Big Cable Moves to Scoop up Streaming Rights, Pressure Netflix, et al.

Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, and more are at risk of seeing content cut off by secret backroom deals
It's a seeming golden age for streaming. Many customers are turning to streaming services to get their fix of favorite TV shows without having to (necessarily) pay for expensive DVRs, or remember to record programming. Streamed episodes are available from
Hulu, LLC
, Inc. (
), and
, Inc. (
) -- among other services. Other tech giants such as Apple, Inc. (
), Intel Corp. (
), and Google Inc. (
) are waiting hungrily in the ranks with
new set top boxes
service plans
of their own
I. Cable Companies Want a "Fair Shake" at Streaming
A Feb. 2012 report suggested
100 million Americans
(nearly 1 in 3 Americans) watch streaming video, and it suggests cable should be worried. Well apparently they are, and they're taking serious action looking to snatch up rights that could allow them to both unleash streaming services of their own, or block new market entrants.
LA Times
is citing
anonymous comments from "several industry executives" as revealing that DirecTV (
), Time Warner Cable Inc. (
), and Charter Communications, Inc. (
) are putting in bids to win "
" rights from multichannel video program suppliers. Those involve are reportedly billing the effort as a "defensive" move, despite their being no current plans to deploy streaming services (versus traditional cable box services).
So what's the true motive? The report instead suggests that cable companies may try to sneak clauses into their programming contracts to install financial barriers to licensing to new streaming services (such as Intel's proposed service).
The bids could also be contingent on programmers dropping their streaming partnerships with other services like Netflix -- although that seems unlikely.

Some fear that big cable may use these OTT purchases to try to dam the stream, so to speak. They argue that big cable's interest seems focused on depriving their internet-age rivals -- and customers -- from streaming content, and in the process forcing customers to continue pricey cable subscriptions.
This is not the first such assault on streaming. Content providers famously
"banned" set-top boxes and SmartTVs
, such as Google TV from accessing their online content after cable companies pressured them to stop directly providing content. Many networks have cut the number of episodes available on their websites to be streamed to users' PCs.

A DirecTV spokesperson insisted their company's goal was not to drive out the competition, stating, "Our programming deals are confidential so we can't specifically comment, but our one objective in these deals is not to restrict access but to ensure we get equal or better treatment with both existing and new competitors."
Some industry sources say that the content providers won't part so easily with OTT rights. Comments one source, "Most of the major programmers don't agree to it."
II. Government Report Warns of Multiple Anti-Streaming Tactics
But a
recent report
by the
Government Accountability Office
(GAO) suggests that programming providers may have good reasons to try to minimize the amount of content they license to streaming service providers, when most of their revenue comes from traditional cable ("multi-channel... distributors"). The report states, "While content providers are interested in providing some content to online video distributors (OVD), their incentive to do so is somewhat constrained by the potential effect on subscriptions to traditional multichannel video program distributors."
The GAO report also indicates that cable companies may exert their control over the internet to try to block streaming, by charging customers extra fees on streamed content. The GAO comments, "MVPDs may have an incentive to charge for bandwidth in such a way in such a way as to raise the costs to consumers for using OVD service."
Cable companies have multiple tactics to try to combat streaming. [Image Source: UNL]
Currently, such actions would violate the
U.S. Federal Communications Commission
's net neutrality policies and
could result in fines
, under
laws passed by Congress
. Several such investigations
are currently open
. But
Republicans in Congress
pushing hard to remove that net neutrality roadblock
, allowing companies like Time Warner or Comcast, Inc. (
) to freely charge you extra fees for using bandwidth to stream Netflix or throttle your connection to prevent streaming.
If a "doomsday" scenario of mass exclusive ownership of OTT rights by cable providers did occur, it would dramatically cut subscriptions to Netflix and other services; it would also damage set-top box makers like TiVo Inc. (
) whose value is partially based on the ability to easily access a compiled collection of streaming services. However, customers could hope in such a scenario that cable companies might opt to eventually offer their own additional subscription streaming services, competing against each other.
But for all the challenges, some fresh faces in the streaming world are charging on.
Intel has reportedly turned heads
with some very high bids for content and may soon be able to roll out its service. One executive said it was just a matter of time before many of Intel's proposals went through, while another comments, "They are very aggressive."
Intel's bid for a streaming success is reportedly nearing fruition. [Image Source: etechmag]
So for now it looks like cable will have to keep dreaming and scheming when it comes to stifle streaming.

"I never had the chance to work at the new facilities and my memories are of backing boats down the hill at Bolton Street (and seeing the occasional boat or truck backing itself down the hill). In my 8 years with Buckeye, I got to see a business that progressed from selling 16 foot boats, to 23 footers and up to 28 footers. I worked closely with Mr. Poole and he always liked things to be done right and always treated people fairly (both customers and staff). These two simple ingredients are at the core of any successful enterprise, and I expect continue to be his enduring legacy. I'd argue the third ingredient to a successful business is passion and drive. These clearly exist in Buckeye. You are among the most caring, generous people I've ever met. This caring spirit is rich in Buckeye and results in having employees who feel valued and customers who know that they are much more that just a business transaction. Both of these are critical to any successful enterprise will serve you well for the next 60 years. The opportunity you provided and experience I gained, continue to serve me well to this day

Long Distance Touch Lamp
Create a lush, living wall inside your home or apartment or outside on a fence with the modular, easy-to-install hanging plant pockets.
The breathable material handmade in the USA of 90% recycled plastic bottles allows soil to aerate naturally and reduces the need for drainage. The breathable material also helps the roots do something called air pruning. When the roots sense the air, they naturally stop their own growth because they sense they've reached the limits of their space. This keeps the roots healthy and stops plants from becoming root-bound by growing in continuing circles as they do in non-breathable containers such as clay pots.
How It Works
The felt tongue wicks water to the roots, so don't water the plant - water the tongue. Its breathable front allows excess moisture to evaporate while naturally aerating the soil, and the built-in moisture barrier protects your wall from getting wet.
Create a living wall
Like building blocks, these pockets are totally modular. Just line them up and overlap their grommets (grommet center to grommet center measures 22" across and 13" up and down). You can hang them vertically or horizontally. After you've attached to a wall, simply fill the pockets with soil and full-sized plants.
Features built-in moisture protection which helps protect floors and walls from getting wet.

I think we should not put anything specific for Network Client under where we explain setReadOnly (in Reference Manual -> JDBC Referecne -> java.sql.Connection -> java.sql.Connection.setReadOnly) because seems like http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/adminguide/cadminapps.html should be the central place for listing all the differences.

Shelley Salon and Day Spa
Like any good teacher, style director and salon owner Shelley Hutchinson believes you are never done learning. Her 14 years as a cosmetologist have led her to oversee a staff of hairstylists, aestheticians, and massage therapists, all of whom continue to hone their skills through educational seminars. As they absorb new techniques, they graduate on a track from apprentice to senior stylist, having chosen a major in either scissor biology or beehive keeping. Shelley herself attends international trade shows to keep up with the world's aesthetic tastes, adapting her knowledge of cuts and colors to make the most of the salon's partnership with Goldwell.
Inside Shelley's beautification venue, sunlight illuminates fixtures inspired by the natural world. Potted trees, floral arrangements, and bamboo window shades complement the earth-toned walls of private spa and public styling areas. The services also draw from nature: guests can warm their feet during the Tranquil Earth pedicure featuring hot rocks, or they can nourish their features with an enzyme peel's pineapple and papaya extracts.

Managing money is an essential life skill that, until now, has never been taught at school. Financial education will soon be part of the National Curriculum, but the responsibility of equipping kids for the harsh realities of economic life should be shared with parents, too, says Lianne Kolirin
Hands up if you remember Pythagoras' theorem, the life cycle of frogs or the difference between stalactites and stalagmites? Now step forward if any of the above has come in useful since you left school. These are subjects that British children have been taught for generations, while money and how to manage it have been absent from the National Curriculum.
Now, thanks to campaigners such as Martin Lewis, founder and editor of MoneySavingExpert.com, financial education will be compulsory in secondary schools. He claims that ignoring this critical issue was to a disservice to our children, not to mention the economy. Last year, a study carried out by MoneySavingExpert.com found that this lack of financial education was costing the country £3.4 billion annually through unemployment, debt, fraud and scams. Finally, last week, Education Secretary Michael Gove announced a comprehensive overhaul of the curriculum, which will now include financial education.
'For more than 20 years we've educated our youth into debt when they go to university, without educating them about debt,' says Lewis. 'We desperately need to break the cycle of financial illiteracy in the UK. It's one of the causes of our current economic crisis and a huge contributor to continued mis-selling epidemics. Education is a cheap and easy way to fix the problem. So I'm jumping for joy at the news that financial education will be part of the National Curriculum for the first time… This is the first step in ensuring that every child has at least some basic financial education to help them navigate our complex consumer economy.'
The campaign was spearheaded by Lewis, the All Party Parliamentary Group on Financial Education for Young People (APPG) and the Personal Finance Education Group (PFEG). Changes recommended by the review will be implemented in 2014.
Financial education will be part of the Citizenship curriculum. Specifically it includes: Key Stage 3 (ages 11–14) – the functions and uses of money, the importance of personal budgeting, money management and a range of financial products and services, and Key Stage 4 (14–16) – wages, taxes, credit, debt, financial risk and a range of more sophisticated financial products and services. In addition, the new curriculum places a 'renewed emphasis' on mathematics, including financial mathematics.
'Generations of young people will now gain the knowledge and skills they need to be able to manage their personal finances,' says Justin Tomlinson MP, chair of the APPG on Financial Education for Young People. 'This will make a real and lasting difference to financial capability in our country.'
Tracey Bleakley, chief executive of the PFEG, described the move as a 'huge victory' for campaigners. 'Financial education is essential in equipping young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to be able to manage their money well,' she says. 'With financial mathematics included as a part of Maths and financial capability included in Citizenship education for the first time, the campaign has achieved both of its objectives.'
Yet Britain remains in an economic slump with no end in sight. A recent poll found that 43 per cent of seven- to 16-year-olds worry about money and 96 per cent of pupils wish they learned more about personal finance at school. If we want to ensure a brighter future for our children, it's vital that we teach them how to make sensible financial choices. Parents have a key role to play, but times are changing and so should the way we teach children to save, according to Mark Timbrell, founder and CEO of PKTMNY. His online company provides children with a contactless prepaid Visa debit card, which allows parents to control how and where they spend.
'As a parent, I know just how difficult it is to teach children about money, especially as the school curriculum focuses on using cash and visiting banks, neither of which reflects how children see money being used,' says Timbrell. 'PKTMNY has been designed so that, in using it, children learn the value of money and gain the financial skills that will prepare them for the world they will grow into.'
The idea of giving your child a card with which to spend, spend, spend might alarm some parents. 'PKTMNY makes spending, saving, managing transactions and checking balances easy and straightforward for children, using clear visuals and graphics,' says clinical child psychologist Dr Elizabeth Kilbey. 'The days of keeping money in little plastic pigs are gone. By using PKYMNY children can learn financial controls, risks and consequences under the watchful eyes of parents, who can monitor what their child is doing and decide when, or if, to step in with guidance and advice.'

1 Talk to your children about money. It sounds simple, but this is the most effective way to help your children understand personal finance. Explain how you arrive at financial decisions, what's in your budget and how different aspects of dealing with money make you feel.
2 Teach them where money comes from. We're an increasingly cashless society, and thanks to the invention of cashback it's easy for children to assume that the supermarket is the source of all of your funds. Showing your child your payslip and explaining what you had to do to find employment are good ways of building financial understanding.
3 Set savings challenges. If you give your child pocket money, talk to them about setting a savings target and encourage them to adopt good habits early. This is a good opportunity to introduce ideas around keeping your money safe and planning for the future.
4 Explain the difference between needs and wants. Contrast examples of goods they need every day, such as food and clothing, and items or toys they might want, but don't need. This is a great way of introducing the concept of saving and the need to exercise restraint in their spending.
5 Involve them in the weekly shop. As you go around the supermarket, ask your children to choose the best-value combinations of set products and get them to do the adding up as you go from aisle to aisle. As well as learning valuable lessons, your new helpers can make your job easier at the same time.

Best Deals Right Now for Naked DSL
- You don't want Naked DSL.
- Unless you're going with MyNetFone, Internode or Primus
- But a bundle is fine.
Later this month we'll be posting a thorough examination of Naked DSL, which is in the news spotlight as Telstra makes furious arguments against providing it to consumers. We'll examine what Naked DSL is, what it isn't, why it can be largely ignored and why most people have no clue what it's all about.
But for now, we'll try to answer the most pressing questions for people looking for a good deal on Naked DSL, or Naked Broadband, or whatever it is people think they're looking for – and identify deals that actually make sense.
What is Naked DSL?
Here's how a broadband connection to the internet works. The internet is out there. You're in your house. The company with internet has to have a way to send it to your house from out there. They can either send it to you via a long range wireless signal from a mobile phone tower, or along some type of fixed line leading into your house. What's a fixed line? Um…let's just call it what it is. It's a pipe.
Internets that have been piped in come with more internets. When internets are sent to you over the air, some of the internets get absorbed into buildings, trees and rain. And it's also shared by everyone else in your area.
So, if you want a steady connection with lots of gigabytes, because of Xbox and also Skype, then you want Piped In Internets.
But the only two pipes that can be used are telephone pipes or cable pipes. Cable pipes are fast, but expensive and don't go to every household. Telephone pipes go to every house, even when the pipe isn't being used for telephones.
But to use telephone pipes, you generally have to have the telephone on first. People don't like that because of iPhones. So they developed a form of internet using telephone pipes that comes with no telephone. That's Naked DSL, or Naked Broadband. It's naked because the telephone is clothes, get it?
Why is it hard to get Naked DSL?
IT JUST IS. The actual, factual reason is that Telstra, the owner of all the telephone pipes, has reservations about providing Naked Pipes. A cynic might conclude that their reservations are "we won't make extra revenue from phone services", but Telstra's official line is "it's technologically inconvenient, and naked pipes are more prone to faults by a 2-1 margin". Whichever side you're on, the point is, it's hard to get.
You can get Naked DSL if you're in a heavily populated metro area, and even then only sometimes. Because of science. Oh, and economics. Mostly economics, actually.
Does Naked DSL Save Me Money?
Uh, Duh. If you get a bundled home phone and internet line, you may pay $40 for internets, and $30 for the phone pipe. What a rip off! Instead, Naked DSL will just charge you $70 for internets. Bargain!
In all seriousness, Naked DSL costs more to provision from a wholesale standpoint, and this extra cost is reflected in the retail price you pay.
So Why Get Naked DSL?
- You don't want the temptation of a home phone in your house, aching to be used
- Naked DSL theoretically ekes out a little bit more speed. Theoretically is slang for 'Mostly doesn't'.
- You have a religious thing.
But Naked DSL can't hurt, right?
Sure can! Everyone can used 'bundled' pipes. Not everyone can use 'Unbundled' (Naked) pipes. When you're fed up with your ISP, you can easily transfer from one to another if you're on a bundled pipe. If you're on a Naked Pipe, you have to disconnect, and wait 2 weeks to be reconnected.
If I get a bundled deal, and never plug in a telephone handset, then haven't I made my life easier and basically given myself Naked DSL?
But surely someone prefers to offer Naked DSL?
Yes, thankfully. Otherwise we'd all go crazy.
Internode has a bundle plan (phone + internet) with 30GB of data for $30 a month plus a $30 line rental (total $60). Their Naked plan was previously the same - $60 for 30GB. But for a while now, and for the foreseeable future, their 30GB Naked plan will come with 150GB instead, making it much better value overall. Call 1300 106 571 to check for eligibility.
MyNetFone prefers to offer Naked DSL. Their best value plan is a 200GB (100 peak/100 off peak) plan for $50, with a free Wi-Fi modem on a 12 month contract. Call 1300 421 046.
Primus likes to do Naked DSL. $70 gets you Unlimited data. This is equal to TPG's Unlimited Naked plan, but TPG require that your line is already connected before 'converting' to Naked DSL, whereas Primus will allow for Naked DSL on vacant phone lines. BUT…Primus is available in half as many places as TPG. BUT…Primus has great customer service, all based in Melbourne. Call 1300 137 794.
DON'T GO FOR NAKED DSL. Unless it's with one of these guys. If Naked DSL is not available, go with a bundled ADSL2+ plan and don't use the phone. Simple!
Call us on 1300 501 578 for help in finding a plan!

Acornhoek - Three people accused of kidnapping and assaulting suspected criminals were granted R1000 bail each by the Acornhoek Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
Sergeant Gerald Sedibe said the three would return to court on August 14, when nine of their co-accused, who were granted bail last Monday, would appear again.
Five others, including Bushbuckridge Residents' Association (BRA) leader Delta Mokoena, also appeared on Tuesday. They would return to court on August 1.
The group is accused of kidnapping suspected criminals, subjecting them to a "kangaroo court", and assaulting them.
Police said six of their alleged victims, who had been placed in witness protection, told how they were taken to several places and beaten.
Their assailants reportedly operated from an unoccupied government building. Other victims were allegedly forced to agree they were involved in crime.
Some residents in the area apparently reported crimes to the group rather than to the police.
Last year, Mokoena was sentenced by the same court to three years' jail for intimidation. He was granted leave to appeal his sentence.
Sedibe said previously that Mokoena faced separate cases involving arson and kidnapping.
The BRA won 1.2 percent of the vote in Mpumalanga during the May general elections. The party secured a seat in the provincial legislature.

My doctor recommended this cream after a skin cancer removal on my forehead. Ive used it ever since and cant believe how it has taken years off of my face - I love, love, love this! Stick with this and the replenishing cream and you will see what I mean.
Ive been using Vivite night cream for about 8 months. No comparison between this and other products Ive tried. My skin is smoother and less "craggy" than in the past (Im 61).
I use this almost every night. It has 20% glycolic so might be a little strong if your not used to it. I wake up in the morning with baby smooth skin. It doesnt ever make me dry but sometimes it stings when I first apply it. This is a little pricey but the jar lasts forever! A little goes a long way. It has a little bit of an odd smell to it but it goes away in a few minutes.
This was recommended by my dermatologist. I have been using this for the past 4 months and I swear it has taken off 10 years. Today is my 45th birthday and people think I am no older than 32. I use this nightly, alternating it with a prescription retinoid. I also use the SkinCeuticals C & E Ferulic serum every morning under my SPF 30. Try this - you will not be disappointed! BTW...LovelySkin.com has the best price - it is more expensive in my doctor's office.
This is one product that's a must. It goes on smooth, feels great, and makes a real difference in your complextion. Even when I'm using other regimines, I still incorporate this great product.
This cream has transformed my skin.
My esthetician & I love this for both day & night. Lots of glycolic acid.Seems to plump up fine lines!
I have used this cream night and day for 5 years and it s fantastic - lots of complements on my skin.
Moisturizing smoothing
This was recommended by my derm and I have used it for several years. My skin is glows and is not irritated.
love it !

Eurasia Blog Wednesday Devotion: Bruised Reeds and Faintly Burning Wicks
Wed, Jan 13, 2016
–By Elizabeth Ahlman
Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law (Isaiah 42:1-4 ESV).
So often, we are bruised reeds and faintly burning wicks. We have all felt this way at times, as we face our sins and shortcomings in the mirror of God's Holy Law. It is sometimes so obvious just how very very wicked we are. We watch almost from outside of ourselves as we snap at our children, shun our spouse, make fun of that person ahead of us in the grocery store line, talk behind a co-worker's back and more. Somewhere inside of us a voice is telling us just how wrong we are, just how wicked and horrible. And yet, we don't seem to be able to stop. Then, we feel the weight of our sins piling on us, and in our weak state, even the friendliest word of correction pains us. We are crushed, on the verge of breaking in half, of being snuffed out.
Into our despair and brokenness, Yahweh sends His chosen servant. In Jesus' Baptism, Yahweh declares Jesus to be His Beloved Son, with whom He is well-pleased. Jesus' baptism by John in the Jordan sends Him out on His work of salvation. As the Beloved Son of God, Jesus travels the road to the cross. He, the bruised reed, allows Himself to be broken for us. He, the faintly burning wick, allows Himself to be snuffed out on our behalf. He becomes bruised, bloodied, and dimmed for us. In His death on the cross He takes into Himself all the sins and shortcomings which we mourn in ourselves.
Then He comes gently to us as we labor under the law and are bruised and nearly snuffed out, and He speaks peace. He speaks forgiveness and life. He places His Name upon us in our Baptisms, and in so doing declares us righteous in Him. He does not break or quench us, but renews and strengthens. In our Baptisms, He makes it so that Yahweh speaks also to us: "You are my servant, my chosen, in whom my soul delights, and I have put my Spirit upon you." God's justice has been brought forth in us, a justice in which the just dies for the unjust, and the unjust become the just. When we are breaking and sputtering out, we hear again that the Beloved Son of God has died for us, forgives us, grants us His righteousness and life, and comes gently to us in water and Word, in bread and wine to repair what is broken and soothe the brokenhearted.
Let us Pray: Lord Jesus Christ, You are the Beloved Son of God, thank you for making us also, with You, beloved children of the Father through our Baptisms into Your death and resurrection; uphold us when we are weak, speak mercy to us through your Church when we are bruised and broken, and bring us at last to stand with You, whole and forgiven on the Last Day as children of the Heavenly Father; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 15-45X60MM HD Spotting Scope
Online Auction 68459666
|Online Auction Description
Legend Ultra HD 15-45X60MM HD Spotting Scope
Bushnell 15-45x60mm Legend Ultra HD Spotting Scope with ED Prime Glass is mid-size model covering the popular 15-45x power range, with the clarity of ED glass and dual speed controls for fast and precise focusing. This Bushnell spotting scope has everything youve ever wanted in a spotting scope. Well, almost everything. Getting a B&C elk or rare bird species in it is your job. But Bushnell make the task as easy as possible with bright, razor-sharp imagery and a new, compact 100% waterproof design that excels in the most unforgiving conditions. Built on the same philosophy as Bushnells new Legend Ultra HD binoculars, the Legend Ultra-HD spotting scope by Bushnell delivers exceptional field performance at a price most avid enthusiasts can afford.
The ED Prime Extra-Low Dispersion glass, fully multicoated optics and premium BaK-4 prisms capture the moment with vivid clarity and contrast, even in low-light conditions. Stacked, dual-focus controls permit you to make both rapid and fine-tuning adjustments. Lenses are protected by Bushnell new ultra effective RainGuard HD for the clearest possible view in the face of foul weather or condensation from your own misguided breath.
RainGuard HD - without it, youre not ready. A wet lens or a misguided breath that would fog conventional glass will never cost you a view. This permanent, water-repellent coating causes moisture from rain, snow, sleet or condensation to bead up and scatter less light, so you get a clear, bright view when other optics would be rendered useless.

I really don't mind cleaning my shower, as long as I do it weekly as my Home Management Binder tells me to do. Just like with everything else, though, sometimes I get behind and the ever dreaded soap scum builds up. Hours of elbow grease seemed to be no match to soap scum.
But now, I have found a new weapon–which laughs in the face of Mr. Soap Scum.
All I have to do now when procrastination and a busy life get the best of my shower, is wipe down the shower door and walls with a Magic Eraser. Say goodbye to Soap Scum.
It sparkles and looks just like new! If you've never tried one before, do yourself, your shower, and your home a favor and try one.
Do you have a secret cleaning weapon?

A lot of the pundits are looking at the polls and the race in general and comparing it to past presidential races.
I created a computer program to tell us what the results would have been if the polling ratios in this year's polls were applied to historic models of past presidential elections.
The results are interesting.
If we have voters turn out like they did in 2008, most models show Obama would win. A few would give the nod to Romney.
Most of the difference is in the Independent vote. Some years there were more Independents and some less. And they are mostly favoring Romney this year, where in 2008 they were voting in Obama's favor.
What this computer model does is take the percentages of Republicans, Democrats and Independents as found by each poll and applies that ratio to the actual turnout for each election year.
And just for fun we have added the 2012 polling model of +2 Republican and a Neutral model there Republicans, Democrats and Independents are all 33% of the projected turnout.
These polls also identify a skew, the actual poll results as well as a grade. Of course the grades are subjective, but they are mostly grading the poll's transparency and how detailed the data is which they release with the poll. The grade also considers the ratios of gender and race as far as the grade itself, but the year models are independent of any data outside of the party affiliation breakdown ratios.
So now you can see how this race may have compared to previous races.

Saturday April 29, 2017 • Freddy Moran
NOTE LOCATION CHANGE: Community Room of the Ingleside Police Station, 1 Sgt John V Young Street, San Francisco
Freddy Moran's fabric-collage technique is fast, fun and produces dramatic results: glueing and then sewing fussy-cut florals (or other showy images) onto a black-and-white background. But she's always innovating, trying graphic colored prints as backgrounds and now flannels. Her results with polka dot flannels, striped flannels and other graphic flannel prints are great!

Minimum enrollment is 15; $50 for SFQG members, $65 for nonmembers.
NOTE: This Sewcial is on the last Saturday of the month to accommodate Freddy's schedule.

I need a Page navigator form.Asked by EasyAds on August 25, 2014 at 08:19 PM
I need a jotform that will allow my visitors to be able to enter their Staff ID number, press submit, and be navigated to their hotel page, rather than having to scroll
through the different hotel buttons.
Once they hit submit, that number should
take them to a certain URL. I know that there is a lot of variables involved, but if you could just point me into the right direction, I believe that I can figure it out.
I attached a picture to better explain what I'm looking for.

My company produces reports that are sold to clients and are distributed as PDF's. I just recently discovered that these documents are in no way protected against redistributing. I know I can secure a PDF against printing and against the end user copying the text and then pasting into a new document. But what I need to know is, is it possible to prevent the end user from copying the file to another users flash drive or similar device.

You can't really. Even the largest companies have failed, look at apple or the various film companies. If a product is available on a computer someone will figure out how to copy it. You could keep the file on your own servers and distribute a key to view it, but someone will crack it.
Apr 6, 2010 at 12:28 UTC
check with the good folks at AutoBeat Daily they have this issue resolved in there distrobution method...
Apr 6, 2010 at 12:29 UTC
You could try something like putting them in a repository/CMS and password protect them, so the only people who can download have to have the password.
Apr 6, 2010 at 12:33 UTC
Chris, while that may be; someone figuring out how to break your copy protection is doing so illegally...no? I do see your point though, but I still need to come up with a solution. This will teach me to open up a can of worms.
Apr 6, 2010 at 12:42 UTC
Some sort of hosted system with good protection providing something that can only be read on screen would do it. But not awfully portable for your customers.
Distribute as hardcopy in some form that is difficult to photocopy.
What about publishing it to Kindle, then if you find someone has cracked it you can delete it from their system.
Apr 6, 2010 at 12:58 UTC
Upper management still wants the user to be able to print it, because as they put it " I'd be pissed if I couldn't print something that I bought " and I have to agree with that. But they want us to be able to protect it from being emailed or " passed around " through a thumb drive.
What sort of hosted system would you suggest?
Apr 7, 2010 at 4:52 UTC
Don't know of any in particular just presented a theory.
However openfiler have something like it for their manual. You could ask them.
Apr 7, 2010 at 7:50 UTC
Are you selling the report or just access to the report?
We have a subscription to American Metal Market, which is about to lapse. It's over $1000 per year per person.
We receive a daily email, with links to articles that you need to log in to read and a link to an online PDF which passes your email address for them to check if your account is still valid but no login required.
You can print the PDF and even download it, but it's password secured to allow only printing, nothing else.
Apr 9, 2010 at 6:27 UTC
Thanks everyone for your input, I need to speak with management and present them with a few options. I think for the amount of money we're losing through piracy (probably not very much)it wouldn't be worth it to them to spend lots of money to fix the problem. I think the best route is keeping them on the web and then having customers log in to view / print their reports.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Japanuary – Myoko magic
The end of the line for an epic 'Japanuary' adventure…
I think Mother Nature took a keen interest in our winter tour of Nagano, because she decided to treat us on our arrival in Myoko. She decided to treat us REAL good.
The Myoko area, on average, receives 13 metres of snow a year. That's kind of up there as one of the snowiest places on the planet! Who knew?! Well we definitely didn't and that is why the 3.5-plus metres of snow that fell over the three days of our stay somewhat blew us away. The word on the street was that this much snow hadn't fallen in such a short period for over 30 years! With that in mind, you would think this would cause some serious hurdles for those trying to get on with everyday life (other than snorkel worthy skiing!) Our crew were constantly dumbstruck at how life simply continued. The kids walked to school (on the road as the footpaths had long since disappeared) with no more than a blazer, pair of gumboots and umbrella. 80 year old grannies cleared their front steps with gritty determination. Graders, snow-blowers and lightweight little cars patiently shared the road and no one was wearing enough clothing! However, that local nonchalance didn't rub off on us at all. Every day we looked incredulously out of our hotel window at the mounting road side banks, hearts thumping and ski feet twitching.
So yes, living in it was amazing. Skiing it, well, let's just say I went through a few phases!
Phase One was visiting Seki Onsen the morning they received 1.5 metres of fresh in just 5 hours. Both exciting and terrifying. The relaxed vibe, low key facilities and super cool staff had the familiar ring of a New Zealand club field and this was matched by the lack of restrictions they placed on where we could and could not ski. First distinct feeling of the day? Oh yeah… fear as I watched a skier take two turns then sink completely out of sight to ski submerged styles under the thick top layer of virgin pow. That snow was the deepest I had skied in my 25 years of sliding and I had to put some tactics in place. Zero turns, as much bounce as possible to keep momentum in the 4sqm of snow that travelled in a wave around me, stay away from others so I wouldn't bury them and do everything possible not to bury MYSELF!! Once I got a grip on my girly nerves, sucked it up and just skied the crazy stuff I knew that this was likely to be a once in a lifetime experience. The feeling was shared by my crew who stood stoked and a little gobsmacked at the bottom of each run.
Phase Two was also day two and this time at Akakura Kanko. With local advice to ski the top two lifts and the off piste tree runs around them, we headed on up the network of bubble chairs (by the way – it was still dumping and had another casual 1m-plus overnight). This day was THE day of my skiing life. There was hardly a soul around and a snowy heaven to pillage. We adventured to our hearts content, fresh silky lines for every run and some of the coolest steeper glade skiing we had experienced yet. The snow was still so incredibly deep but dryer than the day before and I had more than one "hero" moment, bouncing off pillowy drops, wafting between trees while regularly choking on the cloudy snow funnelling off the top of my skis. Epic. Dreamy. Exhilarating.
As you can imagine snow time at Myoko was all consuming, but the charm and snippets of culture we experienced in Japan still live on in the back of my brain. Skiing via snow covered roads, dodging graders and snowbound vehicles to our accommodation was one. Walking the snowy tree lined avenue to Togakushi shrine, where a famous Ninja gang used to hide in the forest. Drinking sake from the hugest bottle ever in a tiny rustic restaurant. The final night spent sharing whiskey and laughs around a table with snow loving locals at The Skater Bar was one of the best.
Myoko was the cherry on top of our Japanuary magical mystery tour. We never really knew what to expect and found every experience was bigger, better, more delicious and beautiful then we could have dreamed up. I would recommend a Nagano ski trip to anyone of any level and there is no doubt that a visit to this amazing country should be on everyone's bucket list.
