Considering buying in Toronto -- what would you do?
I'm single, in my late 20s, living in Toronto. My family thinks it's time for me to buy property and has generously offered to give me enough money to put down a 25% down payment. I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed and hesitant, for a few reasons. I'm at the very beginning of thinking about this so I'm probably missing some fairly obvious things. Please help me think through this. [more inside]

Save me from suburbia!
So, our neighborhood has never been the awesomest in terms of violent crime and drug stuff (in Toronto, btw), and some sudden recent changes are about to make it even less awesome. We have little kids. We bought this house ten years ago as a "starter home we'll sell in two years" and just... never left. Now we'd like to leave. But where do we go? [more inside]

Toronto Boundary Surveyor
I need to get a boundary survey on my residential property in Toronto. I've called several surveyors but have only heard back from one, who says it'll cost $900 and take two weeks to perform. Is this normal? Seems pricey and lengthy for an 18' x 100' rectangular lot. Any recommendations for surveyors in Toronto?

A Hot Tiguan?
Oddly I've got a sudden hankering for a Tiguan R using the Golf R's oily bits. I need to splash my face with cold water until I want a Golf R estate again.....
Jump to navigation
The 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan is on sale in the UK priced from £22,510. It's shown here in R-Line form in our gallery, which includes exclusive studio pictures.
Read our review of the new Tiguan
Video review
Volkswagen is claiming the new Tiguan comes with much-improved interior space and fuel efficiency gains of up to 25%. The new model is 60mm longer, 30mm wider and 33mm lower than its predecessor - and its wheelbase is up by 77mm, to 2681mm.
VW claims rear-seat kneeroom is up by 29mm, thanks to a redesigned split-fold rear seat that offers up 180mm of longitudinal adjustment. The boot capacity is up, too - by 145 litres to 615 litres with the rear seats in place or 1655 litres with them folded down.
Read our full review of our first generation Volkswagen Tiguan
The core of the Tiguan's engine line-up will be EU6-compliant diesel engines. There's a 114bhp 1.6 and a trio of 2.0-litre units offering 148bhp, 178bhp and 217bhp. Certain markets will get a variety of 1.4-litre and 2.0-litre turbocharged petrols too, but the UK is unlikely to see more than a couple of these at most.
The lower-powered engines get front-wheel drive, while the more potent units have a four-wheel-drive system offering four driving modes. Gearbox choices include a standard six-speed manual and an optional six- or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
All four-wheel drive variants now have 200mm of ground clearance - an additional 11mm over the front-drive models. There's also an optional Off-Road package that brings a reworked front bumper to increase the approach angle from 18.3 degrees to 25.6 degrees. Depending on the engine, the towing capacity extends to 2500kg.
VW also previewed a Tiguan GTE plug-in petrol-electric hybrid at the Frankfurt show the car was first revealed at. It uses the same basic powertrain as the recently introduced Passat GTE, mixing a 154bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for a combined output of 215bhp. It has a range of 575 miles.
Together, they provide the most economical of the new Tiguan models with combined consumption of 149mpg and CO2 emissions of 42g/km - and it can also travel for more than 30 miles in pure electric mode.
Close rivals include the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC.

Does the Volkswagen Tiguan blend a hint of SUV bad-weather confidence with decent on-road dynamics?
Oddly I've got a sudden hankering for a Tiguan R using the Golf R's oily bits. I need to splash my face with cold water until I want a Golf R estate again.....
Did someone pop into to Munich on the way to the design studio. Side profile is pure X5.
I agree with Mr Pushrod, I want the oily bits from my Golf R in one of those - that'll be a hoot.
I agree, it does have shades of BMW not just in profile but also rear 3/4 view. Not necessarily a good thing based on BMW's post Bangle, but in this case case, looks good. Personally not a fan of SUV's, though an R version could be interesting.
Bit disappointed though, five comments in and nothing from normal VAG haters. They need to lift their game.
Entirely predictable, but I rather like it. Looks more interesting than the outgoing car. Quite like the square stance of the front. Interior is typically VW though, dull.
Particularly like the front grille and headlamp treatment. Certainly an improvement on the outgoing model, but that wouldn't be difficult. Always thought it looked quaintly Japanese but not in a good way.
Contrary to everyone else, I'm not a fan of the way the bonnet curves down onto the grille on the Golf, Passat, and now this. It makes them look a bit weak from the front. And I'm surprised they've made the rear look so much like the Golf. Interior looks nice though.
Dull as dishwater like its predecessor. Memo to VW 'angular' went out after the 70's - time to move on guys!
with FWD will give plenty of oomph. Probably faster too than its AWD sibling cause it'll be lighter.
Is it just me or does it look rather like a Tonka toy version of a Golf? I guess it is hard to successfully style an SUV to make it appear more car like. No matter, it will sell by the bucket load, as it would appear to quite an improvement on the original, which drove okay for what it was.
The Touareg only has a 580 Litre boot... so how's this going to pan out then, is the Treg going to get bigger I wonder. Nice looking car though.

Emma Goldman
Emma Goldman, American anarchist and feminist, compelling advocate of free speech, the eight-hour work day, and birth control, was arrested in New York City on February 11, 1916, just prior to giving another public lecture on family planning. She was charged with violating the Comstock Act, an 1873 statute banning transportation of "obscene" matter through the mails or across state lines. At the time, federal courts interpreted the statute as prohibiting distribution of contraception information.
…when a law has outgrown time and necessity, it must go and the only way to get rid of the law is to awaken the public to the fact that it has outlived its purposes and that is precisely what I have been doing and mean to do in the future.Goldman was born on June 27, 1869, in Kovno, a Russian city now part of Lithuania.Like most poor Russian Jews, Goldman's family suffered under the political oppression and anti-Semitism of imperial Russia. She fled Russia with her sister Helena in 1885, settled in Rochester, New York, and was briefly married to a fellow Russian immigrant. Goldman worked in a garment factory, and disillusioned with working conditions there, she joined the labor movement. Goldman's political awakening continued. Her acceptance of anarchism–the belief that any form of government is unnecessary and undesirable–grew as a result of the persecution of anarchist and labor leaders of the Haymarket Affair External of 1886-87. Goldman moved to New York City in 1889. Her abilities as a speaker and writer contributed to her prominence among political radicals. In the 1890s, Goldman worked as a nurse and a midwife among poor immigrants in New York City's Lower East Side. She campaigned for legalized birth control, believing that contraception was essential to women's social, sexual, and economic freedom. Goldman was arrested twice (1915 and 1916) and imprisoned once (1916) for lecturing and distributing material in support of birth control. A co-founder of the No-Conscription League, in 1917, Goldman was again arrested—this time for speaking against the selective draft law . After two years in prison, she was deported to Russia in 1919. She lived and worked in Russia until 1921, when she left, disillusioned with the Russian Revolution. Exiled from the United States, Emma Goldman traveled through Europe, delivering lectures as an advocate of anarchism and individual freedom. She lived for a time in St. Tropez, France, and in Canada, where she died in 1940.

Bilcon To Sue Canada For $300 Million After Winning NAFTA Ruling On Quarry
HALIFAX - A U.S. company that proposed expanding a quarry in southwestern Nova Scotia says it is seeking at least US$300 million in damages from Canada after winning a NAFTA ruling.
Bilcon proposed the expansion at the Whites Point quarry in Digby Neck in September 2002 but the Nova Scotia and federal governments rejected it after a federal-provincial joint review panel recommended it not proceed.
The company filed a NAFTA challenge under Chapter 11, alleging there were gross irregularities in the federal-provincial process.
A NAFTA tribunal concluded that the joint review panel considered factors outside Canada's environmental legislation that were not disclosed to Bilcon during the review process.
The tribunal's March 17 ruling says it was unjust for officials to encourage the expansion of the quarry and later determine that the area was a "no go" zone for such a development.
The quarry was opened in the 1940s and the gravel it contained was used to build local highways.
Bilcon will seek damages during a NAFTA hearing expected to take place next year.

The trade pact needs the consent of Canada's provinces and EU member states to become law. So far, it's looking good on the provincial front: Quebec, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Saskatchewan's leaders have all praised the deal, and Ontario seems open to it assuming it can get compensation for some of its industries that will be harmed by the deal. Pictured: Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso shake hands following a joint media availability Friday, October 18, 2013 at the European Commission in Brussels, Belgium.
Canada will partially extend patent protection for brand-name drugs, which would delay the introduction of cheaper generics by up to two years. Officials say it will be eight years before any impact of these changes show up as higher costs for provincial drug plans. Earlier reports have suggested the cost to the health care system of extended drug patents could run between $1 billion and $3 billion annually. Jim Keon, president of the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association: The EU trade deal will "delay market entry of cost-saving generic prescription medicines in Canada in the future, increasing health-care costs for provinces, employers that sponsor drug plans for their employees and Canadians who pay for their prescription medicines out-of-pocket." The federal government has suggested it will compensate provinces for higher costs as a result of the agreement.
Domestic car producers will be able to increase sales into Europe to 100,000 units from about 10,000 today under relaxed rules. The EU will phase out its 10-per-cent tariff on imports, and Canada will phase out a 6-per-cent tariff on European car imports. That could be good news for Canadian fans of European luxury cars, as those vehicles will be cheaper. But that, in turn, could be bad news for Canadian auto manufacturers. Dennis DesRosiers of DesRosiers Auto Analysts: "I don't think anyone can definitively know what the impact of the current EU Agreement will be on the automotive sector. ... The [Canadian] industry peaked in the year 2000 and has been struggling since and, indeed, just finished one of its worse decades in history and continues to deteriorate. Was this the long term result of FTA and NAFTA? We don't know but it could be."
Canadian beef farmers increase their quota by 50,000 tonnes, in addition to 15,000 tonnes for high-quality beef. Pork farmers will see their quota rise to 80,000 tonnes from the current 6,000. But producers will have to convert to hormone-free product for the European market, which experts say can add about 15 per cent to costs. Martin Unrau, president of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association: "The removal of long-standing barriers in this agreement, such as high tariffs, finally enables Canadian beef producers to benefit from the high value that the European beef market represents." Dairy Farmers of Ontario: "It will take income from Canadian dairy farmers and their communities and give it to the European industry."
Companies will be allowed to bid on major government procurement contracts right down to the municipal level. A joint study showed the new access will give European companies leeway to bid on federal contracts worth between $15 billion and $19 billion an year, and municipal contracts worth $112 billion a year. Critics say that, because of the common practice of "hiring Canadian" in government contracts, EU access to them could mean job losses in Canada. Trade Justice Network: "Canadian governments would lose a powerful tool for spurring job creation and economic development."
Foreign takeovers of Canadian firms now require a formal federal government review if the deal is worth $1 billion or more, but this agreement will raise that to $1.5 billion.
Labour and consumer groups fear CETA could lead to the privatization of Canada's water supply and infrastructure. According to early leaks from the negotiations, Canada did not try to protect water resources as part of the trade deal. The Council of Canadians writes: "This deal will give French companies Suez and Veolia, the two biggest private water operations in the world, access to run our water services for profit. Under a recent edict, the Harper government has tied federal funding of municipal water infrastructure construction or upgrading to privatization of water services. Private water operators charge far higher rates than public operators and cut corners when it comes to source protection."

The Blue Angels usually fly overhead before the game, but Tom Brady and Philip Rivers put on their own air show on Sunday evening.
It was the usual three-ring circus that is the New England Patriots vs. the San Diego Chargers. The 35-21 end result was further evidence in a long history of San Diego's early-season struggles and overall struggles against the Patriots.
This marks the second consecutive game which the Patriots have won by 14 points, and the 10th consecutive regular season game in which they've scored more than 30 points.
Things look good from the start for the Patriots, while the Chargers are off to another shaky start to the season. Here are just a few things we learned about both teams in this contest.

Dr. Rita Kalyani is a junior faculty member in the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine where her clinical practice is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of diabetes. She previously completed a Masters of Health Science in Clinical Investigation at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health where she applied her training in epidemiology and study design to characterize the association of diabetes with disability in routine physical tasks. With the support of this Mentored Career Development Award (CDA), Dr. Kalyani seeks to establish the role of dysglycemia and/or insulin resistance (IR) in accelerated muscle loss and the role of current diabetes treatment modalities such as exercise or insulin-sensitizing medications in mitigating these effects. She also aims to better characterize skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes as a pathway connecting IR with subsequent loss of muscle mass and strength. Dr. Kalyani will (1) enhance her research knowledge and skills with training in clinical translatio research including: trial management, biostatistics, gerontology, body composition assessment, skeletal muscle physiology, and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, (2) be mentored by an interdisciplinary team of experienced researchers, and (3) be immersed in the research and clinical environments of the Johns Hopkins Diabetes Center, the Welch Center for Epidemiology, Prevention and Clinical Research, the Johns Hopkins Exercise Physiology and Body Composition Core, the Johns Hopkins Center on Aging and Health, and intramural National Institute on Aging--Clinical Research Branch. This CDA will provide her with the skills she needs to become an independent investigator in accelerated muscle loss as a complication of type 2 diabetes. Building upon her prior experience in applying functional outcomes to diabetes research, she has developed a novel approach to understand and clinically assess the association of dysglycemia and/or IR with muscle loss that draws upon the fields of endocrinology, epidemiology, gerontology, and exercise physiology.
In Aim 1, she will use two established datasets, one cross-sectional and one longitudinal, to identify clinical biomarkers of dysglycemia and indices of IR that predict decreased lower extremity muscle mass and strength.
In Aim 2, she will determine the extent to which the ability of exercise to attenuate muscle loss in persons with diabetes depends upon the existing severity of dysglycemia or IR, in a trial comparing a 6 month exercise training intervention to a control condition.
In Aim 3, she will recruit drug-naive adults with diabetes into a novel clinical study to investigate how an oral agent (pioglitazone) that improves peripheral insulin sensitivity, directly assessed with clamp, can effect changes in distinct but related aspects of skeletal muscle mitochondrial function--in vitro using percutaneous muscle biopsy and in vivo using 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy-- versus placebo and whether effects differ by age. These findings should establish a framework to evaluate the ability of existing diabetes therapies to preserve muscle and potentially identify new therapeutic targets.
The factors related to accelerated muscle loss in diabetes are poorly understood, despite the growing prevalence of diabetes and increasing recognition of higher disability in this population. Studying the direct relationship of abnormal glucose metabolism with the subsequent loss of muscle mass and strength will give insights into how current diabetes treatments and novel future therapies targeted to underlying pathways can be used to preserve muscle and ultimately improve the health of persons aging with diabetes.

A solid trick using a method that definitely warrents further exploration. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 2nd, 2010
Effect: Spectators are shown two different bottle caps. They are told that through the power of suggestion the magician can hypnotize them into thinking that they are looking at a different cap. To prove the point the magician places one cap in one spectators hand (say Budweiser) and another cap in another spectators hand (say Guinness). Both spectators squeeze their hands so no one can tamper with the caps. The magician counts back from three, snaps his fingers; the spectators open their hands to reveal that the caps have changed places.
Overall thoughts: This is a very refreshing take on a classic transposition. It is also gives you something to do with a bottle cap besides penetrate a bottle. The second I saw the demo video for this I knew I would want it. How often do we see demo videos with a full performance and no camera cuts? Saying I was not disappointed with this effect was an understatement. I was thrilled!
What you get: 8 gimmicks, two of each for the following brands, Guinness, Budweiser, St. Paulie Girl, and Sam Adams. A carrying case that can hold up to 4 gimmicked bottle caps at one time. One fold out pamphlet with instructions on care, handling, two routines, and a description for one more routine idea.
Teaching: The teaching on this one is old school. No DVD, no download, just a fold out pamphlet with all the basics you will need to perform this trick. Other than the usual necessity for good presentation CAPtivated is all about the gimmicks so detailed instructions were not really needed. There is a total of 12 full color, thumbnail sized photos, to help with a few visual references for critical steps and techniques. The pamphlet covers the following topics.
Preparation: What you will need to do with you gimmicks and bottle caps before performance.
Gaffs: How to use your gaffs.
The Switch: A description of how to do the basic effect described above.
Three Cap Monte: A description of how to do a Monte routine using bottle caps.
Tips on Care: Self explanatory
As I said earlier, once you see the gimmicks you will know what to do with them. The teaching was what it needed to be. Nothing to brag about but it was clearly written so no complaints either. I would recommend reading the whole pamphlet even though it might seem unnecessary. He adds a few tips here and there that will make this trick go a little smoother.
Specific Effects:
The Switch: Same effect as described above. Two different caps are placed in the hands of two different spectators. After some presentation the spectators open their hands to show that the caps have changed places. This is the basic switch effect using the CAPtivated gimmicks. It is fairly easy to do and very clean looking. The pamphlet offers a hypnotist style patter but if you watch the promo video he uses a pickpocket style patter. Those are both great ways to present this effect but if you let your imagination flow I am sure you could think of more.
Three Cap Monte: The magician shows three different bottle caps but tells the spectator to follow the one in the middle (lets say its the Guinness). After mixing up the caps the spectator is unable to find the cap. The magician then points out the two odd caps (lets say the Bud and Sam Adams) and says, Dont worry about these two look for the Guinness. After some more mixing the spectator fails to find the Guinness again. This time the magician unveils all three caps showing that all three have changed into St. Paulie Girl caps. This is another nice application for these gimmicks. The handling he describes is a bit trickier that the basic switch but still relatively easy with a bit of practice.
Unnamed Trick Idea: A spectator holds onto a cap (well say Budweiser). Another spectator picks a card from a deck that has many different alcohol brands written on the backs. The card selected says Mikes Hard Lemonade. The spectator with the card waves the card over the hand of the spectator holding the cap. The hand is opened up to reveal that it is now a Mikes Hard Lemonade cap. Lourido doesnt give much in the way of handling instructions for this effect. That said, a basic knowledge of card magic and CAPtivated will make this effect self evident. I really like the idea and it could be used with either blank faced cards or even business cards. Though it is a neat idea I am not much for carrying around a deck of cards that I can only use for a single effect. The best part of including this is to give you a thought springboard that may help some to come up with other ideas on the use of these gimmicks.
Quality of Gimmick: Fantastic! These are great. The CAPtivated gimmicks are bases on a principle that I have thought about on and off for the last few years. I have to hand it to Alex Lourido for coming up with an effect that is perfect for this. The gimmicks are well made and should last a while if well cared for. The design of the gimmicks makes them very easy to handle. This is not a trick that will require lots of practice to master. This leaves you free to work on your presentation. The only problem with the gimmicks is that you will only be able to use them for four different brands of beer. The US version has Budweiser, Guinness, St. Paulie Girl, and Sam Adams. I dont have the Euro version but I believe it keeps the Budweiser and adds Stella Artois, Kingfisher, and London Pride. If anyone has the Euro version please chime in with either a confirmation or a correction.
Quality of Carrying Case: The carrying case is basically a small mint tin. It is just big enough to carry 4 cap gimmicks which should be plenty for a night out performing this. It does its job and it is always nice to have something to help organize and protect your gimmicks.
Difficulty: This is an easy trick. Any one with even the most basic coin sleight skills should be able to perform this with no trouble. The best part about the ease of this effect is that its an effect that centers around BEER! It is nice to have a trick that you can safely perform while tanked.
Applications: This is an obvious trick if you work in bars. It is also a great trick for people who party at bars, BBQs, Weddings, camping trips, Baby showers err well just anyplace you might want to drink beer. One of the best parts of this trick is all the prepatory work you will have to do before you can perform it. He recommends having the following bottle caps, 3 St. Paulie Girls, 1 Budweiser, 1 Samuel Adams, 1 Rolling Rock, and 1 Mikes Hard Lemonade. If you take care of that all in one night lets just say that you will never have more fun practicing a new magic trick. For additional practice I recommend 1 Guinness, 1 Budweiser, and a shot of Laphroaig single malt Islay with a splash of cool water.
Disadvantages: If you are underage dont bother. It would just raise to many eyebrows watching a 14 year old do this. In all seriousness the biggest complaint I have heard about this is the limited numbers of gaffs available. Right now this is a trick that works well in the US and England. The Euro Version is not really Euro. Even for US customers in the west (the land of micro brews) there are some limits. St. Paulie Girl and Sam Adams, while available, just arent that common in the mountain west. Sierra Nevada is a much more popular beer in that area. Ive traveled quite a bit and can confirm two of his choices as perfect. Budweiser and Guinness are common around the world. The next most common brands world wide would likely be Corona and Heineken. Heineken would be problematic but Corona would have been an obvious choice over Sam Adams and St. Paulie Girl. Another minor problem is that Budweiser has a slightly different cap when sold abroad. It is still red but it says Bud, not Budweiser. I doubt spectators will notice this during performance but it is a possibility.
There are a few things that can help to offset these disadvantages. One of which is something Alex Lourido has already done. Listen to customers! Whoa Cool! It was requests from people in England which basically prompted the Euro version of this. In time, if this trick is successful, I hope he continues to produce versions tailored to different parts of the world.
The other thing that could help minimize the disadvantages is to make homemade gaffs. Once you get this trick and know the method it shouldnt be to difficult to recreate these. Indeed I made my own gaffs for two common Korean brands to replace the St. Paulie Girl and the Sam Adams. The quality is certainly no where near the commercially made gaffs they work well enough for the task.
Overall Rating:
I absolutely love this trick. I would recommend it to anyone who drinks beer and does magic. I bought this here at Penguin for $26.00 and felt it was well worth the price. If I had paid the full list price, $35.00, it might be a different story. I think, considering the previously mentioned limitations and the fact that those limitations apply directly to me living abroad, that I might have been mildly satisfied with my purchase. If I was still living stateside $35.00 would be a reasonable price. Fortunately we have Penguin to thank for the low price and if you are living in an area where all four brands are common dont hesitate to snatch this up while supplies last.
10/10 for customers in US, Canada, UK
7/10 for customers in areas that sell Guinness and Bud
5/10 for pimpled faced teenagers whose voices still crack uncontrollably.
The gimmicks are useless here. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 3rd, 2015
Unfortunately, where I live in Australia, the bottle caps are different from those that are available in the USA. For example, the Budweiser cap reads "Bud" not "Budweiser"; the only Sam Adams beer here is a Boston Lager so the cap reads "Samuel Adams Boston Lager" (the latter in white on a bright red background)plus the cap has a red circle around the edge inside a white circle; and the Guinness comes with the extra words "Estd 1759" and "Twist off only". Naturally, there is no such beer as St Pauli Girl for sale here. So unless anyone has a supply of the correct caps they could sell me, I can't see a way to use this trick here.
Hard to get the caps Report this review

Looks good but unfortuantly I am having trouble sourcing the appropriate caps in Australia - if it included the caps I would give it an extra star or two.
I like the idea but looks like I am going to have to make my own gimmicks...
Excellent Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 2nd, 2010
Very clever idea. The props are well-made and will stand up to scrutiny. Despite the simplicity of the handling, the impact of the effects you can pull off are killer. This is the sort of prop a layperson won't anticipate, so their attempts to deconstruct the effects will lead them far down the wrong path.
Obviously these are great routines for a bar or restaurant, since bottlecaps are part of the environment... and these pack so small and are so easy to carry-around, you can always have these on you when heading for a night out. Highly recommended.
Hmmm not sure. Report this review

I like the idea of the effect but I'm not sure that this method (and more importantly these gimmicks) are the best way to achieve the effect. I love Alex's tricks but the problem with most of them is that the gimmicks just aren't good enough and unfortunately thats the case here. That all said though the effect is pretty good and you probably could just about get away with it but you'd need some guts to perform this.

Creating a More Conversational Online Landscape
As you may have read, I am very interested in improving the way we create, distribute and interact with content online &mdash especially pertaining to the content of ideas and concepts. So much of the effort during the blogging and Web2.0 explosion was focused on empowering the individual to create and share content. Just think of YouTube's tagline, Broadcast Yourself. What excites me is that there are a plethora of startups focusing on the facilitation of creating rather than broadcasting of the created.

Nine Inch Nails' Ghosts Album is About MUCH More Than Music.
If you have been reading this blog for even a moderate length of time, you are most likely aware of the unusually high amount of Nine Inch Nails articles on this site (seen here and here to name a few). Considering the general theme of this blog, I could see how this could be seen as strange to many. Still, I tend to write a lot about how digital media (which design-technology intersects with) is changing not only mainstream media, but the society which consumes it – which in turn impacts how we do our work. For the past two years, Nine Inch Nails has really been on the frontlines of pushing media away from the consolidated, copyright-heavy, corporate-run model to a distributed, grassroots, artist-run model.
Last night, Nine Inch Nails released Ghosts I-IV, an independently-produced album that is available for download for the price of $5. There are 36 songs in this album, so that $5 looks even more reasonable than ever. For those of you into the tangible, CDs can be purchased as well. Additionally, 9 songs are available completely for free – no questions asked. While this is distribution model is new, it is not new – we have seen it with In Rainbows and Niggy Tardust, each with their own little tweaks on it. However, make no mistake, Ghosts is unlike any other album distribution we have seen.

Clean Water Through Playing
This is the epitome of good interaction design. There are shining nuggets of work on the internet that create this rare win-win combination, but there are just far too few. reCAPTCHA is one that surfaces – I would love to hear from anyone about other projects/products along these lines. I honestly do think this is where products are headed – all products/services will have some sort of give-back. However, they probably will not be as fun as a merry-go-round.
Creative Payment Model For Indie Film – Big Media Could Learn a Lesson
Things like this get me really excited…
Very few of us enjoy the close-boxed mentality of big media. The whole mindset essentially flies right in the face of how the web works and continues to ignore how society interacts with media. I just ran across an example of how media 2.0 and the internet's open model has seemed to influence an independent film titled Revoloution.
The premise is quite simple – moviegoers can watch the movie for free and then decide how much they wish to pay after they have finished watching it. We all have gone to movies and have felt quite robbed from the experience. Many people do not frequent theaters as often because it is not worth the gamble to spend a sizable chunk of change on something they may not like. Big-business media will almost assuredly never sign onto something like this for various reasons – one being that their product is, well, bad. Hollywood is already losing money, this would just speed up the process. Nonetheless, this model could be a much more beneficial model for aspiring filmmakers to garner an audience and begin to create buzz on a particular piece of work.
I could see a more hybridized version of this type of payment where less is paid up front and a 'tip' is requested after the movie is over. If I only had to pay $4 to $5 to get into a movie, I might just start going to movies again. Additionally, if the movie is decent, I definitely would provide a tip. Of course this model is more risky than the pay-up-front model, but with declining ticket sales, they may want to consider taking a few risks and getting creative. One thing I do know, hiking up the price of tickets is not going to work.
For more details on this experiment, watch the video below:
Much of the media online is free without even the slightest hint of payment. Even for the lucky (and talented) individuals publishing high-quality work exclusively on the web, compensation still is a challenge. However, people are making it and some are doing quite well for themselves. With the rise in popularity of web media with its low overhead and much less profit, big business is going to need to rethink payment models and the content they are willing to spend millions on to produce. (Many) people know crap when they see it – sadly, the majority of all media (internet or not) falls into that category. However, on the web, I do not have to pay $15 or sit through 20 minutes of commercials to see it.
The Sorry State of Online Advertising
Over the next few weeks, I will be writing about online advertising. This article will focus on what is currently wrong with the most common advertising model used online, the second will discuss my opinions on a better alternative and the third will flush out those ideas into pragmatic examples.

Rate per 100,000 of years of potential life lost before age 75
Sum of life-years lost among persons dying before age 75
Persons under age 75
YPLL-75 is calculated using the following eight age groups: under 1 year, 1-14 years, 15-24 years, 25-34 years, 35-44 years, 45-54 years, 55-64 years, and 65-74 years. The number of deaths for each age group is multiplied by years of life lost, calculated as the difference between age 75 years and the midpoint of the age group. For the eight age groups, the midpoints are 0.5, 7.5, 19.5, 29.5, 39.5, 49.5, 59.5, and 69.5 years. For example, the death of a person 15-24 years of age counts as 55.5 years of life lost. Years of potential life lost is derived by summing years of life lost over all age groups.
Estimates based on fewer than 20 deaths are considered unreliable and are not displayed.
YPLL is a summary measure of premature mortality (early death). It represents the total number of years not lived by people who die before reaching a given age. YPLL puts more emphasis on causes of death that are more common at earlier ages, because persons dying at younger ages will have more years subtracted from age 75. Therefore it may underestimate the importance of chronic and other conditions occurring later in life.

AM/FM - the story of London's pirate radio stations
Running a pirate radio station is like the army, but you're still allowed to wear your own clothes and you don't really need to do any exercise.
Short urban exploration documentaries
Uneven Terrain is a series of short documentaries about urban exploration, about 10-15 minutes long each. There are six so far, about monumental ruins in New York, Centralia, the Pennsylvania town where an underground coalseam has been on fire since the 1960s, abandoned missile silos in the US and how they're being turned into homes, oil drilling in Los Angeles, the Teufelberg listening station and the abandoned bunkers under Tempelhof Airport in Berlin and pirate radio in London and on the old Redsand sea forts. Each short doc has a different presenter. All have accompanying photo galleries. [These are produced for the bootmaker Palladium, but it's pretty low-key]
"What are they gonna do, send you to Vietnam?"
[NSFW]"The following program is in living color and has been rated X by the Vietnam academy of maggots. The purpose of this program is to bring vital news, information and hard acid rock to the first termers and non-re-enlistees in the Republic of Vietnam. Radio First Termer operates under no Air Force regulations or manuals. In the event of a vice squad raid this program will automatically self-destruct." Radio First Termer was a pirate radio show broadcast by "Dave Rabbit," an anonymous USAF sergeant, for 63 hours between January 1st and 21st, 1971, out of the back room of a brothel in Saigon, gracing the dial at 69 MHz and 690 AM.>> Fearing reprisal from his superiors, Dave Rabbit then shut Radio First Termer down and, after returning to the States, went back to living a normal life. 34 years later, while helping his son on a homework assignment, Dave came across old recordings of his show. He's since revived his old persona via podcast, and has also brought Radio First Termer back to the warzone--to Baghdad, Iraq. [more inside]
Getting it straight in Notting Hill Gate
Tom Vague's History Walk (PDF downloads) of the Notting Hill district is an evocative roll call of books, films, personalities, restaurants, anecdotes and a timeline strung together to cover the period 1950 to 2005. [whet your appetite inside]
The King and Caroline
Reading up on Sealand's recent fire, I came across Bob Le-Roi's excellent site which covers all manner of information about the English offshore sea forts and various pirate radio squatter groups that utilized them once they were abandoned by HMG -- amazing coverage, really. Lots of candid photos aboard. Warning: 1996-style design.
Pirate Radio

It's official, streaming music is now 14 cents per song
It's official, streaming music is now 14 cents per song and retroactive to 1998. An update to an earlier thread, this new ruling would add $150,000 in monthly royalty fees to live365, and probably kill whatever streaming radio sites are currently out there. Of course broadcasting via AM/FM is half price, so maybe pirate radio stations will grow more popular.
A New Pirate Radio Station Comes to SF
A New Pirate Radio Station Comes to SF Pressure FM is a new pirate radio station in San Francisco. They focus on dance music, but only broadcast from 6pm-Midnight on Fridays using 88.1 FM. This article focuses on the group's plan for the station (dance music), and how they hope to turn it into a 24/7 broadcast. The Bay Area has a rich history of FCC vs. Pirate Radio battles, but I am curious to see if the feds will take on an all music station. Sure, the operators say that, "[Pressure FM] is clandestine, so it's politically charged," but I wonder if the FCC will ignore them as harmless DJs, only to later respond when Clear Channel executives freak out over underground music in the Bay Area finally getting a legitimate, non-internet, outlet. It should be an interesting barometer of the Bush Administration's tolerance for independent broadcasters (political or not).

Being Smart Isn't Always Enough to Make it in America
Via James Pethokoukis, here's an interesting tidbit of income mobility data from a new Brookings report. The chart below is a little tricky to read, but basically it shows how likely you are to make more money than your parents. You'd naturally expect smart kids to do better than dimmer kids, so it tracks that too.
Take a look at the green column on the far left. It's for kids who grow up in the very poorest families. If you have high cognitive ability, you have a 24 percent chance of becoming a high earner as an adult. That's not too bad.
But if you come from a high-income family, you have a 45 percent chance of becoming a high earner as an adult. Same smarts, different outcome.
No society will ever get this perfect. Still, there's a huge difference between 24 percent and 45 percent. Better schools, more extracurricular opportunities, different skin color, bigger networks of connected friends, higher odds of going to college, and the simple ability to get in the door all give richer kids a huge leg up that poor kids don't have. We obviously have a ways to go before everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed in America.

By Corbyn Small
Last night, students piled into the Ellipse Chapel at Point Loma Nazarene University for a night of music, dance, fellowship, and fun celebrating Plant With Purpose's work in Haiti. There was Haitian art sprawled around the room, Creole-style linguine pasta with andouille and chicken, and a traditional drum and dance performance that took the audience on a rhythmic journey from the musical roots of Africa through Cuba and into Haiti. Plant With Purpose's Executive Director, Scott Sabin, also spoke about his experience in Haiti and how Plant With Purpose started its work in Haiti more than 12 years ago. The overall tone of Scott's message was that hope exists with in Haiti, that the people are some of the strongest in the world, and we mustn't discount Haiti because it is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere
Through the years Plant With Purpose and Point Loma Nazarene University have built a strong relationship with one another, and the evening highlighted the growth that both groups have experienced over the last five or six years. Thank you to PLNU for years of the highest quality interns, devoted volunteers, and financial support of our international work.
As an alumnus of PLNU and as the current outreach coordinator at Plant With Purpose, I was proud to be the one to introduce the newest accomplishments and efforts of Plant With Purpose. Advocating on behalf of PWP has never been easier, using social networks like Facebook and Twitter give every individual the opportunity to use their voice to share the story of Plant With Purpose and its sustainable programs in Haiti and around the world. Just as I invited the students and faculty last night, I invite you to join us in the storytelling: use the tools on PlantWithPurpose.org, share our video with your friends and family, tell those 200+ friends you have on Facebook that you love what Plant With Purpose is doing and want them to be involved too! We can't do it without you! Facebook Fan Page

Rihanna and Chris Brown are hugging it out.
The singer posted a photo of herself and Brown on Instagram Thursday night.
PLAY IT NOW: Rihanna Discusses Paparazzi & Acting
"I don't wanna leave! Killed it tonight baby!" she wrote on the photo's caption, which has her wrapped around Brown, whose face is hidden. Brown's distinctive tattoos can be clearly seen in the photo, which also has Rihanna in skimpy white shorts.
(See the latest photo, HERE!)

The latest photo comes on the heels of another photo Rihanna posted of what appeared to be Brown in a bed shirtless (with his face hidden) over the weekend with the "Diamonds" singer.
(See the first photo of Brown in bed shirtless, HERE!)
During a Facebook live chat earlier this month Rihanna was asked if she was dating Brown, to which she denied and said, "He's kinda all right."

Acer Iconia A1-810 Android tablet
The Acer Iconia A1-810 is a low-cost, 7.9in Android tablet that offers good value for money
- Reasonable performance
- Good value for money
- microSD card slot
- Below average screen
- Thick design
- No 3G or 4G model in Australia
Bottom Line
The Acer Iconia A1-810 is a low-cost, 7.9in Android tablet that shares many similarities to the Apple iPad mini. There's a few compromises including a below average screen and a thick design, but the Iconia A1 performs reasonably well overall and provides good value for money.
Price$ 249.00 (AUD)
Google's Nexus 7 proved it was possible to produce a desirable Android tablet at a competitive price. Acer is aiming to do exactly that with the Iconia A1-810, a low-cost, 7.9in Android tablet that shares many similarities to the Apple iPad mini. There's a few compromises including a below average screen and a thick design, but the Iconia A1 performs reasonably well overall and provides good value for money.
A compact but thick tablet
The Iconia A1-810 is thicker and heavier than the iPad mini.
The Acer Iconia A1-810 will immediately be classified as a direct competitor to Apple's iPad mini because it has the same sized 7.9in screen. However, Acer's design is less appealing. The Iconia A1-810 is both thicker and heavier than the iPad mini and it's also larger in size, too. The difference comes down to the bezel surrounding the display which is significantly wider than the mini.
This thicker bezel makes for a wider and taller tablet overall and means the Iconia A1-810 isn't as comfortable to hold and use single-handedly as many competitors. The extra weight (410g) also contributes negatively here, so the A1 isn't always comfortable to hold.
The matte finish on the back isn't slippery and is easy to grip.
There are plenty of positive aspects of the Iconia A1-810's design, however. A right-mounted microSD card slot means users can expand the internal memory if they wish, something you can't do on any iPad. There's also a micro HDMI port on the same side that allows users to connect the A1-810 to a high definition TV. The ability to do so without the need for an extra adapter is always a plus.
Build quality is reasonable. The A1-810 is constructed almost entirely from plastic but the white, matte finish on the back isn't slippery to hold and is therefore easy to grip. The slightly curved edges are also a plus and don't dig into your palms. The top-mounted power/lock button and the volume rocker on the right side are also well positioned and provide good tactility. A standard 3.5mm headphone jack and a micro-USB port for charging are located at the bottom, oddly positioned towards the right side.
The Acer Iconia A1-810's screen is an LED-backlit IPS panel with a resolution of 1024x768, the same as the iPad mini. Although the display does a reasonable job for most tasks, the quality of the screen is less than stellar. Colours appear dull, viewing angles are mediocre, and the screen is almost unusable in direct sunlight.
These issues are magnified by the fact that there's also no ambient light sensor, so there's no automatic brightness option available. Even when set to the maximum brightness level, the Iconia A1-810's display isn't as bright as most alternatives we've reviewed.
A largely vanilla Android experience
The look and feel is very similar to using a Nexus 7.
One of the best features of the Acer Iconia A1-810 is the fact that it runs a fairly standard looking 4.2 Jelly Bean version of Google's Android operating system. Acer has made a few slight changes to the interface but the look and feel is very similar to using a Nexus 7.
There's five home screens for widgets and app shortcuts, the standard app drawer and the traditional Android notifications pull down. Swiping down from the top right of the screen opens Android's handy toggles which include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Airplane mode, brightness, screen timeout and auto rotate, along with a direct shortcut to the settings menu.
The five-finger gesture is a little awkward but we made regular use of the two-thumb gesture.
One function that you won't find on the stock version of Android is Acer's 'Touch WakeApp' feature. Pressing five fingers onto the screen when it is off unlocks the screen and opens an app of your choice, and tapping both thumbs on the screen will again unlock it and launch another app of your choice. The five-finger gesture is a little awkward but we made regular use of the two-thumb gesture. It can be set to open to the home screen or any app, though it will only work in portrait orientation and it does take a second or two to register which can be annoying.
The Acer Iconia A1-810 comes with some extra apps over what Google provides by default. These include Astro File Manager, the AcerCloud storage app, Zinio and Acer's Life Image, a photo journal app. WildTangent Games is also worth a look if you plan to regularly play games. However, other pre-loaded apps such as 7digital, Accuweather and McAfee Security add little to the overall package and should be quickly uninstalled.
Performance on the Iconia A1-810 is acceptable but not outstanding. The 1.2GHz quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM is good enough for most basic tasks, but some graphically intense games, like Shadowgun and Dead Trigger, do struggle occasionally with frame rate lag and loading times. These games are definitely playable, provided you don't expect super fast performance.
Poor cameras, decent battery life
Both cameras are ordinary, particularly the rear snapper.
The Acer Iconia A1-810 has a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera that captures full HD 1080p video at 30fps, and a front facing VGA camera that handles video calls. Both cameras are ordinary, particularly the rear snapper. It captures photos that suffer from high levels of image noise, poor colour reproduction and a general lack of fine detail. It's also a fixed focus lens, so macro shots aren't possible.
The Acer is a Wi-Fi only tablet and although 3G and 4G models are available in overseas markets, Acer will not sell them in Australia. The model sold in Australia has 16GB of internal memory.
The built-in speaker produces very poor quality sound.
The Iconia A1-810's built-in speaker may be well positioned but it produces very poor quality sound. The speaker sits on the back of the tablet, so the sound is muffled when the device is sitting on a desk or table. Even when not covered, the volume is low at its highest setting, sound distorts at high levels and there's a clear lack of bass.
Acer claims the Iconia A1-810 has a "minimum seven hour battery life", though it lists up to 8.95 hours for streaming video on YouTube and up to 9.56 hours when watching a video from the 16GB of internal memory. We found the 4960mAh battery performed a little less than advertised. We managed around seven and a half hours of regular use, which is almost two hours less than we achieved on the iPad mini.
The Acer A1-810 is available now for $249 through Acer's online store and through selected Australian retailers.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
