I love getting Williams-Sonoma catalogs. I sign up for them online every few months, and I fill out a little card whenever I'm in the store. I order things online. I request catalogs whenever I'm doing business with their partner stores, Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma Home. I get those catalogs, but I almost never get the one I want, the Catalog for Cooks. My neighbors get the big, thick one like clockwork, once a month; I get the skinny version maybe once a year, despite all my hard work.
But with our tiny kitchen, I can't store almost any of it. A tiny kitchen makes you read product copy with wary cynicism. And many Williams-Sonoma "exclusives" make me roll my eyes and wonder what kind of dummy would buy such silly "specialty" contraptions.
Maybe they feel I don't make the grade as a cook so they don't want serious customers seeing me wandering the streets engrossed in their recipes. Or maybe they know how I feel about some of their products.
Anyway, I got the skimpy little 52-page catalog yesterday, while my neighbor got the nice fat one.
I covet plenty of their stuff. Gorgeous Ruffoni copper, for example (which I found at a bargain price on eBay). Or that Ebelskiver Filled Pancake Pan, to make adorable little Nutella bombs.
But with our tiny kitchen, I can't store almost any of it. A tiny kitchen makes you read product copy with wary cynicism. And many Williams-Sonoma "exclusives" make me roll my eyes and wonder what kind of dummy would buy such silly "specialty" contraptions.
When you see "exclusive" used for a W-S product, think: "I can probably use my hands instead of this."
Because I only have the loser edition of the catalog, I don't have the full range of W-S insanity at my fingertips, but here's a sampling of what they believe that even loser customers like me really need. And I calculated how much you will save by not falling for it.
1. Nonstick burger press. Pressing burgers squeezes the air (and juiciness) out of them. Do you really want your burgers to look as uniformly perfect as the ones at McDonald's? Besides, hamburger is even more fun to mold in your hands than Play-Doh (which wasn't edible in my day). You save $19.95.
2. Avocado pitter/slicer. Try a knife, a teaspoon, maybe a fingernail. More room in your utensil drawer and you save $15.
3. Electric vacuum marinator. This monstrosity takes up as much counter space as a toaster oven and claims it "marinates foods in minutes, not hours or days." By thinking ahead and marinating fresh meat as soon as you bring it home, you can save $199.95.
4. Breakfast scones. Do you know how idiotically easy and fast it is to make scones from scratch? Think about it: the English can handle it. Yes, I admit that I burned my last batch because I accidentally turned off the oven timer with my hip, but I'll bet you are smarter than me. You need just a few ingredients, and if you don't have them, you can substitute. I made my own "self-rising flour" with salt and baking powder, for example. If you don't have milk, use yogurt. Or vice versa. It's difficult to screw up scones, so why spend $46 to get 18 frozen ones (plus $10.50 shipping)? You can feed armies with your own scones for that amount, or splurge on a fancy tea at the Bristol Lounge at the Four Seasons.
5. Monogrammed steak brand. If you worry that your steak could wander off the grill and go roaming in the neighbor's yard, provoking a 21st-century cattle war, you need more help than Williams-Sonoma or I can offer you. Make sure your cow is dead before you put it on the grill and save yourself $39.95.
* I figured shipping at 11% of the total amount for orders over $150.01, according to the W-S site.

Two men have been detained in Beijing for fabricating online rumors and maliciously tarnish the reputation of others, Beijing police confirmed on Wednesday.
Yang Xiuyu, founder of the Erma Company, along with employee Qin Zhihui, were found to have fabricated and spread rumors online and taken profits from their illegal acts, Beijing police said.
They are suspected of the crimes of making troubles and engaging in illegal business operations.
Yang and Qin have confessed to the crimes.
Four other employees of the company are also under investigation.
The police said they started to investigate the case when some netizens reported that a rumor defaming the image of Lei Feng, a household name of a Chinese soldier was widely spreading online.
During the investigation, the police found that the suspects Yang and Qin had fabricated more than 3,000 different rumors on the internet over the past three years.
"I fabricated the news. I didn't verify their authenticity, so I knew it and I'd say I made it wrong. I should take the responsibility. I did this without intention, just because I thought them disgusting," said Qin, the suspect.
"(He did it) just for the purpose of catching the eyeballs and self-satisfaction and boosting his fan base, as the rumors are relayed in the 10,000 times within two hours," said Zhang Hui, a policeman.
Apart from fabricating rumors on hot issues, Yang and Qin also fabricated rumors about celebrities. Qin implied on Weibo, a Chinese version of Twitter, that Ms. Zhang Haidi, the chairperson of the All-China Federation for Disabled Persons, has acquired Japanese citizenship and gives China Disabled Persons' Federation contracts to her sister.
"I am not at odds with Zhang. I just thought that I should dig something out for fun. She doesn't have anything to gossip about. She's kind of a positive person. I like to interpret things in my way and send it out online, so I don't always forward others," confessed Qin.

Seattle's new DIY hardware labs
By day, many of Seattle's part-time creatives work full-time jobs at Microsoft, Google, TMobile and Amazon. By night, they hunker over soldering irons, woodworking tools and sewing machines, creating wearable technology, self-propelled vehicles and fine jewelry.
"There are more than 10,000 professional creatives in the city of Seattle alone," says Ellie Kemery of Makerhaus, the newest of the city's maker spaces — facilities that offer equipment, training and support for those of an innovative mind.
Maker spaces are a destination for professional creatives, but also for a larger community of tinkerers, hobbyists and inventors — many of whom have a vision, passion and the motivation to see it through. Below, get to know a few of Seattle's most popular spaces.
Jigsaw Renaissance, 815 Seattle Boulevard S, 206-853-4319, www.jigsawrenaissance.org
This SoDo space houses "a community of people that are willing to take time and sit down with each other and teach others how to code or how to build a robot," Monica Houston says, "a community of friends, really. … We bill ourselves as a safe place to fail. It's not a place where you have to know everything."
Houston is the development director for Jigsaw, a nonprofit space in the Inscape Arts and Cultural Center. Jigsaw's library is filled with materials on electronics, programming and sundry robot parts. There are DIY 3D printers, but no laser cutter yet. The space hosts regular classes, events and meet-ups for local groups and memberships range from $15 to $200 a month (which gets you a dedicated working space).
Jigsaw's members are a diverse bunch. Houston says: "We have people that don't necessarily fit the maker mold, so it's not all tech — there's artists, and there have been people into textiles or films."
It's also home to some of the city's more established creators. Like Zombie Orpheus Entertainment, a multimedia production company that develops and produces scripted content for the web, including the popular video series "JourneyQuest."
Houston has a day job too -- building websites. At Jigsaw, attracting new members is a large part of her role. She says the diversity is both a challenge and a strength from a marketing perspective: "It's a place where a psychologist can talk to an iPhone app builder and compare notes."
A Cyborg Camp Seattle attendee plays with fruit and electronics. Photo: Amber Case.
That's also what makes Jigsaw special. Because all of its funding comes from dues, members have an investment in the space and in their fellow creators.
"Right now it's a small community," Houston says. "That small-community feel is something that I really want to make sure stays."
Makerhaus, 122 36th St. NW, 206-457-8968, www.makerhaus.com
The most decidedly professional of the trio, this Fremont maker space is 10,000 square feet and features wood and metal shops, a materials library, 3D printing, a computer-controlled router for woodworking, industrial sewing machines, a laser cutter, gallery space for members and co-working space for professionals to rent.
Heidi Allen, a local artist behind Arboreal Jewelry, recently showed her wooden wares in Makerhaus' gallery. She produces her jewelry and even her packaging on the facility's laser cutter.
But what Mike Kemery and his wife, Ellie, have really created is what he calls "a facility for all types of abilities."
"What we really want," Mike says, "is good people with abilities and ideas and motivation and spirit to come in and bring their ideas to life."
A big part of Makerhaus' mission is education. It sponsors regular classes and workshops on topics from professional development and business creation to CAD rendering, woodworking and metalworking.

Azealia Banks recently joined the Beats by Dre "Show Your Color" campaign and sat with the headphone company for a brief interview on set during her shoot.
They crammed a variety of different little notes in this short video. One being the the Harlem rapper/singer's upcoming debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste, which is due early next year.
"The vision and vibe that I have for Broke With Expensive Taste is just for it to be just as stylish and authentic as anything that I do," Azealia says. "There isn't really a genre that I'm trying to go for or a specific vibe that I'm trying to go for, but I'm going for authenticity."
Banks claims she isn't inspired by any of her musical peers artistically, but has a big love for The Ultra Sweet Nutmeg Devine Knowles…as she should.
"I definitely think like career-wise and personally, I'm very very inspired by Beyoncé," she admits. "She's just so well-mannered and so classy and so well poised. It's important to have those kinds of skills."

Oklahoma Leads on Income-Tax Repeal
The state has proposed a radically pro-growth agenda.
January 30, 2012 4:00 A.M.
When Ron Paul talks about repealing the income tax and replacing it with nothing, most people think it can't be done. But at least on the state level, it can. In fact, there are nine states, including Paul's home state of Texas, that don't levy income taxes. Those states have far outperformed high-income-tax states on every measure of economic success. Now Oklahoma is poised to fully repeal its income tax and join the ranks of non-income-tax states. While Oklahoma is already a relatively business-friendly, low-tax state, income-tax repeal would launch it into the top tier of the most economically competitive states and the best places to live and work.

Foreclosure is the process whereby the mortgage holder (i.e. the bank) sues the borrower (i.e. homeowner) to secure title to the property in partial or full satisfaction of the outstanding balance of the mortgage holder's note when the borrower has violated and failed to cure the material term(s) of the note, mortgage and loan agreement.

In the event you are eligible for a clerk's withhold, however, you must resolve your case before the arraignment or the first court date in order to be eligible and take advantage of this disposition. As such, retaining your lawyer before this time can be essential. In other cases, you may have a valid defense to the charge which needs to be thoroughly evaluated and investigated. The timing of prior convictions, the proper computation of previous tickets, whether proper notice was served and received regarding the suspension, the legal validity of the stop which led to the arrest and evaluating and assessing the underlying basis for the suspension are some of the areas which an effective and aggressive attorney may need to address as some of your possible defenses.
The charge of driving while license suspended (either with or without knowledge) is serious. A conviction can cause a dramatic increase in your insurance premiums for years to come. Most importantly, entering a plea or paying the ticket can cause you to receive a five year suspension of your driver's license as a Florida "Habitual Traffic Offender" if you have three criminal or civil infractions within a five (5) year period. Let us help you develop a strategy to best protect your privilege to drive. If we can go to court to obtain a withhold of adjudication or a dismissal, this will not count toward the three offenses that can cause you to become a Habitual Traffic Offender. An experienced attorney from our law firm can be a powerful advocate for you in court.
• Without Knowledge (a civil infraction)• With Knowledge (a criminal offense)Types of offenses for Driving While License Suspended (DWLS) or Revoked (DWLR).
DWLS Without Knowledge
Driving While License Suspended Without Knowledge is a civil infraction. Florida statute 322.34 (1) states that someone driving their vehicle without knowing that their license is suspended is guilty of a moving violation. Aside from being adjudicated guilty and having three points assessed on your license, a DWLS without knowledge citation can have devastating consequences if you have at least two other major violations on your driving.
DWLS With Knowledge
Driving on a Suspended License With Knowledge is a criminal infraction and your appearance in court IS REQUIRED. Florida Statute 322.34 (2) provides, a person commits a misdemeanor of the second degree when they are convicted of driving while license suspended on the first offense. Even if adjudication is withheld, meaning no formal conviction, a DWLS with Knowledge will still counts as a major moving violation for purposes of Habitualization with the DHSMV.
Even upon a conviction, depending on the circumstances, you may be eligible for a hardship license after a point suspension if you satisfy certain requirements such as taking an examination, completing a Twelve Hour Advanced Driving Improvement (ADI) Course, paying a fee for reinstatement and paying additional fees for the hardship license.

There are times when I am reminded of a saying, "Pay for the convenience and suffer through the inconvenience." How much many of us are paying for products and services just because they make life a little easier? I agree that having someone else do the work frees up a lot of time to do other things, but the question is how much money can be saved versus doing it yourself? There are times when it is worth the extra cost to pay for the convenience. If you are in a situation where you need to cut costs maybe this is an area that you could look into. Here is a list items that you can do yourself or do differently to save money:
Transportation – Try using public transportation or a bike.
Dining out – Limit the number of times eating out.
Car washes – Wash your car at home.
Clothes dryer – Dry your clothes outside. Save on electricity and/or gas.
PC service – There are many resources on the internet that you can find about PC repair for free. Best buy charges $129 in store and $249 in home to install Microsoft Windows. Chances are there is someone that you know that can do it for free or much cheaper.
Magazines and newspaper subscriptions – Most of what you find in magazines and newspapers can be found online. Look into cancelling your subscriptions.
Veggies – Grow your own garden.
Recycling – There are some areas that require you to separate your trash. Why not recycle yourself and get some money back.
Photos – If your PC and printer can process photos then do it yourself. There are lots of free photo editing software you can download.

BILLINGS - Here's the start of a joke you don't hear every day.
Warren Buffett and Bill Gates land in Gillette, Wyoming with an armada of nine private jets.
Want to hear the punch line?
It's true.
On Sunday, two of the wealthiest men in the world were in Gillette.
A photographer from the Gillette News Record was able to snap off this picture of the Microsoft Founder and Chairman boarding his jet.
Social traffic circulating on the internet, including Facebook posts, from people connected to the Black Thunder Mine in Wyoming claimed personal involvement in a tour the two men participated in of the mine.
A call placed to Arch Coal Incorporated, the parent company of Black Thunder Mine, told Q2 all calls concerning the visit were being handled by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Company and Berkshire Hathaway Incorporated.
Both of those companies are owned by Buffett and have yet to return phone calls placed to their public relations departments concerning the two billionaires visiting Wyoming.
Rumors as to why the two were in Gillette range from an inquiry into the workings of massive coal mine operations to the buyout of the Black Thunder Mine.

LG Thrill 4G Hands-on
CTIA has brought the 3D hype to the next level with two new devices featuring support for the third dimension, but in the light of the recent AT&T-Mobile merger AT&T's LG Thrill 4G is what may end up in many pockets. You might be fooled by the new name, but the LG Thrill 4G is nothing else but a re-branded LG Optimus 3D, which you should be pretty familiar with. It uses the same glasses-free parallax display technology on a 4.3-inch screen with a pretty standard resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. The dual 5-megapixel camera setup on the back will bring you 720p HD videos in 3D and 1080p full HD in 2D.
This 4G-capable powerhouse comes with a noticeable heft – it has a weight of 5.93 ounces (168 g), which you can definitely feel. But even the design isn't final yet and could change in the couple of months before the device actually hits shelves.
On the inside, though, the dual-core TI OMAP 4430 is one of the most powerful chipsets out there just cracking the benchmarks. The Thrill 4G will unfortunately be launched with Android Froyo, instead of the latest Gingerbread version. It also comes with eight pre-installed applications making use of the 3D capabilities of the device including the 3D Gallery as well as a 3D Game & Apps portal, along with all four gaming titles: Asphalt 6, Gulliver's Travels, Lets Golf 2 and NOVA.
Is it better than the HTC EVO 3D? Check out the video below and our specs comparison between the two to make up your mind!

i'm over the 3D fad already... batteries can't keep up with the phones as they are now, let alone the 3D crap that's going to be put in them...

Apple need to sue lg. That keyboard looked exactly like the iphones.
13. shynepo (Posts: 39; Member since: 21 May 2010)
LG makes the apple retina display, samsung makes the A4 chips, and now samsung makes the A5 chips, so apple doesnt need to sue anybody........
3. Allday28 (Posts: 274; Member since: 19 Nov 2010)
Before we lose battery juice. Imagine that!
10. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
lol. that was a great indicator of battery life right there.
why has noone put in a 2000 battery in there? 1500? blah!! I dont mind the extra thickness as much as i mind having my "wireless" device always wired to a wall!!
21. cln (unregistered)
what we need is a solar panel on the phones... I had a calculator in the '90 with it... what's the hold-up?
4. jsobotka (Posts: 18; Member since: 21 Aug 2009)
Me too... I'm so sick of 3D, I'm gonna gouge one of my eyes out so that I never have to see in 3D again!
I can't imagine why people would want to capture and view 3D images and video. So that you can re-watch your kid's soccer game the same way you originally experienced it? Give me a break... just watch it the way the good lord intended... in two dimensions. 3D is a gimmick... just like high-definition TV... and color TV... and TV.
I'm not sure how 3D is going to run down your battery, though... it's really the higher resolution displays that are requiring more power, not the fact that your content is in 3D and there is a parallax barrier on top of your display. What you should really hate and go on a rant about are pixels. Plus, typically, 3D content is half the resolution of 2D content (e.g. 3D Blu-ray discs), so considering the extra compression you would get from the two lower-resolution images being quite similar, 3D content is actually likely to be smaller than it's 2D counterpart, which will help your battery life. Now what were you complaining about?

the video says its a LG Thrill 4G but its something else on the inside.., its a LG optimus3D
7. tmoney83 (Posts: 37; Member since: 08 May 2009)
same phone. tmobile call it optimus at&t call it thrill
9. remixfa (Posts: 14178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
im not sold on the 3d tech.. have to play with it myself to see about that, but the optimus 3D is the current powerhouse champion until the GalaxyS 2 comes out, then the fight begins! SGS2 will have the stronger chipset, but the monsterous amount of dual channel DDR2 ram in the LG is going to give it a huge turboboost, so it will be fun to see.
6. tmoney83 (Posts: 37; Member since: 08 May 2009)
now i got to pick the thrill or atrix. my upgrade is up in may. and i have a feeling HTC and samsung will be talking about a 3D phone soon. picking a cell phone used to be easy. smh
11. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
eh atrix is already over... dont get it... wait for the htc pyramid or something of that nature
12. shynepo (Posts: 39; Member since: 21 May 2010)
you mean to tell me this phone doesnt launch with gingerbread??
No way in hell................
14. DJLegacy2k5 (Posts: 212; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
I like 3d...I have a 63" Samsung 8000 Plasma with 3d. Playing Call of Duty Black Ops and Crysis 2 in 3d is fun as hell. Allot of the movies out there that use 3d just SUCK which makes 3d seem cheap, but when done right its actually fun.
Is it something everyone NEEDS....no way, they still need to build on it, but it has potential to just be an added feature for entertainment.
As I said GAMING in 3d is much better than just watching regular tv...Although the Xgames in 3d over the winter were sick!
15. JCC (unregistered)
Did anyone else notice that the pictures have an "E" beside the signal strength? I hope that doesn't mean EDGE. Are they not in at least a 3G coverage area?
16. wezy (unregistered)
one prob i c already.... just like the current phone. THE BATTERY LIFE SUCKS. instead of makeing a pointless 3d phone. improve on the battery life of the current phone out. then i will be happy
17. arokingpin (Posts: 9; Member since: 03 Jul 2010)
Round of applause for the guy in the second video, I think he's an ATT sales rep. Not only does he not know the specs of the phone he's doing marketing for, but he manages to accidentally say people aren't interested in 3d phones... Lol
18. AndroidTroll (Posts: 359; Member since: 05 Mar 2011)
EVO 3D is better. It has more ram, higher res display, bigger battery, android 2.3, htc sense, it's not made by LG, and it's not on shitty ATT who blocks installation of non market apps!
19. UrTht1Guy (unregistered)
Can't you turn off 3D on the phone? Bcuz if u cant....tht knida sux.. =/
20. Jose A (unregistered)
Yeah but this phone is packed with the TI OMAP4 Dual Core cpu, highest rank in benchmarks right now, killing the snapdragon dc and the Tegra 2. Think about it.

A Valley program for training orthopedic surgeons is getting ready to close its doors. Some are predicting the closure will deliver a blow to the Valley's already-scant supply of physicians. This concern is misplaced.
A 2001 Goldwater Institute report found that federal and state regulations and mandates in the health care marketplace, not lack of teaching programs, is to blame for Arizona's physician shortage. To attract more physicians to the state, policymakers should consider introducing measures to energize the marketplace, including individual medical savings accounts, association health plans and eliminating restrictions on individual interstate health care insurance coverage.
The current threat of medical malpractice litigation may also deter doctors from practicing in Arizona. Consumers, moreover, end up paying the price in terms of a limited health care market and increased insurance premiums. Addressing this will take some doing. Any changes to the Arizona tort system require changing the state constitution.

Bringing it to the Table
In many ways, the food movement has spent the last 40 years catching up with Wendell Berry. This most steadfast of advocates for healthy and sustainable food was a lonely voice when he began his defense of traditional farming in the early 1970s. In those days, most thinkers on the subject were still praising corporate farms for increasing production.
A sixth-generation Kentucky farmer, who is also a poet and novelist, Berry was not fooled. The big farms might have solved the problem of production, but at what cost? They had replaced the careful labor of people with "machines, drugs, and chemicals" that damaged the land and put farmers in debt. And when those farmers finally picked up and left, they took with them an irreplaceable knowledge of how they worked on those particular parcels of land and of sustainable practices.
The industry hailed all this as an increase in efficiency, but Berry saw it as a crisis of body and soul. "We have enough farmers to use the land," he wrote in 1986, "but not enough to use it and protect it at the same time."
This change had profound consequences for the health of our politics as well as our bodies. "A great danger to democracy now in the United States is the steep decline in the number of people who own farmland," Berry wrote in 1978. Power cannot truly be shared in a society unable to feed itself.
Pragmatic and passionate insights appear in each of the 24 essays in Bringing it to the Table, which manages to convey the essence of 40 years of activism in just a few hundred pages. The organization of the collection is superb. The first section on farming lays out Berry's principles, which are supported in the second part by profiles of particular farmers. The third section consists mostly of selections from Berry's novels, which show the preparation and consumption of food in the eminently sociable context where Berry feels it belongs.
For urban readers who may never have enjoyed a meal quite so sumptuous in both cuisine and company as those Berry depicts, there's a pang of sorrow in reading about ways of life, once common as dirt, that now seem oddly foreign. Yet Berry insists that this healthy and sensible life can be ours again, and this book offers essential advice on how to take it back.

The Teachings of Speaker Gingrich
To Renew America
Among the personalities and books and events that have "influenced" or "changed" or "left an indelible impression on" the thinking of the Hon. Newton Leroy Gingrich (R-Ga.), the current Speaker of the House of Representatives and the author of 1945 and To Renew America, are, by his own accounts, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, Isaac Asimov, Alexis de Tocqueville, Tom Clancy, Allen Drury's Advise and Consent, Robert Walpole, William Gladstone, Gordon Wood, Peter Drucker, Arnold Toynbee's A Study of History, Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, the "Two Cultures" lectures of C.P. Snow (the lesson here for the Speaker was that "if you're capable of being glib and verbal, the odds are you have no idea what you're talking about but it sounds good, whereas if you know a great deal of what you're saying the odds are you can't get on a talk show because nobody can understand you"), Adam Smith, Zen and the Art of Archery, "the great leader of Coca-Cola for many years, Woodruff," an Omaha entrepreneur named Herman Cain ("who's the head of Godfather Pizza, he's an African-American who was born in Atlanta and his father was Woodruff's chauffeur"), Ray Kroc's Grinding It Out, and Johan Huizinga's The Waning of the Middle Ages.
There were also: Daryl Conner's Managing at the Speed of Change, Sam Walton's Made in America, Stephen R. Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, The 1913 Girl Scout Handbook, Alcoholics Anonymous's One Day at a Time, Gore Vidal's Lincoln ("even though I'm not a great fan of Vidal"), the Sidney Pollack/Robert Redford motion picture Jeremiah Johnson ("a great film and a useful introduction to a real authentic American"), commercial overbuilding in the sunbelt ("I was first struck by this American passion for avoiding the lessons of history when I watched the Atlanta real estate boom of the early 1970s"), the science fiction writer Jerry Pournelle, the business consultant W. Edwards Deming ("Quality as Defined by Deming" is Pillar Five of Gingrich's Five Pillars of American Civilization), and, famously, the Tofflers, Alvin and Heidi, "important commentators on the human condition" and "dear friends" as well.
It was these and other influences that gave Mr. Gingrich what Dick Williams, an Atlanta newspaperman and the author of Newt!, calls "an intellectual base that has been developing since he was in high school, collecting quotes and ideas on scraps of paper stored in shoeboxes." It was in turn this collection of quotes and ideas on scraps of paper stored in shoeboxes (a classmate estimated that Mr. Gingrich had fifty such boxes, for use "in class and in politics") that led in 1984 to Mr. Gingrich's Window of Opportunity (described in its preface by Jerry Pournelle as "a detailed blueprint, a practical program that not only proves that we can all get rich, but shows how"); in 1993 to the televised "Renewing American Civilization" lectures that Mr. Gingrich now delivers from Reinhardt College in Waleska, Georgia; and most recently to his current 1945 and To Renew America.
1945 is a fairly primitive example of the kind of speculative fiction known as "alternate history," the premise being that Hitler spent "several weeks in a coma" after a plane crash on December 6, 1941, and so did not declare war on the United States. Now, in 1945, fully recovered, Hitler is poised to launch Operation Arminius, a manifold effort to seize England (which in 1943 had "agreed to a remarkably lenient armistice" after the collapse of the Churchill government) and cripple the ability of the United States to respond by sinking its fleet and knocking out Oak Ridge, where the development of the atomic bomb is still underway. "Kill every scientist at this Oak Ridge and we kill their atomic program," the German officer charged with the Oak Ridge infiltration and destruction declares. "That is why the Führer is willing to go to war to stop the Americans before they beat us to this truly ultimate weapon." In the marginally less tedious To Renew America, the book for which HarperCollins originally offered $4.5 million, Mr. Gingrich recycles familiar themes from both Window of Opportunity and his "Renewing American Civilization" lectures as he endeavors to "restore our historic principles," most recently evidenced, as he sees it, in "the certainty and convictions of World War II and the Cold War."
To complain that Mr. Gingrich's thinking is "schematic," as some have, seems not exactly to describe the problem, which is that the "scheme," as revealed in his writing and in his lectures, remains so largely occult. The videotaped "Renewing American Civilization" lecture in which Mr. Gingrich discusses "The Historic Lessons of American Civilization," which is Pillar One of The Five Pillars of American Civilization, offers, for example, clips from several television movies and documentaries about the Civil War, but not much clue about why the lessons of American civilization might be "historic," and no clue at all why the remaining four Pillars of American Civilization ("Personal Strength," "Entrepreneurial Free Enterprise," "The Spirit of Invention and Discovery," and "Quality as Defined by Deming") might not be more clearly seen as subsections of Pillar One, or lessons of civilization. Similarly, the attempt to track from one to five through Mr. Gingrich's "Five Reasons for Studying American History" ("One: History is a collective memory"; "Two: American history is the history of our civilization"; "Three: There is an American exceptionalism that can best be understood through history"; "Four: History is a resource to be learned from and used"; and "Five: There are techniques that can help you learn problem-solving from historic experience") leaves the tracker fretful, uneasy, uncertain just whose synapses are misfiring.
What has lent Mr. Gingrich's written and spoken work, or, as he calls it, his "teaching," the casual semblance of being based on some plain-spoken substance, some rough-hewn horse sense, is that most of what he says has reached us in outline form, with topic points capitalized (the capitalization has been restrained in the more conventionally edited To Renew America) and systematically, if inappositely, numbered. There were "Seven key aspects" and "Nine vision-level principles" of "Personal Strength" (Pillar Two of American Civilization), there were "Five core principles" of "Quality as Defined by Deming" (Pillar Five), there were "Three Big Concepts" of "Entrepreneurial Free Enterprise" (Pillar Three). There were also, still under Pillar Three, "Five Enemies of Entrepreneurial Free Enterprise" ("Bureaucracy," "Credentialing," "Taxation," "Litigation," and "Regulation"), which would have been identical to Pillar Four's "Seven welfare state cripplers of progress" had the latter not folded in "Centralization," "Anti-progress Cultural Attitude," and "Ignorance."
In Window of Opportunity, Mr. Gingrich advised us that "the great force changing our world is a synergism of essentially six parts," and offered "five simple steps to a bold future." On the health-care question, Mr. Gingrich posited "eight areas of necessary change." On the issue of arms control, he saw "seven imperatives that will help the free world survive in the age of nuclear weapons." Down a few paragraphs the seven imperatives gave way to "two initiatives," then to "three broad strategic options for the next generation," and finally, within the scan of the eye, to "six realistic goals which would increase our children's chances of living in a world without nuclear war."
"Outlining" or "listing" remains a favored analytical technique among the management and motivational professionals whose approach Mr. Gingrich has so messianically adopted (balancing the budget and "finding a way to truly replace the current welfare state with an opportunity society" could both be done by the year 2002, he advised the Congress on the occasion of his swearing-in as Speaker, "if we apply the principles of Edwards Deming and Peter Drucker"); yet few of his own "areas" and "imperatives" and "initiatives," his "steps" and "options" and "goals," actually advance, on examination, the discourse. The seventh of the seven steps necessary to solve the drug problem, as outlined in To Renew America, calls for the government to "intensify our intelligence efforts against drug lords across the planet and help foreign governments to trap them," in other words exactly what both the Drug Enforcement Administration and the United States Southern Command have been doing for some years now. No piety can long escape inclusion in one or another of Mr. Gingrich's five or four or eleven steps: another of the seven steps necessary to solve the drug problem calls for the "reinvigoration" of Mrs. Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign.
The first of the "eight areas of necessary change" in our health-care system calls for "focusing on preventive medicine and good health," which meant, in Window of Opportunity, offering Medicare recipients $500 for not going to the doctor. To Renew America expands this notion to "employee insurance plans" that provide each employee with a $3,000 "Medisave" account to spend on medical care or receive as a year-end bonus, i.e., a way of phasing out the concept of medical insurance by calling the phaseout "Medisave." Mr. Gingrich cites the "very large savings in medical expenses" achieved through Medisave accounts by the Golden Rule Insurance Company, the executives and employees of which happen to have put their savings to work, during the several years since Mr. Gingrich's ascendance into the national eye, by donating $42,510 to his campaign committee, $117,076 to his GOPAC, an undisclosed amount to the foundation that sponsors his lectures, and $523,775 to the Republican Party. The Golden Rule Insurance Company also sponsors The Progress Report, the call-in show Mr. Gingrich co-hosts on National Empowerment Television. "Linking their contributions to performance," Mr. Gingrich told us in Window of Opportunity, was "the first step for average Americans in learning to organize and systematize their new relationship with elected politicians."
Those arguments in To Renew America not immediately suggestive of ethical conflict tend to speed headlong into another kind of collision. We have, according to Mr. Gingrich, "an absolute obligation to minimize damage to the natural world," a "moral obligation to take care of the ecosystem," but since this collides with his wish to lift the "ridiculous burden" of "environmental regulations hatched in Washington," the fulfillment of our moral obligation to take care of the ecosystem is left to a constituent in Mr. Gingrich's district, Linda Bavaro, who turns two-liter Coca-Cola bottles into T-shirts, which she sells at Disney World. "Linda," Mr. Gingrich notes, "has a good chance of doing well financially by doing good environmentally. That is how a healthy free market in a free country ought to work."
Even Mr. Gingrich's most unexceptionable arguments can take these unpredictable detours. The "Third Wave Information Age" offers "potential for enormous improvement in the lifestyle choices of most Americans," opportunities for "continuous, lifelong learning" that can enable the displaced or downsized to operate "outside corporate structures and hierarchies in the nooks and crannies that the Information Revolution creates" (so far so good), but here is the particular cranny of the Information Revolution into which Mr. Gingrich skids:

Mid-Market Case: J&R Electronics Pumps Up the Volume
Jason Friedman, vice president of e-commerce for J&R Electronics, became a champion of Internet retailing not long after joining his parents' company in 1997 as database manager. At the time, the family-owned business was doing just fine selling an enormous array of consumer electronics from its landmark 250,000-plus-square-foot mega-store in lower Manhattan and via catalog orders.
Even so, in 1998 Jason Friedman convinced the store's foundershis parents, Joe and Rachelle Friedman, thus the "J" and "R"to make a commitment to the Web, specifically to early versions of an e-commerce software solution from InterWorld Corp., then one of the darlings of the dot-com boom. The first foray into Web salesby one estimate, about 30% of J&R's approximately $400 million in revenue is currently derived from its online channelwas successful enough that e-commerce is now seen as the company's future.
Today, to secure that future, Jason Friedman and an information-technology team of 50 are rolling out an ambitious relaunch of the JR.com Web site. The initiative is based on a new e-commerce platform from Blue Martini; an on-demand CRM suite from Loyalty Lab, a relationship and retention-marketing vendor; and some of the features that characterize Web 2.0, notably online videos and user participation in the form of customer reviews. If all goes as planned, the revamped site, scheduled to go up this month, will make it easier for customers to evaluate, compare and purchase products.
"We're giving customers the capabilities and features that they want," Jason Friedman says. In turn, J&R is hoping to lock in customer loyalty, leverage many of the strengths that have made its brick-and-mortar business so successful over the years, and differentiate itself in the crowded, increasingly price-driven consumer electronics market dominated by the big chains and franchises.
It won't be a cakewalk by any means. "Their national and retail competitors are pretty tough," says Maris Daugherty, senior consultant, multi-channel practice with global retail consultancy J.C. Williams Group; the firm does not consult for J&R.
First Steps
J&R's initial foray into Internet retailing was not without a downside. In 2000, after two years of using early versions of InterWorld's Commerce Exchange, it migrated to the beefed-up version 3.0 of the platform, which was billed as including an impressive repository of business functions that represented best practices in online merchandising, order processing and customer service. Another plus: an enhanced Process-Centric architecture that enabled businesses to model their existing business processes and extend those processes onto the Internet.
Unfortunately, InterWorld, like so many software vendors in the dot-com arena, went bust the following year. "Because we were developing on InterWorld simultaneously as they went out of business, there obviously wasn't support for the project, so we had to customize it ourselves," Jason Friedman says. He adds that J&R's technology staff made the most of what they had, creating an e-commerce solution that supported the company's 400,000 SKUs (stock-keeping units). The platform lacked key capabilities, however, such as the ability to collect and display customer reviews and provide supporting information such as inventory statistics and shipping timemainstays on a number of retail sites including Amazon.com.
Even so, JR.com was ranked in 2006 among the nation's 50 top e-retailers by Internet Retailer magazine, based on factors such as success in adapting new technologies and functions, and metrics including the time needed to fully download the site. "We milked the most out of the InterWorld platform that we could," Jason Friedman says.
With development and customization of its old platform maxed out, J&R decided last year to revamp its e-channel in a major way. In May, it launched an online loyalty program to motivate customers to come directly to its Web site rather than arrive via another site. The aim: bolster the number of unique visitors from present levelsan estimated 745,000 monthly.
According to Jason Friedman, the national loyalty program is designed to offset the intense shopping engine-driven price comparison buying that is currently rampant in the consumer electronics business. "We end up fighting over pennies with our competitors," he says. By having customers go directly to JR.com and providing them with incentives equal to 2% of their purchase through the loyalty program, Jason Friedman hopes to minimize customer defections and draw new buyers as well.
The program was launched through Loyalty Lab, whose CRM suite hosts the components needed for a multi-channel loyalty program, including customer sign-ups, accounts and redemptions. "J&R has perfected customer service and relationship buildingthey wouldn't exist without a loyal customer base that returns again and again," said Loyalty Lab CEO Mark H. Goldstein when the contract was announced. "What was missing was a program to reward shoppers for their loyalty, giving them even more reasons to keep J&R a mainstay."
More recently JR.com has been migrating to a new e-commerce platform, Blue Martini (now part of Escalate Retail). "We're about 80% of the way there," Jason Friedman says.
J&R chose the platform in part because, as Jason Friedman explains, "The ERP vendor that we're going with is very closely tied with Blue Martini. As a result, there was a very clear technical reason why it made sense for us to go to an all-encompassing system, where data was able to be passed back and forth." In line with J&R's penchant for secrecy, the younger Friedman won't reveal the identity of its ERP vendor.
With Blue Martini, J&R is also going all-out seeking to leverage the superstore's most important assets and differentiatorssomething it couldn't do effectively in the past because of the limitations of InterWorld. "They're making a major commitment to their e-commerce channel," says Daugherty of J.C. Williams Group. "They need the channel to meet one of their biggest challenges: establishing the points that differentiate them from their competitors, growing the awareness of these points among consumers and turning that awareness into trial purchasing." In other words, JR.com needs to turn the consumer in Detroit or Denver on to the same selling points that attract the shopper who visits the New York mega-store.
In addition to its highly competitive pricing and enormous inventory, one of the draws of the brick-and-mortar operation is that it is a "first-shop" showcase for manufacturers' products, meaning vendors will offer the most recent release of an M3 player or the latest version of a video game before it appears anywhere else. J&R is also quick to pick up on technology trends. For instance, Rachelle Friedman takes pride in the fact that J&R created a separate Apple room at a time when most consumer electronics stores were concentrating almost exclusively on PCs. It was also at the forefront in recognizing that DVDs would replace videos.
Equally important, J&R's sales staff has the well-earned reputation of excelling at being able to explain the workings of the latest high-tech gizmo to customers who range from technology neophytes to Wall Street analysts checking out the new trends in consumer electronics. "J&R has always had highly knowledgeable salespeople," Daugherty adds. "It has always picked up the hottest products, the cutting-edge technology, sold at a competitive price."
The Blue Martini platform enables JR.com to leverage many of these strengths. As an example, the platform's Guided Selling application leads users through an interactive product recommendation and selection process, incorporating user input on needs and preferences to present a targeted view of a product catalog. As an example, someone looking for a new plasma TV can shop based on a number of criteria: brand, price, top sellers, screen type and size, and models on which special offers, price drops and rebates are available. For an Internet retailer like JR.com that offers hundreds of thousands of products, many of them new to the market, guided selling and an interactive product recommendation-and-selection process make it easier for customers to understand and compare features.
Jason Friedman says the new site will also offer product pages with extensive details as well as comparison grids to facilitate the selection process. "Customers tell us that deep content in any and all forms helps them make their purchase decisions," Daugherty adds. "Customer reviews, alternative product reviews and comprehensive product descriptions all have an impact on their purchasing."
In addition, Blue Martini supports online videos, which Jason Friedman sees as a boon in leveraging one of the store's strengthsits tech-savvy sales staffonline. The new site will feature several hundred videos of J&R's salespeople explaining the intricacies of, say, a new iPod, or whichever product the customer is interested in. "We shoot our own videos in-store with our call-center salesmen to provide a sense of what it would be like if you were standing in the store listening to them," he says. "We want to translate that to a video experience. We couldn't have done that on the old platform."
"The talking-heads video is another way to reach out to people who find the online purchase process impersonal," Daugherty explains. "Some people learn differently; they learn orally rather than in a written form."-Out">
Going All-Out
With the old platform, J&R couldn't really get maximum benefits from some of the software it was using. As an example, Friedman says, J&R has been a longtime customer of Endeca, the provider of advanced Web site search technology that helps customers find, analyze, understand and determine relevancy in search results while giving site operators flexibility in establishing relevancy settings. Gartner recently ranked Endeca as one of the three top providers of site search technology.
"We had Endeca running as a separate piece of software on the InterWorld site, but because of the way we customized, we weren't able to use Endeca or any plug-in to full capacity," Jason Friedman says. With the Blue Martini platform, J&R can integrate Endeca with the PowerReviews customer reviews application the company plans to put on the site. PowerReviews provides customer reviews to multi-channel retailers to help convert more shoppers and attract new buyers. "It will give the customer the ability to refine and sort products, for example, by four stars or five stars," he says.
J&R can now take advantage of Endeca's merchandising functionality so that it can see where the customer is on its site, what he has in his basket, where else on the site he's visited during the session and everything he has purchased in the past.
Jason Friedman is fully aware that as a business located solely in New York, J&R remains at a disadvantage no matter how much firepower he loads onto the Web site. "The whole phenomenon of buying a product online from one of the big-box stores and picking it up an hour later is a challenge that we can't meet outside the New York area," he concedes. "That's the limitation of who we are."
Still, he's understandably enthusiastic about the newe-commerce initiative. "We have a lot of great things we want to do with the new platform, which everyone will be able to see in March," he says. "We're really excited about it."
Daugherty cautions, however, that J&R shouldn't expect too much, too soon. "With the fast product life cycles and the new tech always around the corner, there is plenty of room in this market for a specialist like J&R to make a good living," she says. "But they need to continue to enforce their niche and invest in the resources that are necessary for growth over the long term. It's not going to be a short-term win. They're going to have to have patience to see their plan come together."?">
Ready For Rich Media?
For electronic retailers like JR.com, rich mediaonline video and audio files, and product photos that can be changed by the useris becoming increasingly common as broadband use jumps. A survey of 100 retail Web sites conducted during the fourth quarter of 2006 by The E-Tailing Group, a Chicago-based e-commerce consulting firm, showed that rich media was on the rise in a number of areas.
Among rich media features showing the largest increases in usage: online audio files were found on 41% of sites in the fourth quarter of 2006, up from 15% in the fourth quarter of 2005; streaming video, found on 38% of sites, up from 20%; color change, 46%, up from 34%; and alternative views of merchandise, 57%, up from 45%.
How do you determine if your e-commerce site would benefit from rich media? Lauren Freedman, president of The E-Tailing Group, suggests looking at these factors:
Have your competitors adopted rich media? If features such as streaming video are being used by all or most of them, you've pretty much got to join the parade.
Ccan you use things like video to replicate the best of the store experience? If so, go for it.
Will rich media really help you sell your product? "If you are selling something like Coach purses, you might find alternative photo views beneficial, but do you need video?" Freedman asks. Probably not.
Are elements like video and audio files going to pay for themselves as an investment? "Online video can be expensive," Freedman cautions. "You can expect to pay $100,000 and up."

Efforts to repair some of the damage from Hurricane Irene are still under way nearly a year later, including the boardwalk at Rockaway Beach. NY1's Roger Clark filed the following report.
Workers were out on the Rockaway Beach boardwalk Wednesday repairing a portion damaged almost a year ago, and has some residents wondering why it's been taking so long.
"I think that Rockaway Beach for whatever, gets ignored for whatever reason, I don't know," said one Rockaway resident.
The boardwalk and beach area received significant damage when Irene plowed through last August. Some of the damage remains like parts of the boardwalk where surging waters destroyed walls that help keep the sand on the beach.
The city Parks Department says it's starting to make progress. A new ramp to the beach is nearly complete after some fits and starts.
"We needed some permits, we needed obviously to have the money in place, and then hire a contractor, and then they need to procure supplies, some of the supplies took longer to obtain than others," said Parks Department Rockaway Administrator Jill Weber.
Ordered materials include wood for boardwalk repairs that arrived just a few weeks ago. The tropical wood is more durable and longer-lasting. It also had to come through the Panama Canal.
"In this case it came through South America and it had to go though the canal. We were told that there were some delays that there were some strikes possibly, but in finally did arrive and we are making good use of it," Weber said.
"It absolutely could have been done months and months sooner and we want to see it done in the next month or so," said Community Board 14 Chairperson Dolores Orr.
For other Rockaway residents, they're just glad to see work finally getting done.
"They're repairing it. It's not like they're not doing it. It's not like they are saying we're not going to fix it. They're fixing it," noted on Rockaway resident.
"It's taken a year but my feeling is they could have repaired it very quickly and done a really sloppy job, but it's taken a year and they are doing a really good job," said another Rockaway resident.

Las Vegas Executive Office Suite

No Obligation, No Hassle. Search Locally
Contact Us Today
Vegas Executive Offices:
Planning to shift your business to Las Vegas? Do you like the concept of working hard and playing hard? Then the city is for you. Las Vegas is known to be the most populated city in the State of Nevada and is the seat of Clark County. The city is internationally acclaimed as the hub for shopping, gambling, entertainment and fine dining and is most certainly the "Entertainment Capital of the World". The US census estimated the city's population to 558,383 in 2008 and since then it has seen a good growth. The city is a hub of the casino resorts and attracts tourists from all over the world. Finding a Las Vegas executive office suite is much easier today as compared to 2 or 3 years ago, but don't expect the prices to stay low forever.
Las Vegas Tourism:
The Backbone of the economy of Las Vegas is the convergence of tourism, gaming and gambling, the retail and dining industries. The city is the world headquarters to the 2 biggest Fortune 500 gaming companies like MGM Mirage and Harrah's Entertainment. There are a lot of companies that are linked with the production of the gaming machines and are based in Las Vegas. These companies produce gaming machines like slot machines etc. another large agency is the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and they handle tourism marketing. The company brings out a detailed survey on the visitors that come to Las Vegas and this survey contains information like the spending patterns of the tourists and their numbers and the revenue collected. Government in the city has made a considerable effort to expand the economy from tourism, entertainment to banking, light manufacturing and other commercial industries. But the lack of the individual tax and the corporate income tax has come in the way of their success.
Vegas Economy:
The average income of the household was $53,000 and the average income of the families was $58,465. The per capita income of the city was $22,060 and around 6.6% of the families and 8.9% of the total population was under the poverty line. The city was named as a dangerous city to live in but the recent reports by the Metro Police shows a significant drop in the crime rates by 2.32% from 2007 to 2008 and in North Las Vegas the drop was 8.84 %. This is a preliminary report brought out by the Metro Police. Many call centers (notorious with the bullpen type layout or floorplan) have opened up in Las Vegas, mainly due to the cheap prices that we are seeing in the commercial real estate market. Other local regions that we list office spaces in are San Diego, Phoenix, Reno, and Los Angeles.
Vegas Office Rates
Let us now get back to learning the facilities offered by the executive suite office buildings in Las Vegas. The top areas in Las Vegas where you can rent an office are West Lake Mead Boulevard, Howard Hughes Parkway, Elton Avenue, Rainbow Boulevard, I-15 & Sahara, E. Sahara Avenue, E. Russell Road, Raymert Drive, Regatta Drive, 3rd Street Promenade Downtown, and South Pecos Road. The rent for each office is to be paid monthly and the rent for a Las Vegas executive office suite ranges from $300 (for a small sublease) to $4500 for a large 3000Sf space in Summerlin with mountain views.
The executive office buildings (and property) are beautifully built and the reception areas are striking, you will be happy to welcome your clients here. These buildings offer car parking facilities and 24 hour security and access. The other facilities that are included when you rent the executive office suites are fully furnished, gym, conference rooms, meeting and board rooms, videoconferencing, AV equipmentfor meetings, secretarial services, IT support, broadband services, ISDN, telephone answering, access to other cities, WIFI and Cat 5 cabling.

Finsbury Park
Tricia De Courcy Ling
Posted: Wed Sep 25 2013
The streets of Finsbury Park feel a little more continental with the scent of Bon Matin's freshly baked bread and viennoiserie. The comely window display is a little Ottolenghi-esque and, inside, rows of good-looking tarts, sandwiches, mini cheesecakes and quiches provide further invitation. As the name suggests, this café is more of a morning venue, but breakfast is a leisurely affair, served until 4pm, and for lunch there's a selection of colourful sandwiches (ciabatta, brioche or open) and a daily soup (a pleasingly light lentil and tomato when we dropped by) served with a basket of bread.
Following in the footsteps of its successful sister restaurant in Crouch End, however, there are plans to start serving a Middle Eastern-style lunch menu here too. Bon Matin attracts a friendly bunch: couples leafing through the free newspapers, small groups eating in the sky-lit extension at the back, young families on a weekend cake mission. French toast was incredibly light and fluffy, made with Bon Matin's own brioche, which really crisped up around the edges. Moist, buttery scrambled eggs and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice made a fine hangover cure.

Lovely staff, great atmosphere, and the best coffee I had in London. I come from Melbourne -AU so I know what a good coffe is :)
We love going to this cafe, sometimes we sit in, sometimes we just take-away some desserts. Most of the time this place is packed, but the owner if he is around is really friendly and attentive. Even the staff are friendly and efficient. We love all their desserts and their coffee is good too. They used to make this decadent chocolate cake which they have discontinued and which we throughly miss!
This is the best place for breakfast, they pancakes are excellent as are the cakes. The owner is so welcoming, not surprising it is harder and harder to get a table at the weekend!
Flies on the very attractive looking cakes in the window, during the summer put me off. A damn shame too.
Fantastic atmosphere, fresh cakes and the best cappuccino ever had. Me and my partner we asked for another 2 cappuccinos to take away with us!
excellent cakes coffee breakfast and lunch! o and more cakes!!!
Great food, atmosphere and good value. The orange chocolate cake is immense.
Lovely food and friendly staff. Will go back again.
Please rate it down so people don't hear about it and I can have it all to myself mwahahaha.
I went there and it was very nice, very friendly staff! I will go again very soon
