Because the hamburger contains a lot of unhealthy fat. It stops the blood from running through the vains. You didn't even notice...

Ruthless MP3 Slayer FREE
10,000 - 50,000 downloadsAdd this app to your listsTweets por @Appszoom
In fact, this is not intended to replace your normal MP3 player at all!
The Ruthless MP3 Slayer is designed to be an easy one-song-one-click solution for quickly spring-cleaning out your mouldy old MP3 collection.
This app is for those of us with huge cluttered folders dotted with old songs that we always skip past when they come up - yet never remember to remove them from our playlists for next time.
The author of this app will not be held responsible for any unintended loss of files due to trigger-happy fingers, etc.
[ Features ]
- No messing about with playlists and syncing, just dump a folder full of tracks and load it into the app. Simple.
- (Though playlists are still supported.)
- No confirmation prompts on delete; Be Ruthless!
- (Though for those who believe in second chances there is the Wimpy Mode.)
- Wimpy Mode changes the Delete button to a Move button. Files will be moved to a preset Wimpy Folder instead of being deleted immediately.
- Pocket Mode allows you to clean out your music collection without looking at the screen at all - great for walking down the street, standing in a crowded train or even riding a bike!
[ Tips ]
- Long press a folder in the Folder Browser to add folders recursively.
- Tap a song in The Playlist to start playing from that track immediately.
- Discover Pocket Mode...
Happy Cleaning!
- Brian Nutz
Tags: mp3 slayer, www.mp3slayer, slayer free mp3 player.
- v20120124
- Took me a while but here it is!
- Completely re-coded from the ground up, should be way more stable.
- Re-configured Pocket-Mode. Now with confirmation beeps and volume control. STILL able to control everything without looking at the screen.
- Hundreds and hundreds of bug-fixes.
- Email me if you find any more.
- v20110704
- First release
- * Please let me know if you find any bugs or oddities. *
- ** This is my first app. Be gentle... **
- *** Paid (ad-free) coming soon... ***
(37 stars)
Only added 100/2000+ of my songs to the playlist and when scrolling through lists it crashes.. Would have been amazing if it worked..

Beach Day
A nice relaxing day... We got under way at around 9 am.
We decided to go to the east first, all the way down to the end, to Halawa Beach. It was a beautiful drive down there with nice views of the ocean, Lanai and Maui. To bad it was hazy, so the view wasn't very clear. But nice all the same.
When we got to Halawa Beach, we werealmost the only ones there. Except for some very friendly local people, who told us a little about the history of ...
The Mule Ride
Today is the day for the mule ride. I have been looking forward to the tour for a long time!
We had to be there at 8 am and we were. After a short introduction, we all got a mule to ride on. We were told the mules picked by the similarities between mule and rider. Erwin's mule was called Smokey and my mule was called Alika. The mules were eager to start and apparently there was an order which mule would go first. Erwin and I were almost at the end of the ...
The Last Resort
... br>
We've dubbed it "The Last Resort".
The condo that we stayed in was somewhat removed from the walking dead ambush area, and was actually quite nice - the condo was well appointed, the grass was green and well kempt, and other than a slight surplus of wild turkeys strutting about the place was very pleasant.
The day brighten up considerably. Kaunakakai, generally referred to as "town" is a 30-40 minute drive (over the aforementioned ...
We got Moloka'i-ed
2 days is too long for this let down of an island. The last hour of our trip we spent sitting in our rental car in the airport parking lot. There was nothing else to do. We took the 3 mile hike down to Kalaupapa where we learned not so much about the history of the place, then were pretty much exhausted from the uphill 26 switchback climb back. The company we payed a lot of money to basically grant our way into the place, were out of stickers, ...
Tracing the steps of Father Damien
Hello everyone,
This morning we are off to one of our most antecipate tour of this trip : the Infamous Mule ride of Molokai. This is ranked as the one of the MUST do's in the World. Angela and I are a bit nervous about riding on muleback, but according to the reviews, it doesn't sound nearly as bad. We took the taxi to the mule barn and the owner introduced us to the mules in the facility. The stench of the mule poop was a bit overwhelming, but it was ...

As the Western military forces congregate in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea in anticipation of a "limited strike" on Syria, it is time to ask ourselves a simple question: Why?
Admittedly, our options for fighting this massive surveillance state are few. But here are a couple of potential solutions to start the conversation.
As if the Middle East is not already awash in U.S., Chinese, and Russian armaments, the military-industrial complex has sought Congressional permission to send another $2 billion in arms to war-torn Iraq.
Good news: A new amendment to defund the NSA is gaining steam…
Confused about the recent debt ceiling debate? Let Jerry's satirical piece be your guide.
Even the most conspiratorial minds among us are perhaps just beginning to scratch the surface…
The struggle between East and West will inevitably explode in the resource-rich Middle East.
The latest allegations of transatlantic espionage conducted by the U.S. against its European "allies" have placed President Barack Obama and the U.S. State Department in the global hot seat.
At least we are safe from those evil "terrorists." Right?
Geopolitical tensions have created a growing number of current global conflicts that threaten the existing global financial order.
"The USPS is bleeding — losing $3.2 billion in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 — and its problems require immediate Congressional action."
With prices currently below $2 and demand growing, U.S. natural gas prices will eventually stabilize at a much higher equilibrium price.
Here's a round up of the some of the latest shocking numbers detailing the continuing bankruptcy of our nation.
For those who are new to swing trading, right now is an interesting time amid the global volatility. I typically hold a stock for at least three days.
How does the government work? Forget the top 1%… We are talking about "the top 1% of the top 1%" that really pull the strings in this country. Learn more here.
When the government sticks their hands down your pants and tells you its "good for you," you know that we are nearing the end of the American experiment.
Is FoxNews Really "Looking Out For You?" If you haven't studied the rise of FoxNews in its influence over the neoconservatives and its manipulation of the evangelical community, it is simply fascinating. We will save that story for another day. Suffice it to say that there has never been a better descriptive phrase than television "programming." FoxNews Exposed.
Now, as a student of Austrian economics and as a firm believer in the free markets, I am not opposed at all to leveraging one's talents and abilities to increase wealth. However, doesn't it seem that our modern day "public servants" may be getting the better end of the deal? After all, they are sent to Washington with a mandate to promote the will of the people. However, America's politicians often end up serving the wishes of their corporate masters as well as other special interest groups.
Ron Paul's Presidential Campaign has just released a brand new web ad exposing the serial hypocrisy of corrupt former Speaker, Newt Gingrich entitled: Selling Access.
Here are three reasons why I have chosen to support the Presidential candidacy of Rep. Ron Paul in upcoming 2012 elections. We begin with a look at Ron Paul's faith and foreign policy. This is why I am supporting Ron Paul for President.
Jerry gives some brief comments on the Supreme Court's recent decision to hear a challenge to Obamacare. He also discusses what to expect on this weekend's FTMWeekly radio show which includes special guests, Peter Schiff, and David Morgan. And what are those strange lines in the Chinese desert?
Economist and author Peter Schiff recently braved a stroll through the loony mob (affectionately referred to as the "Occupy Wall Street" movement by the mainstream media) currently inhabiting Lower Manhattan. He was armed with a video camera and a microphone. There is no need for further comment. Just watch the video for yourself.
There is no need for further comment. Just watch the video for yourself.
After beginning the fourth quarter near bear market territory, the major U.S. stock indexes staged a rally this week on news that Europe would step in to help its ailing banking sector along with some better than expected economic data in the U.S.
Despite trillions of dollars in stimulus and Washington's hype over a "recovery", the economy is still barely growing in most parts of the country.
If you believe that the market is heading lower and that inflation is inevitable, as we do, then it would be wise to re-examine your finances to ensure that they are aligned with your beliefs about the future. Do you own any precious metals? Do you have any exposure to agriculture in your portfolio? How many of the stocks in your portfolio will benefit as the U.S. continues its decline? Have you considered starting your own business? It's time to get ahead of the curve.
This weekend, I ran across this unique presentation that attempts to visualize the U.S. National Debt through stacks of $100 bills.
Friends, you often hear me talk about the fact that America has a debt-based monetary system. But what exactly does that mean? Watch this video to see how money is debt.
What a surprise! After the mainstream media forced you to watch hours upon hours of coverage on the staged debt ceiling "crisis," Washington somehow found a way to save their own hides, and pull off a "last-minute" debt deal.
Here's what to expect now…
Washington continues to fail on a debt deal. The simple goal for Washington right now is to pass a deal that will reduce the deficit. Washington leaders only have one incentive: re-election.
This is just a quick post to let all of our subscribers know about some upcoming events this weekend.
Most Americans have no clue that the Federal Reserve is not part of the U.S. Federal government. But even fewer know that they have a machine-gun toting police force as well.

Governor Rick Scott signed legislation that will cut more than $121 million in taxes. This legislation creates a number of tax holidays including for the purchase of hurricane supplies, back to school supplies and energy efficient appliances. It means tax exemptions on child car seats, youth bicycle helmets, college meal plans, therapeutic pet foods and cement mixes and it reduces the taxes paid on electricity, according to May 12 statement from the Office of Governor Rick Scott.
In the statement, Governor Rick Scott was quoted as saying, "This year we worked to promote a $500 million reduction in taxes and fees because Florida families should keep more of the money they earn," said Governor Scott.
This legislation will help many businesses. "I think is good because now more people will have more money to spend and this means more money for businesses. This means businesses can hire more people," said Stephanie Anderson.

42 year old woman | The Woodlands, TX, USA | Seeking men 39-45 within 30 miles of Conroe, TX
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
Dating is difficult, always seem to meet the wrong person. But I guess going through lots of frogs tend to make the right one even more special. I am taking some time from training but will be back on the band wagon mid summer. I train for marathons and Triathlons. I am pretty regular person. I have two boys 17 and 9 and a 9 month puppy. It is high time swim season for spring summer league. We tend to be at the pool all week. When not at pool, I am hanging with friends and family, enjoying a beer or two, and enjoying the weather!! A few things about me: Dean and Rog in the Morning XM Radio XMU Dancing (I am a good follower in CW dancing) Beer is great (not budlight or coors but a great beer wall can be a huge turn on). I am not a beer snob to each their own. The smell of books makes me want to cuddle up and read I will try anything once and more if I like it. Dogs rather than cats Movies and pizza top the list Live music rules and Festivals ROCK I love a long run or bike ride on any given weekend anything in the rain can be a fun surprise Kissing in the rain is a must do! I always show up I always tell the truth (to a fault sometimes) I try to have a good time than a sour time in any given situation I am not the jealous type but might be "walk away" type I enjoy a good debate/discussion I don't always have to be right I don't eat many things in the white color foods category I bite my bottom lip when nervous or thinking really hard I love a good challenge and learning new things. Vampire Weekend: Step Girls: season two last episode ... Sometimes all she needs is for him to come to her rescue even though she doesn't think she needs rescuing! Dating at 40: Okay I thought I have seen it all. Popcorn in belly button (and he still ate it), smelly guy (not like smelly cat), serial daters, maybe a closet serial killer :/ Men who hum when they eat; mean who bring other women on the first date (back up plan/swingers??); Men with no teeth (should have figured that all pics were mouth closed); a man that I am pretty sure was a woman (nice person :)). Some of the dates, I went on a second date. Hahah... I am sure all you men out there have even more stories!! I like to think I am a regular person. I mean I get up everyday, take care of my kids, go to work (reluctantly, hahah), pay the bills, save money, workout, Laugh with my kids, visit friends. Sometimes I say silly things when I am tired, I am pretty sure I talk in my sleep (all the good secrets come out). I am told that I am very sweet and too nice. Is that really bad? I am pretty tolerant of all people good and bad. I am very forgiving. But I am strong, confident and very tenacious. I can argue with the best of them but in a tactful, fun and respectful way. Who would not love a good debate? I believe that if there is initial chemistry, connection and attraction, a relationship can be built and earned and actually workout. I think a person's faults can be acceptable if you are open, honest and true. I would love a guy who is strong and passionate. One that will support me in my dreams (not financially...i think i got that covered ;). and one that I can trust. Someone who is real and true to their values is important as well as someone who can make me laugh. Secretly, I watch old movie classics where the guy subtly makes a girl laugh with dry humor. Something intriguing about a man in suit. Sometimes I wish I was in my thirties in the 30's. It would not hurt if you are a great kisser. I am not a sappy girl or rather a girl who likes sappy stuff. But make no mistake, I am still a girl. Guys that are insecure with girls might find me difficult but I appreciate a guy who tries (we all have our insecurities). I am not one to make you feel vulnerable in them. Maybe I am sappy! Haha.

Watson: Olympics not the place for golf
Updated: December 4, 2012, 5:09 AM ETAssociated Press
SYDNEY -- Eight-time major winner Tom Watson says golf has no place at the Olympic Games.
Watson, who will play at the Australian Open this week for the first time since winning the tournament in 1984, told reporters Tuesday that he doesn't support golf's return to the Olympics in 2016.
"I still think of Olympics as track and field and not golf to be honest with you," he said. "I don't want to pour cold water on it, but I don't think it should be in the Olympic Games."

Technical Specifications
- Model Name: 92295A
- Page Yield (?):
Page Yield is an approximation of the number of standard pages that can be printed with one cartridge, usually measured at 5% page coverage. 5% coverage is a standard 8.5 x 11 inch page with a light letterhead, address and three paragraphs of text double spaced. If you print mixed text and graphics or WebPages your page coverage is closer to 15% and therefore the number of pages printed with each cartridge will be less. If you are printing photos your page coverage is close to 100% and the number of printed photos will be much less than the amount the number of pages you would be able to print if you were just printing standard text documents.

- Cost Per Page: 1.22 cents
- Shelf Life: 24-36 Months
- Capacity (ml): N/A
- Item Code: 92295A
- Warranty: Two Years
Compatible Printer List:
Many consumers are worried if the use of compatible or aftermarket printing supplies will void their printer's warranty. The answer is no.
More simply put, this means that your printer warranty cannot be voided just because you choose to use compatible products unless the manufacturer can prove that the compatible product caused direct damage to your printer. In cases such as this, the manufacturer may choose not to repair your printer but your warranty would remain in effect for all other warranty issues.

Hiroki Kuroda in demand, but still undecided
Jul 25, 2011, 6:03 PM EDT
Hiroki Kuroda loves Los Angeles. What's still to be decided is how much he loves being a Dodger.
A baseball official with the all-to-common "knowledge of the situation" told ESPNNewYork.com's Andrew Marchand that Kuroda will consider waiving his no-trade clause if presented with a deal to the Yankees or the Red Sox.
MLB.com's Peter Gammons, responding to Rotoworld's tweet on the subject, tweeted back that "he hasn't made (a) decision."
Besides the Rockies' Ubaldo Jimenez, who still seems like a major long shot to be dealt, Kuroda is the top starter available in trade talks. The 36-year-old right-hander is 6-12 this season, but his ERA stands at 3.19 and he has a 97/33 K/BB ratio in 127 innings.
Interesting is that Yankees catching prospect Austin Romine is out of Double-A Trenton's lineup for the second straight night tonight. He's believed to be healthy, so it could be a sign that he's involved in some pending deal. He's likely someone the Dodgers would be interested in.
Kuroda has also been mentioned as a possibility for the Tigers, Indians and Rangers.

Hope something happens. Dodgers need a catcher……..and a third baseman……..and a first baseman……..and a left fielder………………………………………………..

I thought the Yankees and Boston would have learned about Asian pitchers, but if a150,000,000. mil. beating combined for both teams isn't enough of a lesson nothing will teach these two teams. This guy is no kid, he's 36 years old, as my neighbor that was raised in Oklahoma used to say:" those boys got no learn in em." A little raw with the grammar, but the point is made.

Ethnocentric and East Coast bias wrapped up in one stupid paragraph. Way to go.
- pisano - Jul 26, 2011 at 10:43 AM
Has nothing to do with ethnicity idiot, it has to do with the history of pitchers from Asia not holding up to the rigors of the major leagues. When most of these pitchers come here they have alot of innings under their belt and their preparation is much different than ours. You can count on one hand how many have been successful in the U.S. So before you start stating your ignorant opinion, do a little research and know what your writing about.

Banks headed the first and sealed victory with a close-range finish after Armand Gnanduillet had put Chesterfield two up in the 73rd minute.
The Spireites were the better side in the first half, with Jay O'Shea almost catching Josh Lillis out with a shot from inside his own half, and deserved the lead Banks gave them in added time when he headed in a Gary Roberts cross at the near post.
Ian Henderson thought he had equalised in the 52nd minute but referee Christopher Sarginson ruled offside after consulting with an assistant and Henderson was frustrated again when he struck a post six minutes later.
The game flowed from end to end until Jimmy Ryan found Roberts on the right and his low cross was swept home from 10 yards by Gnanduillet.
Any hopes Rochdale had were ended in the 79th minute when Roberts capped a fine display with another pinpoint pass to send Banks in on the right for his second.

Engineer's Point Loma home earns a Platinum rating for its minimal impact on the environment
The living and dining area open to the full height of the dome. The dome's white walls contrast with the warm, earthy colors of the interior walls and floor that range from moss green to rusty red and a golden brown.
"I like dark, rich colors," said Brody, who picked the color scheme with the help of interior designer Denise Homme.
"It's a fun space," Homme said. "Hal is an incredibly imaginative man. He is a free thinker."
Furniture, lighting and arched doorways reflect the flowing lines of the dome. The many round edges are mixed with unusual geometric angles formed by the walls.
Delicate, shell-like sconces and a central mobile with three lamps add movement and light. The pieces, designed by William Leslie, are made from reed and paper and painted with zero-VOC, flame-resistant liquid.
Brody built the rounded, three-piece living room table and the oval dining room table out of PaperStone, a material made from 100 percent recycled paper sheets that have been saturated in resin and then fused to create a variety of thicknesses depending on the use. The same material is used for the kitchen counters, which follow the sweeping curve of the dome. The nonporous material is easy to shape, Brody said, so he could reduce costs by installing the countertops himself.
The dark counters and dark-gray and black recycled glass tile backsplash contrast with the kitchen's bold green walls and light cabinets, which are made from wheat board with a bamboo facing.
Instead of doors, Brody separates rooms and creates closet space with curtains.
"I don't like doors," he said. "Curtains are nice, neat and beautiful — and less expensive."
Steel stairs, coated in a bright red, lead to the second-floor loft with an office, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The hand-forged steel railings are stylized after the vines on the ceiling, creating a delicate pattern in a copper hue.
While the office space is in an open area overlooking the living room below, the two bedrooms have a semi-loft design — they have walls for privacy, but open to the dome above.
The two identical bathrooms — one upstairs and one downstairs — come with large two-headed showers, which have the feel of wood-paneled saunas. The stain-resistant paneling, known as recycled plastic lumber, is actually made from, recycled No. 2 plastic. Each bathroom also comes with two sinks and a separate toilet.
But the most important green feature in the home, Brody said, is the radiant heating in the floor. The hydronic system pumps water, heated with solar panels, through tubes embedded in the floor. The warmth it creates "is like standing out in the sun," he said.
"Radiant heat lets you open up your design," Brody said. Unlike forced air heat, there's no need to worry about warm air rising to the top, leaving a cold room below, or about ducts, which take up space and can cause health problems if mold and bacteria get in the ductwork.
Radiant floor heating also eliminates the need for carpeting, which would insulate the heat, Brody said. He has stained concrete on the bottom floor and Marmoleum tiles on the second floor. Marmoleum is based on the original linoleum recipe using materials such as linseed oil, flaxseed, natural rosins and wood flour.

New Jersey accountants teach financial independence to young people
by AccountingWEB on printer friendly
Fostering students' understanding of personal finance and individual responsibility is important. No one understands that better than the New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants (NJSCPA). That's why the NJSCPA is partnering with Junior Achievement of New Jersey (JANJ) to present the Annual Accountants/CPA Bowling Party, an industry-wide fundraiser that engages employees, company leadership, and members of the industry to come together for a common cause.
"Supporting Junior Achievement of New Jersey (JANJ) and the Annual Accountants/CPA Bowling Party fundraiser is part of the NJSCPA's ongoing commitment to increasing financial literacy in New Jersey and providing Garden State residents with information they can use to manage their finances successfully," said Don Meyer, director of communications and marketing for the NJSCPA.
Junior Achievement is the world's largest organization dedicated to educating students about work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs. These lessons include how to make money and how to manage it. In turn, students take learned skills and apply them to their everyday life.
According to Dawn Schwartz, vice president of development for Junior Achievement of New Jersey, who better to teach financial literacy education and bring financial programs to kids than accountants?
"The people in the accounting industry obviously see the relevancy of the importance of financial literacy. The impact they could have starting with kids as early as kindergarten is going to make a difference in everyone's future," she said. "Junior Achievement's mission is to give kids the tools to succeed in the future and understand the greater economy. The accounting industry is an excellent partner because they value the relevancy of financial literacy."
NJSCPA's relationship with JA is pretty new, but five years ago, they were involved with the Annual Bowl-A-Thon. But, this is the first time that the Society and JA are partnering to create a JA Day volunteer effort across the state in local schools.
"The JA Day gives NJSCPA members the unique opportunity to teach Junior Achievements financial literacy and workforce readiness curriculum to New Jersey youth," Meyer said.
According to a recent press release, several accounting firms, Crowe Horwath, Ernst & Young, KPMG, PwC, and Sax Macy Fromm are sponsoring the event. Participating companies will form teams of six people who will raise and collect pledges prior to the event. Meyer says many of the participants return each year because it is great for morale, and management sees it as a team-building experience for everyone involved.
In addition, Meyer also believes the event is a powerful team-building experience as well as a memorable community service project, and it encourages members and accounting firms throughout New Jersey to participate in these worthwhile events. Money raised from this event will help fund a first-ever NJSCPA JA Day volunteer effort in elementary schools in Trenton, Edison, and West Orange.
"The mission of the accounting industry is so alive with Junior Achievement that it's such a natural reason to ensure financial accuracy and fiscal responsibility amongst our community," Schwartz said. "Who better to educate and inspire kids about being financial responsible individuals than accountants?"

Pretty sure the pun wasn't intended. Most people have either no idea or only the very vaguest notion that silver is in traditional film, and zero concept of it being integral to the image. Plus it's a common saying. But it's a nice unintended reference anyway.

If film were not somehow profitable, then Fuji would be running a loss, Ilford would be running a loss and several companies in Europe with plans to expand their film and paper coating facilities would be in trouble. As this is NOT the case, we can safely assume there is some degree of profit to be made.
Yes, Kodak has to do better! Yes, profit margins are thin. But, even if Motion Picture collapses there is still a market. Kodak has the most modern and best facility for this purpose in the world and a huge body of trained people to call on here! So, it can be done. But to have someone say that they will fail or that there is no profit is premature.
I think that the other companies I mentioned would dispute that foregone conclusion of failure on Kodak's part.

In fact, I think that the film division represents a major portion of the Kodak land ownership and personnel. However, to answer another question, I doubt if they would ever bring back B&W paper, as the entire plant has been demolished. It is like being in a time machine running backwards and looking at Kodak Park implode.
I'm glad someone could decipher what "fir a kibg tune" was supposed to mean. I'm guessing "for a long time?" I noticed my iPhone often wants to write "fir" when I meant to type "for" and doesn't recognize it as a typo since it's a real word. "kib" are each one letter removed from "lon" and "tune" would be an autocorrect for a mistyped "time." Hum, guess I did decipher it.
A shame there likely won't be more Ektalure, but that was gone before other paper and maybe the inability to use cadmium now limited it anyway. Elite was nice but we have plenty of excellent graded papers, and even more excellent VC papers. About the only Kodak B&W paper I personally miss and don't have a substitute for is Panalure (the last version, which was actually quite good) and that's because I shoot a fair amount of color negatives, often find ones I'd like to print in black and white, and no one else makes a panchromatic paper for doing so.
Simon, are you listening? Any chance Ilford could make a panchromatic B&W paper for that? Foma folks??
Maybe, if they want to keep making money on traditional materials, it might not be too much to hope for RA4 paper cut into sheets? Surely they still have, or could get or lease, cutting and packing equipment, and they do still make the paper.

Colbert's notion of "truthiness" is shot through most discussions on film profitability at Kodak here on APUG. Better yet, Ken Kesey's "But it's the truth even if it didn't happen," seems equally appropriate.
Good grief man, give it a rest. I'm sorry your mother didn't give you any toys to play with but that's no reason to keep telling everyone else that all their toys are being taken away.
I hear and recognize the logic in much of what you are saying but the combination of the excess mood of gloom in which it's delivered and the repetitive drum beat just turn it into a tired wail that starts to read like Charlie Brown's teacher sounds - here come CGW and Aristophanes again to try to rain on the parade, "wahwahwah, wahwahwah, wahwahwahwaaaa.."
That is what happens when you touch type and your fingers go astray!
Sorry. I'll be sorry for a kibg tune.

Sorry the news isn't cheerful but changing the parade route and burying your head in the sand aren't exactly solutions. But if you're OK with "truthiness," then it's "problem solved."
I definitely agree that Kodak could manufacture film for a profit for a kibg tune. They'd have to figure out how to shed their various other liabilities though. That's what chapter 11 is for.

Interestingly, I received an email from Freestyle yesterday that discussed film and included:
Kodak's sales in their film division increased 20% last year, and this division continues to be a profitable segment. They have billions of dollars in assets. Citicorp Group just gave them $950 million to help fund their restructuring efforts which will continue for 18 months.
Sounds like Kodak will be around for a while longer and that Citicorp is pretty sure they are going to get their money back with interest. The film division seems to be doing quite well and may even prosper under new management as a separate entity. Regardless of what happens, Freestyle is prepared to make a sizable investment in product to keep important products available for years to come.
I'm already unhappy about Plus-X fading, but maybe Tri-X will keep on keepin' on!

Sizable buy for years to come? Freestyle for the win - I liked supporting them already in spite of spendy shipping costs from the west coast and paper prices higher than NY (but with different selection and the only source for Adox paper.) But this is a good sign from them.
I like and miss Plus-X but like FP4+ just fine. I picked up some Arista "Premium" rebranded 35mm Plus-X. They still have it, albeit in 24 exposure loads only (which I often prefer anyway) for $1.89. Wish I could get some in 120 without spending crazy eBay prices, but FP4+ does nicely for me.
Tri-X is a different matter and I'd miss it greatly. HP5+ is a fine but very different film. I'd miss Tri-X a lot.
You can make a profit on any product as long as your expenses are lower than your revenues. Elementary, right?
For film to survive, all of the excess expenses have to be removed from the equation. Paying people who no longer work for Kodak isn't going to be possible if Kodak film is to survive. The pension is a thing of the past, unless, of course, you work for the government.

OUSTON (ICIS)--BioNitrogen plans to issue tax-exempt bonds to develop a urea plant in the Pointe Coupee Parish in Louisiana, following a $300m (€219m) allocation it received from a state commission, the fertilizer producer said on Thursday.
The allocation is coming from a $1.25bn bond issued by the Louisiana State Bond Commission, which was finalised in August, to help BioNitrogen build five plants within the region.
BioNitrogen converts biomass into urea through a gasification technology process and catalytic conversion.
Currently the company is designing a similar plant facility for ?xml:namespace>

Douglas Back in Saddle as New Year Begins
Jockey Rene Douglas, banned from Calder Race Course in south Florida for unknown reasons, was back in the saddle Jan. 1, riding James DiVito-trained Gostoso to a seventh-place finish in the seventh race at Hawthorne.
Despite action by Calder officials to bar Douglas from riding, Hawthorne management permitted him to ride at the Illinois track. But Jan. 1 was also the last day of Hawthorne's winter meet (their spring meet begins Feb. 24), leaving the jockey to continue his search for welcoming tracks after Gulfstream Park officials said they would honor Calder's ban.
Gulfstream Park will also enact its right as a private property owner to prohibit jockeys banned from Tampa Bay race track and Philadelphia Park from riding on the premises.
"We can't operate blindly," Hawthorne track president Tim Carey had previously said about the decision to permit Douglas to ride. "Unless we are given a ruling, or are presented significant information on the issue that is preventing the riders in question from being allowed to compete at these tracks, we will not pass judgement. They will be viewed in good standing."
Douglas and Jose Bracho were ruled off at Calder on Dec. 15 and 16, respectively, Jorge Bracho, Bell, Castillo, Delgado, Houghton, Judice and Valdes were banned from Tampa Bay Downs on Dec. 19, and Beitia was denied access by Philadelphia Park on Dec. 19.
Herbie Rivera, a representative for the Jockeys' Guild, said some of the jockeys ejected from Tampa are pursuing employment as exercise riders in an effort to make ends meet, while others are sitting tight as recommended by their legal counsel.

Romeo Beckham
Showing off two of his most valuable assets, David Beckham flaunted his toned body while playing for the L.A. Galaxy at the Home Depot Centre in Los Angeles, CA on Friday (June 23).
The 37-year-old soccer stud was spotted working his moves on the field while his two sons Brooklyn and Romeo were up in the stands cheering on their dad to a 3-0 victory against the Vancouver White Caps.
Cheering on the hometown team, David Beckham was spotted watching the NHL Playoffs with his sons at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California last night (June 11).
In a plain grey tee-shirt, the soccer superstar laughed and chatted with his trio of boys, Cruz, Romeo and Brooklyn, as they snacked on nachos and ice cream while watching the L.A. Kings whiz around the rink.
Posing for photos at the 7th Anniversary Sports Spectacular in Los Angeles, CA last night (May 20), Victoria and David Beckham looked lovely with their three adorable young sons.
The Beckham boys were looking sharp as they posed with their superstar parents, each in their own monochromatic outfits. The oldest of the trio, Brooklyn, 13, matched his dad in a white shirt and black pants while Romeo, 10, sported a black sweater over his attire.
Treating their good-looking family to a St. Patrick's Day outing, David and Victoria Beckham had all four kids in tow for a lunch and shopping excursion in Santa Monica, CA on Saturday (March 17).
The L.A. Galaxy star toted baby Harper Seven in his arms as his fashionista wife and three sons, Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn, walked alongside while grabbing a bite to eat at Tsujitsa Artisan Noodles.
David Beckham put down the soccer ball to take his three boys, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, to the 2nd Annual Cartoon Network Hall of Game Awards on Saturday evening (February 18).
The L.A. Galaxy star posed in the press room wearing a red and white checkered shirt with dark jeans and brown shoes at Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California.
Not that he has any trouble getting attention, but David Beckham certainly attracted the spotlight with the help of his two sons at The 2011 Sun Military Awards in London, England on Monday (December 19).
The soccer stud dad and Brooklyn and Romeo all suited up and looked absolutely adorable together as the posed for pictures on the red carpet at the Imperial War Museum.
She's a working mother of four, and Victoria Beckham recently gushed about her children - the lights of her life.
The fashion designer and her hottie hubby, David Backham, have three sons – Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, Cruz, six - and their latest addition, daughter Harper Seven.
It was a big night at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, as David Beckham and his LA Galaxy squad won the 2011 MLS CUP.
The English soccer stud looked elated as he celebrated on the pitch with his sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz after defeating the Houston Dynamo with a final score of 1-0.
Taking their daughter to watch her daddy in action, Victoria Beckham and baby Harper were spotted at David's soccer game in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday night (October 16).
The designer fashionista fed the family's latest addition a bottle of milk as they cheered on the L.A. Galaxy squad at the Home Depot Center venue.
Enjoying some rough-and-tumble time with dad, Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn hit a Los Angeles, California soccer field with proud papa David Beckham on Sunday (October 9).
The LA Galaxy stud took to the practice center to help his trio of boys brush up on their footwork, but soon found himself in a wrestling match with 9-year-old Romeo and 6-year-old Cruz.

Ardenvoir to Chelan
The ride from Chumstick was hot. As soon as we got off the FS road we stopped at Entiat River to cool down and figure out what the plan was. We headed into Ardenvoir and grabbed a bite and some gas at Coopers Cafe, home of the Swallow Fest!
This is a great place to stop, the food was good and the air conditioning was welcoming. If you stop there ask to see the Swallow Fest picture albums (its not what you think). There's a lot of cool pictures that go back to the 70's when they started the festival.
While eating in Ardenvoir we discovered there was a fire east of the area we were heading. We heard that they had it under control and decided to make a run for it.
After gassing up it was off to Chelan, but first the Ducati wanted to take a nap again as SaltyDave turned onto Mud Creek Road. That's lay down number 3, but who's counting. After getting the bike upright, we were off...again.
Along 8410
Baldy Springs on 8410
View of 8410 below
Things were going great and we were making good time until the Ducati got a flat. No worries we had a plug kit, it will just take a few minutes to plug it and back on our way.
Here's SaltyDave plugging the tire the first time.
The tire was plugged and we were on our way....for about 50 feet until the plug blew out. Bike went back up on the center stand and the plug kit came out again. The tire got plugged and we were on way again. So we thought....another 50 feet another plug.
This time we thought it might be the Green Slime that Salty put in earlier to help with the leak. Somehow it was too viscous and caused the plug to slide out. We needed something to hold the plug into place to just try to limp out of there.
We came up with 30mph duct tape and a plastic water bottle. We cut a piece of the water bottle out and taped it onto the tire over the plug then proceeded to wrap the tire several times with the tape. We filled the tire up and listened for leaks. We didnt hear any leaks so headed on for about 50 feet and checked it again, no leaks. SaltyDave rode slowly about another 15-20 miles on that duct taped tire with no problems. As soon we got to the hwy we checked it again then made some calls and limped another 25 miles into Chelan.
Backwoods tire repair.
My KLR waiting for tire fix #3. Notice the smoke from the fire on the left side of the mountain closest to us.
FS 8410 overlooking Lake Chelan
Finally we got into Chelan at about 10:30pm. SaltyDave knew his tire was done and decided to stay at a friends and look for a place to patch his tire in the morning. Since it was so late, PK and I found a spot at Lakeshore RV park, made dinner in the dark, had a swig or 2 of whisky then got some well deserved sleep.

No speculation in market for HDB shops: MND
THERE is no evidence of speculation in the market for HDB shops, the Ministry of National Development (MND) said in a written parliamentary reply today.
It revealed that of the 216 HDB shops sold this year, only 14 - or 6 per cent- were resold within one year of purchase.
"This does not suggest a speculative element in HDB shops," MND said in reply to a question from Sembawang GRC MP Ong Teng Koon.
Prices for industrial and commercial property have risen rapidly this year, and some analysts have suggested that the speculative activity has spread to "mom and pop" HDB shops.

DENTON Police in Denton said a 10-year-old boy who vanished overnight with his babysitter was found safe.
Denton County sheriff's deputies pulled the woman over for a traffic stop in Bolivar in unincorporated Denton County. The boy was a passenger in the vehicle.
Jake Davis is being returned to his family. Denton police said he 'was not injured in any way.'
According to police, Jake Davis' mother and boyfriend went out and left their son with another couple who were friends. While there, Brandi Diane Williams, 20, said she was going to the store and Davis offered to go with her.
Police said the woman, who has a history of drug use, never returned to the house.
Authorities said they were alerted that the child was missing at about 6 a.m. An Amber Alert was issued just before 2 p.m.
Authorities are still investigating the case. We'll have any updates as they develop.

Rocky Flats still off-limits during National Wildlife Refuge Week
This is National Wildlife Refuge Week, and the feds are encouraging you to "see what wildlife refuges are doing to conserve America's wildlife heritage." But when I asked if I could see Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge, the regional U.S. Fish & Wildlife office declined that request, and instead suggested a visit to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal.
That's one of 558 refuges in the national system (the Sangre de Cristo Conservation Area announced last month by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar was the most recent addition) started by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903. The Rocky Mountain Arsenal is one of the refuges closest to an urban area -- and it was the site's proximity to metro Denver that made it so attractive to the war effort during World War II, when the government needed a place to process weapons and bought up farms on the northeastern edge of Denver.
After the war, the Arsenal added commercial operations, largely run by Shell -- and when the state finally forced the feds to clean up the Superfund site to an appropriate level, it was a joint project between Shell and the U.S. Army. Today the Rocky Mountain Arsenal is a popular place to visit, with a newly spruced-up visitor's center and a website that bills it as "A Place for Wildlife and People," with this description:
Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge is one of the largest urban Refuges in the country. It is located just northeast of Denver and within a 30-45 minute drive from most metro areas. The Refuge supports more than 330 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish!
The explanation of Rocky Flats is much longer -- but then, people can't see the place for themselves, since the nuclear-weapons-plant-turned-wildlife-refuge has not yet opened -- and there is no scheduled opening date.
Rocky Flats is also close to the metro area -- sixteen miles upwind from Denver -- and its location was a draw when the feds decided to put the plutonium-trigger processing plant in Colorado back in 1951. It closed for good in 1989, after it was raised by the FBI, and although the cleanup was reportedly done years ago, Fish & Wildlife declined my request to visit the site.
But anyone can access this description on the official website:
Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge comprises much of the former Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site. The Rocky Flats Site played an important role in Cold War history as a Department of Energy-operated facility for the production of plutonium triggers for nuclear warheads. While Congress passed the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge Act in 2001, the site's industrial legacy required that cleanup actions were undertaken prior to its transfer to the National Wildlife Refuge System. The refuge entered U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service stewardship in 2007 following the EPA's determination that corrective actions had been completed.
Since that time, the refuge has remained closed to the public due to a lack of appropriations for refuge management operations, but it continues to protect important wildlife resources, including critical habitat for the federally threatened Preble's meadow jumping mouse. It also contains hundreds of acres of rare xeric tallgrass prairie, it is home to populations of state game species such as mule deer and elk, and it provides an important link between existing open space in the Denver metropolitan area
While you won't be able to visit Rocky Flats during National Wildlife Refuge Week, you can at least stop by the Rocky Flats Cold War Museum in Arvada, which isn't officially open but does have its first exhibition, by the Atomic Photographers Guild, titled Behind the Atom Curtain: Life and Death in the Nuclear Age . You can see the photo show between 1 and 4 p.m. Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays through November. Find more information here .
Twenty years ago, news was leaking out that Colorado's first-ever special grand jury had wanted to indict eight individuals for alleged environmental crimes at Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant. Two decades later, the grand jurors still can't talk about their deliberations -- but Westword did, breaking the original story in September 1992 and publishing an update in "Gag Reflex."

Micro-Transactions: A Slippery Slope
Posted on January 2, 2014 AT 10:01am
Having recently discussed at length the issues of micro-transactions in video game nowadays, it seems to me the most disturbing thing about it all is that the line of what is DLC and what is a micro-transaction is already becoming blurred. In that light, let me go right ahead and shine as bright a light on the difference between the two so we can know what is okay and what is trying to ruin gaming. Before I go into detail let me just provide what I think is a pretty solid line between the two: DLC is content not originally in a game that is permanently unlocked by a one-time payment; a micro-transaction is when money is payed to either to speed up the process of unlocking content or to obtain items/currency that can be used up.
Now that we have that out of the way, let's get into some examples here. DLC is a fantastic way to allow developers to increase the longevity of their game by continuing to put out content after the title has launched. Don't get me wrong, it's very easy for this to be exploited, especially when the content is available on day one and should have existed for everyone, but doesn't because of deals with retailer exclusive pre-order deals. By and large, this is mostly harmless though, because that content ends up being stuff like costumes and weapons skins. What we really think about when we consider DLC are the large-scale additions to the single and multi-player campaigns.
A great example of DLC done right is the Borderlands series. With the constant stream of high-quality DLC coming out for those games, they stayed relevant long after their initial launch. Not to mention the fact that the original package came with a healthy amount of content even without any of the downloadable extras. More and more we're also seeing standalone adventures built with the engine of a full-sized game as DLC. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is the perfect example: you don't even need the original game to play it, but the game would't have existed without the original title. DLC has its dark sides, but mostly it has found its stride in doing good things for gaming.
Now micro-transactions are a completely different story. They do have their place as well, but when people start to get greedy, they are far more easily abused and can harm the quality of the overall experience in games. Let's take a look at something like Candy Crush Saga to start. Your initial investment in the game is absolutely nothing, they are handing it to you for free. To either speed up your progress or aid you during rounds, you can purchase consumables to help get you through. Several people won't ever end up paying a dime and some will spend a healthy amount of money. This works out for the developer and ends up allowing them to make money on a product they initially released for free.
Here's where it starts to go a little wrong: at a certain point, it is in the developer's best interest to make the game less pleasant to play if you don't buy those consumables. I get it, you need to make them worth paying for, but there's a fine line here. The way this is most-often handled is with an "energy system" where you are given some sort of consumable energy that you need in order to play the game at all. You can either wait for it to refill, or purchase more for a small fee. Here's the problem though, if you're artificially amping up the difficulty in order to make the energy more appealing to purchase, what happens when you purchase energy and still don't progress because of the amped up difficulty? That's when it goes from understandable to a little shady.
The most disturbing part in all this is that these trends are starting to appear in games that weren't released for free. Let's take brand new next-gen game Forza Motorsport 5 for the Xbox One as an example. In this game, you earn new cars by earning money from races. Okay, so far that sounds pretty standard, no problems here, right? You can also get new car packs for a small fee. Okay, well that sounds like DLC, so that shouldn't be a problem, except for one small thing: it doesn't actually give the cars right away. The payment unlocks the ability to earn the cars with the in-game currency, not the cars themselves. Now add on the ability to pay for that in-game currency with real money and you've got yourself a shady-looking deal. With the fact that the amount of currency you unlock per race already having been increased to due outrage about this, it's already a problem. Your next question might be, but what's the problem if you didn't pay anything for this game? Let me tell you that despite how similar this micro-transaction model is to the free-to-play games, this title has an initial price tag of $60.
Some might say that the free-to-play model is simply the modern version of what used to be arcades. I would say that it is and it isn't. In one respect, arcade games are tuned to be particularly difficult so you will continue to feed quarters into the machine. Very similar indeed to the free-to-play model. The difference is that arcade games are not free, you have to put money into them in order to play them at all. They are never implying that the entire game can be enjoyed for free and the only thing you're paying for is the ability to continue playing when you lose. Still very similar, but a difference I think is worth noting.
When looking back at this year, these trends of free-to-play and micro-transactions have really started spiraling out of control and need to be halted as soon as possible. The best way to do this is to speak with your wallet. If a full-priced game has micro-transactions in it, either don't buy it at all or at least don't spend anything on those micro-transactions. If not, before you know it, you'll have to wait for your energy to refill before starting your next mission in Assassin's Creed.

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
I can play arcade games offline right?
I just moved to a new apartment and don't have Internet yet, but I wanted to get Trials EVO, so I just went back to my friends house and used their live to download it (on my HD and gamer tag of course, just used thir console so I didn't have to carry mine) and bought it/downloaded it to my HD, but it kind of hit me that I may not be able to play it without a wifi connection, I never didn't have XBL before so I never tested this. Any word on how that works?
The only games you must be logged in to XBL to play are indie games. I think it may be the same with original xbox games as well, or maybe it was you can't be in party chat for xbox originals. I've never played any so you'll want a second opinion on this one.

This is how their DRM works...
The license is stored on both the hardware it's bought on and your gamertag.
Everybody can use it on the hardware it was bought on.
If you try to use it on another hardware, like your own system because you used your friends hardware while buying it, then you must be logged in on Live with the gamertag that bought it to use it.
You can move the license to your hardware, it does however require you to be connected to Xbox Live with your console and logging in on xbox.com from a computer. You were able to do a license transfer once a year, they did however change it to... I think it's once every third or fourth month now...
So if you wanna play those games offline, you better move your system to your friend and borrow his computer.

Wait what is drm? And you're saying I won't be able to play my stuff unless I lug my console across the city to his house?
DRM (Digital Rights Management) is a class of access control technologies that are used by hardware manufacturers, publishers, copyright holders and individuals with the intent to limit the use of digital content and devices after sale.
You know how we were forced to write down a CD Key after installing PC games and each key was unique and nobody else could use the same key while playing online? Same thing.
Yes, you wont be able to play your XBLA games offline unless you do a license transfer.
GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC
Okay, we got my console, and I read on the site that you can DRM transfer via the console, so.. how exactly can I do that? Sorry for the stupidity, I thought everything was tied to your HDD (where you download the game too) and your GT so you can't just share it with everyone. This is a giant pain in the ass.
From: Foppe | #003
Nope. You can do through console as well now.
Six shots fired in London, all missed.
Police are looking to question Fernando Torres.
The only games you can't play offline are indy and certain Arcade games like Gotham City Imposters, Breach, etc. As for XBOX, you can play them offline but either way, you'll be signed out and offline until you go back to the dashboard(you'll also only get two options when pressinge the guide button;Y=Xbox home and 'shut down consle').
To do a license transfer from your console, go to the Settings tab, go to Account, and it is the bottom option on the first tab.
Also, the limit is 120 days, except under special circumstances and you call Xbox support to initiate one.
As for starting one from a pc, I don't even think that is possible anymore, unless I was just blind and missed it when I was looking around a few weeks ago (was trying to find out how long I had until I could do another one without having to go to my bedroom, turn on my 360, and wait for it to boot, since I was already on a computer), all the info on xbox.com I could find simply told me to do it through my 360.
