Find the perfect online jeweler to create a custom engagement ring.
Every man wants to propose to the woman he loves with the perfect ring. He wants to wow her and present her with the ring of her dreams. What better way to do this than with a custom engagement ring made especially for her? With some time and effort, it is possible to find the perfect online jeweler to create a custom ring for a beautiful bride-to-be.
Many couples prefer to design their own custom made engagement rings instead of purchasing a ring that is already manufactured. They want to select their own diamonds and settings in order to create a ring that is unlike any other. There are many reputable online jewelry stores that offer total creations that include the entire wedding ring set, including the engagement ring. (Visit site to learn more.)
Before ultimately deciding on an online jeweler, keep these tips in mind:
- Check out reviews. It's easy to find a jeweler's reviews online, and it's one of the best ways to get an honest idea of the reputation of the company.
- Shop around. The choices in online jewelers are plentiful, so be sure to do research and check out multiple sites. Look at their "About" pages to get an idea of their company philosophies. Browse an online jeweler's portfolio if they have one on their site.
- Select the diamond or the setting first. If the woman has already has a setting in mind, then choose the diamond first. Don't select both at the same time; this avoids rash decisions.
- Don't rush. Purchasing a custom made engagement ring is a big decision, so take the time to do research in order to make the best possible decision for specific tastes and budgets.
While it may seem as if the quality of the diamond, setting, and craftsmanship is somewhat of a gamble when purchasing online, there are many online jewelers that have been in business for many years and have many loyal customers. The key for the buyer is to do plenty of research before making a final decision on the ring of her dreams.

Success Story
Celebrating Five Decades of Dunn's Dramatic Vision
For nearly 50 years, College of Marin students have studied with acclaimed Drama Professor James Dunn, whose passion for theater and teaching culminates each spring in a celebration of Shakespeare and an extraordinary student theater production.
"I have loved teaching theater," said Dunn, who turns 80 in February. Dunn founded the College of Marin Drama Department in 1964 and taught full time for 30 years. He served as chair of the department until 1994, directing more than 250 plays. He continues to teach Shakespeare and direct spring productions. "I've always tried to instill a love of the subject in my students. I love the idea of turning people on to another world that they didn't even think about when coming to school in their wildest dreams, to give students a sense of who they are. I've loved every moment about being a teacher."
Under Dunn's tutelage, the drama program grew from an extracurricular campus activity to a professional grooming ground for successful actors, many of whom have earned critical acclaim in theater conservatories across the country including The Juilliard School, Carnegie Mellon, and Harvard's American Repertory Theatre. Well-known names such as David Dukes, Robin Williams, Kathleen Quinlan, Joel Blum, and Leslie Hendrix are just a few of the many former College of Marin drama students who have gone on to build successful careers.
"I haven't been in the business just to teach professional actors," Dunn said. "My idea is to expand students' learning abilities and creative abilities, to do things they didn't think they could do before. That's what I'm excited about."
Students have benefited from Dunn's long-term relationship with the Mountain Play, where he served as artistic director for almost 30 years. "Jim was a wonderful bridge between the artistic development of the Mountain Play and College of Marin," said Sara Pearson, executive director and producer at Mountain Play Association. "As the chair of the College's theater department, he trained and worked with up and coming artists, many of whom went on to become part of the mainstay of the Mountain Play's talent pool."
There too, Dunn's vision catapulted the once languishing company into a first class community resource.
"His vision gave the Mountain Play its character," Pearson said. "We all credit Jim for giving the Mountain Play its naturally spectacular finesse."
Dunn literally grew up on the College of Marin campus. His stepfather taught in the Engineering Department. Dunn attended San Rafael High School where he "worked on cars and chased girls," but did not focus so much on grades. He signed up for the U.S. Marine Corps when he was 17 and served two years in the Korean War. Upon returning home, he enrolled at College of Marin, eventually transferring to San Jose State where he earned bachelor's and master's degrees in drama. He was teaching at a high school when he heard the College was starting a drama department and he signed on to develop the curriculum for one of the first programs of its kind in the state.
"It was an exciting time," Dunn recalled. "The College was growing like crazy."
Early on, the San Francisco Foundation helped fund a study of ancient Greek theater, which culminated in a production of Aeschylus' The Oresteia.
A year later, Dunn's Wild West production of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew was invited to perform at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland, earning the Best Production award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and giving a command performance before Princess Margaret and her family.
"I've done every kind of play there is," Dunn said. "I'm still teaching Shakespeare. I love to take a 400-year-old playwright and show them how it is still relevant and speaks to us today."
Professional honors include six Bay Area Critics Circle Awards for Directing, the Los Angeles Dramalogue Award for Directing, the San Francisco Dramalogue Award for Directing, and a City of Mill Valley Arts Commission (2002) Milley Award. Dunn was nominated for the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges Hayward Award for Excellence in Teaching and received an award for Outstanding Contribution to the Arts in Marin County from the Marin County Cultural Society. He recently received a Life Achievement Directing Award from the San Francisco Bay Area Critics Circle (2011).
For students considering College of Marin, Dunn is an enthusiastic cheerleader. In addition to his stepfather, his children have all attended College of Marin.
"The community college system is one of the finest systems ever developed in education," Dunn said. "I don't know what would've happened to me if I didn't go to College of Marin. It was a place that made my life work. There's no better place. It allows people who don't have the funds or even the grades to go to school. I love to watch a commencement and see an 80-year-old great grandmother getting an AA degree with her whole family cheering or a student who came to the U.S. from Vietnam giving the commencement address in English. This is what we do here at College of Marin. We provide a place where people can work to achieve their dreams."

College Hockey:WMU Stuns UAF With Four-Goal Comeback
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — When Alaska Fairbanks and Western Michigan get together, one thing is certain: you're in for a high-intensity, high-scoring brand of hockey.
Those in attendance at Lawson Arena Friday night were not disappointed as the Broncos scored four goals in the third period to knock off the Nanooks, 4-2.
A cloud of despair hung heavy in the UAF locker room following a game in which the Nanooks allowed a two-goal third-period lead and a chance at the top spot in the CCHA to slip through their grasp.
"They played extremely hard and they deserved it, it certainly doesn't make it any easier to swallow from our standpoint," said UAF head coach Guy Gadowsky. "It's the second night in a row where we're up and we lost it.
"Talk about the Broncos and the character they have to come back in the third period. I'd like to think we have that kind of character on our club, but that's twice in a row now and it's something we certainly have to address."
After battling through a scoreless first period, Nathan Fornataro put the Nanooks up late in the second with a power-play effort, the only UAF power-play goal on the night despite five opportunities.
Riding the 1-0 lead into the third, Jason Grinevitch scored just 56 seconds in for UAF. Once again, though, the two-goal lead proved to be the most dangerous in hockey.
Before UAF quite realized what happened, the Broncos had taken the lead on goals from Ryan Mahrle and Pat Dwyer just 11 seconds apart, midway through the period.
"I think initially we played a little tentative and a little tight, but then we seemed to settle and get better chances," said WMU head coach Jim Culhane.
The Broncos had been getting their chances all night and the puck didn't seem to be bouncing their way, but one favorable hop was all it took to break the game open.
Jeremy Cheyne, parked alongside Keith Bartusch, was in the right place at the right time as a shot from Paul Szczechura deflected off Cheyne's stick and Bartusch's right shoulder to narrow the UAF lead to 2-1.
"That's a big goal, I tried to reinforce on the bench to just stay patient and one of our lines will get a goal," said Culhane. "At that point we really gain some momentum."
Following the Cheyne goal both clubs kicked the intensity level up a notch; to the Nanooks' despair it was the Broncos who found the extra gear on the Mahrle and Dwyer goals.
Dwyer's shot into the empty net, his second goal of the game, sealed the deal with 33 seconds to play.
Scott Foster made 26 saves as he backstopped the Broncos to victory. Bartusch gave up three goals on the night as the Broncos peppered him with 40 shots.
WMU and UAF square off again Saturday night at 7 p.m. at Lawson Arena, as both clubs begin to make their push to the top of the conference standings.

BARNSLEY Council will look at putting £2million in to a property investment fund to stimulate the development of commercial sites and attract new businesses to the borough.
The recommendation was made by an economic growth watchdog, led by councillors, which looked into creating the right conditions for growing the town's economy and prosperity.
It focused on the development of sites earmarked for commerical use, or those likely to be designated as such in future through the Local Plan.
The group, led by Coun Paul Hand-Davis, considered three options to try and kick start development.
The favoured option was setting up a property investment fund, which would be used as a grant funding pot to provide assistance to developers.
Coun Hand-Davis said: "Our main recommendation is that we establish a property investment fund to kick start activity."
He explained how a fund of £2 million could generate up to 100,000 square feet of commercial property space and this should provide a good 'litmus test' to see what is needed to bring forward speculative schemes.
The report says the £2m could be allocated from the economic strategy investment budget but this would require formal approval by the council's ruling cabinet.
Coun Hand-Davis told cabinet members that development of brownfield sites is always preferred, however, some former coalfield sites are in poor locations for present day commercial developments, being some distance from good transport links and some cases they can only be accessed through residential areas.
He said: "Businesses like to move in to ready erected properties and structures and set up and start working rather than developing brownfield sites."

I am trying to find a nice way to verify that whenever $q \in (0,1)$ and $x \in (0,1)$, then $$\frac{1-q}{q} - \frac{1-q^{x}}{xq^{x}} \geq 0 .$$

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Take the derivative with respect to $q$ to get $$\frac{q^{1-x} - 1}{q^2}$$ which is negative for $q,x \in (0,1)$. This means that $\frac{1-q}{q} - \frac{1-q^x}{xq^x}$ is monotone decreasing in $q$ (for a chosen $x$), so it's enough to verify that the identity holds in $q=1$, which it does.
Hint: Consider the function $$f(x) = \frac{1-q^x}{x q^x},$$ and express the inequality in terms of $f(x)$ and $f(1)$. Can you prove a property about $f$ that would imply the result?

Stumped on how to teach math? The Middle School Mathematics Institute is offering Saturday seminars for teaching math using the Singapore method. The half-day seminars (9 am-2 pm) are $20 and will help orient instructors to both the big picture goals of each year of elementary math instruction as well as the detailed methods and tasks used in individual lessons.
The next session is Saturday November 12 and it will focus on a general overview of what math children in elementary grades need to know to be prepared for Algebra 1, and then focuses on multiplication, division, fractions and decimals. The final session, scheduled for Saturday, January 14, will offer the same focus but for older students (5th grade and up, depending upon mathematical ability).
Each session will begin at 9 AM and end at 2 PM, and will consist of lecture and discussion, with ample time for questions and answers. There will be two 15-minute breaks and a 30-minute break for lunch. The location offers common space for lunch (not provided), plus kitchen amenities.
Seminars are held at CoCo Collaborative and CoWorking Space, Lowertown Saint Paul, 213 East Fourth Street, Suite 400 St. Paul, MInnesota 55101

The city of Hollywood, Fla., hosts an open house with equipment displays, information booths, and activities to help educate the community about its public works department. Photo: City of Hollywood
Does your department promote its services to the community?Of those surveyed, 69% of public works departments were actively promoting their services to their community. Small cities' public works departments are less likely to implement a marketing program—often due to limited resources. Source: PUBLIC WORKS.
The city of Indianapolis has developed a brochure introducing residents to the many services provided by the Indianapolis Department of Public Works. This brochure has proven to be their most effective marketing tool. Source: City of Indianapolis
Does your municipality/township/county have a public relations department?As community size increased, the percentage of entities with public relations departments increased. Although having a pubic relations department can help marketing efforts, many cities without communication departments are still finding ways to promote their services. Source: PUBLIC WORKS
Source: City of North Miami Beach
The city of North Miami Beach, Fla., distributes its annual consumer confidence report in a calendar or datebook format. This calendar, sent out in 2002, won an award from the EPA.
Some departments also conduct public works-related activities at fairs, open houses, or other organized events. The most widely used tool implemented at these events was an informational display. Other popular activities conducted at events were setting up public works booths at fairs/expos held by non-public works entities (53%), public works equipment displays/showcases (46%), and child-oriented contests/activities related to public works (43%). Other types of activities included public works-related competitions and safety demos/tips. Of those departments involved in public relations activities, 16% did not participate in any type of event.
Indianapolis has taken this technique to heart and developed a public works employee Olympics. "The employee Olympics is the kick-off event to National Public Works Week," said Smith-Simmons. "We have been holding the 'Olympics' for at least the last 10 years. The Olympics begin with an opening ceremony that is emceed by our director and is attended by our mayor, among others. Our event is held on Monument Circle—the most popular and picturesque location in downtown Indianapolis. It is also a very popular lunch destination in good weather so there are always a lot of onlookers. In addition, media releases are distributed and area businesses are notified and asked to come and participate and cheer for their favorite department of public works team."
The employee Olympics in Indianapolis consists of 10 teams with four employees (two men and two women) on each team. The games consist of a trash bag toss, 96-gallon tote games involving throwing tennis balls and water bottles into the totes, and a construction cone relay race.
Several respondents reported the offering of PR-related services, the most popular—chosen by 65% of respondents—is automated or staffed phone contacts for emergency or informational purposes. These calls can be used to notify residents of water repairs, disaster-related information, and special garbage-collection events. Tours of facilities were also offered by 48% of those who have a public relations program. Classroom visits and the distribution of public works-related educational materials for classrooms were provided by 42% of respondents. Radio announcements are used by 38% as a marketing tool.
For the city of Hollywood, Fla., classroom visits are only one of the many marketing tools used throughout the year. "All of our staff gets involved in about a dozen different outreach activities each year including presentations to homeowner associations and career days at schools," said Gregory Turek, public works department director for Hollywood. "Audiences are always amazed that our department is involved in so many different functions from maintaining coastal beaches to organizing recycling efforts."
Most public works departments subscribe to an Internet service to communicate and download information related to public works projects and services. The ability to set up a Web site is usually offered as part of this Internet service, and public works departments have found that they can make use of this benefit by posting public works-related information. This is supported by survey results that reported only 4% of all respondents did not have a Web site.
The survey showed that typical information provided on respondent Web sites included contact information (84%), explanation and hours of services (68%), project descriptions (58%), summary of operations (56%), and project updates (52%). Almost 40% of respondents provided forms for complaints/comments, 38% listed fees, and 29% offered bill-payment services online.
The manner of implementation and management of a government Web site can vary greatly from community to community. Some public works departments have staff dedicated to this task, while other departments assign the work to existing staff in addition to existing duties. Larger cities may operate the Web site through the public relations, public information, or information technology department.
For Indianapolis, Smith-Simmons said, "Each division and their respective sections were initially responsible for pulling together the appropriate information to be utilized in the new Web site design that was completed in August 2004. However, the public information office formatted and edited each completed page as appropriate and ultimately approved all pages on the Web site and continues to do so with all new additions. One of the assistant public information officers is responsible for the Web site, which includes updating, streamlining, adding links and pages, and making deletions and corrections."

The answer to all your questions depend entirely upon state law and you did not identify a state. Consult local counsel.

What state is this matter concerning?
Posted 20 November 2012 - 08:48 AM
I agree you must hire a local criminal defense lawyer to assist you. Do not attempt to represent yourself in this matter. There are too many long-term risks.

Did you change Internet Provider or your traffic plan and you want to make sure that they're offering you the service you're paying for? It's easier than you can imagine, you simply have to use SpeedTest.
SpeedTest is one of the many tools to test the speed connection, the most famous and complete one. It's free, extremly accurate and easy to use even for newbie users. It can used, beside on PC (you simply need a flash browser), on smartphones. There is how to test speed connection using it.
If you want to learn how to test speed connection, the first step you need to take is visit the Internet website of SpeedTest and click on the button BEGIN TEST. At this point, the service will start measuring the effective speed of your connection calculating the ping (latency), then the download and upload speed. Within a few seconds, you should have a summary screen like the one below, inside which will you find the values just mentioned.
As easly intuitable, high values as download and upload mean a good Internet connection, while the ping has to have a low value. Having a low latency, in fact, means having better performances in online games and in all those programs that require an "answer" from the server to work correctly.
To make sure the results are correct and true, before clicking on BEGIN TEST, close all other programs on your PC that require an Internet connection (eg all other tabs open on the browser, Skype, IM Programs, etc.). Not only on your PC, you should also disable the wi-fi on all those devices in your home that use it (eg your smartphone).
You can also personalize the units through which SpeedTest shows the results. You simply need to click on Settings located on the top-right and select the one you prefer between kilobits, kylobytes, megabits and megabytes from the drop-down menu Speed Measurement.
Would you like to test speed connection on your smartphone? Then I let you know that there is the official app of SpeedTest for iPhone and Android, which allows you to test your Internet connection in an extremly easy and fast way without using the PC, offering, aswell, the chance to track the progress made between the changes of plans.
To test the speed connection on iPhone or Android, download the official app of SpeedTest.net from App Store or Google Play, run the app and tap on Begin Test to start the test. As the previous case, it will first calculate the ping, then the download and lastly the upload speed.
Once you've gotten the results, you can see a recap of all the tests made with SpeedTest on your phone using the button RESULTS of the app, while tapping on SETTINGS you can decide the units to use between Mpbs and kB/s.

by Miriam Salpeter - Nov, 2012
News of events related to the scandal involving General David Patraeus and his affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell reminds us that even the powerful and successful succumb to poor professional judgment. What's one important lesson for "regular people" to learn? It appears as if inappropriate emails created a paper trail that led to this story breaking in the news. Some agencies reported that Patraeus and Broadwell might...

by Alexandra Levit - Nov, 2012
From humankind's earliest days, mentors and coaches have been a significant ingredient in the careers of many accomplished individuals. As they reported in Fast Company in 2006, Jim Bolt and Brian Underhill conducted a study that found that 56 percent of surveyed companies emphasized coaching as a major learning method, and two years later, 51 percent of the same organizations said that the use of coaching had increased....

Top 5 tips for your resume
by Hallie Crawford - Nov, 2012
Are you lost and unsure about your resume or cover letter? Here are 5 things to keep in mind when writing your resume: 1. Keep it short – Keep it at two pages or less. Most people hiring prefer one page, but two pages is okay if the content is appropriate. For example, someone who has had a longer career. 2. First Person Implied – As a rule, your resume should be written in first person implied. No, you don't want to...
"How Long Should My Resume Be?"
by Louise Fletcher - Nov, 2012
Of all the questions we get asked, this has to be one of the most common. For some reason, resume length is one of those things lots of people have a firm opinion on, but – to be honest – few have any real basis for that opinion. For example, there are many people who will tell you that your resume must be only one-page long. This is a myth (as I explain here) and should be ignored! Others – generally those over 50 – will...

Travel Apps That Can Save You Time and Money
Modern day travelers would be lost without the guidance of our trusty sidekick: the smartphone. Providing both instant access to valuable information and a place to organize their hectic schedules, our iPhones and Androids are one of the most popular tools for safe and effective traveling for businessmen and adventurists. But with so many apps to choose from these days, sometimes sifting through the broad range of options can be a time-consuming task for travelers on-the-go.
Crème de la Crème
To make things a bit less complicated, President Ted Florence of Avenza Systems suggested his top travel apps that help him speed through the airport, recommend the most comfortable seats on his international flights, and even track his travel expenses. By doing so, Florence gave insight to what apps the business travelers, CEO's and other executive heads are finding useful on a daily basis. In an age ruled by technology, this may be the soundest advice the common traveler can receive.
My TSA
Courtesy of the federal Transportation Security Administration, "My TSA" provides users 'round the clock access to frequently requested information, like a real-time operating status for U.S. airports from the Federal Aviation Administration. This tool reports updated statuses of security lines and approximate wait times, along with average flight delays at airports nationwide.
Users of the app can also enjoy 24/7 access to information like what items are permitted and prohibited in a carry-on or checked bag, ID requirements, advice on dressing and packing appropriately to speed through security, and even tips for military travelers. If the user cannot find the information he or she is looking for, they can simply click the "About" button on the main page of the app to directly reach the TSA Contact Center. My TSA is available for both Apple and Android mobile devices and tablets.
Avenza PDF Maps
Created by Florence himself, the entrepreneur was inspired to develop an efficient tool for international business travelers with the easiest solutions for mapping and navigation. For CEOs heading from Paris to Minsk to meet with clients, the PDF Maps app is a well-rounded solution for the use of GPS-enabled maps.
This allows users to use, discover and purchase maps to their devices, while running a backend store to facilitate the transaction and delivery of the maps. It's basically like iTunes for maps, with users able to browse the variety of free or inexpensive apps in the map store, and choose ones that best fit their travel purposes.
This comes in handy particularly for users who are traveling to remote destinations where data roaming can be very expensive or have no cell phone service. The app provides access to tourist, transit, parks, recreation and topographic type maps.
Once a map is selected, it's immediately delivered to the user's device and remains for use (even when the user is offline!) Rather than working on a wireless network, the maps function through the mobile device's current GPS and locational abilities. Avenza PDF Maps is available for Apple mobile devices and tablets.
This app is a must-have for any traveler dealing with a foreign currency exchange in their destination country. Through "Currency" users can obtain the most up-to-date exchange rates and quickly calculate between currencies. What's most appealing about the app are the reliable information and fair rates provided for users, alleviating the burden of visits to currency exchange booths upon arrival or overpaying for a foreign product or service.
With 128 currencies provided for over 180 countries, users are guaranteed accurate information for local money wherever they are. Editor Max Hartshorne has used this app many times and after being burned at many airport currency converter shops, he is glad that he had it. Currency is available for both Apple and Android mobile devices and tablets.
Created by Model Metrics, one of the nation's leading software technology and services companies, this app allows users to create expense reports during their international business travels that synchronize with Salesforce CRM from salesforce.com. The expense-reporting device lets users record all their expenses in one convenient place as business trips unfold. Through the app users can even capture photos of their receipts as an electronic copy. As a result travelers on the go can be worry-free about loose-leaf receipts bound to fly away in the midst of packing.
With an electronic database constantly at their fingertips, users can categorize expense items by date and type, which are then notated and exported to Salesforce through the app's integration feature. As Florence describes his experience with the app, "It helps me keep all my business expenses accurate, up-to-date, and most importantly, organized." Expense2Go is available for Apple mobile devices and tablets.
Through this app frequent travelers can find low airfares, pick their ideal seat, and get real-time flight alerts at their convenience. "SeatGuru" even recommends certain airlines for travelers, depending on their destination and time constraints.
With the website becoming such a hit for busy travelers seeking comfort and convenience, the company introduced a version accessible on-the-go, that lets users search for the seat map of any flight worldwide, providing a complete seat map that even includes the aircraft type and a quick breakdown of which seats to snag quickly and which to avoid. Think exit rows here.
Users can search by flight number, routing an airline. And with a built in flight status feature, travelers can even check to see if their flight is going to be on time or not.
This app is free, and available for both Apple and Android mobile devices and tablets.
This app provides real-time visual tracking of a flight's status so users can see it travel through the air. They can view a flight's exact location on a map, and also obtain step-by-step updates on the flight's status in a list form. Travelers using "FlightAware" have access to a tracking map of any commercial flight worldwide, and can track general aviation (private or charter) in the United States and Canada.
As Florence describes his experience with the app, "I find this to be indispensable when traveling on business, as many flights rely on the arrival of an incoming flight from somewhere else, and thus I can quickly find out where that incoming flight is at any moment and quickly ascertain if my outbound flight has a chance of being on time."
Users can search by aircraft route, registration, flight number, airline, airport code or city pair. The status of each flight includes flight details and full-screen maps with NEXRAD radar overlay. "FlightAware" will also disclose notifications for flight departure/arrival information, as well as cancellations, gate changes, delays, and diversions.
FlightAware is free, and available for both Apple and Android mobile devices and tablets.
For business travelers, learning even a little bit of another language can give you a huge strategic edge over your competition. The perfect app for this is Doki, an iPad application that provides language instruction in a cartoon setting. Using animation, the Doki program lets you hear foreign phrases commonly used by travelers. For example, one chapter in French is on booking a flight. www.dokispeak.com
These seven apps for mobile devices and tablets are incredible tools for making travel, whether it be business or leisure, more organized and care-free. With instant accessibility to flight statuses, suggestions for high-quality comfort, and useful information for travel destinations, these apps make smartphones a traveler's best friend.
For those looking to stay on top of a hectic travel itinerary, book a flight last minute, or simply be prepared these are what you need.

Bifold Louvered Doors
When using louvered doors as closet doors, a number of different configurations are possible. Probably the most common is the bi-fold, where an opening is divided into a left and right half. Each half-door is then comprised of two louvered panels that are hinged at two or three points along the stiles, and hung from an overhead track, with an optional base track. Estate Millwork can help you to quickly specify the dimensions of each slab for the bi-fold set, and assist with the purchase of the correct louvered door hardware.
Hinged Bifold Louvered Doors
An alternative configuration for a bi-fold unit is to hinge the outer leaves to the jamb, and hinge the inner louvered panel leaves to the outer leaves, optionally dispensing with both the over head and base track. Because our louvered doors are totally custom, the hardware and knobs can be ordered separately and field-installed. For larger jobs, we can pre-machine for the hardware.
Bypass Louvered Doors
For larger openings where access to only 1/2 or less of the closet is needed, multiple, larger door panels can be used that pass in front of and behind each other as they travel on overhead tracks, either to the left or the right. For double by-pass doors, each door should be ordered at slightly more than 1/2 the opening width, and the track length above is equal to the opening width. For larger openings, triple pass and quadruple pass configurations are possible as well. The main advantage of bypass doors is that fewer of them are required for a given opening as they can be much larger, but the disadvantage is that only a fraction of the opening can be accessed at one time. Another option for bypass doors is to mount them flush to the wall and let them slide past the openings on either side of the closet, but this requires ample clearance on both sides of the closet, as well as a surface mount and visible tracking system above the closet.

Bakersfield College women's basketball team beat Citrus to cap off their very first undefeated home record.
BC beat Citrus 75-64 on Feb. 11 to stay atop the Western State Conference. BC got 28 points from freshman forward Brittany Smith and 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists from sophomore guard Jausecca Cockeral.
BC got to a fast start building an 18-8 lead by outrebounding Citrus. They continued that run by building 34-23 lead at halftime.
When the second half started BC started slow and Citrus started to be more aggressive and got back in the game behind guard Brianna Barfield, who scored 17 of her 20 points in the second half.
"We did good in the first, but we just tightened up in the second half. They kept coming back and we were just playing not to lose," said BC coach Paula Dahl.
With BC leading 67-63 and only two minutes left in the game, Barfield was called for her fifth foul on a loose ball.
"She's a good player, so I think it was a big moment in the game when she fouled out," said Dahl.
BC outscored Citrus 8-1 to finish the game thanks to some clutch free throws.
"Our free throws helped us seal the win. The refs were calling an extremely tight game, so it was huge for us to keep making them," she said.
Dahl added that they're in first place in the WSC and as long as they win their final game they will get the conference title.
BC is scheduled to play their final game of the regular season at West L.A. on Feb. 18.

|Library & Collections
Some materials are housed off site in the Statewide Museum Collections Center. Please contact Library staff at least a week in advance of your visit to allow Staff time to bring requested items to the Library reading room. Library hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. The Library is closed on all state holidays and the Saturdays during Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends.
On May 2, 1981, the California State Railroad Museum opened to the public, as did the Museum Library. The library has been an integral component of CSRM since the project's inception. It was clear to the founders of the Museum that a thoughtfully assembled collection of published, manuscript, and pictorial materials would not only enhance the museum's services but also support its conservation and education programs. With this goal in mind, as railroad equipment and artifacts were gathered for study and exhibit, collections staff also acquired documentary materials to form the nucleus of the California State Railroad Museum Library.
The focus of the Library collection is the history of railroads and railroading in California and the adjacent states from the 1850s to the present. Collections also cover selected railroad topics throughout North America, including Canada, Mexico, and Central America. Emphasis is on acquiring materials relating to the social, economic, political, cultural, technological and environmental impacts that the industry has had, and continues to have, on the region.
The collection has been assembled primarily through donations from individual and corporate benefactors. Gifts range in size from a single menu to hundreds of cartons. The 1982 deposit of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society research collection expanded the Library's resources. The state and the non-profit California State Railroad Museum Foundation provide for the purchase of selected additions through an opportunity acquisition program.
Reference sources include a wide range of books, periodicals, railroad association and union publications, ephemera, government documents, and trade catalogues. The Library also collects manuscript materials and corporate records, photographs, maps and engineering drawings. See Library Collections for more detailed information about the Museum's documentary collections.
The California State Railroad Museum Library provides public access to the Museum's documentary collections. The Library is located adjacent to the Museum of Railroad History on the second floor of the Big Four Building at 111 "I" Street. The reading room is open to the public without charge Tuesday through Saturday from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Library collections do not circulate and are to be used only in the reading room.
The Library responds to approximately 5,000 requests each year. Our patrons include historians, genealogists, fiction writers, students of all ages, picture researchers, film makers, modelers, and members of the legal and environment-related professions.
To be certain the collection you want to see will be available, contact staff ahead of time.

PALO ALTO, Calif. – Fifth-ranked Stanford finally managed to halt third-ranked Washington's 13-match conference win streak tonight, handing the Huskies just their second loss of the year at Maples Pavilion to split the season series. Washington (23-2, 15-2 Pac-12) had a chance to clinch a share of the Pac-12 with a win tonight, but Stanford (21-5, 14-3 Pac-12) stayed very much in the hunt with a 25-19, 25-21, 25-22 victory.
It was Washington's first loss since a 3-1 defeat at Colorado on Oct. 4. That night in Boulder, the Huskies hit a season-low .135, and tonight was the only other time this season that UW was under .200, as the Huskies hit just .167 compared to .259 for the Cardinal. Tonight was also, amazingly, the first time all season that UW's opponent finished with more service aces, as the Huskies had just one to Stanford's three.
The Huskies were close late in all three sets, but Stanford played the late points better. In set one, the Huskies were down just 18-19, but Stanford finished on a 6-1 run. The second set was costly, as the Huskies were up 21-19, but the Cardinal won six straight points to close it out. In the third set, the Huskies battled back from an 11-16 deficit to tie it at 20-20, but Stanford finished on a 5-2 run to seal the win.
It was a tough night offensively for the Huskies, but reigning National Player of the Week Krista Vansant was strong again with a match-high 16 kills on a .306 attack percentage. Kaleigh Nelson had 12 kills but made eight errors to hit .125. No other Husky had more than four kills, while Stanford had five players with at least seven kills, led by a huge night from outside hitter Rachel Williams who had 11 kills on a .529 attack percentage.
Washington had one more block than the Pac-12's leading blocking team, as Melanie Wade had six block assists, and Lianna Sybeldon, Nelson and Vansant each had five. Jenna Orlandini had a team-best 11 digs and Jenni Nogueras passed out 21 assists.
The Huskies will have to bounce back as they remain in full control of their Pac-12 destiny, but a big match looms again on Friday at No. 23 California at 6:00 p.m.

Cancer kills. That's a fact. According to the American Cancer Society about 1,660,290 people were its victims last year. In California alone, there were 171,330 new cases of cancer reported in 2013.
Cancer affects everyone. It steals our loved ones and infects our children. The American Cancer Society estimates that cancer will attack 10,450 children between the ages of 0-14 and 5,330 adolescents ages 15-19 this year.
This writer has seen cancer up close and personal. Four years ago his fiancé, Jila, was diagnosed with stage 4-colon cancer. During that time she has fought valiantly undergoing three operations and biweekly doses of chemotherapy. Most people with her diagnosis live for two years. Jila's will to live and refusal to give in has inspired family, friends, and the hard working and compassionate nurses and doctors at the City of Hope where she has been treated.
This Saturday the Pierce College community plans on helping cancer victims like Jila. They will be joining over four million people in over twenty countries raise the much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from this dreaded scourge.
Pierce College Relay for Life will be held Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 9:00 AM at Pierce College—6201 Winnetka Ave, Woodland Hills, California. Click on the LINK to sign up or donate.
Fatema Baldiwala's Learning Skills class at Pierce College will be joining the Relay for Life event. Professor Baldiwala said, "If anyone donates $10.00 or more for my class's walk against cancer, David Nava, a talented artist in my class, will sketch their portrait." (See photo example.)
Baldiwala's class, Team Brahma has been touched by cancer. Team Captain, Crystal Klekel says, "At Relay for Life, our team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays."
Cancer sucks the life out of its victims. With the support of family, friends, and communities like Pierce College, and Professor Baldiwala's class, lives like Jila's will eventually face more birthdays and fewer visits to cancer research centers like the City of Hope.

Ed Brown Invites You Into His Back Room
The former Eighty One chef is doing intimate dinners at Ed's Chowder House.
A little over a month after Eighty One's closing, Ed Brown is the latest, after Camille Becerra, to keep busy by doing intimate dinners.

I selected the FE-250 because it is one of the few cameras in its size category that boast a 1/1.8" CCD (like the c-3000). Unfortunatly it was one of the lower performers of the several cameras that i went though in my selection process. Problems: Body was great looking but felt overly light and hollow.

eNews is an electronic newsletter regularly available from the European Topic Centre on Resource and Waste Management (ETC/RWM) as a source of information for Eionet.
The headlines of this issue of eNews are:
New ETC on SCP
The European Environment Agency has chosen a consortium led by the Danish Topic Centre on Waste to become the new European Topic Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production (ETC/SCP), the successor to the current European Topic Centre on Resource and Waste Management (ETC/RWM). The 5-year contract for the new ETC/SCP will run from January 2009 to December 2013. The consortium behind the new Topic Centre consists of:
Federal Environment Agency (Germany).
Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy
UNEP/Wuppertal Institute Collaborating Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production (CSCP)
The Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe
Institute of Economic Research on Firms and Growth (CERIS-CNR)
Lund University International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics
Environment Agency England and Wales
Each year a work plan (Implementation Plan) for the ETC will be developed based on the annual management plans of the EEA. The entire consortium team is looking forward to working in cooperation with the Eionet

11th Eionet Workshop
On 19th and 20th June 2008, the Topic Centre held its 11th annual Eionet workshop at the headquarters of the European Environment Agency in Copenhagen, Denmark. Representatives from 29 countries participated in the workshop along with representatives from the EEA and the EU Commission (including JRC and Eurostat); in all, 66 people took part in the workshop. All the presentations and background papers from the workshop, photographs from the group session, and the full proceedings are available on Circa.
The workshop took place over three sessions. The First Session centred around Outlooks to Priority developments in European Waste Policy and opened with a presentation by Jakub Wejchert ( DG Environment), outlining the new Waste Framework Directive and developments in EU waste and SCP policy. Two expert presentations followed: Mieke De Schoenmakere (OVAM, Belgium) covered the various tools and techniques employed in Flemish Waste Prevention Policy and; Inaki Susaeta (IHOBE, Spain) explained factors involved in the management of Construction and Demolition waste in the Basque region.
The aim of the Second Session was to discuss the future development of the existing country fact sheets on waste policies. These currently cover the EU-25, but will be expanded this year to include the new EU-27 and Norway, and include additional waste streams. A steered participatory session was used to better ascertain which additional waste streams the member countries felt they could gain the most from, and to receive more general input on how the fact sheets could be improved. Delegates were divided into three groups, within which separate focus was placed on presentation and content.
The main outcome was that expanding the fact sheets to include waste prevention policies would provide the most benefit for the Member Countries. The inclusion of Construction and Demolition waste and WEEE was also considered valuable, although the former would require considerably more effort. A method to ease the process of updating the sheets will also be sought alongside a review and improvement of the current internet presentation of the data.
The Third Session centred on developments in waste, resources and sustainable consumption and production in Europe, with a concluding discussion on the role of Eionet and the ETC/SCP over the coming years. Birgit Munck-Kampmann and Lars Mortensen presented the highlights and main findings of the Topic Centre's projects on Waste and SCP respectively. The focus of the Third Session then shifted from policy to data. Raffaella Bersani (JRC) gave a presentation on scientific support to life-cycle thinking in relation to the Waste Framework Directive, followed by Almut Reichel (EEA) presenting an introduction to the Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS). Karin Blumenthal (Eurostat) rounded off the afternoons presentations with a detailed look at the roles and development of the three new Data Centres on Waste, Resources and Products.
The Workshop was concluded with a short round-table discussion on the role of the Topic Centre and how it, together with the EEA, could best meet the needs of the member countries in the field of waste, resources and SCP.

West Balkan CARDS Project
The Topic Centre, under contract to the EEA, is currently carrying out a project focused on the West Balkan. The project will bring together representatives from the Eionet and the National Statistical Offices in a workshop in order to discuss issues related to waste data and waste reporting obligations (Waste Statistical Regulation). The focus of the workshop will be on current work in this area within the countries, as well as a discussion on the current and future activities in the EEA/ETC that are important to the countries, including SEIS, the Data Centre on Waste, the country fact sheets on waste policies and the new ETC on SCP.
The country representatives will also be asked to provide a brief update of their current national status regarding waste data and the implementation of waste data collection systems. Representatives will also be asked to present donor projects concerned with waste data and reporting obligations in the West Balkans
The workshop will take place on Thursday 6 -7 November 2008 in Copenhagen.

Country Fact Sheets on SCP Policies
As a part of the joint EEA ETC/RWM project Country fact sheets on SCP policies, the ETC/RWM has developed a Conceptual Framework on SCP Policies. This work is based on a combination of our previous work on the topic, a literature review, and preliminary information collection in selected countries, and maps the scope we would like to cover with the SCP fact sheets in the long term.
A number of selected national experts in EEA member countries and relevant experts of the European Commission have been invited to provide input and guidance on this conceptual framework.
The objectives of this informal consultation are to:
The informal consultation will take place in September and October 2008. Pilot fact sheets are being developed for Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, France and the UK during 2008. It is expected that draft fact sheets will be ready for country consultation in December 2008.
The long term goal of the ETC/RWM project on SCP policy fact sheets is to provide up-to-date information in a structured format on SCP policies in European countries.
It is intended that the fact sheets should:

Eionet consultation of landfill study
The Topic Centre has carried out a policy effectiveness assessment of waste management policies in different countries in recent years. The completed studies will be available for download from the ETC/RWM soon.
The aim of this project is to evaluate national waste management policies in selected countries in the context of the Landfill Directive and other relevant EU waste policies, and to evaluate the results of these policies in diverting municipal waste from landfill. The objective is to reach conclusions on whether, and how, the existing EU policy framework acts as a driver for strategic change in waste management at the national level. In particular, the study will analyse policies in relation to their impacts on the diversion of total municipal waste and biodegradable municipal waste (BMW) from landfill.
The final report based on the individual country studies, Diverting waste from landfill: Effectiveness of national waste policies related to the Landfill Directive, will be published in early 2009 after broad consultation with participating countries via the Eionet and other organisations.

Should you find yourself in New York in need of relief and sanctuary, consider heading to the Art Deco twin towers of the Waldorf=Astoria. With a fabled history filled with illustrious characters (Marilyn Monroe lived there, as did songwriter Cole Porter), the Waldorf=Astoria has been, for years, synonymous with grandeur and glamour – and it's fitting that the first Guerlain Spa outside of Paris is housed on the 19th floor of the Waldorf Towers.
Reopened in 2011 after a stunning renovation, Guerlain Spa is a white marble sanctuary high in the sky overlooking Park Avenue. Elevators open onto a lavish reception area, illuminated by hanging crystals and soothing water. The 14,000 square-foot space features 15 treatment rooms, as well as fully-appointed wet therapy suites.
With private treatment suites as large as some studio apartments in Manhattan, Guerlain Spa is a sensory oasis of calm and serenity – and indulgence. Signature Guerlain treatments include 5-Senses Hydrotherapy and Impèriale Relaxing Massage, as well as signature facials such as Abeille Royal Expert Treatment and Orchidée Impèriale.
Treatment rooms feature a private bathroom, a walk-in shower with a rainforest showerhead, and a built-in wardrobe. Flowering orchids and music further the illusion of a private retreat.
The four-step, 80-minute Abeille Royal Expert Treatment utilizes Guerlain's Abeille Royale skincare line, notable for its ability to restructure and tighten the skin. Abeille Royale is formulated with Pure Royale Concentrate, which is a blend of more than eight types of honey, including a French royal jelly from a sustainable Guerlain farm in France that raises the rare black honey bee.
The treatment commences with a gentle cleansing peel that helps prepare the skin for the Abeille Royale Serum. The second step is a healing massage with "heating stamps," which are similar to sachets of herbs that have been warmed to release botanical essences that are beneficial to the skin. During the third step, the Abeille Royale Serum is applied to fine lines and wrinkles, which is then followed by the application of Abeille Royale Cream.
Guerlain Spa is also known for its signature foot massage, which is offered to clients before the commencement of any treatment – as is a warm paraffin treatment for hands and forearms.
As might be expected of a skincare company borne of the love of fragrance, Guerlain Spa is an olfactory paradise. As you lie on the table, your face enveloped in a bouquet of rare and natural ingredients, your nose leads you on a fragrant journey.
As in yoga, where everything is about the fluidity and flow between asanas, so, too, does Guerlain Spa smooth the transitions between the idyll and the real. As you ease back into the world you left behind, you'll find yourself rejuvenated and relaxed – and more radiant than before. A lagniappe of freshly-baked macarons insures that a smile remains on your face as you head home.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bamagal Excellent Value! After shopping other websites and locally, I found this outdoor rug pad to be the best quality for the money. It is thick and well made. The design lets my outdoor rug breathe. I live in the South where humidity can be high for long periods, and mold can be a concern. With this rug pad, my rug dries out quickly, and it prevents mold and mildew from setting up. Highly recommend for all outdoor rugs. August 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jMay colorful I bought this rug to place inside my house by the doorway. Not only is it colorbul, but I figured since it's sold as an outdoor rug, it would hold up well. It's rich looking and I really like it! September 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BettyX4 Beautiful rug When I unwrapped this rug (I got the runner) I could not believe it was for the outdoors! It looks and feels like wool. Very attractive. I will be using it inside by the back door so I think it will need a rug pad. Love it. January 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by janeelizh Great look - ok quality I have an older 1920's home with an enclosed front porch that just needed a little something to spruce up the small area. I purchased this rug in 5 X 8 almost a year ago and it was exactly what I was looking for to update the space! I love the colors and look of the rug, however it snags easily and has faded a bit (to be expected.) The porch doesn't get much foot traffic so the snagging was a bit unexpected! June 13, 2016

A passionate and page-turning saga about two murders that change three lives over several decades in Provincetown, MA, The Orphans of Race Point (Harper Perennial, $15.99) is a novel of suspense and betrayal, and a gorgeous and unforgettable love story.
What better choice to read during the last daze of summer . . .on a beach? Race Point perhaps?
Nine-year-old Hallie Costa is growing up on Cape Cod when a crime shakes their close knit Portuguese community. The captain of the town's most prolific fishing boat has strangled his wife, leaving behind a solitary witness: their son, Gus. The traumatized boy remains mute until Hallie shows up with her version of a cure: two fish Gus must keep alive, and a copy of David Copperfield. Thus begins a lifelong, almost mystical bond that will evolve from childhood friendship to passion, and finally to a deeper love that will ask more of them than they ever imagined.
Spanning three decades, The Orphans of Race Point tells an epic story about two people whose love for each other survives time and fate. And, in its powerful conclusion, offers the surprise of redemption. Patry Francis has penned a gem.
If you are looking for one of those romance novels whose characters and plot will be forgotten as your turn pages, opt for a book to educate (and entertain) you: The Duchamp Dictionary (Thames & Hudson, $29.95).
Duchamp (1887-1968) is considered to be the most influential artist of the 20th century. One hundred years ago he revolutionized how we look at and think about art with his invention of "the readymade." In the new millennium, in addition to the great allure he holds for many contemporary artists worldwide, Duchamp has entered popular mainstream with increasing force. Until now though, writing on his work has been primarily academic.
The Duchamp Dictionary breaks through the impenetrable vocabulary of most of the writing on Duchamp to explore his life and work through short, alphabetical dictionary entries. From alchemy and anatomy to Warhol and windows, Thomas Girst's engaging and highly researched text is underpinned by in-depth scholarship and the very latest research. The eclectic, amusing and always informative entries include anatomy, art market, bicycle wheel, boredom, breasts, chance, cheese, chess, chocolate, collecting, Dada, death, drugs, Max Ernst, eroticism, lovers, Man Ray, R Mutt, Nude Descending, optics, smoking, Surrealism, vanity, X-Ray.
A true work of art!
