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.
Amethyst, the most precious member of the quartz family, exhibits purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep purple, sometimes exhibiting reddish or rose overtones. Very deep-colored amethysts are the finest and most highly valued. Some stones are so over-saturated with color they have areas that are blacked out, which can negatively impact their value. Paler shades, sometimes called "Rose of France," were common in Victorian jewelry. Banding—darker and lighter zones of color—is also a common occurrence. Occasionally, amethyst is even found combined with its sister quartz, citrine, into a single stone called ametrine.
The birthstone for February, amethyst is an extremely popular gem for jewelry because of its regal color, variety of sizes and shapes, affordability and wide range of hues. It also is the recommended gem for couples celebrating their 6th and 17th wedding anniversaries. With a hardness of 7.0 on the Mohs Scale , amethyst can occur as long prismatic crystals that have six-sided pyramids at either end, or can form as drusies that are crystalline crusts that only show the pointed terminations.
The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst made one immune to the effects of alcohol. In fact, the name even comes from the Greek word amethystos, which means "not drunken." Legend has it that the amethyst originated from Bacchus, the god of wine. Bacchus became angry at the mortals and vowed that the next mortal to cross his path would be eaten by tigers. Amethyst, a beautiful young maiden, was on her way to worship the goddess, Diana. Diana turned her into colorless quartz to keep her from being eaten. Bacchus observed the miracle and repented his hasty decision. He poured wine over the young maiden, leaving her feet and legs colorless. This is the reason that amethyst crystals are usually uneven in color and have a colorless base at the bottom. Because amethyst was believed to prevent drunkenness, wine goblets were often carved from it in ancient Greece. Today, the gem still symbolizes sobriety.
Amethyst has been a part of history throughout the ages. Evidence suggests that prehistoric humans used amethysts for decoration as early as 25,000 B.C. Legends suggest that the Egyptian queen Cleopatra wore an amethyst signet ring, as did Saint Valentine, who bared an amethyst engraved with the figure of Cupid. During medieval times, people used the stone as medication to stay awake and alert. Leonardo Da Vinci claimed that amethyst could dissipate evil thoughts and quicken the intelligence. In some legends, the stone represents piety, celibacy and dignity. In the Middle Ages, for instance, the gem was an important ornamentation for the Catholic Church and other religions. It was considered the stone of bishops, and they still often wear amethyst rings. In Tibet, amethyst is considered sacred to Buddha and rosaries are often made from it. Amethyst has also long been a favorite of kings and queens for its royal purple hues that symbolize wisdom, strength and confidence. Amethysts are even featured in the British Crown Jewels and were worn by Catherine the Great.
Amethyst's availability and magical qualities make it the stone of preference in ancient lore and mysticism. As a meditation stone, it is said to quiet the mind, promote contemplation, sharpen psychic powers and uplift the spirit. It is a stone of deep wisdom. Folklore says it can quicken the wit, calm fears, ward off anger and overcome alcoholism. It has a royal purple essence that is said to lend courage to travelers, scare off thieves and protect travelers from harm, sickness and danger. Placed under the pillow or worn to bed, there are claims it promotes peaceful sleep, pleasant dreams, and the healing of tired joints and muscles. Amethyst can also be worn to supposedly make the wearer gentle, amiable and happy.
The stone is mined in Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Argentina, as well as in Zambia, Namibia and other African nations. Very dark amethyst in small sizes also is mined in Australia. But the ideal for fine quality amethyst was set by a Siberian variety, often called Russian or Uralian amethyst, which is now considered a defunct source. Generally, South American amethyst tends to come in larger sizes than African amethyst, but the African variety has a reputation for having deeper color intensity and is therefore considered more valuable. The African version also is harder to come by than amethyst mined from South America. Most of today's amethyst comes out of Brazil.
Named from the French word for lemon, "citron," citrine is a variety of quartz available in a range of golden hues from lemon, to straw, to sun yellow, to deep gold, to orange, brown and deep red. Darker colors are more highly valued, including the medium golden-orange and dark-sherry colors, sometimes called Madeira citrines after the color of the wine.
Citrine crystals can form together with amethyst to form ametrine, or with smoky quartz to form bicolored quartz. Citrine is generally less expensive than amethyst, and is also available in a wide range of calibrated sizes and shapes, including very large sizes. Considered an alternative to topaz as the birthstone for November, it is also thought to be the traditional gift for couples celebrating their 13th and 17th wedding anniversaries. Citrine ranks a 7.0 on the Mohs Scale, and because of this durability, it is ideal for jewelry wear.
Almost all citrine on the market is heat-treated amethyst, and generally starts life as either smoky quartz or amethyst geodes. Heat treatments first turn them clear and then give them a permanent color ranging from yellow to brownish-red. In some amethyst deposits, the amethyst has been partially or fully changed to brown citrine by natural means of heating, thereby transforming it into citrine. Natural citrine is pale yellow to orange, and occurs in much lighter hues than the heat-treated material. Citrines whose colors have been produced by artificial means tend to have much more of an orange or reddish caste than those found in nature. Since most citrine was originally amethyst that was heated to turn its color to gold, both citrine and amethyst jewelry should be kept away from prolonged exposure to strong light or heat.
Citrine is found in volcanic rocks and quartz veins and owes its color to the presence of iron. Most citrine is mined in Brazil, but almost all of the Brazilian material is heat-treated amethyst. Supplies are most plentiful in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, particularly from the Serra Mine. The Ira' Mine also produces large quantities of the gem. Citrine can also be found in the Ural Mountains of Russia, in Dauphine, France, and in Madagascar.
In ancient times, citrine was carried as a protection against snake venom and evil thoughts. It was thought to give calmness and mental balance to its wearer. Throughout history, people have confused citrine for topaz. Many citrines were sold as topaz and thus thought to carry the same qualities, such as knowledge and beauty. Today, citrine symbolizes truth and integrity, and is believed to promote creativity and personal clarity. It is also believed to impart happiness and cheer to its wearer while raising self esteem, as well as cleanse, regenerate and attract abundance.

Oil On Canvas
I love knowing that she will always be floating through the doorway, always halfway between...
wonderful!! very unique.
Beautifully intriguing!
It seems to be an impossible painting. It is great to see how many different whites you used.
Ooooh, I love white-on-white, especially in oils!
Amazing!!!! i just love the way you handle drapery... Just in love with ur work!!!
Lovely, lovely in both composition, them and execution. I like the little touch of the shoes by the doorway too.
Thanks! Actually that is a small sculpture of a rabbit! It is i a bit of an inside joke...the artist's name is Ken Hall but I thought when I asked Gayle what the story with the rabbit was and she said "His name is Ken Hall" that she meant the rabbit's name was! It was funny...hence his inclusion.
I like the composition from the back, It gives me curious feeling about the person I see, and makes me wanna wait till she turns around and show her face. Verry lifelike and intrigeing

Hip-hop's economic evolvement has made it nearly impossible for groups to remain self-contained, but the breakup of A Tribe Called Quest was especially disheartening. After culminating their decade long run of influence with, The Love Movement, Tribe loyalists immediately shifted gears, and turned their attention to frontman Q-Tip's solo-debut Amplified; delegating the group's oft-neglected Phife Dawg back into a role he has become very accustomed to—second fiddle.
While Tip was the group's most visible entity, to simply label Phife as being the Ying, to Tip's Yang is simply not fair. Despite being afforded little opportunity to bask in the Quest's spotlight, Phife's contribution to the group's dynamic chemistry cannot be underestimated. Eager to step out of Tip's shadow, Phife has many questions to answer with his solo-debut, Ventilation, none bigger then finally proving that he can hold down an LP strictly on the merits of his own lyrical skills. So, can Phife kick it solo, well—-yes he can.
Ventilation not only reveals Phife's true musical ambitions, but the feelings he has repressed since the legendary group disassembled. Though the group's split was deemed amicable, "Flawless" suggests shit isn't sweet in Quest's camp. Sending tremors through Tribe's sacred foundation, Phife spares the rod on Ali, but questions his former partners new "jiggy" image on "Flawless"—"go ahead/play yourself with those hoe like hooks/sing ballads if its all about that Maxwell look", further "FUBU suit with Steve Madden boots make we wanna puke/Phat Farm shorts with a garter belt looking like a hoar/or a purple bandanna cause it matches your shaw." Though Phife's frivolous lyrical banter becomes monotonous for stretches, a top-notch production squad (Hi-Tek, Pete Rock, Jay Dee, Fredwreck, and Supa Dav West) keeps Ventilation musically stimulating throughout. Jay Dee "Ben Dova" and Pete Rock "Melody Adonis" lace Phife with their signature sounds. But Phife spark up the most immediate chemistry with Hi-Tek, "D.R.U.G.S." and "Alphabet Soup", as Phife's unassuming voice flourishes over Tek's minimal grooves.
What Phife's solo-debut lacks in execution, is compensated with intrigue. Other then a few aimless party-cuts, "The Club Hoppa", Phife steers Ventilation on a fairly consistent course. One things for certain, after hearing Ventilation Q-Tip is surely wondering who let this Dawg out.

If the world must resort to geoengineering as a means of mitigating dangerous effects of anthropogenic climate change, how well would it understand what it is getting itself into?
Since Nobel Prize-winning physicist Paul Crutzen, formerly a researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, lent credence to the idea of conducting large-scale efforts to influence Earth's climate systems in a 2006 essay in the journal Climatic Change, research centers have explored the feasibility of various techniques. While the logistics of mitigation efforts and their ethical considerations have been widely discussed, a basic analysis of how geoengineering projects could affect ecosystems has lagged, said Lynn Russell, a professor of atmospheric chemistry at Scripps.
At the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting (U44B-03· Thursday, Dec. 8, 4:30-4:45 p.m. · Moscone South Room 104), Russell and others will discuss a report on two broad categories of geoengineering strategies that have recently been advanced. The panelists were all participants in a geoengineering workshop hosted by Scripps in January 2011 from which the report was produced. The panel will also discuss what it will take to assess the feasibility of mitigation methods, especially in regard to their potential to benefit or damage ecosystems.
"Because research on this topic is just beginning, our report summarizes what is known, but also suggests the type of research that will be necessary to answer the questions we posed," said the panelists.
Sunlight reflection methods are one of the two categories. They generally involve attempts to reflect more sunlight back into space, therefore diverting that heat energy away from Earth's surface. The workshop report has assessed the relative merits and risks of sunlight reflection methods, one of which involves reflective aerosols introduced into the upper reaches of the atmosphere. Such methods could entail efforts that require a great deal of manpower from multiple countries.
Russell notes, as an example of what could go wrong, that if such efforts were initiated and then stopped for whatever reason, the sudden reversion to less sun reflection could do more harm than good to ecosystems.
"If you stopped the efforts, climate change would occur much more rapidly. There would be less time for ecosystems to react," said Russell. "The hope would be that the report would make the community aware of these open questions and that people pursue these questions individually and collaboratively," Russell added.
The other category of geoengineering considered by Russell and her colleagues, carbon dioxide removal, requires a similar thinking-through of potential unwanted catastrophic consequences.
The publication of Crutzen's essay is cited by many as the moment when geoengineering became a legitimate topic, said co-panelist Margaret Leinen, executive director of the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in Fort Pierce, Fla. Leinen has assessed a geoengineering technique that accelerates carbon dioxide removal by fertilizing oceans with iron or other micronutrients for phytoplankton, a technique widely discussed, though evidence of its consequences remains fraught with uncertainty. She noted that geoengineering has been the subject of three Congressional hearings and discussed in Britain's parliament since the essay appeared. As serious consideration spreads, however, workshops like that held at Scripps are necessary to ensure that ecosystem risk/reward analyses take place as these strategies are studied, she said.
"People have been talking about very substantial geoengineering field tests. We're saying that as you consider all of this, you need to include in your planning ways to study ecological consequences at the same time that you study the techniques," Leinen said.

Andy Tennant directed this -Cinderella variant. The Brothers Grimm arrive at the home of a wealthy Grande Dame (Jeanne Moreau) who speaks of the many legends surrounding the fable of the cinder girl before telling the "true" story of her ancestor. In flashback, the story then focuses on eight-year-old Danielle, daughter of a wealthy widower, a 16th-century landowner. After returning to France with his new wife Rodmilla (Anjelica Huston) and her two daughters, he dies of a heart attack. Ten years later, Danielle (Drew Barrymore) is now treated as a servant by the trio. Fortunately, she has an encounter with Prince Henry (Dougray Scott), who is fleeing an arranged marriage. Later, when Danielle poses as a Lady, the Prince takes an interest in her. Inventor-artist Leonardo da Vinci (Patrick Godfrey), accepting the French court's patronage, offers advice to Prince Henry on matters of the heart. George Fenton's music adds an accompaniment to the lush look of this period romance. Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
Based on William Goldman's novel of the same name, The Princess Bride is staged as a book read by grandfather (Peter Falk) to his ill grandson (Fred Savage). Falk's character assures a romance-weary Savage that the book has much more to deliver than a simpering love story, including but not limited to fencing, fighting, torture, death, true love, giants, and pirates. Indeed, The Princess Bride offers a tongue-in-cheek fairy tale depicting stable boy-turned-pirate Westley's journey to rescue Buttercup (Robin Wright), his true love, away from the evil prince (Chris Sarandon), whom she had agreed to marry five years after learning of what she had believed to be news of Westley's death. With help from Prince Humperdinck's disgruntled former employee Miracle Max (Billy Crystal), swordsman Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), and a very large man named Fezzik (Andre the Giant), the star-crossed lovers are reunited. Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide
One of the great stories of doomed love is given a new screen interpretation in this historical drama. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, King Donnchadh (David O'Hara) of Ireland has become the de facto ruler of England, but one of his underlings, Lord Marke (Rufus Sewell), dreams of uniting British forces with an eye toward self-rule. One of Marke's most valuable allies is Tristan (James Franco), Marke's protégé, who has become a brave warrior since he was rescued by the lord after his parents were murdered by Irish forces during a battle. While Marke and Tristan dream of banishing Ireland's presence in England, Tristan has a secret he's been hiding from Marke -- after suffering serious wounds during a hard-fought battle, he was rescued and nursed back to health by Isolde (Sophia Myles), King Donnchadh's daughter, and the two fell deeply in love. But the couple were separated after Tristan returned to England, and when Donnchadh attempts to quell the British uprising by staging a tournament among the nation's greatest warriors, an extreme and rather personal surprise is in store for Tristan. Tristan Isolde was directed by Kevin Reynolds and produced in part by Ridley Scott, who attempted to bring the story to the screen back in the 1970s. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Social Broadcast to Twitter shows a positive character count but cuts the post short. When I add to it it says it's too long - even though the character count is still positive.
Social Broadcast to Facebook limits the post character count to well below Facebook's limit. I always have to disable and post manually. manual post is fine, so why does Social limit the character count?

I have been having tons of contractions:( when they come I can feel the contraction pushing the babies causing pressure. I also lost a big chunk of my mucus plug(sorry tmi). I have laid down, drank water, took a shower, walked, Tylenol, I am out of ideas:( my contractions aren't regular though they last 25-30 seconds and come every 9-14 minutes. I really don't want to have to go back to the hospital!
Looks like I may end up back in l&d:(

Update us when you find something out. I would go in if you lost your plug to make sure your cervix is good.
Posted 10/16/2012
I know it's tiring. I'm sorry but sounds like your body is preparing. Keep us updated

If you've lost your plug you can get infections, so even though it's a pain I would go to L&D. Hope everything's well. Sending positive thoughts your way!

Dane DeHaan Finds a Future in the Pines
While getting ready to film "The Place Beyond the Pines" in Schenectady, Dane DeHaan was injured—but not while preparing one of his violent scenes. "The bike I ride in the movie, I built that from scratch," the 27-year-old actor said. "I started to learn tricks on it and 15 minutes into my first lesson, I had to go to the emergency room because I went over the handlebars."
The accident left a mark on his chin that is visible in the movie. But the scar lent some credibility to his character, Jason, a scrappy high-schooler who doesn't shrink from physical altercations.
When he isn't promoting "Pines," which just opened in limited release, he is working on his next project, the highest-profile one of his young career: Harry Osborn in the coming "Amazing Spider-Man" sequel. Of course, by the time that film reaches screens in 2014, Mr. DeHaan will have also appeared as Lucien Carr in "Kill Your Darlings," murder suspect Chris Morgan in Atom Egoyan's "Devil's Knot," and a roadie in a 3D film about Metallica.
The Journal recently spoke with Mr. DeHaan at a café near his Williamsburg home.
After a recurring role on the HBO show "In Treatment," you made three films before anyone saw your star turn in "Chronicle." What was that quiet period like?
Well, no one really watched "In Treatment." It was a prestige project for HBO. Our ratings rounded down to a 0.0. So there was a point where things were kind of weird. Even going back home and having to explain to people, like, "Hey what's going on?" "Well, I've been making these movies." "What are the movies?" "Well one I'm in with Shia LaBeouf, and one I'm in with Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling. And one is 20th Century Fox and I'm like the star of it." They probably thought I was a liar.
Let's talk about how you build a character. In "Spider-Man," for example, how do you make Harry Osborn your own?
It's really all about what he does and how what he does informs who he is, and ultimately his spine—what drives him forward. And then scene to scene, it's just about what I want in that scene. As long as I can keep going after what I want, then as that person I've created, that to me is acting. It's really fooling yourself into believing it's happening and really doing it.
If you're fooling yourself while filming, how do you reconcile that with an off-camera life?
I do my best to turn it off. But inevitably when working 14 hours a day pretending I'm someone else, then going home sleeping and waking up and doing it again for however long a shoot is, there's a part of the character that always comes home with me. My wife is very aware that who I am is oftentimes influenced by what character I'm playing at the time. It can provide some interesting moments in my personal life. Then once the film is done, the character dies and I mourn the loss, and then I move on to the next.
You worked in theater before you did films. Does your stage work inform your film work?
I went to five years of acting school to really learn a method of acting. So that's something I do whether it's stage or screen. I think without that training I wouldn't know what I was doing. It's really my anchor. Theater for me is more of a meditation. It's the same thing every night, and you know it's going to be there and you have to let it live. You have to keep it alive. In film it's different every single day. You're never doing the same thing. So in that way it's a different monster. But the work behind it is always the same.

Train your dog to be obedient and you'll not only have a great pet and companion but one that's easy to control and will obey your commands.
If you've just got a brand new puppy, it's certainly wise to get some dog obedience training to set them on the right path, but you can also do it for older dogs that have never had any form of obedience training in the first instance. This is often the case with dogs obtained from Rescue centres.

Re: Can't get approved
I didn't try any secured credit cards. My question with those is, will they really help me rebuild my credit. My credit score has jumped over 100 points since I filed Chapter 13 last August. I'm only about 30 points away from 620. I really want to purchase a house within the next six months and I need to re-establish credit but I only have one credit card. I'm still paying my car note through my Chapter 13 but they aren't reporting it on my credit report anymore.
Do you think I can still use them as a tradeline even though they're not reporting on my credit report?

Reviews for Sexual Violence Center
I have been a volunteer at the Sexual Violence Center for over a year now. During my time, I have answered crisis line calls on overnight shifts, as well as met clients at the hospital during an evidentiary exam. I've also been a peer counselor for mostly the Spanish-speaking clientele that come through our doors.
By far the best experience I've had working at SVC has been facilitating a support group for high school girls. I had an amazing group of teens who had really been through a lot. During those three months, we built trust with each other and slowly worked our way through painful experiences. We talked about self-care and coping--ways to deal with the pain that are positive and self-loving. At the end of our time together, I could see the growth and healing that had begun in these girls, and it was such a powerful experience for me!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Working at the Sexual Violence Center has taught me so much about the impact of trauma and violence, and the power and beauty in healing and recovery. I've seen first-hand how sexual violence affects men and women of every generation, race, gender and sexual orientation. But the most powerful thing is seeing these people feel whole again, complete and healed. At SVC we facilitate that healing through counseling services, meeting clients at the hospital or at court, and providing other resources.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would give SVC more resources to expand its growing vision. I would help SVC get a better physical home and support its great staff.
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
A lot
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Quite well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
It taught me about recovery, trauma, healing, empathy.
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
It made me feel like I could make a difference. That even just one extra volunteer was filling an important need. It was empowering.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I took my training at the Sexual Violence Center in September of 2009. The training was expansive, eye opening, done by the staff and guest speakers. And the follow through with support from the staff is always consistent, educational, and complimented by straight forwardness and good humor. The intent of SVC to promote awareness is always foremost in any contact that I've had and then that is then forwarded on by myself as a volunteer.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I've attended the Green Dot Seminar which gave the attendees several layers of tools to recognize and handle sexually charged situations. One advocacy I went on which I thought the victim/survivor probably wouldn't contact SVC actually did connect and began 1:1 counseling sessions. I see every day the passion and the determination of the staff in promoting support to all who cross their doorstep, in working with other organizations to provide a consistent and cohesive outreach.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Perhaps the internal paperwork could be less, the weekend shifts could be broken down differently.

Meet Anand Mehta

Brought up in a middle class family in India, he learned from his parents that hard work, ethics and higher education were the gateway to endless success in life. In pursuit of his dreams, he left his family, country and career with Price Waterhouse for the University of Central Missouri, where he earned his MBA in 1975.
In his years with the Boys and Girls Club, he helped to lead one of the fastest growing youth organizations in America, transforming the lives of millions of youths from disadvantaged circumstances, through generation-changing programs that serve some 4,000+ Boys and Girls clubs throughout the country and military bases overseas.
His career has involved progressively greater responsibilities and today includes oversight of financial management, strategic planning, accounting, budgeting and forecasting, auditing, risk management, grants and contracts management, and information systems.

The visually striking canals, bridges, and slim streets wind in and around unique buildings, dazzling designer shops, and renowned churches, museums, and galleries. You're sure to find a treasure around every turn, such as one-of-a-kind Murano glass designs and delectable gelato.

A EUR 5 per-person, per-night city tourist tax will be collected by the hotel upon check-out. The tax, which is imposed by the city of Venice, must be paid in cash and will be separate from your final statement.
Clichés come to be reborn in Venice, where all the picture books in the
world won't prepare you for the sight of its gilded palaces rising from the sea. Explore
the city's famous churches and museums but set aside time to get lost in The Canaled
One. Deceptive, mysterious Venice has a soft spot for wanderers, and to them she will
open her heart. There are many ways to explore the city, not the least of which is
getting lost in its labyrinth of streets. (Don't be surprised to come to an intersection
with signposts for your destination pointing in different directions—there's more than
one way to get there.) Don't miss taking a gondola, the most enduring of numerous
flat-bottomed craft that were developed to navigate the lagoon's shallow waters. These
austerely beautiful and elegantly designed boats have evolved over centuries to meet
Venice's unique needs.

Non-linear Distortions of Loudspeaker Radiators in Closed Enclosures
The one-degree of freedom system consisting of mass, stiffness and mechanical resistance driven by magneto-electric transducer is analysed as a model of loudspeaker moving system. The non-linearity is introduced into stiffness equation (stiffness of suspensions and loudspeaker enclosure) and equation of electromechanical coupling coefficient Bl. The research is aimed on recognition of an influence of the enclosure on total non-linear properties of the loudspeaker radiator. The MATHCAD worksheet for analysis of the problem is presented in the appendix of the paper.

if you have never seen an Italian crime movie, this is a great place to start. unlike many other films of this type, it actually works on an emotional level as well as being very entertaining, simular to the films of Scorsese. it's a very violent film, but none of the violence is gratuitous. lots of stylish slow motion shootings, car explosions, and people run over by various moter vehicles, and the excellent musical score by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis captures the emotion of these scenes perfectly. the cast is also very good, especialy Italian Star Franco Nero. highly recommended.
Fast paced, violent and innovative crime thriller with director Castellari and star, Franco Nero on top form. This becomes a little complicated in the middle when there is some jockeying for position between baddies but it finishes well and that start! The great cinematography is evident from the beginning of the credits when from behind the titles we see the gradually enlarging exit to a shipping tunnel. As soon as we dock the chase is on as the suspected drug dealer is chased around the streets by good cop Nero. And what a chase, now I'm no great fan of such things that can in my opinion be overused as padding, but here is a real thrill, and so it goes on for much of the film. Not much time for romance and just the briefest nudity before we are back on the hectic and all consuming search for Mr Big. Lots of references to corruption, communism and general unrest all add to the atmosphere. Have only had the chance to see this dubbed so a subtitled print would be good to see some time.
This was the first break-through success of a Poliziotti Italian crime movie
and spawned several dozen imitations. Possibly the best film ever made,
High Crime delivers the goods like few other movies, blending some
experimental filming and editing techniques in with some good performances,
solid action sequences, great music, and some pretty stunning photography by
Alejandro Ulloa. Unlike a lot of other crime flicks made around the same
period, this film isn't sympathetic at all to the villains. They are cold
and heartless thugs who's so anything to keep themselves out of jail where
they rightfully belong. This film is completely fascist and right-wing in
its undertones, yet maintains an engaging level of emotional impact
throughout. The scene where Franco Nero discovers his daughter dead made me
almost want to cry... and Castellari expertly handles the flashbacks and
knows just when to use slow motion in all the right spots.
This wasn't the film which set the trend in Italian crime films (see Violent Professionals) but it was an excellent film which caused their widespread (yet short-lived) popularity. Certain elements (like the getting-in-car-gun-down) were endlessly repeated in the genre by Castellari himself as well as his father Marino Girolami, who totally ripped off the ending of this film in ROMA VIOLENTA, a much more typical film in the genre with Maurizio Merli, who although is not as good an actor as Franco Nero, is much more intense as the leading man in these sorts of films.
Wow! This film has all that you've come to expect from a Euro Crime
flick. Violent murders, long shoot-outs with machine guns, a
hot-tempered police officer who loathes criminals, downright evil
henchmen and much, much more. Franco Nero has lately become one of my
favorite actors, and not without a reason; in this film he proves what
a talent he really had. This might just be Enzo G. Castellari's best
crime film. It's very nicely directed, with some very interesting
camera work and the music by the De Angelis brothers is the best and
most suitable score I've heard them deliver to this point. It perfectly
fits in with the various situations that Nero's character finds himself
The only copy I could get a hold of was a region 0 release from 23rd Century (?). It does not have the best audio or video quality, but it's watchable. Availiable on Ebay as "The Marseilles Connection".
If you're a fan of either Nero or Castellari, or of course, both, this is a film you have to see!
In case you're looking for action cinema without restraints, boundaries, fake sentiment or political correctness, you have to aim your senses towards the so-called Italian "Poliziottesco" movies. That is a commonly known fact, or at least I always assumed so, but still this is a vastly underrated sub genre even among cult cinema fanatics. The same great names of Italian cult cinema often return, like for example those of director Enzo G. Castellari and charismatic lead actor Franco Nero. These two prodigies often worked together, but this is arguably their finest piece of work (or at least on par with the terrific western "Keoma"). The words "awesome" and "brilliant" spring to mind when witnessing a movie that opens with artsy credits and promptly continues with an exhilarating and non-stop 10 minutes (!) lasting car chase sequence and then a virulent explosion. The intro immediately sets the pace for a masterfully adrenalin-rushing and hardcore-to-the-bone cop thriller, reminiscent to "The French Connection" and "Dirty Harry" only much more outrageous. Franco Nero depicts the devoted and unstoppable police commissioner Belli, who initiates a merciless crusade to cleanse his city entirely of Mafiosi, drug couriers and corruption. Belli receives voluntary cooperation from a former crime boss, but he's undoubtedly doing it for his own benefit. The support from his superiors is minimal since several prominent citizens may be involved in dirty business and, whenever Belli reaches a major breakthrough in his investigations, they try and strike back on a personal level. The overall plot, with particularly the double-crossings and betrayals between crime gang members mutually, is extremely convoluted and often very confusing but the extended and mega-violent shootout sequences don't require a lot of thinking. The villains are truly relentless and loathsome thugs without a conscience whatsoever, but Belli isn't a wussy himself, as his investigation methods qualify as quite unorthodox as well. Without wanting to ruin things, I can safely say there are a couple of very effective sentimental and dramatic moments near the end of the film as well as some blatant shocks and "High Crime" ends exactly like it begun: with a long and fascinating explosion of violence and excitement. The score is terrific and Castellari once again proves that he's a visually very gifted director, as the stylistic trademarks are often stunning to behold.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This was my introduction to Poliziotteschi films, and also my
introduction to Enzo G Castellari, who in my opinion may be the
greatest Italian director of the 70s and 80s. I can't get enough of
this guy's films! In fact, when I started watching this, a large beam
of light focused on me and a voice said "Spend cash on all my movies,
chosen one."
This was a rubbish video transfer copy of High Crime that I picked up for a quid, but even the washed out look and occasional flicker couldn't detract from the greatness of this movie. It's proof that beyond zombie flicks and slasher movies, there's a whole world of groovy Italian films out there.
A mysterious man is taken from Marsielles to Genoa, and before he can go about his business, he's on the run from the cops, led by Comissioner Belli (Nero). The chase soon switches from foot to car, with some really dangerous looking stunts going on. There's one shot where the cars are heading straight for the cameraman, then abruptly cuts away. Hope the guy survived. If not, then he died contributing towards a good cause. Who knows in these films.
Belli gets his man, but before he can question him a car bomb kills the guy, three cops, and a little girl. As this is an Italian movie, we get to see a burning carcass flying out of the car window when it blows up. The film has hardly started.
It seems that there's a new crime family trying to muscle in on things in Genoa, and Belli wants to get straight to the top and arrest Mister Big. Belli's boss, played by James Whitmore, knows who these guys are but due to their political connections is reluctant to do anything about it. Belli ends up getting help from an unlikely source: an ailing mafia boss who's own men are starting to switch sides, a man who also seems to be obsessed with using metaphors and analogies littered with animal/insect/eating imagery. He's cool though, and his sidekick was alright too.
The problems facing Belli and numerous: who is the real Mister Big? Who can he trust? Every time he thinks he's got to the top, the suspect is murdered. Worse still, the deeper he gets the more his loved ones are put at risk. Does he risk all or heed the repeated warnings to back off? This being an Italian film, do you think anyone at all will be alive at the end of the film?
There's hardly a minute wasted in High Crime. A constantly shifting storyline that flys through its running time, switching scenes at an alarming rate, and only slightly getting confusing once all the characters are introduced. By that point, however, people start getting bumped off as characters double cross each other and try to shift suspicion onto others. This is done usually in slow motion, with a kind of standard squib-or-no-squib-at-all technique that is also prevalent in Italian war movies.
Aside from the funky soundtrack, there are two main factors that make this film a classic: Castellari and Nero. The direction is flawlessly high energy: even dialogue scenes are infused with nervous hyperactivity. There's good use of slow motion, especially when main characters are assassinated, plus plenty of bizarre camera angles, shaky cam, and some shots that reminded me of spaghetti westerns. Everyone is kind of sleazy, and you can't help applaud when a guy with a slight squint sniffs some smack, turns to the camera and mutters 'pure snow'.
He doesn't shy away from the violence either. One character is killed by meathooks, another has his head run over by a bike, then gets castrated, a kid gets run over and dragged along the road, and in one stand-out scene, Massimo Vanni gets shot in the balls in slow motion! When Massimo Vanni turns up in a film he always does two things - a couple of stunts, and a mini massacre, then a (sometimes) gory death. He's class. Watch for him in Street Law, Bronx Warriors, Big Racket, Bronx Warriors 2, Zombie Flesh Eaters 2 (and 3!) and other films I've forgotten. I befriended a stray dog when staying in Sorrento last year, and someone had gone out their way to buy this dog a tag naming him Massimo. I knew there and then it was a tribute to Massimo Vanni.
Franco Nero is the icing on the cake. The guy acts his socks off here. Belli does three things: chasing people, shouting and slapping people around. When he's not doing one he's doing another. He shouts at the bad guys, his colleagues, even his girlfriend. He slaps six different people around. The guy literally cannot sit still. His agitation at the ever elusive Mister Big comes out in flailing hands and stamping feet, gnashing of teeth and bursting into rooms. When the film calls for him to be more calm and emotional, he can do that too. Then he slaps more people around and kills them.
This is a brilliant film, and it feels somehow epic even though it lasts just over 90 minutes. If they remade it today in Hollywood it would last 4 hours and be Shiite.
One of Castellari's finest works. The acting is superb. Excellent usage of lighting and settings. Unpredictable turn of events and good images. There is almost nothing wrong with this film for people who are into crime dramas.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Enzo G. Castellari's first police procedural crime thriller "High
Crime" a.k.a. "La polizia incrimina la legge assolve" (1973) qualifies
as violent, tragic, but memorable. The auto chases are fast and
furious. The villains are thoroughgoing dastards who are prepared to
kill anybody, including children. They run down our hero's daughter
without a qualm in one scene. Not only do they smash into her, but they
also drive over her body. Of course, obvious dummies were used in this
scene as well as in the explosion scenes, but the violence is emphatic.
This is like dummies pitched off a building that hit the street several
floors below. A policeman on foot fires into a car barreling toward him
and the criminals smash into his body. Again, the filmmakers use a
dummy, but everything is done with a visceral sense of urgency that
makes it exciting if not horrific. Castellari and company stage some
beautiful fireball explosions that hold your attention. Spaghetti
western star Franco Nero plays the energetic but frustrated Italian
Vice-Commissioner Belli who will never be the same after this war with
the mob. "High Crime" comes with a double-digit body count, and the
significant shootings are presented in slow-motion. A high-ranking
police official takes three bullets in his body when his back is turned
to a heavy. You'll hate the bad guys and savor their deaths by
fade-out. Although this 100-minute melodrama features a happy ending,
the toll that Belli's crusade against crime takes leaves a bitter
after-taste. One anonymous commentator at a download site has written
that "High Crime" "was largely responsible for setting off the entire
Italian crime film movement of the 70's."
"High Crime" opens with our heroic police officer arresting an elusive Lebanese drug dealer in Genoa after a careening auto chase through the city. Unfortunately, Belli doesn't keep the Lebanese in custody long before the wily criminals blow up the police car transporting his prisoner. Miraculously, Belli wasn't seated in the vehicle when it blew up and killed the Lebanese and four cops, along with a young girl playing nearby in the street. Meantime, Belli's superior, Commissioner Aldo Scavino (JamesWhitmore), wants to get adequate evidence on everybody from the bottom to the top and he is prepared to exercise patience in his battle with organized crime. Assiduously, he has compiled a dossier on mafia connections, but Belli lacks Scaviono's patience. Belli is a man of action. He consults with a former crime boss, Cafiero (Fernando Rey of "The French Connection"), who spends most of his time in his rose garden. Cafiero warns our hot-headed hero that if the mob cannot put him on ice, they will go after the people that he loves. Meanwhile, the mob ambushes Scavino as he is getting into his car in an exciting shoot-out sequence that continues when a street cop opens fire on the two killers as they flee from the scene of the crime.
"High Crime" is unforgettable.
One of the best 1970s Italian police films out there. The great Franco
Nero overacts like hell in some scenes and is excellent in others (also
has a terrible wardrobe in this one!) but who cares, you cant beat a
bit of Nero. Pretty violent ( the attack with bailing hooks at the
dockyard stands out) and its quite well plotted. Brilliant car chase at
the start and it's great to see the 60's / 70's Alpha's, Lancias etc in
these films and its certainly part of the attraction with them.
The alternative title of 'Marseiile Connection' is obviously trying to cash in on the French Connection, but it isn't very similar and is more action orientated. Overall i would say a very satisfying and enjoyable film.
"High Crime" aka "The Marseilles Connection" by Enzo G.Castellari with Franco Nero actually helped popularize the Italian cop thriller genre/poliziotteschi.The film is extremely well-acted and features plenty of brutal and bloody violence.Franco Nero plays police commissioner Belli who wants to destroy dangerous European drug ring.When gangsters kill his daughter Nero becomes an angry killing machine.I must say that I found "High Crime" utterly fascinating.It's a vicious and mean-spirited cop thriller with unforgettable moment where little girl is run over with a car.It's obvious that Franco Nero's character was an influence for Maurizio Merli's Inspector Tanzi in later poliziotteschi movies.It's a crying shame that "High Crime" is still unavailable on DVD.9 car chases out of 10.

AG Cooper won't challenge Burr
Published: Friday, May 15, 2009 at 12:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 15, 2009 at 12:40 p.m.
RALEIGH North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said he will not run for the Democratic nomination to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr in 2010.
Coopers announcement Friday eliminates what likely would have been a serious challenge to the single-term incumbent.
Cooper wrote to supporters that he wants to stay in office in Raleigh rather than contest the Senate post. He was re-elected to a third four-year term in November.
After three successful statewide campaigns, Cooper was considered to have a strong chance to unseat Burr. Former State Treasurer Richard Moore has been mentioned as a possible Democratic challenger.
U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler, the Demcorat from Waynesville who represents the mountains, said in March he would not seek the seat.
Burr is seeking re-election to his Senate seat after winning in 2004.

Fresh, housemade margaritas, not those made from a bottled mix and stale limes, cleanse palates during generously spiced meals at El Rodeo Mexican Restaurant, where owner Ismael claims they are not shy about adding some kick to each dish. But rather than overload entrees with a slew of spices, like other restaurants may be wont to do, Ismael prefers to keep it simple, refining each dish with focused flavor from authentic ingredients.
The carne asada is made with new york strip steak, rather than less-substantial skirt or flank steak, and spicy chili verde smothers lean pork in green tomatillo sauce. A house special, the carnitas throw down succulent pork that gets simmered over low heat for four hours, allowing it to steep in a top-secret blend of spices that Ismael guards more effectively than a magician guards his favorite pet shop. As diners dig in, a row of hand-painted murals stand watch, featuring images from Mexico, such as a mariachi band and burros dancing around sombreros.

A bunch of friends are stopping by today (Saturday) for a run, and whenever people pop in, particularly during savagely cold weather, I stoke the wood stoves as if they were blast furnaces, and also take extra pains to sweep up every ash and speck of sawdust.
I particularly enjoy the moment they scramble up the stairs, flapping arms and stomping feet to stay warm, and then enter what feels like a sauna.
"Whoa! Nice and toasty in here!" they exclaim, shedding parkas, hats and mittens.
That's my cue to launch into a protracted dissertation extolling the joys of heating with wood, disingenuously omitting most of the dirty little secrets.
The dust alone would discourage most people from relying on firewood – not just from the stove, but from logs hauled in from woodsheds.
I use a canvas carrier and dump my fuel into a wood box, but inevitably pieces of bark and chips spill out. I have a separate box for newspaper and kindling, which generates its own dust.
The two stoves in separate rooms stand on large slabs of slate to prevent embers from spilling onto the wood floor, but they don't deter drifting dust, particularly since I have to shovel ashes into a five-gallon galvanized bucket several times a day.
Here's my system: First, I position the bucket as close to the stove door as possible, keeping it on the slate. Then I extract a shovelful of ashes, dump it in the bucket and instantly clomp on a lid to prevent dust from spreading.
When the stoves are going full bore, 24-7, as they have been these past frigid weeks, I have to dump the ash bucket several times a week, hauling it 100 yards to a big hole I dug near the garden.
I later use the ashes either as soil conditioner for the garden or to patch potholes in my network of paths. I often use these paths for walking and cross-country skiing, but mostly they serve as logging roads and must be smooth enough for a wheelbarrow, or sled when there's snow on the ground.
Loyal readers are familiar with my wood-cutting adventures, so I won't belabor the point other than to say it seems to consume as much time and energy as if I decided to heat instead with coal and had to dig my own mine. Not that I'm complaining – cutting and splitting wood truly is a labor of love, not to mention a good upper-body workout.
So far this relentlessly bone-chilling season I've already gone through about half of one woodshed, which holds six cords (a cord measures 8x8x4 feet, or 128 cubic feet). I just finished filling the adjoining shed but hope I don't have to start burning that wood this season because I want it to dry for at least a year.
Burning green or unseasoned wood creates creosote – potentially dangerous if it builds up in a stone or brick chimney and suddenly ignites.
Our chimneys are metal stovepipes – insulated where they go through the ceiling and roof – and therefore are less inclined to experience chimney fires if you remember to bang the pipes every so often and shake the crud loose.
Creosote, which accumulates even when burning dry wood, particularly when you damp down the stove frequently, creates a separate problem for those with stovepipes: It clogs the louvers on the cap, limiting the draught.
Several times each heating season I have to climb onto the roof using a shaky ladder, remove the cap, climb down with it, poke the louvers with a screwdriver to remove crusted creosote, and then climb back up and reinstall the cap. It is without a doubt my least favorite task – but if I neglect this chore the whole house fills with smoke.
On a few occasions I've had to execute this hated ritual in the dark during snowstorms – but I've learned my lesson and now perform it prophylactically in more favorable conditions.
Finally, there's the incessant stoking, stoking, stoking. I often feel like I'm working in the boiler room of a 19th century steamship. (Full disclosure: My long-suffering, wife, Lisa, shares this chore, and because I'm more tolerant of lower temperatures she's usually the one who has to tend to the 2 a.m. "feeding.")
Through it all, though, I wouldn't have it any other way.
As anyone who comes in from the cold knows, there's no greater comfort than plopping down next to a toasty wood stove when an icy wind howls.
I'll probably be running the stove into April, and the end of the heating season coincides neatly with the start of the planting season. This spring, as in past years, I'll be planning a couple hundred seedlings to replace the trees I've cut down – an arboreal version of the circle of life.
Ooops, gotta stop writing. Time to stoke the stove.
