Albertans fire back at celebrity critics of oilsands, Keystone
Negative comments from celebrities about the oilsands and Keystone XL are raising the ire of Albertans, who are thumbing their noses back.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Tired of being targeted by celebrity critics of the oilsands and Keystone pipeline project, Albertan officials and residents are firing back and telling Hollywood to mind its own business.
In the latest counter-punch Tuesday, Alberta Premier Alison Redford took a swipe at recent remarks by singer Neil Young and actor/director Robert Redford, who have slammed the oilsands as a blight on the environment and too high a toll for the oil produced.
On Monday, Robert Redford released a video urging Washington to reject the Keystone pipeline. And at an event in Washington last week, Young compared Fort McMurray to Hiroshima.
Speaking to reporters from China, where she's on a trade mission, Premier Redford said Tuesday that the comments lack credibility, given those same celebrities are denouncing the very resource that allows them to get around on airplanes.
Alison Redford says she will continue to spread the message that the oilsands can provide energy to the world in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way.
Locals, meanwhile, are also having their say, with Fort McMurray up in arms, and other residents taking to Twitter to vent their anger at the stars, whom they see as sticking their noses where they don't belong.
In Fort McMurray — the home base for the oilsands — a radio station has instituted a ban on playing Neil Young records, a bold move given the legendary Canadian singer's virtually untouchable status in this country.
"Our basic logic is why should we be promoting the reputation of somebody who is spreading lies and misinformation about the community up here?'' Tyler King, the station's program director said in an interview.
"The city doesn't resemble Hiroshima one bit,'' King said, calling Young's comments "ridiculous.''
On Twitter, Kent MacKenzie, who was born and raised in the prairies according to his profile, tweeted this barb Tuesday: "How come oil companies can't sue these #Hollywoodairbags for slander? Or at least make them prove their erroneous claims?''
"All our residents are outraged by the negative comments about our beautiful community,'' says Fort McMurray resident Sheila Chartrand, who co-owns a local catering service with her husband Real in Fort McMurray, which has a population of 61,400.
The Keystone XL Pipeline would carry Alberta oilsands bitumen to Texas refineries if the project is approved by U.S. President Barack Obama.

Welfare & Subsidiarity
May Tue 26, 2009
All the articles in Welfare & Subsidiarity
President Barack Obama, has taken two significant steps to initiate a broad and comprehensive reform of the health care system in the United States.
In the first and most significant step to date, Obama included funding for health care in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 [ (Pub.L. 111-5), an economic stimulus package enacted by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on February 17, 2009. More than 11% of the $787 billion economic stimulus package has been earmarked for various uses within the health care sector, $19 billion of which will fund a completely new initiative, a health information technology system that will track patient records so that they will be easily accessible to all medical personnel treating a given patient; also, when a patient's symptoms and diagnoses are entered into the new computerized system, it will rule out expensive therapies, as well as suggest less expensive therapies. On March 20, the Obama Administration named Dr. David Blumenthal to be the national coordinator for the new health information technology. Blumenthal and the US Department of Health and Human Services estimate that implementing the new computerized system will save the Federal Government $12 million in health costs over a ten-year period.
Some commenters have expressed concern that the cost-saving drive will lead to rationing of medical treatment, especially for the poor and those at the end of life. Betsy McCaughey, former lieutenant governor of New York and adjunct senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, writes, "One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and 'guide' your doctor's decisions (442, 446)... The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost- effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council (464). The Federal Council... approves or rejects treatments using a formula that divides the cost of the treatment by the number of years the patient is likely to benefit. Treatments for younger patients are more often approved than treatments for diseases that affect the elderly..."
The second significant step that President Obama has taken to reform the health care system in the United States reflects his method of approaching problems. Across the United States, President Obama has convened more than 3,200 Health Care Community Discussions, in which he has gathered information that was then compiled and analyzed. Having gathered this data, he has held various meetings with stakeholders and citizens, in which representatives of the insurance industry, physicians' associations, and patients were asked to sit down together to address certain questions and to provide new ideas toward solutions to the inefficiencies in the US health care system (View Report).
This method of gathering testimonies and opinions aids in building the impression that the President is not wedded to his own ideas or solutions; and it underlines his stated view that the more people who apply themselves to a given problem, the better the solution will be. This method may or may not lead to real solutions to the problems with health care in the United States, but it seems to be a very effective way to spread the blame should the final solution prove to be wrong.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Report- Glencross Agrees To Terms With Calgary
by Paul on 05/16/11 at 11:23 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Vicki Hall of the Calgary Herald,
Strike Curtis Glencross off the sheet of players set to test the open market on July 1. The scrappy left-winger has agreed to terms on a multiyear deal with the National Hockey League club.
Terms have yet to filter out, but the Glencross camp was seeking a significant raise on his $1.2 million salary and longterm security for at least four or five years.
A new dad, Glencross also liked the idea of a no-movement clause to protect his young family from the sudden upheaval of a trade.
Team officials refused comment Sunday night. Saskatoon-based agent David Kaye did not return phone calls.
Update 1:18pm ET: via TSN—
Curtis Glencross won't be testing the free-agent market; the 28-year-old forward agreeing to terms on a four-year, $10.2 million deal with the Calgary Flames.
The deal, which has a no-movement clause, is a $2.55 million annual cap hit against the club.

Kansas 4Th Dui Laws
As soon as you happen to be released on bond, it is now time to take care of this problem. Kansas 4Th Dui Laws could actually help. Bear in mind, in some places, a DUI charge creates 2 distinct legal cases. One is filed involving the Department of Motor Vehicles while the other is a criminal legal lawsuit.
Even while an initial DUI conviction might include significant court fines, jail time together with a suspension of your current driver's license, the fees and penalties may very well be more painful. If a young child is within your car, you had been exceeding the speed limit, displayed a high blood alcohol level or even had earlier offenses you can find the fees and penalties a great deal more damaging. Therefore, read through each one of these resources here, Kansas 4Th Dui Laws, to discover how you might stop a DUI conviction.

PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Even if he had not withdrawn his high bid, Cranston state Rep. Peter Palumbo would not have been able to be awarded the contract to run concession stands at state beaches.
A RI Ethics Commission regulation prohibits General Assembly members from taking any other employment with the state ŌĆō explicitly including being an independent contractor ŌĆō until one year after he or she leaves the legislature.
That shines a new spotlight on the situation in which Palumbo was the high bidder for a contract to run concession stands at three state beaches, only to withdraw his $1.7 million bid, which then went to then-Democratic Party Chairman David Caprio for $1.5 million. Caprio then turned around and hired Palumbo to manage the concessions.
Ethics Commission regulation 36-14-5007 states: ŌĆ£No member of the General Assembly shall seek or accept state employment, not held at the time of the memberŌĆÖs election, while serving in the General Assembly and for a period of one (1) year after leaving legislative office. For purposes of this regulation, ŌĆ£employmentŌĆØ shall ŌĆ" include service as an independent contractor or consultant to the state or any state agency, whether as an individual or a principal of an entity performing such service.ŌĆØ
Jason Gramitt, staff attorney and education coordinator for the RI Ethics Commission confirmed the regulation but said because the commission has received no complaints about the beach contract brouhaha, he couldnŌĆÖt comment on that case.
Palumbo is currently managing the concession stands at Scarborough, Roger Wheeler and Misquamicut state beaches, but he is doing so as an employee of CaprioŌĆÖs company. Caprio, who stepped down as Democratic State Chairman shortly after news of the contracts broke, is a former state
representative but has been out of the General Assembly since early 2011.
Common Cause RI Executive Director John Mario said Thursday that, from his reading of the regulation, which carries the force of law, Palumbo could have run afoul of it simply by bidding on the contract. Marion pointed to a 2011 advisory opinion issued by the ethics commission to Rep. Jared Nunes, who had been elected the previous November. Nunes was told that a company of which he is part owner, R.T. Nunes & Sons, could continue plowing snow for the state under an existing contract, but that he was barred by the regulation from seeking new contract.
ŌĆ£The General Assembly control the budget of every state agency,ŌĆØ Marion told The Times. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs reasonable for the person who controls the purse strings not to be able to then seek employment from the state. They could use their role as a member of the legislature to create employment for themselves.ŌĆØ
Marion said he is ŌĆ£not convinced we need to necessarily change state law or the code of ethics, as some candidates have suggested, I think the law just has to be enforced.ŌĆØ
At an impromptu news conference after an unrelated event Thursday morning, Gov. Lincoln Chafee said the probe into the contracts was not prompted by a TV news report earlier this week. He said the RI State Police ŌĆ£were already shoulder-deepŌĆØ into the investigation, which he said started weeks ago.
Responding to GOP gubernatorial candidate Allan FungŌĆÖs call for the contract to be scrapped and re-bid, Chafee said state officials ŌĆ£are going to let the investigation play out and weŌĆÖll move forward with whatever needs to be done.
ŌĆ£Of course it troubles me,ŌĆØ Chafee said when asked about the beach concession dust-up. ŌĆ£Let them continue with the investigation and weŌĆÖll go forward with whatever needs to be done,ŌĆØ the governor told reporters. ŌĆ£If we need some change weŌĆÖll do that.ŌĆØ
On the question of whether state representatives should be bidding on state contracts, Chafee said, ŌĆ£thatŌĆÖs what weŌĆÖre looking at, the ethics and thatŌĆÖs why the state police are involved.ŌĆØ
Asked about a release from his office Wednesday that said, ŌĆ£no state agency or the Governor's Office will take action during any inquiries,ŌĆØ Chafee said, ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt know if thatŌĆÖs accurate. IŌĆÖve known about the investigation, I have not gotten involved in it. IŌĆÖve let the State Police do their work, which they do, always admirably. If we need to hand it over to the attorney generalŌĆÖs office for prosecution that will happen.ŌĆØ
Questions about the legal and ethical implications of CaprioŌĆÖs winning bid, ŌĆ£are appropriate and should be asked and answered,ŌĆØ Chafee said.
ŌĆ£People have a jaundiced view of public service and peopleŌĆÖs reasons for seeking public office and this reinforces that,ŌĆØ Marion said. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs just the appearance that people seek political office for private gain and we all know the vast majority of people donŌĆÖt do that.ŌĆØ

Leigh's Gregg McNally may miss return to Whitehaven
Last updated at 11:41, Wednesday, 13 February 2013
Gregg McNally could miss a return home to Whitehaven tomorrow with Leigh – over the birth of his baby.
The Recre scholarship kid produced one of the most stunning debuts in Haven's history when he claimed a hat-trick at 17 in a home win over eventual champs Salford on Sky TV in 2008. But a question mark now hangs over his appearance for the Centurions in front of Premier Sports' cameras.
Leigh boss Paul Rowley said: "His wife is due to give birth, I think in the next two or three days, so you might not see him. Gregg has been doing brilliant for us. He has settled in really well, is a really likeable lad and a good character.
"People forget his age. He is only 21 but seems to have been around for a lifetime. He is a young lad who is still learning and developing. He has good lads around him, and no egos. It's probably like a step back in time to when he was at Whitehaven, which he speaks of very fondly."
The ex-Kells junior, in his second season at Leigh after a stint at Huddersfield, featured at scrum-half for Haven but has developed in to a talented full-back.
"He took to the role like a duck to water," said Rowley. "It gives him time, space and vision. We've given him a bit of freedom and let him express himself."
Rowley is less than happy over the timing of the trip to Cumbria, brought forward three days to be shown live on Premier Sports.
"I would rather not be coming on a Thursday, obviously. There are no big dramas, but you would think they could have been done more sensibly," he added.
He said it would have made sense to instead show Haven's Cumbrian derbies, to cut down on long midweek trips. Haven's Easter clash with Workington Town will be shown on TV.

Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 9600 GT 1GB vs GeForce GT 430 1GB
IntroThe GeForce 9600 GT 1GB has core clock speeds of 650 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory. It features 64 SPUs along with 32 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.
Compare those specifications to the GeForce GT 430 1GB, which comes with a core clock speed of 700 MHz and a GDDR3 memory frequency of 900 MHz. It also features a 128-bit bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 96 SPUs, 16 Texture Address Units, and 4 ROPs.
(No game benchmarks for this combination yet.)
Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks
Power Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory Bandwidth
Theoretically speaking, the GeForce 9600 GT 1GB will be 100% faster than the GeForce GT 430 1GB in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 9600 GT 1GB should be much (more or less 86%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 430 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce 9600 GT 1GB should be much (approximately 271%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 430 1GB, and will be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.
Price Comparison
Please note that the price comparisons are based on search keywords - sometimes it might show cards with very similar names that are not exactly the same as the one chosen in the comparison. We do try to filter out the wrong results as best we can, though.
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.

Today's Runes for Jennifer Garner
spread is used at critical turning points, to understand the dynamics of an important decision.
Ice Runes
are most commonly used for questions about struggle, conflict, and achievement.
The left rune represents
the first possible outcome
is the rune of riding, as in a cart or as cargo. It is seen here reversed, suggesting a disruption of travel or communication. Etiological analysis of this rune has also given it interpretations of advice or justice, and of being in a position of moral correctness. Reversed, there is an indication of the lack of solid council, or the holding of a position that is not morally sound.
The right rune represents
the second possible outcome
is the rune of chance and gambling. Throw the dice, read your fate. Gaming is a fine way to pass the night...as long as one is careful. Games of chance have outcomes that are hidden from us, and as such Perth represents secrets unknown. Perth symbolizes enjoyment and wild abandon, but be watchful, for Perth is also the rune of mystery and the outcomes unexpected. You cannot lose if you do not play, but neither can you win...
The bottom rune represents
the critical factor
that determines what will come to pass.
, the birch tree, is representative of rebirth, fertility, and a positive outcome to ventures undertaken. It is also the rune of families. Here the rune is reversed, warning you to be heedful of new beginnings, lest they sour. Rebirth is either delayed, or totally disrupted. There is also a warning of family troubles.

Canada Footballer Christine Sinclair 'Best in The World,' U.S. Goalkeeper Claims
- Order Reprints

By Sounak Mukhopadhyay | May 7, 2014 2:28 PM EST
Christine Sinclair, the Canadian footballer, received the ultimate compliment from her arch-rival. U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo called Sinclair the "best player" in the world in women's football.
REUTERS/Jeff J Mitchell
U.S. women#s soccer players Briana Scurry (L), Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain celebrate after beating Brazil in the gold medal match at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games August 26, 2004.
Solo is scheduled to face Sinclair in an encounter on Thursday, May 8 when Canada will compete against the U.S. football team. The goalkeeper said that she believed that Sinclair was the best in her "humble opinion." She said that she had the belief for a long time. Solo said that Sinclair's brilliance could not always be seen because she did not "have the support players" all the time. However, Solo thought that the Canadian player was "starting to get the support players" and she needed to "really highlight her own play."
Vancouver Sun reported that Solo ranked Sinclair even above Marta, the Brazilian footballer who received FIFA World Player of the Year for five times. She also placed her higher on the list of brilliance over her co-player Abby Wambach. It is Wambach who is the leading goal-scorer in women's football.
According to Solo, Sinclair "plays both sides of the ball." While Marta "can score goals after getting "the ball with her feet," Sinclair "reads the game, she passes, she gets assists and she's dangerous every time she gets the ball." Solo said that she had "looked up to her" and "admired her as a player for a really long time." On the other hand, Solo is not the only one who happens to be an ardent admirer of Sinclair's talent. Canadian midfielder Desiree Scott said that Sinclair was "sort of that pivotal girl" for the team. She said that Sinclair made "everything tick" while being "the one" they could rely on.
Thursday's match is going to be another acid test for Canada which defeated the U.S. football team last time in 2001. Canada presently holds the seventh position in the world ranking while the United States tops the list in women's football.

Tretton On Next-Gen Xbox: "We've Seen Competitors Come And Go"
Posted on Monday, February 25 @ 12:54:00 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Microsoft is expected to blow the lid off of their next-gen console very soon, and we here at GameRevolution can't wait to see what Sony's competition has in store.
In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, SCEA's Jack Tretton made it clear that the company isn't terribly concerned about what Microsoft has up its sleeve. "We've always had different competitors," Tretton explained. "We were in the space before Microsoft and we may be in the space after Microsoft. We've seen competitors come and go."
That said, Sony will most certainly be keeping close watch on what Microsoft does with its next console. "I think we are mindful of what they do and quite frankly we think that anything that adds tension and success in the gaming industry is good for us. So we are aware of the competition but we are kind of marched towards our own strategy. And we are very confident that holiday 2013 is a great time to bring out the PlayStation 4," he added.
What does Microsoft have to do to prove to consumers that they have what it takes to compete against Sony's upcoming console? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

New Museum Presents The Parade: Nathalie Djurberg with Music by Hans Berg
The New Museum's third exhibition for its recently inaugurated 'Studio 231' series in the museum's adjacent, ground-floor space at 231 Bowery will be "The Parade: Nathalie Djurberg with Music by Hans Berg," on view now through August 26, 2012
This is Djurberg's most ambitious multimedia installation to date. Originally organized by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Djurberg will adapt this installation for the New Museum's 'Studio 231' space.
In the hands of Swedish artist Nathalie Djurberg, animation becomes a medium for transgressive and nightmarish allegories of desire and malcontent. Since 2001, she has honed a distinctive style of filmmaking, using the pliability of clay to dramatize our most primal urges—jealousy, revenge, greed, submission, and gluttony.
Set to music and sound effects by her collaborator, Hans Berg, Djurberg's videos plumb the dark recesses of the mind, drawing sometimes disturbing connections between human psychology and animal behavior. Increasingly, the artists' interdisciplinary collaborations have blurred the cinematic, the sculptural, and the performative in immersive environments that pair moving images and musical compositions with related set pieces.
For new work, The Parade (2011), she has created five captivating animations and an unnerving
menagerie of more than eighty freestanding bird sculptures. Drawing on avian physiology, rituals of mating and territorial display, and the social phenomenon of flocking, she has assembled a fantastical procession of species all fashioned from modest materials such as clay, wire, and painted canvas. These hybrid, sometimes monstrous forms speak to the artist's recurring interest in physical and psychological transformation, as well as pageantry, perversion, and abjection. In the accompanying claymation videos, humans and animals alike act out upsetting scenarios of torture, humiliation, and masquerade, further mining the interplay of brutality and guilt at the heart of Djurberg's work. Berg's eerie film scores— Nathalie Djurberg, The Parade, 2011.
The exhibition is curated by Eric Crosby and Dean Otto for the Walker Art Center and organized at the New Museum by Gary Carrion-Murayari, Curator.

For failing to sign top overall pick Brady Aiken, the Houston Astros will get the 2nd pick in 2015 draft as well their their regular pick. The teams with the 10 worst records (top 11 picks) have their first round pick protected if they signed a qualified free agent this offseason.

The Cubs have optioned Tyler Colvin and Marcus Mateo to Triple A and called up lefty Scott Maine and speedster Tony Campana.
Maine was sporting a 2.84 ERA in Iowa, striking out 21 in 19 IP, while walking just 8. Hard to imagine he'll be any worse than what he is replacing.
Campana was sporting a good luck line of 342/383/442 in Iowa earning his promotion. I wish him well, but he'll be hard pressed to find enogh playing time and such good luck in the majors(.423 BABIP in Iowa this season). He does bring speed with him, being successful in 8 of 9 stolen base attempts this year and 144/186 for his minor league career (77.2%). Of course, Yadier Molina wasn't playing in those leagues during the same time, so he probably won't see that success translate either.
Colvin did need to start getting some regular at-bats, although it's hard to figure out why he can't get them over Fukudome, Byrd or Soriano. For a team that already hits plenty of singles without walking much and in desperate need of some power, Colvin seemed closer to a cure than Campana, but neither will be effective without regular use.
It's also of note, as mentioned in the comments, that the Cubs are about to begin interleague play at American League parks starting off at Boston this Friday. Barring injury, Colvin cannot be recalled now for 10 days, leaving the Cubs DH options Reed Johnson, Castillo, DeWitt, Campana and Baker or more likely one of those play the field while the likes of Ramirez, Soriano and so forth get a defensive rest day. It's foresight like that keeps a century-plus losing streak alive.
Anyway, the appropriate deck chairs have been moved on this Titanic. May the disaster continue...
Will CJ project out as a reliever in your view? Any other kids you have seen out there project as a potential TOR starter, or is Pierce Johnson about it? Have you seen Carson Sands yet? I remember you telling us about Chris Archer a "long time ago" when I would ask. Of course we know now Trey McNutt is better. Glad Jim Hendry realized it.
That was very bad.
Yet good.
High time they got "mad".
Dude. Perfect. Long sustained golf clap.

Nats exercised Denard Span's option. There was some discussion about Cubs interest in him if that option was declined. Move on, there is nothing here.
List of 121 players (including Cubs RHP Carlos Villanueva) who were declared MLB Article XX-B free agents this morning: link These players were automatically removed from their club's 40-man roster at 9 AM (Eastern) today. The club retains exclusive negotiating rights with the player through 11:59 PM (Eastern) Monday night, after which the player is free to sign with any club.
Yeah, I am with you on that, I had a guest post examining the Cubs drafts throughout history this past June:
It lists all players with 3.0+ career WAR by draft year.
True. But Vitters brought to you by the same team that gave us other 1st round busts like Hayden Simpson, Mark Pawelek, Ben Christensen, Bobby Brownlie, Jerry Tabb, Scot Thompson, Drew Hall, Make Harkey, Ty Griffin, Lou Montanez, Tyler Colvin, and Brooks Kieschnick.
j.heyward 24.5...dude wut?
I thought it was funny because Vitters was released yesterday and looked up the 2007 draft and then vomited on my desk.

London rents rise twice as fast as rest of Britain

Published: 17 May 2013
London rents have hit a record high of £1,110 a month after rising at nearly double the rate of the rest of the country during April, alarming new figures showed today.
The lastest buy-to-let index from Reeds Rain and Your Move owner LSL Property Services showed rents rising across all regions of England and Wales for the first time since November 2011.
Rents in London are now 7.6 per cent higher than a year ago, compared with the average 3.9 per cent annual increase across England and Wales as a whole.
LSL chief executive David Newnes said: "Despite a year-on- year increase across the board, the divergence between London and the rest of the country is continuing."
The rent squeeze comes at a time when average wages are growing at the slowest rate for four years. In the capital, rents are also growing at three times the official rate of inflation, currently 2.8 per cent.
While the Bank of England's Funding for Lending scheme is bringing down mortgage costs, buyers still need to put up big deposits and a shortage of supply is also pushing up prices in London.
Average rents across the country reached £736 and although tenant finances improved marginally over the month there is still £282 million in outstanding arrears, LSL added.
"For the tenants still struggling the most it could be some time before their ship comes in," Newnes added.

D'Angelo wins Christmas field and game shoot
Gino D'Angelo beat more than 100 competitors to take out this year's Echuca-Moama Field and Game Club Christmas shoot last weekend.December 25, 2012 4:04am
Echuca-Moama Field and Game Club president Tim Finnegan was delighted when 109 competitors attended the club's 68 target novelty event and Christmas dinner last Sunday.
It was Finnegan himself, with help from George Shawcross, who was largely responsible for the eight station 34 target ground, shot twice by those competing.
While shoot-offs determined placings in several categories, the day's overall star was Kyabram's Gino D'Angelo.
D'Angelo shot a modest 28/34 in his first round, before storming to the lead with an amazing 32/34 in round two.
As his missed targets were on the first and last stations, D'Angelo actually shot 29 targets straight during his high gun winning final round.
The day's other winners included several district members, as well as a cross section of visitors from many other parts of Victoria and NSW.
Some familiar names to win AA grade were Rod Wharton whose 57/68 beat course designer Finnegan by two shots.
Nick Kalogerakis finished third.
Russell Chaplin also shot 57/68 to win A grade and he also had a two-shot margin over Craig Lanyon.
Alan Fletcher held off a host of other high scorers to clinch third place.
B grade winner was district shooter Grant Scott, who has been in good form on most of his recent visits to the range.
He ended the day with a neat 50, four shots clear of his nearest rivals.
Vin Molluso and Shane Norris had to contest a shoot-off before Molluso could claim second, leaving Norris third.
Competition was also tight in C grade, with district shooters Stewart McKenner and Brett Healey shooting 40 apiece.
Assisted by son Oliver's coaching advice, Wes Draper held his nerve in a shoot-off for third.
Barrook's Doug Frankling and Stan Archard took the gold and silver in veterans, leaving the consistent Roger Kerslake with the bronze.
Young Chloe Shorland handled the pressure of her shoot-off well, and so ended a comfortable women's winner after initially finishing level with Vicki Norris.
Ballarat visitor Tarsha Cooper was third in a competitive women's division.
Capping off a successful year, Jayden Roe shot 57/68 to win under 18 comfortably, ahead of Rhys Martin and another young local, Jake Chandler.
Closer scores appeared in the under 15s, with another D'Angelo beating Dylan Robertson and Sam Spedding.
It was Gino's son, Jordan, who put together two solid rounds and finished with a credible 47/68.
As well as extending season's greetings to all at the official presentations, president Finnegan also announced the winner of the two Echuca-Moama Field and Game Club annual perpetual trophies.
The aggregate trophy is awarded to the member whose total targets shot over the year, plus relevant handicap at each shoot, is the highest.
The champion trophy goes to the member with the highest total from their best 20 rounds of 25 targets over the year.
Reflecting a year of regular attendance and consistent performance, both trophies were won by the same shooter, Ricky Keirl.
Keirl's winning score for the handicap trophy was an impressive 721 out of a possible 825 targets presented to him in 33 rounds over the year.
The win completes a hat-trick of wins in the category for Keirl.
Given that his handicap has mostly been one or two all year, compared to handicaps as high as nine for others, this has been a great effort.
Finnegan finished in second place with a total of 685.
As club champion, Keirl's best 20 rounds totalled 439, an average score per round of 21.9 per 25 targets.
Next best with a total of 417 was Steve Norris.
Norris was club champion in 2010, and runner-up to wife Kelly last year.
Results: high gun: Gino D'Angelo, Kyabram (60/68) 1; AA grade: Rod Wharton, Deniliquin (57/68) 1, Tim Finnegan, Echuca Moama, (55/68) 2, Nick Kalogerakis, Shepparton (52/68) 3; A grade: Russell Chaplin, Deniliquin (57/68) 1, Craig Lanyon, Bendigo (55/68) 2, Alan Fletcher, Barrook (54/68) 3; B grade: Grant Scott, Echuca-Moama (54/68) 1, Vinnie Molluso, Pinegrove (56/77) 2, Shane Norris, Kyabram (53/77) 3; C grade: Stewart McKenner, Echuca-Moama (40/68) 1, Brett Healey, Echuca-Moama (40/68) 2, Wes Draper, Echuca-Moama (44/77) 3; veterans: Doug Frankling, Barrook (53/68) 1, Stan Archard, Barrook (51/68) 2, Roger Kerslake, Echuca-Moama (53/77) 3; women: Chloe Shorland, Pinegrove (45/77) 1, Vicki Norris, Kyabram 40/77 2, Tarsha Cooper, Ballarat (32/68) 3; under 18: Jayden Roe, Deniliquin (57/68) 1, Rhys Martin, Seymour (43/68) 2, Jake Chandler, Echuca-Moama (26/68) 23; under 15: Jordan D'Angelo, Kyabram (47/68) 1, Dylan Robertson, Echuca-Moama (44/68) 2, Sam Spedding, Echuca-Moama (41/68) 3.
Competition resumes in the new year at 10am on Sunday, January 20, with a 75-target graded event.

You should be able to use either of these amps with no problem. Simply purchase a standard 1/8in to RCA Stereo cable and you are good to go.
I think this a logical way to approach things, you can't appreciate or even use a good DAC or CD Player until you have an amp.
I can't seem to find the input sensitivity, or many other specs for that matter, on the importer's website. But most amps conform to a somewhat standard 2 volts for full output.
So while the MP3 player would not be the ideal longterm match to realize the amp or phones full potential, it will still sounds worlds better than straight out of the player with no amp.
Lastly, I don't know how you acquire your music: CD's imported yourself or buying music online. If you rip you own CD's try to use a lossless encoding medium. You don't want to leave musical information on the table from the very beginning.
I don't have a lot of direct experience with either of these amps but I tend to prefer the circuit topology and tubes of the Darkvoice;It is very similar to the Woo Audio WA3.
The Woo lists for $495 but you might be able to find one on the For Sale forums for a bit less.
Enjoy your journey!

Ive also been looking at some of the little dot amps, if you have an ipod you could find a 3.5mm - RCA or iPod - RCA cable that should work? (im not sure i have never tried it :S maybe someone could answer this for me?)post #4 of 68/18/11 at 2:19pmThread Starter
yesterday i decided to go with with darkvoice 336 se, from what i read it a good amp, and i found that moon audio make mini to rca in blue dragon ( my headphone cable is blue dragon) the sound should be nice.
my music is mp3 format 320 kbp, got most of my music from itune, i could probably get them into flac or hoter format with help of programQuote:

do not upconvert your 320kbps mp3 to flac...
either re-rip your songs from cd straight into flac or download them
your m1 is good as a mp3, but what vinyllp33 meant is that its SQ is still not as good as if you lineout from your pc, something like dac > amp > phonespost #6 of 68/19/11 at 3:12pmThread Starter
so pc dac is the hightest sound quality. that something ill try get later, for geting my music in flac... it not all music that can be bought in flac or even in cd, like for andy blueman (cant find cd), but i got my music from itune, are they at full quality when bought? cos i could get them in flac.Return HomeBack to Forum: Headphone Amps (full-size)
