A lot of different octopus legs to follow on this PHS story.

Years of tension preceded current messy situation between PHS Community Services and province
March 18th, 2014 · No Comments
Everyone's waiting for the axe to fall any day now on PHS Community Services Society, the DTES non-profit started by Mark Townsend and his wife, psychiatric nurse Liz Evans, 20 years ago. Housing Minister Rich Coleman has given more than one news conference saying "documents will be coming" and making references to financial irregularities at […]

NDP plans to create more low-cost housing but it won't be the subsidized social housing of the Harcourt/Clark years
May 8th, 2013 · 9 Comments
As many in the media have noticed, there's been almost no discussion of social issues like health, education, the income gap, or housing in this election campaign. LNG, yes. Rent supplements or welfare rates, no. So here's something that helps flesh out where the two major parties stand on housing and renter/landlord issues.

The Bosman Hotel has, for the last three years, essentially provided a mini-Riverview ward for those who need it in the middle of the downtown. It worked so well that even downtown business groups are worried about what will happen if it is simply shut down with no reasonable alternative for the most troubled of […]

Addiction treatment a hot business in B.C. as thousands look for help
August 10th, 2010 · 10 Comments
For years I covered drug-addiction issues in the Downtown Eastside and people would inevitably talk about the lack of addiction treatment in the province. Other critics would also say that, out of Vancouver's alleged Four Pillars approach to drugs, only one pillar was really getting funding: harm reduction. That always puzzled me because a lot […]

Coleman says Vancouver needs to pay half the cost of operating Gregor shelters
March 25th, 2010 · 32 Comments
The city had its day in the media sun Tuesday, with a homeless count that seemed to be proving that having more shelters is keeping people off the street.

Ignoring the Social Security Crisis
The following CNN article points to something that's been referred to in the past as "generational warfare" occurring over the issue of the health and continued existence of the social security program. According to the Senior Editor of Fortune magazine, Allan Sloan, it isn't too far off from the present that the entire fiction of the social security trust fund will begin to unravel. As Sloan puts it, the social security trust fund will have such a negative cash flow that individuals under 40 won't stand for it.
What does Sloan mean by this? Only what we've been hearing for the last twenty years: social security benefits are transfer benefits that are paid out as a result of younger non-retired individuals paying into the social security and social security disability system via their taxes.
However, when you have fewer workers supporting more retirees (as we have now) and you also have a trust fund that is full of IOUs (treasury bonds), then the only way to continue the payment of benefits is to...raise taxes dramatically on those who make the benefit payout system work. And that means dramatically raising the taxes of young workers. I should add, young workers who are currently getting hammered by a bad economy that faces a very uncertain future in light of monstrous federal debt, staggering trade deficits and a questionable ability to perform against other nations (a recent study shows that one in four teenagers in the U.S. drops out of high school).
Does anyone really think that people under 40--who are trying to pay mortgages and raise families--will stand to have their taxes doubled? I don't think so. They won't have a choice, you say? Of course, they will. It's called "voting". And that's when everything changes.
When does the whole ball of yarn unravel? According to Sloan, not some comfortable faroff date like 2039, but, rather, as soon as ten years from now.
Sort of like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

Nature's Wisdom. ~ Salvatore Vionito {Poem}
Nature's Wisdom.
Arms out stretched trying
To wrap a hug around the sky.
Leaves bursting out of their veins
Getting high off of the sun,
Drenched and punch drunk
On each drop of rain that falls,
Whispering hello to the passing wind
And yet keeps still enough
To grab hold of its source,
Digging roots deep down
As the heavens are way up high.
Some search in books,
Carved from the heart's pulp
Of our greatest teachers,
For the secret answers
That complete our lives.
But there are no secrets except
For the ones we keep from ourselves.
Nature is God's reminder
That nothing is made incomplete,
That in total gratitude for what is,
We begin to see the abundance
That surrounds us.

Maybe it's caused by intoxication from breathing all that rarefied air atop the anthill that is the NFC West, but this decision seems out of character.
The Seattle Seahawks brain trust that has been quick to issue tickets out of town, and shake up rosters and lineups at the drop of a pass, is sticking with Matt Hasselbeck, a quarterback a month into the worst slump of his career.
Consider what's at stake. Good heavens, if it's the wrong decision, the Seahawks (losers of six of their last eight games) might not make it to the playoffs. And what a travesty that would be.
So, the quarterback who has had 13 turnovers in the past month, and a passer rating in that span of 57.2, is expected to start again on Sunday against Tampa Bay.
Coach Pete Carroll made the announcement Monday afternoon, about 24 hours after he benched Hasselbeck in favor of backup Charlie Whitehurst in the second half of a loss to Atlanta.
Whitehurst didn't exactly cause jaws to drop, but he didn't turn the ball over, either, whereas Hasselbeck had two more interceptions and lost a fumble. The move led to speculation that Hasselbeck would be seated the final two games of the season, ending a tenure that was the most successful stretch in franchise history.
Carroll decided Monday that Hasselbeck "gives us our best chance to finish off right." He said he thought Hasselbeck really only had one interception that was dubious: a third-period pass that was forced into coverage.
For his part, Hasselbeck said after the game that he's learning some lessons. We might note that he's 35, and has started here most of the last 10 seasons, which generally is not considered learning-curve territory.
Carroll and Hasselbeck both theorized that he presses too hard and makes shaky decisions when the team is behind. But the team has lost 31 games in the last three seasons, so he should have experience in these matters.
It leaves us to evaluate whether this will be a shortsighted, misguided decision by Carroll, or insightful and justifiable loyalty to a respected veteran.
Some thoughts on why it might be the right thing:
• Hasselbeck is a team leader, a fiery competitor who has played in big games down the stretch. He has bounced back from slumps before and he had a few games this season in which he performed at peak efficiency. No one can question his effort or intent toward making corrections.
• Now that this decision is made, and some of the issues identified, it might cause the offensive staff to do a better job of scheme preparation to help Hasselbeck deal with the specific problems that have arisen.
• Any decision on Hasselbeck has to be viewed in light of the alternative. Had Whitehurst lit up Qwest Field, this probably would not have been an issue.
Why it might not work:
• Hasselbeck has not shown consistent command of this scheme. Is he going to grasp it better in the final two games than he has up to this point? It does not sound as if the quarterback and offensive coordinator are always operating on the same frequency. How can that improve in a few days?
• He has quarterbacked only two wins in the last eight December/January games he's started. Oh, yeah, and he's playing with a cast protecting a broken left wrist.
• As the staff has preached not making turnovers, Hasselbeck has quarterbacked too cautiously at times, and without sufficient caution at other times. And now he's being told "you're our man … just don't throw an interception." That should make him really comfortable and confident, right?
And, finally, here's why it might not make a difference:
• This is not irreversible. Now that the precedent has been established, Carroll can more easily pull him and try Whitehurst again.
• And maybe the biggest factor in reducing the relevance of this is that the Seahawks might be able to continue along the current path, playing poorly and losing, and still get into the playoffs with a last-game revival win over St. Louis.
It might not really matter who is playing quarterback for them as long as they're in the NFC West.

Listen to the weekly audio edition on IT Conversations:
The Importance Of ... Law and IT.
Feel free to contact me about articles, websites and etc. you think I may find of interest. I'm also available for consulting work and speaking engagements. Email: ernest.miller 8T gmail.com
C|Net News's Declan McCullagh is reporting that a coalition of technology and public interest groups have come up with an alternative to the Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act (IICA, née INDUCE Act), which they are calling the "Don't Induce Act" (Group offers alternative to P2P bill). Groups behind the new alternative include the Consumer Electonics Assoc., Public Knowledge, Home Recording Rights Coalition, DigitalConsumer.org, Computers & Communications Industry Assoc., and the American Libray Assoc.. Interestingly, the CCIA doesn't actually endorse the alternative, but calls it a "good framework to approach these issues."
Single-page cover letter here: DONT Induce Act Cover Letter [PDF]:
In your letter to the Register of Copyrights, you expressed interest in a technology-neutral law directed at a small set of bad actors while protecting our legitimate technology industries from frivolous litigation. We have developed such an alternative that would address mass, indiscriminate infringing conduct while preserving the Supreme Courts Betamax decision, the Magna Carta of the technology industry which is in no small measure responsible for our nations preeminence in technological innovation and entrepreneurship. We believe that the enclosed draft meets these goals and serves as the best platform for the discussion of the interests of all concerned parties.
Read the 5-page proposed legislation here: Discouraging Online Networked Trafficking Inducement Act of 2004 [PDF]. Read on for the text...
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.Frankly, my immediate reaction is that I am not so enamored of this proposal. It seems overly tailored to one particular use of technology. While I appreciate the narrowness of the drafting, I don't really like the special case it adds to copyright law. For example, why a specific exemption for email?
This Act may be cited as the Discouraging Online Networked Trafficking Inducement Act of 2004.
Section 501 of title, 17, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:(g)(1) Whoever actively distributes in commerce a computer program that is specifically designed for use by individuals to engage in the indiscriminate, mass infringing distribution to the public of copies or phonorecords of copyrighted works over digital networks, with the specific and actual intent to reap financial gain by encouraging such individuals to engage in such indiscriminate, mass infringing distribution, shall be liable as an infringer.SEC. 3. REMEDIES FOR BASELESS LAWSUITS.
(2) For purposes of this subsection and without limiting such other evidence as may be relevant to demonstrating whether a person had the specific and actual intent necessary to violate paragraph (1), a person shall not be deemed to have such specific and actual intent unless--(A) the predominant use of the computer program is the mass, indiscriminate infringing redistribution to the public of copies or phonorecords of copyrighted works;(3) Limitations on liability.
(B) the commercial viability of the computer program depends on, and the predominant revenues derived by the distributor from the computer program are derived from, its use for such mass, indiscriminate infringing redistribution; and
(C) the person has undertaken conscious, recurring, persistent, and deliberate acts that encouraged another person to commit such mass, indiscriminate infringing redistribution or absent a legitimate purpose actively interfered with the ability of copyright owners to detect and prosecute such mass, indiscriminate infringing redistribution.(A) A service provider as defined in 17 U.S.C. 512(k)(1)(B) whose service is used by a third party to distribute or that facilitates a third partys distribution of a computer program shall not be liable under paragraph (1) for providing or operating such service.(4) In any action under paragraph (1), the facts supporting such allegation must be pleaded with particularity.
(B) Actual or constructive knowledge of the use of a computer program is not sufficient to demonstrate the requisite specific intent under paragraph (1).
(C) A person who is not a distributor of a computer program that is specifically designed for use by individuals to engage in the indiscriminate, mass infringing distribution to the public of copies or phonorecords of copyrighted works over digital networks shall not be liable under paragraph (1) notwithstanding any contribution to or benefit from such distribution. By way of example and not limitation, providing(i) venture capital, financial assistance, payment services, or financial services,(D) In or as part of a consumer electronics or information technology product or service, providing navigation or access functions, recording functions, storage capacity, electronic program search and indexing functions, or an electronic program guide shall not separately or in combination be a basis for liability under this paragraph.
(ii) advertising, advertising services, or product reviews, or
(iii) information or support to users, including via manuals and user handbooks pertaining to a computer program, assistance or directions for using such a program through a companys online help system or telephone help services, and library services
shall not be a basis for liability under paragraph (1).
(E) An email function does not provide mass, indiscriminate distribution of a work.
(5) Remedies for a violation of paragraph (1) shall be limited to(A) an injunction against such intentional commercial activity; and
(B) actual damages for infringement of a work for which the defendant had specific and actual knowledge the work would be infringed.
In any civil action brought under section 501(g)(a) The court shall allow recovery of full costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, by the prevailing party; andSEC. 4. CODIFICATION OF SUPREME COURT PRECEDENT.
(b) Monetary sanctions under Rule 11, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, shall be trebled.
Except as provided under section 501(g)(1), it shall not be a violation of the Copyright Act to manufacture or distribute a hardware or software product that is capable of commercially significant noninfringing use.
The remedy for baseless lawsuits seems good. I may add it to my version of an alternative INDUCE Act.
I'm not so sure about the codification of Supreme Court precedent. Why is only manufacture and distribution protected? Why only violations of the "Copyright Act," instead of "under this title" or similar language?
MPAA vice-president Fritz Attaway says the alternative is much too narrowly drawn, and the proponents are "not being honest here." Of course, the MPAA is scrupulously honest in all its claims.
Mitch Glazier of the RIAA is also critical but surprisingly positive about having an alternative:
"I don't think this as written is a reasonable proposal," he said. "I don't think that as written anyone could be found liable...But I'm glad that people are trying to draw the line between the good guys and the bad guys."You know, why don't we plan on passing this alternative and if the RIAA or MPAA have any constructive suggestions, we could consider them.
Some companies and organizations, such as the EFF would prefer that no legislation be passed. It is a very reasonable position to hold. The only drawback is that Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) has said that he wants to pass some legislation regardless whether it would be wise or not. He isn't being paid to not pass laws now is he?
Other alternatives to the INDUCE Act here:
Ernest Miller's Draft Substitute for the INDUCE Act (IICA) v2.0
Tim Wu's INDUCE Act (IICA) Alternative
Shredding the INDUCE Act (IICA) - CEA, IEEE-USA, NetCoalition (IEEE-USA's alternative language about the middle of the article)
Public Knowledge has issued a press release, which isn't online quite yet:
Gigi B. Sohn, president and co-founder of Public Knowledge, said she hopes the Senate Judiciary Committee will give serious consideration to a proposed alternative to the so-called Induce legislation being considered by the panel. We still doubt the need for new legislation, but the draft legislation comes closest to giving the senators what they have said they want -- a law targeting those who induce infringement, Sohn said.
We are pleased that so many other groups are with us on the need for an alternative approach, Sohn said. The draft language, sent to the Committee today, focuses more tightly on those who engage in indiscriminate, mass infringing than does the existing legislation, S-2560. That bill, which was strongly criticized by most of the witnesses at a July 22 hearing, is sufficiently vague and overbroad that devices like the iPod might be judged to be illegal inducement.
Other INDUCE Act News
In other news, eWeek warns of dirty legislative tricks, such as slipping amendments into bills at the last minute (Beware of Stealth Clauses to Laws). Not only do we have to worry about the INDUCE Act's proponents sneaking the original bill through in the middle of the night, but we need to worry about other changes to the Copyright Act that might be added to any INDUCE Act that goes up for a vote.
Red Herring has an article on the effect the Grokster decision is having on investment markets (Sharing is good. The chilling effects of existing law are clear. Imagine what effect the INDUCE Act would have on private investment in innovation.

Huskies don't take run of NCAA bids for granted
By Carl Adamec
STORRS, Conn. — The University of Connecticut women's basketball team has had more of its share of streaks in coach Geno Auriemma's 28 years here.
Some, like the Huskies' NCAA-record 90-game winning streak, caught the imagination of the country. Other streaks have gone a bit under the radar.
But when UConn received an at-large bid to the 2013 NCAA tournament Monday, it was meaningful for Auriemma and the program. It will mark the Huskies' 25th straight NCAA appearance.
UConn (29-4) is the No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament Bridgeport Regional and will begin its bid for a record sixth straight Final Four appearance Saturday when it hosts Western Athletic Conference tournament champion Idaho at Gampel Pavilion.
"The longer this goes, the more you realize how hard this is to do," Auriemma said. "It's like anything else we've done since I've been at Connecticut. You try to measure yourself in terms of consistency, how long we've been able to be at the level we're at right now. If it was that easy, everyone would do it.
"That's why I get a big kick out of when you have that mentality of what have you done for us last week or what are you going to do next week … How many teams have won national championships the last 20 years and have not been back to the Final Four or had any kind of success remotely close to that? You do take a tremendous amount of pride in that it's been a consistent run for us and hopefully it will continue."
The Huskies' current streak is the third-longest behind Tennessee (32) and Stanford (26).
"I don't think you take it for granted and I know for sure we don't take it for granted," Auriemma said. "All you have to do is look around on the men's side. The defending champions (Kentucky), with one injury, go from being able defend the title to not being in the tournament. We've seen too many instances it can be taken away from you."
Kentucky, with former UConn player Samarie Walker, is the No. 2 seed in Bridgeport behind the Huskies.
North Carolina is seeded third while Maryland is the No. 4 seed. UConn defeated Kentucky in last year's Elite Eight in Kingston, R.I. The Huskies defeated the Terrapins in Hartford in December.
The UConn-Idaho winner will face either Atlantic-10 Conference tournament No. 9 Saint Joseph's (Pa.) or eighth-seeded Vanderbilt out of the Southeastern Conference a week from tonight for a spot in the Sweet 16 at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport.
Defending national champion Baylor is the overall No. 1 seed followed by Notre Dame, UConn, and Stanford. That means the Irish and Huskies could meet for a third straight year in the national semifinals.
The Final Four is at New Orleans Arena.
"I had a good idea to the No. 1 seeds but I was just eager to see who the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds would be and how that would play out," UConn guard Bria Hartley said. "I think we're excited to play. A lot of the focus in on what we have to do. We know a lot of the teams that are out there and we're going to go out there and played really hard."
The Huskies' road to the Final Four doesn't take them far. If they win their two games at Gampel Pavilion it's off to Bridgeport.
Twice before, in 1995 and 2004, UConn has reached the Final Four without leaving the state of Connecticut.
Idaho (17-15) is making its first NCAA appearance since winning the Big Sky championship in 1985. The Vandals earned the WAC's automatic bid by winning three league tourney games by a total of seven points, capped by a 67-64 victory over top-seeded Seattle Saturday. They are led in scoring by junior Alyssa Charleston (13.7), sophomore Stacey Barr (10.8), and freshman Christina Salvatore (10.6).
UConn and Idaho have never met and the teams have no common opponents this season. Hartley didn't know what city the university was in (Moscow) or the school's nickname (Vandals).
"I don't do any research on the University of Idaho. Sorry," Hartley said with a laugh. "I'm an east coast kid."
"Before Saturday we'll know everything that we need to know," Auriemma said. "As of right now, all we know is that they're in the tournament and we play them Saturday."
The Huskies returned to practice Saturday and also worked out Sunday and Monday. They will take Tuesday off before going back to work Wednesday in preparation for the weekend.
"We had a few days off after the Notre Dame game so we were able to get our bodies some rest," Hartley said. "It's tough playing three games in three days and the way it ended. But we came back and had some pretty good practices and we're excited to play."
Saint Joseph's (23-8) clinched its first NCAA berth since 2000 by beating Fordham 47-46 in Saturday's A-10 tournament final. Vanderbilt (20-11) was eliminated in the SEC tournament quarterfinals by Kentucky. UConn defeated Vanderbilt in the 1996 Mideast Regional final.
UConn has not lost a NCAA tournament game on campus since 1993.

Women of Google+ : Jo Hannah Afton
As we come across amazing women in Google+, we wanted to highlight some of them and give you the opportunity to find out how fabulous they are for yourself.
Featured G+'er : Jo Hannah Afton
How did you originally get invited to Google+?
I was invited by my 15 year old son, Santana. Luckily, I have had four social-media savvy teenagers that have led me through the labyrinth of online marketing and are a regular resource for me in emerging trends, marketing and new music talent.
What benefits are you seeing from being in Google+?
I immediately began to see new faces in the entertainment industry, particularly musicians and photographers, that are a resource for my inspiration and who are keeping me motivated in my career. The Google+ community, so far, is intelligent, engaged and inquisitive. My type of people!
How does Google+ fit into your life or career?
I regularly hop over to G+ to listen to music, watch videos, and drool over the photography. Since it's much easier to find people and follow them through "circles", I have the luxury now of expanded posts from industry professionals, and can get more than just a snapshot of what's going on… I have found new blogs to follow in music, photography and poetry, and G+ has inspired me to be more active on my own photo/poetry blog as well. I also split my time between the USA and Brazil, and so having an international community on G+ helps me to bridge the gap in making contacts while I am abroad.
A particularly interesting story or thoughts you may want to add regarding Google+
How about a poem?! Inspired by new friends on G+…
It's true
Music soothes and sways
And takes it all away
Like a gentle face
In a crowded place
When I can't find my way.
July 30, 2011
Where can I find more information about this fabulous woman?
Jo Hannah Afton, brings over twenty years of theatrical, musical and event management experience. Over the years and as President of Afton Entertainment Group, L.L.C., she has worked with both small and large events, including such performers as The Kinks, The Ramones, The Pretenders, Jefferson Starship, Squeeze and others. She holds a dual degree in Mass Media and Theater, and has experience with on-air radio, photojournalism, stage lighting and design, non-profit fundraising and corporate sponsorship relations, music management and promotions, and has taught Event Management at Florida State University as an adjunct professor.

Mistral Raymond, Ryan D'Imperio scratched for Vikings against Chargers
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS -- Safety Mistral Raymond was scratched for the Minnesota Vikings' game on Friday against San Diego because of lower-back issues in pregame warmups, the team announced.
Raymond has appeared to be the front-runner in his competition with Jamarca Sanford for the starting job opposite Harrison Smith. But Sanford was slated to start Friday's game anyway.
Backup fullback Ryan D'Imperio also was a surprise scratch against the Chargers, who decided not to play starting quarterback Philip Rivers and five other starters.
D'Imperio, who also is a core special teamer, practiced on Wednesday and had no known injury since training camp began.
Also inactive for the Vikings were: receiver Kamar Jorden (hand), cornerback Chris Cook (concussion), guard Bridger Buche (knee), guard Geoff Schwartz (sports hernia surgery), tight end John Carlson (knee), nose tackle Letroy Guion (knee) and halfback Adrian Peterson, who won't play in the preseason as he continues to recover from left knee reconstruction.
Toby Gerhart once again was listed as the starter in place of Peterson. Fred Evans was slated to start for Guion and Chris Carr for Cook.
Linebacker Larry Dean (shoulder) and tackle DeMarcus Love (pectoral) weren't on the scratch list but didn't suit up either.
Two other players coach Leslie Frazier categorized as questionable -- linebacker Solomon Elimimian (hamstring) and safety Robert Blanton (hamstring) -- were in uniform. So was halfback Jordan Todman, who missed the first two preseason games with a sprained ankle.
The Chargers announced they were scratching Rivers because they wanted backup Charlie Whitehurst on the road. But it probably had something to do with facing the Vikings' pass rush without starting left tackle Jared Gaither, left guard Rex Hadnot and center Nick Hardwick (concussion).
Other starters sitting out for the Chargers were tight end Antonio Gates (healthy scratch), halfback Ryan Mathews (collarbone) and nose tackle Antonio Garay (sprained ankle).

One of the easiest ways to make sure that you remain in control would be to avoid bills whenever possible. However, many people find that taking out many different payday loans will result in several bills that they are responsible for during the course of a normal month. If you have taken out ten payday loans at once, all of these would result in another bill that you would need to pay on a regular basis in order to avoid having charges tacked on. If you miss just one of these bills, things such as late charges can add a crippling amount of money to the sum that you already owe. When you take into account that you would need to keep track of these bills and stay on top of them every month, you begin to understand just how difficult this can be. However, it is very important that you do anything you can in order to get this debt under control. Never miss a payment, this would only result in struggling to get ahead when it comes to your payday loan debt.

If you want to stop this problem in your life today, you want to have them grouped as quickly as possible.

The easiest way to make this debt easy to manage would be to consolidate and start eliminating large portions of your debt.

Gyan has been sensational for the Boss since his arrival – powering the side to back-to-back league titles with his aplenty goals.
The club's board have now moved quickly to secure the future of their lethal striker by extending his deal to two more years upon hints of interest from clubs in Europe where many believe the former Udinese man belongs.

The researchers concluded the study confirms that early menopause is a potential risk associated with hysterectomy.
"This could potentially change practice because women who are considering hysterectomy for fibroids or other problems may want to explore other treatment options for their condition if they know they may go through menopause earlier," said Moorman.

Spencer Pratt is wondering why Kate Hudson even got a boob job in the first place.
Days after Us Weekly reported that Hudson, 31, had a small breast augmentation, the actress showed off her new chest at Coachella over the weekend.
PHOTOS: Stars with bad plastic surgery
But the 26-year-old Pratt -- whose wife Heidi now has a "E or F" bra size following her infamous 10 operations-in-a-day -- isn't impressed.
PHOTOS: Celebs reveal their bra sizes
"How is it possible to get breast implants and still not have breasts," he Twittered Monday. "Kate H - get ur money back..."
PHOTOS: What Heidi Montag used to look like
Referring to Dr. Frank Ryan (who performed Montag's surgeries), Pratt then added, "I gotta guy who will hook you up!"
In another message, Pratt took aim at Robert Rey -- a.k.a. Dr. 90210 -- who tells UsMagazine.com that Montag, 23, is sending a bad message to girls for altering her appearance so drastically. Pratt says Dr. 90210 is a hypocrite because his daughter is "into plastic."

Codec Pack All in 22.214.171.124
editor's review
1 comment
If you are a movie fan and you enjoy watching them on your PC or laptop, then one of the first things you should do after a fresh setup of your operating system is the installation of a codec pack. The codec choice is up to you, but in order to enable your default media player to offer high quality playback for video and audio files a codec pack is a must.
Easy and quick installation process
Codec Pack All in 1 gives users the possibility to play their DivX, XviD, AC3 and a wide range of other multimedia file types using their favorite video player. It is rather small and taxes only a few seconds to install. In fact, all you have to do during the installation is opt for the audio and video codecs you prefer.
Choose settings that suit your machine
You can choose from FFDShow filter, if you have a slower computer, or DivX and XviD codecs. As for components for showing subtitles, you are able to pick either VobSub or G400. Last but not least, the available audio codecs in the pack are Ogg, AC3 Filter and MMS.
Configurable options for enhanced performance
Codec Pack All in 1 is configurable and enables you to perform minor tweaks for performance or quality improvements, depending on your computer's capabilities. It allows you to reduce CPU spikes using one frame delay or set the output to 4:2:0 whenever supported. Moreover, you can use the advanced hardware overlay and force the aspect ratio to any of the three possible - 1:1, 4:3 or 16:9.
Adjust video quality and apply effects
You can adjust the deblocking and deringing post-processing or adjust the picture brightness, contrast and saturation for a more comfortable movie playback. Codec Pack All in 1 also features a Film Effect layer that adds a movie like filter you can adjust in intensity.
To end with
To sum it up, Codec Pack All in 1 still provides high-quality playback for your media files and can be successfully used on slower or more powerful computers running an older operating system such as XP even though the pack does not contain the latest video and audio codecs.
