Michael Lind: Private Sector Parasitestags: Michael Lind, Salon, capitalism, Economy, rentiers
Michael Lind is the author of Land of Promise: An Economic History of the United States and co-founder of the New America Foundation.
You don't have to be a Tea Party conservative to believe that the economy is threatened when there are too many "takers" and not enough "makers." The "takers" who threaten the dynamism and fairness of industrial capitalism the most in the twenty-first century are not the welfare-dependent poor—the villains of Tea Party propaganda—but the rent-extracting, unproductive rich.
The term "rent" in this context refers to more than payments to your landlords. As Mike Konczal and many others have argued, profits should be distinguished from rents. "Profits" from the sale of goods or services in a free market are different from "rents" extracted from the public by monopolists in various kinds. Unlike profits, rents tend to be based on recurrent fees rather than sales to ever-changing consumers. While productive capitalists — "industrialists," to use the old-fashioned term — need to be active and entrepreneurial in order to keep ahead of the competition, "rentiers" (the term for people whose income comes from rents, rather than profits) can enjoy a perpetual stream of income even if they are completely passive.
Rents come in as many kinds as there are rentier interests. Land or apartment or rental-house rents flow to landlords. Royalty payments for energy or mineral extraction flow to landowners. Interest payments on loans flow to bankers and other lenders. Royalty payments on patents and copyrights flow to inventors. Professions and guilds and unions can also extract rents from the rest of society, by creating artificial labor cartels to raise wages or professional fees. Tolls are rents paid to the owners of necessary transportation and communications infrastructure. Last but not least, taxes are rents paid to territorial governments for essential public services, including military and police protection....

"These went perfectly with my invitations, they came out really nice and I was so glad I decided to buy them along with my invitations, it made the whole thing look so much nicer."
"We were so excited to see these and were more than pleased when we got them. They are perfect for our family since we are all natives to city by the bay. Thank you Tiny Prints for representing our wonderful corner of the world!"
"An elegant (but unfussy) return label. Really love the size of the label (much nicer than the "freebies" we all receive). Will definitely reorder this item."
"The product was very pretty, i liked that i could customize the color and the text. These are gret labels for any occasion. I would recommend them to anyone."

The Clean Cut: Alex Boye releases 'Danny Boy' music video for 'Saints and Soldiers' film
Singer and actor Alex Boye released a new music video Friday morning promoting the film "Saints and Soldiers: The Void."
Boye, who plays the role of Perry in the film, performs an Africanized version of the Irish tune "Danny Boy" in his latest music video. Boye explained in the video description that the song "Danny Boy" is sung in the film, and a director suggested Boye create his own version as a music video.
"Those who know me well will know I jump at a chance to put an African twist on any song!" Boye wrote in the video description.
"I did feel at first that doing this version would be a little out of place as the movie is set in WWII, but because I play an African-American soldier in the movie, I felt it would (be) a nice nod to his African roots, and those of the other black soldiers in the movie."
"Saints and Soldiers: The Void," the third film in the Saints and Soldiers series, will be released in theaters on Friday, Aug. 15.

10 Best Day Hikes In and Near Major U.S. Cities
City dwellers live vertical lives in the least pleasant way imaginable, trudging to walkup apartments and elevating to fifth-floor offices. All the more reason to get out of the city and climb – genuinely climb – a mountain. These summit hikes, all within a short drive of major metropolitan areas, allow urbanites to summit a peak (however small) in one day and make it home in time to order a pizza and catch the game. It's a different way to get up and a great detour from routine.Launch Gallery » – Sarah Sommer

Originally written on Awful Announcing | Last updated 11/19/14
Charles Barkley recently told SI.com that his broadcaster career may be coming to an end in the near future. This is surprising since Barkley has always been quite popular amongst his NBA viewers. He's jovial, witty, and seems to enjoy himself on air. In the interview with SI.com, Barkley stated that he "loves his job" and "the people he works with" which makes it even more surprising as to why he'd hang up the mic so early. And yet, Barkley says he may not make it through the end of his current contract, which runs for four more years: "I love my job," Barkley said. "I love the people I work with. And I'm going to try to do things to keep me engaged. But I have four years left on my current deal and to be honest with you, it's going to be a struggle for me to make it for the whole four years. I really don't know how much longer I'm going to do this. I need something more, or something else to do to be honest with you." "Dude, you have been doing this for 13 years and if I make it to the end of the contract it will be 17 years. Seventeen years is a long time. It's a lifetime in broadcasting. I personally have to figure out the next challenge for me." It would really suck to not have Barkley on the airwaves, as he is a fixture on Inside the NBA and one of the most indispensable personalities in sports. Perhaps he just needs a little break away from TNT to re-energize, or perhaps a new assignment to mix things up going forward. Turner execs have stood by him through various controversies including when he got arrested for a DUI back in 2008. Barkley is also allowed more freedom than arguably any other broadcaster in sports. He can more or less just be himself on the air, which is what I think most people love about him as a broadcaster. He routinely touches on topics that normally wouldn't fly anywhere else. Maybe Barkley is just making so much money from Weight Watchers that he can afford to leave the TNT gig behind. I mean, when he is doing stuff like this and this, the money must be pretty good. But really, the sports world would be a much less entertaining place without Barkley on the airwaves and in our homes, so let's hope he has a change of heart and reconsiders; and keeps going strong for many years to come.

I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Banana Republic in March 2015.Interview Details
I brought in my resume in person. The manager looked it over, took down my availability, and told me to apply online. I was called 4 days later asking if I could come in for a group interview. I went to the group interview (there were 3 of us) and had a great time. The manager mostly wanted to get to know us, rather than ask us typical interview questions. The last portion of the interview was where we had to put together an outfit. We had to be able to describe the kind of woman that would wear this outfit, where she works, and where she is going while wearing this outfit.Interview Questions

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Banana Republic in October 2013.Interview Details
Applied online and did the personality test as required. After being screened for the position, I interviewed with the Store manager for one of their Manhattan locations. It was about an hour long group interview with about 12 people. We all had a chance to answer the questions and you basically needed to make sure your answers stood out above the rest. Manager was very down to earth and stressed how Banana is big on work-life balance. After it was done they told us they would be in touch early the next week. Their background check system had been down so it took a little bit longer but the manager did call me and extend the offer to start orientation at the end of that week.Interview Questions
Reasons for Declining
- The questions were pretty straight forward but there were some fun icebreaker questions as well. They asked what makes you interesting? Answer Question
The hourly wage offered ($9.50) was too low for my work experience and after attempting to negotiate with no budge in wage I declined the offer. If you are a student with no real responsibilities I would go for it though.Declined OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview

I interviewed at Soho for a Sales Position with the head supervisor. Thanks to this website, I was able to prepare myself for this interview. I was so nervous for no reason. It was really simple. I applied online and got an email to schedule an interview. I picked the 4:30 group interview slot because I felt as though a lot of people wouldn't. The less people in your group interview the better because you have space for your own unique answers. The interview was probably 10-15 minutes and it was myself and another girl.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 325 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by NikolayKspb I did expect a lot more Far from what I would normally expect. March 25, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Styleguy ask for the top floor ask for the Ocean view suit on the top floor.. January 24, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Vincos Out with the Old, in with the New OVERALL IMPRESSION: This property seems to be on the cusp between the surliness and pretentiousness of Old-Guard Meridien and the new brand standards being implemented by Starwood management. While descriptions in many older reviews are simply no longer applicable and progressive strides are definitely in evidence, this hotel does still have a way to go to stack-up favorably against new-builds and more recent acquisitions to the brand. SPG RECOGNITION: I was made to understand that this property does not practice standard upgrading for platinum members in a series of very disturbing pre-arrival communications with a manager who took an almost reprimanding tone with me in reminding that "resorts" are not required to honor certain high-level privileges. In actual fact, while not upgraded to a suite, we were given a high floor, slightly larger, room with a lovely large balcony. The full buffet breakfast in the main restaurant was superb. Daily in-room amenities provided a lovely surprise each day. THE ROOM: Very small but extremely well-designed so as to not be inconvenient. Modern chic in decor. Such proximity to the seafront gives the impression of being on a cruise ship. LOCATION: Superb. Probably the best-located property in town with shopping, Vieille Ville sights, the beach…even the airport bus…all within minutes walk. EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS: The generous attentions and daily in-room amenity arranged by the SPG Butler, Georges, made up for the, at times, somewhat stand-offish service of other members of the staff. He is an old-school gem whose dedication to the well-being of his guests is commendable. DID NOT MEET EXPECTATIONS: The rooftop "pool" is not adequately represented on the site or other promotional materials. It is absolutely minuscule with no surrounding space and not a single lounger. Understandably, a revenue-generating bar and restaurant are somehow squeezed in around it but results in the pitiful sight of pool users spreading their towels and "sunbathing" on the divans of the bar area. ONE THING TO KNOW: While you could not hope for a better centre-city location, this property is really making a stretch to define itself (and charge accordingly) as a resort. The beach is across the road, does not belong to the hotel itself but is a public concession and requires an additional - rather high - fee. January 11, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Thomas88 Great location, nice views Stayed there for the Night of New Year's Eve. Very nice and warm welcome at the Check-in (Mrs. Audrey); Upgrade to a Junior Panoramic Suite. It provided wonderful views over the sea and city, and had a huge terrace. Beeing a Junior Suite, the room itself was rather small. We got suprised by a really nice welcome treatment from the hotel, with champagne and fruits. Great! Breakfast was so-so; and the Gym and some areas on the rooftop are in deep need of an update. Total impression: Nice hotel in perfect location, if you have a room with view. January 2, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lauth Back to Russia My wife and I had looked forward to visiting Nice again. I also remember Le Meridien from earlier business visits. One major reason made the stay at Le Meridien a mistake: The room was very,very hot. We were told at the reception, that during the winter time, the AC was turned off. Like a Russian hotel we visited in March 1994. November 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MNV11 Fantastic Stay! The entire stay was flawless from start to finish. My room was amazing as was the service! George in in-room dining was fabulous! Thank you. November 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Aslanyan This hotel has average features The location is great but the amenities are not good, especially the food is not good November 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jworm Excellent After having read a number of reviews after booking, we found the hotel excellent. From ODie? at reception who was incredibily helpful to the excecutive suite (yes we paid for upgrade after having used points) was magnificent. The dinner on the rooftop was the pick of the trip as was the view. service excellent.Had a massage ..excellent. Highly recommend. November 2, 2014

I made this for SWMBO in an attempt to achieve something close to BMC, but with some actual flavor. I was hesitant to add the 3 beano tablets, but this beer turned out really well for what I set out to do.
This batch actually finished at 1.001. I'm not sure if that was because of the beano addition in primary (when yeast is pitched), or if my Notty just went crazy. I plan on brewing the exact recipe again, then brewing again without the beano.
It's light and low in carbs, but it has more body and flavor them BMC. The nose it a bit heavier than BMC, but it's pretty close. It has enough flavor to keep an EAC like me interested, but is light enough to appeal to BMC drinkers.
I have a party coming up on 8/30 that will have a number of BMC drinkers in attendance. Their reaction to this beer will be the real gauge of whether I accomplished my goal or not... updates to follow.
Good grief, I can't believe that I tried to clone BMC and moderately succeeded. I need to go drink some very obscure beer to wash away my shame.

Single Infusion, Medium Body, Batch Sparge
Step Time Name Description Step Temp
60 min Mash In Add 2.66 gal of water at 170.1 F 154.0 F
Sparge in 2 equal volumes to equal the preboil volume based on your equipment.
Crush the beano tablets, then add them at the same time that you pitch the Nottingham (pitch the Nottingham dry).
Substitute the 60 minute addition with just about any high aa% hop if necessary.
Beano = decrease carbs.
It was a smashing success, although much to my surprise there was just as much IPA consumed as this beer.
way late to the party on this, but did you ever brew this a second time with and without the Beano?
I need to decrease the carbs in my beers but don't want to sacrifice taste, body, etc.
Have you tried Beano in other brews to reduce the carbs?
I have brewed this beer a few times, but haven't excluded the Beano. I've used it a few other times in beers and I thought that they turned out well. I'm not sure that you can have it both ways, to tell you the truth. If you're looking for lower carbs, you're almost certainly going to lose something in the body.

Northern Sound & Light Goes Green with Solar Power Install
Northern Sound & Light (NSL), a pro audio and lighting dealer in Pennsylvania with a vibrant online presence, has invested in a new solar power system as part of a larger green strategy for the firm. NSL's solar power system is comprised of 117 photovoltaic solar panels feeding three current inverters. The 117 panels cover nearly the entire southern facing roof of NSL's facility. The system is literally a power plant and is estimated to produce approximately 25,170 kW annual average, enough electricity that NSL will achieve energy positive status and be able to sell electricity back to the utility.
"We are always focused on long-term savings, so this investment in renewable solar energy makes sense for us," says Steve Raslevich, owner and president of NSL. "Since half of our roof is now under the shade of panels, our HVAC system doesn't work as hard in the summer. We're also cutting our lighting load in half by a facility-wide change to compact fluorescent and LED lighting. The new lighting fixtures will emit much less heat than conventional lighting fixtures, further reducing our HVAC load. As we reduce our operating costs, we pass those savings along to our customers."
The design, engineering, and installation was conducted by Solar Power Industries of Belle Vernon, Penn. NSL chose Solar Power Industries due to their ability to manufacture locally, provide turnkey systems, and their quality engineering services. According to Jared Lyons, electrical engineer for the company, the NSL solar panel installation is the third largest system in operation in the greater Pittsburgh area. "Return on investment is a big consideration, especially given the escalating cost of electricity that will occur when rate caps come off at the end of 2010," explains Lyons, who served as system designer and project manager on the NSL install.
Advanced system metering means that Raslevich and his staff can monitor power usage via the Internet, and try to reduce their load during peak times. NSL is also investing in other green activities such as recyclable shopping bags and investigating as many options as possible to green their business practices.
Upfront costs for the solar panel system were offset thanks to rebates from the Pennsylvania Sunshine Solar Program which provides rebates to help fund solar electric and solar thermal projects for homeowners and small businesses in Pennsylvania.
About Northern Sound & Light (NSL)
Founded in 1990 by Steve Raslevich, Northern Sound & Light (NSL) strives to provide customers with award-winning service and top name brands at the maximum discount price. Based just outside of Pittsburgh in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, Northern Sound & Light is a proud member of the National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA), the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) and the BBBOnline Reliability Program. Northern Sound & Light can be found online at www.northernsound.net.

I just flashed my first ROM to my captivate and its working great, I'm really happy I did it..
However one of the annoying things is that it doesn't appear that the spell check/auto complete works on text messaging or any of the typing.
Is there a way to re-enable it so that it works? I am using Serendipity (the newest version I think, I just did it last night)
Thanks for your help

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" - it's a format for distributing and gathering content from sources across the Web, including newspapers, magazines, and blogs.
Web publishers use RSS to easily create and distribute news feeds that include links, headlines, and summaries. The Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Broadcasting Commission and Fox Sports are among the many sites that now deliver updated online content via RSS.
Yahoo! New Zealand News offers dozens of RSS feeds you can read in My Yahoo! or using third-party RSS news reader software.
Yahoo! New Zealand News is offering many feeds in the RSS format. The feeds are free of charge to use for individuals and non-profit organisations for non-commercial use. Attribution (included in each feed) is required.
The feeds are provided free of charge for use by individuals and non-profit organisations for personal, non-commercial uses. We ask that you provide attribution to Yahoo! New Zealand News in connection with your use of the feeds.
If you provide this attribution in text, please use: "Yahoo! New Zealand News". If you provide this attribution with a graphic, please use the Yahoo! New Zealand News logo that we have included in the feed itself.
We reserve all rights in and to the Yahoo! New Zealand News logo, and your right to use the Yahoo! New Zealand News logo is limited to providing attribution in connection with these RSS feeds.
We are also including the provider of each individual news story in the feed alongside each headline. Please do not alter this for display. We want our news partners to be attributed for their work.
Yahoo! New Zealand News also reserves the right to require you to cease distributing these feeds at any time for any reason.
News Aggregators (also called news readers) will download and display RSS feeds for you. A number of free and commercial News Aggregators are available for download. Popular news readers include AmphetaDesk, NetNewsWire, and Radio Userland.
Many aggregators are separate, "stand-alone" programs such as those listed above; other services will let you add RSS feeds to a Web page. Yahoo! New Zealand lets you add RSS feeds to your My Yahoo! page; to make this easier, you can click on the "Add to My Yahoo!" button to the right of each link above.
Another way many people use RSS feeds is by incorporating content into weblogs, or "blogs". Blogs are web pages comprised of usually short, frequently updated items and web links. Blogging as a publishing tool is used for many purposes: traditional journalism, personal journals, group discussions around a topic, and many combinations in-between.

On Monday, British Prime Minister David Cameron announced a sweeping censorship plan that would block internet users in the United Kingdom from accessing online pornography unless they specifically request otherwise. British ISPs will be obliged to contact each of their customers to ask whether they want their content filtered, and if no answer is forthcoming, the filter will be applied by default. Speaking of how "online pornography is corroding childhood," Cameron also proposed that search engines stop showing returns for child pornography – and in doing so demonstrated a lack of understanding of the medium.

After linking the world for 167 years, the commercial electric telegraph is no more. The speed with which electromagnetic telegraph systems took over both short- and long-distance communication in the mid 19th century set the pattern which telephones and the internet would follow, spawning the connected world we now live in. The closing down of India's state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam, Ltd. (BSNL) network on Monday sparked a last-minute rush of people looking to send a souvenir telegram to mark the historic event before the electric telegraph was relegated to the history books.

Almost two-thirds of the world still does not have access to high-speed internet, but Google is determined to change that. Unfortunately, setting up an affordable infrastructure in remote areas is beyond even a huge multinational corporation's capabilities, which is why the company had to devise a completely out-of-the-box solution called Project Loon. As part of the project, Google recently launched a series of internet-enabled balloons into the stratosphere over New Zealand to provide broadband connectivity to rural areas. Read More
Big Brother is here, and his name is PRISM
If there was any doubt that George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four was a prophetic piece of fiction, you can pretty much put that to rest. The more skeptical among us have claimed for years that, in the age of the internet, nobody has real privacy. During the last 24 hours, those fears emerged from the shadows. Details leaked of the secret US National Security Agency (NSA) program called PRISM, which may as well have been called Big Brother. Read More
Along with its nihilistic cyberpunk style, the film The Matrix is famous for popularizing what's known as "bullet time" photography.

Now, that same technology may be coming to live televised sporting events. Read More

If you thought 5G wireless was fast at one Gbit/s, how does 40 Gbit/s sound? That's the new wireless data transmission record set by a team of engineers in Germany using integrated solid state mm-wave transceivers. This data transmission rate was demonstrated over a distance of 1 km (0.6 miles) and it is hoped that such links could be used to close gaps between optical networks in rural areas at a fraction of the cost of installing optical fiber.

The experiment involved sending a secure message from the aircraft to a ground station via laser beam, and can be considered a significant step toward the creation of a network of "unbreakable" satellite data transmissions.

Having trouble setting a block template in Magento's layout xml. I'm attempting to set the template of a child block, not the entire page layout (almost all docs out there explain how to set template of the layout).
Background: I'm updating a layout handle in my custom action, using the
<update /> tag in my module's layout xml.
Essentially, I want to reuse the layout and blocks of the built in product view action, but provide custom templates for a few blocks. (Not just overrides, these need to be brand new templates that are only triggered on my custom action and are themselves overrideable).
My layout html:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<update handle="catalog_product_view" />
<reference name="content">
<block type="catalog/product_view"
name="product.info" output="toHtml" template="mymodule/product.phtml" />
<reference name="product.info.bundle">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>mymodule/customtemplate.phtml</template></action>
setTemplate on
product.info.bundle never works; it doesn't seem to affect layout at all. I've tried wrapping the
<reference> in other
<reference> nodes from parent blocks with no effect. Is it possible to replace block templates in this way? I feel that my problem stems from the fact I'm using an
<update />.
By the way, I know my layout xml is being loaded and there are no errors, the rest of the file is working fine, caching is disabled, have cleared cache anyway, etc.

The Vienna Philharmonic brings its tradition of excellence and individuality to San Diego
Acclaimed orchestra has a unique sound and storied history
But really, if we must, there's Vienna — and then there's everybody else.
"I like to think of it as: Vienna is the best orange, and Berlin is the best apple," said Dean Corey, president of the Orange County Philharmonic Society.
The Berlin Philharmonic, Corey explained, is the industry standard; American orchestras tend to emulate its sound. "But Vienna — with its particular sound and style — is unlike any other orchestra."
Corey, who formed a relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic when he first booked them into the Orange County Performing Arts Center in 1997, initiated the tour that will bring the orchestra to California for seven dates in late March and early April, including a March 4 concert at San Diego's Civic Theatre in a program of Brahms' Symphony No. 2 and Schumann's Symphony No. 2.
"It's the biggest thing we've ever done," said Christopher Beach, president and artistic director of the La Jolla Music Society, which is presenting the orchestra. The opportunity to offer Vienna to its subscribers was something Beach and his board felt they couldn't refuse, despite the cost. The society's mission is to "bring the world to San Diego." And having some of the concert's expenses underwritten by a $250,000 grant from Conrad Prebys and Debbie Turner has made the endeavor easier.
"San Diego is a city that has great aspirations," Beach said. "And opportunities like bringing Vienna here, if we were to pass on that, it would mean one of the great cultural treasures of the West just passes San Diego by."
The more-than-160-year-old Vienna Philharmonic is a virtual repository of the Western classical music tradition. Even when musical currents started to shift away from Vienna — classical music's capital city — in the early 1900s, the Vienna Philharmonic stayed the course. It uses woodwinds and brass instruments of a certain size and bore, essentially unaltered since they were perfected more than a century ago (before, the Austrians might say, the French and others compromised them).
The violins are owned by the orchestra, chosen for their ability to create a particularly warm, singing sound. Even the percussion instruments must meet certain specifications (goat skin only for drum heads; nothing synthetic).
"We have period instrument groups, where musicians try and go back and re-create what it must have sounded like, using the period style and the instruments of the time," said Corey. "This orchestra in a sense is a period instrument orchestra."
For Vienna, however, authenticity is neither an academic exercise nor a wild-goose chase after some illusive musical ideal. The orchestra's distinct style of playing has been handed down through generations, often from father to son (a source of some contention, as it was never father to daughter). And that style is rooted in the orchestra's first and frequent performances of works by composers who form the core of the classical canon, in particular Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler and Strauss.
"Conducting Brahms with Vienna is the same thing as conducting Tchaikovsky with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic," said Russian conductor Semyon Bychkov, who has frequently conducted the philharmonic in Vienna and will conduct it on tour. "You see, certain things cannot be notated. Imagine a Shakespearean actor who is born and bred in Shakespeare; there are certain things which are automatically known, they are not something that you can really spell out.

March on London, A
The events that took place during the latter half of the fourteenth century and the first half of the fifteenth are known to us far better than those preceding or following them, owing to the fact that three great chroniclers, Froissart, Monstrelet, and Holinshed, have recounted the events with a fulness of detail that leaves nothing to be desired. The uprising of the Commons, as they called themselves - that is to say, chiefly the folk who were still kept in a state of serfdom in the reign of Richard II.

I guess, with respect, I'd ask that ppl keep a perspective on things. From my point of view, inside looking out, it's been one hell of a ride. We're past all of that now. We're doing well. We just need to focus, to get back to what we know best, what we championed for all these years. Nothing has changed in my heart, just that it's been much more difficult for it to show as we were going through the meat grinder.
I don't believe that's right... the IPs are assigned the very same way ours are.
In fact, ARIN just passed new policies today to accommodate this exact thing for both TPIA and ATPIA
Start is also a new startup...
Ah, ok, Gabe sent me a quick note to tell me it had passed...
Start is also a new startup with smaller customer base than TSI has, which I'm sure they will experience growing pains, the same as TSI has. They have some benefits on the cable side, only having to deal with one single interconnect point vs many points of interconnect to manage. I also feel TSI gets treated badly by BELL and ROGERS cause they dared to stand up to them.. (THANKS TSI FOR THAT BTW)I do have to point out though, TSI needs to get the call centre issues, and customer service fall outs under control here.. Change had to happen, but right now it would appear it's a bit of a mess. When things go wrong for some customers, it's appears REALLY REALLY WRONG. I'm sure START has these issues too with some customers, but it's not making TSI look good and once a bad name is made, it's hard to shake. I can tell you that negative image is starting to show in some common foke, as I've mentioned TSI to some non-TECH types, and they have heard some bad things. This isn't good.
I think the biggest issue you have Marc, is you give a shit and take pride in the business.
I also feel TSI gets treated badly by BELL and ROGERS cause they dared to stand up to them..

10 Pretty Ways to Keep Your Countertop Organized
Kitchen Inspiration
Whether you have a lot of workspace in your kitchen, or just a little, keeping your countertop neat and organized is paramount. It's just too easy to leave a jar of peanut butter or a bottle of honey out, push it back into the corner, stack up a few cans for a meal you're going to make tomorrow — and before you know it counter creep leaves you with nowhere to work.
I've lived with tiny countertops and large ones, and no matter what, I always corral the things that stay out on the countertop, so it's easy to see what belongs and what should be put away. Here are 10 examples of countertops with a pretty corner dedicated to holding the most important stuff.
4 Wire & Metal Organizers for the Rustic Kitchen
Kitchen Inspiration
I love the vintage, homey look of wire and antiqued metals. I'm not talking about foodservice-style chrome wire shelving (though that's great for a utilitarian look, and I have a little unit in my dining room that's currently holding an impressive array of pans and appliances). Today, I'm talking about the farmhouse-y , oxidized metal wall grids, egg baskets, shelves and racks that instantly give a lived-in feel to any kitchen.
Here are a few of my favorite ways to incorporate this old-fashioned look to help organize modern spaces.

If there's plenty of light in your dining room, but you still feel like something's missing, here's an idea: hang a mobile over the table!

Hi: 12° Lo:7°
By Rob Cox Monday 18 August 2014 Updated: 19/08 08:10
TAXPAYERS could end up paying for a £419million shortfall in the pension scheme for local government employees.
That is the fear of Stratford district councillor Peter Moorse who has expressed concerns about the cost of running Warwickshire's fund.
The average outlay in shire counties across England in 2012/13 was around £113 for each recipient. This covers fees paid to those managing each fund and administrative costs.
But the annual report by Warwickshire County Council reveals its costs were almost 50 per cent higher at £167.55 per recipient.
Speaking to the Observer, Coun Moorse said: "Ultimately these costs all fall back on the taxpayer or the staff of the council through higher contributions. The lower the costs the better it is from the taxpayer's point of view.
"This is a long-term problem which doesn't necessarily affect this year's tax rates but will in years to come."
The Warwickshire Pension Fund is part of the Local Government Pension Scheme and is administered by Warwickshire County Council.
It has more than 39,000 members from many of the county's public sector bodies including the county council, the five district and borough councils, Warwickshire Probation Trust and several academy schools.
The council said running costs must be considered alongside investment returns which had consistently outperformed the national average. This has resulted in the fund's total value increasing month-on-month since May 2012 and contribution rates remaining low for its active members.
A spokesperson added: "It is a false economy to reduce investment expenses if this just results in lower investment returns. That would be like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
"The Warwickshire Pension Fund already has a plan in place to repay the deficit and again this has been verified by an independent actuary."
