The last time I touched a pottery wheel, Wham were still together. I seem to remember it didn't go well and my clay ashtray (it was the 1980s!) took up residence in a cupboard shortly after I took it home. Twenty-five years later, and I decide it's time to try this pottery lark again.
Stoke-on-Trent – heralded as the world capital of ceramics – is where all the big boys reside: Wedgwood, Moorcroft, Royal Stafford and Emma Bridgewater. As I doubt these experts would want me flailing around their studio, I head instead to the Potters Barn, just across the Staffordshire border in Sandbach, Cheshire.
The Potters Barn is a lovely little rural establishment with an open, friendly atmosphere. It runs half- and full-day courses, but also offers a casual service where you can just drop in any time for a short introductory session. This involves clay modelling, painting and using the wheel. The centre is run by Steve and Andy, two affable characters with the requisite levels of patience and good humour (I'm sure they were laughing with me, not at me).
To start the session, Steve demonstrates the basics of throwing a pot. He splashes the clay with water while simultaneously coaxing it between his palms to create the desired shape – a technique that looks like it requires a minimum of three hands. Within minutes, he has a perfect little vessel.
My turn. Apparently the key to success is to get the clay directly in the middle of the wheel, or everything will be off kilter. On my second attempt I get there and Steve guides me through the process. OK, so I was only the co-pilot, but I'm impressed with how good the finished result looks.
I try again, this time without assistance, teasing the clay upwards and flattening it down to remove the air bubbles, before making a hole in the middle and cajoling it into shape using my fingers. Everything happens very quickly – the experience is akin to walking an unruly dog, in that you're never quite sure if you have everything under control. My first solo pot actually looks like, erm, a pot. Hurrah.
After the wheel we finish the session with some clay modelling (there are no words to describe quite how bad my clay "dog" really is), and finally painting a pre-made model. I doubt Grayson Perry will be trembling in his heels, but it's been a fun experience and I can't wait to give it another go.

Product Details
Brake Hose by Omix-Ada®. Brake hoses should be carefully inspected at every brake service. If any hose shows signs of cracking, swelling, chafing or other damage, it should be replaced. Don't risk brake hydraulic system failure. Replace any suspect hose with an OEM quality replacement from Omix-Ada, the world's largest independent manufacturer of Jeep parts and accessories.
- Meets or exceeds OEM specifications
- OEM quality at an affordable price

Brake hoses can deteriorate with age, or become damaged from mishandling or contact with other undercar components. Age deterioration is most commonly seen as cracks or splits in the outer hose, but hoses can also deteriorate inside. Internal breakdown can result in flaking that can restrict or clog the hose, but can also cause swelling and a spongy pedal. Feel the hoses as the brake pedal is applied to check for this condition. Contact with other components due to previous misrouting can cause the hose to chafe.
If any of these conditions are found, replace the hose with an OEM quality replacement from Omix-Ada. These hoses are identical in every way to original equipment, for hassle-free installation and perfect performance at an affordable price. Omix-Ada is so confident in the quality of these hoses that they're warranted to the original purchaser to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 3 years from date of initial purchase.1.33 29.90

No one batted an eyelash when Reese's combined chocolate and peanut butter, and Naughty Dog is betting that Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, its blend of Tomb Raider and Gears of War, will be just as natural a combination. Undeniably pretty, is Uncharted equal to the sum of its parts?
If you're a child of the '80s you undoubtedly remember the movie Romancing the Stone. Swap in Nathan Drake for Michael Douglas, Elena for Kathleen Turner, and the lost treasure of El Dorado for the stone, and you have a dead ringer in Uncharted. Nathan is the direct descendent of famed explorer, Sir Francis Drake, and is following in his ancestor's footsteps by trying to track down the mythical golden statue. Elena is the get-the-story-at-any-cost journo, who gets in way over her head. Cue a rough cut sidekick named Sully, a villain with an accent, and corny love-in-the-bud moments, and you've got all the makings of a story that puts the "ham" in ham-fisted.
Yet, like a summertime popcorn flick, it manages to snare you in--making you actually care about the characters and their fate. Things move at such a brisk pace and positive reinforcement comes so frequently, that the predictable proceedings never wear out their welcome.
There's only one way to go in Uncharted. There are no branching paths, and no deviation from the primary quest. Getting stuck or lost is practically impossible. The game is split into 22 different chapters, with each taking anywhere from 10-30 minutes to complete. Novice players will be lucky to get 10 hours out of the quest, and aside from achievements and 60 different items to collect that will unlock a variety of bonus content, there's not much reason to go back and play it again. A lack of any sort of leaderboard, cooperative, or online support doesn't help to stretch its longevity.
Uncharted mixes things up with a variety of gameplay types. Nathan will find himself at the turret of a Jeep, behind the handlebars of a jet ski, and taking command of gatlin guns, but these are mere side dishes compared to the platforming and gunplay that dominate the experience.
We're not talking about platforming in the sense of timing and judging distance. Things are much more simplified here and automatic. It's more about figuring out which way to jump than executing the perfect leap. Just like the rest of the game, there's one predetermined way to get through each gauntlet, and progressing is often more of a case of whether you see a well-disguised handhold or not. Even so, the levels are designed in such a way that you'll regularly take leaps of faith, crossing your fingers that Drake can hold on with his. There's also a handful of puzzles to complete, but they amount to little more than bumps in the long road of gunplay.
Kill.switch started it, Gears of War perfected it, and Uncharted revisits it with success. And by "it' we mean stop-and-pop gun battles utilizing a cover system. Just like in Gears you can press a button and take cover behind any object in the game, and then rotate the camera a full 360 degrees to keep an eye on enemies. When they're exposed you pop out of cover, take a few shots, and retreat. While it's not exactly an original idea, the system works well here.
You'll get the typical arsenal of weapons including pistols, shotguns, machine guns, and grenade launchers. The aiming is silky smooth without the aid of an auto-lock feature. You'll be landing headshots in no time flat.
The enemies aren't especially smart, but what they lack in intelligence they make up in numbers. They'll come from all directions, and eventually snap laser scopes onto their guns, making evasive rolls a necessity. Boss fights are basically non-existent, and you get a smattering of context sensitive moments that happen so infrequently that you're never prepared for them.
Hand-to-hand combat is a possibility, but we don't recommend it. You're basically relegated to one, three-hit combo, and it can be almost impossible to get the timing down. Otherwise, if you're out in the open flailing your arms around you won't be doing it for long.
Uncharted is one of those rare games that borrows elements from all the latest hits without feeling like an also-ran. It manages to simplify gameplay elements that typically frustrate casual players, yet provides enough challenge in the gunplay to satisfy the hardcore.
We've waited a while for a PlayStation 3 game that truly separates itself from Xbox 360 software and we finally have it. Drake's Fortune is easily the best-looking console game on the market. We could run down a laundry list of effects, but what really sets Uncharted apart is the attention to detail. Plants sway as characters brush past them, reflections on the water dip and sway with the ripples, and Drake actually looks wet when he gets out of it. The animation here is also outstanding, with smooth transitions between every movement in the game and characters accounting for, and reacting to, every piece of geometry.
The audio features a rousing orchestral score and some excellent voice work that perfectly fits each character's personality. It goes a long way towards engaging the player, and where production values are concerned, Uncharted lives up to its name.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune doesn't do a thing that other games haven't done before, but it's a well-executed compilation of all the gameplay mechanics that have worked over the past few years. Its silly, yet loveable plot has franchise written all over it, and while this brief rollercoaster ride through the jungle may not have $60 legs, it's the perfect friend for a lost weekend.

text: The Benoist wiki last edited by aspenation_366 on 04/29/15 09:45AM View full history Part flesh, part machine, Benoist has a very sordid past that led him to his current state of being. Being part machine, Benoist can become one with his mechanical creations and weapons. This allows him a greater range and control far beyond that of any other being. Benoist also shares great capability with his vehicles, being able to travel and fly in unusual contraptions which only he can usually pilot. Toughened over the years, Benoist's rugged yet palatable attitude leaves little room for small talk or indecision. Knowledgeable of almost every metal in existence, there is very little in the way of machine or armored defense that Benoist cannot build or undo. Sharing a mysterious past with the giant dragon, Benoist will soon become an important part of Malikai's future, helping him to unlock many untold and ancient secrets.

I am currently trying to scrape together funding to start my own business in partnership with my cousin. We are both young, but are both very diligent, hard working, and business savvy. We are trying to start our own marketing and advertising company located in the Northeast. Specifically we are trying to break into the billboard business as well as other advertising routes. We have created a fund raiser for our business fund. Please support us in our goals to launch a successful business.
Funding is one of the most important aspects of any business. Obtaining funding should start with a solid business plan. And, there are numerous funding opportunities available to raise business capital for your company.
It's kind of frustrating to see so many entrepreneurs, and business owners are struggling to get money for their business ventures. The secret to raising money for a business is to build up the business credit file. Most don't know this secret because it's not explained in a simplistic way.
Entrepreneurs are so used to raising money the hard traditional way. They borrow from family, friends, savings accounts and retirement plans. By doing this process you end up draining their back up resources.
Learning how to build your business credit file first, then utilizing your other resources for leverage gives your business the opportunity to have longevity.

Lavshuca Color Conc Rouge Review
Lavshuca introduced several colors of it's newest gloss, Color Conc Rogue, for it's Fall 2007 Collection (I googled pictures of the newest collection but all I get are some weird model advertising Lavshuca who is this girl and where's Puffy damnit!)
I purchased four of the ten colors. When I first got wind of these I was over the moon because hey I love gloss! Gloss is good. Gloss is nice. Gloss makes me (and my lips) happy! Um..ya..anyway….At the time I was seriously going to go ahead and purchase all ten of the colors because we established already I'm that kinda diseased about cosmetics 😉
I'm glad I went with four because I have to give Color Conc Rouge a bit of a bad review! Sad sighs all around!
I've tried to love this, I've tried to even like it. I've used two of the four colors so far and they just don't do anything for me! It's sadly lacking any "wow"!
The general idea of the gloss is it's supposed to act as a lipstick and a gloss all in one but that sadly doesn't really work. The texture is like any gloss you might have about. It's pretty thick, pretty slick but it doesn't glide. The glide is non existent (if you know gloss you know what I mean). I'm trying to firgure out exactly why it has no glide, I'm not entirely sure if it's the actual gloss or the applicator! The applicator is just a hard plastic piece with no sponge at the end so you are basically trying to apply gloss using the end of a tiny, hard piece of plastic! The gloss it self feels ok on, not tacky and not too sticky but just about right. However, it has no lasting power. Application may last you 30 minutes if you're lucky! Again, as almost all Japanese brands, it's unflavored! Overall it's just sadly lacking!
On the plus side the packaging is adorable which is cause for some excitement but the actual product inside leaves much to be desired! The colors are quite gorgeous but what's color if it doesn't apply correctly.
Lavshuca has some hit or miss products and this is sadly a miss for me! Of course I'm happy to have these in my collection but I can only offer it an ok rating.
Save your pennies, buy something else!
8/15/07 21:16 petitez:
I'm glad I didn't get these! They didn't attract me as I don't like the applicator part. Its plastic with a small opening. lucky u only got 4!!
8/15/07 21:27 A-Mused:
ya keep away! Save your money for something better! I'm glad I only got the four too! Massive disappointment!
The applicator is a big part of the problem but I think the generally texture of the gloss is very strange!
8/16/07 1:32 Anonymous:
oh, that was lavshuca's previous model. her name is juliana and she's a model in japan. she's so pretty!!! too bad now the models are puffy, cant wait for puffy to be replaced! heehee!
well, despite the bad reviews, the packaging of conc rouge is still real nice. maybe just use your finger or a lip brush to apply instead of the hard plastic?
8/16/07 2:01 ?~Erusa~?:
Uh… I really like mine, but I agree with you; because of the texture it's pretty hard to apply them. (U.u) Though in the stick gloss the aplicator works great! Don't you think? (^-^)
Using a lip brush helps really a lot, I must say. Yeah, no staying power, but they look so cute in my purse!
8/16/07 11:30 A-Mused:
Oh my gosh I love Puffy as the spokesmodels! 😉 You don't?
I've thinking of using a brush for application! I love the packaging too so that's the good news
Hey eruuuuu whatcha doing 😉
They are adorable and I think a brush applicator would do the trick! The staying power does turn me off ;(
Oh well!
Cute packaging rocks hehe!
Hello there!
My Rouge Conc (and my Lavshuca Eye Color Select in PU-2) should be arriving within days!
Like Erusa said, the Stick Gloss applicator works fine on me, so I am curious to see how this one differs.
Maquillage has a similar line of lip colors for this fall, by the way… I think it is based on a previous PN product. Now sure how it differs exactly from Rouge Conc…
I will definitely post my review later!
8/16/07 11:56 A-Mused:
hello my dear PJ 😉
*dances* Can't wait for you to get 'em!
I never tried the previous glosses from Lavshuca so I'm unsure how they compare!
I'm sorta kinda not in lust with these! See the Maquillage ones and I'd think they were probably a higher quality than these!
I can't wait to read your review on these PJ!
Love ya!

FOR one night only at the Journal Tyne Theatre, the Moscow Ballet graced Newcastle with the heart warming performance of Swan Lake.
The show was to be one that had been seen many times before - but still bursting with the same magic, heartbreak and infinite love that has captured the hearts of audiences across the world for generations.
The name synonymous with Swan Lake is that of composer Tchaikovsky, whose score provides the basis for this spectacular show.
Tchaikovsky was to be further integrated with the ballet after his death with a memorial tribute in act II choreographed by Ivanov.
To this day act II remains to be the most renowned part of the ballet for its composition as well as its choreography.
Now, the Moscow Ballet 'La Classique' has returned to the North East and under the director Elik Melikov, they have been able to provide a regeneration of the masterpiece which has appealed to all age groups and that has left a lasting imprint upon all those who attended the show last night.
As the lights dimmed in the theatre, the classical music crept into the room, filling people instantly with the genius of the composer, creating the prelude to the love story that was about to unfold.
Mesmerising dancers filled the stage bringing colour and life to the ballet right away.
The use of simple scenery throughout the ballet only served to accentuate the dancing on the stage of both the group dancers and the soloists.
Alongside the scenery was the use of minimal lighting which put a clear emphasis upon the outfits worn by all the dancers.
Every step that was taken on the stage was filled with effort and allure and every character caught the audience's attention in a different way.
Both the black and the white swan captivated the audience, suspending them between thoughts of elegance or provocation such was the skill of those on the stage.
The symbiotic relationship that lives between the music and the dancing of a ballet serves only as proof as to the reason why every person should go and indulge in the theatre at least once and in the instance of Swan Lake it can be truly said...that actions really do speak louder than words.
:: Swan Lake is also being performed twice on Sunday at Sunderland Empire, this time by the Russian State Ballet and Orchestra of Siberia.
Formed in 1981, the Russian State Ballet of Siberia has quickly established itself as one of Russia's leading ballet companies and has built an international reputation for delivering performances of outstanding quality and unusual depth.
The soloists and corps de ballet seldom fail to delight audiences with their physical ability and costumes.

Here's the follow-up story on the Holiday Bowl I wrote for today.
SAN DIEGO — Through two quarters Tuesday, Oregon had been picked apart by Oklahoma State's "Four Aces" for 17 points. The Ducks' only offense came thanks to an explosive Jeremiah Johnson touchdown run.
Were the Ducks doubting themselves during halftime?
"You better believe it, man," center Max Unger said.
Mike Bellotti said he "yelled at them a little bit" during the break. The UO coach said he lectured the Ducks on fundamentals: blocking, catching, tackling. He was pleased at having held the Cowboys scoreless in the second quarter, thanks to a missed field goal. But Oregon had been blanked as well, botching two field-goal attempts.
"We had already weathered the storm on defense," Bellotti said. "We needed to create a storm on offense."
That storm arrived in the form of UO quarterback Jeremiah Masoli. The burly sophomore accounted for four touchdowns in the second half, three on the ground, as the Ducks rallied to beat Oklahoma State, 42-31.
Perhaps Chip Kelly was in the restroom while Bellotti "yelled" at the Ducks. Oregon's offensive coordinator said "there was no yelling and screaming" during halftime, which was longer than usual to account for a lavish entertainment production on the field.
"It was like 35 minutes," Kelly said. "You could go in there and pull a knife and start screaming; then you've still got 25 minutes. We just went in, talked about some of the adjustments we'd make, and they got settled." Click here to read the complete story.

Washington University in St. Louis is committed to complying with the requirements of federal and state laws, including Section 6302 of the Federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, and to preventing and detecting fraud, waste or abuse in its organization in connection with federal and state health care programs.
Washington University is committed to complying with the requirements of federal and state laws, including Section 6302 of the Federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, and to preventing and detecting fraud, waste or abuse in its organization in connection with federal and state health care programs.
The intention of this document is to supplement the university's Code of Conduct and other policies and procedures and to provide information to employees and contractors and agents of the university about the provisions of federal and state false health care claims laws, penalties for violating the laws, and how to report suspected violations of the false claims laws.
Following is a summary of federal and state laws regarding health care programs and an overview of the related compliance activities in the university.
The Federal False Claims Act (FCA) is intended to prevent and detect fraud, waste and abuse of government funds. It is a violation of the federal FCA for anyone to knowingly submit, or cause another person to submit, a false health care claim and receive government funds. Examples of actions that could violate the federal FCA include overcharging the government for services rendered; filing a claim with the government for services that were not rendered; or filing a claim with the government with information known to be false. Anyone who knowingly or intentionally submits a false claim to the federal government is liable for civil penalties of $5,500 to $11,000 per claim, plus three times the amount of damage caused by the false claim.
Missouri law contains civil and criminal false claims provisions for combating Medicaid fraud. Specifically, Missouri's false claim statute prohibits:
Anyone who suspects a violation of the FCA or any other federal, state or local law, a university policy or the university's Code of Conduct is required to promptly report it to university management. Anyone who, in good faith, reports a suspected or actual violation of law, regulation, or University Code of Conduct or policy will be protected from retaliation and retribution as a result of such reporting, regardless of whether or not, after investigation, a violation is found to have occurred. As outlined in the University's Code of Conduct, any one of the following three channels may be used for informing university management of the suspected violations:
If issues related to misuse of government funds are not addressed and resolved by the above reporting channels, the federal FCA contains "whistleblower" provisions that allow citizens with evidence of false claims against the government to sue, on behalf of the government, in order to recover the improperly charged funds. If the suit ultimately ends in a monetary judgment, the citizen may share in the damages recovered. The federal FCA extends protections to employees who report false claims from retaliation or discrimination by an employer and university policy provides protection from retaliation and retribution as a result of such reporting, regardless of whether or not, after investigation, a violation is found to have occurred.
Washington University has a wide variety of policies, procedures and activities related to detecting and preventing health care fraud, waste and abuse, including the following:
The Washington University Code of Conduct expresses the commitment by Washington University to carry out its educational, research and health care activities in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations and with the highest integrity. All employees are expected to adhere to it.
The university's Physician Billing Compliance Office provides mandatory annual training for all faculty and staff who participate in patient care or reimbursement-related activities. The training includes information about how to report false claims. The Physician Billing Compliance Office also educates and works closely with billing personnel in each department to address billing questions or concerns that may arise. They also create and publish periodic educational and informative newsletters related to billing matters. They also perform monitoring and auditing of billing compliance.
The University Compliance Office maintains the university's hotline and investigates or partners with appropriate personnel to investigate all hotline calls and ensure appropriate corrective action occurs. This Office also performs audits of compliance with various federal regulations.
The Internal Audit Office performs internal audits throughout the university, which includes reviewing compliance with university policies and procedures and adequacy of internal controls, including internal controls related to health care, such as in the areas of billing processes, cash receipts, payment posting, write-offs, refunds, etc. The Controller's Office issues a Guide to Internal Controls document annually to all business managers and requires them to certify annually that they have received it and understand they are responsible for having adequate internal controls in their areas.

Smoked Fish Chowder
It is seldom that we use prepared foods in our recipes. But canned cream of potato soup is not only a time-saver, it gives this chowder a rich creaminess you can't achieve without cups and cups of whole cream. Feel free to substitute smoked haddock, whitefish, trout, or chubs for the salmon.
- 1 salmon fillet, 10 to 12 ounces, skin-on
- Traeger Salmon Shake, or coarse salt (kosher or sea) and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ears sweet corn, husked
- 3 strips bacon
- 4 cans condensed cream of potato soup
- 4 soup cans of whole milk, or more as needed
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, cut into small pieces
- 3 scallions (green onions), white and green parts thinly sliced crosswise
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce, or more to taste
When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Arrange the salmon skin-side down on the grill grate. Smoke for 30 minutes. Increase the temperature to 350 degrees F. Cook the salmon for 30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. (The exact time will depend on the thickness of the fillet.) There is no need to turn the fish. Using a large thin spatula, transfer the salmon to a wire rack to cool. Remove the skin. (The salmon can be made a day ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated.) Break into flakes and set aside. When the grill reaches 350 degrees, arrange the corn and bacon strips on the grill grate. (The salmon will be roasting while you do this.) Roast the corn and the bacon until the corn is cooked through and browned in spots, turning as needed, and the bacon is crisp, about 15 minutes. In the meantime, bring the cream of potato soup and the milk to a simmer over medium heat in a large saucepan or Dutch oven on the stovetop. Gradually stir in the cream cheese and whisk to blend. Chop the bacon into bits and slice the corn off the cobs using long strokes of a chef's knife. Add to the soup along with the green onions. Stir in the salmon. Heat gently for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the hot sauce to taste. If the chowder is too thick, add more milk. Serve at once.

Is it possible to make the interface automatically Side-by-Side if the filename contains the phrase 3D, 3d.
There is a plugin for the Dreambox DM8000 PVR with detects if the channelname contains 3D, if yes the plugin automatically makes a SBS interface for. So watching is with 3D glasses would make the interface appear normal. I would really like something like this for the WDTV. I get a headache if watching a 3D sbs mkv file and I have to rewind or pause it, the interface is unreadable....
Maybe create a setup option to select side-by-side or top-bottom if the phrase 3D is found.
With the growth in 3D TVs - could WD consider adding support for MPO files?
Is it possible to support .MPO and .JPS files on WD TV Live?
These files are actually JPEG files, so if player will treat these file extensions as JPEG files the box should show them as left image for MPO and Side-by-Side image for JPS.
As a next step it would be nice to have Top-Over/Side-by-Side options for MPO somewhere in the future.

Postgame Thoughts: Devils 3, Canadiens 2 (4/23/13)
Corey Griffin
Links: Pregame thread | Twitter | NHL.com recap
As I said on Twitter postgame, this was an impressive win for a lot of reasons. Yes, the Devils probably should've played like this at some point during their 10-game slide. No, two more wins like this won't drastically change how we look at the season. However, there were bright spots in this game that lend themselves toward a positive look for next season and it's possible missing the playoffs flipped a switch in the psyche of a lot of these players, which is another topic for another day. As for tonight's game, some thoughts…
Fortitude: At least for me, the most impressive part of tonight's win came after the Canadiens scored two unanswered, the second of which came including one in the final minute of the second period. We've seen the Devils melt down multiple times in that scenario, giving up an early goal in the third and going on to lose in regulation or in extra play. It's been one of my biggest criticisms of this Devils team, particularly during their recent slide. This team lacked a strong enough mental edge to their game to rebound from "woe is us" moments. Tonight, though, they didn't need a timeout to correct them and while they struggled to get shots on net in the third, they still kept the Canadiens at bay for long stretches. Also, the Habs came out in the third and tried to bully the Devils, who fought right back. Ilya Kovalchuk, for one, went right at the Canadiens after he got hit from behind. Kovy's response, along with the the energy he's played with and the way he drives the train (so to speak), has me wondering if it should be Kovalchuk with the captain's "C" next season. I know Salvador is respected in the room and a lot of guys like him, but would it kill them to give it to Kovy and have Salvador take an "A?" I think it would be a wise move that would help shape the team's mindset going into next season. Food for thought.

forceTen 0.5.0 released
forceTen has gotten the first public release and it's now possible to download it both as a binary application and as a project to compile from sources (in addition to the cloning of the source repository). Also, I've set up the mailing lists, a user's forum and the issue tracker. I don't like the graphics of the new web site (it seems I'm suffering from a lack of fantasy for the clip art), but they are a reasonable starter.
As an application, forceTen has got only a handful of features, but I'm working on the trip management capabilities of blueMarine that will be part of forceTen - I think that there will be something interesting by Christmas.
I'm also finishing a few screencasts about how to develop for forceTen - they are relevant for blueMarine too, of course, and for people interested in developing with the NetBeans Platform. So, stay tuned.

Sorry for the late response, but I received only now the email notifying your comment.
The project compiles fine under Hudson, but I think there's still something wrong in the configuration of Maven caches (Nexus) so they "see" something that is not publicy available. They are some libraries from the OpenBlueSky project which is being mavenized as well. Can you retry with the latest forceTen update from the repository, please? I've done a few changes in the past days. Thanks.

A public embrace between two female sailors from California is being hailed as "the kiss heard 'round the world" by activists who fought for a repeal of the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta from Placerville shared a kiss with partner Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell of Los Angeles on Wednesday as Gaeta's ship, the amphibious landing ship Oak Hill, returned to base at Virginia Beach, Va., after an 80-day deployment to Central America.
"It's something new, that's for sure," Gaeta, 23, told reporters after the kiss. "It's nice to be able to be myself. It's been a long time coming."

On Assignment: Book Club
Several of you got it pretty close. And if you didn't, no worries. First, this was not an easy photo to reverse. And second, the final look was a little nebulous and could probably have been achieved through any one of several different techniques.
This photo was very much a figure-it-out-as-you-go kind of process. We played with the setup until we got a look that we liked.
I say "we" because this photo was very much a collaborative effort between the designer and myself. She was the one who came up with the concept of shooting origami chairs on a book, and it was my job to light and execute her idea.
This is the best of all worlds, IMO, as she brought a good concept to the table with enough flexibility still left in the process to further improve the result.
So, here's what we did. Click on any photo to see it bigger and/or comment.
I decided my goal for the lighting was to connote a winter's night with a semicircle of readers near a fireplace. So, the first step was to position the pieces and set up the backlight, which would provide the mood.
In the photo above, the only light for the scene is an SB-26 into an umbrella behind the book. This gives a soft, three-dimensional feel to the scene.
Next, I gelled the light with a moderately blue gel (1/2 CTB) for mood. This was less blue than I needed, so I also set the camera's white balance to tungsten to enhance the blue color.
Normally, I prefer more subtlety. But newspapers are not known for their prowess in reproducing a saturated blue. So sometimes you have to hit that color over the head with a hammer.
Next, the Zip-lock baggie. We placed that over the lens, as a couple of you guessed. Easy diffusion.
We actually doubled it up for more softness, but the combination of the soft (umbrella'd) light and the baggie made it too diffuse for my liking.
To solve this, I swapped the backlight to a bare flash to make it harder.
I felt that this would give me a better looking diffusion edge when I shot it through the baggie.
Playing with the location of the hard backlight (so as not to cover the crest in shadow) and various levels of baggie diffusion gave me this result, which I liked.
Now, it was time to create the frontal light.
I did this by light painting over a 30-second exposure. My continuous light was an SB-800 flash, using the modeling light button to create daylight-balanced continuous light in 1-second bursts.
You could easily use a flashlight for this, too. In fact, I think a flashlight might have worked better.
Since I was shooting at tungsten balance, the light would be blue. To make it neutral, I gelled it with a CTO. To warm it up past neutral, I stuck on a second CTO. You can stack them this way for more effect.
The snoot on the front was quickly made with Rosco Cinefoil, which is basically black aluminum foil. This gave me a light beam about two inches wide at a distance of two feet.
Here's the setup. The shot was done in almost total darkness. You can see the background flash in the back at upper left. The big black gobo is to block as much of remaining shaded window light as possible.
The card in the front of the camera is to gobo the background flash to control flare.
To complete the shot the following sequence was used:
1. Lights out.
2. Place baggie in front of lens. (It helped having a second set of hands here.)
3. Fire the blue flash with the start of the 30-sec exposure.
4. Immediately remove the baggie.
5. "Light paint" (using the double-CTO'd, snooted SB-800 flash on modeling light function) on the sides of the chairs facing the camera and the top front edges of the book.
6. Repeat over and over until you get one that you like.
Here is an alternate choice to the original pick. I actually liked this one better in RGB form, but the more saturated photo looked similar to this in tone by the time our presses got done with it.
Also, we nixed this shot because the shadow fell on the crest, which was distracting.
You can see why this photo is so hard to reverse engineer. The back light is hard, yet diffused - and blue. The front light is sharp, very warm and coming from multiple areas at once. I like this overall effect because it has three simultaneous forms of lighting tension: Front/back, hard/soft and cool/warm.
If you are not thinking "light painting" the front light is almost impossible to solve. It is low-angled, yet the front chair does not shadow the back chair. It seemingly has to come from the left and and right, because that is what it does at various times in the painting process.
Look around the chairs closely in a big version of the final choice and you can see some neat things happening in there along the edges where the soft and hard light overlap.
Also, I love that the designer folded the chairs in a way as to be able to read snippets of titles on the vertical sections and neat little sentence fragments on the leading edges of some of the chairs. Those details make the photo.
I really enjoy shooting this type of a concept photo, as the success is always going to hinge on execution. I hope to do a lot more of this kind of work at The Sun.

Welcome to the 10th article in the series Breaking the Dysfunctional Dating Cycle and Find Love. Reading all the previous articles is recommended as it will bring you up to speed as to where we are in this process. Click here to find the previous articles.
It came to my attention during my own process of dating discoveries that something needed to change in my perception of men. I am going to use my experiences as a heterosexual to explain things, however it really does not make a difference what your sexual orientation is to understand this philosophy. If you are in a same-sex relationship, there might be one of you that has a stronger feminine or masculine side than the other. If so, then you might find the following information valuable as well.
We have all been through a lot of confusion about the male-female relationship and dynamics between the sexes, but I never completely understood this until I attended a weekend workshop designed by Allison Armstrong from PAX Seminars about understanding men. There were so many incredible insights that I learned throughout this weekend workshop that helped me not only understand men better, but to have more confidence in myself as well. I highly recommend taking a workshop or getting one of her CDs.
One of the important things I learned was how we as women emasculate men and as a result we lose their trust. It is not something that we are consciously doing, but unfortunately society has reinforced this behavior. Whether we realize this or not, this chips away at a man's self-esteem and we continue to push them farther away. For me, I wanted to gain a man's trust. I wanted to find my best friend and be a supportive, kind and loving partner. This does not mean subservient as that is not my style, but I had to look at the various ways that I added to emasculating my partner. I realized that every time I criticized, rolled my eyes, continually interrupted him, invalidated his opinion, laughed at men-bashing jokes, that I was only putting more and more of a wall between us.

Spilanthes Acmella is a traditional medicine for toothache, fever, and as an aphrodisiac; one study in rats suggests that it may increase Testosterone, but it is an understudied herb.

Spilanthes Acmella (Toothache Plant, Paracress) is a food product that has some history of medicinal usage related to its pain relieving properties. As the bioactives are absorbed topically and the leaves are used in salads, consumption of salads have been touted to help toothaches and other oral diseases where pain is a side-effect thereof.
It is currently in preliminary stages of research right now, with no human evidence. In rats, these pain relieving effects do appear to exist when applied to the skin (no evidence on oral consumption) and are fairly potent, but underperformed when compared to the reference drug.
Other properties of Spilanthese Acmella are as an aphrodisiac (which appears to be quite potent in rats, building up in efficacy over time rather than acute effects) and the diuretic effect, which only has one study on it currently but exhibited more potent effects than furosemide. The mechanism of diuresis appears to be similar to a loop diuretic.
Additionally, Spilanthes has been found to increase Testosterone, FSH, and LH; similar effects were also noted with another herb containing the same molecular class of N-Akylamides (Anacyclus pyrethrum) but currently this is one study.
Jambu Oleoresin, Acmella oleracea, Spilanthes oleracea, toothache plant, paracress
Based on the evidence in rats using 150mg/kg of an ethanolic extract, an estimated human dose is:
I foresee this being in a lost of testosterone boosters mainly because:
- Aphrodisiac
- Testosterone boosting in at least one study
- Diuretic effect can make you look leaner quicker by reducing water weight (common trick with supplements to reinforce 'immediate effects' of the supplement)
Also, this is pretty novel in the fact that you can do at home quality testing for your supplements. Spilanthes Acmella should make the inside of your mouth numb if you don't swallow it for a while.
Kurtis Frank
Spilanthes acmella is the more common name for the plant Acmella oleracea (and also has another name of Spilanthes oleracea; used less frequently). It belongs to the plant family of Asteraceae, and has been used in Ayurveda.[1]
Common terms used to refer to the plant include Jambu, toothache plant, or Paracress. It derives the name of 'toothache' plant from the compound 'spilanthol' which is sometimes used to reduce the pain associated with toothaches and can induce saliva secretions,[2] alongside the other compound Acmellonate.[3] Other traditional uses of this herb according to Indian medicine are the treatment of rheumatism and inflammation, a sialagogue for stammering, tongue paralysis, stomatitis, toothache and a treatment for fever, sore throat, and gum infections.[1] Beyond these health effects, it has been used as an Aphrodisiac and sexual tonic.[1]
Spilanthes Acmella does appear to have anti-malarial and antilarvicidal properties,[4][5] once demonstrated as a tea (hot water extract).[6]
As a herbal compound, Spilanthes Acmella contains a variety of molecules including the N-Akylamide class:
And other various compounds being:
The bioactives appear to be N-akylamide compounds, which have been implicated in enhancing sexuality via Maca (Macamide[9]) and Anacyclus pyrethrum (pellitorine[10]); these are different from most aphrodisiac compounds, which work via terpenoids or saponins. The N-akylamide class tends to be extracted in ethyl acetate:butanolic extracts due to their relatively high polarity.[7] Spilanthol can be concentrated in the ethanolic extract, which has once been found to contain 9.04% of total N-Akylamides yet 88.84% Spilanthol.[11]
The bioactives in Spilanthes are still being weeded out, but they appear to belong to the N-Akylamide class of molecules and Spinathol appears to be the bioactive currently seen as the 'primary' bioactive
Spilanthes Acmella may inhibit the CYP2E1 enzyme, as 0.067mM of Spilanthol has been shown to inhibit 55% and 75% of CYP2E1 activity in human liver microsomes and expressed 2E1 enzymes, respectively.[12]
Spilanthes has been investigated for its pain relieving effects since it was observed that consuming a salad made from the leaves numbed the tongue.[13] The bioactive Spilanthol is well absorbed through the skin,[14] When applied intracutaneously, 10% and 20% Spilanthes Acmella produced 70.36% and 87.02% anesthesia within 5 minutes and when compared to 2% xylocaine as active control (which produced 97.22% anesthesia within 2 minutes) Spilanthes underperformed.[13]
Other possible bioactives include Acmellonate, which has demonstrated in isolation a weak numbing effect on the tongue.[3]
Possible pain killing effects when applied topically, apparently numbs the tongue when the herb itself is eaten as a salad
Spilanthes Acmella has once been demonstrated to inhibit Pancreatic Lipase activity when an ethanolic extract of the flowers were used, and Pancreatic Lipase was inhibited 40% in vitro at 2mg/mL Spilanthes.[15] It was compared to and significantly outperformed by Aframomum meleguetta (90% inhibition), also known as Alligator Pepper, where even 0.75mg/mL inhibited more pancreatic lipase than Spilanthes.[15]
Spilanthes Acmella appears to have endothelium-dependent vasorelaxant properties, with an ethyl acetate fraction possessing an EC50 value of 76.1ng/mL.[16] This extract has been shown previously to possess a Scopoletin content, which is both an anti-oxidant and vasorelaxant;[17] this may be the bioactive in Spilanthes underlying vasorelaxation.
Hexane and Chloroform extracts of Spilanthes Acmella appear to suppress Nitric Oxide production in stimulated macrophages at 80mcg/mL by 72% and 85% respectively, and isolated Spilanthol appears to dose-dependently prevent macrophage activation (assessed by nitric oxide and morphology after LPS stimulation) with 90uM reducing Nitric Oxide production to 60% and 360uM nearing 20% production.[18] These inhibitory properties were accompanied by less iNOS and COX2 mRNA and protein content, less cytokine production from macrophages, and less NF-kB activation in the nucleus (90uM and 180uM reducing activation to 57% and 38% of control); these were thought to all be secondary to general anti-oxidant properties.[18]
Possible anti-inflammatory effects, otherwise unexplored in animal models
Spilanthes Acmella confers aphrodisiac effects in male rats dose-dependently improving mount latency and frequency, intromission latency and frequency, and improvements in ejaculation frequency and decreasing the post-ejaculatory interval (remission).[1] Although exact quantification of these improvements was not given, estimates derived from graphs suggest that after 28 days of 150mg/kg, the improvements were reductions in mount latency (51%), intromission latency (47%), post-ejaculatory latency (48%) and increases in mount frequency (110%), intromission frequency (amount of entries into female within 30 minutes of observation; 350% increase, from 2 to 9), ejaculation frequency (amount of ejaculations in 30 minutes; 66% improvement) . These benefits were more significant 28 days after supplementation relative to 14 days, suggesting a build-up effect.[1]
In regards to pro-erectile properties, one study which established a 293% increase in the penile erection index (PEI) to Viagra (5mg/kg) noted a 202% increase with Spilanthes Acmella[1] and appears to still exist up to 2 weeks after supplement cessation; suggesting long elimination rates of the active compounds, as when measured 14 days after cessation the Viagra group normalized and the highest dose of 150mg/kg Spilanthes remained 177% above baseline.[1] These effects were dose-dependent in nature, built up over 28 days (more potency on day 28 of supplementation relative to day 14), and a subsequent in vitro test in DS-1 cells noted that the increase in Nitric Oxide was 52% as potent as Viagra at the same dose.[1]
Appears to beneficially influence all parameters of male sexuality to a degree more than Viagra except for pro-erectile properties, of which Viagra outperformed. Preliminary evidence suggests that it is fairly potent
With controls at 1.73 ± 0.11 ng/mL testosterone, supplementation increased testosterone levels by 20%, 68%, and 115% at 50mg/kg bodyweight, 100mg/kg and 150mg/kg respectively after 28 days of supplementation.[1]
At least one study suggesting increases in testosterone after supplementation
With control at 1.41 ± 0.09 mIU/mL Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), FSH increased 23%, 79%, and 120% at doses of 50mg/kg bodyweight, 100mg/kg and 150mg/kg respectively of the ethanolic extract.[1]
With control at 4.63 ± 0.11 mIU/mL for luteinizing hormone (LH), it increased by 5%, 13%, and 48% at following consumption of 50, 100, or 150mg/kg of th ethnaolic extract of Spilanthese Acmella.[1]
Spilanthes Acmella has been touted to have diuretic properties in Sri Lankan medicine,[19] and when the flowers were tested at oral doses of 500, 1000, or 1500mg/kg in rats with 13mg/kg furosemide as an active control the highest dose of Spilanthes Acmella induced urine output within 1 hour after ingestion with similar potency to furosemide (523% relative to 405% with Furosemide) yet continued to have potency over 5 hours, eventually outperforming Furosemide in overall urine output.[19] This diuretic effect by the highest dose was accompanied by an increase in urinary sodium (51%) and potassium (213%) although the ratio did not appear significantly altered, and a decrease in urinary pH existed with no changes in proteinurea, glucoseurea, or urine color.[19]
Appears to be a very potent diuretic when the flowers are consumed at high doses, stronger than furosemide in one study
In studies on rats using dosages of up to 150mg/kg bodyweight, no toxic effects or hinderances to functionality are noted with an ethanolic extract over 28 days of supplementation.[1] 10-fold this dose (1500mg/kg) ethanolic extract of the flowering buds with similar bioactives has failed to exert toxicity acutely when given to rats in a single dose.[19]

HATE visiting the inlaws!!
No your not over reacting my in laws are the same except they like to pop up at our house anytime they want. we went through a bad fight almost a year ago and i refuse to let it happen again his mother is a control freak. i think every weekend is too much especially if its you and ur husbands only time alone they should be respectful to you and your marraige.
Wow. Sounds like we have the same exact in-laws...we might be related lol. I feel your pain though and I'm sorry that you're going through that. I know how frustrating it feels and my MIL does the same thing. CAn't stand it! I can't wait until we can move FAR away from her.
Proud Mommy to: ^Grace (Gracie) Anne ^, ^Elijah Ben-Oni^ ,Asher Jeziel 4.30.11-Our miracle! Emmaline Grace 2.8.13-Miracle #2!!!
Wow! Every weekend?? That's crazy. I tell my family that if they want to visit the kids, they know where we live. Other than special occasions, I do not go out of my way to visit the grandparents. And I actually love my MIL. I think weekends should be spent with daddy though, he works all week. Sometimes 12 hrs a day, so we like to hog our family time on the weekends. But they are welcome to stop by anytime. My MIL came by today and held the baby for about 45 mins. It was nice to have the free time. But I probably wouldn't allow that if they were the kind of people who came over all the time.

Yeah, wearing out your welcome ought to be in their vocabulary. My "MIL" lives next freakin door, and once she walked right in the house and into our bedroom unannounced!! When we were in bed, of course... some people have no sense of boundaries. She has accused me of keeping her from having a relationship with my kids too. As if..she is in the middle of so much she should not be yet her grandson's second birthday she would not come to see him at all even though she was sitting at the house next door and her son took her a piece of the cake.
I have decided that every set of in laws has to be crossed at some point. They will still drive you crazy, but at some point you decide you have to quit trying to get along and try to preserve some of your sanity.
Every weekend? Madness.
You need this board. and boundries..serious serious boundries...

I feel like my MIL is too involved in her adult kids' lives. They are all 35-39 yrs old too! She just can't let go. When we moved to our house a few yrs ago, she tried to make this her 2nd home...getting all comfy and making dinner plans here. My BIL and SIL put the kabosh on that and set her straight. They are great buffers for us. If it weren't for them, I'd lose my mind. MIL & FIL are coming back to the US in a few months to visit. EEK!

With my hubby being deployed, I have had to battle the in laws and parents on my own. My biggest issue was that his Mom always implied I need the help, as if, after raising the first, I'm not capable of properly caring for the second. It's so hard not to get totally aggravated. I finally sat down with her two weeks ago and explained that just as much as she enjoys her time, I enjoy mine. I offered that she could come see the baby one day during the week [when my oldest is at his art class] and that helps me have a few moments to myself, and I take them both to Grandma's every other Saturday. It helps a little to do it on my terms and allows me a little time to do something for myself... like shave my legs :) Maybe just try communicating your feelings and offering up a compromise. Tell DH that the only Mama he needs to worry about pleasing is his baby mama! :)

Crash.Net IndyCar News
Servia breaks victory duck
29 August 2005
Oriol Servia broke his Champ Car World Series victory duck in the most bizarre fashion when rookie Timo Glock was ordered by Champ Car officials to move over and let the Spaniard past on the final lap of Sunday's Molson Indy Montreal.
Glock was adjudged to have missed the final chicane on two occasions as he and Servia tussled for the lead in the closing laps but despite the obvious disappointment for Glock, the young German complied with his orders and allowed Servia through half way round the final tour. Glock retained second place with Justin Wilson completing the podium.
"It feels awesome," Servia said afterwards, "it feels awesome. I'm not going to mention how many times I thought I deserve the win, blah, blah, blah, because the list is so long. But it happened today. It happened because Bruno's accident, which is something none of us wanted. But, you know, I was really happy that decided I was the one to go in the car. I know Bruno was really happy they chose me.
"Since day one, the team has shown great, great support for me, all the guys in the crew, all the owners, and PacifiCare. It just feels extremely good to be able to show them that they did the right choice trusting me. I'm really; really glad I'm able to give them this win. I hope first of many."
Sunday's race had behaved itself perfectly through the first 58 laps as polesitter Sebastien Bourdais – chasing his fourth straight Champ Car World World Series – led from the front on a caution free day. RuSPORT ace Wilson made one serious charge at Bourdais at the end of his first fuel stint, but the Frenchman never let the Brit get that close again, building a six-second lead with 20 laps to go as the series points leader appeared to have the field covered.
The Molson Champ Car Grand Prix of Montreal then revealed its sinister side on lap 58, starting when Ricardo Sperafico suffered a rear-wing failure at the end of the final straight, sending him into the wall near the entrance to Pit Lane. The wing vaulted high over the trailing car of Paul Tracy, but unluckily for AJ Allmendinger it landed right in front of the #10 Western Union Lola, cutting a tyre and forcing the reigning 'Rookie-of-the-Year' title holder into the pits as the track went yellow.
The caution period sent everyone save Glock and Allmendinger down Pit Lane when the pits opened, where more problems befell the title hopefuls. Bourdais had a tyre mounting problem, dropping him two spots in the order, while Tracy had bigger problems. Entering the pits in fourth spot, the Canadian star missed his entry to his pit stall, came in too close to the wall and bumped one of his crew members. He had to be pushed back and lined up again, costing him nine positions.
Glock and Allmendinger were set to take the restart in the lead, but Allmendinger was sent to the back of the restart line since his trip into the pits with the flat tyre came under a closed pit. That ruling moved Wilson into second with Servia in third and Bourdais charging in fourth when the green flag flew on lap 64.
Servia soon made his pass on Wilson for second and immediately got the chance to climb on Glock's rear wing when the yellow banner flew again on lap 66 as Rodolfo Lavin dropped a shock cover directly in the racing line. Glock led on the restart and did yeoman's work in fighting off Servia before the activities on the next-to-last lap, when he cut the final chicane once too often.
The young German still picked up a career-best finish when he slotted in ahead of Wilson after allowing Servia's rule-ordered pass, placing second and scoring the first podium finish of his career.
"It was a really tough race for me, especially because I had to start from eleventh," Glock said. "I used a lot of 'push to pass' at the beginning to get Nelson Philippe and Jimmy Vasser. At the end I had two shots left. When I was leading the race, I saw Oriol behind me. I know he will try to get me because he was second and third so many times and he wants to win. That was clear for me. I mean, it's disappointing. In one way it's disappointing, and on the other way it's a great weekend for us, to be on the podium after all the races without luck."
Wilson rounded out the podium for RuSPORT while Bourdais settled for fourth. Wilson earned his second podium finish of the year with the result and his first since his maiden win at Portland, although the Brit does have seven top-five runs this year. Bourdais set the fastest lap of the race and led a race-high 59 laps in widening his margin in the championship chase to 61 points with four races to run. The 2004 series champion finished on the lead lap again and has run all but one of the scheduled laps during the 2005 schedule.
Servia moved up to second in the standings with his win, leapfrogging the star-crossed Tracy who fell to third in the title hunt after his eighth-place finish. Alex Tagliani rounded out the top five in front of his home crowd while PKV Racing team-mates Cristiano da Matta and Jimmy Vasser chased him home, finishing sixth and seventh respectively.
Tracy finished eighth while Allmendinger rebounded from his penalty to take the ninth spot, It was a finish that allowed him to move back into the top five in the season standings however, as he claimed a one-point advantage over Mario Dominguez, who finished tenth on Sunday.
Servia became the sixth different winner in the Champ Car World Series this year and joins Wilson as drivers who have gained their first series victories this year. Glock became the eleventh different driver to finish on the podium this season and takes a commanding lead in the Roshfrans 'Rookie-of-the-Year' standings, 27 points ahead of Ronnie Bremer.

Jennifer Hudson Welcomes a Baby Boy
E! Online and PEOPLE have both confirmed the news.
David Daniel Otunga Jr. was named after his dad, Hudson's fiancé. The couple decided to let the gender of their bundle of joy be a surprise, so they were sure to have both pink and blue clothes on hand for the birth.
"The baby is beautiful and perfect," Hudson's rep Lisa Kasteler told PEOPLE. "His parents are ecstatic."
Little David weighed in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces.
Hudson never actually announced she was pregnant or not, but the tell-tale signs (namely, a bump) blew her cover months ago.
The Hudson family has endured great hardship in the past year, with the murder of the singer's mother, brother and nephew at the hands of her sister's estranged husband.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Hudson moved from the Windy City after the crimes.
It's a Boy!
Son Isaiah Timothy was the third child for the couple.

I hope it goes without saying that we all wish Jennifer and her new boy the best; therefore, the irony here is that the term "bastard" means just that: a child born out of wedlock. So then why is it automatically assumed to be derogatory?
Social ettiquette and logic don't always jive.

God's greatest gift is that of a child. To those who truly wanted children in their lives and remain childless know this to be true. To the happy parents anad their loved ones, Congratulations and may you always cherish your bundle of joy!

Who are you to judge this person? Belittle the way she was brought up? Some can not afford luxurious houses and must live in what they can afford to. Jennifer has risen from poverty, inner city life, and then the horrible crime that was committed to her family. She has the blessing of her child now. I'm sure she wouldve loved to have her family around her during this blessed event. I am sure they were there in spirit. Please like the blog says before you post be classy. The horrible comments in my opinion are in poor taste.

CONGRATS to this couple!
WHAT ROCK DID YOU CRAWL FROM UNDER? Black people are not the only ones who have babies "out of wedlock". WHAT IT'S YOU! You don't have to support her baby. Why are you even commenting on this thread, if you have issues with "Black" people OR IS IT THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH "SUCCESSFUL" BLACK PEOPLE!!! Now that explains everything.

First of all congrats Jen, you are a beautiful person inside and out, you have come a long way from your idol days. I know your heart is sad because your mother will never be there to hold her first born by you,but don`t fret jen she has already had her grandchild in her arms,and right now she is with you even though you cant touch her,and to all these color haters,how would you feel if when you die,and made it to Heaven`s gate,and there was an old black gentleman sitting inside the gate to let you go in would you take hell over Heaven because he was the wrong color for you. I have a bi-racial grandchild, God does not make mistakes,I love my grandchild with all my heart.So please the next time you are hating,ask yourself Heaven or hell.God bless
