Bulgari Gold Succumbs to Ceramics With Jewelry Hostage
In June, Bill Doddridge flew his single-engine Cessna 400 to Twentynine Palms Airport near California's Mojave Desert and headed for an abandoned mine, a .45-caliber pistol on his belt. He was looking for gold.
The firearm was to ward off rattlesnakes. The precious metal would be a sideline to his jewelry business. He sifted through dirt, climbed into shafts, and later bought the property, shuttered since World War II.
"If we're not making money selling gold, we might as well get into mining it," says Doddridge, 55, chief executive officer of Tustin, California-based Goldenwest Diamond Corp., a privately held company that owns 17 Jewelry Exchange stores and an online site. "It's a whacked out world."
The rising value of bullion -- reaching a record $1,431.25 an ounce on Dec. 7 -- has upended the economics of jewelry for buyers and sellers alike, with a mix of outcomes around the world. U.S. purchases of gold jewelry have fallen 36 percent by volume in three years. Women in India, where demand is booming, are buying hollow bangles made to look like solid gold. European jewelers are mixing the metal with steel and ceramics. Turkish exporters are closing offices as orders fall.
"The jewelry business is being held hostage by something completely out of its control," says Michael Langhammer, CEO of Quality Gold, a Fairfield, Ohio, privately held wholesaler that Langhammer says is redesigning pieces to use more silver.
Customers' Buying Power
Gold's price has climbed about 200 percent since the debut in November 2004 of a bullion-backed exchange traded fund created by a World Gold Council trust, allowing the metal to be acquired on the New York Stock Exchange as easily as shares.
Global purchases of gold jewelry were $20.9 billion by value in the third quarter, 38 percent above the year-ago period, according to the London-based World Gold Council, which represents mining companies, and GFMS Ltd., a research firm in London. Demand by volume has diminished in some countries and increased in others, and the gold jewelry industry has to adjust to customers' buying power depending on where they are.
Not knowing how high the price will go makes deciding on styles and ingredients a challenge, Doddridge says. He acquired the mine, for a sum he won't disclose, as a defense. "Gold is the only thing screwing up this business," says Doddridge, who expects his total 2010 sales to be up about 7 percent and sales of gold items to be down about 25 percent.
Tungsten, Titanium
Designers are scaling back on gold parts or relying on gold that isn't as pure. At Richline Group, a manufacturer in Mount Vernon, New York, owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., 40 percent of sales are in gold, compared with more than 70 percent in 2006, says Chief Marketing Officer Mark Hanna. Signet Jewelers Ltd., with more than 1,300 shops in the U.S. and about 550 in the U.K., is offering more silver, tungsten and titanium, says Ed Hrabak, senior vice president of merchandising at the world's largest jewelry retailer.
Rome-based Bulgari SpA, the world's third-largest jeweler, expanded the range of rings in its B.zero1 line, which were solid gold in 2000, to include ones that mix gold with ceramics.
"We are focusing more than in the past on the combination of different materials," says Francesco Trapani, Bulgari's CEO. "This is an interesting way to introduce something more appealing, more exciting to the final client -- a way of proposing things that can be less expensive."
'Gold-Centric' Customers
Tara Jewels Ltd. invented Honeydium, a mix of silver, copper, zinc and indium that the Mumbai-based company says on its website gives "the perception" of 10-karat yellow gold.
In India -- both the largest consumer of bullion and biggest manufacturer of gold jewelry -- the passion for gold bangles, necklaces and earrings is centuries old. Despite the price, third-quarter growth in demand for gold jewelry was 36 percent, according to the World Gold Council.
"The Indian consumer is gold-centric," says Rajeev Sheth, managing director of Tara Jewels, which supplies Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and other retailers and owns 30 domestic shops. "That won't change if it becomes $2,000 an ounce or $3,000 an ounce."
Tara Jewels plans to raise about 2 billion rupees ($44 million) in an initial share sale next year to expand its retail network in India, where the economy grew 8.9 percent in the third quarter. The company has a plant in Panyu, China, and three factories in Mumbai, including one with 1,600 workers who walk on mats with raised ridges to dislodge gold flecks that catch in their shoes.
The Real Thing
The gold products in stores change as values mount, Sheth says. The company is selling 1- and 2-gram gift coins for housewives with 5,000-rupee gold-buying budgets that put 5-gram (0.2 ounce) coins out of reach.
Gold is a requisite wedding gift in India and an investment displayed on married women's arms. Only the real thing is prized, and anything under 18 karats -- 75 percent pure -- isn't considered real.
"Gold is a must," says Dhara Shah, a bride-to-be, as she shops with her aunt for 22-karat pieces at Dwarkadas Chandumal Jewellers, where an electronic sign displays the price of bullion in red letters.
The walls are festooned with bridal sets, necklaces and earrings that contain as much as 100 grams of the metal and command 230,000 rupees or more. Shah says her budget is about 350,000 rupees, and she's spending it now.
The price of gold "is going to go up more," Shah, 27, says. "People are going to buy, however poor they are or however rich they are. It's a good investment."
Only 60 Grams
Madhurima Vasisht, a housewife in Delhi, couldn't give her younger daughter as many pieces for her wedding this year as she did for her older daughter, who married five years ago. "My budget has just gone upside down," she says.
In Bangalore, Purushotham Hemanth, 25, says he can only afford 60 grams of gold for his February wedding, not the 80 grams he had planned on. "I always wanted to give my wife the best bangles and necklaces," says Hemanth, a real estate agent. "It is proving to be a bit difficult to raise the money."
To accommodate salaries that aren't rising as fast as gold, retailers say they have to be creative. "The budget remains the same, the income remains the same, but they want the jewelry to look big enough," says Deepak D. Tulsiani, the second-generation owner of Dwarkadas Chandumal Jewellers.
More Hours
That means making light-weight pieces, and bangles that are hollow, which is more labor intensive. At the Bank brothers' one-room workshop in Mumbai, 90 grams of gold can be fashioned into six bangles, 2- to 3-centimeters wide, in about 12 hours. Using fewer grams takes hours more, says Abhijit Bank, 41, who owns the shop with his 37-year-old brother Sujit.
In the workshop, in an alley past the sari wholesalers behind Zaveri Bazar, 10 craftsmen sit at wooden benches. Watched over by posters on the green walls, including one of Lord Ganesha, remover of obstacles and bringer of good fortune and luck, they use blow torches to bend the metal, tweezers to place gems into earrings and conical rods to shape bangles.
"They need to be more careful, because light gold is very soft," Abhijit Bank says, sitting cross-legged on the floor.
At Istanbul's six-century-old Grand Bazaar, one of the world's largest covered markets, gold is so central that rents are paid in it. Around 5 kilograms covers a year in a 215-square-foot shop. There are more than 1,200 jewelry merchants in more than 60 streets and alleyways.
Locals still come seeking the bangles and coins given at weddings, births and other special occasions. Tourists who are the bazaar's mainstay are showing less interest in gold because of the price, retailers say.
Labor Costs
"European clients aren't buying anymore," says Ismail Yilmaz, a 24-year veteran of the bazaar who works for the jeweler Sait Koc.
Domestic demand in Turkey was up 3 percent by volume in the third quarter, according to a World Gold Council report citing GFMS data. Exports have fallen 20 percent over the past three years, according to the Istanbul Mineral and Metals Exporters' Association, as production migrates to lower-wage countries.
The luxury business has been "cut like a knife," says Cihan Kamer, chairman of Atasay, which makes gold jewelry for export. Since 2008, Atasay has closed six of its nine foreign offices, including one it opened in New York 27 years ago.
The industry is squeezed by the steep price of gold and high labor costs, says Cihat Cirpici, owner of Hibas Kuyumculuk, a wholesaler that moved its operations to Dubai from Istanbul. Minimum wage in Turkey is 760.50 liras a month, or around $500.
Wedding World
"We can't set the price on gold, we can only put the price on labor," Cirpici says. "Before, if you had $5 million in capital, you could do a lot with gold. Now, you can't."
The slump is apparent at Kuyumcukent, or Goldsmith's City, a seven-story complex behind Ataturk Airport that was imagined by the Jewelers Cooperative of Istanbul as an integrated production, processing and retailing center.
When it opened four years ago, merchants were told rent would be free until the shops were 50 percent occupied. They still pay nothing. The cooperative is rebranding Kuyumcukent, as Wedding World.
"People who have been in this business all their lives are moving to diamonds, if they're lucky, or otherwise they're unemployed, or driving taxis," says Alaatin Kameroglu, chairman of the Istanbul Goldsmiths' Association. He estimates employment in the sector has fallen 20 percent in two years.
"If the price of gold keeps going up," he says, "worse things will happen."
'Auspicious' Gold
In China, gold demand may double within a decade, according to the World Gold Council. In the next five years, household wealth may more than double to $35 trillion, surpassing Japan's to become the second highest, according to Credit Suisse AG analysts. Sales of gold jewelry rose 8 percent by volume and 39 percent by value in the third quarter, gold council data show.
"When the price is going up, there are still people going in," Cheng Binghai, chairman of the Shanghai Gold & Jewelry Trade Association, said in a Bloomberg Television interview.
Caishikou Department Store in Western Beijing's Xuanwu district has posted a sign at the entrance. "The Number One Gold Shop in China," it declares.
Yan Jie says he drove two hours to the store from Baoding in Hebei province with his fiancé Yang Hongwei, a 23-year-old accountant, and his parents.
"Although we haven't fixed a date for the wedding, we'd like to buy gold now before the price goes crazy," says Yan, a government worker who is also 23. His mother, Gao Xuemei, 46, says no other metal will do as she settles on "Rejoicing Dragon and Phoenix" rings for 3,532 yuan ($528) for the couple.
Mao Pendants
"Buying and holding gold is just an auspicious thing to do," says Gao, who runs a tea house. "Gold, as wedding gifts to children, will not only keep its value, but also give them a decent look."
Among the items at the store are 31.99-gram pendants portraying the face of Mao Zedong and bars stamped with images of the God of Fortune and Rabbit, the sign for Chinese lunar year of 2011. The bars, most of them weighing from 50 grams to 1,000 grams, are priced at 327 yuan per gram.
The Asian and U.S. markets couldn't be more different, says Sheth of Tara Jewels. Honeydium, the new alloy, is intended for Americans and others who aren't emotionally attached to gold, Sheth says.
"They would rather have a big oversized gold-plated silver ring for Christmas with diamonds in it than have a tiny thin piece of gold with diamonds in it," he says. "They are more concerned about perceived value -- bang for the buck."

Let's hope it continues. at this pace, how long before have the job count back that we had in, oh, say, November 2008 ?
I can't wait to read about this 10 more times! No but seriously, it's a good sign finally. I was pretty excited by the record numbers on Black Friday and I'm glad to see it's showing at least some kind of trend of recovery for workers.
I don't know about six more years. It's hard to tell but that would be a whole decade lost to this recession. It was a bad recession, but I don't think it was that bad. I think the recovery should get more and more rapid once it gets started. Then again, the after-effects of this year and a half long recession has been notoriously unpredictable.
It started in 2007 and we're about half way through a decade, so I'm being optimistic about it being six years.
Well it's been four years since it started in December 2007. Recoveries tend to be kind of quick, though. Just like recessions, recoveries tend to snowball. Not as quickly, of course. Maybe I'm just stupid. It'd be interesting to get some feedback from +The Wall Street Journal. Maybe they can shed light on how recessions and recoveries occur historically.
James Salsman
+Ben Smith you want the graphs on www.calculatedriskblog.com/2012/01/employment-summary-part-time-workers.html Sadly, this one is profoundly different, and will remain so for as long as the Fed keeps paying interest on excess reserves.
The interesting number will be the January figures. December is full of temp retail jobs that won't readily convert to full time. They are also not "high end" jobs.
As long as the numbers are not manipulated (and that is why it is important to keep tabs on the OTHER employment figures that take into account sector and underemployed figures.)
As long as the numbers are not manipulated (and that is why it is important to keep tabs on the OTHER employment figures that take into account sector and underemployed figures.)
+Ben Smith I don't believe we can rely on historical data on previous recessions to predict the recovery will be as quick as before because factors have changed, e.g.:
Heidi Shierholz from Economic Policy Institute says it will take 7 more years:
Heidi Shierholz from Economic Policy Institute says it will take 7 more years:
Yeah agreed to an extent. But you also can't really take any predictions on the subject at more than face value. Nobody has really been able to predict this recovery. Like, at all.
+Paula Kinsella Michels - careful. that's the same kind of argument used by global warming deniers.

text: Posted November 22, 2013 I figure the point is to get into the playoffs. Then you worry about who you play and where. The goal is to win the division and that is what we are trying to do. We have 6 games left. Lets see how many we can win. Then we can figure out what happens from there.. Exactly. Talk to me once we're in the playoffs. I'm optimistic it will happen, but it's a bit premature to think about seeding when we aren't even in the dance yet. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunday's Super Bowl XLV landed 111 million viewers, setting a new record as the most-watched telecast in TV history. The figure tops the 106.5 million who watched the 2010 game between New Orleans and Indianapolis.
The Green Bay Packers' vicitory over 2009 NFL champs the Pittsburgh Steelers enjoyed a five percent increase from last year's previous viewership high of 106 million viewers. The 1983 series finale of M-A-S-H had held the title of the most-watched TV show in the United States for 27 years. It's now No. 3. The five most-watched events in American TV history are now "M-A-S-H" (seen by just under 106 million people on Feb. 28, 1983) and the last four Super Bowls.
According to Nielsen Co., viewer numbers for the game peaked between 9:30 PM and 10 PM, with 117.2 million viewers, and then decreased to 110.2 million viewers from 8-8:30 PM during The Black Eyed Peas' Halftime Performance.

Henry V
by William Shakespeare
Henry V Warfare Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line)
Quote #10
thou would have such a one, take me. And take me,
take a soldier. Take a soldier, take a king. And what
sayest thou then to my love? Speak, my fair, and
fairly, I pray thee. (5.2.171-175)
This is weird. Why does Henry try to pass himself off a simple soldier when he tries to woo Catherine? (We already know that he's anything but.) As Henry insists over and over again in this scene that he's a "soldier," we begin to think that he approaches his pursuit of Catherine with the same kind of dogged determinism that he approaches warfare.

BWW Blog: Bob Marks - Your Performance Goals in the Context of Your Lifestyle
by Guest Blogger: Bob Marks - Jul 15, 2016
As one of the pianists for the original Broadway production of Annie, many of my voice teacher colleagues were horrified at the thought of little girls being asked to belt out songs such as 'Tomorrow' and 'Hard Knock Life.' And yet, many of these teachers refused to accept those young girls as students! At that time, many voice teachers would not agree to teach students who had unchanged, prepubescent voices. They were under the impression that voice lessons could permanently damage a child's voice, which remained a widely accepted belief for many years. (more...)

Hollywood Video haunts former customers
Were you a customer of Hollywood Video before they went out of business?
If so, you need to hear what happened to one woman who was just hit with a major collection notice from the bankrupt chain. It could happen to you, too.
Closed, But Not Gone
Hollywood Video and Movie Gallery stores across the country are locked tight, shelves empty of movies, after filing bankruptcy more than a year ago.
End of story? Hardly.
This ghost movie chain is now asking Nicole Detmer and many other former customers, for money.
Nicole said, "I found on one of my credit reports that I had been reported to a collection agency back in October."
So Nicole contacted the collection agency -- National Credit Solutions -- and learned that she supposedly owed the video store $645 in late fees. It seems her late fee kept compounding.
No Way of Fighting the Bill
Nicole asked the phone agent if she could discuss the bill with someone from Hollywood Video, but told me, "she said there was no way to reach Hollywood Video, that they were gone, and that all their accounts had been turned over to them."
Nicole was outraged, saying she has no recollection of owing late fees.
She said "I would have expected them to send some sort of notice, like 'you need to pay your late fee before we close,' some sort of heads up."
Attorney General Files Suit
Montana's Attorney General has just filed suit against National Credit Solutions, for fraud and deception, saying the collections agency is now hitting thousands of customers with similar requests for money.
The AG calls the requests "exorbitant and unreasonable."
National Credit Solutions did not return our call or e-mail asking for a comment or help for Nicole.
But the attorney general suggests anyone who is told they owe money for late fees should NOT pay the bill, but rather write to the collection agency and dispute it.
Check Credit Report
The lawsuit claims many customers, not just Nicole, are finding out about the collection notices only when they check their credit reports.
That means that one little late fee could now hurt your credit, and impact your ability to get a car loan or mortgage.
So frequent Hollywood Video customers who are planning to apply for a loan soon may want to check their credit file.

Released: Nov 01st, 2002
Running Time: 65
Company: Inferno Films
Cast: Bernard, Bernie, Morry, Tony (II), Wolfgang, Andres (II)
Critical Rating: A 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
A much stronger box than feature, stock this in new release/foreign sections.
What the hell is going on here? This German oddity features a man walking a leashed boytoy, a few scenes with a large fellow who has no business being in a porn video (who wears a sweater vest with nothing else, anyway?!) and cumshots followed by the cracking of eggs and spreading of yolk over a man's body. Not helping in the sex department is the actual absence of sex in a lot of spots. The action that is here is hurt by odd edits, flaccid dicks and sequences that just end with no payoff. Even at 65 short minutes, this feature quickly overstays its welcome.

Injured woman not yet travel-ready

Tyler Kilpatrick will have to wait a little longer to return home per doctor's orders.
Kilpatrick, 22, was stabbed several times while in Mexico City on Nov. 29. Her lungs and pancreas were punctured, leaving her in the hospital for several days.
She is out of the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. However, she will not be able to fly back to the United States and return to Hendersonville until early next week, according to her father, J.J. Kilpatrick.
Doctors want the young woman to keep her lungs fully inflated a few more days before she travels in an airplane. The Council of Independent Business Owners of Asheville will be providing the aircraft to pick up Tyler, according to Mike Plemons of the council.
Tyler, a 2006 Hendersonville High School graduate and a junior at UNC-Asheville, was in Mexico City in a foreign exchange program.
A trust fund has been established at Macon Trust Bank. If you would like to donate, make checks payable to the Tyler M. Kilpatrick Benefit Trust. The organizations collecting are The Hendersonville American Legion, Hendersonville Elks Lodge No. 1616, Crooked Creek Golf Club and Hannah Flanagan's in Hendersonville.

I have the Verizon case with the kick stand. I like it because it's easy to remove because I'm always using a car and home dock.
I have 3 boxers myself. I would say my phone is more like a Floppy Llama though.
I'm running Raider 2.5.2 ATM.
Longer to charge.
I did notice that it takes considerably longer to charge my phone after the update.
One time I was using GPS for awhile and I noticed my battery was low. Turns out that the plug going into the phone was sort of loose since there...

10th European Day of Languages: what's happening near you
06.10.2011 'You live a new life for every new language you speak; if you know only one language, you live only once.' This Czech proverb is one of the slogans for the 10th European Day of Languages, which will be marked on and around 26 September with events including conferences, quizzes, poetry readings and street games.
The aim is to promote language learning and celebrate Europe's linguistic diversity, from the 23 'official' languages of the EU to its wealth of co-official, regional and minority languages and dialects.
Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, will sign a joint declaration with Thorbjørn Jagland, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, to re-affirm their commitment to multilingualism. "The benefits of speaking a language other than your native tongue are easy to see. Whether you're working abroad in Germany, studying in France or on holiday in Cyprus, it's a huge advantage to be able to communicate directly with the local population. Languages broaden the mind, open up new horizons and will increase your employability," said Commissioner Vassiliou.
In Cyprus, this year's European Day of Language will be celebrated with an event under the theme "Cypriot Dialect: a Cultural Heritage". The event is organised by the European Commission Representation in cooperation with the University of Cyprus, with the participation of Greek and Cypriot academics, research scientists and people of the arts. It will be hosted by the University of Cyprus on 13 October 2011 in the main auditorium at 17:00-20:00. A parallel Cypriot book and photo exhibition will be held.
The EU invests €1 billion a year on schemes to boost language skills and other competences through initiatives such as Erasmus, which allows higher education students to spend part of their studies or training in another country. 400 000 predominantly young people benefit from EU 'mobility' grants each year through Erasmus and other schemes such as Leonardo da Vinci (vocational training) and Youth in Action (volunteering/youth work). As part of its commitment to language learning and skills, the Commission wants to double the number of these grants under its proposed budget for 2014-2020 (see IP/11/857). In addition, the EU invests around €50 million a year to support language-based activities and projects.
The first European Day of Languages, celebrated in 45 countries, was held in 2001 at the initiative of the Council of Europe. It aims to raise public awareness of the languages used in Europe, to promote cultural and linguistic diversity and to encourage people to learn languages. The Commission's translation 'field offices' across the EU are organising numerous events, and the highlights include a Language Music Festival in London, launched as part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad, a round-table on the role of language skills for integration in Berlin, and poetry readings by translators and artists in various languages in four cities in Latvia. A campaign to attract more Dutch-language interpreters to the EU institutions will be launched in Brussels and the Hague.

Lion of St. Mark
Venetian, 17th or 18th century; the guilded winged lion is the symbol of St. Mark and the emblem of the City of Venice; this staute was removed from Venice by British Forces when they evacuated the Venetian fortress on Corfu in 1809. The open book in front of the lion of St. Mark's has four lines on each side. The left side of the page has the following words written in each line; Pax, Tibi, Mar and CE. On the right side, the book features these words; Evan, Geli, Sta and Meus. When translated into English these words mean "Peace to you, o Mark, my evangelist".

Issue with my cats
Over a year ago
I love my cats so much but they recently developed a problem. They started peeing everywhere! My mom found out and now I have to keep my cats locked outside. We put food and water out there. We live in the country in a very peaceful area but I feel so sad. My mom says its okay cats are meant to be outside and they love and need it… I don't know though a part of me still feels broken and missing. My cats are 15 and 9 years old I really don't know what to do, how to deal with it or anything…

There are a couple possible reasons why your cats may be doing this. First, are either of them males? Male cats are more prone to developing bladder stones (like our kidney stones) which makes it extremely painful to pee and can even block their systems resulting in death. One of my cats has this problem and he must be kept on a special diet to inhibit the development of stones. However, female cats can get them too and they can be just as painful. Second, sometimes when one cat has an accident or is sick, the other cat will begin "marking" their terrority or believe it is acceptable to go outside the litter box. Getting a calming phermone plug in sometimes helps with this. If they are going in the same spot consistently, put ground red pepper or chili powder in the area. It will burn their noses and keep them from going over there. We have also used foil, although they sometimes would go on the foil anyway. You should have your cat checked out to make sure they aren't sick. Peeing in unwanted places is often a sign they are not well, especially at 15. If nothing is wrong or none of these works, try replacing their litter boxes. Plastic litter boxes hold the ammonia smell which can cause cats to avoid their boxes. Replacing them with a new box will bring them back to the litter boxes.
I am against putting your cat outside. They live longer, healthier, happier lives inside and do not destroy local animal populations. I have two VERY large cat breeds and they NEVER want outside. They are prefectly comfortable inside and I am happy that I don't have to buy flea and tick medication for them and constantly take them to the vet because they have gotten injured somehow. I think its cruel to force a family member to live outside when you sit in your cozy home.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

I made an outdoor enclosure for the kitties using cargo netting.
It's black netting with a weather resistant coating that you can buy online (sold by the foot).
Our enclosure has a very large elevated wood deck to keep the kitties off the ground to help ensure that they don't get fleas & worms. In the enclosure, they have litter boxes (natural horse bedding for the litter), potted plants that are safe for cats and potted wheat grass for them to eat. There's a small tool shed in the enclosure with beds in it. There's also a tree trunk for them to claw and climb on.
If you can only afford to buy the netting, that's much better than letting them roam free.
You mom is wrong about kitties needing to be outside. You can make an indoor environment that they'll be quite happy in. But, in your case, because your mom won't tolerate the peeing, I guess you need to go with an outdoor enclosure.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Hey @AngelaKitten,
Sorry to hear your mom isn't letting you bring your cats indoors with you!
While all animals should enjoy the outdoors at times for fresh air and excercise, it is very dangerous to keep them outside all the time. Please share this info with your mom: http://www.peta.org/issues/companion-animals/outdoor-cats.aspx
You could try covering furniture and areas they are peeing on with plastic so that it doesn't get damaged.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Sometimes older pets develop incontinence with age, which is what it sounds like in your case if they never had this problem before. And while cats do enjoy outside (I, personally, think it cruel to keep them confined 24/7 to an apartment, for example), you want to make sure they still have contact with people, proper shelter/ heat/ cool air (depending on weather conditions), and maybe some inside time if you can swing it. But lots of lovings…it's important because a lot of people, when their cats get to this stage, just kind of forget about them – about giving them attention and lovins. The cats can then turn feral.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Hi :)
I started a noticeboard quite a while ago, but it had to be put on hold. At the time everything worked fine, however now when I click on the Comments RSS, on all the inner pages, such as this page for example (it's a clients site and don't want it picked up by the SE, hense why I am not posting it as a link :)
http://locumocean dot com/Noticeboard/?page_id=19
This is the error message
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND comment_approved = '1' ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 10' at line 1]
SELECT wp_comments.* FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_post_ID = AND comment_approved = '1' ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 10
However the Comments RSS on the homepage works fine.
I need to get this sorted asap, so would be greatful of any help.

Tips to Reduce Catch-and-Release Mortality
Floaters around your boat? You can help save them by descending them back down!
Rhode Island marine anglers who fish the deeper water are often faced with looking over the side of the boat and seeing their released fish bobbing around on the top of the water like floating balloons. This is not only unsightly; it causes mortality of released fish, and can leave a bad wasteful impression in an anglers mind after an otherwise successful fishing trip.
Descending devices are conservation tools that can be used to return fish to deep water and alleviate the "balloon" trail behind your vessel. Descending devices not only get the fish off of the surface, they can increase survival of the deep water caught fish that anglers wish to return to the water. They are becoming more common in use on the West, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic Coasts, and could prove beneficial for some of our east coast fisheries, especially in the Mid-Atlantic Area, for black sea bass, tautog, and tilefish, all species that are typically caught in more the 60 feet of water.
When fish are brought up from deep water, they often suffer from barotrauma. Similar to the bends that scuba divers sometimes experience, barotrauma is the trauma caused by the expanding gases in the body from changes in barometric pressure as a body rises too rapidly to the surface. Fish with barotrauma effects, may look stiff and dead, have extended eyes (pop eyes), enlarged air bladder which results in the stomach forces out through the esophagus. Yes, that's the stomach, not the air bladder. People often mistake the protruding stomach for the air bladder and puncture it, which is very injurious to the fish.
Barotrauma effects restrict a fish from swimming back down when released at the surface. Thus, it leaves them floating helpless on the surface subject to pry by birds, other fish, or dangerous surface conditions such as warmer water than they are used to. Some fish may eventually work their way back down, but, needless to say, many of these thrown back, bloated surface floaters, will not survive. To deal with the floaters, some anglers will "vent" the fish. Venting is done by sticking a needle into the side of the fish to puncture its body cavity and release the expanded gases in it. In many cases venting will allow the fish to swim back down, and is a quick way to reduce floaters if you are catching lots of fish that you need to release quickly. However, venting can leave the fish subject to internal injuries, infections, and attraction of predators.
Descending devices, in some cases, are a better method than venting. These devices allow you to return a fish to the depth you caught it, without puncturing and causing more serious injury. Simply getting the fish down to the depth it was taken from allows water pressure to expel, or recompress, the expanded gases in their bodies as they are descended, and many fish reassume normal behavioral activities quite soon after their underwater release. Studies on west coast rockfish have demonstrated high survival rates for descended fish with some fish surviving the barotrauma effects of being caught from hundreds of feet below the surface.
Some descending devices are simple tools that can be made at home with inexpensive materials. One such device is a weight with an inverted barbless hook (facing down) so it can be jerked upwards out of the fish when it reaches the bottom. Another easily constructed device to descend fish down is a weighted utility "milk" crate with a long rope. These are also available for purchase at some tackle shops or marine supply stores.
Very importantly, anglers who descend fish must not forget proper fish handling at the surface. Removing hooks quickly if hooked in the lip or mouth, or by cutting the line if the fish has swallowed the hooked to deeply, handling the fish gently as possible, and getting it back into the water quickly, will greatly enhance the ability of all released fish to survive, especially the ones that have to contend with barotrauma effects. NOAA reports that 60 percent of the fish caught by marine anglers are released back to the water (that's 207 million fish in 2011). A common theme when requesting feedback from experienced anglers about their observations of the general fishing community is that the majority of anglers are not releasing fish correctly. Needless to say, greater conservation benefits would accrue to all or recreational fish stocks if more anglers would use proper fish release methods, and any efforts to reduce mortality by descending fish after poor surface handling would be less effective.
So, the next time you come across an old utility crate, consider putting some rope and weight on it, rig up your own inverted hook and weight release device, or take a look in a catalog for fish descending devices, and add them to your fishing gear. Try them out on your next deep water fishing trip. Most importantly, let the Rhode Island Marine Fisheries section and fisheries researchers know how useful and workable you find the devices. You then could consider yourself to be a Descender Pioneer for east coast conservation efforts to improve the release survival of deep water caught fish!
Regulations in red are new this year.

"Hearst Castle in San Simeon" Top 5 Page for this destination San Simeon by pigletsmom
San Simeon Travel Guide: 122 reviews and 374 photos
Hearst Castle is a fantastic historical palace filled with art in a lovely architectural setting. San Simeon is located about 3 hours north of Santa Barbera. If you can get to Hearst Castle I would highly recommend it. Just the drive up the hill to the castle is spectacular. The rooms are filled with art from Europe, and the building itself is a lovely spanish revival. The pools are extraordinary, with the indoor Roman pool being my favorite. Hearst Castle is one of the prettiest places in all of California. Not to be missed!
The architectural style for the castle was desgined in spanish revival, and is absolutely lovely. The architect was Julia Morgon whose distinquished career was working mostly for the Hearst family.
- Pros:Rivals European chateaus and Castles
- Cons:Hours away from other major tourist cities
- In a nutshell:Well worth the drive, you won't be dissapointed!

The Hearst Castle must have been quite a beautiful place! I enjoy touring historic homes, too. Happy New Year...regards from Texas.
Hearst Castle is relatively close to me, yet I've never been here. Your photos are gorgeous!
What an interesting place, San Simeon. I would love to visit here someday.
Great photos and tips for one of my favorite places, Central Coast...you've capture the 'magic' of it quite well! Only thing I would add is to encourage folks to visit Cambria, Cayucos, Harmony and the great wineries toward Paso Robles...it's heavenly!
Elissa, what a delightful page about Sam Simeon and Hearst Castle. Beautiful introduction. Pools (in & out) look & sound marvelous. Cambria sounds like my kind of place, especially the Sea Crest Restaurant. Thanks.
