The cool factor is not in question; neither is the unparalleled convenience. But if you're into cutting costs, cutting coupons and cutting your own hair, hotel-inspired condo living — the type that involves phoning down to the concierge to make sure your Labradoodle has been walked — is pure fantasy.
So, what's wrong with a little fantasy?
The fact is, there's a large, privileged segment of the population for whom this type of residence fills a real niche. Particularly for those who travel a lot — business people, politicians, professional athletes, well-to-do retirees — the combination of a private home with the amenities of an upscale hotel couldn't be more welcome.
Hotel-inspired condos have been around for a number of years, but they're just beginning to make a real impact in Canadian cities, including Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver.
Some marketers use the term loosely to describe any condo complex with terrific amenities, but it's more properly reserved for those that provide residents with genuine hotel-style services. In most cases, this is done by developing a highrise condo whose lower floors comprise an upscale hotel.
In a way, it's a no-brainer. The developer is able to offer residents a full complement of top-notch services only because they're guaranteed to be used by out-of-town guests. The hybrid also makes for a lively and interesting community — a mix of familiar and fresh faces in the lounge, by the pool, at the cafe downstairs.
It's important to make the distinction between hotel-inspired condos and condo hotels, also known as "condotels." The latter are condos that are marketed to buyers who fully intend to rent out the space when they're not using it, with the assistance of a management company.
These typically appeal to those who plan to spend just a few months of the year in their residence and who are happy to make a bit of money in lieu of having their unit collect dust.
Condotels are often located in ski resort towns and warm weather destinations. They're usually taxed at a higher rate than typical residences, as they're regarded as a commercial venture.
Hotel-inspired condos, on the other hand, are targeted to people who want a bona fide home; a space on which they can put their personal stamp and where the staff know their name. Among their hotel-like characteristics:
- They have a location that befits an urban hotel. That is, they're usually downtown, at the heart of the action, well-served by taxis and public transit. They often boast amazing city views.
- They have a hotel esthetic. The common areas and elements of the residences are often designed by big-time designers; the names Brian Gluckstein and Cecconi Simone may ring some bells.
The current prevailing look is elegant, neutral and sleek; original artwork lines the walls. Over time, we can look forward to seeing new residences exhibit different personalities, from Old-World opulence to pop-inspired exuberance.
- They have a 24-hour concierge. A good concierge is your key to the city — even if you're city-born and -bred. You may not need a street map or a restaurant recommendation, but your concierge will likely have better luck than you will making that last-minute reservation at the latest hot spot. He or she has connections and knowledge that will actually make your life easier, whether you're looking for a tailor or tickets to the game.
- They offer the options of room service, housekeeping and luggage handling. The degree to which you use these services depends on you. The low-maintenance owner may call in a housekeeper once a year to polish things up before a cocktail party. Others may regularly call from the airport to have the heat turned up, the bed turned down and a favourite bottle put on ice.
- Finally, they have amenities that will knock your socks off. In addition to the pool, fitness club, hot tub, theatre, party room — de rigueur in most upscale condos — they offer true hotel perks such as spa treatments, personal fitness training and fine dining.
Hotel-inspired condo living doesn't come cheaply. On the other hand, it's hard to think of a more affordable way to have a butler, cook and maid at your beck and call.
For the financially fortunate, this type of residence represents luxury at its most sensible.
Everyone else can save up for a grand weekend at the latest condo hotel and live the dream for a night or two.

Dyche: United need time to adapt
Burnley manager Sean Dyche believes it will take time for Manchester United to adapt to Louis van Gaal's 3-5-2 formation because it is so "radical."
Van Gaal takes United to Turf Moor on Saturday hoping to win his first match at the fourth time of asking against Dyche's winless Clarets.
Failure to do so would provide further gloom around Old Trafford, with the initial optimism which surrounded Van Gaal's appointment quickly dissipating following defeats to Swansea and MK Dons and a draw at Sunderland last Sunday.
Sean Dyche will look to inflict more misery on Manchester United
Dyche does not subscribe to the theory that United are in turmoil, though, and insists it will take time for players to get to grips with their Dutch manager's ideology.
"I think the word 'crisis' is harsh looking at their players," said Dyche.
"They've got some fine players. With tactical formats, I do think the 3-5-2 is the most radical change so it takes time for that to work. The power of Manchester United and the market means he may have ideas and designs over the next few days to get certain players who can do roles he feels that are not being done as well.
"I don't know him, I've never worked with anyone who knows him. It will be interesting to have a coffee with him and ask him (about 3-5-2).
"I don't know whether I'd get that chance but I would be interested in that. I'm a young manager learning and I'm always interested to hear what they have to say. If we do get that time I will ask him.
"From the outside it looks like he's strong in that philosophy, he believes it can work and he's going to mould the team accordingly and possibly add to it as he sees fit."
United smashed the British transfer record to sign Argentina forward Angel Di Maria for £59.7million from Real Madrid earlier this week, but it remains to be seen which position Van Gaal will utilise him in at Turf Moor.
"It would be brilliant if he plays on the bench or in the stand," joked former Watford boss Dyche.
"He's a fine player. It's very rare that astronomical fees are paid for players that are not at the top end of the market. I think he could fill a number of positions.
"Who knows? He might have one up his sleeve where he changes. He might feel that tactically it's time to change or it's appropriate for this game.
"It's a new face, a new player, someone who can operate wide and can operate in other positions. He might feel it's time to go 4-3-3, which is particularly a Dutch way, unless he is true to his word and is sticking to this philosophy no matter what."
Dyche expects striker Sam Vokes to once again be Burnley's only absentee.
Meanwhile, Van Gaal has vowed to win the Premier League next season, and then lift the Champions League as part of an ambitious three-year plan at United.
United suffered one of their most humiliating results in recent memory on Tuesday when they were thrashed 4-0 by MK Dons in the Capital One Cup.
For the supporters who made the long trip down to Buckinghamshire, the idea of soon participating in a Champions League final will probably seem like nothing but a pipe dream.
But Van Gaal is sure that is where United are heading under his stewardship.
The Dutch coach, who has won European football's biggest prize with Ajax, is sure he can pick his team up this year and finish in the top four despite their poor start.
Van Gaal wants to win the Premier League in 2015-16 and he then has his sights set on being crowned European champions the following May.
"I hope we are in the top four this season because the Champions League suits a club like United, and then maybe the next step is to be champions and then the next step is to be the winners of the Champions League," the United manager said.
Confidence within the squad has been hit by the draw at Sunderland and defeats to Swansea and MK Dons.
And Van Gaal thinks the task ahead of him will not get any easier when he takes his team to Burnley.
"They will play with a lot of passion, a lot of long balls, but you have to fight against it," he said.
"It will be a very difficult game but we have to show we can play football, that we can pass the ball in spite of the pressure of Burnley."
Di Maria is fit to make his debut but m idfielders Michael Carrick, Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera (all ankle) are out, as is Jesse Lingard, who has a knee injury.
Defenders Luke Shaw (hamstring), Chris Smalling (groin) and Marcos Rojo (awaiting work permit) are unavailable, while doubts remain over right-back Rafael (groin) and midfielder Shinji Kagawa, who suffered concussion against the Dons.

Jane Miller's notebook from the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard
Juan Pablo Montoya came one place short Sunday of becoming the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 and Allstate 400 at the Brickyard, finishing second in his first NASCAR race at the storied oval.
Montoya ran in the top five all day long and acted like he had driven stock cars around this 2½-mile track his whole career, though he hadn't raced on the oval here since 2000.
"It was a lot of fun," said Montoya, who won his first Nextel Cup race on the road course at Infineon Raceway at Sonoma, Calif., last month.
Montoya adapted to this track instantly when he came here in May of 2000, winning the 500 in his only attempt. He ran the Formula One course for the next six years without much success, but his oval skills all came back to him when he took the green flag.
"The track, to learn, is pretty simple," he said. "I found it pretty simple when I was here the first time. It's a very different oval but it's a mixture of an oval and a road course. I like it."
In fact, the configuration even solved a chronic handling problem the team has struggled with this season.
"It's funny because I was telling my crew chief, most of the times we have problems it just past the center (of the corner) of a normal oval and here, just past the center, you're out of the corner," Montoya said. "I think it worked pretty good."
Despite coming so close to victory, Montoya was not disappointed with his finish.
"They told me, 'If everybody pits we're going to stay out,'" Montoya said of his team's late-race strategy. "And I said, 'Yeah, but to be honest (race winner Tony Stewart) is just too fast. Even if he pits, he's still going to come out and beat us.' And they stayed out but I don't think anybody had anything for Tony today."
FIRST TOP 10: Caterpillar-sponsored Dave Blaney had his best finish of the season, finishing ninth.
The Cat team used pit strategy to improve its position, twice taking two tires on pit stops, and was able to hold on for its first top 10.
"We were as good if not better than any other cars that I was around out there today," said Blaney. "This was a brand new car today and that run really shows how strong our program is getting."
As a bonus, the team finally moved into the top 35 in owner points, which guarantees Blaney a starting spot in next week's race.
"It's a huge load off our shoulders, but, of course, now that we got there we have to stay there," he said. "With the way we've been running, I've been very pleased. I think if we can just stay out of trouble and keep running like we have been then we will be just fine."
NO REPEAT: Defending Brickyard champion Jimmie Johnson's bad luck at Indianapolis returned this year when his day ended with a hard crash and fire on lap 62.
Johnson had been in a multi-car accident on lap 45 and sustained damage to the car. Then on lap 62, a left-front blew going into Turn 3 starting the fire, which singed Johnson's eyelashes.
"It's feast or famine here for us," Johnson said. "That's the first time I've ever had flames inside the car. And at that point, you just want to get the car stopped but I've got cars flying by me on both sides. Finally I got into the grass without anybody getting into me and I came out of the car."
Johnson also crashed at Chicagoland Speedway two weeks ago.
"It's been a steady roll of bad races for us," Johnson said. "We've had lots of speed …but we don't have the results to show for it. We've got to keep fighting and make sure we stay in the Chase."
RIGHT COLOR: All three cars which won the major races at IMS this year had a paint scheme which incorporated the colors orange and black.
Dario Franchitti's Canadian Club car won the Indy 500 while Lewis Hamilton, in the chrome, orange and black Vodaphone McLaren Mercedes, won the Formula One race last month.
Stewart's Home Depot Chevrolet sports the familiar orange body with black trim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
SFP fiber transceivers (mini-GBIC) are specific to applications and therefore, you need to select the correct fiber transceiver for your application. StarTech.com offers a few types of fiber transceivers: Cisco®, Cisco Meraki®, HP®, and Juniper® compatible, as well as standard gigabit SFP converters. Although the transceivers may be referred to as GBIC or mini-GBIC, the correct terminology for the device is small form-factor pluggable transceiver or SFP . StarTech.com does not carry GBIC converters.
If your device is not a Cisco device, it can still use Cisco compatible SFPs. Cisco SFPs are specifically coded to be compatible with Cisco devices. A standard SFP will not work in a Cisco device.
StarTech.com offers two different output connector types for SFPs: RJ-45 and fiber.
No special requirements are necessary to use RJ-45 SFPs. However, if you use fiber transceivers, the following items need to be the same as the interconnecting equipment:
The connector type, such as LC, SC, or ST.
The mode (single mode or multi mode).
The wavelength, such as 850 nm, 1310 nm, or 1550 nm.
The DDM support.
The speed, such as 10Gbps.
Note: The properties listed above cannot be converted or changed by a cable, excluding the connector type.

A serious publisher has contacted me about writing a serious book about Linux shell programming.
It is all really very serious. I'm not used to being serious, as you can probably tell from the fact that I have now used the word "serious" four times in this three-sentence post.
I am rather keen to write a book on the subject, not because I'm vain, or desperate for money, but because the stuff I have seen out there in dead-tree format has been of rather low quality. Also because of all the emails I've received over the years, they have all been positive, and none has said anything along the lines of "I didn't need any of that because I bought Book[X]", or indeed any book. People have emailed me, asking for advice as to what book to buy, and I have been unable to recommend any book that I have seen.
What would you like to see in your ideal book about UNIX / Linux shell scripting, be it Bourne, Bash, ksh, tcsh, zsh, whatever?
Please don't be timid; if you want to know how to work out how many nose-flutes can be fitted into the area of a Boeing 757, you won't be anything like as strange as some of the correspondants I've had over the years, so please, tell me what is bugging you, what has bugged you, or even what you think might be likely to bug you in days / months / years to come.
I'm likely to answer any specific questions here and now, whether or not they end up in the book, but anything you'd like to see in a book, too… post that here, and I'll have a stab at it.
Also, I would of course be interested to know if you have found any useful books on or around the subject, and what they did particularly well.

The Concept
Adhering to the belief that form follows function, Shale Oak was built by a carefully crafted team. While each individual is a strong expert in her/his respective field, the group was able to synergistically come together to plan, plant and build a vineyard, winery and tasting room that would have very low impact on the surrounding environment.
Mesa Vineyard Management
Founded over 20 years ago, Mesa Vineyard Management is not only a leader in developing Paso Robles' reputation for growing quality winegrapes, but they are on the forefront of promoting sustainable farming practices. A founding member of the Central Coast Vineyard Team, the organization played an integral role in the creation of the SIPTM Certified Sustainable program. Knowing he would be a natural fit for owner Al Good's project, it was the folks at Mesa that introduced Al to winemaker Kevin Riley. Mesa worked with the entire team to integrate the vineyard with all systems, and is responsible for farming both of Shale Oak's vineyards.
Kevin Patrick Riley
Kevin Riley, a well-known and experienced Paso Robles winemaker, teamed up with owner Al Good when he first came to the area. Their shared vision of making high quality Paso Robles wine in the most sustainable manner possible made them fast allies. Kevin was instrumental in helping Al put together an entire team of knowledgeable professionals, ultimately bringing the concept to reality.
Kevin is passionate about every step of the winemaking process, from the vineyard, to the winery, to the bottling line. He is a consummate blender, but also enjoys making single varietal wines.
Studio2G Architects
As he set out to begin building Shale Oak Winery, it was imperative that owner Al Good first find an architecture firm that matched his goal of building a winery and tasting room that took the natural elements of his site into consideration. He found just that in Studio2G.
Dedicated to providing a quality product, Studio2G strives to find a harmonious balance between a design aesthetic, the client's intentions, the workings of the built world, and an understanding of the natural environment. As they got to know Al and to better understand his vision, an avant-garde architectural style was proposed, as well as LEED Certification with a goal of achieving "Silver" Certification. Special care was taken to design the buildings and the site with great sensitivity to the existing environment.
Above Grade Engineering
Above Grade's focus was on designing a comprehensive water plan for the entire site, and coordinating and connecting it with systems put in place by other members of the team.
In order to make best use of rainwater, a bioswale was recommended and installed. It allows vegetation to use the water, encouraging it to percolate back into the ground instead of running off site and affecting streams and creeks. To capture any increased runoff, a basin area was created in the lowest corner of the property. Water is pumped from it to holding tanks for landscape and vineyard irrigation, supplementing wells that tend to get low toward the end of the season. This reclaimed water is also used for toilet flushing.
In addition to designing other elements of water reuse, Above Grade recommended concrete and decomposed granite in parking and driving areas. These materials are lighter than black pavement, reflecting light rather than creating hot spots, and the decomposed granite lets water back into the ground instead of running off.
In Balance Green Consulting
Brought on board to manage the complicated LEED Certification process, In Balance also provided energy modeling and daylight analysis. They worked closely with Studio2G, as well as with Thoma Electric and Brummel Myrick Engineering, in the early stages of the design process to best optimize the buildings' performance.
Windows, insulation, lighting, and mechanical equipment were meticulously researched and selected for energy efficiency. Solar photovoltaic panels generate about one third of Shale Oak's energy needs. Time of use is taken into account, and the balance will be purchased from renewable resources. Daylight modeling was used to design both the winery and tasting room buildings; windows and sun tubes almost completely eliminate the need for electric lights during the day. Additionally, the sun tubes have dampers that block daylight into the winery when the rooms are not occupied.
Elutriate Systems
As water treatment and reclamation are critical elements to a sustainably built winery, a highly experienced engineering firm specializing in the design, installation and service of wastewater systems was hired. Elutriate Systems designed and installed a cutting-edge bioreactor system.
They also implemented the plan put forth by Above Grade Engineering, including a rain harvesting plan, water run-off reclamation system, and reverse osmosis system. These all work in concert to treat winery wastewater, convert it to compost tea, and use it for landscape irrigation. Also to collect and reuse rainwater as well as water run-off, and send to holding tanks for later use, generally minimizing the draw on the land.
Jeffrey Gordon Smith Landscape Architecture
Brought to the Shale Oak project by Studio2G, Jeffrey Gordon Smith runs a think tank type creative firm. Based on the concept of "Regionalism" which considers all surrounding influences when developing a plan, they literally designed Shale Oak's landscape from the ground up. Using native plants and a complete native palatte, the finished design celebrates the natural aspects of the winery and plays on all four seasons, highlighting qualities in each. A few of the sustainable design features are a native bioswale, native wild flower and grass meadow, and an aqueduct-like water feature that uses recycled water in respectful proportion. The latter was included to not only be aesthetically enjoyed, but to actually demonstrate the elutriate water system.

July 10, 2011
The following statement has been released by the National Dance Council of America, Inc.
During a meeting of the full Board of Governors of the National Dance Council of America, Inc. (NDCA), the membership of USA Dance, the constitutionally 'recognized amateur body', was suspended. This action was taken after a unanimous 'vote to suspend' was given by the Member organizations. (USA Dance abstained in this vote; parliamentary procedure records abstentions as a no-vote thereby making the vote unanimous.)
Unfortunately the climate in the dance world is not now the same as it was 18 months ago based on requirements by the World Dance Sport Federation (WDSF), formerly International Dance Sport Federation (IDSF), requiring their affiliate national bodies to institute a full professional division. The status of USA Dance as a member of the NDCA has been called into question by their plans to hold a congress to certify professionals for WDSF.
Such action by one of its members is in direct conflict with the constitution of the NDCA, thereby leaving no recourse but to proceed in the direction taken by the Board of Governors.
NDCA is aware of the rhetoric and speculation being posted on multiple blogs and web sites, and has released this statement to provide an accurate account of the situation.

My name is Heather Bartlett. I am married to a wonderful man and have two beautiful boys. I started making cakes just for fun about three years ago. It's something I have always wanted to try and I finally got the opportunity when our boys turned three and one. It turns out I really enjoy it. It's something I can do and stay at home with the boys. I use homemade marshmallow fondant rather than the commercial version because it tastes better. All of my cakes and frostings are made from scratch. I give my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, all the glory for the gifts He has given me.

Ram ProMaster City Wagon Fuel Filter at Anderson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram near Crystal Lake 60014
Protecting your engine and avoiding bigger issues for your Ram ProMaster City Wagon is very important. The fuel filter may be the first line of defense in making sure that happens. If left ignored, it can lead to harmful damage to your engine, as well as negatively affecting your fuel efficiency. Here at Anderson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Crystal Lake 60014, we have a team of trained technicians that will ensure the lasting life of your engine through our detailed care, and will help to prevent future issues.
Although it may be small, the fuel filter plays a vital role in keeping the engine running in optimal condition. It is located in the fuel line, acting as a screen protection. There are a host of potentially dangerous contaminants that can easily enter the fuel, including dirt, rust, and varnish chips. Over time, these particles will pollute the supply and cause abrasion as they enter the engine's fuel pump and injections, which will then lead to costly repairs. It could also force you to replace the entire engine, which would place severe dent in most people's budget.
The good news is, here at Anderson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Crystal Lake 60014 we are ready and waiting to treat your engine with the care it needs. Our fuel filter service is a simple maintenance procedure that can save you from spending larger sums down the road. When you take your Ram ProMaster City Wagon into our shop, our certified technicians will assess the situation. Often times this will involve replacing the fuel filter entirely, although some models may feature specialized filters that have a longer lifespan with proper cleaning. Our technicians are skilled in the latest procedures, as well as the specific details of your model and year, so you'll get peace of mind knowing the best care will be applied.
Not only will you avoid a fuel tank that is clogged with corrosive contaminants, but you'll also enjoy maximum efficiency following a fuel filter service. Fresh filters improve performance through cleaner fuel that burns with significant improvements on gas mileage compared to dirty fuel. This is especially important in vehicles that have seen many miles on the road.
Don't be fooled by a "lifetime" fuel filter, as it can still get a hole or a small break. Instead, come to Anderson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Crystal Lake 60014, and make sure your engine will run smooth for the long haul. Our talented will clean and replace your fuel filter with precision and efficiency. Call us to make an appointment, today!

Number Logic Puzzle 18710
Type: Skyscraper,
Size: 5 3 Parks
Size: 5 3 Parks
Previous Back to List Next ⤢
Points: 25, Penalty:0, Time : Initializing..
This puzzle has Parks (empty cells). The goal is to fill in each cell with numbers from 1 to N-(No. of Parks), where N is the size of the puzzle's side.
Each column and each row have exactly one of each number and N parks.
The numbers along the edge of the puzzle indicate the number of buildings which you would see from that direction if there was a series of skyscrapers with heights equal the entries in that row or column.
For example: if the grid is 4 and if the first number is 4, you will see only one skyscraper (the one with 4 floors) because it hides all other skyscrapers (those with 1, 2, 3 floors).

This week, Microsoft held its annual BUILD conference for developers at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Ars had Peter Bright on the scene when the company announced the new features that will be added into Windows 8.1. In the comments section beneath Bright's article, What does Windows 8.1 offer to desktop die-hards?, there were some mixed opinions about how meaningful Microsoft's changes will prove for desktop users.
dkazaz thinks the changes don't really solve the problem that Windows 8 really has: that the OS is trying to be all things for all devices. "I don't understand why the use of the two interfaces needs to be intermingled," dkazaz writes. "I'm quite interested in a hybrid desktop/touch OS. I just don't want to use a touch interface with a keyboard/mouse and I don't want (obviously) to have to use desktop elements on a touchscreen... Merging the two forces compromises on both. That doesn't mean that you can't have both in the same OS as long as you have clean switching between them. Is that really so hard for MS to figure out?"
robotic_tourist was a bit more charitable about the design choice: "I think the Start Screen is the new version of the ActiveX desktop. I never saw it used to good effect but it allowed animated widgets connected to the Web to display info on the desktop. What do most people have on their desktop? Application launcher icons. What do you get if you cross application launcher icons with animated widgets sucking down information from the Web? The Start Screen. Yes we laughed when we first saw the ActiveX Desktop, but now may be the time when it finally fulfills its potential!"
g0blue also had some positive things to say about 8.1's changes. "Another welcome addition to 8.1: Invoking the search charm (Win+Q) from the desktop no longer switches to the all-apps start screen. Instead you can search for apps (or files, webpages, etc.) from a sidebar on the desktop. Although the hot-key is slightly different, you can now search-launch apps without losing the view of your desktop or installing any third party utilities."
Not everyone was quite so positive. dagamer34 thought the changes were trivial and hoped there would be more to come. "Hopefully people can stop complaining about the Start Button/Menu and move onto far more important things that should be addressed in Windows 8/8.1."
Video Phone
This week we also heard a rather strange story about a young man in South Carolina who called in a fake bomb threat to get his girlfriend out of school for the day. The man was 20 and his girlfriend was 16, and while the legal age of consent in South Carolina is 16, federal law classifies sex videos with people under 18 as child porn. Unfortunately, the couple recorded just such a video on the phone he used to call in the bomb threat. Now he's serving 18 months in jail and will be marked as a sex offender for life.
One twist in Nate Anderson's story, Legal sex + smartphone video = child pornography, is that the issue was elevated to a federal level because the young man's smartphone was made by HTC. This meant it was classified as a production tool that has been exchanged through interstate and foreign commerce. mdporter was incensed about this. "Making him a convicted sex offender and putting him on an offender database for life due to a video found on a found is an incredible overreach. The bomb threats were stupid and he deserves jail time for those, but the sex part is just malicious prosecution. And hey Federal assholes, it is not possible to buy a cell phone made in America."
Techngro also felt the punishment didn't quite fit the crime:
Many times with the law, the intent isn't the sole concern. The law itself will tell you whether intent is an element of the crime. In this particular case, because of what they are trying to prevent (i.e. images and videos of underage children in sexual situations), intent doesn't matter.
Now, of course, the judge can be reasonable in his sentencing if he genuinely believes that the person made a stupid mistake. If I were the judge, I would have given the kid probation and skipped any sex offender charges.
Another thing, WAAAAAAAAAY too many young people are making sex videos. They don't understand the consequences of these things. Just my opinion.
But ninjaburn81 thought the bomb threat was totally over the top:
On one level I do feel bad for the guy. He did nothing (that he knew) was illegal with his girlfriend.
However on the other hand he called in a bomb threat to a high school...umm...yeah that was bad. Does no one just play hooky anymore?? "Yes, Jessica is sick today and will not be coming in." Isn't that easier than a bomb threat?
Frankly this guy is lucky to have a judge like this who could see the forest from the trees and made the best attempt he could and getting the guy punished for what he deserved to be punished for. It is unfortunate he couldn't do much about the sex offender label though, that is still just too extreme.
Money, Money, Money (and consoles)
Finally, Jonathan Gitlin and Kyle Orland analyzed the prices of game consoles since 1977 and how they've changed with inflation. With the Xbox One and the PS4 both recently announced, it's clear that Microsoft's is more expensive than Sony's, but will that remain true in a year or two after the companies have some time to cut prices? Check out Are the PS4 and Xbox One really that expensive, historically? to get a look at our handy graphs.
Beneath the story, Ars commenters found a lot of nuance in the numbers to talk about. Wickwick wrote, "An amazing reminder of just how bad inflation was in the late 70's-early 80's. The 2600 and NES sold for almost the same dollar amount ($200 and $175 respectively) but in 2013 equivalent that's $768 for the 2600 and $432 for the NES just eight years apart."
And while Orland and Gitlin found that the price of today's consoles seems reasonable to consoles in the past, sabarjp thinks there's another variable to consider. "Inflation alone does not tell the whole tale as to why people are up in arms with pricing. More tech and gadgets demand our entertainment dollars these days ($600 phones, $80 plans, expensive broadband, rent/food prices rising faster than wages, stagnant wages, etc). Things like DLC, expensive peripherals, and uncertainty over imminent tech (like display technology) make pricey consoles a tough pill." SonicHgHog went with a similar line of thinking: "Remember the value back then too. You did not just get a system, you also got a game or games included with the system. My Atari 2600 Came with Combat and two controllers. When the 360 came out you did not get a full free game and you only got one controller."
And Thisismyarsname wanted to see the numbers reflecting American purchasing power. "One slight problem with using real dollars in comparison is that it assumes that average purchasing power has stayed the same. So yes, the prices might be relatively similar over the long run, but the ability of people to buy them has been curtailed by the recession and rising inequality."

You may be aware that some breeds of dog and their crosses can be susceptible to inherited disease. Of course you want to be sure that the dog you choose is as healthy as possible, and you would like to know that it has not inherited any undesirable disease-causing genes from its parents. There is some help in that DNA tests for diseases in purebred dogs are available for some conditions in some breeds, but there are not very many such tests just yet! There are also, however, a number of clinical veterinary screening schemes that dog breeders can use to increase the probability of producing healthy puppies.
Details of the various screening schemes, both veterinary and DNA, that are available to breeders in the UK can be found at www.thekennelclub.org.uk/doghealth
Potential dog owners should be aware that, at present, the application of various health screening results to breeding programmes is not always straightforward, and breeders may make choices for various reasons. A responsible breeder though, will always be willing to discuss relevant health issues with you. Breed clubs are often useful sources of breed-specific information.
The following schemes, tests and/ or advice are mandatory requirements for Kennel Club Assured Breeders. All other breeders are strongly advised to use these schemes, tests and/ or advice.
It is strongly recommended that both Kennel Club Assured Breeders and non-Kennel Club Assured Breeders should use the following schemes, tests and/ or advice.
The list above is not necessarily comprehensive, other available health tests can be found at http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/health/breeding-for-health/dna-screening-schemes-and-results/ or for further advice please contact your local breed club.

"I was referred to Kelly Boyd at this law firm and I couldn't be happier! My situation required immediate and thorough attention. Kelly was on top of everything, never making me wait or wonder. She answered all my questions quickly and I have confidence in the job she did for me. Her professionalism with added kindness was such a bonus during a stressful time for me. This was my first experience hiring a lawyer and I have peace of mind that I can return for help in the future."
"Kelly Boyd was my lawyer in a divorce situation on two separate motions. She is knowledgeable, timely, thorough, and professional. She represented me and was successful on both occasions. I have been extremely pleased with her representation and would, and have, recommended her to others."
"Ryan, you've been a wonderful attorney, much more than I expected. Your attention to details, knowledge, and responsiveness to my case rates a 5 star review from me. There is one other thing about how you handled my case that deserves special attention. You made me feel comfortable and secure through an uncomfortable and stressful divorce. You're most definitely a credit to yourself, your profession, and your firm."
"After having two different attorneys during my divorce proceedings I finally found Kelly Boyd a family law attorney who has been an exemplary post divorce during the past eight years. Her accuracy, diligence and continuous efforts to seek a resolution without having to visit the courts and exposing the truth of opposing party has been amazing. Her ethics are of the highest standard!!! If you want an attorney you can count on, not overcharge you and get things resolved Kelly Boyd is the one to go to."
"I cannot say enough about the job Kelly Boyd did for me. My situation was a terrible mess, I had hired another attorney and I had been providing her with a lot of information about my case and witnesses, but at mediation I found out that she had done nothing with the information I had given her. I dropped her and was referred to Kelly on a last minute panic. I literally brought her a grocery bag full of documents and she pulled an all-nighter to put something together for the pretrial the very next day. Kelly prepared very thoroughly and did an excellent job all the way through the process and I honestly came out better than I thought I would. I am also certain that if she were given the chance to represent me from beginning to end, things would have been much different but my previous counsel made such a mess of my situation by not requesting the proper documentation from my ex and several other things. I strongly recommend Kelly Boyd for representation in a divorce case. I have dealt with good as well as bad attorneys and Kelly did a great job for me."
"Kelly Boyd was invaluable in helping my family through a very complicated and very highly conflicted time. In a course of 18 months, I had literally spent tens of thousands of dollars with previous representation handling my post divorce custody issues. We had multiple court appearances during those 18 months going round and round with the same issues; everything, no matter how insignificant was a battle. We were close to our wits ends when we found Kelly. She took the time to answer all my questions; she explained things to me in a way that I could understand and I immediately had a sense of relief. Kelly was very direct and to the point, she handled everything with my ex husband and his attorney for me, she quickly made it very apparent to them that we were no longer going to entertain those same issues anymore. From a scale of 1 to 10, my stress level went from a 200 down to a four. When it was time for another court appearance, she was phenomenal. She was organized, confident well spoken and presented herself as a very dominant force in the courtroom. She knew more about our case in six weeks than my previous attorney knew in 18 months. We have not been back to court since; and I truly believe it has everything to do with her exceptional skills as an attorney. I cannot thank her enough for what she has done for our family."
"I was referred to Kelly Boyd's Law Firm and met with Kelly. I am so thankful for her. She helped me through the hardest time in my life; I can't imagine life without her. Through several court trials for an OFP along with a very messy and difficult divorce, Kelly was there for me night and day, literally! She is the one that kept me strong and picked me up each time after every difficult situation, which were many. In the court room she was professional, positive, detailed and truthful and that is what got us though and we continued to win in the judges eyes. When I felt there was no one to trust in the world she is the one that I knew I could trust to be there, help me, guide me and to take care of everything. Even though it's been a year and a half since my finalized divorced I am still finding pieces out that she took care of for me when I didn't realize it and have that sense of relief and peace. I know that when or if something arises in my future I will know that Kelly will be there for me and have my best interest along with my sons. Thank you Kelly!!"
"I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with divorce and custody for over a decade and have had to hire and work with multiple attorneys on both sides. Kelly Boyd is by far the best choice in every way. She jumped into my existing situation, made me feel heard, quickly understood my stance and explained her recommended course of action in a way that made sense to me. Kelly was always quick to respond by phone, email, and text. She is flexible and cost conscious. She was finally able to get me to a point where I feel my case is resolved and if, heaven forbid, I ever need an attorney again, I will happily run straight to her for help."
Our personalized approach, dedicated focus areas, and years of combined legal experience produce successful, positive results for our clients.
