It is what they said it would be... But
If there is one drawback from shopping with the Blue Nile,it is the fact that you don't have a frame of reference until you get your ring. This is my second purchase, and it is exactly what they say it will be, but you truly can't understand the size till you have it...
Beautiful wedding ring!
Exactly what I wanted - but better! I can't wait to start wearing my wedding ring!
She's loved it!
Has a wonderful shine and looks wonderful on the hand. It is just the right size and simply looks stunning
Love this ring!
Love this ring! I bought it to wear with the matching engagement ring (pave diamond ring), but I think this ring would be beautiful next to the 6 prong engagment ring too. Very sparkly! I bought 2! :)
beautiful ring! sparks a lot. very good quality. i just wish they had the same one in 1 ct .thanks blue nile.
We love our rings!
I originally bought my fiancees engagement ring through Blue Nile and not only was I impressed with the quality of the ring, but when we had to send it back because we selected the wrong size, the speed, friendliness, and professionalism of their Customer Service was just as impressive. We shopped around at mall stores looking for our wedding bands and everyone of them complimented her ring from Blue Nile. Then, when we found the same rings we wanted that were offered by Blue Nile, the jewelry store honestly admitted that it was the same rings and they couldn't beat that deal. So, we also bought our wedding rings at Blue Nile and once again we've been impressed with the overall quality of the product, price, and Customer Service.
The epitome of beauty and elegance!
The ring was even more beautiful than pictured on the website. It is dainty, elegant, and catches the light with every movement of my hand. I've had a hard time keeping it in the box awaiting my wedding day. I will wear this ring alone with no engagement ring; it is beautiful enough as is. This was my first time shopping on line with Blue Nile and I highly recommend it. The quality of the products, the value, and the service are top-notch.

"I've received many compliments on my card! I was behind and didn't get Christmas cards done in time so did this instead. I think my friends spent more time looking and admiring my card because the rush of the holidays was over. The paper feels like a fine heavy quality and the layout is attractive. I was very pleased. Be sure to get the larger envelopes because the post office charges .20 more per card for square ones."
"This is not your typical sappy and boring holiday card. The colors are brilliant and seem to sparkle. I upgraded the paper and the card stock was top quality, especially comparing the price to the cost of a single card from a boxed set that is not even personalized. This worked well for us because we are a five person blended family with three boys with many interests. The main picture of all of us fit perfectly in the largest box and there were four boxes left to highlight the rest of the year's activities by individual. I also like that it is a New Year's card with a bold saying on it. New Year's cards avoid the whole religious problem some people may have and I didn't feel I had to rush to get the cards out."
"Great paper quality and fun and festive design. Only a small drawback as it is slighty difficult to write on backside of card as the texture is slick but not like photo paper. A darker or metallic "sharpie" type marker worked ok."
"I personalized with pictures and color and the quality of paper and printer was excellent. We received many compliments on our card. Would highly recommend Tiny Prints."
"The colors on this card are vibrant and the quality of the card stock is smooth with a nice matte finish. It was a great way to bring in the New Years, since I was late with the Christmas cards. I received a ton of compliments of how the card came out beautiful.. Even though there isn't any glitter on the actual card, the quality of the print makes it look like it does have glitter. I would re order again. The great part is the back of the card, I added more pictures and the chevron style gave it a nice touch."

It's finally on the US App Store. I just downloaded it a few hours ago. (Imperials~!)
Like the art and overall style. Too bad it is Formula1 though! But this has my attention for sure.
Yes this looks nice, outstanding reviews from every one who has played it so far as I have read!
I can't exactly say I'm surprised.
Sometimes I wonder why EA would doing this sort of crap? Now they do clash of clans style gameplay…

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
Courtesy University of Mississippi
OXFORD, MS - The last time the Ole Miss football team defeated a top-10 opponent its highly touted freshman were freshman in high school, and coach Hugh Freeze was leading the now-defunct Lambuth University football program.
Four years later, facing the same school it did Nov. 21, 2009, Ole Miss defeated No. 6 LSU 27-24 on a 41-yard field goal by senior kicker Andrew Ritter with two seconds left on the clock.
Playing in front of 61,160 fans, the ninth largest crowd in program history, the Ole Miss defense logged three interceptions, and sophomore running back Jaylen Walton rushed for a career-high 105 yards and a career-high two touchdowns. Ole Miss junior quarterback Bo Wallace went 30-for-39 with 346 yards, and junior wide receiver Donte Moncrief had five catches for 105 yards.
The win over LSU (6-2, 3-2 SEC) was the highest ranked opponent Ole Miss (4-3, 2-3) has defeated since 2008, when the Rebels topped No. 4 Florida.
After an interception in Ole Miss' own end zone by sophomore cornerback Chief Brown, Ole Miss fed off the momentum to drive 69 yards on 17 plays and set up a 28-yard field goal from Andrew Ritter to give the Rebels a 3-0 lead with 1:23 remaining in the first quarter. The Rebels pushed their lead to 10-0 with 12:14 remaining in the first half when senior quarterback Barry Brunetti rolled out of the pocket and found junior tight end Nicholas Parker in the front-right corner of the end zone. The touchdown reception was the first catch of Parker's career at Ole Miss.
The Rebels' defense again stepped up under pressure with 7:36 remaining in the first half and LSU driving down to the Ole Miss 20-yard line. Junior safety Cody Prewitt, who entered the game with three interceptions this season, picked off LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger in the end zone to keep the Tigers off the board.
Senior cornerback Charles then picked off Mettenberger on the Tigers' next drive at the Rebels' 11-yard line. Sawyer was just behind LSU wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on the play and made an acrobatic grab to secure Mettenberger's third interception of the opening half.
The Rebels led 10-0 at the half, marking the first time LSU had been shutout in the opening half since the 2012 national championship game against Alabama. Ole Miss tallied its most interceptions in a game (three) since picking off three passes against Tulane last season.
Ole Miss capped off a picturesque opening drive to the second half with a 2-yard touchdown plunge by sophomore running back Jaylen Walton that gave the Rebels' a 17-0 lead.
LSU finally got on the board with 6:16 remaining in the third quarter thanks to a 1-yard dive from Kenny Hilliard up the middle.
After an Ole Miss fumble at the LSU 49-yard line, the Tigers cut the Rebels' lead to three points with an eight-play drive punctuated by a 3-yard run up the middle by sophomore running back Jeremy Hill with 3:09 remaining in the third quarter.
Ole Miss responded on the ensuing drive with a 26-yard touchdown run up the middle by Walton to cap off the seven-play, 76-yard drive. Walton's impressive 26-yard rush up the middle was the longest of his career.
LSU recovered a muffed punt return by Ole Miss at the Rebels' 13-yard line, but the Ole Miss defense again proved its strength and pushed the Tigers back 10 yards and held them to a 41-yard field goal.
After blocking a 29-yard field goal attempt by Ole Miss with 6:29 remaining in the game, LSU used 11 plays to drive 80 yards and tie the game at 24 on a 4-yard pass from Mettenberger to junior wide receiver Jarvis Landry.
Ritter responded on the Rebels' final drive of the game with a 41-yard field goal with two seconds remaining on the clock to give Ole Miss the victory.

Sean Biggerstaff, Leading ManBiggerstaff Interviews
June 18, 2005, 09:30 PM
The Sunday Times has a new interview with actor Sean Biggerstaff, who played Gryffindor Quidditch Captain Oliver Wood. Sean has been cast as a lead role in a new motion picture called Cashback. The Times article notes how this new role is important for the actor to continue on in his career, but Sean has not forgotten his experience in the Potter films.
"I loved the books and I'm very proud of being a part of Happy[sic] Potter," he says. "Sure, I haven't worked on it for two years and people still ask me about it. But I wouldn't be where I am in my career or financially without it, so it's a small price to pay."

1992: James Stockdale asks: "Who am I? Why am I here?"
Stockdale, a decorated Vietnam veteran, was third-party candidate Ross Perot's running mate. His unique opening earned him some laughs, but in the long run, also made him the subject of jokes that undercut his aim of being a serious contender.
1988: Michael Dukakis and the death penalty
When asked whether he would favor an irrevocable death penalty for someone who raped and murdered his wife, Dukakis, the Democratic nominee, quickly answered that he wouldn't. While a calm and efficient response would seem befitting for most debate questions, Dukakis's automatic, technical answer to such an emotionally distressing question didn't sit will with voters looking for a more human response.
1988: Lloyd Bentsen tells Dan Quayle: "You're no Jack Kennedy"
Just about every political put-down has to be compared to this one from the vice presidential debate 24 years ago. Quayle defended his experience and readiness to be president by noting that he had "as much experience as Jack Kennedy did, when he sought the presidency." The Democratic vice presidential nominee replied curtly: "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."
1984: Ronald Reagan says he won't exploit Walter Mondale's "youth and inexperience"
Facing questions about this age, the incumbent turned the argument on its head, earning laughter from the audience when he delivered this line about Mondale. This debate was a reminder that humor holds the potential to defuse issues that are difficult to navigate.
1980: Reagan: "There you go again"
After Jimmy Carter cast him as an opponent of Medicare and expanding health insurance in debate No. 2, Reagan's memorable line was an effective jumping off point for a rebuttal. Taken together with his also memorable "are you better off?" closing argument, Reagan commanded the attention in this debate.

Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate with Peppermint
November 5th, 2012 by Rosa
Now that Halloween is over, winter holiday chocolate should be making its way onto store shelves. I believe Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate with Peppermint is sold year-round in Europe (any European readers want to weigh in?), but here in the U.S. it's a limited edition for winter. Mine was a free sample from Sweets and Snacks.
The wrapper promised "a refreshing peppermint filling." It had a strong, pepperminty scent with just an edge of bitterness. Each square was a white peppermint fondant covered in dark chocolate.
The thin dark chocolate coating was crunchy to bite through and smooth in its melt. It had a deep cocoa flavor and finished with a light sweetness.
The peppermint fondant was soft and thickly squishy. It tasted like it smelled: pepperminty with a hint of herbal bitterness.
I found it pleasantly refreshing but not effervescent or super mouth-cooling. It was much more mild than a York Peppermint Pattie and had a higher chocolate to peppermint fondant ratio. I welcomed the change: an OM.

Kentucky Horse Council
Stable Management
Often times, horse owners feel their beloved equines are simply a magnet for injuries. Being accident prone just seems to be in their nature, most times brought on by their instinctive fight-or-flight response, their need to establish herd hierarchy, and in some cases, their sense of natural curiosity.

Police find severed head, foot in Toronto park
TORONTO, Canada (AP) — Police in Canada say they have found a severed human head in a park near Toronto, close to the spot where a human foot was found earlier in the day.
Peel police Acting Inspector Randy Cowan says officers discovered the foot this morning in the Credit River in Mississauga.
Cowan says it's not clear whether the foot belongs to a man or a woman, but investigators believe it was severed in recent weeks. Police have not said if the foot and head are from the same person.
A human head was found in a Montreal park in July belonging to Jun Lin, a Chinese student who was killed and dismembered in May. Canadian porn actor Luka Magnotta has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge in that case.

What right? There ain't no such right, folks. There is the domestic partnership act -- those are rights, and I'm fine with them. But there is no marriage right that gays are entitled to.
And that's that.

PITTSBURGH -- Clint Hurdle wants a pitcher who keeps cool when the heat is on. Enter Juan Cruz, the veteran right-handed reliever who has already had an impact on the Bucs.Cruz is the only pitcher to have appeared in each of the first two games, and he picked up the first victory as reward for his clutch deliveries in the top of the 10th of Saturday night's walk-off thriller vs. the Phillies. He recovered from consecutive two-out singles to strike out Phillies' cleanup hitter Hunter Pence and preserve a tie. "He's been around. He doesn't get rattled. He's confident all the time," said catcher Rod Barajas, whose leadoff double in the bottom of the 10th sparked the rally that led to Alex Presley's RBI infield single for the 2-1 win. "He's always telling me, 'I'll throw any pitch, any time. You put your fingers down, I'll throw it.' "That's what makes him so tough. He proved it in Spring Training, and he's proving it now." Cruz's two shutout innings have continued the convincing trend that earned him a job as a non-roster invitee to camp. In his team-high 10 spring appearances, the easy-going and well-traveled -- the Pirates are his seventh big league team -- 33-year-old held opponents to a .176 average. He had more strikeouts (seven) than hits allowed (six).
A.J. progressing; Morton set for rehab start
PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates starters who are here are pitching well, and those who are not are getting well.Charlie Morton is set to make possibly his one-and-only rehab start Monday night and A.J. Burnett, who will make another rehab start with Bradenton on Wednesday, could be pitching for the Bucs "before the end of the month," according to Pittsburgh general manager Neal Huntington. "We want to keep him in the warm weather and get him to 100 pitches," Huntington said of Burnett, who made 68 of them in an extended rehab start for the Marauders on Friday. Burnett was only scheduled to throw four innings in that game against the St. Lucie Mets, but he returned to the mound in the fifth for two more outs because of a low pitch count. "It was great that he was able to get out there for one more [inning]. Next time, he'll stretch out a little more, and we'll reassess where he is," Huntington said. Burnett is catching up with the rest of the staff after having his Spring Training delayed by facial surgery on March 2. Her suffered a fractured right-eye orbital bone during a bunting competition on Feb. 29 -- 10 days after completion of his trade acquisition from the Yankees. Morton is on track to beat Burnett back. He will start for Triple-A Indianapolis in Columbus, the last prelude to merging with the rotation to start this weekend in San Francisco.
Sidelined Leroux eyes midseason return
PITTSBURGH -- Chris Leroux, knocked out by a rare injury, is headed back to Florida to continue his slow rehab toward a possible midseason return.The right-hander incurred a strained pectoral muscle pitching in Tuesday's final exhibition, and he was placed on the 60-day disabled list on Wednesday. "They [team trainers] said they'd never seen this injury," said Leroux, who got a clear look at it himself in his MRI. "It was plain as day, a white strip in the chest area. I already feel a lot better than I did. The first couple of days, I could barely sleep; when I rolled over, it felt like I was getting stabbed in the chest." Leroux has been ordered to not even throw for four to six weeks. He will occasionally rejoin the Bucs when they are home to get his therapy and do his rehab here. "I have to be careful. If I try to return too early, it could be the whole season. It's like a hamstring [injury, easily aggravated]," he said.
Worth noting
Jeff Karstens -- the hitter, of all things -- may have prevented the Phillies from joining Cleveland in making Major League history. Were it not for Karstens' 11-pitch at-bat in the third inning of Saturday night's game, Cliff Lee may have been able to go beyond six innings. He'd allowed two hits, the same number Roy Halladay had allowed in eight innings in the opener.The Phillies could have become the second team in the live-ball era (post-1920) to have its first two starters go 7-plus and allow two hits or less. Hours earlier, the Indians became the first -- with Justin Masterson and Ubaldo Jimenez, against Toronto. The Bucs improved to 24-14 vs. the Phillies at home in PNC Park's 13-year history. Jared Hughes and Evan Meek, the only relievers who hadn't yet appeared, both made their season debuts. Meek pitched a perfect eighth, including a strikeout of Hunter Pence, after Hughes had allowed two unearned runs in the seventh.

Chris Singleton officially entered the 2011 NBA Draft a day after the Florida St. Seminoles forgot to deploy a SPOILER ALERT. Singleton claimed he hadn't made his mind up until the day of his announcement, so maybe FSU is trying to get rid of him? Super sad, and seems like a pretty bad idea, Noles.
Singleton himself on Wednesday:
Up until I woke up this morning, there was still a decision of whether or not I was going to do it (declare myself eligible) or not I made the decision and I just had to be certain. I'm going to finish up my education. I'm only 24 hours away. I intend to take classes this summer so I am going to be around. I am enrolled in Summer B.
The 2010 ACC Defensive Player of the Year did not appear in SB Nation's first 2011 NBA mock draft, but others have him going as a late first-rounder.

Imports, business and social classes.
by btchakir, Thu Sep 06, 2007 at 01:42:47 PM EDT
Toxic dog food, poison toothpaste, lead-paint contaminated Barbie toys and now... inadequately packaged and, hence, nonfunctional condoms! Unregulated trade with China is bringing us continued stories of danger and dissatisfaction.
It seems like every week there is a new problem.
We are a country that once manufactured the finest products in the world. Our industrial laborers created a strong and vibrant middle class that assured the continuance of quality products by demanding the best.
At one point we lived in Main-Streeted towns across the country, where stores were owned by individual storekeepers and family business people who insisted on carrying good products and backed them with their reputation as local merchants of integrity. Hell, they made deliveries! (I learned to drive in my father's drug store delivery car - Dad figured that if I screwed up in my driving his customers would call him and let him know... Merchants and customers once had trusting relationships with each other!)
Middle class industrial workers and Main Street merchants sent their kids to college and passed on what we now refer to as "family values" - a phrase which now seems only to mean no gays, no abortions, no no social-equality. Oh, and "family values" seems limited to Christian Republic Party members.
Somewhere along the way, while our values were being sectored into right-wing neighborhoods, large corporations started to develop Malls and Wal-Marts and Sam's Clubs and other Warehouse Stores that decimated the downtown merchants on the basis of penny-sized price points. Then, to keep the price points down came the search for cheaper labor, first driving manufacturing to non-union states (excuse me, "Right To Work States"), then down to Mexico and to places like Northern Ireland (I remember when Apple Computer moved manufacturing there some years ago), then Japan, then India and China. With every move, price points went down.
And quality, safety and integrity went down, too.
The Middle class people without stable manufacturing jobs, without the ability to maintain family businesses on Main Street (which was now pretty much abandoned as a business location anyway) became lower class workers at fast foot restaurants and warehouse stores. A few joined the upper classes and pushed more Corporate management and imports. But the middle became empty.
It's like a watermelon at the end of the season that has grown in the field too long. Most of the sweet, solid fruit in the center of the melon has turned into over-ripened mush. Tap the outside of the end-of-the-season melon and you hear a hollow thump.
And who is responsible for fixing this situation? The Government? Certainly not the current administration... they will insist on individuals taking responsibility for what they (and their country) have become.
And we go on.

Michelle Obama: "Don't Ever Make Decisions Out of Fear"
by ProfessorReo, Thu May 29, 2008 at 11:45:38 AM EDT
There's a great article on Huffington Post by an author talking about her experiences attending a fundraiser for Obama where Michelle was the featured speaker. The fundraiser took place in Phoenix, Arizona, and was attended mostly by women.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dawn-teo/m ichelle-obama-in-phoenix_b_103924.html
The author, Dawn Teo, gives a very moving account of Michelle's speech and her interaction with the audience. Below I've posted a portion of the article, where the author describes what happened when an emotionally distraught audience member asked Michelle a very sensitive question.

I love using the term "dangerous thoughts". It encapsulates precisely what I feel the need to describe. A dangerous thought is a destructive thought that is tempting, but ultimately not true.
For example, racism. Imagine if you grow up, and know a lot of black criminals. A dangerous thought would be to think that black people are criminals. From your perspective, it seems true – your experience has led you to believe it. In reality, the thought is very destructive, and is ultimately not true. Crime doesn't originate from skin color, it originates from social conditions (and some other things probably).
Racism is an easy example though. There are much more clever dangerous thoughts though.
What about intention manifestation? I believe that intention manifestation is a dangerous thought. This is why:
Intention manifestation says that: "You get what you think about, in accordance to the law of attraction. If you aren't getting what you want, then you need to change your thoughts. If you've changed your thoughts, and you STILL aren't getting what you want, then really you haven't changed your thoughts… you are canceling yourself out with other thoughts."
Why is this dangerous? Well, first – it's tempting. We would all love to think that we can wish and get whatever we want. It's a really nice idea! I want a genie too! All I have to do is think the right thoughts (and listen to my emotions), and I'll get what I want! Hurray!
But there's a much larger reason for why this thought is dangerous. Any failure is a failure of the believer – never a failure of the theory. Now, forget that we're talking about intention manifestation for a second. Imagine we are talking about some random theory about reality. And imagine that this random theory states at the end, "If you observe this theory to be untrue, then this theory states that it is a result of you not believing entirely in this theory."
If the theory is, in reality, untrue – how could you prove it? What if my theory was, "Trees have learned to speak English. If you cannot hear a tree speak English, it's because you don't believe they can, and trees can also read minds and become offended by people like you, so they refuse to talk to you."
Now, of course trees can not speak English, nor are they capable of such highly accurate telepathy . But how can you disprove such a theory? Any attempt to disprove it will result in "well, of course you never hear the trees – they won't allow disbelievers to hear them. You just proved the theory is true!"
You can see how ridiculous this is. And hopefully you can also see why I label this sort of thinking as "dangerous". You can easily get caught in a loop – forcing yourself to believe something in order to test the theory.
I propose a new thought-suggestion:
Thought Suggestion 132: I will not attempt to test theories that require belief in the theory in order to be tested. It is the fault of the theory for not providing a way for healthy thinkers to verify the theory without mandating a belief system.
You'll notice that a lot of religion gets cut deep with this suggestion as well. "If you observe Christianity to be untrue, then really you're just being fooled by the Devil, and you must believe even more in Christianity in order to overcome the Devil."

FARRAGUT (WATE) -- With a 12-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole, Hunter Haas broke a three-way tie Sunday to win the Knoxville Open at Fox Den Country Club.
Haas ended the final round with Shane Bertsch and Justin Bolli at 13-under-par 275. Haas had carded a three-under 69 for the day in regulation play. Bertsch and Bolli each had a one-under 71.
With pressure mounting at the start of the playoff, Haas, Bertsch and Bolli teed off on the par-five 18th, but none hit the fairway on their first shot. Betsch then ended his chances to stay with Bolli by chopping into the rough, then hitting a tree on his third shot.
Haas and Bolli found the green on their third shots. But when Bolli failed on a chip shot from the edge of the green, that opened the door for Haas. Stepping away from the ball once, Haas then calmly drained the putt for the win.
"I knew it'd be tough for everybody out there today. I was fortunate to have only one bogey today. And you know, I just played one shot at a time, just played my game. That's what I've done all week and it worked. I wish my family would've been here," the emotional Haas reacted after.
Saturday's third round leader, Jimmy Walker, had a chance to earn an automatic promotion to the PGA tour with a win Sunday, but he faded with a final round 75. Thanks to a triple-bogey at the 14th, he had to settle for a fourth place tie with Brendan Jones and Zoran Zorkic at 11-under-par 277.
Haas collected $85,500 for his first tour win. He opened play Sunday four strokes behind Walker, but early birdies on the first and fifth moved his score to 12-under. Back-to-back birdies on the 13th and 14th made up for a bogey at the 15th and kept him in a tie for first.

The Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority will hold two public meetings, one in Hyattsville and another in Takoma Park, to get rider feedback about bus service along the F4 and F6 bus routes.
It's part of the Metrobus Studies, a review of WMATA and local bus routes designed to identify problems and potential improvements to bus service throughout the region.
Both lines stretch from New Carollton and Silver Spring, meandering through College Park, Riverdale, the University of Maryland, West Hyattsville and Prince George's Plaza Metro stations, and through Takoma Park.
The lines serve about 7,600 riders per day, according to WMATA, making it one of the most well traveled Metrobus routes in Maryland.
The first meeting is on Wednesday, March 21 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the at 6530 Adelphi Road in Hyattsville. On Thursday, March 22 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., the meeting will be held in the Azela Room of the at 7500 Maple Avenue in Takoma Park.
Come whenever you want, too. The meetings are an open format, with no formal presentation, designed to allow attendees to review plans and speak with study officials.
The study began in February and runs through June, 2012. Riders on the line are encouraged to send feedback in to Metrobus Studies for inclusion in their report. Metrobus Studies are taking feedback through email and through an online rider survey, which you can find here.
Metrobus Studies also maintain a Twitter feed @MetrobusStudies

A 73-year-old driver crashed a van right into a nail salon near Broadway and Mill Ave.
The woman apparently hit the gas instead of the brake pedal as she was trying to park.
"I just hear the noise, the boom and then everything was going down, she hit the window and the van go all the way through to the salon," said employee Johnny Khue.
Paramedics took a 13-year-old girl to the hospital to be checked out. She was not seriously hurt.

Its Presidents Day here in the U.S., which means most of us are working at half-mast since the banks and post office are closed for business. But the news business never slows down, and in the tech world, a Monday holiday is usually reserved for a few curveballs, such as the curious case of Whitney Houstons The Bodyguard going missing from Netflix streaming in the wake of her death (which turns out to be a case of mistaken license term, apparently). With that in mind, heres the rest of the news for this slow Monday, February 20, 2012.
VLC 2.0 Now Ready for Download
After teasing its release last week, VideoLAN has pulled the trigger on VLC 2.0, which brings an entirely new user interface to the Mac OS X version. The new version, code-named Twoflower, promises faster decoding on multi-core, GPU, and mobile hardware and the ability to open more formats, notably professional, HD and 10bits codecs as well as a new rendering pipeline for video, with higher quality subtitles, and new video filters to enhance your videos. Experimental support for Blu-ray discs is also rolled into VLC 2.0, which also squashes several hundreds of bugs thanks to the work of 160 volunteers. While the open source software is free as always, users are encouraged to donate at the top of the download page, which keeps the non-profit organization pumping out such cool updates down the road.
Apple Threatens Defamation Suit Against Proview
Following up our report this morning regarding the iPad trademark battle in China between Apple and Proview, AllThingsD is now reporting that Cupertino is preparing a counter-attack to stop the Chinese LCD display maker from talking smack. In a letter to Proview founder Yang Rongshan, Apples attorney writes: It is inappropriate to release information contrary to the facts to the media, especially when such disclosures have the effect of wrongfully causing damage to Apples reputation. Making misrepresentations in the press to inflame the situation is adversely affecting the interests of the parties in seeking any resolution of the matter. On behalf of Apple, we formally reserve all rights to take further legal action against any individuals and entities for any damages that may result from defamatory statements and unlawful actions intended to wrongfully interfere with Apples business and business relationships. In other words: Proview, if you hope to bleed us for any money, youd best shut your mouths, toot sweet -- or something like that...
Well, Duh: Next iPhone Due in Fall 2012
We often hate to even republish rumors like this, mainly because they seem so obvious that theyre rarely worth the virtual ink theyre written with. Be that as it may, MacRumors is reporting that a reliable source has confirmed that Apple is again targeting the September or October timeframe for the 2012 iPhone model -- which we hesitate to call the iPhone 5, even though it seems more likely thats what it will be called now. Japanese blog Macotakara broke the dubious news earlier today, citing an Asian reliable source who claims the next iPhone will be released in September or October, and this cycle seems to be kept for years -- in other words, Apple plans to stick to this release schedule moving forward. Might as well make your vacation plans for June this year, folks...
Apple Report Hypes Up Solar Power in North Carolina Data Center
Here comes the sun -- thats the message Apple seems to be singing with an updated report today on its environmental footprint, according to Cnet. Our new data center in Maiden, North Carolina, demonstrates our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our facilities through energy-efficient, green building design, Apples report reveals. The facility has earned the coveted LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. We know of no other data center of comparable size that has achieved this level of LEED certification. Our goal is to run the Maiden facility with high percentage renewable energy mix, and we have major projects under way to achieve this -- including building the nations largest end user-owned solar array and building the largest nonutility fuel cell installation in the United States. The brief mention is Apples first comment on the subject to the public, which has been widely rumored since winning approval to reshape 171 acres of vacant land adjacent to the data center.
Slow News Day: Studio Yanks Whitney Houston Flicks from Netflix? (Nope.)
Mondays are traditionally one of the slower days of the week for tech news, which makes this bizarre little nugget all the more fascinating. According to Gawker, Whitney Houston fans are being mistreated yet again. After Sony recently jacked up the price of the deceased divas music on iTunes, Warner Bros. is now being accused of trying to prop up its sagging DVD fortunes by yanking Houstons debut feature film The Bodyguard from Netflix streaming. After reading some of the venomous comments about the move on the Netflix website, Google Plus Week host Dan McDermott took it upon himself to contact Netflix directly and was told the production company pulled the streaming rights from us because all the publicity after Whitney Houston's passing there was an opportunity to make really a very large amount of money on the DVD sales of her movies." Unfortunately, that story appears to be totally untrue, according to an update from AllThingsD. Netflix PR rep Steve Swasey claims The Bodyguard streaming rights expired at the end of last year and werent renewed. No need to call in Scooby-Doo to solve this mystery, folks.

METAMORA, Ill. -- A Metamora Iraq War veteran, who became a symbol of survival after a car bomb explosion, has died.
Family members say 30-year-old Ty Ziegel died early Wednesday morning after falling on ice.
Angela Cochran, Ziegel's girlfriend, said he has been an inspiration in the three months since they began dating.
"You can ask him anything about his scars, his time in Iraq, how everything happened; he's like an open book," said Cochran. "He was willing to share stories. That's what makes him so inspiring. He's not trying to hide."
In December of 2004, Ziegel and another local marine suffered severe burns when a car bomb exploded while they both were serving in Iraq. Ziegel spent several months in a hospital in San Antonio, Texas. His mother, Becky Ziegel, says he learned to deal with the disability.
"His doctors asked him several times to visit other injured military people, just to be a little bit of inspiration, maybe go in there and say 'hey you know time to buck up," Ziegel said.
Becky Ziegel says her family has received a tremendous amount of support in recent years. She says her other son, Zachary, who is also a marine, reminded her how Ty would want them to be after he's gone.
"He would want us to appreciate the eight years we really didn't expect to have, that we need to appreciate the gift that we did get from him," she added.
Ty Ziegel retired from the marines in 2007 for medical reasons. His family says he lived life to the fullest and despite his disability and often tried to encourage others.
Autopsy results are pending.
A visitation will be held Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Mason Funeral Home in Metamora. Funeral services are scheduled for 11:00 a.m. Monday.

Kamelot – The Black Halo Reviews
Kamelot inked their recording contract in 1994 and released their debut, Eternity, the following August. The press praised the album as one of the most promising first offerings ever. 1996 saw the arrival of Dominion, an album that sounded even more varied and diverse than its predecessor. In spring 1997 Kamelot found Casey Grillo and the former Conception vocalist Khan, who joined the group during the production of Siege Perilous.

My, My, My... I would say a little over reaction by the Walnut Creek PD.
Arrested for brandishing a toy hand gun and making terrorist threats in Spanish...WOW
I think the only thing he did that was really stupid was risking getting shot by the cop's. Pointing a gun, real or not will get you killed.

What content was he yelling?
What is his nationality and US Citizenship status?
Was any motive established?
I dislike these stories that leave so many obvious questions unanswered.....and so much room for rampant speculation.
on Jun 20, 2011 at 4:15 pm
Maybe he should have been shot by the police; then Julia may have had a point in decrying "a little over reaction."
Thank you, Walnut Creek police department!

Anyone ever watch the rigors Police Officers go through- training to make instant decisions when pop-ups show a shadow with.... is it a gun? Is it a child with a toy gun? Anyone reading who thinks THEY would be better at the judgement calls Officers must make?
Yes, there are rogue cops who are no better than the bad guys.
But "arm chair quarterbacking" is usually "played" by people with no skills.

jrm is back with his typical "character assassination" attacks on people and their personalities.
I'd rather see all Commenters contest the ISSUES raised, not the PERSONS participating.
It gets so unpleasant to read through the disparaging "trash talking"--which is a quick effort to silence people and reduce readership of certain articles. Basically a political bullying technique.
Instead of injecting vile and ill-will towards our local persons (no matter any personal opinions are about them, their ideas, or styles of writing), I hope to see more responses to their statements of ideas, concepts, philosophies, and belief systems.
on Jun 26, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Now, now, psmacintosh... You see, good old Hal likes to inject a little extra oxygen into the fire every now and then; I know because I've had a little history with him on these comment sections. That being said, Hal or Julia, whatever name he goes by obviously made a statement ignorant of the facts. He got called out and you defended him. I'm with jrm. I like this area. Now please, just calm down and enjoy this great weather.

The good: The Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller is comfortable and practical and can be used for PC games.
The bad: The Xbox 360 isn't designed to accept many wired controllers, and the near-perfect wireless controller isn't much more expensive. The controller lacks the innovative motion-sensitive features of the Wii and PS3, which may stunt creativity in games for the system.
The bottom line: With PC compatibility, the wired Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller makes a fine choice for a fourth controller.

Best Controller

Summary: This controller is fantastic. Although I use it mostly for my 360 it is nice to take a break from keyboard mouse and do this. Nicest of all it is extremely comfy, very light, very well built, and all around easy to use. I have to say as the owner of a PS2 and Gamecube that this is by far the best conventional controller ever made. Dualshock 3 is still behind, they even took most of what makes the 360 controller awesome and emulated it.

Xbox 360 controller additions...
by ST0RMC00PER on June 5, 2006
Pros: Excellent responsiveness and easy to use.
Cons: Battery pack location and white=dirt magnet.
Summary: I agree with most points listed in the review of the Xbox 360 contolller, but I wanted to add a couple more (for both wired and wireless).
As a point ...
Summary: I agree with most points listed in the review of the Xbox 360 contolller, but I wanted to add a couple more (for both wired and wireless).
As a point of reference, I've had an original Xbox with 2 wired "S controllers" for a few years, and a 360 with one wired and one wireless controller for several months.
As a side-note, I play every night, and know these controllers well, so don't "push my buttons."
The 360 wireless controller works amazingly well, even when I am a good distance from the console (such as, in the next room). The battery life is great. I can go several days before charging it (and yes, I highly recommend the Charge & Play Kit). There are only a couple of complaints I've had:
1) The wireless controller's battery pack gets in the way of my middle fingers, causing my fingers to cramp after extended play (more than an hour). This it not a problem with the wired controller, as there is no battery pack under the controller.
2) It is white. I am really hoping Microsoft releases a green, silver, or black controller. The white controllers get really gross looking, and quickly. Don't agree with me? Run your fingernail down one of the grooves on the side. Exactly. Not that a color change would prevent the build-up, but at least it wouldn't be as visible.
3) The headest is sub-par. I purchased a Plantronics headset to go with my original Xbox, and I liked it much better than what came with the 360. The 360 headset seems cheap, and I often have trouble hearing people. I could use my old Plantronics headset, but there is no volume control without using the 360 headset.
4) Charge! This is more a recommendation than a problem... If you want to charge your wireless controller, you have to plug it into a USB port. The 360 console will only charge the controller when the console itself is on. If I am playing and charging at the same time, this is fine, but if my 360 is off, I just charge it on my PC's USB port. It is that easy! (And yes, my PC is always on.)
And now for the 360 wired controller:
Since the wired controller is esentially the same as the wireless, there is really little to add here, but here is what I've found.
1) Don't be a fool. Microsoft actually sells two versions of the wired 360 controller. One is a few dollars more than the other because it comes with a driver for PCs. Save your cash. You can purchase the cheaper wired controller and download the driver for free from Microsoft.com. Sneaky, aren't they? I've played Halo on the PC with the wired 360 controller, and once properly configured, you can really convince yourself you are playing on a 360.
2) As mentioned above, due to the battery pack on the 360 wireless controller, the wired controller is actually the more confortable of the two... if you don't mind being wired.
Finally, as far as comfort goes, I still believe the S controller was easier to hold, but the 360 definitely has improved button layout and an impressive wireless connection. I look forward to seeing what Microsoft does next with the 360's accessories.

by PINKDONUT666 on October 29, 2011

Cons: unless you have a 360 S (like i do) you need a usb multi-tap to have 4 controllers connected, but even with a slim, controllers plugging into the back? really? you really need to have wireless controllers in conjunction with wired ones.
Summary: this is a great all around controller for those who play the 360 (of course) and the pc. This in my books (and i can't stress enough) is one ...
Summary: this is a great all around controller for those who play the 360 (of course) and the pc. This in my books (and i can't stress enough) is one of the greatest, if not the greatest video game controller ever. Also the fact it's useable with the pc is even better. mainly because so many PC controllers are horrible cheap rip-offs of console controllers, this solves that problem for the same or less than some of these horrible piles of crap that they sell for the PC. All in all, don't buy a third party controller to replace one of these or i will shoot you. so please, live, sleep, drink dr. pepper, play xbox, sleep, and have fun!

Joey Votto will be on the Reds until 2023. That's a year after Soylent Green is supposed to take place. That sets up a better Prince Fielder joke, but we can only use the cards that we're dealt. And any time a player is signed for a decade for many, many millions, it becomes fashionable at how much value the player will be returning in ten years' time when he's 53, or whatever.
But at the Red Reporter, they're not thinking about the marginal cost of a win right now. They're thinking about their favorite team acting like one of the big boys for once:
The numbers can project what Joey Votto is going to be worth over the life of this contract, and how much every dollar paid to him is worth in free market wins available, but in this rare instance they utterly fail at fully understanding the real value of Joey Votto the Red. This has been one of the league's most moribund, dysfunctional, impotent, and inconsequential franchises for a number of years...
Not only did the Yankees develop a rare talent like Derek Jeter, but when he approached free agency there was never a question that he would be re-signed. This winter, with two years before scheduled free agency, Votto was one of the most talked-about impending free agents. The Reds could never afford a talent like his, not in a market like this.
There was a good chance that the Reds would trade Votto as he approached free agency, or that they'd do something similar to what the Mets did with Jose Reyes: squeeze every last drop out of him and his production before letting him leave via free agency.

Ecco il mio primo tutorial!
Per fare una skull cap vi serve:
- Filo coordinato,
- Macchina per cucire, spilli, forbici o rotella per patchwork e tappetino autorigenerante, ferro e asse da stiro.
Here is my first tutorial!
To make a skull-cap you need:
- Cotton fabric (mine is 140 x 50 cm)
- coordinated thread
- sewing machine, pins, scissors or patchwork wheel, self-healing mat, iron and ironing board.
- due pezzi come da cartamodello, questi saranno i laterali della skull cap
- a strip of fabric 11.50 cm high and 41 cm long will be in the middle
- a strip of fabric 9 cm high 90 cm long, will be used to finish the whole skull cup and to tie the bandana on the back
Start with the strip of fabric 11.50 cm high and 41 cm long and give a triangle shape at one side like the image here.
Approximately mine is 8 cm long. The width of 1.5 cm at the edge allows you to get a seam allowance of about 0.75 cm per side to finish it. I show you two pictures of the fabric freshly cut and then finished.
Take the two sides of the skull cap: sew a small hem, approximately 3 mm, on the side that we have called AB on pattern
Pin the 11.50 cm x 41cm strip of fabric, with the round shape side called AC: right sides together and making sure that the point C matches with point C of the side of the strip. Use many pins!
Let's go to the sewing machine and position the project so that the edge of the sewing foot of the machine matches with the edges of the fabric: in this way, our stitiches will always be at 0.75 cm from the edge.
Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 with the other side of the skull cap.
It's time to sew triangle shape of the middle strip: fold and pin a hem of 0.75 cm
Now we got to prepare the long strip of the skull cap: take the 90 cm long strip and go to the ironing board (the few times in which we like ironing)! Fold the two short sides 0.5 cm and iron;
fold in half along the length of the strip and iron
Pin the strip to the edge of the skull cap forming a kind of sandwich, making sure that the row edge of the skull cap is between the two edges of the strip. Better to begin first from the center of the strip and of the skull cap and then proceed to the right and the left. Here, too, use many pins!
Close the two tails with pins
Let's go to the sewing machine and sew at about 3 mm from the folded edge. Be sure to sew all the layers of fabric!
Here is the Skull-cap!!!!!!!!!!
Per oggi è tutto, se vi è piaciuto fatemelo sapere, se non sono stata chiara ditemelo, ogni consiglio è bene accetto!!!
This skull cap is for an adult, but increasing the seam allowances in step 4) from 0.75 to 1 cm the bandana is perfect for a boy / girl aged 4.
That's all, if you like it let me know if I was not clear let me know, any advice is welcome!
See you soon,

Reiki Quotes
Dr. Mehmet Oz stated on one of his programs,
"Reiki may ultimately be the most
important alternative treatment of all."
Both Reiki and therapeutic touch are
energy medicine treatments that are
completely safe and have been shown
scientifically to speed the healing process.
~Dr. Christiane Northrup
Specialist in Women's Health
"Listening to the body, is in fact, the
most sensible thing anyone can do for
premium health and the system of Reiki is
founded on this principle"
Fran Stiene, International House of Reiki
to Emerald Reiki, I'm honored you stopped
by. What is Reiki you may ask? Reiki
(pronounced ray-key) is a method of working
with the energy that flows through each of
us, our animals, plants…indeed all things.
Reiki practitioner is trained to tap into
this sacred energy to support the natural
healing process. Often also referred to as
Energy Healing, Energy Balancing,
Hands-on-healing, Reiki is a complementary
therapy which has become very popular and is
recognized by many famous physicians,
hospitals and more. While Reiki is not a
replacement for medical or psychological
treatment it can be used to stimulate the
body's own innate healing.
Reiki aids in relaxation, supports physical
healing, provides emotional or mental
support, and can enhance your spiritual
well- being. Physically, Reiki helps
strengthen the body's immune system. It also
helps relieve pain and supports the body's
innate healing process. The effects of Reiki
can be powerful yet gentle and safe.
All energy healing, including Reiki,
penetrates clothing allowing the recipient
to remain fully clothed. A session consists
of light, gentle, non-invasive touch
therapy. Reiki therapy is safe regardless of
the state of your health or physical
condition. Sessions can be conducted seated
in a chair or lying on a massage table
depending on a person's needs. An almost
universal response to a Reiki session is a
deep sense of peace and well-being.
Although Reiki is considered a complementary
therapy, many hospitals are integrating
Reiki in their healing spas as well as in
surgery rooms. In addition, Elder Care Homes
and Rehab Facilities are adding Reiki to
