Facebook exposes users to the intimacies of other people's lives, things he/she wouldn't normally be able to participate in, thus creating a lackluster approach to one's own life, and glorifying other's who post more pictures and events.
For Example:
When a Facebook user, Sally, sees on John Smith's profile that John has been exploring a new country for the past several months, the user feels as though she should have the same experiences, she should have been doing something adventerous too. Ignoring the fact Sally has spent the same several months obtaining a college education, she feels less worthy and behind in life because she doesn't have the same experiences as John Smith.
If Facebook didn't exist, Sally wouldn't have these intimate details of John's life. Yes, she may hear from John about his experiences, but she wouldn't have enough information and social acceptance indicators (ie. John got more "likes" on his Hangin' Out with an Alligator photo, than Sally got on her College Graduation Day photo) to compare her own life against.
Facebook generates pressure for people to live their lives the way others do.
Completely agree, people should spend more time sorting out their own lives instead of following what others do. Get your house in order, clean, wash, spend time with your children and close family (in person) instead of checking what others do, because obviously people will only show on facebook what is great, you won't find the skeletons in the cupboard. Facebook is like a shop window, you know the dress that looks perfect on the doll, now walk behind it and you can see that it is all held together by pins to make it fit... Esse est percipi = perception is reality. Wake up people for f@ck sake
It makes me even more miserable to see TE's invitation to share one's comments on Facebook, for an article headed "Facebook is bad for you" and "Using the social network seems to make people more miserable".
This is a bit confused. The study, at least reported here, hasn't done anything to tease out causation from correlation. If people are more likely to go on Facebook when they're feeling miserable, then those who have been on Facebook the most between two given times are more likely to report feeling miserable. This doesn't establish cause. Feeling lonely or bored is likely to make you want to go on Facebook and that is enough to produce the effect described here.
If you wanted to establish cause you would have to actively ask people to go on Facebook when they wouldn't have been inclined to themselves, or ask them to desist from using it when they otherwise would have done, and monitor their happiness before and after the point their behaviour was modified.
Countless other studies have come to similar conclusions; the emotionally harmful effects of facebook are undoubtedly widespread.
Another study that confirms that common sense is usually right. I didn't need a study to tell me that spending real time with people, instead of being online, makes me or anybody else more happy, healthy, and satisfied with life.
Maybe it's unimaginable for some people, but there was a time when there were no mobile phones, no internet, no TV and people still lived fulfilling lives.
The first thing I want to do when I read this article is to share it on Facebook.
I have always wondered if facebook realizes that friendship is the ONE thing you can't do electronically.
My experience with Facebook, and to some extent here, is that people write things to people that they would never, ever say in person. It opened my eyes, actually, to just how mean some people are. Disassociating from them has made my life much richer and less complicated.
The findings are not surprising and it is not Facebook that is the problem.
All Facebook or other similar social networking platforms do is to concentrate and showcase all the human qualities that are driving modern human society.
We are all programmed and brought up to live in ruthless competition, to rise above others, and to succeed at the expense of others.
At the same time as humanity has evolved into a global, interconnected network, which created an integral, interdependent structure, these two directions, the inherently self-centered and egoistic human nature and being tied into an integral network is causing unprecedented tensions.
The same thing is happening outside of Facebook but in a slightly less obvious format, the global crisis affecting basically all human activities is based on the same incompatibility of the unbreakable ties we evolved into, and the self-centered, competitive ways we want to use these ties through.
The solution is not shutting down or avoiding Facebook, we cannot disconnect from each other, we evolved into this integral system out of our own free choice.
The only thing human beings can do is to adapt to the system as any other species do in order to survive.
We have to learn how to use integral interconnections, and being dependent on each other in a benevolent way.
Not on the grounds of ethics, or morality, or in order to pursue an old or new "ism".
The only way we could build and sustain a safe, predictable future for all of humanity is using the interconnections in a mutually complementing and mutually responsible way.
The best example is the system of nature where all participating elements, organisms instinctively, blindly follow the laws of mutuality.
We can imagine what a power, ingenuity, productivity and lifestyle we could generate if the billions of individual human beings would build such a mutually cooperating system, above their inherent nature in a fully conscious manner, building the system together.
In 2009, I posted pics of a Hamptons party and a girl I didn't know friend-requested me to comment on pictures of her friends.
This February, I'm marrying that girl.
Are you kidding me?! A study of 82 people and we make these sweeping generalizations!!! I am sick and tired of badly designed studies that have no basis in the scientific method at all. Everyone has an opinion these days based on crappy statistics, studies and analysis. Let's design studies that have merit. Junky journalism
Let's face it: Facebook is not a good subtitute for a real life :)
Social networks are just that: social networks. A supporting tool to make connecting people and share information a lot easier and contribute to your social REAL life.
However a lot of people fails to realize it, and keep thinking that their likes and virtual buddies are the real thing. Common how could somebody possibly to have 4 thousand "friends" or more?
And of course spending countless hours in front of the screen feeding your virtual life can be a monumental waste of time. Further more: reading how happy your ex boyfriend is with that hot 20something model, or how the bully who made your life miserable in high school is raking a 6 digit bonus could be not very good for your mental health.
Usually a sample of "84 volunteers, in their late teens or early 20s" is not considered representative enough to draw broad global conclusions from :)
Older people who are able to see photos of their grandchildren and other relatives, keep in touch with family networks, and friends, may experience Fbk slightly differently.
whether there is causality or not, spending too much time on facebook is an actionable alarm bell for everybody.
FB is to social life the same as porn is to sex: frustration. The more you use it, the more you need and the less satisfaction you get out of it.
Few basics:
- First do not club all teenagers alike. Some are pretty smart in the same sense as their older peers are or sometimes in their own unique ways. Having said this many teens are indeed addicted to 'pretend social'
- Humans are social animals and need to interact in real life. Facebook and before that email, chat, messengers and before that snail mail, postcards, telephone and before that pigeons were all ways to ensure some of the people you wanted to stay in touch with were not lost because of distance. Thats all. Do not mistake communication for interaction.
- And Yes, Facebook or anything on internet is simply a means of communication and not interaction in that sense. (unless you can pat someone on the back or hold someone's hand over the internet, please spare me the usual arguments. Maybe hollywood style Matrix or brain in a vat situation could change this but we are not there yet)
- Life is all about families, friends and people you want to interact with and facebook simply reminds you that there are people out there you should meet sometime. Just like telephone or email or still camera did before the facebook.
Now you could add a million people in your network (no dearth of narsisitic tendencies in many people) or you could feel depressed by other's success or possessions (envy? jelousy?). Both narsicism and envy are very very old human tendencies. Facebook simply holds a mirror to the human weaknesses in this case. Stop blaming facebook for this. Simply ask yourself if holding an expensive phoen and riding a nice car is what makes you feel happy then how shallow a life you must be living. Even worse, if your happiness is founded on someone else's relative misery, then you are doomed anyway. Because no matter how rich or successful you get there is always someone else out there you can't beat (unless you are the Forbes topper on the Rich list which also might change next year).
So get a life based on sound principles and you will also them know how to use tools like Facebook properly.
Meanwhile, like most smart people use all such virtual tools - but sparingly.,Keep your most important stuff like hugging your child before sleep at the top of your list.
One may consider Facebook or other social media as candy, having a little bit of it is pretty good! But when you become addicted to it you're in trouble. It's very difficult for teens or those around twenty something to have such an observation. Hence, they keep on banging on it, wasting tons of time for one thing...
I'm not going to read it. I'm just going to agree, like and share on facebook. Honestly, all I know is the more time I spend on fb, the less interesting I get.

TPC Group Inc. Receives Non-Binding Proposal From Innospec Inc. And Blackstone
HOUSTON, Oct. 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TPC Group Inc. (Nasdaq:TPCG), a leading fee-based processor and service provider of value-added products derived from niche petrochemical raw materials, today announced that it has received a non-binding proposal to be acquired by Innospec Inc. (Nasdaq:IOSP) ("Innospec"). As part of this proposal, Innospec would pursue an acquisition of all of TPC Group's common shares for an all-cash purchase price in the range of $44–46 per share. The proposal is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, securing requisite debt financing, completion of due diligence and receipt of internal approvals. Equity financing for the proposed acquisition will be provided by a fund, Blackstone Capital Partners VI, L.P., managed by Blackstone on behalf of its private equity investors.
The TPC Group Board of Directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with its independent legal and financial advisors, that this proposal would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, as that term is defined in the Merger Agreement dated as of August 24, 2012 with investment funds sponsored by First Reserve Corporation and SK Capital Partners. Consistent with its fiduciary duties, TPC Group's Board of Directors, in consultation with its independent legal and financial advisors, will carefully consider and evaluate the non-binding proposal from Innospec and its equity financing partner, and has authorized discussions and negotiations with them and is making arrangements to facilitate their due diligence review.
It is not anticipated that any further developments will be disclosed with regard to these discussions unless the TPC Group Board makes a decision with respect to any potential Superior Proposal. There are no guarantees that these negotiations will result in a Superior Proposal.
As previously announced on August 27, 2012, TPC Group entered into a merger agreement with investment funds sponsored by First Reserve Corporation and SK Capital Partners. Under the terms of the agreement, upon consummation of the merger TPC Group stockholders would be eligible to receive $40.00 per share in cash for each share of TPC Group common stock that they own. The TPC Group Board of Directors has not changed its recommendation with respect to, and continues to recommend that TPC stockholders vote in favor of adopting and approving, the merger agreement entered into with investment funds sponsored by First Reserve Corporation and SK Capital Partners and the transactions contemplated thereby.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

not long ago,someone on here posted an article stating the .380 has a slightly higher, one shot stop percentage over the .38spl....is this info accurate? everthing i've ever read says the 38spl is superior..what's your take on this?
This is a discussion on one shot stop percentage-.38spl vs.380 within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; not long ago,someone on here posted an article stating the .380 has a slightly higher, one shot stop percentage over the .38spl....is this info accurate? ...
not long ago,someone on here posted an article stating the .380 has a slightly higher, one shot stop percentage over the .38spl....is this info accurate? everthing i've ever read says the 38spl is superior..what's your take on this?
"One shot stop" statistics are somewhat less useful than knowing what color unicorns the round works best against.
So many variables - shot placement, clothing, assailant mental state, assailant pharmacological state - make this a useless point of argument,IMHO.
.22, .38, .45, 12 Ga., phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range, it doesn't matter. The tactic never changes. Shoot until the threat stops.
Battle Plan (n) - a list of things that aren't going to happen if you are attacked.
Blame it on Sixto - now that is a viable plan.
There are statistics out there to prove anything that one wants to prove. I'm sure its possible to "prove" through the use of statistics that the .22 LR is a better stopper than the .50 BMG, but I wouldn't believe it no matter who posted it.
I agree that one shot stop percentages are pretty much meaningless (though the books on the subject are an interesting read). However, the .38 Special pushes a bullet sometimes more than twice as heavy as a .380 bullet, at an equal or higher velocity. Which would seem to be more effective?
"The Engine could still smile...it seemed to scare them" -Felix
Check out this web sight about shooting ballistic gel. Many calibers are compared, and if shooting ballistic jello can tell the story then here is some food for consideration.
.38 Special
.380..? When in doubt, empty the magazine.
Evan will be the first to tell you that it was a measure of quantitative analysis and never a theory of tactics. Shoot until the threat stops.
Evan Marshall, along with Ed Sanow were the ones that came up with the One Shot Stop percentages. It was designed as a way of measuring a bullet's effectiveness in real life encounters. Prior to that we had, goat and "old wife's tales and second hand information.
Last edited by BikerRN; October 23rd, 2009 at 04:59 PM. Reason: typo
Street statistics tell us nothing of value that can't be better gained from tests in gel through various coverings. The variables on the street make those figures virtually meaningless.
Back to .380 ACP vs. 38 spl. - How could a lighter bullet, traveling at the same speed as a heavier bullet perform better with the same medium of test? The only possible answer would be that the .380 was using a vastly superior bullet design to the one used in the 38.
Come to think of it - there is another answer! The guy testing the 38 could have been using a vastly inferior aiming technique and missed the target completely.
If I was betting money, I would always bet on the 38. Bullet weight helps with the penetration and the 380 is a weak performer due to not going deep enough. Sometimes studies don't ever evaluate the 380 as the researcher begins with the 9mm. Also, the 38 Special is usually where defense begins for many with a revolver. When was an officer's primary exposed gun in the U.S. a 380? Of course the 38 Special was carried for many many years as such. Lay the two caliber rounds side by side and you will see which probably has the advantage.
Anything worth shooting once is worth shooting twice.
Better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees.
.38 special +P is very close to 9mm, the .380 not so much.
The .38 definitely has the edge on the .380, especially in the +P configuration.
"First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand."
Edge of Darkness
I would be more interested if the figures available were for three or four quickly placed shots. Are you are planning to meet a deadly threat with a single shot and then ponder your next move?
"If we loose Freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the Last Place on Earth!" Ronald Reagan
I read that article. The reason the 380 ranked slightly higher, in my opinion was that they had less incidents of one shot 380 shootings. There were a lot more 38 spl shootings. The 22 is what suprised me.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around laws. Plato
I was under the distinct impression that .38 sp +p was bordering on .357 mag, and that .380 +p was somewhat lighter than 9mm. Or to simplify, from lightest to heaviest:
.380 +p
9mm +p
.38 sp
.38 sp +p
.357 mag
feel free to correct me if I have those mixed up.
The views expressed above are the opinion of the poster and may or may not be total bunk.
Viewer discretion is advised.

On the call today we talk about how the extraordinary payroll number raises risks globally as the Dollar may overshoot to the upside with no other central banks ready to counter the tightening mode we have in the US. Emerging markets trade in sympathy with currencies stretching all time low levels but underlying markets contained and in some cases positive.
Today is an extraordinary day for macro driven by the U.S. Payroll number that many thought could be weaker based on recent weather conditions.
Emerging Money Daily Audio Call March 5 – On today's call we highlight outperformance of Europe and a rebound in global markets today despite Dollars strength that's pushing EM currencies to the brink.
There are plenty of shrills piling on the poor 1Q numbers by Joy Global this AM before the market opened. I have to wonder when the "masters of the obvious" will acknowledge that we didn't learn anything new today from JOYG that we didn't price in 3 months ago.
Please see that attached article on US policy on Russia including sanctions and the overall attempts to challenge their regional sphere of influence.
As we mentioned on the call we want to highlight where emerging markets are looking at potential tests of the mild up channel we have been in since December global market lows, as well as pointing out that emerging market equities are challenging the important .1900 level on the "EM/DM spread.
Emerging Money Daily Audio Call March 4 – On the call today we analyze the current market volatility and believe markets are responding to extreme positioning issues. What does this mean? We discuss…
Vol leads the market lower. The market seems to run into trouble every-time we hit 13 on the VOX or lower over the last 6 months.
Emerging Money Daily Audio Call March 3 -On the call today we discuss volatility rising in global markets today is as much about over-bought conditions as it is about growth fears.

How People Watch TV in Bergman
Looking at national trends helps us get a picture of cable TV in Bergman, AR. Nearly 33% of U.S. residents own at least four televisions, about 50% of them stream television shows online, and 97% watch their favorite TV shows as they are broadcast. Well over 72% of people in the U.S. bundle their cable subscriptions to include both TV and high-speed Internet. To help you put that in context, because we're just that nice, of the 452 people in Bergman, that's:
- 149 with a TV for every finger on their right hand (thumbs don't count)
- 217 who take the term 'television' show lightly (and stream instead)
- 438 who do just fine with a traditional TV, thank you
- 325 smart folks, a.k.a the cable bundlers
- 375 lucky enough to have free evenings to watch live television.

'#Hillary2016′ Tops Twitter Trends as Former President Bill Clinton Fires Up DNC Crowd
(CHARLOTTE, N.C.) -- If people on Twitter had their way, Hillary Clinton would take one more crack at shattering America's highest glass ceiling.
As former President Bill Clinton took to the Democratic National Convention's main stage Wednesday night, the Twitter hashtag "#Hillary2016″ briefly became the top trend on Twitter in the United States. The tweets asking the secretary of state to run skyrocketed to the top shortly before 11 p.m., about 10 minutes after President Clinton gave her a shout-out in his speech.
"Heck, he even appointed Hillary!" said the former president, making the point that President Obama is committed to cooperation, appointing Republicans to his cabinet and tapping his former primary opponent for secretary of state.
An ABC News/Washington Post poll in April found Secretary of State Clinton scoring a favorable rating of 65 percent, hitting a new high in favorability data stretching back to her entry on the national stage 20 years ago.
Clinton is currently on a tour of Asia and the Pacific, steering thousands of miles clear of the convention in Charlotte, N.C.

Or Europe or Australia or New Zealand or some other nice places, either.
If you go to the Caribbean, you might have better luck, but the advice regarding exercise, food and water, and the tendency of bull terriers to skitter off the deck remains. And yes, some people *don't* take their children. They wait until they are at school or grown.
But they aren't children, are they? They are dogs. Unless you are tied to a dock, dogs have little place on a small boat. When my old bully died in 2001, my wife and I decided that we wanted to circumnavigate within ten years, a goal we are well on the way to achieving, or at least commencing, by '09. This fell well within the lifespan of a dog, and having seen other people with dogs aboard in Lake Ontario (where the shore is never more than six hours away), we decided that to have a dog with us of a bull terrier's size, temperament and swimming ability would be cruelly confining, messy and a bureaucratic nightmare.
But you will do as you will.

Bus-ted and Disgusted
Eric Oriol is a 49-year-old cook from Hallandale who -- and The Bitch totally approves of this -- gets around using public transportation with assists on the macadam from his bicycle. Lately, though, Oriol says he's been getting nothing but a cloud of diesel smoke from the Miami-Dade Metrobus drivers on South Beach, where he needs to be for work and errands.
Oriol contends that bus drivers don't want to stop to allow him to load his bike on the racks on the front of the buses on routes C and K in Miami Beach because it puts them behind schedule -- as if the traffic on Collins and Washington is really moving with the quickness.
"I was at the bus stop across the street from Miami Beach City Hall," Oriol recounts. "When the bus driver saw me waiting with my bike, he stepped on the gas and left me standing there." Oriol reports four similar incidents over the past month, and says a complaint he filed with the Miami-Dade Transit Agency on June 1 has gone unanswered.
"I'm black, and a lot of the bus drivers are black," says Oriol. "So I asked one of the drivers: 'What's wrong with you black guys?' and he said, 'Well, the white guys don't stop for passengers with bikes, either' -- as if that's an answer."
The MDTA's spokesman, Manny Palmeiro, didn't return calls from The Bitch, who is just trying to help a fellow public transit user out.
Blow: It's Not Just for Humans Anymore
A recent article in the Tampa Tribune revealed that more than 100 greyhounds have tested positive for cocaine at Florida racetracks over the past three years. In fact ten dogs have tested positive at the Flagler Dog Track, and thirty-nine positive tests came out of the Hollywood track.
Regulatory agents and animal advocates agree that the positive tests might not be the result of intentional doping. That is, owners probably aren't giving the dogs coke to make them lose weight or run faster. "Cocaine wouldn't be the drug of choice to fix a race," says David Roberts, director of Florida's Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering.
Apparently there's so much coke floating around Florida that it's being accidentally ingested by dogs. Transference from a trainer's hand to the dog's skin and thence to the bloodstream, and inhalation of crack smoke from nearby baseheads are two of the ingestion theories proposed to The Bitch. By the time regulators get lab results, weeks have passed and there's no way to apprehend the culprits. One thing, however, is clearly illuminated by the testing: Hollywood is where the party's at.
The Evidence and the Envelope
When Lt. John Eller asked investigator Ramon DeArmas to get some boxes from the evidence room at the state Medicaid Fraud Control Unit's Miami office on April 14, DeArmas seemed to be feeling okay. But when the lieutenant asked for another carton related to an unsolved older case, DeArmas, a 49-year-old ex-Miami cop, became sick so suddenly he had to sit down, according to an affidavit. Then he had to go home. DeArmas later called the bureau and said he'd need the rest of the week off. And that, finally, made Lieutenant Eller suspicious: DeArmas is in charge of the evidence room.
What Eller had requested were three envelopes of cash totaling $5034.41 that were part of a criminal case. When Eller checked himself, the money was gone. So Eller and another Medicaid investigator opened an unlocked drawer in DeArmas's office desk and found "several property/evidence envelopes which had been cut open," according to the affidavit. The envelopes were, of course, empty.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement heavies were called in, and you can guess the rest: DeArmas faces two counts of grand theft and two counts of tampering with physical evidence, all felonies. Frankly if the allegations are true, The Bitch would expect an ex-cop-turned-fraud-investigator to make crime pay a little bit more, or at least to make the caper more interesting.
Air Cristol
When Miami-based Arrow Air avoided filing for bankruptcy last week, the jurist who approved the cargo airline's reorganization plan was pleased with his work.
Chief U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Emeritus A. Jay Cristol, himself an avid aviator, wrote a poem celebrating the solvency of this 520-employee air carrier:
"As of today I shot an Arrow into the air.
The reorganization plan was very fair.
Go fly your birds everywhere.
Haul your cargo with a great deal of flare.
Keep your planes on the runway and out of the muck.
May you continue to operate with the best of luck."

Blackburn Rovers 3-1 Sheffield Wednesday: Match Report
Ruben Rochina scored twice as Blackburn's whirlwind start helped them forget their Barclays Premier League woes and ease into the Carling Cup third round as they recorded a 3-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
The young Spaniard fired home in the third and fourth minutes and David Goodwillie added Rovers' third with less than eight minutes on the clock.
Shell-shocked Wednesday reduced the deficit five minutes after the break when substitute Clinton Morrison blasted a fine left-foot shot past Mark Bunn.

Extreme 10.5 Qualifying Notes, Final Session
By Larry Sullivan
NORWALK, Ohio -
Notes from final, round 4 qualifying in Mickey Thompson Extreme 10.5 at the American Drag Racing League, ADRL Summit Racing Equipment Ohio Drags VI presented by Mickey Thompson listing lane, driver name, elapsed time/top speed this round, position in order following run, best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in order prior to run:
Left Lane:
Nick Jackson Runs 4.372/176.14, Now #3; Best prior run: 4.302/176.97, Was #3
Right Lane:
Alan Pittman Runs 3.922/196.47, Now #1; Best prior run: 3.911/197.31, Was #1
12:32 p.m. Pittman has a commanding lead over Billy Glidden in the championship points. This run shows how he got there, the car made a very quick run (just a hundredth slower than his best) and it looked effortless.
Left Lane:
Dan Myers Runs 4.224/195.73, Now #3; Best prior run: 4.463/185.61, Was #4
Right Lane:
Billy Glidden Runs 6.753/67.90, Now #2; Best prior run: 3.923/188.96, Was #2
The short car count here works against Glidden in the points chase - not enough rounds to catch up with Pittman.
Myers made his best run of the event, by a quarter of a second, to move up one spot and set up a first-round match with Pittman.
Glidden's car got twitchy early in the run and he lifted.

Fresh, Lively, Crisp and Dry. Robert Parker says....."Similar to top quality nonvintage champagne at one third the price."
Sweeter and slightly softer than our EXTRA DRY, this wine is comparable to Demi Sec in Champagne.
Today, over four and a half centuries later, SAINT-HILAIRE Blanquette de Limoux is made in the very same foothills of Southern France.
One uncorking and you'll discover why the French compare SAINT-HILAIRE with their finest Champagne. And at a fraction of the cost, you'll never pay Champagne prices again.
By 1794 Blanquette de Limoux was well known and appreciated throughout France. At about that time it was discovered by a famous American, Thomas Jefferson. The Third American President was an expert on French wines and Blanquette de Limoux was an integral part of his wine cellar. Few people realize that Jefferson was an avid collector of recipes and wine. With his knowledge of Europe's finest vineyards, Jefferson was the wine advisor to several presidents and, at George Washington's request, selected the first wines to be stocked in the White House. Though he didn't actually cook, he passed recipes along to friends and gathered them for his own chefs. In Jefferson's writings, researchers have found grocery lists, wine inventories and recipes.
What They've Been Saying About
France's Oldest Sparkling Wine
..."It is probably the least-known well-made sparkling wine of France..." "Made primarily from the Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Mauzac grapes, the wines are qualitatively close to a high quality non-vintage Champagne at one-third the price." Robert Parker
..."I've tried more than 20 wines and the great discovery was the Saint-Hilaire Blanquette de Limoux Brut." The Grapevine - New York Post
..."This is a frisky sparkler with an attractive, yeasty aroma and a luscious, creamy texture. It's also a remarkable value." The Philadelphia Inquirer The Philadelphia Inquirer

Broadcom's CEO Steps Down and Shares Follow
Updated from Jan. 23
Despite beating expectations both on sales and guidance, Broadcom (BRCM - Get Report) shares dove today as investors digested the bigger news that longtime CEO Henry Nicholas is leaving his post. His departure became effective yesterday; COO Lanny Ross will fill in while the company looks for a permanent chief.
In early afternoon trading, shares tumbled $2.74, or 16%, to $14.87.
A day after Broadcom reported earnings, Merrill Lynch slapped a sell on the stock on the basis of its high valuation and Nicholas' departure.
In a note, analyst Mark Lipacis pointed out that at Thursday's close of $17.61, the stock traded at a heady P/E ratio of 84 times his 2003 EPS estimate and 41 times his '04 estimate. He also voiced worries about the effect of Nicholas' departure. Nicholas "is known as being a strong leader, a great motivator, and in many ways drove the intensely competitive culture of the company," wrote Lipacis. "While we believe that the current management is capable, we believe that with the departure of such a strong leader, the company will undergo a cultural change, if not a bit of a leadership vacuum." Others called the announcement unexpected but seemed less concerned about the transition to a new CEO in the longer term. "It's definitely a surprise. I'm sure the Street will miss him," said Ambrish Srivastava, an analyst at Gerard Klauer Mattison, which hasn't done banking with the company. "To give him credit, he's built Broadcom into a true powerhouse." One encouraging trend: The company has lately taken pains to show it's focusing more on the bottom line, Srivastava added. That includes a major cost-cutting effort that included a 16% reduction in staff, announced in November. Pacific Growth Equities' Jim Liang said that in retrospect, Nicholas' departure might come to be seen as a "non-event," pointing out that all tech companies eventually see their founders leave. "The departure certainly does not come at a bad point for the company. They're guiding for pro forma profitability for the first time in eight quarters," he said. "My interpretation of events is that Nicholas is not leaving because the company is in trouble. That's an important point."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Move Dance and Fitness Studio
When dance class commences at Move Dance and Fitness Studio, kids aren't the only ones expected to get moving. There's a fitness room located just beyond the studio's viewing windows with a modest collection of ellipticals and treadmills awaiting parents, who can work out for free while their kids are in class. They can even commission a personal trainer (for an additional fee) to help create a customized workout or send the treadmill to bed without dinner if it's pushing everybody too hard. This fitness room exemplifies Move's commitment to keeping the community fit and in motion, no matter the method. Of course, the studio's main draw is dance classes for kids, which range from ballet and jazz to hip-hop and tap.
But the dance classes represent just half of what the studio has to offer. It also holds dance-inspired fitness classes. For example, at Soma Forma barre classes students lean on the ballet barre as they perform small isometric movements designed to sculpt muscles that rival a ballerina's.
"Awesome place love the class!"
"Great new studio near Katy/Fulshear!"
"Love it! Very clean and friendly staff. The barre class was fantastic and the prices can't be beat. Also, it's a very convenient location for those of us that live..."
"Love it! Very clean and friendly staff. The barre class was fantastic and the prices can't be beat. Also, it's a very convenient location for those of us that live far from Houston or sugarland."

The Hidden Reality
Author | Brian Greene |
Subject | Multiverse |
Genre | Non-fiction |
Publisher | Alfred A. Knopf |
Publication date
January 25, 2011 |
Media type | Print (Hardcover and Paperback), also Audiobook |
Pages | 384 |
Preceded by | Icarus at the Edge of Time |
The Hidden Reality is a book by Brian Greene published in 2011 which explores the concept of the multiverse and the possibility of parallel universes. It has been nominated for the Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books for 2012.
In his book, Greene discussed nine types of parallel universes:
- The quilted multiverse only works in an infinite universe. With an infinite amount of space, every possible event will occur an infinite number of times. However, the speed of light prevents people from being aware of these other identical areas.
- The inflationary multiverse is composed of various pockets where inflaton fields collapse and form new universes.
- The brane multiverse follows from M-theory and states that each universe is a three-dimensional brane that exists with many others. Particles are bound to their respective branes except for gravity.
- The cyclic multiverse has multiple branes (each a universe) that collided, causing Big Bangs. The universes bounce back and pass through time, until they are pulled back together and collide again, destroying the old contents and creating them anew.
- The landscape multiverse relies on string theory's Calabi-Yau shapes. Quantum fluctuations drop the shapes to a lower energy level, creating a pocket with a different set of laws from the surrounding space.
- The quantum multiverse creates a new universe when a diversion in events occurs, as in the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
- The holographic multiverse is derived from the theory that the surface area of a space can simulate the volume of the region.
- The simulated multiverse exists on complex computer systems that simulate entire universes.
- The ultimate multiverse contains every mathematically possible universe under different laws of physics.
Timothy Ferris reports in the review in The New York Times Book Review that "If extraterrestrials landed tomorrow and demanded to know what the human mind is capable of accomplishing, we could do worse than to hand them a copy of this book." [1]
Anthony Doerr, in his On Science column of the Boston Globe, wrote that "Greene might be the best intermediary I've found between the sparkling, absolute zero world of mathematics and the warm, clumsy world of human language." Doerr praised Greene's use of analogies to explain the complex phenomena of parallel universes.[2]
John Gribbin, in the Wall Street Journal, declared that The Hidden Reality was "Mr. Greene's weakest book", but conceded that Greene's earlier books "left him with such high standards to live up to that this is not really surprising." Gribbin also criticized the lack of depth on certain subjects, such as M-theory and the interactions of three-dimensional universes.[3]
Publishers Weekly hails The Hidden Reality "An in-depth yet marvelously accessible look inside the perplexing world of modern theoretical physics and cosmology . . . Greene presents a lucid, intriguing, and triumphantly understandable state-of-the-art look at the universe."(Starred review)
Janet Maslin, The New York Times claims "Mr. Greene has a gift for elucidating big ideas . . . Exciting and rewarding . . . [The Hidden Reality] captures and engages the imagination."[4]
Popular culture[edit]
The book and its author were featured on the television series The Big Bang Theory in episode 20 of season 4, "The Herb Garden Germination".[5]

Some of our past and present Clients
"Just wanted to say that when we decided to upgrade our website for this winter, the concern was whether we would have to spend a lot of money, would we get what we wanted with a good level of service and once we had spent the money, would the service levels then drop. When choosing the right company there is always a doubt that they may not be able to deliver on the promises. Well I needn't have worried about anything as the site is great and it's easy to use and gives us all the functions missing from our old site. The value for money has been exceptional both in the build of the site and the on going upgrades and integration with other products. The most impressive thing for me has been the level of service and this has really blown me away. I think it normal in business to expect average service but the quality of the service we have received has been second to none. The turnaround time has been fantastic and no task has beaten you yet. We have had issues as you expect with a project like this, but all have been resolved no matter how long it took and I've always been kept up to date with progress.
A big thank you to all the guys at Asset ICT for a seriously good job and I would highly recommend your services to anyone. "
Phil Shaw, Director, blazewear team UK www.blazewear.com
"To whom it may concern.
It is rare indeed these days, to find a company like AssetICT.
With most modern businesses, the customer service department is a contradiction in terms and as for call centres… dont even get me started!
AssetICT have service levels I have not seen in a very long time, nothing is too much trouble, queries are always answered very promptly, sometimes within minutes, even at weekends!!
I have never experienced a problem with server downtime or indeed any technical issues in the 8 years I have dealt with them!!
On top of all that, there fees and rates are amongst the most competitive out there.
Guys… you are a class act all round, and I would have no hesitation in highly recommending you to anyone."

My GSD is pregnant. We had a ultrasound done and the vet counted 7-8 puppies. He also said she is about 28-30 days pregnant. BTW this litter is a accident. A friend was dog sitting and her dog got her so I was told. My questions are........How long till her belly gets big? And what are the odds of her absorbing or losing the puppies before they are born? Thanks

I don't know if it's possible to predict that, but if you don't want her to have this litter you can do a spay termination. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body...rmination.html
Otherwise, I'd start planning how you're going to find good homes for the puppies. |

Usually they start looking fuller, especially with a large litter, after 4.5 weeks.
Aborting the litter can happen. Friend had her bitch abort her litter 2 weeks before she was due. Cassidy's Mom's suggestion is a good one.

Meyer's script keeps traditions
Coach adds tweaks, but needs no introduction to Ohio State pageantry
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- There are already plenty of trophies on display. Pictures of All-Americans and coaching legends are seemingly on every wall.
And the traditions? It's safe to assume that a native son and a former Ohio State assistant isn't going to be scrapping helmet stickers of buckeye leaves any time soon.
The standard boilerplate for a recently hired coach that a culture change for the program is in order. But that doesn't work for Urban Meyer. The new man in charge of the Buckeyes inherited a program used to winning at a high level, historically stocked with legends both on the field and the sideline and one that takes its pageantry seriously.
And that's exactly why Meyer decided to return to coaching.
"Do we do things maybe a little bit differently? That's called different, not changing the culture. I'm relying a lot on the past, but I'm also doing it the way we know how to do it."
That includes a few holdovers from previous stops in Meyer's decorated career, though nothing so far that would qualify as a major affront to the Ohio State way of doing things. Based on a couple additions Meyer has made during his first training camp leading the Buckeyes, the modifications have been welcomed.
There was the final dinner of the offseason that included a ceremonial handing off of the roster from the strength staff to Meyer, which capped a summer that earned raves from more than one returning player.
Meyer's black stripes also made the move to Columbus. An on-field initiation dating to his time at Bowling Green, freshmen players have black stripes taped on their helmets until they earn the privilege of having the stripe removed, becoming full-fledged members of the team in ceremonial fashion.
And while Meyer has yet to coach through a game week at this point, he's given the Buckeyes no reason to think he'll mess with all the traditions they've come to love about their program.

"But with all the traditions, I mean, he's been here. He's grown up in Ohio. He knows what they are."
That hasn't always been the case for Meyer when he's arrived at a program. He needed training on the fly from his players at Utah in 2003. He was aware of what he was getting into when he left for Florida two years later, but Meyer wasn't versed in all the finer details when he arrived.
He obviously learned and adapted at both stops, but Meyer can skip that step this time around.
"I love Utah, but I didn't really understand Utah," Meyer said. "I would ask the players to educate me. Same thing with Florida -- I didn't know about 'We Are The Boys.' I didn't know about the traditions. We started a lot of our own.
"But I don't have to rely on a lot of people to tell me about the traditions of Ohio State. I lived it, I breathed it, I know it and I love it."
And most importantly, he didn't come back to change it.

Add a CommentA recommendation from Kelly at the Raven Bookstore inspired me to buy this book. Obreht's book is complex with a few intense, violent details -- not an easy read. Natalia, the main character, is coping with the death of her grandfather. This was especially touching for me with my personal grief.
By complete coincidence (if you believe in such a thing) I ended up reading this book and Alexi Zentner's Touch at the same time. Both are family stories in which a younger narrator reflects on his grandfather's life stories; both are very strongly evocative of a certain place and time and both are interwoven with myth and folklore. I had no idea when I picked both books up a) how similar they'd turn out to be and b) that Tea Obreht and Alexi Zentner are best friends. Both books are wonderful and well worth a read; I couldn't say one is stronger than the other, or more memorable, but I will say that The Tiger's Wife was more suspenseful. (Though I wish she would've called Belgrade by its name instead of "The City".)
I was compelled to buy this book after reading the recommendation from Kelly at the Raven Bookstore!
I was excited to read a novel based in the Balkans (an unnamed country), and it had won several prestigious awards. The beginning was strong. I enjoyed the stories of the past, depicting village life and especially of musicians and of those who are disabled, and of the present, showing how different generations respond to on-going war.
The ending started to fall apart, though. It felt as though the poetic and magical-realism writing style had overpowered the plot. There were too many colorful characters introduced in the last fifth of the book whose entire biographies had to be recounted. And the ending -- I still did not understand why the grandfather left to die alone, or the deathless man, or ... a bit frustrating.
But this is a talented author and a new voice. I look forward to reading future works by her, and to learning more about this area of the world through her writing.
This is excellent book which will introduce you to Balkan countries, present, past legends and connection to rest of the world. I personally admire young author and her poetic description of animals. I am also very found of her relationship with her grandfather, her recall of childhood and stories, his stories and her stories she grow up with and how language generally reflect our life, job, politics, nations.
I wanted to stop reading around page 100, but read the reviews and made it through this book which had its moments...but it never really came together for me.
The integration of the parallel story-lines is not seamless, but I found this to be a compelling and enjoyable read. This book made me want to learn more about the history of this part of the world. I was much more intrigued by the stories from the past than the present-day narrative, though I can see that each is essential to the completeness of the book.
This was one of the Blind Date with a Book books. I thought the Grandfather's stories were more interesting than the modern day stories and the ending was weak. I have a feeling that I don't know enough about Balkan history or mythology to enjoy this book fully.
My friend Caroline picked this book to kick off our book club this year. I have always wanted to read it, saw it in all the major book stores, on all the big lists of the books you must read and its just a neat cover. It took me a little while to get into the book as I really didn't understand what it was about but what hooked me was her writing. Her imagery and writing style is just beautiful. I will definitely be reading another one of her books based just on that.
My favorite parts of the book were the stories of The Deathless Man. Throughout the book you learn about her grandfather, his childhood, his life and his experiences through the stories that he told her as she was growing up. It was very touching to learn how much she loved her grandfather and what an impact he had on her life.
What bothered me most about this book was that the tiger had no point, there was no reason for the tiger or the tiger's wife other than they had never seen a tiger before in her grandfather's village. This was a dark book and at some points violent. It was extremely interesting to read, I enjoyed it and will recommend it to others.
Add a QuoteIt took him a long time to ask, "Been around children much?" He wasn't looking at me, so he didn't see me shrug. After a while, I shrugged again, tapped my book with a pencil. Eventually, I asked: "Why?" He sat up, pushed his chair away from the table and rubbed his knees. "When men die, they die in fear," he said. "They take everything they need from you, and as a doctor it is your job to give it, to comfort them, to hold their hand. But children die how they have been living—in hope. They don't know what's happening, so they expect nothing, they don't ask you to hold their hand—but you end up needing them to hold yours. With children, you're on your own. Do you understand?
Add a SummaryAmid the war-scarred landscape of a fictionalized Balkan country, a young doctor, Natalia, faces superstition and secrecy on a humanitarian trip to an orphanage across the border. At the same time, she searches for the truth of her grandfather's mysterious final days and his solitary death in a small country village. In Eastern Orthodox tradition, we learn, "the forty days of the soul begin on the morning after death." During that time, it will "make its way to the places of its past." Natalia must return home with her grandfather's personal effects before those forty days pass so that his soul can find its way. Des Plaines Readers' Services/Ms_Fitz

XoftSpy SE Anti-Spyware User Reviews
"Stopped updates of their software"
Version: XoftSpy SE Anti-Spyware 7.0
Worked seamlessly in the past, no conflicts with Norton program, picked up most malware, spy ware etc.
They stopped writing software updates as of December 10, 2012. Their explanation is they are writing a new version, to be out shortly. This is the same excuse I got from their customer support team in July, 2012 when the software stooped updating on a weekly update. Since that time there have been only 2 updates one in September 2012 and another in December 2012.
They software unfortunately is worthless as of today (Feb 5, 2013) because the software is not updating. If they ever come out with a new version It may be good. BUT IN THE MEAN TIME THEY SHOULD BE SUPPORTING THE CURRENT VERSION WITH WEEKLY UPDATES. I PAID FOR 1 YEAR SERVICE WITH THE WEEKLY UPDATES BUT I AM NOT GETTING IT ANYMORE.

The ship arrived surrounded by fog's dew, his years she carried on her seaward tracks, the wide upfront, horizon's line was dark, - a stork he was, comradely to her crew. (Thus, curious, he stood upon the moors, projecting epitome of their rejoice, and stern, the sea-waves' hum, repressed their voice, enduring memory the dusk allures.) A trenchant stork, with harbors in cahoot, side-gazing for the sunken to discern, Perceived the sea-men deftness and concern, applied the color of night's darkened soot. The dusk abraded then, the ship's details, still numbness; maybe was the ship that stared, as his persistent - curious eyes paired with mind's perseverance, head-rope and brails. Around the ship quizzical boats tripped, like wooden cradles-coffins, they were stray, companions lost beyond skylines' array, sea's signalizing roar, on moorings whipped. ( Their sacrosanct ascent designed the stairs, for spotless angels to walk amidst light blue, like then the stork recited what was true, - a dark night ship, for his bird's story cares. And then they fled to skies - two comets' glows that cut through distances, in ardent Spring a song for wanderers, harmonic link, - the emerald of Aegean shallows. ) What foolishness of storks, invites the ship, stray souls to marry in night's ebon phase, two finger-funnels tall, on skies to praise, wraiths' upstage flight, on everlasting trip? © G.V. 09/25/2012 All Rights Reserved (Iambic Pentameter)

A major car wreck in Brunswick County on Wednesday sent drivers to the hospital.
Authorities say it happened around 3:00 p.m. Preliminary reports say a car collided with a tractor trailer on River Road and Hwy 87 near Southport.
Some of the victims had to be airlifted from the scene; there is no word yet on their condition.
