Saturday's race has plenty of fast entrants, but a hilly course will offer a challenge for runners.
The marathon will include the 45 bands lining the route.
The course, however, might be remembered for the bumps along the way.
The inaugural Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Marathon today will include ups and downs. Quite a few of them, in fact, as the route has already developed a reputation.
"It looks like it's pretty hilly," said Peter Gilmore, one of the elite entrants in the men's marathon.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Paul Allen ends KEXP's yearslong fundraising drive with $500,000 donation
- A six-pack of observations from Seahawks' OTAs: Justin Britt, Alex Collins, Tharold Simon and more
Most Read Stories
Gilmore arrived from California, and while he hadn't seen the course firsthand, he had the scouting report for the 26.2-mile course from elevation profiles. The race, which starts in Tukwila, has four different sets of hills before finishing near Qwest Field.
Nothing so steep as the famous Heartbreak Hill in Boston, but enough of an incline to make a runner take notice — not too mention a few deep breaths.
"A challenging course," said Toni Reavis, host of Elite Racing Television that will cover the event.
A first-time event presents the challenge of the unknown, which can be as puzzling for the racers as it is for anyone trying to gauge whether today's race will be run at a record-setting pace.
The field is fast, no doubt about that. In the men's half-marathon, Elijah Nyabuti of Kenya has a personal-best time of 1 hour, 1 minute, 19 seconds. Ethiopian Berhane Adere, a former world champion at 10,000 meters, is a favorite in the women's half-marathon and could challenge the women's state record.
The question is how the difficulty of the course will affect the times. The clock, however, isn't the only thing the runners will be racing.
"Hilly courses have a tendency to make great competitions," Reavis said.
The women's marathon field is led by Michele Suszek, a 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier, and Leah Thorvilson of Arkansas, who has won two marathons this year.
The men's elite marathon field includes Jynocel Basweti of Kenya, who should be recharged. He hasn't raced a marathon in the United States in almost five months.
Gilmore is another favorite. He's from San Mateo, Calif., and he was not scheduled to run in the Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Marathon. He entered a marathon in Duluth, Minn., last weekend, but pulled out early in the oppressive heat.
"I thought, 'I've got all this fitness. I should find a marathon soon,' " Gilmore said.
Gilmore's personal record in the marathon is 2:14:02. The state record for the men's marathon is 2:14:20.
So how does Gilmore feel about the course?
"My best times have come on kind of hilly courses," Gilmore said. "Personally, I don't like it, but it doesn't seem to slow me down too much."

"Getting there IS half the fun" Yarrangobilly Caves by iandsmith
Yarrangobilly Caves Travel Guide: 5 reviews and 23 photos
Situated 6.5 kms off the Snowy Mountains Highway, approximately 80 klms from Tumut, Yarrangobilly Caves is a hidden delight for those wishing to go off the beaten track and view some of the most spectacular limestone caverns in Australia.
Access to the Yarrangobilly Caves is via a one way, winding and steep, dirt road, not suitable for caravans or larger vehicles such as buses. The road can be impassable in winter due to snow, so please check for road conditions before attempting the drive. The journey into the cave area is well worth the effort as the caves are a wonderful insight into the world of limestone formations, stalactites and stalagmites, with self guided and guided tours available from 9.00am to 5.00pm daily.
Inside the caves, visitors can view nature;s glory with a host of beautiful and delicate straws, intricate shawls, columns and underground pools just waiting to show their real beauty. There are are an estimated 60 caves in the area, of which just four - South Glory Cave, North Glory Cave, Jersey Cave and Jillabenan Cave, are open to the public. Other caves can be toured by prior arrangement with Park Management.
Entrance fees are payable for all cave tours and obtainable from the Yarrangobilly Caves Information and Visitor Centre. Drinks, soft drinks, ice cream and light snacks are available, along with souvenirs and mementos. There is no cafe, so bring your own meals if you need more than potato chips and chocolate.
See my Adelong pages for where I stayed

Once you've paid to get into Kosciuszko NP there are several places you can camp for free. One is the place Yarrangobilly, not to be confused with Yarangobilly Caves.
When we camped there toilets were available and a new office and museum were being built for the NPWS.
- Pros:Some of the best formations you'll ever see; the thermal pool
- Cons:Not close to anywhere else
- In a nutshell:Worth a look

Handy Manny Party Ideas
Is your child a little Mr. or Miss Fix-It like Handy Manny? Does he or she love to hammer or saw away with toy tools? Is he or she glued to the screen when the Handy Manny program is on television? If so, your child will love a Handy Manny party. Read on for our suggestions on invitations, decorations, party favors, and more.

Handy Manny Games & Activities
Planning & Invitations
What Do I Need For the Party?
Once you've selected a location, you'll want to start thinking about what you'll need for the party. Basic party supplies include solid-colored tableware, such as plates, napkins, cups, cutlery, tablecloths, streamers, and balloons. If you want to purchase themed tableware instead of solids, consider our Handy Manny Party Supplies.
You can stick to these basics, or add other items to fit your theme. For example, for a Handy Manny birthday party, try renting or purchasing the following items:
- Plastic or rubber toy tools
- Yellow caution tape, caution cones, and construction hard hats.
- Handy Manny mylar balloons
- Handy Manny DVDs, such as "Fixing it Right"
- Manny's Tool Box, and other Handy Manny toys
- The Handy Manny soundtrack or Latino music CDs
To help you with your shopping, take a look at our Suggested Party Supply List. You may not need everything on the list, but you can use it as a guide. For additional party planning tips, our Party Planning 101 Guide includes cake ideas, party etiquette tips, a printable guest list, and more.
Handy Manny Party Invitations
Personalized invitations are fun to create and receive. If you have the time to make your own invitations, consider these ideas:
- Decorate red, blue, and green card stock with Handy Manny stickers, and write your party details in silver marker. As a variation, visit your local scrapbooking center and make die cuts of hammers, screwdrivers, saws, and the other Handy Manny tools.
- Make your invitation look like a "Help Wanted" classified ad in the newspaper. Using a word processing program, create a short ad saying something like "Help Wanted. Handy Manny and his friends seek handy helpers for [birthday child's name] birthday party." Print out the "ad," paste it on the front of card stock, and circle it in red marker. Write additional party details on the back of the card.
- Cut orange card stock into caution cones and write the party details in black marker on the back. Wrap the cone in yellow caution tape before putting it in the envelope.
- On your invitations, use creative wording such as:
"Work Notice: Handy Manny and his tools would like to request your help for a huge project on [child's name] birthday. Come to work ready to paint and build as we celebrate [child's name] big day.
Job Date:
Shift Hours:
Work Site: [your address]
Special Instructions: Please wear your work clothes and be prepared to get dirty.
If you can report to work, please call the shift supervisor, [your name], at [your phone number] so we know to expect you."
If you'd prefer not make your own invitations, but still want a personalized touch, consider our Handyman Personalized Invitations, which include all the party details for you.
Make sure to seal your envelopes with>Handy Manny Stickers to add a final festive touch.
Decorating & Food Ideas
Make your guests feel like they're inside Handy Manny's repair shop or on a work site with the following ideas:
- Fit in with the Handy Manny theme by sticking to red, blue, and green when you're selecting balloons, streamers and tableware.
- Create a sign on a piece of wood, cardboard, or poster board saying, "Handy Manny's repair shop. You break it, we fix it." Post it at the entrance to your party.
- Write all of the guests' names on name badges and distribute their "work badges" and construction hard hats when they arrive at the party.
- Make signs such as "party area," "work zone," "canteen," etc., for various activity areas. You can section off these areas using construction cones or yellow construction tape.
- Tie balloons to cones and make them your table centerpieces. You can also place them in your front yard to make it easy for guests to find your house.
- Purchase plastic or rubber tools in bright colors, glue googly eyes on them, and draw on mouths to create Manny's tool friends. Place in a red toolbox or basket and display on a table.
- Hang plastic drop cloths from your roof so it looks like your house is under construction.
- Find a few large appliance boxes–for a refrigerator, stove, washing machine, etc.– and paint them to look like Sheetrock Hills, where Manny Garcia lives. Let the kids play in the boxes.
Since Manny is Mexican, consider kid-friendly Mexican fare, such as tacos. Instead of preparing each serving yourself, set up a taco bar table and allow the children (with the assistance from adults if they're young) to create their own tacos. Items you may want to include are chips, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, hard and soft tortillas, shredded Mexican cheese, chicken, beef, beans, shredded lettuce, tropical fruit salad, and churros or other Mexican pastries. Here are a few other ideas:
- Make a big batch of nachos, quesadillas, or Mexican pizza for your guests if a taco bar is going to be too messy.
- Serve hotdogs and other snacks in a new, clean paint tray. Fill new, empty paint cans with paintbrushes and allow children to paint on the condiments.
- Use tool-shaped cookie cutters to create edible versions of Manny's friends. Use icing or decorator gel to add faces to the cookies.
- Decorate your cake with graham crackers to look like wooden planks and use decorator gel to create orange construction cones. Finish your cake with tool candles.
Party Favor Ideas
Thank your guests for attending your Handy Manny birthday party with theme-related party favors like tool-shaped candies, rulers, keychain flashlights, tape measures, tool-shaped crayons and erasers, carpenter's pencils, stickers, toy tools, and doodle boards. Give your guests candy from Mr. Lopart's candy shop by creating a sticker saying "Mr. Lopart's Candies," and putting it on small bags of candy.
Put your favors in a creative container such as a mini-toolbox, empty paint tin, or personalized bucket. Create a sticker that says "Compliments of Manny's Repair Shop."
To save time, you may want to consider our complete Handy Manny Favor Sets. You can also choose from our selection of personalized favors. Choose from bag tags, zipper pulls, magnets, and more, all personalized with your guests' names or a personal message from you.

Yeah, I thought it was only Muk that was messing with Oak in the video phone scenes. I am pretty sure that only happened because Ash had too many Pokemon and the Muk was sent to Oak's lab instantaneousness. When he caught Snorlax in the Orange Islands I am pretty sure he just kept it around, only giving it Oak when he realized he couldn't feed it... damn, I'm upset that the voice actor didn't know this kinda stuff.
Anyway, if I am incorrect, and Snorlax did crush Oak, please correct me! Oh, and I guess I'll post a link on this forum when we finish the videos with him... they are pretty great.

Mariah Carey
0 Shouts - 58,443,558 Scrobbles
Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970 in Huntington, New York, United States) is an American pop and R&B singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, model and entrepreneur. She made her recording debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, and became the first recording artist to have her first five singles top the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993, a series of hit records established her position as Columbia's highest-selling act. According to Billboard magazine, she was the most successful artist of the 1990s in the United States, selling over 200 million records.Read More...
Following her separation from Mottola in 1997, Carey introduced elements of hip hop into her album work, to much initial success, but her popularity was in decline when she left Columbia in 2001. She signed to Virgin Records but was paid to leave the label the following year after a highly publicized physical and emotional breakdown, as well as the poor reception given to Glitter, her film and soundtrack project. In 2002, Carey signed with Island Records, and after a relatively unsuccessful period, she returned to the top of pop music in 2005.
Carey was named the best-selling female pop artist of the millennium at the 2000 World Music Awards. She has the most number-one singles for a solo artist in the United States next to Diana Ross (eighteen; second artist overall behind The Beatles), where, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, she is the third best-selling female artist and sixteenth overall recording artist. In addition to her commercial accomplishments, Carey has earned five Grammy Awards, and is well-known for her vocal range, power, melismatic style, and use of the whistle register. She is ranked as the best-selling female artist of the U.S. Nielsen SoundScan era (third best-selling artist overall), with shipments of over 62.5 million albums in the U.S. and has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide.
Mariah Carey got married with comedian, rapper and radio personality Nick Cannon in 2008, later followed by a divorce in 2015. Cannon and Carey have two kids together, Moroccan Scott Cannon and Monroe Cannon, also known as "Dem Babies" or "Rock and Roe", born April 30, 2011. Read more on Last.fm.

Pushing Dean Ambrose
As many of you already know, John Cena is expected to take some time away from WWE in the near future. That means that there will be an empty spot for someone on the roster to try to claim during his absence. It is being said that many backstage are pushing for Dean Ambrose to be given that chance. The one thing that might get in the way of that is that it might be too soon to do a rematch with Seth Rollins.
October 6, 2015
HHH vs Rock at Wrestlemania
As of right now, WWE still has The Rock penciled in for a big time match against Triple H at Wrestlemania. The reason why HHH is the opponent as opposed to someone like Brock Lesnar or even Seth Rollins is because management is really pushing to get Ronda Rousey to make an appearance at the pay per view. UFC won't allow her to wrestle, but they might be convinced to let her do an appearance at ringside.
September 28, 2015
Dean Ambrose attitude backstage
Earlier in the year, Tom Prichard revealed in a non malicious manner that Seth Rollins was getting a bigger push in WWE because he was better at being a backstage politician than Dean Ambrose. Word going around is that Ambrose is simply not political at all. He enjoys wrestling, and he probably hopes that his hard work and connection with the audience will bring the big push by itself.
August 14, 2015
Seth Rollins a politician
All three members of the Shield were trained by Tom Prichard, so when he speaks about them, he has a lot more insights than the fans do. The legendary trainer revealed recently that a major reason why Seth Rollins is being pushed more in WWE than Dean Ambrose is because the former is a much better backstage politician than the latter. Prichard was not being malicious with those comments.
July 26, 2015
Sheamus winning IC title
Initially, WWE had planned on giving Sheamus a big heel push so that he could challenge Roman Reigns for the world heavyweight championship. However, those plans were scrapped, and we now have a heel champion in Seth Rollins. The front office knew that there was only so much they could push the Celtic Warrior before he hit the ceiling. Well, rumors are floating around now that they are going to give him the Intercontinental Championship to work with.
May 13, 2015
Seth Rollins ethnic background
Since a lot of fans are aware of his real name, many have been wondering why WWE has not been pushing Seth Rollins harder on the Hispanic demographic, especially now that he holds the biggest championship in the promotion. The reason for that is simple. While his real name is Coby Lopez, his ethnicity is actually of Armenian descent. For whatever reasons, Rollins took on the last name of his stepfather and kept it ever since.
April 12, 2015
Rusev plans changed
When WWE decided to put the world heavyweight championship on Seth Rollins instead of Roman Reigns, that changed up plans that they had for Rusev. Initially, he was supposed to have been built up as a top level heel challenger for Reigns. Now that another heel is in the top spot, there is only so much that the Russian sympathizer can be pushed. The belief is that management extended his feud with John Cena, so they can figure out what to do.
April 7, 2015
Orton putting over Rollins
A match between Randy Orton and Seth Rollins is still heavily expected to take place at Wrestlemania. That much is known. What is not known, however, is who management will have coming out on top after the bell rings. Many backstage in WWE are pushing for Rollins to be put over, so that he can be moved into a title program with Roman Reigns. However, there are some that are pushing for Orton to get the win because he is making a comeback.
March 1, 2015
Seth Rollins nude
Since he is currently in the midst of a main event push by WWE, the last thing that Seth Rollins wanted was some controversy from outside the arena having an affect on what goes on in the ring. That is exactly what is happening right now, as nude photos of Rollins have surfaced online. They were posted via social media, and the reported culprit is his fiancee, who apparently is upset that Rollins has been having an affair with a developmental diva.
February 10, 2015
Wade Barrett turning face
Things could be a bit different when Wade Barrett finally makes his return to WWE. He could be doing a face turn. Management is aware that his character is quite popular with the audience and internet fans, so capitalizing on that would be a good idea. Plus, the creative department is concerned about pushing him on the heel side because there a lot of guys being pushed. Barrett would need to pass Rusev, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt.

New year brings less clarity to Blackwater in Iraq
RALEIGH, N.C. When a team of Blackwater Worldwide security contractors opened fire last year in Baghdad's Nisoor Square, nobody was quite sure if a crime had been committed, and if so, whether there was a prosecutor with the authority to bring charges.
More than a year after the shooting that left at least 14 Iraqi civilians dead – an incident that led Iraqi leaders to demand Blackwater leave the country and forced Chief Executive Erik Prince to defend his company in hearings before Congress – the rules under which security firms operate in Iraq are still muddled.
And a new U.S.-Iraqi security agreement that takes effect Jan. 1 isn't offering any help on the central question of whether Blackwater's roughly 1,000 guards working in Iraq are subject to that nation's courts.
"The immunity question – the largest question being talked about – is not addressed in the ... agreement," said Alan Chvotkin, who works on behalf of contractors, including Moyock, N.C.-based Blackwater, as executive vice president and counsel at the Arlington, Va.-based Professional Services Council.
"The implication is there is none, but there's some hedging on that question. As of right now, there's still some ambiguity. And smart people disagree about it."
Earlier this month, federal prosecutors in Washington won indictments on manslaughter and other charges against five Blackwater guards involved in the shooting. Their attorneys are expected to challenge the charges, arguing prosecutors used a law that covers soldiers and military contractors but not civilian contractors who work for the State Department.
That distinction also clouds what's know as the "status of forces" agreement, which governs the U.S. military presence in Iraq and was approved by the Iraqi parliament last month. It describes U.S. contractors as those working for the "Armed Forces," and does not directly address security guards – including those working for Blackwater – who operate under a contract issued by a civilian agency such as the State Department.
These are critical questions for Blackwater and its future. Based in the marshlands of northeastern North Carolina, Blackwater has used the more than $1 billion in government contracts won since the start of the Iraq war to grow from a small company focused on training to a security industry leader with a brand-name that's known worldwide.
Blackwater is the largest contractor providing security in Iraq and most of its work for the State Department is in protecting U.S. diplomats in Iraq – a job the agency is unable to handle on its own.
While Blackwater has announced plans to cut back its security contracting business, it remains committed to its most high-profile mission for as long as it has a paying customer.
"We are following the direction of our U.S. government client," said Blackwater spokeswoman Anne Tyrrell, who referred specific questions about the status-of-forces pact to the State Department. "We will do as they ask, for as long as they ask."
Those inside the security industry are nervous about what they describe as the State Department's reluctance to answer their questions about how to interpret the status of forces agreement, other than to suggest the companies prepare to work in Iraq without immunity from its justice system.
Tara Lee, a partner at the law firm DLA Piper in Reston, Va., who has represented security contractors other than Blackwater, said contractors pressed State Department officials at a recent meeting, asking "Do you plan to get answers and some follow-on guidance to contractors in Iraq before the jurisdiction takes effect on Jan. 1?"
Lee recalled the answer: "No."
Contractors were originally granted immunity from Iraqi authorities under Decree 17, issued by L. Paul Bremer during his tenure as the head of the civilian administration the U.S. installed in Iraq. Chvotkin said he believes Blackwater's guards still have immunity under that order, but may lose that protection if Iraq's parliament specifically eliminates it.

Diamond engagement rings go back as far as the late 1400s, and they became the symbol of ruling elite power. The meaning of diamond rings began to change, as men offered the rings as a sign of everlasting love. Through the years, most engagement rings have contained multiple diamonds. "The more the merrier" engagement ring axiom loses its lustre in the late 1990s, as jewellers created engagement rings that held one large diamond in the middle of a setting. While contemporary solitaire diamond rings continue to promote everlasting love, they have also become the ultimate statement of unbridled elegance.
Men have many options when it comes to finding the right solitaire diamond ring, but the best option is online at the leading auction site, eBay. Some solitaire diamond ring sellers on eBay offer nearly mint condition rings that have been passed down as family heirlooms. These sellers no longer have use for the rings or they simply need the cash. Before shopping on eBay for solitaire diamond rings, men should first learn what defines a solitaire ring, know the metals and setting available to construct the ring, and most important, understand the four Cs that constitute the diamond.
What Is a Solitaire Ring?
Solitaire rings sold on eBay feature one gemstone that jewellers adroitly set within four to six prongs attached to a band constructed with a precious metal. While many people associate solitaire rings with diamonds, there are other gemstone choices that include sapphire, ruby, emerald, and tanzanite. Jewellers can cut the gemstones to be round, oval, heart, pear, princess, or cushion-shaped. Solitaire rings have become the most popular type of engagement ring.
Components of a Solitaire Diamond Ring
Men who shop for solitaire diamond rings on eBay have to decide on three components. The diamond represents the most difficult decision, but the setting used to secure the diamond and the metal chosen for the band construction also play significant roles in determining the composition of a solitaire diamond ring.
Solitaire diamond ring settings can vary from simple, elegant designs to more intricate designs that enhance the beauty of a ring. However, the primary function of most ring settings is to secure the gemstones that jewellers set on the ring. In the case of one diamond, the setting becomes even more important since a solitaire diamond is typically worth more than an individual diamond set in a group of diamonds.
The precious metal utilised to construct the band should provide durability, as well as highlight the diamond's best features. While sterling silver is the most popular metal utilised to construct solitaire diamond rings, men have other metal options that provide more benefits. Men typically pay less attention to the metal used for solitaire diamond rings than the attention they pay to the setting and diamond.
Men must consider the cut, colour, clarity, and carat of the diamond chosen for a solitaire ring purchased on eBay. Selecting a solitaire diamond ring often comes down to a balance between budget and personal taste. Men who understand the four Cs of diamond buying have a better chance of choosing a diamond that meets their solitaire diamond ring buying criteria.
Types of Solitaire Diamond Ring Metals
The metals utilised to construct the solitaire diamond rings sold on eBay influence roughly 10 per cent of the ring's cost. However, ring band metals are important because they determine the ring's strength, durability, comfort level, and hypoallergenic properties.
Platinum is a rare, naturally white metal that garners praise for its strength and purity. The density of this metal provides incomparable durability and diamond setting protection. Platinum is also naturally hypoallergenic, meaning there is not a risk of skin irritation. While all metals scratch, platinum loses very little metal. Platinum's rising popularity, combined with its low supply, makes it one of the costliest precious metals used to construct solitaire diamond ring bands.
Yellow Gold
Since it is typically only about 75 per cent pure, yellow gold gets much of its strength from other metal alloys. The addition of other metal alloys influences the band's hue. Yellow gold turns into white gold when rhodium covers the surface. Yellow gold is widely available, and hence, less expensive than other precious metals.
This lustrous silver-white metal is the primary alloy integrated into yellow gold. As a standalone metal, it provides solitaire diamond ring bands with anti-tarnish properties that make the metal a good choice for women living in more humid climates. It also does not cause skin irritation, and because of its low density, palladium feels light on the finger.
Titanium has recently gained acceptance as a viable metal choice for engagement ring bands because of its rugged durability. Its corrosion resistance and hypoallergenic properties makes it a perfect choice for women who have sensitive skin. This metal is as strong as steel, but it feels as light on the finger as aluminium. Titanium can possess either a cool grey or solid black appearance.
The Different Types of Settings
Ring settings play a prominent role in projecting the set gemstones in the most favourable light. However, properly securing the only diamond on a ring is more important than appearance. Men should be aware that many jewellers refer to the setting as the mounting. The following chart lists the types of setting and a brief description of each solitaire diamond ring setting found on eBay.
Setting Type
The most common type of solitaire ring setting found on eBay
Three to six claws hold the diamond in place
Setting that projects most light exposure from every angle
Compression-spring pressure holds diamond in place
Permits an abundance of light to enter stone, thus making it popular for solitaire diamond rings
Difficult to resize
A metal rim with edges that fully or partially surround the gemstone
Offers best protection against nicks or scratches
Vertical metal bars secure diamond
Leaves top and bottom of diamond exposed
Most jewellers recommend the prong setting, especially six prongs to ensure the diamond's protection. However, men who prefer to showcase the diamond should consider other types of settings. Remember that choosing the setting for one diamond requires different criteria than choosing the setting for multiple gemstones.
Diamonds: Analysing the Four Cs
The diamond featured in a solitaire diamond ring represents on average nearly 90 per cent of the ring's value. Therefore, men who shop for that special solitaire diamond ring on eBay must become familiar with the four Cs of diamonds: cut, colour, clarity, and carat.
The quality of a diamond cut indicates how well the diamond reflects light, with the goal to cut the diamond to reflect light in multiple colours. Expert diamond cutters take into consideration proportion, shape, and particularly symmetry, as asymmetrical cuts diminish a diamond's ability to reflect light in multiple directions. Men should only consider eBay sellers who present cut grades in their solitaire diamond ring descriptions. Cut grades include ideal, excellent, very good, good, fair, and poor.
eBay buyers can find solitaire diamonds offered in numerous colours and colour combinations. They should first search for eBay sellers who offer colourless diamonds, since less colour translates into higher diamond quality. Personal taste plays a role in determining the type of colour chosen, as some women prefer pink or yellow diamonds. However, colourless diamonds allow the most light through a diamond, which jewellers refer to as the diamond's "fire". Men should search for solitaire rings that contain diamonds that are "fire" rated D, E, or F.
The amount of pressure exerted on a diamond during production determines its clarity. High pressure can cause what jewellers refer to as inclusions, which can be fissures, cracks, scratches, or tiny air bubbles. The fewer the inclusions, the higher quality the diamond. Men should search for solitaire rings on eBay containing diamond clarity ratings of either Flawless (FL) or Internally Flawless (IF).
Carat denotes the diamond weight, which may be the most important factor when choosing a single diamond for a ring. Most solitaire diamond engagement rings set a single diamond that weighs either 14 or 18 carats. Men should remember that one carat equals 0.2 g. Most eBay solitaire diamond ring sellers provide carat information in their product descriptions.
How to Buy a Solitaire Diamond Ring on eBay
Buying the right solitaire diamond ring on eBay involves finding a seller that matches your diamond cut, colour, clarity, and carat criteria. You can find the right seller by first typing keywords into eBay's search engine, and then reviewing the credentials of eBay's Top-Rated Sellers.
eBay's Search Engine
eBay offers buyers a powerful search engine that helps them find the right solitaire diamond seller. Type specific keyword into the search engine to reduce the number of search result pages. For instance, type "platinum solitaire diamond ring" or "yellow gold solitaire diamond ring" to find the seller who matches your shopping criteria. Once you find the right seller, navigate to the seller's product page to review accepted payment methods, delivery terms, and return policy. Carefully scrutinise the seller's return policy to ensure that you have enough time for to give the solitaire diamond ring a test run.
Top-Rated Sellers
eBay's Top-Rated Sellers have established reputations for selling high-quality products and providing accurate description of their product features. eBay places an electronic ribbon icon by each qualified top-rated seller's product photograph. You can also review customer feedback that appears on seller product pages. Look for sellers who have earned positive feedback over the past year and who have received rave reviews for selling fine jewellery. Once you build a relationship with an eBay seller, check if that seller runs an eBay Store where you can buy products directly, instead of having to go through the auction process.
For centuries, diamond rings have represented the virtue of sharing everlasting love. A tradition once practised by kings and queens eventually became a regular part of the courtship process. Diamond rings have always comprised multiple diamonds set on a stunning ring band. However, jewellers began to set one impressive-looking diamond ring in a setting, and hence, the solitaire diamond ring was born. Solitaire diamond rings have become the most popular type of diamond engagement ring because the single diamond chosen must maximise the four Cs, which are a diamond's cut, colour, clarity, and carat.
Single natural diamonds must be large enough to stand out in a setting, and thus, most solitaire diamond rings hold 14 or 18 carat diamonds. Solitaire diamonds must also illuminate myriad brilliant light colours that the cut and colour of diamonds determine. Once men choose a diamond, they can then decide on the type of setting and precious metal used to construct the ring. The prong setting, which involves three to six claws, does the best job of projecting the most light from the most angles. More and more men are turning to platinum for solitaire diamond ring bands, since platinum offers both durability and a stylish appearance. Once all of the factors involved in deciding on a solitaire diamond ring have been solved, the last consideration is how much cash is in the chequebook to purchase the ring.

Uber is a morally reprehensible company, and should never be used as a source of inspiration for a profession entrusted with the health and safety of patients. But hear me out.
Though Uber is morally objectionable, their product is excellent. Millions use the service because of the advantages it provides over traditional taxi cabs and services. Some have argued that Uber's great product is borne out of the company's willingness to flaunt legal regulations and ignore municipal by-laws. In other words, Uber is bad because it does bad things; but some of the bad things it does enables a great end result.
There are lessons here to be learned for the future of pharmacy. Rules and regulations bog down the profession of pharmacy (and any industry, including hair braiders) and extensive legal oversight can make innovation difficult. Yes, there have been showcases of innovative pharmacy practices, but none are exemplary, none are scalable, none are models for the future of pharmacy care across the country. They are individual success stories, carved out of the existing legislative constraints. People point to these as examples of the future, and pharmacists' apathy for why more examples haven't caught on. I disagree.
Most pharmacists practicing in a strong clinical capacity are doing it in hospitals or government-led practice models. Missing from all this is the Uber pharmacist — or perhaps better put, the entrepreneurial pharmacist. We don't want innovative pharmacists to break the law or be morally abject, but the laws simply are too restrictive to allow for practice change. Current legislation is intended to regulate a model of pharmacy practice that almost everyone agrees now is out-dated and needs to be changed. What kind of practice change? I don't know. I'm not the entrepreneurial type I'm talking about. But even I can come up with easy examples.
To open a "pharmacy practice", the Alberta College of Pharmacists requires me to register as a pharmacy, including my "hours of operation". What does that mean if I want to open a practice modeled on UBC's Pharmacist Clinic? What if I wanted to provide professional services akin to in-home doctor services like MedVisit? Notwithstanding remote dispensing laws, can a therapeutic check of a prescription be done off-site? The Ontario College of Pharmacists requires the dispensing area to be no smaller than 200 square feet. What does that mean if I have a home office that provides clinical professional services? Does pharmacist liability insurance cover you if you set up a telephone counseling service?
Consider a pharmacist-led smoking cessation program — offered in a dentist's office. People in a dentist's office are thinking about oral health; the dentist may recommend quitting smoking among many ways to improve oral health and reduce the risk of oral cancer. But the conversation often ends there, and the patient is left to figure it out on their own. What if there was an in-house solution whereby the dentist's receptionist takes an appointment for a smoking cessation program offered through the pharmacist? The appointments take place in the dentist's counselling office, on site. The result is value added service for the dental office, clinical based community practice for the pharmacist, better health for the patient.
How does the pharmacist get paid? In many provinces, pharmacist-led smoking cessation programs are government-funded programs, and there seems to be no logical reason that a pharmacist couldn't bill directly for these. Except in all provinces, pharmacists have no way to claim for those services directly. Sure, there's an opportunity to charge patients directly for the program, but dentists may not like that arrangement, and insurance companies may refuse to reimburse patients when a government program is in place. And patients may not understand why they have to pay for a program when similar services may be available from their physician for "free", as required under the Canada Health Act. According to the Ontario College of Pharmacists, setting up a patient file is covered under a usual and customary fee. And so the regulatory framework fails everyone and cements the status quo. An entrepreneurial pharmacist sees this smoking cessation proposal as a non-starter.
Even pharmacy operators are beholden to the current regulatory model. Could you set up a pharmacy with $0 dispensing fee, based entirely on markup? If a pharmacy was willing to do this, and live off an 8-10% markup alone, we could see cheaper prescription drug prices for Canadians and better patient outcomes. Or, crazily, what about an advertising-sponsored dispensing model, where generic medications are dispensed free (or nominally so) if it comes with ads (not pharma ads, but any general advertising). I don't know if these are feasible models or not, but it does seem that US pharmacies are already farther along this spectrum than Canada. I do know that you can't even begin to explore different models under the current pharmacy paradigm and its regulatory frameworks.
The entrepreneurial pharmacist is a different and rare species. They are creative and can see opportunities where others don't. Some are nothing short of iconoclastic. And to be clear, I'm not just talking about money-making entrepreneurs, but practice-changing entrepreneurs. People who are looking for new models of practice even if it doesn't necessarily mean an 8% return on investment. So you can't do surveys and ask whether current pharmacists would prefer to have a pharmacist's billing number, or prefer profit sharing, or something of the like. Entrepreneurial pharmacists are looking for any and all avenues for change and don't care what the majority feel; in fact, by definition they are looking to go against the grain. They need to be less fettered, have less strings attached and initiatives like prescribing authority are only one half of this puzzle. We need to create the environment for the entrepreneurial pharmacist to take the risk and venture on her own and they will lead the way to the future of pharmacy practice.

Manila, Philippines – NATATANGING GAWAD URIAN – Loyal Highspeed reader Mel Caparas suggests to the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino that Nora Aunor be the recipent of this year's Natatanging Gawad Urian (lifetime achievement award). Mel reminds the Manunuri that Nora won six Urian best actress awards, the first to be so honored in the '70s for "Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos." She was nominated 10 times.
Mel adds that the critics named Nora Actor of the Decade twice and that "Himala" was chosen Film of the Decade.
Agree with Mel. But if not this year, why not next?
RICH HARVEST – The past year, since Nora Aunor returned from the US after more than five years, the Superstar has been receiving one honor after the other.
Think of those recognitions from the Philippine Movie Press Club, Gawad Tanglaw, Cinema One Originals, Original Pilipino Music, FAMAS, and CineManila – all citing her sterling achievements in the entertainment industry.
The last one is from the Entertainment Press Society, Inc., the Lino Brocka Lifetime Achievement Award. Nora starred in several Brocka films, including "Bona" and "Ina Ka ng Anak Mo."
A rich harvest, indeed.
2012 PROJECTS – Nora's projects this year include the filmbio of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, "El Presidente," with ER Ejercito in the title role. She plays Aguinaldo's second wife.
Now, is it true that director Tikoy Aguiluz is out of the picture? And that he'll be replaced by Mark Meily?
Looking forward to her planned movie with Cannes best director Brillante Mendoza. It's tentatively titled "The Womb." Sana matuloy.
TV5 ARTIST – Also excited to hear Nora's projects for TV5, her home studio. Last year, she topbilled the soap "Sa Ngalan ng Ina."
If I may suggest, why not a soap like "Central Station," a Brazilian movie starring Fernanda Montenegro? It's the story of a callous woman who accompanies a young boy in search of his parent. Most moving story.
By the way, other TV5 contract stars won in the last Enpress awards night.
They include Aga Muhlach, best actor for "In the Name of Love," which he did with Star Cinema, opposite Angel Locsin.
Also Martin Escudero and Edgar Allan Guzman, tied for best actor, "Zombadings" and "Ligo Na U, Lapit Na Me," respectively. Kristoffer Brugada won best story for "Patikul."

Roncalli's best football season in seven years came to an end Friday night, against the team directly responsible for ending five of the Rebels' past six seasons.
Class 4A No. 7 Cathedral bolted to a 21-0 first-quarter lead, taking advantage of an onside kick, punt return for a touchdown and four interceptions en route to a 34-7 victory against the third-ranked Rebels in the Class 4A sectional championship game.
An estimated crowd of 7,000 fans watched at Tech High School.
The win catapulted the Fighting Irish (7-5) into Friday's regional, when they will host No. 4 Mount Vernon (Fortville). Roncalli finished 9-3, and its nine wins were the program's most since the 2005 squad finished 12-3 and advanced to the Class 4A state championship game.
Things unraveled early for the Rebels. Cathedral scored on its first possession, a 10-play, 56-yard drive that ended with a 10-yard John Hummel touchdown run. The Irish recovered an onside kick on the next possession and scored again four plays later when quarterback Connor Rice ran into the end zone from 15 yards.
After forcing a Roncalli three-and-out, Terry McLaurin returned the Rebels' punt 43 yards for another touchdown, building Cathedral's lead to 21-0 with 1:36 still to play in the first quarter.
"(Cathedral) stuffed us on our first possession, went right down and scored, and if something could go wrong after that, it did," Roncalli coach Bruce Scifres said. "We're a better team than the score indicated. When you fall behind 21-0, your entire scheme changes."
Indeed, Roncalli, primarily a running team this season, went to the air after falling behind. Its lone touchdown came exclusively by passing. Cam Smock completed 4 of 7 passes on the drive, which the Rebels marched 80 yards in just 55 seconds. David Holtkamp hauled in a 17-yard pass from Smock as time expired, and Kyle Kedra's extra point made it 27-7 Cathedral at halftime.
Smock attempted 30 passes, completing 12 for 139 yards. Cathedral's pass rush and solid downfield coverage also produced six sacks. The Irish rushed for 284 yards and held Roncalli to minus-2 rushing yards.
"We felt like we had some momentum (at halftime)," Scifres said. "We hoped we'd stuff them on their first possession of the second half, put some points on the board and the game would get interesting."
Instead, Cathedral marched 72 yards on eight plays on the second half's first drive, capped by Gino Gillum's 28-yard touchdown reception. Roncalli never came closer than Cathedral's 28-yard line from there.
The game featured two teams that have combined for 17 state titles and win 10 of the past 16 Class 4A state crowns. Cathedral won its 17th sectional title and its seventh straight sectional crown.
Roncalli, which has won 16 sectional titles, was seeking its first sectional championship since 2005.
"We had a great season," Scifres said. "The majority of our starters are underclassmen, and our seniors were great leaders and hard workers. We certainly didn't want the season to end the way it did."

 I am here mostly to gather information about the process, costs, and fidelity of the final result versus the initial concept with respect to the individual materials available.

 Our force of arms project is not only a video game at this point. It has mushroomed into a planned CCG and now because of this website, it may have features of a table top miniatures game.

Neil made this comment on another thread, and it honestly made me stop and think. I have been watching what I eat and getting more exercise to slowly get healthier and work towards getting fit enough to the point of being able to consider myself "better than average". I don't think I am there yet, but I am on the way. Or am I....Originally Posted by Neil_B
Although I have been watching my calorie intake and being conscious of the "cost" of everything I put in my mouth, I haven't made an effort to really 'give up' anything in terms of food. I eat less 'bad' food, and eat that less frequently, but I haven't consciously given it up. Unless I do, am I destined to ultimately put back on what I am now working hard to lose?
It is easy to say "need to just cut out the unhealthy things from your diet", but, do I actually want to? If one of the things I enjoy in life is a great meal, or a tasty snack, do I want to try to give it up? I am thinking the answer is "moderation", but will certainly give it some more thought.
Most of the above is a bit of internal soul searching, but would be interested to know if others have gone through similar thought processes, and/or have made commitments to give something up. If you gave something up, what was it, and how do you feel about having given it up - occassionally tempted, or haven't given it another thought?

Light Years (Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now
This exquisite, resonant novel by PEN/Faulkner winner James Salter is a brilliant portrait of a marriage by a contemporary American master. It is the story of Nedra and Viri, whose favored life is centered around dinners, ingenious games with their children, enviable friends, and near-perfect days passed skating on a frozen river or sunning on the beach. But even as he lingers over the surface of their marriage, Salter lets us see the fine cracks that are spreading through it, flaws that will eventually mar the lovely picture beyond repair. Seductive, witty, and elegantly nuanced, "Light Years" is a classic novel of an entire generation that discovered the limits of its own happiness and then felt compelled to destroy it.
About the Author
James Salter is an American novelist and short story writer whose work includes the classic A Sport and A Pastime. He has won the PEN/Faulkner award, and who was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2000.
Praise For…
"Extraordinary . . . at once tender, exultant, unabashedly sexual, sensual, and profoundly sad. Light Years is a masterpiece."
—Elizabeth Benedict, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Remarkable. . . . Salter celebrates the silver-and-golden bitterness of life. Light Years . . . becomes an unexpectedly moving ode to beautiful lives frayed by time."
—James Wolcott, Esquire
"[A] twentieth-century masterpiece. At once iridescent, lyrical, mystical and magnetic."
—Bloomsbury Review
"An absolutely beautiful, monstrous, important book."
—Joy Williams

What is the G.A.R.C.F. charge on my invoice?
G.A.R.C.F., or Government Agency Regulatory Compliance Fee, is charged on all invoices for propane gas delivery. Over the years, as concern for environmental and safety issues has grown, there has been an ever-increasing number of local, state and federal regulations concerning energy production, storage and transport. While SchagrinGAS has always been committed to supplying our customers with the most cost-effective energy products in a way that meets or exceeds all safety and environmental standards, the cost of compliance with this myriad of regulations has continued to grow. Each new and existing regulatory standard carries with it an added burden of fees, inspections and paperwork. The training and reporting requirements continue to grow and expand, as does our involvement with federal, state and local public safety agencies to coordinate emergency response and hazardous materials handling programs. We find that we are unable to absorb these additional obligations into our regular energy acquisition, storage and delivery costs, and so an itemized charge for Government Agency Regulatory Compliance will appear on your invoice. The primary agencies affecting this fee include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC).
If you have further questions, please contact your local SchagrinGAS office.

The Age of Asia
McCullagh, Charles, Folio: the Magazine for Magazine Management
The recent International Federation of the Periodical Press (FIPP) conference in Tokyo underscored the fact that the next century will likely belong to Asia. Accordingly, media companies had better put time, energy and money into these markets if they are to be successful. Asia is taking back Asia, and rewriting the rules. The age of colonialism, media and otherwise, is over. This was a major theme of the conference, perhaps best expressed by Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corporation, in his keynote address.
After the requisite paean to print, Murdoch's talk was all digital. He predicted the "end of geography-based markets since digital content increases flexibility, allowing distribution on multiple platforms of the same content around the world." He appears to be putting his money where his mouth is. News Corp. has invested heavily in digital direct broadcast satellite services (DBS). The DBS platform (TV and interactive services) provides low-cost signals to China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Australia and Malaysia, where cable is economically unfeasible.
Advances in telecommunications contribute to the "universalization" of cultural interests and lifestyles, Murdoch acknowledged, but emphasized that nations retain their own social and moral values that the media must take into account. He remarked that "China is a distinctive market with distinctive social and moral values that Western companies must learn to abide by." News Corp. has just invested in a $2 billion digital satellite up-link facility in Hong Kong. Clearly, local content will be a significant part of Murdoch's Asia Pacific plan. While China's new assertiveness is bound to worry its neighbors, this development will likely fuel a new round of cultural nationalism in Asia.
The other FIPP keynote was delivered by Zhang Bohai, vice president and secretary-general of the China Periodicals Association, on the state of magazine publishing in China. He reminded his audience that magazines' primary responsibility is to satisfy the public's spiritual needs. "Vulgar content" will be condemned by the public because it does not fulfill this objective. With such inscrutable logic, he had little need to talk about censorship. But it is there and will likely become a much more significant force in China and Hong Kong.
Companies intent on doing business in Pacific Asia should know there is no such thing as a Pan Asian market. But this does not mean opportunities do not exist for American publishers. Some trends that underscore these opportunities:
1) Although the major Asian economies no longer enjoy double-digit growth, they are still growing at twice the rate of the U.S. economy.
2) There is an increasing demand for branded product across Asia. Japan might be slowing down as the largest consumer of luxury products, but China, Taiwan and South Korea are already taking up the slack.
3) Brand extensions through licensing are becoming increasingly popular. Hachette's Elle is a splendid example of a product that can generate, in certain Asian countries, more revenue through licensing than through publishing. Petersen Publishing, Rodale Press and others are keen to develop licensing businesses in Asia.
4) There is a segmentation of the mass magazines market which suggests South Korea, Taiwan, China and other countries will follow, rough form, patterns observed in the United States in the 1970s and in the United Kingdom in the 1980s. That is, the greatest growth will be in special-interest and special-audience magazines fed by expanding economies that encourage spending on leisure-time activities and products.
5) There is a discernible shift toward "magazines as carriers of lifestyle as well as culture," many speakers observed. This is a very important development for Western publishers who offer titles that satisfy the aspirations of the individual. The greater the growth of the free-market economy in China, the greater the prospect for Western lifestyle and instructional magazines that dignify the individual. …

This picture symbolizes much of what we know about the adaptive landscape: Fascinating, important looking, but mostly in the dark and hard to quantify. At this stage we often don't even know what axes to use, let alone how to navigate this maze. A key goal of EvoSysBio is to quantify various aspects of the adaptive landscape to improve our understanding of is important metaphor for evolutionary biology.
Nothing in biology makes sense
except when properly quantified in the light of evolution.
Evolutionary systems biology aims to bring together the rich mechanistic details of current systems biology and the long-standing quantitative experience in evolutionary genetics in order to increase the quantitative rigor of biological analyses. For a definition see here.
Since current systems biology means many things to many people, it is perhaps inevitable that evolutionary systems biology might be even broader. We hope that EvoSysBio will bring together approaches from systems biology and evolutionary biology to help construct more realistic and illuminating models of life and its evolution. This goes beyond comparative analyses and aims to provide mechanistic models reliable enough to predict evolution. Weather forecasts are very difficult, yet computer models have helped tremendously. Will we be able to simulate key aspects of evolution in a similar way?
Such questions and related issues are regularly discussed at diverse Meetings on Evolutionary Systems Biology. The last meeting was:
Tue, 2pm - 10pm, Aug, 25, 2015 at UW-Madison
Workshop on Evolutionary Systems Biology & Modeling, Madison, Wisconsin, USA, Website
Tue, 2pm - 10pm, Aug, 25, 2015 at UW-Madison
Workshop on Evolutionary Systems Biology & Modeling, Madison, Wisconsin, USA, Website
Watch out for an upcoming meeting later this year.
