One of the many benefits of being an antique dealer is the learning that takes place every day, either through research, information from other dealers, or the objects themselves that have a tale to tell. Think how the Keno brothers from the Antiques Roadshow can weave a story together about a Chippendale chest. They can pinpoint the state or even county of origin based on the wood used, or if there's a maker's mark they give a mini biography of the carpenter who created the piece. Then, they go over the repairs made, and heaven forbid, the stripping and refinishing that occurred when some clueless but well-meaning owner tried to fix it up. Is the hardware original? Have the legs been cut down? These things can be determined by careful inspection of an antique chest. Now go to Target and grab a vase from their Home Decor department. Flip it over. It says "Made in China". Not very interesting, is it?
I have to admit I've never had the chance to sell anything as fabulous as an eighteenth century Chippendale chest, but I needed an easy example to get my point across. Still, I run across many curiosities that have a tale to tell, sometimes by their aged appearance, and other times with more obvious stories, perhaps something in writing.
Several years ago I was browsing at one of my favorite shops, Lambs' Gate Antiques, in Grand Ledge, Michigan. Carol Lamb, the owner and friend of mine, showed me this dark silk hankie or memento keeper that contained quite a sad surprise. Inside was a lock of brunette hair, still tied in a bow, and a newspaper clipping from a Michigan newspaper dated 1897. Before I share it with you, let's have a look at the homemade memento keeper:
Inside, the hair with a flattened black bow. Lying underneath the hair was the story, cut from the newspaper that published it over 110 years ago:
The article was titled "Found in a Cistern". Already, this doesn't sound good, does it? Is there any confusion about what a cistern is? It's a receptacle that was used to hold water for the household before indoor plumbing was in place, and is still used in many parts of the world. A home built in the mid-1800's would most likely have an outdoor "privy", for waste, and a cistern to keep water for bathing and cooking.
And now back to our story. You can see the little paper clipping below:
Found In a Cistern.
Rose Etta, only daughter of Edgar C. and Ella M. Fuller died on the morning of Feb. 4th, 1897. Deceased was born in Conway, Livingston Co. Mich., Nov. 7th, 1897, and at her death was a little past 22 years of age. Never has it been ours to chronicle a death more painfully sad than of this bright and beautiful young lady, the details of which are as follows:
Miss Fuller had for a number of days previous been suffering somewhat from an attack of the grip but was not altogether confined to the house, had complained much of being dizzy and faint and had on several occasions fainted away. On Tuesday morning she had a severe attack of fainting at which time she fell to the floor and it was some time before she recovered consciousness.
On Thursday morning as she was quietly sleeping her mother thought best not to awaken her and proceeded about her work. She went to the barn to attend some chores and on returning to the house, went to the cistern to dip water and found Rose. She at once pulled her out and with almost superhuman strength carried her up a few steps to the bathroom and ran to the nearest neighbor's who came immediately. Drs. McCormick and Ward were summoned as soon as possible but all efforts to resuscitate were of no avail.
Mrs. Fuller and her daughter slept in a bedroom opening from the bathroom, the cistern pump came up into the bath room but at this time was frozen and they procured water by stepping down a few steps to an open cistern built of brick under the bath room floor and dipped the water, the cistern was several feet across the top and the water unfrozen. While Mrs. Fuller was out in the barn, Rose must have arose and walked down the steps to the cistern and fainted, falling into the water to drown.
The death of a loved one set into motion a series of customs that were strictly observed and were patterned after Queen Victoria's deep mourning over the loss of her husband, Prince Albert. Each relative of the deceased was required to wear proper black mourning clothing for a specified period of time. The term "widow's weeds" refers to the black "crape" clothing widows would wear during mourning. Of course we can all conjure up the image of Scarlett O'Hara in her "widow's weeds" after her husband's death, at the charity ball for the Confederate troops in GWTW. If we take the widow as an example, she would not be allowed to wear anything reflective such as satin fabric or jewelry of any kind for one year and one day after the death, a time considered "full mourning". After that, some adornments were allowed, such as the hair memento jewelry, a cameo or portrait brooch of the deceased, or perhaps jewelry and buttons made of jet black glass. .

My wife's story
No, she didn't get in a fight. I'm not one of those guys who is lucky enough to have his significant other find out about their fetish and go challenge some other woman.
But I *am* lucky enough to have an understanding wife with some writing talent She started writing erotic fight stories for me, and now we're sharing them with the world. Catfight stories: My first story pt. 1 My First Story, Part 1 I was nervous and I was mad, and I was fighting to decide which one I would be more. And if mad won, that wasn't the only fighting I was about to do. Jessica had been threatening me all summer. I'm 18 years old, I thought I'd moved past this sort of shit, but here we are. I'm not sure what bothered her most about me. The fact that I was going on to college and she wasn't? That I had natural blonde hair and everyone knew she dyed? That her trailer-trash boyfriend looked at me in a way he never would her? Yeah, it was probably that last one. LaFromboise is not a large town. I couldn't just avoid her, not without killing my social life. Drinking down by the lake is about all there is to do on a weekend, and that's what we all did. And Meaghan, my best friend, had warned me that Jessica had been overheard at Dairy Queen saying that she intended to stop talking and start punching on me tonight. "Denise is going to bleed tonight like the bitch she is," she'd told some friends. Fuck. Sitting at home in my bedroom, I considered my options. Yeah, I could stay home tonight. And tomorrow night. And next weekend. And then after that, I'd be going to a private college halfway across the state. But part of me was just too mad to let it go. I sized up my chances in my head. I'd never been in a fight. I'm a little on the tall side for a woman at 5-foot-8. I'm a good athlete, slim and fast, all-region basketball and field hockey. I hated to think about this, but my slightly-bigger-than-average tits had been nice for attracting boys but hell on the basketball court. An elbow to the tit hurts a bit, and I couldn't help but think that a punch might be just as bad. At least I'd been keeping my nails long. I wasn't sure how tall Jessica was, but definitely a couple of inches shorter than me. Small, but with a definite pooch poking out when she wore soemthing that showed her midriff. She smoked quite a bit, and she didn't play sports, so I doubted she was in real good shape. But she'd been scrapping since she was old enough to walk. That was the big problem. But I'd seen her fight, and other girls too. There didn't seem to be a lot of technique or experience to it, just a lot of flailing until one girl got on top of the other or they both got worn out. I was in better shape and taller, so I guessed I could pull this off. Jessica was going down. Now that I'd decided to go through with the fight, I felt even more nervous. A ball tightened in my stomach, and oddly enough my nipples got a little hard. I glanced at the Hello Kitty clock on my wall. 6:45. Nobody would be showing up at the lake until about eight, so I had a little time to think. What do I wear to a fight? Sports bra, for sure. Probably my lucky blue one from basketball. It was early fall, weather not an issue. Long sleeves would mean less chance of scratches on my arm, short sleeves would be tougher to grab on to. Pants would mean less range of motion, shorts would be more exposed. I decided I wanted a little more protection, so I laid out a black, long-sleeved top and jeans. Nice and simple. I had some time, so I took a nice, hot shower. I stood there with the water running over me, and tried hard to relax. How bad coud it be? No worse than a good, rough field-hockey match. My friends would all be there to step in if it got out of hand. The hot water soothed my stomach. After the shower, I dried off and pulled my hair into the tighest bun I could get. No reason to let that bitch get a grip on it. I got dressed, got into my car and drove out to the lake. There were quite a few people there already, and all heads turned to me when I got out of the car. Most of them male. I should have known, the chance to see a good-looking girl get it on always drew a crowd. Parts 2-4 on the site now, more upcoming. Catfight stories |

5 Winners in Obama's Space Budget
With Congress and NASA-watchers obsessed with the Obama administration's attempted sacking of the Constellation moonshot program, and the resultant slack taken up by private space companies, other shifts have been lost in the noise. Here are some winners and losers in the proposed budget, which still has to face the Congressional gauntlet.

Northern Sector Action on Awareness Centre (NORSAAC)
Context: Northern Ghana is the third poorest region in the country and recent research shows that only 60% of young people under 15 years of age living in the north qualified to enter secondary school. Regional education disparities have health impacts: 23% of young women age 15-19 with no education in Ghana's Central and Northern regions have begun childbearing compared with 7% in the Western and Greater Accra regions. There is an unemployment rate of 42-46% among out of school youth in these areas. While 70% of the population relies on bicycles for transport; bike repair services are only available in cities.
Organization: The Northern Sector Action on Awareness Center (NORSAAC) was founded in 2002 as a gender focused community-based advocacy organisation mobilizing youth to discuss and find ways of addressing sexual and reproductive health issues in schools. Since then, NORSAAC has taken a greater interest in sustainable livelihoods for youth and women, while integrating reproductive health issues and women's rights and participation.
Current Grant: With EMpower's third grant, NORSAAC will provide market-appropriate vocational training and business management skills for underemployed rural youth. Illiterate, out of school youth will receive financial literacy & small business training to become profit-generating entrepreneurs, a cohort of youth will receive training in bicycle repairs, and young women will participate in leadership training and develop action plans to help them move from being underemployed to more productive means of employment.

Twice in the last month or so, I've come across a pillow of goo (about 6 inches square) with what looks like quite a number of eggs held in suspension. The first time it was hanging from a rhodie and the second--today--it was on the ground in front of the rhodie. A friend said the description sounded like tent caterpillars, but I haven't been able to find a photo of them in this form to confirm. Any thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not tent caterpillars. any chance of pictures? |
I realize now that I passed up a terrific educational opportunity, but, frankly, I was so grossed out that I hurried to get rid of them before even thinking about my camera! |
morz8--a fellow NWer--came up with what I think is probably the answer (on the pest forum). It probably was tree frog eggs. But now I feel bad that I tossed them over the fence into the woods. |
Maybe someone on the other forum has a good formula for frog spray. |

Pacific Chorus Frog eggs. My little ponds out front are full of them but I've also found them in plants where there has been standing water. |
Put it where the hatchlings can fall into a pool or pond. |

Thanks for this educational post. Our native frogs are in so much trouble with the infestation of giant frogs that I would hate to disturb their eggs, should I be lucky enough to find some. |

Again, from another thread, not frog eggs. Dan |

I sent the picture off to WSU expert and here is his take: "From the size and appearance of the glob, I would say it is probably an egg mass from one of our common salamanders, Ampbystoma gracile, the Northwestern salamander. There is an image on the page at http://share3.esd105.wednet.edu/rsandelin/Fieldguide/Animalpages/Amphians/Salamanders.htm |

Salamander or treefrog they are both native amphibians that should be welcomed and not tossed over the fence ;). |
Thank you so much! I will put them back in or near the edge of the pond. |
Nancy Ness from our local WSU extension thought they looked more like salamander too: "They look like salamander eggs to me. According to "Plants and Animals of the Pacific Northwest" by Eugene Kozloff, all our frogs and toads lay their eggs in water. Salamander are more terrestrial. " Apparently salamanders do eat mosquito larvae so not a bad thing to have :) |

Interesting. Dang coons! Hopefully the eggs haven't dried out and will continue to develop. Dan |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Thu, Apr 21, 11 at 15:47
I have found frog eggs outside of my ponds recently. Whether the froggies were confused because of all the rain/standing water or whether a raccoon transported them they were not where they were supposed to be, in the water. I dumped them all back into one of the ponds. I have many small and container ponds. |

Hi can anybody help with my sickly looking jasmine. Not sure of the name, it is evergreen and I have a had a few white flowers in the last 2 summers but they are very sparse, the leaves are always yellowish and blotchy. It grows on a west facing trellis planter is about 2.5ft deep and 6ftlong x1ft wide. We live on a hill but the wind hits the back of the fence behind the jasmine So is fairly sheltered. On the same fence i have a climbing rose and a solarium(dont know if spelt right sorry) in seperate planters which flower really well, so dont know what I am doing wrong with the jasmine. They also get good sun from 10am till dark . Any ideas gratefully received
Any ideas on how to take camelia cuttings. I have seen a lovely red double petalled bush and would love to try and root a bit.
We have a black bamboo that even after a year was taking over. I got the otherhalf to dig it up.That was a huge job!! Then i got a back plastic bin drilled holes in the bottom. Sunk the whole bin in the ground leaving couple of inches above soil level. then i put a few bricks and stones in the bottom for drainage and put the bamboo back in the bin. 3 years later the bamboo is about 15ft high and looking fab. i put a watering can of water on it every week as it does drink alot. every year i cut about 6 of the thickest canes out at ground level and new sprouts come up, keeping it looking fresh. hope this helps.. Monty's ideaon GW of using a galvanised animal feeder was great. I am going to have a trip to my local agricultural merchant as those feeders look really stylish when planted up and looking online they are far cheaper than metal planters in garden centres.
I got sick of mine spreading so bought a black bin drilled holes in the bottom, added some stones in the bottom for drainage and then sunk it into the ground. Bamboo is doing great. they do need plenty of water as they grown in tropical type climates. also they get quite tall so make sure your pot is heavy enough not to tip over in wind.
how about an acer maybe a weeping type with the red leaves sorry dont know the name we had it in our old front garden which was sunny. we moved it to our new garden but it was too shady so i have had to move it to our back sunny garden.. it looked so pretty and was not to big near to the house
Hi all. just started landscaping my front garden which still looked like a building site. I am looking for a small tree or large bush for a focal point that does not mind shade. It gets couple of hours sun in the morning before sun goes behind the house and then catches it again in late aftrenoon. we are quite exposed being near top of mountain so got to be hardy. something that has summer flowers would be nice or verigated to try to brighten the house up. ground is now quite good as i have put raised bed in with plenty of horse condiments. Any ideas please
Hi Richard
Having your lawn relaid will not work as you will have the same problem with the dogs after it is relaid as the grass roots will not be deep enough to recover from the urine. I would rake the patches and then reseed. I have 2 beagle bitches and have particially trained them to pee on a small gravel patch at the side of my house. If i see them peeing on the lawn i put my washing up water over it. If they target a certain area of lawn i sprinkle pepper on the grass. .The lawn fix product also works as it encourages a dense sward of grass which is more resilient. There is no magic fix unless you are going to concrete, slab, gravel or lay artificial grass but i find that my spayed bitch's urine does not ruin the lawn as much as the entire bitch something to do with hormones I believe,so this may be another idea!
shady borders, i have used lavender, hostas, geum, gerainiums,ivy and even dahlias do quite well as long as the border is warm and sheltered.
I have been out too in the garden today and yes my back is truly broken after planting around 200 bulbs. It will be worth it in the spring! My worm compost bin has done really well spent ages trying to fish them back out of the compost to put them back in the bin before covering the border with the lovely fresh compost. there were plenty that got away but they breed like crazy so i dont mind setting some free and they carry on doing a great job in the garden.
Thanks sotongeoff

Well ho-ly smokes. It's official, from Bob McKenzie:
Toronto Maple Leafs have apparently fired Brian Burke as general manager. Working on official confirmations.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) January 9, 2013
When Brian Burke took the reins from Cliff Fletcher and John Ferguson Jr, the Leafs were in shambles. But Burke had a proven track record, haven built the Anaheim Ducks into Stanley Cup champions, and was hailed as somewhat of a savior for the Leafs. He liked bigger teams, wanted top-end talent, and wanted the Maple Leafs to be as good as they were famous.
As some have claimed with Obama's first term, however, it takes some time to right a whole bunch of wrongs. He made some great trades, picking up Dion Phaneuf for a handful of spare parts. He turned some (high) draft picks into Phil Kessel, maybe not the best big picture idea, but at least he got a proven scorer. He turned what appears to be a disappointing Luke Schenn into James Van Riemsdyk. He got Joffrey Lupul (and Jake Gardiner) for a fair shake.
…But on the other side, he's made some r-u-f RUF free agent signings, from Mike Komisarek to Colby Armstrong to Tim Connolly and beyond.
Needless to say, the ship hasn't been righted since he's taken over, finishing 24th, 29th, 22nd, and 26th, and the Leafs' brass has had enough.
The timing, from where I sit, is flat odd. The season starts in a hot three days, and the puck drops on the year a mere 10 from now. It's pretty clear that Assistant GM Dave Nonis will be taking over in the interim (though note that that's entirely speculation for now), and who knows, possibly long-term. I'm a fan of Burke. This whole thing is bumming me out a bit.
I just don't think they gave him enough time for this to play out. The fact that it seems out of the blue makes you wonder: did something happen behind the scenes, a moment, a blow-up, an argument? Were the brass pissed that the new CBA bailed out the GMs who took wild chances, while Burke refused to take those shots?
Guess what? I literally have no idea.
What we do know, for now, is that with Brian Burke out of work, we have the perfect destination idea for him here at theScore. Don Cherry's seat. Get that man on there. I'd love to hear him speak freely.
Timing of Burke dismissal very odd. He and all brass were at Marlies game last night in Hamilton. Truth will surface. Something fishy.

Anandamide, also known as N-arachidonoylethanolamine or AEA, is an endogenous cannabinoid neurotransmitter. The name is taken from the Sanskrit word (and Hinduistic religious term) ananda, which means "joy, bliss, delight", and amide.[1][2] It is synthesized from N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine by multiple pathways.[3] It is degraded primarily by the fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) enzyme, which converts anandamide into ethanolamine and arachidonic acid. As such, inhibitors of FAAH lead to elevated anandamide levels and are being pursued for therapeutic use.[4][5]
It was isolated and its structure first described in 1992 by W. A. Devane, Lumír Hanuš et al. who were working in a team led by Raphael Mechoulam at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[6]
Physiological functions[edit]
Anandamide's effects can be either central, in the brain, or peripheral, in other parts of the body. These distinct effects are mediated primarily by CB1 cannabinoid receptors in the central nervous system, and CB2 cannabinoid receptors in the periphery.[7] The latter are mainly involved in functions of the immune system. Cannabinoid receptors were originally discovered as being sensitive to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC, commonly called THC), which is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis. The discovery of anandamide came from research into CB1 and CB2, as it was inevitable that a naturally occurring (endogenous) chemical would be found to affect these receptors.
Anandamide has been shown to impair working memory in rats.[8] Studies are under way to explore what role anandamide plays in human behavior, such as eating and sleep patterns, and pain relief.
Anandamide is also important for implantation of the early stage embryo in its blastocyst form into the uterus. Therefore cannabinoids such as Δ9-THC might influence processes during the earliest stages of human pregnancy.[9] Peak plasma anandamide occurs at ovulation and positively correlates with peak estradiol and gonadotrophin levels, suggesting that these may be involved in the regulation of AEA (anandamide) levels.[10] Subsequently, anandamide has been proposed as a biomarker of infertility, but so far lacks any predictive values in order to be used clinically.[11]
Anandamide plays a role in the regulation of feeding behavior, and the neural generation of motivation and pleasure. In addition, anandamide injected directly into the forebrain reward-related brain structure nucleus accumbens enhances the pleasurable responses of rats to a rewarding sucrose taste, and enhances food intake as well.[7][12]
A study published in 1998 shows that anandamide inhibits human breast cancer cell proliferation.[13] Some studies have linked anandamide release as a mechanism of analgesic effects induced by exercise, particularly by running.[14]
In 1996, researchers discovered anandamide in chocolate. They also detected the presence of two substances that might mimic the effects of anandamide, N-oleoylethanolamine and N-linoleoylethanolamine.[15]
Synthesis and degradation[edit]
The human body synthesizes anandamide from N-arachidonoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE), which is itself made by transferring arachidonic acid from lecithin to the free amine of cephalin through an N-acyltransferase enzyme.[16][17] Anandamide synthesis from NAPE occurs via multiple pathways and includes enzymes such as phospholipase A2, phospholipase C and NAPE-PLD.[3]
Endogenous anandamide is present at very low levels and has a very short half-life due to the action of the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), which breaks it down into free arachidonic acid and ethanolamine. Studies of piglets show that dietary levels of arachidonic acid and other essential fatty acids affect the levels of anandamide and other endocannabinoids in the brain.[18] High fat diet feeding in mice increases levels of anandamide in the liver and increases lipogenesis.[19] This suggests that anandamide may play a role in the development of obesity, at least in rodents.
Paracetamol (or acetaminophen in the U.S.A.) is metabolically combined with arachidonic acid by FAAH to form AM404.[20] This metabolite of paracetamol is a potent agonist at the TRPV1 vanilloid receptor, a weak agonist at both CB1 and CB2 receptors, and an inhibitor of anandamide reuptake. As a result, anandamide levels in the body and brain are elevated. In this fashion, paracetamol acts as a pro-drug for a cannabimimetic metabolite. This action may be partially or fully responsible for the analgesic effects of paracetamol.[21][22]
There have been identified transport proteins for anandamide and its sister molecule 2-arachidonoylglycerol. These include the heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) and fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs).[23][24]
Medical benefits[edit]
The Royal Society of Chemistry have stated that research indicates that AM1172 could potentially be developed into a drug that would increase the brain's anandamide levels to help treat anxiety and depression.[25]

Everyone has one — it's a combination of
the culture, traditions and genetic traits that came from your
Learning as much as you can about your
heritage and learning it as early as possible can have a big impact on
your life, says the National Genealogical Society.
In a publication geared to children, the
society points out, \"Learning about your ancestors will help you
discover things about yourself and help you understand more about
society and the world. As you hunt for information about them, you will
see how their efforts laid the foundation for you. When you see how they
handled the challenges they faced in the past, you may feel better
prepared to face challenges in your own life.\"
Encouraging an early interest in family
history was the purpose behind the Genealogy Kids Camp that was held as
part of the recent National Genealogical Society conference held in Salt
Lake City.
Kids Camp was started by the Southern
California Genealogy Jamboree, said Charlotte Bocage, program director
for that group. \"We tried it out there, and by the second year, it just
\"We want to inspire kids to start asking
questions about their family history,\" she said. \"Otherwise, they may
lose a chapter in their book of life. I still have things that I wish I
had asked my mom before it was too late. I still don't know who all her
brothers and sisters are. If I knew when I was younger what I know now,
there are so many questions I would have asked.\"
When Julie Miller, program chair for the
Salt Lake Conference, heard about Kids Camp, she thought it should be
part of the national convention. \"This is our first Kids Camp,\" she
said, but she hopes it won't be the last.
\"There are many fun ways for kids to get
involved,\" she said. \"To encourage that, NGS established the Rubincam
Youth Award to reward their efforts. Youths are the next generation of
family historians. We need them.\"
Kids Camp began with an introduction to
what genealogy is all about: ancestors, descendants, family trees.
\"It's like a puzzle with interesting
pieces that all fit together,\" said camp director Jennifer Shaw.
\"Genealogy is not just names and dates; it's about who these people were
and how they lived. Our ancestors have stories that tell us why we do

HyperPi 0.99
Version and / or Patch Used: 0.99
Developer Homepage: http://www.virgilioborges.com.br
Product Homepage: http://www.virgilioborges.com.br
HyperPi is a front end for SuperPi that allows for multiple concurrent instances of SuperPi to be run on each core recognized by the system. It is very dependent on CPU to memory to HDD speed. The faster these components, the faster it is able to figure out the number Pi to the selected length.
For our testing we use the 32M run. This means that each of the four physical and four logical cores for the i7 and the four physical cores of the i5 is trying to calculate the number Pi out to 32 million decimal places. Each "run" is a comparative to ensure accuracy and any stability or performance issues in the loop mentioned above will cause errors in calculation.
Out of the box the Hyper Pi score on our ASRock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 lines up with the GIGABYTE G1.Sniper2. As always, though, you can see when we crank those clock speeds up we get a really nice boost in overall performance with a nice chunk being taken off the overall time.
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.00.1035BETA

Product Homepage: http://www.AIDA64.com
Replacing Everest in our labs is AIDA64. This new testing suite is from the core development team from Lavalys and continues that tradition. The guys have thrown in better support for multithreaded CPUs as well as full 64 bit support. We use this to test memory and HDDs for now, but may find ourselves opening this up to other areas of the motherboard.
Out of the box we again see that our Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 lines up with our other Z68 boards fairly evenly with very little separating them. You can again see when we hit over 5GHz, though, we see that nice boost in overall performance.

Over the weekend, Nick Bilton gave lie to the feel-good myth propagated by Mark Zuckerberg's founder letter–namely that Silicon Valley entrepreneurs aren't in it for the face-melting wealth. (Apparently, some people truly believe startups decide to sell 25 percent more stock three days before an IPO to make the world a better place.) In The New York Times, however, Mr. Bilton argues that while some moguls, like the rare Mr. Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs, genuinely weigh product over profit, many are just faking it until they make it (very, very big).
As one example of the tenor of conversation that happens behind modest Menlo Park doors, Mr. Bilton points to a clandestine group of early Facebook employees who prefer to compare spending habits with like-minded multi-millionaires:
"At Facebook, the first 250 employees are on a highly secret list called TNR250, for The Nouveau Riche 250. They discuss things they plan to buy when they sell their hundreds of millions of dollars in stock: boats, planes, artwork, even an island. (To be fair, philanthropy is also discussed.)"
Naturally, inquiring minds inside the bubble turned to Quora, the Q&A platform cofounded by Facebook alums, to ask about the group, referencing Mr. Bilton's article. Although the user who posted the question merely wondered if the list really existed, one savvy anonymous responder, claiming to be a Facebook employee, anticipated Quora's favorite query: how does X feel?
"Yeah, I'm an early FB employee and on that list. It's pretty spammy and often filled with solicitations for angel investing, philanthropy, etc, which is sort of exactly what you'd expect. Not quite the yacht lounge we were told it would be."
Pobrecito early Facebookers, can't even get some good yacht talk going. Times like this, really makes you appreciate the candor of one Captain Larry Ellison.

Like Bank of America, JP Morgan, and Goldman Sachs before it, Credit Suisse announced this week that analysts and associates will have some semblance of a weekend, moving forward. Unlike JP Morgan's monthly "protected" weekend and BofA's "take the number of UNAUTHORIZED weekend days you were previously working and cut it in half," Credit Suisse has chosen to adopt the Goldman Sachs 36-hour weekend model, unless of course urgent work needs to be done, in which case, consider your ass glued to that desk.
The Swiss bank, which has a major presence on Wall Street, said in an internal memo on Monday that it was issuing new guidelines to discourage analysts and associates — the two lowest employee levels — from working in the office on Saturdays. The bank said the new policies, covering junior bankers in the Americas, would take effect this week. The initiative is the latest attempt by a major investment bank to alter the hard-charging culture of its entry-level jobs, which are often seen as a steppingstones to higher-ranking positions. For analysts across Wall Street, working into the wee hours or even pulling all-nighters is an unwritten expectation of the job, and weekend work is common…On Monday, Credit Suisse said internally that its analysts and associates should not be in the office from 6 p.m. on Fridays though 10 a.m. on Sundays. In addition, conference calls should be avoided on Saturdays but are permitted early on Sunday mornings, the memo said. The rules don't apply to "live deals," which require analysts' immediate attention. A Credit Suisse spokesman said that a live deal was "a deal that is actively being put together."
As you were.

"The rules don't apply to "live deals,""
What are those?
Considering we haven't done a meaningful deal since Google (Which we did for free/no-fees) this won't be an issue. Except for those Saturdays that we will need you to come in so we can Rif you…

Great, now I'm only wasting time from 8 am to 8 pm all the other days of the week. After 8 pm is when the dick MD finally gets around to sending around the work that needs to be done.
Utter tosh. Have these banks not heard of karoshi? They can learn something from the Japanese. It's a risk you take in banking– just like policemen getting shot.
36 hour weekend > bonus paid in subprime and vertical slices of CDOs with 5 year lock-up, 100% clawback and multiple knock-out clauses that the bank didnt want to keep on their own balance sheet
Play it again Sam.
Thursday's the new Friday.
Thank God analysts not on any deals can now have the weekend offf
I don't know if I made a mistake accepting the GS offer now that CS is offering people a FULL 4 HOURS more "protected time" on the weekends.
So if Goldman jumped off the brooklyn bridge you would do it too?

MD: So thanks for all the good work this year, your bonus came out to 50k and you were rated as a solid performer
Associate: Oh okay, doesn't that seem to be a bit on the low side?
MD: Keep in mind what the opportunity here really provides. The firm has shifted into a more sustainable business model also. Besides 3% less hours vs last year really improved everyones quality of life. The team needs to be in this together and we need team players, not golf/tennis players.

The Rubin Cinema Paradiso
Cinema Paradiso
1988, Italy and France, Giuseppe Tornatore, 121 min.
Starring Philippe Noiret, Enzo Cannavale and Antonella Attili
Introduced by neuroscientist Moran Cerf
Free with a $7 bar minimum
- Alfredo: Life isn't like in the movies. Life... is much harder.
- From the shooting script (by Giuseppe Tornatore ) The middle hole is camouflaged by the huge head of a roaring lion, all in plaster, and the lens of the projector can be glimpsed between its sharp teeth.
- Moran Cerf will use the film as a neuroscientific demonstration of 'the illusion of free will.'
About the Speaker
Moran Cerf is a neuroscientist at the UCLA Department of Neurosurgery and the NYU Stern School of Business.
His research uses methods from brain science to understand the underlying mechanisms of our psychology.
He has published works that address questions such as: "How are conscious percepts formed in our brain?"; "How can we control our emotions?"; "Which brain mechanisms determine if we find content interesting and engaging?". Most recently, his focus has been on the neural mechanisms that underlie decision-making, thereby offering a new perspective on predicting future choices and investigating how much free will we have in our decisions.
In order to study the neural mechanisms of behavior, Dr. Cerf directly records the activity of individual nerve cells from the brains of patients undergoing neurosurgery. Using electrodes implanted deep inside patients' brains for clinical purposes, Dr. Cerf is able to study the ways in which thoughts and memories are formed in our brains. He holds multiple patents and his works have been published in wide-circulation journals such as Nature and Science, as well as Scientific American Mind and leading neuroscience journals.
Dr. Cerf has lectured at numerous organizations and institutes, including NYU ITP, China's AST (Art, Science, Technology), PopTech, DLD, Google Zeitgeist, SigGraph and more. His work has been featured in numerous media and cultural outlets, such as the BBC, Slate.Com, Wired, MSNBC, Gizmodo, New Scientist, the Venice Art Biennial, TED-Ed, and others.
As a seasoned member of the story-telling community in New York and Los Angeles, Dr. Cerf's stories have appeared on NPR's "Unfictional", WNYC Studio360 and the Moth, where he is a 12-time Story Slam winner and a two-time Grand-Slam champion.
Dr. Cerf was identified as one of 2011's "People to Notice" by Israel's leading newspaper for his success in making scientific research accessible to the general public.
Prior to his career in opening and studying brains, Dr. Cerf worked as a hacker for various security companies, breaking into banks and financial institutions for a living. He held positions as software developer, team leader, CTO, and security architect for several NASDAQ companies. He currently applies his knowledge in software and hardware hacking towards cracking the ultimate code of our brain. His adventures as a hacker and its application to everyday mysteries has been featured in radio and television programs.
Dr. Cerf has had additional short-lived careers as a furniture-designer, a pilot, an inventor, a radio host, and a filmmaker.
Additionally, he is the Alfred P. Sloan faculty at the American Film Institute (AFI) in Los Angeles, where he teaches an annual screenwriting class on science writing in film.
Dr. Cerf has a PhD in neuroscience from Caltech, a BSc in Physics and an MA in Philosophy of Science from Tel Aviv University.
He is right-handed.

@Google: I'm Canadian and I want my Google TV NOW!!!!Posted on 15:30, May 21st, 2010 by Many Ayromlou
I don't understand what's wrong with companies today. I, like the rest of you have been following the Google I/O conference announcements for the past couple of days and just heard about Google TV today (yeah I know a bit behind in my feed). I was all excited and was thinking of all the possibilities (think: googletalk, conferencing, streaming ppv, cloud based gaming, etc.). Then, later on, I came across a partner announcement from Logitech….Wow, wait a sec, the mouse company? Yep, it makes sense, they make webcams, keyboards and mice and have in the recent years boughtup Harmony, the guys who make the cool super-nerdy TV remotes. At this point I decide to take a look around the Logitech website and I come across this: Q: What will I need to make it (Google TV) work? What the hell? U.S. only? Again? Google? The In-ter-net search giant? Come on guys what the hell is wrong with you? First you come preaching that Apple's way of creating a walled garden is badbadbad. Then you make fun of their devices. Then you make fun of their developers. But you know what…..as bad as Apple has been/become, atleast their walls are semi-climable. Back when Hulu pulled this trick with people outside U.S. I thought well, small company tries to do something innovative and they had to bow down to the studio's, TV producers. But google? You can not tell me that the big G could not have walked into the room with all the content providers around the table and said…."Okay We're gonna launch this thing called Google TV, and YES, since we're a Global company, our service will also be globally accessible". Sorry guys/gals, you've lost my vote….You might have the best (arguable) search engine, but when it comes to devices (ie: physical THINGS), you need to go back to school. In the meantime I guess I just have to hand my C$ to el Jobso, get a AppleTV and hack Boxee into it. ltr. Oct

Mayor de Blasio said he expects to have more than enough applicants to fill teacher positions if, as expected, the city implements universal prekindergarten this year.
In a report released Tuesday on the city's preparations to recruit and train high-quality teachers as part of the expansion of full-day pre-K, the city Department of Education projects it will need up to 1,000 new lead teachers this September to instruct 53,600 children, with another 1,000 teachers needed the following year for full implementation. The report says up to 8,000 prospective teachers may apply.
All pre-K teachers—in public schools and community-based organizations—must hold a bachelor's degree and, ultimately, earn a valid early childhood state certification and a master's degree.
Already, the DOE says, applications from teachers with certification to teach pre-K are up 55 percent over this time last year.
To further deepen that pool, the DOE is also undertaking a national recruitment effort to attract high-quality talent from across the country, with applications online at TeachNYCPreK.org.
As part of the plan to recruit, train and retain the best teachers, the city will enter a $6.7 million partnership with the City University of New York and its Early Childhood Professional Development Institute to help 400 New Yorkers secure their certification to teach pre-K.
"No single factor is more important to starting a child's education right than ensuring that child has an excellent teacher," de Blasio said in a statement. "I have seen what a difference it can make firsthand with my own children. We have put in place the building blocks to make sure we have trained and qualified professionals in every single classroom."
The DOE will also hold recruiting events throughout the city with particular emphasis on areas with a high number of new classrooms, and will launch a "Teach NYC pre-K" subway advertising campaign this spring.

Honestly? Apple does not care about the little guys.
They put up a "pirate" copy of Lugaru when there was an official copy already up. The author of the fake version claimed that since Lugaru went open source he was within his rights to steal all the game content (not provided with the source code) port it over to the ipad himself and throw it up for a fraction of the official price (Regardless of the fact that when the source code was released it specifically stated that A: It was not to be used for commercial projects and B: None of the games content was covered under the open source license, and could not be redistributed.)
When complaints came in about the cloned copy Apple still allowed the fake to double his asking price as he made a last ditch effort to cash in.
This stuff happens a lot. The reason Apple certification takes so long is not because they spend a lot of time, but because they fast track apps from bigger publishers. For most apps they only do a brief check for inappropriate content, or obviously copyrighted material.

Bob Dylan rumoured to have been painting topless women in New York's Central Park
Dubious rumours have spread that Bob Dylan was seen painting topless women in New York's Central Park last week.
Unsurprisingly anonymous sources claim that the singer-songwriter was sat at an easel in the park on Thursday (June 13), painting a group of partially nude women. The group were reportedly all reading David Bowman's futuristic novel, Bunny Modern, as part of a gathering set up by the artist and photographer Richard Prince, according to Animal New York, a website specialising in "art, news, culture, politics and opinion" from the city.
Dylan, or at least someone who was all "wild hair with good shades", as the source puts it, was reportedly there with Prince – although a woman taking part in the Topless Pulp organisation claims the participants had no idea if the singer was actually present or not.
Writing on the group's blog, she says: "Was the singer-songwriter responsible for anthems of social change such as 'Blowin' In the Wind' and 'The Times They Are A-Changin'' there, too? If so, he didn't come over and introduce himself. And we really wish he had."
Too busy painting, perhaps. To complicate matters even further, Animal New York now report that the anonymous tipster has helpfully sent them a picture of Dylan's reputed painting – which another anonymous source then states is clearly modelled on a photograph of Italian actress Sonia Aquino, taken by fashion photographer Bruno Bisang.
Were you in Central Park on June 13? Did you see Dylan painting topless women? Somehow, we suspect not, but we're keeping an open mind…

Cemetery law is slightly different in New Jersey. There, societies are similarly barred from reselling their plots on the open market, and cemeteries are entitled to seize a society's plots if that society has been found to be reselling them, according to a spokesman for the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. There is no possibility of prosecution.
In an email, Gersten told the Forward said that she had offered the plots back to the New Jersey cemetery where her society owns its plots and that it had declined to purchase them. She also said that she makes the maintenance and preservation fund payments required by law with each transfer.
That Gersten offered the graves to the cemetery should not make a difference under New Jersey law; the buy-back provision appears to be exclusive to New York. It does suggest, however, that the cemetery may have been aware of her activities and chose not to exercise its option to repossess her plots. The cemetery, Cedar Park & Beth-El, did not respond to repeated requests for comment from the Forward.
In New York, where the law is stricter, some burial society officers argue that their sales can be construed as efforts to find new members for their societies. "Who's to say that I'm not selling to members of the organization?" Eric said. When people contact him about the ads he's placed in the Forward, Eric said that he explains to them that they are joining a burial society. "You don't have to go to any meetings, but now you've just joined the burial society," Eric said he tells them.
Since last December, a man named Jack Neiman has posted at least nine free ads on Craigslist offering plots at Montefiore Cemetery, a Jewish cemetery in Queens, for $1,500. A representative of Montefiore said that the cemetery charges $4,500 for plots like the ones Neiman is selling.
Neimen's ads, which differ slightly from each other, are somewhat disjointed. Most include the phrase "This plot is located in a nice location and we are asking $1,500." The ads note that the price is "negotiable."
Contacted by the Forward, Neiman said that he led the Podembitzer Benevolent Society, a 107-year-old landsmanschaft that once maintained an address on East Broadway on the Lower East Side.
"I'm not reselling, I'm getting members," Neiman told the Forward. "That's the initiation fee. $1,500 to get in."

Pür-ly Bizarre: Kate Middleton's Face on a Jellybean
Friday, April 15, 2011 | COLUMNS: Around Town, Campaigns
It's official. Royal wedding mania has reached a fever pitch. And it's all thanks to a jellybean. (Yes, you read that correctly.)
It's official. Royal wedding mania has reached a fever pitch. And it's all thanks to a jellybean. (Yes, you read that correctly.)
Elizabeth Taylor, the sultry screen goddess who personified the glamour of 1950s and 1960s Hollywood, passed away yesterday at age 79. A giant of film, fashion and beauty, Taylor captivated audiences worldwide with such iconic performances as Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (for which she won an Academy Award) and the eponymous star of Cleopatra.
The most awaited wedding of the year finally released its guest list. As Prince William and fiancée Kate Middleton prepare to tie the knot next month, all eyes are on the royal couple's star-studded ceremony. From surprise celebs to passed-over politicians—Pür's got the scoop on who made the cut and who got snubbed.
Happy Fat Tuesday, everybody! Mardi Gras is legendary for its exciting parties, grand balls, marvelous masquerades and colorful, action-packed parades. In New Orleans and other cities in the Southeast, locals and tourists use beads, doubloons, extravagant costumes and delicious King Cake to party down. I've always wanted to participate in the Mardi Gras merriment, but for now, I'll celebrate by highlighting the traditional colors of the festivities: Purple, Green and Gold! Each color has its own significance and symbolism, and these flirty, fun shades will have you saying "Laissez les bons temps rouler!" (Let the good times roll!)
The Oscars may be behind us, but Hollywood isn't taking a break anytime soon. With summer a mere four months away, movie studios are gearing up for their busiest time of year. As one of film's biggest franchises puts the final touches on its latest installment, we look back at how it wowed us with its ethereal beauty and haunting enchantment.
Last night, Hollywood dazzled us yet again at the 83rd Academy Awards. And while the ceremony itself was as glamorous as any in recent history, the red carpet lead-up left us longing for more. This year, more stars chose to play it safe than to take wild wardrobe chances, much to our chagrin. Even the notoriously style impaired (i.e. Helen Bonham Carter) looked relatively tame by past award show standards. To be sure, the star-studded event did offer a few gems, but for those of us hoping for a runaway hit look or a fashion disaster, the view was pretty bleak.
Today is National Wear Red Day, and all across the country, women (and men) are donning their most captivating crimsons, stunning scarlets and vampy vermilions in support of women's heart health. And we at Pür Minerals are no exception. As proud supporters of the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women® movement, we took the celebration to heart, flaunting our most flattering color in style.
In case you didn't remember, yesterday was Groundhog Day. In Georgia, both of our furry foreseers, Gus and General Beauregard Lee, predicted an early spring, and I'm putting faith in them. Last weekend, we had a wonderful sneak peek at spring weather, with plenty of sunshine and highs in the low to mid 60s. It was delightful, and now I'm anxiously awaiting the new season!
Last night marked the 17th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. And while the ceremony itself offered few surprises (The King's Speech took Best Picture and Actor, Natalie Portman received Best Actress), the view from the red carpet left us both bewitched and bewildered. With award season in high gear, Hollywood's brightest stars took center stage once more with bold statements that paid in spades and some that ended in fashion disaster. Here are our top picks for this year's best and worst dressed.
Last night, Pür Minerals Brand Manager Tisha Thompson and Assistant Brand Manager Amanda Poe brought beauty—pür and simple to the red carpet at the 53rd Annual Grammy Nominee reception in Atlanta, GA. Held by the Atlanta Chapter of the Recording Academy, the event honored Georgia's music elite in the glorious ballroom of the W Hotel.

Our builder gave us 1 1/2" diameter (1.5 OD) sleeves in our deck which we were going to use for a volleyball set. Turns out that most of the nicer volleyball sets require a 1.9 OD size sleeve.
I think it's a little weird that we got sleeves so small - in fact I cannot find a single pool volleyball set out there that will accommodate 1 1/2". My husband says it's our fault for not double checking. The builder says that 1 1/2" is the standard size for volleyball sleeves. Then why can't I find a quality set that will accommodate this?! I'm just wondering what size most people have. |

1.5". My PB said it was standard also. I'm going to make my own using PVC and having a net purchased from Sports Authority altered to fit the correct distance. |

S.R. Smith makes a very nice set that will fit in standard 1.5 inch anchors. Interfab also makes them. Either one will be a solid set that will give many years use. |

7. Soak for three days and on the fourth day powder the red chillies in a mixie. Add little of the oozed out water to that and grind to a paste.
8. Mix this ground paste well with mavadu. Tie with a clean cloth on top of the jar.

10. Pickle is ready to serve.
Add 1 cup of water with salt and allow to boil until it dissolves. Remove from fire and allow it to cool. Add with coated mavadu and store it in a bottle or jar. Even if salt does not dissolve completely you can add it to mavadu. It will dissolve completely in a few days time.
