The 11 stories this week are written by students with the Halifax Community Learning Network (www.hcln.ca). HCLN is part of the Nova Scotia School for Adult Learning and offers programs at the Captain William Spry, Halifax North, Keshen Goodman, and Spring Garden Road branches of the Halifax Public Libraries.
The story below was written by Kenneth McDow, from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Kenneth is enrolled in literacy classes at the Keshen Goodman Library Adult Learning Program.
There are people who need help for reading and writing and the tutor can help. The people cannot do reading and writing. There are tutors who are different and who like to help people. It is hard for the people to learn and it takes time.
It takes time for the people to get used to their own tutor. But in time the people can learn from the different tutors in my class.
When you get used to the tutor, you can make it work. The tutor knows best how to help other people. It takes time for the people to learn from different tutors. The tutor can teach history and reading books from the library in the class and can help with math, too.
The people want to make life better for the person in the work force and in the world and to make life better for their families.
After learning in the school, the people can help their children with their homework at night. This makes it better for them when they grow up and their own children go to school to learn.

…..And I use the term 'cosmetics line' loosely…..
Evelyn Lozada, reality personality and star of VH1's hit series Basketball Wives and brand new VH1 show, Ev and Ocho, has announced the launch of her new cosmetics line, "E" by Evelyn Lozada, the go-to brand for high-performance beauty products at amazingly affordable prices.
Known for her shimmery eye shadow, "E" by Evelyn Lozada is heavily inspired by the trendsetting beauty and style that Lozada possesses on screen. "E" by Evelyn Lozada features a collection of professional shadow palettes that Lozada uses to create her own looks.
The beauty brand will launch a full collection of eye-shadows, powder pigments, blushes, bronzers, lipwear, lipgloss and nail polish highlighting makeup trends that fans have had the pleasure to see Evelyn Lozada wear. The line will also carry "E"- Collections specialty items featuring a 28-color Cosmopolitan shadow palette with a stunning rhinestone encrusted metallic pink shell and Blizzard a 28-color cool shadow palette with a gorgeous metallic mirrored shell and much, much more.
Ready for a good laugh? Check out the pics-
Oh look! It's premade palettes from Coastal Scents and BH cosmetics! I imagine that she will charge more than the standard $17.95 because she threw an 'e' on them but come on. As a beauty enthusiast, I am not excited or even very enthusiastic about this 'collection'.
I think the basketball wives culture has given us enough tacky earrings and now they think because they hail in wearing heavy caked makeup that it's time to jump in the cosmetics business. Thanks, but no thanks.

My combi-steam (model BS270610) is saying it needs to be descaled. My manual doesn't say anything about how to do this, only says how to reset the symbol after it's done. It does say only use a "lemon-based" descaler. Any tips on how to do this, and what with? I tried Googling and couldn't come up with too much. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. |
Follow-Up Postings:
On that same page as it says "lemon based" (citrus), it gives instructions for removing the side plate. Then soak it with the solution, rinse and replace. In my older version, the instructions are a bit different. They say that scale on the side plate and fan will make no difference in operation, but say (and give instructions) to remove the inlet pipe (behind the side plate) and descale with vinegar or citric descaler. I cannot give you a direct link to my manual (thanks a bunch, Gaggenau), but you can go to the link below, and type ED220610/11 in the search window below the downloads paragraph (NOT the search at the top right). Open the EN version, go to section 10.3 Descaling, page 39. |
Here is a link that might be useful: gaggenau downloads page
I saw that graphic, but it wasn't clear to me (I do better with written instructions, rather than visual). So you don't put any descaler in the oven itself? Just soak that piece? |
Please feel free to conatc me as well directly so I can assisst you. Here what the manual says: |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.gaggenau.com/us/service/downloads/index.html
I did the descaling with Dugol and reset the symbol, but the descale symbol keeps reappearing, though when I took the unit apart again the parts all seemed very clean. Our unit has never looked even slightly dirty, though there was some stuff to soak off on the inner fan blade when I did so last month. The symbol comes and goes; it's not there all the time. Also, I THINK I reset the symbol by choosing the option, but maybe I'm doing it wrong. Do you just select the "reset" option and then push the back arrow to get out of the menu? I didn't get any confirmation of the rest (beep, change in the visual) and I'm just wondering if maybe that's the issue. I've read there is a filter you can add to help with hard water. While we never had an issue in our first five years of use, can we add it now? Should we? We've got an electronic descaler on our water system, but not a water softener. We have hard water, but not egregiously so. We did set the water hardness, with a test strip, when the unit was installed. |
Anyone have any advice/similar experiences? |
Bumping as this is still occurring. The oven is working fine, but the descaling symbol comes on anytime it's in use. I've descaled twice, and reset warning multiple times. It's still happening. The first four years it never came on at all. Worried and frustrated. |

CRCHD Grantee, Dr. Sora Park Tanjasiri, Designs a Socially Supported Intervention to Increase Cervical Cancer Screening Among Pacific Islanders
With the support of an NCI-CRCHD R01 grant, Sora Park Tanjasiri, DrPH, MPH, director of the Health Promotion Research Institute, California State University, in Fullerton, and professor in the Department of Health Science, is teaching and conducting research focusing on community health promotion among diverse populations, particularly Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Her current research is examining the effectiveness of using Pacific Island churches and family clans to recruit women and their husbands, and educate them about the importance of getting Pap tests to prevent cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer is the third most common type of cancer in women. It is estimated that 12,340 women will be diagnosed with and 4,030 women will die from the disease in 2013. Pap tests can prevent cervical cancer incidence and mortality in all populations through early detection and surgical removal of precancerous lesions.
Tanjasiri is working together with the Samoan National Nurses Association, Tongan Community Service Center/Special Services for Groups, and the Orange County Asian Pacific Islander Community Alliance. To date, she has recruited and educated 350 women and men, out of a total targeted sample size of 1,040 Chamorros (indigenous people from Guam and the Mariana Islands), Samoans, and Tongans in Southern California. Preliminary data analyses suggest that social support from husbands is predictive of wives' Pap testing behavior, according to Tanjasiri.
Tanjasiri has found that Pacific Islanders face more barriers when it comes to getting Pap smears and cervical cancer screenings than the general California population. Those barriers include the following:
- Cultural modesty
- Language barriers (most Samoans and Tongans prefer to speak their own languages)
- Patients' fear of finding they have cancer or something else wrong
- Unavailability of Pacific Islander and female doctors who understand the language and cultural issues
- Family priorities that place husbands' and children's health over women's
- Lack of health insurance and out-of-pocket cost of Pap test
- Logistical barriers such as lack of transportation and childcare
Using funds from an NCI-CRCHD U54 grant, Tanjasiri is also addressing larger education and training needs among Chamorro, Marshallese, Native Hawaiian, Samoan, Tongan, and other Pacific Islanders in Southern California.
Weaving an Islander Network for Cancer Awareness, Research, and Training (WINCART) is a Community Network Program Center (CNP-C) at California State University comprising six community-based organizations and researchers from three universities. WINCART's goal is the reduction of disparities in cancer incidence and mortality among these diverse populations. Using the principles of community-based participatory research, the WINCART Center conducts research, training, implementation, and evaluation of community education to promote beneficial biomedical and behavioral procedures.
Tanjasiri received her Master's degree in Behavioral Sciences and Doctoral degree in Community Health Sciences from the University of California, Los Angeles. She has published more than 50 scientific articles and contributed to six book chapters. She is also the recipient of more than a dozen honors and awards, and is a member of numerous medical and scientific associations, and community boards.

It wasn't that long ago we reviewed the Silicon Power V20, a SATA II SandForce Driven SSD using the SF-1200 controller. The V20 landed on US shores well after others SF-1200 products came to market, but still used 3Xnm flash even though 25nm had become the norm.
Silicon Power learned from their V20 release that you have to bring products to market quicker if you want market share. This round Silicon Power is getting their new V30 product here and even taking a stab at making the low cost kings at the same time.
The Silicon Power V30 uses the latest SandForce SF-2281 controller and pairs it with 25nm IMFT synchronous NAND flash. To date this is the fastest combination available on the consumer market today. On paper the V30 has what it takes to be one of the fastest solid state drives on the market.
Silicon Power is known for their ability to release good products on the market at low prices. The V30 should fall into this same category when SP starts to get aggressive. Let's check out the products specs and get into the pricing details.

Dear Editor:
It's been almost 20 years that I am on Medicare. For the first two years, I paid into AARP as my Medigap. It was like sending a Christmas check to a nephew: I didn't get anything back. I rarely saw a doctor. What I did see was money removed from my Social Security benefits so that I would have less to live on. Real money for phantom illnesses.
This is how it works for Medicare. Every year a deductible is taken out. This year it is $147. Multiply this for two of us (my husband) and it comes to $294. Every month, also from Social Security, $104 disappears. For one person, times 12 that comes to $1,248. Again multiply by two and we have a total of $2,496 for the year. Add this to $294 and we arrive at the grand total of $ 2,790.
Now if we apply for AARP (and believe me all the Medigaps are the same price), for Part A, it's no-frills, basic coverage after Medicare decides what it wants to pay a physician, not necessarily what he bills for. As a matter of fact, they never get what they ask for! Let me stress that it's only after Medicare pays — nothing before Medicare kicks in. For this coverage the cost is now $156 per month, amounting to $1,872 a year times two again, totalling $3,774. So it costs more for your Medigap than for Medicare. Add this to the charges for Medicare and the grand total is $6,564 for two people for the year.
After the first two years of coverage from both, I decided to put in two-years worth of charges as a startup into an account I called our Medical Account, out of which I pay out- of-pocket charges. Every month I pay myself the current AARP cost. I'm still coming out ahead. Friends ask me, "What happens if you have a catastropic illness?" Think about it: At my age, what would that be?

"This is the same recipe I was going to post except my recipe calls for 2 cans of canned chicken. I use the canned chicken instead and it very good. I was very hesitant about the amount of hot sauce, but made it according to the recipe, and it wasn't too hot, just a nice bite to it, the cheeses must tone down the hot sauce alot! I put mine in 2 sma..."
"This is the same recipe I was going to submit. It is such a light dessert so it goes great with a big meal. We actually served it at our wedding reception for dessert. We used fresh Saskatoon Berry Sauce for the topping. I've also made it with raspberries and stawberries, but I'm sure it would be great with any fresh berry sauce."
"OMG!! That is all I can say. I read this recipe and wanted to try it, the only thing was it was at 9:00 pm. I didn't have any unsweetened cocoa so I used sweetened hot chocolate mix instead of the cocoa and sugar, and it turned out great. I too put it in my blender to make it finer. I will be making this for my kid's teachers for Christmas gif..."
"Absolutely Amazing!! I took a few suggestions from other's. I added rosemary and olive oil to make a paste. Marinated it overnight then barbequed it!!! It only took about 25 minutes to get to 160 degrees on a hot (high) barbeque. I turned it a few times to cook on all sides. Then I wrapped it in foil for 5 minutes. I didn't end up with any gravy b..."
"Wonderful Icing. I beat this with an electric beater and it didn't take long at all, maybe a minute or two. Make sure not to boil any longer than 1 minute or it will get hard. Also, I used brown sugar instead of white. The icing turned out to be very shiny. Will definitely make again."
"Absolutely amazing! This was my very first attempt at pressure cooking and it turned out great. I did alter the recipe a bit..due to family preferance. I only used 1/2 tsp of paprika. I also didn't have a fresh tomatoe so I used a 1/2 a can of Rotel Tomatoes. I added mushrooms and chopped celery. This is definately a keeper! My husband even..."

EA Struck With More Layoffs
EA Games is undergoing what the publisher calls an "organizational update," and will lay off staff across the company during the restructuring.
EA had already been rumored to be shutting down its EA Partners label, and this new wave of cutbacks will unfortunately not be the first time EA's teams were affected by such plans this year.
"In recent weeks, EA has aligned all elements of its organizational structure behind priorities in new technologies and mobile," EA said in a statement. "This has led to some difficult decisions to reduce the workforce in some locations. We are extremely grateful for the contributions made by each of our employees – those that are leaving EA will be missed by their colleagues and friends."
These are hard but essential changes as we focus on delivering great games and showing players around the world why to spend their time with us."
Though EA hasn't detailed just which parts of the company will be affected, Kotaku obtained an internal document sent to those within EA that better explained some of the changes. According to the email, EA's marketing teams will be consolidated, Origin will move under Labels' jurisdiction, and former EA Sports chief Andrew Wilson will take over as head of Origin.
More details are expected to come during EA's May 7th financial results call.

I bought the trio for brown eyes (1 black, 1 brown, 1 purple) at Ulta. I do find that the black/brown/purple colors flatter my brown eyes. I use the black during the week for work and the brown is great for a softer look on the weekends. I use the purple in my waterline once in a while when I go out in the evenings on the weekends, but it's not something I to wear on a regular basis. All three liners have good staying power, are fairly well pigmented and are not waxy/don't skip upon application. I don't find that they are as effective in the waterline, though. Even though I like this trio, there are other products I prefer over this, so I'm not sure if I'd re-purchase any time soon.

I absolutely hate to give this an average rating, because I do like them, but I can't wear them because there is an ingredient in them that irritates my eyes and makes them red and itchy.
I got the set for blue eyes, with a dark blue, a golden brown and a black, and they all look better IMO than many other eyeliners I've tried, including high end! Even on the waterline, they stay put, don't fade and don't migrate.
BUT, my eyes start getting teary, red and itchy within half an hour. There is something in the formulation that doesn't agree with me, and that happens very rarely. For this reason, I can not wear them, and I'm actually sad about it lol.
Good product, but not for everybody.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have the set for GREEN eyes, which contains a black eyeliner (which is listed on the package as having "amethyst shimmer" but does not have any detectable shimmer), an emerald one, and an amethyst one.
The color on these is beautiful, and is an excellent choice if you have green eyes and cool-toned skin. The color payoff on the two bright colors is wonderful, and the black is nice as well. My previous go-to black eyeliner was Maybelline Define-A-Line (the one with the lime-green barrel) and I would compare these to that in texture, but these smear FAR less easily and have much better staying power. That said, my only complaint is that they don't work very well for a "smoky eye" look because they don't smear very well. Once they're on, they're on, but come off easily with eye makeup remover. (I'd recommend the trio of kohl liners that PF makes in the same colors if you like to blend.)
Overall, a fun set and not a bad price for three full-sized liners!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
If you're looking for a eyeliner with color payoff, good color range, and easy to use, then look no further because these bad boys do it all! Seriously. If you want some everyday eyeliners that are easy to apply and are travel friendly, you should give them a go.
The pigmentation is great, and last all day. I usually wear purples and browns because I'm not much of black eyeliner girl. Don't be afraid to try the blue, green, purple, brown, and copper eyeliners! Personally I LOVE how these look over a regular black liner. Keep in mind your own eye color, but good thing these come in selections for different eye colors, right? ;) There is no smell, and won't irritate the eye. For what it's worth I think the price is fair especially when you get three of them! They will last you FOREVER which is great if you're on a budget.
I hope they never discontinue these because they are my go-to eyeliners! Love them.

I have a confession. I'm almost 38 years old and I TOTALLY SUCK AT EYELINER! I can "sometimes" get the liquid cat eye thing to work. If I take an hour and do it very very carefully. But with pencil liners, I usually end up trying to line and washing it off and trying again and washing it off and trying again and washing it off, and then I have to wash my whole face and shit, I'm late for work, screw it. And this went on for years. And I gave up on eyeliner and NEVER wore it.
Until I tried these.
TOTALLY GOOF PROOF! The line doesn't have to be perfect. I kinda "scribble" it on instead of one long line and it looks GREAT! I can only imagine my skills will get better with time.
5 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've had these for about a year now. These are no nonsense eyeliners that simply work. They glide on, smooth application and all day staying power. The packaging is great. Price is about $9. May favorite of them all is the black liner. I couldn't find the gel strips trio any longer so decided to jump on these. And I love them much better than the cream gel liners. No extra brush needed.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Just like the Amazing Gel/cream stackable pot liners from PF the trio of pencils perform at the same high level. They are housed in a retractable tube. If you twist up too much you can reverse it and the color will go back down; a plus to prevent break off of the liner.
The trio consists of two different matte hues and a matte black with a micro glitter to it. (I'll review colors separately) and they are really pretty. The eyeliner has a firm consistency but not too hard to easily apply. Very smooth and no skipping. Like the gel/cream the lasting power is awesome. I got some fading after nine hours of wear on my top and bottom lid. Also used in the water line the wear wasn't as long but no drifting into the eye duct.
Physicians Formula's eyeliners are just as good if not better than more expensive brands and for about $12 for three you can't go wrong.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love this trio! very beautiful outcome with all 3 used.I haven't used them as a single liner yet,but can't wait to.This is definite re-buy when I run out!
I haven't had the best experiences with drugstore eye pencils (or even high end for that matter) and I bought these just because I liked the idea of having purple liner.
I've been using all three colors for months and all I can say is WOW! They're pigmented, they don't smear on my oily eyelids (which is a godsend!), and they're cheap! They're definitely worth trying out.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Totally devoted to these eyeliners since day one. You do need a primer as it creases like crazy. Regardless of my eye color i have bought almost all shades. Recently saw a trio - the smokey nudes with platinum liner (sigh) went back and it was gone. Always used a coupon and bought on sale too. I use a brush to define the line after applying, I've also smudged it at the ends to elongate my eyes using same brush. Paraben free is a requirement for what goes on my face. These are a keeper.

ECB Lends Banks $645B, Exceeding Forecast (Bloomberg)
The European Central Bank will lend euro-area banks a record amount for three years in its latest attempt to keep credit flowing to the economy during the sovereign debt crisis. The Frankfurt-based ECB awarded 489 billion euros ($645 billion) in 1,134-day loans today, the most ever in a single operation and more than economists' median estimate of 293 billion euros in a Bloomberg News survey. The ECB said 523 banks asked for the funds, which will be lent at the average of its benchmark interest rate — currently 1 percent — over the period of the loans. They start tomorrow. "It was obviously an offer the banks could not refuse," said Laurent Fransolet, head of fixed-income strategy at Barclays Capital in London. "It shows the ECB is not out of ammunition and it gives banks security on liquidity for a few years. On the other hand it means banks will rely on the ECB for longer."
Banks May Flock to 'Free Money' as ECB Awards 3-Year Loans (Bloomberg)
"This is basically free money," said Jens-Oliver Niklasch, a strategist at Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg in Stuttgart. "The conditions are unbeatable. Everybody who can will try to get a piece of this cake."
Moody's Warns of Euro Crisis Threat to UK's Rating (Reuters)
Britain's top-notch debt rating is under threat from the crisis in the euro zone, and further shocks to the country's economy could derail government efforts to balance the budget, ratings agency Moody's said on Tuesday. Britain's scope to absorb further fiscal shocks while retaining its stable outlook and triple-A rating have deteriorated over the past year due to weak growth, and the country faces "formidable and rising challenges," Moody's said. "Since the last annual report, the amount of headroom for Britain has declined," Moody's analyst Sarah Carlson told Reuters after the publication of the ratings agency's end-of-year assessment of Britain's ability to repay its debts.
Doubts Arise In Euro's Birthplace (WSJ)
Now, as financial anguish in the euro zone reveals flaws in the monetary union, the crisis is exposing deep divisions not only among Europe's national leaders but even within the consensus-minded and long-supportive Netherlands. A unified pro-euro position projected for years by the Dutch political and economic establishment has begun to crack. "We could look at the euro as a failed project," said Hans Hoogervorst, a former Dutch finance minister and current chairman of the International Accounting Standards Board, on Dutch television last week. The Netherlands' current finance minister said much the same a few days earlier. The Central Planning Bureau, the Dutch equivalent of the U.S. Congressional Budget Office, last month said the creation of a monetary union had been about politics, and its economic gains have been "minimal."
Fortress CEO to Take Leave in Wake of SEC Suit (Reuters)

To Attract Potential Investors, Mets Add Perks To The Deal (NYT)
But for those perhaps uncertain over whether to part with their millions, the owners have listed some less obvious perks that would come with a share of the Queens ball club. Access to Mr. Met, the team mascot, although the degree of access is not entirely spelled out. It definitely means you, as a part-owner, can schmooze with Mr. Met at Citi Field. It's less clear whether you could get him to come to your child's birthday party without a fee. A formal business card, complete with the prominent designation: "Owner." And if you are a wealthy doctor, commodities trader or real estate mogul who wants to try to swat the ball over the newly pulled-in outfield fences at Citi Field on a Mets day off, you are entitled to attend what appears to be an exclusive kind of fantasy camp: "Owners' workout day." These benefits of ownership are laid out in a term sheet given by the Mets' owners to prospective partners. The document, drawn up by the club's investment banker and obtained by The New York Times, runs to three pages.
Fed Spells Out Rules For New Banks (WSJ)
The biggest U.S. banks will be required to limit their financial ties to one another under new proposed rules aimed at preventing the collapse of one big institution from triggering a larger, cascading crisis. The net credit exposures between any two of the nation's six largest financial firms, including J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., would be limited to 10% of a company's regulatory capital, under a proposed package of regulations released by the Federal Reserve on Tuesday. Most other firms covered by the rule would be subject to a 25% limit, as required by the Dodd-Frank financial-overhaul law. The new 10% limit for the biggest firms was unanticipated by the industry and has the potential to scale back the capital-markets businesses of large institutions, analysts said. "Is this a back-door way to shrink those banks?" said Paul Miller of FBR Capital Markets.
MF Global Transfer Draws Scrutiny (WSJ)
Investigators on the hunt for missing customer money from MF Global Holdings Ltd. are scrutinizing about $200 million moved to a company account at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. three days before the securities firm filed for bankruptcy protection, according to people familiar with the matter. The transfer has drawn interest from investigators partly because J.P. Morgan asked MF Global in a letter the following day to attest that the Oct. 28 shift of funds didn't violate regulations designed to protect customer money. The letter suggests that officials at J.P. Morgan, which cleared some trades for MF Global, had become concerned that the securities firm might have gotten the money by dipping into customer funds. Commodity Futures Trading Commission rules prohibit futures brokers from using customer money for their own trading purposes.
Hedge-Fund Refuge Sought by Traders as Banks Cut 233,000 Jobs (Bloomberg)
Traders in energy, metals and agriculture are opening or joining hedge funds after leaving financial firms that cut more than 233,000 jobs this year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Departures of commodity traders from banks probably rose 10 percent this year, according to Commodity Search Partners Ltd., a Brighton, England-based recruiter. Pay for that group will drop 24 percent on average, estimates Options Group, a New York- based recruitment firm.
Mark Mobius Sees End to Euro Crisis by June (CNBC)
FYI: "The European crisis isn't as deep and terrible as people think," he was quoted as saying by Valor. "Nations there are in a process of negotiations and that takes time." Mobius, the Franklin Templeton executive who pioneered emerging markets investing, expects Europe's debt crisis to be resolved in the middle of next year, sparking a rise in global bourses, Brazilian newspaper Valor Economico reported on Wednesday.
N. Korea Military, Uncle to Share Power With Kim's Heir (Reuters)
North Korea will shift to collective rule from a strongman dictatorship after last week's death of Kim Jong il, although his untested young son will be at the head of the ruling coterie, a source with close ties to Pyongyang and Beijing said. The source added that the military, which is trying to develop a nuclear arsenal, has pledged allegiance to the untested Kim Jong un, who takes over the family dynasty that has ruled North Korea since it was founded after World War Two.
$88 Million Apartment Under Her Tree (NYP)
The 22-year-old daughter of a Russian billionaire received an $88 million condo from her filthy-rich dad — who dropped a fortune on what Realtors said was the most expensive-ever residential transaction in Manhattan. A company associated with Ekaterina Rybolovleva, the daughter of Russian billionaire Dmitriy Rybolovlev, signed a contract to purchase the 6,744-square-foot, full-floor condominium at 15 Central Park West, from Sandy Weill. "Ms. Rybolovleva is currently studying at a US university," representatives for the blond heiress and equestrian said in a statement. "She plans to stay in the apartment when visiting New York. Ms. Rybolovleva was born in Russia, is a resident of Monaco and has resided in Monaco and Switzerland for the past 15 years."

Feds spell out rules for banks…until the public demands another knee-jerk reaction to a crisis.
22 and having a $88M apartment IS the NKI.
Cue Noriel Roubini furiously checking his 2012 Spring semester class list looking for the last name Rybolovleva.
Bess – please send Matt to cover Occupy Darien today. I want to see if he can create a chart or graph that captures the event.
There is a moment of sheer panic when I realize that Ekaterina's apartment overlooks the park… and is obviously more expensive than mine.
Specially if you kill some comrades to get the money.
I am so jealous.
That old geezer Soros wouldn't even get me an apartment at a tenth of what the Russian paid for Sandy Weill's old pad.
God damn rain just dripped down the back of my neck. Now my neck is wet.
NY Post really dropped the ball. In an article about a Russian billionaire's 22 year old daughter…they show a picture of the billionaire
Anyway, she's no Ecclestone, but I'd hit it for $88 MM

"Access to purchase tickets to Postseason games"
At least the 20mm is all you will have to spend
In Russia, NKI involves actual killing
"…owners are not required, or expected, to attend any Mets game" would definitely attract more investors.
Does she need property insurance?
Russian hooker.
They've probably never been egged with free range organic eggs from Whole Foods by people w/ pheasants on their pants, but there's a first time for everything I suppose…
Second word is redundant.
Occupy Darien, sponsored by Upper Crust Bagels…
Socks on, I'd hit it.
Soap party!
a better use of daddy's money would be a nose job

I am the NKI.
The Mets suck
I'd hit it.

No Cyril, when they're dead, they're just hookers!
I have a card that says "Mets Owner", too.

I bet Ekaterina never goes on Harry Winston shopping sprees. I'm sure she treats waiters with respect. And I guarantee she won't develop ranging coke habit by 25.
Rybolovleva sucks donkey balls (for $300).
Quite a loony number for a bunch of drunken reprobates!
I wonder if this Blind Item is her? Maybe she bought herself a $50k housewarming gift:
http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2011/12/todays-…#2 – What do you do if you are the daughter of a billionaire and have a thing for a jackass of a reality star who is not married but close enough? You offer him $50K to spend the night and the only thing he says is that it needs to be cash so the family does not find out.
My god the comments in that linked article are just too good to be true. Could she be convinced to start commenting here?
It would be more appropriate if Mr. Mobius did not see an end to the European crisis and thought the matter was one-sided.
Good luck with that, Nouriel – Russian heiresses only take classes at the New York Institute for Designing Pretty, Sparkly, Expensive Things.
Man, that Marge Rague story is saucy!
Ranging from coke to other drugs?
Ha probably
I'm no donkey, but I'm a fan of their work.
Let's compare square footage bitch.

Given that you'll have access to Mr. Met, the question is does Mr. Met?

Hello, I recently "inherited" a dwarf (?) Mango when I purchased my house in San Diego. It is probably several decades old (~6in diameter trunk), about 4 ft tall and maybe 7 ft in diameter. It had been neglected for a few years and I have been able to revive it from the advice I've read on this forum. Now I've got lots of little mangos, crossing my fingers about the fruit drop, expecting probably next year to have little or no fruit since there are so many this year. I have a question about pruning. I've watched all the mango videos from: Both of which are extemely informative about growing mango (and lychee). However, they recommend tipping when the fruit is harvested, in Florida. This is supposed to allow for enough time for the new growth to harden off. But in southern California, mangos aren't supposed to be ready for picking until Sept or Oct. So do we still tip them when we pick them? If not, when should I tip them? Should I tip them at all? Right now, there are a few branches without fruit, should I tip those now to encourage fruiting for next year? Any additional SoCal specific advice would be greatly appreciated. Since I inherited this tree, I have no idea if this is a dwarf or just the typical SoCal stature. Anyone care to hazard a guess on the cultivar of this mango? I attached a few pictures below of the habit, inflorescence, and current small fruit which are purplish in color. April 8: |
Follow-Up Postings:
That looks a whole lot like a Manila Mango that was frozen back in 2007. Good luck,they are tough plants and yours seems to have gotten past the recovery phase and is now growing normally. I would advise...thin the fruit severely or you might tax the plants resources. |
- Posted by kaisersoze 10a (My Page) on Wed, Jun 19, 13 at 14:27
I thought they drop fruit on their own and thinning isn't required. Or is it going to tax the plant because it is still growing and recovering? What makes you say freeze damage? Is it the white patches on the leaves that are dry, almost like a burn (mostly affecting south facing leaves)? Are you saying this tree was much bigger and much of it died in 2007 due to freeze (and subsequently pruned)? Sorry for all the questions, just curious to learn more about the tree Here's a closeup of the trunk and some scaffolds: |
I just wanted to say that is SO cool about your Mango tree, that definitely one of the shortest (dwarf)mango tree with such a big trunk size I've seen, Congrats on the blooms and small fruits. I do live in FL, so keep that in mind. As far as tipping it...it is best to prune/tip them right after harvest. But since you live in CA and your fruits ripen much later than ours... I would probably forget about tipping them this year. If you wanted to tip the ones without any blooms/fruits that should be okay ( I have done this before) and have not seen any negative affects...but its totally your call. If for some reason you lose all your fruits, you will be able to prune them then...as long as you do it by late August... I did however tip my Keitt mango right after harvest last summer (mine didn't ripen till late Sept.) and I noticed they did NOT bloom or fruit this year...I'm guessing its because I tipped/pruned it so late in the year and it didn't have a chance to flush, harden off and get the necessary "rest/dormant" state before January which is when we usually get blooms...so if it were me I wouldn't prune them this year...just my 2 cents,lol... As far as thinning out the fruits...Mother nature is usually pretty good at doing that on its own. The tree is pretty good at knowing how much it can hold and the weak ones will fall off... I wouldn't take off too many, because there is NO guarantee the ones you "leave on" will not fall on its own... Thanks for the pictures and good luck on your nice dwarf mango...Please let us know if you find out the variety? |
Hmmmmm....advice is always tough with a plant like this. If it is a Manila, it will become (at least mine has ) an alternate bearing tree, but you won't know anything like that till next year. But my Manila does not have the bright reddish leaves that your's has on its new growth. My manila has more brownish-red new growth. The only plant I have with very red leaves like that is my Glenn. You would be lucky if it's one of those! Keep in mind, I'm out in Palm Springs so my severe heat probably creates some differences in mango behavior, but I would tend to NOT tip/prune your tree if it's some height and size you want with it. Our growing season after the mangoes are picked is often not a long period of time, and since you already seem to have a nice scaffold on this tree, I'd just feed it some diluted liquid fertilizer every couple of weeks, after the fruits are picked, and up until say the middle of November - I think that would be decent general advice. Nancy, (Puglvr) may correct me on this, but I've heard the advice for fertilizing is to not do it during flowering and fruiting time, but I must say, I actually do it from March till November 15th or so. I only know, at least with the small, new mango plants, that I've gotten more growth by fertilizing this way than fertilizing outside this time period. But again, I think it's because our growing season just seems a good 24-30% shorter than Florida's. I mean Stan might be right - it could have suffered a die-back from some past cold weather....or.....a lack of water will also make it grow slowly....Hopefully, some mature fruit might give it a better chance at ID'ing it..... So cool you inherited this tree, kaiser. I would also, in this case, tend to agree with Puglvr about not pulling off any baby mangoes. Most times it will drop the fruit it can't carry to maturity, though there are trees that probably hold too many and really shut down their growth for a calendar year. That happened with my Pickering last year, so I learned with that one that I have to be careful what I let stay on the tree. This year they all got yanked and sure enough, i"ve gotten one growth flush so far on this dwarf tree. Keep us posted with the pics.....exciting, eh??? mangomutt |
They will shed..shed hundreds of protofruits,but still hang on to a few dozen- more then whats healthy for the tree going into next winter,frost or no. California rules are different. Yes,the big trunk,short height is a giveaway to significant freeze damage at one time. It could be by some reason nobody can know..like it was transplanted years ago. Your pics show that its not getting enough water or fertilizer. It would help too,if you enlarged the area that mulched..and deeper too. In winter that can be raked by to let the sun in,if it hasn't rotted away by then. |
Here's a Video that might be of interest...I had NO idea just how low the percentage of the blooms/fruits actually make it to maturity...really very Sad :o( |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mango Fruit Set Percentage...You Tube
There have been posts by Rodney here of true tree sized Mango's in the Los Angeles basin. Those tree's have never seen 32f,I'm sure. And the big cities heat island effect makes for a near subtropical climate with warm summers. San Diego's coast summers remind me of here in the bay area..mid 70's. Any frost damage to a Mango takes years to overcome. And why I was just advising not to push that small tree for maximum yields. When you get that Mango to be a true tree,like in L.A.? Then you can let it do what it wants with fruits. For now,build a healthy plant for the winter..and a few fruit is ok. |

stanofh, I'm about 15 minutes inland from the ocean in San Diego. We get up to the 100's at the peak of summer with rare marine cloud/fog cover, and as low as the high 30's on the coldest winter nights. Mangodog, Puglvr, I'll update with some more pictures as the fruits mature. They can ripen on the tree until some wrinkles appear, right (assuming the pests dont get to them first)? |
They can ripened until they either fall off when you touch the stems..or they are in full color,and sometimes they bleed little drops of water. The older I get,the more I find pushing growth with regular and frequent fertilizing is a winner idea. You NEVER want to burn them,but I think you could do a once a month in summer...as long as you water and feed at half strength. A good Citrus box fertilizer is the most efficient. When its larger,then go the compost route if you want. |
I agree with Stan about fertilizing once a month (lightly) no more than 1/2 strength but NOT while its fruiting or else it will encourage new growths and the fruits "might" drop? If you want to just give it a little boost add a sprinkle (1/4 strength) since the tree looked to have been neglected for many years, it probably would appreciate a bit of nutrients... Once the fruits are picked you might want to give the tree some "Foliar Feeding" something like Dyna Gro (follow their instructions) or Citrus Nutritional Spray by Southern AG...or even an all purpose Fertilizer like Miracle Grow at maybe 1/2 to 3/4 strength mixed with water once a month till early October....Apply in the early evening so the leaves have a chance to dry out before the sun's rays don't sunburn it! Tipping it will encourage those branches that you tip...if they are tipping now you won't need to do anything unless you want to "shape/prune" the tree after the fruits have been picked, but keep in mind that you have a much shorter growing window (like Mangodog) mentioned and pruning it late in the year could hinder your fruits next year...Mango trees need to flush new growths and harden completely and go through a "rest period" before it will bloom in late winter...this takes appx. 3-4 months... I know because I pruned my Keitt tree late October 2012 and it did NOT bloom the winter of 2013 so I had NO fruits this year....this time I made sure I don't prune anything after July. |

Fruitlets starting to drop now: New growth on tips with dropped fruits: Can you identify whats causing the fruit damage and what I can do to prevent further damage? I've seen ants on some branches, but haven't seen any other possible pests. Birds doing this? Time for bird netting? |
I never had a bird problem with any Mango. You might have had a curious Mockingbird take a taste..and then left it alone. The shrivel is part mango shedding excess fruit and part,you're not watering enough. It will only do better on more water. Its been a warm to hot spring and summer in California,and what usually works at 75f needs to be doubled right now for 90+. |
In FL I have birds, raccoons, squirrels, possums and gosh knows what else eat my Mango fruits and Lychee also...they even eat the green ones :o( To be fair to the birds though...they only eat mine when they are ripe or very close to being ripe...only the bigger Critters eat my mango Green!! I have had those injuries/damage to my mangoes as well, animals and or fungus have been the culprit... Its VERY frustrating all that hard work only to be eaten/chewed up by Critters!!! Green mangoes being eaten attacked!! Good luck with your mango |
They've even chewed right through the aluminum window screening I used to wrap them up...BTW this works great for the birds...but NOT the other Critters/Animals :o( |
BTW, once the mango fruitlets fall of and there are no mango fruits left on that long leafless brown stem where the mango hangs from you can either break that long stem off or trim it with some clippers (they will eventually fall off anyways) I usually do this to promote new growths on that branch...only do this to the long stem that is not holding any fruits... |
MAngo ID -- I will have a shot here: not a Manila yellow fruit, but I think it's a red/green fruit variety; the pointed leaves exclude it from Valencia Pride; perhaps it's a Kent. Sapote |
Its the typical Laverne Manila Mango..hardy plants that just need some help when winters hit 32f. They are about the same as the Mexican grown Atulfo yellow Mango's or the Champagne yellows. Home grown? maybe even sweeter,smoother flesh. |
Btw Kaiser, I have a Mango also...and a few days ago threw some Lilly Miller fertilizer on it I had. Its done a great job of deepening the green in the leaves. What I notice about Lilly Miller or EB (?) Stone fertilizers that are in boxes? They have that familiar guano type aroma!. You don't get that in pellets. They might have iron that's very soluble too. And keep us updated on that Mango of yours. |

Update on my inherited backyard mango: New leaves have really flushed out a lot over the last 2 months without any pruning on my part. Here are pics from May 22 and today Sept 22 showing the difference. May 22: Sept 22: I've got about 20 fruit maturing, here is the largest in the palm of my hand: The remaining are about half this size. I removed about 20 fruit last month when I noticed them split open. When can I start harvesting in San Diego? In terms of water fertilzer and time, they will be the most expensive mangos I'll ever eat! Do the updated pictures help with ID yet, or need to wait for the cut up ripe fruit? |
Hey! That's not a Manila. Looks like a Tommy Atkins. You did a great job,the tree came back strong. As far as ready? They come off in your hand with a light tug. Congrats! |
- Posted by kaisersoze 10a (My Page) on Mon, Sep 23, 13 at 1:15
Oh no, not the dreaded Tommy Atkins! I hope it doesn't turn out as fibrous and bland tasting as everyone seems to say it is... |
Ah,don't go by that. Fresh off the tree,and picked as sweet as it can get makes a huge difference then a store bought TA picked when it was green. And - fiber is good for you. Its why I eat oranges not just drink OJ. |
Hard to be sure? It might be difficult to guess, there are just SO many different varieties out there...and if its a seedling even harder to know. The fruit itself looks similar to my Keitt...but the pretty colors on your new leaves and its growth habit is not that of a Keitt tree, here's a picture of my Keitt from 2012. Looks similar to yours, but again I'm sure there are many fruits that look similar visually... If there's fiber, there's a pretty good chance its a Tommy Atkins, but I believe there's a lot more red on a TA.. Below on the bottom of the screen is a link from TFN a picture of a Kent, the fruit looks similar to yours as well... I hope its fiberless, sweet and delicious, that's the important thing!! I have to say your tree is looking amazing!! Great comeback, you did a great job. BTW, home grown Tommy Atkins taste a lot better than the ones from the store which are picked when they are green...there was a large tree in my old neighborhood that produced some of the best tasting TA I've ever tasted! Tree ripened TA taste much better...not in my top 5 but way better than the store bought ones any day! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Kent mango...
Its still up in the air as to what is is exactly,so don't go chopping it down or even be disappointed. A healthy Mango in California is a good thing to have,still a rare thing. They are not on every corner like Avocados or Citrus. |
could it be an Edward? Sapote |
Well,how did they taste? Inquiring minds need to know. |
- Posted by kaisersoze 10a - San Diego (My Page) on Sat, Oct 12, 13 at 19:56
I dunno what happened, I only found around 8 fruit on the tree today and they were all hard small peach sized mangos. I don't know if someone or an animal snatched the bigger fruit. The one pictured in my hand split open shortly after the photo was taken, what a waste... Hopefully some of the remaining will ripen or get larger soon |
Sounds like people. I doubt Raccoons could haul them they away with no trail of something left- like a broken branch. Sometimes yard maintenance ( a neighbors) people who love a good Mango are out at 5am! You didn't try the one that split open? That's just a sign of ripeness. |

Flower praises club volunteers
Andy Flower is delighted that his former side Heywood have been chosen as a showcase club for NatWest CricketForce which takes place this weekend.
The England team director spent two happy seasons at the Lancashire team who are one of 1,930 clubs - a record - that have registered for this year's grassroots initiative.
"It's great that NatWest CricketForce are working with Heywood this year," Flower told ecb.co.uk. "Heywood is close to my heart. I spent two great seasons there. Well, they were great for me anyway."
NatWest CricketForce is a volunteering initiative aimed at rejuvenating cricket facilities throughout England and Wales. Cricket supporters, their friends and families are encouraged to give back to their local cricket club by volunteering to undertake renovation work in club houses and grounds before the season starts.
Heywood are one of three showcase clubs for this year's NatWest CricketForce - Merstham in Surrey and west Yorkshire club Copley are the other two.
"It's great to put back into the community," added Flower. "Those clubs like Heywood are great for the community. They are a focal point and give youngsters a healthy outlet for their energies and Heywood embodies that type of spirit.
"The sort of people that are there, three or four days a week, doing the right thing by the club, Heywood is abundant in that regard. People like the Fares and the Crosses and many other people I could name, families associated with the club, are absolutely vital to their success.
"I think Dave Fare enjoyed that he had me putting up fences in the snow in my first week. That was an experience to remember."
England fast bowler Chris Tremlett will pick up a paintbrush at Merstham on Friday, which signals the start of this year's NatWest CricketForce, before the event moves to Heywood on Saturday and then Copley 24 hours later.
"It's great seeing the passion of this sort of work go on at clubs," said Flower. "People like Alastair Cook have put their painting gear on and got down and dirty with people at their various clubs in Essex. I know the boys at Heywood will be doing the same."
Flower added that the hard work undertaken at grassroots level does filter up into the professional game - something which benefits him in his role.
"I have always maintained that you can only have a good international side if your base is wide and strong," he said.
"We are very lucky in England that we do have this base of club cricket and cricketers that are so passionate about the game. From such a wide and motivated base we can get the crop of the best cricketers together and make a very competitive and hopefully great international side."

Leona is happy with weight-gain!
|with 0 comments
|Leona Lewis is allegedly happier now that she is a "bit bigger".
The 27-year-old singer has reportedly gained almost a stone (over 5 kilograms) in weight recently, following failed diet attempts. Rather than fret over her fuller figure, The X Factor UK winner is said to be embracing her new-found curves.
"[Leona is a] happy size 14," a friend revealed to British magazine Closer. "Leona says she'd rather enjoy her life and be a bit bigger than be skinny and miserable. She has no intention of dieting."
The 5ft 8 (1,73 metres) vegan star has fluctuated between a UK size 10 and 14 since she first found fame in 2006. Leona has also juggled living in two locations over the past years, alternating between London and Los Angeles. While she works out regularly in America, insiders explained her UK exercise routine is not as strict.
Leona apparently prefers to cosy up in the British chill, eating, rather than getting out and about as she does in LA.
"Leona's the first to admit her weight goes up and down by a stone [over 5 kgs]," the friend continued. "She loves to comfort-eat in the winter and can't resist vegan pizza."

A Reader Asks: If Mother-in-Law Chain Smokes, Will Exposure Harm My Baby?
"They are also planning to visit us next month and while my MIL doesn't smoke in the house, it still bothers me when she comes in from outside, smelling like a cigarette, and picks up the baby. How do I deal with THAT?"
This is not one of those questions of etiquette where there are shades of gray — oh, oh, I'm afraid of hurting my in laws' feelings, they're so sensitive — but rather a serious health issue.
It's their house, but staying there could kill you. Secondhand smoke causes cancer and a long list of other health problems. After you point your husband and in-laws to the page on the American Cancer Society's website that explains this in no uncertain terms, they will not want your baby to be exposed to it. What grandmother would want to increase her grandchild's risk of sudden infant death syndrome, respiratory infections and more severe asthma? Stay in a hotel.
A slightly trickier issue is dealing with the smoking odors on your mother-in-law's body. While there is no conclusive evidence that smoking odors — sometimes called thirdhand smoke — cause cancer, research is underway. Which means it's clearly a worry that health experts have. But telling your mother-in-law, "You smell awful and so does the baby after you hold her" isn't the most tactful approach. Instead, explain to your husband that research already has shown that smoking byproduct particles on clothes and smokers' bodies can form cancer-causing compounds that may be absorbed through skin or breathed in by others. Ask him to explain this nicely to his mother. He can start by telling her how good she is with the baby and how it's important to both of you for the baby to spend as much time with her grandmother as possible. At that point, maybe her grandmotherly instincts will kick in, and she'll offer to bathe and wear smoke-free clothing before handling the baby. If not, her son should suggest it (nicely).
Is there another solution? Do you have a relative who smokes? If so, how did you deal with the situation?
