, which would lower the income ceiling, and instead of lavishing corporate welfare, pay out the recovered revenue via dividends, which would jack up the income floor. Dots connected.
shaped by reality. In the 1980′s, the Swedish government doubled its stock transfer tax. Tax receipts, however, rose only 15%, since traders simply fled to London exchanges. Fearing a further exodus, the Swedish government quickly rescinded the tax altogether. (The New York Times, April 20) That willingness to tax anything leads us astray. Pushing us astray is that unwillingness to pay what we owe: rent for land, our common heritage. Assuming land value is up for grabs, we speculate. We cap the property tax on both land and buildings and the rate at which assessments can go up; while real market values rise quicker, assessments can never catch up. Our stewards, the Bureau of Land Management, routinely sell and lease sites below market value, often to insiders, says the Government Accounting Office. Once we grasp that rent is ours to share, we'll collect it all, rather than let it enrich a few, and quit taxing earnings, which do belong to the individual earner. That shift is geonomic policy.
the Great Green Tax Shift maxed out" Economically, taxing pollution and depletion does reduce pollutants and extracts – and thus the tax base; plus such taxes are regressive, requiring a safety net. On the other hand, collecting site rent is progressive and generates a revenue surplus payable as a dividend to residents, which can serve as the safety net. Environmentally, taxes on waste and extraction do not drive efficient use of land, as does getting site rent. Better settlement patterns do reduce extraction upstream and pollution downstream. Politically, green fees have less impact if applied locally; local is where grassroots movements have more impact. Yet getting rent usually entails shifting the property tax (or charging user fees), the province of local jurisdictions; both mayors and city voters have been known to adopt a site-value tax. Ethically, putting into practice "tax bads, not goods" skirts the issue of sharing Mother Earth which collecting rent confronts head on. Since nothing is fixed until it's fixed right, ultimately, greens must lead humanity into geotopia where we all share the worth of Mother Earth.
a scientific look at how we divvy up the work and the wealth, how some of us end up with too much or too little effort or reward. That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages. And it's partly due to how a society's elite runs government around like water boys, dishing out subsidies and tax breaks. While geonomists look political reality right in the eye, without blinking, conventional economists flinch. When Paul Volcker, ex-chief of the Federal Reserve, moved on to a cushy professorship at Princeton cum book contract, the crush of deadlines bore down. So Volcker asked a junior associate to help with the book. The guy refused, explaining that giving serious consideration to policy would ruin his academic career. The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!

more transformation than reform; it's a step ahead. Harvard economics students this year did petition to change the curriculum, in the wake of the English who caught the dissension from across The Channel. French reformers, who fault conventional economics for conjuring mathematical models of little empirical relevance and being closed to critical and reflective thought, reject this "autism" – or detachment from reality – and dub their offering "post-autistic economics". Not a bad name, but again, academics define themselves by what they're not, not by what they are, unlike geonomists. We track rent – the money we spend on the nature we use – and watch it pull all the other economic indicators in its wake. We see economies as part of the ecosystem, similarly following natural patterns and able to self-regulate more so than allowed, once we quit distorting prices. To align people and planet, we'd replace taxes and subsidies with recovering and sharing rents.

Stayed 2 nights in a queen bed room looking down on the pool.
I'd agree with another reviewer on signage: I was unaware I could avoid stairs at front entrance by seeking an elevator in back, next to pricey business centre. I did see a word sign, but still wasn't sure there was an elevator in behind - past the closed lower lounge.
Teresa checked me in early. Very personable. No king bed available immediately, so she offered a queen bed room. Perfect. Two days later, she was especially helpful on my checkout as well (providing access to the fitness after my early checkout)
Lobby is a wow. Really elegant. Includes a lobby bar, a large sitting area, and restaurant at the back. You can print boarding passes for free at business centre or at a computer lobby level.
Room hallways have great wall colors, photoart with lighting, bold carpeting. My room was somewhat compact, but had everything I needed. Long, bright bathroom. Workdesk, safe in closet, clock radio with charger for my iPhone. Although you can't set a temperature with the air conditioner, it worked fine. Not much natural light, but quality light fixtures. Two telephones.
I wasn't that impressed with 5th floor pool - with unusual shape and large seating area - but fitness centre had cardio machines with TVs built-in. Three ellipticals, a bike and reclined bike, at least 2 treadmills, and a weight station that was beyond my comprehension. There's also more weights by the change rooms. Apples, newspapers, and chilled cloths are all part of the experience. Fitness centre is 24 hours with your room access card, although pool closes at 10pm.
Joe at lobby bar was kind, personable, and attentive. It's clear that he moves to get his work done. Had a great chicken sandwich - best in a long time - at the bar.
Luggage check was slow - both in taking my luggage (I waited over 5 mins for someone to show) and retrieval. Front desk eventually called for someone to take my luggage.
This hotel is attached to shopping mall, transit station, food court, casino. Certainly not cheap; great experience overall.

30 Mar 2010
On 23 March 2010 looking for a looped walk over the three tops of Mullaghash, Barnes Top and Knockanbane Mountain we started at an open yard with an old public house (closed!) and other outbuildings, beside the roadside at Inchinagh
. In view of a number of carts and other farm machinery I was unsure about parking there but this doubt was quickly dispelled by the sheep farmer who owned the property and who readily invited us to park. Indeed in discussion with him he told us that he also owned the land on Knockanbane Mt. and had no problem with us walking there as long as we made sure to close any gates. Initially like others who have commented on this hill we walked NE along the road to an old farm lane on the right signed for Ballydonegan Sweat House where we turned right and walked down to a wooden bridge on the left. We crossed this bridge (which starts the short walk to the Sweat House) and walked around the field to another bridge which we also crossed . A sign board about the Sweat House is at the top left corner of the field. We went through a gate at the top right and then left down to and across a stream before a short walk up to a fence. We then turned right and followed the fence along to its high point on the NW shoulder of Mullaghash where we turned left across the fence and then made our way directly to the top of the hill. The climb was very typical of many hills in the Sperrins gradual but long, extending upwards on a good walking surface for about 1.3k crossing a number of false tops on the way. From the summit area we had views N to Inishowen and Slieve Snaght, to Binevenagh and Ben Braddagh to the East and the full splendour of the High Sperrins Ridge to the S. While there is discussion in other comments about the top of this hill possibly being one of the large rocks on or near the flatish summit area I favour a point on the heathery/peaty top consistent with the MV Grid Reference
. However, as is so common in these hills, one could be going around in circles arguing about which tuft of heather/peat is actually the high point! From the top we picked up a fence going S down to the coll with Barnes Top about 1k below. At the coll, had we not opted to climb Barnes Top, we could have walked SW to pick up a track at
which we could have followed around the bulk of Mullaghash back down to the road and our start point.

I started this walk off the Moneyeany to Feeny B40, at
take the concrete farm lane, this is overgrown in places. There is room to park just after a cattle grid or further along as the track forks. At the fork go right and drop down to a picturesque ford (
) across the Owenbeg river, beside a splash of purple from a stand of foxgloves. I met some impressively horned sheep here who seemed to have as impressive an attitude as they stood thier ground and stared me out, while i hurried on with head bowed. The river is crossed again by a bridge of worringly decaying sleepers and tin sheets, yes i did test it out gingerly but am sure it has held far greater weight than mine. The track climbs alongside the river as it drops, with the ever present sound of water heightened by a series of small waterfalls. At a place you feel appropriate drop down and cross the river, maybe stopping as i did to take in the pools of water, rocks and overhanging trees - the word beautiful comes to my mind.
Cross a fence and climb over mature ground which is quite arduous but was a least dry. Views to the N bring the jutting point of Benbradagh and further still to the steep steps of Binevenaghs cliff face. Nearer to the top there is a change to shorter vegeatation and random boulders of all sizes. The top is crossed by a fenceline (N-S) and again has more mature ground underfoot, being reached in under one hour. Due to its profile and slightly isolated position from the surrounding hills there is an impressive perspective far and wide. The already mentioned N views extend to Inishowen and the height of Slieve Snaght, down the length of the Derryveagh mtns with all the distintive tops and on to the Bluestacks as come S. This also brings the vision of the big central Sperrin hills from Mullaghmore all the way to Mullaghcarbatagh.
I found a large boulder on which to perch and eat lunch (just as the fence drops down to the S) and survey the majesty of what was before me as the N breeze created clouds out of the blue sky which drifted thier shadows up and over the Sperrins to the S. An easy drop of 15 mins along the fence brings the birthing place of a couple of rivers amid a sea of grass. This was wet even after the dry weather of so many weeks. A left turn would follow the Owenbeg river back to the points already described or an excess of energy could be burned off by tackling the 400m hills ahead (Barnes Top, Knockanbane mountain to name but two).

Ballydonegan Sweathouse is one of the sites on the North Sperrins Heritage Trail. If you have time its worth the short diversion. There are a number of other archaeological sites on the trail nearby such as Auglish Stone Circle. Many of the sites relate to the wider landscape and in particular the hills.

I climbed Mullaghash yesterday, Saturday the 19th of December. I did so in the company of the West Tyrone Ramblers as we climbed high into the Sperrins on a cold winters morning. We started the walk 3 miles outside Park on the road to Feeny (B44) at an old public house, Labelled on OS map. It is 300m up the road from Ballydonegan sweat house which is signposted. We parked here and headed down the road to the small cottage and the signpost for the sweat house. We followed a lane around the right hand side of the house and then turned left on another lane leading down to a river. There is a wooden bridge crossing the river which leads to the sweat house however do not cross it but continue up the lane. After 500m or so you pass some outbuildings on your right, rounding a gate you continue on the track which gradually begins to turn to the left. Then you come to a river, cross it and continue on the path up the hill. You then cross the river again before reaching an iron gate, go through it and continue along the path. Here the path is quite cut up and wet so walking on the bank is the best. You then reach another gate, this time a wooden one go through it, then continue. At this stage the path begins to peter out. Follow the fence line on your left hand side across the foot of the mountain (you may need to cross it as this side of it is very wet). This fence then meets another fence which goes straight up the mountain on your left hand side. Follow this to the top. The exact top is not marked however a huge boulder would appear to be the summit. I descended via the same route following the fence back down and then over to the track. The track leads back through the gates, passing the out buildings and onto the road. A challenging but rewarding walk. I recommend that you do it on a clear day to enjoy the views.

but I think this limits the audience. I think there should be some suitable delay (2-weeks?, 30 - 60 days?) and the shows should be posted for public viewing. Dr. Paul has always been about disseminating the message... but he is unemployed now (heh) and trying to make ends meet in hard economic times.
In any case, setting up a "professional" studio venue can't be cheap. I only wonder why he went for this format when, in current times, it is so easy to get high quality results without all the trappings of a studio.

Small Forum Overhaul
Hey guys and girls,
I just "cleaned" up the forum a bit. I moved all unnessecary topics out of view so you guys get a better overview of everything that is here. It's a smaller board now that fits for the activity we have on this forum. All posts and boards related to Prison have been moved as you can communicate about it on http://tdknetwork.com/forum
Also the Twitch Lounge area has been hidden for now.
Don't worry if you had a post you wanted to keep, it could be moved to "off-topic" or it is still hidden somewhere in the archive. Contact an admin if you'd like access to it again.
Off-topic now includes the other boards that were in the 'community category'. They are now all together since there wasn't much action on any of those boards. All topics that hadn't been locked yet where moved to the Off-topic board, so you can find them there.
Hope we can all get some more life into these forums.
Kind regards,
Community Manager

Best Pinball Palace (and Tailoring!) (2011)
Pins and Needles
Hidden away on the second floor of the cavernous uber-rehearsal complex known as Bedrock, you will find Pins and Needles, the largest collection of vintage pinball games this side of Las Vegas' Pinball Hall of Fame — from Space Invaders and Star Trek to the signature machines of Dolly Parton and the Harlem Globetrotters. Kitschy art and collectibles are hung over 30-plus arcade treasures, in a space that feels more like an eccentric, out-of-time rec room than anything else. But wait, there's more! The fawnlike Molly Atkinson, kind enough to share her private collection with the world at large, is also one hell of a seamstress. For those accustomed to hemming their vintage Sta Prests with electrical tape, tailored togs don't have to be intimidating. Molly will help you look sharp at a great price. Of your ill-fitting wardrobe, she says, "Bring it in and I'll work with you." 1623 Allesandro St., 2nd floor, Echo Park.

Accusing US of Backing Terror Group, Ahmadinejad Says He Will File Int'l Complaint Over Bombing
July 19, 2010 - 2:18 AMIranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday Iran will file a complaint to international bodies over the deadly mosque bombing by an insurgent group he says the U.S. supports.
The twin suicide bombings of a mosque in southeast Iran killed 28 people Thursday night, in an attack claimed by the Jundallah insurgent group as revenge for the execution of its leader by Iranian authorities in June.
Ahmadinejad did not specify if the complaint would be specifically against the U.S., but he did tell state TV that America supported the bombings.
"If (President Barack) Obama is not aware of actions by American forces, we tell him that American troops based in Afghanistan and Pakistan support these actions," he said referring to the bombings. "Yet, the American president sends a condolence message."
Obama and other U.S. officials condemned the bombings.
Ahmadinejad also held Pakistan responsible for allegedly harboring terrorists, saying Islamabad "must be answerable."
Iran accuses the United States and Britain of supporting Jundallah in effort to weaken the clerical leadership, a claim both countries deny.

Hi There! These cards are beautiful! I especially like the iris. My soon to be husband has irises growing here in VT, well, not this very minute as it's still quite cold with snow, and we're expecting a snowstorm. Keep up the beautiful work. I am so inspired by coming here to this site. Thank you. Nina

Baxter angered by Budgen's call up
ESPNscrum Staff
September 26, 2011
Chris Budgen, 38, remains a central player for the Exeter Chiefs © Getty Images
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has aired his annoyance at the call-up of prop Chris Budgen to the Army side for the forthcoming World Championships.
The 38-year-old, who came on as a substitute and scored a try during Exeter's victory over Wasps at Sandy Park on Sunday, is a serving lance-corporal with the Royal Welsh regiment. He has special dispensation to play in the Aviva Premiership but has to be released for army duty when required.
"I'm a little disappointed with the army, I was assured last season that he would not be needed at this time of year," Baxter told BBC Radio Devon. "It's relatively difficult to plan in a professional environment with your squad when you're told one thing and then with two weeks notice something else happens.
"I know Chris isn't particularly happy that it's happened late, he obviously feels a little bit guilty about it all."

The sound of machinery clacking in this video is proof that restoring the Skydome at the National Corvette Museum is really underway. And if you sense a bit of sarcasm in my "really" comment, you should because so many of the plans surrounding the museum have been up in the air until recently.
So, maybe we jumped the gun a bit when reporting that the National Corvette Museum had figured out what the plans were for the sinkhole because now, like a one-to-four skip-shift, they're switching gears.
After weeks of speculation, the National Corvette Museum seems to be set on partially filling the sinkhole with plans to build a bridge over part of the thing.
Personally, I've had a tough enough time swallowing the idea that some of the damaged Corvettes might be left on display there in Kentucky, but preserving the sinkhole for a few extra ticket sales seems a bit much.
Five down, three to go until the retrieval process is complete for "The Great Eight," the name given to the coveted Corvettes swallowed by the sinkhole. Workers pulled the one-millionth Corvette and the severely damaged 1984 PPG Pace Car from the hole yesterday at the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky. The construction team now will […]

The Halos' No. 9 prospect pitched a career-high six scoreless innings on Saturday night as the Class A Cedar Rapids Kernels held on for a 4-3 victory over the Clinton LumberKings.
Bedrosian, the 29th overall selection in 2010, recorded 13 outs before Mariners' No. 18 prospect Guillermo Pimentel singled in the fifth for the LumberKings' first hit.
The 20-year-old right-hander also yielded singles to Jamal Austin and Daniel Paolini in the sixth but was otherwise strong. No LumberKing advanced past second base against Bedrosian, who struck out four while walking three.
The result moved his record to 1-5 and bumped his ERA down to 5.23 though eight Midwest League starts. The Georgia prep product missed all of 2011 and the first month of this season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Typically, hurlers recovering from the procedure are challenged to rediscover control of their repertoires. Bedrosian, who features a slider and changeup to go along with his fastball, has walked 19 batters (against 16 strikeouts) over his first 31 innings.
Kernels closer Ty Kelley earned his 10th save with a 1-2-3 ninth.
Angels' No. 4 prospect Kaleb Cowart doubled, singled and plated a run for the Kernels, raising his average to .292 through 59 games.
LumberKings starter Ambioris Hidalgo (2-8) gave up three runs on five hits, including a two-run homer to Frazier Hall in the third, over five frames.
Hall also homered on Friday and has seven longballs this season.

I understand that U-Verse and FiOS have similar restrictions as to the number channels that the subscriber can view through one drop at one time.
of their customer footprint. How could it be, even DSL over existing copper isn't profitable or even available in all areas. Whether or not they had to 'give up FIOS' as part of the LTE deal with cableco's, VZ didn't give up anything they hadn't already planned.
. I only have 5Mbps upload. I uploaded low res to print 5x7s and the prints from full, high res files were indistinguishable from those produced with low res uploads.The average home user needs more download, as the average home user is more of a consumer of content rather than a producer. And with new compression technology even full HD video can be transmitted over low bandwidth connections with little degradation in quality.
The effect of those all politics will be, Europe has advanced wired connections, USA top wireless industry and Asian countries will have both.In europe hspa+ dc took deployment in most places and caps come as high as 50 gb or even 80 gb. Some places have LTE already with similar enjoyable caps. And often offer fixed installation at homes like clearwire does here with WiMAX.It will be interesting or not too see how the US will compete in the next few years. Even vdsl in most countries will have more capacity than what u-verse has here.
to the NYT?A Verizon person basically copy/pasted the same 3 lines that Verizon states (it brings more competition, lower prices, etc...) and that was it.Nothing to back up the claims, nothing. Just the same sentences and that was it.I honestly believe that Verizon has just given up trying to actually rationalize its decisions to consumers or really anyone outside its stockholders
The average home user doesn't need more than 1Mbps upload, if that much.
The FCC will allow Verizon to buy the spectrum and that's it. All of this side deal shit will NOT be allowed.
How do you come up with that determination??I love when people throw around numbers like this. You do realize that demands for MORE upload bandwidth is one of the chief complaints among users...
Don't expect fifty nine to get it at all.
1 recommendation
said by fifty nine:over low bandwidth connections with little degradation in quality.
A: "little" is subjective.B: I prefer NO degradation..--"Not a stick, not a spliff, not even a puff.".... The Harder They Come, with Jimmy Cliff.
I wonder if Comcast will be in the wireless phone business someday...Hopefully not, because I think "Xfinity Wireless" would fail miserably.
over time, the cable companies will have the option of selling Verizon Wireless' service on a wholesale basis.
A: "little" is subjective.B: I prefer NO degradation..
Among which users? Maybe the techno geeks here but not the general population.
FiOS is not overkill.Third world countries use fiber optics.Are you suggesting that they are overkilling their infrastructure?Give me a break.
In my job I deal with many people who are NOT techno-Geeks, and more than three quarters of them complain about how long it takes to upload things...That is several hundred people.....
iPhone 4S can pump out a gig in a few minutes. Throw that on YouTube, and you've got a use for that upload. Add online backup and Dropbox, and that's a lot of data being moved.
If FIOS was truly halting plans, shouldn't there be some some of indicator in their SEC filings? I would think that would be material information that current and future investors would like to know.Maybe not right away, but should be not that far out.
I guess you never had to upload batches of pictures or home videos to family members on photo / video sharing sites, or heck even facebook.Today's high res cameras output some pretty sizeable files.

Kathy Henning | December 5, 2000 | Comments
Thomas Mann, 1929 Nobel laureate, once said: "A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people." Kathy explains why writing for the web is even more difficult than writing for print.
A few years ago, I wondered why any self-respecting writer would ever want to write for the web. Words on the web seemed so impermanent, so forgettable, so unsophisticated -- like words on a chalkboard. Why would it matter whether the writing was good or bad? And standards: Why bother?
But somewhere along the way (I don't remember the exact moment, but it was sometime in early 1997), I fell in love with the web. Before I knew it, I was a web writer.
What I'd come to realize was that writing for the web wasn't at all like writing on a chalkboard.
For one thing, pages can be archived indefinitely, or printed out and saved forever.
For another thing, there's nothing inherently unsophisticated about words on the web -- any more than there's anything inherently sophisticated about words in print. Good writing is good writing whatever the medium.
And though words on the web tend to be less formal than words in print, standards matter every bit as much online as in print, if not more. (Why else would so many people have such a gut-level reaction when Wired put the hyphen back in "email"?)
Copywriting on the web, I came to realize, is like writing song lyrics. On the web, text and design need to complement each other to create a good user experience -- the way lyrics and melody need to complement each other to create a good song. Too many words, the wrong words, or even words with too many syllables -- and you lose your audience. Switching web sites is as easy as switching radio stations.
Writing for the Web Is Harder -- Not Easier -- Than Writing for Print
"A writer is someone," said 1929 Nobel Laureate Thomas Mann, "for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people."
It's so true.
And the more serious you are about writing, the more difficult writing becomes. Oscar Wilde once claimed he'd spent the entire morning putting in a comma and the entire afternoon taking it out again. Though most of us writers aren't quite that hard on ourselves, many of us can agonize -- even lose sleep -- over a single word.
But I believe web copywriters have the most difficult lot of all copywriters. And I believe it's getting more difficult all the time. Here's why:
So how do you pull it off? How do you factor in all the demands of writing online and come up with the right words?
One thing's for sure: It takes more than talent. World-class print writers don't necessarily make world-class web writers. Why?
Because besides talent, it takes an understanding of web site architecture and navigation. It takes a feel for the web. An affinity with the web. Perhaps even a passion for the web. And it takes a willingness to collaborate and let go.
Aye, there's the rub.
Next week: the seven qualities of highly successful web writing.

Tiger Lily Beginnings
last night i stumbled across this tiger lily. I have not had a lot of experience with lilies in the past and i have had NO experience with lilies since i have moved to florida. i need help with them. first of all...the tag says they are tiger lilies. looking at the pictures below is the tag correct? now as far as growing them in florida i need help. is it possible to keep them as an indoor houseplant or must they be planted in the ground? has anyone had success growing them indoors? if i am indeed unable to keep them indoors what are the sun exposure requirements for when i do put them in the ground? ANY help that you can give me is VERY MUCH appreciated by both me and my new lily! thanks everyone!
1. It is not a Tiger Lily. It is an Oriental.
2. Lilies are not indoor plants. They must be planted outdoors.
3. They might never bloom for you again. Lilies need cold period every winter to bloom. People have problems to get them blooming even in zone 8. Sorry, this plant is not appropriate for you climate zone.
You could simulate winter for them by waiting for the flowering to end and the foilage to die back and then dig the bulb out of the pot (I have planted lilies in my garden in their pots when I wanted to make sure the new bulbs they produced were easy to find.
Take the resulting bulbs and put them in peat moss and a baggie and freeze them for a month or more, then bring them out and let them first thaw in soil with minimal sun and generally increase the sun and temp. If you have central air, you could bring the bulb inside after it blooms and put it in the coldest room of the house while it dies back.
Lots of work but it could be done. Depends on how much you want to do this. Up north here, we have to dig our dahlias, cannas, glads if we want them to survive and find a place to keep them over the winter. I have had minimal success with this.
Good luck.
By the way, I believe your lily is a stargazer.

Most massage porn sites either have a guy using his strong hands to coax a gorgeous naked woman into a state of total relaxation or the reverse, with the guy on the receiving end of manual, hands-on attention from a comely young lass. Two guesses what you'll find at All Girl Massage… That's right, women massaging women and, after letting their fingers do the walking, heading downtown for a bout of sapphic sex so hot it'll melt the fillings in your teeth. All Girl Massage might not be a perfect all-girl massage site, but it damn near comes close and that's something worth celebrating with a sensual self-massage of your own, isn't it?
Japan is known for its fondness for large-scale disasters caused by giant monsters but, strangely enough, not for its gargantuan-bosomed women! Stereotypically, the desirable Japanese babe has been young, slim, and flat-chested. At Big Tits Tokyo, however, she's as curvy as any bootylicious Latina or black girl and arguably down for more raunchy stuff: oils, clamps, and electrodes on the nipples, cosplay, gangbangs, and facials are on the agenda. Big Tits Tokyo ain't perfect and neither is its home network, All Japanese Pass, but us with our sanity-ditching obsession with mammaries that fill our hands many times over, we're not exactly perfect either.
Having reviewing the Brazzers network numerous times, it was starting to feel like there was nothing left to say about the infamous ZZ and its massive collection of exclusive, original hardcore pornstar-starring smut. That was until Brazzers Mobile hit the scene - and smart phones and portable media devices around the world! With a unique mobile-formatted design and complete access to everything that has made Brazzers one of the 'net's most successful adult websites, Brazzers Mobile puts some of the world's best porn in the palm of your hand.
John "Buttman" Stagliano is a media tycoon, antagonist to American puritans, and surveyor of every fine female body in the porn world. His official Buttman website is more devoted, however, to asshole expansion, kinky domination and submission plays, and experimental sex that few other pornographers would be touching if not for Stagliano's enormous influence. With stunning HD videos capturing every inch of skin shown by the models in gorgeous detail, and every act Buttman and his crew indulge in, Buttman's online base is as riveting as the man himself.
When shooting a two-woman scene, it seems most porn directors compensate for the lack of penis by telling the performers to act like this is the only satisfying sexual experience they'll ever have, but that doesn't make for particular convincing lovemaking, sex, fucking, or porn. Filly Films, although new on the scene, has started filling that void with scintillating hardcore scenes that place two beautiful, sensual women next to each other and let the chemistry bubble and boil until it explodes in a sea of sapphic orgasms. Club Filly is the company's online home and, if you're at all interested in watching two stunning women fuck each other's brains out in a most authentic fashion, the next hardcore site you subscribe to.
Eternal Desire can take your life in unexpected directions, not all of them positive or remotely sexy. For photography enthusiast Arkisi, though, his fondness for shooting pics of captivating women posed in the nude has brought him success, security, respect, and a legion of fans around the world who'll now be pleased to find Arkisi online with his very own Met Art website. Eternal Desire may not be home to cutting edge porn or ground-breaking erotica, but it's a solid effort all the same.
Those of us who feel stuck at home in the USA might see Europe as many things - a place of old-world adventure, a haven for history buffs, an art lover's paradise, a change of scenery - but anyone reading this here review is likely to think of it also as a cornucopia of incredibly lusty, beautiful women. Euro Angels' head honcho, Christophe Clarke, has gathered a great roster of Euro hotties (and a couple of incredible American babes) and enticed them to act out your deepest, darkest hardcore fantasies in front of his HD cameras.
Men are often told that size isn't everything. In response, many men agree and point to the sexiest small-figured woman in eyeshot. Now, imagine that woman, the short, slim, not-at-all-curvaceous young beauty few would rarely consider a sexual dynamo, shot porn for Exxxtra Small just to prove that little ladies can be just as carnally excitable as any buxom and zaftig honey. The results of Exxxtra Small's devotion to diminutive women is not just commendably inclusive, it's incredibly hot and sees the models fall under the control of men two-or-three times their size. And they love every second of it!

From the moment I arrived I felt special. That feeling remained
throughout my all too short visit.The location, an easy walk from the
train station, is central to everything Poperinge offers. I was there
the two nights that the restaurant is closed, but other guests gave it
high marks. The beds and chairs are very comfortable. The hot water in
the shower came through immediately, quite unusual for a small hotel. I
will return with my wife who is picky, but will love this hotel and
it's owners. - Anonymous

We parked in one of the many carparks - the town is really very nice. - Anonymous
We were pleasantly surprised by the standard of accommodation at the Hotel Amfora which met all our needs perfectly. The room was delightfully spacious with lovely decor.

Was there really outrage over a supposed 'Taxpayer funded middle finger'?
Was it even remotely reasonable to call Eleanor Catton a traitor?
The answer to all these questions, so far as I can see, is 'No'.
So – again – what was it all about?
Maybe this?
That is, did Eleanor Catton just 'spoil it all' when she said what she said?
If so, what did she spoil?
