BBC America has announced that cult favorite Orphan Black returns for its fourth season on April 14th at 10.00pm EST.
The sisters have finally settled into some sense of normalcy. Sarah, reunited with her foster mum Mrs S. (Maria Doyle Kennedy), daughter Kira (Skyler Wexler) and the clone original, Kendall Malone (Alison Steadman) at an Icelandic hideout; Alison, enjoying the spoils of the drug trade with husband Donnie (Kristian Bruun) and helping the once rabid Helena settle into domesticity; and Cosima, hard at work on a cure for her illness with lab partner Scott (Josh Vokey). We find Sarah's battle-worn foster brother Felix (Jordan Gavaris) accepting that he's been left behind, and trying to pick up the pieces of his life – post 'clone gate'; and Rachel (Maslany), the clever self-aware clone reunited with her 'mother,' Susan Duncan (Rosemary Dunsmore) and attempting a reconciliation. But peace and calm seldom lasts long with this lot and Sarah's hard won tranquility is disrupted when she receives a call that thrusts her right back in harm's way. A mysterious ally tied to Beth leads Sarah back to where it all started. She'll follow Beth's footsteps into a dangerous relationship with a potent new enemy, heading in a horrifying but familiar direction.
Today, as US political campaigns take on communities of color—whether trying to win or suppress their votes—we might remember a time when Black Lives were not on TV. This changed with the Black Panthers. Indeed, as The Black Panthers: Vanguard of a Revolution observes, the Panthers were a spectacle made for television. They knew it, played to it, and built on it.
When the list of the 58th Annual Grammy nominations was announced two months ago, the biggest surprise was that there were no big surprises. There was some talk about why Adele wasn't among the honorees (because 25 was released after the Academy's 2015 cut-off date) and the entertainment press liked pointing out how Paul McCartney came to be nominated for Best Rap Performance, but industry insiders are rather bored by this year's roster. Still, it's not easy to predict who will win or lose in the major categories, which are the awards most likely to be shown on the big broadcast. Until tonight, let's speculate.
SYNOPSIS: From Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Terence Winter, this new 10-episode drama series is set in 1970s New York. A ride through the sex- and drug-addled music business at the dawn of punk, disco, and hip-hop, the show is seen through the eyes of a record label president, Richie Finestra, played by Bobby Cannavale, who is trying to save his company and his soul without destroying everyone in his path.

Creating back links - this is what you want the site to rank better in search engine and be able to compete in the service to check the position on a search engine as soon as we have conducted on-page optimization of our site.

To create a quality campaign begin with creating a good, unique and rich information content which should be liked by people. If people like the information, they may be more than happy to put a link to their site. But in order to conduct a successful campaign you also need to have an audience that reads your blog, the more people are reading your blog quality, the better chance you have of what your blog will put a link back.
What would be best to do is go there and submit your URL. It can be tricky first on how to do this. Just go looking for and one can find where to publish. Some are in the right corner of the homepage of the website and others are in a special page. To search.

The use of article directories and web directories should be limited and restricted to quality directories and catalogs. Because of the misuse of such lists is high. Another related problem is the search engine spamming , which creates the article directories to drive only the side in the front rank and generate high revenues, but does not contain relevant information for the user. Reached such a link popularity can therefore not imply that the quality of a website. For this reason, many directories are now devalued by search engines, since a large part is created for the sole purpose of backlink generation. In free web directories, such as the Open Directory Project (OPD), web pages are tested and assigned to specific subject areas
Another alternative is to use the press pays portals. Here sometimes you can find topics related press releases and you can generate backlinks from them.

JLR's Jaguar XF cheaper by Rs 6.5 lakh on India assembly
Jan 21 2013 , Pune
"The locally-produced Jaguar XF salon at newly built Chakan facility near Pune has been shipped to the dealerships," Del Sehmar, Jaguar Land Rover India spokesman told Financial Chronicle.
The local assembly has allowed the company to offer the premium saloon at Rs 44.5 lakh at showrooms in Mumbai to take on competition such as BMW 5 series, Audi A6 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The company until now was importing the car from its three manufacturing plants in the UK.
The locally built Jaguar XF 2.2-litre diesel car comes with an array of standard features such as rear view camera, TV tuner, navigation system, front passenger seat away, touchscreen, gear shifting paddles, full size spare wheel, electric sunroof, rear screen electric blind and eight-speed automatic transmission.
"Jaguar is among the newer entrants in the Indian luxury car market and hence there's a bit more exclusivity to their products. However, to become the best luxury brand in India by volume, local assembly and low priced variants of the current stable won't be sufficient. Jaguar needs a smaller sedan that costs roughly half the price of the XF to draw closer to the Germans rivals," Shrawan Raja, auto analyst and managing editor of IndianAutosBlog.com told Financial Chronicle.
Sehmar said at present Jaguar's diesel and petrol XF variants with 3.0 litre and 5.0 litre engines are priced between Rs 51 lakh and over Rs 1 crore at showrooms in Mumbai. He said the Jaguar model in India featuring a 2.2 litre diesel engine for the first time at the entry price of Rs. 44.5 lakh was a better value proposition for the customers in the country.
The Jaguar XF is the second model to be locally assembled in Pune. In May 2011, Jaguar Land Rover started making the Land Rover Freelander 2 from the same assembly plant. The Jaguar product range in India includes the XF, XFR, XKR, XKR-S and XJ. For Land Rover, the product range includes the Freelander 2, Discovery 4, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Sport and a new Range Rover version.
With the sales rising, the company has more than doubled its headcount at the manufacturing plant in Pune. "We have expanded our operation and more than doubled our workforce from the initial 47 to over 120 at present," Sehmar said.
"Our best-selling models in India are the Land Rover Freelander 2 and the Jaguar XF and this has driven the move to build these products locally," Rohit Suri, vice-president at Jaguar Land Rover India said in a statement.
"We are now delighted to offer this car as a locally built product with a new engine for this market, which will enable us to provide our customers with a wider choice of competitively priced models," he added.
Jaguar Land Rover India has reported 32 per cent growth in its sales in 2012 at 2,393 cars compared with 1,813 units in the previous year.

Check out the latest news and insight from the ever-evolving world of institutional investing and hedge funds from around the globe.
Read More Industry News >
Korea Investment Corp. plans to allocate up to $10 billion to alternative assets, which would triple its current investment in the sector.
Bloomberg Businessweek reported that the Korean sovereign wealth fund wants to increase its holdings of private equity, real estate and hedge fund to 20% of its total investment portfolio by 2016. It currently invests about $6.1 of its total portfolio in alternative investments.
The article cited Michael Maduell, president of the Las Vegas-based Sovereign Wealth Institute, who said that investing in alternatives "reduces return volatility."
KIC was founded in 2005 to invest some of the nation's foreign-exchange reserves offshore.

Income investors looking to cash in on rising oil and natural
gas prices may be hard pressed to find traditional companies that
pay a hefty yield.
Exxon (
, for example, yields 2.4% and
Chesapeake Energy (
, the largest producer of natural gas in the United States, yields
That's why I've been researching small-cap energy companies that
pay double-digit yields. One company I found is
Whiting USA Trust I (
. WHX is a royalty trust spun off by
Whiting Petroleum Corp (
to receive royalties on revenue from oil and natural gas producing
properties. The company yields 13.2% and has a market cap of $278
The trust receives 90% of revenue derived from the production and
sale of oil and natural gas from its properties located in Rocky
Mountain, Mid-Continent, Permian Basin and Gulf Coast regions.
Reserves are about 56% oil and 44% natural gas.
The trust passes along these royalties as quarterly distributions
to shareholders. The first distribution of 2010 was $0.66 per
share, paid in February. Distributions for the past four quarters
totaled $2.55 for a stratospheric trailing yield of more than 13%.
While the trust only made three distributions in 2008, as its
shares began trading in April, the average quarterly distribution
in for the year was $1.37 compared to an average distribution of
$0.67 in 2009.
For the full year 2009, revenues fell -38% while income (net of
expenses) declined -34% from 2008. Conveyance of the trust's
royalties didn't start until April of 2008, so the 2008 numbers
only include nine months of sales and production. Revenues and
profits were down for one simple reason: commodity prices.
Oil and gas prices plummeted during the financial crisis from
record levels in 2008. Average oil sales prices were $102.04 per
barrel in 2008 and only $48.29 per barrel in 2009. Natural gas
sales prices averaged $8.94 per Mcf (thousand cubic feet) in 2008
and $4.13 in 2009. The trust does hedge its portfolio, and realized
prices net of hedging were $62.50 per barrel for oil and $5.39 per
Mcf of natural gas in 2009.
But, things have been continually improving since the first half of
2009. The daily average NYMEX price per barrel of oil rose
throughout the year from $43.21 per barrel in the first quarter to
$76.17 in the fourth quarter. Today oil is more than $80 per
barrel. NYMEX natural gas prices averaged $3.99 per Mcf in 2009 and
the price is at about $4.30 per Mcf today.
The prognosis for prices going forward is excellent. As economies
throughout the world continue to recover, the International Energy
Agency (
) expects worldwide oil demand to rise from about 85 million
barrels per day in 2009 to 86.5 million in 2010. Just last month,
Goldman Sachs (
estimated that oil prices will rise to between $85 and $95 per
barrel in 2010, and analysts from both Goldman Sachs and
Morgan Stanley (
estimated that oil will average $100 per barrel in 2011.
The cost of producing oil and natural gas is roughly the same
regardless of prices. Higher prices of oil and gas make higher
profits and distributions and vice versa.
That said, the properties from which the trust earns royalties are
depleting assets. The trust terminates when 9.11 million barrels of
oil equivalent (
) have been produced and sold from the properties. A revised
reserve report estimates (as of December 31st) that the reserve
balance is 6.0 MMBOE, which is expected to be produced through
2017. According to the trust, oil and gas production is estimated
to decline at an average annual rate of -14.6% from 2010 through
But with oil prices on the rise, distributions are likely to
increase. In the near term, the trust is a pure play on rising oil
and gas price in the recovery.

P.S. If you're looking for both high yields and enormous capital
gains potential, then you need to learn more about our "Income
Security of the Month" for April 2010. This booming oil & gas
firm has returned +196% in the past year alone. The company has
already raised its dividend five times since its 2007 inception,
and today it's cashing in on record levels of production and rising
energy prices.
Just weeks ago company management announced the closure of a $130
million acquisition that could translate into tremendous profits
(and dividend hikes) in the months ahead. Details here...

The net effect with a wide aperture image is the sum of many optical properties: sharpness and contrast, bokeh and color bokeh, lens aberrations, field curvature, the haze of spherical aberration.
The bottom line for wide aperture shooting: understand your lens, and realize that it's the overall visual impact that matters, not absolute sharpness. If you're after peak sharpness, shoot at f/8.
Even the very best fast lenses have considerable aberrations wide open, which makes focus somewhat ambiguous, particularly off-center (though spherical aberration affects the entire frame). Therefore, the expectations for crisp and contrasty results must be reduced. This is true even for the US$10,500 Leica Noctilux-M ASPH, which has a truly exotic optical design, with numerous special elements (correcting an f/0.95 lens is far more stringent than for an f/1.4 lens).

I've been kept up all night. I started reading about this man and just couldn't stop. I've poured over hours of reading.
After all due consideration, taking account of all information I've come to the conclusion that it's great injustices such as this, that make me ashamed to call myself an American't. Yes i said can't! As in can't get right.
If 28 years in solitary isn't enough suffering for the death of one prison guard, and a self defense manslaughter, i really don't wanna know what is. This man has payed his debt.
It has been said that you can gauge a society by the way in which their prisoners are treated. What does it say about ours?
It says that we as a society have had all the luxuries money can buy and still we can't get right! I fear that we may never.

Remember JUSTIN GUARINI . . . the guy who lost to KELLY CLARKSON on the first season of "American Idol"? Well, he's married with kids now . . . but he's claiming he was quite the playboy back in his "Idol" days.
At a recent performance of his one-man stage show, "Lovesick", Justin told the crowd that he and Kelly started hooking up while they were filming their HORRIBLE post-"Idol" movie, "From Justin to Kelly".
He didn't say how long they were together . . . but it was short-lived. He basically said he was left behind when Kelly's career started taking off, and his didn't.
But Kelly wasn't Justin's only conquest. Supposedly, he also had a "fling" with TAMYRA GRAY, who came in fourth that season.
Kelly hasn't responded . . . so it's unclear if she remembers who Justin is.

YUI Test case subclass useful for functional testing
Y.Test.Case subclass useful for functional tests, typically with
Functional tests require a lot of waiting around in multiple steps of a single scenario. This can quickly get cumbersome
when using
yuitest because of all the nested
wait and
resume calls riddled with custom timeouts that do not scale
from a maintenance viewpoint.
Also, functional tests require some semblance of sanity with respect to how input events are simulated. This module aims to address this issue as well with a set of functions that can help with consistent simulation of inputs and a cleaner abstract API for this.
Think of every functional test as an asynchronous, callback-driven test that has exactly one
wait and
resume. The meat of the test case executes a series of asynchronous functions chained together with callbacks
in the manner of
async.series. The timeout for the test case is automatically calculated as the sum
of the worst-case timeouts for every individual step.
/*globals YUI */YUIadd"my-functional-test-module" YTestRunneraddFunctionalTestCase // assuming we are running on the page that is loaded // run a bunch of stuff in order and perform some assertions at the end thisbatch // write to console log debug'Starting test' // wait for an element to show up and be visible in the DOM, and click it waitAndClick'#start-button' // now wait for a secondary element to show up waitForElement"#overlay" // fill in some fields setValue"#overlay-title" "Foo bar" setValue"#overlay-description" "My giant foobar" // submit the data click"#overlay-save" // wait for form to be posted for a fixed amount of time wait2000 // now assert the state of the page using an arbitrary function // note that this synchronous function with arity 0 is // automatically turned into an async function add YAssertareEqual"Foo bar" Yone"ul.list li .name"get"innerHTML"; YAssertareEqual"My giant foobar" Yone"ul.list li.desc"get"innerHTML"; run; // note that there should be no code beyond this point since the above is executed // asynchronously and code here will immediately execute before the prior steps // are complete ; "0.1" requires: "functional-test-case" ;
Every sugar function found under
this.batch() is a generator that returns a function accepting a single callback. The
returned function also has a
timeout attribute that represents the worst-case timeout of the step. The
run method
accumulates these timeouts and uses the final value as the timeout for the single
test.wait call. The
test.resume call
simply asserts that no errors were returned by the last step executed.
Since thrown exceptions are turned into callback errors, all exceptions including assertions will be returned to the
resume function for friendly error reporting.
returns a
TestBatch object that has a chainable API to add multiple steps, each being a function to be executed.
defaults is an optional object with the following supported properties:
timeout: the default timeout in milliseconds for steps that wait, when an explicit timeout has not been specified (global default is 10 seconds)
shortWait: the default amount of time in milliseconds for waiting after mouse clicks etc. (global default is 100ms)
poll: the default polling interval in milliseconds for steps that poll, when an explicit interval has not been specified (global default is 200ms)
adds an execution step. The first argument may be a function or another
Batch to be run.
The optional
millis parameter specifies the expected worst-case runtime of the function in milliseconds. This is
only honored when you pass a function as the first argument. When ths first argument is a
Batch, it already has an
expected worst-case runtime associated with it based on the functions that it calls.
creates a secondary batch with potentially different default configuration to which steps may be added.
Note that this secondary batch is not automatically added as a step for this one. You need to
add it explicitly.
runs all the functions added to the batch in series, asynchronously under the
wait and
resume methods
of the test associated with this batch.
Subsequent method descriptions should be read as adds an asynchronous function that ...
waits for
timeout milliseconds or for a default interval (typically 10 seconds).
waits up to a maximum of
timeout milliseconds, polling every
pollInterval milliseconds running the
each time. Returns when the the test function returns true or errors when the timeout is exhausted.
waits for the DOM node represented by the selector to be present and visible in the DOM tree and errors when the timeout is exhausted.
generates a
click event on the selector and waits for a small amount of time before returning. Errors when no
node matching the selector is found.
This uses the
node-event-simulate YUI module to generate a series of events including
mouseup etc.
to trigger event handlers that may be listening on these events.
value as value of the node represented by
selector and waits for a small amount of time before returning.
Errors when no node matching the selector is found.
This uses the
node-event-simulate YUI module to generate a series of events including

to trigger event handlers that may be listening on these events.
Currently only text input elements are supported by this method.
combination of
waitForElement and
click executed in series.
Custom sugar functions may be created using the
extend method exposed as a class method of the
Batch class
available as
/*globals YUI */YUIadd'test-helpers' var Batch = YTestFunctionalTestCaseBatch; Batchextend'waitForSuccessfulExecution' // return an inner batch in which you can do complex stuff // `this` refers to the current Batch instance that is calling this method // the example below waits for a success overlay to popup and then // dismisses it return thiscreateBatch waitForElement'#popup' waitForElement'#popup .close' wait100 click'#popup .close'; ; "0.1" requires: 'functional-test-case' ;
Now a test method can use this sugar method in its chain as in:
thisbatch waitAndClick'#some-button' waitForElement'#overlay' setValue'#overlay-field' '1000' waitAndClick'#overlay-submit' waitForSuccessfulExecution run;

The Kickapoo River in southwest Wisconsin overran its banks Aug. 20 of last year, damaging more than 75 homes. The town of 625 residents was hit again by floods in June, displacing dozens of people. So residents plan to turn out Sunday to "Flood Daze" for food, games and music. Rev. Pam Lojewski is the pastor of the local Luther Memorial Church. She says the last year was hard on the town, and many have been living with relatives or in apartments while their homes are repaired. She says Gays Mills has become a depressing place to live, and she hopes Sunday's event will lift people's spirits.

Microsoft continues to push back against a controversial search warrant procedure that the U.S. government, as part of an ongoing narcotics investigation, is using to demand emails stored in Ireland.
On Friday, Microsoft responded to a new court order by repeating its position that it would not comply with the data request, and insisting that the case go before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
While the details of the dispute are largely procedural, the case is significant because it comes at a time of heightened European sensitivity over how U.S. companies treat data stored on servers located in the European Union. As a result, Microsoft and others are anxious to signal to Europe that they will resist certain data demands from the U.S. government.
Dropbox Pro users gain access to a raft of new features including automatically expiring shared links, password-protected sharing, and adjustable permissions. In recent times, Dropbox has moved away from being just a simple cloud storage platform into a cloud-based collaboration tool. Password-protected files sharing is the first line of security that's now available, but it has been bolstered by the ability to have the share automatically stop after a set period. This is something that is particularly useful for sensitive data, and is a helpful addition to the manual disabling of a shared link -- a set-it-and-forget-it option.
Catching up with other file collaborative tools, Dropbox Pro now also takes into account the fact that you might want to share files with others without giving them the option to edit those files. The new ability to add view-only permissions to files and folders has this covered so it is possible to share sensitive files without worrying about them being changed. For anyone using Dropbox on mobile devices, there is always the fear of losing a handset; a new remote wipe feature takes care of this.
Rounding off the news for Dropbox Pro users is a change to the pricing of storage options. Packages have been streamlined so there is now just a single option -- a 1TB tariff for $9.99 per month. This is a huge increase in storage, or a massive price drop depending on how you look at it. Until recently, $9.99 would have gotten you 100GB of storage, while $19.99 per month bagged users 200GB, and $49.99 was the monthly cost of 500GB of storage. The new pricing structure means that twice as much storage is now available for a fifth of the price, making Dropbox Pro and increasingly competitive option.

For a while now, verified users and advertisers have been able to check statistics about their Twitter account so they can see how many times individual tweets have been viewed, check what types of tweet encourage the most engagement, and so on. Now Twitter Analytics is available to everyone -- free of charge.
It doesn't matter if you have a blue verified tick next to your name or not, now you can use the analytics dashboard to check the performance of tweets. While this is a useful tool for businesses, for the average Twitter user it is a tool that will satisfy an idle curiosity and provide a way to while away the time obsessing over what key phrases yield the greatest return.
For those with a fascination for figures, the ability to see how many people view individual tweets is a dream come true. It might not be quite as in-depth as you might expect, or hope, but it strikes a good balance between providing useful information and remaining easy to use. Of course, additional data would be great, but it would end up complicating things. There's an eye-pleasing graph that shows at a glance how many hits your tweets have earned you.
The point of any chat system is to make it easier to communicate with others. This is something that Google Hangouts has singularly failed at, for one reason. Rather than making it obvious which of your contacts are online, it has -- up until now -- displayed a chronological list of the conversations you have held with people. This is about to change. Rolling out over the next few days, is an update which will see your online contact move to the top of your chat buddy list.
This might seem like a small change, but it's one that has been requested for some time now. Google seemingly thought that the tried and true way of ordering contacts was due for a shakeup -- now we know that the experiment didn't really pay off. There's another new feature to play with as well. Just as Chrome -- and other browsers -- make it possible to pin frequently used tabs so they are always available, now Hangouts users will be given the opportunity to pin contacts to the top of their buddy list.
Announced late yesterday, the update has already caused quite some excitement, with the Google+ post (but of course!) used to publicize the feature already receiving hundreds of thumbs ups. If you've yet to enable Hangouts in your Gmail account, just select "Try the new Hangouts" under chat settings to get started. If you decide you don't like it, you can use the "Revert to old chat" link to go back to your preferred style.

You all know the drill. You buy a phone from AT&T or other wireless provider and the phone is tied down to their specific. For those looking to take their smartphone elsewhere, 1998′s Digital Millennium Copyright Act actually made it illegal for anyone to unlock their own cellphone. It wasn't until 2006 that the Library of Congress provided an exemption that allowed consumers to unlock their phones for the sole purpose of changing providers. Only problem is that exemption expired in 2013 (late 2012).
If you thought consumers were just going to be SOL from here on out, Senate has passed a new bill that will once again makes cellphone unlocking legal. Announced in a press release by Senator Patrick Leahy, The Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act allows consumers to unlock their cellphone — either "professionally" or by themselves — for use on different networks once their current contract is up.
So the war of words over interconnection has continued. Last week, we wrote about the back and forth between Verizon and Level 3 on their corporate blogs concerning who was really to blame for congestion slowing down your Netflix video watching. As we noted, Level 3 used Verizon's own information to show that Verizon was, in fact, the problem. Basically, in spite of it being easy and cheap, Verizon was refusing to do a trivial operation of connecting up a few more ports, which Level3 had been asking them to do so for a long time. In other words, Verizon was refusing to do some very, very basic maintenance to deliver to its users exactly what Verizon had sold them.
Earlier this week, Verizon went back to its blog with another blog post from David Young, this one even snarkier than the last. Snark can be fun, but if the underlying message is completely bogus, you're going to run into trouble. In fact, Young's underlying message is so weak, that he more or less admits to absolutely everything that Level 3 was claiming in its post -- while pretending it's Level 3 that actually admitted fault!
Ever since our start, Lunarsoft has taken great strides in avoiding having any advertisements on our website. Thanks to this, people do not have to worry about their privacy when browsing any part of Lunarsoft. This also means you don't need to worry about canvas fingerprinting.
Canvas fingerprinting is a new "unstoppable" method to track users online for advertising purposes. The data gathered includes graphic drivers, browser version, operating system and possibly some settings like ClearType. While some reports are claiming that it's impossible by bypass, the Adblock Plus team has found ways and methods to stop canvas fingerprinting.
Though Adblock Plus cannot stop a browser from receiving images used for canvas fignerprinting they are able to stop your computer from transmitting the "fingerprint". This stops the tracking that canvas fingerprinting uses in it's tracks.
The AdBlock Plus team has even stated that,
When you add the EasyPrivacy filter list in Adblock Plus this won't make Adblock Plus block tracking cookies directly. Instead, Adblock Plus will block the script that would try to set these cookies. And guess what: blocking that script doesn't just prevent cookie-based tracking, it also lets you deal with canvas fingerprinting or evercookie or any other tracking approach. In particular, the rules to prevent AddThis tracking were added to EasyPrivacy almost five years ago.
AdBlock Plus is available for Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and Android. Be sure to use EasyList and EasyPrivacy when you install AdBlock Plus. You can also check out our wiki page about Blocking Malware and Advertisements Safely along with our PC Security wiki page.
Reed Hastings recently stood before new employees packed into the company's campus movie theater, pulled a gray hair from his head and held it up for all to see. A single fiber optic strand, as thin as that hair, could carry massive amounts of data — the equivalent of all of Netflix's global video traffic at any given time, he marveled.
The co-founder of Netflix has been thinking much more about broadband providers these days, with his company spearheading a lobbying effort to get federal regulators to monitor how Internet service providers charge Web firms like his to move data around the Internet.
It's a risky effort. Netflix, which gobbles up one-third of bandwidth during peak hours, doesn't think companies like theirs should pay extra to place its servers closer to the networks of Comcast and Verizon.
The issue reveals Netflix at an important turning point. It won kudos with television critics, nominated for 31 Emmys on Thursday. But it's making enemies out of the companies it relies on most — the cable and telecom firms providing all those lightning-fast Internet connections as thin as his hair.
The following is an edited transcript of a recent interview in the "Hawaii Five-O" conference room at the company's headquarters. Hastings had just returned from watching the U.S. play against Germany in an early World Cup 2014 match.

|Political correctness: the new censorship
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 10 December 2015 00:00
By Pat Holder
I was watching television the other night when I saw an ad for a big corporation saying they were giving back something to us, and there was some connection to Christmas. Then they had a youth choir singing the old song, "Let There Be Peace on Earth." When they got to the part of the song that goes "...with God as our Father," they changed it to some generic, politically correct lyric that left out the word "God." They finally broke into a chorus that got back to the original song. I guessed whoever designed this advertisement decided mentioning God in the song would be offensive to some people, so that part got left out.
I just don't get it. So now we can't even mention God? Whatever happened to freedom of speech? It seems like that was one of the five freedoms along with freedom of religion, freedom of the press, right to assemble and right to petition. But now, the idea of being sensitive to others has taken a swing way to the other extreme that has the mainstream walking on eggshells, afraid to say something that might be offensive, so much so that we aren't allowed to say "God" anymore? Give me a break.
The use of the word "God" and the "bible" in our public schools, while not legally prohibited, have become trigger words.
When I taught writing classes, I always used quotes from the bible as examples of good writing. I used the sentence, "Jesus wept" as an example of a wonderful short sentence that would have been made less powerful with the addition of even one word, like "bitterly," which would have limited its meaning. I also used the 23rd Psalm as a perfect example of writing that went from the general to the specific. Thankfully, nobody ever called me out for such practices. I wonder if anyone would complain if I used these examples in classes nowadays?
I find this oversensitive attitude just as offensive as the racist and sexist remarks that we were trying to avoid in the first place. This political correctness causes us to censor what we say. When we censor what we say, we censor what we think. I remember censorship as a main theme in George Orwell's "1984." Orwell suggested if we control the language, we control thoughts and if we control thoughts, we control people. The weird part is this political correctness censorship isn't an edict imposed by the government. It is a societal rule.
For us, as a nation, to be so oversensitive as to bristle at the mention of the concept of a creator is just plain ridiculous. Perhaps if political correctness becomes equated with censorship, which it undoubtedly is, it will go out of style and we can get back to freedom of expression. Until that time, I will stand on my right as a citizen of the United States to exercise the five freedoms including freedom of speech, may God help me.

Nylons Porn
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
I always tend to be on the fence whenever it comes to Nylons Porn. On the one hand, the action is always incredibly hot. On the other, it has been my experience that websites focusing exclusively on this niche tend to be less than stellar in their designs and quality. This site is no exception.
NylonsPorn offers you material that stars babes in either nylons or stockings (and in the case of threesomes, sometimes both). The action's a mix of hardcore blowjobs and sex, lesbian pairings, softcore stripping, posing and masturbation. In the case of the softcore content, most situations have a model on her own wearing nylons or stockings.
Navigation is clear enough, with the left-hand side of the page providing a list of the sections. Click on the photo one and you will see that it is further broken down into five categories, including both softcore and hardcore sections for nylon-only and stockings-only material. The fifth section is "other" and I have no idea why its few galleries aren't found among the other four sections.
Both the video and photo sections have free-floating thumbnails dumped on an all-black background and the only real design work is found in the table of sections I mentioned earlier. On top of this, the videos use a variety of random sizes for their screenshots, making it even less appealing than it sounds on account of all the inconsistency.
Altogether, you get 28 movies and 173 picture sets. It's completely random as to what size each gallery's photos will be, but even the biggest images are low-res and you don't have the option to save them in Zip folders. As for the movies, they offer below average quality. They come in a series of clips, but not all of them are uploaded at the same time and it's only once they're all up that you can opt for a full-length version.
New clips are added every other day, but as none of the content is dated, I have no idea how long it takes to get a full scene. Some research showed that there has been no overall change in the total amount in several years, so either it takes a ridiculously long time or new content replaces old content (I'm betting on the latter).
Your membership also gets you access to the entire Overall Pass network, which means you get a variety of themed porn sites, like Got Fucked, The Golden Rain and Vaginal Sucker, among others, getting you a total of 32 bonus sites. Other extras are erotic stories and live cam shows.
Given the fact that they charge an above-average price in exchange for below-average content, I can't recommend joining Nylons Porn. The action is really hot, but the quality is too low to make it enjoyable.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

The night could not have been more perfect. Temps were pleasant. Skies were clear. Fireworks were … well… just wonderful!
In this photo you can actually see the barge located offshore between Havre de Grace and Perry Point. It was a beautiful evening and well worth the wait for these amazing fireworks.
The reschedule was a rarity in the many years of the Independence Celebration Committee's annual July 4 festivities. And although many were disappointed, safety is always the first priority. But the wait for the rescheduled fireworks was worth it for those able to get to the shore on either side of the river! OUTSTANDING!!!
We again thank each and every sponsor, every donation – large and small, each and every volunteer, and all the folks who enjoyed the show! A special thank you to Vulcan Materials for the barge, and the City of Havre de Grace. We appreciate being able to coordinate the fireworks to give a great finale to the opening night of the Havre de Grace Art Show.
Again, thank you EVERYONE! We hope you enjoyed the show!

LO is off purees.Ā He is pretty much eating what we eat in small pieces.Ā I started the baby-led weaning approach at around 8.5 months starting with banana.Ā Well, he's just taken off with it...he eats a TON:Ā veggies, fruit, cheese, yogurt, rice, barley, bread, cheerios, crackers,Āchicken, turkey...the list goes on and on.
My question is two-fold:
1. Can babies overfeed themselves?Ā LO is breastfed and is still feeding as much as he ever has AND he seems to be eating and eating and eatingĀtable food like it's going out of style.Ā I've read that they won't overfeed themselves, so I have just been letting him eat until he's not interested anymore.
2. Can offering too much table food affect their willingness to nurse?Ā I haven't noticed a change, but I don't want him eating table food to compromise our nursing relationship.

Town to sell vacant house for $1August 20,2013
Town selling
vacant home for $1
ST. JOHNSBURY A Vermont town is planning to sell a dilapidated vacant house for $1 so it can be demolished and a new house built on the site.
The town of St. Johnsbury acquired the St. Mary Street property after it failed to sell at a tax sale.
The Burlington-based Vermont Housing Finance Agency offered to buy the property, demolish the house, build an affordable single family house, and sell it.
The Caledonian-Record reported that the selectmen unanimously supported the proposal with the stipulation the agency must construct the new home within three years.
Select Board Chairman Kevin Oddy said the program is a viable way for the community to add to its tax roll and erase an eyesore.MORE IN This Just InWATERBURY CENTER The Harwood golf team closed out the regular season Wednesday on its home...

Kendrick Lamar is keeping quiet for nowClick to Edit
I'm really putting my vulnerability out there, and putting my mistakes out there. When the cameras are on me, I'm still going to show you because I know you can relate to it, at the end of the day. That is one of my favorite lines in there, in that record, because it shows the emotion of the line but at the same time is showing that I'm not scared. I'm putting my mistakes out there for people to actually latch onto and know that they can make a difference within themselves at the same time, too.

This is the exact moment of time where i can finally say that I've found an actual teacher that schools me on how i can benefit myself through every experience as a teenager. Kendrick Lamar, you're the King.
leksym99 u just a hater! I hate fake ass niggers like you, made in china is probably written all over your skinny white ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I been listening to Kendrick for a few years now and I remember telling people in school that he was gonna be making a big sound in hip hop. I been at all his concerts in mass and I will see every one that he comes for its awesome to see a legend in my own time and being able to say that I saw it be for it happened. im not gonna argue with people with what im about to say but, he is the tupac of our time.
since day 1 you been my favorite rapper
GoD BleSS GooD KiD M.a.a.D CiTy
#Kendrick lamar for real
Keep the good music coming Kendrick! Best Rapper today
Hey Kendrick, I live in South Africa, I can't wait for your Cape Town show, definitley gonna be there, you make the best music in the game right now, and it's fair to say you are by far already one of the greatest, up there with Eminem, you might be the next Pac….. Just keep up the good work and don't conform to money n hoes like all these other dumb @SS rappers like lil' Wayne, all he makes is good beats, which I'm sure he doesn't even make, you're the truth from compton… much respect
mah nigga for life
i swear i follow kendrick on everything this guy is real.he is for real and it would be aswome to meet him
kendrick aint the king of rap, he aint the god of rap, he is rap itself born as a human being raised as a human being grew up to be the legend. if rap was religious, i would call u saint duckworth.
i love oh.. kendrick
my favorite artist right there.
-Clears Throat-

You got dat swagg
Kendrick is setting the bar so highgh
Another mistake living deep in my heart Kendrick Lamar – Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe
I think it probably relates more to the music, to me having a situation where I am following a trend and my music wasn't getting out there. And then me learning from that, a bunch of battle scars, and trying to be successful in general. It can take that side or it can take side of the streets, kind of like a double entendre, that type of thing. For the most part, I am really reflecting on the music and me getting to where I wanted to go in life.

I love this song and I love you n your music is good :)
kendrick i love your emotion in your songs and you don't need nobody to be great. You a true rapper
Bitch don't kill my vibe and poetic justice was the two songs on the album that weren't really part of the good kid maad city story, excellent tracks they were but still not fitting to the story, bitch don't kill my vibe was more of how do hip hop heads call it braggadocio, which I like because Kendrick is the best current rapper.
so nice
kendrick you rock ma nigga!come in Tanzania to make your fans rock 2.and also you teach us more than what we r being taught in class!
kendrick you rock ma nigga!come in Tanzania to make your fans rock 2.and also you teach us more than what we r being taught in class!
Kendrick, keep on hustling and making those fine beats.
I always knew life can be dangerous Kendrick Lamar – Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe
Yeah, we talk about a group of people and it is really focusing on people that want to hold you back and not see you better yourself and want to see you in this predicament where you are going to be just another statistic. I can feel the changes, I can feel a new life – They don't really understand the drive and the ambition behind it, they just see it for the life. I see it a whole other way. I see it because of my family history. I see it because of what people feel I should be in life, just another statistic, like I said. And much more, just challenging myself. I see it as a challenge rather than just seeing it on TV and wondering why this dude has got girls and cars and all that, it is more of a mental thing for me.

No Doubt about it, Kendrick Lamar is the best MC in the game. Keep doing your thing homie! Much Love, Much respect

Reeking the scent of a reaper, ensuring that my allegiance
With the other side may come soon, Kendrick Lamar – Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst
Reeking the scent – yeah, reeking the scent. Basically coming to grips with reality, saying I'm a teenager, I am out here, and there is possibly a chance that I won't see tomorrow, so looking in the mirror and really understanding that was a tough point to deal with, a tough time to deal with. I could walk out there – there was one particular summer that was so hot you couldn't even walk to the corner because the neighborhoods was feuding that crazy. If you walked to the corner for sure you were going to run into some action because somebody is on the other end of the corner, waiting for you to walk on that corner. That is how crazy Compton is, you know. You are waiting on that corner, you pull up, they hop out, shoot at you down the block so that you could run the opposite way, and have another car waiting on you as soon as you get to the corner, and that's it for you. You ain't got nowhere to go, you feel me? And you come to grips with that. You look in the mirror and say damn, this might be my last day walking out here as a teenager, you feel me? That is what that particular line, and that whole verse, is about really – grasping the idea of death, for a kid.
This video is processing – it'll appear automatically when it's done.
He wrote some raps to make sure that after he dies his life line, his life's legacy, reeks the scent of a reaper, the taker of life. That the life style and his allegiance with evil that he must have to be able to be alert and prepared may end up being discovered as little more than that alone. Something that he must do to survive but his raps show that the life he lived was evil and it had a terrible but necessary odder to match the evils of life.
My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats Kendrick Lamar – Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst
The curiosity is still there because, like I said, I am a dreamer. And one thing about a dreamer is it is not always a good thing, you feel what I'm saying? Your mind can take off and wander to negative things as well. It is not always, 'I could be the greatest basketball player one day.' It is the idea that I can actually walk outside and get hit by a train in the middle of the street, you know what I'm saying? So I know what it is but it is always going to be a constant thing playing in the back of my head.

It is just basically talking about just the vibe and the atmosphere, more the party vibe. When I say 'parade' I am talking about the actual party and everybody having a good time, and making this feel like we have grown. We are feeling like we are adults, but really we don't know shit. We are just faking it and living carefree.

Your eyes never lie, even if they fell
Out the sky and your optics turn stale
Where they mold that's green, Kendrick Lamar (Ft. Anna Wise) – Real
It is basically saying I know who you are, I am looking at the same person that I was, so I can relate to each and every thing you are doing. The person that is listening, the homeboy that is in the streets, we have similar eyes but it is just the fact that I am a little bit more wise now, and I can actually reflect on where I was at.

Cause plan A never relay a guarantee
And plan C never could say just what it was Kendrick Lamar (Ft. Anna Wise) – Real
Plan B or C? No, I didn't for a long time. I thought that was what I was going to be until I found music. People always ask me what I would be doing if I wasn't doing music and I can never give them a straight answer. Like, man, I don't know. So I guess I just had a Plan A once it hit. This was a God's gift. If I throw this gift away, that is just like any other sin. If you kill somebody that is a sin and if you throw away God's gift that is a sin, too. So what I did was I just worked at what I felt like was something I had the gift in doing. I don't know what I would be doing if I wasn't. Not to sound cliché, but that's for real. I do not know at all.

Thank God you found music and worked on this gift He gave you. We are very thankful for it

Update on JuliánJulian's a very hardworking person. He used to work selling charcoal and also worked in a metal shop. Today, thanks to his effort, he was able to stop working in that metal shop and become independent. He's working in his own metal shop now and he thinks it has a good future.
He wants to continue working and growing and this is why he exerts such an effort. On this occasion he's asking for the loan to buy solder for his metal shop. Once again, he's grateful for his previous loan which was of great use to him.
El quiere seguir trabajando y creciendo, es por eso que se esfuerza mucho. Esta vez solicita del crédito para poder invertirlo en un soldador para su herrería, una vez mas agradece por el crédito anterior, ya que le fue de mucha ayuda.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Hair trends to try now
Sure, we can look through fashion magazines to get a glimpse of the latest beauty trends, but why not go directly to the source? Having worked backstage at New York Fashion Week for years creating the hairstyles that inspire trends on main street America months later, Jen Hughes, master stylist at Juut Salon Spa in downtown Minneapolis, is a pro at making cool hair look easy. Always 10 steps ahead of what's next, Hughes gave us the inside scoop on styles to try today that will stay fresh well into spring 2011--when the rest of America catches up.
In general Hughes says that "layers are getting longer, perimeters (the ends of hair) are getting more solid and less shaggy, and there is much more strength to the shape of cuts."
As for color, "piano key highlights are gone for good. Trends are leaning toward blended, monochromic color with subtle dimension or the grown-out, boliaged (painted on) color that Drew Barrymore and Rachel Bilson have been sporting lately," a.k.a The Ombre.
But enough about generalizations, let's get to Hughes' top trends of the season:
1. Tailored Pixie
Sorry guys, short, cropped hair is back. Emma Watson and Carey Mulligan are great examples of this new 'do. If you can't muscle up the courage to go that short, try a longer version like Michelle Williams' grown-out pixie.
2. The Classic Bob
Like many of us, the bob is something you probably left behind in third grade and never looked back. This season, the cut has grown up. "Bobs are more solid and blocky today," says Hughes. Whether just below the ears or grazing your shoulders blunt bobs, as seen recently on Kiera Knightly, will add a youthful look and works with most face shapes.
3. The New Bob
If you're too edgy for a classic style, Hughes recommends going with her favorite look of the season, a "preppy meets 1970's rocker" cut. It basically has the same frame-work of the classic bob except with heavy fringe on the interior and around the face to add movement. Adding heavy bangs just below the eyebrow with a tousled wave, like Alexa Chung, completes the shape.
4. Sex Kitten Volume
There once was a time when stick-straight, flat hair was all the rage. Today, modern bouffant hair is taking over the runways. To get the look, Hughes recommends using a fine-tooth comb to tease hair at the roots and then smooth out the top layer with a soft-bristle brush. Dirty hair holds this style best so use a dry shampoo or baby powder to hide shine and add texture.

Why did you not simply say something to this effect: he is the sort of man who forgets to eat when he engages himself in vigorous pursuit of learning, who is so full of...The hermit-scholar Liu Yin (1249–93), on the other hand, allegedly refused Kublai Khan's summons in order to maintain the dignity of the Confucian Way. To him education was for self-realization. Loyal to the Jin culture in which he was reared and faithful to the Confucian Way that he had learned from the Song masters, Liu Yin rigorously applied philological methods to classical studies...
Maslow's theoryAmerican psychologist and philosopher best known for his self-actualization theory of psychology, which argued that the primary goal of psychotherapy should be the integration of the self.Cognitive motivational approaches have also explored the idea that human motivation is heavily influenced by a need for competence or control. Although there are several varieties of these theories, most have in common the idea that human behaviour is at least partially motivated by a need to become as much as one can possibly become. One example of this approach is the self-actualization...
