San Francisco - Amazon.com's willingness to gain customer loyalty by shouldering the costs of nationwide shipping and access to online movies has its limitations.
After a 20 percent jump in costs led Amazon to miss analysts' fourth-quarter profit estimates, the company said Thursday that it's considering raising the price of its $79-a- year Prime membership for the first time. That service, which includes two-day shipping and endless video streaming, may increase by $20 to $40 a year in the United States, the company said.
Amazon's expenses have been climbing as Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos pumps money into new initiatives like warehouses to speed shipments and research on home-delivery drones. While Bezos continues to tout "world-class customer service"-a phrase he used in Thursday's statement-there are limits to how much he's willing to subsidize users.
"They are launching drones for delivery, but when you miss earnings, investing in risky technology like that gets put on the back burner," said Gene Alvarez, an analyst at Stamford, Conn.-based researcher Gartner Inc.
Net income was $239 million, or 51 cents a share, the company said. Analysts on average had projected profit of 69 cents a share, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Operating costs climbed to $25.1 billion from $20.9 billion a year earlier.
Sales in the holiday quarter increased at the slowest rate since 2008. Revenue rose 20 percent to $25.6 billion, trailing the $26.1 billion average analyst estimate. The company's dominance of U.S. e-commerce isn't translating globally, with international sales growth slowing to 13 percent in the quarter from 21 percent a year earlier.
"What we see is continued growth, but a slowing rate of growth," said Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles.
Tom Szkutak, Amazon's chief financial officer, said on the conference call with analysts that the potential increase in Prime is the result of higher fuel and shipping costs. The company hasn't lifted the price since introducing the service nine years ago, he said.
"Customers like the service and they are using it a lot more," Szkutak said. He also said additions to Prime such as access to online movies and television shows, which the company must pay to acquire, is adding to the cost of the service.

3 Doors Down album news
does this band matter for anything besides kyrptonite
huge guilty pleasure band right here
oh god the lead singer looks awful
i really wonder if a band like this realizes how generic they are when they're making a song like this. like legit, i can't see how not one band member or producer realizes as they're recording this shit how corny and played out it is.
yeah, the song is incredibly "mainstream" in every way. I kind of liked it though, generic as it may be hahaha. like I said, huge guilty pleasure band.
They've gotten worse with every album.
this is definitely true
I forgot these guys even existed
Ooooh I can't wait...!!!
These guys used to rule...
Actually, this band has always been horrible.
"i really wonder if a band like this realizes how generic they are when they're making a song like
this. like legit, i can't see how not one band member or producer realizes as they're recording this
shit how corny and played out it is."
This, so much this. We'd have so much better music in the world if this nugget right here was true.
From the YouTube comments:
"to abbacullen - yeah lots of old people dont like this music but today i turned 53 and i still like my rock hard and heavy!!"
Fuckin' gold.

Digging: Tremonti - Cauterize
j/k, Dad thinks that song blows

Double-Action and Winter-Start in SNOW DOME Bispingen The Fall Weekend
Not only the diverse and newly arranged QParks set-up, but also the extensive program made more than hundreds of enthusiastic freestylers take part at the Fall Weekend. Last weekend in the SNOW DOME Bispingen let no space for autumnal depressions. On the contrary, the riders were extremely motivated looking ahead to a great weekend and in change rewarded the numerous spectators with stunning rides at the highest level. Besides well-known DOME locals centered around Torge Nagel, Jonel Fricke, Lars Scherneck and Moritz Nolting, also new faces, like the ISENSEVEN lads found their way to the SNOW Park Bispingen. No matter if at the park or at the after-parties: They all stepped on the gas properly. They have shown indeed, that the SNOW PARK Bispingen offers ideal pre-seasonal conditions for training and competition.

How President Bush's Executive Order on FOIA Failed to Deliver
"Many of the same old scofflaw agencies are still shirking their responsibilities to the public," said Tom Blanton, director of the Archive. "I'm reminded of how many psychiatrists it takes to change a light bulb - only one, but the light bulb has to really want to change."
The order set up Chief FOIA Officers at each of 90 federal agencies and asked for FOIA improvement plans from each agency. The Archive's Survey, the seventh in a series of unprecedented government-wide audits of FOIA performance, analyzed all the agency improvement plans, sent FOIA requests to all 90 agencies (plus 18 major agency components), and queried agency FOIA Service Centers and public liaison offices to test responsiveness.
The Knight Survey found across-the-board improvements in customer service for FOIA requesters based on the establishment of FOIA service centers, public liaisons, and chief FOIA officers as readily identifiable contacts for requesters across agencies.
But the survey found uneven progress and outright shortfalls on the problem of backlogs, because the order lacked any enforcement mechanisms or funding, and left goal-setting up to the agencies themselves. Two years into implementation of the order, the number of pending FOIA requests government-wide remains in the range of 200,000, with large variations between agencies, according to the Survey's analysis of agency plans and reports.
President Bush's order also prompted only limited improvement in compliance with the 1996 E-FOIA amendments, which require federal agencies to post certain records and FOIA guidance online.
"The order was only a small step for open government," remarked Meredith Fuchs, general counsel of the National Security Archive. "There are certainly mixed messages when the President asks for results under the Freedom of Information Act, and at the same time refuses to support funding of technology or personnel, opposes improvements to the law, and exempts parts of the Executive Office of the President from the law." In FOIA litigation involving the White House Office of Administration, the Office of Administration in 2007 began to claim that, despite processing FOIAs in the past, filing FOIA reports for Congress, and writing a FOIA improvement plan, it is not subject to FOIA.
"Freedom of information laws exist to provide American citizens with the facts they need to run their governments and their lives. Information may seem more plentiful these days, but that doesn't mean it's less important. Strong democracies are held together by the force of their facts," said Eric Newton, vice president of the journalism program at the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, funder of the Knight Open Government Survey.

I had my transmission changed 4 times at the Nissan dealer. The tranny was making this whining noise. Now on feb 13th a Thursday night I was backing into my driveway and the car just did not want to move anymore. I had to leave the in halfway in the street and get to towed to Nissan the next day. What was the problem? YUP you guessed it..THE DAMN TRANSMISSION AGAIN. [non-permissible content removed].
It is a real piece of junk. My transmission went out at 23k miles

SAN DIEGO - OCTOBER 31: Kenny Britt of the Tennessee Titans looks on from the sideline against the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium on October 31, 2010 in San Diego, California. The Chargers defeated the Titans 33-25. (Photo by Jeff Gross/Getty Images)
Titans' receiver Kenny Britt did not have a good week. First, he underwent knee surgery on his left knee, after previously having 2 knee surgeries on his right knee in a 10 month period. The knee surgery was minor as shouldn't cause him to miss any time, though another procedure like that is hardly good news. What could cause him to miss time is the fact that he was also arrested this week for DUI. That arrest brings his total up to 8 since entering the league in 2009. Though he's never been suspended, he easily could have been last season, after getting arrested 3 times last offseason. However, Roger Goodell decided to not to punish players for what happened during the lockout. This time around, he won't be so likely and if Goodell takes his whole history into account, including what happened during the lockout, it could be a lengthy suspension, up to 4 games even. Britt is an incredibly talented player who has caught 56 passes for 1146 yards and 12 touchdowns over his last 14 full...

I am assuming that Anne Hathaway wants to make us like her again, so she is going to appear on Spike TV's Lip Sync Battle this Thursday at 10p. The failed Oscar host is going to mouth Miley Cyrus' words. I hate to admit it, but she nails Wrecking Ball. I just hope that Emily Blunt does a better job than her, and wins the night.
Yesterday, was the premiere of Spike TV's Lip Sync Battle and The Rock rocked it! He mouthed the words to Taylor Swift's Shake It Off and even the haters can't hate hate hate it! And that is why he won the night!
Why hasn't one of the networks given him a variety show already and let him be him! Or at least why hasn't ABC locked DJ in to hosting the Oscars!
UPDATE: Below are the winners of the biggest awards show of its kind and what an awards show it was. Spike knows how to throw and an awards show better than any other network and the VGA 09 didn't disappoint. What I also love about Spike and why I think they get the huge names to present at their shows is that they honor things we care about that no one else does. Whether it is best horror or Sci Fi movie or TB show or best game, Spike honors what the average person cares about instead of artsy fartsy movies most people will never see!!!
Before yesterday's VGA 09 I have to admit I left gaming to my friends, but I have totally changed my opinion. All the game creators there were so cool and down to earth and made gaming sound cool that over the week I will be posting the interviews I did with.
Now when it comes to Spike on January 12th they will be debuting Blue Mountain State and I can't wait for this show that is so going to be touchdown!!! C'mon you gotta love a show where the mascot is a goat!!!

Tommy Stanley received his Best Boxer award from former Wycombe mayor Ian McEnnis.
Alan Feldberg / / Sport
HIGH Wycombe Boxing Club and Freemasonry in the Community hosted it's first boxing show at the town hall over Easter, with eight homegrown boxers fighting on a jam-packed bill.
Chanze Ballantyne was first up but after a bright start he was overpowered by Trevor Corcoran, who won by a split decision.
Daniel Burridge also lost out on the judges' decision in his bout with George Jowett of Southampton, but Tommy Stanley did win for Wycombe against Ned Connors.
It was Stanley's first competitive bout, but he battled to the last bell to win a split decision and also walk away with the Junior Boxer of the Night award.
Meanwhile, Kamal Brown lost a split decision to Kasim Shaf of Watford and Jack Durham missed out in another similarly close bout with Twickenham's Ryan Singleton.
However, Durham still did enough to earn a Home Counties call up alongside Stanley for their match in Guernsey next weekend.
In the senior section, Courtney Frimpong was back in the ring for the first time in more than a year but made a thrilling return to win a split decision against Jake Omera.
Frimpong was also named Senior Boxer of the Night.
Completing the full schedule, Brendon May was just too good for Luton's Zeshan Javid and Andy Tait stopped Karl Fisher.

Tim Geithner Met With Jon Stewart in Apparent Effort to Pump More Jokes into Nation's Economy
**Written by Doug Powers
On many an occasion I've surmised that there simply must be a comedian behind some of the financial decisions the Obama administration has made, but I honestly didn't believe that to be the case literally — until now:
In the midst of debates on financial regulation and China's currency in April, Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner sat down to discuss the U.S. economy — with comedian Jon Stewart.
Geithner and Stewart, host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," held an off-the-record meeting at Stewart's office in New York on April 2, according to Geithner's appointments calendar, updated through August on Treasury's website.
The two were privately planning the "Rally to Restore Insolvency" no doubt. A glance at Geithner's schedule, and sure enough, an hour and a half "off the record" meeting with Jon Stewart:
Stewart must have given Geithner a few killer jokes he had to later share with Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Schumer, et al.
This can't be a coincidence, because especially since that meeting, the management of the Treasury has been nothing short of hilarious.
Word of warning to Jon Stewart: There's no better way to invite an IRS audit than by spending 90 minutes "off the record" with Tim Geithner less than two weeks before tax returns are due.
Sister Toldjah brings it home:
Well, hey, what do you expect from an administration who is headed by a man who consulted with George Clooney about foreign policy as a candidate for President? Not only that, but this is the same administration that looked to director James Cameron for solutions to the oil spill crisis, and which takes to fluffy daytime and late night TV talk shows for a little "reputation rehab." It's all just one big happy "patriotic" family.
Because every celebrity administration has to have celebrity advisors. Right?

Need Factory Tonneau Pics
Hey guys, i just bought a factory 2006 fiberglass one-piece tonneau cover, but it was missing the hardware that allows it to lock.
I assume something will need to be bolted to the tailgate, but I'm needing a picture of someone's installed so i can try to fabricate a replacement. I poked around and didn't have much luck finding an installation kit or anything online.
Silence in this thread is deafening!
By factory, what do you mean? What's the actual brand name on the cover? (I have a black-belt in Google-fu! LOL)
Pretty much the same response everywhere lol. It's just the MOPAR factory option tonneau. Like this:
I called that company and left a message, but no-one has contacted me back. Makes me wary to buy anything else from them. :i_rolleyes:

Art Clokey received his undergraduate degree in 1943 from Pomona College in Claremont, California.
His pilot animation, The Clay Peacock, was an elaboration on the animated NBC logo of the time.
Art Clokey is also credited with the bizarre clay animation title sequence for the 1965 beach movie, Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine, starring Vincent Price and Frankie Avalon.
His son, Joe Clokey, continued the Davey and Goliath cartoon in 2004.
His adopted father's full name is Joseph Wandell Clokey.
His works are almost exclusively in clay animation.
The idea of Gumby's lop-sided head was inspired by a photo of Art Clokey's father when he graduated from high school. It has a picture of him with a cowlick on the top left side of his head.
Art Clokey brought back Gumby in the year 1988 with new episodes, revamped appearances, and developments.
When his daughter Ann died, he created a pilot episode, Mandala, as a tribute for her assistance.
Art Clokey usually refers his form of clay animation to be called "Pixellation".
His seven favorite Gumby episodes:
1) Robot Rumpus
2) In the Dough
3) The Groobee
4) The Witty Witch
5) Richocete Pete
6) The Small Planets
7) Hidden Valley
The pilot episode of Gumby that Art Clokey made had no audio recordings or background music.
His first clay animation Art Clokey made in 1953 was called Gumbasia.
Art Clokey married Gloria Clokey that October 23, 1976.
Art Clokey married Ruth Clokey in 1948. He had two children named Joe and Ann. Later, he and Ruth had a divorce in 1966.
Art Clokey also created Davey and Goliath. It was aired that January 1, 1960, which was four years after Gumby aired.
In 1995, Art Clokey created a clay-animated film, The Gumby Movie.
Art Clokey is the very first person ever to observe clay animation.
Art Clokey is also known as "Gumby's Dad".
Art Clokey first aired Gumby in the year 1956.

Movies That Inspired Travel in 2011
From The Descendants to Midnight in Paris, these 11 movies made us want to pack our bags in search of our own picture-perfect paradise.
Though Hawaii often serves as a beautiful background in movies, The Descendants offers us an insider's view of the "real" Hawaii -- a paradise, yes, but also one that still has domestic dramas and real estate wars just like mainland US. But we still have plenty of reason to dream about the state's warm blue waters and pristine beaches. 960 1280
In Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, the City of Lights gets even more bewitching when the clock strikes midnight. For lucky Gil Bender, this is the magic hour when he can walk into 1920s Paris to muse with the day's most famous writers and artists over aperitifs and jazz. But Paris will always be magical to us, no matter the era. 960 1280
With the success of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, Stockholm has seen a rise in tourism. Droves of fans have been heading to Sweden's capital to search out the locations used in Stieg Larsson's dark crime thrillers, even if some places don't exist at all. 960 1280
In the film Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, we see contrasting scenes of both 19th-century and present-day Shanghai. With beautiful scenes of both periods, we're equally inspired to see the temples and Chinese gardens of old Shanghai, as well as the designer hotels and metropolis cityscapes of the modern city. 960 1280
What do Harry Potter fanatics do after all the movies are over? Hop on a broomstick, naturally, and fly to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, a theme park at the Universal Orlando Resort. Or visit locations such as the Alnwick Castle in England, a backdrop in the first 2 movies. 960 1280
Soul Surfer is more than just another surf-and-travel movie; it's not just about searching for the perfect wave. It tells the inspiring tale of 13-year-old Bethany Hamilton, a young surfer who lost her arm in a shark attack. Whether or a not you surf, you'll feel drawn to the waves and the film's location in Kauai, HI. 960 1280

Hotel Estoril PalacioBefore the opening credits rolled in the 1969 Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the Palacio Estoril was where the luxurious hotel scenes were filmed.

Monastery of the Holy TrinityThe Monastery of the Holy Trinity in Meteora -- above Kalambaka, Greece -- served as a location shoot in the 1981 Bond flick For Your Eyes Only. A Greek bishop was paid to allow filming in the monasteries. Rumor has it that actor Roger Moore had a great fear of heights, and to do the climbing, he resorted to moderate drinking to calm his nerves. We're just wondering if it was shaken, not stirred. 960 1280

Fracking's future still on hold
The "fracking revolution" — improved hydraulic fracturing techniques — has liberated enormous quantities of crude oil, and especially natural gas, from previously uneconomic deposits trapped deep underground in isolated pockets within sedimentary rock known as shale. The resulting abundance of low-cost natural gas has transformed North American producers of resins such as polyethylene, which are favored by lighter natural gas-based feedstocks, into some of the most cost-competitive producers in the world.

|ESPN.com: Wimbledon 2009
|[Print without images]
"The Integrity Unit is obliged to look at it, but if I were in [unit head] Jeff Rees' shoes, I wouldn't look at it very long," Davies told ESPN.Tennis increased the attention it pays to allegations of match-fixing and players betting on the sport since Betfair voided all wagers on a 2007 match between fourth-ranked Nikolay Davydenko and 87th-ranked Martin Vassallo Arguello after suspicious betting patterns emerged. The players were cleared by an ATP investigation.
"This is nothing like the Davydenko match," Davies told ESPN.After Tuesday's betting received widespread coverage in British media, match-fixing was again a hot topic at Wimbledon. "It has no place in tennis, those kinds of things," Roger Federer said when asked about possible corruption. "But it's hard to control. But I'm sure the ATP and the ITF, we're trying our best to catch those guys, if there are any out there. I think we should have massive bans on those who get caught so they get really scared of doing it." Information from The Associated Press and Willie Weinbaum of the ESPN Enterprise Unit was used in this report.

Hamas has, in fact, tried to receive arm shipments from the sea, only to be thwarted by Israel. If Hamas had succeeded, virtually every city in Israel would fall within range. Egypt, too, fears Hamas as a wing of the militant Muslim Brotherhood, and understands that the blockade is a matter of paramount national security. The Palestinian Authority also realizes that a resurgent Hamas poses a mortal threat to its survival and a certain end to the peace process.Since the Marmara episode, Israel has come under immense pressure to submit to an international inquiry Such a panel, drawn from countries hostile to Israel, could hardly be expected to be balanced. They would also violate Israel's right - indeed, its duty - as a democratic state to investigate itself. Still, the Israeli government is considering some degree of international consultation under an authoritative Israeli inquest. We are also open to ideas from the United States and other friendly nations on ways to address the needs of Gaza's population with Israel's vital security interests.We in Israel understand the difficulty of explaining our need to monitor the sea lanes to Gaza and maintain pressure on Hamas to free captured soldier [Gilad Shalit]. It is, to say the least, unpleasant to confront charges of piracy and violations of international law. We know that confronting Hamas is essential for our safety and for the success of negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. Because of our steadfastness, Hamas' popularity in Gaza has plummeted in recent months. That is a trend that, in spite of its costs, must be embraced by all who care about Israel and peace.

NORMAN – Asked Monday about his right knee, Oklahoma rover Tony Jefferson sort of winced. He tweaked it during the loss to Texas Tech, missing chunks of the game as a result.
OU football notebook: Sooners' Tony Jefferson shaking effects of dinged up knee
Jefferson limped around in practice last week and fought to play in the win against Kansas State. He played well, too, despite the injury. Jefferson recorded six tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.
"Oh, yeah. It was tough to fight through, through the week," Jefferson said. "I wasn't quite sure how it was going to feel, but it felt better on Saturday and I just fought through it."
Jefferson said his knee is "feeling much better, way better" this week.
"You've just got to rub some dirt on it," the sophomore said.
Sophomore receiver Jaz Reynolds said some fans have started calling his hands "Jaz Hands." Whatever you call them, Reynolds' oversized right mitt helped him snare a Landry Jones touchdown pass against K-State.
The one-handed grab was featured on ESPN's "SportsCenter," among other highlight programs.
"We don't teach guys to do it, but it happens," receivers coach Jay Norvell said of one-handed catches. "It's not like we practice them. … Most special receivers have pretty good-sized hands."
Norvell repeated what he said after the game Saturday about Kenny Stills. The sophomore receiver was involved in fewer plays as a result of increased substitution. Stills was not injured, he said.
"That's just something we wanted to do," Norvell said. "Kenny was fine."
Stills was sometimes stationed on the sideline, in favor of Trey Franks and Dejuan Miller.
Franks had one catch for 9 yards. Miller had three catches for 42 yards and a touchdown.

Miami Beach HotelsWith long sandy beaches and clear blue seas, Miami Beach is a tropical paradise, complete with palm trees and balmy weather all year round. On a strip of land, parallel to the city of Miami, the area feels like an island, complete with luxurious resorts and restaurants overlooking the sea. At night, the area hosts some of the most exclusive nightclubs in the world, becoming a playground for the rich and famous. Things to seeWander down Ocean Drive during the day and you'll see beautiful people enjoying the white sandy beach, with rollerbladers and joggers sharing the sidewalk. Take a seat outside one of the upmarket pavement cafes or restaurants, and you can enjoy watching the shady palms and the calm blue ocean from your vantage point. At night, the Art Deco buildings are lit by neon, and the area becomes a buzzing social hive. The North Miami area is home to Surfside Beach, a wide, white-sanded beach which is a quieter alternative to the more central beaches. The Port of Miami is known as the cruise capital of the world, and you'll see many of the giant cruise ships departing for voyages around the Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexico, and beyond, giving passengers on board a breathtaking view of the skyline as the ship pulls away. Lincoln Road Mall is a palm tree lined, pedestrianized street full of upscale stores, boutiques, art galleries, and sidewalk cafes, giving it a laidback vibe both day and night. If you need some time for quiet contemplation, Miami Beach Botanical Garden is an urban greenspace that's free to enjoy. Wander around enjoying the fragrance of exotic flowers, take a yoga class in beautiful surroundings, or simply sit under a tree and take in the abundant horticulture of the area. Hotels in Miami BeachLuxury hotels in Miami Beach are often found along the beachfront, with many resorts offering swimming pools, health spas, steam rooms, and concierge services, so you can sit back and enjoy your vacation time. Guestrooms will offer amenities such as air conditioning, minibars, coffee makers, premium bedding, and bathrobes. Many of the Art Deco buildings of the South Beach area have been turned into boutique hotels, offering oversized bathtubs, individual interior design, room service, and free WiFi. There are also budget hotels and hostels a couple of blocks away from the beach, offering clean, comfortable rooms with cable television and free toiletries. Where to stayThe South Beach neighborhood is famous for its lively nightlife, stretches of sandy beach, and diverse population. During the day you'll see vacationing families enjoying the beach and the eclectic attractions along the seafront, and at night the area becomes all about fun, with clubs and restaurants lit up along the coast. The Miami Beach area has a distinctive, modern skyline, with glimmering skyscrapers, and high-rise buildings everywhere you look. However, as you get closer, you'll notice a lot of Art Deco influences wherever you go, and this gives many of the streets a quirky, unique feel. How to get to Miami BeachThose visiting as part of a cruise itinerary will arrive via the Port of Miami, an impressive facility capable of holding even the largest cruise liners, and welcoming all the biggest name operators. There are convenient taxi links between the airport and the cruise ships, and some tour operators will book your shuttle as part of the package. Haulover Park Marina is an ideal spot for independent sailors to dock, as it's conveniently located in the north end of the city. Miami, FL (MPB-Public Seaplane Base) can be found between the city of Miami and the Miami beach area, and as well as being open for public use, you can book rides to see the area from a new perspective.
