Full disclosure, dear readers—I'm not a TV viewer. I chucked the set years ago and mainly watch things on computers.
But then, television hasn't changed much in decades, so I feel I'm still qualified to opine on the boob tube's future. And two weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to glimpse a possible part of that future at the Santa Clara, Calif., headquarters of Intel INTC -0.31591039632395174% Intel Corp.

The service faces a number of hurdles, including potential obstruction by the cable and telephone industries, but what I witnessed could take Intel in a thrilling new direction.
Sometime this year, the chip giant will offer a set-top box at retail, with a subscription service that brings you live television over your broadband Internet connection.

WITHOUT GIVING TOO MUCH AWAY, the user interface seemed to hover beautifully above the currently playing show. An elegant simple menu made it easy to switch between channels or to pick and rent a recent film. It was light years from the cumbersome garbage that takes up most of the screen when using a standard cable-channel picker.
There was a wide array of popular channels to choose from that would be familiar to any couch potato, though the final lineup is still being formulated. Equally important, when you hit the button on the remote, the TV seemed to jump to the next channel faster than is typical on cable. There also is a time-shifting aspect that goes beyond DVR, allowing you to go back through recent episodes.
One wonders: Why hasn't TV always been this way?
Others who've viewed the project are enthusiastic, too. "The No. 1 thing I noticed was speed," says Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy. Intel's horsepower in the set-top is partially responsible for this, but multiple data centers that Intel is building to serve video also were a factor. "A lot of the value comes from what they've done on the back end," says Moorhead. "They have the highest-performance Intel servers and video-encoding technology." And he notes, "This is live television," unlike other over-the-top offerings, like those from the TV network consortium Hulu, Apple's AAPL 0.09904912836767037% Apple Inc.

"It's something I've never experienced before" in an Internet offering, Moorhead adds.
No less thrilling is the fact that Intel, which makes $53 billion in yearly revenue from selling chips, and spends billions to make them, is becoming both a hardware and software vendor.
The project is the effort of Erik Huggers and his staff of 350 people. Huggers, 40, won praise for developing the iPlayer for the BBC, a piece of video software that allows one to follow the channel's TV and radio broadcasts. He came to Intel two years ago to advance efforts to sell chips to set-top makers. He made a bold move in telling his boss that the $4.5 billion TV-chip market wasn't desirable. "The market was split up between 20 or more silicon providers, and it was a race to the bottom on prices," says Huggers. "I said, 'I don't know how we ever turn that into a profitable market.' " Instead, he pleaded, "Release me to go after the $500 billion television market in a very different way." He got his wish.
If Huggers has a hit, Intel will get not just set-top revenue, but also an annual payment stream from subscriptions, after splitting fees with content providers. It's also a smart way for the chip giant to diversify.
Numerous unknowns remain. Intel isn't disclosing the price of the box or the service. The box itself will inspire an iPhone-like techno lust, Huggers assures me, though I didn't see the final hardware. But will people be willing to pay Intel on top of paying for broadband and for Netflix, Hulu, etc.? Huggers contends that Intel's service will "surprise and delight" viewers with a constant stream of new features, making it more and more valuable to them.
More prickly is the art of the deal. In his bunker at Intel, Huggers has on his desk a bowl of genuine shark teeth. They are a reminder that in closing deals with content providers—HBO, AMC, ABC, CBS CBS -2.3072795564299766% CBS Corp. Cl B U.S.: NYSE USD54.62 -1.29 -2.3072795564299766% /Date(1411419692858-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 10944107 AFTER HOURS USD54.62 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1038206 P/E Ratio 18.70483887538098 Market Cap 28786513326.5597 Dividend Yield 1.0984987184181618% Rev. per Employee 590648 More quote details and news » (CBS), etc.—the fight for content rights can be brutal. And Intel's service must have the right channels or it just won't fly.
Huggers won't say how many partners he has signed, but, he maintains, "We see incredibly serious engagement on the part of every programmer we talk with. I feel very good about our ability to get the right terms to move forward."
But content providers are hardly the most difficult obstacle. Time Warner and Comcast both have over-the-top offerings, in the form of tablet and smartphone apps that let you watch video away from the TV set. Neither wants to lose the value running over their coaxial lines.
In a recent report, media analyst Rich Greenfield of BTIG Research wrote that some cable operators have gotten content holders to agree to what would appear to be "anticompetitive" contracts that prevent them from licensing to "classes" of distributors such as Intel.
GREENFIELD THINKS THERE ARE WAYS in which all parties can be satisfied. "If you are a content provider, why would you not want more avenues to distribution?" he asks, while noting that, for the cable operators, "selling broadband at $100 a month can be a lot more compelling, versus $50 for pay TV, especially at the very high margins of broadband versus video" if a partnership can be struck.
Huggers maintains there are "all kinds of opportunities" for incumbent broadband providers to partner with Intel.
If push comes to shove, there is precedent for the U.S. government to encourage video on new platforms. In 1992, Congress compelled the cable operators to sell affiliated programming to the new broadcast-satellite companies, notes Blair Levin, a fellow with the Aspen Institute. Says Levin: "If, in a year's time, things are going just fine" for Intel, "it diminishes the argument for government intervention" to open up the field of video distribution. "If not, well, it probably strengthens that argument."
I certainly hope that it works out for Intel; as a potential subscriber, I'm ready for it. Sometimes, even TV Luddites like to watch The Big Bang Theory.

The impact of political leaders' profession and education on reforms
AbstractThis paper analyzes whether the educational and professional background of a head of government matters for the implementation of market-liberalizing reforms. Employing panel data over the period 1970-2002, we present empirical evidence based on a novel data set covering profession and education of more than 500 political leaders from 72 countries. Our results show that reforms are more likely during the tenure of former entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs belonging to a left-wing party are more successful in inducing reforms than a member of a right-wing party with the same previous profession. Former professional scientists also promote reforms, the more so, the longer they stay in office. The impact of politicians' education is not robust and depends on the method of estimation.

1940 Census Data Reveals Kick-Ass Chrono-Neighbors « Burrito Justice →
"Take the Lynch family as an example. The family of four (two girls aged 3 and 1) lived in 3212 Mission, above what is now Mi Lindo Peru and paid $27.50 each month for rent. Charles was a fireman and made $2500 a year, or $208 a month, so his rent was just 13% of his salary. Their neighbors in 3214 were the Bamfords,originally from LA. He was a shoemaker who made $60 a month but paid $30 a month in rent. Up the street, William Catalano, 25, lived with his 23-year old wife Beatrice and their 5 year old son William Jr lived in an apartment block that was torn down a few years later to make way for the Bank of America. He was a musician, working on a "music project", pulling in $985 a year, or 82 a month, and paid $15 a month in rent."

As I enter this, my sixth year in college (or as I like to refer to it: "the scenic route" or as my father likes to refer to it: "wait, the government is still giving you money?"), I've come to the harsh realization that it's about time I start getting my life together. And with this realization in mind, I decided to compile a list of 10 goals I hope to accomplish over the course of the next school year. I'd like to share those goals with you now:
1.) Stop going to bars and telling guys that there's an after-party in my pants just to get them to buy me beer. And then, after they buy me the beer and attempt to strike up a conversation by asking me what I do, stop telling them I work at the pound and that I'm the one who puts the puppies to sleep that no one wants. All the while smiling, just so they'll leave me alone.
2.) No longer rely on my sole backup plan for passing my classes, which is currently "sleep with professor."
3.) Don't keep telling my friends that I've recently become a lesbian after a reality wake-up call from my third stint in rehab after I drunkenly ran over my personal assistant in an effort to make my life seem more interesting. I'm pretty sure they're catching on to the fact that none of that actually happened to me, but rather Lindsay Lohan.
4.) Get all of my books for class. Open all of my books for class. Read all of my books from class. Retain the information from all of my books for class. Apply the information from all of my books from class.
5.) Stop googling "Britney Spears" and "crotch shots" in my free time.
6.) Finally use the encouragement and words of advice from my English professor on my writing potential and pen that erotic romance novel I've been meaning to write.
7.) Stop donating my plasma for beer money. Start donating my plasma for wine moneyit'll make me seem more sophisticated.
8.) Spend less time at the gym. I think the people who work there are beginning to realize the real reason why I spend so much time on the stationary bike and my tumultuous relationship with the bicycle seat. And why I sometimes have to smoke a cigarette afterwards.
9.) No longer write incredibly explicit details about my personal life and put them onto public websites.
10.) End world hunger.

Owners won't raze Phoenix Wright house — for now
But developer says if the property is declared historic, he'll wait the necessary 3 years and then knock down the 1952 home.
The owners who bought the house Frank Lloyd Wright designed for his son in Phoenix have let the demolition permit expire. They say they won't reapply to raze the historic property while they wait for a buyer.
But if they don't find one — well, that's another story.
John Hoffman and Steve Sells, developers from Idaho, bought the 2,553-square-foot house this summer for $1.8 million, with plans to split the 2.13-acre lot into two, demolish the 1952-era house and build two new luxury homes on the site. "The dirt alone would be worth $1.2 to 1.4 million," Sells told The New York Times.
That plan was scotched when the city of Phoenix, which had given permission for the lot split, applied for historic designation for the property.
The developers paid $1 million less for the home then the previous owners had paid in 2009 to Wright's granddaughters, who grew up in the house. Hoffman and Sells have rejected an offer of $2 million and currently have the house listed for $2.379 million.
If the house is not sold, Sells plans to be at the Nov. 7 City Council meeting to oppose the historic designation. He has vowed to sue if historic status is approved.
"Does the house deserve landmark status? Yes. This place needs to be preserved," he told The Times. "But when three Wright granddaughters sell it for $2.8 million, for me to carry the cross for Frank Lloyd Wright, that's not fair."
Even if the house is given landmark status, that wins it only a three-year reprieve from the wrecking ball. If the owner finds keeping up the place a hardship, the reprieve may be even shorter, The New York Times noted in a story about the difficulty of historic preservation in Phoenix. Plus, property owners can file claims against a government agency if regulations decrease their property value. Voters approved that measure in 2006.
So while the owners of the David and Gladys Wright house are not pushing to demolish the home now, they don't make any promises for the future, especially if the property is designated historic.
"I'll move in, invite everybody to come in and take their pictures, and I'm going to wait three years," Sells told The Times. "Then I'm going to knock it down to recoup my losses."

Tesla to add cheaper third model by 2017
Could a new Tesla cost $30,000 and still amaze the crowd? Time – and money – will tell.
CEO Elon Musk told investors during a shareholder meeting on Tuesday that the electric automaker would build a third car between 2016 and 2017 on a new platform. Tesla's second car, the all-wheel-drive Model X, hasn't been built yet. It's slated for production in late 2014.
While mainstream automakers have been cutting prices on their electric vehicles left and right, Tesla may not have the pricing flexibility to risk losing money, as Honda, Nissan, Ford and General Motors are most certainly doing. Still, Musk said he wanted to limit the final price to reach more buyers.
Tesla expects to deliver 21,000 cars to customers by year's end – it has already shoveled out 4,900 Model S sedans in the first quarter – and is banking on more sales to lower prices.
"On the other hand, we will have a much higher volume over which to divide fixed costs," he said. "I'd rather sell a car for less in that case than necessarily try and get the highest gross margin."
The Model S starts at $62,400, which could mean that the new, unnamed Tesla could cost $31,200. Or, if Musk means "half the price of most Model S cars" – which include the largest 85-kilowatt-hour battery pack and fast-charging options – it could be more like $50,000. While Musk didn't divulge details, that kind of price could make it competitive with Cadillac's upcoming ELR coupe, a plug-in hybrid expected to cost $60,000.
Unlike other startups such as Fisker, Tesla has reported strong financial health. Two weeks earlier, it repaid a $465 million federal loan nine years early. Its stock price is more than double that seen two months ago, no doubt spurred by the company's first-ever profit recorded in the first quarter.
"Even if we absolutely suck at cash management, we'll still do OK," Musk said.

i was listening to placebo hence the title ^_^
"Thinking." I answered simply before shaking my head and putting the shirt back, moving more clothes aside as I looked for something that would fit Frank and make him look just a little older. He didn't know about my plan, and raised an eyebrow as he watched me with arms folded across his chest. The only problem with Frank was, he was short - and the few old clothes I had that might fit him properly wouldn't make him look any older. But I kept going through the wardrobe, determined to find something.
"Gee seriously, you look fine. I don't know why you're worrying so much - just cos' Lindsey's coming round." I heard the bitterness in Frank's voice when he spoke Lyn's name and I sighed. I turned to look at him over my shoulder and saw he had flopped onto the bed, spread out with his arms out to his sides as he observed me from beneath his eyelashes with a scowl.
"I'm not worrying about how I look. The clothes are for you." I said flatly and Frank lifted his head to see me better as I turned to continue my hunting.
"Huh? What's wrong with the clothes I'm wearing now?" He demanded, and I smirked to myself. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the clothes he was wearing now, just his usual jeans and band tee, and it suited him perfect - but he looked too young.
"You look like a teenager." I answered and I could practically hear the frown on his face.
"Erm... that's because I am a teenager." He pointed out and I chuckled, finally locating a pair of straight black jeans, I pulled them out of the wardrobe and held them up, they were definitely too short for me now and I turned to throw them at Frank whose face disappeared beneath the black denim. I heard a muffled whine as he pulled them away and I grinned at his pout.
"Put those on. I won't look." I promised, turning away to carry on rooting through my clothes. I heard Frank get off the bed with a sigh.
"I don't get it. Care to explain what you're planning?" He asked as I heard him pull down his zipper.
"I'm going to make you look older, not much, just so that you look at least legal." I explained and I heard Frank scoff, because he was almost eighteen I knew he classed himself as an adult, but he looked about sixteen and Lyn wouldn't be easily fooled. I began considering a white shirt as I heard Frank sigh.
"And... why do I need to look older?" He asked.
"Because, I'm going to let Lyn know that we're together, but to do that we need to lie a little." I explained, and I could practically hear the penny drop. Frank was silent for a moment and my stomach swirled with nerves as I wondered if he was angry with me.
"Right, so... how old am I in this lie?" He asked and his words hurt even though he didn't say them nastily. I coughed nervously and pulled out a long sleeved black shirt.
"I was going for something like twenty maybe?" I mumbled, grabbing a white collared, short sleeved shirt with a black skinny tie. I heard Frank giggle and some of my anxiety lifted at the sound.
"Twenty? Gee, have you seen how short I am?" He snorted and I turned to face him, he was stood in the black jeans and already they had made him look less of a teenager, I didn't know why they looked so different to the skinny jeans but I didn't care just so long as they did the job. I grinned and threw the two tops to him, wrapping the tie around my hand.
"Frank, I hate to break it to ya', but you'll probably be that short for the rest of your life." I giggled and he pouted at me, pulling off his top and exposing his pale chest. I tried not to stare but couldn't help but look a little, his muscles stretched and rippled as he pulled on the two tops I had given him and he winked at me with a laugh when he caught me looking. I grinned back at him and waited until he had done the last button on the shirt before throwing the tie to him and then closing the wardrobe doors. When I turned round he was wearing the full outfit and looking at himself in the mirror, he was passing his lip ring back and forth through the hole with his teeth as he messed around with his hair, moving the fringe more to one side and running his fingers over the shaved sides. I was quite proud with myself to see he did look just that bit older.
"Happy now?" He asked and I shook my head.
"Not yet, sit down." I said, pointing to the bed and then going over to a draw that I kept all my art stuff in. Frank watched me with a curious expression as I sought out my thinnest artist pens before taking them over to the bed and setting them down beside him. He gave them a skeptical look before looking over at me as I sat beside him.
"Erm... what are they for?" He asked a little nervously and I giggled, picking up the black pen.
"Tattoos." I grinned and Franks smile was instant, but then it melted away as quickly as it came.
"Wait. Will those things look real, or will they just look like pen?" He asked and I chewed on the inside of my cheek thoughtfully.
"Well... hopefully real, but they'll wash off pretty fast with some scrubbing so if they look stupid we can get rid of it." I said and Frank chewed softly on his lower lip.
"Okay. Do my knuckles first since it'll be easier to wipe it off then." He said, holding out his hands for me. "I want Halloween written on the knuckles, but you'll have to put the two L's together or it won't fit." He said and I looked at him in surprise, he sounded so sure - and a little determined.
"You've been thinking of getting tattoos for a while haven't you?" I said with a smirk as I pulled the top off the pen. Frank nodded with a grin and I began to carefully drawn on his skin.
"Yep. Ever since I was like... eleven or something." He said with a laugh before his voice became quiet, his tone serious. "I just wanted to cover up, with more than just clothes. When I looked in the mirror I wanted to see art work that reflected my personality rather than just a tainted person." He whispered, slightly to himself and I furrowed my brow as I felt my heart tug.
"Well, it doesn't matter now anyway. I don't need to cover up." He added brightly. "But I'm getting them anyway." He laughed and I smiled, glad to have the little down moment disappear. We were quiet as I concentrated on his knuckles. Drawing out the letters and then coloring them in with black, orange and yellow, blending the colors together before sitting back, proud of myself.
"What do ya' think?" I asked happily and Frank looked down, observing his skin before grinning at me.
"Awesome! It looks so real. Oh wow, can I get this re-done for school?" He gushed, staring in awe at his knuckles and making my cheeks tinge with pink. "Oh! Do my scorpion next!" He cried, tilting his head and exposing the side of his neck.
"You're what?" I asked, frowning as I went to put away the pens.
"My scorpion." Frank repeated. "Right here -" He brushed his fingers over a patch on his neck. "I want it tilted downwards with its tail curled up, because I'm Scorpio." He explained incase I hadn't already guessed. I rolled my eyes fondly and picked up the black pen again.
"Okay, but this is the last one, I need to start on dinner and I don't want you to look like some yob." I said playfully and Frank laughed.
"Well, once I'm eighteen I'm gonna get loads, I want sleeves and everything." He said happily and I could hear the excitement in his voice. I cringed a little and he looked at me from the corner of his eye, careful not to move his head.
"What? Don't you like tattoos?" He asked disbelief evident in his voice.
"Its not that I don't like tattoos its just..." I shuddered. "Needles..." I mumbled and Frank giggled a little.
"You're afraid of needles?" He asked, I nodded silently, ashamed of my fear and Frank 'hmmd' to himself.
"Wow, I've never seen the reason for being scared of needles. I'm scared of spiders though." He said thoughtfully and I began filling the scorpion outline with colour.
"Well, I've never seen a reason to be scared of spiders." I smirked and Frank whined, going into a lengthy explanation as to why spiders were freaky. I listened with a small smile on my face as I finished off his 'tattoo' before sitting back and putting the pens back into their packet.
"Done." I said happily, getting to my feet and taking the pens back to the drawer as Frank ran to the mirror to see his neck.
"That is so cool..." He whispered, ghosting his fingers over the image.
"It'll do for tonight." I said modestly, happy to see him so happy. "Now come on, you can help me cook." I grinned, Frank pouting as he followed me down the stairs.
I glanced over at Frank and smiled, he had never told me he could cook but it turned out he was amazing at it. I had been put in charge of salad while he stood over the stove, casually making a pot of tomato pasta as if it was the easiest thing to do in the world. I had never been that great in the kitchen, Frank was younger than me and already he had kicked my ass. As I looked at him my smile widened and I felt my stomach churn with love, he looked much older in the clothes and 'tattoos', he was leant back a little with his free hand in his pocket. He was chewing absent mindedly on his lip ring and bopping his head a little to a tune he was playing in his mind. I could get used to this. It looked like something out of a fairytale, and I hoped that it would be like this when me and Frank were finally a 'real' couple. When he had left high school, and got a job, when everyone knew about us, when he was living with me. It was warm thought, just cooking together in the kitchen like we were now, discussing work or something. It was so simple and yet so satisfying to think about.
"You okay?" Frank asked, noticing me watching him and I nodded.
"I'm fine, just admiring your cooking skills." I smirked and he laughed, turned to look into the pot.
"Ah, its nothing special. But it'll do I guess." He said with a smile and I sauntered over to him, standing behind him and wrapping my arms around my waist, kissing the back of his neck. He pressed back against me and I nipped the skin playfully, running my hand across his midriff.
"You look good Frankie." I whispered, moving my lips to his ear and biting the lobe gently.
"Uhm... so do you." He said with a small giggle and I turned him round to face me, cupping his face in my hands and leaning in to kiss him. He tilted his head up to meet my lips halfway, and I pressed our bodies tighter together as we shared a deep, open mouthed kiss. His tongue snaked out to rub against mine and he ran his fingers through my hair as I ran one hand down to wrap protectively round his waist.
"Door..." He whispered against my lips as a loud knock rang through the kitchen. I groaned as I pulled away from him, disappointed to have to end it there. He giggled at my pout and pushed me gently away.
"Stop sulking -" He laughed. "And let the poor woman in." I gave him a mock salute before walking out of the kitchen, swaying my hips with exaggerated movements as I went and earning a giggle from Frank. I tidied up my hair as I approached the door and hoped I wasn't flushed. I could see Lindsey's silhouette through the frosted glass in the door and pulled it open to reveal her, grinning at me in a red tartan skirt and black V - neck shirt.
"Hi!" She said brightly, walking into the house as I stood aside for her.
"Hey, how are you?" I asked, closing the door and waiting for her to pull off her boots.
"I'm great thanks, yourself?" She answered, putting her footwear neatly to the side of the door before facing me with a wide smile.
"I'm fine." I replied, leading the way to the kitchen.
"Mmm, something smells good." Lyn commented, giving an appreciative sniff of the air. I laughed and raised my hands up.
"Ha, nothing to do with me." I admitted. "Franks cooking." I laughed and Lyn gave me an intrigued look.
"Frank? Whose Frank?" She asked. I stopped just before we reached the kitchen and turned to look at her.
"He's someone I want you to meet." I said carefully, when I only saw interest in her eyes I took her into the kitchen where Frank was stirring the pasta just as casually as before. He turned to smile at us when we came in and I saw a flash of jealousy go through his hazel eyes and knew he was thinking Lyn was pretty. If he only he knew how gorgeous he looked right now.
"Frank, this is my friend Lyn I was telling you about." I said, pushing Lyn forward so Frank could see her better and he smiled softly. "Lyn, this is my partner Frank." I said bluntly, feeling my stomach lurch as the words past my lips, and I prayed she would take it well. Prayed she would believe he was older than he was. I saw her stare at Frank in surprise, her jaw had dropped slightly but she composed herself quickly and turned to grin at me.
"Your... partner? Gerard! You never told me you had a boyfriend!" She cried, practically running up to Frank and embracing him. He gave me a look of shock over her shoulder and I shrugged, slightly confused myself.
"Its so nice to meet you Frank. I just assumed Gerard had a girlfriend, please excuse me if I seemed shocked." Lyn laughed as she pulled back and Frank smiled warmly.
"No its fine." He grinned and I could hear relief in his voice. I too was trying hard not to sigh with relief, so far - we had gotten away with it. I approached Frank and slung my arms over his shoulders and kissed his cheek, it felt so refreshing to be able to show affection with someone else there. It felt good for someone to know about us, just because it meant I could show Frank off to at least one person.
"How long have you two been together?" Lyn asked and Frank answered before I could even open my mouth.
"Two years now. I had just left high school." He said, giving me a fond look as I tried to look as if this wasn't all new to me. "We met in an art gallery, just got talking. I didn't ever think he would like me back, but it turned out he did and well... here we are now." Frank said, the lies coming out so naturally even I was starting to believe them.
"Oh, so your... Twenty?" Asked Lyn and Frank nodded. "Cool, aaw, you two make such an adorable couple." Cried Lyn, clasping her hands together and grinning at us. I smiled back and hugged Frank tighter to me. The kid was a natural actor.
The evening went so well I couldn't help but feel blessed. Frank and Lyn did most of the talking, Lyn seemed so interested in him, wanting to know everything and Frank answered her questions without a moments hesitation, keeping as much to the truth as he could but even so - by the time Lyn went home that night, she left believing Frank was a twenty year old guitar shop worker, living with me and playing in a local rock band who were trying to make the big time. He even named the band, and gave song titles and described art work. I was beginning to wonder whether the band was actually real but when I asked him afterwards he just laughed and said no. I was astounded, I had hoped he could pull it off but I never expected him to be so good at it. So good in fact, that Lyn asked to come round for dinner at her place that coming Friday, and declared she couldn't wait to tell all her friends about us. For a second I had been horrified, we couldn't just go around lieing to everyone. What if someone knew a student at the school and found out Frank was really a student? What if someone saw him at the school in passing? But Frank had simply given a cool smile and said she was too kind. He didn't seem phased by it at all. But I began to wonder whether I had unintentionally just thrown us into the deep end, left to try and swim... or sink.
A/N: Again, not the worlds longest chapter but hey - I think it turned out pretty okay. But its not my opinion that counts - its yours! cue game show music so lemme know people, y'all know I'm a review whore ^_^

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 06/08/11 -- The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has released new video footage from Canada's 2011 commercial seal hunt showing clear examples of deliberate cruelty, inhumane killing practices and violations of the Marine Mammal Regulations, despite the relatively small size of the hunt this year.
Fewer than 50 boats participated in the 2011 seal hunt, and only 38,000 seals have been reported killed with a landed value of under $750,000. In spite of a smaller-scale hunt, the video evidence confirms that the Canadian government and the sealing industry continue to ignore concerns about inhumane killing raised by the European Union, and that the few existing regulations are impossible for authorities to enforce.
"Many sealers appear quite comfortable ignoring the regulations and conducting cruel and inhumane killing, even when they are aware of being observed" said Sheryl Fink, Director of IFAW's Seal Program and witness to the 2011 commercial seal hunt off the coast of Newfoundland.
"Our video shows sealers engaging in practices such as intentionally killing a protected blueback seal and spearing a live, conscious seal pup in the face with a steel hook as it tries to defend itself. In one instance, a seal pup was sliced open while alive and left to suffer in the bottom of a boat for several minutes" said Fink.
"These inexcusable activities, and the fact that they occur year after year, offer further proof that commercial sealing is inhumane regardless of how many seals are killed or how few sealers participate" continued Fink.
The video evidence reinforces IFAW's position that trade bans on seal products are not only justified, but absolutely necessary. Such examples of cruelty are the primary reason for the European Union ban on the sale of seal products from commercial hunts and why consumers around the world are increasingly rejecting seal products.
IFAW will be providing the video evidence to political leaders in Canada, the EU, and around the world as evidence that commercial sealing remains an inhumane, unnecessary and outdated practice that should be stopped.
"Although this year's hunt is the smallest since 1993, the government-funded seal slaughter continues to be a cruel and colossal waste of Canadians' tax dollars. All the subsidies in the world will not make this hunt humane. The commercial seal hunt will continue to tarnish Canada's reputation for as long as it continues" concluded Fink.
The video captured by IFAW during the 2011 commercial seal hunt can be viewed at http://www.ifaw.org/seals and on YouTube.

Back-to-School Savings! Act Fast!
Recession Mama Michele Ashamalla: Our big tradition is a new back-to-school outfit to wear on the first day of school. Target's our standby, but we went shopping today, and there are a bunch of great printable coupons out there that are good for a few days only!
- Here's a fantastic one for $10 off $25 at JCPenney (it's good until Saturday, August 28). They have lots of great stuff on clearance right now, too. The coupon can be applied to regular, sale-priced or clearance items.
- My daughter likes Justice for Girls, and they frequently have 40 percent-off coupons. Here's one that's good until September 6.
- While I was at the mall, I stopped in at The Gap. I usually shop at Old Navy, but for a few days, The Gap is running a 30 percent off promotion -- and even better, the company's donating 5 percent of your purchase to one of six charities. This coupon gives the 30 percent-off discount and benefits Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America, but it's only good through Sunday, August 29.
- Finally, I stopped in at Famous Footwear to check out their deals. They had a "buy one pair, get the next pair at half price" thing going. That's a pretty good deal, but here's a 20 percent-off coupon that you can use on top of that, to make the price really sweet. (The coupon is good through Saturday, August 28.)
- If you prefer Payless, they are also running a "buy one, get one at half price" sale, and here's a 20 percent-off coupon for them, which is good until August 31.
I have spent the last 10 minutes looking through a few blogposts here and decide to sign up to your feed!
I certainly did not know that. Learnt something new today! Thanks for that.
Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case
You made some clear points there. I did a search on the issue and found most people will consent with your site.
Aw, this was a really great post. In theory I'd like to write like this also - taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
Thank you for that post, I try to up-date a couple of my very own blogs and forums 2-3 times in one week and I recognize its hard work to keep on top of!
I just couldnt leave your website before telling you that we really enjoyed the quality information you offer to your visitors⦠Will be back often to check up on new posts

There may be noticeably a bundle to learn about this. I assume you made sure nice points in options also.
I image this may well be various upon the written content? having said that I still consider that it is usually suitable for nearly any form of topic material, as a result of it might continuously be pleasant to determine a warm and delightful face or perhaps pay attention a voice when preliminary landing.

I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time⦠however it was another pleasure to see It is such an essential topic and ignored by so numerous, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issueExcellent stuff as typical.
When I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the identical comment. Is there any way you'll be able to take away me from that service? Thanks!
Hi there, I simply hopped over for your web site by the use of StumbleUpon. Not one thing I might usually read, however I liked your thoughts none the less. Thanks for making something price reading.

If you could email me with a few pointers about how you made this site look this good , I would be thankful.

BRT - PERF-O-MAT - Perforator for PET Bottles and Plastic Containersby BRT Recycling Technologie GmbH
Perforating of PET bottles and other receptacles makes storing and processing of plastic containers much easier. Even large volume or filled bottles or cans are perforated by almost 100%.

Nice to see this. Our rental kitchen is quite dated, with dark wood lower cabinets and no uppers at all. I was looking at painting the room to "rice cake" (a white with a brown tint), then putting up dark-wood shelves. The counter-tops are white, and so this looks basically like my design idea. Time to get cracking.
Why is the Kitchenaid mixer up so high? Those things are not light!
^ I wonder how they get that down. Or maybe it's a decorative piece? :P
Where is the library ladder that goes with the shelving?!!!
Love the look! I am sure they have a kitchen stool or ladder!
It's a Capital Range according to the Resource Guide.
My first thought too about the mixer, but I live in an earthquake prone area so maybe I'm super sensitive! Looks lovely though.
Yikes. Don't try this at home--especially in an area prone to earthquakes.
Love those white LC cookware!

Vietnam: Upping the Stakes in the South China Sea
ISDP POLICY BRIEF, No. 72, June 22 2011.
Recent controversies between Hanoi and Beijing in relation to the South China Sea suggest that tensions in the region are rising. Vietnam is displaying a new resolve in relation to Beijing. This indicates that China's growing economic power is a concern for the Southeast Asian capitals, and that Hanoi is attempting to take the lead among ASEAN states in challenging Beijing in relation to the South China Sea. Development of the dispute is partly linked to the position of the U.S., who promises to remain a regional power but is unlikely to want to clash with China over the South China Sea.

The U.S. Transportation Secretary says he wants tougher requirements in all states for first time drunk drivers.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released guidelines Tuesday for states to use 'ignition interlock programs'.
The programs force drivers to blow into a breath analyzer. If they've been drinking, their cars won't start.
Click above to view a personal story about the effects of drunk driving.
A couple of Georgia legislators are joining the push for ignition interlock devices. State Senator Donzella James and Representative Tom Rice have been named "legislative champions" by Mothers Against Drunk Diving. Both legislators have authored bills requiring the device.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving says it's important to plan ahead if you're attending holiday parties.
The group suggests making arrangements in advance for how you will get home.

I post stuff. Often politics. Sometimes not. Have a nice day ♬
Newt Gingrich, accusing Fox News of a Mitt Romney bias that he believes has damaged his campaign for president.
Fox definitely has a Romney bias, but I'm fairly sure that Gingrich is doing just fine destroying his campaign on his own. Fox News has responded, saying, "This is nothing more than Newt auditioning for a windfall of a gig at CNN. That's the kind of man he is. Not to mention, he's still bitter over the termination of his contributor contract." Gingrich is not the fist GOP candidate to accuse Fox News of bias: Rick Santorum did so earlier this year.
SCHADENFREUDE - A word of German origin used to describe the feeling one gets when Republican Propagandist Newt Gingrich accuses The Republican Ministry of Propaganda of being the Republican Ministry of Propaganda.
(via destroythegop)
Heh. I love seeing Newt cry like a little bitch. Moar please…
This is the GOP…whattapackofmorons…
Newt Gingrich: What. A. Fucking. Douche bag. His Vv first, conscious, off the cuff thought is to bash Islam. No words
santorum backer intimates women should use aspirin for birth control. because they did it waayyy back in the good ole days [of slavery & no women's votes?!?] …but why aren't republicans discussing vasectomies??? isn't that a form of birth control too?

The Nike Foundation is pioneering a new approach to development by creating insights-driven innovations, strategic partnerships and solutions that can be scaled to enable and equip adolescent girls to realize their potential. When a girl in poverty completes secondary school, marries and has her first child later, she helps to create economic growth, political and social stability.
Driving massive resources to adolescent girls. In 2010 we formed Girl Hub, a strategic collaboration with the U.K. Department for International Development (DFID) aimed at transforming the lives of adolescent girls living in poverty by engaging girls themselves as active participants. We work in Ethiopia, Nigeria and Rwanda to create programs for girls, with girls.
Girl Hub delivers results for girls in a variety of ways – family planning, direct assets, resource creation for girls in humanitarian settings, and through research and data disaggregation.
Getting girls on the international development agenda. Ten years ago, girls were widely invisible to the global development community. In 2008, the girl effect launched as a concept to radically change the way policymakers and funders viewed girls' development issues. Accompanied by a short film that caught the attention of global leaders at the 2009 World Economic Forum, the girl effect has since evolved into a global movement aimed at inspiring and equipping individuals, networks and organizations with the tools and information they need to make the girl effect happen.
From the halls of the World Bank to the stage of the Clinton Global Initiative and beyond, the Nike Foundation has partnered with some of the most respected organizations and leaders in the development community toward a vision: that adolescent girls are embedded in – and integral to – the eradication of global poverty.
The Nike Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals.
Early on in our work, we issued Requests for Proposals (RFPs) where we saw gaps in investment, based on what we had learned from our partners and other experts. Frequently these involved seed grants or investments to replicate promising programs. Those prior investments helped us to understand where the greatest opportunities exist for girls.
Our current investments target large-scale systems change that transforms girls' environments. We work closely with our network of partners and collaborators to identify organizations with the capacity to bring about massive change.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
A good Dutch oven can be a busy cook's best friend. These versatile pots can bake, deep-fry, braise and boil foods. Many cooks also use them to simmer soups and stews on the stovetop. Dutch ovens do many of the same jobs as stockpots (also called soup pots), but there are several differences between the two. The most popular Dutch oven sizes are in the 5-to-7-quart range, while stock pots are larger, usually 8 to 12 quarts. Also, as the editors of Cook's Illustrated magazine explain, Dutch ovens are "heavier and thicker than stock pots, allowing them to retain and conduct heat more effectively." A Dutch oven can also go from stovetop to oven, something larger stockpots can't do. Many Dutch ovens have a colorful enamel finish allowing them to double as serving pieces. For a look at our favorite stockpots, see our separate report.
In general, Dutch ovens are pretty basic. Most are constructed of heavy-duty cast iron, built to withstand direct heat and the test of time. Although lighter-weight models are available in aluminum or stainless steel, we generally found that cast-iron versions received the best reviews. Differences among models are limited to details such as capacity, enamel coating, color and basic features such as handle style. Differences in cost, however, can be quite significant: We found good reviews for Dutch ovens costing as little as $30 (for a 5-quart model in plain cast iron) and as much as $290 (for a 7.25-quart enameled model made by French manufacturer Le Creuset).
Two brands stand out based on both professional and consumer reviews: Lodge and Le Creuset. These manufacturers make heavy cast-iron pots that earn good marks for cooking performance in professional tests and are highly rated by users for their looks, durability and ease of use. We found the most detailed tests of Dutch ovens in Cook's Illustrated and Good Housekeeping magazines, while food blogs such as SeriousEats.com and TheKitchn.com offer general advice on what to look for. Retail sites such as Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Cooking.com provide information about how Dutch ovens perform in owners' kitchens.

Win 7 x64 crashing my HD 5970
A couple of days ago I build a new system with the following specs:
Intel Core i7 920
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
OCZ Platinum XTC 6GB DDR3-1600 CL7 triple kit
Sapphire Radeon HD 5970 2GB
Western Digital Raptor 150GB
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Professional
Thermaltake Armor SLI Black Window
Corsair HX1000W
Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 1366
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit NL Upgrade
At first I thought the Graphics card was broken because it kept locking up the screen whenever I entered something 3D, but after days of testing and even buying a new PSU, I know it might be Windows 7 x64 causing a conflict.
I have done all the usual tests, memtest86+, reseating card, fresh windows install, windows updates, tried all graphics card drivers after driver sweeper, disabling windows aero and UAC, Giving the card more vcore, ddr3 on the proper voltage, flashed the bios to latest version, installed latest chipset drivers, ran everything in the system on stock speeds, temperatures are low. Everything in my computer seems perfect.
Heres the scenario:
I run driver sweeper in Safe Mode, reboot;
I install the graphics card drivers, reboot;
I run benches and a game perfectly fine, maxed out, with the graphics card working on full load and both GPUs;
I perform a different task in Windows (like using IE or installing a program, no matter what task);
I cant run a single 3D driven application, everything locks up, and the card becomes unusable;
This issue remains until I sweep the drivers again, and reinstall them.
Surely this must be a Windows problem, as the card with its drivers run flawlessly before I start using windows. There's not much to see in the Event Viewer as its a lock up, not a BSOD.

Danny welcome to the forums.
Are you using the driver off the cd or the latest Catalyst 9.12 from ATI? A better option might be to try if you haven't the catalyst 9.12 Hotfix driver,
Also rumor has it that the Catalyst 10.1 is supposed to come out some time today, so maybe wait a bit and see if it does. When it does it will be posted here,
shortly after release.

I have tried all available drivers after a driver sweep, and even after a fresh install, same outcome. Something corrupts the drivers perhaps, as they work without issues initially, until I do something in windows.

Hi, are you sure Windows is not reinstalling the Windows update drivers.
|My System Specs
|07 Jan 2010
not sure if your problems are related to this, but its worth a shot...
''driver sweeper'' appears to be an issue while installing / updating 5 series ATI drivers.
ive had no end of weird issues while using it, i never even thought that was a factor, but after relaying my issues on various tech sites it seems the use of ''driver sweeper'' corrupts the drivers.
here's the driver install process i was directed to use.
If you have been using Sweepers you've probably corrupted your Windows driver profile so you may have to reset it..... If that is the case then I would suggest its user error and the next driver set will have to same issue.
Try this to reset, if this fails a OS re-install may be the only way to correct the issue. I'm assuming you're using either Vista or Win 7.
Go to Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings - Hardware (tab) - Device Installation Settings, choose "Never install a driver from Windows Update and apply.
Uninstall Driversweeper and slap your forehead.
Express uninstall all ATI software from add remove programs.
Let Windows install WDDM drivers automatically. (Its Sweeping during this process that potentially can cause major issues.)
Reboot if asked.
Go to device manager and remove your card from there selecting delete driver software from this pc as you go.
If windows installs WDDM drivers again repeat above step until windows stops auto installing drivers and asks you for them instead.
This should reset your borked driver profile in Windows, and you should be able to install the 9.12's now.
Once you've done this you will find you can update drivers without uninstalling first with no issues. Every time you uninstall drivers now Windows will load in VGA mode and ask you for drivers which is how it should be. If you must use Sweepers then they should no longer cause issues.

The Device Installation Settings were set to automatically download drivers....
So could it be that when I install new drivers, windows messes with them because of this setting?
|My System Specs
|07 Jan 2010
i personally REFUSE to reinstall windows to get a driver working, if this is infact what i find to be the only way to get them working properly i shall be selling my card & heading back over to Nvidia.
it seems your issues are with 3D function, not 2D (which a lot of problems are related too)..... but i'd carry out the above install process (not the OS reinstall) & then at least you can rule out driver incompatibility as a factor..

He has invested in sectors across information technology, from security to green IT, from consumer-facing web companies to enterprise software.

After deciding against launching a second business plan involving pets and vets, the two decided to start their own investment firm late in 1994. In addition to his work as a venture investor, Stuart has served as an Adjunct Associate Professor at Columbia Business School since 2002, where he teaches a popular Venture Capital Seminar to MBA students.

while I'm trying to deny the possibility of a klaine breakup, I just watched 'Dance with Somebody' and 'Who's chandler' had me in tears.
How will this end?
Oh Boris.
I take what I want.
Found Kurt and Blaine mannequins in this store!
i feel like crisscolfer shippers take to much shit for stuff that when something so small happens they know they will be attacked so they leave. was this at chucks wedding too? how long ago was that? calm your tits everyone iv seen people dance with their ex's out of kindness
brother and sister dance,
just to clarify this, I'm not trying to be mean to other shippers, just showing my own ship nothing is lost, hence why its in my ship tag :)
so this is my whole take on this
so mia and darren have a picture of them dancing cutely and suddenly everything is canon?
i mean i honestly don't CARE if they are good for them and this is coming from a proud crisscolfer shipper
but guys you are like "OH SHIT THEY ARE DANCING AND ARE HAPPY OBV…
really though guys.
If that was enough for you to leave, I mean if I were to accept defeat (while still shipping mind you), I'd at least need something that was definetely romantic.
Like a kiss, or maybe being able to see his face?
and I'm not mad at people who already shipped, I'm just weirded out that people would jump ship for something so small.

Watershed scale hydrologic models require good estimates of the spatially distributed snow water equivalent (SWE) at winter's end. Snow on the ground in treeless Arctic environments is susceptible to significant wind redistribution, which results in very heterogeneous snowpacks, with greater quantities of snow collection in depressions, valley bottoms and leeward sides of ridges. In the Arctic, precipitation and snow gauges are very poor indicators of the actual spatial snowpack distribution, particularly at winter's end when ablation occurs. Snow distribution patterns are similar from year to year because they are largely controlled by the interaction of topography, vegetation, and consistent weather patterns. From one year to the next, none of these controls radically change. Consequently, shallow and deep areas of snow tend to be spatially predetermined, resulting in depth (or SWE) differences that may vary as a whole, but not relative to each other, from year to year. This work attempts to identify snowpack distribution patterns at a watershed scale in the Arctic. Snow patterns are intended to be established by numerous field survey points from past end-of-winter field campaigns. All measured SWE values represent a certain percentage of a given watershed. Some may represent small-scale anomalies (local scale), while others might represent a large-scale area (regional scale). Since we are interested in identifying snowpack distribution patterns at a watershed scale, we aim to develop an improved point-source sampling strategy that only surveys regional representative areas. This will only be possible if the extreme high and low SWE measurements that represent local-scale snow conditions are removed in the sampled data set. The integration of these pattern identification methods will produce a hybrid approach to identifying snowpack distribution patterns. Improvement in our estimates of the snowpack distribution will aid in the forecasting of snowmelt runoff events, which are the most significant hydrologic event of the year for larger Arctic watersheds.

First time whom I trusted that was you my friend.
you opposed me and broken my heart in a second.
you never think why you from my family and relations,
you 're close to my heart to build up generations,
I open my heart, told you secret that I hide behind.
you 're one a part of my secrets that's only I know,
I chose you for my trust you know how did I grow?
you disclosed me with others I think you 're kind.
this is only a relation that's supportive most in pain,
I were broken you offer me pleasure for rubbish drain,
Don't pin the nails in my heart don't seed the thorns,
Life is no life without trust don't strengthen the horns,
I don't know why is that you palpitate my heart?
I feel pain, I taken breath without you my bone part.
