A 14-year-old has been charged in a brutal classroom beating that was recorded at Hartland High School and posted online.
According to reports the teenager was charged as a juvenile with aggravated assault in the March 12th attack. Earlier FOX 2 reported the fight happened in a classroom where a teacher was present, just before dismissal. Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte says the girls were arguing about a personal issue. The video of the fight shows a female grabbing the back of the victim's hair, throwing her to the ground and punching her before an adult steps in.

One of those involved was Katya Adamkiewicz who suffered a broken nose in the altercation. She told FOX 2's Andrea Isom, "I like turned my back, and she like grabbed me by my hair or whatever, threw me to the ground, and I like remember hitting my head and like blacking out," Adamkiewicz explained. "All of a sudden started feeling my nose bleeding."
According to reports, police did not seek charges against the male student who recorded the fight and then posted it online. See related: Fight in Hartland High School classroom posted on Facebook

RACINE, WI (WTAQ) - A gym teacher in Racine pleaded not guilty Wednesday to offering a good grade to a 15-year-old girl if she bared her chest.
61-year-old Thomas Adams of Caledonia waived a preliminary hearing, and a court commissioner ordered him to stand trial on a felony count of child enticement.
Pre-trial matters will be discussed at Adams' next court hearing on April 12th.
Prosecutors said Adams was the girl's gym teacher at Racine Horlick High School, when he repeatedly asked her to expose her chest earlier this month.
He is not accused of touching the youngster. Adams is free on a signature bond.

Louisa Picquet, b. 1828?- and Hiram Mattison, 1811-1868
Louisa Picquet, the Octoroon, or, Inside Views of Southern Domestic Life
New York: The Author, 1861.
Louisa Picquet was born in Columbia, South Carolina. As a baby, she and her mother were sold to a plantation owner in Georgia. They later moved with their master to Mobile, Alabama. When she was approximately thirteen years old, her mother was sold to Mr. Horton, who lived in Texas, and Louisa was sold to Mr. Williams in New Orleans. Louisa lived with him until his death and bore four of his seven children. After he died she was set free and moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, where she married. She also began working to first contact, and then free her mother, who was still enslaved in Texas. The rest of the narrative describes her successful efforts to raise funds for this purpose throughout the north, which eventually led to a reunion between mother and daughter. As she was only one-eighth African American, much of the narrative is concerned with Louisa's whiteness and that of her mother and the other light-skinned slaves who appear in her work. Also highlighted are the many instances of sexual exploitation that Louisa, her mother, and other female slaves experienced at the hands of white men.
Methodist minister and abolitionist Hiram Mattison met and interviewed Louisa Picquet in Buffalo, New York, in May 1860. He became passionate about her attempts to free her mother from slavery, but was unsuccessful in getting her cause on the agenda of a Methodist bishops' meeting. Instead, Mattison published his interview as a way of publicizing her fundraising efforts. He included his own "Conclusion and Moral," emphasizing the many instances of slave women bearing their masters' children, which he says work as "God's testimony to the deep moral pollution of the Slave States." Mattison concludes the work with somber details of slaves being burned alive as punishment.

Home Affordable Modification Program
|This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (May 2010)
The Home Affordable Modification Program, also known as H.A.M.P., is a federal program of the United States, set up to help eligible home owners with loan modifications on their home mortgage debt. It is being set up in the context of the ongoing subprime mortgage crisis in the debt markets, continuing from 2008.
The target of the program is 7 to 8 million struggling homeowners at risk of foreclosure by working with their lenders to lower monthly mortgage payments. The Program is part of the Making Home Affordable Program which was created by the Financial Stability Act of 2009.[1] The program was built as collaboration with lenders, investors, securities, mortgage servicers, the FHA, the VA, FHLMC, FNMA, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to create standard loan modification guidelines for lenders to take into consideration when evaluating a borrower for a potential loan modification.[2]

HAMP is authorized by sections 101 and 109 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which has been amended by section 7002 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (collectively "The Acts").[3] Congress has several enumerated purposes under the Acts. The main purpose is to provide the U.S. Treasury Department with the authority and mechanisms necessary to restore stability to the United States' financial system—which includes—(1) protecting home values, college funds, retirement accounts, and life savings, (2) preserving homeownership, (3) promoting jobs and economic growth, and (4) protecting the interests of taxpayers. [4]
As a result of the authority it received under the Acts, the U.S. Treasury Department developed HAMP.[5] Under HAMP, mortgage servicers (Mortgage servicer refers to financial institutions which are paid a fee to service a loan for an investor. example: Joes bank and trust 'services' loans for Fannie Mae and in return receives payment for the service being provided) are provided with guidelines to which they must adhere. Financial institutions follow the guideline set by the Federal Government (the U.S. Treasury), to modify homeowners' mortgage loans in a particular and uniform fashion and receive incentive payments in return.[6]
In an attempt to require mortgage servicers to modify mortgages in a particular and uniform fashion, the U.S. Treasury has taken several actions. First, the U.S. Treasury not only describes HAMP and its related programs on its own publicly accessed website (www.hmpadmin.com), but it also provides a step-by-step guide on how mortgage servicers are supposed to be performing the HAMP modifications.[7] For example, in the HAMP Handbook for Servicers of Non-GSE Mortgages, the U.S. Treasury requires these servicers to actively solicit borrowers to participate in HAMP before referring a loan to foreclosure or conducting a scheduled foreclosure sale.[8]
Second, the U.S. Treasury requires servicers to use a particular net present value calculation developed specifically for HAMP ("HAMP NPV").[9] The HAMP NPV was developed specifically for HAMP by a group of experts taken from the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac.[9] The HAMP NPV attempts to predict whether the lender/investor will make more money by modifying the mortgage or foreclosing.[9] Under HAMP, if the lender will make more money entering into a HAMP modification with the borrower (resulting in a positive HAMP NPV)—and assuming the mortgage loan is otherwise eligible under HAMP (which is discussed below)—the lender must offer a HAMP modification and cease all current efforts to foreclose.[10] However, if the lender will lose more money entering into a HAMP modification with the borrower (resulting in a negative HAMP NPV), the lender may proceed with foreclosure.[10]
Thus, under HAMP, lenders and/or mortgage servicers are required to make a conscious and calculated determination as to whether the pursuit of a foreclosure will be financially beneficial for the lender/investor before the foreclosure is actively pursued—which presumptively should result in fewer foreclosures—thereby providing more stability to the U.S. economy and achieving the purpose intended by the United States Congress.
Eligibility requirements of program[edit]
The program abides by the following eligibility and verification criteria:
- Loans originated on or before January 1, 2009
- First-lien loans on owner-occupied properties with unpaid principal balance up to $729,750
- Higher limits allowed for owner-occupied properties with 2-4 units
- The current principal, interest, property taxes and homeowner's insurance payments are costing the borrower(s) over 31% of their gross monthly household income.
- All borrowers must fully document income, including signed IRS 4506-T, proof of income (i.e. paystubs or tax returns), and must sign an affidavit of financial hardship
- Property owner occupancy status will be verified through borrower credit report and other documentation; no investor-owned, vacant, or condemned properties
- Incentives to lenders and servicers to modify at-risk borrowers who have not yet missed payments when the servicer determines that the borrower is at imminent risk of default
- Modifications can start from now until December 31, 2012; loans can be modified only once under the program[11]
Loan modification terms and procedures[edit]
- Participating servicers are required to service all eligible loans under the rules of the program unless explicitly prohibited by contract; servicers are required to use reasonable efforts to obtain waivers of limits on participation.
- Participating loan servicers will be required to use a net present value (NPV) test on each loan that is at risk of imminent default or at least 60 days delinquent. The NPV test will compare the net present value of cash flows with modification and without modification. If the test is positive: meaning that the net present value of expected cash flow is greater in the modification scenario: the servicer must modify absent fraud or a contract prohibition.
- Parameters of the NPV test are spelled out in the guidelines, including acceptable discount rates, property valuation methodologies, home price appreciation assumptions, foreclosure costs and timelines, and borrower cure and redefault rate assumptions.
- Servicers will follow a specified sequence of steps in order to reduce the monthly payment to no more than 31% of gross monthly income (DTI).
- The modification sequence requires first reducing the interest rate (subject to a rate floor of 2%), then if necessary extending the term or amortization of the loan up to a maximum of 40 years, and then if necessary forbearing principal. Principal forgiveness or a Hope for Homeowners refinancing are acceptable alternatives.
- The monthly payment includes principal, interest, taxes, insurance, flood insurance, homeowner's association and/or condominium fees. Monthly income includes wages, salary, overtime, fees, commissions, tips, social security, pensions, and all other income.
- Servicers must enter into the program agreements with Treasury's financial agent on or before December 31, 2009.[11]
Payments to servicers, lenders, and responsible borrowers[edit]
- The Program will share with the lender/investor the cost of reductions in monthly payments from 38% DTI to 31% DTI.
- Servicers that modify loans according to the guidelines will receive an up-front fee of $1,000 for each modification, plus "pay for success" fees on still-performing loans of $1,000 per year for up to three years.
- Homeowners who make their payments on time are eligible for up to $1,000 of principal reduction payments each year for up to five years.
- The program will provide one-time bonus incentive payments of $1,500 to lender/investors and $500 to servicers for modifications made while a borrower is still current on mortgage payments.
- The program will include incentives for extinguishing second liens on loans modified under this program.
- No payments will be made under the program to the lender/investor, servicer, or borrower unless and until the servicer has first entered into the program agreements with Treasury's financial agent.
- Similar incentives will be paid for Hope for Homeowner refinances.[12]
Transparency and accountability[edit]
- Measures to prevent and detect fraud, such as documentation and audit requirements, will be central to the program.
- Servicers will be required to collect, maintain and transmit records for verification and compliance review, including borrower eligibility, underwriting, incentive payments, property verification, and other documentation.
- Freddie Mac is appointed the compliance officer of the program.[12]
Proliferation of scams from companies claiming to offer loan modifications[edit]
Throughout 2009 and 2010, foreclosure rescue and mortgage modification scams have been a growing concern. Charging fees before a loan modification is attempted is illegal and considered predatory. Predators are more likely to do business in states with higher numbers of foreclosure or properties at risk for foreclosure such as Illinois and Rhode Island, and in cities such as Phoenix.[13] The Chicago Mortgage Fraud Task Force found eleven companies guilty of committing this type of fraud in the Brighton Park neighborhood of Chicago.[14] Rhode Island launched a Loan Modification Scam Alert to raise awareness and provide a way for victims to report fraud.[15] At a national level, Neighborworks, a government funded non-profit that works to make housing affordable, launched its own Loan Modification Scam Alert.[16]
The website www.loanscamalert.org launched by Neighborworks lists signs of possible fraud:
- A company asks for a fee in advance
- Guarantees they can stop a foreclosure
- Advises you to stop paying your mortgage company and pay them instead
- Pressures you to sign paperwork
- Claims to offer a government approved loan
- Someone you don't know asks for personal financial information
Lender participants[edit]
A complete and updated list of lenders currently signed on is available at the Making Home Affordable website List of HAMP Lenders.
Controversy over effectiveness[edit]
A May 2012 Fox Business report has alleged that programs like HAMP modifications are helping only a few homeowners and have not been effective at dealing with the mortgage crisis. [17] The National Taxpayer Union has also argued that HAMP has been grossly ineffective:[18]
HAMP has proven a colossal failure that has done more to harm than help debt-laden homeowners. Having only achieved slightly more than 500,000 permanent modifications, 40% of which the Treasury expects to default, HAMP has fallen dramatically short of its goal of helping 3 to 4 million homeowners avoid foreclosure. To date, far more borrowers have dropped out of the program (or were denied eligibility by servicers when, in fact, the homeowner qualified) than successfully achieved permanent loan modification. These borrowers, along with those who later default, will often be left with larger outstanding debt, worse credit scores, and less home equity. Congress should pass legislation that eliminates the HAMP program, to put an end to these counterproductive outcomes while saving taxpayers billions of dollars.[18]
However, the United States Government Accountability Office ("GAO") conducted its own investigation and reported its findings in its report titled: Mortgage Foreclosures: Documentation Problems Reveal Need for Ongoing Regulatory Oversight. According to the GAO, not only have banking regulators issued enforcement orders to various mortgage servicers for various mortgage servicing deficiencies, but the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the U.S. Treasury have all issued letters to their respective servicers reminding them of their obligations to properly perform and document all of their required mortgage servicing activities.[19] Moreover, according to the GAO:
Further, the regulators' reviews also revealed that most servicers did not maintain sufficient staffing levels to process the increasing volume of foreclosures, nor were staff adequately trained to perform this work in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. For example, regulators found that one servicer that had previously understaffed this function and had not provided adequate training increased its document-signing staff from 5 to 80 and revised its training to include guidance for judicial foreclosures to address deficiencies in foreclosure processing.[19]
Thus, while there are those who argue that HAMP is ineffective, it appears as if Federal governmental agencies are, at the very least, indirectly suggesting that the mortgage servicers may be to blame. As a result, it appears as if at least one government-sponsored enterprise has taken action that comports with the recommendations of the GAO. For example, Fannie Mae has mandated that all of its servicers in Florida, as mandated by the Florida Supreme Court, must not only take potential foreclosures to mediation before attempting to foreclose—but these same mortgage servicers must (1) submit written pre-foreclosure offers to the homeowners before leaving the mediation and (2) maintain documentation that it submitted such written pre-foreclosure offers to the homeowners at the mediation.[20] Further, recent research by Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago economists suggests that regions where HAMP was used intensively saw a lower rate of house price decline as well as an increase in the pay-down rate on consumer debt.

Remote Access
Remote access software is required to access the Mentor file server from off campus. It may also be needed to access other specialized, restricted network services or software. This service is available for faculty and staff members. If remote access is needed by a student, the student's supervisor should contact the Helpdesk to request access for the student.
Remote access software is not needed for routine access to resources such as myHome, e-mail, Web sites and online calendars.
Remote access software can be used with personal or college computers. Anti-virus software is required. Due to varying hardware, software, Web browser, and operating system configurations, particularly of personally-owned computers, ITS cannot guarantee that every computer will be able to successfully connect remotely.
Juniper Network Connect is used for remote access on Windows computers. See the guide at right for instructions. (Macs can also use Network Connect, but Junos Pulse, below, is recommended).
Junos Pulse is the recommended software for remote access on Mac computers. See the guide at right for instructions.

Hi Everyone,
I'm not sure that I like the term 'leader!'
Anyway, since Rick's finding himself more than a little busy of late, I've agreed, for my sins, to take over his róle as leader of the group.
I'm not best known on here for my black and white stuff although it's something that's interested me for some time and I've made more than the occasional foray into channel mixers and suchlike in search of the best/easiest/quickest method of converting colour to monotone/duotone etc.
I'm interested in learning more about techniques and I'll no doubt be picking your brains regarding how all of you go about achieving a worthwhile result.
Likewise, if anyone has a question of me, feel free to ask.
As you may know, I'm a regular in the critique gallery and very active in the forums. I'm also in the throes of compiling a 'Photo 366' blog and a set of albums.
If anyone's not sure what that is, it entails taking a photograph every day for a year and since this is a leap year and I began before the end of February, I've gained a day!
I'm hoping that the group will continue to do well and if anyone has any bright ideas about how it could be improved or if there are any changes you'd like to see made; please just speak up.
As yet, I don't know all of you although I'm sure that will change over time.
I've also agreed to take over the 'Black and White challenge' group which appears to be struggling slightly at the moment so perhaps some of you would give it some support?
There's no reason not to upload the same image in both groups provided it's been taken within the challenge's time frame.
It will be a shame to see it go the way of so many other groups and slip away because of lack of support, so please put your thinking caps on and help out.
Good luck everyone!
Hi Bren et al,
Possibly one reason groups founder is because one wonders if anyone ever looks at the image that is downloaded. Even a couple of words or even a just a smiley would be heartening and encouraging. Constructive comments and criticism would be even more welcome to fellow group members.
Any B & W photos that may raise a smile or two, either by virtue of their content or by their caption would be welcome at 'The Corn Exchange' group started recently by Jadus.
Looks good doesn't it?
I've uploaded a few shots, although I wasn't able to upload two of them directly from my pf., which is a shame because one of them had garnered quite a few comments but never mind. They're in there now.
You'll need to promote the group somehow. As you know, people will only take part, if they know it exists and if it hadn't been for you and indirectly, the B/W groups, I'd be none the wiser.
I'm not entirely sure myself Jack.
While I'm pretty much aware of how most things work (or otherwise) on here, the groups feature has always been something of mystery to me.
With regard to the B/W groups, which I've agreed to look after, I'm just going to keep pushing them in the forums and anywhere else that I find myself posting.
It might be an idea to mention your/our groups when welcoming newcomers to the site as well. If we can make people aware of the groups as they step in the door, there's more chance that they might become interested.
There's no reason either, why we shouldn't promote each others' groups. It's not as if we're in competition.
Ade Mcfade's something of an expert when it comes to making groups work and Pete's alway's a good source of advice on the subject too.
Perhaps we need to ask?
Hi Eric and thank you.
Would I be right in thinking that you no longer want to be a part of the B/W challenge? I seem to recall that you said something along those lines quite recently.
If that is the case and I don't know your reasons for leaving; they're none of my business but you're very welcome to rethink and rejoin us.
I've taken over at the helm in there too.
Please consider it.
Thanks Bren, I am no Photographer only a Snap-Shotter, I like Mono and joind the groups hoping to improve my efforts of changing my
coloured snaps to B&W. The group (this) gave me no help, very few comments on my submissions. A few said use programmes I do not have,
and of which I would have very little Idea how to use if I had.
The Challenge group was so badly supported I won a few times with my snaps, but this did not advance me, only made me see a little work
that I would have liked to have done. However the Programmes and Camera used where not within my reach.
The New Mono Group was more helpful with advice, but again very few commented on and I know I will not reach the level of attainment they
seek. Thanks Again. Sincerely yours Eric. ( Gypsyman).
OK Eric,
Thanks for your honesty. The door's always open though. Keep popping back, even if you only upload now and again or if you have an image of which you're particularly proud, you'll always be very welcome.
Hi Leader!
I think what really lacks is the critique on photos that are posted! I dont know why but, speaking for myself, I know what I like in a photo but am conscious that my own are not stellar quality (in the artistic sense) so it may be felt inappropriate to comment on someone else's picture. But I think we should encourage that. Also suggesting other means of converting to mono is really instructive and I found the exercise on the shot of the bikers in the desert very interesting.
Regarding using forums for critique our members should go and have a look at Fredmiranda.com and look at the critique there. Some of it can be pretty brutal and occaisionally there are on-line spats but overall I think they are very interesting to read.The Peopel Photography forum is particularly strong! I am a bit of a lurker but really enjoy looking at the photos that are posted and reading others comments, its a great learning source.
The other thing about EPZ that really frustrates me is how you cannot get pictures uploaded into multiple galleries easily. I should correct that statement and say I cant upload into multiple galleries easily! For example I can see times when I would like to post the same image to the weekly challenge, the black and white group and the main portfolio and right now its really convoluted.
I like EPZ and would really welcome comments on anything I post and look forward to a more open attitude in teh group and the forum!
I wish you luck and anything I can help with, let me know
ps, for Gypsyman - I am no software expert but am always happy to share ideas on conversion techniques! I use CS and Lightroom but also use really simple techniques like palying with desaturation and also plug-ins like BW Styler which I really really like because of teh old effects it gives! PM me if you want to make contact and share ideas!
Hi Chris,
For one reason or another, I've been absent a bit too often just recently. I even missed out on the weekly black and white challenge, of which I've also become leader.
I'll have a think on everything that you've just said and see what can be done to improve things. Personally, I thrive on critique, both giving and receiving. The critique gallery is my first port of call on here. Critique can and in my mind should, become quite brutal at times and I'd love to be able to be a lot more cutting in my comments but unfortunately, it's not to be.
As for the uploading thing, I know how you feel.
I upload a shot every day to my blog; I'm doing a photo 366 project and upload the same one to my albums. If I also upload that shot to the gallery, as I sometimes do, it can take what seems like a lifetime.
Just a thought, having read your post to Eric. One of us could always begin a new thread offering or asking for favourite methods of converting to mono. Perhaps people would like to turn some of them into tutorials?
I shall get back to you!

JANUARY 4: It's said that a bad day fishin' is better than a good day at work, but a bad day of froggin' at the Pond ended prematurely after one freewheeling, disappointing San Fernando test run in 16.38 seconds (shown) and "a trip to the hospital to patch up a deep cut that was inflicted by a razor-sharp fender edge." Worse, HRM's dual Erics, Rickman and Dahlquist, were up against a hard deadline imposed by the 4-4-2 road test promised on the next cover—which was probably running on presses, already, because each issue's four covers were printed weeks ahead of inside pages. The staging lanes were cropped out of this shot, depriving us drag fans of what looks like Larry Dixon's green gasser, the baddest '55 in the Valley. (See Mar. '65 HRM, pg. 38: "Olds 4-4-2.")

Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers
Things I liked: Liked the pistol, the color, the weight felt good. Shot fairly well. CO2 got about 6 to 7 magazines.
Things I would have changed: A movable slide would of been nice. The safety button is a little cheesy , could of had a metal slide like function. The metal magazine needs to have a magnet that the tip of the top. This would prevent the BB's from flying out then you release the magazine spring.Also, the magazine spring might be a little strong, causing the BB's flying out also. PA should pass this along. Actually , I liked this pistol better than the P-38 , which cost just about half the price. If Crossman's corrected some of these minor problems, it would be a nice WW11 replica pistol.
What others should know: If you purchase this C-41, just beware of the Flying BB Magazine. They really need to correct this problem.
Things I liked:Look & Feel, Accuracy
Things I would have changed:Cosmetic slide is pointless
What others should know:Get the Walther P38
Things I liked:Love the heft and the large grip area.
Things I would have changed:A concealed way to keep the grip from moving while using. Although there has been no problem so far. The addition of white dot sights would be great.
What others should know:Heavy with good velocity.

We're checking back in a month later – how are your New Year's resolutions coming along?
People make resolutions to change their eating habits for a variety of reasons. It may be to improve a health condition, like diabetes or heart disease, lose weight, or generally feel better. One of the reasons so many of us struggle with our food choices year after year is because we haven't tailored a diet to our specific needs and lifestyles. Without some self-evaluation and study of what our options are and what plans are best, we may continue to struggle.
Recommended Diet Plans U.S. News & World Report recently published "Best Diets of 2014 (http://health.usnews.com/best-diet)."They asked a panel of national health experts to rank more than 32 diets on a variety of factors, including ease to follow, ability to produce short-term and long-term weight loss and safety. Diets are ranked with stars from 5 (highest) to 1 (lowest). Categories include: best diet overall, best commercial diet, best for weight loss, best for diabetes, best heart healthy, easiest to follow and best plant based. How Dieting Leads to Results Diet is one piece to the puzzle for weight loss. The National Weight Control Registry (http://www.nwcr.ws/) has looked at characteristics of more than 10,000 people who have lost significant amounts of weight and kept it off for long periods of time. Some of the characteristics of those who are successful include:

Repeated exposure to CASRN 64741-79-3 dust during a 2-year inhalation toxicity study produced irreversible respiratory effects (chronic pulmonary inflammation and significantly increased absolute/relative lung weights) in rats and primates (both sexes) at all concentrations tested. Histological examination revealed macrophage accumulation (with test article deposits), focal fibrosis, bronchiolization, sclerosis and squamous alveolar metaplasia in rats at concentrations > 0.01 mg/L; the NOAEC for systemic toxicity is not established. A combined reproductive/developmental toxicity screening test with CASRN 64741-79-3 dust showed no reproductive or developmental effects following inhalation exposure in rats; however, pulmonary inflammation (macrophage accumulation, lymphocyte hyperplasia and squamous metaplasia of respiratory epithelium) was observed in all exposed parental animals.

Oh yes, libertarians surely oppose the idea of children working 12 hour shifts in factories, yet they want to make the possibility of it legal because they are concerned about children's "right to work". Kind of like how someone who smokes near a gas pump opposes the idea of it blowing up and killing people, yet here he is, still smoking right near a gas pump, because he cares about his "right to smoke".

There, did I get your attention now?
It amazes me that people do not purchase insurance on their engagement rings right after they buy them.
Insurance for your loose diamond, or diamond engagement ring, should be part of your budget for the ring in the first place; that is how important it is.
You wouldn't think twice about driving your car without insurance, right?
Well, some of you will say, driving a car without insurance can get you into hot water, whereas wearing a diamond ring without insurance won't…right?
Wrong, bonehead!!
I'm not talking about getting pulled over by a cop…I'm talking about protecting your investment!!
In many cases, your car doesn't even cost as much as as your diamond engagement ring and is not nearly as easy to lose, or have stolen from you!
Your engagement ring is not only sentimental, it is also quite valuable.
Engagement rings get lost and stolen every single day.
An engagement ring can get lost or stolen just as easily when you are wearing it, as when you are not.
Unfortunately, people get mugged all of the time. People also lose their rings. Consider, you are at a fancy restaurant and you go to the sink to wash your hands. Many times you will take off the ring while you are washing up. If you would only know how many phone calls we have received over the years from devastated gals who had inadvertently left their rings behind on the sink counter after washing in a public place, only to return and find the ring lost/stolen.
A car might get lost/stolen when it is left parked in a garage or on the street. However, it is hardly a likely scenario when you are actually driving it.
Not so with an engagement ring, where it is possible for your diamond to pop out of the prongs (given the right knock on a hard surface..etc.) and be lost forever, even as you are wearing it.
An engagement ring is one of the most expensive, sentimental, valuable and memorable items you will ever own.
If you lose it, misplace it, or have it stolen, you and your spouse would be devastated.
In fact, I have (unfortunately) actually seen marriages suffer as a result of such an episode…and especially when there was no insurance coverage on the engagement ring.
This is one of the first things I instruct our clients to do after they purchase a diamond engagement ring from our company.
It is really not that difficult today to secure insurance on a diamond engagement ring.
Many people choose to add the coverage of the ring to their existing home owners insurance policy, as a rider or "addendum" to the plan. Others, choose to purchase a separate and entirely exclusive insurance plan for their jewelry and engagement rings.
Either way, insurance rates today on diamonds and jewelry are very competitive and there are many really good insurance companies offering comprehensive insurance policies to protect your diamond ring investment.
Speak to your insurance broker or agent to find out which policy is right for you. The insurance policy will take into account the purchase or appraised value of your diamond engagement ring and ensure that you have adequate coverage in the event of loss or theft.
To all of you who have already purchased your diamond engagement rings and have procrastinated on getting the ring insured; I implore you to do this immediately.
Believe me, I know the feeling of euphoria when you first put that beautiful diamond engagement ring on your finger. You are elated and all you wish to do is stare at that beauty all day long…….
The "mundane" task of securing insurance for the engagement ring, suddenly becomes the last thing on your mind and you push it to the recesses of your consciousness as just another item on your "to do list".
This is a HUGE MISTAKE.
G-d forbid your ring gets lost or stolen…(and it only has o happen once), you would be completely devastated.
Please take my advice and make this (insurance coverage) your second highest priority after securing your diamond engagement ring.
……..Your first priority is to fall in love with the ring and express appreciation to each other for this token of your love..;-)

Q: I'm becoming increasingly concerned about the wave of ultra-conservatives (if I wanted to be rude, I'd call them reactionaries) who seem to be sweeping U.S. politics today.
There's apparently more and more sentiment for curtailing the role of federal government in our society and in our lives. One candidate for office in a by-election in my state recently sent out a mailing saying that in his opinion the Constitution limits the federal government's role to providing for the national defense and regulating commerce between the states, and that's all, nothing more. Everything else, he said, should be left to the states (at least he didn't win), and others seem to be taking the same view.
What impact will all of this have on transportation? In particular, what about infrastructure: roads, ports, airports and so on? Building and maintaining them isn't "regulating" interstate commerce, so what happens there? Can you imagine this country without an interstate highway system, for example? And how about foreign trade, if each state had its own standards and each one had to treat other countries independently?
Don't you agree that we're one country and we need to have national, not local, control of what's going on?
A: An immutable policy of this column is that I don't delve into religion or politics. It's the same rule you'll find at any polite dinner party, and for the same reason.
I mean, suppose I decided to use this as a forum to air my personal views on either subject. I'd be right, of course, and anyone who disagreed would be a certifiable idiot — isn't that the unyielding standard of any discourse on these two topics? But people being people, they would naturally disagree on this or that, and my credibility would be shot. So I stay away.
You therefore won't find me eager to express accord with the opinions you've offered or disparage them. You're entitled to your views, and I'm entitled to mine; and I'm also entitled to keep the latter to myself.
That said, what I can add is that politics moves in waves, not only in the U.S. but everywhere. People change their minds — as individuals, and as a group. We've seen an extraordinary amount of that during my lifetime, and I'm sure we'll see much more.
When I first came into the transportation industry in the 1960s, for example, that federal power to regulate interstate commerce was implemented to the nth degree. The Interstate Commerce Commission rigorously controlled carrier rates and restricted market entry in domestic surface transportation, as did the Civil Aeronautics Board for air service and the Federal Maritime Commission for ocean carriage.
Today, of course, the CAB is no more; the ICC has been sun-setted; and its successor, the Surface Transportation Board, has little authority and rarely acts on even what it has. Even the FMC's role has been reduced to a very secondary one. That is, of course, full circle to where the industry was when its modern version was born.
Can you doubt that in time it'll revolve again, that the ills of strict regulation will fade in the public mind over time, and those of an unrestricted market will become more paramount in popular thinking? One thing our legislators love to do is perpetually tinker with our economy and our lives; it shows how vigilant these ordinarily annoying folks are to those who elect them. That's one aspect of politics that's unchanging.
Oh, and don't forget the news media, by whose diligent efforts we receive our information on what's hot and what's not. What they choose to report and not report is what gives us the "trends" that supposedly prevail in different times.
Legendary journalist Lincoln Steffens wrote how he once singlehandedly created a "crime wave" in New York City by simply reporting the entire police blotter for a few days rather than (as he usually did) writing up only unusual depredations. So you might ask, are you seeing a true "wave" of political activity or simply a transitory media focus on that side of politics?
And wave or no wave, roads are still getting built and fixed, ports are getting dredged and maintained, the airports and airways are running fine, and trade continues to move. I seriously doubt that'll change regardless of how the uncertain political winds blow. So relax and leave the doomsday forecasts to the soothsayers.

Well, the ball done dropped on another new year, and it's high time I git to predictin' the best of motorsports in 2012. Here's my list of stuff I'd love to see this year in the world of racin'…
– Danica Patrick, and lot's of her, preferably in Victory Lane – Seems like a pretty obvious thing to want since I'm constantly includin' half-nekkid pictures of her on here, but I also reckon it would be a good thing for the Good Ol' Boys of NASCAR to finish behind a lady for once.
- The lovely ladies of the NHRA – With the likes of Erica Enders, Melanie Troxel, Hillary Will, the Harker Sisters, and the Hottie Trifecta of the Force Sisters, 2012 better bring a whole lotta sexy to the NHRA podiums.
- Pippa, Simona, and Friends – Can't put this list to bed without tossin' in a little love for the ladies in the open wheels. If yer not a fan of the IZOD Indycar Series and F1 yet, yer not just missing out on some rip rourin' racin'. Yer also missin' out on some great scenery in the former Land o' Danica.
I bet yer brain is still swimmin' in moonshine from yer New Year's shindig, but ya might be noticin' a theme here. I like good racin' and all, and I'm sure we'll see plenty of it this year, but ya can't complain when the one takin' the checkers also happens to be a hottie. So raise yer beer to a 2012 celebratin' a Battle of the Sexes with the women coming out on top, and then click HERE, HERE, and if yer old school, maybe HERE. The proof is in the pics.

Perfect Summer Shoe
"I often find that summer flip flops can be a bit uncomfortable depending on the material that the straps are made out of. Because this shoe has a very soft, metallic ribbon-like material to it, it's extremely comfortable to wear, gives the perfect amount of wedge without being too flat or too over-the-top to be able to wear with shorts, and it dresses up or dresses down. I'd definitely buy in more colors/patterns if they had them."

A Non-Toxic Way To Clean Stainless Steel Pans
We all know that a little bit of baking soda and vinegar can go a long way when it comes to household cleaning. There are plenty of DIYs out there using these two as the main ingredients. Karen Lee of ecokaren uses a vinegar and baking soda recipe to clean her stainless steel pots and pans. What makes her process different is that she has replaced your normal scouring pad with a piece of aluminum foil.
There is no longer a need for Brillo or copper pads. Just add a piece of foil to the mix, then gently scrub, rinse, and dry.

I'll never understand why people use toxic cleaners on their eating utensils.
I've been thinking about trying to find a homemade, natural version of regular dish soap. That is, without having to hunt down obscure ingredients like glycerin. Any ideas?
Does the thought of aluminum foil scraping across metal set anyone else's teeth on edge? That provokes a reaction much like nails on a chalkboard.
I did a quick search on the site and found this nice post that includes a few alternatives. I am a fan of the Castile soap with essential oils... http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/how-to/how-to-make-homemade-dish-soap-and-dishwasher-detergent-103226
Thanks for mentioning my method of cleaning stainless steel pan Rikkianne!
@Penguin Dreams - Actually, if you use this cleaning formula, you don't even have to scrape the pan with the aluminum foil. The stain literally dissolves away - depending on how burnt and stuck on the stain is, of course...Aluminum reacts with baking bubbling soda and vinegar and lifts the stain off the pan. And it also makes the foil soft and pliable so if you have to scrub, it's no like scratching your nail against the chalkboard (goosebumps!)
Thanks ecokaren. I feel better now. :)
I put hot water in my ss pans and let it sit on the warm burner after I'm done cooking and I've never had a problem with food sticking. But this is good to keep in mind if I ever get something more stubborn or just want to shine up the finish.
Bon Ami powder is non toxic and eco friendly...and cheap. Or Dr.Bronners.
Aluminum foil is what my mom has been using for years - it works much better at scrubbing than any brillo pad I've ever used.
uh, but is aluminum foil bad for the environment too? the production of aluminuim uses huge ammounts of energy and forrests are cleared to get to the mineral deposits. And if not rinsed properly: aluminium is toxic too! (there goes the water)
@Abbytail: I totally agree but so does mining for steel for SS pots and pans. But unless I go and buy a new set of cast iron cookware (because non-stick pots and pans are not so safe and I only have two iron skillets at the moment), then, I'm stuck (no pun intended) with my SS pots and pans. And compared to commercial cleaning agents, I think a little bit of aluminum foil & Baking Soda and Vinegar duo is much better for us and the environment. Of couse, if you get down to it, sourcing baking soda is not so environmentally great either.
So I'm going to choose what's best of the environment, without wasting more resources by buying new pots and pans and toxic cleaning agents. Of course, I wouldn't have to worry about any of this if I don't burn my pans! :)
@JP456 - Bon Ami and Dr. Bonner are great too! But if you run out of them and you are in a pickle, this little emergency method will also do the trick. :)
I soak my pans in some water for a half hour or so and then use a steel scrubber pad. It hasn't ever scratched the pans. I don't even have to scrub hard because by that point, the stains are softened by the water. It's really easy.

Kevin Hannaford of Basking Ridge, New Jersey was killed on 9/11.
A year after the terrorist attacks, Kevin's wife Eileen Hannaford gave Kevin's bike to her brother, Patrick McGinley, a bike perfect for racing.
McGinley decided he'd remember Kevin by riding the bike in several races including the Aquaphor NYC Triathlon 2013.
"I saw the bike hanging there and she asked me if want it. I looked around for different triathlons to do," said McGinley.
Three triathlons later, McGinley looks forward to passing along the bike to Kevin's young sons.
"When they see their uncle doing things with their father's bike, that shows them a positive way to use one's energy," said McGinley.
The 13th annual Aquaphor New York City Triathlon is set for Sunday, July 14.
FOX 5 will air a highlight show on Sunday, July 28 at 2:30 p.m.

Lane Kiffin said he is through apologizing to Florida.
Kiffin issued a public apology for wrongly accusing the reigning BCS football champions and coach Urban Meyer of cheating while recruiting. Kiffin said that he felt like that was enough, and he didn't plan to contact Meyer personally to say he was sorry.
"I already apologized to [Meyer] and anybody at the University of Florida that I may have offended, and I figured that was enough," Kiffin told the AJC in an interview on Tuesday.
It has become one of college football biggest controversies. It started at a recruiting breakfast with Tennessee supporters on Feb. 5, the day after National Signing Day. Wide receiver prospect Nu'Keese Richardson switched at the last minute from Florida to Tennessee.
"I love the fact Urban had to cheat and still didn't get [Richardson]," Kiffin
