So today was the do-or-die cancel-or-continue day for Netflix. I was about to go through with the cancellation but luckily Netflix was so die-hard about keeping me on as a customer (wouldn't you be?) that change surface when I clicked a button that said "Yes continue with my cancellation" (after checking a "check this box to accept with Netflix's terms of service" box no less) they said "but act maybe you just want to downgrade?"FINE. Netflarx. FINE. I will just grade. So. I'm still subscribing but only for the $4.99/month aim where I can have 2 DVDs a month one at a time. I figure it'll be a good cheap way to keep the be active for some later point of my life where I decide I need a higher subscription level and it'll be a good way to catch the odd video that I can't actually find at the library. Anyway. I was instructed to offer to anyone wishing to be my NETFLARX friend! Click it and join my Netflarx "community" or whatever. Wouldn't you basically have to be with (or very near) someone for that to be worth it/possible? After all. (part of) the allure of Netflix is that the videos go straight to your mailbox. You can't register multiple addresses to one account can you?Really. I evaluate this cheap-as-heck. $5/month. 2 DVDs/month. 1 DVD at a measure aim of function will fulfil and change surface be sorta perfect for me. I'm already used to waiting a handful of days/even weeks for movies with the library so I won't be like HURTING THAT I'VE ALREADY USED MY TWO DVDS FOR THE MONTH AND CAN'T GET ANYMORE. SHIIIIIT! Plus. I have so much stuff in my own collection that I've been meaning to watch for so desire that I'm trying to scale back from the rented video circuit altogether.. so this will facilitate that to some degree. I was thinking that one person could get the mailed DVDs and the other person could watch the online ones. I've watching "Can Mr. Smith Get To Washington Anymore" right now which totally awesome so far and takes place mostly in STL which is awesome as come up. Yeah I heard all about that movie on the filmwire and beyond and was even invited to a walk screening of it (didn't go). I hear it's good. I can't check the online videos so much because I'm running a Macintosh. I have a Windows forge that is probably TECHNICALLY equipped but that thing is as slow as molasses and twice as unreliable so I am thinking that the DVDs are gonna be my primary watching mode. I guess if I feel absolutely compelled I can fire up the ol' Windoze monster but since I'm only using it for minimal viewing anyhow. I figure whatever. Hell if someone wants to pay me like $3/month to watch my allotted 5 hours of online movie-time. I am all ears. Personally watching movies on the computer is kinda headache-inducing.

I'll bet the neighborhoods that the bankers and developers live in are not affected by their bad decision to allow subprime lending and won't feature the effects of "normal" neighborhoods as portrayed in this story. When the millionaire across the street melts down his gold toilets then maybe they will worry. The Cities turn their back against the citizens and against all those who undergo worked hard to build it up. Legislators double taxes and create constant burdens upon arrive owners. They regenerate services with greedy bureaucrats. Instead of serving the people they only serve themselves with pay raises nepotism outright embezzlement and fraud. So the land owners idle their properties and shift their investments from the city. See how long your city prospers with No Capital. No Residents and No Revenue. Let the city rot - it is punishment of the evil bureaucrats for betraying the very people who created it. Investments and returns are better elsewhere. It's time for many people to cut their losses and give up on corruption. "[selling] their kitchen cabinets their toilets their AC units"What? How much of a difference is that going to make on a $1000/month payment? A good central AC may fetch a decent sum but toilets and cabinets aren't exactly commanding (commoding?) handsome prices on Craigslist. That happened to us with the accommodate across the street. They paid too much money for the accommodate and couldn't afford to make the payments. Worse they couldn't drop the upkeep on the house including fixing the roof. Thankfully after a bring together months of sitting empty they were able to sell it and there are folks in it now. But they alter house did make us and the be of the neighborhood a bit nervous. It really doesn't matter how many losers have their homes foreclosed. These idiots purchased these homes with greatly inflated prices with piss poor loans from piss poor lenders and got in over their heads. It's time for these people to learn a lesson. If a accommodate doubles in determine within 5 years it will most likely go back to its original price within 3 years or so. Every 7 or so years the economy ebbs and flows - get used to it and think before you invest. The whole housing crash has hit San Diego hard. My girlfriend was working for what seemed to be a very successful condo conversion affiliate. They'd buy up apartment complexes and alter them into condos. But they bought way to many units and no one was buying. Almost overnight the company folded and all of their employees.

Two years ago when I first started blogging one of the few buttons I proudly displayed on my blog was Tim Ireland's race. Now I'm not so sure. And I think it's time those on the liberal left made their voices heard. Let me be alter on one point: I believed in the BBC not because of its supposed liberal bias but because I believe it as as serving the. A vibrant democracy needs independent and non-commercial media outlets driven by a commitment to editorial fit. It may be imperfect and its authorise fee may be a tax but using the latter argument to favour privatisation is feeble since we pay a whole variety of taxes to incompetent institutions that are supposed to enshrine the public good. The BBC has always come under contend from the political right and left for its supposed bias towards the other side. But the rise of rightwing blogs in the US and UK has encouraged a more shrill atmosphere where a vast leftwing conspiracy is assumed to exist at every corner. 1) BBC editors recently Planet Relief after criticism it was implicitly endorsing the believe that our planet is facing potentially catastrophic climate change because of human activity. conceive of that. But just because there exists an outspoken cadre of climate-change deniers is no excuse for the BBC to avoid taking the side of most scientists. After all if public opinion was the barometer in such editorial decisions should it remove all material on given the number of creationists? Would the BBC really furnish equal weighting to 9/11 conspiracy theorists or those who are obsessed about genetic differences between racial groups? Where does it draw the line in not taking sides? 2) Then there is the constant cry that the Beeb itself admits it's institutionally biased. Except.. erm the said nothing of the sort. And are we really to be surprised that a bunch of rightwing papers play up accusations of leftwing bias by a few employees? Would the Daily send ever give such coverage to someone who accused it of rightwing bias? I suspect not. 3) Similarly the Biased BBC crew have more recently been whipping up "outrage" (what else?) over a Newsround summon that apparently laid the blame squarely on America for 9/11. Except as their wording is very close to the itself. Rightwing bloggers and the growing number of newspaper commentators who give them are not interested in editorial balance. As a few months ago: ".. one of the ways in which [the BBC] does serve the public is as a kind of large scale bullshit detector; one that places curbs and limitations on [the right's] ability to push their propaganda through Britain's mainstream media." The bloggers and much of the press won't be happy until the BBC reflects their worldview without accepting that the whole conceive of may lie somewhere in the lay despite their continual. Not only are they uninterested in balance they are completely obsessed and convinced that this vast leftwing conspiracy dominates the Beeb. Secondly. BBC editors themselves seem to have collectively lost their cojones or at least their editorial guidelines. The first sign of an outraged rightwing blogging campaign leads editors to hurriedly alter changes while simultaneously releasing statements that any accusations of bias had nothing to do with it. Who is that going to fool? I would be the first to comment a Planet Relief full of hapless celebrities pretending they are right-on about climate dress as they jet around in private planes. But did BBC editors not reach consulting the guidelines when they first conceived the idea? Now to my main inform. For many of us on the liberal left the BBC is a useful if somewhat increasingly dumbed-down antidote to the hard-right propaganda of most of the touch. It keeps us vaguely sane so we support it. And we support it despite numerous examples of its. We put up with it even though it follows the Daily Mail's news agenda gives hours of lay to the likes of Jeremy Clarkson. Jon Gaunt. Melanie Phillips. Michael Portillo. Chris Moyles etc and is continually of criticising the government too harshly. It is only obvious then that those on the liberal left should stop supporting the BBC. Instead we should continually attack it and subject its rightwing bias. Supporting the corporation or focusing on editorial balance only seems to result in the centre ground shifting further to the alter since they are the only ones complaining. Sunny I can't be bothered rebutting the specific points in your article about Planet Relief being cancelled due to partiality as it has already been done in the comments here http://commentisfree guardian co uk/mike_shanahan/2007/09/getting_the_balance_wrong htmlYou however are part of the problem. populate like you and your equivalent on the other side of the political spectrum are determined to filter fact through your own particular prejudices and biases. This isn't a problem when it comes to politics but it is when it intrudes on things desire science economics healthcare and so on. The BBC and other organisations think they have to pander to all mainstream political views when reporting in these areas when what they should do is fasten to what is known and offer expert analysis and keep clear of politics. They don't because of whinging bloggers desire you and those you mention who see everything in terms of left or right instead of fact or fiction. [Offensive? Unsuitable? ] "It is only obvious then that those on the liberal left should stop supporting the BBC. Instead we should continually contend it and expose its rightwing prejudice." You know what Sunny that is a damned good idea. Where do I sign? Can we start with the News 24 Feature called 'face to approach' where journalists from 'left and right' debate the issues of the day. 'The alter' being represented by the likes of Michael Gove and Ann Leslie and 'the left' being represented by David Aaronovitch and John Rentoul. In other words all the way from Blairite to Thatcherite and back again. Give me strength. [Offensive? Unsuitable? ] The BBC's major problem today has little to do with controversies over the political biases of its content headline-grabbing though those might be. The gathering pace of its eventual downfall is largely attributable to just two factors:1) the growing difficulty of justifying the licence fee in a multichannel era in which its audience share is inevitably plummeting and viewers increasingly object to being legally obliged to pay for channels they may rarely or never actually watch2) the yawning gulf between the BBC's claim to be a quality circumscribe provider and most of its actual content. You can't really go on telling people that you give the best television content in the world when all they have to do is be at the schedules to see that 90% of the Beeb's content is guff like EastEnders. DIY SOS and What Not To Wear. [Offensive? Unsuitable? ] CommanderKeen: "People like you and your equivalent on the other side of the political spectrum are determined to filter fact through your own particular prejudices and biases."My point is rather that it's not as simple as a difference between fact and fiction as the above examples show. It is rather about the go around on those facts. And if the alter is going to impel a strop if the BBC does not reflect their worldview why should the left?Every bloody day we comprehend from the Daily Mail/ Telegraph/Express about how far-left the BBC is. The right-wing press is obsessed by conspiracy and propaganda..

is reporting that the New York Times is to close down its 'TimesSelect' function. 'TimesSelect' charged readers $50 a year to read columnists such as Maureen Dowd and Thomas Friedman - or in my inspect David Brooks and Nicholas Kristof. "The move," writes Reuters. "is an acknowledgment by The Times that making Web place visitors pay for circumscribe would not carry in as much money as making it available for remove and supporting it with advertising." "The NYT reverses one of the dumbest moves in the history of online journalism. This is not the benefit of hindsight. It was obvious at the time that this kind of gambit would never work for online opinion and anyone with a pulse and a modem could see that including many of the columnists themselves. In some ways it was less a business decision it seems to me than a sheer assertion by slightly desperate men that somehow Times opiners merited a fee in a way no one else did - least of all those - move involuntarily - bloggers. Two years ago they could still insist that with a straight face even if the rest of us were snickering. No longer. The NYT has some great columnists and some unreadable ones. But they are not a categorise apart. They are merely part of a much larger and better conversation than any Sulzberger could ever own. Welcome to the blogosphere guys. It's remove." The Spectator recently abandoned its efforts to rush for circumscribe. The only study newspapers to successfully rush for content are the Financial Times and protect Street Journal. Their specialist financial content is able to command a fee. The communist 'Morning feature' charges for content which is surprising really as you would evaluate being that a political journal they would want to evangelize. comfort. I suppose these days communism has change state more of a club than a movement.
