Johnny Depp And Vanessa Paradis News: Actor To Blame For Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt Divorce?
Could it be possible that Vanessa Paradis' ex-husband Johnny Depp has something to do with the divorce of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt?
While a lot of people appeared shocked upon learning that the 41-year-old "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" actress has already filed a divorced from the 52-year-old "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" actor on Sept. 20, a new report has hinted that the former partner of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star might have a different take on it.
Radar Online reported that the 43-year-old French musician's 2012 interview with "The National Enquirer" revealed some controversial statements.
Accordingly, Vanessa Paradis was "absolutely convinced" that Johnny Depp "slept with Angelina" while they were filming "The Tourist" in Venice.
As narrated by an unnamed source, the then-partner of the 53-year-old actor, who became more famous following his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, was "against Johnny working with Angelina in the first place."
"She firmly believed that Angelina stole Brad Pitt away from Jennifer Aniston and felt she'd do the same with Johnny," the source added.
Allegedly, these suspicions marked the end of Vanessa Paradis' relationship with Johnny Depp.
In the meantime, Celeb Dirty Laundry reported early this month that despite the separation of her former partner, who is the father of her two children, the singer-songwriter allegedly has no plans to take him back.
While their reunion could be a "good thing" for the actor, it was pointed out that it is something she is not planning about since her "only concern" is their children.
"Sure, Vanessa Paradis might have defended him against Amber Heard's abuse allegations, but that's only because she has her own interests to protect," the entertainment site claimed. "The love between Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp is long gone, whether both of them like it or not."

Five things for pharma marketers to know: Monday, January 26
Shortly after touting its growth-through-acquisition strategy, drugmaker Actavis announced Monday that it has acquired British drugmaker Auden Mckenzie for $459 million, adding 175 new generic and branded drugs to its portfolio and will make Actavis the top seller of generic drugs in the UK. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015.
Sanofi and Regeneron may have the first of a new class of cholesterol-lowering treatments on pharmacy shelves, besting Amgen, Bloomberg reported Monday. Regeneron/Sanofi stated that FDA has until July 24 to make a decision on its PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab while Amgen expects to hear on its medicine, evolocumab, by August 27. Both drugs drastically cut bad cholesterol levels in trials and could be promising treatments for patients who cannot tolerate statins or require further lowering of their LDL-c levels.
Shortly after touting its growth-through-acquisition strategy, Actavis announced Monday that it has acquired British drugmaker Auden Mckenzie for $459 million, Reuters reported Monday. Gilead's German head of operations, Carsten Nowotsch, told the news service that discounts from its list price have been determined but would not disclose their amount. Nowotsch noted, "Thirty-five percent of people with statutory health insurance are already profiting from the discount agreements."
ICYMI: NPS Pharmaceuticals scored an approval for its hormone treatment Natpara (parathyroid hormone), which is approved for use in treating hypocalcemia or low blood calcium levels, the FDA announced Friday. Shire announced a deal to acquire NPS earlier this month for $5.2 billion.
Two of GSK's new asthma and COPD treatments, Arnuity and Incruse, are now available, the drugmaker announced Monday. Both inhaled medicines will use the British drugmaker's newest inhaler, Ellipta. Arnuity is the first asthma treatment to make use of the new inhaler. Incruse marks the drugmaker's first anticholinergic monotherapy, which is used to "smooth airways and improve airflow" according to a media release. Incruse is approved for use in COPD, emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Like the word "cool" itself, it is hard to describe what exactly Deus ex Machina is, especially to the uninitiated. The motorcycle/surf lifestyle brand is 10 years old now, and will go down in moto-history as being partially responsible for the "post-authentic" motorcycle movement.
The easiest explanations is that the Deus ex Machina brand is known both for its two-wheeled creations, and also its destination stores in Sydney, Bali, Japan, Los Angeles, and Milan.
In talks now with L-Capital, the private equity arm of LVMH (which is better known for its Louis Vuitton, Moët, and Hennessy brands), Deus ex Machina looks to be the second major exit for its founder and majority shareholder Dare Jennings, who sold his Mambo brand to Gazal Corporation back in 1990.

Lauren Conrad has come a long way since her Laguna Beach days, but her style? It's been impeccable since day one. After retiring from reality TV, the star-turned-designer launched several successful lines, including her affordable Kohl's collection LC Lauren Conrad and her slightly more upscale Paper Crown line.
With an eye for beauty and a hand for design, LC and her myriad of talents have proven that she can hold her own in the competitive world of fashion. And clearly, that has translated quite well onto the red carpet. Let's backtrack to her earlier days—the star stunned at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards in a sweeping Pamella Roland gown that hinted at just a whisper of pink (above, left).
Fast forward six years and LC nailed it again in a Camilla and Marc wide-leg one-piece (center). And most recently, she literally turned heads in an extravagant headpiece that matched her polka dot Paper Crown dress at the Kentucky Derby (right).
For a comprehensive overview of her style, see all 10 of Lauren Conrad's best looks on the red carpet.

It's been a rough couple of weeks for Gisele Bundchen and her NFL husband Tom Brady. Not only did Brady and the Patriots lose the Super Bowl to the New York Giants -- again -- but his supermodel wife mouthed off about his teammates in front of the press just minutes after the loss. The power couple decided to leave the States behind for a few days to soak up the sun.
According to X17online, Bundchen and Brady, along with their family, jetted off for some rest and relaxation in Costa Rica, where they have a home and tied the knot in 2009. They enjoyed a picnic on the beach with some locals on Saturday before watching the sunset and warming up next to a bonfire.
Bundchen was photographed sharing a beachside smooch with Brady, and was also spotted rocking a string tiger-print bikini while enjoying some downtime with her family.
Check out a photo of Gisele and Tom below. For more, head over to X17online.com.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article stated Costa Rica was in the Caribbean, when it is part of Central America. The article has been changed.

Vintage Cutwork Fusion Dress
Added Jul 6, 2012
by Debbie Alli
Washington, Unit...
I bought this fabric on eBay – it's panels of cutwork and solid embroidered fabric in a delicate dove grey shade.
I was originally going to make the fabulous A line shift dress from Burda 05/11 but the deeply curved hem wouln't work with the position of the panels on the fabric. So, I used the bodice of the pattern (adjusted for tall girl with long body) and added the skirt from Project Runway 2588. And voila! My fusion dress was born!
Velvet ribbon around the waist, tied in a little bow (I was feeling girly) and lace to finish the hem (a solution to a hem that couldn't be turned!) and I was all done.
I hope you like it – I just need an occassion to wear it now :)
Material Notes
Vintage cutwork cotton fabric
Lawn cotton (lining)

Ships in the Dover shipping channel can now use eLoran radio navigation technology as a backup to satnav systems.
The ground-based eLoran system provides alternative position and timing signals for improved navigational safety.
The Dover area, the world's busiest shipping lane, is the first in the world to achieve this initial operational capability (IOC) for shipping companies operating both passenger and cargo services.
The announcement represents the first of up to seven eLoran installations to be implemented along the east coast of the UK.
The Thames Estuary and approaches up to Tilbury, the Humber Estuary and approaches, and the ports of Middlesbrough, Grangemouth and Aberdeen, will all benefit from new installations, and the prototype service at Harwich and Felixstowe will be upgraded.
Although primarily intended as a maritime aid to navigation, eLoran could become a cost-effective backup for a wide range of applications that are becoming increasingly reliant on the position and timing information provided by satellite systems.
"Our primary concern at the GLA is for the safety of mariners," said Ian McNaught, executive chairman of Trinity House. "But signals from eLoran transmitters could also provide essential backup to telecommunications, smart grid and high frequency trading systems vulnerable to jamming by natural or deliberate means.
"We encourage ship owners and mariners to assess eLoran in this region and provide feedback to the GLA on its performance."
P&O Ferries has installed an eLoran receiver on its new vessel 'Spirit of Britain'. She will be based at Dover and is one of the largest passenger ships the busy Dover/Calais route has ever seen.
Captain Simon Richardson, head of Safety Management at P&O Ferries said: "Accurate real-time positional information is essential for the safe navigation of ships with modern electronic charts. Satellite navigation systems are vulnerable to degradation of signal strength and our ships have also experienced occasional loss of signal.
"We welcome the development of a robust alternative to provide redundancy in real-time positional information and we see eLoran as the most effective solution to countering the problem."
Stephen Hammond, Minister for Shipping said: "I congratulate the General Lighthouse Authorities on this initiative which seeks to improve navigational safety in what is the busiest shipping channel in the world, through the development and deployment of technology.
"I look forward to receiving reports of its effectiveness."

The environmental crisis that is the Gulf Coast oil spill has captured attention as far as China.
Law Professor William Buzbee recently returned from there, where he met with scholars and environmental specialists. The purpose of the trip was to get a better understanding of how environmental law is enforced in China and share how it works in the U.S., says Buzbee, director of Emory's Environmental and Natural Resources Law Program.
He participated in a series of meetings and conversations with individuals familiar with environmental law policies and enforcement in China, from members of the Natural Resources Defense Council to environmental law practitioners, a governmental prosecutor and scholars.
Strengthening Emory's links to top universities and scholars in China was a broader goal of the trip, organized with the Halle Institute's assistance.
Buzbee also gave a lecture at a Beijing law school. Questions, he says, ranged from concerns about climate change law and politics, to who was to blame for the Gulf oil spill and who would address it.
"The BP oil spill is a prominent news story in China," he says. "My sense is that because America presents itself as environmentally good, the Chinese are really just trying to understand how something like this could have happened here."
The answer? Sloppiness, says Buzbee.
"Those responsible for what has become a crisis of massive proportions are now trying to put a Band-Aid on a massive wound," he says, "which was the result of private sector error and regulator coziness with the oil industry, as well as not enough close investigation and anticipation of the environmental risks."
CNN and other national and local news outlets have sought comments from Buzbee, an expert on environmental, administrative and other public law issues.
What will be the outcome? Lawsuits on top of governmental and private cleanup efforts and legal reform, says Buzbee. Maybe even criminal charges from the federal government.
"Years of legal skirmishing are inevitable," he says. "Fishing, tourism — layers upon layers of business will suffer; even businesses here in Atlanta. In addition to the obvious catastrophic environmental costs, there will be rippling economic effects as people avoid the area for months, even years to come."

Hypertension (HTN) accounts for the greatest portion of racial disparities in mortality between blacks and whites. Poor BP control in blacks is attributed to higher prevalence of adverse lifestyle behaviors such as lack of physical activity, high sodium intake, poor intake of fruits and vegetables. Despite compelling evidence of the beneficial effects of therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) on BP reduction, their effectiveness in community-based settings remains untested, particularly in churches - an influential institution for health promotion in black communities. We address this gap in the literature by testing the effect of a church-based lifestyle intervention on BP reduction in 400 hypertensive blacks (BP>140/90 mm hg). The intervention, delivered through group classes and motivational interviewing (MINT-TLC) will be compared to an attention control condition (CC). 20 churches will be randomly assigned equally to either group. We hypothesize that subjects in MINT-TLC group will exhibit at 6 months, greater BP reduction;more physical activity;increased intake of fruits and vegetables;greater within-participant weight reduction;a higher proportion with adequate BP control (9 months). Subjects in the CC group will receive group health education classes that will be delivered by experts on various health topics unrelated to hypertension. In addition to the lectures, participants in the churches randomized to the health education CC condition will receive print versions of the NHLBI publications """"""""Your Guide to Lowering Blood Pressure"""""""";and """"""""Facts about the DASH Eating Plan."""""""" Those in the MINT-TLC will attend weekly group classes focused on TLC for 12 weeks (intensive phase);plus monthly individual motivational interviewing sessions for three months (maintenance phase). MINT-TLC is designed to help participants make appropriate TLC and develop skills to maintain these changes long-term. MINT-TLC will be delivered by trained Lay Health Advisors recruited from the churches. The primary outcome is within-subject change in BP from baseline to 6 months. Secondary outcomes are levels of targeted lifestyle behaviors;and proportion with adequate BP control at 9 months (BP<140/90 mm Hg). Regardless of group assignments, all outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months (for BP control only) with well-validated procedures and measures. BP will be assessed with an automated digital BP monitor. Lifestyle behaviors will be assessed with NCI's brief fruit/vegetable and fat dietary assessment questionnaires and the 7-day physical activity recall. Weight loss will be the difference in weight between baseline and 6 months. The long-term goal is to refine and integrate MINT-TLC into standard practices delivered by LHA in black churches.
If successful, the findings from this study will provide much-needed information on the translation and sustainability of therapeutic lifestyle modification in hypertensive patients in community-based settings, particularly within churches, which represent the most influential institution in the community lives of blacks. We believe that the concept of testing the effectiveness of well-proven efficacious lifestyle interventions in community-based settings utilizing a collaborative partnership approach in addition to a multi-disciplinary team of investigators is innovative and addresses the goals of the NIH road map concerning the translation of research into public health practice.

Man sells bottled fresh air from English countryside to Chinese elite
A young entrepreneur has come up with an ingenious idea to bottle the "clean and pure" air from the English countryside for residents in smog-filled Chinese cities. Here's why his bottled air is special.
According to Aethaer, the company started by 27-year-old Leo De Watts, a team of "Air Farmers" collects fresh air from the countrysides of Dorset, Somerset, Wales, Wiltshire, and Yorkshire, in southwest England.
Furthermore, these Air Farmers dedicate themselves to collect the highest quality of pure and clean countryside air by considering local weather patterns, and they would often take a rigorous hike to reach the most remote locations. They use a specially adapted net to capture the fresh air and seal in air-tight jars to preserve the unique local aroma.
If it sounds too incredible to believe, here is a video where you can journey with Leo and his Air Farmers to visit the English countryside to harvest authentic fresh air:
To contrast his air from other bottled air being sold to China, Leo De Watts describes his air from English countryside as the Gucci or Luis Vuitton of fresh air, containing unique scents and qualities.
A Chinese New Year special recently advertised a basket of 15 jars, with specifically identified origin, at only 888 pounds (or 1288 USD). It is considered a great bargain as each 580-ml jar normally sells at 80 pounds (or 116 USD) to elite urbanites in Beijing and Shanghai, where the blue sky is a rare sight.
Of course you don't have to be living in China to buy the product. If you want a breath of fresh air, Leo would be happy to sell you his pure English countryside air and ship it by air.

There was a fun discussion over at 101 Centavos last week on his post Are you Worth as much as a Plumber? Some of the commenters, such as The Biz of Life and 101 Centavos, were big fans of Doing It Yourself. There was even some mention of Man Points for fixing things. Others, such as Funny about Money, had hilarious tales of projects gone horribly wrong. She even called us out by dropping the T word. That's right Testosterone.
Since I am an avid Do It Yourselfer (mostly because I am cheap), I thought I would share three examples of where we saved a ton of money by doing it ourselves. And the projects came out great. As for Man Points, I have to admit my wife looks at me totally different after I fix something on a Sunday, instead of napping on the couch watching an Angels game.
The Pergo Floor
Having cream colored carpet at the beach is just a bad idea, especially in the entry way of the front door. I had always wanted to put in some bamboo flooring, but budgetary concerns kept me from realizing my dream. (I was too cheap.) One day, we were in Lowe's and my wife pointed out the Pergo flooring. Since it snapped together, even amateurs like us had a shot at putting it down. Plus, we wouldn't have to wax, refinish or maintain it. It was right up our alley.
We measured it out and bought the materials. We also bought the little plastic hammer, pounding block and other accessories. I already had a table and jig saw, so I only needed to borrow a chop saw. The demolition work wasn't much fun. We had to remove all of the carpet, Linoleum, tack strips and nails. We also swept up about 50 pounds of sand that was under the carpet. Putting in the Pergo wasn't that hard. My wife laid down the underlayment; my brother laid down the Pergo; and I made all of the cuts. One weekend and $1,000 later, we were the proud owners of a beautiful new faux wood floor.
The Truck Bed Swap
Nothing brings back teenage memories for a middle-aged man like watching his kid trash their vehicle. When my son got rear-ended by a speeding BMW, I thought the little Toyota truck was lost. But, after I inspected the damage, I realized that the frame was straight and only the bed and bumper were damaged.
I figured we could get a bed and bumper at a junk yard and fix the truck, without going to the very costly body shop. Our big opportunity came when my nephew lunched the transmission on his similar Toyota truck and we bought the parts from it. We unbolted the two truck beds, picked them up and threw them on the lawn. Even though the trucks were different model years and one was an extra-cab, the trucks beds were nearly identical. They were even the same color, so we didn't have to paint. We swapped the beds and bolted them on the opposite trucks. Four hours and $500 later, the truck was as good as used.
The Upstairs Bathroom
Nothing is more terrifying to the average homeowner than the two dreaded words, plumbing leak. This condition is enough to send a staunch man into a quivering state of shock, as he has visions of dry rot and empty bank accounts. This will immediately affix the wife onto his case, until the situation is stabilized. She will be having visions of mold and mildew in the walls. Plumbers and contractors love a situation like this, because it's practically an open checkbook. It's not like a remodel, where you have a choice to do it or not. It has to be fixed, and it has to be fixed now. They will be having visions of bass boats and Hawaiian vacations.
It takes some pretty big boots to rip up a sub-floor for the first time. And, it takes some awesome power tools. This project created the opportunity for me to buy the reciprocating saw I have always wanted. The rest of the materials were pretty cheap. I bought some glue, 2x4s, a sheet of plywood, caulking and some Linoleum tiles. I finished the job with ten fingers and toes. Six hours and $300 later, the kid's bathroom was water tight and looking good.
Tips for Do It Yourselfers
There once was a time honored tradition of going into the hardware or the auto parts store and asking someone who worked there for advice. If you were lucky, they had someone on hand who either worked in the trades or was a solid amateur. Now days, you walk into a warehouse store and talk to a kid who looks like he changes his clothes, about as often as you change your motor oil. We still have a downtown hardware store, so I am happy to pay a little more for my building supplies. Since I live in a military town, I find a kid in the auto parts store who looks like a Marine from Indiana. If I see a Mustang or a Camaro in the parking lot, I can usually get help.
Thanks to a modern marvel called the Internet, help is often only a couple of clicks away. I like to jump on YouTube and watch videos of people doing these projects, before I get started myself. That way, I have the right supplies and I don't go off in the wrong direction. Twice, these YouTube videos have completely saved my project when I was stuck in the middle and had parts everywhere. Something as simple as changing the brakes on a Jetta can turn into a nightmare, until you figure out the how the mechanics compress the wheel cylinders. Watching the YouTube video is way better than reading through my Chilton's manuals.
No wives or other females were harmed during this post. Any reference to people you know is purely coincidental. Men are well aware that most women work really hard, but we enjoy acting like the stronger sex. My wife has helped me lay tile, remove Linoleum, change oil, install Pergo, paint the house dig an irrigation drain and scrape the cottage cheese off the ceilings.
The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that people can save a lot of money by doing some things for themselves. I have personally saved tens of thousands of dollars and have the satisfaction of a job well done. But, it takes careful preparation to avoid a failed project. Some projects are better left to the experts.

The Homers That Won Last Night's Game: Rizzo's Bomb and Alcantara's Impossible Shot
The Chicago Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds last night 3-0 behind a dominant pitching performance from all corners, and, of course, a couple home runs.
The first of those homers, which came in the first inning in a steady downpour, was Anthony Rizzo's 30th of the season:
That homer was pretty standard new Rizzo: he crowds the plate to dominate the outer half, and if you try to bust him in (or, in Cueto's case, miss way inside), he's quick enough to get around on it and do that. This is emblematic (as in, one of many reasons) of why so many people are confident that his explosion this year is for real. This guy is an impressive, polished-looking hitter already. Where are the holes? And he's such a hard worker that he'll keep trying to get better. We obsess about the prospects, but we can't forget: Rizzo is already doing what we *dream* about the prospects doing.
Also: I'm not usually one for counting stats, but 30 homers is pretty damn awesome.
The second homer for the Cubs was of the "holy crap, how did he do that?" variety. It was from Arismendy Alcantara, and you can watch the homer here. But the shot I want to show you is this one:
That was a pitch on the outer third of the plate, nearly a foot out of the strike zone. Alcantara swings at his shoulders, quick wrists it, and doesn't just barely get it out. The thing was a no-doubter.
Cueto missed his spot with what Brooks calls a cutter, but it looked like an 87mph hanger of some kind. In any case, it was an ineffective pitch, but I'm not even sure you can call a pitch that's nearly a foot too high a "mistake." I suppose because it was up and away, and under 90 mph, Alcantara had plenty of time to get around on it. Still, don't take anything away from Alcantara: that's a super impressive homer right there, and, if he didn't have such strong wrists and good bat speed, that ball doesn't come close to going out.

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: 12 May 2010 -- Do-it-yourselfers indicate they are notably more satisfied with interior paint brands in 2011, compared with 2010, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2011 U.S. Interior Paint Satisfaction StudySM released today.
The study, now in its fifth year, measures customer satisfaction among those who have purchased and applied interior paint during the past year and examines six key factors of the painting experience: application; product offerings; durability; price; design guides, and warranty/guarantee.
Overall satisfaction with interior paint brands has increased considerably to an average of 770 on a 1,000 point scale in 2011 from 754 in 2010. Satisfaction has increased in five of the six factors included in the study--all except design guides. The most notable improvements have occurred in the warranty, product offerings, application, and durability factors.
Benjamin Moore ranks highest in customer satisfaction with interior paint with a score of 791 and performs particularly well in three of the six factors: application, product offerings and design guides. Following Benjamin Moore in the rankings are Porter (789) and Sherwin-Williams (778).
"The highest-performing brands in the study also benefit from the highest levels of customer loyalty," said Christina Cooley, senior manager of the real estate and construction industries practice at J.D. Power and Associates. "Among customers of some of these brands, the proportion who say they definitely will purchase the brand of paint again averages as high as 50 percent, which is considerably greater than the industry average of 36 percent."
The study finds that a majority of customers--54 percent--rely primarily on their past experience with paint brands when shopping for interior paint. More than one-fourth (26%) say they rely on recommendations from store salespersons, family and friends or a contractor or designer professional. An additional 10 percent of customers consider paint brands primarily based on the in-store product displays.
"It's particularly important for consumers to do their research prior to purchasing paint at a retailer; with brands constantly introducing new product lines, customers may limit themselves if they don't consider the new offerings available," said Cooley. "Do-it-yourselfers are much more likely to be delighted with their painting experience if they first explore the brands available and narrow down their choices to the ones that will best meet the specific needs and specifications of their project."
The study also finds that paint customers choose a paint brand primarily based on past experience, quality and color and texture.
"Many manufacturers have mobile apps and websites that can help with product selection, and an increasing number are offering inexpensive paint samples that allow customers to test the paint on the actual surface and in actual lighting conditions," said Cooley. "Paint shoppers should visit the retailers that carry those specific brands that will best meet their needs. This may mean visiting a couple of different retailers, since many only carry a limited brand selection. In addition, shoppers will want to purchase from a retailer that provides helpful advice."
The study findings also include the following key trends:
- A majority of customers in 2011 indicate they applied the paint themselves (82%). However, more customers in 2011 say they hired a painter or handyman to apply the paint for them (16%), compared with 2010 (11%).
- More than one-half of paint customers (53%) say they do not apply primer to their walls prior to applying the first coat of paint. However, the percentage of customers who purchase paint that includes primer has increased from 12 percent in 2010 to 17 percent in 2011.
- Forty-eight percent of customers say they painted a bedroom; 37 percent say they painted a living room and 33 percent painted a bathroom.
The 2011 U.S. Interior Paint Satisfaction Study is based on responses from more than 8,900 customers who purchased and applied interior paint within the previous 12 months. The study was fielded between March and April 2011.

Who decides what "race" a person is? White People Do. The Post-Election Division of Non-Whites is Underway/
What Subordinate Non-White Person Category Do you Occupy? From [HERE] On Saturday's edition of her show, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry moderated her panel in a discussion on voting demographics. Last week's exit polls, she shared, showed that 93 percent of the black vote went to President Barack Obama, as did 71 percent of the Latino vote and 73 of the Asian-American vote.
"Given the increased proportion of the electorate that those groups represent," said Harris Perry, "[President Obama's] was a coalition that won the election. So we know that these minority groups will only continue to grow until people of color in the United States are the majority. But demographics? Demographics are not electoral destiny." "I think that the news of the demise of the white man is vastly overstated," she shared to laughs around the table. "It's been a weird couple of days."
"I'll tell you one thing, though, in the whole thing that did bug me" Giles continued. "The constant talk about the GOP reaching out to Latinos, Latinos, Latinos, Latinos. Nothing mentioned about African Americans. Latinos, Latinos. Like, you know. Why even bother?"
So, the white supremacist post-election goal of division among non-whites is underway. In order to accomplish this goal - deception of the following realities must be accomplished by white racists (Republicans & Democrats) (there is a sucker born every minute, don't be a customer!):
Who decides what "race" a person will be?
The same (white) people who created the concept of race. If the ONLY purpose of "race" is to practice racism, and whites are the only group or "race" (in a white supremacy system) that can practice racism, then it is logical to assume there is only one race: the white race. [MORE]
Divide and Conquer
According to Dr. Blynd, race is an artificial "European" invention with real consequences. Race is not real but racism is. Race has been created to be wrongly confused with ethnic identity in order to establish the sense of "otherness" and dehumanization of melanated peoples around the globe. [MORE] As explained by Neely Fuller Jr., in the above video, maximum confusion among non-white people is a major goal of white supremacy/racism. If you notice there are no "White European Americans" - only white people.
A Non-White Planet
New US census data is simply a reflection of the reality that the worldwide white population is somewhere below 10% and shrinking. In 1950, whites were 28 percent of world population. Now the number of people from European descent is estimated to have dropped to 9.8 percent or less. [MORE] and [MORE] and [MORE]
According to the National Policy Institute "the white population is shrinking not only in relative but in real terms. Two hundred million white people, one in every six on earth - a number equal to the entire population of France, Britain, Holland and Germany - will vanish by 2060."
White genes are recessive
As a result, the white race cannot reproduce itself when it intermingles or mixes with non-white persons. Ken Gronbach, a demographer and futurist who writes and lectures on marketing and generational change, said "the whole complexion of the US is going to get darker - we're going to look like Derek Jeter" - or Barak Obama. [MORE]
In other words, as stated by Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, "White can be genetically annihilated. White plus Black equals Colored. White plus Brown equals Colored. White plus Yellow equals Colored." (In photo, Falcons TE, Tony Gonzalez).
RACISM (white supremacy), is the local and global power system and dynamic, structured and maintained by persons who classify themselves as white, whether consciously or subconsciously determined, which consists of patterns of perception, logic, symbol formation, thought, speech, action and emotional response, as conducted simultaneously in all areas of people activity (economics, education, entertainment, labour, law, politics, religion, sex and war); for the ultimate purpose of white genetic survival and to prevent white genetic annihilation on planet earth – a planet upon which the vast majority of people are classified as non-white (Black, Brown, Red and Yellow) by white skinned people, and all of the nonwhite people are genetically dominant (in terms of skin coloration) compared to the genetic recessive white skin people." [MORE]
Racism = A System of Survival
According to Welsing, racism is a system of white behavior and survival: "genetic annihilation is the fundamental motivation of people who classify themselves as White, whether it is conscious and/or subconsciously determined. In other words: what the White Collective is doing on the planet is engaging in behaviors—in economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and more—in order for them to survive on the planet, by any means necessary. [MORE]
White people have worked out a system for White survival, which entails dominating all of the Black, Brown, Red and Yellow people on the planet. So racism is a behavioral system for the survival of White people. [MORE] People who classify themselves as White, who wish to be taken seriously, and who are righteous and responsible, will only talk about ending White Supremacy (Racism) and replacing it with Justice. [MORE]

Actor George Clooney is determined to continue his feud with a British tabloid by rejecting an apology from the newspaper's bosses.
The Ocean's Eleven star slammed Mailonline.com - the website of the Daily Mail newspaper - for publishing a false story about his upcoming marriage to Amal Alamuddin, suggesting his future mother-in-law was unhappy with her daughter's choice of suitor.
Editors at the tabloid issued an apology this week (beg07Jul14), insisting the story was "not a fabrication" but accepting it was "inaccurate".
However, the Hollywood heartthrob is refusing to draw a line under the feud and has publicly rejected the apology.
In a new article for USA Today, published on Friday (11Jul14), he writes, "I thank the Mail for its apology. Not that I would ever accept it, but because in doing so they've exposed themselves as the worst kind of tabloid."
Clooney is expected to wed human rights lawyer Alamuddin later this year (14).

PORT CHESTER, N.Y. -- With conversations about raising the minimum wage going on both locally and nationally, several Port Chester residents say they would be in favor of an increase.
President Barack Obama recently signed an executive order requiring businesses with federal contracts to pay employees $10.10 an hour. He has also urged Congress to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour.
"They should make it $10 an hour," said John Brown as he waited for a train at the Port Chester station. He said that the current minimum wage of $7.25 is not enough. "You get your paycheck and you look at it and say,'Is that all there is?' "
He said that with expenses such as rent and utilities and buying food and clothes for his son, a minimum wage check is not sufficient to get by on.
"If you give me $10 an hour, I'll work all night. People have kids, they're not rich. This will be good for the people, and good for the kids. You can pay your rent, pay your light bill, buy something for your son and have money in your pocket to do something over the weekend."
Jose Lora said that he would also be in favor of an increase. He said that there's a possibility that it may lead to stores raising prices or companies not hiring as much, but thinks it will be good for the people who get pay increases.
"I think it should be more. That would be great, that would help out a lot of people," he said. He said that it could even be higher than $10.10 an hour, but that it was a good start. "That's almost what you get paid as a manager."
Yuri Sical said that it should be more that $10.10 an hour, but that a potential increase is a good start.
"Stores would raise their prices, probably," she said. "But that would help a lot of people out."
"I hope it works. If it doesn't, people are going to be in a lot of trouble. A lot of people are already working two jobs," Brown said.

text: 2017 Motocross of Nations at Glen Helen Cancelled Cycle News Staff | September 27, 2016 Youthstream, the organization that runs the FIM MXGP Championship and Motocross of Nations announced today that the 2017 MXoN will not take place at California's Glen Helen Raceway, as previously announced. There was no mention in the press release on a new location or if there will be an MXGP event held at the facility. Read the full release below: MONACO (Principality of Monaco), 27 September 2016 – Mr Giuseppe Luongo, Youthstream President, and Mr Bud Felkamp, President of the Glen Helen Raceway, had a meeting at the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in Maggiora and in common agreement they have decided to not organize the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in Glen Helen in 2017. Glen Helen Raceway and Youthstream have worked in close cooperation over the last 2 years and both entities have invested serious funds for the organization of the MXGP of USA but despite the quality of the organization, the excellent racing and the massive media coverage the fan attendance was much lower than expected and also much lower than what this event deserves. For such a prestigious event which deserves and needs an outstanding fan participation the risk is too high, and this is the main reason why it has been decided in common agreement to not organize the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in 2017 in Glen Helen. If the situation changes in the future both parties would be keen to work together again. Glen Helen Raceway has hosted a round of the FIM MXGP series the last two years with relatively weak fan attendance. But it was widely expected that the facility would be packed for an MXoN. We will share more information as it becomes available. For all the latest Motocross of Nations News, click HERE. Share this:ShareFacebookTwitter Comments

Mortgage Rates Drop
Share on
The administration recently announced that its going to put another $800 billion into the credit markets to help with consumer and mortgage lending. The response is that mortgage rates on a 30 year fixed loan dropped to around 5.77%, making this a great time for those who have homes to refinance and for those who have a little extra money to purchase.
With most housing markets in a slump, its prime time for real estate investors to pick up some undervalued homes, maybe even a foreclosure deal or two. And add to that a drop in mortgage rates and you've suddenly found an amazing deal that is really hard to pass up.
If you're thinking about diving into a real estate purchase for investment purposes, check with your financial advisor and make sure you're getting the best deal possible on the land or home you want to buy as well as the mortgage loan you take out.
Remember that if you are refinancing you will be paying closing costs again and some other bank fees, but if the loan percentage is less than a half of a point lower than your previous loan then you'll most likely make up the additional fees in new savings.

Grace of God
Donna Lee started playing guitar and singing at the age of seven. In 1972, she joined the folk group at her local parish where she sang and played guitar for 11 years. At the age of 15, she wrote her first song for a Catholic youth retreat. Her debut album, "Immaculate Heart, O Sacred Heart," was released in 1990, and was well received by all ages. Since then, she has recorded five albums of mostly original music. Donna's newest CD, "The Grace of God" was recorded in Brazil and released in June 2003. Her music ministry focuses on Pro-Life, Reconciliation, the Eucharist, and Divine Mercy. She also has a special devotion to the Blessed Mother, whom she says played a big part in her conversion back to the Catholic church. Donna's music ministry began to grow shortly after her conversion in 1988. She has written many inspirational songs that tell the story of her faith journey. Some of the highlights of her ministry were having the opportunity to be the opening act for the late Michael Hedges at 4th and B in San Diego, and performing with Tony Melendez. She also had the opportunity to perform concerts in five different cities in Portugal for Youth 2000 and in Aylesford, England opening for Sal Solo, as well as singing at conferences and festivals in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Holland, Mexico, and Brazil. Donna Lee is one of the founding members of the Catholic Association of Musicians started by John Michael Talbot in 1996. Her music can be heard on several Catholic radio stations across the United States, Canada, Europe, and South America.

Yale University has gone off the rails. First, they issue perhaps the campiest recruitment video in the entire world. And now, they have literally reinvented the wheel. This time, no spokes.
Amazingly, the spokeless rear wheel is only half of the wonder this bike provides. Personally, I'm more concerned about what Paul Bunyan is going to do when he realizes that the derailleur hanger is missing from his gigantic Diamondback.
In conclusion, I'd suggest that the people of Yale continually look over their shoulders for a fast-approaching mythical giant riding a recently-converted Diamondback fixed gear. I bet Harvard students don't have that problem. Of course, as you will notice, they follow cycling conventions to the letter: both wheels are perfectly spoked.
Although, I'd hazard a guess that this guy has something up his sleeve:
In (a second) conclusion, heed Mulder's warnings and trust no one. Wow. This post is an incoherent rambling mess. Is it Friday yet?

The following frequently asked questions were prepared by the Canadian Council of Registered Nurse Regulators and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing for Canadian educators and students.
NCSBN conducts practice analyses to determine the level of competency that entry-level nurses must possess in order to provide safe and effective care. Results obtained from the practice analysis studies are used to construct the NCLEX-RN Test Plan. The current NCLEX-RN Test Plan can be downloaded for free on the NCLEX Test Plans page of the NCSBN website. The Test Plan then guides subject matter experts serving as item writers and reviewers in the development and review of NCLEX items. All NCLEX items undergo rigorous reviews prior to being used in actual examinations. Item content is scrutinized for currency, accuracy and adherence to entry-level nursing scope of practice.
Scope of entry-level nursing practice provides the foundation for the NCLEX item development process.The practice analysis process starts with a comprehensive literature review of those resources that students preparing for a career in nursing are expected to study and understand. A subject matter expert panel is then convened to discuss activities that entry-level nurses perform on the job. This expert panel is made up of representatives from various NCLEX test-user areas, major nursing specialities and nursing practice settings. In addition to 10-12 experienced nurses, the expert panel also includes 2 entry-level nurses. These entry-level panelists provide the incumbent perspective. After extensive discussion and review of related documents, the expert panel constructs a comprehensive list of job activity statements that are relevant to entry-level nursing practice. This list of entry-level activities will be used in the subsequent practice analysis surveys. The results from the current practice analysis can be downloaded from the Practice Analyses page of the NCSBN website.
The selection and input of subject matter experts provides assurance that the practice analysis assesses the current expected practices of entry-level nursing.
To better prepare students for the NCLEX-RN, educators can gain familiarity with the current NCLEX-RN Test Plan, its corresponding content distribution and examination delivery methodology. NCLEX resources are available free of charge for educators and students. These resources include:
NCSBN encourages educators and students to utilize these resources and become familiar with the NCLEX-RN exam, its delivery, anticipated item types, specific terminology and test site administration rules. All NCLEX online resources may be found at www.ncsbn.org/nclex.htm.
**Some materials referenced and/or suggested will be available in French in the future; as materials become available, interested stakeholders will be advised.
The Canadian Council of Registered Nurse Regulators (CCRNR) and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) hosted the NCLEX Examination Webinar on Dec. 3, 2012 (English) and Dec. 10, 2012 (French).

Customer Reviews
non sono soddisfatta! è una cover in silicone finissima, la fantasia si taglia e si attacca! mai più
Hola !
Estuve fuera de Caceres de viaje y no pides recoger mi pedido.Pueden informarme en qué situación se encuentra?
Good morning, I have not received anything, and more than a week ago
Huawei P10 Bloodshot Camo Smartfit
The package was very nice and the quality of the stickers is better than I thought it would be. They stuck pretty easily. The only "issue" I faced was that the silicone case it came with is not so accurate and I had some trouble putting it on, it does not fit perfectly, especially on the volume and power buttons. But other than that, it was a great purchase! I would definitely buy some stuff again, I might be getting their cases next time!

From Buenos Aires, Argentina:
Are isometric exercises recommended for children with diabetes?
Isometric exercise for prepubertal children does not accomplish very much since the puberal hormones are needed to have maximum benefit. There are lots of myths about isometric exercise (such as weight-lifting) stunting growth, but they are mostly myths. Being reasonable about exercise is the best idea and making sure that the exercise is balanced with insulin and food, frequent monitoring to learn about exercise effects, etc. Remember that a lot of vigorous exercise, aerobic or anaerobic, will have a significant delayed effect and that hours after the exercise is really when extra food and/or less insulin effect is needed. Here again, insulin analogs (Humalog or NovoLog) are extremely helpful since they help titrate such needs more effectively than previous human Regular or animal insulins.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Cell phone company America Movil, the jewel in the crown of Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim's empire, is set to post a double-digit jump in first-quarter net profit and revenues, driven by the addition of Brazil's cable television company Net Servicos.
America Movil, which analysts estimate may have added another 4.7 million mobile subscribers in the January-March period, absorbed Net Servicos earlier this year.
"We believe that its impact on overall market sentiment toward America Movil's Brazilian operations may have a positive twist," Santander analysts Valder Nogueira and Bruno Mendonca said in a report.
"A good performance from Net in the first quarter 2012 could help ease, not solve, concerns about the Brazilian mobile business, one of investors' main pushbacks."
According to a Reuters survey of five analysts, America Movil's first-quarter net profit likely jumped 18.1 percent on average to 27.768 billion pesos ($2.2 billion) from the same period a year ago, with revenues in the period seen up 19 percent. The company is due to report earnings after markets close on Thursday.
Modifications beginning in 2012 for all Mexican companies on how commission and employee profit-sharing are recorded, bringing them into compliance with international financial reporting standards, should also help boost results.
"These accounting changes will make comparison with Brazilian peers much easier going forward, revealing stronger top line growth and reducing investors' concerns," said BBVA Research in a research note.
The company's bottom line would also get a lift from foreign exchange gains in the period -- it has operations in 17 countries outside Mexico.
Slim, the world's richest man according to Forbes, is coming back from a rough year in 2011, when America Movil faced tougher scrutiny from regulators - an order to lower fees helped push down annual profits by nearly 10 percent - and clashed with two powerful rivals, broadcasters Televisa and TV Azteca, as they fought for a slice of the phone market.
But analysts will take a closer look at the impact that lower interconnection fees will have on profit margins at its Mexican unit, which dominates about 70 percent of the cell phone market, with Spain's Telefonica a distant contender.
"Higher subscriber acquisition costs in both Mexico and Brazil, in conjunction with the significant adjustment in Mexico's mobile termination rates, should bring down the company's consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margin," said Actinver analyst Martin Lara.
Regulators forced Slim last year to slash fees that his telecom company charged rivals in Mexico.
They also slapped America Movil's Telcel with a record $1 billion fine, although the sanction may never happen as a series of legal maneuvers from Slim's camp could end up reducing the fine to a slap on a wrist.
Competition regulators will meet again on Monday, a full year after the fine was originally ruled, to vote on whether the Slim company should be fined.
Following is a table with the expected results. All figures in pesos:
JAN-MARCH 2012 JAN-MARCH 2011 PERCENTAGE CHANGE REVENUE 185.989 bln 156.232 bln + 19.0 pct EBITDA 66.760 bln 62.104 bln + 7.5 pct EBITDA MARGIN 35.9 39.8 - 390 basis points NET PROFIT 27.768 bln 23.511 bln + 18.1 pct

Amid the continuing crisis in the Central African Republic, the European Union is again transporting urgently needed humanitarian assistance into the country. Today, a plane ferried 80 tons of relief supplies from Nairobi, Kenya into the Central African Republic capital, Bangui, including emergency shelter, blankets and basic household items such as soap and kitchen utensils.
"The humanitarian needs created by this crisis are huge - the entire population is affected," said Kristalina Georgieva, EU Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response. "Only a few days ago we raised nearly half a billion dollars in pledges to bring yet more aid to the long-suffering Central Africans, more than half a million of whom have been uprooted from their homes in Bangui alone. We will continue to do all we can for as long as it takes." "As violence continues and the needs remain enormous, security and humanitarian access to the most vulnerable, both in and outside the capital, is an urgent priority."
The Central African Republic ranks among the world's poorest countries and has been embroiled in a decade-long armed conflict. The surge of violence in December 2013 exacerbated this situation and today half of the 4.6-million-strong population is in need of immediate aid. Almost a million people have been internally displaced, half of them in the capital Bangui alone. More than 245 000 Central Africans have sought refuge in neighbouring countries.
The EU is the largest provider of relief assistance to the country, with €76 million in 2013. Humanitarian aid from the European Commission has tripled last year to €39 million. The Commission has organised repeated airlift operations into the country to facilitate the deployment of relief material and personnel. A team of European humanitarian experts in the field is monitoring the situation, assessing the needs and overseeing the use of funds by partner organizations.

Just updated this excerpt of my, soon to be published, memoirs. I thought it would be relevant today when we celebrate the death of a tyrant.
Meat & Caguayos, short story excerpt, "Mario Jorge and the Muchachitas," memoirs by T.A. Terga.
The purity of the first nine years of my life in bucolic Julia, Oriente, in the Caribbean island that looks like an alligator reveals itself by neither judging nor questioning, just observing, and in so doing peace rests.
Creo que cuando hay miles de cosas que decir de un lugar nos vamos siempre a las mismas imágenes plantadas en nuestras memorias. "Recuerdo un dia soleado de mayo…"
Corre….corre……correeee…….Teresa corre y corre, dando vueltas la cabeza para ver quien viene cerca atrás.
I believe that although there could be hundreds of memories to choose from about a place and time, we always fall back to the same images and events implanted in our memory. "I remember a sunny and hot day in May…."
Run…ruuunnnn…..run………Teresa runs and runs turning her head from time to time to see…

I'm totally excited for my 3 whole days off for memorial day- and I've planned to take senior pictures for two lovely girls (one being my sister) all weekend long. But I just checked the weather- and it's not playing along, but it wasn't supposed to last weekend either, and it was beautiful out…. so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Last weekend I took pictures for the converses- one of my favorite families ever, and Brandee & Nick- one of my favorite couples ever. Both of them turned out great (If I do say so myself.)
But also, I want to say I'm currently reading this:
and it took me awhile to get into it, but now I'm over half way into it, and it's pretty good! It's amazing to hear about how she grew up, and how she got to the point of where she is now.
Also, I'm loving the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell… They take me forever to get through, but I've read the first 4 books so far, and I'm completely hooked!
And when I'm not reading, or editing pictures (or taking them) I'm either doing an at home zumba video ( LOVE it) or I'm watching this:
which is the United States of Tara- a showtime series- just in case you didn't know. I'm half way through season one, and I'm completely hooked!
Well, that's all for now… Sorry for my lack of posts lately… I'll try to work on that. I hope you all have a lovely holiday weekend ❤
