text: Latest News Why ISIS is behind the Turkish wedding massacre Terrorist incidents in Turkey are not 'false flags'. They point to a deteriorating security picture caused by the Syrian war. Published 2 years ago on August 22, 2016 By Alexander Mercouris 433 Views Share Tweet The massacre of 51 people at a Kurdish wedding party by a suicide bombing in the Turkish city of Gaziantep is a horrible atrocity. It also points to the deteriorating security situation in Turkey. Terrorist incidents associated with ISIS which have taken place in Europe invariably receive a colossal amount of international media coverage. By contrast the far more frequent acts of far more deadly terrorism which now regularly take place in Turkey achieve far less. This despite the fact that Turkey is a NATO ally and a candidate for EU membership. That fact incidentally shows how Western politicians, the Western media and indeed the Western public generally, do not really consider Turkey to be a European or Western country. Turkish President Erdogan has blamed the massacre on ISIS. He is almost certainly right. At the time of the elections in Turkey last year various claims were spread that some of the terrorist incidents which were taking place at that time in Turkey were false flag affairs, carried out as part of some sort of "strategy of tension" to rally support for President Erdogan. That is extremely unlikely. Very few governments carry out such actions because of the obvious danger they may backfire. The political situation in a country has to be very bad indeed – much worse than it was in Turkey last year – before even the worst governments are prepared to do such things. Besides there is always the difficulty of finding collaborators within the state's security services who are willing to undertake such actions. Whilst such things have certainly happened in other places in the past, it is unlikely they were taking place in Turkey last year, or are happening in Turkey now. It seems far more likely that the terrorist attacks in Turkey, both the ones last year and the most recent one in Gaziantep, are part of a deliberate strategy by ISIS to turn the Turkish and Kurdish populations of Turkey against each other. From ISIS's perspective such a strategy makes sense. With ISIS under heavy pressure from Kurdish fighters in Iraq and Syria it is logical for ISIS to try to turn the Turks ad the Kurds against each other, especially at a time when President Erdogan and his government are talking of joining Russia in a military campaign against ISIS. What the latest atrocity at Gaziantep does show is the disastrous mistake Erdogan and his government made when they backed the US's and the Gulf Arabs' regime strategy in Syria. Turkey has now become a staging area for Jihadi fighters travelling to Syria, and sections of its own population are as a result in the process of becoming radicalised. The result is that Turkey now has a major terrorist problem where 10 years ago it had none. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Macron pushed hard to have the new regulations include (and derail) Nord Stream 2, an action which annoyed Angela Merkel, who eventually got her way and delivered another blow to Macron's failing French presidency.

Via The Express UK… Angela Merkel hit back at Emmanuel Macron over Russia and Germany's pipeline project, declaring it would "not be a one-sided dependency". The German Chancellor explained that Germany will expand its gas terminals with "liquified gas". Speaking at a press conference, Ms Merkel declared: "Do we become dependent on Russia because of this second gas pipeline? I say no, if we diversify. Germany will expand its gas terminals with liquefied gas. "This means that we do not want to depend only on Russia, but Russia was a source of gas in the Cold War and will remain one. "But it would not be one-sided dependency." Via DW… The EU parliament and its Council are set to adopt new regulations on gas pipelines connecting the bloc members with non-EU countries, the EU Commission announced early on Wednesday. The upcoming directive is based on a compromise between EU member states and EU officials in Brussels. The bloc leaders agreed to tighten Brussels' oversight of gas delivery and expand its rules to all pipelines plugging into the EU's gas distribution network. "The new rules ensure that… everyone interested in selling gas to Europe must respect European energy law," EU Energy Commissioner Miguel Arias Canete said in a statement. For example, owners of pipelines linking EU and non-EU countries would also be required to allow access for their competitors. Brussels would also have more power regarding transparency and tariff regulations. Russian ambassador slams US Brussels has repeatedly expressed concern over the controversial Nord Stream 2 project which would deliver Russian gas directly to Germany through a pipeline under the Baltic Sea. Many EU states oppose the mammoth project, and the US claims it would allow Moscow to tighten its grip on the EU's energy policy. Berlin has insisted that the pipeline is a "purely economic" issue. Speaking to Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung daily, Russian ambassador to Berlin, Sergey Nechayev, slammed the US' opposition as an attempt to "push its competition aside" and clear the way for American suppliers of liquefied gas. "It's hard to believe that a country that is destroying the rules of free and fair trade, that is imposing import tariffs on its competition, that is flying slogans like 'America First' on its flags and often threatens biggest European concerns with illegal sanctions, is now really concerned about European interests," the Russian envoy said in remarks published in German on Wednesday. Last week, France unexpectedly rebelled against the project, but Berlin and Paris soon reached a compromise. Thanks to their agreement, the latest deal is not expected to impede the ongoing construction of Nord Stream 2. Citing sources from negotiators' circles, German public broadcaster ARD reported that the deal left room for Germany to approve exceptions from the EU-wide rules. According to the EU Commission, however, exceptions are "only possible under strict procedures in which the Commission plays a decisive role." The Gazprom-backed pipeline is set to be completed by the end of the year. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 5 hours ago on February 18, 2019 By Alex Christoforou The Duran's Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss UK Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson's idea to deploy hard power against China and Russia, starting with plans to send Britain's new aircraft carrier to the tense sea routes in the South China Sea. Remember to Please Subscribe to The Duran's YouTube Channel. Follow The Duran Audio Podcast on Soundcloud. "Britain's Gavin Williamson places Russia & China on notice, I'm not joking," authored by John Wight, via RT… UK Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson is itching for conflict with Russia and China. He's not mad. Not even slightly. But he is stupid. Very. Unlike former fireplace salesman Gavin Williamson, I am no military expert. But then you do not need to be one to understand that while Britain going to war with Russia and China might work as a video game, the real thing would be an exceedingly bad idea. So why then in a speech delivered to the Royal United Services Institute in London, did Mr Williamson's argument on the feasibility of the real thing elicit applause rather than the shrieks of horror and demands he be sacked forthwith it should have? This is a serious question, by the way. It is one that cuts through British establishment verbiage to reveal a country ruled not by the sober and doughty political heavyweights of years gone by, but by foaming fanatics in expensive suits Placing to one side for a moment the insanity of the very concept of Britain deploying hard power against Russia and/or China, the prospect of fighting a war against two designated enemies at the same time is a recipe for disaster. Not satisfied with that, though, Mr Williamson is actually contemplating a conflict with three different enemies at the same time – i.e. against Russia, China, and the millions of people in Britain his government is currently waging war against under the rubric of austerity. "Today, Russia is resurgent," Mr Williamson said, "rebuilding its military arsenal and seeking to bring the independent countries of the former Soviet Union, like Georgia and Ukraine, back into its orbit." For Mr Williamson and his ilk a resurgent Russia is a bad thing. Much better in their eyes if Russia, after the Soviet era in the 1990s, had remained on its knees as a free market desert; its state institutions in a state of near collapse and tens of millions of its citizens in the grip of immiseration. Yes, because in that scenario Western ideologues like him would have had free rein to rampage around the world as they saw fit, setting fire to country after country on the perverse grounds of 'saving them' for democracy. As it is, he and his still managed to squeeze in a considerable amount of carnage and chaos in the years it did take Russia to recover. The indictment reads as follows: Yugoslavia destroyed; Afghanistan turned upside down; Iraq pushed into the abyss; Libya sent to hell. By the time they turned their attention to Syria, intent on exploiting an Arab Spring that NATO in Libya transformed into an Arab Winter, Russia had recovered and was able to intervene. It did so in concert with the Syrian Arab Army, Iran and Hezbollah to save the day – much to the evident chagrin of those who, like Gavin Williamson, prefer to see countries in ashes rather than independent of Western hegemony. As to the facile nonsense about Russia trying to bring Georgia and Ukraine back into its orbit, both countries happen to share a border with Russia and both countries, in recent years, have been used by the UK and its allies as cat's paws with the eastward expansion of NATO in mind. It gets worse though: "The Alliance must develop its ability to handle the kind of provocations that Russia is throwing at us. Such action from Russia must come at a cost." "Provocations," the man said. Since British troops have been taking part in exercises on Russia's doorstep, not the other way round, one wonders if Gavin Williamson wrote this speech while inebriated. It is Russia that has been on the receiving end of repeated provocations from NATO member states such as the UK in recent times, and it is Russia that has been forced to respond to protect its own security and that of its people where necessary. Furthermore, not only in Russia but everywhere, including the UK, people understand that when you have political leaders intoxicated by their own national myths and propaganda to such an extent as Britain's Defence Secretary, danger ensues. The most enduring of those national myths where London is concerned is that the British Empire was a force for good rather than a vast criminal enterprise, that Britain and America won the Second World War together alone, that Iraq had WMDs, and that international law and international brigandage really are one and the same thing. Perhaps the most preposterous section of the speech came when Mr Williamson tried to fashion a connection between Brexit and Britain's military strength: "Brexit has brought us to a moment. A great moment in our history. A moment when we must strengthen our global presence, enhance our lethality, and increase our mass." Reading this, you can almost hear Churchill turning in his grave. Britain's wartime prime minister had such as Gavin Williamson in mind when he famously said, "He has all the virtues I dislike, and none of the vices I admire." Mr Williamson obviously misread the memo talking up not the opportunity for increased conflict with China after Brexit but trade. This was not a speech it was a linguistic car crash, one that will forever command an honoured place in compendiums of the worst political speeches ever made. As for Gavin Williamson, just as no responsible parent would ever dream of putting an 10-year old behind the wheel of car to drive unsupervised, no responsible British government would ever appoint a man like him as its Defence Secretary. In years past, he would have struggled to find employment polishing the brass plate outside the building. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading Latest The Birth Of A Monster The banking establishment welcomed the Fed with open arms. What gives? Published 8 hours ago on February 18, 2019 By The Duran Authored by David Howden via The Mises Institute: The Federal Reserve's doors have been open for "business" for one hundred years. In explaining the creation of this money-making machine (pun intended – the Fed remits nearly $100 bn. in profits each year to Congress) most people fall into one of two camps. Those inclined to view the Fed as a helpful institution, fostering financial stability in a world of error-prone capitalists, explain the creation of the Fed as a natural and healthy outgrowth of the troubled National Banking System. How helpful the Fed has been is questionable at best, and in a recent book edited by Joe Salerno and me — The Fed at One Hundred — various contributors outline many (though by no means all) of the Fed's shortcomings over the past century. Others, mostly those with a skeptical view of the Fed, treat its creation as an exercise in secretive government meddling (as in G. Edward Griffin's The Creature from Jekyll Island) or crony capitalism run amok (as in Murray Rothbard's The Case Against the Fed). In my own chapter in The Fed at One Hundred I find sympathies with both groups (you can download the chapter pdf here). The actual creation of the Fed is a tragically beautiful case study in closed-door Congressional deals and big banking's ultimate victory over the American public. Neither of these facts emerged from nowhere, however. The fateful events that transpired in 1910 on Jekyll Island were the evolutionary outcome of over fifty years of government meddling in money. As such, the Fed is a natural (though terribly unfortunate) outgrowth of an ever more flawed and repressive monetary system. Before the Fed Allow me to give a brief reverse biographical sketch of the events leading up to the creation of a monster in 1914. Unlike many controversial laws and policies of the American government — such as the Affordable Care Act, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or the War on Terror — the Federal Reserve Act passed with very little public outcry. Also strange for an industry effectively cartelized, the banking establishment welcomed the Fed with open arms. What gives? By the early twentieth century, America's banking system was in a shambles. Fractional-reserve banks faced with "runs" (which didn't have to be runs with the pandemonium that usually accompanies them, but rather just banks having insufficient cash to meet daily withdrawal requests) frequently suspended cash redemptions or issued claims to "clearinghouse certificates." These certificates were a money substitute making use of the whole banking system's reserves held by large clearinghouses. Both of these "solutions" to the common bank run were illegal as they allowed a bank to redefine the terms of the original deposit contract. This fact notwithstanding, the US government turned a blind eye as the alternative (widespread bank failures) was perceived to be far worse. The creation of the Fed, the ensuing centralization of reserves, and the creation of a more elastic money supply was welcomed by the government as a way to eliminate those pesky and illegal (yet permitted) banking activities of redemption suspensions and the issuance of clearinghouse certificates. The Fed returned legitimacy to the laws of the land. That is, it addressed the government's fear that non-enforcement of a law would raise broader questions about the general rule of law. The Fed provided a quick fix to depositors by reducing cases of suspensions of their accounts. And the banking industry saw the Fed as a way to serve clients better without incurring a cost (fewer bank runs) and at the same time coordinate their activities to expand credit in unison and maximize their own profits. In short, the Federal Reserve Act had a solution for everyone. Taking a central role in this story are the private clearinghouses which provided for many of the Fed's roles before 1914. Indeed, America's private clearinghouses were viewed as having as many powers as European central banks of the day, and the creation of the Fed was really just an effort to make the illegal practices of the clearinghouses legal by government institutionalization. Why Did Clearinghouses Have So Much Power? Throughout the late nineteenth century, clearinghouses used each new banking crisis to introduce a new type of policy, bringing them ever closer in appearance to a central bank. I wouldn't go so far as to say these are examples of power grabs by the clearinghouses, but rather rational responses to fundamental problems in a troubled American banking system. When bank runs occurred, the clearinghouse certificate came into use, first in 1857, but confined to the interbank market to economize on reserves. Transactions could be cleared in specie, but lacking sufficient reserves, a troubled bank could make use of the certificates. These certificates were jointly guaranteed by all banks in the clearinghouse system through their pooled reserves. This joint guarantee was welcomed by unstable banks with poor reserve positions, and imposed a cost on more prudently managed banks (as is the case today with deposit insurance). A prudent bank could complain, but if it wanted to use a clearinghouse's services and reap the cost advantages it had to comply with the reserve-pooling policy. As the magnitude of the banking crisis intensified, clearinghouses started permitting banks to issue the certificates directly to the public (starting with the Panic of 1873) to further stymie reserve drains. (These issues to the general public amounted to illegal money substitutes, though they were tolerated, as noted above.) Fractional-Reserve Free Banking and Bust The year 1857 is a somewhat strange one for these clearinghouse certificates to make their first appearance. It was, after all, a full twenty years into America's experiment with fractional-reserve free banking. This banking system was able to function stably, especially compared to more regulated periods or central banking regimes. However, the dislocation between deposit and lending activities set in motion a credit-fueled boom that culminated in the Panic of 1857. This boom and panic has all the makings of an Austrian business cycle. Banks overextended themselves to finance the booming industries during America's westward advance, primarily the railways. Land speculation was rampant. As realized profits came in under expectations, investors got skittish and withdrew money from banks. Troubled banks turned to the recently established New York Clearing House to promote stability. Certain rights were voluntarily abrogated in return for a guarantee on their solvency. The original sin of the free-banking period was its fractional-reserve foundation. Without the ability to fund lending activity with their deposit base, banks never would have financed the boom to the extent that it became a destabilizing factor. Westward expansion and investment would still have occurred, though it would have occurred in a sustainable way funded through equity investments and loans. (These types of financing were used, though as is the case today, this occurred less than would be the case given the fractional-reserve banking system's essentially cost-free funding source: the deposit base.) In conclusion, the Fed was not birthed from nothing in 1913. The monster was the natural outgrowth of an increasingly troubled banking system. In searching for the original problem that set in motion the events culminating in the creation of the Fed, one must draw attention to the Panic of 1857 as the spark that set in motion ever more destabilizing policies. The Panic itself is a textbook example of an Austrian business cycle, caused by the lending activities of fractional-reserve banks. This original sin of the banking system concluded with the birth of a monster in 1914: The Federal Reserve. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

As I work on my novel about the English family, my ongoing brick wall hasn't been so much about genealogy, but in learning about Ireland. I want to include those little historic details that give the reader a sense of time and place. I've found plenty of references about war and battles and even the persecutions of Quakers, but there seems to be a dearth of information about Irish daily life in the 17th century.
I tried using English social history, especially since my real-life characters were English settlers. I started with Marjorie and C.H.B. Quennell's A History of Everyday Things in England. It's a great resource and I used it to picture what Dinah English and John Clibborn would wear. Other topics, however, are jumbled about rather randomly and I'm never quite sure which would have carried over to the neighboring country.
Quakers journals of the time dealt more with spiritual things than physical. English diaries, like that of the famous Samuel Pepys, reflect an extravagant Restoration England that would have been rejected by Quakers, who strove for lives of simplicity.
I recently had a breakthrough — last month I found Irish Life in the Seventeenth Century, by Edward MacLysaght, through intralibrary loan. Pictures are few, but details abound! For example, the English settlers wore "breeches" (snug at the knee in Quennell's drawings) and the Irish wore "trousers," which were looser garments of similar length. One of the appendices (part of which is in Gaelic, but Dr. MacLysaght condescends to summarize a little for us) tells that poorer Irish men often didn't wear a shirt, just a waistcoat with bare arms under their cloaks. Exactly the little tidbits I've been looking for!
Fascinating as it is, Irish Life is not a quick read, and I had to send the plain blue hardback to its home library. I found a 1979 paperback online, with people in 17th-century costume on the front (remember the lack of pictures?), so I ordered it.
My copy arrived yesterday (yay!), sans appendices, notes and bibliography (boo!). Apparently the author, 91 at the time, (and perhaps his publisher) thought fit to cut 150 pages from "this popular edition." Ouch. Looks like I'll have to save up to buy an older copy.
I've been blessed recently with an outcrop of websites and blog posts to help with 17th- and 18th-century research. I plan to gather some of these resources into a subpage on this website. Meanwhile, here are my top finds for May:
1. A map and clothing from 1610 Ireland, at Irish Historical Textiles (contains the picture on the cover of my newly acquired paperback).
2. The Books of Survey and Distribution
list names and show how land changed hands from Catholic to Protestant
owners in Cromwellian and Restoration (mid-17th century) Ireland.
3. Popular books in the 18th century — a handy list by Roseanna M. White at Colonial Quills.
4. Did 18th-century women tie their apron strings in the front or the back?
5. What basic skills would an 18th-century outdoorsman or traveling colonist need to know? Keith Burgess tells us at A Woodrunner's Diary.
6. The author of Vintage Visions wears 18th-century finery.
And in a different century:
7. Last month 425 years ago, three ships carrying men, women and children
departed English waters to start a new life in Carolina. They would
become known as the Lost Colony.

Almost every traveler like me knows about Ireland thoroughly. But after reading your article, I got interested to know that how was it looking like in the 17th century. I think that in those times, the beauty of Ireland was more beautiful than today because in those times there was no global warming. I like your post, it is pretty much interesting.

Endless Fall
The large ridge--high pressure areas--over the eastern Pacific/west coast--stays in place at least to the weekend. So today through Friday will be dry. We have some weak systems coming through this weekend...but they look weaker and weaker as we approach...and mainly influence the northern part of the State. Then another ridge builds next week..in contrast to the storm seen in earlier long-range forecasts. This ridge, for some reason, is amazingly persistent.
We have had lots of fog..which is not surprising. The nights are long...allowing air temps to cool to saturation. The lower atmosphere is fairly moist due to earlier rains. And the lack of middle/high clouds allow good radiational cooling to space. Plus, the sun's rays are too weak to effectively warm up the surface and cause this cool, moist layer to mix out. So better get to like this foggy stuff..you will see more of it.

Hi Cliff,
I heard you on KUOW this morning when someone asked about the sun's rays in the sky apparently coming from directly opposite the sun's position. These are anticrepuscular rays, and are described in detail at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticrepuscular_ray
Best regards,

Cliff...in your opinion would this then indicate "El Nino" - like Winter conditions?
In the past (based on memory, which could be shotty)...when we have had dry and mild Decembers...we have had a "wild-ride" in terms of snow in late January through February.
Of course one may not even mean the other I am sure :)

alt: sanborn maps ? yes.. they plot the neighborhood with lot sizes and shapes and an number the houses by street.
di: i never used it. i came across it browsing the internet. do i need the address from the directory or is there another way to identify where family could have been
statustray: hmmm... interesting indeed.... i wasn't aware of this
alt: Sanbornmaps don't neccessarily identify lots by family names.... ownership and residency's change over time, but the lot size and shape most often do not. di, if in a city, don't census records usually list the street name in the margin of the page and they have the street number as a column entry on the census page.
di: understood. i only have one area in my searching locations that the map is available for. i was looking to maybe match family from census and directory. most of my family has been in rural areas to my knowledge so i have not noticed street names in the margin
alt: am I talking too much?
di: not for me....
daviss: me either because I am learning
statustray: me too!
alt: often in the margin they will have a county road name name and the later years the house number is the RFD number.

The filming of TV dramas and reality shows in Los Angeles plummeted in 2012, according to figures released Tuesday by FilmL.A., the non-profit agency that coordinates location shoots in the region.
TV drama shoots were off by 20 percent from 2011, while the filming of reality shows dropped by 11.8 percent. Those numbers overshadowed the report's good news on overall location shooting, movie production and commercial filming, all of which were up from the previous year.
The TV drama number is critical to the overall health of local filming, because those shows — mainly hour-long, high-end and multiple episodes — employ more people and bring more economic benefits than other types of productions. A typical 22-episode-a-year network series has a budget of $60 million and generates 840 direct and indirect jobs, according to the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp.
The numbers confirm what many had feared since a midyear FilmL.A. report indicated that L.A. was losing its grip on this critical production sector.
Also read: L.A. Still Losing Drama Pilots to Other Cities
Of 23 TV drama pilots launched last year, just two were based in L.A., with the rest being shot in Canada, and other U.S. states including New York and North Carolina.
The TV drama figures clouded the otherwise positive report. Paced by upticks in feature film and commercial shoots, overall on-location production in 2012 rose 4.7 percent from the previous year, to its highest level since 2008.
FilmLA measures filming activity by permitted production days. Last year there were 46,254, compared to 45,484 in the previous year.
Overall TV production was dragged down by the drama and reality losses, falling 3.4 percent for the year (16,762 PPD in 2012 vs.17,349 in 2011). It would have been worse, but for a surge in sitcom production that powered an 11.9 percent fourth quarter increase.
Also read: With TV and Film Production Heading Overseas, Should Uncle Sam Get Into Showbiz?
L.A. still dominates in terms of sitcom production, but those are mainly half-hour shows shot primarily on soundstages. Comedy pilots employ fewer people and cost about $2 million to produce, compared to $5.5 million for drama pilots, the agency said.
"We know that part of the decline in our TV drama figures stems from producers' desire to cut costs by filming more on studio back-lots and soundstages," said FilmLA president Paul Audley. "Unfortunately, last year we also saw a record number of new TV drama series shot out of state, resulting in negative economic consequences."
On-location movie production increased 3.7 percent for the year (5,892 PPD in 2012 vs. 5,682 PPD in 2011). This was the category's best year since 2008, the year before feature production declined precipitously and state lawmakers enacted the California Film & Television Tax Credit Program.
The Warner Bros.' movie "Gangster Squad," which qualified for the state tax credit, provided a bright spot for the program. The film, which opens Friday, was shot entirely in the city of Los Angeles and prominently features a number of local landmarks including City Hall and Union Station.
Also read: It's D-Day for California TV, Film Tax Credits: But How Essential Are They?
It reversed a trend that had seen L.A.-set period films "Hollywoodland" and "Black Dahlia" go elsewhere to film. Those 2006 movies shot some exteriors in Los Angeles, but "Hollywoodland" was produced mainly in Toronto and "The Black Dahlia" was filmed in Bulgaria.
In all, projects that qualified for the state tax credit accounted for 5.9 percent of the total movie shoots last year. Among the films that were shot utilizing the program were "10 Things I Hate About Life," "Baggage Claim," "The Bling Ring," "Dark Skies," "The Hive," "Jesus in Cowboy Boots," "Look of Love," and "Plush."
Other projects driving a significant amount of location filming in the L.A..area in 2012 included "Bad Words" and "Star Trek Into Darkness" from director J.J. Abrams.
"Last year saw our industry rocked by dramatic changes in the local production landscape," Audley said. "If we seek a more secure future for filming in Los Angeles, we must continue to innovate and expand upon the programs proven to attract new projects to California."
Lawmakers last year voted to extend the program, which has been over-subscribed and provides lesser breaks than several competing states, through the 2016-17 fiscal year. New York in particular has become a major lure for producers, having added post-production tax credits last year, on top of filming incentives.
The tax credit plan isn't much help when it comes to keeping network TV dramas in California. When the program was launched in 2009, the focus was on retaining basic cable TV shows, which were exiting for other states, and network shows aren't eligible for the breaks.
Commercials production was another bright spot. Commercial shoots increased 14.1 percent for the year (8,078 PPD in 2012 vs. 7,079 in 2011), driven in part by a surge in the number of locally produced Internet commercial projects. Their production accounted for 7.9 percent of the commercials total, well up from the 1.7 percent web-based commercials generated when FilmL.A. first began tracking them in 2008.
Roughly 585,850 jobs directly or indirectly tied to the entertainment industry brought in $43.3 billion in labor income in 2011, according to the most recent figures from the Los Angeles County Economic Development Commission. That's equivalent to 17.6 percent of L.A. County's 3.3 million jobs. The industry generated $5.6 billion in state and local taxes that year.

Pollinators are essential for orchard, horticultural and forage production, as well as the production of seed for many root and fibre crops. Nonetheless, mounting evidence points to a potentially serious decline in populations of pollinators under agricultural development. The Rapid Assessment of Pollinators' Status was compiled and prepared by FAO as a contribution to the implementation of the International Initiative for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Pollinators. Its aim is to address the issue of declining pollinator populations around the globe, using case studies and technical reports collected from around the world. The rapid assessment includes chapters on: (i) Monitoring the status and trends of pollinators; (ii) Economic valuation of pollination services; (iii) The taxonomic impediment to pollinator conservation; (iv) State of ecological knowledge of pollination services; (v) Indigenous knowledge of pollination; (vi) Promotion of pollinator-friendly practices; (vii) Capacity building in conservation and management of pollination services; and (viii) Mainstreaming conservation and management of pollination services.

Nice shot. I love sea lions and would love to see them in person.
What a perfect subject for the theme and great shots. Sea lions are amazing to me. It's hard to see how they lift themselves out of the water. Happy weekend.
What beauties! Absolutely perfect for the theme!
oh yeah that is bulky alright. what a great take on the theme.
come and visit my entry which i posted in my other blog.
I remember reading that they no longer flock to Fisherman's Wharf in San Fransisco. Have you heard that too?
I love sea lions. Good take on the theme!
Happy Weekend!
Great idea for the theme :-)
Hope you have a great weekend.
Good choice, jmb! Have pictures of sea lions from a visit to the wonderful Osaka Aquarium but didn't think to use them... a good thing too as this way, you and I have very different takes on the theme! :)
These sea lions are wild? Not in captivity? Awesome!
Perfect! A wonderful shot.
they're definitely bulky, and cute, too!:p
i have seen sea lions at SFo's Fishermans' Wharf sunning themselves.
love your bulky subjects! they look so relaxed... :)
Happy New Year JMB!!!
With their bulky figures, they sure can swim well too. Nice shot JMB :)
I hope they have their sunscreen on!
I heard on the news the ones in SanFrancisco had moved in that last few weeks to follow the fish stocks.
That's a wonderful shot.

Fleshlight Ice is available with the exclusive Crystal inner texture which has been designed to stimulate your penis with distinctive sensations all throughout. As you explore the Fleshlight Ice you'll begin to appreciate the subtle muances each uniquely chiseled pleasure chamber has to offer.
Just the Way you like it - Choose between the Lady, Mouth, or Butt orifices to make your ideal visual fantasy complete. Your Fleshlight Ice purchase includes one Fleshlight Ie Sleeve with the exclusive Crystal Texture, and on Clear Fleshlight outer case.
What Comes With This Product?
- Orifice: Lady (Vaginia)
- Case: Ice Case (Clear) Included
- Sleeve Color Ice (Clear)
- Sample Lube Pillow-Pack. (good for one use)
- Canal Diameter: Varies
- Canal Texture: Crystal
- Length: 10 inches
- Diameter: 4 inches to 2.5 inches
How do I use the Fleshlight?
Warm your Fleshlight Sleeve by removing it from the case and running warm water through the sleeve for about 5 minutes. Do NOT boil or microwave your sleeve! Shake off the water and re-insert the sleeve into the Fleshlight Case, adjust the tightness of the cap at the bottom to control the suction, and finish by applying a liberal amount of Lubricant to the orifice and yourself. If the Fleshlight still feels too cold to you, then next time try warming the lube in the sink/tub at the same time as the sleeve. Your Fleshlight product is now ready for use.
What is the best way to clean my Fleshlight product after use?
Simply rinse your removable Fleshlight Sleeve with warm water from your sink and allow time for it to dry before storing. Do NOT use soap to clean your SuperSkin Sleeve. For tough cleaning, we suggest using our Fleshwash, specifically formulated to clean our sleeves. To maintain that soft feel, sprinkle a liberal amount of Fleshlight Renewing Powder on the sleeve and shake off the excess powder. We do NOT recommend the use of talcum or baby powder. NOTE: Powdering an Ice Fleshlight masturbation sleeve with anything other than Fleshlight Renewing Powder or corn starch will cause it to cloud over and lose its clear "ice" quality.
Can I use my Fleshlight products in the shower/tub?
Yes, you can use the Fleshlight in the shower/tub. In fact, we offer the Fleshlight Shower Mount to make your experience even more enjoyable. While there is no problem with soaking the Fleshlight sleeve in water, make sure soap does not come in contact with the removable masturbation sleeve. The soap may damage your Fleshlight sleeve.
Is this product built to last?
Our soft, pliable, non-vibrating Real Feel Super Skin® sleeve is made from a patented, high-quality material designed to replicate the sensation of penetrative sex. The molded sleeve comes housed in an attractive and sturdy canister that resembles an ordinary flashlight, allowing for simple and discreet storage. It's easy to use and clean, and is 100 percent safe. With proper usage your Fleshlight will give you a lifetime of enjoyment!

Translations: English - Français - Italiano
Aptitude is an Ncurses based FrontEnd to Apt, the debian package manager. Since it is text based, it is run from a terminal or a CLI (command line interface). Aptitude has a number of useful features, including:
- a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible manner
mark packages as "automatically installed" or "manually installed" so that packages can be auto-removed when no longer required
- colorful preview of actions about to be taken
- dselect-like persistence of user actions
- the ability to retrieve and display the Debian changelog of most packages
AptCLI-like (= apt-get + apt-cache) command line mode ("aptitude install foo")
- Score-based and (usually) smarter dependency resolver than apt-get
aptitude is also non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and housebroken. It does not, however, have Super Cow Powers, meaning that it does not implement the moo operation, verbosely or otherwise.
Enter the following from a terminal:
After running it, use:
- F10 to access the menu and use aptitude. This is the main key.
- ? for help
- The 'up', 'down', 'left', 'right' keys to navigate.
- The 'Enter' key to select
- The '+' or '-' key to install/update or remove a package
- The 'g' key to preview/confirm actions
- 'q' to quit – this also closes the currently open window ('g' goes forward, 'q' goes back)
The common use of aptitude in TUI (text user interface) is; run aptitude; press 'u' (update the lists of available packages); press 'U' (Mark all upgradable packages to be upgraded); (search/select some stuff to install, is optional); press 'g' (to see the pending actions and modify if needed); press 'g' (again, to start the download).
Some time when you need to resolve conflicts, you discover that you made a mistake; you can easily use 'Cancel pending actions' in the 'Actions' menu so that you can re-select.
You can also use aptitude like in the same manner as apt-get:
Update the packages list:
aptitude update
Upgrade the packages:
aptitude upgrade
Install foo:
aptitude install foo
Remove bar:
aptitude remove bar
Purge foo:
aptitude purge foo
Personally, I still use apt-cache search foo to perform a search – aptitude search foo is slower. But you should try the aptitude search foo way. You should discover that the output is a bit different from apt-cache, in some case, it may be useful to search for a package to see if it is already installed.
The manual of aptitude is really a gold mine. I don't want to duplicate this useful informations so please take a look there for further help.
How to upgrade your distribution
Reading and following the instructions found in the release notes when upgrading to a new major release is strongly recommended. Once upon a time using 'dist-upgrade' as described below was feasible. It is no longer the recommended practice (unless you are running sid, in which case you should not need to be reading this.) Likewise dist-upgrade is not necessary for minor release upgrades (e.g. from lenny 5.0.1 to 5.0.2).
- Find out current version of Debian that you are running:
cat /etc/debian_version

2005 Jeep Liberty ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Rugged, outdoorsy alternative to the urban cute-ute.
The Jeep Liberty offers a good balance for someone who enjoys the outdoors. Day in and day out, it takes the place of a car or wagon. The Liberty seats four comfortably and can carry up to five people and their gear. Fold the rear seats and it can move two people and some serious cargo. Turn off the pavement and it's able to negotiate most trails with confidence.
True to Jeep heritage, the Liberty offers legitimate off-road capability. In this respect, it stands apart from the herd of compact sport-utility vehicles, few of which offer true off-road capability. The Liberty gives up some refinement and road agility to do this. On the road, it does not ride or handle as well as some of the other small SUVs. But the Liberty is among the best of the small sport-utilities for drivers who need serious off-road capability on the weekend yet need practicality and affordability during the week.
For 2005, the Liberty gets a new engine and two new transmissions. With the addition of an advanced, 2.7-liter common-rail diesel engine, Jeep becomes the first midsize SUV available with a diesel engine in the U.S. The Diesel is backed by a five-speed overdrive automatic transmission. A new, six-speed manual transmission replaces the previous five-speed manual.
The Liberty Renegade has seen the most change for 2005, having been fitted with a flatter hood, taller grille, off-road foglamps and taillamp guards. The Renegade now has functional rock rails, four skid plates, and new options, such as taller P235/0R16 all-terrain tires, a GPS navigation radio and an overhead light bar.
The fresher appearance extends across all 2005 models. All receive a new front fascia, grille, foglamps fender flares, and body side-moldings. Interior refinements include relocated power window switches, new instrument panel cluster graphics, and improved seat comfort.
The 2005 Jeep Liberty is available in three trim levels: Sport, Limited Edition, and Renegade. Each is offered with two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive (4WD).
Three engines are available: a 2.4-liter inline-4, the 2.8-liter turbo diesel, and a 3.7-liter V6. The new diesel engine is available on both Sport and Limited models. The four-cylinder engine is only available with a six-speed manual gearbox. The V6 is available with a heavy-duty five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic that was revised last year for smoother, quieter operation. A five-speed automatic is standard on the diesel.
Sport ($19,190) and Sport 4WD ($20,700) are entry-level models, but receive visual changes for 2005 that add the look of custom details. Both Sport and Sport 4WD come standard with the four-cylinder engine, six-speed manual transmission, cloth interior, wind-up windows, manually operated mirrors, and 16-inch tires on steel wheels. Command Trac, a part-time 4WD system, is standard, as is a six-speaker stereo with CD player. Air conditioning ($850) is optional, however. Power windows and other features can be added as options. The optional V6 is available with manual transmission ($850) or an automatic ($1,675). The Common Rail Diesel, or CRD, is available for the Sport 4x4 ($24,515).
Limited Edition models offer upgraded interior amenties and a better grade of cloth upholstery. Limited ($23,525) and Limited 4WD ($25,035) come standard with the V6 engine and automatic transmission. Air conditioning is standard. Limited 4x4 is available with the diesel engine ($26,734).
Leather is available as part of a big Customer Preferred option package ($1,576) that also includes a programmable overhead console, power seat adjusters, deep-tint glass, power heated side mirrors, a security group, and an AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo with steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and Infinity speakers.
On 4WD Limited models, the same package ($1,690) includes Jeep's SelecTrac full-time four-wheel drive. The diesel version includes a bigger battery, P225/75 tires, 6x7-inch aluminum wheels, four-wheel antilock brakes, and an engine block heater. Other options include the Trailer Tow Group ($285), a Trac-Loc locking rear differential ($285), power sunroof ($700) and Sirius satellite digital radio ($195). While the tire pressure monitor and simple warning signal are standard, a roof-mounted tire pressure display, which shows the actual pressure at each wheel, is optional ($75).
Renegade 2WD ($22,910) and 4WD ($24,520) models come standard with the 3.7-liter V6, six-speed manual transmission and Command-trac part-time 4WD system. Renegade comes standard with air conditioning; cruise control; tilt steering; 16-inch graphite-painted aluminum wheels; power windows, mirrors, and locks; illuminated keyless entry; side rails; and many other features. Renegade 4WD models include rugged tubular side rails and rock rails. Automatic transmission ($825) is optional. A premium package ($1,240) adds the automatic, power leather seats, and upgraded door trim panels, along with an overhead vehicle information center that allows the customer to program automatic locking, lighting, and other features.
Side-impact airbags ($490) are optional on all Liberty models, and we highly recommend them. Serious 4WD adventurers may want the optional Off-Road Group ($765 for Sport, $520 for Limited), which includes skid plates for the front suspension, fuel tank and transfer case; a locking rear differential; heavy-duty engine cooling; P235/70R16 all-terrain tires; and tow hooks.
With its seven-slat grille and round headlights, there's no question the Liberty looks like a Jeep.
The Liberty's body is tall, providing the driver with a commanding view of the terrain ahead. In terms of exterior dimensions, the Liberty fits between the Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee. With an overall length of 174.4 inches, the Jeep Liberty is slightly longer than the Ford Escape. It's longer than the Wrangler, but significantly shorter and lighter than the Grand Cherokee.
2005 Liberty Sport models get a new body-color grille, provisions for optional fog lamps, and higher turn lamp locations for more protection from road debris. The front bumper runs across the bottom of the grill with a twin-tube design.
Renegade appeals to a slightly different type of buyer than the basic Sport and more sophisticated Limited models. A flatter hood complements the traditional round Jeep headlimps for a distinctive Jeep appearance. A new body-color grille is part of the re-styling for 2005, as are large freestanding fog lamps with black bezels, and a new sill to protect the body sides from road blast. Tow hooks and a bright silver metallic applique across the new molded-in color front fascia are standard features. Bolted flares are also molded-in color for more durability and have chrome-plated attachment details. A new luggage side rack with beefieer molded-in color end pieces, and a brushed silver metallic tubular side rail combine to suggest a rugged appearance. The black off-road light bar, standard in prior years, is now an optional feature. Fender flares, combined with the off-road light bar and taillamp guards give the Renegade a look that stands apart from the Sport and Limited models.
A neat feature on all models: Yanking hard on the outside door handle causes the glass hatch to swing up as the door itself is swinging out, which saves time and effort. Pulling on the handle with less force causes just the glass hatch to swing up. Also, the door swings open from the right, better for curbside pickups at the airport.
The Jeep Liberty debuted as a 2002 model. 2003 brought enhancements aimed at improving on-road stability. 2004 brought upgrades in safety equipment, and in comfort and convenience options. Among them: Chrysler's Enhanced Accident Response System, which unlocks doors and turns on interior lights five seconds after an airbag deploys.
The Jeep Liberty comes with a roomy interior that can accommodate five passengers and a generous amount of cargo, with 29 cubic feet of usable space behind the second row of seats. Sitting in the Liberty gives the driver a sense of spaciousness with 40.7 inches of headroom, best in class, according to Jeep. Door panels are scalloped out for elbow rests, and a grab handle is provided on the passenger's side of the dash. Sit in the Liberty, and the first thing you'll likely notice is that it feels tall in the saddle.
The seats have been an issue in past models. Sport seats we tried in '04 felt firm in the middle, but the side bolsters were too mushy to provide much side support. For '05, they have been noticeably improved through the use of dual-density foam. Also, there's no seat-height adjustment. The side bolsters are still soft, a signal that the Liberty is set up more to absorb vibration than sling around corners. The cloth upholstery, with a diamond-plate inspired fabric, feels like it'll hold up well. The Renegade front seats are tailored with unique cloth center panels and vinyl bolsters. The front seats in the Limited are more comfortable. They are chair-like buckets, softer and more contoured than the seats in the Ford Escape.
Getting in and out of the Liberty is more difficult than it is in some of the more carlike SUVs. The door openings are relatively narrow, the step-up height is a little higher, the seats have side bolsters to get past, and your feet must clear relatively high side sills. The grab handle, located on the A-pillar above the steering wheel, is not in the perfect position to help shorter people swing inside.
The Liberty's rear seats are comfortable, capable of holding three people. Two adults should be happy here. There is even more rear headroom than in the front, and lots of space to slide your feet under the front seats, but knee room is limited. Sliding out of the back seat requires a bit of a stretch down, and your legs drag across the fender. So be sure to clean that area before sending any well-dressed guests back there.
The Liberty offers a generous amount of cargo space behind the rear seats. Caesar the 160-pound mastiff was happy to ride behind the rear seats. Two full-size garbage cans fit side-by-side back there, a feat we haven't seen duplicated in many SUVs. Grocery-bag hooks and cargo tie-downs are provided to keep things from rolling around. An optional cargo organizer opens to a shelf with compartment dividers to keep packages in place, and can be folded flat when not in use.
Fold the rear seats down and the Liberty offers a lot of cargo space (69.0 cubic feet), virtually the same as the Escape offers. Dropping the split rear seat is a one-hand operation in the Liberty; the rear seat bottom stays in place. The cargo floor isn't perfectly flat when the rear seats are folded down, however, and that's our biggest gripe with this vehicle. Nor are the rear seats readily removable as they are in the RAV4. Also, removing the rear headrests requires pressing two buttons at once to release them.
Overall, the interior presents a round motif that looks contemporary, with round door handles, round instruments, round air inlets, a round horn pad. Textures and finishes are nicely done. Big gauges use black-on-beige graphics. The Limited adds attractive satin chrome highlights to the instrument panel and doors. We felt the interior on the Limited was nicely designed and executed with qualilty materials. The Renegade gets real brushed aluminum highlights on the instrument panel that give it a machined look consistent with the exterior theme.
The manual shifter is on the tall side, but works well. The available leather-wrapped steering wheel is comfortable and features well-designed cruise controls.
The accessory controls work well and intuitively. The power window switches are located on the center console, however, more awkward tha.
Driving Impression
The 3.7-liter V6 works well with the automatic transmission, delivering good reponse. The V6 is rated at 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy is EPA-rated 16/22 City/Highway mpg with the manual, 17/21 mpg with the automatic.
The 2.4-liter twin-cam four-cylinder engine comes standard on the Sport model, and is only available with the five-speed manual gearbox. We found the four-cylinder with manual transmission to be a smooth combination, though we suspect it may struggle at higher elevations. Besides the lower initial cost, the 150-horsepower four-cylinder gets 20/24 mpg.
We've also had the opportunity to drive a 2005 Liberty with the new 2.7 Turbo diesel. The engine is surprisingly satisfying, combining the horsepower of a V6 (160) with the torque of a V8 (295 pound-feet) and the mileage of a four-cylinder. During a recent week of testing, we averaged about 21 mpg, including a fair amount of time offroad in low range. On the highway, the diesel Liberty becomes an easy cruiser, showing just 2000 rpm on the tach at 70 mph. Our highway mileage was close to 24 mpg, some 30 percent better than the gas V6. The Diesel is rated to tow up to 5000 pounds with the optional hitch.
The new diesel seems to suffer few of the tradeoffs associated with oil-burning engines of the past. There is practically no smoke, and very little noise or vibration. The technology is European, with a very high pressure fuel injection system that burns much more cleanly than earlier designs. There is no warm-up period before starting, because the glowplugs are electronicaly controlled. The turbocharger is an advanced design with variable-geometry vanes that delivers significant induction improvements at both low rpm and high rpm, and at high altitudes.
The Diesel gets the stronger five-speed electronic automatic, which benefits from advanced logic. The transmission, depending on throttle input, can deliver two separate second-gear ratios, a lower ratio for quicker acceleration, a taller one for smooth downshifts.
The Liberty doesn't ride as smoothly on the road as a Ford Escape, particularly over bumps and other irregularities where it bobbles a bit. Nor does it handle as well as the more car-like SUVs. Steering effort is relatively easy at low speeds for a 4x4, nice when parking. On the road, the steering is reasonably on-center, a benefit of its power-assisted rack-and-pinion design. But the long-travel off-road suspension, set up to absorb impact without being overly harsh, makes for lethargic transient response in lane-change maneuvers. That said, the Liberty rides reasonably well for a short-wheelbase 4x4. It doesn't beat the driver up as much as a Jeep Wrangler does. The wider tires of the Limited and Renegade models seem to offer more stability than the narrower tires of the Sport. We've found the Liberty handles winding Virginia backroads well and feels fine on the crowded freeways around Los Angeles.
We've found the Liberty capable of handling fairly gnarly trails. We've crossed steep ditches and gullies, where its short front and rear overhangs paid off. Its tight turning radius is helpful where space is limited, something we discovered while weaving through a stand of tightly spaced trees. We clambered over big rocks and fallen trees and slowly forded boulder-strewn creeks with 18 inches of rushing water. (Jeep says it can handle 20 inches at 10 mph.) Its traction up steep, muddy banks was impressive, with no wheelspin.
Keep in mind, however, that the Liberty is limited by just 6.4 inches of front ground clearance, about the same as a Subaru. Rocks will contact the skid plates, a sound we experienced although we suspect no harm was being done. Another aspect serious trailblazers should note is that the Liberty platform is less upgradeable than Jeep's other 4x4s, such as the Wrangler or Grand Cherokee. However, a locking rear differential is available as a factory.
Jeep Liberty strikes a balance between off-road capability and on-road sophistication. It's a good choice for drivers who like to venture into the backcountry, but need comfort and practicality in a daily driver. A higher degree of off-highway capability separates the Liberty from other small SUVs. Though less agile on the road than the so-called cute-utes, the Liberty is superior once you leave the pavement.

Much of the pre-series buzz is about sending a message to the Philadelphia Phillies. Nice hype, but I'm not buying. Even should the Mets sweep the Phillies this week, what message could they possibly send to a team that has reached the playoffs the last three years, including the World Series twice?
By most accounts, the Phillies – even with Chase Utley and Brad Lidge shelved – remain the class of the NL East and are well aware of the annoyance they call the Mets. It's usually electric when the teams play, but the Phillies are the superior team and they know it.
What's important to the Mets is they don't believe it, even though that has been the prevailing feeling in the clubhouse when they compare themselves to Philly. With a good series, the only message the Mets would be sending is to themselves, and the best way to start is to not get ahead of themselves by making more of this series than it really is.
"As far as I'm concerned it's Game Four," David Wright said. "It's obviously a very, very good team. I think it's a challenge. I don't think either team is out to necessarily prove anything this early in the season. But it would be nice to go in there and win a series."
A competitive series would also help in setting the stage for the home opener this Friday. If the Mets get waxed it won't make for a festive mood this weekend.
Chris Young gets the ball tonight for the Mets. Young threw well during spring training,but coming off a shoulder injury and signed for a bargain basement price, the Mets don't know what to expect from him.
Young, who hasn't started 30 games in a season since, 2007, threw 25.1 pain-free innings while compiling a 1.78 ERA in spring training.
"I feel good," Young told reporters in Florida, where the Mets opened their season by winning two of three from the Marlins. "I've made some good strides. I think my arm strength's increased, breaking ball's gotten sharper, command's better. It was a good spring training."
But, will it be a good year? That's one of the Mets' significant questions.

Review: Apple TV (Third-Generation)
Company: Apple Inc.
Website: www.Apple.com
Model: Apple TV
Price: $99
Compatible: PC/Mac
Pros: A modestly updated version of the award-winning second-generation Apple TV, now featuring 1080p video support and a new Apple A5 processor inside the 2010 model's black plastic enclosure. Runs the latest, improved 5.0 version of Apple TV software, offering excellent video streaming and AirPlay mirroring options. Continues to include Apple's aluminum Remote control, and support for iOS Wi-Fi Remote software. Previous versions received considerable post-release software updates to improve features.
Cons: The new model's signature feature—1080p support—is not properly implemented on the iTunes Store side, obscuring 1080p options from customers, and offering relatively few movies to even U.S. customers; international 1080p options are considerably more limited. No communicated upcoming support for 1080p screen mirroring from iOS devices, though 1080p streaming is otherwise supported. Despite software-side improvements, remote control options and menus remain in need of additional fine-tuning and design enhancements.
Apple's third-generation Apple TV ($99) is the least hyped member of an increasingly important family of products—one that was damaged by a large but inauspicious launch in 2007, later benefitting from iterative improvements scattered across numerous software updates. Though the first-generation Apple TV remained on store shelves for roughly three years, longer than any iPod or iPhone save the ignored iPod classic, its longevity was less a statement of its popularity than its "hobby" status within a surging company. While Apple focused on improving the iPhone and creating the iPad, it left the Apple TV hardware virtually untouched, debuting its fourth major design of Apple TV software alongside an entirely redesigned $99 second-generation Apple TV in late 2010. A year and a half later, Apple updated the second-generation model's software to 5.0, and released a barely updated third-generation device—one that's nearly indistinguishable from its predecessor.
The new Apple TV retains the same price, runs the same build of the same version 5.0 software, and for the time being offers literally nothing in the way of surprises: even by Apple's iterative standards, the third-generation Apple TV looks and feels like a very modest upgrade. From the outside, the new model is nearly identical to its predecessor, made from the same combination of black plastic and rubber, tethered to a wall power outlet with the same included black cable, and bearing the same aluminum six-button remote control Apple released in late 2009. Inside, the third-generation model has received deliberately limited tweaks: a different processor, partial support for 1080p video streaming, and… well, that's it. If you already have a second-generation Apple TV, everything else is the same.
Since we've already covered the Apple TV's 5.0 software extensively, and so little has changed with the third-generation model's hardware, this review is effectively an update to our comprehensive review of the second-generation model. But that's not to say that the third-generation model is a complete snooze. As we said when selecting our Best Accessory of 2011 Award, the software-updated Apple TV was last year's single most important iPod, iPhone, and iPad accessory, so while this year's updates seem comparatively trivial right now, post-release tweaks could make a big difference in its future appeal. The only people who will be dissatisfied with the new model are those who expected Apple to do more with the hardware, and even then, there's plenty of room for optimism: hiccups aside, Apple TVs do tend to get better over time.

Madbury needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 386 designs submitted by 115 freelance designers.
Deadbolt.com is a new site that helps homeowners research their buying options for deadbolt locks and security services. The site doesn't sell products or services directly -- it simply helps people understand which brands are most reputable, which types of products are relevant for different circumstances, and what to look for when they shop.
The site targets homeowners that want to improve the security on their home -- but aren't sure which particular product / brand to buy. They aren't sure who to trust, and they aren't inherently interested in the subject matter.
Note: I've looked at more than 160 designs now. I do not want a design that integrates a padlock -- that would be perfect for Padlock.com, but not for Deadbolt.com. Thanks!
The design for Deadbolt.com is challenging. I want the logo to express that the company is trustworthy, professional and well-informed.
The logo should include the term "Deadbolt.com". It should also include an image that suggests locks or security.
Feel free to experiment with colors!
1. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold.
2. Nothing too elegant / fancy.
1. I like white space -- please don't feel like you need to fill the logo with color.
2. I tend to like graphics to the left of the domain name.
3. I don't tend to like a "reflection" underneath the domain name.
Please don't feel like these must be rigidly followed -- I'm just trying to give some feedback on elements that I like.
Thanks for all the wonderful designs!
