Flaherty Says Central Bank Move Not Aimed at Specific Bank
Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said today's coordinated central bank action wasn't aimed at supporting any specific financial institution.
"I know that discussions were taking place, not with respect to any specific financial institution," Flaherty said in a Bloomberg Television interview in New York to be aired later today.
Stocks surged and the euro strengthened after the Federal Reserve and five other central banks cut the cost of emergency dollar funding for European banks as part of a globally coordinated central-bank response to the continent's sovereign-debt crisis.
"I think that the coordination is very important," Flaherty said. "This is one of the discussions we've had repeatedly at the G-20 the last couple of years, the need to coordinate actions like that."
Earlier today, Flaherty said he expects more coordinated actions could take place.
Flaherty also said European policy makers need to decide on the mandate the European Central Bank will have in helping countries overcome their sovereign debt problems.
"The ECB needs more work," Flaherty said. "The euro-zone countries need to decide whether they're going to have the resources" needed to resolve the crisis.
The full interview will air on Bloomberg Television's Street Smart at 3:00 p.m. New York time.

Question from johnnyred916
How do I get the stones locked in leyawiin's mages guild?
I know where they are but you need a key to get to them. I also found out that after the "Tears of the savior" guest you can unlock a case and obtain them for keeps. I want to know how do unlock the case containing the shiny Christels?

Top Voted Answer
The tears are counted as a quest item and are PERMANENT STOLEN PROPERTY, As for your shiny crystals obsession, those aren't crystals, those are actually Soul Gems, and you won't be needing them. They can be found ALL OVER Cyrodiil. Get searching, and they can be found in Mage's Guilds and Alchemists may have them, aswell as Earil's Mysteries. Also Rindir's Staffs.

You found out wrong, those tears in the display case are not items. You can't pick them up
7 years ago
to open the case you need to steal the key from the man you gave the tears to. But after you get the tears you cant sell them or put them in your house
7 years ago
The case cannot be opened, as the key that the guy has doesnt open that particular case. They aren't items anyways, just static. So sorry, you can't have them.
6 years ago
you can always just go into Aeleid places or w/e and get Varla stones (rare) or those other ones, which are found EVERYWHERE in there... they are kinda like the ones in Leyawiin.

Forty years ago, most women in Illinois faced stark choices when it came to ending an unintended pregnancy.
Forty years ago, most women in Illinois faced stark choices when it came to ending an unintended pregnancy:
* If you could afford it, you traveled all the way to New York, Washington, Alaska or Hawaii to have a legal abortion.
* If you weren't so lucky, you might find yourself blindfolded and taken to an unknown location, where an uncaring or even abusive stranger performed a dangerous illegal abortion.
The results were chilling. Illegal abortions caused as many as one-fifth of all pregnancy- and childbirth-related deaths. This started to change in January 1973 when the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed in Roe v. Wade that the constitutionally protected right to privacy includes every woman's right to make her own personal medical decisions.
This landmark ruling has stood the test of time. One of the most difficult decisions a woman will ever make is now a personal and private matter. Roe's legacy of safe and legal abortions means that today, less than half of 1 percent of abortions result in serious complications.
Forty years after Roe v. Wade, we celebrate the influence Roe has had on improving all aspects of women's reproductive health care, including more and better contraceptive options.
This is what 40 looks like: When women have control of their reproductive health, we see them pursue higher education, obtain better jobs and create families that are healthier and stronger emotionally and financially. The numbers tell the story:
* Each year, publicly funded family planning services prevent 1.94 million unintended pregnancies — including 400,000 teen pregnancies — and prevent hundreds of thousands of abortions.
* Women's participation in the labor force has increased from less than half in 1970 to nearly two-thirds in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and families count on the nearly 40 percent that women contribute to family incomes.
* Women aged 25 to 34 are now more likely than men of that age group to have attained a college degree, reversing the norm of 40 years ago, according to a 2011 federal study.
Generations of Americans — across party lines — do not want to go back to the pre-Roe days. In poll after poll, their message is clear: Instead of framing the issue as pro-choice or pro-life, we should respect the complex real-life decisions women and their families make.
In fact, nearly two-thirds of American voters support Roe v. Wade, according to a Quinnipiac poll taken in February 2012. This is especially true among younger voters. In a post-election poll from the Pew Research Center, nearly two-thirds of voters younger than age 30 think abortion should be legal in all or most cases. Yet state legislators in Illinois and around the country continue to introduce bills that would create barriers to safe and legal abortion, and would let politicians meddle in the health care services that qualified medical providers offer patients.
Page 2 of 2 - We honor and thank the courageous leaders who worked hard all those years ago to ensure that today's women have medically accurate information, effective contraception and the options we need to live healthy, productive lives.
At Planned Parenthood, we know what it was like for women before Roe v. Wade. We are not willing to go back to risky back alley abortions and to have dreams shattered by one mistake or contraceptive failure.
That is not what I want for my daughter, and I expect it is not what you want for yours.
Carole Brite is president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Illinois.

So let me ask it this way:
What is a standard ballpark figure on $/click?
Are we talking a nickel ($0.05)? dime ($0.10)? quarter $0.25? $1.00? $2.00?
Maybe if a few people post back with what they are getting or a decent range of what their getting. Example: "I usually get between $0.09 and $0.17."

Woot! Looking forward to try this once I get back home.
This is a single player experience for all terminator fans using the unreal engine III by Epic Games. set in the year 2029 you are placed in the boots a of soldier serving for humankind against the ruthless army of machines. The final campaign will feature nine chapters of a roller coaster ride, inspired by James Cameron's masterpiece franchise.
Confront the many killing machines at skynet's disposal including the HK aerial, the HK tank, the mini HK, and the legendary T800 with an arsenal of futuristic plasma weapons.
I'm sorry I had to keep you guys waiting 'till the end of the month. After the last article was uploaded, I started having technical problems with my computer. but even with additional obstetrical, I still wanted to give you guys a demo before the month was over.
Posted by Narlyteeth on May 30th, 2011
I have to stress this but, you guys MUST VIEW THE README before installing the game. I don't want to hear people complaining about it crashing on startup with out saying they followed installation instruction. There is an executable that didn't get packed with the installer so you need to patch the file over after installing.
This alpha release features two maps this time. One is a remake of the San Francisco bay from the first alpha release, and the other map is of downtown L.A. Los Angeles will be a sandbox with a linear mission (Kind of like Crysis), which will offer many branching paths that all lead to your objective. Different paths can vary in difficulty and playstyle. Some paths will take you into a warzone against HK aeriels and tanks, as well as many other foes. Other paths can take you through sunken buildings where you fight patrolling swarms of HK minis
There are a few improvements done with the gameplay as well. First to mention is that the player has very little health, and will be mutilated if out in the open, so game will have a first person cover system that will let you duck behind a piece of rubble and quickly pop in and out to attack your enemies. Keep in mind that the cover system is still very buggy and is still at a very early prototype state.
There is also a hint button now in case you get lost. hitting the button will pop Holographic arrows in the map that suggest paths the player could go (not has to go, remember the map is a sandbox). Some suggested me to use way-point markers instead, but In a sandbox environment, it doesn't show the player the options toward the destination.
I'll tell you this now most of the endoskeletons you will find on the battlefield are not T800s but T700s. They are a dark, rusty brown color instead of chrome, and they fall down much easier. you Will fight a total of Three T800s in the demo and they are insanely harder than the 700 models. At first it will be a bit difficult spotting the difference between the two but soon you'll notice the chrome one is much tougher.
There will also be many HK minis in the demo. These guys are the cannon fodder Skynet's army. but they are fast and come in large numbers. You will also confront HK tanks. these guys will mostly be scripted but will play important roles in the larger set pieces
Well I hope you guys enjoy this demo and be sure to stay tuned for more releases in the future.
-Kevin Bryant
Woot! Looking forward to try this once I get back home.
Very cool!
What we need to play this mod?
It's not a mod you don't need another game to run it. but please follow the readme when installing.
I just need to install this right?
A decent computer ;)
I'll play this after school(Lunch break now)!
Cool thanks guys
For whatever reason, steam is hooking into the alpha even though I never told it to. Not sure what to think of that. Fluorescent ground in Act I makes the game impossible to play. Something seems to have gone horribly wrong here. Other than that, fantastic!
this is happening on some people's machines. It works fine for me, but I need to figure out the problem asap.
I saw something similar when I tried to force D3D10 with the previous alpha. My GPU is a 460, could be the Fermi drivers.
Was already afraid that this release wouldn't make it "in May" :)
Now downloading and in few minutes will try it out! Meh, I already know I will just LOVE it!
Quick question - is there a way to change mouse input settings, like invert Y axis?
Game gets added to Steam as Unreal Development Kit and every kill gives me funny awards obviously from Unreal Tournament games, like, after killing one flying drone gives "First Blood" impression (Off to a Good Start achievement), second drone gives already Serial Killer award for "Killing Spree" and after few more I get already "Don't taze me Bro" award for killing 4 enemies with Shock Rifle.
Pressing F1 gives a messy HUD where, as I can figure out are two teams showing up (there's no font or whatsoever - just squares) where I can see that I'm the RED team (being all alone in it) and robots are team BLUE (long list with ****** up font "names"). Wouldn't mind that HUD if I could afterwards hide it again ..
By pressing F (which is I guess a hit with a gun?) the left arm model looks kinda weird ..
It's hard to understand when and what screen resolution do I choose - there are no visual signs if I have 800x600 or 1680x1050 and so on.
For some reason I can't move around while crouching (at least on Act 3). Sometimes the movement makes me feel that I'm actually air-walking on some invisible objects and eventually I can get sky high and get out of Act 1 map ...
There are times when the controls goes nuts - I can't shoot (instead the character tries to run) and pretty much can't do anything besides standing still (or moving jerky) and moving mouse around.
Would be nice to see basic controls customization on next release! :)
Other than that the game runs fantastic (Athlon X2 64 / GTX260 / 4GB Ram) and sure is enjoyable!
there is going to be a hot fix by next week I can't fix everything with in that time frame but I can fix the most critical errors.

For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He watches all his paths. - Proverbs 5:21
When our son Ed was four he liked to wander into woods near our house. I'd retrieve and discipline him, but it did no good. One day I allowed Ed to stray off into the forest. I followed from a distance, hiding behind a tree. Deeper into the woods he went, and finally realized he was lost. Just as he began to cry, I stepped out from a hiding place. "So, are you ready to go home?" I asked Ed. If you are God's covenant child, He promises to watch your paths. Just when you think it's hopeless, He is there to lead you home.

|Key Info
Spiti Stelios Traditional Restored Artisan House (sleeps up to 6 in 4 bedrooms)
Situated in the trendy mediaeval hilltop village of Pyrgos. Spiti Stelios originally served as an old artisan house and winery dating back to the early 18th century. This traditional building with beautiful caldera and island views, has been restored and converted into a simple and friendly family holiday home. Teams of local artisans have used traditional crafts, techniques and materials to create this comfortable Santorini 4 bedroom dwelling.
Approached via a footpath which has breathtaking views across the island and the Aegean beyond, the entrance to the property is into a large cobblestoned courtyard with outdoor dining area and barbecue. There is also a roof terrace, ideal for sitting with a glass of local wine and enjoying the spectacular sunsets (which are almost guaranteed on this island). On a clear day it is possible to make out as many as 7 different islands in the distance.
Inside, the living room features two traditional Santorini couches, scattered with cushions and an alcove which serves as a snug (used to be a tread for the white grapes). The kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is one of the single bedrooms. An arched passage leads to the other 2 bedrooms and bathroom with its loo with a view. The master bedroom is light and airy, with caldera views and double doors opening onto a second enclosed courtyard. Adjacent to the master bedroom is the other single bedroom. In total there are one master bedroom and two single bedrooms on this level.
In addition there is a cool double bedroom downstairs with en-suite wet room. This benefits from having its own independent entrance from the second enclosed courtyard (which also has an outdoor shower). This double en-suite yposkafo is carved out of the rock in typical Santorinian style and served as the workshop where cheese and other artisan products were made in years gone by.
The beautiful sugar-cube village of Pyrgos is one of the prettiest places on the island, built around the remains of the mediaeval castle, in a charming mixture of winding lanes and white-washed churches with distinctive blue domes. Pyrgos is centrally located with access to multiple beaches.
There are at least 2 beaches which are only 15 min drive from Pyrgos (1. Kamari and 2. Vlychada). In addition, Perissa and Perivolos beaches are a 20 min drive from Pyrgos. While public transport is available from the village square, renting a car is strongly recommended.
On the other side of the island there are several beaches most notably Vourvoulos, Baxedes, Pori and Cape Columbo. Cape Columbo is somewhat secluded and a perfect location if you are looking for peace and quiet. It is reputed to 'sit' on a series of mini volcanic craters deep under the sea bed and the far end of this beach is a naturist/nudist beach.
You can walk along the cliffs from Fira to Oia, about 11 km. Start out in the morning when it's cool and be sure to take along plenty of water, a snack, sun cream, sunglasses and a hat!
There is a hiking trail between Perissa Beach and Kamari Beach that passes by the archaeological site of Ancient Thira at the summit of the mountain. The Perissa side is a dirt trail. The Kamari side is a paved road with steep switchbacks. Not counting the time you spend exploring Ancient Thira, the hike will take you about 2 hours.

Great location, great house, great holiday! Spiti Stelios is a fantastic place to stay, far enough away from the madding crowds but close enough to savour the authentic essence of Santorini.
Thank you Brian for your kind words. We are pleased to receive your review and read that you had a great stay. It is great to see that you appreciated the location away from the 'madding' crowds yet close enough to the 'authentic essence'. This is really what Spiti Stelios is all about!.... We look forward to having you back with us someday soon.

"Amazing villa - just want to go back every year"
The villa is beautiful, very clean, wonderfully designed and really stylish. It feels like home from home. There is great outdoor space with a roof terrace which offer panoramic views of the whole island. This a perfect spot to watch the beautiful sunsets. There is a great big terrace which is perfect for breakfasts / dinners and bbqs. Location is not overlooked and right by a small path where the donkeys go up and down on a daily basis. It is wonderfully quiet and a real place to unwind on holiday. Rooms and bathrooms are very spacious and decorated to a 5* standard. Kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need. All in all I cant recommend this villa enough and would choose to return here year on year.
Thank you for your kind words L****, glad you enjoyed your holiday and we look forward to welcoming you here again soon :-)

Boston's second unit had just put together its finest combined effort of the season, helping the Celtics kick off a four-game road trip with a solid triumph over Oklahoma City, and Ray Allen, who often has pulled double duty as both starting and reserve shooting guard to start the season, wondered out loud if Delonte West's impending return might temporarily disrupt the chemistry being forged.
Don't misinterpret the comment. Allen knows the Celtics face a problem any team would like to have. It's not unlike a playoff-bound baseball squad having to juggle its rotation to accommodate a trade-deadline deal for a top-tier starting pitcher.
The Celtics figure to be a better team with West in the mix, there's no disputing that. Even after producing an 8-2 mark during West's 10-game suspension for offseason gun charges, Boston players gushed with excitement while pondering his integration into the bench rotation.
"It's great because he gives our second unit even more of a lift," Allen said Saturday night in Memphis after his late-game sharpshooting helped the Celtics top the Grizzlies, wrapping up a 3-1 trip.
"It's a great position to be in. We were able to weather the storm for the first 10 games and I know he's champing at the bit -- he's ready to go. You get another player who solidifies that backup unit and can give you more of a scoring pop. He played well [in the preseason], so we're looking forward to it."
The Celtics couldn't ask for a better situation in which to work West into the rotation. The team has three days off before hosting the Wizards on Wednesday night at the TD Garden. After a day of rest Sunday, the Celtics will have two full days of practice to allow the second unit some additional reps with West, who stayed home on the recent trip.
While West hasn't been able to compete with his teammates since the season tipped off on Oct. 26, Kevin Garnett isn't worried about West's reacclimation.
"I think it will be different for [the media and fans] because you haven't seen us full throttle since the preseason," said Garnett.
"Practice, that's our time, where we really become a team."
Celtics coach Doc Rivers deemed West in full health, having worked through the glutes/back issue that sidelined him for part of the eight-game exhibition slate. But Rivers does anticipate some bumps with West's return and says he doesn't quite know how it will affect his team.
"It'll be nice. It's good to have a body and another guy who kind of knows what we're doing," said Rivers. "But it will be interesting. We have a really good rhythm right now, so we'll bring him back and that will upset our rhythm a little bit."
Yet again, it's a boat worth rocking.
"Obviously, Delonte is going to help us, but I don't know exactly how yet," Rivers said. "We're playing pretty well now. We have a pretty good rhythm and [West is] going to change our rhythm a little bit. So we're going to have to get used to that. Having said that, I'd rather have that than not. We'll see. I think Delonte will help Nate [Robinson] the most, but we'll wait and see. He'll help us."
After some early-season struggles, Robinson is playing inspired ball. He produced perhaps his finest offensive outing Saturday, connecting on 6 of 8 shots for 15 points over 12:34 against the Grizzlies. But it's clear Robinson benefits from not being the sole ball handler with the reserve unit (which is why the Celtics toyed with a Rajon Rondo-Robinson backcourt during the trip).
West figures to share ballhandling duties with Robinson, opening up offensive opportunities in a variety of sets. Rivers joked that each player is half a point guard, so together they add up to one true backup behind Rondo.
West's return also should have a trickle-down effect on the starters, particularly Paul Pierce, Allen and Rondo. West's scoring punch could defray Boston's need to lean on its starters, helping to drive down minutes that rose a bit through the first 10 games (and weren't helped by three overtime games during that span). Boston now will have a full-fledged second unit, meaning guys like Allen and Pierce won't have to pull double duty.
And while each of Boston's bench players thrived at one point or another during the first 10 games, the unit lacked consistency; West's steady output should bring some stability.
In a way, that's scary news for the Celtics' opposition. Boston boasts a glitzy 8-2 record -- and Shaquille O'Neal offers it should be 10-0 after letting road games against Cleveland and Dallas slip away -- and now it is adding a player who may well have been the second-most talented player behind LeBron James for the Cleveland Cavaliers last season.
We'll get the chance see if the "Bench Mob" -- West, Robinson, Glen Davis, Semih Erden and Marquis Daniels -- can flourish and help Boston shore up the minor inconsistencies that made the 8-2 start a little more difficult than the record would suggest.
Before the Celtics left on their road trip, West expressed great excitement in getting back on the court. He talked about how he came to the Celtics' practice facility to watch the games, getting in a workout and then putting himself into game situations to mentally prepare for his return.
As a team that prides itself on chemistry, the Celtics need a good reason to mess with it, particularly given their fast start. But they know how valuable West can be in accomplishing their ultimate goal, even if they miss a few beats on the way to developing an even tighter rhythm as West joins the band.

The Battle of Chojnice (Battle of Konitz) occurred on September 18, 1454 near the town of Chojnice, between Poland and the Teutonic Knights during the Thirteen Years' War. The battle was won by the Teutonic Knights.
The Teutonic army had around 9,000 cavalry and 6,000 infantry under Bernard von Zinnenberg. The Polish army had 16,000 cavalry, a few thousand servants (who could and usually were used in battles), a few hundred infantry plus 500 mercenaries and burghers from Gdańsk and 2,000 mercenaries hired by the Prussian Confederacy, all under the command of King Casimir IV, advised by chancellor Jan Koniecpolski and Piotr from Szczekociny.
The Polish commanders were counting on the battle being won by the Polish heavy cavalry, not caring much about either artillery or infantry. They had not thought that their opponents could change their traditional strategy, or that the Teutonic soldiers besieged in Chojnice could be anything more than spectators. Bernard von Zinnenberg, nonetheless, had planned a totally different kind of battle.
The battle[edit]
At the beginning everything went as expected, following the pattern of many other battles between the Poles and Teutonic Knights. The Polish cavalry charged, breaking the Teutonic lines, killing Prince Rudolf of Żagań and even capturing Bernard von Zinnenberg. The Teutonic cavalry tried to break through the Polish lines and escape to Chojnice; however, infantry grouped at the Teutonic Wagenburg broke with tradition and offered a very good defense against the mounted troops.
Then a sudden sally from Chojnice at the back of the Polish army caused panic. Bernard von Zinnenberg managed to release himself and organised the pursuit; hundreds of Poles, including Piotr from Szczekociny, were killed during the rout or drowned in nearby marshland. The Polish King fought on with great personal courage and his knights had to force him to leave the battlefield.
The Polish defeat was complete. 3,000 bodies were left on the battlefield, 300 knights were captured by the Teutonic Knights, including three main commanders: Mikolaj Szarlejski, Łukasz Górka, and Wojciech Kostka from Postupice. The Teutonic Knights lost only around 100 men. Bernard von Zinnenberg, was however, formally a Polish prisoner, since he gave a knight's word.
The battle proved that discipline and improved tactics, combined with a talented commander could win against a larger, but more traditional army. The Poles paid the price for ignoring terrain, infantry and artillery.

What follows below is a delightfully inexpert recap in preparation for tonight's episode 2. As a bonus, here's a very good argument as to why you probably don't want to invite Jon Snow to your dinner party, even if he is kinda cute in that lost puppy sort of way:
After keeping people tuned in for the long months between June and April with such light fare as True Detective, Going Clear and The Jinx (which absolutely no one saw or spent hours discussing), HBO's much loved and totally family-friendly Game of Thrones returned last week for its fifth season. If you're playing catch up, here's a quick recap of where we left our favorite (or most despised) characters last season:
Sansa Stark, now a brunette, is hiding out in the Eyrie with her annoying cousin Robin and the unflappable and possibly Most Evil of All Lord Petyr Baelish, aka Little Finger. Baelish has recently killed Sansa's Aunt and Robin's mother, Lysa Arryn, by pushing her out the Moon Door, just after he married her. While Sansa is adjusting to her new family situation, her younger sister, Arya, just let the Hound die a slow and painful death at the hands of Brienne of Tarth, who was accompanied by Podrick Payne. Arya dodged Brienne's attempts to help bring her home, as Arya is now (rightly) suspicious of pretty much every human, and just purchased passage on a ship bound for Braavos, a trip made possible by the special coin she received from Jaqen H'ghar and the phrase "valar morghulis."
Their half-brother, Jon Snow, is still up at the Wall, where he helped defend Westeros against the onslaught of Mance Rayder's army of Wildlings, which included his special lady friend, Ygritte, who died in his arms after being shot by a child. Like you do. The Brothers of the Night's Watch held the Wall until Stannis Baratheon and his army – thankfully without that bloodthirsty pyromaniac Melisandre - arrived to stamp out the invasion from the Free Men beyond the wall. Speaking of beyond the wall, Bran Stark, accompanied by Meera Reed and Hodor, has just made it to the Godswood of his visions, where they were saved by a Child of the Forest.

With the Season 4 finale of "Game of Thrones" airing today, in the midst of one of the most compelling summer concert seasons in years, we got to thinking... what artist or performance would each character want to see?

Watching television can be fun; binge-watching it can be even better. There's something really fantastic about being sucked completely into a show — its plot, its characters, its actors. It's like being consumed by a really great book, where suddenly whatever is entertaining you transports you to an entirely different world.
If you're an avid reader of our blog, you probably already know we're enthusiastic television watchers. So over the next few weeks, we'll be presenting you with our favorite shows in sci-fi/fantasy, comedy, and drama to binge-watch. You're welcome!
Why Tim Loves It: For a lot of shows, the pilot episode doesn't completely pull you in. It usually takes a few more episodes before you are fully committed. "Lost" was not one of those shows. After the first ten minutes of the pilot episode, you are completely hooked. I did not start watching "Lost" until after the second season had been released to DVD, but once I started watching, it was the only thing on my television for weeks. I can't tell you how many times I said to myself, "just one more episode." Of course, that always turned into four episodes.
By the time "Lost" ended, there was a lot criticism about how it ended and questions that were left unanswered (why was Walt so important??), but it didn't take away from the adventure that was the show. Each time it ended, there were new questions and mysteries that you couldn't wait another minute to be answered.
Ultimately, "Lost" is character-driven show; you will love some of them, you will hate some of them, but they all bring something special to the show (except Nikki and Paulo). If you have not watched Lost before, it's definitely something you should add to your queue.
Where to Watch it: Netflix

Now that our Independence Day celebrations are over, we're talking about weird baby names, dogs who perform good deeds, and kid movies done right.
Last week, everyone was up in arms about the news that Kim and Kanye had named their first daughter North... West. Not that it matters what I think, but I don't hate it. I think it's kind of funny. Anyway, this week, it came out that 146 other babies in the U.S. joined the "unique baby name" bandwagon — they were all named Khaleesi, a made up word from the George R. R. Martin "A Song of Ice and Fire" books and HBO's "Game of Thrones" television series. The name means "queen" in the Dothraki language. To be fair... Daenerys Targaryen AKA Khaleesi has definitely had some of the best scenes in all of "Game of Thrones." So I will reserve my judgment.

What do a heart-wrenching episode of an HBO show, a singing 8-year-old in a music video, and sloths have in common? Absolutely nothing, but we are talking about them this week.
Technically, what happened in last week's episode of "Game of Thrones" was public knowledge prior to its air date, since George R. R. Martin released the third book in his series in 2000. But not all of us have read his novels and instead only watch the HBO series... SO THE EPISODE HURT. I won't say anything except: why? And why am I such a masochist? And why does George R. R. Martin hate us so much? Sigh. Thankfully, I'm in good company. Videos of "Game of Thrones" fans reacting to the episode have made their way around the internet. (NSFW language at the source.) The episode has effectively divided the entire fan base into "show watchers" — people like me, who will not speak of such a mortifying experience — and "book readers" — those who knew what was coming and thought it was toootally funny when the rest of us were horrified. TV watchers unite! ...As we cry ourselves to sleep waiting for the season finale this weekend.

Dining in America used to be simple. Before the 1960s, competition among food service chains was timid, with only a few established restaurants operating in a handful of formats. Over the years, factors such as the demand for healthy choices and the introduction of foreign cuisines have created an overwhelming number of eat-out options. Food industry corporations must continually work to lure in customers and maximize their guests' spending, and a handful of companies seem to have a recipe for accomplishing both. But this industry is vulnerable to trends, and staying on top takes inventive marketing, shrewd strategies and aggressive selling. To prove this point, set a budget the next time you eat out and then look for these common restaurant tactics that work to increase your spending.
1. The Upsell
All successful restaurant operators mandate their serving staff to use suggestive selling. And servers have plenty of incentive beyond their boss's bottom line, as the higher the final bill is, the larger the tip the server stands to receive. A good server sells food like a car salesman. Every menu offering is simply a base model that can be enhanced with special features. A pasta dish can be outfitted with garlic toast and upholstered with cheese. Everything's better with bacon, and who doesn't deserve a "king-sized" serving? These suave suggestions of super-sizes, appetizers, dessert, extra cheese, double burgers and double highballs can quickly double your tab, too, and these extras are often the difference between an operation being a laggard or a moneymaker.
2. Forced Waiting
Have you ever been on a restaurant's waitlist but noticed a number of open tables that you could be dining at? Many times, the restaurant has done this by design. The idea is to get you to sit in their lounge (there always seems to be room in the lounge). Here, the bar server has an opportunity to upsell you on drinks and appetizers. Often, some restaurants will bill you separately for your lounge items, which may make you feel obligated to tip both of your servers. Many diners may walk in with a budget, but when made to wait among a lounge full of food and drinks, it's tough to ignore a sudden craving or a hungry belly.
3. All-You-Can-Eat
This gluttonous proposition appeals to consumers' desire to get the most value for their dining dollars. And while there is some value in all-you-can-eat offerings, savvy restaurateurs know how to make a lot of money from the seemingly generous deal. First, the price for the entrée is often more than the regular price and the serving size is smaller. Guests are encouraged to fill up on less expensive side dishes and complimentary (see cheap) breadsticks and salad, leaving less room for refills. Second, mass-producing one item reduces the purchase and production costs of the item, allowing for a significant profit margin. To actually cost the restaurant money, a guest would need to eat numerous refills. Very few people actually go beyond two refills, so the law of averages works in the restaurant's favor.
These promotions are also great at attracting big crowds on otherwise lackluster days, and a crowded dining room creates plenty of opportunities for servers to upsell profitable add-ons. Even if a customer happens to be a competitive eater, it's likely they still have to wash down all that chow with over-priced sodas or bar drinks that balance the costs of the entrée. Even at a small loss, the restaurant can still hope to offset losses with repeat business and positive word-of-mouth advertising.
4. Fake Specials
Many restaurants reserve a place on their menu for the daily "special." Often, this unique offering is simply the food that is set to expire soonest. Featuring a dish is also a great tool for pushing high-profit menu items. Restaurants like to push big-ticket entrées as a featured item to give the impression that an upscale meal is available for less. There are real deals to be had, but it's wise to check the regular menu to see if the special is indeed less than the regular price. Many restaurants will let their guests assume that featured items receive a discount when in fact there is no savings. Being skeptical of subjective descriptions like "special" and "feature" can help you avoid paying up for false value.
5. "These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty"
TV's "Seinfeld" made an astute point about what happens when you eat too many salty snacks: You get thirsty! This scientific tidbit isn't lost on bar owners, who profit from sodium's dehydrating effects. Many bars are happy to offer free pretzels, peanuts, potato chips and popcorn (pretty much anything that's cheap and addictively salty will do the trick), knowing that customers will soon crave drinks to ease their growing thirst. Considering a keg of Heineken costs about $110, bar owners can make a $415 profit, or a 377% return on investment (ROI), selling $5 pints of beer. If you're trying to keep a modest drink tab, avoid curing your tongue with salty snacks that drive you to drink.
The Bottom Line
No matter what food you're craving, America's food service industry offers a host of options, and aggressive competition means great deals are out there. But to follow your food budget, you need to see past the slick commercials, flashing neon and limited-time promotions. By becoming impervious to restaurant sales tricks, you can avoid overspending and, by fortunate coincidence, overeating.

Game of Thrones fans still recovering from Sunday night's gruesome "Red Wedding" can gear up for next week's season finale with the preview trailer.
In Sunday's penultimate episode, fans watched in horror as King of the North Robb Stark (Richard Madden), his pregnant bride Talisa (Oona Chaplin) and matriarch Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) were trapped and slaughtered in a brutal sequence orchestrated by the Lannisters.
The shocker leaves burning questions for the finale. What will become of the Stark clan? Can the Lannisters retain their grip on the Iron Throne? Will Daenerys Targaryen be conqueror or liberator?
Check out the preview trailer for clues on what's in store for the people of Westeros.

Man, I see a lot of frayed cable ends! I guess the finishing touches have been lost over time.
I had a neighbor kid come over the other day and asked if I could fix his brakes on his new bike. The cables were so frayed, they looked like an old toothbrush. "Did your pappy do some work on the brakes?" I asked. "No, we brought it back to K-mart where we bought it and asked them to fix it, but the brakes still don't work" he said.
Look, most of us don't have the big box of 400 cable end blunts and most of us don't have the skill to solder the cable ends either. Tape wrapping is promising, but doesn't work well.
Here is a simple solution : finish the raw cable ends with a lead fishing sinker. Just open it up, slip the cable end inside the sinker, and mash it flat with a pliers. Done - professional, beautiful, and lasting.
If you are a perfectionist, use a torch to semi melt the sinker to a droplet shape.

From 1993 to 1997, Tufts University, Boston, established a partnership with a community health and social service organization to design, implement, and evaluate a didactic and practical curriculum stressing the interwoven concepts of culture and community for the improved training of health professionals.
The project was part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) national program Health of the Public: An Academic Challenge.
Tufts University School of Medicine was one of the original Health of the Public participants, joining the program in 1987. In the first round, it expanded the population perspective within the curriculum and in the overall focus of the medical school, including the institution and growth of a combined MD/MPH degree program.
In the project, Tufts University formed a partnership with South Cove Community Health Center, the major provider of community health and social services to residents of Boston's Chinatown and surrounding Asian communities.
Key Results: Tufts reported the following results of this partnership:

U.S. telecommunications regulation has long been characterized by contentious disputes. Pricing, subsidies, and legal authority to regulate have certainly been prominent, but one other theme has been prominent if not dominant: rights of access to incumbent networks. Past disputes of this sort led to a series of separation rules that, in part because of their cumbersome nature, resulted in a judicial rather than regulatory remedy, the 1984 breakup of (the "old") AT&T into a nominally competitive long distance and equipment companies and seven regulated local exchange monopolies.
It hardly needs to be said that the telecommunications landscape has changed considerably since the 1984 divestiture. Thanks to the ubiquity of packet-switching and the explosive growth in mobile communications, the long distance and voice service landline markets central to the antitrust case are almost distant memories. But disputes over pricing, subsidies, legal authority, and rights of access remain. They have moved over to the broadband internet services provided both through landlines (cable television systems or telephone company digital subscriber line service ("DSL") and fiber-optic service) and to mobile smartphones over cellular communications networks.
Perhaps the most contentious of these issues is network or "net" neutrality. Although some observers have found it an elastic concept, the central idea is nondiscrimination-that providers of broadband internet service should treat all content identically, in particular not block any content, and let users know how they manage content.

Hello guys and girls, first time post long time owner! I have a Signature Model S and have loved the car since i got it, i've had a few issues but none more pressing than the lack of handling capability with the Model S. I was wondering how everyone else feels about the handling ability. Bottomline i'm not very happy with it, currently with 26K miles that has been the one reason i haven't been happy driving the car. Switching lanes at high speed the car feels like a saloon, very heavy tremendous body sway... its feels more like my Ford Excursion than my Panamera Turbo S which i love to drive.
P85+. Cures what ails ya ;)
If it feels like a "saloon", that may be because it is one, and a heavy one at that. I agree with most every auto journalist who has driven the Model S, that for a car of its mass it handles very well indeed. I have no idea what you mean by "tremendous body sway"; our P85 tracks precisely in lateral moves.
You could always unload the Model S and get a second Panamera if the S seems like a pig to you.
You do have the steering set to "sport", right?
For being as heavy as it is, I'm quite happy with the feel of the handling. But then I don't have a Panamera Turbo S to compare it to...
I don't know what it is but you seem to have a big problem there. Coming from Cayman S, arguably the best handling sports car in the industry, I feel that MS handles very good. In fact I think it handles great. Granted it's a heavier car with a much longer wheel base but my P85+ corners as fast as I could ever wanted and I'm a very aggressive driver. I have driven a 60 kWh loaner with 19" wheel which is not too shabby for a car this size either imo. Much better than a LS460 unless you really prefer the soft floating handling.
It is a saloon by any measure and I find the handling to be quick and responsive but without oversteer as I have had from other cars in this size and weight class.
Don't know what you're talking about. Mine handles just fine.
You probably have the air suspension which many seem to feel is a bit floaty. The + or coils helps this.
Well, if the OP is talking about the lateral movement of the *driver*, due to the lack of effective sport seats, then I agree. Otherwise, I disagree, most especially considering it's weight.
I have a P85 Sig too. The P85+ is an improvement in handling.
My last car was a coupe but, pretty essentially the same size and weight. It was the tank of sports cars and a great drive. I was hard pressed to find another car like it today that even came close. The cornering handling was more precise than the Model S and I've been thinking some of the difference is due to the longer wheelbase.
Lolachampcar made mods to his Model S to improve handling. You can find threads on it here an at TMC.
The Model S still isn't a slouch when it comes to handling and fits in the high performance category. The responsiveness of the acceleration and deceleration can't be beat. That was the major factor that let me say goodbye my prior car. My old car was pretty awesome in that department too, but the Model S beats it.
How did Motor Trend, Consumer Reports, and almost every other auto publication miss this? Amazing!
I've owned and driven other sport sedans, and my P85 handles great. It is more sensitive to cross winds, but as a point and shoot highway sprinter its perfect.
Maybe have service check your suspension. I have over 27k on my 7 month old car, and no abnormal tire wear, with great handling.
I respectfully disagree. The static weight never goes away, no matter the P or P+. What the OP describes is almost entirely ascribed to the high curb weight. It's ponderous, and I have said so right from the day I first test drove the car to this day when I enjoy my 60kwh. One of the main reasons I went for a 60 is because of the lower curb weight. It manifests itself in quick lane changes and when driving fast through curvy switchbacks.
Having gotten that out of the way. Now to address OP's point: I have driven the most directly comparable car to the Tesla: a BMW 750i, sport package. Handling characteristics were slightly better on the BMW, but not by much. Tesla is a tremendous car owing to its 48-52 rear biased static weight distribution. With so little weight riding on the front axle, the steering feedback is phenomenal. It's ride and handling compromise is awesome. The only issue is the sudden departure of rear tires from traction when pushed to its limits. That is addressable by better tuning of the suspension. Next time, possibly. Hopefully.
I drove a P85, wasn't much different except for the occasionally slippage... do the 21inch rims have a negative effect?
Steering is at sport
jcarspa1, you're right "floaty" is the word.
I drive an SP (21s in the Summer/19s in the Winter). Past cars include BMW, Lexus & Volvo. I observe none of the handling concerns that @kosamor reports. My experience is quite the opposite -- amazing handling and stability for a vehicle of this weight, actually any vehicle I have driven....
I have coils (sorry I thought the air was a waste of $$ and I'm not swimming in cash) and I don't notice this floaty feel. Is there something you can adjust in the air to decrease it? I actually gunned it through a turn in a red light tonight and felt no sway or drift air-less.
Did you discuss it with Tesla? You should. Something is very wrong with your car. It should not be "floaty" at all.
My P85 handles incredibly well. If your car lacks in the handling dept. like you suggest, I would get it looked at because like others have said something must be wrong.
The Tesla handles great, but a Porsche pano turbo S is more of a sports car and does handle better at the limit. It also costs more, is louder, only seats four and has other issues. As a track car the Porsche is better but as a street sedan the Tesla is a better all around car. The Tesla is not an s-class mb nor a Porsche turbo S, it blends both to create an amazing all around car, but is not the absolute best at everything. Decide what is important.
@ kosamor if you're coming off of a lower-end sedan the Model S handles better than almost anything else out there.
That said, if you've been driving a Porsche Panamera the regular non + version of the Tesla doesn't quite match 50 years of Porsche suspension tuning. I have a P85, and I also previously had a Porsche Panamera, and the difference in handling on tight mountain curves is noticeable. The Panamera hugs the road, the Tesla floats and wanders in tight curves.
Given when the P85+ was announced it appears Tesla figured that out as well. (They adroitly turned a suspension bug fix not noticed by most people into a new high performance product.)
When I got a P85+ loaner it was clear Tesla fixed the suspension to approach but not quite match the Panamera.
One suggestion: I brought my car in for service in Feb and they found some of the slop/drift was to due to missing Front Lower Control Arm Washers. After they did that update and an alignment the car handled better. Ask your service center if you have that upgrade.
I have 20,000 miles on my Tesla and while I also notice the difference in handling I've rationalized it as tradeoff to all the other features of the Model S. No other car has ever made me smile so much.
That said, this version of the Model S is not up to Panamera handling. If that's going to be the primary issue for you getting maximum enjoyment of what you drive, you should consider other vehicles until Tesla catches up. Given their engineering prowess I don't doubt that they'll eventually come out with a model that does so.
"Lolachampcar made mods to his Model S to improve handling. You can find threads on it here an at TMC." thanks i'll look it up.
"The Tesla handles great (handles ok), but a Porsche pano turbo S is more of a sports car and does handle better at the limit." That's all i'm saying. The only issue by the way is i have to pay for services on the Porsche...
"I have coils (sorry I thought the air was a waste of $$ and I'm not swimming in cash)" I thought KidDoc's WERE swimming in cash, which by the way has nothing to do with my position!
Redshift knows what i'm talking about, the "curvy switchbacks" there's almost a delay, it should be more responsive on the steering. The acceleration is fine, no emissions, great.
Don't wont to ruffle the feathers of the sensitive birds that feel the Model S is the best thing smoking, or not, but it's absolutely scary to drive that car at a 110mph and try to make a quick lane change, i do it anyway but... I'll take it in to Tesla or try and find a fix. Thanks
Coming from a VW Sharan -> Renaul Espace -> Volvo XC90, so to me the Model S is just great!
It does need the "sports" mode steering when you're at high speed or on a twisty road, otherwise it's too vague and I lack confidence to push it. I noticed on a S85 with 21" that the handling felt much better, but just couldn't live with those rims around Brussels (unfortunately).
Could be too the stock all-season tyres on the 19" just aren't as good as they could be and a proper set of summer tyres could make a big difference too.
I'm sure all this is written elsewhere...
Thanks sblank, i wondered if anybody else felt this... I did the washers thing but only thing that changed was the noise on full rotation on the steering wheel disappeared. I guess we just have to wait for the steering to be tuned more precisely by Tesla engineers. I wish they would call me to test drive it first, JK, not really. I suppose if i didn't have another car to compare it to my opinion might be different. But you know what i mean, between both of those cars there's such a difference. Honestly it makes me jump in the Porsche 95% percent of the time. I love what Tesla is doing and support them, shit i own 2, i just want it to be better.
Dumb question - did you have your rear suspension washers replaced?
kosamor - I'm certainly no engineer, but please do try out the P85+ and see what you think. When I test drove the P85 and P85+ back to back, there was definitely a strong reduction in the "sway" feeling on a curvy backroad near the shop. I'm not sure if it's the swaybars, the tire set-up, or the tuning that made the difference, but in all aspects of handling I could feel the difference. It's just much more sure-footed on higher speed maneuvers, including cornering and even just switching lanes. The ride was also a bit harsher. As others mentioned, Lolachampcar made some sweet modifications to his car that have further improved the handling, and he goes into more detail on the TMC site.
For reference, I was coming from a BMW (F10 550), so not the most agile of cars.
I don't have a steering delay. I just notice I have to turn the steering wheel a hair more than what I am used to having come from high performance coupes.
When I say that my last car was a bit better, I guess I should mention that it was a $110k car in the early 1990's.
That is why I say that the Model S is no slouch when it comes to high performance cars.
sbeggs mentioned that her and the hubby found if they added some weight to the frunk, there was a marked imporvment in the handling. Maybe OP could try that.
Also, tires are a huge variable. Porsche goes aggressive and low profile, whereas Tesla goes more all season. An aggressive set of high performance tires will greatly improve turn in and reduce float at the expense of wear and added noise.
A suspension expert can also adjust the suspension more to your liking, not just factory spec, but to respond more like the Porsche.
I doubt Tesla will ever make the car respond like the Porsche as the car is designed to appeal to the MOST people, as is can't be perfect for everyone. Some want a smoother ride, some want a more aggressive ride, you can't have both. Making it corner and ride like the Porsche would upset a LOT of people.
For me, I drive my Porsche when I want the extra sound and performance, but the Tesla the other 90% of the time, and I am a avid Porsche guy (at least until I bought the Tesla...)
Yep i changed the all seasons to Pilot Super Sports. It grips when you hold a turn but "switchbacks"... Will Tesla change the suspension to a P85+ style? Am sure at a cost... I'm on my way to Tesla to loan the P85+ for a week. Looking forward to the comparison. Last time i had it for a few minutes on a test drive i only noticed the faster acceleration.
