A plan to rezone a wide swath of Woodside and Maspeth got the approval of the Queens Borough Board this week.
A review by the City Planning Department and the approval of the City Council are now the only thing standing in the way of the plan, which would downzone more than 100 residential blocks while allowing more high rises along Queens Boulevard.
The proposal covers an area bounded by the Long Island Expressway on the south and Roosevelt Avenue on the north. The New Calvary and Mt. Zion cemeteries mark the eastern boundaries of the rezoning, while the Long Island Rail Road tracks mark the western edge. A total of 130 blocks are part of the plan.
The overall goal of the rezoning is to preserve as much of the area as possible as a neighborhood of one- and two-family homes, according to Planning Department officials.
Much of the area that is now zoned R4, which allows all types of residences, would be rezoned to either R4-1, which allows detached and semidetached one- and two-family homes, or R4B, which is similar to R4-1 but with more stringent height restrictions.
Several blocks near New Calvary Cemetery that are now zoned R6, which allows for apartment buildings with no set height restriction, would be changed to R5, a zone that sets the maximum building height at 40 feet.
The other major change would be rezoning the entire Queens Boulevard corridor between Woodside and Maspeth as R7X, a designation that allows high-rise apartment buildings. Currently only a few blocks around the Big Six Towers between 61st and 59th streets have that designation.
That zoning allows for residential buildings up to 125 feet high with ground-floor retail. Parking would be required.
That proposed change sparked concern from some residents, who worried the additional high-rise housing would lead to overburdening local schools and transportation services.
However, Joseph Conley, chairman of Community Board 2, said the new zoning would draw off high-density development from the surrounding neighborhoods to the new zone, which is currently mostly occupied by auto-related businesses.
The proposed change would also be on the north side of Queens Plaza, close to subway stations and bus stops, he said.
In the interest of speeding up the process, which began six years ago, both community boards 2 and 5 waived the usual 60-day waiting period between the Planning Department approval and their own votes on the plan. Community Board 5 approved the proposal Feb. 8, while Community Board 2 approved it Feb. 2.
Conley and Vincent Arcuri Jr., chairman of Community Board 5, also asked that the resolution include a request that the City Council do away with "infill" provisions in the current zoning law.
Infill zoning, originally created to encourage the development of vacant lots, allows larger-than-usual buildings on empty properties. It is not allowed in the new R4A zones. "If the infill was gone, half of the rezonings in Queens would be unnecessary," Arcuri said.

Real World Direct3D Benchmarks
Max Payne
Max Payne is a new generation DirectX 7/8 game. This game is based on Hardware T&L advancements as well as many other features of the Intel Pentium 4 and Athlon XP.
With all strings pulled, the 9700 is able to just take out the Ti4600 video card.
Aquanox is the latest instalment of our benchmark software. This game is based heavily on DirectX 8 and 8.1 advancements and is designed to stress video cards to their ultimate limit, in all the best D3D benchmarks to date.
Aquanox takes a lot of power to run in just normal 1024x768 mode, but to run it up to 1600x1200 mode you need the power of ATI behind you, Gigabyte have put this power to extremely good use.
Unreal Tournament 2003 continues the success that Unreal Tournament generated as an online game and benchmark. UT2003 pulls all of its weight on to the 3D and Memory subsystems, pushing graphics reality to the maximum is its game, and you need some serious power to pull this one off
Gigabyte and its ATI power win the final benchmark.

Save the date for Tablet's Hanukkah musical, 'Eight Days More'
From the folks who've brought you Everything's Coming Up Moses, the Gypsy-inspired Passover musical, get ready for Eight Days More, a Hanukkah tale—with song!—that bears a more than passing resemblance to a certain show concerning the 1832 Paris rebellion. Presented by Tablet Magazine and written by contributing editor Rachel Shukert, Eight Days More will premiere on the evening of December 15 at 92Y Tribeca. Tickets are already on sale. The five bucks you save buying in advance (what a bargain!) is five bucks you can spend on presents.

Why go?
Because it's one of the most romantic, gorgeous, unspoilt stretches of coast in Europe. Where else, less than two hours' flight from Britain, can you drive or walk alongside rugged pink rocks with the teal-coloured Mediterranean glimmering below, framed by grand, arabesquing pines? You can, of course, on the Cote d'Azur. But essentially what you find on the Costa Brava is the same coastline, a little farther south, generally at a fraction of the price.
Download the free Telegraph Travel app to destinations worldwide: itunes.apple.com
Gloriously wild in parts and tastefully manicured in others, the Costa has some of the finest Blue Flag beaches in Europe, broad and sandy stretches to elegant horseshoe bays and secluded smugglers' coves.
You'll also find wonderful independent hotels and exceptional food. Any lingering associations there may be with egg and chips are well past their sell-by date. Yes, English menus may still be a fixture in the larger resorts on the southerly part of the coast, such as Lloret de Mar, but further north you won't catch a glimpse of them.
In fact this stretch of the coast is a foodie's paradise and Catalonia – where the Costa Brava lies – has one of the highest concentrations of Michelin-starred chefs in Spain, not to mention superb, locally produced wines. Little wonder that this has been the holiday spot of choice for well-heeled Barcelonesas and in-the-know French for years.
The weather is another key factor, and one of the things I most love about living here. Going for a walk along the beach on Christmas day in short sleeves without feeling chilly was a blissful revelation after British winters.
Beyond that there's art, history and outdoor activities aplenty. This is Dalí country and three excellent museums – including the painter's home at Cadaqués – are devoted to him. The Costa is also home to some of the most scenic and important Greco/Roman and Iberian archaeological sites in Europe.
Alternatively, if you just want to enjoy the spectacular surroundings, there are exceptional coastal walks and world-class golf courses, as well as extensive swimming, diving, snorkelling and sailing.
When to go
A decent dose of sunshine is reasonably guaranteed most of the year round. If you're not bound by school holidays and can visit during May, June or September, these are brilliant months to enjoy the joint benefits of warm temperatures and lower hotel rates while avoiding the crowds of July and August.
Having said that, if you've set your heart on perfecting a tan in sizzling heat, high summer is the time to choose. If you do come during those peak months, you'll find the region busy but not over-run, and you can still enjoy relatively secluded beaches without having to knock elbows with half of Europe.
From February to April and October to November the weather is generally pleasant: you might catch springtime electric storms or autumn rains but these don't usually last for many days.
Getting there
Ryanair (ryanair.com) flies from London Luton to Girona (flight time about two hours), which is the nearest airport to the prettiest parts of the Costa Brava.
Otherwise, the following airlines fly into Barcelona (about two hours south of the Costa by car or bus): BA (ba.com), Iberia (iberia.com), easyJet (easyjet.com), Monarch (monarch.com.uk) and Air Europa (aireuropa.com).
The bus operator Sarfa (grupsarbus.com) runs regular air-conditioned coaches from Barcelona Airport to most key destinations along the Costa Brava, including Begur, Palafrugell and Pals.
Getting around
If you want to explore, renting a car is the easiest way. You'll get a real sense of the landscape and countryside as well as being able to explore the hilltop villages and smaller towns.
Hire an open-topped convertible and pretend you're Cary Grant or Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief, breezing along winding coastal roads with the Mediterranean shimmering down below. Cars can be hired from Girona and Barcelona airports through companies such as Europcar (europcar.com) Hertz (hertz.com), Avis (avis.com), Atesa (atesa.es).
If, on the other hand, you just want to chill out on a beach and do some gentle walking, there are good public buses between many of the main towns and beaches. Several of the hotels I've recommended are also either on the beach or very close to it, so if you're happy with staying put or coastal walks, you'll be absolutely fine without wheels.
Know before you go
Flight time: approximately two hours to Girona or Barcelona
Currency: Euro

Local laws and etiquette
When it comes to tipping: about five per cent for taxis and restaurants, €1 for hotel porters. Bars and cafés don't normally expect tips unless you're sitting at an outdoor terrace, where it's polite to leave €0.30-€0.50.
Keep your passport with you as some shops quite often ask to see it if you're paying by credit card.
If you don't have one, apply for a European Health Insurance Card so you're eligible for state medical treatment, should you need it.

Thanks George for responding. I apologize for the mispelling of your name. I talked to the folks at Sun Gro, and they didn't have the mix you mentioned but something similar LA4 Aggregate. I had them order me 2 bags at my nursery. It basically seems like a perlite/peat mix with other trace ingredients. Not sure how much better it will work than my own concoction of 1 part miracle gro garden soil, 1 part peat, 1 part vermiculite which has been working well. The LA4 looks like it dries out quicker than the mix I have made. |
- Posted by george_mander 5 to 6 (My Page) on Thu, Dec 28, 06 at 2:15
Hello again, This mix, "LA4 Aggregate perlite/peat mix with other trace ingredients" is the perfect mix. The # 4 MIX I have has the same ingredients. It's major components are Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss, Perlite, Dolomite Limestone (pH adjuster) and a wetting agent. Please note, I would suggest never to use garden soil for the mix to make own root cuttings. The very well known "Mr. Miniature", Ralph Moore also told me: "never use vermiculite for making your own mix". Always use perlite !!! Read my article, link below. |

Claudio Silvestrin Architects have completed the new Princi bakery in Via Speronari (Duomo), in the heart of Milan. Silvestrin has chosen a sand-coloured porphyry stone that matches the colour of the bread-flour. Slabs of smooth porphyry cover the floor, while rough porphyry is used to texture the wall that faces the stretched 19m-long bronze counter. The mighty impact of this earth-wall is softened by the gentle features of a waterfall.

To call The Fat Duck in the Berkshire village of Bray a restaurant is merely to skim the surface of what has become one of the world's most distinctive dining experiences. Originally a pub, the Fat Duck was recently voted the best restaurant on the planet, a tribute to the creative culinary skills of Heston Blumenthal, the self-taught chef who has rewritten the rules with dishes such as salmon poached with liquorice, lasagne of langoustine, carrot toffee and smoked bacon and egg ice cream.
The current tasting menu at Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck includes nitro-green tea and lime mousse as well as snail porridge, salmon poached with licorice and mango and Douglas fir puree.

July 23, 2013
Jefferson City, Mo. – Attorney General Koster today led a bi-partisan national coalition of 49 Attorneys General calling on Congress to amend the law to help fight prostitution and child sex trafficking. In a letter to key members of Congress, Koster and 46 other state Attorneys General and two from U.S. territories advocated that Congress amend the Communications Decency Act to provide criminal jurisdiction to state and local prosecutors. Other lead sponsors were the Attorneys General from South Dakota and Washington.
According to Koster, the Communications Decency Act of 1996 was drafted when the internet was in its infancy. The original purpose of the Act was to protect children from accessing indecent material online, but courts have interpreted certain provisions of the Act to provide immunity from state prosecution to online classified ad sites, such as Backpage.com, that promote and profit from human trafficking.
Prostitution is a local crime. Absent interstate travel, federal property, or the involvement of a minor, prostitution is not a federal crime. While the Communications Decency Act provides criminal authority to the federal government, the Attorneys General believe that criminal jurisdiction needs to be extended to help combat these crimes.
"To keep up with changing technology, federal law needs to be modernized to provide local prosecutors the tools to strike back against those who promote sexual exploitation," Koster said. "As a former prosecutor, I am familiar with the sad fact that many of those engaged in prostitution are underage and abused."
Local prosecutors report that prostitution solicitations have largely moved online. Backpage.com, for example, generates an estimated $3 million to $4 million per month in revenue.

Hello .. sorry I don't have a picture of this vine. I saw it growing over a forsythia. It had white flowers around the middle of summer and I noticed the leaves looked like a maple leaf so I thought it must be what is called 'vine maple'. Well .. I just went out now to rescue the forsythia from this vine and discovered some kind of fruit. Looks about the size of a kiwi fruit but lighter green, and has large spines all around. The spines seem fairly soft but I had gloves on. Some of these were closed at the bottom and others had opened and I could see a couple of chambers within the fruit and a seed inside one of those. I came inside and looked up 'vine maple' on the internet but those don't look anything like this vine and also seem to be a soft growing tree where this is much more a true vine. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I have seen what looks like the same thing growing along the roadside but I had never seen the fruit before. It was quite heavy when I pulled it off the shrubs. Thanks for any help. If I don't get an answer I will try to get a picture of it. I don't seem to have a camera handy with charged batteries.

Ronnie 17: Thanks so much. I did a search on that name and found it in the OntarioWildflowers.com database. That is it! I never would have thought of a cucumber looking at the fruits. Thanks again for your reply. Maria |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jericho!
Facts about Jericho
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Jericho's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Jericho was born in Feb of 2013. he is a super cute little fellow with lots of personality. His adoption fee is 400. For more info or an application please email email@example.com or call 828 433 1115 and ask for Teddi. Please be sure to read our shelters info page to better understand our adoption process
Other Pets at Friends for Animals
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jericho, a Hagerstown Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Hagerstown, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Hagerstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hagerstown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hagerstown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hagerstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Unusual Baby Names: 100 Under 100
At Nameberry, we're always looking for baby names that are both wonderful and unusual, and so today's list compiles 100 great names given to fewer than 100 babies in the US last year. We included names from a range of styles: classic and under-appreciated, as well as modern and under-discovered. Half of the golden 100 are girls' names and half boys' names. And the names are ordered from most-to-least used, with the number of children who received the name in 2013 noted after each. Our picks for 100 unusual and wonderful baby names are:
New Baby Names: Nameberry's 12 Freshest Choices
Our friends over at Nameberry are always adding new monickers to their ever-growing database of baby names. Among the latest additions? A Native American tribal name, obscure Slavic and Hawaiian choices, and names with Christian and Muslim origins. Because they're popping on the popularity list or were chosen by a celebrity, have august roots or noteworthy relatives, the baby name experts have deemed them worthy of adding to the Nameberry lexicon.
So here they are, from A to Z. Would you use one of them for your baby?
12 Calm Baby Name Ideas
Ah, what could be more beatific than the sight of a serene, sleeping babe? Serenity, tranquility, calm, peace—these are all things we wish for our children, asleep and awake. Help them onto this path by choosing a name that embraces one of these meanings. Names such as:
The dove is the symbol of peace, and this soft-sounding name of a soft cooing bird is one of the new avian names coming in. Translating dove into other languages produces some further fabulous choices: the Celtic/Gaelic Calum/Callum, the Latin Columba, the Hebrew Jemima and Jonah, the Spanish Paloma.

SEC Looks At Trades A Day Before Heinz Deal (NYT)
Regulators are scrutinizing unusual trading surrounding the planned $23 billion takeover of the food company H. J. Heinz, raising questions about potential illegal activity in one of the biggest deals in recent memory, a person briefed on the matter said. The Securities and Exchange Commission opened an insider trading inquiry on Thursday as Berkshire Hathaway and the investment firm 3G Capital agreed to pay $72.50 a share for Heinz, this person said. Regulators first noticed a suspicious spike in trading on Wednesday.
Deferred Pay Draws Fed's Scrutiny (WSJ)
U.S. banks and securities firms would have to step up their compensation disclosures under rules being considered by the Federal Reserve, said a person familiar with the central bank's regulatory efforts. The rules are in the formative stages and wouldn't take effect for some time. But an early draft has circulated internally at the Fed, this person said, marking a step on the path toward a public proposal. The Fed's push ultimately could give investors sheaves of new data on how and when companies pay their employees—including scarce numbers on how much compensation has been promised but not yet paid out.
Shifting Blame Muddles S&P Suit (WSJ)
The Delphinus deal, which means "dolphin" in Latin and is the name of a small constellation in the Northern Hemisphere, was one of more than 30 CDOs included in the federal government's lawsuit against Standard & Poor's Ratings Services last week. Federal prosecutors say that S&P, a unit of McGraw-Hill Cos., disregarded its own standards when rating Delphinus and the other CDOs, misled investors and should cover losses suffered by federally insured banks and credit unions that bought the securities, which included bundles of subprime mortgages. The discrepancy could give S&P a way to counterattack the Justice Department as the two sides gird for a battle that legal experts say will be grueling. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is seeking more than $5 billion in damages from S&P, which claims the allegations are "meritless." The U.S. government's conflicting opinions about the Delphinus deal might be a problem if the civil-fraud suit goes to trial. The ratings firm probably will argue that "these banks aren't victims," says Samuel Buell, a former federal prosecutor who now is a law professor at Duke University.
Ackman: Herbalife Short Unaffected By Icahn Stake (CNBC)
In his first public comments following the disclosure of activist investor Carl Icahn's stake in Herbalife, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who made $1 billion short bet against the stock, told CNBC he remains convinced that "Herbalife is a pyramid scheme." Ackman's statement read, "We invest based on a careful analysis of the facts. After 18 months of due diligence, we have concluded that it is a certainty that Herbalife is a pyramid scheme. Our conclusions are unaffected by who is on the other side of the investment. Our goal was to shine a spotlight on Herbalife. To the extent Mr. Icahn is helping achieve this objective, we welcome his involvement."
G-20 Seeks Common Ground on Currencies After Yen Split (Bloomberg)
Group of 20 finance ministers and central bankers begin talks in Moscow today with investors seeking clarity on how comfortable they are with a sliding yen. Questions are being asked after the Group of Seven united around a pledge not to target exchange rates only to divide over its meaning for Japan. "We have to get to the bottom of this, of course, listen to our Japanese colleagues and how they explain this and what decisions they will take and what exchange-rate policy they will follow," Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said in an interview yesterday before hosting the meeting. He said the G-20 should adopt more "specific" language opposing exchange-rate interference in a statement to be released tomorrow.
Corvette's stick shift thwarts Orlando man (OS)
Orlando police said the 20-year-old tried to carjack a man inside a Corvette near Orlando Regional Medical Center late last month, but couldn't steal the car because he didn't know how to use the clutch or stick-shift. He and his accomplice ran away from the car, but not before stealing the victim's wallet and cell phone, police said. Soon after the failed carjacking, the victim's credit card was used at a McDonald's on Kirkman Road. Surveillance video inside the restaurant showed Sayles at the register, placing an order at about 12:15 a.m. Jan. 28. Not long after, the stolen cellphone's internal GPS registered with the phone company. Authorities tracked the phone to a home on Grandiflora Drive in a neighborhood off Kirkman Road. On Feb. 8, police went to the home, and Sayles answered the door. Officers noted in their arrest report that they immediately recognized him from the surveillance video inside the McDonald's. When asked why the victim's stolen cellphone would detect at his house, the report said, Sayles said a lot of people come to his residence and they could have brought it.
One-Man Bank Keeps German Village Business Running (Reuters)
The Raiffeisen Gammesfeld eG cooperative bank in southern Germany is one of the country's 10 smallest banks by deposits and is the only one to be run by just one member of staff. Small banks like this dominate the German banking landscape. Rooted in communities, they offer a limited range of accounts and loans to personal and local business customers. While numbers have shrunk from around 7,000 in the 1970s to around 1,100 now, cooperative banks like Raiffeisen Gammesfeld provide competition for Germany's two largest banks – Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank. A typical day's work for Breiter involves providing villagers with cash for their day-to-day needs and arranging small loans for local businesses. Not to mention cleaning the one-story building that houses the bank, which is 200 meters from his own front door. Moving from a bigger bank, where it was all "sell, sell, sell", Gammesfeld-born Breiter says taking up this job in 2008 was the best decision he ever made. The advertisement required someone to work by hand, without computers. The typewriter and the adding machine bear the signs of constant use, although Breiter, in his standard work outfit of jeans and jumper, does now have a computer. "It's so much fun," Breiter, a keen mathematician, says as he deals with a steady stream of lunchtime customers. He knows his customers by name and regularly offers advice on jobs, relationship and money woes.
Ex-Analyst At SAC Felt Pressured For Tips (WSJ)
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office now are using the statements from the analyst to try to build a case against the SAC portfolio manager, Michael Steinberg, and others that could result in charges in the coming months, these people said. Authorities currently are preparing to present evidence to a grand jury against Mr. Steinberg, according to a person familiar with the investigation. The development ramps up the legal pressure on the big hedge fund, highlighting that the previously reported insider-trading investigation of SAC and its founder, Steven A. Cohen, is proceeding on multiple fronts.
Blackstone Keeps Most Of Its Money With SAC (NYT)
The Blackstone Group, the largest outside investor in the hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors, said it would keep most of its $550 million with the hedge fund for three more months while it monitors developments in the government's insider trading investigation.
Performance Tops Pedigree in Money Managers' Fortunes (Bloomberg)
Virtus Investment Partners Inc. and Artio Global Investors Inc. set out on their own in 2009 within nine months of one another. The paths of the two money managers couldn't have been more different. Virtus, which started as a virtually unknown money manager, has surged 18-fold since its public debut as assets have soared, with its shares hitting a record on Feb. 14. Artio, which listed in September 2009 after spinning out from Switzerland's 122- year-old wealth manager Julius Baer Group Ltd., saw its life as an independent firm come to an abrupt end with its Feb. 14 acquisition by Aberdeen Asset Management Plc after assets slumped and shares plunged about 90 percent.
Banks Warned Not To Leave Libor (WSJ)
The Financial Services Authority recently sent letters to a handful of major banks—including France's BNP Paribas SA and the Netherlands' Rabobank Group—warning them not to pull out of the panel that sets the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, these people said. The letters came after executives at those banks privately informed the British Bankers' Association, the trade organization that oversees Libor, that they planned to exit the rate-setting panel.

Getting married in Ikea is the NKI
"…but couldn't steal the car because he didn't know how to use the clutch or stick-shift"
I couldn't hit a golf ball because I didn't how to use the club or tee.
I always get the 25 ball combo when I go to Ikea.
Did that DB gathering ever go down? Any update? Did the DB Admin just queef in everyones face then called the cops to have the thing shut down?

"While numbers have shrunk from around 7,000 in the 1970s to around 1,100 now, cooperative banks like Raiffeisen Gammesfeld provide competition for Germany's two largest banks – Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank."
As if any of those small town banks could provide serious competition to the big banks. Why would anyone waste a few euros on a small local bank when Deutsche Bank would help them lose money by the billions in Las Vegas real estate?

I havent really researched the quadrafires but have a few questions. I have looked at like the fireplace extraordinaire. They told me they have a 10hr burn time. I currently have an Old Timer woodstove that works great. I get a good 8 to 10 hr burn out of it. What are the benefits of the newer stoves? The reason Im asking is I was given the Old Timer and it is to small for my house. It does an O.K. job assisting the propane furnace. Thanks in advance.

I think the main benefits are they're more efficient and produce less pollution. In some areas where there's a lot of particulate pollution, the authorities have tried to discourage wood stove use. But the newer wood stoves don't run afoul of the clean-air laws. I'm no expert, tho, so take the above FWIW. |
Can I reduce vent pipe diameter from 8 inches to 6 inches as I penetrate roof? |
- Posted by valeriealaska (My Page) on Mon, Sep 22, 08 at 16:55
Does anyone have any idea about installing a wood burning stove in a fireplace? We have removed the existing fireplace and all the faux rock and hearth so I am down to a four foot by eight foot hole in my wall, back to the chimney box. I have a wood burning to stove to go in the spot once we have it properly prepped. How far up the wall do I install tile? Do I install vapor barrier over the visible insulation? Can I use regular sheet rock to put the tile on or do I need *wonder board* (masonry board)? I have a professional individual to install the stove so that is not the issue...I just need to get the prep work done. |

Names like Snooki, J-Wow, and The Situation all came from some where. Wanna find out what YOUR Jersey Shore name is?
So far this year, we have heard a lot of unfortunate news of tragedy on the Jersey Shore involving swimming in our oceans. Should the state get involved?
It's more trouble for the cast of MTV's 'Jersey Shore'. Justin Vigerito claims he was punched several times during a bar brawl last week in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. Vigerito says his assailant was Ronni
While shooting season six of Jersey Shore in Seaside Heights, one of the cast members was arrested due to disorderly conduct.
The shore towns of Avalon and Stone Harbor have squashed a planned reality show fearing 'Jersey Shore'-like stigma. The series 'Start Up Beach House' was set to begin filming in August but the project was rejected yesterday.
The South Jersey resort towns now prefer to avoid the scandal and bad reputation they feel Seaside Heights has gotten as a result of reality TV.
In some parts of the Jersey Shore, many feel that you don't need to pay money to access the Atlantic Ocean.
Others feel that it's a way to keep local taxes down.
What do you think? Take our poll!
Tom Morgan recently sat down with Jersey Shore's Sammi "Sweetheart"! Promoting her appearance this Friday night at The Pool at Harrah's.
The popularity of the MTV series Jersey Shore has made Seaside Heights an even bigger attraction for tourists who make the trek to the beach off Exit 82 of the Garden State Parkway to go to the Boardwalk, the rides, the games, the food, see the house the cast has stayed at - and some decide to leave their mark there in paint.
If you live near the Jersey shore town of Point Pleasant Beach, you may spot the incredible jogging black cat! Roadrunner loves to get his daily exercise alongside his owner. Check out this fun footage from Animal Planet's Must Love Cats!
What's better than reliving the first episode of 'Jersey Shore'? Experiencing it 'Pop-Up Video' style. VH1 filled the debut of the MTV reality series with seedy bubbles containing behind the scenes scoop only producers would know.

Your Meds and Your Love Life
Dear Diabetes Health, I am 62 years old. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1997, and I am doing OK on metformin. My last A1c was 7.2 %. About a year ago, they put me on medicine for my blood pressure (which was 142/90) and for cholesterol. I started having less interest in sex, which I had really liked before.
About that time, I started to feel more down, so my nurse practitioner put me on an antidepressant. Now I have very little interest in sex. Even when my mind does, my body doesn't, if you know what I mean.
I suspect the medications may be causing my sexual problems. I'm thinking of throwing all my pills away.
Dear Jeanette,
Diabetes, high blood pressure, and depression can all cripple sex drive and function. But your blood pressure and your sugars aren't that high, and because of the timing, we agree that your medicines might be to blame for your loss of sex drive. The drugs used to treat hypertension, cholesterol, and depression have all been reported to damage sex life.
When you are on four different medications, it's hard to tell which pill is causing what. You will need to do some work with your doctor and/or pharmacist to find a medical regimen that gives you more benefits than side effects. Within all categories of meds, some are more likely to have sexual side effects than others. Perhaps you and your doctor can find some meds that work better, and stop some others. This article will give you some places to start.
Your metformin is probably not part of the problem. It is very widely used, and there have been few reports of sexual problems. In fact, it often improves sexual function by bringing blood sugars down. Most blood sugar drugs don't cause many sexual problems.
Your other drugs are more problematic. Blood pressure drugs are notorious desire killers. There are many categories of blood pressure drugs, and some are harder on sex life than others. According to According to British sexual medicine specialist Dr. John Dean, diuretics (water pills) and beta blockers are harder on sexual function than the other types.
Within the diuretic category, Dr. Dean says, "Loop diuretics such as furosemide (Lasix) have lower risk of sexual problems than thiazide diuretics such as chlorothiazide (Diuril)." Diuretics can deplete minerals like zinc that are needed for sexual function. According to the Mayo Clinic, both beta-blockers and diuretics can decrease blood flow to the genitals.
Types of blood pressure medicines less likely to cause sexual problems are the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors like lisinopril (Zestril), the calcium channel blockers like nifedipine (Procardia), and the alpha blockers like doxazosin (Cardura), which actually seems to improve sexual function in some patients. Of course, these drugs have other side effects, so you have to be careful.
There are also many types of antidepressants, and many cause sexual side effects. Virginia University researchers found that, among 802 healthy patients ages 18 to 40 who were taking antidepressants, 37% had some sexual dysfunction (SD). Fewest problems were found among patients taking buproprion (Wellbutrin), who had a 22% rate of SD, and those taking nefazadone (Serzone) with a 28% rate. The highest rates were with paroxetine (Paxil - 43%) and mirtazapine (Remeron - 41%)
Writing on the Mayo Clinic web site, psychiatrist Daniel Hall-Flavin MD says that the most commonly used depression meds, the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) "cause sexual side effects in most people." You are probably on one of those. (If there's an X or a Z in an antidepressant's brand name, it's probably an SSRI.) Dr. Hall-Flavin says a drug called fluvoxamine (Luvox) "may cause less bothersome sexual side effects than other SSRIs."
There are several other categories of antidepressants. According to Dr. Dean, the monoamine oxidase inhibitors like Nardil have fewer sexual side effects than SSRIs, and the "tricyclics" like Elavil and Tofranil have even less. Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors like Cymbalta and Effexor are a new type, and some doctors and patient web sites feel they cause fewer sexual problems. As we've reported before, many doctors recommend bupropion as the best bet.
Possibly, your cholesterol medicine is contributing to your problems. Our bodies need cholesterol to produce sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen, as well as other vital hormones. Lowering cholesterol levels can cause a number of sexual side effects.
"Space doctor" Duane Graveline MD, MPH, says that "decreased libido is a probable adverse drug reaction of statin drugs...this reaction may be caused by low serum testosterone levels, mainly due to cholesterol depletion."
You may well be on too many medications: People with diabetes (especially type 2) often are. Perhaps with a better med plan, your sex life will return, and that should help your depression a great deal.
You might also want to get your A1c down closer to 6%. Studies clearly show that people with higher blood sugars develop more sexual dysfunctions.
You should also consider having your testosterone level and estrogen level tested and possibly supplemented. Sometimes you can avoid drug-induced sex problems by taking a brief "drug holiday" or scheduling sex before your drug dose is due. Or you can treat the side effects with more medications - a drug called buspirone (Buspar) sometimes improves sex function impaired by SSRIs. Although fewer drugs are usually better than more, you can discuss these possibilities with your pharmacist or doctor.

Should the scientists who altered a deadly flu virus to make it more contagious be allowed to continue and publish their work?
- Yes, it's the best way for responsible scientists to develop defenses against possible pandemics.
- No, it's much to dangerous if information about how to mutate deadly viruses gets into the public domain.
- It doesn't matter what they do, this line of research will be developed by someone else inevitably.
- I don't know what the best course of action is.

me and my ex were still dating and decided to go and visit her mother in oregon. needless to say one thing led to another that night and my ex was going down on me while we were on the couch. she had her stereo up a little loud and her mom came out of her room to ask us to turn it down. it was like 11:30 pm. the back of the couch faces her moms room so all she could see was me sitting/ leaning on the couch. angela didnt know that her mom was there and her mom didnt know angela was there{the music and the way the couch was sitting stiffled the sound a bit}. i was asked kindly to turn down the music but when i didnt immidatly get up angelas mom went to turn it down. she walked past the couch with her back to me and niether of them knew the other was there still. as the stereo is turned down angelas says " was it good?" and her mom turned around and saw my tool in her daughters hand!!!!!both of them at the same time said "OMG!!!" all i could do was cover my face. no one blew a gasket so i thought all was good...well im sure everyone knows how women like to gossip, {no offence ladies}so at the family picnic a day later everything was good till all her uncles and male cousins asked me over to join there little group and all of em at one time asked " how was it??" real loud. i noticed at that very same time the women of angelas family had cornered her and asked the same thing at the same time!!!!!! man i was embarrassed!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone was laughing{including me and her} i didnt live that one down for years!!!! but i think on it now as one of the funniest, albiet, most embarassing moments of my life...

Albuquerque man sentenced to 46-Months imprisonment for child pornography conviction
Earlier today, Albuquerque resident Jason Dyer, 33, was sentenced to a 46-month term of imprisonment by Chief United States District Judge Bruce D. Black based on Dyer's guilty plea to possession of child pornography. Judge Black also imposed a ten-year term of supervised release to follow Dyer's prison term and ordered Dyer to register as a sex offender. Dyer, who has been detained since October 2010, remains in the custody of the United States Marshals Service.
Dyer was charged in a one-count information alleging the possession of matter containing a visual depiction of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct on May 26, 2010. On that same day, Dyer entered a guilty plea to the offense charged in the information under a plea agreement with the United States Attorney's Office.
Dyer's plea agreement reveals that, in September 2008, an undercover Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) downloaded child pornography using a peer-to-peer file-sharing program from an AP Address at Dyer's residence. On January 30, 2009, the FBI executed a search warrant at Dyer's residence and seized a computer containing images of child pornography. In his plea agreement, Dyer admitted that he was the owner and sole user of that computer. The plea agreement reflects that forensic examiners found eight images of child pornography on Dyer's computer, including a video depicting an adult male performing a sex act on a prepubescent female who is restrained with ropes.
The case was prosecuted by the FBI and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Charlyn E. Rees. It was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
The case also was brought as part of the New Mexico Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force whose mission it is to locate, track, and capture Internet child sexual predators and Internet child pornographers in New Mexico. There are 61 federal, state and local law enforcement agencies associated with the Task Force, which is funded by a grant administered by the NMAGO. Anyone with information relating to suspected child predators and suspected child abuse is encouraged to contact federal or local law enforcement.
