text: With the way the west is shaping up the Thunder look to be the best. The Lakers may share our building but our on the decline and are clearly not as entertaining of a team to watch. I was saying tonight was a key statement game for the clippers and they played like it! You could see the frustration and anger in Durant cause he is clearly a winner and the thunder are a young nucleolus somewhat similar to the build of the clippers.So why not a best of the West rivalry with the Clippers and the Thunder they are clearly are newest toughest opponent to get past to win it all if you have the same vision I have!!!

The Fifteen Card Tarot Spread
The Fifteen Card spread is simpler than it appears, since it is actually five groups of three cards, which indicates that it is based upon the four elements and spirit uniting them at the centre.
The Fifteen Card Tarot Spread appears in Chic Cicero's book, The New Golden Dawn Ritual Tarot. Cicero complicates the spread unnecessarily, so I will present a simpler method of understanding the dynamics of reading it using Elemental Dignities.
- 13
- 9
- 5
- 4
- 8
- 12
- 2
- 1
- 3
- 14
- 10
- 6
- 7
- 11
- 15
The numbering of the cards describes a spiral starting from the centre and progressing anti-clockwise.
The cards are grouped together in threes:
1 - Querent
This card represents the querent, the nature of the question or problem, and the main influences which surround him/her
2, 3 - Circumstances, personality
Along with card 1, these are the primary cards of the spread. They describe the nature of the circumstances and the personality of the Querent
4, 8, 12 - Potential Future
These cards show potential future events and influences. They show what direction the querent's life will naturally take, unless alternate steps are employed to change the course of events
5, 9, 13 - Alternative actions
These cards represent an alternative course of action that the querent may choose to take
6, 10, 14 - Psychological basis
These cards indicate the psychological basis and implications of the situation. They assist the querent in making whatever decision is needed
7, 11, 15 - Destiny or Karma
These cards show forces at work that are beyond the querent's control — destiny or karma. The querent must be able to adapt and learn from them
Elemental Attributions of the spread
There are enough clues in Cicero's definitions to attribute the elements. The centre 3 positions will be Akasha. For the other positions, they seem to be slightly modified versions of the four positions in the Opening of the Key Spread, so Destiny/Karma (7,11,15) would be Fire; Air is 6,10,14 - 'psychological basis'; Earth represents the future - 4,8,12, which leaves Water as 5,9,13. Note how inimical elements are in opposing corners.
- 1, 2, 3 Akasha
- 4, 8, 12 Earth, Future
- 5, 9, 13 Water, Emotions
- 6, 10, 14 Air, psychological basis
- 7, 11, 15 Fire, destiny karma
Hints to Reading the Spread
The centre card of each block can be treated as the Principal, and the cards around it become Modifiers, just as how we analysed Three Card Spreads in the Elemental Dignities section. We can also take into account the elemental basis. Since we have an implicit spiral in the ordering of the spread, we can assume that one of the modifiers is biased towards an earlier stage. So, for example, in the Air section, 10 is the principal, while 6 shows earlier influences and 14 indicates later influences.
When I tried this spread years ago, it never occurred to me to use Elemental Dignities, so I naturally followed the spiral order of the cards; I got very confused and gave up using the spread. As an experiment, you might try reading this spread using both methods and see which suits you most.

The Surveillance & operational reserach and the Laboratory strengthening teams are part of the Research, Evidence and Information Programme (REI) of the Public Health Division (PHD) of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community. The Research, Evidence and Information Programme is also the Focal Point of the Coordinating Body of the Pacific Public Health Surveillance Network (PPHSN).
Our first priorities are those of the network: communicable diseases, especially the outbreak-prone ones. At this stage our target diseases include: dengue, measles, rubella, influenza, leptospirosis, typhoid fever, cholera and HIV/STIs.
Wednesday 21 May 2014, Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), Noumea, New Caledonia –
A research article just published by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease reiterates the pressing need to strengthen health information in the Pacific, particularly in relation to data analysis, use and sharing.
Friday 9 May 2014, Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), Noumea, New Caledonia –
Pacific Directors of Health gave their backing last week to a comprehensive training initiative designed to develop essential national and regional competencies for the surveillance and response to current and future epidemics and other public health emergencies.
Monday 7 April 2014, Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), Noumea, New Caledonia –
The Pacific is currently experiencing a growing epidemic of diseases spread by mosquitoes. The global concern for these diseases is highlighted today, World Health Day; this year's theme is vector-borne diseases.
The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) has made a contribution to Fiji's Ministry of Health for the purchase of insecticides to carry out mosquito control interventions for the next three months.
This contribution comes in response to Honourable Minister for Health Neil Sharma's recent call for assistance from development partners to help Fiji respond to the current dengue outbreak.

By now, every reader of this blog knows that one of the biggest deals in recent memory (if not ever) just went down this morning:
Zillow, Inc. (NASDAQ: Z) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Trulia, Inc. (NYSE: TRLA) for $3.5 billion in a stock-for-stock transaction. The Boards of Directors of both companies have approved the transaction, which is expected to close in 2015.
It appears the rumors were in fact true. The reaction so far this morning might be characterized as stunned confusion, leavened with the expected amount of zaterade. For a variety of reasons, including my business relationship with Trulia, I haven't commented on the rumors. But now that it's a done deal, and I've spoken with both Greg Schwartz, Chief Revenue Officer of Zillow, and Paul Levine, Chief Operating Officer of Trulia, about the deal, I think it's worth discussing at least a little bit.
At this early stage, however, everything that isn't directly stated is conjecture. They two companies announced the acquisition; it hasn't gone through due diligence, the normal amount of litigation, and the long integration process. I'll do what I can to provide actual information, and then speculate away.

Sometimes you have to step back and look around. When I say step back not only do you have to take a larger look at the Steelers situation; you also need to look at the NFL in general. There have been great pieces on possible bye week to do lists for the Steelers. Bleacher Report had a great one and the PG Post have had nice pieces on the offense and defense. The offense seems to have gotten the most attention.
I am not comfortable how the offense's progress is being evaluated. This is going to be a long process. A new system and new play caller is a huge install. We probably will not know where the offense is until next year. It takes a while for a new system to work out the kinks most of the time. Some of the stats that have been pointed to show how the offense is doing are self defeating.
Raving about Time of Possession and 3rd Down Conversions is silly at times. When Haley was hired last year, some analyst said a more balanced approach would help with TOP. The Steelers were number 2 in TOP in 2011. Yea they are #1 so far. Is everything now okay with that one slot? The long drives this year are nothing new. The Steelers are # 1 in 3rd Down Con. this year and #4 in 2011. Yes there has been improvement but it was not an area of concern. What about scoring?
Yes scoring is up but so is everyone's. The 25.7 pts per game is a big improvement in scoring for the Steelers but their 13th ranking is in line with what they have being doing (21st - 2011, 12th - 2010, 12th - 2009, 20th - 2008 and 19th - 2007). Injuries in '11 and '08 were a pain but both were playoff years and in '08 was a Super Bowl year. That is not bad for off years. Things may look better but they are about the same. Ben is still getting thumped too.
Not going to talk about the running game. Let the team talk about that and the less I hear about how FB's and commitment to the run will work magic the better. Again the bottom line is this is going to be a long process. Time is the only way to evaluate the process. What about the Defense?
Coach LeBeau could fix every problem with the Defense and have everyone working like a machine in the current system and there still will be problems. Scoring is up and passing is insane. There was an article about tweaking the rules to help the defense on ESPN.COM. I think Coach Tomlin and LeBeau know this. With scoring the way it is in the NFL the Steelers are not alone with this problem. The bye week just gave the Steelers and early shot to work on it.
I am happy the first bye week has given the Steelers an early shot to work at their problems. I am happy week five is here.

Yucky Worms
By Vivian French
Illustrated by Jessica Ahlberg
Candlewick Press, 2010
Grades Pre-K – 3
Story with facts
"One day when I was in Grandma's garden, Grandma dug up a slimy, slither, wiggly worm.
'Yuck!" I said. "Throw it away!'"
Thank goodness Grandma refused to throw it away. The story goes on to show and tell how worms benefit the garden with its castings and hole digging. The story continues with a sassy worm inset scattered about some of the pages and relates the value of worms, which are really yucky at all. The story ends with the little boy convinced he's got lots of new friends—worms!
The back matter has worm tips, experiments, and a short index. The soft watercolor is attractive and just right for the book's feel. The text is informative and the book ran a close race for the Cybils NFPB finalist list. It's a fun read with lots of good information and one that kids will enjoy.
Get a worm using the methods described in the book or at a bait store. Moisten a paper towel and lay the worm out. Take care not to harm the worm. Use a magnifying glass to identify the parts discussed in the book. When you finish, put the worm in your own garden.
All About Earthworms has a fun site to explore.

Kuan Yin, originally known as Avalokiteswara ('the Lord who regards'), is a highly revered manifestation of the Buddha who appears in Chinese scriptures around 400 a.d. Kuan Yin means 'one who hears the cries of the world' and personifies the compassion of the Buddha for the needy. She is the embodiment of the yin principle. She is usually represented as a young female deity but she has the power to assume whatever form necessary in order to carry out her vow which is to appear in any way necessary to lead beings out of suffering. She is often shown holding a vase containing the waters of compassion. This beautiful Kuan-Yin statue is made of stone and measures 13.5 inches high. Muted colors with subtle golden highlights adds a sense of calm to the space.

Congrats ATV on your first NFL interception. I think I can speak for all of MCM when I say that we were hoping it was going to be a pick 6!! You wanted that touchdown so bad as we all did for you. Just amazing, and it set up and eventual go ahead touchdown. The ball was tipped by Dave Ball and you came flying in out of nowhere to make an exceptional play. Again congrats, could not have happened to a better person.
Say congrats to Mariani on his big return for us too, will ya?

WHAT'S ONLINE; Foie Gras on the Legislative Plate
By DAN MITCHELL
Published: October 7, 2006
''SO how did I get here, defending the killing of God's creatures?'' the celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain asks plaintively. The creatures, in this case, are ducks.
The man he's asking, a fellow celebrity chef, Michael Ruhlman, is sympathetic, but he can't help but throw in a few zingers, as when he asks Mr. Bourdain, ''So, are you just off on another of your bobble-head-doll rants?''
The conversation, solicited by Salon and conducted via e-mail, centered on how the ''food police'' are making life tough not just for famous chefs, but for the entire food industry (salon.com).
Michael J. Panter, a New Jersey legislator, has proposed a ban on the forcible feeding of ducks and geese to make foie gras -- which is produced from their fattened livers. Animal-rights activists decry the practice, called gavage. The proposal comes after a similar ban in Chicago and a proposed ban on trans fats in New York City restaurants.
The biggest problem with the proposed New Jersey law, according to Mr. Bourdain, is that the state is home to D'Artagnan, the company that started the fresh foie gras revolution in the United States two decades ago. Mr. Panter's law, according to Salon, could ''effectively cripple the production and consumption of foie gras not only in New York City's great temples of gastronomy, but in restaurants and homes around the country.''
Ariane Daguin, the founder and owner of D'Artagnan, ''is not just the foie gras lady,'' Mr. Bourdain writes, ''she was a Gertrude Stein to a veritable salon of hotshot New York chefs.''
D'Artagnan sells much more than just foie gras, offering all kinds of gourmet meats and other products. Ms. Daguin is ''a one-woman supply train for every French chef in New York and consequently any American chef with aspirations to be among the best.''
Cutting off her foie gras could mean halting that supply train, he laments.
But what about this gavage business? Isn't it wrong to ram a tube down a duck's throat to pump food into it? Sure, Mr. Bourdain writes. And not only is it bad, but it makes for bad foie gras, but ''that's not what D'Artagnan sells.''
Although the fowl is fed through a tube, Mr. Bourdain writes that in ''proper foie gras farming, the same feeder tends the duck every day, and more often than not, it's the duck who approaches the feeder.They have room to run around, to live a good, natural life -- even a pampered one -- compared with the horrifying and vastly more widespread practice of raising battery chickens.''
Battery chickens are raised in a factorylike setting, stuffed into cages, and are induced through artificial lighting to produce as many eggs as they can before they are slaughtered once their egg production levels off -- usually around 18 months. There's no law against that.
SUSTAINABILE BARGAIN? The threat of global warming could be staved off at the cost of just one year's worth of economic growth over the next four decades, according to a study by PricewaterhouseCoopers released this week (pwc.com).
But the consulting firm says its plan would work only if it is put into place immediately.
The plan itself is nothing really new -- it calls for more energy efficiency, the use of more renewable fuels and emission-reduction technologies.
''Political will, of course, is the wild card here,'' writes Jeff McIntire-Strasburg who maintains a blog (sustainablog.blogspot.com). He asks his readers if they have ''any ideas on how this might be sold to politicians eager to gain and/or retain an office?'' So far, nobody has responded.
LETTER IMPERFECT -- On its Web site, Killian & Company Advertising, which specializes in branding, offers portions of some actual cover letters from job candidates (killianadvertising.com). Cover letters are ''where we find the most tortured prose ever set to paper,'' the site says.
No kidding. Some examples: ''Who's better to spew out incite, than a college senior ... ?''; ''I also want to obtain a deeper understanding of how Advertising firms.''; and ''I also have a degree English which serves me well in editing text for poor grammer or typos.'' DAN MITCHELL

This article, dated October 18, 1985, has not been published.
Author: Donald E. Wilkes, Jr., Professor of Law, University of Georgia School of Law.
Fate is strange. Sometimes enormously different men who are or will be of great historical interest live contemporaneous lives, wholly unbeknownst to one another. During the period from 1907 until 1913, for example, two such men were living thousands of miles apart, one in Atlanta, Georgia, the other in faraway Vienna, then capital of the doomed Austro-Hungarian Empire. The two men never met, never knew one another, and had nothing in common. One, Benjamin Harvey Hill, Jr. was serving his tenure as the first Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals of Georgia, and the period was perhaps the most memorable stage of his distinguished career of service to his state and to humanity. The other man, Adolf Hitler, was a wretched, bigoted, hate-filled young man who twenty years later would seize power in German and embark on a course of dictatorial government, totalitarianism, and military aggression, topped off by government-ordered and government-authorized mass murders unequaled in this century and perhaps ever. Let us examine these two unparallel lives during the seven year period ending the year before the Sarajevo outrage unleashed a world war.
On January 2, 1907 the newly created Court of Appeals of Georgia convened for the first time and elected Benjamin H. Hill, Jr. as its Chief Judge. Hill remained in this office until November 1, 1913, when he resigned to accept another judgeship. In January 1907 Hill was 57 years old, having been born in LaGrange in Troup County on July 1, 1849. In 1866 Hill moved to Athens, where he entered the University of Georgia. While a student he lived in what is now called the Taylor-Grady House on Prince Avenue, which his father had purchased for $40,000. In 1869 he received both a B. A. and an LL. B. Between then and 1889 Hill held several federal and state offices, some elective, some appointive. From 1889 until 1907 Hill practiced law in Atlanta in partnership with his brother, C. D. Hill. In 1891 Hill published a laudatory biography of his deceased father, a former U. S. Senator from Georgia.
Thus, when he became a member of the Georgia Court of Appeals in 1907 Hill already had a distinguished career behind him. His service on the Court of Appeals was also distinguished. He wrote the first opinion of the Court, in the case of Hunter v. Lissner, 1 Ga. App. 1, 58 S. E. 54 (1907). He joined the Court in expanding in individual rights in criminal cases beyond previous Georgia Supreme Court decisions. He authored several opinions for the Court especially noteworthy in the history of liberty, rights, and justice.
The greatest of his opinions, and one of the greatest examples of magniloquence and stirring language in the annals of judicial decisions upholding freedom, is his opinion in Underwood v. State, 13 Ga. App. 206, 78 S. E. 1103 (1913). There Chief Judge Hill did two things in incomparably rich and evocative language. First, he delivered the most powerful rebuke in judicial history to the crime control philosophy that tolerates, even depends upon, violations of basic rights to combat crime. Hill wrote:
We hear and read much of the law-
lessness of the people. One of the most dangerous mani-
festations of this evil is the lawlessness of the ministers of
the law. This court fully knows and appreciates the delicate
and difficult task of those who are charged with the duty
of detecting crime and apprehending criminals, and it will
uphold them in the most vigilant legal discharge of all their
duties, but it utterly repudiates the doctrine that these duties
can not be successfully performed without the use of
illegal and despotic measures. It is not true that in the effort
to detect crime and to punish the criminal, "the end justifies
the means."
Second, in Miltonic language that in grandeur surpasses any apostrophe to freedom every written in any judicial opinion, Chief Judge Hill wrote of the inestimable and incalculable values of individual rights as follows:
They [i.e., the basic human rights protections guaranteed
in the Bill of Rights to persons charged with crime] are
the sacred civil jewels which have come down to us from
an English ancestry, forced from the unwilling hand of tyranny
by the apostles of personal liberty and personal security.
They are hallowed by the blood of a thousand struggles,
and were stored away for safekeeping in the casket of the
Constitution. It is infidelity to forget them; it is sacrilege
to disregard them; it is despotic to trample upon them.
They are given as a sacred trust into the keeping of the
courts, who should with sleepless vigilance guard these
priceless gifts of a free government.
In writing the Underwood opinion, Chief Judge Hill was attacking two criminal procedure abuses of his time. First, he was criticizing third-degree type police interrogation practices, then prevalent. Second, he was criticizing the notorious violations of the due process rights of the hapless Leo Frank, whose shamefully unfair murder trial was coming to a close when the Underwood opinion was handed down. Underwood was decided on August 15, 1913; Leo Frank was found guilty by the jury on August 25, 1913. (For more on the Underwood case, see Wilkes, Underwood v. State: Georgia's Highwater Mark in the Protection of the Basic Rights of Criminal Suspects, The Georgia Defender, p. 2 (July 1983).)
After his resignation from the Court of Appeals on November 1, 1913, Hill became a Judge of the Superior Court of Fulton County in Atlanta. He remained in office for nearly six years. In 1918 he was defeated for reelection by a margin of 22 votes. He lost because of the operation of two powerful groups, one of whom thought Hill was too lenient on criminals, the other of whom thought Hill was too harsh on criminals. In 1920 Hill was elected to the Georgia Court of Appeals; he served as an Associate Judge there until his death from heart disease in Atlanta on July 19, 1922.
Judge Hill was a warm, family man with many friends. He appears to have been revered by all. He suffered defeats and setbacks in his lifetime, of course. But his public and private service and his sublime prose in defense of liberty lift him to the happy immortality of the great protectors of justice and rights. The University of Georgia and the State of Georgia have every right to be proud of their son, Judge Benjamin H. Hill, Jr. (The official Memorial to Judge Hill may be found at 29 Ga. App. 801 (1923).)
On the other hand, ever reasonable person with a conscience is horrified by the cruel and bloody life of that psychopath, Adolf Hitler. In 1922, when Judge Hill died, Hitler was just another obscure right-wing Bavarian politician. During the time Hill was Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, Hitler was a total obscurity, living a more or less down and out life in Vienna. Until recently, little was known about Hitler's sojourn in Vienna. The matter was treated as a chapter or section in a Hitler biography. Since the 1950's, however, significant new information has appeared. The most significant development yet was the publication in 1983 of J. Sydney Jones's Hitler in Vienna, 1907-1913. This book is more than a masterful account of Hitler's wanderings and doings and rantings in Vienna; it is a complete study of Viennese culture, art, music, and society during those crucial pre-World War I years.
Hitler arrived in Vienna in late September 1907, at the age of 18; he left permanently for Munich on May 24, 1913 aged 24.
In Vienna Hitler lived sometimes as an impoverished would-be student; but most of the time he was not a student but simply one of the homeless mass of dislocated urban poor, occasionally sleeping on benches in parks, inadequately clothed, staying in homes for the poor, eating at soup kitchens, carrying travelers's baggage for tips. He displayed unremitting hostility to almost everything except power and domination and hatred and prejudice. He read and agreed with virulent anti-Semitic and racist pamphlets. He espoused the crudest forms of Social Darwinism. He flew into rages. He orated incessantly. He was lazy and spiteful. He developed no normal relationships with men or women. He had no true friends. He could brook no disagreement with his loathsome attitudes. That is, he himself was (to quote Judge Hill) a "most dangerous manifestation of ... evil." In short, the foundations were there, once he achieved governmental power, for the Holocaust, tyranny, and another world war. However, the term that perhaps best describes Hitler during his Vienna period (as well as during the rest of his evil, miserable life) is psychopathia sexualis.
In ancient times there was not one but three Fates. The Fate who spun the thread of life was Clotho; her symbol was the spindle. Fate did some strange spinning from 1907 to 1913. In the United States, in Georgia, a distinguished jurist at the apogee of his distinguished career nobly and eloquently advanced the cause of freedom. At the same time, across the ocean, in the grinding poverty of Viennese flophouses, a lonely, psychopathic hater was beginning a career devoted to crushing human rights and inflicting death and torture-a career devoted to trampling upon liberty and justice. Why? Why did Fate arrange that these two entirely different men should occupy some of the same points in time (from 1889, when Hitler was born, until 1922, when Hill died), and that both should share the years 1907 to 1913 as a particularly important stage of their vastly different lives?
Fate is definitely strange.

About Gold Jewelry Refining
The process of refining gold jewelry is perhaps the most critical and misunderstood aspect in the current gold-trading industry.
Gold jewelry, be it class rings, bracelets, lockets, earrings or chains, are actually not pure gold. These items are mixed with copper, silver and other metals. In order for Cash4Gold to sell gold in its purest state, the gold must be separated from these other metals through the process known as refining.
Jewelry refining is a complicated yet sophisticated process best performed by experts using state-of-the-art technology. And Cash4Gold strives to educate its customers on every aspect of the business.
While there are many ways to refine gold jewelry, the following process is the most effective; though it should be noted that the Cash4Gold refining process is effortless in more ways than one. Aside from their relentless commitment to customer service and availability, the often difficult refining process includes the safe and proper storage of refining materials and emission and pollution standards.
Following the standard Cash4Gold steps, items submitted to Cash4Gold are processed, documented and submitted to the refinery.
The first step of jewelry refining involves the melting down of the metals. This allows the gold to homogenize, which is quickly followed by an ice bath to reduce the particle size.
Once this process is complete, jewelry refiners separate the gold. Upon the melting and cooling of the jewelry, the remaining bars contain copper, silver, gold and other metals. These bars are then dissolved in a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid to reduce particle size. The nitric acid attacks copper and silver and over a period of six to twelve hours, the metals are turned into a liquid.
This process is also known as the Aqua Regia Process and can result in gold of up to 99.99 percent purity. The resale value of gold depends on its purity.
This process results in a rust-colored, highly acidic liquid. A jewelry refiner will then add urea to the liquid to neutralize the solution before the gold can be separated. Once neutralized, the jewelry refinery process gasses the acid using a bubbling sulfur dioxide into the "pregnant solution" or the material impregnated with gold. As the gas bubbles, the gold drops to the bottom of the tank. When all the gold drops to the bottom, the solution contains copper and silver remains.
This solution is then forwarded into a waiting tank. The bottom of the tank contains a "yellowish" sludge material that is actually gold. It is optimal that following precipitation, the solution rests at least overnight. This would allow gold particles to settle as sludge on the bottom. The residue liquid can then be skimmed off and the remaining portion with the gold filtered.
The gold is approximately 99 percent pure, but still needs to be washed with a sulfuric acid to clean out all remaining silver and copper. A highly-sophisticated filtering system allows de-ionized water to wash the material. This process results in a cake of gold powder. The powder is finally melted at a temperature of 2,200 degrees and poured into bars.
The final process in refining gold jewelry is to remove the copper and silver. Despite the previous complex process, some silver and copper still remains and must be treated. The silver is removed by using chemicals that remove the ammonia and raise the pH level of the liquid. A coagulant material is added to pull out small particles of copper. All that remains is a muddy cake of copper. The remaining liquid is then put through a polishing filter. After this, the remaining liquid is salty water.
Need Jewelry Refining
From time to time, some jewelers who attempt the process of jewelry refining themselves are discouraged with the amount of time and resources wasted considering the amount of gold recovered. It is entirely possible that the jewelers may not be dissolving all of the gold fully in the first step or not precipitating all the gold in the reducing step.
Similar to other refining methods, strong acids require special handling in the Aqua Regia process. Understanding the risks involved in this process is crucial. It is highly recommended that if this process is to be undertaken that trained chemists are available and facilities are safe.
All of the previously mentioned refining methods require the implementation of a safety plan. This could include obtaining permits and special licensing by the Environmental Protection Agency. For these reasons and more, it is often safer-and more cost-effective-to rely on experts in refined jewelry like Cash4Gold.
It doesn't make financial sense, in most cases, to spend more money on processing costs when it doesn't result in a reasonable amount of recovered metals. When the cost of in-house refining is compared, on average, to the amount of metals recovered (gold and other metals) by an outside refinery, it makes more sense to rely on the process of refining gold jewelry to a commercial refiner like Cash4Gold.
Cash4Gold prices are determined by melt value (intrinsic value). Melt value refers to the amount of gold, platinum, or silver that can be extracted/recycled from a piece of jewelry. Melt value is determined by the weight, quality, and daily price of the precious metal in question.

Interesting Facts about the Chromebook Pixel You Didn't Know
It can natively open Office .doc and .docx files. There's a Quick Office app for Pixel that can do that.
The photo app reads everything from SD and cloud and can upload directly to Google+ at full res. It is also touch optimized and fully native.
Windows auto-arrange and resize.
The Pixel allows custom bootloaders, allowing for easy dual boot to Linux.
Between Pixlr, We Video, and Quick Office/Drive, I think most user's productivity needs are covered.

After losing corner/nickle back Kelvin Hayden to a season ending injury, we speculated that the Chicago Bears would look at pick up a potential veteran replacement. Earlier today they did so by adding 8 year veteran Derrick Martin.
Martin was a 6th rd pick of #Ravens in 2006. Has played for them, Packers, Giants and Patriots. Gives team vet to consider for nickel.— Brad Biggs (@BradBiggs) August 11, 2013
Martin is billed as a safety, but he has played nickle, and he has special teams experience as well. The 5' 10" 180 pound Martin only played in five games last season for the Patriots, but in 2011 he appeared in 14 games for the Giants. In seven years he's played in 66 games with 4 starts.
To make room for Martin, the Bears waived safety Cyhl Quarles.

This is a 7 part series. I will begin with round 1 and continue to post right through round 7 over the course of the next week
Round 1 has been one of the very controversial rounds on BTSC. We all know what we need: OG, OT, CB, and NT are our major needs. We all know that Colbert takes the BPA in round 1 as well. We also know that picking at 31, their is a lot of uncertainty about who will and won't be available. Lets take a look at some prospects that I think the Steelers will have on their board in round 1:
1. Mike Pouncey, OG, Florida: Pouncey is the best guard in the class and many say he will not be available when we pick. But I don't recall the last time (excluding Iupati who was just an exceptional prospect) a guard with no positional flexibility has went in the middle or latter portion of round 1. However, Mike's draft stock will be elevated by some teams because of his brother's success. If Mike is available, even though I would want somebody else, I think the Steelers will take him. Other teams that could look at Mike are the Bucs, Giants, Eagles, and Bears.
2. Brandon Harris, CB, Miami: Harris is the 3rd best corner in this year's draft (IMO) due to his great speed, athleticisim, ball skills, instincts, and tackling. While he is only 5-9, he makes up for his lack of height with a 41" vertical leap and a nose for the football. Harris is an incredible tackler and thrives in press man coverage (Alistar, I know you are going to tell me he is not good in press coverage but he played press coverage his entire year at UM). This would be my ideal 1st round pick for the Steelers. Other teams that could look at him are the Lions, Eagles, Seahawks, and Ravens.
3. Phil Taylor, NT, Baylor: Taylor is by far the best NT in the draft. He has incredible size and speed and has a great ability to eat up multiple blocks and still collapse the pocket. He has seen his stock rise incredibly over the last month and likely won't be available when we pick. Even if he is, I could see the Steelers going in another direction. Other teams that will look at Taylor are the Texans, Chiefs, and Jets.
4. Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi State: Sherrod is the 4th best tackle in this draft and if he is available, I would be happy taking him. He excels in pass blocking but is also strong enough to be a good run blocker. He works hard and has good footwork and could become a very good tackle in the NFL. Other teams that could look at him are the Patriots, Giants, Colts, Eagles, Falcons, and Bears.
5. Rahim Moore, FS, UCLA: Moore is the best safety by far in this draft class. He has great size and speed and has a nose for the football. I give him a 1st round grade due to his ability to become a stud FS. He would likely push Ryan Clark right away for the starting spot. He will almost definitely be available when we pick.
6. Anthony Costanzo, OT, Boston College: Costanzo is the 5th best tackle in the draft and has great potential. He could play either tackle spot and if we don't retain Colon, then tackle becomes a pretty big need. Costanzo works hard and loves to compete. Other teams that could look at him are the Colts, Patriots, and Bears.
7. Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado: This is how low I have Smith. Even though he is extremely talented, he is just too big of a headcase to be the Steelers pick. I honestly don't think the Steelers will even look at him but if we take him and get him to focus on football, he will be a great player. If he keeps acting like a thug, he will be traded away very fast. Other teams that will look at him are the Lions, Eagles, and Seahawks.
8. Marcus Cannon, OG, TCU: Cannon is a massive guard that is also very athletic. He would be a huge upgrade at RG and, IMO, is very close to Mike Pouncey's talent level. He is coming off a great combine performance and would be a decent pick in the 1st round.
That wraps up the list of players I think the Steelers should look at in the 1st round. Other possibilities are Cameron Heyward and Ras I Dowling, but I see Dowling as a 2nd round pick
Who do you want in the 1st round?

April is stress awareness month but managing the stress in your life can be challenging. One of the best ways to combat the signs of stress - insomnia, eating disorders, anxiety, panic attacks, and circulatory problems, is to getaway.
1. Travel reduces stress. A heart study showed that women who took only one vacation every six years or less were almost 8 times more likely to have a heart attack. Men who didn't take vacation had a 32% higher chance of dying from a heart attack then those who did take vacations.
2. Travel offers improved performance and rest. A sleep study showed within 2-3 days of starting vacation participants sleep an average of an hour longer, and their reaction times improved 80%.
3. Travel can save you time and money. You will save money in the long run on medical bills, sick days, and the illnesses caused by stress that can take over your life.
It is easy to see why an overwhelming number of people who travel at least once a year feel they are happier and more fulfilled.
Top 3 Ways to Reduce Stress While Traveling
Deciding to go on vacation to reduce stress is one of the best things you can do for yourself, however it can be stressful. 44% of American's feel flying is stressful, and 41% feel it is frustrating. To keep stress from taking over your vacation you can do the following:
1. Consider your destination carefully. Think about whether or not you want to be with a group, and how active you want to be;
2. Arrive at the airport early and pack light to avoid any delays or issues at the security checkpoints; and
3. Have the right attitude. No matter what happens remember you are on vacation. Take a deep breath and relax.

The mother and step-grandmother of a newborn taken from a hospital and then returned have been arrested. Police are now looking for a third woman. Kennett police report that 28-year-old Amber Trammell and 47-year-old Laura Stone of Paragould were arrested. Stone is Trammell's stepmother. Police are currently searching for another suspect, 49-year-old Melissa Howard, also of Paragould. Kennett police Lt. Tim Trowbridge says the baby was taken around 4 a.m. today/Wednesday from the Twin Rivers Regional Medical Center. The baby was born around 2:30 a.m. The mother, Trammell, is accused of facilitating the abduction with the help of Stone and Howard. Someone allegedly held the security doors of the OB unit open preventing the security device on the baby's ankle from activating the door lock. Officers searched for the child and made contact with Stone over a cell phone. She returned the newborn around 7:30 a.m. and was arrested. Trammell was arrested after being released from the hospital around 9 a.m.
They are being charged with child endangerment. Trowbridge says the baby was being transferred to a newborn care unit outside the Kennett area.

I've not heard a lot about Tim Walton so I went searching to see what I could find. It's not easy to find much about him, but I struck gold when I found this article. It's written better than I could so I'm just going to paste it in.
(KSDK SPORTS) - The St. Louis Rams issued the following release to the public Friday morning:
By: Kevin Held
"Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher has hired Tim Walton to serve as the team's defensive coordinator, the Rams announced Friday.
"I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to add Coach Walton to our staff," Fisher said. "Tim is a talented coach and he's spent the last four years working in our system. He will be a huge asset to our staff and we are all looking forward to working with him."
The 2013 season will be Walton's 19th in coaching. He spent the last four years with the Detroit Lions where he guided the team's secondary, and last season, he added the title of third down package coach. Walton helped Detroit finish 10th in the NFL last season in third down defense as the Lions allowed opponents to convert just 36.5 percent of their third down attempts.
Prior to his time in Detroit, Walton spent 14 seasons coaching on the collegiate level. During that time, he coached 13 players who were eventually drafted into the NFL, including five first round picks and four second round picks.
Walton's college tenure included two stints as a defensive coordinator. He held the position at Memphis in 2008 and at Miami (Fla.) in 2007. In total, he spent four seasons with the Hurricanes. Walton was promoted from secondary coach to defensive coordinator in 2007 and helped propel the defense to a national ranking of 33rd in total defense. In his first three seasons at Miami, he coached the defensive backs and the Miami secondary ranked in the top 10 nationally in pass defense in 2004 (ninth) and 2005 (first).
In 2005, Walton's pass defense led the nation, allowing only 152.17 yards per game, and featured All-Americans safety Brandon Meriweather and cornerback Kelly Jennings as well as Freshman All-American Kenny Phillips.
Walton was at LSU in 2003 and his defensive backs were a key factor in the Tigers earning the 2003 BCS National Championship and a Southeastern Conference title. The LSU defense ranked among the nation's top three in four-of-five major defensive statistical categories: total defense (first, 252.0 yards per game), scoring defense (first, 11.0 ppg), pass efficiency defense (second, 89.8 rating) and rushing defense (third, 67.0 yards per game). Additionally, LSU ranked 18th nationally in passing yardage defense (185.0 ypg) while leading the SEC in four of the five defensive categories, including a No. 2 ranking in the league in pass defense.
In his first stint with Memphis (2000-01), Walton coached defensive backs. In 2000, the Tigers ranked fifth in the nation in total defense (first in rush defense), allowing only 275 yards per game and placed in the top 15 nationally in passing and scoring defense. He left Memphis to coach defensive backs at Syracuse for the 2002 season.
Walton began his coaching career as a defensive graduate assistant at Bowling Green in 1995. He was promoted to running backs coach in 1996 and then moved to coach the defensive backs in 1999.
In addition to his collegiate coaching experience, Walton has had three summer internships with NFL teams. He spent the summer of 1998 serving as a defensive intern with the Chicago Bears, the summer of 2001 as a defensive intern for the Green Bay Packers and in 2004 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers under current Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin.
As a defensive back at Ohio State, Walton lettered four seasons and served as co-captain for the Big Ten champions in 1993. During his time with the Buckeyes, OSU went to four bowl games, including the Liberty Bowl in 1990. He earned his bachelor's degree in sociology from OSU in 1994. "
Tim Walton knows how to coach a defense! I find it interesting that he was a defensive back at Ohio State and lettered all four years and was co-captain on the 1993 Big Ten championship team. I also find it encouraging that he interned with Chicago, Green Bay, and Tampa. That's a great way to learn about coaching a defense.
I think our defense will take the next step and I have to give credit to Fisher and the FO for finding and hiring this great coach!
It looks like our defense and offense will make big strides this year!
Thanks for reading!

|Saoirse Ronan
The 19-year-old actress was rumoured to be starring in the three part fantasy adventure, directed by Peter Jackson - whom she had previously worked with on 'The Lovely Bones' - but decided it would be better to focus on other projects.
She said:"There was talks about me playing the wood elf Itaril but I had to turn it down. I was really disappointed but there were other projects I had to consider and to spend a year doing 'The Hobbit' wouldn't have left me time for anything else."
The Irish star is currently filming Ryan Gosling's 'How to Catch a Monster, which she is finding "a bit twisted", and also has a string of other films in the pipeline.
She added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I'm filming 'How to Catch a Monster', which is Ryan Gosling's writing and directing debut and it's cool, dark and a bit twisted, too. It's about an underwater town, and the struggles of the characters living in this dilapidated place. And I'm in 'Violet & Daisy', in which I play a hit girl.
"'How I live Now' and 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' are all coming out in the next year. Then I'm due to play Mary Queen of Scots in a movie about her starting soon."

My wife has roped me into a Barry Manilow concert tonight, so I thought that since all the talk around the sports world is going to be about the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony, we might as well have an open thread about that.
Feel free to talk about anything else you want to in here besides the London Olympics as long as it's sports-related. Here are some suggestions:
- The North Carolina academic scandal continues to deepen
- Neil Reed, the IU player that was the beginning of the end for Bob Knight, dies prematurely at 36. Our prayers go out to his family
- Is Andrew Wiggins to be part of a package deal?
- Coming soon to a gym in Lexington: Nerlens Noel
- Remember the article I did about Archie Goodwin? Here's some more detail at CoachCal.com

Draft Strategy
Hi all, another newbie. As soon as the Bills showed interest in Bryant Johnson, I guessed they would take a CB first. I still think they will and I hope DRCromartie is available. 6'1, 4.33 and the most upside. This man will be an outstanding pro. Jenkins is 5'9. The CB pool is not nearly as deep as the WR pool. My guess is CB, WR, TE, C. I would have pursued Troupe better. Overall I like the direction. I do feel we're gaining. Andre Davis would be on my team. A good friend told me that Joe Delamielleure made the comment that last years offensive line blocking schemes were badly outdated. Easily defensed. I agree. I expect to see a much better functioning O line this fall. Now if only Trent can learn to play in cold weather. I would definitely have him practicing in Buffalo in the winter until he feels ok.

Free Muni for kids
Sup. David Campos is talking about offering free Muni rides for some of San Francisco's youth, and he'd like free passes for all school kids next year. That's a great way for the city to work with SFUSD; the school district spends a huge amount of money on buses. In fact, transportation is the second biggest item in the district's budget (after salaries). There ought to be a way for kids (above a certain age; maybe fifth grade) who now take SFUSD buses to get on Muni instead.
And let me tell you all a little secret: Most of the middle-school kids who ride Muni never pay anyway. They all pile on the bus after school and some have passes and some don't and the driver can't possibly keep up with who's got what when 50 young people are climbing aboard all at once.
So if we can let them all ride free we can save money for the schools, which can go into the classrooms, and make life easier on the drivers and kids who can avoid the crazy scramble.
And if we can't do that, or if the city wants some sort of reimbursement, there's an easy solution: Sell Muni passes in the schools. Not to get too bureaucratic, but SFUSD already keeps track of family income levels (that's how they do the free lunches) and it wouldn't be that hard to issue Clipper cards that allow low-income kids to ride free. Kids who can afford it would get a card at the beginning of the year and their parents could put money on it at the Clipper web site (or the kids could do it themselves with a machine in the school office.)
I know it sounds complicated, but it's way more complicated now; you have to take your kid in person to buy a youth pass and present a birth certificate. Way easier to do it at the schools, where that data is already in the system. A good deal for all: SFUSD agrees to devote one staffer at each middle and high school to the (part-time) job of issuing bus cards, and in exchange SFUSD students get to ride Muni free or cheap -- and SFUSD gets to cut its transportation budget.
Why is this not a no-brainer?
Good idea, but all kids should be free, not just the ones who come from poor families. And what about Private Schools, are they a lesser class who still have to pay?
If you can afford private school for your precious ones, you can afford to give them busfare unless you're cheapskates.
I fully support free MUNI for kids. Not just b/c it gets SFUSD a little relief, but mostly because it encourages kids to get used to riding MUNI. This has long-term positive consequences for our city as we grow generations of kids that are comfortable with public transportation. It's being done in LA and NYC, and seems to be working for them.
They wouldn't have to take the bus. And MUNI wouldn't have to worry about subsidizing their transportation.
The solution? End the lottery and allow kids to attend the school nearest to where they live.
Why is this not a no-brainer?
"allow kids to attend the school nearest to where they live."
You mean, *force* kids to attend the school nearest to where they live.
Some people really wish it was the 50's again.
The "woman" you're responding to has a stick about a mile up "her" butt. Good luck with "her".
Neighborhood schools = Jim Crow.
Commenter = has stick up her ass.
Tell that to the Chinese parents who occupied the school district headquarters because they were so furious their kids endured an hour long commute to school each way, every day. Those parents really should have been wearing white sheets and carrying a noose! Because people who want their children close to them are really nothing more than racists!
It appears you're the one with no substance.
Bon, you're a bit of an ass, you obviously do not have to drive your kids across town every morning and pick them up every evening, but none the less, come out with a very profound statement like that, welllllllllllllllllllllllllllll done!
The current lottery system - where you are basically not allowed to go to the school in your hood is WORKING WONDERS for the kids of SF. Yes, please maintain the status quo by labeling everyone racist if they want to be able to send their kids to the neighborhood school and driving most folks who would actually be involved in their kids' schools away from SF public schools.
Man, have you ever been on a bus with middle-school kids? They're always loud and obnoxious and snacking. Nobody's going to want to ride Muni after this.
This bears repeating because the proponents of neighborhood schools want to speak in pleasant euphemisms.
You guys don't want to "allow" kids to attend the schools closest to their homes. You want to FORCE kids to attend schools closest to their homes. Isn't that correct?
Let's call this what it really is: segregation.
Yep force kids to attend the closest to their home, how is that segregation.
I am sure your world view wants to see SF as a segregated city but it is not.
So by making kids attend their local school you would raise the level of schools like John Muir, and Starr King General Ed, and Daniel Webster, as all these schools have some nice housing in their catchment area, like Alamo Square and Portero Hill.
But carry on making the argument that this is segregation 'cause that verifies your Weltanschauung.
San Francisco is made up of many neighborhoods that have their own "distinctive" "flavor," such as Chinatown, Bayview, the Castro, Western Addition, the Marina, etc. What you'll find if you take off your blinders and open your eyes, is that each of these neighborhoods are defined by the price of their homes first, and by the types of occupants that can AFFORD the prices. This translates into segregation, which translates into each neighborhood school's demographic makeup.
Now that the city has provided all of the new bike lanes with more to come, why can't kids ride their bikes to school. This method of getting to school would also cut down the problem of childhood obesity and it's totally GREEN! A real Win Win deal for all concerned.
Most of us who are older attended neighborhood schools. When all the kids in a neighborhood go to the same school, the parents hear about the teachers from their neighbors and other kids. The school is central focus of the neighborhood and is close enough for parents to be closely involved with PTA, as well as being able to walk to school fairs, science fairs, school plays, etc.
Siblings stay together. Kids can walk to and from school. No bussing for the racial beancounters.
The sixties are over and people really need to move on.
The problem with neighborhood schools is that we still have segregated neighborhoods in SF; some racial segregation, lots of socio-economic segregation. Schools in wealthier neighborhoods will have more money and programs, since rich parents have the resources (and often the time) to put into the schools their kids attend. Schools in poor neighborhoods will be second-class operations.
Because the reality is that SFUSD doesn't have the money to provide all the programs the schools need, so parents have to chip in. Parents at my daughter's public school raise the money to pay for smaller classrooms and a Spanish language teacher. And since the school is very diverse, and has poor kids and (some) pretty rich kids, the parents with more money contribute and all the students benefit.
Diversity -- including ethnic and economic diversity -- makes a school better. You can't get there today, sadly, with purely neighborhood schools.
And I'm all in favor of kids biking to school. Doesn't work for younger kids, though; I won't let my son ride his bike alone on city streets until I'm convinced he's paying enough attention not to get hit by a car. Seventh grade, maybe.
Tim, agree with much of what you say. Would you let your kid ride Muni to school? Sadly, many parents would not. As for the earlier comment regarding the negative behavior of kids on the buses, part of our job is to teach children and adults the right way to ride public transport. We don't do much of that now, but if a preponderance of kids took Muni, then that should be part of the program.
Perpetuating the myth that SF is segregated validates your argument. However SF is by no means segregated. Possibly I'll buy Pac Heights and Sea Cliff are (but lets face it they will never send their kids to Public school).
But most areas in SF you will find all sorts of housing within a school catchment, for instance Starr King, Daniel Webster, John Muir have a very diverse social economic demographic. Even McKinley has a variety of renters and owners in its catchment area.
So your argument is not valid.
If you look at the local economy if you want people to stay in SF we have to educate the kids to get good paying jobs. With the current state of our schools kids will be leaving the city when they graduate as they won't be qualified for the jobs of the future. I have been making this argument for the last 20 years, yet SF schools are still not focused on ensuring all kids go to college, and so they fight for the few construction jobs left.
Please sign my petition to encourage David Campos to run for mayor of SF (see link below). Thank you!
