[B]# The Jets are prepared to dump a truckload of money on the doorstep of Steelers guard Alan Faneca when free-agency begins.
This is great news even if we dont sign him. It shows that the focus will be on fixing the OLINE at any cost. I seriously doubt we land Fanaca but I am encouraged that we will fix the OLINE through the draft. This is a breathe of fresh air from years past when obvious problems were not obvious to the FO.

Apart from finding a spouse, choosing the right home integrator (aka installer, custom electronics pro, electronics systems contractor) might be one of the most important relationship decisions we ever have to make. We're not just purchasing components, we could be entering into a long-term relationship. Then again, it is a serious investment, with workers occupying our inner sanctum, and fervent dreams of push-button ease and high-definition glory.
So we need to go in with our eyes wide open, understanding the essential topics that must be broached, ones that can enlighten and empower us when we're ready to close the deal.
To help guide our readers in their future projects, we have hereby attempted to narrow down this list of questions that cut to the chase, formulated to elicit the answers homeowners need to make informed choices.
1. What are the integrators' training and certifications?
The technology of electronic home integration has never been more sophisticated, and not all of the professionals out there are fully qualified for the projects they take on. Some potential clients are lured only by the lowest bid and don't take the time to ensure that the people working on their home have undergone the necessary training for the job. They just take it on faith that the work will be done correctly, which can be a costly assumption in the long run. A well-trained installer is proud of his credentials and won't hesitate to share them!
2. Does the integrator have references, specifically on projects of similar size and scope?
References are the lifeblood of the home integrator. A job well-done for a happy homeowner is the ultimate "win," and so the thumbs-up from a previous customer—one not unlike yourself—is a great way for the client to establish a comfort level by proving that the integrator has successfully completed similar projects. Again, this information should be freely offered, so don't be afraid to ask.
3. Do they have photographs of completed projects?
Word of mouth is one thing, but a picture is worth a thousand of 'em, right? Apart from the beauty of the finished product, a photograph conveys important sub-text: The homeowner thought enough of the work—and the company behind it—to allow them back to take photos, and everyone can preen over the results. But strictly on face value, photographs will show the quality of work and attention to detail that the integrator puts into his projects.

We've waved goodbye to the traditional ballerina bun. Instead, this season's must have hair style is in fact, the knot. Not only was it seen all over the catwalk for Spring/Summer but it's been making an appearance on the red carpet too.
Unlike the bun, the knot comes in a variety of shapes and forms to suit every occasion, wardrobe and face shape. At Chanel, the loose, dishevelled knots were accessorised of course with a clasic, signature but oversized Chanel pearl. Taking the casual knot and making it a chic affair.
"The beauty of this season's knot is in the surprise of the detail. From the front, the style looks simple and predictable, yet from behind, the sculpted or detailed is a refreshing change from the ponytail or bun" hairstylist Adam Reed told us.
In this week's Grazia: knots are the new buns
A classic example of this is the Sumo inspired knot that we saw at the Gucci S/S 13 show which was a much more directional style. The hair was super vinyl in texture and appearance and pulled back into a sculpted Sumo-like knot, matching the glamourous evening wear of the collection perfectly.
On the red carpet, Sienna Miller, Jessica Alba and Bella Thorne have all demonstrated how to work the knot for a star-studded event effortlessly. Take a look at the gallery above to see the top 10 knots of the season and see if you can be inspired to ditch your usual go-to bun in favour of what looks set to be this season hottest hair style. Go on, get knotted!

Jun 18, 2011Best Legend of Zelda Game! Twilight Princess is not only creative but fun and addicting. The story is great and is easy to dive into while the whole mechanics of the game flows perfectly!
Apr 26, 2011A beautiful outro to an unforgettable video game console. Pros: Excels beyond Ocarina of Time with its stunning graphics, control, camera, and audio; varied gameplay. Cons: The Wii's excellent fishing controls is missed.
Feb 26, 2013For me Twilight Princess fells like a not as good as expected, clone of OoT. Everything reminds me of OoT expect that it is not made as good as in OoT. Its comes out of the short end.
Dec 3, 2011i picked this game up the day i got my wii and man i enjoyed the hell out of it. i spent some days staying up till 4 in the morning playing it its that fun.
Jan 17, 2012I loved Twilight Princess, it had some dark themes just as Majoras Mask did which i would like to see more of. The boss fights were fantastic in this one, they had a very epic feeling to them and the dungeons were modestly challenging too
Jul 18, 2013I have no idea why people say its bad for Zelda game! It had outstanding graphics for a gamecube game. The fighting style in this game is so much better than any other game and made me feel so bad ass. It's definitely a great new adventure and has cool new weapons and armor you wouldnt expect. The wolf parts couldve been alittle more fun but it was still an interesting addition the game, especially when you got to choose to be the wolf whenever you want. I'd say this is the most amazing zelda game out there, next to Oot.… Expand
Aug 6, 2013Wow! Just wow!
If you're looking for a great Zelda experience, this is it! Never have I played a more amazing Zelda titles since Ocarina of Time! This game takes the elements that we loved about Ocarina of Time and mixes it up into something completely different whil still retaining what we loved so much from the N64 masterpiece. This personally one of my favorite Zelda titles!
This is one of the Gamecube's masterpieces! It is a must-have, and superior to the Wii version!… Expand
May 25, 2014This is the best Zelda game I've played, Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time (Some of the best in the series according to others) just weren't as good compared to Twilight Princess in my opinion. The dungeons were creative and fun and the puzzles weren't to easy or extremely hard. The boss battles were also not to easy or too challenging. The NPCs had personality instead of feeling bland. But mostly the game had a great story line and focused the game around it. I've ranked this game #2 in my Top games list, it was just that good… Expand
Nov 13, 2011Twilight Princess is a hallmark in game design, Hyrule is huge, and the people appear to carry out everyday activities, and it looks stunning. She controls are spot on, as they flow nicely with great precision, and the story is decisively darker, and the game benefits greatly from it. Twilight Princess is the best game since Ocarina of Time.
Feb 8, 2014Better than the Wii version, which the wiimote didn't work as well as I'd hoped for. This is a darker grittier zelda game and absorbs you in its fantasy.
Mar 18, 2011"For Zelda is only 1 game with a 'Million' Dresses," - Ben Yahtzee Crosshaw
I ahve to agree, sometimes there's a water mechanic, a 3d machanic, a sidescrollin' mechanic, a transformation mechanic, a music machanic, a 1st person mechanic, ECT ECT, But by this point we've seen all the dressed and now they're just old ugly peices of fabric that no-one wants to look at it anymore, and when I was going to recap this game so I could review, I beat it within 7 hours and didn't bother caring about anything, so I can't give a Game I didn't give a **** about a score, can I?… Expand
Apr 12, 2012In my opinion, the best zelda game, and for that matter, the best game ever created. I have played every game in the series but Twilight Princess beats them all by FAR. It had the best story and there was much more focus on it than in other games. The characters were amazing aswell, most especially Midna. Finally a helper that's got not only a good personality but a real backstory and character development. The cutscenes and the music are both absolutley terrific. Several times i found myself having goosebumps due to the sheer brilliance of certain cutscenes. This is the only game that has got to me so intently. Not even other Zelda games can match up to it. The wolf sections and the concept of Twilight are two things that i especially enjoyed alot. On top of all this, it's also got the best graphics and enemy/character design of any game in the series. The main reason for why none of the other Zelda games can match up to TP in my opinion is the lack of story focus. In OoT for example you get a handful of words and then you set out to several temples. Wind Waker had the same problem, cutscenes were too few. The only Zelda game that can somewhat compare to TP would be Majora's Mask.… Expand
Aug 5, 2013This is probably one of my favorites if not my favorite game of all time, this is the game that convinced me that Nintendo was still alive and kicking. Great Story, Great Combat, Great Characters, Memorable dungeons, Lengthy, lots of exploring to do in dungeons, a truly great game.
Nov 29, 2011Didn't live up to the hype, didn't innovate any game mechanics for the series and had nothing that defined it from the other games. It is also the most boring game in the series with little to do outside the main storyline. Half assed mechanics like the wolf mode and twilight realm demonstrate that the game is half finished. Its still a good game but a horrible Zelda game and anybody praising it as the best in the series is kidding themselves because Twilight Princess will surely fade into obscurity as soon as the next big Zelda game is released.… Expand
Dec 7, 2011Great game, great story. Kind of what I expect in a Zelda game. Though, it's no match to Ocarina of Time or The Wind Waker. One of the games that you can't miss. What was special about this game though were the natural controls. It feels very natural - also an element that most Zelda games have, though this Wii-experience particularly stood out.
Nov 15, 2012After years of taking mediocre zelda games like Wind Waker we finally get to see a Zelda game the way it was meant to be seen. The game is just as epic as Ocarina of Time, including great dungeons, puzzles, atmosphere, and an incredible story. The game is also very long, possibly the longest Zelda game of all. The music is incredible and match with it's beautiful environment. If you are a fan looking for a game that meets the expectations of Ocarina of Time, then this is a must own game.… Expand
May 29, 2012One of the worst modern Zelda game in my opinion. Maybe is cool in the Wii as a hardware demo but in the Gamecube, there is no sense. This game lacks a lot of originality. Wind Waker was something different, this is the same game as ever. At least, if Nintendo had made it a little bit harder would be better. Also, the wolf moments are just terrible and incredibly boring. On the good side, the rest of the game is at good level. The dungeons are fun as always and the villages are beautiful.… Expand
Sep 3, 2014The amount of hate over the years for this game is incredible. I can't understand why so many people didn't like it. Although, I do admit the Wolf sections were pretty lame... but unique. The rest of the game shines, easily making it into my top 5 Zelda games of all time. The longest game in the series, and the darkest, Twilight Princess is a must-play for any Zelda fan or anyone who wants to get into the series. (The GC version is apparently regarded as superior to the Wii version by many... Sure, superior... because of the controls... Anything else? No? Ok then...)… Expand
Jan 22, 2014The concept is there, the world is there. but the feeling isn't... I mean good story and grapichs? Go buy a movie guys... The sound is amazing as always and it's a big world but nothing to discover. It could just have been a savanah or a desert. wouldn't make any difference. Earlier Zelda games you could discover so much more and get rewarded for it. I don't feel like I'm getting rewarded at all. And the mini games aren't so amusing either.... Just a shame to it's name. To easy, to boring. Nothing to do. The story is great and the idé of darkness it's all there yet so empty.… Expand
Dec 13, 2013Great game with good pacing, beautiful landscapes, well made story, exciting and interactive open world, and a good balance in dungeon/side quest difficulty!
Feb 13, 2014I love this game of the series. I enjoyed it so much that I even played it over and over again. I know there are some that hate this game because of how dark it was. I understand, but its good to explore new things, and those new things made this great game. A Link To The Past was dark, and was an all time favorite as well. Same as Majoras Mask was dark as well. I say this game is just amazing. I love the combat, bosses, enemies, SCENERY, and most of all the story. Sorry about this but, WHY MIDNA WHY. Anyways the story was so great in my opinion. I loved the bosses, they were too easy(HATED THAT PART), but they were si freaking fun to fight. I made copies of profiles so that when I wanted to, I could fight them again. They game never seems to bore me. I hope to see more successful Zelda games like this in the future. Great job Nintendo.… Expand
Mar 30, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The legend of zelda twilight princess it is one of the best zelda game ever made you control link as usual and you know that you are the chosen one of the master sword the blade that gets sh't done then after you are attacked by some monsters you know midna a twili and from then it is very predictable, this game kicks ass, the new mechanics are the horseback combat, a dark tone pitch black graphics, a incredible story that is very dark, it is a T game so that makes it even cooler, difficult puzzles as usual, more items, side activities you can be a wolf, this game has everything thrown in it, just buy it you won't regret it.… Expand
Aug 14, 2014After Ocarina of Time my second favorite Zelda game. I really like the improved combat system and the dark design of this Zelda. A mixture of Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess would make the perfect Zelda game.
Aug 24, 2014Twilight Princess offers the quintessential Zelda experience. It has adventure. It has secrets. A large world worth exploring with characters that breath life into the world. Control wise, Twilight Princess handles well as any other Zelda game. It is the same z-targeting and timing passed gameplay since Ocarina of Time though it improves on it by adding an additional input method, finishing moves. In a similar way that the counter move in Wind Waker adds to combat in it, the finishing moves add style and satisfaction with every battle. The finishing moves also a form of progression of Link's power as each finishing move is more and more powerful than the last. It's a wonderful method to make combat get more impressive.
In Twilight Princess exploration offers plenty of extra hours to the experience and the feeling of discovering that last collectable or that last heart piece is a wonderful moment. However, it is unfortunate that in a similar way to Wind Waker, Twilight Princess has very little content density in large portions of the map. So much of certain areas feel empty and meaningless beyond an intersection between two content dense areas, which tend to be temples. It makes the world feel fragmented and less whole. Another problem lies in some of the items, certain items are useless outside their temple and unfortunately in this game it seems to be more apparent then usual.
Regardless with a standard Zelda story, new and old loveable characters, Twilight Princess offer a grand experience into the land of Hyrule.… Expand
Nov 4, 2014This is an awesome game, it has some of the strongest dungeons and bosses in the series. Midna is a character you actually care about and the story is great. The game-play is probably the best there has been and the music is as fantastic as always. I recommend this game to anyone who a Game-cube or a Wii.
Sep 20, 2014This game did not live up to the hype. The moment that this game was announced on E3, my immediate reaction was "Oh my god, they decided to make a game that would surpass all other games like Ocarina!" Sadly, it did not live up to my expectations. The game felt too easy, even the hardest enemies became trivial and even the challenges felt as though they were merely testing my patience. The world felt quite empty, there was literally not much to do in such a huge world. The thing is that in a huge world you have to make things to do and not just ride on Epona and go to your destination while not even having to look at the screen. It did not much to bring anything to the series. The controls were the same as Ocarina of Time, and the exploration did not compare to Wind Waker or the first Legend of Zelda.
The few things they did do right though was the Gerudo Desert dungeon. Even today, that dungeon is one of the best dungeons in Zelda history. Some of the characters were memorable and vibrant (though not all), and the last thing is that the music and graphics in this game were absolutely gorgeous.… Expand
Sep 28, 2014My favorite Zelda game. It has best graphic, story, and everything in the Zelda series. Well people may have different opinion but for me It's one of the last gem in the Gamecube era.
Sep 29, 2014this game is awesome and never get old. the graphics are good and the bosses are a challenge. one of the best games ever. and turning into a wolf is genies and it is fun to scare people XD pretty cool game
Nov 27, 2014For this game I rated 10 because I felt that this Zelda title had the perfect amount difficulty. It was not too hard, not too difficult which was amazing. Furthermore the game-play is perfect and the boss battles were undoubtedly the best in Zelda history, so overall it was a fun experience every time I beat. Definitely a must try for all gamers into action-adventures.
It's still the most cinematic, engrossing Zelda we've ever played, and as such, deserves nothing but the absolute highest recommendation. Flaws are present, sure, but we'll burn our entire library of games before we say Twilight Princess is anything but incredible.
But the moment the opening symphony plays until the concluding credits, all fear and doubt quickly vanishes like the cool whispering of an autumn's breeze. Though not flawless, Nintendo have once again demonstrated masterful craftsmanship, challenging design and imaginative artistry.
This game is more or less the latest version of a realm that has been long established and already seen. Yes, the story is darker, longer, and more character driven than anything before it. Yes, the dungeons and sidequests are remarkably well crafted. That doesn't mean that both seasoned Zelda fans and newcomers alike will enjoy the lacking difficulty and the other small problems that plague the game.

Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and looking for some advice on a new lens.
I've had my Nikon D90 for a few years now, and I'm bored of the standard 18-105mm zoom lens that came bundled with the camera. So I am looking at getting a new lens; I think a 35mm fixed focal length.
I tried a few fixed lenses in a shop: the 50mm ones seemed like a very tight crop which I can imagine would get annoying. I mostly shoot things around London, street-scenes, architecture, that sort of thing. So I don't want to have to continually 'walk backwards' away from my subject to get the right crop.
Also the appeal of both these lenses is that they go to f1.8 which gives that amazing shallow depth of field, a technique I really like.
So if I go for a Nikon 35mm lens, it seems the only real choice is this one:
As I don't really want to spend much more than the £100-200 mark.
So just thought I'd see if anyone has any recommendations. Is this a good lens to go for? It seemed pretty cool in the shop but I don't have much experience with different lenses as I've only ever used the 'default' option.
Also, the next 'step up' in terms of Nikon 35mm lenses is a huge jump in money. What does that extra cash get you? I notice some of them stop-down to f1.4. Is that much of a difference to f1.8? They didn't have any other lenses in the shop I went to, so I have only tried the basic Nikon 35mm and 50mm lenses.
Thanks for any help!!

Berwald: Symphonies & Overtures
2CDs Dyad (2 for the price of 1)CDD22043
Movement 1: Allegro con energia
Movement 2: Adagio maestoso
Movement 3: Stretto
Movement 4: Finale: Adagio Allegro molto
All of the significant characteristics of Berwald's style can be found in the Sinfonie sérieuse. The opening two-note figure (which he uses often) is unexpected and Berwald capitalizes on this Haydnesque shock at the reprise and the start of the recapitulation. This two-note motif reappears in the Adagio and in the Finale, but there are other thematic links throughout the work. All four movements begin with a scalic theme which rises to the sixth note and then generally falls away, encouraging diminished harmonies and sinister overtones. Berwald tends to make excessive use of sequential repetition: we find short melodic motifs and rhythmic patterns from which an entire movement is developed. In contrast we find occasional melodies with a timeless sweep—like the second subject group in this first movement (as also in the 'Golconda' overture) clearly conceived directly in orchestral sound. The dangers of repetitive squareness are sometimes evident (noticeably in the Sinfonie capricieuse and Sinfonie singulière Finale) but generally relieved by frequent use of three-bar phrases, syncopation in all manner of contexts, a developed chromaticism and unusual harmonic juxtaposition. The orchestration is innovative (especially the use of the brass and timpani) extending to melodic and even solo use of the trombones. There are numerous fleeting allusions to the sound-world of other composers: the surprise and daring of C P E Bach and Haydn, the 'hammer' motifs of Beethoven, a tremendous tension and irregularity which we associate with Berlioz, an Adagio with a hint of Bruckner, a classic Mendelssohnian scherzo and a Finale (introduced by material from the slow movement) with episodic touches of Brahms, Dvorák and Tchaikovsky!

Drinking tea is harmless, right? Maybe for all except Gene Lempp, who can see the future in the tea leaves. So, what? You say. The scary part is he can also change the future by re-arranging the leaves. And he's also is a pinpoint-accurate tea saucer thrower. A rather deadly combination.
Duels with swords? That's easy. Rapier wit duels? Not so safe. Kathy Owen defeated more than 124 men and women in 17th century France with her powerful puns, savage satire, rapid fire wit, and killer jabs — until she became so cocky she challenged The Bard himself to a rapier wit duel, in which she lost and he forced her to write three plays for him, which he kept the profits on.
Larry Enright's complete nuttiness defeated Count Dracula, at the cost of his own life. He's the only one who knew about the Count's allergy — so he ate buckeye pie for five days straight. The next time Dracula raided the town, he got a nasty surprise when he bit into Larry.
After reading The Scarlet Pimpernel, Susie Lindau knew just what to do when she faced her nemesis who had only one flaw: he frequently used snuff. So when Dr. Monstrosity caught Susie at her favorite diner and handcuffed her to the table, she wasn't worried. She pick pocketed his snuff box when he was busy fiddling with the dials of his molecular evaporator gun, she sprinkled a bit of pepper into his snuff and put it back in his pocket. When he opened it up for a victory sniff, he was overtaken with painful sneezing and all she had to do was use the gun to evaporate her handcuff and get away. It is unclear whether he is still uses snuff or not.
Piper Bayard and her cat named Sims climbed Mount Everest together, swam the English Channel together, and then became the most famous Luchador team Mexico City has ever seen.Sonia G. Medeiros is one of the most talented spies in the world, but one time at a cafe she read her watch hands wrong and surprise attacked the weapon's dealer 15 minutes too early. Luckily, she was able to survive until her team arrived by using her littler derringer, chopsticks, and stilettos. What'd she get from her team for Christmas? A digital watch.
Elise Andrews was awful prejudice against all belgium waffles. It didn't matter if they had strawberries, chocolate chips, or whipped cream … she never gave them a chance. In fact, she hated them so much that anytime she saw a belgium waffle she'd steal it off of it's plate and throw it into the gutter. She was known as the belgium waffle thrower, and continental breakfasts all over town feared her. That is, until one day her elevator got stuck with only her and a belgium waffle and after two hours alone with it, she decided that she'd misjudged belgium waffles after all. Nom nom nom.
Renee Schuls-Jacobson, the fierce Amazonian princess, ruled over her subjects with judgement in her right hand and punishment in her left hand, she was constantly in a bad mood, and all her subjects regarded her with fear and trembling. Until one day Renee's royal cook served her honey horseradish ham with a side of yams. The meal changed the princess' whole countenance. And from that day on she was the wisest, most gracious of all rulers … as long as she had some honey horseradish ham with a side of yams for supper.
Shut away in a top-secret prison in the Canary Islands, the only thing the government gave Tiffany A. White was a daily bowl of spinach and rice, and a remote control for the TV she could watch through a window (she claimed it violated the Geneva Convention if they didn't let her watch TV). Unfortunately for the government, they underestimated both remotes and Tiffany A. White. She re-wired the remote to control all electronic devises in the prison, and toyed with the prison guards' computers and cell phones, waiting patiently for the perfect opportunity to free herself.
Of course you've heard of Jess Witkins and her killer frisbee–they defeated nine countries in fifteen days, cleaning out each royal treasury and kidnapping all handsome men to do who knows what with them. Of course, Jess Witkins was never caught, the men never heard of again, but her pet wooly mammoth named frisbee is now on display at the Chicago Field Museum.
The Company tied Lynn Kelley to a chair. They thought they had her. Little did they know how sinister she was….she began singing the soap-on-a-rope limerick in her chipmunk voice and by the end of the first verse they begged her to stop and by the end of the seventh they were blubbering like babies and by the end of the fifteenth they cut her bonds and let her go free. At least, that's what she said. Who knows if they survived the ordeal.
JRD Skinner created the lightning fast twin hooks, the deadly diverse kusari gama, the machine-gun crossbow Chu-Ko-Nu, and worst of all: chili dogs. Oh yes, JRD Skinner created the chili concoction that was served to the Persian Immortals and wiped out their entire army for a week. Some say they even killed each other to get to the latrine. حذار من الفلفل الحار Beware the Chili.
Picnic Utensil War of 1993: Gloria Oliver led the bunny rabbit rebellion against Chuck Norris and his gang of beavers. Although Norris and his gang used brute force and sporks, they were no match against Gloria, her bunny rabbits, and their deadly accurate bows shooting drinking straws. In picnic valley, you can still see beaver remains with straws through their heads.
In Monaco, Eden Baylee is forbidden to walk down the street. She turns so many driver's heads the traffic cops told her it'd be safer for everyone for her just to take a cab.

NewerTech, a company that makes the Power2U wall outlets with built-in USB ports for charging your gadgets, now offers them in a selection of colors so your room won't look funny.
So maybe this isn't groundbreaking, but it's still kinda cool. Cool enough that I want them all over my house.
When we moved into our new house one of the first things my wife wanted changed was all the outlet covers so they'd better match with the décor of the rooms. So what does a person do when they want to add one of these neat USB outlets but finds they're only available in white? Not a problem anymore. But what if I want to charge my iPhone in my pumpkin orange bathroom?
The outlets are UL listed and available in three new colors: black, ivory, and light almost, plus the original white. With these you only need the USB cable (not the dopy little adapter) to charge your phones and tablets, plus you don't sacrifice a socket by adding the USB port. Each unit includes two standard grounded sockets and two USB ports.
The MSRP for the outlets is $29,99 (about the price of a new iPhone wall adapter).

1925 Flip: Kinetic Diamond Ruby Sapphire Ring
We associated kinetic jewelry only with those fab years of the '60s and '70s. Quite the fashion rage, individual elements turned, rotated or moved as the concept changed – with a mystery and fascination. However, there have been precursors to this not so long ago movement and this piece from around 1925 shows those not so humble origins.
Most likely a stickpin and dating to the Art Deco era, an innovator custom made a platinum mount and transformed it into a ring. Kinetic and versatile, there are eight different presentations as each element has two sides and two looks. A central pivot pin allows the parts to flip up or down creating multiple combinations.
The outer rim is set with natural rubies on one side and diamonds on the other; the inner circle has diamonds and, with a flip, natural sapphires make their presence known; and then the center as a diamond or ruby. The diamonds and sapphires are set in platinum topped 14k yellow gold with the rubies in yellow gold. Our photographs show but just a few of the variations.
A total of 37 old single cut diamonds graces the three elements (.72 carats, color I, SI1 clarity) and 23 rubies (.69 carats) and 14 sapphires (.28 carats). A marvel of design and workmanship all in one ring.
Please be aware that when worn the discs slightly turn as the piece was designed to shadow your body movements.
Date: Center circa 1925, mount mid to later 20th century.
Measurements: 5/8 of an inch (1.4 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 5/16 of an inch (0.9 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 10.9 grams (7.0 dwt).
Ring Size: US 7-1/4 (UK O; Euro or Int. Circum. 55.0 mm; Int. Dia. 17.5 mm; Japan over 14) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Excellent; converted from a stickpin to a ring with a later date mount.

Movement 1: Allegro moderato
Movement 2: Allegro vivace, quasi presto
Movement 3: Andante moderato
Movement 4: Allegro con spirito
From the very start of the opening Allegro moderato there is a sense of generous assurance, yet nothing here is overstated. The warm cello and clarinet melody rises from the major third and, passing up through the strings to a fortissimo, asserts an inherent strength with a rugged exchange of 6/8 for 3/4. It is followed immediately by the second subject, in a lilting waltz tempo that eventually leads to a beautiful yielding codetta to the exposition. The development is brief, the second subject dancing lightly amongst the more dramatic gestures derived from the first subject. The recapitulation is regular, and the coda, which briefly threatens to be portentous, is no such thing, and ends unassumingly.
The Allegro vivace, quasi presto follows on entirely naturally. It is a scherzo, bursting with energy and fun, looking back to Beethoven and, in the odd moment, forward to Mahler. Woven into its brilliant contrasts of texture is a gentle slightly modal theme over a drone bass, like a tiny breath of Scottish air in the otherwise Germanic climate of the movement. The trio section, Molto moderato e quieto, has a ländler-like lilt, though others have heard Scotland in its rural charm. The scherzo returns, modified, but as bucolic as before and, in homage to Beethoven's own ploys, ends teasingly with a brief recollection of the trio section.
A glorious melody opens the Andante moderato, but there is also a very real unease in this movement, with heavy-paced tuttis in slow march tempo and sections of dark thoughtfulness. Relief is brought with the return of the opening theme, beautifully embellished by flowing quavers; but they are insufficient wholly to dispel the agitation, and though the coda eventually subsides gently, it does so over a bass line which retains much of the darkness of the earlier slow march. The concluding 'amen' cadence, so simply stated, sounds here with a true sense of gratitude for deliverance from some trouble only partly disguised.
The sure hand of Brahms guides the start of the Allegro con spirito in both rhythm and texture, but Lamond is so at home in this idiom, and his material is so lovely in itself – notably the second subject – that it should earn nothing but a welcome for the pleasure with which it walks in familiar fields.

Thanks to the Internet, consumers expect 21st century companies to bring a sophisticated online presence. Utilities that leverage the interactive power of Web 2.0 will strengthen their positions...
Saving The Smart Grid
Hype, hysteria, and strategic planning.
the government's mandate, we're starting with smart meters, it's about getting price transparency in your hands so you can help us de-stress the electricity system and improve the environment by allowing us to reduce peak demand and get off coal,'" Stevens says. "We've played that message out to them consistently."
From the beginning, Hydro One's message was clear, concise and firm: This is happening, it has to happen, here's why, and here's what you will be asked to do. Explaining the environmental aspect of the mandate was part of it, but Stevens adds that being clear that aging infrastructure absolutely needed to be replaced was key to establishing a sense of urgency.
Once the need for investment is established, the smart aspect is easier to justify: Infrastructure has to be replaced, so why not do it with tomorrow's technology instead of yesterday's? The emphasis was squarely on the role of smart meters as a vehicle to communicate cost signals—either to encourage consumers to invest themselves in a comprehensive conservation effort, or at least to understand power costs.
Historically one could boil consumers' engagement with electric utilities down to two words: reliability and cost. Nothing about smart grid is remotely that simple or concise, so adding a third leg to customer awareness is a challenge under the best conditions. Certainly strong government backing makes things easier in Ontario than they are almost anywhere in the United States, but there's still a lesson in the clear and consistent message the utility is sending to its customers. It's an unflinching message of necessity, not a dance around hard questions or a promise of pie-in-the-sky returns.
"Rates are going up," Stevens says. "The government is talking about the need of infrastructure investment, and we're talking to customers about it. We've made the investment, and we're going to give you the price transparency."
Honing the Message
It's worth saying again; the smart grid is already being built, and that construction will continue. Smart networks, AMI, demand response, home energy management—it's all happening. But the effectiveness of utilities in explaining the associated complex concepts, new value propositions and, yes, higher costs to consumers will have a major effect on how long it takes and how much it costs.
"There are some elements of what different people call smart grid that are going to have bumpy times in the short term," Causey says. "Eventually the grid will become more automated, more efficient and more right-sized for demand, but a lot of the things just aren't going to work in the short term. You can't do all of this stuff overnight."
Elster's Munday adds, "It's a journey. You learn as you move forward. As long as you keep focused on serving the consumer, the smart grid does deliver benefits."
That evolutionary path, however, makes it difficult for utilities to hone their smart grid message, and many utilities are learning the hard way that customer communication can be as difficult as the most demanding technical problems. In fact, talking about technical issues on a national scale is practically moot, given all

Yup, and no statictics wouldnt help show up whats wrong.
Hows your rotation, sure its right?
Checked elitistjerks?
I am an unholy DK dps and cannot get my dps anywhere near where it should be. I have seen tons of Death Knights with much lower GS and same rotation school me in dps.
Here is my wow armory http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...s&cn=Msmadmama
I have another DK in my guild (again with lower gs) and i specc'd same, used same glyphs and same rotation and in raids he usually has me by 2k at least. I cannot for the life of my figure out what I am doing wrong.
Yup, and no statictics wouldnt help show up whats wrong.
Hows your rotation, sure its right?
Checked elitistjerks?
Can you be more specific on what your dps is like (preferably for stationary fights) and what rotation you're using?
The first and most common issue is the amount of hit you have. Being a Draenei your cap is 7% and you're 5.47% over. The Ghoul does not benefit from Heroic Presence and will benefit from an additional 1% hit but it's not worth it at the expense of your own dps. Using the agi/crit meta is better since it only requires 1 Nightmare Tear to activate. The crit socket bonus on your helm is not worth it and should be replaced with a strength gem. Even if you used a Blood subspec with Bladed Armor the armor to cloak is not worth it. Glyph of DnD and Disease are wrong, you should be using Icy Touch and Ghoul. Minor Glyph of Pestilence also provides a possible dps increase on aoe fights.
With your level of gear and 2pc T10 you may want to consider Unholy/Blood with Reaping. People think that the new spec to go is Unholy/Frost, but it's dps difference compared to Blood/Unholy (non-Reaping) without a proc weapon is not very different. It has some varying benefits such as free interrupts and an increased value to haste but the end result is comparable to the other specs.

my multiple target rotation is ps,ic,Pest,BB(blood tap), BB,BS.PS.BS,DC
and my single target rotation is, ic,ps, bs,ps,bs,dc,dc,dc,ps,ps,o, repeat
Rotations: IT, PS, BS, SS, BS, DC, HoW, DC...SS, BS, SS, BS, Repeat
IT - Icy Touch
PS - Plague Strike
BS - Blood Strike
SS - Scourge Strike
DC - Death Coil
HoW - Horn of Winter
Another thing you can do is on stationary fights like Saurfang, Festergut...etc Pop Army of the dead at the start of the fight.
Also Make sure you are keeping Bone Shield Up at all times. You can always make a macro that uses Blood Tap to open up your rune for your Bone Shield.
Carterhova and bling581 pretty well covered it. Scourge Strike is your bread and butter strike and needs to be used as much as possible. However, you need both diseases rolling (and hopefully wandering plague as well) for maximum damage from Scourge Strike. The reason for the rotation that Carterhova referenced is it gets the diseases on the target and then gets the most out of your hardest hitting strike.
The purpose for the reaping build referenced earlier is that it gives you more Scourge Strikes which increases dps if you can buff scourge strike just enough, which the T10 2 piece bonus usually does. Search Elitistjerks.com for their death knight info. There is a great article there for death knights which explains both rotations well (with and without reaping).
I hate to reference something that takes the "thinking" out of it because you REALLY need to understand your rotation, but I will in this case. Remember, this addon is not right ALL the time. What it SHOULD do, is help you get a feel for how to work your rotation and you will HAVE to understand why it recommends what it does to know when it is wrong. Facesmasher is the name of the addon. It will show you what strike to use next for high dps. Like I said, it is not perfect. It will probably be a big improvement for you, given that you haven't been using Scourge Strike at all. It is important for you to read about and understand the class so you know when you can do something better than what it recommends for the next strike if you reall want to get the potential from your toon.
I say "what it SHOULD do" because it is easy to just mindlessly follow it, but you should not do that.

With microgrids in place, doomsday preppers wouldn't need to worry so much about a zombie plague.
Extreme Efficiency
Performance standards are a valid idea—if targets are achievable.
or relative to a fixed historical baseline largely eliminate this uncertainty, but they lack a clear relationship with planning imperatives. The model used in Massachusetts, Washington, and Rhode Island is a more sensible approach from a resource-planning point of view, which also eliminates at least some of the uncertainty facing utilities.
There have been approximately 60 studies of energy-efficiency potentials since 2000, including more than a dozen by the authors of this article. These studies generally estimate cost-effective, energy-efficiency potentials of about 15 to 20 percent of annual loads at the end of the forecast horizon, usually 10 to 20 years away. A 2009 study sponsored by EPRI shows the national average cost-effective potential to be lower, at about 12 percent. The study estimates a maximum achievable potential at 8 percent of projected loads with 5 percent being "realistically achievable." These estimates are, however, overly conservative, being lower than what many utilities already have realized. 8 Nevertheless, even assuming a 12-percent achievable potential, Arizona would exhaust all of its potential by about 2016, Illinois by 2018, and all other states by 2020 or shortly thereafter.
Of course, the actual energy-efficiency potentials vary by state, depending on a number of factors such as customer mix, end-use saturations, existing energy codes and standards, and efficiency gains already realized through past conservation programs. There's also the knowledge that the amount of energy-efficiency potential isn't fixed. New and more efficient technologies appear regularly, and emerging end-uses, such as home electronics, generate new opportunities for efficiency improvements. However, these developments are gradual and will continue beyond the performance deadlines in such states as Illinois and Ohio.
Expenditure Caps
Cost-effectiveness is an explicit condition for performance standards in all cases. The criterion is almost universally based on the total resource cost (TRC) or the societal perspective, except in Utah and Michigan where energy-efficiency programs are judged—inexplicably from a resource planning point of view—according to the utility cost criterion. A less-common practice is to set expenditure limits, usually at 2 percent of the utility's annual retail sales. Expenditure caps are appealing from a regulatory point of view; they serve as measures of cost control and, like ramping, they help mitigate near-term rate shocks. But caps also limit a utility's ability to construct optimal portfolios that increase the depth of savings. Caps encourage the utility to pursue only the least-cost savings options, leaving significant amounts of cost-effective energy-efficiency potential untapped, a practice known as cream skimming. In this way, caps constrain investments in efficiency to levels that are significantly below a utility's avoided costs.
More important, expenditure caps, coupled with aggressive annual saving targets, might prove impractical. In Illinois, for example, spending limits start at 1.5 percent of revenues in 2010. They increase to 2 percent in 2011 and remain at that level through the end of the performance period in 2016. The resulting relationship between annual performance targets and allowed annual expenditures appears counterintuitive and is inconsistent with historical data available from EIA. The data clearly show a strong, positive relationship between savings and expenditures ( see Figure 2

Haydn: String Quartets Op 33
2CDs for the price of 1 Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads availableCDA67955
Haydn: String Quartets Opp 33/4-6 & 42
Archive ServiceCDA66682
Movement 1: Vivace assai
Movement 2: Andante
Movement 2: Scherzo: Allegro
Movement 3: Adagio
Movement 3: Scherzo: Allegro
Movement 4: Andante
Movement 4: Finale: Allegretto
Subversive comedy continues in the Scherzo, with its crazy offbeat accents and imitative entries: in a game of musical chairs, the viola ends up stranded with the opening motif. The trio restores rhythmic decorum, beginning as a lolloping cello solo before morphing into a canonic duet for first violin and viola. As in Op 33 No 5, the slow movement is usually placed second, but in Schmitt's Amsterdam edition comes third. Again it is in the tonic minor key, with something of a Baroque flavour. But the texture is more varied and complex than in No 5. Above the opening theme, gravely intoned by second violin and viola, the first violin's sustained high A recreates the vocal technique of messa di voce (literally 'placing the voice'), involving a perfectly controlled gradual swelling and ebbing of the tone, and indispensable to any eighteenth-century singer's armoury.
As in No 5, Haydn offsets a fast first movement with a relaxed variation finale. This is the earliest example in his quartets of his favourite 'double variation' form, with alternating sections of major and minor. The D minor theme, initiated by the cello, is a classic instance of the free, informal counterpoint that is one of the glories of Op 33.

Mozart & Krommer: Oboe Concertos
Helios (Hyperion's budget label) — Archive ServiceCDH55080
Movement 1: Allegro
Movement 2: Adagio
Movement 3: Rondo: Allegro
Born Frantisek Vincenc Kramár in Kamenice u Trebíce in 1759, the year of Handel's death, Krommer abandoned his Bohemian name and adopted the more wieldy form after he moved to Vienna in 1795. Earlier, he had worked as a violinist and organist in Hungary, but most of his career was spent in Vienna where, from 1818 until his death in 1831, he was court composer to the Habsburg emperors, the last composer to hold that post. He was a friendly man, uninterested in intrigue and content to jog along in his secluded existence writing quartets to fulfil a steadily increasing demand. He was 34 before any of his works was published; doubtless the numerous publications which followed (Krommer's opus numbers reach 110, of which André of Offenbach alone brought out fifty in thirty years) contained early works which found a ready market audience amongst listeners for whom Beethoven's music was too progressive. Mozart's was considered more 'civilised', more 'proper', and Krommer's music, advancing along a similar path, was therefore more acceptable. The publication dates of the two oboe concertos, Op 37 in 1803 and Op 52 in 1805, offer little clue as to when they were composed.
Whereas Mozart in his concerto called for a smallish orchestra of pairs of oboes and horns with the strings, Krommer adds flute, bassoons, trumpets and timpani to both of his, yet with Krommer the orchestra builds an attractive framework for the solo episodes but, except in the slow movements, is content to provide rhythmic and harmonic accompaniment with minimal involvement in the musical argument. The later concerto shows an advance over Op 37 in this respect, and the orchestral tuttis in the first movement have a force reminiscent of Beethoven. Had Krommer ever composed an opera one feels that it might have contained a tragic aria similar to the Adagio of Op 52. Each concerto closes with a Rondo rich in contrasts and joyful melody.

To the Liberal Club and the suitably romantic looking
For openers, peach charmeuse (was there ever a more seductive fabric?) lapped the hips in long bias-cut dresses which were given some moody attitude with some major shoulder pads. Second skin corset dresses were given a 3-D, almost sculptural quality, with layers of peach and satin. Come summer you need to be ready to get your pinks out, ladies.
I adored the ice blue and aqua gown trimmed with a tiny edge of black tulle. And the airy linen A -line dress hitched up at the hem and sent out in a vivid
The extreme shoulders that got more and more outrageously large as the show progressed were less convincing. But the molten metallics: bronze lamé and warm golden gilts, were classic Ilincic glamour which is most powerful when it is subtle and understated. Ear high shoulders trimmed with jet black feathers were in a different league.
But, apart from that one piece, this was a fabulously glamorous show and the obvious question is, why don't we see more Roksanda on the red carpet? Come on Tilda... it's perfect for you.
