Drew (Japanese: シュウ Shū) is a recurring character of the Pokémon anime. He is a Pokémon Coordinator from LaRousse City and May's main rival.
Drew made his debut appearance in Now That's Flower Power!, where he was seen watching May training for the Slateport City Pokémon Contest. He said she needed a lot of practice and insulted her Pokémon, which made her angry. Later, when May and her friends were looking for Bluk Berries, he appeared and challenged her to a battle. He did a good job showing off the attacks of his Roselia, but the battle was interrupted when Team Rocket stole the Bluk Berries. He then helped May to retrieve the Berries and left.
He appeared in Win, Lose or Drew! to compete in the Slateport Contest. He received a good score in the Appeals Round and was qualified for the second round, where he and his Roselia defeated May and her Beautifly, but lost to Robert and his Milotic.
He appeared again in Pros and Con Artists, where he had a battle with Ash. Using his Roselia, he was able to defeat Ash's Taillow, despite being at a disadvantage. It was revealed in this episode that he had already won three Ribbons. In Come What May!, he competed in the Fallarbor Contest; however, he lost to Grace and her Medicham. Following the Contest, Drew congratulated the winner, May, by giving her a rose. This gesture was repeated in many other episodes.
His next appearance was in Disaster of Disguise, where he had a battle with The Phantom and lost. He was planning to compete in the Verdanturf Contest, but after his Roselia got injured in a battle with The Phantom's Dusclops, he thought it would not be good enough to battle and decided not to participate. He was seen in the audience of the Contest in Disguise Da Limit.
In A Fan with a Plan, Drew was revealed to own a Masquerain. He was seen practicing with it, and, in the following episode, he used it to defeat Savannah's Lairon in the finals of the Rubello Town Pokémon Contest. This victory gave Drew his fourth Ribbon.
Drew appeared again in Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?, where it was revealed that he had obtained his fifth Ribbon. When May showed him her four Ribbons, he told her that there was only one more Contest to be held before the Grand Festival, and criticized her for relying on luck and for not having strategies. May then challenged him to a battle, which was interrupted by Team Rocket's attempt to steal Pikachu. Accidentally, Drew was pulled into Team Rocket's submarine along with the rest of the group. When the submarine exploded, the entire group was blasted into the air. They fell in the Mirage Island, where they met a group of Wynaut.
Drew entered the Hoenn Grand Festival in Hi Ho Silver Wind!, where he sent out his Roselia to perform in the first Appeals Round. He received an excellent score that allowed him to pass to the second stage. In the following episode, he used his Masquerain for the second Appeals Round, and the performance given by the Eyeball Pokémon put him in the Battle Round. In Rhapsody in Drew, he faced May in the quarter-finals of the competition. Using his Roselia and Flygon, he was able to defeat May, who was using her Combusken and Skitty. He made it all the way to the finals, but lost to Robert, who also beat him in the Slateport Contest.
Afterwards, he decided to go to Kanto to compete in Pokémon Contests there. In On Cloud Arcanine, he was seen trying to catch an Arcanine. He gave up capturing the Pokémon when he discovered that it had a litter of Growlithe puppies to take care of. It was also revealed in this episode that he had obtained his first Kanto Ribbon.
In Spontaneous Combusken!, when May said she was ready to defeat him in the Chrysanthemum Contest, Drew revealed that he wasn't going to compete because he had participated in several Contests lately and his Pokémon were exhausted and in need of some rest and relaxation.
He appeared again in New Plot, Odd Lot! and Going for Choke!, where he watched May competing for her fifth and final Ribbon in the Mulberry City Pokémon Contest. He also helped Ash to frustrate Harley's plans of sabotaging May.
Drew reappeared to compete in the Kanto Grand Festival in May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!, where he was reunited with his old friend and rival Solidad, who had defeated him in his very first Contest a long time ago. He managed to pass the Appeals Round and quickly reached the quarter-finals, where he found himself against May once again. He fought a hard battle, but his Flygon and Absol ended up being defeated by May's Combusken and Squirtle.
In The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!, after finding May feeling down, he decided to have a Contest Battle with her to cheer her up. At the end of the episode, he revealed that he would be traveling to the Johto region to participate in Contests there.
He made cameo appearance with Harley and Solidad in Staging a Heroes' Welcome! and Strategy with a Smile! watching May on TV performing in the Wallace Cup.
Like Gary, Drew is portrayed as being confident, critical, and popular among his supporters, though he is generally not as overly insulting as Gary initially was.
When Drew had participated in his very first Contest, he had lost badly to a strong Pokémon Coordinator named Solidad. Solidad said the loss was so heartbreaking that he cried. Though he had suffered a defeat in his first Contest, he endeavored to become a better Coordinator and has succeeded to a good extent. He used to be very prone to nervousness when he started his Pokémon journey.
He used to taunt May when he first met her because she used to be like him when he first started out. Even though his comments and attitude may have angered May, he still provides a helping hand whenever she needs it.
This listing is of Drew's known Pokémon in the anime:
Roserade is Drew's main Pokémon. It first appeared as a Roselia in Now That's Flower Power!. As revealed in A Full Course Tag Battle!, it evolved into Roserade while accompanying Drew to Johto.

|Ikue Ohtani (Roselia)
|Sarah Natochenny (Roselia)
| Masquerain made its debut in A Fan with a Plan. May, while training with her Bulbasaur, stumbled across Drew training his Pokémon's Bubble attack. In the next episode, he used it in the Rubello Town Pokémon Contest. In the first round, it used Ice Beam to freeze its own Bubbles, and then Hidden Power to launch the projectiles at Sonny's Girafarig to knock it out. It then managed to outscore Savannah's Lairon by hitting it with Hidden Power in the finals to win the Contest. Drew uses Masquerain again to battle against May's Beautifly in Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?, both make a good battle but they are interrupted by Team Rocket where trying to capture their Pokémon. At the end of the episode, Drew uses Masquerain alongside Roselia to battle against Team Rocket together with May and Ash's Pokémon.
It also appeared in the Hoenn Grand Festival appeal stage in Deceit and Assist. Its Bubble and Silver Wind impressed the crowd, scored a perfect 100, and allowed Drew to move on to the final stages of the Contest. In the next episode, it fought Robert's Claydol and Milotic alongside his Flygon, where it fell to Claydol's Hyper Beam. In May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!, Drew used it in the preliminaries of the Kanto Grand Festival. It got Drew through to the next round by spinning around and around to create a great gust of wind and air. In Thinning the Hoard, it fought alongside Roselia and used Silver Wind to defeat a Medicham and a Loudred.
Masquerain's known moves are Bubble, Hidden Power, Ice Beam, Quick Attack, and Silver Wind.

| Flygon debuted in the Hoenn Grand Festival where he sent it out alongside Roselia to battle May's Combusken and Skitty, where it was able to defeat them. May was surprised to see it, and Drew revealed that he caught it specifically for the Grand Festival. Flygon was used alongside Masquerain during Drew's rematch against Robert and lost. In On Cloud Arcanine, it was used to try to capture an Arcanine and battled Squirtle but the battle was called off due to Arcanine's arrival. In Going for Choke!, he used it to save Ash and his friends from Team Rocket's traps. Beginning in Thinning the Hoard, Drew used it in the Kanto Grand Festival, along with Absol, where it battled May's Combusken and Squirtle. Flygon ended up losing to Squirtle after a tough battle, despite using a combination of its and Drew's Absol's moves, dubbed Dragon Razor Wind by Lilian.
Flygon's known moves are Dragon Breath, Flamethrower, Sandstorm, and Steel Wing.

| Absol made its debut in the Kanto Grand Festival where Drew used it in his Appeal Round. Even though Absol made it through to the next round with its move combinations, Drew felt was not as dedicated to him unlike his other Pokémon, since it was afraid to attack Drew with Razor Wind. After a talk with Ash later that night, Drew decided to use Absol in the Contest alongside his Flygon in the Double Battle round. Later, they were to fight May and her Combusken and Squirtle. During the battle, Absol was able to use combination of Drew's Flygon's and its moves, dubbed Dragon Razor Wind by Lilian. After a harsh battle, Absol and Combusken were left to fight alone. However, Combusken, after making full use of its newly-learned Overheat, had more points than Absol when the time ran out and May moved on to the semi-finals.
Absol's known moves are Flash, Iron Tail, Razor Wind and Water Pulse.

| Even though it was only recently caught, Butterfree was shown to be already very powerful. It was used in a Double Battle alongside his Roselia against May's Combusken and Beautifly where it managed to defeat them after using a combo of Psybeam and SolarBeam from Roselia.
Butterfree's known moves are Confusion, Gust, Psybeam and Protect.

Voice actors
In the manga
In the Ash & Pikachu manga
Drew has a role in the Ash & Pikachu manga. Unlike his anime counterpart, he is more flamboyant and arrogant. He also has a tendency to break into dance regularly.
He appeared in The Enchanting Pokémon Soul!, in which he insulted May while she was training her Beautifly. He claimed that May wasn't good in Pokémon Contest and this made May frustrated. However, Drew did not seem to care.
In the Slateport Contest, Drew sent out Roselia and the performance it delivered gave Drew a fantastic score, higher than May's. During the Battle Stage, Drew was matched up against May. Despite May trying her best and her Beautifly having the type advantage, Drew was able to defeat her. He went to challenge Robert and his Milotic, and lost despite the type advantage. After the loss, Drew shrugged it off and promised to be better in the next Pokémon Contest and went off, motivating May to do the same.
- Except for his Masquerain, all of Drew's Pokémon have the same name in English as in Japanese.
- Drew is the first (and so far, only) regular character to be from a movie-only location.
- Drew has two Pokémon whose names are derived from "masquerade".
- Drew also seems to be based of the Ace Trainer from Hoenn because of the green hair and eyes.

This London derby got off to a lively start with both sets of fans helping to create a raucous atmosphere at the Cottage. The visitors' primary target in attack was clearly the head of Peter Crouch, who was looking to occupy the dangerous positions in front of Fulham's back line – looking for the flick-ons.
But whilst neither keeper was called into action in the opening 15 minutes, it was Tottenham who were establishing the territorial advantage with lots of early possession in the Fulham half. Fortunately for the Whites, much of Spurs' possession was limited to long range efforts, such as the free-kick from distance from Niko Kranjcar, which drifted harmlessly wide on 17 minutes.
With stakes high, both sidles were careful of not committing too much forward as the first-half continued with neither Mark Schwarzer or Heurelho Gomes making any stops of note.
A powerful strike from Kranjcar on 28 minutes forced a strong parry from Schwarzer as Spurs managed to connect a rare few passages of play together. A header from Crouch on 30 minutes had Schwarzer troubled but the Fulham keeper was alert enough to push the England striker's effort wide.
A powerful piece of running from Bobby Zamora on 39 minutes had the Spurs defence on the back foot, with Gomes eventually having to clear the danger with his head for a throw-in.
The second-half got under way with the Whites attacking the Hammersmith End. Roy Hodgson's men wasted little time in attacking when a cross from Simon Davies was headed back into the path of Zoltan Gera by Bobby Zamora. The Hungarian international forced a splendid save from Gomes with his header.
Dickson Etuhu saw his 49th minute header gratefully held by Gomes after the Whites pressed forward.
Spurs were looking to Gareth Bale for their spark of creativity, and he nearly provided an opportunity for the visitors on 53 minutes when he caused the Fulham defence a headache with a determined run down the left flank.
A spell of pressure for Tottenham ensued which culminated in Michael Dawson firing a powerful volley wide on 57 minutes. The action swung to the other end just a minute later when an inviting volley fell to Damien Duff's right foot, unfortunately the winger could only swing his effort wide of goal.
With a number of fifty-fifty challenges increasing in the second-half, this encounter started to pick up. Gomes pulled off a fine save on 63 minutes to deny Damien Duff's effort from the edge of the area.
The action swung from end to end; the Whites used a slightly more direct approach whilst Spurs' attacked looked to utilise the space afforded to them by Bale and Assou-Ekotto down Fulham's left wing.
With the time running down the attacks from both sides, which had previously been somewhat limited, were starting to loosen up with more players being forced forward.
David Elm came on for Simon Davies on 72 minutes as Roy Hodgson looked to refresh his attacking line-up. The switch saw Gera move too wide left with Elm taking his place up front.
The Whites managed to wrestle the upper hand from Spurs late on in the second-half when Bobby Zamora was just unable to stretch and get his toe on the end of a dangerous pass into the area.
Harry Redknapp's introduction of Jermain Defoe with nine minutes remaining was a clear attempt to end the tie on the day. But it did little to swing the play in favour of his side as both teams continued to battle out a tense affair. Bobby Zamora was almost set free down the right wing on 84 minutes but his right-footed shot from the angle flew wide of the post.

A couple weeks ago, a woman told me that her husband had his entire colon removed in August 2007. Since then, he has been hospitalized twice with staph and strep in his wounds. He is also suffering from a great deal of pain in his abdomen and gets the sensation that there is fluid in his abdominal tissues. They are concerned about his next surgery the "take-down" procedure during which his doctors will remove his temporary ostomy and he will begin producing stool through his J-pouch. His doctors believe "there is no medical reason" for his abdominal pain and that he is simply addicted to his painkillers.
After some of my surgeries, I had continual abdominal pain and definitely had fluid issues resulting in leaks. No doctor ever told me that "there was no medical reason" for my pain but neither did they encourage me that they knew the reason for my pain or fluid issues. Not everyone is a textbook case and not everyone has textbook reactions and some doctors do not know how to deal with an issue that is not textbook. No one knows your body as well as you do. So my suggestion would be to pay attention to what your body is telling you. In general I have found over the years that often when a doctor cannot find the reason for your pain they may tell you it is in your head or as in this woman's husband's case "addiction to painkillers."
One time I had a persistent fistula (leak) from my abdomen that kept draining out of my incision. I had been told by my then doctor that people have fistulas sometimes for years. Some heal and some do not and there was nothing they could do about it. This went on for months.
However, my new set of doctors decided to operate to see if they could find the cause. This new doctor did not accept the "it just happens sometimes" theory. It turned out that once inside the new doctor found a red trail of irritation that lead them directly to a
non dissolving stitch that had been left behind from one of my many previous surgeries. One little stitch had been irritating my tissue and causing this leak on and off for nine months. Once that stitch was removed, my fistula healed.
Hopefully, your husband's "takedown" will eliminate his pain and the "fluid" feeling he has been having.
Even now, a year after all my many surgeries, I still have strange tingling, twitching and super sensitive abdominal moments. Sometimes sensations come from external sources, such as a shirt or fingers brushing over my stomach. Doctors have explained that this is known as hyperesthesia. Other sensations come from within. Those are the ones that I still do not know the specific source of. However, doctors assure me it is simply my body dealing with the fact that all my muscles don't connect as they normally should. These sensations often catch me off guard, make me flinch, twitch or even occasionally cringe in brief moments of shooting pain. But, at this point, so long after my surgeries, they are part of daily life, for me.
Gutlessly yours,

Just because there's too much silence, I feel like bringing this up. Going through the archives of the strip, I'm always surprised to see the progression of how I draw.
I'm inherently lazy. I mean, I am really lazy. When I draw, I don't even bother to focus my eyes. How lazy is that? Anyway, on occasion, I do put effort in what I draw and you can clearly tell in which Sandwich World storylines I did.
Subsequently, two of these particular storylines have ended up as my favorites; Boredom, for the quality of the art (even though Roderick, the shirtless guy, has two right feet in the second page...), and Back To Basics, for the combination of art and storytelling.
Some online comic artists occasionally go back to re-draw old strips from back when they really sucked (though I can't seem to be able to name any off the top of my head... David Willis? Hmm, no.) but I like comparing the really old crappy strips with the newer ones.[/i]

Online Merchant Accounts
Internet Merchant Accounts are very similar to that of a MOTO Merchant Account (Mail Order / Telephone Order) because the customer's card is not available at the time of purchase. This is also known as a "Card Not Present" or "CNP" account.
One option for processing web payments is to connect directly to the processor through the merchants website to process payments. For most people, the development overhead, staffing, etc. make this direct connection implausible.
The solution is to use a payment gateway such as Authorize.Net, QuickCommerce or Zoomgate. These payment gateways serve as an intermediary between your website and the entity that facilitates the payment processing. Other related advantages include the ability to process credits, refunds, or make charges via a payment gateways administrative interface also known as a Virtual Terminal.
What you should know about Online Merchant Accounts
Because the credit card isn't present at the time of purchase, there is an increased risk of fraudulent purchases and the rate structure reflects this risk. But that's not the only factor as it relates to the rate structure. Other variables such as the Average Ticket Price (AVT) have an impact as does the type of web oriented businesses. Some categories of online businesses also present a greater frequency of customer chargeback's (customer disputed charges) and others may require a High Risk Merchant Account.
It's critical that the agent configuring your rate structure understand the variables mentioned above. Too often we'll see processors that present rate solutions that look terrific, but in practice have nothing to do with the reality of businesses requirements. At 1st National we'll be sure to get this right.
The Benefits of a Virtual Terminal
Aside from the ability to connect a payment processing module to a shopping cart, The "Virtual Terminal" empowers the merchant to accept credit cards by entering the information on their PC via the web. This option provides great flexibility for many businesses where there is a mixture of customers processing via the online cart, and others that prefer to contact a sales agent for processing.
Another terrific benefit is that the same technology used to connect the payment gateway to your shopping cart can also be used to process payment on your Smartphone. 1st National offers a free download, Mobile Merchant Pro, that supports the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry which give the merchant the ability to process payments. These applications act a front end to Authorize.Net, Quick Commerce, and Zoomgate.
In many cases, 1st National can provide you with a complimentary Zoomgate Gateway. This can provide great flexibility for your business and customers.

I really love Valvover's design in maps. The environments he chooses are very interesting and original. Coldwar has great environment and Gloom too. I would like to put some creative feedback to Gloom.
Imo current layout wastes good design. Look:
To make my point even more clear:
When I am in the caves, I can't say where I am without minimap, and I can't say to my team members where I am at all. 360 degrees - same texture. I have some ideas and suggestion how to solve this problem.
First of all - a happy story. I read once a book about screenwriting. The team of screenwriters had to write screenplay about family and white pony. They were unhappy with their script. They could not fit whit pony into story. So they started to rework material over and over. To fit this damn horse. After few months they were extremely happy with story - they have achieved what they wanted. And one of them asked - where is this white pony in our nice story? And they have realized, they forgot about him. Thanks to that, they have written good story.
What teaches us this story? That sometimes it's better to cut off a large piece of our work and start over. Because we are sometimes in dead end without even knowing it.
Gloom takes place in some jungle/cave environment. Obviously, you can rely on caves only. Now you do and look - labyrinth. What I propose is looking outside of the box.
Caves are great idea if you use all potential and add some other things, that will make them video-game friendly.
Have you thought about water? It's common there are lakes underground. You could add small lake with a small island-alike thingy in the middle. With circle jump ppl would have opportunity to go on shortcut.
That area would be more open-space, less claustrophobic. If you have added there some different light, it would became nice orientation point!
There is a map, ut4_guerilla. It's very randomly created, but has nice idea. Water canal. And this water is shallow. You can't swim there, but you make a lot of noise traveling there. This little lake on Gloom could have a shallow water. No stupid problems with flag falling down there too deep or bomb.
Think about lake.
If we speak about lake, why not go further - river? If river - bridges! They can be "normal" bridges, or more alike fords http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_%28crossing%29
OMG! Another TWO orientation points! Not to mention, that you can separate more areas of your map, but add sneaky shortcut, if some one is ready to go deeper into river and emerge on the onother side:
Just one that kind of shortcut, call it "Devil's Throat" - 4th orientation point. And if you plan it carefully, river can lead to village!
Let's go further.
If you have houses/shacks - it means that ppl live there. Why You won't use it for your own evil plans. Look:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cAWYSTizjTo/T ... an%2B1.jpg
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AOFyjh20sfw/T ... an%2B2.jpg
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yqsQcxWk4iw/S ... 282%29.png
And so on. One village can be shacks/that kind of houses - that would be native ppl with Pocahontas as their leader, and onother side could be slavers/drug dealers camp:
Put there a jeep and some weapon crates and you are done.
Moreover one last thing. You could transform this little hole (almost unnoticable)
into THIS:

Costas Philippou
TRAINING: A lot of conditioning, wrestling, and striking. I'm planning to move forward and push the pace.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started boxing in 1994. Boxing was huge then and basically I wanted to learn how to defend myself. I found myself fighting six months after that. A few years later, my best friend, who was my coach at the time, decided that I had to leave the country and go to the States and turn pro as a boxer. It was overnight almost. I fought in the Golden Gloves two months after I came to the country and I made it to the finals in Madison Square Garden but I lost a split decision. I turned pro, had three fights, and my last fight was on ESPN, and due to some differences with my manager and coach over here, I decided I was going to quit, but I was still under contract for two more years, so I figured I'd give MMA a shot. And I fell in love with it.
What ranks and titles have you held? Ring of Combat title. In amateur boxing, in 1996, I won the Bronze medal in the European Championships in Turkey. I tried for the Olympic Games but I didn't make it by a couple points.
Do you have any heroes? No
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? Every mixed martial artist's dream is to fight in the UFC so for me, it's a dream come true. I came close last time and I screwed up, so hopefully it will go my way this time. I'm at a different level this time against a huge opponent, but I think I can do it, I'm going to do my best, and it will be a good fight. Win or lose, I'm going to put on a show.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I had two years of college in Greece, but it didn't go too well.
What was your job before you started fighting? Personal trainer, bouncer, process server
Ranks in any martial arts styles: None
Favorite grappling technique: The can opener and the armbar
Favorite striking technique: Right cross / left hook

Feeling confident enough to take a 'belfie'? That's a bum selfie if you don't already know and it's the latest selfie taking trend to come from Instagram.
Launched by Cheeky Exploits to "make the world a happier place through butts", the page already has nearly 85,000 followers and is just shy of 200 bare bums on their account. If you're tempted to take your selfie images to a whole new level, you'll need to be brave enough to get that derrière out in public – just make sure no one's watching or you'll end up being done for indecent exposure.

I never imagined that starting in the fall, I would wake up in the morning, throw on some clothes, – jeans are work clothes for the first time in a dozen years! – get in my car, drive to Nulu, go to an office where I have a big fancy desk, and spend my work day being paid to write about all of the amazing things that are happening in Louisville.
|520 East Brands Holiday Lunch
I never imagined that my blogging and Tweeting habits (or addictions) would be what eventually earned me a living.
I never imagined that clients would seek me out. That I would be, at one point, so overloaded that I had to turn down work.
I thought that I would end up working for The Man, at least for a little while until I could distinguish myself and work my way up some ladder or another. I thought I would end up on the payroll of Brown-Forman or Humana or YUM!, towing a corporate line. Nothing wrong with that, of course. And I wouldn't turn down that opportunity, even now, necessarily.
2012 has been a year of high highs and low lows.
At the turn of the new year last year, I never would have imagined that as I approached 2013 I would be in Love with a capital "L." It's an amazing feeling. I kind of forgot how great it was.
I never imagined that my friend stable would double in size. That I would know so many of my Twitter friends personally. That the world will at the same time become bigger and smaller to me in this way.
I never thought I could be this happy professionally. Personally.
|My grandmother
I never imagined that I would face 2013 without my favorite person in the world, my grandmother, Vange.
I still have so much work to do to balance out my personal life and my professional life. I have so much to do to become the person that I want to be in 2013.
But I am so lucky to have so many amazing people rooting for me. I'm so lucky that when I wake up in the morning and crankily scrape the frost from my car windows, I am going to a job I love at a business I believe in.
I get to cheerlead for Louisville for a living. There's no job better suited to me than that.

A standout design for your everyday looks! This gold over silver ring features an abstract shaped and shimmering drusy at its center. A single sapphire adds a touch of cool blue color and to this flashy piece.
Check out the Ring Sizing Guide to find your ring size.
All weights pertaining to gemstones, including diamonds, are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. View Gemstone Enhancements and Special Care Requirements for important information.
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:
There are several different spellings, but "druzy," "drusy" and "druse" all refer to minute quartz crystals that form within or on other stones. When ground water carrying dissolved silica is forced into a porous area of rock, rapid cooling often occurs. It causes the formation of tiny crystals on top of previously deposited minerals or gemstones, particularly quartz, chalcedony or agate. The cutting of drusy cabochons begins with a rough agate geode. After removing the outer layers of agate, the inner cavity with the drusy is revealed. These pieces are then cut so that a thin layer is left with the drusy crystals appearing on the top. The agate portion of each piece is then shaped, sanded and polished.

Fry cast in TV film of Rankin novel
Stephen Fry has been cast as an art expert who gets mixed up in an underworld heist in a new TV film based on a novel by Rebus writer Ian Rankin.
The actor and presenter will play Professor Gissing in ITV1's Doors Open which is set in Rankin's home town of Edinburgh.
Fry said: "I picked up Ian Rankin's breathless and ingenious thriller Doors Open at an airport a year or so back and as I read I just knew it would make a thrilling, charming and original TV drama. I also adored the character of Professor Gissing and a shamefully vain part of me refused to see anyone else in the role. I am so thrilled that ITV were of the same opinion".
The story follows self-made millionaire Mike Mackenzie, played by Dougie Henshall, who attempts to swap a series of priceless masterpieces with forgeries.
Filming starts in the Scottish capital later this month.
Rankin's crime novels about Detective Inspector John Rebus are regulars on the best-seller lists and have been filmed for television with first John Hannah and then Ken Stott playing the detective.

gadget and toys lover
So can you tell me how she loves gadgets.
This photo shows pretty gifts from Tita Ched and Tita Gretel.
Showing off, she thinks she knows everything about biking already.
Keanna at 4 yo beside her ever fave puppy which was a gift from my Mama.
We already have a PC at home but when we visit my Parents-in-law, she would always ask permission if she can play. Haha!
I think she's beginning ot develop her interest in photography too...she took a pic of herself.
Here's a photo of her showing off her GB with friend Isabel.
I still have lots of toys stored for her.

I actually made this drawing a long time ago and I have been asked countless times to make a tutorial out of it. So I guess I have to do as people ask because I know that it will be fun and exciting for you all. Here is "how to draw a love tattoo", step by step. I know it's hard to draw love and one might think that there is no such thing as such a concept. But if you draw a portrait of what love is supposed to look like, I think you can actually pull something like that off. In this picture I made a figure that is bowing down in a surrendering pose as he/she give up their heart to the one they love. The offer of the heart in itself makes this image captivating and beautiful. The soft texture of the character in the colored image is so intense and heartfelt. Drawing a love tattoo is going to be something that will need to be taken slowly. Nonetheless, you will enjoy this tut either way. Peace out people and enjoy yourselves.

How shopping can help save the planet
The Gunther Report
How shopping can help save the planet
The activist and filmmaker Annie Leonard, who created an Internet sensation back in 2007 with her 20-minute animated movie The Story of Stuff (viewed more than 15 million times) is back with the new video called The Story of Change.
In the video, she urges "viewers to put down their credit cards and start exercising their citizen muscles" to build a more just, sustainable and fulfilling world.
Turning for inspiration to Gandhi and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., she argues that buying "green" is no substitute for the hard work of political organizing.
"The solutions we really need are not for sale at the supermarket," she says.
The movie runs for about six minutes. Take a look below.
The idea that we need to take political action to deal with big environmental and social problem is both inarguable and unremarkable. It should be obvious that we can't shop our way to the regulation of carbon pollution or to a more equitable tax system.
But I think Leonard has it exactly backwards when it comes to the power of consumers. Like many on the left, she seems to define people as "good" because we pursue health, happiness and well-being and corporations as "bad" because they pursue profits, exploit and pollute. But, for the most part, we get the corporations that we deserve. Those that meet the needs of people thrive. Those that fail to satisfy will wither away. Put simply, the power of consumers is formidable.
Illustration of woman with shopping bags courtesy of Zoom Team via Shutterstock.
That's why I think environmental and social activists ought to devote more, not less time, to changing consumer behavior. The food we eat, the cars we drive, the size of the houses we build and buy and other choices we make have significant global environmental consequences – particularly because Americans are, on a per capita basis, among the biggest polluters on the planet. [See my 2010 blog post, Can behavioral economics help save the planet?]
More importantly, conscious consumers can reward companies that are responsible and punish those that are not. Over time, this has changed and will continue to change corporate behavior.
I could offer dozens of examples to prove that point, but I'll put forward just three.
No. 1: Last fall, Starbucks, a corporate-responsibility leader, formed a partnership with the Opportunity Finance Network, a national network of community development financial institutions, to provide financing for small businesses, housing and nonprofits and thereby help create jobs. [See my October 2011 blog post, Starbucks: We are indivisible] I'm partial to this program because it was the brainchild of two of my friends, Ben Packard of Starbucks and Mark Pinsky of the Opportunity Finance Network, and so I noticed the other day that Starbucks has been selling coffee beans under the Indivisible brand to raise more money.
I emailed Mark to ask him how the fundraising is going. He replied: "We've raised more than $11.5 million to date, which multiplies into more than $80 million in new financing, more than 3,700 jobs created and retained, and more than 650,000 wristbands out there somewhere."
That's real change, driven by consumer behavior and led by a company and a CEO, Howard Shultz, who understand that the power of business can be deployed to do good.
No. 2: I've been doing some reporting lately about aquaculture and the efforts by environmental groups working with industry to develop standards and certification systems to separate those fish farmers who operate more sustainably from those who do not. Rigorous new standards for popular species like shrimp and salmon are being rolled out by a group called the Aquaculture Stewardship Council.
Standards, certifications and eco-labels have their drawbacks, of course, but they can be a power lever to change corporate behavior. The Forest Stewardship Council rewards the better timber operations and the Marine Stewardship Council certifies responsible fisheries. They do so because they get backing from big retailers like Staples and Office Depot for paper products and Unilever and Walmart for wild-caught fish. These retailers, in turn, reflect what they believe to be the expectations of consumers that they "do the right thing."
Imagine what an even more energized consumer culture could accomplish.
No. 3: Enormous political effort has been expended to increase fuel-efficiency standards. Automakers agreed to increase average fuel economy to 54.5 miles per gallon for cars and light trucks by 2025. (It's actually more complicated than that, and we can argue another time about whether fuel-economy standards make sense). None of that would be necessary, really, if people chose on their own to buy small, fuel-efficient, hybrid or electric cars. The automakers would, very rapidly, adjust to meet consumer demands; the entire culture and outlook of the industry would change.
Or, better yet, what if more people chose take buses or trains? Or walked or biked to work? [Here's a great story about biking "highways" in Copenhagen, where about half of the people already bike to work.]
Now, just to be clear, I'm not arguing that personal choices can take the place of political action. But the choice between behavior change and activism is not an either/or. It's a both/and. People who bike to work are more likely to lobby for bike lanes.
But, please, let's not underestimate the power of shopping — or better yet, not shopping — to change the world. Corporations are not abstract, evil entities, disconnected from the rest of us. They're a reflection of who we are and what we do.

Children who are Medicaid eligible and have a developmental disability may qualify to receive home and community-based services through the Children's Developmental Disabilities (DD) Services Program.
The Children's DD Services Program is a system of care that has a wide array of benefits for children based on the individual needs of the child and include interventions, supports and collaboration services. The system emphasizes evidence-based treatment methods, community integration, and family empowerment.
Children's DD services can be delivered via two pathways – the Traditional Pathway or the Family-Directed Pathway.
Traditional Model - Families who choose to access services through the traditional model will receive services from DD agencies who are paid for providing defined Medicaid benefits.
Family-Directed Services Model - Families who choose to access services through the family-directed services model will continue to receive services and supports defined by the family from persons and businesses of their choice.
Some children are also able to receive certain services at school. Learn more about School-Based Services.
If a child (up to the age of 21), needs medically necessary services that exceed the limitations of the Medicaid State Plan, Idaho Medicaid can approve the additional services through the Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Learn more about the EPSDT benefit (includes application).
Children's DD Services Enhancement Project
If your family is new to the DD program, we welcome you, and invite you to browse through our website to answer any questions you may have regarding benefits and services available to you. We have also updated our Application Packet for services.

the intersections and decreasing the amount of time drivers spend waiting at traffic lights.
These flashing yellow lights have been in some parts of town since 2010, starting on State Street. Since then, the Ada County Highway District has been installing more of them around Ada County.
While they're not a new addition, these lights can be found at 100 of 400 intersections with traffic signals in Ada County. They're similar to other green left turn yield lights, but the Ada County Highway District says research shows these lights are more intuitive for drivers.
"Nobody likes to sit at a traffic signal, especially when they would have an opportunity to turn," Myron said. "When they can see that no traffic is coming for half of a mile, the worst thing you can have to do is wait."
"Often times drivers see green and they think 'go,'" Ada County High way District Spokeswoman Christine Myron said. "When they see yellow, they often associate that with caution and having to yield."
"So far so good and we'll continue," Myron said. "I know we have an ongoing list of places where we will continue installing them so people may notice them along their commute more in the future."
On June 22, a Boise woman died in a crash near Micron after colliding with a truck and a horse trailer at an intersection with a flashing yellow light.
people a bit of time to recognize how they should respond," Myron said.
"Certainly safety is a huge priority to us, so we will continue to evaluate those intersections where we've installed the flashing yellow arrows," Myron said.
There has been no public information sent out about these lights, but the ACHD says people have been catching on quickly, and are thankful for the quicker commute they create.

They're called flashing yellow lights, and mean that drivers should yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians before making a left turn. Once the road is clear, they can make the turn.
Myron added that they evaluate each intersection on a case by case basis, and that intersections must have certain criteria in order to be determined safe to place one of the flashing yellow lights there.
Ada County Highway District looks at variables like traffic volume, pedestrian volume, sight distance and speed of travel to pick which intersections could see the additions.
The lights also can't be used at intersections with more than one turn lane.
"Typically we only install them on roads that have a speed limit of 45 mph or less," Myron said.
Flashing yellow traffic lights
Here's another interesting fact: these flashing lights can be turned on and off throughout the day. For example, if there is a peak time for pedestrian crossing at an intersection, the Ada County Highway District can turn the lights off so that drivers will no longer have an option to turn on the flashing yellow.

The fallout from Russia's excursion into Georgia continues to be mapped by the news media (view graphic). Today the New York Times features a map looking at post-Solviet power structures in eastern Europe and Central Asia where democratic and not-so-democratic regimes still feel Moscow's shadow while being tugged at by the West.
The above graphic accompanies a story by Bill Keller in the Times called Cold Friends, Wrapped in Mink and Medals. The first few graphs:
Writing in The Financial Times last week, Chrystia Freeland recalled Francis Fukuyama's 1989 essay "The End of History?," which trumpeted the definitive triumph of liberal democracy. The great nightmare tyrannies of last century — the Evil Empire, Red China — had been left behind by those inseparable twins, freedom and prosperity. Civilization had chosen, and it chose us.
So much for that thesis. Surveying the Russian military rout of neighboring Georgia and the spectacle of China's Olympics, Ms. Freeland, editor of The Financial Times's American edition and a journalist who started her career covering Russia and Ukraine, proclaimed that a new Age of Authoritarianism was upon us.
If it is not yet an age, it is at least a season: Springtime for autocrats, and not just the minor-league monsters of Zimbabwe and the like, but the giant regimes that seemed so surely bound for the ash heap in 1989.
The Chinese have made their Olympics an exultant display of athletic prowess and global prestige without having to temper their impulse to suppress and control. From the dazzling locksteps of that opening ceremony, to the kowtowing international V.I.P.'s, to the carefully policed absence of protest, this was an Olympics largely free of democratic mess.
Individualism has been confined between lane markers. The pre-Olympics promises that attention would be paid to international norms of behavior went unredeemed. The New York Times's Andrew Jacobs followed one citizen who decided to take up the government's Olympic offer of designated protest zones for aggrieved parties who had filed the proper paperwork. Zhang Wei applied for the requisite license and was promptly arrested for "disturbing social order." Take that, International Olympic Committee.
The striking thing about Russia's subjugation of uppity Georgia was not the ease or audacity but the swagger of it. This was not just about a couple of obscure border enclaves, nor even, really, about Georgia. This was existential payback.
It turns out that if 1989 was an end — the end of the Wall, the beginning of the end of the Soviet empire, if not in fact the end of history — it was also a beginning.

A 'Crisis' in Online Ads: One-Third of Traffic Is Bogus
As Digital Advertising Climbs Toward $50 Billion This Year, Marketers Battle Fraudulent Visitors
Billions of dollars are flowing into online advertising. But marketers also are confronting an uncomfortable reality: rampant fraud.
About 36% of all Web traffic is considered fake, the product of computers hijacked by viruses and programmed to visit sites, according to estimates cited recently by the Interactive Advertising Bureau trade group.
