This lawyer is the worse lawyer I have ever come across. I hire him to help me with my immigration issue, he took my money and did not file a piece of paper for me. He has no knowledge of America immigration law and he is also a liar and a thief. When the first money runs out he came up with a another scheme knowing the fact that I did not have any papers he swingle more money from me. I thought that he going to help me because I trust him. He had me wrote out post dated check to him and cash most of them with not even move a finger to help me. When I asked to refund back the money that he took from my bank account he laugh at me and said "no" what ever you do please don't hire him because you will get burn just like me.

de Waard, a Dutch Mennonite family originating on a polder near Pieterzijl in the province of Groningen, called the Waarden, from which this family has derived its name. Until c1850 they were nearly all farmers. Many of them served as deacons in the Pieterzijl (since 1892 called Grijpskerk) Mennonite congregation, and Jacob Symons, a farmer at Ruigewaard, 1726-d. c1760 was a lay preacher of this congregation, as was his son Jan Jacobs de Waard, who served 1753-d. c1790.
Sytze Klazes de Waard (Pieterzijl, 1796-Haarlem, 1856), married to W. J. Krythe, was trained for the ministry at the Amsterdam Mennonite Seminary and served at Mensingeweer 1821-26, Akkrum 1826-28, and Haarlem 1828-d.56. He published, as far as is known, only three addresses on religious subjects held before the Haarlem Department of the Maat-schappij tot Nut van't Algemeen.
His grandson Sytze Klazes de Waard (Groningen, 1849-Alassio, Italy, 1915), married to M. E. Backer, at first studied mathematics and physics, thereupon literature and theology, and after finishing his study at the Amsterdam seminary served as Mennonite pastor at Westzaan-Zuid 1879-83, The Hague 1883-94, and Utrecht 1894-1911, in which year he retired because of poor health. He published the dedication sermon, Tempelwijding (The Hague, 1886, reprinted 1886), delivered in September 1886, when the young congregation of The Hague acquired a meetinghouse. He also published a volume of sermons, Overdenkingen (Amsterdam, 1915), and a number of sermons preached on special occasions.
Another Sytze Klazes de Waard (1821-1911) obtained his M.D. degree at Groningen and practiced medicine for more than fifty years in his home town. He was for about the same time a treasurer of the Pieterzijl (Grijpskerk) congregation and published a booklet on the Mennonite history of the area in which he lived: Aanteekeningen uit de Geschiedenis der Doopsgezinden in 't Westerkwartier (Groningen, 1901), which contains many particulars on the De Waard family.

"The nation's budget is a statement about our priorities and our values. With the country at a crossroad, we have to make very difficult choices about how we reduce our deficit and bring down our debt. I voted against the Republican budget because it makes the wrong choices, and fails to sufficiently reduce the deficit, grow the economy or create jobs. "The bill that passed the House today would end Medicare as we know it and replace it with a voucher system which could force seniors to negotiate with insurance companies and pay more money out of their pockets. The GOP budget also turns Medicaid into a block grant program, placing an even greater burden on state and local governments without reducing costs. Instead of saddling America's seniors with higher health care costs and threatening their way of life, we need to find solutions that preserve these vital programs. "If we are going to solve our fiscal challenges, we must get past the rigid ideological differences that have prevented us from finding effective bipartisan solutions that grow our economy and reduce government spending. I am committed to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to find ways to strengthen our economy, invest in our future, and responsibly reduce our debt."

Stockbroker Susan Powell Missing in Utah; Husband's Actions Suspicious
Josh Powell claims he suddenly decided to take his sons -- ages 1 and 4 -- camping at 12:30 a.m. in frigid temps and snow |
That was five days ago. No one's seen Susan since.
She failed to show up for her job as a Wells Fargo stockbroker on Monday morning. Her purse, cell phone, and car were all left at home.
At first, police thought the entire family was missing until Josh arrived home with the kids -- ages 1 and 4 -- on Tuesday. He claimed the reasons for the last minute camping trip was test out a new generator. But according to friends, the couple had been having marital problems.
Susan Powell's keys, cell phone and car were still at the house |
had problems for a very long time and that's very obvious when you
spend a short time with them, you can tell ... they're roommates," says
friend Tim Peterson.
Josh told him it was normal for him to take the kids on impromptu camping trips in the middle of the night. But when Peterson talked to him, Josh showed more interest in discussing himself than his missing wife.
told him if my wife came up missing, I'd be going nuts, I'd be out
looking for her. What do you think?" Peterson said. "He's like, the
cops are handling all that... He
was talking about his kids, about his clothes, about his sleep. He was
talking about his van that police took. He
was talking about his house -- talking like, I wonder if my bird is
dead." Susan
Powell is described as 5-foot-4, 130 pounds, with long, brown hair and blue
Susan and husband Josh had marital problems. They filed for bankruptcy in 2007. |
UPDATE: Police say husband Joshua Powell isn't a suspect, but his version of the past week seems awfully suspicious. Both friends and family say it wasn't unusual for Josh to take off at a moment's notice with the kids, but his version of events leaves something to be desired. He claims he didn't show up for work Monday because he thought it was Sunday. He allegedly took the kids camping about 120 miles from their home. Police searched the area and found no sign of Susan, but fresh snow covered any indication that someone had been camping there. Still, it's hard to believe a dad would take kids ages 1 and 4 camping in the middle of the night, especially when temperatures are falling to below zero in the area. And since Josh claims he wanted to test out a new generator, he doesn't sound like the kind of camper who's into roughing it in bad conditions. Police nonetheless say he's not a suspect, though they expect to interview him further. Friends say the couple was having marital problems. Two years ago, they filed for bankruptcy in what appears to be a dual case of overspending and unemployment. Both have been periodically jobless in the past. And it seems money woes forced Susan to give up being a fulltime homemaker and go back to work. She was a stay-at-home mom when they filed for bankruptcy in 2007. At that time, Josh's profession was listed as realtor. But they owed more than $200,000 in credit card, furniture, student loan and other debts, suggesting they were living well beyond their means for such a young family with two small kids.
Susan's dad says Josh Powell has a tendency to lose track of time and act on the spur of the moment |
UPDATE II: Susan Powell's father doesn't think Josh Powell is capable of hurting his daughter, though you can tell he's conflicted. "I don't see him as capable
of harming her," Charles Cox told the Salt Lake Tribune. "I'm
kind of concerned that all the focus is on him." He said it wasn't unusual for his daughter to go to bed at that time, nor was it particularly weird that Josh took the boys camping in the middle of the night. Cox says his son-in-law has a habit of losing track of time and acting on the spur of the moment. But asked point-blank if he believes Josh's story, and he only responded, "I don't know." "Yeah, it may sound weird to a lot of people but let's not stop
looking for my daughter," he said. "The more time spent on him, the
less time there is looking at other possibilities, and there certainly
are other possibilities."
Why does Susan Powell's broke husband need a big-money defense lawyer if he's innocent? |
That's the latest on the husband whose behavior doesn't match how a man would normally behave if his wife was missing for a week. According to the TV network, Josh didn't show up for a scheduled interview with West Valley City detectives yesterday. Instead, he hired prominent attorney Scott Williams, who recently represented Elizabeth Smart kidnapper Wanda Barzee.
Why a broke father of two, who filed for bankruptcy just two years ago, would need a high-priced lawyer is anyone's guess. Aside from getting people off, these guys' greatest skill is getting in your pocket. And why does an innocent man need a lawyer in the first place?
Then again, it's not unusual for big-name lawyers to take high-profile cases for free. It could be that Williams is simply in it for the advertising and ego feed.
But police are also saying that someone tried to clean up the house around the time Susan disappeared. When they first thought the entire family was missing, cops broke into the Powell home fearing carbon monoxide poisoning.
They found two fans blowing on a wet spot on the living room carpet. This could have been just a spill created by one of the kids, which wouldn't be unusual. It also could mean someone didn't want them finding something.
Meanwhile, neighbor Wendy Trujillo told ABC that forensic workers have been pulling evidence from the house all week, including bags and boxes and at least one computer.
Susan Powell and her husband Josh at a church event not long before she disappeared |
West Valley City Police Capt. Tom McLachlan says Josh didn't show up for an interview with detectives yesterday on the advice of his lawyer. That seems more like the action of a guy trying to protect himself rather than find his missing wife.
"We are very disappointed in that because he is not a suspect and this delays the investigation -- it slows things down," McLachlan told the Associated Press. "His stated purpose is he wants to find Susan and that is also our stated purpose on this missing persons case and this complicates the issue."
UPDATE V: Josh Powell has officially been declared a person of interest for his lack of cooperation.
Yes, most of these kinds of labels are meaningless, but it shows police frustration.Thus far they seemed to be treating him with kid gloves, at least in the press, despite his goofy camping story. But it's never a good sign when you're wife's gone missing and you show little interest in helping police find her.
As Assistant Chief Craig Black told Fox News, "We've been interested in what Josh has had to say all along... I wouldn't characterize him (Joshua) as being cooperative."
UPDATE VI: Josh Powell refuses to answer questions about where he went camping the night his wife disappeared.
The Pony Express Trail, where Josh supposedly took his kids camping, is 2,000 miles long, making it nearly impossible for police to search, especially since it's been covered with new snow since the trip. But police say Josh won't say exactly where they camped, and won't accompany cops there to show them.
"It could take years, if ever, to identify this campsite," Assistant Chief Craig Black told The Salt Lake Tribune. "We would really like to go on a two-hour road trip with Josh."
But apparently Josh has become less cooperative as the search wears on. On Tuesday, he would only answer basic, general questions about his wife -- like the kind of scars Susan may have -- refusing to get into anything specific. Police have gotten a court order to get samples of his DNA.
"He answered questions that would help us if we found Susan," Black said. "He did not answer any questions that would help us find Susan."
"We'd appreciate some more detailed cooperation from him," Black told the Deseret News. "There's a lot of questions concerning his camping trip, what Susan's state of mind was on Sunday, has she ever talked to him privately about leaving. Those are areas Josh could help with. We're not marriage counselors. If she wants to be away, that's her business. We just would like to have information that helps us find her."Police say Josh Powell is no longer even pretending to be helpful in the search to find his missing wife |
At a news conference yesterday, family spokeswoman Shelby Gifford says they aren't surprised Josh has been named a person of interest, "given the events and his reactions to them in the past week."
Friends and family say she's not the kind of woman who would ever leave without her kids. Her cellphone, credit cards and car keys were all left behind, and there was no sign of forced entry at her home.
Gifford also says Susan would never let her kids go camping in sub-freezing temperatures: "We know that Susan is an excellent mother and would not have tolerated her children being taken out of the home after midnight to go camping in dangerously cold conditions."
And in an interview on NBC this morning, Susan's father Chuck Cox expressed similar doubts: "We have been trying to be supportive of Josh. We want Josh to come forward, please, and tell us the rest of the story. Tell us a credible story, please."
Meanwhile, police continue to say that Josh is avoiding all efforts to help find his wife. "He is not allowing us the opportunity to interview him at length in order to verify his statements and also to get more specifics," says Captain Tom McLachlan. "His statements are absolutely vague."
UPDATE VIII: In the middle of a search for his missing wife, Josh Powell bolts for Washington without telling police.
Say your wife is missing and you desperately want to find her. She's the mother of your children, after all. So would you A) stay in Utah to do anything you can to help police find her, or B) take off for Washington without bothering to tell the cops?
Most people would answer A. But if you answered B, you're Josh Powell.
Police say they learned from neighbors that he left for his father's home in Washington over the weekend without bothering to tell them. Reporters caught up with him at his dad's house in a gated community in Puyallup.
"The whole thing has just turned into a vilification of Josh and it will turn into a vilification of me, my ex-wife and my other kids," father Steven Powell told the Salt Lake Tribune, before asking reporters to leave.
A friend says Josh wanted to escape the scrutiny he's been under in suburban Salt Lake City, which is understandable. Then again, if you really want to find your wife, wouldn't you man up enough to withstand it?
Friends also say he's been fired from his job as a computer programmer for a trucking company. Either his supervisors are huge dicks, or they simply don't want a guy who kills his wife being around their other employees.
Since the Powells have had financial troubles since a 2007 bankruptcy, friends say he'll likely lose his house.
Rachel Marini says there was "a lot of fighting and belittling on his part." |
In an interview with NBC, friend Rachel Marini said Susan complained that her husband Josh had become more controlling in the past several years after the family moved from Washington to Utah and away from her relatives.
"Josh became more and more controlling, and it was harder for her to remain herself, or remain the happy person that she was," Marini told NBC. "Josh was very controlling. He controlled everything in their marriage, from the money that Susan spent to what groceries she could buy to what she could eat. There was a lot of fighting and belittling on his part. It just reduced her to a very unhappy and different person than she was when he first met her."
Susan told Marini she was unhappy and talked about divorce. But like almost everyone who knows her, she says Susan would never leave without her children. Marini also says there's no way Susan would have let Josh take her kids camping on a freezing Sunday night.
"I do know that if he had told Susan, 'Hey, I'm going
to take the boys out camping, and it's 10 degrees out, it's a blizzard,
and we have school the next day,' she would have said, 'No way,' and
she wouldn't have let him."
UPDATE X: Josh Powell rented a car two days after Susan went missing, driving hundreds of miles in a 24 hour period.
It's once again very strange behavior for a man who would presumably be in the midst of a desperate search to find his wife. What? Did he suddenly have a series of long-distance errands that just had to be knocked off?
But since Josh isn't talking, and the car didn't have a GPS, police are at a loss about where he traveled that day.
UPDATE XI: As far back as the summer of 2008, Susan Powell was expressing fear of her husband in emails to friends.
Friends have turned over the emails she sent that summer, when her marriage was at its worst and Susan appeared to fear her husband. In one, she worried that Josh might kidnap her children, file for divorce, or worse.
She also said she'd set up her own bank account in case Josh tried to take all her money, and was preparing for a place to stay with her kids if she left. She further decided to write an informal will.
More chilling was a note a coworker found on Susan's desk: "She
had mentioned about writing something so that no one would ever think
she committed suicide," the friend told the Deseret News. "She said it would be so her boys would know that
she would never kill herself, because she would never leave her boys
Friends also say police have confiscated a notebook she kept at Wells Fargo chronicling the threats against her.

He took his time to welcome us and show and explain us everything in and around the apt/neighborhood including tips for New Years Eve etc..

The nice furnished apartment was cozy and clean yet more lights in the lving room and dining area wouldnt have bothered us..:) Very friendly and helpful host. Totally recommendable!

I wouldn't say they are "going hard" after the code. Both articles merely say that the MPAA is "looking at the code" and that's it. Sure, they have a bad track record, but so far they have made no moves.

The Slik Pro 634 CF 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod is an extremely lightweight, compact support for camcorders and DSLR cameras equipped with standard zooms or telephoto lenses. Maximum height for the tripod is a generous 63.1". Supporting loads up to 7.05 lb, the Pro 634 CF legs fold down to only 18" and weigh a mere 2.05 lb.
The four leg sections are secured and freed by way of twist locks. Because the legs are non-rotating, you can unlock all of a leg's stages at once by twisting the three large rubber grips with one hand. This enables remarkably fast setup of the Pro 634 CF tripod.
The rapid center column is removable as well as reversible for extreme low-angle shooting with an inverted camera.
- Neoprene grips on two legs
- Rubber feet
- Legs can be set and locked at three angles – independently of each other

Two alerts, one from the US Federal Aviation Administration and one from AMD, manufacturer of the Zodiac CH601XL light sport aircraft, came one day too late for an Illinois sport pilot and owner of an experimentally-registered CH601XL.
That pilot, Charles Cummings, died Friday November 6 when his Jabiru-powered Zodiac (N538CJ) broke up in flight and tumbled into a field in Arkansas. According to the NTSB preliminary report, Cummings' was on VFR a cross-country out of the Sharp County Regional Airport (KCVK) at about 0930 that morning and had probably flown to either Flippin or Mountain View, Arkansas as an intermediate destination about 50mi to the southwest. He was likely on his way back to KCVK when the aircraft broke apart near Agnos (about 10mi west of KCVK) at around 1100h that morning.
According to the NTSB, the right wing assembly that landed in a pond marked the beginning of a 600ft-long debris field oriented on an 035deg magnetic heading. Next came the left wing, 200ft further along and the fuselage, empennage, engine and propeller at the end point. "There were no ground scars identified between the right wing and the main wreckage that could be associated with the left or right wing, empennage or fuselage," notes the investigator.
The NTSB has taken a special interest in the CH601XL, in both kit and factory-built form based on a series of fatal accidents, as previously reported in this blog.
The FAA and the manufacturer both took decisive action on Saturday, November 7.
For the FAA's part, it issued a special airworthiness information bulletin revealing the results of an airworthiness investigation it launched on the model in April and informing operators to follow a companion safety directive issued by AMD.
Here's what the FAA found, verbatim, in its review:
Wing structure: FAA analysis shows bending loads used to design the wing structure were non-conservative and the basic static strength of the CH601XL/CH650 does not appear to meet the intent of the ASTM standards for a 600kg (1320 lb) airplane, given the current flight envelope in the Pilot Operating Handbook
Structural Stability: Other aviation authorities have noted the presence of buckling in the wing structure, including in the center section. Such structural instabilities can have a significant effect on static strength and flutter characteristics.
Flutter: Our detailed review of available flutter analysis reports was inconclusive. However, accident photos clearly indicated flutter was present during the in-flight structural failures. The FAA believes flutter may either be a first order root cause of in-flight structural failure or a secondary cause after some initial wing structural deformation or twisting.
Airspeed calibration: Calibration procedures do not appear to adequately account for basic static pressure source error due to the location of the static port. This could lead to potential airspeed indication anomalies, particularly since the CH601XL/650 derivatives can be delivered/built with several different airspeed indicators installed or without an indicator at all. The situation could lead to the potential of operating the airplane above the maneuver speed and/or the design cruise speed, potentially leading to structural failure.
Stick force characteristics: Flight test data from foreign authorities indicates at aft center of gravity the stick forces become very light. The FAA believes this may be a contributing factor in structural failure accidents if coupled with operations over gross weight, at speeds higher than VA, and/or for aircraft loaded improperly. In such conditions, it would be very easy to dynamically load the CH601XL/CH650 wing beyond its design structural load limit.
"In order to prevent potential catastrophic structural failure, we strongly recommend that all owners and operators of Zodiac CH601XL/CH650 comply with actions outlined in a forthcoming Aircraft Manufacturing & Design, LLC (AMD) Safety Directive / Safety Alert to address the above-referenced concerns before further flight," the FAA concluded.
AMD's companion directive calls for several modifications to the aircraft "before further flight" includes installing aileron counterbalance weights and verifying certain aspects of the airspeed indicator.

Five birdies in six holes from the turn swept Sweden's Joakim Haeggman into the clubhouse lead in the Madeira Islands Open BPI - Portugal at Porto Santo Golfe.
In 1993 Haeggman became the first Swede to represent Europe in The Ryder Cup, but he was back at Qualifying School last November and in a bid to reignite his career has already had a top ten finish at the Joburg Open.
Level par after a front nine 35, the 39 year old birdied the tenth and then had four in a row from the 12th to sign for a flawless five under par 66.
"Overall it has been very steady," he said.
"I did some good work in Spain last week with Simon Holmes my golf coach and it has been very satisfying. We all work hard at the game but it nice to be able to bring it out here on the golf course and make a great start to the tournament.
"I hit a great chip on ten from an almost impossible lie to two feet and made that. I pitched it to a foot on 12 and then had a lovely six iron to eight feet on 13 which is obviously a bit of a bonus. I pushed the drive on 14 to be honest but played a nice approach and holed the birdie putt and then played a great pitch to the 15th for birdie and managed to stay steady coming in.
"My game has been pretty good since November when I finished sixth at the Qualifying School. I took that on and finished seventh in Joburg at the start of the year so there have been a few good things going on. It's just that right now you really struggle to get a chance to play. You come off Tour School, get one chance, finish seventh and go to 60th in The Race to Dubai and then you have to watch everyone overtake you - before you know it you are back to being 120th again. So it's really nice to be able to play again and get the feel for it and get back into The Tour."
Haeggman's effort left him two shots clear of Spain's Carl Suneson, England's Andrew Butterfield and Argentinian youngster Estanislao Goya with six players in the clubhouse a shot further back on two under.
Suneson, who represented England at amateur level, carded four birdies on his outward nine and at one point was five under alongside Haeggman, but back to back bogeys on his closing holes set him back.
Butterfield's round contained five birdies and two bogeys, as did 20 year old Goya's.
Italian Costantino Rocca, now 52 and taking a break from The Seniors Tour circuit, was one over along with 2006 winner Jean Van de Velde.
On the course Ireland's Damien McGrane had joined Haeggman on five under through 13 holes, with Niclas Fasth three under after 13.

IT & Network Infrastructure : Microsoft Windows 8: 10 Features That Should Be Included
Windows 7 has been out for less than a year, but already Microsoft is getting to work on its follow-up, Windows 8. In what is thought to be a leaked slide deck from internal Microsoft meetings, the company reportedly plans to make sweeping changes to Windows 8 in an attempt to make the operating system more capable of appealing to changing customer demand. That said, Microsoft has not confirmed that any of the features included in the slide deck are real, so they should be taken with a level of skepticism. This eWEEK slide show takes a look at some features that should make their way into Windows 8.

I am new to this forum but I am a regular on the Alienware Arena forums.
I am an owner of the Alienware m17xR3 model and I am having problems with my video card. It's safe to assess that the video card is dead.
I have purchased a replacement video card (HD 6990m) through eBay and I guess the card I purchased is not compatible with my m17xR3. The seller stated that it worked fine in his m17xR2 though. I even found a friend who has the exact same rig and set-up as me. He let me run all the tests I needed and my final conclusion, again, is that the video card is not compatible with the m17xR3 (sorry for repeating that statement).
Can anyone recommend where I can find a replacement card other than eBay? There are very limited options on eBay and I prefer a brand new video card or someone who had the card working in a m17xR3.
I am aware that the card is over 2-years old and I'm going by a long-shot, but does AMD have any 6990m video cards? Where does the surplus go?

Quarless got Green Bay on the board first, as he had a 4-yard touchdown catch on the team's opening drive in the first quarter. It was his first postseason touchdown in six appearances. He had all of six catches for 54 yards in his first five postseason outings.
The Packers are back in action next Sunday to face Seattle in the NFC title game.
Backup running back James Starks rushed for 19 yards on four carries and caught one of three targets for 10 yards. Andrew Quarless and Davante Adams were each targeted four times but finished with only one grab. Quarless caught one pass for a 7-yard gain, while Adams came down with a 6-yard reception. Jarrett Boykin and Richard Rodgers were each held without a grab.
Fullback John Kuhn had a 4-yard rush and a 6-yard catch.
They'll all visit the Bills in Week 15.
Richard Rodgers had the biggest impact, picking up a 32 yard score in the first quarter. He finished with two catches for 35 yards. Running back James Starks had a bigger impact in the passing game, hauling in two catches for 34 yards. He had one rush, gaining 2 yards. Tight end Andrew Quarless also had two catches, but finished with 17 yards. Jarrett Boykin had one catch, picking up 6 yards.
The group will look for more Week 14 against the Falcons.
Andrew Quarless pulled down two catches for 50 yards. He finished third on the team in receiving. Davante Adams had one catch, gaining 10 yards. John Kuhn also had one catch, picking up 9 yards. Richard Rodgers only had 1 yard, but had the biggest impact of the bunch. In the second quarter, he hauled in a 1 yard touchdown from Aaron Rodgers.
The bunch will look for more Week 13 against the Patriots.

Buy it now: Tom Ford Plum Japonais and Tom Ford London
Tom Ford is a funny brand. I can totally leave the RTW (and truthfully I didn't much care for Tom Ford at Gucci) but the beauty is a whole different beast. Have you been to the store in Sloane Street yet? You must. It's a properly luxurious experience where you'll get fussed and fawned over even if you're just spritzing a tester. And if you're going to buy one of Ford's not-cheap fragrances, then this is the place to go for the full, added-value experience. Continue reading

London Fashion Week SS14: Day 4 highlights
Christopher Kane is a hotter ticket than ever and some suggested there was evidence he's been Kering-ed. Well, there were certainly a lot of entry-level sweatshirts on show, AKA the new product category that's proved a winning formula for Kenzo and Givenchy. Along with the hologram dresses (above, what were they made of?) and revisited Princess Margaret pleat pieces, I was wowed by these epic applique pop art dresses. Just brilliant.

Beauty snippets: Boys in blusher, Marc Cain X Uslu Airlines, the problem with product placement, summer scents, YSL Forever Light Creator
The big beauty buzz for me during the last few weeks has been around men's beauty and grooming. With the news of Tom Ford's imminent grooming line (due this autumn) and Marc Jacobs Beauty's unisex products (coming to a Sephora near you soon), it seems men's luxury makeup is tipping into the mainstream. Pushing things further, Hedi Slimane's models at Saint Laurent wore full-on eyeliner and lipstick for the SS14 shows in Paris. If anyone understands youth culture it's Slimane so I'm keen to see if the cool young indie set take this aesthetic to its natural conclusion. Having grown up on Nick Rhodes, Adam Ant and David Sylvian, I hope they do. Continue reading
Beauty buy: Tom Ford Lip Color Shine
When it comes to Tom Ford, I find myself hopelessly conflicted. The Tom Ford Gucci years did nothing for me (I mean, those ridiculous feathered jeans!), ditto his recent women's RTW. His menswear on the other hand is impeccable, and don't get me started on the fragrances and make-up. Continue reading
London Collections: Men AW13 – from highland heritage to city subcultures
Can you forecast next season's trends based on three days in one city? A little. Two stood out for me at London Collections: Men this week – neither very surprising. Menswear trends are a bit more predictable than womenswear because (as a rule) men like to shop for the familiar rather than the new. So we saw a ton of youth subculture references, plus many nods to Great British heritage and manufacturing. Continue reading
Tom Ford's new hero product and a novel use for old beauty boxes
When it comes to beauty products I'm as swayed by the packaging as I am by the performance of the product. Tom Ford's packaging is the best (and most expensive) in the business, with lipsticks clocking in at £36. Alas, I'm more of a sheer lip stain girl, so I haven't had reason to indulge in the highly pigmented Ford lippies but here's something I will entertain. Continue reading

Tom Ford Beauty arrives today
I could have done without Tom Ford's cheesy infomercial but everything else about his new Tom Ford Beauty line is as lush and lavish as to be expected. Full disclosure: I'm a packaging whore so I'm all about the weighty almost-black (actually 'mahongany', which replaces the white and gold) lipsticks cases and golden compacts that have suitably luxe clunk-click closures.

A tweet From Jackie Collins inspired me to look up Hollywood Wives on YouTube. Boy am I glad I did. The music! The hair! The clothes!

I often find myself uttering the phrase, "you don't want to be really rich, because it sucks to be rich." For whatever reason I'm always asked to explain that opinion. I'll do so here so I can just reference this blog post from now on instead of having to repeat myself.
Just to be clear, it also sucks to be poor. I'm not saying it doesn't because it really, obviously does. My experience going to Ghana and making friends with dancers who later injured their backs has shown me that, especially when there are unmet medical needs, being poor absolutely bites.
But I would (and will) argue it also sucks to be rich, in a more psychological, and less sympathetic (as in, people don't have sympathy for you) kind of way.
This recent article from the New York Times, about a reported who lived like a billionaire for a day, is worth a read and is what spurred me to write this post. My favorite line:
"Somebody's got to live this life," he says, gesturing to the pristine view from his penthouse villa. "God decided it should be me."
Not that this line supports my arguments, but it's just awesomely grandiose and despicable.
Anyhoo, back to why it actually sucks. I am using evidence I gleaned from working at D.E. Shaw with quite a few rich people (as in never have to work in their lives and can take yearly ski vacations in the Alps or wherever) and a few insanely rich people (way more). So it's a relatively small sample size, but even so it's not empty.
The main reason I think it sucks, is that human nature has us worrying about stuff no matter what. And rich people don't have normal things to worry about, so they make up really weird shit to worry about. That's kind of the whole argument but I'll give a bunch of examples.
The primary reason it sucks to be rich is that, counter-intuitively, rich people constantly worry about money. If you drew a graph of "have money" versus "worry about money" it would be a "U" shaped graph. I feel very lucky to be in the sweet spot where I make enough money not to worry about paying my bills or being on medical insurance but I don't make so much money that I have to start worrying about it.
What do I mean? I mean:
- Rich people worry about whether they've invested their money correctly (not a concern for me). This sounds like a joke but believe me, they talk about it for many many hours, probably more time than they spend with their kids.
- They worry about whether the charities they give money to are really producing stuff, because the scale of their donations is so large (again, not a concern for me, if I give money it's to Fair Foods and I know exactly where it goes, usually to paying for insurance for the trucks).
- They scheme and plan how to affect politics and politicians with their money. Maybe not so much sympathy for this.
- They worry about whether their kids will turn into good-for-nothing leeches and so come up with weird estate planning contracts with lawyers to keep money away from their kids, which in turn screws up their kids and their relationship with their kids. This stuff is for real and can get insanely nasty, see this article if you don't believe me.
Who needs all that? I'm much happier having kids where I'll say, when they are ready to go to college, hey here's how much we've been able to save, here are your college choices, the rest you'll have to pay for yourself so choose wisely.
In other words, it's good to have nice and reasonable worries.
Besides money, what do rich people worry about? The answer is: absolutely everything, and nothing, at the same time.
My favorite two examples come from stories about David Shaw himself, who is massively rich. I didn't actually meet the people involved, so these are myths I heard working there, but they are really good myths and have the ring of so-absurd-nobody-could-make-this-up.
First example: David hires a Ph.D. in English literature (he has a thing for "geniuses", even in the mail room) to test mattresses for him. So that person's job is to sleep on 15 different mattresses, for 8 nights each, and draw up a report to tell him the pros and cons of each mattress. This is to avoid him having an uncomfy night's sleep. That's what the risk was that we were avoiding with that.
Second example: David wants to be sure his trip to California goes smoothly, so he hires a Ph.D. in Something to take the exact same trip – same car service to the NY airport, same flight (same seat on plane!), same car service upon arrival, same hotel, exactly a week before his trip (due to understood seasonality issues of air travel) – to make sure there are no snags, and to draw up the report that presumable explains how much leg room there was in his plane.
You could say that he's just a weirdo, but here's where I'd disagree. Before making $2.5 billion, he was just a computer science nerd at Columbia. Sure, he was intense and probably competitive, but he had normal worries and isn't famous for being a total jerk. For that matter he's still not famous for being a total jerk, but he's clearly got not enough to worry about.
In other words, I'm convinced that if I had that much money, I'd be doing stuff like that too, and so would you. The existence of asstons of money around you makes you weird and entitled. Add to that that everyone around you is either your servant or someone who assumes you are living a perfect happy life, and you become increasingly isolated and misunderstood on top of it, which leads to more weirdness.
Yuck! I'd rather be saving up for a family trip to somewhere nice, and in the meantime having stay-cations where the biggest expense is a Brazilian barbeque restaurant in Queens.
April 5, 2012 at 9:13 am
I agree with your post, albeit I'd put it in a different way.
Works is the great commonality, a bit like high school (when we were younger) or maybe television (at least before the emergence of cable). Those who are wealthy, like the elderly in nursing homes or stay at home parents or the unemployed or those who are severely disabled, do not share in the great commonality of a 40 hour work week, along with the complaints and occassional high drama. In America, not having a job leaves you disconnected from the experiences of the large bulk of the working population, and tends to leave people isolated and alone
April 5, 2012 at 10:21 am
Given there are counterexamples of billionaires that don't act like your example (Buffet, Gates,Jobs,etc), your thesis isn't supported very well. It isn't a refutation that I know quite a few 10-100M+ net worth folks that could afford to waste their money like your David (but they don't) but I would suggest he had an existing personal psychological issue (enabled and made worse by his financial situation) rather than a financial problem that applies to all high net worth people.
Agreed that your problems change when you have a higher net worth but these are not worse problems compared to not being able to afford health care or take care of your kids. They are problems that you can mitigate with prudent investing/giving and restrained consumption (i.e., setting an example for your kids so they don't feel entitled).
April 5, 2012 at 10:24 am
Wait, do you mean Steve Jobs and Bill Gates? Because they are kind of perfect examples actually.
Buffett I'll give you.
April 5, 2012 at 9:22 pm
Cathy, I tend to think that David Shaw has probably always been weird. I have heard stories (from people who were there) about him spending hours debating whether to use word X or word Y in the abstract of a DESRES paper and other stories about his obsession with details; you don't have to be rich to do that.
Also, I don't think that both stories are that crazy; I don't think he lost sleep (no pun intended) worrying about the matress research. If I really cared about sleeping comfortably and I could hire a random person to test matresses for $1 and a PhD. in physiology of sleep for $10, I would probably choose the latter. Scale up my net worth 1,000x (or 10,000x, or whatever), and you get the first example.
What's wrong with Bill Gates?
April 7, 2012 at 9:38 am
Your thesis is that being super rich is bad for you, it sucks to be rich. Bill Gates retiring rich by an measure from Microsoft and devoting his energy and money to his foundation that works on malaria drugs, safe nuclear reactors, education, HIV and family planning. I'm not sure what metric you would be using that grades that in the "sucks to be rich" category. Warren Buffet would also disagree with you. As for Steve Jobs, whatever you think of him as a person is not relevant to your thesis, money didn't change his passion. His life didn't suck each time he got rich (Apple 1980's, NeXT, Pixar, Apple 2000's), he married, had kids, had commercial success; once again, I'm not sure what metric you use to label that his life sucks because he was rich?
April 5, 2012 at 11:13 am
I think you're letting these folks off the hook a bit easy here, Cathy. Just because many of the existing rich culture behave this way doesn't mean they HAVE to behave this way. And there are a lot that don't, it's just that nobody tells stories about them.
I'll give you the one about spoiled kids, but I would argue that this problem is as true for middle class families like mine in America as it is for the rich, though perhaps on a different scale. My kids are spoiled, too, and I worry about how that will affect their futures. In this country, I'm guess that all but the very poor worry about that.
Anyway, I don't think having lots of extra cash has to consume a person this way. It's only the needless ambition to turn that excess cash into more excess cash. They could just as easily put it into safe, slow growth investments, or into a safe deposit box. Nobody requires them to spend their time making more money hand over fist.

This post is weirdly comforting. On the other hand, how do you rid the world of parasites??

This reminds me of something you told me when we were teenagers that has stuck with me. I was lamenting not being one of the pretty girls, since it seemed desirable to be relentlessly catered to and forever fawned over. You told me that I needn't envy the pretty people, since beauty is a burden of its own. I have considered that comment for over twenty years and now find it to be a precocious bit of wisdom. Everything is a trade-off.
With regard to poverty in particular, I have noticed in my travels to places like Madagascar, where material poverty is widespread and extreme, that there appears to be an inverse relationship between material and spiritual wealth. I don't mean to glorify poverty with this observation, simply to note that the cost of pursuing material wealth can be greater than the return.
April 6, 2012 at 11:00 am
That's right, but it's the pursuit that's the problem, not the wealth. If you happen to be wealthy, there's no reason you have to pursue more of it. I spend my days doing science and being a dad, and if I were offered a job that paid me lots of money and didn't conflict with these two things, I'd take it, because that money would be useful for paying debts, etc. However, I'm not going to chase money for the sake of having it. That's the difference.

I happened to read this bit about Jack White (from NYT) that seems relevant. I guess one could say that this has to do with being an "artist," but I think it has more to do with being rich:
He was also installing microphones under the eaves outside his window. Thanks to some quirk of acoustics, he said, "I can't hear the rain." He wanted to pipe in the noise to speakers in his bedroom and listen to the rain while he fell asleep.

If these stories about Shaw are true, then count me as somewhat disappointed at the lack of imagination. I feel like he hasn't fully completed his journey to crazy land. You'd think that if he really appreciated what 2 billion dollars could do, he'd buy houses and condos at every planned travel destination (perhaps having Ph.D.s live in them for a while to weed out the ones with weird neighbors and traffic noises), fill them with his Ph.D.-tested furniture, and stock the fridges with his favorite foods.

I was wondering if there is a batch html-to-post plugin for wordpress.
Here is my problem: I'm making a website which according to the client should have somewhere around 1200 posts.
And its multilingual so 2400 posts (lets say min 2 languages)
All the content i'm given is word documents with styling and images.
So far I have managed to write a bash script to mass convert the word documents to pdf and then to html (thus stripping away most of the useless html word produces)
But since there is no way I'm going to add everyhting by clicking, are there any plugins that could do it for me?

« Escape to New York Fest coming to Southampton, NY | Demetri Martin made a book, touring bookstores »
Posted in music | tour dates on April 25, 2011
According to "Music to Know"'s website, there will be "18 bands, dozens of chefs, wines, beer, retail and lifestyle brands, a premium weekend festival presenting the hottest music, fashion, lifestyle, chefs, and wines and beers to know." It also says "website under construction. stay tuned." I can't wait to know the full lineup of the August 13-15 East Hampton fest which...
"...had been planned for Amagansett, received approval for the East Hampton Airport property usage on Thursday, though they have one more hurdle to cross: an okay from the Federal Aviation Administration....says the East Hampton Patch who also reveals that Dawes are confirmed on the bill so far.Sag Harbor residents Collage and Chris Jones, owner of the Sole East, has permission for bands and a DJ to play between noon and 10 p.m. The permit is for a total of 9,500 people over both days..."
MTK is not to be confused with the just-announced August 5-7 Southampton fest called Escape to New York.

The only chefs I need "to know" is the ones at Mamouns, Oasis, Moaz, and Hummus Kitchen.

(East Hampton, NY . . . August 6, 2011) The MTK: Music To Know Festival (www.musictoknow.com) planned for Saturday – Sunday, August 13 – 14, in East Hampton, New York, is cancelled. A statement is as follows:
"It is with heavy, heavy heart that we regret to inform you that the inaugural MTK: Music To Know Festival in East Hampton will not take place. Despite our unique vision and arranging a world-class line-up, ticket sales were not adequate to allow the event to continue. We wanted to let everyone know now before engaging more deeply.
Along with our ticket holders, vendors, sponsors, business associates, colleagues and friends in the community, we too are filled with deep disappointment. We pledge to endure during this difficult time with the same integrity and professionalism displayed throughout the creation of this event.
Ticket holders should check www.musictoknow.com next week for more information.
Most humbly,
MTK, Music To Know LLC"

It's a shame that you couldn't get the support.
I think maybe your patrons are not in that area of the Island,lovely as it is.
Perhaps from the random venom spit out on this site you can gather that there is a tremendous amount of territoriality in
Long Island that can not be bridged by music.
Just like our congress, we have become too selfish and partisan and bitter to join together for even an afternoon of music.
This country is doomed.
Too bad it was a great idea.

I have to admit that I'm struggling on this one.
My oldest child is fully vaccinated (before I knew better), except that he has not had an MMR booster or varicella booster (he's on steroids). He has also not had a flu shot.
So what I'm struggling with is all of the flu hype and knowing that he is more vulnerable than the regular child.
He's immune suppressed (Because of the steroids), and in addition, sickness really knocks him out, strength-wise. Something about a fired up immune system makes DMD boys really tired.
So even though this is the anti-vaccination board, if you all had a medically fragile child, would you do a flu shot?
Thanks for any advice.
Sponsored Links | |||
I would not vaccinate a medically fragile child, mainly because there's no way to know if the child will adversely react to the vaccine. And, for two weeks after vaccinating, a person is much more vulnerable to illness due to the immune system being overtaxed. I think vaxing would further stress out an already stressed out immune system, resulting in untold consequences....look into natural alternatives to keep illness away, as well as the standard precautions-handwashing, lots of rest, vit c & d, stay out of crowds, healthy nourishing foods.....
I would not do the MMR. There is a 95% chance the vaccine took the first time around, and measles, mumps and rubella are not that common. Even if you believe we should vaccinate to keep herd immunity up, that burden should not fall on a child with medical issues.
The flu and chicken pox are different - they are diseases that are kicking around.
I think you need to look at prevalence of the disease, the risks of the disease in your child given his medical conditions, versus the efficacy and safety of the vaccine.
If the chicken pox is dangerous in kids with your sons condition, I would research, research, research. How old is your son? If you decide in favour of the shot, I would give it alone and when he is in good health. I don't know if it is a shot that requires boosters, but I would look up the necessity of them before doing any boosters. I might even test for titres before vaccination - some people have had CP and don't know it. You also need to know that some people who are vaxxed for CP come down with CP. It is supposedly "milder" but that still might be an issue. I don't know the efficacy of the CP vaccines offhand.
The flu is messier, in my mind. I am not impressed by the efficacy of the flu shot. There are oodles of links on flu shots on the vaccine debate and discussion page - alternately google things like "cochrane review influenza" and "flu shot not effective" and see what you come up with. It is worth noting that only about 4% of the population comes down with the flu (or flu strain that is in the vaccine) on average in any given year.
The flu shot has to be given yearly, at least the CP is only given once or twice and then it is done. Do not give him the MMRV (combines MMR and Varicella) even if you want to do a second dose of MMR. MMRV is more dangerous than doing V and MMR separately.
Do you like his main doctor? While I do not doubt the doc is pushing vaccines on you, you might be able to figure out which vaccines your doctor thinks are the most important for your son and why. Ask him for his top three.
good luck - and good health to your family!
There is a battle of two wolves inside us. One is good and the other is evil. The wolf that wins is the one you feed.
Book and herb loving mama to 1 preteen and 2 teens (when did that happen?). We travel, go to school, homeschool, live rurally, eat our veggies, spend too much time...
It would depend on the specific medical condition.
For the MMR, you could do a titer, and see if he has immunity already, which would then make the booster a non-issue.
For the flu shot--well, we don't know how effective it is for kids with MD. We do know from recent independent studies (the Cochrane Review, and CIDRAP) that it is not particularly effective for healthy kids, and that there is no evidence showing efficacy in pediatric and geriatric populations.
We know that for some people, the flu shot can be deadly--but do we know which subgroups that it? Looking at the kinds of severe reactions compensated by the US Dept of Health & Human Services, it looks like most of those people either had seizure problems or autoimmune problems (and some seizure disorders ARE autoimmune disorders). Did the people have autoimmune problems before the shot that were exacerbated, or did the shot cause autoimmune problems where none existed previously? Does it make a difference?
Having been through a few severe vaccine reactions, my take on it is to avoid vaccines. But someone who has suffered complications from disease may have a different take--until they suffer complications from a vaccine as well.
Very, very difficult question. I'm sorry that there are no easy answers.
If it helps/makes you feel better, my father was born with epilepsy and cerebral palsy. He was vaxxed as a child but far less than kids are today (he was born in 1954), and never had a flu vax. He was on phenobarbital and dilantin for 40yrs before being weaned off both, so as a child he was on these heavy drugs and a number of others at one time or another and not once did my grandparents worry about his health any more so than his 4 siblings with no disorders. He's doing just fine, still doesn't get the flu vax, and sees a naturopath to control the residual/sporadic tics.
Hi - thanks for all of the responses - I really appreciate it.
I wasn't super clear in my message, because I'm not considering either the MMR or Chickenpox booster - we pulled titers before we put him on steroids, and they already took, so we're good on that.
It's the flu that has me wondering. I will admit that I am somewhat anxiety prone, so I'm a sucker for the media blitz.
But I have a friend with two boys with MD who got the shot and just came down with terrible cases of the flu, so I think we'll opt out and hunker down this year.
Thanks again.

A little support, a big thing for a puppy
Puppies are vulnerable. Separated from their mothers, thrown away in dumpsters, they have little chance of survivalif they're not rescued on time. Since last fall, AMP rescuershave taken in about 200 puppies in the two dogshelters in Triaj and Stupini. If we hadn't acted, the puppies would have died of cold and hunger!
They weigh onlyabout 500 grams, so the easiest thing to do is to pick them up in your palms and cuddle them. Caring for them is as demanding as caring for infants. At the shelter, the puppies are kept in heated nurseries, away from frost and snow. Their immunity is low, and they need to be fed by bottle every four hoursuntil they're vaccinated. Later, they receive boiled rice combined with vegetables, and eventually their nutritionis supplemented with canned food. Only after they've gotten all their vaccinations are the puppies ready for adoption. This happens when they're four months old.
From rescue to adoption,the care of a single puppy costsmore than 100 euros (including milkformula, rice, canned food, vaccines and medicines, and heating). To save lives, we need your support. A can of dog food, a bag of powdered milk, a vaccine vial, or even 10 lei (3 euros) - a little support is enough to help save and care for a puppy!
Animals deserve 20% of your attention!
- Now you can help animals, without spending anything! November is the best time for companies to direct up to 20% of their income tax to nonprofits that make a difference. Calculate your profit for the fiscal year 2014 and ask your accountant to direct Electronic Statement 101 to the Millions of Friends Association.
The Romanian governmental lows businesses to support NGO swithout having to spend extra money. Under the updated Tax Code 571/2003, Title 2, Ch. II, Article 21 (4), point p),"taxpayers who make sponsorships, according to Law no. 32/1994 regarding the sponsorship, can subtract from their payable income tax the relatedamounts, if the total of these expenses meet the following conditions: - It is within the limit of3 ‰ the turnover; - It does not exceed more than 20% of the payable tax."
Why should you help animals?
There are many advantages to redirecting 20%: you don't spend anything extra, it'sa simple procedure, and it doesn't take any of your time. We'll send you the completed sponsorship form, and all you have to do is to hand it over to your accountant. He'll know what to do with it!
You'll also benefit from your connection with the Millions of Friends Association, showing the world that your company is socially responsible. We'll promote you on www.ampbears.ro (over 4.000 unique visitors/month) and at the Libearty sanctuary in Zarnesti (over 10.000 visitors/year).
If you don't direct up to 20% of your profit tonon profits that make a difference, the money will go directly to the government, and you won't be able to track it. But if you direct the money to AMP, you'll know that your money will really change the world - for the animals.
Why Millions of Friends?
- We'rethe oldest nonprofit in Romania. We've been rescuing animals since 1997!
- In the past 17 years, the association has saved over 20,000 souls in distress.
- This year alone, we'verescued over 300 dogs, 30 cats, four bears, plus bats, storks, hedgehogs, and other animals.
- We have 700 dogs in our care at thepublic shelter in Stupini (co-administered by AMP) and the Victory dog shelter in Triaj, and 80 bears at the Libearty bear sanctuary in Zărnești.
Don't hesitate to contact us for more details. We're counting on your support!
AMP was founded in 1997 by Cristina and Roger Lapis, the then French Honorary Consul to Romania.There were so many stray dogs in the streets of Brasov, many of them ill and hungry, injured bycars. Cristina wanted to help them and began building a shelter … that was the beginning of the DogShelter Triaj.
In 1998 AMP began investigating tourists' complaints about bears kept in horrible conditions in cages outside restaurants and petrol stations all over Romania. This eventually led to a collaboration in 2005with the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) to construct the Libearty Bear Sanctuary in Zarnesti.
Today, AMP runs the Dog Shelter Triaj and Libearty Bear Sanctuary. In addition, the Association alsoworks to protect all animals in Romania through local projects, campaigns and education programmes.Please explore our website, meet our animal friends, and come and visit us in Brasov!
Please help all the Bears to be happy! Adopt a Bear or make a donation in order to support the future rescuing missions of other captive bears around Romania. Support our Association in helping the 72 Bears living at the "Libearty" Sanctuary and the over 400 dogs from the Dog Shelter in Triaj , by offering them the best living conditions and a better future.
Thank you for your support!

Why vote at all then, Herr HR
A Republic, Not a Democracy
Throughout the presidential election controversy (2000), we have been bombarded with references to our sacred "democracy." Television and radio shows have been inundated with politicians worried about the "will of the people" being thwarted by the courts. Solemn warnings have been issued concerning the legitimacy of the presidency and the effects on our "democratic system" if the eventual winner did not receive the most popular votes. "I'm really in love with our democracy," one presidential candidate gushed to a reporter. Apparently, the United States at some point become a stealth democracy at the behest of news directors and politicians.
The problem, of course, is that our country is not a democracy. Our nation was founded as a constitutionally limited republic, as any grammar school child knew just a few decades ago (remember the Pledge of Allegiance: "and to the Republic for which it stands"...?). The Founding Fathers were concerned with liberty, not democracy. In fact, the word democracy does not appear in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. On the contrary, Article IV, section 4 of the Constitution is quite clear: "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a Republican Form of Government (emphasis added). The emphasis on democracy in our modern political discourse has no historical or constitutional basis.
In fact, the Constitution is replete with undemocratic mechanisms. The electoral college is an obvious example. Small states are represented in national elections with greater electoral power than their populations would warrant in a purely democratic system. Similarly, sparsely populated Wyoming has the same number of senators as heavily populated New York. The result is not democratic, but the Founders knew that smaller states had to be protected against overreaching federal power. The Bill of Rights provides individuals with similar protections against the majority. The First Amendment, for example, is utterly undemocratic. It was designed to protect unpopular speech against democratic fervor. Would the same politicians so enamored with democracy be willing to give up freedom of speech if the majority chose to do so?
Our Founders instituted a republican system to protect individual rights and property rights from tyranny, regardless of whether the tyrant was a king, a monarchy, a congress, or an unelected mob. They believed that a representative government, restrained by the Bill of Rights and divided into three power sharing branches, would balance the competing interests of the population. They also knew that unbridled democracy would lead to the same kind of tyranny suffered by the colonies under King George. In other words, the Founders had no illusions about democracy. Democracy represented unlimited rule by an omnipotent majority, while a constitutionally limited republic was seen as the best system to preserve liberty. Inalienable individual liberties enshrined in the Bill of Rights would be threatened by the "excesses of democracy."

On the Verge of Discovery: The Fountain of Youth in Pill Form
Posted By Carole Carson On March 18, 2013 @ 12:40 pm In Health Talk | No Comments
If you could take a pill and prevent further aging, would you take it? Besides extending the length of your life, what if the pill could protect you from cancer, Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes? You might even find your skin looking younger.
Do these claims sound like science fiction? Not at all, according to David Sinclair, a geneticist who heads the Lowy Cancer Research Centre's Laboratory for Ageing Research at the University of New South Wales. Dr. Sinclair, who is currently based at Harvard University, anticipates that antiaging drugs will be available by 2018.
Through his research, Dr. Sinclair has found that a single enzyme, SIRT1, "is switched on naturally by calorie restriction and exercise, but it can also be enhanced through activators."
Resveratrol, found in red wine, contains a naturally occurring activator. So to keep the doctor away, in addition to eating an apple a day, we should drink a glass of red wine with dinner.
To jump-start the antiaging nature of this enzyme, Dr. Sinclair and his associates have developed synthetic drugs that are 100 times more potent than the amount of resveratrol found in a glass of wine. Through their efforts, 4,000 synthetic activators have been identified, and the three most promising drugs are currently being tested on humans.
In animal testing, overweight mice that were given potent synthetic resveratrol "were able to run twice as far as slim mice and they lived 15 per cent longer."
The superior athletic performance of these mice raises profound questions about how humans would perform given the same synthetic activator. (For openers, we might need to raise the bar for awarding Olympic medals.)
Once the antiaging drug becomes available, the potential applications are mind boggling. Initially, the drug might be used to target type 2 diabetes, but the applications don't stop there. Dr. Sinclair believes positive implications exist for a variety of diseases associated with aging, from cancer to cardiovascular disease, from Alzheimer's to cataracts and from Parkinson's diseases to osteoporosis. Research has led Dr. Sinclair to conclude that "ageing isn't the irreversible affliction that we thought it was."
Welcome to the brave new world!

In the run up to the release of the iPhone 4S there was plenty of speculation that a new handset would have a bigger display compared to previous models. There has even been talk recently that the iPhone 5 was dropped temporally by the company before the iPhone 4S. There is now rumors that Hitachi and Sony are going to supply Apple with 4-inch LCD displays, so could it be for the iPhone 5?
AppleInsider are reporting that the displays are meant to be hitting the market next year, and for an unspecified iOS device. There are other rumors that suggest that Sony and Hitachi will also team up with Toshiba Mobile Display Co., Ltd, to create Japan Display by the spring of 2012.
These reports come shortly after we told you that production had allegedly begun for the displays for the iPad 3, with Sharp being one of the companies supplying Apple. Sharp are set to get investment from Apple for the company's IGZO LCD panels, which will allow thinner designs of the iPhone and iPad with improved battery life.
The Sharp technology provides power consumption almost as good as OLED panels but only 25 percent thicker according to Jeffries analyst Peter Misek. The same sources are also claiming that Apple will be using a Taiwanese company to provide panels for a totally redesigned iPad 4, which will be manufactured by a new process.
Whenever we do see an all new iPhone many will be hoping it does bring with it a larger screen, and a 4-inch display seems a popular choice among iPhone fans. Would you be happy with an iPhone and a 4-inch screen?
