She recognizes the blue box now and has loved each piece
Beautiful. Its looks many times more expensive . Well done !
My daugther had been very happy with the bracelet
It is a very delicated gift for a young girl, she has 16 years old
All the girls in the family loved it!
Perfect blend of colors with the gemstones. Picture did not do the bracelet justice
Nice gemstone bracelet
Very nice, multicolor stones - good quality. As always, packaged very nicely by Blue Nile.
I loved this bracelet (that I bought for myself originally) so much, that I purchased a second one to give to my sister for her upcoming birthday - It is well made and great quality stones - I KNOW she will love it as much as I do and will enjoy wearing it all the time!
The stones look great
Bracelet is a great value, stones are a good size, colors look great with a nice sparkle. It is definitely noticeable if you wear it, its not one of those bracelets where the stones are so small you can't even see them. It is a little long if you have a petite wrist. First time wearing it and the clasp came loose so be careful. Will still keep it, its a nice looking bracelet, just going to take it to a jeweler's to resize and fix the clasp.
Just right.
The length is just right for me. It is 7 1/4" whereas alot of bracelets are 7". That little bit makes it fit well if layering above a watch for example. The quality of the stones is very good, they are well cut and quite vibrant. Very please with it.
Perfect match
Just looks fabulous with matching earrings and necklace or wear by itself colors are deep and it shines wonderfully just love it and blue Nile
the setting is wonderful, i would have liked the stones too be more uniform but it is a joy to wear
Pleasantly Pleased
I have wanted a multicolored bracelet for a while so when I saw it I decided to make it a gift to myself. I was excited that it arrived so quickly and even more pleased to see how beautiful it is. I could tell it was high quality and workmanship. I am very very pleased with my selection.
Exceptional quality and clarity!
Beautiful bracelet. I have purchased several single-color bracelets of this variety, and they are all beautiful. I couldn't resist getting the multi-colored one for my wife, as well. I know she will love it. Great quality, amazing clarity.
Mom loved it
Looks beautiful and vibrant, bought it for my mom and she loved it. Definitely a happy customer!
A big Christmas hit
As advertised, nicely done, apparently high quality, although this can only be judged over time.
She never expected it and she wore it the moment she got it......
I thought they were very well sized and appropriate... The gemstones were nicely presented... The clasp is another matter for they can come undone and you have to keep adjusting it...
The bracelet was lovely and very well made and the price was good, but the colors of the stones were a little "too good"...I wanted to get a paler color of stones, these were very vibrant, where I expected a more pastel look!
Very pretty
Very pretty, maybe it slightly smaller than pictured. But I'm very happy with it.
My grandmother loved the bracelet, unfortunately it's way too big. She's going to take it to a jeweler to have it sized down. Other than that it's been a big hit.
IMPRESSIVE Quality!!
I must say I was VERY impressed with my first jewelry purchase from Blue Nile. Being a 'diamond only' personality, this was my first gemstone buy and I felt the quality was shown in this bracelet.This was not an expensive item but delivered quickly and came in a nice bracelet jewelry box that would make a diamond tennis bracelet 'proud'.I have received many compliments from friends and plan to wear it often. I also plan to purchase other items from Blue Nile because I feel their quality of stones is impressive and the mounting was equally high in quality.
its so nice I had to buy the same one twice
I bought one for my mother for Mother's Day and since she loved it so much I have purchased another for my wife. Another wonderful experience from Blue Nile.

On Saturday in Arizona, the original Batmobile from the 1960s television series was up for auction.
The 'used-car' was sold for $4.2-million from George Barris, the man who customized a 1955 Lincoln Futura Concept car and turned it into the famed crime-fighting conveyance.
The Batman TV show ran for three seasons and featured the most popular 19-foot-long, black bubble-topped car which, in fiction, could lay down smoke screens and oil slicks.
While the bid has ended, the bidder has not been identified publicly.

With new low-cost color-changing LEDs, this already ambitious setup looks even better in 2014.
For its music, voice command, and phone features, and especially its easy-to-install design, the Kinivo BTC455 is one of the better kits for retrofitting a car with Bluetooth.
The Belkin WeMo Maker Kit acts as a home automation hub of sorts.
Pricing not available
The Audiovox IPD-UNVBT is physically firm, functionally flexible, and relatively inexpensive mounting option for entertaining rear seat passengers with the tablet that you already own.
The Steelie phone mount kit consists of a steel ball and a magnetic grommet, which together make for a secure car-mounting system.
You'll almost certainly need to expand upon this kit in order for your system to be particularly useful, and for the majority of buyers, we're not convinced that Insteon is worth the investment. Start elsewhere.
While local storage fans will like Oplink's "Cloud-free" approach, its comparatively low-resolution cameras and high monthly fees make it tough to recommend.
Pricing not available
The Trendnet Powerline 500 AV2 Adapter is an excellent and fast way to extend your home network to places where Wi-Fi signal can't reach.
For basic lighting automation needs, this TCP kit will do the job nicely -- and it won't break the bank, either. For more advanced features and controls, consider the competition, but be prepared to splurge.
While a cool idea and an innovative way to somewhat ward against Smart TV obsolescence, the 2013 Evolution Kit is definitely a niche product.

Now, Forager (2012)
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
3 Readers' Reviews
October 6th, 20129:40 pm
This is exactly the kind of film I love. Given, I mostly hate Hollywood films, so take that as a starting point. But this film is exquisite. I loved the characters, and I LOVED the pace. I walked in to the theater stressed-out from my New York life, and half-way through I realized that I was breathing more slowly, paying real attention to details, remembering what it's like to just watch, listen, be part of the simple, everyday details of life and relationship. Beautiful.
— Grey Gardens, Brooklyn
October 6th, 20122:58 pm
Yes, "Now, Forager" is slow-paced, but it is a sensitive, intelligent portrayal of a failing relationship between two people whose love for each other is in competition with an outside passion that is not fully shared--in this case the man's devotion to mushroom collecting and gourmet cooking. Beyond its compelling human story, the film features gorgeous photography of mushrooms and of nature more generally, and some great comic sequences. It should be highly recommended.
— WillR, New York, NY
October 6th, 20122:58 pm
I suppose I can see why a desperate, harried film reviewer might not revel in the lingering, gorgeous nature photography of this film, but It's odd to let that difference in taste over pacing dominate the review. This is a moving portrayal of a dissolving relationship in which we see two flawed characters each trying to live life well, being sometimes oblivious to their impact on others. Rarely have I seen a film that has given me so much to savor afterward. It has delightful touches of humor, a wide range of intriguing characters, and extraordinary emotional subtlety.

By Cati Diamond Stone
Each breast cancer survivor story is different. For me, sharing perspectives helps heal. More important, it brings hope that survivors' stories will inspire others to take action to prevent breast cancer.
My daughter "L" was 16 months old when the news arrived: Stage 3 breast cancer. For L, my diagnosis meant "Grandparentpalooza" at home during 18 months of treatment.
For me, it meant figuring out how to be a mom, wife, career girl and cancer patient all at once — an array of competing interests. But the most important thing (or so it seemed at the time) was for L to never learn of the illness.
Innocence only lasts so long, and it didn't seem right to give my toddler a dose of reality while so young, so I faked it. When my hair fell out from chemo, I told her I wanted to try out a new haircut. When picking her up to play became impossible during weakening months of treatment, I feigned preference to spread toys on the floor. When L saw me wince as clothing irritated my radiation-burned skin, laughing it off was the norm.
For a while, it seemed the ruse worked. But the low point came while attending a children's theater event when an usher told her it was "so nice that her daddy brought her to the show," not surprising given my peach fuzz haircut and pale skin.
That was a wake-up call. In trying to make L feel like nothing was wrong, I was only kidding myself. I was sick, and everyone knew it but me.
Now four, my daughter asks me health questions, and we talk about the answers. She sees my scars and traces them with her fingers. She knows cancer made me very sick, and she knows my health is better now.
I can answer all of her questions except one: Will she have to go through the same experience? I cannot fake an answer. The only option is to tell her of my work alongside many others who are fighting to find a cure for this disease, and that we will never give up until we do.
For now, that is good enough for her.
At Komen Atlanta, our mission is to enable women in this community to detect and survive breast cancer. This month, we're asking supporters to raise awareness and funds to help continue our work as Atlanta's resource for the medically under-served who need breast cancer screening, diagnostic and support services.
There are three ways to help.
First, raise awareness by joining the virtual "Pink Out." Simply change a Facebook profile picture to a pink ribbon for a few days, then invite friends to do the same.
The second option is to donate. Just $10 can cover the cost of a screening, which is how many receive early detection. It's easy: Text "PINK" to 501501 to make a $10 donation. All donations up to $150,000 will be matched by Kroger. About 75 percent of raised funds remain in Atlanta to provide treatment and support services.
Finally, get involved by attending Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities. With events like the upcoming 2013 Worship In Pink at more than 200 local religious institutions Oct. 25-27, anyone may help make a difference. For more information, go to: http://komenatlanta.org/.
Cati Diamond Stone is executive director of Komen Atlanta.

A goal of many OVW grantees is to change institutional practices that give rise to poor outcomes for survivors of violence against women. Praxis International offers methods and tools for activists and representatives from institutions that process "cases" to move toward approaches that reform the ongoing work routines that ultimately shape case outcomes. The tools avoid blaming individuals for failing to protect victims. A Community Assessment emphasizes understanding how work is organized in ways that impede attention to victim safety and well-being and to offender accountability. Practitioners and advocates work side by side to analyze policies, case files, and the steps in case processing in order to identify concrete points of change. This webinar will provide an overview of the tools available and how they might benefit your community's efforts to improve responses to violence against women.

Presented by Teresa M. Garvey
The application of Crawford principles in the context of forensic evidence continues to plague the criminal justice system. The United States Supreme Court's decision in Williams v. Illinois did not provide the guidance prosecutors had hoped for with regard to satisfying Sixth Amendment confrontation requirements in cases involving forensic evidence, where multiple analysts may be involved or where examining experts are no longer available to testify. The Williams decision raises more questions than it answers about when and how an expert may testify to conclusions based upon the opinions or work of other (non-testifying) experts or technicians.
This webinar will provide a review of the relevant case law, and will explore how trial prosecutors can present a case involving forensic testing that involves a multitude of technicians and experts. It will also address Williams' impact on "cold cases," in which original experts who performed autopsies and other forensic examinations and testing are no longer available for trial. This webinar will provide practical suggestions to trial prosecutors who must balance limited resources against the need to secure convictions that will withstand confrontation challenges on appeal.
Allied justice system professionals including but not limited to prosecutors, law enforcement officers, lab personnel, medical professionals, and judges are encouraged to view the recording.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A march from Liberty Park to Mission Park hopes to help quell violence in Spokane. An increase in gang activity was claimed as the reason for the call for peace from the community.
Mission Park is expected to be packed with hundreds of people on Saturday in a march for peace. The numerous shooting that have rung out in Spokane inspired people to come together in a show of peace, over violence.
The fatal shooting at The Hop bar inspired the organizors to action.
"It sparked outrage, and you know, we said enough is enough. Get together and no more deaths need to happen," said Andre Ervine, the director of Vision United America.
That was only one shooting of several in 2013.
"It's the shooting that's making me more concerned, and seeing to the place we have some young individuals out there that have that 'I don't care' type attitude and they become very dangerous," said Pastor Shon Davis Sr., of Jesus Is The Answer Spokane.
Ervine and Davis Sr. organized Saturday's march in memory of Julian Morrison, the 26-year-old bystander who was caught in the crossfire at The Hop.
Pastor Davis Sr. was a member of the Crips where he was shot twice. His goal became to reach kids before gangs did. He started a basketball league in summer of 2013 in partnership with Spokane Police.
The march will start at Liberty Park at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday and end at Mission Park

Conan O'Brien: "Mitt Romney won all five of the primaries on Tuesday. Apparently when you buy four primaries, you get the fifth for free."

The Ottawa Valley Astronomy and Observers Group
The Ottawa Valley Astronomy and Observers Group (OAOG)
is an informal, bilingual, independent, and non-profit
association of amateur astronomers who have an undying
curiosity of the night sky and its many wonders. It
is the original group founded by
Rock Mallin and Don Fougère in 1994 for observers
who enjoy observing with others and want to share their
interest with the public. The idea came forth when a
great demand for more local public observing and star
parties throughout the Ottawa region was noticed. Some
of our activities are planned well in advance, but many
are held with short notice, so visit our web site at

Week at Multiple Venues
Austin, TX. The Austin Astronomical Society (AAS has
planned events for the evening of April 23 all over
Central Texas so you can stargaze and appreciate the
beauty of the heavens during National Astronomy Week.
You will have three places to choose from to celebrate:
The Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve, Mansfield Dam Overlook
and the Eagle Eye Observatory will have members of the
club to show off the stars.
The Wild Basin venue has a delightful walk along the
Easy Access Trail to the
Overlook. An experienced amateur astronomer points out
constellations and tells
interesting tidbits about various objects seen with
the unaided eye.
Afterwards, you are led back to Education Building
to enjoy the beauty of the
planets, galaxies and other objects through telescopes.
Lucinda Wise, Wild Basin
Ranger and storyteller, may tell star stories on the
porch before the group departs.
You will need a reservation and the cost is $3 per adult
and $1 per child. Contact
the Wild Basin at 512-327-7622 for more information.
The Eagle Eye Observatory in Canyon of the Eagles Lodge
and Nature Park, an LCRA Park on Lake Buchanan, will
roll the roof off to showcase the celestial wonders
through the society's two telescopes.
The 12.5-inch Harlan Smith Telescope, built by club
members, is celebrating its 30th year of service. The
16-inch Ealing Educator weighs in at 1000 pounds and
permits an observer to see objects at least 6,000 times
fainter and detail over 200 times finer than can be
seen with the naked eye.
The Eagle Eye Observatory will be open two other days
during National Astronomy Week; Sunday, April 18th and
Wednesday, April 21. There is no fee for the stargazing
but there is a $5 day-use park fee for those over 12
years of age. Please contact Canyon of the Eagles Lodge
and Nature Park at 1-800-977-0081 for more information.

Scenic Overlook. It's located off Hwy 620 on the South
(Lakeway) side of the dam. It is just a parking lot,
so drive slowly and avoid the telescopes and astronomers
pointing at the stars.
This is a casual group and you are welcome to bring
