This decision runs contrary to the stated intention and the plain text of New York law, so obviously we are disappointed. But more importantly, this decision makes it even more critical that New York law be clarified to make sure regular New Yorkers can occasionally rent out their own homes. There is universal agreement that occasional hosts like Nigel Warren were not the target of the 2010 law, but that agreement provides little comfort to the handful of people, like Nigel, who find themselves targeted by overzealous enforcement officials. It is time to fix this law and protect hosts who occasionally rent out their own homes. Eighty-seven percent of Airbnb hosts in New York list just a home they live in -- they are average New Yorkers trying to make ends meet, not illegal hotels that should be subject to the 2010 law.As the reports note, this doesn't mean that the city will now be going after the tens of thousands of residents who rent their places out on Airbnb, but if complaints are filed, it can go after them. Hopefully, this doesn't scare off the person whose house I just requested... But, more importantly, this shows, yet again, why bad regulations can do serious harm to innovation, often while serving to protect less innovative incumbents.

Three movies in, 'Divergent' series starts to make sense
Stuff keeps happening in "Allegiant," so much so that you might look forward to Part 2
Published 12:00 am, Thursday, March 17, 2016
Of all the big, silly action series out there, the "Insurgent" series is the least obnoxious. It's a collection of dumb ideas, with acting and direction that is so earnest and naïve that the movies become funny when they don't mean to be. But the installments are generous in terms of story — stuff keeps happening — and there's none of the stretched-out sense you get from the the "Hunger Games" series. These stories move.
The latest -- how's this for a title: "The Divergent Series: Allegiant - Part 1" -- combines the usual dumb ideas with one good one. And not just good, but impressive, in that it makes sense of much of what went before.
For those just tuning in, this third installment takes place in a post-apocalyptic Chicago, in which people have been divided into separate communities based on personality type. Peace-loving folk live in the Amity section. Strong, fearless persons reside in the Dauntless part of town. Intellectuals find a home in the Erudite community. Honest people hang with the Candor crowd. And selfless, service oriented individuals practice their doormat ways in the Abnegation sector.
The entire setup of this world, based on the novels by Veronica Roth, has seemed absurd, more a metaphor for high school socializing than any kind of model for a peaceful world. But now we find out the truth, and it's genuinely interesting: The apocalypse came about through genetic engineering. By using the genome to emphasize various desirable character traits, scientists created a world of people out of psychological balance. The end product was a devastating war. In Chicago, they're living with the aftermath.
It's just too bad they don't all have Chicago accents. It would have been great if that were the one thing that absolutely could not be eradicated.

Precisely how this new information fits in with the rest of the story is for audiences to discover. Suffice it to say that the central character, Tris (Shailene Woodley), along with her brooding boyfriend Four (Theo James) and a small band of friends, make it through the city walls this time, and they discover a reality far different from the one they've been living.
The first hour of "Allegiant" is nicely plotted. It moves when it should, and whenever it lingers, it's to lavish time on something worth considering. In one scene, Tris has to get decontaminated after exposure to radioactivity. She goes into a chamber where she strips down, and her clothes are incinerated. Immediately the mind goes to the Nazi death camps, and we have to wonder if she will get out of there alive.
Except in the highly visual or action sequences, Robert Schwentke's direction has a peculiar quality, in which you can almost hear him yelling "Action" and "Cut." What I mean by this is that when people are moving within a frame, they often seem less like bodies caught in the midst of motion and more like actors who've just started to move on command. This is a weird criticism, but if you see the movie, you will notice this. That, combined with lines such as this (from an interrogation scene) — "There is no doubt you helped Jeanine take over Chicago!" — gives the series the air of some billion dollar episode of Amateur Hour.
In the second half of "Allegiant," the generous plotting begins to seem random, as though it were being made up on the spot. However, as has been the case in every installment in the series, the story doesn't trail off or stop midway. The movie ends with a feeling of arrival and completion.
Jeff Daniels, acting just like Jeff Daniels but in another century, appears as a futuristic mastermind, and for most of the movie Tris and Four are trying to decide if he's a good futuristic mastermind or a bad one. Eventually, they do decide, but they don't necessarily decide for the audience. For example, I walked out of the movie with a different opinion of him than Tris.
Whether that's a problem or a virtue of the series can't be known until next episode, which is almost something to look forward to. At least, it's not to be dreaded. **½
Running time: 179 minutes.

Biology and personality Edit
The Kandyman was a pathological, psychopathic, robotic killer, employed as an executioner by the egocentric Helen A. It delighted in creating torture and destruction with confectionary. One of its favourite methods was drowning people in pipes filled with its "Fondant Surprise", a thick solution composed of boiling liquid candy.
It was a sadistic executioner with a very warped sense of humour, speaking with a squeaky, almost child-like metallic voice and producing a variety of deadly sweets to suit its role of execution for sadness. These sweets were supposed to be so delicious humans were unable to cope with the pleasure, overloading their senses and killing them. The Kandyman claimed most of its victims in this manner — "with smiles on their faces" — but it was perfectly happy to throttle them if they refused to co-operate.
Its external shell composed of recognisable sweets like liquorice, sherbet, marzipan and caramel. Kandyman was created by Gilbert M, with whom it shared an almost symbiotic relationship. (TV: The Happiness Patrol)
The Kandyman was tasteful killer but ruthless. The Doctor discovered that he could be stuck to the floor with lemonade.
Biography Edit
With the Happiness Patrol Edit
The Seventh Doctor and Earl Sigma ran into the Kandyman after escaping the Happiness Patrol. The Doctor outsmarted the Kandyman, making it break open a bottle of lemonade and stick itself to the floor — it was forced to keep moving on the spot to try to get away from the spilled lemonade lest its external candy shell dissolve or stick to the floor. The Doctor along with Earl escaped, but later the Doctor returned to the Kandy Kitchen to confront the Kandyman, forcing it to retreat into the pipes. The Kandyman was killed shortly afterward when its external candy shell was dissolved in a pipe by a flow of its own strawberry fondant surprise, released by the oppressed Pipe People. (TV: The Happiness Patrol)
Rebuilt Edit
The Seventh Doctor encountered the Kandyman again on the planet Tara. Count Grendel rebuilt it after its charred remains crash landed on Tara. (PROSE: The Trials of Tara)
It attended the Dæmon Bonjaxx's birthday in his bar on the space station Maruthea, as did the Doctor and Ace and a future incarnation of the Doctor and his companion Ria. (COMIC: Party Animals)
Legacy Edit
On Erratoon, Ace described the Kandyman to Zara as a "bloke made of liquorice". (AUDIO: The Prisoner's Dilemma)
Behind the scenes Edit
After part two of The Happiness Patrol aired, HB Stokes, CEO and chairman of Bassett's, wrote to complain of the resemblance of the Kandyman to their mascot Bertie Bassett. An internal investigation by the BBC determined that the resemblance was coincidental and no copyright infringement had been committed. However, Stokes was assured the character would not be appearing in the series again.
Strax actor Dan Starkey commented, "The Kandy Man was like Doctor Who trying to do a Tim Burton movie, but being made in TV Centre and not quite getting it. The idea of it was quite nice, even if the execution wasn't quite as successful as it might have been." (DWM 475, p. 18)

DUBAI - Iran would take action if the United States were to carry out an act of "stupidity" and attack Syria, an Iranian military official was quoted as saying on Saturday, but the comments later disappeared from the state-linked agency website.Iran has steadfastly supported Syrian President Bashar Assad in his bid to suppress an uprising which both Tehran and Damascus see as a proxy war by Israel and Western states to extend their influence in the Middle East."If America were to attack Syria, Iran along with Syria's allies will take action, which would amount to a fiasco for America," Mohammad Ali Assoudi, the deputy for culture and propaganda of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was quoted as saying.

do i have to pick one, well heres my list Ella Enchanted, Holes, and all the HP books ( cant wait till the 21)
my favorite is A Child called "IT"
it was a very sad book... i cried
Haole, one of my all time faves is Jane Eyre too. I will discuss it with anyone who wants to. I just re-read Pride and Prejudice too. I love Austen. :up
GF, Haole, I loved Pride and Prejudice! :) Very very good. I admit that I tear when Mr. Darcy first told Jane he loved her.
``In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.''
:) Ok back to topic. Am reading 'The Lovely Bones' now, seems like Jane Eyre is very good. I'll check that out. :up
The Poisonwood Bible (Barbara Kingsolver) was oustanding! As was The Crystal Shard (R.A. Salvatore)! :nod
I've always loved Jane Eyre, have reread it about 20 times, same is true for most of Jane Austin's books. May go see if I can get Lovely Bones at the Libery.. Got to find something better to read.
About a 1/3 of the way through I started rewritting the book in my head. Which is a very bad sign.Quote:

I totally hated it and also thought it was so dark and dreary. I wanted to kick myself for actually finishing the book, but the first 100 pages showed some promise that was never fullfilled.
I must have a masochistic streak in me somewhere.
The book would have been much better if the whole "presentation of the new product" part had been 2 pages or less and more focus was spent on Enid and Albert's history as a couple, I was never able to get a good grasp of how this group of screwballs got to where they were and what's worse, I didn't care after awhile. If I wasn't so complusive, I would have set the darn book down about a thrid of the way through.
For a much better book that covers a family falling apart due to a father having dementia read "Dad" (the movie didn't do the book justice)
I thought you meant you've been reading a series of Hewlett-Packard instructional manuals. :laughQuote:

ok, i finished "a widow for one year" by john irving. i LOVED it. highly recommended.
Also finished Widow, and agree with Sher, it is Irving's best work since Owen Meany.

View Zoo Photo Gallery. Photos By Mike Siegel
This Classroom's a Zoo
Classes make use of SPU's neighborhood animal laboratory.
Every 30 seconds, Emily Bowerman's stopwatch beeps and she responds by scribbling notes on a clipboard. Emily wears a badge that reads, "Seattle Pacific University Biology 3434 Research Student" as she observes Kata and JoJo, a pair of geriatric tigers at the Woodland Park Zoo.
Emily is one of 15 students who took an "Animal Behavior" class that included a quarter-long research project. After 10 hours of observing one animal species, the students presented their findings to Woodland Park staff. The results may encourage exhibit changes, and the project is just one example of how a number of SPU classes from across departments have used the zoo as a second classroom.
Alisa Brossoit, now a graduate headed to veterinary school, studied displays of aggression in the zoo's 32 Chilean flamingos. She observed that before fighting, flamingos will often puff up their smooth feathers so that their bodies appear twice their normal size. The birds will shove each other or hit their beaks together to make a clattering noise. What surprised Alisa is that the young female flamingos are just as aggressive as the adult males.
Across the zoo from the flamingo exhibit, senior Todd Jacobsen watched the zoo's four 700-pound female elk. He went multiple times a week for 50-minute intervals or longer.
"It ends up being a lot of standing. A lot of people probably think it's boring. I didn't get bored. I really enjoyed it," he says, adding that he wants to be a wildlife biologist for the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Back at the tiger exhibit, Emily watches JoJo stand up from a rock ledge and walk over to drink from a pool of water. She makes more notes on her clipboard, "WK" for "walking" and "DR" for "drinking."
Kata has moved down to the exhibit's moat-like pit. From his perch out of sight, he slowly emits a low, rumbling growl. "This project does take a lot of time," Emily says. "But I think now I have a better foundation of how to go about doing research."

Pick Great Fabrics for Your Spring Wear
Go with the great crisp fabrics for spring. Always a hit is cotton, comfortable, breathable and look for the cottons that run hard and long are the no-iron. These crisp shirts and blouses will last the day and still look great whether you are in the conference/board room all day or running up and down from the desk. Silk is a great for fit and comfort, but always remember most of them require more maintenance and cost for cleaning. For spring and into summer season pick light weight wools and rayon and wool blends. Steer clear of linens – although they lend to comfort, they are the hardest to keep wrinkle free and don't have that crisp clean and professional look.

Frog Eyes are ready with a new album titled Paul's Tomb: A Triumph that's been perk-perk-percolating over last three years and was released on April 27th via Dead Oceans. They're currently out on tour with Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band and Pearly Gates Music.
Check out advance tracks with the songs "Lear in Love" and "A Flower in a Glove."
What's different this time is that the Frog Eyes approach breaks out of the "cleverness ghetto," as Dead Oceans puts it. Mr. Mercer found a better way to package the holistic whole of the Frog Eyes sound.
The vocals were also recorded in live takes, to remove the cold compression that happens when bands do lots if individual recording takes, only to end up pasting together bunch of disjointed samples that are not connected in any way.
"This approach has captured a rawness, a punk rock spirit too often smothered by Pro Tools," reads the Dead Oceans announcement.

When hiring a contractor, be they a builder, plumber or electrician, it is natural to want to get your money's worth. Below are some useful pointers on how to ensure that you get the best possible performance from your contractor and not compromise their ability to do the job correctly.
The first and perhaps most important thing to do is ask for and listen to their advice and benefit from their experience. Chances are that your contractor has been working in their chosen field for close to a decade or more and will have a wealth of first-hand knowledge at their disposal. This means that they will often have insights into that you may not have been able to acquire through your own research. That said, it never hurts to get a second opinion, so if you feel that one of their recommendations is unwise, don't be afraid to look elsewhere.
Another great tactic is to work with them to set clear deadlines that are not unrealistically optimistic. Often, a contractor can be working on several jobs at once and can encounter unexpected delays due to problems with other projects or just the sheer volume of work. Simply tempering your expectations can save a lot of stress and hassle down the line. A great way to avoid this problem is by scheduling work for the off-season (namely winter), when they will have far fewer customers. Not only will this avoid potential foul-ups when other commitments put pressure on your contractor's limited time, but at this time of year, they may also be able to obtain materials from wholesalers for a reduced cost, giving a significant boost to your budget.
Be honest and open about your budget and when handling payments. This will ensure that both parties will be on the same page when it comes to realizing the final design of the project. Thus, the contractor will have a good idea of what equipment and materials they should be looking to obtain so that they don't place an unnecessary strain on your finances. Being honest and punctual with payments will also help develop a good working relationship with the contractor, meaning that they will be less likely to regard you as an 'unreliable' client who is not worth their full attention.
Lastly, we strongly recommend that you leave them to their work and minimize unwarranted interruptions. Although it may be tempting to spend the day shooting the breeze with them, keep in mind that they are on the clock. By disturbing them in the middle of their work, you are only cutting into your own wallet. That is not to say you should be unavailable however; making sure that they have at least one point of contact to reach you at any time of the day is paramount to remaining 'in the loop' with the progression of the project. Additionally, it will give you the opportunity to respond quickly in the event of an emergency and minimize avoidable expenses.

Depths Of The Soul
Friend, the Lord plumbs deep into the depths of our souls.
He knows everything about each one of us.
We must give to Him the reins of our lives and He will make a new thing, cause changes to occur for our good, and help our minds establish a firm foundation.
Because, He can make a Way where there seems to be no way out of the mess, the trials, the pain and sorrow.
He is Lord, the King of all kings, Almighty God.
There is no other who can help us.
There is one who can hurt us; who says he will help us, but we have all met him, and know he is a liar.
Friend, hand the reins over to Jesus and anchor your soul into the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Allow Jesus to direct and guide your feet upon a new path.
He will renew your thinking, give you a new Hope, place Joy in your heart and bring you into the Light.
There is much to be learned so let the Victor start right now making a Way for you!
He needs your permission.

Church Christmas Card Project Day 5
For more information about my annual Church Christmas Card project, click here.
For today's Church Christmas card, I really wanted the focus to be on the night sky. I used watercolour paper and Distress Inks before cutting the Taylored Expressions die from the 'sky' paper and inlaying it into a white die-cut. I finished the card with an old Hero Arts sentiment.

Czech archeologists say they have uncovered the tomb of a previously unknown Egyptian queen, believed to be the wife of Pharaoh Neferefre.
Mamdouh al-Damaty, Egypt's minister of antiquities, said the queen's name was Khentakawess. She would be Khentakawess III, as two other queens with the same name have already been identified.
"This discovery will help us shed light on certain unknown aspects of the Fifth Dynasty, which along with the Fourth Dynasty, witnessed the construction of the first pyramids," Damaty said in a statement.
'This discovery will help us shed light on certain unknown aspects of the Fifth Dynasty.' - Mamdouh al-Damaty, Egypt's minister of antiquities
He said the queen's name and rank — wife of the king and mother of the king — were found inscribed inside the tomb.
The queen's burial place was found in Abusir, a site about 25 kilometres southwest of Cairo that includes a complex of pyramids for rulers from the Fifth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. Neferefre, whose tomb is in the complex, ruled about 4,500 years ago.
"This makes us believe that the queen was his wife," said Miroslav Barta, head of the team from the Czech Institute of Egyptology mission who made the discovery.
The second inscription, mother of the king, makes it likely the queen was the mother of Pharaoh Menkauhor, the successor of Pharaoh Nyuserre. Archeologists believe this to be true because it appears the queen was buried during Nyuserre's reign.
Czech archeologists uncovered Neferefre's tomb complex in the 1980s and '90s.
The Czech Institute of Egyptology has been excavating the site for nearly 55 years.

I have a canon SD1100 I just purchased and after a few minutes the camera will not shut off, the power button won't work and I have to open the battery cover to turn it off. Somehow this completely drains the battery too every time even if it was just charged. Also the camera turns itself on by itself about 10 minutes after you put the battery in it and once again you can't turn it off. I got another battery and the same thing happens.

Canon SD1100 won't turn on. I just bought a used one off of Ebay because I liked the model (mine was stolen) and it seemed to be working fine.

If not, i'm gonna have to return it...

Need info on Cutshall and variations
We are a family of 'Cutchall' in Arkansas.I have just started this search and do not have much information.My grandfather (Charles Otis) was the youngest of 11 children, and he died a little about 2 years ago. His father (Henry Lewis Cutchall) died in the 1940's, at about 72 years old.We know that he was born in Arkansas, his father, I still have to find the name, was born in Ohio, and moved to here.
I do know that there are Cutshalls in this area.
Two brothers(Henry L. and Charlie) fought over a woman, and one changed the spelling of his name. Each side say they have the true spelling, regardless, we are all related.
I will check back from time to time to see how you are doing.

Is that not the problem with most of this administration's policies? The President has chosen to be served by those whose careers have been restricted to academics and/or government.

I'm not sure that "business reality" takes the principal-agent problem more seriously than "wonk theory" does. But it does seem to take a radically different view of what incentives matter.
Businesses take the principal-agent problem by devising incentive systems that align the agent's selfish incentives with the principal's selfish desires. If you want your customer service rep to solve problems quickly, you set call time quotas, track individual performance, give bonuses to those that outperform, and reprimand those that fail to meet your metrics. Business accepts that this creates occasionally perverse incentives where your agent intentionally pushes customers to hang up without actually solving the problem because the second call starts a new timer and compensates by creating multiple metrics (call time, number of repeat calls, cost of fixes, etc.)
Policy wonks, on the other hand, seem to believe that they can solve the principal-agent problem through logic. They seem to believe that if they can only educate the agent about why the principal's desires are a Good Thing (TM) and the principal's motives are pure, the agent will do what's right because the agent is a good person. If the agent doesn't behave as the principal desires even after the principal patiently explains why the objective is good, the agent must either not be smart enough to understand the principal's arguments or must desire the bad outcome.
I'm not convinced that the problem in this case was that the government didn't explain the desired outcome to the banks or that the regulations were terribly difficult for the banks to implement. The problem appears to be much more one of incentives. Individual banks have very little incentive to aggressively implement HAMP regulations because there is little realistic prospect that an individual bank will gain more from implementing HAMP aggressively than they would spend building systems and training people to be able to do so. Individual banks make the economically practical decision that they are better off spending as little as possible and implementing the least aggressive HAMP program possible even if they accept the policy wonk argument that if everyone were to aggressively implement the program the country as a whole would be better off.

I might be a bit miffed, or I'd be thinking you should have had a separate one for us. I'm pretty rational too, and while I wouldn't be horribly upset, I'd feel a bit more distant than I did before.If someone on your mom's side hosted it, then it wouldn't bother me. But if YOU hosted it, then I'd feel a bit hurt. Why is it you wouldn't include your dad's side of the family? Just invite them to come by that day and see the baby--don't make the invitations really formal or anything. Just invite them.

Having problems with your PC Desktops ?
I bought a used dell 4300, from a buisness that was going under, and the one that i got is password protected.hopw can i just wipe it clean and reinstall everything i have all the disks
Answers :
Yes, you can do that and you should be able to reinstall your OS and other programmes. The only other exception to this soulution is if the unit is password protected on the board level - BIOS. If the system is password protected protected at the BIOS level, you can try getting into the BIOS and try resetting it there. Many times, you may not be able to do this depending on the system configuration of the unit. Good luck.
Ok if you have the original windows disk You can start it by making the chang ein BIOs to boot from ATAPI Run windows setup ,When it has run its course of loading files etc it will give you an option to proceed or exit. proceed. It will show ypou a version of windows that is installed.( note partition size) Delete it and remove the partition This will wipe the disk clean Then create a new partition using the same size and format it. EWindows will then begin to install.
