April 10, President Barack Obama proposed a $152.7 billion Veterans Affairs Department budget for fiscal year 2014, a 10.2 percent increase over fiscal 2013 funding that will support VA's goals to expand access to health care and other benefits, eliminate the disability claims backlog, and end homelessness among veterans, VA officials said.
The budget request includes $66.5 billion in discretionary spending, largely for health care, and $86.1 billion for mandatory programs, mostly disability compensation and pensions for veterans.
"This budget will have a positive impact on the lives of veterans, their families and survivors for generations to come," VA Secretary Eric K. Shinseki said. "The president believes in veterans and their families and believes in providing them the care and benefits they've earned and deserve."
The $66.5 billion total in discretionary spending includes about $3.1 billion in collections from health insurers and veteran copayments in addition to the $63.5 billion in discretionary funding announced last week.
"VA's commitment to veterans spans generations," Shinseki added. "From the men and women of 'the greatest generation' to the veterans who have returned from Iraq and those returning from Afghanistan, VA will make sure our benefits are useful and accessible."
VA operates the largest integrated health care system in the country, with nearly 9 million enrollees, and the eighth-largest life insurance program. The department provides monthly disability pay, pensions and survivors payments to more than 4 million people as well as education assistance to 1 million students and mortgage guarantees to 1.5 million homeowners. VA also has the largest cemetery system in the nation.
With a medical care budget request of $54.6 billion, VA is positioned to provide care to 6.5 million veterans in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. The patient total includes 675,000 people whose military service began after Sept. 11, 2001. Major spending categories within the health care budget request are:
- $6.9 billion for mental health;
- $4.1 billion for health care for Veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn;
- $2.5 billion for prosthetics;
- $601 million for spinal cord injuries;
- $246 million for traumatic brain injuries;
- $230 million for readjustment counseling; and
- $7.6 billion for long-term care.
The proposed budget would ensure that care and other benefits are available to veterans when and where they need them, VA officials said, noting that it includes:
- $460 million in home telehealth funding, which helps patients monitor chronic health care problems through innovative uses of the telephone, a 4.4 percent increase over the current year;
- $422 million for women-specific medical care, an increase of nearly 14 percent over the present level;
- $799 million for the activation of new and enhanced health care facilities;
- $16 million for the construction of three new national cemeteries; and
- $8.8 million for "VetSuccess on Campus" at 84 facilities, a program that helps Veterans transition to college life.
The proposed budget provides for full implementation of VA's Transformation Plan — a series of people, process and technology initiatives — in fiscal 2014. This plan, officials said, will systematically reduce the claims backlog and reach Shinseki's 2015 goal of eliminating the backlog and processing all claims within 125 days with 98 percent accuracy.
Major initiatives in the budget proposal invest $291 million to bring leading-edge technology to the claims backlog, including $136 million for the Veterans Claims Intake Program and $155 million for the next generation of the electronic claims processing system, Veterans Benefits Management System.
A major strategic VA goal is to end homelessness among veterans in 2015. The budget request targets $1.4 billion for programs to prevent or reduce homelessness, including:
- $300 million for Supportive Services for Veteran Families to promote housing stability;
- $278 million for the Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program, known as HUD-VASH, wherein VA provides case management services for at-risk veterans and their families and HUD provides permanent housing through its Housing Choice Voucher program; and
- $250 million in grant and per diem payments that support temporary housing provided by community-based organizations.
In March, about 783,000 veterans were unemployed, a figure that includes 207,000 unemployed post-9/11 veterans. The fiscal 2014 budget request proposes a Veterans Job Corps, focused on investing in veterans' skills and experience, putting tens of thousands of veterans into civilian jobs. Budget features of this initiative include:
- $1 billion in mandatory funds to help unemployed veterans;
- A target of putting 20,000 veterans to work within the next five years in conservation, law enforcement and infrastructure jobs on public lands;
- Developing back-to-work programs for veterans with other federal agencies, including the Interior and Agriculture departments, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Army Corps of Engineers; and
- Supporting job-producing projects with contracts and grants with nonfederal organizations, such as states, nonprofit organizations and private businesses.
Other features of the administration's fiscal 2014 VA budget request include $250 million to administer the VA-run system of national cemeteries, $3.7 billion for information technology, and $1.2 billion in construction, cemetery grants and extended care grants.

Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KMK6821 Great Comfortable Gown!! I just loved the feel of this 100% cotton gown on myself, that I ordered 4 more over a period of time so that I could wear it every night during the summer months. It washes well, and is durable and pretty. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs something to sleep in that will help keep them cool. I am about to order a couple more, cause my Mom wants it also!! July 9, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5Â by DesignChick01 Nursing Gown I purchased this night gown because it was one of the only ones I could find in my size that would allow for night nursings with my new baby. It is really beautiful, but it has a few downsides. It is see through, very see through, I didn't like the ribbon/bow at the neck (it was easily removable) and the lace is not holding up well after 20 months of regular use. April 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bootsie Comfort and Beauty I bought this nightgown recently and I love it! It's feminine, comfortable, and so pretty! And it comes through the washer perfectly! In fact, I ordered three more by mail- order! Highly recommended. August 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by RAL It's beautiful! I wanted to treat myself to a lovely, well-made, cotton gown...and it delivered! The only reason for 4 stars is that I have to wear a robe with it, as it is slightly see-through. Also, the lace is so delicate that (on the bodice) the sewing machine didn't catch it completely, and I'm a bit worried that it will separate even more. Of course, I could exchange it, but I don't want to pay return postage. It is generously sized, so the medium fit my size 12 perfectly! June 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by happy in Baltimore Cool and confortable I LOVE this gown. I pondered a longtime because of cost and finally decided to go for it. I am not sorry. So soft and comfortable and very feminine. Cooler then any other gown I have. A bit pricey, but definately worth the money. June 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cowgirl becky Blissful comfort on hot summer nights This nightgown is very cool and comfortable, feels great against the skin. I was worried that it might be too heavy, but it is perfect. It is not sheer, so it provides coverage without being heavy. June 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tinker Bought it for my sister-in-law I actually haven't seen this nighty, but when my sister-in-law got it, she was over the moon! Said it was too pretty to wear...I hope she gets over that! November 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LindaR Love It! I was very pleased with the quality of this nightgown. Its both pretty and very comfortable to sleep in. August 23, 2013

Philadelphia Flyers Details
|All NHL Tickets
|See all NHL tickets
3/25/15: It seems that the Philadelphia Flyers short lived hopes of making the playoffs have finally faded. After mounting a somewhat impressive rally a couple of months ago, the Flyers have fallen back on hard times and just playing the remaining games on the schedule. The Flyers are a very interesting team, though. They have been outstanding at home with a 20-9-6 record. But as good as they have been in Philly, they have been just as bad on the road with only nine wins and 20 losses (and nine overtime losses). That means that they can play with anyone, but they will have to learn how to travel better if they are going to compete next season.
3/18/15: The Philadelphia Flyers had shown some spark in their game recently, giving rise to an outside chance of making the playoffs. Unfortunately, that was a couple of weeks ago, and the Flyers have regressed to their early-season ways by continually ringing up losses. They did show how good they can be against the Detroit Red Wings last weekend, though. The team dominated Detroit with a 7-2 win. Philly is wrapping up their road trip this week, at Calgary on Thursday and at Edmonton on Saturday, before returning home to host Chicago and San Jose next week.
3/11/15: For the last month or so, the Philadelphia Flyers have done a pretty good job of getting themselves off the mat and into the playoff discussion. They are not there yet, but have closed the gap significantly on both Boston and Florida for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. A good deal of that gain can be credited to a patchwork goaltending situation that has been surprisingly effective. Therefore it came as a shock to many when goalie coach Jeff Reese left the organization suddenly last week. Reportedly, Reese and team management did not see eye-to-eye on the return of Steve Mason from a meniscus tear.
3/4/15: The Philadelphia Flyers have played better lately and could make the playoffs if a few things fall into place. Others are starting to take notice of their climb up the standings, which is a great turnaround from the beginning of the season. Older rookie goaltender Rob Zepp gets a lot of credit here, as he held the team together for the past few weeks. Expect his workload to slow down a bit now that starting goalie Steve Mason is back from injury. Mason may be coming back a bit too early, but the team needs him now more than ever. But if Boston and Florida keep falling, the Flyers do have a shot at a wild card.
2/25/15: The improbable Rob Zepp tour continues for the Philadelphia Flyers. Zepp was only supposed to play one or a few games when he was called up originally, and was sent back to the minors. He got the call again and took the starting job from veteran Ray Emery. Emery is now out for a little while at least with a lower body injury. But Zepp has been playing pretty well. He got two good wins last weekend and the Flyers are 5-1-4 in their last 10 games. A playoff spot is not out of the question, particularly since the Boston Bruins have struggled a lot over the last few weeks.
2/18/15: The Philadelphia Flyers lost a tough one in Columbus last Friday, surrendering a two goal lead to lose in overtime. The night started by the home team Columbus honoring Scott Hartnell for playing in his 1,000th game - over 40 percent of which he played for the Flyers. Wayne Simmons scored twice to get his goal total to 21 on the season. But the Flyers could not hold on and lost 4-3 in overtime, even with a third period lead. There is some good news here, though. Despite the OT loss, it was the eighth consecutive game that Philly has earned at least a point. It may be too little, too late for the Flyers, but they are giving a glimpse of what they could be next season.
2/11/15: Welcome back, Kimmo. Now pack your bags, you have a plane to catch. Okay, so that is not how it really happened, but it could. The good news is that defenseman Kimmo Timonen has been medically cleared to play after suffering from blood clots in his lungs and legs. That ailment threatened to end his career. Now he will work his way back into game shape and try to get a few games in. However, with the Flyers likely not making the playoffs this season, the team may look to move the veteran defenseman to a contender while picking up some prospects and draft picks. At least it looks like Timonen will be able to end his career on his terms.
2/5/15: While the Philadelphia Flyers have struggled for most of the season (though they have looked more energetic lately), one player who has been on fire all season is Jakub Vorecek. Vorecek leads the league in points this season (Patrick Kane of Chicago and Tyler Seguin of Dallas round out the top three). Just to show that it was not a fluke, Vorecek led all players in points in the All Star Game with six (three goals, three assists). That tied Mario Lemieux's record for most points in an All Star Game, which was set way back in 1988. As for the Flyers, they are winning games again, but have a road trip through Washington, Montreal and Columbus coming up.
1/28/15: Now that the All-Star Game is finished and the sights are being set on the stretch run in the NHL, it is interesting to see where teams and players stand. The Flyers are certainly not happy with their 19-22-7 record and need to improve their play on the road. However, the most interesting statistic is that Jakub Voracek leads the NHL in points with 17 goals and 39 assists, good for 56 points. He holds a four point lead over Tyler Seguin of the Dallas Stars. While improbable just a few months ago, there is a good chance the Voracek could win the Art Ross Trophy, which would be a positive note for the team this season.
1/21/15: There is good news and bad news for Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen. The good news is that the blood clot in his lungs is gone. The bad news is that he still has a blood clot in his leg, and that may mean the end of his hockey career. Timonen has not played since the playoffs last April and the blood clots were discovered in August. He claims to feel great, but will not risk his long term health and mortality over the clot. The Flyers are short on defensemen this season, but this goes beyond a roster issue. Best of luck to Kimmo has he tries to come back.
1/14/15: Philadelphia cast their lot with goaltender Steve Mason this season, but that has not paid much in the way of wins. Mason has missed almost half of the season with injuries and is only 8-12-6 on the year. It looks like they are going to be without him again for a while. He made a routine save against Boston but came up lame in his right leg. It could be that the puck missed his pad and hit his leg or it could be ligament damage. In any case, the Flyers are relying on veteran Ray Emery again, as they struggle through this disappointing season.
1/7/15: Not much has gone right for the Philadelphia Flyers this season. They have struggled on the ice, cannot keep the puck out of the net and have been beset by a number of injuries, especially on their defensive corps. To make matters worse (and tremendously scary), defenseman Michael Del Zotto took a skate across his face against the Colorado Avalanche last week. Fortunately, it was not too serious, and, in true hockey player fashion, Del Zotto was back on the ice the next period. The Flyers have a nice homestand this week with Washington in town on Thursday and the Boston Bruins visiting on Saturday.
12/3/14: The Philadelphia Flyers are stuck in a tough 2-7-1 stretch at this point, and that has allowed a few Metropolitan rivals to pass them in the standings. While the team may be losing games, head coach Craig Berube has not lost the room. His players are defending him publicly and taking the blame for their poor play. Though Berube has had no problems calling out his players through the media. But the Flyers need help and they are ,rumored to be trying to work something out with the Edmonton Oilers, possibly for Braydon Coburn or David Perron.
11/19/14: Who says that Philadelphia fans do not have love in their hearts? OK, sure. They booed Santa and threw snowballs at him, but that was decades ago and those were Eagles fans. The Flyers fans gave Scott Hartnell a standing ovation when he returned to Philly last week for the first time, now as a member of the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets won the game, snapping a nine game stretch where they went 0-8-1. But it was a nice gesture. The Flyers are at home on Thursday and Saturday to host the Minnesota Wild and Columbus Blue Jackets, respectively. Let's see if there is another standing ovation this time.
11/12/14: The Flyers are livid about a hit from behind from Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon on their Luke Schenn. Schenn hit the boards face first and left with an upper-body injury. MacKinnon was given a five minute major for boarding and the Flyers capitalized on that with two goals en route to a 4-3 win. The Avs say that MacKinnon barely touched Schenn. The Flyers maintain it was a dirty hit. In any case, tempers are brewing between the teams and it will be fun to watch the next time they play each other. Philly has Minnesota and Columbus at home this week (Thursday and Saturday, respectively).
11/5/14: There is no question that the Flyers have questions on defense. Two of their better blueliners are out with injuries: Braydon Coburn and Andrew MacDonald, so they have been forced to reach into the minors for depth - calling up rookie Shayne Gostisbeherer. The Flyers even went to the street, signing veteran free agent Carlo Colaiacovo for depth. Colaiacovo has 401 games and 11 seasons under his belt. He never lived up to the first round draft status (back in 2001) but is a solid defender and will help out the depleted unit in the short term.
10/29/14: The Flyers defense took a big hit last week when both Andrew MacDonald and Braydon Coburn got injured and will be out four weeks. They already lost Kimmo Tinomen, which put them down to only five healthy blueliners. GM Ron Hextall is trying to fill the holes but admits that pickings are pretty slim right now. The Flyers won their second game of the season last week at Pittsburgh and looked better than they had all season. The team is taking a trip down to Florida this week to face the Lightning (10/30) and Panthers (11/1), before coming home to host the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday, November 4th.
10/22/14: Former Philadelphia Flyers tough guy defenseman Chris Pronger has been named a consultant to the NHL's Department of Player Safety. The irony of the situation is that while Pronger may not have been a dirty player, he certainly was a very physical one who pushed the envelope when he played. Pronger is no longer playing, but is collecting big money from the Flyers still. Several have called this a conflict of interest, but Pronger maintains that he is not the one who will hand out fines or punishments and that he is excused from any issues that involve the Flyers. Philly may wish to get him back as they are winless in their first four games and have surrendered 16 goals. The Flyers are on the road now, but come back for home games against the Red Wings and Kings on Saturday and Tuesday, respectively.
10/8/14: What should one expect from the Philadelphia Flyers this season? There is no doubting that the team has a strong offensive presence, but there is also no question that the defense and goaltending can be suspect. Overall, the defensive pairings are old by NHL standards. They are also new to the club, and there can be a transition period while new guys adapt to the scheme. On top of that, goalie Steve Mason has been both dazzling and frustrating in his career, so there are no expectations that he can simply steal a game. But the Flyers may be among the more entertaining teams, because they can score, and that does build excitement.
10/15/14: The Philadelphia Flyers did not get off to the start they wanted, losing their first two games of the season. The Flyers are moving away from the "Broad Street Bullies" characterization and do not have a designated 'fighter' on their team this year. And that was the doing of GM Ron Hextall - who, ironically, was among the fightingest goalies in history. Hextall believes that the NHL is moving away from fighting and wants to be on the forefront with more speed. We will see how this shakes out for Philly as they have a tough road trip this week that includes games at Dallas, Chicago and Pittsburgh.
10/1/14: The Philadelphia Flyers traditionally put out a good product. Year in and year out, they seem to make the playoffs, and, in the past, have surprised a few teams with how resilient they tend to be in the postseason. In short, they are a "tough out". Expect the same out of Philly this season. The team seems to have taken on GM Ron Hextall's personality of being above average on talent, but overwhelming on toughness and effort. They have a pretty solid offense, but may be looking for a fourth line center now (and the Western Conference shows the importance of having strong play up the middle on all lines) as Ryan White is expected to miss most of the season with a torn pectoral muscle.
3/13/13: An early season slump which saw the Philadelphia Flyers drop six of their first eight games put the team in a big hole and they now find themselves scrambling to get back in contention for the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Flyers did manage to knock off Buffalo the other night, after losing three-straight. A big home and home stretch with the New York Rangers this week should provide some insight on the outlook for the rest of the year. Jakub Voracek has provided some scoring for the Flyers, putting together 29 points via 12 goals and 17 assists, while Claude Giroux has also dished out 17 assists, scoring eight goals himself. Ilya Bryzgalov has had to shoulder much of the goaltending duty this year, starting 25 games and putting together a .899 save percentage. Philly needs some big wins in the coming weeks to get back in the thick of things and make a push for the playoffs. If not, at least the Eagles hired Chip Kelly.
10/4/12: When the lockout started several European born NHL players quickly signed with teams overseas. For the Philadelphia Flyers that included goalie Ilya Bryzgalov who signed with the KHL and CSKA Moskva. He has played in one game so far and allowed four goals and a troublesome save percentage of .867. Flyers fans surely will hope that Bryzgalov is just working out the off season rust and that his numbers will improve by the time he returns to the NHL. As the lockout lingers we are starting to see American and Canadian players head overseas as well. There are rumors that Flyers star Claude Giroux is looking for a team in Sweden to play for.
9/27/12: Philadelphia Flyers much maligned goalie Ilya Bryzgalov has returned to Russia to play hockey during the NHL lockout. Bryzgalov signed a contract with CSKA Moskva to play during the labor dispute. He joins Pavel Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings as big named NHL players on the Moskva roster. Bryzgalov has yet to appear in a game on the young KHL season. The Flyers signed Bryzgalov last off season to a huge $5.6 million dollar contract and he had an up and down year. He was pretty good during the regular season but struggled and was inconsistent in the playoffs.
8/16/12: With the possibility of a lock out looming in the NHL many teams have been scrambling to get their top draft picks under contract. The Philadelphia Flyers are among those and were able to lock up their top draft pick Scott Laughton to an entry level contract. The 18 year-old Laughton was the selected with the 20th pick of the first round and Philadelphia is hoping that the center will soon be headed to the NHL. Last season he scored 64 points for the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League. If there is a lock out Laughton will most likely return to Oshawa to play.
7/26/12: The Philadelphia Flyers swung for the fences this week as they signed Nashville Predators defenseman Shea Weber to a 14 year, multi-million dollar contract daring the Predators to match. Since Weber was a restricted free agent Nashville could keep him but would have to honor the contract the Flyers worked out. The hockey world watched the drama unfold all week as Nashville took all the time allotted to them before finally matching the offer. Weber would have been a great fit for the Flyers as he is a fierce player who plays the physical game that the Flyers love.
5/3/12: The Flyers won the first game of their second round Stanley Cup Playoff series against the New Jersey Devils in overtime as playoff star Danny Briere scored the game winner. Hoping to ride that momentum into Game 2 the Flyers took an early lead and then quit playing. The Devils turned up the pressure and heavily outshot the Flyers the remainder of the game. They found the back of the net as well as they evened up the series with a 4-1 victory. The best-of-seven now heads to the Garden State for two more games.
4/26/12: The Philadelphia Flyers advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs this week by vanquishing their hated rivals the Pittsburgh Penguins. In Game 6 Flyers star Claude Giroux got them rolling on his first shift when he flattened Penguins captain Sidney Crosby and scored the game's first goal thirty seconds later. It was all Flyers after that as the Penguins spirit was crushed. They await the winner of several Game 7's in the other series this week to see who their second round opponent will be. With some of the upsets that have occurred the Flyers may be moving up to be one of the favorites to win the Stanley Cup.

Beautiful and sparkly
Sparkly, dainty, well made and beautiful. well packaged, presentable box. I gave it to my wife as engagement ring then bought curved wedding band later. They look awesome and she loves it.Read More
Beautiful and Delicate, exactly what I was looking
Much like love, this ring is beautiful and delicate, much like one's heart. I was amazed at the speed in which I received the ring. I received the ring two days ahead of the promised delivery date... Under promising and over delivering is my mantra, and Overstock.com seems to be in line with that kind of thinking. Huge win! Notice that I haven't even mentioned the price yet... A $1,400.00 for just $***and it is immaculate! I am traveling out of the country to propose to my soon to be fiancee and she is going to be blown away. I recently bought a house, so I really needed to be responsible and not overspend. This was a great way of getting it done. Plus 6 months same as cash??? Whaaaat? Huge win! Thank you so much overstock.com! You are a life saver!Read More
you saved us overstock!
I became engaged in December, and was given an absolutely breathtaking $4,000 engagement ring. It was a little too big but I never got a gaurd for it. It fell off my finger 6 months later while I was shopping, and we haven't seen it since. I had no insurance on it, and with our wedding date getting closer, we thought we couldn't afford another engagement ring. My friend suggested overstock.com and thanks to her I was able to buy this beautiful ring without sabotaging my wedding budget! This ring is extremely different, which is my favorite thing about it. No one has an engagement ring that looks like mine. It is also very glamorous and stands out alot, especially on my petite hand. I absolutely love it! It sparkles like crazy. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that the prongs in the center cluster are visible and you can tell it is made of a bunch of small diamonds. So if you are looking for something that gives the illusion of one big diamond, I wouldn't go for this ring. I actually like the look of the small diamonds, the halo adds elegance and the band was such a stylish idea for this ring. It gets an A+ in my book! And trust me I'm picky when it comes to jewelry! If you buy this for your future bride she will be very impressed. Even more impressed if you tell her the price. LolRead More
Gorgeous ring! Plus it was so nice to find major discounts on the web and through Overstock.com. Definitely ordering from Overstock again!!!Read More
I will start off by saying this ring sparkles like CRAZY!! As with any piece of jewelry bought online, it IS smaller than the picture, but it is just as beautiful, if not more. It looks way more expensive than the price I actually paid. But it seems as if this ring was on sale for MUCH less than the MSRP. There is one inclusion a diamond that looks "grey"ish, but I am observant and would think that no one other than me would notice it, unless they were looking for it. Finding a band will be the next challenge, but I have no doubt that adding a beautiful band to this ring is going to make it look rich and amazing. The only complaint I have is that Overstocks shipping SUCKS, it took them 7 FULL days to even ship the item out after it was place and paid. I believe there is no excuse for this. All in all, these "Miadora" Rings are recommended by me, judging by the quality and beauty of this one. If you are on a budget, skip the mall stores and take your chances on the ring you have your eye on from overstock. The quality is going to be the same, and you are going to get way more bang for your buck. Keep an eye on clarity and color, do some comparisons, and you can't go wrong.Read More
Beautiful Engagement Ring
Photo & description were accurate. It is quite dazzling in natural light. I have received many compliments.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello Emily, I would suggest a curved band to go with this ring. We do not have a specific ring to match but something like item#16052788 would work well. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks for shopping with us.
Miadora 10k White Gold 1/2ct TDW Halo Diamond Ring Initial description say this ring is 1/2 TDW . Product details says the diamond weight is 0.055. Is this a typo? Is this ring not really 1/2 carat? I do not really know anything about diamonds, I'm just trying to figure this out! Help!
Thank you for contacting us aweschumm92714. Please see below. This ring has 67 diamonds which total a ½ carat. 1 = 0.055 6 = 0.13 6 = 0.018 16 = 0.13 28 = 0.14 10 = 0.03 Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Is there are particular wedding band that will "match" with this ring? I am unsure if I'll need a curved band or not. Was just curious if there is a specific band that accompanies this ring. Thanks.
Hello savjosh6408, we don't have a specific band that accompanies this ring. Thank you for checking with us.
is this ring durable ? sleep in, work out, swim in, shower or will it fall apart my girlfriend tends to forget she is wearing rings so she will never take it off haha
Hello smith72633, this ring is suitable for regular wear and tear. We suggest you take care of it like you would any other piece of jewelry you love. Thank you for shopping with us.
I have this ring..I've been wearing it for 7 months everyday, doing everyday things and it still looks as good as the day I received it.
It is durable, but to be safe I take it off when dealing with anything that might get the crevices.
Can this ring be resized?
Hello tspahn1228! This ring is beautiful! Yes, this can be resized if needed. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Is the ring very large? Will it snag of fabric often? How is the clarity of the diamonds, can you see any of the inclusions? How is the shine and sparkle?
No it is not too large. I cannot answer that as it would depend what you are wearing. The clarity is I2-I3 Which means the inclusions are visible with the naked eye.

The texture of the cake is very moist and rich. It smells like lemon since the beginning, every one could tell it was a lemon cake because the smell was so strong (in a good way). It's light and refreshing, great for brunch.
Even though I used white flour for this one, the cake turned out tan because of the sugar. If you want a paler cake, use white sugar. It will end up with a yellowish color because of the lime and lemon.
I hope you enjoy it!
Step 1: Ingredients
2 large Lemons (or limes)
2 tbsp Lime Peel (2 or 3 limes)
1 1/2 cup flour (you can use whole wheat)
1 cup Sugar (I used Turbinado, but use whatever you have on hand)
1 tsp Baking Soda
5 tbsp Oil (I used Canola)
1 tsp Vinegar
1 tsp Vanilla
3/4 cup Water
For the Icing:
2 tbsp Lemon or Lime Juice
3/4 cup Confectioners Sugar
But some of the cakes I have baked that have no eggs..not even an egg replacement ingredient, have worked out better than ones that do. They are generally more moist, but usually a little more crumbly.
There is one chocolate mud-muffin recipe I make which is vegan, gluten, and nut free which tastes AWESOME..but smells worse than my cat's litter tray in its uncooked stage, and made hubby vomit when he licked the spoon..I sort of didn't warn him he should smell it first though! ;)
2 questions, what type of vinegar is used, malt (brown) or spirit (white/clear).
also i want to make this for a diabetic friend of mine and want to know will splender be ok to sub for the sugar.
Im from the uk and will have to convert the measurments.
2. It'll look white as long as the liquid you're using is white or has a clear color. Since I used lemon juice, it stayed a creamy white color. You can add food coloring if you want, to change the color.
These were GOOD. Like, really sharp and limey, almost buttery tasting kind of good. I'd been complaining to my mother about another orange cake recipe being sort of wimpy, even when made with lemon juice, and I think I've found my solution here. This is not a vaguely citrus-flavored cake, it's seriously citrusy, and I'm curious to see what folding in strawberry pieces and using tequila instead of vanilla would be like. I still have some limes, so I think I might just find out.
I also made http://www.food.com/recipe/eggless-banana-bread-177031, which is super easy to veganize. Sub a 1/4 cup of cocoa or cacao for that much flour, add a TB of espresso powder, and you've got another tasty grownup baked good. My coworkers are going enjoy both these things tomorrow, so thanks for the baking inspiration!
I still use dairy and egg but try to buy local and eco friendly. Some farms treat the land and animals with respect. I want to encourage that. When I go out I sometimes just close my eyes and pretend I don't know better. I realize that is weak, but guys just gotta get by somehow.
I just found you and will be back because Clare want Vegan when we can.
She is worth it.
Cherokee Clare is the best.
Refined sugars do not contain any animal products, and so by an ingredients-based definition of vegan, refined sugar is vegan.
However, some refined sugar is processed with animal bone char. The charcoal is used to remove color, impurities, and minerals from sugar. The charcoal is not 'in' the sugar, but is used in the process as as a filter.
Thus by a process-based definition of vegan, refined sugar may not be considered vegan.
I figure since there are so many alternatives available these days, there's really no reason to take the risk when cooking vegan foods.

- person in the U.S. has this name View Joanna Balaz on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
From the Latin form, Io(h)anna, of Greek Iōanna, the feminine equivalent of Iōannēs (see John). In the New Testament, this name is borne by a woman who was one of Jesus's followers (Luke 8:3; 24:10). She was the wife of the steward of the household of King Herod Antipas. The name was regularly used throughout the Middle Ages in most parts of Europe as a feminine equivalent of John, but in England it has only been in common use as a vernacular given name since the 19th century. Celebrated British bearers of the name include the novelist Joanna Trollope (b. 1943), the actress Joanna Lumley (b. 1946), and the concert pianist Joanna McGregor (b. 1959).

Steven E. Morningstar looks forward to January with both pleasure and a bit of dread.
"It's a Catch-22," said Morningstar, general manager of Fitness First Health Club on Westview Drive in Frederick. "It's like March and April in the tax business. It does help our business, but the days are long."
Losing weight was the top New Year's resolution this year, while exercising tied for second with improving finances, according to a Harris Interactive poll of more than 3,000 adults in December. The result: more folks waiting to use the treadmills and circuit weight machines at health clubs starting Jan. 1.
The typical increase in membership during January at Fitness First's 17 facilities is between 50 percent and 75 percent, said Amy DiPasquale, COO of the company, which is based in Frederick.
But the pace slacks off by mid-March as people become less enthusiastic over their resolutions, although Fitness First tends to have a fairly high percentage of clients who stick with their exercise routine, Morningstar said.
Some 64 percent of people keep their resolutions past one month, while only about half do so after three months, according to a study headed by John C. Norcross, a professor of psychology at the University of Scranton, Pa.
It's not just new members who add to the more crowded clubs this time of year, but existing clients also resolve to work out more often, Morningstar said.
"Instead of coming in twice a week, they may work out here four to five times a week," he said.
Other clubs in Maryland report a similar trend.
Curves International, a franchiser in Woodway, Texas, with 46 fitness and weight-loss facilities in Maryland catering primarily to women, signed up "tens of thousands" of new members nationwide in January, said Katy Bauer, area director for Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Virginia and Washington, D.C. The first Curves opened in 1992, and there are now more than 7,000 sites in 90 countries, including 3,600 clubs in the U.S. and Canada.
"It's looking like we'll surpass last January's [2012] numbers for new members," said Bauer, who also owns some Curves franchises in Montgomery County.
During the 2012 first quarter, the total membership of Town Sports International of New York, which operates some 160 clubs nationwide and in Switzerland, including four Washington Sports Clubs in Maryland, increased by 10,000 to 533,000 before declining by 11,000 by Sept. 30, according to company financial reports.
Membership at Life Time Fitness of Chanhassen, Minn., which runs 105 centers in North America, including in Rockville and Columbia, rose by about 28,000 in last year's first quarter to 704,500 before declining by some 9,000 by September, according to financial reports.
Contrary to some industries, health clubs did not see a big decline in business during the Great Recession. From 2008 to 2009, total membership at health clubs nationwide dropped by only 200,000, or less than 1 percent, according to figures from the International Health, Racquet and Sportclub Association of Boston.
The following year, membership shot up by 5 million and an additional 1 million in 2011. Revenues rose 22 percent in 2011 from 2006 to $21.4 billion, according to the association. The number of clubs hasn't grown nearly as much, rising only 3 percent in 2011 from 2006 to almost 30,000.
Fitness First saw membership increase, even during the recession, DiPasquale said.
"We're a little bit recession proof," she said. "People still want to look good and feel good about themselves, even in a down economy."
Fitness First works to keep rates low, including a $29 per month offer, she said.
"People are able to justify paying that price," DiPasquale said.
While membership fluctuated some for Town Sports International during the Great Recession, its total of 522,000 in September was 8 percent above its 2007 pre-recession level.
Some 55 percent of people who aren't members of a health club cite cost as a barrier to joining, according to a recent survey by the sport club association.
Planet Fitness of Newington, N.H., is offering a $10 monthly rate. The company has 19 clubs in Maryland, with four that recently opened in Rockville, Waldorf, Elkton and Greenbelt. The business reached 600 locations in late December, among the most of any general health club.
A manager at a busy Planet Fitness in Gaithersburg, where use of a treadmill was at a premium, said Wednesday he had to refer questions to a company spokesman, who did not contact The Gazette by Thursday. The company's website says it does not have salespeople, and "we don't bother with all the extras like juice bars and child care that drive up costs and can make a gym membership seem more like a car payment."
Washington Sports Clubs, with facilities in Bethesda, Silver Spring and Germantown, and others owned by Town Sports International have made good inroads in personal training and small group training, Bob Giardina, president and CEO of Town Sports, said during a recent conference call with analysts.
"We are attracting great training talent within our clubs and will continue to expand on our small group training offerings," Giardina said. "There is no doubt in my mind that this will continue to be a meaningful source of revenue growth for the company."
In the first nine months of 2012, Town Sports revenues rose 4 percent from the same period in 2011 to $364.8 million, while net income quadrupled to $12.4 million.
Most people who are serious about losing weight know they won't get the results they want by just dieting, and that was why Curves recently rolled out the Curves Complete program offering exercise, customized meal plans, an online portal and coaching, Bauer said.
"They also need to exercise, and they need encouragement to stick to the plan," she said. "The best part is that the cost is comparable to what other programs charge for diet alone."
Almost all of weight lost through the Complete program is body fat, while many conventional diets in which weight is lost typically includes up to 30 percent of muscle tissue, Bauer said. The centers have hydraulic resistance strength-training machines designed for women, alternated with 2-by-2-foot cushioned squares.
"By preserving lean muscle, Curves Complete helps maintain or even boost the body's metabolism for better long-term results," Bauer said.
Some large clubs have opened in Maryland the past couple years. Sport & Health Clubs of McLean, Va., which has six facilities in Maryland, opened its second one in Frederick on Osprey Way in November. That 42,000-square-foot club features cardio equipment with personal viewing screens, suspension training, classes in Zumba and yoga, a basketball court, an indoor swimming pool, a Finnish sauna and a Kidz Klub with a climbing maze, Wii gaming system and chalkboard wall.
LA Fitness of Irvine, Calif., which has 15 clubs in Maryland, opened a 55,000-square-foot facility in Rockville about two years ago. It has a basketball court, swimming pool and classes in dance, pilates, yoga and fitness.
The Westview Frederick club, Fitness First's second in that city, has been entirely remodeled after the company bought the former Frederick Athletic Club in April, Morningstar said. It's the company's only location with a 6,000-square-foot gym that features an NBA regulation-size basketball court.
"That helps us attract new members," Morningstar said. "We don't just use it for basketball but have other sports like volleyball and dodge ball. Eventually, we want to have leagues."
The 22,000-square-foot facility on Westview is the company's newest one, with upgraded treadmills, virtual reality bikes, rowing machines, circuit and free weight equipment, and an Olympic lifting platform. It also has new Sproing training machines, which feature a soft, cushiony surface to absorb impact and pulleys for both strength and cardio training, and classes.
The company is opening its 10th club in the state in Columbia in April, which will also be about 22,000 square feet but not have a basketball court. Fitness First also has seven facilities in Northern Virginia and one in Washington, D.C.
The company works hard at retaining members and helping them keep resolutions through classes, special events, and even emailing them with encouraging messages, DiPasquale said.
Local companies such as Bethesda beverage business Honest Tea offer employees club memberships. Fitness First works with numerous human resources departments to tailor such programs, DiPasquale said.
"Some offer that as a benefit and subsidize the monthly fee," she said. "But we have seen some employers phasing out contributing to the employee's membership."
Corporate memberships in group sales have not met expectations lately, Giardina with Town Sports said.
"Maybe this is one area where economic uncertainty could be having a slight impact," he said.
For every dollar a company spends on a wellness program such as offering a gym membership, it saves $3.27 in medical costs and $2.73 in absenteeism costs, according to a Harvard University study. A gym membership also can help reduce employee turnover, increase productivity, attract new workers and lower costs for public programs such as disability insurance and Medicare, Harvard researchers said.
With health insurance costs rising, every bit of savings helps, DiPasquale said.
"We think a gym membership provides companies and individuals with long-lasting benefits," she said.

Interpretive Handbook
80184 :
Cervical Papanicolaou Smear, Diagnostic without Physician Interpretation
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix is believed to develop in progressive stages from normal through precancerous (dysplastic) stages, to carcinoma in situ, and eventually invasive carcinoma. This sequence is felt to develop over a matter of years in most patients.
The etiology of cervical carcinoma is unknown, but the disease is believed to be related to sexual activity and possibly sexually transmitted viral infections such as human papillomavirus (HPV).
Most cervical carcinomas and precancerous conditions occur in the transformation zone (squamo-columnar junction), therefore, this area needs to be sampled if optimum results are to be obtained.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Screening for cervical carcinoma and a number of infections of the female genital tract including human papillomavirus, herpes, Candida, and Trichomonas
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Standard reporting, as defined by the Bethesda System (TBS) is utilized.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
If endocervical cells have not been obtained (less than optimal smears) the results may be unreliable.
There is a false-negative rate of 10% to 20% in the presence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or invasive squamous cell carcinoma.
The Papanicolaou test is unreliable for endometrial carcinoma (at least 50% false-negative rate).
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Satisfactory for evaluation. Negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy.
Note: Abnormal results will be reviewed by a physician at an additional charge.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Horace Gray
Horace Gray was born and raised in Massachusetts. He traveled abroad following his graduation from Harvard College. He had to cut short his travels when the family business experienced serious reversals. Gray studied at Harvard Law School, read law, and clerked at a law firm prior to his entering the bar.
At the age of 36, Gray was appointed to the Massachusetts Supreme Court, the youngest appointee in its history. He quickly rose to the position of chief justice as older justices died or resigned.
During his 17 years on the Massachusetts court, Gray dissented only once and none of his decisions was overruled. He had the foresight while chief justice to hire a bright Harvard Law School student as his clerk, Louis D. Brandeis.
Gray was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Chester A. Arthur; Grays' nomination was confirmed by the Senate the following day.
Gray held to the view that law and politics were completely separate domains. HIs opinions were steeped in legal history and they lacked any appeal to public policy. Gray will best be remembered as the justice who changed his vote on the validity of the income tax. See Pollack v. Farmer's Loan & Trust Co., 157 U.S. 429 and 158 U.S. 601 (1895).

Submission + - The Dirty Dozen of security-vulnerable smartphones->
coondoggie writes: "According to the Bit9 study published today, smartphone manufacturers Samsung, HTC, Motorola and LG often launch new phones with outdated software right out of the box, and they are slow to upgrade these phones to the latest and most secure versions of Android. This heightens the risk of malware vulnerabilities or other types of attack, says Harry Svedlove, Bit9's chief technology officer, who notes detail about the "Dirty Dozen" research and its methodology is posted on the company's website for review."

Hertha Berlin midfielder Anis Ben-Hatira is hoping to be fit for his side's Bundesliga trip to former club Hamburg on Saturday.
The Tunisian has been sidelined by an ankle injury since the end of November, up to which point he had made 14 league appearances for the men from the capital.
But Ben-Hatira, who started his career at Hamburg, is hopeful of a return to action this weekend and insisted he was close to a full recovery.
"I'm fine, and my ankle is even better," he told Bild. "I cannot wait to play again.
"The game is very special for me. It will be very emotional. HSV still means a lot to me."
Hamburg are currently on a dismal run of form which has seen them lose their last five fixtures, but Ben-Hatira wants to see his former employer avoid the drop.
"I hope that, after the game against us, they get the necessary points in order to prevent what would be a disaster: relegation," he added. "HSV is insecure. We must take advantage.
"We will do everything possible to take the points to Berlin."

Step 2: Break along seed line
The rind will be about 4-5 mm lower then the other strips. Break off the strip.
Step 3: Remove seeds
Take a spoon and scrape the seeds off. Don't worry about removing some of the melon around the seeds because it is usually overripe and mushy anyways. Some people think this wasteful but it is an undesirable part of the melon.
Step 4: Slice to serve
As you continue you will notice that the center of the melon is remaining. Clean the seeds off it and cut it up. This center section is the prime part so put it in a separate bowl and save it for yourself.

As in much of Florida, boats are a familiar sight in Jacksonville and they play an important role in the city's life. In land area Jacksonville is the largest city in the United States but much of its activity and economy have to do with water. The city is divided by the St. Johns River and the Atlantic is on the east of the city together with the Jacksonville Beaches communities. Boats have a lot to do with Jacksonville for transport, the US military and tourism.

Jacksonville has 21 miles of beaches with endless opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming or just enjoying the sunset. For a backgrounder, you can start with the Jacksonville Beaches Museum and History Center which exhibits historic photographs, artifacts and even a 28-ton 1911 steam locomotive. The Jacksonville Beach Pier is the ideal place to start off on your fishing expedition or to just head out to sea and watch the dolphins, manatees and birds. The pier juts out 1,320 feet into the Atlantic, is accessible to the handicapped, has a 20-foot wide deck, fish-cleaning stations, bait shops and facilities for chartering boats.
You can go kayaking, explore the waterways, or catch the cruise ships to the Bahamas that make Jacksonville a home port. Jacksonville offers both offshore and inshore fishing. Inshore, you can catch redfish, sea trout, flounder, blackdrum and sheepshead. Experienced skippers of charter boats can help you discover secret hideaways for fly fishing. Offshore, saltwater fish include tuna, Wahoo, grouper and snapper among others. Every year, up to 500 boats join the Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament competing for hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money.
The waters of Jacksonville give the city the third largest naval force in the country. It is home to Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Naval Station Mayport, which will be home to a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Blount Island Command of the Marine Corps and the Florida Air National Guard. The military is the largest employer in Jacksonville and contributes $6.1 billion annually to the city's economy.
It's easy to see that it's boats, military and civilian, that do a lot to keep Jacksonville above water.

British Prime Minister David Cameron weighed in today on the discovery that some hamburger products sold in supermarkets in Ireland and the United Kingdom have been found to contain horse meat, calling it completely unacceptable.
Tests on beef products sold in stores found low levels of horse DNA in hamburgers, and while there is no health risk, stores are pulling implicated products from their shelves.
Most of the products include trace amounts of the horse DNA (about 0.1% 0.3%), but one product, a beef burger sold at Tesco, was found to contain 29 percent horse meat.
It is extremely disturbing news, Cameron said at a meeting in parliament today. I have asked the Food Standards Agency to conduct an urgent investigation into this.
It is unclear how the horse meat ended up in the beef products. Several of the products also contain pig DNA, but experts say that isnt out of the ordinary.
Whilst there is a plausible explanation for the presence of pig DNA in these products due to the fact that meat from different animals is processed in the same meat plants, there is no clear explanation at this time for the presence of horse DNA in products emanating from meat plants that do not use horse meat in their production process, Prof. Alan Reilly, chief executive of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) said to the Press Association.

Rated 4.1 out of 5Â by 11 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Jimmie812 Great item for cold weather These shirts were great to wear while visiting New York in January. The only problem was I felt they were too short--barely could tuck into pants. January 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Largemer 100% cotton but stretches Love all of your cotton rib-knit shirts! Because of some reviews, I ordered a size larger than I needed. I'm glad I did because the large fits my medium frame perfectly. They wash beautifully and don't shrink much at all if not dried in too hot a dryer. I gave one of the shirts to a friend of mine and she says she will order more for herself and family members. Great product. PLEASE don't change it! January 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Vermontcountrystorejunkie Comfort at a low price! On the same day I bought both silk and cotton as an experiment against "winter itch". In my personal focus group, half said, "wear cotton", the other said "wear silk". In a previous review I praised the silk. Now I will praise the cotton. So soft, and what a bargain! Three for under $30. AND the "no more itching" is thrown in for free. Thank you! December 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BB Soft and Comfortable Love these tops! They are soft and comfortable. The size is good, not too tight, long enough to tuck in. For me the arms are a little long, but just about everything I buy with long sleeves are like that. They wash and dry beautifully, no shrinking. I love the fact that they are made in the USA and are of good quality. Would like to see them offered in more colors. Excellent item for an excellent price. December 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by cozy gal Great quality but could be longer Love my new long sleeve crew shirts! Quite cozy! They are soft, comfortable, very well made and provide added warmth on cold days. However, I do wish they were a bit longer in length. February 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by marushka Comfortable, light and warm I almost didn't buy this product due to a review that states they are too short. It is true that they are not very long in the body, but are perfect for average height (I'm 5' 6 1/2") because there is less to tuck in. After all, this top is meant to be an undergarment. Cotton is good quality and comfortable, besides adding an extra layer of warmth w/o bulk. January 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Golden Ager The product is excellent These long-sleeve crew-neck tops are JUST WHAT i WAS LOOKING FOR. They are so well made and feel good on. I will definitely order again. January 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by GypsySoul Warm, Soft..but much too short!! I bought these several years ago and found them to be much too short. The description says 24" but they are more like 17". They do not tuck in as described. Yet, they are warm and soft and for the purpose of keeping my upper body warm, they serve well. However, they do need to be lenghtened to about 27" for bustier women. September 28, 2013

I seem to remember an unused donationcoder group on stumbleupon, as well as there being an IRC channel.
By the way, the same day this site went down, so did my chatroom and it's still down (my pc died and I can't host it). But it seems that everyone from my chatroom was able to find each other in 3 other rooms on 3 other networks (one of them being donationcoder's irc channel). Part of the reason is because we are pretty close as a group and know each other well, and have communication on a regular basis outside the chatroom...email, instant messages, other communities like this one (I have brought many of my group here). We are more than just people that meet in a chatroom...we are friends.
If we are truly friends here, then we care enough to have contact and find a way to do it outside the forum long before the forum has an issue. It's kind of an automatic thing.
If you were completely cut off from the people here that you care about when this site went down, then take that as a sign that you need to strengthen your friendship bonds a bit more then you have.
It's kind of like the physical workplace where you see and talk to the same people every day. How can you call any of them friends when all the contact you have is only at work? You don't have a phone number, address...never spent any time together outside of work. If your place of employment burns down to the ground in the middle of the night, it's likely you will never see them again. That's not a friend...that's an acquaintance.
Because if they were really your friend, while the place of employment is going up in flames, you know where to find them, and are probably either on the phone with them talking about it or are some place in person with them talking about it....because the bond transcends the place and spills over to elsewhere.
At its core, this forum is no different than things in real life. And online & off, friendship works the same way.
If you were cut off completely, WE don't need to do something...YOU do. And I am pretty sure you know what it is YOU need to do.
