So we're signed up and I get my first bill, it goes up $190 from the previous month. I didn't think much about it at the time. Then I get my next bill and its again over $125 more then we're normally paying before switching. So I decided to call my original supplier National Grid and they informed me that Citizens Choice Energy doubled their rates after we switch over to them 2 months ago. She said Citizens Choice Energy rate was at .05 cents per kWh at the time we signed up with them in July but it quickly went up to .10 cents per kWh the following month (August & September).
If thats not ripoff I don't know what is, specially after the stranger in our house said to my girlfriend that he guarantees I would save money. I also called my Town's Police Department and they confirmed that neither Citizens Choice Energy nor the sales person that came in my house did not have a Hawkers/Peddlers Permit to Solicit Door to Door in the Town of Tonawanda, NY which would make any contract illegal, voiding it. I also don't see how my girlfriend could gain access to transfer my account with out my authorization?

A few weeks ago, Clay Imoo (@CanuckClay), Arielle Tuliao (@ajtuliao) and I had the opportunity to create a holiday video with the Vancouver Canucks - using their film crew at Rogers Arena, with special guests appearances by players Ben Hutton and Jake Virtanen. A few different sets, a few costume changes and about 5 hours later, we had a video!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!

Celebrating Canada with the Seattle Seahawks
Sunday, October 18, 2015 marked my second NFL anthem appearance. 69,020 people in attendance, and apparently it was a record-breaking number for the Seahawks. It was definitely a record-breaking number for me!
I'm so thankful that I was chosen to be a part of the Canadian Appreciation Day experience. I felt as patriotic as ever, standing in front of a crowd of Americans, peppered with Canadians, singing our National Anthem, then, singing the American National Anthem. The roar of the crowd was unlike anything I've ever experienced. Intimidating...but I think it's the adrenaline rush of the thrill that keeps me wanting more and more.
It is a true privilege and a great honor to share my talent with the world, one anthem at a time.
Celebrating our country, the true north, strong and free, with the Seattle Seahawks. What a thrill! #12North #OhCanada

Singing the American anthem in front of 69,020 people in America is really intimidating. I'm getting anxious watching...

Vancouver WhitecapsFC Media Invitational
At every VWFC game, I get to walk on the pitch at BC Place. This time, I traded my heels for a pair of cleats. I didn't score any goals and our team didn't win a game, but I got to play a new sport, run around the turf at BC Place, not to mention catching up with old friends and making lots of new ones.
Check out the video recap here, and check out some of the photos below:

Find + Seek | Puzzle Adventure Room
Find+Seek, an adventure puzzle room!
When they told me about their new business venture, I was not only (obviously) impressed that they were starting their own business, but I was also intrigued by the idea of a puzzle room that wasn't connected to the theme of the horror movie, "Saw" - find your way out, or saw your foot off, or DIE. It's way more family-friendly with no sense of death looming around you.
So I gathered a couple girlfriends to try it out. None of us have ever done anything like this before, and we went in with no prior knowledge of puzzle/exit rooms.
Here are the basics: 45 mins to solve the mystery. If you get stuck, they'll provide you with some hints (we received a lot of these hints haha). Be prepared to think - strategically, mathematically, with logic and plain common sense. Sometimes the answers were easier to solve than we expected - right under our noses!
After being briefed on the game, we were ushered into a room that was fully decked out - decor, furnishings, trinkets - everything in the room had a purpose. Even the TV screen, which was a means of communication between us and the "Watchtower". If we were stuck, we'd call for the Watchtower and they would give us clues. Once we passed a step, another task would appear, getting us closer to solving the mystery.
Verdict? All three of us had feelings of complete excitement, competitiveness, happiness of being rewarded after every successful passed step, but, ultimately, disappointment that we failed. 60% complete isn't good enough!
Needless to say, we'll be back again to solve "The Mystery at the Majestic Theater", and again when Find+Seek releases their other chapters.
Marie's hints? You're allowed up to 10 people at one time, so build a collective brain by bringing more people in. Study the room for clues - everything is there for a reason. Lastly, enjoy the mystery!
If you're interested in going, don't hesitate to check out their website, or their social media pages. You can also get 20% off the booking with discount code "GOMARIEGO" if you go before September 30. Book here. Don't forget to say HI to my cousin Kevin!

Patrick's Green Head Beetle
Guide Patrick McIntyre ties one of his Pyramid lake flies "Patrick's Green Head Beetle". This fly has proven to catch the biggest of the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. The Green Head Beetle has a larger profile than any beetle on the market. Extra floatation with a sexy plus size profile make it incredibly attractive from a distance. This realistic subsurface terrestrial creates an irresistibly delicious looking meal that encourages rude and impatient table manners.

DEFINITION of 'Choke Price'
An economic term used to describe the lowest price at which the quantity demanded of a good is equal to zero. At any price below the choke price, consumers will demand some quantity of the good. At any price equal to or above the choke price, consumers will not express any demand for the good.
BREAKING DOWN 'Choke Price'
By using a demand schedule and/or demand curve, a company can see where the choke price is as well as the differences in the quantity of a good that consumers will demand at different prices. For example, consumers might purchase 200 units of a good at $40, 1,000 units of a good at $20 and 2,500 units at $10, but zero units at $50. Therefore, $50 would be the choke price. The term "choke price" is typically used in discussions of nonrenewable resources.

I accepted and they came back and said there would be a 500.00 fee/deposit. I then declined their offer and told them I was no longer interested.
I then went to a Voicestream office and purchased phone and plan.
That evening I received an email from InPhonic saying Congratulations!they had sent my phone and the plan was with Worldcom. I immediately contacted them and showed them I declined their offer and told them I did NOT want their phone.
I was told that due to their hurrying to get my phone out they did so without cking my response. I said I did not want the Voicestream plan advertised and would purchase it on my own from VoiceStream. They took it on themselves to send me a Worldcom Phone and plan.
They assured me that I could return phone (which I did) and the charges would be reversed. That was mid January. Since that time we have tried repeatedly to tell them the phone was returned and to stop billing. They do not listen. They are still sending us bills.
They threaten to cut off my service and I told them Go Ahead, I don't have the phone, I never even turned it on!
They said they will charge me a 'fee' for early termination.
How do you stop these idiots? I can't even talk to them without losing my temper. I don't have the phone, I never even turned it on. I advised them I returned it. It is like talking to the wall!

A 34 year old Grade 8 teacher at a school in Toronto is facing sex assault charges, after allegations from a 13 year old male student.
Toronto police arrested Joseph Diletto Wednesday night and he's since been charged with sexual assault, sexual exploitation and sexual interference.
Police say they can't say more about the allegations, to both protect the identity of the student in question, and to maintain the credibility of the investigation.
Diletto was released on $2500 bail Thursday morning.
The Toronto District School Board says the Hollycrest Middle School teacher will be on home assignement as the investigation continues.

Cadillac Deville Engine >> LOW COOLANT OR LOSS ON 1997-2001 GM 3.0L EGNINES
Low Coolant Or Loss On
1997-2001 GM 3.0L VIN R Engines
AERA Members have reported a low coolant or coolant loss on 1997-2001 GM 3.0L VIN R engines. This engine was used in the Cadillac Catera.
Customers may complain of low coolant light being on and or engine overheating as well. An oil cooler cover leaking due to an adhesion condition between the oil cooler cover and the engine block may cause this condition.
Remove the oil cooler cover from the engine and the old sealant from the engine block and the oil cooler cover. Use only a plastic or metal scraper to remove the old sealant residue. Clean both surfaces using a solvent that will not leave any residue on those surfaces.
Apply a .080 bead of sealant, Part #2378521 (Canada use Part @#88901148) or equivalent, in the groove around the engine oil cooler cover as shown in Figure 1. Install the engine oil cooler cover back to the engine block and torque to 22 ft/lbs.

New on DVD: Albert Nobbs (2011)
May 30, 2012
A "trouser role" in opera is a male character can be performed by a woman pretending to be a man. Albert Nobbs is about a woman who takes it a few steps further, determining to live her entire life as a member of the opposite sex.
New on DVD: Certified Copy (2010)
May 23, 2012
Initially it looks as if Certified Copy is going to follow the familiar format: Two strangers spend several hours talking and walking through a picturesque setting. But questions of what's real and what's phony will dominate this fledgling relationship.
New on DVD: The Whistleblower (2010)
May 16, 2012
Based on the real experiences of Kathryn Bolkovac, The Whistleblower carries a big dose of moral outrage. The film isn't easy watching, but Rachel Weisz's performance gives the film a human and humane center.
New on DVD: Warrior (2011)
May 9, 2012
Fight movies tend to follow the same well-worn paths. Happily Gavin O'Connor's Warrior tosses in a few welcome changeups. And it's been so well acted that even the familiar somehow seems fresh.
New on DVD: The Tree of Life (2011)
May 2, 2012
You'd have to go back to 2001: A Space Odyssey to find a motion picture as inspiring and divisive as Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life. It's a story of one family, but in fact it attempts to distill the very experience of being human.

Tell us the Good Stuff!
50 Years Later.
As I looked around at the thousands of people standing in the pouring rain to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. 50th anniversary of his 'I Have a Dream' speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C, I thought about what it meant to be there now and 50 years ago. The feeling I got when I was there, just listening to the speeches moved me in a way I never felt before. I was honored to stand there, to be apart of it. The fight isn't over yet, but there is a hope for a better tomorrow. As long as we never give up on what we believe in.

Skip to comments.'This is 21st Century racism and apartheid': Cherokee Indian tribe expels all slave descendants
Posted on 08/28/2011 9:41:59 PM PDT by smokingfrog
The nation's second-largest Indian tribe formally booted from membership thousands of descendants of black slaves who were brought to Oklahoma more than 170 years ago by Native American owners.
The Cherokee nation voted after the Civil War to admit the slave descendants to the tribe.
But on Monday, the tribe's Supreme Court ruled that a 2007 tribal decision to kick the so-called 'Freedmen' out of the tribe could be upheld.
The controversy stems from a footnote in the brutal history of U.S. treatment of Native Americans.
When many Indians were forced to move to what later became Oklahoma from the eastern U.S. in 1838, some who had owned plantations in the South brought along their slaves.
Some 4,000 Indians died during the forced march, which became known as the Trail of Tears.
'And our ancestors carried the baggage,' said Marilyn Vann, the Freedman leader who is a plaintiff in the legal battle.
Officially, there are about 2,800 Freedmen, but another 3,500 have tribal membership applications pending, and there could be as many as 25,000 eligible to enter the tribe, according to Vann.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
No one ever talks about the Indians who owned slaves, the Jews who owned slaves, and the freed blacks who owned slaves. I think the Cherokees may owe some reparations.
If the Freedmen start their own tribe, it will known as "The Sue".
(That's a legal joke, folks)
Maybe they could all stop living in the past? Nahhhhh. No money in it.
You are absolutely correct. I am shocked by these revelations. Now in full disclosure I was told by my grandmother that her grandmother was a 'full-blood' Cherokee. And so some years back I was attempting to located a genealogical record of this woman. I made contact with the powers that be in OK to see IF they might have records... and got a cold response that unless she was on the 'rolls' I had no claim... Thing of it was I was NOT trying to make a claim, I just wanted to find out what I could about this woman.
Obviously this 'word' slave has a very narrow meaning set in time. I am trying to find the correct word to describe what it is to have been place into perpetual bondage/debt by our elected officials.
Yup. Their casinos pretty much scalped the white man of their money.
>>No one ever talks about the Indians who owned slaves, the Jews who owned slaves, and the freed blacks who owned slaves. I think the Cherokees may owe some reparations.<<
And if reparations are ever asked from White America (whatever that is), then White America must ask for reparations from the original slavers — African tribes.
>> I am trying to find the correct word to describe what it is to have been place into perpetual bondage/debt by our elected officials. <<
I'm sure money isn't involved in this demand to be counted among the tribe. But after reading the article, and from only a few pictures, it didn't look like the Freedmen'inter-married into the tribe. But in reality, maybe I am wrong. Set me straight if you know.
"No one ever..." not really true. It is no secret. When the VP of the Cornfederacy was a Jew who could ignore it?
Just a hunch, but do ya think this might have anything to do with casino money?
Uh, yeah - the more that is in the tribe, the more the loot has to spread around.
I suspect sharing the casino money with a possible 25,000 new tribesmen might have something to do with it. It might also have something to do with the 25,000 new applicants thinking they're going to get casino money.
My children's Dad gets a check from the Nation every year, I don't know how much it is, but way back when it was $25 from oil revenues. But neither he nor his parents lived on the reservation under Nation laws, and that may have something to do with it. The mostly full blood heritage Cherokees that live on the reservation get a lot of benefits, especially in housing from the Nation. His Mom was of full blood Cherokee heritage, but his Dad was only half. My grandkids are the last in line to be able claim the heritage and they don't get any revenue as their heritage is diluted.
The more folk they can cut from the casino income distributions, the more grand mansions available for those still on "the list".
"Removal from the membership rolls means the Freedmen will no longer be eligible for free health care and other benefits such as education concessions."
'Nuff said!
To late ....already a blackfoot tribe.
and listen to them howl and parse and make excuses when the name Judah P Benjamen comes up...it's hilarious but sad...their ignorance
we southerners were pretty cool with our Jewish homies in antebellum days...they were more fellow travelers then than now politically
A must read for those interested..I have a few other more obscure writings on old Jews in the south...you would be surprised at the number of temples in little towns and the Jewish part of the old South Carolina constitution granting Jews specific religious freedoms
For the record...from what I can glean on this...I think the black Cherokees got the shaft. It doesn't seem right
I want all NeoYankees and race baiters here who call me racist day in and day out to take note.
Cherokees fielded army units for the Confederacy—the First and Second Mounted Rifles—many fought at Elk Horn Tavern for the south. The last Confederate General to surrender was a Cherokee. They supported the Lost Cause in hopes that they could, after the south won the war, become a state of their own in the CSA.
But, of course, if it was just about government money it probably wouldn't be an issue. Before there was casino money there was oil money too.
Some people against membership for Freedmen descendants support Chief Smith's stance that the Freedmen are not Cherokee citizens because their ancestors were listed on the Freedmen Roll of the Dawes Rolls and not on the "Cherokee By-Blood" Roll. Smith and supporters claim that the Freedmen and their descendants have not been active in the tribe for 100 years, that the Freedmen were compensated for slavery with their Dawes land allotments and not tribal membership, that they were forced on the tribe due to the Treaty Of 1866, and that they are solely after the tribe's resources and Cherokee Nation's federally funded programs
>>And if reparations are ever asked from White America (whatever that is), then White America must ask for reparations from the original slavers African tribes.<<
All of them were either Mohammedans or abetted by Mohammedans. Mohammedans are ultimately responsible for all of our race issues. That's what pains me, as a white man, to see the many black women covered from head to toe in black burqas, right here in America.
I'm sorry,but being freedmen doesn't mean they were accepted as full- fledged tribal members,unless they had an ancestor that was a member of the tribe
Anthony Johnson, one of the first blacks brought to the original Jamestown colony in 1619, was responsible for establishing slavery in Virginia in 1655, when he won a lawsuit declaring his black servant, John Casor, to be his slave for life. Prior to that point, blacks imported to Virginia were only indentured servants for a period of a few years, and thereupon became free.
There are no "Native Americans".
Just an argument over who got here first - and when.
"Some 4,000 Indians died during the forced march, which became known as the Trail of Tears."
Yeah... they leave out the reason. The Cherokees were aligned with the Confederate Army and were killing Union soldiers and raiding supply lines.
1838 - Trail of Tears
1861 - Civil War or War Between the States (take your pick)
Look at all the self-hating white people who pass for black, or try to by dint of constant noise-making. Look at Eric Holder. Every day he's more sneering at Whitey, because he seems paler by the week. Colin Powell--first black Sec of State? No, that was Condi Rice.
Ben Jealous is the funniest because he is the whitest and the most jealous of black people
It's all the reverse of that old melodrama with Clark Gable and Yvonne DeCarlo, "Band of Angels." Where she was passing for black, now we have all these people passing for black to try to cash in on the race hustle.
The whole story of the Trail of Tears doesn't tell an interesting part--that many of those displaced by force from their land looked as white as Yvonne deCarlo. They owned farms and slaves in the Blue Ridge and Smokies. But land-grabbers found a pretext and managed to corrupt Jackson. So a lot of those along the Trail of Tears were simply white people who failed to "pass."
Just how much cream can be in that coffee before it's cream instead of coffee?
Correction: in the old movie, Yvonne deCarlo's character was unintentionally passing for white until her white father died and she became subject to the the slave laws of antebellum Lousiiana.
· In 1861, John Ross, the renowned principal chief of the Cherokees, who had led them wisely for almost forty years, took a decided stand against the Confederates. He issued a proclamation (May 17), in which he reminded his people of their treaty obligations with the United States, and urged them to be faithful to them, and to take no part in the stirring events of the day.
I don't think that is why the more pure Cherokees are today expelling the black members.
It's about the money and the blacks went with the original tribe to Oklahoma decades prior to WBTS.
Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole and Creek history is a long one of betrayal and mixed loyalties and bad results isn't it?
going back to Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee
only the ones on the right side at the very end escaped the relocation and many of them betrayed their own
a sad affair
I just don't see why kick out the blacks now after 5-7 generations and a fair amount of mixing
unless many of those blacks have scant relationship to the tribe...which could be..I see folks claiming Indian all the time who sure don't look it
lots of folks around Middle Tn that carry Indian blood...I read it runs at least 10-15%...even after our huge Yankee migration here
one of the richest men here ..Jack Lowery...Lumbee from NC...looks Indian but blonde/white hair...lawyer started MBE business as a road builder...one of state's largest and being Lumbee..he gets set asides.
probably worth north of 100 million
i own businesses around him...very approachable guy...in Lebanon TN he is Mr Jack to everyone
(no, I'm not stalking you BOT...I just happened to see the COEXIIST posts at same time..lol)
Good point...I don't know either...had not thought of it that way?
Your clarifications are causing me to rethink this?
Doesn't what's his name...post here?
let me think...right wing Indian pundit...pal of Wes Studi..(real Indian)
I looked it up...David Yeagley...used to post here as Bald Eagle or Owl Eagle I think...conservative pundit but I think he is Comanche descended
who knows...interesting legal case no question...I'll follow it...keep us posted
I don't believe that Alexander Stevens was Jewish. Perhaps you are referring to Judah Benjamin, who served as Secretary of State and Attorney General for the Confederacy. He was Jewish.
You are correct, thanks for rectifying my mistake. He was also Secretary of War. Turns out Benjamin was twice offered to be nominated Justice of the US Supreme Court and turned them down. I didn't know that.
I am a big supporter of reparations ...from Democrats since they are the ones who made up the Slaverowners.
Looks good.
Benjamin was the SECOND Jewish Senator. The first was from Florida, David Yulee.
Charleston was a center for Judaism as early as the Revolutionary War.
It was the discovery of gold on Cherokee lands which led to the removal of the tribe. This was one of the most disgraceful acts in US history where a president told the highest legal authority to stuff it. Jackson was a great general but a miserable person so his illegalities are no surprise.
People who visited Arkansas in the formative stages of the state often commented that the Cherokee who had relocated there were more civilized than the whites. As one born and raised in the state I can report this without censure. And there is some Cherokee blood in my veins so have some sympathy there.
Wait until they find out they are due $50K because they "tried to farm" at some point. Pigford III anyone?

I am searching for a pair of black opaque (not sheer or semi-sheer like pantyhose) TIGHTS in the 20-30 mm compression gradient range. I use the compressionstockings.com website to typically order my compression garments since they have a lot of brands, but I'm stumped on this one. I have a good pair of sheer/nude compression hose, and lots of black opaque knee socks, but the knee socks aren't enough when I'm on my feet all day and I like wearing a lot of dresses with truly opaque tights in cooler weather.
I've decided to start researching brands now, as we all know that these stockings can be expensive.
Have any ladies in this community found good black tights?

They did not leave a telephone number to contact them on the internet and from the data I have collected on Columbia House so far, it would be futile. As an unsatisfied customer I legally withheld business from them.
My so called obligation time ran out in Oct 2006 and they automatically billed my credit card for 2 more movies without my permission. I disputed it with
American Express and they concurred with the dispute. They began to threaten me with filing a discrepancy against my credit rating with some National Credit Institute. Check you credit rating everyone!!!
After attempting to communicate with them on the internet, all I recieved was some form of automated bullshit about my oweing them money anyway.
June of 2007 I received a notice from a collection agency for 21.95.
Today I pulled 41 Ripoff reports about this company and counting my complaint it will be 42 over a period of 4 years. Maybe it is time for a class action suit against this type of behavior.

Given these rather disappointing developments, it's little surprise that some look back at Web 1.0 with longing.

Crazy like a (Fire)Fox
While it used to be the leading alternative to Internet Explorer (and others), Firefox has seen its market share erode steadily since the 2008 debut of Google Chrome. The Mozilla Foundation has made several oft-controversial bids at relevancy, including native video chat, Pocket integration, a mobile browser (and OS), a UI overhaul, and a rapid release schedule that's reached version 40 (and counting). But the latest proposal -- part of a reboot of the stalled Electrolysis multiprocessing project -- will prove the most daunting. Although it will modernize the browser's architecture, it also deprecates the longtime XUL framework in favor of more limited and Chrome-like "web extensions" -- requiring Firefox's vast catalog of powerful add-ons to be rewritten from scratch or cease functioning. While developers will have until 2017 to fully adapt, opinion is divided -- NoScript's Giorgio Maone reassures doubters, while the DownThemAll! team says "it feels like I just learned my dear old friend Firefox is going to die."

FCC votes for Net Neutrality
When President Obama appointed Tom Wheeler (a former top telecom lobbyist) as chairman of the FCC, he got a lot of grief for selling out his '07 pledge to protect Net Neutrality -- the founding principle long prized by open web activists that ISPs cannot privilege certain data over others, without which dire visions of a tiered and pay-for-play internet loomed. Earlier, weaker attempts at net neutrality had failed in court, and the new chairman looked set to fold. But after an unprecedented outcry following last year's trial balloon for ISP "fast lanes" -- including a viral appeal by John Oliver, a public urging by the president, and perhaps Wheeler's own history with the pre-web NABU Network -- the FCC yesterday voted along party lines to enact the toughest net neutrality rules in history, classifying ISPs as common carriers and clearing the way for municipal broadband. ISPs reacted with (Morse) venom, while congressional Republicans are divided over what they called "Obamacare for the internet."

Peak Advertising and the Future of the Web
"Advertising is not well. Though companies supported by advertising still dominate the landscape and capture the popular imagination, cracks are beginning to show in the very financial foundations of the web. Despite the best efforts of an industry, advertising is becoming less and less effective online. The once reliable fuel that powered a generation of innovations on the web is slowly, but perceptibly beginning to falter. Consider the long-term trend: when the first banner advertisement emerged online in 1994, it reported a (now) staggering clickthrough rate of 78%. By 2011, the average Facebook advertisement clickthrough rate sat dramatically lower at 0.05%. Even if only a rough proxy, something underlies such a dramatic change in the ability for an advertisement to pique the interest of users online. What underlies this decline, and what does it mean for the Internet at large? This short [PDF] paper puts forth the argument for peak advertising—the argument that an overall slowing in online advertising will eventually force a significant (and potentially painful) shift in the structure of business online. Like the theory of Peak Oil that it references, the goal is not to look to the immediate upcoming quarter, but to think on the decade-long scale about the business models that sustain the Internet."

In 2005, it was acquired by Yahoo!, who killed the site last April with little warning, and no way to back up events. Fortunately, the complete site was saved by the Internet Archive. But Upcoming isn't dead yet! Two months ago, Yahoo! offered to sell the domain back to Baio. And now, with a fully-funded kickstarter, he's planning on "rebuilding it for the modern era using tools and platforms that weren't available when it was first designed."

Both inside and outside the walls of Facebook, the story of social games has become one of dead geese and golden eggs, flatlined growth, formulaic games and shady practises. Many warned that the sector was slowing down, but sometimes giants need to fall. It needs to get bad enough before people start to really consider what's next... So what comes next?

New Google+ Study Reveals Minimal Social Activity, Weak User Engagement Fast Company summarizes a new study from RJMetrics that looks at public posts, +1s, replies and reshares on Google+. It concludes "the average post on Google+ has less than one +1, less than one reply, and less than one re-share." Google replies that public posts are a poor metric of user activity; Fast Company replies that "Google has refused to provide clear figures and metrics for its social network's active user base" and links to Danny Sullivan's "brilliant rundown of Google's lack of transparency on the subject" - If Google's Really Proud Of Google+, It Should Share Some Real User Figures.

"Those obnoxious intrusive ads that pay $42 a day are the only way a site like ours stays afloat."
A Transparent Attempt to Explain the Economics Behind Running a Pop-Culture Website and the Need to Run Intrusive Advertising The thing about display ads is that you are paid for about what they are worth, which is to say: $.30 per 1,000 impressions. Most people barely even notice them, so advertisers are not willing to pay you very much to run them...Instead, we have to use intrusive ads which are paid on a much larger scale, approximately $7.00 per 1,000 impressions. So, if a site like ours generates 100,000 impressions, that should be $700 a day. Awesome. We should be rich, right? Not so much. Pajiba previously. [via Slashfilm]

Britain will have representatives in all five Olympic gymnastic events, and have hopes of beating their performance in 2008, when Louis Smith won Britain's first gymnastics Olympic medal for 80 years with a bronze in the Pommel Horse final.
Smith competes again in the men's squad, while the women's team is headed by gymnastics veteran Beth Tweddle.
"Gymnastics in the UK has gone from strength to strength since Beijing 2008," said Team GB Chef de Mission Andy Hunt. "Never before have we won so many international gymnastics medals and had such a successful Olympic cycle as the last four years and I am fully confident that with the support of the UK behind them, our gymnasts will deliver many memorable performances to inspire the nation."
Tweddle said she was thrilled to have made it to a third Olympics.
"It is of course a massive honour to be selected to Team GB for the Olympic Games," the 27-year-old said. "This is my third Olympics and with it being on home soil it's definitely the most special. The build-up has been totally different and you really feel the support of the whole country.
"From Beijing to here has been a long journey. After 2008 I wasn't even sure I would carry on, but the huge support for London and the enthusiasm of the public has really motivated me and inspired me to carry on training hard." "It's unbelievable to be named as part of Team GB for London," Smith added. "It's been such an intense time in the lead up to the announcement with such a strong squad to pick from. Now we've got to do the business at the Games, which we're all capable of. "It's just been a crazy four years since Beijing, for me and especially for gymnastics in this country. I'm not sure anyone ever expected such rapid development and it's such a positive thing for everyone involved in the sport. Now we have a chance to really show how far we've come."

"Santa Monica" Top 5 Page for this destination Santa Monica by antistar
Santa Monica Travel Guide: 478 reviews and 1,123 photos
We stayed in Santa Monica in lieu of Los Angeles. Firstly because it's nicer, and secondly because that's where our recording studio was. It's officially outside of Los Angeles, but exists as a part of an enormous unrelenting suburban area that stretches from the Pacific to the horizon, even when you are several thousand meters above ground.
It's a very affluent area. Chic bars, exclusive restaurants, and shiny sports cars everywhere. It's a little expensive too. Despite all the money, the place is still pretty relaxed, and manages to attract a large population of homeless people. In fact, that's probably the memory of Santa Monica I will remember most strongly: the most striking juxtaposition of rich and poor I've ever seen.
Santa Monica isn't the greatest place in the world, but it has a pleasant beach, quality restaurants, a relaxed atmosphere, good shopping, and is not too far from LAX or Los Angeles itself. It makes a good alternative to other places in the city.

Interesting observations - SM has always been a haven for the homeless - Venice Beach will always be a culture shock. I do miss good Mexican food!
advertised as Ocean View ,you leaned on window you could see the ocean. partial ocean view. 3 calls before a tooth brush (about 1 hour). The walls not insulated . We almost checked out at 2:00 AM too noisey.
I really enjoyed the very short visit to Santa Monica we managed to fit into our trip to LA - I hope to return some day. Gillybob greetings
An enjoyable and well-written page on an Englishman's insights into the California 'scene' - quite funny too! Nice to see how the rich and famous live. I wasn't so reticent, having dipped my feet in Frisco in '79 while enroute to Papua New Guinea!
Wow! The Huntley sounds swish! Can't believe you didn't even go for a paddle in the Pacific though Tim!!! :))

The Best & Worst Sketches from Julia Louis-Dreyfus' 'Saturday Night Live'
Posted on Sunday, April 17th, 2016 by Ethan Anderton
This weekend, Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus returned to Saturday Night Live as host for the third time. Since SNL is on NBC it should come as no surprise that there a little bit of Seinfeld made it into one of the sketches, and it even included another alum from the iconic comedy series. Beyond that, this last episode in a batch of three in a row actually turned out to be the best in the trio, though the pre-recorded sketches definitely overshadowed the live sketches this time.

- Birdie's
This mission is short. There are 2 ways to get your guns. One is to steal them and one is to win them. Beat the high score in the shooting competition to win them. For the challenges you will be doing this competition multiple times. It can be difficult until you get enough practice. The other route is to steal. You will need a notebook for a safe combination. There are a few routes to get this notebook. One is to knock out the store owner and grab it from him. The other is to find it in a locked bunker (you need the keycard from behind the store clerk at start of mission). The challenge descriptions will give you more detail on the routes you can take.
Mastery - Birdie's Gift:
Complete all challenges.
Use the disguise in this mission. There is only one, which is a police uniform.
Evidence Collector:
Collect the evidence in this mission.
Evidence 1:
You need the keycard which is behind the store clerk at the start of the mission. Go turn the power off by switching a lever in the back of the store. When it's dark the clerk will leave his post. Now go grab the card that was behind him. Go to the duck shooting area in the store and crawl through the vent. Go through the window and sneak through the trench. Once you find the bunker, open it with the keycard. You will find the evidence inside.
Avoid getting spotted. This will likely unlock with other challenges (like by winning the competition).
Suit Only:
Do not use any disguise in this mission.
Depends on the Girl:
Go outside to the shooting range and there is an empty stall. Go to it and enter the contest.You do not have to win for this challenge to unlock. The Bullseye challenge does require you to win.
You must enter and win the shooting contest. Go outside to the shooting range and there is an empty stall. Go to it and enter the contest. You must score more than 471 points (difficulty does not higher/lower this number). Aim for headshots every time. You get 20 points each headshot or 10 if it's slightly off. The rest of the body doesn't give enough to make it worth it. Use Point Shooting when you can (when there are 3+ targets) but be somewhat sparing. There is a point when 5 or so targets pop up in a row that are worth your patience. You will have to win this with multiple weapons for other challenges.
Assassin's Signature:
You must enter the shooting competition and score a total of 674 points. This is extremely difficult to do. See the Bullseye challenge for more information on score (though not much help on getting that high of a score)!
You need to win the shooting competition using this rifle. This gun is located in a bunker. You need the keycard which is behind the store clerk at the start of the mission. Go turn the power off by switching a lever in the back of the store. When it's dark the clerk will leave his post. Now go grab the card that was behind him. Go to the duck shooting area in the store and crawl through the vent. Go through the window and sneak through the trench. Once you find the bunker, open it and on top of a duffel bag is the gun. This room also contains the evidence. See the Bullseye challenge for more details on winning the shooting competition.
It Wouldn't Be Stealing:
You cannot kill anyone in this mission for the challenge. Right when you start, head to the back of the store. There is a lever you can pull to sabotage the lights. This isn't exactly a requirement, but it seems to trigger the store owner to appear in his office more quickly. Turn and you'll see the duck shooting area. Head through there and look right. Crawl through the vent and the store owner should be there. Subdue him and take the notebook. You should see a green safe. Open it, take the key, and return the same route to where you started. You can turn the lights off again. You can now open the display. Leave the store to finish the mission as well as the challenge.
Shiver Me Timbers:
Duck Hunting:
There is a "Duck Shooters Field" in the corner of the store (an open door). You will see a police officer shooting at mechanical ducks. Shoot 10 yourself to complete the challenge.
Choosing Weapons:
Complete the mission.
