Author has written 2 stories for Harry Potter.Hello and thanks for looking at my profile! I really don't have much to tell you except I'm a disgruntled American living through this year's Presidential Race. I hate Bush and want Snape to be our President ;)
Anywho, on to the more serious stuff. I'm a fan of many different genres, including Harry Potter, Buffy, Underworld, Van Helsing, As The World Turns, ect. I would list them all but I'm too lazy to.
My favorite characters from my favorite genres are: CarJack, Lusty, Snape, Lucius, Draco, Ron, Remus, ect. Once again, I'm not going to list all of them.
Oh! And I hate Hilary Duff and Ashlee Simpson. If Snape were president, he'd hang them =P
And one last thing, check out this story I co-authored with ScruffyWeasley. It rocks! :D Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1858042/1/

WORKSHOP: How to do a website on a budget?
If you're a published author, soon to be published or even thinking about being published , then you should have a website. No one thought the World Wide Web would be used in the capacity it's being used now. Well, correction, some folks did (smile).
There's no excuse for NOT having a website. If you're unsure of how you want your website to look, I suggest surfing the net. Go to www.google.com and enter in a few authors names to get an idea.
If you're unable to hire a web designer to create your home on the web, then do it yourself.
If creating a website scares you, then halt. Take a few deep breaths. Breathe. If you have yahoo, AOL or any one of the many other internet providers, then you have access to creating a website. Bravenet (http://www.bravehost.com/), Angelfire(http://www.angelfire.lycos.com), GeoCities (http://geocities.yahoo.com/), or Homestead (http://www.homestead.com/) offer free or low costing web space with handy tutorials.
As an author, you need to choose a domain name. What is a domain name? It's an identifier or the information you type in your web browser to pull up a website. For example, if you want to pull up the Shades of Romance website, you will enter the domain www.sormag.com. The most important thing to remember when deciding on a domain name (your new website address) is to choose something that is easy for your current and future readers to remember.
For example, if your name is Jane Doe, then use the domain www.janedoe.com. There will be instances where your name is already taken and you might have to add an initial or some other identifier. Some authors use there book title as their website address. This is fine if you plan on that being the only book you'll publish or if you can have it forward to your main website (i.e., www.janedoe.com).
Once you purchase your domain name, it's yours for the allotted time. You can buy it yearly or whatever terms you and the provider set up. In the past, I've seen it for as low as $2.95. The price will depend on the web host site you choose.
There are so many sites that offer web services and it's easy to get lost and frustrated while trying to find the one for you. Here's a website that I hope will make it easier for you. The page identifies the web space and price: http://www.mysitespace.com/compare.asp.
Thank goodness there is software out there that doesn't require you to know HTML. Frontpage is one of them. I use it constantly and it's simple. You can create your page in Microsoft Word and paste it directly into Frontpage. If you have Microsoft Office, Frontpage may already be on your computer.
What should you include on your web site once you've decided on your domain name and web server? At the minimum, make sure the following are included:
Book Information (Title, price, where to purchase your book, sample chapter, etc)
How to Contact You (Email or contact sheet)
Mailing List
Guest Book
I've been doing my own website for quite some time now. If I can do it, you can too. My website is www.sheliagoss.com. Take a look around and check out the headings.
One day I'll turn over the reign to someone else, but in the meantime, I'm always trying to come up with different looks. What you see today will probably be different six months from now.
Remember, having your own website doesn't have to cost much, you just have to shop around.
1st Assignment: If you have a website, post it here. If you don't have a website, and at the minimum, sign up for one of the free websites.
2nd Assignment: Visit workshop participant websites and take a look around. Be sure to drop them a note in their guestbook, so the'll know you were there.

I've had a web presence I've done myself since 1997, up continuously without interruption.
I obtain my domain names at http://domainrooms.com. They are $8.95 a year, have been in business for years with 24 hour support. There is a feature called Website tonight, where for a few dollars a month (which includes hosting) you can easily put up a professional looking site, choosing out of hundred-plus looks.
There's a special ending in October that if you buy any other product you can get a domain name for $1.99.
http://websiterooms.com has tons of great options for websites, including some really great looking Flash ones, you'd pay thousands for.

Saundra 180,
If you want to do your own website, go to the websites listed in the article(bravehost/angelfire/geocities/homesteads) and see which ones offer the most reasonable price for setting up a webpage, which would include getting your own "domain" name. Those sites have tutorials tht help you set up your page. If you are unfamiliar with html, one of the sites above is more beneficial, because they usually have tutorials or easy ways to upload your information.
Put your website on business cards that you hand out to people. Don't forget to include your new website in your email signature. When you visit message boards or guestbooks, there's usually a place to include websites, so enter it there.

Van Dyck portrait returns home to Hampton Court Palace
A beautiful portrait of Princess Mary (1631 - 1660), the eldest daughter of Charles I, by Anthony van Dyck, has been saved for the nation and will return to the palace where it appears to have hung in the last days of the reign of the sitter's ill-fated father. The portrait of Mary, Princess Royal, later Princess of Orange and mother of William III, has been acquired by the nation through the Acceptance in Lieu Scheme and allocated to Historic Royal Palaces and will go on display at Hampton Court Palace from Thursday 12 February 2009.
The Acceptance in Lieu scheme, administered by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA), on behalf of the government, enables items deemed to be of historical or artistic importance to be given in place of inheritance tax.
This painting, dated to around 1637, shows Princess Mary at the age of five or six, wearing a rich silver-laced gown and pearl headdress, standing before a classical column and ornate gold damask curtain.
The portrait of Mary is thought to have hung at Hampton Court whilst Charles I was under house arrest at the palace during the English Civil War. In August 1647, the King was captured and confined to the palace but accommodated in relative comfort. He was allowed his own servants, the palace furnishings were improved for him, and paintings were brought down from Whitehall for his pleasure. On the evening of 11th November 1647, however, the King tricked his jailers and escaped to a boat that was waiting to ferry him to supposed asylum on the Isle of Wight. He left behind a note to the palace's commander, Colonel Edward Whalley, thanking him for his kindnesses and asking that this painting, "the Originall of My Eldest Daughter [which] hangs in this chamber over the board next the Chimney which you must send to my Lady Aubigny." The painting went with Lady Aubigny, an active Royalist supporter, when she fled to The Hague after the King's execution in 1649. It is recorded in a Dutch inventory in 1654 and remained in various continental collections until it appeared on the London art market in 1967 when it was bought by Van Dyck expert Sir Oliver Millar, from whose estate it has now been accepted in lieu.
From 12 February 2009, this portrait will be displayed next to a copy of a Van Dyck portrait depicting Princess Mary's father, Charles I, in King William III's State Apartments at Hampton Court Palace.
MLA Chair Andrew Motion said: "This is a very beautiful painting, and a very important part of our historical and cultural heritage; it's wonderful to see it back in Hampton Court Palace, where it once hung, this time to be enjoyed by all. The return proves once again that the Acceptance in Lieu scheme is a vital means of enhancing collections across the country; the many notable items acquired for the nation through this scheme add enormously to the cultural experiences we can all enjoy."
Sebastian Edwards, Head of Works of Art at Historic Royal Palaces, commented: "I am thrilled that we can welcome this enchanting painting to Hampton Court Palace after 360 years. The portrait of the young Princess Mary by the great painter Van Dyck will be given a prominent place in her son William III's magnificent Baroque palace at Hampton Court, hung together with a portrait of her beloved father, King Charles I. We hope that this beautiful portrait of a child princess and her moving story will delight visitors to the palace both young and old."
Culture Minister Barbara Follett said: "This is a beautiful painting with a fascinating story and has quite rightly been returned to its former home. The Acceptance in Lieu scheme encourages gifts of cultural value and preserves aspects of our heritage for the nation. I am certain this new addition to the
collections at Hampton Court Palace will give many visitors pleasure and insight into their history."

Chapter Fourteen: Faces in Charcoal
CHAPTER FOURTEEN: Faces in Charcoal
"Last day," thought Aoife as she sat up. It was the second day of September, and the next day they were travelling back home to Pentingdon, to be ready for school later in the week.
She felt sad to be leaving this wonderful place and possibly not returning after her honeymoon in November; sad because her wonderful summer was nearly over. Sad to be saying goodbye to Élodie and her sisters for some months to come; sad that she was saying goodbye to an era in her life – the era of being strong for her younger cousins, to which she had been accustomed for some years without regret; sad because she would not see Vinzent for the ensuing week, as he would be arranging for his stored furniture to be shipped to England and installed in the pretty cottage where they would begin their life together.
Yet she was also happy; happy because this holiday had given her valuable friends and experiences; happy that Delia was so well now and the family had bonded together again; happy to have rediscovered the joys of closest family in the unexpected arrival of her parents and brother; happy because now she was rich with the pure friendship and sincere honesty around her. The Achensee had opened her eyes, deepened her character, enhanced her inner and outer beauty.
She went down the stairs in a sober mood. It would be good to get a last painting session in today. But no; there was the packing, and the children would certainly demand a final expedition. Never mind. Putting one's own wishes aside was something Aoife had mastered years ago – perhaps even from the event of her birth.
She had been forced to occupy herself for hours in her early years, when her parents lost track of time in the throes of their painting. They scarcely noticed if she went to a friend's house or to the cinema, or rode her bike to the sweet shop a mile or two away. They scarcely cared when she struggled for hours trying to do her maths homework or, when she was smaller, tried for minutes to open a packet of crisps before she surrendered, and toddled off to find the scissors in the second drawer down beside the kitchen sink. They did not notice what time she went to bed, or how she managed to get to school on time every day, or when she made her own dinner in the week. Their strictest rule was quiet when they were working in the studio, and the second strictest was family dinner on Sundays, a decree which had been enforced in the Thimble families for generations.
She had lacked that crucial supervision, and if she had not been a good, responsible child, and had been allowed to continue in that way for her teen years, she would doubtless have turned out to be an independent rebellious horror.
So coming into the household of her cousins, where she was truly loved and where there was never a moment of boredom, where everything was closely monitored, it was sometimes stressful and busy and confined and she missed the ambiguous presence of her inattentive parents – but most of the time Aoife cried because she was so happy.
She had no difficulty in pushing away her own wants. She knew from experience that it was more pleasurable to give in and do the activity favoured by her companions than to make a fuss and live in guilt for the lengthy duration of the excursion.
What mattered was spending time together and talking and laughing and having a good, profitable time. Aoife knew that. If only everyone did. But then no one would ever make any real decisions. Or would they? Aoife also knew that there were certain things not to pass, certain things to believe in whatever the odds, certain things that truly were important not to merely grin and shrug at.
Oh, the world! What without diversity? And knowledge! Who knew everything? What had the perfect balance of everything? Aoife was happy with the way she was with a good degree of modesty, but she knew she was not ideal. She was not perfectly balanced. But if everything were perfectly balanced, wouldn't everything cancel out and x equal nought?
Aoife shook her head. She did not possess a mathematical brain, but that strangely fascinating observation was a favourite one of her friend Alicia, who was an imagination-less scientist and mathematician, and Aoife couldn't help but wonder if maybe she was right and the perfect people were really nothing. Aoife thought the Buddhist belief of enlightenment was an empty oblivion. Nirvana was meant to be perfect. So was perfection really a vacuum, a false belief, an airless void, a thoughtless illusion? Was perfection really defined by imperfection, the faults and the flaws of the loved and valued?
She didn't know. She didn't even want to know. There was never enough time for thinking hard or deep enough to reach the answers, and even then, wouldn't they be empty and useless – like enlightenment, the Void of Needlessness?

When it comes to outsourcing their operations, manufacturing companies have several options. Each opportunity is different and has its own set of advantages. Whether it's automotive, medical device, electronics production or another industry, Mexico is one of the most popular locations for both offshoring and nearshoring businesses. Let's take a look at the two practices and how they're beneficial for manufacturers operating in Mexico:
Nearshoring refers to the practice of moving portions of a company to a nearby location, sometimes across national borders. This destination often shares a border with the manufacturer's own region or country. The process of nearshoring is not without its benefits, but Rita Gunther McGrath, associate professor at Columbia Business School, believes the U.S. will recover as a manufacturing hub - especially as it becomes less cost efficient to manufacture in China. While the country was once the premier place for businesses to relocate to, increasing inflation and wage expectations altered that standing. Nearshoring to closer locations, like Mexico, is more attractive and advantageous to manufacturers, specifically those in the United States. Here are some of the benefits according to IT Today:
- Reduced differences in time zones: Virtual teams no longer have to worry about the time difference when attempting to make easy fixes and there is an improved time-to-market schedules. In addition, the workforce is more stable and satisfied.
- Night shifts could be eliminated: It's easier for outsourced employees to experience burnout if their primary hours are at night. Getting rid of this shift will improve quality and worker retention, as people will be less likely to search for other jobs with better schedules.
- In-person meetings: The proximity of the original company and the nearshoring location allows company staff and outsourced developers to meet and work together face to face.
- Intellectual property protection: As manufacturers continue to develop innovative ideas and products, they need a home where those concepts are sheltered from outside influence, claim of ownership or duplication. Intellectual capital is less likely to be stolen in nearshoring locations.
- Proximity to customers: Outsourcing to a location far away from the main source of production could be detrimental to a business's profits. Manufacturers rely on customers within their vicinity to increase their reach, so nearshoring allows these companies to stay close to their client base.
Nearshoring is just one option for manufacturers. These companies also have the option to outsource their operations a little further from home.
"Both nearshoring and offshoring offer manufacturers many benefits."
Offshoring refers to outsourcing that takes place across national borders, often to a more distant country where production is significantly cheaper. According to Udemy, 53 percent of manufacturing companies take advantage of this opportunity. Similar to nearshoring, offshoring has some benefits for organizations to partake:
- Large pool of skills: Certain countries tend to be better for specific industries. For example, India has a large English-speaking population, making it a strong location for outsourcing business processes like customer service. Companies can choose the destination for their business by understanding what countries offer the types of skills they require.
- Less expensive labor: This is a well-known advantage of offshoring, as manufacturers are usually able to pay outsourced workers less.
Mexico is a prime location for both
Manufacturers have a multitude of locations to choose from when deciding to offshore or nearshore portions of their operations. While the criteria for selecting a location differs depending on a company's industry and needs, Mexico is a popular destination for businesses from around the world. The country offers many advantages for manufacturers that choose it for their production. Here are four:
- Proximity to the U.S.: Mexico is just south of the U.S., making it a perfect nearshoring location for American manufacturers looking to reduce their costs while keeping production close to home. Offshoring businesses can also benefit from Mexico's closeness to the U.S. by using the country's infrastructure to export goods to America.
- Participation in free-trade agreements: Mexico has access to over 60 percent of the global gross domestic product as a result of the country's participation in 10 FTAs with 45 different countries, 32 Reciprocal Investment Promotion and Protection Agreements with 33 countries, 9 trade agreements within the framework of the Latin American Integration Association and recent membership in the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. Participation in the North American Free Trade Agreement may be the most advantageous for Mexico, allowing the country to export products cheaply and save money from reduced tariffs on particular items.
- Intellectual property security: One of the main concerns with offshoring for manufacturers is protection of intellectual capital. Intellectual property is protected in Mexico and the country's government took steps to ensure the courts respect and enforce these laws. NAFTA also protects certain IP, including data copyright, trademarks, patents, industrial designs and many more.
- Skilled labor: Mexico boasts a large educational infrastructure, with around three million people enrolled in postsecondary learning, according to World Education News and Reviews. Labor and manufacturing costs are considerably lower in Mexico than in China or the U.S. For example, it is 4 percent cheaper to operate in Mexico than in China, the South China Morning Post found. Furthermore, the country frequently invests in education to make sure all future employees have the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in the plethora of manufacturing jobs.
It can be a difficult decision for manufacturers to decide to move their operations elsewhere. However, while the choice may be challenging, both offshoring and nearshoring offer companies substantial benefits. The selection of location is dependent on the business, but Mexico is a prime location for manufacturers of several industries, including medical devices, automobile, energy, aerospace and many others. With skilled labor, its proximity to the U.S. and participation in free-trade agreements, more manufacturers should consider Mexico when choosing their nearshoring and offshoring destination.

July - September, December - January
The driest months in Rwanda are between July and September and from December to January. The rains tend to fall between April and May and then again from October to November. However, trekking for gorillas involves entering the rainforests so you need to be prepared to get wet and muddy most of the year.

As paid work and personal commitments keep me more than busy, my time for contributions to Forgotten Alberta has been nearing non-existent.
However, despite the fact I haven't had an original thought in months, I have been honoured to have my previous works featured in a couple of Alberta publications during the past month.
Alberta Views magazine featured my piece on Dr. Alexander Scott of Bassano, renowned as Western Canada's first flying doctor, in the November issue. You can read the original Prairie Post column here.
The Oyen Echo also ran my vignette on Cavendish casualty, Pte. John Harold Fenton, on the cover of their Nov. 8 edition. Check out the original here. Thank you to David McKinstry for making this happen.
I was also fortunate to be asked to contribute several articles to the most recent Lomond and District History Book, most of which are based on posts and articles originally published on this site. In the coming weeks I will republish some of these, the first being an updated history of the C.P.R.'s ill-fated Suffield Subdivision.

good job
Anthony did great job for a fair price. Next time I will definetely ring ahead to check he will be in the garage before setting out.
Perfect job without any additional cost. On time with the good price. One of my head light was not working. They fix it without any additional cost. Definitely I will use this garage in the future. Highly recommended.
Could Never Recommend this Garage - Agreed price was £50 for diagnosing issue. Then Anthony said he could recalibrate lock if he had an extra 3hrs. They closed in 30mins when I collected car he wanted £150. He said he recalibrated lock however it was gauranteed to fail! So why recalibrate? Started car no lights, worse experience ever..stay well clear.
Actual part was £170 and labour £60. Very friendly fellow, Anthony, completed a relatively simple job quickly and without fuss. Very pleased.
Anthony was fantastic. Can't recommend him enough!
Anthony from apollo was a Very nice person, excellent service great price. 100% doing business with him again
Very happy with the service. Anthony was efficient and honest on the price. I totally recommend him.
Great service. Anthony was able to do the repair in the time sir we had arranged. Much easier with someone who can come to fix the car rather than taking to a garage.
Great job, good price. Very happy.
Crap crap crap! Took the car for head gasket and left with a load of other issues that were never resolved. Then asked for diagnosis which Ade offered to do free of charge And after driving one minute down the road the car was nearly breaking down. He then turned round and said I didn't pay for diagnosis hence why problems weren't diagnosed. The price was good but job was bad! Don't know how he has any good reviews or maybe he isn't skilled with doing bigger jobs and fixing them properly. I don't know what mechanic can't successfully diagnose what's wrong with a car And leaves the customer with broken car. Waste of £352 and now have to take it elsewhere and pay money again. Wouldn't recommend to anyone! Don't be fooled by cheap price. Will have to take to small claims court to get money back if another garage confirms head gasket not done properly
No body could help
They did a really really good job, so I brought my van in aswell and they did a great job on that too.
Lovely guys and great service all round. I would definitely go back again!

About Penn State Nittany Lions Autographed Helmets
Bryant Andrew Johnson is a professional football player for the Detroit Lions in the NFL. He originally played for the Arizona Cardinals when he was drafted by the team in the 2003 NFL Drafts. He also played at some point with the San Francisco 49ers.
He went to the Baltimore City College high school where he was an all-around athlete excelling not only in football but also in basketball and track. He was part of the all-state first-team and was Offensive Player of the Year at the 1998 Baltimore Touchdown Club. In the same year, Johnson helped steer his track team to victory at the Penn Relays.
During his college career, he was a star wide receiver for the Penn State Nittany Lions football team. He was a starter during his last two years at school and became the sixth player in the team history to catch more than 100 passes. His 2,008 career receiving yards record is the second best all-time record for the team. He graduated in 2005 with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the Pennsylvania State University.
After being drafted by the Cardinals in 2003, Johnson played third option receiver/slot receiver, a position he played for three years. He played alongside Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald. When the season ended that year he made a total of 35 passes, third overall receptions made by a rookie with fellow rookie Boldin topping the list. In 2006, he was able to make a touchdown off a 5-yard pass of Kurt Warner at the University of Phoenix Stadium. During his five-year stay with the team he made a total of 210 passes for 2675 yards plus 9 touchdowns.
In 2008, he played for the San Francisco 49ers where he signed a 1-year deal march of that year. He was able to make 45 receptions for 546 yards as well as three touchdowns. That was his fifth continuous season making 40+ receptions.
Then in 2009, after finishing his contract with the 49ers, Johnson signed a 3-year contract with the Detroit Lions amounting to $9 million dollars.

Should I get it back? I don't know. When I Springified sitemap components I just assumed that it would be a good idea to keep the Avalon configurability so that people doesn't need to change their sitemaps. But I'm not sure that it is worthwhile. Maybe it is better to provide some kind of update guide. I would guess that most 2.1.x users has an enourmous amount of standard configured sitemap components in their main sitemap that is taken from the sample webapp. These configurations could just be removed in 2.2, the configurations included in the blocks will do the job. What is more complicated are the sitemap components where users has customized configurations in sub sitemaps, here we need to provide migration instructions. So the question is: should we keep the configurations basck compatible or should we ask users to update their configurations? WDYT? > 1.

CCM952 to a bauer skate
The blades on my 952's a wareing down as I have hade the skates for 7 years,but rather then spending 60$ or so to get new blades I think I am just going to get a cheep pare of Bauer as I don't play as much any more.My question is will I notice a big difference in feel?some have told me in the past that Tucks have a much more level feel,and that CCM skate frames make you feel as thow you are playing on you toes I this true?I did not seem to feel as thow I was on my toes,but I have never used Bauers.
Pro lite 3 and LS2s(off the top of my head, and at 5am, I just don't recall about the custom+) both are neutral holders but the boot of the CCM will put you more on your toes and the Bauers will be more on your heels. Takes time to adjust, I adjusted just fine after a few ice times. The problem will be fit, the only skates that will fit similar are the supremes(30/50/70) or the flexlites. The Supremes will be a bit tighter and the flexlites will be a hair wider. Try the skates on before you make the plunge.
RBKs are the closest fit to the Tacks, the only difference is that the heel is slightly wider.
I switch from Bauer 4000's to CCM 652's a very long time ago and hated the transition. My entire skating ability was thrown out of alignment. I went right back and bought a pair of 7000's and then Vapor XX's right after that and never looked back. I would suggest you stick with CCM.
My brother used vapors for a year broke them and went with with vectors 6.0 and about 2 months ago realized why his feet were killing him and it was that CCM makes there boot not as wide as bauer does and when he switched he felt no more discomfort or anything. i have always used a bauer skate and love them. the bauer one30 i got for 120 and best deal i got on a skate.
the tacks are about the same width of the supreme 30/50/70, but a good amount wider than the vapors or supreme one90. The new vapors have a wider toecap than last years, so now they fit a wider range of skaters(properly).

"Their's is a mismanagement of a different kind. International crude prices are not going up in the manner in which our (fuel) prices here are going up," Advani told reporters here.
Oil companies yesterday raised petrol prices by Rs 1.80 per litre, citing the impact of rupee depreciation on the cost of crude oil imports.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today admitted the hike in petrol prices will have some impact on inflation, which is currently hovering close to the double-digit mark.
Soon after the hike was announced last night, BJP had alleged that the hike was yet another act of midnight deceit by the UPA and insisted that the common man would not spare the dispensation led by the economist Prime Minister for its arrogance.

The board of directors has voted to update the Initial Piercing Jewelry standard to include rose gold:
The "Jewelry for Initial Piercing" standard has been updated to include rose gold. This change was made after input provided by a workgroup at Camp APP, as well as consultation with major gold manufacturers and input from our membership. Please review the updated standard below:
Χρυσός (κίτρινο, άσπρο, or rose) is appropriate for initial piercings if it is solid 14k or 18k, alloyed for biocompatibility, and free from nickel or cadmium. Χρυσό υψηλότερο από 18κ είναι πάρα πολύ μαλακό για κοσμήματα σώματος, επειδή μπορεί εύκολα να γρατσουνιστεί ή χαρακώσει. Gold lower than 14k, gold plated, επίχρυσο, ή την υπέρθεση χρυσό / Επίχρυσο κόσμημα δεν είναι αποδεκτή για τα νωπά διαπερνήσει.

- Στερεά 14 καράτιο ή περισσότερο νικέλιο λευκό ή κίτρινο χρυσό
[Now includes rose gold]
Reference from the APP Διαδικασία Εγχειρίδιο:
Gold has been used successfully as piercing jewelry for thousands of years. It is considered by both our industry and the medical field to be biocompatible for most people when pure enough. Gold jewelry usually contains a mixture of gold and other metals creating an alloy. Jewelry manufacturers use different alloy mixtures and often guard the recipes as trade secrets. Since the specific percentage of each metal used varies, it has shown to be impractical to set specific requirements for gold.
The purest form of gold, 24k, contains no other materials, but is too soft for use in most body jewelry. Soft jewelry may get scratched, nicked, or burred easily, and can be difficult to thread without stripping. Jewelry under 14k should not be used as it contains less than 57% gold and can include amounts of other metals that may cause adverse reactions. Only solid white or yellow gold in 14k to 18k is suitable for insertion into the body in a fresh piercing, when alloyed with other inert elements. Colored versions such as rose or green gold are alloyed with copper, silver, and/or other metals. These alloys are more likely to cause adverse reactions in the body. In the making of white gold alloys, metals such as platinum or palladium are used to make the gold white in appearance. APP standards require that white gold be nickel free.

Chapter 1
This is my first story.
I shoulder my bag with a sigh, the bus driver giving me an unimpressed look as I rubbed my face with the hand not clutching a book to my side. Making a face at her, I jolted awake from the stupor I had fallen into when we jerked out of the parking lot.
Scowling, I made my way down the rows of unruly kids and wedged myself beside a girl sitting on her boyfriend's lap, the two gazing at each other with such devotion that I wanted to gag.
I kept my head down as I exit the bus, a muttered 'thank you' leaving my lips as I stepped down and started up the hill to my house. Dogs barked at me as I passed, their owners pulling them past with a scolding. Turning and continuing down a quiet lane, I stopped at 47 and unlatched the gate, making sure it swung closed once I was through, a whisper of a click my assurance that it had latched itself again.
My feet made a light padding sound as I walked down the winding stone path to the front door, situated around the back for reasons unknown to me. The large pine trees and bushes hid my house from prying eyes, obscuring any glimpse of my home except for the narrow path that led and disappeared into the foliage.
Pulling my keys out, I relaxed as the smell of pine and the lavender growing next to the door invaded my senses. I ran my hand over the worn surface of the door, flaking red paint faded by the sun and peeling off of the door. I inserted my key into the door and tried to turn it, but, as usual, the door wouldn't budge.
I pulled the door towards me and attempted to open it again, but with no success. Rolling my eyes, I shoved, putting my shoulder against it until it settled with a satisfying noise. The key turned in the lock then, and I could open it, shutting it firmly closed behind me. I walked farther into the house, ignoring the silence that settled over the rooms. I was used to it.
Once inside my room, I slid down the door, resting my head against the wood, my legs stretched out in front of me. I got up reluctantly and collapsed on the bed, so tired that even the niggling reminder in the back of my head couldn't persuade me to stay awake. My eyelids slid closed, and I drifted off into the waiting darkness.

Taking all the desired features of the 80's jogging shoe and combining them with an aggressive tread on the outsole equips these heritage runners to explore the great outdoors. The Colorado Eighty-Five remains true to its origin by offering an adaptable outsole with updated flex canals and a lateral tread on the forefoot, while the classic upper has been reformed with premium full-grain leathers and stitching, presenting them with a sophisticated and fashion forward presence.

Rated 4 out of 5 by williamj from I love the show but it came with marks on it I absolutely love this shoe and it's my second pair of Onitsuka Tigers. First in the Colorado 85's. The color size and material are all top notch. I plan to buy again. My only gripe is they came with a scuff mark and streak on the toe suede. Otherwise I love and highly recommend.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Jogman34 from Cool shoe Cool looking shoe, was super excited to get them but. They came with glue all over the toe and the rubber toe wasn't properly glued down to the shoe and already peeling up. I'll definitely be getting a refund and hopefully the next pair they send won't have any defects.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PopoBot from Comfy, and great attention to detail These shoes are very comfortable, and look great. All the details and textures are great, but from a distance the contrast between the toe box, and the rest of the shoe is a nice overall look and balance. Goes great with dark blue jeans, or shorts.

Just a few weeks after giving birth, Playboy model and reality TV star Kendra Wilkenson heard about the crazy rumors that her NFL hubby Hank Baskett had a fling with a sidepiece…a transgender model named Ava Sabrina London.
But Baskett didn't rush to clear his name in the press, then his wife grew suspicious, according to Us Magazine. When Kendra discovered an unexplained charge on Hank's credit card that dropped a dime on his affair, she absolutely lost it. Kendra was rumored to fly into a rage, she punched walls in their Calabasas, Calif. home, threw their 2009 wedding photos into the pool, and even pulled off her wedding ring, flushing it down the toilet.
Here is the video deposition of the...um...mistress that Hank had the alleged fling with:

Re: Songbird In An Iron Cage [Lion]Mature
I plucked a feather from the head of a hairless rabbit,
Yesterday, when the sun had reached my swollen ankles,
And washed his body in lilac mud,
Hung him in the shade of a blue hut.
All the while singing of my life in Kuwait,
With the long black braids
And the red wooden beads.
And we would sing
The Hairless Rabbit Song
In our soft white furs
And let our hair grow, and
We would sing to him
As we plucked the feathers from the head of each hairless rabbit
Songbird feathers,
And washed his body in our shriveled stomachs and acid tears,
Hung him in an iron cage,
Left him out to dry.
And he grew feathers.
He flew to the moon and back,
And he grew feathers.
The red wooden beads went tick tick tick
When the bells tolled noon
And he grew feathers.
Sprouting from his iron cage,
Like a bottle of warm milk, except that we had no bottles
In our blue huts
Of white furs.
And we had no red beads,
In our black braids,
And our bright spears,
War cries,
War cries, songbird,
War cries.
Whisper, iron cage,
Listen carefully.
We skinned the feathers from my hairless head
And we washed them in the rabbit
That had already dried in the shadow
Of our blue huts.

Squash, Golden Zucchini
- Organic
- Bright yellow skin
- Best when eaten under 8 inches
- Heavy yielding bush plants
- Summer squash
- 50-55 days
(C. pepo) Introduced in 1973 by W. Atlee Burpee of Philadelphia, bred from genetic material supplied by Dr. Oved Shifress. This vivid yellow fruit was the first commercial B (bicolor gene) cultivar. Crisp and mild-flavored zucchinis are borne prolifically on bush plants. 50-55 days.
Learn to Grow it
This crop can be direct seeded into the soil after the last spring frost. You can also start plants indoors 3-6 weeks before the last frost date.
If you are direct seeding, plant in groups of 2-3 seeds and keep the healthiest plant that matures. Space your plants or seeds 3-6 feet apart and plant your seeds 1/2-1 in. deep.
Make sure that your soil is well fertilized as this crop is a heavy feeder and takes a lot of nutrients from the soil. Consider adding compost to the soil the year before you plant.
These plants prefer warm weather and soil so they should be grown when temperatures are over 68 degrees F. You should avoid watering them from above as damp leaves may be susceptible to disease.

The CX-5 Urban also features a Racing Beat dual exhaust.CX-5 DempseyThe CX-5 Dempsey not only features actor and race car driver Patrick Dempsey's name but it was developed with his competitive passions in mind – motorsports and cycling, to be more specific. Throughout his professional racing career, Dempsey and Mazda Motorsports have been familiar friends with Dempsey seeing seat time behind the wheel of an RX-8 in the GRAND-AM Rolex Series. Sleek, sporty and stylishly dressed to take care of business, the CX-5 Dempsey features a high-contrast custom paint scheme of glossy grays and matte blacks with bright red highlights. Outfitted with a Specialized Bicycle S-Works Tarmac road bike and a Thule Atlantis rooftop cargo box, no road is unexplorable, whether it be a mountain trail or Manhattan traffic. Under the hood lurks a European-specification SKYACTIV-D 2.2-liter clean diesel engine to power the all-wheel-drive system, meaning no road is a challenge either. The high-power clean diesel offers a low 14:1 compression ratio with an output of 129 kW at 4,500 rpm and 420 nM of torque at 2,000 rpm. Mated to a SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual transmission, the CX-5 Dempsey offers racing-inspired dynamics and down-right driving fun – two things usually lacking in the compact SUV segment. The vehicle sits on Mazda Design-customized 20-inch black chrome alloy wheels encased in Michelin Latitude® Sport 255/45ZR20-sized all-season tires. Each wheel is highlighted with a single double-spoke painted in glossy Luminous Red, a color used in a limited fashion yet makes an appealing visual impact to the CX-5 Dempsey. Satin chrome touches in the Racing Beat dual exhaust complete the athletic ensemble.

Beneath the robust atmosphere of modern Miami, rumbles a history that goes back ten thousand years, when a settlement of Paleo-Indians first discovered the lush, tropical region. The population had already begun flourishing at the southern edge of the Biscayne Bay by the time the Spaniards arrived in 1513, with numerous settlements throughout Florida. It is estimated that as many as ten thousand Tequesta lived along the bay, while the total population from surrounding tribes added up to over 350,000 inhabitants.
The Tequesta were a peaceful tribe of hunters and gatherers, with a strong reliance on fish and berries for their diet. Juan Ponce de Leon was the first explorer to set foot on Tequesta soil. His stop was merely a notation and a description of his surroundings, which he called Chequesta. In 1565, one of the ships in Pedro Mendendez de Aviles' fleet sought refuge in what is now known as the Biscayne Bay and encountered the gentle coastal dwellers.
Mendendez was well received by the Tequesta. Touched by friendly reception, the Jesuits that had accompanied him, took the Tequesta chief's nephew with them to be educated in Havana, Cuba, and brought the chief's brother to Spain. Mendenez also left a regiment of thirty soldiers to convert the Tequesta to Christianity. A mission was built and it seemed relationships were going well until the soldiers executed one of the chief's uncles. The missionaries were forced out and unable to return until the chief's brother came back to Tequesta, urging leniency. The mission however, was abandoned. The majority of the Tequesta tribe rejected the new religion and the Jesuits decided to look for more willing converts outside the Biscayne Bay region.
Although their intentions had been peaceful, what they left behind proved fatal. Smallpox and other European introduced diseases decimated the population. When wars with other Native American tribes broke out, the weakened Tequesta were easily defeated. Two hundred fifty years after their introduction to Spain, the Tequesta, along with other coastal tribes, were virtually extinct.
The southern coast of Florida did not remain unoccupied long. By the turn of the eighteenth century, various bands of roving Native American tribes had travelled through the unsettled tropical region and decided to make the beautiful bay area their home. These tribes included the Alabama's, the Choctaws, Yamasees, Yuchi's and the Creek people. The Creeks, among the most war-like of the tribes, were called "Cimarrones" by the Spanish, which roughly meant "wild ones" or "run-away's". The name was eventually ascribed to other Florida groups, although they maintained they were separate tribes.
The relationship between the coastal tribes and the Spanish were apparently fairly compatible. Spain had liberalized its settlement policies in an effort to encourage more colonization of their southern Florida land claim. The colonists introduced farming practices and new technologies for improving the wilderness life-styles. The comparative peace during the 1700's however, was about to change with the American Revolution. The newly formed United States of the late 1700's was about to flex its muscles.
The Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War and ceded control of East and West Florida to Spanish control. The US, however, disputed the decision, claiming the Spanish authorities were harbouring run-away slaves and allowing the Native American tribes to raid colonies within the United States. Much of the blame was placed on treasure hunters from the Bahamas and the Keys who had also moved into the area in search of ships that had wrecked off the treacherous Great Florida Reef.
Florida was a problem child for Spain. It was a land of murky secrets, with suspicions of lawlessness and piracy. War broke out between the tribes, now called the Seminoles, and the US military that attempted to recapture run-away slaves from the tribal villages. The military was led by General Andrew Jackson, whose ruthlessness against the Biscayne residents was unrelenting. They scattered the villagers, burned down the towns and seized Spanish-held Pensacola and St. Marks.
In 1821, Spain sold Florida to the United States for five million dollars. One year later, it was declared a territory of the United States with the potential to gain statehood. A lighthouse was built in 1825 to warn ships of the dangerous reefs, and industry slowly began to move in.
In 1830, Richard Fitzpatrick, a prominent figure in Colonial politics, purchased the Bahaman-held lands along the Miami River and Biscayne Bay. The wealthy statesman built a plantation, where he cultivated sugar cane, bananas, maize and tropical fruit. He imported sixty slaves to work on his plantation. Six years later, with the Second Seminole War, he abandoned it.
The Second Seminole War is considered the bloodiest and longest war fought between the United States and Native American Tribes. The seven years of conflict caused enormous losses to both sides. During that time period, the United States spent $20 million fighting against the Seminoles, with casualties on both sides estimated in the thousands. It caused nearly a total loss of the native population within the Miami area. At its end, most of the Native American tribes within the Florida area had been relocated to reservations and Miami was left with no more than four hundred inhabitants. The Cape Florida lighthouse had been burned by the Seminoles and was not repaired until 1846.
The Second Seminole War did not end conflict between the United States and the Florida tribes, but instead bred distrust and bitterness. A third war broke out in 1855, but was neither as long nor as devastating. Using guerrilla war tactics, conflict was defined as a series of skirmishes, with the US ultimately removing 150 more Seminoles to reservations, although many continued to remain in the Everglades. As long as they did not attack the settlements, they were left alone, but the damage to relationships would never be fully repaired and continued for the next one hundred years. The polarization between the Seminoles and the United States lasted until the 1960's, when the passage of the Federal Civil Rights Act provided enforcement of citizen's rights.
Miami's slow start began changing radically during the late nineteenth century. It started with one woman, Julia Tuttle, who despite financial difficulties purchased 640 acres on the bank of Miami River in present day Miami. Her fortune began with the misfortune of northern Florida. An unusual freeze had wiped out most of the citrus crops in the north, and over half throughout the state, but Miami had been unaffected. Tuttle sent railroad magnate, Henry Flagler a box of orange blossoms as proof they had escaped the frost and invited him to visit Miami. After concluding his visit, he decided the area was ripe for extending the Florida East Coast Railway Service. The terms of the contract allowed him to help with the city planning and to build a resort hotel.
With a railroad service, Miami's growth was rapid. At the time Julia Tuttle was cultivating citrus trees, the sleepy little town contained just fewer than 1,700 inhabitants. By 1920, there were 29, 549 people. With lax prohibition laws and permissive attitudes toward gambling, as well as an attractive climate, new residents began flooding in, turning Miami into a modern city with high-rise buildings, resorts and parks. The arts began to flourish, with the deco-art architecture built in the 1930's.
When Fidel Castro took power in Cuba, most of the Cubans living in Miami returned to Cuba. It was a two-way exodus, however. Many of Cuba's middle and upper class citizens began migrating en masse into Miami, often leaving behind all their possessions. Throughout the 1960's and 1970's refugees were allowed to leave Cuba and settle in the Miami-Dade County. Over four hundred thousand refugees had migrated by 1970. In 1980, the Mario Boatlift transported 150,000 Cubans to Miami, the largest transport in civilian history.
Many of the refugees settled in the district that is now known as Little Havana. Retaining its distinct Central American atmosphere, it has become a centre for social, cultural and political activities in Miami. It is characterized by a robust street life, excellent restaurants, live music, a number of mom and pop enterprises and a warm, passionate people.

Modi and 61 other government officials were accused of conspiring the Godhra riots cases. However, the court also stated that the petitioner Zakia Jafri will get the SIT within one month. Zakia Jafri is the widow of former Congress MP Ehsaan Jafri who along with 69 other people were allegedly burnt alive by a riotous mob.
The Supreme Court had earlier ordered the SIT to probe the allegation made by Zakia on the Gulbarg Society massacre that saw the death of 67 people. She had stated that there was a larger conspiracy behind the attacks.
The probe agency headed by former CBI chief RK Raghavan could not find any evidence on this to make Modi and others culpable.
It must be a major setback for Teesta Setalvad, a co-petitioner of the case. Earlier the investigative agency SIT had opposed to handing over the report to Teesta and lawyer Mukul Sinha saying, "They (the activists) have 'no locus in the case'."
