NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, Mass. -- An army of law-enforcement personnel, with two police dogs on leashes, swarmed the home of New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez on Saturday afternoon and spent nearly four hours inside and around the grounds.
Investigators left at 5:30 p.m. with several brown bags, presumably filled with evidence. A spokeswoman for the Bristol District Attorney's office declined to comment on the investigation Saturday.
About a dozen officers arrived around 1:45 p.m., as neighbors gathered with the media across the street to watch the action. Hernandez and his lawyer were believed to be inside the home.
Police concentrated on a large doghouse or playhouse in the back yard and a wooded area near the home. They also searched Hernandez's white SUV, which was parked in the driveway. Locksmiths were involved, including one with a crowbar.
Detectives and uniformed officers who searched the home, its backyard and playhouse did not comment to reporters on what they were looking for or what caused them to return to the house.
Hernandez has been in the middle of a homicide investigation since a jogger found the body of Hernandez's friend, 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, a semipro football player, in an industrial park Monday, less a mile from Hernandez's home. Police said Lloyd had been shot in the head.
The Boston Globe reported that police have surveillance video that shows Hernandez and Lloyd together hours before he was believed to have been shot Monday morning.

HEFTY PRICE: Legal troubles could cost Hernandez nearly $37M
LOCAL VERDICT: Townspeople believe he's guilty
There was widespread media speculation, and some erroneous reports, that an arrest warrant would be, or had been, issued for Hernandez on Friday, but a clerk in the Attleboro District Court told USA TODAY Sports no arrest warrant had been issued by the time court offices shut for the weekend at 4:30 p.m.
The clerk said that although no warrant had been issued before the close of business, it doesn't mean Hernandez is in the clear for the weekend. The clerk said the North Attleborough Police Department could issue the paperwork between close of business and Monday morning.
Lloyd family members said Friday the two men were together the night before Lloyd died. They said Lloyd had been dating Hernandez's fiancee's sister for about two years.
TROUBLED PAST: Prior incidents come into focus
Police have searched in and around Hernandez's sprawling home several times this week. Hernandez's attorney Michael Fee has acknowledged media reports about the state police search of Hernandez's home but said he wouldn't have any comment on it.
ABC News has reported that persons with knowledge of the investigation have said Hernandez smashed his cell phone and destroyed surveillance videos from the cameras at his home, and that his home was cleaned by a crew of maids hours after police believe Odin was killed.
The Boston Globe reported a police source who said Lloyd was killed where the body was found and that Lloyd had been shot multiple times.
Police in nearby Providence, R.I., said they had assisted Massachusetts state police and North Attleborough police with activity related to the Hernandez investigation at a strip club named Club Desire. It was unclear if they believed Lloyd and Hernandez might have been at the club in the days before Lloyd died. A reporter was escorted out of the club Friday afternoon before she could speak with employees or patrons.
The Bristol County district attorney has not released any information, other than saying Lloyd's death was being treated as a homicide. Three search warrants were issued in the investigation earlier in the week but have not yet been made public.
Family members say Lloyd was never in trouble.
"I want the person that killed my son to be brought to justice," said Lloyd's mother, Ursula Ward. "That's my first-born child, my only boy child, and they took him away from me. ... I wouldn't trade him for all the money in the world. And if money could bring him back I would give this house up to bring my son back. Nothing can bring my son back."
Family members said they had heard from Lloyd's girlfriend but not from Hernandez since Lloyd's death.
Hernandez was gone from his home for most of the day Friday, including when two state police officers knocked on his door. He returned home with his attorney around 5 p.m.
Patriots spokesman Stacey James has said the team does not anticipate commenting publicly during the police investigation. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told USA TODAY Sports that Commissioner Roger Goodell's office has been monitoring the events.
Meanwhile, CytoSport, a Benicia, Calif.-based company that makes Muscle Milk and other supplements for athletes, said Friday it was ending Hernandez's endorsement contract, effective immediately, because of the investigation.
Hernandez said after he was drafted that he had failed a drug test while with the Gators and had been upfront with NFL teams about the issue.
Earlier this week, a man filed a lawsuit in South Florida claiming Hernandez shot him in the face after they argued at a strip club there. Alexander Bradley's lawsuit accuses Hernandez of negligence, among other things, suggesting that the shooting may have been accidental.
Hernandez's attorney did not respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit.
The Patriots drafted Hernandez out of Florida in 2010. Since then, he has combined with Rob Gronkowski to form one of the top tight end duos in the NFL. He missed 10 games last season with an ankle injury and had shoulder surgery in April but is expected to be ready for training camp. Last summer, the Patriots gave Hernandez a five-year contract worth $40 million, but he could forfeit most of the money if he is incarcerated or suspended by the league because of any involvement in the crime.

Hard Times
Jason Gregor
May 13 2009 02:26PM
The Coyotes have won a court ruling that will force the NHL to prove they have an actual offer for Jerry Reinsdorf in place. If they don't, this could get really messy and open the door for other teams to follow suit. And if they don't Mr. Bettman's reputation will take a massive hit. While it isn't clear if the NHL will be able to produce this offer, it is becoming more clear that some of the members of the NHL Owners Club are in more trouble than many of us have been lead to believe.
Here is a story from the Toronto Star that says things could be bleak in many places, starting with Tom Hicks and the Dallas Stars:
While the Phoenix Coyotes turned up the heat on the NHL yesterday, the owner of the Dallas Stars appears to be laying enough kindling and timber to start another bankruptcy bonfire. The Coyotes won a court ruling that will force the NHL to tell all it knows about White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf's mysterious bid to purchase the Coyotes to a Phoenix bankruptcy court judge. The NHL must produce all documents related to Reinsdorf's bid today, ruled judge Redfield Baum. The league has said it was close to announcing Reinsdorf as a white knight who would keep the team in Glendale, Ariz., when Jerry Moyes thrust the Coyotes into bankruptcy. The Moyes camp wants to see how good the offer was. "The purpose of the production is to examine the content of those discussions and the potential offer outstanding by Mr. Reinsdorf related to these purported interests," read the motion filed by Moyes lawyer Thomas Salerno. Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie has made a $212.5 million (all figures U.S.) offer to purchase the Coyotes and move them to Hamilton as part of the franchise's bankruptcy proceedings that are being challenged by the NHL. But Phoenix is only one of the many franchises in trouble during the recession. Tom Hicks, who owns the Dallas Stars and baseball's Texas Rangers, defaulted a month ago on $525 million in loans tied to the teams, starting the clock ticking in a showdown with lenders that could see the Stars end up in bankruptcy proceedings in October. At the time, Hicks said he was trying to work out a new deal with his creditors, and perhaps bring in new investors, but has been mum on the situation since. Dallas Stars president Jeff Cogen referred calls to a public relations firm, which said there was "nothing" to report. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly did not respond to an email. A group of 40 financial institutions and other investors hold the debt in Hicks Sports Group, which owns the two teams. It would take 180 days for lenders to foreclose on defaulted loans, according the standard deals involving the NHL. That gives Hicks another five months to find alternate financing, but lenders are tight with their money these days, and those who follow sports financing closely worry it's inevitable that the Stars will follow the Coyotes into bankruptcy. "He's heading in the same direction," said a broker specializing in sports financing, who didn't want his name used because of his dealings with the NHL. "It could be the second team in Chapter 11," said Andrew Zimbalist, an economics professor at Smith College, who specializes in sports business. "When Hicks put himself in that circumstance, he's creating a lot of difficulty for himself. He's going to squirm a little bit. Whatever leverage he had, he loses some of it. "You go to your creditors and try to re-organize your loans," added Zimbalist. "(If) they say no deal, you can declare bankruptcy or sell the franchise or go to other banks and borrow more money." Hicks also co-owns Liverpool, a soccer team in England's Premier League, another franchise looking for new ownership. His holdings in Liverpool – shared with Montreal Canadiens owner George Gillett –are outside Hicks Sports Group. None involved believe the Stars are in danger of moving. Dallas is believed to be a strong market with the team able to turn a profit, especially if it makes the playoffs. It's been a bad year for bankruptcies and the NHL. William (Boots) Del Biaggio faces jail time after having been found guilty of fraud for the way he helped finance his minority purchase of the Nashville Predators. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Thrashers owners are fighting with each other, Tampa is looking for new investors and the New York Islanders are hinting at leaving unless they get a new arena. "There could be other (bankrupt) teams down the road," said Zimbalist. "There are a lot of teams – as it were – skating on thin ice."
It will most certainly be the summer of change for the Edmonton Oilers, with a new coach coming, some trades and one or two possible UFA signings. It might be more interesting off the ice, to see how Gary Bettman puts out all of these fires. ould the financially stable Oilers benefit from this situation and pillage and pilfer players from financially strapped teams? Will the NHL be forced to contract some teams in the next few years? Is relocation back to Canada inevitable?
It is a lock that there will be another Canadian team in the NHL within two years, and maybe we'll even return to having eight teams some day. I think contraction is unlikely and that the NHL will try attempt to relocate teams to Kansas City, Seattle and Canadian markets before actual contraction would occur.
I don't see the Oilers being able to pilfer just yet, but I could see it being a realistic option in the future. Especially when the new rink is built, because the team will generate more money with more suites and a capacity of around 18,000 which would be more than 1,000 more than they have now at Rexall. In any scenario you personally would chose, the days of NHL teams continually outbidding one another for high priced talent could be numbered in many markets.
@ Jack Bauer: Personally I can't though it may seem something like the Cracker Cats last couple of seasons in Edmonton before the Katz group took over. But can the situation in Phoenix be far off that, I mean aside from the new arena, thanks to the Suns, the Coyotes orginazation spent their days on street corners begging people to come to the games. How far away do you really think they were from having Wayne and the players acting as door greeters for the 20 fans per game. Ya your right that would be amazing!!! Go Bettman!!
@ Jason Gregor: Hey Jason, just wonderig aloud and was hoping you could comment on it. If the Arizona courts grant Balsillie the right to purchase the team (and even move the team as the owner), is there anything to stop the league from removing the Coyotes from membership in the National Hockey League?
If the story about Dallas is true, this only further reinforces my theory (one I'm sure many before have had) that hockey, no matter how great a game it is, will never have the visceral resonance in hot climate markets to take root in a large enough percentage of the population. In hot cities like Dallas, Phoenix, etc, hockey is a RICH KID SPORT! If it wasn't for shinny it would just about be here also. But because in cold climate markets people actually own skates and sticks, hockey is able to take hold in a sports fans mind. However in a hot climate market, the costs of playing hockey are out of reach for the majority of the population. If you're a working class kid are you gonna spend thousands of dollars a year on hockey, or are you gonna spend ten bucks on a basketball and go play in the sun with a bunch of friends. Just look at Snoop Dogg, he parades hockey fandom like a gold chain or a bottle of Courvoisier. It's a status symbol of the rich in hot markets, and will never have enough mass appeal (with a FEW notable exceptions) to take hold. I say good riddance to Bettman, the Coyotes, Stars, Preds, Panthers, Thrashers, and any I may have forgot. Whether they re-locate or simply fold, good riddance. And the sooner the better, because in two or three years time, chances are Obama won't still be handing out free-money-for-every-incompetent-corporate-jag-off.

The Firebird
by gwilson on Aug.04, 2010, under Uncategorized
The Firebird. Muscle car. Classical music. Gretsch guitar (:-)). AKA – The Phoenix. Mythical creature that was consumed by flames and then arose from the ashes. Old regenerated as new – emergence of new life, new adventures. Cultures around the world embrace their own versions of this myth.
Such emergence is taking place in the BIMS and Biology labs and spaces. We are now seeing the science facilities begin to take shape as the DEstruction is completed and the CONstruction ramps up. Today's visit to the building showed metal studs going up to form the skeleton for the walls of the new floorplan. Outside, pipe was being cut and threaded to supply gas and water to specific locations in the new construction.
Can it all get done in two weeks? All the walls and case work and equipment and furniture? Who are we kidding? Extreme Home Makeover this is not – Ty and crew, where are you when we need you? My best guess is move-in and celebration will coincide with Homecoming 2010. However, with every day we will find ourselves one step closer to move-in and a new way of teaching and learning.

Great Design, OK Overall
Pros: Excellent SQ, beautiful design, very affordable (for some)
Cons: Bass can at times creep up on the mids, Isolation
Here Goes My First Head-Fi Review!
- Just to let you know what your getting into, these don't NEED an amp, but they do like em'. Don't worry about amping because you don't need it, it'll be a little quiet though.
- They are semi-open.
- 26ohms
- Emphasize the bass (don't all portable cans do that?)
Build- 7/7- Absolutely fantastic build. The headband is real leather (or at least the top that is pressed with Philips on top of it), and the build is conposed mostly of metal. The wire is covered in fabric. I actually pulled the earcups to a 180° angle to both test the build and improve clamping pressure.
Comfort- 9/12- The first time you put them on, you'll notice the brutal clamping pressure, and im someone who thinks the dt770s are a little light at times with the clamp. Now all you have to do is stretch the hell out of the headband and you'll get very favoring results, but right now they do clamp quite a bit.
Looks-1.75/2- Theres no reason to have this section but I'll throw it in there anyway. They look great, its just the cord that sticks fron the top of the cans can look a little goofy, but I still like em'. I still think the black momentum(don't have) looks the best, followed by the MDR 1R(do have).
Isolation-4/6-Compared to the 1rs, these do have a little less isolation, since they are semi-open. The isolation is just enough for me to use on the train and bus, but i do loose the bass. These isolate just enough for me to hear people talk to me, when the music is played low, which i love! The isolation will not be a turn off if you know what your getting into.
Bass- 9/10-The bass is pumping! I like it for dance/electronic and rap, r&b, and pop music. The bass is emphasized, but I don't think it's crazy bass. It's very tight and quick, and it goes down deep. Its tighter aand deeper than the 1r's bass, and just tighter than the dt770's (80 ohm).
Mids- 7.5/10- I'm not gojng to say they're crystal clear mids because their not. They are pushed back a tiny bit, but move up as you burn them in. The sound is very smooth and warm, and the upper bass does interfere with the lower mids. Eq fixes the hell out of it though!
Highs-8.5/10- You know, iI've never been able to succefully attampt talikg about the highs. All I know is that they're not emphasized, or recessed. I do boost them because i'm a bit of a treble head, and i just like the air and space it can give some headphones. They're very even sounding, but I don't even know how high they extend or anything. I just like them more than the MA900s and 1r's highs.
With eq, these can become just a different set of cans. The soundstage expands, and they no longer sound congested.
The MA900s have better, clearer mids and a wider and deeper soundstage, the the l1s have better highs and bass extension (and quantity).
The 1r's… The 1rs are just more upfront… More up close and personal. The bass I think at least isn't as solid or deep as the l1s, and the highs are around the same level. The L1s are a little clearer though and have a deeper doundstage, at least with eq. It does depend on what you looking for.
I just flat out am not a fan of the dt770s.
The ma900s trash all cans in comfort, and the 1rs are a little behind it.
This is all just coming out a a sansa clip zip, ipod touch 4g, galaxy player 5, or ipad 2, plus a fiio e6. No super huge power requirements.
I overall enjoy these cans and they work well with my 1rs and ma900s.
They get 46.75/57 which is about 82%.
Update: The comfort didn't increase, and as time goes on, I've started to dislike these. The bass simply isn't tight enough.
Update 2: These don't really compete well with other portables.

'Affordable Underground Furniture': D.I.Y. Coffin Clubs Catch On in New Zealand
February 25, 2017
Hemophilia refers to a group of bleeding disorders in which blooding takes a long time.
Some types of disorder include:
When you bleed, the body sends out a special protein to help the blood clot. There is a higher risk of bleeding when one or more of these clotting factors are missing.
Hemophilia is caused by a lack of clotting factor VIII or IX in the blood. In most cases, hemophilia is passed down through families (inherited). Most of the time, it is passed to male children.
The main symptom of hemophilia is bleeding. Mild cases may not be detected until until later in life, after excessive bleeding following surgery or an injury.
In the worst cases, bleeding occurs for no reason. Internal bleeding may occur anywhere and bleeding into joints is common.
Most often, hemophilia is diagnosed after a person has an abnormal bleeding episode Tests can also be done to detect the problem when other family members have the condition.
The most common treatment is to replace the missing clotting factor in the blood through a vein (intravenous infusions).
You will need extra care during surgery if you have a bleeding disorder. Therefore, it is important to get a diagnosis. It will also help you to warn family members who might be affected.
Joining a support group where members share common issues can relieve the stress of a chronic disease.
Many people with hemophilia are able to do most normal activities. However, some people have major bleeding events, The most common of these is bleeding into the spaces around the joints.
A small number of people with hemophilia may die from severe bleeding.

Skip to comments.New Japanese finance minister says elderly should 'hurry up and die'
Posted on 01/22/2013 9:33:03 AM PST by SeekAndFind
The minister, Taro Aso, is only saying out loud what many government officials in countries with nationalized health care are thinking: people are getting older, living longer, and becoming a drain on our national budgets.
From the Guardian:
Japan's new government is barely a month old, and already one of its most senior members has insulted tens of millions of voters by suggesting that the elderly are an unnecessary drain on the country's finances.
Taro Aso, the finance minister, said on Monday that the elderly should be allowed to "hurry up and die" to relieve pressure on the state to pay for their medical care.
"Heaven forbid if you are forced to live on when you want to die. I would wake up feeling increasingly bad knowing that [treatment] was all being paid for by the government," he said during a meeting of the national council on social security reforms. "The problem won't be solved unless you let them hurry up and die."
Aso's comments are likely to cause offence in Japan, where almost a quarter of the 128 million population is aged over 60. The proportion is forecast to rise to 40% over the next 50 years.
The remarks are also an unwelcome distraction for the new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, whose first period as Japan's leader ended with his resignation after just a year, in 2007, partly due to a string of gaffes by members of his cabinet.
I am probably too old to see it, but I have little doubt that eventually, a "Solyent Green" scenario will become real and government will set up suicide centers for the elderly to "hurry up and die" if they wish.
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
I wouldn't cry if one of the elderly capped this minister.
What a boneheaded thing to say in a society that places a high value on their older citizens.
Don't we still have Enola Gay around somewhere?
But seriously, I was taught that going around saying how you think certain people need to die is a good way to get your own lamp blown out. Maybe thats a Texas thing.
He'd better be careful what he wishes for - he's 71 himself.
From an Internet source: "[Democrat] Richard D. Lamm of Colorado said Tuesday. [Talking about seriously ill elderly] 'You've got a duty to die and get out of the way,' said the 48-year-old Governor."
Side note: To see the look on the faces of Japanese tourists when they come upon her is interesting.
About 25% over 60 is bad enough, but 40% over 60? That's catastrophic, no society can survive that. Japan will probably be wiped out long before 2050.
Even Asian societies are losing respect for their elders. The selfish young quickly forget the society and its comforts were built by generations past and the living elderly. They say, Pass on, die now that we young must provide some support for you old ones!"
They say that now, will they be willing to step off a cliff when years pass and they are old? You reap what you sow.
Undoubtedly he has the resources to pay for his own healthcare, or it won't apply to valuable public servants like him, or something.
Liberalism is the culture of destruction and death vs. a culture which builds and cares for their own...
Sarah Palin was right on the trend toward Death Panels. Charles Dickens was right on the attitude of the elite ruling class. I just hope conservatives are wrong on where this experiment with socialized medicine and national socialism is taking our country.
At what age is it "appropriate" for this guilt to kick in???
It is only a matter of time.
Taro Aso...
Aso, as-sole.
Drop dead, lowlife scumbag.
Yep. Once killing the unborn was considered okay it's a very slippery slope for anyone else deemed to be inconvenient.
Congressman Grayson, call your office.
The one thing, Progressives, socialists, Marxists, statists all have in common is their love of killing all at the same time successfully taking the moral high ground on life (only because of a willing press).
From abortions to culling the elderly herd, death is their common bond. Remember the slut who said she would give bill clinton a bj as long as he kept abortion legal?
Vermin like George B. Shaw wanted death panels where you had to justify your existence. He has quite a following in the progressive community.
It must be a fine balancing act to keep enough people alive so as to support the ruling elite's life style while at the same time killing off as many as possible to keep population down.
Maybe, if the citizens of the world had an average IQ over 20, we would insist, leaders lead in every action they impose on the rest of us. Abort their kids. Make the leaders be the point person on the ground in all battles between nations. Leaders are our enemy. Millions will dance on the head of a pin to try and refute that statement.
I think the whole point of this thread is how wrong it is to view death as a solution to problems. Death IS the problem.
(See tagline.)
"About 25% over 60 is bad enough, but 40% over 60? Thats catastrophic, no society can survive that. Japan will probably be wiped out long before 2050."
If anything, by 2050 Japan will be in comparatively better shape for the future than we here in the United States.
Not because Japan has too many "elderly". Regardless of the average age of their population, they will still have a country in which virtually 100% of the citizens are "Japanese" (by birth and culture). It's all-but impossible for a non-Japanese citizen to become "Japanese". They protect their culture and their ethnicity.
Contrast that with -here-, where our cultural/ethnic demographics are changing with the speed of a Kansas cyclone. The United States — if it's still even a "united" group of states by then — will have more "young people", but fewer and fewer of them will actually be "Americans"...
That's been Obama's plan since the start of this health care bill.With the number of Baby Boomers getting up in age they are going to be consuming more of the health care dollar.
So not only will the government start rationing health care they will have to encourage assisted suicide.
It's the only way the Government will be able to afford the increase in the cost of health care as time go's on.
Yeah, we're just waiting on the Sandman to come.
Youth, or at least this generation, really have no concept, and should the worst happen, they have the least ability of any to survive it.
Would you mind if I appropriated part of your comment for my new tag line?
"...its a very slippery slope for anyone else deemed to be inconvenient."
Can we designate people of station in legislative, executive and judicial position for that slippery slope? Maybe we could even provide skis or toboggans.
"...its a very slippery slope for anyone else deemed to be inconvenient."

Near future headline:
New Japanese Finance Minister invited onward to join Ancestors.
Id be honored!
"I think the whole point of this thread is how wrong it is to view death as a solution to problems. Death IS the problem."
Thats how liberals think. Snuffing someone with an actual design to kill you is not a problem, thats self defense. If a Jew or Kulak, found out about the plans of a Hitler or Stalin before they could get into gear. If they were sure they were serious,, i think it's fine to rub 'em out. It might even be a christian duty.
It sure as hell is common sense 101.
What you're suggesting sure as hell isn't self-defense.
Lead by example I say.

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Writer and political commentator George Will told a University of Mississippi audience Tuesday that the political divide in America reduces to a tension between liberty and equality.
"The stakes are high; we're arguing about really fundamental things: What is the real competence and proper scope of government?" said Will, an ABC commentator, author of 13 books and the most widely syndicated newspaper columnist in the nation.
Will, a noted conservative thinker, was the featured speaker and guest for Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College's Spring Convocation.
"Today, liberals stress equality – not just of opportunity but of outcome," he said. "Conservatives today stress freedom over equality."
He noted that such prominent liberals as the late Sen. Ted Kennedy and Vice President Joe Biden have claimed that government institutes all the positive change in the nation. Will countered with the transformative examples of Eli Whitney's cotton gin, John Deere's steel plow and Ray Kroc's hamburger chain.
"We're arguing about fundamental things. What happens when the government thinks it knows everything – when it's smarter than markets?" he said. He noted that during the Depression, a tailor was arrested for advertising a 35-cent price on suit pressing, which violated the New Deal's regulated price of 40 cents.
Will, joking that "I fake my optimism," said that 49 percent of Americans receive some sort of transfer payment from government, and 35 percent receive means-tested payments intended for those in economic plight.
"We are facing the most astonishing tipping point a democracy can face – the point at which a majority of people become either government employees or dependents of the government," he said.
Despite student loans and other programs for the young, Will said, "Any welfare state exists primarily to transfer wealth from young and middle-aged working people to elderly people in the form of pensions and health care."
Dependency, he added, also worsens a host of social ills by encouraging fatherless families.
While Will said the purpose of his talk was not prescriptive, he did offer at least a few mitigations for the nation's economic woes. He suggested making Medicare a means-tested program, and urged individual involvement in paying for health care.
"For all the trillions we talk about, the real problem is 12 cents," Will said, explaining that individuals directly pay only 12 cents of every dollar of health care costs, even though high-deductible policies foster lower spending with no reduction in quality of outcome.
Even the national debt, he said, reflects the question of government vs. individual responsibility.
"We're giving the American people $10 worth of government and charging taxpayers only $6.50," Will said. "If the name Ponzi springs to mind, you're on the right track."
"The wrong government policies can, over time, wear away, as water wears a stone, the confidence in the competencies of the American people," he said.

Quotes of the Week: Transfer deadline day, Odemwingie, Redknapp, FA Cup shocks and more
19:36 03 February 2013
PA Wire/Press Association Images
It's been quite a week that began with a series of FA Cup shock and culminated in a bizzarre transfer deadline day. Here London24 brings you the best quotes of the week.
Its fine. West Brom was my home but this is a new chapter. I love West Brom and always will. I am optimistic. A few good players have arrived here (at QPR) and I am happy with the trust Harry Redknapp has in me. The last few results have given us a chance to stay up. I dont think the owners will bring in so many players if they dont think it will happen. I hope West Brom are happy with what they will get and they hope to get players themselves.
Peter Odemwingie from his car outside Loftus Road
Albion can confirm that no agreement was reached with QPR over the transfer of Peter Odemwingie before the closure of the January window and that the striker remains under contract at The Hawthorns. The club were extremely disappointed to witness TV footage of Odemwingie arriving at Loftus Road on Thursday evening despite further talks between the two Barclays Premier League sides proving fruitless. Odemwingie was also never given permission to speak to QPR about a potential move.
West Bromwich Albion clarify their position on Odemwingie
I came to this club (West Brom) in a wholly unprofessional way. I wasnt given any written permission by Lokomotiv Moscow but I arrived at this club. I did a medical, I dont think everything went so professional when I arrived,
Peter Odemwingie 24 hours later
He felt a deal was done but it wasnt done between the two clubs. There were obviously one or two sticking points. He travelled down and just wanted to be on the premises to get the deal done. Unfortunately, he pulled up outside the ground and the cameras were there. He wasnt the only player that turned up and didnt get a deal done. There were other players at football grounds yesterday and the deals didnt go through at the last minute, for whatever reasons. I just hope the boy is going to be okay because he is a good person and it was a mistake that has been made. Hopefully he can move on from that.
Harry Redknapp on Peter Odemwingies future after the QPR move broke down.
How am I mortgaging QPR? The chairman brought Chris Samba in and he did the deal on (Loic) Remy, he brought Remy in. He will sell Remy if need be. That is such nonsense really.
Harry Redknapp is angry over accusations that QPRs transfer business placed the club in jeopardy
Its agent speak. Its agents trying to create a frenzy by seeing if they can make something happen out of nothing. In general, I think what becomes public knowledge is always from agents. Youre not going to get it from a football club so the only place you can get it is either from the player himself or from his agents. But the fact nobody triggered Mo Diames clause is the reason why he is still here.
Sam Allardyce on false reports that a transfer bid had triggered the release clause in Mohamed Diames contract.
I think it was dead before [Thursday]. We tried it a few days ago and it never came to fruition.
Sam Allardyce on his failed interest in Blackburn keeper Paul Robinson
Barcelona dont want to sell David Villa. They have made it very clear. You respect the desire. If I say that somebody is not for transfer, I expect the other clubs not to try to buy him.
Arsene Wenger rules out a move for David Villa
My first choice target was probably Fernando Gago from Real Madrid because they wanted to get rid of him, but we couldnt get that sort of quality. But I had a few options and we went for a few players. Urby Emanuelson is a player I know well, comes from AC Milan and is no mug so I was quite happy to get him. I was talking to a player from my old club Spurs, Tom Huddlestone, but that didnt come off and Enoh was here already because you cant bet on one horse. Huddlestone was very close. They pulled out at the last moment so I was very happy Enoh was in the building and there was no damage done.
Fulham boss Martin Jol discusses his transfer business
DJ travelled up for a medical. They then decided that theyre going to have a sandwich. Okay, and well resume talks after lunch. By this time it was only 12, 1 oclock. From that moment they left, I dont think his advisor spoke to my chief executive whos still waiting in the stadium so you can make your own mind up whether we treated him with total disrespect or whether his agent got a phone call from Blackburn during their lunch. We couldnt find him for two-three hours. Its that what Im annoyed about, not DJ. If they had rung and said weve got a wonderful offer from Blackburn and theyve blown you out of the water in terms of financial, Id have said good luck to the lad.
Hull boss Steve Bruce explains the failure to sign QPR striker DJ Campbell after claiming hes walked out of negotiations in order to get some food and never came back, instead turning up at Blackburn Rovers. And then ...
Just for the record, all this Im hearing about me is complete rubbish. I drove four hours to Hull and gave them hours to sort the deal, instead they wasted mine & my familys time.
QPR striker DJ Campbell takes to Twitter to deny Hull boss Steve Bruces claims over failed transfer
Weve approached this market very sensibly. Ive kept it open in our conversations, if it was going to go out of proportion we would step out of it. The player has been linked recently with Spurs, weve made it public before that its a player that we chase, but we couldnt agree on the full conditions so weve moved on. Could it [a deal for Damiao] happen in the summer? No I dont think so, its probably finished now.
Andre Villas-Boas on Spurs relatively quiet transfer window
FA Cup
Obviously, the fans are unsettled with the manager. They dont really like the manager so anything little thing that goes wrong, they are always on their backs. I think that has played a part in their recent results so hopefully we can put that into our advantage and take the positives and unsettle their fans again at their place.
Brentford striker Clayton Donaldson hopes to exploit the recent bad atmosphere at Stamford Bridge when the Bees play Chelsea in their FA Cup fourth round replay
We wont be scared, we werent scared today. We came out to let our football do the talking.
Brentfords Harry Forrester on their FA Cup fourth round replay against Chelsea
Its a team I think that should beat a team two divisions below. It tells me that I need to improve the squad. Weve picked up in the last 10 games. Were getting blood out of a stone. I gave them a chance today because they knock on my door and say they should be playing. Others tell me they are good players and they blew it.
Harry Redknapp slams his FA Cup flops after losing 4-2 to League One MK Dons
The guy they put on me looked really worried. He was begging me in the second half to try not to score a goal. Were very happy with the way we played.
Millwalls Danny Shittu on his Aston Villa marker as he scored on the Lions way to a last-minute FA Cup shock against Aston Villas
Any other business
We are doing a good job in terms of what you can see on the pitch. The team is doing well.
Ever the optimist,Rafael Benitez after his Chelsea side lost 3-2 at Newcaste
I dont think that he can see this as a trophy. He said that its really important for the club and especially now with the money thats involved in the Champions League. You can see it as something really important. If you can progress and win trophies that is better.
Rafael Benitez on Arsene Wengers goal to qualify for the Champions League
There is no better culture shock than Stoke when you come from Spain! They had a very physical game and I think he dealt well with it.

This and That
I live in Greenfield with my husband and cat. I work full time. Frugality and simplicity have been a part of my life long before they became popular and it has made life a lot less stressful. I love volunteering, home improvement/decorating, crafting and gardening.
Christmas Shopping
Wow - I've heard that cyber Monday is off to a fantastic start. Hopefully, this is because people are finding good deals, have the money to pay for these deals, and are purchasing useful items that will make friends and family happy for years to come. ...with a few goodies for themselves, as well.
I did not shop on Thursday or early Friday of last week but I did venture out to a few stores later on Friday afternoon. I encountered a few impatient people on the roads but other than that, the shopping experience was fine. Most people within the stores were courteous and in good spirits. The clerks were a bit "worn out".
I am sure some readers encountered quite the opposite during their shopping adventures.
I am also sure we all realize that there are still quite a few people who do not have jobs or jobs that pay them enough to make ends meet with a bit extra left over. Keep these people in your thoughts and prayers during this holiday season and beyond.
I drop money in the red kettles and pick a few names off the giving tree at work so that I can help make someone's Christmas a bit cheerier.................
Remember, with the heating season upon us, please be sure your furnaces have been checked over by a professional, you have replaced your smoke alarm/carbon monixide detectors batteries and be mindful of candles when burning them. We all want to keep our families safe during this special time of year.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Glucagon belongs to the group of medicines called hormones. It is an emergency medicine used to treat severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in patients with diabetes who have passed out or cannot take some form of sugar by mouth.
Glucagon is also used during x-ray tests of the stomach and bowels to improve test results by relaxing the muscles of the stomach and bowels. This also makes the testing more comfortable for the patient.
Glucagon also may be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Glucagon is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although these uses are not included in product labeling, glucagon is used in certain patients with the following medical conditions or undergoing certain medical procedures:
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
This medicine has been tested in children and, in effective doses, has not been shown to cause different side effects or problems than it does in adults.
Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults. Although there is no specific information comparing use of glucagon in the elderly with use in other age groups, it is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Glucagon is an emergency medicine and must be used only as directed by your doctor. Make sure that you and a member of your family or a friend understand exactly when and how to use this medicine before it is needed .
Glucagon is packaged in a kit with a vial of powder containing the medicine and a syringe filled with liquid to mix with the medicine. Directions for mixing and injecting the medicine are in the package. Read the directions carefully and ask your health care professional for additional explanation, if necessary.
Glucagon should not be mixed after the expiration date printed on the kit and on one vial. Check the date regularly and replace the medicine before it expires. The printed expiration date does not apply after mixing, when any unused portion must be discarded.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Patients with diabetes should be aware of the symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). These symptoms may develop in a very short time and may result from:
Unless corrected, hypoglycemia will lead to unconsciousness, convulsions (seizures), and possibly death. Early symptoms of hypoglycemia include: anxious feeling, behavior change similar to being drunk, blurred vision, cold sweats, confusion, cool pale skin, difficulty in concentrating, drowsiness, excessive hunger, fast heartbeat, headache, nausea, nervousness, nightmares, restless sleep, shakiness, slurred speech, and unusual tiredness or weakness.
Symptoms of hypoglycemia can differ from person to person. It is important that you learn your own signs of low blood sugar so that you can treat it quickly. It is a good idea also to check your blood sugar to confirm that it is low.
You should know what to do if symptoms of low blood sugar occur. Eating or drinking something containing sugar when symptoms of low blood sugar first appear will usually prevent them from getting worse, and will probably make the use of glucagon unnecessary. Good sources of sugar include glucose tablets or gel, corn syrup, honey, sugar cubes or table sugar (dissolved in water), fruit juice, or nondiet soft drinks. If a meal is not scheduled soon (1 hour or less), you should also eat a light snack, such as crackers and cheese or half a sandwich or drink a glass of milk to keep your blood sugar from going down again. You should not eat hard candy or mints because the sugar will not get into your blood stream quickly enough. You also should not eat foods high in fat such as chocolate because the fat slows down the sugar entering the blood stream. After 10 to 20 minutes, check your blood sugar again to make sure it is not still too low.
Tell someone to take you to your doctor or to a hospital right away if the symptoms do not improve after eating or drinking a sweet food. Do not try to drive yourself.
If severe symptoms such as convulsions (seizures) or unconsciousness occur, the patient with diabetes should not be given anything to eat or drink. There is a chance that he or she could choke from not swallowing correctly. Glucagon should be administered and the patient's doctor should be called at once.
If it becomes necessary to inject glucagon, a family member or friend should know the following:
Keep your doctor informed of any hypoglycemic episodes or use of glucagon even if the symptoms are successfully controlled and there seem to be no continuing problems. Complete information is necessary for the doctor to provide the best possible treatment of any condition.
Replace your supply of glucagon as soon as possible, in case another hypoglycemic episode occurs.
You should wear a medical identification (I.D.) bracelet or chain at all times. In addition, you should carry an I.D. card that lists your medical condition and medicines.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

U.S. treasury secretary welcomes Canada's Morneau as first foreign visitor
With Rosberg watching, Bottas sets fastest time in testing
Canadian edition of U.K.'s Big Feastival launches this August in Ontario
This month I would like to talk about guilt. So many of us are conditioned...
You've probably heard the term "home energy audit" many times, but what...
We are getting down to the wire for the federal by-election in
Durham. It is easy to do a prediction if you read the polls, but sometimes
there are upsets.
Here is my prediction for this Monday's election.
With 0.1% of the vote, Michael Nicula of the Online party
finishes last. You would think that an online candidate would have a social
media page setup for his election, but I couldn't find one. Give him credit, at
least he's entertaining.
With 0.9% of the vote, Andrew Moriarty of the CHP finishes 5th.
From what I have seen, he was not very active on social media promoting his
platform. I did see where he complained that Dalton McGuinty screwed a lot of
people then ran for the exit. No surprise his faith doesn't allow one man
fornicating with that many people.
With 7.3% of the vote, Virginia Ervin of the Green Party
finishes 4th. Virginia didn't use social media to reach out to the
voters as much as she could have. Her Twitter page shows she does watch a lot
of videos. Mmmm….YouTube and green!
With 12.7% of the vote, Grant Humes of the Liberal Party
finishes a distant 3rd. The campaign signs exploiting veterans
turned out to be a new low for politics. Sure, our veterans deserve more, a lot
more. But putting up signs supposedly supporting veterans that only takes you
to the Liberal page when you click on donate, is well, shameless at best. Campaign
manager Quito Maggi actively engaged those on social media who did not support
these signs. One Canadian veteran who started a social media page against the
Grant Humes campaign was repeatedly criticized from Grants campaign. Earlier in
the campaign, Grant brought former astronaut Marc Garneau to BHS for
commencement. I assume this was to look for votes from the younger generation.
Grant, if you want to be hip with the younger crowd I have two words for
you…Felix Baumgartner!
With 38.7% of the votes, Erin O'Toole of the Conservative
Party finishes 2nd. What can you say about Erin? The man is a class
act through and through. He normally speaks at Remembrance Day ceremonies but
refrained this year due to the elections. He has served in our military and has
raised more money for veterans than the Humes team could ever imagine, yet
doesn't bring this to light. Erin was instrumental in raising money for Valleys
2000 to help build a new fish ladder to help the salmon reach spawning grounds
in Bowmanville creek. The only problem with Mr.O'Toole is the party he runs
for. Bev Oda took liberties with those of us who placed our trust in her.
Changing documents, $16 glass of orange juice, 5 star hotels and limos to name
a few. When she quit office for her gold-plated pension, the constituents of
Durham didn't hear boo from her, just goodbye. Someone has to be held
accountable for her actions, and that someone should be the Conservative Party.
With 40.3% of the vote, the winner of the Durham by-election
is Larry O'Connor of the NDP.
Larry is the only candidate running in this election that
has experience serving the public in politics. He was a MPP in 1990, Durham
Regional Councillor and mayor for the Township of Brock. Larry is also a
tireless advocate for affordable housing and committed to ending homelessness
in our community. He has run a clean campaign promoting his ideas while leaving
the smear tactics to the Liberals. His extensive knowledge working in both the
provincial and municipal governments only helps to serve the residents of
Durham in a way the other parties can't offer. One common theme that has been
expressed over and over on this campaign by residents is the lack of
accountability within the government. Who can blame us with having Bev Oda as
our MP?
Larry has been to the dance before and deserves to be there again with
the experience he brings to the table. You can't buy credibility, but you can
vote for it!

UNRWA: Statement of the Netherlands at UNRWA's pledging conference
Statement of the Netherlands at UNRWA's pledging conference
New York, 4 December 2012
Mr Chairman
- Let me start by expressing deep appreciation for the invaluable work performed by UNRWA, often in very difficult circumstances as witnessed for the past years and months.
- We applaud UNRWA's ongoing operation in Syria and the fact that UNRWA went back to work the day after Israel and Hamas came to an agreement.
- Despite increased operational challenges in the region, the Agency's vital contributions reach out to a growing number of Palestine refugees in the five fields of UNRWA operations.
- UNRWA provides humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable refugees. It also offers hope in dire circumstances. Hope through schooling, through job creation and hope through better health. It offers hope for a better future in which Israel and an independent, democratic, contiguous and viable state of Palestine will be living side by side in peace and security.
- Fully recognizing Israel's legitimate security needs, the Netherlands would like to repeat its call for the immediate, sustained and unconditional opening of crossings for the flow of humanitarian aid, commercial goods and persons to and from the Gaza strip, the situation of which is unsustainable as long as it remains politically separated from the West Bank. Furthermore the current restrictions on movement and access have cost the Agency an additional 8.5 Million dollars over the last two years.
- We applaud the steps UNRWA has taken to present an overview of the different budgets and to clarify funding portals. We encourage the merging of the West Bank emergency appeal and the General Fund.
- UNRWA has made progress in broadening the donor base. We welcome donors such as Brasil, India, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates. However, to meet the chronic recurrent deficits, more needs to be done. We encourage UNRWA's efforts to mobilize regional private and emerging donors in line with its resource mobilization strategy.
- NL is a longstanding and substantial donor to UNRWA. We contributed 13 million Euro to the General Fund this year and decided to contribute an additional 2 million Euro to ease the substantial shortfall. Furthermore the Netherlands contributed 4 million Euro to the Emergency Fund for the Westbank and Gaza.
- And the NL will continue to contribute. We intend to maintain our contribution at a similar level as previous years. We have made a reservation for the General Fund of 13 Million Euro in our budget, which is subject to parliamentary approval later this month.
- Let me conclude by reiterating the great appreciation the Netherlands has for the work of UNRWA.
Thank you Mr Chairman

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco late Thursday said the ace of his pitching staff was not yet a professional baseball player.
A Twitter message earlier Thursday by Baseball America's Jim Callis reported that Wahl had signed with the A's for $500,000.
Bianco said Thursday evening he had spoken with Wahl, who denied the report. Where the talks presently stand and what might happen from here is unclear.
There has been hope from many Ole Miss fans that Wahl would return for his senior season after he slipped to the fifth round of the Major League Baseball draft earlier this month.
He was projected as a first-rounder but was not taken until the fifth with the 161st pick by Oakland.
Wahl did not return two messages on Thursday.
After the draft Wahl said that signing the contract was not a done deal, that he was pondering a return and "would have thought about it even if I'd have gone in the top 10 picks."
He's the third Ole Miss pitcher under Bianco to win 10 games in a season as he went 10-0 with a 2.03 earned run average. The ERA remained below 2.00 throughout the regular season.
His return would be an obvious lift for Ole Miss, but his departure has been anticipated. That scenario would leave the Rebels with two holes in their SEC rotation going into the 2014 season.
Mike Mayers, the Rebels' No. 2 pitcher this season and a junior like Wahl, was drafted in the third round by St. Louis and ha signed.
Ole Miss will return one experienced weekend starter, sophomore Sam Smith, a right-hander who was 3-1 with a 3.41 ERA.
Junior college signee Cody Reed was drafted with the 46th pick by Kansas City and signed quickly.

Gorgeous Shoe!
"I purchased this shoe for myself and for my sister, who's going to be my maid of honor. I am SO HAPPY with this shoe. It was super difficult trying to find a cute purple shoe that was at a reasonable price, and these are perfect! We also purchased the bridesmaids dresses in plum from Davids Bridal, and these shoes match the plum color swatch exactly! Overall an A+ with these shoes!"

"I love that Lulu Townsend carries perfect wide heels. I have a sixth toe on one foot and it is incredibly hard to find heels that fit. Love the plum color too. The bow is kind of on the big/obnoxious side, but that's ok cause I like eye-catching shoes :)"

Does anybody know what is going on at the HW Seta? I have been struggling for three weeks now only to get someone to answer the phone at the Seta? The one time somebody did answer, nobody were in their offices? I need to follow up on the accreditation process of a provider I have assisted in the process, but it seems an absolute impossible task. I am absolutely at my wits end. What does one need to do in order for this Seta to do their jobs? If anyone knows of a person at the HW Seta who will be willing and able to assist me and has their cellnumber (for phoning their landline is a waste of energy), please inbox me :(

For those who are in the call center industry, I see a huge opportunity here... SETA call centers...
Good point Tass. Did you see the SETA's that evaluate unit standards like receptionist, front line and customer service? (Not going to mention names now)
Did you ever see their receptions or the people they place in the reception and then they want to evaluate our work?
Shocking. They should spend less on their fancy offices and get their service delivery right. Lizelle, sorry, cant help you here but this is nothing new to the industry. It takes us sometimes weeks to get through to certain SETA's. There is of course the one or two exceptions to the rule also, but only one or two.
Sorry cant inbox you. We are based in Durban and the below lady has helped us, maybe she can point you in the right direction.

If you are in the Gauteng area the best solution is to go to the SETA offices - just remember they work flexitime and your chances of finding anybody in the office after 3 is virtually zero.
You can also try to call Wendy, the PRO on 0800864478 . I am not sure if she is still there - the last time I saw her was in October 2012. Even if you walk in - ask to see Wendy, she is a wonderful lady and will try her utmost to help you but in general she is fighting a loosing battle.

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
On the Mohs Scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, cubic zirconia is an 8.0 to 8.5. It is important to understand that hardness is not necessarily related to durability. Even though diamond is the hardest mineral (10.0 on the Mohs Scale), it can still be chipped or broken.
The only ways to tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamond are by use of a thermal probe, by weighing the loose stone or by microscopic examination of surface features and inclusions. Cubic zirconia weighs approximately 65% more than diamond. Therefore, while a 6.25 mm round diamond weighs about 1.00 carat, the same size cubic zirconia weighs about 1.65 carats. If you know the weight of a cubic zirconia, you can figure out the diamond weight equivalent by multiplying the cubic zirconia weight by 0.6, or 60%.
Few natural diamonds on the market today are perfectly cut, and those that are cost much more than the usual diamond. Unleashing the fire, beauty and brilliance of a stone depends on its precise cut. Simulated diamonds are an excellent balance between quality, beauty and price.
Brilliance: The white light leaving a jewel, traveling upward, which is visible to the eye. Brilliance is sometimes referred to as "sparkle."
Dispersion: Flashes of rainbow colors. Also called "fire."
Hardness: Resistance to scratching. The higher the number, the more resistant.
Luster: The shininess of a jewel.
Toughness: Resistance to breakage.
Named from the French word for lemon, "citron," citrine is a variety of quartz available in a range of golden hues from lemon, to straw, to sun yellow, to deep gold, to orange, brown and deep red. Darker colors are more highly valued, including the medium golden-orange and dark-sherry colors, sometimes called Madeira citrine after the color of the wine.
Citrine crystals can form together with amethyst to form ametrine, or with smoky quartz to form bicolored quartz. Citrine is generally less expensive than amethyst, and is also available in a wide range of calibrated sizes and shapes, including very large sizes. Considered an alternative to topaz as the birthstone for November, it is also thought to be the traditional gift for couples celebrating their 13 th and 17 th wedding anniversaries. Citrine ranks a 7.0 on the Mohs Scale, and because of this durability, it is ideal for jewelry wear.
Citrine is found in volcanic rocks and quartz veins and owes its color to the presence of iron. Most citrine is mined in Brazil, but almost all of the Brazilian material is heat-treated amethyst. Supplies are most plentiful in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, particularly from the Serra Mine. The Ira' Mine also produces large quantities of the gem. Citrine can also be found in the Ural Mountains of Russia, in Dauphine, France, and in Madagascar.
In ancient times, citrine was carried as a protection against snake venom and evil thoughts. It was thought to give calmness and mental balance to its wearer. Throughout history, people have confused citrine for topaz. Many citrines were sold as topaz and thus thought to carry the same qualities, such as knowledge and beauty. Today, citrine symbolizes truth and integrity, and is believed to promote creativity and personal clarity. It is also believed to impart happiness and cheer to its wearer while raising self esteem, as well as cleanse, regenerate and attract abundance.

Ordinary Housecat Beats Professional Wealth Managers in Year-Long Stock-Picking Challenge
Britain's The Observer has just concluded a year-long investment challenge which sought to determine if decades of experience gave seasoned stock market professionals any stock-picking advantage over a common household cat.
Per the rules of the challenge, each group of participants — three professionals, a class of students from a secondary school in Hertfordshire, and a ginger cat named Orlando — were allowed to invest £5,000 in any five companies on the FTSE All-Share index.
While the professionals used their decades of investment knowledge and traditional stock-picking methods, the cat selected stocks by throwing his favourite toy mouse on a grid of numbers allocated to different companies.
Every quarter, the teams were permitted to switch stocks around if they so chose.
By the end of the third quarter, wealth manager Justin Urquhart Stewart, stockbroker Paul Kavanagh, and fund manager Andy Brough earned their clients a commendable profit of £497 versus Orlando's £292.
However, a sudden fourth-quarter decline in the market value of the professionals' stocks — which remained the same — compared with a sizable increase in the value of Orlando's portfolio resulted in a stunning upset by year's end.
All told, the cat made a cool £542 in profit; the professionals, a paltry £176.
It's worth noting that, though the schoolkids' finished the year with a net loss of £160, their fourth quarter gains were by far the strongest thanks to the property company Savills, whose stock climbed 17.4% in three months.
The result indicates that the "random walk hypothesis", popularised in economist Burton Malkiel's book A Random Walk Down Wall Street, is perhaps truer than we thought. Burkiel's book explores the idea that share prices move completely at random, making stock markets entirely unpredictable.
In other words, save your money and buy a cat.

Introductionbourgeoisie (bŏrzhwäzēˈ) [key], originally the name for the inhabitants of walled towns in medieval France; as artisans and craftsmen, the bourgeoisie occupied a socioeconomic position between the peasants and the landlords in the countryside. The term was extended to include the middle class of France and subsequently of other nations. The word bourgeois has also long been used to imply an outlook associated with materialism, narrowness, and lack of culture—these characteristics were early satirized by Molière and have continued to be a subject of literary analysis.

"I've always liked this brand so when I saw a chance to own a pair, I grabbed the opportunity . When they finally came, i tried them right away only to get so disgruntled because the right shoe hurt the toes of my right foot in so short a time. But there's no doubt those booties are so pretty that I hesitated to return them but comfort won over looks so I took them back to a nearby DSW Store. I wish those booties are wider on the toe areas. I'm so sad because they're beautiful."
