TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE; 10 January 1821; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18210110-TC-AC-01; CL 1:305-308.
Edinr—10th January 1821—
My dear Brother,
I have had such a days running & perplexity, I waited so long for your letter, and I feel so stupid after getting it, that actually you must not look for any thing but most insipid drivelling from me on this occasion. I saw Parliament1 yesternight, and then Farries, who told me he had a box, which would be with me next morning early; whereas after waiting till 11 o'clock this morning, I had to search out who knows how many Carriers' stores, to travel back and travel forward—to consult with hostlers and chaffer with porters and assign the waffler fifty times to 'all the devils'—before I could get sight of that unfortunate hamper. And the whole of this to happen just when I was meditating a change of lodgings, and so had need of all my wits and all my time to use them undisturbed! The Waffler is a waffler still.2
I have not got a new room; and still feel undetermined about quitting the present one. My Landlady is good, no need of better; but the place is cold, visited too freely by the breath of Heaven, and other 'skiey influences'3 to which my carcase has no liking. I thought once of going to a place called Warriston Crescent, on the nort[h] side of Edinr, where one Moon a preacher has resided several years; but on visiting the spot to-day, I find that 'gliding remote in the verge of the sky the Moon' still lingers in that chamber, to the exclusion of all other bodies. I know of some places in the neighbourhood; but this poor Mrs Robertson is so worthy a creature that I would fain weather out the winter with her. Direct to me as if nothing had been said on this score: if I depart, notice will be left whither I am gone.
My possessions of worldly comfort are still mostly in perspective. Yet I live in hope, and no sooner is once [one] scheme blasted than another springs up instead of it. Brewster is to settle with me about my writings whenever I like to go over; and what might be better he professes great readiness to furnish me with a letter of introduction to Thomas Campbell, who has lately been appointed Editor of a Magazine in London,4 the publishers of which are said to offer about fifteen guineas a sheet. I must try somewhat for Campbell. O for one day of such vigorous health and such elastic spirits as I have had of old! I will try however. Brewster came to me on the street to-day, and talked long: he seems to feel that I can be of some use to him, and therefore he treats me gently. I was at dinner with him the other day; and there were Professor Wallis, Telford the engineer,5 Jardine another of the same, and one Wright a very ugly loud-speaking man. They are persons to hear whom would make one admire how they have got the name and the emolument they enjoy at present. Telford spoke of his 'friend' the duke of this, and his friend the Marquis of that—all honourable men. I left the party without regret to sup with little Murray (you recollect about him), where was to appear M'Diarmid of Dumfries and M'Culloch, the great M'Culloch better known to you as the 'Scotsman'.6 M'Culloch fell sick, and we had to content ourselves with one of his coadjutors—a broad-faced, jolly, speculating, muddleheaded person called Ritchie.7 I debated with Ritchie in a very desultory stile about poetry and politics, less to his edification than surprise; and the dapper little M'Diarmid sat by as umpire of the strife. M'Diarmid is not 'an elegant gentleman'; his look recalled to me the Yorkshire Mooncalf:8 in mental qualities he is estimable rather than otherwise—shewy but unsubstantial—broad but shallow. 'What a grawsp' said he after repeating some lines of Byron— 'G-d! What a grawsp!' said he, pursing his mouth to a side—learing with his drowsy eyes and shovelling out his wee hand—as if to catch the rumbottle— 'G-d what a grawsp!!'
After all perhaps I shall fall into some agre[e]able society here, and finally be restored to something like steady peace and comfort. In the mean time, as you remark, I ought to be thankful that I am as I am. Witness Waugh!9 sad emblem of imprudence! Hunted by duns, destitute of cash, he has left his luggage to make good the payment of his lodging, and is now winding his zig-zag way among the pursebearers of Annandale to raise a little money from the wreck of his property. No one but pities Waugh, no one but blames him.
They tell me poor Sarah White10 has met with a misfortune which is likely to be fatal. She was a harmless quiet body, and it is mournful to think of her coming to such an end. Tell me the result.
As to M' Nay, 11 I cannot recollect among all the 'lives of the Poets' that I have perused, a single instance of a child of song, consuming his gains in [the rest of the letter missing.]

- I think we should switch the order on the main page so that the schedule comes after course information. --Jeffrey 10:41, 18 October 2005 (EDT)
- Do you still want to do this? What about separating out the schedule so that it's on four separate pages by month? --ASW 11:02, 5 November 2005 (EST)
- It doesn't matter to me really -- at this point it would probably be more confusing than convenient as people are used to the current interface. --Jeffrey 19:02, 5 November 2005 (EST)
- Do you still want to do this? What about separating out the schedule so that it's on four separate pages by month? --ASW 11:02, 5 November 2005 (EST)
Have a look at Freegardens; I'm starting to collect ideas there for a new business to fund ideas. Feel free to ask a more specific question on the talk page. --ASW 11:02, 5 November 2005 (EST)
Moved from user page - I wrote an email to the economics department to see if I could have this class count towards my concentration. This is their response: "It looks like a fantastic class. The old syllabus is clearly a related field, but the new description does promise more economics. Unfortunately, I can't find a current syllabus. So I'd say related field, unless the student can show us a current syllabus that includes more economics."
- I forwarded this to George --Await 18:52, 22 Sep 2005 (EDT)
- Jeffrey - is it OK that this class is counted as a "related field" and not part of your "concentration"? You didn't bring it up today. --Await 22:15, 27 Sep 2005 (EDT)
- Await - It is OK, but since I've already fulfilled the "related field" requirement for my concentration, it will essentially just count as elective. I would like to try to have it count as an economics class, as I haven't already fulfilled all of my "concentration" requirement for "economics" classes. --Jeffrey 22:15, 27 Sep 2005 (EDT)
- We would be happy to tailor your contribution to the class so that it satisfies a "concentration" requirement. But you'll have to get more details from your department and let us know. Essentially you'll have to propose a course of study that we (and they) approve. --ASW 17:02, 28 Sep 2005 (EDT)

With Kenneth Branagh passing on a second helping of "Thor" in favour of other projects, the search for a new director may have already come to an end.
Irish auteur Brian Kirk, best known for directing numerous episodes of the first season of HBO's hit series "Game of Thrones", is reportedly under major consideration to helm a "Thor" sequel for Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures says Variety.
The choice isn't a surprise. With 'Thrones' he has demonstrated a strong ability to handle a grounded but fantastical setting populated with a large ensemble cast and a rich complex mythology.
The "Thor" sequel is expected to be on a larger scale than the first film with double the amount of Asgardian characters and the inclusion of various mythical Norse creatures. It's currently slated for a late July 2013 release.

Swansea fan Ross Baxter provides the view from the Liberty Stadium ahead of Sunday's game.
How's your season going?
Very well so far. Obviously we've got the Capital One Cup final next week which in itself is a fantastic achievement for the club, but to also be 7th in the league at this stage in the season is great.
Song we can expect to hear from the Swansea fans?
I'm sure we'll hear Hymns and Arias, amongst various others. We know for definite the travelling fans will be vocal though.
Player who makes you tick?
Difficult to select just one, but if I had to I'd say Leon Britton. He's always absolutely solid and can be consistently relied upon, not just to win the ball back from the opposition, but to keep hold of it as well and to control the game from the midfield.
Weak link?
Again, it's difficult to say as we do have a very strong squad. We'll miss Chico this weekend as he has been a rock in defence throughout the season, but we do have the likes of Monk and Bartley who are ready to step up to the plate and who haven't let us down when they've been given a chance this season.
Best way to beat Swansea?
Probably best to keep the pressure up, as that obviously makes it that little bit harder to keep the ball and put it exactly where we want it.
Liverpool player you'll be worried about?
Obviously Liverpool have got a strong squad and the likes of Suarez, Sturridge, Gerrard and others can be difficult to deal with, so I would say we'll have to make sure we concentrate on Liverpool as a whole rather than worrying about any one player in particular.
What kind of reception can Brendan Rodgers expect?
Same as previous times I would imagine. The majority of fans still appreciate everything he did for the club in his time here and can understand why he moved on.
Best and worst thing about being a Swansea fan?
One of the best things is probably the fact that the club has a solid background structure. Some people were worried when we lost big names last season (Brendan, Allen and Sinclair) and as such we were predicted to be bottom of the pile, but Huw Jenkins and the rest of the board showed that really there was nothing to be worried about, and we've come out of it stronger. I would say the worst bit is that often the expectations from parts of the media who, despite recent successes, are often highly critical of our chances and expect us to do consistently badly. It can be bad to read stuff like that week in, week out. Having said that, it is always nice when we prove them wrong!
I think we'll be very up for it, but it'll be tough, so I'll go 1-0 Swans, Michu to score.

Summer Rituals On Chincoteague
By PERRI KLASS
Published: March 25, 2001
I SHOULD probably start by confessing that I did not go through a horse-crazy stage when I was growing up, and therefore the name Chincoteague had no particular significance for me. My family and I first stumbled on the island on a drive down the East Coast heading for Kitty Hawk on a Wright Brothers pilgrimage with a sixth grader who had spent the year researching Orville. As we drove, I had Jane and Michael Stern's book ''Roadfood'' open on my lap, cross-referencing the towns we passed. That's where I found Chincoteague, cited for the Landmark Crab House, and the write-up made mention of the famous Chincoteague oysters. It was getting to be dinner time, so we turned off the road and drove out along the causeway that takes you from the mainland to the island of Chincoteague. We triumphantly ate oysters and crab concoctions at the Landmark, and then spent the night at a nearby motel.
The next morning, before heading farther south, we visited the beach, out on the barrier island of Assateague, and remarked that it was a fabulous beach, miles of sand and surf, in pristine national seashore condition.
That year we drove on to Kitty Hawk and the Outer Banks, but we have returned to Chincoteague almost every summer since. It's come to be that mysterious and valuable landscape, the family beach vacation you take over and over. I never thought we would achieve such consistency, but, in fact, we have grown attached to Chincoteague and its attendant vacation rituals.
The point is to do the same thing every summer. Even as the children get older, they object if any cornball step is omitted. We drive down from Boston, sometimes spending the night in New York City. We take the ferry from Cape May, N.J., to Lewes, Del. -- a lovely boat ride, but beware of the speed traps on the last stretch of road in Cape May, where the speed limit changes five or six times as you drive from the end of the Garden State Parkway to the ferry dock, and policemen wait concealed when it gets close to ferry time. The object is to ticket you as the ferry sails off without you!
From Lewes, we drive south again, along the Delmarva Peninsula, stopping for barbecue and pie at Em-Ings, an authentically no-frills roadside joint (you could even call it a shack) where the ribs and the barbecued chicken are terrific and the meringue pies are out of this world. And then on to Chincoteague, out across the causeway, where we settle into an efficiency at one or another motel or set of vacation cottages.
Chincoteague is an island off the coast of Virginia, just south of the Maryland border. Immediately beyond it lies the longer barrier island of Assateague, part Maryland and part Virginia. You stay in the town of Chincoteague, which offers hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, guest cottages, seafood restaurants, ice cream parlors, miniature golf courses and other holiday accouterments. And then you drive (or walk or bicycle) out over a bridge to Assateague, where the national seashore offers 38 miles of completely undeveloped Atlantic Ocean beach.
And oh, yes, the ponies. The Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague offers a home (or migration stopover) to hundreds of species of bird, including bald eagles, as well as deer and, according to the signs we see every year in the reserve, the endangered Delmarva fox squirrel. But its most famous denizens are the herd of wild ponies that have lived on Assateague for centuries, their physiology adapting to the high saline environment.
There are many legends about how the ponies got there (the shipwrecked-Spanish-galleon legend, the farmers-grazed-them-on-the-island-to-save-taxes-on-the-mainland legend), but they are most famous in song and story for a 1947 novel, ''Misty of Chincoteague,'' and its sequels, written by Marguerite Henry. The original novel draws its plot from the annual ''pony penning'' event, in which the horses are driven into the water to swim from Assateague to Chincoteague, where the foals are sold at auction to benefit the volunteer fire department. This annual auction keeps the herd down to numbers that the island can support. ''Misty of Chincoteague'' tells the story of a brother and sister who dream of a pony of their own -- and have their eye on one particularly appealing mare, the Phantom, and then her foal, the Misty for which the book is named. This is a book that has for more than 50 years spoken straight to the dreams of horse-loving children, and the annual penning, swim and auction are the biggest event on the Chincoteague calendar. Even today, if you look on amazon.com, the reader reviews of ''Misty'' offer tag lines like ''the best book I ever read'' and ''really made me want a pony of my own.''
The weeklong event pulls in pony fans and Misty lovers from all over the country. My family has therefore stayed away that particular week; the swim and auction are always the last Wednesday and Thursday in July (this year it's the 25th and 26th). But we have often seen the ponies grazing in the Wildlife Refuge. Although signs all over warn that wild ponies bite and kick, they are often surrounded, rather too close for comfort, by adults and children.

You are here: Home Contact Us News Health Insurance Marketplace - AtlantiCare provides assistance throughout the community
Media Contact:
Jennifer Tornetta, 609-569-7010, firstname.lastname@example.com
Betsy Woerner, 609-748-7539, (C) 609-385-6361, firstname.lastname@example.com
For Immediate Release: December 13, 2013
AtlantiCare is increasing awareness about and assisting people in enrolling in health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace created by the Affordable Care Act. This outreach includes education and assistance to those who qualify for free or subsidized health insurance through the Act. AtlantiCare's certified application counselors have been explaining the public health exchange options and enrollment processes for the uninsured and underinsured.
AtlantiCare is sharing information via its website, social media, and other communication venues about the Marketplace and other financial assistance.
AtlantiCare is also helping community members who qualify for assistance under new modified adjusted gross income (MAGI)-based eligibility levels to enroll in Medicaid and in the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). AtlantiCare continues to help those who qualify apply for the New Jersey Hospital Care Payment Assistance Program, also known as Charity Care.
"We're committed to increasing awareness about the importance of getting the right care at the right time, and eliminating barriers to getting that care," said Steven Blumberg, senior vice president and executive director, AtlantiCare Health Solutions. "All too often, those without coverage put off getting care when they are sick or injured and eventually seek care in hospital emergency departments. In addition to negatively impacting the health and wellness of the individual, this increases ER wait times and adds to the high costs of healthcare. The goal of expanding insurance coverage is to increase access to primary care and improve individuals' health. In the long-run, this will reduce healthcare costs."
"AtlantiCare has been stressing the importance of relationships with primary care providers for many years because we see how this benefits our patients," explained Blumberg. "We now have 83 physicians caring for patients in more than 30 AtlantiCare Primary Care Plus practices throughout Atlantic, Cape May and southern Ocean counties. We have also seen positive impact on community health and on financial savings through our Special Care Centers in Atlantic City and Galloway, and through Mission HealthCare and Community Health Services in Atlantic City. These primary care medical home models are helping those with chronic conditions, as well as those who are uninsured or underinsured access the care they need – decreasing the likelihood that they will need emergency care."
Health Insurance Marketplace
As a Certified Application Counselor Organization, AtlantiCare is certified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to assist people with the Health Insurance Marketplace application process. Certified application counselors assist the community in enrolling from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at AtlantiCare Community Health Services, based in the William L. Gormley AtlantiCare HealthPlex, 1401 Atlantic Avenue, Atlantic City.
AtlantiCare has held free town hall meetings to help people understand their options under the Act, and has given presentations at faith-based organizations, schools, nursing homes, justice facilities and other social service organizations to educate the community about the importance of having health insurance and how to enroll through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
AtlantiCare created an awareness video - AtlantiCare Advances - Health Insurance Marketplace – which it posted YouTube and began airing on NBC 40 November 11.
Open enrollment through the Marketplace closes March 31, but the deadline for enrolling in coverage that begins January 1 is December 23.
Additional assistance
"Many people who apply for Charity Care through AtlantiCare are not aware that they are eligible for Medicaid or low cost insurance now that New Jersey has expanded its Medicaid program eligibility for lower income individuals and families for coverage that begins January 1," said Paul Mesgleski, manager, Financial Services, AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center. "We help people understand all their options."
"AtlantiCare has long assisted its community in determining whether individuals and families qualify for state and federal financial assistance programs through our financial counseling and outreach efforts," said Hak Kim, vice president, Revenue Enhancement and Business Development, AtlantiCare. "We are committed to promoting the importance of getting timely, appropriate care in the right setting and to building new care models – including expanding our Primary Care Plus practices to meet community needs."
To enroll in health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace, visit www.healthcare.gov or call the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596 for assistance.
For more information, call the AtlantiCare Access Center at 1-888-569-1000.
AtlantiCare is an integrated system of services designed to help people achieve optimal health. It includes AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, AtlantiCare Health Engagement, the AtlantiCare Foundation, and AtlantiCare Health Services. Its more than 5,461employees and 600 physicians serve the community in more than 60 locations. A 2009 Malcolm Baldrige Award winner, AtlantiCare was also included in Modern Healthcare's Best Places to Work in Healthcare in 2010. ARMC became the 105th hospital in the nation to attain status as a Magnet™ designated hospital in March of 2004 and was redesignated a Magnet™ hospital in 2008.

On Friday, it was announced that Tammy Faye Messner lost a 10- year struggle with lung cancer.
Better known as Tammy Faye Baker, the former televangelist and husband Jim Baker broadcast their message to over 13-million households on the Praise the Lord Club. The show ended after Jim was arrested for fraud, but through it all, Tammy Faye stayed strong.
As the nation remembers the highs and lows of Tammy Faye Messner's public life, one man in Glasgow is looking back on memories of a woman he knew personally. Now, he wants to share his admiration.
It's been over 30-years since D.B. Parker saw Tammy Faye, but she's a person he remembers fondly.
"I just connected with her. Her emotions; the way she expressed herself; her demeanor," Parker said.
Today, D.B. is the owner and operator of a bible bookstore in Glasgow, but in the 1970s, he worked a short stint as a counselor on Praise the Lord's Help Hotline. It was through this experience that D.B. came to admire Tammy Faye's unwavering faith.
"She had a certain urgency. If she put her mind to something, she wanted to succeed," Parker said.
This deep admiration is why D.B. has found Tammy Faye's recent passing such an emotional experience. Her fight with cancer is something he finds difficult to talk about.
"See these tears? When I talk about that, I have to shed tears. I had so much feeling toward her life and ministry," Parker said.
But D.B. says that he is celebrating the life of Tammy Faye. And no matter how many years pass since his time with P.T.L., he'll always value the time he spent there.
"Instead of remembering the town, I remember the building and the warm feeling I got when I went down there. It's just imprinted on my mind. It was a truly memorable experience," he said.
The death of Tammy Faye was announced July 20 on Larry King Live. It was only one day after her final interview on the show was aired. Tammy Faye Messner was 65-years-old.

I've been paying close attention to developments in technology for over half a century, which has led me to studying the history of technology (which is much more interesting and makes more sense than the political history they teach you in high school). That means I'm able to take the long view of current events. I look at them as the latest instant in a half-million-year story beginning with some monkey-like ancestors who noticed that by banging two rocks together, they could produce a sharp edge useful for slicing their neighbors into bite-sized pieces.
That makes me a serious skeptic of the latest whizz-bang! gizmos and gadgets. It, of course, does not endear me to marketers who want everyone to get excited about what they've thought up to sell next.
Don't get me wrong. There's lots going on at the cutting edge of technology. You can't buy it, though. What you find proudly displayed at Best Buy is technology I covered twenty years ago when I was Chief Editor at Test & Measurement World.
A case in point is the ability to have a face-to-face conversation through your real-time-video-capable handheld mobile communication device (smartphone for short). Blackberry this week was sending me (unwanted) messages pushing their latest smartphones as if I was dying to pony up a bunch of bucks to experience the "latest and greatest." One of the most impressive features (aside from 4G speed, which would be convenient, but is really only specsmanship) is the aforementioned face-to-face conversation.
From the long view, this is ancient technology. Science fiction writers predicted it in the 1940s and 1950s. It was test marketed in the late 1960s. Called the "videophone" then, folks who had the equipment generally blocked the video portion. "Too much information," was the consensus. The important information in nearly all conversations could be exchanged by voice. The rest was of little value and potentially embarrassing. Yet, marketers constantly drag it out as the next great thing whenever they get the chance.
Another "innovation" that keeps getting promoted is the touch-screen keyboard. Folks who use a mechanical keyboard a lot wouldn't touch a touch-screen keyboard on a bet! (Pun very much intended.) The tactile feedback that naturally comes from a mechanical keyboard is critically important. You only use a touch-screen keyboard when you can't get an array of buttons. It's second tier at best, so don't try to convince me it's the latest and greatest!
Finally, let's look at the whole idea of Web-enabled mobile devices. Back in the 1970s we ("we" being scientists and engineers constantly being lacerated by the cutting edge of computer technology) had our own, personal, "minicomputers," and were using novel networking technology to connect them to the big brains of the mainframe computers owned by the university and shared by whoever had access. We always knew when Administration was running payroll because nobody else could get anything done.
There were also so-called "dumb terminals" available that couldn't do anything but send information back and forth to the mainframe. We used our personal computers to get actual work done, and store information that we wanted to keep to ourselves. We saved mainframe access for simulation programs that took forever to run, anyway.
Today, however, the latest and greatest seem to be things that just talk to the "cloud." They've little ability to store and process information locally -- and now we're worried about hackers stealing our important data! It's a dumb terminal at best.
The dilemma I'm faced with in this column is what technology stories to cover. Do I write about the exciting cutting-edge technology advances being developed today, which just-folks can't get their hands on and wouldn't have a use for if they could, or do I cover the old, boring (to me) technology being flogged by mass marketers as the latest and greatest?
Good question!

A couple of weeks ago we noted the change: Tesar's Modern Steaks and Seafood took the apostrophe out of Tesar's and became Tesars Modern Steaks and Seafood. Why? Because chef John Tesar left the restaurant and came back to Dallas where he is currently the culinary director of DRG (Go Fish, Dallas Chop House). Today Tesar, the human, has his name back. Tesars, the restaurant, has closed. The soon-to-come apostrophe is still a mystery.
Tesars Modern Steak and Seafood in The Woodlands is Closed

Worzel Gummidge
I heard that the apostrophe had gone on a long vacation to Nicaragua.
Marley Wyback
Wasn't DRG supposed to announce a hot new John Tesar concept in April? What's the hold up? Is he frying fish while Tiffany Derry goes off to make herself more of a celebrity chef than he is?
Love John Tesar. Dallas should be happy to have him back!!
@Burgerette – we're not. And this post isn't really about him anyway, it's about the apostropheless restaurant.
This is funny.
http://www.tjsseafood.com jonfromtjs
the meal i had at the mansion when it was his kitchen was one of the best meals i've ever eaten in my life. how can his coming back to dallas not be good for our city's food scene?
i've seen nothing impressive about DCH or DFM at all lately, and i've been to both since downtown is my turf…as with others, I am still waiting on that announcement as well…
Here is the latest DRG announcement:
Chef Tiffany Derry of Go Fish Ocean Club is gonna be on the new season of TOP CHEF. We are having a watching party every wed. starting next week.. with the season premier. Come hang out…25%off every Wed starting June 16th
I hear he is about to open a hamburger restaurant on Main Street. I had lunch at the Chop House two days ago and he was working with Chef Kenny Mills on something ?
kitchen slave
Wit we are glad to have him back and so is DRG. Tesar is going open several restaurants in the next 18 months going to help the economy and give jobs to serious cooks like myself. Without the politics of the Mansion and with the support of an entrepreneur like Mike Hogue we can't wait to see what he can accomplish. My friends and I can't wait to work with him again and if you love food you should be glad too, because this guy can really cook and thats what really matters right.
TV is not going to make Tiffany a better Chef or more renown than Tesar. Look what it did for Tre and Casey.
Hope Tiffany can focus and not let being on TV go to her head before she really learns how to cook. Did you read the review of Go Fish this week in the DMN ? maybe 3 but not too good.
Tired of the haters, TESAR ROCKS eat his food and stop blogging so much.
REal Chef
Top Chef who cares? Is this season 30? Where have all the top chefs gone? It seems like it ruins their careers turns them into needy wanna bees and they windup spending most of there time promoting the show and never cook again or they become side show performers at food festivals.If she is a top chef why are you offering 25% off ?
foodie lover
Dallas needs a chef like Tesar period. What he did at the Mansion was as good as any restaurant in the country.My family and I ate at the French Laundry and Per Se and we all thought the Chefs room was as good if not better!
Pastry Lady
So glad this is finally over.I told you the partners where dirt bags and that the two cooks where cooks not chefs. I think I am going to buy the sign and give it back to it's rightful owner.
French Laundry forget that the guy makes the most righteous burgers I have ever had. Hope he opens a burger restaurant I will eat there everyday
John Tesar could quite possibly be the most polarizing chef that has ever stepped foot in Dallas. It's amazing how many comments that rack up when his name is mentioned…apostrophe or not. While the chef's room at the mansion was great and might have been one of the best meals to be had in this state of ours, comparing it to the quality and experience of food nirvana at a place the calibre of the French Laundry is going a little overboard. In regards to "Where have the top chefs gone?" Michael Voltaggio for example is putting out some amazing and innovative food at The Dining Room at the Langham.
foodie lover
Me, just giving you my families opinion,your right the Chefs Room and the the Laundry are not the same in the big picture but plate for plate. it was better by my experience. The chefs room did 40 covers the nights I dined and the Laundry does 250 every night. However I have heard many people make the same comparison even while dining and after we dined there
foodie lover
Oh one more thing the Chefs Room had 2 cooks and someone doing canape,(took a tour) the Laundry has a staff of 20 just in the kitchen
sous chef
Did you guys watch Top Chef Masters tonight? Which Dallas chef was the keeper of RM seafood for 3 years who gave Rick Moonen much help to be Rick Tesar. Which Dallas Chef was with Marcus S in DC last week Tesar. Hate my chef love my chef,but he is a great person an excellent teacher and an amazing chef who still cooks. Watch what we do in the next few months
Who cares!! John Tesar——so what.
Tesar is awesome and the reason Go fish got a good review.
Tiffany is a real nice lady and certainly has her head on straight.
Jamie a lot of people care he is a great guy and a great chef, Dallas needs more of chefs like him. can't wait for him to open a restaurant. Who are you? Never mind who cares
Tre :}
Top Chef who cares, look what it did to Casey!
There are a FEW really good Chefs in Dallas I can count them on half a hand and Tesar has to be one of the best of them, so what is all the BS about? Live with it.

Danny Reagan might be using his closeness to the New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan to get his job done on the season finale. Who says it is not good to be related to someone important? Promising a cliffhanger for the finale episode before the summer, the "Blue Blood" spoilers offer up a look at a case that was supposed to be kept quiet. According to Mercury News on Friday, Danny comes across department information that is shocking and he gets in trouble for exploring the details.
The episode, "Exiles" finally gives the audience a chance to see what happens when the Reagan family needs to come together to fight crime. For all the times that the family has fought off the idea that they didn't talk shop at home, in this episode it appears essential that the family work together to solve a crime within the police department.
When Danny is placed on modified duty after investigating a case that was off-limits, he realizes he stumbled upon something that someone is trying to keep quiet. When he passes the tip on to his father, Frank is alarmed when he learns the enormity of this case and the internal involvement. Knowing that there could be severe repercussions inside and outside of the department, Frank needs to make some tough choices that might shake up his department.
The "Blue Bloods" story offers up a chance for new cast members to be introduced in the upcoming season and fans might even say goodbye to a few of the regulars on the show. It also will give "Blue Blood" fans an opportunity to reflect on how Frank runs his department and reveals what he does when an internal crisis hits the NYPD. As the season comes to a close, it is intriguing to see how the struggle shapes the new season.
"Blue Bloods" airs Friday at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.

VMWare Network Interface configuration on MacOS
By AndreasB-Oracle on Jan 28, 2010
If you would like to use static IP addresses for you Virtual Machines and you might already have one of them, you might run in trouble connecting to them on a different Host System. Assume your VM's on external HD and you connect them to a different Host System.
I don't know how VMWare choose the IP addresses to be used for the network interface but I noticed it is always a different IP address after installation or on different Host system.
Network Interface configuration after installation of VMWare;
vmnet1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.98.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.98.255
ether 00:50:56:c0:00:01
vmnet8: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 172.16.73.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.73.255
ether 00:50:56:c0:00:08
Because I choose 192.168.250.0 network for all of my VM's I'm unable to connect to them out of the box installing VMWare. In this Blog I'll describe how to change the Host Network Interface configuration for VMWare.
Stop the VMWare network interfaces:
/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion
./boot.sh --stop
VMware Fusion 215242: Shutting down VMware Fusion:
Stopped DHCP service on vmnet1
Disabled hostonly virtual adapter on vmnet1
Stopped DHCP service on vmnet8
Stopped NAT service on vmnet8
Disabled hostonly virtual adapter on vmnet8
Stopped all configured services on all networks
Now you need to edit the locations, networking file and the dhcp.conf, nat.conf below the interface subdirectory. I use the vmnet8 interface for my setup
grep -i vnet_8 locations
remove_answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_HOSTADDR
remove_answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_NETMASK
answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_HOSTADDR 192.168.250.1
answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_NETMASK 255.255.255.0
remove_answer VNET_8_NAT
answer VNET_8_NAT yes
remove_answer VNET_8_DHCP
answer VNET_8_DHCP yes
grep -i vnet_8 networking
answer VNET_8_DHCP yes
answer VNET_8_DHCP_CFG_HASH 2A9C9A6C4638668427E2D91C857EDE91F35FFFC1
answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_NETMASK 255.255.255.0
answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_SUBNET 192.168.250.0
answer VNET_8_NAT yes
answer VNET_8_VIRTUAL_ADAPTER yes
/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmnet8
allow unknown-clients;
default-lease-time 1800; # default is 30 minutes
max-lease-time 7200; # default is 2 hours
subnet 192.168.250.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.250.128 192.168.250.254;
option broadcast-address 192.168.250.255;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.250.2;
option domain-name localdomain;
default-lease-time 1800; # default is 30 minutes
max-lease-time 7200; # default is 2 hours
option routers 192.168.250.2;
host vmnet8 {
hardware ethernet 00:50:56:C0:00:08;
fixed-address 192.168.250.1;
option domain-name-servers 0.0.0.0;
option domain-name "";
option routers 0.0.0.0;
# NAT gateway address
ip = 192.168.250.2
netmask = 255.255.255.0
# VMnet device if not specified on command line
device = /dev/vmnet8
Start the VMWare service and the interface now should have the configuration.
./boot.sh --start
VMware Fusion 215242: Starting VMware Fusion:
Verifying files from package 'com.vmware.fusion.application' on '/'.
Finished verifying files from package 'com.vmware.fusion.application' on '/'.
Started network services
Verifying and re-installing files from /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/thnuclnt
Network Interface configuration for vmnet8 now looks to be perfect:
vmnet8: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.250.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.250.255
ether 00:50:56:c0:00:08
And is it now working? Yes it is....

Rectal Cancer (cont.)
Rectal Cancer Follow-up
Because a risk exists of rectal cancer coming back after treatment, routine follow-up care is necessary. Follow-up care usually consists of regular visits to the doctor's office for physical exams, blood studies, and imaging studies. In addition, a colonoscopy is recommended one year after a diagnosis of rectal cancer. If the findings from the colonoscopy are normal, then the procedure can be repeated every three years.
Rectal Cancer Prevention
Appropriate colorectal screening leading to the detection and removal of precancerous growths is the only way to prevent this disease. Screening tests for rectal cancer include fecal occult blood test and endoscopy. If a family history of colorectal cancer is present in a first-degree relative (a parent or a sibling), then endoscopy of the colon and rectum should begin 10 years before the age of the relative's diagnosis or at age 50 years, whichever comes first.
Rectal Cancer Prognosis and Survival Rate
The outlook for recovery from rectal cancer is unique for each individual. Many factors are involved when considering the chance of survival after rectal cancer treatment.
Long-term survival generally depends upon the stage of the cancer at the time of diagnosis and treatment.
According to stage, the following approximations of the likelihood of survival five years after treatment are as follows:

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" producers are currently searching for stars to join the show for the upcoming fifth season.
Since season four came to a close earlier this month, rumors have been circulating about who will come and who will go, and today, a new possible housewife was named.
According to a March 19 report by TMZ, the wife of John Schneider (who played Bo Duke in "Dukes of Hazzard"), Elly Schneider, is reportedly in talks to become part of the hit Bravo series.
Elly told TMZ that her husband John's agent was contacted by producers to see if she was interested in submitting an audition tape -- which she was.
In her audition tape, Elly takes fans inside her Santa Monica condo, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean. John, who recorded the tape, makes an appearance, but apparently, they aren't actually together at this time. As Elly notes in the video, she lives alone, but she and John appear to be on good terms.
Although Santa Monica is much different than Beverly Hills, it is close by, and for years, it hasn't actually been a requirement to live in Beverly Hills to be on the show. In fact, the only housewives that appears to live in Beverly Hills are Lisa Vanderpump and Carlton Gebbia.

We had a blast with this Halloween photo shoot that we put together for North Valley Magazine (local Arizona magazine) entitled "How to throw a Super Easy Halloween Bash". All of the fun and excitement was captured by the very talented Terah Lake Photography! We wanted to show parents that you can put together a fun Halloween party in no time flat! We put together a fun candy buffet complete with witches brew and worked with Cool Cupcake Toppers who provided these awesome ghost, bat and moon and pumpkin fondant topped cupcakes. The kids crafted and designed halloween sugar cookies with frosting and halloween colored sprinklers and candy eyeballs. The girls wore the cutest Halloween tutu's by Juju's Tutu's (which can be worn year round) and we decorated our party space with some fun decor by Petite Party Studio!

This dress has NEVER BEEN WORN. I bought it after falling in love with the unique style and gorgeous fabric, only to find out that my boss's bride would be wearing the same dress for their wedding just a few months before mine (awkward!). Since it had already been hemmed, I could not return it. Having been married for one month now, I finally feel like I am ready to part with this beautiful gown. I hope that another bride finds it here and falls even more in love with it than I did!
- Alterations: The lower tier has been professionally hemmed to fit a 5'9 bride wearing flats. It is in perfect condition.
- Preservation Method: It has been kept in a garment bag, hanging in the back of my closet for over a year.

Meany you know you can THINK OUT SIDE THE BOX
Just ask Mario
Please don't be so hostile Kirby, Homeworld may seem to be acting mean at first but realise he is only trying to help you. Cruel to be kind as it goes.
You think I AM CRUEL o__O
wow what out for some other peoples
Did I ever say you were cruel? No. I said you were being hostile, two completely different things.
Kirby, maybe you should look up a ******* dictionary instead of flaming members. We are NOT Here to receive this abuse.
Ok I have an idea how about you 2 come back at around 9-10ish pm (EST) and talk to somebody more influential than me
If thats what you suggest I guess we could do that, but do be more welcoming to new members as hostile members will drive new members away.
Also read the newb stickys they are the offical and unoffical law.
I love how these people thought I was a flamer when I am usually a kind person. These people can not take a joke and need to learn that this forum is not too leinnet but theres is too strict. Its a shame Mario was not here or things would have been much more interesting.
I really don't see how they can actually come to the forum and say that this forum is... wrong.
Nothing we do can actually be reported as a violation to anything. In a sense, it's similar to artwork. If you are offended by a certain painting, don't look at it. I know people were offeneded by a naked painting of a suffering Jesus on a cross. Some people wanted to destroy the painting by calling it Pornography.
Just because we do something different doesn't make it wrong.
mmhm. this has to be the worst forum invasion ever
No joke, but hell, it's doing something
Sorry but I'll have to kinda disagree with this, the forum has a good theme
But I agree with the rest of the stuff you said
Wait you joined back in 07 :o
Actually I joined in 2006 (on the old ProBoards forum)
Thats when all the bad stuff happened
all the bad stuff
:pseudo: like what
All the flaming and stuff that caused me to be on their side
whos side
Silver, Homeworld's and Skye's
No Skye is on the cool side

Choosing the best pair of sunglasses
Young people and celebrities are wearing them more and more these days as the "cool" accessory, but sunglasses actually play the very important role of protecting your eyes from the sun's glare.
As the dry season in Rwanda brings more sunlight and fewer clouds, it becomes even more important to protect your eyes from the sun's UV rays, which can cause damage to your eye as well as wrinkles around the eye area.
Here are some things to remember in order to find a pair of sunglasses that protects your eyes—and makes you look good!
Saving your eyes from the sun
Sunglasses may be fashionable, but their most important function is protecting your eyes from dangerous UV rays, which can burn and damage your eyes and eyelids. When you are shopping for sunglasses, make sure the label says that the glasses provide 99 to 100 per cent UV absorption.
Colour matters
Though dark brown sunglasses are the most common, sunglasses come in an array of colours, with each colour having a different function. Here are a few common ones:
- GREY: Grey-tinted sunglasses don't change the colour of the things you are seeing, so they are good for people who want to keep colours intact.
- BLUE: Blue isn't very common for sunglasses, and this may be because it doesn't do a very good job of protecting your eyes. Blue tint makes it more difficult to see, and may produce more glare from the sun.
- YELLOW: Yellow-tinted sunglasses actually make colours look brighter. Yellow also removes blue light in your surroundings, such as from computer screens and cars.
- BROWN: Brown is the most common tint for sunglasses. This colour makes the world look a bit warmer and brighter. It is also helpful in determining whether objects are close or far away from you.
Picking the right shape for your face
Because sunglasses sit right on your face, they affect how you look. The right pair of sunglasses can flatter your facial features, but the wrong pair can make your face look chubby or too long.
What shape of sunglasses you should wear depends on the shape of your head.
Someone can have a square face, which means their jaw line is well-defined. They can also have a heart-shaped face, which means that they have a wider forehead and a small chin.
The sunglasses that look the best on these types of faces are round ones, like the ones Ciara wears below.
Someone can also have a round face, which means your face is about as wide as it is long.
Women with round faces look good in sunglasses that have angles, like the Wayfarer-style glasses worn by Rwandan celebrities Paccy, and Sandra Miraj
Another good choice is aviators, which look good on everybody. including Rwandan singer Knowless.
Finally, someone who has an oval face is very lucky in that that almost all shapes of sunglasses look good on them. Take Beyoncé—because she has an oval-shaped face, she can go for some incredibly daring styles like the ones pictured below
Though these tips are a good guide for choosing sunglasses, the most important thing to remember is that the best sunglasses are the ones that you love and that make you feel good!

On my trip to Texas I fell in love with podcasts. Years ago I used to listen to the Savage Love podcast here and there. But when getting ready for my 3.5 hour flight to Texas I decided to download the podcast series from one of my favorite bloggers. I had passed on this podcast series previously because 1) I don't blog for money, 2) I'm not crafty, 3) I don't make and sell anything. BUT! Lo and behold it was interesting, informative, and held my attention. And I learned a few things.
It's the learning that hooked me. And the way I could close my eyes and lean my head back but still have something helping me pass the time. Throughout each podcast I would hear something I would want to remember for the future – a book to read, another site to check out – and I could pick up my phone and make a note of it while the podcast continued playing. Ranging from 35-45 minutes long, they were the perfect way to pass the time. Each episode also downloads quickly.
So while preparing for my flight home I searched around for other podcasts to download. And found interviews with Amy Poehler, Bryan Cranston, Edie Falco, and Amy Shumer. Did you know Edie Falco and James Gandolfini basically had no friendship/relationship whatsoever with each other outside of their Soprano characters?? Me neither!
I'm on the hunt for all kinds of podcasts now. I found this list online and think I'll try a few. You can always start with the old standbys of NPR's Fresh Air or This American Life. I'll also be listening soon to Jennifer Snyder's Creating Your Own Path series where she interviews creative entrepreneurs who have chosen non-traditional career paths.
Are you a podcast listener? Have any recommendations?

Bryan Forbes
|Bryan Forbes
Bryan Forbes in GTA Vice City Stories.
|GTA Vice City Stories
|Full Name
|Bryan Forbes
|Date of Death
|Downtown, Vice City
|Main Affiliations
Lance Vance
Victor Vance
Jerry Martinez
Diego and Armando Mendez
|Blue Sentinel
|Voiced by
|Daniel Oreskes
Bryan Forbes is an undercover agent for the DEA in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. He is just a new employer for Victor and Lance Vance when he provides missions for them, and aids Victor on his rise in power in Vice City. His white suit and pink shirt resemble those of Sonny Crockett from the 1980s Miami Vice television series. His suit also shares the same color with Lance's outfit in Vice City.
Lance soon finds out that he is an undercover cop, and he and Victor capture him and take him to an abandoned building where they tie him up and get some info from him. He is killed by Victor when he tries to escape after duping Lance and Victor into entering a gay white supremacist bar, Lance did not have any intention of killing him because he did not yet reveal where a big cocaine shipment was, however Lance learns that Jerry Martinez will be receiving the shipment.
Later on, in the mission The Mugshot Longshot, Lance uses Forbes's ID card to prove to Armando Mendez that Jerry Martinez tried to steal Mendez's Cocaine. He sticks Martinez's photo onto Forbes's ID card to fabricate that Martinez is an FBI agent.
The official GTA Vice City Stories website features a news report with pictures of a man in the same suit with his face blurred. The news report mentions an undercover FBI agent named "Agent BF",[1] leading some to believe that the man in the picture is indeed Bryan Forbes.
Bryan was voiced by Daniel Oreskes.
Forbes captured by Lance and Victor Vance.

- The Audition (Voice)
- Money for Nothing (Boss)
- Caught as an Act
- Leap and Bound (Boss)
- The Bum Deal (Boss/Killed)
- Bryan Forbes originally had a moustache in the beta version. [Verification Needed]
- There might have been a different story line with Forbes, as in one of the screenshots of GTA VCS prior to release date shows Vic Vance driving Forbes while being shot at by the Mendez Brothers. There is no mission similar to this in the game.(?)
- ↑ From the official GTA Vice City Stories website:
Jenny Mitchell: "MeTV News has been speaking to an undercover FBI agent about the problems currently facing Vice City. Agent BF, who spoke to us off the record on the condition we protected his anonymity, told us the situation in Vice City is now completely out of control."

By John Gideon, Information Manager, VotersUnite.org and VoteTrustUSA
November 25, 2005
It seems that the reports from California are less than accurate. They say that the test machine will be chosen from among machines used in 17 counties. That has never been agreed to by the state or Diebold. In fact, Hari Hursti has never been asked to fly over from Finland and no details have been set-up with BBV, according to Bev Harris. For some reason either the state or Diebold, or both, are misrepresenting the facts. A call to the California Elections Division found that everyone seems to be taking the day off.
Arizona: Thousands with older driver's license could cause voting snafu
California: Expert to try to hack into electronic voting machines as part of test
California: Hacker to try to attack state voting machines
California: Hacker gets blessing to hole democracy
Florida: Volusia County - Alternate voting machine is costly
Georgia: Voter ID bill not an obstacle for minorities
Maryland: Charles County – Opinion - To ID or not to ID
Missouri: Mississippi County - Bids opened for voting machines
North Carolina: Catawba County - Voting machines might be kept
(Hart Intercivic)
Washington: King County not alone in how it reviews voter registrations

It's been an interesting few weeks – work has been frustrating but with moments of real satisfaction.
Two months of intense activity culminated in a trip down the Thames from the 2012 Olympics site with the CEO of the Port of London Authority in no less than the Royal Barge! And what's more, I was given the opportunity to take the helm from Battersea bridge to Westimnster. I didn't like to tell them I couldn't see where I was going! I just followed a tug towing four barges of garbage down stream.
Aston evicted by piggies….
I've just got back from the farm – had a very productive weekend, but had a bit of a fright as we thought the pigs were going to overwinter in the barn where I keep the spare Aston and Malcolm keeps (some of) his spare Renaults. In the end the pigs will be staying up at the top of the farm – but we've moved all the cars into the lock up barn anyway.
Robert has been over from Spain for a few days – just long enough for him to get his Rochdale Olympic finished – it's a lovely colour and compliments Malcolm's prize R4.
Wensleydale and Camembert…!
The Aston Engine
So far the engine seems in remarkably good condition. There is evidence that it's been rebuilt once before. The rough stuff probably came at the end of it's career as a TV star. Gary pointed to a very gungy looking water intake. – "What do you think that is?" he asked – "Buggered if I know." I retorted….
Turns out it's egg…! Apparantly, a cheap and dirty way to plug a leaking radiator is to crack an egg into it. And that's what the crew must have done in Sardinia during filming, when I inspected the radiator that came out of the car, it was indeed damaged and similarly filled with scrambled egg. So a new radiator it is then.
Engine number – it's the original engine.
Top end
Bottom end with sump removed showing crank shaft
And the engine bay is almost ready to welcome the engine back when it's been put back together. Although there is little major wrong, I've still got an eye-wateringly expensive shopping list of thins we need for the rebuild.
New engine mounts
Oil cooler hoses.
Oil filter housing
The Very Tasty chicken pie we had for lunch….(Thanks Michael)

Consumer Comfort Index And State Of The Economy Almost Record Lows
- Printer-friendly version
- Nov 3, 2011 10:15 AM
- 46
one of the few places we'll see any mention of this. thank you ZH.
Lets buy more iCrap
I'm a consumer and am not worried. I buy necessities and very little else.
I suppose if the consumers preferred to be 'unworried' they would stop buying crap?
Obviously, they prefer to buy crap so they can continue to be worried.
Let them eat cake as long as the ATMs continue to spit out dollars...
Isn't "livestock" a synonym for "consumer?"
"Isn't "livestock" a synonym for "consumer?"
I don't know but when I was a kid we were called 'citizens'... and we didn't need 24/7 commercials to tell us what we needed.
Psst.... Throw away the tv and the commercials go with it. Or better, sell it and buy a noose.
what's with the attempted teabagging ... comment removed ... from now on making damn sure there isn't a prior pair of descending testicles posted ...
It's telling that one of the United States most prosperous businesses doesn't sell anything anyone needs.
Ah, excellent point RNeville... I don't own an Ipad, Epad, Iphone, Xbox, etc... but someone told me they are edible.
We may all be living in a van down by the river, but at least I can still run these Apps.
The record low comfort index correlates with the record high number of people receiving EBT (food stamp) cards, with 46 million people (15% of the US population), up 8.4% from last year, up 1.2% in one month. How can you have 2.5% GDP growth in the economy and a jump in people receiving food stamps?? The food stamp statistics are also ignored by the media. All they want to talk about is something that may have happened 15 years ago to Cain. America's number one growth business is issuing EBT cards!!!! JPM handles that for Uncle Sam, thank you.
It is obvious that you do not pay enough attention to the news. Kim Kardashian is the news; nothing else. I feel like I know her and her ex so well... The sale of tissues alone from her tragedy should raise the GDP a good .5%
The Cain controversy helps the Ron Paul campaign. I hope they keep beating that horse. I swear all this Herman Cain euphoria is a gigantic bubble that will burst (just hopefully it holds out long enough to subtract votes away from Perry & Romney to further devide the party).
Clearly the economy is doing poorly so instead of saving for hard times we must go out and spend so we can feel better about ourselves.
Spend, and spend NOW! On food, guns, ammo, etc.
As far as that goes I'm well positioned. Now I'm swapping paper for silver and gold.
Brilliant! I am partial to "convert," but it's all good. Apart from necessities, fewer and fewer are "buying" anything. They're "swapping," "converting," and "storing" for that which shall come.
They are buying before the currency is completely worthless. Gainesville Coin is running out of physical to sell somedays.
How is this so with the miraculos recovery in unemployment claims? Under 400K, lol!!!
...to be revised upward soon.
Even if not revised upwards, it's a bad number. It's just been printed so many times that folks have gotten accustomed to it. Kinda like $3.60 gasoline.
Death by 1,000 paper (fiat) cuts.
Foundations of a bullmarket.
We promise.
Heading to Target, then Costco and putting it all on my VISA.
Majority of this drop in comfort is Corzine and it's probably going lower as I can't imagine a cell is too comfy.
and yet bloomberg continues to campaign for obama and more pain
"as perhaps burning through savings is starting to reach its tipping point"
BWAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAHAHAHA.........what savings?
One problem tapped-out consumers have is access to credit. Until the flow of consumer credit returns to normal this data series will remain depressed. Unfortunately the $800 Billion TARP and $14 Trillion of Fed easing never trickled down to mainstreet.
right on depression - i get cc offers daily with a mediocre credit score - racked up 5 new cards in just the past 6 mos to get reward bonuses and points
At least the people had the money in the Weimar, pre-cursor to the Nazis....gee makes you wonder what we'll get huh? LOL
SPY should be at 900, not 1250.
Just shows you how strong the tape is.
SPG still sitting at record highs as shopping malls continue to be the asset class of choice during the worst recession in decades.
No, it shows how Bernank is able to use mountains of free money to create illusions in a dead-empty market.
Big deal.
Worst recession in decades is ahead of us. Let's see how the hopium does then...
All that's happening is predictable, as there are 7 stages that any major economy goes through. Those who know how it works profit & massive wealth is transferred to them. You can see what one millionaire has to say about the 7 stages countries go through & how you can profit like the ultra-rich during these tough times.

Stop the shilling. Most of us are already millionaires and will soon be billionaires.
Well, the 99% is down at Zuccotti Park, pissing everyone off who lives and works nearby. They are doing nothing but wasting time, but the media love it! Why don't they march on Washington, confront the idiot policymakers who they put into office? Our plutocracy won't last long if the Food Stamps aren't also joined by jobs. Obama is all talk, talk, talk. Change? Ha! I'm moving to Canada...
Looks like we are not far enough along on our fence. Damn!
Yep, these geniuses are blocks away from wall street having absolutely no effect on the people they allegedly want to bring down instead they are destroying the small businesses in the area and harassing the residents. If they truly wanted to rage against the machine they would be in DC or at least City Hall. But ending the government/corporate alliance is the last thing they want, they just want a piece of the pie for themselves.
In reponse to Snidley Whipsnae: I don't know but when I was a kid we were called 'citizens'... and we didn't need 24/7 commercials to tell us what we needed.
Concentrated mass media, the other WMD.
Citizens? Ha! We are all simply "consumers" (read sheep/lemmings that do what the TV tells us). Our collective human thought process has been destroyed by the continued media zombification of ourselves and our children. Most people have neither the time, energy, or interest in the political process, but take away their MP3s, their videos, or their TV/Movie/Tivo/Facebook/YouTube/iPhone/Android etc. etc. etc. and they are gobsmacked and angry. And even then, they'll rack up the debt to keep themselves deep in whatever AAPL or other hipness shows up on MTV/Cable. Aaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh. Am I upset? Naaaah, not much! It's just the state of the nation and its decline, that's all...
The Bernankes: Just keep living your life.....the DOW is up guys! Lindsay Lohan got her setence commuted and she's posing nude in Playboy for 1 million! Life is GOOD!!!111
I saw that on youtube. He basically told the American consumer to go straight to hell, but don't forget to pay your debt on the way down. No consumers needed in his printed money equity markets.
Confidence today best not to be measured against confidence charts that contain date thru 20 years ago. Perception is the law of trends and the current view is weak. Since the record low was only 3 years past, maybe this is the new norm? Hey, they're depressed in Buffalo, NY and don't even know it thanks to lake effect snow but in Cali? Life's a beach.
New Amerikan Comfort = Food stockpile...check; ammo...check; firewood...check..etc.
