Off Day Topic 1:
Twins in the AFL
(The Word Press page for this article can be found here)
I would guess that in the next couple of weeks, the Twins will announce which players in their organization will be going to the Arizona Fall League. Each team is allowed six players to go. Generally, it is three pitchers and three position players. Those players can not be from a country that has Winter Ball. So that takes out players from Mexico, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. Last year, Puerto Rico did not have a league. I don't know if they will this year. Also, those players must be in AA or AAA or could have a little time in the big leagues. Sometimes a guy can participate part-time if he is from a A level team.
With that in mind, I am curious which Twins minor leaguers you think should go to the AFL this fall. Here are my choices:
Danny Valencia - 3B (New Britain)
Luke Hughes - 3B (Rochester)
Steve Tolleson - MI/OF (New Britain)
Jeff Manship - SP (New Britain)
Rob Delaney - RP (New Britain)
Kevin Mulvey - SP (Rochester)
You could make a strong argument for Brian Dinkelman, although I am guessing they will want to clean out the bone chips in his elbow right away. I would like to see Dustin Martin recognized for a very solid season. It is possible that the Twins could add a catcher. Drew Butera went last year and did alright. He could go again, or Jeff Christy could go this time. You could make a good argument for Trevor Plouffe, to continue to work on playing all three infield positions. Maybe the Twins promote Anthony Slama to AA and let him pitch in the AFL.
What are your thoughts on what they will do, or equally, what would you do?

A Master Thermostat with a Dual Voltage Power Module is required for all floor heating system installations utilizing more than 240 square feet of floor heating product when operating on a 240-volt circuit. Use also when operating a floor heating system on a 120-volt circuit with more than 120 square feet of floor heating product.
Here's how it works:
Each Master Thermostat requires a minimum of one Dual Voltage Power Module. Each additional Power Module provides an additional 15AMPS of service and up to 10 Power Modules can be added to each Master Thermostat.
I installed my Warmly Yours electric heated floor in my kitchen approximately 7 years ago. Approximately 2 years after I installed it the 15 amp thermostat burned out. Warmly Yours promptly provided me with a replacement thermostat at no cost. About 2 years later the second thermostat burned o...

Damn it sure has been awhile since I posted. I had an urge to make a new sketchbook, I need a place to get feedback and just play around, which I haven't done at all lately. I also want to get more focused in my efforts, So I thought I would place a list of goals at the beginning of the thread, don't read it if you don't want to, it's really just to try to keep myself on track and improve, and remind myself of what I need to get accomplished:
Thoroughly learn and apply perspective and constuctive drawing <biggest problem with draftmanship>
Remember to have fun when drawing, and balance serious studies with work done for personal enjoyment
Train memory <major goal>
Complete more finished works, i.e, pieces with thought put into composition and conception and brought to a fuller realization than sketches
Continue studies from life, drawing and painting, and studying compositions and painting techniques of masters.
Learn to draw people WEARING CLOTHES. I have almost no knowledge of clothing and costume and this is something I must work on.
I guess I could go on and on with all that, maybe I'll make the rest of the list somewhere else. Here are some things I've done recently:
You paint landscapes a lot like a friend of mine does, mark-wise. His color's fecking ridiculous, but still, very cool using those wide rectangular strokes. Sketches look very cool, very fluid - love the woman with the snake. The painting of the woman I'm assuming's a bobble-head or something? I hope so, otherwise I dunno where you got those proportions. Nice colors - I'd only really suggest re-aligning those eyes. Keep posting, man.
Hey Dan, its good to see you posting again, i enjoy your stuff. Illtry and keep you posted on any advice i can conjure up, despite the fact i really dig most of your stuff.
Keep posting, ill be back soon!
As you can see we've made a few mods to the group... glad to have you back MY MAN!!!
YEAH, there you go again, finally!! Great to see you posting again, mate!
It'S pretty cool that you established some special goals for you, I did something similar to rhat a few weeks ago! These landscapes look pretty cool although it would be nice to go into detail with them. I really think your landscapes would be way cooler that way since you have real good sense for color. These portraits look good as well, keep goin, mate!

Thanks for the replies, I gotta go check out what kind of work you guys have been doing... so much to catch up on. Here's a little update. I gotta get back to doing some concept work and try to do something creative, I figured I'd have a go practicing with silhouette thumbnails.
The eyes on this really bug me
Sorry about the bad scan on this one
Shoot man, I think you needed that time away. This stuff shows alot more fluidity, I always thought your drawings, even from life, looked pretty stiff. The last old dude one looks really nice, and shows a TON of competence, as do the SP's. They reveal alot more form than previously.
great to see you again !!
awesome improvement , your sketches are very accuracy and very loose
Your SPs are really nice!
Very cool sketches! I like the fat lady in your last picture. Very nice volume, I have a hard time drawings larger people
Jeez I gotta update more often... comments = appreciated! Must... get out of... comfort zone... I'm starting to do thumbnails alot lately, just to have fun working out designs and not worry about everything looking correct.
I started going through "Fun with a pencil", and what do ya know? It's fun.
Sketches from life
=) You know I like that shtuff.
Keep trucking man.
Awesome man. You get so much form in your stuff.
I need to work as hard as you..
No Profie baby, you gotta work harder than him! He has to work harder than him... I gotta work harder than him... don't settle for "just as", go beyond!!! =)
I'll be awaiting your update, young jedi.

The Bigger Picture: Visual Archives and the Smithsonian
Found: Two People in the Flickr Commons!
In celebration of 5 years of the Flickr Commons, peruse a set of the most popular photographs on Flickr to date.
Today marks five years of the Flickr Commons, an online space for cultural heritage institutions to post historic photographs, and other images, with the "no known copyright restrictions" terms. Library of Congress was the first to make their mark on the Commons. We follwed 6 months later in June 2008. It's been immensely satisfying to get to know visitors, see what they dig up about our collections, and after 5 years, observe the dedication people show in helping us do some of the work we frankly don't have time and/or resources to get to. Specifically, two recent comments helped us identify faces in our collections.
The first identification happened in September 2012, nearly a year after we uploaded a picture of Agnes Mary Claypole Moody. A timely comment from Flickr user, Elliot20122012, gave us evidence supporting previous comments made pointing to Moody. It turns out Elliot20122012 had been in touch with a descendant of Clarypole Moody's, Kate Moody, who sent Elliot20122012 a photo of the Claypole sisters in 1898. Elliot20122012 shared the photo with us and alas, a match was made.
Agnes Mary Claypole Moody (1870-1954), was a zoologist and professor of natural science, and Edith Jane Claypole (1870-1915) was also a biologist. According to Caltech's website, when the California Institute of Technology was known as the Throop University vocational school in 1898, Edward Waller Claypole was their geology and biology instructor. He had twin daughters, Agnes and Edith, who earned their Masters of Science; Edith in 1893 with a thesis on the blood cells of amphibians and Agnes in 1894 with a thesis on the digestive tract of eels. In 1898, Agnes Mary Claypole wrote a book called, "The embryology and oögenesis of Anurida maritime" (Anurida maritima is a wingless animal found in water).
When Edward Waller Claypole died in 1901, both daughters were hired on at Throop University to teach in his place. In 1903-4, Agnes M. Claypole was Professor of Natural Science and Curator, the first female biology professor at Throop. After a year on the job, she married Robert O. Moody, and moved to northern California where she later joined the faculty at Mills College.
The second identification happened just the end of last week. We had posted a set of images from the Scopes "Monkey Trial" in January, 2010. We knew the identity of the man on the right to be William Silverman, the father of the donor of the collection, Henrietta Jenrette. However, we didn't know the name of his teacher who had accompanied him to the trial.
Jenrette contacted us after finding his photograph in the 1925 and 1922 Chattanooga Hight School yearbooks with a match. There's no mistaking the face of Creed F. Bates, Jr., aka "the living Dynamo of Chattanooga High School," as the senior class of 1925 affectionately called him.
Jenrette commented, "Isn't the Internet wonderful?" Actually, we think the people who give their time to helping us learn about our collections are wonderful. It is satisfying to see an unidentified person become a complete composition with a history and a name. This is the power of the crowd, and we thank you!

Huzzah! Hi, Effie, and congratulations on helping reach this amazing milestone! The Commons wouldn't be where it is today without you, in particular, and that place you work at. :)
I spend a lot of time on Flickr so it kind of blows me away that I had never heard of Flickr Commons. I'm a big history buff and love collecting historic photos, so this has been a great discovery for me. Got to love the internet....finding and learning new stuff every day :)
These IDs are exactly the reason the Flickr Commons is so awesome! Great stories.
It is fascinating to me looking at these archived pictures to think about how much picture technology has changed in a short time. The pictures on this blog post were staged, and probably involved a photographer taking a lot of time to set up. Today everyone is carrying a camera, and people no longer worry about whether or not they took a good shot because they simply can take 5-10 pictures and delete the ones they don't like. In fact my daughter who is now 4 was playing with a film camera the other day and couldn't understand why she couldn't see the picture she took immediately.
George, Good to hear from you, and yes, a lot of credit goes to the folks here at the Archives and their willingness to share and take the opinions of others. Wayne, welcome to the Commons! Enjoy and leave comments. Catherine, thanks for your help while you were here in keeping our participation lively. Ryan,I see the pluses to both times. And having a 1 year old myself, it's quite amazing what their minds get used it!
Great demonstration of how social media can be used for good, rather than the constant stream of bad press it seams to get.
The Commons provides glimpses into the past. It is awesome! As a hobbyist photographer, I have uploaded my share of pictures to The Commons.
Great article, and great Favorites collection. I can watch it for hours.
Thank you!

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In testimony before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development today, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Administrator Thomas D'Agostino outlined President Obama's FY 2013 budget request, which gives NNSA the resources it needs to achieve the President's nuclear security objectives, shape the future of nuclear security, and continuously improve the way it does business.
Administrator D'Agostino was joined by Anne Harrington, Deputy Administrator for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation, and Admiral Kirkland H. Donald, Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors. Submitted to Congress earlier this month, the President's request includes $11.5 billion for NNSA, an increase of $536 million over the FY 12 appropriation. It includes $7.58 billion for NNSA's defense programs, $2.46 billion for its nuclear nonproliferation program and $1.1 billion for NNSA's naval reactors program.
The following are excerpts of Administrator D'Agostino's opening remarks as prepared for delivery during this morning's hearing. Full testimony is available online here [1].
- ON THE PRESIDENT'S FY 2013 BUDGET REQUEST: "In April 2009 in Prague, President Obama shared his vision for a world without nuclear weapons, free from the threat of nuclear terrorism, and united in our approach toward shared nuclear security goals. The President's FY 13 request for NNSA is $11.5 billion, an increase of $536 million, or 4.9%, over the FY 12 appropriation. The request reaffirms the national commitment to his vision, applying world-class science that addresses our nation's greatest nuclear security challenges and building NNSA's 21st century nuclear security enterprise through key investments in our people and infrastructure, including the revitalization of our existing facilities."
- ON NNSA'S DEFENSE NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION BUDGET REQUEST: "The Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation budget request provides the $2.46 billion to continue these and other critical nonproliferation and nuclear security efforts. Our continued focus on innovative and ambitious nonproliferation and nuclear security efforts is vital. The threat is not gone, and the consequences of nuclear terrorism and state proliferation would be devastating. Detonation of a nuclear device anywhere in the world would lead to significant loss of life, and overwhelming economic, political, and psychological consequences. We must remain committed to reducing the risk of nuclear terrorism and state-based proliferation."
- ON NNSA'S RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, TRADE SUPPORT: "We will continue to research and develop tools and technologies to detect the proliferation of nuclear materials as well as nuclear detonations. We will provide technical support and leadership to our interagency colleagues during the negotiation and implementation of arms control treaties, as we did with NEW START. We will expand on our ongoing efforts to strengthen the capabilities of our foreign partners to implement international nonproliferation and nuclear security norms, and support the critically important work of the International Atomic Energy Agency. We will continue to play a supporting role in the negotiation of Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation Agreements – so-called 123 Agreements – which are so crucial for achieving our nuclear nonproliferation and trade objectives."
- ON NNSA'S FISSILE MATERIAL DISPOSITION PROGRAM: "The President's FY 13 budget request also keeps focus on our commitment to eliminate U.S. excess weapons materials and supports the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility and Waste Solidification Building at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The $569.5 million committed to the MOX and related activities this year will lead to the permanent elimination of enough plutonium for at least 8,500 nuclear weapons, which will be matched by similar commitments by the Russian Federation. We have eliminated the line item for a Pit Disassembly and Conversion Facility for the MOX program, opting instead for a preferred alternative approach to producing feedstock that is much less costly by utilizing existing facilities at the Savannah River Site and Los Alamos National Laboratory."
- ON NNSA'S NAVAL NUCLEAR REACTORS BUDGET REQUEST: "NNSA's Naval Reactors program directly supports all aspects of the U.S. Navy's nuclear fleet, which encompasses the Navy's submarines and aircraft carriers, over 40 percent of the U.S. Navy's major combatants. Currently, the nuclear fleet is composed of 54 attack submarines, 14 ballistic missile submarines, 4 guided missile submarines, and 11 aircraft carriers. Over 8,300 nuclear-trained Navy personnel safely operate the propulsion plants on these ships all over the world, and their consistent forward presence protects our national interests. Our $1.1 billion FY 13 request will support the refueling overhaul for the S8G Land-Based Prototype reactor, the design of the OHIO replacement reactor plant, and recapitalization of our naval spent nuclear fuel infrastructure."
Follow NNSA News on our Blog [2] and on Facebook [3], Twitter [4], Tumblr [5], YouTube [6], and Flickr [7].
Established by Congress in 2000, NNSA is a semi-autonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy responsible for enhancing national security through the military application of nuclear science. NNSA maintains and enhances the safety, security, reliability and performance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without nuclear testing; works to reduce global danger from weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy with safe and effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the U.S. and abroad.

The Delphi NAV300 sports a design that's slightly revamped over its predecessor's. The overall shape is the same, but it's slightly more narrow and heavier at 4.6 inches wide by 3.1 inches tall by 1.1 inches deep and 7.6 ounces, compared to NAV200's 5.3 by 3.2 by 1 inches and 6.7 ounces. The system also retains the flip-up patch antenna on the back, rather than integrating the receiver into the device. We much prefer the latter, since it looks neater and you don't have to worry about lifting the antenna every time, but it's certainly not a deal-breaker. The Delphi NAV300 is still a compact and ultraportable unit, so you should have no problems transporting it between vehicles.
On front of the device, you have a 3.5-inch, 320x240-pixel-resolution touch screen. The display has an antiglare coating, but we found that the map colors slightly washed out when viewing in bright sunlight. The touch screen is responsive, but once again, we found the virtual keyboard to be rather cramped. And while Delphi includes a stylus in the box, there is nowhere to stow it in on the device itself--a big pain that guarantees you'll misplace the stylus at some point. The NAV200 had a stylus holder, so we're not sure why the company decided to omit it this time.
Surrounding the display, there are four navigation controls. To the left, there are shortcuts to the main menu and Bluetooth settings page, while on the right, you have zoom-in and -out keys. The left spine of the Delphi NAV300 includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, an external mic port, and the power button. Other design features include a volume dial, a TMS-RDS traffic receiver jack, and the power connector on the right side, and an SD expansion slot on the bottom of the unit.
Delphi packages the NAV300 with a car charger, a vehicle mount (windshield and dash), a stylus, an SD card preloaded with maps, and reference material.
The overall navigation and multimedia features of the Delphi NAV300 remain the same as those of its predecessor, so we won't go into too much detail here (you can read more about the other capabilities in our Delphi NAV200 review). Instead, we'll focus more on the new features that the company has added to the product.
For route guidance, you get Navteq maps of the United States and Canada preloaded on the included SD card; you can get directions by entering a specific street address, an intersection, a point on a map, or a location on your Favorites or Recent Destinations list. The system can create itineraries by the fastest or shortest route; with or without interstates and toll roads; and in vehicle, pedestrian, or bicycle mode. Once you have a trip entered, you can review a list of turn-by-turn directions, and much to our delight, Delphi has added text-to-speech functionality to the NAV300, so you get actual street names with voice prompts.

Coil design for air conditioning solutions
Trane has added a rugged microchannel aluminum coil construction to its HVAC units.
Packaged air conditioning solutions from Trane feature a rugged microchannel aluminum coil construction to increase reliability and sustainability. The more robust microchannel coil replaces copper and aluminum tube-and-fin condenser coils. The microchannel coils reduce refrigerant charge by as much as 50%, creating a healthier and greener environment. The designs also leverage reusable packaging in the manufacturing process to reduce landfill waste. Trane packaged air conditioning solutions featuring the microchannel coil include the Voyager II (12.5 to 25 tons), Voyager Commercial (27 to 50 tons), and the IntelliPak line (20 to 75 tons). Additional large rooftop platforms will follow later this year. The high-efficiency Voyager II is particularly useful in restaurant and large retail applications. The IntelliPak and Voyager Commercial are highly flexible rooftop solutions featuring multiple factory installed offerings that make them ideal for diverse applications, including malls, offices, manufacturing, healthcare, and primary/secondary education facilities.

VegInspiration. Chronic Malnutrition
Everyone on earth could be fed easily because we currently grow more than enough grain to feed ten billion people; our current practice of feeding this grain to untold billions of animals and eating them forces over a billion of us to endure chronic malnutrition and starvation while another billion suffer from the obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer linked with eating diets high in animal foods.
VegInspiration. Ecosystems Destroyed
The transnational corporations profit from animal food consumption, as do the big banks, which have made the loans that have built the whole complex and demand a healthy return on their investments. The system spreads relentlessly and globally, and while corporate and bank returns may be healthy, people, animals, and ecosystems throughout the world fall ill and are exploited and destroyed.
VegInspiration. Spiritual Communion
The metaphor of eating is central to spiritual communion with the divine presence. It is universally recognized that eating food is both a literally and symbolically sacred action: it is directly partaking of the infinite order that transcends our finite lives.
Photo by Rinalia
VegInspiration. We are Blessed
As we bless others, we are blessed, and seeing beings rather than things, our own being is liberated and enriched.
Photo by Rinalia
VegInspiration. Relieve Their Suffering
Glimpsing this essential nature that we share with all beings not only deepens our yearning to relieve their suffering but also strengthens our ability to work effectively to do so. Seeing victims and perpetrators not merely in these roles but in their spiritual perfection and completeness is profoundly healing. We see that there are no enemies—no essentially evil people or completely hopeless or destructive situations. There are, rather, opportunities to grow, learn, serve, and work together to raise consciousness and bring compassion and understanding to the painful and unjust situations we may see unfolding around us.
Photo by Rinalia
VegInspiration. Linked to the Eternal Truth
Rising above anger and despair while still keeping our hearts open to the ocean of cruelty, indifference, and suffering on this earth is not easy. It requires cultivating wisdom and compassion—both the inner silent receptivity that links us to the eternal truth of our being and the outer actions of serving and helping others that give meaning to our life.
VegInspration. Jesus' Exhortation…Vegan Ethic
Jesus' exhortation that we love one another and not do to others what we wouldn't want done to us is the essence of the vegan ethic, which is a boundless compassion that includes all who can suffer by our actions.
VegInspiration. Mercy and Justice
We are all presented with the same evidence and hear the same call for mercy and justice.
VegInspiration. Quality of Food
Because the quality of our food is directly connected to our mental and physiological health and to our quality of life, diminishing the quality of our food can make us sicker, weaker, and more distracted, violent, stressed, drugged, confused, and disempowered. This is perhaps the real agenda behind the vicious efforts to weaken the standards for organic foods and to introduce highly toxic foods through irradiation, genetic engineering, addition of artificial dyes, noxious flavor-enhancers like MSG, chemical preservatives, known carcinogens like NutraSweet, and dangerous genetically engineered hormones like rBGH and carcinogenic growth hormones. This is in addition to promoting animal-based meals, which concentrate the largest variety and intensity of toxins and are inherently confusing and disempowering.
VegInspiration. Mind-Body Connection
As we research, discuss, and deepen our understanding of the mind-body connection, of the human-animal connection, and of our connection with all the larger wholes in which we are embedded, our spiritual purpose will become manifest.

HI Nut, Thanks for being my newest buddy
Glad to be a bud ... nice ship pic ...
CobraLeader was msm281sec before he changed his name. He was my Buddy then but dropped me when he changed his name.
A BIG CONGRATS on reaching 1.75M and your nice new ride! : ) Really awesome! You're one of only 3,309 of more than 8,000,000 GBs that have accumulated at least 1,750,000 points! Most GBs will never make it to 1M, but you have made it to 1.75M! You've done great here on GasBuddy and you should have many more good years ahead of you and you are on the right track! Keep going another million or more! Many GBs ahead of you have already retired! You're doing great, so keep going! Don't give up now, like so many of the GBs that reached 1M and 2M, then retired! Only 2,609 GBs have continued and made it to 2M, you can get there also! : ) Keep going like a PRO Illinois GasBuddy leading the way for others in GasBuddyland to follow! Have a nice week! Thanks buddy! Ron
A BIG CONGRATS on 800 consecutive days! Really awesome! Wow, another milestone has arrived! : ) For most GBs (8M plus) they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But, even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact the mods! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO Illinois GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks buddy! Ron

Hang tight!
Recipe by Sabattis
"After getting this recipe from a friend, I have made them over 100 times for family and friends and they are always a hit, especially around Halloween and Thanksgiving! As far as the spices go, less is more; this is not a full-on pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread/cake. They're light and moist cookies with a taste of fall in every bite!"
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup butter
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
[My first time posting a review. I posted a photo, too.] I made these last night for a church carry-in dinner. They must have looked appetizing, because I didn't have any to bring home! I made them according to the directions using my 2 Tbs Pampered Chef cookie scoop, and got 53 cookies (12 to a sheet). I made 26 cookie sandwiches with the frosting. See my photo.
The cookie was really soft and not very sweet. With the frosting it was a little better but still more bland of a cookie than what I was hoping for.

So good! These are like eating the top of a cupcake (the best part). They go great with a cup of coffee. I did add 1/2 t. of kosher salt to the dry ingredients and I'm glad I did.
They turned out great - beware of under-cooking them, but the flavor is great and they're very moist and cake-like. Yum!
These cookies and frosting were fantastic. I did the recipe exactly as written, including the frosting. Everyone loved them !!!
These cookies tasted great! But the consistency was too flimsy. I added 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 Crisco butter flavored and they are NOW 5 star! They are still cake like and moist but they have a golden light brown crisp right around the edge and they dont fall aprt. I baked at 375 degrees.
Very light and fluffy, like cake, and with whipped cream cheese frosting - delightful!
I made these for my family one night and they were gone the next morning. :) Only things I would change are: - move flour up to 3 cups and add 2 eggs instead of 1. This is so the cookies have more structure. They still have the same delicious flavor.

Namibian Diamonds
All Brilliant Earth Namibian diamonds are mined according to strict standards of environmental and social responsibility. These diamonds help to promote sustainable development in the impoverished southwest African country. All of our Namibian diamonds are mined and finished within Namibia's borders, providing much-needed jobs, health care and education opportunities for Namibia's people. Because Namibia's ecology has suffered from irresponsible mining practices in the past, the diamond mining regions are now closely monitored for environmental impacts with special care to rehabilitate the land after use.
Namibian diamonds are mined according to strict international ecological standards. On-shore mining areas are carefully rehabilitated through re-vegetation or repurposing of mining infrastructure. The Coastal Monitoring Program closely monitors marine mining operations to ensure that environmental impacts are mitigated.
All of our diamonds are mined, cut and polished in Namibia, providing local jobs and safe and progressive working conditions. Workers receive fair wages, education and skilled job training. They also benefit from the diamond-funded Prevention Care and Support Program, which curbs the spread of HIV/AIDS among laborers and local populations through rigorous education and by making treatment readily available.
These diamonds aid long-term economic development in Namibia by enabling a self-sustainable national gem cutting industry, thus allowing Namibia to retain more of the value of its natural resources. Today, 30% of Namibia's annual export revenue comes from the diamond industry. Diamonds have funded the construction of a renowned maternity clinic in the country's north, as well as the University of Namibia and the Namibian Institute for Educational Development. Diamond revenue also regularly goes toward improving infrastructure, childhood education and health care in local communities.
At Brilliant Earth, we ensure that each of our Namibian diamonds is mined and processed in accordance with strict environmental and social principles and standards. Environmental impacts are minimized, sites are rehabilitated, and care is taken to promote the well being of the local people and the sustainable development of the region. Diamonds are carefully tracked from mine to final delivery to ensure they are mined, cut, and polished in Namibia.
All of our ethically sourced diamonds come with a Certificate of Origin that guarantees their ethical origin in accordance with fair trade and environmentally responsible principles.
We are excited to introduce our collection of Namibian loose diamonds, which are available in numerous styles, cuts and shapes upon request. Please contact us for inquiries or additional information.
Conflict free diamonds are guaranteed to originate from ethical and environmentally responsible sources.

The winter is upon us, and with it, we don our snow boots and puffy jackets, we turn up our heaters and put chains on our tires. And many of us head out to the Plumas-Eureka Ski Bowl above Johnsville to watch the annual Historic Longboard Revival Races.
How times have changed since the races began in the 1860s. But Jan. 20 at 10:30 a.m., winter adventurers from all over will zoom down the slope on historic longboard skis. They will be decked in 1860s gear, and the event will commemorate the initial miners and settlers who fought against the violent winters of the Lost Sierra with the creation of the 12-foot wooden skis originally called "snowshoes."
The Plumas Ski Club established the annual revival races in 1990, and they have been a Plumas County must-see since then. They are held the third Sunday of January, February and March — depending on conditions.
Though the races are a way for the people of the county to enjoy an exciting winter event, they also bring a sense of nostalgia and reverence for the hardy men and women who braved the tough winters with just lengthy pieces of Douglas fir lumber strapped to their boots.
According to author William Berry in his book "Lost Sierra: Gold, Ghosts and Skis," when the Gold Rush hit California in 1849, the Lost Sierra was a year late. In 1850 a select number of miners stumbled upon the terrain and found what was rumored to be a lake full of gold.
When rumors of this "gold lake" traveled, more miners entered the territory the next summer. Though the lake of gold was never actually found, the miners struck it rich in other places, such as Eureka Peak.
The more people came to the area, the harder it was to close up camp for the winter. By 1853, many miners had been mislead by a mild winter the year before and decided to stay year-round. Those who wanted to leave could hardly afford it because the 1853 season yielded a poor profit with all of the easy gold pickings gone.
That year's winter was relentless, and took a toll on the miners and their families. Supplies were next to impossible to obtain and many people did not make it because they couldn't travel in the huge drifts and blustery storms.
It was also that winter when reports of strange tracks in the snow began to arise.
The Argonaut immigrant miners introduced "Norway skates" to the area, and suddenly the winters became bearable. The skis, at the time called snowshoes, quickly became a way of life.
Doctors traveled on the snowshoes to deliver babies, who would have their own pair of snowshoes by the time they were toddlers. Children would travel to school on them and romances blossomed when youths went to the downhill races to watch the miners — and even the women — compete on their snowshoes, which they coated with homemade wax called "dope."
Fannie Woodward Hunsinger, born in Mohawk Valley in 1863, said in her autobiography, "Instead of taking their girls automobile or buggy riding, young men took them snow-shoeing."
Though competitors raced informally all over the Lost Sierra, the first known organized downhill ski race was hosted by the Alturas Ski Club on Feb. 23, 1867, in La Porte.
In a letter to the Plumas National Newspaper dated March 15, 1867, a La Porte man named Mudsill recalled the event.
"The Great Snow Shoe Race was an unbounded success — a glorious time for this end of Plumas County. Everybody enjoyed themselves hugely and were happy," he wrote.
He also spoke about a great competition between the participants of Sierra County and Plumas County, in a tone not much different from that of two towns caught in a high school football rivalry.
"The youngest member of the Mudsill family has been running on (the races) so heavy that he has torn every board off the door yard fence to making snow shoes, and every cooking utensil and door knob about the house is all stuck up with that confounded 'dope,'" he wrote.
The races are divided by gender, and the participants must hike with their skis to the starting line at the top of the slope. The public is invited to participate and watch the historical event.

Already have a pan? Here are the premium ingredients to create the perfect paella! They really do make a difference - from flavor absorbing Bomba rice, to smoky paprika from La Vera, these ingredients elevate a normal paella to a remarkably authentic one. And there is enough here to make two or three paellas, depending on how big they are of course!
Conventional rice or grocery store paprika are bound to produce a disappointing paella - we know from experience. For entertaining friends and family, be sure to start with the best ingredients. We guarantee you will see superior results!
Includes: 1. Bomba rice from Calasparra D.O.(2.2 lbs.) - the ultimate rice for paella; 2. Hand-picked Spanish saffron (0.035 oz); 3. The celebrated smoked pimenton paprika, D.O.(2.47 oz); 4. All natural fire roasted Piquillo Pimientos strips (8 oz) from Lodosa - scarce as they are flavorful; and 5. A 500ml bottle of Senorio de Vizcantar Special Selection extra virgin olive oil.

09/17/2009 - Hard times are hitting the people of Philadelphia, one way or another.The best-case scenario: Philadelphians will pay 14.3% more in sales taxes for the next five years. This is on top of earlier cuts that already reduced library hours, tree trimming, snow plowing and collection of tires and bulk items.At worst, they'll lose their libraries, courts, playgrounds and senior centers. Residents will have nearly 1,050 fewer police officers and firefighters to protect them, and they'll have to hold onto their garbage for two weeks.* * *"Cities are offering services and paying salaries they can't afford at the moment," said Larry Eichel, project director for Pew Charitable Trusts' Philadelphia Research Initiative, a think tank focused on city issues. "Cities like New York, Chicago and Boston are all looking at big deficits for next year."Read the full article Showdown Over Philadelphia Budget Crisis on CNNMoney.com.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Kanawha Valley sports community is in mourning after hearing of the death of a longtime coach, volunteer and former athlete.
Wilbur Jenkins, 48, of South Charleston died suddenly late Saturday, according to friends.
The news spread Sunday via social media with hundreds of messages expressing shock, sadness and grief over Jenkins' death.
Jenkins had been a fixture in the sports community for more than 30 years and had done it all from playing to coaching, and from running stats during tournaments to officiating games.
Jenkins even did some writing for the Daily Mail in the 1980s.
"He was a basketball junkie," said Bill Walton, former South Charleston High School principal and boys' basketball coach. "He loved to be around sports.
"He was just one of those guys who loved to be involved. He stayed in sports all his life or somewhere near it."
The boys were like sons to the basketball coach. He is heartbroken over Jenkins' death. He said they would often come to his home to swim or simply to have dinner with the family. Walton recalled their family as a "wonderful bunch of people."
"Mrs. Jenkins - she rode them hard about being decent people and treating everybody the same," Walton remembered. "She wanted her sons to be respectful around everybody. And they were."
Walton said Jenkins had a great personality and that he didn't know anyone who would dislike him. Jenkins and his fraternal twin brother, Willie, both played for Walton in the early 80s. The twins graduated from South Charleston High School in 1982.
"He was a good player, even though he was a pretty big kid," Walton said. "He was a pretty good kid that could move smoothly. He probably had more athletic skills as a basketball player. You wouldn't expect a big guy to move that quickly or shoot that well."
Steve Joseph, the district chair for the West Virginia AAU boy's basketball program, recalled watching Jenkins play basketball in the 80s but also worked with him during the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and state high school basketball tournaments. Joseph is the head statistician for the state tournaments.
Joseph said his wife woke him at 2 a.m. with the news. She'd seen it on Facebook.
Jenkins would be greatly missed come tournament time. He said Jenkins would do whatever was asked of him.
"You'll never hear anyone say anything bad about him," Joseph said. "It's a big loss. We're going to miss him."
His skills with a ball hadn't diminished over the years. Joseph recalled one instance years ago when a person who made a shot from the half-court line would win a free pizza.
"He shot it from the media table and banked it in," Joseph said. "He said 'I guess that's good for a pizza.' It was."
Walton, who has since retired from education and coaching, recalled attending the boys state tournament at the Charleston Civic Center, where Jenkins could often be found either running information to sports writers, corralling players or coaches into press rooms for interviews or recording game stats.

Series: Evolution Basics (39 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Collins poses, as the central question of his book: "In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews?"
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
The language of a collapsing universe is related to the end of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant as God's "new world order."
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?

I am extremely happy with my website, it looks contemporary and eye-catching along with looking very professional with a gorgeous design.

good case
January 14, 2013
Reviewer: Denise Hamm
Jacket is an excellent fit over the Wii gamepad. It does what I wanted it to do. It is not thick or heavy, so protection is limited, but it does what it is designed for.

Reviewer: Patrick Holmes
It adjusts very well to protect the WiiU gamepad, it is not bulkier and fits pretty nice in a black controller. The buttons remain comfortable reachable, same for directional buttons and sticks.

This cover is great to help preserve your hand held WII U. Keeps the sweaty hands off the actual game part and wards off scratches.

Wii U Jacket
December 31, 2012
Reviewer: Sasha Vargas
I got this jacket reluctantly. My experience with silicone jackets is small thin nearly pointless floppy things that hardly protect what you cover them with. This skin however is thick, feels tough, and textured so that it doesn't feel like it will slip right out of your hand. It fit over my gamepad perfectly. I feel like it will actually protect it if it were to be dropped.

Reviewer: Marc Anderson
Great grip, fits perfectly, good protection, does not cause any discomfort to access the buttons, every space amazingly aligned to the gamepad's respective part.

- Discover three idyllic
- Greek islands Enjoy gentle walks
- Relax on beautiful beaches
The Greek islands have much more to offer than most would think: archaeological treasures, history, culture, dramatic landscapes over an azure coloured sea and of course delicious food. Our week starts in the ancient city of Athens, before heading towards three beautiful islands, Paros, Santorini and Naxos. Exploring the irresistible island of Santorini on foot will certainly be the highlight of our week. Hopping from one wonderful island to the other, we enjoy a relaxed week of gentle walks through picturesque villages, lush valleys and sandy beaches.

Starts between Tits Up and Muscle Beach. First bolt is quite high, so stick clipping the first bolt is wise (requires a long stick). The climb opens with a punchy duo of pockety and crimpy boulder problems up to very welcome deep pockets as it veers up and left to cross Muscle Beach. After a good and nearly no-hands rest, it accelerates up and slightly left through a thought provoking face with decent edges and pockets (once you find them). The afterburning forearms kick in as you reach the break that makes you think you may actually get a rest. Not so lucky, as the final section leads you through a series of delightful pinches, sidepulls, underclings, and pockets to reach the anchors. Great sustained route in the tradition of Tits Up. Possibly less cruxy and more sustained.
9 bolts to chain anchors.
Might want a stick clip for this one. That or climb Muscle Beach and equip this on the way down. Pretty high first bolt with some non-trivial climbing to reach it.

Unilever Records Management Service
Raising internal awareness of the service
To encourage Unilever staff at all levels to send their non-current records to the Records Management Centre when they move to a new site.
Some of the staff on a Unilever site were moving to a new location where there would be much less space for physical records storage.
Stakeholder communication (site workers)
Messages prior to a site visit by the Records Management Service:
- It is not possible to take all your records to the new site
- The Records Management Service can help you prepare for the move and store excess records
Communication methods:
- advertising to the individual teams of an impending Records Management Service site visit via a site-wide email
- message booked on to the site-wide screen saver (this medium could be configured for individual Unilever sites)
- appointment of one staff member from each site to inform people of the approaching visit by the Service
Message during on site visit of the Records Management Service:
- Records Management understands the issues you face and here's how to deal with those issues
Communication methods:
- on site discussion with each team and an information pack
- 'advice slip' to sent each team following visit which summarise suggestions for disposals/retention
The Records Management Service received 200 boxes in the first four months of this targeted approach
