The room looked big on the picture on booking.com and the price was reasonable hence I chose it. When we arrived at the hotel I was surprised about the narrow lobby reception, a creepy sound of the elevator and an oriental receptionist who can hardly speak and understand English. The worst is housekeeping services ends at 12 midnight and resumes... More

ASUS today announced the PQ321 True 4K UHD Monitor, a desktop display with a stunning Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 resolution that's equivalent to four Full HD displays stacked side-by-side. The PQ321 has a 31.5-inch LED-backlit 4K Ultra HD display (140 pixels-per-inch) with 16:9 aspect ratio, and supports 10-bit RGB 'deep color' for vibrant images with more natural transitions between hues. Cutting-edge IGZO panel technology The ASUS PQ321 True 4K UHD Monitor uses cutting-edge Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) rather than traditional amorphous silicon for the active layer of its LCD panel. IGZO panels support much smaller transistors than amorphous silicon, which in turn gives much smaller pixels and the 3840 x 2160 resolution of the PQ321 is four times that of a 1920 x 1080 Full HD display. 176-degree wide viewing angles on both vertical and horizontal planes minimize onscreen color shift, while the 350cd/m² brightness rating and 8ms gray-to-gray response time ensure smooth, bright, and vibrant moving visuals. IGZO technology also gives reduced energy consumption compared to amorphous silicon and reduces bulk — at 35mm at its thickest point, the PQ321 is the thinnest 4K UHD monitor available today. Comprehensive video inputs for UHD content The ASUS PQ321 True 4K UHD Monitor features DisplayPort and US models offer dual-HDMI ports inputs with Picture-by-Picture support. Built-in 2W stereo speakers remove the need for additional desktop clutter and, in addition to being wall-mountable, the monitor stand offers full height, swivel, and tilt adjustment. AVAILABILITY & PRICING ASUS will be exhibiting the 39-inch and 31.5-inch True 4K UHD Monitor models at Computex 2013 in Taipei.
Wow, even if it costs more than $1000, I'm glad that someone has the balls to change the game. Even better, 60Hz (it doesn't sound too impressive but at this res, it is)!! Thumbs up for ASUS. Now, if only they could release a 2560x1600, 24" display.
A wonder of nature. Until I saw the price. Heaven has a price, of course :^) I need to get into prostitussion to get one...LOL
This ^^. We are barely using this resolution as is... HollyWood & Cable TV need to step up their shit. Literally.
Oh God, oh god, oh goddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd. 4k in 32 inches is just perfect for scaling. Or doing 1920x1080.
ASUS also just released their PA279Q (2560x1440) as well.. http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/asus_pa279q_proart_series_wqhd_lcd_monitor.html
When are we gonna get back-light strobing displays. Even at 60Hz, motion picture would look a lot clearer than a 120Hz monitor without strobed back-light. 60 Hz Refresh rate: 120 Hz Refresh rate: 120Hz + Backlight Strobing:
A GTX 780 or two will do you just fine if you can afford the monitor you can afford the cards to do it. http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Frame-Rating-High-End-GPUs-Benchmarked-4K-Resolutions
HURRY at last! I really hope 2013 will bring more options on displays, and I hope Windows 8.1 will finally solve desktop scaling. And those complaining about gaming? Run it in x1080 mode.

This dude at the park was claiming to be Barack Obama, but also kinda Jesus. And he tried to kidnap these two kids....
I mean, candy is usually a better route, BUT SURE, let's give "I am Jesus Obama. Come with me if you want to live" a try.
BUT WAIT, here is my favorite quote from this story. The childrens' mother Sharaya Smith, who thanks a group of teens for saving her kids from Bienvenido Cintron (aka Obama Jesus), noted that Cintron came into the park shouting, "I am Barack Obama. I have been sent by God to rid the world of drug dealers and prostitutes!"
Smith said she could tell "something was definitely off with him."
Ahem... DO YOU THINK WOMAN?? YES, I WOULD THINK CLAIMING TO BE JESUS OBAMA WOULD BE A GOOD SIGN THAT THE DUDE IS "OFF."
Anyway, he in jail. Kids are fine. Obama and Jesus keep their fairly untainted names, and a group of teens are heroes. Happy is as happy does. Or something.

New Single "Heart Attack" Available Now!
Who thinks it will be good to see our love Enrique singing with Adele?
I would love to see that.
Adele and Enrique would probably get along great too. She likes to use the f word just as much as he does. Lol. They both write excellent songs about the broken heart. Still see it as a great, great collaboration.
Not sure about Adele, but would love him and Rihanna to do a duet together! :)
i dont think their voices go well... Him and RIHANNA is more like it
I agree can't wait to hear they both singing together.
I like whatever Enrique likes .....))

One picture says it all -- iPhone copy and paste is here at last!
(Source: Engadget/Apple)
OS v3.0 coming in June, will bring MMS, Copy Cut and Paste, turn by turn directions (third party), FM radio (third party, hardware), push notifications, and landscape email
Apple, struggling amid a rough economy continues to look to the iPhone as its brightest sales star. Today Apple announced the new version of its iPhone OS, version 3.0 at a
special presentation
to the press.
At the start of the presentation, Apple lauded the iPhone's performance pointing out that it is now sold in 80 countries. Stated presenter, Greg Joswiak, "Before we shipped our first phone, we set an aggressive goal -- we said we'd sell 10 million phones. And we sold 13.7m. We blew it away. We've sold 17m altogether, you can see how people have accepted the 3G. But the touch also runs the same OS, and if you look at the time period, we've sold over 30m units of iPhones and iPod touch."
Apple also plugged the development community, saying that it has received 800,000 SDK download requests and has 50,000 companies and individuals working on developing Apps. Apple defended its track record of approvals, which has received a lot of attention of late, saying that it approved 96 percent of submitted Apps, rejecting a mere 4 percent.
Scott Forstall, Apple's SVP of iPhone software was on hand to demo the new v3.0 OS and new SDK. He started by announcing 1,000 new APIs in the new SDK. He states, "Let me tell you what we're doing for developers. Our goal was to make devs successful, we gave them the best tools ever. It blew us away what they did. We've spent the last year working hard to make the SDK even better."
In a major announcement he revealed that developers will now have the ability to create Apps with so-called "in App purchases." This means that subscription Apps like magazines or shareware should now be possible. The purchase is tied to iTunes just like a standard App download and like downloads, Apple gets a 30 percent cut, including fees, and hands the rest to the developer.
More SDK announcements include the addition of Bluetooth and automatic discovery APIs. This should allow multiplayer Apps. Also new, developers will have new APIs to talk to hardware peripherals -- like attached speakers. The APIs will likely bring one feature the iPods have long lacked -- FM radio -- to the iPhone and the iPod Touch via third part hardware, says Apple. Apple also says that medical device makers like blood pressure cuff makers are interested in using the iPhone as a readout for their devices.
Apple is including a Maps API in the new OS/SDK for use with creating turn-by-turn directions.
One of the biggest pieces of news, though, was that Apple has revised its server setup to support push notification, a feature the presenters admitted was "overdue". Push notifications are a means for non-running Apps like IM clients to receive and display alerts to the user while they're using another program -- say Safari. Apple says in testing push notifications only dropped battery life 20 percents, versus full background (running multiple Apps at once), which dropped batter life 80 percent or more.
EA was on hand to announce The Sims for the iPhone. At the original SDK launch they had announced Spore for the iPhone. In a decidedly different application announcement, Johnson and Johnson announced an iPhone blood sugar reade.
Oh, and after about an hour and five minutes of other stuff, Apple announced that the OS v3.0 is
bring cut, copy, and paste, as rumored, to the iPhone
. Copy and paste is accomplished by double clicking words to copy them and then sliding your finger to select a block of text. Shaking undoes paste jobs. The feature will work in SMS messages, Safari and more.
Speaking of "more" -- Apple announced MMS support as well. Support for landscape email was also announced.
The SDK is available in beta form today, while the new OS will be released to customers in June as a free iPhone update. Disappointing for some is that iPod Touch owners will have to shill out $9.95 for the new OS. Also iPhone first generation customers won't have access to MMS.
In all Apple has delivered on many rumors -- push notifications, copy and paste, turn by turn, FM radio support (via third party), MMS messaging, and landscape email. It has failed to deliver on others, though -- Flash, new hardware, officials plans for tethering, and background applications. As with the iPhone itself, the new OS is still a work in progress, but one with a lot of attractive features at least.

RE: Ya got me
The one that really pleases me is A2DP support -- I'd pretty much given up on them putting that in, but here it is. Nice surprise, that.

it's not like Microsoft has done that great with tablets and other micro devices up til now. In fact, my young man has just ordered us matching 10" Galaxy Tabs. Yes, I wish they had more memory, but they can take a memory card, so I'm sure I'll manage.
I think the first hurdle HP has to get over is that people aren't expecting a product like Surface from them.
Does HP's offering make any difference to Surface adoption do you think?
I also voted intriguing but I need to learn more about it. I would want to look into it more before buying.
I voted that it's intriguing but I need to learn more about it. I've witnessed people using it, and its integration of Windows 8 and utilization of Office 365 cloud service is indeed intriguing. The problem is I've owned arguably the best tablet on the market; the iPad (version 1 and 2) and soon enough it turns into an unused paper weight.
Surface rocks. I have a Windows 8 machien with touch screen, and was able to try out a surface next to the gate prior to boarding at Austring Bergstrom Airport.
Surface Pro - go with.
Apologies go out to all four-legged dogs!

These are the three concepts/components how -in essence- future (online) business will be shaped and how new opportunities, models and markets can and shall be created. Seen from an abstract point of view, personalization is the front-end of the process, customization is the back-end of the process and collaboration is how these two interact and ultimately benefit from co-creation or at least create a win-win situation.
Basically it's a market need and demand, a consumerist trend to want it the way the customers want it, when they want it and where they want it. Users get personalized content/products/services served based upon preferences specified in the process like interest, location or any other measurable characteristic which can be used to describe the personalization.
Besides the benefits of personalization, which are relevancy and time-efficiency amongst the most important ones, personalization still has many challenges to overcome. The most important one is privacy and the acquisition of data, on which personalization is effectuated.
There are three methods to achieve personalization, through the implicit, explicit and the hybrid way.
Implicit personalization makes use of tracking the users' purchases, or click paths or any kind of habit that characterize the user. Explicit personalization makes use of explicit information which can be found in forms, itineraries and other means of extracting information. Hybrid personalization is a combination of the two abovementioned methods and is -for instance- deployed by Amazon.com.
Examples of personalizations are:
* eBay's Selling form which adapts it functionalities based upon the learning curve the user is going through;
* Amazon's product recommendation engine;
* Google Reader and
* Google Search and its increasing personalized SERP's.
Customization is the back-end of the production-process. It are IT abilities that make it possible to serve and produce content/products/services on the personalized needs and demand of the customer, it's not yet always profitable, due to scaling and the market, but the first steps are being made.
(Mass) Customization can refer to two areas of application: first of all, customization refers to the context within the same range as personalization, that users can modify the website to their needs and only display what is wanted. Secondly, Mass customization can be defined as a complex business strategy, which goal is to produce goods and provide services on a large scale, customized to the individual needs of every customer with the efficiency of mass production.
(Mass) Customization can be aimed at maximizing customer satisfaction because they purchase their content/product/service customized by their individual preferences. The Internet is the perfect medium to support mass customization in keeping the costs at a minimum level.
Areas of application for mass customization are:
* Travel;
* Content delivery;
* Transport means: cars, bikes;
* Shoes;
* Software and many more.
Both personalization and (mass) customization are powerful means to attract users and customers, increase loyalty and retention, which paradoxically is achieved by the input of the customers themselves.
Collaboration is the –already- initiated way of conducting business amongst each other and towards end-users.Think dialogue instead of appointing, think prosumerism instead of production.Having in mind personalization and customization, collaboration is the effect of the two. Throughout the process the customer mingles in, to get its personalized needs, and co-creates together with the producer the content/product/service which is enabled by the customized infrastructure and processes, fully customized to individual preferences.
Whilst the utopian hypersegmentation or 1-on-1 marketing might be far from reality, but more and more markets are becoming niches based upon refined corresponding characteristics which create smaller and smaller segments and inherently become more hypersegmented.
Blue Ocean Strategy approach - value creation and cost control
The new trinity also corresponds with Blue Ocean strategies in terms of creating new value at a low cost.
In the new business trinity, value is more and more facilitated by the company and (co-)created by their customers. Lower costs, CAPEX and OPEX, are being achieved simultaneously with the value creation/innovation, because it's more relevant and engaging with the customer than in conventional scenarios and it leaves out the costly parts that often triggers competition.
At the TelecomTV Resolutions, experts from around the globe debated on how to get the most from the cloud through collaboration, for instance:
Service Providers need to take a serious look at how the manage – and indeed retain – their customers. There are still some major internal doubts about the effect of cloud on jobs and company structure – change always scares people – but cloud represents an opportunity, it's not a threat.
This well indicates that concepts as cloud and collaboration intrinsically are changing the way we conduct business. The rigid TV industry is about to experience this, one way or another. Change might be difficult, but inevitable. The three pillars of new business are creating new opportunities, and that's a fact.

I would like to pick one up to test it out. The closest place is BestBuy for me, but i do not know what is good or bad. Here is what they have: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=abcat0503003&type=category need one that works with vista 64
I'm using wireless N as well it's far better for gaming then G but still not as good as direct connect. I believe all of those work for vista. 3 antennas are always better than one and that Extreme N is probably the best on that list as long as you match it with an equally as good WAN. EDIT:http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8333868&type=product&id=1175902229730 THAT'S THE BEST 1
I use to use the Belkin G+MIMO and it was far faster than the N, why, I have no clue as the router was a wireless N. Plus it had further range than the 2 wireless Ns I had. Call me crazy but true.
i CAN SECOND THAT but with a netgear MIMO-g it died a few months ago but it did seem a lot faster it only had a 270mbps(I think this was a PRE draft N model that became N in the end) transfer where as my wireless N is supposed to be 300mbps
Funny thing is, they are $10-$15 cheaper than the Ns at Wal-Mart. it was the USB version. I cant remember what the speeds were on mine. The card just died from me tinkering with it. Tried some extension mods and got mad and killed it lol. I get destructive if hardware dont go my way Oh well Im hooked straight to the router now. You could get some adapters cheap on the net, I wouldnt go to a retailer anywhere, they mark up prices alot
This is what I'm using: http://www.hawkingtech.com/products/productlist.php?CatID=19&FamID=33&ProdID=302 I've found Hawking to produce the best wireless adapters (I've tried Linksys, Netgear, Buffalo, D-Link, Belkin, and several other brands...I have about 10-15 different wireless adapters).
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=272959 Exact one I had and I could get my local Bars wireless about a quarter mile down the road!
Just my $.02 - I've been a fan of D-Link hardware for the longest time, and have never had any issues . . . I can't speak from experience, but I've known a couple of buddies who've had problems with Belkin or Linksys, although, Belkin seems to fare almost as well as D-Link . . . I'd recommend staying away from Linksys entirelly. I'm currently using a D-Link Extreme N PCI adapter, and it has excellent range and pickup, as well as speed. I can pick up the crap-tastic Verizon FiOS router from 20' and through 5 different walls, with 95% signal strength (while another rig closer to the router, using a different adapter maxes out at 30%).
But if you get one from wal mart you can take it back no questions asked as long as you have the receipt original and with in 30 days.
I see, lots of info here. I think I too am leaning towards a D-Link/belkin one. But I still have one question, the D-Link Wireless usb adapter i have seems to have lots of trouble when i play games as it has these freezing up times quite often. Does this happen to all usb adapters? I mean i have pretty much full bars on my connection, and my download speeds are pretty nice as well.
Well it only happened when someone used the microwave or moved the router. But as to just randomly doing it, it was once in a great while.
EDIMAX are quite good. I especially like their small 54g/108g USB dongles that allow you to screw a different antenna in... thats how i roll
I guess the usb adapter i have just sucks or something. Its a D-Link DWA-140 RangeBooster N USB Adapter. Perhaps theres some settings that can make it work better?

Doppio: Issue 03
The Doppio is Rapha's weekly double-shot of road racing reportage. A two-faced publication of the week's action and what's up the road, every Wednesday we review and preview the week's biggest races and fill you in on the details in between. Available in all Cycle Clubs – San Francisco, London and Osaka – we'll also be offering the Doppio as a downloadable document on the site each week, absolutely free.
Week three discusses the consequences of Boonen's crash in the Ronde van Vlaanderen and takes as close a look as it was possible to get, without being in a helicopter over Belgium, at the Ronde voor Vrouwen It also indulges some wild anti-speculation, based strictly on historical precedent, about Paris-Roubaix which, if you hadn't noticed, is coming up on Sunday. And last but not least, from speculation to scarification: Rapha-sponsored Junior Team GB rider Tao Geoghegan Hart tells of the untimely end to his Junior Paris-Roubaix 2012, and his hopes for when he takes to the cobbles again this weekend.
Best enjoyed with an espresso or two.

The Navy made Pax River history July 29 with the historic first flight of the X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) demonstrator. At 1100 EDT, the tailless, unmanned aircraft launched from Patuxent River NAS in Maryland (Pax River) and flew for a planned 35 minutes. The aircraft reached an altitude of 7,500 feet and an air speed of 180 knots during its flight over the Chesapeake Bay before successfully landing back at the base.
"This milestone event is the first of many flights at Pax River to demonstrate X-47B's compatibility with aircraft carrier flight procedures and launch/recovery equipment," said Matt Funk, UCAS lead test engineer. "The unique airspace and ship equipment at Pax River allow us to conduct the testing here before we land aboard the aircraft carrier next year." The X-47B traveled from Edwards Air Force base, CA, to Pax River in June to enter its next phase of testing. UCAS-D team members will utilize the specialized testing capabilities and facilities available at Pax River in the coming months to validate the X-47B's ability to perform in an aircraft carrier environment.
One of the testing facilities at Pax River is a simulated aircraft carrier environment, which will allow team members to ensure the aircraft is ready to operate in testing at sea. Land-based testing will establish X-47B has the ability to conduct precision approaches and to perform arrested landings and catapult launches prior to actual aircraft carrier operations.
"The X-47B's flight today is another important step closer to the Navy's vision of operating tailless, autonomous, unmanned systems from aircraft carriers," said Capt. Jaime Engdahl, Navy UCAS program manager.

SBW Chook?

He return to NRL appears to depend on him honouring a handshake he made.
Talk about being damned by faint praise. One of SBW's friends has given Trent Robinson the impression that SBW is "quite a good person."
Seeing the name SBW and the word 'circus' in the same sentence is a bit of a concern.

His return to NRL appears to depend on him honouring a handshake he made.
Well, we all know how well he 'honoured' his agreed and signed contract at Canterbury...

The plus side for rugby league is he's a top drawer player, crowds will be up when he's playing, there'll be greater media interest in the games, especially against the Bulldogs, and if you're still bitter take heart from the fact that any fellow NRL pro's who arent happy with what he's done will be looking to batter him up and down the park for the whole season, which should make for great entertainment for the rest of us
Posted 14 November 2012 - 04:58 PM
As for the media interest, again that's a fair point as from what I can tell the NRL are using him in some pre-season publicity shoots. However it's easy to see why he will have a mountain to climb to reclaim any sort of respect, even of the grudging kind, for many fans. Maybe the NRL in using him in publicity think that all publicity is good publicity.

Not sure how happy he will be about the shoulder charge rule though!!

NRL says SBW situation very different to that of Izzy Folau.
According to well-placed sources, the delay came because the NRL wanted to include Williams's boxing prize money in the club's salary cap.
The NRL says it has considered this but has chosen not to include Williams's boxing earnings in the Roosters' salary cap.
Common sense was the winner on the day. Williams, 27, is expected at Roosters training in early February.
Full story here
Common sense? Not sure about that, more like commercial sense or a reaction to losing Folau.
Posted 21 December 2012 - 12:34 PM
The wait is finally over for Sonny Bill Williams, with the ARLC informing the Sydney Roosters that the code-hopping superstar's 2013 playing contract has been registered.
After signing a one year deal with the Roosters on November 13, it's been a drawn out process for salary cap auditor Ian Schubert to approve the deal.
Posted 27 December 2012 - 03:00 AM
Posted 03 January 2013 - 01:16 PM
So $BW isn't a big head after all.With NRL salary cap auditor Ian Schubert taking almost a month to register the contract of Sonny Bill Williams, the Roosters were unable to include their prized signing in pre-Christmas membership campaigns.
The only evidence of his imminent arrival is a small head shot on a banner that runs along the top of the club's official homepage.

In the last hour i've been reading forums and watching videos and pretty much everyone is complaining that the game runs like crap even of powerful hardware (like E8400 + Radeon 4870 shown in this video (read the description) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w5CQRlO430) and that the game won't let them go beyond medium settings, bla bla bla... and then I come across this post from GTAforums: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=378730 There, you have some sort of disclaimer that seems (to me at least) like a lame apology for the game running and looking like crap. They say that this game is meant for the future generation of hardware??!! How much bullshit is that? What's the point even? I mean, the game looked awesome on consoles that are running on 3-yr-old hardware that basically would get destroyed and obliterated by current PC hardware... and even powerful PC's are being raped by this game? Does anyone think this is just a bad console port? How can a solid, powerful CPU like that and a top-end GPU run the game like crap?
Bad console port? Yes... Ambitious console port? Yes!!! I knew from playing GTA4 on my console, that the game will require a great amount of engine coding and optimization to work on a PC. R* has spent a great amount of time and money making the game on the console, so having it ported over for the PC within 6-7 months is very short...especially to support the array of hardware out their. And this is not like the other GTA's on the PC. For GTA4 PC...R* has to port the RAGE engine, and euphoria, which has yet to be done in any other game. Even though the console are based on 2 generation old hardware, it just shows that proper coding for them can do...
I dont think the youtube link you provided is too bad. Sure it could be even better, but its pretty impressive: it's better than previous GTA versions. >> I watched the whole clip right through. It's just amazing to see how this has come on since GTA2 (first GTA game i played).
Rockstar is one of the few publishers that actually tries to get ports right. Grand Theft Auto 3 (and sons) and Bully: Scholarship Edition were done exceptionally well. Maybe this new engine they are using for GTA4 isn't as good at porting (rather, designed to be a rapid port so they don't spend the time to get everything just right). I don't know for sure because I haven't played it yet...
Guy could have his system setup like crap. Also the game is supposed to look alot better on PC than Console. Supposedly they tuned the graphics down to run on the older console hardware.
yes it is supposed to look better but the graphics quality settings are limited based on how much VRAM you have. 2 4850's(512MB) in crossfire are limited to medium texture quality. if you are using Crossfire or SLI it only detects the VRAM on one of the cards
that is exactly what happen with crysis, when it first came out no one could play it on high at high resolutions and a couple of generations later we can, so it will happen the same, wait a year to play it on high and you are done
Dunno about you but that vid made me want to buy it LMAO. Thing is today people will bitch what ever is done. Always some one complaining some thing not look as good as they want some thing or a game crushes there comp when it does have high requirements. Only thing i see wrong is the min and max specs on the box should of been higher.
Considering the game is 13+ GiB on disk and over 16 GiB installed, most of that density is probably comprised of high resolution textures. Then consider the type of game (open) GTA is. I don't know what Rockstar was smoking but those things combined are just ridiculous. I'd say it wouldn't be far fetched to require a 2-4 GiB video card in order to not down scale images. Bottom line: consoles ain't got nothing on what the PC version is designed to do even if no PC hardware is on par to do it.
I've been playing it for the past few hours and it's good. The fact of the matter is there are so many textures that need to be drawn in this game that anything below a GTX280 won't cut it at it's highest settings. I'm playing at 1920x1200 on a 4870 and I'm getting around 30fps with no big drops in framerate.
ya but no AA is no excuse for a PC game. that goes to prove that Rockstar made some mistake in porting it. also, its a way to say that next gen PC's will play this game on max, rather than accepting your own mistakes for bad coding. Crysis didn't have that excuse, so it will be slammed more than this game
because thats all there is. crossfire and SLI do not add ram. dont blame rockstar, for the video card manufacturers problem.
I'll order it soon when I have the money for my new ram (soon!) and see what it can do on a quad and 4870X2..hopefully over 40fps at 1920x1080..either way, should look fantastic on my 40"
eh? Perhaps you are confused how croffire/SLI works. It is 2x512MB. Each GPU gets its own 512MB. If you have a texture, it has to be IN BOTH memories. It has to duplicate everything. So OF COURSE there is only 512MB memory to play with for graphics settings. The other 512MB is just "mirroring" (to some extent) what is already happening in the other 512MB. YOU CANNOT LOAD 800MB of graphics assets into a 512MB memory map. Likewise you cannot load 800MB of graphics into a memory map of 512MB on one GPU and another 512MB on another GPU. There is NO ring bus between the memories. GPU 1 cannot access memory of GPU 2 and vice versa.
As i posted on another gta thread rockstar posted this info on their site somewere help tweak some settings
Come on! :shadedshu I was really waiting for this but now I'm totally disapointed. Future hardware my ass. How much memory does the 360 or the ps3 video card have? Cause if it can run at 720p on those consoles it should run at 1080p on a good PC. This sucks.
Last FAIL game of this Year. Lots of great and much anticipated games were released this year, but were FAILS due to graphic settings or gameplay. STALKER: CS - FAIL due to high graphic demand and not so good as original STALKER and bugs FARCRY 2 - Probably the biggest FAIL, silly and repetitive gameplay elements. Good looking tho NFS Undercover - EA , enough said GTA IV - most anticipated , FAIL, run rockstar social club and games for windows just to run the game ? what kind of DRM sh*t is that. Blame current hardware for bad coding and say that next gen hardware will run the game on full settings. ROFAIL COD:W@W - WWII , not again ! :shadedshu Whats up with such a linear gameplay, you can't even climb small hill or cross over small trees on the side. Partial FAIL
This game(I have not tried or looked at pc yet)on PS3 dragged. It would have slow downs all over. When I seen that I knew that on a PC your gong to need one hell of a killer setup to run. Tri 280GTX or Dual 4870x2 is the only way I see it going on with a top high end quad at 4.0Ghz. This is just my guess tho...... Has anyone started to try and rename the for the exe? See if Like obliovon.exe is better or so forth..

First up this log is not sponsored, really the only logs of value IMO. Second I'm from the U.K so all steriod use has been legal.
I've just been on a Test cycle done at 500mg per week and used D-bol to taper for the last 3 weeks at 40mg per day. Iranian test which was so so and body research d-bol which was sh1t hot. HCG was run at 500 iu twice a week through out cycle.
My post cycle therapy will be as follows:
Clomid 50mg day - 3 weeks
Tamoxifen 25mg day - 4weeks
Aromisin - 20mg day (I suffer from estrogen sides) for the first 10-14 days
Nos ether - started 3 days before end of cycle (1 pack)
Diesel test hardcore - started 5 days before end of cycle 1 1/2 packs
Trib test (Get diesels old LH booster) - started 5 days into post cycle therapy
Vit c - 100mg every morning during post cycle therapy
Clenbuterol - 20mcg every morning during PCT
Melatonin - one tab before bed during PCT
St.Johns Wort - one tab before bed during PCT
Get diesel products will be ran at max dose during PCT as per instructions. The last four supps are for reducing cortisol during PCT.
My diet is normaly low carb on all meals except post workout, this will be discussed with Chuck though as NOS Ether contains some nutrient partitioners that may require carbs. In general think a Vince Gironda style diet - High protein, Medium Fat, low carb.
PCT starts monday so so far I'm on my second day of Nos and third day of DTHC, not to much to report and I'll start this log off on tuesday when I'll be suffering from very low androgens

Let me get this straight: I am not watching the Royal Wedding. Other than the small part of me that feels bad for Kate having to put up with worldwide media attention during her wedding when being a bride is an already nightmarishly stressful thing, I don't have an opinion about any of it.
However, I realized the other day, when talking to a friend about the wedding watching party he's throwing, that I apparently *do* have an opinion about what the proper drink for such a party would be, and therefore think I ought to share it here. That drink is a Pimm's Cup. It's alcoholic enough to be worthy of the occasion without being *so* alcoholic that one is stuck spending the next 18 hours wondering why the hell one thought it would be a good idea to begin drinking hours before anyone should ever consider getting out of bed. Plus it's as English as any drink could be.
Pimm's is a flipping glorious liqueur-type thing known as a fruit cup - essentially a base of alcohol that gets tarted up with the addition of fruits - that gets mixed with fruit or lemonade or ginger ale or whatever else to have something lovely and lightly alcoholic to enjoy while standing around outside during the heat of the summer. Pimm's No. 1, the only Pimm's anyone Stateside is going to have any luck getting their grubby hands on,* is gin-based (as any good English drink should be) and tastes like a melange of citrus and cherry and cucumber and spice (largely clove, allspice and coriander) and a few hints of juniper. I can't say that it's bitter and I can't say it's particularly sweet or dry or anything else – I'll stick with "fruity" and maybe, *maybe* bittersweet. Pimm's is fairly syrupy in texture, and can taste a little thick on its own. To get a sense of the potential of Pimm's, have a bit of Pimm's and soda: that will let you taste the flavor without dealing with the stickiness it has on its own. After that, go straight to the Pimm's Cup.
As far as I can tell, there are several different recipes for a "proper" or "authentic" Pimm's Cup. Here are a couple of versions:
Pour over ice:
2 oz Pimm's
Top with bitter lemon soda, lemonade, 7up or ginger ale
Garnish with lemon and cucumber
For extra funsies:
Muddle lightly:
1 slice orange
1 slice lemon
1 small slice cucumber
2-3 mint leaves
2 oz Pimm's
Shake, pour over ice
Top with lemonade, lemon-lime soda or ginger ale
There's a variation I tripped across called a Royal Pimm's, which is 2 oz of Pimm's poured into a champagne flute and topped with sparkling wine. Should you feel moved to toast the couple from the comfort of your couch and your pajamas, that might be the most appropriate way to go about it.
People, Pimm's is yummy, and it's become much easier to find over the past few years. Try some sometime, whether you're planning on watching the royal nuptials or not. Beware the added alcohol, though: a Pimm's Cup is not a hugely alcoholic drink, meaning it'll be easier to work on than a flute or two of Pimmed-up sparkling wine would be. That is, if you have to worry about going to work after the wedding. If you don't, then have at having whatever you want.
Me, I'll be asleep.
Fun terminology learnings: this is a long drink. A "long drink" is any sort of cocktail that is comprised of alcohol and mixers and designed to be consumed in relatively large volumes. A "short drink" would be the opposite – a drink that is pretty much entirely made out of alcohol, designed to be sipped in small volumes. Think of the difference between a Gin and Tonic and a Manhattan: volume-wise, if you drank the same volume of liquid in a Manhattan that you'd normally drink in a Gin and Tonic, you'd be on the floor. Or, well, I would be anyway.
*There were, in the past, Pimm's Nos. 1-6, all based on different alcohols. No. 1 is gin-based, as I've said already. No. 3 is brandy-based and seasonally available in a few places (probably all in the UK, I'm guessing). No. 6 is vodka-based and still made in small batches.
The rest have been discontinued. I'm giving you this info for the sake of completion:
- No. 2 was Scotch whisky-based
- No. 4 was rum-based**
- No. 5 was rye whiskey-based***
**cue a series of "why's the rum gone?" quotes
***yes, I got the whisky/whiskey spellings correct. Yes, there are two spellings: Scotch whisky never uses the 'e', but everything else does. There are people out there who will get pissed at an almighty level should one get the "e" wrong (especially on the Scotch side of things), so just file this bit of spelling wonkery in there with every other bit of spelling wonkery in the English language and go on with your life.

This month I want to explore the way in which we interact with new equipment and how we can optimize that experience. When it comes to new gear (and by gear, I mean all appliances—TVs, DVD players, computers, etc.), I believe that people fit into one of two categories.
Category 1 includes those folks who, once the new purchase has been unwrapped, proceed to read the instruction manual from cover to cover. Individuals in this category may even have read online manuals for the device prior to purchase. They want to hear what the company that produced the unit has to say, and they want to know the full range of options their new appliance is capable of.
Category 2 describes those who immedi-ately start to use the unit the moment theypull it from the box. These people learn asthey go. Category 2 people are often quiteintuitive and they enjoy the process of dis-covery. I've always been a Category 2 person,that is until quite recently. I believe whenit comes to music gear, approaching thingswith a blank slate can reap great dividends—no preconceptions to color what couldpotentially amount to innovative and uniquesounds. Category 2 folks display an almostanti-establishment attitude: "Screw the direc-tions, I'll find my own way of using this!"I think this is one of the reasons Applehas arrived at where they are. The com-pany's approach has always been to makethings as intuitive as possible—things arewhere you expect them to be, and whenyou need something, it seems to almostmagically appear. Apple's devices are socleverly engineered that users can whip adevice out of the box, turn it on, and geton with what they want to do.
Now, let's bring the discussion back to guitar-specific gear. Be it the most straightforward fuzz pedal or a complex rackmounted DSP device, I urge you all, read the manual. Treats a-plenty await.
To give you an example: Some years ago I was gifted an EHX 2880 Stereo Multi-Track Looper. I attempted to use my "get in there and rock out" approach. Not such a good idea. I got it to work. I got it to record and I got it to loop. But not to a point where I could use it live. Fast-forward five years, where suddenly I was in a gigging situation that urgently needed a looper. I thought, "Hmm, it could be time to check out the 2880 again." So I did and I also read the manual. Handy. Very, very handy. Suddenly it all became a lot clearer and I cheerfully floated off into loop land—a magical destination I could have spent the previous five years frequenting, had I embraced the rite of manual reading earlier.
Some manuals will offer nothing new to the user, but the only way you'll find this out is by reading it. The worst-case scenario is there are no hidden gems and you can provide yourself with a celebratory slap on the back for "already knowing all there is to know" about device X. However, there just might be goodies—unanticipated bounty for the intrepid manual reader— that could open doors to previously unconsidered sonic vistas. This would be rather lovely, don't you think?
Finally, in my previous column ["Stop ... Smell the Roses," January 2012] I asked readers to submit their most off-the-wall guitar tone story. Thanks to everyone who entered, I read some wonderful tales of using headphones as microphones, 4-track recorders being blown up, and the attempt to faithfully reproduce Eddie Van Halen's "You Really Got Me" tone with a Peavey Rage. I'm happy to announce that Chad K is our winner—a shiny new Medusa is on its way to you now! You can check out his story in the online version of this article at premierguitar.com or on the Red Witch Facebook page ( facebook.com/redwitchped-als). Until next time—keep rocking!
The box that changed my viewpoint on reading manuals: The Electro-Harmonix 2880 Stereo Multi-Track Looper. I wish I'd dug into this five years ago.

Home ›Director poses options to tax
(CNS Business): Local financial expert and director of one of Cayman's largest business conglomerates, Don Seymour, is the latest person to wade in on alternatives to the premier's direct tax proposals, many of which appear to have been ignored. Seymour has proposed an infrastructure fee based on miles driven that could bring in some $40 million, as well as directorship fees, boat licensing fees, garbage fees attached to water bills and a liquidator fee. However, despite the premier's calls for solutions, most of Seymour's ideas appear to have been rejected. Warning that government will not collect on the payroll tax, Seymour is mystified why government has not consulted anyone on such a critical issue.
"This is the most important decision that our country has ever faced yet it's evident that our community was not consulted on such a drastic change in our economy," said Seymour, who is the managing director of DMS Offshore Investment Services and the founder of the dms conglomerate, one of Cayman's most successful homegrown businesses.
"It's inexplicable that the government would hold a referendum to gauge public sentiment for OMOV [one man, one vote] yet unilaterally decide that it's acceptable to impose direct taxation. A question that significant should have been on the referendum ballot as the taxation decision was literally announced days after the vote. Imposing direct taxation makes OMOV seem trivial; and even Greece consulted its people," Seymour told CNS Business this week.
One of a number of people from the private sector who are believed to have offered options to the payroll tax, Seymour said government had to find a rational as well as sustainable approach to balancing its budget.
"It cannot expect to finance its deficits on any one segment of our community," he said. "Implementing a payroll tax would remove our competitive advantage in attracting talent to the Cayman Islands. It would also dramatically increase the cost of doing business, simply because the employer pays the employee."
The tax added to work permit fees would make it considerably more expensive to hire in Cayman than any competing jurisdiction, Seymour said, as he warned that collecting and enforcing would be costly and virtually impossible. "The government is trying a hit an extremely fast moving and ingenious target with the payroll tax. There is little chance that payroll tax legislation can keep pace with the speed and agility of tax structuring in the private sector."
Although there has been virtually no consultation on how government can address its mounting public financial crisis during this budget cycle, Seymour said he had been asked about the directorship fee, but even he did not know whether government had followed through with his recommendations or had come up with another plan because he had not been shown any details.
in addition to his suggestion about the directorship fee, he proposed an infrastructure fee that could raise around $40 million for roads and infrastructure. With 55,000 registered vehicles in Cayman that are licensed and inspected by DVL, all of which have odometers, government could implement a road user fee of 10 cents per mile and collection would require only a simple software change at DVL.
He said the fee could be varied and higher for commercial or luxury vehicles and less for eco-cars and drivers in the eastern districts could get annual credits. "It's a very flexible structure to accommodate the varied needs of the community," Seymour added, but government has dismissed it on the basis that it will hurt poor people.
"The fear that the infrastructure fee would impact poor people is not well founded. Poor people don't own cars," he said, speaking from knowledge because of the many people he supports in the community. "Having any car in Cayman brings expenses. Government requires the car to be registered and insured. To be registered it needs to be road-worthy so it needs to be maintained properly, which means repair expenses and mechanics are not cheap. Insurance is not cheap. Fuel is not cheap."
Seymour also suggested a liquidator fee. Insolvency, he said, is a major business in Cayman and a fee of $5 - $10 per insolvency hour would be insignificant when added to a bill but could raise many millions for government. "Every structure that is established eventually dissolves so it is justifiable that CIG earns a fee at the beginning, during and now at the end of the life of the structure, since a proper functioning infrastructure is needed throughout to support the industry," he said. "These funds could be earmarked for the construction of the new court house that is so badly needed by the judiciary."
Like most people in the private sector, despite being Caymanian and not impacted by the tax, Seymour warned of the real dangers associated with this type of tax.
He also said the discriminatory nature of the tax was not just between expatriates and Caymanian employees but between government employed expatriates who will not be caught in the payroll tax net and private sector ones who will.
"Even if discrimination between Caymanians and expats is permitted under the Constitution, surely discrimination between public and private sector employees must not," he added.
Here's a suggestion
Here's my suggestion for a simpler and fairer alternative to Don Seymour's idea of a road usage fee based on miles travelled: replace the flat fee for an annual car licence (currently $185 if I recall correctly) with one based on the engine capacity of the car. I would suggest $0.10 per c.c. of engine capacity. All log books show the cc of the engine, so it would not require any significant change to the system.
On that basis those driving smaller-engined (and therefore almost invariably more economical and less polluting) vehicles would pay less than those driving large, expensive vehicles. A 1.6L car would even, at that rate of fee, be slightly cheaper to license than at present. However, a 5.7L SUV would be charged $570. Since the vast majority of the 55,000 cars on the roads have engines bigger than 1.8L, many of them considerably so, this would raise several millions of dollars in revenue.
But most importantly it would do so in an absolutely equitable manner, and at no additional cost to collect.
I can see the point that a mileage-based fee penalises those with long commutes to work, or who have to drive for medical or other reasons (it also creates an incentive to the dishonest to falsify their odometer reading). But under my suggestion it does not matter how many miles you drive, and it is in essence a voluntary tax. You may have to drive, but you do not have to drive a monster truck. And let's face it, if you can afford a 5 litre car, you can afford $500 a year to license it.
Yes, cutting expenditure should be the priority, but we have to face the reality that some additional revenue will have to be raised. If that is the case, let it at least be fair, easy to collect and hard to evade. I believe my suggestion meets those tests.
Everyone please stop with
Everyone please stop with ideas of how to raise revenue that the govt will just waste. Ideas should be to save money. Stop spending on ridiculous project eg the free solar panels. (15mil). Stop the freeness.

Director poses options to tax
"Having any car in Cayman brings expenses. Government requires the car to be registered and insured. To be registered it needs to be road-worthy so it needs to be maintained properly, which means repair expenses and mechanics are not cheap. Insurance is not cheap. Fuel is not cheap."
Mr. Don Seymour, I'm afraid that you are contradicting yourself here. I have a very modest car. I struggle to pay all those fees that you have outlined. I cannot possibly afford to pay any more but it is critical that I have my car since there are a number of issues, one being medical, and unfortunately the bus system is still not great. Better than it was but they do not cover all routes and there is still a fair amount of walking involved. Due to a medical condition, I cannot undertake that.
I know that you do a lor for the community and I want to commend you for that. However, this suggestion is not a good one unless you are prepared to personally help those of us who need it. For starters, you could lower the motor vehicle insurance rates offered by your company.
Seymour for Premier! Some
Seymour for Premier! Some excellent suggestions.
the problem is the government
the problem is the government is refusing to make cuts, they need to meet the issue half way...
Most East End drivers do a
Most East End drivers do a average of 10000 to 25000 miles per year on their cars so it looks like the new license fee for those would be around $2500.00 per year, I think we pay enough already with the gas taxes per gallon and the car fees to licensing depart along with duty cost on the car when you import it, it is quite simple tell the Gov't to stop spending wastefully then come back to us in 10 years with new revenue ideas
Tax on cars
Seymours idea on cars was plains daft. How can you penalize people from East End and North Side that travel to George Town each day. As to poor people there are a lot of kids starting work that borrow from the banks to get new hot rod cars. Don you do not know your own people. Stick to providing thousands of directorships.
As to liquidation fees. Accountants provide lots of services including audit, accounting, company management, directorships and insolvency services and they pay very large fees for their licences. Why discriminate against liquidators. Way out man.
Can someone please explain
Can someone please explain why abandoned buildings such as the old Hyatt are left without heavty fines for every month or year they're kept their? I know the threat has been made but has there been any follow through? Following up on all the abandoned buildings would collect revenue and keep the island looking better wouldn't it?
Also why are large corporations such as the Ritz allowed to keep a running tab of outstanding duties owed without a payment plan?
Lastly why is a source of revenue such as simple traffic violations turned into an expense by sending them through the court system? The police give you a ticket and pay it at the DMV. Seems pretty simple to me. Of course I'm not referring to violations that could result in suspension of license.
According to this articlehttp
According to this articlehttp://cnsbusiness.com/content/cima-regulates-17-trillion the Cayman Islands regulates $1.7 Trillion. A small fee of 0.004% of each funds' assets under management would generate $68M in revenue for the Islands annually, meanwhile costing each fund $800 (for a fund with assets of $20M), $2000(for a fund with $50M) and $200,000 (for a fund with $5B).
As the numbers show, this 'community enhancement fee' will have but a small impact on funds' overall financial position, but a tremendous impact on the financial position of the Island.
Though some may argue that it will drive away funds from establishing here...compared to our top competitors, I'm sure this micro fee could be justified.
Fund Administrators are looking at tremendous increases in expenses (due to the fact that workers will demand more$ to compensate for new tax) which ultimately means a less talented workforce or less profit.
My $0.02
The "fund business", which is
The "fund business", which is the engine of Cayman's Financial Economy, is not an indentured servant that will endure tyranny on a whim. It is free to come and go as it likes, and it will flee if adversely penalized. Introduce any new additional costs which reduce our competitiveness and the business case for Cayman changes. The mere contemplation of taxation, introduces uncertainty, which repells serious investors.
Certainty amoungst investors
Certainty amoungst investors comes from knowing that a country has a stable government. The fee therefore would be a contribution directly to keeping the country that they depend on, in a state that remains beneficial for them. Win-Win situation. Everything has a price, even the stability of a nation. And what better way to stabalize than by taping into the very resource that has helped shape our growth all these years.
The biggest problem is communication, if it looks like an unfair tax - and is percieved to have no clear benefit to the fund managers, then why on earth would they want to stay here? Right now they are probably thinking funds will be hit next...That being said if this strategy was communicated in a way that they would understand the reason for it - to keep stability without introducing income tax - I'm sure they would be willing scrape a few crumbs our way.
No-one actually believes crap
No-one actually believes crap like this, do they?
No they won't. They only
No they won't. They only reason they deal with Cayman is to keep those "crumbs" in their pocket. They don't come because you're such fine and generous people.
Your argument is not logical.
Your argument is not logical. If setting up shop in Cayman saves a fund $10 more than the competitor, you're saying that they'll move if we charge $0.10 and they still make $9.90. You're saying that they'd rather accept $9.90 less by moving to somewhere else? Does that makes sense to you?
I am well aware that these funds are not here because of the aesthetics the island has to offer or the 'generous people' that you so sarcastically make reference to. It is common sense to know that they are here because it is financially benefical.
The point being: There is a margin to work with and adjusting that margin by a small amount (0.004%) will make but a small difference (crumbs) for them, but a large benefit for us.
You say they'll move because of the idea of direct taxation, I say they'll move quicker if theres no one here to process information and more importantly if the country faces political instability.
Stepping back, recall that Cayman was amongst the first of the offshore jurisdictions to 'comply'; that was considerably prior to the spectre of FATCA, and even today, Europe renews its intention in company with the major ONshore powers, to sort out OFFshore. Seems to me that Cayman energy is wasted by the widening of on-island divisions when resources need to be combined to maintain Cayman's dominance in offshore finance. I therefore find Seymour's discussion (and some others) an initial step back from the brink.
A tax is a tax is a tax! I
A tax is a tax is a tax! I say we address the unnecessary and unbelievable abuse in the spending of government funds before trying to milk the public more. STOP THE WASTE! STOP THE FRAUD! STOP THE GRAFT! STOP THE ______________! (You name it!)
Mileage Tax Bad - CI$/US$ Exchange Rate Deduction Better
I don't agree with the proposed miles driven charge. Some people people on modest incomes need a car to be able to keep their employment and the expenses of operating the car for that purpose already represent a major proportion of their income. It would also hit people doing school runs and the like unfairly. The people that would pay the least are those on the SMB strip that only drive from home to an office and George Town and back; yet many of those are the people with the highest incomes.
In any event if it was thought to be the right thing to tax why not just increase the price of fuel as consumption is mileage based and larger / inefficient cars would automatically pay more? Which may additionally have a spin of environmental benefit as it would incentivise people to buy more fuel efficient and electric vehicles.
I think the suggestion elsewhere that the Government take half of the spread on the US$/CI$ exchange rate is a good one. The exchange rate is fixed so the banks are currently making 2.4% on these transactions for nothing. In Bermuda where I believe the dollar is pegged at the same value as the US$ the banks get no such benefit as US$ and Bermuda currency can be used interchangeably. For avoidance of doubt the US$/CI$ exchange rate should be legislated to stay at the same rate so customers would not notice a difference, it would merely reduce the "money for nothing" earnings of the banks.
I don't usually agree with
I don't usually agree with this man, although he has obviously done a great deal to where he has gotten today, which I respect. And I do agree with some of the suggestions but most of all, how can the government waste so much money on nonsense to keep themselves in office and (apparently) not a penny on searching out alternative solutions that would keep the UK happy, balance the budget and maybe even secure more voters to them?? I don't care who comes up with the solutions, I spend my money on charitable contributions weekly and I see the return. I refuse to pay into a fund that will be swallowed by the big black hole of a pocket Mckeeva has.
It's a sad time for Cayman. It's hard for us, as Caymanians, because even though we are finally coming together, we are not being heard. Very disheartening and very frightening.

Instead of the road user fee why not just charge everybody $5 per day for sunshine? If it rains we wont have to pay, but if there is sunshine we have to pay...
Don Seymour suggesting a tax
Don Seymour suggesting a tax on directors is like turkeys voting for Xmas - they have so many directorships at dms between Don and his cronies that if the tax per appointment was decent enough dms could alone fill the budget deficit?
As you said they have so many
As you said they have so many directorships at dms, so if he's proposing a fee for the directorships, would his company not have to pay out the nose? So he's making the suggestion because he understands the term "sustainable income" and acknowledges the CIG's need for an increase in revenue!
No - his suggestion is
No - his suggestion is irrelevant - it's a done deal, but it's better to agree with something you can't stop, than object and be seen to be unable to stop the measure from being introduced?
It's the old 'Not invented
It's the old 'Not invented here' syndrome at work again.
This is exactly the same brickwall that blocks re-cycling, alternative energy, electric cars, in fact anything that makes sense.
Thank You Mr Seymour,
Mr. premier continues to claim that only those that "wish to harm the Cayman Islands" and "Create conflict in the community" oppose his new tax.
It is very comforting to have repsected business people like Mr. Seymour and Mr. Travers giving their unbiased opinions. People of thier stature cannot be ignored. We need more of these big business men to weigh in. If we all get together Mr. Premier cannot bully any more. He will have to listen because he cannot bully the whole island.
THANK YOU again Mr. Seymour for having the guts to step forward. You are not alone, we are all here with you.
Thank you for these
Thank you for these suggestions, I do hope someone in Government is listening.
Why can't government just balance the books properyly and stop wasting government funds. End of!
because votes in West Bay are
because votes in West Bay are REALLY expensive
Exactly. Why should everyone
Exactly. Why should everyone else have to pay for their incompetency?
This poor person lives in the
This poor person lives in the Eastern districts because I can't afford to live in town. I have caught the bus for the last 5 years and have finally managed to get an old, but roadworthy car. Compared to the absolutely appalling bus service we have in the Eastern Districts, I now actually get home in daylight and have a whole extra 2 hours a day. I am also able to get back out on a night after 8.00 pm, after the (useless) bus service has stopped. I have also discovered that other than the initial outlay in purchasing my vehicle, the cost of petrol per week is only marginally more than I paid to catch the bus. So I don't take Mr Seymour's comments about this proposed infrastructure tax lightly, nor do I appreciate it. For once, I am with the government on this one - this will only make us poor people suffer more.
Any blood left in the stone after this
I recall CIMA implemented introducing the regsitration of master funds this year. The Honourable Mr Bush (the Premier) - stated that the fee would raise and addtion $7million dollars per annum.
As this was not researched properly many of the expected master funds, did not meet the required definition and did not have to register.
I fear that the 10% proposed enhancement will be the same. Optamistic budgeting, but not enough research.
Statistically - there will be some people leaving now, particularly those in the middle income range of $37-$80k as other jursidiction pays better (even after tax). These people will be replaced after a few months - but at what cost. There will be the loss of the expected 10% fee, the loss of pension withdrawls, the loss of rental income and other monies spent around the island by this group of people. therefore we will not be able to obtain the expected 2012/13 revenue stream.
I am sure based on the audit general reports we will outspend our budgets (all goverments due) so we will therefore be in a worse position that expected.
Then what do we do??????
To all goverment officals, and the premiers office, Caymanians, Status holders and work permit holders - the cayman islands owes a significant amount of debt exess of $64million.
Why has the goverment not asked the people who live here (all of us) to donate or contirbute to reducing the debt?
If there are 45000 people in the island and at a min 5000 who earn over $150k a year, there are more than 100 firms who make greater than $10million profit a year - could the goverment just ask for a pledge and contribution to eliminate the debt.
The maths is easy:
5000 weathly indivudals donate $10,000 ($1,000 per month for 10 months) = $50 million
20 000 middle income (45-149K) to low income donate $1000 ( $100 per month for 10 months) = $20million
100 firms donate $100,000 = $10million
That is roughly $80 million dollars - that should eliminate the debt.
No taxes, no increased fees, fixes our country in 1 year.
and goverment can look at implementing a 5% enhancement fee to work permit instead of paying it to pension but the 5% pension contirbution by an employer would remain to ensure the investment power of the pension funds is not hurt.
These are alternatitives - unless Goverment asks we will not know if the people of Cayman would do so, but I would if it means stabilizing our country.
Oh great, so those of us who
Oh great, so those of us who simply cannot afford to live on SMB, South Sound and GT who have moved to the Eastern Districts would have to pay more taxes because we have further to travel to work? I think an infrastructure fee based on mileage is a ludicrous suggestion which only hits the poor people yet again.
