Real Housewives of New Jersey's Melissa Gorga: "I Was Born To Be A Mommy"Joanna Mazewski
Even though it's been a few good months since the Real Housewives of New Jersey were last on air with their much-talked about reunion on Bravo, the Garden State ladies are still making headlines. Unlike the women from D.C., Miami, and even New York, Melissa, Teresa, Jacqueline, Caroline and Kathy still have everyone gossiping about what they're doing, what they're wearing and what they're Twittering about.
While Melissa Gorga only joined the cast this past season, she's already one of the most recognized names in the entire Housewife series. The gorgeous mama and budding singer just screams New Jersey without uttering a single word with her style, her moves, and of course the sassy but sweet girl-next-door attitude.
Babble had the opportunity to talk to this mother-of-three about her kids and asked her a few tough questions about her kids and social media, pre-teen fashions and not only having it all, but doing it all, as well.
Babble: Pre-teens scare me. The cyber-bullying, the clothes, and the cattiness are some of the things I am not looking forward to when my own daughter reaches that age. Your daughter Antonia is 6 now, so she still has some time to go, but as a mother, do you think it's right for some young children to have their own social-networking accounts on Facebook and Twitter? There are some really mean people out there and no matter how hard you try to monitor their accounts, some form of cyber-bullying is bound to happen. What are your thoughts?
Melissa Gorga: I experienced cyber-bullying first hand from putting my life on a reality show. Its nasty and its disgusting and you can't imagine why someone would sit behind a computer and hurt someone's feelings, but It happens. I personally don't think social networking is a place for young children. They have so much time to do it when they get older, why subject them to it at such an early age?
Babble: Johnny Depp's daughter Lilly-Rose Depp was recently photographed by X17 dressed, let's say a bit mature for a girl who is only 12-years-old. As a mother, do you believe that the "anything goes" attitude for pre-teens is OK, or should they dress a little more like their age? When it comes to your own daughter's wardrobe do you find yourself being liberal or conservative about what she wears?
Melissa Gorga: I grew up in a very strict household where I wasn't allowed to go to the mall unless I had something to buy or leave the house unless my Dad approved of what I was wearing. No, I don't believe in the "anything goes attitude," you need to teach them at an early age to listen to you and trust your judgment. My daughter is only 6 but I can only imagine what it will be like when she gets to that age, but that's all part of motherhood. That's why I love being a Mommy. Antonia is a girly girl. She still allows me to dress her in the poofy skirts and put the big bows in her hair. I have a feeling that when she gets older I am definitely going to be more conservative. I want to keep her in the poofy skirts and hair bows as long as she lets me. If it was up to me, she would play with Barbie dolls until she's 18.
Babble: I've come across a few sites that have mentioned that you're a mother that does it all: you cook, you clean, and you take care of your children with minimal help. A lot of mothers seem to have this whole "I Don't Know How She Does It," syndrome going on which is great, but can also be exhausting. When your three children are pulling you in three different directions, what do you do to calm the situation down?
Melissa Gorga: I have people come up to me all the time and ask me how I do it. To be honest, I don't think about it, I just do it. I think I was born to be a mommy. Its all I ever wanted since the time I started high school. I dreamed of getting married and having babies. I am a go getter, if an opportunity arises such as the housewives I am going to take it and figure out a way to do it all. No matter what, my husband and my children will always come first to me. If my kids are pulling me in 3 different directions, I just one by one try to please them all. I am very lucky to have respectful kids that are really over all great kids. I am definitely more of the disciplinarian. They are with me all day long so when Joe gets home, he doesn't want to spend time disciplining them, its playtime. I have a feeling though that as they get older that will change. Joe already teases about how when they get older there is going to be bars on their windows.
Babble: With my own two children, I try to limit the amount of television they watch and like most moms, try to monitor the type of programs they watch as well (basically it's just a few episodes of Disney Junior in the mornings so I can get my writing done). What are the television rules in the Gorga household?
Melissa Gorga: I am not big on the kids watching TV, I never was. I am definately not that mom that turns the TV on and plops their kids in front of it all day long. They come home from school, do their homework and they can watch a show or two while I make dinner but after dinner its family time. Our schedules get very busy so we really take as much time to enjoy them when we can. Obviously Joey is a baby, I do allow him to watch Elmo when he wants to.
Babble: Let's talk celebrity babies. You were very traditional in naming your three children after their family and heritage. What do you think of Blue Ivy Carter's name? Should they have gone a more traditional route and named their daughter after their hometowns, like Brooklyn Houston?
Melissa Gorga: I actually like the name Blue Ivy, although I might have reversed it to Ivy Blue. I don't have a problem when celebrities pick creative names. They are artists and that's part of who they are.

Cache Sheriff: Father, kids safely off Wellsville Mountains
A father and his two boys were safely retrieved from Cache County's Wellsville Mountains Monday night.
A Cache County sheriff's dispatcher confirmed the Nibley man and his children, ages 5 and 9, were unharmed and back home with family early Tuesday after becoming lost early Monday afternoon.
Sheriff's Lt. Chad Jensen said deputies were dispatched to the mountains near Logan about 12:30 p.m. Monday after receiving a 911 call that hikers had become lost on the sun-baked, rugged slopes.
The father and children had hiked into the area Sunday and spent the night, but on their way back down the mountain on Monday they drifted off the trail and lost their way. Authorities were concerned because the three were running low on water with temperatures rising into the high 90s.
Search and rescuer crews located the three late Monday afternoon and after checking them out and making sure they were hydrated, a helicopter began lifting them down the mountain about 6 p.m.

Serve with celeriac mash
Thickly peel and chop a small celeriac, then boil with 3 small potatoes. Drain when tender and mash with butter and plenty of seasoning.
Healthy benefits
Venison, an excellent source of protein, is low in calories. It also supplies an easily absorbed form of iron, so is ideal for pregnant and menstruating women. Venison contains good levels of the energising B vitamins – a standard portion provides 60 per cent of our daily B12 requirement.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, cook the venison for 5 mins, then turn over and cook for 3-5 mins more, depending on how rare you like it and the thickness of the meat (cook for 5-6 mins on each side for well done). Lift the meat from the pan and set aside to rest.
- Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan, then pour in the stock, redcurrant jelly and garlic. Stir over quite a high heat to blend everything together, then add the blackberries and carry on cooking until they soften. Serve with the venison, celeriac mash (see below) and broccoli.

Guilty verdict
Barbara Gayle, Justice Coordinator
Entertainer Vybz Kartel and three other men were yesterday found guilty in the Home Circuit Court for the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams after the jury had deliberated for two hours.
The men are to be sentenced on March 27.
The other accused, Shane Williams, who was represented by attorney-at-law Everton Dewar, was freed.
The trial, which lasted 65 days, was said to be one of the longest in the region. The men will be sentenced to life imprisonment and the judge will recommend how many years they will serve before they are eligible for parole. In the case of murder, the parole time can run to more than 15 years.
Clive 'Lizard' Williams' sister, who was in court and was a witness in the case, wept when she heard the verdict.
The 11-member jury said they had arrived at a verdict by a majority 10-1. They had returned a unanimous verdict for Williams of not guilty.
The Crown led evidence that on August 16, 2011, Williams was taken to Kartel's Havendale, St Andrew, house where he was beaten to death over two missing guns.
circumstantial evidence
His body has not been found but the prosecution relied on common design, circumstantial evidence, voice notes and text messages to prove the case against the men.
After the jury had reached their verdict, Justice Campbell thanked the jurors for their serious approach to the case and the tremendous personal sacrifice they made.
He remarked that judges do not usually give comment on the outcome of a case but "I will say, you could not have done anything else on this evidence presented here."
Defence lawyers said the men will be appealing the case.

History of a Pleasure Seekerby Richard Mason
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the acclaimed author of The Drowning People ("A literary sensation" —The New York Times Book Review) and Natural Elements ("A magnum opus" —The New Yorker), an opulent, romantic coming-of-age drama set at the height of Europe's belle époque, written in the grand tradition with a lightness of touch that is wholly modern and original.
The novel opens in Amsterdam at the turn of the last century. It moves to New York at the time of the 1907 financial crisis and proceeds onboard a luxury liner headed for Cape Town.
It is about a young man — Piet Barol — with an instinctive appreciation for pleasure and a gift for finding it. Piet's father is an austere administrator at Holland's oldest university. His mother, a singing teacher, has died — but not before giving him a thorough grounding in the arts of charm.
Piet applies for a job as tutor to the troubled son of Europe's leading hotelier: a child who refuses to leave his family's mansion on Amsterdam's grandest canal. As the young man enters this glittering world, he learns its secrets — and soon, quietly, steadily, finds his life transformed as he in turn transforms the lives of those around him.
History of a Pleasure Seeker is a brilliantly written portrait of the senses, a novel about pleasure and those who are in search of it; those who embrace it, luxuriate in it, need it; and those who deprive themselves of it as they do those they love. It is a book that will beguile and transport you — to another world, another time, another state of being.
"The title of Mason's latest misleads, not only because his story details an interlude in a young man's life, not a history, but also because this man is less a seeker than a receiver. The operative word, however, is pleasure, which comes in abundance to both the reader and the seductively handsome Piet Barol. The story opens in Amsterdam, 1907, during the belle epoque, which Mason evokes with delightful period detail. Piet, at 24, is hired as a tutor for the deeply troubled son of the wealthy Maarten Vermeulen-Sickerts, a devout Calvinist whose belief in predetermination guides him to a degree that he conceals even from his cherished wife, Jacobina. Their obsessive son, Egbert, is tormented by invisible demons; his suffering adds weight to a tale that is otherwise amusingly, at times stubbornly, lighthearted. No one, including Jacobina or Egbert's two older sisters, fails to notice Piet's allure. He is bright, talented, and ambitious, but he trusts those qualities less than he trusts his sexuality, which leads him to many enthusiastic encounters with women, including Jacobina, and men, and helps him slide haplessly into passivity. Mason (Natural Elements) writes with sensuality and humor, but the novel fails to deeply satisfy, especially at its forced and hollow end. Agent: Anderson Literary Management." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"Beautifully observed, perfectly paced, genuinely sexy, and in the end, a terrifically fun read. Mason's ability to inhabit the inner voices of the servants and those they serve lends the book a rich realism." The Boston Globe
An opulent, romantic novel, written in the grand manner, set at the height of Europe's belle epoque, about a handsome young man in his mid-twenties — a golden boy who secures a position as a tutor in the household of one of the most prominent bourgeois families in Amsterdam and his entry into a world of moneyed glamour and dangerous temptations.
Piet Barol, blue-eyed, dark-haired, seductive and seductively charged, enters this magnificent world, and inexorably learns the hidden truths of this vastly rich, secretive family and, through the course of the novel, is profoundly transformed as his charm and sexual pull transform each of their lives. In the heady exhilaration of this new world, amid delights and temptations that Piet has only dreamed of, he discovers that some of the intimacies he has cultivated are dangerous liaisons indeed.... By the author of The Drowning People .

The HT-1R is the perfect studio and practice amp, packing all the great tone and innovative features of the award-winning HT-5 valve amp into a 1 Watt format. In making the HT-1R ideally suited to home and studio use, the aim was to develop a valve amp which sounded full and toneful even at the lowest volume level.
Working with the Bass, Middle and Treble controls, the ISF control gives you access to infinite new sound possibilities on the HT-1R.
This fully interactive control allows you to infinitely adjust the response of the tone control network between any of the traditional voicings. In this way you can design your own sound and truly find the sound in your head.
Click here to find out more about the ISF Feature
The HT-1R has two channels available for selection, a Clean channel and an Overdrive channel. Using the Gain control while on the Clean channel you are able to deliver everything from a clean sound through to a crunch tone. Alternatively you can select the Overdrive channel and again using the Gain control, change from a clean sound on the edge of breakup right through to a distorted lead tone.
The HT-1R has a fully specified speaker emulated output which further enhances the studio credentials and allows any guitarist to get amazing valve tone straight to tape or disk, or through headphones.
The HT-1R power amplifier is a low powered push-pull design which produces the crunch and break-up characteristics of a traditional 100W output stage but at a much lower volume. This is achieved by the use of an ECC82 dual triode in push-pull configuration producing 1 Watt output, which is rich in valve harmonics and compression, sounding full and toneful even at the lowest volume level.
Featuring an 8inch speaker, the HT-1R really is a perfect combo amp for home or studio use. The aim was to create an amp which sounded full and toneful even at the lowest volume level.
A stereo MP3 / Line Input has been added to the HT-1R allowing the user to play a backing track or similar, through the amp while practising / recording.
An 8Ω speaker output which allows you to run the amp into an external speaker cabinet of your choice, making the HT-1R a very practical choice.
The HT-1R's Reverb control sets the overall level of the reverb effect. With the control fully counter clockwise there will be no reverb. Turning the control clockwise will increase the amount of reverb.

Andrew Jenks
My name is Andrew Jenks, and I am a 24-year-old filmmaker.
When I was nineteen years old I moved into a nursing home for over a month and documented what life was like when you are near the end. What began as a low-budget summer project turned into a feature documentary that went on to premiere on HBO and play in theaters around the world. As I received emails and letters from viewers who profoundly related to the senior citizens in the film, I couldn't help but think, "I also want to tell the stories of my generation. I want to be a filmmaker that is able to capture what my generation thinks, how they act and what they ultimately stand for." This became the inspiration behind my new MTV show, World Of Jenks.
Along with a small camera crew, I embed myself in various worlds and live in the shoes of people my age from all walks of life. I try to understand what is at stake in their world, and ultimately, what is at stake in their lives. Over the last six months I have lived with an MMA cage fighter, a young man with autism, an animal rescuer, a rapper, a poker player, even a NFL cheerleader. On day one of filming, I always have an idea of what the story is for each character. I have an idea of what is at stake. But I always leave with a different perspective and thus a story that I never saw coming.
Every young person I meet has a unique way of speaking to our generation. Their story is personal but their message is universal: to make a difference and leave their own unique stamp on society. 'World of Jenks' represents the voice of a generation and there is no better place to showcase this perspective than MTV.

Barcelona-Style Rice
- 2 chicken thighs
- 2 chicken legs
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Spanish chorizo sausage
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 (14-ounce) can whole, peeled tomatoes, drained and hand crushed
- 1 cup Spanish rice, short to medium grain
- 1 teaspoon saffron threads
- 4 jumbo shrimp, peeled
- 2 lobster tails, split
- 6 littleneck clams, scrubbed
- 1/2 cup frozen sweet peas, thawed
- Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, for garnish
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry. Mix the oregano and paprika with some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken and stick it in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a paella pan or wide shallow skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is beginning to smoke, add the chicken, skin side down, and brown all over, turning with tongs. Add the chorizo and continue to cook until the oil is a vibrant red color. Remove the chicken and sausage to a platter lined with paper towels.
Return the pan to the stove and lower the heat to medium. Now make a sofrito by sautéing the garlic and onion in the oil that remains in the pan for 7 to 10 minutes, until they begin to brown. Add the tomatoes and cook it all down until the mixture caramelizes a bit and the flavors meld. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the rice, stirring to coat the grains. Stir in the saffron. Pour in 3 cups warm water and simmer for 10 minutes, gently moving the pan around so the rice cooks evenly and absorbs the liquid. Do not cover or stir constantly as you would a risotto.
Add the shrimp, lobster, clams, and the reserved chicken and chorizo. Give the paella a couple of good stirs to tuck all the pieces in there, then just let it simmer, without stirring, until the rice is al dente, about 15 minutes. Scatter the peas on top and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, until the paella looks fluffy and moist. (The ideal paella has a toasted rice bottom called socarrat.) Then let it rest off the heat for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

HOUSTON, Aug. 25 -- Energy prices continued to tumble Aug. 24 with crude dropping 2% to an 11-week low below $72/bbl in the New York market after the National Association of Realtors reported sales of existing US homes plunged 27% to a 15-year low in July with expiration of the home-buying tax credit. Natural gas prices dipped 0.3%.
It marked the fifth successive session the price of the front-month crude contract has declined. "Dismal housing data set the tone for markets," said analysts in the Houston office of Raymond James & Associates Inc. "Consequently, the Dow [Jones Industrial Average] made a brief appearance below the 10,000 mark before rebounding slightly to finish the day down 1.3%." Energy prices followed the equity market's reaction to macro economic concerns and growing petroleum stockpiles that could signal a second dip in the recession.
However, analysts at Standard New York Securities Inc., part of the Standard Bank Group Ltd., reported "a brief revival" of crude prices in early trading Aug. 25, "partly due to dollar weakness." Nevertheless, they said, "Dollar weakness has been abating, and global growth concerns now weigh on oil prices."
Low home sales are just the latest in "the trend of macroeconomic data coming out worse than expected," said Olivier Jakob at Petromatrix, Zug, Switzerland. Compared with the same period last year, sales are down heavily across the regions. "And that is despite the fixed mortgage rates falling to a record low during July (30-year rate)," he said.
"Given the continued deterioration in the macroeconomic data, we will continue to focus on the directional movement of the Standard & Poor's 500 index, as the US petroleum stocks are too high to fuel any strong positive sentiment," Jakob said.
In other news, Hurricane Danielle "is nothing to worry about as it will stay in the Mid-Atlantic," Jakob said, "The storm off Cape Verde will be named Earl and is expected to become a strong hurricane (like Danielle), but it is expected to head north and should not be an issue for oil assets in the US Gulf of Mexico. However the National Hurricane Center currently has under watch a new disturbance that has developed right in the US gulf." For now there is low probability it will be upgraded to tropical storm status.
US inventories
The Energy Information Administration said Aug. 25 commercial US benchmark crude inventories jumped by 4.1 million bbl to 358.3 million bbl in the week ended Aug. 20—"the third straight rise as we exit a relatively nonexistent driving season," said Raymond James analysts. The consensus on Wall Street was for a more modest increase of 300,000 bbl. Gasoline stocks escalated 2.3 million bbl to 225.6 million bbl, whereas the market was expecting a decrease of 500,000 bbl. Both finished gasoline inventories and blending components inventories increased last week. Distillate fuel inventories climbed 1.8 million bbl to 225.6 million bbl, exceeding traders' expectations of a 1 million bbl build.
Imports of crude into the US increased by 320,000 b/d to 9.9 million b/d last week. In the 4 weeks through Aug. 20, crude imports averaged 9.6 million b/d, up by 589,000 b/d from the comparable period in 2009.
The input of crude into US refineries, however, declined by 348,000 b/d to 14.9 million b/d in the latest week, with units operating at 87.7% capacity. Gasoline production increased to 9.6 million b/d, while distillate fuel production increased to 4.4 million b/d.
The EIA weekly data have shown for the "past 12 consecutive weeks," light product inventories of gasoline, distillate, and jet fuel have risen "due to high production levels, increased gasoline imports (including blend stocks), and lackluster demand," said Jacques Rousseau, managing director of equity research, RBC Capital Markets, Reston, Va. Gasoline consumption last week was 3% higher than the comparable week last year, he said.
"After a strong second quarter, refining margins have declined sharply in August due to rising supply and lackluster demand. As a result of this weakness, we expect some refiners to lower production levels this month and coupled with the upcoming fall turnaround season (that starts in early September), lower supply should begin to reduce the current refined product inventory overhang, a potential near term positive for refining margins and stocks," Rousseau said.
He said, "We estimate that the average US refining margin increased from approximately $7.27/bbl to $8.77/bbl over the past week (vs. an average of approximately $12/bbl in 2008 and $9/bbl in 2009)."
Energy prices
The October contract for benchmark US light, sweet crudes dropped $1.47 to $71.63/bbl Aug. 24 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The November contract fell $1.37 to $72.36/bbl. On the US spot market, West Texas Intermediate at Cushing, Okla., broke its usual lock-step with the front-month crude futures contract and instead was down $1.89 to $71.21/bbl. Heating oil for September delivery lost 1.97¢ to $1.94/gal on NYMEX. Reformulated blend stock for oxygenate blending for the same month fell 3.16¢ to $1.84/gal.
The September natural gas contract was down 2.7¢ to $4.04/MMbtu on NYMEX. On the US spot market, gas at Henry Hub, La., dropped 8¢ to $4.05/MMbtu.
In London, the October IPE contract for North Sea Brent crude fell $1.24 to $72.46/bbl. Gas oil for September lost $8.75 to $617.25/tonne.
The average price for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' basket of 12 reference crudes was down $1.24 to $69.69/bbl.

ACM Prajin Jantong has resigned from the board of PTT Plc, fanning speculation that he will join the Prayuth Chan-Ocha cabinet.
The air force chief, a classmate of Gen Prayuth, holds three positions on the PTT board: independent director, chairman of the nominating committee and member of the corporate governance committee.
ACM Prajin cited "business engagements" as the reason for his resignation, effective on Saturday, PTT president and CEO Pailin Chuchottaworn told the Stock Exchange of Thailand after the market closed on Friday.
Thai media speculated that ACM Prajin would be appointed transport minister while Narongchai Akrasanee would take the energy portfolio.
Visanu Krue-ngam, an adviser to the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), said on Friday that it would take a while before the cabinet was formed. Nothing could be done until the prime minister is royally endorsed, he explained.
Gen Prayuth was appointed unanimously as prime minister by the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) on Thursday. He is the first coup leader to also serve as premier since Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat in 1957.
Mr Visanu also said it would take some time to approach competent people to join the cabinet and verify their qualifications.
He said he himself had not been "officially" asked to join the cabinet.
The PTT board on Friday also approved a reshuffle in which Supattanapong Punmeechaow, senior executive vice-president for corporate strategy, will become CEO and president of PTT Global Chemical Plc, a subsidiary of the majority state-owned energy conglomerate.
Atikom Terbsiri, senior executive vice-president for petrochemicals and refining, will become CEO and president of Thaioil Plc, a PTT refining affiliate.

On The Economy: Inflation Accelerates; Fed Rumors Rise
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On July 12, 2013 @ 3:47 pm In Economic Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
July 12, 2013
The morning's major economic news:
— Inflation. Wholesale prices rose 0.8 percent in June from May, fueled by a 2.9 percent surge in the price of energy products, . As drivers can confirm, a 7.2 percent jump in the cost of gasoline was responsible for most of that boost.
the overall increase in wholesale prices was "more than expected" and may be a sign that the economy is picking up speed — which in turn could mean that the Federal Reserve will soon feel it can stop trying to give the economy a boost.

In their most recent article, DeWall, Deckman, Gailliot and Bushman (2010), present evidence indicating that glucose levels in the brain are related to violent and aggressive behavior. Across four studies they found that the consumption of sugar is related to alleviating aggressive and violent outbursts. Well, if that's true, I need to eat some ice cream or drink a large soda because I'm pissed and not in the British sense!
There are a number of reasons why I find myself in a foul disposition this cold, winter evening in this weird Pennsylvania town were Jesus was born. It's not because of the Whoville-like quality of the place driving me mad. It's not the drivers. Its not even the lack of large displays of beer and wine in the supermarkets where such things belong. No. I'm pissed off because some yo-yo ripped-off my last post (see Sexy Anxiety Relief or New Anti-Terrorism Measures: TSA promises to "Love you longtime" this Holiday Season.). Some dude name Balaji copied my last article into an anxiety-relief Web site without asking me first, and then preceded to make some of the worst editing mistakes that I've ever seen. A three-year-old could do better. I even commented on it on the Web page (follow link below to see). Honestly, I wouldn't be so pissed about it if he/she had left the writing alone.
Pause for consumption of mass quantities of sugary beverage….Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Red dye #40 (i.e., Pennsylvania Butch Beer) is very tasty, addictive, and sugary—Starting to feel better.
Okay. Where was I? Oh, yes. So, the dude (I'm assume the a-hole is a guy) made all these changes and now it reads like shit. I couldn't believe it. Is this normal? Do people really do this? Steal work just to F it up? I even noticed that the blog has paid advertising on it. Does this mean this a-hole is making money off my work that he screwed up? If so, shouldn't I get a cut? What a prick!
Consuming more Red #40….
If there is anyone reading this post who has a couple of minutes to spare, please follow the link to the plagiarizing Web site and join me in criticizing the a-hole for stealing and ruining my post. It's easy to do, just post a comment on their blog in support of, well, me. If you can, I thank you in advance. I really appreciate it. I don't think this a-hole is going to learn that you shouldn't steel other people's work on his own—obviously. What he did is downright un-American and we need to let him know it!
Until next time, stay tuned for my next installment, when I go-off about the bullshit my wife and I are going through with the insurance people as we expect the arrival of our first-born. I'm filled with more hate and rage just thinking about it!

My new cherry finish table has loads of scratches on the shiny finish. The wood itself is fine but the shiny finish looks like someone took sandpaper and swirled it all over. This table is brand new and it's not something I want to strip. Is there some type of polish that buffs out those surface scratches?
Thank you!

Here are the recent answer to this question.
By Claudia-MD (Guest Post)01/17/2007
Old English makes a scratch cover in dark and light. You can get it in groceries, Walmart, KMart, Target, etc. It's like a polish and stain combined. I use it on my cherry dining table, and other antiques to cover/minimize the look of scratches and nicks.
By Laura Justice [2]01/14/2007
I would return the new table to the store-- it should not have that problem. When the new table arrives,if you have to assemble it-- make sure the table top is placed on a sheet at the least.
If you cannot return the table- you can talk to a wood worker-- for the best thing to do.
Thrifty Fun has been around so long that many of our pages have been reset several times. Archives are older versions of the page and the feedback that was provided then.
Someone just gave me a really nice Rattan Dining Room Set, but it has a lot of scratches, some very deep. Is there anything I can fill them in with? Someone suggested shoe polish but it seems to me like that might smear around when I use furniture polish on it. I am thinking of getting oen of those paint pens, but the deep scratches will still be there although not as visable. Any ideas?
Thanks :)

As you probably know, it's hard to break through as an actor these days. There are many talents out there so you need to have the little extra to be noticed. But there are many ways to increase your fame. One of the most old school new social media tricks is to make a viral video. Tits and ass is a sure winner. Accidents where people are in inch from dying seems to appeal to the general publics taste in humor too. But there is nothing, nothing except from Justin Bieber, that is more popular than super cute kitty cats doing silly things!
Here is a clip that we found as we were cleaning up in our archive the other day. It's from last summer when Matias didn't get any acting jobs and got himself a cat to boost his career. He named the cat Jorgen, and Jorgen was a naughty little boy.... more

JDBC 4.0 keeps moving forward
JDBC 4.0 has just completed public draft review and the EG is working on closing the last few issues. One of the interfaces that I expect to change signficantly is the SQLXML interface.
Here is a list of the major features being added to JDBC 4:
- ROWID Support
- National Character Set Support
- Additional SQLException sub classes
- Improved Blob/Clob support
- SQL XML support
- Ease of Development
- Ability to unwrap implementation classes to make use of vendor specific methods
- Auto loading of Driver class implementations
- Connection management enhancements
Some of the features have been enhanced in the current drops of Mustang (part of the specification evolution).
We have also spent a lot of time trying to clarify and improve the javadoc method and interface descriptions as well as various sections of the JDBC paper spec that have resulted in some confusion in the past for developers. We will continue to review and address as many issues that we can prior to the official release of Mustang.
As we wind down the spec work, we will also be focusing on addressing as many outstanding JDBC bugs as possible.

For a week following Jadin's death, Joe lay in bed, beating himself up, wondering what he could _ should _ have done differently to help his son. In the face of relentless bullying at high school, the openly gay 15-year-old had confessed to his parents six months earlier that he'd been having suicidal thoughts. Bell and his wife got their son into counseling, and Jadin appeared to be doing well. Then he hanged himself. Racked with guilt, Bell chided himself over scolding Jadin for smoking a few days before the hanging. Joe worried that he couldn't survive this grief. (AP Photo)

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. debt ceiling is set to rise by $1.2 trillion following a Senate vote on Thursday. Senators voted 44-52 on a measure that effectively endorsed President Barack Obama's request to increase the debt limit. The Republican-led House last week voted 239-176 to block Obama's request.

With multiple controversies, such as a marijuana scandal and a car accident, Justin Bieber, 18, finds himself stuck in the middle of the negative limelight once again.
Perez Hilton reports photos of the "Beauty and a Beat" singer surrounded by "blunts" and Codeine are making their way around the internet.
The pictures, which have not yet been published, show Bieber with pals Lil Za and Lil Twist rolling blunts at a table. There were also "double cups" present – a known way of consuming Codeine that was made popular by Lil Wayne.
According to TMZ Bieber's reps have stated that the singer does not use the drug. However, in other pictures Bieber is seen drinking out of the double cup, but the contents of the cup are not shown.
With recent pictures of the "Boyfriend" singer smoking weed have already been published, these new allegations put the singer in an even worse spotlight. Multiple reports say Bieber's closest family and crew are worried he's going to continue going down a dangerous path.
After the pictures of Bieber smoking marijuana were released, the singer tweeted a message to his fans saying, "Everyday growing and learning. trying to be better. u get knocked down, u get up," he wrote, "back on tour tomorrow. ready to see u all smile. time to do what im supposed to be doing. performing. #BELIEVEtour"
Bieber released his newest album, Believe Acoustic on Jan 29.

John Parris Sheahan of Dennysville joined Co. K of the 1st Maine Cavalry on August 23, 1863. He was 21 years old and a teacher at the time.
He was mustered out on April 3, 1864, to accept a commission as 1st lieutenant in the 31st Maine Infantry, where he served until July 15, 1865.
After the war, Sheahan earned a medical degree at Bowdoin College and practiced both medicine and dentistry, first in Frederick, Maryland, then in Edmunds, near his hometown of Dennysville in Washington County.

Posted by Derek
The InVivo Blog has a good article on a controversy in the blood-thinning market. Plavix (clopidogrel) has a very strong share of that, of course, but since Effient (prasugrel) was finally approved, Lilly and Dai-Ichii are looking to take as much of that market as they can. And one opening might be that not everyone responds similarly to Plavix.
In some cases, that's because there are some drug-drug interactions, a problem the FDA has recently addressed. The proton pump inhibitors, especially, are metabolized through the CYP2C19 pathway. That's a problem, since that enzyme is needed to convert clopidogrel into its active form (Plavix, as it comes out of the pill, is a prodrug - its thiophene ring needs to get torn open). This sort of thing has been seen many times before - it's one of the many headaches that you can endure in drug development as you profile the metabolizing pathways for your drug candidate and compare them to the other compounds your patient population might be taking. There are some combinations that just will not work (several involving CYP3A4, which is often the first one you test for), and it looks like we can add Plavix/2C19 to the list.
But the population genetics of the 2C19 enzyme are rather heterogeneous. About a third of the patients taking Plavix have a less-active form of the enzyme to start with, and they might not respond as robustly to the drug. The FDA has emphasized this effect in its latest public health warning. That's an opportunity for Effient, since it doesn't go through that metabolic route.
The In Vivo people point out, though, that this story isn't being driven by the usual players. It's not the FDA that's pushed to find this out, and it's not even Eli Lilly. It's Medco and Aetna. They studied their insurance claims data to see if the numbers supported the proton pump inhibitor/Plavix interaction, found that they did, and publicized their findings - and that led to an actual observational trial from BMS and Sanofi, which confirmed the problem. Now Medco is going further, and is actually running its own observational study comparing Plavix and Effient. Their theory is that the efficacy that Lilly showed compared to Plavix was driven by the (deliberate, one assumes) inclusion of a high number of poor metabolizers.
Medco is getting ready for generic Plavix, and trying to keep its costs down by making the case that the drug will do the job just fine for most patients. They could, on the other hand, end up making the case for Effient in that poor-metabolizing third of the patients, which would also be interesting. Lilly would presumably settle for that, although they'd like even more of the market if they can get it, naturally.
And I have to say: I like this sort of thing. I like it a lot. This, to me, is how the system should work. Companies are pursuing their own competing interests, but in the end, we get a higher standard of care by finding out which drug really works for which patients. The motivation to do all this? Money, of course, earning it and saving it. This may sound crass, but I think that's a reliable, proven method to motivate people and companies, one that works even better than depending on their best impulses. You could even build an economic system around such effects, with some attention to channeling these impulses in ways that benefit the greatest number of people. Worth a try.

Problem with Marx is that people are people and have individual desires that don't correlate at all with what might be best for groups or people as a whole, and we are generally willing to try to fulfill those desires with whatever means we have, and with little regard for consequences. I don't know if it's inevitable, but attempts to implement Marx end up instead with the bastard child of Marx and Smith, and (almost of all of) the people usually end up as the single mother forced to carry the child to term.
I think another relevant aphorism, though, is "When elephants fight, the grass gets trampled." Most people, the environment, and anything that can't be counted (externalities) tend to end up in the grass category. Everyone wants to be the elephants.
Unless there isn't any government, I think the political connection thing tends to happen no matter what - the consequences of the injustice depend on how much power the government has. Perhaps it's just a fortunate irony, though, but many of the places with lots of government power don't tend to be so corrupt - the interaction of powerful government, self-interest with few internal constraints, and the lack of societal constraint seems to make corruption likely.

There's a bigger problem with Marx. If:
my ability > my needs
(as defined by, let's face it, someone besides me), then I just reign in my ability so that:
my ability = my needs
If everyone does this, then society as a whole goes from:
total ability = total needs
total ability

I owe the thread a substantive comment, so here goes:
Why shouldn't the FDA (or CMS or NIH) do the same thing, i.e. open an Institute of Comparative Pharmaceutical Effectiveness? My guess is that it would be quite easy for that Institute to be seized by one interest group or the other.
Presumably, the insurance companies can't be bought off by any providers (or can they?!?) - and yet, they're the ones who are taking it in the back of the neck in this round of health care reform.
8. boolean-yah!! on November 19, 2009 11:45 AM writes...
But imagine if there are two individuals each striving to meet thier own needs and as you say:
A) my ability= my needs
but the second individual is the wrench where
B) my ability (less than) my needs
then A NAND B=good outcome.
(though I forget how to add in if only B=true then outcome=false)
The problem lies in who picks up the slack for individual B. This is where the problem has always been - not everyone is equally capable so how does society compensate for that while still functioning. Who decides who takes extra work - especially in a system where each individul is trying to get out of it as much as they can.
9. Hap on November 19, 2009 11:45 AM writes...
If people were selfless, then the gap from the first stage to the second wouldn't occur (people would be willing to product more output than their needs mandate for others), and people who need more than they can produce would try harder to produce to minimize their deficit (such as they are able to - in some cases, they can't do anything to alter the gap). The problem, though, is that people aren't selfless - we are willing to act for the betterment of all, but usually for our own reasons and our own fulfillment.
Sometimes individual desires work out for the best (for people as a whole), but not always. Hoping that they will always do so seems almost as vain as hoping that people will magically forget themselves, for the sake of the state.
10. Hap on November 19, 2009 11:58 AM writes...
Health insurance companies are an easy and at least somewhat valid target - at least some of their profit comes from denying legitimate claims and hoping that someone else will pay for it. (They are also the blunt edge of the knife - they tell people they can't have medical care for what they can afford, driving the strong connection between work and health care, because people can not often get medical care in other ways). Their decisions on what care to cover aren't generally transparent, and often may not be in the interests of their customers.
The problem comes when someone (the government, insurers, etc.) has to make the decisions on what care to cover. The current system doesn't seem to do that well (because it costs a lot more than other systems that provide care to a larger fraction of people and have similar or better patient outcomes), but any system that does it better will make lots of people unhappy, and any system that doesn't do it well will not exist for long. Efficiency improvements (better checks on care, more access to information, consistent data standards, etc.) will help, but not enough to avoid someone(s,thing) having to make difficult and unpopular decisions on what care to provide.

"The problem comes when someone (the government, insurers, etc.) has to make the decisions on what care to cover."
Isn't there a more general problem here? Sometimes it's not a coverage but a science issue. Say, I have an absolutely terminal disease which will kill me in 4 years but keeps me productive. Why the heck am I paying for other people's coverage against my will, by "paying for things I might get (but really won't) like diabetes, alzheimer's etc). It's one thing if I decide to be altruistic and pay for other people's healthcare out of my own good will, it's another thing if someone reaches into my pocket and does it for me.
Sure it's reductio ad absurdum, but the whole thing becomes more pernicious when you realize that diseases of minorities are less researched than diseases of the majority, and for statistical reasons, sampling of minority populations for drug safety and efficacy is likewise poorer. "Universal coverage" can never be "Equal coverage". Thank you Derek for alluding to this problem which has completely eluded the healthcare debate.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"
As a needy one, I like that one, too. Oddly enough now that I've had my share, I really wanna pay it back, if only someone'd employ me. I wonder what's wrong with me.
You could even build an economic system around such effects, with some attention to channeling these impulses in ways that benefit the greatest number of people. Worth a try.
It's all well and good for some company to make money for themselves, but they should not do it at the cost of the the wholesale exploitation of my share of the Earth, Wind and Water.
Hence laws governing pollution and carbon taxes are a Good Thing™.
That is not to say that those things can't also be twisted for personal gain, but that is a flaw with the execution, not one inherent to the concept.
13. qetzal on November 19, 2009 2:02 PM writes...
You could make a similar argument about a lot of things that we're all expected to contribute towards. If you expect to be dead in four years, why would you pay for new highway construction or defense initiatives or NIH research? You won't be here to benefit from any of them? Yet the government will continue to reach into your pocket to help pay for all of that, up until you die (and possibly beyond).
I disagree that this issue is being ignored in the healthcare debate. Haven't you heard people arguing about whether healthcare is or is not a "right" (or perhaps more accurately, that it should/shouldn't be an entitlement)? They are addressing exactly that question.
P.S. I hope Derek will excuse my contribution to the threadjacking, since everyone seems to be in the mood for it today. ;-)

qetzal: We're expected to contribute towards the 18 things in article I section 8 that congress is authorized to do. I see highways in there*. I don't see healthcare there (or education, DOE, NIH, for that matter)
You could say, that the constitution isn't restrictive on government - but that is both historically inaccurate, and also incorrect because of Amendment X (anything not listed in the constitution is reserved to the states or to the people). The constitution is a take it or leave it proposition - if you're not going to follow the constitution to the letter, what gives you the authority to be president, or a congresscritter? Isn't it convenient then that they pick the parts that confer power upon them and ignore the parts that restrict what they should do?
And if you're going to argue that it's a "living document", wait until someone "lives" away the freedom of speech, or right to a fair trial. Oh wait, that already happened. during Bush II.
*post roads, technically. While driving across country, I spotted a USPS truck on the interstate. so, it counts.
19. yonemoto on November 20, 2009 12:51 AM writes...
come again? How does smith suffer from the 'tragedy of the commons'? In a true capitalism, the price of diminishing resources is built into the cost. However, we live in an inflationary-spiral capitalism. This is a kleptocratic move decided by government edict (not market forces) and utterly takes the axe to any notion of sustainability by punishing savers and rewarding spenders.
so, yeah. In a real capitalism, where governments protect individual assets by preserving the value of currency, instead of engaging in outright thievery by fiat inflation - capitalism takes care of the tragedy of the commons. Unfortunately, we have been living in a regime of secular inflation for the last 80 years.
20. alig on November 20, 2009 7:49 AM writes...
You need a refresher course on economics. The "tragedy of the commons" covers all resources that do not have a price to be used. Originally this came from a common field that everyone could graze their sheep at, quickly the field was over-grazed to the point that no grass was left. Later this problem was associated with water and air (it was free to dump waste so everyone did it and the air and water became polluted). There is a real cost to society for these activities but they are not paid (and therefore not factored into the cost of the good) by producers so the market makes the wrong decisions. These costs that producers do not pay are called extranalities. I believe one of the roles of government in a capitalist country should be to force the cost of extranalities into the price of goods.

A couple of comments
The insurers may well go for generic clopidogrel. low at how well it sold during its short lived availability in the US.
And this week AZ announced the results of the PLATO study in which Brilinta trounced Plavix (Brilinta isn't filed yet and has a different mechanism of action)
22. xanguin8 on November 21, 2009 4:05 PM writes...
agree with #21.
watch the AZ cmpd...will take over the 8 billion currently enjoyed by plavix...
you heard it here first!

Bert Marsh was a master of artistic form and his ability to turn vessels of all types with the thinnest walls was legendary.
He was revered by his peers and known throughout the world for the quality of his work. He was prolific and his work is in most serious wood collector's collections and held in many museums worldwide.
One of the very earliest forms of lathe was the pole lathe. There will be demonstrations of woodturning using a pole lathe during the Exhibition.
The pole lathe alternately spins backwards and forwards, so can only cut half of the time.
To overcome this problem Leonardo da Vinci invented the treadle lathe. A replica of Leonardo's invention will be demonstrated by Stuart King.
The family firm of tool manufacturers, Holtzapffel & Co, sold the special lathes for making the most ornate turned objects particularly in the nineteenth century.
We are privileged to be able to show a large display of this incredible collection at Wizardry in Wood.
This will be its first public showing in 82 years. There will also be a fully equipped nineteenth century Holtzapffel lathe resplendent in all its glory.
The story of the recovery of the Henry VIII's flagship, Mary Rose, is one of the miracles of naval archaeology.
It means there is an extensive collection of turned items from 1545 in wonderful condition, which the Mary Rose Trust has kindly agreed to let us exhibit for the first time in London.
The display includes a wide range of items, including bowls, plates cups, medical instruments, musical instruments and rigging blocks.
The Society of Ornamental Turners was formed in 1948 to ensure that this most ornate form of turning practised by just a few skilled Turners was kept alive.
The scope of ornamental turning broadens every year and the display of work reflects these new developments.
The Association of Polelathe Turners and Greenwood Workers was created in 1990 by a dozen like-minded individuals who wanted to rescue the art of polelathe turning and greenwood working from obscurity.
The organisation now has a global membership of over 770.
Its stand will feature the practical nature of this craft and the artefacts the members produce.
The splendid thrones and banquette on display at Wizardry in Wood were the focal point of the sumptuous furnishings of the Spirit of Chartwell, the barge which carried the royal family down the Thames on June 3rd 2012.
The Turners' Company gave the six finials which graced the thrones and a banquette.

Pet peeve #78: Guys who tell us they'd be purse-wearers if only it didn't undermine their masculinity/violate social norms/lower their sperm count. Wah wah.
After seeing the bags from Gucci Men's Spring 2014 ready-to-wear, we're even less sympathetic to the murse-phobe's plight — in fact, we'd take these crazy-chic carryalls off their undeserving hands before you could even say "Grow a pair."
To properly outfit her floral-appreciating, windbreaker-and-jodhpur-wearing outdoorsman, Frida Giannini offered exceptionally roomy totes, padlocked backpacks that buckled across the chest, and outsized convertible-strap bucket bags big enough for a whole case of champagne, not just the two measly bottles M. Vuitton intended.
We're chomping at the bit to get our mitts on that white leather — it's just crying out for some patina-developing abuse — and to (temporarily) trade in our teeny-tiny clutches for bags that can actually hold more than an iPhone and a stick of gum.
Borrowing from the boys might get quite a lot of coverage here, but this time, there's no chance they're getting anything back.

Recall that , and any -module has a 'standard' basis (corresponding to the choice of generators ), as described here. Now if is an irreducible root system, and is the corresponding simple Lie algebra, then various subspaces of are -modules in many ways, but the message here is that there exists a basis that is standard (up to multiplication by ) for all these module structures simultaneously. More precisely,
Theorem: There exist vectors such that
- , where are defined by .
- For any and any the set is a standard basis, up to , of the module over .
- For any let be the corresponding reflection. Then .
To clarify the ideas underlying the proof, I should state a few lemmas.
Lemma 1: Let be the standard basis for an -module. Then the standard reflection acts as follows:
I don't see a better way then to do this 'by hands', using the known formulas for the action of and . The calculation boils down to a certain binomial sum, which can be shown equivalent to the Vandermonde identity. Anyway, it can be found in Graham-Knuth-Patashnik…
Let be a basis for . Let's define a path between and a root to be any sequence , such that , and . Let's define a homotopy between two paths and to be a sequence of paths , such that for any the paths and differ only in one place , in the only way possible: .
Lemma 2: Any two paths are homotopic.
Proof: Proceed by induction on the length of the paths. Suppose that and are two paths joining and . If , then we are done by induction hypothesis. If not, observe that is also a root. This can be shown directly by examining the -dimensional root systems. Now by induction hypothesis, is homotopic to , and is homotopic to . Now the parts are homotopic, and finally, is a homotopy. QED.
Proof of Theorem: Let be a basis, let be arbitrary vectors, and define , , where are chosen to satisfy the 'standard basis' requirement for both – and -module structures. To check that this is possible, it is sufficient to consider two-dimensional root systems. Now we should also check that this definition of does not depend on the way to write as a sum of simple roots. This can be done via homotopy: to verify each step of the homotopy, it is sufficient to consider -dimensional root systems. Finally, choose via in an appropriate way. QED.
