Dallas Prince Sterling Silver 2.25" Multi Gemstone Tassel Drop Earrings
You'll want to shimmy and shake in these fun-loving tassel drops! Crafted from polished rhodium plated sterling silver, each earring has been strung with various faceted 2-3mm black hematite beads. Adding drama to each earring are three round cut 1.5mm white sapphires in bead settings, while a round cut 2.5mm London blue topaz stone, set in a bezel, shines at the top of the tassel.
Delicate fleur-de-lis designs and a satin finish complete the look. The total sapphire weight is 0.12ct and the total London blue topaz weight is 0.30ct (both approximate). Measuring 2-5/16"L x 9/16"W, the earrings secure with butterfly backs.
Complete the look with the matching necklace J410361.

Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.
Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Hematite gets its name from the Greek word meaning "blood-like" because of the red color of its powder. American Indians used to crush hematite and mix it with animal fat to produce red and brown paint for their artwork and bodies. Interestingly, red hematite is essentially rust. Its reddish brown and orange colors appear when its high iron content comes into contact with water and oxygen. But when the stone is smooth and polished, hematite features a beautiful steel gray color with a metallic and earthy luster. It is this exquisite gray color that is most often used in jewelry.
Although both red and gray hematite is common on Earth, it also occurs everywhere on Mars, making it responsible for the planet's distinctive red color. The reddish landscape of Mars is due to the oxidized iron on its surface, proving that water and oxygen must have been present on the Red Planet at one time. In 2004, NASA's Mars rover Opportunity discovered small spheres believed to be made partly or mostly of hematite, proving that Mars was once a wetter world long ago.
Grey hematite usually forms over long periods of time in the presence of liquid water. It is typically found in layers at the bottom of standing water, such as lakes or mineral hot springs. Hematite can also occur as the result of volcanic activity. While England is the best-known supplier, hematite is also found in Germany, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Brazil, New Zealand and the United States.
Hematite is the most important source of iron ore in the world, which leads to the production of steel, and is therefore vital to the economy of major countries. Because of its high iron content, hematite has magnetic attraction. It is often fashioned into carvings, cameos, intaglios and beads and ranks a hardness of 5.0-6.5 on the Mohs Scale.
It was once believed that large deposits of hematite were formed in places where battles had been fought. The subsequent blood that flowed into the ground was thought to turn into the stone. Hematite is a symbol for the Roman god of war and is thought to be a stone of protection, a belief originating from the Roman belief that it could strengthen warriors going into battle. Ancient warriors even used to rub their bodies with hematite believing it would protect them.
Since the silvery-gray stones can be polished to such a high sheen, they were long ago used as mirrors. Because of this reflective quality, it is believed today to help deflect the emotions of others. It is said to deepen the connection between spirit and body while balancing yin/yang energies and emotions. Folklore also says that hematite can transform and dissolve negativity. It is considered an excellent "worry stone" with emotional grounding properties that calm the mind and clear it of stress. Hematite is also thought to be a "lawyer's stone" that brings positive judgments and helps one remain true to his or her inner self.

Tiebreaker ProceduresEffective June 2014
The following procedure will determine the Big 12 Conference representative to the Sugar Bowl (or alternate College Football Playoff game when the Sugar Bowl is a semifinal) in the event of a first-place or alternate place tie (for the avoidance of doubt, only Conference records will be used throughout the process):
- If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
- If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 4 will be followed until a determination is made. Once a team has been eliminated from a multi-team comparison, it is dropped from further comparisons. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
- The records of the three teams will be compared against each other
- The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed team(s) in the conference (4, 5 and 6….).
- The highest ranked team in the first College Football Playoff poll following the completion of Big 12 regular season conference play shall be the representative unless the two highest ranked tied teams are ranked within one spot of the other in the College Football Playoff poll. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the College Football Playoff.
- The representative will be chosen by draw.

It will be interesting to see what happens next with the Panama City Rescue Mission.
Whether feeling pressure from city government and nearby residents, from those who fund the mission or about his paycheck, mission director the Rev. Billy Fox and his crew are making changes after years of debate.
Most notably, as reported by The News Herald's Valerie Garman in Friday's edition, the "center no longer will serve as a shelter for the homeless during the day, but will instead serve as a 'support service center' for those seeking to change their lives, according to mission communications manager Taylor Muma."
"We're trying to refocus on the pathways of life change," Muma said in the story. "There are people who are choosing a vagrant lifestyle; we're choosing to focus on people who want to make a life change happen."
That's great news. One of the big knocks against the Rescue Mission has been that it had turned into a magnet not for people who have hit a bad patch and are looking to turn it around, but for those who have no intention of doing better short of winning the lottery or who continue to make choices that put them where they are.
But like most issues involving humans, there is nothing simple about this. It involves emotion and economics, quality of living and the right to have a quality life, private property rights versus government involvement. It makes us examine our basic moral beliefs toward other humans.
It is easy to vilify the mission at a cocktail party or barbecue, to decry the "leeches" with comments that they are too lazy to work and looking for handouts. It's easier if you are with a receptive or like-minded crowd, and you don't have to put your name to it outside of that group.
It is just as easy to canonize the mission at a fundraiser or a trip to Shell Island with friends, praising the mission's outreach, its desire to put food into the empty bellies of those "poor people" and provide them shelter on cold nights.
Philosophically, for some of those who oppose the mission doing what it does at its current location, there is that battle between how involved government should get. I have good friends on both sides of the mission issue. My experience has been that my friends who want the mission to move or at least curtail its current activities tend to be a conservative lot. Those who support the mission are more liberal.
So those who oppose it who I know also tend to oppose too much government interference … but in this case they seem OK with government sending Fox on down the road. That doesn't make it wrong and it doesn't make them hypocrites. It makes them human.
It is an issue that continues to tear at me. I want people to get help when they need it. But I don't want to help those who won't try to help themselves if they're capable of doing so. I think the overall "mission" of the mission is worthwhile, necessary and a true gift to local governments that otherwise would have to deal with the problem.
Fox is privately funded, so what he makes is a moot point. Even those doing God's work have bills, and he has bosses who determine what that compensation ought to be.
I don't like to see government force any private landowner to change the use of his property or move. But I don't like what has become of the area around the mission. I cannot think of another residential area where one single entity — that could be moved — would cause me not to even consider living near it, and I don't think that area will ever improve while the mission is there in its current capacity.
If you're starting to think, "Caz has no idea what to do," you are right.
But here's what I believe: For the first time in a long time there is progress on an issue that has been around for decades. I believe that is a direct result of a focused Panama City government via its task force appointed by Mayor Greg Brudnicki. It may have failed to "move" the mission, but it's apparent to me they have gotten Fox's attention.
The task force should continue, as should the pressure. Not pressure to "move" the mission, but pressure to resolve this issue. For downtown Panama City to ever regain its status and again become a beacon, that has to happen.

Ann Arbor is full of culture, especially on Main Street. On any given night, you may see street performers, watch a good movie at the theater, or dine at one of the upscale restaurants. There are over 2,000 student organizations on campus. I am involved with pops orchestra, South Quad hall council, research, and AIV Christian Fellowship, and the balance and variety of activities has really helped me enjoy my time here.Read More

text: Christian was a better fit in TNA. Matt Hardy and Chavo Guerrero will have good back stories to get them there and they could really use the changing enviornment. Someone who has not been mentioned....Kane. I think he would be a great other monster character there to battle Abyss. TNA could give him a name change and use him in a way like they tried to do with Rellik, except as a fan favorite. Kane could use the fresh and new competition.

Guy Perkins checking in.
Ok, yeah I like to fish. Love it in fact. But this year the water has been pretty ugly. Even the reservoirs are dirty. Not to mention the fact that the over abundance of snow has kept me out of hunting turkey in the high country that I like to do so much. I think I like just being up there, and alone. And it is a good excuse for exercising the ticker. Last week I

There's nothing more that I look forward to than spending time outdoors with my family in the hills and on the lakes and rivers of western Montana. I can still remember clearly times from my own childhood exploring creeks and backyards with my younger brother, and I can only hope that my daughter will inherit the same sense of adventure I had.

"'Super 8' 'Two Jews On Film' Agree (Sort Of) This SciFi Coming Of Age Story Comes Up Short (Video)"
What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Abrams has refused to reveal the plot of the film as he wants to keep it a mystery and let the images speak for themselves.[citation needed] What has been confirmed is that it will take place in 1979 and it will be a homage/tribute to Spielberg's '70s and '80s science fiction films with a mystery and supernatural feel from Abrams.
Abrams revealed the plot will follow a group of children in the 1970s as they film a movie with a Super 8 camera but while they are filming, they spot an alien escape from an Area 51 cargo train and it runs loose in their small town.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_8_(film)

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

FIRST looking for VEX replacement
" it's unlikely that FTC will use the Vex kits in next year's competition"
I was surprised to see this comment in yesterday's announcement from US FIRST.
Does anyone know why FIRST is thinking about ditching VEX?
5 comments:
- Jim Kelly said...
I don't know much about VEX, but I have heard from others that the older kit(green) had parts that wore out quickly and that assemblies were sometimes very "rickety" and "wobbly" - I know that the product is being re-released by Revell as a "red" kit, so maybe they've addressed some of the problems.
Also, pricing of the kit is higher than NXT and you have to buy the software separately and most of the popular add-ons are a little pricey, too.
- Aug 3, 2007, 10:06:00 PM

Pricey? Try downright expensive!
I bought a VEX kit off ebay (brand new, but a good price). You can't program it. You have to purchase the programming kit.
You know what the programming kit is? A connector cable and a CD. You know how much it costs? $99 (plus shipping).
Throw the other items on top of that, and it gets expensive. Plus, you need 14 AA batteries to run it (8 for the remote, 6 for the "brain box"). Yes, you can buy a power pack for it, but that costs you yet more money.
I am seriously considering selling my VEX kit and buying more LEGO stuff.

When I said "pricey", I was just being nice. Yes, it's a more expensive hobby kit and the fact that the software costs 99 and isn't included is a real shame and crime.
- Aug 4, 2007, 2:58:00 AM
VEX parts suck. Cheap materials sold at exorbitant prices. For a nice sturdy prototyping solution check out Compact Technik's Automat system.

I agree that the VEX robot is very expensive and the main kit is incomplete. I got my VEX when Radio Shack put them on clearance and when kits and accessories where at least 50 percent off. Even after buying the programming kit, I found many programming functions were not included but the programming kit could be upgraded for more money.
I bought the VEX to learn about micro controllers and get experience using servos. The VEX gears fit with Lego gears and I have built combination Robot using Lego and VEX when I wanted a remote controlled robot. The size of the VEX and some of its accessories were other reasons I bought it. The omni directional wheels, larger wheels and tank tracks are nice for robots which are used outside.
Overall, the Mindstorms product is superior in my opinion and robots can be built and programmed much quicker than using the Vex system.
I hope we learn why the Vex is going to be dropped.

Tests and reviews for the lens Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
Measurements and specifications
Further readings for the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
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.
Following on from the lens recommendations for the earlier full-frame Nikon D600, we've now had the opportunity to assess a wide range lenses with that model's replacement, the 24-Mpix D610. We've analyzed a total of 95 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models with the D610 to assess image quality, and we've come across some unexpected results. Read onto find out more about that and which lenses perform best when paired with the camera.
This is the second part of our lens recommendations for the Nikon D7100 where we've analyzed nearly 60 Nikkor and third-party standard and portrait prime and zoom models to assess their optical quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses are the best performers when paired with Nikon's ultra-high resolution 24-Mpix APS-C format semi-pro model.
Following on from our series of selecting the best lenses for the Nikon D800 with its potential for massively detailed images from the 36Mpix sensor, we've now turned our attention to that camera's younger sibling, the 24Mpix D600.
Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD (Nikon) review: An affordable 'fast' standard zoom that comes out on top
Launched in February 2012 the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD is a 'fast' standard zoom available in Nikon, Sony and Canon lens mounts. On full frame DSLRs its wide-angle through to short telephoto focal range is ideal for general use photography, and featuring Tamron's VC image stabilisation system, as well as a fixed f/2.8 maximum aperture, its low-light credentials are pretty hot, too.
Nikon Nikkor AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED review: A very impressive ultra-wide performer on the Nikon D800?
Introduced in 2007 alongside the AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED and Nikon's first full-frame DSLR – the 12-megapixel Nikon D3 – this lens was a first of its kind and set new standards for image quality for ultra-wide angle lenses. How does this lens perform on demanding high-resolution bodies, such as the 36-MPix Nikon D800? DxOMark has the answer.
Announced in 2012, the Nikon D800 is the current undisputed king of DxOMark, with results that eclipse every other camera from all other manufacturers. However, with so much resolution on tap, the question is, which lenses should you use to make the best of what you've got? The DxOMark labs have tested 61 different lenses on the D800 to bring you an unparalleled resource of which lenses are best and which should be avoided. To make it easy to follow, we have broken the reviews down into sections so you can concentrate on the lenses that are important to you. This first section will give you an overview of the D800. We will follow this with a review of the standard focal length lenses, then the telephoto lenses and super-zooms and finally there will be a wide-angle review.
Announced in February 2012, the Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 lens Di VC USD is the latest full-frame, fast aperture standard zoom from the Saitama, Japan-based optical firm and is the first of its type to add VC (Vibration Control) image stabilization. Costing $1299 and available in Canon, Nikon and Sony fittings (the latter albeit without VC) and featuring USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) technology, it's an obvious alternative to the pricier offerings from the top-names. Could this lens be a contender in the IQ stakes? Read on to find out.
Introduced in February 2012, the EF24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is the long-awaited update to Canon's pro-grade standard zoom and replaces the highly regarded EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM. Designed with the objective of improving image quality and providing greater durability for daily use with digital cameras, it has a completely revised optical design as well as an enhanced mechanical construction. As full-frame lens, it's compatible with the firm's full range of DSLRs including 1.6 (APS-C) and older APS-H (1.3x crop) DSLRs making it an attractive choice to a wide of range users. However, at around $2,500 it's not likely to be a casual purchase.
What to know about these lenses:
Tamron SP AF 28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical [IF] tested on Canon and Nikon mount.
Launched in 2003, this lens is still a very good choice if you are looking for a cheap standard zoom lens. See the comparisons against famous competitors: Tamron SP AF 28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical [IF] Nikon Vs Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Vs Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED, here.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED bad Chr aberration results
Nikon explained to me that the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED was made of a very special glass to reduce Chr. aberration to a minimum. Any idea why the Chr. aberration is especially bad with this lens?
Added by eireann | May 13 , 2012
Chromatic aberration
After using this lens for a while I noticed the Chromatic aberration is specifically bad with this lens. Opening the raw files with Adobe camera raw i get easily visible green shadows on the right of dark objects and red ones on the left.

You can never go wrong by putting iconic rally stripes on your Camaro. The only problem is everyone else has the same idea and it's easy for your car to become lost in the crowd. When Bret Voelkel of Air Ride Technologies decided to build a killer first-gen Camaro−one to replace the one pilfered a year ago−he didn't want it to blend into the scenery. Instead, he wanted the car to be emblazoned with unique touches to make it stand out from the rest. One of his ideas was to do something a wee bit different with the "same old, same old" rally stripes.
Last year, the crew at Precision Coachworks, a hot rod building company also owned by Bret, built a killer '70 Chevelle as the Goodguy's giveaway car which incorporated bare-metal stripes. The stripes were a hit on the Chevelle and with everyone who saw it in person, so he and the the crew at Precision decided to try them out on their new '68 Camaro.
The most important step is starting with a good foundation. Since the stripes will be bare metal, there's no way to hide bodywork or repairs. Also, of paramount importance, is to have the right tools and correct materials on hand. So, if you want to try something different on your Camaro, read along and see how Precision Coachworks nailed down a killer look that's slightly off the beaten path.

Columbus Iverson Philyaw
According to North Carolina Marriages, 1759-1979, Columbus married Hanna J. Vance on Aug. 2, 1888 in Johns River Twp., Caldwell Co., NC. That record names her parents as Wesley and Elizabeth Vance.
Hannah was born in Jul., 1873 in NC and died May 5, 1915 in Collettsville, Johns River Twp., Caldwell Co. She died on May 4, 1915 in Globe Twp. and, her death certificate names her parents as John Hicks, a native of Tow River Twp. in Avery Co., and Betty Vance, a native of Mitchell Co., NC.
The part about her parents is a bit confusing to me. Those who know which is accurate are invited to contact me.
There were at least 11 children born to this couple, a few of whom married into the Coffey family:
Edward W, born Apr., 1891, married Etta Baker on Nov. 28, 1920 at Mortimer, Wilson Creek Twp., Caldwell Co. They were in the 1930 census at Mortimer and there were no children in the household. Death records have not been found.
Martha Elizabeth, born Jan., 1893, married John S. Crisp on Aug. 4, 1912 in Johns River Twp., Caldwell Co. John was born Jul. 4, 1888 in NC and died in John River Twp. on Nov. 7, 1936. I have not found another marriage record or a death record for Martha. They had at least six children: Loucile [sic]; Joseph; Morris; Forest Columbus; Jewel; and John Vernon. John is buried at the Crisp Family Cemetery at Collettsville. Martha is probably there as well but I have found no record of her death.
Margaret A. "Maggie," born May 1895 in Caldwell Co., died there in Feb., 1977. She married William Pope on Dec. 18, 1914 in Globe Twp. Their children were at least five: May E.; Fred W.; Arlie T.; Hannah; and Wayne G. Margaret is buried at Rocky Springs Baptist Church Cemetery in Collettsville. William is probably buried there as well but I have found no record of his death.
Gideon Fred, born Sep. 20, 1897 in Caldwell Co., died in Morganton, Burke Co. on Nov. 24, 1970. He married Ida Jane Coffey, a daughter of Finley Carroll and Connie Rebecca Tolbert. Ida was born in Caldwell Co. on Aug. 6, 1902 and died Nov. 16, 1972 in Valdese, Burke Co. Their children were at least six: Leona Mae; Connie; Louise; Lucille; Noma [sic]; and Ransom (?). Gideon and Ida are buried at the Tolbert Family Cemetery in Mortimer.
Daniel Wesley, born Dec. 21, 1899, died in Lenoir on Jan. 22, 1981. He married Emma Rich on Nov. 21, 1920 in Wilson Creek Twp., she the daughter of John Robert and Sarah Cordelia Taylor Rich, and born c1905. Her death record has not been found. His burial place is not known to me. Their children were at least four: Lois, Edith, Coleen and Margaret.
Oscar R., born c1903. No other information.
Rooney N. was the name of the child who occupied this place in the birth order in 1910. She was age 5. In 1920 her name appears to be Veller, and in 1930 her name was Velma. Velma is said to have married Arvil Harden Coffey but, I have not found a marriage record. She died on Apr. 20, 1993 in Caldwell Co., and was buried at White Springs Cemetery in Blowing Rock. Arvil, born Jul. 12, 1914 to George Wiley and Ida Belle Norman Coffey, died Aug. 25, 1987 and is also at White Springs. I have not located them in the 1930 census and have no children for them.
Dewey George, born Feb. 10, 1907, probably in Caldwell Co., married Lucy Mae Coffey, sister to Ida Jane who married Dewey's brother Gideon. They were married on Jun. 19,1828 in Lenoir and had at least three children: Claude Wilson; Ma Gene and Sherl [sic] Allen. Dewey died Apr., 1980 and Lucy on Mar. 23, 1985 in Lincolnton, Lincoln Co., NC. Dewey is buried at the Tolbert Family Cemetery in Upton, Caldwell Co. Lucy is probably there as well.
Arley A., born c1909. No other information. I wonder if his name was Early or Orlie?
Torrance Iverson, born 1911, died Dec. 24, 1966 at Black Mountain in Buncombe Co. He married Cora Lee Shoe, daughter of Mansfield Hoover and Hattie Mae Belle Shoe. She was born Oct. 25, 1920 in NC and tied in Newton, Catawba Co. on Oct. 15, 2011. Both are buried at Rocky Springs Baptist Church Cemetery in Collettsville. I have no children for them.
The last child known to me to be born to Columbus and Hannah was Irene, c1914. She married Ira Roosevelt Bristol, a son of James Greenberry "Jim" and Elsie Jane Bell(e), on Oct. 30, 1934 in Caldwell Co. Ira was born May 11, 1911 in NC and died in Valdese on Feb. 22, 1969. He is buried at the Bristol Family Cemetery at Collettsville. Irene died on Nov. 4, 2002 in Blowing Rock and is probably also buried at the family cemetery.
In just a few days the 1940 census will available and I will hopefully, be able to expand my research on all of the NC Coffey and allied families.

I have just setup dual monitors. One is a full HD 23 inch LED monitor. The other one is a 19 inch LCD monitor. Both are powered by the same VGA. No spliter. The 23 inch display is powered by HDMI and the other one use the normal analogue out. My questions are...
- Is this a good setup?
- Can it decrease performance?
- Will the 19 inch LCD display effect the whole video output? (low quality)

As we know, the price of gold varies every day. Gold prices change related to supply and demand. Gold is one of the most precious and expensive metals available on the earth. The luster, smooth finish, easy to mold, delicate texture, etc. makes it a worthy metal and all time favorite of most of the people. If we go back to trace the history of gold, we will find that it had been used for thousand years. It is believed to have been discovered even before the most used and popular metal like copper and iron. Gold was believed to be first found by Egyptians and Greeks, and it was believed to have been discovered some 3100 years ago. Due to its brilliant yellow color Incas called "tears of the sun" whereas others mentioned it to be an important sign of the wealth. Few of its characteristics are mentioned below which made it a brilliant metal for use over centuries.
When gold was discovered it was found that it existed in the pure state, which means it was not found in ores. Hence, the people did not have to undergo the rigorous process of extraction of metal from ores. This made it a more popular and expensive metal. Also, it could be molded, casted and drawn into wires and sheets easily so jewelry and coins could be easily made. Also, it was resistant to corrosion hence it was durable and remained for a long time. It does not lose its shine, property and value even when exposed to moisture, temperature, and corrosive acids. Because of all these properties early people connected it to God and gave it a special position. They made idols, coins articles and temples of gold.
Early civilization believed that the gold is pure and never gets corroded. They worshiped their rulers like God hence engraved the names or figures of their rules on the gold coin as a symbol of purity, power, glory, beauty and value. In the excavation found in Turkey, the gold ornaments and jewelry have great traditional designs that are heavy as well. Gold mines can be located nearly all over the globe. Hence in order get more and more gold war prisoners, criminals of jail or slaves were put to mining work. Gold can be related to water as most of it is found in or near the water bodies and in Polar Regions as well.
The great stories of gold and its origin can be traced in testaments of ancient Greece and China. Different stories and fables prevail in the world regarding gold, and Midas Touch is one of them which every child must have heard of. Currently China and USA are the major producers of gold. Today gold plays an important in the economy of a country and the financial status of an individual. Apart from jewelry it is also used as hard cash and something that can be passed on from generations to generations. Gold also finds applications in the field of medicine, electronics, non-electronic field, chemistry for commercial purposes and in food as well.

- BEST EVER! Review by Kimberly
Quality Value Price
It is an amazing concealer--not cakey at all! It is so wonderful because it covers even the most problematic skin. I would recommend this product to everyone! In fact, I have all my friends using this concealer and they also refuse to use anything else.

- You'll get hooked Review by Rees
Quality Value Price
I have been using this concealer for about 4 or 5 years now. There is no way I would even consider using another product. It is honestly the best concealer I have ever tried. My dermotologist reccomended it, so I know its good for my skin and it literally makes blemishes disappear. I have struggled with acne off and on for years but I know as long as I have my camouflage, I will look great! Whenever I'm having a really bad breakout, I top my camouflage with the pressed powder and it makes it that much more blended in with my skin. I gave an extra container I had to my roommate and now shes hooked too. Each container usually lasts me about 2.5 months, I apply it to my entire face and a little extra on my problem spots, using a makeup wedge. I change wedges every week. You need to try this product, especially if you have acne. You will be amazed!

- Fantastic Concealer - Best I've ever used Review by Christy
Quality Value Price
This is the most fantastic concealer I've ever used. It truly camouflages acne scarring & discoloration and helps even out my skin. Goes on like a dream with a brush. Expensive, but you get what you pay for and this is worth the money.

- Best Concealer Money Can Buy Review by Kelsey
Quality Value Price
This concealer is amazing and i have been using it for a few years now. I had ance, blemishes and dark circles. Overall, glominerals totally cleared up my skin and made it 100 times more luminous. This concealer however completely camoflaged my blemishes and dark circles. Its extremely easy to use and i used to put it on with my finger but now i use a brush, but either way it is amazing. It is perfect for anyone and i reccomend it to everyone. For the blemishes or pimples i reccomend putting a little more on the bottom of the pimple instead of the upper part to help the light refract it and its instantly gone. I've used so many concealers and foundations and this is THE ONE for everyone. There is no downside to using this product and it is perfect for whatever type of skin. It is the must-have and once you try it, you will be stuck for life!

Here in more detail:
Ars, artis feminine = Art (as in a work of art)
eniti, enitor, enixus sum = to bring forth (enixa because ars is feminine, est because it's thrid person singular); enixus sum/ enixa est is (roughly) present perfect.
candela, ae, f.`= candle (candelam because it is accusative case and eniti is a transitive verb)
cabbagehead wrote:By this point of his writing Terry already had Arthur changing into a bat (and fearing the owls) and Greebo eating a vampire in bat form. Sally sees the changing into a swarm of bats a disadvantage that only females have to deal with. I bet she'd rather change into mist if that were an option. Looks like the mist option (which I don't remember, sorry) is a talent of the de Magpyrs - they are over-achieving vampires, what with their training to immunize them against religious symbols.
Mary Skater wrote:I've just reread FoC. I remember being confused before by the sequence of events during the fight with the white golem, specifically what happed to Carrot. I've had another go at it, but I'm still not clear.
Carry fires the crossbow. Carrot gets the bolt through his left hand. The impact knocks him down. Carrot won't let Angua pull the bolt out because it has a silver point.
Cheri distracts the golem. Angua pulls Carrot out of the way and hauls him to his feet, blood dripping from his hand.
Carrot drew his sword. (Does he still have the arrow through his left hand? Usually you'd want the left to steady the scabbard while you draw with the right, but okay, maybe you can draw one-handed.) The golem knocks the sword away.
Dorfl distracts the white golem. Carrot gets a long metal rod from a stirring tank. (I was initially confused by the phrased "eased himself back down to the grease-crusted floor," as it seemed to mean he lay down. Eventually realised he must have had to climb up to the stirring tank, and was now back standing on the floor.)
As the white golem approaches, "Carrot hopped backwards, steadied himself on a rail, and swung." Why hopped? Does he have a bad leg? First I've heard of it. I think we can assume he has by now got rid of the crossbow bolt through his hand, although it hasn't been mentioned.
Carrot has a plan. We next see him climbing along the overhead gantry. He jumps on to the white golem's back, then off to the floor when Vimes and Detritus arrive. "He landed awkwardly on a sliding heap of candles. His leg buckled under him.." There's that bad leg again. Or did he just get hurt by the slide? Carrot is usually tougher than that. When the white golem comes for him, he "squirms" away and later "struggles up". Suggests to me a leg injury rather than a hand injury.
Carrot and Detritus carry away Dorfl's remains. Okay, maybe Detritus did most of the work. No further mention of injuries.
Maybe I'm just being thick, but it reads to me like a scene that was written in two different versions, and the "merge" wasn't done too carefully. Does anyone else have problems with it, or is it all obvious to everybody but me?

Clowns spread in cultures of any time and place, because they meet some deeply rooted needs in humanity: violation of taboos, the mockery of sacred and profane authorities and symbols, reversal of language and action, and a ubiquitous obscenity. An interesting example can be found in the Native American clown societies.
Clowning is a form of entertainment that has appeared in some manner in virtually every culture. In most cultures the clown is a ritual character associated with festival or rites of passage and is often very different from the most popular western form. In Europe, up until as late as the 19th century the clown was a typical everyday character, and often appeared in carnivals. The performance is symbolic of liminality - being outside the rules of regular society the clown is able to subvert the normal order, and this basic premise is contemporarily used by many activists to point out social absurdity.
During the 16th century the Commedia dell'arte also became a huge influence on perceptions of the clown in Europe, an influence which passed through pantomime, into vaudeville and on to the touring circuses of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Commedia took influences from the grotesque masked clowns of carnivals and mystery plays, and began in market places as a way to sell vegetables. It became incredibly popular throughout Europe amongst both the general public and the courts. The stock characters of the commedia originally included the Zanni - peasant clowns, Pantalone, the old Miser and Il Dottore - The Banal Doctor, and then grew from there to incorporate the Lovers, Arlecchino, Pedrolino and Brighella, who have survived into the twentieth century in one form or another.
Some circus examples include Pipo Sossman, François Fratellini (the Fratellini family), Felix Adler, Paul Jung, Harry Dann, Chuck Burnes, Albert White, Ernie Burch, Bobby Kaye, Jack and Jackie LeClaire, Joe and Chester Sherman, Keith Crary, Charlie Bell, Tim Tegge, Kenny Dodd, Frankie Saluto, Tammy Parrish, Pennywise, David Konyot (Circus Barum and The Toni Alexis trio) and Prince Paul Albert.
The character clown makeup is a comic slant on the standard human face. Their makeup starts with a flesh tone base and may make use of anything from glasses, mustaches and beards to freckles, warts, big ears or strange haircuts.
Some circus examples include Barry Lubin, Tom Dougherty, Bill Irwin, David Shiner, Geoff Hoyle, John Gilkey, Peter Shub, Poodles Hanneford, Bluch Landolf, Larry Pisoni, John Lepiarz, Bobo Barnett, Happy Kellams, Fumagalli, Charlie Cairoli, Bebe, Jojo Lewis, Abe Goldstein, Rhum, David Larible, Kenny Raskin, Oleg Popov, Rik Gern and Bello Nock.
The Ringmaster relationship is the addition of an ur-manipulator, or ur-victim to this chemistry. This often takes the form of a mutual enemy or nemesis. An example of this situation might be as follows:
A husband comes home late, he's drunk, and has a collar covered in lipstick. His wife wants to know where he's been, and a manipulator-victim relationship occurs. Suddenly their child enters the scene, and the dynamic changes in an attempt to avoid traumatizing him/her. The child wants to know why there's a strange man in their bedroom, and the manipulator-victim dymnamic shifts during the next argument. Then it turns out that the child has constructed this elaborate ruse in order to steal cookies and watch late-night TV without notice, giving him ur-manipulator status.
This is an example of a ringmaster situation. Clowns in the ringmaster position are often character clowns, where Joey and Auguste duos are typically made up of a Whiteface Clown and an Auguste.
In this tradition, masks are made of clay while the creator's eyes are closed. A mask is made for each direction of the medicine wheel. During this process, the clown creates a personal mythology which explores his or her personal Experiences and Innocenses.
Shows are the overall production that a clown is a part of, it may or may not include elements other than clowning, such as in a circus show. In a circus context, clown shows are typically made up of some combination of Entrées, Side dishes, Clown Stops, Track Gags, Gags and bits.
Side dishes are shorter feature acts. Side dishes are essentially shorter versions of the Entrée, typically lasting 1 - 3 minutes. Side dishes are typically made up of various gags and bits, and usually use a clowning framework. Side dishes almost always end with a blow-off.
There are lots of amateurs practicing clowning skills and appearance. Improvisation and imitations of famous clowns are common for amateur clowns. A piece of artistic sense can sometimes be found even in children animators. It is not too expensive for an amateur clown to lease a costume, and even home makeup (except for the white color) will create an attractive effect for the spectators.
Private costume parties usually have at least one amateur clown present at the event and, even with a few cheap clown tricks, there are always plenty of joyful receptions for the character.
Some people find clowns disturbing rather than amusing. It is not uncommon for children to be afraid of disguised, exaggerated, or costumed figures — even Santa Claus. Ute myths feature a cannibalistic clown monster called the Siats.
Clown costumes tend to exaggerate the facial features and some body parts, such as hands and feet. This can be read as monstrous or deformed as easily as it can be read as comical.
The fear of clowns is known as coulrophobia. Some have suggested that a fear of clowns may stem from early childhood experience, when infants begin to process and make sense of facial features. The significant aberrations in a clown's face may frighten a child so much that they carry this phobia throughout their adult life.
It can also be said one's response to a clown might depend on where it is seen. At a circus or a party, a clown is normal and may easily be funny. The same clown knocking on one's front door at sunset is more likely to generate fear or distress than laughter or amusement. This effect is summed up in a quote often attributed to actor Lon Chaney, Sr.: "There is nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight." In the Space To Care study aimed at improving hospital design for children, researchers from the University of Sheffield polled 250 children regarding their opinions on clowns; all 250 children in the study, whose ages ranged between four and sixteen, reported that they found clowns frightening and disliked clowns as part of hospital decor.
The British arts and music festival Bestival cancelled its planned clown theme in 2006 after many adult ticketholders contacted the organizers expressing a fear of clowns.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Mississippi State is looking to find some success on the offensive side of the ball.
To do that, the Bulldogs have to start with the offensive line.
"We're going to pass the ball, (and) we're going to run the ball," MSU junior left guard Gabe Jackson said. "We've just got to manage the ball because with (Northwestern's) offense, they're fast-paced. We've got to slow the game down and play physical ball."
The Bulldogs (8-4) face off against No. 21 (Associated Press) Northwestern (9-3) today in the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. and can be seen on ESPN2.
To get the running game going, the offensive line is going to have to establish themselves up front.
"(It's) really just starting to come off the ball and setting the line of scrimmage so we can establish the run early," MSU senior right guard Tobias Smith said.
The Bulldogs only rushed for 30 yards in a 41-24 loss to rival Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl on Nov. 24, 2012 in Oxford. That has been a main issue the offensive line has been addressing in bowl practices.
"(It's about) just work on the basic things, like fundamental footwork and hand placement," Jackson said. "They've (gotten) better at it."
The lack of offensive production in the rushing game against the Rebels may have been due to missed assignments.
"It's just a lack of focus that we had," Jackson said. "We had to get back to what we're good at doing and that's working hard, being fundamentally sound and know what we're doing."
Jackson was a freshman when the Bulldogs beat Michigan 52-14 in the 2011 Gator Bowl. This time he doesn't see much difference.
"It doesn't' really seem like it was too long ago, so it just feels like it's deja vu," Jackson said. " (It's) just with different people I'm playing."
Jackson will test the National Football League waters when the season is over. His play on the field shows that and his teammates have taken notice.
"That's why (Jackson) is in the standing he's in now," Smith said. "He's a great player and has been since he's been playing."
Jackson has seen the improvement of his game since he came in as a freshman. The Bulldogs are going to need Jackson to play at the same level he has all year to get a victory.
"My pass blocking improved a lot especially since my first year playing," Jackson said. "(I'm) just working on looking at other guys, seeing what works for them, watching film on other guys to see what works, trying it out and just keep working on stuff until I found out what was my best fit."View more articles in:

Comments about Gloria Wig by Paula Young®:
The wig is so natural looking. I get so many complements. The only problem I have with the wig is it itches about 20 minutes after putting it on. I am loosing my hair and no one can tell I have a wig on so I am so pleased. I just wish it didn't itch so much. It is beautiful. It may be me and anyone else may not have the itching problem. I would recommend this wig to everyone.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good back and forth fight. Good stoppage.
Good back and forth fight. Good stoppage.
Looking forward to Caldwell vs Newell. Haven't seen Keon a lot.
Wow, on the ground, no guard, and still got the choke.
crazy shit
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.
-Sam Rockwell
When this did become a bit much?
Card has been solid tonight
That dude's leg is fucked!
Good night of fun fights
Tyrone Spong was not even nearly impressive as everyone expected. He ate a lot of punches from De Anda and basically just used leg kicks the whole fight.
He may win against these unknown guys, but he will need more than only leg kicks to beat the Top fighters.
I personally expected a better performance considering who was his opponent and also that he is one of the best kickboxers in the world and that his opponent.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff

Over the last few months, Long Island has been more than generous to SUPER CHEVY magazine, puking out a wide assortment of 1,000-point hot rods-no two the same, but all equally deserving of attention.
Though it's only 33 or so miles from our humble office in the great state of New Jersey, a trip to "The Island" takes anywhere from two to six hours, depending on whether the Long Island Expressway is at a snail's pace, or completely stopped (the only two choices you get, no matter what time of day it is).
In our August issue, we featured a beautiful IROC belonging to Harold Caron, who apparently doesn't ride alone. He introduced us to his posse of Pro Street colleagues, one of whom, according to Caron, "has the baddest of the bad '70 Chevelle on the planet."
We took a peek at said Chevelle between the raindrops at Atco Raceway and found out that Harold was not exaggerating. It could indeed be the baddest of the bad, no doubt about it. Tubbed out and packed with a 632ci big-block on nitrous, the 3,980-pounder hits harder than a freight train and gives new meaning to the term, "bad in black."
This '70 Chevelle, owned by Keith Seaman, is a tribute to his late father, who instilled in him a passion for cars and their ability to exude emotion inherent in a job well done.
"Driving through the Good Guys Show in Ohio with my dad was the greatest experience in the world," Keith said. "Six months later, he unfortunately passed away of cancer. It was the only time he was in the car, but the short time we spent in it was the best it could possibly be."
Over the years, Keith and his pops spent time tooling on whatever they could get their hands on, and Keith is grateful for the tutelage.
Built by Big Sal Race Engines in Centereach, New York, the monster under the hood provides stump-pulling torque and over 940 hp without even going near the nitrous switch. Sitting atop an internally balanced 10:1 steel short-block is a set of aluminum Brodix cylinder heads flowing well over 300cfm all through the power band and sucking more than enough air flow that a 632ci engine demands. The valvetrain consists of a custom-grind Comp Cams camshaft, Crane roller lifters, and custom roller rockers.
Rounding out the power plant is a Brodix aluminum intake manifold, QuickFuel Technology 1,250-cfm carburetor, and 21/4-inch stainless steel headers.
Keith recently received his license and chassis certification, allowing him to run this baby full bore. Without the nitrous, he was able to walk her to a 9.80 at over 138 mph, but he expects mid-8s in the near future after getting comfortable in the wheelman's chair.

Tooth Fairy Barbie® Doll
As the sun sets and day melts into night, fairies fly high above the earth and hang stars in the sky to light their way. One fairy in particular has a very big job — collecting lost baby teeth and leaving coins or small gifts in their place! Inspired by the innocence of youth, designer Sharon Zuckerman creates the enchanting Tooth Fairy Barbie® doll, dressed in an ethereal gown with iridescent accents. A beautiful keepsake pouch is included — perfect for holding a first lost baby tooth!
For ages 6 and over.
