Where can I find a scenic outlook en route to Durango?
Help from Colorado Mefites! I'm driving right now from Silverthorne, CO to Durango, CO and want to find a nice scenic backdrop of the Rockies for some photos. Between not knowing the area very well and finding out about closed roads, I'm having a hard time figuring out where to go. Ideally, it would be a place we can take pictures of our car with nearly nothing in the background but beautiful mountains. Ideas? Thank you in advance!

Help Me be a Charming & Effective Portrait Photographer
Any tips for photographer patter while taking slightly candid portraits? For marketing/social media purposes, I'll be taking individual candid portraits of a large number of people at my company. I've already taken a good handful, and although I have a good eye for angles and setting up the shot, I have a difficult time directing the subjects and am hoping to learn some new phrases and strategies.

Spiral staircase in Chicago?
I would like to take some photographs of spiral staircases. I'm looking to capture the basic construction of the object from its components, rather than any particular aesthetic beauty. Simpler would be better, and emphasizing the engineering over the architecture. If possible, I would prefer to take my photographs at a quiet time in a public building walkable from the loop in Chicago. Do you have any suggestions?
How best to capture childhood
Singlefatherfilter: I am soon to be a divorced father to a 3 year old son and a 5 year old daughter. After the initial shock of separation a routine is thankfully starting to be enacted. As you can imagine the time I spend with them is incredibly precious to me and I would appreciate some ideas on how I can record this best. I enjoy photography but there are two issues i) My daughter specifically is at that age where she knows when a photo is been taken and will pull a face, of course her brother follows suit. ii) Whilst I can take photos of them, it is nigh on impossible to take one of all of us together. As I get older rather than rely on my memory I would love to have some beautiful shots detailing this all too short period of childhood. I have had an idea about asking a photographer to take some photos but I do not want a set of posed photos. I cannot imagine I am the first to find themselves in this situation but I would appreciate any hive-mind suggestions.

A grad program that deals with creative writing AND photography?
I'm heading for a career change, and want to get better at my two passions: creative writing (creative non-fiction) and photography. I'm looking for a grad program that helps me integrate both so I can tell both my own stories and other people's (NGOs, Foundations, etc) more persuasively. [more inside]
Where can I get a high-res file of this public domain image?
This photo is in the public domain, as it was taken in 1914 by Eugene de Salignac (an American, so no chance of restoration). But the only places I can find it want to charge over $100 (or a thousand!) for a relatively small print. Where I can obtain a high-res version of it for free or for a small fee?
How to submit an original document from 5,000+ miles away
I'm a photographer, and next Thursday I'm planning to shoot a fashion editorial in San Francisco. Being a smart cookie, I want to get a permit to shoot so that I don't get stopped, or arrested or, well, anything else nasty. But apparently I must submit the documents in person. What, if anything, can I do? [more inside]

Vendors using product shots of articles for sale
I have a friend to runs a pizza place and I am helping him with his menu. We had a question about the legality (in terms of copyright or whatever) when using trademarked items on his menu that he also sells. [more inside]
Payment for photo reference?
I've been contacted on Flickr by someone who wants to use a photo of mine for an illustration reference. They ask what the charge would be and offer to send me a print. I'm inclined to agree just for the print - I'd love to see it - but I don't know if photographers usually charge for this kind of thing and don't want to undervalue my work. All my photos are "all rights reserved", if that matters.

I need a lot of royalty-free pictures of California. Options?
So basically I need to swap out all the art on several websites with photos of California that we have the rights to use in perpetuity (as well as for print). I realize there's the "buy one at a time from Getty" avenue but I have neither the time or resources for that. What I need is a boatload of pics that I can use for commercial use that are all OF California (as well as some general use pics, graphics and art). A very big collection that I can hand to an intern so they can get swapping. I think in the old days you used to just be able to buy a CD-rom of images. Can you still do that? Are there full collections with hundreds of pics? Or are there any free collections that anyone knows about that are just public use for this purpose? My budget for this is not high (no more than a couple hundred bucks) so I'm open to any options possible.
What Should I Do For a Fun/ Sexy/ Aesthetically Interesting Centerfold?
Hey guys, I agreed a long time ago to do pose for a Centerfold with two of my best girlfriends in the school's 'alternative newspaper'. It's done as a foldout section in the middle pages of the paper, and we pretty much have full artistic control over it. I wanted to do something dynamic and avant garde because in the past, nobody has really taken advantage of the opportunity, and it's just been a lot of posing with dumb inanimate objects held over the crotch, or in the library, or standing around outside. I want to revitalize the genre. And I need your help! [more inside]

Oh, you like that IKEA print? Its mine.
I was wondering how photographers have their work featured by companies that mass produce them for sale and which companies would be best to approach? I do a minimalist/modern style of nature photography that I haven't yet seen replicated. Pros often approach me and tell me my work is great so how would I go about having it sold in places that do the selling for you? (I don't even know the term for this!)
Asking for a project filter, Spirit Child Edition
Do spirit photographs of ogbanje children or malevolent spirit children exist? I'm thinking of the plethora of spirit photographs from the turn of the 20th century that depicted deceased persons (from the spiritualist movement) -- do similar types of photos of ogbanje or spirit children in African culture exist? If so, where?

Best NYC street shopping for cheap import photography stuff
I'm going to be in NYC soon. I buy a lot of import (read: straight from Shenzen) photography junk (stands, lens hoods, macro rails, Benro tripods/heads, LED lights, etc). All cheap and low-ish quality. I buy this stuff on eBay and it is almost always coming from Shenzen or NYC/Jersey. If I wanted to see stores or kiosks full of it, where should I look?
Who is this photographer/sociologist?!?
About 3 years ago at the Strand bookstore, I encountered a photography book that seemed to be a retrospective of the works of one photographer whose name I wish I had written down. It was a huge hardcover book. Don't remember what the cover looked like. But I DO remember some of the photographs in it, and was hoping somebody here might be able to recognize the photographer from my descriptions. [more inside]
Rural photography recommendations?
When living in the city I had no problem finding photographers to look to for new ways of seeing that particular environment. Now that I live in a fairly rural area, I'm looking for recommendations of photographers—particularly contemporary ones—who have an interesting take on rural or wilderness photography. I'm specifically not looking for landscape/wildlife photography of the long-lens-ken-rockwell variety, but other than that anything goes. A couple things that come to mind as examples are Lee Friedlander's New Mexico stuff or Stephen Shore's lonely dirt roads (although iconic 50s gas stations are in short supply on the Gulf Islands.)
Is it even a tree farm I'm looking for?
You know that last time you drove through Mississippi or Louisiana and you passed by acre after acre of pine trees, all in nice rows? Help me find a publicly-accessible spot like that near New Orleans so that I can use it as a background in a photo. [more inside]

Disagreement at work about best photography practices!
When shooting and preparing an image file for print, I've always tried to set things up so that the highlights are bright, the shadows are dark, and everything else is in the middle. At work, I've occasionally been told by my immediate superior that I'm overexposing my images, and that the highlight detail is, in their words, 'blown away'. Checking my files, the highlights in the images in question cut off around 245, sometimes as low as 240! Is there a reason why they'd want the highlights even greyer? [more inside]

Info about Nan Goldin photograph
I have this Phaidon Nan Goldin monograph written by Guido Costsa, and there isn't any info or even title/date of the (NSFW) cover photo. It is the same photo as you see here: link. I would like any info available about this photo. Does anybody know who the model is, what her relationship was to Nan, when the picture was taken? Any other interesting info? Thank you.

Help on a building an audio experience to accompany a photo
For my job, I'm looking for some material to create an audio soundscape for this photo. I don't know much about hip hop or what might have been associated with hip hop culture in 1993 coastal Texas. What songs, ambient sounds, interview snippets, or other (very short) sound experiences would enhance your viewing of this photo?

Where do I get universal 4x5 ground glass?
I've got this image of a piece of ground glass mounted in a standard 4x5 film holder. I've googled all sorts of things to try and describe what this is, but I cannot find where I can buy this. I've seen tons of pieces of ground glass that are for specific cameras, but that's not what I want. I want a piece of ground glass in (and sold with) a frame that makes it the exact size and thickness for putting into any sort of large format camera. Basically, what that picture shows. What is this and where do I buy it? Thanks!
I hate the camera I bought two years ago. Is there any way to like it?
I bought a Nikon D90 with the 50-105mm/f3.5 kit lens and a 55mm/f1.8 fixed lens. I liked it at first, but now I hate it. Is there any way now to like it even a little bit? [more inside]

Website that showed 'Street Style/OOTD' of people with similar bodyshape
I am trying to remember a website I vaguely remember. It was like lookbook.nu but everyone had their height/weight/body shape in their profile, so you could search for fashionable style posts/outfit of the days with people with a similar body type to you? [more inside]
I like your face; I promise I don't want to make it into a jacket
As a photographer, I often spot people on the street who are interesting to me, and of whom I'd like to make portraits. With guys, that's fairly straightforward - I just approach them and ask. However, I'm unsure about how to approach women whom I think would be good portrait subjects. How can I do this without being creepy? [more inside]
bulk slide scanner for a mac - without breaking the bank
I'd like to buy a bulk (i.e., 20+ in a stack) slide scanner that will work with recent-model (usb/firewire/thunderbolt) macs. I see prices ranging from $1200 for used Braun scanners, to some real cheapies that look like a mistake waiting to happen for under $200. What's in the middle? Most of the used Nikons in the $500 range on ebay are SCSI only; I'd love something that works with current hardware (i.e., NOT SCSI) and has a pretty wide gamut - something approximating the RAW quality I get from my digital SLR. Is there hope for me?
What camera should I take to Patagonia?
My girlfriend and I are leaving for a vacation in Chile in about a week. We'll be spending most of our time hiking and seeing glaciers and penguins in southern Patagonia, with a few days in Santiago at the end. I'd like to bring a compact, versatile, weatherproof camera with great image quality, 15-20x zoom, and good low-light performance -- but compromises must be made. What kind of camera should I take with me? My budget is $300-750. [more inside]

Can you explain to me this shadow-line phenomenon in a photo?
I feel like I understand a thing or two about light, but I can't figure out how/why this particular phenomenon happens. This photo I took shows a shadow line cast by my bank (on the right) that seems to just hang in the air. [more inside]

Yesterday several holiday events happened around Stayton. I attended the Toys For Joy Santa Cruise-In car show and breakfast at the Stayton Fire Department, and the Christmas and Craft Bazaar at the Stayton Middle School. I took a lot of pictures, so I'll be posting them over the next handful of days.
Note: I didn't make the Christmas tree lighting last night, because I was practically falling asleep sitting at my computer, so if anyone has photos, please send them along (sitespecialwebcom) and I'll post them here. Thanks!
Today's photos are from the breakfast and Toys For Joy drive inside the fire department. Click on the thumbnails below to see more photos.
Tomorrow, I'll have photos from either the car show or the craft bazaar, so come back then.

quote: Want a good hard drive? Get a Samsung F1.
quote: NOT the "holy" Free-market! Please, learn the TRUTH: "there's no such thing as a free-market".
quote: Want a good TV? Get a Samsung TV. Want a good PC monitor? Get a Samsung LCD.
quote: I was just pointing out that Xerox invented most of the computer stuff we take for granted today, but completely failed to capitalize on it.
quote: Do you guys realise that the PARC team who built the Altos and the Apple team that made the Lisa/Macintosh included the same people
quote: As they are both shipment numbers the comparison is fair.
quote: Or, if you weren't such an Apple hater, Apple has sold 38.5% fewer phones. Notice how you hand-picked the number to use in your 'article'.
quote: Now, lets examine the complete failure of misunderstanding context and invalid conclusion. You are comparing Q3 only, not a year, or a more substantial period of time, but one period only.
quote: The iPhone 4S sold 4m in the first weekend alone. Weekend. That's 14% of Samsungs QUARTERLY sales in one weekend. That of course, from you, gets no mention. The numbers sold already probably bridge the gap completely, making your whole article completely invalid.
quote: The bottom line is that you are the worst journalist I've ever seen, on any technology site ever. You're not just ignorant, and biased, you're downright misleading, manipulating the facts to try and paint the picture you want to believe.
quote: In all fairness if he had chosen this number the android fans could make the exact same argument in reverse, he chose one set of numbers doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
quote: Companies release profits per quater it's not unreasonable to publish the results this way, year end sales arn't out yet, both samsungs and apple's are for this quarter. Unless you are proposing he waits till the end of the year to publish the article but to be honest this is newsworthy and people have an intrest so its fair to publish them when released.
quote: Attacking the journalist because it displays something in a negative light is absurd and shows your bias.
quote: You say Samsung sold 65% more. The numbers are: Samsung 27.8m Apple 17.1m That's 62.3% more.
quote: Yet even with one phone, Apple has managed to completely rape Samsung till now.
quote: In all fairness this is not strictly true. Apple had the iphone, the iphone 3G, the iphone 3GS, the iphone 4, the iphone 4s. the 4 and 3GS in three different models 8Gb 16Gb 32Gb and two colours {black and white}, the 4s in 3 different models 16Gb 32Gb 64Gb and two colours, the 3G in two models 8Gb or 16Gb and the original in three models 4Gb 8Gb 16Gb. Now for other manufactures this might not be significant but I have freinds who went to buy the white 3GS when it came out even through they already had the black ones, largely because iphones are also a fashion statement.
quote: With regard to the 3G, 3GS, iPhone4, and 4S - the original poster clearly was referring to one new phone in any given cycle (say a year), in comparison to Android manufacturers who bring out multiple different phones (not just variations) during the same period.
quote: Oh wake up, the cellphone market is a completely different animal to the smartphone market.
quote: Apples market is, ironically (given your comment), the high quality smartphone segment. The Samsung phones are cheap plastic, the iPhone is glass & metal, no comparison in terms of quality. The iPhone 4S is also much, much faster than any other smartphone, and that includes every single smart phone. The fastest GPU found in a Samsung phone is the Mali 400. The PowerVR SGX543 in the iPhone 4S is much, much faster. All I hear about with people who have Samsungs is awful battery life & problems with lag and slowdown during multi-tasking. Even the processor running at 1.2 ghz is nowhere near as fast as the A5 in the iPad 2 running at 1 ghz, so the CPU will probably be about the same as the iPhone 4S running at 800mhz.
quote: As for 'asses' handed to them? Please. This quarter happens to be the only quarter Samsung has outsold Apple and also coincidentally is the longest period of time since Apple has released a new smartphone since they started. The gap in sales has probably already been made up by the iPhone 4S sales, which amounted to 4m in the first WEEKEND alone. And of course, at the budget price that Samsung are selling phones, their profits are way, way lower. If Apple charged the same they could sell comfortably more, but choose a more educated and more logical sweet spot between sales and profit.
quote: In other words, Apple will sell more in Q4 and will make more profit from each.
quote: This isn't really a argument the numbers are quite clearly presented all apple's profits show is that they charge more for products and that us as consumers are prepared to pay more for said apple products, it is however also true that as the markey becomes more and more saturated there will be a smaller and smaller demand for smartphones through this won't only apply to apple.
quote: The 5 to 1 figure as I understand it includes feature phones which apple don't sell, I could be wrong through
quote: This is definetely not true.
quote: This statement could not be more wrong. Firstly, just because you use a particular phone doesn't add any credibility to your claims of any particular phone being faster or slower. The GPU of the iPhone 4S is indeed TWICE as fast, even if it is downclocked slightly it is still the fastest GPU on a mobile phone. The CPU, running at 800 mhz appears to outperform the exonoys chip:
quote: Sorry, I know you asked me to ignore the benchmarks proving you wrong (shockingly) because you believe it's only due to 'software' that the CPU/GPU combination in the iPhone 4S is much much faster. But guess what, I don't stick my fingers in my ears and shout 'LA LA LA LA' like you. What is indisputable is that the CPU/GPU combination in the iPhone 4S is the fastest you can get in any phone, full stop, with or without software
quote: You also addressed none of the quality points I made which were not all related to the performance. With regard to dismissing performance because of software, how ridiculous is that? Guess what, phones COME WITH SOFTWARE, and the performance that matters is THE PERFORMANCE ON SAID SOFTWARE. What use is a CPU which can run 1.2x faster when it can't actually achieve any performance game when you make it run software. That is ridiculous head in the sand arguing. What's more, even if the CPU in the iPhone 4S was slower, the GPU being SO much faster more than makes up for it, making the iPhone 4S the current clear performance king, especially given that the entire OS is hardware accelerated. I don't see any evidence from you whatsoever that this is not the case, in fact I don't see any evidence from you whatsoever showing any benchmarks in which any Samsung phone is faster than the iPhone 4S? There's a reason for this, of course
quote: Samsungs is awful battery life
quote: problems with lag and slowdown during multi-tasking
quote: Companies report the profits in quarters, that is the nature of the business it can't be helped that apple didn't launch a phone before the end of the quarter but don't forget that was their choice and the results are theirs. Also some people me included consider apple expensive I still use an iphone but would love it if prices were cheaper.
quote: Agreed apple has already sold more than 4 million 4s's but these are still the results for this quarter
quote: Again, you completely miss the point. Companies release profits in quarters, but they also release them annually. But the issue is not with looking at numbers quarterly, and the issue isn't even about Apple having not released a product in that time (which as you ridiculously point out, is their choice). The point is that you can't and SHOULDN'T (and nobody who has a clue) draws conclusions from one quarter, such as suggesting that it now means that Samsung sells more smartphones. Particularly, as is the case, that the best selling phone of all time, the iPhone 4S, was released in the very next quarter, and we already know what phenomenal sales it has achieved. Reporting quarterly figures is one thing, and that's fine (and all that any of your points defend). Reaching illogical conclusions from that small dataset is the failure, which completely escaped you. As I said, the gap in sales has probably already been made up with iPhone 4S sales.
quote: It's beyond belief really that you don't understand the point. I'm not denying the figures, I'm denying the conclusion. The conclusion that Jason reached that Samsung is now the smartphone leader is illogical given the knowledge any tech enthusiast has about the development and release cycles Apple has.
quote: You do realize that Samsung outsells Apple 5:1 in the cell phone market, don't you? Apple's market is severely limited as there is only so many people willing to buy overpriced, easily breakable items like an iPhone. It's really kinda sad to see Apple getting their asses handed to them by Samsung in the smartphone arena now too. I've got a big family here fella and lots of phones amongst the kids. The iPhone just can't compare to the current Samsung offerings, especially in overall quality.
quote: ... You really believe you're the world's gift, don't you? ...
quote: Apologies for saying all this bad language. It's inconsistent with a proper perspective and morality.
quote: Apple is refusing to discontinue using these patents because they are covered by FRAND {Fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms}. Yet they refuse to license what most people consider other FRAND patents back to samsung
quote: Also android was founded in 2003, four years before IOS was released to the market if they were copying IOS they wasted 4 years playing solitaire waiting for IOS to release, IOS is also built on unix not there own work, siri on wolfram alpha and vlingo, capitive touchscreens were out long before apple came around excfept for certain gestures {which shouldn't be patened} pinch to zoom apple innovated nothing...
quote: Apple bias and I suspect you claim you own an iPhone just because you think it'll mask your blatant Apple-hatred just that little bit. Well guess what, it doesn't.
quote: Samsung has very little cost investment in the Android phones and use Apple as their R&D.
quote: Even the term "iOS" belongs to Cisco and Apple pay them to use it.
quote: If you followed the family tree of iOS you would find that Jobs took the NeXTSTEP OS with him when he left NeXTSTEP and rejoined Apple, and that it was the basis of OS X, which was supposedly the operating system on the early iPhones. NeXTSTEP was derived from opensource software and Unix. I think there is a lot more copying done by Apple than you would have us believe.
quote: Really? Google is not the sole financier behind Android, rather it is financed by the Open Handset Alliance, which has 34 member corporations and companies, some of which are Samsung, Google, Vodafone, Sprint, T-Mobile, HTC, LG, Huawei, Sony, Motorola, Garmin, Acer, Dell, and ebay. I would suspect membership of this alliance doesn't come cheap (especially if you are selling handsets by the millions), which would be a motivating reason why companies such as Samsung, Huawei, HTC, and LG (and obviously Motorola) have Android handsets. The alliance was formed in November 2007. Google got Android when it purchased Android Inc in 2005.
quote: If you bothered to actually look at the truth you would see that Mac OS is completely and totally Apple work.
quote: I wonder which business model will turn out to be the most successful in the long run?
quote: Plus of course Samsung sold more phones, apparently, but made less profit. That's interesting. A bit like Amazon saw revenues sharply up and profit sharply down. Apple by contrast seems to be able to grow sales at a fairly steady 100% growth rate per annum and still retain some of the highest rates of profit in the business. I wonder which business model will turn out to be the most successful in the long run?
quote: They do all the R&D on their products and code all of their software.
quote: iOS was coded by Apple from the ground up.
quote: They have no R&D investment in coding a mobile OS.
quote: And very little in designing their phones because they use the iPhone as their copying material.
quote: That is one of the highest costs of a smartphone and Samsung gets it completely free from Google.
quote: You will pull one teeny, tiny example of software Apple didn't create...they did refine it, though...and try to make it look like YOU have all the correct answers and that God, himself, cannot show you up.
quote: Apple put out all of the money for their phone and phone system. Samsung and the others ripped Apple off of all the technology used in the iPhone. Look it up, God, and see.
quote: They use Apple as their R&D by copying the iPhone
quote: The numbers being used are from "Strategy Analytics" not apple not samsung not mircosoft. All the numbers used a shipments therefore its a fair comparison.The reason why apple can give actually numbers is the fact you needed to always activate it whereas with other phones you don't.
quote: duh... the same business model that brought mac os to the top of the w.... wait, wait, no, not that business model... maybe the business model that's allowing iOS to dominate the mobile mark.... wait, wait, not that business model... what were you saying?
quote: "'losing' the PC wars,"well they did lose the PC war by their own admission macs aren't pc
quote: I always find it interested that anyone against apple is seen as an android fanboi. I'm just here to point out your errorsYou say that you said"As I said some unofficial and unverified sales figures show Samsung selling more handsets than Apple"you didn't you said that"This story is all based on estimates, not actuals. Apple, by way of contrast, always gives figures for actual Phones sold"Which is misleading as you are saying that apples phone sold where used in the figures. when these figures aren't based on that"All I know is that Apple sells more computing devices than any other company on the planet - by far. "Firstly you need to define what you mean by computing deviceSecondly are you talking about a this year or last year or 10 years agofinally i think you are alluding to articles that say they have sold more portable computing devices in October-december quarter of last year.

The only other negative will also be removed 09/2011.
I am feeling pretty good. Will wait until October to get my numbers again.
By the way Equifax policy on removing discharged Chapter 13 is on their website at 7 years after filing:
- Bankruptcy
- Chapters 7, 11, and non-discharged or dismissed chapters 12 and 13 remain on file for 10 years from the date filed
- Discharged chapters 12 and 13 remain on file for seven years from the date filed
If they don't actually do that I guess we can protest since it goes against their stated policy on their own website!

Kidnap attempt conviction voidedAugust 03,2014Kidnap attempt
conviction voided
MONTPELIER The Vermont Supreme Court has overturned the conviction of a Swanton man who was sentenced to serve 30 years to life for the attempted abduction of a woman in Burlington.
The justices ordered Chittenden County Superior Court to look again at the case of Harold D. Porter, who was 45 when he was convicted in 2012 in the incident three years earlier.
The Burlington Free Press reports the Supreme Court faulted Judge James Crucitti for allowing police to testify about how they eliminated from suspicion some potential suspects who drove trucks closely matching Porters.
The defense had objected during Porters trial that only 12 of the 20 owners of Vermont-registered trucks similar to Porters were called to testify.MORE IN This Just InHARTFORD, Conn.

Scheduled window installation through the office of Jiffy Auto Spa & Glass. During installtion, there was evident damage (cracking of a fiber glass piece) to a drip flare he had to remove in order to install the windshield. Which I immediately brought attention to after the technician requested payment. I withheld payment until he got Dan, the owner on the phone who said he would take care of the damage if I paid the technician. Dan over the next couple days spoke as if he were attempting to find a replacement part or somewhere to that would repair the damage. After a week of waiting, I attempted to contact Dan again, where he did a complete 180 and stated he is not going to look into repairing the damage nor will he pay to have the repairs done. I have emails and texts from him stating he will make things right. I have pictures of the damage.

I have both Heat Wave and Schiap, and I am absolutely in love with them. Both bright colors, the semi-matte finish and high quality keeps them from looking garish. The formula glides on easily, but is neither drying nor moisturizing. Would reccomend!
Pros: long-wearing, excellent color range, non-drying
Cons: waxy smell, not cheap

Her voice is what got me.
I don't think I've been this traumatized in my life before.
Just how I like em. Young and slutty.
I felt gay after writing that title. But don't worry, after I jerk off to her for the 3rd time, I'll definitely feel a lot less gay.
Click the fucking thumbnail to witness the greatness. Wow.
Now how are you supposed to rape them if you're paralyzed? Jackass.
Damn, her pussy was sweet. But this revenge is sweeter. *Mark Wahlberg voice* Say hi to your mom for me.
Getting arrested for raping this ass?! Totally worth it!
So Panda's are in fact violent and horny creatures. Snapple fact #493 was true after all.
Cheating on your final exams can have some fucked up consequences. Especially if you're as hot as this bitch is.
You MUST watch this guy in action. Best salesman ever. Fucking EPIC.
It sucks buddy, but you got to move on. There's always this thing called porn, and massage parlors.
Gutterslut in training takes to Craigslist and finds the dirtiest fucker in town to double her allowance. Except anal sex wasn't outlined in the e-mail. Do you think she learned her lesson?

There are two option for calculating long term capital gain on unlisted share.
1st is by Indexing and the 2nd is without indexing.
Can any one explain without indexing method...........bcoz I am not getting in books
The two method for computing LTCG on Shares with and without indexation is stated in provisio to section 112 of IT Act requires following;
Section 112
that where the tax payable in respect of any income arising from the transfer of a long-term capital asset, being listed securities 10[or unit] 11[or zero coupon bond], exceeds ten per cent of the amount of capital gains before giving effect to the provisions of the second proviso to section 48, then, such excess shall be ignored for the purpose of computing the tax payable by the assessee.
In view of above, transfer of shares of an unlisted company shall not have benifit of the above provisio and shall be taxed @ 20% rate.
Thanks and Regards
Juzer Sadikot
LTCG on listed shares is already exemted so why two method for calculation
Its again very simple...
Option 1 : With indexation - tax rate is 20%
Option 2 : Without Indexation - tax rate is 10%.. here directly 4m sale consideration deduct the cost of acquisition n the balance shall b LTCG which will b taxable @ 10%....
Here the option is given to the assesee to select the option whichever is benifcial to asseessee....

Here the option is given to the assesee to select the option whichever is benifcial to asseessee....
Technically speaking no option, its always lower of following;
20% with Indexation or
10% with out Indexation
Correct me if I am wrong.
Dear Md. Raza,
your question was on unlisted securities, now total analysis became on listed securities.
way of without indexan shown by Megha Shah is just appropriate. First calculate capital consideration recd. less cost of acquisation without index benifit = LTCG
again Mr.Zazir what sais - minimum is also absolutely correct, but that is for LTCG on Listed Shares & Securities
Thanks for reply..............
While going through my note book I found that two option are available only in case of Listed shares which are sold without paying STT or sold through a stock exchange which are not recogniesd...............for unlisted shares only 1 option
Am I right?
The unlisted shares capital gain is computed in the normal manner and indexation is available for the same. The Options r available only for listed shares and not unlisted shares. The period of holding for unlisted shares & debentures r same as for normal assets like house and other tangible assets. Now the answer of ur 2nd question, why two metheds of calculation for the listed shares which r long term. Because the gain is taxable at 10% if computed without indexation and it will be taxable at 20% if computed with indexation. The exemption is available u/s 10(38) only if shares r sold though stock exchange and securities transaction tax is paid otherwise not exemption is available. U r right.
Dear Members,
For LTCG in case of Capital Asset being shares of listed Company (Listed Shares) the Assessee doesnt have any "option".
Its always lower of two (refer my previous post)
Further the use of word Option in computatation of Capital Gains on Listed Shares can create big drama/blunder.

There are many uses for fossil fuels, including oil, where the alternatives are nowhere near as advanced as wind turbines, solar panels or electric cars. Stopping pipelines in Canada does not speed up the development of alternatives to oil. It doesn't slow growing oil demand in emerging economies, where most of the growth in energy demand will come from in the future.
The workers and tradespeople who make up the oilsands sector have been hard hit by the recent oil slump. But a new group that is launching today is aiming to put oilsands workers back to work in the renewable energy sector and are calling on the Alberta government for support. Iron and Earth is a non-profit led by oilsands workers who want retrain 1000 electrical workers on 100 different solar projects.
Rather than engaging in a robust post-election rebuilding process and seeking to broaden its base, the Conservative party has decided to retreat into their comfort zone of regional grievance politics. Under the leadership of Rona Ambrose, the Conservatives appear to be abandoning any attempt to repair the national coalition that swept them to power in 2006. Indeed, today they look more like the Canadian Alliance of the early 2000s than the governing Conservatives of the last 10 years. The latest and most obvious example of this is the party's recent opposition day motion on the Energy East pipeline.
Crises can make us restless, inquisitive, and ready for innovative revolution. With history as a guide, we can expect some noteworthy entrepreneurial trendsetters to emerge from the current crisis -- people who refuse to be intimidated and instead think creatively about making the best of a downturn.
Rachel Notley's challenge has been to reassure the fiercely skeptical Alberta business elites that were horrified to wake up last May to discover the NDP had risen to power. With the economy already hammered by plummeting oil prices, they feared that the New Democrats would inflict further damage through a climate change plan that would drive up costs and cripple the oil sands. But business leaders in the Alberta can read the financial press as well as the rest of us and now seem to be buying Rachel Notley's view that they better try to be part of the solution.

Are you ready for my delicious and healthy recipe for reduced-sugar, nutrient-dense, peanut-butter chocolate fudge?! It takes less than 5 minutes to make!
Today, I have one of my delicious Lean-Body desserts or snacks that always helps to satisfy my sweet tooth, while at the same time getting TONS of quality nutrition.
It's my own special version of a healthy peanut-butter-fudge! If you don't like nuts or peanut butter, you can simply leave out those ingredients and make a chocolate-only version. Pay attention, because there are specific ingredients that make this a LOT healthier for you than typical fudge.
I will say that this dessert/snack is not low-calorie, per se, but it is loaded with quality healthy fats, some protein, LOTS of antioxidants, and is relatively low in sugar (compared with typical fudge or other desserts), while also containing a decent dose of fiber.
Overall, it's a great snack or dessert that helps curb your appetite, fuel your muscles, loads you up on protective antioxidants, and quells that sweet tooth that often makes you overeat on refined sweets.
Geary's Lean-Body Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe:
- 3/4 cup organic coconut milk (NOT the watered down "light" version which just replaces some of the healthy coconut fat with water...use the real full-fat version)
- 1 bar (3-5 oz. bar works well) of quality extra dark chocolate (look for at least 70-75% cocoa content on the label to minimize sugar content)
- 4-5 tablespoons of peanut butter or your favorite nut butter (almond butter, cashew butter, macadamia butter, etc)
- 3/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
- 1/2 cup whole raw almonds ... Continue

Pirates of the Caribbean 3. I mean granted, the problems of parts of it feeling a bit too pandering to fans of Jack Sparrow to ridiculous degrees or having too much things going on that could be their own movie are entirely true. But as a whole the movie's incredibly fun, and honestly far less of a rehash than the 2nd one. While I wish there was more of the 9 pirate leaders or the character deaths or the purgatory Jack ends up in, all of it is really entertaining. The humor's as good as the first movie and all the backstabbing and double crossing is done very well and it's a great conclusion to the series.
Agree with this. The soundtrack was also freaking amazing.
Also, Spider-Man 3. I just shut my eyes tight, cover my ears and yell really loud when Pete starts dancing.

For the price of the player I paid $14.99 and it was supposed to cover anything that happens to the player--then the sales person said "it doesn't matter what goes wrong with the player, if it stops working just call them and you will get a refund for the merchandise. You don't even have to send the merchandise back--they don't want your damaged stuff back--just let them know and they trust you and will send you your refund automatically. I tried this because the player I purchased was not turning off--just stayed on all the time.
By the time I talked to a real person, all they said was that the player was covered by the manufacturer warranty of one year and I would have to pursue the matter through them before I could actually file a claim under the ppp warranty plan. After spending coutless time on the phone, I gave up trying and am out my $14.99 and the price for the player which was $59.99. because Office Depot will not take the player back.

A difficult thing about WordPress is it's hard to rely on plugins.
Most are free, and there is no guarantee that the plugin that is giving you the functionality you need will still be around a year from now.
Around 2009 Automattic floated the idea of moving the better plugins into a core-like space, where there was an implied guarantee that the plugin would be actively developed.
Anyone have any idea if the concept's been abandoned?

M for Montreal 2015
M for memory making, for motivating and, oftentimes, for magic. But more than that, M for Montreal stands for M for amazing music. This year the tastemaking music festival and conference, which aims to assist up-and-coming artists not just at a local level, but internationally as well, is pulling out the stops for its 10th anniversary edition. For four days and nights, November 18-21, well over 100 local and international acts will be showcasing in more than 20 venues around Montréal in tandem with numerous conferences and networking opportunities with recognized music industry heavy hitters. Panels and workshops with specially selected delegates from around the world are a key feature of M for Montreal which, like the city it calls home, aims to strike that perfect work/play balance. "It's really special for us to see many of the international delegates and media experience Montréal for the first time," says M for Montreal programming director Mikey Rishwain. "And we try to build on that by making magic happen between business and pleasure." The wizardry this year includes a markedly increased focus on electronic and hip-hop music. This is in addition to, of course, the usual onslaught of leading edge, mostly made-in-Montréal… / Read More →

Suhr, who set a world indoor record in March and along with Yelena Isinbayeva is one of only two women to have ever cleared five metres, put her defeat down to tiredness from a late arrival in London and trying out new poles in competition for the first time.
London silver medallist Silva, beaten on countback in the Olympic final, won with a clearance of 4.83m. Suhr could only muster 4.73, good enough for second but down on her outdoor season's best of 4.80.
"What's amazing is I was on bigger poles than I've ever been on," Suhr told Reuters.
"Really it was just about trying to get the timing right at this meet. The exciting news is that I've now been on poles I've never been on before."
Silva, with the five leading leaps in the world this year, is clearly the woman to beat at the world championships in Moscow next month, where twice Olympic champion and world outdoor record holder Isinbayeva is set to bow out from a sport she took to new heights.
"It's going to be some final," Suhr said.
"But I just have to focus on myself and my jumps right now. I'm really excited looking forward.
"Training has really been going well, it's just sometimes I think you are jumping better than your story and that's it right now.
"I'm jumping a lot better than what I'm putting up."

Skill Level Beginner
In the movies up to this point we have been dealing with what are called primitive variables, that is variables that hold just one value at a time or arrays of primitive variables. On the other hand, another very common kind of variable, if you want to consider it that, is a string. And a string is not a variable because it actually consists of a number of character variables. So strings are usually used for analyzing texts, and in this movie, I want to show you how to create strings and in next one, I'll show you how to work with them.
I'm going to start by putting a comment with my file name here at the top, and I'm going to start by manually entering some text. This is the easy way to do it. What I do is, first as I need to declare the variable type. Now this one is String, please note it's a capital S. This is important, Processing is case sensitive, and also it's because this one is an object, it's not an individual variable and that's why it's got this capitalization.
I need to give a name to this one, I'm actually going to use a little line from the movie the Deer Hunter, and type equals and then in quotes, I'll put, "This is this. It's not something else." If I recall correctly, and then I finish with quotes and then a semicolon (;). So now I actually have a string of text that I can use, and what I can do is if I want to double-check on it, I can do a print line, and that's a long variable name, so I'm going to copy it and I can run it, and then you see that I have the text showing up down there in the bottom of the console.
On the other hand, a lot of times you actually want the text to show up somewhere else. And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to create a window here, 600x200 that we've been using so far. Turn on anti-aliasing. I'm going to give it a light gray background color, I'm going to give a fill, if you want the text to appear in a particular color, you need to give it a fill. This one, I'm going to go with the green, and then I'm going to place the text, use the function text, then give the name of the variable or the string.
It's telling me to put it right there and then where you're going to position it. In this one, I am going to put 100 pixels over and 140 pixels down, and I press Run and what I get is some bright green text on the light gray background. By the way, the pixels determine the baseline of the text. So it has more to do with the bottom left of the first line of text. That's a little hard to read, I'm actually going to change it to just straight black. I can do that by just removing the fill.
If I just come in back here, I am changing these two 0, 0s all the way through. There we go. That's the simple version. I do want to show you another thing that I'm going to do a little bit differently. And that's about reading text from an external file because that's usually how you're going to get your text. And this is going to be the first movie where we actually have a file to start with. If you go up to the folder for this movie, you'll see there is a file there called Szymborska, it's a text document.
If you double-click on it, you'll see it's a poem by the poet Laureate of Poland, Wislawa Szymborska called A Contribution to Statistics. It's a wonderful piece. And what you can do to add this to Processing, the easy way is to move over your whole folder window here and just drag the file onto the Processing window. And you can see right here, it says, one file added to the sketch on the bottom, and back in the window over here, you see that we now have a new folder called data, and we have this Szymborska text within that one.
Now normally, you would be dragging the text in from another place and of the same folder as the sketch already, but Processing creates a data folder and that's where it puts text, that's where it put images or fonts or other things that it needs to deal with. It just automatically, if you just drag the file into the Processing window, so I can close that one now. And what I want to show you is how to access that text and to read it a little bit. What I'm going to do is I'm going to create another string variable. And this one, I'll call it poemLines.
When you have a text file, each line of text is its own string, and so actually we're creating an array here because we have many lines of text. So I'm calling it poemLines, it's an array. And then the function that we want to use is loadStrings, and then in parentheses, and in quotation marks, we put the name of the text ("Szyborska.txt"), well, I'm missing a letter.
And then what I can do is I can do print line, and if I do poemLines, now what it's going to do is it is going to print the entire contents of the array which is the entire text file, so you don't want to do this if you have a huge thing. But this one isn't real long, so I can just hit Run, I get my Deer Hunter quote here, and then down here you can see that we have our array with every line of the poem.
It does a couple of funny things. Number one is, it's putting quotes around every line which is a little distracting. The other one is that there are blank lines in the poem and it's putting quotes with a blank there also, which isn't exactly what we want, but what we can tell is that it has successfully read the file. And I want to just a little something else here. I want to show you how you can read just one line at a time if you want. So right here, I have poemLines and that's going to read the whole entire thing. Comment that one out.
Let's read just a few lines, so for instance let's read zero and one. I can put index numbers in square brackets. If you want to refer to just one item in an array, that's how you do it. And I'm going to copy that, I'm going to put it on a separate line, and what this is telling is that I want to print the very first line which is index number zero and then the next line index number one in the poem. And now when I run it, there you can see I've got my first two lines. And so this is the initial way of creating arrays.
You can either enter them manually, like I did with my example of this quote, or you can load an external text file which is the most common way of doing this and then dealing with an array of strings that result from it.

Many people have this belief that online distribution of game titles via downloads will kill the retail store model business of selling games. The truth is that it will take decades for technology to come to this point in where downloading games kill retail business. Please read the following article here as a reference:
Furthermore I would like to point out that there is competition out there using the technology of cloud computing to allow subscribers to purchase games online and play them over an internet connection. Even then, again these services are relatively new in terms of technology and will also take years to even remotely dent the retail store model. I seriously doubt sony, nintendo, and microsoft will be converting their systems over to a cloud computing model anytime within the near term. The fundamentals are here, the demand is here, and the dollars will follow. Enjoy!
See www.onlive.com for reference to cloud gaming.
"The majority of trade credit given for pre-owned trades goes towards the purchase of a new title at GameStop."
We don't know how much of the credit goes towards other used games or hardware, or as cash it could be spent on groceries or drugs or whatever. We don't know.
"If pre-owned was eliminated from the equation, new game sales would drop dramatically."
I estimate sales would drop by low single digits %, that's all. The major pubs have GME at around 14% of their sales. From GME's 10K, new game sales is 3.73BN and used game product, including hardware and accessories, is 2.39BN. I don't know how much of that 2.39BN is software, so I'll just guess at 75% = 1.8BN. So if all that credit disappeared, conceivably GME's new game sales could drop by about half, meaning GME would become 7% of new game sales for those pubs instead of 14%, i.e. total sales dropping by 7%. That's the worst case. If half of that credit goes towards other used product or non-games items, then total new game sales would drop by 3.5%. And that's also assuming 0% of the used game buyers buy any new games instead. More than likely, most would do so. Therefore that low single digits number drop could become 2% or lower.
I'm not interested in picking sides, but here's a thought regarding the long, many-years debate re: pre-owned games.
If pre-owned was eliminated from the equation, new game sales would drop dramatically. The majority of trade credit given for pre-owned trades goes towards the purchase of a new title at GameStop.
Does this mean it shouldn't or won't happen, re: the removal of pre-owned from the equation altogether? That it will destroy new games sales forever? I doubt it, but the effect would be felt heavily. Just something to think about.
In fact, a good example to help understand this effect would be the automobile industry. Even though the product is very different, the effect of taking away pre-owned trade vehicles from the equation, would have an immediate & terrible impact on the sale of new vehicles. Very few could afford to buy without a trade-in. To a lesser degree because of price point, the same thing would happen to sales of new video games. So in a way, developers/publishers ARE getting a net benefit from the existence of the pre-owned game business.
Again, not taking sides. But certainly something to think about. DLC/full downloads would similarly be affected even at a lower price point, as many would no longer be able to afford as many game purchases w/out the trade dollar.
Again, not taking sides. The point of DLC-only w/no retail at all would force the adoption of it quickly for those in the population who could afford it. But would developers make enough profit from the reduced fan base to continue making the games they do today? Who knows, I certainly can't predict the future, just raising an interesting point to consider.
Somewhat agreed in that they need them today, but certainly would not be opposed to phasing them out over a few years. 360 already sells older titles on line and adds to that library all the time. Again, slowly but surely.
If the retailers disappeared tomorrow, sales for titles would certainly drop initially especially due to jester's point that not everyone is online yet, but I think they would rebound rather quickly as people just more quickly migrated to downloading the games, especially if the prices dropped due to elimination of retail markup.
"So because something is possible, it will inevitably happen? Why hasn't it happend already then? Weird logic."
We've already discussed the power balance, and the trend. What you're saying is that because a knock-out punch in an MMA fight is possible, why doesn't it happen immediately? Because the other guy is generally softened up for a while over several rounds before the winner emerges.
"IMO - GME does not need to return to previous growth rates in order to command a higher valuation."
That's good, because it never will return to previous growth rates, not even including the eps boost from buybacks.
So because something is possible, it will inevitably happen? Why hasn't it happend already then? Weird logic.
GME is extremely conservatively valued. The share price will adjust as GME's future prospects become clearler and as it adapts to the changing market.
Right now the valuation of GME is very close to a worst case assumption IMO - GME does not need to return to previous growth rates in order to command a higher valuation.
"Again, they could easily take these kind of step now and offer full digital releases alongside retail tomorrow if they wanted to. The technology has existed for some time."
And it will happen.
"If retailers en mass decided to not support a title because of parallel digital distribution, what do you think would happen to that title's sale?"
Can retailers afford to? You're right there's a power balance. GME's position is strengthened by the closure of other retailers like CC and BBI, but it's weakened by continuing digital growth. Over time, the retailers will get weaker IMO, not stronger. That trend is clear. Look at how aggressive pubs have gotten already, with those $10 passes for "free" DLC for first time buyers, etc. They will get more aggressive over time, not less.
I really doubt there's much monetizing of the used market for the pubs. They want to encourage new first time sales. I doubt the kind of person buying a $20 used game is going home to buy $10 DLC for it, even assuming they are online to begin with.
You acknowledge yes that these are negative trends for GME and they will continue? That in turn puts off potential investors.
Again, they could easily take these kind of step now and offer full digital releases alongside retail tomorrow if they wanted to. The technology has existed for some time.
Clearly they are very reluctant to damage their relationships with their retail partners. I think you are underestimating the importance of that partnership. Gamestop in particularly is heavily promotional for game releases - it is a symbiotic relationship. If retailers en mass decided to not support a title because of parallel digital distribution, what do you think would happen to that title's sale?
Initiatives like the Online Pass are clearly aimed at participating in the sales of used games, not trying to eliminate it completely. Publishers clearly realise the danger of a wholesale attack on the secondary market both from consumer backlash and retailer retaliation. It's far more likely we will see incremental steps towards monetarising the secondary market. To what extent this will be successful remains to be seen.
"There is absolutely nothing stopping platform holders TODAY from putting single use codes in their products. Why do you think they aren't doing it then?"
They can't yet, because such a code would require an online connection and only around 70% of console owners are online. This is why the content which publishers have locked for non-first buyers is MP content. It's only a matter of time before they start including locked SP content though. Imagine if a big game like Modern Warfare 3 were to have locked MP and a "free SP level" (for first time buyers), *and* it were sold on the MS and PSN digital stores for $50. Sales volume would be higher for the platform holders and publisher, margins would be higher on the digital sales than retail sales, used sales would be down which would be another positive for them, and GME's best chance to compete would be price cuts at the expense of their own margins.
It's just another negative trend for GME which is only likely to get worse for them, not reverse course.
I don't know why they haven't yet, but I certainly think one of them will try sooner rather than later.
Here I mean codes that limit the use of the entire product to first purchasers.
