"The Network Works..."
Dave (BS '11, MBA '12) - 06/25/2012
Dave (BS '11, MBA '12) credits his job offer with PricewaterhouseCoopers to his interactions with a number of Kelley alumni over the course of his student days. His initial exposure to PwC was through Gretchen (BS '99, MBA '00) when she returned to campus for a Career Day, and she and Sarah Ellison (BS '04) were instrumental in his securing an internship and eventual full-time job offer with PwC. Dave feels that the continued engagement of its alumni is one of the proudest assets of the Kelley School, and he will be staying connected post-graduation and helping students now as an alum himself as a Student Career Advisor and International Expert.

Just curious.
Do you play the game in first or third person?
I've always played it in third, but when i see most youtube-recordings, they play it in first person.
I always feel that i have a better control/overview of my surroundings when in third.
I could see the problem with aiming when not using V.A.T.S, but i only experience that on some occasitions.
So, what do you do?
I thought about mixing it up. by switching to first person whenever engaging combat. But i don't know if that's a great idea?
Love the game so far.

Re: Fallout 3
There is a new Fallout game coming out this year, not a direct sequel to Fallout 3, but it takes place in the universe. Its called Fallout New Vegas, made with a lot of the crew that made the first two Fallout games.
Cant wait!

Re: Fallout 3
I love this game! I bought the goty edition and have installed all of the add-ons. I just haven't played through them yet as my new character hasn't gone very far. STO has made me neglect FO 3 and ME 2. I have to say I've only used the VATS system a handful of times. I guess I've grown away from the turn based system I used to love.

Critic and novelist David Dabydeen has described Agard's poetry as "a wonderful affirmation of life, in a language that is vital and joyous". This recording showcases the best of this verve and vibrancy, not least in those poems that mix religion and modern life with panache. In 'Coffee in Heaven', one of a number which depict the Devil as a necessary, creatively anarchic power, fresh espresso drifts up from Hell to annoy those sipping decaf in the clouds, while in 'Rainbow', even the Lord Almighty is seen strutting His stuff as a limbo dancer. But beyond these often freewheeling performance pieces, Agard is also capable of crafting metered and rhymed forms. Take 'Flag', which tersely sketches out the deadly weight of politicised symbols in its unnerving, repetitive rhyme scheme, or the series of mischievous sonnets from Agard's recent collection Clever Backbone, celebrating life's diversity in their witty exploration of Darwinian evolutionary theory.
Yet whether Agard is impassionedly 'Checking Out Me History', lambasting those educators who "tell me bout 1066 and all dat" yet ignore Caribbean heritage, or elsewhere finding 'Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Old Tie' à la Wallace Stevens ("An icon of Eton / worn even with the heat on"; "A signifying signpost / to the nearest pubic station"), his captivating Anglo-Caribbean accent always draws you in; rich, exotic and lively, weighing the worth of each word. This recording of one of poetry's most flamboyant, inimitable performers confirms Helen Dunmore's view of Agard as an "eloquent contemporary poet", whose work is "rich in literary and cultural allusion, yet as direct as a voice in the bus queue".
John Agard's recording was made on 26th November 2009 at the Audio Workshop, London and was produced by Anne Rosenfeld.

I worked at Aston Carter full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Excellent meritocratic structure, with a focus on rewarding excellence. Good salaries and benefits, with an average commission structure. Great working atmosphere with polite and well educated colleagues, and a fun environment within which to work in this pressurised industry.
Cons – Aggressive management with a favouritism towards legacy performers. Serious lack of investment in staff. No appreciation for the fact that the staff may actually be brighter than some of the management and have the potential to offer something extra - the problem when dumb people hire bright graduates and money loses its motivating edge...
Advice to Senior Management – Stop looking outside and see what you had right there in front of you. It just needed a little cultivating.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Massage-heaven on Earth in Hayes Valley – I've had fewer than 10 professional massages in my life. To me it's a very special and intimate thing, so I only take recommendations from friends on where to go to be treated. I'm pleased to share that I can happily recommend the "Repattern" treatment at EarthBody by Sheryl.
My first experience of walking inside felt like I was entering a sacred, tranquil sanctuary for the body and spirit. Sheryl is a very conscious, and gifted healer. Dana, the receptionist is as well. They really are there to serve the customer and treat you with very attentive care.
I went in with shoulders and my right forearm full of tension, and I came out with calm, relief. Everything in that space is very well thought out in terms of feng shui, lighting, temperature and atmosphere. You kind of have to prepare yourself to go back out the door onto the streets of Hayes valley. (I didn't want to leave). But when you do, you'll feel empowered and relaxed to take whatever comes your way.
There are little pockets of heaven on earth in San Francisco, and EarthBody is truly one of them.
Hours of relaxation! – I was running late, stuck in traffic for over an hour, and my neck is hard as a rock. Denmo was very understanding and didn?t give me the snutty attitude sometime you see with spas. She helped me relax and gave me many great advices about how to de-stress. Massage was great and at a reasonable price. Thumbs up!
Editorial Review – Massage therapist specializes an a variety of different treatments and can even integrate them for a distinct healing session.
Magic Hands..... – Whern I came to see Denmo, I was a wreck. Stress had taken over my life and I never thought I'd see the light of day again. But low and behold... I was wrong! Denmo is one of the most amazing women, you'll ever meet. Her aura and presence immediately calms and soothes... and her hands are a gift from the heavens! I NEVER fall asleep during massages but I actually was so relaxed that I woke up forgetting where I was! The emotional release that comes along with a session is intense... let me warn you! But I can honestly say that I am forever faithful to Denmo and Earthbody..... THEY ROCK!!! :)
Amazing massage – Denmo is fantastic! I highly recommend her. Her pre-natal massages are great. She really understands the pains associated with the pregnant body. A real find!
wonderful massage, heart of Hayes Valley, highly recommended – I cannot recommend Denmo and her services highly enough.
I went in with a laundry list of things that were going on with me, physically and emotionally, as well as what I wanted to work on in this particular session (our first). She did a very thorough intake and then proceeded to address each of the points I'd mentioned in a massage tailored to my body with it's specific ailments. She helped me breath through much of the stored body stress while continually checking in with me about how it was going for me and if I needed anything different.
In general, she is one of the most aware and present people I have ever met. She brings the whole force of her soul to bear on your problems and helping you achieve your goals for the session. She created a very warm, welcoming and safe environment for me, calling me "dear" as soon as I arrived and just being herself.
Our session was a gift that I am very grateful I was able to give myself.
(Be aware that her office is on the second floor of a commercial building and if the shops are closed the door will be locked and you'll need to wait for her to come get you.)
Best Pre-natal Massage in San Francisco – Denmo's massage work is amazing. I am 6.5 months pregnant and I searched all over for the perfect pre-natal massage, and finally found one. I highly recommend her to anyone and especially pregnant Mom's. She is very soothing and knows the perfect ways to make you relax.
Best Massage Ever!!! – Denmo has magic hands. I am a loyal regular of Denmo's for massage and bodywork. I am completely confident in her ability to heal. After a session with her, i feel connected and at peace with every part of my body. Any human being would be lucky to come in to contact with Denmo and her incredible practice.
The Best Massage Therapist this side of ...anything – If you want to be in good hands, Denmo Ibrahim is the massage therapist to work with. Her intuitive sense of what your body needs allows you to relax and enjoy. The atmosphere is serene and when you're through you know you've not only done something good for your body but for your mind and heart as well. I look forward to working with her on a regular basis.
A Real Expert! – I had a badly needed massage a few days ago with Denmo.
My experience is that a powerful massage doesn't necessarily need to hurt. I used to like really deep massages--the kind that are like bad tasting medicine you have to suffer through. But it really takes a highly skilled and intuitive massage therapist to *coax* the knots out rather than *bust* them out.
And that's what Denmo did. I told her exactly what I wanted and what needed the most work and she listened. And her vibrant, yet relaxed demeanor made me feel really comfortable.
An extra tidbit: I asked her a little about what brought her to doing massage, and it turns out she's not just one of those massage therapists who "wants to help people" or "likes to touch people". She has an advanced background in a form of theater performance that has a lot to do with movement & tension in the body. It's obvious her expertise informs her work. She's all about the body, how it moves, and where it gets stuck.
If you live or work in Hayes Valley, she is definitely the massage therapist to see. She's located in Hayes Valley acupuncture, between Gough & Franklin.

Former teacher Jonathan O'Brien convicted of "systematic" sexual abuse of pupils
2:15pm Tuesday 17th December 2013 in News By Neil Watts
A FORMER teacher has been convicted of the "systematic" sexual abuse of pupils in his care during the 1980s.
Jonathan O'Brien, aged 55, of Fairfield Road, Bosham, West Sussex, was found guilty of five charges of gross indecency and 15 counts of indecent assault after a four-week trial at Chichester Crown Court Twelve of the offences were committed against seven boys at Winterfold House School, Chaddesley Corbett, near Kidderminster, between 1980 and 1985.
The others were committed against three pupils at The Oratory School, near Reading, between 1985 and 1989.
Detective Sergeant Steve Cook, who led the investigation for North Worcestershire CID, said: "O'Brien engaged in the systematic abuse of boys over a long period of time. In doing so he also disgracefully abused the position of trust he was in and that was particularly relevant in this case as he was teaching in boarding schools where the children were away from their families and had nowhere else to go.
"He exploited their vulnerability and they did not feel at that time that they could come forward because 'it wasn't the thing to do' and that they wouldn't be believed.
"Now they are extremely relieved that this has come out into the open."
Det Sgt Cook said inquiries began in November 2012 when a man came forward to say he had been sexually abused at Winterfold School by O'Brien, who taught subjects including sports and photography there in the early 80s.
The victim informed former school friends about the investigation, which led to other victims coming forward including some who had attended the Oratory School.
Further victims, including some now living abroad, contacted the police after O'Brien was initially arrested and charged in February this year.
The trial heard the offences involved pupils who were boarding at both schools and some had taken place at O'Brien's private residence in Oxfordshire while he was teaching at the Oratory.
Det Sgt Cook added: "Hopefully today's outcome will help the victims in this case to move on with their lives and it will reassure other victims that even if offences of this nature are reported many years later we will still investigate thoroughly and bring those responsible to justice."
O'Brien had denied all the charges against him and was cleared of two further indecent assaults.
Sentencing will take place on a date to be fixed.

Your blood pressure treatment goal depends on how healthy you are.
*Although 120/80 mm Hg or lower is the ideal blood pressure goal, doctors are unsure if you need treatment (medications) to reach that level.
If you're an adult age 80 or older and your blood pressure is very high, your doctor may set a target blood pressure goal for you that's slightly higher than 140/90 mm Hg.
Changing your lifestyle can go a long way toward controlling high blood pressure. But sometimes lifestyle changes aren't enough. In addition to diet and exercise, your doctor may recommend medication to lower your blood pressure. Which category of medication your doctor prescribes depends on your stage of high blood pressure and whether you also have other medical problems.
If you're having trouble reaching your blood pressure goal with combinations of the above medications, your doctor may prescribe:
Once your blood pressure is under control, your doctor may have you take a daily aspirin to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disorders.
To reduce the number of daily medication doses you need, your doctor may prescribe a combination of low-dose medications rather than larger doses of one single drug. In fact, two or more blood pressure drugs often work better than one. Sometimes finding the most effective medication — or combination of drugs — is a matter of trial and error.
No matter what medications your doctor prescribes to treat your high blood pressure, you'll need to make lifestyle changes to lower your blood pressure. These changes usually include eating a healthier diet with less salt (the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, or DASH, diet), exercising more, quitting smoking and losing weight.
If your blood pressure remains stubbornly high despite taking at least three different types of high blood pressure drugs, one of which should be a diuretic, you may have resistant hypertension. Resistant hypertension is blood pressure that's resistant to treatment. People who have controlled high blood pressure but are taking four different types of medications at the same time to achieve that control also are considered to have resistant hypertension.
Having resistant hypertension doesn't mean your blood pressure will never get lower. In fact, if you and your doctor can identify what's behind your persistently high blood pressure, there's a good chance you can meet your goal with the help of treatment that's more effective.
Your doctor or hypertension specialist can evaluate whether the medications and doses you're taking for your high blood pressure are appropriate. You may have to fine-tune your medications to come up with the most effective combination and doses.
In addition, you and your doctor can review medications you're taking for other conditions. Some medications, foods or supplements can worsen high blood pressure or prevent your high blood pressure medications from working effectively. Be open and honest with your doctor about all the medications or supplements you take.
If you don't take your high blood pressure medications exactly as directed, your blood pressure can pay the price. If you skip doses because you can't afford the medication, because you have side effects or because you simply forget to take your medications, talk to your doctor about solutions. Don't change your treatment without your doctor's guidance.

Library news and happenings.
A report on The State of America's Libraries was recently released by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project. There are some interesting and affirming statistics and commentary for public library use.
To share a few:
• 95% of respondents said public libraries are important because they promote literacy and a love of reading while 94% said having a public library improves the quality of life in a community
• More than half have used a public library within the past year
• 72% consider they live in what is considered a "library household"
• 70% report that a child from their household has visited a public library in the past year. Of course we are always working hard to increase that number
• And a fun one:
"….public libraries not only rank more highly in the American psyche than Congress, journalists, and President Obama, but they also trump baseball and apple pie. Public Libraries are more beloved than apple pie."
We hope you too value public libraries – come visit soon.
This is National Library Week. We join with libraries, schools, bookstores, and publishers in celebrating this week to highlight the value of libraries. This year's theme is "Lives change @ your library."
In the mid 1950s, research showed that Americans were spending less time with books and more times with radios, TV, and musical instruments. Concerned we were reading less, publishers formed a National Book Committee. In 1957, they developed a plan for National Library Week. The first celebration was held in 1958 with the theme "wake up and read." The celebration continues.
Each day of the week now has a focus. Tuesday is National Library Workers Day, Thursday is Celebrate Teen Literature Day. A relatively new aspect of the week is Library Snapshot Day. We'll be taking photos all day Tuesday to show "a day in the life of the library." Look for photos on our website.
Celebrate National Library Week with us and visit one of our five locations or through our website. Much has changed in society and in libraries since the first celebration, but we still provide a wealth of information and a wide variety of services with staff to help.
E-books and reading on phones, tablets, and computers has transformed reading. As one author has said, the "sweet spot" was hit. The devices are generally big enough for detailed, legible type, but small enough to be carried in a pocket or backpack or just in your hand.
Another reading revolution occurred just 75 years ago….the "pocket book." Small books, about 4 by 6 inches and priced at 25¢ were introduced. Their introduction into the market changed who could read and where; books were also more readily available for purchase….not just in the few bookstores in big cities, but grocery and drug stores and even airports. Within just two years, 17 million books in this new format had been sold.
Not surprisingly, the biggest sellers were mysteries, westerns, and "thinly veiled smut" or a "flood of trash" as critics labeled it. This small format launched gritty detective stories and science fiction.
The paperback format changed the reading habits of the nation, much like the introduction of e-books. The choices are many; I'm pleased we can offer good reading in all formats…hardcovers, paperbacks, and e-books.
Visit Central, one of our four branches, or our website for reading suggestions and format options.
A few months ago, I wrote here about one of our newest programs for very young children, 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. It was also featured in the March – May issue of LINK, our quarterly newsletter.
Since we launched this program, several people from around the community have commented to me that 1,000 is sure a lot of books; they wonder if it is reasonable. In most cases, their children are grown. As the conversation continues and they remember reading to their children at bedtime, remember reading several books a night, they then realize 1,000 books is indeed reasonable.
With bedtime in mind as a frequent time to read to your children, I recently saw a list of "twenty benefits of bedtime stories." Reading to young children can make a profound difference in the lives of children as books are shared as part of a regular bedtime routine.
Here are just a few of the reminders of the importance and benefits:
Read to your children, encourage parents and caregivers you know to read to theirs. The benefits to parent and child are immeasurable.
The image of librarians is that we are more about words than numbers. I guess that's true but there are two "number" sections on our website I think you will find interesting.
We've just added library use statistics to our website. Circulation of books, music, movies, and digital products are tracked by location….central and each branch….along with program attendance and computer use. There are numbers and graphs.
The value calculator is not new to our website although it hasn't been highlighted recently. It is an interesting way to appreciate the value of the library services you use.
I'd welcome your comments on either of these.
From time to time, we would hear that patrons preferred more lead time on events and would like to see all summer programs at one time, as well as spring and winter break, so they could plan ahead. We also wanted to make LINK more of a newsletter and not just a program guide by sharing library information including new services, book, movie and music reviews, and more. We are excited to share with you……the new LINK.
By now, you probably received your copy of LINK at home and hopefully noticed it is now a quarterly publication, not bimonthly. The March, April, May issue includes not only program information but with more pages, also articles about new services, book suggestions, and more information from our Friends.
We hope you like this new format and frequency.
I often use this space to promote one of our services or to highlight something on our website. This week I am doing both, namely our ebook collection available through our website.
A Pew Research Center survey issued in the fall found that the number of Americans age 16 and older who own a tablet computer has grown to 35% and those who have an ereader such as a Kindle or Nook has grown to 24%. Overall those with a tablet or an ereader device now stands at 43% and more than 50% in households earning $75,000 or more.
Ebooks are available to KPL cardholders through our website. Not every publisher makes their new ebooks available to libraries so not every bestseller you might want to read is on the site. Many are however and they can be checked out on your device for up to three weeks.
Ebooks are just one of our digital services. Audiobooks, music, movies, magazines are available also.
Visit soon…..digitally or at one of our five locations.
When some library directors were asked that question, the response from many was "the rapid pace of change!" I'd add to that, especially changes in technology.
It's hard to keep up knowledge-wise, let alone have the financial resources to implement it in the library.
Some interesting numbers that make the point:
2003: 43.7 million websites2013: 785.3 million websites
2003: 650 million cell phones2013: 1.8 billion cell phones, including 1 billion smartphones
2003: 280,590 available ebook titles2013: 4.1 million available ebook titles
2003: 8.8 million global mobile broadband users2013: 2.1 billion global mobile broadband users
I'm not sure it does any good to lose sleep over this! What keeps you awake at night?
Our #1 priority is service to young children, birth to five, to prepare them to enter school ready to learn. We have several new services to support these youngest patrons as well as their older siblings.
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten…. it sounds like a tremendous number but if you think about five years, a few books each night before bed, it is quite doable. Daily reading and regular library visits are great preparation for school.
We are distributing the Kalamazoo Early Learning 2014 Calendar. Paper copies are available at all library locations as well as our website. Each of the 365 days has an activity…. January 27: Talk about different materials: paper, cloth, wood, metal, etc. March 12: start each day at the window and talk about the weather.
Ebooks for children are now available through our website. Some parents want to introduce their young children to technology, others do not. Picture books on an iPad won't replace the print picture book experience, but can be a nice complement.
We've made some changes in the children's room at Central. Some materials have been relocated for ease in use, but the biggest change is The Story Place, an activity room with fun toys where families can stay and play on their library visit. We will also use the room for storytimes and other programs for young children.
Even if you don't have young children in your home, I hope you will visit our new room and read more about these new services on our website. Share them with children and parents you know.
The Friends of KPL will hold their first Bag-of-Books Sale of the year on Saturday, January 25, at the Central Library. The sale begins at 9 am when the library opens and will end at 3:30 pm. Books are 10¢ each or $2.00 for a grocery bag full. Just like a library, books are arranged by categories including fiction, nonfiction, mystery, science fiction, among others... ...they aren't in alphabetical order by author though!
The sale will be in the auditorium; the Friends Bookstore on the lower level will also be open, so shop both places for inexpensive winter reading.
Of course while you are at the library, browse the shelves for a book or movie to borrow. You need your library card for that, money not needed.
We are good partners…. the Friends of KPL and KPL.

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Somers Plating Inc.
The site consists of about 3.6 acres of land with two unoccupied one-story buildings in a mixed residential/commercial neighborhood. The site was formerly operated as a metal workshop/plating facility, a gasoline station, an ecumenical school, and a daycare center. Two unknown former metal hydroxide sludge lagoons associated with the plating operation are onsite. Underground storage tanks reportedly used by the gasoline station were removed.
In July 2004, EPA investigated the site and then did a cleanup. A total of 17,167 gallons of contaminated water was treated. From Sept. 27 to Dec. 7, 2005, 3,639 tons of contaminated soil with cadmium concentrations greater than 100 ppm was shipped off site and 5,126 tons of contaminated soil with cadmium concentration less than 100 ppm was shipped to a different facility for disposal. The wetlands and other part of the site disturbed by the cleanup were restored.
Location: 58-60 Springfield Road, Somers, CT

Bochum is basically the best brand for coffee and tea mugs out there. I love how nice they look and the quality is just fantastic.
I like my mug for what I payed for it, but it is not the best mug I have ever had, although i love the look of it!
I love drinking my coffee out of this mug every morning. It's lightweight enough to carry around the house with me but thick enough that it doesn't scald my hands. It's also fun to watch the creamer swirl with the coffee.
I love this mug-- the look the heat trapping function. It is a little on the small side though and doesn't seem to hold quite a full cup of coffee.
I bought this mug because it was different compared to most. I love the simple clean look. It is not heavy, nor does it feel cheap. I purchased this with a box of tea for a gift.
I'd been looking for a cute clear mug (that wasn't $20/mug!) for years, and decided to buy two of these with my BB points. In true Birchbox fashion, they arrive quickly and in one piece, and I'm still thrilled with my purchase several months later. These mugs hold up very well, keep my coffee, tea, and hot chocolate very warm, and rinse back to crystal clear after being cleaned. Great purchase!
This mug is much little than what I envisioned it to be. It did keep my coffee hot and I enjoyed being able to actually see how much I had left as opposed to when I use a travel mug. It seems to be made well also.

The HbA1c test, also known as the hemoglobin A1c or the glycosylated hemoglobin test, is a routine dietary screening for people with diabetes. It provides an average blood glucose measurement (the average amount of sugar in your blood) over the past six to 12 weeks and is used with home glucose monitoring to make treatment adjustments.
Diabetes results from a failure to produce enough insulin to process sugar (glucose) in the blood. Insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, helps transfer glucose from the blood into the cells. If the body does not produce enough insulin to move the sugar into the cells, the resulting high levels of sugar in the blood and the inadequate amount of sugar in the cells together produce the symptoms and complications of diabetes.
Diabetes damages the small blood vessels, leading to blindness, kidney disease and nerve damage. It also speeds up the hardening and narrowing of large blood vessels (known as atherosclerosis), leading to strokes and coronary heart disease. In general, the higher your HbA1c, the higher the risk that you will develop problems such as eye disease, heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage and stroke.
The normal range for the HbA1c test is between 4 and 6 percent for people who do not have diabetes. The ideal range for people with diabetes is generally less than 7 percent. Two separate A1c tests at 6.5 percent denote a positive diagnosis for diabetes.
People with diabetes who are treated with insulin should have the HbA1c test every three months. The test may be needed more frequently when your diabetes is not well controlled. The test, however, should be performed no more often than every six weeks. Those who are not treated with insulin should have this test every four to six months.
The test can measure the amount of glucose in the blood over the previous 60 to 90 days because some of the glucose binds irreversibly to hemoglobin within red blood cells. Red blood cells live for about 90 days. Thus the amount of glucose that is bound to hemoglobin is directly related to the amount of glucose in the blood in the past 90 days.
The HbA1c test requires no special preparation.
If you have diabetes or are concerned that you might have this disease, you can have an HBA1c test for $30 at the Northern Nevada Medical Center health fair on July 5 from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. Visit the first floor of NNMC at 2375 E. Prater Way in Sparks.
Northern Nevada Medical Center holds these health fairs on the first Thursday of every month. You can receive free blood pressure and body fat screenings; a lipid profile including cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL/LDL ratio; PSA prostate cancer testing and other screenings. A physician or a nurse or both will be available to answer your questions.
For more information, visit www.nnmc.com and click on the link for "Community Events."
John Miceli is the director of ancillary service at Northern Nevada Medical Center. Miceli has extensive experience working in the area of cardiac catheterization and oversees the Accredited Chest Pain Center at NNMC. Miceli holds advanced licensure in cardiovascular technology as well as radiological health.

This ring set is beyond gorgeous. I saw it on the site a few weeks ago but hesitated because i never bought jewelry online before and wasnt sure how the quality of the stones would be. I decided to get it and I have never made a better decision in my life.
It's a great ring. It's smaller than I expected it to be, but I love it. The only real issue I have is that the two stones surrounding the black diamond are very discolored. They look very dirty, a yellowish brown. I have small hands so the small ring size looks natural on me, but just keep in mind it is very tiny.
I recently got married and there was an issue where my fingers are very skinny and my size wasnt found for my wedding band, I saw this ring and I fell in love and loved the fact that they had it in my size which is a 5. when they arrived I was so happy it was just like in the picture, the quality is excellent. everyone gives me compliments on it, because its so nice and simple but yet so elegant.
I read many other reviews that state the ring is very small compared to the pictures. While the ring dimentions are given it does not state that that is the size of both the rings stacked together not each of them seperate.Having ordered a size 9.5 I am very pleased with this ring
For what I paid, it's a very nice ring. And it's small, just as the picture of the woman's hand made it appear to be. That's what I was looking for, something that wouldn't snag onto things. Black diamond center stone was mistaken for an onyx... that was a little upsetting. But still, I'm quite satisfied with my purchase.
I have been looking for a simple but eye catching engagement ring. This is perfect. When I open box I thought it was small in the Wow factor but as I continue to wear it I get more complements and have been told how eye catching it is. Love it!
I got this ring as an engagement ring... I really like it. While I will admit that the bands are thin, they are perfect for someone like me, who has small hands and skinny fingers. I also noticed that the diamonds on either side of the black stone are quite cloudy and they don't really look "real", however, it still is a very nice ring and I am happy to show it off as my official engagement ring.
I was very pleased with my rings. I couldn't be happier with something I've ordered online. I recieved them quickly.
I really like this ring in the picture and was dissapointed when it came with no black diamond. I had also ordered a size 6.5, was sent a size 6 and it was too big! Thankfully I am able to send it back, without paying the shipping charges and I will try again. I hope that the next one that I order will have the black diamond and be the right size.
I purchased this ring set for my wedding. The online picture made it look so beautiful (and a lot bigger). I was disappointed to see how thin the bands were and that it looked nothing like the picture. There was also no sparke to the diamonds. I am going to return this product.

You like Usenet..
This is only ps3gen.exe. This is the full archive (ps3gen/ps3cmd/ps3sys): http://www.zshare.net/download/77971515aedd85ac
Sorry i looked the another archive and is equal than mine! It's only an alternative download link.
For collectors, it appears the 3.41 SDK is beginning to make its rounds on IRC via someone named "foobar" according to this pastebin cache from earlier today.
If anyone runs across it, let us know as that would be a newsworthy leak.
I have been looking for it all day with no luck what so ever =(
So it's not the the "usual" places

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These looked beautiful! My only comment would be that the text size on the back was small and hard to read. Definitely make the text as big as possible."
"I took quite some time looking at many sites and by far Wedding Paper Divas surpassed all other sites with both user friendly choices and alternate options for editing. This specific Save The Date was great! I lived the style and the product shipped so quick! The picture was very clear and the text was also classic and clean. This product was set up great for mail by postcard. No items were covered by the postal service barcode or sticker. (Something to look out for!)"
"The paper and printing of the postcard is better from what I imagine it. It surpassed my expectations. The shipping was very fast, and usually shippings to Puerto Rico take longer. The design is just what we wanted and the website is very user friendly in helping you making your card. Thank you so much!"
"I absolutely LOVE these save the dates. Awesome layout, easy to design, quick delivery. I would definitely recommend these save the dates. Plus you save on postage since postcards are cheaper to send :)"
"Since we are getting married in a rustic barn I spent months searching for the perfect save the date with no luck. The chalkboard design was exactly what we were looking for and the final product came out better than we ever could have expected. I highly recommend this design."

In an exclusive interview in the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone, Billie Joe Armstrong opens up about his years of alcohol and prescription drug abuse and his road back from his onstage meltdown at the iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas last September.
500 Greatest Albums of All Time: Green Day's 'American Idiot'
"I couldn't predict where I was going to end up at the end of the night," he tells Rolling Stone senior writer David Fricke. "I'd wake up in a strange house on a couch. I wouldn't remember how. It was a complete blackout." He finally confronted his problem after the Vegas radio festival, where the frontman smashed his guitar onstage and shouted, "I'm not f--king Justin Bieber, you motherf--kers." Armstrong's recovery sidetracked promotion of Green Day's album trilogy ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!, and the group was forced to postpone tour dates.
"I remember tiny things," Armstrong says of the Vegas incident. "The next morning, I woke up. I asked [my wife] Adrienne, "How bad was it?" She said, "It's bad." I called my manager. He said, "You're getting on a plane, going back to Oakland and going into rehab immediately."
100 Best Albums of the Nineties
With Armstrong back, Green Day will hit the road again next month for a trio of club dates, an appearance at SXSW and their official tour resuming on March 28th. "Sometimes I'm not sure I'm ready," Armstrong admits. "There is still the obsession for alcohol. There's also sleepless nights. But I have to work on it every day. Because I know what goes on there. I'm hosting this giant party for people. At least 70-75 percent of the people in the audience have been getting their drink on. I've got to watch my step."
"I want to put on good shows," he declares. "I want to be reliable. And we plan on being reliable."

Though the menu changes daily, I've had a wonderful duck confit and jumbo scallops. The pastas are always good, with interesting sauces. The flavour and freshness of the produce shines through in the way the dishes are prepared. I thought the prices were very reasonable, even the wines were not marked up too high.
This is located in a villa north of the Inner Harbour, and a close walk from nearby Antique Row on Upper Fort Street.

To make matters worse, this time it counts. Gagne's blown save handed the home-field advantage for the World Series to the AL.
"I hope I'll be the one in there (in the World Series), and I'll be with the Dodgers in there," said Gagne, who made his second All-Star Game appearance. "Then I can get my stuff back and go out there and redeem myself."
"It's an All-Star Game," Gagne said. "You don't want to go out there and walk people. You want to challenge people, and that's what I tried to do. I mean, I tried to pitch my game and I got hit."
"I was trying to hit a single," Blalock said. "That's all I was trying to do. Fortunately, I worked myself into a good count where I could get something to hit."
The game never made it to Smoltz.
"I thought he (Gagne) had good stuff, but he threw a lot of balls in the middle of the plate," said Lo Duca, who was in the game when Gagne was pitching. "He told me he couldn't get comfortable.
"I think that's probably the most runs he will give up the rest of the year. That's one of those things."
Wagner gave up a home run to right-center field to the New York Yankees' Jason Giambi in the seventh.
Gagne worked Boston's Nomar Garciapara into a grounder to open the AL eighth. All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Garret Anderson of Anaheim, who had knocked a two-run homer and a double earlier in the game, doubled to right-center with one out. Gagne got Carl Everett to ground to first to move pinch runner Melvin Mora to third.
Then Blalock made the night truly an unusual one. Gagne had 83 saves in 87
opportunities since becoming a closer for Los Angeles at the beginning of last
"I've never seen Gagne get hit like that," said NL manager Dusty Baker.

Lauren Cartoon 7: Spiderman With The Button Eyes

Three years ago, when we were burying my uncle, Cleaver and some gross lady dog (Solstice???) showed up at the cemetery and starting going at it really loudly. It ruined everything and we had to have a "re-do" the next day and it cost a fortune. I've hated him ever since for that.

She has released the single, Last Dollar Saloon. "'Last Dollar Saloon' is a song that I began writing while on the road with a band in Austin, Texas," she recalls. "We were playing at Poodie Locke's Hilltop Roadhouse, and when we got to the club, there was Poodie, wearing a Last Dollar Saloon T-shirt from Telluride! Poodie was Willie Nelson's stage manager for quite a long time, so I talked to him for a bit, and he said he knew Catfish from Telluride, and that he loved the town.
"I decided then and there that it was just too cool, I had to write a song about it. Years later, I have finally recorded the song, and have now released it as the first single from the new album."
Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Thoreson now lives in the Iowa Great Lakes area, but, she said, "Telluride is still part of the tapestry of my life. I think this song reflects that sentiment."
Last Dollar Saloon is available at http://rebeccalynnthoreson.com/.

This Brown Bear repeatedly picks up barnacle-encrusted rocks in shallow water, manipulated and re-oriented them in its forepaws, and used them to rub its neck and muzzle, as highlighted in Dr. Volker Deecke's study, titled "Tool-use in the Brown Bear."

According to Dr. Volker Deecke's study, the bear probably used the barnacle-encrusted rocks to relieve irritated skin or to remove food-remains from the fur.
