Great Ring I was visiting the Overstock.Com site and clicked on the jewelry section. One of the first items that popped on the screen was this ring. I thought it was absolutely beautiful and the price was great too. I decided to give it a try and order it, and I'm very glad I did. This is a lovely ring, well made, substantial amount of metal, and the center stone is pure and brilliant. Colors just keep flashing at me all the time. The smaller stones on each side of the ring are clear and brilliant also. One of the things that really makes this ring so pretty is the high setting and the lovely profile it has. The gallery and the basket are really eye-catching and look like something one would find on a ring costing thousands of dollars. I'm very, very impressed and I have the ring on my finger as I type right now. This is definitely a keeper!!

Beautiful Ring I just got this ring in the mail and it is beautiful. It is not too large (comparable in size to a 2 ct. real diamond depending on the table/cut). It is also not set too high for the size of the center stone. I compared it to my 1.47 ct. real diamond and it is a smidge larger. The only thing is, this ring is much cleaner and without flaws, very brilliant. My diamond is nearly colorless at an F, but, this ring's center stone is truly colorless. My diamond also has a slight inclusion underneath one of the 6 pronges, this ring is flawless...super clean...plus my platinum has lost it's polish over the years whereas this ring is brand spankin' new. So, all in all, you could tell it is fake if you examined it from like 6 inches. But, under inside light, or an intimate setting, there is no way to tell this is not the real deal. Can't speak for in the daylight because I haven't checked yet. You can't beat the price, grab it.

Beautiful ring This ring IS stunning, I won't dispute that. But, do NOT clean it with jewlery cleaner, as it actually eats the finish on the ring. Stick with soap and water. Other than that, it's great.

I hope my review helps you... Thank You Overstock.

Buy this ring! I am going on vacation and did not want to wear my expensive diamond engagement, so when I saw this ring I had to order it. It is much prettier and convincing in real life. I though it would be cheaply made, but that's not the case. I wear this ring everyday and people compliment me on it all the time. This is the best purchase I have ever made.

Any chance it would come in a size 9, I think a 9.5 would be too loose. Or if I order a 9.5 would it be able to sized down if needed?
Hello palady79, all available sizes are listed under the options drop down box. Unfortunately this ring cannot be sized. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks for shopping with us.
Is there any way this ring could come in a size 14?
Hello sweetpea08, unfortunately the largest size offered is size 13. Thanks for shopping with us.
This product contains chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. I did not see this information in the product description. Why not?
What exactly are the "chemicals" and where are the to be contained in? In the silver or the cubic Zirconia? If you are that suspicious you should not buy any jewelry at all.
I was not suspicious before I purchased the ring. It arrived with a warning on the box - the statement I listed above. I think they should warn us before they take our money. I assume it is either lead or cadmium but since they didn't list the chemical I can't be sure. Your answer is more sarcastic than helpful. Why bother?
How scary...I do have to agree that it should be shown somewhere in the description. I order from a Craft Company who right on their website states that they follow California's Law on Prop 65 which is about certain chemicals causing birth defects and you can contact them for which item's you may purchase if you have a concern. I think its great that it's being brought to our attention. I would have never have known living in NY where we are basically hand fed poison everyday in the form of pollution that jewelry could also contain these chemicals. So I am happy to be made aware.
Usually this means it is harmful if your ingest it or light in on fire and inhale. They can't sell something that could cause harm under normal use. I used to work for a large office supply chain and our chairs came to customers with the disclaimer "This product has chemicals that is known to the state of California to cause cancer etc" I looked into it and they told me, as long as you don't eat it or light it on fire you're safe.
Actually, that is incorrect. Heavy metals can be absorbed through the skin. You don't have to consume lead to be poisoned by it.
It can't be worse than a plastic shower liner
how do i order the black plated one? Seems like only sterling silver is an option
Hi mitchsta, unfortunately that option is not available at the moment. Items are restocked as they become available, however we cannot guarantee an item will be restocked. Please feel free to check back with us periodically to see if the item has returned. Thanks for shopping with us.
Do you have a wedding band that goes with this ring/setting?
Hello ladylord, Unfortunately I was unable to find a particular wedding band that goes with this Tressa Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia Filigree Engagement Ring on our site, but we do have a large variety of wedding bands. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
could I get this in a 7.5mm cz so 1.75 carat size for the center stone?
can the center stone be swopped for a amethyst and what would it cost me then?
I am sure it can . A nice 8mm amethyst should cost around 10.00 to 15.00 dollars plus whatever the cost to mount it which is not a big job .
is this ring plated with rodium
No, this ring is not coated with rodium.
this one is sterling silver
Why can it not be resized?
Rings with settings on the side cannot be resized. Further, we don''t offer resizing services.
I wouldn't try resizing it because of the settings in the band. Resizing can cause the settings to stretch and the stones will fall out.
What carat would this ring be in a diamond?
We are currently working on getting this information. We will post an answer as soon as possible.
I say 2.
Either 2 or 3. It's a good sized stone in there. It is still really nice for CZ.

a simmerman is known as the king of all tweens. It's very rare to see a simmerman without two tweenies under both of his arms. simmermans are always trying to win a dart championship so they can pull even more tweens then they already do. i once heard a simmerman say he is addicted to alcohol, chew and tweenies. simmermans have a very slender penis, it looks similar to that of a monkeys. but dem tweenies don't care. they prefer the name daddy over thier real name but also respond to king tween. You might often see a simmerman cruising around highschools in the area, where they scopes out tweens and even cruises around the elementary schools to see whats going to be on the market in a few years.
There goes that simmerman with them tweenies again.
I wish i could get them tweens like a simmerman.

Political signs touting the candidacies of Neil Pagano and Sam Terenzi are hung on the fence outside Cafe Brazil in Port Chester March 12, 2013. (Matthew Brown/The Journal News) / Matthew Brown / The Journal News
Port Chester commercial landlords Neil Pagano and his cousin, Bart Didden, are running in Tuesday�s village election on a slate called �Standing up for Port Chester Taxpayers.�
Their stand includes a pledge to expand the village�s commercial tax base. That�s part of the slate�s economic development strategy, detailed in a glossy campaign brochure, which calls for �keeping taxes down.�
�We will increase the commercial tax base and lower the burden on homeowners,� the pamphlet declared.
Tax Watch has discovered that the public policy goals espoused by Pagano, who is running for mayor, and Didden, seeking re-election to the village board, are at considerable odds with the actions they�ve taken with their real estate companies as they battle the Town of Rye over property assessments on their buildings. Legal papers filed over the past several years on behalf of the corporations that own their buildings on North Main Street reveal requests to reduce their property assessments by 75 percent.
If successful, Pagano�s and Didden�s companies would shrink their share of the commercial tax base that their slate purportedly wants to expand. And local taxpayers would be left holding the bag for tax refunds estimated at $300,000.
The lawsuits filed by attorney William Yurus for Pagano�s corporations, which are now pending in state Supreme Court, date back to 2008, with challenges to assessments filed in 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012 on properties at 17-25 N. Main St., 30-32 N. Main St. and 33-35 N. Main St. Didden has sought to cut his assessment by 75 percent at 115 N. Main St. every year since 2006.
Property-assessment challenges are big business in the region. Their cases were among 4,067 filed in state Supreme Court in 2012, according to Westchester County Clerk Tim Idoni. He noted last week that filings were down 5 percent in 2012. But the number of cases is still 24 percent higher than in 2006, as tax attorneys like Yurus file cases on behalf of property owners looking to cut their assessments and the tax bills that are based on those property values.
Attorneys earn their fee by taking a portion of their clients� tax savings � sometimes as high as 50 percent.
Didden has Yurus file tax grievances every year, as part of his real estate company�s normal business operation, he said. Didden�s main enterprise, USA Central Station Alarm Corp., is headquartered at 113 N. Main St., where a banner touting the slate hangs from the building�s eastern fa�ade.
�I think everybody should file on their properties,� says Didden. �It keeps the assessor honest. There are a number of disparities on Main Street with assessments. I think the Town of Rye�s valuation process has holes.�
Rye Town Assessor Mitchell Markowitz says the lowball assessment challenges made by these corporations are typical of the commercial cases that get filed in Rye Town, with tax attorneys regularly claiming in court papers that their clients� properties are valued at just 10 to 20 percent of what he has determined in his annual updating of the town�s assessment rolls.
�This is typical and customary of the private sector,� says Markowitz. �I wish they�d provide evidence with their complaints to support those claims.�
Pagano heads up the family real estate business, C.J. Pagano & Sons, where he runs a real estate appraisal practice in addition to his North Main Street holdings, which house several restaurants, a dental clinic, a nail salon, an ice cream parlor and an Assembly of God worship hall.
When contacted on Tuesday, Pagano said he knew nothing of the tax grievances filed on behalf of his corporations, which included documents he signed, as managing partner, authorizing Yurus to challenge the assessments.
After conferring with Yurus, Pagano told Tax Watch on Wednesday that his attorney had apparently made a mistake for every year, on each of his buildings. The court documents each year claimed that the properties were valued at just 25 percent of the assessment set by the town assessor. Pagano maintained his attorney had mistakenly sought a 75 percent reduction when he should have sought a reduction of 25 percent.
�There�s no way anyone could believe that those buildings should be valued at 75 percent less,� said Pagano, who chairs Port Chester�s Industrial Development Agency.
Yurus, however, stood by his filings, which he said were his clients� initial positions in what could lead to a negotiated settlement. That�s when he would present evidence of the properties� values. He said he typically provides what he calls a �conservative� valuation, which he can support once a court date is set.
�It�s a better course, to be safe and prudent,� Yurus said.

Strasburg cruises after tough first to top LA
Righty allows two runs early, then holds Dodgers scoreless
WASHINGTON -- After a one-hour, 40-minute rain delay, right-hander Stephen Strasburg was solid on the mound and helped the Nationals edge the Dodgers, 3-2, at Nationals Park on Wednesday afternoon.
Strasburg got off to a slow start and allowed two runs in the first inning. With runners on first and second and one out, Adrian Gonzalez singled to right field, scoring Carl Crawford. Yasiel Puig followed and singled to left field, sending Hanley Ramirez home.
"I tried to stay to the game plan. I have given up a few hits," Strasburg said. "For the most part, they were ground balls. That's kind of how baseball is sometimes. It's great to see the offense answer back there and give it back to me. It was basically a zero-zero ballgame. I kind of started over after the first."
Strasburg would pitch 7 1/3 innings, allowing the two runs on seven hits. He struck out six batters and walked two.
"He threw well today," catcher Wilson Ramos said. "The first inning, he had a little bit of a struggle, but he made adjustments. The fastball was the key today. He threw a lot of fastballs. Maybe those guys were waiting for the breaking pitch a lot, but we tried to hit them with the fastball."
It looked like Strasburg might complete the second game of his career. Entering the eighth inning, Strasburg threw 106 pitches. In the past, Strasburg would have been out of the game, but manager Matt Williams made it clear that he wants Strasburg to be his workhorse.
"He is our horse," Williams said about Strasburg. "He is a guy that could go 120 [pitches]. I don't want him to do that every time, but in a game like today, he has the lead. I want to show confidence. I'm going to send him back out there to protect that lead. He pitched well."
Right-hander Dan Haren was on the mound for the Dodgers and, at first, he looked like the pitcher who was struggling with the Nationals last year. Washington was able to tie the score by scoring two runs in the bottom of the first.
With runners on second and third, Adam LaRoche hit a ball that hit the top of the right-field wall for a single. Denard Span and Jayson Werth scored on the play.
"I haven't had that much success on that mound," Haren said. "The game started off like my first half of last year. I'm sure the fans were happy with that."
LaRoche couldn't advance to second because he is dealing with a tight right quad. He said the injury is not getting better and he is having a tough time fielding and running the bases. For example, a healthy LaRoche would have likely fielded the single hit by Gonzalez in the first inning.
"[The injury has] been pretty steady for probably the last week," LaRoche said. "We are treating it, doing everything we can. It feels better one day then kind of back to where it felt in the beginning. Just keep nursing it and hope I can pull through it."
It was also the return of Ramos, who missed over a month because of a broken hamate bone in his left hand. He played like he never missed beat, going 1-for 2 with a walk. In his first at-bat off Haren, he doubled to left-center field.
Four innings later, Ramos helped the Nationals take the lead off Haren. With the bases loaded, Ramos hit a sacrifice fly to Puig in right field, scoring Span.
Ramos said he is excited to be back with the team and making a difference.
"I was waiting for this moment for about five weeks," Ramos said. "I'm happy to be here. It's good to be back on the team."
Strasburg is one guy who is happy to have Ramos back behind the dish.
"Not to knock [Jose Lobaton], but having Wilson's bat in the [middle of the lineup] is huge and I always love throwing to him," Strasburg said.
The Nationals improved their record to 19-15.

Working Paper | HBS Working Paper Series | 2012 How Short-Termism Invites Corruption—And What to Do About It Malcolm S. Salter Researchers and business leaders have long decried short-termism: the excessive focus of executives of publicly traded companies-along with fund managers and other investors-on short-term results. The central concern is that short-termism discourages long-term investments, threatening the performance of both individual firms and the U.S. economy.I argue that short-termism also invites institutional corruption. I define that as institutionally supported behavior that-while not necessarily unlawful-undermines a company's legitimate processes and core values, weakening its capacity to achieve espoused goals and eroding public trust. In the private sector, institutional corruption typically entails gaming society's laws and regulations, tolerating conflicts of interest, persistently violating accepted norms of fairness, and pursuing various forms of cronyism. The gaming of Securities and Exchange Commission rules by Citigroup's mortgage-banking desk in 2007 is an illuminating example of institutional corruption in the finance industry. After exploring that case, I provide a more complete definition of gaming, and explain how short-termism invites the kind of gaming and institutional corruption that occurred at Citigroup. I then examine the key drivers of short-termism in contemporary business, and their potential effects on the behavior of both executives and their organizations. I conclude by proposing mechanisms to deter the corrupting effects of short-termism, including changes in both business and public policy. While business leaders and policymakers have been cautious in implementing many of these countermeasures, we must seriously consider them if want to rein in the public and private costs of institutional corruption in the private sector.

Working Paper | HBS Working Paper Series | 2010 Lawful but Corrupt: Gaming and the Problem of Institutional Corruption in the Private Sector Malcolm S. Salter This paper describes how the gaming of society's rules by corporations contributes to the problem of institutional corruption in the world of business. "Gaming" in its various forms involves the use of technically legal means to subvert the intent of society's rules in order to gain advantage over rivals, maximize reported earnings, maintain high credit ratings, preserve access to capital on favorable terms, and reap personal rewards-just to mention several possible motives. It is one of the most corrosive forms of institutional corruption in business. "Institutional corruption" refers to company-sanctioned behavior and relationships that may be lawful but either harm the public interest or weaken the capacity of the institution to achieve its primary purposes. The most salient consequence of institutional corruption is diminished public trust in the governance of the institution. In this paper, I describe the twin phenomena of gaming and institutional corruption—and how the former contributes to the latter, often with the support of professional advisors at law and auditing firms. I illustrate these phenomena with examples from Enron, which (apart from outright fraud) pursued one of the greatest gaming strategies of all time. I also point to the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act as an excellent source of clinical data pertaining to gaming in a more contemporary setting. I then discuss how gaming and other trust-destroying behaviors have been encouraged by the short-term decision-making horizons of both corporate executives and managers of large investment funds, how those time horizons are largely driven by ways in which the performance of operating executives and investment fund managers is measured and rewarded, and how the directors of these entities become complicit in the gaming of society's rules and the spreading of institutional corruption. I end by suggesting possible remedies for curbing the ill effects of continued gaming of society's rules and restoring much needed public trust in the offending institutions.

No it isn't, not even close.
ADRENO (it is no coincidence that it's name is made with the exact same letters that spell RADEON) is the best and most free at the moment. Why? Because a HUGE chunk of AMD documentation applies to it. Do you know why that is? Its because Adreno 200 is... an AMD Z430.
Freedreno is being written, at least to some extent, with the assistance of the AMD hardware documentation.

Fiber. You know you need to eat it. You are pretty sure it is good for you. But what is fiber, really? And why is it good for you?
Fiber is found only in plants. It is from the plant cells, particularly the cell walls. The plant fiber that we eat is called dietary fiber. It is unique from other components of the plant because humans lack the enzymes necessary to digest it.
Dietary fiber is made up of two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble means that when the fiber is mixed with a liquid, it forms a gel-like solution. Insoluble fiber does not mix with liquid and passes through the digestive tract largely intact. Both types of fiber help maintain bowel regularity.
Diets high in fiber have been associated with reduced risk of death due to cardiovascular disease (including heart attack and stroke), cancer, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
When eaten as part of a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet, soluble fiber can help lower cholesterol and may help lower your risk cardiovascular disease. Examples of foods high in soluble fiber include oatmeal, beans, peas, and citrus fruits.
Insoluble fiber is important for normal digestive health. Insoluble fiber speeds up movement through the small intestine and helps to alleviate constipation. Foods that are high in insoluble fiber include apple skin, wheat cereal, whole-wheat breads, and carrots.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends that women consume 25 grams of fiber daily, while men consume 38 grams. Fiber needs drop after the age of 50. Women older than 50 should consume 21 grams of fiber daily, and men should consume 30 grams daily. This includes both soluble and insoluble fiber. The following table lists how much fiber you can find in some common foods.
Source: Journal of Family Practice. 2006;9:761-769
It is easier than you think to increase the fiber in your diet. It just takes a little thought and some action. Here are a few ideas to help you get on track to getting your daily recommended amount of fiber.

Research shows that in order for young people to succeed, all young people need caring adults and mentors around them.
So, how do you find mentors for your child? There are formal ways: through programs, such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters, or through a mentoring program in your school or community. There are informal ways as well, such as noticing which adults connect with your kids and building relationships with them.
Informal adult mentors could be teachers, coaches, private music teachers, neighbors, club leaders, extended family members, colleagues at work, or parents of your kids' friends.
A seventh-grade math teacher and an eighth-grade language arts teacher became mentors to my child. Even now that he is a sophomore in college—and living out of state during the school year—these two adults still connect with him. Sometimes it's through Facebook. Sometimes it's through e-mail. When my son is home, the eighth-grade language arts teacher invites him over for ice cream, and they visit with each other.
My other child is still in high school, and I've noticed a couple of adults who have stepped in— an aunt, an uncle, a private music teacher, and a neighbor—and taken a mentoring role in his life, even though nobody calls it "mentoring".
But what if no one steps up?
There have been periods in my kids' lives when no one did. So, I began finding activities that my kids enjoyed, and paid attention to the coaches and club leaders who connected well with them. I discovered that if I want other adults to be a mentor to my kids, I need to be a mentor as well. One of the best ways I've found to do this is through activities that I love. I really enjoy playing flute, and I've mentored a number of young flute players. I also keep our house open and welcoming to my kids and their friends. My oldest son loves jamming with his friends, and so they jam at our house (even though the music can get a bit loud). I make sure they have snacks they like, and I always try to connect with one person whenever they arrive at our house. I ask them about their lives: what they're excited about, what they dream about, what's happening lately at school. Then I tell them how proud I am of them, and whenever I do that, I marvel at how they stand straighter and taller. They even go out of their way to greet me when I'm at the store or somewhere in the community.
Being a mentor isn't just about giving. It's about building a relationship that matters, and that relationship works both ways: between you and the child.
So keep on the lookout for mentors. They're everywhere. They're in our neighborhoods. They're in our schools. They're in our kids' activities. They're easy to spot. They're compassionate, trustworthy adults who truly care about kids. And when our kids get to know some mentors, everyone wins. The mentor. The mentee. The parent. Everyone.
A good mentor-mentee relationship takes time to develop, but as the parent or caregiver, you play an important role in helping this special friendship grow, whether or not you have much direct contact with your child's mentor. Check out the strength- and evidence-based mentoring resources available through Search Institute to help enhance your child's relationship with his or her mentor, and increase the likelihood that he or she receives the strengths and supports needed to succeed.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Canon shooters who need to squeeze more into the frame will be licking their lips at the announcement of the world's widest-angle rectilinear lens. Launched within the Canon L series of professional grade optics, the new Canon EF 11-14mm f/4L USM lens is designed with the professional landscape or architectural photographer in mind. Let's see how it shapes up. |
Canon has introduced an accessibly priced stabilized ultra wide-angle zoom complete with a stepper motor that should appeal to stills photographers and budding movie-makers alike. Read on to see how well this new model performs. |
In the lead up to Photokina 2012, Canon announced the new Canon EOS 6D full-frame entry-point model within days of Nikon publicizing their most-affordable full-frame camera to date, the 24-Mpix D600. While the EOS 6D boasted some attention grabbing features including built-in WiFi and GPS and slightly undercut the Nikon on price, it couldn't match its rival in one or two key areas, namely the less populated AF system and lower resolution sensor. |
The second in our series of selecting the best-quality lenses for your camera concentrates on one of the most highly-anticipated cameras of our time, the successor to the hugely popular EOS 5D Mark II. But by the time it was announced, in early March, it's probably fair to say Nikon had taken fair amount of interest away by announcing the 36M-Pix D800 and D800E models the month before. Be that as it may, there's no denying the 22.3 M-Pix EOS 5D Mark III is a remarkably capable camera, and a formidable rival to the Nikon. |
After looking at the Nikon AF-D series, DxOMark continues working its way through the history of photography by presenting the measurements for another "antique" lens, the Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM. |
This new Sigma 12-24mm EX DG HSM II wide-angle zoom for full-frame cameras is a somewhat improved version of the previous lens, the solidly-built Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG Canon. |
Our camera lens database keeps growing and this time we are adding the Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 HSM. This wide-angle lens is available for Nikon and Canon cameras fitted with an APS-C sensor. This lens offers an equivalent 12*24mm for 24*36 sensors. In addition to the previously reviewed Sigma 12-24mm f4.5-5.6 EX DG Canon mount and Nikon mount, these new results will give us a clear overview on how Sigma scores on entry-level wide-angle lenses. |

Recipe by Joyce Sokoloff
"A great chicken recipe that I have made for years. Serve with rice and a fresh veggie. Impressive!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 lemon
1/4 cup butter
3 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken broth, or more as needed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Since writing this recipe I have changed to a skillet. Brown chicken breasts on both sides in olive oil. Squeeze 1/2 of a lemon over all. Cover with lid over medium heat. Cook til done. Turning a few more times. If you want it more lemony add a teaspoon of lemon zest. I have also added 1 more cup of mushrooms to the sauce. Thanks for the reviews.
I made as listed but probably should have trusted my instinct to tweak a bit. We all thought this was missing something. The chicken did turn out nice and moist with a pleasant lemon taste but if I were to make this again, I'd definitely add minced garlic and perhaps marinate the chicken ahead of time so that it picks up a bit more flavor.

This recipe would be perfect if it called for some, ANY kind of seasoning! Salt and pepper isn't even mentioned. However, last night I made "Chicken Seasoning Blend," also from this site, and I was looking for a chicken recipe to use it on - and this one seemed perfect to rescue, especially since a number of reviewers remarked that this chicken was "blah" or "boring." These two were MADE for each other! The submitter (in her review) and I were obviously on the same page, as I preferred to prepare this in a skillet rather than in the oven. I dredged the chicken in flour, seasoned it with the "Chicken Seasoning Blend," then browned it in the skillet. When making the sauce, the flour is unnecessary. Once the chicken was done I removed it from the skillet and kept it warm. I sauteed the mushrooms with fresh minced garlic (and salt and pepper of course), added a good dousing of chicken broth, lemon juice and white wine (Pinot Grigio to be exact), reduced that somewhat, then swirled in some butter at the end to thicken the sauce and to make it rich and velvety smooth. (measuring these ingredients is really unnecessary - just cook with "a little of this and a little of that" and enjoy yourself!) Served this with pasta and sauteed patty pan squash with dill. This dinner, this chicken, was right up my alley.
This was very good - although it absolutely needs garlic. I marinated the chicken breasts in the olive oil and lemon juice (with additional spices like poultry spice, italian seasoning, thyme, salt and pepper) for about 3 hours, which made the deeply infused them with lemon. I baked them but also found they didn't brown, and so put them in the broiler for about 5 minutes right at the end to get that nice browned top. I also used 2 whole lemons in the entire process (and had scaled the recipe down to 2 servings) so it was quite lemony, but I like to really taste things. A nice change of pace.
Made this last night. It was simple enough, but I highly recommend doubling the sauce for your recipe. In my case, rather than using 6 breasts for the 4 serving size, I used 3 breasts and left the sauce amount as is. There was barely enough for my reduced serving. Anyway, the chicken came out beautifully. As other reviewers mentioned it could have used more flavor. I'll make sure to salt and pepper the breasts in the future. In addition, the sauce could have used more flavor. I used half broth and half wine for my version. I also added garlic powder, but it needed something more. Perhaps a bit of rosemary?? All in all I enjoyed the textures of everything, just need to spice it up a bit in the future. My accompaniments were brown rice and asparagus.
This was very good. I took the suggestion and instead of putting it in the oven, I just cooked it in a skillet. Also didn't have lemons, so I just used lemon juice and also sprinkled Lemon Pepper seasoning. I used a whole can of Chicken Broth, so I could have more gravy. Turned out great-- my whole family enjoyed this recipe. Thanks sooo much for sharing :>)
EXCELLENT!! I am going to recommend this recipe to people. I put some asparagus in with the chicken while it baked, and it soaked up the lemon flavor and tasted really good! I added some white wine with a cube of chicken boulion instead of chicken broth. It came out great and it was quite simple and is pretty fool proof. Great recipe!
My 14 yr. old daughter was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and trying to find recipies with low carbs that everyone likes can sometimes be difficult... what pleases one turns another off, but this recipie was a HIT! Everybody loved the scent that the lemon put in the air while the chicken was baking and more importantly for my family... they all LOVED the mushroom sauce. I did however use 2 4oz. cans of sliced mushrooms and upped the chicken broth to 1 cup. The only difference was the cooking time for the sauce but it was only a matter of 2-3 minutes... Bravo Joyce for such a wonderful recipie.

On the ABC of the Classical Dutch, IM Andrew Martin gives the student a thorough grounding in the ways of this unconventional opening. The positions that are reached after 1...f5 are always sharp and unclear, suiting the chessboard warrior very well. You cannot play the Dutch with a faint heart! The ABC of the Classical Dutch will analyse systems where predominantly Black plays with an early ...d7-d6. There are discussions of all the key ideas and opening themes, as well as repertoire suggestions for Black. The Classical Dutch does not enjoy an especially good reputation at the highest level, but from time to time the great players have employed 1...f5 when fighting outright for the win. It would not have been a good idea to tell Alekhine, Botvinnik, Bronstein or Larsen that 1...f5 is a weak move! The world of the Classical Dutch is a rather unusual one. If you are looking for a winning weapon as Black and you are an uncompromising fighter, then this opening is for you! Video running time: 3 hours 45 min.

This DVD is intended in the first line to offer strategical guidance for Black on the Leningrad Dutch, based on the examination of the most typical structures. For objectivity's sake I have examined both sides of the medal, putting the main strategic dangers aside with the typical plans. I have included all my earlier database articles published in Chessbase Magazine, a database with all the games to which I have referred in the videos as well as a small database with essential games that one should know.

Phoronix: Improved Memory Security For Radeon DRM
Yesterday the TTM memory manager and Radeon kernel mode-setting code entered the mainline Linux kernel Git tree, which means it will be part of the next Linux 2.6.31 kernel release. In the 2.6.31 series this new Radeon driver will be marked as "staging" as there is still some work left to be accomplished and further testing needs to be done with this driver and different Radeon graphics cards...
Dear Phoronix,
Can you please link to some mail archive other than the abomination that is sourceforge? Much appreciates - an anonymous user.
Personally, I find gmane to be much more readable. and faster.
Seconded. Gmane is so much easier to read, sourceforge could only be the worst choice for a link.
Edit: adding the link:

Couldn't be bothered looking for it in gmane, but here you go:
when can we expect kms for r600-r700 to enter the kernel?
The pacing item here is memory management for 6xx-7xx. We may need to release some additional HW info in order to finish memory management (specifically interrupts), not sure but looking into it.
It's probably safe to say "either 2.6.31 or 2.6.32" but hard to be more precise.
it's very subjective which parts should be developed earlier:
for me it's definitely not KMS
any info when additional power management support or improvements will be added to the xf86-video-ati or radeonhd driver ?
currently my box is getting warmer several degrees (centigrade) which also implies higher power consumption compared to fglrx/catalyst, for several people there's also the problem of fast spinning fans which is unacceptable
I know that 3D surely still takes a while for R600 or R700 but at least proper power management should be there
(even without DRI it's already faster than fglrx during 2D operations )
Here's the problem - additional power management support really needs to go in the kernel on top of KMS. The next real step in power management is dynamic adjustment of clocks and voltage, and that requires hooks into both modesetting and 2D/3D acceleration. The only place all that information comes together is in the kernel with KMS running, so that's where the power management code needs to go.
It is certainly possible to build additional protocols to pass modesetting info from a userspace driver down to the kernel, but since KMS is already in progress none of the devs thing it's worth implementing a throw-away solution in userspace.
Are you already using ForceLowPowerMode and related options ?
Last edited by bridgman; 06-18-2009 at 05:59 PM.
Have you tried the power management stuff in xf86-video-ati master and it isn't good enough?
I think the kernel MM is important to do ASAP because almost everything else they're doing right now relies on it working first. Power management can get tacked on at any time.
3% ? That's nothing. 100% that's a big deal.
Actually I wonder where we are going in graphics. It is easy to think of things to use CPU power for, but what happens when we have GPU's that can do Lord of the Rings type of graphics real time?
Physics doesn't scale like graphics does. If you do physics that effect game play, you have to simulate it all the time. E.g. it would be bad if you knocked some boxes over, and they land in one way if you look at then, and if you turn around, while they fall, they land in a different way
So I think we will get GPU's that can do very close LotR movie quality in the next generation of GPU's.
I say "Lord of the Rings movie quality is enough for anyone", so let's just burn some percentages off on security

Facemo. The art of habitually spewing gloom and doom about one's life via status update. Like emo, this is reserved for people who seemingly have never posted something nice, funny, or ironic.
"Look, I too am borderline ready for a mental institution, but you don't see me getting all facemo." "Really, would it kill you to post something like the video of two monkey's bonking on the hood of a car?"

All Acrylic Claw is a nice addition to your stretched earlobe piercing. These claws are available in many different colors so you can choose your favorite.
The best thing about this jewelry piece is that is can change color. It can even glow under blacklights commonly used in most clubs.
These acrylic claws are very handy when you need to go through the airport without setting off metal detectors. They are useful in any situation when you can't use metal jewelry.
While these claws are regular jewelry pieces you can wear anytime for their attractive look or their light weight, they are also often used as temporary replacements for your regular jewelry whenever you can't wear metal jewelry, such as during hospital tests (MRIs, mammograms, cat scans, etc.)

When my husband and I found out we were pregnant and expecting a baby suddenly a whole new world of tasks crashed upon our delighted but somewhat unprepared heads. Novices that we were, it took friends and books to tell us what we need to do, and we've received lists. Lists from doctors, lists from friends, lists from family, lists for family -- Suddenly inundated with tasks ranging from monthly checkups, ultrasound scheduling, who to tell when, when to do what blood work, which hospital schedules tours how much in advanced, what to buy for babies when (they apparently don't come with accessories, who knew?), etc , A whole new world indeed.Overwhelmed, I turned back to my old friend RTM, where I could enter these tasks for myself with what I am told are appropriate due dates and of course lists, and tags. There is now a new list called "BabyPrep". Vitamin refills are tagged with #pharmacy and the dates of the prescriptions or according to when the pills will run out, bloodwork got its own tag, schedule hospital tours is down under #appt as is making future doctors appointments and checking out birthing class options. And every time someone gives me a list -- like things to buy before baby comes or the items suggested get entered under #tobuytent if it's an item I'm not sure about or #tobuy if it's an item I'm sure we need. Last is reading, and baby book recommendations get filed under my old standby tag #toread. There's more, but that's the idea.My tags for this are still under construction, It's a new adventure. But I'm grateful that RTM is here to hold my hand along the way.

Ciao GIGI
View photo details
December 31, 2012
by Magnum Group
I cannot find the words that describe the profound sorrow I feel in my heart since I lost my dear friend Gigi. Founder and owner of Trolley Books.
He was a one of a kind force of nature unlike any person I have ever met in my life and the life of all other friend of mine in Magnum.
In moments of doubt, I would ask myself: What would Gigi do?
The enormous archive of crazy, emotional, happy and sometimes dangerous moments we shared are memories that will never leave me. What a guy he was! A brilliant man, daring enough to live his life the way he did, with a lot of passion, conviction and loads of fun. I am so glad that he lived the way he did, what a beautiful life he had.
He touched the hearts of the many people he met and especially the photographers who he had the courage to give a voice when nobody else would. What would we have done without Gigi...
Thank you Gigi for devoting your life to this beautiful passion you had.
Besides his truly integrative vision and passion to tell the untold stories, his ability to party, and captivate the people he interacted with, he was also an incredibly good swimmer.
Here are some of the moments we shared with this crazy guy, this fantastic, fun loving, everything but ordinary man that I am proud to call a friend. we are grateful he enriched our life with his existence.
We will miss you Gigi.
