although the software was infamous, it did not see a lot of action. fbi documents indicate that it was only used 8 times in fiscal 2003, 5 times in fy2002, and about 25 times between 1998 and 2000.
estimates place the cost of the software between us$6 million and $15 million, and the fbi originally claimed that carnivore was far superior to any commercially available product. however, the fbi is now using an unspecified commercially available product to perform the same tasks. according to fbi spokesman paul bresson, "we see the value in the commercially available software; we're using it more now and we're asking the internet service providers that have the capabilities to collect data in compliance with court orders."

christopher's opinion
boy, did this create a stink when it first came out. all that hubbub and money for less than 50 uses … i think the term waste is too gentle to describe it.
i would like to know something else, though: beyond the number of times used, was carnivore effective? did it catch anybody? if it stopped a disaster then sure, you could argue that the time, money, and energy were worth it. if it only discovered that billy was cheating on his wife (no offense to any billys out there) then i would have to say no.
i just wish mu job would hold me to the same "rigorous" standards that the fbi uses. i would be invincible.

why pay obscene fees to a "contractor" when one can just use oss stuff that works better?
also, most isps have tools, in place, to give the feds most any information that they want, re: an account's activity. spooks show up @ isp's offices with a 'john doe' warrent [easier for them to get since the usapatriot act passed, but that's a whole can of worms, in itself], and they don't need to try to use some outdated packet sniffer.

|anyone read anything anymore? (11:42pm est thu jan 20 2005)
did anyone happen to read the real story behind this, or do we all just believe the worst case scenario?
i'm not one to believe everything my government tells me, but in this case their line is more believable in light of common sense than the yarn the media has spun.
1) the fbi and isps have always had the ability to track and read emails.
don't believe that? think your government is lying to you? then ask yourself this: why would the fbi spend millions to develop a system, then scrap it? the fbi can read whatever it wants, whenever it wants. don't be fooled into thinking they needed carnivore to read emails, they can already do that. they needed to read emails that would then be admissable as evidence in a court of law.
the private sector had no incentive to develop the ability to narrow the search scope on electronic eavesdropping because they are not hampered by privacy laws like law enforcement is.
hence carnivore, and now bye bye to carnivore because they can just buy what they need off the shelf. – by dancemonkey

broke out tport pro one day and made a few changes to the code just to se how long it would surf all by itself record was like 15 hours with a grand total of 723 thousand requests and 491,856 urls searched—just reads the first page of a web site so not to bog down the server it currently weaseling its way through the internet following link after link after link.
that the nice thing about the net ,all the links to other sites makes a good rail for the bot to ride on and accumulate data not to mention rack up one hell of a surfing history with the isp–wonder how long they keep that data??? hahahaah maybe they just dump it once it reached a certain level–could carnivore keep up with such a bot? pretending to surf the web at supersonic speeds?——is fun to do though when im board just to eat bandwidth. – by imabot

Lately I've been interviewing job candidates because our credit union's executive assistant had the audacity to follow her military husband to a new duty station.
I hadn't interviewed anyone in a while. So I've been surprised by applicants' vocabularies. Rather than pitiful begging, the air has been full of buzzwords, which proves—at least with today's worker—the thesaurus is not a dinosaur.
|James Collins is Credit Union Magazine's humor columnist.
After the billionth or so applicant, I found my mind wandering. What did their phrases really mean? Here are my guesses (tongue-in-cheek, of course):
There was one conversation with an applicant, however, that had a much deeper meaning. The woman had worked for a local government agency.
We were a bit perplexed, not grasping the logic of quitting a good job with great benefits and low turnover for something inherently more risky.
At her interview, our human resource manager asked her this question directly: "Why do you want to work for us?"
She stretched out her hands, sighed a bit, and responded carefully: "Because I want to be known as a person, not as an FTE [full-time employee]."
I thought about that comment for the next few days. As a CEO, I look at FTE reports weekly and sometimes daily. I question why we had overtime last week, and overlook the fact that perhaps someone stayed late to help a working family fill out some paperwork.
For all the buzzwords people think we want to hear, sometimes it's the simple truths that mean more.
This credit union doesn't have 52 FTEs. It employs 52 unique people.

Well, hello there. Long time no see.
I take all the blame, so don't chew me out too badly. It's one of those things we go through in life, I guess. Changes, eventides. It happens. Sometimes we're surprised by it, sometimes now.
Anyway, just wanted to drop in and say "Hey." So, "Hey!" Hope everyone's doing fine. Things are good with me, can't complain; nobody'd listen anyway. Trust me. I've been complaining for decades, and so far, nobody's listened. That's fair enough. I seldom listen when anyone complains either.

Following the successful pilot of its Green Team initiative in Cambridgeshire this summer, EDGE partner Groundwork East is recruiting a new team of people to work on the first community park at Alconbury Weald.
Volunteers for the Green Team will have the opportunity to learn new skills, gain qualifications and improve their employment prospects while helping to create allotments and build a skate park for new residents and the local community to enjoy.
The project is part of Alconbury Weald's commitment to use the development of the former airfield site to provide employment opportunities for local people. Green Team was developed as an initiative to help people gain experience and be job-ready for careers in landscaping and construction.
Volunteers will work with Whiting Landscapes to gain experience in practical horticulture, landscaping, timber construction, concreting, fencing, planting, hedging and laying turf. This will be supplemented by skills and employability training from Groundwork and, on completion, participants can achieve Level 1 Diploma in Practical Horticulture and functional skills in English and Maths.
Andrea Finbow, EDGE Advisor and Employment and Community Project Supervisor for Groundwork East, said: "Groundwork has a strong track record of using landscape projects to give people the experience, confidence and qualifications to find their first job or get back into work.
"St Neots was our first project in Cambridgeshire and was a great success. Those who took part felt a real sense of achievement from seeing their work make a real difference to the Riverside area. It also helped them maintain a regular routine, work as part of a team and gain valuable skills and qualifications, which put them in a good place to get a job going forward.
"We involve local companies at every stage - from practical experience to help with mock interviews and employability tips - so that, throughout the course, team members have the chance to build links with local businesses. This will be especially true on the Alconbury Weald project where the team will work alongside Urban&Civic's contractors and will be able to have mock and real interviews for jobs coming up on site."
EDGE is a jobs and skills partnership that works with Alconbury Weald, and businesses in the region to help local people find work and help businesses recruit and develop staff.
Rebecca Britton, Communities and Partnerships for Urban&Civic, said: "We are delighted that the next Green Team will be helping create our first community park. The volunteers will learn new skills from experienced professionals and will be working on an exciting green project at Alconbury Weald that will provide new residents with a range of recreational facilities."
To be considered for the Green Team initiative, volunteers needs to be in receipt of benefits, able to commit to four days a week (10.30am to 3pm) for 14 weeks and be prepared to work outside and undertake training to achieve their qualifications.
More information will be available at the three recruitment days being held at Huntingdon JobCentre from 10am to 4pm on the 5th, 13th and 20th December 2016 or contact Andrea Finbow on 07736 132497 or email email@example.com.
The induction day for the new Green Team is scheduled for 5 January 2017 at the EDGE shop and the project is due to start on 10 January 2017.

RedShift's Website Portfolio for BrightBox Clients
When RedShift Writers Founder Daniel J. Cohen contacted BrightBox Brand Marketing, the company was on the verge of a tremendous breakthrough. BrightBox, started in 2007 by renowned sales strategist Jason Arcemont and creative champion Patrick McDonough, quickly transformed itself from an infant startup into a multi-million dollar company on the brink of Inc. 500 status.
However, the company still needed strong content and effective messaging to round out its already powerful brand and company. Furthermore, BrightBox's clients sought strong content to better communicate with their customers.

RedShift delivered for client after client, providing satisfying results for customers in a wide variety of industries.

Businesses get the best results from their advertising when they mix Internet Advertising with Traditional Advertising. Media Buying Decisions prides itself on our results and reputation in the marketplace because we combine technology with marketing to advertise your products or services. Our strategic system for buying spots on media outlets proves to be a greater value to our customer. Many businesses try to save time or money by buying spots direct or through an ad agency, but they need to hire someone analytical to ensure the spots are of best value for you. Media Buying Decisions will save both time and money to achieve the best decision. We'll evaluate your business and start developing a dynamic solution to your advertising needs.
Our company is under the guidance of Todd Brewster the founder and the lead developer of Media Buying Decisions' buying system. Todd Brewster is the chief hands-on media buyer and oversees every step of the negotiation process, which is set up via analytical research. His system is better because Todd has a degree in mathematics; trained on major accounts like Sears, Ford and Burger King and forged this media buying service for over 30 years. You won't find a better resume. Compare to most media buying services whose owners sold TV or radio station, but did not buy. They understand the lingo and low rates, but they won't consistently get you better value or make necessary adjustments based on the response. Bottom line – Media Buying Decisions' system will bring a better return on your advertising investment.
Advertising: The Basics
Think you have a great product? Unfortunately, no one's going to know about it unless you advertise.
Advertising, if done correctly, can do wonders for your product sales, and you know what that means: more revenue and more success for your business. But be warned: it is not a panacea.
Below you will find a list of what advertising can and can't do for your business, along with the steps you can take to start using advertising to your business's advantage.
What Advertising Can Do For Your Business
• Remind customers and inform prospective customers about the benefits of your product or service
• Establish and maintain your distinct identity
• Enhance your reputation
• Encourage existing customers to buy more of your product/service
• Attract new customers and replace lost ones
• Slowly build sales to boost your bottom line
• Promote your business to customers, investors, and others
What Advertising Cannot Do For Your Business
• Create an instant customer base
• Cause an immediate, sharp increase in sales
• Solve cash flow or profit problems
• Substitute for poor or indifferent customer service
• Sell useless or unwanted products or services
Two Important Virtues of Advertising
• You have complete control. Unlike public-relations efforts, you determine exactly where, when and how often your message will appear, how it will look and what it will say. You can target your audience more readily and aim at very specific geographic areas.
• You can be consistent. Presenting your company's image and sales message repeatedly to build awareness and trust. A distinctive identity will eventually become clearly associated with your company. Customers will recognize your brand and product quickly and easily if you're consistent in presentation.
• It takes planning. Advertising works best and costs the least when the planning and preparation are done in advance. For example, you'll pay less per ad in newspapers and magazines by agreeing to run several ads over time rather than deciding on an issue-by-issue basis. Likewise, you can save money by preparing a number of ads at once.
• It takes time and persistence. The effectiveness of your advertising improves gradually over time because it's impossible for every customer to see every ad. You must repeatedly remind prospects and customers about the benefits of doing business with you. The long-term effort triggers recognition and helps special offers or direct marketing payoff.
Getting Ready to Advertise
Use the following steps to help draw a blueprint for your business's advertising plan:
1. Design the Framework
• What is the purpose of your advertising program? Start by defining your company's long-range goals, then map out how marketing can help attain them. Focus on advertising routes complementary to your marketing efforts. Set measurable goals so you can evaluate the success of your advertising campaign. For example, do you want to increase overall sales by 20 percent this year? Boost sales to existing customers by 10 percent during each of the next three years? Appeal to younger or older buyers? Sell off old products to free resources for new ones?
• How much can you afford to invest? Keep in mind that whatever amount you allocate will never seem like enough. Even giants such as Proctor & Gamble and Pepsi always feel they could augment their advertising budgets. Given your income, expenses, and sales projections, simple addition and subtraction can help you determine how much you can afford to invest. Some companies spend a full 10 percent of their gross income on advertising, others just 1 percent. Research and experiment to see what works best for your business.
2. Fill in the Details
• What are the features and benefits of your product or service? When determining features, think of automobile brochures that list engine, body and performance specifications. Next, and more difficult, determine the benefits those features provide to your customers. How does your product or service actually help them? For example, a powerful engine helps a driver accelerate quickly to get onto busy freeways.
• Who is your audience? Create a profile of your best customer. Be as specific as possible, as this will be the focus of your ads and media choices. A restaurant may target adults who dine out frequently in the nearby city or suburban area. A computer software manufacturer may aim at information managers in companies with 10-100 employees. A bottled water company may try to appeal to athletes or people over 25 who are concerned about their health.
• Who is your competition? It's important to identify your competitors and their strengths and weaknesses. Knowing what your competition offers that you lack – and vice versa – helps you show prospects how your product or service is special and why they should do business with you instead of someone else. Knowing your competition will also help you find a niche in the marketplace.
3. Arm Yourself with Information
• What do you know about your industry, market and audience? There are many sources of information to help you keep in touch with industry, market and buying trends without conducting expensive market research. Examples include U.S. Government materials from the Census Bureau and Department of Commerce. Public, business or university libraries are also a good option, as are industry associations, trade publications, and professional organizations. You can quickly and easily learn more about your customers by simply asking them about themselves, their buying preferences, and media habits. Another (more expensive) alternative is to hire a professional market research firm to conduct your research.
4. Build Your Action Plan – Evaluating Media Choices
• Your next step is to select the advertising vehicles you will use to carry your message and establish an advertising schedule. In most cases, knowing your audience will help you choose the media that will deliver your sales message most effectively. Use as many of the above tools as are appropriate and affordable. You can stretch your media budget by taking advantage of co-op advertising programs offered by manufacturers. Although programs vary, generally the manufacturer will pay for a portion of media space, time costs or mailer production charges up to a fixed amount per year. The total amount contributed is usually based on the quantity of merchandise you purchase.
• When developing your advertising schedule, be sure to take advantage of any special editorial or promotional coverage planned in the media you select. Newspapers, for example, often run special sections featuring real estate, investing, home and garden improvement, and tax advice. Magazines also often focus on specific themes in each issue.
5. Using Other Promotional Avenues
• Advertising extends beyond the media described above. Other options include imprinting your company name and graphic identity on pens, paper, clocks, calendars and other giveaway items for your customers. Put your message on billboards, inside buses and subways, on vehicle and building signs, on point-of-sale displays and on shopping bags.
• You might co-sponsor events with nonprofit organizations and advertise your participation, attend or display at consumer or business trade shows, create tie-in promotions with allied businesses, distribute newsletters, conduct seminars, undertake contests or sweepstakes, send advertising flyers along with billing statements, use telemarketing to generate leads for salespeople, or develop sales kits with brochures, product samples, and application ideas.
• The number of promotional tools used to deliver your message and repeat your name is limited only by your imagination and your budget.
The Advertising Campaign
You are ready for action when armed with knowledge of your industry, market and audience, have a media plan and schedule, know your product or service's most important benefits, and have measurable goals in terms of sales volume, revenue generated and other criteria.
The first step is to establish the theme that identifies your product or service in all of your advertising. The theme of your advertising reflects your special identity or personality and the particular benefits of your product or service. For example, cosmetics ads almost always rely on a glamorous theme. Many food products opt for healthy, all-American family campaigns. Automobile advertising frequently concentrates on how the car makes you feel about owning or driving it rather than performance attributes.
Tag lines reinforce the single most important reason for buying your product or service. "Nothing Runs Like a Deere" (John Deere farm vehicles) conveys performance and endurance with a nice twist on the word deer. "Ideas at Work" (Black & Decker tools and appliances) again signifies performance, but also shows reliability and imagination. "How the Smart Money Gets that Way" (Barron's financial publication) clearly connotes prosperity, intelligence and success.
Comparing Advertising and Public Relations
|Public Relations
|Space or time in the mass media must be purchased.
|Mass media coverage (if any) is not paid for.
|You determine the message.
|The media controls the interpretation of the message.
|You control timing.
|The media controls the timing.
|One-way communication – using the mass media does not allow feedback.
|Two-way communication – the company should be listening as well as talking, and the various PR venues often provide immediate feedback.
|Message sponsor is identified.
|Message sponsor is not overtly identified.
|The intention of most messages is to inform, persuade, or remind about a product – usually with the intention of making a sale.
|The intention of public relations efforts is often to create goodwill, to keep the company and/or product in front of the public, or to humanize a company so the public relates to its people or reputation, rather than viewing the company as a non-personal entity.
|The public may view the message negatively, recognizing advertising as an attempt to persuade or manipulate them.
|The public often sees public relations messages that have been covered by the media as more neutral or believable.
|Very powerful at creating image.
|Can also create image, but can sometimes stray from how it was originally intended.
|Writing style is usually persuasive and can be very creative, often taking a conversational tone; it may even be grammatically incorrect.

Egypt's January Revolution collapsed for many reasons. Some are to do with the structure of power and role of the military in political life. Others with mistakes committed by the new forces in the management of crises in the post revolution phase, failing to rise above ideological differences and forge strong alliances to curb the army's dominance and limit its influence. While the pro-revolution camp spent its energy in internecine feuding and blame slinging, the counter-revolutionary machine, oiled with the Gulf monarchies' petrodollars, set about making ordinary Egyptians' lives a misery. Through manufactured chaos, manipulations of fuel and food prices, obstructions of government by the old bureaucracy in the judiciary, administration and intelligence services and a media wedded to SCAF and the old oligarchs, Egyptians were convinced their country was teetering on the verge of destruction.
Salvation came in the person of General Sisi. In one of history's darkest ironies, facts were reversed and terms stripped of meaning. With the usurpation of power, symbols were also usurped, as Tahrir Square, emblem of popular revolt against authoritarianism, was turned into a gigantic open air theatre where the old regime was euphorically greeted back. The brutal military coup was a "corrective movement" and the counter-revolution was dubbed the "glorious June 30th revolution," nothing less. The coup staged against a democratically elected president, freely chosen by a majority of the people, was in defence of democracy and an embodiment of the people's will.
From the outset, Sisi was cast as a selfless defence minister nobly rising to the call of duty for his nation's sake. He was a servant of the people, altruistically bowing to the popular will. His legitimacy rested on a direct mandate from the people, who yearned for salvation, order and stability. His was a "historic responsibility" he declared. "We will build an Egyptian society that is strong and stable, that will not exclude any one of its sons."
Two years after this televised address, Egypt looks nothing like this promised heaven of stability and cohesiveness. Scores of Egyptians have been murdered by an ever more rampant police, sentenced to death in kangaroo courts, or jailed in the most inhumane conditions where torture is routine. Dissent is not tolerated, with the media and the press reduced to the role of state propagandists singing the General's praises and parroting his words.
Neither was Sisi's tyrannical rule able to yield stability, with an insurgency in Sinai, attacks in the capital itself, sustained civil conflict and martial law. Sisi's security credentials have been as abysmal as his democratic record.
Is it any wonder then, that voting stations have been deserted over the last two days of Egypt's parliamentary polls?
In what observers have described as "elections without voters," turnout has been as low as 3% in some polling stations. In a movement of mass silent opposition, people defied a state propaganda which ranged from passionate entreaties and fervent appeals to patriotic sentiments and religious faith, to veiled and open threats to abstainers of fines and denunciations for treason. Egyptians have simply refused to be part of the farce designed to drape Sisi in a democratic cloak he still desperately needs to rub away the stain of his blood-drenched military coup.
While the new forces that suddenly rose to power in the revolution's aftermath, without forging common alliances, proved incapable of surmounting the mighty obstacles on the way, the counter-revolution spearheaded by the military is in crisis today too. In spite of all the repression and persecution, the old guard have been unable to mould the Egyptian landscape as they see fit or dictate the course of events. Protest to their rule is ongoing and expanding, taking on open and silent forms. From defiant weekly demonstrations in different parts of the country, to voters staying in and resolutely abstaining from polling en masse.
Sooner or later, Sisi will no doubt come to realize that his magical recipe of oppression and mass anaesthesia through media and religious propaganda will not transform him into a present-day Nasser. For beyond his self-aggrandising illusions, the truth is that he is neither a hero nor a national saviour, but a reckless military adventurer and the leader of a counterrevolution that may last for a few years, but will eventually wither away.

No more skin irritation after shaving – here's how!!!
When you shave, your skin is put under great stress creating not only exfoliation and dryness but also the possibility of tie rash. These are common results from shaving.
The following procedures are recommended for optimum effect to minimise the stress to your skin:
1. Shave after your bath or shower when your facial hairs are soft and stand away from the skin.
2. Always use shaving cream for sensitive skin. Definitely no soap!!
3. When you shave the same area twice, be sure to reapply cream.
4. Shave in the direction of your hair growth.
5. Use short, light strokes.
6. Rinse with cold water and pat dry.
Always use after shave lotion which is formulated especially for this reason. The lotion or moisturiser should not contain other ingredients which can increase skin irritation. If you have sensitive skin, always make sure the cream or lotion contains Aloe or other ingredients which will soothe and relax the shaving area. Kirra uses only 100% natural ingredients and the aluminium container is used to ensure that your product has a longer shelf life.

#68 Catering, Venues & Bacon! Beth Albright
January 10th, 2018
1 hr 2 mins 26 secs
About this Episode
We're picking brains around here and this week, we're lucky to have taken an hour of Beth Albright's busy day. She is the Director of Development for a catering company in Dallas, TX - Food Glorious Food. She works directly with couples planning their wedding - both on the catering side, and as a venue contact. Beth might be the person that you meet on your first site visit to a venue - to see the space, and to talk about the venue's policies. Some venues have on-site catering, some have preferred or required vendors lists for you to choose from, and some venues let you bring in a potluck. Which venue to choose is a very important decision! Beth breaks it down for us and answers lots of questions regarding food, beverage, and rentals while she's at it.
Big Takeaways
The more you know, the better! In terms of visiting venues in order to narrow down your options...don't schedule visits until you are prepared, at least as prepared as you can be. Pick a couple venues to see after you check out their offerings online. And when you go to do a site visit, know your basics: overall budget, approximate guest count, and things you ABSOLUTELY do/don't want in a venue.
With 'in house' catering - like at a hotel, the fees are typically all tied into the food and beverage costs. So you may see that the hotel offers a budget 'Silver' wedding package and it's $75/person for your 300 guest wedding. That seems like a lot, but you aren't paying rental fees for the ballroom, rentals and staffing. A hotel will likely draft a 'minimum' for your to meet in your initial proposal...something like $20,000. You are commiting to spending AT LEAST $20,000 at this hotel on your wedding, one way or another.
Working with a caterer that has worked at the venue A LOT is always a good bet. Then they know about the physical logistics of loading in for a wedding. And how long it takes, how much staff they need, etc. This is why an in-house caterer, or a single contracted caterer that works at a venue is a good, safe bet. They know what they are doing specifically at that venue. If you have a hearty budget and want things to be easy-peasy, this is a good way to start!
Your venue may include a 'wedding coordinator' in their rental package. Dig into this a little and ask them exactly what this person will do on the wedding day, and in the weeks leading up to it. We recommend you hire a professional wedding planner...even if only for a 'Month of' planning package. It's worth it. Beth agrees.
Ask specifically about the hours included when you are on your site visit for a venue. Does this time frame include set-up and strike? How much does it cost for an additional hour? What about if you go into overtime on the event day? Does the music have to stop at a certain time?
A catering company - an off-premise catering company - has more flexibility with the menu options and pricing than a hotel chain will.
If more than 50% of your guests are going to drink at your reception, and you have a choice between Open Bar and charging On Consumption - pay for the open bar hours. Odds are, you will get more bang for your buck this way.
Lots of specific catering advice is dropped in this episode. We talk about apps, soup, action stations and why everyone loves a late night snack. Take heed if you're planning your wedding menu!
Tipping! No one expects it, everyone appreciates it. Beth tells us how to best tip your catering staff, and what that 'service charge' line in your catering proposal really means. (Hint: it's not a tip for the staff.)

DEC on DRAGON: DEC on dragon
"Start with what is included with the building rental. Tables, chairs, linens, lounge furniture, valet, security, staff...every venue is going to be different when it comes to what's included." - Beth
"If everyone could hire a wedding planner - a good, trained wedding planner - that would be amazing. You want that one person that is the decision-maker for everything." - Beth
"Certain times of the year, I have more flexibility to adjust my menu prices and my equipment rentals. Off months are July, August, some of September…" - Beth, on the seasonal aspect of weddings in Texas
"That's something to ask: If we are going to pay for 50 bottles and we don't drink them all, do we get them back at the end of the night?" - Christy, on the details of your bar package. (In Texas, you can't take those bottles home with you, btw.)
"You can carve this meat, this meat, or this meat!" - Christy, on action station options…
"People do not turn down pigs-in-a-blanket. People do not turn down stuff wrapped in bacon." "Anything in bacon!" - Christy and Beth agree on pork products
"Be clear on your decisions before you email your vendors to make the change." - Christy, on good communication skills

Australia is the worst offender per capita for online piracy apparently. Oh boo hoo. Personally I'm sick of the sooky carry-on from the industry heavyweights and how hard done by they are. Wah wah wah. You might try listening to the reasons why people resort to piracy instead of pursuing your ridiculously outdated and broken distribution model. Honestly, open your damn fool eyes and see the shrubbery in the forest or however the saying goes.
|We're a very naughty bunch of people apparently.
These corporations who I'm sure are run by half-witted baboons think going after the little guy for exorbitant amounts either through the courts or via 'speculative invoicing' is the best approach. Speculative Invoicing is where they speculate how much money they possibly lost then try to scare you into paying to make it all go away, in other words, blackmail. Internet provider iinet are currently in a court battle with a mob who want them to release account details of those who downloaded* 'Dallas Buyers Club'. Iinet are pretty much telling them to get stuffed (in a legalistic kind of way) and I say good on you iinet, serve it up them.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating piracy here but the problem is being dealt with in entirely the wrong way. Piracy is a result of an unfair playing field controlled by the film and television heavyweights who refuse to listen to what people actually want. Seriously, we're living in a global society more connected than ever before yet these twits still think a delayed release model is adequate. This, and inflated prices, are what is commonly referred to as the 'Australia Tax' and people are jack of it. We are being made to wait unreasonable times for the release of new TV shows and movies, months and months in some cases. Game of Thrones Season 4 was the single most pirated show recently and do you know why? Foxtel stitched up an exclusive deal with HBO so unless you had Foxtel you had to wait and try to avoid some twit blabbing about it on Facebook and ruining everything.
|Even Tyrian thinks we get a raw deal
This sort of garbage doesn't sit well with a lot of people, and some people simply can't justify a cable TV subscription for the sake of one show because let's face it, apart from GoT, what else is on cable worth watching? I'm not spending my hard earned cash on a 24-hour Everybody Loves Raymond marathon!
There is a light at the end of the tunnel though, we're finally getting Netflix over here in the coming weeks which is great news, these guys get it; a reasonable amount for access to heaps of streaming content. I'm one of a few hundred thousand Aussies that already have services like Netflix, Hulu Plus and VUDU** and for literally tens of thousands of movies and a squillion TV episodes I pay around $25 per month – and this includes latest release stuff. The industry doesn't like people like us but it's perfectly legal so they can bugger off.
|Netflix goodness
This is what people want, true entertainment on demand, what we want, when we want and it's encouraging to see providers here starting to cotton onto this. In addition to Netflix we will have probably the most stupidly named streaming service ever, Stan (really?), Foxtel's offering of Presto and the already running but underwhelming Quickflix. Netflix's announcement they were coming to Australia had an immediate impact on Presto who were quick to drop their prices from $25 per month to $10.
It will be a fragmented market to begin with but it's a step in the right direction. We just need Hollywood to pull their heads out of their bums and stop delaying releases otherwise people will continue to find ways around their antiquated restrictions.
Now all we need to do is get Australia's internet sorted out, but that's for another rant.
Do you think true on-demand entertainment is the way of the future?
*Downloading a movie is not the big issue here, it's more those who allow the movie to be uploaded to others (which is the basic function of a peer to peer network such as uTorrent). This is the basis of the claim surrounding Dallas Buyers Club LLC (the rights holders) as they claim one person could potentially be sharing portions of the movie with thousands of other people. This is what they base their speculative invoicing on and feel justified in charging thousands of dollars. If you receive one of these letters throw it in the bin.
**VUDU is a streaming rental service which is free to join but charges per rental (equivalent pricing to a video shop).

Full Mouth Reconstruction: Restore Your Smile
Do you have long-standing dental concerns such as damaged, loose, or missing teeth? Many patients put off dental care or experience significant decay and health issues that require extensive restorative care. Practicing gentle, painless dentistry, OKC Dental Arts can help. Our practice provides all types of restorative dentistry treatments, including full mouth reconstruction. At our practice in Oklahoma City, OK, we can help you restore full function and aesthetics to your smile. Dr. Fling always emphasizes patient comfort, offering soothing amenities and sedation options for anxious patients.
Candidates for Treatment
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive approach to treating multiple or chronic dental problems. Candidates include patients who may have difficulty chewing food, speaking, or smiling because of tooth loss, dental damage, and other other issues. Patients may also experience pain, extensive decay, chipped or worn teeth, and inflamed or damaged gums.
For some patients, oral issues are caused or exacerbated by the position of the jaw. When teeth do not meet correctly for biting and chewing, they may wear unevenly, break or come loose. Other patients may suffer from advanced periodontal (gum) disease. In each case, it is important to identify and treat the cause of the problems as well as the symptoms.
Combining Procedures
At our practice, we can combine several procedures that provide restorative and cosmetic benefits. Some of our available treatments for full mouth reconstruction include:
- Fillings, inlays, and onlays to treat decay or replace worn fillings
- Dental crowns to preserve and strengthen or replace damaged or missing teeth
- A dental bridge to replace two or three teeth
- Dental implants to replace teeth roots and secure restorations
- Implant-supported dentures to replace a row or full set of teeth
- Cosmetic procedures to repair or conceal chips, cracks and other imperfections
- Treatment for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
Dr. Fling has extensive experience providing durable, lifelike restorations. Our practice uses the best materials available to restore your smile, emphasizing functional strength and durability along with aesthetics.
Comprehensive Care with a Gentle Touch
All full mouth reconstruction begins with an exam and detailed diagnostics with advanced digital imaging. After discussing your treatment goals, Dr. Fling will develop a comprehensive plan, including a precise, custom wax up to guide the fabrication of restorations and help you understand your future results. Dr. Fling has extensive experience providing durable, lifelike restorations. Our practice uses the best materials available to restore your smile, emphasizing functional strength and durability along with aesthetics.
