Personal Injury
Personal injury is the term used to describe physical and mental injuries that occur because of someone else's negligence, intentional actions, or strict liability.
- Negligence means the other party failed to act with reasonable care. For example, imagine you are in your car stopped at a red light when another driver rear ends you because he or she isn't paying attention. If you suffer physical injuries in the crash, those could be personal injury due to negligence. (Any damage to your car is property damage, not personal injury, because the car is an object, not a person.)
- Intentional harm means the other person set out to hurt you. This includes cases of battery, assault, and false imprisonment.
- Strict liability means that anyone involved in the production, distribution, or sale of a defective product can be held responsible if the product injures someone.
Types of Personal Injuries
There are several common types of personal injuries:
- Auto accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Boating accidents
- Trucking accidents
- Railroad accidents
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Medical and dental accidents
- Sexual abuse
- Dog bites
- Injuries that occur because products malfunction or fail
- Work-related accidents
- Wrongful death
Most personal injuries fall into the category of law known as torts. Torts are a type of civil, not criminal, law. It is a way to hold someone else legally responsible for your injuries.
Most personal injury cases involve negligence. To have a valid case, your personal injury attorney must be able to show that your injury was caused by the negligence of another party. To prove negligence, your injury lawyer must prove four separate things:
- Duty of care: The negligent party had an obligation to act prudently to avoid injuring the other party
- Breach of duty: The negligent party knowingly exposed the injured party to a substantial risk of injury or didn't even realize (but should have) that there was a substantial risk
- Direct cause: The negligent party's deliberate acts, or lack of action, caused the injury
- Harm: The injured party suffered a financial loss because of the negligent party's negligence (a medical bill, for example, would be a monetary loss)
Additionally, damages are designed to compensate someone for their injury.
Personal Injury Laws Vary from State to State
Tort laws vary from state to state. If you have suffered a personal injury, talk to a personal injury attorney who has experience in your jurisdiction. Additionally, you can find state specific personal injury information below.

Before deciding where these beans would be best suited, I had to see what they tasted like, right? So I stuck them in a pot, boiled them until soft, and gingerly popped one in my mouth. Mmmm….the taste was familiar, pulling at my memory gently but insistently. I knew then what these beans were destined for…fuul (Ful Mudamas).
I first tried this Egyptian fava bean dip/spread on my trip to Egypt. Hailed as the national breakfast of Egypt, it was an immediate favorite and I had it several times while I was there. The recipe I used was from Megwoo of the fantastic (and close to my bacon-loving heart) blog I heart Bacon. She left a comment on my post about my first meal in Egypt (which included fuul) and a link to a recipe for fuul. I liked the sound of it because, among all the recipes that I found, it had the most spices in it. Yes, trust a non-professional cook like me to ignore quantities and chemistry, and base decisions on reasons like, "It has the most stuff in it!"
Turns out, despite my greedy, spice-grubbing mind, I didn't have all the spices to complete the recipe (for shame Joey!). What I did have though was baharat that I had bought on my trip to Egypt. A baharat is an Arabic spice blend (the word baharat actually means "spices" in Arabic) in the same manner as masala in India. There are many different types of baharat depending on its country of origin. You can find these used in Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Jordan, and countries in the northern part of Africa. There is also a Saudi baharat, a Kuwaiti baharat, and a Yemeni baharat. You can also find Turkish and even Tunisian baharat. Traditionally, baharat, even if from the same place, would differ from purveyor to purveyor, or household to household. This aromatic blend usually includes spices like black pepper, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, and coriander. Between countries you can have additions of saffron, loumi (ground lime), nutmeg, cardamom, dried rose petals, allspice, ginger, caraway seeds, and turmeric. Doesn't it all sound so amazing? Like some sort of delicious potion for enchantment?
As both fuul and my baharat are from Egypt, I felt fully justified in substituting all the spices in the recipe for a tablespoon-full of the baharat. Everything else remained the same except I didn't add the potato (you can find the full recipe here). One bite of this was a whiff of my Egyptian adventure…the smells of the spice markets, careening wildly through traffic, my first sight of the pyramids, cruising lazily down the Nile. It was bursting with both flavor and memories. It came out a bit too dry though and I am thinking of adding a little more tomato and oil next time, or maybe some tahini (sesame paste), which I have seen included in other recipes.
I have another bag of fava beans waiting to be used so this will soon be getting a second run…perhaps I can plan a little reunion for my fearless Egypt-partners…

right-of-way on I-5 CRC
I've been commuting across the I-5 Columbia River Crossing, and wondering if we can all agree on the right of way.
Some people say that on the southbound side (the side I and most people ride on, both directions) that perhaps the southbound bikes should have the right. Yes, they are going "with traffic" but we are all separated from the I-5 traffic anyways. I liken two bikes meeting to two climbers or hikers, where the rule is generally to yield to the person who is going uphill, has their momentum and so forth, so they don't have to break their stride. (If you haven't done this route, yes the bridge is a bit of a hill, peaking in the middle!) What say you? |
Well, the Hawthorne and Broadway bridges already have this sort of couplet. The paths on the Interstate Bridge are far narrower; four to five feet wide SB and 44" wide with a minimum of about 40" NB. If anything, it would make more sense to enforce what is essentially a couplet on this bridge as well. I already go with traffic, and would have to agree with you that most people tend to take the SB path. That's half of the reason that I take the NB pathnobody else seems to.
Besides the obviously needed improvements to the pedestrian and bike facilities and connections on the bridge, I think that enforcing a one-way couplet for cyclists would help make this bridge more crossable. And if it matters at all to this discussion, I live in East Vancouver, usually taking the Glenn Jackson bridge via bike or bus Southbound and the Interstate Bridge by bike Northbound.
Gas Tax Holiday? I must be on gas tax retirement. |
Good topic.
I have to 100% put my weight behind the directional option. Cyclists going against the flow of traffic should always yield to those who choose to go the wrong way. I understand your point with the hill, but that just gets confusing. Much of the bridge is not an incline, so what do you do then? And many people do not understand the hill rule. In mountain biking, downhill typically yields to uphill, but with other vehicles, the rule seems to vary, based on the country you are in, if one vehicle is pulling a trailer or has better pull-out access, etc. And I never understood the momentum theory. It is easier to pull over and stop when going uphill, at ten MPH, compared to downhill at 20 MPH. The difference in speed more than makes up for the difference in incline. Anyway, I understand both sides of the argument, but believe the directional rule is the simplest and most logical. And, easier to explain with a brief sign at the beginning of each span... |
I-5 direction of travel
I believe that the City of Vancouver and maybe PDOT are worknig on signing the bridge paths as directional in the near future. They are currently producing a map, which I have commented on, to educate the public on the routes between Vancouver and Portland through Delta Park & Jantzen Beach, as well as signs to indicate direction for bikes, and route signage. Peds will not be restricted to one side or the other. Vancouver plans to post a permanent map on the north side. Don't know if Portland will post a map or not. This probably is all dependent upon funding, as usual.

I-5 bridge direction
Yeah, sounds like there is some feeling out there for sticking with NB and SB rights of way. However, it seems like 80% of people use the SB exclusively, since the connectivity from the NB is funky.
I was indoctrinated by another to use SB exclusively, but will get out my cycling map and try NB when heading north. Signs will probably not steer people to the other side, but may make wrong-way riders (like me) feel sheepish enough that we will yield to the law-abiding riders. Thanks! |
Definitely try using the NB side. Even though it is about 20% narrower, it does not feel any more scary to me. You get used to it quick. When the path is definitely clear, and the wind is right, I hit almost 30 mph on the downhill. Well, that is probably stupid, and asking for a girder in my face, but a solid 15 mph should be perfectly safe.
On a side note, while riding NB on the bridge today, I encountered the first person headed SB on the NB side that I've seen so far. Usually it is the other way around.

OK, I watched that video. It was interesting in many ways. Back in the day of my young, old age, I used much of that software, then quickly learned to use aftermarket versions of it. The malware to download on those places was crazy.
Though I know Cnet/ZDnet is huge business, and I rarely look to them for good advice anymore, why did they publish that article I posted above?
Hell…most of us know big money just about runs this country now, but too many pieces just don't fit with that puzzle.
To say that all those named in that video are all in on it together with government in a conspiracy is like saying it is almost hopeless now.
I followed the early legal battles between file sharing and their enemies.
The format of that video seems to be…marketing their videos too…
I did learn a few things from it though.
Hey…why are you sticking your tongue out at me :Þ
Decided to Google and see just how many of the people on the SOPA supporters list actually DO support this thing.
Hardly the united front that Lamar Smith was talking about is it?
SOPA Cabana: A Warning from a Dystopian Future → http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w6GtwOvnWM
lol The 2nd comment from the link says it all: "Rats leaving a sinking ship."
Well, that and some ordinary people wondering how the hell they wound up on a ship in the first place. :P A lot of these guys are pissed at the Chamber of Commerce because they never did support SOPA in the first place and don't know why on earth they wound up on that list.
I could post all the links to the privacy/security community too,
But I'll just say The Internet Fights Back :)
This is a list of SOPA supporters and their E-mail addresses:
If you strongly oppose SOPA, you could E-mail any of these and tell them why you think SOPA should be destroyed.
Go Daddy lost 21,054 domains in 1 day because of SOPA: http://thenextweb.com/insider/2011/12/24/go-daddy-lost-21054-domains-yesterday-in-wake-of-sopa-pr-disaster/?awesm=tnw.to_1CMq1&utm_campaign=social+media&utm_medium=Spreadus&utm_source=Twitter&utm_content=Go+Daddy+lost+21%2C054+domains+yesterday+in+wake+of+SOPA+PR+disaster
There goes another one~ Just like the other ones~ :D
Also, something that just occurred to me. The supreme court will probably just strike these down as unconstitutional anyways unless they're amended A LOT.
The Justices are all in a job until retirement or death and all live in mansions. Trying to bribe them is like spitting in the ocean so the MPAA will have to rely on justification… which they don't have.
Without the mountain of dollar signs infront of their eyes they'll be able to tell just how full of shit SOPA and PIPA are.
The Copy[rite] Act was unconstitutional when writen by a school book publisher, Noel Webster, and a judge, Benjamin Huntington in 1789 and was unconstitutional when signed by George Washinton.
This has been obvious for centuries but is still propogated as the United States' legal HOAX. Regardless; I am one of the 15 supporters. I believe SOPA is a good idea after copy[rite] is recognized as an INDIVIDUAL personal right and limited to author's life plus fifty years.
A movie won't have just one copy[rite] but is group's artistic production and movies need protection by a law very much like SOPA but NOT like USC Title 17.
Internet wire communications should already be regulated by the FCC.
Have a merry christmas and remember the Supreme Court addresses cases brought to it but otherwise is silent.
A corporation can't have an individual right!
"A corporation can't have an individual right!"
Then how can they buy elections, and put so much money behind this bill???
Merry Christmas
In the UN-democratic United States corporations are treated as people but have not been given the rights of individuals as far as I have learned. An individual right may only be asserted by an individual. An individual has rights that can't be purchased or sold. These rights are impossible to transfer and cease upon death of the individual. The Berne Convention protocol allows an individual's right to be maintained for fifty years by heirs or others for preservation of the reputation of the recently deceased.
The BACKWARDS United States' copy[rite] or the created corporate ritual for controlling copying will now develop into both a corporate copy[rite] ritual and exclusively an individual HUMAN RIGHT.
Wikipedia Gives Middle-Finger to SOPA: http://image.bayimg.com/dalaeaadj.jpg
Graphics Artists Guild becomes a conspirator of GOOG in another fraud like the one disguised as a class-action where Graphics Artists Guild "sued" Google Inc and hope to conspire with Google Books to create an alternative to the unconstitutional US copy[rite]. They all say it is settled although it is NOT. I opposed the unfair and dishonest conspiracy in NY as did the DOJ and thousands of others.
IT IS NOT OVER IN NEW YORK!Not paying attention to BACKWARDS US copy[rite] law whatsoever are you GamerLen? That is OK. Apparently nobody here or in the copy[rite] BACKWARDS USA is either. That will change very soon.
VERY SOON! Jut ran across this… Hmmmm…
Copyright troll Righthaven's domain name now up for auction
Interesting indeed.
I have not read up on it yet…
The Trauma Intervention Program (TIP) of Southern Nevada is a nonprofit that sends trained volunteers to the site of severe accidents, suicides, fires, and violent theft. The volunteers comfort family members, witnesses, and bystanders—traumatized people who can't be helped by anything found in an ambulance.
TIP might seem an unlikely target for a federal copyright lawsuit, but it found itself hauled into court last week for posting 14 local newspaper articles about TIP and its volunteers to the group's website.
The lawsuit was filed by a company named Righthaven, an entrepreneurial venture formed by a Vegas attorney and the publisher of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. It was filed without warning or notice, and it seeks more than just statutory damages and attorneys' fees; it asks the court to "direct GoDaddy and any successor domain name registrar for the Domain to lock the Domain and transfer control of the Domain to Righthaven."
It seems there is a lot more going on here than meets the eye.
Maybe look into it?
I did the flag.
SOPA in itself is NOT a violation of any amendments or an invasion of privacy — get that through your heads! Copyright infringement is terrible and should be removed. The premise of this bill is perfect, however I disagree with the means.
SOPA is great in it's premise, however it gives OTHER PEOPLE the power to limit our civil rights. I firmly believe this will culminate into destruction — as if they have the power they will certainly abuse it.
SOPA is not an infringement against anything, and these internet kids need to stop bringing up the First Amendment.
I oppose it SOPA, and hope you do too, but don't argue with these terrible arguments.
Logically it should pass as the only issue is our ideology and lack of trust in the government, which I believe is correct, but the government will pass it, as they want power and will assure you they will not abuse their power.There is nothing intrinsically wrong with SOPA.
Again I am against it, as I distrust the government.

Retro MTB TribeRe: Retro MTB TribeSome pics of my projects and completes
Mongoose Amplifier 2, Klein Frame and fork currently for sale, Trek 950 Fast Track, Waltworks 29er MonsterX But at the moment this is the new one... Serotta ATX Ti race Sid and XT... soon to get full Syncros bits
Re: Retro MTB Tribethis looks like a fun little project in Melbourne
Re: Retro MTB TribeWow i didn't know Serotta did mountain bikes. I picked up a Trek very similar to that a while ago but the seatpost was NOT going to budge, gave up after 2 weeks of struggle.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Retro MTB Tribe
Mmmmmm...... Waltworks. Loved his work. Did you get it custom built or was it picked up second hand?
Re: Retro MTB TribeCruising the recycling shop at the local dump I came across this good candidate for a beater for mucking about with the kids - a GT 'Outpost Trail'.
It's a bit small, but there's stacks of seatpost and a super long stem. It had no wheels but is otherwise complete. The wheels are some so-so ones I've had hanging around for just such a project and I have the best part of a 9-speed SLX drive train and few other bits that need a home. At least some of the frame is Cro-mo

Re: Retro MTB TribeNICE!
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Retro MTB Tribe
Nice, I bought the red Y22 on the 28th Sept 1995.
Re: Retro MTB TribeHas anyone got a decent, functioning mid 90s fork they'd like to sell? Excluding Mach 5s.
I bought a Judy SL recently but 'apparently' it seems to have 'disappeared' between the seller and myself...Ideally would like a 3 piece lower Judy SL, XC or DH, also interested in Manitou EFCs and first generation Z1/Z2 Marzocchis. With or without canti cable stop. Basically I have almost everything bar DU bushings and a fork to put my '96 LTS-2 together and I'm getting rather frustrated as I've been waiting on a fork since November. PM me if you can help out.
Re: Retro MTB TribeAnyway, missing Judy notwithstanding, mocked up my LTS-2 project after giving the frame a clean and polish. Unfortunately the Mach 5 SX on it is knackered, has a broken pushrod, add in my hatred of the things after battling one for a season when they were new...unless I get a cheap or free Mach 5 to raid for parts I still need a fork.
Will be XT/XTR M900 mix with Maguras, ??? fork and Syncros/answer cockpit, middleburn rings, hopefully a CK headset and some period rubber (undecided what as I have NOS Panaracer Duster VF/VR pair -on bike in pic, pair of cream 2.10/1.95 Panaracer Magics, pair of Panaracer Smoke/Dart Classic reissues, some Continental Montannas...). I think I will go yellow Oury grips. I am building silver Mavic XM317s on XT 737 front/mid 90s Hadley-GT rear to go on it later.
Re: Retro MTB TribeNow THAT is a workshop, Floody. Very nice.
Re: Retro MTB TribeSHINEEEEEE
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Retro MTB TribeI wish it was my workshop, it belongs to a shop I worked for for a while years ago and do some saturdays and the odd fill-in weekday for now when I'm not teaching; in return they let me use their workshop and storage, order in parts etc. Its a real help for this hobby! 2 fully equipped workshop bays, most park specialist tools and ceiling hangers for about 40 bikes... and thats just the downstairs.
Re: Retro MTB TribeDamn, some real beauties posted here.
I got nothing as nice as any of those, but I recently picked up an 84 Raleigh Trek, even came with the owners manual. It's certainly nothing special and not competition worthy but it appears to be all original and rides great. Not even sure what I'm gonna do with it, for now it's just a good around town and gravel road bike. Has anyone seen one of these before?
Re: Retro MTB TribeVery similar to the 1985 Malvern Star i just sold, the Dawes Ranger listed in their 1984 catalogue, and they all just look like the original Specialized Stumpjumper to me. They look cool with the bullmoose bars and super laid back angles but the Malvern Star felt WEIRD to ride.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Retro MTB TribeCool old bikes! Personally I can't come to grips with that old stuff...for me mountain bikes really consolidated into a recognisable form through the early-mid 90s, and I agree most of those old bikes feel super weird with the slack angles, and being so long and low.
Did a rideable mockup today on my LTS, took it for a ride round the block. Forks will probably change out for Judy SL (although this ebay find set of SX Ti Manitous work very well), and I have Maguras plus an XTR M900 front derailleur coming to finish it (V brakes are temporary, they don't fit well on the rear). Sadly the rear shock is absolutely buggered.
Re: Retro MTB TribeLooking reeeal good. Personally I think some Z2's would really suit your bike.
Re: Retro MTB Tribe
You sort of have to take into context where the modern sport of MTBing was at in its evolution in the early 80s. There's a great movie around called "Klunkerz" if you can find it. Basically the modern sport evolved out of some 1970s Hippies in California bombing down hilly dirt roads - not technical single track. They were doing it on on beefed up old, cheap 1930s & 1940s kids cruiser bikes. These bikes had slack angles with long wheelbases and most importantly clearances for fat, wide tyres. The early rigid frame MTBs like the Malvern & Raliegh pictured just now were just an extension of this. I can see why technical riders don't care for them, but I still think they're great as cruisers and urban runabouts. Here's my kerbside find that got my interest in the history.... I swear I could ride it no-handed whilst performing the upper half of the Maori Haka and it wouldn't waiver. The geometry and weight of it makes it track like a super-tanker. - Kym
After all is said and done; a lot more is usually said than done.
Re: Retro MTB Tribe
You know, I think a red Z2 would be bang on for this. Time to hunt one down!
Re: Retro MTB TribeGo for the BAM's if you can find a set. They are a little lighter, the arches are more thoroughly machined and they perform a bit better.
Good plan re Maguras btw
Re: Retro MTB TribeYeah I think they'd be a bit toooo much. That said I should pull my finger out and buy them...I would have already if they were 20mm axle.
I do have a GT frame that needs a bigger fork...But I'm looking for a DHO or first generation Boxxer for it.
Re: Retro MTB TribeOooooh, STS DH. Niiiiiiiice. Definitely one for the Boxxer.

Re: Retro MTB Tribemmmmm. A nice set of late 90's White Brothers forks spring to Mind.
Re: Retro MTB TribeScored this GT in bits a few weeks back - didn't take much to get it back on the trails Nothing like a good clean and service
Mostly Deore DX gear with some suitably retro tyres from the back of the shed. The lock on grips are the only new parts on it. Looking forward to the first proper ride later today! No, honey, I've had that one for ages...

I recently acquired this hull/deck from a fellow forum member, it measures 42" overall and is 4" diameter, and it's all hand made from alloy tube and sheet.
Having looked carefully at it and spent ages on Google search, the nearest prototype I could come up with to base a model on was the USS Alligator...what do think, guys? Anything else spring to mind?

Diamonds - The 4 Cs
< Jewelry Education
Learn what to look for. Decide your priorities.
Then make the choice that's right for you.
When selecting a diamond, one of the "Diamond 4 Cs" refers to Carat Weight. Diamonds are sold by the carat (ct), which is a unit of weight, not size.
The word "carat" is derived from the Arab word for carob, as carob seeds were used in early trading days to determine the weight of diamonds. While this method may seem unscientific, the carob seeds were so uniform in size and weight that they produced highly reliable measurements. Today, we use very sensitive, accurate scales to measure the weight of a diamond.
One carat weighs 200 milligrams, or one-fifth (.2) of a gram. This standard has been in use worldwide since 1914, when it was proposed by the International Committee on Weights and Measures. Note that the term "carat" – which is a measurement for precious gems – is different from the term "karat," which refers to gold quality in the United States.
A few pointers
When discussing gemstones of less than one carat, jewelers often refer to the weight in terms of points. A carat is divided into 100 points, with one point corresponding to .01 carat. Think in terms of pennies to a dollar. There are one hundred pennies in a dollar, and there are one hundred points in a carat. So a 1/2 carat gemstone equates to 50 points, a 1/4 carat diamond 25 points. Very small gemstones, such as those used in pavé or channel settings, are sometimes called melee. Melees range from .01 to .16 carat in weight.
When isn't a carat 100 points?
Although the analogy of pennies to the dollar suggests that one carat is always 100 points, or that one-half carat is always 50 points, that's not entirely true. Diamonds can't all be uniformly cut to such exact weights, so the carat weight given is an approximation of the actual weight of the gemstone.
The impact of weight on price
Since diamonds become rarer as they increase in weight, the larger the diamond, the more valuable (and costly) it is. But the price of a diamond does not increase at the same rate as its weight. The larger the gemstone (all else being equal), the more disproportionate the increase in cost per carat. For example, a 2-carat diamond is always more expensive than two 1-carat diamonds of the same quality.
When evaluating diamonds, weight and size are not the same thing. Yet, carat weight has come to represent particular sizes when based on a well-cut diamond. Although your computer's monitor may affect the accuracy, the following chart will give you a good idea of approximate diamond size by carat weight and diameter in millimeters for one of Shane's well-proportioned brilliant-cut gemstones.
What should you look for?
Since ancient times, diamond cutters have sought to produce a diamond of maximum possible weight and quality from the rough crystal. Similarly, while your first inclination may be "bigger is better," that's not necessarily true for everyone, as quality and budget need to be considered.

The "C" of clarity refers to a gemstone's purity. Clarity is evaluated by viewing the gemstone under 10X magnification. Virtually all diamonds contain tiny natural birthmarks that are present to varying degrees. After all, nature is rarely perfect, and that extends to diamonds! These marks serve as the identifying "fingerprint" that makes every gemstone unique.
What is that speck?
These tiny identifying marks consist of "naturals" on the outside or inclusions on the inside of the gemstone. Inclusions refer to anything that is trapped within the diamond crystal. Nearly all diamonds, even those of the highest quality, have some inclusions, which fall into these categories:
Mineral inclusions
A dark spot from a trapped bit of mineral
Open cavities interrupting the diamond surface that were a part of the original diamond crystal
Internal cracks or fractures caused by either internal or external stress during the diamond's formation.
How clarity is graded
While there are several grading systems used in the industry, the most recognized and commonly used system is the one developed by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
Flawless. Shows no inclusions or blemishes of any sort under 10X magnification when examined by an experienced grader. Extremely rare.
Internally Flawless. Has no inclusions when examined by an experienced grader using 10X magnification. Very rare.
Very, Very Slightly Included. Contains minute inclusions that are difficult even for experienced graders to see under 10X magnification.
Very Slightly Included. Contains minor inclusions ranging from difficult to somewhat easy to see for an experienced grader when examined under 10X magnification.
Slightly Included. Contains inclusions that are easy to very easy to see for an experienced grader under 10X magnification. Some inclusions may be visible to the unaided eye.
Included. Contains obvious inclusions visible to an experienced grader under 10X magnification; can be visible without magnification.
Included. Contains obvious inclusions. Visible without magnification.
The effect of positioning
As a rule, the less visible the location of the inclusion, the less impact on the gemstone's value.

Of the 4 Cs criteria, the quality of color refers to a diamond's body color, not the rainbow surface of reflected light.
Why less color is more valuable
When buying a diamond, it is the absence of color that makes one diamond more precious than another. The whiter or more colorless the gemstone, the more rare, and the higher the price. The exception is "fancy" colored diamonds, which can occur in shades of blue, pink, red, yellow, green and brown. Some of these are exceptionally rare and considered collector's items.
Most diamonds that are mined have a great deal of body color while very few are completely absent of color. For a mental picture of "colorless" or the "absence of color," just think of pure water.
Making the grade
Color is graded by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) with letters ranging from D (completely colorless) to Z (light yellow).
GIA Color Rankings
Near Colorless
Faint Yellow
Very Light Yellow
Light Yellow
More than meets the eye
Color is actually one of the most difficult factors to evaluate. For one thing, everyone sees color differently. Differences in color between gemstones are very, very subtle, and may be imperceptible to an untrained eye. In fact, even the experts will compare an ungraded gemstone to one previously graded to properly assess its color. Small differences in color can make large differences in the price.
Color and the Setting
A diamond may exhibit the color of its setting, which is why most ring settings will have a white gold or platinum head. White gold and platinum have the least effect on the diamond's color. Conversely, a diamond with more body color is often best enhanced by a yellow gold setting. Of course, the setting you choose is a matter of personal preference.
Facts about fluorescence
Some diamonds naturally exhibit a bluish tint when viewed in daylight or under fluorescent lighting. Under candlelight or normal incandescent lights, the blue disappears. This blue tint is the result of the gemstone's degree of fluorescence. It is not considered either good or bad, but simply an inherent characteristic of the gemstone.
back to top ^
The cut is extraordinarily important because it has the greatest single influence on the diamond's brilliance, or sparkle. And when it comes to diamonds, sparkle is what makes diamonds "a girl's best friend."
Occasionally you may find other jewelers' gemstones are priced lower than Shane Co. diamonds of identical carat weight, color and clarity. That's because the diamonds at the other jewelers are cut too shallow or too deep – causing the light that enters them from above to leak out of the bottom and sides of the gemstone. As a result, these gemstones are visibly dull and dark and consequently, highly undesirable. Remember: it takes all 4 Cs to complete the picture and determine a diamond's value.
So pay special attention to cut when evaluating diamonds and believe your eyes.
Shane Co. handpicks only diamonds with the most sparkle.
Judging a diamond's sparkle by its lab grade alone is like judging a movie solely by its rating. A laboratory grade is only part of the story, because diamonds with the same grade can have very different amounts of sparkle, depending on how each diamond is cut and where the inclusions are located inside the diamond. When Shane Co. buys diamonds, our own buyers go directly to the diamond cutters around the world and examine groups of diamonds already sorted by grade. Then they handpick only the diamonds with the most sparkle from within each grade. Whatever diamond grade you choose, you will clearly see the difference in the way Shane Co. diamonds sparkle.
Cut specifically addresses the number, placement, angling and shape of the facets to create a polished diamond. The facets function as prisms, capturing and reflecting light inside the diamond. The quality of a gemstone's cut is primarily determined by the height of the crown relative to the depth of the pavilion and the width of the table.
The part of the diamond above the girdle
The large facet that caps the crown of a gemstone
The outer edge of the diamond, usually the portion that is grasped by the setting. It is the dividing line between the crown and the pavilion.
The part of the diamond below the girdle.
The small facet parallel to the girdle, at the bottom of the gemstone.
An exacting talent
Of the four qualities that define a diamond's value, the cut is the only one determined by a human being. A skilled diamond cutter realizes the rough diamond's potential. He cuts and facets the crystal to reflect the maximum amount of light inside the gemstone and back through the top of the diamond. His objective is to produce a perfectly symmetrical gemstone whose right and left sides are mirror images of each other.
At the same time, he has to find the optimal balance between yielding the most diamond weight and creating the best proportioned cut. One reason why higher grades of cut are so much more costly is because more diamond was sacrificed to create them. That's also why a well proportioned one-carat diamond may be worth twice as much as a poorly proportioned larger diamond that lacks fire and brilliance.
In search of the "ideal"
For centuries, diamond cutting experts have pondered what combination of proportions creates the optimal balance of brilliance, scintillation and dispersion (the diamond's sparkle and fire).
The 58-facet model developed in 1919 by master gem cutter and mathematician Marcel Tolkowsky has provided a foundation for today's most widely accepted proportions. However, while Tolkowsky's model dictated precise proportions for table diameter, crown height, pavilion depth, crown angle and pavilion angle, many grading labs and diamond sellers today offer a more liberal interpretation. The market itself dictates a wider range of acceptable proportions.
In fact, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the world's leading gemological authority, actually advises against using the term "ideal" cut. Why? Because the GIA has demonstrated that literally thousands of variations on these proportions can maximize the different optical characteristics displayed by a diamond. As long as the diamond's proportions fall within the acceptable range of tolerances (and Shane Co. searches the world's markets for the finest cuts), you can be assured of buying a gemstone that is well made. Furthermore, you could view two gemstones with vastly different cut proportions, and be hard-pressed to determine which gemstone is more beautiful.
For appearance's sake
The way a gemstone is cut can affect its appearance in other ways. If the diamond has a deep cut, it actually looks smaller than another diamond of the same weight that is cut well. Likewise, a diamond that has a spread cut (cut shallow) will appear larger than another diamond of the same weight that is cut well. A diamond that is cut either too deep or too spread is typically undesirable.

I used it each evening for about half and hour to water a few plants I had transplanted. Then all of a sudden after about a week it will not close down... water kept pouring out. I could get it to stop by turning the head between settings, or going back to the tape and turning that off. So I went back to my old trusted Nozzle which I have had for about 6 years and still works the way it should..This nozzle was just a waste of good money....

This nozzle will apparently measure the water you use, which is definitely a plus for conservation. The only issue is that the water amount is not variable, it's either on or off which causes issues if you're watering delicate flowers.

Braxton Hicks Contractions
Skip to the navigationTopic Overview
During the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, you may notice episodes when your belly tightens and becomes firm to the touch, then relaxes. These are episodes of tightening (contraction) of the uterine muscles called Braxton Hicks contractions. These normal contractions may be hardly noticeable or may be strong enough to make you stop what you are doing.
Considered "warm-up" exercises for the uterus, Braxton Hicks contractions can begin as early as the 20th week of pregnancy, although most often they start between the 28th and 30th week.
Braxton Hicks contractions are usually infrequent in mid-pregnancy. However, they can be more frequent during the ninth month, sometimes occurring as often as every 10 to 20 minutes.1
Braxton Hicks contractions:
- Usually disappear during exercise or activity (unlike true labor pains, which continue or increase if you move around).
- Are more noticeable during rest.
It may be hard to tell the difference between Braxton Hicks contractions and true labor. If there is any doubt, consult your health professional.

Holiday Gift Ideas (hint: they are ALL books) | |
Written by Jen Vaughn | Filed under Walt Kelly, Noah Van Sciver, Michael Kupperman, Love and Rockets, Justin Hall, Jaime Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez, George Herriman, Gary Panter, Ernie Bushmiller, Disney, Daily OCD, Charles M Schulz, Carl Barks, Basil Wolverton | 26 Nov 2012 12:46 PM |
Now that the mess of Halloween is swept under the rug and Thanksgiving is over or has turned into subcutaneous fat around your middle-section, we can get back to what is really important: egg nog and books to buy for your loved ones be they the birthday-celebrating Sagittarius or Capricorn in your life or for an annual wintertime holiday. Many of our books have been featured on holiday gift guides and we even have thematic releases coming out just in time for the holidays. So peruse while you finish up your holiday shopping lists. (And remember our CYBER MONDAY sale is going on RIGHT NOW for 30% off 2012 titles and more)
For the monster in you and that book to connect generations of family members, look no further than SPACEHAWK by Basil Wolverton. Cory Doctorow of Boing Boing believes "what you read it for is the character design, that amazing Wolverton grotesque that is as unmistakable as it is unforgettable. I mean to say, this guy could really draw monsters [in this] weighty tome that almost strobes with awesome."
For the completist and nostalgic fan, Publishers Weekly gift guide highlights the first three volumes of Krazy & Ignatz: Complete Sunday Strips 1916-1924 by George Herriman (for a whopping $95). PW states "One of the most admired and influential comic strips of all time, Krazy & Ignatz is collected in Krazy & Ignatz: Complete Sunday Strips 1916–1924, which contains the first nine years of George Herriman's masterpiece into one (of three) handsome tomes."
For more strip and comic book archival collections Tom Spurgeon of The Comics Reporter suggests Walt Kelly's Pogo Vol. 1-2 Box Set. "I love the early Pogo work best of all the Pogo work, and these volumes are attractive in a way that's extremely difficult to guarantee with a post-World War 2 offering. They were cramming the strips into papers by then, making tear sheets and originals an even greater premium than is usual." A little history with your recommendation.
Speaking of history Publishers Weekly calls it a 'good yarn,' but The Hypo by Noah Van Sciver is also for 'that person who loved the film Lincoln' as Comic Book Resources puts it. "This is an angle of Lincoln that rarely gets seen, and Van Sciver's strong plotting and detailed artwork make this an engaging and easily accessible read to any reader."
In the mood for more biographies or memoirs? Publishers Weekly suggests No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics, edited by Justin Hall. The NY TIMES also featured this "sampling of comic books and comic strips featuring gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender themes and characters has strong language and sexual situations, but a lot of laughs too. It is a wonderful toe dip into the genre," states George Gene Gustines.
"For the person who reads John Hodgman" cartoonist, quippest and sharpest tack on the internet block Michael Kupperman is the man for you. Rob Panel Patter continues, "He's the author of my favorite book of 2011, Mark Twain's Autobiography 1910-2010, as well as the Tales Designed to Thrizzle anthology series. His work features outrageous satire . . . sending Twain off on wacky hijinks with Albert Einstein. Nothing is sacred and everything is skewered by Kupperman, who is a perfect fit for the lovers of Daily Show-like comedy.
atFor the person who enjoys process over narrative the "punk icon Gary Panter's angular world of neon brutalism" Dal Tokyo is the perfect gift for the 'Visual Splendor', says Publishers Weekly.
Tom Spurgeon of The Comics Reporter recommends comics for people WHO ALREADY LIKE THEM. #1 on his list is anything by The Hernandez Brothers. "They made some of the very best comics the year that Love and Rockets began; they made some of the very best comics this year." Start from the beginning with Gilbert's Palomar Series in the book Heartbreak Soup or with Jaime's Locas Series starting with Maggie the Mechanic. Is your loved one a huge fan? Get the latest book, Love and Rockets: New Stories #5.
But wait! (There's more) We also have blue spruce trimmed books for your holiday and year-long enjoyment. First up is the perfect stocking stuffer Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking, this adorable little package collects two of Charles M. Schulz's best "extras" from the 1960s: two Christmas-themed stories written and drawn for national magazines are FINALLY collected in book form. The Comics Reporter says, "There aren't a whole lot of Charles Schulz-related items that have yet to be published; this holiday-related book is one of the few hold-outs." Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking was also featured on The LA Times Gifts for Under $25 "Charlie, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Frieda, Violet, Shermy and Sally all make appearances, and the book also includes a pocket-sized biography of Schulz." Created in the classic square style of Charlie Brown small book collections, this book is sure to warm your hearts without the need of a glowing fire or mug of mulled cider.
Walt Disney's Donald Duck: A Christmas for Shacktown by Carl Barks is the third book in our Carl Barks Library which chronologically prints stories from this master. "A Christmas for Shacktown" is a rare 32-pager that stays within the confines of Duckburg, featuring a storyline in which the Duck family works hard to raise money to throw a Christmas party for the poor children of the city's slums (depicted by Barks with surprisingly Dickensian grittiness). The Comics Reporter's Tom Spurgeon states, "I used to love the unabashed sentimentalism that saturates a story like this one, at least in the initial pages."
The rest of the book is also full of GOLD and not necessarily snow-covered. 240 pages in full-color glory make this a must-have no matter what the season. Featured on The LA Times Gifts for Under $50 "Fantagraphics has been reprinting Carl Barks' classic Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge work, and this third volume focuses on Barks' peak period in the early 1950s."
Finally, the second book of Ernie Bushmiller's famous strip Nancy is out for pre-order. Nancy Likes Christmas: Complete Dailies 1946-1948 is three more punny years of the fabulous life of an odd looking little girl. Order through us and you'll receive an FBI mini comic to throw in that stocking over the fireplace (be it real or the Netflix fireplace) as well. Spurgeon again, "it sounds good. I'm pro-Nancy and everything." It's kinda like being pro-education. We all agree it's a good thang.
Order now for the holidays! We even have the you must buy by this date to ensure proper delivery and minimum tears.

Megan M.United StatesHairDark BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGreat ProductI have dark brown hair, close to black, and previous experiences with bleach I've always gotten a dark orange when left on for the maximum amount of time. This time my hair was significantly lighter after only an hour. Highly recommended. Also it did not leave my hair course at all, it still feels soft and smooth. =)posted Jul 13, 2011Link to this post
HeatherHairBlackFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairThe Smoothest Most Effective Hairbleach Out There.Way back in the day before the internet I used to use WellaSpeedlite which was either really good or just plain bad because I had no idea how long it was sitting on the shelf.
Coming to folica.com I decided to try something different because the bleachs sold at places like drug stores were like trying to smooth cement through your hair.
This is really smooth in it's application and thoroughly bleachs your hair.
To those of you that complain it has no directions for making a test sample that's because it's pro- they figure you know what you're doing. But it's easy; use equal amounts of peroxide and lightener. That's all you have to do.
I highly recommend it- I bleached my hair from blackest black to white in order to dye it blue. I will definitely be a repeat buyer.
Just as a sideline note: I have fine hair as opposed to course. You may find a difference in results if your hair is course.posted Jan 4, 2011Link to this post -
ChiloeHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairGreat!This was my first time bleaching my own hair and this kit was great! Very easy to use and effective on my nearly black hair. I kept the bleach in for about an hour and my hair now a sort of golden yellow. Damage to my hair has been minimal as well.posted Nov 5, 2010Link to this post
BlackvelvetskyBest Bleach KitThis product is great! Easy to use, and makes the dye process go so very smoothly. It actually preps the hair for dye better than other products I've seen before.
For those who complain about not having enough, do your homework first. It's common knowledge among the beauty world that for this type of dye process, multiple bottles is a must for a lot of hair. You'll run into the same thing with every other bleach kit, and the dye bottles.posted Oct 15, 2010Link to this post -
RobinUsHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairRip-offI am not even going to comment on results. This is some leftover product , repackaged without proper instructions. I am annoyed that this company has decided not to include directions for mixing so that one can do the allergy test. Not even sure that omission is totally legal with the FDA.
Obviously, they don't want you to know the ratio to mix just a small, effective amount allowing you to safely use the remaining unmixed portions at a later date. If the company thinks I am going to keep buying their product more frequently because of this stategy, they're nuts!posted Sep 11, 2010Link to this post -
HeatherHairColor Treated HairOmgthis is the worst hair bleaching experience i have EVER had! i bought two bottles 'just for in case' and it wasn't enough! now i have half my hair brown and hair blonde! this is horrible! they should at least say "you may need 3 boxes for long hair" but they give you nothing! OMG! now i have to wait for more to come! im not leaving the house looking like this! AFTER THIS TIME I WILL NEVER BUY THIS AGAIN!posted Oct 24, 2009Link to this post
Michelle LundquistGo Punky!I have been using Jerome Russells Punky Bleach for two years now. It works well, is relatively easy on your hair, and is a good price.

ReeneeyeNorthridge, CaliforniaHairColor Treated HairThe Best Bleach KitI used the Punky Bleach Kit by Jerome Russell to highlight my sons hair and it worked beautifully. Ive used other bleach kits in the past with only fair results. The Punky Bleach Kit had easy insturctions with great results.

Great Job Jerome Russell!posted Apr 22, 2008Link to this post

Stroman, Blue Jays aiming to secure series win
Rays hoping Archer is on the mark in rematch at Tropicana Field
Hovering around .500 and double-digit games behind the American League East-leading Orioles is not how the Blue Jays and Rays envisioned entering September when the 2014 season began.
Wednesday's middle game at Tropicana Field, however, represents a head-to-head look at pieces who could very well be instrumental for September 2015.
Right-handers Marcus Stroman, 23, and Chris Archer, 25, will face each other for the first time, as the Blue Jays sit 5 1/2 games and the Rays 9 1/2 out of a Wild Card spot.
For both players, this start will be their second against the same team in three turns through the rotation. The Rays lit up Stroman for six runs (five earned) in five innings on Aug. 22, a Tampa Bay blowout win, while Archer quieted the Toronto bats for seven innings of one-run ball two days later.
The pitchers went in opposite directions in their only outings since. First, Stroman held the Red Sox to a lone earned run in 7 2/3 innings on Wednesday.
"He's a strong kid," manager John Gibbons said of Stroman, a first-round Draft pick in 2012. "He's coming out of college, he's still a youngster, but he has some innings in the Minor Leagues, too. It crosses your mind when he has a couple of outings when he struggles.
"Is he tired out a little bit, running out of gas? Who knows where it goes from here, but he's put together pretty good. Strong guy, low center of gravity. I don't think that will be a problem with him."
Facing the same team two days after Stroman, Archer yielded eight runs (seven earned) in four innings against the Red Sox. That was a sharp contrast to the way he pitched the rest of the month (1.99 ERA, 1.17 WHIP).
Archer said he feels better heading into this month than he did last September, when he had a 4.78 ERA and didn't make it through five innings in four of his six outings.
"I feel better, which allows me to trust myself even more than I did last year," Archer said. "What I'm talking about right now is physically, I feel not as worn down. 'Stronger' might not be the word, but just not as worn out as I was last year."
Archer has found success against the Blue Jays since breaking into the Majors in 2012. He owns a 3.75 ERA while striking out 27 batters in 24 innings across four career starts against Toronto. Stroman's only start against Tampa was the one a week and a half ago.
Blue Jays: No. 1 prospect Norris among callups
If the Blue Jays' clubhouse felt a little tighter than normal on Tuesday, it's probably because there were an extra 10 bodies -- seven promoted Minor Leaguers and three players activated from the disabled list -- showing up for work for the team's first game since rosters expanded to 40 players on Monday.
Among them is 21-year-old lefty Daniel Norris, the club's No. 1 prospect, according to MLB.com. He started the season with Class A Advanced Dunedin, but he made his way to Triple-A Buffalo by mid-August.
Across three levels, Norris posted a 2.53 ERA and 1.11 WHIP while striking out 11.8 batters per nine innings. Norris -- a starter by trade -- will likely be used out of the bullpen.
"The guys we brought in here on the pitching side of it, they're here to help us," Gibbons said.
Rays: Geltz sees first action since '12
Steve Geltz's Rays debut on Monday didn't go the way he would have liked -- he blew a save against the Red Sox -- but he was happy with the type of situation the coaches trusted him with: late-game and high-leverage.
"It's my job," said Geltz, who is among the club's recent callups and made a two-game cameo with the Angels in August 2012. "I shouldn't expect to pitch in any situation other than what they tell me. I'm not going to say, 'Hey, I need to pitch in this ...' No. You can pitch me up 10-0, or losing 10-0, or if it's 1-1."
Tuesday, it was a 5-2 deficit when Geltz entered in the fourth. He tossed a scoreless inning with three strikeouts and a walk. The back-to-back days of work appear to reflect manager Joe Maddon's strategy regarding recently promoted personnel.
"Once you get them absorbed, then they can really help you," Maddon said. "If a guy comes up and sits around for four or five days, he feels like he's on the periphery all the time, really not part of this. So then all of a sudden, you ask him in a crucial moment to come on in the game, and the guy hasn't pitched -- that's just really a bad way to do business, I think."
Worth noting
• Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie, who has been on the disabled list for nearly a month with a strained oblique, is officially done for the season. The club placed him on the 60-day disabled list on Tuesday to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Toronto's bevy of September callups.
• Tampa Bay center fielder Desmond Jennings was not in the lineup on Tuesday for the fifth straight game due to a sore left knee.

KBR says it will support Shell's effort to maximize off-site modularization for this project by providing pipe spool fabrication and module assembly for pipe, process, equipment and building modules. The scope also includes the fabrication of several unique and innovative vertical modules.
Shell has selected KBR to perform off-site modularization and pipe fabrication at their Edmonton module facility, the companies confirmed on Friday. This project will use Shell's Quest carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to reduce CO2 emissions at Shells upgrader, which upgrades oil originating from Shells Athabasca oil sands operations. This technology will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by capturing more than 1 million tpy of CO2 produced during the upgrading process, according to the companies.
KBR says it will support Shells effort to maximize off-site modularization by providing pipe spool fabrication and module assembly for pipe, process, equipment and building modules. The scope of work also includes the fabrication of several unique and innovative vertical modules and support for off-site testing and commissioning services.
KBR is excited to participate in this critical and important environmental project for the Alberta Oil Sands, said Ivor Harrington, president of KBR's services group. The Quest CCS project leadership team has expressed a deep commitment to engage and collaborate across all levels of both KBR and Shell in order to achieve world class safety, quality, cost and environmental performance. This project brings together world leaders in their respective fields, with a commitment to set new benchmarks for project performance in Canada. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
