"There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart...pursue those."
"I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder , chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom... Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical."
"Unjust laws have to be fought ideologically; they cannot be fought or corrected by means of mere disobedience and futile martyrdom"
"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."
"As for me, to love you alone, to make you happy, to do nothing which would contradict your wishes, this is my destiny and the meaning of my life"
"We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive."

Gate City Musings: Where have you been up to, Mayor?
Why does our city's CEO feel she is exempt from the right-to-know law when it comes to her public travels?
When someone runs unopposed for the highest elected position in the state's second largest city, does arrogance come into play when the local media wants to know what she does with her time?
Does the mayor need two people to keep her "internal" and "external" schedules?
These questions and many more are surfacing since our duly-elected mayor decided to keep her public schedule private and away from the inquisitive reporters and electorate.
What's going on with our Board of Education and its attempt (or lack of an attempt) to keep an athletic director? Are the high school athletic programs and its host of coaches and assistant coaches so screwed up that they can't keep a director? The answer, of course, is no.
Main St. Rumblings ... Musings has learned that there has been some discussion at one of the Little City Halls (the one featuring sandwiches named after sports figures) about a petition to change the city charter eliminating a full-time mayor and allowing the naming of a professional city manager. Musings will follow this closely. Also heard was the gossip that yet another prominent city department head may be leaving not for greener pastures or retirement but for "personal reasons." Will the merry-go-round never stop?

Hello there, moviegoers, and hasn't this summer been a bit of a slog? The appropriately overcooked and instantly forgettable The Amazing Spider-Man 2 dropped only in May, but it's seemed like an eternity since we were giggling at Electrified Jamie Foxx™; now it's August, and the fall — aka "good movie season" — is just around the corner. Though this month offers little to look forward to from the studios (another Step Up, another Expendables, a Twister rip-off, and God help us, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot), here are some four-star indies to get you through to September. … Read More

8 Great Aubrey Plaza Funny or Die Videos to Watch Instead of 'The To Do List'
The good news is that, after something like a year of promotion, The To Do List, the teen sex comedy from writer/director Maggie Carey starring Aubrey Plaza, is out this week. The bad news is, it's not very good (in short: too long, too formulaic, only intermittently funny). But don't worry — Aubrey is great in it, as she is in pretty much everything. And if you decide to take a pass on this one, we've done a bit of a Funny or Die dig to find some of her funniest moments that you might not have seen. … Read More
It's Time to Fire Rex Reed
Let's get this out in the open: being a movie critic is a pretty easy job. It's not all fun and games and popcorn — you have to deal with publicists, for one thing, and coming up with new and intelligent things to say about cookie-cutter studio movies is a challenge, and you often have to sit through movies you're not all that excited to see. But, to be clear, we're not breaking rocks here. You get to see movies for free before they're released, often in the comfort of private screening rooms, and you get to pontificate about them for (hopefully) lots of readers. It's a pretty cushy gig. And that's why it's so maddening that the New York Observer's Rex Reed continues to fuck it up — and why it's time to take the job away from him. … Read More
12 Movies You Won't Believe Are Oscar Winners
The original 1968 film version of The Producers makes its Blu-ray debut this week, and it's as funny, outrageous, and tasteless as it was 45 years ago. But while we all know it was Mel Brooks' feature filmmaking debut and the basis for the Broadway smash, most have forgotten that it also won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay — a shockingly contrary prize from a body that doesn't tend to hand out statues to comedies, and has thus created a general perception of an "Oscar movie" (i.e., serious drama, preferably with a message of stern social commentary; a period setting and/or a physically or mentally challenged character never hurts). But here are a few movies that fly in the face of that… Read More
Flavorwire's Guide to Movies You Need to Stream This Week
Welcome to Flavorwire's streaming movie guide, in which we help you sift through the scores of movies streaming on Netflix, Hulu, and other services to find the best of the recently available, freshly relevant, or soon to expire. This week's new releases are universally underwhelming (you may be tempted to watch Scream 4, but in the name of all that is Craven, resist that temptation), but we got a look at the titles expiring over the next couple of weeks and were amazed by how many great movies are disappearing — so the theme of this week's streaming movie guide is, apparently, Watch Them While You Can. Join us after the jump for great stuff from Philip Seymour Hoffman, Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, Ethan Hawke, Robert De Niro, Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, James Gandolfini, Marisa Tomei, the Coen Brothers, Mel Brooks, Sidney Lumet, Robert Altman, and Alfonso Cuarón, and follow the title links to watch them right now. … Read More

885cc, 70bhp, 120mph, Insurance group 13
The Triumph Adventurer, a cruiser style version of the Thunderbird, adds dollop of crass to already glittery, faux concoction. It's an OK motorcycle, thanks mostly to the stupendous Triumph triple engine, but the Triumph Adventurer is about as cool and stylish as purple velvet loon pants. Oh, did someone say they're back in?
660cc, 48bhp, 116mph, Insurance group 9
The MZ Skorpion was stylishly designed (by acclaimed Brits Seymour-Powell) single using a Yamaha engine which proved a refreshingly able antidote to Japanese fours in the mid-to-late 90s. Light, lithe, affordable, generally reliable and reassuringly practical.
249cc, 19bhp, 71mph, Insurance group 7
The Yamaha TTR250 is a hardy wee beastie. As an undemanding, unfussy enduro bike for newer riders it excels, with a never-say-die single cylinder motor that has just enough pep for muddy fun. Now deleted from Yamaha's range the Yamaha TT250R is still a sound used buy providing you don't have to go too far on the tarmac.
749cc, 120bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 17
Like the race version, Honda's road-going RC45 doesn't quite hit the spot, but it's still an impressive piece of exquisite engineering. As the ultimate '90s Superbike, the Honda RC45 lacks the pure focus of a Yamaha R1, the visceral punch of a Ducati 916 or the exotic edginess of a Bimota SB6R. Also, people might think your Honda RC45 is a Honda RVF400 ...
1064cc, 102bhp, 145mph, Insurance group 13
The Moto Guzzi Daytona was always the pure, no messin' about, Dr John race replica in the range, whether in 1000cc form, or the with the later 1100 motor. Fuelling problems spoil the performance a little bit, but there's a brutal elegance about the Daytona and true collector value.
749cc, 62bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 12
There was the Ducati M900 Monster (became the Ducati M1000 Monster), then the Ducati M600 Monster (became the Ducati M620 Monster) and then the Ducati M750 Monster (which became the Ducati M800 Monster), covering the vacant middle ground in the Ducati Monster family. As with the others, the Ducati M750 Monster or Ducati M800 Monster is a beautiful, painfully cool machine and, like the others, ...
618cc, 63bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 11
Ducatis inspire passion and the Ducati M620 Monster offers a way into the dream for those who are just starting out. Like its stablemates, it looks great and sounds gorgeous but complaints about lack of power, basic suspension and its physical size (it's very small) mean the Ducati M620 Monster is not ideal for everyone. Watch video of this bike and more on ...
992cc, 84bhp, 134mph, Insurance group 14
It's difficult to pigeonhole the Ducati 1000SS. It's definitely no full-on sports motorcycle, but you couldn't really claim to tour on it, either. It's hugely charming, but is not really the sort of motorcycle to thrash. Best not to worry about all that and simply revel in the Ducati 1000SS' easy handling, V-twin soundtrack and retro looks.
599cc, 106bhp, 163mph, Insurance group 14
With its genuine 163mph top speed, six-piston brakes, low'ish insurance group and evil induction noise the Kawasaki ZX-6R G-series is the bike that overnight made the 750cc superbikes look superfluous. Even today it's still considered a capable performer, though the suspension and stoppers will doubtless welcome a fettle.
599cc, 109bhp, 163mph, Insurance group 14
Kawasaki's new-for-2000 ZX-6R got a new swingarm, a revised rear shock and engine internals and a facelift – not good enough to compete with Yamaha's stunning R6 on the track nor Honda's new ally-framed CBR600 on the road. In 2002 it got a beefier 636cc motor, which made it a much improved road tool.

Great Sampler Pack
This is a great blade sampler pack to find which blade works best for your face. My face is normal except the neck which is highly sensitive, but unfortunately also where the densest growth and hairs are as well. I started with the Crystal, let me mention that for whatever reason the first blade out of the pack was not wide enough. I don't know what happened with their quality control that day but the edge did not stick out far enough on either side of my razor to even cut a single hair. I threw on a new blade and I was cutting finally, but it left a hell of a lot of bloody spots on my sensitive neck. Not recommended for sensitive skin. I then switched to the Personna, this was originally my favorite blade, no cuts, smooth shave, but it was too grabby around my chin and almost hurt as it was cutting that portion of my face. No cuts though so I thought I would just have to tough it out. The next day I tried out the Astra Platinums. Almost as good as the Personna in that I only got one tiny cut on my neck, but it was ALOT better around my chin. I finally realized that the blade is not supposed to feel like it is tearing out my chin hairs as I shaved. I then switched to the Feather, this one rated with the crystal for me, just too sharp for my sensitive skin, I had several cuts on my neck again although I did not feel any pain as I was shaving so I know the blade was sharp. I finally tried the Derby Extras, and I only wish now that I had tried it first! My favorite by far, shaved great, didn't tear my chin hairs, no cuts, cleaned up my neck nicely with barely any redness at all except a few tiny problem areas that I had to go over several times, but they faded within a few minutes. I now know which blade works best for me, I recommend you try this pack out to see what works best for you, cheers!
First Sampler
This was the first blade sampler I've purchased and it's been great trying out the different brands. My razor came with Derby blades, which seemed a little dull for me. The order I tried them: Astra, Red Personna, Crystal, then Feather. I ended up enjoying the Red Personna best, though I'd like to keep trying as my technique improves.
Great Starter Sampler
I love this sampler. The Astras ended up being the blade that gave me the closest shave and didn't leave my neck irritated.
Perfect sampler
So I've finally made it once through the rotation on all of these. As a note, I have extremely sensitive skin... 1) Personna. Smooth, close, comfortable. I could even shave across the grain without any fear. BBS perfection. 2) Astra. Equally comfortable and confidence inspiring, but not as close without extra passes. Still no irritation though. 3) Derby. 2 or 3 really good shaves then it dulled up pretty quick. A little tugging after the first couple but still comfortable and not much irritation. Not as sharp as 1 or 2 but still nice. I would love to be able to buy a sampler of just 1,2,&3 together. That would be a pretty nice lil rotation. 4) Feather. Ultra sharp. Too sharp for my face. Don't get me wrong, no cuts and I don't think that it was my technique, I just felt like it was peeling my skin off along with the whiskers. 5) Crystal. One shave and I threw it away. Maybe it was too sharp, maybe it was too dull, maybe my face was just being picky today. I couldn't even finish the shave without wiping blood away between passes. I'll give them another chance when their spot comes up again but I'm not looking forward to it. WCS...make the sampler I described above and I'll buy it day one!!!
Excellent way to start!
So happy I bought this. I've been using an overpriced blade I bough from a brick and mortar store before I found this page online. I always though "a blade is a blade" do yourself a favor and buy ones of these starter packs, use them all and find one that works well for you. I personally like the Feather and the Derby blades.
Choice Sample Pack
This is great for beginners. I bought a 1968 Gillette Slim Boy off Ebay that is in excellent condition. Having never shaved with a DE razor before I bought this pack to start with. The Astras and Red Personas were about the same and good. I used them first. Then the Crystals, which sucked. Don't waste you time with them. The Feathers were WAY TOO SHARP for my bumpy skin, and I was extra careful while trying them and still was a bloody mess. My favorite was the Derby. Sharp enough and forgiving. I got a closer shave than anything else and wasn't torn up. You can use more passes to get a closer, smoother shave and they are durable. I am ordering a 100 pack. Also the Cremo cream is what I use and it is also great.

Originally there were more that 100 but now 15 have been opened up and were originally covered with frescoes, some still visible. After a leisurely stroll along the valley and a lunch stop beside the river we headed back up the ...

How to tackle online ad fraud
Online advertising is a now a dynamic, $140 billion industry and there's no sign that revenue growth will slow any time soon. However, one topic threatens to overshadow this growth, cast doubt on the viability of the ecosystem, and undermine confidence in investment – online ad fraud.
The industry struggles to keep ahead of the changing nature and sophistication of the issue. It is a valid concern, but the situation appears to be in part driven by the industry itself, which overly focuses attention on the topic and releases scaremongering statistics to support and highlight the issue.

Property sector rethinks costs
Developers size up future maintenance
- Image Credit: Megan Hirons Mahon/Gulf News
- Developers up to now stayed in control of the project so owners were at their mercy calculating what is needed for maintenance
Dubai: The absence of sinking funds and exorbitant maintenance charges throughout Dubai could leave existing investors out of pocket and new ones thinking twice before buying.
"Service charges have got to come down a bit more, the service fee levels are putting pressure on prices. The problem is that the returns at the current service charges don't justify the investment," said Gary Bugden, executive chairman, PRDnationwide.
Developers, he said, also need to look seriously at how they are designing future projects as water features are too expensive to maintain. "The reality is that infrastructure in Dubai is very expensive to maintain."
Developers up to now stayed in control of the project so owners were at their mercy calculating what is needed for maintenance. In most instances developers had no idea how much service fees were upon sale, never mind the sinking fund.
Mazen Falhout, general manager, MAGme Property Solutions, believes that property buyers should have been more particular about add-on costs but were too busy speculating rather than factoring in the hidden capital investment needed over the years.
Changed scenario
"Prior to June 2008, investors did not care too much about service charges or operational costs, many were only speculating on the rising price. Now that the party is over, owners have to be responsible for their investments," he said.
Consequently, he said, some owners were jeopardising returns on investments by not adequately accounting for depreciation on mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment.
A chilling unit, for example, in an average tower has a life span of about 10 years and replacing it could cost as much as Dh2 million to Dh3 million.
"If there is no 'sinking' fund, owners have to foot the entire bill at that point of time which could be substantial. Many owners are now faced with fees that they cannot simply pass on to tenants if they want to remain competitive in the market," Falhout warned.
The sinking fund, which requires a fee to be paid by all unit owners based on estimated wear and tear, is now an obligatory feature to be disclosed by developers and home owners via their associations can take control. But it could come too late for some, as rents took a 40 per cent dip over the last year.
Bugden though said there is still time as the sinking fund is created over 10 and up to 20 years. "Owners may be a couple of years behind and the fund may be more heavily used here as some things wear out quicker than elsewhere but there is no excuse not to start."

Historical Traveler Reviews Vivanta by Taj - Malabar Kochi
The Perfect Hotel
This is probably the best value for money hotel that I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in many five star hotels around the world. It is in a terrific location overlooking the sea/lake and Fort Cochin. The level of service and comfort is absolutely spot on without being overfussy. Fantastic swimming pool (see photo)and first class food at realistic prices.
The location may not suit everyone as you need to catch a ferry (or local rowing boat) or take a taxi to get over to Fort Cochin (it takes 10 minutes). We found this not be a problem at all and it was good to return to this wonderful hotel after a hectic days sightseeing and shopping! We stayed for four nights and could easily have stayed longer.
We paid about �75.00 per night having paid almost double this to stay at the inferior Kumarakum Lake Resort.
Can't recommend it highly enough.
Taj Quality, Taj Class, Taj Relaxation
Very nice hotel with lovely views from the pool area, many rooms (not ours) and some restaurants. We had a huge room in the older wing which we loved because of all the old wood and antique accents. The bed was very comfortable, clean and the service was wonderful. We loved the location as it was a little removed from the noise, dirt, and craziness of downtown Kochin. If you want the city, you can take the powerboat over and get picked up as well or take a rickshaw (less amusing). Their sunset cruises were enjoyable, the pool is clean and nice and the massage in their sauna area one of the best I had in India. The food was average compared to the rest of India and other hotels we stayed or dined at including Oberoi (mumbai), Taj Palace (mumbai) and Grand Hyatt (mumbai) and Imperial (New Delhi). Overall I found it to be a very nice experience.
Lovely atmosphere
I stayed at the Taj malabar for one night in late November. It is a great hotel. Being on Willingdon Island and right on the water gives it a nice serenity. The heritage wing of the hotel where we stayed has a lovely atmosphere. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable with nice furniture and a comfortable bed. Although Fort Cochin is a 15 minute drive away, it is easy and cheap to get a car to take you anywhere in Cochin, or you could be there in 5 minuts if you go by water. Highly recommended and better value than the other luxury hotels in Cochin such as Brunton's Boatyard which was grossly expensive and not as good as the Taj.
Excellent hotel, wished I had spent longer.
Everyone in this hotel smiles. It is a pleasure to be in it. The room we had - a sunset view - was very good, with great view, even from the bathroom. We could look at the fishing nets without leaving the chaise lounge by the window. The hotel has three restuarants, of which Pepper serves wonderful local food. The bar is relaxing, although a large back projection TV with constant cricket may annoy some. The location by the water is away from the town, which means you may take a ferry to the mainland (5 mins walk) or a taxi to get to other places. The solitude gives the hotel a cleanliess by being away from the towns and the swing overlooking the water is tranquility itself. Another hotel we look forward to going back to.
Really bad location for everything--usual Taj standards
The Taj Malabar is not near anything in Cochin--inevitably, you'll have to take a car to get anywhere--and traffic is pretty heavy. So, if you sightsee and shop, and want to stop in your hotel to change, you picked the wrong place.
Worth a stay.
My wife and I stayed for 5 nights at the beginning of November 2005.
The hotel is fantastically situated on the end of Willingdon Island so you can spend the day sunbathing by the pool watching all the craft coming in and out of the river system. The pool has a great view out to sea and is probably the best in Cochin. The rest of the hotel reminded me of a hotel run to Thai standards, clean, good facilities and helpful staff.
We ate at the Rice Boat restaurant principally, the food was good but the menu was limited. The Thai restaurant food was good but not exceptional and the Peppers restaurant was good too. The best curries come from the room service menu and they are really good, get the staff to order you one from there and have it delivered to the terrace overlooking the river, fantastic.
The rooms are good, comfortable beds, great showers and have an oriental feel to them, no problems for us at all.
The staff are very polite and try to help, if you need something out of the ordinary then speak to the duty manager.
The hotel does like to charge for extras though, a Gin and Tonic is exhorbitant as is the wine and we were sold a starter which was a special that cost �20 which was 4 times the average price of other starters, no warning was given. We ate at the Casino hotel restaurant and the same drinks are half price. Taxis to the airport are 1400 rupees from the Taj compared to 500 rupees if you go outside the main gates to the taxi rank. Sounds like a complaint but remember this is India and not London or New York, I got a mild feeling that I was being ripped off.
Overall the plus points are great: Location, quality of hotel and the food is terrific. When I go back I will stay there as the other hotels couldn't match the location.
Go to the MG road to buy silks, fantastic quality for the prices. We also ate at the Casino hotel not far from the Taj, well worth a visit and much better value for some great fresh seafood.
Best hotel in Cochin
We visited Cochin in October and were unsure of where to stay - we knew of this hotel, the Brunton Boatyard and the Malabar House Hotels.
We decided on the Taj Malabar mainly because it had a lovely pool (in the photos!). When were in Cochin, we checked out the other 2 hotels - Malabar House was quaint, but not luxurious & their pool was more like a large bath in the reception area!
The Brunton Boatyard wasn't bad, but there was no pool and the general feel was that the place was a bit tired (could do with a paint job!).
Apparently the Queen stayed in the Taj Malabar in 1997 - it's worth upgrading to a room with a balcony or at least a corner room on a high floor (7 floors altogether). We stayed in 602 which was a corner room overlooking the sea & pool.
The Rice Boat restaurant is a must - excellent fresh fish & wonderful service. The restaurant is acutally a boat & views are of the sea - whilst having dinner, gaze at the fishermen on their way out to sea.
The infinity pool is wonderful and the Auyervedic treatments are the cheapest anywhere else in India (that we know of!).
There's a complimentary 1 hour sunset cruise which is worth doing as the sunsets in this area are spectacular - if you are lucky, you might see some dolphins.
Things to do in Cochin include: synagogue (not open Fri/Sat), Chinese fishing nets, St Francis Church. Beware of pushy sales people on Jewtown Road & avoid at all costs the Kathakali dance performance (particularly watching the 'artists' apply their make up - scary, boring & lots of mosquitos!).
Spent 2 weeks travelling round India in Taj Hotels and this was one of my favorites. Cannot fault anything really. Rooms are modern and spotless, It has excellent views, is well placed for jumping across to the Old town. The food was amazing, the infinity pool made for an excellent place to chill. Only bad expereince was being oversold a 1.5kg lobster for my wife and I which we just could not eat. We then did a backwater trip organised by the hotel. 1 and a half hours by speedboat to the Taj property at Kumakoran, and then transferred to the Rice boat for a 6 hour cruise to Allepey. We were glad we did not do the overnight on the boat as people we met said that it was just too hot in April and also the company the Taj uses does not provide the best boats for the overnight i.e. no AC just a crappy old fan
Great Views
We stayed for 5 nights in a suite with a spectacular view of the waterways and Old Cochin. We watched traffic from tiny fishing canoes to large container ships ply the waterways. Access to Old Cochin by boat was easy, with the boatman picking us up pretty much wherever we wished for the return jouney. The room's elegant decor, mostly woods, was clean and appropriate for the climate. Service was good. There was a range of food: Western, Thai and India. The Kerelan food was a bit Westernized but the fresh seafood was terrific. (Note Kerelan food uses lots of coconut so beware if coconut is not your thing.) The free sunset cruise was worth doing. I understand that the dance program was good but missed it. Having developed a cold on the way to India, I particularly found the Taj Malabar a relaxing place to recover. Nice poolside, good room service.
Great experience and excellent service
It is great pleasure for me to utilize the oppertunity to write about my stay in Taj Malabar. It was great time I had spend in there and the service out there is above all the international standerds.

Back to the coast
... some food and played with the 3 little week old kittens they had whilst waiting for the rain to stop. We continued on to the square surrounded by little stalls, Chinese fishing nets, the fish market and food court. Lastly we walked down Princess street, the more western Street with lots of restaurants, jewellery, fabric and handicraft shops.
In the morning we went over to watch the Chinese fishing nets in action. One of the fishermen called us over so ...
Pootling with my parents
... Every curry is so different - there are dry curries, gloopy curries, sloppy curries; from super sweet fruit-filled kormas to scary deep brown onion curries. None is too spicy to handle (though our homestay host did explain that she normally puts 5 chillies in a curry for us and around 25 in a curry for her family!) Given the breadth of my foodie subject matter I have decided to describe my favourite Indian foods to you one meal at a time starting, this ...

Down to South India
... I were heading to South India and Liv was heading home to Australia. It was incredibly sad to say goodbye to Liv, we had travelled together and basically lived in each other's pockets for five months, the memories and times we shared will stay with us for the rest of our lives, we were family to each other overseas when our families were back home. I managed to hold it together through our goodbyes, our group hugs and last few chats, but as court and I were sitting in our taxi ...
Heat, tuk tuks and nimbu panis
... the Keralan Raj.
In the evening we head back to our homestay and begin a cooking lesson with Krishna's mum. It is easy to tell from one good cook to another that this woman has a talent of almost master chef proportions. But she unfortunately had been sick, so the more complex fish curries are off the menu. Instead a vegetable curry often served with Dosas (kind of like Indian pancakes) was prepared and enjoyed.

Missed our liveblog of Samsung's IFA 2014 press conference? Here are the highlights. It's as if you were there.
We're definitely curious about the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, a sort of sister phone to the Galaxy Note 4 with a flexible display that looks like it melts off the right side of the device. If you could add any feature, what would you use that extra slice of screen for?
On today's show, we discuss Samsung's newest products, including the Galaxy Note Edge and the Gear VR headset. Also, the ISS has a lonely robot aboard, and Warner Bros. registers four domains for upcoming DC movies.
If it indeed is real, the Samsung Gear Fit will go toe-to-toe with health-focused gadgets like the Fitbit Force and Nike's FuelBand.
Samsung is reportedly cooking up a fitness band, that could be a modified version of its Gear smart watch.
The Apple co-founder, who often embraces many platforms, says he threw his Samsung smartwatch out after half a day.
Samsung's take on the smartwatch has some potential, and it does get some things right, but its inability to perform truly "smart" functions means it falls far short of expectations.
Pricing not available
A new software update for the first-generation Samsung smartwatch removes all traces of Android in favor of the company's in-house OS.
Three has announced it'll offer the original Galaxy Gear half price, and even cheaper if you buy a new Samsung device.
A blurry snap that appears to show two new Samsung watches has surfaced online.

Treating Alcohol Use Disorder
By Dr. Bernard Le Foll, Head of the Alcohol Research and Treatment Clinic at CAMH
Canada is a country that both enjoys alcohol, but is also fairly responsible about its education, sale and distribution to the public.
And yet there are still gaps in knowledge about the new treatment options available.
As head of the Alcohol Research and Treatment Clinic at CAMH, I want to take an opportunity to provide insight on our work. But it begins with language.
While "alcohol dependence" and "alcohol abuse" are still used, since DSM-5 we are seeing a shift towards the term "Alcohol Use Disorder" to refer to the spectrum of ways that alcohol can affect the person. This reflects the fact that some people lose control over their use of alcohol. It also acknowledges that there is a continuum that ranges from normal use, up to use that produces very severe complications in the person affected. Read more

In the midst of Wisconsin recall election, Wisconsin right-wing radio host Charlie Sykes took to the airwaves to fearmonger about voter fraud and defend the presence of the King Street Patriots -- a Texas-based Tea Party group that was accused of voter intimidation during the 2010 elections -- at Wisconsin polling locations.
The King Street Patriots and their anti-voter fraud effort "True the Vote" boast ties to notorious voter fraud hucksters like James O'Keefe, Hans von Spakovsky, J. Christian Adams (who served as an attorney for True the Vote), and John Fund. The group promised to "man each and every polling location" in Wisconsin to "ensure the integrity of the election." As Talking Points Memo reported of the King Street Patriots' activity in 2010 (emphasis added):
Poll watchers in Harris County, Texas -- where a Tea Party group launched an aggressive anti-voter fraud effort -- were accused of "hovering over" voters, "getting into election workers' faces" and blocking or disrupting lines of voters who were waiting to cast their ballots as early voting got underway yesterday.
Now, TPMMuckraker has learned, the Justice Department has interviewed witnesses about the alleged intimidation and is gathering information about the so-called anti-voter fraud effort.
Harris County, the biggest county in the state, is where a Tea Party group called the King Street Patriots launched an anti-voter fraud initiative called "True the Vote," which recruited poll watchers and amped up fears over groups like the community organizing group ACORN.
Sykes attempted to whitewash the spotty history of the group, describing their work as "outstanding" and casting them as merely a "citizen group" comprised of "Americans who are concerned about voter fraud." His commentary also had the effect of ginning up the threat of voter fraud, which experts agree is not a significant problem. From his June 5 radio show on 620 WTMJ:
SYKES: In the city of Milwaukee, we have the mayor of Milwaukee, who's running for governor, who's made it absolutely clear how seriously he takes voter fraud.
TOM BARRETT [audio clip]: Well, name the name. Name the name. I'm waiting for the first name.
SYKES: There is a group that in fact would provide that name. You might remember the "Verify the Recall" folks -- this was a group, the headquarters is in Texas. They did an absolutely outstanding job of coming up and making a database that allowed people to find out who signed the Walker recall petitions. Right, remember all of that? Well, they're affiliated with a group called the King Street Patriots.
This letter, this came out yesterday. What shocked me the most, I think, about this, is that it came from Phil Walzak, Barrett for Wisconsin. It's the kind of thing that you would expect from some demented extremist like Graeme Zielinski.
"Steve, the King Street Patriots, a group of Texas extremists" -- they are, they are Americans who are concerned about voter fraud.
"Have arrived in Wisconsin. They believe that voter registration for the poor is un-American" -- flat-out lie -- "and would destroy the country." Flat-out lie.
"They have already come to Wisconsin once and intimidated recall petition signers" -- lie -- "and now they've dropped so-called election observers into poll locations across the state."
Yes, Mayor Barrett, because they are doing the job that you refuse to do. And the mayor of Milwaukee, instead of saying, "Hey, we've got nothing to hide, come in and observe," puts out a letter on his own campaign stationery smearing this citizen group.
"Our voter protection team is on alert. We need an additional $100,000 before tomorrow to make sure every last vote is counted. After emailing threats and racial slurs ahead of the 2010 election failed to stop courageous voters from turning out to vote in Houston, the King Street Patriots showed up at the polls and intimidated voters directly."
Tom Barrett is lying.
The right-wing website Breitbart.com is promising to "shine a light" on the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL) in the coming days, a campaign that comes as corporate sponsors and lawmakers flee the right-wing American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). Media should be cautioned that any efforts to compare the two organizations is without validity, given their contrasting missions, standards of transparency, degrees of corporate influence, and ideologies.
Denver Post columnist and local radio host Mike Rosen drew criticism this week when he questioned the citizenship status of President Obama. Media Matters looks back at his long record of extreme and hateful rhetoric.
Despite serious legal questions surrounding the New York Police Department's stop-and-frisk policy and Muslim surveillance program, the editorial board of the New York Daily News has been an unquestioning defender of the NYPD.
"You think rising cell phone thefts are bad? Wait till car thefts soar back over 100,000 a year. Wait till you start hearing about mushrooms and learn that the word refers to children who have been struck by stray bullets."
So opined the editorial board of the New York Daily News in response to public scrutiny of the New York Police Department's "stop-and-frisk" policy -- a controversial program that last year alone resulted in over 685,000 stops of primarily black and Latino residents (only 12% of persons stopped were charged with a crime). This week, Manhattan Federal Court Judge Shira Scheindlin granted class action status to a group of victims of the policy who are bringing suit against the city for what they argue is a discriminatory and unconstitutional practice. The Daily News, as well as the New York Post, viewed the ruling -- which they inexplicably believe risks the existence of the "stop-and-frisk" practice altogether -- as nothing less than life-threatening.
In the aforementioned editorial, titled "How to kill New York," the Daily News editorial board ominously predicted that If the program is reformed, 'the body count will start rising.'
The NY Post's editors weighed in as well, attacking outspoken critics of the program whom the editors say "won't rest until the murder rate skyrockets":
They're playing with fire -- all of them.
Indeed, if they do manage to weaken the program, the blood of new crime victims will be on their hands.
So: Will the city once again become the Crime Capital of the World?
Alas, so it seems.
The Union Leader, New Hampshire's most-read newspaper, published an editorial yesterday urging the state House of Representatives and the Governor to approve SB 289, a bill passed by the state senate that would require voters to show photo identification in order to cast a ballot. SB 289, the Union Leader editors argued, is necessary to protect the integrity of New Hampshire's electoral results from the corrupting danger of rampant voter fraud. Their evidence? The work of discredited liar and undercover videographer James O'Keefe, whose attempted investigation of "voter fraud" in New Hampshire last January drew rebukes from election law experts who believed his scheme may have broken the law.
The Union Leader wrote:
Last year, Gov. John Lynch vetoed a voter ID bill, proclaiming, "There is no voter fraud problem in New Hampshire." This year he cannot make that claim with a straight face. The Project Veritas sting on Primary Day in January showed how easy it is to obtain a ballot fraudulently in New Hampshire.
Project Veritas, which is run by O'Keefe, is a surprising source for a mainstream publication to cite, given his history of lies, deception and hyper-partisanship. More importantly, O'Keefe's "sting" in New Hampshire didn't come close to establishing that voter fraud has been committed in New Hampshire at all, much less on any scale that would affect the outcome of an election.
In fact, the specter of a voter fraud epidemic is largely a figment of right-wing imagination. In a 2007 report, NYU's Brennan Center for Justice found that allegations of widespread voter fraud are often exaggerated and that many claims of voter fraud "simply do not pan out." According to the Justice Department, prosecutions for voter fraud are generally few and far between. Even conservative commentator and voter ID proponent Hans von Spakovsky has admitted that there is no "massive fraud in American elections."
Voter ID laws do, however, have the potential to strip fundamental constitutional rights away from many otherwise eligible citizens, especially students, the elderly, and racial minorities. The Brennan Center estimates voter ID laws could exclude millions of eligible voters:
Ahead of the 2012 elections, a wave of legislation tightening restrictions on voting has suddenly swept across the country. More than 5 million Americans could be affected by the new rules already put in place this year -- a number larger than the margin of victory in two of the last three presidential elections.
Unfortunately, the Union Leader -- and legislators in New Hampshire -- are arguing over how strict the law should be, not whether requiring photo identification is a bad idea for the people of New Hampshire.
In the wake of President Obama's declaration of support for marriage equality and the passage of North Carolina's anti-gay marriage amendment, CNN broadcast a variety of segments focusing on the historic implications of this week's events. Three of CNN's most recognizable faces hosted Tony Perkins, president of the anti-gay hate group Family Research Council (FRC), to discuss the issue of same-sex marriage.
Although Piers Morgan, Wolf Blitzer, and Soledad O'Brien failed to identify Perkins as a hate group leader, they did challenge him on several of his anti-gay talking points. O'Brien and Morgan were particularly assertive in challenging his failed logic.
Watch Perkins being interviewed by CNN's Morgan on Tuesday:
Watch Perkins being interviewed by CNN's Blitzer on Wednesday:
Watch Perkins being interviewed by CNN's O'Brien on Thursday:
Hernon Graddick, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), published a column Thursday criticizing CNN's decision to welcome the hate group leader, arguing that the media needs to do a better job of providing context for Perkins' appearances:
[W]ith a wealth of political thinkers, analysts and strategists to go to -- why has CNN turned to Tony Perkins three times in the last few days to represent the "other side?" He was on with Piers Morgan Tuesday night to talk about the vote in North Carolina. He appeared with Wolf Blitzer Wednesday evening to talk about the President's support for marriage equality, and then was interviewed by Soledad O'Brien Thursday morning on the same topic.
All of this is fine, as long as Perkins is put into the proper context. Which he sort-of was by Morgan and O'Brien, but Blitzer didn't even come close.
Here's the crux of the problem -- and the exact reason why GLAAD's Commentator Accountability Project was born. Tony Perkins and others of his ilk cannot be used to exemplify those who simply oppose marriage equality. CNN is more than welcome to interview him on the issue of marriage equality, of course. His is unquestionably one of the loudest voices in the nation speaking about the issue.
But when Perkins gets interviewed, a responsible journalist needs to tell the audience exactly who Perkins is speaking for. Based on his own statements -- Tony Perkins represents people who believe supporting LGBT equality is akin to being a terrorist. Who believe marriage equality is the same as bestiality. Who say that gay people are "vile," "hateful," "spiteful" "pawns of the enemy." Tony Perkins does not represent people who oppose marriage equality. Tony Perkins represents those who oppose LGBT people -- period.
If CNN wants that side represented in this discussion, then Perkins is absolutely the right man for the job. But they need to make it clear to the audience that that's what he's there for. And by not doing so, they have not told the whole story.
On Thursday, MSNBC's Chris Matthews demonstrated a good example of how cable news hosts should handle Perkins when he appears on their shows.
Georgia media have been silent as members of ALEC in Georgia's legislature have successfully pushed through a version of ALEC's Charter Schools Act, which would create a state-controlled board with the power to establish and fund charter schools over local opposition. A Media Matters analysis found that while Georgia media have frequently written about the bills, they have completely overlooked ALEC's influence in the debate.
The Oklahoman's straight news coverage of the controversial natural gas extraction process of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") has been slanted in favor of the process under the ownership of energy tycoon Philip Anschutz, who acquired the paper in September 2011. The paper's opinion page has been one-sided -- devoid of voices warning readers about the potential health risks and environmental dangers of loosely regulated fracking activities.
"Economic growth is a good thing, even when it's lubricated by graft."
So argued Chicago Tribune columnist Steve Chapman, dismissing concerns about corporate bribery raised amid reports that Wal-Mart officials have covered up evidence tying the company to bribery in Mexico. Chapman's Sunday column defended Wal-Mart, whose largest subsidiary (Wal-Mart de Mexico), is under investigation by the Justice Department (DOJ). The New York Times reported:
In September 2005, a senior Wal-Mart lawyer received an alarming e-mail from a former executive at the company's largest foreign subsidiary, Wal-Mart de Mexico. In the e-mail and follow-up conversations, the former executive described how Wal-Mart de Mexico had orchestrated a campaign of bribery to win market dominance. In its rush to build stores, he said, the company had paid bribes to obtain permits in virtually every corner of the country.
The allegations of illicit payments put Wal-Mart under the jurisdiction of DOJ, which is investigating potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, a law that has been described as an "anti-bribery, anti-corruption measure enacted...to prohibit American companies from paying off foreign officials and to create an international example for ethical business practices."
The law has been in effect for 35 years, but Chapman questioned the wisdom of using U.S. law to govern corporate behavior overseas:
The question is why it's the duty of the U.S. government to dictate business practices in nations with very different business climates. You would think the Justice Department has plenty to do enforcing American laws on American soil without trying to sanitize the rest of the world.
Our idea of appropriate business practices ought to prevail in America, but less developed countries are entitled to do things their own way. If Mexico doesn't police bribery and can't change its economic culture, why should Uncle Sam take on the job? [...]
By deterring American companies from investing in such places, we deprive their citizens of goods and jobs that would improve their lives.
When extortionate officials block Wal-Mart from opening stores in Mexico, ordinary Mexicans suffer. Economic growth is a good thing, even when it's lubricated by graft.
