She loves the ring, and the combination with the wedding band will be awesome.
It was the perfect combination of size, price and stones. She likes white gold/silver, her birthstone is Sapphire and the size is perfect.
She love the engagement ring
It was a beautiful ring. My birth stone is Diamond and hers is Sapphire.
Quality n price
It was all about getting a quality ring for a great price. Blue Nile is the way to go n so much better then the mall stores. What you are is what u get online n very happy with it.
Not happy with the jewels on the band.
I am very disappointed in the size of the sapphires and diamonds on the band. I realize the image of the ring is magnified to show detail, but in my opinion the size is grossly overstated. I will be returning my ring because I will not give my future wife a ring this expensive with only tiny sapphire chips. I feel this ring is extremely overpriced for how miniscule the band jewels have turned out to be. It is gorgeous in the picture, but the picture is not a good representation of what arrives at all. I feel you grossly misrepresented the size of the sapphires and diamonds on the band of this ring. For the price I paid, I should have received a full carat center stone at the very least!...especially if the band stones were actually microscopic.
Narrower Than Expected
The setting, stones, and overall quality were outstanding; but the band was much narrower than I expected. Not sure whether or not my wife will be disappointed when I give it to her for her 60th Birthday.
My fiancee loves her ring
The ring is beautiful, although the sapphire and diamonds on the band are not as large as they appear in the picture. Nonetheless, it's an excellent choice for an engagement ring.
Amazing ring for an engagement!
The ring is excellent, it has an amazing shine and great contrast with the sapphires. The ring band is a little thinner than I was expecting due to the enlarged photos listed. But due to the fact that I ordered a size 4.5 it looks great and petite on my fiance's finger. She is absolutely thrilled with this ring and this is the ring she picked out. All together we are thrilled with Blue Nile and are very excited being newly engaged.
Ring was a huge success!
Beautiful ring that got the reaction I'd hoped for. She absolutely loved it. The sapphire accents are exactly what she was looking for.
Love my Ring
My husband got this setting for me as an updated engagement ring and it is absolutely beautiful. The sapphires really bring out the diamonds and its not overbearing. When trying on different wedding bands to see what would look good I cannot tell you the amount of compliments i got from the sales people. I would definitely recommend this setting.
Great balance between wow and simple
This ring, I feel, strikes a great balance between simplicity and radiance. I was afraid the blue sapphire will overshadow the diamond, but not so! The band is very pretty, the diamond stood out and out-sparkled the shiny band itself. When the sapphires catch the light, they shimmer brilliantly, but in the shade they can look a little dull. Overall, great value for money!
Stunningly Beautiful!
My wife absolutely loves this ring which I bought her for our ten year anniversary. Our anniversary is months away but it is so stunningly beautiful I couldn't wait to give it to her. I highly recommend this ring for engagement or anniversary.
She absolutely loves it....
Bought this for my wife for her birthday, and she L-O-V-E-D it. She's always looking at it with a big smile on her face.
This is the one!
The ring was perfect. She loved it and gets compliments every day on it's uniqueness, high level of sparkle, and great look. It worked out great!
Absolutely Gorgeous!!!
This ring is amazing, the photo really does not do it justice. Absolutely stunning.
She said yes
She said yes! And she loves the ring. Even the box was beautiful! It's a little hard to guage the actual size online, and being slightly smaller than expected, it was still as close to perfect that we could ask for! Thanks again!
Simple yet Elegant. She loves her ring!!!
The only reason I did not rate my experience and this ring 5 stars is that its still a new ring and don't know first hand how durable it is over time yet. Its a beautiful ring, and petite and elegant at the same time. Its shines brightly, all the while meeting the simple ring criterias. My now fiance loves her ring and can't stop looking at it.
If this caught your eye - go for it, you will not regret it!
This ring is very pretty in the sample picture but it is absolutely beautiful in person. The sapphires really accent the diamonds in the setting and the whole thing just sparkles. It's elegant without being too dainty and we have received nothing but earnest compliments on the ring. My fiance's mother is particularly picky about jewelry and she cannot stop gushing over it. Apart from the aesthetics, the ring is sturdy and both looks and feels incredibly well made and, for us - perfect!
Sapphires for the win!
She has received comments on the sapphires it seems like almost everyday since I proposed. Fantastic band and just the right size for your average girl's fingers.
Everyone loves it.
I am only going to buy with Blue Nile. Great product. Everyone loves the ring.
Very pleased
Beautiful ring, quite dainty and sparkly. We are very pleased with our purchase.
It's much better in real life than in the picture
It's much better in real life than in the picture. I was doubtful because the ring seemed too thin on the pictures, but not at all.
Brilliant ring with great customer service
The ring is exceptional overall. The diamond was larger than I expected. Thought I've seen larger diamonds for less, they look cloudy and almost fake compared to the diamond from Blue Nile. She really liked the sapphire accents in the ring and they make the ring shine. I really did appreciate the extras. First, if you call them, a real person answers the phone. The wooden box is a nice touch. The appraisal and diamond report are included, so no need to pay for one. The ring resizing and cleaning services make this a great value. We immediately had to send the ring back for resizing, and it took about a week with free shipping both ways. My only complaint is that the initial shipping was a day late, but I am sure Fed Ex was backed up a few days before Christmas. I would highly recommend Blue Nile if you are looking for quality jewelry. There is no pressure to buy and you can view your personalized ring or setting without a salesperson looking over your shoulder.

There to Here: Cynthia Jaynes Omololu,
Young Adult fiction phenom
(In this installment, Che Underground: The Blog talks to San Diego scene documentarian Cynthia Jaynes Omololu about her career in young-adult fiction. If you'd like your story told, e-mail email@example.com!)
With the publication of Dirty Little Secrets and the recent release of the first installment of your new Transcendence series, C.J. Omololu is developing a growing reputation as an author of fiction for young adults. How did you get from the San Diego scene of our youth to a writing career in San Francisco?
Aw, thanks, Matthew. I'll take that kind of reputation. It actually makes a lot of sense – I have to write from the perspective of a 16 or 17 year old and a lot of people say I'm emotionally stunted at around that age. Okay, not totally true, but I started hanging around the San Diego scene at about that age, and it was a pretty influential time for me. We'd moved to Del Mar from Poway in the summer between 9th and 10th grade and I felt like I never fit in there – we were renting an apartment in the land of multimillion dollar beach houses and honestly, I couldn't compete.
I started working at Sea World one summer and met a bunch of the guys who later started the Secret Society, and it all just snowballed from there. Finally I felt like I fit in somewhere, and I was introduced to some great people and amazing bands along the way. I went to college in Santa Barbara but spent a great summer living in Normal Heights with [John] Murphy and the revolving cast of people who floated through that apartment. I still have two huge photo books from that time and I sometimes look at them for inspiration.
San Diego scene photos from Cyndie Jaynes!
The day after I graduated, I moved to SF, but didn't even think about writing until after I had my kids. I started writing picture books without any kind of training or clue as to what it was all about and sold one to a publisher basically by accident. I eventually started writing novels and got an agent after a huge learning curve and our goal is to publish at least one book every year. It's actually kind of an accidental career, but I can't imagine doing anything else.
What's the key to YA fiction? Are there differences in pacing, characters or themes that make a book in this category resonate with the readership?
Writing YA is a totally different animal from writing grown up books – you have to get into the story right away, no spending pages describing how the light changes in a sunset. Younger readers (and the older readers who like reading YA – there is actually a lot of crossover) want a ton of action and a big story with a lot of heart. I love writing this age because it's a time when you can be anyone and anything can happen – it's really magical. Painful, but magical.
When we were all last together, many of us were the same age as your current readers. How did your experiences in our little clique inform your writing today?
A lot of my real life finds its way into my books – the girl on the cover of Dirty Little Secrets actually looks a bit like I did at that age, but that's purely accidental – a lot of the angst from the late teenage years is easy to access still. Unrequited love in the 1980s is basically the same as it is today. One of my characters in my newest book talks about going to an MC5 show in NYC in the seventies and that is totally a product of my teenage years and hanging around people who knew so much about music. I think the free-thinking spirit that was around back then that basically anything goes helps a lot when I'm creating my characters.
I wouldn't say that any character is based directly on people I knew back then, but I would say that many of them are influenced by people who were hanging around at the time. My newest book is about people who remember their past lives, and while I was writing I remembered the longing I felt when I watched videos of bands from the 60's – of wanting to be back in that time rather than stuck in the mid 80's. My kids (I have two boys, 15 and 12) look at photos of me with black hair and way too much eye makeup and laugh that I was Goth, but I tell them that we looked like that before Goth was even thought of. Most of us were misfits in our own time, and that sensibility has really worked for me.
It's funny, but I read all the time and never really connected authors with books – I'd just randomly pick up whatever was new at the library without too much thought about how they got there. There wasn't really the category of Young Adult books at the time – we were all reading VC Andrews with the covers cut off in school. I read a bunch of Edgar Allen Poe during the Che years and a lot of Kafka, along with some Anne Rice. So many people in the scene were scary smart and would toss books my way all the time.
When I was in college I discovered the English writer Muriel Spark. and I've read everything she's ever written. I went through a big John Fowles period during a year abroad in Scotland – French Lieutenant's Woman, The Collector. Because of what I do, I rarely read grown-up books anymore, and when I do I often find myself frustrated, yelling at the author to get to the point already. There are so many great books coming out every day – my entire office is surrounded by stacks of books I'm trying to read, but I don't think I'll ever catch up.

This is one of Delhi's most popular winter pickles. Large glass jars of this pickle are often sold at street corners. An assortment of fresh winter vegetables, fresh green garlic in tangy mustard flavoured water makes my mouth water just to think of it. Special "black" carrots available in winter enrich the colour of the "water" in this pickle to a glorious beet colour. Unable to find the bleeding "black" carrots, I have substituted them with ordinary red carrots. I often replenish the vegetables in this pickle as they get eaten. Fresh green peppercorns with their stalks can be added if they are in season. This pickle stays well for 8 to 10 days. It will get sour as time passes, you may need to add some sugar as that happens. One way to slow its deterioration is to refrigerate it.

For those of us without the desire, physical capacity or means to climb epic mountains, a cable car is the next best thing. Lucky for us there are some engineers with a serious sense of adventure who have built cable cars in absolutely wild locations. Here's a list of 10 cable cars that are guaranteed to get your knees shaking, heart pumping and cause vertigo in even the most experienced mountaineers.
Tianmen Chan Cable Car (China)
In the northern province of Hunan is an epic cable car that rises to 1,300 meters high and nearly 7,500 meters in length. With the nickname of 'Heaven's Gate Mountain' this cable car offers some of the most amazing views you could possibly imagine.
The Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi (France)
While the ride will cost you a whopping 41 euros for a 20 minute ascent, the journey is definitely worth it. This cable car of the French Alps currently holds the world record for the highest vertical ascent and has done so since 1955.
Gulmarg Gondola (India)
This cable car is not only the longest and highest in all of Asia, but the second highest on the entire planet. It was built by the French and currently shuttles skiers up to the shoulder of Kongdoori mountain.
Ba Na Cable Car (Vietnam)
The longest nonstop cable car in the world boasts some seriously gorgeous views of the Vietnamese landscape. It also holds the record for the largest difference in vertical feet between the stop and start terminals.
Table Mountain Causeway (South Africa)
Located in Cape Town, South Africa this cable car takes its passengers to the top of the famous Table Mountain that looms over the city. What sets it apart from the other cable cars on the list is that each individual gondola has a different and unique design.
Grindelwald-Männlichen Cableway (Switzerland)
This legendary cable car connects two massive peaks of the Swiss Alps. The scenery is said to be some of the best in Europe and the 30 minute ride gives great views of both the Jungfrau and Eiger, two iconic Swiss peaks. It is currently the third longest passenger carrying cable car this world has to offer.
Sugarloaf Mountain Cableway (Brazil)
In the epic Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro lives a breathtaking cable ride to the top of one of the most famous mountains in all of Brazil. Not only is the view like a 360 degree postcard, but you can also see the amazing statue of Christ the Redeemer during the ride.
Zacatecas Cable Car (Mexico)
In Spanish a cable is known as a teleferico. This particular teleferico rises high above a beautiful, colonial Mexican city where views of plazas and elegant domes are a dime a dozen. The enjoyable ride ends in the Cerro de la Bufa, a large hill that overlooks the city of the same name.
Genting Skyway (Malaysia)
While the Genting skyway is primarily used as transportation to a massive resort, it also holds a world record of cable cars. This feat of Malaysian engineering is the fastest cable car on this beautiful planet. The quick journey has some great views and the resort at the end is worth the trip as it includes a theme park, shops, hotels and a large casino.
Masada Cableway (Israel)
There are two reasons why Israel's Masada Cableway is one of the most unique cable cars you can experience. The first reason is that it rises over an incredible, ancient fortress. The second is that it's the lowest cable car in the world because it starts 257 meters below sea level.

This week's Photo Friday (#FriFotos) theme is "best photo of 2011". While on an adventure cruise which sailed through the Inside Passage of southwest Alaska, Chris and I had the opportunity to take a small excursion boat to Sawyer Glacier, in the Tracy Arm fjord. It was extremely misty as we boated through the dense fog toward the glacier, but as approached within a safe distance, the extreme blue colors of the glacier appeared, along with a few large chunks of broken ice floating in the water.

Can you enlarge the ornamentation at the rear of the roof? That might help narrow it down.
Also, you might want to clone out that huge street address on the building. If that's a private home, somebody might get upset seeing it for sale online.

It's a 67-68-69 Tbird, I recognize the swoop on the side of the top.
My guess is a 68 because the side body marker lights at the rear are longer than a 69.
The turn signal indicators on top of the fenders have me stumped.
I think that was an upgrade feature back then.

It might even be a Mercury product, like the Montego. It looks like it might have been customized a bit too. Can you turn on the "green box"?
Hi,Rich,the green box is on.
I am heading forward to Wendy guess: 1968 Ford Thunderbird 2-door Landau
I also turned green box on other photo "La Quinta Old Town Village"
At the end of street one can see same car from back (use green box).
Thanks all for tips.

The Thunderbird photo in Glenn's link looks like the car shown.
I bought a new Thunderbird in 1979. It was a nice car. I liked it. Unfortunately, it had a major transmission
problem shortly after the warranty expired. Maybe that explains why I was seeing Monterey.

Rich, I don't believe the Montego ever had the squiggly bright work on the C pillar. I'm of the thought that this is indeed a 1968 Ford Thunderbird 2-door Landau.

Garcia pulls a Tiger a Wyndham
Bad fortnight for the Boys of Medinah, 1999. First Tiger Woods loses a 2-stroke lead in the final round of the PGA Championship. Then Sergio Garcia loses a 3-stroke advantage midway through the last round of the Wyndham Championship. I'm thinking this wasn't the kind of oneupmanship on Woods that the Spaniard had in mind.

Frequent Flyer Miles And Loyalty Programs
The airline industry was ahead of its time when it created frequent flyer programs, which allows loyal customers to earn miles or points towards free flights and seat upgrades. Consumers can also rack up airline miles by enrolling in credit-card programs that offer points toward cheap tickets with each purchase. Signing up is a no-brainer.
Open up the wallet of the average American, and chances are it will be bursting with those ubiquitous loyalty cards – covering everything from grocery stores to restaurants to hair salons. But admit it: most of those cards are just a waste of wallet space, right?
It would seem that way. There are an estimated 90 million Americans enrolled in frequent flyer programs, and 2 trillion unused miles, according to a recent article in Bloomberg Business Week.
But as more and more loyalty programs track consumer habits and add yet another item for people to track, the question should be asked: Are they really worth it?
Read FareCompare founder Rick Seaney's take on airline points programs and learn more about how airline frequent flyer programs work.
Frequent Flyer Miles: Who Needs Them?
For business travelers and globetrotters – folks who spend more time in the air than on the ground – there are plenty of benefits, including:
- First Class and Business Class upgrades
- Free checked bags
- Free flights
- Free priority boarding
- Preferred security lane access
- Gourmet meals
- Free drinks

Frequent Flyer Miles: Who Does not Need Them?
If you are not truly a frequent flier (someone who travels at least 25,000 miles a year), it might not be worth your time to enroll. For those travelers, the following drawbacks might outweigh the potential perks:
- Your miles expire with inactivity, so it can be a hassle to use them.
- Airline-branded credit cards often have large annual fees and high interest rates.
- Redeeming the miles can be a hassle (upgrades can be restricted, blackout dates etc.).
- Many European carriers have fuel surcharges and redemption fees.
- It is a hassle having to keep track of extra usernames and passwords.
Bottom Line: If you are not going to work the system, or if you are someone who wants to stay off the grid, then do not feel guilty about not signing up.

Penny Play's Anal Facial Humiliation Day - Some days I get up and I just want to play rough. I want to grab the cunt, lock her down, control her completely and humiliate her. I don't care what her name is, or what she's done, or who the fuck she is. All I know is when I get my hands on her she's in for it.
This one showed up and found herself on her knees, clothing stripped off, her head in a rubber hood and trapped in a metal cube with her wrists cuffed behind her. Then she's upside down, ass in the air, with a hook jammed up in it and tied to her air. A mirror underneath her so she can stare at herself drooling and intensify the humiliation.

WSDOT Toll Division Communications, 206-716-1133 (Seattle)
Annual increase part of original financial planOLYMPIA – Toll rates on the State Route 520 floating bridge will increase 2.5 percent in July – 9 cents on the peak rate of $3.50 and 3 cents on the lowest rate of $1.10 – as part of a planned, small annual increase through 2016 outlined in the program's financial plan. The Washington State Department of Transportation briefed the Washington State Transportation Commission today, March 21, that this is the first of four annual 2.5 percent rate increases planned through 2015. The rate increase is needed to ensure revenue will meet costs and make debt payments to the bondholders, as required by bond contracts and the project financial plan. Craig Stone, WSDOT Toll Division director, also told the commission today that SR 520 traffic and revenues are meeting expectations. For February, traffic was 19 percent higher than the plan's forecast and revenues are 7 percent higher than forecast, Stone said. "Tolling began Dec. 29 and we've had just two months of operation so far," Stone said. "We're pleased with the initial toll operations, and we'll continue on course with our financial plan, which includes the upcoming, small toll increase." The commission, which sets toll rates in the state, reviewed the toll-rate increase today and took no action. This, in effect, confirms that the increase will occur July 1. Rates will increase 2.5 percent annually through 2015, then followed by a planned increase of 15 percent in 2016. Any toll increases beyond 2016 would be determined by the transportation commission, which annually reviews traffic and revenue to determine toll rates. The new SR 520 floating bridge is planned for completion in late 2014. At the time of the initial rate-setting decision in January 2011, the commission chose to include the 15 percent step increase after project completion, rather than start with a higher initial toll rate, and maintain consistent annual increases of 2.5 percent for the first four years. With the 2.5 percent change, toll rates will be charged to the penny rather than rounded to the closest nickel. With no toll booths and all-electronic tolling, tolls to the penny can easily be collected. "Raising toll rates by 2.5 percent isn't expected to cause a significant increase in diversion," Stone said. "Trips across the SR 520 bridge have reached 60 to 70 percent of pre-toll levels, which is right about what we expected. And traffic volumes on I-90 have increased 5 to 10 percent – also what we expected." The July rate increase affects all rates, whether weekday, weekend, Pay By Plate, or Pay By Mail. About tolling on the SR 520 bridge Tolling on SR 520 is expected to raise $1 billion overall toward the $4.65 billion SR 520 bridge replacement and HOV program, which builds 12.8 miles of safety and mobility improvements from Interstate 5 in Seattle to State Route 202 in Redmond. The existing SR 520 floating bridge opened to traffic in 1963, and is vulnerable to sinking during a severe storm after weathering decades of wind and waves. The new bridge will better withstand storms and move more people across the lake with a new transit/HOV lane for buses and carpools in each direction. The target date to open the new bridge to traffic is December 2014.

Donating all artists profits to:
Eastside Arts Alliance / Visual Element
The modern box-style delivery truck lives in the inner cities all across America. For the modern day graffiti writer it is a contemporary relative to the subway cars of the 70's and 80's which helped spark the explosion of graffiti. In a state of eminent relocation, they assemble a disjointed gallery of ceaseless unrest, a perfect canvas for any opportunistic writer. Pristine new clean white box trucks not only invite as they call it "the application of a medium" to their surface, but beg for it. In the streets delivery trucks fit best after being worn and weathered as a pair of old shoes with scuff marks and layers of historical remnants. In an attempt to keep their property looking new, many truck owners will opt to give a graffiti writer permission to assume control over these plots of valuable real estate in the urban landscape. The Truck Show SF is an homage to this modern Icon of Graffiti, displaying these moving masterpieces to the public through the filter of 1AM Gallery in San Francisco (opening Saturday, February 10th).
The Truck Show SF is seeking to be a leader in Bay Area street art gallery shows by dedicating all of the profits for the artists to the non-profit organization Visual Element, which is the public arts component of the EastSide Arts Alliance. Visual Element is a visual arts and graffiti mural training program for high school youth. Because it is the only intensive "Urban Graffiti Arts" program in East Oakland serving high school youth, Visual Element attracts young aspiring artists and graffiti writers, usually ages 15-20. The class facilitates the production of walls through their engagement with local property owners and the community. Students are trained as responsible artists and contribute their skills to not only walls but, political banners for a number of social justice causes. The participants of Visual Element learn a variety of visual arts skills including spray can techniques, "graffiti" writing, mural brush painting, computer experience, digital photography and graphic design. They learn these skills through actual project based work, building a portfolio of work as they undergo their training. As they get more and more proficient they then are able to "shop" their skills back to the neighborhood. This sustainable cycle and the public art projects Visual Element creates, sends the message that productive and self-sufficient youth can contribute positive change to their neighborhoods. Murals educate, motivate to action, and inspire more creations of beauty and for that the organizers of The Truck Show SF are excited for their partnership with Visual Element. They look
forward to seeing the passion for graffiti go full circle to help teach and empower as all too often graffiti is deemed to be something that only takes from society. In these times of ultimate corporate greed and complete abandonment of government support for the arts, the organizers of The Truck Show SF hope to show that the graffiti writer does it for the love and that alone is powerful enough to help fuel and positively influence the next generation. With a wide price range of pieces everyone interested will be able to support the cause and take home a piece of graffiti history.

How to Shop for Fireplace Glass Doors
With energy costs soaring, many homeowners are frantically searching for ways to keep the cost down this next winter. One of the best ways to do this is to plug up one of the largest holes in your homeŌĆöyour fireplaceŌĆöby installing fireplace glass doors. Not only will a set of glass doors prevent heat from escaping up the chimney, their addition will greatly enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home, thereby increasing its value. Several door styles are available with stove type gasket seals to further increase the air tight seal. Furthermore, ceramic glass can be added to allow the radiant heat of the fire to transfer into the room, increasing the fireplace's heating ability. Whether you choose to hire a mason or install the doors yourself to save even more, installation is generally simple and fast. However, choosing from a wide variety of materials and finishes (not to mention an extensive price range) can be a daunting task when it comes to shopping for the glass doors. Making a few simple decisions before shopping for the doors will make your purchase much smoother.
1Consider your budget. Shoppers commonly wonder why there is such a broad price range for a simple pair of glass doors. In actuality, many factors affect the price of a set of doors. Some manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty on their doors; others offer a limited warranty, if any. In addition, if your fireplace is an unusual size, a set of custom doors may have to be built to accommodate those dimensions and this option will generally be more expensive. Finally, the price will vary based on the materials used to build the doors. Anodized aluminum, for instance, will build a more affordable set of doors than solid brass. Consider your budget, and have a personal price range in mind before you shop.Ad
2Consider your preferences. Will your door set include a mesh screen? What type of door style do you preferŌĆöcabinet or bi-fold? Would you enjoy the ease of a trackless door system? DonŌĆÖt assume that all doors are created equal. If youŌĆÖre concerned about fire safety with small children, invest in a set of doors with a screen. If space is limited on your hearth, look for bi-fold doors. While certain options add a little bit more to the cost, you may find the convenience is worth it.
3Consider your homeŌĆÖs decor. Do you live in a rustic log cabin? a sleek, modern home? a warm, traditional farmhouse? Pick a set of doors that will complement the style of the room. A set of fireplace doors with simple lines and steel accents would really enhance a ŌĆ£cutting-edge? fireplace. Possible materials could include anodized aluminum in a black matte finish, or upgrade to wrought iron. Add a few brushed nickel inserts and your fireplace is as sleek as you are. Are you at home on the range in a rustic retreat? Think anodized aluminum doors in a burnished bronze or vintage iron finish with leather accents, or spend a little more for a set in antique brass. If youŌĆÖve got some extra cash in hand, consider creating a custom designŌĆöperhaps a forest motifŌĆöor even personalize the doors! One ranch owner created a custom door design featuring his ranchŌĆÖs branding design. If you reside in a traditional home and your living room needs a special touch, consider installing an intricately designed pair of doors in a polished brass finishŌĆöeither choose anodized aluminum, or splurge for the real deal. YouŌĆÖve got the picture. If youŌĆÖre going to make the investment, be creative and make it beautiful. You want to make sure that your fireplace glass doors not only match the look of your fireplace but as well as the look of your existing home decor.
4Do your homework. Check out home improvement websites to read up on different styles and materials. Visit local showrooms to get a feel for the doors you think youŌĆÖd like. Find the best price for what youŌĆÖre looking for, and purchase from a reputable dealer. Fireplace doors will make all the difference in your home, so put some work into this purchaseŌĆö in the end, itŌĆÖs sure to pay off.Ad

An investigation into two Veterans Affairs Department conferences have led to employees being put on administrative leave and a top official's resignation as auditors found waste and mismanagement. The VA paid roughly $6.1 million for two conferences in 2011, but the planning was marred by leadership failures and ethical lapses, the department's inspector general reported Oct. 1.
The investigation has led to the resignation of John Sepulveda, VA's assistant secretary for human resources and administration (HR&A). He stepped down a day before the release of the report, which criticizes the department's questionable spending at two Florida conferences.
The IG found that Sepulveda failed to provide proper guidance to senior executives in his organization related to the conferences. Further, his statement was contrary to his memo to the VA's chief of staff, in which he wrote his office was controlling costs. According to several people, Sepulveda also had seen a video in whcih an actor parodied a famous scene from the movie "Patton," starring George C. Scott as Gen. George S. Patton. The video cost nearly $50,000 to make, and Sepulveda denies having seen it.
"His hands-off approach contributed to a lack of communications between HR&A senior executives resulting in confusion and a dysfunctional execution of roles and responsibilities," the IG wrote in the report. Largely, "senior leadership accepted little responsibility for fiscal stewardship."
In an interview with Federal Times, Sepulveda cited the IG report as the reason for his resignation, saying he "did not want to be a distraction for the administration, [VA] Secretary [Eric] Shinseki and the VA, especially as they continue to work each day to address the urgent needs of our nation's veterans."
Sepulveda's tenure at VA was a relatively brief one. He was sworn in May 20, 2009, having served previously at the Office of Personnel Management, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Federal Housing Administration.
More broadly, the IG found that VA officials did not keep track of their spending adequately, leaving auditors unable to get a complete picture of cost. In fact, VA's processes and the oversight were too weak, ineffective, and in some instances, nonexistent, according to a new report. With the poor documentation, investigators questioned about $762,000 as unauthorized, unnecessary, or simply wasteful expenses.
Further, investigators found that 11 VA employees, who were in charge of managing the conferences, improperly accepted gifts from contractors that were seeking to do business or already doing business with VA. Some VA employees were also buying on the government's behalf despite having no authority. In addition, one unidentified federal employee has been referred to the Justice Department for prosecution, VA IG officials said in an Oct. 1 conference call.
VA Inspector General George Opfer said Oct. 1 that VA leadership had significant failures in oversight of the conferences, ethical violations by employees, and a lack of management controls and accountability over costs and commitments. "Beyond the individual ethical lapses, which cast all federal employees in a bad light, the management failures resulted in unnecessary costs and unauthorized commitments that diminished these legitimate training events," Opfer said.
While VA is under investigation for its spending, the conferences fulfilled valid training needs. At the conferences, VA provided 57 individual classes per conference, training about 1,800 VA employees in all.
The IG opened an administrative investigation into the HR conferences, which were held in Orlando, Fla., in July and August 2011, after receiving allegations of wasteful spending. Staff audited conference expenditures for compliance with government laws and regulations and investigated whether VA employees complied with ethics and rules of behavior. In addition, the IG checked on the reasonableness of the costs and how well they were overseen.
On Aug. 14, VA officials removed the purchasing authority of any employee in the office that is under investigation by the IG, while the investigation was ongoing. Shinseki has also directed an outside, independent review of all training policies and procedures, including the training conferences. The review should be finished by later this fall.
So far, department officials agreed with the recommendations in the IG's report and laid out plans to address the management faults surrounding the two conferences, and employee misconduct.
"Regarding IG recommendations relating to named career employees, to ensure due process, the secretary will appoint senior officials to review evidence of wrongdoing and to recommend appropriate administrative action. Two of these employees were placed on administrative leave, pending review," according to a statement from the VA. Citing privacy considerations, VA officials did not release more detail, but said that "employees who have misused taxpayer dollars or violated VA standards of conduct will be held accountable."
Linda Halliday, assistant IG for audits and evaluations, said the IG will be watching as VA officials institute the recommendations. "We will certainly be looking at how well VA implements these new policies and procedures, and whether there is an acceptable level of compliance with them as we move forward," she said.
In August, VA officials directed ethics training for all department employees involved with the planning and conducting training conferences. Contracting specialists will be recertified as well.
Agencies and their conference spending have been in the spotlight since April, when the General Services Administration's inspector general released an investigation of the 2010 Western Regions Conference in Las Vegas. And increasingly tight budgets have also prompted agencies to more carefully track where their money goes, and question whether a given conference is worthwhile. Since April, GSA Acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini has canceled more than 30 conferences because he did not find a clear need for the event.

I have been sick since 2009.I have had good & bad experiences with the VA care.They cured my Hep C when the new drug came out I completed 48 weeks of treatment.Mind you I have heart failure,no one ever sent me to cardiology to check out my heart.I was to sick from the treatment to demand it.But they knew I was fainting & having episodes of very low blood pressure.Finnally in Dec. 20013 I ended up in the ER at WSLA VA for heart failure & couldn't breath.I didn't get a bed for two days.I slept & had to listen to all the drama for 2 days in the ER.Finally they did test & my aortic valve was stenosed. They prepped me for open heart surgery pulled 9 of my teeth did test.Then after 2 weeks in the hospital they sent me home said I was to high risk for open heart surgery.The head dr. said they would give my case to San Francisco to there experts.I went home & continued to worsen.The dr. called after 2 weeks & said the San Francisco drs. said I was to high risk as well & everything stopped.Of course I ended up back in the hospital my 3rd time for heart failure they even called in Palliative care.My wife was begging them to do something and me as well.Finnally a young Cardiolgy fellow hand walked my case over to Cedars Sinai Hospital to show it to Dr. Makkar who does the most TAVR Valve replacements in the country.He said yes, I can do the valve.Then the head dr. started the process to get me there.I had the surgery 4 days later because I was dying.The VA just sent the authorization for the surgery a week ago.I had the surgery 4 months ago. Thank God for our angel the young Cardiac fellow who cared enough to get me to the hospital & Dr. I needed or I would be a dead man with the VA.
This is so upsetting. I am a Federal Employee and were on a pay freeze. This money could have help other Federal employees and Veterans Benefits.
Memorial Affairs is an equally offensive operation within VA. VAOIG should look into that organization as well. One need only count up the number of SES positions they've accumulated and compare that to the relatively small population to see the waste that is perpetrated on the public. What a shame! The USMA should be shown the door!
Good, fire and prosecute them all. There are enough good people with integrety and a since of ethics working for the government or that want to that can take their place. I'm sure they may not be as qualified as these crooks, but to me it integrity and honesty are more important than superior qualifications that honest people can learn.
This is just another example of the waste, greed and selfishness that has become "normal" in our society. My husband is a disabled vietnam veteran who has had a claim into the VA for over two years, and we still are waiting for a decision. It seems there is enough money for their conferences and such, but none for the men who sacrificed their sanity for this country. The VA is well-known for taking their time to examine, expound, send back for simple errors (rather than place a phone call) and general rudeness when dealing with the vets. As far as I am concerned and many other wives, Vietname vets are being shoved to the back and the VA is basically waiting for them to die from their injuries or kill themselves from their PTSD! Shame, shame, shame

Product Description
"Following a period of experimentation, in 1989, the Italian artist Dario Cusani created his 'interiors' series (in particular, his study of 'the living room') s portraits of a family followed by his 'places of memories' series (cities). Though his persona is never present in his art, Cusani's works are actually n interior portrait transmitted via these 'places'; the home, the city, the factory. places that represent the memories of life. Irony, provocation nd the unexpected are characteristics favored by Cusani who deliberately makes light of existential problems, 'throwing a stone into the still ond of the conscience.' The images include iconic references to the City of New York including: The New York Subway, Yellow cabs, the Statue f Liberty, Ground Zero/the Twin Towers, and the Big Apple, each image with a descriptive critique of the artwork."

I'm a software engineer in Europe, and my firm is about to offer me a position in the US to bring up a team (In San Francisco or New York, it's still not decided yet)…
Though looking at the job market in the US the salaries do not match at all the European one, which look like being way higher than in Western Europe. It somehow looks like a ~€50-55k salary in Western Europe matches a $100-120k there. I know there are many things (like retirement, healthcare…) that are included in European salaries that are not in US ones.
So is there any way, any rule of thumb, that could help me match US salaries with Western European ones?
N.B.: as western european I'm mostly talking about France, UK, Germany, Belgium, for which the difference net and gross salary is about 75% on average. And I'm comparing salaries in IT market in metropolitan areas, of course.

Castle Megastore Group Incorporated v. Wilson et al
Filing 47
ORDER Defendants' motions to dismiss (Docs. 17 , 22 ) are granted. The complaint (Doc. 1) is dismissed without prejudice. Consistent with the Court's discussion with the parties at the recent Rule 16 conference, Plaintiff is granted lea ve to file an amended complaint on or before March 15, 2013, following which the parties shall have 30 days to attempt to resolve this case. A further scheduling conference will be held on April 17, 2013, at 4:00 p.m. If the case has not been resolved by that date, the Court will set a litigation schedule for completion of the case. Signed by Judge David G Campbell on 2/25/2013. (KMG)
1 WO 2 3 4 5 6 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 8 9 Castle Megastore Group, Inc., Plaintiff, 10 11 ORDER v. 12 No. CV-12-02101-PHX-DGC Kylee Wilson et al, Defendants. 13 14 On October 3, 2012, Plaintiff Castle Megastore Group, Inc. ("CMG") filed a 15 complaint against Kylee Wilson, Michael Keith Flynn, and Alma Pilar Quintana and their 16 spouses alleging breaches of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, breaches of 17 fiduciary duties, breaches of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, violation 18 of the Stored Communications Act, and conversion. Doc. 1. Wilson filed a motion to 19 dismiss on November 6, 2012 (Doc. 17), and Quintana filed a motion raising virtually 20 identical arguments on November 19, 2012 (Doc. 22). Plaintiff filed a consolidated 21 response to the motions (Doc. 29) and both Defendants filed replies (Docs. 36-37). 22 Defendant Flynn filed a notice of joinder in the motions to dismiss. Doc. 26. Plaintiff 23 opposed joinder (Doc. 30) and Flynn filed a reply (Doc. 40).1 All motions have been 24 fully briefed and no party has requested oral argument. For the reasons that follow, the 25 Court will grant Defendants' motions to dismiss. 26 27 1 28 Plaintiff's response opposes joinder on the substance of the arguments in favor of the motions to dismiss. The Court will consider the briefing on the joinder issue as additional briefing on the motions to dismiss. 1 I. Background. CMG is a retailer of novelty and adult-themed merchandise incorporated in 2 3 Arizona and with its principal place of business in Tempe, Arizona. Doc. 1 at 2. 4 Defendants are all Arizona residents and former employees of CMG and their spouses. 5 Doc. 1 at 2-3. As a condition of their employment, each Defendant signed confidentiality 6 agreements that included non-compete clauses. Doc. 1 at 4. 7 CMG alleges that Wilson posted an image of a computer screen displaying the 8 company's computer system on Twitter on August 9, 2012. Doc. 1 ¶ 29. Over the next 9 week, CMG claims that Wilson prepared application materials to other companies that 10 contained "confidential information regarding CMG, including CMG's facilities data, the 11 Company's employees, its annual revenue, information regarding its systems and 12 business strategies, sales strategies, sales numbers and programs." Doc. 1 ¶ 25. Wilson 13 was terminated on August 20, 2012. 14 CMG alleges that while still employed as the "Social Media Specialist," Lynn 15 posted a video of a "confidential CMG Managers' meeting" to a third party website 16 called Vimeo. Doc. 1 ¶ 35; Doc. 1-1 at 22. CMG claims that Flynn shared the link and 17 password to his account with Quintana on September 21, 2012, and with Wilson on 18 September 24, 2012. Doc. 1 ¶ 36. It also alleges that further email communications 19 between the three former employees disclosed other confidential information regarding 20 the company. Doc. 1 ¶ 37. Flynn was terminated on September 24, 2012 (Doc. 1 ¶ 38) 21 and Quintana resigned on July 3, 2012 (Doc. 1 ¶ 50). 22 II. Legal Standard. 23 When analyzing a complaint for failure to state a claim to relief under 24 Rule 12(b)(6), the well-pled factual allegations are taken as true and construed in the light 25 most favorable to the nonmoving party. Cousins v. Lockyer, 568 F.3d 1063, 1067 (9th 26 Cir. 2009). Legal conclusions couched as factual allegations are not entitled to the 27 assumption of truth, Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 680 (2009), and they are insufficient 28 to defeat a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, In re Cutera Sec. Litig., 610 F.3d -2- 1 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010). To avoid a Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal, the complaint must 2 plead "enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Bell Atl. Corp. 3 v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007). 4 III. Analysis. 5 A. 6 The Stored Communications Act ("SCA"), 18 U.S.C. § 2701, provides a cause of 7 Stored Communications Act. action against anyone who: 8 (1) intentionally accesses without authorization a facility through which an electronic communication service is provided; or 9 10 (2) intentionally exceeds an authorization to access that facility; and thereby obtains, alters, or prevents authorized access to a wire or electronic communication while it is in electronic storage in such system. 11 12 13 An electronic communication service is defined as "any service which provides to users 14 thereof the ability to send or receive wire or electronic communications." 18 U.S.C. 15 § 2510(15). 16 CMG alleges that Flynn violated the SCA when he posted the video of the 17 manager's meeting on an account he created on a third party website and when he gave 18 Wilson and Quintana access to the site. It alleges that Wilson and Quintana violated the 19 SCA when they accessed the link. 20 Defendants argue that CMG has failed adequately to allege that they accessed an 21 "electronic communication service" within the meaning of the statute. Doc. 22 at 4-5. 22 CMG emphasizes that the statute covers "any service which provides to users the ability 23 to send or receive wire or electronic communications," and points to case law holding 24 that third party websites can be electronic communication services under the SCA. See 25 Konop v. Hawaiian Airlines, Inc., 302 F.3d 868, 880 (9th Cir. 2002) (finding employee's 26 personal website was an electronic communication service); Pure Power Boot Camp, v. 27 Warrior Fitness Boot, 587 F. Supp. 2d 548, 556 (S.D.N.Y. 2008) (holding that private 28 employer email accounts are electronic communication services). CMG argues that the -3- 1 third party website in this case, Vimeo, was an electronic communication service and that 2 Defendants "were aware of the confidential content of the video before accessing it and 3 that Flynn did not have the authority to authorize them to access the website to view the 4 video." Doc. 29 at 8. 5 While Vimeo might be an electronic communication service, CMG provides no 6 support for its assertion that Flynn did not have authority to authorize others to view his 7 Vimeo account. Flynn created the account and provided his password to Wilson and 8 Quintana. CMG alleges that he was not authorized to have or to share the video, but they 9 do not allege that he obtained the video by accessing an electronic communication 10 service that was controlled by CMG.2 Without additional facts, CMG has not alleged that 11 Defendants gained unauthorized access to an electronic communication service. Sending 12 or using a link and password to access a personal account created on a third party website 13 does not appear to violate the SCA. 14 CMG also alleges that Flynn changed the password of the Facebook account he 15 created for CMG after the date he was terminated (Doc. 1 ¶ 42), and that changing the 16 password is a separate ground for finding that Flynn violated the SCA (Doc. 30 at 7-8). 17 But CMG has not alleged any facts about the company's use of the Facebook page from 18 which the Court could conclude that the page was an electronic communication service 19 under the SCA. The Court may not "assume any facts necessary to the [plaintiffs=] claim 20 that they have not alleged." Jack Russell Terrier Network of N. Cal. v. Am. Kennel Club, 21 Inc., 407 F.3d 1027, 1035 (9th Cir. 2005). The threadbare statement that Flynn changed 22 the Facebook password (a statement that is not even repeated under the SCA claim 23 heading later in the complaint) does not state a claim under the SCA. 24 B. State Law Claims. 25 Jurisdiction in this case is based on the federal question presented by the SCA 26 claim, with supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims. Doc. 1 ¶ 11; 28 U.S.C 27 2 28 In CMG's response in opposition to Flynn's notice of joinder, CMG claims that Flynn gained access to the video through CMG's IT systems. Doc. 30 at 6-7. This allegation, however, is not set out in the complaint. See Doc. 1 ¶¶ 35-49. -4- 1 §§ 1331 & 1367. A district court may decline to exercise supplemental jurisdiction if 2 "the district court has dismissed all claims over which it has original jurisdiction." 28 3 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3). The Supreme Court has instructed that "'if the federal claims are 4 dismissed before trial . . . the state claims should be dismissed as well.'" Carnegie- 5 Mellon Univ. v. Cohill, 484 U.S. 343, 350 n. 7 (1988) (quoting United Mine Workers of 6 America v. Gibbs, 383 U.S. 715, 726 (1966)). While not a hard-and-fast rule, that 7 statement has come to mean that "in the usual case in which all federal-law claims are 8 eliminated before trial, the balance of factors . . . will point toward declining to exercise 9 jurisdiction over the remaining state-law claims." Id. 10 All of the remaining claims against Defendants are based on Arizona law. Having 11 dismissed the SCA claim, the basis for this Court's federal question jurisdiction no longer 12 exists. The Court declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims 13 that would more appropriately be litigated in state court. 14 IT IS ORDERED: 15 1. 16 Defendants' motions to dismiss (Docs. 17, 22) are granted. The complaint (Doc. 1) is dismissed without prejudice. 2. 17 Consistent with the Court's discussion with the parties at the recent Rule 16 18 conference, Plaintiff is granted leave to file an amended complaint on or before 19 March 15, 2013, following which the parties shall have 30 days to attempt to resolve this 20 case. 21 3. A further scheduling conference will be held on April 17, 2013, at 22 4:00 p.m. If the case has not been resolved by that date, the Court will set a litigation 23 schedule for completion of the case. 24 Dated this 25th day of February, 2013. 25 26 27 28 -5-

December 22, 2014
SPARKS, NV - Most of the residents evacuated from the Open Circles Apartment complex in Sparks are back home, but 12 families need to wait until a wall is rebuilt and new gas meters are installed.
Around 6:30AM Wednesday, a man driving a pickup backed up through a fence, over gas meters and into the wall of a building. The resulting gas leak led to the evacuation of four buildings, but the residents of three of them are already back home.
NV Energy shut off the gas quickly, but damage was extensive enough that construction is needed before that building can be reinhabited. An apartment spokesperson says that could be as soon as Thursday.
Nobody is hurt. The driver has been cited for careless driving, and driving without license or insurance.
Open Circles is on Merchant Street in Sparks.

Subject: Hiring Priority
We have been fortunate to attract and hire some outstanding people in the last year. We have integrated these people into areas where we had substantial needs, and we are starting to look toward the future. Now, we are beginning to search for the "next generation" of leaders for [redacted] Investments.
The first, and primary, hire that we are going to focus on in this area is to find someone who will work directly with me. They will learn our business from the ground up with me as their primary coach.

Who Wants To Be CEO Of RBS?By Bess Levin
Chairman Phillip Hampton will lead a search for a CEO successor and will consider both internal and external candidates, the bank said. It may be difficult to find a replacement given the political interference in how it is run, said Crispin Odey, whose London-based Odey Asset Management LLP oversees $9.5 billion. "The real problem for the government is that they've made the job look so unattractive that I can't imagine who they are going to fill it with," said Odey, who said he sold his RBS shares because of government meddling in the bank.
