Apple responds to NBC, won't offer upcoming fall season shows
Apple has announced that they will not be offering NBC television shows for the upcoming season on iTunes. In the announcement, Apple revealed that NBC wanted it to pay more than double the wholesale price for each episode, a move that would have resulted in the retail price of each episode increasing from $1.99 per episode to an eye-popping $4.99 per episode. Apple also noted that ABC, CBS, FOX and The CW, along with more than 50 cable networks, are signed up to sell TV shows from their upcoming season on iTunes at $1.99 per episode.
"We are disappointed to see NBC leave iTunes because we would not agree to their dramatic price increase," said Eddy Cue, Apple's vice president of iTunes. "We hope they will change their minds and offer their TV shows to the tens of millions of iTunes customers."
Because the agreement between Apple and NBC runs out in December, should Apple have begun sales of fall series, NBC could have pulled the content from the store mid-season. To avoid this potential problem, Apple decided not to carry the shows at all. According to the announcement, NBC provided iTunes with three of its ten top-selling shows last season, accounting for 30 percent of iTunes TV show sales.

Louis: Doug, let's talk about money. Is it all you care about?
Doug: No…just because I see the high moral value of money doesn't mean it's all-important to me. In fact, I find money less and less important as time goes by, the older I get. Perhaps that's a function of Maslow's hierarchy: If you're hungry, food is all you really care about; if you're freezing, then it's warmth; and so forth. If you have enough money, these basics aren't likely to be problems.
My most enjoyable times have had absolutely nothing to do with money. Like a couple times in the past when I hopped freight trains with a friend, once to Portland and once to Sacramento. Each trip took three days and nights, each was full of adventure and weird experiences, and each cost about zero. It was liberating to be out of the money world for a few days. But it was an illusion. Somebody had to get the money to buy the food we ate at missions. Still, it's nice to live in a dream world for a while.
Sure, I'd like more money, if only for the same genetic reason a squirrel wants more nuts to store for the winter. The one common denominator of all living creatures is one word: Survive! And, as a medium of exchange and store of value, money represents survival… it's much more practical than nuts.
L: Some people might say that if money were your highest value, you might become a thief or murderer to get it.
Doug: Not likely. I have personal ethics, and there are things I won't do.
Besides, crime — real crime, taking from or harming others, not law-breaking, which is an entirely different thing — is for the lazy, short-sighted, and incompetent. In point of fact, I believe crime doesn't pay, notwithstanding the fact that Jon Corzine of MF Global is still at large. Criminals are self-destructive.
Anyway, what's the most someone could take, robbing their local bank? Perhaps $10,000? That's only enough to make a wager with Mitt Romney. But that leads me to think about the subject. In the old days, when Jesse James or other thieves robbed a bank, all the citizens would turn out to engage them in a gun battle in the streets. Why? Because it was actually their money being stored in the bank, not the bankers' money.
A robbed bank had immense personal consequences for everyone in town. Today, nobody gives a damn if a bank is robbed. They'll get their money back from a US government agency. The bank has become impersonal; most aren't locally owned. And your deposit has been packaged up into some unfathomable security nobody is responsible for.
The whole system has become corrupt. It degrades the very concept of money. This relates to why kids don't save coins in piggy banks anymore — it's because they're no longer coins with value; they're just tokens that are constantly depreciating and essentially worthless. All of US society is about as sound as the dollar now.
Actually, it can be argued that robbing a bank isn't nearly as serious a crime today as robbing a candy store of $5. Why? Nobody in particular loses in the robbery of today's socialized banks. But the candy merchant has to absorb the $5 loss personally. Anyway, if you want to rob a bank today, you don't use a gun. You become part of management and loot the shareholders through outrageous salaries, stock options, and bonuses, among other things. I truly dislike the empty suits that fill most boardrooms today.
But most people are mostly honest — it's the 80/20 rule again. So, no, I think this argument is a straw man. The best way to make money is to create value.
If I personally owned Apple as a private company, I'd be making more money — completely honestly — than many governments… and they are the biggest thieves in the world.
L: No argument.
Doug: Notice one more thing: making money honestly means creating something other people value, not necessarily what you value. The more money I want, the more I have to think about what other people want, and find better, faster, cheaper ways of delivering it to them. The reason someone is poor — and, yes, I know all the excuses for poverty — is that the poor do not produce more than they consume. Or if they do, they don't save the surplus.
L: The productive make things other people want: Adam Smith's invisible hand.
Doug: Exactly. Selfishness, in the form of the profit motive, guides people to serve the needs of others far more reliably, effectively, and efficiently than any amount of haranguing from priests, poets, or politicians. Those people tend to be profoundly anti-human, actually.
L: People say money makes the world go around, and they are right. Or as I tell my students, there are two basic ways to motivate and coordinate human behavior on a large scale: coercion and persuasion. Government is the human institution based on coercion. The market is the one based on persuasion. Individuals can sometimes persuade others to do things for love, charity, or other reasons, but to coordinate voluntary cooperation society-wide, you need the price system of a profit-driven market economy.
Doug: And that's why it doesn't matter how smart or well-intended politicians may be. Political solutions are always detrimental to society over the long run, because they are based on coercion. If governments lacked the power to compel obedience, they would cease to be governments. No matter how liberal, there's always a point at which it comes down to force — especially if anyone tries to opt out and live by their own rules.
Even if people try that in the most peaceful and harmonious way with regard to their neighbors, the state cannot allow separatists to secede. The moment the state grants that right, every different religious, political, social, or even artistic group might move to form its own enclave, and the state disintegrates. That's wonderful — for everybody but the parasites who rely on the state (which is why secession movements always become violent).
I'm actually mystified at why most people not only just tolerate the state, but seem to love it. They're enthusiastic about it. Sometimes that makes me pessimistic about the future…
More tomorrow…

Can Whales, Fishermen and the Shipping Industry Continue to Carry on in Rich Stellwagen Bank?
By Richard Gaines, Gloucester Daily Times, Mass.
Jun. 23–First of 3 parts
Fifteen years after Congress and the first President Bush established an ocean sanctuary just over the horizon from Gloucester, a struggle over Stellwagen Bank has begun.
It pits the agency charged with protecting the sanctuary against many of the interests from which it is being protected — notably commercial fishermen.
It also raises difficult questions about the meaning of the word "sanctuary" when applied to one of nature's richest and most diverse neighborhoods — one that's a sanctioned, convenient, essential producer of high-quality protein with fins, yet one that also happens to be a central park for the whale, and stretches across the main shipping lane between New England and Europe.
Because of Stellwagen's singular blessings and curses — carved out by geology, geography and history — the struggle demonstrates how far we've come, and yet how far there is to go to find productive peace with our environment.
Inside the 842 square miles of the sanctuary — a watery national park, if you will, the size of Essex County, and home to more than 575 species of flora and fauna, 80 fish, 30 seabird and 20 mammal species — activities such as mining, drilling, dumping and exploring for oil and natural gas, and commercial development were initially prohibited.
The original draft environmental impact statement and management plan notes harebrained schemes to put huge salmon farms on the bank (and introduce a foreign species) or to add a gigantic, garish floating casino ("Gugel's Arabian Nights,") and seems to place the founding of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary in an ancient epoch rather than the previous decade.
It was so long ago that commercial fishermen and environmentalists were actual arm-in-arm allies in favor of the creation of the sanctuary.
"We started the process together with the Conservation Law Foundation," said Angela Sanfilippo, president of the Gloucester-based Fishermen's Wives Association.
By barring what many see as the most exploitive human behaviors — such as off-shore drilling — it was thought commercial and recreational fishing and boating industries such as whale watching and diving could go on unimpeded inside the sanctuary. And fishing is one activity the managing agency has not been allowed to regulate.
But flash forward 15 years: Now comes the agency created to manage Stellwagen's 842 square miles with a thick report of a lengthy scientific and observational study and a public education campaign that concludes a need to limit nearly all human activities on the bank and within its boundaries.
These include shipping, diving, whale watching, recreational fishing — even toilet flushing. But of all the perceived harmful effects on Stellwagen's health and stability, the one of highest concern to the managing agency comes from commercial fishing.
"We're looking to do things differently," Craig MacDonald, superintendent of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, told the Times in an interview last week. "The status quo is not helpful. We're looking to restore the biological community."
It was commercial fishing that literally put Stellwagen on the map — a spot about 10 miles east of and equidistant from Gloucester and Provincetown. On explorer John Smith's 1616 map of New England is drawn a square rigger — the icon of the times for a good place to fish.
A pile of cod heads below the boat-icon was added to a 1635 edition of the map to emphasize the fishing possibilities that were there.
To this day, much of the region's commercial fishing energy remains directed at the rich bank — the uplifted plateau at the center of the sanctuary, and it's largely for the same reason the whales congregate there — it's where the fish are. But it's also because of the way the Gulf of Maine fishery has been managed from before the sanctuary's creation to the present.
The thrust of policies by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to save and revitalize the entire Gulf of Maine and North Atlantic fishery — notably through catch limits and limited days at sea — have been to discourage off-shore fishing and time spent traveling to the grounds.
The result has been the consolidation in Gloucester of much of the reduced commercial fishing activity that there still is along the Gulf. The nation's oldest fishing port is also the closest to Stellwagen's riches.
"(NOAA Policies) have put more fishing on Stellwagen," David Goethel said of the management policies. The owner and captain of the Ellen Diane, a 44-foot stern dragger, Goethel has shifted his base of operation from Hampton, N.H., to Gloucester in response to rolling closures of the grounds closer to his home.
A member of the New England Fisheries Management Council, which advises NOAA on fisheries policy, Goethel counts nine other boats from New Hampshire, two from Maine and three or four from Newburyport that, like his, have been moved here to share the harbor with the 50 or so Gloucester-based boats that day-trip between Stellwagen and the Gloucester Seafood Display Auction.
Vessel trip figures in the agency's draft management report and environmental assessments verify Goethel's observation.
Landings in Essex County — effectively Gloucester — from Stellwagen have increased gradually over the last decade from 65 percent of 22.7 million tons in 1997. By 2005, the last year for which figures were presented, 75 percent of the 24.2 million tons taken from Stellwagen were landed in Gloucester and sold at auction for nearly $11 million.
Given those figures, it would be hard to overstate the importance of the commercial fleet's continued access to Stellwagen because they remain barred from so many other fisheries while NOAA protects them until their populations are healthy again.
"The one human activity that is heavily regulated in Stellwagen is commercial fishing," said Jackie Odell, executive director of the Gloucester-based Northeast Seafood Coalition, a multi-state industry group of boat owners and shoreside businesses.
Odell noted that 22 percent of Stellwagen overlaps the Western Gulf of Maine Closed Area, which has been off-limits for commercial groundfishing for nine years. She added that, since 2006, each day of fishing in Stellwagen counts for two against 42 days allowed.
Since its founding, management of Stellwagen by the small agency within NOAA and based in Scituate has been passive, studious. But in recent days, MacDonald has hosted a series of eight public meetings in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, where he presented the results of his agency's four-year study and the case for aggressive management of human activities inside the sanctuary — especially commercial fishing.
At the start of each forum, supported by a vivid slide show that featured Stellwagen's royalty — animated humpback whales — MacDonald delivered a half-hour lecture that guided imaginations through a cataloging of the bank's infinitely fascinating ecology, geology and history.
So remarkable is Stellwagen — a watery Garden of Eden that has become something of a Times Square along the main North Atlantic shipping lane between the tips of the two capes — there was barely time for MacDonald to discuss the underlying regulatory proposals.
But it is there — in the 32-page brochure, and 368-page draft management report, in print or CD form, downloadable from the sanctuary's Web site (http://stellwagen.noaa.gov).
The first seven of the 11 "key findings" outlined in the brochure are "facts" about the effects of fishing.
"Fishing — especially commercial fishing — impacts and pressures every resource state in the sanctuary," reads the first finding, which MacDonald summarized in a Portsmouth, N.H., presentation last Monday night. "On an annual basis, virtually every square kilometer of the sanctuary is physically disturbed by fishing, and fishing has removed almost all of the big old-growth individuals among biologically important fish populations, reshaping biological communities and habitats in the process."
The text contrasted the "historic exploitation of the whales and fish on Stellwagen" with a "modern appreciation" of the resources that require protection.
After he finished, it was time for public comments. A representative of the Conservation Law Foundation went first.
The one-time ally of the fishermen was put on record as wanting MacDonald's agency to control "all commercial activities," notably commercial fishing. She called Stellwagen a "sanctuary in name only" that was being ripped up by "bottomtrawling."
The foundation's more formal position is available at its Web site. It calls for full protection of the wildlife and habitat areas "where extractive and otherwise harmful activities would be prohibited."
Soon after came Gloucester's Angela Sanfilippo speaking on behalf of the fishermen and their wives.
She said she resented the idea that it took modern enlightenment to recognize the value of protecting the bank.
"The coordinates were drawn by my husband," she said, "to create a sanctuary — to be protected not from fishing, (but) from pollution."
Coming tomorrow: Part II: Behind the draft management plan — and its findings.

Weirdos at the hydroponics store
Most of you know I'm working on a grafting project. I haven't been able to find grafting tape locally, and so I'd been cutting strips of packaging tape and using them backwards, and having little success. In fact 0 success out of two attempts. So I decided to get some of the tools that would be used by someone who does this as more than a hobby... I built a healing chamber, and decided to bite the bullet so to speak, and buy some grafting tape.
Having driven to every place within 20 miles (that I knew of) and upon striking out, I was talking to a cousin with a checkered past, who suggested I tried the hydroponics store... I didn't know of any h.P. store, so I got directions, and discovered its in kind of a seedy (bad pun sorry) on the out skirts of town. I arrived there today, and was immediately greeted by an un-washed, surely lice-ridden hippy type, who was stocking box after box of something called canaba-coco. She said they didn't have any in the store, but could order that, and offered to call. I said sure, and started to walk around the store, only to discover they carried a seemingly full range of canaba branded products. Having been a goody two shoes all my life, growing up in church, I was well out of my element. Just as I was thinking of leaving, smelly hippy-girl came over and said "good news, I'll have some in tomorrow, they are including some along with my bale of, well never mind, but its coming. Is 2 dollars a good price? Sure said I. I'd pay that. To which she replied, well it might be more like 3$. Annoyed, I said, well I guess if that's what it must be. TO which she replied, i meant 5$, yes 5$ is probably what it will cost. I told her I'd only pay three, and then left. We shall see what the actually price is tomorrow.
If I don't decide to buy some online in the mean time.
I was thinking of something similar,rolling papers or a pipe...
Maybe find out when she takes her "smoke break" and come in just after that.
Get your grafting supplies and act like she forgot that you paid for them already along with that gazillion $ hydro setup...
Yeah, hydro store folks can be a strange crowd....
Living in northern California, I've become desensitized I think.
I was born up in Arcata, so when I wear my green "Humboldt" sweatshirt,
I fit in pretty well. It's funny, though, when I buy something like Neem Oil to kill spider mites...
and I tell the shop-keeper that I'm using it on my citrus. I think they automatically
assume that everyone's a weed-grower. I buy huge bags of coarse Perlite and Foliage Pro fertilizer
at the local hydro-shop, and I appreciate the good prices.
I'll keep you posted. She says she has tried grafting peppers before, and its an "effing" pain (yes she said effing). Though she doesn't seem *ahem*... all that motivated.
She asked what peppers I grow and I mentioned I have almost 50 varieties now. She says "oh everyone grows that sh**". She continued "I only grow the weird effing Sh**". Which has made me curious. Maybe I'll try and pick up some seeds. Hopefully she remembers I wanted PEPPER seeds, and not something else.
haha, they are currently busy with their doughnuts... Just kidding, my cousin is a cop - detective actually... I'm half tempted to get him to go down there with me one time...
There is a stand of Australian pines at the end of my property acting as a buffer for the lime dust from my terrible road... it works pretty well so long as it rains once in a while. They also provide a fair amount of privacy. So between that, and having several acres no one can see my house without coming on my property, or that of my neighbors.
Not that I would mind in the least, maybe they'd catch my neighbor to the west in some of his shadiness.
My sister lived here, before I owned the place, and she said they came over and asked her if she could hear the same voices. MY sister was like ... Nope ... The woman said "well maybe its the cocaine, I mean, no I don't do any drugs, because they are bad. But if the voices tell you to come to my house, tell them no!".
That, and another time when they shot fireworks at my house (and hit it), were the only interactions I've ever had with them.
I wasn't pleased. lol
OMG! and you say the weirdos are at the hydroponics store, sounds like you are surrounded. hmmmm, and how do we know you aren't one of them??? and I thought our neighbors were annoying.
Depending on who (and when) you ask I probably am one haha.
There is a lot of transiency, except that one particular neighbor. There are six houses that share my western border (a canal), at any given moment half are probably un-rented.
My eastern canal bank is overwhelmed with Brazilian Pepper. That stuff is horrible. But it means I don't have to deal with the neighbors over there very much. I'll still likely take it all down when I can.
Thats lovely. Well I don't have anything to worry about. I don't grow anything other than the peppers in my garage. If they feel the need to pull me out of bed in the middle of the night and drag me out in my boxers, so that they can protect the world from spicy food then so be it. I'm sure there would be an attorney willing to take my case if the craziness rises to the level seen in the articles about the and I quote "half baked" operation.
Did they end up visiting you Scoville?
I've been to the hydroponics store that sprung up near me. They have a good collection of stuff, including soil, so I've made purchases....
It is staffed and frequently mainly by youngish men - who are what my kids would call "bros" like in "hey bro.....hows is going" type lingo.
Do these young people share my passion for growing veggies? idk.....
At my local Hydro store, they actually have a pepper plant growing under lights in the shop
as an example. I find that marijuana growers often grow peppers, as well...although the
inverse is not necessarily true for pepper growers.
Peppers and Marijuana...that combination reminds me of when I worked at my first real job. It was a Mexican fast food joint back in the late 70s. There was a guy (early 20's) who would come in just before closing on every Friday and Saturday night around 1:30am. He was always wasted. He didn't hide the fact either. He tried to sell pot and other drugs to whoever took his order at the drive up. Other than that he was an alright guy. But he would order two hard shell tacos with a ton of the hottest hot sauce we had. He said he couldn't taste them other wise. This was some very HOT sauce...probably not Bhut hot but probably Habanero hot. He said the dope and other drugs killed his taste buds. Would that be the reason for the Pepper/pot connection, I wonder?
They have done studies to show that spicy food increases your taste buds sensitivity...
I like the idea of hydroponics... But it clashes with my desire for self sufficiency. Seems like one would need electricity in order to power something like that, whereas I'd prefer a setup where it costs me nothing, and I gain enough vegetables that I could survive off nothing more than my land, and any unfortunate edible animal that wanders through.
hah - Florida is a bad place to build a bomb shelter... Where I live is about 3' above sea level. More likely than a single bomb hitting the middle of nowhere FL, is a high altitude low yield nuclear detonation, or massive coronal mass ejection. Either of which would mean lights out for about a decade.
arsenal and pepper garden... Check! :)
Yah, but I dont think they load em in shotgun shells...probably just crowd control. I am talking rip the flesh open with the buck shot and add a dab of Bhut to make sure they know they been hit.
And just how did we get from shopping at a hydro store to shooting zombies with Bhuts?
Back to Hydro peppers now.
Jsschrstrcks, I'll take your case. It seems like an easy win, and I'm all about easy wins :-)
I haven't actually been to the hydro store, but I've ordered stuff online from a few shady places, and my wife always jokes about the cops showing up at our door due to the glow coming from my basement windows and the neighbors watching me haul in shelves and bales of pro-mix.
I actually tried to visit a hydro store looking for pro-mix and some nutes, but found it had gone out of business. I was looking all over for the name on the strip mall directory but couldn't find it. I later realized the hydro store "Green Circle" or something like that was the name of a head shop/hydro store busted by the local police about a year earlier. Now I buy the stuff at the "Grass Pad," - which is actually a reputable nursery. :-)
Jsschrstrcks said: "I'm sure there would be an attorney willing to take my case if the craziness rises to the level seen in the articles about the and I quote "half baked" operation."
haha well I'm glad to know someone is on my side :).
I don't plan on going back there either.
"grass pad" sounds right up there with canaba brand lol...
One of the guys on another forum I frequent was telling me that he experienced a similar situation in Chicago. one of his neighbors called the police and swore that they saw pot growing in the posters house. So the sheriff came out, battered down one door, then a second, hitting his wife in the face in the process causing 25k in hospital bills. As it turned out he was on the up and up - only hot peppers.
The case re the medical bills is still pending in court - but the sheriffs office did pay to replace both doors.
I don't have a fenced yard, and anyone could walk past and peer in my windows o.O, so I really don't think I'll have an issue - that combined with the fact my peppers are all outside at present should eliminate any confusion ^^
but never the less, I do appreciate the offer :)
Yep. provided the story is true as told (every story has two sides), then I would think they will be very successful in a lawsuit. My question is did the guy refuse to answer the door when they knocked or did they simply bust it down. Even on swat raids they knock first. Also, I would think they would do some type of recon to verify the tip. Just sounds a little fishy to me but if it is as told, then that PD is in a world of hurt. Yep, I got a gun next to the bed. But it isn't for defending my pepper operation.
So the story goes - they heard a noise, and his wife started for the house door to open it up and see what was going on, and she had just opened the door a crack when they hit the door with their ram (or whatever they use for breaching the door) causing the door to hit the wife in the face, knocking her unconscious.
The police report apparently said that the sheriff reported being able to smell pot from outside of the building, and heard plants being torn inside (destruction of evidence) which is reason enough to breach the door without waiting.
He says its a small town ~500 people (on the outskirts of Chicago), and that the sheriff was running for re-election, and came by and asked the wife if she would let them put a sign in their yard... she called for her husband, and when the sheriff saw him, he reportedly just got back in his car and left.
I'm not fully convinced of the guys story either, but it does have a number of parallels to stories that have been in the newspaper in my area. I think I linked it earlier, or gave the search terms of "largo hydroponics raid". Some of them have been quite successful, the largest bust I've heard about caught a group of criminals with over a hundred pot plants.
A friend of mine trained swat for pinellas and hillsborough counties - which is Tampa, St. Pete, and Clearwater, he recently retired. He tends to be defensive of any police action, but he'd likely know more about the local happenings.
Exactly. There have been a rash of "No Knock" warrants served with terrible outcomes
for both innocent civilians, as well as the invading Law Enforcement. In the middle of
the night, if someone kicks in your door, it is not your responsibility to verify who they
are before shooting back with everything you've got. Assume anyone in your house at
night is an invader...because that's what they are. And just hope that you survive the attack.
Even if you do survive, you may be imprisoned for a long time - even if you are innocent.
There are also several cases where the cops hit the wrong house, and then planted evidence
to justify the "bad shoot."
I'm not anti-Law enforcement, but I resist tyrants and thugs of any stripe.
kid thinks tomato plant is pot and steals it...
kid thinks tomato plant is pot and steals it...
In my state its legal to shoot an intruder in the face, or in the back, in self defense.
But seriously, I can see bad things happening - someone dressed in black, breaks your door down in the middle of the night and comes running into your bedroom... I wouldn't go running into my own parents room in the middle of the night like that - for similar reasons.

The third song on Lightning Bolt's latest album is called "Horsepower," and if one word can sum up the appeal of Fantasy Empire, that's it. After five albums of a very specific and perfectly honed sound, the Rhode Island duo has suddenly upped their game not by making any significant changes to their approach, but by adding horsepower. This is the biggest they've ever sounded, and Fantasy Empire's capturing of their thunderous, galloping power makes Lightning Bolt sound more essential than ever.

Album Review: Courtney Barnett
Sometimes I Sit and Think And Sometimes I Just Sit
I don't quite know where Courtney Barnett came from. Well, technically I do — she hails from Melbourne, the foodie capital of Australia — but she seemed to just burst onto my music radar from out of nowhere with her song "Avant Gardner." I fell in love with the track not just because the title is hilarious, witty, and the most amazing name for a song ever, but because the track is just out of this world.

Show Review: Rubblebucket & Vacationer @ Echoplex
A sweaty co-headlining dancefest!
The Echoplex was not as packed as it should have been Tuesday night when two bands, each boasting a massive surplus of talent, delivered a show deserving of a larger crowd that could match their intensity. Those who were in attendance, however, saw how well both bands played and will surely facilitate a larger audience the next time Rubblebucket and Vacationer stop by LA.

Album Review: Kendrick Lamar – To Pimp A Butterfly
The return of Compton's brightest star
More than any other modern genre, critical coverage of hip hop suffers from a need to instantly anoint something as a "classic" without allowing an appropriate amount of time for reflection. This tic was in evidence upon the release of Compton native Kendrick Lamar's debut album, Good Kid: M.A.A.D. City (an album that left me pretty cold in truth), which seemed to have been accepted into the hip-hop canon within days of its release. It has once again been in evidence with that album's follow-up, To Pimp A Butterfly, for which there has been a mad rush of acclaim since its surprise digital release last week.

Festival Review: Beyond Wonderland 2015

I'm going to start this off by tempering some expectations: this review is going to be much, much shorter than anticipated.

Show Review: Fritz Kalkbrenner and Co. @ Avalon
Surging house music charges the LA nightclub
Last weekend, all the deep house heads and "cool kids" of the EDM scene hightailed it out of Los Angeles to Crossed Fest in San Diego. "You should go!" they said. The lineup was stacked with deep house, and acid, and techno — a clear departure from the normal names that have been headlining the likes of EDC and Beyond Wonderland and yadda yadda yadda for the past few years.

Live instruments + electronic music. It's a thing.
It's been quite some time since I left a show sweaty, disheveled, and hoarse following a night of singing along whilst dancing exuberantly in the front row. But if any group was going to have me acting a fool on a Thursday night, it was going to be the insanely energetic South African duo Goldfish.

Show Review: Eleanor Friedberger @ The Echo
The Fiery Furnaces musician plays to her own tune
When I recently saw Eleanor Friedberger perform at The Echo, I was immediately dazzled by her charm and confidence. The astonishing singer completely transformed the atmosphere of The Echo into that of a '70s-era, free-wheeling groovefest, and I got the impression that she felt she existed in a world in which she alone had set the precedent.

Survey shows influenza vaccinations off to good start
A little more than a third of children in Minnesota's most populous area have been vaccinated against influenza so far this year, according to a national survey conducted in mid-November. While that's a start, state health officials say, more people need to be vaccinated before the peak of the season hits.
Influenza can be a serious, life threatening illness. Older seniors and very young children are among those most susceptible to complications from influenza.

NJ Democrat pushing pension reform exploited double-dip loophole
I don't know which is funnier.
A prominent NJ Democrat caught red-handed exploiting a loophole he's pushing to eliminate, or…
Public employee unions aiming their ire and indignation at the Democratic Party hands that feed them because of it.
State's largest police union calls for Essex County Executive Joe DiVincenzo to resign
The state's largest police union called on Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo Jr. to resign today in the wake of revelations that he is receiving a salary and a pension for the same job.
"This is unbelievable, the man is out yelling about reform and he takes a loophole to retire at a higher salary, a classic example of do as I say not as I do," State Policemen's Benevolent Association President Anthony Wieners said in a statement. "This exposes him as a fraud and just another politician who lies to the public."
Well, duh.
Only in New Jersey can you retire and keep doing the same job. The trick is to once have held a different government job. Then you "retire" from that job, even though you're not doing it anymore, and collect both your salary and pension benefit (which is of course based on your total years of government employment and the highest salary you ever collected). Not bad for government work, eh?
Joe D is unapologetic — "I had to make a decision that was in the best interests of my family."
And I want to make a decision that's in the best interests of the taxpayers and vote your double-dipping ass out of office. But this is Essex County, where the residents are born genetically incapable of voting for anyone but a Democrat.
Yet, the times, they are a changin'. This makes two of NJ's most prominent Democrats who are under fire from the public employee unions. South Jersey political boss Steve Sweeney tried to out-maneuver Chris Christie on public employee health benefits reform. He got bitch-slapped by the unions for his trouble, and to almost no one's surprise he promptly backed off.
Joe DiVincenzo and Steve Sweeney and their union frenemies perfectly exemplify the notion we've become a nation of takers, not makers.
I want them all to take one more thing. A hike.

Samsung Unveils Cutting Edge 1Gb DDR SDRAM Chip.
"The development of the production-ready one gigabyte chip is significant in that we were successful in applying the 0.13-micron design rule to semiconductor production," a company statement said. The chips are also based on new eight-inch wafer manufacturing technology instead of the traditional 12-inch wafers.
A company executive said the 0.13-micron design technology will also be applied to the production of new-generation 128Mb and 256Mb DRAMs which Samsung its starting to switch its production capacity to from the current industry standard 64Mb computer memory chips. It has already begun supplying selected customers with sample 64Mb DDR SDRAM chips and will make engineering samples available this quarter.
Industry analysts quoted in the Korean press said the cutting-edge micro-manufacturing technology could enhance the competitiveness of 256Mb DRAMS without the need for any additional investment in production facilities, and one report said this could result in savings of up to $4bn.
"The new development of the world's smallest DRAM is expected to save the company investment money and allow it to remain competitive in the world market since existing facilities need not be upgraded," the company statement said. Each tiny chip has the memory capacity of four 256Mb DRAMs, and is able to store the equivalent of 8,000 newspaper pages, it said.
The Samsung statement said the chip, which operates at a data processing speed of 350-MHz, will bring enhanced SDRAM to the server, workstation and data communications system markets. It said applications will include remote conferencing, high-definition television, satellite communications and e-commerce transactions.
It plans to ship samples to its customers before the end of this year, well before its competitors in Japan and the US, according to a company official. He claimed the competition has yet to develop a commercial version of 1Gb memory products. He said the world market for 1Gb DDR memory is projected to grow to $21.6bn in 2003 and more than $100bn in 2005.

Bio and Tea were really nice and we enjoyed staying at their place. The room is big and offers enough space for 2-3 people. Unfortunately, the window is next to the street and it was a little loud. Another minus is the really small bathroom and the bad condition of the shower. The area is beautiful and perfect for a stay in Rome. All sights can be reached via walk and the tram stop is in front of the door. If you love flat sharing and artsy living, this accommodation is great for you.
Все было классно. Хозяева были радушны и гостеприимны. Квартира просторная и уютная. Было все необходимое для быта. Отличное местоположение (шаговая доступность до самого центра, городской транспорт, продуктовые магазины, кафе, отличный блошиный рынок)
The description of this place is perfectly accurate. Large and comfortable room in the best location in Rome, with a private bathroom! I stayed with my best friend for couple days and we had an incredible time. The hosts let you use the kitchen if you would like to cook (which we did not do since who wants to cook when you are staying in Trastevere!?). Don't look further and book this place.
The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
The room is large with tall ceilings; about as big as a city studio apartment. It feels like an apartment in Williamsburg filled with young hip artsy people. The location is not close to a metro stop but it fronts a busy street with a tram and buses, with a stop VERY close to the apartment. Though convenient transportation wise, can be loud. It is easy to get around on public transit and even by foot. We walked to the Vatican in 30 minutes. You are close to Trastevere action, bars, restaurants and night life. Tea was very helpful with suggestions and also letting us try the food she made. There are people in/out of the apartment, it feels a little awkward at first but it gives you an opportunity to meet new people. The only thing negative about our experience (my boyfriend found it unbearable) was the shower; it was small and the water temperature went from warm, scalding hot- then cold in a matter of 3-5 minutes. I managed to creatively get through a shower but my boyfriend did not. Other than that, I enjoyed our stay.
It's a nice place to stay in Roma, and i was very nicely welcomed by my hosts!
The room is huge, the appartment calm, so it makes the journey pleasant.
It's a good place to start visiting Rome, and the district is perfect to go out, or take time in the morning for a coffee.
It's a charming place, hosted by very nice and understanding persons.
This host has 17 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews

Wilshire Boulevard
Originally published 08/21/2013
Second act for the Temple of the Stars
LOS ANGELES — It was known as the Temple of the Stars: a soaring sanctuary capped by a 100-foot-wide Byzantine dome, built by Hollywood moguls on the eve of the Depression and splashed with the kind of pizazz one might expect at a movie palace rather than a synagogue.But over the last 80 years, the Wilshire Boulevard Temple has become a monument to neglect, its handsome murals cracked, the gold-painted dome blackened by soot, the sanctuary dark and grim. A foot-long chunk of plaster crashed to the ground one night.The congregation, too, has faded; while still vibrant and active, it has grown older, showing no signs of growth. This once proud symbol of religious life in Los Angeles seemed on the brink of becoming a victim of the steady ethnic churn of the city, as its neighborhood grew increasingly Korean and Hispanic and Jews moved to the west side.

Description: Blue - Round - Purepac Logo - Tablet
The 031 is above the score line and the logop (which looks like a stylized R) is on the unscored side. This most likely is a generic 1mg xanax, and a schedule IV controlled substance.

Yeah, my parents live near the one in Irmo that closed. Are they still open on the other side of town? That is too bad -- we loved bringing their barbecue home. I will miss it!
