Improving Content ID for creators
Friday, April 29, 2016
[Cross-posted from the
YouTube Creator blog
At YouTube, one of our core values is a belief in the freedom of opportunity. We believe anyone should have the opportunity to earn money from the videos they create and turn their channels into successful businesses. That's why we opened up the YouTube Partner Program nine years ago and why we remain the only platform where anyone with an idea and a camera can turn their videos into full time jobs.
We understand just how important revenue is to our creator community, and we've been
closely to concerns about the loss of monetization during the Content ID dispute process. Currently videos that are claimed and disputed don't earn revenue for anyone, which is an especially frustrating experience for creators if that claim ends up being incorrect while a video racks up views in its first few days.
Today, we're announcing a major step to help fix that frustrating experience. We're developing a new solution that will allow videos to earn revenue while a Content ID claim is being disputed. Here's how it will work: when both a creator and someone making a claim choose to monetize a video, we will continue to run ads on that video and hold the resulting revenue separately. Once the Content ID claim or dispute is resolved, we'll pay out that revenue to the appropriate party.
We're working on this new system now and hope to roll it out to all YouTube partners in the coming months. Here's a closer look at how it'll work once it's live:
We strongly believe in fair use and believe that this improvement to Content ID will make a real difference. In addition to our work on the Content ID dispute process, we're also paying close attention to creators' concerns about copyright claims on videos they believe may be fair use. We want to help both the YouTube community and copyright owners alike better understand what fair use looks like online, which is why we launched our
fair use protection program
last year and recently introduced
new Help Center pages
on this topic.
Even though Content ID claims are disputed less than 1% of the time, we agree that this process could be better. Making sure our Content ID tools are being used properly is deeply important to us, so we've built a dedicated team to monitor this. Using a combination of algorithms and manual review, this team has resolved millions of invalid claims in the last year alone, and acted on millions more before they impacted creators. The team also restricts feature access and even terminates a partner's access to Content ID tools if we find they are repeatedly abusing these tools.
We will continue to invest in both people and technology to make sure that Content ID keeps working for creators and rightsholders. We want to thank everyone who's shared their concerns about unintended effects from Content ID claims. It's allowed us to create a better system for everyone and we hope to share more updates soon.

Supporting the innovators of the future
Friday, April 22, 2016
All parents dream about what their children will grow up to do. Will they be a nurse? A farmer? A scientist or a performer?
Increasingly, they are asking themselves if their children will one day work in one of the countless career paths that are being transformed by technology.
Computer science, or CS, is helping people to innovate in an increasing number of professions, from hospitality to hospitals. You don't have to become a computer scientist, but having skills in computational thinking and coding it and combining it with your passion will open up a world of opportunities.
shows that 75% of the fastest growing occupations require skills in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), which are the building blocks for a career in CS.
We believe New Zealand's innovation, growth and future prosperity depends on developing critical skills in STEM.
A career in CS begins in the classroom. Teachers are the key to both educating and inspiring the next generation of innovators in the classroom and we're delighted to continue supporting their development through our Computer Science for High Schools (
) program.
Teachers participating in a robotics workshop at Google
CS4HS provides teachers with the skills and resources they need to teach computational thinking and computer science concepts in fun and engaging ways. To date, CS4HS has trained more than 20,000 teachers, reaching an estimated 1 million students in more than 400 locations worldwide. Closer to home, we are supporting four organisations in New Zealand that will provide this important training to K-12 school teachers (the full list is below). This year, we hope to reach around 3,500 high school, primary school and pre-service Aussie and Kiwi teachers.
In addition to the workshops, we are also providing
free online professional teacher development
in partnership with Adelaide University.
If you want to know where computer science can take kids, have a look at
Careers with Code
. In the future, young New Zealanders will use computer science to do great things. And it will all have started with a great teacher.
We're pleased to announce this year's recipients of the CS4HS grants in New Zealand.

YouTube Gaming comes to New Zealand
Friday, March 11, 2016
Super Mario may be an oldie but a goodie—but the new
Super Mario Maker
has won me over. As a relatively new fan, I've been eager to watch
let's plays
, and
on YouTube to dig deeper and learn from others. (Oh, and I'm loving the fan-made
music tributes
too.) As the top video destination for gaming content, YouTube is a place where I can connect with and learn from an incredible and innovative community around my favourite games.
YouTube Gaming in New Zealand
Today, we're making the YouTube Gaming mobile app available on iOS and Android in New Zealand. YouTube Gaming is an app that keeps you connected to the games, players, and culture that matter to you, with videos, live streams, and the biggest community of gamers on the web—all in one place. We launched YouTube Gaming in the U.S. and U.K. last August, and today we're inviting new players in Australia and New Zealand to join us.
Finding videos of the games you love
YouTube Gaming helps you find your favourite games and gamers, with more videos than anywhere else. We automatically pull in all gaming-related videos and live streams from YouTube to YouTube Gaming. From "Asteroids" to "Zelda," more than 25,000 games will each have their own page, a single place for all the best videos and live streams about that title. You'll also find channels from a wide array of game publishers and YouTube creators.
Keeping up with these games and channels is super easy, too. Add a game to your collection for quick access whenever you want to check up on the latest videos, or subscribe to a channel to get a notification as soon as they start a live stream.
Uncover new favourites with recommendations based on the games and channels you love. And when you want something specific, you can search with confidence, knowing that typing "call" will show you "Call of Duty" and not "Call Me Maybe."
Top gamer
Lachlan - Minecraft & More
's channel and the live chat feature on the YouTube Gaming app on mobile, tablet, and desktop
Live streams and mobile gameplay
We know live streams bring the gaming community closer together, so we've created a dedicated destination for them within YouTube Gaming. On Android, we've also made it simpler to broadcast your gameplay to YouTube. You can now record and live stream mobile gameplay on-the-go directly from Android devices using Mobile Capture in YouTube Gaming. You don't need any additional hardware or software—just tap Go Live in the YouTube Gaming app, turn on your selfie cam and record your commentary with your phone's microphone.
We hope you enjoy trying out the new YouTube Gaming app, and look forward to watching and playing more together.

Google Science Fair 2016: #howcanwe make the world better with science?
Wednesday, March 2, 2016
"Get your hands dirty, start early, fail as fast as you can, and take risks."
Words from a sage old entrepreneur? No—that's advice from 17-year-old Singaporean Girish Kumar, one of the winners of last year's
Google Science Fair
, dishing out tips for anyone thinking of submitting their science or engineering projects that could
change the world
and win some
pretty amazing prizes
—a web-based study tool that automatically generates multiple-choice questions from educational texts online—won him the Google Technologist Award. Girish told us that participating in the competition helped bring his work that spans artificial intelligence, machine learning and natural language processing from theory to the next level, and really bring it to life. It was also a way for him to make new friends who share a passion for taking research and putting it in the hands of everyday people.
If that inspires you, and if you have an awesome idea that you think can help make the world a better place, then it's time to
sign up for the 2016 competition
Girish wasn't the only winner representing Asia at last year's Science Fair. 13-year old
Lalita Srisai
from Odisha in India showed us how corn cobs can be used to filter water. She was inspired to a find a way to build a cheap but efficient water filtration system using a part of the corn that usually goes to waste.
These are just some of the innovative ideas that young people around Asia have to help solve problems—big and small. If you're between 13 and 18 years old, now's the time to
submit your project
to show how scientific enquiry and problem solving can change the world. And if you're looking for advice on how to get ahead, or possibly even win, just remember what Girish said. :)

Do I stay or do I go now? Google Maps has the answer in one tap.
Thursday, January 14, 2016
It's almost 5 p.m. Wednesday—time for that daily game of traffic roulette. The likelihood of stop and go traffic looms in front of you, yet at the same time the latest episode of Downton Abbey and the comfort of your couch are calling.
Well, Google Maps has good news for you. Now with just one tap on Android, you can find out whether you should hit the road or put in some gym time while you wait out the gridlock. Get information like ETAs, traffic updates, nearby gas prices and quickest routes to familiar places–like home, work and recently searched destinations–all without entering a destination.
To add a driving shortcut, press on your homescreen until Android widgets appear, then select the Google Maps driving shortcut icon.
You can also access this feature through the sidebar menu in Google Maps. Tap the sidebar menu and select the "Start Driving" option.
If you've preset home and work in Google Maps, you'll see ETAs at times when you're likely to be heading to these destinations. If you have location history enabled, we base these suggestions on location data, time of day and day of week. And if you're logged in, we'll suggest destinations based on recent Google Maps and Google searches when you open driving mode.
Why join the masses in bumper-to-bumper chaos when your time could be spent doing something else? With quick access to traffic info, it's now easier to make the call.

The Year in Search: The Moments that Defined 2015
Wednesday, December 16, 2015
Each year at this time, we reflect on the moments that made us laugh, made us cry, and made us search, via our annual Year in Search. This was a year in which we celebrated a rugby win and lost a rugby hero in quick succession, and were captivated by news stories from the tragic Nepal earthquake to the new Royal baby.
Watch our video to rediscover the events, people and topics that defined 2015 around the world:
The hopes of a nation
It was always going to be a huge year for rugby, but the Cricket World Cup actually pipped the Rugby World Cup in terms of top trending searches for the year. The untimely passings of two of our most beloved rugby heroes, Jonah Lomu and Jerry Collins, topped the trending Kiwis that we were all searching for, and while Red Peak Flag was the most searched for off all the flag designs, it failed to carry the referendum earlier this month.
How did they do that?
'How to' searches are always particularly representative of the trends sweeping a country, but this year Kiwis were concerned with the quotidian - how to write a CV, how to lose weight, how to draw, and how to tie a tie.
What the?
We're a curious bunch, and this year we were just as into the big tough topics (Isis, TPPA) as the metaphysical (love, the meaning of life), and the … well, grammatical (what is a noun, what is a verb). Parents should also check out the internet lingo list so they know their emojis from their dubsmashes.
Here are New Zealand's top trending searches of 2015:

Travel Blogs from Vilnius
Friday June 5th 'The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page' St Augustine. Famous words but ones I think we certainly agree with as we awaken to the 6'oclock bells of the convent right outside our window. The old town runs east to west down a hill. At the top are the Gates of Dawn where we are. The gates are part of the town …
Moscow to Vilnius
Thursday 4 June, 5am Out of bed, feet on the floor, shower, pack and down to reception as the taxi is there at 6. The hotel has packed us breakfasts and hot coffee and tea and in spite of threats of major traffic there is little and we get to the airport ridiculously early.

... and a date plaque. On the 23rd of august 1989 the peoples of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia formed a 650 km long human chain holding hands from the town square of Vilnius all the way to Tallinn on the north coast of Estonia in protest to Russian dominance in their country. It worked as some time later the Russians did leave and all three countries gained their independence. ...

Yet another old town

Prospect news: Nastasiuk, Bertuzzi can't crack Russians at Super Series; on Hicketts & Griffins news
by George Malik on 11/14/14 at 02:13 AM ET
Comments (0)
Some of this is new and some of this is "old prospect news," but I hope it's still pertinent.
First and foremost, the Subway Super Series has surprised the hell out of most everybody because the Russian Hockey Federation usually sends a middling squad of players to the WHL-OHL-and-QMJHL series, but this time around, they've dominated.
Wings prospect Joe Hicketts had very good outings in the WHL portion of the series, registering an assist in the WHL's 3-2 loss to Russia on Monday and scoring a goal in Russia's 3-2 win on Tuesday--and Hicketts levied a hard hit that sent Maxim Mamin off on a stretcher...
But as the series shifted to the OHL and Peterborough, Ontario, Thursday, Zach Nastasiuk (who will also play in Monday's game in Kingston) didn't register a point in Russia's 4-0 win, and Tyler Bertuzzi chose to showcase his talents in a single game by taking a roughing penalty that led to Russia's 4-0 goal and getting 2-and-10 for running Igor Shestyorkin late in the game.
The Peterborough Exmainer's Mike Davies reports that the Russians simply put up a wall...

Garrioch: Bryan Murray has stage 4 colon cancer
by George Malik on 11/13/14 at 10:53 PM ET
Comments (8)
Edit: wrong blog, story still awful.
This is just terrible news, from the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch:
Bryan Murray is facing the toughest fight of his life. And he's determined to battle this one head-on. Speaking for the first time publicly in a glimpse at his cancer treatment with TSN's Michael Farber, the Senators GM confirmed in a segment that aired on Thursday night that he is battling Stage 4 colon cancer.
Murray also has spots on his lung and liver. The doctors are hopeful the treatments will lengthen his life.
"There is no cure for me at this point," Murray said in the powerful five-minute story that aired on TSN5's pre-game show before the Senators-Oilers match last night. "The word is we'll keep doing chemo and, hopefully, reduce the tumours and the effect and I'll get some time out of that."
Accompanied by Farber, a former Sports Illustrated columnist and a cancer survivor himself, to one of his regular chemotherapy treatments at The Ottawa Hospital, Murray opened up about his disease.
"It's a battle. There's no question," Murray said. "There's a lot of emotion involved in it. There's a lot of down days. You try not to have too many. There are a lot of good days and you try to have more of them."
Garrioch continues, and TSN's geoblocking their videos now, but they didn't block Farber's seven-minute conversation with Murray.

Griffins coach Jeff Blashill plans on giving Anthony Mantha as much ice time as he can take
by George Malik on 11/13/14 at 05:39 PM ET
Comments (0)
The Grand Rapids Griffins sent Shane Berschbach to the Toledo Walleye to make room for a certain Anthony Mantha, who's expected to make his pro debut with the Griffins during tomorrow night and Saturday's games against the Texas Stars.
With a press box full of scribes who would usually be taking in the Red Wings' only home game against Chicago, there are a whole lot of expectations upon a player who's missed two months with a broken leg to deliver some sort of virtuoso performance, and that worries me.
Mantha's going to take at least a few games to truly get into game shape (he's continued to work out and he's practiced for the better part of a week now, but even the Datsyuks of the world will tell you that it takes game action to truly "get your wind back"), and it's going to take a month or two for Mantha to truly adjust to playing AHL hockey and playing pro hockey against players who are 10 years older and 20 pounds heavier than the 6'5," 217-pound winger.
According to the Grand Rapids Press's Peter J. Wallner, Griffins coach Jeff Blashill plans on seeing what big #8 can handle in terms of ice time right out of the gate..

Off the glass and in for Ryan Sproul
by George Malik on 11/13/14 at 05:22 PM ET
Comments (0)
During last night's Grand Rapids Griffins win over Lake Erie, Ryan Sproul did this:
Per the Griffins' YouTube channel:
ESPN's Joe DeMartino took note of the shot:
Normally, missing the net entirely on a slap shot is not the best way to score a goal. The whole point is to get the puck "in the net," not "a foot over the goalie's head."
Don't tell that to Ryan Sproul of the AHL Grand Rapids Griffins, who hopefully called "bank" on this shot.
By the by, let's extend some sympathy to poor Lake Erie Monsters goaltender Calvin Pickard, who literally did not see that goal coming.

Practice post: It appears that Datsyuk will return to Red Wings' lineup Friday
by George Malik on 11/13/14 at 12:56 PM ET
Comments (1)
Updated 9x at 2:48 PM: The Red Wings will resume play against the Chicago Blackhawks tomorrow night (7:30 PM EST on FSD/CSN Chicago/97.1 FM; Chicago has a 9-6-and-1 record and last played on Tuesday, defeating Tampa Bay 3-2 in a shootout), and starting on Friday, the Wings play on an every-other-night-or-more basis until December 7th, playing 13 games over the course of 24 days.
The Macomb Daily's Chuck Pleiness reported something along the lines of "no changes save Datsyuk returning to the lineup alongside Tomas Jurco" from Thursday's practice...
Babcock has same players dressed in same colors at practice today. Cleary, Weiss and Nestrasil all in Gray.
Babcock going with same lines he used at practice Wednesday, which means Jurco out there with Datsyuk and Abdelkader

Report: Daniel Alfredsson to decide whether to retire or return to Red Wings 'before December'
by George Malik on 11/13/14 at 11:14 AM ET
Comments (7)
From Sportsnet's Luke Fox:
It sounds like we could be mere days away from a Daniel Alfredsson decision.
"Sources say a decision on Daniel Alfredsson's future will likely come before December," TVA Sports reporter Louis Jean tweeted Thursday morning. "If Alfredsson doesn't skate with the Wings in the next week or so, he'll likely retire."
Alfredsson is an unrestricted free agent who is only interested in re-signing with the Red Wings. He will turn 42 on Dec. 11. The veteran, who led Detroit in scoring last year, was skating with the club in September, but his training was derailed by back problems.
The Wings have left the door open for Alfredsson to return. The Swede still wants to win a Stanley Cup, but it's been several weeks since he has laced up his skates.
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported last month that Alfredsson would need to skate pain-free for two weeks straight in order to feel comfortable with a return.

The Malik Report is a destination for all things Red Wings-related. I offer biased, perhaps unprofessional-at-times and verbose coverage of my favorite team, their prospects and developmental affiliates. I've joined the Kukla's Korner family with five years of blogging under my belt, and I hope you'll find almost everything you need to follow your Red Wings at a place where all opinions are created equal and we're all friends, talking about hockey and the team we love to follow.

This lip balm gets three stars for its pure ingredients and the scent. It has a lovely clean spearmint scent and feels very fresh. I can't rate it any higher though, because I don't like its other qualities. If you just glide it over your lips once or twice it goes on very thin and doesn't moisturise at all, it even feels drying. The only way it seems to work for me is if I go over my lips with it several times in order to get a thick layer on, then it seems to do its job. It's not even that it's too hard to apply, it's actually kind of soft. Must be the fact that it's based on olive oil which doesn't seem to work for me at all in lip balms, and now I regret buying the pomegranate one which is the same composition, just a different scent/ flavour. Good thing it was cheap.
Posted by Reviewer2359183 on Dec 27, 2014
I prefer Badger lip balms, which seem more moisturizing and have purer ingredients. But, I got this for free, and it works well enough.

Regular lip balm.
Mint lip balm
Posted by namsze on Nov 03, 2014
+ Moisturising + Cheap - Need to reapply every 3-4 hours - Mint flavour isn't strong enough
Not soft enough
Posted by aunatural on Oct 13, 2014
There's a little bit too much beeswax compared to oil, which makes for a harder consistency. I prefer a balm that spreads more easily. The peppermint is nice but I will just stick to making my own lip balm, which has a stronger hit of mint too!
Good, but the minty flavor could be stronger
Posted by j44lee on Sep 04, 2014
The mint flavor is a little weak but not bad.

Very Appreciative
I am so thankful for Dr. Dust. Casey was constantly sick when he was younger and no other vet could figure out what was wrong. My mom had the same problem with our dog, so she began going to Dr. Dust and was very happy with him. Because of this, I made an appointment for Casey and he figured out right away what was wrong with him. He is always very patient (and I have to admit Casey is not exactly cooperative at his appointments) and makes sure all of my questions are answered before we are finished. I am very grateful for the care that both of my cats have received at VCA for that past 8 years.

Enough about how Pumas UNAM was supposed to fold after gutting its lineup in the glow of last May's celebration for winning the Mexican Primera Division's spring Clausura championship.
1. TEAM TO BEAT: Pumas might be No. 1 in the standings, but No. 1 in Mexico's heart (sorry, America) is Guadalajara -- and it increasingly looks like Chivas could claim a record 12th Primera Division title this fall, and their first since 2006.
Would have been nice to see two others on the list, major figures who finished up with Chivas USA: backliners Claudio Suarez and Ramon Ramirez.
Calexico's Isaac Acuńa set up Renato Gonzalez's 89th-minute equalizer that gave America a 2-2 draw at unbeaten UANL Tigres. ... Pachuca had a statement-making 3-0 victory over Toluca, a 3-0 romp. ... Monterrey fell for the first time this season, a 1-0 loss at San Luis on Christian Suarez's early goal. ... Dayro Moreno scored a fine seventh-minute goal for Tijuana, but the Xolos couldn't hold on in a 1-1 home draw with Puebla. ... Two games for Carlos Ruiz with Veracruz, and the (apparently former) Liga de Ascenso powerhouse hasn't scored. In fact, no goals (and six conceded) for the Tiburones Rojos (0-3-0) all season -- they're the only pointless team in the second tier.
Last week's results (home teams listed first)
Jornada 5
Morelia 1 (Manso 53), Guadalajara 2 (og Y. Corona 50, A. Gallardo 79)
San Luis 1 (C. Sanchez 11), Monterrey 0

University of Minnesota Health is a world leader in pancreas transplant surgeries. We performed the world's first pancreas transplant in 1966. With this surgery, we proved that a person with diabetes can live without insulin injections. Since then, our transplant surgeons have performed over 1,400 pancreas transplants, or 10 percent of the world's procedures, at the University of Minnesota Medical Center.
University of Minnesota Health is home to the oldest and largest living-donor pancreas transplant program. In 1979, we performed the world's first partial-pancreas transplant from a living related donor.
Also in 1966, we performed the world's first simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant for patients in kidney failure. By performing a living-donor kidney transplant followed by a pancreas transplant, physicians were able to protect the new kidney from damage caused by diabetes.

King James Version (KJV)
9And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. 10And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 11And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 12And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 13And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

"My family continues to be hilarious," reports Jackie Kashian. "My father likes to ask, 'How come you don't talk about your brothers and sister more?' I say, 'Because you keep opening your mouth and saying things that are hilarious, and I have to repeat them in public.'" Dad's getting a bit of a break though, as Kashian has started talking more about Andy, her husband of five years. "I've never even had a boyfriend before," she says. "Standup is all I did. And occasionally I would meet a fella, nature would take its course, and I'd feel pretty." That system had its limitations, as Kashian only knew about relationships through the jokes of the male comics who she performed with. "There are basically three jokes male comics tell about their wives," she says. "One: Once you get married, women stop having sex. Two: They spend all your money. Three: They're all bitches, man." So, for the past five years Kashian has stuck to a carefully crafted plan to make sure none of those are true of her. "I'm making sure everyone is happy in the sack, I don't hemorrhage his money, and if I have a negative emotion, I stuff it. Because that will never backfire." 18+. (Photo by Michael Helms)

An early photo of Radavist contributor Morgan Taylor's trail dog, Denver, has just been featured over at Bicycling Mag's Instagram on the last day of their Raddest Dogs photo contest. We submitted our own rad shot of Golden Saddle Cyclery shop dog, Stella – which you can vote for until 11:59 p.m. ET, tonight! For the full story behind this photo, head over to the Bicycling feed, and follow the life and times of Morgan and Denver on Instagram.
By utilizing the Exposure platform, collapsable fender company Ass Savers has started a new platform for sharing photos, beginning with the Red Hook Crit Milano. Head on over to the Ass Savers Journal for the photos and story.
Stella is the official shop dog of Golden Saddle Cyclery and it just so happens Bicycling is running a Bicycling Dogs contest. We told Stella if she wins, we'll give her whatever she wants and shoot a video of her eating it.
I almost don't want to show you these, because as you might have guessed, they were a gift to "friends and family" of Bike Mag. Ever since architecture school, where I explored WWI razzle dazzle camouflage and its potential for a building's façade I fell in love with the seemingly random pattern language. Since then I've enjoyed seeing it appear literally all over pop culture and now, the cycling industry.
My favorite dirt shoes are the Empire VR90s and while I'll always default on black, these shoes are a piece of art. I'm honored to own a pair so to the crew at Giro and Bike Mag, thanks for making them happen! Check out more photos below.
Ten years, ten hills, ten attempts at proving yourself to your peers that you're a fast mofo. Or just an excuse to wake up at 6:30am on a Sunday to ride bikes up the steepest hills in Los Angeles with a bunch of like-minded individuals. I've heard of this event before. Year after year, it's organized by Matt Ruscigno, an ex-BMXr from the NorthEast, which is where the S&M bikes reference comes from: "Feel My Legs I'm a Racer…"
The human condition of putting oneself through excruciating pain for personal betterment is something that Matt taps into with Feel My Legs. You don't have to win the day's ten climbs to feel a sense of accomplishment. In fact, for many of the racers, just making it up Fargo Street (the steepest residential street in California) was enough.
My morning began with coffee and a scone. Ok, two scones. Then I hopped on my touring bike, loaded up my camera equipment and went to the start of the event. I could only tag along for the first five climbs but I pretty good grasp on the event…
The title of this post comes from an email someone just sent over that ended with "Have a great weekend in your new LA backyard!" I felt it was a good segue into some photos I shot today with my buddy Hans up in the Verdugo mountains, just a 20 minute pedal from my front door.
Weekends are great like that. Hope you're taking advantage of the short days.

This past January, I flew from balmy Vancouver BC to a surprisingly frigid Austin TX to hang out at the US Cyclocross National Championships. The trip itinerary included meeting friends from the internet, watching some racing (the ones that didn't get cancelled), and most importantly, racing John's Crash Nationals Race. Unsanctioned "Bandit Cross" style races were new to me at this point in time and I didn't really know what to expect… (more…)
I don't get to ride my road bike up in these parts often, but when I do, I really fall in love with Northern California all over again. Today we took off for the coast, via a bunch of back roads before jammin' back inland via the Russian River. Chilled wine, herbal supplements and baked goods a plenty were consumed. Corners were cooked and freehubs sated. It was a good time with old friends and new. Road bikes are rad…
If you've never ridden in this part of the country, you really have to. Next time I'm bringing my mountain bike!
MANY MANY thanks to Chris King, Chris Diminno from Gourmet Century for catering this weekend, Argonaut Cycles and John from Santa Rosa for sharing his local routes with us!

Can you play the video in QuickTime? Try right clicking the video and choosing the option to show in Explorer. Then right click the video and open with QuickTime Player.

Thanks for the reply. I had already tried playing it in Quicktime and VLC(?), but it's as if there's no content when you look in the folder. I reinstalled iTunes, deleted the episode, and re-downloaded the episode and same problem. ??

did you ever get this fixed? I have tried downloading a new quicktime and also trying to watch it in explorer and no difference.

in response to teacher_k
What likely happened is a status change with your iTunes store account. Somehow your ability to play purchased material has been compromised.
The fix is to simply deauthorize and then reauthorize your computer. Both options are located in the Store tab in the iTunes menu bar at the very top of your screen.
Hope this helps!

I had an identical problem and was able to solve it by following Apple's instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
The problem had something to do with add-ins because when I ran iTunes in Safe Mode (by holdeing Shift-Ctrl during launch) -- which disables addins -- the movies appeared correctly. But... I wasn't able to actually find any addins that were the root cause of the problem, so I decided to try a full reinstall per the link above. I didn't want to have to run in Safe Mode all the time; I was just using it to diagnose the problem.
I see that you've already tried re-installing some pieces, so I can't guarantee that these instructions will work any better. The only thing I'll mention is that the instructions make a point of listing six products to un-install, and that you need to un-install them in a specific order. Possibly you re-installed only iTunes and not the other supporting products? Here is the full list (in the correct order):
- iTunes
- QuickTime
- Apple Software Update
- Apple Mobile Device Support
- Bonjour
- Apple Application Support
Good luck.

Oh, something else to mention. The other show I downloaded played fine. I recently updated to the latest iOS version, so I'm thinking it has something to do with this. Will try another download and report back. I'll just eat one TV show in this case. Installing, updating, then re-installing various apps is a pain in the ***! Not worth the $2.99.
outlander_pro May 2, 2013 1:42 PM

I had the same problem as teacher_k reported and I am happy to report that after 2 days of fighting it seems I solved it.
Symptom was: when playing a movie trailer from iTunes on a HDTV or on the computer either nothing happens or a black screen opens and no video or audio is perceived. I have a Win7 laptop.
I am not sure if all of these steps were necessary but at the end it started working:
1. I hope it is obvious that you need a connection to a HDMI TV (at least for some content that is protected) . Ensure that your TV display correctly shows your screen when not playing movies (fixing resolution, refresh rates, etc.)
2. Ensure you have latest rev of QT and that it is the default player for movies (by just launching it and answer yes to that same question if appears)
3. Follow the instructions in Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues as Whatcheck said
4. The last tmagic step hat made it work was based on Patriciafromor: deauthorize/authorize the computer, Just in case I also logged off and back into my AppleID account and restarted iTunes and voilà
sircody01 Jul 7, 2013 7:57 AM
in response to teacher_k
I too had the same problem (no video - all black, no audio, but player would act like it's trying to play something), even on TV shows that used to work. I discovered that since I have TuneUp Companion installed, it must also be running for my purchased TV shows to play properly. I had unchecked the option "Launch TuneUp with your media player" and that's when my shows stopped playing properly (took me a couple of days to realize it). As long as I have TuneUp Companion running my shows play normal once again.
Hope this helps someone else.

Hey All,
I'm actualy really sick of having this issue. I have had all kinds of trouble trying to use iTunes and its features like the Store (Movies)
Previously iTunes had decided that while playing movies, it would be fun to stop frame but allow the movie to continue playing in the background for about 4 seconds every 15 seconds or so regards of restarts, updates and re-installs.
I found that some bezar counter to this issue was disabling my network adaptor (Either rip out the cord, or Control Pannel Disable)
Lately however, it has desided to just show me a black screen (Windowed or Full screen) with no audio either. The ticker at the bottom of the dock suggests the movie is playing, but I am unable to see anything. Agian, restarting, installing and updateing dose nothing.
It's 11:46PM for me now, and all i wanted to do and hour ago is watch a dam movie. I have been trying franticaly to move it to other devices I have such as a Macbook Pro and my iPad 3rd Gen. However, this process could not be made harder. Well rather, I cannot do it at all for my Macbook (Thanks for that Apple), and my iPad needs to complain about everything possible first (Even though it should just be a drag and drop in my Library window).
Apparently it needs to charge before taking on such a hard task, but when it dose do it I Better not think it is going to download it agian from the internet. I'm expecting a copy accross from iTunes local to my network.
I don't think this is worth all the stress there always is.

Thank you whatheck. I can play the video (TV Show, actually) in QuickTime following your instructions, but still not in iTunes. Does this help in directing me what to try next so I can watch in iTunes? The whole "watch in QuickTime" is quite a bother and it is fairly small and tedious to watch without the full screen option.

I noticed the Loosecollector's Rogue didnt seem very popular. but I had an eye-gasm when i saw it. So i imitated it. I used the X-treme x-men Rogue with WWE Mickie James' hair. I molded the bangs, head band, face cheeks, bands around the wrists for gloves, and the belt buckle. the rest of the belt belonged to Maria Hill SHEILD agent. Also, I attempted to shorten her neck because I thought it was too long, but that was a disaster, so I had to remold the neck.
Then the paint application.
I'm not satisfied with her hair, I will likely change it at some point

Tyler, The Creator, Justin Timberlake & Chad Hugo Are On Pharrell's OTHERtone Radio
OVO Radio is a good place to discover new music, but if you're looking for some good old-fashioned knowledge, Pharrell's OTHERtone is the way to go. Today's show focuses on Skateboard P's early work with the Neptunes, bringing in his old creative partner Chad Hugo to talk, as well as Justin Timberlake and Tyler, The Creator.
Justin Timberlake and Pharrell Hit The Studio Last Night
Pharrell Williams was behind a few of Justin Timberlake's best songs, including "Rock Your Body" and "Señorita." So it's pretty exciting to hear word of the two talented musicians working together again.
Universal Is Being Sued Over Justin Timberlake & Jay Z's "Suit & Tie"
Universal Music Group is being sued over a potentially unauthorized sample used in Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie," which featured Jay Z and was produced by Timbaland. The single peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 100 and appeared on Timberlake'd 2013 album The 20/20 Experience.
Justin Timberlake To Executive Produce Music For "Trolls" Film
Although it's about time we receive some new music from Justin Timberlake, we definitely weren't expecting it to come in the form of an animated film, "Trolls." The singer hasn't released an album since the two-part release, The 20/20 Experience, in 2013.
Diddy, Jay Z, & Drake Among Forbes' 2015 Highest-Paid Musicians
In 2015, the big bucks come from touring. Just ask Katy Perry, who grossed over $2 million per show during her Prismatic World Tour. With $135 million earned in 2015, she is the year's highest-paid musician and the highest-paid celebrity of anyone not named Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao.
Justin Timberlake & Timbaland Might Make A Country Album
Justin Timberlake and Timbaland have been working together since the former's debut album Justified, but by the time FutureSex/LoveSounds dropped, it was clear that they were an inseparable creative force. The two reunited after a considerable hiatus for the one-two punch of The 20/20 Experience parts 1 and 2 in 2013, which found them in slightly more comfortable territory, but according to Timbo, their next project could be their boldest move yet.
Outkast Turned Down An Opportunity To Perform At The 2004 Super Bowl
The New England Patriots narrowly defeated the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII, but no one remembers that. All that anyone outside New England remembers from that Super Bowl is when Justin Timberlake accidentally-on-purpose ripped of Janet Jackson's shirt and bared her titty for all of Earth to see. The "wardrobe malfunction" could have been prevented, if Outkast had accepted the NFL's invitation to perform at that year's Super Bowl.
Screen King Immortal: 10 Times 50 Cent Was Name-Dropped In Film & TV
For a while there, in the mid-2000s, 50 Cent was the most visible hip hop star in the country. To this day, he's the only rapper that my 86-year-old grandma can name. Such was his prominence that if you were writing a script for a television show or movie and needed shorthand for "a gangster rapper who everyone knows," odds are you'd pick him. Perfectly fitting the bill for the street-affiliated, unfuckwithable image popularized by '90s legends Tupac and Biggie, Fif also had a dash of showmanship that made him a little less intimidating to the general public.

Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel Have A Baby On The Way
Justin Timberlake had a pretty admirable run as a bachelor, but he decided to settle down with actress Jessica Biel a couple years back, and today, the two announced that they're expecting their first child. As seems to be the standard these days, Timberlake took to Instagram to display his wife's baby bump, leaving the sex of the child up in the air. Today also happened to be the singer's 34th birthday.
Possible New Beyoncé Album On The Way
A tracklist began circulating online earlier today for a possible follow up to Beyoncé's self-titled 2013 LP. Titled Beyoncé Vol. 2, the project appears to be a re-release of the latter, featuring all of the original volume's songs plus an additional eleven tracks. Print at the bottom of the leaked document seems to imply that the new release will be available in a four-disc format, including three DVDs loaded with music videos, live performances, and footage from the "On The Run" tour with Jay-Z.
Justin Timberlake, Eminem Win Billboard Music Awards
Last night the Billboard Music Awards went down, and we saw performances from Iggy Azalea, John Legend, a Michael Jackson hologram and more.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Justin Timberlake Lead Rap And R&B Billboard Music Award Nominations
The nominations for the annual Billboard Music Awards have arrived today. Perhaps unsurprisingly, considering these guys dominated the Billboard 200 over the last year, Justin Timberlake and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are among the top contenders with eleven and ten nominations respectively. However, it's actually Imagine Dragons and Lorde that lead the entire pack, both with twelve nominations a piece.

Hottest R&B Projects Of 2013
R&B is a genre that seems to be in a constant state of flux. It's certainly very different from what it was 20 years ago - these days, many artists tend to cross over into other genres, causing debate as to what truly constitutes R&B music. Nonethless, we've received some dope offerings this year, both from artists making a comeback and those new to the scene. They've provided a varied and credible spread of R&B, flying the genre's flag proudly and continuing to bring us those sensual, smooth and oh-so-essential sounds.

Ethiopia ( /ˌiːθiˈoʊpiə/) (Ge'ez: ኢትዮጵያ ʾĪtyōṗṗyā), officially known as the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, is a landlocked country located in the Horn of Africa. It is the second-most populous nation in Africa, with over 82 million inhabitants, and the tenth largest by area, occupying 1,100,000 km2. Ethiopia is bordered by Eritrea to the north, Djibouti and Somalia to the east, Sudan and South Sudan to the west, and Kenya to the south. With its capital at Addis Ababa, it is also the most populous landlocked nation in the world.
Ethiopia was a monarchy for most of its history, and the Ethiopian dynasty traces its roots to the 2nd century BC. Ethiopia is also one of the oldest sites of human existence known to scientists today, having yielded some of humanity's oldest traces. It may be the region from which Homo sapiens first set out for the Middle East and points beyond. Alongside Rome, Persia, China and India, the Ethiopian Aksum Empire was considered one of the great world powers of the 3rd century. During the Scramble for Africa, Ethiopia was the only African country beside Liberia that retained its sovereignty as a recognized independent country, and was one of only four African members of the League of Nations. After a brief period of Italian occupation, Ethiopia became a charter member of the United Nations. When other African nations received their independence following World War II, many of them adopted the colors of Ethiopia's flag, and Addis Ababa became the location of several international organizations focused on Africa.
Meles Zenawi Asres (Ge'ez: መለስ ዜናዊ አስረስ Mäläs Zenawi Äsräs; born 8 May 1955) has been the Prime Minister of Ethiopia since 1995. He was President of Ethiopia from 1991 to 1995. Since 1985, he has been chairman of the Tigrayan Peoples' Liberation Front (TPLF), and he is head of the ruling Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF).
Meles was born in Adwa, Tigray in Northern Ethiopia, to an Ethiopian father from Adwa, Ethiopia, and a mother from Adi Quala, Eritrea. He graduated from the General Wingate high school in Addis Ababa, then studied medicine at Addis Ababa University (at the time known as Haile Selassie University) for two years before interrupting his studies in 1975 to join the TPLF. While a member of the TPLF, he founded the Marxist-Leninist League of Tigray. His first name at birth was "Legesse" (thus Legesse Zenawi, Ge'ez: ለገሰ ዜናዊ legesse zēnāwī) but he is better known by his nom de guerre Meles. He later changed his first name to "Meles" in honor of a University student and a revolutionary radical who was executed by the previous government in 1975.
