I recently read a fantastic book called The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves by Matt Ridley. Early on he mentioned the advantage of a collective brain between people being the main driving force in our innovation and dominance as a species. To keep it simple, the thinking is that, long ago, we were like most any other animal on earth; we only trusted those of our immediate family or tribe and our genetics were evolving faster than our technology. This was the way of things for millions of years, but recently (in evolutionary terms) that tried and true process that worked so well for all animal life throughout the history of Earth flipped; modern man began to exchange ideas and trade with people outside of their clan. This of course led to specialization, which diversified consumption and allowed for human technology to evolve far more quickly than human genetics for the first time. Trade between clans meant that people could rely on others to make tools or collect furs or go fishing while they worked on their own trade. This is the most important unique trait that set us apart and made us so dominant throughout the world.
The way in which this relates to My IGN is that if people make an effort to share their knowledge (whether right or wrong) we can learn from one another and discuss and debate ideas that maybe we wouldn't make time for (or have time for) in our routine lives. If you're a history buff, don't shy away from sharing some of your favorite moments of history or what history has taught you. If you are knowledgeable about any sciences, share your knowledge and explain why it's relevant to you or others. If you just read an inspiring book, share it and discuss it. Sometimes the ideas that we assume would bore everyone to tears are the ideas that people didn't realize they were waiting for. Countless times throughout my life I've read books or done something that I was not initially excited about and it turned out to be far more interesting that I could have ever anticipated. One of the problems with people is that so many of us have such vast stores of knowledge and experience and we keep it to ourselves or share it only with people are predisposed to be interested in the topic at hand. How does it make sense in this day and age, with our unbelievable technology, to squander our knowledge by keeping it to ourselves or a tight-knit circle? So many intellectuals complain about the general lack of intelligence or understanding that the average person has, yet most of them make no effort to help others learn. It's not hard. All one has to do is learn for their own benefit, write for their own further understanding and comprehension and simply publish it for others to take in. If you're wrong, someone can explain why. If you're right, you can further explain why. If the truth lurks in a grey area (as is usually the case) people can compare their understanding and make of it what they will. It all leads to intellectual growth. To use a quote from Thomas Jefferson that was also included in The Rational Optimist:
"He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper [(candle)] at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation."
It is a rather beautiful analogy for how ideas can be spread at no cost to the original bearer. The lighting of a candle will merely give what is already there in full without diminishing that which it gives. Shared knowledge works in much the same way. My ideas will always be unique to me; in that my brain bears them and interprets them uniquely. By sharing what I experience and what I know with another I lose none of my ideas, but give them a chance to flourish elsewhere. It really is that simple. When I learn something or think of an idea I simply share it rather than keeping it caged within my mind. It doesn't have to take off and it needn't be intrusive for those I share it with either. If it isn't as good or true as presumed, it will die out. If it is worthy of debating or integrating, it can be spread and tested by many minds instead of merely my own. This process allows for quick and diverse growth without the burden of having to do all the research and thinking by oneself.
Essentially, we can use each others minds to bear the weight of knowledge gathering and the formulation of ideas. Think of the astonishing feat of the pyramids at Giza. No single man could ever accomplish such a feat. No single man could even move a single block. To reduce it further, imagine how long it would take a single man to merely carve out a single sandstone block. It would take years and for what? A single man can't move the block anyway. In this same way, formulating complex and impressive ideas amounts to nothing if there aren't others there to learn from it and help bring it to prominence. We need each other not just to help spread our ideas and knowledge, but to act as a filter for those ideas and bits of knowledge.
This brings me back to the specialization of skills and diversification of consumption. If people specializing in tasks allows for more and more diverse consumption and furthered specialization, sharing knowledge and ideas can breed more and more diverse collective knowledge and furthered critical thinking and knowledge seeking. In fact, this is the very concept that led humans to where we are today, but I believe we are failing to properly utilize this truly incredible ability. We simply allow it to occur passively instead of actively recognizing it and putting it to work. I propose that we attempt to make an effort to not only become better individuals, but to become a more knowledgeable and better community. Learning is endless and we all have varying interests, so the concept is self-perpetuating and infinite. You can think of it like a car that gets better the more drive it with no limit as to how good it can become.
IN SUMMATION (I realize some of you can't read more than 300 words without a brain cramp and hopefully this proposition will help with that), we can apply the concept of the collective brain to our little community and help each other grow and learn rather than simply banter and bicker about tiresome and rehashed topics every month or so. I'm not saying that people should stop writing their mostly tiresome game blogs and top # lists; I'm saying that we should each make an effort to learn and share what we've learned regardless of whether or not you think people would be interested. The reason is sixfold:
- It is something you were already interested in learning about and it builds your knowledge base.
- By writing out what you've learned you are better able to comprehend the knowledge.
- Also by writing out what you've learned you improve your writing skills.
- After learning, analyzing, and writing out your new knowledge, you are able to share it with others who can learn from you and potentially explore the subject further.
- The people reading your posts will share their own insights and ideas with you, which adds to your intellectual growth as well as their own.
- All of these things are a fantastic workout for your brain and you'll thank me when you don't go senile at age 70 or sooner.
So, there you have it; take your natural self-interest and turn it into something that makes you and those around you better. Some users have already been doing so and in order to give this idea some time to take root, I will do my best to write my own posts that fit my suggestion and hopefully keep track of blogs each month that are in line with the concept from other users and make a monthly blog out of it. It will most likely be named The Collective Brain of My IGN: (Month).

This always happens to me!
Your phone rings.
"Hey, it's Jim, something just happened and--" but then nothing. Not even dead air.
Oh... GREAT! Now, in addition to Jim thinking you just hung up on him, you might be out of the loop on something REALLY important!
But what can you do?
And that stupid battery ALREADY barely lasted the day!
Don't worry- I just found a pocket-sized lifesaver you'll NEVER want to be without!
I absolutely LOVE this thing!
To test it out, I figured I'd charge it up and get it in my car for when I eventually needed it.
Turns out, I forgot to charge my phone one night, and I needed this thing a LOT sooner than expected.
Normally, I'd have to turn off a bunch of stuff on my phone and PRAY it lasted long enough for me to get home... but not anymore!
I opened my glovebox, pulled out the battery, and plugged it in!
All of a sudden, these tiny little phone batteries seem a WHOLE lot bigger!
Just plug it into any USB port to power it up and then keep it with you until you need it!
This thing can hold all of its charge for quite a while, so you can have it at the ready so the MOMENT your battery dies, you can charge it right back up!
It's important to understand WHY this is so incredible: Most older phones only have up to about 1400 mAh batteries!
That means this thing can power your device from DEAD to FULL... and STILL HAVE TONS MORE LEFT OVER!
In fact, you might be able to get 3 extra full charges out of your phone! Even if you have a BIG phone, you can still get at least one extra charge!
Because you can plug in any USB cable (or you can use the cord that comes with it) into the device, it'll work with ALL those proprietary cables that different phones use!
Keep in mind, when I say universal, I'm not just referring to it being compatible with practically any modern smartphone...
...and not even that you can use it with 99% of other mobile devices like MP3 players...
...I'm also talkin' about how you can take this ANYWHERE!
No Stress, No Dead Phones, NO STICKER SHOCK!
If you went somewhere else, you might find yourself payin' up to $40 for this! Heck, that's what the manufacturer is charging if you get it STRAIGHT from them!
But I fought tooth and nail to get these at a deal so we could set you up with an AMAZING deal:
If you aren't already rushing to the store, these might sell out right from under your nose!

Spouse most likely to cheat?: Husbands Female Breadwinners
Published: June 2, 2015
Spouse most likely to cheat?: Husbands Female Breadwinners, Female breadwinners, especially those who didn't set out to make most of their family's income, have been found to feel less satisfied about their lives, based on a survey by Working Mother Media.
And now, the findings of a new study about infidelity will probably give these breadwinners more cause for concern.
It's tough to know precisely how many people cheat in their marriages, because many might not admit it in surveys, but researchers estimate that between 20% to 25% of married men and between 10% and 15% of married women have engaged in an extramarital relationship.
This new study, showcased in the June issue of the American Sociological Review, found that men who are 100% economically dependent on their spouses were most at risk for cheating, three times more at risk than women married to male breadwinners.
While, on average, women who are completely financially dependent on their husbands face about a 5% chance that they will stray, there is about a 15% chance that a man married to a female breadwinner will cheat, the study concluded.

A custom t shirt design is so easy to make today. With the advances of technology on the internet it's become possible for anyone to create their own t shirt design in minutes. There was a time when you had to buy expensive software to accomplish the same thing that you can do for free in the Design Studio. We know there are many Design Studios to choose from. We're hoping that once you've tried TheTDesigner that you'll see why it is one of the best T-Shirt Designers out there. You'll find everything you need to design a t-shirt for any kind of event. If there is something that you can't find such as clipart or a certain font please let us know and we'll do everything we can to locate and upload it for you. Some clipart and fonts are restricted by copy rights. That doesn't mean that we can't find something that you'll love just as much. We are continually adding new images and fonts to the Design Studio.
You'll find template layouts to help with your t shirt designing quest. You're able to edit each one of them to meet your needs or you can just use them as an idea to work off of. Many times we'll use customer designs as templates. You're given credit for being the creator if your design is chosen.
Something else that we'd like to point out is that you can use custom t-shirts to raise money for a charity or benefit. Having the ability to create a custom t shirt design without the hassle of visiting different t shirt printers will certainly make it easier for you to take care of all the things that are involved in a fundraiser.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you are making your t shirt design. If you follow the suggestions you should find it relatively easy to create a custom t shirt design that everyone will flip over. And you can sell more tee shirts if that is part of your goal!
- Less is more
- Think outside the Box
- Experiment with Effects
Less is More! As you can see we only added two lines of text and one piece of clipart to the design.
Think Outside the Box. Use a different kind of font. Use something that makes the text stand out more.
Experiment! Add effects to the design. We took the same design and used different effects on each one. Doing this produces a completely different feel.
A custom t shirt design is exactly what it says "Custom". The Design Studio was made so that each individual can use their imagination and bring their t shirt design to life. Use the tools to help enhance your creation.
If you need any help creating your design please let one of our design team members know. You can also watch any of our Video Tutorials. The tutorials will show you how to get the most out of your custom t shirt design.
We love designing t-shirts. You'll love it too once you've seen what you can do in the Design Studio.
Thanks so much
TheTDesigner Team

4 Disciplines of Execution
Do you remember the last major initiative you watched die in your organization? Did it go down with a loud crash? Or was it slowly and quietly suffocated by other competing priorities?
The financial costs of failing to execute can be huge, but it is only one of the impacts. By contrast, nothing is more motivating to a workforce than belonging to a team of people who know the goal and are determined to get there. The 4 Disciplines of Execution can help you get there.
The Honorable Sonny Perdue, Governor of Georgia, U.S.A (2003-2011) said:
"The State of Georgia had unprecedented success as a result of implementing the principles outlined in The 4 Disciplines of Execution. We certified hundreds of leaders to take the disciplines to every department, achieving unprecedented results in customer service, quality improvement, and cost reduction. These execution principles are a must for any government agency that is seeking to be world class."

After short-listing a wonderful company to invest in, you need to know at what price the stock...
Why can't we cut our losses?
Imagine you have paid Rs250 for a movie ticket… and half-way through the screening, you realise that the flick is not worth it—the plot is slow and the acting is terrible. Would you ditch the movie and spend your time on something better or sit through the pain for the rest of the screening? Most people would sit through—the money invested would act as a deterrent against walking out. In behavioural parlance, this is called the 'sunk cost fallacy'.
How does this manifest in investing? Once you have bought a stock and you find that it has lost its value, it becomes heart-breaking to sell it and book losses. Instead of swallowing a bitter pill, investors often stay invested to break even or buy more of the same to lower the average purchase price and get even. Terrance Odean, Michal Strahilevitz and Brad Barber conducted a study of 66,465 investors in the US between 1991 and 1996 and 665,533 investors between 1997 and 1999. The two samples were also different in terms of the size of the portfolios.
The authors calculated the proportion of securities held in the portfolio which were repurchased over a period of one year. The results showed that investors increased holdings of losing stocks more than that of the winning ones. For winning stocks, the probability of repurchase within 12 months was 9.4%, on average; for losing stocks, it was much higher (14.6% in the first sample and 12.8% in the second).
Markets are uncertain; valuations can fluctuate wildly for reasons beyond our control. Getting over the sunk cost bias and cutting losses promptly is crucial to investment performance. This is what we advocate, always.

No problem with IO ReefCrystals have always used it never used anything else I give it a10 plus By Copperhead on 3/12/2017Copperhead would recommend this product to a friendIf it ant broke don't fix it thank my hobbies friends
Great value By Kevin on 9/20/2016Kevin would recommend this product to a friendThis is the only salt mix I've never used, and I've never had any issues with coral or fish health. Plenty of calcium. But the bucket first then refill the bucket with the bags from the 200 gal box. Only gave 4 stars because it takes several hours after mixing for the water to become clear. I mix my water in a barrel with a heater and pump and if I wait more than a few days to do a water change, this light brown build up starts coating the heater and pump. I assume it is calcium precipitation. I have never tried another salt brand, so I don't know if this is normal. If you are not a procrastinator, than this shouldn't affect you
Fine Salt, Poor Value By jwestwood on 5/19/2016jwestwood wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI used about all of the salts out there and have had good results with Reef Crystals. The biggest reason that I stopped using it is that you get less per bag then other brands. A singe 50 gallon bag makes between 40-45 gallons of water for me. With Kent, I get a solid 50 gallons. In addition, the RC bags do not have a zip-lock feature which tends to be messier and absorbs more moisture from the air. Just not a good value IMO.
Switch to Red Sea Coral Pro Salt By RJS6711 on 5/4/2016RJS6711 wouldn't recommend this product to a friendYears ago, when I first got into the marine aquarium-keeping hobby, there weren't many choices in salt mixes available to marine aquarists - Instant Ocean, being one of the very few I was aware of. So, when I recently got involved in reef aquarium keeping, I naturally gravitated to the brand that was familiar to me, and started with IO - Reef Crystals. While I don't want to be unfair to IO, which is one of the lowest-priced options on the market, the hardest part of getting my aquarium readied for reef livestock has been achieving targeted water chemistry parameters to adjust for the types of animals I hope to stock my tank with. It has been a huge source of frustration - constantly trying to balance the effects of one additive after another in order to mimic the animals' natural habitats as closely as possible. I have had to use magnesium supplements as well as buffers (Reef Buffer and Eight . four). And my pH would be at 8.3 for approximately 30 - 45 mins, until it again dropped to around 8.09. In all fairness, I'm using a couple of other new-to-me products (reef saver rock, and Ocean Direct Live Sand). I'm not sure if either or both of those products may have contributed to my issues. However, I have recently switched to Red Sea Coral Pro Salt. In my short time in this genre of the marine aquarium keeping hobby, I have tried several Red Sea products and have come to love and trust them. The RS Coral Pro salt mix is one of my favorites. Thank you, Red Sea!!!
Good but watch your numbers By Ken on 2/24/2016Ken would recommend this product to a friendI use this a lot but you really need to check your PH before doing your water change. I mix it a few days in advance and the PH averages 8.16.
Solid product By James on 2/21/2016James would recommend this product to a friendI have only two complaints about this product, the first is that some of the crystals seem to stick around as a thin flake, but they do eventually dissolve. The other is that after the salt is removed from the packaging and stored it cakes up as if it were in a humid room. But i live in Colorado and humidity doesn't really occur here, so that was/is a little mystifying. But other than that it is still salt and works exactly like you want it to.
repeat purchase By juschillin2 on 10/30/2015juschillin2 would recommend this product to a friendI have been using this product for about a year. Switched out one time, but came back. Does take a little work to get it dissolved...one day. Not too bad. I did get a bad box one time, could have been damaged in transit. BRS made good on it right away, to their credit!
Prams remain steady with little adjustment weekly. Overall a good product.
Great product By Shaun on 7/25/2015Shaun would recommend this product to a friendI have used this salt mix for as long as I have been in the salt hobby, Granted I do not have a high demand tank but all my parameters are spot on, and now that I am using RO/DI made at home, my tank had jumped from looking ok to being well on its way to becoming picture perfect, I dont see any reason to change from this salt mix
I use this for qt tanks By Alex on 5/15/2015Alex would recommend this product to a friendI use other salt mixes that I feel mix better and have better numbers for my main tank that has corals, but for qt tanks where you do a lot of water changes because of meds, this is much more economical and works great.
I got the bucket one first and then the box after that. The box has 4 bags inside that are 50 gallons worth of salt each, so I just dump one in the bucket whenever I use it all and am good to go for another 50 gallons. If I know I will be using a lot, I use 2 bags and still have room to spare. The bucket is nice because of the seal, it keeps the salt dry even in the humid south where I live.
best of its class By Machote on 3/27/2015Machote would recommend this product to a friendi think on my personal opinion that in the range of this price of salt this one is the best i also like oceanic because u can prepare it fast but reef crystal have better results for me, 0 phosphates and i like to buy the one of 200 gals instead of 160 to save some money

Everything worked but it wasn't anything special Breakfast was average. No pool.
The location is great and it's a nice place to sleep. The water pressure could be higher and the shower heads taller.
A decent room for a decent price. The person I checked in with was rather rude, but otherwise from that, they had decent folks. The breakfast was so-so. Toast, cereal, juice... That type of thing.

Its not official but it looks like the Air Jordan XI Columbia Blue might be this year's AJ11 release during Christmas. Hypebeast reported this earlier this morning but has since taken down the article.
However, it makes perfect sense as its pretty much the last of the main AJ11 highs to see a retro release in the recent retro craze of the late 2000's and early 2010's. The Columbias released back in 2000 and again in 2001, but have yet to see another run since.
Again, its not official but it looks like its going to happen. Stay tuned for more details.

You don't have to take such an extreme step for it...you are not doomed...90% of such cases get healed with proper rest....physiotherapy also plays an excellent role....consult a neurosurgeon or an orthopaedician... Take an opinion...please do not worry so much...and definitely HIV is dreadful... No comparison to the deadly communicable disease.... Thank you...you also need to consult a counsellor or psychiatrist as its a very small issue for suicide...please don't lose hope

Addicted to Race is New Demographic's podcast about America's obsession with race. Here's a rundown of what you'll find in this episode:
What does the recent Twitter exchange between actress Kirstie Alley and media assassin Harry Allen tell us about this country's discourse on race? Is the brouhaha surrounding Sonia Sotomayor's nomination indicative of anxiety on the part of white males that they are an endangered species? Can dorming with a student of another race turn you less or more racist? And why is DJ Spooky's "(Re)Birth of a Nation" experiment an epic fail? Carmen Van Kerckhove, Tami Winfrey Harris, and Andrea Plaid discuss.
Addicted to Race is broadcast live every Sunday afternoon at 12 pm Eastern. You can listen live on our BlogTalkRadio page and call in by dialing 347-996-3958.

Mercury On-The-GoTons of reasons to utilize this 11 ounce drive
Also, if you're a Mac user, you want something that doesn't look like a generic brick of plastic. You may argue that it's just a 'bonus' that the thing looks cool, but it's a feature.
Even if beauty is only skin deep, it's not just what's on the inside that matters on this portable external drive. The 500MB drive spins cleanly and comfortably at 7200RPM, and has excellent data transfer rates. And as we all know, that extra bit of performance means we get get an extra bit of heat too. On some larger half-TB drives, you might get a 'free' fan, but on this Mercury On-The-Go drive there is an external heat sync which helps to keep the unit cool. Like the heat sync on your computer, these slots of metal heat up and transfer that hotness to the surrounding air, so it's important that you keep it on something cooler (even a desktop is okay - just don't bury it)
From the drive's name, you might come to the conclusion that it's for people "on the go", but instead, consider it as a drive that can be "on the go".
With storage capabilities up to 500GB, and lighting fast transfer speeds, it is faster than many LAN solutions that studios have in place. Moving big files from one part of the studio to another can, at times, be faster when relying on good old sneaker-net. Additionally, there are times when you need to deliver projects and data to clients, or other members on your project team who aren't part of your network. This is an excellent way to get that data to go.
This is just as fast as other portable drives I own, but it is much, much lighter than most of the drives of this size. (Although I do own a couple of monster 1T drives that weigh in at several pounds, I have other sub-500Gb drives that are heavier than the Mercury On-The-Go).
The OWC comes with several accessories and software goodies as well.
A travel case will help prevent plastic scratches when you transport it.
A travel case will help prevent plastic scratches when you transport it.
Once the data (in my case video) arrives, the little SATA drives speed the data directly into the edit. With an optional eSATA configuration, you don't even need to transfer the data locally. Work directly from the Mercury On-The-Go. The OWC drive I'm testing has two FW800 i/o which makes it easy to plug directly into any new MacPro. If you don't have a FW800 connection, the drive comes with an adapter as well. Alternatively, you can use the USB 2.0 connection.
You can configure your own drive on the OWC site (a href="http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/on-the-go">http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/on-the-go). The drive is fast, reliable, and can be formatted to work specifically with your production pipeline. We all have extra USB 2.0, FW800 and eSATA cables around the studio. This 11 oz drive can get up and go to another part of the team in an instant. Without a specific AC adapter tying it to extra bulk, you can truly get On-The-Go with this professional grade drive.

text: Here's the situation: • I have Windows 7 SP1 running on an MSI Z97-G55 mobo with latest BIOS (updated today). • My router, a Linksys E3000, is running DD-WRT (updated today) Here are the steps I have taken to try to get it to work: 1. Static IP is set and works just fine. 2. I've added the machine through the web interface under WOL and it is enabled. 3. The card properties have been adjusted to let the card power on the computer as well as turned off all of the power saving junk. 4. I'm using the router's internal WOL service to test, so I know it's not a network issue. 5. I've tried using the command-line interface and that doesn't change anything. 6. I've set the BIOS to allow PCI devices to wake the computer and turned off all power saving options there as well. 7. I've obviously rebooted the computer and router several times. The worst part about all of this is that this was working fine a couple of weeks ago without issue. I had Wake-on-WAN even working from Unified Remote. It was all going great. I don't know what I changed or exactly when it happened because I hadn't tried waking my computer in a while. I can't seem to figure this out after pouring over forums for hours. I've been doing networking and computer repair for years now and at this point I know it's because I missed something stupid. If anyone can figure this out, you would be a savior!

The Discussion
Is that a "native", "big" texture atlas support? (ie, like mega texture)
Yes, the new API exposes the hardware virtual memory system and page table to developers through the DX 11.2 API. This allows developers to implement techniques similar to the ones you mention.
YES! Official PRT support!
So DX 11.2 will ony be avaiable for Windows 8 right ? Which means that this feature will not be enabled on games running from Windows 7 correct ?

I couldn't find a maximum current draw for the RFIN pin on the datasheet. For my application I'm going to need the GPS antenna about 100m away from the GPS board, which will probably require a high power antenna, or an inline amplifier. I have enough power from my 3.3v power supply, but will I damage the RFIN pin if the antenna circuit is drawing around 50-80 mA?
No public wish lists :(

The meaning of Half-Life time is easy: Time needed to make a chemical substance becomes half-part of it on a reaction.
To determine the equation of half-life time, we have to use the integrated equation of rate of reaction and of course the coefficient and the order of reaction of substances.
For example, Determine the half-life time equation for first order of reaction for this reaction: aA(g) --> B(g)
From my previous post about Integrated Equation of Rate of Reaction, we already found the equation for first order reaction.
Okay, now we've found the one we were searching for. Now, I will give you the formula of half-life time reaction for the order of reaction of 'n' with 'n' is not equal to 1.
Example of Question:
Determine the half-life time of the reaction of: 2 N2O5(g) --> 4 NO2(g) + O2(g) at 45oC if the rate of reaction constant of it is 3,115 x 10-4 s-1 and the order of reaction of that reaction is one! (Answer: 1112,6 s)

Objections to a 43-storey residential block on London's South Bank were thrown out by a High Court Judge today.
Both English Heritage and Westminster City Council sought to block the proposals, which were approved by Hazel Blears last August.
Councillor Robert Davis, Westminster City Council's cabinet member for the built environment, railed against the ruling, saying that the tower would be "a blot on the landscape for generations to come… nothing short of architectural vandalism."
The planning permission for the tower was contested on the grounds that it would undermine the "rich architectural heritage of Westminster…which has 11,000 listed buildings. The construction of the wrong type of buildings could destroy its look for future generations."
English Heritage said that it was "disappointed" by the decision.
The Doon Street Tower, designed by architects Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands, will stand at 168 metres, taller than anything else currently on the South Bank. When completed it will be the fourth tallest building in the capital after Canary Wharf, the NatWest Tower and the Post Office Tower. The construction will include 329 apartments, a sports centre and a swimming pool.
The 13-acre site received planning permission for an 111-metre-tall hotel in 1974 and another high-rise construction during the 1980s, but neither project materialised due to costs.
The planning inspector at the time of the decision last year was Philip Wilson, who recommended that the scheme be refused following a three-week public enquiry. Blears defended her decision to approve the construction by saying that the benefits to the community would outweigh the costs.
The judge ordered that the objectors pay the Secretary of State's costs.Reuse content

Lizzie's Dad is very unusual. He has gotten worse since her Mum died and both she and her Auntie Doreen are very worried about him. All he wants to do is enter the Human Bird competition, which is coming to town, and persuades Lizzie to enter this with him.
This book was excellent. I loved the brightly coloured illustrations, which bring the story to life, and the story itself was gorgeous. Auntie Doreen was so lovely and funny. The Geordie humour was there on every page and I think this is the perfect story for young readers, either girls or boys as anybody would enjoy it. I think it would be a brilliant read-aloud book as well.
Loved it! 5/5 stars!!!

Remembering Premier Lougheed, 1928-2012
Premier Lougheed was unquestionably devoted to Alberta and Alberta's interests. He not only believed in a strong and united Canada, he believed that Alberta did not have to succeed at the expense of Canada, but as a proud member of a country working together – a country where all succeeded.
He created a direction for Alberta that we can all be proud of today. Premier Lougheed had incredible vision which allowed for economic development of the oil sands, the creation of the Heritage Savings Trust Fund and for the ongoing development of Alberta's arts and cultural industries, just to name a few. His forward-thinking, progressive vision gave us the tools to succeed today and helped to propel Alberta into a leadership role in Canada.

Please take a number. This comedic issue has come up in the aftermath of every POTUS election since 1968! Hundreds of frustrated, ticked-off, LOSING voters contact the Canadian consulate to inquire about emigration and Canadian citizenship requirements. They then vent their political spleens at the poor Canadians. After the dust settles and their blood pressure goes down (not to mention finding out what would REALLY be required of them) the poor babies decide to continue to be U.S. citizens. One Canadian consulate official with 30 years experience could only remember 3-4 Americans actually going through with it during his tenure.<quoted text>
There will be an exodux again. This time it will be Americans moving to another country instead of "coming to the U.S." Our family is already discussing this.

Fifty years ago there was not one person in my immediate family on any kind of government programs. They would have had too much pride even if they had needed it. Sad to say, I could name two people in my family who no longer have our family pride and are bragging about being on government assistance. By the way they go fishing, go-carting, on vacations, work on all their vehicles, have a 4-wheeler they go on trails on - you name it they do it. I know their neighbors reported them. You think the government cares? Pride goes before a fall my friend.

Check out Uruguay: You need to prove a guaranteed income of $500 a month to move there.
Costa Rica: low property tax and health insurance- need a work visa to move there.
New Zealand: Americans can get an automatic 90 day visa to explore the country,You have to apply for a 2 year work visa and immigration determines what field that you get to work in.
Iceland: on the way back from financial collapse- we are approaching it. Americans can get automatic 90 visa to explore the country.
Argentina : pensioners need a guaranteed $700 a month to move there. Others need guaranteed $900 month income.
U.S.A.: All you need to move here is to cross the border. You don't need money, or a visa. If you are an ex-con ,no problem. No job-no problem. Work visa- who needs it? If you aren't a citizen, but you want your child to be one , walk across the border as a pregnant woman, drop it, bingo. It is now a citizen.

I posted these places , not to show that they had requirements for residency, but because they are good places to consider if you are serious. They all have stable governments and rising economies, and relatively low to moderate cost of living. I posted the requirements to let you know what is needed to get in. I know that foreigners can own property in Costa Rica, and you can go back and forth.

Yo soy Mexicano! Yes I am, I will vote for conservative values, when and if a conservative supports us and makes us feel part of something righteous. I would hope someone like Marco Rubio would run, I would surely vote for him if he spoke truth and honor for all Hispanics, including all Americans as well. My family did only vote for President Obama because of the immigration stance and not because he supports the killing of innocent life. If the conservatives can produce a candidate that speaks and stands for the Latinos, I think the republican party can rise again, after all we are mostly Catholics and baptist Christians who obey God's law when it comes to life and living honorably by God's intentions.
#72 Nov 14, 2012
I didn't vote for Obama or Romney - both believe in abortion (Romney was just trying to change to get conservative votes). If you voted for Obama, sorry but I cannot believe you are a Christian as I understand the Bible. I answer to God and I never want to stand before my Saviour one day trying to explain why I voted for a man who approves of killing His children. As for immigration, there are many ways to enter this country legally. Again from the Bible I study, we are to obey laws and entering America illegally is not in keeping with God's word either. America is becomming a rouge nation -- lawless and voting to kill babies shows just how lawless we have become. I fear my Lord and Saviour. Fear is, after all, the beginning of knowledge. Of course if you truly study and know your Bible, you already know all of this and voted for Obama anyway???

In 1965 the out of wedlock births in the black community was 25%. Now it is 72%. The difference was President Johnson's Great Society social programs in 1965.
Compare the out of wedlock birth rate to the above poverty rates. Latinos- 53%. Asians -17%. Blacks -72%. Whites- 29%. The blacks are not at the bottom of the poverty rates now because the new algorithm takes into account medical costs and government programs. Latinos are at the bottom now because many are illegals and not able to access all government programs.
There is a definite correlation between being a single mother and being poor. Women of all races are increasingly getting pregnant outside of a family structure. They almost guarantee themselves a life of poverty. I don't really understand why they do it, knowing that they will more than likely struggle their entire lives. Maybe they see actresses on TV doing it and think it is o.k. Those actresses have millions of dollars and nannies.

Look... I'm a realist. If you say there was a murder in Chicago on the South Side... yes... it is a Black on Black Crime.
If you say that a Right-Wing crazy person that killed several people in a Unitarian church in Knoxville, TN ... I would say it was a White on White crime.

|Reviews for But You Can't Be Close Enough
| theangelgabrielle chapter 2 . 10/19/2008
I loved how everything was interconnected and how the stories of Jenny&Eric, Dan, etc. were woven in. It was really lovely. ;)
| mystripedskirt chapter 2 . 10/7/2008
Ah, it's been forever, but I love this chapter.
| sortofepic chapter 2 . 6/13/2008
I liked this a lot. Especially how you explained that Carter was just the best of Chuck and Nate together because it's so obvious, yet I hadn't ever thought of it like that. The repeated line wasn't overkill, don't worry. In this case I think it made it even better.
| D R O W N-I N-S E Q U I N S chapter 2 . 6/12/2008
Gosh that's so cute! I'll make sure to send that to Bridgers! She'll be happy that she can read a full story!
| lillianrose4 chapter 1 . 3/5/2008
Yes I do think that Blair needs to get a new boyfriend,someone big on the UES someone that will make Chuck/Nate jealous. Someone that will make her realise that the fairytale that she plays in her mind isn't what she needs/craves, it's passion to match her own, and only Chuck has that. I think Nate's love for Sarena isn't that, I think it was sex based. I believe that Nate does love Blair, and he has shown it with the love letter, suspension from school and I think the sex was better with Blair by the sounds of it as well. But I don't know about Carter, as he was involved with Sarena, I don't think she would want to go there again. But I love your train of thought, snap. Not a huge fan of Jenny can't wait to take down. This really gets me thinking. Thanks for the journey?
| dreamgurl chapter 1 . 2/16/2008
I really liked this story! I love the present tense you wrote the story in, like we're literally watching it unfold before our eyes. I especially enjoyed the ending, how it's kind of left in the open but we can all imagine how it's going to turn out. Poor Chuck's mom... that was definitely a perfect twist. Keep up the good work :D
| gleechild chapter 1 . 2/13/2008
She should have made him suffer more. lol. But anyway, I liked the Carter/B stuff... I think that ship is growing on me... Not enough to actually write something (considering I already have 3 wips for GG and ideas for 2 sequels to my fics for GG), but yeah... I like them. ;)
The accident with Dan was nice. It was cute that he didn't remember who she was until he re-read the story he wrote.
J and E married at fifteen? Hilarious. lol. You really do like to ruin her though. Suicide? Over Nate? lol. I know, it's not funny... I cant help it though!
I loved that B had a hand in J's destruction. She DID warn her that she was going to destroy her. ::giggle:: Cracks me up!
Good job with the oneshot! XOXO Sharon :)
| A. Mulholland chapter 1 . 2/2/2008
Fantastic story. And the "overused" line wasn't overboard at all, although one less would have been perfection. But who am I to say or judge?
| finnlover chapter 1 . 1/31/2008
just a little too much of the same quote but... i like the story!
it's original
| believin'inluv chapter 1 . 1/30/2008
This story was so sad at parts (especially the Dan amnesia scene), but very well done! I absolutely loved how Blair got with Carter thinking that she could have both of the men she cared for but then realized that it wasn't the way out. That was an amazing perspective. And how adorable was Chuck, all worried and falling into chairs for her?
| ChuckBassLOVA chapter 1 . 1/30/2008
That was really sweet and cute but at the same time sorta depressing I like how you added Chucks mom into the mix it sorta gave of this vibe
This is totally going somewhere you must continue :)
| mystripedskirt chapter 1 . 1/30/2008
This is perfect. God, I love the C/B and the Carter/B (I've actually been semi-dying for someone to write one), the Dan forgetting and remembering Serena. I just love everything. Well done!
| vogue idea chapter 1 . 1/30/2008
I really enjoyed this, it was different. This is such a lame review but I wanted to say that I liked it a lot.
| L.Lockheart chapter 1 . 1/30/2008
dayum. that was some deep sh*t!
hahah. I loved the "red paint haphazardly smeared off her lips like blood all over her face" everytime.
I loved the J/S comparison, and J suicide thing, thought I think little humphrey never got the guts. whatevs. I liked the Carter/Blair, actually I thought it was good how she compared them to both C and N.
good stuff.
| demon-slave92 chapter 1 . 1/30/2008
aww that was cute!
I like the repeat, sounded cool.
Loves it,

Washington/London, Apr. 4 (ANI): The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Saturday rejected the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Baitullah Mehsud's claim that he was responsible for Friday's attack on a US immigration assistance center in New York, in which 14 people were killed.
"Based on the evidence, we can firmly discount that claim," the Dawn quoted FBI Spokesman Richard Kolko as saying.
Earlier in the day, Baitullah has claimed responsibility for the attack on an immigration center in New York.
Mehsud called an international news agency from an undisclosed location and claimed that the Taliban was behind Friday's shootout where Chinese American gunman killed 14 people and wounded 40 others.
Mehsud said the strike was in retaliation to the US-led drone attacks inside Pakistan along the Afghan border.
However, New York Police have identified the gunman as 41-year-old Jiverly Wong, a former IBM employee. Binghamton Police Chief Joseph Zikuski said the rampage "obviously was premeditated" and began with the shooting of two receptionists.
Wong was later found dead by the SWAT team with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in an office.

Consorteum Holdings, Inc. (CSRH.OB) Knows Loyalty Programs
Consorteum Holdings Inc., the Canadian based payment and transaction processing solutions company, knows the benefits of loyalty programs.
A good loyalty program promotes a strong and continuing relationship between a business and their customers, encouraging customers to buy frequently, increase the size of their transactions, and, most importantly, stick with that brand. This is usually done by offering benefits to the customer, such as redeemable points, which can only be used with that business. The benefits are usually focused on the number of transactions, to encourage return visits and brand loyalty.
To the business, loyalty programs provide an effective way to maintain and grow their customer base, while increasing the value of each customer. In some cases, a good loyalty program will even create a sense of exclusivity in the consumer, a club type environment that has special value to the customer.
Consorteum, known for its ability to provide clients with creative payment and transaction processing solutions, sees loyalty programs as a natural outgrowth of its own technologies. The company recently announced an agreement with FideliSoft, a software company providing point-of-sale loyalty point redemption capability, to support Consorteum's My Golf Rewards program, a sophisticated loyalty program created for the North American golfing industry.
My Golf Rewards, a joint venture partnership company put together with Innovative Loyalty Solutions and Score Golf Magazine, is designed to help golf courses generate new revenue, solidifying and expanding relationships with current members, while drawing in new members. Participating courses give out My Golf Rewards membership cards to interested golfers, who can then use them to gain discounts and other rewards at the course. The golfers gain points by using the course's services or making purchases at associated retail operations. The points can then be redeemed for rounds of golf or other things.
