Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Onyx is a variety of chalcedony quartz that features a fine texture with a smooth black color. Some onyx can display white bands or ribbons against black or brown backgrounds. Mined in Brazil, India, California and Uruguay, most onyx today is color-enhanced to increase its depth of color. It ranks a 6.5 on the Mohs Scale and is an ideal stone for carving. In fact, it is a favorite material of lapidary artists.
Onyx was very popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans. The name comes from the Greek word "onux," which means fingernail. Legend says that one day frisky Cupid cut the divine fingernails of Venus with an arrowhead while she was sleeping. He left the clippings scattered on the sand and the fates turned them into stone so that no part of her heavenly body would ever perish. In Greek times, almost all colors of chalcedony were called onyx. Later, the Romans narrowed the term to refer to only the black and dark brown colors, while the reddish brown and white onyx became known as sardonyx. Highly valued in Rome, sardonyx was especially used for seals because it was said to never stick to the wax. Roman General Publius Cornelius Scipio was famous for wearing sardonyx.
Worn during mourning in the Victorian age, onyx is now traditionally given as a 7th wedding anniversary gift. It is thought to increase happiness, intuition and instincts. The stone is also believed to cool the yearnings of love and decrease sexual desire.
Named by the Romans, who thought the gems were formed from moonlight, moonstones have a floating light effect called "adularescence." They often have translucent grounds with silvery white or blue flashes. Moonstone almost seems magical with a ghostly, shimmering glow floating in a crystalline material. With a clarity range of transparent to translucent, the gem's body color can range from colorless to gray, brown, yellow, orange, green or pink. The best moonstone has a blue sheen, perfect clarity and a colorless body color. One variety called "rainbow moonstone" has a sheen that features a variety of rainbow hues.
Moonstones are usually cut in smooth, domed cabochon shapes to maximize the effects of sheen and adularescence. Fine moonstone is already quite rare and becoming rarer. It is mined in Sri Lanka, India, Australia, Brazil, Canada and Kenya. Rainbow moonstone is also found in Madagascar.
Ancient Romans thought moonstones changed appearances with the phases of the moon. They also believed that an image of Diana, the goddess of the moon, could be seen in each stone. During the Middle Ages, people believed one could gaze into the gem, fall into a deep sleep, and see the future. Today the stone represents serenity, happiness and friendship. It is believed to be a stone of inner strength and is said to arouse passions. In Europe, moonstone is considered the birthstone for June, although in the United States, it shares that distinction with the pearl. It is traditionally given as a 13th wedding anniversary gift.
Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.

A great tool.
The busiest tool in my workshop, used for everything I need to hammer.
I have been pleased with the 3rd deadblow hammer I ordered. The first one I ordered/returned the "T" was dramatically off square. They did send me a new one after messing up the return order. The second one's brass face came loose after some relatively light tapping on my vise anvil to wear in the corners a bit more. I love how the hammer seats frets! But I'm afraid to even moderately whack anything that's not a fret. I do understand it's a "fret" hammer, but jeez why so delicate. There are 12oz models for auto dent work, I bet the face doesn't come loose on those. But I do like the hammer even after all that.
Love it.
Indispensable in any bench. Recomended.
It works as advetised however it's not made of magic... it's still a hammer so there is a small amount of blowback but significantly better than the traditional fret hammer. I was surprised that the non brass side had no plastic tip but when I used the the non brass side on this hammer it worked just fine and left no fret dents in the plastic. A great buy!
Works as expected
Good size and feel. Works as expected.
The older Stew-Mac hammer was a nice tool. This one is far superior! I tend to favor hammering frets, over other methods, and this new hammer works very well. I just did a couple of new banjo necks and am very pleased with the results and ease of use. Wear your ear plugs - always a good idea.
Easy to use and wore ear plugs to ease the sound of my hammering across the frets to seat everything. Didn't damage fret wire or mark it, I like!

Last Monday night, blacks around the United States flocked to church. They waited on their knees. Their eyes were watching God — and the clock. Awaiting the stroke of midnight.
Just as stolen Africans and abolitionists had gathered New Year's Eve 1862, waiting to hear freedom ring. Freedom promised by the Emancipation Proclamation. President Abraham Lincoln's war gambit to cripple the Confederacy by declaring slaves in rebel states "forever free" took effect at the witching hour — New Year's Day 1863.
Ever since, blacks have commemorated that seismic moment with a New Year's Eve (Freedom's Eve) pilgrimage to the Lord's house, a late-night vigil that came to be known as "Watch Night."
Yet, in 2013, Watch Night carried keen resonance. This year marks the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's oft-misconstrued document.
Think the Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves? Not exactly. Lincoln's martial order — his "act of justice" — conferred freedom only to slaves living in the mutinous states. And it invited the newly freed Americans to don Union-soldier blue.
"Never before had so large a number of slaves been declared free," Eric Foner writes in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "The Fiery Trial: Lincoln and American Slavery."
"By making the army an agent of emancipation and wedding the goals of Union and abolition, it ensured that Northern victory would produce a social transformation in the South and a redefinition of the place of blacks in American life."
Around the nation, however, hundreds of thousands of slaves remained shackled in border slave states.
A sharp irony, with surprising modernity.
Since Lincoln's time, many blacks have seized that hard-won liberty with gusto. For many, emancipation's legacy underwrote the freedom to strive. For example, this year, the Black-White Equality Index in the National Urban League's State of Black America 2012 report again showed blacks narrowing the education gap.
At the same time, large swaths of the black community remain mired in a modern slavery, shackled by the rusting leg irons of incarceration, black-on-black genocide and fatherlessness.
We can almost recite the numbers by rote. Half of the United States' 2.3 million prisoners are black.
"Among low-skill black men, spending time in prison has become a normative life event," sociologist Becky Pettit writes in her troubling book, "Invisible Men: Mass Incarceration and the Myth of Black Progress."
Lord have mercy.
Meanwhile, too many blacks who haven't been locked up, are getting knocked off — by someone who looks like them. Annually, about 7,000 blacks are murdered. Only 6 percent of the time is the killer someone of another race. Places such as Chicago and Philadelphia are such shooting galleries for black youth that, anymore, we barely blink at the carnage.
And, the outbreak of out-of-wedlock births is epidemic. Too many young black men exercise their freedom to sow their seed upon every fertile plain they survey. A new reality show in the works on the Oxygen TV network, "All My Babies' Mamas," will toast Shawty Lo, a rapper who requires the fingers of both his hands to count the number of women with whom he has fathered children.
Honest, Abe must be whirling in his grave.
In this anniversary year of Lincoln's proclamation, black America ought to revisit this freedom thing. Oh, I'm not wistful for cotton burs and bullwhips. However, until blacks can proclaim freedom from this self-destruction, we'll never be truly free.
And more blacks (hello, Bill Cosby) must be free to speak up about what needs fixing. Blacks must remember that we're free to foster change. Only then will we shed the chains that still bind us.

The reader who has witnessed in the text of Matthew miracles such as the cursing of the fig tree understands that Jesus' authority is from God (vv. 21-22); the reader who has seen the fate of John the Baptist, an earlier representative of God, also recognizes what Jesus will face (compare 21:32, 38-39). The political leaders here are not, however, privy to the information Matthew's audience shares. Like many contemporary politicians-and the rest of us-Jesus' adversaries were more interested in making their opponent, in this case Jesus, look bad than in uncovering further truth about his claims. Undoubtedly they view Jesus as a "populist" (see Rhoads and Michie 1982:82), the sort of demagogue aristocrats normally despised (as in Isoc. Nic. 48 and Or. 2).

About Me Value Oriented
We used these to highlight golfers and golf carts for a night golf event. They are greatly preferred over the glow in the dark necklaces for the same purpose -- much brighter and easier to see and give better perspective regarding distance.

IAM Vendors: Your Slip Is Showing
Back door access – similar to side door access – is far from a new problem in identity management. Yet I'm astounded by how many companies have virtually no idea what it is, or that they're vulnerable to it, until it's too late. We hear this all the time from customers who find out after Read More
Amazon Chief Evangelist Jeff Barr Interviews Darren Platt
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Chief Evangelist Jeff Barr recently sat down with Symplified CTO and co-founder Darren Platt to discuss identity and SSO. The discussion appears in a video on The AWS Report, where Jeff and his co-hosts speak with experts from Amazon and partners like Symplified on new technologies and emerging industry trends.

Hmmm…Service Provider Federation Challenges
In my last blog post I mentioned how Service Providers face a different set of challenges than Identity Providers as they roll out federated identity technology for customers.

Federated SSO is for Service Providers, Too
When it comes to federation and single sign-on (SSO), a fundamental difference exists between Identity Providers (IdPs) and Service Providers. IdPs enable you to authenticate users accessing an application or website via SSO; Service Providers deliver the service you want users to consume. But in today's market, we're starting to see the lines blur as Read More

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Following is a statement from the Nuclear Energy Institute's Richard Myers, vice president for policy development, planning and supplier programs, on the comparison by antinuclear organizations of the possible loan guarantee for Southern Co.'s Plant Vogtle to Solyndra.
"There is no factual basis for the nonsensical claims these groups are making about the loan guarantee for the new advanced-design reactors that will be constructed at Plant Vogtle. Solyndra was a start-up manufacturing company competing in the global solar panel technology market. It had no assets, was working with an unproven technology with no customer base or steady revenue stream and obviously no profits.
"In contrast, Georgia Power, the lead partner in the Vogtle expansion, is a subsidiary of Southern Co., which has been in business for over 100 years with annual revenue in 2010 of $17 billion that can back its commitment to the U.S. Department of Energy with $26 billion in assets. The electricity from these reactors will be sold into a market regulated by state public utility commissions.
"Georgia Power has considerable financial skin in the game with more than $4 billion already invested, whereas Solyndra had virtually none. And just last week Fitch Ratings praised Southern Co. and its partners for the financial structuring of the project.
"In addition to the extensive due diligence activities conducted by the DOE loan guarantee program office, the Vogtle project is subject to rigorous federal and state oversight, including ongoing detailed project reviews being performed for the Georgia Public Service Commission."

Filing an Income Tax Extension
If you can't complete your 2013 federal tax return by the April 15, 2014 deadline, you can buy yourself more time.
Just file an extension to push the deadline back six months to October 15, 2014 and avoid IRS late-filing penalties.
There's a catch, though. The extension only pushes back the due date for the paperwork. If you owe money, you need to estimate the amount, then file your extension and make your payment by April 15, 2014.
1. EFile your tax extension online in minutes with TurboTax Easy Extension
File an extension and pay any income tax due by April 15 using our TurboTax Easy Extension web service. With TurboTax Easy Extension, you can:
- Efile your federal extension
- Make a payment of tax due, right from your checking or savings account
- Print a PDF copy of the extension you efiled
- Log into your Easy Extension account to see when your extension has been accepted by the IRS
- Access the forms you need to file a state extension by mail.
2. Print the IRS extension form, fill it out by hand, and mail it to the IRS
Refer to IRS Form 4868: Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. Print the form and instructions. Fill out the form and send it to the IRS address for your state.
If you owe federal taxes, include your payment with your Form 4868 and mail it—postmarked by April 15, 2014. (If you don't make a payment for the taxes due, you could be liable for penalties and interest, even if you've filed for an extension.) Then complete and file your return on or before October 15, 2014.
Need to use a credit card to pay taxes owed?
If you've efiled or mailed Form 4868 and need to pay by credit card, you can use one of several IRS approved Electronic Payment Methods. You can pay with your credit card online or by phone. File your complete return by October 15, 2014.
- If the IRS thinks your estimate of the amount of tax you owe is unreasonable, it may disallow your extension and assess a late-filing penalty.
- If you underestimate the amount of tax you owe, you'll have to pay interest on whatever amount you fail to pay by April15.
- If you pay less than 90 percent of the tax you owe, you'll end up owing a penalty of 0.5 percent of the underpayment every month until you pay the balance. For example, if you pay $600 on April 17, but discover when you complete your return that you really owe $1,000, you will owe 0.5 percent per month on the $400 that is overdue, or about $2 a month, until you pay the balance in full.
If you live outside the United States, you may be able to get an extension by filing IRS Form 2350: Application for Extension of Time to File U.S. Income Tax Return if you believe you will qualify for special tax treatment. See IRS Publication 54: Tax Guide for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad to learn if this form might help you.
State tax extension guidelines vary. To see detailed information about state extension filing deadlines and mailing addresses, select your state of interest from this state tax authority's website.
Remember, TurboTax Easy Extension can help you access the tax forms you need to file your state extension by mail.

Case Study: Techwan SA - Deployment Suite for Oracle
James Murtagh (@AllThingsOracle) speaks to Louis-Philippe Normandin, DBA and DB Architect at Techwan SA, about how easy it was to install and use the Deployment Suite for Oracle and how the tools are bringing benefits to Techwan SA and their customers.
JM: What does Techwan SA do?
LPN: Techwan SA develops complex applications to bridge computer technology and the most diverse means of communication such as telephony, radio, SMS messaging, alarm networks, paging and programmable devices.
JM: What is your current job role at Techwan SA?
LPN: DBA and Database Architect.
JM: What is your technical background and experience?
LPN: Software Engineer with more than 25 years doing development, database management and architecture.
JM: Please describe your development environment.
LPN: Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server 2010. SQL Server and Oracle databases. PostgreSQL to come. C#, Silverlight, WPF, WCF.
JM: What made you first look at the Deployment Suite for Oracle?
LPN:We were already familiar with the SQL Server tools and needed something similar for Oracle.
JM: How long did it take to install the tools and how difficult was it?
LPN:Installation is a breeze and learning to use the product is easy. No tutorial was used; just the online help was consulted for some specific options.
JM: How has the Deployment Suite for Oracle changed your development processes?
LPN: It helps us synchronize the developer modifications on the developer database with the reference database and then to propagate the modifications to our clients.
JM: What does this mean for your customers?
LPN: It doesn't change much for the clients but it definitely saves us a lot of time. And manual comparison is prone to errors so the Deployment Suite for Oracle makes our product more stable.
JM: Are there any features/characteristics of the tools that you especially like?
LPN: There are many useful options that help manage the synchronisation according to our needs. Some other tools we tried before sometimes had a hard time comparing objects because it was not possible to ignore certain features in the schema.
JM: How would you feel if someone took the tool away from you now?
LPN: I would have to find an equivalent product as doing this by hand is tedious.
JM: What new tools would you like to see in the Deployment Suite for Oracle?
LPN: Just look at all the SQL Server tools Red-Gate has ;)
JM: What do you do for fun, when you are not programming?
LPN: Mountain hikes, bicycle riding, skiing.

Buckeye State voters are the only ones in the nation who use primary election ballots in which candidates for judge are identified by party, then go to general elections in which party labels are absent.
State Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor said this week that the state should do away with party labels for primary elections, too. She made the comment as she unveiled an eight-point plan for improving judicial elections, during the state Bar Association's annual meeting in Cleveland.
Obviously, any system in which judges and justices are elected involves politics. But the public's perception of impartiality is affected even more when candidates are identified by party.
Fourteen states already conduct the whole process of judicial elections without identifying candidates' political party affiliations. O'Connor is right: Ohio should join them.

Ten ways to a happier Life :-)
Nov 24, 2010 12:24 AM »
salaams all,
> Ten Interpretations to a Happier Life
> Stress affects all of us and can show its
> manifestations in various forms. We cannot avoid it
> altogether, but what we can do is follow some of
> these hints to reduce stress from our lives. Here is
> a list of ten quotations and how we can interpret
> these to experience a happier and stress free
> tomorrow.
> 1) Cry a river; build a bridge; get over it.
> Let go of past failures, sadness and people whom we
> remember but who no longer care for us. This sounds
> so easy but its easier said than done. We all have
> gone through our share of heartaches and sadness.
> But when we constantly remember the pain and
> suffering we had endured, we are allowing that
> sadness to gain an upper hand over us. What we must
> realize is that what has happened has happened. Its
> over and done with. People change and times change.
> Moving on in life is very difficult but its the
> first constructive step to a better you.
> 2) Everything happens in its own time.
> There are things that we do and expect to be
> rewarded for which does not happen. In offices,
> there might be a promotion that we might have
> wanted, a high score on a test, or a job offer that
> we were sure that was to be given to us that never
> worked out. At such times we lose perspective and
> blame our luck and become despondent. We need to
> realize that there is a time for everything that
> happens in our lives. And when the appropriate time
> comes, things will start working the way they were
> supposed to work.
> 3) You are the only person who can make yourself
> happy.
> Think of "your" happiness, too, and be kind to
> yourself. In life, all of us have goals and
> ambitions. But in the pursuit of those goals, we
> lose sight of the bigger picture that we are doing
> these things to make ourselves happy. This is seen
> especially in the case of mothers who are doing so
> many things for their kids and family that they
> don't remember when the last time was that they did
> something for their own happiness.
> It happens to all of us. Be gentler with yourself.
> Make yourself happy, and that can be done in so many
> ways. Treat yourself to some ice cream, buy a book
> that you were dying to read, spend a day lolling in
> the bed doing nothing. We deserve it and so do our
> bodies.
> 4) Laughter is the best tranquilizer with no side
> effects.
> Laugh each and every day of your life. Humorous
> situations happen to us every single day. Whether
> you choose to enjoy the moment or not is your
> decision. There are so many excuses in our
> day-to-day life to have a good laugh. All we need to
> do is just look at the lighter side of life and
> enjoy the moment. When you laugh, don't think
> whether people are watching you or how much you
> laugh. It's their problem that they cannot find the
> humor in the situation that you have found.
> 5) Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
> As we make our journey through life, we have so many
> things to savor and experience. There is no such
> thing as instant happiness or happiness that can be
> found somewhere. Live your life each day, the same
> way you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance
> towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many
> beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new
> vantage point.
> 6) Do today what others won't so you can live
> tomorrow like others can't?
> So many times we are faced with duties and work that
> we are not happy doing or performing. In those
> times, instead of hating or shirking from that work,
> we can try and make use of the thought that somehow,
> whatever we are doing will prove beneficial to us
> one day or another. Maybe the results won't be seen
> tomorrow, but surely we will benefit because we did
> something that no one was willing to do. An example
> would be the people who started companies which are
> million dollar establishments today. They dared to
> venture and put their money in something that their
> colleagues would not have been willing to do, and
> today their work is paying off rich dividends.
> 7) It is never too late to be what you might have
> become.
> There are several factors that cause us to end up
> doing the work we do. Many of us, at some point of

> change and thought that it's too late to do it. But
> the truth is it's never too late. You can start

> and your decisions. Think of the people who attend
> college in their late 60's and 70's because they
> always wanted to do it. Such people are the ones who
> truly believe in this adage.
Treasure the love you receive; it will survive
> long after your gold and good health have vanished.
> We always seem to cherish our material possessions
> more than we should. But life can take a lot more
> from us. Today we might have good health, family
> love and a good home to go back to. What we forget
> is that there are so many calamities that can take
> away all our comforts, but love is something that
> can never be taken away. We need to be more
> demonstrative of our love towards others and treat
> our loved ones with more kindness and affection.
> 9) The journey of a thousand miles starts with a
> single step.
> Any huge task that needs to be done seems very
> daunting at first. But if we analyze the task
> carefully, and do it step-by-step, we will find that
> things get resolved very quickly and easily. But we
> need to be bold enough to take the first small step.
> Once that is done, we just need to proceed with
> additional small steps towards our goal.
> 10) Always have something to do, something to love,
> and something to hope for.
> These three things are what will keep the flame
> burning within all of us. Something to do will keep
> us busy, something to love will keep us motivated
> and something to hope for will take us faster
> towards our goal.

5th-Ranked Lakers Roll Past Lady Saints 72-44 in PBC Action
Contact: Steve Cunha, firstname.lastname@example.com
MORROW, GA – The North Georgia women's basketball team dropped their first conference game of the season on Tuesday evening, falling 72-44 to #5 ranked Clayton State at the Athletics & Fitness Center.
The Lakers (13-1, 3-0 PBC) started the game on a 10-2 run, holding the Lady Saints (6-4, 1-1 PBC) scoreless on their first four possessions and never looked back.
Clayton State's up-tempo style of play and full-court pressure proved to be too much for the youthful Lady Saints to handle.
With just under 10 minutes remaining in the opening half, the Lakers went on a 15-4 run capped by a layup by Tanisha Woodard to stretch the lead to 23 points.
The Lady Saints turned the ball over 22 times in the first half after turning it over only 19 times in their last game, an overtime victory over Newberry.
Despite trailing 42-16 at the half, North Georgia came out an inspired team in the second half, playing Clayton State tough.
After being outscored by 26 points in the opening half, the Lady Saints were outscored by only two in the second.
Jaymee Carnes continued to impress, registering her ninth double-double in 10 games and her third straight as she scored 23 points and pulled down 12 boards on nine of 13 shooting from the field.
Carnes scored North Georgia's first 12 points of the second half and was the only Lady Saint to score in double figures.
The loss was the ninth straight by the Lady Saints to Clayton State, who haven't lost to North Georgia since the 2006-07 season.
The Lakers had a balanced offensive attack with every player who saw action scoring. Leading the way was Keona Dixon who scored 15 points off the bench, while Woodard poured in 14 and pulled down eight boards.
The Lady Saints return to the hardwood on Saturday, January 7, when they travel to Augusta, Georgia, to take on Augusta State in the second game of their two-game road trip to open the 2012 calendar year.

With the coming of spring and summer, a young multiplex moviegoer's thoughts turn to special-effects-driven blockbusters set amid fantasy worlds. So it's refreshing to have a film come along at this time of year that is aimed at adults, takes place in the real world, and evokes a sense of literary grace.
That "Mud" may end up being one of the best films of the year just makes its arrival that much sweeter.
Directed by Little Rock-born, Austin-based director Jeff Nichols, who received critical hosannas for his little-seen 2011 feature "Take Shelter," "Mud" has the feel of a novel — perhaps one written by Carson McCullers or Texas writer Paul Horgan — that's rooted deep in American soil. Yet it was written specifically for the screen by Nichols, who has conjured up a coming-of-age story set in the South that doesn't resort to using caricatures and cliches.
Matthew McConaughey, who continues to be on a roll with a string of strong performances in recent years, plays Mud, a man on the lam who takes refuge on a small island in the
But Mud isn't just one man's story. It's also a portrait of a nowhere town and a way of life that's on the verge of extinction. The ramshackle houseboats the boys' families live in are under threat of demolition. Aside from their fascination with Mud, Ellis and Neckbone are typical adolescents, trying to navigate the choppy waters of their awakening sexuality and — judging from Ellis' experience with an older girl he has a crush on — not having much success. Also, Ellis is dealing with a family under emotional assault as the marriage of his parents (Sam Shepard and Sarah Paulson) slowly unravels.
McConaughey brings depth to a character who at first seems merely brashly macho. And Witherspoon, playing against her "Legally Blonde" stereotype, is nearly unrecognizable as a woman who has made many bad decisions in her life.
Nichols has described "Mud" as Mark Twain meets Sam Peckinpah, and if the director's affectionate portrait of a distinctively American way of life brings to mind the former, the inevitable showdown recalls the testosterone-fueled violence of the latter. (Though it should be noted, Nichols doesn't go overboard with the bloodletting; he's no Quentin Tarantino.)
By the time the credits roll, you'll feel as if you've just put down a good book. Cherish the feeling. With all the summer superheroes waiting in the wings, it's a buzz you may not experience for a few months.

Director: Jeff Nichols
Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Tye Sheridan, Jacob Lofland

Celibacy for priestsby Opinion Staff
The Catholic Church has just celebrated the year of the priest. But over the past year, steady revelations of misconduct by priests have marred the celebration.
Some church critics maintain that the requirement that priests maintain celibacy contributes to scandals. The church has long denied that the celibacy rule plays any part in the rape and abuse of children.
There have been other sex scandals that don't involve children. A prominent example involves the Rev. Alberto Cutie, a Miami priest caught by paparazzi on the beach with a girlfriend. He since has become and Episcopal priest.
Advocates of changing the celibacy requirement, which is a tradition but not part of church doctrine, say it drives out otherwise good priests and hinders recruitment, leaving the church short of priests. Still others say priests who are forbidden to wed can be at a loss when asked to counsel parishioners experiencing marital problems and stresses.
Asked to address the subject last week, Pope Benedict XVI again defended celibacy and called it "a great sign of faith, of the presence of God in the world."
What do you think? Should the Catholic Church allow priests to marry? Take our poll.

You know that is interesting Laurie!! I SWEAR every time I would see a really big improvement it was right AFTER I felt a little softer or "fluffy" for a few days, then bam I would wake up and my body would be different in the morning!
Thanks Laurie & Optigirl! Your reassurance has been great :)
MyDecade - I start week 8 on Tuesday, and I just realised that that means we have 5 weeks left to push harder and eat cleaner. I dunno about you but I have seen some great changes so far.
Last night I missed my workout and had a glass of wine after a very stressful day at work. That spiraled into two glasses and then chocolate....! First time I have cheated on the program, and I feel rubbish about it this morning. Funny thing is, I looked at my body in the mirror this morning and I actually look a bit slimmer... If you can get DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness), perhaps you can get DOBS (Delayed Onset Body Shrinking!) Making up my workout today and eating 100% clean!!!
It's rare that you will see results in the middle of the first week. Aim to measure your body fat% every two weeks or so. The tale of the tape is what counts.
I'm right there w/ya.....started week 8 yesterday, w/ ZERO results.....visibly! I've lost some inches, and clothes fit a "little looser", but that's it! HANG IN THERE.....WE CAN DO IT!!!!!
Live TODAY like there's no TOMORROW!
Yes Doing it!
We can do it! And as I said I'll do a 2nd challenge if needed. What I want out of this first and foremost is to obtain the discipline and pleasure of exercise and good eating habits. I plan to keep the exercise and the good eating well beyond the challenge and eventually it will happen to me too (I mean the transformation)
Yes Doing it, I also feel my clothes are just a bit looser, not too much but I can feel it nonetheless. I'll keep it up just like you.
Live life with passion!
I'm on week eight. I made a mistake on the first post.
I JUST sent my husband an email complaining about this VERY same thing. I'm in Week 6 and have not had any changes...well, I'm losing inches but nothing earth-shattering and I can't tell the difference in the way my clothes fit. My scale weight actually went up 2 lbs in Week 3 and stayed up...my body fat % is still the same and my BMI is still the same...
So incredibly frustrating. Just like you, I know my diet isn't perfect and in fact after Week 4 it became very lax but it's still 10 times better than it was before and I'm trying to get it back in order. I even started counting calories this week, just to make sure I'm not over-eating.
Anyway I could go on and on...just wanted to say thank you for being honest...helps me realize I'm not the only one and that I can thru this too.
Baby steps...
ugh....right there w/ya!!!! I'm in week 8 this week, and hardly ANY changes......but the more frustrated I get, the harder I'm trying! Last night I weighed as soon as I got to the gym, and was even more mad (shouldn't have done that I think!!!), b/c the scale has just stayed the same! I know like the others say, "it's just a #, muscle weighs more than fat, blah, blah, blah", but I think I would feel reassured @ this point that it's working, if that dang # would go DOWN!
Hang in there! :-) Tonya
Yes Diana and Tonya, I hear you both!
It is such an incredible motivator to se the # go down... But I will not give up. I have gain so much already by exercising six times a week! Something that seemed imposible just a few months ago. i will not give up. Numbers can be as they wish. I intend to adopt BFL as a life style.
A friend of my that is fit says: do not think about results, just enjoy exercising which carries its own reward. I agree. And about the diet. I'll become better and better over time too :)
Hi guys,
I just stumbled upon this forum as I logged on tonight feeling a bit down myself about not seeing any results so far... I have just finished week 8... and my clothes are barely even looser.
I have been eating clean, and ensuring my portions are right... and YES my workouts are faultless! Although I have definitely gained strength and can see some muscle tone developing but nothing earth shattering.
I am hoping I will fall into that "miracle" category of seeing some results right in those last few weeks, as my goal was to drop a size at the very least (was hoping for two sizes).
I know I don't have much to lose (you can see my before pics in my profile) but I really want to have definition and lose about 3-4kgs of fat (which would definitely take me down a size).
I have four weeks to go, so I have decided to implement some light cardio each day additionally to my normal BFL workouts, maybe this will help with the fat loss.
Has anyone else who has completed a challenge seen virtually no result right up till week 8 (in size)?
I feel I should have seen something (even drop half a size??).
I am trying to stay motivated but it can get difficult when I have stuck this out 100% for 8 weeks...
Mazjaz- I was just thinking about your yesterday and was about to message you to see how you were doing!
PLeeeezzzzzz! Hang in there! I started noticing in week 9. You are at the point in the challenge when your body will start to work! Hang in there!
Maybe you should post some of your meals and I would not recommend adding any extra cardio. I know it is difficult. I was used to running for hours when I started my first challenge. Going from that kind of cardio to 20 min. HIIT was a test of faith. Go by the book baby!!! Your caloric intake is already low enough. You don't need to burn more calories or your body is going to want to hang on to stuff. Go by the book for 4 more weeks ! You can do it. Make sure you are lifting heavy too.
Mazjaz ~ I right there w/you too........I went to dinner last night, and put on a pr. of jeans that I haven't worn in a long time, and they were skin tight, & I was like, you have got to be kidding me??!!!! But I'm gonna hang in there & push harder these next 4 weeks. WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!
I am very glad that I stumbled upon this thread! I am just finishing week 4, and my results are discouraging. The first week I dropped 4lbs of scale weight, and 3 more the second week, but it hasn't budged since. I have lost a few inches here and there, but I guess not being an objective viewer I haven't noticed it myself.
It is encouraging to know that I'm not alone in my anxiety over change! It's hard to believe that I could look like one of that "after" pictures when I'm nowhere near that point and already a third of the way through the program. I definitely feel stronger, in the upper body especially, but the scale is a nuisance!
Thanks for all of the advice on here, guys, it really helps!
:) :) :)
Yes you can MsBrightSide!
I am now at a point where I have already commited myself to a second challenge. I am commited to obtain what I want from my body... I have muscle I can feel under the fat and I will work hard to get rid of the fat to show up hte muscle!

I think 2012 will be a fascinating year for market research in South Africa, as more specialist tools and techniques are increasingly absorbed into mainstream methodologies. New technology will be a key driver, but this will be carefully balanced by efforts to really understand consumer behaviour by directly engaging respondents.
By Leanne Freeman 20 Jan 2012 12:08
We are in the middle of an exciting period in the marketing research industry, with a number of major shifts taking place that affect how research is done. The web in particular has led to multiple developments which threaten to topple the cherished technologies and techniques that have dominated the last two decades.
