Thomas Fung's fantastical new movie script goes something like this.
A kung-fu actress is brought to Hollywood from mainland China so she can party with directors and producers at a riverside mansion. At the same time, a boxer from the Bronx is working there as a caterer, ferrying supplies in a boat from a luxurious house across the river. Bored, she flees with him to the other side.
Chased by security guards, they take shelter in a private jet on the property, and eventually take off. They crash on a desert island, and as the two navigate their cultural differences, hijinks ensue – including battling a crocodile.
"It's a love story with kung-fu and boxing," said a gleeful Mr. Fung, the founder of the Fairchild Group, over a bowl of Taiwanese beef noodle soup at Chef Hung's in the Aberdeen Centre in Richmond, B.C.
If the plot sounds a bit unbelievable, consider that almost everything Mr. Fung attempted in his career seemed far-fetched in the beginning before it paid off. Now he is worth about $400-million, not including his real estate holdings.
It's thanks to the transpacific empire that is the Fairchild Group, a conglomerate he built to span Chinese-language media, international partnerships and global retail franchises, real estate interests, a pâtisserie chain, a flight school, and import and e-commerce businesses.
Born in Hong Kong and now based in Vancouver, Mr. Fung has become a uniquely Canadian success story. He acts as a cultural liaison for other executives on his travels through Asia. Business is the pursuit of long-standing passions like his new script, which he is working on with a Chinese director.
"He's a small businessman on a huge scale," says Michael Francis, a businessman and chair emeritus of the Vancouver Film Festival. "He's as interested in trying it in Richmond as Hong Kong or Beijing."
It was Mr. Fung who, while in Taipei, tasted Chef Hung's and became convinced it would be a global success. He's opened several restaurants in Vancouver and is now building locations in China on a seven-year plan to eventually take the noodle restaurant public. He also wants to (eventually) have a public offering for his high-end pâtisserie chain, which is expanding as Aime in China and as St. Germain in Vancouver. It has contracts with airlines' first-class service out of Vancouver and various hotels in Richmond.
Mr. Fung started Chef Hung's at the Aberdeen Centre, a pioneering Asian mall he built (and then destroyed and rebuilt) in Richmond, just outside of Vancouver, a community he has helped transform since the late 1980s. The mall has dumpling shops, a branch of the popular Japanese izakaya (casual after-work bar) Guu, Hong Kong fashion brands and a hugely popular "100 Yen" discount retailer called Daiso. It has become a laboratory of sorts for his new ventures – he said he owns 15 per cent of the mall's 200 stores – and lures locals (Richmond is roughly 50 per cent Chinese) as well as tourists from Korea, China and Japan.
When Mr. Fung first tried to get tenants in the 1980s, he placed ads in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles and Toronto, hoping for tenants to be part of his ambitious project – the first multicultural mall in North America, he says. Six months passed, but he heard nothing.
"They were not interested in Vancouver," says Mr. Fung. "They thought we were a small town."
But Mr. Fung – whose father arrived in Hong Kong after fleeing the mainland and then dabbled in foreign exchange before founding a merchant bank and making a fortune – correctly predicted the large influx of Hong Kong residents who would land in Vancouver and Richmond in the tense years before the handover of the city-state from Britain back to China.
"I said, sooner or later they will come," Mr. Fung says. "And that will be an opportunity for business."
But no brands wanted to take the risk along with him. He offered tenants 51-per-cent stakes, with the ability to walk away if the venture failed, or to buy back his stake – with no interest – if it succeeded. He did the legwork: hiring, renovations, operation. The Aberdeen Centre was a success, and tenants bought into Mr. Fung's dream. Western brands have so far "shied away," although Mercedes is opening up.
In the early 1990s, Mr. Fung bought two money-losing Chinese-language broadcasters and began building out Fairchild's media assets – which includes Mandarin and Cantonese radio stations, two TV networks, and a lifestyle magazine. He said owning media would create synergies with his retail and real estate holdings. And it has worked – so much so that one opponent in a regulatory hearing in 2009 said Mr. Fung might end up with a "monopoly" in Chinese-language broadcasting, and that Fairchild's news reports make "favourable comments with regard to (Fairchild's) businesses and does not remain neutral."
Gabriel Yiu, a Hong Kong-born activist who once ran for the provincial NDP, said Mr. Fung is a "pioneer," whose mall was a "big factor in turning Richmond into the most Chinese city outside Asia," although it has also contributed to the decline of Vancouver's Chinatown.
Mr. Fung, who says he slept in stairwells as his father toiled at odd jobs in the godowns of Hong Kong harbour, says his journalists occasionally show a bit of bias against mainland China in their reports. This, he says, reflects anti-mainland views held by many ordinary Hong Kong citizens, and many Hong Kong-born people in Vancouver – but which are not generally held by members of the more "pragamatic," trans-Pacific business class, like himself.
It seems Mr. Fung earnestly wants to achieve much broader appeal. He wants his mall to be a "cosmopolitan" and "Asian/Western" establishment, but is effectively tied to Chinese by broadcast licences that prevent him from producing anything of substance in English or French. To find a challenge, he is now pushing deeper into China, pursuing his passions and philanthropy – and preparing his son Joseph to take over the business.
"At my stage, I don't really push for any projects," said Mr. Fung, who is 63. "It's more for my son."
His friends aren't too sure.
"I don't think he'll pass it on nearly as quickly as he thinks he will," Mr. Francis said. "He loves his life."Report Typo/Error

The DryCupboard™ dish-draining cupboard program allows you to turn a normal cabinet in your kitchen into an elegant space-saving solution.
Just wash your dishes normally (whether by hand or in the machine), then skip the step of drying them: put them directly away in your new draining cupboard above your sink. The dishes dry on their own inside the cupboard. When they finish drying, they're already put away! The draining cupboard looks exactly like all your other cabinets when it's closed, concealing its secret innovation and the dishes it is drying.
Our easy do-it-yourself program provides simple step-by-step instructions on how to build your own dish-draining cupboard. Whether you'd like to modify an existing cupboard or build a new cabinet dish drainer to your own specifications, with the DryCupboard™ DIY program, you'll have an impressive, elegant solution that will save you time and counter space.
On two DVDs, we provide videos of friendly professionals guiding you through the process of making your own dish-drainer cabinet. Converting one of your existing cupboards is a snap, and our approach is so simple and straightforward that there's no experience required on your part. In addition to the two DVDs, you'll get a written instruction guide to get you started as quickly as possible, as well as additional information about the history of dish-draining cupboards.
We stand behind our program with a 90-day 100% satisfaction guarantee. If it's not as easy as we say, or if you aren't completely satisfied with the time-saving power of your dish-draining cupboard, we'll give you your money back.
Designed in Finland in the 1940s, the dish-draining cupboard was invented by Maiju Gebhard for the Finnish Association for Work Efficiency. They calculated that the average housewife spent over 30,000 hours of her life drying dishes. Using the dish-draining cupboard eliminates the need for that entire process, and today almost every kitchen in Finland has one.
Dish-draining cupboards (also called "dish draining closets") have spread throughout mainland Europe and are now also found all over the UK and Ireland — but they're impossible to find here in North America. That's where we come in. Order our DIY program to restore order to your kitchen, save time and impress your friends.
How it works:
By making a few simple modifications to one of your normal dish cabinets, we show you how to make an innovative, green improvement to your kitchen. And by using less electricity in the washing and drying process, you'll be saving money and helping the environment, too.
Your new dish-draining cupboard will work by letting the dishes drip-dry after putting them away, out of sight. In European homes, this cupboard is usually located above the kitchen sink, which allows the dishes to drip directly into the sink. But you probably have a window above your sink instead.
Not to worry; we have a special innovation to take care of just this issue, and we promise your kitchen will look just as good as ever. Actually better yet, because it won't have the clutter of all those dishes drying out in the open!

AWD Cars + ex-Mill's Fleet Farm
Here's the follow-up to the tease about a used car dealership in south Rochester from a while back:
After Friday's slippery snowstorm, Fran Fox feels he is steering his Rochester auto sales lot in the right direction.
Fox is revving up a used vehicle dealership called AWD Cars to open in a new auto mall project being developed in part of the former Mill's Fleet Farm building along south U.S. 63.
AWD stands for All-Wheel Drive, which is the only type of late model cars and trucks it will sell.
"I felt like I needed a niche. With all of the snow and ice around here, I always see people sliding around in it," said Fox, before Friday's 4-inch snowfall in Rochester. "It think it is important. I firmly believe Minnesota winters mandate AWD or four-wheel drive."
He plans on having the first vehicles on the lot this week with plans to ramp up the inventory throughout the winter.
AWD is located in the north end of the former Fleet Farm. Tom Hexum of Hexum Cos. is developing that section of the complex into an auto mart to house a variety of vehicle-related businesses.
Fox, who owns Pine Island Auto Glass in Pine Island, plans to have a major online presence for his new business that will include "virtual" test drives on the Web.
He plans on driving vehicles with a camera in the back seat recording while he comments on the vehicle's features."We will be Tweeting, blogging, chatting and Facebooking away," he says.

Welcome to my website
Dear Friends,
As you will all know by now, I have decided not to stand for Saanich Council in this year's municipal election. Many factors influenced my decision and in the forefront is that all eight incumbents are seeking another term. Many people including myself believe that is not a good thing for Saanich. For many years the style of governance has remained the same and this is not indicative of a healthy council. We have seen significant issues which are defining how Saanich and the region is being governed and we need to move in a new direction.
One issue above all others stands out and bears serious consideration. In early October, Mayor Leonard and Council decided that it would be a good idea to place a non-binding question (normally called a plebiscite) on the ballot on November 15th. The question is
"Do you support Council initiating a community-based review of the governance structure and policies within Saanich and our partnerships within the Region?"
The question was designed to focus on Saanich first. All councilors were involved in crafting the question seemingly as a result of public pressure to have some sort of governance question on the ballot this year. Some of Saanich Council indicated it was an opportunity to "educate residents" about how things are done now. Some said there was no limit to what can be discussed, while others suggested a regional lens should be used. All council agreed that it was timely to be having this conversation with the community. Was this only for public consumption? All council seemed to believe that it is a foregone conclusion that the question will be answered YES by a majority in Saanich. I would argue, even if it is a no, this conversation about governance still needs to be a priority.
The most interesting comment came from the Mayor of Saanich when he said "if the question is supported, it will be owned by the community." I wonder what exactly he meant my "owned by the community"?
If it is truly going to be owned by the community that ownership must start with the process to be designed in order to create the opportunity for all residents of Saanich to participate. We could begin with engaging each community association, perhaps through the Saanich Community Association Network. As the president of the Gorge Tillicum Community Association, I have been attending SCAN meetings for some time. This group is clearly interested in sharing information and learning about specific issues. However, it is not now nor will be an advocacy group. That is fundamental as this group cannot act as a shadow cabinet to Saanich Council. What SCAN is able to do is make sure the community associations in Saanich are fully informed. Therefore, I would propose a committee of SCAN be created to work on the review of our governance structure and policies in Saanich and our partnerships within the Region. I would be happy to volunteer to chair such committee.
My focus will always be on building community and I believe strongly in building partnerships through collaboration and engagement. I believe Saanich needs a new governance mandate and we need to bring together experienced leaders in the community like myself who will continue to advocate for strengthening relationships with the newly elected Council.
When this campaign began I started a series of neighbourhood walkabouts. This is one of the first ones in the Cadboro Bay Community.
It is still time to act on:
Transportation and Land Use
Maintaining and Enhancing the Unique Character of our Neighbourhoods
Affordable and Accessible Housing
Preserving Green Space and Agricultural Land
Public Engagement and Accountability of Local Government

AUTO for the win....lol...
Small comment on this piece. C&L meters with replaceable sample tubes don't have a good reputation. I've not heard of many (if any) problems with their hard castings that simply re-clocking the meter wouldn't fix. Their meter housings that use the Ford electronics seem to do very well. They don't always hit the target EXACTLY as far as transfer function goes, but their results are very consistent and repeatable. For anyone that tunes digitally, being consistent is the key. The actual transfer function is much less important when tuning by AFR.
lol yes definitely at the dragstrip anywhere else hell NO i need a clutch!
I'm a die hard manual transmission guy, so I won't comment on these auto posts .
With that said, your rev limiter means nothing in this scenario, you are well past that RPM and there's nothing it can do.
I did this same thing years ago. No damage done. My brother did it at the track and did some damage to the transmission, motor was fine.
I'm in the no power shifting on the street camp, I rarely if ever do it. At the track is another story, I rarely if ever don't do it!
Its fun John in a full manual VB turbo car trust me....im shifting just no clutch...
no i hear ya thats a nice ride ya got im just a manual with clutch guy to the end
Driven fast auto cars and stick shift cars (figure high 9 second cars of both). A fast auto is a lot of fun, a fast stick shift car is a lot more fun! To each his own though, some prefer consistency, some prefer the unpredictable...
Iv'e always heard real men have 3 pedals! True or not besides consistency what do you have with a auto besides a boring predictable ride?
Here is the cruising vid.. Not race vid!

Nope never raced.. I see him every day at work but he dont bring it up anymore.. He used to go all the time to were we hang out. But I havent seen him there lately.

But Alesha Dixon need not lose too much sleep, as the pretender to the throne is a Western gorilla called Damsi.
Visitors to Paignton Zoo say Damsi's energetic jigs rival the drumming ability of a fake gorilla featured in a recent television advert.
"It happens without warning and is very quick and dramatic," zoo spokesman Phil Knowling said.
The picture of the dancing gorilla was taken by a visitor to the zoo.
Mr Knowling said the primates communicate with each other using various sounds, including grunts, rumbles, coughs, barks and chest beats.
"Visitors are always impressed to see gorillas beating their chests and the sound carries, so you hear it from elsewhere in the zoo," he said.
"He's pretty nifty on his feet but I don't think he'll be entering Strictly Come Dancing."

www.medecision.com – The economic stimulus package that President Obama has signed contains upwards of $20 billion to create electronic health records for most Americans within five years. The president has been very outspoken in his belief that EHRs are essential to health care reform and that the subsequent savings they'll generate will help to strengthen the larger overall economy.
Whenever the subject of proliferating EHRs catches the national spotlight, you can bet that debates about privacy aren't far behind. Indeed the privacy issue has already started to gain some traction in the media.
I suspect the privacy issue is going to reach a crescendo in the coming months, and it's very important that Americans have all of the facts. There are unfortunately people in the world who are going to try to illegally obtain and misuse private health information. But that doesn't mean we should just write off EHRs as a bad idea. We simply need to be vigilant and proactive in incorporating the highest security measures into the planning process — which the president has done. To borrow an analogy from a close colleague: we don't stop building roads because some people drive drunk. We punish the drunk drivers and continue building roads because of the tremendous benefits they bring to the rest of our law-abiding society. There is too much at stake for the health care system and the nation's economy to allow over-dramatized and misperceived weaknesses in EHR security to thwart progress.
Additionally, to make the privacy debate a fair one we must ask what's more dangerous: the potential misuse of information or simply not using information at all? Should we put the privacy of an overwhelming minority of people ahead of safer, more efficient, more affordable and potentially life-saving health care for the overwhelming majority? In reality, the only people who stand to be harmed by an unlikelyEMR privacy breach are celebrities and other high profile individuals. Even if someone were to gain access to the average person's health information, there isn't much they could do with it, other than cause that person some personal embarrassment. In a very real sense, the question then becomes whether we value the privacy of information more than its potential to help us lead healthier lives.
Without question we must make ensuring privacy a top priority in any plans to implement EHRs. I'm confident that the Obama plan does so and, in fact, I think we'll see even stronger controls than we may have previously imagined. No EHR is going to come with guaranteed safety, but I would argue that the risk level is the same or less than that associated with online retail and banking transactions. The public needs to understand this. It is up to those of us in the industry to ensure that the facts are clear and readily available. Hopefully the media will choose to report all of them so that Americans can form opinions based on complete information.

UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) New York Islanders defenseman Radek Martinek will be out four to six weeks because of an upper-body injury sustained during a game last weekend, the club said Tuesday.
Martinek was knocked out of the Islanders' home opener in the first period Saturday night after he absorbed a hard hit behind the net. He was evaluated by doctors that night and didn't play in New York's 7-1 loss to Buffalo on Monday.
The Islanders revealed the length of time Martinek is expected to miss, but declined to provide specific information about the injury.
Martinek was skating along the end boards behind the New York goal and crumpled after being crunched by St. Louis center David Backes with 3:10 left in the period. He remained down on the ice for a few moments before skating without assistance toward the tunnel to the dressing room.
It is the latest injury to the Islanders' already banged-up defense. Just three games into the season, New York is also missing Andy Sutton (hand surgery) and Chris Campoli (shoulder). Both are expected to be sidelined for several weeks.
The Islanders also sent down 22-year-old forward Blake Comeau to Bridgeport of the AHL on Tuesday. Comeau, who had eight goals and seven assists as a rookie in 57 games last season with the Islanders, didn't dress for any of New York's regular-season games this season.
He had no points in three games with the Islanders during the 2006-07 season after making his NHL debut.

San Francisco (AFP) Feb 20, 2014
Google announced a new research project Thursday aimed at bringing 3D technology to smartphones, for potential applications such as indoor mapping, gaming and helping blind people navigate.
The California tech giant said its "Project Tango" would provide prototypes of its new smartphone to outside developers to encourage the writing of new applications.
Project leader Johnny Lee said the goal of the project, which incorporates robotics and vision-processing technology, is "to give mobile devices a human-scale understanding of space and motion."
"What if you could capture the dimensions of your home simply by walking around with your phone before you went furniture shopping?" Google said on its Project Tango web page.
"What if directions to a new location didn't stop at the street address? What if you never again found yourself lost in a new building? What if the visually impaired could navigate unassisted in unfamiliar indoor places? What if you could search for a product and see where the exact shelf is located in a super-store?"
The technology could also be used for "playing hide-and-seek in your house with your favorite game character, or transforming the hallways into a tree-lined path."
Smartphones are equipped with sensors which make over 1.4 million measurements per second, updating the positon and rotation of the phone.
Partners in the project include researchers from the University of Minnesota, George Washington University, German tech firm Bosch and the Open Source Robotics Foundation, among others.
Another partner is California-based Movidius, which makes vision-processor technology for mobile and portable devices and will provide the processor platform.
Movidius said in a statement the goal was "to mirror human vision with a newfound level of depth, clarity and realism on mobile and portable connected devices."
"Google has paved the future direction for smart mobile vision systems and we're excited to be working with a company that shares our vision to usher in the next wave of applications that fundamentally alter how a mobile device is used to experience the world around us," said Remi El-Ouazzane, chief executive of Movidius.
"Project Tango is truly a groundbreaking platform and we look forward to seeing the innovation the developer community achieves," he added.

Shenzhen, China (SPX) Jan 27, 2014
China-Lal Teer Livestock Limited, an associate of LalTeer Seed, and BGI, have jointly announced that they have completed the genome sequencing of water buffalo and the bioinformatics analysis. The outstanding work lays an important foundation for molecular breeding of water buffalo, and sheds new light on the understanding of its origin and domestication process.
Buffalo is known as "Black Gold" due to its contribution to economy, which is being reared as milk, meat, hide and bone sources all over the world. In particular, it could provide more than 5% of the world's milk supply and 20% to 30% of the farm power in Southeast Asia.
Considering the importance of buffalo and realizing the need of genomic research for its improvement, Lal Teer Livestock took a great effort for "The Whole Genome Sequencing of Water Buffalo" in collaboration with BGI since March 2012.
The joint efforts yielded a high-quality water buffalo genome with the size of about 2.77Gb, slightly smaller than human genome. There are 21,550 protein coding genes found in total. Researchers compared buffalo genome with other mammals', such as cattle, horse, panda, pig, and dog for discovering more genetic characteristics of water buffalo and providing guidance for its breeding and industrial transformation.
"We are pleased to form partnership with Lal Teer Livestock to decode this important animal, " said, Professor Jian Wang, President of BGI, "BGI is dedicated to using genomics technology to benefit human beings, and we have contributed to the sequencing of many critical crops and livestock including rice, maize, soybean, potato, pigeonpea, pig and sheep. BGI is continuing to make more progress for facing the challenges on food shortage and safety, as well contribute to the development and wellbeing of local society."
"With the joined forces with BGI, we are excited to successfully complete the task of sequencing water buffalo." stated Mr. Tafsir Mohammed Awal, Director of Lal Teer, "This will now lay the foundation of ensuring nutrition and food security in Bangladesh and other developing countries."

A lot of the audio in that video sounds a tad off; it could be a funny mic or the acoustics of the elevator car, but I think it's probably dynamic compression to remove background noise from NB, which I understand to be a rather tedious process if one does it carefully. ĀThen again, it's what production crews get paid for. ĀCareful micing would make a difference, too: the maker faire segments sound really great and natural, so they might have just left the right microphone at home.

I think it's really important to help production folks understand the environment they're stepping into.

When I was in high school, having a job was far from a priority. But when I wanted one, I didn't have too much trouble finding one.
Generally, I picked up a few hours of paid work during the dog days of summer but filled my nights during the school year with things that have become pretty standard for today's teens: AP homework, sports practices, extracurricular activities.
And while I was lucky enough that my decision to work at all was motivated by a desire to have enough extra cash to catch a movie with friends or stash some away in my savings without really knowing what I was saving for, in hindsight I can't overlook or overemphasize the value of those summers.
That's because I was doing much more than just taking care of a four-year-old, folding clothes at Aeropostale or working at a family business on Main Street. I also gained general work skills that so many teenagers are missing out on because nowadays, finding those same simple jobs is far from an easy task.
Today, the number of unemployed teens remains near historic highs. Numbers were already on the rise heading into the Great Recession — possibly thanks to increased pressures in the classroom. But youth joblessness spiked as the financial crisis hit and has remained strikingly high in its aftermath.
More than 23% of youth[1] aged 16 to 19 are unemployed — a number that doesn't even include all the teens that have given up looking for work altogether. And since the downturn began, more than 2.7 million people aged 16 to 24 have lost or been unable to find jobs.
One reason for this is that young workers tend to be the first fired and last hired. Now especially, they are being squeezed out of the workforce by adults who are taking paychecks wherever they can find them and working at the low-wage positions once snatched by teens during summers or after-school shifts.
Two statistics paint this reality well. About 58% of jobs created in the recovery[2] have been low-wage jobs. At the same time, 58% of available jobs[3] have been taken by workers age 55 and up, thanks to their added experience. Those hires, who are often overqualified by decades, are getting these jobs, of course, over young workers with little or no qualifications.
That in turn gives teens little or no chance to build basic qualifications of their own. I, for one, learned how to interact with adults, how to be on time and manage my time, how to budget and save money and, all-in-all, how to be a part of that thing they call "the real world," thanks to my few summers of employment. Those summers then helped me get an internship during college and a job right after.
Today's teenagers thus face a catch-22 of sorts: no skills to qualify them for jobs, and no jobs available to give them basic skills.
Of course, the recession can't be scapegoated completely. Once again, the increased pressures of school mean many teenagers choose to spend their evenings bolstering their resumes for upcoming college applications instead of clocking in and clocking out. And that trend has even spread to the summer months, with camps and other college-geared activities.
That still seems to be a double whammy, though. Even once that hard work pays off and students make their way to and through college, they're often rewarded by record amounts of student debt and just as bleak of a job outlook.
Plus, around 44% of teens who do want summer jobs are still unable to find them[4] or have to work fewer hours than they'd like. And again, they're not just missing out on that extra paycheck, but also on the building blocks of being a successful employee down the road.
In the end, it's a tough environment all around for today's youth. And while I had no idea that my odd, summer jobs were so valuable as I was working them, I see it now.
And I also see that, looking back, they were actually a luxury. Sometimes all it takes is one little recession to turn a mere few years ago into the good ol' days.

They screwed up so bad in Katrina that they bought their way out of it. They were basically locked in the Super Dome. Some well alot were raped and murdered in there. Also flooding to the roof tops was more dramatic. They were not warned. You guys were warned lots. Not saying it fair.

Just chill out and wait, you're not the only one.
Plus idk why your expecting help from FEMA of all agencies...they don't give a shit about the people.

My heart goes out to those suffering in NY now. Staten Island was ravaged by what appears to be an epic tsunami surge well beyond the 6 to 12 ft forecasted. The fires that raged in Rockaway are a tremendous tragedy, and the lack of meaningful response to these two areas is horrifying.

well i just called fema and asked some questions....Quoting: fuck the government 26867127
why were katrina victims given $2000 debit cards after the storm but there is 0 financial aid being given to us? they said it was a different type of disaster or some bs ... i said how so the guy was just like i dont make the rules dc does...
i asked if it was because those people were black and poor and were crying that they weren't getting aid because they were black?
i asked what about all the fema trailers that they have and why weren't they up here ?? the guy just said he didnt know and they might be coming up here and referred me to a disaster center in my county
i asked how come katrina victims were given food clothing shelter and all that cash and we have none of that available and he said it was a different kind of disaster and when i asked how come he didnt have an answer and i heard a supervisor or someone pickup and start listening in on the call
he basically had no answers other then i might get rental assistance but no clue as to when the inspector would call me just to sit by my phone and wait
then to top it off after i was saying all this and how it sounded racist against white people he pretends he cant hear me when i can hear him as clear as day and had plenty of signal on my phone and hangs up
so basically katrina victims who were mostly all black got 2000 cash ... food stamps/vouchers trailers and housing and clothing diapers etc etc and us white people up here who paid for all those nice things are getting ...ummmmm.... well we can go stay on a used cot in a local shelter for a while and wait for fema to call us
also was told none of that type of assistance would be made available to us and any financial aid and food stamp type aid or anything like that would have to go through the state not fema that fema is only covering property damages
also i am not a racist i have nothing against blacks or what they were given just wondering why we who are mostly all white are getting jack shit
also im not looking for a handout they are not letting me go back to work so therefor i need financial aid which there is none available
George Bush was President then. For all his sins, I do think he was kind at heart and cared. Things that he has done under the radar speaks volumes. Like visiting the Fort Hood victims in the hospital. Never heard about that probably.
Obama on the other hand. Does not care if it does not promote Obama. He is there for the photo op.As for Fort Hood, Obama never darkened a door.
Bush flew over the Katrina disaster area. He surveyed the damage. He did not land to take valuable rescue assistance from areas that needed help to protect him. He did not make it about him.
Obama showed up after Sandy to campaign. It was ALL about him.
Democrats can say what they will about Bush being a Republican. And Obama can blame Bush for the fall of Lucifer. But of the 2. Bush is the better man.

You never hear about the people that were displaced where they shipped them after.
I lost my apartment...because the landlord wanted to raise the rent and get the section 8 money. My shithole was $700 a month, and I was given the chance to stay for a rent increase to $1850, and Texas residents could not use section 8 vouchers.
I lost my job...because they had to hire so many Katrina victims. (I wasn't fired, just taken off the schedule so I couldn't get unemployment either.)
Crime went up in my neighborhood.
Several hotels were condemned after they left, due to damage.
Of course, I moved to a place that I got kicked out of for the Cowboy's stadium, but that's a different rant.

Return-Path-Data Lexicon: Viewing in the Buffer
by Jane Clarke on May 31, 4:54 PM
With the advent of trick play capabilities, viewers can avail themselves of a variety of time-delayed viewing opportunities. Past columns on live and time-shifted viewing focused on the two best known forms of video content consumption. Today we explore a third type of viewing behavior that is made possible because of the DVR: "Viewing in the Buffer."

The World Of 'Veep'
by Gary Holmes on May 29, 1:24 PM
Does "Veep," the HBO comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a hapless vice president of the U.S., have anything to tell us about contemporary politics? I guess it depends on how cynical you are, since the show presents a political culture in which back-stabbing, ambition, and hard-fought compromises are put solely to the service of image, windrow-dressing and trivia.

'American Idol,' 'Dancing With The Stars' Still The Reality Giants To Beat
by Ed Martin on May 25, 2:28 PM
Much has been said these last few months about the precipitous ratings slide Fox's "American Idol" suffered this year, and the recent decline of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." If you accept current audience measurement systems as accurate they would indicate that both shows suffered double-digit drops, with "Idol'"s loss coming in as high as 25%. To which I say, "So what?"

New View On Viewers: Maybe Distractions Aren't Such A Bad Thing, After All
by Gabe Samuels on May 23, 4:49 PM
It is no secret that television viewing is not done in a vacuum and that viewers are distracted by the environment from paying 100% attention to television program. Past findings by media researchers, going back a half a century, have made this an indisputable fact. Therefore, media buyers and sellers accepted the fact that the ratings as provided by Nielsen and (former TV audience researcher) Arbitron and others have over-stated the true dimension of the TV audience.

Return-Path-Data Lexicon: Viewing Versus Tuning
by Jane Clarke on May 23, 7:51 AM
Because of the unique attributes of the RPD environment, considerable care is taken to correctly define STB activity as it pertains to media consumption. Let's take for example "tuning" vs "viewing" behavior. The first implies passivity. Just because a set-top box is tuned to a specific network does not mean that there are viewers receiving that content. There are ways to ascertain viewing from tuning streams, such as examining activity from the remote - channel change, trick play and set on or off - but this is still a measurement "work in progress.

Media Insights Q&A With Turner's Gregg Liebman
by Charlene Weisler on May 21, 4:00 PM
Gregg Liebman, senior vice president, ad sales and sports research, Turner, started in the industry on the agency side before moving to the networks. This gives him a uniquely long-term perspective on the industry in general and in research specifically. In my interview with him, Gregg talks about his extensive research background from both an agency and content provider perspective, the importance of quality custom research in conjunction with syndicated services, Turner's groundbreaking approach to research, and some predictions about the media landscape in the next five years.

NBC's Troubles With 'Harry'
by Ed Martin on May 18, 1:58 PM
NBC kicked off the 2012-13 broadcast upfront season with a move that may have alienated millions of people: the cancellation of legal drama "Harry's Law," this despite the fact that it often was the network's most watched entertainment series during its two-year run. The trouble with "Harry," as NBC noted, was that its audience was unmanageably older-skewing, even though it was much larger than that of many other television shows. That means most of its viewers were 55-plus -- or "dead," in the eyes of advertisers who continue to lust after the 18-34, 18-49 and, less passionately, 25-54 demographic groups.

Return-Path-Data Lexicon: Middleware
by Jane Clarke on May 17, 1:34 PM
Middleware is ubiquitous to computing infrastructure, but also holds special importance in the world of return-path data and measurement. RPD middleware not only provides a range of data capabilities including interactivity and addressability, it also may contain strains of usage data that need to be captured and merged with other collections of data from the box and associated streams. Let's look at the terms and definitions associated with middleware:

Naturally Occurring Data
by Bill Harvey, Mark Lieberman on May 16, 11:04 AM
Over a half century ago, TV measurement was invented. Advertisers wanted to know whether their TV ads were effective. How to define "effective"? The ultimate answer: Did the ads drive consumers to action, to buy the product or service being advertised? This kind of detailed information was simply not available, so the industry settled for a weak proxy: Were my ads even seen? A sampling system was set up to monitor if the TV program was watched by a small number of panelists who had an "opportunity to see" the ads And these panelists had to be actively engaged, raising ...

Thurston Moore Admits To Cheating On Kim Gordon, Slams Jezebel For Calling Him A Dick
A few months ago, in an interview with ELLE, Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon discussed, amongst other things, the breakup of her 30-year-long marriage to bandmate Thurston Moore, after she discovered he was carrying on "a double life" with a "starstruck woman." That woman, Eva Prinz, is still Moore's girlfriend, and he addressed their relationship in an interview with The Fly earlier this week. "I'm in a really romantic place with Eva; we've kinda been a couple for close to six years," he said, as if having a multi-year-long extramarital affair is, like, a meet-cute. "A lot of those years nobody was very aware of it except us. The cat's been out of the bag a while now, that's kinda where I'm at."
As Tom Hawking at Flavorwire points out, by Moore's own timeline, he would have been cheated on Kim with Prinz back in 2007, when he and Kim posed for Bust's Love issue. Moore and Prinz would have also been carrying on their affair around the time that Prinz gave birth to some Dutch prince's kid. Talk about a beautiful story to tell the grandkids!
Look, sometimes people meet and fall in love and the timing isn't convenient and people get hurt. It sucks, but it happens. While Kim was the first to talk to the press about their split, as the one who was cheated on for years, I don't blame her for wanting to be clear about what led to their split. But Moore throwing his hat into the ring by casually offering unnecessary and ultimately hurtful details about the length of his affair/relationship really just makes him look like a bigger dick than he already did. Which is what the women's site Jezebel called him in their post on the subject on Wednesday. And that made Thurston MAD. Moore posted the following to his Facebook page today and, well, it doesn't do much to contradict Jezebel's characterization, if you ask me:
Jezebel is gender fascism. By not having any real critical facility to understand, in their case, men in relationship to women (presumably them) they opt to promote hate by imperialist blather. By couching it in feminism is a distinct lack of class, but i'm sure they're having a bit of online fun and when they grow up maybe they'll glean the complexities of real life and love.
"Gender fascism"? Promoting "hate by imperialist blather"? My head hurts my eyes are rolling so hard. Moore can get all uppity about "the complexities of real life and love" all he wants, but carrying on years-long affair behind your wife of 30 years' back IS A DICK MOVE. Moore contributed to the public discourse of his affair by discussing it in an interview, so he can't really be pissy about the direction that discourse naturally headed in, which is to conclude that he, Thurston Moore, is a dick. And, BTW, it's even dickier to write off said criticism as "gender fascism," because COME ON. When did Thurston Moore start spouting bullshit MRA talking points? His dickishness is really starting to piss me off now, because I'm afraid it's going to impact my enjoyment of Sonic Youth and that would really be unfair to Kim Gordon, who remain an incredible rock goddess who clearly deserves better than this midlife crisis nightmare.

A good book,
December 30, 2015ByEcho –This review is from: The Rose and The Thorn (MacPherson Brides Book 1) (Kindle Edition)A wonderful book to read. Sarah Rose had been forced into a marriage full of abuse, both physical and sexual. She doesn't know what it is to love or trust men. Thornton MacPherson enters her life, and in another twist, she has to marry him. Sarah Rose learns to trust and love. This book is a good book to read, interesting, at times touching. It held my attention the whole way through. It is a clean romance.

Decent storyline but somewhat unbelievable,
January 26, 2016Byscastuff (Southern US) –This review is from: The Rose and The Thorn (MacPherson Brides Book 1) (Kindle Edition)May will enjoy this book, but I found it a bit over-dramatic and disjointed. It's not a bad book or story really. The characters are okay and so is the writing, but that's it. Everything is just… okay.
The author seems to completely switch gears halfway through the book. It affects the characters, genre, timeline, and events.
The main characters are Mac and Sarah at the start of the book and then suddenly become Thorn and Rose to each other. I understand that the author is trying to use this as a sign that they have changed each other and have grown, but it really doesn't work the way she intended.
The start of the book is completely void of any biblical references, but halfway through, the characters become quite religious and every other page someome praying for something. I have no problem with religion in a book, but it feels forced. It's like the author wrote half the book and an early reviewer told her she needed it to be Christian fiction so add church references and forgiveness.
Time is very strange in this book. The story must cover several months, if not years, but seems to only be a matter of weeks in the telling. Broken bones seems to heal in days but a baby never grows up.
I'm not even sure if tragedy is what to call it, but how many can an author put her characters through? Every one of them is assaulted and orphaned at some point in their life. They seem to be the only good people surrounded by a world of evil.
I may try this author again at a later date, but I will not read the rest of this series.

94% of Americans Think Movie Downloads Are More Eco
Eighty-seven percent of respondents from a recent study believe renting DVDs at the video store or through mail services will become a thing of the past. I am not shocked at all considering what's available for download on iTunes, Amazon's streaming video, the fact that Xbox 360 streams Netflix movies, and the plethora of on-demand movie services.
The ecological positive of the trend is the fact that downloading movies is more convenient and eco-friendly than taking a drive out to the local video store. The survey, which was conducted by CinemaNow, reports that 94 percent of Americans believe that they make a bigger contribution to the environment by downloading a movie online than renting or buying at a video store. To check out additional findings,
The poll found that consumer adoption of digital sharing features such as streaming to IP-enabled TV or loading content onto MP3 players still lags in comparison to burning DVDs. More than half (51 percent) of Americans say they've tried burning the digital movies onto DVDs versus 18 percent who have tried connecting them to set-top-boxes or cable box.
Have you shifted your download or streaming usage in this age of ever increasing and ridiculous gas prices?
