If you are on a limited budget, keep in mind that if you feel you can t afford a diamond as white as you would like and still have the size and sparkle that's important, setting the stone in a white gold or platinum may make the diamond appear more white than it really is. When storing your silver jewelry, try and keep it out of the air as much as possible and make sure it's dry possibly in a press sealable plastic bag as humidity can speed up the tarnishing process. To keep that nice, rich shine use a soft cotton cloth or a jewelry cloth to polish and buff your jewelry.
As you begin to look at diamonds, try on all of the shapes; you may discover you like a shape you might not have considered otherwise. The word sapphire comes from the Greek sappheiros meaning blue. However, sapphire does not occur only in blue color.
Natural color diamonds are a unique, contemporary fashion twist on the standard white diamond. Simple banded bracelets, often rubber-band bracelets of various colors are wore to project certain meanings and personal stories, or to project "belonging" or loosely "membership" of a group. You can now be a cool dude or foxy kitten by wearing certain bracelets that have been chosen carefully to denote special groups, or clans.
Some women prefer their princess cut diamond stud earrings, to have a colored diamond. Caring for Silver Jewelry Sterling silver jewelry does have a tendency to scratch more often than other metals, and may tarnish over time. Proper care can ensure however that the jewelry remains shiny and well kept.
So, while it's important to know what the flaw grade is to be sure you are paying the correct price, this is the factor you can stretch the farthest without affecting the beauty of the diamond you select. Many people choose a piece of jewelry according to its percentage of solid gold. For example, if inside or on a piece of jewelry you see a marking that reads 10ct, you ll want to know what that means.
Diamond Rings is affiliated with Diamond Solitaire Engagement Rings. Fabric bracelets are very popular among those who have a reaction to metals or plastics, and those who want to avoid synthetic accessories. Plastic bracelets in particular have recently become very popular among teenagers due to a re-appearance of old styles.
The larger the diamond, the more it weighs. There is a high demand from quality fashion lovers everywhere to obtain fur coats. Some ways they are going about this is through fashion marketing, fashion shows, fur trade fairs and so much more.
We can make diamonds using the Earth's inner forces, extreme pressure and heat. In the jewelry store a moissanite dealer will always show the stones under a pink tinged light, as this tends to cancel out the fluorescence. Many people say they loved their moissanite ring until they got it into the sunlight.
Cleaning also helps to ensure that you ll see the full beauty of the diamond; diamond can become very dirty just from customers handling them, and, as a result, look less brilliant and sparkling than they really are. Another reason is that I've always dressed for comfort, not for the sake of fashion. Since malls are the preferred hangout of teenagers and young adults, I missed seeing many of the fashion trends.
And even in diamonds classified as I flaws are not immediately visible when the diamond is set, especially when worn. Swatch was not so much marketing time-telling as it was fun, fashion and accessories. Knowing a few basic facts about gold can help you to select the jewelry most appropriate for you and can keep you from becoming a scam artist victim.
Selecting a Diamond The diamond engagement ring has emerged as the universal symbol of love and commitment between two people. Although sapphires occur in a wide variety of colors, traditionally blue has been the most popular and valuable. The blue sapphire gem was widely used in jewelry of royalty and was considered the most appropriate stone for ecclesiastical rings.
Just make sure you understand the 4 C's and how they can affect t the price of a diamond. If you are worried about cleaning your bracelet, you might want to take it to a professional jewelry maker and ask them about cleaning your bracelet. This way you know it will be cleaned right, without damage done to your bracelet.
Understand what factors affect the price of a diamond. An opal bracelet can have as few as one opal or as many as twenty, depending on the style and size. You should limit your time for wearing an opal bracelet because even the natural oils from your skin can damage them.
The letter D is used for diamonds that are completely clear. You want the focal part of the necklace to be either against your skin or contrasted against the fabric of your outfit. The last thing you want is a necklace that is partially hidden in your neckline.
While some woman prefer other gems to diamond, or opt for the special significant of a family heirloom, a diamond is the overwhelming choice of today's bride. Aside from the bride herself, the flower arrangements are one of the most admired elements in a wedding ceremony and at the reception. Using a wedding flower as a table arrangement is probably one of the greatest ideas that have ever been conceived for weddings.
Long before the discovery of diamonds, the blue sapphire evoked visions of heaven; the red ruby was a reminder of the very essence of life. It doesn't always have to be white lace, or even long sleeves and a veil; go with the kind of wedding dress that expresses your individuality, and speaks of just how highly you value this special occasion. Remember that as the bride, everything about the wedding is your own lookout.
The contemporary practice, predominantly western, of exchanging engagement rings is believed to have originated in 1477 when the then Roman Emperor, Maximilian I, gave Mary of Burgundy a diamond ring to consecrate their engagement the first diamond engagement ring in history ever to be recorded. This retro style has brought back thin, coloured plastic bracelets, which were worn in the 80s. In some regions, breaking these bracelets is taken as a form of courting.
Only then will that certificate number be laser inscribed onto the diamond. They can also be worn for fashion purposes. Women have been using gloves as a fashion accessory for years.
However, GIA won t issue a report on a fracture filled diamond and some jewelers don t know how to detect them. An opal thicker than 4mm may be difficult to set in a ring. The problems here are that the stones will not be a perfect shape and might need cutting again to allow them to be made into a lovely piece of jewelry.
Bold designs in gold and platinum add importance and distinctiveness to smaller diamonds. For back-to-school or back-to-work, what are the latest trends in technology fashion. Although laptop briefcases continue to be the most popular style in the laptop bag category, there are three new recent fashion trends, which mean more versatility for the laptop owner.

African Beauty - The Africa Centre
Exhibition preview
CAPITAL Culture Gallery, in collaboration with The Africa Centre, is presenting African Beauty, a photographic exhibition by photographer John Kenny, at the Covent Garden venue from Friday, May 24 to Sunday, June 9, 2013.
Africa's visual culture has long been an influence on global fashion. On the catwalk, tribal influences are often showcased in the collections of couture houses such as Balenciaga and Dior.
This exhibition of stunning monochrome and colour portraits reveals the vibrant jewellery, delicate body art, beautiful fabrics and intricate hairstyles that decorate traditional groups from across Africa.
Africa is a continent which is home to as many ethnic groups as the rest of the world combined. Seven years in the making, John Kenny has travelled through a myriad of countries in East, West and Southern Africa to create a powerful collection of photographs.
The exhibition illustrates the remarkable ways that people in traditional communities engage with material culture to express their identity.
From the fringes of the Sahara to the Great Rift Valley, and south to the arid communities of Angola and Namibia, Kenny's photographs are an important journey into social status, creativity and sense of identity that lies behind the powerful and unique aesthetic of traditional village life.
Admission: Free.
Opening Hours: Mondays – closed; Tuesday to Friday 12 to 7pm; weekends 12 to 5.30pm.

Every Sunday people walk onto your church campus and decide if they will return the following week before the preacher even opens his mouth. Many of those people don't know what to make of Jesus. They're hesitant to be in a church. They're not sure they belong. But over and over in the pages of the gospels, we see something extraordinary. People who were nothing like Jesus liked Jesus. Shouldn't that be true of his church as well? In Going Deep a Wide, Andy Stanley lays out a blueprint for becoming that kind of church. Going Deep a Wide offers practical steps to help church leaders create irresistible environments, define ministry goals, and communicate more effectively with unbelievers. Each section includes discussion materials that walk you more deeply into the content of Deep a Wide and invites conversations about how to apply what you've learned.People who were nothing like Jesus liked Jesus.

Race: Tour of Utah, Stage 2
Start/Finish: Escalante /Torrey, Utah
Distance: 159 kilometers
Torrey, Utah — Tuesday's Stage 2 of the Tour of Utah saw the peloton tackle a 159-kilometer race that featured two categorized climbs before two 17-km finishing circuits around Torrey.
The fight to get into the day's breakaway started fast and furious. Initially, eight riders escaped with two more bridging. Cannondale-Drapac controlled the peloton early into the day and wouldn't let this 10-man group gain a large gap. As the race reached the day's first intermediate sprint, Frederic Brun (Fortuneo-Vital Concept), Robin Carpenter (Holowesko-Citadel Racing Team) and Ruben Campanioni (Team Jamis) attacked off the front. As they climbed Boulder Mountain, Brun fell back to the peloton. The remaining duo soon gained a sizeable gap and the peloton was unable to bring them back. Carpenter held on to solo to the win. Team Novo Nordisk's Javier Megias finished in 21st place as part of the main bunch.
"I was really impressed with our boys today, especially Gerd and Stephen," Team Novo Nordisk Sport Director Pavel Cherkasov said. "They fought so hard today. They got dropped first, but then they came back; and they were …read more

Alonso Krangle LLP is offering free legal evaluations to any woman who sustained a life-changing injury following treatment with a transvaginal mesh device. Call today 1-800-403-6191
Melville, NY (PRWEB) July 03, 2012
Andres Alonso and David Krangle, founding partners of Alonso Krangle LLP, a national law firm committed to fighting for the rights of those injured by defective medical devices, are investigating potential transvaginal mesh lawsuit claims also known as bladder sling, lawsuit claims stemming from serious injuries associated with the use of transvaginal mesh products in the surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) continues to study the safety of transvaginal mesh used in POP and SUI repair, following reports that such devices had caused serious injuries, including erosion through vaginal tissue, pain, infection, bleeding, pain during intercourse, organ perforation during placement, and urinary problems. (http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/ImplantsandProsthetics/UroGynSurgicalMesh/ucm2025152.htm)
Alonso Krangle LLP is offering free legal evaluations to any woman who sustained a life-changing injury following treatment with the following transvaginal mesh products:
American Medical Systems' Elevate Surgical Mesh, Perigee and Apogee products
Boston Scientific's Transvaginal Mesh Pinnacle and Uphold devices
C.R. Bard Inc.'s Transvaginal Mesh, Avaulta, Pelvisoft BioMesh, Pelivicol Acellular Collagen Matrix, Pelvitext, and Pelvilace products.
Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon unit's Transvaginal Mesh Gynecare, Gynemesh, Gynecare Prolift, Gynecare Prolift+M, Gynecare Prosima and Gynecare TVT transvaginal mesh devices.
If you or a woman you care about experienced erosion and extrusion of mesh, perforation of organs, vaginal bleeding, chronic infection or pain following the transvaginal placement of any of these surgical mesh products, please contact Alonso Krangle LLP by calling 1-800-403-6191 or visit our website, http://www.FightForVictims.com.
The transvaginal mesh lawyers at Alonso Krangle LLP were disturbed to learn recently that Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon unit continued marketing its Gynecare Prolift transvaginal mesh product for nine months, after being told by the FDA to halt sales of the device. According to a report from Bloomberg News, Johnson & Johnson began selling Gynecare Prolift in 2005, believing FDA clearance was not required since Prolift was similar to a previously marketed device. It was only in 2007, when Ethicon applied for approval of the Prolift+M product that the FDA learned the company was selling Gynecare Prolift. At that time, Johnson & Johnson was notified that it would need to submit a 510(k) application for Gynecare Prolift. In a letter dated August 24, 2007, the FDA told Johnson & Johnson that it could "not market this device until you have provided adequate information." The letter further warned that continued sales of Prolift would be a "violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act." Johnson & Johnson, however, did not suspend sales of Gynecare Prolift. According to Bloomberg, the device was finally cleared for sale by the FDA nine months later, but the agency never imposed any sanctions on Johnson & Johnson for its continued marketing of Gynecare Prolift. (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-26/j-j-sold-vaginal-mesh-implant-after-sales-halt-ordered.html)
In June 2012, Johnson & Johnson confirmed that Ethicon would end worldwide sales of Gynecare Prolift, as well as the Gynecare TVT Secure, Gynecare Prosima, and Gynecare Prolift+M products by the first quarter of 2013. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Johnson & Johnson insisted that the decision to end sales of the four Gynecare products was not driven by concerns over their safety. However, the company has acknowledged that its mesh products have been named in hundreds of product liability lawsuits alleging the devices had caused serious complications in women who had them implanted to treat POP or SUI.
According to Alonso Krangle LLP, hundreds of women have filed personal injury lawsuits against the makers of transvaginal mesh devices. Four consolidated transvaginal mesh litigations involving products manufactured by Ethicon (MDL No. 2327), American Medical Systems, Inc. (MDL 2325), Boston Scientific Corp. (MDL No. 2326), and C.R. Bard (MDL 2187) are currently pending in U.S. District Court, Southern District of West Virginia. The first bellwether trial in the C.R. Bard litigation is scheduled to begin in February 2013. (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-02/bard-faces-first-federal-trial-over-vaginal-mesh-next-year-1-.html)
There is still time for women injured by transvaginal mesh to file suit in one of these litigations. To discuss a potential lawsuit claim with one of the experienced and compassionate transvaginal mesh lawyers at Alonso Krangle LLP, please contact us at 1-800-403-6191 or visit our website.

Body piercing is a form of body modification, a practice of cutting or puncturing a part of the human body, creating an opening in which jewelry may be worn. The word piercing refers to an opening in the body created by piercing the body. This form of act or practice is popular among both men and women since ancient times throughout the world.
Many areas in the body are used for piercing. Some people may develop some problems and a few may not. The most common piercing sites are ears. It involves piercing the earlobes and cartilage.
Other areas that are pierced include tongue, mouth, eyebrow, nose, genital area and navel area. Each piercing area has its own recovery time and its own set of problems. Some simple home treatments can help in healing the problems. The body piercing area swells slightly and may sometimes bleed.

John Piper Quotes About UniverseQuotes about: Universe
Worship is what we were created for. This is the final end of all existence-the worship of God. God created the universe so that it would display the worth of His glory. And He created us so that we would see this glory and reflect it by knowing and loving it-with all our heart and soul and mind and strength. The church needs to build a common vision of what worship is and what she is gathering to do on Sunday morning and scattering to do on Monday morning.
The deepest need that you and I have in weakness and adversity is not quick relief, but the well-grounded confidence that what is happening to us is part of the greatest purpose of God in the universe - the glorification of the grace and power of his Son - the grace and power that bore Him to the cross and kept him there until the work of love was done.
The formation of the life of a person in the womb is the work of God, and it is not merely a mechanical process but a work on the analogy of weaving or knitting: "Thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb" (psalm 139:13). The life of the unborn is the knitting of God, and what He is knitting is a human being in His own image, unlike any other creature in the universe... The destruction of conceived human life - whether embryonic, fetal, or viable - is an assault on the unique person-forming work of God.
The only answer in these modern times, as in all other times, is the blood of Christ. When our conscience rises up and condemns us, where will we turn? We turn to Christ. We turn to the suffering and death of Christ—the blood of Christ. This is the only cleansing agent in the universe that can give the conscience relief in life and peace in death.
The task of all Christian scholarship—not just biblical studies—is to study reality as a manifestation of God's glory, to speak and write about it with accuracy, and to savor the beauty of God in it, and to make it serve the good of man. It is an abdication of scholarship when Christians do academic work with little reference to God. If all the universe and everything in it exist by the design of an infinite, personal God, to make his manifold glory known and loved, then to treat any subject without reference to God's glory is not scholarship but insurrection.
Sometimes people stumble over this vastness in relation to the apparent insignificance of man. It does seem to make us infinitesimally small. But the meaning of this magnitude is not mainly about us. It's about God… The reason for 'wasting' so much space on a universe to house a speck of humanity is to make a point about our maker, not us.

The beautiful town of Riversdale offers Quality of Life…a truly special experience.
I have absolutely nothing remotely negative to say about De Doornkraal as everything from my arrival to my departure was flawlessly 5 star. The room was clean and very tastefully decorated with a extremely warm welcoming feel, the sheets were of the best quality and all the little extras were accounted for.
Flew into Cape Town and spent our first night here before holidaying along The Garden Route. Miranda made us very welcome, cooked our evening meal and couldn't have been more helpful. The pool area, veranda and terrace were wonderfully relaxing and it was a delight to watch the sun birds feeding whilst we had breakfast.
I was fortunate enough to discover this lovely guesthouse some years ago and have been staying there ever since on frequent trips from Cape Town to Natures Valley. It is an elegant old Victorian mansion with the most extensive and beautiful garden. I would highly recommend it and will definitely be back on my next trip!

According to the CBO, the savings come in the form of $110 billion less spent on exchange subsidies and $200 billion less spent on Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

Superply is a game to help kids learn math or other subject matters. To see how it works, consider the multiplication table. So you have 1 through 9 along the top and 1 through 9 along the left side. Initially, the interior squares are blank. You then get hints. For example, "the product is less than 30" or "the product contains a 7". Many of the product cells correspond to the hint. The issue is which one to choose.
The goal of the blue player is to build a blue path across the grid (from the leftmost column to the rightmost) where a blue path consists of a sequence blue squares such that the first one is in the left column, the last is in the right column and each square touches the next one in the sequence on a side or on a corner. The goal of the red player is to build a red path from top to bottom.
To claim a square, the blue player must choose one that satisfies the hint he/she gets and that is not already occupied. Similarly for the red player.
At any point, the state of the game is the set of squares colored blue and the set colored red. The hint can be abstracted as the set of squares satisfying the hint.
Play alternates between players.
You will play the multiplication game competitively.
You will receive hints of the following kind:
The product is odd.
The product is even.
The product is between X and Y, inclusive.
The product contains an X.
The product is less than X. You must then choose a square that satisfies the hint and is not already occupied. In the deterministic version, play proceeds sequentially through the hint sets and then repeats. In the randomized version, each hint set is chosen randomly and uniformly. Blue moves first.
Your goal is to win the game.
You will build a java applet that will communicate across some port to superply, so you can allow program-to-program play as well as program-to-human play. You will send a start command, display the result and send the parsed hint to the two sides. You will also maintain a history of previous requests that can be sent to either player. You will also declare the winner when a connected path of the proper orientation (left-right for blue and top-bottom for red) has been formed.

Insurance Coverage: Many major insurance plans no longer cover Cardizem LA and generics. Learn More
50+ Drugs Dropped by Insurance in 2016, Including Viagra and Qsymia
Elizabeth Davis - August 12, 2015
It's that time again—the new lists of covered and excluded drugs on next year's insurance plans are out, and it doesn't look great. For many Americans with health insurance, more than 50 popular brand-name and generic drugs may no longer be covered starting in January 2016.
Express Scripts and Caremark, companies that handles pharmacy benefits for more than 200 million Americans, are removing about 20 – 30 drugs each from their national preferred formularies at the end of 2015. See More
Capsule or Tablet?
Dr. Sharon Orrange - May 14, 2013
One of the most glaring examples of random pricing of medications is the varying price of capsules vs tablets. Most physicians and pharmacists know that the same medication will work just as well in a capsule or tablet form, but many don't know there is such a huge price difference. Listen up.
Aside from some obvious differences (capsules can't be crushed or split while tablets often can) here are some surprises in the capsule vs tablet discussion. See More
The Big 8 Constipation-Causing Medications
Dr. Sharon Orrange - April 18, 2013
You are all stopped up and can't find an obvious reason. Look over your medication list and you may find the source. Constipation has many causes but medications are among the most common.
First, if your stools are too hard or too small or pooping is too difficult or infrequent you are constipated. Officially, constipation is defined as a stool frequency of less than three per week. It can be miserable and medications prescribed by us, your physicians, are frequently to blame. See More

Licia never fails to amaze me by creating at least one ambitious quilling project each year. Usually it's something she magically completes at the very last minute before the annual Sydney Royal Easter Show competition - and then winds up winning awards!
Licia began talking about quilling a small bird and soon mentioned using bright papers to make all sorts of flowers...
The next thing I knew she was sending over photos of this incredibly handsome bird cage which went on to win more awards at the British Quilling Guild's convention for technical ability and intricacy.
The sturdy white struts are called bandaged bundles. Each is made of fifteen stacked and wrapped quilling strips.
Struts can be gently shaped before the glue completely hardens to create curves... trial and error teaches you when to do the shaping so the strips don't buckle. The cage has a door that opens and closes, and a chain of interlocking ring coils at the top. I love the way the bird is perched on the trapeze as if he's about to fly off to explore the fairgrounds.
This past year has been an especially busy one for Licia as one of her daughters launched an online and retail party supply store in New South Wales called House of Party. In addition to Licia's full-time job as a barber, she helps out in the shop by fringing colored tissue to make bespoke tassels that are very popular for weddings and parties.
Five or more tassels hang as tails on big helium balloons. Inserted color-coordinated tissue paper confetti makes them look even more festive. Recently Licia made colorful 1st birthday party invitations by machine stitching around the edges of vellum sheets on which the party details were printed, to hold loose confetti dots between the layers - really cute.
Another simple but eye-catching party decoration she made is this fringed heart that's about 20 inches (50 cm) high and wide. You can use tissue or crepe paper for the layers.
Licia surprised me with this beautiful box of handmade presents. She used different colored strips for the two-tone folded roses - I'll have to try that. Inside was a cute tree card composed of folded hearts and gifts wrapped in gold tissue - with tassels, of course. :) Also several sheets of specialty metallic papers to play with.
The packages contained a light blue and silver necklace and bracelet set I look forward to wearing this spring (which can't come soon enough if you ask me - brrrrrr)! The paper beads are made of rolled strips cut from security envelopes. The cross-hatch patterns are so delicate - much nicer than the ones that arrive in the mail at my house. Licia threaded the beads on sturdy black paper yarn from PaperPhine.
Believe it or not, when I snapped this photo I didn't try to arrange the necklace in a special shape - it just naturally positioned itself when I put it down. How perfectly fitting... Licia, I heart you!
Follow her on Instagram, paper_to_jewellery, and also House of Party for lots of paper goodness.

NEWCASTLE Falcons scrum-half Peter Stringer has turned double agent in the build-up to Friday's crunch match against Saracens.
The Irish veteran spent three months with the Aviva Premiership champions earlier this season, but will line up against his former club in Newcastle colours as the Falcons continue their push for top-flight survival.
Stringer said: "The Newcastle coaches have been leaning on me a little bit this week, but I suppose that is only natural when you have someone in your squad who has been with the opposition as recently as I have. I have given them a bit of an insight into what Saracens like to do but, having said that, if you watch the videos then it is reasonably obvious to anybody how they play.
"They make no bones about keeping a simple game plan that everybody is aware of, but knowing about it and stopping it are two very different things.
"They have been very successful with it and teams have struggled to beat them, but we will just concern ourselves with our own roles rather than trying to over-read the opposition."
Stringer's personal duel with South African half-back Neil de Kock is one of many mouth-watering tussles as Newcastle aim to wipe out the four-point gap between themselves and fellow strugglers London Wasps.
The Munster loan man said: "I got on really well with Neil when I was there, although he was injured for much of that time so was not involved in many of the games.
"He is a quality player, and a real vocal guy who likes to get stuck in.
"He is one of their leaders on the field, and definitely one to watch because he is right on form at the moment if he is selected.
"We have to take confidence from our last two results, though, and they way we have played in beating Gloucester and Sale rather than worrying too much about the opposition."
Despite his sparkling form during his month at Kingston Park, Stringer has confirmed that he will return to the Emerald Isle next season as talk of a move for Scotland international Rory Lawson mounts.
"I am signed with Munster for next year, and that is a decision I have made over the past few weeks," he said.
"I want to give it another go with them at the top level, and really to try and re-ignite the spark with Ireland.
"I am keen to keep playing, I am enjoying my rugby and I still have ambitions of playing at the very top. Going back to Ireland next season gives me the best opportunity of doing that."

Major Companies Join California Green Communities' Efforts
Jan 23, 2013, 07:04 EST
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- California Green Communities (CGC), a community-based challenge that encourages cities to adopt innovative, individually-designed and tailored environmental practices aimed toward a sustainable future is amassing mounting support from several major US corporations, indicating a growing trend toward a 'green economy'.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130123/LA43316LOGO)
Southern California Edison (sce.com), Green Seal (greenseal.org), and the Environmental Media Association (ema-online.org) helped to found the California Green Communities program (cagreencom.org) in 2009, but lately companies like Toyota (toyota.com), Radisson Hotel at Los Angeles Airport (radissonlax.com), Kellogg Garden Products (kellogggarden.com), WAXIE Sanitary Supplies (waxie.com), Allan Company (allancompany.com), EcoTelesis (ecotelesis), D. Edwards Inc. (dedwardsinc.com), Clements Environmental (clementsenvironmental.com) and several others have thrown their weight and backing behind the program. The full list of program Partners further includes The Energy Coalition (EnergyCoalition.org), The Alliance for Climate Education (acespace.org), Athens Services (athensservices.com), The Clean Environment Company (cleanenvironmentco.com), EcoLogic Solutions (ecologicsolutions.com), e-Recycling of California (erecyclingofca.com), Los Angeles Conservation Corps (lacorps.org), Sanitation Districts of LA County (lacsd.org), CalRecycle (calrecycle.ca.gov), The Cadmus Group (cadmusgroup.com), and Agromin (agromin.com)
"The CGC Challenge is gaining traction and global appeal," said Hal Conklin, Chair of the USA Green Communities Board of Directors. "Eventually, there are plans to roll out a similar program across the country, but for the moment the focus is on helping Southern California cities achieve their goals for a truly sustainable future. Participating cities address 10 areas that touch every aspect of community life and have the potential to significantly reduce energy use and carbon emissions. So far, Claremont, Riverside, Monrovia, Santa Clarita, Simi Valley, Culver City and Ventura have been certified for the Silver award for their accomplishments and several other cities are working towards Silver, Gold, and Platinum level trophies."
Hollywood Actress Rachelle Lefevre -- a member of the young Hollywood Board of EMA and recent CGC presenter in Culver City, California -- said, "I'm extremely inspired by the California Green Communities initiative. Being a part of this board, a group of people who both talk and walk a green lifestyle, has shown me how incredible the results can be when individuals come together to help educate people about and protect the environment. The largest changes I have seen on this front are when whole communities come together to accomplish these goals."
California Green Communities provides best practices guidelines based on the Institute for Local Government's climate change and sustainability best practices framework, offering suggestions for local action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in each area. Specific best practice suggestions can be used by each participating city to undertake standalone programs or can be part of a broad-based climate action plan. Taken together, the best practices point to new ways for cities to revitalize their communities in the following areas:
- Energy Efficiency & Conservation
- Water & Wastewater Systems
- Green Building
- Waste Reduction & Recycling
- Climate-Friendly Purchasing
- Renewable Energy & Low-Carbon Fuels
- Efficient Transportation
- Land Use & Community Design
- Urban Forestry & Carbon Offsets
- Promoting Community & Individual Action
For more information on the CGC program, each participating city's unique action plans, and the companies that have joined the effort, visit cagreencom.org.

Was watching a popular Marathi news channel y'day after long time. Medha Patkar was being interviewed. What a lady! 30 years of struggle against all kinds of injustice. As usual humble, down to earth, calm, composed and articulate. Her dedication towards her cause gives me goose bumps. If you ask me who is most qualified person in entire India to represent Indian people, I would say Medha Patkar. Be it the fight for Farmers, Tribals, Slum-dwellers or the fight to save environment, land, forest or minerals I doubt if she has ever rested in last 30 years.
Meanwhile in commercial breaks they were showing all kinds of ads. Being election season, Congress, NCP, BJP, Shiv Sena ads amused me a lot. Big words like Vikas (development) were repeated several times in Congress/NCP ads. BJP, Shiv Sena ads were focused on big personalities and their big words. The ads are made professionally and a slight naivety and you would fall for the ads. Tons of money is being spent on these ads. Most people don't know the truth behind funding for these ads. And parties would never want them to know. Their interests are best served in keeping common people in dark, so that their conspiracies can grow in the shadows. They like keeping government schools and hospitals in poor state so that their private interests can be served best. A lot of politicians have doubled their fortune in very short time. Seems like they are the best entrepreneurs in India -:)
And then, there are observers, spectators, fans, critics and analysts. They have been commenting on the entire Indian socio-political scene all the time. They are either sitting in their coach or a chair in the news studios.
For them the scene is more or less like a movie or a cricket match. Just like they get excited when Dhoni hits a six, they get excited when their favourite politician wins. And when Dhoni goes for duck they are disappointed, similarly when their favourite politician does something that media disapproves and gives him a zero, they get disappointed. All this time, they haven't left their couch or comfort zone and their commentary hasn't stopped.

I tried to journal every day. In my Pre-Vacation post I showed my toolbox of supplies that I took with me. That was actually probably more than I really needed to bring. But you never can tell.

We provide a safe haven for orphans who need hope. We advocate adoption for special kids who await adoption and transform lives with love, education, and medical care.
Redeeming lives by providing medical care, love, and education with compassion to at-risk, special-needs orphans.
Shepherd's Field Children's Village is a safe haven for at-risk, special-needs orphans who have been abandoned because they were considered broken. We love, house, and feed these children, provide surgeries and medical care for them, and seek compassionate families who will give them loving, permanent homes through adoption. While the children are here, we provide our kids with therapy, education, life skills and vocational training. We happily receive all the children God sends to us, and strive to transform hopeless lives into beautiful stories of redemption and love.
Come visit us and meet our children. We welcome visitors, and encourage interaction with our children. We have a guest house on site that can be reserved for individuals or teams, or just visit for an afternoon. Routine is important to build security and trust, so we do have visiting hours, and arrangements must be made in advance of your visit.
Each child has a story that comes with them when they arrive at Shepherd's Field, often one of hopelessness and loneliness. But here, beyond receiving medical care and therapy, they receive love and hope. Your donation helps us continue this life-changing work, and in the process, you have the privilege of knowing, loving, and connecting with a child. Join us today!

PHOENIX — Some Republicans held their noses and voted yes, but others dissented Wednesday as the Senate voted overwhelmingly to make a health care eligibility change demanded by Washington that will allow Arizona to get $1.6 billion of federal stimulus money.
The Senate also approved a separate bill to provide laid-off Arizonans with 13 additional weeks of unemployment benefits.
The Senate action set the stage for House consideration that is scheduled Thursday. House approval would send the bills to Gov. Jan Brewer. The Senate approved both bills by margins large enough to allow them to take effect immediately if the House does also.
The unemployment benefits bill (SB1322) would use federal stimulus money to raise Arizona's total benefits to 72 weeks. The vote on the unemployment bill was 27-1, with Republican Sen. Ron Gould of Lake Havasu City casting the only no vote.
In addition to the 13 additional weeks of benefits, seven more weeks would be added under the bill if Arizona's unemployment rate exceeds 8 percent. The March rate was 7.8 percent, and the state Commerce Department has said further increases are anticipated.
Several other conservatives joined Gould in voting against the other bill (SB1002), which would reverse a procedural change the state made last year. That change required some childless adults to re-qualify every six months for free health care, instead of annually.
That change took effect after a cutoff included retroactively in the stimulus law enacted by Congress in February. Federal officials said the change put Arizona out of compliance with a condition required for states to obtain additional Medicaid money through the stimulus program.
The state is counting on the Medicaid money to help close budget shortfalls in the current and next two fiscal years.
"It would be irresponsible to not make this change and give up these dollars," said Sen. Barbara Leff, R-Paradise Valley. "It makes no sense to give up $1.6 billion of our own money that we've sent to Washington."
Not good enough, Gould and other critics said.
"It's clearly giving welfare to people that no longer qualify. If you want to let the Obama administration run the great state of Arizona, do what you're going to do," Gould said during debate on the bill. "We're allowing the federal government to run us as their subordinate."
Though Gould said budget analysts scored the 2008 change as saving the state $7 million, Democratic Sen. Rebecca Rios of Apache Junction said returning to the annual eligibility determination saves the state money. That's because most beneficiaries are eligible and caseworkers waste time processing them more frequently, she said.
Sen. John Huppenthal, R-Chandler, said he would have voted for the change if necessary to provide the deciding vote but voted no because President Barack Obama's policies are damaging.
"At least I have my protest up there," Huppenthal said, referring to the Senate's electronic voting board. "The truth is what we're doing here stinks."
Republican Sen. Thayer Verschoor of Gilbert voted for the change because it helps avoid having to raise taxes to help balance the budget. Losing the $1.6 billion "would put us in one heck of a bind," he said.
Besides Gould and Huppenthal, Republican Sens. Jack Harper of Surprise and Russell Pearce of Mesa voted against the Medicaid bill.

|A panel study of over 100 countries from 1960 to 1995 finds that improvements in the standard of living predict increase in democracy, as measured by a subjective indicator of electoral rights. The propensity for democracy rises with per capita GDP, primary schooling, and a smaller gap between male and female primary attainment. For a given standard of living, democaracy tends to fall with urbnization and with a greater reliance on natrual resources. Democracy has little relation to country size but rises with the middle‐class share of income. The apparently strong relation of democracy to colonial heritage mostly disappears when the economic variables are held constant. Similarly, the allowance for these economic variables weakens the interplay between democracy and religious affiliation. However, negative effects from Muslim and non‐religious affiliations remain intact.

If you are a job seeker and are not using LinkedIn properly, you are missing out. More than ever recruiters rely on LinkedIn to find job candidates who might be interested in a new opportunity. However, if your profile isn't complete and keyword optimized, employers will have a harder time finding you.
One section of LinkedIn profiles that is often neglected is the Summary.
The Summary gives you the opportunity to write 2,000 characters about yourself, and grab an employer's attention. It's a place to highlight your specific achievements, additional trade qualifications, and internships or apprenticeships relevant to your career.
Your LinkedIn Summary is the first opportunity for a potential employer to find out a bit more about you and get some insight into the person beyond your job title and a photo. It's important not to leave this section blank – otherwise the first section employer will see is your Experience section.
Here's some advice on how to improve the summary so your profile attracts more attention.
1. Avoid mundane and over-used phrases
There are certain dry and mundane phrases that I'd recommend you don't ever use on your LinkedIn profile.
These include "self-motivated team player," "'accomplished professional" and "exceptional communicator." These phrases do absolutely NOTHING to make you stand out from others, and you are only wasting valuable space which you could use to showcase your achievements instead.
Have a look at an example of a poor LinkedIn Summary:
- I am an ambitious individual who is looking to broaden my career path. I enjoy contributing new ideas, I am self-motivated and an excellent team player. I work well under pressure and understand the importance of time management.
2. Create your USP/share your accomplishments
Your Unique Selling Proposition is a one sentence/paragraph explanation that gives the potential employer a quick overview of who you are, what you are looking for, and most importantly, what you can do for them.
You want your Summary to stand out – this means you should include some achievements and quantify them as much as possible. If you are a salesperson who's achieved 120% of your target for the last 3 years, mention it. But even if you don't have quantifiable achievements, you do need to communicate a clear reason people would want to engage with you.
You can share a list of your responsibilities and accomplishments in current and previous positions. Mention what you specialize in, what sort of clients you've been working with or what technologies you've been using. I'd suggest writing iPAR (identify Problem – Action – Result) stories in your Summary and including up to three bullets with your top accomplishments.
Make sure that you flesh out as much information as you can for each relevant position that you've had. For example:
An experienced Marketing Director with a proven track record of success within top-tier companies.
Has led significant marketing programs that have delivered tangible benefits to companies.
Achievements include:
- The development of Company X's global brand strategy, positioning, and identity.
- Taking a leading role in driving Company X's brand preference ranking globally from 6th to 2nd in 3 years.
3. Use the right keywords
Include the keywords within your profile Summary that are used in job descriptions of positions you are interested in. Try to include the keywords you think recruiters will be searching for. If a keyword appears is more job descriptions than another keyword, opt for the more often used keyword. But don't stuff your Summary with keywords. Use effective keywords and phrases where they fit so list your areas of expertise using descriptive keywords.
Remember, writing a good LinkedIn profile summary gets you noticed and will attract the right people to your profile. You get more connections and ultimately, more opportunities to advance your career.

Discussion on race? It's already happened
On Thursday morning, Trayvon Martin's parents gave their first interviews since the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the murder of their son.
I realized that I'd been waiting to hear from them for a very long time. By the time of their appearances on "CBS This Morning" and "Today," we'd already seen so many interviews, from Zimmerman's defense attorneys to his brother to "Juror B37." Most of these interviews were so clueless, obnoxious and self-aggrandizing that it was hard to believe that any of these people had anything to do with the case itself.
That was part of the problem - the whole country seems to have forgotten about the case itself, at least the part in which two parents lost their child.
Since they were successful in urging this case to be prosecuted, Martin's parents have stood quietly by while their son's story got sucked into the larger American story - in this case, about the country's lingering racism and its broken justice system. In between all of the shouting and the ugliness, I've occasionally heard positive comments about Sybrina Fulton's "strength," or Tracy Martin's "perseverance."
It's true that they have both been remarkable under the greatest of pressures - calm and sober and stoic. But they knew that this was their part to play.
They knew from historical experience that they would have to be this way, as soon as it became clear that the story of their son's death was about to become caught up in the larger American story. They've been channeling the examples that came before them - the Mamie Elizabeth Tills and the Coretta Scott Kings.
They've become symbols, not people, and if their faces look stony, it's because symbols aren't allowed to have feelings. They're making this tremendous sacrifice for their son, but they're also doing it for the rest of the country.
I suppose I watched them to find out how they were holding up. The answer is that I'm not sure yet - their struggle is ongoing; for a long time they will have to sacrifice how they feel and who they are.
On both shows, the parents sat completely still, a physical reflection of their emotional self-control. They answered each question carefully. They did not break.
On CBS, Sybrina Fulton managed to get out her words with only the faintest tremor. Again and again, she patiently pointed out the obvious: "Instead of placing the blame on the teenager, you need to place the blame on the responsible adult."
Many of her words were for the rest of the country, not for herself: "It's sending out a terrible message to young teenagers."
On the "Today" show, Tracy Martin was cautious, measured.
"I really don't have anything personal to say (to the jury)," he said, in response to a question from Matt Lauer. "I just didn't understand ... how can you let the killer of an unarmed child go free? What would your verdict have been if it were your child?" Those are horrific, wrenching questions, but his flat, subdued delivery made it clear that he wasn't sure whether anyone was ready to listen to them.
Sadly, he's right. No one wants to hear those questions.
Instead, some Americans want to insist that an unarmed teenager somehow brought death upon himself, and more enlightened Americans want to have a "national conversation on race." Never mind that the national conversation on race happened on the street outside of that gated complex in Florida, and that it happened again during that bizarre trial.
Most of those conversations were unspoken, but they were noxious and damning. That's why the country would rather have different conversations - ones without consequence.
So what we hear is huffing and puffing about why Martin shouldn't have been wearing a hoodie and what Attorney General Eric Holder shouldn't say.
Meanwhile, the life and death of a 17-year-old boy has been lost, and his parents can't even share their grief.
They didn't get justice. My hope is that one day, they'll get peace.
"How can you let the killer of an unarmed child go free? What would your verdict have been if it were your child?"
Tracy Martin, father of Trayvon Martin

With my friend and climbing partner, Greg Rimmer, we enjoyed the films but even better was rubbing shoulders with all our climbing heros in the bar; characters that we had read about in CRAGS and MOUNTAIN magazine: Ron Fawcett, Pete Livesey, Steve Bancroft, Paul Nunn, John Sheard, Chris Gibb, John Allen, Pete Crew, Geoff Birtles, Tim Lewis, Al Evans, Dave Knighton, Al Rouse, Ken Wilson, Bernard Newman.....
These were some of the climbers that defined our early climbing experience just like Chris Sharma, Dave MacLeod, and Steve McClure do for many young climbers today.
The 1980's saw a new boy on the block, Jerry Moffatt......I can see the CRAG magazine headlines now, Strawberries Repeated....17 year old Jerry Moffatt has repeated Strawberries, the first route to be graded 7a........Obviously his name is worth watching out for..., and he was, even today Jerry Moffatt is a cult figure among many young climbers. Not just for his ascents of Master's Wall and Liquid Amber, but more so for his devotion and obsession to bouldering and training, and pushing forward world climbing standards like his contempories, Ben Moon and Wolfgang Gullich.
Then there was Dawes who heralded a new paradigm on slate, grit, quartzite and mountain rhyolite: The Quarrryman, End of The Affair, Gaia, Conan The Librarian and of course Indian Face.
If you were active in the the Eighties and a little before there are four biographies being published in the next year that are going to be essential reading. Johnny Dawes is holed up in his garret in North Wales busy on his autobiography, Robert Seymour is working on a biography of Pete Livesey.
But first up is Jerry Moffatt. Sheffield based publisher Vertebrate Publishing have announced that, Moffatt's biography provisionally titled, 'The Ace: 20 years on top of the pack' will be available January 2009.
Vertebrate Publishing have sent us an short excerpt and a press release. And following the Moffatt book, being ghost written by Niall Grimes, Colin Wells is working on a biography of the other Master of Rock, Ron Fawcett.
UKCLIMBING.COM PREVIEW:Jerry Moffatt's Biography....and Ron Fawcett's which includes How Jeremy Moffatt became Jerry Moffat.
I'm looking forward to all four of these books, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

The 1st Camp Casualties Are Reported As The NFL Gets Started
We are 1 week away from the start of the NFL's meaningless but sometimes painful exhibition schedule. Before kick off has taken place the injuries have started.
From Chip Kelly's 1st camp in Philadelphia. The Eagles have lost wide receiver Jeremy Maclin to a knee injury. Maclin tore up his right knee in non contact, 7 on 7 drills.the official diagnosis is a torn ACL in his right knee. Apparently Maclin's knee got caught in the ground and that was that.
Maclin. from Missouri University has struggled with injury the last 2 seasons. He has combined for 10 TD's the last 2 years. The season before those 2 he caught 12 touchdowns and looked to be on the verge of stardom. The plan of having Maclin and DeSean Jackson on the field to help Kelly's wide open attack now get's sidetracked.
Maclin later in the day tweeted out a big thank you to his fans, thanking them for their support and vowing to comeback from this latest setback. Maclin is in the final year of a 5 year deal
Meantime the World Champion Baltimore Ravens already without over a handful of key players from their 2012 title team, announced that Tight End Dennis Pitta will miss the entire 2013 season with a dislocated hip. Pitta was injured in practice when he was competing for a football in the end zone with James Ihedigbo.
Pitta was tied for 2nd on the champion Ravens in catches last season. He and Ray Rice had 61 catches, trailing only Anquan Boldin, who now toils for the SF 49ers.
The Seattle Seahawks are facing a similar injury with their big time off season acquisition, Percy Harvin. No word yet exactly how long Harvin will be out of action.
The Miami Dolphins and the Dallas Cowboys will start the pre-season schedule next Sunday in the annual hall of fame game

(AP) Filner ends tumultuous tenure as San Diego mayor
By ELLIOT SPAGAT
Associated Press
Bob Filner ended his brief but tumultuous tenure as mayor Friday amid allegations that he sexually harassed women, making no public appearances on a final day that came one week after a defiant farewell speech in which the onetime civil rights activist called himself the victim of a "lynch mob."
Interim Mayor Todd Gloria said Filner's last act as mayor was to halt a controversial remodeling of a neighborhood Jack in the Box restaurant. Gloria immediately overturned the decision, saying it exposed the city to litigation.
The former 10-term congressman kept a low profile on last final day, ceding media attention to a mock celebration by accusers who gave him several parting gifts, including a mirror that attorney Gloria Allred said he can look at when asking who's to blame for his resignation.
Employees in the City Hall lobby said they didn't see the 70-year-old mayor on his last day. An office receptionist had no comment.
Before the scandal, Filner was true to his reputation as a workaholic. Followers adopted a Twitter hashtag _ (hash)filnereverywhere _ to chronicle his nonstop pace riding a bicycle to school with children, crashing the podium at the city attorney's news conference to denounce the speaker's positions, and marching to protest violence against women.
The city's first Democratic leader in 20 years turned into a virtual no-show after allegations surfaced last month that he sexually harassed women.
At a news conference, Allred displayed a farewell card that said she looked forward to seeing Filner at a deposition in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by former communications director Irene McCormack Jackson _ the first of nearly 20 women to identify herself as a target of the mayor's unwanted advances. She is the only one who has sued Filner.
Allred was flanked by two other Filner accusers.
Gloria, a Democrat, said he would interview Filner's staff and hoped to keep most in their jobs. On Thursday, he named McCormack, as she is known professionally, to be his communications director.
Gloria inspected his new office and made brief comments to reporters as he left City Hall. He didn't speak with Filner on Friday.
The California attorney general's office has launched a criminal investigation of Filner, and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department has been interviewing his accusers and will deliver its findings to the attorney general's office for possible prosecution.
Filner leaves office as questions linger about how someone who acknowledged mistreating women for many years _ but denied sexual harassing them _ could have survived for so long in politics.
Those who know Filner say he might have been more easily exposed as the leader of the nation's eighth-largest city than as a congressman farther from the spotlight. His behavior also might have deteriorated after being elected mayor.
