About Art in Montreal
If Toronto is Canada's commercial hub, Montreal is its cultural capital. Named a UNESCO City of Design in 2006, the city is home to 38 museums of all shapes and sizes. Art, architecture, natural history, science, photography - take your pick. And as for music, ask Arcade Fire, Stars, We Are Wolves, etc what they think! The last few years have seen an indie rock explosion, with new bands and artists springing up on every corner, and fiercely loyal fans that will stand in crowded bars to see the up and comers play. For bigger shows, head to the Bell Center, where everyone from the Rolling Stones to Lady Gaga has made an appearance.
If it's festivals are more your thing, you're in luck. Summer is basically just one event after another, from the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, and Les FrancoFolies (the world's largest French-language festival), to Just for Laughs, through Osheaga weekend, and ending with Pop Montreal, you can catch hundreds of shows (many of them free!).
Also it's home to Megan Draper (and Jessica Pare, who plays her). Walking into Don at an art show? Très chic!
Local Customs
Montrealers are really friendly, so don't hesitate to ask for help, directions, or suggestions. Word to the wise: any effort to speak even the most minimal amount of French goes a long way in some neighborhoods.
If it's cool in Canada, it probably started in Montreal. Once Canada's industrial hub, Montreal gave in to the economic might of Toronto and focused instead on having some soul. The city was the backdrop for some of the biggest cultural shifts in Quebec history, including the Revolution Tranquille in the 1960s. Where there once was a strict divide between English and French speakers, that line has gradually faded - though it flares up every now and then.
Politics & Economy
Canada's political system is a mix of parliamentary democracy and federal system. The country is divided into 10 provinces and three territories. Montreal is located in the province of Quebec.
Until the 1960s, the province of Quebec was dominated by a conservative Catholic Church. While you'll still find traces of that traditional past every now and then, the city is predominantly liberal. (Our conservatives are fiscal conservatives, not social ones). The socio-political tensions in Montreal aren't based on the traditional divide between left and right but on issues of language and class. In 1968, René Levesque founded the Parti Québécois, a political party advocating for Quebec's independence from Canada. There have been two referendums on the issue of separation, in 1980 and 1995. On both occasions, the "No" side prevailed. Quebec is currently governed by a minority government led by the Parti Québécois, with the Liberal Party as the official opposition.
Many companies - like Bombardier, Cirque du Soleil, Molson Coors Brewing Company, Ubisoft Montreal - have their corporate headquarters in Montreal. The aerospace and videogame industries, the arts, and tourism are the backbone of the city's economy.

Love these bottoms! Super Comfy
Love these bottoms! Super Comfy
This is exactly what I was looking for in a bikini bottom. Shows off just enough and fits snug on the lower hips so you do not have to worry about it coming off. Just as the wedsite says, their sizes do run smaller than normal. I ordered a size M and it fits perfectly!
When I seen this I had to get a matching top!!!!! It's so cute and I look forward to wearing it to the beaches!!!
Strappy back gives a great custom fit that makes you feel nice and secure.
I was a little worried at first because I like to wear my bottoms higher up on my hips, but once I got these in the mail and tried them on I immediately fell in love. They are super comfy and you can wear them low rise or higher up.
I swim about one to two miles threes times a week and this bottom fits perfectly where there is no drag in the water but not compression feeling. It also dried extremely fast!

Tammy listens?
Anyway, I was not prepared to speak, as we didn't decide if we were really going or not until practically the last minute, but I signed up to speak anyway. Over the next few minutes, I mentally composed some points upon which to touch. I decided against writing them down, partly bcause I didn't have any paper, but also because I wanted to look at her while I was speaking. The first few people who spoke were all quite organized. Most, but not all, were there to speak about impeachment or things related. One gentleman in particular expressed many of the things I was going to mention, and a few more as well. He spoke very calmly and was really very effective. A few more people came next, including our friend Beth who was very, very good in her presentation and hit upon a number of issues that others had neglected.
Eventually it was my turn. I was a bit nervous, so I don't remember exactly what I told her, but I think it was something like this:
"Thank you for being here with us tonight. What he said (pointing to the gentleman I mentioned earlier)! Furthermore, I'd like to hrhrhghelllbbbelmphg jkerosptew hgkdlkdhgkdlkdhgkdlkd mukmukmuk brblbrblbr, grbl floogn bikit! Sorry. I'm done." (wipes drool from chin).
Then Ms. Ether spoke. She is always impressive at these things. I was too busy wondering what I had just said to remember what she said in any detail. I'm sure she will have a good post about it, though.
All in all, the sentiments of those who came were overwhelmingly in favor of impeachment. There was a great deal of frustration with the Democrats in congress. A few other issues were presented before we had to leave, but that was definitely the theme of the session.
Tammy, who is one of the more progressive representatives in the house, was sympathetic, but she also made a number of excuses about why that won't work, why it takes so long blah blah blah.
I was particularly disturbed by her response to a man who asked her for an explanation of her votes on bills relating to Israel and Palestine. She really did a great political-weasel-dance on that question. I thought he raised some very valid points (of course I did, since he agreed with me), and she evaded giving him a straight answer quite skillfully. A number of people said things to the effect of "this is Madison, Wisconsin. Do the right thing. We've got your back." I don't think she really got that bit.
Excuse me while I go put on a dry shirt. This one is still a bit damp. From the drooling, that is.
11/27/07: Update Alert! After musing a bit on what I had written above, I have this to add.

Poppycock, Mr. Ether! You were also eloquent. You sounded angry, as you have every right to be, but you were measured and controlled. I do think you are correct in your assessment (made while driving home) that Tammy is very insulated from the problems that more and more of us face as the economy founders. If I were you, I'd hang around Jenny Street Market over the next few days, and chances are you'll have another chance to see her face to face, this time in the check-out line. And you weren't drooling.

Oh, and I know what you mean about speaking at those things. When I had the chance to shake hands with and ask a question of Dennis Kucinich back last spring I thought I was going to hyperventilate and die. Luckily I made it out alive and he was very gracious.

Tammy Baldwin is exceedingly gracious and down to Earth. I think she DOES listen. I also like the fact that she maintains a home on the funky east side, albeit on the lake, instead of in the 'burbs or Shorewood Hills. Yeah, overall, she is a good egg.

- FranIAm said...
This is so interesting. I think that folks like Tammy seem to want to do the right thing...but the overall environment makes it hard to do that.
Now if we all had congress folk who offered listening moments that might change.
I am thinking you overstated the drooling sir. And that was before Suzy rang in with her real life and clearly unbiased opinion.
You guys are great- the whole blogging family.

Take a journey with me. A couple months back, Q the owner of Worldstarhiphop, had told me about a tour he had planned to promote his brand in Australia. Few weeks after that, he told me they were thinking of filming it and if I was interested in producing the series. I knew Q was a character and sounded like a fun concept, so that conversation evolved into expanding the trip into Singapore and Bangkok. Within a couple weeks I was on a flight across the Pacific. Thank goodness for business class, because I get extremely claustrophobic on 10+ hour trips like this overseas. Note: All iphone snaps are mine, the DSLR snaps were taken by our Aussie cameraman Tim.
The lady next to me was a trip. During the 12 hour flight, she didn't watch a single second of TV or listen to any music. She just sat there, still as night, picking her nose. A half day later, I make it to the halfway point in Seoul, the motherland!
Incheon airport is Seoul is clean and high tech. They even let you scrub your weary nuts in public. Just kidding, behind a door!
Finally reach Sydney, a sight for sore eyes..
Great dude, let me know where to go and took me to get a precious SIM card.
Get to my room at the Hyatt Park Regency at the Rocks in Sydney. This hotel is revered as the 2nd greatest hotel in the world, mainly due to it's impeccable 5 star service. That's the downtown Sydney skyline…
Jet lagged but who cares. I need to see the city…
Later that night, we head to Emperor's Palace for some quality Chinese. That's a king crab, check those mittens!
That's the pigeon we ate. It tasted very much like duck. Nobody ate the head.
Next day, we flee to Bondi beach. Talk about breathtakingly beautiful.
I stumble upon a piece done by Chali 2na from Jurassic 5, who are getting back together and playing Coachella this year! Fuck yeah!
The world renowned rock pool at Bondi…
Decide to head to get some chow in hipster-ish Surry Hills…
From there, we resolve to walk back to the hotel at the Rocks. Sometimes the best way to learn the city is with your own two feets.
This guy is leaching free wifi off of Hungry Jack, Australia's version and owned by Burger King. Find it funny this guy can't just sit on the bench and prefers the dirt floor. To each their own.
Next day, that's a big piece of ship!
We go deep sea fishing.
Notice how nobody's fishing. We were all sea sick!
So instead, we eat some fresh shrimp the skipper caught earlier.
And of course a toast to the good life…
Finally seeing land, we're happy. There's Q, chief land lover…
I was relieved too. This city slicker held in his lunch!
Next day, we're off to Singapore. You really appreciate laying down sometimes.
First night, we hit a spot called Mink which was okay. There's Mandon, pouring someone else's magnum!
We all know about Singapore's strict laws. Surprisingly, we didn't see many cops there except these guys, who were responding to a fight in the club. Basically the dude in the bg, knocked the guy in the foreground to the ground. Then they got kicked out. Just like the States!
Imagine what this dude's hangover's gonna be like…
Next day, a break in the clouds from all of the rain. View from the suite at the Four Seasons.
The crew on our way out for the day.
Later, we head to Little India…
After getting jiggy with the Indians, we cruise over to the sparkling Marina Bay Sands hotel…
We had a reservation at Sky on 57, on the roof. The food was interesting. Mushroom cappuccino was odd, lobster tails were yum!
Q and executive chef Justin Quek…
On top of Singapore. View is spectacular.
Later, we head to Pangea which is Singapore's biggest club. Reminded me of Vegas.
The next day, it's Chinese New Year and Singapore is in a majorly celebratory mood.
It's the year of the snake, so why not build a snake from some lanterns. Pretty fresh.
Famished, so of course what better to eat than some authentic Chinese. Here's Q making sure the waitress knows to make his chicken fried rice with egg and green onions, nothing more. And to make it nuclear spicy! Finally I've met someone who likes fire as much as I do.
The rotating table of wonder.
I filmed a portion of the series myself, as that's where my career all began with "Rock Fresh". Bobbing and weaving in the thick Chinatown crowds.
Then the clock strikes midnight, hepppppy Chinese new year!
Oddly Singapore's so strict but you can freely drink on the street. Don't mind if I do!
Hopped in the car and head down to Arab Street. Totally different vibe from Chinatown. Very chill.
Chinese new year goes on for days. So as we packed up to head to Bangkok, we get ambushed by these trippy dragons!
A quick 2.5 hour flight and we're at our final destination.
This is how hot it is in Bangkok…
Traffic everywhere.
This is not fashion, this is protection from the heavy pollution.
We check into the Peninsula hotel. Here's a view from our suite…
That night, we're tired and decide to just hop a boat.
We hop off the boat and are greeted by these critters…
The next day, we meet up with Djaybuddah, originally from Queens NY, now living in Bangkok and just the man. He's the official DJ for the group Thaitanium and member of DJ crew Bangkok Invaders.
This is his barber shop in Siam Market…
Buddah, staying true to his name, blesses us with a bit of ganja. Yes, I smoke occasionally, I'm a Californian, it's in my blood! This really took the edge off from all of the traveling…
Just then, room service rang. That story is too complicated and funny to even explain. After our session, we hop another boat to the Wat Arun buddhist temple. On the way, we got mouths full of Chao Phraya river sewage water! Delicious!
Arrived. These 3 were praying…
While this guy on the right is screaming at the top of his lungs. A strange dichotomy of peace and racket!
We go to explore the temples.
And find the temple of doom. Check out those steps!
If one person falls, it's catastrophic for all of those below. It's dumb hot, but we make it to the top.
Make it back down. More racket, in celebration still of Chinese new years!
It's good racket. Spiritual racket. In honor of the year of the snake, visitors come and place gold foil on this massive beast for good luck. (insert bad joke here)
This kid reminded of "The Golden Child". He's really just having a blast slapping people with holy water. I got drenched!
We head back down the river to the hotel.
We rest up a bit, then head back out into the thick city traffic. This is my favorite snap of Tim's…
Later that night, we hit Lumpinee Stadium, world famous and historic spot for Muay Thai fights.
Don't let the pink shorts fool you. He'll beat you down!
After this fight, these guys came up with no gloves so we are hyped. Instead it was a cultural display of Muay Thai's roots, which was equally cool. And they still kinda beat each other up!
Then, more blood…
It's wild in here, real rowdy. This guy blocked it all out, he may have been hungry…
These fighters have so much swag. Forget anything of the west, the effortless and no nonsense these fighters portray in the ring is nothing short of impressive.
Each fighter has to listen to their corners, which not only are their cornermen, but their entire entourage yelling out their suggestions to win the fight. This fighter has his mother-in-law shouting at him. Just kidding, that was later!
The fighter in blue thanks the other fighter's entourage for annoying his opponent to defeat.
When in fact, the guy in blue loses. And the fighter's mother-in-law's gamble pays off.
Outside, Q gets mobbed by people asking to take photos with him. This happened everywhere we went. When he tells them he's an 'internet guy', they still want a snap. Q has that magnetism.
All that scrapping made me hungry! We decided on some Italian nearby. This dish was gone in 3 bites, maybe 2.
Later, our driver takes us on a harrowing safari through Soi Cowboy, one of Bangkok's infamous red light districts.
Very sad.
Very honest.
Definitely some ladyboys in this pack.
Later, we meet back up with Buddah. On Tuesdays, he throws his long running party at Bed Supperclub. He's not there yet, so Mandon, Tim and I grab a couple drinks at the mobile bar across the street. Why can't the States have these. Oh yeah, Americans can't hold their liquor.
Buddah and Khan arrive. All family.
Their hashtag on everything is #RunBKK.
Ladies love Buddah…
Part of the crew. Bangkok is legit, great people.
Next day, a nail salon in the Siam Market. They were so heppppy!
This girl played The Sims in this dark alley. Can't tell whether she was creating an Asian woman or not!
More sadness.
Our last full day, getting work done in the hotel.
We go and link up with our pal Babar. He shows us some new tricks he learned.
Course we had to take a spin. There's Gerry doing his trademark IG pose. haha
That night we went to Facebar, the most amazing Thai restaurant you will ever go to. It looks like a house and just blew me away. I ate until my stomach nearly exploded, as usual.
Q likes his food spicy!
Chinese new year, still!
The quickest 2 weeks I've ever experienced. Loved all 3 cities, but time to get back to California…
In style.
Bye BKK, you were unforgettable.
The full 3-episode travel series coming soon.

I encountered this odd problem. I recently switched to windows 10 from 7. When I play video from the monitor (via dvi cable), it plays fine, but as soon as the big screen TV (connected via hdmi) is turned on, the sound goes off. This happens with potplayer as well as vlc player, so it's probably not application related. However, I go to windows sound setting and I can hear the test sounds (while big screen TV is on) - just not from the video. I never encountered this before in windows 7.
If you need any other information to help diagnose, please advise.
Thank you!
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.

This is inexcusable! I paid over a grand for my Dell. Does Dell care that I don't even make a living wage? Capitalists are freaking monsters. And you won't get me to change my mind about that no matter how many hospitals in Yemen you bomb or how much you rant about non existent Russian aggression. Cost cutting? I think neoliberal capitalism, and gangster Corporatocracy and mafia capitalism are all things we can't afford, ergo... I don't even earn a living wage while corporations cost cut, job cut. tax evade and push governments to sign evil "free trade" agreements giving them more power, at our expense.

When I open a media file in a player, it only plays the audio, but if I open the same file while this is playing in another player it will play both. It does not matter which player I open first it will only play audio. But the second player will play the audio and video. I have tried Windows Media player, Real Player, Winamp, DivX, DivD and they all act the same. I am running Win XP. If anyone has any help it would be appreciated. I have updated each player and downloaded lastest codecs. Have no idea how to solve this. Thanks for any help you can give. Randy

WMP9 gave me the following report :
0xC00D11BA: Cannot play the file
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device, such as a sound card or sound controller. You may encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:
Your sound device is in use by another program. Quit other programs that may be using your sound device, and then try to play the file again.
Your sound device is not functioning properly. To troubleshoot the problem, see the Sound Troubleshooter in Windows Help or refer to your sound device's documentation.
You do not have a sound device installed on your computer. Install a sound device, and then try to play the file again.
Error ID = 0xC00D11BA, Condition ID = 0x00000000
How I can fix this problem?
Hello and welcome to Techspot.
Go into your device manager, and check to see if there are any yellow exclamation or question marks next to your audio devices.
You could also try reinstalling the drivers for your sound device.
If you`ve got onboard sound then you will need to go to your mobo manufacturers website, and download the latest drivers from there.
If on the other hand, you`ve got a seperate soundcard, then go to the soundcard manufacturers website, and download the drivers from there.

This laptop was used before I got it. The problem that I am having is that while I play an audio file the mouse will start to lag and the audio will make this weird buzzing sound and sometimes will sound like its in slow motion or speed up. If I try to watch a video it will either never load or lag very badly. If I don't close it out when that happens (Both audio and video) it will blue screen. The mouse also sometimes just lags when I'm doing nothing but moving it across the screen. I've ran a few virus scans that found nothing.
I don't know if this is needed. But this showed up so I copied it.

Hello, I've been noticing something since I got my P50 that is very irritiating. I am running Windows 10 on a M.2 SSD and using the stock HDD for storage. I have a couple of games stored on the HDD along with a library of some music. Whenever I play a game, I notice 1 second freezing of both video and audio before the game resumes back. The games I'm playing are very light pre 2011 games that I used to run on my old laptop. To further cement the point, I have a dac/amp connected to the P50 via a USB port. Music will be playing and suddenly things stop for a second or so before it resumes. If I am to guess what is happening, I might say the HDD is trying to go to sleep in those moments I notice the 1 second freezing. If that is the case, what can I do to stop that ?Read other answers

I have a custom built PC with an external soundcard via USB (Creative Soundblaster 24). A friend installed a new harddrive (Seagate OEM 500GB Barracuda 7200.12 Internal Hard Disk Drive)
(7200RPM, SATA, 16MB Cache) into the PC and copied all my files from an old PC to this PC. All audio/video worked fine on this PC until everything was copied over including version of microsoft xp.
Sometimes the videos/songs play normal and then other times it will go really fast or jump a second at a time.
I have a list of codecs if needed.
I really need someone to help me with this problem. Any extra information needed i will try to get it
I've been experiencing a weird problem. Basically, any video I play in a browser (such as in YouTube), is un-watchable. The colors are all funny and everything is pixelated (see attached screenshot). I use Chrome, but I tried in IE too and am getting the same problem. I also tried installing a new codec pack (K-Lite Codec Pack), but the problem remains. Has anyone seen this problem before and have an idea how to resolve it?

Ok, I restarted my computer from a fresh boot this morning and when I opened up iTunes to play a song, I clicked the play button. It then proceeds to keep the song on 0:00, no audio no nothing. No attempt to even start the song.
Thinking it was an iTunes error I tried to play something in WMP. It did the same thing....clicked play and the song stays on 0:00. Now I tried to play a video in WMP to see if that worked, and it played extremely slowly and laggy with no audio. VLC media player is doing the same thing.
Some background on my system, it doesn't lag. I have an i7920 and the hard drive the music and audio is stored on is extremely fast. I also tried moving the music to a different HD on my system and it does the same thing. Any help is appreciated. I am going to try a system restore.
A system restore fixed it. Looks like a windows update was installed. Thats the only thing that could have done it. I haven't installed anything for over a week. If you know what might have done it specifically, let me know.
Hello. I just registered. My PC keeps freezing while I watch a movie or listen to music.
It acts like in this video:
You Tube
I even plugged it into a new wall socket, and cleaned it from dust, updated Windows 10 to version 1511, and I even moved the ram memory in different slots, but the buzz still happens for a millisecond. I haven't experienced this in games afaik though.
Can anyone please help me? It is getting annoying. Before Windows 10, I had Windows 8.1, but I upgraded. This happened with Windows 8.1 as well.
My specs: Intel Core i7-4790K, 4200 MHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4 GB) 8 GB RAM
Please someone help me. Many thanks.
Hi all,
since a few days I'm experiencing a crackling sound (glitch) when playing videos (youtube, mp4, ...) and audio (mp3).
I didn't install any new software but I guess it occured after a windows update. Unfortunately i cannot recover my pc to before the update.
I already looked up for solutions, but I'm not finding it.
I tried to find it within thee latency issues, but I was not able to find it as told in following topic:
I don't know which graph I need to check because they have other names than the one given in the diagnose topic.
Which one of these do I need?

I'm able to download both mpegs and streaming content, but it only plays the audio... not the video. I've tried several different players... it doesn't seem to matter.
Any suggestions?
(It's a relatively new computer (Compaq 3045 laptop), running Windows XP Home version).
I take it back... RealMedia is playing video... the problem is just with the Windows Media Player (current version). I've already tried re-downloading several times. Still searching for solutions...
I am using DivX Plus Player version 8.1.2 to play some mkv files. The audio wasn't playing and I found from the error message that I needed a codec (AC3 and 8192 came up - I'm not technical enough to know what that means).
I found a codec, and now the audio plays but stutters to the point where I can't watch the video.
Please help a numpty in distress!
Well, I'll tell you what I do with the DivxHD MKV files...I convert them to Xvid MP4 with Format Factory.
Why? Because I have nothing but trouble playing back MKV files...the audio is out of sync, the audio stops, the audio this the audio that (can't remember stuttering).
I convert to Xvid MP4 and the picture is still great, it plays in anything and the audio is rock solid.
Other than that I think MKV is great!
Hi Everyone,
I used to play any movie type with my VLC media player since it has almost all the Codecs necessary for playing all video and audio files including AC3 audio (code "8192) format. Now, i can only hear the audio while playing a video file. This issue applied to all my media players (VLC, DivX, BS.Player, WMP, Media Player Classic) except Winamp. It doesn't apply to Winamp probably because i've never used it before untill this problem arised. I don't really know why.
Anyway, the problem started after i played an old and cracked DVD movie on my system with VLC. While playing the DVD, it started skipping and later on played smoothly. But after ejecting the DVD, i could no longer see images on any movie i played with any media player except for Winamp. The problem i'm having with Winamp is that it can't play all type of media files especially ones with AC3 audio (code 8192) which means you can only see the video but no audio and also does not re-index while trying to play an incomplete movie copy, unlike VLC.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installin DivX including VLC which i suspects caused the problem, but still, the problem persists.
ANY HELP, PLZ. Sorry for the long note.
After a while using my laptop (a couple of hours) the audio and video start playing in slow motion. This happened to me while I was watching YouTube videos. Also sometimes some buttons are delayed like the volume and the brightness button. I would like to know if it is something that can be fixed and also if it would be covered by the warranty.
Hi, It is avery nice machine from outside: http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c05217287.pdf But it is not designed for CPU and GPU intensive works (such as watching videos) therefore after a while, machine will get hot and heat, heat, heat will slow it down. Note: you won't be able to upgrade both.

While playing a video from my HDD to my Panasonic LCD TV, via an HDMI cable, the screen goes black for 3-4 seconds every 30-45 seconds. Audio continues while screen is black.
Searching the internet I found two suggestions:
1. In VLC Tools>Preferences
choose ALL settings
select Stream Output
Change caching from default=600 msec to a higher number
2. https://forums.opensuse.org/showthre...es-(solutions)
-> Go to Tools->Preferences->Video
-> Remove the tick for "Accelerated video output (Overlay)"
Haven't tried either of them yet, as I thought I'd first post this issue to the forum and ask for advice.
My HDMI cable is about 5' long. Could that be contributing to the intermittent black screen?
In all other respects my laptop works fine
Ok - Windows Gurus.
I have windows media player on the machine. Everything has worked smoothly for months now. I now have a problem with media player 10. When I click on a link to view streaming video, the clip will buffer for a bit, then the 1st frame of the video comes up/freezes and the audio continues on.
If I close media player and click on the same clip, both the video and audio work fine. What is causing the video to freeze (audio continues to play) when I click on the video clips the first time around.
If I try to play something locally, there are no problems. It is only with streaming content and this is a new issue. Software wise, I have been authoring a handful of DVDs but outside of that, nothing has changed.
I have tried to reinstall media 10, reinstall the codec packs etc. All other media players play fine (real audio, winamp etc)- no video freeze. So this is only inherent to wmp10. Weird.
Any other thoughts on what has been altered to cause the video freeze?
I am all for suggestions and thanks in advance for the help!
Hi. At this point i'm just curious what BS is behind this. Asus P5N-Deluxe Quad2Core 2.8 16gb DDR2 800 BFG GTX 280 Vista Ultimate 64 Enough space left on all drives I have a pretty decent machine. I have 16 gigs ram and its pretty rare that i use up all of that ram at once. Yet every once in a while I go to watch a video on my computer and i get "Your computer is running low on memory. Quit other programs, then try again." --seems laughable The behavior is that the video plays, but there is no audio (WMP) - But it will also not have audio in VLC or anything else - basically its like the issue is universal and the only way i can watch any video with any audio is by rebooting my system. It doesn't matter if i free up tons of ram (trying with 12 open right now, and no go). Its constant until i reboot. Does anybody know what this is and how to get rid of it?

I use a laptop with Windows XP Home Edition, service pack 3. A couple of days ago I started having problems playing video and music files that have worked fine before. Windows Media Player 11 would give the me the error message;
"Your computer is running low on memory. Quit other programs and then try again"
As well as not giving any sound. I wasn't actually running any other programs at the time and the memory wasn't running low, so I tried playing the file in Media Player Classic. No error message, but also no sound. Although sometimes WMP11 doesn't display that message, but still plays the file with no sound.
With music files WMP11 would not give me the error message, but would not play the files either. Having experienced somewhat similar problems before, the first thing I tried was to uninstall and then reinstall the codec pack. However, when trying to reinstall the CCCP, I got the following message;
And a quick search I found out installing to a shorter path name would bypass that, so installed it C:\CCCP and it worked. And it did actually solve the problem, for about a day. But now it's happening again and I have no idea why. I tried the K-lite mega codec pack instead, but it made no difference.
Any ideas? If more information is needed I'll do my best to fill you in.

When I am using Microsoft Office or most programs, everything runs fine. But when I try to run a Video or Audio file, the entire system freezes within about 3 to 10 minutes. I've tried the following:

Scan for virus or malware = nothing
Check for overheating = system is running cool
Paging is OK
Too many processes? = I don't think so. I've been monitoring them while running both audio and video.

Hi everyone
I bought a Dell XPS13 9343 two years ago. I've never had any significant problems. The only thing that bugged me was that sometimes videos behaved a bit difficult - they would move in slow-mo and without sound if i clicked fast forward or backward (way) too often.
Now I have serious problems with audio and video. It started a few days ago. Whenever I pause a video and do something else (even just for a few seconds), i can't restart the video i.e. press play again. The video then does the slow-mo and no-sound thing. I can only solve this by reloading the video, which is really annoying.
The other problem I have is the sound. Whenever a sound comes on for the first time, it's incredibly loud, even though it's not supposed to be. This happens with or without headphones. An example is when I start a video - bam, really loud. If I click the volume I already set, it goes down to that volume.
I've already downloaded new drivers and the newest Windows 10 update is installed as well.
Has anybody experienced the same problems? Any solutions? I'm kind of desperate, because I can't work like this.
Thank you so much.
I bought a Dell l702x in January and a couple months later installed a SSD and did a clean install of Windows. Since then I have been getting frequent BSODs when playing audio or video. Most of the crashes seem to be with either the Nvidia gt 555m driver or the Intel Graphics 3000 driver.
I am uploading all the BSOD crash information.
I would appreciate any help anybody could give with why I am getting these Blue Screens and what I need to do to fix the problem.
Are you using the NVIDIA or Intel VGA? Seems like they are conflicting with each other.
Normally when there's an add-in graphics card, BIOS will stop using the integrated one.
try this:- Restart the laptop and press the keys to go to BIOS menu (usually F2, depends on manufacturer)
- Check the settings for the graphics card
- Make sure you select the option that says: disable integrated one if the add-in present
Good afternoon! Just joined this forum in the hope I can find an answer to my problem! I've tried searching online but found no answers so far. This is the issue:
I'd like to be able to insert a DVD in my PC and be able to play the video with 2 languages at the same time via different outputs. So basically I'd have a external sound card that has 2 audio outputs and I'd like to be able to tell the media player to stream English to output1 and Spanish to output2. This way if I have the headphones plugged into output1 I can watch the movie in English and the other person can hear Spanish in their headphones on output2.
With only 1 video playing though of course.
Is this possible? I'm having real trouble finding a solution to this!
Thanks in advance!
So, an old computer. Lately been having some serious problems with it. The most frustrating one, is that all audio from video playback, will hang for about two seconds, every forty seconds or so. This makes all video files unwatchable. I have no idea what to do. I use a USB headset, and figuring that was the problem, unplugged it, and jacked earbuds into the headphone jack. No change. I've updated all driver, run malware and virus scans. All come back clean. The issue does not occur when playing YouTube videos.
Attached zip file contains MSINFO file, and Event Viewer System log, because browsing the forum, those get asked for a lot.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help
Its not a PC sound card problem if it happens with USB headset. When using USB headset you are bypassing the PC's sound card and going digital. The conversion to analog is done inside the headset.
Although sound is affected, its some other PC system problem. The first thing I see is only 2GB of RAM. With only 2GB of RAM you are at real world bare minimum for a 32 bit OS and really pushing it with a 64 bit OS that uses more memory. There is very little left for programs. The only reason to use a 64 bit OS is if you have more than 4GB of RAM.
Wasn't sure what this could be related to. If this is in the wrong section just let me know.
Well, this started about a week ago. I thought nothing about it. I thought it may have been a bad driver. So I updated my graphics driver, stuttering is still there. So next I tried to update my hard drive firmware, but the stuttering is still there. Next I tried, to update my bios, that didn't help it. Any ideas?
I have an asus g73jw laptop with the specs:
8gb of ram
Nvidia gtx 460m
Hard drive is a Momentus XT
If there is anything else you need just let me know.
Turns out I just needed to update my drivers then run the games as an admin and it fixed itself.Read other 1 answers
I usually connect my laptop to my tv to watch video files in VLC. Recently, I have been noticing when I connect my laptop to my TV and play these video files, the audio skips so much that the video is unwatchable. This happens with every video I try to open (mostly MKV and AVI files). However, when I play these video files without the computer connected to the TV, they work fine. Could the problem be my TV or my HDMI cable?
In VLC, set a delay between audio or video, or for the mkv's you can demux and adjust them. First, I would update your drivers, is this a laptop or desktop?Read other 3 answers
Windows Media player keeps getting interrupted by "things" other programs?
Media player keeps getting interrupted by "things" - other programs I guess. Both while playing mp3's and music videos. It doesn't shut down. It just sort of shorts out the music... until I guess whatever is finished bothering it.
It happens
-When I try to rename files or move them around in Windows Explorer [not the ones playing].
-While on the internet. No certain reason that I can see. The websites/webpages I have open don't appear to have any media player music playing. It happens when I use either IE or Foxfire browsers.
Is there a button or something I can select that can keep Windows Media Player from being affected by other programs? It is verY irritating.
I have the following MUTED in volume control:

Okay... I asked this question awhile back and a gentlemen said he thought my my system is working too hard and when any other activity is required there is insufficient CPU time left for the video or audio, so it pauses. But he couldn't say ... he needed my specs.

I have the network speaker connected wirelessly to the laptop already, so it can pull music files from it using DLNA through Windows Media Player 11. Now I want to be able to play a DVD on the laptop and have the sound simultaneously play on the network speaker. I know WMP12 on Windows 7 has the "play to" feature, but how can you do it on Vista?
I'm afraid you can't do it on Windows Vista. You need to upgrade to Windows 7 since that's the only version on which WMP12 will run, and the feature you want to use only exists on that version of WMP.
Whenever I play streaming video or audio my PC will crash with a BSOD. The error shown is "Driver IRQL Not Less Than Or Equal". Looking at the reports, it references ndis.sys as being the possible culprit.

I've had this issue since installing Windows 7 (32 bit) over 2 months ago and have been actively seeking a fix for the majority of those two months. In windows XP pro (32 bit), I had no issues whatsoever. The problem manifests itself as a complete hang of all system functions and inability to interact with my computer aside from moving the pointer around. This only occurs when I am playing some sort of media (mp3, avi, mp4, mkv, etc) on any media player that I had installed at the current time of testing (WMP12, VLC, Realplayer). The initial response is a hang of the system which then can become a freeze if I click around too much during the hang. After approximately 3-5 minutes the problem is alleviated and the system plays catchup with the video/audio sync.Below is a complete rundown on my system and fixes floating from other threads that I have attempted.My System Spec:

When Christian Louboutin launched his inaugural nail polish - after two solid years personally perfecting it - he naturally invited the ELLE beauty team (to his beautiful house) to mull it over. What a day...
So, Christian. Why now for beauty?
In a way my story started with a nail polish. It was my third collection in 1992, I got the first prototype of a new Mary Jane shoe. But looking at my initial drawing, there was something missing. I wanted bright, pop-art colour, but from certain angles the sole created this dark shadow. My assistant was there, so I grabbed her red nail polish, and painted the sole. So back then I took something from the beauty world, and now I am giving something back.
Is it true in the beginning you were thinking of changing the colour of the soles?
Yes, I thought it would be nice to have a different colour every season. Then I realised immediately when I did the red sole that it became so recognisable. I kept being told they were like a Hoover - they sucked in attention. A woman told me that her husband noticed her soles from across the street and they began their relationship talking about them. So I made her wedding shoes for her!
Do you think makeup is better used to amplify beauty rather than mask imperfections?
In my world I really like to enhance beauty. At school I was called a feminist. I could never understand how in the 70s sophisticated women were looked down upon for wearing makeup. Why? No one could tell me why a woman should not look feminine in a classical way. So in the end I suppose I stayed true to that. I still havent found a reason why some one wanting to wear heels or makeup or enhance their beauty shouldnt.
When you designed the nail polish did you have someone in mind?
I didnt have a person in mind, When I think of a woman I think of the attitude and the posture as a whole. The way you talk with your hands, the language of the body, and the attitude of movements. In Thailand for instance they have gold nails for the dancers to add to the expression. So its culture and attitude more that inspired me.
The bottle design is incredible. it seems like you had no limits.
Its an entirely new adventure and its something Im dedicated to, but I had to do it myself. There is a French saying that god is into detail. It took years to get it right, but I did not want to add another unnecessary object to the world that had nothing to do with beauty. If Im talking beauty, it has to be beautiful. Its like the fashion industry. I always think, you have so many people who are presenting elegance but you dont know how to behave, how come you can be rude but you are so into being so chic? It doesnt click. Beauty is the same, I couldnt speak about beauty unless I thought what I was doing was beautiful.
How did you get the right red?
I knew it had to look good on a lot of skins, so I got the entire office to try it, and it didnt look odd on one person. Not even the man in my office who does the accounts. I made him wear it for a whole day. It looked great!

How To Prevent A Tax Levy
Far too many people underestimate the IRS for its ability to follow through and get that last dime from them. The 'IRS' might as well stand for 'is really serious,' so the way you handle your taxes should be serious, too.
They won't pull the rug out from underneath you, though. You will get a notice and demand for payment, a notice of intent to levy, and a notice of a right to a Collection Due Process hearing. These will come in the form of five letters that is often referred to as the 'notice stream'. If you don't pay the balance or arrange to pay the balance by the time you get the last notice, the levy could be issued. The IRS will garnish your wages. Remember that 'really serious' part? The IRS issued 3 million in levies in 2012 alone.
What can you do? There are steps you can take to have the levy lifted but we recommend doing one better – don't get the levy in the first place. Ahhh, the power of prevention. Even if you are in dire straits, there are things you can do to keep this from happening. Read on for more about how to prevent a tax levy.
Get Confirmation; Then Negotiate The first thing you need to do is make sure the IRS didn't make a mistake. Hey, it's rare but it does happen. If you've been able to verify your balance, it's time to negotiate. It is possible to contact the IRS and come up with a payment arrangement. Figure out what you can pay and go from there, securing the help of a tax professional if you need to. Monthly payment installations can be arranged. As long as you make the monthly payments, the levy will be deferred and likely canceled altogether.

Considering Faking Your Own Death? Then The Philippines Is The Place For You
The technical term is pseudocide – a fancy word that means, essentially, 'faking your own death."
Hundreds of thousands of Americans – some struggling with seemingly insurmountable debt burdens or are being hounded by the IRS after stiffing the tax man – have probably fantasized about faking their own deaths. But few understand just how easy it is to – um – execute such an ambitious, if legally precarious, plan.
That's where purveyors of so-called 'death kits' come in. Few westerners are aware of its existence, but there's actually a thriving cottage industry based in the Philippines, where investors can purchase all the tools they need to fake their own deaths for the surprisingly low price of about 350 pounds (about $500).
Of course, the scheme has several macabre elements. The process involves buying an unclaimed corpse from one of the many morgues in the Philippines where the bodies of John and Jane Does are stored.
According to the Telegraph, many customers who choose this route are desperate Wall Street bankers seeking to escape debt, and men having affairs who want to leave their families.

Obamacare's Revenge: The IRS Will Not Process Your Tax Return Unless You Tell Them Whether You Have Health Insurance Or Not
Yes, this is a true story. I was completely shocked when I learned about this too, and this just underscores the importance of repealing the individual mandate immediately. Shortly after taking office, President Trump issued an executive order which was intended to move the IRS away from enforcing Obamacare's individual mandate, but now the IRS has found a way around that executive order. According to the official AARP website, the IRS has announced that it will not process any tax returns from individuals that are not willing to disclose whether they currently have health insurance or not…
The Internal Revenue Service won't process individual tax returns in 2018 unless taxpayers indicate whether they have health insurance coverage or an exemption.
The move, announced last month, reverses course from this year, when the IRS said it would not require filers to indicate on 1040 tax forms whether they had health insurance. Filers were still required to have medical insurance or pay a penalty, but the IRS accepted and processed returns even if taxpayers didn't indicate coverage status.
So what this means is that you will not get your refund until you tell the IRS if you have health insurance.
And if you don't have health insurance and you don't qualify for an exemption, you could be hit with a very painful financial penalty.

George Soros' $18 Billion Tax Dodge Exposed
Authored by Stephen Moore op-ed via The Wall Street Journal,
The wealthy have tucked billions into private nonprofits… where the IRS can't touch it.
Congress is still scrambling to find ways to pay for its tax cut, so perhaps it should pay closer attention to last month's news that George Soros had transferred $18 billion of his fortune to a private charity that he controls. There it will be sheltered from the Internal Revenue Service forever. This may be the single biggest tax dodge in U. S. history, yet no one on the right or left seems to have raised an eyebrow.

Silicon Valley Exec Has Created A New Religion That Will Worship A 'Godhead' Based On Artificial Intelligence
I know that the headline sounds absolutely crazy, but this is actually a true story. A Silicon Valley executive named Anthony Levandowski has already filed paperwork with the IRS for the nonprofit corporation that is going to run this new religion. Officially, this new faith will be known as 'Way Of The Future', and you can visit the official website right here. Of course nutjobs are creating 'new religions' all the time, but in this case Levandowski is a very highly respected tech executive, and his new religion is even getting coverage from Wired magazine…
The new religion of artificial intelligence is called Way of the Future. It represents an unlikely next act for the Silicon Valley robotics wunderkind at the center of a high-stakes legal battle between Uber and Waymo, Alphabet's autonomous-vehicle company. Papers filed with the Internal Revenue Service in May name Levandowski as the leader (or 'Dean') of the new religion, as well as CEO of the nonprofit corporation formed to run it.
So what will adherents of this new faith actually believe?
To me, it sounds like a weird mix of atheism and radical transhumanism. The following comes from Way of the Future's official website…
We believe in science (the universe came into existence 13.7 billion years ago and if you can't re-create/test something it doesn't exist). There is no such thing as 'supernatural' powers. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

The IRS Is Puzzled: Why Out Of 500,000 Coinbase Users, Only 900 Reported Gains Or Losses
Almost exactly one year ago, the IRS realized that it could be leaving billions of dollars on the table in the form of uncollected taxes, and launched a tax-evasion probe on the largest US Bitcoin exchange, Coinbase, seeking to identify all Coinbase users in the U. S. who 'conducted transactions in a convertible virtual currency' from 2013 to 2015.
In a vexing paradox for cryptocurrency traders who had hoped they could avoid the IRS indefinitely as someone, somewhere once may have mentioned, the higher the price of bitcoin rose, the more motivated the IRS was to obtain access to user transaction records. Or, as Bloomberg put it, "the exploding value of the cryptocurrency since its first real-world transaction in 2010 is one reason the U. S. Internal Revenue Service is pushing to see records on thousands of users of Coinbase Inc., one of the biggest U. S. online exchanges. The company's digital currency platform allows gains to be converted into old-fashioned dollars in transactions that the IRS alleges are going unreported."

Alimony Deduction May Vanish
The Trump Tax Reform is in part inspired by the Flat Tax idea of lowering the rate and eliminating deductions. Alimony, or spousal support, is often part of divorce agreements when there's a big discrepancy in earnings between the two parties and the marriage has endured for more than just a few years. The idea of some 'gold-digger' marrying a rich guy and then walking off with 50% of his wealth is really the stuff of fictional legend. Things acquired before a marriage are not suddenly 50% of the potential 'gold-digger's' new found wealth.
What is interest is the whole problem with alimony. In 2015, according to the data from the Internal Revenue Service, an estimated 598,888 taxpayers claimed the alimony deduction on their Form 1040. Those deductions came off the top of one's income. The IRS reported that total of more than $12.3 billion was deducted in 2015 for alimony payments.

Federal Bureaucrats Have Millions Of Dollars Worth Of Guns And Ammo, Whom Are They Planning To Battle?
During the last two years of the Obama administration (Fiscal Year 2015 – 2016), law enforcement agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security spent $138 million on new guns and ammunition. But what's strange, is that $20 million was spent on guns and ammunition for federal bureaucrats.
Four notable examples of paper pushers and bureaucrats arming up, according toForbes, are as follows:
1) The 2,300 Special Agents at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are now carrying AR-15's, P90 tactical rifles, and other heavy weaponry. Recently, the IRS armed up with $1.2 million in new ammunition. This was in addition to the $11 million procurement of guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment procured between 2006-2014. What could go wrong when tax collectors have guns?
2) The Small Business Administration (SBA) spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to load its gun locker with Glocks last year. The SBA wasn't alone in the purchase of guns either. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service modified their Glocks with silencers. And recently a vote on the bill to allow civilians the freedom to hunt with a silencer was 'indefinitely postponed.'

This Isn't A Joke: The IRS Just Hired Equifax To Safeguard Taxpayer Data
Just hours after Equifax CEO Rick Smith wrapped up his testimony before the House Energy and Commerce committee – the first in a series of Congressional 'fact-finding missions' about the hack – Politico reported that the IRS last week awarded the disgraced credit monitoring bureau with a $7.25 no-bid contract even as the company struggled to address suspicions that it mislead investors and customers by withholding information about one of the most damaging data breaches in US history.
Equifax famously waited more than a month to disclose that hackers had infiltrated its servers and absconded with the sensitive financial information of more than 140 million customers, sparking widespread outrage that only intensified after reporters discovered that several of the company's senior executives – including its CFO – cashed out of shares and options in the weeks before the company came clean about the hack.
According to the terms of the IRS contract, Equifax would be responsible for verifying taxpayer identities and help prevent fraud under a no-bid contract issued last week.
As if the IRS's decision to entrust the disgraced credit bureau with sensitive taxpayer data wasn't galling enough, the agency seemingly fast-tracked the contract by classifying it as a 'sole source order' – a designation that allows the agency to circumvent the bidding process by claiming a given vendor is the only one capable of executing the contract. However, the agency's justification for this designation is baffling, considering that there are two other credit bureaus in the US that offer a nearly identical suite of service

What If the Tax Donkeys Rebel?
I would hazard a guess that an increasing number of tax donkeys are considering dropping out as a means of increasing their happiness and satisfaction with life.
Since federal income taxes are in the spotlight, let's ask a question that rarely (if ever) makes it into the public discussion: what if the tax donkeys who pay most of the tax rebel? There are several likely reasons why this question rarely arises. 1. Most commentators may not realize that the vast majority of income taxes are paid by the top 10%–and that roughly 60% are paid by the top 4% of households. (A nice example of the Pareto Distribution, i.e. the 80/20 rule, which can be extended to the 64/4 rule.) As David Stockman noted in Trump's 1,500-word Airball, "Among the 148 million income tax filers, the bottom 53 million owed zero taxes in the most recent year (2014), and the bottom half (74 million) paid an aggregate total of just $45 billion. So let me be very clear. There was still $4 trillion left in the collective pockets of these 122 million taxpayers – even after the IRS had its way with them! By contrast, the top 4% or 6.2 million filers paid $802 billion in Federal income taxes. That amounted to nearly 58% of total Federal income tax payments."

Mnuchin Begins Selection Process For Trump's New IRS-Auditor-In-Chief
In just over six weeks, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen's term expires. This allows President Trump to choose a new IRS chief who may have two high-profile and sensitive jobs: helping implement the the president's proposed tax cuts and overseeing an audit of his tax returns.
Trump hasn't nominated anyone to replace Koskinen yet, but as Bloomberg reports, Koskinen, who was hired by President Barack Obama and is loathed by congressional Republicans, who tried to impeach him in 2016, is unlikely to be reappointed.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, whose department includes the Internal Revenue Service, is said to be in the early stages of the selection process, according to two people familiar with the matter.
We would imagine this will be the next target for the left – potentially leading to demands of recusal as the slightest perception that Trump is trying to influence the agency overseeing his audit or any tax-related probes of his campaign's ties to the Russian government would ignite a furor in Congress.

We Are Already In Depression (If Borrowing Money Is Not Income)
The U. S. economy is not as solid as it appears. Statistical anomalies hide profound weakness. I will examine actual GDP and actual employment. Warning: not for the faint of heart. Do you consider debt as income? Before you answer that, let's perform a thought experiment. Imagine that you had taken a long cruise last fall and charged $10,000 to an American Express card. When you did your taxes this year, would have told the IRS that you had $10,000 income from American Express? Of course you wouldn't. Suppose a major oil company issues $800 million worth of bonds to develop a new old field. Would the company report that as income to the stockholders or the IRS? Of course they wouldn't. I am sure those sound like silly questions as the answer is a self evident 'NO!' We do not consider borrowed money as income. It is a liability that must be paid back. Then why do we count Federal Government debt when measuring national income? I will leave speculation as to the 'why' to the readers and focus on the fact that we do count new Treasury Debt as income.

The Crushing of Equifax
Banks, credit card companies, and other Equifax customers squeal. Consumers (the product) squeal. Congress squeals. Investors squeal.
Equifax shares dropped another 16% during the day and after-hours on Wednesday to $97.51. They've now plunged 31%, or $44.82, in the four trading days since Equifax confessed that 143 million consumers had their data crown-jewels stolen when it was hacked. The stolen data is perfect for identity theft, such as getting a loan in your name, and tax fraud, such as getting a tax refund from the IRS in your name, with Kafkaesque consequences for you.
Investors, seeing what this might do to the company, have voted with their sell-button. Based on the 120.4 million shares outstanding as of June 30, the four-trading-day loss amounts to $5.4 billion.
The stink has been enormous, with Equifax having to back down from some of its most egregious solutions to this problem, including forcing consumers to give away their legal right to sue in order to sign up for its credit protection services. Equifax rescinded this requirement over the weekend, buckling under scathing criticism.

"Trump Should Be Concerned": Mueller Partners With "Elite" IRS Investigations Unit
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team of investigators are leaving no stone unturned in their crusade to find something they can use to try and turn a member of Trump's inner circle, The Daily Beast is reporting, citing a source close to Mueller, that the special counsel's office has teamed up with the IRS's Criminal Investigations Unit. The 'elite' IRS investigations squad will help ensure that investigators apply the maximum possible scrutiny to the finances of Trump's inner circle in an investigation that's nominally about election fraud.
Of course, the public has long been aware, thanks to Mueller's collaborators in the media, that his team has no solid evidence to support a charge of election fraud against Trump or members of his circle. And while this latest 'partnership' just confirms widely held suspicions that Mueller & Co. are grasping at straws, it could provide Mueller an opening to strike directly at the president, his family and closest advisers – or at least embarass Trump with a fresh batch of leaks.
First, as the Daily Beast points out, partnering with the IRS will allow Mueller's team to access Trump's tax returns, which we can only assume will promptly be leaked to one of the former FBI director's favorite journalists at the Washington Post or New York Times.

Leftists Worry As America's Tax System Is On The Verge Of Collapse
The burdensome and regulation filled tax system on those living in the 'land of the free' is more than likely on the verge of collapse. The IRS can't collect enough money, and the government spends too much. But the left is fighting to ensure the government continues to steal as much as possible.
If the tax system collapses, it'll be leftists we should worry about. If one in America even suggests to a leftist that they don't want to pay taxes (have the IRS steal their hard earned money) they are ridiculed, chastised, and accused of not wanting to help the poor. For now, the IRS has bigger fish to fry, but that won't last, as left-leaning rags everywhere suggest harsher and more aggressive means of taking from others. The IRS is ratcheting up their tax collecting and going after anyone who may have tried to keep some of their own money.
In March, federal agents raided the headquarters of equipment giant Caterpillar Inc, as part of a long-running investigation into whether the company owes $2 billion in back taxes and penalties for a scheme that allegedly shifted profits to Switzerland. Caterpillar isfighting the charges. – Vice

A New Currency Emerges As The Old Currency Withers Away, Welcome To The Transition – Episode 1355a
The following video was published by X22Report on Aug 14, 2017
The restaurant industry is experiencing a slow down in traffic and sales even with rising food and drink prices. Trump signs memo looking into the trade agreements with China. From all the indicators that are now out in the public domain the US economy is in a recession even though the Fed has not acknowledged it. IRS reports quarterly taxes are down 40% as more individuals are not paying up. Does the Fed have 6200 tons of gold, we don't because they will not allow anyone to audit it . Venezuela and many other countries are turning towards cryptocurrencies. The central banks are pushing to stop people from using cryptocurrencies, what we are witnessing is the transition into a new currency, a new system.

A future perspective on online slot machines
04 February 2012
Slots have come a long way in the past few years alone. The gameplay and graphics have improved dramatically with both Classic Slots and Video Slots and the recent introduction of i-Slots has given us a glimpse of what the not-too-distant future may hold for online slots.
As more and more software companies continue churning out their latest creations, some try to be more elaborate and unique than the last, whereas others have a winning formula and simply mass produce slots that are very similar, and only have minor differences in the themes they offer.
Classic Slots will always be around and there is very little that you can do with these. Then we take a step up to the more advanced Video Slots. These games included scatter symbols, wild symbols, free spins and bonus rounds. These slots really excited the players when they hit the scene and became widely available, instantly attracting a huge fan base.

Slot Machine Guide
30 March 2010
In principle online slot machines are no different to those that are found in traditional casinos around the world. The set up of online slot machines varies from game to game between 3, 5 and 7 reel displays.
Some people can be sceptical of online gambling due to its completely computerised nature, the world of online casinos has grown to such a level that it is so highly competitive and watched that any underhand trickery simply does not exist.

The Best Way to Play Progressive Slot Machines
04 November 2009
In both offline and online casinos, slot machines have become a popular way to gamble. One of the true dream makers of slot machines is the progressive slot jackpots, where you can choose from an array of life-changing jackpot games. The live jackpot tickers let you easily see how much you win if you hit the winning combination.
With every coin played, the value of the jackpot increases by a tiny proportion and as a general rule, only the players betting maximum credits per spin will be eligible for an attempt to win the top prize. Regardless of the number of credits per play, all the players contribute to the jackpot. Therefore, if you bet with less than the maximum number of coins required you are contributing to the progressive jackpot without ever having a chance of actually winning it. So remember to never play with less than the maximum number of credits to qualify for the jackpot. If you are trying to stretch your gambling session and want to play one coin at a time then it is best not to play progressive slot machines.
Whether you're playing at an online casino or in Las Vegas, it is every slot players dream to hit one of the huge progressive jackpots. In fact, the odds for winning a progressive jackpot are actually much better than those for winning the lottery. If you want to go after the big prize it is not a good idea to bet everything you have, but use a portion of your gambling money now and then to chase that progressive jackpot.

Points to Rewards – FreshPoints Guide.
Have you heard about FreshPoints? If not, here is a brief introduction about who they are and what they do.
FreshPoints is a mobile rewards program that allows you to receive points when you go grocery shopping. These points can then be turned into rewards, simply by shopping at any grocery store and scanning the barcode of your grocery items.
How does FreshPoints work?
- Once inside a grocery store, open the app and "check-in" to that store. You will receive 25 points just for doing this one action.
- Once home, scan the barcode on products you've purchased in order to receive points for them. Some items will receive more points than others.
- Afterwards, you can rate the products that you've scanned and share these ratings on your social media accounts to receive even more points.
- Once you've acquired enough points, you are able to redeem them for various gift cards or offers.
Who can be a member?
Anyone living within Canada can be a member of FreshPoints. You will also need an iPhone, iPad or iPhone with camera, as this app is not available on any other devices at the moment.
You can only have 1 account per person. This means that more than one person in your household can have an account, if you have multiple devices.
When are new offers available?
New FreshPoints offers are released every Friday afternoon. You will receive an email and you can also find these offers on MapleMoney.com, of course!
What can be scanned?
Any grocery item that is purchased in a grocery store can be scanned. This includes food and beverage products, pet food, household cleaning items (cleaners, air fresheners) and personal care items (shampoo, toilet paper).
Is there a check-in limit?
You are able to check-in 15 times per week and will receive 25 points per check-in.
Is there a scanning limit?
You are only able to scan 50 items within a 24 hour period. You will receive 5 points per scan.
What if I get asked to take a photo of an item I've scanned?
If a new item is scanned and there is no image for that item, FreshPoints will ask you to submit an image. There is a weekly limit of 50 new product image uploads a week and you will receive 5 points for every photo you submit.
What is a lottery scan?
This allows you to earn more than the base amount on the next item you scan. Think of it as bonus points!
How many points can I receive?
- Check-in: 25 points
- Submitting an image: 5 points
- Sharing on Facebook: 3 points
- Sharing on Twitter: 3 points
- Rate an item: 5 points
How long before I receive my reward?
Most of the rewards are digital and are sent via email. They are usually received within 2 business days. Physical rewards (Esso, Jack Astors, Subway gift cards) are sent via postal mail and can take up to 2 weeks to be received.
If you're going to be grocery shopping (and who doesn't have to grocery shop?), you might as well earn something for doing it and FreshPoints is a fantastic way to earn rewards for doing something you have to do anyway.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood—Revelation 1:5

Newly elected president Mrs Judith Stephenson opened the meeting of North Sunderland and Seahouses WI by welcoming all present, especially after our group meeting the previous week, which had been a great success.
She then introduced our guest speaker, Mr Nigel Barlow, on behalf of Northumbria Blood Bikes. Mr Barlow came into the meeting on his up-to-the-minute motorbike.
He gave an interesting insight into the workings of this very valuable charity, the work it does, the vehicles it maintains, the routes and hospitals it covers, and the voluntary staff who carry out this necessary service, carrying blood, specimens, fluids, medicines, platelets, and any other urgent supplies.
He updated us regarding the number of riders, bikes, cars and shift controllers, showed us the tracking devices, and spoke about the necessary ongoing fund-raising.
The charity works in conjunction with other services, such as the air ambulance, police, fire and auxiliary organisations.
He finished his interesting talk by allowing us to sit on the bike and take photographs – absolutely great. The bike was extremely comfortable, although much larger and heavier than we had thought. The approximate cost was £16,500.
Mrs Pat Stewart gave the vote of thanks and we settled down to refreshments before the meeting continued.
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and accepted, also the treasurer's report.
Future dates include our Strawberry Fair in the Methodist Church Hall, on Thursday, August 24, open to everybody, and an invitation from Embleton to join the group on July 11 for a cookery demonstration, at 2pm,
Ms Pat Minto updated us regarding pub lunches. The last one was at the Apple Inn, Lucker, which had been enjoyed by all. The next one will be on May 27, at the Longstone House Hotel, at 12.30pm.
Future plans include the purchase of a camera, plus a visit in December to a matinee pantomime.
The raffle was won by Mrs Peggy Wood and Mrs Pat Steward, and we were all delighted to learn that Mrs Val Hart had won the Domino Drive at Stannington recently.
The competition Survival Kit was won by Mrs Pat Hewitt and Mrs Carol Phillips.

UK— The Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA) has ditched TNS in favour of Ipsos Mori to run the third wave of its Touchpoints survey of multimedia usage in the UK.
Research director Lynne Robinson explained that the IPA chose Ipsos over TNS as it was able to derive its sample through re-contacts of respondents to the National Readership Survey, which Ipsos also holds the contract for.
This approach, Robinson said, would provide the IPA with a "high-quality sample in a very cost-effective way".
TNS has been involved in Touchpoints since 2004 when it was brought in to replace NOP, who had worked on an earlier unsuccessful trial of the survey.
Despite this week's appointment of a new supplier, Robinson said the Touchpoints methodology will remain relatively unchanged. Around 5,000 UK adults will be given electronic diaries in which they will record their whereabouts, who they were with, what they were doing and their mood at half-hour intervals over the course of a week.
Respondents will also be asked to complete a questionnaire on their general media use, their attitudes to a wide range of issues, their activities and their shopping habits.
Fieldwork will get under way in September and the results of the survey are expected to be made available in July next year. Wave Three data was originally intended for release during 2009. Robinson blamed the delay on the recession.
Once the 'hub' survey data is published it will be fused with the UK's various media currencies – including Barb (TV), NRS (print) and Rajar (radio) – to create an integrated planning database (IPD) that will be made available a few months later.
Robinson said the IPA would "very much hope" to have web audience measurement data from the UK Online Measurement Company (UKOM) ready for integration with the IPD this time around. UKOM is currently in talks to appoint Nielsen Online as its official supplier of industry-agreed web audience data.
