Ring jewelers can remake a ring with a special expandable ring clasp. Rings are probably the hardest item of jewelry to deal with for people with arthritis in their hands. The swelling in the knuclkes of the finger and the way some fingers twist and deform so crooked makes it difficult, if not impossible, to slide a ring on and off.
Like many women, my Mother has quite a few rings. One of the problems she faced having such horrible arthritis in her hands was being able to wear her rings. The more Mother's fingers bent, the less she could wear her favorite rings–including her wedding rings. In fact, at one point she had to have a few rings cut off and that certainly wasn't any fun.
The long of the short of it is that until Mom learned about special expandable ring clasps she had to quit wearing rings altogether. There are a couple different versions of these ring clasps with different names. They allow a ring to open and close so a person can get a ring on or off a finger.
The ring clasp itself needs to be installed by a ring jeweler. So, I'm not going to pretend that it is a cheap process to have done at your local jewelry store. However, for rings of good quality or that have special sentimental value for someone, it is well worth every penny!

|Amazon Price: $77.00
One thing to bear in mind if you want to buy a bracelet or a watch as a gift for someone who has arthritic hands is that expandable bands are much easier to get on and off than ones that have any type of clasp. However, items with a magnetic clasp are relatively easy to manipulate as well.
Necklaces that are large enough to slip over the head are also a great gift idea since a person doesn't have to hassle with any type of jewelry latch or hasp. You can also consider necklaces and bracelets with magnetic jewelry clasps.

Petersburg, VSU join to explore $50 million hotel and conference center
A $50 million hotel and conference center could be coming to downtown Petersburg soon if all goes according to plan.
Petersburg Mayor Brian Moore and Virginia State University President Dr. Keith Miller today announced that the city and local university have formed an economic development partnership to explore the feasibility of a hotel-convention center in the city of Petersburg.
"A hotel-convention center is key to Petersburg's plan for the complete revitalization of the Downtown, Old Towne and Harbor areas," Moore said.
"Virginia State University is committed to contributing to the growth of Petersburg and the region through partnerships," Miller said in the press release announcing the partnership.
The City of Petersburg plans to exercise a six-month option on five parcels of land in the Bollingbrook, Bank Street area formerly occupied by Rountree Pontiac. A consulting firm will be hired to study the feasibility of the location, the economic impact and the implementation of a public-private partnership.
The hotel-convention center project is expected to represent an investment of over $50 million dollars.

Supports Liver Detoxification.
Whether you see the innocent-looking lump of pale green on a plate' or in the wild' its delicate stems and graceful leaves swaying above a stream' don't be deceived by its gentle appearance. Wasabi gives a powerful jolt' both as a fiery condiment beloved by Japanese gourmets as well as a potent detoxifying plant that has been studied by Japanese herbalists since the 10th century.
Wasabi (Wasabia japonica) grows naturally in the mountains of Japan in the gravel and sandbars of coldwater streams and rivers. Rare and difficult to grow' it takes three years for a wasabi rhizome to reach maturity. Long stems grow from the rhizome' and when the stems grow above the waterline' a heart-shaped leaf forms.
The rare wasabi plant is a natural' potent aid to a healthy' cleansed liver that in turn affects the detoxification and cleansing of the entire body. Planetary Herbals searches the world for the finest botanicals that support your health.
Potent Detoxification:
What makes wasabi so special? It comes from a good family; the brassica vegetables in the cruciferae family include such health giants as broccoli' horseradish' Brussels sprouts' cabbage' cauliflower' and kale. All of these are well-known detoxifying plants' and wasabi appears to be the most amazing of them all' with detox capacities far beyond the others in the family because it is loaded with isothiocyanate precursors. These chemicals not only give wasabi its famous "fire'" they likewise are the source of the plant's detoxification properties. Isothiocyanates are formed when wasabi cells are ruptured during digestion. They are then available to help remove toxic substances that are stored in the liver's fatty tissues.
Because of its popularity' wasabi is now cultivated hydroponically and in cold' wet environments outside of Japan' such as in New Zealand and Oregon. Traditionally' the rhizome was freshly grated at the table with a sharkskin grater' popular with dishes such as seafood or udon noodles. Now wasabi is usually dried into powder form and made into the pale green paste familiar to most westerners.
Phase II Detox:
The liver detoxifies the by-products of digestion and other harmful substances through a complex series of chemical reactions often referred to as Phase I and Phase II Detoxification. Phase I enzymes begin the process by taking the toxic molecule and changing it into a bioactive form. This process breaks down toxins. A second set of enzymes' Phase II' then neutralizes the toxin and makes it water soluble for elimination. Wasabi' which forms long-chain isothiocyanates when digested' induces the Phase II enzymes. Simply stated' it is the sparkplug that starts Phase II enzymes on their work. This process' all done in the liver' supports the body's ability to clean itself of impurities.
Wasabi is an herb renowned in Japan and gaining popularity internationally. In the modern world with so many pollutants' our bodies need help cleansing themselves of toxins from the environment. Wasabi' along with a whole food' high-fiber diet and reduction of alcohol consumption' supports a healthy liver - the largest of the vital organs and the key to the digestion and elimination systems and most particularly' the body's ability to detoxify.

About Stereo Skateboards
Stereo was founded in 1992 when long term friends Jason Lee and Chris Pastras decided the skateboarding world lacked what creatively drove them. The brand turned the skate world on its ears with timeless, classic, and totally original inspirations.
Together, Jason and Chris released two skateboard films: A Visual Sound ('94) and Tincan Folklore ('96). Going against the grain with the use of 8mm film, black and white still photography and avant-garde music, the two films are now revered as classics within the skateboard community. Similarly, the "retro-modern" design aesthetic Stereo brought to skate graphics in '92, was worlds away from the cartoony, blood and guts filled design skateboarding was accustomed too.
Now with nearly 2 decades of heritage, Stereo continues to be an influential skateboard brand. To this day, each and every project and product produced by Stereo remains... Timeless, Classic and Original.
The width of your truck axle should closely match the width of your skateboard deck, usually within 1/4".

LO - Provides extra stability for flip tricks, designed for small wheels (50-53mm wheel size recommended).
MID - Good all-around profile for street or park (53-56mm wheel size recommended).
HIGH - Great for cruising and carving, designed for large wheels (56mm+ wheel size recommended).

Skateboard Trucks Buying Guide
The hanger is the truck's T-shaped aluminum alloy grind area. It makes direct contact with rails and curbs. The hanger holds the axle on which the wheels are mounted. Hangers weigh about 10-13 oz, with lighter ones available. The width of your truck axle should closely match the width of your skateboard deck, usually within 1/4".

The average width of a skateboard deck is 7.5"- 8.25". Width is influenced by the size of the rider and the type of riding. Bigger riders and those skating ramps typically prefer a wider deck. Street skaters usually choose a smaller deck. Choose your skateboard deck according to the width, not length. Here are some general guidelines:
MICRO - Deck width: 6.75" or smaller - 5 years old or younger, under 3'4" tall. Size 3 shoes or smaller.
MINI - Deck width: 7.0" - 6 to 8 years old between 3'5" & 4'4" tall. Size 4-6 shoes.

88a-95a - Slightly harder and faster with a little less grip, but the grip's still good. Street; rough surfaces.
96a-99a - Good speed and grip - an all-around wheel. Great for beginners skating street, skate parks, ramps and pools. Smooth surfaces.
101a + - Hardest and fastest wheel with the least grip. Ineffective on slick and rough surfaces. These are pro wheels.
83b-84b - Wheels using the B scale are extremely hard, measuring 20 points lower than the the A Scale in order to allow the scale to extend another 20 points for harder wheels.

The laws for skateboarding helmets vary from state to state. Many states require that skaters wear a helmet under a certain age, and some states like California make all skaters under 18 wear a CPSC Certified helmet at all times. CSPC skateboard helmets usually have an EPS protective liner that meets the safety standards for skateboarding. Make sure you check your state's regulations before ordering.
CPSC Certified Helmets: California requires that all skateboard helmets must meet the requirements of the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Section 890.4 of the Streets and Highways Code enforces these standards in California and will not allow Warehouse Skateboards to ship non-CPSC Certified helmets to California.

Unsure of the size you need?
Visit our Clothing Sizing Charts
Note: Each brands skateboard helmet size will vary; therefore, it is best to measure your head and refer to the sizing chart specific to each brand of helmet. In order to properly measure your head, follow these steps:
Wrap a soft tape measure around your forehead, just above your eyebrows and ears. Keep the tape measure level from the front to the back of your head. Your skateboard helmet should sit low on your forehead.
If you do not have a flexible tape measure, try marking a string and measuring it against a ruler.
If the helmet is a gift or you cannot measure the skater's head, measure the inside of a current helmet or hat they wear.
Within each skateboard helmet product page there are specific measurements for each skate brand. Use that information, along with your head size, to determine your correct helmet size before placing your order. This will ensure that you receive the best fit.

Via-based Handheld Game Console Runs PC Games
CowboyNeal posted more than 10 years ago | from the also-looks-stupid dept.208
An anonymous reader writes "Via Technologies has teamed up with Ministry of Mobile Affairs (no, it's not a government agency) to build a handheld game console based on Windows XP Embedded that runs existing PC games. Described as the world's first handheld gaming device based on the x86 architecture, the Eve Mobile Gaming Console is said to be capable of instantly running thousands of existing PC games. Eve's embedded computer is built around a 533MHz Via Eden-N processor (which supports SSE and MMX) equipped with 128MB DDR266 SDRAM, and a 20GB hard drive. A built-in 4-inch LCD screen supports resolutions up to 640 x 480 pixels." The initial impressions are pretty grim, and the form factor leaves something to be desired, at least for a product vying for a share of the GBA market.

"[The catechesis of adults] is the principal form of catechesis, because it is addressed to persons who have the greatest responsibilities and the capacity to live the Christian message in its fully developed form. The Christian community cannot carry out a permanent catechesis without the direct and skilled participation of adults, whether as receivers or as promoters of catechetical activity. The world in which the young are called to live and gives witness to the faith which catechesis seeks to deepen and strengthen is governed by adults: the faith of these adults too should continually be enlightened, stimulated and renewed, so that it may pervade the temporal realities in their charge. Thus, for catechesis to be effective, it must be permanent, and it would be quite useless if it stopped short just at the threshold of maturity, since catechesis, admittedly under another form, proves no less necessary for adults."
~ Pope John Paul II, Catechesi Tradendae (On Catechesis in Our Time), ¶43
Our 18-week "Alpha for Catholics" runs year-round on Tuesday nights and is for all adults! Alpha classes are available as partial preparation for those in sacramental preparation (i.e. first holy communion, confirmation, etc.) and for those in the pre- and early catechumenate phases of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). Volunteers are always needed. Childcare is available! Please see the Alpha page for details.
Director: Jeannette Case Schlicher
Contact: (505) 892-1511 Ext 104
Between Alpha and RCIA we offer the adults preparing for sacraments of initiation the opportunity to participate in a Great Adventure Bible Timeline study!
Director: Jeannette Case Schlicher
Adult Ministries maintains the literature racks located inside every entrance to the church. All literature donated for the racks must be reviewed and approved or it will be removed.
RCIA meets on Sunday mornings from early January until Pentecost and is available for adults who entering the Catholic Church or are converts to the Catholic faith.
The Welcoming Team contact newly-registered parishioners to meet and welcome them to our parish. They give each household a packet of information and a small crucifix, personally blessed by the pastor as a gift. Volunteers are always needed!
Coordinators:Jerry Miller
Training is available for adults interested in catechesis. In addition to catechetical training, the classes will touch on educational psychology and training methods gears specifically for adults.
ACTS continues to present adult catechesis opportunities for our parishioners. Classes meet on announced Mondays from 7:00-9:00 p.m in D'Arco Hall.
"Small communities are powerful vehicles for adult faith formation, providing opportunities for learning, prayer, mutual support, and the shared experience of Christian living and service to Church and society" (From Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, #106). Study groups using The Great Adventure Bible study are taking place right now!

Vegas, baby … is simultaneously exhilarating and depressing. The atmosphere is crazy - you're encouraged to have more fun, spend more, do more, eat more, drink more, and gamble more at all times - and everyone is determined to have a good time. So, that vibe can rub off, and make for fun times. Especially at 12.30 at night at the ritzy Bellagio, or even playing blackjack at 12 noon in the swanky Aria casino.
However, it's slightly depressing to see, even in these glamorous casinos, schlubby people slumped in front of slot machines, staring at the lights. And down the older end of the strip, where things are a little more faded, the seedy side is more apparent. Down one end, by Circus Circus and other older casinos, things are cheaper (e.g. we stayed down this end), but you also see more people in sweatpants, and flip flops, up all night gambling at the slot machines.
But the shows (we went to the Cirque du Solei show 'Ka', and it was excellent), and the neon, and the glamour of the newer, bigger casinos - the Bellagio, Caesar's Palace - can be a tonne of fun.
And the Bellagio fountain - genuinely worth the trip. Pretty much a highlight - the fountains dance to the music! So. Cool.

AMHERST, N.Y. (AP) — Police in western New York say a body has been found in a burned apartment after an early morning fire than caused an estimated $1 million in damage.
The fire broke out shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday at an eight-unit apartment building in the town of Amherst. Police tell local media outlets that a body was found in the apartment where the fire started. Police haven't released information on the victim's identity or cause of the fire.
Amherst Police evacuated most of the residents after receiving 911 calls about the fire, and firefighters used ladders to rescue two upstairs residents and a cat.

Shane Segovia became the second Tiger this season to post three doubles in a game.
April 8, 2014
Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Second baseman Shane Segovia (Sinton, Texas) had three of Mizzou's (15-16) five doubles on Tuesday (April 8) night to set the tone as the Tigers claimed a 9-4 win over in-state rival Missouri State (13-16) at Taylor Stadium. The senior infielder also scored three times and registered one RBI. As a whole, Mizzou tallied 15 hits in the contest with six batters claiming multiple hits against the Bears. Jake Ring (Ingleside, Ill.) had a career day at the dish with three RBI in the contest, scoring once.
Dillon Everett (Phoenix, Ariz.) and Logan Pearson (Bentonville, Ark.) each had two RBI in the midweek contest, giving the bottom four hitters in the order seven RBI in the game. Pearson also scored twice in the Mizzou win, keeping the Tigers a perfect 5-0 in midweek games at Taylor Stadium this season. Starting pitcher Peter Fairbanks (St. Louis, Mo.) went a career-best six innings, striking out four hitters and taking the win to improve to 3-2 on the year.
The Bears struck in the first inning, loading the bases with no outs against Fairbanks and pushing two across for a quick 2-0 lead. Josh Lester (Columbus, Ga.) and Kendall Keeton (Columbia, Tenn.) singled to put two on with two outs for the Tigers in the third inning, the first hits of the game for Mizzou, but both were left stranded. Mizzou got on the board in the fourth, taking advantage of Segovia's leadoff double and walk for Pearson as the home squad knotted the game at two at the end of the frame.
The Tigers claimed the lead in the following inning, with the same part of the order coming through as Pearson and Everett hit in Dylan Kelly (Roswell, Ga.) and Segovia, and then Ring again came through with a RBI single, bringing in two more runs for a four-run edge. Eric Anderson (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) then tripled in Ring for a 7-2 lead after five. Mizzou kept scoring in the sixth, adding two more runs on back-to-back RBI doubles by Segovia and Pearson for a 9-2 lead.
Fairbanks was chased in the seventh, charged with two more runs after his exit, where he gave way to Austin Tribby (Springfield, Mo.) who made his SEC-leading 20th appearance of the year. Breckin Williams (Oronogo, Mo.) entered with runners on the corners and one out, inducing a double play to keep the score 9-4 into the seventh inning stretch. Both teams went scoreless the rest of the way with Williams finishing the game on the mound for the Tigers.
Mizzou heads to Lexington, Ky., to take on the Kentucky Wildcats this weekend. Keep up with Mizzou baseball by following the team on Twitter (@MizzouBaseball) or by checking MUTigers.com.

Nice breakdown. Honestly, I don't think this is THAT bad of a movie. In fact, pretty much all of the Alien flicks bring something to the table. They mirror Dark Horse comics series' in the fact that they take the source material in completely different directions. And, I was not at all aware that Joss Whedon had written this.

What is in this article?:
- Max Brenner moves toward fast-casual format
- Consumers come for the chocolate
The chocolate-centric chain is refocusing to better meet its American consumers' needs.
Max Brenner Chocolate Bar & Restaurant is moving from a full-service model it operates in the United States and Israel to a fast-casual format focusing on desserts.
The New York City-based chain began in 1999 in Australia with a dessert-focused, limited-service format similar to the one it is returning to.
"The restaurants were brand extensions" of the original Max Brenner Chocolate Bar, chief executive Sam Borgese said.
• Frozen-treat chains prepare to serve pent-up demand
• Dessert mashups feature craft ice cream, retro style
• More Dessert Trends at NRN.com
There are a total of eight full-service restaurants — five in Israel and one each in Boston, New York City and Philadelphia — and 44 Chocolate Bars in Australia, Japan, Singapore and Russia.
The chain added savory items to the menu when it expanded to Israel, in an attempt to occupy more dayparts. When Borgese, a former executive chairman of El Pollo Loco, joined Chocolate Bar two years ago, he suggested they "pivot away from the savory side and concentrate on the original model."
Borgese said he thought the fast-casual model better suited American consumers' needs. Additionally, the unit economics of the Chocolate Bars are "more robust," he said. Ninety percent of its customers visit the restaurant for chocolate.
"We don't get written up for having the best roast beef in town," Borgese said.
The chain is known for its fondue and hot chocolate. Other popular items include chocolate pizza and a chocolate syringe — melted ganache in a large syringe that guests can squirt onto other foods, such as waffles or crêpes, or directly into their mouths.
The Chocolate Bar also offers peanut butter and chocolate granitas and a line of cold beverages called Choctails that come in flavors such as salted caramel, chocolate and hazelnut. A green tea and white chocolate Choctail is currently in the works, Borgese said. Hot and cold coffee drinks, pastries and desserts also are available.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Rookie Wil Myers helped the struggling Tampa Bay Rays get a key victory in the opener of a four-game series.
Myers homered and had three RBIs, Alex Cobb pitched eight solid innings and the Rays took the lead for the first AL wild-card spot by beating the Texas Rangers 6-2 on Monday night.
"It's big ... just to come out here and beat this team," Myers said.
Texas remained a half-game ahead of Cleveland for the second AL wild-card spot.
Myers had a second-inning solo shot and hit a two-run double during a four-run fifth. Cobb (9-3) allowed two runs, six hits, one walk and had 10 strikeouts.
"At this point of the season, the position we're in, every game is going to get bigger and bigger," Cobb said. "Yesterday was the biggest game of the season, today is the biggest game of the season, tomorrow will be the biggest game of the season. I don't think it's unfair to say that. We realize the performance we have to put together out there every night, and I think we're up for it."
Matt Garza (9-6) gave up six runs and eight hits over 4 1-3 innings to lose his third straight start for the Rangers, who have lost seven in a row and are 2-12 in September. Garza is 3-5 with Texas since being acquired from the Chicago Cubs on July 22.
Texas has not held a lead during the current skid.
"I'm not frustrated, I'm confused," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "I'm trying to figure out what we have to do to jump-start this offence."
The announced crowd was just 10,724. The Rays entered with the major's lowest home attendance average of 18,747.
Tampa Bay went up 6-2 in the fifth. After James Loney and Evan Longoria both had RBI singles against Garza, Myers drove in two with a double off Jason Frasor.
"Those were really big knocks right there," Rays manager Joe Maddon said of Myers.
Garza, who was the MVP of the 2008 AL Championship Series when Tampa Bay beat Boston, pitched against the Rays for the first time since being traded to the Cubs on Jan. 8, 2011.
"My job is to help us get to October and I'm still going to keep trying, keep pushing, keep working and get ready in five days," Garza said. "Keep grinding."
The Rays took a 2-1 lead in the fourth on Desmond Jennings' sacrifice fly.
Texas pulled even at 2 during the fifth when Mitch Moreland, mired in an 0-for-22 slide, doubled and scored on Ian Kinsler's double. Kinsler was caught attempting to steal third to end the inning.
Myers put the Rays up 1-0 on his 13th homer, an opposite-field drive to right in the second.
Cobb retired nine in a row, including his first four batters on strikeouts, before Kinsler doubled to start the fourth. After advancing to third on a sacrifice bunt by Elvis Andrus, Kinsler got tagged out during a rundown on Alex Rios' grounder to third.
A.J. Pierzynski tied it at 1 later in the fourth with an RBI single.
Rangers centre fielder Leonys Martin made a strong defensive play in the third, throwing out Yunel Escobar, who tried to score from second on Ben Zobrist's single.
NOTES: Myers flew out to the centre field fence with the bases loaded to end the sixth. ... The Rangers held a players only meeting before batting practice. ... Rays reliever Jesse Crain (strained right shoulder) threw in a simulated game and will have his status evaluated Tuesday. ... Texas DH Lance Berkman (left hip and right knee) was in the starting lineup for the first time in two weeks and went 0 for 4. ... The Golf Channel's Holly Sonders used a golf club from in front of the mound to hit a ball to the plate for the ceremonial first pitch.

I hope someone can confirm this will work...
I have a NAS which houses my music and pics, which I want to back up. I've mapped a drive letter to each folder on my desktop PC, and made two Pairings. This is working fine and is now churning through 30+GB of files.
However, this machine is not always on, so I set up the same mappings / pairings on my laptop, as if the desktop is off, laptop will invariably be on and vice versa.
My questions are...
1. If, for example, I run the backup for a while on my desktop, turn it off and then boot up the laptop. Will the backup kick off from the same point? (as there's so many files to upload at the moment, it's hard to tell if it's starting from scratch or continuing)
2. If both machines are on at the same time running SafeSync, what will happen?
3. If I lose connection to the mapped drive for a period of time will SafeSync pick up when it reconnects? (A different backup solution I tried deleted the backup files if it lost connection to a shared drive as it assumed the files were gone!)
Thanks in advance

Does Spain Foreshadow Obama's America?
As Barack Obama tries to persuade American voters that converting the U.S. military into an extension of the Peace Corps is a bold demonstration of moral strength, in many ways Spain offers some foreshadowing of what can happen to a country that allows itself to be swept away by the post-modern pacifist rhetoric of its political class.
Since taking office in 2004, Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has worked assiduously to craft his own public persona as a "convinced pacifist." His first official act as pacifist-in-chief was, famously, to withdraw Spanish troops from Iraq, a decision that was not only wildly popular with Spanish voters, but also cemented Zapatero's pacifist credentials on the world stage.
A few months later, facing a barrage of criticism from non-pacifists at home and abroad that his Iraq policy amounted to appeasing Islamic terrorists, Zapatero reluctantly deployed extra troops to the NATO mission in Afghanistan. But just in case the deployment might cast doubt on his commitment to pacifistic ideals, Zapatero dictated strict rules of engagement that forbid Spanish troops in Afghanistan from using lethal force, a "caveat" that today essentially renders useless their presence in the country.
Later that same year, in his first speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Zapatero shed some light on his pacifist vision for achieving world peace. Using the flowery post-modern verbiage for which he is now famous, Zapatero declared: "Culture is always peace." He then went on to argue that Islamic terrorists are misunderstood and can only be defeated by sitting down with them in dialogue.
Zapatero has been careful to appoint only pacifists as Spanish ministers of defense. Zapatero's first defense minister, the controversial José Bono Martínez, proclaimed: "I am a minister of defense and I would rather be killed than to kill." He then issued orders prohibiting Spanish troops in Afghanistan from using lethal force on Taliban fighters.
Zapatero's second minister of defense, José Antonio Alonso Suárez, believed it was his job to demilitarize the Spanish military and to turn the newly disarmed forces into an NGO-like humanitarian organization instead. To achieve his vision, he purged from the senior ranks of the Spanish military those officers who refused to abandon the silly belief that the main purpose of the military is the defense of Spanish sovereignty.
In this same vein, Zapatero's third and most recent defense minister, Carme Chacón, recently said: "I am a pacifist, as are the armies of the 21st century." Again: "I am a pacifist woman, and the Army is also pacifist." What's more, Chacón hails from the independence-minded Catalan region and does not even believe in the concept of a united and indivisible Spanish nation.
All of which has some Spaniards wondering: What is the Spanish defense minister defending? The answer: Probably defending what could be called the Zapatero Doctrine, which, based on almost five years of political rhetoric, can be said to rest on three main post-modern "principles": 1) There is no type of threat that can ever justify the use of force; 2) militaries should be converted into humanitarian organizations used for civil protection rather than for the defense of sovereignty; and 3) there is no other source of legitimacy for the use of force apart from the United Nations, and if that body cannot reach consensus, it is better not to act than to act unilaterally.
But does Zapatero really practice what he preaches?

Tiny pieces of fire rock from inside the world can fly through the air all the way from a land near the top of the world with water all round that has lots of ice and lots of fire rock to the big place where two world-wide fights began when our parents parents (parents?) were young.
Fire rock came out two times in the last few years. I look at where the pieces have landed, and learn what the pieces are like. I also look at pieces that came out in a huge escape of fire rock in the ice-fire land about three tens of hundreds of years ago, and make a kind of land-picture of where they went.
Computers can tell me where they think that the pieces will land when the fire rock comes out. I want to use what I learn to make what the computers think more true and to be able to say what might happen if there is a huge coming up of fire rock again one day.

DO NOT buy this necklace unless you want a HEAVY necklace! i am a big man and this necklace is still heavy. the image and sizing are very accurate and i love this necklace!!
Real nice chain for the price. Just what i was looking for. Nice change from wearing gold all the time.
Absolutely love it, nice and heavy thick chain with a sexy shine to it. No one has one like it so that;s another bonus.
im just trying to figure out what company makes this product, and what the link type is called. .i mean i cant find any other necklaces even close to this one, the otheres look like a old style hand cuffs half ring with a bar ling. sorta like a potato peeler, like a kinda rounded Y ,This link looks clean, tight and kinda like a diamond shape, i looked everywhere on the web ,as least the trust worthy sites, this site is kinda making me mad, can some one tell me what the link is called, i want this, im a skinny dude but dont care about weight, i used to have a huge gold necklce as most know gold is heavyer than lead, so this dosnt concern me,
This necklace arrived and it looked exactly like the picture. The quality was excellent and I was excited when I took it out of the box. However, the other reviews posted here are spot-on...this necklace is HEAVY. It felt like I was wearing bricks around my neck! I am not that big a guy so regrettably I ended up sending the necklace back. Just be aware that it may be too heavy for your liking.
I love this necklace, its a classy big set chain! i get compliments all the time.

I'm getting used to these early mornings. We left the hotel at 7:30 AM and made our first stop to see Pastor Santos at his church. We had a few more gifts we wanted to leave for him and the church.

When I awoke this morning, my clock radio showed 7:00 AM, yet my cell phone showed 6:00 AM. Apparently, my cell phone automatically set the clock back an hour, so my …
Fun Day with the Sponsor Children
Today was another early start. We left the hotel at 7:00 AM and headed to the Compassion Head Office where we were once again warmly greeted by all the staff. The Director gave us some insight as to the top challenges in child development in El Salvador being violence, economy, health, education and vulnerability. Afterwards, we were given a tour …
Building Project Day #2 with Enlace
It was another early morning. I'm beginning to get used to these huge buffet breakfasts. Along with the usual eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, fresh fruit and pastry, I had a pupusa which is a traditional Salvadoran dish made of a thick, handmade corn tortilla that is usually filled with a blend of cheese, cooked pork meat and refried beans. However, I …

The nation's unemployment rate is 8.1 percent. But the unemployment rate of America's youngest military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan hovers at a stunning 29 percent, according to an op-ed Sunday in The Washington Post by Adm. Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Steven A. Cohen, founder of S.A.C. Capital Advisors.
"Consider that: Nearly one in three Americans who fought to defend us in distant lands cannot find a job here at home," Mullen and Cohen wrote.
Franchise leaders traveled to Chicago Sunday at a forum sponsored by Franchise Times to raise awareness about the crisis and efforts by the franchising industry to address it at the National Restaurant Show – the annual industry trade show of the National Restaurant Association. IFA Past Chairman and Tasti D-lite Chairman & CEO Jim Amos led a panel discussion that included Mary Kennedy Thompson, President, Mr. Rooter and VetFran Chair, Cici's Pizza Chief Development Officer Bill Spae, and Art Myers, Executive Director of the International Military Community Executives Association.
Amos started the discussion with a reference to history: "Anxious to forget an unpopular war and erase it from their memory, Americans in the wake of the Vietnam war also erased the returning vet," he said. "There are 58,270 names on the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, but more have committed suicide since then. What we don't want to do is let something like that happen again."
"The first and primary need that these folks have is a job," Amos said.
Thompson reported that VetFran's 460+ member companies are offering discounts and hiring initiatives that have led to new careers in franchising for over 2100 veterans since the launch of Operation Enduring Opportunity last fall. Over 120 of those are new franchise business owners.
CiCi's Pizza's Patriot program, for example, waives the franchise fee and cuts royalty payments in half for the first full year of business. "This is equal to a savings of $58,000 for each veteran," said Spae.
But serious challenges remain. Transition programs offered by the federal government have been widely criticized as inadequate. Requests by Cici's and others to publicize their career programs at military facilities have received little or no response.
"We see a lot of veterans who are homeless. As soon as the war wanes, people forget about them. That's why need to do something now, while the spotlight is on," Myers, a former Department of Defense official and Air Force veteran, said.
IFA members such as Domino's, Two Men & A Truck, FASTSIGNS, Tim Horton's, Genuine Parts, Zoup! Franchisee Richard Simtob, Moran Industries, Cici's and others are responding to the call by registering for first-ever "Taste of Franchising Pavilion" and hiring fair at the National Veterans Small Business Conference & Expo June 26-28 in Detroit. Over 15,000 veterans and high-level federal officials are expected at the event.
IFA Board Member and Secretary Melanie Bergeron of Two Men & a Truck is spearheading the effort with Don DeSmith of Servant Systems and Jan Muhleman of the Michigan FBN.
Here's how you can help:
1) Exhibit in the Taste of Franchising Pavilion. Foodservice brands are strongly encouraged to join this effort, also taking advantage of this significant marketing opportunity to veterans and members of the military, that the organizers have asked the IFA to pull together. This is to market your brand and to celebrate the vets. The cost is $3,100.00 for an exhibit booth. Please contact Josh Merin at IFA at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
2) Attend the free Hiring Fair during the event. There is no charge to participate. The price of admission is at least one job to offer a veteran. Please click here for more information and to register.
3) Join the IFA at the IFA/Michigan FBN Salute to Veterans Reception in the Taste of Franchising Pavilion June 26 at 5:00 pm.
Without jobs and opportunities, our veterans are at risk of crippling debt, family problems and even depression and suicide. That's why Melanie Bergeron says, "We Michigan zors need to rally to the cause." Franchisors from across the nation are following her lead.

Want to know what the finest minds in history had to say about things like politics, science, love, death, art, philosophy and war? Go straight to the source.
At St. John's College "Where
Great Books Are The Teachers," the idea is that a thinking mind can evolve under the
guidance of these learned tomes. Thus, you'll find no "professors"
here. Faculty members are called "tutors," and their
principle job is not to lecture in their respective
fields of expertise, but rather to guide students
through a course of study. Grades? Someone writes them
down someplace, but students don't get report cards as
such. Instead, they meet with their tutors for
twice-yearly discussions intended to gauge each
student's intellectual performance.
With a student/faculty ratio of 8 to 1, class size is intimate. "Tutorials" may draw only a handful of
students, while "seminars" and laboratory classes max
out at about 20 people.
The seminar is far from the typical notion of a lecture. Two tutors preside, but the format depends on
student discussions. Based on their readings from
among the original texts that make up the core
curriculum, students are encouraged to offer their own
thoughts and analyses in order to explore the issues
at hand. Thus, the diverse skills needed for reasoning
and communicating can develop hand-in-hand.
This participatory learning style is not for the weak-willed.
With just 450 students, there's really no place to
hide. Anyone coming here had better be prepared to
speak up.
The school is not entirely without formal pedagogy.
Each Friday evening the entire student body gets together
to hear a formal lecture by a faculty member or
visiting scholar. It's the only regular lecture forum
in the curriculum, and even in this setting students
are expected to subject the speaker to a lengthy
post-lecture grilling.
As for admissions criteria, the school looks first
for strong academic and intellectual achievement --
"though any accomplishment showing initiative and
drive may strengthen an application," according to
information put out by the admissions office. There
are no minimum grades needed, and the SAT is optional.
The heart of the application is a series of personal
essays, and candidates with weak grades can make up for it with strong essays.
The campus in downtown Annapolis practically oozes
collegiate charm. Nineteenth-century brick buildings
back up against a contemporary facility that houses an
art museum, as well as an auditorium named after the
school's most famous graduate, national anthem author
Francis Scott Key. By night, students gather in a
subterranean coffee house. By day some linger on the
spacious green lawns beside College Creek, while
others assemble under ancient trees to prepare for the
big croquet tournament -- an annual athletic contest held in April and enacted with their arch-rivals from the nearby U.S.
Naval Academy.
When all that charm gets stale, students have the
option of heading out west. At its campus in Santa Fe,
N.M., the college offers a curriculum identical to the
Annapolis program. Each campus handles its own
admissions process, but students from Annapolis can
transfer to the Santa Fe facility.

Have screening. Will travel.
by Todd Boss, poet
Last night I drove three hours north from the Twin Cities to the tiny log cabin library in Cable, Wisconsin, where 15 people had come out of the woods on a Thursday night to hear me read my poetry and show a few motionpoems. I've read my poetry and screened Motionpoems' films for groups of hundreds, but I love doing events like these where I can get to know individual audience members and get their feedback on the work.
This one proved to be a tremendous audience with intelligent questions and a strong thirst for more. I like a plain-spoken audience that isn't trying to outsmart fellow academics, and I love unbridled enthusiasm; I find it in abundance at community events like these.
Thanks to librarian Kristine Lendved for arranging this event.
If your library, community center, bookstore, or school would like to order a Motionpoems screening kit or arrange an event, let me know, or inquire at motionpoems.com.
