$58.7M sale price for 1 E. Pratt compares well with pre-recession deals
- Kevin Litten
- Reporter- Baltimore Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Downtown office building 1 E. Pratt St. fetched $58.7 million, or $165 per square foot, when it sold to Emmes Asset Management Co. LLC last week, Cassidy Turley disclosed Thursday.
The price indicates the downtown office sales market has returned to pre-recession levels, though there are relatively few office buildings to compare the sale to.
Only two Class A office buildings that sold before the recession are comparable to 1 E. Pratt St. in location: 100 E. Pratt St., which sold in 2005, and 250 W. Pratt St., which sold in 2004.
When 100 E. Pratt St. sold for $207.5 million, or $316 per square foot, it was widely seen as a record-breaking transaction that wouldn't be topped anytime soon.
It was also viewed as the premiere office building in downtown Baltimore, with high-profile anchor tenant T. Rowe Price and a low vacancy rate.
A year before that sale, 250 W. Pratt St. sold for $51.8 million, or $136 per square foot. That price is more in line with an asset such as 1 E. Pratt St. When adjusted for inflation, the $136-per-square-foot price at 250 W. Pratt St. works out to $164 in 2013 — just $1 less than 1 E. Pratt St.'s price-per-square-foot at closing last week.
Another similar building, 300 E. Lombard St., commanded a similar price when it sold in 2004 for $40 million. Though not on the Pratt Street corridor, that building went for $165 per square foot — the price as 1 E. Pratt St.
Of course, not every building is a complete match, with the condition of the building and its vacancy rate serving as key considerations for buyers.
At 1 E. Pratt St., the building is about 70 percent leased, offering opportunities for Emmes to increase its revenue over time with new tenants. Former owner Griffith Properties LLC also completed a $15 million renovation in the building after purchasing it in 2006, which was key to the sale.
In the end, however, 1 E. Pratt St.'s price — representing a $38 million premium on what Griffith paid in 2006 — is likely to be seen as the bellwether for future office sales downtown, at least in the near future.

Merry Amero
Winnipeg-born singer-songwriter takes positive outlook on Christmas tour
For Don Amero, a Christmas tour just made sense.
As a guy with a positive musical outlook and a deep-rooted inclination to spread joy during the festive season, the Winnipeg-born singer-songwriter says a series of festively focused gigs seemed like a natural thing to add to his schedule as his career and audience began to grow.
"I just got to thinking about how much effort you put into learning all these Christmas songs, and I figured that it would be great to get to use them more than once," says Amero, whose fourth annual holiday concert effort, Amero Little Christmas, stops this Friday at the West End Cultural Centre. "So I thought, 'Why not bring them around to some of our friends on the Prairies?'
"I started out by taking it to a few communities that I have some connections and family ties to, and then it grew from there. It started out as just getting a few folks out to celebrate Christmas with some songs, and we've actually turned it into more of a show now, with some video and some other great artists that I'm partnered with."
Amero Little Christmas features musical contributions from Amero, the recent winner of the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Award for male entertainer of the year, and from local folk/roots trio Red Moon Road. The show features a mix of traditional and original festive tunes, including songs from Amero's seasonal EP, Christmastime, which was released last year.
There is, without question, a strong indication of Amero's affection for all things Christmas in the fact he has devoted so much energy to writing his own collection of yuletide tunes.
"The season of Christmas, to me, is about giving and remembering and family, and that's the kind of person I am anyway," says Amero, 32, whose festive season this year will be focused mostly on watching his one-year-old son, Oscar, celebrate his first Christmas as a toddler. "So writing songs about those themes isn't particularly hard for me, because I do want to give back, and I do want to support people in my community and abroad. That's something that has always been close to my heart."
Amero says there's a delicate art to creating the set list for a Christmas show, because even audiences filled with fans of his original music will arrive expecting to hear a lot of the tried-and-true holiday staples.
"I think it's about starting off with songs that are somewhat familiar, on a happy note that gets people tapping their toes and in the mood for the evening," he explains, "but even with traditional Christmas songs, I try to put a bit of my own spin on them. It's a matter of really carefully crafting a set that's a balance -- not too much original stuff, because people do want to hear those songs that they're familiar with at this time of year. I think we've done a really nice job with it; I think it's a really good balance of originals and classics."
Amero admits that it's a bit tricky to put his own "spin" on a seasonal favourite such as Silent Night, which has been sung to essentially the same musical arrangement for centuries, but is quick to add that he thinks it's a chance worth taking.
"Obviously, there's some risk," he says. "But as I say at the outset of every show, this is our flavour of these songs, and I think we keep them close enough that people can hang in there with us if they want to sing along. There are a couple of songs that are very traditional in the way we're singing them, but there some others, like a very groovy version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, that are a bit different.
"That one was inspired by this great bass riff that Daniel from Red Moon Road came up with the other night, and we all said, 'That is so cool; we have to do it that way.' For me, it's fun to put our own twist on things. As an audience member, I always love hearing other artists' interpretation of songs."
Which is not, however, to suggest that Amero is in favour of abandoning the traditional approach to seasonal songs. Consider his answer to the inevitable question about what his own favourite Christmas songs are:
"Oh, that's easy," he says. "Anything by Bing Crosby."

Searched the forums a bit for water filters, and came up with some links/topics however a number of them are a bit outdated.
It looks like you can put together a water filter from Lowes/Home Depot for just around $60 or so, give or take $10 (seen here: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/wate...r-setup-29145/ ) - however on one of those threads someone linked to www.buckeyefieldsupply.com - they appear to be involved in aquariums and providing filtered water for fish tanks.
Specifically, if you check out: http://www.buckeyefieldsupply.com/sh...ry=216&Sub=130
They seem to have some decent water filters which look pretty appealing. Especially considering the ones linked on that page can be bought for much less than assembling one from Lowes/Home Depot. Any thoughts on the above linked filters? Anyone experience with BuckEyeFieldSupply? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the Chloramine Special RODI.
These appear to be reverse osmosis/deionized units. If you're brewing extract, you should be fine. If you're brewing all grain, you'll need to add minerals back to the water before using for brewing.
Also, the link to buckeyefieldsupply appears to be for only the filter refills ... the unit itself is here: http://www.buckeyefieldsupply.com/sh...ry=168&Sub=166
One other thing to consider with these units is the flow rate and backflush frequency. Most household RO units have a fairly slow flow rate (many use a storage tank).
Personally, I use only a carbon block filter (). My water has chloramines, but I find a slow flow rate through my filter helps to reduce them to undetectable levels.
You're right on those only being refills. Missed that.
Good point about that filter stripping the minerals away.. definitely not something that I'd want to do.
So you're pretty satisfied with the filter from MoreBeer?
I use a two filter under the sink unit made by Omni-Filter... Had it installed soon after moving into my current apartment. Filters are not that expensive, neither are the units. I typically use a 2 micron first filter, with a .5 micron second filter. Pulls out all the things you don't want, but leaves just a little of what you probably want. Flow rate is really good too. Especially when the filters are still fairly new (just changed them earlier this week)... You can find Omni-Filter online, and probably at Home Depot (that's where I got mine several years back).
I used the culligan under sink filter that they sell on Amazon for 20 bucks. Comes with a cheap filter and the good ones are only 10 bucks.
-Retired Homebrewer
When I brewed extract, I filled bottles at the store ... After going to grain, I picked up a filter so I wouldn't have to buy spring water (has minerals, but is $$$). I've never used unfiltered tap water for brewing, since they add chloramines to our water. If you're tasting off flavors, definitely look into a filter ...
I'll also admit that I used a regular garden hose to get my water (I know, I wasn't even thinking of it). Funny considering I was so caraeful with cleaning/sanitation for everything else, yet used water from a regular garden hose - Doh! So I'm planning on picking up a white RV drinking water hose to use for supplying my water (I brew on a back balcony in an apartment, so carrying water from the sink to the back balcony is a pain - hence the hose).
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the off-taste is from the garden hose, but figure that when I switch over the white RV drinking water hose I'd put a filter on the end of it anyways. Why take any chances, ya know? Sounds like I'll just look into building that filter from Lowes - if I went with the one from MoreBeer it sounds like I'd need hose adapters.
Thanks for all the input. Hopefully other noobs can learn from my mistakes!
Pur filters have a mineral pur which filters and adds minerals. I dont care how they praise of leaving flouride in your water though

Struzzi 57 ABSTRACT A confectionary composition and more particularly a chewing gum composition is prepared which is free from both sucrose and artificial sweeteners and which presents a pleasant cooling effect in the mouth of the consumer. The confections of this invention are prepared from compositions containing a major amount of xylitol.
8 Claims, No Drawings XYLITOL CHEWING GUM This is a continuation, of application Serial No. 102,139, filed Dec. 28, I970 now abandoned.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE I INVENTION Su'garless confectionary compositions, and in partictlular sugarless chewing gums, have become desirable fooditems due tothe efforts of the dental profession in discouraging the use of sucrose-containing confectionaries.
Heretofore most successful attempts to produce sugarless chewing gums have involved the use of an artificial sweetener together with sorbitol and/or mannitol in place of the sucrose present in conventional chewing gums, and the substitution of various hydrophilic colloids ("e.g. gums) for'the corn syrup present in conventional chewing gums. Recently however, artificial sweeteners have been viewed with some disfavor by medical authorities and the public has become cautious about consuming artificially sweetened foods; additionally, some artificial sweeteners leave an unfavorable aftertaste in the mouth of the consumer. It has also been a problem to produce sugarless chewing gums which simulate the texture and chewing characteristics of conventional chewing gum.
The present invention overcomes the problems encountered in most of the previous attempts at formulating a sugarless chewing gum by producing a chewing gum composition wherein the sucrose and corn syrup components of conventional chewing gums are replaced by'xylitol and glycerol respectively.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Xylitol is a pentahydric alcohol which is prepared.
most commonly by the hydrolysis of ,xylan ('a common constituent of wood, corncobsfland oilseed hulls) to form xylose, followed by the reduction of xylose to xylitol by hydrogenation under pressure in the presence of "a nickel catalyst. Xylitol appears as a crystalline compound which possesses a sweetness level of about 90% that of sucrose, and xylitol is metabolized in the body to glycogen byway of the Pentose-phosphate pathway and is thus safely consumed by diabetics.
Xylitol is readily soluble in water, possesses a relatively large negative heat of solution and is capable,
when present in sufficient quantities of producing a cooling effect, in the mouth.
According to the present invention a sugarless chewing gum composition is formed with from about 50 to 80% by weight of xylitol, from about 18 to 30% by weight of a gum base, from about 2 to 6% by weight of glycerol and sufficient flavor and color agents to produce a commercially desirable product. A more preferred proportion for xylitol when xylitol is used asthe LII exclusive replacement for'the sucrose of conventional chewing gum is from about 65% to 80%.
It is also contemplated by'this invention to'include minor amounts (up to about"% by weight) of sorbitol and/or mannitol in the formulation in addition tothe xylitol; however, it is an essential feature of this inven tion that the xylitol bepresent in the formulation at a level which will lend sufficient sweetness to. the composition and which will also yield the desirable cooling effect. This will nomially require the presence of xylitol in the chewing gum-composition in the amount of at least 50% by weight. T
The gum bases which may be employed in this invention may include natural gums, synthetic'resins, waxes, fillers and softeners. The commercially available chickle gum bases have proven quite satisfactory for use in this invention as have the synthetic gum bases now also commercially available.
The glycerol component is used in this invention in order to soften the gum base to the extent that the base will be capable of binding the crystalline material. The
.final texture and chewing characteristics of the gum can be controlled by varying the amount of glycerol in the composition.
Flavor and color agents may be added to the chewing gum composition of this invention as desired. Flavoring agents include all natural, essential or synthetic flavoring oils and compounds normally accepted for food use. I
This invention is further illustrated, but not limited by the following example EXAMPLE A sugarless chewing gum consisting of:
Xylitol 71% Gurn Base 24% Glycerol 4% Flavor 1 is prepared by heating the gum base to l50F in a mixer, adding the glycerol to the base and mixing for about 5 minutes, adding the xylitol to the mixer and continuing the mixing for another 5 minutes. The mixture is then cooled to 40F and the flavor is added and mixed. The resulting composition is then formed into sheets, cut into sticks and wrapped t i Having thus described the invention what is claimed l. A sugarless chewing gum which presents a pleasant cooling effect in the mouth comprising on a weight ,basis xylitol 50 to and gum base 18% to 30%.

Im just started kegging. Is there any reason my tank would already be in the red zone (order gas) after only 1 and 1/4 kegs. I thought a 5 lb tank would last for 5 or 6 kegs at least. I force carbed them both, and checked for leaks at the start. Does force carbing use up alot of CO2? or do you think I've got a leak?
Ive got a dual output regulator, but only one keg hooked up right now. The 2nd gas hose has been connected the whole time. It has only been about 3 weeks. What's up?
You have a leak somewhere.
EdWortHaus Pale Ale, Bavarian Hefeweizen, Robust Porter, Oktoberfest Ale, Wounded Knee IPA, Rye IPA, BCB IPA, Kolsch, Apfelwein
Yeah, that's what I suspected. Is there a troubleshooting process or any threads on the subject of leak detection? I'll probably just have to use my noggin I guess.
yeah I know the soapy water thing, thats how I tested it before. The keg held pressure. Could the leak be from the regulator? I'll check it all again.
Is the tank in the fridge with the kegs? If so, weigh the tank. If it's still 4 pounds over the tare weight stamped on the tank, you're still full and the tank pressure was just lowered by the temp.
This is seriously one of the most frequent questions.
Welcome to BrewHardware.com. I love you.New 100% Stainless Steel Heating Elements are IN! ULWD 5500w Ripple, 2000w, 1500w, etcChugger Pumps, Pump Kits, Camlocks, Sightglasses, Clear USA made Silicone Tubing, RIMS, Electric Install Parts, etc.
And the most common leak point is the connection to the tank. I still run a check every time I connect a fresh tank because the difference between a leak and sealed is only 1/8 of a turn, but I galled the connector once over-tightening.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
The gage will read lower when it's cold.
Move it to room temp and you'll see a big difference on the gage...
Be sure to check the regulator...especially the gauges attched to it. I slowly lost 2 x 20lbs tanks of CO2 before realizing that my brand new regulator had a leak where the high pressure gauge screws in.
Right on, I checked the whole system for leaks with soapy water last night. No bubbles/leaks visible, unless they were so small I missed them. I wondered if the "leak detector" solution that ive seen for sale is worth it, does anyone use this stuff?
But ultimately I was thinking that it might have something to do with the temperature. I noticed that it went down immediately when I first put it in the fridge. So hopefully that is the culprit. Should I pull it out to recalibrate it, then put it back in before turning the gas back on? If anyone knows of the links to other threads, i'd be grateful. But Id me most grateful to know that there are no leaks! Thanks

seems to work!
use a q tip or a cotton ball to apply lightly !!! it does a nice shed in about 4 days from treatmentRead More
product never arrived
Horrible experience! Order the product with the hope of using it before the holidays. It never came, I had 4 conversations with Overstock and was given the run around. Finally today they said it would be resolved and shipment would arrive in approximately 7 days. Previous shipment did not have tracking , just ridiculous! So much for a fresh face for the holidays................Read More
Good Product
I followed the instructions that are included with the product. I have to say that I am more conservative when using products like this and from what I have read from other reviews I am glad I was. Have never had burning or horrible pealing.Read More
gives baby soft skin great product would order againRead More
Works but follow directions
I've had peels done in the past at a local day spa and I can tell you they are very expensive. I decided to try it myself to save money. One treatment cost about $175 at the day spa, and I can get about 8 applications or more just out of this bottle, that's a tremendous savings! The results are about the same, the feel of the peel was similar and tingled the same or more. BUT PLEASE - follow the directions please because they walk you step by step, and you may want to get one done at the spa just to see how it feels or compares. I really love the smoothness it does for my skin. I can already see my scars starting to diminish after the 4th treatment.Read More
intense & works great
PLEASE follow the directions because I can imagine it would be easy to hurt yourself with this product. I initially over-applied it on my face because i didn't feel any burning after the first swipe. Afer applyting the second layer, WOW! I was gritting my teeth and fanning my face in a hurry. I had to wash it off before the recommended time. My skin didn't peel until the 3rd day after apllication and it took about another 2 days to rid all the dead skin. My face was noticeably smoother afterwards. This bottle will last me well over a year. What a savings! Please don't stop offering this product. 2 of my other friends are using it now as well and say it works the same as what they've paid for at salons.Read More

Questions & Answers
TCA peels work wonders on age spots.
Has this product been tested on animals? :(
Hello linny13, I hope your day is going well. The product has not been tested on animals. Thank you for shopping with us.
how long my skin will be peeling after the first application?
Hello happygirl, according to our customer reviews yes. This is a serious facial peel application and you should consult with a professional for a personal consultation prior to your first use. Thank you for shopping with us. Rochelle B
I am always careful not to use too much, which is what the directions recommended. If I use it more than 3x in one week, there is light peeling that lasts a couple of days. I use good facial creams with emu oil as well.
Can the product be used on any body part? i am African american and i have discolorations on the backs of my thighs. Would the level 2 be strong enough to make a significant difference
Hello camiev29, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the information you have requested is currently unavailable. We will continue to try and answer this for you. You will receive an email notification once an answer is posted. Have a great day.
What are the differences between glycolic and sylicical acids?
Thank you for your question queendd. There are some similarities between salicylic and glycolic acids, especially in their uses in the cosmetic care industry, there are also important major differences in their applications and physical attributes. Glycolic acid is odorless and is derived from glycol. Absent of color, ethylene glycol is used in making inks, polishes and antifreeze. Glycolic acid is naturally found in grapes that have not ripened yet. For coloring and for use as a catalyst, glycolic acid is made synthetically. Salicylic acid is the base compound for aspirin. Deriving from the willow tree bark, the early form known as "salicin" was discovered in 1838. When salicin is dissolved in water, it becomes salicylic acid. Aspirin, otherwise known as acetylsalicylic acid, is used for reducing fever and for relieving muscle pain. Have a great day.
It says to use an "appropriate applicator pad" - does a cotton ball or cotton pad work or do I need something else?
Thank you for your interest in the Perfect Image TCA Skin Peel with Salicylic Acid. Now Salicylic Acid can be a very dangerous acid in stronger concentrations. A cotton ball would be ok if you use rubber gloves so the prolonged exposure to the fingers does not cause burns or blisters. If not rubber gloves then you can get a preferred applicator from our beauty section to apply the product safely in which that is what we recommend. We hope this helps. Have a great day.
fingers its not that strong
Q-tips work well because you don't lose as much product and it does not get on your fingers.
I used a cotton pad/ball and it worked fine.
Can the TCA Skin peel with Salicylic acid be used on African American Skin? I am a medican tan color darker than Beyonce but lighter than Mary J Blige. Thank you, Angela
Yes, this item can be used on any skin type.

Best Reasons to Use a Facial Toner
Facial toners are an important part of a quality skin care regimen. Choosing the right facial toner for your facial treatment collection will depend on your specific skin care needs. Different formulations of beauty products and facial toner are designed to treat different skin types and conditions. Once you know the best reasons to use a facial toner, you will be able to choose the skin products to complement your skin care routine.
Top 5 Benefits of Alpha-Hydroxy Acid
Alpha-hydroxy acid skin products are designed to break the bonds that hold dry, damaged skin cells together. Once these bonds are broken, healthy, fresh and youthful skin can shine through. Alpha-hydroxy acid is available in a wide range of skin care products, including cleansers, creams and anti-aging treatments.
How to Use Facial Toner
Different facial toners offer different benefits. Some toners can help remove excess dirt and oil from your face, leaving it fresh and clean. Other toners soothe skin and help to restore skin's pH balance. Some facial toners will also condition your skin, leaving your face clean and moisturized at the same time. Once you have found the toner that will give you the results that you want, use these steps to incorporate facial toner into your skin care regimen.
Best Vitamins for Clear Skin
If you have struggled with acne and blemishes, then you may have tried a variety of things with hopes of getting clear skin. While creams and ointments have their benefits, sometimes you have to start from the inside to get the beauty results you desire. There are many vitamins and supplements that help to promote clear skin and many ways to implement them into your skin care routine. Vitamin A. Vitamin A is vital to healthy, clear skin. By regulating the immune system, vitamin A helps the body fight infections. It also encourages the production of white blood cells, which are needed to destroy bacteria that causes acne. Vitamin A also plays a part in cell division, cell reproduction and bone growth. Vitamin A can easily be integrated into your diet. Foods rich in vitamin A include carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes and eggs. Vitamin A is also available in pill and cream forms. B Vitamins. B vitamins promote hydration and reduce inflammation. B vitamins are commonly used to increase blood circulation and encourage tissue repair, so they not only help to clear the skin, but they can also heal visible signs of previous break-outs and reduce the redness and inflammation of current blemishes. Get your B vitamins by consuming more potatoes, bananas, beans and tuna or purchase a B-complex vitamin supplement. Vitamin C. Vitamin C is well known and vital for good health. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which means it protects skin cells. This healthful vitamin helps fight infections and heal wounds, and it is also responsible for keeping ligaments, blood vessels and tissue healthy. Vitamin C is effective in pill and cream forms. Skin creams with vitamin C can increase collagen production and decrease the effects of sun exposure. Vitamin C in skin care products often appears in ingredients as L-ascorbic acid. Get more vitamin C in your diet with fruits and vegetables of all kinds. Vitamin E. Vitamin E works well alongside other vitamins in skin care products and is often paired with vitamin C. Vitamin E is a great oil-free hydration solution for acne-prone skin because it allows you to repair acne damage without encouraging more break-outs. Vitamin E is found in eggs and milk and can also be purchased in pill form. Fish oil. Fish oil is a fantastic supplement that is full of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids help calm and prevent inflammation, which can reduce the size and redness of blemishes. Fish oil also helps to calm skin irritation which can occur when acne-fighting skin treatments are used. Fish oil supplements are available in pill form, and you can also get your omega-3 fatty acids by eating a diet rich in dark-green leafy vegetables, eggs, lean meats and whole grains. Flaxseeds are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids and can be purchased whole, ground and in oil form.

Humidifier Fact Sheet
If static cling and dry skin are a problem in your home, you may need a humidifier. Household humidifiers add water vapor to the air, reducing static electricity and increasing moisture in your skin. Wood doors, flooring, peeling wallpaper and molding are also rehydrated. In addition, moisture emitted from a humidifier can soothe dry, scratchy throats and irritated nasal passages.

Some skin products also offer additional benefits, such as anti-aging skin creams, acne-fighting face creams and salon-quality facial cleansers. Use our tips to select beauty products for your skin type and choose skin care solutions that will improve your complexion.

With the right hair vitamin routine that includes supplements that are essential to hair nutrition, you can enhance hair growth. You may also experience an improvement in the look and texture of your hair. Thick, shiny locks can be easily within your reach with the perfect hair vitamins for healthy tresses. B vitamins. Most B vitamins are important for hair growth, including B3, B5, B6 and B12. Niacin, also known as B3, is essential for a healthy scalp with good circulation. Some foods rich in vitamin B3 include fish, chicken and turkey. B5, also known as pantothenic acid, may prevent grey hair and is found in egg yolks and whole grains. B6 and B12 are also found in grains and eggs and can prevent hair loss. B-complex vitamins can give you a quick dose of these hair-healthy vitamins, and vitamin-rich sport beverages are also commonly filled with B vitamins. Vitamin A. Vitamin A is an antioxidant that is widely known to improve hair texture and sheen. Vitamin A assists in producing sebum in the scalp, which leads to healthy oils throughout the hair. A vitamins are available in supplement form, and many foods are also rich in A vitamins, including spinach, broccoli, cheese, cabbage, peaches and apricots. Vitamin A also helps improve skin quality and texture, so use vitamin A as an all-over beauty regimen. Vitamin E. Vitamin E is essential to the overall appearance of hair. Vitamin E works wonders for the scalp, leading to more hair growth and oil production, which helps hair appear silky and soft. Vitamin E supplements are widely available, and many foods are also rich in vitamin E, such as soybeans, nuts, beans and dark-green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale and collard greens.

Ring Size Buying Guide
Jewelry, just like clothing, looks best when it fits well. Jewelry size and shape changes the look of your fashion and enhances your beauty. Poor-fitting rings are annoying, if not actually painful. With the correct size, you'll hardly feel the jewelry. The first step in learning how to buy a ring is to find your ring size. An ill-fitting fashion ring is one of the most uncomfortable of jewelry problems. Tight rings pinch your fingers and chafe your skin; loose fashion rings also irritate the skin with constant friction and are lost easily. When you're choosing between rings for sale, having a ring sizer and a bit of jewelry knowledge will go a long way. Use our ring size chart and ring shopping tips to choose the perfect pieces of jewelry.

Great Product
By Ralphie70
from San Antonio, TX, United States
We recently purchased the Wall Mounted Hood and are delighted. The product looks and works perfectly. We are very happy with the purchase. We also purchased previously a 30" electric stove and 36" french refrigerator. We are delighted with all of our products. Thanks
Great range hood
By Em82
from Michigan
Best Uses
I was a little apprehensive about buying this hood because of the lower wattage of the lights, but I did anyway because of the power of the fan. I love it! The power of the fan is amazing. I even have friends feel the vent on the outside of the house to show how powerful it is... The lights are dimmer than I would like, but I have good lighting in my kitchen, so it was worth trying it. I do wish Whirlpool would improve the lighting. Install wasn't too bad (with my dad's help) and the fit and finish is great. Overall, a very good purchase and it's beautiful. I get so many compliments on the hood.

Quiet but I don't like the options.
By yarsix
from Undisclosed
There is only 1 light setting. BRIGHT! I thought hoods have a low/bright setting. Not this one. Choosing fan speeds is very different too. There are 3 buttons-Low, Medium, High but to get the fan on high you have to push the low fan speed, then medium, then high. Its strange that I just can't select the high setting. Every button should also be the on/off switch. Instead just the low button is the on/off button for the fan. So if i want it to go to high immediately I will just keep high selected at all times and then press the low/on/off button to turn the fan on. Just seems unnecessary and isn't discussed in the manual. The best part is the fan is super quiet though even at the highest setting.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The debate about the debates
Everyone is sagely offering reasons why this or that party can't or shouldn't participate, as if we have done these debates for centuries, always exactly so. We haven't. We only had the first ones in 2010 and the political landscape has changed significantly. So, since we are making it up as we go along, why not make it inclusive, diverse and interesting?
At the very least we must keep the criteria internally consistent. There is not a formula which could yield the result of Conservatives and Labour in three debates, LibDems in two and Ukip in one, with all others excluded. Not a single logical formula. I have read both the watchdog's recommendation and the BBC's leaked draft coverage proposal. They are, frankly, bunkum.
If we go by the last election result, Ukip shouldn't be included. If we go by number of MPs several other parties should be. The DUP has the fourth highest number of MPs currently. If we go by poll popularity, the LibDems should not be anywhere near two debates and the SNP certainly should be. If we go by the last European Elections, then the Greens should be in. The current composition smacks of dodgy, reverse-engineered sophistry, used to justify a result already predetermined by some grey man who evidently knows what we need to see.
On top of everything, this questionable methodology has ended up excluding all female, all non-English leaders. As a matter of fact, the debates will take place entirely among white, straight, rich, well-off, middle-aged, English blokes, from a tiny area in the South East.
Nor do I have any time for this "not a national party" nonsense. No parties stand in every constituency in the UK – none. We assume that a party which only stands in one nation has nothing to offer to the political debate. We spent the last year being told how valuable the UK's constituent nations are and how they make us the great nation that we are (whatever, but different blog). What if one of the major parties has to enter a coalition with Plaid and/or SNP after the election – would it not be useful for the electorate to get to know them?
There are no hard and fast rules. We are making this up and the conventions we establish are important. Let's be inclusive in our national debate. Let's not complain about stale politics, then do our very best to keep it stale.
What is tolerance? It seems to be something we all think we have amply in general, but rarely when it comes to specifics. We all like to think we are tolerant, but happily confess we can't stand X, Y and Z. "We pride ourselves in being a tolerant society", dither faceless leaders, while introducing legislation to victimise this group or that.
It is a quality I hear much about, in Britain especially. But I have to tell you, social awkwardness so crippling it ensures aggression is repressed is not tolerance. Bitching about each other quietly, in an interminable private internal monologue, isn't tolerance. It's just dysfunctional bigotry.
In any case, what sort of goal is "tolerance"? I don't want to live in a society where we merely tolerate each other. What a mean little abstract noun to aim for. Understanding, compassion, support , love, grace, generosity – apparently, they're just too lofty. The most we can hope to leave behind now is a sort of passive-aggression, masquerading as forbearance. My generation's legacy.
Can we hurry up with Humanity v.2.0 please?
Growing Art
Today, I was reminded of the work of Jason deCaires Taylor, which I find deeply touching. He makes sculptures – really quite beautiful, technically accomplished and thought-provoking – which he then plunges into the sea and plants with living coral. He allows the work to grow and photographs it. The results are quite haunting.
Jason deCaires Taylor (born 12 August 1974) is an English sculptor specialising in the creation of contemporary underwater sculptures which over time develop into artificial coral reefs. Taylor integrates his skills as a conservationist, underwater photographer and scuba diving instructor to produce unique installations that encourage the habitation and growth of corals and marine life. His early work includes Vicissitudes, Grace Reef, The Lost Correspondent and The Unstill Life. All are located in the world´s first public underwater sculpture park in Molinere Bay, Grenada, West Indies, commissioned in 2006. More recently his most ambitious project to date is the creation of the world's largest underwater sculpture museum, MUSA, situated off the coast of Cancun and the western coast of Isla Mujeres. Works in the museum include Hombre en llamas (Man on Fire ), La Jardinera de la Esperanza (The Gardener of Hope), El Colecionista de los Sueños (The Dream Collector) and La Evolución Silenciosa (The Silent Evolution).
His website can be found here.
The Most Radical Thing You Can Be Is Moderate
Many commentators have chosen this moment to be very brave and intellectually honest about Islam. But if we are going to be brave and intellectually honest, especially in the aftermath of events this incendiary, then let's be brave and honest about the whole thing, including our relationships with each other.
The reason criticism of Islam as a religion is often branded as racist is that it often is. Not always, but often.
Of course, if you don't experience this prejudice in your everyday life, it is easy to be blind to it; to deny that people use the mantle of legitimate criticism of a religion to justify their own secret, ugly prejudice that is bundled up within the concept. But I suspect, privately, unfashionably, we might all acknowledge the possibility that there are many more people than we would ever admit, who make assumptions about, distrust or even hate brownish looking, foreign sorts.
And so, in the same way that we demand of Imams that they take particular care, that they all come out and condemn the attacks – because there is a provably significant percentage of idiots who need such unequivocal guidance, we must demand the same of intellectuals with a platform. We cannot recognise the power of others' words, but not ours. Confirmation bias is a wondrous thing in the context of a digital age.
I know I'll be jumped on for saying this, because it seems that to ask for calm moderation is tantamount to terrorist apologism right now, but we have a choice to either amplify the terror being spread or douse it with an ice cold bucket of calm logic. I think some comments, both by politicians and in the press, have not quite stayed the right side of that equation. They weave rather tenuous evidence into an "all people who are Muslim are an imminent threat to you" narrative.
If a panic is created about Muslims in general it is, in my view, entirely foreseeable that people who look Muslim, regardless of their actual status, ethnicity or views, will bear the brunt. People can shrug their shoulders and go "that's not what I intended" all they want, but that is what will happen. We know this. In this context – and knowing this to be the case – one can choose whether to fan the flames or not.
I'm not talking about not telling the truth (whatever your truth is). I'm talking about not sensationalising that truth. Measure every single word with care. And I'm not asking this because of some vague wooly pinko fear that people's feelings might be hurt. I am talking about real harm. People do terrible things when they're scared.
So, next time someone rolls down their car window and shouts at me "take your sharia law and fuck off home" (even though I am a Greek atheist, but when have facts made a difference to the terrified?) I shan't be thankful for the sort of public comment that you think makes you terribly brave and edgy. When people who fled these regimes are spat at in the street, they won't praise you for your scattergun intellectual honesty.
Hysteria is the black teat from which forces of darkness suckle nourishment. Panic is the terrorists' aim. The sort of hysteria and panic that makes the police put seven bullets in a Brazilian's head on a crowded train, just because his features were swarthy. Hysteria and panic is what we must absolutely avoid.
Was There A Death Fatwa Against Charb?
It seems to me highly relevant, in light of recent events, that a prominent Afghani cleric by the name Faroq Husaini had issued a death sentence against Stéphane Charbonnier, the cartoonist and Charlie Hebdo editor known as 'Charb' and offered a reward of $100,000 in October 2012.
According to the AFP report at the time, he made the pronouncement in a mosque in Afghanistan's third largest city, Herat. "I will sell all my properties, including my lands in Herat, to collect the money," Husaini said.
Maybe there is a reason mainstream media do not seem to have picked this up at all. Maybe I have misread the original material. Please leave a comment if you have more information on this.
The Ukip Fallacy
I just watched a video of some lovely Ukip supporters being, well… Ukip supporters.
I was particularly struck by the nice lady who suggested that a French person who has been living and working in the UK for years, should just be forcibly repatriated because "well, yeah, we all go home to our own places". This (apparently, totally acceptable and not xenophobic at all) standpoint is justified with simple pragmatism: "This country cannot support any more people".
It is a common view. It is also utterly misconceived.
A country is its people. There is no vague, mythical construct that "supports people". People support each other. And in a service economy, numbers matter greatly*.
So, if you advocate deporting a couple of million people, it is true enough that you will have fewer people to support. But – and this is the bit of the equation on which Ukip and their supporters are always strangely silent – you will also have fewer people who do the supporting.
The result of such a move boils down to whether the people you wish to deport are overall an asset. Study after study (for instance UCL here, report here, IIEA here, OBR summary here) shows that EU migrants are net contributors. Not only in the UK, but more generally (OECD here). Migrants cost disproportionately less in terms of health, education or social security.
The fatal flaw in the typical Ukip supporter's logic is in seeing public services as somehow fixed; they are not. They can increase as well as contract and they depend on tax take. The idea that getting rid of contributing migrants will magically free up spaces in schools and beds in hospitals is a nonsense in the medium and long term. As the population and tax take reduce, hospital beds and school spaces will diminish by the equivalent. If the population leaving are net contributors, these services will shrink disproportionately. Getting rid of migrants will make school places scarcer, reduce social housing capacity, make hospital waiting lists longer. It is as simple as that.
Moreover, it could precipitate a grudge match in which Brits living elsewhere in the EU are also 'repatriated' – the rise of the xenophobic right wing is sadly not limited to England. The view of migrants into the UK as useless 'scroungers', but Brits living abroad as valuable 'expats' is nothing other than a romantic post-colonial affectation. It is as real as a turn-of-the-century E.M. Forster novella. The profile of the typical Brit living abroad (Spain, for instance) is very different to the sort of migrant coming to the UK. The data paint a less economically active (and older) person. A sudden and widespread population swap of net contributors for pensioners (300,000 UK pensioners live in Spain alone) would be unmitigated catastrophe for public finances.
Now, it could be that the majority of Ukip support would still, out of cultural dysphoria, opt for a party whose policy boiled down to: we want to be more anglosaxon, even if it means being much poorer. Because, make no mistake, that is what is being proposed.
The Office for Budget Responsibility is under no illusion when it comes to migration. All things being equal, Cameron achieving his goal to bring migrant numbers down to the tens of thousands is a terrible scenario assumption for the national debt. Bringing the number down to zero is disaster, not utopia. The chart below is fairly self-explanatory.
Ukip not only dislike migrants, but they also dislike systems that financially facilitate maternity. With the current absolute reliance on growth and the population bulge of baby-boom pensioners living longer, the UK needs young people desperately to work and contribute. They can either be birthed the old-fashioned way or they can be invited over. Pick one. 'Neither' is not an answer. We can't all be pensioners.
Economic activity flows from people, not from nostalgia and St George's flags. There is no land of milk and honey waiting on the other side of xenophobia. There is only a dystopia of suspicion, hate, isolationism and abject poverty.
* There may be arguments for returning to a pre-industrial, agrarian society, where the land supports people, or a "steady state" economic model which eschews economic growth, but I very much doubt that is what Ukip has in mind.

B-school students pursue a positive impact
- Mark Adams
- Intel Corp.
More so than ever, MBA students and alumni are seeking to have a successful business career while making a positive impact. While these professionals are as ambitious as ever, they know that success goes beyond financial measures. It means improving your company culture, using business to make social change, and improving your local community.
Upon entering business school several years ago, I found a group of like-minded students interested in sustainability and corporate social responsibility. At the time, Students for Responsible Business was a startup nonprofit based in San Francisco. Since then, the group — rebranded Net Impact — is now a national network of business professionals dedicated to encouraging the next generation of socially responsible business leaders. Net Impact now has 20,000+ members, in 280 chapters, who are changing the world.
Gathering the troops
During business school, several of us discovered one of Net Impact's earlier national conferences being held at the University of California Berkeley business school. About 10 MBA students from our program at Indiana University gathered to attend the conference which was attended by about 250 Net Impact members from top MBA programs around the country.
We found an inspirational, grassroots atmosphere and learned about topics including corporate responsibility reporting, green teams at work, corporate philanthropy, and ways to make your company more sustainable. After the conference, I led a small team to form our own Net Impact chapter which quickly grew as this relatively new concept of "responsible business" gained traction.

Second Arrest Made In Connection With LAX Dry Ice Explosions
Originally published on Sat October 19, 2013 9:30 am
The dry ice explosions at Los Angeles International Airport have led to a second arrest, police say.
Reporter Doualy Xaykaothao tells our Newscast unit that 41-year-old Miguel Angel Iniguez was arrested Friday at the airport. Dicarlo Bennett was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the same incident. The Los Angeles Times adds:
"Iniguez works for Servisair [a ground handling company] and was the supervisor of Dicarlo Bennett, 28, who was arrested earlier this week and charged in connection with two dry ice bombs that exploded in an employees bathroom in Terminal 2 and in a tarmac area at the Tom Bradley International Terminal.
"Bennett has pleaded not guilty. His attorney, Ben Wasserman, said Bennett had removed the dry ice from a cargo bay to protect a dog that was being transported in the area from potentially lethal fumes. ...
"Police said that there was no link to terrorism and that Bennett's intentions were his own amusement as a prank."
Kaykaothao reports that Iniguez is charged with possession of a destructive device near an aircraft and that his bail has been set at $500,000.
No injuries were reported following the explosions on Sunday and Monday.
