Daily Click Sites
Clicking on the "Click Here to Give" button on the home page of The Hunger Site, The Breast Cancer Site, The Animal Rescue Site, and all of our other Click-to-Give sites is free to the visitor. 100% of the money from sponsor advertising is given to the charity partners of each site by GreaterGood.org. You are not required to provide any personal information to visit our suite of GreaterGood sites or to make your daily, free click.
Site visitors may also help protect animals or people by signing petitions or taking actions which attempt to influence legislation or convince the targets of the campaigns to act differently. Site visitors may voluntarily provide personal information to sign a "Take Action!" campaign, share a story, photograph, testimonial or other comment with the GreaterGood community, sign up for an e-newsletter or click reminder emails, or to participate in other site activities as we offer them. See below for how we use this information.
Take Action Campaigns
Signing a "Take Action!" campaign gives you a method to impact public policy in ways that connect to the core issues of our Click-to-Give sites. When you sign a "Take Action!" campaign at any one of the GreaterGood sites, you are required to provide certain personal information such as name, email address and sometimes street address so it can be shared with the target of the campaign in order to influence the outcome of legislation or change policies in order to help people or animals. This personal information is required to validate your campaign signature. All personal information you provide when signing a petition or participating in a "Take Action!" campaign, including name, address, city, state, country, and comments are considered public information and will be provided to the target of the campaign (for example, sending a letter and petition to the Surgeon General). Specific targets for a campaign will be clearly identified within each campaign. Your city, state, country, and comments will also be visible on the Click-to-Give site(s) associated with the campaign. Your name will also be visible on the site unless you have checked the "Do not display my name" checkbox at the time of signing. We will not display street or email addresses entered into the proper "Email" or "Address" fields during signing. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these campaigns.
CharityUSA hosts two kinds of campaigns: campaigns sponsored by its own suite of cause sites and campaigns sponsored by nonprofits. At the time of signing you will have an opportunity to indicate whether or not you wish to receive communication from any third-party nonprofit sponsor of the campaign. If you do not opt-out of such communications, CharityUSA will send your contact information to the third-party nonprofit sponsoring the campaign. If you opt-out of receiving such online offers, CharityUSA will not share your name, email address, or other signing information with the nonprofit sponsor.
Share Your Story/Visitor Testimonials/Comments/Reviews
When we post visitor stories, testimonials, comments, or reviews on our web site, these may contain personally identifiable information such as name, city, and state. We obtain consent in the submission form prior to posting the story, testimonial, comment, or review. At the time of submission you may also choose the "Do not display my name" option, which will replace your name with "Anonymous".
Communications from the Site
E-cards & Email Product to a Friend
If you choose to send an e-card or email a product description to a friend, we will ask you for your name and email address, and for your recipient's name and email address. We will automatically send your chosen recipients a one-time email to view the e-card or product and to invite him or her to visit the site. CharityUSA does not store, sell, trade or otherwise use any name or email address you share here for purposes other than to deliver your message.
If you wish to subscribe to our e-newsletter(s), we will use your name and email address to send a periodic email to you. We provide unsubscribe options with each and every email sent in this manner. This is also summarized in the "Choice and Opt-out" section.
Special Offers and Updates
Once you've shopped with us in one of our do-good stores, we will periodically send you information on products, services, special deals, and promotions. You may opt-out of receiving these types of communications during checkout. This is also summarized in the "Choice and Opt-out" section. Subscribers are the first to be notified of start dates of major sales and other promotions, and periodically receive subscriber-exclusive offers which are great deals and free products available only to registered users who continue to receive our updates.
Service-related Announcements
We will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email. You may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature.
You do not need an account to make a daily free click or to purchase anything from our store. If you choose to create an account, we request and store your name, email address, and a password to give you access to and to protect your account. We also give you an opportunity during checkout to save your billing and shipping addresses in order to provide a speedier and more convenient checkout experience in the future. We do not store any credit card data in your account.
When you purchase something at one of the GreaterGood stores, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form. During checkout, you will be asked to give your billing address, shipping address, phone number and email address. We use your email address to confirm your order, and in case there are any problems with your order. Phone numbers are occasionally used to communicate with you about your order only. Credit card information is encrypted and used for order billing only: we do not save your credit card information. During checkout you will be able to sign up for special offers and updates, an email sent approximately once a week. You may unsubscribe at any time. Instructions for unsubscribing are included in each email sent.
CharityUSA uses third parties such as a payment processor to bill you for goods and services, and in some cases a third-party drop shipping company to ship your order. For fulfillment purposes, our drop ship vendors are notified of your name, shipping, and email addresses. These companies do not retain, share, store, or otherwise use personally identifiable information for any other purposes. These third parties are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for promotional purposes.
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our website.
Gifts That Give More™
When you make an online donation by purchasing a Gift That Gives More™, we share your personal information with our nonprofit, independent partner, GreaterGood.org. You will receive your US tax receipt from GreaterGood.org upon completing your donation and may also receive a direct donation appeal from GreaterGood.org. 100% of the money you contribute via a Gift That Gives More™ is given to GreaterGood.org to be used for the purposes specified; we even cover bank and credit card charges in order to ensure that 100% goes to the charitable purpose you intend. Information about which organizations are granted money contributed through the Gift That Gives More™ program is available on the GreaterGood.org website.
Links/Electronic Log Files/Cookies
Each of our sites contains links to other sites, including sponsor sites and other philanthropic sites. CharityUSA is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such sites and encourages you to review these companies' privacy policies.
Log Files
As is true of most sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in electronic log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information. We use this information to understand how our websites are used to better meet the needs of our visitors and customers. We use IP address to identify and block malicious behavior like click fraud or denial of service attacks.
You do not have to accept cookies in order to click and have your click count, or to shop with us.
We use electronic cookies to recognize your computer as a returning visitor. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. Our sites use cookies to keep track of your shopping cart. If you have entered something into your shopping cart on a previous visit, your cookie saves these items for your return visit. We cookie customer order IDs, and protect this information by encrypting it, and we delete the cookie upon successful order authorization.
You may disable cookies from your browser's configuration menu at any time.

This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by this Site only and does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties.
In any case, you are not required to accept cookies to click.
Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see "Choice and Opt-out."
CharityUSA partners with a third party ad network to both display advertising on our own Web sites and to manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partner uses cookies and Web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information about your activities on this and other Web sites to provide you targeted advertising based upon your interests, and to provide you relevant advertising through retargeting when you leave the site. If you do not want this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt-out by clicking here http://preferences.truste.com/. Please note that this does not opt you out of being served advertising--generic ads will continue to appear.
CharityUSA constantly uses aggregate and non-personally recognizable data about our customers both internally and using external providers, including Facebook and Google, to try to understand customer concerns and provide better products and promotions. We segment our data and email lists by issue area of concern, and also by type of product purchased, recency, frequency, and monetary value of purchase, which charitable gifts have been given, and other demographic and geographic data.
We don't sell or rent our email lists. We do use our email lists to create profiles of our shoppers and clickers in order to market to similar people. We use outside groups, including Facebook, to help us in this effort, but we don't allow outside groups to contact our shoppers or customers. These contractors help us create profiles of our shoppers, so we can market to similar people on other sites. This marketing is subject to the privacy policies of whatever site we are buying these ads on, and is not subject to our privacy policies.
We will use information that we have about your shopping or clicking behavior to provide you better quality offers and promotions, and to help us understand and serve our customers better.
Your comfort and security while shopping with us are important. We have multiple ways of protecting our customers:
- We do not save or store your credit card number.
- We use encrypted URLs on our storefronts. Encrypted , which begin with an "https" instead of the plain-text protocol of "http".
- Our site security keys use the highest industry standard for encryption.
- We abide by a set of rigorous standards about how personal information can be used, and have earned the seal of approval from TRUSTe Certified Privacy. TRUSTe's seal appears at the bottom of the page, where shoppers can click to go to the TRUSTe site and verify that our company's validation is up-to-date.
- For tips on how to tell if a website is secure, see How to shop online more safely.
For your protection, we do not keep your credit card information on file. Your billing information is securely transmitted to our payment processor one time only. Our payment processor adheres to the highest standards to protect your information. Our security measures and internal processes are designed to ensure that your billing information is kept secure while we process your order. Your privacy is always protected.

The next stage was to develop an automatic system that would distribute the grey water into the garden and have the following features.
1) Filter the water before sending it to the garden.
2) Automatic pump to allow water to be delivered to the high end of the garden.
3) Timer to prevent water stagnating in the tank.
The system uses a wheeled trash bin which is made out of 5mm thick plastic (nice and sturdy). Grey water comes into the top of the bin into a filter. When the bin fills to around 3/4 full, a water level switch triggers the pump controller to turn on the pump sitting at the bottom of the bin. The pump continues to operate until the lower water level switch is triggered.
The pump controller also has some logic built into the program to detect if water is in the bin but not high enough to operate the high water level switch. If this situation occurs, at 10 hour timer is started. If the water stays in the bin for 10 hours the pump will start and empty the bin. This stops the water from stagnating. I also have another timer that detects the run time of the pump. If the pump runs for longer than an hour (without any of the level switches being triggered) then the fault LED will be lit and all pumping will stop. This would indicate that the output pipe is blocked.
Good to see someone thinking ahead. You could use a similar system to pump grey water with a submersible pump. You could use a pump with a rigid float and a timer on the power source. This way you could set the system up with a much lower volume of water to get it started. It would also save you having to design a controller but it looks like you are pretty good with that anyway :)
for those interested in grey-water systems, check out Art Ludwig's 'laundry to landscape' system. It's similar to slemke's but uses the washing machine pump to directly deliver the water to the mulch-beds, bypassing the need for a sump/bilge pump. I believe Art also uses a fairly large bore pipe to avoid lint blockages.
Here's the link... http://www.oasisdesign.net/greywater/laundry/index.php
Now if you put some sponge rox in your filter as directed at ausis sponge rox page you would be helping the environment greatly.
Reducing heavy metal bioaccumulation we understand is a big phrase to digest however it is described simply as follows: Heavy metal bioaccumulation such as in large fish they build up toxic levels of mercury which we all know is poisonous, our sponge rox help in reducing heavy metal bioaccumulation by trapping these poisons FOREVER...
Easy solutions..?
Laundry detergents generally contain things that gardens don't like in big quantities, such as salt and phosphorous, so best just to buy detergents that are formulated specifically for grey water systems. Here in Aus, there are an increasing number of brands that produce such a product, and it would appear the market is growing. If your supermarket doesn't stock these, maybe you could buy online. So detergent worries could be easily sorted when you buy. Hand soap or shower products (shampoos etc) are a little more tricky, so be cautious about using your shower/hand basin water too.
Pumps are used in the boating industry a lot, especially water-level-triggered bilge pumps. They're almost always 12V so should be easy to hook up to a common, or garden variety, mains transformer. Now unfortunately, as soon as you attach the word "boat" to any product, you can almost double the price, so you'll have to shop around, but there are loads of different models and capacities available. Why not Google it?
Web references:
There is a gardening programme that has been airing in Aus for years. They publish "fact sheets" about all sorts of things:
Check out these guys too:
Heck! Why not just Google "grey water"...?
The plants seem to be growing better with the gray water. I also use a lot of mulch around the plants to stop evaporation. As the water is delivered underground via seepage you can water the vegetable garden. If you where delivering the water above ground, this wouldn't be a good idea as the waste water could sit on the leaves etc. After all you put manure in your soil.
The filter is made from plastic fly screen material normally found on windows (to keep insects out). I sewed the screen material so it forms a bag. The opening of the bag is mounted on a 6" circular aluminum frame. The filter doesn't filter chemicals rather it stops lint from clogging up the tubes and pump. The cleaning sensor is a float that moves up and operates a switch when the filter gets so clogged with lint that the water overflows over the top of the filter. Note you have to mount the sensor and the top of the filter above the high water level to prevent false triggering.
The float switches I purchased are from a company in Australia called Jaycar . The vertical float switch for the filter is from Altronics
Hope this info has answered most question.

Breaking news from our Raise the Bar, Hershey! Campaign:
Hershey announced today that it will move its chocolate to 100% certification by 2020, though the company remains vague on which certifications, and on incremental benchmarks.
Nonetheless, we welcome this announcement and urge Hershey to reveal its plan for moving all its product lines to certified cocoa by its 2020 deadline. We also want to emphasize that not all certifications are equal, especially when it comes to addressing the Worst Forms of Child Labor in the West African cocoa sector.
Thank you again for your support in this campaign. Please consider making a donation here to ILRF's ongoing work to end child labor and other abusive labor practices.
Many thanks,
Sean & the Raise the Bar, Hershey! Coalition
Coalition members include Global Exchange, Green America, and International Labor Rights Forum.

15 U.S. Code § 4101 - Congressional findings and declaration of purposes
prev | next
(a) The Congress finds and declares that—
(1) the Arctic, onshore and offshore, contains vital energy resources that can reduce the Nation's dependence on foreign oil and improve the national balance of payments;
(3) the renewable resources of the Arctic, specifically fish and other seafood, represent one of the Nation's greatest commercial assets;
(4) Arctic conditions directly affect global weather patterns and must be understood in order to promote better agricultural management throughout the United States;
(5) industrial pollution not originating in the Arctic region collects in the polar air mass, has the potential to disrupt global weather patterns, and must be controlled through international cooperation and consultation;
(6) the Arctic is a natural laboratory for research into human health and adaptation, physical and psychological, to climates of extreme cold and isolation and may provide information crucial for future defense needs;
(7) atmospheric conditions peculiar to the Arctic make the Arctic a unique testing ground for research into high latitude communications, which is likely to be crucial for future defense needs;
(8) Arctic marine technology is critical to cost-effective recovery and transportation of energy resources and to the national defense;
(9) the United States has important security, economic, and environmental interests in developing and maintaining a fleet of icebreaking vessels capable of operating effectively in the heavy ice regions of the Arctic;
(10) most Arctic-rim countries possess Arctic technologies far more advanced than those currently available in the United States;
(11) Federal Arctic research is fragmented and uncoordinated at the present time, leading to the neglect of certain areas of research and to unnecessary duplication of effort in other areas of research;
(12) improved logistical coordination and support for Arctic research and better dissemination of research data and information is necessary to increase the efficiency and utility of national Arctic research efforts;
(13) a comprehensive national policy and program plan to organize and fund currently neglected scientific research with respect to the Arctic is necessary to fulfill national objectives in Arctic research;
(14) the Federal Government, in cooperation with State and local governments, should focus its efforts on the collection and characterization of basic data related to biological, materials, geophysical, social, and behavioral phenomena in the Arctic;
(15) research into the long-range health, environmental, and social effects of development in the Arctic is necessary to mitigate the adverse consequences of that development to the land and its residents;
(16) Arctic research expands knowledge of the Arctic, which can enhance the lives of Arctic residents, increase opportunities for international cooperation among Arctic-rim countries, and facilitate the formulation of national policy for the Arctic; and
(b) The purposes of this chapter are—

Unfortunatey, like our Miami Dolphins in the month of december, we will be fading down the stretch. The one difference is that it will be entirely out of our hands. Winter break begins next week, and that means this week is finals week. With three exams on Thursday, I have no choice but to not have a show tonight. it's a shame too, because there is plenty to talk about.
The University of Central Florida campus also shrinks their open hours, and since we are on just after prime time (10 pm-Midnight EST), we will not have access to the Knightcast Studio. My co-host Drew (Outtawack311) and I will be commuting back and forth from Orlando to the Ft. Lauderdale/Coral Springs area until January.
The new semester starts around January 10th, and we look to resume the radio show starting that Wednesday, but this is all subject to change.
Sorry for the disappointing news but it's something we just could not avoid.
Happy Holidays (Happy Hanukah to all of the jews out there by the way)

On Facebook, whenever a friend of mine does something with a Facebook application he/she uses, a post appears on my wall related to that. I can click on that post and select "Hide xxxxx application" to eliminate future disturbances. Is it possible to disable those annoying posts completely?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Web Applications Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for power users of web applications. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There is a greasemonkey script for blocking all pending invitations you currently have but there is obviously no way to block all applications in facebook with one click - this would pretty much destroy the whole business model of facebook.
It shouldn't be too stressful to block the apps as they come - I did this for one week and now it happens VERY VERY rarely that I ever see a new app on my wall. There are 5 to 10 annoying apps that are wide spread - once you blocked them it should be very quiet on your wall.

To disable the Facebook apps platform, log in to your Facebook account, select Privacy Settings under Account and then click "Edit your settings" under the Applications and Websites section. Here you'll see an option to turn off all the platform applications with a single click

Recipe by Chef John
"Yes, cooking prosciutto does make dishes salty, but the taste of this dish is actually quite mild and pleasant to my palate."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 bunch
fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon
extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon
olive oil
2 ounces
minced prosciutto
ground black pepper
1 teaspoon
distilled white vinegar
1 pinch
lemon, zested and juiced
1 pinch
ground black pepper
What an excellent breakfast this made! I toasted a slice of baguette in the pan that I cooked the Prosciutto in which was a great addition. My asparagus wasn't very thick so it only took about 10 total to roast. Thanks for another great recipe, Chef John.
Just finished this dish and loved it. Minor changes - used bacon since that's all I had on hand and didn't use any oil, just a little bacon fat w/the bacon pieces and salt and pepper on the asparagus. As someone else mentioned - great low carb dish and healthy (if you don't use too much bacon;). Next time I might try some grated Parmesan on top.
17 Ratings
I had this for dinner tonight with a baguette. It's great for one person but also easy enough to make for a group. Don't skip the lemon zest at the end!
I could eat this any time of day, breakfast, lunch or dinner. Made it twice in the past week; so good, especially with all the fresh spring asparagus around. It's just so simple and elegant. I've had asparagus with proscuitto and asparagus with lemon, and asparagus with egg (not poached), but never all together. Very creative and easy recipe that turns my favorite vegetable into a substantial and delicious meal. Thanks again Chef John, another great recipe. I'm becoming a huge fan!
What an underrated recipe! This was the best asparagus recipe I have ever had the pleasure of making and eating. The egg part was a bit tricky to make but on the second try it came out perfect, just be patient with that part if its your first time cooking your egg in such a way. Watch the video its very helpful.
This was incredible! Hubs made it as one of the 2 meals he cooks every week. I was amazed at how filling a few shoots of asparagus and an egg was. And the lemon zest pushed it right over the top. He made it exactly as written and we will eat this often. Chef John rules! Again!
This was really very good! Invited my daughter and grandkids over for breakfast, everyone loved it. Thanks!
I used just normal supermarket ham and it was still great!..Thanks for a great recipe. Since I made it for lunch, I ate it with Sirloin steak :)

What a Gem: What to Know About Sunstone July 22 2015 - Catherine Angiel, 0 Comments
Here comes the sun(stone)
If you want baubles that sparkle as bright as the sun, look no further than sunstone. Sunstone, a distinctive gemstone and a plagioclase feldspar mineral, exhibits a brilliant spangled glow that will add the perfect sunny sparkle-and-shine to your jewelry box. Little known in the United States until the early 1900s, when an abundant sunstone field was found in an ancient lava desert in Oregon, sunstone encourages independence, leadership, and originality in its wearer.
Orange Sunstone

How did these three qualities become synonymous with sunstone? The gem's history stretches much further than its commercial popularity. Native American legend states that a great warrior's blood, wounded by an arrow during battle, dropped onto pieces of sunstone; his spirit, carried by his blood, permeated the stones and transferred his extraordinary qualities to them.
Catherine Angiel Intricate Sunstone Rings
As such, sunstone is typically found in orange, red, and yellow hues. The rarest types of sunstone – dark blue and green in color – are hard to come by; sunstone's origin, at the foot of basaltic volcanoes, gives it a distinctive yet subtle bronzed glow that is highly sought after by jewelers and customers alike.
Blue-Green Sunstone

Sunstone is also used in crystal healing for a multitude of purposes – general health, physical energy, phobias, and stress-related illnesses. Just wearing sunstone on your finger or around your neck or wrist can help to alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety. In healing, sunstone is associated with the sacral chakra, which helps its wearer to experience life fully through feeling and sensation and, thus, allows him or her to – literally! – live life to the fullest.
Summer Weddings and What to Wear July 09 2015 - Catherine Angiel, 0 Comments
Pairing your baubles with the dress
The midst of wedding season coincides with the midst of summer's dead heat. As the temperature rises, your main fashion focus is staying cool – not standing out. Lucky for you, that's where fine jewelry comes in! Sparkly, one-of-a-kind custom pieces can personalize your outfit without adding an extra layer of clothing (or sweat!). Whether you're the bride, a bridesmaid, or a guest, your outfit for the big day is never complete without a little something you to complement your something new. Our four favorite bridal picks have you covered all the way to the altar (and beyond!).
Our delicate, diamond-encrusted Moroccan flower necklace is the new black – it goes with anything! A gorgeous topper to your wedding gown or a unique memento gift for your bridal party, its custom design lends itself seamlessly to versatility. Inspired by vibrant, unique Moroccan prints and patterns, the necklace will go straight from your wedding day wardrobe to your everyday wardrobe.
Even if you already have a ring on that finger, don't forget about the other four! Add a few simple diamond (or black diamond) stacking bands and a rose gold midi ring to your hand to stay on top of the latest jewelry trend (multi-layered rings have recently been worn by Rihanna, Sarah Jessica Parker, and J.Lo, so you're in good company!). The one-of-a-kind rings are perfect for adding a boho twist to a bridesmaid dress, or upping the edge on an alternative-style bridal gown.
The perfect date for any wedding is a custom Catherine Angiel bracelet on your arm. With our delicate, handcrafted pyrite bracelet, you'll never have to worry about blending into the crowd! Pyrite has been used in jewelry-making for centuries, reaching the height of its popularity during the Victorian era (and making it the perfect fit for a vintage-style bride). The 24 strands of faceted beads close around your wrist with the help of Cat's custom, intricate sterling silver tribal closure lock. The fine-but-fierce pyrite bracelet blends the traditionalism of older times with the modernity of today and, just like you, it never goes out of style.
Don't worry – we didn't forget the dudes! Spice up your suit by picking up a pair of our unique black diamond cufflinks. Cat's signature cross is constructed with dazzling black diamonds that contrast beautifully with the cufflinks' white gold seal-style backing; they're the perfect complement to any suit or tux. Inspired by the jewelry of 15th century royalty, the custom cufflinks make a great gift for your groomsmen or an awesome accessory for your ushers. They're also a celebrity favorite; Ethan Hawke wore his own personal pair to this year's Golden Globes!
Which piece will you be picking up for wedding season? Tell us in the comments.
NYC Pride Week 2015 June 25 2015 - Catherine Angiel, 0 Comments
Greenwich Village History
Greenwich Village has a long history as a battleground for gay rights; it was the site of 1969's Stonewall Riots and 1970's succeeding inaugural Christopher Street Pride March. Today, more than 40 years after its inception right here in Greenwich, New York City's Pride Week and Pride March continue to be a triumphant tradition of taking pride and rejoicing in the LGBT community. Every summer, we are proud to celebrate the weeklong festivities along with the rest of the city.
Catherine is a long-time advocate for equality and for same-sex marriage. When she opened her store in Greenwich Village in 1993, she wanted all of her customers to feel proud of and to celebrate their commitment to each other. Determined to create a safe haven for her gay customers, Cat knew there needed to be an official, special name for same-sex couples' rings; their unions were just as sacred and loving as those who could legally marry – and they were just as committed to each other for life. Thus, she coined the term "commitment band" for the rings, which soon became – and which still remains – a globally utilized term.
However, Cat wasn't finished being a crusader for gay rights on both the national and international stages. During the summer of 1993, she was on the cover of Newsweek's groundbreaking "Lesbians: Coming Out Strong" issue. The lead article, entitled "The Power And The Pride," broke the barriers surrounding homosexuality in the media and gave a face to whom the article called the "invisible homosexual" – the lesbian. The issue inspired global conversation regarding the treatment of homosexuality in society and in the media.
Today, Cat continues to push boundaries and to be proud of who she is. Her custom, badass "Dangerous" fine jewelry collection includes a tattoo-inspired "Queer" necklace; she has designed a myriad of unique, custom commitment bands for same-sex couples (which, after SCOTUS' affirmative ruling on gay marriage on June 26, can now serve as wedding bands!). Cat's designs are personal to each customer; her pieces help every individual to celebrate their own unique identity.
Happy Pride, NYC!

Don't just say it with diamonds – make a statement. The personalized pendant necklaces, each adorned with unique black or gray diamonds, make a statement and then some! The pieces are custom-made to complement your one-of-a-kind, unique style; finally, your jewelry can be as much of an individual as you are.

Let your necklace do the talking by pairing up the pendants (as shown above) with a word or message. Looking to spread the love? "XO"! Feeling badass? "BAD"! There are no limits to the mixes and matches you can make with a personalized "Dangerous" letter pendant or necklace in your arsenal.

Celebrity bling on the streets of NY June 15 2015 - Catherine Angiel, 0 Comments
Lourdes Leon, like mother like daughter
Catherine Angiel's customizable, diamond-encrusted initial necklace is proving to be the hottest jewelry item of the NYC summer! Madonna's daughter, Lourdes Leon, was spotted out in Soho this weekend wearing Cat's tribal-graffiti-inspired piece (in "L," rose gold).
Lourdes put her own cool-girl-chic spin on the piece by pairing it with a multitude of mixed-metal necklaces, a graphic tee, and a gray skirt. Superb style runs in the family; Mama Madonna owns Catherine's black diamond "M" earrings from the same collection – and she wore them in her recent "Ghosttown" music video!
Even if you weren't lucky enough to be descended from the original pop princess (and, let's be real, most of us weren't!), don't let it prevent you from staying in rhythm with sensational style. Stop into 43 Greenwich Avenue and get personal with an initial necklace of your own!
NYC is hot and so are the jewelry trends June 10 2015 - Catherine Angiel, 0 Comments
What to wear this summer
With only eleven days left until the summer solstice (mark your calendars – it falls on June 21), it's time to peel off the warm winter layers and to put on some hot summer jewelry. We've handpicked a few of our favorite summer selections to help you start your summer off the right way – in style.
Full finger rings aren't for the faint of heart, but even the shyest of wallflowers will find herself shining in our champagne diamond full finger ring. The intricate, shield-style floral design paired with delicate, champagne-colored diamonds will have you ready to pop open a bottle of your favorite rosé and hit the beach.
Neither your jewelry nor your worries should weigh you down this summer, so choose light-but-bright pieces that allow for maximum movement (what edgy-chic chick isn't ready to bust a move at the first signs of her favorite song?). Our diamond hoop earrings are the perfect complement to your halter-tops, short-shorts, or sundresses. No matter what adventures you find this summer, these hoops won't cramp your style; they'll perfect it.
Whether you're queen of the beach volleyball court or princess of the pool, make this summer a royal flush – not a royal bust. Our gold crown stud earrings are perfect for dressing up your favorite pair of jeans on Friday afternoon or spicing up your little black dress on Saturday night (not to mention, they make the perfect golden pair with your golden summer tan!). Before long, Kate Middleton will be taking style tips from you.
It takes courage to brave the sky-high New York City summer temperatures; wear your nerve around your neck with our kanji courage symbol necklace. With a unique and intricate orange sapphire chain paired with an orange diamond encrusted pendant, you'll be a fierce warrior of style all throughout the summer – and beyond.

Morganite the Newly Discovered Gem July 25 2014 - Catherine Angiel, 0 Comments
Raw and feminine
An engagement ring is supposed to sweep the receptor off of their feet, while also providing them with a meaningful token of love that will last for an eternity. If you have found the perfect setting and you are looking to put a little more meaning into your engagement ring, consider using a morganite for the center stone, as opposed to the more traditional diamond!
Morganite is a gem named for J.P. Morgan, a financier and a gem-enthusiast. The stone is known to bring healing, compassion, assurance, and promise, making this perfect to place inside of a ring for your other half. Morganite is said to attract one's soulmate or bring a couple that is already in a relationship even deeper into their love. In addition to these loving properties, morganite reduces stress in those who wear it, especially if it is worn for a long time.
The pink hue of morganite evokes a very romantic feeling. The warmth of the rose gold and the pink of the morganite creates a unique style that your significant other will absolutely love!!

Unique Minerals Celebrated June 20 2014 - Catherine Angiel, 0 Comments
All that glitters isn't always gold & who cares
Recently jewelry artist Catherine Angiel has been inspired by pyrite, an earth mineral that most people know as 'Fool's Gold'. Pyrite has been used to make jewelry for centuries, reaching the height of its popularity during the Victorian era. A mineral that evokes images of fire and warmth, pyrite literally comes from the Greek word for fire, Catherine found that it fit right in with her modern-vintage aesthetic. Aside from being known as 'Fool's Gold', pyrite has been called 'healer's gold' and is used as a gemstone for protection and promoting a happy state of mind.
Pyrite is perfect for those who are looking for something different to add to their jewelry box, while maintaining an overall glamorous feeling.
Celebrating Gay Pride in NYC | Harvey Milk Day! May 28 2014 - Catherine Angiel, 0 Comments
Harvey Milk Day
Today is a very special day in the LGBT community. Not only is is Harvey Milk Day/what would've been his 84th birthday, but today the White House Office of Public Engagement, the United States Postal Service and Harvey Milk Foundation, will host a first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony for the Harvey Milk Forever Stamp at the White House.
Harvey Milk was a true visionary for the LGBT community when he became the fist openly gay man to hold a major political position on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. All of his tremendous achievements gave hope to a community who at the time were encountered by such widespread discrimination and hostility. Harvey Milk believed that government should represent all citizens, ensuring equality and providing needed services.
Unfortunately on November 27, 1978, less than a year after he took office, Harvey Milk, along with Mayor George Moscone, was assassinated by supervisor Daniel White.
Harvey Milk has become an icon and a martyr for gay rights. His bravery and determination is the motivation for the modern day gay rights movement.

The Who May 02 2014 - Catherine Angiel, 0 Comments
This year marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most legendary bands The Who. So what better way to celebrate than by sharing with all of you one of the most amazing moments of my life!
When I was 14 years old, my mom took my brother and I on vacation to the Fountainbleau Hotel in Miami.
I was sitting in the lobby, bored out of my mind, when a beautiful, poised woman sat next to me and started talking to me. Turns out it was Swedish supermodel Annette Walter-Lax! Then a man walked up to her and told her he would meet her at the hotel restaurant, then walked away.
I looked up and my jaw hit the floor. I then turned to Annette,
Me: "Do you know who that was?!"
Annette: "My boyfriend."
Me: "Oh my God!! You're boyfriend is Keith Moon?! He's my IDOL!!!"
Annette: "Would you like to meet him?"
I thought I was going to die.
Me: "YES!!"
She then arranged a time for us to meet the following afternoon. I couldn't believe it!
The next day, I could not get ready fast enough! I put on my favorite Who t-shirt, my favorite white overalls and headed right to the hotel lobby.
At 4:00, the elevator doors opened, and there he stood, my idol. He had on a killer white suit and a walking stick. So boss. He then walked over to me, bowed, and kissed my hand!!!
Keith Moon: "Catherine, I'm Keith and it's a pleasure to meet you."
I had no words.
Keith Moon: "Would you like to go to the bah?"
Me: "What's a bah?"
He then pointed to the Poodle Lounge. Oh, he was saying BAR. Duh, Catherine!
So off we went to sit and chat about music and so, so much more. It was surreal. Just as I thought the moment couldn't get any better, Keith asks,
Keith Moon: "Would you like to meet Roger Daltrey?"
I could only nod my head yes.
Keith called his room and then 10 minutes later, Roger freakin' Daltrey walks in and gives me a big hug! So COOL!
The three of us talked for a while but I could barely understand a word they were saying! Being a girl from Queens, I had never heard a British accent before! However, they were so kind, generous and made me feel so special!
I'll never forget meeting my idol in such an amazing way. It was then I realized dreams really do come true.
...best vacation EVER!

Edgy Engagement Rings April 17 2014 - Catherine Angiel, 0 Comments
For the bride who wants something edgy and different
Fancy grey diamond is the ideal choice!
While the word "grey" can carry negative connotation, especially when compared to a white, colorless diamond, the dramatic silver tones in fancy grey diamonds have a unique beauty all their own. These fancy grey diamonds have their own metallic sparkle and combine many different undertones of violets, greens, yellows and blues to create an extraordinary brilliance. Fancy grey diamonds can actually be more eye catching and beautiful than the classic white diamond.
It's the perfect diamond for the woman who wants to stand apart but still have the traditional symbolism of a diamond ring.

If the "fiscal cliff" controversy isn't enough to convince you this government is one big fraud, what will it take? The budget mess was delivered to us by the same people who every step of the way claimed to be acting in our best interest. Let that sink in. Every president and every member of Congress assured us that their fiscal policies would produce prosperity and employment.
What did that bipartisan policy consist of? Spending and borrowing. Good political economists (especially those of the public choice school) warned us for decades that politicians face incentives that are inimical to the people's best interests. Politicians who want to hold on to power have every inducement to promise to spend more money to benefit key constituencies. It is the rare politician who can get elected or reelected by promising to cut spending, unless it's spending that benefits only people outside his or her state or district. (Even then, politicians will vote for spending in order to win support for their own projects — the practice known as logrolling.)
So spending rises in good times and bad. And how are the programs to be paid for? Politicians know better than to promise to raise taxes generally, because voters tend not to like that. President Obama has shown that you can get reelected if you promise to raise taxes on the wealthy. But there's no mystery to be solved there. Of course lots of people are happy to see higher taxes — on someone else. Even some wealthy people will vote for a tax-raiser, anticipating that avoiding higher taxes is just a matter of asking the accountants to work a little harder.

Eating disorders have typically been seen as a group of conditions affecting adolescent girls. After all, of the nearly 24 million Americans with some type of eating disorder, nearly all are between the ages of 12 and 25. However, eating disorders are being detected among older women.
Throughout the community—in doctors' offices, gyms, etc—it is becoming more noticeable that some older women are going to extremes to control their eating behaviors and weight. Evidence from observational studies have identified this trend.
The types of eating disorders seen among older women appear to be similar to those seen in younger women—
anorexia nervosa,
bulimia nervosa, and
binge eating disorder.
Although more research is needed to fully explore this area, all of these eating disorders, or a combination of the three, appear to be increasingly common among older woman—especially those in midlife years. In general, women of all ages typically describe a feeling of being "out of control" when relaying their thoughts and feelings on issues of food and weight.
This trend in eating disorders among older women is likely the result of a variety of factors. However, it is difficult to accurately obtain statistics relating to eating disorders, in part because many women have been secretive about these disorders. It is difficult to determine whether there are actually more women experiencing eating disorders in recent years, or if there is less secrecy and more women who are now seeking help for the disorders. The following scenarios are possible explanations for the increase in prevalence:
There is evidence that genetics plays a role in eating disorders. Currently, DNA studies are being done to identify specific gene sequences that cause these disorders. Environmental triggers are also present, which means habits and behaviors can be passed down through generations. Women with histories of eating disorders often treat their children differently than women without eating disorders. They tend to focus on their children's weight, particularly with their daughters. This may contribute to changes in their children's eating habits.
Eating disorders at any age can have devastating health and psychosocial consequences on an individual. In addition, while eating disorders are potentially life threatening to the women who have them, if left untreated, they also have the potential to adversely affect the children of women with eating disorders. Therefore, seeking help from a qualified counselor, doctor, or eating disorder clinic, has the potential to benefit both individuals and families affected by eating disorders.
