Imagine the scene ... you are leash walking your dog on a quiet street, no one else is around, when all of a sudden, a snarling dog comes running out of nowhere straight at you, and is fixing on your poor, dear Fido. Although terrible, this is actually not that uncommon, dogs unlatch gates, or people forget to turn on the electric fence or dogs just run out of the door when no one is looking.
The streets seem to be full of dogs that aren't under close control, and of course there is always the chance that one of them might be aggressive. What to do? Well, as the old wives tale goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so my best advice to you is to get tooled up, ready for an onslaught, in case it should happen.
Being prepared means you will automatically have more confidence, and dogs take far more notice of anyone with confidence. I carry a bear spray with me when I go out into the great blue yonder with my dogs. I have never had to use it, but I have been faced more times than I can count with a small pack of coyotes, and the confidence of having that bear spray in my fanny pack was worth a million bucks. Each time, I felt like Zena Warrior Princess, ready to take on the world, and drew myself to my tallest height, squared out my shoulders and owned every inch of the sky in that moment. The intent and the energy about me must have been terrifying because they all looked at each other and ran off quickly. One can only get such strength from being prepared and thus being confident.
The second thing I recommend is to carry a tennis racquet. This is not to beat balls into any oncoming dogs (my aim would never be good enough anyway!), but to use as a blocking tool. We use a tennis racquet quite a lot at the ranch when we need to grant space to a dog who feels threatened by space invader dogs. We had a young red nose pit bull, Hudson, here for rehab a short while ago, who was very threatened by the closeness of strange dogs -- his comfort level was about six feet at first. We used the tennis racquet to slow down and eventually block the approach of the "space invader" while Hudson got gradually more comfortable with the nearness of strangers. The humble tennis racquet is great because it is big -- an effective visual block and makes your arm 18 inches longer, so you own more space. We never, ever touch the dogs with it, it isn't a weapon, just a blocking device. In a tense situation such as we are talking about, with your dog potentially being attacked, I would suggest you put your dog behind you, take a step towards the oncoming dog, draw yourself up to your full height height and block his approach with the tennis racquet, not touching him but claiming the space in front of him with it.
Most bullies back down when they realise a stronger character is in charge of the situation. Let's face it, if you are faced with a 75-pound dog who can run at 30 miles an hour, has huge gnashers and fancies your dog for his dinner, you can't outrun him or fight him -- the dog is going to win every time. So, you use your mental capacity, your will and your energy to outwit him, and then you back it up with these tools if the you-know-what hits the fan.
At the ranch I work hands on, off leash, with aggressive dogs every week and I always start from a point of mental superiority and claiming my space. I never bully, but I won't be bullied either. Taking one step forward and stopping isn't an intent to attack, it merely shows the dog that he must come no further and is a VERY powerful tool.
Another tool I recommend is an air horn, the small ones are pretty tiny and fit neatly into a pocket. California behaviourist and author Nicole Wilde recommended this to me years ago, knowing that I walk my dogs off leash on empty building land, and not two weeks after she did so, I came face to face with a pack of three coyotes who were eyeing my schnauzer mix, Noodle, from about 50 feet away. I called all my dogs to me, leashed them all, and then blew the airhorn as hard as I could. Two wonderful things happened -- the coyotes ran off and people started coming out of their houses to see what all the noise was! Had I been on my own in the midst of a dog attack, that alone would have been a life saver!
Lastly, remember that leash laws are here to protect us from irresponsible owners...if you are forced to protect yourself and your dog because someone didn't bother to control their dog, please don't feel guilty if you cause some damage. Your first duty of care is to protect your dog and yourself, explaining to someone why you felt you had to temporarily blind their dog is a whole lot easier than burying your own.

Thanks for posting this information Penny. I've had this happen more than once. The last time, an off-leash dog charged across the street towards me and Buddy. Buddy, thinking we were being attacked, tried to get between me and the dog. Even though I always walk him on a short leash, he managed to trip me up. I fell to the ground, hurt my hip and ended up with a couple of cuts from the leash. I was really upset by the whole thing and sore for days afterwards. The other dog, according to the owner, was "friendly." Well, when a dog comes charging across the street at you, it is hard to interpret that as friendly.

when you come across any land animal that goes "a hundred miles per hour", growling or not, capture it and train it to race (a liberal guess at the speed of a cheeth is only 80 mph) lol

This has happened to me a couple of times. Both times the dog off the leash was a small one. I have a big ole mean looking dog. For some reason even though it is the small dog that is off the leash and comes running at me, the owners seem surprised when my dog goes on offensive and I swear they think it must be my dogs fault as their dog was only being 'friendly'. Well my dog does not interpret too well. If he sees a dog running towards us he will try to protect me if he feels we are being threatened. There are leash laws for a reason!

As a Professional Predator Control Operator I can tell you if you are continually being threatened by coyotes, it is only a matter of time before they will take your dog. You are habituating them to yourself and your tactics. While initially they will flee and you will think you have "won" you are educating them to your tactics and they will become more and more comfortable with them. One day, they will just ignore you because they want your pet for food and this time of year, during their breeding season, they are the most aggressive. Your overconfidence is due to the fact that you do not know the animal. I deal with coyotes everyday. Each one that has been DNA tested in several Eastern states here possesses Canadian Wolf DNA. And I can tell you the problem will escalate. The ONLY solution is to trap and remove them out BEFORE they kill your pet or others. Many irresponsible owners dogs "disappear" each" year due to coyotes. They will kill any animal of opportunity to feed the 6-10 pups they have this time of year. They are Predators, they MUST KILL to Survive. Unfortunately, I catch many roaming dogs each year on my traplines that irresponsible owners let run free. It's not the dog's fault.
Do not be deceived, do not become overconfident, one day things will change.

Thanks Tim. I was wondering if you would weight in. I've often wondered what happens to coyote when neighborhood go up. I know that deer get displaced when that happens, so it stands to reasonthat the smae happens to coyote.

Tammy, coyotes will readily adapt to our intrusion into their territory. Many neighborhoods who see coyotes roaming thru do not realize that there is a high likelihood that there is a den nearby.

I agree that maybe we need to educate purselves more about the habits of coyotes but We need to look at the figures. It is very rare for a human to be attacked or killed by a coyote. When you compare the stats of domestic dog attacks it sort of puts it into perspective. I don't want to come up against a coyote at night but the facts are that I am more likely to get bitten by a neighbors chihuahua.....
10:19 am on Friday, February 8, 2013
There are numerous reasons that the Georgia Department of Natural Resources allows us to trap and euthanize coyotes year round. The carry numerous communicable diseases such as Rabies, Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus and Sarcoptic Mange just to name a few. Rabies can be transmitted to a human just by a scratch that breaks the skin. Fiona, you don't read the Government and University studies that I do on evolving coyote behavior and habituation to human interaction. As I stated above, as they become more habituated to human contact, they lose their innate "fear of man" and become more aggressive towards humans. You evidently didn't read the link I posted above concerning Coyote Attacks from all over the country and the world. We are now in the Coyotes Breeding Season and from now until September they will become more and more aggressive as they search for any food of opportunity to feed their pups. I am working under contract on one of the largest cattle farms in Walton county where I have set a nearly 2.75 mile perimeter of traps to catch coyotes before they get to the pastures and kill the newborn calves of this landowner. This is his livelihood. Coyotes show no mercy for they can smell the pheremones coming from the heifer's uterus and will shadow her for days until they know she is about to give birth, They will then move in as she is giving birth and actually eat the calf coming out of the canal. Very nice, huh? I have already taken 11 coyotes off of this farm.

Unfortunately, for humans etc, coyotes are never wiped out in an area. Add to that the fact that the Eastern Coyote has the genes from Wolves, and hunt cooperately (packs) and you can have a more dangerous situation. In most states, shooting them on sight and trapping them all year long is legal. We can only have a part in 'controlling' them.
Fiona Bagley
2:03 pm on Friday, February 8, 2013
I have read the government studies and unless you have access to some super duper secret ones not available to the general public we have the same info : ). I also looked at all of your links - why would you assume otherwise ? Not sure how the one about women in Canada being 'confronted' by wolves is relevant here but.... I understand we need to be careful, we need to protect our pets, we need to be aware of how this animal behaves. And yes, there will be times when an animal needs to be removed. But again I say to you, the chances are slim that any of us here reading this blog will ever be attacked by a coyote. My neighbor however was taken to the ground by a Golden Retriever in December and had to have tendons in her arm stitched - go figure.
I understand protecting a farmer and his livestock - I get all that. I however do not understand why some folks vilify the coyote and make it almost a beast of epic proportions. I really get the feeling that some folks would only be truly happy if the coyote was completely eliminated, I really hope that isn't the case..........
2:57 pm on Friday, February 8, 2013
IF you had read the studies as you say, you would know that since before the turn of the century until now, coyotes have cost sheep, cattle and horse farmers and ranchers millions of dollars each year in lost livestock not to mention the economic hardships to the various industries. They are also attacking and killing pets more and more. They are at the highest population level in history. He is not a beast of epic proportions, he is a beast of very substantial economic and financial destructive proportions. You're ability to foresee our future is amazing. But you cannot deny that the potential is there for an attack. The documented cases are there. How much time have you actually spent with the coyote, studying the animal, tracking him, seeing the damage he can do? How much time have you spent studying the journals and books of the best Professional Trappers in the United States, Canada and Austraila, talking with them on a daily basis on your FB page as I do? How much time have you spent working with the Georgia State DNR Professional Wildlife Biologist from our region as I have? Working together to provide suggestions to the DNR Board of Directors that will have a more effective impact on managing the coyote population? Have you paid to be trained out of state in Tennessee by one of their top ADC Trappers as I have? The answer is No. You pretend to have knowledge that you do not have. And I can see thru that.

I don't believe I once denigrated your profession or stated that there was not a reason to control coyotes so I am really unsure why you feel the need to use the tone you do. My replies were in no way an attack on what you do. The post I replied to concerned coyotes in an urban environment. I am pretty sure I did not ever mention anything negating the damage both economic and actual that these animals inflict upon farmers. That is a whole different issue.
I think I said.
1. We need to educate ourselves about coyotes
2. It is uncommon for coyotes to attack humans
3. There are considerably more dog attacks than coyote attacks.
Yep, that was pretty much it..............

I believe I was responsible for your misunderstanding of the issue at large here Tim. I bow to your immense knowledge about predators, however, in this case I was merely referring to my experience one day while out walking my dogs on some wasteland and what I did to solve a problem THAT DAY. While you obviously have strong feelings about coyotes, even you would probably find it a little over the top to go out and kill/trap every single one in case one decided to wander in to a subdivision. As you know, coyotes are naturally fearful creatures, as are wolves. Wolves are in danger of extinction due to mankinds overzealous protective nature.....as a wildlife expert you must know that all this does is upset the balance of nature. Predators come in all shapes and sizes, and in all honesty, I have had many more clients complain to me over the years about being confronted by off leash dogs in a neighborhood or stray dogs in their area than coyotes, which is what prompted me to write this article. There are unfortunately people who cannot be bothered to walk their dogs, or train them in good canine manners who just let their dogs run through the streets creating havoc with fearful dogs who were just out enjoying a nice evening stroll with their owner. I have dogs in my client list who were dreadfully attacked by such uncontrolled dogs and who, years later, still bear the psychological and physical scars. All of us, human and canine, are defined by our experiences.

Hi Penny- Tim may have been working with this statement in your article- "I have never had to use it, but I have been faced more times than I can count with a small pack of coyotes, and the confidence of having that bear spray in my fanny pack was worth a million bucks."
5:59 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Penny, I recently "surgically" removed two pet cat killing coyotes from a client's home property near Snellville. He was concerned about his 3 year old grandson being outside since the coyotes were crossing the back pasture during the day. It was a male and female pair that would come up directly behind the homes at night and yip and howl, upsetting the neighborhood while hunting for the pets. I removed those two and things calmed down and the killing stopped. His property is on a major travel way thru his property. A sewer trunk line that runs for miles thru the region. I told him he would always have coyotes due to his close proximity to this travel way. On this cattle farm however, it's all out war and I'm taking out every one I can. The Feds introduced wolves into Yellowstone Park and other states several years ago to control the elk herd and they have bred to such a point that they have decimated the elk and now many states have passed Wolf hunting and trapping seasons to reduce their populations. Dekalb county euthanized over 50, 000 domestic animals last year. As the domestic population must be managed and controlled, so must the wildlife population or nature will take over and disease will run rampant and cause them a slow, lingering, agonizing death. I am very learned and passionate about what I do. www.easternwolferscoyotetrappers.com
6:01 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Loose running dogs do present a major problem not only here but all over the world....and are becoming more so.
6:06 am on Saturday, February 9, 2013
Pet owners know the law. If I catch one on my line, I contact the county Animal Control to pick it up even if it has a collar with a tag. I am not going to the trouble to contact an irresponsible owner when I'm running my line under contract for a client. I also carry a .45ACP for personal protection. I caught an old feral bitch dog on the line at the Farm last year, no tag, pregnant, ribs showing. No telling how many calves she was killing. I expect to run across the rest of the pack every time I go over there.

You said, "As the domestic population must be managed and controlled, so must the wildlife population or nature will take over and disease will run rampant and cause them a slow, lingering, agonizing death. I am very learned and passionate about what I do."

Selectively selling some of those assets would free up resources for the service to pursue new market opportunities. Indeed, it probably has enough assets so that -- if properly managed -- it could recapitalize its core business without a taxpayer bailout. But Congress must act to allow that to happen.
As the experience in many other countries shows, there is no reason for the U.S. Postal Service's agonizing decline and impending collapse. If Congress borrows from international experience, and acts decisively to reform postal policy, the venerable U.S. Postal Service can also emerge as a viable company in the Internet age.

With the weather warming up, a lot of fur-wearers will be retiring their pelts to closets and vaults until autumn. But that doesn't mean that "fur season" is over.
Consider this—right now, the following is happening around the world:
But while those winter coats are forgotten about for a few months, there are some people who will still have fur on their mind this summer, including the entire nation of Israel. Israeli Knesset Member Nitzan Horowitz has introduced the world's first nationwide bill to prohibit the fur industry. If it becomes law, this bill would prohibit the production, sale, and importation of all fur products throughout Israel. Very cool news for a hot season!
Check out PETA Asia Pacific's site to encourage continued support for this historic bill. And if that just whets your appetite for some serious warm-weather fur-fighting, check this out too.

Comment posted MSP's views on the A83 situation by ferryman.
What do you think would be a fair fee for a return ticket on the "Rest" for a family of four. Maybe £40? That would be in line with the Firth of Clyde ferry crossing. Do you think perhaps that might have an adverse effect on tourism and commerce in general?
Its certainly a lot more than the Forth Road bridge which is costing billions but will be free to use.
ferryman also commented
- As I understand it there is nothing to stop the Government now imposing a limit on the profit margin made by Western Ferries – I could be wrong but the situation seems straightforward. If there are any legal beagles out there comments would be welcome.
Western are now the sole provider of a vehicle crossing of the Firth of Clyde. Dunoon and Cowal would be in a dire situation if it did not exist.
The crossing is therefore providing an essential service. As such there does not seem to be anything to stop the Government imposing a Public Service Obligation on the company, limiting its fares and profit margins to a "fair" level – there is no need to provide compensation if this is done, because of course the company is still gaining a "fair" profit margin.
I wish to see competition on the route. However if the current monopoly situation persits then really the Government have a duty to act as, if the current levels are in excess of "fair" then surely that is profiteering?
Of course the Government has been very clear about the effect of RET where it has been introduced – both vehicle and passenger number have increased dramatically. The result could therfore be a win for all, with Western carrying more traffic at lower fares and lower profit margin but actually making more money.
As I said I prefer competition, but Public Service Obligations seem a fair alternative.
- The Government is permitted to subsidise the passenger only service in Dunoon to a fair level of profit under EU rules. So there is already some way of deciding what "fair" is.
I believe the Government can simply impose a Public Service Obligation on Western Ferries to charge fares that result in a fair profit.
I want competition. Failing that I want Western limited to a fair profit.
You are suggesting RET which I suspect will result in even cheaper fares (the crossing is short), fine. Though I think in that case a subsidy might be required.
- Robert, I had missed you saying that.
So to be clear then you want the charges on Western Ferries to be capped at the level of RET?
Presumably you only want compensation paid to Western if they then make less than what might be considered a "fair" profit for the industry sector?
- You are trying to shirk the question again.
What would be wrong with a private company solving the problem on the "Rest" with a "truely excellent" solution and then being free to charge say £40 for a family of four in a car to make a return trip? Commercial vehicles would be charged a lot more no doubt.
You seem to be in favour of the equivalent for the people of Dunoon, but don't want it for your self on a road that you use.
Perhaps you see some drawbacks when you want to travel, for tourism, and for the price of goods and services – do these drawbacks not also apply in Dunoon?
- Of course it is a sensible question. Tolls can be charged on motorways, bridges, tunnels – anything you want.
The trend has been to remove them. However on the Dunoon Gourock ferry route we have gone completely in the opposite direction. We have a sole supplier with no control on fares or profit. I don't want free vehicle ferries just competition, you (who don't use the service) keep arguing against it.
So why would you object to tolls on the "Rest" with no control on fares and profit. It seems like exactly the same situation for me.
Is the only difference that you use the "Rest" and so are not quite so keen on the idea of private monopolies when its your pocket that get hits. Really Robert you are spoilt for choice there is the A83 or the A82.
Recent comments by ferryman
- Reminder: Argyll Ferries on 'refit' service schedule
The scottish Government has failed to deliver on the transferable ferry tickets it was going to setup. The bus scheme is a bodge that adds anything upto two hours to travel time.Any news on what they are going to do for Cowal Games or are they just going to try another gamble on the weather.
- New Campbeltown ferry pilot – a whale beached before it starts
They did not refuse to give car/ferry passenger service to Dunoon – they took it away!They went back on a maniefesto committment to provide new vehicle ferries and then to cap it all they made an incompetent botch by putting in a totally and uttery unreliable passenger only service.
- Inexplicable blame game from MSP on lack of cross-ticketing on Dunoon ferries
"no carrier could justify running a heavier and thirstier craft than necessary"The "than necessary" is the critical point. If you are specifying a commuter service to get people to and from work, hospital college etc. then it is necessary and perfectly possible to specify vessels able to operate reliably on the Clyde.
What you do not do is accept vessels which regularly and repeatedly fail to run for days at a time.
Newsroom wrote "physical facts are the physical facts", they are indeed and the current bathtubs are far too small for reliable operation. In any case the Ali Cat was operating unreliably on the route already so her current performance is no surprise.
- Inexplicable blame game from MSP on lack of cross-ticketing on Dunoon ferries
I take exception to your statement that "The Argyll Ferries' passenger boats, being necessarily lighter craft, are more prone to delay and cancellation in a bit of a blow".Transport Scotland should have specified vessels able to provide a reliable service. They did not hence the problem.
Also the gentleman referred to in the article in the Observer concluded by saying he did not want a lot of energy devoted to cross ticketing etc he wanted it devoted to the getting his town centre ferry service taking him to the trains to work.
That of course makes sense because even if he could transfer totally reliably to and from Western at no cost at all he would still be late for work.
- Western Ferries: new sailings, inflation rises in fares – and protection for concessions
"the consensus seemed to be that they would be too expensive to be used as passenger only ferries"Exactly. Here you have ferries known to be reliable in the sea conditions on the route, able to operate at a fantastic profit when carrying vehicles but not economic carrying only passengers.
AF are suspended again today, they were off all day yesterday, because they use bathtubs not remotely suited for the purpose to which they are being put.
The sensible thing is to use larger ferries on the town centre route and let them carry vehicles. As CalMac demonstrated, before the Government of the day stopped them, putting on more sailings increased revenue and cut subsidy.

fio is an I/O tool meant to be used both for benchmark and stress/hardware verification. It has support for 13 different types of I/O engines (sync, mmap, libaio, posixaio, SG v3, splice, null, network, syslet, guasi, solarisaio, and more), I/O priorities (for newer Linux kernels), rate I/O, forked or threaded jobs, and much more. It can work on block devices as well as files. fio accepts job descriptions in a simple-to-understand text format. Several example job files are included. fio displays all sorts of I/O performance information, including complete IO latencies and percentiles. Fio is in wide use in many places, for both benchmarking, QA, and verification purposes. It supports Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OS X, OpenSolaris, AIX, HP-UX, and Windows.
nxlog is a modular, multi-threaded, high-performance log management solution with multi-platform support. In concept, it is similar to syslog-ng or rsyslog, but is not limited to Unix/syslog only. It can collect logs from files in various formats, receive logs from the network remotely over UDP, TCP, or TLS/SSL on all supported platforms. It supports platform-specific sources such as the Windows Eventlog, Linux kernel logs, Android device logs, local syslog, etc. Writing and reading logs to/from databases is also supported for many database servers. The collected logs can be stored into files, databases, or forwarded to a remote log server using various protocols. The old BSD Syslog and the newer IETF syslog standard (RFC 3164 and RFC 5424-5426) are fully supported by nxlog in addition to XML, JSON, CSV, GELF, and other custom formats. A key concept in nxlog is to be able to handle and preserve structured logs so there is no need to convert everything to syslog and then parse these logs again at the other side. It has powerful message filtering, log rewrite, and conversion capabilities. Using a lightweight, modular, and multi-threaded architecture which can scale, nxlog can process hundreds of thousands of events per second.
YourKit Java Profiler is a CPU and memory profiler that makes it easy to solve wide range of CPU- and memory-related performance problems. It features automatic leak detection, powerful tools for the analysis of memory distribution, an object heap browser, comprehensive memory tests as part of your JUnit testing process, extremely low profiling overhead, transparent deobfuscation support, and integration with Eclipse, JBuilder, IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, and JDeveloper IDEs.
passwdqc is a password/passphrase strength checking and policy enforcement tool set, including an optional PAM module (pam_passwdqc), command-line programs (pwqcheck and pwqgen), and a library (libpasswdqc). On systems with PAM, pam_passwdqc is normally invoked on password changes by programs such as passwd(1). It is capable of checking password or passphrase strength, enforcing a policy, and offering randomly-generated passphrases, with all of these features being optional and easily (re-)configurable. pwqcheck and pwqgen are standalone password/passphrase strength checking and random passphrase generator programs, respectively, and are usable from scripts. libpasswdqc is the underlying library, which may also be used from third-party programs.
Jmx4Perl provides an alternate way of accessing Java JEE Server management interfaces that are based on JMX (Java Management Extensions). It is an agent-based approach where a small Web application deployed on the application server provides HTTP/JSON-based access to JMX MBeans registered within the application server. It is set up from a handful of Perl modules, which can be integrated seamlessly in your own programs. It also includes a Nagios plugin, check_jmx4perl, a jmx4perl command line tool for remote JMX queries and operations, and a readline-based JMX shell j4psh, with context sensitive command completion and syntax highlighting.
makeself is a small shell script that generates a self-extractable compressed TAR archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a shell script, and can be launched as is. The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an arbitrary command will be executed (for example, an installation script). This is pretty similar to archives generated with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world.

Former Cardinals QB Warner 'impressed' with Ryan Lindley
Originally published: Nov 28, 2012 - 5:04 pm
The latest quarterback to audition is Ryan Lindley, a sixth-round pick in the 2012 draft who received his first NFL start against the Rams last Sunday.
Lindley, who completed 31-of-52 passes for 312 yards with four interceptions, had his struggles.
But according to Warner, who was a guest of Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Wednesday, he also had some very positive moments.
"I saw a lot of good things," Warner said. "I felt like, especially early in the game, things were really good."
Warner, who is an analyst for the NFL Network, said it appeared things "got away from" Lindley as the game wore on, and the pair of pick-sixes the QB threw certainly didn't help.
Listen: Kurt Warner, NFL Network Analyst Former Cardinals quarterback and current NFL Network analyst Kurt Warner joins the guys to talk football. What does Warner think of the 49ers naming Colin Kaepernick their starting QB? Would Alex Smith be a good fit with the Cardinals? Find answers to these questions and more with Doug and Wolf.
"But I was impressed; I thought he made some really good throws," Warner added. "Some tough reads or went to places where you might not expect a rookie to go and deliver the football well."
Warner said Lindley did make some of the classic rookie mistakes, but overall he was "really impressed" with the way the 23-year-old played.

Citing the impact on businesses, Madison Mayor Paul Soglin has canceled the second of two Ride the Drive festivals in the city.

I bought this ring to replace a similar one I wrecked. I looked all over for a diamond accent ring like it and came across this one. I was hesitant about ordering something I couldn't try on... I ordered exact to my size and it fits perfectly. Looks great on my finger and is just flashy enough to catch peoples attention! I love it.
The diamonds are very sparkling on this ring. I am quite happy I ordered it.
Got this beauty for my girlfriend. She said it's very comfy to wear and the band is very smooth.
The diamond of my ring is just amazing. The band is very comfy as well.
The silver ring is nice but the diamonds are very small and lack brilliance.
Extremely poor quality diamonds. I wasn't expecting much given the price, but this looked so bad I couldn't possibly wear it. They were solid milk white with absolutely no shine. Returned immediately.
This would have been perfect had it been larger (wider). You really cant even see the tiny diamonds. It's ok for wearing while I work with my hands or have to wear gloves and don't want to dirty up my real wedding set. All in all for the price and quality, it's ok.
The diamonds lack any brilliance to them at all. Completely dull and cloudy. I should have expected this for the price, but the picture definitely makes it look nicer. I needed a wedding band in a pinch (believe it or not, we completely forget about them in the madness of planning everything else. However, we planned on buying something small at first and upgrading later in life) so set your expectation low and you won't be disappointed.
I bought this ring to replace my wedding ring because it no longer fit and couldnt be re-sized. It is beautiful on my hand. very easy to wear (im a stay at home mom of 2 small children) it shines more than I expected and it looks great on slender fingers!! just perfect! A great buy! :)
I bought the ring for a thumb ring and have worn it to work 1 day and received many compliments on it. It is very sturdy, the diamonds are a little cloudy, but for the price, it is a very nice ring. I would reccomend it to anyone. I am very please with the out come of my purchase, and it was very easy to track the order. I did just basic shipping and rec'd it within 8 days. Over all I am glad I purchased it and will wear it every day.

Mary McCeutcheon Lent Announces: Tobay To Receive Hud Grant Civic Group Arms Against Hippo CIVIC LEADERS MAKE PLANS; Clearview Village Civic Association President Roy Entin (L) and Greater Plain view Community Association President Paul Eisenstein go over plans to fight the proposed "Hippo" Discotheque and associated downzoning of the Plainview Shopping Center on South Oyster Bay Road. The Town Board Hearing on the matter will be held at Town Hall east on February 10, and a public meeting sponsored by area civic groups will be held at the Baylis School on February 4. Call 822-4686 for information. The Town of Oyster Bay will receive a $160 thousand grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Congressman Normal F. Lent (R-E. Rockaway) announced today. The money is being awarded under the Metropolitan Discretionary Grant program of the Community Development Act. Lent notified Supervisor John W. Burke of the grant award on Tuesday. "We are gratified," Burke said, "that our program of aggressively seeking federal and state assistance has resulted in this grant." The money will be used for loans and grants to rehabilitate owner-occupied housing and commercial structures; also for curbs, sidewalks, and street furnishings. Lent praised Supervisor Burke and othci town " cSfoiais for actively persuing this federal money but said, "This type of grantsmanship would be unnecessary if Congress would make towns with populations OTB Celebrates 1st Birthday- Nassau Downs-OTB is celebrating its first anniversary at the end of this month with the offer of a free bet at two of its locations-its newest branch, Plainview, and its largest branch, Sunrise Mall, Massapequa. "It is our way of saying thank you to the hundreds of thousands of residents who have played a role in our success," said Easa Easa, President of Nassau Downs. The county's off-track betting corporation opened its doors for business last January 31st. And, on Saturday, January 31st of this year, the corporation will offer a free Pick Four or Free Triple wager to customers purchasing 10 Pick Four tickets at the Plainview or Sunrise Mall (Massapequa) branches only. Similar bets, which will be on the Roosevelt Raceway card, have returned as high as $16,899.60 (Pick Four on December 15th) and $8,616.90 (Triple on December 20th) this season. Easa said the free bet offer was promotional as well as a way of saying thanks. He said the results will be scrutinized to determine if similar offers could be made on a profitable basis in the future. In 1975, for 11 months of operation, the Nassau County Off-Track Betting Corporation exceeded its projections by handling $28,575,103 in bets, reimbursed Nassau County the $1.5 million in start-up funds it had been advanced and earned more than $800,000 in surtax revenue as well as $500,000 in profits. over 50 thousand eligible to receive direct entitlement aid." Lent and Rep. Jerome A. Ambro (D-E. Northport) are co-sponsors of H.R. 6513, a bipartisan bill which would entitle large suburban towns like Oyster Bay and Hempstead to direct and automatic community development aid which currently goes only to cities and counties. "Oyster Bay," Lent said, "has a larger population than many good sized cities and Hempstead is bigger than 11 states. It's only fair that the taxpayers of Long Island be eligible for the same kind of community development money which now goes to much smaller municipalities." Hearings on H.R. 6513 were held before the Banking, Currency, and Housing Committee of the House but no action has been taken to date. Johnson Fights Crime Upswing Prompted by the FBI's annual Crime Report of last fall, State Senator Owen Johnson (R-West Babylon) is pushing for a package of anit-crime bills in the State Legislature. Senator Johnson commented: "The 18 percent increase reported in the U.S. Crime rate is frightening to say the least. While covering my district in the mobile office, one of the concerns most Often voiced by constituents is the criminal element in today's society." Jonnson's efforts are in the form of individually sponsored and co-sponsored bills. They are briefly: S 4114 B -- Provides a November 1976 ballot referendum on the extension of the death penalty for all murders. The voter would have the final say on this important question. S 7061 ~ Extends subpeona power to the superintendent of State Police. Currently other public officers have this right and certainly our State Police head should have this power. S 7240 - Abolishes the distinction between 1st degree murder and second degree murder. S 7127 -Speeds up the reporting of a felony committed with a deadly weapon or using deadly physical force. Currently up to 5 hours elapse between the reporting of a felony and eventual dispatch over pblice communications systems. This bill mandates that when the felony suspect is not apprehended within one hour that the report be immediately transmitted by radio. S 3620 ~ Provides that the innocent victims of a crime be notified within 48 hours of ther rights under the crime victims' compensation board. In outlining these bills, the West Babylon Senator expreesed the hope that "through this kind of corrective legislation, NYS can lead the way in helping to reduce the crime statistics for future years." Dedication Of Memorial Windows Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, 130 Jerusalem Avenue, Hicksville, will be host to the Right Reverend Jonathan. Goodhue Sherman, Bishop of Long Island, on Sunday, February 1. Bishop Sherman will dedicate two new memorial windows. One window to the rights of the Sanctuary, is dedicated to the late Dr. Joseph Wycoff. This window suggests The Church In The World with rich colors of red and blue. The other window, to the right of the Baptismal Font, is in memory of Frances and August Adesjsio, Matilda Birn-still, Mary Flynn, Mary Reynolds, Mabel Grassel, Gertrude and Carroll Rogers. This window suggests Christ The New Creation and is presented in rich colors of orange and red. On the last Sunday in October, 1975, Bishop Robert C. Witcher, Bishop Co-adjutor of the Diocese of Long Island, dedicated the first window installation, Christ In Scripture, a memorial to Phyllis Clements, Alfred Hall and Virginia Martin. The Rector of Holy Trinity Church, The Rev. Domenic K. Ciannella, anticipates that a fourth window will be installed around Easter time, which will be The Creation Window, and by the end of the year it is anticipated that all six windows will be completed. Members of the community are invited to attend this dedication service at 10:00 a.m. and to share in the coffee hour reception in the auditorium following the service. A Change Of Signals The traffic signals at the South Oyster Bay Road-Stewart Avenue intersection will be made fully traffic responsive, Nassau Public Works Commissioner H. John Plock, Jr. has announced. "At present, the signals favor Stewart Avenue traffic irrespective of the traffic flow at any given time", Plock said. "By installing magnetic detectors on South Oyster Bay Road," he continued," which transmit data on vehicle flow to the signal, an automatic adjustment in signal timing can be made to favor whichever road has the heavier volume at any given moment. By giving longer green intervals to the road carrying more traffic, traffic flow should be improved."
