Recipes: Nowhere to run from those takeaway treats
Post-baby, there's new motivation for going for a jog, discovers Sophie White, as she flees the family in the hopes of working the pad Thai off the phat thighs
A few weeks ago, I was pictured at an event with a very attractive colleague of mine. I really hate having my picture taken. There is a knack to looking good in a picture, which I don't possess. As soon as a camera is trained on me, I automatically try to suck in my stomach, which, for some reason, has the unfortunate knock-on effect of flattening my arm flab unattractively against my torso, thus causing the arms to more closely resemble legs.
Usually, I avoid having my picture taken, but, on this occasion, I was pushed into the shot against my will.
I assumed mercy would be shown by the photographer, and that the shot would be discarded, until I opened this very magazine some time later.
There I was, hulking awkwardly beside the nymphette, looking red-faced and fat-armed. Himself, as ever, was on hand to provide words of solace. He laid a comforting arm around me and told me not to worry about it: "Nobody's looking at you in this photo, believe me", as he leaned in for a closer admiring look.
Before getting preggers, I was a keen runner - well, runner is overstating it somewhat, but, you know what I mean: I jogged. However, I had been pretty slow at getting back on the exercise buzz since having Yer Man.
I was riding the excuse-wave of my Caesarean for months. Any time I encountered my long-abandoned old runners in the house, I would defensively think: "What? I've had major abdominal surgery." After seeing the aforementioned picture, I admitted it was time to take action.
Before, when I used to go running, it would usually coincide with some annoying-but-obligatory task, such as cleaning the bathroom or writing thank-you cards. Running was a form of sanctioned procrastination. It's a healthy activity, so it's better than ordinary procrastination.
I have learned that, once you have a child, procrastination is quite simply out of the question. Not a single moment can be spent idle, because the to-do list in your head is infinite and is now no longer simply arranged according to chronological imperative.
My internal to-do list has a new filing system. It's chronological, sure, but now it's cross-referenced by activities that can be done at the same time - like brushing your teeth in the shower. Or tasks that can be completed with a baby strapped to your front (cooking, cleaning, wheeling a bicycle and a pram at the same time - don't ask). And, of course, activities that can be slotted into nap time (work, feeding and cleaning myself).
Since I no longer run as a means of procrastination, I've found a new reason. I'm not running for my life, but from it. I am fleeing Himself and Yer Man, who, let's face it, give me nothing but shit, both literally and figuratively. Another good reason is the reward. Pad Thai is one of my favourite takeaway treats, but, when I haven't worked for it, I make this healthier cheats' version at home.
Pad Thai
Serves 2.
You will need:
200g (7oz) dried rice noodles
60ml (2½fl oz) fish sauce
2 teaspoons tamarind paste
60ml (2½fl oz) water
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon groundnut oil
2 chicken breasts, sliced
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of chilli flakes
Juice of ½ a lime
Two cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
2 eggs
1 small head of broccoli, chopped quite small
80g (3oz) mangetout, finely sliced
100g (3½oz) beansprouts
2 carrots, grated
3 spring onions, sliced into 2cm lengths
Lime wedges and chopped peanuts, to serve
Soak the dried rice noodles in boiled water for 10 minutes, stirring until soft, then rinse with cold water. To make the tamarind sauce, put the fish sauce, the tamarind paste, the water and the brown sugar in a pan and bring to the boil to dissolve the sugar. Set aside.
Heat the groundnut oil in the pan over a high heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts to the pan, along with the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, the chilli flakes and the lime juice. When the chicken is cooked thoroughly, add the sliced garlic and stir-fry for a couple of minutes. Then push all the sliced chicken to the side of the pan and crack in the two eggs - piercing the yolks - and quickly scramble them using a spatula.
Mix the scrambled egg into the sliced chicken, add the tamarind sauce and toss in the chopped broccoli, the sliced mangetout, the beansprouts, the grated carrots and the sliced spring onions.
Stir-fry for a few minutes, until the broccoli is done to your liking. Add the rice noodles and toss everything together over the heat. Garnish with the lime wedges and the chopped peanuts.

Beautiful picture and I loved to puzzle it! It was hard, but that's half the fun ;-)
Beautiful. Make me want to run out and get some fresh flowers for my table.
This picture is absolutely gorgeous, and I'd love to solve the puzzle...but it's too big for me. I would really appreciate it if you could make this puzzle with fewer pieces, like somewhere between 150-180 pieces.

The cards tend to be stacked against our troops when it comes to winning custody of their kids.
That's especially true when they change duty stations and their children stay put.
"He's her dad, and it's hard," says Army wife Rebecca Bass as she clutches a stack of legal papers with tears streaming down her face.
She, SPC Chris Bass, and their three other children haven't seen Chris's daughter, 5-year old Katie Beth, since Katie Beth was two.
Photos of Katie Beth hang all around their Fort Hood home.
That's where Chris is stationed, while Katie Beth is 800 miles away in Georgia with her birth mom.
"My heart hurts, my heart hurts for my husband, because it's been three years since he's been able to hold her, to hug her, to kiss her, to tuck her in," Rebecca says through tears.
Chris says, "I feel that she's here all the time with me in my heart, and I want her here physically."
The couple doesn't qualify for legal aid programs in Texas, because the case would have to be opened in Georgia, and the legal aid program in Georgia tends to focus its limited funds on domestic violence issues when it comes to family law cases for non-Georgia residents.
On top of that, there's the looming cost of traveling to Georgia multiple times to attend court.
Family Law Attorney Ed Laughlin handles lots of Military cases in Central Texas and says families often give up on ones, like the Basses'.
"Some of these cases, they are two, three, four hearings or more, and so the more hearings you go into that, it's much more difficult for them, and also they have, like everyone has, limited funds," Laughlin said.
It's a problem that may be more common than you think.
SGT Shawn Miller says his 9-year old daughter, Ashlynn, hasn't been in his custody for more than a short visit in about three years.
"It's very difficult financially, and it's hard to only have a phone call type relationship," Shawn said.
His wife, Traci, worries they and their other two children are losing touch with Ashlynn.
"That's painful for me, and I feel bad for Savannah and Julian, they don't get to have that sister relationship, and watching my husband go through it is even worse," Traci said.
For a case, like Chris and Rebecca's, legal costs can range from five thousand to 50 thousand dollars.
"If we could afford it, I would leave today and go and see her, and the kids would come with us," said Chris.
He says this is a fight he will never give up on.
"I want my daughter in my life, I'm going to have my daughter in my life, and I'm not going to stop until I get my daughter in my life."
In some cases, the American Bar Association's Military Pro Bono program can help.
Soldiers need to contact their JAG office to find out.

New polls: Zimmerman verdict divides Americans along racial lines
SCfan clearfield, UTJuly 23, 2013 11:26 a.m.
The trouble with this case was it was not one for the civil rights community to hang its hat on. If a huge group of black Americans wanted a guilty verdict, it was because they wanted vengance, not justice. Anyone who looks at the Zimmerman trial and acknowledges the evidence will see that in no way was there NOT "reasonable doubt". This was a murder trial and a jury had to see evidence beyond reasonable doubt to send a man to prison for murder. The jury did their job. It is very troubling that so large a portion of the black community didn't want the system to work. Obama should address that issue, because it will inform juries, justice, and the entire legal system in America if it is not addressed. I would love to know if Obama (supposedly a law school grad) thinks Zimmerman should have been convicted. Sad, but I believe he does. I wonder if Holder does too.

10CC not to belittle your experiences but what do I get to attribute my son's being pulled over more than 50 times in a three year period. No time was he issued a ticket, driving family cars. DWW?
Beverly Eden, UTJuly 23, 2013 9:14 a.m.
Look closely at the research from the National Institute of Justice. 52% of the people in America's prisons are African American. African Americans make up just under 13% of the U.S. population. Only 5% of the people in prison are women, and half of the 13% are women - so 6.5% is making up 50+% of those in prison. Keep in mind, one third (33%) of the 13% of African Americans are children under the age of 18. If the U.S. Department of Justice figures are correct, we have just over 4% of America's population accounting for 50% of those in prison.
Our decisions, driven by fear and retribution, have led to longer and longer prison sentences. Instead of looking for solutions to this problem, we continue to place more and more African American males in prison. It cost more to send a person to prison than it costs to send a person to BYU. We push for harsher punishments, blame the "liberal courts" and fail to address the actual causes.
Willie Saint George, UTJuly 23, 2013 7:34 a.m.
By design, and in step with the goals of the current administration, they are using any situation possible to push their agenda. The purpose of forcing GZ to be charged in this incident was to initiate marches and possible riots across the US to keep racial tension alive. Even though they had to make stuff up to get to this point, it worked. Instead of having a president taking charge to stop the rally's and marches, he is actually helping to keep them fueled. It's been a very disturbing display of inept leadership by Barack Obama. But it's all part of their playbook.
SoCalChris Riverside, CAJuly 22, 2013 10:30 p.m.
I believe the real divide is along party lines for some strange reason. The stats in this piece appear to back that up. It seems to me that the dissatisfied vs satisfied breakdown roughly parallels the split between liberal and conservative in each of the racial groups.
10CC Bountiful, UTJuly 22, 2013 9:25 p.m.
My wife is African American, and I have 3 sons who are biracial. They've all had encounters with the police that can only be described using the common African American euphemism, "DWB", or "driving while black". Even their white friends exclaim that they've done the same things, in front of police, and not been pulled over.
In conversing with other African Americans, this phenomenon is widespread (although thankfully we no longer have lynchings, so that is progress).
White America (including myself) do not experience what African Americans go through, but I see it through my family, and there is definitely a difference.
TimeHasCome King, WAJuly 22, 2013 7:59 p.m.
Great and timely article . I will be the first to say it . The black/white relationship is gone . As much as I dislike quoting Vladimir Lenin sometimes he is correct . He said " There are decades where nothing changes and then there are weeks where decades change ". Folks last week was one of those weeks . This country is deeply divided the numbers prove that out.
We live in a minority area outside of Utah . The grocery store where my wife shops and has been shopping for years has changed. I now must accompany my wife because she is afraid . It's the little things , like stares or blocking the aisle or the checkers refusing to check her out . Anecdotal you say? Hardly this is going on all across this once great country.

Gas price hype.
It is spring and gas prices are rising and so is the hype surrounding price. Analysts and pundits, caught up in a rash of gas price exuberance, are making wild claims of almost $4 a gallon. While in the world of oil anything I suppose is possible, the truth is there is practically no valid reason to make that assumption. As Bloomberg news and the Energy Information Agency pointed out last week, gasoline tumbled on speculation that supplies will be adequate to meet demand as refiner's ramp up production for the summer driving season. The Energy Department reported that refineries accelerated rates to a six-month high last week. Total fuel demand fell 0.6% to 18.9 million barrels a day. The department forecast April 6 that summer gasoline demand growth will be slower than in 2009 because of higher pump prices. At the same time gas demand is weak. Gasoline demand during the summer will increase 0.5% above a year earlier, lower than the 0.8% growth rate in 2009 because, "the stimulus to demand from the continuing modest economic recovery is constrained" by higher prices at the pump, the Energy Department said. The EIA forecasts that regular-grade motor gasoline retail prices will average $2.92 per gallon during this summer's driving season (the period between April 1 and Sept. 30), up from $2.44 per gallon last summer. The forecast has the annual average regular grade retail gasoline price increasing from $2.35 per gallon in 2009 to $2.84 in 2010 and to $2.96 in 2011, primarily because of projected rising crude oil prices. Average U.S. pump prices for regular gasoline are likely to exceed $3 per gallon at times during the driving season, and already exceed $3 per gallon in some areas. Projected annual average retail diesel fuel prices are forecast at $2.95 and $3.12 per gallon in 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Besides that if we are going to get to $4 a gallon gas we have to get to $3.00 a gallon first. Oh sure according to AAA last week gas prices hit the highest level since Oct. 22, 2008 yet they are still shy of the $3 mark coming in at a nationwide average of $2.862 per gallon. Yes I know in certain parts of the country prices are above $3.00 a gallon yet if you're going to make a blanket prediction across the nation, the nationwide average is the one you will use. Gasoline demand during the summer according to the report will increase 0.5% above a year earlier, lower than the 0.8% growth rate in 2009 because, "the stimulus to demand from the continuing modest economic recovery is constrained" by higher prices at the pump according to the EIA. So don't cancel your vacation just yet.
Still I have to admit I was wrong about which way oil was going to break out as the seasonal tendencies and the lack of concern over increasing interest rates helped feed oil into a higher trading range. Still despite the breakout and the lack of fiscal responsibility, I still believe that the upside might not be as explosive as it could have been. The situation in Greece helped temper the bullish enthusiasm as well as last week's bulging inventories. Though technically oil has the green light to move higher, it still may face some macroeconomic headwinds. We still feel the best way to trade it is by playing the range.

Frayed Knights - Indie Bundle
The Rampant Coyote announces on his website that his RPG Frayed Knights is part of a new bundle. Here are the details.
Dan "Indie" Long has hand-picked some favorite games (including the Cognition series, which he worked on) for inclusion in a pretty fun game bundle. Frayed Knights: The Skull of S'makh-Daon is one of the second tier features, available for those who pay more than $5 for the bundle. A portion of the proceeds go to charity – in this case, the Southern Oregon Humane Society.
A fellow Utah Indie is also featured in the bundle – "Asteria" by Brian Livingston (and friends…). It's a 2D platform sandbox game with tons of crafting, and a mix of hand-crafted and procedurally generated content. It's a very cool game.
The bundle also includes the first two episodes of Cognition, 99 Levels to Hell, 99 Spirits, Sky Nations (sort of a Minecraft meets Steampunk multiplayer game), QuestRun, Pyroclysm (a bonus game now unlocked),
I believe this is about the second time I've purchased my own game in a bundle…
The Indie Bundle – Hand Picked by Dan Long, AKA "Indie"
Cool games, and the bundle is well on the way to the third bonus already. Check it out! I know, bundle deals are pretty common these days, but hey – you can send the games as a gift for the season, and also support charity!

Review of The House of the Long Shadows, Directed by Pete Walker
Sure, Wuthering Heights was fine for its day, but the modern novel has progressed beyond that. In fact, these days anyone with even a tiny bit of talent could sit down and crank out that sort of gothic tripe in less than a day! At least, so claims modernist writer Kenneth McGee—an author interested only in telling the truth and making money (not necessarily in that order). But when his publisher bets McGee that he can't write such a novel in 24 hours, McGee (played by Desi Arnaz, Jr.) finds himself seeking the appropriate writing atmosphere in an abandoned mansion. And atmosphere he gets in spades, when Grand Moff Tarkin, Saruman, Kung Fu's Dad, and Vincent Price all show up at that same house on that same dark and stormy night. Awesomeness ensues in the otherwise obscure film The House of the Long Shadows (the only film featuring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, John Carradine, and Vincent Price).
If you couldn't tell from the description above, this movie has more plot twists than a belly dancer's torso. Just when we think we've got a handle on the plot, Peter Cushing reminds us of the "tewwibwe suffewing" he's gone through. Or Vincent Price sweeps in, gives a monologue on decay, and much to the viewer's delight verbally slaps down Desi Arnaz, Jr ("Don't interrupt me whilst I'm soliloquizing!). Or Christopher Lee rolls his eyes in frustration at the squatters on what will soon be his shopping mall. Or, well, you get the point. It turns out that movie does in fact have as much complexity as Wuthering Heights, if not always the same literary quality.
Despite the fact that this is a campy horror flick from the 80s, it actually makes a point that Christians have a vested interest in hearing. The character development McGee goes through (which admittedly is far beyond Arnaz's acting range—the whole time you can't help but think that we should see a lot less of him and a lot more of any of the other actors in the film) is basically the realization that the old gothic stories are just as good as anything modern writers put out today.The obvious parallel in The House of the Long Shadows is with film. True, horror movies in the 80s are different than they were in the 50s and 60s, but that doesn't mean that we should just dismiss the classics. Cushing, Lee, Carradine, and Price made movies that we just as good as anything cranked out by a Wes Craven, a Sam Raimi, or a John Carpenter. (A point which I suspect Craven, Raimi, and Carpenter would all agree with.) Just as novels of the past are as good as novels of the present, so we shouldn't dismiss the quality of yesterday's horror just because times and technology have changed.
But what does this have to do with Christians? I think that in the modern Evangelical world, we all too quickly rush to embrace whatever happens to be new. The new book by the celebrity pastor, the new meaning discovered in Paul, a new way of applying the Old Testament law to everyday life. Time and again we grab on to a belief just because it's five minutes younger than the one we held yesterday. And while there certainly are good books being written, good theology being developed, and good application coming from the best modern preachers, none of this means that we should dismiss the beliefs of the past. In fact, those beliefs are not only just as good as but may even be better than anything being thought up today.
So here's my formal suggestion, with all the weight and authority I can put behind it (lots of weight, not much actual authority): we should never believe anything that hasn't been believed by a dead Christian. This of course means that we need to be reading books by dead Christians, and mulling them over, and talking about them with other Christians, and working very hard at developing a solid interpretation of Scripture. If the heart of Christianity is the historical life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (and it is), then it makes sense that we are not the only generation who knows the truth, and that there is much we can learn from those who have gone before us.
So enjoy a good classic horror movie, but enjoy good classic theology as well. You be richly blessed by both!

You'll just have tu go back and get a photo of the whole fireplace, laura!!
Nice photo, anyway!!
Cool shot LJ. We had a facility in Edinburg which I never got to see. My loss.
Very nice Laurajane. I love a roaring fire in a fireplace. It always makes a room so nice and toasty.
I absolutely LOVE this!
Very nice!!! Thanks, LJ!
Aww, chickie, thanks. If I had just gotten up and taken a photo from across the room, you'd see the gorgeous fireplace with a raging fire and all the nice Christmas decorations. But, alas, I didn't. Sigh...
Love the photo! Belongs on a Christmas card.
Yes, QB, it is part of the castle. A room with an outside door along the side of the castle was converted into a coffee shop. These decorations were over the fireplace. Why I didn't take a photo of the whole fireplace and decorations, I'll never know. Thanks, QB, Ank and Celeste!
Nice wreath :)
Part of castle? Thanks for showing! :)

Of predator and prey
A delicate predator-prey balance exists in the Carrizo Plain National Monument. Coyotes, foxes, snakes and raptors rely on the abundance of smaller birds, ground squirrels and other rodents. The rodents and birds rely on the abundance of insects and plant life, and these in turn rely on annual rain fall. In years of little rain, such as this year, population numbers of many species will likely be reduced.

Boko Haram Laments Snake Bites & Spiritual Attacks Inside Sambisa Forest
June 26, 2014 – Boko Haram Terrorists Flee Sambisa Forest , Lament Increased Snake Bites & Spiritual Attacks
- Chibok People Have Turned Into Snake… They bite and disappear
- There Are Too Many Snakes Inside Sambisa Forest
The judgement of God is gradually coming upon Boko Haram terrorists using the dreaded Sambisa forest as their hideout.
As we speak, there is confusion in their camp over increased snake bites.
The confused terrorists alleged that Chibok people whom they attacked have turned into snakes and they've started biting and killing them.
Two of the terrorists who allegedly fled from the thick forest were arrested in Maiduguri yesterday.
Read Kolo Mustapha and Umar Abor confessions;
"Most of us are fleeing because there are too many snakes now in the forest, once they bite, they disappeared and the victims do not last 24 hours. We were told that the people of Chibok local government are the ones turning into snakes and attacking us in the forest," Mustapha said.
"We are pleading with them to spare our lives, we were forced into the sect, but we know that, it is not the right way. I personally have never killed anyone, but my friend (Abor) has killed people," Mustapha said.
But Abor said that Mustapha was lying, noting that all of them have participated in killing of people at various times. "We have fought together since 2010, we have fought in Marte, Bama, Buni Yadima and Gwoza. We were not in Chibok, we have not seen the girls but we heard about it. Our leaders have been talking about it and we have been following all the news from the radio," he disclosed.
See confusion!!! They have killed over 500,000 innocent civilians since 2010 now they are pleading for mercy…..#nemesis

A DARLINGTON mother has offered a cash reward for the return of her family's much-loved pet parrot, after it went missing from home.
Four-year-old African Grey parrot Donnie flew out of his home in Russell Street, off Haughton Road, Darlington, on Wednesday (June 18) evening.
He belongs to Nichola Preston and her family, but is looked after by other family members as he can inflame her twin daughters' asthma.
Loading article content
Mrs Preston said: "He is not caged during the day, as it's nice for them to be able to fly around.
"Unfortunately, a door has been accidentally left open and he has got out.
"His wings have not been clipped, so he is able to fly, although I don't know how far."
Mrs Preston named the bird after Donnie Wahlberg, her favourite member of the US band New Kids on the Block.
He was given to her as a wedding present in 2010.
She added: "He is different shades of grey and has red on his tail.
"He talks a bit and can bite people who he is not familiar with.
"My children love him and they are able to visit him.
"He is still part of our family unit, even though he doesn't live with us any more.
"We are all so upset."
Mrs Preston is asking Darlington residents to check for Donnie in their gardens and bushes, in trees and under cars.
She has also posted a number of appeals on social media and is hopeful of a positive outcome.
Anyone who can help is asked to call Mrs Preston on 07841-424-840.

Commissioner Bales appointed to national committee
Glen Whitley, president of the National Association of Counties, has re-appointed Douglas County Commissioner Bev Bales to the National Committee of Programs and Services.
The Douglas County Board also approved Bales to serve on this committee this year.
The purpose of the committee is to help the officers and the board of directors with recommendations about the need for new member programs and services and the effectiveness of new or existing association member programs and services.
The committee works closely with the membership committee, whose purpose is to help recruit and retain members of NACo and to develop programs and services designed to increase membership. All 87 Minnesota counties belong to NACo.
NACo is a membership organization, comprised of county officials from across the country. The primary goal is to help county officials and staff better serve their constituents through legislative action, conferences, grants, training, research information and other programs and services.
A recent program is the Discount National Drug Program. Bales led the Energy Star Program for Douglas County and its participation won first in the nation for counties under 50,000 population.
"I'm pleased to again serve on this committee," said Bales. "With the use of webinars, conference calls and e-mails, the need for travel is cut to a minimum, which saves many dollars to the county, yet allowing for a great exchange of ideas and information to be realized."

During the past 48H I am trying to buy content in the SEN (or Playstation network).
I keep receiving error 80023102
I have seen this error has been the subject of several threads around here in March, which seems to have been consolidated then solved under this thread by SuperFastZombie:
This fix is NOT working here; I cannot complete any purchase or load my wallet.
For reference, the titles I am trying to purchase are:
- I am alive
- The walking dead season pass
The card in my profile is a VISA credit card.
The numbers are correctly entered in my profile in the sonyentertainmentnetwork.com site
I cannot either add funds in the wallet or make a purchase in the store
What is your advise?
Thank you
Thank you for your answer,
I certainly have access to internet via the PS3 if this is what you mean.
The PSN store displays currently promoted content, and I can login the PSN store.
I can download trial games (DEMO), but not upgrade them to full content.
Is there an area where consumer can send support ticket to get support?
This method of posting in forums like sending message in the bottle and hoping for an answer seems sub optimal.
I have been looking around, and couldn't find it: only forums and FAQ.
It would be so great if customers could get support by SONY representatives who can access accounts details, history and advise on what to do for quick resolution.
It doesn't seems the PSN is strategic for SONY entertainment.
Edit: sent a note to email@example.com and email@example.com
Hope this helps getting some traction
Thanks for you answer.
I checked this before initial post.
CC data is OK, CC is valid: I use it for purchases on daily basis.
Sony hasn't responded to this thread or my emails.
I don't think they need customers.
I will acquire these games through other means.
I feel sorry for game developers, victims of Sony's apathy
No need to make threats!
If you want a fast response from Sony, you're best contacting customer support directly over the phone. Their numbers are available here.
Thank you for your answer.
Don't misread threats where they aren't: read a tough journey to be a customer.
It might help ensuring you surface these support method per phone; can't find them here:
Faster turnaround in forums or emails would be appreciated too.
I will be contacting the support method you provided
I opened 3 support tickets: each time I receive a standard answer that doesn't really help me move forward, and the case is closed.
The root cause to this error message is Sony enforcing a policy where you can't make payments if your card is issued from another country where you registered your account to.
My account is registered in France, my credit card from Luxembourg, therefore I can't be a customer.
I have a new job since one year and crossed the border: I moved from France to Luxembourg (50km away).
Also, Sony doesn't enable to change country in account settings.
Users can't do this update, employees on the support ticket can't either.
I don't understand this policy: other companies selling retail goods (like Amazon) or digital goods (like travel tickets or Valve) doesn't enforce this.
Sony, why do you make it so hard to use the PSN (or SEN)?
Agreed for Amazon ... although they are also selling music.
But Valve would fall into this digital content distributor bucket and still doesn't do this. Other examples in this.
At the end of the day I am very dissapointed at Sony's focus on customer satisfaction:
1- they could have done a much better job at their error message to cut short all confusion: that same error # says "can't process transaction". The interesting questions are why, and what can we do about this.
2- they could have surfaced support methods (phone, email) on their site
3- the support per email could largely be improved
If Sony had a monopolistic situation I'ld shrug it and reach out to open a FR bank account or a Sony payment card, but it's far from being the case so I'm giving up and getting this digital content by other means.
1- customer facing error notification
I know this error message represents a multitude of different error. This is precisely the issue I am speaking of!
On Sony's side the payment didn't work, they could certainly tell more precisely why.
Text for error description doesn't fit on screen? Not a problem, just create more error numbers to ensure each problem has its error number. Then provide a translator error number/english to ensure a player can find his way through.
2- support
Not OK with how easy support method are displayed. This is the support site: http://lu.playstation.com/psn/support/
The big fat option featured is forums, just after FAQ. The customer service on the side is for hardware support, doesn't seem to apply for PSN (at least to me).
I don't see a list of phone numbers or emails ... or a web form for opening a support ticket.
Dealing with lots of support request also means they have plenty of customers and should staff accordingly. Plenty of large corporations face similar volume.
Additionaly since Sony kind of suck at point #1, they are doing their best to ensure they receive a lot of customer requests: I'm a perfect example of this. I got a generic error "payment doesn't work". I can't tell if it's permanent or not,and what's the root cause without engaging in forums and support.
3- account
That is very interesting advise, thanks!
I wans't aware that creating a new account would enable me to keep my stuff: I thought this was like steam: new account=new gamelist.
So I can keep games, saves, everything from my account and create a second one that also has all his stiff?
Or do I need to switch accounts depending on the game I want to play?
In any case, what's the point then of this "you can't change country" policy?
I can create an account for any country I want and still get the digital content.
Even if they check IP, we have so many VPN since the last decade, that this whole thing just doesn't add up.
this account thing seems really complex... I read your post a couple of time, not sure I understand all you mean...
Error message, re-compile the OS? Probably, but this is the price to pay if it wasn't done correctly the first time.
They went high-level for error codes and it's not customer centric to ensure he can act on the data displayed on screen.
When building software, you can also have it very laconicaly display a single error code sayingerror 00001: "doesn't work". I'm taking an extreme here, but you get the picture. Yes it would need to recompile the code and gets in some work to provide a finer set of granularity in error codes.
I would imagine that providing some hints to buyers stuck in the last steps of checkout would be a low hanging fruit.
I hope Sony is collecting some data as to which error codes pops-out the most and try to break down this error code into sub-buckets to help it's customer.
Anyway, I don't think I'm smart enough to be a customer here, all this situation is very complex.
A console is for me the path to easy access to game and entertainment. All this kind of defeats the purpose.
Thank you for your time
well, i get this and comes to adding funds, everythign ihave is in put in right etc, i just bought like dlc like last week and now i cnt put funds in to be able to purchase ps1 LoD :(
im in canada, and i have yet to see any $10 cards anywhere.. only $25 and $50 ones..

Doctoral research PhD titleA critical review of Roman-Dutch law as a source of law in Zimbabwe with special focus on its interplay with customary law.SupervisorProfessor Nelson EnonchongCourseLaw PhD / PhD by Distance Learning / MPhil / MJur Research The law to be administered by the Supreme Court, the High Court and any courts in Zimbabwe is provided for in the Constitution of Zimbabwe. This provides for the application of both the law received at colonization and also customary law (mainly applicable to indigenous Zimbabweans.) As a result Zimbabwe is considered a plural legal jurisdiction. Although the constitution of Zimbabwe does not specifically mention Roman-Dutch as the law that was received at colonization it is generally accepted that it is the law that was in force in the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope on 10 June 1891, with some graftings of English law. The aim of the study is to review the current status of Roman-Dutch law as a source of law in Zimbabwe and to assess its application and continued relevance as a source. Given that Roman-Dutch law is part of the general law of Zimbabwe special focus will also be given to its relationship with customary law, often noted to be problematic due to conflict of law problems inherent in legal pluralistic jurisdictions. Other activities I am registered as a Legal Practitioner in Zimbabwe and I am a member of the Law Society of Zimbabwe. I am also registered as a Solicitor in England & Wales and I am a member of the Law Society of England & Wales. I remain entitled to practice both in Zimbabwe and in England & Wales.

MONTREAL -- Pauline Marois has defended a Parti Quebecois candidate who compared baptism and circumcision to rape.
Louise Mailloux, who is running for the PQ in the Montreal riding of Gouin, has also written in the past that a tax on kosher and halal foods helps to fund religious wars.
Mailloux, who is a philosophy professor, made the rape comparison in an essay on religious neutrality. It appeared in the book, Laïcité ça s'impose!, that was published in 2011.
Mailloux made clear this week that she stands by the statement.
Marois told journalists that Mailloux "is an eloquent writer...I respect her point of view."
"She is a supporter of our charter on religious neutrality and we appreciate her support."

Computex 2015: Micron Announces 16nm TLC For Consumer SSDs
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | June 2, 2015 - 11:47 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: tlc, ssd, micron, flash, computex 2015, computex, 16nm
Chugging right along that TechInsights Flash Roadmap we saw last year, Micron has announced the TLC extension to their 16nm flash memory process node.
While 16nm TLC was initially promised Q4 of 2014, I believe Micron distracted themselves a little with their dabbles into Dynamic Write Acceleration technology. No doubt wanting to offer ever more cost effective SSDs to their portfolio, the new TLC 16nm flash will take up less die space for the same capacity, meaning more dies per 300mm wafer, ultimately translating to lower cost/GB of consumer SSDs.
Micron's 16nm (MLC) flash
The Crucial MX200 and BX100 SSDs have already been undercutting the competition in cost/GB, so the possibility of even lower cost SSDs is a more than welcome idea - just so long as they can keep the reliability of these parts high enough. IMFT has a very solid track record in this regard, so I don't suspect any surprises in that regard.
Full press blast appears after the break.
Computex 2015: OCZ Trion and Z-Drive 6000, 6300 SSDs Sighted
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | June 2, 2015 - 11:18 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: Z-Drive 6300, Z-Drive 6000, Trion, ssd, pcie, OCZ Technology, ocz, NVMe, computex 2015, computex
OCZ is showing off some new goodies at Computex 2015 in the form of a completely new SSD model – the Trion:
The Trion is based on an in-house Toshiba 'Alishan' controller – the first internal design from that company. Since it is sourced from within Toshiba, the new SSD controller is to be tuned for consumer workloads and should employ lower power states than prior OCZ / Indilinx SSD controllers, as well as Toshiba's own proprietary QSBC (Quadruple Swing-By Code) error correction technology, which should squeeze a bit more usable life out of the A19nm TLC flash. This is what QSBC looks like compared to competing BCH and LDPC technologies:
We suspect Toshiba dialed back the algorithm a bit for client usage, but it should still be far superior to BCH. We don't have many more details as the Trion has not yet been officially launched, but we do have this shot of a round of benchmark results from a pre-production 960GB model:
From what we can see, it appears to be a good performer (by modern SATA 6Gb/sec SSD standards), but we naturally can't tell anything for sure until we get samples in for local testing, as we have no idea of the state of preconditioning of the Trion in those tests.
Also on display were the recently launched Z-Drive 6000 and 6300 Series parts:
These are OCZ's enterprise-grade NVMe devices, available in 800GB, 1.6TB, and 3.2TB. The 6000 series is a 2.5" 15mm SFF-8639 device aimed at lighter workloads with a rating of 1 Drive Write Per Day (DWPD) over a 5-year period, while the 6300 series brings that figure up to 3 DWPD and offers an HHHL PCIe card as an optional form factor. The higher writes per day are facilitated by the move to A19nm eMLC flash.
We'll be keeping a close eye on these new developments from OCZ and we are eager to get these in the shop for some thorough testing!
Press blast for the Trion and Z-Drive 6300 Series after the break!
A substantial upgrade for Thunderbolt
Today at Computex, Intel took the wraps off of the latest iteration of Thunderbolt, a technology that I am guessing many of you thought was dead in the water. It turns out that's not the case, and this new set of features that Thunderbolt 3 offers may in fact push it over the crest and give it the momentum needed to become a useable and widespread standard.
First, Thunderbolt 3 starts with a new piece of silicon, code named Alpine Ridge. Not only does Alpine Ridge increase the available Thunderbolt bandwidth to 40 Gbps but it also adds a native USB 3.1 host controller on the chip itself. And, as mobile users will be glad to see, Intel is going to start utilizing the new USB Type-C (USB-C) connector as the standard port rather than mini DisplayPort.
This new connector type, that was already a favorite among PC Perspective staff because of its size and its reversibility, will now be the way connectivity and speed increases this generation with Thunderbolt. This slide does a good job of summarizing the key take away from the TB3 announcement: 40 Gbps, support for two 4K 60 Hz displays, 100 watt (bi-directional) charging capability, 15 watt device power and support for four protocols including Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, USB and PCI Express.
Protocol support is important and Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C will be able to connect directly to a DisplayPort monitor, to an external USB 3.1 storage drive, an old thumb drive or a new Thunderbolt 3 docking station. This is truly unrivaled flexibility from a single connector. The USB 3.1 controller is backward compatible as well: feel free to connect any USB device to it that you can adapt to the Type-C connection.
From a raw performance perspective Thunderbolt 3 offers a total of 40 Gbps of bi-directional bandwidth, twice that of Thunderbolt 2 and 4x what we get with USB 3.1. That offers users the ability to combine many different devices, multiple displays and network connections and have plenty of headroom.
With Thunderbolt 3 you get twice as much raw video bandwidth, two DP 1.2 streams, allowing you to run not just a single 4K display at 60 Hz but two of them, all over a single TB3 cable. If you want to connect a 5K display though, you will be limited to just one of them.
For mobile users, which I think is the area where Thunderbolt 3 will be the most effective, the addition of USB 3.1 allows for charging capability up to 100 watts. This is in addition to the 15 watts of power that Thunderbolt provides to devices directly - think external storage, small hubs/docks, etc.

Killer Networking has developed several networking solutions, focused on gamers, over the last decade or so. Ryan reviewed their first product way back in 2006, and he found it had some merit but struggled when quantifying it, especially to the price tag that it bore. Many years later, Qualcomm picked them up and their technology found a few design wins, especially with Gigabyte motherboards. They also branched out into wireless networking, a segment that undeniably could benefit from innovation. They are also, now, under the Rivet Networks brand, which is listed as an "Authorized Design Center" for Qualcomm.
Today, they are announcing the Killer Wireless-AC 1535 Networking Adapter. This brings their technology to the 802.11ac standard. It includes features like DoubleShow Pro, which allows Windows to balance network traffic between wireless and wired networks. It also allows the user to monitor their wireless traffic, even providing an interface to throttle or outright disable certain applications from using the internet. They are mostly promoting their "ExtremeRange" technology, which uses the MU-MIMO standard of 802.11ac, along with beamforming and two signal amplifiers, to provide high bandwidth at longer ranges.
The Killer Wireless-AC 1535 has received a few design wins, this time with MSI. It will be available in the MSI GT72 and MSI GT80 gaming laptops, as well as the MSI X99A GODLIKE GAMING motherboard. Thankfully, they are not adopting MSI's love of uppercase letters.
Computex 2015: Intel Announces Quad-Core Broadwell for Desktop, Mobile
Subject: Processors, Shows and Expos | June 2, 2015 - 11:10 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: Intel, computex 2015, computex, Broadwell
Earlier this morning you saw us post a story about MSI updating its line of 20 notebooks with new Broadwell processors. Though dual-core Broadwell has been available for Ultrabooks and 2-in-1s for some time already, today marks the release of the quad-core variations we have been waiting on for some time. Available for mobile designs, as well as marking the very first Iris Pro graphics implementation for desktop users, Broadwell quad-core parts look to be pretty impressive.
Today Intel gives to the world a total 10 new processors for content creators and enthusiasts. Two of these parts are 65 watt SKUs in LGA packaging for use by enthusiasts and DIY builders. The rest are BGA designs for all-in-one PCs and high performance notebooks and include both 65 watt and 47 watt variants. And most are using the new Iris Pro Graphics 6200 implementation.
For desktop users, we get the Core i7-5775C and the Core i5-5675C. The Core i7 model is a quad-core, HyperThreaded CPU with a base clock of 3.3 GHz and a max Turbo clock of 3.7 GHz. It's unlocked so that overclockers and can mess around with them in the same way do with Haswell. The Iris Pro Graphics 6200 can scale up to 1150 MHz and rated DDR3L memory speeds are up to 1600 MHz. 6MB of L3 cache, a 65 watt TDP and a tray price of $366 round out the information we have.

The Core i5-5675C does not include HyperThreading, has clock speed ranges of 3.1 GHz to 3.6 GHz and only sees the Iris Pro scale to 1100 MHz. Also, it drops from 6MB of L3 cache to 4MB. Pricing on this model will start a $276.
These two processors mark the first time we have seen Iris Pro graphics in a socketed form factor, something we have been asking Intel to offer for at least a couple of generations. They focused on 65 watt TDPs rather than anything higher mostly because of the target audience for these chips: if you are interested in the performance of integrated graphics then you likely are pushing a small form factor design or HTPC of some kind. If you have a Haswell-capable motherboard then you SHOULD be able to utilize one of these new processors though you'll want a Z97 board if you are going to try to overclock it.
From a performance standpoint, the Core i7-5775C will offer 2x the gaming performance, 35% faster video transcoding and 20% higher compute performance when compared to the previous top-end 65 watt Haswell part, the Core i7-4790S. That 4th generation part uses Intel HD Graphics 4600 that does not include the massive eDRAM that makes Iris Pro implementations so unique.
For mobile and AIO buyers, Intel has a whole host of new processors to offer. You'll likely find most of the 65 watt parts in all-in-one designs but you may see some mobile designs that go crazy and opt for them too. For the rest of the gaming notebook designs there are CPUs like the Core i7-5950HQ, a quad-core HyperThreaded part with a base clock of 2.9 GHz and max Turbo clock of 3.8 GHz inside a TDP of 47 watts. The Iris Pro Graphics 6200 will scale from 300 to 1150 MHz so GPU performance should basically be on par with the desktop 65-watt equivalent. Pricing is pretty steep though: starting at $623.
Click to Enlarge
These new processors, especially the new 5950HQ, offer impressive compute and gaming performance.
Compared to the Core i7-5600U, already available and used in some SFF and mobile platforms, the Core i7-5950HQ is 2.5x faster in SPECint and nearly 2x faster in a video conversion benchmark. Clearly these machines are going to be potent desktop replacement options.
For mainstream gamers, the Iris Pro Graphics 6200 on 1920x1080 displays will see some impressive numbers. Players of League of Legends, Heroes of the Storm and WoW will see over 60 FPS at the settings listed in the slide above.
We are still waiting for our hardware to show up but we have both the LGA CPUs and notebooks using the BGA option en route. Expect testing from PC Perspective very soon!
Google I/O 2015: Android OS M Revealed
Subject: Mobile, Shows and Expos | May 29, 2015 - 03:42 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Android, google, google io, google io 2015
I'll be honest with you: I did not see a whole lot that interested me out of the Google I/O keynote. The company released a developer preview of their upcoming Android OS "M", which refers to the thirteenth alphabetical release (although only eleven were formally lettered because they started with "C"upcake). Version nomenclature aside, this release is supposed to tune the experience. While the platform could benefit from a tune-up, it is also synonymous with not introducing major features.
But some things are being added, including "Google Now on Tap". The idea is that Google will understand what is happening on screen and allow the user to access more information about it. In a demo on Engadget, the user was looking at scores for the Golden State Warriors. She asked "When are they playing next", actually using the pronoun "they", and the phone brought up their next game (it was against the Cavaliers).
Fingerprint reading and Android Pay are also being added to this release.
Other than that, it is mostly performance and usability. One example is "Doze State", which allows the OS to update less frequently when the device is inactive. It is supposed to play nice with alarms and notifications though, which is good. Normally, I would wait to see if it actually works before commenting on it, but this seems like something that would only be a problem if no-one thought of it. Someone clearly did, because they apparently mentioned it at the event.
Android M, whatever it will actually be called, is expected to ship to consumers in the Fall.
Hands-On with the Lenovo Magic View Dual-Screen Smartwatch Concept
Subject: General Tech, Mobile, Shows and Expos | May 28, 2015 - 02:04 AM | Ken Addison
Shortly after the keynote at Lenovo Tech World today,we got hands on with the Dual-Screen Smartwatch concept, the Magic View.
The Magic View is an Android Wear device, which integrates a unique "virtual interactive display" via a small prism on the watch band. Users must bring the device up to their face and look through the prism to see a secondary display for tasks such as video viewing.
Looking inside the Magic View reminded us a lot of Google Glass. As you put your eye up to the prism on the watch band, you could see what looked like a display off in the distance. It was difficult to determine the relative size, but Lenovo claims this display is 20x bigger than the display on the smartwatch itself. Resolution was also undetermined, but it seemed to be low and about on par with the original Google Glass units.
The device itself was a bit warm and the additional display unit added some bulk, but these weren't immediate deal breakers. The design was still ergonomic and seemed like something that you wouldn't have an issue wearing all-day long.
This is definitely an early concept, but the fact that Lenovo are showing off demo units here means that they are serious about the ideas presented in the Magic View. If additional development can solve some of the heat issues, it seems like this would be a feature that doesn't detract from the core use of the device and can provide a potentially value new interaction method.
Lenovo Tech World: Magic View Smartwatch and Smart Cast Smartphone concepts shown
Subject: General Tech, Mobile, Shows and Expos | May 27, 2015 - 10:55 PM | Ken Addison
Tagged: wearable, tech world, smartwatch, smartphone, smart cast, magic view, lenovo tech world, Lenovo, concept
Today at the Lenovo Tech World keynote presentation, Lenovo CTO Peter Hortensius took the opportunity to show some of the far reaching concepts for smartphones and smartwatches.
The Magic View smartwatch is a stylish, round smartwatch reminiscent of the Moto 360 that seems from the concept renderings to be based around Android Wear. However, the uniqueness comes from what Lenovo is claiming makes it the only smartwatch with two screens.
Optical reflection is used inside of a portion of the strap in order to project a second "virtual interactive display" more than 20 times larger than the integrated display. This is made possible through Lenovo-designed silicon aimed at miniaturizing the components for this type of projection while maintaining the same performance.
Lenovo claims this secondary screen will be useful for things like maps, as well as photo and video viewing, but it be remains to be seen if users would favor a virtual display like this over simply using their existing smartphone display. Privacy is also a big part of what Lenovo is pitching with the Magic View. Since users must place the lens portion next to their eye, other people in the same area cannot look over their shoulders and view potientially sensitive information.
The Lenovo Smart Cast concept plays on a similar idea as the Magic View. Through the use of a build in laser projector, as well as specialized sensors, Lenovo aims at allowing users to project a large virtual touch screen onto tabletop surfaces.
With the use of infrared sensors, users can touch the surface underneath the projection and interact just as if it were a physical display. Lenovo points towards this being useful for such applications as virtual keyboards in productivity apps, or even for media control of projected movies and light gaming such as Fruit Ninja.
The projected display is also independent of the smartphone display, allowing things such as two separate views for video chatting applications.
It remains to be seen if these concepts will ever actually make it into production devices, and if those devices will ever hit North America, but it's always interesting to see what R&D divisions of large companies like Lenovo are up to.
Lenovo Tech World: REACHit Announced with Cortana
Subject: General Tech, Shows and Expos | May 27, 2015 - 10:00 PM | Ken Addison
Tagged: windows 10, reachit, microsoft, Lenovo, cortana
Yesterday during briefings at Lenovo's North Campus just outside of Beijing, the Contextual Computing group took the opportunity to discuss their unique integration of a technology called REACHit with Cortana on Windows 10.
REACHit is an indexing program that Lenovo has developed which is aimed at helping users find their documents among many different services and contexts. Once you authenticate REACHit with your accounts such as Dropbox, Box.net, Google Drive, or your local computers, Lenovo makes an index of the files which you keep there to help you more easily locate what you are looking for.
The most unique feature of REACHit comes in how you issue a search query. Lenovo has developed multiple contexts which they think will be useful in locating files, such as File Type, File Actions, Location, Calendar Events, and time frames. They are indexing the files you give them access to for these specific prompts, and hoping to present them in a more useful fashion.
One of the examples we were walked through involved the prompt, "Where is the presentation I was working on at Starbucks last week?". In this case, Lenovo is looking at the file types (PPT), whether or not a file was Saved/Opened, the geolocation which this occurred at, and the time frame at which these operations took place.
We didn't see a live demo of these searches working, and haven't had hands-on time with the software yet so it's hard to say if Lenovo has succeeded at their goal, but the technology seems like an interesting solution to a common problem.
There are also security concerns about giving Lenovo access to all of your files, and letting them build an index your metadata. We have been told there is encryption being handled on Lenovo's server side, but they couldn't get into any further details about this.
REACHit at this point is purely integrated with Microsoft's Cortana in Windows 10, and there is no other option for running a search or external API access. Lenovo expects REACHit to be available at the Windows 10 launch for Lenovo machines only, and is currently opening sign-ups for the private beta at Cortanareachit.com
Blizzard Releases Overwatch Gameplay Video Ahead of E3

Tagged: overwatch, E3 2015, E3, blizzard
Various companies have begun teasing what we might see at this year's E3 expo. Blizzard has not historically had a big presence at the event, though. With the size and scope of Blizzcon, the company usually saves it announcements for then. In fact, I cannot think of a single, non-trivial thing that Blizzard did at E3 since the expo downsized after E3 2006.
This year, on the other hand, Blizzard will be present at AMD and PC Gamer's E3 show. The recent Overwatch previews could be leading up to this event, which takes place three weeks from yesterday. The recent video that I embed above, Tracer, is pretty interesting too. It shows how useful a light assault player could be if they don't obey the space-time continuum. The last two-thirds of the video show off an impressive kill streak.
Again, expect more E3 coverage leading up to the Expo on June 16th.

Overall, the tax credits — which cover up to 30 percent of a project's cost — support 183 projects in 43 states and will leverage more than $5 billion in private capital, according to the White House.
The companies selected for the projects say the federal incentives will create over 17,000 jobs and the private capital in the projects will likely support an additional 41,000 jobs, the White House said.
The program — jointly run by the Treasury and Energy departments — has received applications seeking a total of $8 billion in funding, far outstripping the $2.3 billion cap in the stimulus law.
The White House is asking Congress to provide an additional $5 billion for the program. "It is an example of something the president believes we should do more of," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Friday.
The extra money could be included as part of a job creation bill that Democrats in both chambers have vowed to pass to help bring down the unemployment rate. The House job creation bill passed last month doesn't include money for the program, but the Senate has yet to take up its version.
Administration officials say the program is aimed at ensuring the U.S. sees an economic benefit from growing efforts to deploy alternative energy sources.
"We have to ask ourselves as a country, Are we going to create those
jobs and create those components, or are we going to import those
components from overseas? The president believes we have an opportunity
to lead the world in this type of manufacturing," Gibbs said.

People move here because in Dallas they can have a house AND a baby, even if they have to pay for both!
We were told today that Dallas/Fort Worth is one of three, only THREE, U.S. metropolitan areas that have fully recovered from the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009. We are told this by those nice folks at the Brookings Institution.
Last night, I was with my husband at a major OB/GYN meeting called the Southwest Gynecologic Assembly. Think an Aspen Institute for gynos bred with a regional NAR meeting. I spoke with a physician from Southwestern who heads up the infertility department there, and I sat next to an infertility specialist in Dallas.
I guarded my eggs carefully.
Do you know what's hopping, or shall I say popping here? The infertility business in North Texas. And way busier here than in other parts of the country.
Is this because people are putting off having babies for work etc. and cannot get preggers, I asked?
No, it's because so many people are moving here, I was told. Dallas/Fort Worth added no less than 8 infertility specialists this year, 8! That's a lot of new infertility doctors in one city, certainly a lot of specialists.
The other thing this shows us is that Dallas/Fort Worth folks have some disposable income. Not too many insurance companies reimburse for infertility care, which is extremely expensive. Most people pay by cash, check or credit card. What is happening, I'm told, is that so many people are moving here from other states, we are getting an influx of young adults who want to have families and need infertility help. Some come here because our housing is more affordable, so they can have a home AND a baby rather than stay in San Fran or NYC where income just covers rent or mortgage.
Anyhow, here's the economic data from The Dallas Morning News. Output per capita (measures standard of living) fell 6.1 percent in North Texas during 2008, the worst year of the crisis. Then employment dropped 3.7 percent in 2009. But fueled by growth of financial and professional services and energy production, North Texas has stormed back to its pre-recession peak on both measures. Nanny nanny boo boo: Austin and Houston have reached their pre-recession employment levels but haven't fully recovered in terms of standard of living, as we have. In Dallas, services are very important — we are servicing growing clients, says Emilia Istrate, an associate fellow at Brookings' metropolitan policy program.
Example: all the new Dry Bar type salons opening up where you can get your hair blown out for $40 or less!
Istrate says: "GDP per capita would have risen faster in North Texas and Houston had the areas not seen such rapid population growth. North Texas' population grew 10.4 percent between 2007 and 2012, while the Houston area's rose by 11.8 percent."
Apart from Dallas/Fort Worth, with Austin and Houston dribbling behind, Pittsburgh and Knoxville, Tennessee are fully recovered patients. Go figure: natural gas drilling and output.
I'm happy, my hair is happy, and my eggs are still intact. Think I can sell them to offset legal fees?
