MOSCOW – A new controversy has emerged involving Russian band Pussy Riot.
A publisher here is planning to bring out a book billed as having been written by three members of the controversial female punk band. However, it has emerged that it was using their names and blog posts without appropriate permissions.
Earlier this week, three Russian online book stores announced pre-orders for the book Pussy Riot: Chto Eto Bylo (Pussy Riot: What Was It?). The book is published by the Moscow-based publisher Algoritm under the names of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich.
Two of them are currently serving two-year sentences for Pussy Riot's controversial performance at Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral last February, while Samutsevich was released last month. The band had performed a "punk prayer" against Russian president Vladimir Putin and were convicted of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred."
The Pussy Riot members said they had nothing to do with the book, saying it is simply a compilation of various interviews with the feminist punk rockers and their blog posts.
Later, the publisher admitted that it put together the book without appropriate permissions. "The texts collected in that book were taken from public sources, but we confirm that neither Tolokonnikova, nor Samutsevich, nor Alyokhina, nor their representatives gave us permission for publication," Sergei Nikolayev, Algoritm's general director, said in a statement on the publisher's web site, quoted by wire service RIA Novosti. Later, the statement was taken off the web site.
It is not clear when exactly the book is scheduled to hit stores and if lawsuits could block its distribution. So far, at least one journalist whose text was used in the book she was going to sue the publisher. Zoya Svetova, a reporter for the New Times magazine, said she would file a lawsuit for the unauthorized use of her interview with Samutsevich, published last August.
Meanwhile, Russian daily Kommersant reported that Pussy Riot's former lawyers were allegedly negotiating with the publisher about the book, but the deal eventually fell through. The report also suggested that there could be an out-of-court settlement between the publisher and the band.
"The publisher apologized and said it was ready to take steps for resolving the situation to avoid litigation," Samutsevich's lawyer was quoted as saying. "But a decision about further action should come from the Pussy Riot members."

Over a year after I bought my Precision M90 laptop, I tried to upgrade it to 4GB RAM. Turns out there's a hardware limitation (in the northbridge, I believe) which prevents more than 3.25GB from being accessible. No mention of it anywhere, in fact the documentation says the laptop supports 4GB! Liars.
if you had read the article
You demand the impossible.
I remember severe issues with the SFF GX150 some years ago. If you ever had one fry and need a motherboard replacement, that is because the Power Supply's fan was reversed; instead of pulling hot air out, it forced hot air into the case. I informed Dell and more than 80% of the GX150's I had were like this. They never owned up to the problem and just kept going, replacing dozens of motherboards along the way. Idiots!
This was a feature. It was intended to keep hot air from escaping into the office warming it to an uncomfortable level. A higher end machine was planned with a reversable fan for the winter time.

This is not true, the innards of a mac appear differently to different people. To me it was a cluster of rainbow butterflies. Sadly, they all flew away when I opened the case.

Do you know where J-lo's tights are from/where I can buy?
thanks in advance
Lol @ Pitbull's pants.
I initially hated JLOs body suit but after watching it in motion I was actually impressed. I haven't been on board for all her looks for this latest album but this was cute.
I feel just awful about this blue ivy petition… I shamefully have criticized her hair and reading that petition I felt that twinge of guilt. She's a baby and due to her celebrity parents a simple google search will present her with that link a few years from now. Sighs. This baby has MILLIONS, it's just hair. Anyway whatever they are doing, it's still doing what it's supposed to which is… Grow! She's still a cute kid. Happy Friday folks!
I actually thought that Claudia's outfit was way better than J. Lo's. She has amazing legs which fit perfect with that outfit. And I'm a huge Jenny fan, but I didn't like what she had on.
That World Cup performance was the absolute pits. Especially pitbull's outfit!!!
The Blue Ivy petition is tacky, but if you post pictures on social media & you've got thousands if not millions of followers and you control your own image as tightly as possible–comb your child's hair. The folks who are acting like it's about natural hair hate are missing the point. Natural hair still needs maintenance, whether adult or child.
@Georgia I agree. I have natural hair, and although I do not have a daughter, if I did I would never put a relaxer nor hot comb to it. That being said I would still comb my baby's hair. And if I was too busy to, I would pay somebody to do it.
Being natural I'm sure I'm sure it took u time to figure out what worked and what didn't. Beyonces a new mom of a 2 year old. She's figuring it out
Pitbull looking like Mr. Evil though…
Claudia has them legs…
See, this picture you posted here of Blue Ivy and her hair is perfectly fine here. It looks combed, and it is twisted. The image that led to/that is being associated with the petition is the one where Jay-Z is holding her and Beyonce is wearing the Rodarte hoodie. Her hair did look pretty bad. And it wasn't just "oh, my child just woke up" type of hair…. that poor little girls hair looked like part of it was twisted (maybe even loc'ing), while the other part was just sticking and separated every which way. This has NOTHING to do with her being natural, because there are a plethora of children who have natural (and even coarser hair, but still keep it maintained. Nothing is wrong with a brush and moisturizer. If a White celebrity walked around with their kid's hair all over the place and seemingly un-combed, I'm sure people would speak up too.
JLo gave a bit of life to the opening ceremony. Rita Ora is so overrated. And come on guys Blue Ivy is just a child
Yesss @Shelly hit the nail on the head! and its noooo shade AT ALLL
Beyoncé and Jay Z ya'll should be ashamed of how you tote this child around with her hair looking all crazy. YOU KNOW you saw several jars of BLUE MAGIC (no pun intended) growing up! Grab a brush, get some blue magic and do this childs hair or have someone do it for you! But for you to spend MILLIONS on your own hair and just leave her looking any kind of way is wrong. We don't need a petition to say that. WRONG WRONG WRONG

COLUMBIA -- Alshon Jeffery elected to stay home and go to South Carolina.
Seven games, 848 yards and six touchdowns into his sophomore season, the Gamecocks are pleased with that decision.
Jeffery is, too.
"Everything happens for a reason," he said Wednesday. "I'm glad I'm here."
The St. Matthews native was once a Southern Cal commitment. Had he proceeded with his plan to move to Los Angeles, he would have been mired in the NCAA fallout that prompted Pete Carroll's flight to the NFL.
One way or another, if Jeffery hadn't selected South Carolina, he would have been coached by Lane Kiffin.
Kiffin came on strong in the recruiting process, nearly convincing Jeffery to come to Tennessee and be part of
Southern Cal (East). Of course, then Kiffin wound up replacing Carroll at Southern Cal (proper).
Funny how things worked out, although Jeffery didn't have much to add on those subjects.
"Man, I'm not going to talk about that," Jeffery said, softly and with a smile on his face.
Whatever he thinks about it or ever thought about it -- and you know it has crossed his mind, to some extent -- he doesn't feel the need to share.
Jeffery would rather play ball. You have to respect that.
The entire country is coming to admire Jeffery's game, in fact.
He's currently third in the country in receiving yards a game, behind only Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon (158.9 yards a game) and Hawaii's Greg Salas (133.5).
Jeffery, though, has done it in significantly fewer catches (49) than Blackmon (62) and Salas (70), illustrating his big-play ability.
Jeffery has 14 plays of 20-plus yards and five of more than 40 yards this season. He had five 20-plus-yard plays against Auburn, now the No. 1 team in the BCS.
Blackmon and Jeffery were SI.com's midseason All-Americans at receiver.
In Jeffery's past 15 games, since bursting on the season a year ago against Kentucky, he has 90 catches for 1,550 yards and 11 touchdowns.
He has been over 100 yards in every game this season, with the exceptions of Furman and Kentucky.
Against Furman, Jeffery had five catches for 97 yards in about half the game. At Kentucky, he had four catches for 53 yards at the half, but a thigh bruise and an injury to teammate Marcus Lattimore curbed his second half and he finished with six catches for 65 yards.
"He's incredible," Lattimore said this week. "Hands down, he's the best I've seen. He's the best receiver in the nation, I think. He's going to be great."
In reality, he was before Lattimore arrived. But Lattimore has made Jeffery even better.
With a legitimate running threat, defenses can't focus on Jeffery as much. That creates better matchups over the course of the game.
Tennessee coach Derek Dooley joked (sort of) this week that Lattimore is "licking his chops" when he sees film of the Vols' young and banged-up defense.
Lattimore will start Saturday, coach Steve Spurrier said Thursday.
It's one of the best running back/receiver duos in the country, much less the SEC.
"They're just going to be arguing with the head coach on whether to run it or throw it, because both of them look good," Dooley said. " 'We ought to run it, coach. Look at the film.' 'I know, but have you seen the film on throwing it?'
"What we're hoping is they start arguing a little bit about what to do."
Last week, even without Lattimore, South Carolina made school history by having two 100-yard receivers and a 100-yard rusher in the same game.
Jeffery was the second receiver over 100 yards, capping the Vanderbilt win with a 72-yard touchdown catch on a scramble play.
Junior quarterback Stephen Garcia has learned to look for Jeffery when he's in trouble. In that instance, he caught sight of Jeffery in one-on-one coverage and lofted it up for the 6-4, 233-pound target.
Jeffery caught it and took off with what Spurrier has called "sneaky" speed.
"He's fun to throw to," Garcia said. "He's just very football smart. He knows exactly what to do, just on every single play. He knows coverages, knows how to get open and knows how to catch the ball."
Earlier this week, Spurrier was willing to put Lattimore and Jeffery -- without even three combined years of playing on the college level -- into a group of the most talented players he's ever coached.
"If he gets his hands on it, usually we're in good shape," Spurrier said of Jeffery. "He's a very talented player. We try to throw as many at him as we can."

Information on anyone having MRSA
My son-in-law has it and now my daughter also does. I understood that 90% of people have the bacteria on their bodies so anyone can get it. Seems if that is true it is a pretty big coincidence that two people in the same family have it.
MRSA is a highly contagious, antibiotic resistant staph infection and must be aggressively treated with more current types of antibiotics to rid the patient of the infection. Anyone coming in contact with the infection itself, or the body fluids of one who has this staff infection, risks infecting themselves. Both your son-in-law and daughter should be under a doctor's care. Patients who contract MRSA while in a hospital are automatically quarantined until the infection is cured...and patient visitors must wear disposable gowns, surgical masks and gloves if they wish to visit a MRSA patient.
Please take heed [and care] if you're visiting your daughter while she and her husband are still infected. Their use of antibiotics does not preclude your becoming infected if you're not cautious and don't use the preventive measures mentioned above. The only way to assure that they're cured is by a laboratory blood test indicating that their white blood cells are back within a normal range.

[0001] Computers have become an indispensable tool for people to run and manage the modern world. Computer and Internet applications routinely reach across oceans and continents without regard for borders or national identities. While the computers themselves typically communicate and operate together in relatively universal, if not type-specific, machine languages, the individuals using the computers generally speak any number of the different languages of the world. These languages may or may not be the same as the language of the computer programmer. Thus, an English version of Microsoft Word (TM) or Amazon.com (TM) may not typically be useful to a person living in Ghuangzho, China who speaks only Cantonese or Mandarin, or to a person living in Yaroslavl, Russia, who speaks only Russian. Not only would the language be incompatible, but a computer may also need a completely new set of graphics drivers to render the Chinese ideographs or Cyrillic alphabet.
[0002] Moreover, a generic German version of Microsoft Word (TM) or Amazon.com (TM) may convey different, if not improper or incorrect, messages between German-speaking people living in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In addition to the interpretational differences caused by different regional dialects, different cultures may perceive graphical images or colors in many different ways. For example, in China, green, purple, and/or black may typically have a negative connotation associated therewith. Similarly, a cross may be perceived negatively by different cultures. For example, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies typically uses a red cross symbol in the West to represent the participating organization. However, in the Middle East and mostly-Islamic countries a red crescent is used because of the connotation associated with a cross in those countries.
[0003] To increase the reach and marketability of computer software and the Internet, software manufacturers and Internet companies typically have begun providing software and websites in many different languages. Many of these language solutions are based on local settings in the operating system of the user's computer. When a software application is loaded or a website visited, the local setting in the operating system may be used to select the language version presented in the application or on the website. Additional solutions are generally offered directly to the user when loading software or accessing compatible websites. In software applications, a properties box may be displayed to the user to choose the desired language for the application. Similarly, websites many times display flag icons or option hyperlinks representing alternate language versions.
[0004] Some software applications may also generally use regional settings to configure the presentation of times, currency, numbers, etc. For example, some operating systems allow a user to select the region in which the computer is located. When certain applications are run on the computer, the applications may use the regional settings of the operating system to display the proper time format or even the proper currency. Because these regional settings may generally customize down to the currency, the optional choices allow designation of a particular country or region. However, in these types of applications, language, colors, and symbols are typically not variable using the selected regional setting.
[0005] The current methods for extending the reach and usability of computers and the Internet only typically address languages. While many websites and computer applications offer different and various language-specific versions, there are no universally accessible websites or software applications which offer optional culture-specific versions. One problem with the lack of culture-specific applications is the potential for offending different users. The problem may not generally have a severe impact on widely-used software applications, but may create a large negative impact on commercial websites in which potential customers are offended by a seemingly innocuous symbol or color.
[0006] A further problem with the current methods for addressing the language variations is that it requires the interaction of the user. The user must set the language profile or must choose the optional language. This may, in and of itself, create a problem if the user cannot understand the directions necessary to change to language. Furthermore, a user may not even know that there is a way to change the language because of a lack of familiarity with computers.
[0007] In consideration of the problems of the current methods, it would be desirable to have a dynamic language and culture interface protocol that automatically communicates the appropriate language and culture preferences to a software application or website for presenting a culture-specific interface to the user.
[0008] The present invention is directed to a system and method for providing a dynamic language and culture interface protocol to facilitate the presentation of a culture-specific interface to a user. In the preferred embodiment, a cultural interface protocol application that can be used on a computer system is disclosed comprising a user profile that defines particular cultural attributes and that is stored in the computer's memory. A protocol interface within the protocol application allows the application to communicate and interface with any compatible host or client application. An algorithm within the application determines certain ones of the cultural attributes in the user profile to communicate to the host or client application. Once the appropriate cultural attributes have been communicated to the client application, it is configured specifically according to those particular cultural attributes. Thus, the host or client application may be customized according to the culture of the protocol application user's specific cultural makeup.
[0009]FIG. 1A is a screen shot from a prior art operating system dialog box allowing for user choices for basic regional settings;
[0010]FIG. 1B is a screen shot from a prior art computer application dialog box allowing a user to choose the basic language for the application interface;
[0011]FIG. 2A is a screen shot from a prior art Internet website providing an optional language hyperlink;
[0012]FIG. 2B is a screen shot from the prior art Internet website depicted in FIG. 2A presented in the optional language;
[0013]FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a preferred embodiment of the present invention configured to provide a dynamic culture-specific Internet web interface; and
[0014]FIG. 4 is a flow chart describing the steps of an alternative embodiment of the present invention for providing a culture-specific graphical user interface.
[0015] The current methods for varying the presentation of client applications, such as software applications or Internet websites, generally allow a user to choose a single language or to set certain regional preferences for how numbers, dates, and/or times are presented. FIG. 1A is a screen shot resulting from one such prior art method included in an operating system application. Regional setting dialog box 10 presents list 11 of different languages and the originating countries for a user to choose. By choosing a particular language/region from list 11, other compatible applications running on the computer will read the selected regional settings and display items such as dates, times, currencies, etc., in the manner consistent with the user-selected language/region choice. For example, in many parts of the world, the date is displayed day, month, year (e.g., 28/01/2001 for Jan. 28, 2001). Similarly, in some countries, decimal/periods are replaced with commas in numbers (e.g., 100,00 instead of 100.00). Other software applications which read the regional settings information will, therefore, reconfigure the way in which the numbers and dates are presented to the user.
[0016]FIG. 1B is another screen shot resulting from a prior art method in computer applications or programs for providing multiple language choices for a user to choose the basic language of an application's interface. Dialog box 12 presents list 13 of the different languages available for the particular computer application. When the user chooses a language from list 13, the program continues setting up or installing itself onto the host computer using the chosen language. All subsequent interfaces between the user and the application will then typically be with the chosen language.
[0017]FIGS. 2A and 2B are screen shots resulting from the prior art methods for allowing optional languages on Internet websites. Web page 200 displays normal graphics and textual information to a user. One of the hyperlinked buttons displayed is language button 20. Language button 20 offers the user the option to view web page 200 in German. The label on language button 20 is written in German in order to provide a familiar key for German users viewing web page 200.
[0018] Upon actuation of language button 20, web page 200 is re-configured using the German-language version as shown in FIG. 2B. As will be appreciated from FIG. 2B, web page 201 comprises substantially the same graphics and textual information as web page 200 from FIG. 2A, except that the textual information of web page 201 is present to the user in German. German version web page 201 now displays language button 21 which offers the option to view web page 201 in English. However, other than the language change between web pages 200 (FIG. 2A) and 201 (FIG. 2B), there is no discernable change in the presentation of the website.
[0019] Turning now to the present invention, the next extension is preferably implemented by dynamically placing cultural awareness into the client application interface in such a way that the user's cultural profile would not only determine the person's location, but also identify the language and preferably even the dialect with which to interface or interact with the user. In a preferred embodiment of the inventive cultural specific user interface, the user ethnicity objects are entered into a cultural user profile. The system would then preferably interface with a client application for exchanging information concerning the user profile and the client application. The available graphical user interface (GUI) parameters of the client application would then preferably be analyzed. Based on the results of the analysis, selected ethnicity objects would preferably be communicated to the client application. Using these communicated objects, a GUI of the client application would preferably be configured according to the communicated ethnicity objects.
[0020]FIG. 3 illustrates such a preferred embodiment of the present invention configured for providing a culture-specific user interface. A user of computer 30 configured with an operating system and/or application according the preferred embodiment of the present invention begins the application by entering all relevant and user-ranked cultural information to build cultural profile 31. Cultural profile 31 would preferably comprise a list of languages preferred by the user and ranked in a hierarchical order of most-preferred to least-preferred. The user would then preferably enter his or her location as well as his or her ethnic origin and a religious preference. Using this information, cultural profile 31 is able to provide a depth of information regarding the user that can preferably be used with compatible client applications, such as other computer programs or Internet websites.
[0021]FIG. 3 is a block diagram that can be used to illustrate a scenario in which computer 30, with resident cultural profile 31, interacts with website 32. Website 32 typically comprises server 33 and database 34 for driving the presentation of website 32. In a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, website 32 is a compatible application. As computer 30 establishes a link to website 32, the information exchanged between the two preferably allows computer 30 to determine which interface attributes of website 32 are variable based on varying ethnicity objects contained in cultural profile 31. Computer 30 would also preferably be able to determine whether server 33 or database 34 store the necessary information to support any of the ethnicity objects of cultural profile 31. For example, website 32 may support Mandarin, but not Cantonese. Computer 30 would then preferably determine that the Mandarin cultural attribute of cultural profile 31 would be communicated to website 32 even though it is not the most-favored language of the user as listed in cultural profile 31.
[0022] After computer 30 determines the various cultural objects to communicate, those objects are preferably transmitted to website 32 for use in configuring the graphical user interface (GUI) presented to the user. Server 33 analyzes the cultural objects received from computer 30 and preferably retrieves the appropriate image and language objects from database 34 to render in the GUI for the user. The user is then preferably presented with a culture-specific website.
[0023] When implemented in software, the elements of the present invention are essentially the code segments to perform the necessary tasks. The program or code segments can be stored in a processor readable medium or transmitted by a computer data signal embodied in a carrier wave, or a signal modulated by a carrier, over a transmission medium. The �processor readable medium� may include any medium that can store or transfer information. Examples of the processor readable medium include an electronic circuit, a semiconductor memory device, a ROM, a flash memory, an erasable ROM (EROM), a floppy diskette, a compact disk CD-ROM, an optical disk, a hard disk, a fiber optic medium, a radio frequency (RF) link, etc. The computer data signal may include any signal that can propagate over a transmission medium such as electronic network channels, optical fibers, air, electromagnetic, RF links, etc. The code segments may be downloaded via computer networks such as the Internet, Intranet, etc.
[0024] In a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, website 32 is not necessarily compatible with the culture-specific protocol. However, website 32 is defined in an extensible language which may be mapped onto by information supplied by computer 30. In this embodiment of the present invention, computer 30 and website 32 preferably communicate to establish the link between them. In communicating the appropriate protocol signals, computer 30 preferably determines which of the graphical and textual objects of website 32 may be varied. Computer 30 will preferably store a database of culture-specific mapping objects which may be transmitted to website 32 for customizing the GUI to the user's ethnicity as defined in culture profile 31. Once computer 30 determines all of the variable parameters of website 32's GUI, the specific ethnicity mapping objects from computer 30 memory are preferably transmitted to website 32 and server 33 to render the customized GUI presented to the user.
[0025] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to either one or the other of the embodiments referred to above. Alternative embodiments of the present invention may incorporate both the ability to interact with compatible websites or to push the culture-specific mapping objects onto the incompatible websites to create the culture-specific GUI presentation.
[0026]FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the steps used in implementing a preferred embodiment of the present inventive cultural interface protocol. In step 400, a user cultural profile is created by preferably entering user ethnicity objects. The cultural interface protocol operates with other applications or websites. Therefore, the cultural protocol preferably interfaces with such a client application in step 401. The interfacing preferably provides information about the cultural protocol to the host as well as providing information about the host to the cultural protocol. In step 402, the inventive cultural protocol preferably analyzes the available GUI parameters of the client application to determine which of such parameters may be changed or varied according the ethnicity objects entered in step 400. In step 403, the cultural protocol preferably selects the appropriate ethnicity objects in the cultural profile for communicating to the client application. These selected ethnicity objects are then preferably communicated to the client application in step 404. In step 405, the client application preferably configures its GUI according to the particular ethnicity objects received from the cultural protocol. The client application will preferably obtain graphical and textual mapping objects from a related database or even from the cultural protocol's computer system to render the GUI. The resulting culture-specific GUI is preferably then presented to the user.
[0027] It should be noted that alternative embodiments of the present invention may be configured in many different ways. In one alternative embodiment, the inventive cultural protocol may come pre-installed on a computer or its operating system with a minimum basic user profile based on the destination address of the computer. Therefore, if a user chooses not to explore customizing the computer system, it will still preferably be able to present a certain degree of culture-specific information to the user. The user would preferably be capable of editing the default cultural parameters, thus creating a more deeply customized cultural interface.
[0028] It should further be noted that each embodiment of the present invention would preferably incorporate the ability to change or add to the ethnicity objects or languages preferred by the user.
[0029] Another alternative embodiment may come pre-installed on a computer without any cultural profile information or parameters entered. In such an embodiment, the cultural protocol could preferably prompt the user to enter any number of desired cultural attributes or parameters to fully take advantage of the inventive system.
[0030] In another embodiment, the inventive cultural protocol may preferably be sold or obtained as a separate application or utility to install on a pre-existing system. In such embodiments, the installation process may preferably prompt the user the enter appropriate ethnicity objects for allowing customized future interfaces.

pics of the table i purchased from cl
I finally got around to posting the pics of the table that I purchased off CL for $75.00. It is in ok shape and now I have to figure out how to maximize the beauty of it. We did put a bit of restore a finish on the top when we were with the seller. It helped the grain a bit but some of the veneer has peeled and as you can see on the bottom, there are spots.
A bunch of you have mentioned tung oil and restore a finish and I'm wondering whether I should use one or both on the table.
The one thing that bugs me is the large round circle on the top. Not sure what it is (seller didn't know). I'm hoping that once I place items on the table the large circle won't be so prominent.
Are those white dots from the camera or are they in the wood finish?
The furniture refinishing guys (can't remember what they called themselves but I think they were on TLC) used a formula that contained toothpaste to fix those spots. Not sure why. I know that toothpaste has a marble base to it. I would do some searching for white spots on furniture and see if you can come up with something to do or better yet, ask on the antique or paint forum. If memory serves, it was not a big deal to eradicate those white spots with something natural. Great piece of furniture and certainly worth the time and effort to remove the ugly white spots.
I mentioned in your other thread about how I saw a table like this at an estate sale. It had not been sold at the end of the last day. The people handling the estate sale were the relatives who had no experience in this type of thing.
The table I saw, was in the basement with a whole lot of other wood furniture. I pointed out that the table and other things had MOLD on them. It was a white film in circular, symetrical patterns mostly on the bottom of items on the legs but evidence was all over the items. It was the reason I did not buy it the first day I saw it. The sellers argued with me that it was not mold. They said mold was GREEN. Argh.
When I went back the last day the basement reeked of bleach. The table was soaked wet. The visual evidence of the mold was gone. This is not the way to get rid of mold on wood. It would only make the problem worse. I declined buying the wet table.
Your table may have mold on it growing. The mold spores may be deep into the wood cells. This would need to be addressed before oiling it ar adding a finish to seal it.
Love the Table, It is Beautious.
The spots on the bottom could it be that the table has some sort of Wax or has had wax containing products applied to it over the years...and then water dripped ...making the wax bubble. It looks as though it has been water mared. Maybe they had a plant on the bottom shelf at one time that leaked.
My girl friend re-finishes antique furniture for a living - SHE would def know what that is. You can email her at her website. firstname.lastname@example.com - Just make sure you attach that photo with the spots.
She is a one woman show. She is Amazing and extremely knowledgeable of vintage furniture. She will answer you. She would love to help. Her name is Brooke
If you want to see her work before you contact her - her site is http://www.treschicboutiqueonline.com
She is the only one that re-finishes her furniture, she is the goddess of what to do and not to do with Vintage furniture. Beautiful Table you have there - I love it.
Dilly, I didn't see your post in my other thread. I guess it scrolled off and I couldn't find it that's why I started a new one. Mold, oy vey! I sure hope not and I didn't even think about something that serious. I'm new to buying old furniture, I should have done my homework.
I did cross post on the woodworking forum so hopefully I'll get some responses there.
Carmin and Patricia, thanks for your tips as well.
Often moisture will leave white spots on old finishes. That's why you often see white glass "rings" on tables. In fact we have a 1901 bedroom set that we used to have in the guest room. A guest left their towel, after showering, across the footboard. The finish turned white where the moisture touched it. I was able to remove the "white" by using a product I had purchased at an antique store. Sorry I don't remember the name and I have since used it all and the bottle got thrown away! :-( I think it was some kind of antique "restorer".
As the white on your table appears to be "droplets" I suspect that water was spilled and not completely wiped up.
I concur that the white spots are likely water spots.
I am not a big fan of Restor-a-finish.
Most of the things labeled "Tung Oil [Finish]" are in fact not tung oil and do not even contain tung oil in them. They are merely wiping (highly thinned) varnishes.
Look at the link below and start with that approach, a good cleaning and spruce up.
Here is a link that might be useful: Saving the finish
Bob, thank you! I saw some of your posts in the woodworking forum and I so hoped you would pipe in with suggestions. I will definitely read the links you attached and educate myself on what to do.
I saw how Valinsiv(sp?) tables came out after your recommendations. I'm hoping to have the same luck.
I will keep everyone posted!
Dilly the spots are only on the horizontal surface as shown in the pictures. My only other concern is that the veneer is peeling on the table top in a small area. It is the same area as the large round circle thingy I mentioned above. You can see it better in the last two pictures I posted.
I forgot to ask Bob will I have a problem following his directions if the veneer is peeling on the table top.
Hi Deb: This is a lovely table. You've done good. Most antiques do have some sort of issue or another with them--see my thread on my DR chairs--so we have to take some measures to preserve their beauty. The top looks to have a lot of figured wood to me and is to be prized. Bobysmyuncle is certainly very knowledgeable with any questions about woodworking. What I've had success with myself is the combination of cleaning with mineral spirits followed by Murphy's Oil soap (probably has a similar effect as the Dawn dishsoap recommended in the article he linked). I actually am a fan of Restore-a-Finish, though he does not recommend it. It is very easy to use and difficult to mess up a piece if you are an ameteur. I put it on using 000 steel wool rubbing in the direction of the grain. I'd try that first on those water spots (which was my first thought as well). Do you know the wood species? I'm guessing Walnut.
I've been a THS member for years but I rarely post. I'm a longtime lurker. I wanted to share a method to remove water spots (old and new). I found this online on one of those frugal living websites. I've used this twice with excellent results. It involves mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip but real maynonaise out of the jar), wood ash, and a hand-held blow dryer.
I took about a cup of mayo and added fine wood ash to it until the mayo was a medium gray color. I got the wood ash from our fireplace. Very fine ashes work best. Mix together until smooth. Then take a cloth and rub the mixture into the wood while directing hot air from a blow dryer over the area. What worked best for me was to keep the dryer moving; you want a steadily moving stream of hot air. If your dryer is very hot, start with the lowest setting. Use a SOFT cloth. An old diaper is good; I used a T-shirt.
I used mayo and ash to successfully remove extremely old water spots as well as more recent ones. You might want to try this on just ONE water spot as a test. I would not recommend this method for veneer; I'd be worried the heat would lift up the veneer. But where your spots are look like solid wood.
This site was my reference for this method. The site has other postings on removing water spots, too.
Here is a link that might be useful: Removing Water Spots
Violet and Val, thanks so much for your suggestions. I'm going to work on the table this weekend. I will be sure to post pics when I'm done.
Val, I saw your thread on your DR chairs, good luck! I still love, love how your tables came out. If you ever decide to sell them, let me know!
It appears to me that the large circle on top of the table is from where an item like a vase or statue was on the table and the table was exposed to sunlight for a long time. It seems that the table top is faded and where the vase or statue was is the original color and finish.

HAVE: 2 Concrete Planters, 2 Cast Iron Urns, 2 Gardenia Radicans
pam_3(GA 7b)May 4, 2008
I have two small concrete planters that are square on the top (12" square, I believe), that narrows to a slightly smaller bottom. Cute.
I also have two decorative cast iron urns.
I have 2 Gardenia radicans that are not doing well in my yard. This would be a freebie, because I'm not sure they'll make it.
Email me through gardenweb if you're interested. I'm in Gwinnett.

Everybody loves Jonah, especially the ladies. He's young, hot, sharing a cool house with his best friends Gus and Stevie, and throwing parties that rock AND keep the bills paid.
Then: that awkward moment when your random one-night stand asks, "Is that a lump?"
Boom. Jonah's got testicular cancer. His life isn't at risk, but the impending treatment will leave him completely infertile. Jonah realizes, to everyone's shock: he wants to be a dad. His attempts at the sperm bank are a failure. His only choice is natural conception. Within the next four weeks. He's gotta procreate before it's too late.
What follows is a rousing (get it?) parade of ex-girlfriends, mistaken match-ups, surrogate slip-ups and a whole lot of Baby Daddy Drama. Poor Jonah may be out of options - until he starts listening to his friends AND his heart, and realizes that a perfect candidate might be closer than anyone would think.

Japanese Cops Collar Malware-Carrying Cat 83
from the adorable-security-threats dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Having read the article it seems the real crime to be investigated here would come from:
In a particularly embarrassing episode of the investigation, the Japanese police arrested four of those unsuspecting individuals and extracted "confessions" from them, only for other institutions to receive threats containing details that only the real criminal behind the scheme would know - while the four were in custody.
But its ok.... every other confession they have gotten was totally legit, as will the next ones.
I have seen claims that standard LEO questioning techniques have been found to be able to extract confessions in up to 90% of cases, totally independentally of the persons innocence or guilt.
Yet, confessions continue to be held up as meaning something.
Does it matter if you're basking in the glow of your own smug superiority at the time?
If a kid goes missing in your neighbourhood, and you saw some guy cruising around the playground earlier, are you still going to refuse to talk to the cops on a matter of principle? How would you feel if it was your kid, and some self-righteous prick didn't talk?
"One Architecture, One OS" also translates as "One Egg, One Basket".

Dallas Cowboys: JFK Remembered
JFK Remembered: Lee Roy Jordan
November, 21, 2013
By ESPN.com staff
James Flores/Getty ImagesFormer Cowboys linebacker Lee Roy Jordan was a rookie at the time of President Kennedy's death.The former Cowboys linebacker reflects on the 50-year anniversary of the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy:
"I came out and got in my car that morning and started to go to the training room and it was all over the news. They're chasing Lee Harvey Oswald downtown. He shot the president. It was just an unbelievable shock and feeling that you had when you hear something like that. I wasn't at [the facility] yet because I had been injured two or three weeks before and I was just going in for rehab and stuff. I was on my way to the training room to get rehab work done on my body. I had punctured a kidney two or three weeks before and was out for the rest of the season.
"Everybody was just in shock that it could happen. Coach [Tom] Landry was the same way. He just couldn't believe this could happen in our country, much less our city.
"We were all so caught up with the tragedy. That's what it was. We were all just in shock I think through the meetings and through practice also. Coach Landry was very calm but I think he was very stressed out by this thing happening here in the city of Dallas. I think emotionally he was disturbed by it but he was calm, which is what you would expect from Coach Landry.
"I didn't make the trip to the game. I had to stay here. I watched it on television but we kept thinking that it would be canceled or they would cancel the entire schedule that week, but that didn't happen. I think there were mixed emotions. Maybe, well, if we go on it might take people's minds off the bad thing that happened here. I still don't know if it was a bad or good thing. I think the commissioner [Pete Rozelle] thought later on he wished he had not made the decision to play that weekend.
"I don't remember them having not talked about it on television. I'm sure it was mentioned that the president had been shot in the city of Dallas, but he was already dead and Jack Ruby, I guess he shot Lee Harvey Oswald by then. It all happened so quick.
"The next few years when we played out of the state in Philadelphia or New York or Los Angeles, they treated us like we had done the assassination. Some not-so-pretty things we had to listen to, the name-calling going on in the stadiums as we'd go on the field and come back with the people at the overhangs of the tunnel. They weren't nice to the Dallas Cowboys. They blamed the city of Dallas and the Cowboys and everything with it. I think once we started winning in '65, '66 and '67, I think it started to take some of that energy out of those people and get them back. Maybe they were like, 'They're not only a good football team, but we need to give them a little respect for that, too.'
"I still think it's such a tragedy and we had to deal with it. I guess we all wished we would've been somewhere else in another state when it happened. That wasn't the case. We couldn't opt out and say we wanted to be somewhere else. We had to go on being with the Dallas Cowboys and living in Dallas and raising our families in Dallas. That was important. We all stuck together and worked hard to overcome the stigma Dallas had for the assassination of the president.
"It was a tough situation. I was a rookie, but I had some really good friends and some really good teammates, so we were able to share it together and not let anyone deal with it alone."
--Jordan, 72, as told to ESPN.com Cowboys reporter Todd Archer
JFK Remembered: Roger Staubach
November, 21, 2013
By ESPN.com staff
AP PhotoRoger Staubach reflects on the 50-year anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy.The former Cowboys Hall of Fame quarterback and Naval Academy Heisman Trophy winner reflects on the 50-year anniversary of the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy:
"We had a very good connection. We met him [President Kennedy] when he would go up to Nantucket. We used to train at Quonset Point and he would come up in the helicopter, and he was a Navy guy, PT 109, so I think he liked us better than Army. But he couldn't say that. He switched sides.
"He was at the '62 Army-Navy game. That was one game I played and it was a really great Army-Navy game for Navy, and he was there and he was going to be at the '63 game. Obviously, the game was played on his behalf, and it was very emotional -- heck of a game actually. The Army quarterback, Rollie Stichweh, was fantastic. We've become good friends. Rollie and I talked about that game and what it meant to the country, just to see the servicemen and women at the game. Honoring the president at our game is what took place. That's why it was such a big deal, the '63 game. The family asked the game to be played on his behalf, so it was a special game.
"My mother heard I was going to be on the cover of Life that week. They destroyed most of them and brought them back and redid the whole cover. I was getting ready to go to class, a thermal dynamics class, and when I got to class, I found out he was killed. The game was supposed to be a week from that Saturday, but it was delayed another week. It was just a lot of circumstances that are related to that football game and the president's death. It's hard to believe it's been 50 years. Time flies."
-- Staubach, 71, as told to ESPN.com Cowboys reporter Todd Archer and ESPNDallas.com reporter Calvin Watkins
JFK Remembered: Gil Brandt
November, 21, 2013
By ESPN.com staff
AP Photo/NFL PhotosFormer Cowboys vice president of player personnel Gil Brandt remembers Tom Landry's leadership.The former Cowboys vice president of player personnel reflects on the 50-year anniversary of the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy:
"We were in the office working because the draft that year, I think it was maybe Dec. 2. We were trying to do it the Monday after the Army-Navy game, so I was in the office and we had the scouts in there and we had what at that time was our board up. That's what we were trying to do. And Tex Schramm's office is right next to mine and he came in and says, 'The President has just been assassinated. I've got a call into Pete Rozelle now to see what we're going to do.' A little while later he came back and said, 'I talked to Pete and he has talked to [Pierre] Salinger, who was his roommate at the University of San Francisco, and he's going to talk to Bobby Kennedy and find out what Bobby thinks.' A little while later he returns and says, 'We're going to play on Sunday. Bobby says with all of the problems we're experiencing in the country, he would want us to play.' So we played. That's what happened.
"Now, did we have nine Secret Service guys or anything like that? Honest to gosh, I don't remember anybody on the airplane going to Cleveland other than the usual crew is what it was. Then when we got there, we had a list of dos and don'ts and one was don't go out and say you're from Dallas. Everybody went out in small groups to eat but it was not the Dallas Cowboys. If anything, it was the Cowboys but not the Dallas Cowboys. Then on Sunday, the only difference we did was we used to travel with three buses -- two for the players and let's say that left at 12 o'clock, one we called the deadhead bus. That was for [Tom] Landry's wife or Schramm's wife and the flight attendants would be on there, coming from the hotel to the game before they would go out to the airplane. Instead of the usual procedure where the deadhead bus would leave 30 minutes after the players' bus, in this case, we all went at the same time. There was no staggering of the buses.
"When we got to the stadium, there were no boycotts or anything like that, Go home Dallas, or anything like that that I can remember. We went out to warm up and in Cleveland you had to go through the dugout. So we come back and go through the dugout and then went upstairs. Outside the locker room on a chair they had this security person. We'd gone out and came back in for that 20-minute or so period where everybody got re-taped and so forth. About 10 minutes before we leave to go on the field, Tom's starting to write the first play. It's going to be 'slant' and this security guy opens the door and says, 'Coach, the guy that shot the President, they just killed him in the jailhouse.' Landry is his unflappable self and said, 'Thank you,' and, 'Let's not worry about this. I'm sure the powers that be are deciding what to do.' I think we started maybe 10 minutes late is what we did.
"... We were fortunate in that we had somebody like Tom there and somebody like Tex there that's not running scared and would be proactive. I think Tom and Tex did a good job informing everybody of what was going on and I think Tom did a good job of telling the players why."
--Brandt, 80, as told to ESPN.com Cowboys reporter Todd Archer

Nursing students must enter healthcare facilities to meet the clinical component of nursing education. With the recent diagnosis of clients with Ebola on US soil and the CDC's changing guidelines, nursing educators are engaged in conversations on how this affects students. What are the students saying? With all the information that has been reported and debated in the media, there is no doubt that students may have concerns on how this affect them. Does anyone expect that a nursing student would be asked to care for someone diagnosed with Ebola? Do we have to re-think our approach to education on infection control?

#126 Azim Khamisa, Author - Peace Activist
in Education
The Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) Program is the largest school based father engagement program in the nation with over 4500 schools participating.
Azim Khamisa – an author, activist and an international inspirational speaker – was born in Kenya, Africa and had early training in mathematics, economics and finance in the U.K. A successful investment banker with over 40 years of experience, he has conducted business in Africa, Middle East, Canada, USA, Europe and Asia. Presently he serves as the President of the Child Safety Network (CSN). Committing his life to halting the continuing cycle of violence among the youth, Azim became a social activist after his 20-year-old son Tariq was senselessly murdered while delivering pizzas in January 1995 by Tony Hicks, a 14-year-old gang member. Out of grief and despair, Khamisa was inspired to transform his loss through the power of forgiveness. Believing that there were "victims at both ends of the gun," Azim forgave Tony and founded the Tariq Khamisa Foundation to break the cycle of youth violence by saving lives, empowering positive choices and teaching the principles of nonviolence and peacemaking. A month after establishing the foundation, Azim invited Ples Felix, Tony's grandfather and guardian, to join him. Together, since November 1995, the two have brought their story and message through TKF's Violence Impact Assemblies. The duo has reached over a million elementary and middle school children live and over 8 million via video programs, guiding the youth to choose a peacemaker's life of non-violence and forgiveness.
Each week, WatchDOGS Radio host Keith Schumacher and co-host Chris Danenhauer discuss how this program is impacting families and schools across our nation and in four foreign countries.

#131 Deputies Making a Change - Deputy Kenneth Tramble,
in Education
Deputies Making a Change (DMAC) is a youth mentoring program that addresses the incarceration rate among young children. This program targets those who are failing in school, at risk of being incarcerated, or have problems with authority. This program will consist of tutoring, physical fitness, life skills, sessions with mentors, video instruction and many other tools will also be utilized.
The main objective is to enhance the thinking ability of the neighborhood youth, as well as promote positive behavior among at-risk children and as a result produce better students that are eager to advance their education rather than participate in criminal activity. Seven core values will be utilized to ensure the structure of the program, discipline, education, accountability, commitment, motivation, respect for authority, and self reliance. These values are designed to manage the child's behavior, while implementing discipline and education.
::ANSWERS:: Why Do Teachers Have Sex With Students?
in Education
On this episode of the ::ANSWERS:: show, we are going to try to figure out the "why?" to teachers having sex with students.
Beginning with the infamous Mary Kay Letourneay case in 1995, we have all been fascinated with teachers, namely females, who cross the line and have sexual relationships with their students. It is truly mind-boggling. One of the many questions that typically go unANSWERed is, "Why do teachers sleep with students?"
According to an AP study, between 2001 and 2005, 2,570 educators had their teaching credentials revoked, denied, surrendered or sanctioned following allegations of sexual misconduct. The interesting fact about this is while only ten percent of those teachers were women; female teachers who have slept with their students receive the lion's share of media attention. Why is that?
We decided to see if we can ANSWER once and for all, why we see this growing trend within our education system.
Thank you for tuning in.
