We offer a wide variety of programs and activities to promote a healthy lifestyle for everyone, all ages and all fitness levels.
Massage Therapy
Our massage therapists are NYS licensed and insured. All are graduates of The Swedish Institute in NYS and are members in good standing of various state and national organizations.
Deep Tissue Therapy55 minutes
Focusing on deeper layers of muscle tissue, this therapy is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscle. Deep tissue helps break up and eliminate scar tissue, loosen muscle tissue, release toxins from muscles, and get blood and oxygen circulating correctly.
Pre-Natal & Post-Partum55 minutes
Specific techniques can reduce pregnancy discomforts and concerns and enhance the physiological and emotional well-being of both mother and fetus. Sciatica, swelling, back and neck pain and stomach upset associated with pregnancy can be relieved. Specialized techniques to re-align body structure, improve physiological and emotional well-being of the new mother may be applied through this type of massage. Physician referral may be required.
Shiatsu55 minutes
Gentle pressure is applied to areas of energy lines (Meridians) to improve upon one's health by stimulating the body's energy flow (Ki). Shiatsu is a specific treatment that incorporates the use of fingers, thumbs, palms, forearms, elbows, and feet. Sessions usually take place on mats placed on the floor. Sessions begin with gentle stretching and manipulation techniques to simulate the movement of energy and to relax and warm up the muscles. The benefits include stimulation of the circulatory, lymphatic and hormonal systems.
Sports Massage/Myofascial Trigger Point Massage55 minutes
Alleviate stress and tension that can build up in the body's soft tissues during physical activity where minor injuries, adhesions and lesions occur. Help prepare the body for performance by relieving swelling, reduce muscle tension and fatigue, promote flexibility, increase circulation and prevent injury. Techniques used are often a blend of Swedish, Trigger Point, and/or Shiatsu.
Trigger point therapy involves the applying of pressure to tender muscle tissue in order to relieve pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body. Through a series of sessions this type of massage will help relieve swelling and stiffness of neuromuscular pain, improve range of motion, and relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, greater flexibility and vestibular improvement.
Swedish Massage55 minutes
Relax. The application of gentle pressure to the muscle against deeper muscles and bones while rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart will increases oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Swedish massage helps in the recovery time from muscle strain, increases circulation, keeps ligaments and tendons supple, and stimulates the skin and nerves.
Reflexology45 minutes
This modality will help stimulate healthy functioning of the internal organs and eliminate toxins in the body. Specific pathways focusing on your head, hands and feet will help promote optimum health and relaxation.
Post-Operative Massage55 minutes
This specific type of massage deals with the healing process of the surgical repair of tissue. It will help prevent scar tissue from developing and help bring back strength, alignment, and help alleviate pain.

Skip to comments.Compassionate Conservatism Lost
Posted on 11/09/2006 7:25:30 AM PST by Small-L
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, likely new House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and the media will portray Tuesday's takeover as a repudiation of President Bush's leadership on the war in Iraq. The public's media-tinted perception of U.S. progress in Iraq, and its subsequent willingness to vote for Democratic House and Senate candidates does not, however, fully explain the switch in party control. No explanation of the Democrats' takeover is complete without laying partial blame on President Bush's so-called compassionate conservative agenda.
The term compassionate conservatism was coined by University of Texas professor and World Magazine editor Marvin Olasky in Olasky's 2000 book titled Compassionate Conservatism: What it is, What it Does, and How it Can Transform America. In an October 21, 2006 Wall Street Journal profile, Bush's former chief speechwriter Michael Gerson described the president's governing philosophy this way: "Compassionate conservatism is the theory that the government should encourage the effective provision of social services without providing the service itself."
Bush's big-government policies have certainly transformed America, but they are not even in the same neighborhood as true limited-government conservatism. Worse, the president, his advisors, the Republican National Committee and Republican leaders in the House and Senate have alienated the party's conservative base of activists and voters.
Compassionate conservatism first brought us the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. NCLB further consolidated federal oversight of education in an era when local control was the mantra of conservative voters and Republican congressional candidates.
Compassionate conservatism gave us the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003. A Heritage Foundation report on the Medicare trustees' estimates finds that "Medicare's long-term debt, based on a 75-year actuarial projection, is now estimated to be $32.4 trillion. Of that amount, $8 trillion is directly attributable to the Medicare prescription drug entitlement." The prescription drug bill is one of the largest expansions of the entitlement state in our nation's history.
Bush has further abandoned fiscal conservatism on federal spending, one of the bedrock principles of conservative ideology. According to Richard Viguerie, author of Conservatives Betrayed, federal spending rose by 4.7 percent in President Clinton's first term, and 3.7 percent in his second term. Federal spending rose 19.2 percent in Bush's first term alone.
Too many Republicans in the House and Senate have enabled the compassionate conservative ruse by refusing to lead on true conservative solutions. The flawed structures of the Social Security and Medicare programs continue to consume a larger portion of federal tax receipts and will soon go bankrupt. The federal income tax code is an unfair burden on every taxpayer, yet few Republicans have joined the march to replace the code with a consumption tax. Our energy prices remain largely at the mercy of Middle East sheiks and South American madmen, yet our political leaders lack the will to authorize consumption of our own abundant oil and natural gas resources.
Now that Democrats have seized control of the House, and possibly the Senate, the president is poised to deliver the knockout blow to conservative voters, the conservative movement and the very Constitution itself. In a most bitter twist of irony, Democratic control of Congress would finally allow Bush to enact his amnesty scheme for the tens of millions of illegal aliens within our borders. Amnesty for illegal aliens is not compassionate, nor is it conservative. It is unconstitutional.
Compassionate conservatism failed America and cost Republicans control. Bush's guiding philosophy attempted to co-opt the liberal Democratic strategy of campaign to the right, and govern from the middle. To accomplish that feat one must pander to all interest groups, and hope the traditional base stays home on Election Day. If you recall, Bush's predecessor in the White House utilized the exact same strategy. He called it triangulation.
Conservative voters do not support moderate policy solutions, and they reject moderate Republicans who masquerade as conservative voices. Soon after Fox News declared Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Casey, Jr. the victor over Republican Senator Rick Santorum, Fox election analysts called Santorum a "compassionate conservative" who looks for government solutions to issues. Republican In Name Only senators Mike DeWine (R-OH) and Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) were similarly ousted in the Tuesday Night Massacre. Moderate to conservative-leaning Democrats also replaced many Republican House members.
Republican candidates lose when the party apparatus, whose goal is to win elections, abandons the conservative base, whose goal is conservative policy solutions. Just two years ago Bush and Santorum unconscionably endorsed liberal Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA), who was in a primary race with conservative Congressman Pat Toomey. Specter won the primary, but Santorum ultimately paid the price. In this year's Rhode Island Republican Senate primary, the RNC openly supported liberal Senator Lincoln Chafee against his more conservative opponent, Steve Laffey. Sen. Chafee is one of the most liberal members of the Senate and refused to vote for President Bush in 2004, writing in the president's father instead, yet the RNC still paid for ads in his primary race. Rhode Island voters were not likely to nominate or elect a conservative, but the RNC's actions were heard across the fruited conservative plain. Tap the brakes, Karl Rove and Ken Mehlman. You're not king makers.
Compassionate conservatism completely betrayed conservative voters and their decades of grassroots activism. Fortunately, all is not lost for the true conservative movement. Every House and Senate seat lost this year is an opportunity for conservatives to re-educate the public on true conservative policy solutions. The coming Republican presidential primary offers a similar chance for renewal and the possible emergence of a genuine successor to Ronald Reagan.
No voter turnout machine put in motion over a three-day pre-election period could have overcome this slap in the face to the Republican Party's base. Undoing compassionate conservatism's wreckage will take years, not 72 hours.
Conservatism IS Compassion!
But it won for the Democrats.
Looking back, it's hard to believe that in 1994, the newly elected GOP Congress, actually, for a brief time, contemplated DISMANTLING the Dept of Education....just eliminating it...6 years later...
Well said.
find a snitch to explain how the dims programmed the votes to have them victors would be a better idea.
We can hope, but we need a leader.
Will the Dems tie it to elimination of some Bush tax cuts, causing GWB to repeat GHWB's blunder??
Can we bring back Dispassionate Conservatism now?
Seems to me what really allowed the Democrats to win (at least in the Senate) was that the candidates they put up against the Republican incumbent claimed to be "conservative"...i.e. pro-life, pro-gun, like Casey in PA.
Whether or not those elected Senators stick to their
stated ideals once in Congress (which is something I doubt), will be another story.
Those kind of Republicans (i.e. the Republicans that could win in Democratic strongholds because they're so liberal) have always proved a bane to the Republican majorities.
Will the same thing happen with the newly elected "conservative" Dems...will they be a "thorn" in the side of Pelosi? Time will tell.
This country could use a little less compassion and a whole lot more conservatism from this administration.
And .. not soon enough to suit me.
Compassion has it's place - but it's NOT IN POLITICS. If you're not in it to WIN - then get the hell out. This constant cow-towing to the other side is what caused the base to stay home.
To hell with compassion. This is war.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
We need a real spiritual revival. Otherwise, no point to life. I mean if you live for a few years, than your dead forever, what was your purpose in living, just struggling with all the evil in this world. America needs Christ back in everything, so we can all rejoice together in our eternal future. We must keep praying until God answers our prayers, and literally changes the atmosphere from depression and despair to love, joy, and REAL peace.
Dang....the piling on is pitiful.
All of the things in this article was KNOWN in 2003...Bush was reelected in 2004.
"Compassionate conservatism is the theory that the government should encourage the effective provision of social services without providing the service itself."
And THAT is exactly what America was.....until LBJ and the other "Great Society" socialists took over the role of charity from churches and other charitable agencies to make providing these goods, funds, and services a responsibility of the gummint and the taxpayer.
110% correct. Think i will copy and paste this and send to a few Republican groups.
"Conservatism IS Compassion!"
If you want to be that way, fund it with your money, not mine!
Compasonate Conservative is just a fancy way of saying i'm a socialist!
And his majority was?
Even in 2003, staunch conservatives were complaining to the Republican PTB, and warning what would happen. Apparently in their "compassionate arrogance," they didn't listen. Unlike Dummies, the Republican base won't just vote for anyone with an R after his name. They expect their representative to vote like Republicans, not Demo-lites.
Did you forget that he ran against John Kerry? Hell, even Clinton won when he was offered up Bob Dole.
A conservative meets a homeless alcholic on the street who asks him for a dollar; he yells a few obsentities at the man for being a bum and a drunk then passes him by, ignoring the principles of the Christianity he wears on his sleeve.
A liberal meets the same man, grabs him against his will, stuffs him in his vehicle and takes him to a AA shelter which is supported by tax dollars (none of which the drunk wants) then forgets about him and tells himself he's done a good deed. Suffering from the DTs, the drunk later dies.
A libertarian meets the man and gives him a dollar to help buy a bottle of Thunderbird.
And that's why people like me did not vote for Bush in '04. I figured he'd be a sell-out. I voted straight R this time because I can't stand Granholm and Stabenow and wanted the MI legislature to remain Republican. They actually passed a CCW law, castle doctrine and partial-birth abortion ban (the Canadian Bitch vetoed he last one there).
We need more than that we need concrete positions on the messy issues...not just platitudes. Sure we agree that lower taxes are important and reduced Gov't spending...What about Iraq & the War on Terror? Social Security? Health care costs? This mythic LEADER must vocalize positions on these issues that make people want to vote for conservatives - not simply against the socialistic practices of the Democrats.
The Republicans in the House and Senate didn't HAVE to be a 'compassionate' Conservative.
They could have sent bills with less spending...they could have voted down some of the bills...
But, they didn't, did they??
Maybe THEY have something to do with their own downfall...right?
We have no one to blame but ourselves. We had a great opportunity to formulate a reasonable immigration reform package, but the House stood firm in the face of dozens of polls showing Americans wanted comprehensive immigration reform...and wanted some type of path to citizenship for those already here. We blew it!
Instead we concentrated on pathetic attempts to amend the Constitution for social issues, arguing against evolution across the country, and refusing any compromise on stem cell research. Add to that the ridiculous display by Congress to step into state business during the Terri Schiavo fiasco, while forgetting entirely what a Republican congress should be doing to hold back the growth of government while ignoring comprehensive energy legislation, and it's no wonder some ask where the leadership was.
On a side note, I'm still waiting to hear from Michael Moore. (Not that I look forward to it.)
Okay...then you can complain...you didn't vote for him
Those that did, KNEW that he was for a comprehensive immigration policy...and yet haven't quit griping that he wants one, for over 2 years!!! DUH!!
Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner. In many cases I remember Bush having trouble because Conressional Republicans were too much with the Democrats (Gang of 14 anyone?)
Well in the words of Ronald Reagan..."there you go again". Lots of NEVERs in those statements. I think Ronald would have had a more positive and hopeful message.
I didn't write this, but I sure subscribe to it......I first learned from Mark Scott the term "cosmetic conservative" 15 yrs ago when he was on WXYT radio, and went searching for uses of the phrase when I read this thread.
"Our Republical leadership are becoming too closely tied with Corporate America and the rich and powerful. If historic additions to the national debt by the party in power are an indication of a partys conservatism, then both parties are liberal and the Republicans are by far the most liberal.
Many voters today are cosmetic conservatives (CosCons) because they have forgotten or are unaware of key points of history. They are asking the wrong questions and coming up with the wrong answers. Politics is the main stream of history. It follows that political judgments demand historical knowledge. The conservative leaders of this nation have fabricated their political position from two big lies.
In Mein Kampf, Adolph Hitler said that plausible untruths were one of the best tools for obtaining political power. Enough repetition of a slogan would instill it as truth in common man to the point that, when confronted with incontrovertible disproof, the disproof would be doubted. Thus we have inalienable political fabrications.
The first of the two lies is that our conservative leadership wants a smaller, more efficient government. A politicians fiscal conservatism is unsustainable over time and becomes liberal because of career motivated public spending. Campaign contribution quid pro quo inevitably produces legislation specifically benefiting the rich and powerful to the detriment of the public interest.
The second lie is that the great burden of taxation on our middle class is the responsibility of the liberal governments of the past. The recent increases in this burden can be laid directly to the enactment of Reagans supply-side tax reforms. Those reforms shifted the tax burden down the social scale while adding income share to the top 20% of American households concurrently lowering the share of the lower 80%. This is a dangerous concentration of wealth. Many conservatives will continue to doubt that these are lies, in spite of the arguments above. They are inalienable political fabrications"
The White House support of Arlen Specter and Chaffee and refusing to support Kathraine Harris was WORSE than NCLB OR the Drug plan!! Just showed raw politics with NO integrity!! Good riddance to Karl Rove and Ken Mehlman and George Bush.
all we can offer is freedom. getting in a spending contest with democrats is like getting in a drinking contest with Ted Kennedy-you'll lose every time.
I remember Bush Sr being asked why it was he thought he lost his bid for a second term., his answer struck me as a little wierd.
Well I 'spose I could have used another quart or two of Ronald Reagan ....Paraphrased.
Where that's true of his Dad, it goes double for dubya.
While going in too soft in the "War on Terror", his credibility is completetly shot by the flood of crimaliens flooding our border.
Hows that Latino vote workin' for the Stupid Party ?
The Government was moving faster than was portrayed. They had a lot of past to shed off their backs and learn how a democracy works. Look how long it took for us to establish a sound democratic form of government and compare it to the Iraqi.
One thing about the left RATS, they spent all those Bush years learning how to enhance their spin mythology. We are in trouble in 2008 and beyond because of the third party sucking votes that could be ours and RATS taking credit where they have not earned anything. If that is not corruption at its finest then I don't know the ultimate corruption.
I was in Pittsburgh a week before the election. I don't recall seeing or hearing about Arlen Spector out campaigning for Santorum. I'm enjoying the delicious irony that Spector lost his chairmanship of the Judiciary committee due to Santorum's loss.
"We have no one to blame but ourselves. We had a great opportunity to formulate a reasonable immigration reform package, but the House stood firm in the face of dozens of polls showing Americans wanted comprehensive immigration reform...and wanted some type of path to citizenship for those already here. We blew it!"
That is absolutely false. The idea has always been, build a wall FIRST and prove sincerity about controlling borders, THEN work on dealing with those here. Don't try and pin the Troglodyte label on anti-ILLEGAL immigrant conservatives, it just doesn't fly.
Not true, the libertarian offers him a job. If he takes it, voluntarily works 80 hours/week when he gets paid for 40, asks for help getting into school, the libertarian helps; if he doesn't take the job, or doesn't care about himself, the libertarian lets him starve.
Ditto Mrs. Irey in PA.
And be able to explain to the voters why this position is the right course, economically and socially.
And as for Compassionate Conservatism, you are exactly right. That plus the Iraqi misinformation by the MSM and RATS did us in. Going to be a hard road to overcome in 2008, but if we get off our collective a@@es, just could be done. Remember, we have laid the ground work and the RATS will take credit by not doing much to upset it for the next 2 years.
Sorry for the Iraqi post on this topic. Forgot where I was.
So what are we doing to retain those votes or win them back? The core agenda of the Libertarians (constrained government both fiscally and socially), and the Constitution Party (constitutionally constrained government), both lobby for the same thing: smaller govenment, less spending, lower taxes, less federal intervention in issues of the states and local government(education).
The message is clear: If you want those votes, then act like the conservative Republicans that you claim to be!
Yup, don't disagree, the point is that he had the choice...

"I bought this shoes for my husband, he loves them and wears them to work every single day! As a gym manager, he has to wear sporty cloth and needs to wear comfortable shoes since he is in his feet for long periods of time. Just be aware that they run larger, we actually returned the first 11.5 pair, they fit him too loose. The 11.0 fit perfectly. Plus the shoes have a cool look! They also make him taller!"

This was a pretty awesome chapter though, and gildarts is crazy mad it looks like his head is about to bust open
I think Gildratz as a sacrificial character does not have enough of an impact since he is not that well established and to be honest its effect will really mostly be on a secondary character. If Cana becomes a main character or at least more of a protagonist then it makes sense.
Also I've been thinking that the best way to explain the loss of dragons would be if they were turned into something else. taking years to reconcile what they are and once were would actually make sense.
In other words, think the kid could be a dragon turned human. Would explain how he also has a scarf reminiscent of Natsu's.
Great chapter anyways. So Gildartz specializes in things having to do with the earth, while Bluenote specializes in gravity?
Good fight although I see no reason Bluenote should be that overpowered without even a counterattack?
yeah i think the same thing. i do not think the idea of gildartz dieing is a good one right now. i mean like you said he is not that emotionally attached to fans. i mean i think that he has more left to give to the story. can cana crying could also be gildartz excepting her but idk. i just hope he does not die. but again i am SO happy with freids and bixlows performance in this chapter. they really showed what they are made of this chapter.
loved blue note's "D:"-face after being overpowered.
bixlow was sweet and fried's absolute shadow-armore is awesome xD
& just when things start to get heated up we get a fashback... o.o
founder of fairy-tail? perhaps...
but the future-idea isn't a 100% stupid either:
-'Carrying the spirit of fairy-tail on his back'
-Nautsu's clothing / tattoo
(just saying)
Now that someone mentioned about dragonball, thinking about the last panel kinda made me feel a bit dragonballish... like the kid coming from a future which Grimoire heart succeeded in accomplishing their plans... so he goes back in time to change things... He kinda looks like a cross between Grey and Urtear...
Is the last panel a flashback or what?
Probably the next chapter will also explain how come Zeref knows Natsu.
AWESOME chapter.
Best part was how Fried and Bixlow got into the fight.
Gildarts is gonna go super saiyan, you can just see it in the drawings.
also did any one else notice that erza is using an armor that we have not seen yet.

Fight between two men results in death
21 year old Gage Rogers appeared before a Yakima County Court judge this afternoon.
Rogers was arrested last night after a fight led to the death of 45 year old Eric Taylor.
Maria Baez lives just down the street from where the homicide took place, and was speechless when she heard the news.
"There's too much hate, too much, there's no love," said Baez, "People are being raised with so much anger."
Police say it happened on the 1100 block of Cherry Avenue just before 10:30 p.m.
According to arrest documents, Rogers had gotten into a fight with Taylor, in the basement of a home, knocking him unconscious and repeatedly kicking him in the head and chest.
Witnesses were able to hold Rogers down until police arrived.
Taylor was taken to the hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Police say they respond to a number of domestic violence calls on a weekly basis, they say this call was a little unusual because it was a male to male, and not a male to female, and because it was fatal.
Police were told Rogers and Taylor tend to get into fights whenever they are drinking, which was apparently the case in this homicide.
"There may be a history of when they drink too much together, they fight," said Captain Rod Light, "Obviously it's a similar scenario last night, unfortunately, it just had a bad ending this time."
"I'm sure that when this person woke up the next day, if he was under any types of drugs or alcohol, he probably thought 'oh shoot, what did I do?,' " Maria Baez.
A judge set Rogers bail at one million dollars, he will be arraigned in two weeks.

Detailed Description:
Neurological complications from cardiac surgery are an important source of operative mortality, prolonged hospitalization, health care expenditure, and impaired quality of life. New strategies of care are needed to avoid rising complications for the growing number of aged patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This study will evaluate novel methods for reducing brain injury during surgery from inadequate brain blood flow using techniques that could be widely employed.

Detailed Description:
Brain injury during cardiac surgery results primarily from cerebral embolism and/or reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF). The latter is of particular concern for the growing number of surgical patients who are aged and/or who have cerebral vascular disease. Normally, CBF is physiologically autoregulated (or kept constant) within a range of blood pressures allowing for stable cerebral O2 supply commensurate with metabolic demands. Cerebral autoregulation is impaired in patients undergoing cardiac surgery who have cerebral vascular disease and in many others due to other conditions. This could lead to brain injury since current practices of targeting low mean arterial blood pressure empirically (usually 50-70 mmHg) during cardiopulmonary bypass may expose patients with impaired cerebral autoregulation to cerebral hypoperfusion. The hypothesis of this proposal is that targeting mean arterial pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass to a level above an individual's lower autoregulatory threshold reduces the risk for brain injury in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Monitoring of cerebral autoregulation will be performed in real time using software that continuously compares the relation between arterial blood pressure and CBF velocity of the middle cerebral artery measured with transcranial Doppler and with cerebral oximetry measured with near infrared spectroscopy. The primary end-point of the study will be a comprehensive composite outcome of clinical stroke, cognitive decline, and/or new ischemic brain lesions detected with diffusion weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Autoregulation is mediated by reactivity of cerebral resistance vessels. A secondary aim of this proposal is to evaluate whether near infrared reflectance spectroscopy can be used to trend changes in cerebral blood volume and provide a reliable monitor of vascular reactivity (the hemoglobin volume index). Assessments for extra-cranial and intra-cranial arterial stenosis will be performed using MR angiography to control for this potential confounding variable in the analysis. Finally, an additional aim of the study will be to assess whether preoperative transcranial Doppler examination of major cerebral arteries can identify patients who are prone to the composite neurological end-point. Near infrared oximetry is non-invasive, continuous, requires little care-giver intervention and, thus, could be widely used to individualize patient blood pressure management during surgery. Brain injury from cardiac surgery is an important source of operative mortality, prolonged hospitalization, increased health care expenditure, and impaired quality of life. Developing strategies to reduce the burden of this complication has wide public health implications.

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Chrome Diopside:
Chrome diopside, also called Russian diopside, offers an intense forest green color. Because it is the most affordable gemstone with a pure, rich green color, many jewelry designers predict chrome diopside will be the world's leading emerald substitute by the end of the decade. It is mostly available in smaller sizes, with the rare larger sizes becoming much more expensive and too dark. A 26.17ct oval cut chrome diopside may be the largest known example of the faceted stone, but there is also a 25.33ct stone that is brighter and more intense in color.
Chrome diopside is relatively soft, with a hardness of 5.5 on the Mohs Scale. Mostly mined in Yakutia and Siberia, the liberalization of the former Soviet Union's economy has made chrome diopside more available, and more popular, than ever before.

Doug Melvin's five greatest trades
by Radio Joe
posted Aug 1 2012 3:51PM
After a ton of buzz from my previous blog on the worst five trades made by Doug Melvin, I figured it was time to honor Doug for some of his greatest moves as GM. Here was some of the hype from people on Facebook in regards to my five worst trades.
Eric writes, "If this is as bad as it gets, I hope that Doug Melvin stays in Milwaukee for several years!"
Joshua says, " Terrible topic. He's done more good than bad…unless you loved LaPorta and Cruz, who are pretty much done and passed through waivers multiple times before being picked up."
Sam writes, "I guess 3,4, and 5 have to be there to have a top 5 list, but if those are in your top worst list, you aren't doing bad as a GM."
Kurt complains, "Instead of writing blogs, Joe should work on his updates. Getting them right."
You're right, Kurt. I have a lot to improve on my updates. It's not as easy as it sounds. Luckily, I'm done with school, so I have more time to work on updates and blogs!
Without further ado, here are Doug Melvin's five greatest trades to date according to Radio Joe. Let the debate begin!
5. Brewers acquire Closer Francisco Rodriguez from the Mets for pitchers Adrian Rosario and Daniel Ray Herrera.
This was a tough choice. There were so many smaller trades that paid off in big ways between 2008 and 2011. I was also leaning towards the move for Jerry Hairston Jr. or the Nyjer Morgan deal. You guys may say differently. By bringing in K-Rod, it was an insurance policy for John Axford. As we all know, Axford was explosive in 2011. Some believed, including yours truly, that Axford was due for some blow-ups. Oddly enough, it never happened (until Game 5 of the NLDS). Although K-Rod was upset not to be the teams dominant closer, he was near perfect as the setup man. Most baseball analysts would agree that K-Rod and Axford were the best one-two punch in the back end of the bullpen last season. With strong outings from your starters, you knew as a fan that K-Rod and Axford were going to hold the fort down in the end. Furthermore, what have Rosario or Herrera done for the Mets?
I know people hate K-Rod now. I don't need to get into that. However, he was just another piece of the puzzle from last year's extraordinary postseason run. That trade has to be documented as a successful one.
4. Brewers trade 1B Richie Sexson, P Shane Nance, INF/OF Noochie Varner to the D-Backs for SS Craig Counsell, 2B Junior Spivey, 1B Lyle Overbay, C Chad Moeller, and pitchers Chris Capuano and Jorge De La Rosa.
This was Doug Melvin's first blockbuster trade as GM for the Brewers. While the deal did not put the Brewers into the postseason, Doug acquired six decent players with six decent careers in Milwaukee and beyond. That trade allowed him to fill a bunch of holes in that ugly infield. Plus, the D-Backs ran into some bad luck when Sexson got injured early on in the season. Sexson was never the same after that injury. Kudos to Doug! He dealt Sexson at his highest stock and prevailed with some fan favorites (Counsell, Overbay, and even Capuano).
It's very difficult for me to rank who was the best player in the deal – I'll leave it up to you. I can say this at least – it wasn't Chad Moeller (hitting for the cycle doesn't count).
3. Brewers acquire SP Shaun Marcum from the Blue Jays in exchange for 2B/3B Brett Lawrie.
I don't care what your opinion is about Shaun Marcum. He was the best pitcher in the Brewers rotation for about 75% of the 2011 season. Yes, he pitched horrendous in the postseason, but if it wasn't for him, we would not be in the postseason. That's a fact. This year has was going well for Marcum (3.39 ERA in 13 starts this season), until his elbow injury.
Think about this – Marcum is losing money every single day because of that elbow. His value to teams around the MLB is plummeting. This gives the Brewers the upper hand to resign him. Besides, after going through Tommy John surgery back in 2009, Marcum followed with a great season in 2010 for Toronto. In my opinion, I would have no problem resigning him this offseason for the
price. I'm not sold on guys like Mike Fiers or Marco Estrada just yet.
As for Lawrie, I wish we called the guy up sooner to the Big Leagues. I agree with Tim Allen that Melvin and Co. spent too much time grooming him in the minors. This guy had star potential, and he was ready to prove it immediately in the major leagues. Toronto has a nice piece for the future (they just need to control his hot-temper). Would I make that trade again? Absolutely.
2. Brewers acquire SP Zack Greinke and SS Yuniesky Betancourt from the Royals for SS Alcides Escobar, CF Lorenzo Cain, RP Jeremy Jeffress, and SP Jake Odorizzi.
1. Brewers acquire SP CC Sabathia from the Indians for OF Matt LaPorta, OF Michael Brantley, and pitchers Rob Bryson and Zack Jackson.
Let the real debate begin!
First of all, who's the better pitcher? CC or Zack? It's CC in my opinion. Sabathia has better career numbers than Zack. He showed more consistency than Zack. He was flat out unstoppable for Milwaukee in his short time here. Meanwhile, Zack cracks a rib due to basketball, misses Spring Training, has a slow start for the first couple of months, but fortunately catches fire late in the season. As a fan, you knew every time Sabathia took the mound, it was going to be another game in the win column. CC Sabathia got this team to their first postseason since 1982. As for Doug Melvin, it was the first premier name he's brought to this city via trade. It was a signal to the rest of country that this team was ready to contend. While it didn't give us a World Series, it was a hell of a run…no question.
As for the prospects Doug departed with, it's obvious which package hurts us the most. Batting .307 with 4 HRs and 36 RBIs, Alcides Escobar is having his best season to date. Lorenzo Cain has been prone to injuries, but has shown positive signs in the Royals' offense as of late. He has a .269 average with 3 HRs and 15 RBIs in 78 at-bats. Jeremy Jeffress hasn't done a whole lot at the big league level for KC. Considered to be the crown jewel of the trade, pitching prospect Jake Odorizzi continues his dominance for Triple-A Omaha. Odorizzi is 8-1 with a 3.09 ERA in 12 starts for Omaha. He's going to be stud in that organization. Ned Yost should be proud – "Jake pitched great!" or "Odor pitched great!"
Examining the Sabathia deal, the results are good on our end. Matt LaPorta has made numerous trips between Triple-A and the Majors. Bryson and Jackson never panned out. The only guy that could have been worth losing was Michael Brantley. Brantley bats .291 with 4 HRs and 46 RBIs. How many Michael Brantley fans are there? I rest my case.
Honorable mentions in no particular order:
Brewers acquire OF Nyjer Morgan from the Nationals for 3B Cutter Dykstra.
Brewers acquire OF Carlos Lee from the White Sox for OF Scott Podsednik, RP Luis Vizcaino, and 1B Travis Hinton.
Brewers trade OF Erik Komatsu to the Nationals for INF/OF Jerry Hairston Jr.
Brewers acquire RP Solomon Torres from the Pirates for pitchers Kevin Roberts and Marino Salas.
Brewers trade OF Darren Ford and pitcher Steve Hammond to the Giants for switch-hitting 2B Ray Durham.
Brewers trade Enrique Cruz and cash to the Rangers for RP Brian Shouse (perhaps the most underrated trade by any means). Shouse was one of the best left-handed specialists I've seen play for the Brewers in my lifetime. I could be wrong, though.

The MSVCR70.DLL is a Windows-based file that is called upon by your computer to run certain programs that were written using the C++ Standard Library. Specifically, the MSVCR70.DLL is a file that is required when running a program that uses Visual Studio C++ 2010. If the file is missing then you will receive some type of error message. To learn more about DLL files in general see my post What Are DLL Errors?
Common MSVCR70.DLL Error Messages
There are a variety of ways that MSVCR70.DLL errors can may appear on your computer. Some of the most common types are highlighted below. Computer Technician's Note: These error messages typically pop-up in a Windows Dialogue box.
- "Windows errors related to msvcr70"
- "Msvcr70.dll not found"
- "Runtime error: msvcr70.dll not found. Please re-install application."
- "File msvcr70.dll is missing"
- "Cannot start application because msvcr70.dll is missing."
These common MSVCR70.DLL error messages typically show up when Windows starts up, shuts down and even sometimes during a Windows program installation. You should ensure that these error messages get fixed immediately or you may risk further damage to your computer system.
The MSVCR70.DLL error is commonly found on Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. To see other common types of DLL errors see my post on 12 Common Types of DLL Errors and Fixes.
Common Cause of a Missing MSVCR70.DLL File
MSVCR70.DLL errors are generally caused by situations where the file has been removed and/or deleted and could result in a corrupted computer. Under normal circumstances, a missing MSVCR70.DLL file can suggest registry issues, a possible virus or malware/spyware issue, or even sometimes a possible hardware failure situation (for example, a corrupt sector on your hard drive).
How To Fix And Repair MSVCR70.DLL Errors?
There are a number of ways that you can fix and repair common MSVCR70.DLL errors. Listed below are some suggested tips to solve this issue quickly.
Install and Run a Registry Cleaner
Depending on your technical ability you might want to first try this option as it requires very little technical skill. A good registry cleaner will scan your computer system for missing DLL files and will repair missing files and system conflicts that are preventing your computer from operating efficiently.
All of our computer technicians agree that this is our #1 Recommended Free Registry Cleaner scan:
To use the Registry Cleaner correctly, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Download & Install – Download the program to your computer and install it.
Step 2: Scan Your System – Let the program scan your Windows system for errors.
Run a Virus / Malware Scan of Your System
If you have a virus and malware software installed on your computer, you should run a virus scan to ensure that a virus has not infected your MSVCR70.DLL file. A good virus scan program should detect this.
If you don't have a virus program installed on your computer, you can download one here.
Use the Recycle Bin to Restore the MSVCR70.DLL File
In some situations, the MSVCR70.DLL file may have accidentally been deleted. If so, you can retrieve the missing file from your Windows Recycle Bin by searching for the file there.
Re-install the Program Causing the MSVCR70.DLL Error
If the MSVCR70.DLL error is appearing while you are installing a particular program, you should try to re-install that program onto your computer. If that fails, try a registry cleaner to correct this problem.
Download the Missing MSVCR70.DLL File
If you continue to be missing the MSVCR70.DLL file, you could download the file from the internet and place it into the proper Windows directory file. You should use extreme caution if using this method as you may not know if the file can be trusted. In addition, you need to have some technical skill and knowledge in order to know where to place the MSVCR70.DLL file. Doing this incorrectly could result in additional computer issues.
Update the Drivers for a Particular Device
One reason you may be experiencing the MSVCR70 error could be related to running a certain device on your computer. If, for example, you are trying to play a video game, you may need to update your video driver, so take a moment to update your drivers using the Windows Control Panel.
Conduct a System Restore or Rollback
If you suspect that the cause of your MSVCR70 error is from a recent change made to your computer system, you should perform a system restore or rollback to a previous version of your system where the configuration was functioning properly.
Repair Any Windows Installations
If any of the above troubleshooting suggestions fail, then you should consider performing a Windows start-up repair to ensure that you restore all necessary DLL files.
To avoid many of the problems listed above, it is important that you keep your computer running smoothly. One way of doing this is to ensure that you have the latest files for Windows installed on your computer. You will also want to ensure that your computer is running free of any registry errors which can slow down your system.
It is therefore very important that you run periodic registry scans on your computer system to clean your computer from potential errors and to remove corrupt files.

How horrid is this??? "Time-out" at school...Tags: None
Wow. How sad. How about calling the parents when no other measures have worked?

As the mom of two special needs kids, I have done a lot of research into things like this and it is truly horrible. Physical restraints are commonly used in some areas on preschoolers. It is just heartbreaking.
That is horrible, and inexcusable that a child should come to harm. I wonder if he was alone because he was a danger even to an adult being in the room with him? In that case they should have a totally safe, padded room, and someone should have had their eyes on him the whole time. Someone mentioned calling parents to get him. I wonder if that was feasible, or what the policy is on that. If he was in a special school that means his behavior was really difficult to begin with. He probably was totally out of control at times but it was the school's job to handle it. Otherwise the kid might get sent home all the time. This is so sad. There's got to be a better way. I wonder what it could be. I know there are alternative schools in our area where the kids education is presented in a non-traditional way such as working on an interesting project, like building a boat. I don't know much about it but I am guessing the teachers and the project are inspiring and the kids feel less threatened and more confident because they are out of the classroom setting. I imagine the same principles of empowering the child that can help during toddlerhood could be applied somehow in special schools. I am sure that a lot of educators are at a loss for what to do with out of control students and it would be great if teacher-education and inservice training were better.

Why do the parents bother using the school and why they allow it.
If that was my choice I would just say, no thank you, this is abusive and leave. No way would I put my child or any other in a situation like that, not matter

Prize Swede: winning a contract with the Swedish champions by Aaron› 31 Jul 2013
Many of us will have dreamed of being plucked from obscurity to play football on the biggest stage, but unfortunately that tends to be as far as it goes. For 18 year-old Tobias Sandström however, it's a bit different. Thanks to a TV show in his native Sweden called 'Proffsdroemmen', he's now playing for Elfsborg, one of the country's top clubs, who face Celtic in a Champions League qualifier tonight.
Tobias was one of hundreds of hopefuls who entered the competition earlier this year to win a year's contract in the under-21 squad with Elfsborg, the current Swedish champions and a stern test for the Scottish giants in tonight's first leg. After weeks of games, tests and trials, Tobias was announced as the winner of Proffsdroemmen and recently moved from his home in the north of Sweden to join up with his new Elfsborg teammates (check out his first training session captured on TV here). We spoke to the young flying winger about the competition, his ambitions and his thoughts on the big game against Celtic - here's what he had to say...
How did you first hear about the Proffsdroemmen competition?
'I was on the internet just looking at a football news website here in Sweden, and I saw an article all about it, saying that you could win a pro contract with Elfsborg, so I was immediately interested. Then some of my friends said I should definitely go for it, so I decided to go ahead and enter.'
Who were you playing for at the time?
'I was playing in the third division here in Sweden for Sandviks IK, I'd been playing for the first team there since I was 14. Earlier this year I was actually on trial at
Stevenage in League One over in England. I'd been there a few times, and they
wanted me to sign a youth contract, but they didn't have the setup in place at
the time, so I would have to wait until they got that set up, and I wasn't sure
when that might be. But now I have a contract with Elfsborg, and I think
they're a better club for me.'
'We had two English players at Sandviks, and their agent came over to see them.
While he was over he saw me play and I got talking to him, and he arranged for
me to come over for a trial to England.'
So once you'd entered the competition, what did it involve?
'There were trials in four different cities in different
parts of Sweden, and anyone could apply to come along. Then, they took five
people from each place, chosen by a jury of trainers from Elfsborg who watched
us play 5-a-side, in training and all that. Then, we were invited to go on a
week-long camp near Elfsborg, where we played against other teams, we had
training and lots of tests of our skills.
Almost every day you had to go up in front of the jury, they'd judge how you'd done that day and then decide whether you could stay or if you had to go home. After the first week, there were only 8 of us left.
We then went back for another camp a few weeks later, and that was where the winner was to be decided. So we went through more matches and training until there was only five of us, and then we took part in competitions that tested all the aspects of our play, such as speed, passing, physical strength. I came out with the best scores, so I was announced as the winner.'
Were you nervous at the start of the competition?
'Of course, it's my dream to get a pro contract with a football club. But I'm quite a confident person, I have a lot of belief in myself, so from the start of the competition I thought that I would win. I know that some of the jury thought that I was one of the best from the start, you don't want to believe it too much in case you are disappointed, but as the competition went on I did get more confident. When the result was announced, I'd never been more happy in my life, to be honest. It felt so good to win.'
Now that you've won the competition, what has been the biggest change?
'It's around 1000 kilometres from where I was living, in the north of Sweden, to Elfsborg, which is right down in the south. I've only been here four days so far, so I haven't been able to miss home too much. To be honest, this is my chance to make it, so I've got to take it and I've got to be willing to make sacrifices along the way.'
Do you feel extra pressure on yourself because of the TV show?
'Yeah, I love the attention I get from being a pro now, I'm really enjoying it. Of course, there's pressure on me now because everyone is watching me, but to be honest I like it because it makes you perform every time.'
What's your ambition for your year at the club?
'First of all, I want to do well in the U21s team and to be the top player there, and then of course I want to train with the first team. But I'm going to take one step at a time, and I have to make that impression with the U21s.'
How would you describe yourself as a player?
'I'm a left-winger, but right-footed, I'm very quick and I like to dribble with the ball, being unpredictable, so I'd say I'm a lot like Neymar. Growing up I always admired Ronaldo, and over the last couple of years watching Neymar on YouTube, I really like his style of playing and I'd like to say that I play like him.'
As part of your prize for winning the show you also get an Umbro boot contract. What do you think of them so far?
'Yeah, I'm wearing the GT II boots, I'm really enjoying them, they're really comfortable, they feel very quick and lightweight. And they stand out on the pitch with the colours as well, so I like that!'
Tonight is the first leg of the game against Celtic - what's the atmosphere like at Elfsborg?
"It feels like everyone is really excited, it's a really big
club to be playing. Everyone has a lot of respect for Celtic, but also they should
have a lot of respect for us because we have a really good team. It feels like
it could go either way, both teams have good players, Celtic have just lost a
big player in Gary Hooper though, so I think that Elfsborg can beat them.'
Thanks to Tobias for taking the time to speak to us - we'll be checking in with him later in the season to see how his Elfsborg experience is going along. You can see the moment when he was announced as the winner of Proffsdroemmen in this video - again, you'll need to speak Swedish to tell what's going on!
